Mister Randy Wegg is off today. 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.840 His flight was canceled and he's stuck in Dallas. So 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:12.560 maybe he's hanging out with Mark Cuban. 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:13.080 I don't know. 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.840 Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.959 the telephone number one. Eight hundred two two two five 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.000 two two two. It is my pleasure to welcome our 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.119 next guest to the program. She is the former majority 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.840 leader of the California Senate. She's also a candidate for 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.040 lieutenant governor here in the state of California. You can 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.120 get her online at Gloria Romero the number four ltgov 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.960 dot com and you can follow her on exit. 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:40.560 Gloria J. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:46.839 Romero, Senator Gloria Romero, welcome, so good to be with you. 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.279 And I wish Randy a good time in Dallas. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.479 Well, if you want him to come back, tell him 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.040 to buy a ticket on an airline that's not American. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:00:59.400 All right. 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.600 We are are exactly one week ahead of the election. 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.400 People are filling out their ballots right now as we speak. 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.840 As the ballots went out in the mail to every 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.440 registered voter in the state, of California. I think the 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.119 voting centers have opened up as well, and of course 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.520 people can vote on election day as people are making 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.680 up their minds right now, make the case why should 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.600 people vote for you for a lieutenant governor? 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.120 Well, I think the voters are ready for change, and 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.040 we see this on the right track, wrong track, pulling 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:36.800 consistently whether you're a Republican, a Democrat, independent, we are 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.800 finding that Californians are sick and tired of being sick 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:41.480 and tired. 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.120 We want change. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.120 Essentially, it's a referendum on one party monopoly rule and 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.080 Gavin Newsom. I mean, we find number one in homelessness, 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.360 number one in taxes, number one in crime, and yet 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.200 at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.600 literacy and school achievement. You know, on top of it, 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.400 listening to your previous segment, that about the whole covering up, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.000 the hiding the numbers and then. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.359 The cover up. And if we take a look at. 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.920 Why why voters for no other reason except these that 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.360 I'm about to say, should vote for change, which means 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:21.000 don't vote Democrat anymore. Vote Republican. Gloria Romero for Lieutenant governor. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:26.120 I've urged Steve Hilton for Republican governor. But we take 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.440 a look at the so called bullet train, the bullet 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.960 train that we know has cost already an estimate two 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:38.160 hundred and thirty billion dollars and they've now released the 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.960 bullet train is probably going to turn into a high 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.000 speed bus. That's crazy. But it doesn't stop with the 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.120 bullet train. You can go into these hospices. We haven't 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:53.000 found leering centers in California, but it might be worse. 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.440 We found hospice centers where basically you go to say 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.880 I want to have peace until I finally, you know, 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.239 expire and die going to the next world. 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:02.440 We found that. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.640 They have hospice a center in a burrito stand, I 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.040 mean a burrito stand. John, think about the crime that's there, 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.320 and then you take a look at the unemployment fraud 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.840 that was taken away, the so called also hearing age 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.520 that turned into a sham. There were supposed to be 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.560 emergency nine to one one upgrade that went down the drain. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.960 And what about the diapers, I mean the diapers that 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.480 Gavin Newsom's first partner was basically going to profit off 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.080 of in her so called nonprofit I mean, the giveaway that. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.040 Costs more than if you just walked into. 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.040 Your local target and bought. So this is all of 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.400 like the books, the waste, the fraud, the abuse. But 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.920 you know what I think is even more important why 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:52.440 voters should just turn away is that this administration and 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.680 if this happened for a while, are hiding the books. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.360 They're not only cooking them, they're hiding them. And what 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.840 do we mean by got well, how many of us 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:06.200 know that the administration hired some very fansors I think 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.920 it was Italian tile, to put into this new annex 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.760 in the Capitol. They created secret passageways so the members 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.120 cannot be confronted like by the. 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.200 Ashley Zabalas, you know, the reporters. 