So I put in a 0:00:30.990 --> 0:00:33.409 best of segment and I was enjoying listening to it. 0:00:36.090 --> 0:00:39.070 I'm not a narcissist, but we do a better show 0:00:39.110 --> 0:00:41.090 than almost anybody. Just saying. 0:00:43.940 --> 0:00:45.940 If you want to watch us perform the show live, 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.640 go to johnnydontlike.com and click that like button.

If you 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.580 haven't done so, please give it a click. It really 0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:58.800 helps us out a lot. 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.840 And we're at over 6,400 subscribers. Every time that you 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.980 get a friend of yours to subscribe to the channel, 0:01:05.180 --> 0:01:06.180 I do a happy dance. 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:17.430 800-222-5222 is telephone number 1-800-222-5222. Well, in addition to a 0:01:17.510 --> 0:01:21.190 governor's race going on on the November ballot and a 0:01:21.310 --> 0:01:24.720 big mayor's race in the city of Los Angeles, We 0:01:24.810 --> 0:01:28.560 also have a number of propositions that will be appearing 0:01:28.780 --> 0:01:33.100 on your ballot, including one that is dividing organized labor. 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:39.270 And that is the billionaire tax, the wealth confiscation tax 0:01:39.310 --> 0:01:42.830 that has been put forth by the SEIU Health Care Union. 0:01:43.610 --> 0:01:46.789 The other unions in California that hold a lot of power, 0:01:46.810 --> 0:01:50.090 that hold a lot of sway, they're not happy about 0:01:50.130 --> 0:01:53.840 it because they're not getting a cut. You might think, 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.180 if you haven't been paying too much attention, if this 0:01:56.260 --> 0:02:00.200 tax passes, it just goes into the general fund. No, no, no, no, no. 0:02:00.900 --> 0:02:03.400 The majority of the money goes to the health care 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.940 union that put it on the ballot, and the majority 0:02:05.980 --> 0:02:09.290 of that money goes to fill their blown pension fund. 0:02:09.690 --> 0:02:10.150 Great. 0:02:11.750 --> 0:02:14.850 Let's see who's fighting over the scraps here. Here is 0:02:14.889 --> 0:02:18.330 a report from ABC7 in the Bay. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.739 For years, labor's had a major influence on California politics. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:26.040 This election cycle, nothing has divided unions more than Proposition 40, 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.220 the wealth tax or billionaire's tax, if you prefer. 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.600 Yeah, and ABC7 Eyewitness News political reporter Monica Madden takes 0:02:31.700 --> 0:02:32.940 us inside the fight. 0:02:34.300 --> 0:02:39.049 Newsom, Becerra, and Hilton are all voting no. There's a 0:02:39.070 --> 0:02:41.290 team up I didn't imagine. It's the new Avengers. 0:02:44.350 --> 0:02:47.239 In the fight over a proposed billionaire tax, majorly. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.760 Boy, even the quotes from Becerra are so Becerra. On 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.019 the screen, it shows what Becerra apparently said to Time 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.120 magazine about the wealth tax, and he called it a 0:02:58.800 --> 0:02:59.960 sketchy policy. 0:03:00.300 --> 0:03:00.830 Scrub it. 0:03:01.780 --> 0:03:04.549 Well, I wonder if he and Ricardo Lara are friends. 0:03:07.310 --> 0:03:09.470 Haven't used this one in a while. I'm very kind 0:03:09.510 --> 0:03:09.950 of sketch. 0:03:10.290 --> 0:03:11.669 That jackass is termed out. 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.679 Labor groups in California are divided. 0:03:14.700 --> 0:03:19.370 Teachers, firefighters, and Planned Parenthood affiliates of California are also 0:03:19.430 --> 0:03:19.970 voting no. 0:03:20.150 --> 0:03:21.890 Because they're not getting any of that money. 