Like Lou said… Joe Biden has had a bad week.
The Supreme Court blocked enforcement of the Biden Administration’s Covid-19 vaccine-or-test mandate for workers at large businesses. Are vax mandates done? Lou talks with legal expert Steve Baric about it.
The Governor said his budget includes a $45.7 billion dollar surplus. …Surplus is EXTRA money and NOT needed to run the state this year! That means $1,125 dollars is owed to every man, woman, and child in California. Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer is calling for Newsom to send the money back to the taxpayer. Lou talks with Mayor Kevin Faulconer about it.

AND Dr. Fauci has a month in mind when he thinks we’ll get back to pre-covid life.

So we have been asking the question since all week long… and now the Sacramento Bee is asking the same question! What if Governor Newsom issued a mask mandate and nobody showed up to enforce it? Elected leaders here in San Diego, County Supervisors, and sheriffs all across California have put the Governor on notice - we are not playing along!
The Los Angeles School Board agreed yesterday to delay enforcement of its student covid-19 vaccine mandate from January 10th to Fall 2022, citing concerns over disrupting learning and the monumental task of transferring tens of thousands of students into independent study… In other words, the ‘do not comply’ strategy is working!

Lou talks with the mother’s attorney, Nicole Pierson about what happened and what we can do to stop this!
Governor Gavin Newsom is headed to New York for a book tour promoting his children’s book on overcoming dyslexia - so that means, Gavin Newsom has spent part or all of 10 of the last 14 days outside of California! How can anyone say with a straight face that we are in a state of emergency in California?
Bad news all the way around for the Biden administration… A new Covid variant, today’s jobs number are way lower than expected, and there’s a general sense of unhappiness with the direction of the country!

Now its RE-fund the police?! Governor Newsom says there will be more police presence at retail stores due to looting in San Francisco and Los Angeles, but what good is more police if they are not supposed to engage the bad guys under this woke philosophy of not escalate?! Make some popcorn as Lou breaks it all down and we watch the woke progressive left try and play cops and robbers without the cops.
The very latest on this Christmas parade tragedy in Wisconsin… This is not the first time that Darrell Brooks Jr. (the suspect) tried to run someone over. In fact, it’s not even the first time this month! He was booked less than a week ago trying to run over his girlfriend with the same car! He made bail because the bail is so low and because the District Attorney is a social justice, George Soros, no bail, soft on crime guy.

Rittenhouse trial twists and turns: The prosecution deliberately withheld high-quality drone footage of one of the key moments of the shooting. You’ve heard of the Twinkie defense, here comes the Apple defense. And Lou opens the phones to San Diego and asks if you think Kyle is guilty or innocent.
After about 8 and a half hours of deliberations today, the Rittenhouse jury is headed home for the night and will return for day 2 of deliberations on Wednesday morning. According to US Marshalls in Kenosha, 2 jurors are now citing direct threats as potentially impacting their decision on Kyle. What’s happening here is BLM, Inc. literally is holding up justice. Where is the DOJ? Is intimidation the new normal in race relations?
It was a bad weekend for President Joe Biden. A new ABC News poll came out and it shows his approval rating is down to 41%. That’s worse than the numbers for then-Presidents; Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton at this point in their presidencies. What is the plan Joe? And a war of words over the weekend between Elon Musk and Senator Bernie Sanders over something that affects literally none of us, but it speaks volumes about where we are in American culture.

What a wild day at the Kyle Rittenhouse murder/self defense trial! Judge Judy had more jurisprudence! The prosecutor got yelled at by the judge, the judge’s cell phone went (and you’ll never guess what was his ringtone was), and at one point both the judge and Kyle had to explain and correct the prosecutor what a hollow-point was. Lou has all the juicy highlights... and will the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse be acceptable to social justice warriors?
We found the Governor! He was with the kids at the Boo-fest in Sacramento... But why the Carmen San Diego routine? And speaking of the governor and his four kids... The big debate begins on the 5-11 year olds getting the jab! Lou tells you what the Wall Street Journal had to say and it will surprise you!
It’s been 11 days now that Gavin has been missing... so what happened 11 days ago? He got his booster shot...

