Arizona Governor Blasted for Plans to Defy the Death Penalty
"Katie Hobbs, the governor of Arizona is now disregarding the death penalty sentences that have been handed down for someone for folks in Arizona because she has a problem with the death penalty. If you have a problem with the death penalty governor Hobbes, you go to the legislature and say, we need to modify or do away with our death in it. You got to do your job. We're seeing this with DAs all over the country, James. What is it that why have we gotten away from, you know, and I may be an old funny duddy here or something. I don't know, but the three branches, the two branch government system is what made us what is good as we are today. Why are we going away from it? That's a loaded question, isn't it? Yeah. But you see it all. Democrats. Republicans. Specifically about this situation. She's okay, this is the governor of Arizona. Yep. Making the decision to remove the death penalty from all of the inmates in their state. She's not going to care the executive branch will not carry out a death penalty center. Here's my question. The power. He could commute them. Okay, this is a question that I have because when you brought this up to me earlier, made me think of this and it's sort of terrifying. Okay? Yeah. She has the right to say, okay, everybody who's currently in prison right now, she can just say, and during her term, those people will not get the death penalty. Correct. Okay, let's say she loses the next election. Yep. Do those people, are they, are they pardoned or governor just say they get the death penalty? Yeah. If she doesn't change their sentence, and again, I said something wrong. Let me be very careful here. Some sites allow the governor to commute or pardon, okay? Some sites don't. I'll be Frank. I'm not sure about Arizona. So what I do know now is that she doesn't have that power. Frankly, it's even worse.

What the Silvergate Death Spiral Means for the Crypto Industry
"So today we're going to dig into not only why silvergate is crashing, but how it got to this point, and what its death spiral means for the industry. Let's start at the beginning. Silvergate bank is a medium sized crypto friendly bank based in California. For most of its 30 year history, silvergate was a tiny community bank focused on financing smaller real estate deals. It had only three branches and less than $1 billion in bank assets. In 2016, under the leadership of CEO Alan lane, the bank pivoted to providing banking services to crypto firms. Ben Reynolds silvergate president, who is hired to oversee this change in business strategy said, we need to deposit an Allen started seeing that companies like coinbase were getting kicked out of banks. So the idea was, if we can bank coinbase, we can find deposits. Allen went to the Federal Reserve and said we want to provide basic banking services to Bitcoin companies and they said okay. Over the next 6 years, silvergate downsized its existing business banking and real estate teams to lean heavily into crypto. In 2016, the bank had only 20 crypto clients, including paxos and bit fury, but this number grew to over 1000. This rapid expansion in dealing with the early crypto industry came with a large increase in compliance risk and overhead. According to anonymous sources speaking with Financial Times, silvergate had to hire twice as many compliance staff as comparable banks of its size. Waiting times for compliance checks on new customers ballooned out to 6 months. One of FT's sources said quote, when they got into it, crypto was this little new thing, and I think they didn't realize it would take off as fast as it did. So then they put all their chips in that direction, it ran away from them, it got very big very quickly. Now part of the reason that silvergate were able to achieve such a prominent position in the crypto ecosystem was the launch of their silvergate exchange network or sen in 2017. Said enabled crypto firms to immediately transfer U.S. dollars to other account holders at silvergate, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Funds would be cleared near instantly and could be used immediately. While this feature might not have an obvious use case for the average retail trader, for large crypto funds this opened up the possibility of conducting arbitrage trades across exchanges at a much faster speed, while also allowing funds held on exchanges to be topped up after hours or on weekends.

Sebastian Talks to Hillsdale Professor Thomas G. West
"Down that rabbit hole that Caldwell rabbit hole for a moment professor. A new constitution born in the 1960s, who were the motors, who were the engines of that new constitution. Was it simply the civil rights activist? Was it activist judges? Can we can we point to a locus of the formation or who were the catalysts for that new constitution? Well, of course, the way was led by American intellectuals and going back to a much earlier time in 20th century. Starting let's say the 1920s, 30s, begin to see that these movements are what we're our world today. Our political and social growth today. But by the 1960s, the reason why that period, I think, can be singled out as the transition. Is that all three branches of the federal government and most states outside the south now had come to embrace. His orientation, the idea that there is a fundamental threat to human individual rights that comes from the private sector. And of course, always there's been crime in America and we punish trying. But now the view is, it's not enough to punish crime. It's not enough to prevent people from harming each other. And it also necessary to organize and regulate their lives step by step so that they will not have views of other people build that are disapproved of by the federal government. And for the state government, as far as that's concerned, happens that state levels as well.

John Zmirak and Eric Reflect on Slavery and the Civil War
"Really understood that what the founders had done and what we had in this country was just so extraordinary that the only way that it could be destroyed would be from within, which is, of course, where the attacks have come from and where they're coming from today. So eventually you and I want to go through them because in the article you mentioned, go ahead. Yeah, okay. So yes, we had this system of government set up with a three branches struggle against each other and the federal government struggles against the state government. They're all intentioned together. It's this real Goldberg apparatus set up intentionally to restrict the power of the state over individual Americans and their families and their churches. A magnificent rare, almost unique historical creation. The only presidents are things like Switzerland. And immediately, of course, fallen human nature starts to chafe against it, corrupt elite start to try to frustrate and corrupt and pervert the system. But the slave power between 1830 and 1860 the slave owning elites of the south were the first, I think, arguably the first elite conspiracy to corrupt the political system. They used their power in the Senate to frustrate all progress in terms of settling the west unless they could spread slavery and spread slavery further and further west, even though slavery was meant to die out. It was supposed to die out Jefferson, Washington, all thought it was an institution that would wither away. The slave power, the wealthiest elites of the southern states who owned a vast plantations worked by slaves. They insisted on extending slavery further and further to the west. They wanted it in California. And as we saw during the Civil War, they wanted to capture Cuba and conquer Mexico and reintroduce slavery. They wanted to go down to Brazil. They wanted a huge slave empire. So we had those elites of the south basically fool the people of the southern states into seceding from the union, and we had a Civil War.

Who Is Liz Wheeler?
"Before we continue the fun, for people who don't know who you are, 'cause there's some people, you know, the people who know who you are, just love you and can't get enough of you, but there are a lot of people that don't know who you are. So how do you describe yourself, you're a conservative Christian, I don't know, pundit observer, cultural commentator. Yeah, yeah, I usually describe myself as a political commentator. That's correct. Yeah, I'm a conservative, of course. I'm openly Christian. I know that's a little different than some other Republicans and conservatives. One of my specialties is the culture war. I think that all of the governmental structures that we have in our nation, whether it's the three branches of government, whether it's the idea of a constitutional republic with enumerated powers, this limited amount of federal government power that can not be, it can not exist if we don't have a strong nuclear family where people rely on their spouses and their parents and their children within this unit instead of relying on the government. So the culture war has been my specialty for years and I host the Liz Wheeler show. We talk about cultural and political issues, break it down. I always describe my show as being personal because it is a podcast, so we're kind of sitting there talking together. It's one of my, this is sort of a personal part of me that I bring to the show is being super hyper researched. I do not want to make a claim or make any kind of argument without all of the facts, I like to show people the facts. You see, that's where we get for. That's where we differ Liz. I just wing it.

