First thing is we're 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: going to talk to Roger Bailey. Roger Bailey is an 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: attorney for many of the Pacific Palisades' residents who were 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: burned out in the Big Fire. Gavin Newsom claims publicly 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: that he sent one hundred and ten engines and twenty 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: five hundred National guardsmen. They were prepositioned to the Palisades 16 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: before January seventh. We have a little clip this is 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: from the Sean Ryan podcast where he says exactly that 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: told you twenty five on I deployed during the fires. 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: They were there before the fires occurred in La I 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: pre deployed one hundred and ten engines pre deployed. 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: The National Guard was part of the pre deployment. Okay, 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten engines, twenty five hundred National Guard troops. 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many people I know got 24 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: burned out in the fire. And everybody I've talked to 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: never saw a single fire engine from anywhere, let alone 26 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: National guardsmen in the day or days before the January 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: seventh fire. Let's go to Roger Bailey, who's the lead 28 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: attorney on this case. Roger, how are you. 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 3: I'm good, John, Good to talk to you again. 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: Well, you requested under the Public Records Act. I guess 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: all the documents to support Newsom's claims of one hundred 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: and ten fire engines twenty five hundred National guardsmen in 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: the Palisades pre deployed. What did you find? 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: Well, like you, everybody we've talked to, we represent over 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: three thousand Palisades fire victims, and every one of them 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 3: said there was no fire presence before the fire started, 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: not from any agency. So this interview was given by 38 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: Newsom on the Sean Ryan podcast. My wife happened to 39 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: hear it and said, you know, listen Newsom says he 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: sent twenty five hundred National guardsmen and one hundred and 41 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: ten engines. And I said, well, that doesn't square with 42 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: anything we've heard. So we sent this the records request off. 43 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: We got the records yesterday and it shows that there 44 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 3: were forty five engines deployed to southern California. None to 45 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: the Palisades. They were the closest area. They sent, you know, 46 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 3: a couple of strike teams to Santa Clarita, but the 47 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 3: other forty five engines were San Diego, Riverside. They were 48 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 3: all over the place, none to the Palisades. And the 49 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: reason this is problematic is because we had in the 50 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 3: Palisades the Lachman fire that people remember burning on January first, 51 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: at burned eight acres. So if you're gonna send resources anywhere, 52 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 3: you send them to where there was just a recent fire, 53 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: not to Riverside or not to Santa Clarita. But let's 54 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: get the resources there at that burns card they had 55 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: nobody there. 56 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have a list in the document you 57 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: sent us that they sent strike teams to Ventura County, 58 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: San Bernardino County, Saint Luis Obispo, San Diego, County, Riverside County, 59 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: Orange County, and in La County. They were staged in 60 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: Santa Clarita, nothing near Pacific Palisades. So did he completely 61 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: lie in that Sean Ryan interview. 62 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: Well, it sure sounds like it to me, he says 63 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: repeatedly in a couple different spots. He's very proud that 64 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 3: he preyed. And he keeps saying LA. I pre deployed 65 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: National guardsmen to l A. I pre deployed one hundred 66 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: and ten engines to LA. But but but as we see, 67 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: the only things that went to LA were two strike 68 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: teams to Santa Clarita. Nothing went to the Palisades, nothing 69 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 3: went to Altadena. Uh so, you know, his whole point 70 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: was apparently you know, look, I was on top of it. 71 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 3: I had the resources there in advance. He didn't have 72 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 3: anything there in advance. And he also, if you as 73 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: you heard, he said the fire started on federal land, 74 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: which is also not true. 75 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: Oh he said that too, Yeah, I said that. 76 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: He said this fire ignited on federal property, and we'd 77 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: noticed as Topega Canyon State Park. So anyway, there's just 78 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 3: so many different lies that that came out of that interview. 79 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: We're still pulling them out. But yeah, it's it's unbelievable. 80 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: It is unbelievable. It's it's in the middle of a rant, 81 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: of course, against Trump's use of the National Guard in 82 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: Los Angeles over the ice raids, and then he went 83 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: off about how he properly used the National Guard in 84 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: pre deployment for the fires. Do you have anybody else 85 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: in government making this claim, anybody that's got any proof 86 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: that Newsome is anywhere close to the truth in any sense. 87 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: No, it's quite the opposite. 88 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 4: It's the opposite. 