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 417: Laundering Lunacy
    Nov 11 2025

    Following his big Prop 50 win last week, Governor Gavin Newsom hit the road, denouncing the Democrats’ deal to end the federal shutdown, accepting the thanks of worshipful Democrats in Houston, and appearing as the highest-ranking American representative at the U.N.’s climate talks in Brazil. In other news, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and OpenAI’s Sam Altman say they feel bad about making so much money, Santa Barbara County officials stand bravely athwart common sense and yell stop, and a federal judge orders AG Rob Bonta to explain himself on the state’s policies regarding gender fluidity in California schools. On this day in history, we remember the Rickenbackers of California -- the World War I flying ace and his guitar-making cousin. Music by Metalachi.

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
