  • Summary

  • 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.]

Informative & So Very Appreciated

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!
