How in the world, I 88 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: guess you could do it in the kitchen or the 89 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: back area behind the bar. How in the world do 90 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: you have sex at a crowded bar. 91 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 6: I have no experience in that regard, so I just 92 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 6: with my imagination, you can't figure out how it would 93 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 6: be very. 94 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: Pleasurable, especially if you're the mayor, if you're the mayor 95 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: of a city. And in that town car. 96 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 5: His sister was in the town car with them and 97 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 5: other people. 98 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 6: She doesn't remember how many people, so everyone around them 99 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 6: had to have known what was happening. 100 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: It seems like they weren't being particularly discreet. 101 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 5: You know, she went with. 102 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 6: Friends down to La when she knew that he would 103 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 6: be there for work, and then you know, just let 104 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 6: him know basically that she was there, and he was 105 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 6: more than happy to have her come to his room 106 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 6: for a booty hall. 107 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 5: He was pursuing her as well. Was it like she 108 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 5: was just some stalker? 109 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: And he claimed in the book that he had moral 110 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: objections to this relationship and that he was the one 111 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: that came clean to her husband, who worked with him 112 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: as his campaign manager for his reelection campaign. She says 113 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: in the essay that's not what happened at all. 114 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 6: That's not even what was reported at the time. At 115 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 6: the time, it was reported that Alex Torque came into 116 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 6: the office just angry and wanting to talk to Gavin 117 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 6: and confronted him about it because he wanted Gavin. 118 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 5: To have to lo and the eye and admit it. 119 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 5: And that was after. 120 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 6: Ruby had told him, because obviously he's not just going 121 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 6: to go walk in months after his wife has left 122 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 6: the administration to go into impatient rehab and just come 123 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 6: in there spontaneously. 124 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 5: She had told him, against the advice of her sobriety counselors. 125 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 5: He said, well, if he. 126 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 6: Doesn't know and things are going well with your marriage, 127 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 6: just it might be bad for your recovery to tell him. 128 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 6: But then as she watched Alex continue to work on 129 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 6: Gavin's reelection campaign and spend all this time with him, 130 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 6: she felt so guilty that here he is out there 131 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 6: helping this man who had betrayed him by sleeping with 132 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 6: his wife, and so she decided to come clean. 133 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: Then I came away from her essay with the impression 134 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: that Gavin would have been happy to let this go 135 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: on forever had they not been caught, or had she 136 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: not cut it off. 137 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 6: Oh, I agree, And it's more that of the it 138 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 6: got cut off because she went to rehab because her 139 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 6: sister and family kind of staged an intervention. After they 140 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 6: had to take her, I passed out an odd body 141 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 6: back home at three and four in the morning. 142 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: She talks about her raging alcoholism and her drug addiction. 143 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: Did she talk about his at all, about what substances 144 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: he was consuming, because he's someone who went to rehab 145 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: allegedly as well. 146 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, after this incident, he claimed that he had a 147 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 5: problem with alcohol. 148 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 6: They were both drinking a lot, and I find it 149 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 6: hard to believe that she said she was doing lines 150 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 6: of cocaine all throughout the evening so that she could 151 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 6: keep drinking, that he wasn't. He had to at least 152 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 6: been aware of what she was doing, if not partaking 153 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 6: in it. But she didn't come out and say anything 154 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 6: like that, you know. And it struck me that he 155 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 6: was flirting with her right in front of her husband 156 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 6: on numerous occasions that she described in that essay, and 157 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 6: even at that wedding, her husband went on home and 158 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 6: Gavin stayed there and said, Hey, just go back to 159 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 6: the hotel with me. What kind of person does that? 160 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 6: If you or I are at a wedding, we see 161 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 6: a friend who's had too much to drink and their 162 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 6: spouse is saying, hey, come on, let's go home. Do 163 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 6: we say stay here and party with me? 164 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: No? 165 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 6: We say, oh, sweetie, I think it's best if you 166 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 6: go on home and we'll catch up later. 167 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 5: Like what kind of person does what Gavin was doing? 168 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: Has he ever commented on whether or not he's had 169 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: an addiction to cocaine? No, not that I know of, 170 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: because I'm trying to think about where he is with substances, 171 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: and I can't really place it. Because we know that 172 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 1: he went to rehab after the affair. He said he 173 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: had a problem with alcohol, and that's why he checked 174 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: himself in. He understood that he had a problem and 175 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: he wanted to be proactive about it. But then we've 176 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: heard him publicly state that he sits at home and 177 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: watches the news at night, drinking a glass of wine, 178 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: and we know that he doesn't believe in clean and sober. 