1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: When you're ready to ride Metro, we want you to

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: know we're ready for you. Here are just a few

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: of the people at Metro to tell you how we're

00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: doing our part to keep riders safe. We're cleaning like

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: noble before half build greatly. You've found half Santiz, no mask,

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: no Metro need one. We have a few extras at Metro.

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: We're doing our part to keep the DC area moving.

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: Find out more at well mata dot com slash doing

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: our part. Hey, I got a proposition for you. We're

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna tell you how to vote on the props. It's

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: A and G extra large because four hours simply isn't enough.

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: This is armstrong and getty extra large. Just this kind

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: of California specific. We have this weird system in California

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: where the too much democracy is the problem. Voters get

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: to be misled by lying ads and go out and

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: change laws with just a majority rule, change dang old constitution,

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: and you end up with things like the freaking multi

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: gazillion dollar bullet train that will never happen anybody's lifetime.

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: So I hope this is interesting. It maybe as a

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: warning to your state to never do this. Yeah, Gary,

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Dietrich joins as scary as nonpartisan political analysts. Follow them

22

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: are are on the Twitter, Hello Gary, how are you? Sir? Hey,

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: good guys, And you know what it is. I can't

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: believe how many times we've done this, but there are

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: some real big measures on this year's California November. Here's

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: two things I think for people to keep in mind

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: from a national perspective, which I know you guys will appreciate.

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: One is so many times and Prop thirteen is probably

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: the most famous in this than legendary tax limitation measure,

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: which now we're gonna find one on this ballot, trying

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: to modify that. But those measures in California often often

33
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: have major skill over effects in other states down the

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: road who look at adopting knows as well. And then

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: one caveat to you know what, people pertibiously screwed up

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: California proposition process. There have been times when you know,

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: the taxpayers and citizenry at large have used the proposition

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: process to rein in no actions by their own legislature

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: or the governor that they Yeah, that's true. Gary, Although

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: the Great Joe getty unifying theory, which I'll write in

41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: a book someday, but I won't because I'm an underachiever.

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: Um is that in any open democratic process, those who

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: would gain the system get better and better at doing it,

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: to the point that they pervert the system almost beyond usefulness.

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: And while absolutely there are actually a couple of props,

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of just a couple. Um. Mostly it's

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: big money, powerful interests get the get all the signatures.

48
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: They they have rosy sounding names for these props and

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: great sounding descriptions, and then the descriptions and the voter

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: guides are often distorted. And wisely spend money on radio advertising.

51
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: Right that that part is very smart, But then the

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Secretary of State often prints misleading descriptions of them, and

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: it's just gotten perverted. To Jack's plank. Though they helped

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: keep angy on, youre but exactly amen to that, and

55
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: anything beyond that is really, you know, trivial. Alright, So

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: this is a real quick back into that. I think

57
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: it's important people to know. You guys really make out

58
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: to any points in a variety ways, and I do

59
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: think it's important for people to know and they probably

60
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: get this intuitively this year in California loan on this

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: one election cycle, hundreds hundreds and hundreds of millions of

62
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: dollars will be spent ping against our propositions. It really

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: is a big deal. Yeah, okay, So here's what I

64
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: have in mind, because there are a couple to three

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: that we probably ought to discuss so people understand what

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: they are. But the vast majority folks have emailed us,

67
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: tweeted at us, etcetera. They just want to know how

68
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: to vote. So we're gonna have Gary do a little

69
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: analysis for us on the line. Partisan analysis. You don't

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: mean how to get to the poll or how to

71
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: fill out their form, how to vote, No, no, how

72
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: they ought to vote on the propositions what they're should be.

73
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: So we'll have Gary do a little nonpartisan stuff and

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: then we'll get rid of him and I will just

75
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: freaking tell you how to vote. We'll tell you what's

76
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: clearly the right decision, the bone headed decision exactly exactly.

