Newsom Is LYING About the Bullet Train!

About this episode

The episode discusses the failures of California's bullet train project and other related public transit issues, featuring insights from guest Susan Shelley.

California’s bullet train project has been a symbol of the state’s failed leadership ever since voters approved it in 2008. Now, nearly two decades later, the California High-Speed Rail Authority has released yet another overpriced, inefficient and possibly illegal business plan. With the project still clearly in shambles, why is Gavin Newsom claiming victory? Susan Shelley explains it all. She also breaks down the latest public transit debacle involving San Francisco’s BART system, Newsom’s struggling “CARE Court” homeless program, and the Local Taxpayer Protection Act to Save Proposition 13. And with Operation Epic Fury now underway, Steve shares his deeply personal reaction to President Trump’s attack on Iran and why it’s refreshing to see a president committed to restoring American deterrence.
