The Escalating War of Words Between President Trump and Governor Newsom | In Sending in the Marines Against Protesters in LA, is Trump Stoking a Possible Civil War? | Trump Offers Up His Tesla For $69, Trashing His Former Best Buddy and Biggest Donor Who Bought Him the Presidency

Michael Hiltzik, the author of "Golden State: The Making of California," examines five centuries from the Spanish conquistadors to Silicon Valley, challenging the enduring mythology that has shaped both California and America. Rather than offer another celebration of the California dream, Hiltzik reveals how the state has served as America's testing ground — where national ideals about opportunity, innovation, and reinvention were both realized and betrayed. The state's true history, he argues, provides essential insights into America's character and future.

After embarrassing the Trump administration and the Department of Defense multiple times with the careless treatment of America's most sensitive secrets, there are reports that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is being replaced.

California has long reigned as the land of plenty, a place where the sun always shines and opportunity always beckons. Even prior to its statehood in 1850, it captured the world's imagination. We think of bearded prospectors lured by the promise of gold. We imagine its early embrace of immigrant labor during the railroad boom as prologue to its diverse social fabric today. But what lies underneath the myths is far more complicated. Thanks to his extensive research, Michael Hiltzik uncovers the unvarnished truth about the state we think we know well. From the Spanish incursions into what became known as Alta California to the rise of Big Tech, the history of California is one of stark contradictions. In rich, previously overlooked detail, we see its earliest statesmen wreaking havoc among native peoples while racing to draft their own constitution prior to statehood. And gold-hungry settlers venturing into the Sierra foothills only to leave with little, while a handful of their suppliers turn themselves into millionaire railroad magnates. Wars erupted over water as Los Angeles boomed, and early efforts to tame the vast landscape created a haven for fossil fuel extraction and environmental conservation alike. Hollywood politicians stoked fears, contributing to a centuries-long tradition of anti-Asian violence. And, quite remarkably, both legal redlining and free higher education took root at the same time. Hiltzik brings a fresh critical eye to his historical accounts—from the Spanish conquistadors to the Gold Rush to the state's meteoric rise as a tech powerhouse and bulwark of progressivism—demonstrating why California has left an indelible mark on the United States and the world.

Today, Trump‘s high tariffs against Canada and Mexico will kick in. Trump insists they will help Americans but experts like billionaire investor Warren Buffett say tariffs are an “act of war to some degree.” CBS News asked Buffet whether tariffs will impact inflation and he said: "Over time, they are a tax on goods. I mean, the Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em! And then what? You always have to ask that question in economics. You always say, 'And then what?'"Meanwhile, America has a new crypto reserve and crypto markets are thriving under Trump. We'll talk to journalist Michael Hiltzik from the LA Times about what putting faith in crypto could mean for the economy. Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston will join us to talk politics.Tech Tuesday brings Jefferson Graham by the show to talk about Amazon‘s new Alexa+ and the new MacBook Air.The Mark Thompson Show 3/4/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 3, 2024 is: connive • kuh-NYVE • verb To connive is to secretly help someone do something dishonest or illegal. // Roger suspected that his coworkers were conniving to get him fired when in reality they were planning his surprise birthday party. See the entry > Examples: "The truth is that conflict on the river will never be stilled because there will always be more demand for the water than there is water. As I reported in 'Colossus,' my 2010 book about the building of Hoover Dam, [Herbert] Hoover and his deputy, Arthur Powell Davis, connived in 1922 to exaggerate the Colorado River's flow in order to persuade all seven states that it carried enough water to serve their interests, then and into the future." — Michael Hiltzik, The Los Angeles Times, 8 Feb. 2023 Did you know? Connive may not seem like a term that would raise many hackles, but it certainly raised those of Wilson Follett, a usage critic who lamented that the word "was undone during the Second World War, when restless spirits felt the need of a new synonym for plotting, bribing, spying, conspiring, engineering a coup, preparing a secret attack." Follett thought connive should only mean "to wink at" or "to pretend ignorance." Those senses are closer to the Latin ancestor of the word: connive comes from the Latin verb connivēre, which means "to close the eyes" and which is descended from -nivēre, a form akin to the Latin verb nictare, meaning "to wink." But many English speakers disagreed, and the "conspire" sense is now the word's most widely used meaning.

