California lawmakers are returning to Sacramento from summer recess on Monday -- and a fight is already brewing over the future of the state's climate fund. Governor Gavin Newsom's administration has changed environmental rules to prevent higher gas prices. And that could lead to less money for affordable housing, transit and other projects to reduce carbon emissions. Reporter: Guy Marzorati, KQED The executive board of the California Democratic Party threw its support behind Proposition 40, the so-called billionaire's tax on the November ballot. If approved, the measure would impose a 5%, one-time tax on billionaires' assets to pay for healthcare. The CARE court mental health program has seen an increase in participation, according to officials in Los Angeles County. Reporter: Robert Garrova, LAist Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the 300th anniversary episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show!  Save time, money, and a state of mind with the 701x autonomous rancher. Plus, opening the border to Mexican cattle and the markets, what could happen. Join me Jeff “Tigger” Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew for this all-new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. 701X Autonomous Rancher The 701x Autonomous Rancher platform is transforming how cattle producers manage their operations by combining powerful herd management software with GPS-enabled smart ear tags and real-time livestock monitoring. Instead of relying on handwritten notes or time-consuming pasture checks, ranchers can monitor animal location, health, breeding activity, calving events, treatments, financial records, and pasture performance from a smartphone, tablet, or computer—even when working offline in a remote country. Solar-powered GPS tags with cellular and satellite connectivity help keep producers connected to their herd regardless of pasture location, while automated alerts and detailed reporting provide the data needed to make faster, more profitable management decisions. Designed for both commercial cow-calf producers and registered seedstock operations, the 701x Autonomous Rancher is helping modern ranches reduce labor, improve efficiency, and put actionable data to work every day.  xTPro - GPS Ear Tag from 701x The xTpro tag gives ranchers the ability to monitor location, breeding, and health insights of their adult animals in their herd - and make faster, more informed management decisions with that data. Developed with feedback directly from ranchers, the xTpro tag features a two-pin design, solar powered battery, as well as cellular and satellite connection - eliminating all questions of durability, manual charging, and the need for expensive base stations for the xTpro tag to work. We also throw in our commercial Herd Management Software for up to 500 animals, free of charge.

John talks about CA Attorney General Rob Bonta's tinkering with the title and description of Proposition 39, the initiative requiring stronger citizenship verification for voting. It isn't just sneaky politics: it undercuts the whole structure of California's ballot initiative system. He digs into the history of the ballot initiative system, which was designed to help the people bypass entrenched elected officials—like Rob Bonta!

The plastic bag junkie. Why are porn sites suddenly so obsessed with trying to convince us we want to fuck grannies? I had a real internet cataclysm recently, and I want to publicly flog the creator of YouTube like they flog Mikey Burns in The Proposition. (And the owner of Celtx immediately after. Goodbye, dozens of scripts, shorts, etc) I had my first week back in the gym in a while, and it went about as pleasantly as you'd expect. I had quite a weekend of cavorting with Misters Bowers and Rocha, and I went to see Motor City so you don't have to. Lou from Sick Of It All died, and it's the saddest thing conceivable. (Several urban wild animals distracted the shit out of me this episode while I was sitting in my car, please forgive me)

National Review contends that Attorney General Rob Bonta is using the ballot-title process to weaken support for California's voter-ID initiative by framing it in negative terms. Supporters of Proposition 39 say the revised wording is biased and misleading, while Bonta's office maintains that the language is accurate, lawful, and intended to better inform voters about the proposal's effects. The Wall Street Journal's key takeaway is that Fauci's private journals reveal a more nuanced and uncertain picture of the pandemic than many public narratives suggested. The entries show uncertainty about COVID's origins, growing tension with President Trump, intense awareness of public attention directed at Fauci, and the extraordinary pressures involved in managing the nation's pandemic response. The journals are now fueling renewed political and scientific debate over how COVID-19 was handled and what government officials knew during the crisis.