0:03:21.910 --> 0:03:25.660 And that's a curveball for a lot of people. Because 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.660 usually the unions haven't seen a tax they don't like. 0:03:29.700 --> 0:03:32.620 They like them when they're getting the money from it. 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.710 And that's why... If this thing passes, and remember, it 0:03:35.750 --> 0:03:41.130 is a one-time 5% don't-know-how-you-calculate-it wealth confiscation tax from the 0:03:41.130 --> 0:03:45.220 200 or so billionaires in the state for health care, 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.580 which is an ongoing problem, but we need one-time funding. 0:03:48.620 --> 0:03:51.420 That doesn't make any sense. But how much you want 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.220 to bet if this thing passes in 2028, Cecily and 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.040 the teachers' unions are going to put forth their own 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.780 wealth tax to get the schools some more money? 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.080 Get that money! 0:04:02.630 --> 0:04:06.370 It's almost guaranteed, assuming it holds up in court. 0:04:07.150 --> 0:04:09.710 There is a good chance that this thing will get 0:04:09.810 --> 0:04:12.680 challenged the day it passes, if it passes. 0:04:13.340 --> 0:04:16.460 The measure would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.300 residents with at least $ 1 billion in assets. 0:04:19.540 --> 0:04:21.240 And by the way, this was a topic we talked 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.570 about extensively on this week's podcast with John Morgan of 0:04:24.610 --> 0:04:27.109 Morgan & Morgan. And he talks about some of the 0:04:27.130 --> 0:04:30.369 psychology behind this and what he thinks about this bill 0:04:30.410 --> 0:04:34.060 that is already chasing out billionaires in the state. 0:04:34.620 --> 0:04:37.790 And John Morgan can speak to this with some authority 0:04:38.230 --> 0:04:41.990 because he is not only a billionaire, he's a billionaire 0:04:42.010 --> 0:04:44.850 with a billion dollars in fluid cash in the bank. 0:04:46.570 --> 0:04:51.289 Labor powerhouse SEIU UHW is spearheading the measure, pitching it 0:04:51.430 --> 0:04:54.680 as the only way to offset major federal health care cuts. 0:04:55.060 --> 0:05:00.100 We do have an honest-to-God pending health care catastrophe in California. 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.260 I recently caught up with its president. 0:05:02.370 --> 0:05:04.290 You know what's going to happen? This guy's going to 0:05:04.310 --> 0:05:06.810 get so much money from that wealth tax that he's 0:05:06.830 --> 0:05:08.110 going to fix that lazy eye. 0:05:09.529 --> 0:05:12.470 Well, what he's going to do is he's going to say, OK, well, 0:05:12.529 --> 0:05:16.280 now we have the pensions in a good place. But 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.240 now what we need to do is make sure that 0:05:18.300 --> 0:05:20.779 we have money for the people who are currently working. 0:05:21.460 --> 0:05:24.860 So now we need to go after millionaires, which is 0:05:25.020 --> 0:05:26.900 anyone who owns a home in Van Nuys. 0:05:27.350 --> 0:05:30.260 No matter how dumpy it is. There is a dumpy 0:05:30.300 --> 0:05:32.680 home in my neighborhood that just got put up for 0:05:32.740 --> 0:05:38.020 sale for $ 1. 12 million, and I'm in the dumpy, boring, 0:05:38.180 --> 0:05:42.190 hot San Fernando Valley. And it's like a three-bedroom. 0:05:42.870 --> 0:05:44.370 Reagan, about the campaign. 0:05:44.570 --> 0:05:47.130 How would you characterize some of the split that we're 0:05:47.150 --> 0:05:49.190 seeing amongst labor? 0:05:49.330 --> 0:05:52.230 First of all, I don't think labor is split. We're seeing, 0:05:52.310 --> 0:05:57.850 you know, just some kind of backroom, typical inside baseball 0:05:57.930 --> 0:06:00.070 among political elites. 0:06:00.230 --> 0:06:02.490 I think the takeaway from all of this is that 0:06:02.529 --> 0:06:05.180 the unions across the board, whether you want to talk 0:06:05.220 --> 0:06:07.880 about the health care union, even the police unions, they 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.479 all have way too much influence in Sacramento. 