We’re joined by U.S. Small Business Administrator and Trump Cabinet member Kelly Loeffler to discuss the Trump administration’s response to California’s crisis—and why they’re waiting on Governor Newsom to declare an emergency to provide relief to local businesses. We also touch on the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill.” Then, retired Associate Justice of the California Court of Appeal Dan M. Kolkey joins the show to explore the history of California’s prison system, how things unraveled, and what’s next. Wrapping it up, Patrick De Haan, Head of Petroleum Analysis at GasBuddy, breaks down why California is on track to hit a record-high $9 per gallon for gas.
