It's almost exclusively romanticy. And 118 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 3: there are hundreds and hundreds of books by a whole 119 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: bunch of authors, all depicting like the best fantasy porn 120 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 3: you can imagine. 121 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: Okay, so when the ladies, I assume it's going to 122 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: be mostly ladies, sit around their computers on zoom and 123 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: talk about these things, how filthy is the conversation. 124 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: The conversation will get pretty filthy. Let me just say 125 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: I have heard my wife while she is getting ready 126 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 3: for the day, turn the book from reading to audiobook 127 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: and the things that the usually British narrator has to 128 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: read are too explicit for the radio. 129 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: Oh dear well, I don't think she's going to go 130 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: in that direction because that doesn't help her run for 131 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: office in the future. That just puts her in some 132 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: sort of really niche pornographic corner. 133 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: I'm telling you that's if you want to be on 134 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: Books to Graham and you want to be on book Talk, 135 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: it's all romanticy all the time. 136 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: Maybe it's going to be historical novels, or maybe maybe 137 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: she's going to go in the direction of Gavin Newsom. 138 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: When Gavin first started the podcast. He included people who 139 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: disagree with him politically. He had Charlie kirkh on, he 140 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: had Steve Bannon on, he had Michael savagehn. So, who knows. 141 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: Maybe she's going to start with something that Sean Hannity wrote. 142 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: I don't think she's going down that road. That's not 143 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: going to get her any kind of vibes on the 144 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: Gram or the Talk. 145 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: Now, Randy. She's also been spending a lot of time 146 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: talking about why she lost the race for governor. 147 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 3: Katie Porter did her first sit down interview since losing 148 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: the primary for governor. She come in fifth place or 149 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: sixth place. I think she came in fifth place and 150 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 3: Mayhen came in sixth place. 151 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: She ended up with something like four percent. 152 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: I think she got may Hen got four percent. Oh, 153 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 3: how the billionaire has been on the wrong horse on 154 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: that one.

There's only twenty four hours now. 194 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 3: I do have to be careful here because there are 195 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 3: a lot of comments coming in about Katie Porter. But 196 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 3: I can only put so many on the screen. We 197 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: do have a certain line that we're trying not to 198 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: cross here. But Bridget writes in, Hey, Randy, all of 199 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: Katie's books are going to be about carrots and potatoes. 200 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 5: Sorry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots. 201 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: What is she a farmer? She was raised by one. 202 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 7: Cleaning out period when you look in, I mean, I 203 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 7: guess let's think about the governor's race. 204 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 2: Right. 205 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 7: So, last time you and I spoke was at this 206 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 7: National Union of Healthcare Workers forum. You wound up getting endorsement. 207 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 7: By the way, this is a forum where it did 208 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 7: feel on that stage. I have to say, and I 209 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 7: can say this now, I was asking questions and moderating, 210 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 7: but you felt like the strongest candidate of the bunch, 211 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 7: and the Poles were backing. 212 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: So he thinks javierbisserras stupid too. 213 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: Well, his eyes are open, aren't they scrub it up? 214 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 7: And then things happened. What do you think happened? What 215 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 7: happened with your candidacy campaign? 216 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 5: I mean, I think there were a number of factors 217 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 5: in this race. Some of them were about me, but 218 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 5: some of them were about other candidates. At the time 219 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 5: that we had that forum, I don't believe Tom Steyer 220 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 5: and Eric Swalwell weren't even in the race. 221 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: I don't think it was a much more boring race 222 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: back then. 223 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well, Swalwell kind of spiced things up, so 224 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: we had. 225 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 5: People come in, we had people exit the turmoil caused 226 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 5: by Eric Swalwell and the accusations against him. 227 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 6: So I think you always have to realize it. 228 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 3: That's an interesting thought. Point. Well, the reason I started 229 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 3: sinking in the polls was because Eric Swalwell was revealed 230 00:12:53,559 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 3: to be a rapist. What okay, Well, I mean sometimes 231 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: it works that way. That guy in Pennsylvania shot Trump 232 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 3: but killed Biden. 233 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 6: The race. 234 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 5: Some of it is about you, about your decisions, and 235 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 5: you have to own those, but some of it is 236 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 5: also about the zeitgeist in the moment. It's about what 237 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 5: else is going on in the worlds. 