>> building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions. >> is important to the bay area and we get answers for you in real time. today, the california effect. for decades when california sets bold policy, the rest of the nation tends to follow. is that effect all but

gone in this age of partizan politics? a noted uc berkeley professor emeritus will join us to explore whether our state of influence is over. also as asian american pacific islander heritage month wraps up, our media partner has a story that may work itself into your summer road trip to monterey. it turns out there's plenty of chinese american history, including what a burned down fishing village can teach us. seismic, if not surprising news from the warriors, the longtime president and general manager bob myers stepping down after leading the team to four championships. this one from his news conference. >> thank you for your support, passion, understanding that we were human, we try harder than you can even imagine to give you

what you deserve. i have woken up at 3:00 in the morning way too many times for a job. as you all may know, it is more than a job. that is why you love it. >> joining us to talk about the end of an era, larry beil. thank you for coming. >> my pleasure. i'm sad. everybody is has ever dealt with bob myers feels like it is a tremendous loss. what is really important to understand is what he said, i've had to wake up at 3:00 in the morning far too many times. we don't ever see that. there are so many fires that this man has put out behind the scenes. a couple of which i have been involved with. you have no idea. this is a

with an owner who is quite demanding and expects championships. whenever the team falls short, there is more pressure. and you are dealing with agents, players, ownership, you are dealing with coaches, and you are dealing with all of this. trying to make everybody happy is really hard. >> he had quite a lot to deal with when it comes to the players. you can tell how hard it because it sounds that he loves it and grew up a fan. >> he went to monte vis my kids went. we still go back and still do ceremonies and they go crazy. bob myers day and all of that. i know there was speculation. it was not a huge surprise. for months we have heard the

stories, he doesn't have a contract. i talked to joe lakin. he said it will not be about money. they are offering more money. when a guy is offered this much and still doesn't want it. it tells you where his head is. he will not go to new york, brooklyn, he's not in search of another job. he's in search of his life. like i have a wife, three young kids who i never see. you understand this. >> so time consuming, all-consuming. >> he has made enough money. he's made a lot of money. >> this seasons results did not impact his decision? >> not at all. if they won the championship, he still would have walked away. he would have felt better about walking away because they would be walking away on a high. it is the most challenging

summer the warriors have had since kevin durant left. so many things to resolve. it is an older core of star players to accommodate. a bunch of young guys who don't seem to mesh with younger players. a bargaining agreement that will make it really hard for the warriors to acquire the necessary talent. there are so many moving parts. it is the absolute worst time for bob myers to be leaving the job. whoever has to take over the position, best of luck. >> you talk about what he does so well and uniquely in that role, explain all of the things the president and general manager have to do. >> what sets bob apart is he's the alternate people person. but he's genuine about it. some people are sweet to your face and they will stab you in the back. what you see is what you get with bob myers. i have never heard anybody say

one bad word about him. >> the players trusted him, the owners trusted him. >> you said it, trust. everybody trusts him. that has to be earned over time. it took many years. he's the draymond whisperer. he calls bob myers. that is the 3:00 a.m. phone call. >> i was talking to a member the organization. what surprises you most about what he's done, and he said power, money, and success. when you get all of those three, it changes you. it does for most people. it never changed him. he's exactly the same guy. we've done so many interviews, we laugh because he will crack on me and i will crack on him. it is all part of the bit.

in the end, it is great. i hope i see it. i still expect he east bay where everyone wants to be with his wife. he's not going anywhere. you will see more of his kids games, more dinners with his wife. >> he has earned that. where does he leave the team? you mentioned the team has huge challenges. what will happen next? who will do the job? >> the two names that are most prominently mentioned are mike dunleavy junior, who has been seemingly being groomed. in the past couple of years if you saw bob, mike was like three feet behind him at all times. it seemed like they were ready for the job. one of his sons i would think

