He expressed heartbreak over California’s decline, noting his wife’s Southern California roots and his own frequent visits that revealed deepening inequality. While praising LA’s beauty and weather, he questioned how a once-proud American city could tolerate such stark poverty — even suggesting the cost of a U-Haul truck might signal a state’s health. Joe Rogan joined the critique, blaming politics for the state’s decay, especially the alarming expansion of Skid Row’s homeless crisis and crime. Their shared concern underscores a growing unease about LA’s transformation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
