Steve shares his journey from the UK to California, his vision for the state, and his plans to address economic opportunity, affordability, and immigration. He emphasizes the importance of faith in humanity and the need for California to reclaim its status as a beacon of freedom. The conversation also touches on the challenges facing the state's economy and the impact of government policies on its citizens.
