The California Syndrome

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

We still can't help but wonder what happened to California; and today's guest has not only been writing about it for years, but is running for governor in hopes of administering a cure. Michael Shellenberger is confident he can take on Gavin Newsom and restore the Golden State to health. (Visit here to donate to his campaign!) He talks about his vision, the growing support he's receiving, and the big victory for eco-modernists at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant.

Then Steven Hayward, who's filling in for Peter, switches from host to the guest chair to talk about his new biography, M. Stanton Evans: Conservative Wit, Apostle of Freedom. The guys also talk about the 70s, and the movies that inspired a lotta lunacy.

And be sure to join Ricochet today so you can meet Rob and James in New York City!

Music from this week's podcast: Placebo Syndrome by Parliament

Hosted by James Lileks, Rob Long, and Steve Hayward, with guest Michael Shellenberger

    If James is going to be part of the "bar crawl," that should be added to the on-site promos.

    Excuse me, has the People's Republic of California built a new water project since the 1970s?

    If I had Never Trumpers and people who got Chesa Boudin elected on my "support team," I would be thinking that I'm being set up as a patsy.

    Infrastructure? California don’t need no stinkin’ infrastructure!

    They depend on other states to do all the things for them, that they don't feel like doing for themselves.

    Screw 'em.

Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