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.520 And Sacramento who want them to answer questions. We find 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.159 that they still refuse to release all of these secret 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:33.840 settlements with you know, compromising situations allegedly between members and 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.839 their staff. And we're finding now too that they're even 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:42.039 running legislation to hide from us the cost of the 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.880 so called bullet train to nowhere. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.320 So it goes on and on and on, and. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.680 We're just saying vote different. You know, this is insanity. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.599 It's not going to change unless we are willing to 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.679 break one party rule. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.200 So I invite your listeners. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.360 If you know, if you're happy with your government, you 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.040 can keep your government. But if you're unhappy, give us 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:11.520 a chance. Vote differently. Vote for a Republican who understands 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:16.279 that people deserve better government. If not how much we spend, 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.160 it's what we get out of it. And nobody is 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.440 getting anything good. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:23.720 Out of this government. 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.560 So that's the pitch, and I ask people to turn 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.080 out and vote. It's going to continue if we don't 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.679 stand up and just say enough. 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.360 As majority leader, you have worked very closely with multiple 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.279 governors here in the state of California to do things 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.359 like get budgets through and make the state function. We 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.120 have an absentee landlord governor who is running for president 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.880 and doesn't seem interested in the duties of his office, 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.400 and it seems like that attitude has trickled all the 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:58.400 way down to the other statewide constitutional officeholders and even 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.880 in the state legislature and to local government. One of 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.960 your opponents in the race is the state Treasurer, Fiona 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.880 ma who is running for a lieutenant governor because she's 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.040 turned out a straight state treasurer. And you look at 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.400 her social media accounts. She has a lot to say 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.760 about Donald Trump, She opines about federal issues, she opines 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.719 about ice. But if you're the treasurer when all of 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.320 the fraud that you just described took place on your 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.360 watch and you didn't seem to care. You weren't out 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.480 blowing the horn. You weren't trying to use the power 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.920 and the duties of your office to stop it from happening, 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.200 to prevent taxpayers from being fleeced. You were perfectly happy 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.080 to go along and get along and allow all of 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:47.520 these criminals to enrich themselves and allow taxpayers to have 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.359 their hard earned money stolen from them by these bad actors. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.800 It seems like Gavin Newsom's attitude has trickled all the 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.880 way down to every layer of government here in California, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.279 and it's like a answer that's killing the state. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.640 You're exactly right, John, And that's how egregious it is. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.440 And the cynicism not of the people, not of the voters, 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.960 but of the rulers, you know, the monopoly, the so 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.320 called you know, no king's chorus that says we have 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.520 to do better. They basically have a disdainful attitude towards 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.920 the people of California. You mentioned Gavin Newsom. You're absolutely right. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.600 The guy is missing an action. He's on a delusional 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.800 tour that he can be made president and nobody will 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.120 notice his failed record in California. 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:36.400 The guy is a. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.160 Joke, but he's hurting us painfully. But then you take 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.119 a look at the current lieutenant governor who is running 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.960 for treasurer. When the governor is out of state, it's 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:51.040 the lieutenant governor who should take over. Has anybody seen her? 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.520 Has anybody heard from her? When the governor is out 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:59.360 of state? The lieutenant governor has authoritative powers, I tell you, 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.160 and I'm lutenan governor. I'm not going to be invisible 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.720 if we have another drifting type governor. I don't think 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.640 we will if we elect a Republican, but stay tuned, 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.160 we might if we elected Democrats. But the current lieutenant 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.200 governor is as much missing in action, she's even more 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.960 invisible because the people don't even know that there's an 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:23.400 acting governor invisible. So she's running for office. You mentioned 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.480 one of my opponents, the treasurer, who is running for 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.920 office too, and she also has some real problems out 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.640 tied allegedly to a donor from China who is trying 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.800 to buy high school diplomas from a local district. Allegedly, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.800 I'd say, but that track record looks pretty strong in 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.320 terms of evidence. So she's running for office, just running 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.360 about Orange Man bad. Then continue on it. You have 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:53.480 an attorney general failing to curb in any of the crime. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.000 He's out running for his own reelection. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.440 Then you have the Secretary of State out running for 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.360 re election. Then you have the controller who's not controlling 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.520 any of the ways the fraud and abuse, out. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:07.520 Running for reelection. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.880 Then you have the worst of them, the superintendent of 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:16.079 public instruction, who thinks because he has run a school 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:20.280 system into the ground, it's failing. Over fifty percent of 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.800 the kids can't read, or write or do math, and 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.040 he thinks he can be governor. He's out running for 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.280 this position. So when you stop and you look at it, John, 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.960 all of them are running for themselves, like the public 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.440 be damned. Can I say that on radio? I'm not 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.840 sure of It forgets the public and you have to 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.920 wonder who's running the state of California. I will tell 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.720 all our listeners right now, we are on our own. 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:53.160 The monopoly rule has basically taken us for granted. We 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:58.120 have to stand up, speak up, show up, mail your 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.800 ballot today or drop it in a dropbox or walk 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.480 it in to a voting center or on election day. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.120 It's us if we want. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.680 Change, we have to throw these bums out because they 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.840 don't care about us. They care about their own careers, 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.640 and their record of not showing up is exactly what 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.920 we have to tell the people. As a final reason, 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:23.440 then throw them out of office. 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:24.680 Let them go somewhere else. 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:30.679 The Lieutenant governor's office is a largely ceremonial office where 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:34.200 the real power comes if the governor were to die 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.959 in office, take another job, become incapacitated, leave the state 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.720 for a long period of time, whatever. The last time 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:45.160 the lieutenant governor has taken over was when Goodwood Night 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.200 Goodie Knight took over when Earl Warren was appointed to 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:53.040 the Supreme Court by President Eisenhower. However, this time around 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.240 it could happen again. And I say that because in 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.719 recent polls, Javier Bessera has started to move up and 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.040 he is placed in the top two in several recent polls. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.120 There's a chance a good chance maybe that he could 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.480 make the November ballot. There's also a chance that he 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.360 could be indicted by the federal government, as we have 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.720 seen his chief of staff cut a deal with the 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.560 Feds for corruption. We have seen Dana Williamson, who is 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.720 the chief of staff, former chief of staff, I should 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.000 say of Galvin Newsom, who has worked closely with Javier 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:30.000 Besserra on his various political endeavors, also reportedly cutting a 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.439 deal with the Feds, and a third person very close 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:38.440 to Besserah is also in trouble right now with the 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:43.920 federal government regarding corruption. If he were to be indicted, 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.120 my guess is there's a chance he could have to 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.880 resign from office, or if he's convicted, maybe he would 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.920 go to federal prison. Do you see that as a 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.480 possibility as you've run for the office of lieutenant governor, 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.280 It is a very real possibility. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.480 And the position of lieutenant governor number two in the 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.200 state of California has always been overlooked. It can no 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.720 longer continue to be overlooked, and so we need to 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:16.319 get somebody in there. I believe it's me who's independent. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.040 I am a Republican in terms of my political registration, 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.599 a former Democrat who saw the failure of a Democrat 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.800 party unwilling to stand up for California's middle class and 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.480 working class, dictater to far left special interest and I, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.880 as they say, the party left me. I walked away 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.120 though eventually and just said no more. The people deserve better. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.720 But we need to have somebody in there who won't 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:47.679 just replicate the same policies of the corrupt administration that 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.800 we see in one that may come after us. So 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.640 you're exactly right on the question of the role of 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.440 the lieutenant governor. I think historically it's been treated as 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.560 sort of a Seinfeld, a job about nothing. But I 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.080 also believe that this has every potential if you get 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.680 a strong person in. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.679 There who knows what can be done, who knows where 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.320 the bodies are buried, the rules of the game. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.439 How to work budget, how to work across the aisle, 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:18.840 Republican and a Democrat as well, because once you finish 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:19.920 the campaign. 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.040 You have to govern, and that's one thing that I 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:22.760 know how to do. 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.960 And the time that I spent in Sacramento before people 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.800 know that I worked across the aisle to get tough 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.440 things done, like even some significant education. Before that, I 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.440 worked with with a governor of a party of which 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.720 I was not a part of at that time. So 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.839 you've got to get some good, strong people in there 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.640 who are fair, have integrity, and who believe in sunshine 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.160 in government. And that's something where I have a track 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.480 record on writing laws, bringing forth legislation that allows the 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:57.559 people of California to see what their own government is doing, 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.360 unlike what we see happening today and Sacramentum. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.040 Let's switch gears here for a second, because we do 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:10.000 have some hard numbers in terms of what ballots have been. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.040 Returned and who's turning them in. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.480 At this point in twenty twenty two, Democrats represented fifty 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:20.200 four percent of the ballots returned. At this point in 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:25.200 this election, they represent forty two percent. They're down twelve 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.320 points from where they were four years ago. At this 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:32.080 point in twenty twenty two, Republicans represented twenty six percent 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:36.320 of the ballots turned in. Now they represent thirty seven percent. 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:41.600 That's an increase in eleven points. Independents represented twenty percent 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.480 in twenty twenty two and twenty one percent in twenty 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.600 twenty six. That's up one point. Why is it do 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.920 you think that Republicans are turning their ballots in at 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.680 a faster pace this time than last time. And why 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.320 have Democrats fallen off a cliff? 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.640 Well, first of all, congratulation Republicans. I think Republicans are 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:08.000 highly motivated have begun to see that we have had 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.240 an administration that has been derelict in its duty and 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.000 responsibility to the people under. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.200 The California Constitution. 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.880 Additionally, though, I do think that the Democrats are still 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.720 sort of befuddled over. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.360 This is it, This is the best you have to 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:25.000 send us. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:29.040 So there's a real dismay amongst everyday voters, every day 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:33.120 Democrats just saying, you know, who are these people? There's 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.200 no real, you know, shining star in that pool for 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.480 to become governor of the state of California. And then 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.320 we saw that the Democrat Party itself basically was going 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.360 to try to I believe, cover up the sins and 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.200 scandals of their former leader until they saw, oh no, 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.600 this information is coming out. So they basically threw the 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.640 equivalent of the horses hit and the mafioso move against 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.400 Eric's swallwell to get him out of the race, and 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.720 thinking that everything will consolidate now. But it hasn't. It's 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.760 still all over the map. I think ultimately, you know, 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.720 the Democrat party machine is very strong. They are holding 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.960 on too ballots. Would I anticipate there's going to be 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.160 a last minute surge. Remember the governor's sort of teasing 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.080 that on a rare occasion when he was in California. 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.880 I think, but teasing we have a you know, break 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.760 the glass in case of strategy, Make no doubt about it. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.680 I think they're harvesting the ballots. They're holding on to them. 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.520 Maybe the envelopes are still unsealed, get ready to change 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.120 in case they need to at the last minute change votes. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.560 But the machine is not going to give up easily. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.120 So they're holding on. Expect a surge, which means for 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:49.480 everybody else, Republicans, independents, and I'm going to say common 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.960 sense disaffected Democrats who don't want to go along with 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.680 the old party line. I think these people encourage you 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.720 come out and vote. We've got to make it too 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.840 big to rig, and hopefully to get some clear trends 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.159 by election night so that even when that surge of 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.399 votes perhaps comes in later, they can't turn around the 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.399 vote and can't fool us with some obscure moves, but 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.200 I think we have to be ready for all. 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.359 The important thing is, don't. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.879 Worry about who's voting right now. It's a moment in 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.600 time seven days. You know, it's like two minutes in 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:28.479 a baseball in a basketball game. It'll go quickly and 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.679 anything can happen in those final two minute warnings. So 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.080 we are in the final week. Don't worry about what 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.760 the other teams are doing. Keep turning in your ballots, 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.480 turn them in, turn them in, get every neighbor out. 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.480 And I think if we do that, we continue with 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.920 the momentum and we can prevail and avoid the pitfalls 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.879 and potential greater chances to try to opfu, skate and 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:56.760 erase our vote that may happen right after election day, 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.879 because remember they will still be counting. We have to 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.360 have a clear trend by the evening of election night. 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.800 Let's shoot for that, but we got to get our ballots. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:10.120 In last question, we have about sixty seconds left. How 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.879 much of the enthusiasm do you think can be attributed 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.880 to Spencer Pratt Because his ads have gone viral. He's 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.400 being covered on TMZ and forums that don't typically cover 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.720 California politics. Every time he puts a new ad out, 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.000 It's all over all of my social media feeds. People 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.040 are texting it to me, emailing it to me. There 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.959 seems to be a real appetite for that message, and 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.320 he has people engaged who typically don't engage in politics. 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.720 I'm a fan of Spencer Pratt. I've already voted for him. 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.000 He says it this, He says, Look, I'm not a Republican, 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:46.480 Independent or Democrat. 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.000 I'm an angry voter. They burn my house down, and. 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.200 Every Californian should take that Spencer Pratt message. Whatever label 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.640 we put behind our name, we are an angry Californian. 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.560 But we believe that we can make California golden again, 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:02.440 and we're going. 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:03.679 To show up and stand up. 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.520 If Spencer Pratt and his family can do it and 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.840 they got burned out of their home, we can do 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.960 that as well. So in solidarity with Spencer, but in 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.040 solidary with the people of California, let's show up to 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.120 vote and just end the insanity that we have lived 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.199 under for the last sixteen years. And it starts with 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.440 Spencer Pratt. In Los Angeles, Gloria Romero for Lieutenant Governor. 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:31.160 We can join a formidable partnership to turn around our 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:32.119 state once again. 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.480 Gloria Romero, candidate for Lieutenant governor here in the state 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.520 of California.

Of course, the s and P five hundred 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:46.439 and NASDAK. They've been setting new records again and again 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:50.520 and again and again. The stock market right now is cooking. 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.960 Joining us to talk about this is the host of 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.600 YouTube's Dumb Money Live, who's an investor best known for 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.800 turning a twenty thousand dollars broke you count and eighty 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:05.520 million dollars using unconventional socially driven investment strategies. You can 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.600 get them online at dumb money dot tv and follow 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.120 him on x at Chris Camillo. Chris Camillo, Welcome. 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:15.560 How are you doing? Good to be here? 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.159 I'm great, Thanks so much for stopping by. So the 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.520 stock market right now is as hot as my angels 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:23.119 are cold. 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:24.560 Are you surprised? 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.080 No, not, not in the least. I've been in the 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:34.000 game a long time. And you know, rather than kind 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:37.680 of start with the stock market hot, I'd rather start 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.600 with the fact that we're going through a structural technological 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.879 leap unlike we've ever seen in our lifetime. So the 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.480 stock market is simply a reflection of what's happening in 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.840 the world with artificial intelligence and what's about to come 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:54.040 the next decade. I think. 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.360 So you think people who are currently investing, provided they're 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.240 investing the right way, they're in the water right as 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:02.240 the waves about to hit. 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.439 Well, you know, it's hard to say that there's you know, 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.480 you either believe that what we're seeing right now is 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:14.640 very real. And if you spend time working with AI 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.080 directly or spend all the time deeply engage with those 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.360 that are working with AI directly, I think you come 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.439 to terms with the fact that the biggest thing to 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:27.600 ever happen to our global economy, and we'll have massive 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:31.320 implications both good and bad, on various sectors and companies, 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.200 and a lot of the stock market the last couple 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.639 of years has been carried by a small number of 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:41.840 companies that I think have earned the right to kind 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:46.080