77
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Are you a good American or a communist? Yes? Yeah,

78
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: there you go. Well, I'm sure I'm sure that they

79
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: will know that everything that comes out of your mouth, Joe,

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: We absolutely, in the veracity will be on question. Hey,

81
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: I have two sources that I think are really going

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: to be helpful to people, and given the beginning of

83
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: the end uh, they don't want them involved with directly,

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: but they are nonpartisan, nonprofit sources that I think will

85
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: be valuable for people who want to drill down further

86
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: beyond their you know, ballot measure pamphlet they get from

87
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: the stage. So whenever you want to show those, well,

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: why don't you go ahead? People can jump them round

89
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: and down right now, although you're wasting your time just

90
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell them how to vote, but go ahead, Okay, well,

91
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: you know if any way you know question Joe's you know, authority, integrety.

92
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Here's what you want to do. This is this is

93
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: a good one cal matters dot org. I love cal

94
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: matters dot org. And here's the one I like about

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: this one, guys. It doesn't just have stuff on the

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: property positions, but it also has really good background ers

97
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: on the California House and legislative races, which is tough

98
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: to find in a lot of places. There's one for you.

99
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: The other onn is e A Choices dot organ. You

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: know it's both of these. Your daughter, so they're not

101
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: for profit enterities. See a choices dot org. And I

102
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: really like this one because it also includes two other

103
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: really important things. One for all the larger counties in California,

104
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: it's got your county ballot measures, which can be very significant,

105
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: as you know, in their own rights. There in all

106
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: kinds of other things. The other things got which is

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: really outstanding, and it said the most extensive one of

108
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: these lists I've ever seen is the folks who are

109
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: for and against. So they'll take a whole list of nonprofits,

110
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: a whole list of other energies, unions, et cetera, and

111
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: they will go through each one of these and you'll

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: see a massive grid of how each entity is stands

113
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: on each proposition. And that can be very very valuable.

114
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: You know, if you're for against you really don't like

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: the perspective on a certain group organization, this tell you

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: where they stand on every ballot measure. Yeah, I will

117
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: also tell you. I was on ballot pedia dot com.

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a dot com. I found that to

119
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: be very informative. All right, Gary, why don't you pick

120
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: pick one or two that you you want to talk

121
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: about you think people ought to understand. Yeah, well, I

122
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: think the two big ones, guys, if we're really to

123
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: pick out the two that have gotten the most attention

124
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: and are probably have the most long range impact, Let's

125
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: start with Prop fifteen the tax The Prop thirteen modification measure, though,

126
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: would significantly increase taxes on business. Now Prop thir team

127
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: is the legendary kindly sticking it to the millionaires and

128
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: billionaires who run the business is finally gone. Yeah, well

129
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: that includes you, Jack, Okay, So you know the the

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: important thing is for people who remember and this this

131
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: is amazing. Way back in Jerry Brown Euro one, back

132
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: in the late seventies or eight, Prop their team came

133
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: along that limited the ability of government to increase property

134
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: taxes on an annual basis a maximum increased per year

135
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: of two percent, regardless of how much the property value increased.

136
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: And of course, in a place that California in most

137
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: places put me every place in the state of California

138
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: property value has gone up way more than two percent

139
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: on an annual life basis. So this limited for both

140
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: homeowners and businesses, the annual increase in your property taxes

141
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: two percent. Now they has been talking about, guys, since

142
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: I came to the capitol over thirty years ago two

143
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: so called go to a split roll split roll tax

144
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: or hear that term a lot. It simply means that

145
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: we would treat homeowners the same as they all have

146
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: been has been since popped their team. But it would

147
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: move business owners off of that protected status um to

148
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: increase their taxes more substantially on the value of the

149
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: properties increase itself. Any size business like including a mom

150
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: and pop like coffee shop or something. Any business depends

151
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: if they own it the property. Yeah, that's a really

152
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: great question, Jack. And this is the limit that is

153
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: the one the part of it it's really debated about.

