Will California Pass The Billionaire Tax?

Radio stations are literally held together by duct tape. 800-222-2-2-2-2 is the telephone number 1-800-22-2-2-2-2-2-2. Well, the monster that Gavin Newsom created could end up eating him here in the state of California. As the SEIU has an initiative that is qualified for the November ballot, that's a wealth confiscation tax that would target California's billionaires. And if you're wondering how many people this applies to, it's really a small handful of people. When you think about it, we have the tech people up in Silicon Valley. We have the people that own all the sports franchises, which is now everywhere but Oakland. We have that guy, Edwin Castro, that won the $2 billion from the Powerball. And then we have anyone who got molested by a priest. So you're just talking about not that many people, but it's all the important people in the state. And if they leave, they're going to take their businesses and their money with them and it's going to blow the budget. That's true. But how good would it feel to take away Tom Steyer's money? I'm Tom Steyer, and I'm about to ride the D. Yeah, but we're not singling him out. If we were singling him out, then, okay, let's all pile on. This bill, if it passes, Proposition 40 is what they're now calling it. It would affect about 200 billionaires up and down the state of California, and it would somehow be able to... tax a portion of their wealth and their unassumed earnings, so their assets, based on if they were here on January 1st, 2026, which is why some of them left on December 31st, 2025, just on the idea that this thing might make the ballot and may pass. And one of the things that's not talked about enough,

because I don't think the people supporting this even care where the money goes. It's really just about a class warfare thing. Most of the money goes to the health care union that put this on the ballot, and you might think that means it's going towards health care. A big portion of that money is actually going towards the pensions for the SEIU Health Care Union. And the reason that so many of these billionaires have already moved out of state before we've even taken a vote on this is because they have zero faith in the California electorate and can you blame them? In fact, Randy, let's check in with the average California voter right now to find out what they think about this initiative. No, I don't know enough to give you any good information, but good luck finding someone who does. And that's why we're in the situation that we're in. Here we are just a few months before the November election, and a poll shows. that Prop 40 is likely to pass in the state of California. But it's not a done deal, and there's going to be a lot of real confusing things on the November ballot that may derail its passage. For more on this, we go to a report from KCR3 in Sacramento. The fight for it against the proposed billionaire taxes heating up. Californians are deciding in November of the... Commitment 2026. Are we getting married? Maybe. States billionaires should face a tax to fund health care programs after recent federal cuts. Our KCR3 political director, Ashley Zavala, joins us. So what's the update on this? Yeah, I mean, this is one of the biggest fights we're going to see heading into November. The campaign supporting the billionaire tax today released an internal poll showing support for the one time. Nobody believes it's one time. No. Weren't they already polling? Whether or not the public would allow them to do this to millionaires after they hit the billionaires. Well, and you remember the campaign for governor when everyone was being asked about this, notably people like Katie Porter. We're like, well, it doesn't go far enough. I want to go after those hundred millionaires and those 10 millionaires. And that's why we call her America sweetheart. Well, and one of the things that's written into the legislation, if it passes, is that the legislature... can amend this and re-implement this tax whenever they want with a majority, which they have a super majority, and change the threshold. So it can be a billionaire one-time tax today. In a couple of years, when the state budget is blown, it's going to be down to a multimillionaire tax, and then what happens?

