The 18-year DA of the county next door to the California State capitol, Reisig has been around to see a change in California's regards to crime… for the worse! He and Q talk about how crime has gotten worse and who is to blame - the years of politicians in Sacramento who have empowered non-profits in league with billionaires who want to fundamentally reshape California.
