1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: And very Happy Friday to you.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 2: At twelve oh six in the West, It's the John

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: Phillips Show, Mister Randy Waggings Across the Glass, John.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 3: A mistrial has been declared in the trial of Jonathan Renderkanesh,

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 3: the guy accused of starting the Palisades fire. The jury

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 3: could not agree on any of the counts.

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: Maybe Karen Bratt Bass's brother was on that jury. Who

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: thinks that the city of la is responsible for that fire?

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: It's not a namsy pamsy thing.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: Now, federal prosecutors say they're going to try this case again,

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: but I don't see how with a different jury they're

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: not going to have the same result because there's a

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: lot of circumstantial evidence, but there's no direct evidence pushing

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: this kid to this fire. And it's really kind of

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: a stretch to say that the Lockman fire that was

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: started on January first is all the blame goes to

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: this guy for the failures of the city and the

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: state when it comes to the Palisades fire.

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: Well, and this lack of a verdict, I guess we

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: could call it is bad news for the city of

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, because if you are the city of Los

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: Angeles and the jury says, you know what, you can't

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: blame this guy for the fire that burned down the

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: Palisades because the city was so negligent at every possible turn.

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: When the civil lawsuits start filing, which I think they

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: already have against the City of Los Angeles, this is

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: devastating for them.

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: It is very, very very good hand of cards to

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: be if you're the attorneys that are suing the city

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: and the state that the federal government could not convict

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: this guy.

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: a telephone number one eight hundred two two two five

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: two two two. Yesterday, while we were on the air,

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: there was a whole lot of negotiating going on in

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: the state capitol as to which ballot initiatives we will

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: be ultimately voting on in November and which ones would

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: be pulled from the ballot because they cut a deal

39
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: with the governor and the legislature and Randy. During the

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: two PM hour of yesterday's program, that's when we found

41
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: out that the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association would be pulling

42
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: their initiative from the ballot, the Protect Prop thirteen initiative,

43
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: because they in fact did cut a deal in the

44
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 2: state capitol.

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: It sure was real confusing for quite a while to

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: find out that, okay, we've got this figured out now.

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: Apparently Sacramento was ready to put forth a piece of

48
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: legislation that's being described as a poison pill, that would

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: have poisoned the well against all of these tax measures

50
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: in November. So apparently HJTA cut a deal to get

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: the legislature to put forth a ballot measure that they

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 3: would endorse, written exactly the way that John Coupaul asked

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: it to be written. To just deal with the two

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 3: thirds majority issue when it comes to special taxes. When

55
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: it comes to the real estate transfer taxes, I'm gonna

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: guess that's another fight for another day. But of course

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: that wasn't the only last ditch effort to get things

58
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 3: off the ballot. There was a lot of negotiating going

59
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: on in Sacramento yesterday. For more on this, we go

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: to a report from Fox forty in Sacramento.

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: Fox forty is your local election headquarters. Legislative leaders beat

62
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: today's deadline to qualify measures set to appear on the

63
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: November ballot and new today. Lawmakers also approved a deal

64
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: between UBER and a trial lawyers group to take competing

65
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: measures off the ballot in exchange for new rules that

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: could impact your next Uber ride.

67
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: What's so funny about that one is you had the

68
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: groups of trial attorneys and the people at Uber and

69
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: Lyft ready to spend one hundred undred million dollars each

70
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: against each other to defeat the competing initiatives, one which

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: would have stronger regulations for Uber, especially when it's related

72
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: to drivers who are getting accused of sexual assault, and

73
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: the Uber and Lift people wanted all kinds of new

74
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: regulations for the trial attorneys, limiting how much money they

75
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: could bring in from accident cases. They ultimately decided that

76
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: this was going to be a fight to the death

77
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: and decided to have Sacramento negotiate a compromise for them

78
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: where nobody gets exactly what they wanted, but neither group

79
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: is going to have to spend one hundred million dollars.

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 3: And by the way, this is exactly how California's progressive

81
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: back then had a different meaning. Founders what they had

82
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: in mind when they created the initiative the referendum the

83
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: recall direct democracy, because back then it was Southern Pacific

84
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: Railroad that had a law on the legislature, and unless

85
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: Southern Pacific wanted legislation to go through, the legislature wouldn't act.

