I sat down with Joel Kotkin to discuss how California’s utopian ideology and Gavin Newsom's disastrous governance have the turned the state into a cautionary tale.

Joel breaks down how one-party rule became the norm in California, with the Democratic Party tying itself to both Silicon Valley oligarchs and public sector unions and leaving the middle class to fend for itself.

With welfare fraud scandals in the news and Newsom's likely 2028 presidential run, Joel warns America about what's at stake if California's institutional and cultural failures go national.