238 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, there's a lot to talk about it, 239 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 7: and we can say. 240 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,239 Speaker 2: Okay, let's pause here for a second, because yes, Eric Swalwell, 241 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: who was once the front runner in the race, dropping 242 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: out after he was accused of sexual assault, certainly was 243 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: an earthquake in this race. But let's not forget the 244 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 2: only reason that she was polling as well as she 245 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: was was because everyone expected that Kamala Harris would get in, 246 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: and then she decided not to run at the last minute. 247 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: And then everyone expected Alex Padilla to jump in, and 248 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: then he decided not to run. So there was a 249 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 2: moment in time where she was polling well, But that's 250 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: because the big dogs caused all of the other potentially 251 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: viable candidates like Bob Bonta stay on the sidelines and 252 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: then ultimately decided not to get in. But the moment, 253 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: a viable democrat without all the baggage that she has 254 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: got in the race, it was gonna be over for her. 255 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 3: The chat has started to fill up with people guessing 256 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 3: what was in Katie Porter's garage. We're living it to 257 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: three things that you think was in Katie Porter's garage? 258 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: Listener Mark writes in sex, toys, knives and potatoes. 259 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: Oh my, Jeff, God a hat trick. 260 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: Jeff writes in full of empty wine bottles and empty 261 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: Amazon boxes.

She claims 284 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: that all of these stories about her being temperamental and 285 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: abusive are sexist, when the reality is that people realized 286 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: that she was of low character because of how she 287 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: treats those below her.

Well, I guess the management award 342 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 3: you're given to in Congress if you're not assaulting your staffs. 343 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 6: Some of that got. 344 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 5: Lost, But I think California wanted an idea of a 345 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 5: very experienced, steady hand decades the same policies. 346 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 3: And I think what's in steady hand is that how 347 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 3: we're describing Besarah scrub It. 348 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 2: He was the one that did no preparation before the 349 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 2: meetings when he was part of the Biden administration, and 350 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: no preparation before the debates. 351 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 5: Interesting about this race is how do you reconcile Javier 352 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 5: Besara's victory, which I congratulate him on very very much. 353 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 3: How do you congratulate I can see it in her face. 354 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: She does not congratulate that at all. 355 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 2: She is so passive aggressive about this. 356 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 3: I can see it in the eyes. I can see 357 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,479 Speaker 3: it in the mouth. She is not happy about this. 358 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: And none of them are. All of them. You know, 359 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 3: there were so many people running. A lot of them expected, Okay, 360 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 3: it probably won't be me, but too go through an 361 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 3: entire career in government, to spend some of these people 362 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: spent a year plus campaigning, and to realize that this 363 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 3: dumbass is the front runner. Scrub It has got to 364 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 3: really hurt. 365 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, losing this race is going to eat it her, 366 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: and eat it her and eat it her until it 367 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: kills someone who works for her. The only person more 368 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 2: bitter about this race is Chad Bianco, who still has 369 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: an endorsed Steve Milton. 370 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to ask Hilton about that. 371 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 5: Have you harmonized Javier's victory, which is like steady hand experienced, 372 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 5: not exciting. He says this about himself with kind of 373 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 5: what we're seeing in other parts around the country, which is, 374 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 5: let's really shake things up. 375 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 6: The democratic establishment needs to change. 376 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, and there's so much suff about where the demopar 377 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 7: Party goes from here. But you did bring up something 378 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 7: about this word temperament, which feels loaded and feels gendered 379 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 7: in some ways, at least with the way that we 380 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 7: often hear. 381 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: Okay, that is so stupid. This may be before your time, Randy, 382 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 2: But there was a guy, and for those of you 383 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: in the Bay Area you'll know what I'm talking about here, 384 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: those of you who are interested in local politics, there 385 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: was a guy whose dad was the mayor of San 386 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 2: Francisco a million years ago, a guy by the name 387 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: of Jack Shelley, and the son, Kevin Shelley, became an assemblyman, 388 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: and then he moved up through the rinks. He became 389 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 2: I think it was Secretary of State, and many people 390 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 2: thought that he would be governor at some point. This 391 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 2: was back during the Great Davis days, and there was 392 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 2: story after story after story about him being abusive to 393 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 2: his staff. I think at one point he threw a 394 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 2: telephone at one of them. He was known for using 395 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: really aggressive, salty language, and he just got hit with 396 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: negative story after negative story, and it got to the 397 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: point where everyone understood that this guy was an abusive ahole. 