"third branch" Discussed on Leading Saints Podcast
"I used to manage work for a company here in Green Bay that was the second largest health information management company. And so we digitized medical records and the whole 9. There's a whole $1 billion business behind that. But I managed a collections department. And I learned early in my management life that the job of a manager, your real job is just to move away obstacles from people. So they can be successful. Yeah. Not you. You're not doing anything. You can't make the engine run. All you can do is spot things let me fix that before it breaks. Or let me remove that obstacle so that that person can continue success. And so I liken that a lot to my job as a high consulate. My job is to help them know that there are resources. When their leaf sidey president wants to speak with the stake relief site president council with them, I need to let to make sure that the third branch released by president knows that I'm available to translate because that person doesn't speak Spanish. Now we just have a brand new stake high councilman called for the young man's president. Speak Spanish. Super excited for that. But it's the whole thing of our Sunday school president from the state when he wants to meet with the GB for our third branch. Sunday school president, make sure we facilitate that communication. Make sure that when the new videos just came out about Sunday school for teaching in the savior's way, they have updated videos. I do my best to make sure that here's the Spanish versions. To make sure that because again, people, it is very easy for people to feel not apart when we forget little things like a link in Spanish. Because of the culture of the Spanish speaking culture, it is, we're at church, everyone says hi to everyone. We shake hands. We hug. It's full on love. Everyone knows that you are happy that you're there. That happens in the first ward as well, but with people I'm comfortable with. You don't do that with everybody. It's just different culture. And so it's very easy to make people feel like I just remember one time I mission I forgot to shake someone's hand. As a missionary in the elders quorum. And you would have thought that I said something super offensive. But I just forgot to shake his hand that day. And so that's kind of my, again, as I look at my job as a high councilman, it's to make sure that they are understanding that there's resources available for them. That we are available that I'm available specifically to them for any of their needs, and not get in their way. Yeah. Because I think sometimes we have a tendency to think, oh, they're a small branch. They don't have the resources. They don't have the longevity in the gospel. So how can they know how to run the gospel? Or read the handbook? Yeah. Love it. And I'm really passionate about that and serving in a certain Sacramento Spanish speaking.

The Founding Fathers Were Very Clear About Separation of Powers
"Go back to the founding fathers, they were very clear about separation of powers and consent to the governed and checks and balances. Three branches equal any fourth grader that's taught civics of which they're increasingly not taught civics could tell you exactly the moral premise behind separation of powers. Starting in the 1920s, simultaneous, by the way, with kind of the regime of scientists and scientism is there was this fourth branch of government, where Woodrow Wilson, one of the worst presidents in American history, basically made an argument that the kind of founding fathers and what they said and what they did, that's old, that's outdated. We got to turn our back on that a new era is here. We have technology and we can govern men through different ideas and practices. Now, the implications of that is that an entire new regime, if you will, of governmental power and control was ushered in, that does not really fit into those checks and balances. For example, the power is no longer in Congress or in the executive branch, the power is in the deepest kind of chasms of the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service, the EPA, and you have this unregulated regulatory agencies that are unchecked largely unknown with unlimited power. And it's very hard to then check and balance it, and then you all of a sudden have very bad things happen. And you ask yourself, who actually voted for this? So for example, Congress should say, if you're funding gain of function research at Boston University, not only should he lose your funding, like you should be arrested. This is insane.

"Sometimes they are positive, but it is just that the rules can change, unilaterally based on those in power. And there's unpredictability. The difference is, if you showed up to play that backyard football, and they had basically a granite tablet. And they had chiseled the rules in. And these are the rules. If you play the game, these are the rules we play by. Yes. And now there is no debate. Yes. It is, there are the rules and no one's gonna walk over even with a racer on a marker. And let me erase rule number three and write a different one. They are literally chiseled into granite. That is two different environments. And that's, I think, ultimately what we're talking about is this analogous situation where you can not change the monetary policy. And it does not matter how many people you get that want to do that. Because there have been people who have wanted to change, whether it's monetary policy, technical components, whatever. been able to loosely coordinate with more than 50% of the hash rate in the miners. Still can not do it. And this idea, which I haven't heard a lot of people explore, is that in the United States government, which I think most people would look at and point say, this is a democratic government. And it's the best that we've seen so far. Can somebody come up with a better solution? Maybe. I don't know what's going to happen in the future. But right now this seems to be the best way of governance that the world has ever seen. We have three branches of government. And those three branches of government provide checks and balances on each other. In the Bitcoin ecosystem, we also have three branches. You have the developers. You have the nodes and you have the miners. And those three branches of Bitcoin end up providing checks and balances on each other.

'Fire in the Streets' Author Douglas Groothius Describes His New Book
"My book, especially one section in the middle, is a look at American history and our founding principles of civil government. And you have to realize people that are very influenced by critical race theory and Black Lives Matter think that America has to be fundamentally transformed to hearken back to a well-known phrase by Barack Obama. Who really set the stage for a lot of this. I go into that in the book to some extent. But it's not true. We don't need to transform America. We need to hold America accountable to its highest ideals. And one thing I'm very concerned about is the fundamental distrust or the fundamental hatred for basic American institutions. I mean, we have a very brilliant form of civil government based on the view that human beings are not perfectible. We're fallen. Therefore, you don't concentrate government in a king or in an autocrat. You have the three branches of government. They have specific duties, and so what I see with a lot of people on the far left is they'll say, well, if the Supreme Court doesn't give us what we want, then we say it's illegitimate. The whole thing is a legitimate why, because we didn't get what we want.

