WEBVTT - Spirit Airlines shuts down stranding passengers

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>And very happy Monday to you. At twelve oh six

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>in the West, it's the Jina Phillips Show, Mister Randy

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Weggs in Culver City.

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 2>John former Vice President Kamala Harris has just come out

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 2>with a whole bunch of endorsements in California's primary, where

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the ballots go out this week. She is endorsing Bob

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Banta for Attorney General.

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Bonta. She's endorsing Karen Bess for La Mayor. It's not

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a Namsey Pamsy thing, and she is not endorsing anybody

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>for governor. I love that she takes a pass on

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the one that people are paying attention to. She doesn't

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>want to touch that race with a ten football. No,

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't. Eight hundred two two two five two two

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>two East Telephone number one eight hundred two to two

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>five two two two. Well, I guess it's time to

0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>pour one out for Spirit Airlines. But be careful because

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>if you do, there's a fee for that. Spirit Airlines

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:11.919
<v Speaker 1>ceased all global operations late Friday night. They started canceling

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>every single flight on the schedule, and that meant that

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>if you were in the middle of a round trip,

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you got stranded. Okay, I want to begin this conversation

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 1>by first stated the obvious, which is if you lost

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>your job because of this, I feel sorry for you.

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Spirit Airlines is not going out of business because of

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the performance of the flight attendants, the pilots, the gate agents,

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the people in res whatever, the bag of handlers. This

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>they had nothing to do with. That airline is going

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>out of business for different reasons. That being said, I

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>for one, am a static. You're ecstatic about Spirit Airlines

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>going away one hundred percent because between Spirit Airlines and

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Frontier Airlines, all of the trash at the airport that

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>ends up on YouTube has a ticket on one of

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>those two airlines.

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Are you saying that the typical Spirit or Frontier passenger

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>are more likely to board a plane with flipflops and

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>no socks.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and this may sound like a classist argument, but

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. The only way that clientele should ever

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>step foot on an airline is if they get drafted

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>for a world war. That's it. There are some people

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that are just not meant for the friendly skies. For example,

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>anyone who has the F word on their T shirt.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>You have the F word on your T shirt. Guess what,

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>no flying for you. You're getting to need to take the

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 1>bus so you can be around all of the other

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>people with an F word on their T shirt. The

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>entire concept of that airline runs against common sense. The

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>airport is all about rules. Sometimes the rules don't make sense.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>For example, you get there and you have to take

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>your shoes off, you have to take a belt off,

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you have to take everything out of your pockets, you

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>have to take your laptop out, you have to take

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>a coat off, you have to put it through the

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>metal detector, and once you're through, they give you all

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the booze you could drink in a knife. Does it

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>make sense No, But those are the rules. Then you

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>have to follow the rules, which means you can't bring

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>your drugs with you to the airport because TSA will

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>have a problem with that, the dogs will sniff it out,

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the agents will discover it, and you go to jail.

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>That's how it works. So you take a population of

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>people who cannot follow the rules on the outside. When oh,

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, the cops say drop the gun, and

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>then you take them and put them in a situation

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>where they have a milliond one rules to follow. Many

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>of which don't make sense, which is why they all

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 1>end up on YouTube, because they're not big on following rules.

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>So that's how you get fistfights at the departure's gate.

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>That's how you get people escorted off the plane by

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>uniform police. That's how you get all of the chaos

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that you see going on at the airport. The problem is,

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>at many of these airports, you can't just have one

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>entire terminal for American Airlines or Alaska or United or

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Delta or Southwest or whatever. Sometimes you have to share.

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>So it's not like you could just take all of

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the trash and put them in one terminal and just

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>let that become lord of the flies and let them

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>do whatever it is that they're going to do to

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>one another, and the rest of us won't even know

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>about it until we watch YouTube. The problem is they

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>will take one of these budget airlines with all the trash,

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and they'll put them in the same terminal as Alaska

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>or as American or as one of the other airlines.

