They're not claiming 173 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: that the city is making things easy on them, and 174 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: it's the California Department of Insurance that's the hull dub. 175 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: They say, no one's doing what they're supposed to be 176 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: doing and that's what's leading to the nightmare. 177 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: How about the LAFD sending bills to burned out lots 178 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: to clear out their brush. 179 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 4: That resulted in a phone call to the White House. 180 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 5: And so I appealed to the President, only you could 181 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 5: bring together these two INDs. 182 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: There's a rumor that her communications person that quit because 183 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 2: she called the White House. 184 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Well, she's gone through a bunch of staffers recently, hasn't. 185 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: She, including her deputy mayor of public Safety that had 186 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: to go on leave and then eventually be replaced for 187 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: calling in a bomb threat. 188 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we can't forget him. 189 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 5: And so I appealed to the president, only you could 190 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 5: bring together these two industries in your oval office and 191 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 5: tell them to pay people what they deserve and to 192 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 5: extend forbearans for three years. The other thing is is 193 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 5: that we need our FEMA RINA. 194 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: By the way, that's not a really confident sign that 195 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: we need to extend people not being able to pay 196 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 2: their mortgages in the Palisades for three years because they're 197 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: not going and their homes built for at least three years. 198 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: No, in fact, who was it. We had someone on 199 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: who said that it would be five years. 200 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 5: The other thing is is that we need our FEMA reimbursement. 201 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 5: We want to underground the utilities and the Palisades, we 202 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 5: don't have the resources to do that. 203 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 4: And a recent Emerson College I don't. 204 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: Know, I just saw my DWP bill. 205 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: Okay, so that is a worthy thing. Putting the power 206 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: lines underground is great. It makes your neighborhood look better, 207 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't block your view, it reduces the fire risk. 208 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: But that's not what caused this fire. Maybe if you're 209 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: dealing with oh, I don't know, alta Dina, you could 210 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: talk about the electric company. This was an arsonist who 211 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: started a fire, and a fire that wasn't fully extinguished 212 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: because the city and the state couldn't figure out how 213 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: to let the LAFD do their job. 214 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 4: And a recent Emerson College. Inside California Politics poll, over 215 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 4: fifty percent of LA were undecided if Bass should have 216 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 4: a second term. 217 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: That's pretty damning for an incumbent. It's beyond that, it's embarrassing. 218 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: It should tell you that you need to get out 219 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: of the race. And I would love to know what 220 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: went on at team Caruso when they looked at these 221 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: numbers and decided that he would take a pass on 222 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: the race. Because if you've ever wanted to be an 223 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 2: elected official in the state of California and you're Rick Caruso, 224 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: this is your chance. You know who, must love that 225 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: pall our former mayor just be smart and stay apart 226 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: those rose colored glasses that are making the Garcetti ears 227 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: look pretty good by comparison. 228 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: Well with the exception of Dick Reard and everyone who 229 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: takes that job goes through the meat grinder. 230 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 4: Her job approval at an ANEMA twenty four percent. 231 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: That's so bad. 232 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 4: Her job at. 233 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 2: Least it shows that even in Los Angeles, where the 234 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: voters don't pay attention at all, they don't like what 235 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: they're seeing. 236 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: Well, the problem is they understand that she's a failure. 237 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, Democrats in California in particular, are 238 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: extremely tolerant of bad government, and the question becomes, will 239 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: they vote for her again? If the election were today, 240 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: She'd make the November ballot, and then they would have 241 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: the choice as to whether or not they wanted it 242 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: to be her or Spencer Pratt, or whoever it is 243 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: it makes the second slot to be mayor of Los 244 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: Angeles for the next four years. I am not so 245 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: sure they would vote for him over her if given 246 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: the opportunity. 247 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 4: Her job approval at an anemic twenty four percent. 248 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 5: I think that the electorate is in a very foul mood. 249 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: But I wonder why. Yeah, that tends to happen when 250 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: you burn down their homes. 251 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 5: But what I'm confident in I feel very good about 252 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 5: my ability to bring various parts of the city together 253 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 5: and coalitions doing the grassroots work. 254 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 2: Let's ask Lindsay Horvath about your locking arms. She'd been 255 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: really mean girling her lately. 