It seems health officials across the state have given themselves the impression that they are now anointed complete rulers over our everyday lives and the Constitution no longer applies to them. Where are our elected leaders to rein them in?

In the midst of a pandemic, California Assembly continues to chip away at Second Amendment rights in California.

Is Newsom's "order" as scary as people are making it out to be? Or is it all bluster?

Episode 30 - Peak Hypocrisy Post COVID, Mask Lawsuit Update, Reparation Bill Passes in California

California Underground Podcast: Discussing California Politics Through a Lens of Sanity

play

06/12/20 • 56 min

Many people who have been watching the news are starting to see the absolute hypocrisy of the actions of our elected officials. Protests that were for reopening businesses were deemed selfish and dangerous, protests for George Floyd are righteous and altruistic. Most are getting fed up with it and are starting to see through it all.

Quick update on the mask lawsuit that was filed in federal court in San Diego.

A bill passes the California Assembly to create a task force to look into reparations for slavery. Is this type of identity politics helpful in times like this when you are trying to bring people to solve issues?

Episode 27 - Playtime Is Over, Alan Dershowitz Gets the Police Power All Wrong

California Underground Podcast: Discussing California Politics Through a Lens of Sanity

play

05/23/20 • 56 min

With more and more information coming out about the severity of this pandemic, people are starting to wake up to the reality of what is really going on, and they aren't happy. As we continue to see the sharp drop off from the doomsday predictions back in March, citizens are starting to ask why their governments aren't letting them out.

Alan Dershowitz, respected attorney and professor, gets it completely wrong on the notion that the Constitution does not grant you the right to not have the state "plunge a needle into your arm." We discuss the police power and how far government can go, and it's much less than Dershowitz says.

Show Notes

  • Alan Dershowitz States Government Absolutely Has the Power to Plunge Needle In Your Arm
  • Text from California Supreme Court Case Miller v. Board of Public Works of City of Los Angeles :
    • The police power of a state is an indispensable prerogative of sovereignty and one that is not to be lightly limited. Indeed, even though at times its operation may seem harsh, the imperative necessity for its existence precludes any limitation upon its exercise save that it be not unreasonably and arbitrarily invoked and applied. Hadacheck v. Sebastian, 239 U. S. 394, 36 S. Ct. 143, 60 L. Ed. 348, Ann. Cas. 1917B, 927; District of Columbia v. Brooke, 214 U. S. 138, 149, 29 S. Ct. 560, 53 L. Ed. 941. It is not, however, illimitable and the marking and measuring of the extent of its exercise and application is determined by a consideration of the question of whether or not any invocation of that power, in any given case, and as applied to existing conditions, is reasonably necessary to promote the public health, safety, morals (Railroad Co. v. Husen, 95 U. S. 465, 470, 471, 24 L. Ed. 527; Beer Co. v. Massachusetts, 97 U. S. 25, 24 L. Ed. 989), or general welfare of the people of a community (Chicago, B. & Q. Ry. Co. v. Ill., 200 U. S. 561, 592, 26 S. Ct. 341, 50 L. Ed. 596, 4 Ann. Cas. 1175). In short, the police power, as such, is not confined within the narrow circumscription of precedents, resting upon past conditions which do not cover and control present day conditions obviously calling for revised regulations to promote the health, safety, morals, or general welfare of the public; that is to say, as a commonwealth develops politically, economically, and socially, the police power likewise develops, within reason, to meet the changed and changing conditions. What was at one time regarded as an improper exercise of the police power may now, because of changed living conditions, be recognized as a legitimate exercise of that power. This is so because:
    • ‘What was a reasonable *485 exercise [of this power] in the days of our fathers may to-day seem so utterly unreasonable as to make it difficult for us to comprehend the existence of conditions that would justify same; what would by our fathers have been rejected as unthinkable is to-day accepted as a most proper and reasonable exercise thereof.’ Streich v. Board of Education, 34 S. D. 169, 147 N. W. 779, L. R. A. 1915A, 632, Ann. Cas. 1917A, 760. Miller v. Board of Public Works of City of Los Angeles (1925) 195 Cal. 477, 484–485 [234 P. 381, 383]

Episode 26 - Mask Fear Result of Safe Space Culture, Garcia Win Sign of Things to Come?, Legal Arguments Against Lockdown

California Underground Podcast: Discussing California Politics Through a Lens of Sanity

play

05/16/20 • 56 min

When you realize the reason people are so obsessed with you wearing a mask is a direct result of the safe space culture it all starts to make sense. It's not about them being empathetic, it's about being selfish for their own safety over everything else.

Mike Garcia winning California 25th could be a sign of good things to come, but we have a long way to go to even begin turning the tide here in California.

Wisconsin Supreme Court strikes down stay at home order. Does this mean anything for California? We dive into the legal arguments and dissect what they all mean.

Episode 25 - Why San Diego Order Is Unconstitutional, Gavin Pushing Auntie Pelosi's Mail In Voting, California Post Corona

California Underground Podcast: Discussing California Politics Through a Lens of Sanity

play

05/11/20 • 56 min

This past weekend we wrote a letter to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the Health and Human Services detailing why their Order is not founded in science, data, real world facts, and violates both the US and California Constitution. You can read the entire letter by clicking this link.

Newsom is looking to enact his aunt's dream of mail in voting across the nation by starting in California.

If you think the shutdown is scary, the aftermath of the California economy may be even worse. With incredible income inequality and a disappearing middle class, California is already teetering on disaster and now coronavirus may push it over the edge.

Episode 24 - 1984 in Our Country, Double Standards, OC Beach Closure, Gavin Refuses to Manage State Budget Conservatively

California Underground Podcast: Discussing California Politics Through a Lens of Sanity

play

05/01/20 • 49 min

As we head into week....6 of stay at home order? More people are beginning to wake up and feel they are being severely oppressed and robbed of their rights. Protests breaking out all over the state.

Gavin may have poked a hornets nest by singling out the OC and reawakening its strong Republican foothold.

In an interview with Seth Myers, Gavin talks about how our $24 billion surplus is gone and the federal government needs to bail him out so he can get all his progressive policies on his wish list.

Episode 32 - Second Wave of Protests (But Not BLM This Time), Explanation of Where Newsom Gets His Power, Recall Newsom 2020

California Underground Podcast: Discussing California Politics Through a Lens of Sanity

play

07/02/20 • 44 min

In this episode we discuss how the second wave of protests will not be from BLM, but instead Californians who are tired of this on/off, locked down/reopening, limbo we seem to be in. With most officials turning a blind eye to large protests yet punishing law abiding citizens with closures of their businesses, when will people say they have had enough?

There's a lot of confusion about where Newsom is getting this what seems to be unlimited amount of power. We dive into the statutes of the State of Emergency and see where we go from here.

An official recall petition is circulating the state to recall Newsom...does it have a chance to pass?