Matt Whitaker Reacts to the Supreme Court's EPA Ruling
"On a case that is not getting frankly as much in is because it takes a little bit more to discuss, but it's pretty plain and simple. The EPA court, I was excited as much about the West Virginia case, is any of the other case believe me, I was excited about the Dobbs case and others. But this EPA case is something you saw firsthand dealing in the administration level that executive branches have believed that they can have more power than Congress gives them to give us your thoughts on that. Well, I think there's always been an unholy alliance between the administrative state, the ABC admin, you know, unelected bureaucrats and the Congress who don't have to make the tough choices of what they're actually going to regulate. And so they've offloaded in very vague statutes. Some of these powers, whether it's to regulate water, regulate air, quality, regulate all these issues, and of course the administrative state has picked up the baton and run as far as they possibly can. This West Virginia case, I think you're right. I think it's a very important case. Probably not the most important because Dobbs, you know, certainly. Was revolutionary in its restoring the balance of power in the constitution between three branches in the states, but ultimately this West Virginia case versus the EPA is puts the administrative Genie back in the bottle. Makes Congress pass specific legislation to address these issues that are determined to be important. And again, a restores power to the people and takes it out of Washington, D.C., and out of these unelected bureaucrats. So

The SCOTUS Draft Leaker Is Trying to Destroy the U.S. System
"My question, John, is that when somebody does something like this, when they leak something like this, what they're trying to do is destroy our whole system. We have a system. We have rules. We have three branches of government. They're basically saying, if we lose, we're going to riot. If we lose, we're going to burn down your house. We're going to pick it Alito's house. We're going to pick it justice Thomas's house. We're going to make it impossible for you to exist in America if we don't get our way. That is holding the democratic process hostage. It's holding the United States of America hostage. If we don't fight against that, if we don't make people understand that we have rules here, folks, we have rules. We have elections.

Is Roe v. Wade on the Ropes?
"We did know that the abortion case was taken up by the United States Supreme Court, the third branch of government article three, 9 justice on the Supreme Court in that way for a 150 years, the current regime wants to change it. And they want so essentially the issue is this is that Mississippi has passed a law that outlaws abortion at 15 weeks. The Mississippi solicitor general has decided to take that law and defend it through court, the pro abortionists, the people that are on the side that it's not a human life, it's just something else called the cells, the center for reproductive rights, they're arguing out in front of the Supreme Court. Now, I'll be very honest. My expectations were low. I'm a very pro life individual. I speak out about the scourge of abortion. We've done that on many different occasions here on this program and on our podcast. In fact, I encourage you to check out the Seth Gruber conversation from this last weekend. Connor, what great timing that we posted Seth Gruber when we did? We were holding on to that sets of dear friend. He is one of the most articulate pro life activists. I encourage you to check out that podcast, the best case against abortion you will hear. And I did not expect to have much action. I expected the justices actually Alito and Thomas I expected to probably draw a line. I didn't expect some of the middle justices like Gorsuch or Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett to start to signal that they were somewhat sympathetic with the Mississippi abortion law. Now we have a lot of sound that I want to get to here. We have a lot of different kind of cuts that I want to get and the name of the case because you're going to be hearing this time and time again is Dobbs versus Jackson's women's health organization. Dobbs V Jackson and it's looking like for just kind of a bystander that roe versus wade might be on the ropes.

"A room he's worked for 36 years Yes it is And yes he did work it again but most of those years he was there in another century another era The old collegiality factor the sense of the Senate being a workshop for compromise That's largely been lost in more recent decades and it's only gotten worse since Biden left in 2009 Today senators are often sold proprietors They run their own strategies quite apart from the leadership or The White House sustaining themselves in their own ecosystems And in the house the progressive caucus is now nearly 100 members and far more aggressive and insistent and it refuses to knuckle under to the Senate Let me draw you out on that run How do you explain that Several things All members of Congress now need to be more outward facing more engaged with their folks back home and their Twitter followers and their donors There's not so much of the old inside game by which people could quietly build relationships and build careers in a mass power So it's harder to pressure members to settle for less than they want or less than what they've promised their voters and donors And if that's true for Biden's party it's arguably even more a reality on the right where we've seen the house's most dedicated conservatives drive two Republican speakers into early retirement in just the last ten years So all this makes it harder to harder than ever to slap or back slap your way to a deal Speaker Pelosi is said to be very good at the mathematics of the house though isn't she She may well be the best and that's why she pulled down the bi F on Thursday night rather than hold a vote that she knew she would lose Let's remember here too that the Democrats are in this in part because the Republican Party is totally united in its opposition So while not so long ago a president could count on at least a few votes from the other party Today the majority has to do it all on its own So there's still a little time left before the debt limit really bites and the United States defaults And it's checks balance We may have two weeks in which to avert that Polls show the country actually does want these two bills to pass in some form So while it might take a miracle miracles can sometimes be managed And let's get to the third branch of the government if we can because a new term of the Supreme Court is about to begin Monday begins the new term of

300 people It turned the heart of the city wood frame buildings quickly constructed on wooden sidewalks into ruins and left a 100,000 people homeless Our family is an engraving from the London

1200 people died in and around peshtigo Wisconsin It was the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history Survivors had the flames bulak hurricanes jumping across Green Bay to light swabs of forest on the opposite shore The million and a half acres burned Chicago's fire came to be seen as a catastrophe that also ignited the invention of steel skyscrapers raised up in the city's ashes It is overshadowed the prestige fire and for years the two were seen as separate almost coincidental disasters Many of those houses inside walks that burned in Chicago had been built with timbers grown around peers Forest conveniently owned by William Ogden Chicago's first mayor in the sawmill too Chicago's fire was long blamed falsely and Irish immigrant families cow kicking over a lantern Some people thought the pesky go fire started when pieces of a comet landed in the forest which has never been proven What we understand better today was that the Midwest was historically drawing the summer of 1871 and low pressure front with cooler temperatures rolled in and stirred up winds which confined sparks into wildfires The fires themselves turn it more winds Several parts of nearby Michigan also burned

