Ep. 301: While California Burns, Newsom Podcasts

In this episode of the California Underground Podcast, hosts Phil and Camille discuss various pressing topics in California politics, including the cringe-worthy rollout of the Epstein files by the Trump administration, the overwhelming support for Prop 36 and the subsequent funding challenges, the economic impacts of fast food wage increases, and Gavin Newsom's new podcast venture. The conversation highlights the disconnect between the government and the people, the implications of wage increases on employment, and the political maneuvering of Newsom as he prepares for a potential presidential run.

Are you a Californian who feels isolated and alone in your political views in a deep blue state? Feel like you can’t talk about insane taxes, an overbearing government, and radical social experiments without getting a side eye? Then join us on the California Underground Podcast to hear from people just like you.
