California’s Ballot Harvesting Machine... | DefNoodles | DSH #1974

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. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 California’s Political Machine 0:37 Running For Congress In Adam Schiff’s District 5:18 California’s One-Party Problem 8:33 Mail-In Ballots And Election Concerns 15:41 Why California Republicans Feel Defeated 17:11 LA Taxes, Decline, And Cost Of Living 21:19 The Fire Fallout And Malibu Rebuild Crisis 23:39 Why Small Businesses Can’t Survive LA 28:36 Is LA Becoming The Next Detroit? 48:49 Debates, Israel, And America First Politics 3. 🧠 What You’ll Learn 🗳️ Why Dennis says California elections are nearly impossible for outsiders to win fairly 🏛️ How internal GOP politics can hurt grassroots conservative candidates 💸 Why California’s taxes keep rising while basic services keep getting worse 🏚️ How fires, permits, and regulations are crushing homeowners in LA 🍸 Why opening a bar or restaurant in Los Angeles can cost hundreds of thousands before you make a dollar 🏙️ How zoning changes could reshape Glendale, Burbank, and LA neighborhoods 🧾 Why Dennis believes homelessness funding has become a political money loop 🎙️ What really happened in his debate with Isaiah Martin 🎙️ APPLY OR CONNECT 👉 Interested in being a guest?

  1. Dennis· Guest0:00

    My opponent, she has a massive ballot harvesting operation. Spends close to $250,000. That's just a team that goes out and collects ballots. California's running a deficit, a huge deficit. The state's insolvent. It's on the verge... It's actually burning through the reserves. Within the next year and a half to two years, the state will not have money to sustain itself. There's no accountability in the state. The state Supreme Court just kinda, like, waves it off because it's all run by Democrats, so they're just all protecting each other.

  2. Speaker 10:25

    Hm.

  3. Dennis· Guest0:25

    Israel's running our government by proxy. That's what I've been seeing. I think Trump's compromised.

  4. Speaker 10:30

    Okay, guys. Got Dennis on the show today, out here in Vegas. Suited up. Looking good, man.

  5. Dennis· Guest0:42

    How you doing, Sean? Good to see you.

  6. Speaker 10:43

    Good. Good to see you. How you been since AmFest? I haven't seen you in a few months.

  7. Dennis· Guest0:46

    Been great.

  8. Speaker 10:47

    Been busy.

  9. Dennis· Guest0:48

    Yeah, busy. Uh, I'm campaigning for Congress. I'm running for Congress in Adam Schiff's old district. That's, uh, Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, and Hollywood. Uh, it's been, it's been a, a learning experience and also a bit of a challenge.

  10. Speaker 11:02

    Yeah.

  11. Dennis· Guest1:02

    So I've, you know, I, I'm encountering a lot of things I didn't anticipate.

  12. Speaker 11:06

    Yeah, let's dive into some of those. What, what's been the biggest hurdle, I guess?

  13. Dennis· Guest1:09

    Uh, I would say the, the GOP itself has been, uh, an interesting hurdle. The, not the national GOP, just the LA GOP and to some extent the CAGOP. For those of you who don't know, that's the, the Los Angeles Republican Party and the California Republican Party.

  14. Speaker 11:28

    Yeah.

  15. Dennis· Guest1:28

    Um- A lot of infighting there,