I believe I love this headline from study finds dot org. Always find a bunch of great Obscure studies study finds that drinking two cups of coffee instead of one better for your heart, you know stuff like that. But this one's amazing. I'm going to read you the headline and take you through the emotional roller coaster of it. Just 56% of Americans can name all three branches of government. A 15 year high. That's the headline. So you read the headline and, according to this study, Which is a poll by the Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center. Just over half of us can say legislative executive and judicial branch. But apparently 15 years ago, it was significantly lower 15 years ago. Get this. 33% of Americans could say what are the three branches of government and answer it correctly? This isn't my favorite story because of how, uh, uninformed. We are as Americans and I know you listening aren't because you're listening to the news Right now. You're listening to us, Therefore you are informed, but there are so many people. In this country. Who just I don't know if it's going to be if it's ignorance or blissful ignorance or just plain. This is an indictment on our education system in the civics, part of high school and all that. That were 56% of Americans can name the three branches of government and that's at a 15 year high. That's crazy. I mean good on Americans getting better at it, and I think it's probably because of how divisive and crazy pop the political scene has been for the last 34 years. I'm sure that has to do with it. Impeachment and Supreme Court justices going through the ringer and what not But still that's that's pretty crazy. And here's my second favorite story of the day. We haven't done this yet. There is a company Called colossal. It's a Biosciences and genetics company. Comprised of scientists and entrepreneurs. They have announced they're moving forward with a plan to bring back the woolly mammoth from extinction. Boys and girls. I've seen this movie before. It's called Jurassic Park. We know how this goes. It's not a good idea, Colossal says they're able to resurrect the woolly mammoth. Or similar cold resistant elephant with quote all of the core biological traits of the woolly mammoth. Here's where it gets crazier. They say it's also about reviving a healthier ecosystem. Colossal, says the mammoths natural environment, which is the Arctic tundra. Was in much better condition when the furry giant Rome did, they say by resurrecting the wooly mammoth they can help curb climate change. I mean, This is crazy. They're saying that the Arctic been stripped of grasslands, which offense efficiently absorbs carbon and by bringing the mammoth back that the once against graze in the fields and and eat grad. Again. I've seen this movie. We know how it ends. Jurassic Park is not a good idea. I mean, ask anyone who has seen those movies. But I mean good on you, I guess Colossal wanting to bring back uh, woolly mammoth. I'm waiting for the day where they try to bring back the Velociraptor and God help us all. It's 8 55.

So as we get into the fall It is very likely that vaccines will be available down to five or six years old as we get into October and early November, Felch and speaking of the schools, that's why I went to pick up my top three takeaways today. By the way, we're on standby. Governor De Santis is going to make a quote major announcement pertaining to the schools. Isn't Duval for this? Which is one of the mass defending counties right now, anyway, 10 20 coming up here about 15 minutes will certainly monitor that one. I would not be surprised if it doesn't have implications for South Florida's school districts now Speaking of which, surreal is my top takeaway? Surreal. It's the best way that I can describe what's happening in South Florida school districts because here's the deal, the state is saying school districts with school mass mandates without parental opt outs. They're violating the law based on the Florida Board of Education's role mandating parental choice, all right. So after a protracted legal battle, the first District Court of Appeal agrees with the state, meaning that the judicial branch of government, in addition to the action previously taken by the legislative and executive branches have all acted to ensure that parents have choice as to whether their Children have to be mass at school all day or not. That's the law, and it's currently settled by all three branches of government. And yet south border school districts now As they just no, No, We don't need no stinking. Well, We don't care what you're thinking. Laws are No, not right in here. So They're not exactly putting it that way. But they might as well have yesterday in speaking with Broward School Superintendent Dr Vickie Cartwright might have hurt her. You didn't Go to the Brian Mud podcast page. W i o d dot com and listen to that interview. I thought it was very insightful. She said. They just don't think they're breaking the law. And that to me is a bit surreal. I wouldn't recommend trying this at home. Something tells me that if you break the law, your story ends badly. If you simply tell authorities that you don't think so, Because you you don't think you're breaking the law. But they tell you you're breaking Now look to Dr Carr writes credit. She was willing to have. Come on and have this conversation. Answer the tough questions and I have a great deal of respect for that. Even if I might have been a little bit puzzled by the answers. And it's certainly more than I can say for the once reliable Miami Dade School superintendent Alberto Carvahlo, who had time for CBS's face the Nation on Sunday and for Palm Beach County's new Give Me Lawyers, Guns and money, Super Michael Burke. They both ducked my interview requests for over a month at this point that hey, When you don't think you're accountable to the law, Why should anyone be surprised when you're not accountable to your community? Unless, of course, it's by the local news video that either won't ask the tough questions and hold your feet to the fire because they're worried about access to you and to the school district and in many respects, disagree with lawlessness. But for now, the question simply becomes. Where do we go from here? So yesterday I mentioned an option is to sue them. Now, if you're a parent of a public school student, and you don't want your child mass at school all day. Don't have them, do it. If the school districts take punitive action against your child, sue them. That's very much a strategy here. I mean, it's also an absurd reality because you know your Children should ever be put in that position by a lawless school district. That's violating your rights. But hey, here we sit So what the school districts appear to be willing to do. And their lawless legal game of chicken with your kids. Caught in the middle is to force the hand of Governor De Santis now should they hold firm and device state law Governor De Sanchez. He's well within his legal right to remove all defined school board members and superintendent stay wide. And that's kind of my impression of what's happening here. You see, the districts are no longer afraid of losing funding because Biden administration has said they'll make up for it with federal funds. So instead you got these rogue school districts that seem to think, Hey, there's safety in numbers. Perhaps thinking Governor De Santa surely wouldn't turn over dozens of school board members and superintendents. And I'm sure that wouldn't be his preference here. But I do think that's a political calculation. And that's one way that this could end. And I'll also remind all parents once again. You've seen how far the school districts will go to violate the Florida Board of Education's policy regarding mask. What other violations are they willing to take on like, for example, potentially teaching, I don't know. Critical race theory. We can't trust our school districts to adhere to the law. Therefore, you can take for granted what's happening or some cases, not in the classroom. Their takeaway today we are not going to let people get fired because of the vaccine mandate. Speaking of Governor De Santis, That's what he had to say, as he announced the state would be finding local governments. $5000, per instance of mandating covid 19 vaccinations as a condition of employment starting this Thursday. Now the Santa specifically supporting 200 firefighters suing the city of Gainesville over the recent vaccine mandate. Speaking of those firefighters, Attorney General Ashley Moody, who was taking legal action on their behalf. Against Gainesville. She warned that the state could face a crisis with recruiting first responders. Were these mandates allowed to stand, so the state's anti Biden approach comes with a few questions. Will local governments like Palm Beach County's tax collector who already fired unvaccinated employees be held accountable. Well, local governments that mandate regular testing for the backs like Miami Dade potentially be subjected to find one soon, But we know this from the governor. We are not going to let people get fired because the vaccine mandate That seemingly applies to the wannabe dictator Biden's mandate and to the local wannabe dictators alike. Now. Joining us From the RNC. Tommy Piggott. Tommy. I know you can take on a lot of different topics. We'll talk here about blinking his testimony. He's getting ready for date you actually day two is underway now at this point, But before we go there, I would be interested in getting your thoughts about Biden's Unconstitutional vaccine mandate and the unprecedented overreach with with executive authority here. Well, you just hit the nail on the head that it is unconstitutional. It's why are Chara woman announced hours after the mandate was announced that we would be suing to protect businesses? And their liberties. We recognize that most people don't have the legal resources to stand up to the federal government. They don't have the power to stand up to this massive overreach. They don't have the time. They don't have the legal resources. They don't have the money. So the RNC is going to be taking that role like you mentioned. Governors are also stepping up to to combat mandates that are unconstitutional or to be one of those organizations that going to be saying you're not going to be violating Liberties and really with the point of this here is, you can be pro vaccine in anti mandate. That's not what really discussion here is. The discussion is whether you believe the government has the right to mandate someone take this vaccine or whether you believe Americans have the right to make their own health decision. Gave me pro back scene and pro freedom and that's really the position of the RNC is taking care, and that's why we're going to be taking steps to stop this mandate from Joe Biden. Topic to your point. Actually, the 200 firefighters that are suing the city of Gainesville. Most of them are vaccinated, and they're doing it on principle for the reasons that you just cited. If you don't stand for principles somewhere along the way, something that you care about those rights will be usurped as well. Especially with this type of overreach. Okay, So let's talk about this whole situation with stinking blinking. So yesterday he was schooled by a number of congressmen, one of which happened to be.