What a great week for Republicans! Virginia Governor and Lt. Governor, the Attorney General in Virginia, the Lower House of Delegates in New Jersey in play for 2022... Long Island, Buffalo, Minneapolis, Seattle, Santa Barbara, Carson, Moreno Valley and La Mesa! All places where we saw conservative common sense law and order! It was a lower taxes kind of week and the Dems continue to fall apart tonight on capitol hill. Lou breaks down all of it and why we will see more and more of it!
A tale of two cities... No, a tale of two Democrat losses! And now the blame-game has begun as AOC says that Tuesday proves the party should go hard left and be more progressive!

Lou talks with Ron Nehring, former San Diego County and State GOP Chairman about how we can duplicate what’s happening in Virginia here in San Diego.
Democrats love to apologize on behalf of America’s greatness. Now, Biden is apologizing for Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord and says he wants to reassert US leadership on climate. With all that is falling apart in America, is this really still a priority? Lou breaks it all down.
President Biden is in Rome and met today with Pope Francis in what many are calling a “unique encounter.” In a very Biden-esque conversation with the Holy Father we learned about Biden’s mother, Biden’s son and a quip about being the only Irishman who does this… Lou calls it a day of father, son, and holy jokes.
President Biden and the Democrats keep telling us that the rich are not paying your fair share. But, here are your tax dollars at work... The Biden administration is offering up to $450k to every illegal alien that was separated at the border from their “families” under Trump. By the way... we are under siege. Border Patrol had the highest number of border arrests ever recorded! 1.66 million people this past fiscal year. Lou talks about it all and tells you what you need to do to stop it.
Governor Newsom and California health officials are prepared to pull out all the stops to vaccinate children ages 5 to 11 against COVID-19. Will your 5 year old will be first in line for the shot?

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell died at age 84 and suffered from cancer of the blood.

So who is gonna do stuff and how do the bills get paid?
Everyone is lying in the liberal news business these days! ...It turns out liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wasn’t a social justice warrior like she’s being made out to be. In fact, sh thought Colin Kapernik was “stupid” and the National Anthem knee taking was “dumb disrepectful and shows lack of education,” but reporter Katie Couric purposely left that out to “protect her making herself unworthy because social justice was her blind spot.” Lou breaks down why this matters in the age of a pandemic and talks to Gary Schneeberger, President of the PR and media firm Roar, as well as the author of Bite The Dog: Build a PR Strategy To Make News That Matters.
Cargo ship backups happening at the ports, supply chain disruptions, no truck drivers, and soaring imported fuel costs! Maybe Biden’s new slogan should be, “make america wait again?” The White House had to ask Walmart, UPS, and Fedex to step it up and work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week… but that’s not going to fix the problem. Lou has a solution to your blue Christmas.
You know the saying, “if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it?” Well, that’s what’s happening at the White House. 360,000 stranded Southwest Airlines passengers, over 3000 flights cancelled or delayed, and Southwest is sticking with the “bad weather” story and so is the White House weather girl, Jen Psaki. Loul debates the “Freedom Flu” and why it’s never a good idea.
Southwest cancels more than 2,000 flights after it’s pilots’ union asked a court to block the company's new COVID-19 vaccination mandate.

In light of the recent announcement that the City of Los Angeles will require vaccines for indoor establishments... What will happen if San Diego County follows suit?

Fighting words no more! Our friend, Assemblyman Kevin Kiley Tweeted out that Sacramento lawmakers should get ready for a fight... Now he is being criticized for inviting riotous activity?! This of course all started with the National School Boards Association crying to the DOJ - in this current contentious times can we not any longer talk about fighting back?
It's that time of year in California when we see which bills are signed into law and which crazy ideas are left on the legislature cutting room floor. From Universal Pre-K and childcare to mustard and ketchup packet bans - Lou breaks it all down!
After the spill we are trying to pick up the pieces. As the lawsuits are filed, who is responsible for this? This is the worst Southern California oil spill in Orange County in three decades. Loul talks to Orange County DA Todd Spitzer - and it's looking more and more that this spill is linked to the surge of imported plastic junk from overseas.
Crews continued working today to contain the oil, but it has drifted South- as far as Laguna Beach and Dana Point and it’s on its way to the shoreline of Camp Pendleton. We get an update from Newport Beach Councilmember Kevin Muldoon and Eric Otjen from the Seaworld San Diego Rescue Team. Will the company be held responsible? The DA is calling for an independent investigation and one congressman says enough is enough!

