In this episode, host John Phillips delves into the issues plaguing California, starting with a whistleblower's allegations of a County of Los Angeles employee sleeping on the job during the Eaton fire. The employee, Steve Lieberman, was supposed to oversee the emergency operations center, but witnesses claim he was asleep. This raises questions about the county's emergency response and the impact on residents. The conversation also touches on the state's parole system, where released inmates are not being properly supervised, and the city of Oakland's handling of homeless encampments.
