## Resource

In this episode, I examine the Iran ceasefire debacle as I go over the actions and events that lead to the breakdown. AG Pam Bondi was fired, and I discuss some of the reasons and offer my opinion on the situation. I then turn my attention Gavin Newsome and the California High Speed Rail Project that has yet to be completed since its stat date back in 2008. The High Speed Rail Project now faces a $90 billion spending gap and an overall cost of $126 billion after 18 years of ongoing politics, bureaucracy, and alleged fraud.
