WEBVTT - Election Night In California Hour 2 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.560 And we continue at eight point five in the evening 0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:06.720 here in the state of California. And as Frank just said, 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:11.879 the polls are officially closed, but just because the polls 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.720 are closed doesn't mean the results are in not. 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:20.080 Even closed now at least La County went up front 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.600 and said, you're not getting anything till at least eight thirty. 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:28.280 But I'm looking at updates from San Francisco and Alameda County. 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.280 Nothing yet and have even got the Secretary of State's 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.479 office website ready to go, and zero points zero percent 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.600 of results have been reported so far. 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.080 Now, it should be noted that the results are produced 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.720 by the various counties. The county registrars are the ones 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.720 that tally up the votes and then send them to 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.479 the Secretary of State. So some counties will report earlier 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.400 than others, so we might have some results to bring you. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.760 This is what's fun on the interactive map on CNN's 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.400 web site. Because everyone's at zero percent, Katie Porter is 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.280 still in the running. There you go, it's a tie 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:15.280 for Katie. Get out of my up and shut all right, Well, 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.119 we wait for the results to come in. 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.319 Let's go ahead and check in with our pal Daniel Guss, 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.720 who is the editor of The Gus Report. You can 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.760 get him online at Daniel Gus dot substack dot com 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.800 and follow him on Exit the Gus Report. Daniel Guss, Welcome, 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:32.479 Sean and Randy. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.840 Thank you for having me and I have a big 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.959 grin on my face tonight. I feel the energy and 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.000 I hope you do too well. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.080 Speaking of energy, there is no one that's generated more 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.880 energy in this election than Spencer Pratt, former reality show 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.480 star candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, a man who 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.640 really has a Mister Smith goes to Washington style story 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.920 where his home was burned down due to the fa 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.360 of the city and the state and the county. And 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.360 the more he dug into the why, the angrier he got, 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.200 and he decided to turn that anger into activism, which 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.120 resulted in him putting his name on the ballot and 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.200 running from mayor right. 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:21.240 And he is literally an everyman. But the special sauces, 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.760 they may call it in Katie Porter's mashed potato mix, 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.800 the special sauce is that he is a guy who 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.760 has lived, you know, for the past twenty years in 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.840 the spotlight, and he has shown himself to not only 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:40.480 be poised under national coast to coast scrutiny with the 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.000 major news outlets in New York and LA and all 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.440 the everywhere outside of LA and within God, we have 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.160 a terrible news media contingent in LA. And somehow his 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:58.200 background in television and social media made him almost the 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:02.239 perfect storm of a candidate to handle the intense scrutiny. 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.200 But most importantly, I think he is just a plain 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:12.919 speaking guy who really can convey what he has gone through, 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.400 which is really what we've all gone through. But he 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.000 is on a catastrophic level. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.320 And he seems to really have gotten under the skin 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.079 of Karen Bass, who thought she was going to breeze 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.600 to reelection and it's going to be a little bit 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.160 tougher than she anticipated. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.640 Oh I think it's going to be much tougher. We're 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:37.080 seeing her continue to gaslight all of Los Angeles from 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.600 the moment he got in until this afternoon, where she 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:46.800 doesn't know how to respond to somebody who actually speaks 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.680 plain language to regular people, but who can handle the 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.400 intense media scrutiny. And I will tell you I've been 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.760 very impressed with him because he has had a logical, 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:05.280 normal and balanced response to all of the insane questions 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.720 that our media contingent and I'm talking about you Los 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:12.240 Angeles Times, who Yeah, let's not forget the LA Times 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.320 said it was a mistake. The owner said it was 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:21.520 a mistake to endorse Karen Bass. And so Spencer Pratt 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:27.000 has a way of speaking normal life experiences to regular 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.359 people and it's resonating. Luckily for us, we actually have 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.080 a chance, normal people have a chance this election. For 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.479 the first time in a quarter century or more. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.039 Spencer had a fine showing at the debate that he 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:46.280 participated in with Karen Bass and Socialist councilwoman Nitia Rahman, 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:51.360 and there were scheduled debates after that first debate between 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.760 the three of them, and the mayor pulled out of 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.799 those subsequent debates. If he ends up making the November 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.279 ballot with Karen Bass, would assume she's going to be 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.360 forced to debate him yet again, and that puts her 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.480 in a situation that she doesn't want to be in. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.400 Yeah, I actually think it's it's even worse than that. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.240 For Karen Bass is in the time of his life. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.000 He is like forty one or forty two. He is 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:23.560 a full thirty years younger. Than Karen Bass. He has 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:28.400 the wind in his sails, and Karen Bass still has 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.160 a day job where she's got to be mayor. Yeah, 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.960 she's got the soapbox, but her soapbox is stuffed with 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:42.480 one controversy after another, And so Spencer Pratt is somebody 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.599 who has nothing but time and energy. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.360 Nythia Rahman, as I mentioned, is the other candidate, other 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.080 main candidate in the race. She's a member of the 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.080 city Council. She's a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.360 And one thing that struck me is awe involving her 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:05.120 in her campaign is she seemed to have gotten tripped 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.080 up every time someone asked her why are you running? 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.400 Because prior to becoming a candidate, she endorsed Karen Bass 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:16.760 for reelection. She endorsed her after the fires. She endorsed 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.679 her after it was clear that her project inside Safe 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.320 Program that was meant to reduce homelessness wasn't producing the 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.840 results that she had promised. And she seems to not 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.320 have a very good answer as to the why. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.279 Well, I can tell you. I'm going to tell you 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.960 right now, John and Randy today at La City Council. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.760 Nithia was not you know she was not out doing 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.359 the you know, the last minute rushed in campaigning. She 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.200 was at city council. She was slumped over like an 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.040 impetuous kid who looked like she knew it was over. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.479 And I think she knew it was over at least 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.880 as far back as that debate when she couldn't handle 0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:01.279 basic questions and that one history moment in mind, and 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.520 you guys, you guys are historians on local politics, that 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.200 one moment where she struggled to give an answer, and 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.640 the while she was doing that, the camera cut over 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.040 to Spencer Pratt and he was doing this this this 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.240 look as if to say, hey, she has no answer 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.440 to this question. And I think it's been downhill since 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.440 it's been it's been, it's been down it's been downhill 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.760 since then. And then of course she wants to ban 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.800 barbecues in a city with African Americans, in a city 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:32.800 with Korean Americans, in a city with the Mexicans and Suburbonites. Everybody, 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:37.080 barbecue's here, and this nit wit, Nithiya Rahman wants to 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.840 ban barbecues ahead of Memorial Day weekend. No less, so 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.240 she nine only doesn't have the answer to why she 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.040 has no handle on day to day life her. The 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.960 one thing that that that that keeps us together is 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.920 a backyard barbecue. Even vegans and vegetarians, they'll grill their veggies, 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.760 and Nathia Raman wants to ban it. So yeah, it's 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.160 it's it's worse than Itia. And she knows she's doa 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.360 and she's known it for a while. 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.400 To my eye, and maybe you disagree, I don't know. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.400 But the reason that I believe she got in this 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.160 race is she saw an opportunity. She saw what happened 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.920 in New York City with Mom Donnie. She saw what 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.400 happened in Seattle, where you had a socialist candidate beat 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.320 a Democratic incumbent. She saw what happened to Lori Lightfoot 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.440 in Chicago, where a socialist candidate was able to defeat her. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.640 And she thought, if it could happen in Seattle and 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.000 New York in Chicago, it can happen here. I might 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.280 as well be the mayor right. 