California ratchets up the insanity as Governor Gavin Newsom inches toward a presidential run,

the media panic over Governor Rhonda Sanchez's conservative actions in Florida,

and the DOJ moves to break up Google's ad monopoly.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

All righty, over in California, the place I left, things don't seem to be getting much better any time soon.

Now, one of the reasons I left California, many of the reasons I left California are implicit in the news that comes out of the place absolutely daily.

I left California for Florida, so I am biased in this matter.

But it appears to me on a national level, one of the things that we are going to be deciding in the very near future is whether California is the future

of the United States or whether Florida is the future of the United States. And these futures look

unbelievably different. In California, the solution for every single problem is more government.

It is more government. It is more government interventionism. It is more encroachment

upon your economic rights. It is more left- It is more government interventionism. It is more encroachment upon your

economic rights. It is more left-wing indoctrination of your children. That is always the answer.

And in Florida, the answer seems to be more local control, more leaving parents to their own devices,

more of the state allowing you to bring up your children in the way that is traditionally fit

in the United States. And this is the real gap that is emerging in American public life.

This is why the solution in the end may be that California is going to get to be California

and Florida is going to get to be Florida and federalism rules the day. But until that point,

the incipient conflict that is building up at a national level is whether the entire nation is going to move more toward Florida or whether it is going to move more toward California.

So we begin in California. In California, there have been two mass shootings over the course

of the last 72 hours. There's another mass shooting in Half Moon Bay, apparently, over the course

of last 48. The Washington Post reports, the suspect accused of killing seven people at at two farms was believed to be a co-worker of the victims, officials that said on Tuesday, describing the attack as workplace of violence.
