California’s government can’t agree on how much it has overspent: $68 billion, $38 billion, or $100 billion. What’s the difference? It's only money. On top of that, the California Democrats want to introduce a wealth tax. What could possibly go wrong? We have that and more. Joining us from Orange County, California, is Jeff Bliss, a senior correspondent at California Flow Magazine, a regular contributor on John Batchelor's CBS radio show Eye on the World, and heard on many other radio stations across California.

For the last two years, Horsfall has chronicled the Russia-Ukraine war and recently published a book on the conflict titled "Slava Ukraine Who Dares Shares."


In this show, he puts forward the case that the Western powers must continue to support Ukraine and ensure that Russia doesn't win. Failure to do so would likely be awful. We also discuss the risks of one particular candidate winning the U.S. presidency later this year. Plus, he names some favorite authors and proffers advice for aspiring writers.