"In blue states. Hey, hey, hey, The problem is, as Democrats see it, meaning her the so called journalists. Social speak for Democrats. Girlssoftball the piss sake, and they're off to the races. Go ahead. States where many of these decisions are already being made. What leverage do you actually have? And what realistically do you think you can accomplish in some of these? Hey, what can you do about these red states that are following the Constitution? What can you do about them? You have no leverage left. What can you do? Tell us, please. Is there something Go ahead. Well, first, I think the the point we've been making is that it's part of federal approach that is needed, and I think it's important to remember federal approach that's needed. They blew $400 billion At $1.9 Trillion relief bill. Going to the G A o year after year. 25% of the federal budget is blown to waste fraud and abuse. The borders wide open intentionally, so legal aliens come pouring. It is a disgrace. What's taking place in this country? They spend money. Like their drunken Marxists, trillions and trillions in debt. Undermine law enforcement. They undermine the United States military. They put more and more people on welfare, and by that I mean middle class. Suburban people on welfare. And now they want to fix quote unquote, our election system. Ladies and gentlemen, what could go wrong with that? And that would be the same party that wants to fix our courts. Now. What's the fix the filibuster role that what's the fix The Senate pack? The courts packed the Senate kill the filibuster. Russell, we can get things done. And now we should turn over elections to them. What do you think? Wow. Wouldn't that be great? This is a power grab intended to destroy The political And philosophical diversity of the states. A direct shot in the heart of our constitutional system. Go ahead. At this point, um, state legislatures, as you referenced across the country are passing away of anti voter laws based on the same they're not. They're not passing anti voter laws. That's why would a red state the anti voter, if it's mostly Republican? Does that make any sense to anyone when you don't want their passing anti voter laws so Yeah, yes, they are. They're making it impossible to vote. You know Michael Steele, So damn, when did he can't come up with a voter ID? Oh, my goodness. So what's his problem? Signature verification. We can't have that. That's Jim Crow. We cannot, man. That's a literacy test to compare. Somebody shouldn't and you know, it's amazing. They're the ones that come up with red tape pile after pile of regulation. If you actually earn money and pay enough in taxes, you got to look at the tax code under penalty of perjury yet to sign your your tax return, so If you have a complicated return, you actually have to hire people because you don't know what the hell is going on. But getting a voter ID. My God, How am I going to get they can't afford that? How are you going to get a voter ID? This is Washington. The so called phony think tanks. The ideologues and the media. You go into various communities. Ami Horowitz has done it once he's gone in the black community. Given what our idea Yeah, man, why are you asking me such a stupid question? Because these people aren't in the neighborhoods or the hood. They're not in the suburbs are nowhere. They talk to each other. It's pathetic. It's sickening. They represent nobody. But they get power. Go ahead. And lies. Shut up, you idiot! There's another idiot! But this filibuster rule We've got to get rid of it. Because we the Democrat Party. We have a massive majority in the Senate. 50. Excuse me. That's a tie. Wow, you have Kamala Harris. Yeah, that's under what we call the Constitution. She can break ties. As the president of the Senate. That's one of our jobs that and, uh You know, almost nothing else. Oh, We have this grand majority of 50 and Kamala and we can't get things done that we want to get done like turned the country upside down and inside out, or Joe Biden says, bottom up. Center out whatever the idiot says. We've got to get rid of this filibuster raw and we know why. Because Debbie stabbing out who 87, the senior senator from Michigan, says. That Alexander Hamilton would want us to do this. Cut four go. Money calculus has changed. I came to the Senate 20 year. What she means by that they're all frauds. You see a little window of opportunity. They all supported the filibuster. They were filibustering left and right Republican nominees to the federal bench first time in American history. We had one after another after another. They weren't just filibustering. They were using the filibuster in ways that it was never used before. Now. Hey, we can with the Phillippi racism, racism. I've had a change of heart. Racism. Raise it no matter what you tell him. Obama used it. Cory Booker used Hey, racism, racism. I've had a change of heart. Okay, so we should all follow you off the bridge, right? You had a change of heart. Debbie stabbing now. Wow. Go ahead. You at that time similar to our senator from Arizona and the world has completely flipped upside down. We now have a perversion of the rules. We have tyranny of the minority really have a perversion of the rules. And we have perverts who abuse the rules. Mental midgets who pervert the rules. Nothing wrong with the rules. You know the rules. They just get in our way. Ladies and gentlemen, we got together, So they cite the Constitution. And then they trashed the Constitution. They cite the filibuster than they trashed the filibuster. You get the point. They want secure borders and they want open borders and you get, you know, whiplash just trying to follow this part. Just giving all they want is power. That's all. They want to crush any opposition period. Like the Marxists, like the Communist parties in every single country where they take over. I'm not kidding. And the fools in the media. Go right along with. Yeah, That's right. All right. You got to admit it there, right? Go ahead. Alexander Hamilton is probably rolling over in his No. He's not rolling over in his grave at all. Have you read the Federalist Papers, You idiot. He didn't favour pure democracy either. By the way, he was a white man who opposed slavery. I just want to report that so everybody knows that. Alexander Hamilton is probably rolling over in his grave. Ladies and gentlemen. Because Debbie stabbing out and the boys and the girls and the Democrat Party don't have complete power.

What he'd think of stabbing now and the boys and the girls and all their spending. And all their money printing.