The Senate votes to avoid a shutdown… but they only fund the government for less than 3 months. What does that mean? It means taxpayers lose.

Taxpayers win that one and the last fiscal Conservative Social Moderate gets body slammed by the media. Elizabeth Heng, candidate for US Senate joins lou to talk about the latest from Capitol Hill.
We can’t allow upcoming holiday air travel to contribute to another surge in Covid cases.

Here comes the vaccine mandates. Lou talks with Lance Christensen from the California Policy Center about all that is happening and how it’s impacting our kids and our schools.
President Biden said the global community stands at an "inflection point in history" amid the compounding crises of the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, and other challenges… Well, the speech was filled with promises that shows America is back to being the policeman of the world. It also means the American taxpayer will be the piggy bank for foreign aid welfare.
Bye-Bye, single family zoning in California. Governor Gavin Newsom has signed SB9, making duplexes legal on any lot zoned for one house - statewide.

It's already happening... Governor Newsom just 48 hours off his recall victory is calling for national Democrat leaders to”'stiffen” their spines when it comes to Covid-19 restrictions. In doing so, Newsom becomes the Democratic equivalent of Karl Rove, the campaign architect who says this is part of the recipe for victory. And what will the outcome of the recall campaign mean for republicans in next year’s election?
Alright...it's clean up day. Lou steals a quote from former President Carter: “I told you I'd never lie to you, so I’m not going to say it doesn’t hurt.” -The reaction to the outcome of last night’s recall election. This one hurts a little bit more than usual, but Lou isn’t going to let us be snowflakes.
Actress and activist Rose McGowan says she is no longer a Hollywood Democrat as she endorses Larry Elder for California Governor. And on Sunday, she alleged that Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, contacted her on behalf of the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s law firm in an attempt to silence her MeToo allegations.
The post mortem on the election is already being written... by the same crowd of reporters that didn't want him recalled in the first place. The main argument: Larry Elder is too Republican and no one likes Republicans in California... oh! And you need to be more moderate. Lou calls bull! These polls are wrong and we can still win this!
The election is just over 100 hours away and like Lou has always said... this craziness will now end until there will be a new governor in California. Now we have our chance to turn our beautiful state around! Frontrunner Larry Elder joins Lou and he asks him what he will do on day one. Plus, has President Biden gone too far?
Governor Gavin Newsom was in San Francisco today along with Vice President Kamala Harris who called him a national leader. Former President Barack Obama dropped a 30-second ad doubling down on the Republican Recall Narrative and a liberal woman in a Planet of the Apes mask assaults Larry Elder and throws an egg at him in Venice. She missed, but the media ignores it. Meanwhile, Cailyn Jenner and AOC are having an argument about your time of the month. Lou discusses it all with Newsmax contributor and talk show host Jennifer Kerns.
With only one week to go until we certainly change the direction of the State of California, the liberal media is going the extra mile to paint Larry Elder as a horrible, terrible, racist, bigotted homophone… and someone who is to the right of Trump! Now, Gavin Newsom says if the recall prevails, Elder will ruin not just California, but ruin America!? Lou talks about why Newsom and the Democrats are running scared because of Larry Elder.
Lots of American flags out there as we are headed into a 3 day weekend, but there is something more going on and Lou can feel it! Could the tragedy, anger,and grief over the loss of 13 U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan be sparking a renewal of the American spirit and bringing us back together? Loul talks with country music star Coffey Anderson, Mr. Red, White, and Blue.
The U.S. Supreme Court refuses to block the controversial new anti-abortion law in Texas (the U.S. Supreme Court allows the Texas Right to Life law to stand. They are saying it is the most restrictive abortion law in the nation - abortion rights groups are going ballistic, but is it really that restrictive? Lou takes a look at it through the lens of state’s rights, the politics, and another round of Lou Penrose rule number 4... words matter
So While Democrats are turning in their ballots at a much higher rate than anyone else, there is one interesting thing that we have seen so far in this recall election... and that is this: independents are voting at about the same level as Republicans. What is on the minds of Independent voters? Lou talks with former Lt. Governor and centrist Republican Able Maldonado.
In the heart of Conservative Southern California, Newport Beach, Orange County... a high school teacher says she took down the American Flag in her classroom because it made her “uncomfortable”.

