WEBVTT - Tom Steyer Rides The D 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.560 It's the John Phillip Show, Mister Randy weggs across the glass. John. 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:08.360 It is election day, which means all the candidates are 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:10.800 trying to do everything they can to get that last 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:14.360 bit of attention to maybe get somebody to decide to 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:16.680 put their name on the ballot and put it in 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:21.560 the box. Tom Steyer has spent two hundred and thirty 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.160 million dollars running for governor, and I'm about to make 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.960 a bold statement. The video he just put out is 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.920 going to get more attention than all of those ads combined, 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.800 because Tom Steyer had a big announcement this morning. 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.960 I'm Tom Steyer. I never about to ride the team. 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:45.320 WHOA it is Pride Month. 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.600 Wasn't he and West Hollywood last night at a Pride event? 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.160 I guess he learned a thing or two. 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.440 I'm Tom Steyer. I never about to ride the team. 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.520 Now, of course he's talking about the new D line 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.720 on La Metro, but he knew what he was doing. 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:13.280 Did Katie Porter put one of those ads out? Katie Porter, 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.720 as far as I know, has not put out any 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.200 ads about her riding the. 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.440 D You can smell it right here. 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:19.640 I know. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:27.360 Rosie O'Donnell. Hasn't I feel bad for Katie? All the 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.840 channels are putting out all their profiles on like the 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:30.840 top candidates. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.200 Nobody's talking to Katie today. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.720 Oh yeah, she is an afterthought at this point, our 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:44.080 poor girl. She's about to go into the annals of history. Whoa, whoa, whoa, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:48.240 whoa whoa, I said, annals like Shang Tau before her. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.280 It's going to be like a year from now and 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.360 we're gonna wonder what was this even about? 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.360 Why do you have to watch porn in the living room? 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.760 Where does Las Vegas have her right now? Because, like 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.559 chick Hern used to say, the late Great Chick Hern, 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.240 I don't know how they do it. They always call 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.600 it correctly. Well, let's look up on Calsh because that's 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:13.240 the big one. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:13.520 Here. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:21.839 The odds of advancing to the general election. Javier Barkeria 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:26.000 at ninety three percent, Steve Hilton at seventy five percent, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.000 Tom Steyer at thirty six percent, Chad Bianco at one 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:39.800 point eight percent, Katie Porter at point three percent. How 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.840 about Tony Thurman? Is he a negative number? Tony Thurman 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.920 is at less than one percent. Somebody, by the way, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:55.920 somebody still has money on Kamala winning this thing, and 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.440 if you want to take up those odds, you can 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:04.000 make a big payday. So they're saying that Besara is 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.680 essentially in. He's north of ninety percent if we take 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.360 all the polling that we've seen over the last month. Seriously, 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.360 Besarah somehow got like all of the Swalwell support and then. 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:17.280 Some scrub it. 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.799 I'll tell you, I don't know how or why that 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:28.079 party didn't do a little introspection after Swalwell blew up, 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:34.679 maybe questioning the way they evaluate candidates because they don't 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.360 want to get stuck with a turkey. But no, they 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.320 just jumped right from Swalwell to Besara and they said 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.040 we're all in. By the way, this is a profile piece. 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.920 This is not a gotcha piece, right. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.240 And Vegas has Steve Hilton as a heavy favorite to 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.560 make the November ballot. Steve Hilton is a seventy five 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.320 percent favorite. I mean, but every single this is just 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.920 the gambling odds. The poles are all within the margin 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:03.839 of error, so anything could happen. It could be Bessarah 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.320 and Styre. It could be Hilton in Styre, could be 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.040 Hilton in Bessarah Bianco's not getting in. 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.560 There at one percent on the betting odds. 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.719 Now, could we see a late surge in a specific 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:21.200 demographic that decides to turn out today because of Tom Steyer. 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.960 I'm Tom Steyer, I never about to ride the team. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.800 Remains to be seen. Okay. 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.760 I don't know if that's going to motivate anyone to 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:35.040 do anything other than turn their television off, although that 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.600 would be taken one for the team if his consultants 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.839 said that's what'll put him over the finish line. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:40.839 Or only one more. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.400 Do you think Tom Steyer wears his sneaks when he 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.279 rides the d he might I'm. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.360 Tom Steyer, I never about to ride the team. 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:58.920 Holy hell, with all the money that he's paying those consultants, 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:03.600 they let him say there. But at this point, those 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.279 consultants have put their grandkids through college. He could do 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.599 whatever he wants. How much do you think they hate him? 