Is California ready for independence? The CalExit movement is making the case again and it's stronger
Marcus Ruiz Evans has a bold vision for California. As the founder of CalExit, he's spent over a decade exploring and advocating for California's independence. Marcus and Greg discuss why California could—and perhaps should—be its own nation. Marcus lays out the cultural, economic, and political rationale behind the CalExit movement, debunks myths about its legality, and paints a vivid picture of how independence could dramatically transform California for the better.
Key topics include: ✔️ The cultural identity gap between California and the rest of the U.S. ✔️ California's role as a net exporter of tax dollars, subsidizing 35 other states. ✔️ Economic benefits of independence, from infrastructure to homelessness. ✔️ Legal realities of secession and what mainstream media gets wrong. ✔️ Why Marcus believes CalExit could prevent, rather than provoke, civil conflict.
Explore what California sovereignty could look like and why some believe it’s not only achievable but necessary.