And Assemblymember Laurie Davies joins the show to talk about her endorsement of Larry Elder.
With ballot harvesting, print your own ballot schemes, and general democrat chicanery in California, how do we make sure there won't be cheating? That’s the question Lou is asked most. Never-fear! The California GOP has a plan… and it involves a call on all attorneys. Lou talks with Shawn Steel, RNC Committeeman, about it.
State rules currently only require indoor masking, but San Diego Unified announced Thursday that it will require students and staff on school campuses to wear masks indoors and outdoors. The District says the new policy is meant to keep kids safe and in school... Why is San Diego Unified taking a stricter stance on mask enforcement than most other school districts? Lou talks with Sharron Mckeeman from Let Them Breathe about all of it.

We’ve hit the milestone of 1 million recall ballots returned. That means that there’s still 21 million still out there! The California Governor recall debate is scheduled for tonight, but two key players will not be there. What’s more interesting is while Larry Elder is making the discussion about saving our state, Newsom is making this all about Florida... Lou talks with Campaign Manager at RescueCalifornia.org about the current voter turnout and how Gavin Newsom is nationalizing the recall.
With these people in charge, this Covid thing will never end. Dr. Anthony Fauci now says that we won't begin to see things turning normal until Spring of 2022?! Will the Democrats allow Fauci to drive them over the cliff or is it time to dump Fauci?
Among the stable of good conservative candidates we have to replace Governor Gavin Newsom, one candidate stands out as being particularly ready to start work on day one… that would be California Assemblyman Kevin Kiley. He joins Lou to talk about the recall election and what we need to do to make sure we get Newsom out of office!
It's called the 11th Commandment for a reason... and two major candidates are violating it. And it might just cost us the recall! Kevin Faulconer and Caitlyn Jenner are making Lou super angry right now, and it’s time to knock it off. Larry Elder dropping out would cost us the recall - and you know it. Dave Bartels, Director at Atlas PAC joins the show to talk about why they decided to back Larry Elder. AND! We say goodbye to Marilyn Hyder...
The headline in today’s UT reads: “There’s a gaping divide between fully vaccinated San Diegans and everyone else.” ...ain't that the truth!

It's not about staying or leaving... it's about how we left.

US officials scramble on Taliban takeover in Afghanistan as terrorists inch toward Kabul - Is this Joe Biden’s Fall of Saigon? 20 years in Afghanistan and what did we get?

We should have seen this coming... Motor Voter registration, same day registration, ballot harvesting, all mail in election, and now... print your ballot on your home computer?

Lou talks with Redstate.com’s Jennifer Van Laar about what we need to know about California's "print-at-home ballot" recall election scheme.
California is the first state in the nation to do it and, good or bad, what begins in California tends to roll eastward.

San Diego is home to 110,000 active duty military. Today was a big day in their lives as the Defense Department announced this morning that it is planning to make Covid vaccines mandatory for all service members - that means San Diego area members of the military who are not vaccinated will no longer have a choice. Lou breaks down the current numbers and answers why they are deciding to do this now...
You've been hearing about for the past couple of weeks... businesses like Google, Delta, and CNN forcing their employees to get vaccinated or they will be fired! Should businesses force employees to get vaccinated? And is it even legal? Travis Dale sits in for Lou Penrose and talks with Employment Law Attorney and expert Josh Gruenberg about it.

There are good weeks and bad weeks in politics - for newsom this has been a bad week.

Lou talks with Rescue California’s Anne Dunsmore about Newsom’s latest antics and how the recall campaign is shaping up.

