As FR readers know, KFI’s John and Ken have been extremely vocal in recent weeks, expressing dismay over Governor Schwarzenegger’s decision to do a 180 on his often-repeated no taxes pledge. We’ve been equally as vocal here. We’ve all got something in common — we all supported Governor Schwarzenegger in his elections because he made us a promise, a pledge, a commitment — that the taxpayers, "would not be punished for the mistakes of politicians." Right. We are now official chumps, I suppose.
The Governor "called out" John and Ken, and yours truly earlier in the week (read about that 
here) for our opposition to a tax hike as any part of dealing with the state’s overspending problem.
Well, John and Ken reached out and now I will be appearing on their show later this afternoon. If you are free during the 3 o’clock hour, tune in live by radio at KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles or live online here or via archives podcast here once they have that up.
It should be entertaining, though the subject matter is quite unfortunate. We sent the Governor up there, broom in hand, to sweep out the special interests (largely represented by the Public Employee Unions). Now those very same interests are opposing a cut-only solution to our overspending problem — and the Governor’s broom? I think it is used to sweep up ashes in the smoking tent these days…

Excellent interview Jon. I liked the line about telling the Schwarzenegger staffers when we call into his office that the script has changed and its time for him to act like a Republican for this budget movie. Maybe he’ll relate to that.
