at least as far as the incentives go, the ones we mentioned, maybe free promotional fares on the weekend. they say they only lose about 15 cents on the dollar because people who get promotional tickets also bring along friends to go on trips with them and they pay full fare. >> interesting. to me, your thoughts? safety is a huge deal. and that's got to be at the forefront of anything that will bring riders back. agreed or not? >> well, no. that's absolutely true. they're taking steps to address that. the police chief says in addition to putting 12 officers out there, only to ride the trains and to address problems there, they're also putting officers in individual stations to work with the ticket agents so they'll know exactly where and when an officer will arrive. they will have lieutenants out every week in their stations to make sure everything is okay. they're working hard making

the democrats in the primary? >> we've done a lot of organizing. now it is time vote. >> how big is 2020 for your movement? >> 2020 in relation to this plan is really the year that we win governing power. >> sometime it's a movement made up of teenagers and 20 somethings who have watched the political establishment. kick the can down the road and fails to deliver on this issue. >> our campaigning and our endorsing gives young people something to rally around. >> my roommates, they're politically engaged. i asked them if they would vote in the primaries. yes. 100%. >> i'm registered. ready to go. >> in november 2019, berkeley igs polled likely democratic voters chose climate change as the next issue for the next

younger voters, because the younger voters are not always the regular voters in a primary election. >> now is the time to do something. >> and please vote. >> please vote. >> so many young people have a chance to change the election. >> the primaries matter. >> such an interesting look into a topic that's top of mind for so many voters. chris, i want to start with this. nationally, of course, health care and the economy tend to be top of mind issues for voters. here in california, we tend on break a little differently. we weigh things a little differently. >> let me tell you what's really interesting that i learned talking to the green voters. not just how motivated they are to vote in the primary but how much they're willing to inspire others to do the same. what does that mean in the context of chasing california? if you are wanting a big voter turnout, climate change is a ge. we talked to a berkeley pollster

and he talked specifically to democratic primary voters last year. and he found climate change is the number one issue for those voters. unlike health care which polls typically hire across the nation. so you have to have a climate change message that resonates. >> so that's what energizes people here. and there's also an age link. >> absolutely. young voters are more politically motivated handle the ever. they're doing it in the name of climate change. >> so you might think that would bode well for bernie sanders. how are the presidential candidates trying to court those voters? every candidate came out with a plan to address climate change. we looked at the report cards. bernie sanders gets best grades. but tom steyer also gets really good grades. and we know about governor inlee is ran on it. you can't win on climate change alone but you can lose without

courting the support of people who vote a lot about the environment. >> all right. steyer is an interesting case. he doesn't poll high nationally but he has been talking about climate change before he even jumped into the race. >> he talks about it a lot. for a lot of the green voters we talked torsion they say this is really important but we can't support a one issue candidate. >> gotcha. obviously, climate change will be a more important issue to folks who have suffered the native impacts of climate change. so i know you went to sonoma wildfires. >> one guy told me. if a candidate is not talking about climate change, he's not even listening. we also talked to organizes of the sunrise movement. this is the youth group that is mobilizing to address climate change and they're lobbying for aggressive climate change policies. and they are campaigning. they are knocking on doors and they're doing it for bernie sanders. they feel like their campaigning will make a huge difference. >> all right. this is all a great insight.