And then they want to take your taxpayer money, your hard earned money and they want to bring it into campaigns. So it's No. I think we way we just lost. We'll try and get Kevin McCarthy back. But I think these broader issues of principle and so forth are important. Ladies and gentlemen, and I think Kevin McCarthy make some tremendous points here. Important points. And I'll tell you something else. It's not every Republican in Congress who wants to come on this program. And Kevin McCarthy comes on this program. Are you there, sir? I'm there, but I think it's the Democrat or Chinese talk me off there because I think it's the Chinese or the Democrats or both. Anyway, a couple of quick questions How does Eric Swalwell remain on the House Intelligence Committee? And how does Omar remain on the foreign policy policy or whatever you call it? Foreign Affairs Committee? When one guy sleeps with a communist spy and the and the other one. Is really in my personal opinion, the mouthpiece for Hamas and the Taliban and these other wretched entities it to me and Nancy Pelosi defends them. The only way they stay on is because a Nancy Pelosi the only way you get on Intel Committee, and it's different than any others is the leader of both parties selects and the Intel Committee. Your listeners have to understand is so different. This is where the the secrets of America are kept. This is where we understand what we fund um And militarily and others to combat our adversaries. Now, think about this. Eric Swalwell in the private sector could not get a security clearance. Mm hmm. But Nancy Pelosi gives him the biggest clearance possible for all the secrets of America that members of Congress cannot get. Except if you're on the Intel committee when he got put on Intel committee. It wasn't that he came to us. The FBI came to Congress to warn us about him and who is associated with, uh you would have thought she would have removed him. Then she kept putting them back on. Why would the FBI know who this person is? And what is the first thing that happens once they warned she left the country? Mhm. Left the country. Well, I don't think Nancy Pelosi cares that much. I mean, when you look at the Portland Federal courthouse here. Third branch of government they were attacked, attacked, attacked and when President Trump sent federal law enforcement to protect that. Federal facility. She called them stormtroopers. Which brings me to my final point. How come some police or stormtroopers and others deserve medals? I don't understand. On the capital.

"Need to go a little bit out of order of what we were planning on talking about here. Because i've been teasing this Jbs cyber attack. It seems for like the last hour haven't been able to get to it. So let's talk about this This cyber attack and what's going on and others limited information right now. Yeah there definitely is but Jbs did reveal over the weekend that it has been the subject of a cyber attack. There is not a lot of information out yet i love her. They have closed several of their packing plants including In canada And in australia as well and A number of other plants Have either either shut down or have had shifts cancel we're we're hearing that Pilgrim's pride which is owned by jbs. has closed Meat processing facilities in utah texas and wisconsin and has cancelled some shifts at plants in iowa and and here in in colorado so We're the the the hack Appears to be a very serious hack and the effects of it. are seem to be spreading right now from plant to plant. And as you know Tyler tanner rather We've had A major attack on different infrastructure in the us with the pipeline Most recently that caused that re taback on the east coast and gas prices soaring and It was almost reminiscent of one thousand. Nine hundred seventy s fuel shortages Back in in the southeast and east here a few weeks ago and now another attack on The the meat supply meat processing facilities for one of the nation's largest meat processing companies and. I think that's why another reason i you watch this. This will probably pick up some steam here and of course the jbs is is going to be able to control this situation at least for the media aspect because they were the one who recognize internally i is why are we i. Is this turning into a trend. Or what are we seeing here. Well i think it definitely is turning into a trend and you know the the oil pipeline hack was traced to bad actors in russia and the the company actually paid them. Four point four million dollars as ransom for for To get their back up and running. We don't know. I've not seen any reports yet on. Wear this hat originated. But they're clearly a bad actors around the world that You know it's not how the possibility that they are. Testing various aspects of major parts of the of the us economy From energy supply the now food supply and jbs is as. You're probably aware accounts for about a quarter of all beef capacity in the us alone and of course they are a global company Jbs usa based in greeley as well as their pilgrim's pride unit based in greeley but their their main headquarters is in brazil Another major beef producer And with major operations in australia so they are a global company and this could have very a wide reaching. It's already having very wide reaching Ramifications be futures of Have gone down at slumped Here with word of this and we're still waiting on A lot more information as to how severe it is. But when they're shutting down plants Around the world You know it's a. It's a significant hack. Yeah it's just crazy to think about how this this is the new way to to really affect the economy but really affect businesses to. Do you think that these big corporations these big companies are. They going to start spending even more money making sure. They've got top of the line software. Because when i think of jbs one of the first things that o or lack thereof rather. I don't think about their website. Or i don't think about. Oh how could you know hacking. That's just how it worked. But do you think these corporations are going to start spending more money on having top of the line. People making sure their stuff is secure. Well i think you will. I i think that there are certain sectors and and energy one One of them For certain I saw an article over the weekend that the federal government may take a greater role in ensuring the security cyber security of the energy infrastructure In the us. So i think the federal government likely will take a greater role and certainly private companies are going to have to get much more Serious about this threat It is a very significant threat. mentioned Jbs accounting for a quarter of beef production but it is a. It's actually the number one producer in the us. It accounts for about twenty three percent of the The nation's capacity So it's a very significant thing and we've had Cyber-attacks mini cyber-attacks in our region. she was victim of of cyber attack and a lot of its data was lost. We've had data That was lost with different healthcare providers in the region Over the years so it really doesn't matter what industry it is but It's a very severe threat In the case of the energy the oil pipeline This was a ransomware attack. Where bad actors in russia Basically took control and and The the pipeline company could not do anything without a getting without paying that ransomware to get the Get the information. They needed to to get back up and running again. We don't know what this hacking tales we don't know if it's a ransomware attack or or some other form of attack but with the pipeline was the colonial pipeline That that stopped Fuel flow for several days. Here in may and you remember the the gas shortages and the the soaring prices and the gas lines that we experienced so it's it's a significant thing and whether there Bad actors that might be domestic Here in the us or Foreign in russia or china or north korea or elsewhere It's a very significant Significant and and disconcerting trend right. Now hopefully they get it figured out quicker sooner rather than later so that we don't see that that trend that downward trend in the markets continue on. We're talking with. Chris would editor publisher of all right. Let's let's talk specs. Shall we Chris yeah why don't we go back of course as we've talked about before backs are At stands for special purpose acquisition company and essentially these are companies that have No operations of their own their foreign with the intent of going public so they go public with the intent of then merging with or acquiring other companies. That actually have products. We've seen this with lightning. E motors merged with a back and therefore Became a publicly traded company on the new york. Stock exchange The lightning motors out of london. we're seeing a company in boulder some logic planning to go public by merging with a back and here lately and we have Several some new back news to report There is a new that is launching in fort collins This is the ceo of a company called site com- which is a a a biotech company They are working on some Clinical trials right now for small doses of An opioid overdose medicine but their ceo has won a spac Seeking to raise one hundred. Fifteen million dollars They are going to be joining. The nasdaq capital market The see the spac is called. Sparta healthcare acquisition corporation and So they have filed to go public with this hundred fifteen million dollars back. We don't know whether this is tied to Siakam plans to go public or or if it would seek some other Acquisition target but a very significant new back in fort collins and and meanwhile Some of the facts that we have talked about including in the boulder market. There's a company called. Gore's group geo ari s that has about six packs And they have received a delisting notices from nasdaq because they were unable to file their quarterly reports on time They're saying we have some new requirements that That the sec has imposed for how stock warrants are treated so They have until july twentieth To Regain compliance with nasdaq And vile those reports They could receive an exemption Going to mid november to file the quarterly reports. But the sec. Did issues of new rules. here in the last month or so as to how some of these house backs treat Some of the stock warrants and Got derivative so it has caused some a little bit of upheaval in the stock market And gorge group is seen that with these delisting notices from nasdaq will and that's what i was just gonna ask. We're talking with chris. Would of biz west When you when you see this go on. I would have to imagine that the public trust in banks it. It has to take a hit. I mean it's not good. Pr to get that delisting notice. Yeah and You know we talked in the past about the out. Chips soared and popularly here The last year. And this year. And i think it might have caught the sec. Off guard a little bit so they had to put some new rules in place for how How some of the The stock warrants were treated and other other factors So it could be just growing pains. I had talked to people who say you know this is just a blip and Specs are here to stay so we'll have to see. I did see we're reporting today. That one of gore's groups specs Has announced its acquisition. Target now the state company that they're looking to acquire or merge with and thereby take that company public and i believe they have They have filed one of the quarterly reports For for one of the backs so A lot of A lot of changes into how house backs after report. Certain aspects of their financials with the sec and book certain things But i could be growing pains But we'll we'll have to see you know stats have a A limited amount of time to find their merger targets. I believe it's Two years I i'm pretty certain of that but anyway of back activities. Still and we will. We'll see what happens with these gorgeous backs here in the in the next couple of months. It's interesting to keep an eye on the trend to see if this is something that that is here to stay or if it could be a flash in the pan chris. Let's elevations credit union opening a new branch. Yeah elevations great. Unit course as based in boulder. It's the old university of colorado credit union Going back in time but they have now opened their third branch in fort collins. They they have a branch on east harmony road. That will be relocating A little bit further east here soon and they have a branch on south college but This one as a very significant project.

