STREAMING "THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW" WITH JEFF BLISS 3-13-26
1959 THE SANDS.
This transcript of the John Batchelor Show features a conversation with Jeff Bliss regarding current events primarily focused on California and the West Coast. The dialogue contrasts lighthearted topics, such as the Las Vegas A's stadium progress and the iconic Vegas sign, with more serious concerns like the billionaire migration fleeing high taxes in Washington and California. They discuss the rising national political profile of Gavin Newsom despite his local popularity struggles and the persistent challenges of homelessness and copper wire theft in major cities. The hosts also touch upon the global supply chain vulnerabilities caused by Middle Eastern conflicts, specifically mentioning the sourcing of bromine and helium for technology. Finally, the segment critiques the "woke" rebranding of Disney films and the declining cultural influence of the Oscars due to overt political messaging.
