A show about the perilous state of the Golden State—and what that means for you, wherever you live. California is the hothouse lab of the Left, the nation-state creating the statist policies, art, and lifestyles of the future – and generating the political dollars to make them a reality in a community near you. Hosts Will Swaim (California Policy Center) and David Bahnsen (The Bahnsen Group, Fox Business News commentator, conservative activist) beam this weekly show internationally, from mostly undisclosed pirate-radio platforms west of the Sierra Nevada. [Intro music graciously provided by Los Angeles-based Metalachi, the metal/mariachi soundtrack of the near-future. Find them at Metalachi.com.]National Review Ciencia Política Política y Gobierno

    Episode 402: Torch the Los Angeles Olympics
    Aug 14 2025

    A city that can’t manage its own affairs was always bound for trouble in hosting the 2028 Olympics, and now President Trump has given progressives the excuse they need to bail out. California’s redistricting process was never nonpartisan, now it’ll just be worse. Newsom is ready for coal, Sacramento State’s president hopes to “eliminate whiteness,” the Los Angeles Times can’t use the words “illegal immigrant,” and the fascinating secret of Pasadena-born celebrity chef Julia Child.

This podcast is not only informative and inspiring, but quite often very funny. The back and forth between Will & David, as well as their deep, mutual respect and obvious friendship is refreshing. I so appreciate the fact that they are still fighting for the soul of California when so many have given up and thrown in the towel. They help me stay informed and think critically about events and lawmaking. And of course, there's always "Kamala Corner" and "On this day in history, John Sutter..." to look forward to.

keep up the great work, gents!

Informative & So Very Appreciated