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.280 And you could see how disloyal she is. So you know, 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.600 if you're going to endorse Karen Bath, which was ill 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.360 advised from the get go, and then just under the 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.800 wire she decides to run, it shows you she has loyalty, 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.400 not even to her own beliefs, but she's not even 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.360 loyal to her own words. And she saw an opportunity 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.160 as she didn't read the te leaves as to what's 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.880 happening in New York and God, they went like you said, 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:09.880 in Chicago, they went from LORI lightfoot to Johnson, I mean, 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:11.679 And so I guess she thought that was going to 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.439 happen here. But the one thing New York and Chicago 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.160 didn't have was a major disaster and one of the 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:23.120 most beautiful parts of LA in the country, with thousands 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:29.559 of homes destroyed, tense maybe hundreds, you know, a billions 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.440 and billions of dollars. What she didn't calculate is the 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.840 severity of the visual and the devastation of the Palisades fire. 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.800 Now going back to the topic of the DSA the 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.520 Socialist candidates, there are a number of members of the 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.280 La City Council who count themselves as members of the 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.040 DSA who are up for election. We could see the 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.560 DSA increase their ranks on the council, or we could 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.840 see them lose some members. What do you see happening? 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.640 Oh God, I've been through this for a few decades 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.120 with you, John, you know, you always think, doesn't the 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:11.400 public in this district realize how much worse it's been 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.520 with whoever they choose. The further left they go, the 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:19.440 worse it gets. So, you know, I'm watching the Unices thing, 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.640 and I'm watching the Hugo thing, and and I'm like, 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.960 it's so so just you know, there's fifteen council districts 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:31.880 and the odd numbered council districts one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.520 and fifteen. They're all up for election now, and and 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.280 so I don't know what's appealing to people who just 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:45.319 elected Hugo Soto Martinez, who's the furthest left of them all. 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.679 I have no idea in council District one what appeals 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.720 to the people who put in Unices Hamburger, Hernandez just 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:59.880 a few years ago. And so the interesting story going on, though, 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:06.199 is in whether Klanch who's a former LAPD commissioner, will 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.120 be able to which district is that is? That? Is 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.000 that against Hugo, against Unices. I think it's against unities 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:18.880 or Josh. I don't know. Is there a legitimate replacement 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.880 for the dsayers? And if so, is it further to 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.520 the left or to the right, so it's very unpredictable. 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.520 The DSA elections have not gotten much attention or much 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:35.720 oxygen because the mayoral race and the governor race have 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:40.319 really sucked all the oxygen out of the room. So unfortunately, 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.320 if I had to put money on it, I would 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:48.079 be surprised if any of the Dsayers lose their office, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.719 because once you're in, it's very tough to lose that incumbency. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.160 We should hope that Tracy Park on the West Side 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.800 survives against the various dsays, and I would like to 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.720 think that people who we're close to the devastation in 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:07.439 the Palisades would know that Tracy Park is doing everything 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:12.640 within her power to restore normalcy on the West Side. 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:14.760 So the answer is I don't know. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.000 All right.

Steve Hilton taking 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:19.560 the early lead. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.920 All right, Randy, you're keeping an eye on the City 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.640 of Los Angeles, the mayor's race and the ballot initiatives. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:27.959 Do we have any results there? 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.360 I got nothing until at least eight thirty. But here's 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.360 what I do have, which is interesting because while La 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.280 once again does not have their crap together. You know 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.520 what county does. Orange County already has twenty one percent 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.000 of their ballots counted. And here's some interesting results just 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.360 from what Orange County is representing so far. Hilton did 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.320 big over Bianco in Orange County. Hilton with thirty four, 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.400 Bessera with twenty three, then a big drop to Styre Bianco. 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:01.400 Katie Porter from Orange County represented Orge County has five 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.400 percent of the vote there. Now, when you scroll down 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.920 to those congressional races, the one that we heard a 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:14.440 lot about was the Republican on Republican redistricting fight on 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.960 the fortieth dist Or between Calvert and Young Kim. It 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.560 is almost at a statistical tie. 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.680 And that's where the polls were in that race, So 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:28.200 the polls were highly accurate in that particular congressional district. 