1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,640
Speaker 1: Katie Porter.

2
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 2: She is a what is she? She's a Rep. She's

3
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: a California US Representative. She's a Democrat, or she's a senator.

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: Now what is she? She's a rep?

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Right?

6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

7
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's running. Yeah, she's running for governor of California.

8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: She is an insufferable sea hag. And she did some

9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: interview where she basically kind of like lost it on.

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: Was it the reporter that she lost it on?

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? She was being interviewed by CBS's Julie Watts, and

12
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Julie Watts asked her a question, same question she had

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: asked other candidates, what do you say to the forty

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: percent of California voters who voted for Trump? And Porter

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: then called the question unnecessarily argumentative and then she tried

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: to remove her microphone and walk off.

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: We have the audio of this, we do. Let's let's

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: take a listen.

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 4: So, and the question is what do you say to

20
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 4: the forty percent of voters who voted for Trump?

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: need them to win? Part that I don't understand. I'm

23
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: happy to answer. Ques answer the question is you haven't written?

24
00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: And I'll answer and.

25
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: We've also asked the other candidates, do you think you

26
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 4: need any of those forty percent of California voters to win?

27
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 4: And you're saying no, you don't.

28
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every

29
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: vote I can. And what I'm saying to you.

30
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 4: Is that well to those voters. Okay, so you I

31
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: don't want.

32
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: To keep doing this, I'm going to call it. Thank you.

33
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: You're not going to do the interview with them?

34
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: Nope, not like this. I'm not not with seven follow

35
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: ups to every single question you ask.

36
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 4: Every other candidate has.

37
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't care. I want to have

38
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: a pleasant, positive conversation which you asked me about every

39
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: issue on this list. And if every question you're going

40
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: to make up a follow up question, then we're never

41
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 3: going to get there and we're just going.

42
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: To circle around.

43
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: I had to do this before ever, You've never had

44
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: to have an Okay, but every other candidate has done this.

45
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: What part of I'm me? I'm running for governor because

46
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: I'm a leader. So I am going to make so you're.

47
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: Not going to answer questions from reporters. Okay, why don't

48
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: we go through I will contain you to ask follow

49
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: up questions, because that's my job as a journalist. But

50
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: I will go through and ask these and if you

51
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: don't want to answer, you don't want to answer, so

52
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 4: nearly every legislative.

53
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you,

54
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: and I don't want this all on camera.

55
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 4: I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either.

56
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: I would love to continue to ask these questions so

57
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels

58
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 4: about every one of these issues that they care about

59
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: and readis we're taking it's a massive issue. We're going

60
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: to do an entire story just on the responses to

61
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: that question and have asked everybody the same follow up questions.

62
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: She didn't want to do that on camera. She doesn't

63
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: want to have an unhappy experience. What did she expect

64
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: they were going to brush each other's hair?

65
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: Well, there's so many things I wanted to get to

66
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: with this. That's why I wanted to save it for

67
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: its own segment because now there's stuff started to come

68
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: out about her that video clips, other accounts that she's

69
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: just her short, temper, rotten human being. But it really

70
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: is an insight into a couple things about these politicians,

71
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: because it's not like she's a Democrat. But there was

72
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: a big exo was eight years ago about and I

73
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: think it was Politico on how horrendous it is to

74
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: work for Todd Rokeita. I think when he was still

75
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: a congressman. They did this and it was just devastating

76
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: on what a just rotten person he is and how

77
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: he treats his staff and et cetera. You can go

78
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: back and find out again. I think it was Politico.

79
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: But these politicians, that was a real insight into their

80
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: mindset one they think. And this is why we rarely

81
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: do guests on this program because we do very well

82
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: and we prove we don't need you. These politicians in

83
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: their minds, they believe they're needed in order for media

84
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: or television or radio programs to succeed. Well, how could

85
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: you succeed without the politicians. Most politicians are really boring

86
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: and people turn the channel when they're on unless there's

87
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: some you know, pressing issue like Braun was on yesterday

88
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: with the Hammer and Nigel a whole bunch of pressing issues.

89
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: He wasn't aware of many of them, but they would

90
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: should have been, right and that was the takeaway.

91
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as Hammer said, Hey, I want to get

92
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: him on record responding to this.

93
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: But a lot of times these politicians think, well, I'm

94
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: a senator, I'm a representative, I'm the governor. You need

95
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: to know they're really boring. That was her approach, right, like,

96
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: who are you to ask me questions? Who are you

97
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: to try to make me take a position on something

98
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: I don't want to take a position on. She didn't

99
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: say it verbatim, but she was essentially saying, I'm done here,

100
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: And the insinuation was what are you going to do

101
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: without me?

102
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: Right?