0:06:11.220 --> 0:06:15.039 And when you're talking about the teachers union specifically, you're 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:19.029 talking about what might arguably be the most powerful union 0:06:19.190 --> 0:06:20.849 in the state that's opposed to this. 0:06:21.529 --> 0:06:21.750 Well. 0:06:22.029 --> 0:06:24.650 They are the most powerful union. They kept your kids 0:06:24.730 --> 0:06:27.440 out of school longer than anywhere else. And I want 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.040 you to be all the way pissed off. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:35.250 Say they're concerned about unintended consequences with the No 140 0:06:35.250 --> 0:06:38.360 campaign calling it, quote, Bad for our budget, bad for 0:06:38.420 --> 0:06:40.659 our economy, and bad for our future. 0:06:40.940 --> 0:06:43.140 For the last 30 or 40 years, going out about 0:06:43.190 --> 0:06:46.970 another 10 years or so, Labor's ability to push California 0:06:47.010 --> 0:06:50.289 politicians around to get what they want, not at the 0:06:50.330 --> 0:06:53.210 bargaining table, but really pushing in Sacramento and the legislature, 0:06:53.490 --> 0:06:54.150 it's gone. 0:06:54.130 --> 0:06:54.630 Up and up. 0:06:55.010 --> 0:06:57.740 With Labor's significant role in California politics. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.880 This is why, by the way, so many Sacramento politicians 0:07:01.060 --> 0:07:04.240 and Sacramento staffers like Dana Williamson are so drunk all 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.360 the time. Because they're getting bought and paid for fancy 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.200 dinners and fancy drinks from all the unions, from all 0:07:12.220 --> 0:07:16.960 the utilities. Everyone's up for sale there. And I'm sure 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.230 they go for the good stuff. How much Johnny Walker 0:07:19.310 --> 0:07:22.010 Blue do you think is consumed in Sacramento? 0:07:22.570 --> 0:07:24.250 Have you ever been up there during the week? 0:07:24.830 --> 0:07:25.390 I have not. 0:07:25.810 --> 0:07:29.070 Oh, it's a very interesting thing. And I'm sure Washington, D.C. 0:07:29.130 --> 0:07:34.270 is just like it. But you go there. And what 0:07:34.310 --> 0:07:37.170 they have in all the restaurants, because the restaurants in 0:07:37.210 --> 0:07:42.330 Sacramento all have private rooms. The hotels obviously have private 0:07:42.370 --> 0:07:46.120 rooms that you can rent. And there are, I don't know, 0:07:46.130 --> 0:07:50.720 a dozen receptions going on at night for different groups. 0:07:51.500 --> 0:07:56.440 So you'll have the Walnut Growers Association there. And you'll 0:07:56.460 --> 0:08:01.190 have the Cal State Professors Union up there having an event. 0:08:01.980 --> 0:08:06.980 and you'll have the Peach Growing Association. And they all 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.060 have their own open bars, and they all have their 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.620 own food. And if you're a member of the legislature, 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.170 you're probably renting a room from someone, maybe a hotel room, 0:08:19.290 --> 0:08:23.210 maybe an Airbnb, maybe some rich member owns a house 0:08:23.270 --> 0:08:25.990 and you're renting a room from them. So it's not 0:08:26.050 --> 0:08:28.510 like you cook at night when you're in Sacramento. You 0:08:28.530 --> 0:08:31.050 go out and you eat. So what a lot of 0:08:31.090 --> 0:08:35.309 them do is, is they just bounce from reception to reception, 0:08:35.330 --> 0:08:38.390 and it's like you go to a wedding every night 0:08:39.030 --> 0:08:42.730 where you just eat the hors d'oeuvres that they have, 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.479 and you go to the Chinese restaurant to get the 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.880 Chinese hors d'oeuvres, you go to the steakhouse to get 0:08:47.900 --> 0:08:50.059 the steak hors d'oeuvres, you go to the Mexican place 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.679 to get the Mexican hors d'oeuvres, and by the time 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.780 you go to bed, you're blown a. 2 and you've 0:08:54.820 --> 0:08:56.260 eaten 3,000 calories. 