| 0:00.0 | Be invenitos, that's California for welcome to the March 11th edition of National Reviews, Radio Free California Podcast. |
| 0:19.2 | I'm Will Swam, CEO of the California Policy Center. |
| 0:22.1 | You can find my colleagues and me at California Policy Center.org. David Bonson is traveling |
| 0:27.2 | this week. Will O'Neill has taken the chair in the Radio Free California World Headquarters. |
| 0:31.8 | The other will is an attorney. He's chairman of the Orange County Republican Party and former mayor of the city of Newport Beach. |
| 0:41.3 | Born in Fresno, I hope I've got all this right. We were just running through his genealogy. Born in Fresno, attended Stanford University, earned a law degree at the UC Hastings College of Law. |
| 0:47.3 | Hello, other will. |
| 0:49.3 | Thank you, Will. Actually, I have one indulgent to ask. |
| 0:51.3 | Please. |
| 0:52.3 | So every time, it seems like Dave Bonson, make sure he talks about USC football. Yes. And I think people would really miss talking about college football. So I would like just one second to tell you how Stanford football is doing. Is that okay? I would love it. Please. They're very bad. All right.

| 1:34.2 | band. And there's also a, like a cheer squad, but it's not cheerleaders. They have a name for |
| 1:40.4 | The Dollies. The Dollies. Yep. Yeah. Tell us about the dollies. I don't know much about them. |
| 1:46.1 | They are associated with the band. |
| 1:48.1 | So that's why the band for folks who have ever seen the Stanford band, you do not forget the Stanford band. |
| 1:53.6 | Right. |
| 1:54.1 | They are very, they're always under kind of the double secret probation that the campus has a part of it. But that is a long-standing |
| 2:03.1 | tradition. There are a lot of alums that are part of it. My understanding is that the dollies are |
