In this episode of the California Underground Podcast, host Phil and co-host Camille engage with Keely Covello, founder of America Unwon, to discuss critical issues surrounding California politics, particularly focusing on the plight of ranchers in Point Reyes, the impact of government overreach, and the challenges posed by illegal cannabis cultivation in Mendocino County. The conversation delves into the historical context of ranching in California, the environmental activism that threatens agricultural livelihoods, and the implications of water management policies. Keely shares her insights on the struggles faced by local farmers and the influence of cartels in the region, emphasizing the need for self-sufficiency and the protection of agricultural communities.
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.
