National Review’s Radio Free California Podcast
National Review’s Radio Free California podcast is a show about the perilous state of the Golden State — and what that means for you, wherever you live.
Minnesota and the Battle of Century City
In Minneapolis, Trump fell into a familiar provocation trap — one honed in California and built for TV politics.
In Minneapolis, Trump walked into a trap designed by California union activists and perfected in their bloody showdown with the Los Angeles Police Department in 1990: Provoke law enforcement into violent behavior, broadcast the images, and win political concessions. In other news: Trump uses his bully pulpit to beat up Newsom on gasoline prices and wildfire relief. The Atlantic concludes Newsom’s record of failed governance won’t work with a national audience. Bonus tracks! Lance Christensen reviews Newsom’s record of failure on K–12 education, and Edward Ring says the U.S. Drought Monitor’s California reports have been wrong for 25 years. Music by Metalachi.