89 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, everything that comes out of this 90 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: guy's mouth just as seems to be a lie. And 91 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: it's just when we heard this, we said, let's get 92 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: the records from the state. Maybe maybe we're missing something. 93 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: But when they showed up yesterday, just as we suspected, 94 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: none of those resources, no National Guards, troops, no engines 95 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: were sent to the Palisades, not one. 96 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: Are you deposing people yet in government? You know, in 97 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: the Fire Department, the DWP, the Governor's office, I mean, like, 98 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: what is the I know this is going to take 99 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: quite a while, but how does a lawsuit like this 100 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: progress when you have so many plaintiffs and such a 101 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: complicated case and such a long investigation, like where are 102 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: we now and how long is it going to take 103 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: before there's you know, some time some type of presentation. 104 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: Well, because we have, by our best estimate, there's going 105 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: to be over ten thousand total plaintiffs in the court, 106 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: there's one judge handling all the cases, and that that 107 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 3: judge has said, we're going to hold off on what 108 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: we call discovery, which is where we take depositions. We're 109 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: going to hold that until we've got an accurate count 110 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 3: of everybody in the case, which should be you know 111 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 3: by I'm going to say September, and then we should 112 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: have a lift of the discovery stay and then we 113 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 3: can start taking depositions. In the meantime, while that stay's 114 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: been in effect, we've been using the Public Records Act 115 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 3: request to start to gather records. But the depots will 116 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 3: start and everybody's going to be deposed. We're going to 117 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: oppose you know, the people from l A f D, 118 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 3: people from the state, people from the city. It's going 119 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: to be a long process, but the more information. 120 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: We get are you're going to depose public officials. Public 121 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: officials like Kristin Crowley, who was the fire chief, Karen 122 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: Bass the mayor. Do they get posed as well? 123 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: All of them, every one of them are going to 124 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: be deposed. 125 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: Now, Karen Dass was supposed to be deposed for the 126 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: the federal judge was investigating where all the homeless money went, 127 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: and she hired eleven attorneys to get in the way. 128 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: And then the plaintiffs decided to drop that request because 129 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: it would take several months to fight her all all 130 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: the all the appeals that the eleven attorneys would make. 131 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: You think you're going to run into that kind of 132 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: behavior with Bass or anybody else. 133 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I expect they're going to try to obstruct our efforts, 134 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: but ain't gonna happen. We're going to take all of 135 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 3: their depositions as long as it takes. You know, the 136 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: people of the Palisades deserve and the people in Altadena, 137 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 3: all of the fire victims deserve answers from the leaders 138 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: directly and not in the form of a scripted press conference. 139 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 3: They need to be put under a hot white light 140 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: and cross examined. 141 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: And they will be And who which entities are you 142 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: specifically suing? 143 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: So right now we've got in the case the LEDWP, 144 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 3: City Los Angeles and the State of California. There are 145 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 3: also going to be the two county agencies added, the 146 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: Las Virgines Municipal Water District and La County Water Works 147 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: for some areas in Malibu, Big Rock, and so forth. 148 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: But right now, the two primary defendants in the case 149 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,359 Speaker 3: currently are State of California. 150 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: And LEDWP LADWP, which is run by the city. 151 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: Correct it is the City of Los Angeles acting by 152 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 3: and through the Department of Water and Power. Yep. 153 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, And so this lawsuit, I guess is going to 154 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: be going on for several years. 155 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: Well, historically these wildfire cases do take several years, and 156 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: it's just the sheer volume of victims that are, you know, involved, 157 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: you know, you've got to manage. And these are all 158 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: individual cases. It's not a class action, so that each 159 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: case stands on its own. Each case has to be prosecuted. 160 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: Wait, but you've got ten thousand, you said. 161 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's over ten thousand individual cases, you know, and 162 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 3: this is just our rough math. Our firm has over 163 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: three thousand, three hundred and then some of the others, 164 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 3: you know, three thousand and two thousand. So by our 165 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: rough math, we've got over ten thousand individual plainfs all 166 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 3: consolidated before the same Judge's good, it's just the logistics 167 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 3: of it is what creates the problem. But we're moving. 168 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: It's what we want. Hearings every thirty days.