The CDC changed its recommendations that vaccinated people need to go back to wearing masks indoors… That will mean two-thirds of all American counties and all children K-12 in all schools (public and private) will go back in masks. Parents are hopping mad and Lou talks with the founder of Let Them Breathe, Sharon McKeeman about her lawsuit against the State.
Governor Newsom is showing signs that he is willing to now play hardball with the state’s unvaccinated in announcing the new vaccination verification policy. Newsom stated, "we're at a point where individual choice is now impacting the rest of us.” Some Democrats are saying it’s too little, too late. Lou talks with the County’s top Democrat, Will Rodriguez Kennedy about the Governor’s words.
America, who is a divided nation, will still be rallying around the same team - 82% of Americans will be rooting for the American Team. But, they're still sharply divided over whether athletes should use the Olympic stage to protest. The Olympics are supposed to be about performance and patriotism. Plus, it turns out the women's soccer team split the difference during the national anthem… Lou talks about all of it.
Alright, it is unmistakable now that Covid cases and hospitalizations are spiking - almost entirely of non vaccinated people. Who should be held accountable for the Covid boomerang and making the rest of us go backwards?

Lou talks to vaccinated Democrats about it.

Lou talks with Dr. Jeff Barke and will straighten it all out. And the Recall of Newsom is in full swing, but where’s Larry Elder?
More than half of California's population are being mandated or at least being strongly recommended to wear masks, including the fully vaccinated! Seven Bay-area counties, plus Los Angeles County are on the new mask mandate list... in other words, Democrat strongholds. How does this affect the recall? Lou talks with former State GOP Chair and Kevin Faulconer’s Senior Advisor, Ron Nehring. And speaking of the election… the deadline to file has come and gone and your choices.
If you’ve got a kid, you may have some extra dough in your checking account thanks to the Federal Child Tax Credit, which the IRS started sending out today.

What will that money mean to you and your family? Plus, Los Angeles goes back to a mask mandate - is San Diego next?

The annual Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) took place this weekend in Dallas. A straw poll was done among Conservatives on who they want as the Presidential nominee… guess who won? And Fauci got booed, Caitlyn Jenner got heckled, and Governor Newsom’s team forgot to put a “D” next to his name.
President Joe Biden signed a series of Executive Orders today in an attempt to (what he called) “add competition back into capitalism.” Lou goes through them. On the surface, some look like no brainers, but like everything in government, there is a story behind the story. And, as you might have guessed, they will make things worse.
Have you heard of fat shaming? Now it's vax shaming! A San Diego County Supervisor is vax-shaming a San Diego Padre over not getting vaccinated… Lou asks if this is cool or uncool? Lou talks with Justin Hart, data expert and Covid response critic about all of it.
The race to recall Governor Newsom adds Kevin Kiley. What impact does that have on the other top candidates - specifically Kevin Faulconer? Lou talks with the Chair of the San Diego County Republican Party, Paula Whitsell. And Governor Newsom’s reaction to all of this is to play hazel. Plus, President Biden is knocking on your door because he wants to vaccinate you.
A new poll shows that only 38 percent of voters say they are more proud to be American today than last year - that's not good for the party in charge! But the never-Trumper’s say it’s the GOP’s fault. And why should Democrats be afraid of GOP dissatisfaction? Lou talks with Jeff Corless,
GOP campaign consultant about it.
If you are not already in traffic - you will be! According to an Automobile Club of Southern California survey, San Diego ranks as the number 2 destination for the Fourth of July holiday.

County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said yesterday that San Diego will not follow the lead of Los Angeles, so you will not have to wear a mask if you are fully vaccinated in the face of the Delta Variant.

And former President Trump was in Texas looking at the crisis at the border and he was on fire with his words! Lou tells you what he had to say!
Governor Newsom has signed legislation to expedite a vote by ending the legislature’s financial review period. That shaves time off the process and likely sets up a September vote. Republicans are calling the move everything from political to corrupt. Is it legal? Is it fair? Lou talks with State Assemblyman Vince Fong about the recall. And why is Newsom suing his newly hired Secretary of State Shirley Weber?
