The California high-speed rail project is a hot topic, and this episode dives into the latest controversy surrounding the project's finances. The speaker discusses the recent audit that revealed consultants working on the project have been abusing the expense report process, charging for things like Ubers, first-class flights, and even nightclub visits. The governor's response is to call for accountability, but the speaker isn't buying it, questioning whether the project is just a way for union workers to make a living off of a train that may never be completed.

The conversation also touches on the topic of plug-in solar panels, which have just been legalized in California. The speaker discusses the benefits of these panels, which can be installed on balconies and save consumers money on their energy bills. However, the new law has strict safety standards that none of the currently available kits meet, making it difficult for consumers to actually purchase and install these panels.

The episode also covers a new trend in San Francisco, where thieves are using water to break into apartment buildings by flooding the call boxes. The speaker discusses the potential risks of this tactic and the need for improved security measures.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in California politics and the latest developments on the high-speed rail project. The speaker's commentary on the project's finances and the plug-in solar panel law is insightful and thought-provoking. Don't miss this episode to stay up-to-date on the latest news and opinions.
