1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: And we continue at one five in the afternoon on

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: the John Phillips Show, Mister Randy weggs across the glass well,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: the valley has outdone South La. Sure, the old news

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: was that there were sewer people in South LA. Now

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: there's sewer people in Canoga Park. There's sewer people all over.

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: We just got an email at Johnny don't like show

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. That's Johnny Don't like show at

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: gmail dot com about our girl, Katie Porter. Here's what

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: the email said. I questioned John's request to create a

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: drop of Katie Porter, saying I can smell it right here,

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: but I'm very glad that he did. Makes me laugh

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: every time.

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: You can smell it right here.

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 3: It's a contender for Drop of the year. Folks.

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: Now, it's interesting that we got that email because America's sweetheart,

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Katie Porter is on the campaign trail. So Katie Porter,

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: along with several other candidates, was all dressed up, made

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: up and ready to go to that debate at USC

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: and then that debate got canceled. So Katie Porter was

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: all jazzed up and nowhere to go. So what did

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: she do? She turned on the Instagram live on her

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: FaceTime on her phone, and she said, screw it. I'll

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: just say everything that I was gonna say there right

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: here on the Socials True Story.

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 3: I was watching it from my hot tub. You might

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: have a problem. For more. We go to Katie Porter's INSTA.

27
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: Hi, everybody, it's Katie Porter.

28
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Oh, we're doing that again. We're back to the little

29
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: girl voice. You're always wondering which Katie Porter you're gonna get.

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's the real Katie Porter out of my shot.

31
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's Katie Porter the chef.

32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: Worry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots.

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's Katie Port of the.

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: Gormand I'm pulling in to the bakery.

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's Katie Port of the hall mech expert.

36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: What I haven't heard about is anything about dishwashers.

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's Katie Port of the airline passenger. Sometimes it's

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: Katie Port of the wrestler. Oh, but this time it

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: was high pitched Katie.

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: Okay.

41
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I have this wrong because my degrees aren't in psychology,

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: they're in political science, so I don't know much about this.

43
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: But maybe she's in fact not bipolar, which is what

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,559
Speaker 1: I call her all the time. Maybe she's multiple personalities.

45
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: You're saying that this Katie and this Katie out of

46
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: my shot are separate personalities inside that body.

47
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first one was the purple Lady.

48
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Hi, everybody, it's Katie Porter, excited to be with you

49
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: this evening.

50
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: Wow, we've gone up an octave.

51
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Okay, if you have pets in your car, it may

52
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: be a good idea to turn the volume of the

53
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: radio down because this is going to make them jump

54
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: out of the window. And I'm just going to point

55
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: out as we listen to this video that went on

56
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: for thirty five minutes, we're not going to get to

57
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: all thirty five minutes, but I have to tell you

58
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: the visual here, which, by the way, you can check

59
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: out this video. I posted it on my substack today

60
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Randywangradio dot substack dot com. Because she's on FaceTime on

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: Instagram Live, and she has decided that she's going to

62
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: be doing lots of propcomedy at this insta live where

63
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: she's going to show different polls and different little charts

64
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: that she's written on the whiteboard. But because she's on

65
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: her FaceTime camera, all of the images appear backwards. Is

66
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: she going to make MINNESTRONI No, she did that in

67
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: a different video.

68
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: Sorry for the noise. I'm cutting carrots for those of

69
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: you who don't know. I'm running for governor of California.

70
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: We had expected you.

71
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Notice at the end of California she even goes up

72
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: a notch. It's almost like she's doing her best a

73
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Laney impression for Californians. Why didn't you run so weird?

74
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: You got the money, lady.

75
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 2: We had expected to be on the debate stage this evening.

76
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: When that debate was canceled, we wanted to make sure

77
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: that we still had a chance to take questions from Californians.

78
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: So please spoiler alert, she doesn't actually take any questions

79
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: for a really long time. She just has a big

80
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: spiel to do. Oh yeah, she goes through all of

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: her canned answers, so please, pretty much everything she was

82
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: set to say at the debate she was gonna unload

83
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: on the instas.

84
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: So please put your questions in the chat. We're watching.

85
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: I have wonderful My campaign manager, Crystal's here watching to see.

86
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: Wait, is she the one that got cursed out? No,

87
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: I don't think she works for her anymore.

88
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Out of my shot that wasn't Crystal huh?

89
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: Watching to see your questions and I have a couple

90
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: of whiteboards coming up.

