David treads all over Will’s sprawling runlist for an off-the-top-of-the-noggin conversation about the devolution of California. When they return to script, the pair consider the 1923 IWW strike at the Port of San Pedro, Barbara Lee’s U.S. Senate campaign, Larry Elder’s presidential campaign, Gavin Newsom’s war on fentanyl, and one newspaper’s predictably bad analysis of how to fix San Francisco. Bonus! Cal Policy Center VP of ed policy and government affairs Lance Christensen talks with Will about daily life inside the state Capitol. Music by Metalachi.
