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 [http://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 SHUTDOWN Reporting 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?