86
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: So by giving these tools of the initiative process, in

87
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: this case to private citizens, interest groups, corporations, you could

88
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: force the legislature to act on something that they would

89
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: never never otherwise act on. Now times have changed, so

90
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: it's no longer the railroad that controls the legislature. It's

91
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: the public employee unions.

92
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: Thanks for joining us here for Fox forty News at

93
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: six thirty, I'm Mark Kerryman and.

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: I'm Mickey Lorenzo. But that's not all.

95
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: Fox forty Capital reporter Asam Wallace has the latest.

96
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: From the Capitol and a closer look at the last

97
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: minute drama.

98
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: All members voted desire to vote.

99
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 5: A busy day at the state Capitol as lawmakers voted

100
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 5: whether to send a number of proposals to the November

101
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 5: ballot ahead of Thursday's deadline to do so. One of

102
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 5: the proposals will ask voters to approve an eleven point

103
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: twenty five billion dollar housing bond. Supporters, including Governor Devin

104
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 5: new Sum and let's let of Democrats say will help

105
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 5: fund more than forty thousand shovel ready affordable housing projects

106
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 5: state wide.

107
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: Wait, those are those forty thousand projects that Bakaria said

108
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: he's just going to get started.

109
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: Well, the last time Sacramento came up with shovel ready

110
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: jobs was when they passed Prop. Forty seven and fifty seven.

111
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: But that was for grade diggers because they let the

112
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: criminals run wild.

113
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 5: They also say the proposal will get much needed housing

114
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 5: assistance to US military veterans in California.

115
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: These are the types of resources and what our government

116
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: should be doing four people in our communities.

117
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 5: Some Republicans spoke out against the proposal, concerned it will

118
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 5: increase the state's debt and result in taxpayers paying it

119
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 5: back over time.

120
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: We have a record budget and record revenue.

121
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 2: Why do we need to borrow money?

122
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: Another tongky, puzzy young guy, and he knows that all

123
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: the borrowing that we're doing is going to be due

124
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: when he is in his forties.

125
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: That's right.

126
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 5: Post ballot measure will increase the amount of money this

127
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 5: day can place in its rainy day.

128
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 6: Fund, the opportunity to put even a little bit more

129
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 6: away for a rainy day, to take advantage of those

130
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 6: years when we have plenty so that we can be

131
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 6: prepared for those years, and we don't. The messaging will

132
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 6: be we're creating a bigger rainy day fund, but really

133
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 6: we're just creating a bigger slush fund so when revenues

134
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 6: are bigger, you can continue to spend it instead of

135
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 6: paying the obligations that you have or giving the money

136
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 6: back to the taxpayer.

137
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: Despite that up.

138
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: Well, and we talk about having these rainy day funds

139
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: for emergencies, passing emergency legislation, but John, what did we

140
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: find out when it came to the emergency billions of

141
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: dollars that Gavin Newsom allocated to victims of the Palisades

142
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: and the Eaten Fire. Where did that money go? It

143
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: didn't go to the victims.

144
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: It went to the NGOs who do quite well when

145
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: Sacramento makes it rain and not just Sacramento, but when

146
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: city Hall or the various counties do the same thing,

147
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: but the money doesn't get to the intended targets. Everyone

148
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: gets their cut, everyone gets their graft, and the people

149
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: who were supposed to be helping end up without any

150
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: help at all.

151
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 5: Position the Democratic Supermajority voted to qualify both measures for

152
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: the ballot the measure passes, but a number of eligible

153
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 5: measures were negotiated off the ballot, among them dueling measures

154
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 5: backed by Uber and the Consumer Attorneys of California group,

155
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: averting what could have been a costly campaign this fall.

156
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: There were a lot of people pointing out on social

157
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: media last night that a lot of television stations budgets

158
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: were really depending on these two organizations duking it out

159
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: over the airwaves this fall.

160
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, it would be like Tom Steyer on

161
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: the ballot all over again.

162
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: And in fact, now with this off the ballot, with

163
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 3: HJTA off the ballot, I think the only thing you're

164
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: going to see significant money spent on when it comes

165
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: to political advertising in California is the billionaire tax.

166
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 5: Could be The two sides reached a compromise set to

167
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: include a camp on certain medical damage is Uber could

168
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: owe from lawsuits involving Uber car crashes. The deal also

169
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 5: includes a ban prohibiting attorneys from referring clients to medical

170
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 5: providers those same attorneys have an ownership interest.

