  • Summary

  • In today's episode, Josiah and Brandon delve into a pressing issue at the heart of California's political scene: the homelessness crisis. Governor Gavin Newsom has recently expressed frustration over the state's slow progress in addressing homelessness, going so far as to threaten cuts to funding for counties that fail to show improvement. He has already followed through on this threat by redirecting $10 million in grant money from San Diego County to San Jose.

    The episode also explores a recent report about a Pakistani suspect allegedly involved in a plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The suspect reportedly gained entry into the United States under a 'significant public benefit parole,' raising serious questions about security and immigration policies.

    We wrap up this week's podcast with a brief look at a thwarted terror plot in Vienna targeting a Taylor Swift concert, and an update on the escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly Iran's ongoing threats against Israel.