256 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,359 Speaker 5: Doing the grassroots work, building support in the business community, 257 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 5: the Democratic Party, labor and community organizations. 258 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 2: See this is how Los Angeles politics work. Voter participation 259 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: is so minimal if you get the unions behind you 260 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: by doing everything they want, including giving out contracts that 261 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 2: the city could not afford, and it's partially why we're 262 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: in a deficit. Well, that's enough people voting for you 263 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: that you'll go over the threshold, because the vast majority 264 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: of people in this city do not vote in local elections. 265 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: Well, and keep in mind also that just because people 266 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: disapprove of her job doesn't mean they disapprove for the 267 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: same reasons. You could have people who are upset at 268 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: what the city did regards aready, the fires, or homelessness 269 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: or whatever. And then you have a whole different group 270 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: of people who are upset at her for not being 271 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: destructive enough. That's the Nythia crowd. 272 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 5: The Democratic Party, labor and community organizations. You've known me 273 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 5: for a long time, you know that's what I have 274 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 5: always done and will continue to do. 275 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 4: Mayor Bass called her conversation with President Trump constructive, as 276 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 4: was her working with the EPA director Lee Zelden, who 277 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 4: was a colleague of hers in Congress, the two having 278 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 4: worked together on a bipartisan police reform bill years ago. So, 279 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 4: but the pulling huver is not good if you're running 280 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: for reelection. But she's still up nine points from Nythia Rahman, 281 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 4: a member of the City Council and the reality show 282 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 4: Spencer Pratt. 283 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: Yes, Conan never watched The Hills. No, but isn't Spencer 284 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: Pratt doing better than Nythia? 285 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: Yes, it's Spencer Pratt at ten point nine percent and 286 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: it's Nitthi at like nine point eight percent. 287 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: Okay, why do they always mention her first? He's doing 288 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: better than her, He's coming in second place. Shouldn't he 289 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: be mentioned before her? 290 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: I honestly think Conan couldn't remember his name. 291 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: But this isn't the first time I've seen that happen. 292 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: I forget which channel I was watching, but I was 293 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: watching another channel and they did the same thing when 294 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: they were going over the pole results. Well, maybe some 295 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: organizations are not taking that campaign seriously. Such a breath. 296 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 4: Yes, still up and so she's confident. 297 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: Who knows? 298 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 4: We still have a few months left. 299 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: Codin, you obviously covered a lot of ground with the 300 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 3: mayor today. Does she have any concern about the fact 301 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: that Iran pulled out today of the World Cup? There 302 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: was supposed to be two games. 303 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: She dropped it again, Colleen? 304 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 3: Of the World Cup? 305 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: How long ago did Chuck retire? And Fred and Fritz. 306 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: I think they've been gone a while. 307 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: She's just hanging on. 308 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 5: Of the World Cup. 309 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: There was supposed to be two games played here in town. 310 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 4: Right right, very well. She was upset about it because 311 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: we obviously have the largest Iranian Persian American community in 312 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 4: the nation. 313 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: And of the eight games that were supposed to be 314 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: played in the World Cup, two of them have already 315 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: been canceled because of the war. 316 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 4: That's one of the reasons those games were scheduled for here. 317 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 4: She's very attuned, she says, to the fact that there 318 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 4: are safety and security issues related to it. Interesting thing 319 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 4: she told me is that normally, as mayor, she gets 320 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 4: a federal safety briefing, that is and sort of an 321 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 4: intelligence briefing. That stopped when President Trump came into office. 322 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 4: Apparently they fired the people that normally did that, so 323 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 4: she and the mayor of New York and the mayor 324 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 4: of Chicago was sort of out of the loop when 325 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: it comes to those kind of things. But she's clear 326 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 4: that she believes this is going to be a safe 327 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 4: World Cup. 328 00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: Define safe, because if she considers it to be safe 329 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: the same way she considers the Metro to be safe, 330 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna have some problems. 331 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 6: Uh. 332 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 4: The Olympics two years away. Still got a lot of concerns. 333 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 4: One of the concerns they don't have you know, they 334 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 4: don't have the money to hire more police LAPD. She 335 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 4: wants to increase the number of officers. That's still a challenge. 336 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 3: All right, Coda, thank you, my pleasure. 337 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: There you go.

