In this second half of a two-part interview, Matt and I discuss the current political situation in the United States, including the rising fascist threat in America, the failure of Joe Biden to meet this threat, how an independent California would move away from American imperialism, and how we can craft a message for California independence that appeals to the masses.\n\nThis interview was recorded on January 17, 2022.\n\nMUSIC CREDITS:\n1. \"Sexy Sneaky Cool Groove\", by PhilLarson; elements.envato.com\n2. \"Vastness\", by Andrew Ev; https://mixkit.co/\n\nIMAGE CREDIT:\nMatt Owen, used with permission"}
