"Drill Baby Drill" in California?

In this episode of the California Underground Podcast, host Phil discusses California's defiance of federal orders regarding transgender athletes in school sports, the state's potential shift towards increased oil drilling amidst rising gas prices, and the immigration crackdowns led by ICE in Los Angeles. The conversation also touches on the irony of protests in Mexico City against American expats while advocating for undocumented immigrants in California.

Feel like you can’t talk about insane taxes, an overbearing government, and radical social experiments without getting a side eye?