California taxpayers are facing a daunting challenge: a state government that seems determined to raise their taxes, no matter the cost. On this episode of the Howard Jarvis Radio Show, host Susan Shelley and HJTA President Jon Coupal dive into the latest developments in California's tax landscape. From the proposed Local Taxpayer Protection Act to the ongoing saga of the High Speed Rail project, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of California's economy. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is fighting hard to protect taxpayers from the state's relentless pursuit of new revenue streams. With the November ballot looming, the stakes are high, and the association is working tirelessly to educate voters about the importance of Proposition 43, the Local Taxpayer Protection Act. This measure aims to restore the two-thirds vote requirement for local special taxes, a crucial safeguard against the kind of tax increases that have driven so many Californians out of state. But the tax battle is far from over. The state's high-speed rail project is a prime example of the kind of wasteful spending that taxpayers can't afford. With a price tag of over $2 billion, this project is a boondoggle that's already causing headaches for local governments. And then there's the issue of real estate transfer taxes, which have been exploited by special interests to line their pockets at the expense of taxpayers. If you're concerned about the future of California's economy and the impact of taxes on your wallet, this episode is a must-listen. Join Susan Shelley and John Coopol as they discuss the latest developments in California's tax landscape and explore the ways in which taxpayers can fight back against the state's relentless pursuit of new revenue streams.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a scathing critique of Colorado's housing affordability policies, specifically Proposition 123, which was passed by voters in 2022. The speaker takes aim at Governor Polis's claims that the proposition will deliver on housing affordability, arguing that the policy is a feel-good solution that doesn't actually address the root causes of the problem.The speaker delves into the details of Prop 123, explaining how it takes money from taxpayers that was previously refundable under the state's TABOR cap and redirects it towards affordable housing. However, the speaker argues that this approach is misguided, as it reduces the pool of private capital available for people to buy or rent housing on the open market. The speaker also points out that the majority of the units funded by Prop 123 are aimed at renters earning between 60% and 120% of the area median income, which is a far cry from truly affordable housing.The speaker also discusses the results of Prop 123, which have been disappointing. Despite promises of 17,000 affordable housing units over 20 years, the actual number of units built is far lower, and the state is losing existing affordable units faster than it's building new ones. The speaker argues that the primary driver of housing costs in Colorado is a supply problem, not a gap in subsidies, and that the state's regulatory environment is exacerbating the issue.If you're concerned about the state of housing affordability in Colorado, this episode is a must-listen. The speaker offers a clear and compelling analysis of the issue and proposes a different approach to addressing the problem. Tune in to hear the full discussion and learn more about the complexities of Prop 123 and the state's housing policies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Proposition 5 would remove the replacement-candidate portion of California recall elections for state officials. Voters would only decide whether to remove an official, while a separate process would determine who fills the vacancy afterward.

This November, Californians will face a crucial election that will impact their wallets and the future of the state's tax policies. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is fighting to protect Proposition 13, a landmark law that has kept property taxes in check since 1978. But with a loophole in the system, special interest groups are exploiting it to raise taxes without voter approval. In this episode, the speaker discusses the importance of Proposition 13 and the Local Taxpayer Protection Act, which aims to close the loophole and make it harder to raise local taxes. The conversation delves into the history of Proposition 13 and its impact on California's economy. The speaker explains how the law has protected homeowners from being taxed out of their homes and how it has invigorated the state's economy. However, the loophole has allowed special interest groups to raise taxes without voter approval, resulting in billions of dollars being taken from taxpayers. The speaker highlights the need for transparency and accountability in government spending and the importance of holding elected officials accountable for their votes. The episode also touches on the upcoming ballot measures, including Proposition 3, which extends temporary income tax increases, and Proposition 1, a massive housing bond that will add to the state's debt. The speaker argues that bonds are not a solution to California's problems and that the state needs to focus on free market solutions to improve housing affordability. As Californians prepare to head to the polls, it's essential to understand the issues at stake. Join the conversation and learn more about the Local Taxpayer Protection Act and how it can protect your wallet. Listen to this episode to discover the truth behind Proposition 13 and the importance of transparency in government spending.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can California successfully tax billionaire wealth, or will the wealth simply leave? In today's episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo examines California's proposed Proposition 40, the 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, and the legal, economic, and practical questions surrounding a one-time 5% tax on fortunes exceeding $1 billion. The discussion goes far beyond politics, exploring the realities of taxing highly mobile capital in an era of private jets, multi-state residency, and sophisticated tax planning. Jack unpacks the proposal's legal hurdles, the challenge of valuing private assets, and the growing battle between state tax enforcement and taxpayer mobility. Will the measure generate billions for healthcare and social services, or could it accelerate the departure of California's wealthiest residents? Proposition 40 could become the defining test of whether governments or global capital have the final say.

This week we're covering some of the propositions that will be on the ballot in November, including Proposition 40, the wealth tax.

