We are celebrating 2026, the 250th anniversary of the experiment called the United States of America. Can we keep our freedom? Will California move back towards the middle or is California a lost cause? How will AI impact the next 5 years? How is AI used in Real Estate. How do you disclose an AI altered picture of your home for sale? Is simply editing the picture a reason to disclose? If you think fraud is bad in Minnesota, Newsom and California say hold my beer!

The year in reflection. Will California get tired of bad governance? Houses are not being rebuilt in LA. Stricter building codes are being adopted despite promises to freeze the codes. Gas prices could exceed $10 per gallon within 3 years with the closed refineries. Electric prices will rise by more than 33% over the next 3 years. These things are all caused by elected and unelected California policy makers. We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk. Real Talk is the

How would you describe a state that promotes the sexualization and mutilation of young children? Is it evil? Are the proponents of "gender affirming care" just well meaning but misguided? In this week's podcast we discuss a young woman who was told at age 12 by a California school counselor that her anorexia and feelings of depression were caused by her being born in the wrong body. Getting hormone blockers and taking testosterone would help her to cope with her "mental" issues. At

After a 20 year study Berkeley scientists have determined that Native Americans were right. Controlled burns create healthier forests and reduce air pollution. Who would have guessed that? In another 30 year study, the United Nations found that over the last 30 years sea level has only gone up 3 inches. They then lied and said that is exactly what their models predicted. (They have been predicting at least 1 foot of sea level rise every 10 years through 2050). The Federal Reserve

In an imaginary California where there are no building codes, no permit fees and no inspections, would consumers buy a house built to 1992 building standards? The cost of building the home would be approximately 50% of today's cost to build. Did the seditious six Senators conspire with a Foreign Pysch Ops contractor to produce the videos encouraging our military to disobey orders from their commanding officers? Who paid for the videos and the hundreds of billboards with a similar message

What are you thankful for? The first Thanksgiving was to celebrate every gift God has given us. The Pilgrims celebrated the right to worship freely. William Bradford tried socialism the first year of their arrival in America and found that many chose to not work if they had to share their food and belongings equally. It nearly destroyed the colony. The result was the beginning of American capitalism. Each pilgrim was no responsible to grow their own food and care for themselves. The

Would a 50 year mortgage make housing more affordable? If the building code allowed it, would home buyers choose a 3 bedroom one bathroom house, with a carport, a wall heater and evaporative cooling. No fire sprinklers. Nominal insulation and priced at under $180,000 on a 6,000 square foot lot? Newsom claims that California is the at the forefront of the damage caused by climate change as evidenced by the worst economic fire in history which hit California in "winter". An "atmospheric

If you don't vote don't complain about bad governance. Less than 30% of registered Republicans voted on election day in California. A 75% turnout would have flipped the passage of Proposition 50.

One of the primary duties of government is to help prevent and fight fires. The more we know about the Los Angeles fires which caused the loss of more than 12,000 homes the more we realize how inept the entire Los Angeles DEI leadership was and is. Fresno Land in a story this week also exposed how the US Forest Service refused to allow a controlled burn last year which would have prevented the tragic loss of our ancient redwoods in the Garnet fire.

The Trump administration has cut over $400 million in Federal funding from the Morro Bay Condor Cuisanart wind farm hopefully putting this ill conceived project to death before it starts.
