While California Burns, Newsom Podcasts

In this episode of the California Underground Podcast, hosts Phil and Camille discuss various pressing topics in California politics, including the cringe-worthy rollout of the Epstein files by the Trump administration, the overwhelming support for Prop 36 and the subsequent funding challenges, the economic impacts of fast food wage increases, and Gavin Newsom's new podcast venture. The conversation highlights the disconnect between the government and the people, the implications of wage increases on employment, and the political maneuvering of Newsom as he prepares for a potential presidential run.Are you a Californian who feels isolated and alone in your political views in a deep blue state? Feel like you can’t talk about insane taxes, an overbearing government, and radical social experiments without getting a side eye? Then join us on the California Underground Podcast to hear from people just like you. Original air date 3.2.25Chapters02:38 Cringe Moment: The Epstein Files Rollout11:45 Prop 36: The Overwhelming Vote and Funding Issues32:31 Fast Food Wage Increases and Industry Impact41:11 The Impact of Minimum Wage Increases47:15 The Cost of Living in California54:10 The Nature of Fast Food Jobs01:01:08 Gavin Newsom's Podcasting Ventures*The California Underground Podcast is dedicated to discussing California politics from a place of sanity and rationality.*Check out our full site for more information about the show at www.californiaunderground.liveCheck out our sponsor for this episode, StopBox, and get 10% off your order when you go to www.stopbox.com/californiaundergroundFollow California Underground on Social Media  Instagram: www.instagram.com/californiaunderground X: https://twitter.com/CAUndergoundTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@californiaunderground?_t=8o6HWHcJ1CM&_r=1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj8SabIcF4AKqEVFsLmo1jA Read about our Privacy Policy: https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/privacy-policy/
