Is California already past the point of no return?
Dennis returns to Digital Social Hour to break down what he believes is really happening inside California politics, the LA Republican Party, voter integrity, housing, small business, homelessness spending, and America First politics.
He explains why running for Congress in Adam Schiff’s old district has exposed him to a political machine most people never see. From internal GOP infighting to ballot harvesting allegations, California’s financial crisis, rising taxes, failing infrastructure, and the collapse of small business opportunity, Dennis argues the state is being hollowed out from the inside.
This conversation gets into the deeper fight happening inside both parties: establishment control vs. grassroots candidates, America First vs. foreign interests, and whether California can be saved before the middle class is pushed out completely.
Dennis also talks about Gavin Newsom, LA corruption, the homelessness industrial complex, his debates with Isaiah Martin, and why he believes the Republican Party is facing a major generational split over Israel, foreign aid, and what “America First” actually means.