0:08:57.590 --> 0:09:01.940 Well, and you remember when... Wendy Carrillo got her DUI 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.439 after an event, and she crashed into two parked cars. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.980 She claimed it was because she didn't eat anything at 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:08.990 the cocktail party. 0:09:09.910 --> 0:09:12.770 Well, maybe she was cutting back. 0:09:14.179 --> 0:09:17.750 Observers say it's unclear how the split might impact voters 0:09:17.809 --> 0:09:18.469 in November. 0:09:18.790 --> 0:09:21.650 An initiative politics always make for strange bedfellows. 0:09:21.830 --> 0:09:25.120 And this battle is challenging the notion of labor as 0:09:25.170 --> 0:09:26.760 a single political force. 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.500 Labor is a huge, powerful block in Sacramento. And it's 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.600 not really blue or red. It's just powerful. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.630 Monica Madden, ABC7 Eyewitness News. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.040 So that's the latest on the fight for Prop 40, 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.870 the wealth confiscation tax that you'll be able to vote 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.230 on in less than a month. Ballots are going out 0:09:46.290 --> 0:09:47.270 in just four weeks. 0:09:47.870 --> 0:09:51.830 And the professor is wrong. Labor is overwhelmingly blue. They 0:09:51.990 --> 0:09:57.650 overwhelmingly support Democratic candidates and Democratic causes. The split in 0:09:57.690 --> 0:10:02.120 this particular case is not ideological. however. The split is 0:10:02.179 --> 0:10:07.180 because they didn't share the spoils on this one. The SEIU, 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.400 and specifically one branch of the SEIU, is keeping all 0:10:11.420 --> 0:10:14.130 of the spoils and they cut everyone else out of 0:10:14.150 --> 0:10:17.130 the deal. That's why you're seeing the split within the 0:10:17.309 --> 0:10:20.510 overwhelmingly Democratic public employee unions. 0:10:21.110 --> 0:10:22.390 They want their cut. 0:10:22.550 --> 0:10:24.310 Make that money! 0:10:24.650 --> 0:10:25.910 I'm this London breed. 0:10:26.630 --> 0:10:32.319 So definitely go no on 40. All right. One initiative 0:10:32.340 --> 0:10:36.980 that does not have the Democrat split is Proposition 39. 0:10:36.980 --> 0:10:41.090 Prop 39 is the Voter ID Initiative. Let me change 0:10:41.110 --> 0:10:43.850 my lower third here. And it is on the ballot, 0:10:43.970 --> 0:10:47.390 and the organized campaign against it kicked off yesterday in 0:10:47.830 --> 0:10:51.110 downtown L.A. with Padilla and Baccaria. 0:10:52.690 --> 0:10:53.410 What a duo. 0:10:54.190 --> 0:10:57.309 For more, here is NBCLA. 0:10:57.890 --> 0:11:00.369 Democrats kicked off a campaign they say is designed to 0:11:00.410 --> 0:11:01.430 protect the right to. 0:11:01.500 --> 0:11:03.960 Becerra is one of these guys that looks better with glasses. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:08.250 He really shouldn't take them off. I don't know why 0:11:08.290 --> 0:11:11.220 that is, but he doesn't look right without glasses. 0:11:12.580 --> 0:11:12.860 Vote. 0:11:13.260 --> 0:11:16.500 At the Japanese Cultural Center in Little Tokyo, the voter 0:11:16.620 --> 0:11:20.410 ID measure, Prop 39, was compared to the internment of 0:11:20.490 --> 0:11:22.710 Japanese Americans during World War II. 0:11:23.050 --> 0:11:24.569 Okay, that might be. 0:11:26.990 --> 0:11:30.690 The most hyperbolic thing I've ever heard. We're going to 0:11:30.730 --> 0:11:34.010 take a measure that would have you show your ID 0:11:34.070 --> 0:11:36.550 or put in your last four digits of your social 0:11:36.590 --> 0:11:41.380 or your driver's license to vote to interning the Japanese 0:11:41.460 --> 0:11:44.540 in world war two. You know what was like a 0:11:44.580 --> 0:11:47.260 Japanese internment camp? What's that? 