398 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: And after that became understood, his brand became toxic, and 399 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: a guy who worked his way up to a statewide 400 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 2: constitutional office and the sky was the limit ended up 401 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 2: becoming an unelectable pariah. And it wasn't because of his gender. 402 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 2: It had nothing to do with his biological sex. It 403 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,959 Speaker 2: had everything to do with how he treated other people. 404 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: If you are an abusive person and you don't treat 405 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 2: people well and you aren't nice, at a certain point 406 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: people pick up on that. And once people pick up 407 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 2: on that, they determine that you're not a good person. 408 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 2: And what happened to Katie Porter was that she kept 409 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 2: showing us who she was over and over and over again, 410 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 2: and the voters just decided that she was not a 411 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: nice woman. 412 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 6: You're out of my shop. 413 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 3: What would make people think that? 414 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 6: Use it? 415 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 7: Do you feel there was a double standard about attitude 416 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 7: and the way you're showing up predispositionally. 417 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 5: I mean, voters have legitimate rights to ask questions and 418 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 5: to have concerns. I do think that I was asked 419 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 5: about that probably more. 420 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: Do you think this is the kind of Katie that 421 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 3: we're gonna get and booked to Graham? Or is she 422 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: gonna be the rip roar and pissed off talking like 423 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 3: a sailor Katie winter winter chicken dinner. 424 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's going to be determined by whether 425 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: or not she's had half a box of wine or 426 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 2: a full box of wine. 427 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 5: Then any other candidate, all the candidates put together, were 428 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 5: asked about their concerns. 429 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 7: You know, So if there was another if there was 430 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 7: some kind of like leaked footage about of somebody which 431 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 7: which happened with you speaking to one a staffer in 432 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 7: a way that your tone was raised and people thought 433 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 7: was unnecessarily confrontational. 434 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 3: That's a very very very very way nice way to 435 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 3: whitewash this. 436 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 5: Get out of my shot. 437 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, she cursed up young girl out. 438 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 7: Do you feel like if it was a male candidate 439 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 7: it wouldn't have received as much. 440 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 5: I can't say, because I've never been a male candidate. 441 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 5: I can't put myself there. I will just say that 442 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 5: we have seen other candidates have other female candidates have 443 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 5: concerns about temperament. 444 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 3: And so I don't think anyone was asking Bettye about 445 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 3: our temperament. 446 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: No. No, when there are concerns, it's because they did 447 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 2: something outrageous. Amy Klobuchar is a perfect example. There are 448 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: a number of stories about her being abusive to people 449 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: who work for her, so therefore she has that reputation. 450 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: But the reason that she has that reputation are the stories, 451 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 2: not the gender. 452 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 5: Look, it's on me to satisfy Californians. 453 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 3: I'm not using that as a drop. Not gonna do it. 454 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: We'd get to twenty five hundred subscribers today. 455 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 5: Why do you have to watch porn in the living room? 456 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 6: I couldn't find a pathway to do it. 457 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 3: But she just couldn't satisfy us stop. 458 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 5: I think it dominated the race in a way that 459 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 5: took away from the policy discussion. So I know you 460 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 5: said that they at the start here that the race 461 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 5: was about affordability, but I'm not so sure it was 462 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 5: about affordability. 463 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 6: I think that is. 464 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,959 Speaker 3: I think it ended up becoming about Tom Steyer's money. 465 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 2: Well, it became Javier Bessris the last man standing. The 466 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 2: Democratic Party did not want Katie Porter and they did 467 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: not want Tom Steyer. That was true at the beginning 468 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 2: of the race. That was true at the end of 469 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 2: the race. They wanted Kamala, and when they couldn't get Kamala, 470 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 2: they wanted our US Senator Alex Padilla. And then when 471 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: he passed, I think they wanted Bonta to get in 472 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: the race, and then he didn't do it, and then 473 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 2: they settled on Swallowell, and then we found out who 474 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 2: he was, and then Biserah was last man standing. This 475 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 2: was the twenty twenty Democratic primary for president all over again. 476 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: Joe Biden didn't win that everyone else just managed to lose. 477 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 3: Tom Steyr was in that too. 478 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: I'm Tom Steyer. I never about to ride the d. 479 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 5: It's the number one issue that Californians say they care about. 480 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 6: But I'm not sure. 481 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: By the way that Tom Steyer drop that you just played? Yes, 482 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 2: does it sound like it could be Tom Styr if 483 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: he joined the cast of Jackass. 