91
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: Boy, she really is the female carrot Top, isn't she.

92
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: There's a video that she put out this morning, but

93
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: I refuse to play it on the air because she

94
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: ropes her daughter into it, and her daughter's a minor

95
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: and I don't want to exploit that. But there's from

96
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: the mini van driving to go meet unions. Oh come on,

97
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I do want to see more videos from that minivan.

98
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: I want to see all the fast food wrappers, all

99
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: the candy wrappers, all the stolen handicapped parking placards, the

100
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: unpaid parking tickets. What do you think else's in there?

101
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: It's kind of like whatever the bad version of the

102
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: Mary Poppins carpetbag is can be found on the floor

103
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: of that minivan.

104
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: To talk with you about it as well, So firstly,

105
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: just start with the most Well you remember the prop

106
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: when she was sitting with Aton Wallace for her senate

107
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: run and they looked at the minivan and oh, my

108
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: kid's homework is back here.

109
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: Oh look at that.

110
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: To talk with you about it as well, So firstly,

111
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: just start with the most obvious question, I guess is

112
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: what do I think is at stake in this governor's race.

113
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: That's not the most obvious question. Nope.

114
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: I wonder how many people in the chat, because she

115
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: was doing this from the kitchen, said where's the exercise bike? Well,

116
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: here's the most obvious question. Who's willing to ensure that minivan,

117
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: Adriana or Veronica.

118
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: Winter chicking dinner? What do I think I would bring

119
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: into Californians as governor? And for me, this race is

120
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: really about our future. It's about making I'm sure that

121
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: we are going to be focused on how do we

122
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: make sure that our kids and future generations at Californians

123
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: can live here. That means not just good, high paying jobs,

124
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: but also can they afford housing, can they afford healthcare?

125
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: Do we get to live in a place that's true

126
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: to our California values, which means standing up to Donald Trump.

127
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: There's your first mention right out of the box.

128
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: So this race is obviously about fighting back against Trump.

129
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: I have done that when I was in Congress. But

130
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: it's also about solving some of California's long standing challenges.

131
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to.

132
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: Talk about you.

133
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: No, I know we call her America's sweetheart all the

134
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: time on this program, but you know what she really is?

135
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: What's that America's ex wife.

136
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to talk with you tonight about some

137
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: of my policy proposals around free college tuition, around childcare,

138
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: around housing, and excited to do that. So I think

139
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: the next question I'm gonna take might be the most

140
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: obvious one, which.

141
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Is these aren't questions, No, this is her talking to herself, which,

142
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: again multiple personalities, I guess is no big shocker. She

143
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: did a whole bunch of debate prep and she's just

144
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: using that. There isn't like, hey, hot girl ninety three

145
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: wants to know, No, that's not going on here.

146
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: I think the next question I'm gonna take might be

147
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: the most obvious one, which is what happened? Why are

148
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: you not on the debate stage? And I want to

149
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: tell you So, I had a great outfit. I had

150
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: graty earrings. I was very excited. Even my fourteen year

151
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: old daughter approved of my outfit.

152
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: She really likes to rope the kids in Okay.

153
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if you let your kids dress you though,

154
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: I think my niece would have me dressed up like

155
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: a pirate because whenever they have the full ability to choose,

156
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: it's always an old Halloween costume, is not o.

157
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: And I think we all know that does not happen

158
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: very often. So the Decision USC which was hosting this debate,

159
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: put together a set of criteria about who was going

160
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: to be invited, and those criteria were waiting about two

161
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: thirds toward where people stood, where the candidates stood in

162
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: the poll, at about one third toward how much money

163
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: candidates had either contributed to themselves in the case of

164
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: a self funder like Tom Steyer.

165
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 3: Oh she hate Tom Steyer, Oh she does.

166
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: You imagine how disappointed she was when this debate got canceled,

167
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: how many things that she was going to scream at

168
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: Tom Steyer in his face about well, I think if

169
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: you're looking at which personality would be interacting with Styer,

170
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: that would be the pro wrestler.

171
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: Had raised. And because of that, one of the low

172
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: pulling candidates pulling up at our below three percent in

173
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: the most recent poll, San Jose Mayor and Matt Mayhon

174
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: was invited to the debate stage.

175
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: This is where the whole thing fell apart. It was

176
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: a very wealthy donor to USC allegedly Rick Caruso, who

177
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: said Mayhead needs to be there, which means they had

178
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: to change their algorithm, which screwed over people like Tony V.