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>So that means the trash get to interact with the

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of us, and that makes the flying process miserable. Yes,

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>it's entertaining to watch them fight online, but if they

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>fight in front of you, that's a whole different situation.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>You're just trying to get to your meeting, You're just

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to get to your funeral, You're just trying to

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>get to your vacation, and you want to do that

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:03.679
<v Speaker 1>without ending up on YouTube. I know it sounds easy enough,

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>but not when you mix in the Spirit Airlines clientele,

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>it makes it very difficult to avoid YouTube. In fact,

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and whenever they have a flight that's delayed and there's

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of alcohol that's consumed at the airport, because

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.799
<v Speaker 1>let's face it, there's nothing to do at the airport.

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>So Spirit Airlines, passenger or not, what do we do

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 1>when we're there? We go to the bar. Well. You

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 1>take someone whose impulse control is not good to begin with,

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you load them up on bows and then

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you expect them to follow more rules on the plane.

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>You see, that's just a recipe for disaster. And that's

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>what we found out. I never flew Spirit Airlines. I

0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>could not bring myself to do that. Did you ever

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>fly them, Randy? I did not. The lowest class I

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>will go is Southwest? What about Frontier? Have you ever

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 1>flown that one? I have not had the opportunity to

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>fly Frontier. It's the same thing. So here's what I recommend,

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>just in case anyone who works at Frontier Airlines is listening.

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>If you don't change the way you do business, you're

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>going to end up like Spirit too. You're going to

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>go bankrupt, and the rest of us are going to

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.679
<v Speaker 1>celebrate because then the airports will go back to normal.

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Is this one of those uniquely American things? Because there

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>are low cost carriers in Europe like Ryanair. You don't

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 2>hear about these kinds of stories. Oh and those they'll

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 2>just tie you to the wing. I've been on a

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>European low fair carrier before.

0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I was on Vwelling. That's the Spanish carrier. And the

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>only reason I was on Vwelling is because I was

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.679
<v Speaker 1>leaving Greece because there was going to be a strike

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>at the airport and I was going to be stranded

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>there for god knows how long. And that was the

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>airline that had a ticket that was still for sale.

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>And let me tell you, I think on an American plane,

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>on an American Airlines plane, the same aircraft as the

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>one that Dwelling has, they put one hundred and fifty

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>seats on it. Here over there they had something like

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and ninety or two hundred seats on the

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>same aircraft. I am six'. Four my knees were so

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>far up into my. FACE i joined the mile high

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>club with. Myself it was, miserable beyond. Miserable and there

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>was a ton of turbulence. Too and let me tell

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you it may be on the other side of the,

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>ocean but when there's turbulence The spanish, airline everyone on

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that plane sounds like the ladies From. Rosita, OOH i,

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 1>know And Randy apparently a bunch of people got stranded

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 1>when the airline shut, down, which by the, way up

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>until the moment they shut, down they were sending all

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>these messages on social media that, said what are you talking,

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>About we're not shutting. Down then they shut, down which

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>means if people had an itinerary With spirit and they

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>were expecting to be able to fly, home they. Couldn't,

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>well my guess is those people were used to a

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of disappointment in their. Life for, more HERE'S nbcla.

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Now From Fort lauderdale To Los, angeles passengers who booked

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 3>With spirit are now having to pay more or ditch

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 3>their plans.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 4>Completely the budget airline officially shut down after.

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>PHISLING i think we're done with the concept of a budget.

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Airline you, know my one regret about this happening is

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 1>we couldn't make sure that they went bankrupt when all

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>of the people who Fly Spirit, airlines who live In

<v Speaker 2>Years they recently filed for bankruptcy again only a few months,

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 2>ago so it definitely was always a. Possibility then the war,

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 2>happens the price of jet fuel, doubled And spirit had

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.559
<v Speaker 2>the least cash on. Hand and by the, way THE ceo,

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.880

<v Speaker 1>trying to keep a secret from The Spirit airlines, passengers

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.120

<v Speaker 2>I don't Think Betty yee was a shakeup in the. Race,

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:21.440

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 10>names will still appear on the primary ballots due to

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 10>state law that doesn't allow for names to be removed

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 10>after a certain.

