Be invenitos. That's California for welcome to this emergency episode of Radio Free California with my friend and occasional guest host, John Fleischman.

John, you've got a substack that's awesome. It's called So Does It Matter. You are, of course,

notorious, infamous, and wildly celebrated for having launched Flash Report back how many years ago?

30? 25. It's 20 years. 20 years this year is that it that's there was a picture

famously of you in the orange county register i think in your PJs working on your laptop that was

just 20 years ago yeah i mean i for five years i had an online newsletter but it really didn't

become the flash report with a website until 2006.

But yeah, I'm happy to provide that picture of me and my pajamas to put in the show notes.

Well, we don't need it because you're wearing your pajamas now.

I kid.

Hey, there's so much to get to.

When you and I talked about doing this emergency episode, I should have said that David

Bonson is traveling.

He would love to jump in on these topics.

But there are a few people who are more, I think, in tune with what happened in the redistricting fights.

We want to talk about that.

And then Nancy Pelosi had the terrible form to announce that she's retiring this morning.

We're recording Thursday. You know what? You've got to take it when you retiring this morning. We're recording Thursday.

You know what?

You've got to take it when you can get it.

So we might talk about that and we might talk about the new fashions in anti-Semitism.

Apparently it's cool again for some in some quarters.
