In this episode of the California Underground Podcast, hosts Phil and Camille discuss significant political developments in California, focusing on the controversial AB 379 bill aimed at protecting minors from sexual exploitation. They explore Trump's proposal to reopen Alcatraz, the historical context of the prison, as well as hypocritical Democratic politicians like Ted Lieu who claim to be Catholic, yet support ideals that go against Catholic teachings.


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, the most trusted podcast on all things California politics.
