Hot mustard sauce is usually associated with Chinese food. 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I enjoy. 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: Lumpia are not egg rolls. I didn't even know they 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: existed until an hour ago. I feel like we're gonna 22 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: need to broaden your horizons about Filipino food. Eight hundred 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: two two two five two two two is the telephone 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: number one eight hundred two two two five to two 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 2: two two. Well, now that we are well a couple 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: of weeks removed from the election, there is a lot 27 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: of complaining going on in various quarters about California's top 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: two primary system. The Republicans don't like it, The Democrats 29 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: don't seem to like it, so that leads to the 30 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: question who the hell wants it. 31 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: For? 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: More on the uh complaining about our top two primary, 33 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: here's a report from ABC seven in the Bay. 34 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 4: Now to your voice your vote. 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 5: In the lead up to the June second election, the 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 5: crowded rate for governor brought renewed scrutiny for California's top 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 5: two primary system, in which the top two vote getters 38 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 5: advanced to the November general election regardless of their political party. 39 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 6: ABC seven Eyewitness News political reporter Monica Madden examines whether 40 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 6: the system is working as intended. 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: No, no, it's not. How was it supposed to be 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: intended to work. 43 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: It was supposed to get moderate Republicans elected and moderate Democrats. 44 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: It was supposed to benefit someone like Matt Mahon and 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: guess what he lost. 46 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny because that was the same 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: argument that they've used in the Bay Area, that that's 48 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: why we need ranked choice voting. You're going to get 49 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: much more moderate candidates. You won't have people pulled to 50 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: all these ideological extremes. And Johnny, what did rank choice 51 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: voting get us in Oakland? 52 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: Shanghy, that's right. I like that. That was amazing, But 53 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: that's the way it's always worked. Instead of getting someone 54 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: who has experience, you end up with some random person. Well, 55 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: guess what if you take rank choice voting and you 56 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: put it in every election, every single election is going 57 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: to be like a version of the movie King Ralph, 58 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: and trust me, you don't want that. 59 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 7: California switched to the top two primary in twenty twelve, 60 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 7: promising less partisanship and more competitive races, but this year's 61 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 7: crowded governor's contest really raised new questions. Most states let 62 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 7: political parties choose their nominees before the general election, but 63 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 7: in twenty ten, California voters approved a new system giving 64 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 7: voters the same ballot regardless of party. Most of the time, 65 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 7: California still gets a Democrat versus Republican matchup, but not always, 66 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 7: and this year, fears of two Republicans advancing in the 67 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 7: race for governors sent shock waves. 68 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: That got people to actually pay attention to the race. 69 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: Well, I can think of two races in particular where 70 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: lockouts actually happened. One is the race for Insurance Commissioner, 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: where voters in November will not have the choice of 72 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: a Republican versus a Democrat. They'll have the choice of 73 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: a Democrat who is closely aligned to Ricardo Lara and 74 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: a Democrat who is a socialist. In the Orange County 75 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: congressional race that involved Ken Calvert, an incumbent congressman, and 76 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: Young Kim, an incumbent congresswoman, both of the Republicans finished 77 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: first and second, meaning the Democrats are going to be 78 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: locked off the November ballot in that particular race, So. 79 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: They're going to buy a bunch more ads on this 80 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: station then probably it's like the only political money we got. 81 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: And those ads were weird. 82 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 7: Democratic leaders calling on lower polling candidates to drop out 83 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 7: at the time that included now nominee jab Eta Pasta. 84 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that funny? When Rusty comes up with this plan. 85 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: All right, we got to make sure that only the 86 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: viable candidates like Eric Swalwell move forward. We really need 87 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: Javier Bisera to drop out. 88 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: Oh, that's what they wanted all of them to do. 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: They wanted Bessarah out, they wanted via re Gosa out, 90 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: they wanted Betty Yee out, they wanted Tony Thurman out. 91 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: I think they wanted Matt Mayhet out because they wanted 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: to make room for Eric Swalwell. Imagine being one of 93 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: those candidates and sitting through that pitch. You know, we 94 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: know you spent your entire life in politics, and you've 95 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: worked your way up the food chain to get to 96 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: a point where you can run for governor. But you see, 97 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: we have this guy that we think is really the future. 98 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: We think he's got an impressive resume, great credentials, and 99 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: is impeccable on ethics. He's a guy you can really trust, 100 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: a guy you could let watch your daughters for you. 101 00:05:52,120 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell, Oh what a fascinating campaign it was. 102 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 7: Democrats scrambled to consolidate eventually. 103 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: Cold by the way, when that whole letter came out, 104 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: If you remember, one of those low polling candidates was 105 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: Ian Calderon and Eil Calderone was the only one to 106 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: take Rusty up on his offer, dropped out and then 107 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: endorsed Eric Swalwell. Yeah, how did that play out for him? 108 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: Not well? Not well at all. 109 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 7: Blessing around bissera after Eric Swalwell dropped out a mid scandal, 110 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 7: the entire fiasco. 111 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: How about the fact that when Swalwell got in, his 112 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: buddy Sleeven Klubec drops out and not only endorses him, 113 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: but starts funding his campaign. 114 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: Well, that's before he kicked him out of his house 115 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: and trashed him on the news. 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: Well he did, don't bust the trust. He busted the trust, 117 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: and you do not bust the trust. 118 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: And then he ended up getting in trouble. 119 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 2: Yes, you were on vacation for that. That one. Stephen Klubeck, 120 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: who is a billionaire that made his money off of 121 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: time shares, Spare your judgment, apparently was threatening victims of 122 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: his fiancee who was a scam artist slash OnlyFans model 123 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: who was befriending rich men. 124 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: To rob them, and that he married her. 125 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if they got married, but I think 126 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: they were on the way. 127 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Well, I saw either engagement or wedding photos that he 128 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: posted on social media. 129 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: Just because you're a billionaire doesn't mean you're in fact, 130 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: it's probably signifier that you are not a normal dude. 131 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: I bet you he's fun to gamble with. And I'll 132 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: tell you, I'm kicking myself that I didn't take Larry 133 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: Flint up on his invitation when he invited me to 134 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: go out to Las Vegas with him the gamble. And 135 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: you know why I didn't do it? And why is that? 136 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: Because he also told me that he goes to the 137 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: rio or when he's dead now, But he used to 138 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: go to the rio and get a million dollars in 139 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: chips and play poker for I think it was poker 140 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: or blackjack for twenty four consecutive hours.

