Summary
Governor Gavin Newsom had a weekend chock full of bad publicity! There were massive gatherings in the Hollywood Hills, plenty of beachgoers defying the beach closures, and a massive display of fireworks across the state. It appears that Californians are becoming tired of draconian politicians and their restrictive lockdown orders and blatant hypocrisy.
We also tell you about our Venice Beach Independence Day Autonomous Zone. It was a hit! You'll hear about our time on the beach and Phelim's great interview on Fox News with Raymond Arroyo on the Ingraham Angle.
We also discuss a very interesting graphic about the "risk" of various activities for contracting COVID and some British snobbery! We hope you enjoy today's episode and that you and your family had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
