Newsom Agonistes

In a single week, California Governor Gavin Newsom lost federal support for the troubled California High Speed Rail project, declared an unwinnable war to redraw California’s voting map, and confronted the worst unemployment numbers in the nation. David and Will track the name “California” to a Spanish novel, published this month in 1510. Bonus! Republican candidate for governor Steve Hilton describes his strategy for breaking through California’s blue wall of noise. Music by Metalachi.