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.840 Now we're still waiting for results to come in for 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.320 San Francisco County, for Alameda County. Here's an interesting one. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.080 Santa Clara County has put in some results and Matt Mahan, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.560 the mayor of San Jose, the biggest city in Santa 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.520 Clara County and the third biggest city in the in 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.680 the state, of California has only ten percent of the 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.360 vote there, and it's like less than five percent everywhere else. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.840 Not a good sign for mister Mayheon. Oh poor Matt 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.000 phil TERESI. You're keeping an eye on many these contested 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:05.080 congressional races here in California. Are we seeing any results 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:06.120 in those contests? 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:10.160 Yeah, again, very preliminary stuff. But in District five, Tom 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:14.520 McClintock holding on very comfortably. If these results hold, he 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.520 can go home and party tonight. Over in District six, 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.760 this is the Kevin Kylie fight. Kylie currently in the 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.440 lead with not quite twenty five percent of the vote, 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:29.160 but Richard Pan right on his heels. Nothing yet coming 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.080 off of District eleven. I don't know if we're going 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.440 to find out about Wiener until tomorrow. But over in 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.800 District thirteen, the Adam Gray fight. Adam Gray looks like 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.560 he's going to hang onto that. For Democrats. D twenty 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.960 Vince Fong comfortably in the lead. Twenty one Jim Costa 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:49.400 hanging on but barely. Kyle Kirkland out of Fresno, a 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.840 card room owner, local businessman, right on Costa's heels right now. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.720 And the big one, the Valideo fight versus Jazmine Baines 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.680 and Randy Vegas. David Valadeo almost forty eight percent with 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.760 ten percent in. Randy Viegas actually beaten the pants off 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:10.320 of Democrat competitor jazz Meet Baines thirty four percent to 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.080 just a hair over eighteen percent. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.560 All right, so there you go. Early numbers starting to 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:17.960 roll in hery. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:18.840 Got some La County. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.520 We're early, everybody, How about that? What'll we see? 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:23.160 Uh? 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.720 Here we go for measure er the sales text increase. 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.360 It currently is losing in the first district to Board 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.440 a Supervisors replacing Hildeeslease. It looked like it's gonna be 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.560 Mariana around Atlanta Drazzo. In the third district, Lindsay Horvat 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.680 is running away with it. In the Sheriff's race, Robert 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.480 Luna is way ahead but not above fifty percent. In 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.200 second place for that one is Alex Viannaweva. And it 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.320 looks like we may even have some results in the 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:57.160 City of Los Angeles. Nope, not yet. 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.840 Don't get your hopes up wait here it is. They'll 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.000 let you down every time. 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.760 All right, I've got some City of Los Angeles results 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.119 measure CB. The we going to tax the illegal cannabis businesses, 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:16.080 winning by seventy two percent, measure TC, the jacking up 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.960 of the hotel taxes winning by fifty seven percent measure 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:25.760 TT changing the hotel taxes to include spa treatments currently losing. 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.040 When it comes to the City Attorney's race, Marissa Roy 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.880 is over John McKinney. When it comes to the controllers race, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.960 Kenneth Mahea is over Zach Sokolov. When it comes to 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.040 the Mayor's race, our first batch of votes are in 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:45.359 Bass at thirty eight, Pratt at twenty seven, Nfia at twenty. Well, 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.680 those are good looking numbers for Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.960 In the city council races, Unsices is currently winning handily 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.960 with fifty two percent of the vote. That means she 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.120 wouldn't go to a runoff. It's a pretty close race 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.359 in people that you've never heard of. In District three, 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.760 Kitty Orslovsky's gonna win. Monic Rodriguez was running completely unopposed. 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.760 In the ninth district, it looks like Jose Lugarte is 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.560 going to win, and Tracy Park looks like she is 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:15.119 safely going to reelection in her race Unfortunately, Hugo Soto 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.800 Martinez looked like he's safely moved into reelection in his race. 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.720 Which is odd that it's such a good day for 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:26.119 incumbent so far, because we know that the public is restless. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:31.719 That is why Karen Bass currently is only with thirty 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.080 eight percent of the vote. And this is a very 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.840 early tally. We should have another update later tonight, but 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:41.120 at this point, if this holds, runoff time for Spencer Pratt. 