WEBVTT - Katie Porter turns out the lights, the party's over 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.200 And very happy Thursday to you with twelve oh six 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:06.520 in the West, it's the Giant Phillips Show, mister Randy 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:08.560 Weggs in Culver City, John. 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.640 It looks like now two days after election Day, that 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:17.560 overall turnout for this June primary, which had national coverage, 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:23.800 is around twenty six percent support. That includes twenty eight 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:29.440 percent of Democrats, thirty three percent of Republicans, and eighteen 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:34.199 percent of the nppiece. But we won't know what the 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.640 final number is for sure until the state of California 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.840 stops counting ballots, which will happen right around the time 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:48.600 that your grandchildren graduate from college. I believe the alert 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.200 that came out from La County yesterday was they've counted 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.640 about one point four million ballots and they have another 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.400 seven hundred and fifty thousand to get through. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:00:59.920 Unbelievable. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.959 Now, when it comes to the latest drops in the ballot, 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.400 to use the term that they love to use, the 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:13.480 ballot dumps, the races really haven't changed much. Steve Hilton 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.040 still in first place with twenty seven percent support, Javier 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.760 Bakaria and second at twenty five percent support, and Tom 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.920 Steyer is still under twenty percent. He did crack a 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.400 million votes, but he's still three hundred thousand below Bisera 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.679 and four hundred thousand below Hilton. 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.959 Every time I hear you say ballot dumps, I think 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.440 it's a new age form of depression. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.400 Now in the La Mayors race, which everyone was getting 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.240 all crazy yesterday with these gambling websites that you have 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.360 to take with a grain of salt that people were 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.080 assuming that all of the late ballots are going to 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:58.200 break for Nythia for some reason, and the betting markets 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.880 still say that Nythia has a six ft three percent 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.480 chance to advance to the runoff. That hasn't in the 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.800 vote dump that happened yesterday at four point thirty changed whatsoever. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.400 Karen bass is at thirty four point nine percent, Spencer 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.079 Pratt is at twenty nine point nine to one percent, 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.639 so pretty much thirty percent, and Nythia Rahman is at 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.400 twenty two point eight percent. Nythia is still about forty 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:27.440 thousand ballots below Spencer Pratt, so they would have to 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.880 start breaking for her in an extraordinary way, and so 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.560 far we just have not seen that. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.640 So you had an interesting theory as to why the 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.560 betting markets went haywire. Are two pm. Hour yesterday and 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.600 you trace it back to a Steve Kornaki report on MSNBC. 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.200 We actually got a couple of emails about this. So 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.359 there were people who were counting late into the night 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.519 on Tuesday, and La County put a couple of ballot 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.320 dumps excuse my language, late into the evening, like there 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:00.880 was one at a less seven pm and there was 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:05.280 one at midnight. And those two broke heavily for Nythia. 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.640 So anyone that's trying to make a quick buck in 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.239 the gambling game looked at that and thought, oh well, 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.919 if they all go that way, there's a big advantage 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.440 to putting money on Nithia right now, because if you 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.800 bought Nythia when she was at twenty percent support to advance, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.480 you're going to cash in if she actually makes it. 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:31.600 And sometimes the news can contribute to a mass psychosis 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.840 like that. We've seen it happen before. I mean, go 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.720 back to the COVID days. Remember when everyone was fighting 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.280 over toilet paper in the grocery store, and then when 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.040 that gets reported, everyone starts fighting even more over toilet 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.760 paper in the grocery store. There are households mine included, 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.520 that are still auto shipping toilet paper every single month, 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.440 just in case. So I think it was doctor Kelly 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.680 who had the theory as to why people were fighting 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:06.480 over toilet paper because COVID was not a gastro problem. 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.920 There's no reason for you to need more toilet paper 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.720 than normal if you're going through a COVID nineteen pandemic. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:19.360 And her theory was that when COVID first started and 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.320 they started shutting down society, they started shutting down commerce, 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.559 and people didn't know when their state would shut down 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.680 because they did it in waves. Initially, only certain things 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.120 were shut down, and then oh, let's shut down the 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.200 parks and the beaches and the golf courses too. And 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.600 we went through that hysteria well when people thought that 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.760 they were going to shut down the costcos and the 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.560 supermarkets and all the places where you regularly shop. Everyone 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.760 was acting like an idiot when they were shopping. And 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.120 there were these two hags that were shopping at a 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.360 Walmart and they ended up getting into a fistfight over 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.120 toilet paper. That was the item that they were both 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.520 trying to buy. And they got into a fistfight at 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:09.160 the Walmart, and someone was recording it. Because someone's recording 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.040 everything that goes on in society at any point in time, 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.440 and then of course put it on social media, because 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.920 why not. That video was used all over the news, 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:26.720 and that video was shared all over social media, and 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.479 because it was toilet paper that they happened to be 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.880 fighting over, that's what people took away from from it. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.479 They thought, Okay, there's a shortage of toilet paper, let's 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.680 go out and buy toilet paper. Had they been fighting 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.240 over avocados, there would have been a run on avocados. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.360 If they were fighting over batteries, there would have been 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:53.440 a run on batteries. It just so happened that they 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.839 were fighting over toilet paper. So that's what led to 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.680 no one being able to get toilet paper for about 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.360 eight When fear gets into your brain, you stop making 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.560 rational decisions. And whether you saw the video or not, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.120 I remember the feeling of going to my local Ralphs 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.800 right as the lockdowns began. It was the first time 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.920 I had ever seen a grocery store with nothing on 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:17.600 the shelves. 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.440 It freaked me out. I was like, hey, youar And 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.159 no nobody knew what was going to happen at that point. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.520 We weren't sure the world was about to end. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.960 And here's some good advice that you could just generally 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.160 use at any point in the future. If you see 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.920 two overweight women with curlers in their hair throwing haymakers 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.760 at one another, never assume that they know something you don't, 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.880 because I guarantee you they don't. You know, it's wild 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.599 about this panic Nithia betting that's going on on Calshi, 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.320 which again we report it because it's literally a news 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.960 partner now for CNN, So people take this stuff way 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.400 more seriously than they should. But the amount of money 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.359 that's been dumped into the who will advance in the 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.800 LA mayoral election in the last twenty four hours, it's 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.720 almost doubled. The cap on that right now is about 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.000 two point four million dollars has been spent, and it 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:20.120 was at like one point four million yesterday. Okay, so 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.720 I'm going to try to explain where the numbers are. Randy, 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.119 you I think set the table well as to where 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:32.000 we are right now with the LA Mayor's race. That 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.800 being said, I do have to warn you this is 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.400 going to be a drunk man driving down an icy road, 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.280 because when it comes to math, I'm extremely remedial so 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.160 let me do my best to try to explain where 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:50.480 we are and what's what the future holds. So, according 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:56.240 to the latest numbers, Nitya. Rahman is running well in 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.320 the late ballots so far. So any ballot that was 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.800 turned in at the very last minute is likely to 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.040 be more pro Nithea than the ballots that were cast 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:11.520 early on. Remember when the voting started and we kept 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.520 talking about how Republicans were overperforming, they were doing better 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.680 than Democrats. Well, the late ballots they benefit the Democrats. 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.840 It's a term. There is actually a new word for this. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.720 They call it the red mirage. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.760 Okay, So of the ballots that they're counting right now, 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:35.800 the late ballots, she's winning thirty one point two percent 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:40.760 of them, so just under a third. Spencer is winning 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:45.880 twenty point eight percent of them, So that means that 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.960 she's doing better than him by ten point four points. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:56.600 There's seven hundred thousand ballots remaining in La County, but 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.360 not every La County ballot gets a vote for the 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.079 mayor's race. If you live in Long Beach, for example, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.720 you vote on Long Beach issues, you don't vote in 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.000 the city of La So while that ballot is sitting 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.600 in Norwalk, and that ballot is an LA County ballot. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.319 That ballot will not impact the LA Mayor's race because 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.200 they don't have a say. Same thing with Pasadena, same 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.800 thing with Manhattan Beach, same thing with Calabasas. None of 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.600 those cities get a say in the LA mayors race. So, 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:35.040 of those seven hundred thousand ballots that remain that have 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:41.600 not been counted yet in La County, according to the numbers, 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.240 we should expect about two hundred and sixty three thousand 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.400 of them to come from the city of La So 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.319 from the point of view of Spencer and Nitia, they 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.040 have two hundred and sixty three more ballots that are 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.800 going to be counted that could impact that race. If 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:06.120 current participation rates hold, Ramen will likely need to beat 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:12.400 Pratt by about fourteen percent to leapfrog him. That's what 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.080 she'll need of those remaining two hundred and sixty three 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.680 thousand ballots to beat him. Currently, with all of these 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.040 batches that are so pro Nthia, and she's doing so well, 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.240 she's winning them by ten point four percent, So she 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.680 needs to do better than that. She needs to beat 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.439 him by fourteen points and right now she's beating him 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:41.080 by ten point four. So according to this, according to 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.880 the numbers as they exist, assuming I did it right, 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:51.360 if the batches of ballots are won by Nythia at 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.960 the rate that Steve Kornaki was talking about, which is 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.600 better than what she did before, which is better than 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.800 Spencer Pratt, it's still not enough to get her there. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.280 So for her to win, she either needs to clean 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.200 his clock in the remaining ballots, something she has not 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:15.600 done so far, or they need to find more ballots 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.800 because she is beating them. So if you find more 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.880 than two hundred and sixty three thousand, that gives her 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.959 a chance, or if she beats them by more than 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.840 fourteen points in each batch, that gives her a chance. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.079 But so far neither one of those two things has happened. 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.520 So given the fact that those are the numbers, there 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.400 is no justification for the betting markets to do what 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.560 they're doing right now to my eye. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.560 But the thing with the betting markets is they can 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:55.320 be manipulated. You can put your if you're a mythea supporter, 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.720 you can start spending a bunch of money on there 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.440 to put out this illusion that she has a chance here, 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.080 or you have a bunch of people who again, this 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.000 is a gambling platform. This is not a poll that 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.400 see an opportunity to make some good money because the 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.400 margins looked really good, like any other underdog that you 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.720 bet on in sports Angels fan Well, and here's something 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.720 else to think about too. This is not like a 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:27.760 general election where there's a binary choice between a Republican 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:28.800 and a Democrat. 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:34.079 This is a primary, which means every time a Democrat 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:38.800 ballot gets counted, that ballot isn't necessarily going to go 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:44.559 for Nythia because Karen bass is doing better than Nythia overall. 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.120 In fact, she's doing a lot better than Nythia, and 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.480 some of those Democrats are going to vote for Pratt. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.360 And then you also have those also ran candidates who 0:12:55.360 --> 0:13:01.880 are generating their own support. So unless I'm missing something big, 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:07.960 I don't see how she leapfrogs him. Now. The mail 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.480 which is coming in today can alter the number of 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:16.600 ballots that La County has left to count, but their 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.040 estimate is that it's going to be just over seven 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.920 hundred thousand county wide, and they've done this a long time, 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.800 so I assume that they're basing it on some kind 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.920 of modeling that's worked out for them before in the past. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.960 And then some ballots, I guess will trickle in tomorrow. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.720 And then maybe you have military ballots that are coming 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:42.480 from overseas or people who are business people who are 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.400 traveling in different countries around the world. Maybe those ballots 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.600 will come in late. But you're just talking about a 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:53.280 handful of ballots. And again, not all of them will 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.040 have a say in the La City elections. Some of 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.079 them will be LA County residents. But if you live 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.280 in Long Beach again and you can't vote for mayor 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.960 of LA So I don't think anything's going to change. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.559 But according to the betting markets, I'm in the minority. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.280 Well, this is the opportunity if you happen to be 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:18.240 a degenerate gambler who bets on politics. There's some really 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.960 good odds to put behind Spencer Pratt right now. 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.840 Yes, but then you're relying on me to do the 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:28.400 math correctly, and that's another that's another thing. I don't 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:29.320 know if i'd bet. 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:33.000 On Well, it's a bet. And by the way, you 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.360 think some people are putting like twenty dollars on this, 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.120 they they have a live ticker of how much money 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.920 is being spent on this thing. Someone just put twenty 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:46.640 five hundred dollars on Nitia. All right, this might actually 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.280 be the end of society. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.760 And speaking of the end, it is the end for 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.480 one Katie Porter. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:03.920 Katie Porter, we have covered extensively from her time as 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:13.720 the congresswoman representing Orange County, her Senate race where she 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.840 did not make it past the primary. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.400 I call it the shift gift, all. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:22.360 Of her viral videos in Congress. What I haven't heard 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:28.680 about is anything about dishwashers, and of course her gubernatorial campaign. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:36.000 Out of my shot is over. Katie has conceded, and Johnny, 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.880 when we come back, you're going to hear what Katie 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.520 had to say to her supporters in a video that 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.080 she shot. I believe before she went to that bar 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:48.400 in Newport Beach. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.520 So she wasn't slarn her words. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:52.920 Sorry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots. 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:58.600 We will have Katie Border's swan song, her goodbye for 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.760 now at least coming up in moments. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.880 Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.520 telephone number one eight hundred two two two five two 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.040 two two.

Poor Porter 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:47.080 do Katie. She went to the bakery and all she 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:53.159 could get was a carrot kky, I'm pulling in to 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.399 the bakery. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.399 Generally speaking, she does like to cut her own carrots. 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.560 Sorry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots. 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:07.560 That was when she was making that Instagram live video 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.280 by herself, because she was setting up the camera and 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.560 she had it backwards for a while, and it was 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.639 all about while she was holding a knife. How pissed 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.399 off she was that all the money Tom Steyer was 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.119 spending on his campaign. And that's back when he was 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:24.879 only spending like fifty million. 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.800 Well, if she was pissed off back then, can you 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.520 imagine what she's like right now? 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:39.360 No, Katie Porter has conceded in the governor's race as 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.520 the numbers stand right now and not all the ballots 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:47.120 have been counted, but Katie Porter is in fifth place. 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.399 Two hundred and thirty eight thousand Californians cast their ballot 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:57.960 for Katie, which is currently four point six one percent. 