Tax on billionaires. The tax would apply specifically to California residents with at least a billion dollars in assets. Okay, so here's the result of the poll. 1,500 California voters were surveyed. Of them, 57% supported the tax. 38% opposed it. That's a pretty wide margin going into the beginning of campaign season. And I have talked to consultants who are not publicly working. for one side or another on this particular initiative. And in their own private polling that they've done so far, it's very similar to what you're seeing here right now. So what do you think that is behind that? Is this Californians raising their middle finger to Elon Musk who doesn't even live here anymore? I mean, it sure seems that like... The support behind this, they don't really care where the money goes. They certainly don't care that it's going towards health care, but they're sick and tired of the Jeff Bezos and the Balmers and all the other billionaires in this state. And in politics, it seems like things are thematic and things work in cycles. And right now, within the Democratic Party, the DSA is on its ascendancy. They won a bunch of primaries in New York. They won the mayor's seat in New York. They won the mayor's seat in Seattle and Chicago. And they earned a slot on the November ballot in Los Angeles. And you're going to see potentially even more DSA wins in Michigan and other states that have yet to vote, Wisconsin. If that is something that is a thing this year within the Democratic Party, In a Democratic state like California, yeah, you would expect something like this to pass. The report, this poll does not clarify where the remaining 5% fall, and we did reach out to the campaign to provide that information we haven't heard back yet. The yes on Prop 40 campaign also highlighted strong support among teachers, health care workers, and union members. That's interesting because what we've heard from the opposition is that some of the people that are really against this. are the teachers because not any of this money is going towards the teachers unions. And if this actually lower state revenue, which it could, that means that you have less money going into Prop 98, which means less money going to the schools, which means less money going to Cecily Meyer Cruz. Well, it'll be interesting to see how much money the CTA is willing to spend to defeat this thing. because it seems like they can talk to their own members if teachers are one of the groups that supports this overwhelmingly. If the CTA really hammers them hard and says, don't vote for it, maybe that's enough to get them to lose 7% support, which is what you need to do to get them under 50%. Well, you've got to think about another possibility. If this thing passes by a wide margin, there may be a completely different calculation because this is being sold as a one-time 5% tax to fund health care cuts, what have you? What if CTA and UTLA decide, okay, people like taking money away from the billionaires? What if in 2028 we have another 5% wealth tax and this time it's for education?

Well, and think about this. Part of what allows the state to exist right now is the high-tech industry. That is the industry that is not only driving the economy of Northern California, but the entire state of California. And at this point, the entire country in the globe, AI is going to be the biggest thing that's ever hit the earth. and it's headquartered right here in California. I think part of the assumption that the SEIU is making here and that the politicians that support this initiative are making is they think that big tech is going to be here forever because they like the good weather and they like coastal living. And so it doesn't matter how bad the taxes are or how bad the policies are. They're going to be here for, eternity. And I don't necessarily think that that's true. At one point in time, California had a lot of the big banks headquartered here. Well, guess what? A lot of them are gone. At what point in time we had big oil headquartered here? Well, guess what? A lot of them are gone. The same thing is true with any number of other industries. Why would big tech be any different? If anything, it's easier to move big tech to other states because you just need buildings and energy. The oil is here, so it makes sense that the oil companies would be headquartered here. But you can't make that same argument for big tech. If they decide, all right, California's done, we're going to Austin or we're going to Florida, it's a much easier move for them than for Big Oil. Enjoy the summer if you move to Austin. A lot of people move back after a couple of those. Now, Governor Gavin Newsom is against the billionaire tax. And with the release of this poll, supporters of Prop 40 say that his attempt to position himself against it is, quote, falling flat. Okay. So that means that the Democrats are just checked out on Gavin Newsom, too. We're not the only ones ignoring them. Poor Gavie, he's not special anymore. He's got an expiration date. Gavin Newsom helped launch the Stop the Squeeze campaign to fight the new proposed measure. A spokesman for the Stop the Squeeze campaign gave us the statement and response to the poll today. He said, quote, it has superficial appeal when it's first introduced to something related to wealth and equality. But support plummets once voters learn it would make the problem worse and hurt the very people it claims to help by forcing cuts to schools, housing, and public safety. How many voters in this day do you think read past the third line?

All right. At the Pacific Amp Theater at the O.C. Fair on August 16th, tickets are on sale now at packamp.com. But right now, caller number nine at 1 888. 795-2-2 gets a pair of tickets to the show.

I got to update that email with Trisha saying we need to get smoke and scan on the show. That'll be a fun one. Well, I'm looking at the chat. This is the first time I can think of. I've been told I look like a rapper.

John's looking like Macklemore. John bust some bars. You do not want to hear me sing. Trust me on that. 800-222-2-2-2 is the telephone number 1-800-22-2-2-2-2. If you want to watch us, perform the show live, go to johnny don't like.com. All right, we know that the homeless numbers in L.A. are up. We know that the homeless numbers in Long Beach are up. But we could see the homeless numbers in Oakland go up, but kind of of a different kind. While homelessness is up throughout the state of California, there's a very specific kind of homelessness that is natural to the city of Oakland. And that is sports team homelessness. And we still got our Oakland A's baby. No, you don't. Oakland's Coliseum, which has been the center of all kinds of controversy with this crooked deal that Schengi came up with. I can get that. has not really had a lot of action or things to do there. One of the things that the Coliseum has had for the past two years is the Oakland Roots, the Oakland soccer team. And Johnny, the Oakland Roots apparently have not been paying the Coliseum their rent. They owe them over a million dollars and they're going to get evicted from the Coliseum unless they pay the bill. What happens if the repo man comes and evicts a professional soccer team from a building? What do you do? Take the balls? Take the shingards? One of the ideas, if they cannot play in the Coliseum, and I'm not making this up, and it inspired the show graphic that you can see during the commercial breaks, what if they just played in the parking lot? On asphalt?