179
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: But that's the way those universities work. If you have

180
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: a building named after you, anything you want goes. Everything

181
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: is paid to play at these universities, including USC, San.

182
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: Jose Mayor and Matt Mayhon was invited to the debate stage.

183
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: Other candidates, folks who've been running for a year alongside me,

184
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: were excluded, although they have pulled usually a little bit higher.

185
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 2: So after lots of back and forth, lots of understandable

186
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: concern about letting money influence politics, about transparency, but also

187
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 2: about wanting to be in front of voters and give

188
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: voters choices. Last night late I just heard this morning,

189
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: USC canceled the debate. So let me tell you kind of.

190
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: How much screaming do you think happened when that happened. Oh,

191
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: you would not want to be her campaign manager that night.

192
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: Sorry for the noise. I'm cutting carrots. So let me

193
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: tell you kind of where the polls stand, and I

194
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: have two for you. First, this is.

195
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: A little okay again, this is radio, but you're going

196
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: to need to check out the visual of her holding

197
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: up a screen, but because she's on FaceTime, the screen

198
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: image that she's showing appears backwards and nobody can read

199
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: it well. Given the fact that Gavin Newsom is dyslexic,

200
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: what do you think he thought.

201
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: First, this is a little bit of a different use

202
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: of a whiteboard than I have made in the past.

203
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: But first, this is a recent poll and what it

204
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: shows is that the two Republicans. This came out today.

205
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 2: By the way that the two Republicans.

206
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: I love the fact that she has no idea that

207
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: what the viewers see are hieroglyphics, that the.

208
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: Two Republicans are still polling. At sixteen and fourteen, there

209
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: are only two major Republican candidates, and there's a.

210
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 3: Three there's ten others, but we don't know who they are.

211
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: And there's a three way tie among the Democrats.

212
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: So when she's talking, this is the poll that was

213
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: released by the California Democrat Party to get the other

214
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: candidates to drop out. Let's just quickly move on from

215
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: this as fast as we can, because I don't want

216
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,359
Speaker 1: to think about Katie Porter in three ways in any capacity.

217
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: Little deed and there's a three way tie among the Democrats.

218
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: Me, Tom Steier, Eric Swollwell, that would be quite a

219
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: three way Aaron Swallwell, they're the bread and she's the

220
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: meat in that little sandwich.

221
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: Oscar Meyer.

222
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: Baby.

223
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: Now, I know these numbers look low. There are a

224
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: decent number of undecided voters. But when you total these

225
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: numbers up, it's like they total to thirty plus thirty.

226
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: That's sixty the mas she's doing math carry the four

227
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: divide by two usually what the whiteboards are meant for

228
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: solving complex math problems.

229
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: And then we've got some of the other candidates are

230
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: all pulling in. This poll from the California Democratic Party

231
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: are all pulling came out today, are pulling in either

232
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: three percent, two percent or one percent.

233
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: Sorry, Betty, how much do you think Betty ye hates her?

234
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,479
Speaker 2: So that's where it stands right now, a three way tie,

235
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: and among the Democrats, the two Republicans still higher. So

236
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 2: I would say I get a lot of questions about

237
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: what are we going to do. We don't want a Republican,

238
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: we don't want to governor who's going to cooperate with Trump.

239
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: We're back to the pro wrestler.

240
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: But she's still trying to do it in the hoity

241
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: toity hive pitch voice.

242
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: I completely agree. This poll that is coming out from

243
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: the Californy Democratic Party today, which is going to continue

244
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: to come out, is an effort to provide candidates with

245
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: fresh information.

246
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: It's an effort to pressure the low pollers to get out.

247
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: That's what they want. They do not want a Republican

248
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: elected governor.

249
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: Is an effort to provide candidates with fresh information about

250
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: where they stand and about what where the situation is.

251
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: Our job is to continue to push forward to win

252
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: over undecided voters. We're going to be coming up on

253
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: digital and TV ads soon.

254
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: Katie's going to be on the TV.

255
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: She hasn't really done a whole lot of spending all

256
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: of the ads that I play for you just go

257
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: up on her YouTube page. But I don't think she's

258
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: doing a lot of buys.

259
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 4: Well.

260
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: I think that's what a lot of them are doing.

261
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: A lot of them, outside of Tom Steyr and Matt

262
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: Mayhan are hoarding their money so they can just dump

263
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: it all in at the very end. We're getting to

264
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: a point where I have KTLA on in the studio

265
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: in case there's like breaking news or a chase or something.