That being said, other 365 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: candidates who are polling underneath them are still within strike distance, 366 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 1: and you have different polls that show different results. Another 367 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: poll showed that if the election were today, the November 368 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: election would pit Steve Hilton up against billionaire and Viro 369 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: sugar daddy Tom Steyer. Certainly that's the result that Tom 370 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: Styer wants, and Randy he's willing to spend whatever it 371 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: takes to get it. 372 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 2: And he's running so many ads that it is really 373 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: starting to piss some people off. But other people are like, well, 374 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: now I got to see what this guy's about, because 375 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: he is occupying my television space all day long for 376 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: mar on the Stiers spending spree. There's some alliteration for you. 377 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: Here is kpix in the Bay. 378 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 7: All new polling on the crowded race to represent California 379 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 7: as governor. As two survey show a lot of voters 380 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 7: have yet to well actually make up their mind. We're 381 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 7: here in San Francisco. Candidates are making the rounds trying 382 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 7: to win over on the side of voters. More than 383 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 7: that in just a minute, but first let's give you 384 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 7: a look at those numbers. The latest Emerson College poll 385 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 7: shows East Made Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell was seventeen percent. 386 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 7: Two Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco were just behind him, 387 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 7: followed by Democrats Tom Steyer and Katie Porter. 388 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 2: Katie got a shout out, not the shout out she wanted. 389 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: She wants to be in the top two. 390 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: I don't even think you got that many. 391 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 7: And UC Berkeley and Political poll found Hilton, a Republican, 392 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 7: leading with nineteen percent. Stier received thirteen percent, with Swallwell, 393 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 7: Katie Porter Bianco and at eleven percent. But more importantly 394 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 7: to note unders how is. 395 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: She's in a three way with Swallwell and Bianco. Oh god, 396 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: don't ever use those words again. 397 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 2: A three way tie. 398 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: I think I need to just put some bleach on 399 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: my brain right now. 400 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 7: Chicking dinner. 401 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: She's just polling the same as the other candidates. I 402 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: don't see what is going on in your brain. But 403 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: I had a very innocent comment there. What did Joe 404 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 2: Biden do to forget everything he ever learned? He got old. 405 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 7: Fianco and at eleven percent. But more importantly to note 406 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 7: on this side of voters make up a large percentage 407 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 7: in both of those polls, and Time Stier, who is a. 408 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 2: Still three months out from the primary, two months out 409 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: from the ballots going into the mail, the majority of 410 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: voters have no idea who any of these people are. 411 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: It shows you how big and how expensive California is, 412 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: because if we were living in North Dakota, we'd know 413 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: who all of these people were. 414 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 7: And Time Styer, who is a billionaire, has tried to 415 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 7: make a name for himself with a blitz of television commercials. 416 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 7: Lauren Tom spoke to the Bay Area of voters who 417 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 7: recently came out to meet that man behind those ads. 418 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 2: You know, Tom Steyer likes to say that he made 419 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 2: a pitch that he was going to give the majority 420 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 2: of his money away before he dies. What you didn't 421 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: know was he was going to give the majority of 422 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 2: his money away to political consultants and advertising agencies. 423 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: And oh boy, are they happy about that. 424 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 8: There's one candidate in California's race for governor who's been 425 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 8: hard to miss, Tom Steyer. 426 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: I'm Tom Steyer, and I'm money for governor. 427 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: Oh that voice, super Dave Osborne. I'm telling you, he's 428 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: super Dave was funny. Yeah, this guy's just an a hole. 429 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 8: He's spent millions on a TV ad campaign that voters 430 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 8: like Laura Wherlin say feels nearly constant after. 431 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 9: Seeing all of the ads that Tom Steyer has been doing, which, frankly, 432 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 9: I'm so tired of that. 433 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: I you remember who the last one was to do this. 434 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: That was Meg Whitman. I remember one time driving to 435 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: Las Vegas and I think I think I was in 436 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: Baker or someplace in the middle of nowhere. Where it 437 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: looks like you're on the surface of the moon, and 438 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: the only thing that I could get on the radio 439 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: was mariachi music and Meg Whitman ads. 440 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 2: Political advertising not only can have diminishing returns, but the 441 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: frequency of the ad buys can actually actively turn people off, 442 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 2: which is why my theory currently is that we're seeing 443 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 2: a lot more support for that billionaire at tax because 444 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 2: people want to take away tom Steyer's money. 