Financial issues keep hitting Donald Trump this week. Powerful super PAC Future Forward is backing President Joe Biden with an unprecedented $250 million TV and digital advertising buy in battleground states. It's reportedly the single largest purchase of political advertising by an outside group in the history of American political campaigns. The court-appointed monitor overseeing Trump's businesses may be looking into a $48 Million Loan. It involves Trump and his Chicago Tower. Legal experts are seeing discrepancies that they say warrants a criminal investigation. John Rothmann will stop by to talk about it all. Pulitzer Prize Winning author and journalist, Michael Hiltzik here to discuss the recent layoffs at the LA times, the state of journalism and much more.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 15, 2023 is: chimera • kye-MEER-uh • noun In Greek mythology, Chimera is a fire-breathing monster that has a lion's head, a goat's body, and a snake's tail. In general contexts, chimera can refer to something (such as an aspiration) that exists only in the imagination and is not possible in reality. // The fantasy is a utopian chimera, but there are real improvements for the town that can be made. See the entry > Examples: “For years, consumer advocates maintained that giving subscribers a la carte options from cable menus instead of the one-size-fits-all model would save people money. Alas, this nirvana has proved to be a chimera. Streaming channels have peeled off from cable lineups and established their own individualized subscription services, with the result that what used to be bundled together in premium tiers are now separate charges.” — Michael Hiltzik, The Los Angeles Times, 17 Apr. 2023 Did you know? “In head and shoulders, she was like a lion, / in back and tail, a snake, and in the middle, / a she-goat, and she breathed a dreadful blast / of blazing fire.” So did Homer describe the fearsome Chimera in The Iliad (as translated by scholar Emily Wilson in 2023). The Chimera terrorized the people of Lycia until slain by the hero Bellerophon, but the beast lived on in people's imaginations, and English speakers adopted her name for any monster similarly composed of the parts of different animals. Later, chimera took on another meaning that is common in today's lexicon: “an illusion of the mind, especially an unrealized dream.” This sense of chimera is often used to refer to a fantasy or delusion.

Democrats took some wins yesterday in key elections around the country. Notably, voters approved an Ohio ballot measure to lock abortion rights into the state constitution. It looks like they've legalized recreational marijuana too. Kentucky voters are keeping Democratic Governor Andy Beshear and Democrats collected seats in the Virginia legislature. Republicans did win in Mississippi, where Governor Tate Reeves will stay on. Is that an indicator of where the 2024 Presidential election is headed? We will talk to John Rothmann about it. Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX is facing 115 years in prison when he's sentenced in March. He was convicted of all seven counts against him in a fraud trial. Does this send a message to the cryptocurrency industry or is this basic fraud that could have happened in any sector? Michael Hiltzik with the LA Times will unravel it.

You're listening to Lingo Phoenix's word of the day for September 16. Guacamole Day Today's word is plaything, spelled p-l-a-y-t-h-i-n-g. plaything /ˈpleɪˌθɪŋ/ noun [countable] formal a toy The best playthings teach kids that anything can become a source of adventure and inquiry. The trouble is, they treat their pets and playthings very badly. VCRs were once the expensive, high-tech playthings of the rich. Normal people went to space, not billionaires treating the cosmos as their personal plaything. — Jacob Silverman, The New Republic, 9 July 2021 someone that you use for your own amusement or advantage, without caring about them men who treat women as playthings We mustn't let the environment become the plaything of oil companies.

Flokksráð þurfi að bregðast við þeirri lægð sem flokkurinn hafi verið í. Forseti framkvæmdastjórnar Evrópusambandsins segir að líkur hafi aukist á að Bretar gangi úr ESB án samnings. Írar segja breytingar ekki koma til greina. Ráða þarf starfsfólk og breyta húsnæði áður en Landspítalinn hefur afeitrunarmeðferð fyrir börn í fíknivanda.

Skipulags- og samgönguráð Reykjavíkurborgar vill að hámarkshraði á Hringbraut vestan Sæmundargötu lækki í 40 kílómetra á klukkustund. Jafnframt eigi að ráðast í aðrar aðgerðir til að bæta öryggi gangandi vegfarenda og reiðhjólafólks. Lengra fréttaefni: Ég sakna einskis, segir kona sem býr í þrettán fermetra smáhýsi á hjólum. Hún vill koma upp sérstökum smáhýsagörðum. Spegillinn heldur í dag áfram umfjöllun sinni um fólk sem valið hefur óhefðbundnar leiðir til að koma þaki yfir höfuðið. Arnhildur Hálfdánardóttir ræðir við Valdísi Evu Hjaltadóttir sem býr í 13 fermetrum og Bergþóru Pálsdóttur sem býr í húsbíl.
