I am getting caught up on my podcast listening and I am so glad I listened to this podcast! Wow! I often cheer and applaud when Victor mentions California, and what is going on here! Thank you SO much for speaking up for us Victor! And…Wow! Lee Ohanian, thank you SO much for your interview and everything that you said. It was fascinating and you are such a good speaker on the subject- please have him back Victor, Jack and Sami. I live in Fresno which is between Bakersfield and Merced right next to the high speed rail! What a JOKE! Fix our roads and highways instead. Driving on the roads is like living in a third world country around here! I was born and raised in California and I love my state. I especially love what it once was, and I pray that we can save it from going further down the rabbit hole. I still can’t believe that Gavin made it through the two recalls ( it had to have been fixed!) Every time I go out in my car I pray for protection as there is usually about 1-3 episodes of dealing with foreign drivers who don’t follow our driving laws. When I go to Costco I feel like I am on the It’s a Small World ride at Disneyland-complete with full costume. I could go on, as I wish this interview didn’t stop when it did. I will definitely be looking up the website- Thanks again!
