The Anti-Billionaire Billionaire Running for California Governor: Tom Steyer Interview
4/10/202652 min
Matt Barnes sits down with businessman, philanthropist, and California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer to break down the largest state in the nation, and discuss his vision for California's future.
They cover the housing crisis, a $22 billion corporate real estate tax loophole that's been quietly sitting on the books for decades, and what Steyer would do on day one in office. He also gets into what he thinks the Democratic Party is getting wrong, and why he says fellow billionaires will hate his policies.
They also touch on billionaire-elites buying media entities, AI data centers being built in low-income communities, and the Warriors.
As we approach the Midterm Elections, The Smoke Signal will be bringing prominent voices to the table to have honest conversations about where the country is and where it needs to go.
