After six years of service, San Francisco Mayor London Breed is set to depart from City Hall. After a defeat at the polls this November, the Fillmore native will be succeeded by millionaire philanthropist, Daniel Lure. But Breed says she's still coming out a winner, and says it has been a privilege to have served San Francisco as mayor. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising spoke with San Francisco Mayor, London Breed.

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors has overturned a controversial policy put forward by Mayor London Breed that would have helped move some RVs and campers off of city streets. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

A few other California cities are duplicating San Francisco's tactic to merely hand the homeless a one-way bus ticket out of town, not because it's proven to be a particularly effective strategy, but more because it's just cheap and easy. The San Francisco strategy to put a dent in the homeless population by just handing unsheltered people a one-way bus ticket out of town has been around for about 20 years (one shelter resident described it to the Examiner in 2016, as the “Get your ass out of here” program). But the SF Board of Supervisors expanded the program earlier this year, and then Mayor London Breed made it a centerpiece of her major encampment crackdown this summer. Breed's policy shift this past summer, rather controversially, was to offer the bus ticket out of town before offering the person a shelter bed. Breed's encampment crackdown may not have saved her politically, but the idea of just handing the homeless a one-way ticket out of town seems to be catching on among other California big-city mayors. CalMatters reports that multiple other California cities are trying new programs to bus unsheltered people out of town. “Reconnecting people living on the streets with family members or loved ones who want to care for them is just common sense,” San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan told CalMatters. “It's the least expensive, most impactful program we could launch.” We mention San Jose, as CalMatters notes that city has budgeted $200,000 to start their own busing program this coming February. And yes, $200,000 is darned cheap for a government program. CalMatters adds that Sacramento County had a similar program, but discontinued it because it was so little-used. The City of Los Angeles does not have a formal busing program, but some nonprofits in that city run their own, shipping a few hundred people out of town per year.