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 4>Date that's not uncommon for, voters potential voters to not

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:44.719
<v Speaker 4>be satisfied with the candidates they.

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 10>Have according to A Friday berkeley igs, pool that's.

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Right mean at one point the choice Was Gavin newsom

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Or John.

0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Cox, well think about. This it's a multiple choice. Exam

0:24:56.320 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not an essay. Question it's the multiple choice. Exam

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to pick, One so do it and get

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:04.879
<v Speaker 1>your ballot in the.

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Mail, well if you look at the, electorate especially in primary,

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 2>elections a lot of them are voting for none of

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the above by not.

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Voting, Well i'll bet. You and this is a Prediction

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 1>i'm going to, make AND i may be, wrong BUT

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:25.160
<v Speaker 1>i don't think THAT i. Am my prediction is that,

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>turnout particularly Among, democrats is going to be low because

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>they have no direction from their party as to how to. Vote,

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 1>typically what happens is there is a preferred candidate and

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:42.959
<v Speaker 1>everyone knows. It the party wants PERSON x and not person,

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Y so go out and vote that, way and they

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 1>communicate with you and they message with, you and they

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.640
<v Speaker 1>show up at your doorstep and they try to go

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to people in your social network to make sure you

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>fill out your ballot and turn it in because they

0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:00.640
<v Speaker 1>know they Want kamala Over, trump or they know they

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Want Adam schiff Over Katie, porter or they know whichever

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:06.640
<v Speaker 1>preferred candidate they have on the ballot that they want

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 1>to get over the finish. Line in this, election there

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 1>is no preferred candidate for The Democratic, party and so

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>there's not the level of communication that you would otherwise

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 1>get in a normal. Election and if you're A democratic, voter,

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:26.439
<v Speaker 1>who let's just, say you know you're A, democrat but

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you're not what we would call a political. Animal you

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 1>just do whatever the party tells you to. Do and

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 1>if the party's not telling you to do anything in,

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:40.400
<v Speaker 1>particular my guess is that many of those people just don't.

0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:45.400
<v Speaker 10>Vote according to A Friday berkeley igs pool that surveyed

0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 10>register At california, voters thirty eight percent of those who

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 10>said they're less likely to vote in the primary pointed

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 10>to a lack of information on the issues and.

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Candidates, well that's a lack of information on your, end,

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes because people don't want to read the. PAPER i,

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 1>mean we're in the information.

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Age you can literally ask The google right now about

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 2>any of these candidates and what their issues. Are they

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 2>all have, websites they've all done. Interviews if you don't

0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 2>think there's been enough information about, them that's on, you

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.359
<v Speaker 2>and that's. Fine but don't act like we have no

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 2>idea who any of these people.

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 1>Are, well go back to the argument against photo id for.

0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Voting the argument is there are people who are over

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:32.239
<v Speaker 1>the age of eighteen in the state Of california who

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 1>can't figure out how to get a driver's.

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 10>License pointed to a lack of information on the issues

0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:41.360
<v Speaker 10>and candidates thirty five percent blamed being turned off by

0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:43.879
<v Speaker 10>campaign contributions and quote unquote special.

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Interests that means they don't Like Tom stier's. Money did

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:52.200
<v Speaker 1>you see his negatives And Katie porter's negatives were higher

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 1>than everyone else in the.

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Race, Yes Tom steier has a lot of. Negativity there

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 2>is only so high that his support can go because

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 2>people are irritated by him on all sides of the political.

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Spectrum in a deep blue, state that's really hard to.

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Do Katie porter did. It she did both of. Them

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>did you're out of my.

