This episode of the podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in California politics, as the speaker takes a closer look at the state's gubernatorial election and the Democratic nominee, Javier Becerra. But what's really going on here? Is Becerra a serious candidate, or is he just not taking the campaign seriously? The speaker breaks down a cringeworthy interview with Becerra, where he's asked a series of bizarre questions by a comedian from the San Francisco Standard. The result is a trainwreck of an interview that leaves the speaker questioning Becerra's ability to lead the state.

The conversation starts off with a discussion about Becerra's lack of engagement with the press, and how he's only done one interview in months. The speaker highlights the contrast between Becerra's behavior and that of his opponent, Steve Hilton, who has been everywhere and has done every legitimate interview. The speaker also touches on the topic of the California dream, and how Becerra's campaign is not doing much to inspire voters.

One of the most striking moments in the interview comes when Becerra is asked about his views on various topics, including 9/11 and the opioid crisis. His responses are awkward and cringeworthy, and the speaker wonders if he's taking the campaign seriously. The speaker also critiques Becerra's lack of knowledge about basic issues, such as the name of the mayor of San Francisco.

If you want to understand what's really going on in California politics, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on Becerra's campaign and the implications for the state's future. Listen to the full episode to hear the speaker's analysis and critique of Becerra's performance in the interview, and to get a better understanding of the issues at play in the gubernatorial election.