154
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: It limits the increase the change in prop their team

155
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: for businesses to those business owners that hold three million

156
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: dollars or more in commercial property. So the idea is

157
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: that real small business owners like you're talking about, Jack,

158
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: if you've got your little, you know, little tiny shot

159
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: that kind, if they're doing coffee, it would not change

160
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: those people's property taxes. However, and this is really an

161
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: important caveat if your business, like the one you're talking about, Jack,

162
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: is a fantasy average strip mall, right, and that strip

163
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: mall is valued at more than three million dollars, which

164
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: many many of them lawn California. Then, of course your

165
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: landlord who you rent or lease your coffee shop from,

166
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: is just going to eat the increase in taxes because

167
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: they're so wealthy, and they're gonna leave the rent the

168
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: same for all the tenants in the building. I understand. Yeah,

169
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: there you go, and people. If he didn't get sarcasm,

170
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: that was it. So here here's the deal. Um, that's

171
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: really important because it does mean that, you know, most

172
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: small businesses honestly are leasing or renting their their establishments.

173
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: They are not buying them. And so for those who

174
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: are in those kinds of entities I just talked about,

175
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: you know, their rents almost assuredly as you're alluding to,

176
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: Jack would go up. Yeah, getting to the you know,

177
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: getting to the because you're staying nonpartisan, getting to the

178
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: US telling you how to vote. Part. That's the great

179
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: lie in all this is the claiming that it's not

180
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: going to have any effect on that, you know, the

181
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: little mom and pop shop they're running for somebody there.

182
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: It's not going No, of course, the guy who owns

183
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the man or woman who owns the giant building that's

184
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: running out to the skateboard shop, the coffee shop, the

185
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: yogurt place. Their taxes went up a lot. They're gonna

186
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: have to increase their rent obvious to cover their not

187
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: it would be insane, insane, insane to hammer California business

188
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: with a massive tax increase right now in the middle

189
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: of COVID. It would be practically suicidal. Uh. Yeah, you

190
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 1: make it a really important point there, Joe, Because the

191
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: thing about propositions that are very interesting is some the

192
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: timing of them is often as important as the content

193
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: of them. And so this of course was qualified for

194
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: the ballot long before any of us ever knew the

195
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: word COVID, and it was placed on the November ballot.

196
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 1: And it's often the case, it is very often the

197
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: case that measures that they were going to increase taxes

198
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: or something like that. You know, people wait if it's

199
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: an over session, they don't. They frequently, by the way,

200
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: will wait for these kind of things for general election

201
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: cycles rather than are off your every two for your

202
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: grouping a toial election cycles, because generally higher turnout, right,

203
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: much higher turnout for general lessons, and so people will

204
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: time the propositions accordingly. In any of that, here's the

205
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: bottom line it's guestimated that somewhere somewhere between ten and

206
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: twelve billion dollars would be the annual tax increase revenue.

207
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: The stated California because California doesn't take enough tax. Sorry, Gary,

208
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: pick another prop. Alright, so let's go to Prop twenty

209
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: two real quick, because this is the gig economy prop. Alright,

210
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: this is Uber Lift Door Dash. This one really does alongless.

211
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: This team, I believe, had very national implications. And the

212
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: bottom line is this. Whenever you call an uber or

213
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: lift driver, you are calling an independent contractor. They are

214
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: not an employee of the entity. They run their own

215
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: car shop. I mean they contract with that employer. They

216
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: get paid so much per ride or delivery, and that's

217
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: how it works. There's no benefits or or you know,

218
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: workers comp or things like that. Well, the state of

219
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: California took it upon itself to say, no, like many men,

220
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: that's not fair. He's driving your Uber and you're not

221
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: giving him health insurance is not fair man. So yes, Jack, So,

222
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: So what happened is they qualified them through legislation passed

223
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: by the state legisctature signed by Governor Newsom to make

224
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: all these people employees. So what did Luber and Lift do. Essentially,

225
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: I said, we are not going to follow the law.

226
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna file lawsuits on this, and by the way,

227
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: we are going to put a major measure on the

228
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: November ballot, basically a referendum on that law that would

229
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: do two things. Guys, this important. It would repeal that

230
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: in wid those independent contracts would not be required to

231
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: be employees. And it also puts in place some things

232
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: that would protect these independent contractors and provide for them

233
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: in new ways, like guarantee a certain minimum wage when

234
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: they're actually driving, not just waiting for give them some

235
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: subsidies for healthcare, give them workers. Are they So? How

236
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: is this how is this one worded? If I vote yes,

237
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: am I voting to continue to have UBER in the state?

