Reed, Nutter, and Platt delve into the surprising skill all good leaders really need, then welcome Mayor Schaaf to talk about her secrets to successfully moving Oakland forward.

Former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and Larry Platt will dive into the mastery of urban leadership

Libby Schaaf is about to complete her second and final term as mayor of Oakland. Unlike a lot of other political jobs, as Willie Brown once said, mayors are judged by results. When Schaaf took office in 2014, Barack Obama was still president. Today, she presides over a very different city. Homelessness, a new baseball stadium, the creation of a whole new neighborhood, police reform, and the potential for gentrification were not as front and center then as they are today. In this week's podcast, she talks about the changes and how she thinks she's fared.

The second half of our interview with former Oakland Councilmember Ignacio De La Fuente includes his stated interest in running for Oakland mayor in 2022. "Why not give it one last shot? I have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, so I will have the freedom to f--cking blow this sh-t up and rebuild." he says. In addition, he details his advocacy for A's great Ricky Henderson to run for the same seat, and IDLF's further insights on Oakland city politics.

This week...we did what we do every week...enjoy!

Trump to impose tariffs on imported steel (25%) and aluminum (10%). Tariffs used in US history as means to fund government, but now we rely on incomeFree markets vs protecting the American worker. Do free market principles different between local and international businesses? A trade war to result? Political ramifications of this. Appeal to Reagan Democrats / Blue Dog Democrats, who have essentially been abandoned by the Democrat Party. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf alerts illegal aliens in her city of an imminent ICE operation. Obstruction of justice? In some states, you can't flash your headlights at oncoming traffic to warn them of the presence of a patrol officer. She just alerted an entire city with impunity. Chuck Schumer opposes a Trump judiciary nominee because, wait for it, he's white. Superficial Left is at it again. Who is the Party who gave us 4 old white guys and a Clinton in 2016? This is so stupid. No time to talk about a few other issues I'd like to discuss.