171
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: In Okay, they might have a point with that one.

172
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of personal injury attorneys, of course,

173
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: endorsed one for over eight years on KABC. But if

174
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 3: you're a PI lawyer and you own the physical therapy

175
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: institute that you're sending people in, it's that's a little messy,

176
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: little shady, to say the least.

177
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 5: Yes also included a requirement for Uber drivers to undergo

178
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: background checks and an option allowing women passengers to request

179
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 5: only women drivers and vice versa.

180
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: Because and the whole campaign behind that was every eight seconds,

181
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: a woman is sexually assaulted in an Uber.

182
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Okay, is that an Uber thing? Or is that a

183
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: men or pigs thing? It could be a little of ball.

184
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 3: One of the issues that we've had, and we've seen

185
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: all these great reports from CBS News investigates. Part of

186
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,479
Speaker 3: the reason that we have this problem is because anybody

187
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: can get an Uber account by buying one on Facebook marketplace,

188
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: so you don't even have to pass a background check.

189
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: You don't wonder who's doing that, who's buying an Uber

190
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 3: account a door Dash account when they can't qualify, for one,

191
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: somebody who has a bad driving record, or somebody who

192
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: has a criminal record. I also think like half the

193
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: population has been raped at some point, because if you

194
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: go back to when I did jury duty under that

195
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: that entire month. You're still traumatized about that. I am

196
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: very traumatized. When they were picking the jury was a

197
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: sexual assault case. When they were picking the jury, they

198
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: only had two questions. One was do you have kids

199
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 3: under the age of twelve in your house? And two

200
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: have you ever been raped or molested? And so when

201
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 3: they were picking the jury and they go, okay, who

202
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: here has been raped or molested? And like three quarters

203
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: of the hands go up. And it wasn't like they

204
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: would just let you out of the room if you

205
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: put your hand up. You had to tell the whole

206
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: story in front of the room full of people. So

207
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: you had to have a lot of details. You couldn't

208
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: just make it up.

209
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you, I know people are willing to

210
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: say outrageous things to get out of jury duty. But

211
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: when these people would start telling the story, they'd start

212
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: crying and choking up, and it look legit to me.

213
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: This bill represents good government.

214
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 7: It represents what happens when parties come together.

215
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 5: Other last minute deals Thursday included an agreement.

216
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: Well, the legislature is very happy about this because the

217
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars that would have been spent

218
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: on advertising can go back to where it was supposed

219
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: to go.

220
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 5: Lobbying between the California Federation of Labor SEIU, United Healthcare

221
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 5: Workers West Union, and California Hospital Association all agreeing to

222
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: withdraw competing ballot measures involving healthcare union political spending limits

223
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 5: and another addressing compensation for healthcare executives, and in another separate.

224
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: Life sounds like it would have been another kidney bill situation.

225
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: I got pulled on that one. Assman a deal.

226
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 5: The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association agreed to withdraw its tax

227
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 5: reform measure from the ballot. Instead, lawmakers will place a

228
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 5: narrower measure on the ballot requiring any future special tax

229
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 5: increase on the local level to receive at least two

230
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 5: thirds support from local voters.

231
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 8: ACE.

232
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: Now, I mean that's a when That's one of the

233
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: major things that was being talked about in the Save

234
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: Prop thirteen campaign that we were actively involved in. We

235
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: did two events collecting signatures for the loophole in Prop

236
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: thirteen was the courts decided that with special taxes and citizens' initiatives,

237
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 3: you didn't need the two thirds majority to raise those taxes.

238
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: This would change that back to the two thirds. You know,

239
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 3: it's funny. I listened to a lot of gambling podcasts

240
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: in my free time.

241
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: Not surprised.

242
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: In this year they changed the threshold of a hand

243
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: pay if you're playing a slot machine and you hit

244
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: a jackpot. It used to be that anytime you hit

245
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: a jackpot of over twelve hundred dollars, the machine would

246
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: lock and then they'd pay you in cash, and they'd

247
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: bring you tax forms you would have to pay taxes

248
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: on it.

249
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: Now they up.

250
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: The threshold to something like two thousand dollars, which is

251
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: better for players. You can write off less of your losses.