For more on the woes of one of the last sports franchises and the city of Dumpy, here is KTVU Fox 2. Now, I do have to point out, this story's from last night. There was an update this morning that they made a tiny little payment so they can play this Saturday, but after that, who knows? But this is the better rap, so we're going with it. I can't hear anything. You can't hear it? No. You can't hear my rap? No. Why not? Why not? Oh, because I didn't put it on. My bad. I'm starting to get a little crazy. I think I'm working a little too much. Okay. Excuse me. Let me open up this. Let me put on the lower third. Sometimes I'm doing all this stuff by myself, kids. Okay. Now, wait a minute. The Oakland Roots, is that a soccer team that is made up of men or women? That is a men's soccer team. I think the women's soccer team is the Oakland Soul. Okay, so is this named after that TV show that starred LaVar Burton, Maya Angelou, and won Arendhal James Simpson? I do not think it is. What's going on, America? He was in the show. Now, I apologize. Let's start the road. Katie Teret was his name. Here's the KTVU piece. My apologies. So burnt out. Tonight the clock is ticking as the Oakland Roots scramble to come up with back rent or face the possibility of being shut out of their own venue on Saturday. The East Bay Soccer Club currently... We can all hear it now, right? Oh, yeah. Okay. Going to be cursing myself all day for that. You know what I need. I seriously need and maybe I have to put a request out to engineering. I need a second monitor because I can't even see the chat when I'm playing a video. If I had two monitors, which I have at home, maybe we could figure this out. Oakland, Alameda County Coliseum Authority, nearly $1.5 million in overdue rent. KTV's Axoss live outside the stadium. Over a million dollars in overdue rent? When's the last time they paid the rent? 2004? Well, part of the problem here is you have a team that has a fan base of maybe a few thousand renting out a stadium that can hold about $50,000. Although that was the same problem with the A's. True. Was it even full when the Angels would play? No. No, on the top deck, they even put tarps over all the seats. Probably got some pretty good deals the last couple of years. Oh, yeah. It's the latest tonight, Zach.

Yeah, Greg, it's a situation. It's also put the remainder of the entire season in limbo as well. They still have five more games to play at home. And for the moment, both sides appear far from a deal. Can you imagine what happens when the visiting team comes and they're like, oh, we're not playing here anymore. We're playing in the parking lot. Yeah, what do you do? If you're the Kansas City team and you're coming into town to play the Oakland Roots, but the building's been repossessed. Do you even bother to check into the hotel or just go right back to the airport? Maybe they can turn that Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento into a soccer field, too. Well, not with their bad credit. I do not want a fourth professional sports team to not be successful. At this point, it's what Oakland is known for. Oakland is known for great food and losing sports teams. Well, if they're going to replace that team with someone else, they've gone through just about every other sport on the planet. They have the Oakland ballers left, which is not even... A level minor league baseball, correct? The Oakland ballers, and I have to look this up, play for something called the Pioneer League, right, Shangy? Oakland B! The Oakland Ballers, if you look up their official Wikipedia page, which I'm pulling it up right now. In fact, I can share this tab with everybody. Let's see. Are we showing everybody? The Oakland Ballers are with the Pioneer League. Who is the Pioneer League? Who are their opponents? You wonder? Well, they play teams like the Billings Mustangs and the Boise Hawks. and the glacier range riders. And don't forget the Great Falls Voyagers. Well, maybe after they move out, they can get a professional highlight team and they can play Tijuana. I think the Modesto Roadsters went out of business. So the only other California teams are they've got a Long Beach one, the Long Beach coast, because all the Long Beach people are still pissed that the angels won't move there. And the Yuba Sutter Freebirds.