And I thought, I don't 143 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: think I can go for twenty four consecutive hours. And 144 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: if a guy in a wheelchair who's been shot a 145 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: bunch of times out last me because his stamina is better, 146 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: that's going to be a bad look. 147 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 7: Reigniting debate over the top two system. 148 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 8: I think Democrats and Republicans should be thinking about changing 149 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 8: this top two primary system so that we don't have 150 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 8: the potential for millions of Californians to be facing a 151 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 8: general election without a Canada from their party on the ballot. 152 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: This really was the election that made Paul Mitchell a 153 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: household name. 154 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: And he's not the shampoo guy losing candidates. This top 155 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: two jungle primary has got. 156 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: To go to poor boring Betty Ye dropped out at 157 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 2: one percent and then she. 158 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Got behind Tom Steyer. Bad judgment, Betty. 159 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: She was running longer than anybody and that campaign got 160 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: zero traction the entire time winners. 161 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 9: We need to end this top two system and move 162 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 9: back to something that will guarantee voters have a real choice. 163 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 4: That's what democracy is all about. 164 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: And then the Republican will lose by thirty points. 165 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 7: But not everyone agrees. And do you think the top 166 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 7: two is having its intended effect? 167 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: I think it is. 168 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: If you look at the California state legislature, while it's 169 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: dominated by Democrats, what we've seen over the years is 170 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 3: two separate Democratic caucuses emerge, one that is much more 171 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: traditionally progressive, and then. 172 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: You have the Alex Lee caucus. 173 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's really many blue dogs left, 174 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: maybe a couple of them, But you would need the 175 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: Republicans to have a say for the blue dogs to 176 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: really impact government, because they need to vote with the 177 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,359 Speaker 1: Republicans every so often to kill bad legislation. 178 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 2: So I'm guessing what Dan Schnur says here is, well, 179 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: we need the top two system so we can have 180 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: traditional Democrat versus DSA fights up and down the state. 181 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: I think that's what he's talking about now. He did 182 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: run for Secretary of State at one point himself, and 183 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: he ran as a non no party preference candidate, an 184 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: MPP candidate, and he was hoping that that would benefit 185 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: him in the top two primary, but it didn't. I 186 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: think he even finished right around Leland Yee right before 187 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: he got popped for gun running or after he got 188 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: popped for gun running. 189 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 3: But it is one which is also very left le 190 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 3: na on social and cultural issues. The chemiscy be more 191 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 3: willing to work with the business community and with job creators. 192 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 7: Whether voters will want to change the system in the 193 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 7: next primary cycle remains to be seen, but the debate 194 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 7: over the top two is far from over. In the newsroom, 195 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 7: monk them out in EBC seven eyewitness news. 196 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 2: So there you go. People not very happy from all 197 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: sides of the political spectrum on Californi's top two system. Now, 198 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: if you're saying, wait, we need the top two system. 199 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: That way the no party preferencers can put their voice 200 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: out in the primary, I'm here to tell you the 201 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: NPPs don't vote. 202 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: Not long ago, there was video that ended up on 203 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: social media of paid canvassers who were offering money to 204 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: homeless people to sign petitions to get certain initiatives on 205 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: the ballot. They weren't being paid to sign the petitions 206 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: as themselves, but to forge the signatures of other registered voters. 207 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: We saw that video. Originally, this all came from JJ Smith, 208 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: our buddy in the Tenderloin, showing people getting paid to 209 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: sign fake names. And now we've seen it moved down 210 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: to skid row and people aren't just signing fake names 211 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: on the petitions for money, they're also doing it for smokes. 212 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: Interesting. 213 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: Now, do you think it's for a pack, a carton 214 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: or a lucy, which is a term for a loose cigarette. 215 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. It depends on how good they can negotiate. 216 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: I guess. 217 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: All right, for more on the homeless getting paid in 218 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: pall mall's to sign those petitions for the kidney ballot. 219 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: Here's Fox eleven in La and our buddy Matthew Seedorf. 220 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 10: Right here only on Fox eleven tonight, Growing concerns about 221 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 10: alleged illegal signature collectors on skid Row been used for 222 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 10: political reasons. 223 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: I don't know how you feel about this. I think 224 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: paid signature gathering has to go well in a state 225 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: as big as California.
