This episode of the John Phillips Show is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of California. Joining John Phillips is Will Swaim, president of the California Policy Center and host of National Review's Radio Free California podcast, as they dive into the complexities of Proposition 40, a billionaire wealth tax that could have far-reaching consequences for the state's economy and residents.

In this episode, Will Swaim shares his expertise on the initiative, explaining how it would expand the tax base to include a wider range of taxpayers and residents, and how the state's reliance on the tech industry could be severely impacted if the initiative passes. They also discuss the opposition to the measure, including the California Teachers Association, which is concerned that the tax would lead to a decline in revenue for public education.

The conversation also touches on the upcoming Los Angeles mayoral election, where two socialists are vying for the top spot, and the challenges facing the city's public safety efforts. Will Swaim shares his insights on the importance of public safety and how it can be achieved through effective leadership and community engagement.