238
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Or yeah? What what you're continue? What you're if you're

239
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: voting yes, Jack, what you can what you're doing is

240
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: saying these drivers can continue to be independent contracts, you know,

241
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: and you know, I think national implications for California on

242
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: this one, aside from the fact that it's ridiculous from

243
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: the standpoint of an individual driver getting to make that

244
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: decision with an employer and all that. Right, their adults

245
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: they can make that California will be the laughing stock

246
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: of the country when people start coming to California on

247
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: vacation or for conferences or for business and they land

248
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: at the airport and they have to take a freaking

249
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: old timy yellow cab because there's no Uber. I mean

250
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: everybody in the country will be aware. Oh my god,

251
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: you went to California. I know. Isn't it terrible how

252
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: they don't have Uber there anymore? Or door dash so

253
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't get anything to eat at the hotel. It

254
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: sucks well. Gary Dietrich is a non partisan political analysts.

255
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: You can follow him on Twitter at Gary Dietrich. Gary,

256
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: we appreciate the wisdom very much and thanks for turning

257
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: a sound to those websites c Choices dot orgon cal

258
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: Matters dot org. Thanks man, always a pleasure. Thanks. Have

259
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: you seen any polling on any of these? By the way,

260
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: even I know there's a pulling of like the Uber thing.

261
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: The prop twenty two is it's five to one or

262
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: four to one. Uber drivers are in favor of it.

263
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, yes, I want a flexible joke.

264
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: I want to drive six hours a week. That's why

265
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. I just I never know how informed

266
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: the public is. Like Prop sixteen, the idea of bringing

267
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: back racism to California, where you can determine things based

268
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: on race, I don't know how that's polling, right, Yeah,

269
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: i'd like to see that. So, um, we'll run through

270
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: these real quickly. If you're in a hurry, I will

271
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: tell you this. There's a question mark that restores voting

272
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: rights for persons on parole. That's up to you. It's

273
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: what you it's your opinion. I don't have a strong

274
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: opinion on that one. I don't think you ought to

275
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: lose your rights forever because you you make a mistake.

276
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: But they're on parole. Yeah, how about until you're off

277
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: parole you don't vote. That's fine with me. Yeah, um,

278
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: dur in fact, Yeah, that's that's a good point. Uh. Yeah,

279
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: it's it's once you're off parole you can vote. But

280
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: there is one yes, and that's twenty two one yes.

281
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: The rest are no. Most of them are f no.

282
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Would you say that in general, if you lean right,

283
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: you're a no vote on props. Yeah. A couple of exceptions, obviously,

284
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, in general, absolutely true. Yeah, twenty two is

285
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: the only yes because it restores freedom of employment. The

286
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: rest of them are tax increases, I mean properly teen

287
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: for instances. It lets children vote if they'll turn eighteen

288
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: in the next general election, lets them vote for primaries

289
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Seventeen year olds idiotic And you

290
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: know if that one passes, then they lower it to sixteen.

291
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. And there's the cash bail thing in

292
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: various consumer privacy laws. But they're all extremely problematic, and

293
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: they're often either wolves in sheep's clothing or they have

294
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: a stated purpose and fourteen pages in in the fine

295
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: print is something truly insidious. That's another way it's a

296
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: trojan horse. Is are there more more than one box

297
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: to vote for yes or no? Is there a hell

298
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: no and then half no? Right, I'd rather see my

299
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: sister a warhouse and my brother voting for this proposition. No,

300
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: there's just a yes and no no. So everything is

301
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: no except twenty two. Vote in good health, my friends,

302
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: extra large. When you're ready to ride Metro, we want

303
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: you to know we're ready for you. Here are just

304
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: a few of the people at Metro to tell you

305
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: how we're doing our part to keep riders safe. We're

306
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: cleaning like nevill before we half build it greatly. You've