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:23.320

<v Speaker 1>who have a lot of older Female democrats in their social,

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>circle and very few of them Like Katie. Porter and

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.000

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Numbers but this will be the, Election this will be

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:13.680
<v Speaker 2>the one where young people pay.

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Attention we still do and rock the. Vote, yeah, right.

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 12>Just have not turned out in large.

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 10>Numbers experts say it's often the.

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Most we're gonna start Getting Paul mitchell's ballot, tracker and

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 2>you're going to see of the people who return their ballots,

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 2>early most of them are in their. Seventies oh, yeah

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 2>and it works that way every single. Cycle that's not

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 2>something that's unique to this one particular. Election old people

0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 2>are the only ones who pay, attention.

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 12>Just have not turned out in large.

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 10>Numbers experts say it's often the most part is in

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 10>and the older voters not vote in, primaries and even

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 10>then it's typically low. Turnout according to The California secretary

0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 10>Of state of registered, voters thirty eight percent voted in

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 10>the twenty eighteen gubernatorial primary and thirty three percent in

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 10>the twenty twenty two gubernatorial.

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Primary that is so. Pathetic you want.

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.520
<v Speaker 4>To make a decision right that sets the ballot for

0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 4>that general. Election raises down the ballot right are vitally

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 4>important to people's, communities whether it be the school, board

0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 4>your local city, council your.

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 12>Mayor midterm elections really are a referendum on the president

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 12>and the president's.

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 10>Administration political Analyst Sieve, swaw noting the national implications as

0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 10>well With california's newly drawn congressional districts on the. Ballot

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 10>ballots can be dropped off at dropboxes which open On,

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 10>Tuesday may, fifth county elections, offices or return by mail.

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 4>If it's vote by mail mail vote by mail ballot

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 4>at least a week before election.

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Day it is hilarious to me that if you look

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 2>at the number that came, out where it was thirty

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 2>seven percent in twenty, eighteen in twenty twenty two it

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 2>was thirty three, percent and that is after we sent

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 2>a ballot to every Single californian's mail.

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Box, well think about this. TOO i talked about this

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 1>likely being a low turnout. Election prop fifty will have

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a part in that, too because in the old, days

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>there WERE i don't know how many contested congressional seats In,

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>california a dozen to some, degree maybe a couple, MORE

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 1>i don't. Know right now we HAVE i think three

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>or four contested congressional. Seats we have over. Fifty we

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:34.320
<v Speaker 1>have what fifty, three fifty, four something like. That and

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 1>unless you live in three or four congressional, districts the

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 1>outcome of your election for congress is a foregone. Conclusion

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 1>how do you get those people to turn out if

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you're The Democratic party where you can give them no?

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Direction not Even Kamala she's not even telling them how

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.800
<v Speaker 1>to vote for. Governor they have no direction on who

0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to vote for for, governor and they have no contested

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>election up or down the. Ballot, well there may be

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.959
<v Speaker 1>some people that they decided to go all in On,

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 1>swallwell Like Adam, schiff and they don't want to get burned. Again,

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 1>no because he hasn't endorsed anyone.

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Either at this, point they're all staying out of it at.

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Least a week before election.

0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:26.040
<v Speaker 10>Days all ballots must be postmarked by election day and

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 10>can be received by county elections offices up to seven days, after.

0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's why it's going to take a month to

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:35.239
<v Speaker 1>count the. Results by the, way you know, Who this

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>could be a perfect storm For who's that Is Spencer

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 1>pratt because if there's nothing to Motivate democrats to turn

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:48.480
<v Speaker 1>out And, republicans at least the ones who are paying

0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 1>attention know that there's an opportunity for A democrat lockout

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 1>on The november. Ballot so if they have any motivation at,

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>all which they, should but whether they do or not

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>is yet to be. Seen if they have a motivation

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to turn out because of the gubernatorial race And democrats

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 1>have no motivation to turn out because they have zero

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:14.320
<v Speaker 1>direction on how to, vote that could be enough to

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Get Spencer pratt into that second place slot and put

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 1>him on The november. Ballot it's a.