Quite a league. Here in Oakland or in Alameda County. But at the moment, the Oakland Coliseum and the roots finding themselves at an impasse, according to the San Francisco Stadium looks so clean because no one uses it. Go Chronicle, the Roots owed the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority, $1.4 million in overdue rent, and they're now threatening to bar the team from playing its Saturday match and five remaining home games at the stadium if the club doesn't pay up. I want to make it very clear. We're a team without a stadium. They're just going to put padlocks on the door? Yep. If they start playing, the sheriff's going to take that ball and walk out with it. We want to receive all of the revenues and fees that are owed to us. That's our fiduciary responsibility to the county and the city of Oakland. But we want to do it in a responsible way that allows the routes to continue to play. What's so funny is because who knows what they're charging the routes for rent, it seems like it might be a little high because there surely isn't a lot of demand to use the Coliseum. How many monster truck shows can you really do in a year? continue to be successful. David Halbert and Alameda County supervisor who also sits on the board of commissioners for the Coliseum Authority, Halbert hoping to hold an 11th hour special meeting to hash out a deal to keep the team on the field for Saturday. I personally want to be flexible enough to allow them time to come up with a payment plan to make sure that they can. They're not even filling up the bottom deck, this poor team. Not even close. Now I know why they haven't been paying the rent. Well, again, you know, Major League Soccer in the U.S., it's not like the World Cup. It has a fan base, but it's a small fan base. It's like how there are exactly 19,000 Kings fans. The problem is they're renting out a massive stadium that they do not need to fill, but where else are they supposed to go? And if you're the Coliseum, you might want to work out with these people because this is the only game in town, literally. Well, they're also a bunch of deadbeats, though. So what's the point of cutting a deal if they're not going to be good for it? Continue to play the rest of their season. They have no real way of raising money to pay us unless they play their games. So far, the Roots declining to comment, but the news comes just- All right, whoever's paying to sponsor the little sidelines at the Oakland Root soccer game. Please call our sales department. We have a bigger viewership than the Oakland Roots. Weeks after the team announced its plans to leave the stadium following the season. This little YouTube channel in the first month has 36,000 unique viewers. That is more than the Oakland Roots by a lot.

Due to the high rent and inability to collect sponsorship fees at the stadium, according to the Chronicle, the club is currently operating at a substantial loss. Professional sports consultant and former Oakland A's executive Andy Dolish says the team will be facing an uphill battle to find an alternative venue at the right price. There are soccer fields around. You're coming from a position of weakness based upon the financial shortfalls that I believe have been reported. Yeah, what's it like when you're trying to make a deal with an alternative venue? And they know that you're not good for whatever check you're writing. Well, if you have 45 people in the stands, just go to a junior high school. That's all you need. to the Coliseum, and you're just a few days away. That does not put you in any kind of positive negotiating position, but you'll find a place to play. For the next season, the routes are considering two short-term options. One includes putting up modular grandstands at their training facility in Alameda, the other a pop-up stadium in the Oakland Coliseum parking lot.

Oh, come on. We can't afford the Coliseum. So how about the parking lot? Imagine if you play for a team in a different city and you come to town and they go, okay, you're going to be playing this game in those handicapped spaces over there. And then the loading dock, that's out of bounds. But the 15-minute parking zone, that counts. Listener, Jay Jarrett writes in, the roots are nine in a league of 12. Now I figured out what they named that team after. What's that? Shang's hair. That's not nice. Absolutely, absolutely. After the show, you really got to go watch On Demand, us breaking down that Shang stuff from yesterday. I believe the video is called What Really Happened on that Vietnam Trip Shang? They should be playing in a smaller venue. They should find the right venue in which they know. Boy, these fans are rocking out. Yeah, we're really into it. Nothing more exciting than Zero Zero. early on that they'll sell out. And Saturday, the team takes on the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. So really just three more days to figure out something before game time. Greg? How do you feel if you're Pittsburgh right now? Well, you feel like you might slip in an oil slick when you're going for a goal. maybe just maybe what we need to do is if you're the visiting team and you come to play a game and the home team doesn't actually have a stadium to play in automatic forfeit certainly a lot of roots fans and players hoping they come up with there are not a lot of roots fans no No. What happens if they can't even afford to play in the parking lot? What do they do next? They go play on the runway at the airport? Maybe we'll do a street takeover soccer game. Just block all the intersections. We'll have some fun. A solution and soon. Zach sauce live for us tonight. Zach, thank you. So there you go. Yet another Oakland sports franchise is said to be homeless.

