LOTS to talk about this week. Big wins for workers in the state legislature, and now Gavin Newsom needs to be decide whether to sign or veto a bunch of important bills. Former Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced a run for the board of Supervisors in what will be a very busy election cycle.  And huge LAPD police raises have killed a golden opportunity to keep Los Angeles safe. 

All that and more as Brittany Nichols (SAG strike captain and Emmy-nominated writer of Abbot Elementary) and Godfrey Santos Plata of LA Forward join Mike. You can follow Brittani at @BisHilarious on TwitX, and Godfey at @GodfreyPlata