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.200 The Hudson hotel in New York city where CNN used 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:51.500 to put me up sometimes. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.340 Not going to touch that one with a 10-foot pole. 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:00.600 Arcona Nolan with the story. 0:12:03.820 --> 0:12:06.710 It was all the heavyweights of the California Democratic Party, 0:12:06.770 --> 0:12:08.290 the L.A. County Federation of Labor. 0:12:08.330 --> 0:12:11.590 Now, wait a minute. I don't see Katie Porter there. 0:12:12.690 --> 0:12:13.570 Katie's not there. 0:12:14.770 --> 0:12:16.910 Katie was probably in the green room at CNN. 0:12:19.179 --> 0:12:27.390 They said all the heavyweights. And don't even pretend like 0:12:27.410 --> 0:12:30.530 you didn't hear it. He didn't stutter and you're not deaf. 0:12:30.550 --> 0:12:37.030 I'm just going to move on from that one. 0:12:37.050 --> 0:12:38.359 Good. 0:12:38.660 --> 0:12:39.780 The teachers union. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.000 Reject this out white racism. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.020 Did he say out white racism? 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:44.620 Yep. 0:12:45.340 --> 0:12:46.830 Not an English teacher, I take it. 0:12:47.460 --> 0:12:52.890 Also, Johnny, I'm not a political wizard. I didn't study 0:12:52.910 --> 0:12:56.670 this in school like you did. How is voter ID racist? 0:13:00.130 --> 0:13:02.349 They don't like it because they think it's going to 0:13:02.390 --> 0:13:06.150 be bad for their side. They claim that fraud doesn't exist, 0:13:06.490 --> 0:13:09.630 but anytime you want to put guardrails up, they oppose them. 0:13:09.980 --> 0:13:15.160 What does that tell you? But how are the guardrails racist? 0:13:16.460 --> 0:13:21.040 I just don't understand the connection there. Because it makes 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:21.900 no sense. 0:13:22.970 --> 0:13:26.490 Tax on working people and poor people masquerading as common 0:13:26.550 --> 0:13:27.610 sense laws. 0:13:27.950 --> 0:13:28.190 U.S. 0:13:28.250 --> 0:13:29.570 Senator Alex Padilla. 0:13:30.090 --> 0:13:32.930 Californians are once again going to stand up, going to 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.020 show up, going to vote no on Prop 39. 0:13:36.020 --> 0:13:39.020 36 states have some form of voter ID law, but 0:13:39.059 --> 0:13:39.939 not California. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:41.600 So are 36 states racist? 0:13:43.179 --> 0:13:45.280 Is it racist when you go to the airport and 0:13:45.300 --> 0:13:48.170 you have to show your ID? And not just any ID, 0:13:48.210 --> 0:13:50.750 by the way, a real ID to get on the airplanes. 0:13:51.929 --> 0:13:55.500 Is it racist when you rent a hotel room that 0:13:55.510 --> 0:13:57.820 you have to show picture ID before they'll give you 0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:58.280 the key? 0:13:59.620 --> 0:14:01.540 Is it racist that you got to show ID when 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:06.100 you go to the liquor store? It's a strange one. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.280 Prop 39 would change that. Voters would need to show 0:14:10.330 --> 0:14:13.910 a government identification in order to cast a ballot. Mail-in 0:14:13.950 --> 0:14:16.329 ballots would need the last four digits of either a 0:14:16.410 --> 0:14:18.790 driver's license or social security number. 0:14:18.970 --> 0:14:20.390 That seems pretty common sense. 0:14:20.860 --> 0:14:22.860 Just to verify that you are who you are. 0:14:23.940 --> 0:14:27.100 County registrars would be required to yearly purge voting rolls 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:28.920 of those who have moved or died. 0:14:29.090 --> 0:14:31.510 That would be nice, because I'm sure you remember when 0:14:31.530 --> 0:14:34.330 we covered Prop 50 in the special election last year, 0:14:34.830 --> 0:14:38.050 somebody got a ballot mailed to their house from a 0:14:38.130 --> 0:14:42.690 registered voter that was a woman that died 30 years ago. 0:14:43.750 --> 0:14:47.980 When I owned my house, my first house, I owned 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:53.860 it from 2014 to 2022. Before I purchased that house, 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:57.620 it was vacant for a full year. I received a 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.920 ballot for the person who lived there before me for 0:15:00.940 --> 0:15:03.190 the entire duration that I owned that house. 