Dave Regan, the president of the prominent California union S.E.I.U.-United Healthcare Workers West, joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss Proposition 40, a ballot measure that would impose a one-time, five-per-cent tax on the net worth of the state's billionaires. They talk about the origins of the initiative—which came in response to cuts to health care from Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act—and how the political fight over the proposition fits into the broader wave of populist politics and a growing appetite for challenging the wealthy. They also explore the opposition from a handful of wealthy Silicon Valley figures, who have spent more than a hundred million dollars to defeat the measure. California's governor, Gavin Newsom, and some health-care organizations have expressed concerns that the tax could drive the ultra-wealthy out of the state and would fail to provide a long-term funding solution for public services. Whether the ballot measure fails or passes, does the fight over Proposition 40 signal a broader shift toward more ambitious efforts to tax the wealthy?

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Are DC UniParty forces trying to take over the CO GOP? Vice Chair Eric Grossman joins the show A Party Struggle Hidden from Public View Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden open the program by arguing that major developments inside the Colorado Republican Party are receiving little attention from conventional news outlets. They welcome Colorado GOP Vice Chair Eric Grossman to discuss internal leadership disputes, party finances, legal concerns, open primaries, and what they describe as outside influence over the state organization. Throughout the episode, the hosts and Grossman frame the conflict as a struggle between grassroots Republicans and establishment-aligned figures seeking to control candidate selection and party operations. Their comments draw on internal communications Julie says she reviewed, legal filings discussed by Grossman, and party actions the speakers interpret as evidence of outside or establishment control. Outside Influence and the Open-Primary Divide Grossman argues that Colorado Republicans are not fully directing their own party and points to the involvement of congressional delegation members in litigation related to Proposition 108. He and the hosts identify the open-primary system as the central philosophical divide within the party, asking whether Republican voters or the much larger bloc of unaffiliated voters should determine Republican nominees. They contend that elected officials and establishment interests may prefer candidates who can succeed under that system, even when those candidates do not strongly represent conservative grassroots priorities. Chuck further suggests that some national Republican organizations may care more about electing nominal Republicans to Congress than about whether those candidates closely reflect Colorado grassroots conservatives. Leadership Concerns, Bylaws, and Party Communication The conversation turns to newly elected chair Craig Steiner and the expectations surrounding his leadership. Julie notes that Grossman had appointed a bylaws committee with a majority supportive of the opt-out, and that Steiner later changed its composition so the opposing side held the advantage. Grossman criticizes what he describes as limited communication from the new chair and argues that actions, rather than public statements about unity, reveal the party leadership's real direction. The hosts also discuss Steiner's media appearances, his desire to unify competing factions, and their concern that trying to satisfy every side may result in passivity when decisive leadership is needed. Money, Attorneys, and the Party's Legal Position A substantial part of the interview concerns the Colorado GOP's financial and legal difficulties. Julie refers to internal communications that she says showed congressional representatives pressuring a previous chair to raise $75,000 or risk removal. Grossman and the hosts question why the party would continue directing money to an attorney they believe helped create the very legal and financial problems now confronting the organization. They also criticize the apparent reluctance to pursue legal action against former officials or advisers. Their discussion includes allegations of financial misconduct and possible criminal behavior, but those allegations remain the speakers' opinions and are not independently established within the transcript. Rebuilding Grassroots Control from the Ground Up When Julie asks how grassroots members can respond, Grossman says education, recruitment, attendance, and internal party voting are essential. He emphasizes that the next state leadership contest may be decided by only several hundred voting members, making recruitment, turnout, and proxy organization especially important. Chuck compares proxy voting with a form of ballot collection inside party elections, while Grossman argues that people who accept party positions must either attend meetings or properly assign their proxies. They maintain that grassroots candidates must organize early, build a first-ballot majority, and prevent later rounds from being shaped by private deals or establishment alliances. Candidate Debates and Wider Political Developments After Grossman leaves, Chuck and Julie discuss the statewide contest involving Republican Victor Marx and independent candidate Greg Lopez. Both say they would support Marx over Lopez, although they express doubt that Marx can win and suggest that Republican efforts may be more productive in competitive state legislative and local races. They also comment on Darlene Graham Nordam's temporary appointment to a state Senate seat and speculate about whether the eventual nominee will be a strong conservative or another establishment figure. The hosts then turn to an anticipated speech by President Trump, possible disclosures concerning the 2020 election, and Tulsi Gabbard's comments about resistance from entrenched federal bureaucrats. A Caller Connects Colorado Politics to Waco Caller Jacob closes the episode by drawing a connection between Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser's earlier service in the Justice Department and Attorney General Janet Reno's approval of the 1993 operation against the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas. Julie asserts that the gas used in the operation was flammable and caused the fire, while Jacob compares the event with historical acts of persecution. Jacob also raises Weiser's family history and Holocaust references as part of his criticism, and Chuck responds with strongly negative personal commentary about Weiser.

