Published: Sept. 27, 2022, 7 a.m.

b'Today\\u2019s podcast\\xa0is a conversation with\\xa0Karen Bass, Congresswoman for California\\u2019s 37th district, former California\\xa0assemblywoman,\\xa0and current candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles.\\xa0And you might think,\\xa0\\u201cOk\\xa0I don\\u2019t live in Los Angeles so why should I care?\\u201d\\xa0You should care because\\xa0Los Angeles is the second biggest city in the US, and California\\xa0is\\xa0the\\xa0state with the largest population. So, the things that happen here, end up being the beta test for things that happen across the country.\\xa0What Karen Bassimplements\\xa0in Los Angeles,\\xa0for homelessness or crime,\\xa0if successful,\\xa0will no doubt\\xa0find their way to\\xa0other cities\\xa0and\\xa0states\\xa0across the nation, and\\xa0could be the\\xa0bellwether for federal legislation.\\xa0You should also care because Karen is running against\\xa0a wolf in sheep\\u2019s clothing. The newest way Republicans are trying to undermine the electorate is to trick them into voting for someone who presents themselves as one thing but is actually another.\\xa0Rick Caruso is that candidate, a lifelong Republican billionaire who switched his party affiliation to Democrat just 3 weeks before declaring his candidacy for mayor. He\\u2019s already spent $60 million dollars of his own money trying to buy his way into the job. This is something as an electorate we should not only be aware of, but watch out for in other places. Our democracy should not be for sale and we should be putting people in positions of power who want to serve the people not enrich themselves.\\n\\xa0\\nGuest social:\\nhttps://karenbass.com\\nTwitter: @KarenBassLA\\nTwitter:\\xa0@RepKarenBass\\nInsta: karenbassla\\n\\xa0\\nPlease RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!\\n\\xa0\\nAll\\xa0show\\xa0links here!:\\xa0https://linktr.ee/politicsgirl\\n\\xa0\\nDon\\u2019t forget to send questions via email, video or audio for the ASK PG Episode to:\\xa0ask@politicsgirl.com\\n\\xa0\\nThank you to today\\u2019s sponsor!\\nwww.athleticgreens.com/politicsgirl\\nwww.splendidspoon.com/politicsgirl'