445 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 9: Could be after seeing all of the ads that Tom 446 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 9: Steyer has been doing, which frankly, I'm so tired of that. 447 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 9: I you know, kind of turn them off sometimes when 448 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 9: they come on. But it was enough to get through 449 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 9: to me that I wanted to hear from the. 450 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: That's a great focus group. What is your first reaction 451 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: when you see a Tom Steyer ad? 452 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: Click okay, but then she goes but I want to 453 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: hear more information. 454 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: I guess the advertising works. 455 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 9: It was enough to get through to me that I 456 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 9: wanted to hear from the you know, from him directly. 457 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 8: So when he came to San Francisco this week for 458 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 8: an intimate town hall series with the candidates for governor 459 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 8: at Manny's, she showed up not to watch another commercial, 460 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 8: but to see the person behind them. 461 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 9: I found what I saw in the ads, and I 462 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 9: found something sort of ads plus. 463 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 5: And the ads plus. 464 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 9: Part is that I really believe that he does walk 465 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 9: his talk, which I kind of got before. 466 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 8: But this confirmed that Stuyer's self funded campaign has spent 467 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 8: nearly thirty million dollars so far. 468 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: You see, though, this is why they do it. She 469 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: started out complaining about the frequency of the ads, and 470 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: now she's going to be a Tom Styer supporter. 471 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 8: Oh boy, including a massive ad buy that has made 472 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 8: him one of the most visible candidates in the race. 473 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 8: His spending dwarf so other campaigns, including Katie Porter, Eric swas. 474 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: Hey, Katie got another shout out. 475 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: Again, not the kind that she wanted. 476 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 8: His spending dwarf souther campaigns including Katie Porter, Eric Swalwell, 477 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 8: and Matt Mayhan with I don't know. 478 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 2: If Katie's doing any TV buys.

He 553 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: sounded like a robot. 554 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 4: Working people in this state had been screwed for at 555 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 4: least forty five years.

Voters will send the 584 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 7: top two to the general election in November, regardless of 585 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 7: party affiliation, and that has Democratic Party leaders worried about 586 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 7: the possibility that two Republicans winning the top two spots. 587 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: The state that is seeming less likely every day, so 588 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 2: don't get your hopes up, kids. 589 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on right now is that Steve Hilton 590 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: is excelling and Chad Bianco is floundering. And if Chad 591 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 1: Bianco doesn't kick it in the high gear, you're going 592 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: to end up with Hilton and a Democrat, which means 593 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: you're going to end up with a Democrat elected governor. 594 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: By the way, I just saw that apparently Bianco didn't 595 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: show up to get another one. 596 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,959 Speaker 2: What is he busy doing? 597 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. Hilton was tweeting about it. 598 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 7: The state party chair has called on Democrats who are 599 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 7: toward the bottom of the polls to actually drop out. 600 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 7: He says they will release those tracking polls every week 601 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 7: or so to make sure candidates and voters know where 602 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 7: that race now stands. 603 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 6: There's been plenty of polls before. I think it made 604 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 6: sense to do this at this particular point in time 605 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 6: to ensure that we all had a clear picture as 606 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 6: to what the current state of the race is, especially 607 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 6: at a time when candidates are expending resources and connected. 608 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: They're going to start putting out all these weekly polls. 609 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: Betty Ye, you're still at one percent, Betty Ye, you're 610 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 2: still at one percent, give that one percent to Swalwell place. Well, 611 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: if they're at one percent and Swallwell is moving up 612 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 2: in the polls, their support is already moving to him, 613 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 2: because she was what five percent in a recent poll, 614 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 2: and now she's at one percent. She made five percent. 615 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 2: She did a really interesting showing at the convention where 616 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 2: she got second place behind Swalwell, but I don't think 617 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 2: she's ever polled higher than five percent. And the most 618 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: recent polls her and Tony Thurman, who have been the 619 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 2: King candidates who have been running the longest, are at 620 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 2: between one and two percent every single time, So. 621 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: That means their support is already collapsing and it's all 622 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: going to the same place. YEP eight hundred two two 623 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: two five two two two is a telephone number one 624 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: eight hundred two two two five two two two.
