California's future is looking bleaker by the day, and our guest Assemblyman David Tangipa is sounding the alarm. As one of the few remaining Republicans in the California legislature, he's got a unique perspective on the state's impending doom. In this episode, he shares his concerns about the new governor, Javier Becerra, and the Democratic supermajority's plans to raise taxes and increase regulations. But it's not just about the politics - it's about the people who are going to be hurt by these decisions.

Assemblyman Tangipa warns that the state's record budget and record revenue are just a facade, and that the real issue is the corruption and cronyism that's rampant in Sacramento. He's not afraid to call out the unions and special interest groups that are pulling the strings, and he's got a plan to take back the narrative and give the people a voice. But can he make a difference in a state where the Democrats are in control?

One of the key issues Assemblyman Tangipa is tackling is the proposed mileage tax, which he believes will be just one of many new taxes and regulations that will hit Californians hard. He's also concerned about the state's insurance commissioner, Jane Kim, who wants to abolish private insurance and replace it with a state-run system. But will the Democrats listen to his warnings, or will they just keep pushing forward with their agenda?

If you're a Californian, you won't want to miss this episode. Assemblyman Tangipa is a straight shooter, and he's not afraid to tell it like it is. He's got a message for the people, and it's time to listen. Tune in to hear his take on the state's future and what we can do to take back control.

**The California Conundrum: A Conversation with Eddie Scarry**

In a state where crime is on the rise, homelessness is rampant, and the economy is struggling, one thing is clear: California needs a change. This episode of the podcast delves into the recent midterm election results, where Republicans suffered historic losses, leaving the state with a supermajority of Democrats. But what does this mean for the future of California? Our guest, Eddie Scarry, a journalist and author of "Liberal Misery," joins us to break down the implications of this election and what it says about the state of the country.

Eddie Scarry shares his insights on the election results, pointing out that while the Democrats may be celebrating their victory, the reality is that voters are still unhappy with the direction of the country. He notes that the election was not an ideological one, but rather a reaction to the struggles of everyday people, who are feeling the pinch of high prices and inflation. Scarry also discusses the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and how they may shape the party's future.

The conversation also touches on the issue of crime in California, with a recent home invasion in the Hollywood Hills making headlines. Our host shares his own experiences with crime in the city, highlighting the need for effective policing and community engagement. Scarry weighs in on the topic, pointing out that the city's response times are often slow, leaving residents feeling vulnerable.

If you're interested in understanding the complexities of California politics and the implications of the midterm election results, tune in to this episode to hear Eddie Scarry's expert analysis. Join us as we explore the challenges facing the Golden State and what the future may hold.

NO DEAL: Eddie Scarry WARNS Trump About Democrats' Immigration Trap!

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in California politics, as the speaker dives into the latest developments with Governor-elect Javier Becerra's "Power Hour" proposal. The idea, which promises free electricity to certain working families during off-peak hours, is being met with skepticism by lawmakers and energy experts, who point out that it would only benefit a small percentage of the population and would likely lead to increased costs for others.

The speaker discusses the proposal's potential flaws, including the fact that it would only be relevant for a couple of hours a day and would not make a significant dent in energy bills. They also highlight the fact that the energy industry would likely shift costs onto other revenue sources, such as the state budget, which would be paid for through income taxes. The speaker notes that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and someone would have to pay for the proposal's costs.

The conversation also touches on the broader implications of Becerra's leadership style, with the speaker suggesting that he may not be equipped to handle the demands of the job. They compare him to Gavin Newsom, who was known for his celebrity status and ability to command attention, but also for his lack of engagement with lawmakers. The speaker notes that Becerra's approach may lead to a more collaborative relationship with the legislature, but it's unclear whether he has the skills to navigate the complex web of California politics.

If you're interested in learning more about the potential pitfalls of Becerra's "Power Hour" proposal and the implications of his leadership style, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's insightful analysis.