179 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: He's also made that crystal clear. And then when one 180 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: of his friends was being interviewed about Gavin's reaction to 181 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: the LA fires, the friend stated publicly that Gavin was 182 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: so distraught about the La fires that the night of 183 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: the fires, he drank an entire bottle of tequila on 184 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: his own. And if you've been to rehab and you 185 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: quit cold turkey, or you've gone through the ten steps whatever. 186 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: You're not supposed to binge drink anymore. You're not probably 187 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: even supposed to have wine every single night. Well, you've 188 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: watched the news, and I honestly don't know where he 189 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: is with that. Did she give the impression that him 190 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: going to rehab was political cover or did she think 191 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: that he had a problem. 192 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 6: She doesn't really address it, but she does talk about 193 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 6: that all of their encounters were around alcohol, of her 194 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 6: drinking champagne and wine, and then later the and I 195 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 6: mean there's I'm sure you've heard all the rumors I 196 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 6: have over the years about Gavin and different substances. 197 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 5: But a bottle of tequila, even a small one. 198 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 6: I don't know anyone who can drink an entire bottle 199 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 6: in an evening and be able to handle that. 200 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: I'm a drinker. I love my libations. If I drink 201 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: an entire bottle of tequila, I think I'd be in 202 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: the hospital. Yeah. 203 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 5: Same. 204 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: The only people who can do that are people who 205 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: are such raging alcoholics that their tolerance is so high 206 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: that they can get away with it. But I mean 207 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: people who. 208 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 6: Are medicating with other things too, like the uppers and 209 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 6: the downers and the cocaine said that you can do 210 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 6: the tequila. 211 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: What does she think of Gavin today, She doesn't really say. 212 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 5: But what struck out struck me was when she said. 213 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 6: Near the end of it that when she read his memoir, 214 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 6: she was a again feeling like other people were speaking 215 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 6: for her who didn't really know her, and that her 216 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 6: story was being told by other people in their way, 217 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 6: kind of like when Jennifer Newsom did her whole mean 218 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 6: Girl thing where she wrote that eight hundred and twenty 219 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 6: word screed about Ruby back when the news of the 220 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 6: affair first broke, and I get the impression from that 221 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 6: that she's not a fan of how he dismisses this 222 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 6: affair as just the briefest of affairs, even though from 223 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 6: what I calculated in this story, it was eleven months 224 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 6: and would have kept going had. 225 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 5: She not gone to rehab. 226 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: And when contacted about it, his press office is saying 227 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: he said what he had to say about it in 228 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: his book and he's not going to comment further. However, 229 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: what he said in the book and what she said 230 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: in the essay are different. Wouldn't you assume since what 231 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: they're saying is different, that he would be willing to 232 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: clear the air and to expect the differences. But apparently 233 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't have any interest in doing that. 234 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 6: I think he's going to have to when it comes 235 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 6: to a Democrat primary. There's no way that the people 236 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 6: who are going to be running against him are going 237 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 6: to let him get away with that. And yeah, she 238 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 6: did say in this essay that when everything first came 239 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 6: out in two thousand and seven, that Kamala called her 240 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 6: and was actually there for her and advised her to 241 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 6: not say anything right then, but to give herself some 242 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 6: time to process things before she spoke, and that she 243 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 6: enjoyed that advice from Kamala. I think that Kamala was 244 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 6: probably trying to do some cleanup for Gavin at the 245 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 6: time and doing it in that kind of a diplomatic way. 246 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 6: But it did work out for her that she was 247 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 6: able to kind of process things without being in the 248 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 6: middle of tabloids, which isn't an easy thing to do. 249 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 6: So I wouldn't be surprised if Kamala Team Kamala was 250 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 6: a little bit behind having this come out in Vanity Fair, 251 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 6: because it's been what six months since Gavin's book came out, 252 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 6: and we didn't hear anything until now. 253 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: How close is this woman Na Kamala. 254 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 6: I know they all work together in the San Francisco 255 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,479 Speaker 6: political circles. I don't know what they're with their relationship 256 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 6: is it since then, but it's definitely something I'm interested. 257 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 5: In looking into. 258 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: That would be interesting if Kamala is behind this woman 259 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: coming out and putting her story out now, because as 260 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: you look at the twenty twenty eight presidential Democratic primary, 261 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: there's really not enough room in that primary for both 262 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: of them because they have the same donors, they have 263 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: the same consultants, they have a lot of the same 264 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: constituents and voters and interest groups that support them and 265 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: unions that support them. And if they go in and 266 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: get involved in a battle to the death with one 267 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: another over a finite number of resources, they're going to 268 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: split them down the middle, and some other establishment candidate 269 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: or some DSA candidate is going to be able to 270 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: leapfrog them and win that primary. I wonder if what 271 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: if she is behind this, If Kamala is trying to 272 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: knock him out early so she has that lane all 273 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: to herself, I. 274 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 6: Wouldn't be surprised, and especially given that it's just what 275 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 6: yesterday that the story started coming out about Kamala floating 276 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 6: plans to run in twenty twenty eight. 