266
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Every commercial break I look up, it's either mayheen styer

267
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: sty r mayhean back and forth, over and over and

268
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: over again. I have Channel eleven on in here, and

269
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: all it is are Tom Steyer ads.

270
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: We're going to be coming up on digital ads and

271
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: TV ads soon. That is all part about helping those

272
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: people who are undecided to make a choice. So on

273
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: that front, I wanted to start taking some questions. The

274
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: first question we have is pretty easy one what are

275
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: your top priorities?

276
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: Nobody, nobody in the Instagram live chat wrote that question.

277
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: No, because here's what happens.

278
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: You say, Bob in Claremont wants to know, blah blah blah.

279
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: You just don't go Okay, here's our first question, and

280
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: then you ask yourself the question. Well, and you ask

281
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: such a basic question, I'll tell you by the way.

282
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: She gets to the end of this thing and she

283
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: starts looking at the actual questions on there and they're

284
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: more about like do you support Israel or not? Yeah,

285
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: there's nothing she wants to see in those comments.

286
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: So on that front, I wanted to start taking some questions.

287
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: The first question we have is pretty easy, one. What

288
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: are your top priorities? So I will say two one

289
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: Fighting Donald Trump.

290
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Of course, is that The third mention. She goes to

291
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: that well over and over and over again.

292
00:16:54,480 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: That we cannot have unmasked, masked, unlawful, unconstitutional, immoral agents

293
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: in our street. We can't allow Trump to take a

294
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: hatchet to people's health care. We can't allow them to

295
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: attack our university system, our clean air and clean water.

296
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: We have to have that, and I do think that

297
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: all of Democratic candidates in this race really intend to

298
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: do that. I think we would bring our own style

299
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: and our own energy to it, but I think we

300
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: all would do it. I have spoken out about abolishing ice.

301
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: I've been very very clear about that for months now,

302
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: and I think that's an important position that I've taken,

303
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: and maybe in contrast to some of the other top

304
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: Democratic candidates. My other top priority.

305
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Is it, So your first priority is to talk about

306
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: a federal policy that you have no control over.

307
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: Yes, My other top priority is helping Californias afford to

308
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: live here and to thrive here, not just to get by,

309
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: but to really succeed. I've spent my life as a

310
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: consumer protection professor and advocate and I know there's no

311
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: bigger cost for families than the cost of housing.

312
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: And she knows that because she's in subsidized housing. Well,

313
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: doesn't she usually talk about food though? Don't We usually

314
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: get to the grocery store. It's coming, you know, it's coming.

315
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: That subsumes the biggest chunk of.

316
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 3: Families consumes something like that.

317
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: That subsumes the biggest chunk of families budgets. So my

318
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: top priority is making it affordable to live here. To

319
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: do that, you have to tackle the big stuff. So

320
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: bringing down housing costs, which I want to talk more

321
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: with you about here in a minute. Healthcare a really

322
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: big expense for people, college costs, I have a plan

323
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 2: for that, and childcare. These are really big expenses. We

324
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: all go to I grow why I shouldn't say we

325
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: all go to the grocery store.

326
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,359

Speaker 1: Well, find out what Katie got at the grocery store. Next,

342
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: then at the end of that story, he would like

343
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: me to add this drop.

344
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,320

363
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: got stood up with the debate this week and she

364
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: decided that she was going to use her a material

365
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: on Instagram.

366
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 3: Let's get back to Katie Porter on Install Live.

367
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: We all do to igrow white? Shouldn't say we all

368
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: go to the grocery store. Some people don't in this.

369
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: Are you saying Tom Steyer in pushing around of carts

370
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: at Ralph's?

371
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: Can you imagine him at Whole Foods?

372
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: We all do I grow white? Shouldn't say we all

373
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: go to the grocery store. Some people don't in this race.

374
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: But I go to the grocery store, I push your

375
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: shopping cart, I see the prices of everything. Going up.

376
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: Well, she's lightening up right now go back to the

377
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: first part of that statement.

378
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: It sounds like she's chopping carrots again.

379
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: We all doded, I grow white. Shouldn't say we all

380
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: go to the grocery store.

381
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Some people don't in this race, But I think she's

382
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: just smacking her hands.

383
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: That sounded like a knife going through something.

