WEBVTT - Supreme Court says Prop 50 maps can go forward 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.360 And we continue at one oh five in the afternoon 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:07.119 on the John Phillips Show, Mister Randy Wangs in Culver City. 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:11.000 John, the United Educators of San Francisco say, if they 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:15.520 don't get a deal with SFUSD by February ninth, they're 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:16.880 going on strike. 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:18.239 Get that money. 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.760 Can you imagine what life would be like if Cecily 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.840 my art cruise could multiply and she could be in 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.680 charge of all of the teachers unions all over the 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:30.960 state of California. 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.280 And I want you to be all the way. 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:40.280 I can tell you this et cetern would sell a 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:46.800 lot that is fantastic. Eight hundred two two two five 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.720 two two two is the telephone number one eight hundred 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.080 two two two five two two two. Well, we spent 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.480 a lot of time on this program talking about Proposition fifty. 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.600 That's what we voted on late last year. It was 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:04.800 Gavin Newsom's initiative that would jerrymander the state's congressional districts 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.759 up in a way that would met the Democrats up 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:13.280 to five more congressional seats. Newsom said that we had 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.240 to do it because Texas was redrawing their congressional lines 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:23.040 and other states followed California's lead Republican states, Democratic states 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:28.880 and redrawing their own congressional district lines. Mid decade, it 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.160 was being challenged in the courts. We had Assemblymen David 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.399 Togipa on this program who was one of the plaintiffs. 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.640 He represents Fresno in the California State Legislature. He was 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.800 saying that proponents who Prop fifty broke the law and 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.039 they used race as one of the measures on how 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.440 they would draw these districts, and you can't do that 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.400 according to the law. Well, the Supreme Court heard them 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.000 and came back with a verdict and Randy. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.559 Prop fifty is here to stay. 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.200 The Prop fifty maps will the in effect for this election. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.760 There's not going to be anything that changes that. For more. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.680 Here's Fox forty in Sacramento. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.040 Or I'm not surprised by the outcome. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.119 But first, a major victory for Governor Newsimmon Democrats. After 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.920 the US Supreme Court officially allowed California's new Prop fifty 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.600 congressional maps to move forward. 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.400 And by the way, the Texas maps were also challenged. 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.840 They also went to the Supreme Court and the Supreme 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.720 Court said, yeah, those can stay. Too. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.320 It seems like the. 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.560 Courts are allowing the states to do what they want 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.040 to do in. 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.440 The upcoming midterm elections. It comes after state Republicans and 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.520 the Trump administration tried to block the maps maps from 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.760 taking effect. Thanks for joining us tonight for Fox forty 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.120 News at six. IM Niki Lorenzo and. 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:42.840 I'm Eric Caerryman. 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.040 Fox forty Capital reporter Aton Wallace has reaction tonight from 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:46.800 the state Capitol. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.400 It's a US Supreme Court decision that could have major 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.480 ramifications for the balance of power in the US House 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:58.560 of Representatives. The nation's high court wednesday unanimously allowing California's 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.720 voter approved Prompt fifty jerrymandered congressional maps aimed at helping 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.080 Democrats gain at least five US House states statewide, to 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.600 be used in the upcoming midterm election. State Republicans and 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.840 the Trump administration's the US Department of Justice sued to 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.440 block the maps, arguing they were illegally racially drawn to 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.320 favorite Latinos over other racial groups, but in the end, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.720 the court denied that GOP backed legal challenge. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.720 No, I'm not surprised by the outcome. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.800 Victor's School of Law adjunct Professor Chris mccayley says that's 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.760 because the court recently allowed Texas to move forward with 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:32.720 its new maps. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.080 Everybody can cheat. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.920 And I'll tell you, I know that courts are not 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:42.240 supposed to be political, but they're human beings like the 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.400 rest of us. They have their own particular ideologies, but 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:51.840 also they're human. And if you are a judge and 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.080 you know that the will of the people in a 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.840 particular state is to do something as it was in Texas, 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.040 as it is in California, as is the case in 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.320 other states, do you want to be the person that 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.480 stands in the way of the people and the popular will. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.800 It seems like most judges, or at least in this 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.040 particular case. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.400 Don't designed to help Republicans pick up five US House 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.400 seats there. The majority opinion in that case dismissed claims 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.599 of racial jerrymannering in the new Texas maps and hinted 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.320 a similar ruling could be coming for California's Prop fifty maps. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.279 If you're doing it for political reasons, that's fine, that 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:32.559 is what the courts have said. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.839 Well, what's wild is in each state the dynamic is 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.479 going to be different because with COVID. What happened was 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.880 the snow globe was shaken and you saw a lot 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.200 of populations changing. You saw some states like Florida and 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.839 Texas and Arizona gain population, and you saw other states 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:59.280 like New York, Illinois, Rhode Island, California, Massachusetts lose population. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.599 California with Prop fifty, drew five more seats in for 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.080 the Democrats. But if the census is as bad as 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.320 people are assuming for California, we could lose between three 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.839 and five seats. So even though they're gaining five seats now, 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.120 they're gonna have to turn around and give them all 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:24.440 back when the census. New census numbers come in at 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:25.839 the end of the decade. 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.520 And those fights as to who gets to run in 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.840 those seats is going to be ugly. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.320 Oh, it's gonna be super ugly because the fights are 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.840 going to be over two different things. Primarily, it's gonna 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:42.320 be over race. Different racial groups think that they're entitled 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.360 to certain seats and they don't want people from other 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.599 races coming in and taking it away from them. And 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.400 the other thing is age. And this is really accelerated 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.599 since Biden was forced out of the race in twenty 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:59.680 twenty four, where there is I don't know how to 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.840 put this. There is a sense of I don't know. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.120 People are angry, and people hold resentment for the older 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:13.200 members who stick around too long. And if you are 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.159 someone who's in your eighties and you're in a very 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.320 safe seat and you have people underneath you who are 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.599 turning out of office and there's no place for them 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.240 to go, and you stick around because you're comfortable and 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.000 because you can, my guess is those people are going 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.479 to be targeted. Think about Maxine Waters, who's what eighty 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:38.000 seven years old? Doris matt Sewey up in Sacramento, she's 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.039 eighty something years old. How long do these people plan 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.200 on sticking around? And if you're going to target someone, 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.080 you're redrawing these lines. It's a nice convenient way to 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.880 just nudge these people out. 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:56.480 Essentially, they said, those political reasons overrode the potential legal 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.680 challenges under the Federal Voting Rights Act and the Federal 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:05.280 Constant And they even referenced California's subsequent adoption of its 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:10.000 politically drawn maps and so applying the same logic to both, 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:11.880 it's not a surprising outcome. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.280 Governor Gavin Newsom's press office, calling the decision a massive 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.560 win for Californians. The governor of. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.120 How his press office is down person, Now. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.800 Oh, yes, that press office. 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:23.040 Man. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.480 You want to talk about an off the rails department 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.520 in California government. Putting the cast of Glee in charge 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.800 of his Twitter account was a real great decision. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.320 I mean, it's worked out for him so far. 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:42.480 It's worked out so far, but I'm telling you it's 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.560 also going to be the downfall the governor. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.120 Writing this quote, Donald Trump said he was entitled to 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.440 five more congressional seats in Texas. He started this redistricting war. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.400 He lost, and he'll lose again in November. GOP Clovis, 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.720 a Summing member, David Togipot was among the plaintiff challenging 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:01.960 the Prop fifty maps. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:02.960 It's frustrating. 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.240 We're going to turn our attention to the twenty twenty 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:05.840 six election. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.680 It all comes in a state that before Prop fifty 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.040 had just nine of its fifty two congressional seats held 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.360 by Republicans. With the new maps taking effect to this election, 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.680 that number of GOP held House seats stayedwide is expected 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:24.360 to drop. With Rockland Republican congress Member Kevin Kylie potentially impacted. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.440 I'm obviously not happy that my district has been sliced 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:29.520 into six different pieces. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.680 I do think jerry mandering is bad. And have you've 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.280 seen what's going on with Kylie now, is he's deciding 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.120 which one of these six districts he's going to run in, 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.560 and so he's ruling one out week by week. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:46.439 And there's really no good answer because these aren't communities 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.760 of interest. I mean, go back to Doug LaMalfa seat, 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.520 the guy that just died, the congressman from I think 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.439 it's lass In County. Instead of having a rural North 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.360 state district that produces a member that looks out for 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.120 rural North State interests, what they did was they drew 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.720 this district that looks like a phallic shaped object that 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.920 goes all the way from the North State to Marin 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:16.040 County and the population center in that district is Marin County. 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.840 Well, guess what that means. 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.679 Marin County is going to be able to choose the representative, 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.000 and the people in the North State will have no 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:24.960 representation at all in Congress. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.720 And to make that whole matter even shadier, Mike McGuire 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.880 is now running for that seat. The former state Senate 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.280 pro Tem who voted on these maps. 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.000 Oh yeah, that was the payoff, because there was no 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.400 way Prop fifty was going to get through the legislature 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.679 without him and Assembly Speaker Revis signing off on it. 