252
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: But that's a different story for a different day. The

253
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: point is, according to experts, the number of hand pays

254
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: has been reduced by about fifty percent because they increased

255
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: it from twelve hundred to two thousand. So many hand

256
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: pays fell between twelve hundred dollars and two thousand dollars,

257
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: half of them. I wonder when they put a tax

258
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: increase on the ballot at the local level, whether it's

259
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: a city accounting, whatever, how many of those initiatives fall

260
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: between fifty percent and two words. I bet you it's

261
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: at least half of them. So If this goes through,

262
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: you're going to be able to eliminate at least fifty

263
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: percent of the tax increases that would otherwise easily pass.

264
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 7: Special tax is one that is a dedicated revenue stream.

265
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 7: Most common are for transportation funding, but some have looked

266
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 7: at them for homelessness, for example. Special tax because it's

267
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 7: for a dedicated.

268
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: Purpose, dedicated slush fund, you mean bingo.

269
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: And so now that the deadlines that either qualify or

270
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 5: withdraw state wide measures from the ballot has come and gone,

271
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 5: we can confirm more than a dozen state wide measures

272
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 5: will appear on the November ballot.

273
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: I think we're up at fourteen. That's a lot.

274
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: Our ballot's going to look like a menu at the

275
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: cheesecake factory.

276
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: Well, it already did.

277
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: The one nice thing about the November ballot as opposed

278
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: to the June ballot is there won't be sixty one

279
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: people running for governor. Well, and what really makes the

280
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: ballot go on forever is when we have to vote

281
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: on judges. And let's be honest, unless the judges named judy,

282
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: how many of us have ever heard of any of them?

283
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Election day is.

284
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: The trick with that if you don't have time to

285
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: do the research, and very few people do. Is you

286
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: look at their description. If they were a district attorney,

287
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: a deputy district attorney probably make a decent judge. If

288
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: they worked for the public Defender's office, do not vote

289
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: for them.

290
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: But not always, because I would remind you Adam Schiff

291
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: was a federal prosecutor before he became an elected official.

292
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 5: Good point at the state capitol, covering local news that matter,

293
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 5: say Tom Wallace, Fox forty News.

294
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: So there you go.

295
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: That was the last minute blitz to get as many

296
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: things off the ballot as possible for the simple reason.

297
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: And I think HJTA also had to factor this in

298
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 3: as well. And you talked to John Fleischman about this

299
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: yesterday too. If the legislature was gonna put forth a

300
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: competing measure and the pressure was already put on on

301
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 3: the donors to try to kill this thing, what was

302
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 3: gonna happen was HJTA was gonna need to raise something

303
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: like fifty to one hundred million dollars. That's how much

304
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: money you need now to get something across the finish line.

305
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: This market is insane when it comes to these propositions.

306
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: And if their donors were not just not writing them checks,

307
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: but writing checks on the other side. Good luck getting

308
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: that thing over the finish line. Very difficult. All right,

309
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: it's the John Phillip Show. It's the John Phillip Show.

310

311

318
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,480

320

329
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: I know you people.

330
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,760

00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 3: the last one of the week, so I can tear this.

367
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 10: So.

368
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: One of the initiatives that is actually going to be

369
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: appearing on your November ballot that was being negotiated in

370
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: Sacramento was the billionaire confiscation tax. The wealth Confiscation te

371
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: that one branch of the SCIg wanted, and Galvin Newsom

372
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: said it would be a disaster. It would push wealth

373
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: out of the state. Would be a big problem for

374
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: the state budget and would harm not just California taxpayers

375
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: but other public employee unions who wouldn't get the spoils. Well,

376
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: his efforts were unsuccessful, and as I mentioned, the initiative

377
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: will be on the November ballot. They immediately started attacking

378
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: Galvin Newsom, referring to him as the California Donald Trump,

379
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: alleging that he was trying to protect rich people by

380
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: allowing them to avoid this wealth confiscation tax. Newsom understood

381
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: that that's not a good look for a Democrat in

382
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: a Democratic primary who wants to run for president, So

383
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: he decided, Okay, if you can't beat him, join them,

384
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: Let's go big and advocate for a billionaire wealth confiscation

385
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 2: tax nationwide.

386
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: Well, and the reasoning that he'll give you behind this

387
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: is what he has said pretty consistently. If it's just

388
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 3: in a state, people will leave the state to go

389
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: somewhere else. If it's a national tax, what are they

390
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 3: going to do? All the people in Florida going to

391
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: move to Ireland?