484 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: Little I'm Tom Steyer. I never about to ride the DWN. 485 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 3: It does? 486 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 2: It's? 487 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 3: Uh, all right, someone who's better than me at AI 488 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: take that video of Tom Steyer and make him look 489 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 3: like Johnny Knoxville getting into a porta potty. 490 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 6: Voted. 491 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 5: They really decided based on who has the policies to 492 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 5: bring down my cost of lipic. I'm not sure that's 493 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 5: how they made their decisions. 494 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 7: Well, affordability was a big part of the debates and 495 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 7: perhaps not how people voted, But that brings up a 496 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 7: big question, how do we make California more affordable? And 497 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 7: you're going to be asked this question as someone who 498 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 7: understands to say it. 499 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 6: What's your answering? Yeah, Well, so. 500 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 5: This is actually the rare situation where we actually can 501 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 5: say Congress did something, and we can't say that very 502 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 5: often in California. Our legislature is so active. They're always 503 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 5: passing bills, they're doing things. Last week, Congress passed a 504 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 5: big or a couple weeks ago and Trump it became law, 505 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 5: a big housing bill and that is really really helpful 506 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 5: to California. We've been trying to think about housing affordability, 507 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 5: but without that federal partnership, it's going to be hard 508 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 5: to do. So I think that's a big important change. 509 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 7: It's interesting thing about housing. Obviously, many candidates have said 510 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 7: that if housing is an issue in making life unaffordable 511 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 7: in California. 512 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 6: This supply side. Yimbi, let's make stuff. 513 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 7: Let's make houses. 514 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 3: I mean Besarah was the candidate and said, well, we're 515 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 3: just going to build more. We're just going to do it. 516 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: And then once you build those houses, to make sure 517 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: they're attractive looking, you have to scrub them. Scrub it. 518 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 7: Some folks, even liberals and progressive I said, well, that's 519 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 7: like there's a core trickle down in that, and really 520 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 7: so much of California and these urban airs renters. We 521 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 7: see this with the DSA movement. 522 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 6: They're pro rent. 523 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 3: This is a very DSA channel. So there's gonna be 524 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: DSA vibes in this interview. Oh, all of the framing 525 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 3: is for a DSA audience. 526 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 7: Y'reing mobilizing around that front. Why isn't there more of 527 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 7: a conversation around rent and immediate relief on that front 528 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 7: on a California level. 529 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 6: Yeah. So look though. 530 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 3: Oh and the DSA hates her, by the way, because 531 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 3: she said she doesn't believe in rent control. 532 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 2: Uh. 533 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 5: Oh, way to bring down housing costs is. 534 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 6: To make it cheaper to build. Yeah, okay, period. 535 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 5: So yes, if you have more supply, at least in 536 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 5: economic theory, if you had more housing, that would drive 537 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 5: down price. 538 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 3: But that's I will say it is a theory because 539 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 3: San Diego has built and built and built and built 540 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 3: and built and approved everything and said yes to everything, 541 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 3: and it's still four thousand dollars for a one bedroom. 542 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: And by the way, all of this is rich coming 543 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: from her given the fact that she lives in faculty 544 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: housing at the University of California IRV and she spent 545 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 2: how many years living in that house not teaching a 546 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: full schedule. 547 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 3: Well, there were the six years she was in Congress. 548 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 3: Wait please, There was the year she ran for senator. Please, 549 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 3: And there was the year she ran for governor. 550 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 6: Wait please. 551 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: She's like kato' caitlin, the marginal effect. 552 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 5: And it would take a long long time for California 553 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 5: to be able to really have an oversupply of housing 554 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 5: such that you saw prices come down. 555 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 6: What would make prices come down? 556 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: I got in La County, lost fifty thousand people in population, 557 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: and prices still went up. 558 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, explain that one. 559 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 5: Really much more quickly is if we built faster. So 560 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 5: if we built housing here two years faster, like Colorado, 561 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 5: for example, our housing would cost about twenty percent and that, 562 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 5: by the way, would affect not just single family homes. 563 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 7: That would also be true for rent your sort of 564 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 7: consumer advocate. 565 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 3: By the way, that kind of idea is why the 566 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 3: building trades unions wouldn't invest in her. They want the 567 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 3: project to take as long as possible because then they 568 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 3: get more money. 569 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 570 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: a telephone number.

