In this episode, former Toys ‘R Us CEO Gerald Storch explains why leading a company in California makes no economic sense, citing sky-high taxes and business-unfriendly policies. Susan Shelley joins to break down the rejection of Scott Wiener’s climate lawsuit bill and his controversial push for car-free apartment buildings in a city without proper transit. Plus, a look at the federal investigation into L.A.'s homeless task force mess of "funding". Steve Hilton and Michael Shellenberger dive into the broader dysfunction, from housing failures to why Governor Gavin Newsom hasn’t done more.

Steve also has an accounting announcement in this episode, that you do not want to miss!

This is an exciting episode packed with great guests to discuss the ever-growing corruption of California politicians and Gavin Newsom’s camp. Susan Crabtree and Jedd McFatter wrote “Fool’s Gold” on exactly that topic, including Gavin Newsom’s close relationship with Chinese criminals and the CCP. Brian Reisinger, author of Land Rich Cash Poor, joins me to discuss the crisis of the war on family farming in California. Our agriculture and our farmers in the Golden State are religiously under attack, and Brian gives us more insight into the realities of these attacks.

In celebration of my newest book releasing today, Califailure: Reversing the Ruin of California, I have on some amazing guests to discuss the failures and the future of the Golden State. Larry Elder discusses his experience during his run for California Governor during the Gavin Newsom recall election, and the Mayor Karen Bass recall efforts. I am also joined by Lahnee Chen to unpack more Califailures, including California’s economy.