Growth continued Well interesting questions coming out of this chris. What are some things that you're going to be keeping an eye on. Obviously i would imagine the jbs cyber attack. That's going to be at the top of the list for you. Watch and how that impacts you know because specifically here northern colorado. I mean. that's a lot of people that are working today and just at the plant or you know the truck drivers and stuff in there What do you. How do you expect that to play out. What else are you looking at watching. Well we're gonna we're gonna keep an eye on that and see if What they reveal in terms of the scope of that hack As a as we said it's obviously very significant thing but We want to know what what it will mean you know. How long will it take Four the plants get fully up and running again Not only in colorado but also globally so It has a lot of ramifications for our our entire economy. I mean just look at how much the Jbs and that industry How much of an impact. They have on the northern colorado and the colorado economy so very very significant. So we'll be watching that and Always lots of tracking to on action public companies as. Well also keep an eye on all of those things here chris. Thank you so much for your time as always enjoy catching up within. We'll talk with the next week. All right good thanks. Chris would editor publisher of biz. West magazine appreciate chris's insight on jbs and that's obviously a story. We're going to be continuing to track as well ten fifty one the time. Let's.

"This is an attempt to govern by executive action, and I think you know if this were to continue on at this pace, we'd have something like 5000 plus by the end of the first term. So this is something where I think they all of these have to be challenged. Anything that creates a legal challenge needs to be acted on. And that's why we have a third branch of government to say no, this is unconstitutional, and it's not going to stand and by the way, where is the legislative branch here? There were there used to be three co equal branches of government and the Legislature. I saw the Senator Schumer, the majority leader in the Senate, you know by one tie breaking vote, actually advocating that President Biden call a national emergency on the climate so he can take executive action. He's willingly handing over the power of his legislative body to the executive branch. Is he not see the damage that could cause for future governments? Yeah, beyond your pointing out something that you do regularly. I love your show, and you do regularly pointed out and that is that, you know, we're a nation of laws. We have this thing called the bill of rights. We have these three branches of government and you have to defend the institutions because it's It's only the institutions that live forever. It's not us. And so at the end of the day, you know what Schumer is doing. In many ways, this is sort of the rebirth of demagoguery. It's the idea that you know anything that serves my political will is somehow permissible. Even if it means damaging the institutions that I'm supposed to be faithfully sworn to keep keep alive and well, by the way and want to be clear here, and I know that you mean this Robert Charles. When we stayed defend the institutions were specifically meaning the institutions that are delineated in the Constitution. There's a lot of people who think they get into the education Department. They think their job is to protect and defend the institution of the Education Department. Never know their job is to protect and defend the Constitution. And that's what Chuck Schumer is relinquishing here. That's right. And as you as you point out, and most Americans used to know, from a high school education, maybe even elementary school education is we have three branches. You know, the executive the legislative and judicial and each of them is populated by people who are sworn to defend the Constitution, which means that in their role, whether you're a judge or a legislator or president, you're supposed to be defending. Constitutional prerogatives of that institution, which simply means that you get along with others and make your institution work. Well, Robert Charles, I wish I could say I learned it in school.

I mean, we know that binds in the White House Democrats not have the tiebreaker, and Kamila Harris, the vice president, tied 50 50 there. And then, of course, the Democrats controlled by the Congress, House representatives controlled by the Democrats as well. Does the market really care if it's the Republican part of the Democratic Party? Do they are this Amar the markets More concerned with What are the policy's going to be? Maybe?

What do we know? Well, the Democrats have the majority and all three branches. But what's important, understand about all this is the market's care about policy, not party. It always has. And so when it comes to policy, bad policy is bad policy but is gonna wait and see what happens. We don't know what policies they're gonna roll out. Now. Our fear is that we'll get we'll swing way too far one way to the left for people and create some bad policies. Whatever. But the reality is is that's probably not going to happen. I mean, we are in the middle of a pandemic. Mark, you know, so Realities is what's happening now on what we see is because of that. What's going to be coming for sure is more stimulus. So we are going to have more stimulus. We're gonna have more checks. We're gonna have some stimulus on infrastructure spending and no tie those type of things.

Anyone who raises taxes without the consent of the people doesn't belong in political office. I'll say that again. Anyone who raises taxes without the consent of the people does not deserve to be in political office. Thank you can't appreciate the call to Grand Ferry. We go, Reg. Welcome The Crystal Saito show.

