Restoring the California Dream One Bold Idea at a Time

It starts with understanding why California is in such a pickle to begin fixing the core problems of affordability, public saftely, over regulation, etc. State of Gold breaks downs these issues and puts leaders in the limelight, championing sensible reform. Also, Jon for governor!
This show is a refreshing change to the rhetoric we constantly hear in California. Jon is thoughtful and comprehensive in his approach. I love how he probes into the issues promoting an environment of accountability. Keep it coming!
There are a few episodes that I found pretty straightforward and informative. Unfortunately, this tends to lean heavily to a discomforting right. I was hoping for a more balanced and sensible viewpoint. Im not getting it….
I love this and must go elsewhere to listen. Apple is an anti California people company. Last iPhone I will ever own or Apple product.
I thought I was going to get both political sides but this show is very one sided. I guess it’s great for republicans but I’ve heard enough. I like to listen to conversations between people with solutions and not a bunch of finger pointing. This show could also be called State of Red.
