Besides discussing Nashville, Peter seriously compares California’s Wokeism to Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabism on the podcast and says, “You know, there’s always sort of a right-wing or libertarian critique of California that, you know, it’s such a ridiculous place.”

Furthermore, he started giving his point of view on California’s economy. Then, he went on to compare the liberal culture of California to Wahhabism – the rigid interpretation of Sunni Islam commonly observed in Saudi Arabia.

Additionally, Peter stated, “The rough model I have for how to think of California is that it’s kind of like Saudi Arabia and you have a crazy religion.”