There, an actual joke 379 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: that was kind of funny. 380 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 12: What you know, I'm just not into self utilation. 381 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: Not many people are, there's a few, but all right, 382 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 1: then she's asked if she's looking at another office. 383 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 18: You announced yesterday, you made an announcement that you're not 384 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 18: running for the governor of California. Correct, even though in 385 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 18: early polling you beat every other handed by double digits, 386 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 18: you said you're going to set this one out. 387 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 12: Why are you saying this? 388 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 18: Are you saving yourself for a different office? 389 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 12: That might be? 390 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: That's what everybody, listen to the audience. They want her 391 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: to run for president. They want her to be president 392 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: of the United States. They should all be departed, they 393 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: should have their vote taken away. I will trade that 394 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: whole audience for you know, give me five hundred illegal aliens, 395 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: Give me five hundred convicted felons, give them the vote. Jesus, 396 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 1: all right, continue. 397 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 18: But obviously people will project onto. 398 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 12: And honestly that it's it's more perhaps basic than that. 399 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 12: I am Listen, I am a devout public servant. I 400 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 12: have spent my entire career in service of the people. 401 00:21:53,800 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: And I thought it, I'm a devout public servant, my 402 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: entire career in service of other people, which is what 403 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: a public servant is. I'm glad she's got two sentences, 404 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: two ways of explaining the same concept. All right, now 405 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: she's back to normal. That was an aberration that first clip. 406 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: Must have been a writer she had who put in 407 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: those jokes. All right, go back. 408 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 12: I am a devout public servant. I have spent my 409 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 12: entire career in service of the people, and I thought 410 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 12: a lot about running for governor. I love my state, 411 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 12: I love California. I've served as just elected district attorney, 412 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 12: attorney general, and senator. But to be very candid with. 413 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: You, I because otherwise I'm not you know, when I. 414 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 12: Was a young in my career, I had to defend 415 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 12: my decision to become a prosecutor with my family. And 416 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 12: one of the points that I made is why is 417 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 12: it then, when we think we want to improve a 418 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 12: system or change it, that we're always on the outside 419 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 12: of the well. 420 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: On a second, when did she have to defend because 421 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: she was a prosecutor. 422 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 17: She was saying she had to defend it to her family, 423 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 17: Like the decision to become she didn't have a family, 424 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 17: she wasn't married, she didn't have kids. Maybe her parents her. 425 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: Parents because she was a grown woman, she was probably 426 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: in her thirties. She's I didn't defend my decision, but 427 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: to have a job, all right. 428 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 12: Continue light on bended knee or trying to break down 429 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 12: the door. Shouldn't we also be inside the system? And 430 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 12: that has been my career, And recently I made the 431 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 12: decision that I just, for now, I don't want to 432 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 12: go back in the system. I think it's broken. I 433 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 12: think it's there's so much I mean, there are so 434 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 12: many good people who are public servants, and I'm one 435 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 12: of such good work teachers and firefighters and police officers 436 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 12: and nurses and scientists, scientists. 437 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: Scientists, scientists, scientists, and. 438 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 12: So it's not about them. But you know, I believe, yes, 439 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 12: And I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, 440 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 12: our systems would be strong enough to defend our most 441 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 12: fundamental principles. And I think right now that well, I'm 442 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 12: getting they're not as strong as they need to be. 443 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 12: And I just don't want to for now, I don't 444 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 12: want to go back in the system. I want to 445 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 12: I want to travel the country. I want to listen 446 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 12: to people, I want to touch work people, and I 447 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 12: don't want to be a transaction where I'm asking for their. 448 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: Vote she's talking and listening to people. Well, if you're 449 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: doing that, what are you going to do that for? 450 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: What's what's the reason? 451 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: Well? 452 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if you're not running for anything anymore, 453 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: and you had your chance to talk and listen to 454 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: people and they said, hey, what would you do different 455 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: than Joe Biden? 456 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 8: Oh? 457 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: Nothing? Well that's why you lost. If you had made 458 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: a plausible case on how you were going to do 459 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: things differently, you could have won. Potentially. No, everything's fine. 460 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: Why you're you're gonna except you know what do I know? 461 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: You hear that crowd right, they're ready to carry off? 462 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's do this next one. Uh So Colbert 463 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: follows up on this idea of the system is broken. 464 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 18: To hear you say that it's broken, to hear you 465 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 18: say that our systems aren't strong enough. 466 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: Is heroin? 467 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 12: Well, but it's also evident, isn't it? 468 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 9: No? 469 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 17: And it is, and it is harrowing, I mean, and 470 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 17: it is. 471 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 18: I mean there's there, there, there there, there's there's almost no. 472 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 12: But it doesn't mean we give up. That's not my. 473 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 18: Point, because I'm hearing like, you don't want to be part. 474 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 12: Of No, absolutely not. I'm always going to be part 475 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 12: of the fight. That is not that I'm absolutely going 476 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 12: to be part of the fight, but I think that 477 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 12: we have to acknowledge and agree that. I mean, look, 478 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 12: the power is with the people. That has always been 479 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 12: the ideal, and I say the strength of our nation 480 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 12: of America that we believe fundamentally the powers with the 481 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 12: people are. 482 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: People actually in the audience nodding along as if she 483 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: makes sense.
