and talking to Hitler. No that's not why. No because no not that guy not Elie Wiesel. There's some other guy so he looks like a more like one of those mushroom balls. So I'm talking about the paintbrush hair not the mushroom ball anyway.

So I'm amazed at Democrats to look at something as obvious as this and decide that it's the funeral rituals that explain everything. The funeral ritual? Nope. Can I be clear about this? I would not attend a funeral for somebody who is not related to me and wasn't my best friend under any condition if I were going to be sitting next to and chatting with Hitler. That's just me. No. If he really if any of the things they said about him were true they would not have attended or they would have disinvited made sure that the Hitler got disinvited. The whole thing was always a lie and MSNBC is the biggest purveyor of it.

Well in surprising but maybe not so much news the LA Times owner has invited Marc Andreessen to be on his board. So you might know that the LA Times newish owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong decided not to endorse Kamala Harris and then people said whoa whoa are you not as Democrat as we thought? You're not as lefty as we thought? Well he did vote for Kamala Harris so the owner of the LA Times voted for her but he didn't endorse her because he didn't want the newspaper to be just a biased entity. So he got tons of hate for that because he was trying to be middle of the road.

But inviting Marc Andreessen to be on your board of your newspaper that sends a whole different message. Do you know what message that sends? That he's going to turn Republican? Nope. Nope. That he just wants to put on some window dressing so it looks like he's seeing both sides? Nope. I think he wants a common sense guy. I think Marc Andreessen is sort of the ultimate common sense guy. If you listen to him you can use your imagination to like well see Republican because you can almost hear it but you can't. Like I don't know if he's Republican. I don't know what he is. But I can tell you that every time he talks it makes sense. He goes for the things that are common sense not the philosophy not the weird stuff not the stuff that's clearly going to be here with us and then go away but like real permanent logical rational stuff. Yeah he'd be great. I would rather him be the governor of California. If I had a Marc Andreessen governor of California big yes. Big yes. Shellenberger yes yes. Yeah I can name a few other names but yeah there's some people that I'd like to see get that job and Andreessen would be right in my shortest list at the top.

So that's good. That seems like the Trump effect in the sense that I don't think the LA Times could do what we're seeing meaning the owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. I don't think he could do it without that Trump effect being just what it is where everybody's got a little freedom to say what they want.

All right. Here's the thing you need to know about we Californians. It kind of sneaks up on you so you don't realize it until it's done but we don't really have the right to own homes in California because there's a thing called property tax and if you don't pay your property tax they'll take your home. So you don't really own a home if you're paying somebody else to live in it. That's not ownership. But then you say to me well but Scott if you sell it you get to keep the money. How am I going to sell my home? Who would buy anything in California at the moment? So I can't sell it and I don't own it. But well okay you know when I die I can leave it to my heirs. Do you know what would be left of my net wealth after state and federal taxes and death taxes? Nothing. Well it's not nothing but it'd be like less than half. So no we're basically living in a DEI-managed racist hellscape.

And here's the other problem. People keep saying and I just said it a moment ago we keep saying that all we need is to get capable and competent people in the top jobs and then everything will be okay. There's no mechanism for that to happen if the Democrats have as much control over the system as it looks like. You can't get any competent people in office. It's all going to be DEI incompetence and there's nothing that's going to change that. You haven't seen a single thing from anything official like in the government where they would say you know what maybe California should pull back from DEI.

And let me say something. I hate to help him but on the other hand it would be good. The most unlikely thing I could imagine is Governor Newsom saying I'd like to make DEI illegal in California. Now you're going to say to yourself there's no freaking way that's going to happen. You know the potential guy who might run for president as a Democrat is going to do you think he's going to disown the single most important thing that Democrats do? Well here's the thing. No matter how much you love or hate Gavin Newsom even the people who don't like him seem to say