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.839 Because they love the fact that they're making money off 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.760 of this guy, and they're making a lot of it, 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:22.119 and consultants have to work to eat. However, billionaires don't 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.240 like to be told that they're wrong, So I'm sure 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.160 every time you have a conversation with this guy, it's 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.760 got to feel like a gauntlet of hell. Yes, but 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.120 you're getting paid for it. And I'm sure because you 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.760 got to remember who sty Or hired. He hired a 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.640 lot of the Mom Donnie people, and so they might 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.880 feel that this is an a Robin Hood esque act 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.560 of all right, we're gonna fleece this guy for everything 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.120 he has. Well, they did a pretty good job at 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:56.920 that a big ass crisis. They got a bunch of money, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.200 and all he got was to ride the d and 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.679 tour the Tijuana River. 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.360 And you can literally see it, smell it, and feel it. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:12.240 Don't play those clips back to back. All right, So 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.400 today is election day. If you want to vote, you 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.839 have until eight o'clock. If you want to vote by mail, 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:21.039 get it postmarked today. And apparently, Randy, a lot of 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.040 people are waiting until the very last minute. There were 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.279 a lot of people that were like, this ballot is 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.280 ten pages long, and one page of it is sixty 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.040 one governor candidates. Who the hell am I supposed to 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:38.400 vote for? For the latest on the election, here is kpix. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.360 You began with some last minute twists ahead of tomorrow's 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.919 California primary so far, just sixteen percent of Californians have 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.800 turned in their ballots and a final poll. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.240 And that was the numbers as of last night. As 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.560 of today, nineteen percent. Here's what I don't understand. I 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.920 get it that most people aren't as a as I 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:05.159 am about administrative tasks. However, I don't let anything sit 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.800 in my house for more than a day. If I 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.120 get a bill, I pay it that day before I 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.400 go to bed, because I don't want to lose it 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.000 and then have to pay a late fee. If I 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.160 get a ballot in the mail, I fill it out 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.800 immediately and send it in because I don't want to 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:25.000 lose the ballot. Recently, I got a letter from Scotty 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.640 Nell Hughes, our friend who does the show every so often. 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.680 Her daughter graduated from high school, so you're supposed to 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.200 send him a card with some money in it. I 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.160 put it off to the side. Then my cleaning lady 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.520 came and I couldn't find it, so I almost had 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:41.920 an excuse to be cheap. 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.600 And the hotly contested governor's race is showing a tight 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.440 battle for the second spot. So the Emerson College poll 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.840 released Saturday shows Democrat and former California Attorney General Javier 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:00.480 Bessera in the lead with twenty eight percent. Democrat Taughtier 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.040 has just narrowly moved ahead of Republican Steve Hilton by 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.080 just one percent. 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.720 That's in that poll, but there have been a lot 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.640 of polls that are showing all three of them in 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.360 different positions, So who knows what will happen to that. 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.040 If you go by the betting markets, it's Besarah Hilton, 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:17.520 but anything could happen. 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.000 What position was Styre in when he was writing the D. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.120 I'm Tom Steyer, I'm about to ride the D. 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.760 And now those top two Democrats are turning up their 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.920 attacks on each other, with one even crying foul play. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.040 Are Max Darrow joining us live now from San Jose 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.480 with more on this drama between the front runners as 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.360 those last minute ballots are coming in. Hey they're Max. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.840 Hey, Juliette. It was a busy day here at the 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.560 Santa Clara County Registrar of Voter's office as people dropped 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.600 off their ballots or came here to vote. But there 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.400 are a lot of people that still have not made 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.880 up their minds as to who they will be backing 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.440 here in the primary election. 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.559 There's going to be people today that are going to 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:05.280 flip a coin. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.760 I know a lot of people, particularly Democrats, who have 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:16.400 no clue what they're going to do. Still, if you 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.839 decide between Bessara and Hilton, excuse me, you decide between 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.040 Bessara and Styr by flipping a coin whose heads and 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:25.800 whose tails? 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.600 I'm Tom Steyer. I'm about to ride the team. 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.560 I guess we have our answer, and that. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.840 Likely will be a determining factor and how tomorrow shakes 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.840 out among all of the people casting their ballots. This 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.480 trip to the Santa Clara County registrar a voter's office 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.920 the day before the primary was actually late for so 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:49.800 to Rea restart. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.600 This is the latest I've ever ever voted because there 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.960 was a lot on the I had six five six pages. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.400 Enough to everyone assumed that someone else was going to 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.040 get voted off the island. They wanted to make sure 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.440 that they didn't waste their vote. Well, just wait until 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.800 November when we have all the propositions. It's going to 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.160 look like a menu at the cheesecake factory. You know 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.440 who I blame for this. Michael Trujillo via Gosu's buddy 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.520 who said that there was dirt on everybody coming out 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:20.960 in May, and you know what, he was pretty much correct, 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.280 certainly was Swallwell, boy, did we learn a lot? Yes 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.680 we did. But there was all this talk about another 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.040 Katie Porter video coming out. Ye out of my shop 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.400 didn't happen. Well, did you need to put the video out? 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.920 She imploded, from the old one, Poor Katie, I'm pulling 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.000 in to the bakery. You know what you deserve it 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.400 you get yourself a buttery croissant. It's going to be 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.160 a tough day. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.400 Enough to include these sixty one candidates for governor. 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.240 I can't wait to see when the election is certified 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.000 how many people in the state of California voted for 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.360 the guy running for governor that changed his aim to 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.040 Barack Obama for one election where he's going to get 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:05.160 less than one percent. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:07.240 We've had to really do some. 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:12.760 Many votes of Swallow getting probably more than Barack Obama. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.440 We've had to really do some research to get to 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:16.319 the right person. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.559 Only two will advance to the general election in November. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.120 And I don't know what it looked like in Santa 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.640 Clara County, but in La County you had a whole 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.360 page that was governor candidates, and you had three whole 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:27.640 pages of judges. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.280 I didn't have any of why. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.960 Actually I had one judicial race in Riverside County, but 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:33.560 that was it. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.040 There's a lot in La County. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.880 Numerous polls show Democrat Javier Besserra is the front runner, 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.280 Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Tom Steyer our neck and 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.319 neck behind him, likely duking it out for the number 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.040 two spot. And the attacks are heating up in the 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:53.040 home stretch, not between the Dems and Republicans, but between 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.880 Steier and the Sarah political experts Carolina. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:00.160 If it actually is, and it's not likely, it's very 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.320 likely that it's either styr and Besarah versus Hilton going 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.079 into the general. But if it was a D on 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.640 D race, that race is going to get ugly and 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.560 even more expensive well, and Styre is going to spend 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.920 whatever it takes to beat him, and Bessarah is backed 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.800 by the Democratic establishment, so they would have to pony 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.240 up the money. I don't think the Democratic Party wants 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.360 a Stier versus Bessera race. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:26.200 No, they don't. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.800 They want to do exactly what happened when Adam Schiff 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.400 elevated Steve Garvey. 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:32.800 I call it the shift. 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.400 Gift Shift got number one, Garvey got number two. Katie 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.959 was out of the money and the campaign was over 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.800 in June. And Garvey didn't even really campaign in the fall. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.520 Didn't they send him to Israel for a couple of weeks. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.040 He was pretty checked out unless there was an event 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.520 at Dodger Stadium political experts. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.240 Caroline held me. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:54.160 So Stier is. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.240 Going after Bessera because he knows he needs to get 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.160 Democratic and independent votes in order to make it into 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.560 the number two slodes tomorrow. So less so about going 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:02.280 against Steve. 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.280 Hilton Steyer, who's used his personal fortune to launch a 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.760 wave of negative ads against Besserah is now facing legal 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.160 threats over this ad released over the weekend. 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:15.040 If Bessara is indicted, that would give our governor's office 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.080 to Donald Trump's favorite candidate. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:24.800 Any Actually, I don't even think that's true. I don't 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.640 think Democratic voters care if he gets indicted for money 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.240 laundering and tax evasion. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:32.120 That's nothing. 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.920 I think they would have voted for Swallwell had that 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.880 story broke after the primary and he won the primary. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.800 I sure would like to think that's not true. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.600 I guarantee you he either would have found religion and 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.440 said that he's a changed man, or he would have 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.120 called all of the accusers lying whores in it. 