National Review's Radio Free California Podcast

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.]
Indispensable

A weekly chronicle of the legislative and gubernatorial stupidity that characterizes the formerly Golden State. From Cali defaulting on Covid loans to the tender care given squatters and the undocumented, to Newsom’s annual math-challenged budget shenanigans and municipal clowns (Oakland in particular), you need to know this stuff. I am constantly chagrined by my neighbors’ profound ignorance of what’s going on where they live (“Why is my natural gas bill doubling?” “Did you hear what happened at the homeless encampment?” etc.), so I recommend both this podcast and the California Policy Center website. Awesome punditry, but these two totally overrate USC.
Alternate Thinking on Public School closures
Feb 5
With regard to the drama of closing down the public school in Pacific Palisades it seems like the perfect time to close the school and give 100% of the operating budget to parents so they can send their kids to private parochial charter and alternate certified schools in the greater area. And how can citizen and parents be sure this alleged polluted ash has not blown into other public schools in LA? Best to close down the public schools and allow parents to seek alternate education resources for their kids. It’s not like they are the public schools get the best results for students !
Thanks

I have become a David Bahnsen groupie! This man is amazing, his websites are so phenomenally helpful! Hard to believe he runs a company too! Anyway, thank you so much for your Bill-o-Rama Prop-o-Rama broadcasts. I have forwarded them onto my other California buddies who never get any explanations as to the ridiculous things we are called upon to vote for. Not to mention learned so much about how bills get introduced into the legislature. Surprised and Distressing. May I add that? I so love California, so I really appreciate the info. I glean on this podcast. Thanks again. Cecile DeOrnellas