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.480 And both of them now have districts to run in. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.439 There's been some hogwash. Apparently Kylie is looking at the 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.719 only seat where he might be able to win, as 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:58.520 if he runs against Tom McClintock. Oh boy, And then 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.040 you have that fight in Orange County now between Ken 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.480 Calvert and Young Kim. It's it's going to be an 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.960 ugly twenty twenty six for the surviving Republican seats. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.560 It is, But then just give it four years and 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.600 the Democrats are going to deal with the same thing 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.840 because we're going to lose four or five seats. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.000 I do think jerry mandering is bad for democracy, and 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:18.959 I think that's true wherever it happens, it doesn't. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.080 And he put his money where his mouth is. He 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.440 wrote a bill that would abandoned this practice nationwide. Never 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:25.600 made it to the House floor. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.319 No, and that put him on the opposite side of 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:32.040 the Speaker because the will in Washington, d C. Among 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.760 Democrats and Republicans is this. In California, it costs a 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.920 fortune to protect these seats. In New York, it costs 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.080 a fortune to protect these seats. So if you just 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.839 make all of the seats in California and New York 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:50.240 and places where it's expensive just one party or another, 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.360 the seat just belongs to someone and you just don't 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.160 play in that race at all, well you save a 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.440 ton of money. Because if you can spend money on 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:04.080 a Congression district, and let's say rural Indiana or rural Texas, 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.000 the media markets there if you're buying time in Abilene 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.719 is very different than if you're buying time in La 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:11.280 or San. 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.680 Diego or San Francisco. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.800 So from the point of view of both the national 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.600 I'm not talking about the state, the National Democratic and 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.199 the National Republican parties, this was a good deal because 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.600 it saves them a ton of money. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:25.560 I think that's true wherever it happens. 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.400 It doesn't really make sense to have politicians drawing their 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.360 own district clients picking their own voters. 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.160 It should be voters who picked the politicians. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.720 Now, the timing for all of this is significant because 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.880 the window for candidates to officially declare which districts they're 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.439 running in opens Monday, reporting at the state capitol, covering 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.920 local news that matters Atah Wallace, Fox forty News. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.560 So there you go. Prop fifty is here to stay. 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.320 Those maps will be in effect for the twenty twenty 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.080 six midterms. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.480 And Gavin Newsom of course counts this as a big 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.320 political win for him back in twenty twenty five, feels 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.160 that the wind is at his sales right now in 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.160 twenty twenty six, Well, that thing. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.520 Did pass by over sixty percent in almost every county 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:09.679 they did. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:10.800 It did. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.360 Now that leads us to where we are right now, 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.920 which is Gavin Newsom is trying to make sure he 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.520 lines up all his ducks in a row before he 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.960 launches his campaign for the presidency. He comes from San Francisco. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.079 The dominant industry in California is the tech industry. He 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.679 expects the tech industry to line up behind him and 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.720 finance his campaign as they have in the past. However, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.120 you can't be a Democratic candidate for president and not 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.400 have support among labor two. So what happens when the 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.520 tech industry and labor are at odds with one another well, 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:54.120 what happens is Gavin Newsom he hits the thumbs and 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.560 right now he's getting pressure from both. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:02.600 Sides, including from his old buddy Loreina Gonzalez. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.320 Who is now threatening Gavin Newsom that if he doesn't 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.720 crack down on AI, labor will not support him for more. 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.320 Here's KCA three and Ashley Savalla. 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.319 They and national labor leaders we're in Sacramentol today pushing 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.440 for protections against artificial intelligence. They want Governor Gavin Newsom 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.560 to do more to make sure AI does not cost 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:26.600 people their jobs. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:27.640 Thanks for joining us here. 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.400 I mean, that's happening. I don't think there's much Gavin 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:31.360 can do about it. 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.120 No, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.040 It's here, It's here to stay. It's not going anywhere. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.400 This has been true for a very long time, but 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:45.360 it's accelerating even faster. Technology evolves way quicker than anyone 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.280 will ever be able to regulate it. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.920 And go back to the discussion that we just had 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.640 about our members in Congress. These people are in their eighties. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.080 They don't know how to change the channel on their television. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.280 You think they can be one step ahead of the 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:01.080 tech industry. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:02.480 And regulate AI. 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.439 Thanks for joining us here at seven. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.880 I'm Curtis May and I'm media Lambert KSERI three political 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.080 director Ashley Zavala shares their message. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.720 Labor leaders were trying to send a message to Gavin Newsom, 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:17.960 not justice California governor, but as likely presidential candidate. Lourena Gonzalez, 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.680 the leader of the California Labor Federation, hosted a press 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:24.680 conference with other labor leaders from key presidential primary states 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:29.120 like Iowa, North Carolina, Nevada, and Georgia, all urging Newsom 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.840 to do more to protect workers from being replaced by 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.640 artificial intelligence. Gonzale has made it clear she can. 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.280 By the way, you know what really drove the acceleration 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.400 of this was a little thing called AB five that 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.520 Loraina Gonzalez authored and got through the legislature that was 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.160 signed that made it a lot harder to be an 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.880 independent contractor in this state, which has accelerated the job 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.200 losses for a whole lot of different categories. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.920 It's almost as if she didn't think it through. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.440 Gonzale has made it clear she feels like the governor 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.680 is doing more to protect the tech industry than workers 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.960 right now now, other leaders from other states suggested the 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.800 nation's leader needs to be at the forefront of the problem. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.520 I'm very frustrated with the calculus of the governor that 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.720 he may be more interested in his big tech billionaire 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.880 friends than he is with working people. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.080 This is a trend now between Lorena with her federation 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.840 and then the SCIU going after Gavin for not supporting 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.480 the wealth text. The unions are all making a lot 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.120 of threats based on his political ambitions. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.280 Well, they think that they call the shots and the 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.880 governor doesn't. The governor thinks that he calls the shots 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.600 and they don't. And right now they're bumping heads. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.680 I'm very frustrated with the calculus of the governor that 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.800 he may be more interested in his big tech billionaire 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.960 friends than he is with working people, I guess. And 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.720 I'm more frustrated, to be honest. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.680 Don't you miss that voice, not one bit. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.640 And I'm more frustrated, to be honest that it's like, 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.479 sit down and engage. And we know this in California, 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.160 right we always say this on big shoes, sit down 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:02.760 and let's have a discussion. 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:07.160 Yes, because us, the unelected members of these union boards, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:08.920 we're the ones in charge here. 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.520 Can you imagine breaking bread with her? 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.680 I welcome, Governor Newsom. Come on down to North Carolina. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:22.720 Get you some barbecue with some sweet tea. Oh okay, 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.080 come come experience the mountains of West and North Carolina 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:31.440 to the beaches of the outer Banks. But rest assure 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.160 that if you come to North Carolina, you are going 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.000 to have to meet and reckon with workers. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.440 Officials with the California Labor Federation say later this month 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.040 they will release a set of proposals they want state 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.680 lawmakers and the governor to pass this year to protect 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.360 workers from AI. Reporting of the state capital, Ashley Zaballa 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:49.760 case Harry three News. 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:54.160 In a statement, a spokesperson for Governor Newsom said, quote, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.320 no governor has done more than Governor Gavin Newsom to 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.440 regulate AI in a way that protects workers without killing 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.439 jobs or innovation. Under his leadership, California has taken the 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.440 most comprehensive worker centered approach to AI in the country. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.919 They continued, Well, the Trump administration has abandoned working people. 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.520 Governor knew some delivers, raising the minimum wage for millions 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.119 and expanding sick leave, paid family leave, and life saving 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:21.200 worker protections. 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.280 You Havevin new some statement says, hey, I've already done 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.200 a lot for these union overlords. 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.199 You know what's interesting to me is when he bumps 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.680 heads with a Republican or some talking head or whomever, 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.760 a Republican celebrity, they get real bitchy with their statements. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.840 But did you notice how when he bumps heads with 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:46.040 labor how that's a very traditional political statement that you 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:47.840 would expect to hear from a politician. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.280 You don't want to piss off the rann Againzales. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:58.199 They're afraid of her, and I'm telling you, one of 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.520 these young kids working in his press office isn't going 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.280 to know who she is. They're just going to know 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.879 that they're being attacked by someone on the outside, and 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:14.359 they're going to go after her, and then the carrot 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:21.000 inside her is going to be unleashed. It'll be a 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:25.560 beautiful thing to see.

Even if the city went into bankruptcy, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.280 she'd get reelected. So if people don't know what they're 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:55.720 voting for, and Rick Caruso should be a true Republican. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.000 All right.

Has anybody done anything about it to 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.960 put these units back on the streets. And I don't 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:33.879 see any newspapers or any TV reporters out there knocking 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:35.240 on the door and say, we want to look at 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.440 the yard. Let's see what the status quo of all 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:41.520 the just broken down units were. Because the city council 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.440 wakes up every morning and does nothing but spend a 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:49.000 billion dollars on anything and everything. But so somebody's got 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.280 to put her feet to the fire when it comes 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:56.560