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.800 All right, we'll have more on this California primary night 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.120 coming up in moments. Don't you go anywhere, and we 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:51.719 continue on this election night here in the state of California. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.600 It's John Phillips with Randy Wang, Frank Mootech, Phil Teresi, 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.600 and results are coming in. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.120 And it looks like the place that has the results 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.840 coming in the quickest is actually Decision Desk HQ, where 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.080 it looks like mister Frank Motech, we've got quite a 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.479 result coming in for the race for governor. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:12.080 Breaking news here. 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.960 Yeah, it looks like Hobvio Bisera now in the early 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.320 lead here in the governor's race with about forty percent. 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.280 So the votes tallyed a statewide so far as Bisera 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:23.880 in the lead with the eight hundred and forty four 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.480 thousand votes or at twenty six percent. Steve Hilton just 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.240 behind Bisara now with seven hundred and ninety nine thousand 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:35.240 votes at twenty five percent. Tom Stier in at eleven percent, 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.280 make that twenty percent now six hundred and forty three 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:42.560 thousand votes accounted for stire Chad Bianco right now in 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.280 the fourth place in the governor's race in the early 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:47.600 going here coming in at eleven percent of the vote 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.400 at three hundred and fifty four thousand votes. Katie Porter, 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.400 by the way, behind the Bianco now at one hundred 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.640 and seventy thousand votes, coming in at five percent. That's 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.520 the very latest tally we're getting here with just about 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.000 forty p said of the votes counted statewide. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:03.919 How would you feel right now if you were at 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:08.240 Katie parties, Katie Porter's watch party. Oh well, if you're 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:12.439 a guy, we're a cup.

Twelve thousand, Betty, he 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.560 has eighteen thousand, and she dropped out a month ago, 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.400 so he got a vote for every person that he's 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:51.600 friends with on Snapchat, Barack Obama. Shaw has gotten sixty 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:52.639 five hundred votes. 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.399 Well, good night for him. He's turned out of the 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.560 White House, so why not run for office here? 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.840 Now it looks like we're finally getting some results in 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:09.080 for San Francisco, and of course they have it for 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.240 the House district race. That's not the Nancy Pelosi race, 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:17.119 so screw that. In Alameda County, Measure E is on 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.600 a no right now, which means the voters may have 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:25.119 finally had enough of all these parcel tech increases in Oakland. 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.560 Well, let's hope that holds.

Coundidate statewide that Tom syre In at twenty percent, 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.679 Chad Bianco at eleven percent. We're looking now at some 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:26.040 new numbers for the California lieutenant governor primary results. We 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.440 see a Fiona ma in the lead here at twenty 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.000 one percent, behind Republican Gloria Romero at eighteen and a 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:34.800 half in Josh Friday at fourteen percent. 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:38.560 Now, Randy Wayang, you're keeping an eye on the local 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.760 races in Los Angeles and some of the ballot initiatives. 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:42.880 What are you seeing. 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:47.120 Measure er the jacking up of the sales taxes in 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:51.439 Los Angeles County currently looks like it may not pass, 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:54.520 so that is some good news. And here's a fun 0:22:54.560 --> 0:23:01.159 one the Alameda County District Attorney's office with the votes 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:06.320 that are in. The incumbent Ursula Jones Dixon has sixty 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:10.720 six percent of the vote. Pamela Price has twenty two 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:15.560 percent of the vote, which means once again, two thirds 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.679 of Alameda County has said no to Pamela Price and 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:22.159 they just called that race Pammy Price. Go back to 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:23.200 your podcast. 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.880 We're also seeing some changes in the betting markets as well. 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:30.240 In the governor's race. 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.239 Bessarah's at ninety eight percent of making it, Hilton's at 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.640 seventy four percent. Stier is at twenty two percent. 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:42.600 So Hilton was at seventy percent when we started tonight 0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:46.880 at seven and Styre was it what in the low forties. 0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.720 Yeah, he is now in the twenties. So it's looking 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.679 like it is settling up, but still there's only a 0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:55.600 small lead. There's still a lot of counties that haven't reported. 0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:59.679 San Francisco County hasn't reported anything yet. San Diego has 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.399 it really anything yet, So there's still quite a while 0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:05.360