Elizabeth Warren obviously a mentor someone who has 582 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 7: been at forefront of this, But it felt like a 583 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 7: new wave in twenty eighteen when you were a part 584 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 7: of it. 585 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 6: Now there's another wave. 586 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 7: And as I mentioned, it is the democratic socials of 587 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 7: America who look at it more in terms of structural reform. 588 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 6: Let's not regulate the market. The market is a problem. 589 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 6: Let's just change it. 590 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 3: Let's burn it all down. 591 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: That's what they believe entirely. 592 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 7: How do you square or take on the economy with 593 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 7: what we're seeing come out of saying New York with mndoni. 594 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 6: But even in LA politics, right. 595 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, let's remember that Elizabeth Warren's presidential 596 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 5: campaign was big structural change, so I think she was 597 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 5: focused on the big building blocks of the economy. 598 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 3: I think we have challenges, and then she dropped out 599 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 3: to endorse the antithesis of structural change, Biden. 600 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 5: It's around corporate consolidation and antitrust. 601 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 3: At least she reripp Bloomberg a new one. That was 602 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 3: a fun debate. 603 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 5: I think we have challenges around the ability for smaller 604 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 5: businesses to compete, amount of law, how long people are 605 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 5: being asked to work. 606 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 6: What do we do with minimum wage? 607 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 5: So we raising wages to help people who are working 608 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 5: full time be able to live. But now we're seeing 609 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 5: very high youth unemployment and. 610 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 3: So that's actually a direct result of the fast food 611 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 3: minimum wage. They don't want to hire teenagers anymore. 612 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 2: It is you make it more expensive to hire people, 613 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: they get replaced by robots. It's easy to understand. 614 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 5: I think you have to recognize that a thriving economy 615 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 5: helps everybody. 616 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: If you have a threat to say that Rhymed, maybe 617 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 2: she she'll be the next mayor. 618 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 5: Of la I think economy, then you have more tax 619 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 5: resources to be able to do some of that redistribution 620 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 5: that I think is important to the DSA movement. 621 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 7: And am I hearing you say that the DSA isn't 622 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 7: exactly speaking about economic opportunity. They're speaking more about structural 623 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 7: reform and also redistribution. 624 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 5: I think they're pointing to problems. I'm not sure that 625 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 5: they've yet unlocked kind of a solution. I think there 626 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 5: is an anger, there is a frustration, and there is 627 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 5: a skepticism whether the Democratic Party really is going to 628 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 5: be on the side of working Americans. As you know, 629 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 5: I didn't take corporate contributions during. 630 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,239 Speaker 3: Well, we're still on that. 631 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: Boy. She loves beating that dead horse, doesn't she. 632 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 3: She's going to open up her book talk before she 633 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 3: gets into her inter for her review of Akatar Too, 634 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 3: it's going to be you know, I never took corporate 635 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 3: pac money. 636 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 6: My governor's race. 637 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 5: I was the only candidate who didn't take corporate country. 638 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 5: We did contribute to your this indefenitent EXPANSI super I can't. 639 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 5: I can't control anybody, then you don't. That's not my campaign. 640 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 7: So it got people upset, though, I mean, but I've 641 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 7: got a double standard ultimately for. 642 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 2: Someone it's so interesting to see her poked at from 643 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 2: the left, because typically she gets poked at from the 644 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 2: right and forums like this, but you don't see people 645 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 2: on the left taking shots at her. The fact that 646 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 2: he's going there is kind of interesting. I wonder if 647 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 2: he's trying to get her to lose her cool. 648 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 3: It's definitely possible.
