Former California Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D) speaks his mind

We prove that Republicans and Democrats CAN have a civilized, friendly conversation, and not be at each other's throats even when they disagree.
Mike Gatto was an Assemblyman for 7 years, in an LA district that includes Hollywood. Mike believes in talking things out, and is not afraid to call out either of the Political Parties on what he thinks is wrong.
He is a believer in Common Sense, and actually believes in the Constitution (something many of his Democrat colleagues do not).
Some topics we touch on in this episode:
JFK, Bill Clinton, Obama, Liberals vs Progressives, Fetterman, young people, American Culture, Liberalism vs Conservatism, how Politics in the New Religion for many of the non-religious, Trump, the National Guard, Limited Government, Biden, Totalitarianism vs Vigilantism, Newsome, Pacific Palisades Fires and the NWS dire advance warnings which were ignored by LA politicians and Bureaucrats, Media Lies about those warnings, Karen Bass, how California is over-regulated and very expensive, how EV mandates are unrealistic, how AI will further drain electricity in a State where rolling brownouts are already common, the California Exodus of the last few years, labeling in California (why EVERYTHING is labeled as cancer-causing!)...
Mike also talks a little about his book, NOIR BY NECESSITY, which he wrote about his father's still-unsolved murder during a home invasion, which also led him to step away from politics despite being the 3rd most powerful politician in California at the time, and how he refused to go against the 2nd Amendment after his father's death.
His book is available here, on Amazon:
