Trump order to restart CA oil pipeline sparks legal battle
We are learning more this week from California officials after the Trump administration invoked the Defense Production Act to order an oil company to restart shuttered offshore operations in the state. The Trump admin is arguing that the move is necessary to address oil supply disruption risks and reduce reliance on foreign crude. LiveNOW’s Mike Pache is speaking with FOX Senior National Correspondent, William La Jeunesse, who is out in Santa Barbara with reaction from California lawmakers like Gavin Newsom.
FOX Business has reported that Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently directed Sable Offshore Corp., an oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, to restore operations. This planned reopening is connected to the Santa Ynez Pipeline System off the coast of Santa Barbara, according to a statement from the Department of Energy (DOE).
Iran ATTACKS The Wrong U.S. Navy Ship – Big Mistake
On March 1st, 2026, Iran launched its most sophisticated naval attack in history against the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group — simultaneous drone swarms, fast attack boats, anti-ship missiles, and four Shahab-3 ballistic missiles, all timed to hit at once. This is the full tactical breakdown of how the USS Spruance and USS Michael Murphy fought off waves of Iranian Shahed drones and C-802 anti-ship missiles while the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. — the strike group's dedicated Aegis ballistic missile defense ship — quietly waited for the moment that actually mattered. We break down every weapons system involved: the Phalanx CIWS, the SM-2 intercept chain, the SM-3 Block IIA kinetic intercept vehicle that had to physically collide with a maneuvering reentry vehicle above the atmosphere, and the F/A-18 counterstrike that used Iran's own missile exhaust plumes as a return address. Operation Epic Fury just got personal — and the US Navy answered in the only language that works out here
EXPOSED: Trump & Russia Point to the Same Enemy — Britain's Empire Is Finished
Today's Monday Brief with Susan Kokinda argues that while media attention fixates on Iran, a broader strategic shift is unfolding as great powers act in their own sovereign interests. It highlights President Trump’s statements portraying Putin as willing to make a deal and Zelenskyy as the obstacle, alongside Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth stressing that U.S. objectives in Iran differ from Israel’s, including a reported message to stop striking domestic economic targets. It then examines Russia’s Foreign Ministry explicitly blaming Britain for using Storm Shadow missiles in Bryansk and for trying to derail U.S.-led peace efforts, amid Zelenskyy’s threat toward Hungary’s Viktor Orban and EU condemnation. Finally, it notes Russia and China abstaining—not vetoing—a UN Security Council resolution condemning Iran’s missile and drone attacks on Gulf states, framing these moves as evidence the old paradigm of permanent conflict is breaking down.
Alert: New Gun Law Takes Effect In Less Than Two Weeks
This video warns California residents about a new gun law stemming from AB1078 that takes effect on April 1st (1:05, 4:51). The law reintroduces a rights rationing scheme, limiting purchases to only three firearms per month (2:58, 4:51).
Key Points:
Rights Rationing Returns: Following a previous court ruling that struck down the one-per-month limit, California is enforcing this new restriction to limit how often citizens can exercise their rights (3:30-4:14, 4:55).
Impact on Parts: The law explicitly includes precursor parts in this monthly limit (3:13). If you purchase a firearm and two precursor parts, you have reached your limit for the month (3:15-3:27).
Pending Legal Challenges: The narrator predicts immediate lawsuits, arguing that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has already ruled that rights rationing of any kind is unconstitutional (5:37-5:52).
Spillover Effect: The video highlights that California's restrictive laws often serve as models for other states like Virginia and Minnesota (2:09-2:28).
$190 BiILLION STOLEN — .And they know who did it!!
This video alleges massive, systemic fraud in California, totaling approximately $190 billion, and discusses a newly established federal task force led by JD Vance to investigate it (0:00-0:19). The narrator highlights several specific areas of corruption:
Medicaid Fraud: A staggering $19 billion in documented fraud is claimed in Minnesota, with claims that California is 10 times worse (0:41-1:09). A specific example is cited of 81 fake hospices registered in a single Los Angeles building, constituting 31% of all hospices in the US despite LA having only 2% of aging seniors (2:03-3:15). Investigations found these to be sham companies with no actual patients (4:06-5:27).
Unemployment Fraud: Under Governor Gavin Newsom, $30 billion was reportedly paid out fraudulently to prisoners, dead people, and international criminal rings (6:59-7:25). California currently owes the federal government $20 billion in loans resulting from this disaster (7:28-7:40).
Homeless Housing Waste: $20 million was spent to house only 32 people in a former hotel, with the project remaining unfinished for four years (8:08-9:11). The narrator suggests this is part of a money laundering operation involving campaign contributors (9:57-10:00).
High-Speed Rail: $36 billion has been spent without a single inch of operational track being laid (10:08-10:13).
The video concludes by claiming Newsom's former chief of staff was indicted for selling access and stealing funds, yet received a $50,000 severance package from taxpayer money (10:39-11:24). The narrator argues this investigation is politically motivated by the 2028 presidential aspirations of both Vance and Newsom (13:03-14:15).
Eric Swalwell Won't Be Disqualified from CA Gov Race!
This video from Reform California discusses a legal complaint filed against Representative Eric Swalwell, alleging that he is not a legal resident of California and is therefore ineligible to run for governor (0:00). While the speaker, Carl DeMaio, presents evidence suggesting Swalwell primarily resides on the East Coast—citing mortgage applications and a suspicious rental arrangement in California—he argues that Swalwell will likely not be disqualified (1:53).
Key takeaways regarding the legal situation:
California Election Code sections 2020-2035 contain loopholes that protect incumbents (9:59).
Specifically, section 2026 allows representatives to be "conclusively presumed" to be residents based on their voter registration address, even if they spend most of their time elsewhere (12:04).
DeMaio concludes that voters must defeat Swalwell at the polls rather than relying on legal disqualification (0:24).
Campaign updates and endorsements:
The video highlights the competitive nature of the governor's race, with Swalwell neck-and-neck with other candidates in the polls (4:56).
Swalwell recently won the endorsement of the powerful labor union SEIU (15:50).
They Take 38% — Red vs Blue Difference
This video breaks down the financial disparity between red states (like Texas and Florida) and blue states (specifically California), arguing that high taxes and regulations in blue states are driving a middle-class exodus. The host, Ramin, highlights that while red states are cutting taxes to attract business, California is raising them, creating a hostile economic environment for average residents.
Key Takeaways
Total Tax Burden: In California, a middle-class worker can lose up to 38% of their paycheck to combined federal, state, and payroll taxes before they even receive it (1:22).
State Income Tax: California has the nation's highest state income tax (13.3% at the top rate), while states like Texas, Florida, and Nevada have 0% state income tax (1:54).
Gas Taxes: California has some of the highest gas taxes in the country. With fees and regulations, residents pay roughly 90 cents per gallon in government charges, costing the average family an extra $800 to $1,000 annually (3:43).
Migration Trends: Since 2010, 10 million people have left California, including 216,000 in 2025 alone, largely due to the cost of living and tax burden (6:47).
Economic Death Spiral: As high earners and businesses leave, the state loses revenue, leading to higher taxes on those who remain, which in turn causes more people to leave (8:00).
Budget Crisis: California is facing a $73 billion budget deficit, which the host calculates breaks down to about $5,000 per household (8:27).

"They K1LLED Him" Katt Williams EXPOSES How They Replaced Jim Carrey
The last time people laughed at Katt Williams, he was onstage talking about “big deviants” and warning that Diddy was going to pay a price for the things everybody in the industry pretended not to see. A year later, the raids hit, the “freakoffs” are in legal documents, and suddenly that crazy comedian doesn’t sound so crazy anymore. So when that same rumor pipeline turns its eyes to Jim Carrey, people pay attention. After exposing the industry time and again, he finally steps back, but the story takes a twisted turn. He reappears in France with a heavier face, a stranger energy, and eyes fans swear have literally changed color. Suddenly the same internet that laughed at Katt’s Illuminati rants is whispering that Jim Carrey, the guy who tried to expose the trick, might have been replaced so the industry can keep cashing out on his name while the real problem disappears. If Katt was right about Diddy, what does it mean that he’s now talking about big deviants, secret contracts, and an industry that can even kill its stars and still make money off them, at the exact moment fans are asking whether the Jim Carrey we just saw is really Jim at all?