Join us for a heart-to-heart talk with Jeanine Nicholson, the first out LGBTQ chief of the San Francisco Fire Department, who retired in August. We'll hear about her pathbreaking career, her thoughts on the current political scene, and learn about breaking barriers while in the public eye. After our talk, stick around for a wine reception. Jeanine Nicholson retired in 2024 after 30 years in the San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD), five of which she spent as chief. She began her career in 1994 as a firefighter EMT and over the years became a firefighter paramedic, lieutenant, captain, battalion chief and deputy chief prior to her appointment as chief by Mayor London Breed in May 2019. Chief Nicholson was the first out LGBTQ Chief in SFFD history. Chief Nicholson led the department through the COVID pandemic and economic downturn. She established a safety, health and wellness office for her members, emphasized the importance of mental and physical wellbeing and expanded resources in the Behavioral Health Unit. She also led the department's campaign to remove PFAS from firefighter gear while a deputy chief and continued her advocacy while chief. She is a breast cancer survivor and spent time teaching cancer prevention across the country to the fire service. She oversaw the procurement of land and development of plans for a new SFFD training facility. She took on the autonomous vehicle companies that were operating in San Francisco without regulations or limitations and successfully advocated for public safety as a priority in their deployment. Under Chief Nicholson's leadership, community paramedicine expanded to meet the social and behavioral needs on the street. This programming became a model for agencies across the country, as an alternative to policing and emergency room overcrowding. During her tenure, she established a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Office. She emphasized equity in department processes and hired more than 640 new SFFD members. Nicholson established a program and partnership with community called City EMT for at-risk youth. The program includes an EMT class and wrap-around services and culminates with an opportunity to apply for a paid internship on an ambulance in the SFFD. The SFFD has offered approximately 25 percent of graduates a full time career. Those are a lot of accomplishments during her career. Come find out how and why she did it.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Bad signs for Democrats 1 There are LOTS of bad signs for Democrats and their minions. If they are crying now, I say them this is only the beginning. They are about to get CRUSHED under the weight of Hurricane MAGA and the mandate of Americans. We lived under pure tyranny for 4 years, and prior to Trump 8 years under Obama. America asked for Obama, then soundly rejected him and his policies in 2016. Then in 2020 the cabal gave America the finger. Well in 2024 we gave them the fist! Listen to the media tell all that they fear about Trump. And as you listen tell me if they didn't do almost everything they fear?   [X] SB – Media on 2nd Trump term Mexico/Canada…annex Shoot visitors to the WH Violence like J6 Illegal to run against him Throw them in jail, persecute the media Rewrite the constitution Sent jail, minority groups, assassinate generals Ordering troops to attack citizens His base will try to kill people Take away your vote Senate and House paralyzed End of democracy Destruction of the DOJ; entirely transformed Everybody in the coup elevated Persecute enemies LGBTQ Last election Tear down our institution Purge the government of employees Use the military to squash protest Stay in office forever  [SEGMENT 2-2] Bad signs for Democrats 2   [X] SB – Jimmy Kimmel it's a terrible night Terrible night, women children immigrants science justice seniors allies NATO democracy decency   Yes, the Democrats got shellacked in the last election. And while that's a breath of fresh air, it's hardly the only sign that the political winds are changing. Let's dive into some of the “bad omens” for the Left that even they can't spin positively. Sign #1: Target Brings Back “Merry Christmas” Remember the days when retailers greeted us with “Happy Holidays” as if to tiptoe around the obvious? This year, Target's shelves are shamelessly decked with signs that say “Merry Christmas.” Maybe it's a minor detail, but it's clear: in retail at least, the “woke Christmas” is out and tradition is back in style. Is this a Targeted pivot away from Leftist culture wars? Sign #2: Barack Obama Goes Silent In a true sign of the times, Barack Obama has gone radio silent. Apparently, he's been avoiding the media since Election Day. Maybe he's hiding out with fellow critics who seem to have slithered down into their usual rat holes. Could it be that they're nursing bruises from the political ass-kicking of a lifetime? Or perhaps the Obamas joined all those celebrities who threatened to leave the country if Trump go re-elected? Regardless, if Obama and his ilk are smart, they have assessed their real political power and figured out that they have none. It's probably best that they sit things out for a while. Sign #3: Democrats Lose Their “Poop Map” Mayor London Breed like crapped her jeans as she lost to Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie. Breed, whose tenure began in 2017 brought sky-high crime and deteriorating quality of life so much so that one of America's most iconic cities became known for its "poop maps". These were given to tourist to guide them away from the rough areas of San Fran where vagrants were known to take a dump openly in the streets. The Chamber of Commerce should be beaming, as they can stop that BYO Poop Bag initiative planned for 2025. I'd wish Daniel Lurie luck, but the only direction for this city with London Breed gone is up. Sign #4: Harris's Campaign Debt Dilemma Barack Obama once declared, “Elections have consequences.” And Kamala Harris is learning the hard way. With her $20 million debt and over $1.6 billion spent, she's left looking like the Welfare Queen of campaigns. Perhaps the optics would be less tragic if she had something to show for it, other than a spectacular loss and a tab bigger than California's state debt. Sign #5: “Tampon Tim” Can't Even Hold His Own District Kamala's running mate, Tim Walz, lost his own district to Trump. So much for the Democratic power couple; Tampon Tim couldn't even hold his home turf. But hey, he still made a great addition to Harris's sinking ship. Beta males don't make good marketers to real men, for the record. Sign #6: Jack Smith Backpedals on Prosecuting Trump Jack Smith is backing off the Trump charges, citing “the technicality of prosecuting a sitting president.” Is he serious? If you believe that, I have a “winning strategy” from Kamala's campaign to sell you. My bet? Jack's future looks pretty dim. He's seeing the writing on the wall and realizing no sunglasses are going to help with the glare from this MAGA hurricane.  [SEGMENT 2-3] Dem influencer lament 1 Elections have consequences. So do actions. And Democrats pushed America way too far. For many of us, the next 4 years are super important. Because we have more years behind than we do ahead. So we will relish this win as we should. Because while the win is for us and feels good, the real win is for America and our children and grandchildren. Few realize how important this win was, because no child should experience the political fear we have over the past few elections. But now is our time to truly right the ship. A Democrat “influencer” and his ilk are finally experiencing what I've been experiencing for over a decade. Listen to him explain what's happening to them. [X] SB – Dem influencer Lost 5000 subscribers Never go down, they go up; All hemorrhaging subscribers; record cancellations of paid memberships The importance of influence  [SEGMENT 2-4] Dem influencer lament 2 [X] SB – Jimmy Kimmel crying The View says that Trump will take them off the air. Really? The thing that will take The View off the air is the viewpoint of the women on The View. Listen as one woman tries to help them make sense of their loss, but they are having none of it. [X] SB – The View The way that the Left speaks to its voters…like joy and inclusiveness They need to be introspective      Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Daniel Lurie, the nonprofit founder and Levi Strauss heir who ran one of the most expensive races for mayor in modern city history, will succeed London Breed as the next mayor of San Francisco. Lurie ran as the only major candidate without experience in city hall — and that outsider message resonated with voters.

