    California Post Launching Soon - One-One-Interview With New Opinion Page Editor Joel Pollak

    Welcome to So, Does It Matter? A Podcast on California Politics. This week we have a one-on-one interview with Joel Pollak, formerly of Breitbart News Network, who has just started as the new opinion page editor of the soon-to-launch California Post!Visit our Substack for lots of great California political content: www.SoDoesItMatter.com. We recorded this conversation on Joel’s very first day in that role, and it shows — his excitement and vision for what’s ahead in California media are unmistakable. We discuss what the California Post aims to contribute to the state’s political debate, how independent voices can flourish in a polarized media landscape, and what it will take to engage readers who’ve tuned out of traditional journalism. Joel also reflects on lessons from his years covering politics, his friendship with the late Andrew Breitbart, and what California’s next political chapter might look like. It’s a brilliant, candid, and forward-looking conversation you won’t want to miss. Joel also discussed his personal experiences with the fires last year, having been a homeowner in the Pacific Palisades.

    Explainer: The Government Shutdown

    LONGTIME CONSERVATIVE STRATEGEST JON FLEISCHMAN WALKS LISTENERS THROUGH THE WHY OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNReporting from the Dodger Stadium parking lot before Game 5 of the World Series (which, as it turns out, did not go so well), Jon Fleischman takes a short break from California politics to talk about what’s unfolding in Washington. The federal budget mess may seem distant, but it has enormous consequences here at home—especially with 54 California politicians helping shape federal policy. In this week’s video commentary, I explain how Congress keeps government running with “Christmas-tree” spending bills and endless “continuing resolutions” that pile ornaments of new spending onto a sagging tree. And what is it that Democrats are trying to get done, apparently, and why are they holding up passing a funding bill for the government?

    Prop. 50, Conservatism & More - A Podcast Interview With Will O'Neill of the Orange County GOP

    In this conversation, longtime California conservative strategist Jon Fleischman interviews Will O'Neill, the Chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County. The conversation delves into the implications of redistricting on competitive districts, highlighting the reduction of such districts in Orange County and the resulting lack of political accountability. It emphasizes the importance of engagement across party lines and the consequences of creating uncompetitive districts, which can lead to a disconnect between elected officials and their constituents.

    Prop. 50 - Big Warning Signs for Republicans - A Deep Dive

    Typically, each week, site publisher Jon Fleischman, a veteran of California politics for over three decades, brings on a guest for a one-on-one interview focused on some aspect of California politics or policy. This week, Jon takes a break from his usual routine to bring you a special 25-minute solo podcast, where he provides a detailed analysis of the current state of the Proposition 50 campaigns. Jon, of course, is a partisan — as a constitutional conservative and Republican. He’s a former regional Vice Chairman and former Executive Director of the California Republican Party. But Jon is known for his candor, especially when engaging in political analysis, and in this “must listen” podcast, Jon walks through why the campaign is not going so great for opponents to Prop. 50 right now, and also takes a deep dive into why that is the case. He closes with a discussion about what happens if Proposition 50 passes — because the fight at the ballot box is not the last fight to defeat the cynical measure.