might be involved. i don't know that if i was joe i would want to put my son in that position. but they will figure it out. it is for the structure that works for everybody. what do we do it? who are we drafting and who are we trading? there is a million off-season questions. you saw bob and there is mike. he's always there. >> four championships may speak for themselves. sitting next to him, expressing sadness. what are the players saying? >> i have not seen them mention it. reading between the lines almost every press availability late in the season, bob myers question would come up. players would go over-the-top. effusive with praise, almost

saying bob, please come back. we love you. you cannot leave yet. so there is no question. like draymond green, i don't know what he's going to do. not having bob myers as your guide that will stand up in the organization, given the things that have gone on. it will be very challenging. >> we are going to stay tuned. i'm sure you will keep us posted. >> he's given us so much. >> wish him nothing but the best. he will be great no matter what he does. >> thank you, larry. see you less than an hour. california has long been known as a leader helping shape national policy. that might be changing. we will talk with david vogel about the eroding extent of california's

>> it has been set as california goes, so goes the nation. the state earned from breaking policies and laws that eventually propel other states or even the nation to follow suit. this influence has been called the california effect. now, red states are pushing back in an anti-california effect. joining us live is uc berkeley political science professor emeritus david vogel. professor vogel, thank you for your time. before we explore if it is really over, what is the california effect? when did it begin? >> it began in the 1970's. in california effect is basically what happens when california initiates a new policy, such as automobile

emissions, efficiency, renewable energy. chemical safety in calif when they see how well it works in california. for many been believing in the cutting-edge. the very important consumer and environmental policy for the states or in washington began in california. with the creation of in the 1860's, the first national park the united states. a long history. >> is it mainly in the consumer protection and safety area? are we seeing it in terms of values and culture? i'm thinking of gay marriage for example. >> gay marriage is a good example. most people in the environmental area. some of it in social areas varies. historically, the most important has been in health safety,

conservation, coastal protection, things like that. the appliance been very important. the cultural issues like on gay marriage, gender equality, they played an important role. >> why does california have such an outsize effect? is it because we are the biggest state? >> no, texas is a big state, too. it is because we have a beautiful natural environment and people have tried to work hard to protect it. we have a constituency of california, people who care about health and safety. also importantly blessed with a powerful and enlightened business community which we are willing to work with environmental groups and consumer groups on upgrading their standards. i think the fact where the largest source of cleantech investment in the u.s., it is an

important reason. we played an important rule in leadership on climate change. a popular opinion. >> businesses are not just doing it out of their hearts. they make more money by following california's playbook. >> i think they have learned to be better off. if you look at electric cars, they began in california. they spread all over the united states. they have very much learned higher standards, stronger environmental consumer protection is not necessarily against business, but can help businesses as well. it has really driven much of what california has been able to accomplish. >> whether it is economic or social, there seems to be this pushback from red states. we see attempts by either state lawmakers and governors for what is in textbooks or gender

affirmation, protecting fossil fuels, do you see that happening now? >> i think the country is polarized both on partisan lines as well as on geographic lines. so i'm not surprised to see the fact that we see a country that is more divided in so many areas , california on one end, other states on the other. it is important to recognize what the biden administration, california does have a very powerful ally in washington. he has worked hard, using his resources in environmental areas and climate change, and appliances to have the country adopt california's insights. >> do you think more of the impact making is on the state level? you look at congress, it is baylor the -- bitterly d so do you feel more and more that is up to the states?

>> yeah, i think that is unfortunate. on the abortion issue, which used to be federally controlled, now turned over to the states, th we are increasingly divided nation. the structure act, the inflation reduction, there has been a federal policy in the environmental area. a lot of it being done administratively by the biden administration. so i did not despair at fede policy. and health plays an important role in many states, and the democrats and the white house. >> some of it is also the ca che, other states looked up to us, i wonder if that is fading. we have residents leaving california. we have new immigrants. you see the love dynamic

admiration dynamic changing at all? >> i think it is changing very slowly. the business community remains very committed to california's regulatory policies. i think there has been some shift. i think california's impact or other areas keep on evolving. the state continues to play a leadership role. i think it is still a beacon of liberalism within the united states. i cannot think of any other state notwithstanding california's problems. i cannot think of any other liberal state that has become a beacon of enlightened responsible policy. rivaling california. >> how do you think you of this toxic polarization that you have? >> that is a tricky business. the extent to which more and more policies are decided by the states, things are getting very ugly.

