Checkpoint California
001 The State of the State
<p>Sean and Charles discuss relations between California and DC and introduce long term solutions.</p>

Loading…

Checkpoint California is a weekly conversation about the future of the Golden State. Hosted by Sean Forbes, Chair of the California National Party and candidate for Governor of California in 2026, and Charles McGuinness, party Secretary for IT, the show brings a candid, informed perspective to California politics, current events, and the big structural questions facing the state. Each episode explores what's happening now — from headlines and policy debates to deeper conversations about governance, federalism, and the possibility of Californian independence. The tone is serious but accessible, skeptical of easy answers, and focused on helping listeners understand how California got here — and where it could go next. This isn't punditry or outrage-driven talk radio. It's an ongoing dialogue between two insiders thinking out loud about California's challenges, choices, and future.