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.240 Pictures have emerged of Katie Porter drowning her sorrows at 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.960 a Newport Beach bar where nearby Steve Hilton was having 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:14.600 his victory rally, and Katie Porter, before she went to 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:18.600 the bar, put out a video to her staff and 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:22.920 to her supporters telling them that it was over. Turn 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:33.119 out the lights. The Porter's over This was posted to 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:37.640 Katie Porter's YouTube page that yes, I am a subscriber 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.159 to Hi. 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:39.920 It's Katie Porter. 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:40.959 Tonight is elected. 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.840 We're not doing high pitch for this one. Oh no, 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:45.920 it's not a high pitch kind of night. 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:52.560 Hi, It's Katie Porter. Tonight is election night. The votes 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.560 are still being counted and it may take a few days. 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:56.840 Here in California, it. 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:57.960 May take a few months. 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:01.320 What are you talking about a few days? We're now 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.840 two days after the election and they're telling us it's 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.440 going to go on for another Monthornia to have fight. 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:11.639 And by the way, this whole process sending everyone a 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.119 ballot a month in advance, allowing you to register up 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.760 until two weeks before the election, putting in provisional ballots, 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.639 letting you sign up at the last possible minute, putting 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.520 in your ballot at seven point fifty nine into the 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:27.640 mailbox and have beg outed seven days later. It has 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:32.520 not increased turnout. It has not increased people who want 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.479 to use their right to vote. It is all at 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.080 this point. It's only gone down. 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.880 But if you think about it, this is just how 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.560 we run shop across the board in the state. Now, 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.960 I mean, it's been a year and a half since 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:50.160 those homes burned down on the Palisades and people still 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:53.439 can't get permits to rebuild a year and a half. 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.440 A lot of them still haven't settled their insurance claims 0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:58.760 a year and a half later. 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.359 Well, think about this too. How often do we do 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:06.600 crime blodder stories where someone drives a stolen Hondai through 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.919 the wall of a seven to eleven, The clerk is 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.760 scared to death, calls nine to one one and they 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.080 tell them to fill out a form online and they'll 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:20.959 get to it when they get to it. How about 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.320 in downtown LA when you have the squatters lighting bombs 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:28.320 off and abandoned buildings and blowing up not just the 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.720 buildings that they're in, but the buildings nearby where people 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.560 actually pay to live in. And then the people in 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.640 the neighborhood complain to the cops to kick them all 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:41.280 out because there are more squatters and more abandoned buildings, 0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:44.359 And what does the city say, We'll get to it 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.359 when we get to it. There is no sense of 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:53.120 urgency anywhere in this state to do anything. And it's 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:55.600 a hell of a way to live, It's a hell 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.240 of a way to run a state. But I can't 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:03.400 for the life of me, I really truly don't understand 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:07.040 this why Democrats don't seem to have a problem with this, 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.880 Because they're in charge. This date can be run anyway 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:16.639 they want to, And across the board, it's like you 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:21.639 deal with an obstinate DMV clerk everywhere you turn, and 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:24.280 they just shrug their shoulders and they go, well, that's 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:28.240 the way it is. I seriously wonder if they run 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:32.280 their own lives this way. I mean, imagine, imagine if 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.199 everyone in your neighborhood is painting their house and it 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.560 takes the painters three days to paint a house in 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:43.000 your neighborhood, homes roughly of the same size, and you 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:47.080 contact a painter and the painter comes over and goes, well, 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.040 it's gonna take about a month and a half, and 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.120 we're gonna take off all the holidays, we're gonna take 0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.720 off all the weekends. We're gonna be real thorough with 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:59.400 how we do it. But it's gonna take much longer 0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:02.359 than every everyone else on your block. I wonder if 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.800 they just say, Okay, yeah, fine, I'm. 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.639 Not surprised with the poor performance of our government at 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.600 the local and at the state level because they know. 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:15.360 You look at the turnout in this election, sixty percent 0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:20.959 plus of the population doesn't care. It doesn't matter. They 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:25.840 do not even participate in the process to replace the 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:28.520 buffoons that are in charge. That is a vote of 0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:31.560 confidence from the people that don't give a damn. The 0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.600 appay in this state is real, it is. 0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.359 What do you think they do? What do you think 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:41.040 they do if let's say a squatter moves into their 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.520 garage when they're on vacation and they come home and 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.680 they go, oh, someone's living in my garage and they're 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:51.359 doing math and occasionally lighting fires, Well, I guess I 0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:53.639 can't park the car there anymore. I'll park it on 0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:57.199 the street and we'll just leave our unhoused neighbor in 0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:00.600 the garage. Is that how they run their own own life? 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.880 Probably not. Well. If that's not how you run your 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.520 own life, why the hell do you run the state 0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:07.000 that way? 0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:11.800 Pornia to have final numbers, but we know tonight that 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:15.080
