| 0:00.0 | Bienvenitos. That's California for welcome to the September 24th edition of National Reviews Radio Free California Podcast. |
| 0:19.4 | I'm Will Swain, President of the California Policy Center. You can find my colleagues and me at California PolicyCenter.org. You can find my friend and co-host David Bonson right here. He's an economist, the host of the Capital Record podcast, author of the book, full-time work and the meaning of life. And of course, he's founder of the eponymous investment firm, the Bonson Group. Hello, David. Hello, Will. How are you, sir? Thank God for the slow news cycle. |
| 0:43.5 | You and I were just discussing that, you know, some of our, you know, some people we have really, |
| 0:49.1 | we've collided with on this Jimmy Kimmel issue. And can report on this because in fact Jimmy Kimmel |
