77. Andrew Yang: 2020 Presidential Candidate Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

In 2020, Yang is the first candidate who has proposed a Universal Basic Income. He believes all Americans deserve an income floor to be able to survive without relying on part-time work or government assistance like unemployment insurance or food stamps. Yang's proposal would shrink the size of federal bureaucracy by shifting much responsibility for basic income payments to local levels of government and nonprofits, which means fewer jobs for administrators and more money in people's pockets. Yang makes the argument that a Universal Basic Income would allow people to take more control of their lives, and turn down the meaningless and low paying jobs.

In this episode, he discusses the future of America and how innovation plays a crucial role in it.

75. Alex Villanueva: Sheriff of Los Angeles County Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Alex Villanueva has been a Los Angeles County Sheriff since 2011, after defeating former Sheriff Lee Baca.

What's his plan to regain the public's trust? He is implementing new policies, including a plan to cut back on overtime. He's also cracking down on the abuse of civil forfeiture laws, which allow law enforcement to seize property from suspected criminals and keep the proceeds.

Why is he taking these steps? Public trust in law enforcement has been declining since the rampart scandal of the late 1990s. He is also tackling a problem with deputies who feel they can't be honest with supervisors about misconduct because of fear that they would lose their jobs.

Alex holds degrees from the California State University, Long Beach and the Western State University College of Law. He is also an Eagle Scout.

What does he plan to do in office? He has promised to reopen unsolved murder cases and make sure that victims' families are compensated as well as fight for stricter penalties for domestic violence offenders.
