Matt FultonHOST
Well, for the benefit of listeners, please can you just tell us a little bit about yourself?
Gil DuranGUEST
Well, my name is Gil Duran, and I am a journalist who spent a lot of my career in politics as an advisor to people like Kamala Harris and Jerry Brown, the governor of California, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and then returned to journalism, which was where I started my career in the late 90s in Silicon Valley at the San Jose Mercury News.
Gil DuranGUEST
In 2018, I left behind my consulting to go back to being a scribe and been doing that ever since and fell into the interesting world of tech politics a few years ago when venture capitalists launched efforts to take over the city government of San Francisco.
Gil DuranGUEST

Arthur LafferGUEST
Now, if you do a broad tax base across the board, if you really did the one like I did for Jerry Brown, you wouldn't even have to file a tax return.
Arthur LafferGUEST
Because there are no deductions, no exemptions, no exclusions, no credits, no write-offs, no omissions, none of that, and you just...
Arthur LafferGUEST
If you earned 100 pounds, the government would set, would g- the company would give you 87 pounds and send 13 pounds, uh, i- into, into the government there for revenue.
Larry ElderGUEST
But if you go back at the history, 1964, Barry Goldwater ran against Lyndon Johnson.
Larry ElderGUEST
And at the convention, the then governor of California, Jerry Brown's father, said, the stench of fascism is in the air.
Larry ElderGUEST
They said the whole same thing about Ronald Reagan.
Larry ElderGUEST
There was a congressman from Ronald Reagan who said, Ronald Reagan gets his racist precepts from the pages of Mein Kampf.
Will SwaimHOST
We just need a little bit of emergency money, let's raise that top level.
Will SwaimHOST
What it really did was create the predicate for the follow-on four years later in 2016 under Jerry Brown, we get it again.
Will SwaimHOST
I'm sorry, it's a 2018.
Will SwaimHOST
It's renewed again by Californians.
Zak PaineHOST
I'd like to know what Arnold's connections are to him outside of this one relationship.
Zak PaineHOST
That was actually then renewed four years later by a commie by the name of Jerry Brown.
Zak PaineHOST
With many social networking resources in both the U.S. and China and many, many years in experience in government, business, and social communities, I won't hesitate if the U.S. federal government chooses to use me for something in the future.
Zak PaineHOST
That was Yin himself speaking with the China Daily newspaper.

David FentonHOST
I think they're going to keep losing until they do.
David FentonHOST
In your history, you worked for some of these people.
David FentonHOST
You were a reporter, and then Jerry Brown hired you to work with him as mayor of Oakland and governor of California.
David FentonHOST
You've worked for Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Charity DeanGUEST
Uh, that kind of humility to the decision-makers, which I am not today.
Charity DeanGUEST
I am not an appointed official by Governor Newsom or by Governor Brown, um, but I serve those who are, who, who are.
Charity DeanGUEST
So my job is to give them the tools and intelligence so that they can make those decisions.
Charity DeanGUEST
That's why I paused at your question.
Beowulf RocklinHOST
The union, which represents a wide variety of state employees, has never gone on strike against the state of California.
Beowulf RocklinHOST
Its members last authorized a strike in 2016 amid negotiations with then-Governor Jerry Brown, going so far as calling a one-day strike before calling off the work stoppage at the last moment.
Beowulf RocklinHOST
More good news for lefties in a minute.

Hanging out at the pool is great.
Tony FletcherGUEST
I secured an interview with the Dead Kennedys, whose first single had served revelatory notice that there was Gasp, a punk rock scene in America other than New York.
Tony FletcherGUEST
That single, California Uber Alice, with its attacks on a Governor Jerry Brown, was obviously a protest song, and presumably on the right side of that protest, i.e. the left.
Tony FletcherGUEST
But there was no need to study its lyrics in intense detail.
Tony FletcherGUEST
There was quite enough intensity in the music and the high-pitched wail of lead singer Jello Biafra.