Richard writes in at Johnny Don't Like Show at Gmail.com, uprooting the team. The problem is the Coliseum is owned by the county and the city, both whom are corrupt. Oakland B!

All right. So we know that in Oakland, illegal dumping is a huge problem. and they haven't been able to figure out how to stop people from doing it. And Randy, now they're starting to get creative. Kevin Jenkins, we told you earlier in the week, offered a $500 reward on information on the woman that dumped a couch on the side of the road. Out of a U-Haul, by the way. And now he's realized what the secret sauce is into going after illegal dumping. If we can't fine them and we can't jail them, How about a good old-fashioned public shaman? Okay. I understand that there are contractors that dump their materials illegally because it's cheaper to do that and they have a lot of trash that they need to get rid of. It's bad. It's awful. They shouldn't be doing that. The government should come down on them like a ton of breaks. But if you're a woman... and you are illegally dumping a couch on the side of the road because you can, that is the trashiest thing you can do. For more on this, we go to our report from Kronfor. One Oakland City Council member says he has had enough of all that illegal dumping plaguing his district. He personally paid $500 a reward to someone who helped identify a suspected illegal dumper. You've got to be sick of something to fork over $500. Kronfors, Gail Ong, has more on the dumping deterrent. Hey, there's some alliteration for you. Let's see who this hussy is. Hey, Oakland, I need your help. I have a $500 reward. Oakland City Council President Kevin Jenkins posted this video over the weekend after the Safer Streets Maxwell Park social media page shared photos of a woman, her truck, and a pile of bulky items left in the neighborhood. This lady seems to have accidentally left her stuff on Cortland and Reading apps, and I need to find out who she is. Oh yeah, it was an accident. Within an hour, Jenkins, who represents the Maxwell Park area, received a tip identifying the woman. $500 was sent to the person who first identified TIF. After I got the name of the person, I politely asked them to come get their things. Unfortunately, they did not get their things. So keep open, clean and beautiful. Came in, retreat the, I would say, illegal dumping from the site. Oh, I know what you wanted to say. Pile of bleep. And then the person deleted their Instagram and their TikTok. Yeah, he tagged them in a post and then they deleted all their social media. That's the right aspect of this. Good. Let's see her.

A complaint was filed through Oakland's 311 system, the city's official channel for reporting illegal dumping. Jenkins says this kind of behavior has become increasingly brazen. So it's absolutely imperative. People shouldn't have to live this way. It's an absolute challenge when we have little kids walking past filth and people. know what they're doing. They're doing it because they believe they can get away with it. So we have to... Must be a real thrill and just dumping a pile of garbage on the side of the road. Not my kind of thrill, but someone's into it. Now, wait a minute. A moment ago, he just said it was an accident. He didn't really mean that. Yeah, no kidding. Told the residents of Oakland that were willing to stand for them. Oakland city leaders have been working to curb the problem for years. The city has been hosting block parties where residents can drop off unwanted items. Residents also have free options to get rid of... Wait, you go to a block party and you bring an old mattress? That's one kind of party. This generation's key party. one last ride you bring an old mattress to a block party what's that well it was once the cradle of my love bulky waste, including annual curbside pickups and drop-off services. In June, I'm pretty sure that couch had blood stains. Yeah, it looked like it was the scene of a crime. Oakland received $9 million to tackle the issue. Part of that funding will support dedicated police investigations and the first surveillance cameras aimed at catching offenders expected to rollout in the next few months. While some criticized Jenkins were publicly calling out the woman. There's a lot of people saying finally somebody standing up to do something for them. The council president says he's prepared to offer more rewards and take even stronger steps to deter future dumpers. The next person that I get a picture of, they are going up on a billboard. So illegal dumping. Yes, I love this idea. He's going to put a billboard of the next illegal dumper that he gets ratted out to. On a billboard on 580. That's going to be fantastic. Imagine if there's a billboard for In-N-Out burger on the other side with the steam coming out of the burger. Well, in Oakland, there wouldn't be because they don't have one anymore. Mike Drop, hosted by former Navy CEO, Mike Ridland. How would you characterize your prowess? I'd say my style is that I just kind of outwork everybody until I get there because I'm not a quitter. It's just you. It's yourself. Everything else is team-oriented. The motivation, it was a sort of anger at myself for being weak. That ends up being the driving factor.