So again, I'm you're absolutely correct these these monopolies and do our police have been allowed to exist courtesy of socialist Democrats, who have no idea what good public policy is and timid Republicans. And I want everybody with the sound of my voice to see what Reg was just talking about where we are courtesy of the timidity of Republicans. You have just had your voice silenced. Bye, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Google and Apple. You have just had your voice silenced because they hate conservatives. They're bigots toward conservatives. And nobody in your federal government wants to do a damn thing about it. The Republicans are yelling. Guess what? They have no power. So what can we do? We can control What's going to happen here in Texas? My recommendation is we make Texas and opportunity zone and we welcome companies that are not behoove into the Chinese way of totalitarian ism the way Amazon is the way Twitter and Facebook are the way Google certainly is, as they have aided The Chinese government and suppression of information on their search engines in communist China, In essence, Google aiding and keeping the communist boot on the throat of the Chinese people.

"It is 6 30. President Trump put out a new video on Twitter today. His suspension was lifted in the video. He admitted that a new administration is taking over on on January 20th and called out the violent mob of his supporters that took over the U. S Capitol yesterday. Trump calls it a heinous attack that left him outraged by the violent lawlessness and mayhem. I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders. As we all saw yesterday, it took several hours from the time the capital was breached until the National Guard troops showed up. Yesterday. In my view, one of the darkest days in the history of our nation. That's President elect Joe Biden, who took a few jabs at Trump earlier today, saying, Ah, president is not above the law. Not only do we see the failure to protect one of the three branches of our government We also saw clear failure to carry out equal just, Biden said yesterday was not about protesting rather chaos. He noticed the stark differences between how law enforcement reacted to black lives matter. Protestors over the summer versus the writers yesterday. So what went wrong at the U. S Capitol? Even a former FBI agent is struggling to explain it all. I could describe it. In one word. It was madness. Katya years, Peter. Same or has the story Former FBI agent James Gaggle Jano defined yesterday siege of the U. S Capitol as insurrection, quote a violent uprising against in authority or government. It also met the definition of terrorism. Magliano tells gay does and Chad that Capitol police were in his words horrific and without direction. Whoever put the security plan together who didn't sense that this might be something we might need to bolster or buttress in light of the president's comments and social media, police and security? We're also outmanned even after most of the Donald Trump miscreants the word he used had fled. You've got to put two people on everybody you're taking into custody officers were injured. Officers were protecting other parts of it. The rotunda other parts of the Senate buildings there, he won't blame the defund Police movement either gag, Liano says 9, 11 and 20 twenties nationwide unrest should have better prepared the force for what they were seeing yesterday. Now capital and metropolitan D. C. Police must go after and arrest the miscreants again as gag Liano called them. It's gonna be a long and arduous process because they're scattered across the country. They're not indigenous to D. C. So it's gonna take a lot of collaboration between state local instead. But I guarantee you they're gonna go after every person think it possibly identified and bring him to justice. He wants no one excusing their actions, either ones that are poo pooing and saying Well, they didn't burn anything in oil. I didn't shoot anybody so come on. They just wanted to get their grievances aired the period to raise election grievances has passed. That's been exhausted in the courts. And, yeah, Glionna would not entertain discussions of antifa or black lives matter. Leftist activist groups infiltrating the right wing, mostly white trump demonstrators, and I put that in the same category. Do the people that go well, the proud boys infiltrated the black lives matter marches and they're the ones doing the violence and the people on the other side. Well and he for infiltrated, and that was all antifa guys, You know wolves in sheep's clothing. It's such a reductionist argument, he says. Rioters blend together into one violent organism, regardless of political stances, Peter same or Katie Our news, Washington, DC's top federal prosecutor, says all options are on the table, including sedition charges for protesters that were arrested. Other charges could include unauthorized access and theft of property, breaking curfew and unlawful entry. Investigators are combing through the reams of evidence to bring additional charges. You can expect more arrests in the coming days. Meanwhile, the head of the U. S. Capitol police is resigning effective January 16th after this big breach yesterday, and after Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi called on him to step down. Police chief Steven Son says police had planned for free speech demonstration and did not expect the violence. Son says he's never experienced anything like this in his 30 years in law enforcement. And remember that Horn had it bare chested body painted Q and on shaman that storm the U. S Senate chamber yesterday you could take back.

With Prop. 22, Uber and Lyft hope to keep drivers as contractors in California
"Proposition. Twenty two is on the ballot in California right now, it's an initiative sponsored by Uber Lift Jordache and other Gig work platforms that would exempt at based ride hailing companies, Uber and lift basically and food delivery companies from a new state law that requires them to classify drivers as employees. Instead of independent contractors give companies have poured nearly two hundred million dollars into the yes on prop twenty. Two campaign that makes it the most expensive ballot initiative in state history they also threatened to leave California or dramatically raise prices. If it doesn't pass a loss loss, though could embolden other states to insist that APP companies hire their drivers. So let's dig into this fight in quality assurance. The Friday segment where we take a deeper look at a big tech story Sam Harnett is a reporter for. In San Francisco. The good companies are saying if this doesn't pass, we're going to have to potentially suspend service in California and if it passes Uber lift and the rest of the companies will be able to continue operating. The way they were we're operating before their workers would be contractors that means they wouldn't have basic employee protections, unemployment shirts, workers, compensation, and the way this proposition is written, that will be pretty much locked in. There's this seven eighths provisions, which means if it takes seven days of the Senate and assembly in California to make any changes to this proposition and local jurisdictions, cities and counties couldn't make any changes to give gig workers more benefits. Do these sort of same restrictions. This kind of like overturn ability does that apply even if the companies are forced to classify their workers as employees? Well, if you know if proposition twenty, two dozen pass workers will become employees but you know these companies still have billions of dollars and they're gonNA, keep fighting this to claw I mean they see this as an existential threat to their business model so on the one side, if prop twenty passes, the gig model looks pretty solid I mean maybe something federally could lead to a change maybe there could be a lawsuit over procedurally in in the proposition like maybe that seven as provision I mentioned. But it's going to be there on the flip side. If proposition twenty, two dozen pass, you can expect another self of the GIG. Companies. Pretty Pretty. quickly I mean. This is a California ballot proposition but I wonder what implications could it have if it doesn't pass for the GIG, economy nationally Oh huge. I think everybody nationally and internationally is looking at this case you know over the last couple years, you've seen the California Supreme Court the California legislature, and now the attorney general go after these companies and tell them that you know your workers are actually employees and they need basic protections, and if the GIG companies are successful and using the ballot box to defy the three branches of government and maintain their business model I, think a lot of other states and a lot of other countries are going to see that as well the companies they want right
