Episode 452: Trump Makes Newsom Great Again

Gavin Newsom wasted no time hitting the airwaves with news that the Trump DOJ is investigating the governor’s wife. We cheer Newsom’s work to kill the Billionaire Wealth Tax. Fareed Zacharia joins the growing number of liberals who worry that California is ruining the Democratic Party brand. In our Department of Vexillology, we celebrate the June 14, 1846, Bear Flag Revolt and consider protests against the San Francisco Giants’ Gay Pride Night. Bonus! Cal Policy Center president Jackson Reese answers a listener question. Music by Metalachi.