Guest: Matt MacInnis, COO of RipplingOne of the most important things a non-founder can do, says Rippling COO Matt MacInnis, is to learn how to operate in the context of the company they're joining. His CEO, Parker Conrad, “spikes” in certain skill areas, and the rest of the executive team needs to maximize his ability to thrive while “taking care of the rest of it.” Matt likened the work to being a hobbyist airplane pilot, who can't get a license without knowing all the minute details about their plane's engine and aerodynamics. “You can't be a good pilot if you don't understand the engine, because if something goes wrong, you want to be able to troubleshoot it,” he says. “An executive coming in to fly your airplane better learn the engine.”Chapters:(01:08) - Telling Rippling's story (04:27) - Founding & failing at Inkling (09:30) - Different types of hard (13:55) - Discipline and stamina (15:22) - Meeting with Steve Jobs (19:20) - Definitely, give up!

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Aaron talks about volunteering at a nonprofit in The City called the Trust for Public Land, where he learned about land acquisition for parks and open spaces. Through that gig, he got a paid internship and eventually, a job. In fact, he met Nancy, the woman he would later marry, there. He eventually moved into Nancy's apartment in North Beach, his first apartment in SF. The move came shortly after the couple visited Nepal to climb in the Himalayas. It was October 1989, when the Loma Prieta earthquake happened.   We fast-forward to 2000, the year I moved to San Francisco. I set the stage for my first brush with Aaron at this point in the recording. My first apartment was on California Street near Larkin. The cable car runs on that block. One day, still very new in The City, I spotted a politician on a cable car campaigning. Back then, I had no idea what the Board of Supervisors was. But lo and behold, it was Aaron Peskin, campaigning for his first term on the Board.   Aaron then tells the story from his point of view, backing up just a few years.   In his time at the Trust for Public Land, he worked with elected officials often. He learned his way around Sacramento and DC. But more pertinent to this story, Aaron also worked with a North Beach tree-planting organization—Friends of the Urban Forest, in fact—and the Telegraph Hill Dwellers to be specific. The work involved getting volunteers together, convincing folks who'd lived in the neighborhood for decades to plant trees on the sidewalks in front of their houses.   It was the late-Nineties. The first dotcom boom was still happening. Willie Brown was at the height of his mayoral power. Chain stores were trying their hardest to move into North Beach. Aaron remembered that he knew the mayor from his work with the trust, and got a meeting with Brown. He brought several disparate groups together with the mayor. Brown told Peskin, "If you don't like the way I run this town, why don't you run for office?"   From that dismissive comment, Aaron got involved in the upstart mayor campaign, in 1999, of Supervisor Tom Ammiano. Through this, he met many folks from many grassroots and neighborhood organizations. Ammiano, a write-in candidate, forced a December runoff, which he lost to Willie Brown. But the experience transformed Aaron Peskin.   Ammiano urged Aaron to run for the DCCC shortly after the election. Looking over what he'd already accomplished, he ran and got a seat on the committee. It was March 2000. That fall would see the resumption of supervisor district elections, vs. at-large contests where the top-11 vote-getters won seats on the Board that had been in place since 1980. Again, Ammiano nudged Aaron to run for the newly created District 3 supervisor seat. He thought, Why not try once?   He won the seat. Aaron credits campaign volunteers with earning that victory. He ended up serving two four-year terms as the D3 supervisor.   We fast-forward a bit through those eight years. Highlights include Matt Gonzalez's run for mayor in 2003, Aaron's dive into areas of public policy he had been uneducated on prior to his time in office, and bringing people together to get stuff done.   I ask Aaron if it's all ever overwhelming. He says yes, and rattles off the various ways—hiking, canoeing, yoga— he deals with that. We talk about his addiction to alcohol as well, something he's kicked for the last three years.   Aaron was termed out in 2008, and says he saw it as the end of a chapter of his life. He ran for the DCCC again, where he won a seat and was the chair of that group from 2008–2012. He helped get out the vote for Barack Obama in 2008, working to send volunteers to Nevada. After 2012, he figured he was totally finished with politics. He went back to the Trust for Public Land. But then a funny thing happened.   Aaron's chosen successor for D3 supervisor, David Chiu, won the seat and took over after Aaron was termed out in 2008. Then, in 2014, Chiu ran for an California Assembly seat and won. Then-Mayor Ed Lee appointed Julie Christensen. A special election in late-2015 saw Peskin run against Christensen, mostly at the urging of Rose Pak. He won that election, as well as the "normal" district election the following year. By the end of this year, he'll be termed out again.   Highlights of Aaron's second stint on the Board of Supervisors, for him, include: He's become the senior member of the Board, having served with 42 different other members. He's also come to relish the role of mentor for new supervisors. He goes over a litany of other legislation he's either written or helped to get passed   Moving forward to the issues of today and Aaron's run for mayor, he starts by praising the Board and the Mayor's Office for coming together to deal with COVID. Then he talks about ways that he and Mayor London Breed have worked together in their times in office.   And then we get into Aaron's decision, which he announced this April, to run for mayor. It was a love for The City and the people who live here. It was a lack of what he deems "real choices" in the race. But it was also what Aaron and many others, including myself, see as a billionaire-funded, ultra-conservative attempt to take over politics in San Francisco. It all added up to something he felt he had to do.   Aaron says that, unlike his first run for supervisor, when it comes to his candidacy for mayor, he's "in it to win it."   We recorded this podcast at Aaron Peskin for Mayor HQ in July 2024.   Photography by Jeff Hunt

