In this explosive bonus episode of State of Gold, we break down Prop 50 — the controversial redistricting ballot measure that’s sending shockwaves through California. With exclusive interviews and testimony, The Big Rig exposes how Prop 50 dismantles California’s independent redistricting commission and gives politicians unchecked power to draw their own districts.

With historical context and current commentary, this episode explains how a gerrymandered California could rig elections, suppress voices, and set a dangerous national precedent. This isn’t about party lines — it’s about drawing the line on corruption.

Whether you're hearing about Prop 50 for the first time or have been following the controversy – this is the episode you need to understand what’s really at stake.