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.960 The Stier campaign suggests Bessarah could face an indictment in 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.320 relation to a corruption case involving his former chiefs staff 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:01.480 and campaign manager. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.400 Bessara's campaign sent, I mean a possible indictment is the 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:06.920 reason that Bonta didn't run. 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:08.280 That is true. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.480 Besara's campaign sent a cease and assist letter to Stier's 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.720 campaign and threatened a lawsuit if they don't pull the ad. 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.720 Let's be clear, it's a false allegation. There is no 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.920 evidence that be Sarah's about to be charged. In fact, 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.160 there's a better evidence that Sarah was a victim in 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:23.680 all of this. 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.240 It's not a good look that the answer is, well, no, 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:28.280 he wasn't in on it. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:29.440 He's just that dumb. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.160 If he is that dumb, where he had no clue 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.600 that they were stealing the same amount of money each 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.920 and every month out of an account that belonged to him, 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.600 What do you think he's going to do with edd 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.600 What do you think he's going to do with State funds. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:45.960 What do you think he's going to do with the 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.840 bullet train? Oh, I know exactly what he's going to do, 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.680 scrub it. What do you think Tom Steyer would do? 0:14:55.280 --> 0:15:00.000 I'm Tom Steyer. I'm about to ride the team. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.800 And I are putting this ad out and then Sarah 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.600 having to respond to it and then all of us 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.520 talking about it means that we are still thinking about 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.240 this scandal in relation to Bessarah. So this it's a 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.520 smart campaign move on the part of stire At, this 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.160 last ditch effort to try to shift the needle right 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:15.160 before election day. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.960 Steyer campaigned in Los Angeles. Today, his team is suggesting 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.720 a late surge of voters will pay off in his favor. 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.600 Bessarah thanked his supporters at a campaign event in Sacramento. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.360 We want to kick it up a year so we 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.160 can get those votes out in voting. 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.760 Okay, I am not ready for Bessarah. You have somebody 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:41.240 who is simultaneously incredibly low energy and dumb. It's a 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:46.160 bad combo. At least Gavin was somewhat entertaining to cover 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:48.880 Besarah's going to be tough. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.160 Reester made up her mind about who she's behind just 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.680 in time. She hopes others will do the same. 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:01.000 Do vote. It's very important. Every vote counts. 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.640 And since only twenty percent of people voted, your vote 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:07.240 counts way more. She's so dramatic, like a soap opera 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:08.440 actress from the eighties. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.840 So, assuming the polls ring true and it is Besarah 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.520 who comes out on top in this primary. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.760 Election, that's not what I heard. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.680 Political expert Caroline Heldman says, depending on whether it's a 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.320 Republican or a Democrat he will face off with in 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.600 the general election, that race will look very different if 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.240 it is Besarah versus Steve Hilton, the Republican. She thinks, 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.840 because California skews heavily blue, it would be a pretty 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.040 straightforward path for Besarah to get to Sacramento. 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.040 If so, there you go. 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.760 That is the latest on the state of the governor's 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.840 race as where pretty much it's become a with sixty 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.560 one candidates, but everyone's pretty much decided as a three 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:57.880 way race between Bessarah, between Steve Hilton and this. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.000 Guy, I'm Tom Steyer to write the team. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.160 If he loses the election. What do you think Tom 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:17.160 Steyer is going to do to blow off some steam 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:21.920 I think we know. Eight hundred two two two five 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.640 two two two is telephone number one eight hundred two 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.520 two two five two two two.

So during the break I opened up 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.800 my phone and looked at X to see what Tom 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:24.240 Steyr was up to. He was posting pictures at Jim 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:28.159 Bar in West Hollywood with the drag Queen. I wonder 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:29.359 what he was doing there. 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.320 I'm Tom Steyr.

Uh huh. 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.440 I see all right. 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.760 So today is the day that voters in LA will 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.520 determine who is going to move on to the November 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:26.840 ballot and ultimately will be the next mayor of Los Angeles. 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:30.520 That is another three person race that could go any 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:35.719 way possible. You have the incumbent mayor, mother ghost, Karen Bass. 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:39.520 If you're feeling down, if you're feeling blue, let's get 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:40.840 help for you. 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:44.679 You have Spencer Pratt, who was on this show just 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:48.840 a couple of days ago, yesterday actually, and you have 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:57.600 LA City Councilwoman Nthea It's not so I and NBC 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:02.000 four did profiles on each of the candidates.
