A Conversation With Tom Steyer

On this bonus episode, days before the California primaries, Cari sits down with billionaire climate activist and California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer to talk about what it costs to be “early,” and why he’s fine taking heat if he thinks he’s right. He says he was ahead of the curve on Trump—“He’s a criminal. Like, this is what impeachment is for”—and defends working with influencers because “one in five Americans gets their political information from influencers,” stressing his team discloses payments and doesn’t buy endorsements. Steyer also addresses the awkward topics: being an “ethical billionaire,” past investments in private prisons and coal, and why he says he changed course and focused on reform, climate, and structural racism. Cari closes with emphasizing the overall importance of "voting" in whatever city, state, or district you may reside.  Connect @CariChampion  Voting Info: Calmatters.org Learn More: TomSteyer.com Subscribe Cari Champion's YOUTUBE Channel  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