384
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: Sorry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots. We all doded,

385
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: I grow white. Shouldn't say we all go to the

386
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 2: grocery store. Some people don't in this race, but I

387
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: go to the grocery store.

388
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: That was a knee slapper.

389
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 2: Could be I go to the grocery store. I push

390
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 2: your shopping cart. I see the prices of everything going up.

391
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: I just had my kid trying to put a nine

392
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: dollars box of cereal from an Albertson's into my cart.

393
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: How old are your kids?

394
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait

395
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: a minute. So she's saying that when they go to

396
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: the grocery store, they're all sneaking food into the cart.

397
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I just had my kid trying to put

398
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: a nine dollars box of cereal from an Albertson's into

399
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 2: my cart.

400
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: She really likes to use the kids as props.

401
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: She does, and I see that, But I think the

402
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: big stuff, the housing, the childcare, the big costs, that's

403
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: where we can make the biggest difference in helping families

404
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: afford to live.

405
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: Here, what brand of cereal goes for nine bucks a box?

406
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: What is the most expensive brand of cereal typically in

407
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: an Albertson's, Golden Gram's, maybe count Chocula. Let's go to

408
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: Grog and you're gonna type this into your little machine there.

409
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: Find out what is the most expensive cereal? And how

410
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: big of a box of cereal are we talking? Because

411
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: you know those costco boxes. Those are like three bags

412
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: of cereal in one. That might justify the nine dollars costs.

413
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: But who buys those unless you have a family of fifteen,

414
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: because it's gonna.

415
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: Go stale unless you eat it real fast.

416
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: Okay, what is the most expensive box of cereal sold?

417
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: You're still typing at not a secretary at Ralph's in California.

418
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: All right, do your work in grocs. Let's see what

419
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: Elon has to say about all of this.

420
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: Okay, sorry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots.

421
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 3: Okay, she might be right. She might be right.

422
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 1: Okay, according to groc here are the cereals that usually

423
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: rank as the highest priced single boxes at Ralph's. Number

424
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: one Catalina Crunch that is sold for between nine ninety

425
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: nine and eleven ninety nine. I have never heard of

426
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: Catalina Crunch, have you? It's rock Okay. Here's what the

427
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: description is of it. Keto friendly, high protein, often the

428
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: most expensive regular box. There is no way anyone in

429
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: that household put that in the cart.

430
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: I don't think they're buying Catalina Crunch.

431
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: Number two Magic Spoon that's between nine forty nine and

432
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: ten ninety nine. That's also high protein and keto, and

433
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they're buying You can't usually get Magic

434
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: Spoon at the regular grocery store, okay. Number three is

435
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: seven Sundays or purely Elizabeth Granola Cereals, premium granola style cereals.

436
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not getting that one.

437
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: Number four Bear Naked. What apparently there's a cereal called

438
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: bear naked? B e are Naked. It has been a

439
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: long time since I've been down that aisle. What's the

440
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: cartoon on that box? A three hundred and fifty pound

441
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: hairy naked guy. I think it's time to move on.

442
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm focused on as my top priorities.

443
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: All right, next question is about one of my policy

444
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: platforms that I rolled on.

445
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: Here's our next non existent question.

446
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: All right, next question is about one of my policy

447
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: platforms that I rolled out. You can find out more

448
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 2: about them. We have videos about all of them on

449
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 2: our Instagram account, social media accounts and soon to come

450
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: if they're not already up on our web page. The

451
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: question was about how can we afford to provide free

452
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 2: childcare in California? And let me start by making it

453
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: an observation. Two observations.

454
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: One is this just because she doesn't want to watch

455
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: her own kids. This is something that always ends up

456
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 1: in all of her stump speeches. It's like banning corporate

457
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: pack buddy and earmarks.

458
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 2: One is we cannot afford not to make it possible

459
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: for Californians to work. We can't leave twenty eight billion

460
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: dollars a year on the table of economic growth because

461
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: people can't afford childcare. That's what we're losing right now.

462
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: Our competitor nations have all invested in childcare, and our

463
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 2: competitor states places like New Mexico and New York are investing.

464
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: We already invested in childcare in this country.

465
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: Lady. It's called the television. Just put your kids in

466
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: front of it and leave them there for hours.

467
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: Are investing in free childcare because they know that it

468
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: grows our economy. The second observation I want to make

469
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: about child care is it's not something that we do

470
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: just to help parents or just to help kids. It

471
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: helps everybody. Why because a strong growing economy and economy

472
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: that's attracting and retaining its young workers. That is an

473
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: economy that is growing, and so that is really really

474
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: an important and important thing that we need to be doing.