Mayor London Breed is a lifelong resident of San Francisco, and her tenure as mayor has tracked the boom/bust cycle of the city. When she came to office in 2018, the city was enjoying a robust economy. In 2020, the pandemic emptied out downtown and put San Francisco on shaky footing from which it is still recovering. In her run for re-election, Breed contends that with another term she can lead San Francisco back to firmer ground. In the first of our interviews with the five major candidates in the San Francisco mayor's race, we talk to Breed about her record, her campaign, and her hopes for the city. Guests: London Breed, Mayor, City and County of San Francisco

But there's a lot more to this one than meets the eye, affecting multiple layers of the City's always complicated politics. We are talking about Proposition H, on the November ballot, which would allow San Francisco firefighters to retire with their full pension at age 55 instead of 58. The firefighters' union says too many of them are developing cancer from decades of on-the-job exposure, and allowing them to retire three years sooner will reduce that risk and save lives. Sounds straightforward enough, and most voters will probably be sympathetic enough to a campaign featuring heroic firefighters getting cancer. But the city controller and Mayor London Breed say lowering the retirement age will cost the City many millions of dollars a year in additional pension costs, and that will balloon over time, and cash-strapped San Francisco just can't afford that. So the firefighters union is going all out on this one, dropping its past support of Mayor Breed, and launching a $1.2 million dollar local ad buy today, which we were able to report exclusively on KCBS.

Candidates running for Mayor of San Francisco met last night for the latest debate, but one big name was missing from the stage. For more, KCBS Radio anchors Margie Shafer and Eric Thomas spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

It's time for our daily chat with KCBS Insider Phil Matier. Phil joins KCBS Radio's Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart to discuss the Mayoral debate tonight. All of the candidates running for Mayor of San Francisco are set to square off in a debate next hour, except for one. Mayor London Breed pulled out of the event last week, blaming one of the sponsors, the Examiner, for not keeping in touch with her campaign—saying she has other events already scheduled. The Examiner disputes that—claiming it has a chain of emails.

Today, Doug Sovern, KCBS political reporter and host of “The State, Of California,” joined KCBS Radio's Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart from the Merchant Exchange building in downtown San Francisco—the site of tonight's debate in the San Francisco Mayor's race. Four major candidates trying to unseat Mayor London Breed will face off in that showdown tonight, which you can see live on KPIX Channel 5 at 6:00.

San Francisco mayor London Breed grew up learning again and again about the dangers of drugs and addiction. She lived in public housing in the city in the 1980's and saw friends and family members in her community get hooked, get sick, and sometimes pass away. Fast forward to now, and San Francisco is seeing sky-high overdose numbers (though they're down a bit from last year), and the city has earned a reputation for being in disarray. Mayor London Breed faces a tough reelection campaign this fall, and this week on the show, she talks about the many different measures she and her administration are taking to address San Francisco's problems, and she shares some of the important life experiences that have informed her approach.  Podcast production by Anna Sale.
