About this episode
In Minneapolis, Trump walked into a trap designed by California union activists and perfected in their bloody showdown with the Los Angeles Police Department in 1990: Provoke law enforcement into violent behavior, broadcast the images, and win political concessions. In other news: Trump uses his bully pulpit to beat up Newsom on gasoline prices and wildfire relief. The Atlantic concludes Newsom’s record of failed governance won’t work with a national audience. Bonus tracks! Lance Christensen reviews Newsom’s record of failure on K–12 education, and Edward Ring says the U.S. Drought Monitor’s California reports have been wrong for 25 years.