475
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: So Okay, I know this is a qualitative statement, but

476
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it anyway. Maybe if she wouldn't

477
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: have slammed dunk mashed potatoes on dad's head, someone would

478
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: be around the house, So you don't need a babysitter.

479
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: I'm pulling in to the bakery. So how would we

480
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: pay for it? I am a believer that all taxes

481
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: should be progressive.

482
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: Oh here we go, time to bring in more money.

483
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, soak the rid, soak the rich, soak the ridge.

484
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: That means that those who have an earn more should

485
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: pay more. Let me tell you what we have right now.

486
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: She's bringing out the whiteboard. And again, if you see

487
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: the video, because she's on her FaceTime camera, all the

488
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: props that she's putting up you can't read because it's

489
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: all backwards. She's doing a mirror shot.

490
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what we have right now in

491
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: California with regard to the taxes that corporations pay. Right now,

492
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: in California, we have a flat corporate tax. So a

493
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: corporation that makes say one hundred dollars a year in profits,

494
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: they pay eight point eight four percent, and many of

495
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: them pay much less than that.

496
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: In fact, a lot of corporation Notice how now that

497
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: she's talking about corporation, she's getting a little louder. Oh yeah,

498
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: now we're inching closer to the rest voice.

499
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: They pay eight point eight four percent, and many of

500
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: them pay much less than that. In fact, a lot

501
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: of corporations in California, including profitable large ones, pay zero

502
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 2: in California state taxes. That's about closing tax loopholes, which

503
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: I also want to do and I have a track

504
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: record of doing. If a corporation makes a million dollars

505
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: a year. Guess what they pay eight point eight four percent.

506
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Notice how excited she's getting thinking about taking away corporations money.

507
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, you can tell. This is what. This

508
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 3: is what brought her to the party.

509
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: If a corporation makes a million dollars a year, guess

510
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: what they pay eight point eight four percent. For corporation

511
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: makes a billion dollars in profits, You got it, eight

512
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: point eight four percent.

513
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 3: Now the dog's barking. She must be doing this from

514
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: her house.

515
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: She is, and she got so loud talking about the

516
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: tax rate that now the dog woke up.

517
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: You got it. Eight point eight four percent.

518
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Now go feed sparky. What do you think she named

519
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: her dog old yeller. No, that's not she's not Christy Nome.

520
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: Now that's not how your taxes work. If you make

521
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: more in a year and you trip up into a

522
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: new tax bracket, you have to pay a little bit more.

523
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: That's what a progressive tax is. And we should do

524
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: the same thing with corporations. So saying to corporations in

525
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: your most profitable lie.

526
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: Surprise, she hasn't acknowledged the dog. Don't mind that. That's

527
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: just my pitbull mauling the mail well, she has learned

528
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: the hard way that she should not react to anything

529
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: outside of her performance. Out of my shot, because if

530
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: she screams at the dog, it's over. Eight hundred two

531
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: two two five two two two is a telephone number?

532
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: What eight hundred two two two five two two two,

533
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: Royal Oaks. ABC News legal analysts coming up after the

534
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: news at two, and Seneca Scott joins us after that,

535
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: you cannot contain yourself. What are you gonna do if

536
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: she drops out? Well, she's not gonna drop out, she's

537
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: gonna lose, but god willing profitable yet, we're going back

538
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: to Katie Porter on her live instaf Profitable year. Please,

539
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: that dog is still barking. Well, she keeps getting louder.

540
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: Can you blame the dog?

541
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: Profitable year? Please?

542
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Do they put the dog outside because they knew that

543
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: would bark When she starts yelling, I'm sure.

544
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: Profitable year, please not please. In your most profitable year,

545
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to pay a little bit more tax.

546
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: And that's how taxes, income taxes work for us, that's

547
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: how taxes should work for corporations. So we're not targeting

548
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: big business, we're not targeting little business. We're saying, in

549
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: your most profitable year, you're gonna afford to pay a

550
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: little more taxes. This would and say we took it

551
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: from eight point eight four to nine and a half

552
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: or eight point eight four to ten for the top

553
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: most profitable corporations. Those are not very big changes.

554
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do with all that money. Probably give

555
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: it to the Somalis. I don't know.

556
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: Those are not very big changes. We're not talking about this.