103
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: Like you need me more than I need you. No,

104
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: it actually goes the other way around. And she claimed

105
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: that she had never had to do that before, implying

106
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: that she's never had to answer tough questions. And her

107
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: campaign went on to say that, you know, the interview

108
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: went on and lasted an extra twenty minutes after that.

109
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: The other part of this, which is fascinating is, and

110
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: you'll see this with politicians, they do not want to

111
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: be held to account on things that they can't bs

112
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: their way through. And in that case, she he looks

113
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: at it as well, if I admit something positive about

114
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: a Trump voter. My base is so extreme they might

115
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: use that against me the base of the Democrat Party

116
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: if she were to say, because the obvious answer to

117
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: that would be, look, I'm going to try to win

118
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: every vote i can. I'm going to run on a

119
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: list of priorities, and I'm going to run on a

120
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: list of principles, and I look forward to selling that

121
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: to the people of this state and how my administration

122
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: will make their livest I mean, I'm just winging this right.

123
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: You can't response to even better. And I'm gonna make

124
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: their lives better. And I hope that I can win

125
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: every single person, regardless of whether they voted for Donald

126
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: Trump or not. But in her mind, first of all,

127
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: she is a radical leftist, so she's telling you how

128
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: she views those people. But she also knows that her base,

129
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: the base of voters in a primary in California is

130
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: so left. In most cases, now they do that, they

131
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: do that what I think they call it a jungle

132
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: primary in California, where it's not like Republicans have a

133
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: primary and Democrats have primary. Everybody runs and then the

134
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: top two people then run against each other in the fall. Now,

135
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: oftentimes it does end up being a Republican or versus Democrat.

136
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: But you could theoretically have two Democrats, or a Democrat

137
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: and an independent or whatever. But she knows the majority

138
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: of people voting are going to be so left that

139
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: she can't answer that question in a way that she

140
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: can spin it. So she's just gonna like indict the

141
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: reporter who's.

142
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: Asking her, right, And if she can't answer these basic

143
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: questions from a reporter being on the opposite political side

144
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: of the president, I mean, how how is she expected

145
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: to stand up for what she wants when she goes

146
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: to DC or you know, has to deal with larger issues.

147
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: Well, you just hit the nail on the head. And

148
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: that's the third part of this thing that I wanted

149
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: to talk about, which is that they show you how

150
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: weak they actually are. Why did Braun stop talking to me?

151
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: You just talk to Braun and his people all the

152
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: time during property tach during the legislative session, because they

153
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: know it's done right, they exposed themselves. Instead of owning

154
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: it and saying, hey Rob, we failed, Hey Rob, we

155
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: let you down, Hey Rob, we failed your audience right,

156
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: and figure out how we can work together, they just

157
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: cut it off. Now they have those meetings. Right, they're

158
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: still having these meetings that the governor's managed with a

159
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: lot of the same people they were talking to before.

160
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: But we don't get invited anymore. Why because they can't

161
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: manipulate us, they can't use us. They know we see

162
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: through it, they know we don't need them, that we

163
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: don't view it as some sort of Oh, I'm so

164
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: lucky I got invited to the place that I have

165
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: to pay for. And so she showed so much in

166
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: this interview, not just of who she is, but you

167
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: can extraplate this out to so many of these politicians

168
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: and how they view any sense of accountability and how

169
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: they view you as a taxpayer.

170
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: She's running to replace Gavin Newsom and she was the

171
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: front runner with a seven point lead. I wonder what

172
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: it is now this will affect her.

173
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: Well, that's what's interesting is she got like so often

174
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: these people will behave just like total imbeciles, and then

175
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: they'll spin it as I was fighting for so and

176
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: so right, like a great example of this, we'll mention

177
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: him again, Todd Roketa. He goes on Fox News and

178
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: behaves totally inappropriate for the Attorney general, which is why

179
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: he's got all these issues in front of the Disciplinary Commission,

180
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: not because he had a First Amendment or an opinion

181
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: or whatever. There are rules and regulations as an attorney

182
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: and he has a very high bars attorney general. He

183
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: did not adhere to that right. That's why he signed

184
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: that agreement, which then he went back on, and that's

185
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: why he's back in front of the commission again. But

186
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: the point is he tries to spin this as, Oh,

187
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: they're coming after my First Amendment rights. They're coming after

188
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: me because I'm pro life. They're coming No, moron, they're

189
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: coming after you because there are rules of conduct for

190
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: your profession and you did not adhere to those rules

191
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: of your profession. But I don't know how she's going

192
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: to spin that, because that Porter wasn't grilling her on

193
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: any hot button topic that she can say.

194
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: Katie Porter just didn't like the follow up exactly.

195
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: She just did like it's it's an unhinged, entitled, elitist,

196
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: rotten human being who exposed exactly what she is