California's proposed billionaire tax says it will raise $100 billion for healthcare, food assistance, and education. New research from Stanford's Hoover Institution puts the real number closer to $40 billion — and argues the measure could leave the state worse off once billionaire departures are factored in. This week, Phil talks with Hoover Institution research fellow Benjamin Robert Jaros, co-author of that research, about the mechanics of Proposition 40, the migration numbers driving the disagreement, and what it means for California voters this November.Follow California Underground on Substack: caunderground.substack.comGet early access to The Gilded State, Phil's upcoming book on California politics: www.thegildedstate.com

Welcome to another episode of The Political Realignment a Hidden History of Texas series How does a nation recover its confidence? That question hung over America in 1980. The Vietnam War was over. Watergate had moved from breaking news into history. The Bicentennial optimism of 1976 had faded. Inflation remained painfully high. Interest rates climbed. Gas lines and energy worries had shaken the confidence of ordinary families. And every night, the Iran hostage crisis reminded Americans that fifty-two of their fellow citizens were still being held captive in Tehran. Many Americans were anxious. Some were angry. Others were simply tired. Tired of crisis. Tired of uncertainty. Tired of feeling that the country they had known was slipping away. Into that uncertainty stepped Ronald Reagan. A former actor. A former governor of California. And one of the smoothest political communicators America had ever seen. Reagan did not begin by talking like an economist. He began by talking like a storyteller. He told Americans that decline was not inevitable. He told them government had grown too large, taxes were too high, and individual initiative had been smothered by bureaucracy. He told them America could be strong again. And millions of voters were ready to hear that. Jimmy Carter entered 1980 carrying the burden of events, some of which he had inherited and some of which had unfolded during his presidency. He had not caused the inflation of the 1970s. He had not created America's dependence on foreign oil. He had not caused the Iranian Revolution or the seizure of the American embassy in Tehran. But presidents are often judged less by what they cause than by whether the public believes they can respond. By 1980, many Americans had concluded that Carter looked overwhelmed by events. That perception may not have been entirely fair. But politically, it mattered. The hostage crisis especially became a daily symbol of national frustration. Americans watched the calendar count upward, day after day, while the hostages remained in captivity. For many voters, the crisis was no longer simply a foreign policy problem. It had become a question of national strength. And Reagan understood that. He projected confidence. He projected optimism. He projected control. Whether people agreed with him or not, he made many Americans feel that the country could stand tall again. That was the emotional center of the 1980 election. Not tax tables. Not budget charts. Confidence. Of course, Reagan also brought a very specific economic philosophy. What later became known as Reaganomics emphasized tax cuts, deregulation, reduced government spending in some areas, and the belief that economic growth would ultimately benefit the broader society. Supporters saw it as a way to unleash American enterprise. Critics called it trickle-down economics and questioned whether the benefits would reach ordinary working people. But in 1980, many voters were not thinking in those terms. They were thinking about mortgage rates. Gas prices. Paychecks. Taxes. Fear of decline. And whether anyone in Washington knew how to fix things. For middle-class voters across the South and much of the country, Reagan's appeal was not limited to economics. Several currents were moving together. There was frustration with inflation and taxes. There was resentment toward a federal government many believed had become too intrusive. There were cultural concerns shaped by the upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. There was growing religious and social conservatism. There was anxiety about America's role in the world. And there was a deep desire for order after years of disorder. Reagan brought those concerns together into a single message: America could be great again, if government would get out of the way and the American people were allowed to do what they did best. That message resonated. I was living in Los Angeles during those years, and Californians still debated Ronald Reagan's years as governor. The national image of Reagan in 1980 was polished, optimistic, and reassuring. But in California, many people also remembered the governing record. They talked about changes to mental health programs. They talked about the long-term effects of Proposition 13 and the limits it placed on local government revenue. They talked about the changing role of the state and what happened when tax revolt became public policy. That gave me a different perspective. It reminded me that campaign messages and governing realities are often two different conversations. Reagan the candidate sold confidence. Reagan the governor had already shown what a smaller-government philosophy could mean in practice. Both were part of the story. And yet, in 1980, the national mood worked powerfully in Reagan's favor. The final debate produced one of the most memorable lines in modern politics. Reagan looked into the camera and asked Americans a simple question: Were they better off than they had been four years earlier? For many voters, the answer was no. On election night, the result was decisive. Reagan defeated Carter in a landslide. He carried forty-four states and won 489 electoral votes. Carter carried only six states and the District of Columbia. Independent candidate John Anderson drew millions of votes, reflecting the dissatisfaction many Americans felt with both major parties. But the larger meaning of the election was clear. The political realignment that had been developing for years had reached a new stage. The old New Deal coalition was no longer dominant. The South continued moving toward the Republican Party. Suburban voters became increasingly important. Religious conservatives emerged as a powerful political force. Working-class voters became more divided. And the Republican Party, after years of transition, found a message that could unite economic conservatives, social conservatives, anti-communists, suburban families, and voters exhausted by the turmoil of the previous decade. Looking back, it is tempting to say Reagan's victory was inevitable. It was not. It was the product of a long national journey. The breaking point of 1964. The chaos of 1968. The landslide of 1972. The search for trust after Watergate in 1976. And finally, in 1980, the search for confidence. Ronald Reagan did not create every force that brought him to power. But he understood them. He gave them language. He gave them a smile. He gave them a story. For supporters, that story was renewal. For critics, it was illusion. For historians, it was a turning point. Because in 1980, Americans were not simply choosing between two candidates. They were choosing between two interpretations of the country's future. Jimmy Carter warned of limits, sacrifice, and the hard work of rebuilding trust. Ronald Reagan promised strength, optimism, and a return to national confidence. The voters chose Reagan. And with that choice, the modern conservative era truly began. The arguments that had started in the 1960s did not end in 1980. They changed shape. They moved into tax policy, school boards, churches, suburbs, courtrooms, cable television, and eventually the political language of the twenty-first century. The realignment was no longer coming. It had arrived.

