California was once the engine of the American dream — today, critics say it’s a warning sign for the West.

In this episode of The Liz Truss Show, Liz is joined by Steve Hilton, candidate for Governor of California, to break down the state’s economic decline, rising crime, housing crisis, and mass business exodus.

They explore how bureaucracy, regulation, and political ideology have shaped California’s trajectory — and why many believe the UK is heading down the same path.
