Stephen Cluebeck will pull us through. Hi, I'm Stephen J. Klubeck, and I know this is formerly noted as hard truth of Stephen J. Klubeck, but it's a Stephen J. Klubeck podcast, and today, as you know, we always have fascinating friends here on the show, and today I'm here with my dear friend, Scott Budneck.

Thank you for having me, brother.

I appreciate it.

And we're going to talk about some interesting concepts, always hard truths, as you know.

But today we're going to talk about Hollywood, how important it is to California and also prison reform and what it's like the system.

Because Scott is so involved. he's taught me so much and

we're going to talk about that too on the show today but um the biggest topic of california today is

keeping Hollywood and Hollywood man i know you've been working your ass off on this it has been

it's been quite the campaign.

And when we started it in November, it didn't look like anything was going to happen.

Where were you getting pushed back from?

Man, horrible budget.

A lot of cuts happening in social services, lots of potential cuts happening from the federal government. Just very bad budget year. Like a lot of people were like, we believe in this,

but not now. If not now, when?

Well, that was my, I mean, a lot of people that aren't part of the business and are not from L.A., right?
