As vaccine mandates increase, it remains to be seen how successful they will be, and what level of backlash they may provoke. Also, between spiking case rates and a potential return of a mask mandate, some San Diegans are saying they're experiencing “COVID whiplash.” Plus, a San Diego lawyer said he was discriminated against for “banking while black” when he tried to cash a large settlement check at Bank of America in Pacific Beach. Then, Los Angeles Times columnist Jean Guerrero says San Diego-based One American News Network is a hotbed of “white paranoid extremism” and “Trump propaganda.” In addition, as San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer says he did not allow tent encampments and achieved a “double digit” reduction in homelessness, experts say his claims are overstated and incomplete. And, President Joe Biden's decision to end U.S. involvement in Afghanistan has raised questions about the wisdom of leaving and the wisdom of having stayed so long. Finally, The San Diego Writers Festival is wrapping up its virtual event this weekend with Kaitlyn Greenidge, whose second novel “Libertie” is noted as one of the most anticipated novels of the year.

Elex sits down with former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer on his run for Governor. Politico's Carla Marinucci and Jeremy B. White joins the show to discuss Gov. Newsom's rollercoaster week and the recall challengers.

California, for decades a symbol of boundless growth and opportunity that attracted people from across the country and abroad, has seen its population growth stall and is losing a U.S. House seat for the first time in its 170-year history. Census Bureau population data released Monday is used to determine how the nation’s 435 House seats are allocated. California remains the most populous by far with nearly 39.58 million people but it is growing more slowly than other states and will see its House delegation drop from 53 to 52. California's loss of a House seat also means a possible dip in federal funding for Medi-Cal, the health insurance program for low-income people, as well as less money for highways, schools and a wide array of social services that are based on population. Now that the number of congressional seats is known, states can embark on the decennial process of redrawing congressional maps, known as redistricting. That process won’t start until late summer or fall because of a delay in releasing neighborhood-level population data.  Meanwhile, organizers of the recall effort against California Gov. Gavin Newsom have collected enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot. The California secretary of state’s office announced Monday that more than 1.6 million signatures had been verified, about 100,000 more than needed to force a vote on the first-term Democrat. People who signed petitions now have 30 days to withdraw their signatures, though it’s unlikely enough will do so to stop the question from going to voters.  An election is likely in the fall where voters would face two questions: Should Newsom be recalled and who should replace him? The votes on the second question will only be counted if more than half say yes to the first. If Newsom survives the recall he will be up for reelection in 2022. Among the most prominent Republicans running to replace Newsom are former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner, who has never run for elected office. Businessman John Cox, who lost badly to Newsom in 2018, and former Congressman Doug Ose, also are running.  Today on AirTalk, we’ll look at what happens next with both the redistricting process that this new Census data triggers and the effort to recall Governor Newsom.

We start this one with a quick coronavirus update from resident epidemiologist Dr Flo. It's a complex moment, with cases beginning to drop, multiple vaccines rolling out and Governor Gavin Newsom reopening California, despite some dangerous new strains of the virus spreading throughout the country. Speaking of Newsom, a Republican push is nearing the finish line in a signature-gathering campaign to recall the governor, with GOP staples like former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and John Cox (who lost to Newsom by a whopping 24 points in 2018) seizing upon the momentum of rage-filled rightwing animus and threats leveled against the governor. Newsom's not the only politician facing calls to leave office. After a damning piece in the Sacramento Bee outlined City Manager Howard Chan's failure to open warming centers the night a raging storm with 60 mph winds killed at least four people in the streets, city council is facing a rising chorus for Chan's firing. The Sacramento Homeless Union is also calling for Mayor Darrell Steinberg to step down.

Last week saw dramatic developments in the ongoing Dynamex/AB5/gig economy saga: following the August 13 ruling that confirmed an August 20 deadline for Uber and Lyft to reclassify their workers as employees, the two companies announced that they planned to cease operations in California rather than comply. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo issued statements calling on the Court of Appeals to stay the ruling, claiming that their constituents would suffer if the services were stopped during the pandemic. On the other side of the issue, drivers and labor organizers claimed that the companies were acting in bad faith, noting that Lyft and Uber have had more than adequate time to comply, given that the recent court decisions echo the findings of the Dynamex ruling, which was issued more than two years ago. Add into this mix a pending ballot proposition, Prop. 22, which would upend AB5 if passed in November. Last Thursday, August 20, the 1st District Court of Appeal issued a stay on the order, temporarily allowing the companies to continue operating under their current business model, which classifies drivers as independent contractors. We reached out to Steve Smith of the California Labor Federation, one of the leading opponents of Proposition 22, to chat about this wild week and the issues behind AB5 and Proposition 22.

