They discuss themes from Hilton’s new book CALIFAILURE, exploring how progressive policies and bureaucratic bloat have contributed to the state’s decline. The conversation spans everything from housing crises and public safety to media narratives and economic flight. Adam and Steve share a candid, solutions-focused conversation about restoring accountability in government and why California—once a model of prosperity—is now in desperate need of reform.In the news; John Oliver, who’s being sued by a health insurance executive claiming that a Medicaid monologue on HBO’s Last Week Tonight destroyed his reputation.