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Possibility and, yes there are plenty of optimistic voters out,

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 2>There But, john what do you do about the Defeatist

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 2>republican voters out?

0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:30.200
<v Speaker 1>There which is most of?

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 10>Them and remember to sign the vote by mail return.

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 10>Envelopes may, Eighteen this is the last data registered to,

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:41.200
<v Speaker 10>vote but you can't opt for same day registration and vote.

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 10>Conditionally if you miss that, deadline.

0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't get counted until it's, confirmed so it's put into

0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:49.520
<v Speaker 4>a separate. Envelope it's logged separately in the system.

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:50.160

<v Speaker 1>in With Deborah, sonders the Fabulous Debora, sonders formerly of

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 1>The San Francisco, Chronicle so make sure you stick around for.

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:24.240
<v Speaker 1>That let's go to the phones and Welcome tom And San. Jose.

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Tom, Hello, hey thanks for taking my. Call. JOHN i

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:31.279
<v Speaker 3>was wondering if you would be able to if you.

0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:33.480
<v Speaker 3>HAVEN'T i, MEAN i know you've chimed in a little

0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 3>bit and you've made a couple of comments here and,

0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 3>there BUT i think a lot of people want to

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 3>hear from you out of respect your knowledge and wisdom

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:46.439
<v Speaker 3>of this whole. Process should we try to get both

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 3>of The republicans in so for the first time in my,

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 3>lifetime we'll have actually Two republicans rather than nothing But democrats.

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Running or should we be careful not to split it

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.719
<v Speaker 3>up too much and wind up with nothing but A

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 3>democrat ticket once? Again how do you feel about?

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 1>That the answer is, Yes republicans should go for A

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:09.920
<v Speaker 1>democrat lockout on The november ballot because that is probably

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the only Way republicans win Unless besera is The democratic

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:18.320
<v Speaker 1>nominee and he gets indicted before the, election which is entirely.

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Possible the problem is That republicans can't pick who The

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:24.759
<v Speaker 1>democrat will be on the. Ballot it could Be, besarah

0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:28.040
<v Speaker 1>it could Be, styre it could Be Porter Matt, mahan

0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 1>could have a surge at the last. Minute you don't.

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Know democrats will control Which democrat does the best out

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:40.000
<v Speaker 1>of that. Pack that being, said WHAT i Think republicans

0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 1>should do is try to split their vote as close

0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to fifty to fifty as. Possible what you suggested is

0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:49.880
<v Speaker 1>a good, idea which is if you have households and

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 1>they just split their, votes that would be. Great the

0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:56.919
<v Speaker 1>problem is That trump got Behind Steve, hilton which means

0:35:57.080 --> 0:36:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Casual republican voters are going to refle lexively vote For

0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:05.120
<v Speaker 1>hilton Because Donald trump told them to do. That if

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you're listening to this, program you were so much smarter

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:12.360
<v Speaker 1>than the average, voter because you're paying attention to, politics

0:36:12.440 --> 0:36:15.239
<v Speaker 1>you're listening to radio programs to talk about, it you're

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 1>reading about, it you know about. It my advice is

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:23.879
<v Speaker 1>to vote for Whichever republican is polling in second place right.

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Now That's Chad. BIANCO i don't see that changing between

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 1>now an election. Day ALTHOUGH i Prefer hilton To. Bianco

0:36:30.920 --> 0:36:35.320
<v Speaker 1>i'm going to be voting For Chad. Bianco, excellent.

0:36:35.520 --> 0:36:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Excellent thank you for chiming. In AND i know there's

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:42.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people out there that were sorry for

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:45.240
<v Speaker 3>the eighties, reference but they were jonesing for this type

0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 3>of no.

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Because, well thank. You i'm glad to be able to provide.

0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:51.799