392
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know what actually happened in Europe, true story.

393
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: So many countries in Europe have draconian taxes because they're

394
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: way farther to the left than we are. Did you

395
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: know that right around England there is an independent country

396
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: called the Isle of Man.

397
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: I did not know this. The Isle of Man.

398
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: Look it up and a lot of people, a lot

399
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: of rich people in Europe park their money there to

400
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: avoid paying taxes for whatever country it is that wants

401
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 2: to lay claim to their wealth. People do this sometimes

402
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 2: in the Caribbean too. There are small countries that have

403
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: more marketed themselves as places where you can park your wealth.

404
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: Isn't Switzerland. I think they did that at one point

405
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: in time too.

406
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 3: A lot of people have Swiss bank accounts. A lot

407
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: of people like Tom Steyer have bank accounts in the

408
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 3: Cayman Islands.

409
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: A lot of places to park your money. I wonder

410
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: if Elliott Page has ever been to the Isle of Man.

411
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: All right, just stop having a nice Friday show anyway.

412
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: This is what Newsom is now advocating for, and he

413
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: put up a video on social media where he laid

414
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 2: it all out.

415
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: Let's hear Gavin Newsom in his own words on why

416
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: we need a national billionaire tax.

417
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 9: Here we go, It's time for a national billionaire's tax

418
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 9: and a new social contract. Think about this, just ten

419
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 9: percent of people, ten percent of people in this country

420
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 9: owned two thirds of the wealth.

421
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 3: Gavin's one of these guys. If you've seen this going

422
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 3: around social media. He does not know what to do

423
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: with his hands.

424
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: No, he doesn't.

425
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 3: And I'm not surprised because, as we have learned from

426
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom's somewhat autobiography, young Man in a Hurry, he's

427
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: obsessed with motivational speakers and Tony Robbins.

428
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really want to know when he took a

429
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: liking to Tony Robbins.

430
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: Gavin, you ever walk across the hot calls.

431
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 9: Thirty year old for the first time in American history,

432
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 9: is not doing better than his or her parents. That's

433
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 9: a five alarm fire.

434
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: What about their parents? Are we not doing that anymore?

435
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 9: American wages have stood still in the costs across the

436
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 9: spectrum cost of living at skyrocket. The system is fundamentally broken.

437
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 9: The federal tax code, the corporate tax code, and the

438
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 9: inheritance tax code seemed to be written for a different

439
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 9: set of Americans. It's time for an economic reset, a

440
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 9: true tax, a true minimum tax on bill.

441
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: You know, by the way, as he starts talking about

442
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 3: the changes that he wants to make to the inheritance tax.

443
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: What do you think his very very wealthy father in

444
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: law thinks about that and all the money that's going

445
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: to go to gen.

446
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: His father in law is a donor to Ron Decantis,

447
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: and I think that tells you everything you need to know.

448
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 9: There's that. Well, I'm sure as the people at the

449
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 9: very top pay at least the tax rate their own

450
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 9: workers pay, we also should end this tax free lifestyle loan.

451
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 9: This is the gimmick that allows the ultra wealthy to

452
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 9: borrow against their stock portfolio as well reporting no taxable income.

453
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: Okay, he has a point on that one.

454
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: Didn't he go on vacation during COVID on some yacht

455
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: owned by a Russian oligarch off the coast of Cabo

456
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: San Lucas.

457
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: Yes he did, Okay.

458
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: Wasn't he just at one of the World Cup games

459
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: in a luxury box that's one of the most exclusive.

460
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: Tickets in town? Yes he was. Okay.

461
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 2: This is a guy who may not have a billion

462
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: dollars but lives the life of a billionaire because he

463
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 2: is close to these people in his social network.

464
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 3: But when you're about to run for president, you have

465
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: to make the calculation about what at this point is

466
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: more valuable. Is it the backing of the billionaires because

467
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: we saw how little effect that had on Matt Mahon's

468
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: gubernatorial campaign, Or do you need to get the unions

469
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 3: on your side and this gets the unions back on

470
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: his side that were pissed off at him.