Cybele Thompson, the career real estate professional San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer recruited in 2014 to manage the city's portfolio of property and leases, has become the latest official to leave her job after a report about the troubled acquisition of a downtown high rise.Thompson will leave Wednesday, one week after an independent review found serious deficiencies in the city's 2016 plan to acquire the former Sempra Energy headquarters at 101 Ash Street, according to her letter of resignation dated Monday.The departure is the second for a high-profile city official involved in the Ash Street transaction. Earlier this year, former Deputy Chief Operating Officer Ronald Villa retired amid questions of how the property was handled.A report from the Mayor's Office last week said it could cost $115 million or more to rehabilitate the Ash Street office tower to a condition that would be safe for city employees to occupy — a stunning amount for a building appraised at $72 million a few years ago.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer shares the same challenges and frustrations as virtually every mayor in America. But America's Finest City is setting itself apart due to his leadership.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer's office has come up with four key recommendations for negotiating a new agreement that allows one utility the exclusive right to use the city's public right-of-ways for transmission and distribution as well as installing wires, poles, power lines, and underground gas and electric lines.San Diego Gas & Electric currently holds what is called the franchise agreement, which has been in place since 1970. But the deal expires in January and city officials are counting on fielding competitive bids from a number of different companies — not just SDG&E — before deciding who should win the new agreement.With that in mind, Faulconer's staff, working with an energy consulting firm, proposes:a new franchise agreement that lasts 20 yearsa provision calling for third-party reviews to make sure the company that wins the bid is keeping its promises and doing a good jobmaking adjustments to the franchise fees that would lead to a projected net benefit to San Diego ratepayers of $85 million over the course of the recommended 20-year contract, andan upfront payment by the winning bidder of $62 million.“San Diego is making it clear — this is not your grandfather's franchise agreement,” Faulconer said in a statement. “A lot has changed over the last 50 years and this process ensures residents get a franchise agreement that aligns with their needs for today and shapes a vision for tomorrow.”Read more: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2020-07-09/franchise-agreement

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer orders beaches and parks to close, other cities take action, Jury trials now on hold across the state, and Wash Your Hands!

Gov. Gavin Newsom's mandate is clear, but only for about a dozen or so different industries. Grocery stores, gas stations, banks, laundromats and pharmacies are essential and can remain open. Alternatively, others — dine-in restaurants, bars and clubs, entertainment venues, gyms, public events, and conventions centers — must close immediately.But what about the hundreds or thousands of businesses that fall into the massive gray area not identified in the order? And what exactly is “essential” in today's totally unrecognizable brick-and-mortar world? As it stands, lattes are still being served through Starbucks drive-throughs, craft beers are available for pickup at local breweries, and cable TV and Internet sales staff are still reporting to Spectrum stores.Basically, businesses appear to be making the call on their own, with some leaning on the guidance provided to individual municipalities earlier in the week.When seven counties in the San Francisco Bay Area instituted their shelter-in-place mandate, officials included a wider range of businesses in their definition of essential, including hardware stores, plumbers, some legal services and newspapers. Friday evening, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer clarified that home builders also fall into the go-to-work bucket.

In this special message, Pastor Miles interviews San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells, and County Public Health Officer, Dr. Wilma Wooten to discuss how we can care for ourselves and others in our community during the global coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer is disputing President Donald Trump's comments that Faulconer thanked Trump for his efforts on the border wall during a Tuesday meeting between the two men at the White House. Trump said on Fox News Wednesday night that Faulconer expressed gratitude for local upgrades to the wall and declared that they had been highly effective. “The mayor was just up in my office - great guy,” Trump told Sean Hannity. “He came up to thank me for having done the wall because it's made such a difference. He said it's like day and night. He said people were flowing across and now nobody can come in.” Faulconer's spokesman Craig Gustafson said the president's recollection of the meeting is flat wrong.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer is a newly self-identified "YIMBY"--a proponent of "Yes in My Backyard" development. Liam and Matt discuss what that the Republican mayor's pro-density policies mean for the one of the largest and sprawliest cities in California. First, an Avocado of the Fortnight asks whether the cure for the state's housing crisis is parked right in front of us (2:00). Then a discussion of whether Gov. Newsom is punting tying gas tax money to housing goals (6:30), followed by a roundup of state legislation originating from the Bay Area's CASA compact (9:30). Then, Liam sits down with San Diego Mayor Faulconer for a conversation about all things housing (22:00).

Is Howard Schultz a viable candidate for President of the United States? Or is he simply a spoiler candidate that has no chance of winning at all? We explore the candidacy of Howard Schultz candidacy from a number of different angles. The reaction from the media and from the left has been swift and severe, particularly because he is choosing to run as a Centrist Independent. Many fear Howard Schultz will split the Dem vote and make it easier for Trump to win re-election in 2020. Others simply object to Schultz because he is a billionaire. I don't necessarily agree. I think many Republicans will consider Schultz when their other choices are a far left progressive representing the Democrats and Trump representing Republicans. There is a large swath of the GOP that only reluctantly support Trump simply because they don't want a leftist in the White House. A "corporate democrat" may be more appealing to them then Trump's lack of integrity, lack of morality and his foolish policies of a Trade War, a Wall, massive debt and more. I explore this issue further from the perspective of the stranglehold that the Republicans and Democrats have on the election process and the Presidential Debates in particular. In 2016 voters were desperate for a 3rd choice as an alternative to Trump and Clinton. Could Schultz play the role of breaking the Rep/Dem Duopoly? We also explore a wide range of other issues including Super Bowl LIII, Joe Namath, New Years Resolutions, the San Diego Padres, Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, WorldProgress.org, local politics in Chula Vista and Poway, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and legendary Green Bay Packers Head Coach Vince Lombardi.

Matt and Liam were travelling and sick the past two weeks, so no conventional episode of Gimme Shelter this fortnight. Instead we present a collection of interviews with big city mayors on housing and homelessness.
