As goes California, so goes the nation—from a $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers to rampant homelessness, crime, and reparations—the recovering communist dissects examples of what’s happening in the Golden State and yet to come nationally.

The cure for what is ailing America today

The ideas and values in this podcast are so crucial to reviving what has been lost in America today. Mike is a no-nonsense guy and his guests are humble and factual. I will be recommending this podcast to everyone I know!