471
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what this is about. This is one

472
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: hundred percent. As a result of those election results in

473
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 2: New York, he saw establishment Democrats get their teeth kicked in,

474
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: and he saw the DSA eat their lunch. And he's

475
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 2: looking at the results in the LA Mayor's race where

476
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: Nitia Rahman could very well become the next mayor of

477
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, and he has positioned himself as the Democratic

478
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: establishment candidate in the twenty twenty eight primary, and he

479
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: now realizes that that may be a big mistake, the

480
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: same way he realized it was a mistake to frame

481
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 2: himself as the Democrat who could talk to MAGA. Remember

482
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: when he was doing that, when he first started his podcast,

483
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: and he had Steve bannon On and Charlie Kirk and

484
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: Michael Savage and all of these conservative boldface names because

485
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: he thought, okay, the Democrats are going to want a

486
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: candidate who can go into places like Pennsylvania and Michigan,

487
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: in Nevada and Arizona and win in those places. But

488
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: the only way to do that is to be able

489
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: to convert some Trump voters to vote for a Democrat.

490
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 2: And then the ridicule and the blowback that he received

491
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: almost immediately caused him to change course. And then he

492
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: became the fighter in the Democratic Party. He became the

493
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 2: guy that won't give an inch on social media. You

494
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: criticize anything that the Democrats are doing, and he and

495
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: Izzy are going to be on you like white on rice.

496
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: And he became mister partisan Democrat, the big Democrat fighter,

497
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: the one who will defend anything the party is doing

498
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: at any given time. And now it looks like the

499
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: Democratic establishment is passe and the DSA is on the rise.

500
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: So what better way to appeal to the DSA than

501
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: to stick it to the billionaires.

502
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 3: The problem Gavin's going to have is the legitimate criticism

503
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: that the DSA folks have of the establishment is that

504
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: they talk a big game and they don't deliver. And

505
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: that's Gavin Newsom's whole platform.

506
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 2: Huge, grandiose proclamations and no follow up through it is

507
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: the California story.

508
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 9: We also have to rewrite those inheritance rules so that

509
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 9: the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in human history, estimated by

510
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 9: well be one hundred and twenty four trillion dollars that

511
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 9: will be changing hands, doesn't lock in a permanent American

512
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 9: aristocracy of inherited wealth time as well, to return to

513
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 9: the preview.

514
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're going to go after these

515
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: families that have controlled wealth for generation after generation after generation,

516
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: wasn't it the Getties that funded his plump Jack wine company?

517
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: Why, yes, yes it was.

518
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 3: He likes to say he put pen to paper and

519
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: got a bunch of investors. But most of those investors

520
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: were affiliated with the Getties, who were affiliated with his father,

521
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: and they made their money in oil yep.

522
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 9: Twenty seventeen corporate tax rates had time to close those off.

523
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: I mean, if you deal with inheritance what Gavin Newsom

524
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: is talking about doing, how much money is Elon even

525
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: can be able to pass on to his seven thousand kids.

526
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: When you look at how many kids Elon has, it's

527
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: hard to believe that he never played in the NBA,

528
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: isn't it.

529
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 9: Sure loopholes once and for all, and as AI reshapes

530
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 9: the country, every American should own a piece of the future.

531
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 9: It builds to a national public equity fund.

532
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: So this is the rebranding of UBI because UBI kind

533
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: of as a concept has fallen flat. Okay, instead of

534
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 3: giving everyone direct cash, how about since these companies, and

535
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: it's not a terrible idea, Since these AI companies are

536
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: kind of making all of their money on our data.

537
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: They're literally writing their own algorithms based on our intellectual

538
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: property and the things that we write on the internet,

539
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: what have you. Maybe the average person should have a

540
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: small stake in these companies. That's not a crazy idea.

541
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: Well, most people are willing to give it away though.

542
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at Facebook. What would Facebook be

543
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 2: if you weren't on it posting your vacation pictures and

544
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: weighing in on every political subject under the sun.

545
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: You don't have nothing, you know.

546
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: I'm at the level on Facebook where I get paid

547
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: now for my food pictures. I get like, I get

548
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: like seven cents a picture. Facebook sent me a check

549
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: for like the first quarter of the year, I made

550
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: like seven bucks.

551
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: That's like McIntyre's residuals for married with children.

552
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 9: Trickle down economics. It's been a well nearly fifty year

553
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 9: experiment that has failed. Record corporate profits flowed into stock

554
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 9: buybacks and executive compensation. It's time to He.

