In this episode of The Disinfo Detox, Nolan Higdon sits down with Butch Ware, the Green Party candidate for California Governor, to discuss the urgent need for a political alternative in the Golden State. As California and the nation navigate a complex political landscape defined by the current administration, Ware argues that the path forward requires a total rejection of the status quo in favor of a platform centered on human needs and grassroots power.
From the systemic failure of the Democratic Party to address the needs of the working class to the crushing realities of poverty and the housing crisis, Nolan and Butch peel back the layers of California’s political establishment. They explore why the state’s current leadership has struggled to fix a failing education system and how third-party movements can provide a genuine voice for the marginalized. This conversation is a deep dive into the "politics of the possible," offering a vision for a California that prioritizes people over corporate interests.
The Third-Party Path: Why Butch Ware believes the Green Party is the only viable vehicle for challenging the duopoly and addressing California’s unique challenges.
Education for All: A critical look at the state of California’s schools and Ware’s plan to reinvest in students rather than administrative bureaucracy.
The Housing Crisis: Moving beyond market-based solutions to treat housing as a fundamental human right for every Californian.
Poverty and Inequality: Analyzing the root causes of the wealth gap in one of the world’s largest economies and how to build a truly inclusive safety net.
The Democratic Party Critique: A deep dive into how neo-liberal policies have alienated voters and why a progressive alternative is more necessary than ever.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
