California Liberty Project

In this conversation, talk-show host & author Steve Deace is the guest. Greg and Steve discuss the intersection of politics and spirituality. They explore the presence of supernatural and demonic activity in politics and culture, and the role of divine judgment. They also discuss the relationship between Christian faith and politics, debating whether Christian beliefs should be intermingled with political decisions/governance or if there should be a separation between the two. Finally, they offer advice for conservatives living in blue states, emphasizing the importance of concentrating resources and creating dissident communities.

Katy Grimes (from the ) is our guest this week, and we discussed all things #California in 2024. Specifically, we focused on the deluge of new laws that have taken effect here in California, as of January 1. Don't miss this episode! #californialibertyproject

My guest for this week's episode is Mike Netter of Rebuild California. Mike is a citizen activist and radio host on KABC 790 AM in Los Angeles. He helped spearhead the effort to recall Gavin Newsom, and he is currently working to spread the word on several issues critical to California's future: energy & forest management; education; law and order; water; self governance. We discussed the failures of Sacramento that downgrade the quality of life for California's citizens, the power-hungry politicians lining up and waiting for Newsom's departure, and what can be done to save our state.

Dr. Walter Block is a libertarian scholar and professor at Loyola University New Orleans, and he is an author of two-dozen books. He is also a senior fellow at the Mises Institute. His work focuses on Austrian economics and libertarian political theory -- and he is not afraid to tackle thorny/unpopular topics. In this episode, we started off by discussing Walter's early years in Brooklyn, where he was a classmate of Bernie Sanders' and later met Ayn Rand and her associates as an undergrad. He credits some conversations and meetings with them for opening his eyes to liberty and free markets. Walter was also a friend and mentee of the late Murray Rothbard's. In addition to discussing some of the universities with Austrian economists in residence, we spent most of the episode talking about the Israel-Hamas conflict. Walter recently co-wrote a controversial op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal in which he defended Israel's actions and was highly critical of Palestinian-rights movements. We talked about some of theory as well as practical aspects of what he feels must be done in the wake of the October 7 attack on Israel.

This is a LIVE episode in which I'm joined by Lillian & A Rod from LEXIT. We discussed LEXIT's core mission, which is primarily spiritual and secondarily political. They are aiming to spread the truth to all of their fellow Americans; however they are specifically looking to remind Latinos and Hispanic Americans that now is a good time to exit the Democratic Party. We also discussed some current events as well as the persistent problem of grifters here in California's Democrat "machines."

Welcome to @californialibertyproject Episode 60! Lance Christensen and I discussed parental rights and parental-notification policies, the recently-closed legislative session here in California, and how we can move forward in the struggle to protect our children from the State's predations.

Edward Ring is our guest this week. We discussed the state of California's war on energy, expensive & unreliable electricity, the anti-growth mindset, and the dangers of sustainable development. Another critical topic we covered was California's water crisis: how did we get here and what we can do now. Edward Ring is a Senior Fellow at the California Policy Center, where he covers water and energy issues, among other topics. His writing has appeared in the L.A. Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, National Review, and many other publications.

Great episode w/ Osvaldo Maysonet, as we discussed the dangers of gun control, California's legislative session, and the stupidity of the minimum wage.

For this episode, I was joined by Sonja Shaw, who has been a fearless leader in the parental-rights movement. She recently helped enact an influential parental-notification policy in CVUSD. We discussed the role of parents in the educational process, the dangers of State indoctrination, and the importance of local grass-roots activism.

My guest for Episode 56 of the California Liberty Project is Alex Balekian. Alex is a physician and a lifelong resident of California. He is running for California's 30th Congressional District. We had a wide-ranging discussion on immigration policy, foreign policy, parental rights in California, and a "deep dive" into issues important to his district.

In this solo episode, I recount California's numerous public-safety and public-policy failures over the past few years: water mismanagement, increasing street crime, subsidies & support for drug abuse, Prop. 57, homelessness, etc. Gavin Newsom is now being forced to sound like a voice of reason (partly) because he is trying to finagle a run for the presidency. So that might mean that reparations will be a "no way" and critical water projects might actually get built (over the objections of the fanatical environmental zealots). Also: What the heck is going on with California's Sen. Dianne Feinstein?

This week's guest is C. Jay Engel, host of the Chronicles Magazine podcast. We discussed the nature of today's woke, post-Marxist left, as well as the limitations of classical liberalism and libertarianism. We also briefly covered the LA Dodgers controversy and the new, woke national holy month that is imposed upon us every June. Finally, we talked about the incredible geography and political diversity in California (our home state), and the prospects for liberty for its beleaguered citizens.