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:09.290 And use best practices to determine citizenship. Behind the measure, 0:15:09.410 --> 0:15:13.030 a group called Reform California. Its leader, San Diego Assemblyman 0:15:13.070 --> 0:15:16.360 Carl DeMaio, says the effort is to restore confidence in 0:15:16.380 --> 0:15:17.220 the voting system. 0:15:17.340 --> 0:15:20.000 For folks that are sick and tired of the conspiracy 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.080 theories or sick and tired of people saying, oh, the 0:15:23.140 --> 0:15:23.960 election is rigged. 0:15:24.500 --> 0:15:26.990 Then give those people what they've been asking for. 0:15:27.010 --> 0:15:28.830 Give them voter ID and it will shut them up. 0:15:28.950 --> 0:15:32.670 But Democrats claim Prop 39 itself would rig the system, 0:15:33.050 --> 0:15:35.290 saying the measure targets black and brown voters. 0:15:35.350 --> 0:15:41.130 Well, isn't that racist? And isn't the argument against it racist? 0:15:41.190 --> 0:15:44.310 Saying that, well, you can't have voter ID because black 0:15:44.350 --> 0:15:46.670 and brown people are too stupid to get IDs. 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.680 Did you ever see the conversation? I think it was 0:15:49.740 --> 0:15:53.590 back when he was lieutenant governor. When Gavin Newsom went 0:15:53.650 --> 0:15:59.590 on Adam Carolla's podcast, and Gavin Newsom essentially said that, 0:16:00.670 --> 0:16:04.320 I think it was regarding banking, that blacks and browns 0:16:04.430 --> 0:16:07.740 can't figure out how to get a bank account. So 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.380 anything that requires them to get a bank account is 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:11.740 fundamentally racist. 0:16:12.780 --> 0:16:14.260 My goodness. 0:16:15.460 --> 0:16:17.060 Might not have identification. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.700 Just like he's trying to decide who gets to be 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.960 an American and who doesn't. He's trying to decide who 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.000 gets to vote and who doesn't. 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.900 Also, I'm going to point this out because Ashley Zavala 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:31.960 will be pointing it out over and over again, the 0:16:31.980 --> 0:16:35.520 best fact checker in the business here. They're going to 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.120 do everything they can to tie this to the SAVE 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.500 Act and Trump and the federal government. Trump hasn't said 0:16:41.540 --> 0:16:43.680 a damn thing about Prop 39. I don't think he 0:16:43.740 --> 0:16:47.560 knows what Prop 39 is, but doesn't matter. That's the strategy. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.490 No, he has bigger fish to fry in Iran right now. 0:16:51.260 --> 0:16:52.540 Yeah, can we end that war already? 0:16:53.430 --> 0:16:56.820 Prop 39 is separate from President Trump's Save America Act, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.700 which would require voters to re-register with proof of citizenship. 0:17:01.220 --> 0:17:04.220 But Democrats clearly want to tie the measure to the president, 0:17:04.500 --> 0:17:06.980 who has lost each of his presidential races in the 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.709 state by landslide numbers. Gubernatorial candidate Javier Becerra. See, he 0:17:11.750 --> 0:17:13.290 looks way better with glasses. 0:17:14.609 --> 0:17:15.129 Much better. 0:17:17.250 --> 0:17:19.950 Prop 39 is Donald Trump on the ballot. 