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 409: The Week in California in a Single Sentence
    Sep 24 2025

    Gavin Newsom appeared with Stephen Colbert to celebrate Jimmy Kimmel’s return to ABC programming, even as the governor works to silence California’s conservative voters in a redistricting initiative that (polling shows) is headed toward a slim victory on November 4 -- and despite Princeton University’s conclusion that the new electoral map earns Newsom an “F.” In other news, Will talks about the surprising origins of ABC’s 1950s deal to fund the construction of Disneyland in exchange for content, including Mickey Mouse Club and Wonderful World of Disney.

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