The guest for this episode is Mike ter Maat. Mike is an Austrian economist, retired pro-reform police office, and current candidate for the Libertarian Party's nomination for POTUS. We discussed reforms in policing and what to do about violence, drugs, and homelessness in America's cities. We also covered topics such as the failed War on Drugs, reining in the Federal Reserve, the immorality of inflating the money supply, public property & the Tragedy of the Commons, and much more.

This was a great discussion with Siaka Massaquoi about the Great Reset vs the Great Awakening, as well as localism and true conservatism, the importance of getting activated in your community, and how to reach out to those with different political beliefs.

Arod and Lillian from LEXIT (Kern County, California, chapter) join me once again to discuss the insanity and authoritarianism of the past three years, vaccine mandates and "bad bills" in California, Trump vs Desantis, the importance of Biblical history & faith, and much more.

In Episode 34, our guest is prolific author and researcher Germinal G. Van. Germinal has written 26 (!) books on topics ranging from economics, history, political economy, and sociology. In addition to discussing his latest book on wealth distribution in America, we also talked about the benefits of capitalism, the errors of Marxism, and income inequality. We also shifted gears and discussed Germinal's writing process and how to write & publish your first book! Learn more at germinalgvan.com Visit californialibertyproject.com

In this episode, my guest was Louis Marinelli, president of YesCalifornia. We discussed the new CalExit 3.0 efforts, in which 22 left-leaning coastal California counties would eventually secede from the United States. The remaining 36 California counties would remain in the United States. This effort seeks to put forth a citizen’s ballot initiative that would amend California’s Constitution, resulting in this secession. In addition to detailing how CalExit 3.0 would work, we discussed California’s culture and political climate, peaceful secession movements, the Jeffersonian tradition and local political control, classical liberalism, and much more. Find out more about CalExit 3.0 at YesCalifornia.org

In Episode 32, my guests are Kerry Baldwin and Gregory Baus. Kerry and Gregory co-host the Reformed Libertarians podcast. We discussed several different topics including the relationship between Christianity, anarchy, and the state; Christian & libertarian approaches to abortion, prostitution, etc.; morality and the law; Romans Chapter 13; subsidiarity – and much more! Also, in the first few minutes of this episode, I discuss California’s simultaneous rain/flood emergency and never-ending “drought state of emergency.” California’s abusive laws and idiotic regulations have ensured that the state will always careen sinusoidally from one emergency to another – even though everyone knows in advance that California usually has rainy winters and dry summers. In addition to co-hosting the Reformed Libertarians podcast, Kerry Baldwin has the Dare to Think podcast, and she operates the Mere Liberty website. Kerry is an independent researcher, co-author, and Socratic coach with a BA in Philosophy. She is a confessional Presbyterian and became a libertarian in 2008. Gregory Baus is a confessional Presbyterian and student of Reformational philosophy. He became a libertarian anarchist in 2008. His personal interests include classic diners, folk and jazz music, and speculative fiction.

In this episode, Michael Rectenwald and I discuss PC culture, woke totalitarianism, cultural revolutions, various iterations of the Left, and the dangers of globalist schemes such as the Great Reset. Michael Rectenwald is an author, frequent cable-news commentator, and former NYU professor.

In Episode 29 of the California Liberty Project podcast, Tatum and Jennifer Shank joined me to discuss their work in Hollywood 4 Freedom. We covered topics such as medical freedom, the right to privacy, what it’s like to be a conservative living in LA, and whether or not it’s time to leave California for “greener pastures” (i.e., places in other states that actually value freedom of conscience, traditional values, and liberty).

In this episode of the California Liberty Project podcast, Lillian Lopez and A Rod joined the show to discuss their involvement with LEXIT, a movement dedicated to showing Latinos and Hispanic Americans that they don't have to vote Democrat by default just because of their ethnicity. LEXIT was founded in 2018 as a vehicle to counter the leftist narrative being pushed by propagandists in the Corporate Media. We discussed the power of thinking for oneself, as well as political parties in America (and the danger of factions that our Founding Fathers warned us about), Democrat & Republican political machines in California, and much more.

Don't miss this episode of the California Liberty Project, in which Blas Vegas Carrasco and I dive into a free-market classic for the ages: Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. This short book serves as a powerful primer that will help you tear down every common economic fallacy that floats around today. Blas and I cover topics such as minimum-wage laws, rent-control laws, price controls, the "broken window" fallacy, "public works" projects, and also the highly entertaining movie Falling Down.

In Episode 21, Greg and Tracy Henderson cover some really important topics for Californians: medical freedom, bodily autonomy, and parental rights. In addition to discussing the history and mission of California Parents Union, they cover some current-events topics (e.g., what happened with ACIP and the CDC this week?) and address questions such as "What comes next for California?" and "What will the new legislative session bring, as far as horrific new bills?".
