Show Notes
John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dig into California's SB 106 — a freshly signed bill giving Planned Parenthood's seven California affiliates a $90 million no-strings-attached giveaway, on top of the $140 million they already received in October. They break down why this is less about healthcare and more about political backscratching: Planned Parenthood championed Prop 50's redistricting initiative, whose new maps were drawn by Paul Mitchell — who happens to be married to Jody Hicks, CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. The guys also point out the glaring irony that the one Planned Parenthood service unaffected by the federal Medicaid cutoff is abortion — the very thing California is racing to protect with state dollars. The episode closes with a sharp analysis of Gavin Newsom's press conference signing ceremony, where his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom visibly mocked female journalists for asking tough questions about high-speed rail, the Capitol annex cost overruns, and the LA fires — rather than lobbing softballs about abortion. John and Jonathan argue Newsom isn't doing this for women's health; he's auditioning to be the Planned Parenthood candidate for 2028. The show wraps with event announcements: Golf for Life on April 27, 40 Days for Life underway, and the California March for Life on March 16.
