Cerritos, CA USA!

Today is the GREATEST DAY of the year!

I will be heading over to the Cerritos Civic Center later tonight to take part in the 38th Annual Let Freedom Ring Celebration. Let Freedom Ring started in my kitchen some 39 years ago. My mom Rosemary Economy and a group of our neighbors decided that our city needed our very own Fourth of July Celebration here in Cerritos, since we were a new and growing community.

Do you remember those early days of "Let Freedom Ring," here in Cerritos? The fireworks in the cow pasture? Man, those cows didn't give milk for days after that first big show. The BBQ Corn on the Cob by the Boy Scouts, and the Pancake Breakfast. We honored local Prisoners of War from the Vietnam War, and our I got to help plant the "Freedom Tree" at Cerritos Park East back then.

Today, is the 4th of July. The biggest ALL AMERICAN DAY of the YEAR!

Last night, we watched the mega celebration from Washington, DC on PBS. The song clip I posted is "Let Freedom Ring," composed and performed by the legendary Barry Manilow. Believe it or not, Barry was my next door neighbor in Bel Air, CA more than 20 years ago. Fun times!

Happy Birthday America!

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