i think we look forward to a period in which more and more fragmentation, and more and more policies will be decided by states and the policies will be very different. i think we are going to see more partisan geographic state polarization in the future. that is unfortunate. it underlines the immunity of the united states. >> professor, i don't know if -- uc berkeley, a political grad myself, thank you so much. >> nice talking with you. >> coming up, a part of monterey bay history most of us don't know about. next, from the san francisco standard will join us to discuss the rich cultural tapestries of the chinese fishing village for more than a centur

so i'm mentally preparing for the power outage. oh, well we can help stop one because we're gonna reduce our energy use from 4-9pm. - what now? - i stepped on a plug. oh that's my bad... unplugging. when it comes to preventing outages, the power is ours.

>> as we wrap up may and asian

american pacific islander heritage month, we want to bring you a story that might inspire your next road trip. our media partner at the san francisco standard has a new article out about a long forgotten chinese fishing village. the same year the great quake of 1906, the fishing village was destroyed, burned down in a subsistence -- suspicious fire. joining us with the story and history, han lee. nice to have you on the show. i hope everyone reads your article. many people have no idea early chinese immigrants settled in monterey and played a huge role in the economy. >> when we talk about monterey bay, a foco's and a 1 drive. so starting in the 1850's, chinese-american immigrants started to arrive to america, settling down in monterey bay.

at some point that is one of the largest in california. >> how important did the fishing village become? what kind of things with a fishing? >> earlier chinese immigrant settle down in monterey bay. all kinds of fish and squid, and seafood in different parts of the state. >> and did they contribute the forming of canary row in the hustle bustle? >> at that time, a lot of chinese immigrants were very active in the community, and the fishing village was driving and contributing to the fishing industry. >> what happened in 1906? everything was going great, and something terrible. >> sadly, that was the the anti-chinese movement.

a month after the san francisco earthquake, the monterey bay chinese fishing village was burned down by a suspicious fire. it is driven by anti-chinese rise, because the fire was too big so all of the residents could only evacuate to the other part of california. also, the government and some of the major business at the time did not help for the chinese village resident to review. to try and prevent them to review their community. >> it is sad, recognition and remembrance of that history. i know this past month, we went down there to cover a march, to call attention to that history. tell us about this. >> so started about a decade ago. the chinese community and general chinese american

community started to recognize that part of the history and uplift the story. the tradition of remembrance that they will have a group of people parade on a coastline of where the fishing village used to be located. sharing a story, having gather together and uplift the history. >> talks, have they ever been held? there are cities that have apologized. san francisco, san jose. >> there was a city called pacific grove or the fishing village used to be located. the city passed a officially apologizing to the chinese community of what happened in 1906. apologizing to the descendants. as far as i know, there was no

financial reparation. >> i see that sign, the monterey fishing village, somebody had moved away to bigger cities that were no longer there. acknowledgments and their pain in their past. >> because of the humiliation lot of the stories were not known until recently. they move onto their new life, and their grandparents never really mention a part of history. the asian-american community activist and also civil rights movement, a lot of us will speak up right now. the history should be more highlighted and we have the annual walk of remembrance. all of the immigrant story, they are trying to come to this country, have a better life.

they want to treat immigrants in a more humanized way and the history, remember them in a more humanized way. >> it is just when did your ancestors get here. but for visitors who are interested in learning more, where can they go on the go down to monterey? to see the signs and learn about it. >> there are multiple historic sites that have chinese-american history still there. so one of them is a well cabinet museum and the state park fair. i think the historic site refers to the fishing village cabin that used to be used for fishing . >> thank you so much.
