About National Review's Radio Free California Podcast
A show about the perilous state of the Golden State—and what that means for you, wherever you live. California is the hothouse lab of the Left, the nation-state creating the statist policies, art, and lifestyles of the future – and generating the political dollars to make them a reality in a community near you. Hosts Will Swaim (California Policy Center) and David Bahnsen (The Bahnsen Group, Fox Business News commentator, conservative activist) beam this weekly show internationally, from mostly undisclosed pirate-radio platforms west of the Sierra Nevada. [Intro music graciously provided by Los Angeles-based Metalachi, the metal/mariachi soundtrack of the near-future. Find them at Metalachi.com.]

And on the extreme tails of this, it's A Luddite-ism on one end that is essentially, I'm so afraid of technology and what it means. In some cases, it isn't the robots will get out of control and destroy humanity. There's just going to be a lot of efficiencies created that ruin jobs. It's protectionism. So I would separate the category of apocalyptic forecast from one another. Are we talking about bioterrorism, self-reinforcing cybersecurity threats, the bots from OpenAI that went and attacked Hugging Face more recently? […]
