A significant portion of the episode addresses Los Angeles’ plan to raise the minimum wage for airport and hotel workers to $30 an hour by 2028.
- Hayley Caronia [1:05:00]: “This is insane. This is just, it's insane. And you have to figure that Gavin Newsom's not so great at balancing the California checkbook.”

The discussion shifts to Portland, Oregon, where Hayley contends that liberal policies have led to rampant homelessness and business closures.
- Hayley Caronia [1:20:30]: “They roll out the red carpet for homeless people. They say you can run amok. Then it's like a shock when businesses don't want to do business there because their staffers do not feel safe.”