555
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 3: Is definitely pivoting towards as much as he wanted to

556
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 3: go into this thing being like the next kind of

557
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: Biden style guy.

558
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: He's talking like Bernie Well.

559
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: He has always been the guy that's willing to do

560
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 2: and say whatever Democratic voters are doing and saying at

561
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: any given moment. I mean, don't forget he ran for

562
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: mayor of San Francisco as the Conservative candidate in that race.

563
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: And then pissed off all of the conservative donors by

564
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: betraying them.

565
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 9: He did stop pretending otherwise. We're nearing the two hundred

566
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 9: and fiftyth anniversary of this country's revolution. The system the

567
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 9: American founder has built well was designed to prevent the

568
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 9: concentration of power in a few hands, but we've allowed

569
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 9: that concentration to happen anyway, slowly and in plain sight,

570
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 9: over the course of decades.

571
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: Boy, he's getting real gravelly. He is.

572
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: Just wait till he's on the campaign trail and all

573
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: those Southwest flights going all around the country in decades.

574
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 9: But we can reverse it. We can reverse it together.

575
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 9: It's time to democratize the American economy to save our democracy.

576
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, who wrote that? Okay?

577
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: Do you think any of these people who voted for

578
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: the DSA canidates in New York, who voted for Nitthia Rahman,

579
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 2: the people that he is now trying to appeal to,

580
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: the baristas with purple hair, nine thousand and two piercings

581
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: on their face, tattoos all over their body, forty five genders.

582
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: Do you think these people look at that video and

583
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: see someone who's sincere.

584
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: They don't.

585
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: And it's that we already saw this this summer with

586
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: Tom Steyer, where you can't if you believe in that ideology,

587
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 3: you have to be authentically into that ideology. You can't

588
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: just say that this is the kind of stuff you support,

589
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: because they can sniff it out from a mile away.

590
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: Tom Steyer was another guy who didn't really have any beliefs,

591
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 3: just went with what he thought was popular at the time.

592
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: And that is why that campaign, even with two hundred

593
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: and fifty million dollars, could not go across the finish line.

594
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: Because even though there is a significant voting block in

595
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: this state, especially the city of la that is pro

596
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: They're not buying into that. He really believes it.

597
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: I'll also say this, whenever I travel around the country

598
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: and people find out I'm from California, they look at

599
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: me like I'm on drugs, and they go, why in

600
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 2: the world would you stay there? And we have seen

601
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 2: so many people and we see this with the census,

602
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: We see this with certainly the population shifts, particularly since COVID,

603
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: where we've seen the mass exodus of people from California

604
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: moving to Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Nevada all over the

605
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: place because they say California is wrecked. I don't want

606
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: to live like that. I'm going to go live in

607
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 2: a place that's free, and I'm going to enjoy my

608
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: life there.

609
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: Here's the issue.

610
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: The issue is you can't ever really run away from

611
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: your problems because look at what just happened. We had

612
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: a California ballot initiative sponsored by the SCIU, the wealth

613
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 2: confiscation tax for billionaires, and people looked at it and went, oh,

614
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: look at that. More insanity from California. And you go, okay,

615
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 2: but it's in California.

616
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: Today.

617
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: It's going to be national tomorrow. Look how long it

618
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: took for this zany California idea to suddenly have a

619
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: national platform where you have one of the leading candidates

620
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: for president now advocating for this to go across all

621
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 2: fifty states.

622
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: This is why the.

623
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 2: Role that we play here in California is an important one.

624
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: We're the first line of defense, and if we can

625
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: defeat these bad ideas.

626
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: Here, it won't go to other states.

627
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 2: But if we get steamrolled here, it will be exported

628
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 2: to other places. So you can move to Texas, you

629
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: can move to Florida, you can move to Arizona and think, Okay,

630
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: you left all of that insanity behind, but it's going

631
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,080

Speaker 1: the man a question, that's all. What is she gonna do?

682
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: I think she's gonna come back and run for something else,

683
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: So I think just park herself at UCI for another

684
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: couple of years, then get back out on the campaign trail. Yeah,

685
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 2: I could see her running for attorney general. Imagine treating

686
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: Bob Banta for her. Oh, I take her over, Bob Bonta.

00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: Do you think he's gonna make it another term or

690
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,600