557
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 2: We're talking about a little bit of tax change that

558
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: would generate a lot of the money that we need.

559
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: It is fascinating how many people that are running for

560
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: governor are honestly campaigning on the platform in California of

561
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: raising taxes because Katie wants to raise the corporate tax right,

562
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: Tom Steyer says, the first thing he would do as

563
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: governor is hold a special election to gut Prop thirteen.

564
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: Why do these people think that these businesses are moving

565
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: out of state? Why do they think we're going to

566
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: lose between three and five congressional districts. Why do they

567
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: think a trillion dollars of wealth has moved out of state?

568
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: And they go, well, it's just a little bit. How

569
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: many taxes are on the ballot this year, so many taxes,

570
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: so many bonds, we can't even count at this point.

571
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: And then they all go, well, it's just a little bit,

572
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: so what's your problem. Well, if you pass them all,

573
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: then a little bit becomes a lot, and you're in

574
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: competition with forty nine other states. They're not doing this

575
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: in Texas, they're not doing this in Florida. So it's

576
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: easy for these companies to justify the decision to move

577
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: out of California to a more business friendly state.

578
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: That would generate a lot of the money that we

579
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: need to pay for free childcare, would easily generate the

580
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: money we need to provide a pathway.

581
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: You know what, if I had the money for free childcare,

582
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pay for it. Raise your own damn.

583
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: Kids to provide a pathway a free college tuition for

584
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: every Californian.

585
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: And so we already give away free college. It's just

586
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: a community college with all those ghost students. California. Let

587
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: me tell you there's a lot of things that this

588
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: state doesn't do right. There are certain things we actually

589
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: do a pretty good job at, and one of them

590
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: is higher education. The California community college system is very

591
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: good California State University is very good. The University of

592
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: California is very good. It's an excellent education, and it's cheap.

593
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Don't tinker with it because you will ruin it. When

594
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: I went to California State University at Fullerton as an

595
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:05,959
Speaker 1: undergraduish there was eighteen hundred dollars this semester and I

596
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: received an excellent education. You go to other states, it's

597
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: a lot more expensive than that. Keep it the way

598
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: it is. It's affordable. I'm sure it's gone up a

599
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: lot since then, but in those dollars, it's probably similar

600
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: to whatever it is that we're charging now. That is

601
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: an excellent value. You can take out loans if you

602
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: don't have the money, you can work and pay it

603
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: off that way.

604
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: If that's what you want to.

605
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: Do, don't kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

606
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: And so that is what I'm proposing to do. It's

607
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: something that some other states have done. And the great

608
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: thing about this tax proposal is it's on the taxes

609
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: on profits. So if a corporation sells a lot of

610
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: widgets in the ear and takes.

611
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 3: In a lot of widgets, don't you have any widgets

612
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: at home?

613
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 2: They have a choice to what to do with that money.

614
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: They could pay their employees more. Yes, they could invest

615
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: in their business and grow it. Yes, they could bested

616
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: in research and development.

617
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: So you know, now you're just incentivizing the companies to

618
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: do stock buybacks so that don't have to pay your tax.

619
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: She is someone who has worked for a university and

620
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: has no clue how the actual world works.

621
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: They could bested in research and development. Great, or they

622
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 2: can take it as profits, pay their shareholders, pay their executives,

623
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 2: and pay more California tax. All right, next question.

624
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: She got so amped up with that. Let's go to

625
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 3: Rocko in Santa Clarita.

626
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 4: Rocko, Hello, Hey, John, Hello, thank you, thank you for

627
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 4: taking my call. I really have a problem with taxing

628
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 4: when you make more money and not giving you money

629
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 4: back when you lose money, like on anything on a

630
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 4: business that you have on stock, they tax the heck

631
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: out of you. If you may say one hundred thousand

632
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 4: dollars in a year on stock, still tax the heck

633
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: out of you next year when you lose two hundred thousand.

634
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: They don't come in and say, hey, we're going to

635
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 4: give you some money back, because you know you paid

636
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 4: it last year and you lost this time.

637
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's a one way street with them.

638
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 5: Yes, and that is the worst thing in the world.

639
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 5: And I don't know what to do about it. I mean,

640
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 5: I complain about it, voast them out. But what do

641
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 5: you think.

642
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing's going to change in this state until people

643
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 1: start voting differently and if the people of California elect

644
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: this woman to be governor. If you think it can't

645
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: get worse, guess what it can. Thank you for the call, sir,