This episode of the Howard Jarvis Radio Show is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the state of California's finances and the impact of taxes on its citizens. The speaker, a seasoned advocate for taxpayer rights, shares the latest developments in the fight against excessive taxation and the efforts to restore the two-thirds vote requirement for local special taxes. The episode delves into the world of Proposition 13, a landmark initiative that has been a cornerstone of California's tax policy for decades. The speaker discusses the recent agreement with the governor's office to remove the poison pill initiative, ACA thirteen, from the ballot, which would have nullified the proposed Local Taxpayer Protection Act. This move is seen as a significant victory for taxpayers, but the speaker emphasizes that the fight is far from over. The conversation also touches on the budget process in California, which the speaker describes as a "kabuki dance" designed to give politicians their paychecks while avoiding transparency and accountability. The speaker highlights the state's dismal record on return on investment for tax dollars, ranking dead last among all states. The discussion also explores the impact of the proposed wealth tax, which the speaker argues is a direct circumvention of Proposition 13 and a blank check for the legislature to amend it at will. If you're concerned about the future of California and the impact of taxes on its citizens, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's insights and analysis. Join the conversation and learn how you can get involved in the fight for taxpayer rights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is sounding the alarm on two major issues affecting California taxpayers. In this episode, Susan Shelley and her legislative director, Scott Kaufman, dive into the details of a proposed tax increase on insurance and a bill that could limit access to public records. They also discuss the Local Taxpayer Protection Act, a ballot initiative aimed at saving Proposition 13 and making it harder to raise taxes.The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is fighting against a proposed tax increase on insurance, which could bring in billions of dollars for the state. However, the tax would disproportionately affect private insurance recipients, who would see an increase in their premiums. Meanwhile, a bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee could limit access to public records, making it harder for citizens to hold their government accountable.The association is also pushing back against a bill that would redefine tangible personal property to include digital products, effectively taxing online purchases. This move could lead to a significant increase in sales tax revenue for the state. Additionally, the association is highlighting the importance of transparency in government, citing a recent investigation into Governor Newsom's behested payments.If you're concerned about the impact of these issues on your wallet and your rights as a taxpayer, tune in to this episode to learn more about the Local Taxpayer Protection Act and how you can get involved.