277 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 5: Pretty coincidental timing there. 278 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: One thing that we know about cheaters is that cheaters 279 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: very rarely change their ways. If you're a cheater, if 280 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: you're someone who is willing to have affairs on the side, 281 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: it's not usually a one time thing. I guess there 282 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: probably are people where they've had a one time thing, 283 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: but more often than not, particularly with men, I would 284 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: assume that it's a pattern of behavior. Have we heard 285 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: any rumors or any allegations of any infidelity in recent 286 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: years or is he trying to be a good boy 287 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: now that he knows that the press is paying attention 288 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: to him because he's going to be running for president. 289 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 5: There have been very loud rumors for at least six 290 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 5: years that he has been having. 291 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 6: An affair with Lindsay kobea who has the highest paid 292 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 6: employee at his campaign for Democracy pack. I think she 293 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 6: got like a two hundred thousand dollars bonus at the 294 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 6: end of last year. I need to double check the 295 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 6: numbers on it, but it was a very significant six 296 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 6: figure number, because I remember my jaw dropping when I 297 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 6: looked at that. But it's never been confirmed, but it's 298 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 6: been a very loud rumor throughout California. 299 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how he responds to it. 300 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: We mentioned that his press office is saying that he 301 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: has no plans on adding anything to this. But you 302 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: can't control what reporters ask you when you sit down 303 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: for an interview. And if he's going to be a 304 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: candidate for the presidency, he's going to have to make 305 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: himself available to CNN and MSNBC and the liberal podcasts 306 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: and all the usual places that candidates go. I wonder 307 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: what his answer will be and asked about it, because 308 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: the question will almost certainly come up. 309 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 6: Well, they could even go about it in a little 310 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 6: bit of a roundabout way, because the first flirtation that 311 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 6: she describes is when they're at a Mexican restaurant. Her 312 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 6: husband is there too, because people from the office and 313 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 6: that she was not drinking. She was in one of 314 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 6: her sobriety periods. But Gavin's kind of staring at her, 315 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 6: and she catches as Gays looks up and he just 316 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 6: gets uncomfortble ays. 317 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 5: Oh, you know, you look really good. 318 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 6: You've lost that pregnancy weight, and that she kind of 319 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 6: looked over at her husband's margarita, wishing that she could 320 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 6: drink it, and that's when she kind. 321 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 5: Of thinking, oh, wow, this guy might like me. 322 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 6: But what kind of a person again, in front of 323 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 6: someone's wife who's your employee and you're one of your 324 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 6: best friends, is saying that kind of stuff and. 325 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 5: Staring at them. 326 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 6: It's a little creepy and it really should give us 327 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 6: some questions about Gavin's leadership ability and how he is 328 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 6: and an employer. 329 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: His come online was you've lost the pregnancy weight. 330 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 5: I think her baby. 331 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 6: Might have been six months old that time, And I 332 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 6: laughed at when I saw that, and I forget how 333 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 6: else she described it, but it sounded like classic Gavin. 334 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 6: But just before I came on the air, Susan Crabtree 335 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 6: had tweeted at me and said, you know, if his 336 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 6: comments about post pregnancy weight don't lose him the woman vote, 337 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 6: then his wife's comments about Ruby might And I didn't. 338 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 5: Think about that. 339 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of women are going to be a 340 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 6: little defensive about the whole pregnancy weight comment. 341 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I think one of the one of 342 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: the things that he's going to battle when he runs 343 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: for president is that he comes across as being inauthentic. 344 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: He comes across as being inauthentic just across the board 345 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: to me. But when you read this essay and you 346 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: hear how he interacts with women that he's pursuing, he 347 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: comes across as really inauthentic. Part of his calculus when 348 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: he runs for president is he thinks that women are 349 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: going to vote for him, in part because of his looks, 350 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: in part because of his policies that he has supported, 351 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: particularly in the Democratic primary. And I think that that 352 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: if he's going to be successful in that primary, it's 353 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: going to be women that really push him over the top. 354 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: How do you think women are going to react when 355 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: they read this. 356 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 6: It's hard for me to tell how lieral women will 357 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 6: react because I don't really identify with them. 358 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 5: But I felt bad for her. 359 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 6: I felt like she was blaming herself more than she 360 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 6: should have, because, yes, even though she was choosing to 361 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 6: flirt with him and meet in places, she doesn't remember 362 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 6: a number of these incidents and was completely wasted, and 363 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 6: he was using his that was her boss at the time. Ye, 364 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 6: he's missing all of that. 365 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: Fascinating, fascinating, fascinating stuff.
