This week on the show, we're discussing the state of California's governorship and the future of the state. With the upcoming election just around the corner, we're diving into the latest developments in the gubernatorial race between Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton. But first, our guest Phil Mauriello Junior joins us to talk about his new book, The Gilded State, and his thoughts on the current state of California politics.

Phil shares his insights on the recent environmental disaster in Boyle Heights, where a fire at a cold storage facility has left residents suffering from health issues due to the smell of rotting food. He also discusses the lack of response from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has been criticized for his absence from the issue. Phil believes that Newsom's inaction is a result of his desire to maintain a squeaky-clean image ahead of his potential presidential run.

We also discuss the upcoming special election to replace Eric Swalwell in the Congressional seat he vacated due to allegations of sexual assault. The candidates, Aisha Wahab and Melissa Hernandez, are engaging in a heated campaign, with millions of dollars being spent on ads and social media attacks. But what's behind the intense spending, and what does it say about the state of the Democratic Party?

Tune in to hear more about these topics and the latest developments in California politics. Join us as we explore the complexities of the gubernatorial race, the future of the state, and the impact of national politics on local issues.
