Mehr Coalition Purple

The Coalition Purple podcast (formerly Beer Money America) is a show about third party politics for normal people. Your hosts: -- Bill Hornung, a recovering Democrat who leans progressive yet is now a registered Independent. -- John Phipps, a former Libertarian who leans conservative... but also is now a registered Independent. We’re the podcast for anyone uninterested in today’s politics, but do care about the country! So our goal is to have fun, rational discussions focused on solutions... not name-calling and other foolishness found in today's two-party system.

Episode PIZZA REVOLT… THE SIGN OF CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMIC CRISIS Cover

PIZZA REVOLT… THE SIGN OF CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMIC CRISIS

It’s a new year but we have the same old problems here inCalifornia. We cannot get distracted by more sensational stories in places like Venezuela or even Minnesota.  Many major U.S. cities have huge deficits. (We’re talking toyou, San Diego.) Overregulation and oppressive taxation will not solve this problem. Besides, our tax base in California is quickly disappearing.  Most people have heard that the oil refineries are leavingbut apparently Leprino Foods, which supplies mozzarella cheese to all the major pizza companies in the U.S., is also leaving the state.  No pun intended but maybe a double crisis - pizza and gas -will be what it takes to get Californians to vote differently.  Let’s make 2026 the year we paint California purple!  #GOP [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/gop] #RNC [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/rnc] #DNC [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dnc] #independentvoters [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/independentvoters] #democrats [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/democrats] #republicans [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/republicans] #nolabels [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nolabels] #forwardparty [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/forwardparty] #coalitionpurple  @openprimariesorg#statespending #californiaeconomics

Episode ‘TIS THE SEASON TO BE KIND TO YOUR GRUMPY POLITCAL COUSINS Cover

‘TIS THE SEASON TO BE KIND TO YOUR GRUMPY POLITCAL COUSINS

Attack mode has become the norm for everyday discourse, and this can create situations where even friends and family are unable to listen to each other. Since we are in the middle of the holiday zone between Thanksgiving and the New Year we want to focus on what the holidays are supposed to be about.  Thanksgiving should remind us of all the reasons we have tobe thankful, and the rest of the season should be about peace and kindness. When we are with people who have forgotten this we can commit to being the oneswho bring joy to those around us. We suggest one of two strategies for avoiding the status quothis holiday season. Instead of giving up alcohol for Dry December try taking a break from talking about politics. If that doesn’t work go to Plan B. When someone starts talking about divisive topics just state your views politely andengage respectfully with those who have opposing views.  We suspect most people just want to feel comfortable havinga conversation so you might be surprised at the results. And however things turn out you can be at peace and enjoy the holidays! #GOP [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/gop] #RNC [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/rnc] #DNC [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dnc] #independentvoters [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/independentvoters] #democrats [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/democrats] #republicans [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/republicans] #nolabels [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nolabels] #forwardparty [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/forwardparty] #coalitionpurple @openprimariesorg #holidayconversations #civildiscource #politcalphilanthropy

Episode POLITICAL HYPOCRISY HITS ALL-TIME HIGH Cover

POLITICAL HYPOCRISY HITS ALL-TIME HIGH

Government hypocrisy has reached new heights in America. California legislators want to save democracy by ignoring voter-approved constitutional amendments that prevent politicians from redrawing congressional district lines. They don’t seem to understand that democracy does not exist if the California Constitution is meaningless. Meanwhile politicians in Florida plan to end all vaccine mandates for children in the name of bodily autonomy. This seems a bit inconsistent with their views on abortion but maybe ideological consistency is not one of their values. It’s important to reassess our values and to question “established” science but this must be done in a thoughtful way. A “let’s break it and then fix it” approach is simply a recipe for disaster. We need more centrists in government who will bring reasonable approaches to problem solving. We are well overdue for a new political party that will commit to responsible governance. #GOP #RNC #DNC #independentvoters #democrats #republicans #nolabels #forwardparty #coalitionpurple @openprimariesorg #redistrict #gerrymander #vaccines #publichealth

Episode CAN HOLLYWOOD BE TURNED PURPLE? Cover

CAN HOLLYWOOD BE TURNED PURPLE?

This week we talk with Dick Lucas. He’s running forCalifornia State Assembly district 51 which includes Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Westwood and West L.A. He is our kind of candidate because he focuses on issuesthat matter like housing, homelessness, and the economy. And he’s doing it without any funding from outside sources. In fact, he’s going to see what one man can do with just ingenuity, digital technology, and love for the state ofCalifornia and its people. He tells us that most people he talks to don’t know whorepresents them in Sacramento. Like us, he is on a mission to change that.  Regardless of what happens in the next election, Dick Lucasis in it for the long haul. He’s committed to making positive change in our political system for the next 10 years. Check out the entire episode to hear his ideas about how we can all help to reform the system.  And subscribe to Dick's Instagram and YouTube channels at @dicklucas #GOP [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/gop] #RNC [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/rnc] #DNC [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dnc] #independentvoters [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/independentvoters] #democrats [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/democrats] #republicans [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/republicans] #nolabels [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nolabels] #forwardparty [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/forwardparty] #coalitionpurple @openprimariesorg #housingcrisis #californiapolitics #voterawareness #thirdpoliticalparty

Episode LEARN FROM THE AMISH WHEN IT COMES TO HEALTHCARE Cover

LEARN FROM THE AMISH WHEN IT COMES TO HEALTHCARE

Hey, what’s a non-political podcast these days without a discussion about California’s Prop 50 lawsuits, gerrymandering, and broader Constitutional concerns?  Digging deep, let’s face it that the two major political parties really aren’t about solving problems… but  exploiting structural problems like healthcare, immigration, and government shutdowns for their financial gain. John outlines a healthcare reform idea centered on individual health savings accounts and catastrophic insurance (oh, by the way, there is a community already doing this).  It’s going to take new creativity to solve the current insurance and political boondoggles that fuel division and dysfunction. Here’s an idea… let’s start by de-registering from the Democratic and Republican parties!