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.610 That's the only thing that guy knows how to do, 0:17:25.770 --> 0:17:26.719 that and to scrub it. 0:17:27.710 --> 0:17:31.750 Seriously, if he wins by a large margin and that's 0:17:31.770 --> 0:17:35.990 his campaign, scrub it, I'm embarrassed for this state. Well, 0:17:36.030 --> 0:17:41.560 because he has no substance. He has no policies. He 0:17:41.650 --> 0:17:45.780 is the emptiest suit that I've ever seen in Sacramento politics. 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.820 We are going to vote against Donald Trump's Prop 39 0:17:49.820 --> 0:17:53.640 on November the 3rd. NBC political analyst Guy Mazzarotti says 0:17:53.700 --> 0:17:55.119 it's a wise strategy. 0:17:55.580 --> 0:17:59.270 This is taking place alongside this national debate. President Donald 0:17:59.290 --> 0:18:01.150 Trump pushing for nationwide. 0:18:01.369 --> 0:18:01.609 All right. 0:18:01.970 --> 0:18:03.710 I don't mean to do this and I don't want 0:18:03.730 --> 0:18:08.230 to be mean, but sometimes if you just take the razor, 0:18:08.250 --> 0:18:11.070 you can get that little spot in between the eyebrows. 0:18:12.270 --> 0:18:22.790 Guy Mazzarotti. Guy's got a unibrow. It could be Guy Altima. 0:18:24.650 --> 0:18:27.510 Well, let's see if that's what was in the parking lot, 0:18:27.550 --> 0:18:27.950 shall we? 0:18:28.690 --> 0:18:32.630 That was an Altima, A-L-T-M-A, 4899410. 0:18:36.220 --> 0:18:38.550 Please move it now. You're blocking someone. 0:18:39.230 --> 0:18:43.290 Voter ID tying it to his claims about election fraud. 0:18:43.609 --> 0:18:47.449 Prop 39 will get tied into that national conversation. And 0:18:47.470 --> 0:18:48.850 that's a challenge for supporters. 0:18:48.869 --> 0:18:52.030 Which is funny because if you poll people on just 0:18:52.130 --> 0:18:55.670 what Prop 39 is, they're like, yeah, that makes sense. 0:18:56.990 --> 0:19:00.730 Californians could be potentially disenfranchised by a voter ID law. 0:19:00.770 --> 0:19:03.609 Senator Padilla said he didn't know, but if it's just 0:19:03.670 --> 0:19:06.600 a few dozen, that's still too many. I'm Conan Nolan, 0:19:06.710 --> 0:19:07.629 NBC4 News. 0:19:08.190 --> 0:19:12.740 So there you go. The organization, the opposition against Prop 0:19:12.740 --> 0:19:18.500 39 has begun, and it's led by Padilla and this guy. 0:19:18.700 --> 0:19:19.220 Scrub it. 0:19:20.180 --> 0:19:21.980 If you want to email the show, you can do 0:19:22.060 --> 0:19:29.420 so at johnnydontlikeshow at gmail.com.

Accountability, accountability, accountability. John Morgan has some real 0:20:51.300 --> 0:20:56.160 insight into the psyche behind the billionaire tax, Gavin's political chances, Pelosi. 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.080 It's all there. So when we sign off at three, 0:20:59.420 --> 0:21:04.080 check it out. JohnnyDon'tLike.com. Johnny don't like.com. You can also 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.260 listen by searching for the accountability podcast, wherever you get 0:21:07.300 --> 0:21:09.280 your podcast, but YouTube is the way to go. And 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.659 those are the numbers that we're eventually trying to sell. 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.790 So let's get those numbers up people because, uh, well, 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:17.869 it's expensive to live down here now that I can 0:21:17.910 --> 0:21:18.610 go out at night. 0:21:20.010 --> 0:21:22.290 And next week we're going to the universal Hilton. 0:21:22.770 --> 0:21:26.410 Somebody wrote in the chat. Accountability is racist. Uh, uh, 0:21:28.900 --> 0:21:32.000 We're going to Over the Edge at the Universal Hilton 0:21:32.020 --> 0:21:35.310 for the third year in a row. The Union Rescue Mission, 0:21:35.350 --> 0:21:38.149 which does incredible work. We wish they were funded better, 0:21:38.230 --> 0:21:40.490 but the city doesn't like to fund them. That's why 0:21:40.570 --> 0:21:42.950 people fund them, and that's why they hold fundraisers like 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:46.940 Over the Edge, where if you want to fundraise and participate, 0:21:46.980 --> 0:21:53.109 go to urm.org.ote.
