1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.720
I hate seven on People because he sounds so good,
2
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.080
and yet I've got three voices in this first hour
3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:08.679
that I gotta make as much room as I can for.
4
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.000
But we want to make sure that we just love
5
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.480
on people. Bryson all three hours today tapping into his
6
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.120
amazing catalog, and we lost people of Bryson yesterday in
7
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.000
case you have not heard, at the age of seventy five,
8
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:26.280
and getting people sound so good, and we're gonna be
9
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.280
again playing some of the best of his stuff as
10
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.399
he moved through these three hours today. Again, I thought
11
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.880
some perison with the family.
12
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.359
Of the now late great Pivot.
13
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.119
Bryson can't imagine my life without people on the soundtrack,
14
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.759
and I suspect me to you feel the same way, Dominique.
15
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.000
Prima's here and you're in Shropshire, is here, NiCoT like
16
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.759
Corte is here. And I want to advance this because
17
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.200
they all whost shows, so they know this clockworse gets
18
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.479
away from you real fast.
19
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.320
And so let me jump right quick to this progressive question.
20
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.200
I raise a moment goo, Dominique, what does this race
21
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.359
here in La Nithey? Rahman jumped in, thinking she's gonna
22
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.679
be Zarae Mondamie. I called her thirsty because at one
23
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.840
point she had endorsed Karen Bass and then four or
24
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.200
five weeks later, you just, you know, pull your endorsement
25
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.239
and decide you're gonna run against her. I never quite
26
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.159
understood that. Steward, don't get it. But it serves her
27
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.000
right as far as I'm concerned. She got to smack
28
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.920
down yesterday. That's just me being honest about it. But again, progressives,
29
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.640
you know, after the Mandamis went in New York, we're
30
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.799
saying we're here, we're taking over America. She stepped into
31
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.599
that frame. She crashed and burned.
32
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.040
But I but Nthia Raman is not a true progressive.
33
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.959
I mean, in my opinion, she entered the race. She
34
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.200
entered the city council as a progressive because she had
35
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.239
the backing of the Democratic Socialists of America. They did
36
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:43.519
not formally endorse her this time, although they sheepishly said
37
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.920
you should vote for her. But if you look at
38
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.680
the police the vote record, her vote record is the
39
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.439
same as the mayor. So either the mayor is a
40
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.920
progressive and Nithia Raman is a progressive, or neither are,
41
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.000
and you make your choice. We had progressives in the race,
42
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.799
but they weren't well funded. And if you look at
43
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.760
the progressives that had the dollars, like Kenneth Mahea, the controller,
44
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.319
they did very well. Like Marissa Roy who is running
45
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.919
for city attorney, they did very well. Look at the
46
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.280
city council here in La progressives are running the board.
47
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.439
So the issue is are you really a progressive? You
48
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.919
have to be an actual progressive, not just in name
49
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.560
or image, but in policy.
50
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.639
With the Blackpack Organization agent you tracked this stuff bard anybody.
51
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.000
As I said earlier, and.
52
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.919
I have come to believe over the course of my
53
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.520
career that in politics you got to be careful what
54
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.919
you ask for. The Bass campaign wouldn't say this publicly,
55
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.919
but we all know they wanted Spenser Pratt. They don't
56
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:36.680
want Nithiy Rahman.
57
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:37.520
They got their wish.
58
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.120
Now what, Yeah, I think that you know, the thing
59
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.639
that I said earlier is that this race is going
60
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.919
to become very ugly, very quickly. And there is a
61
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.479
question about how not only how the mayor's campaign responds,
62
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.879
but how Los Angeles responds as a city when Maga
63
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:58.599
style racism enters into into our city. I also think
64
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.919
that there's a question Dominque. We talked last night about
65
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.159
the urgency or the lack of urgency around this mayor's race,
66
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.879
and that the voters themselves didn't seem to feel the
67
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.560
urgency of backing and supporting mayor Baths And I think
68
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.840
that that's true of the black community as well. And
69
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.719
I think that as we think about the racism that
70
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.159
is about to pour into the city, the black community
71
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.159
in Los Angeles needs to decide how it is going
72
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:27.360
to respond to protecting a mayor, protecting the city's first
73
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.000
black woman mayor, but also in saying we don't do
74
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.680
that here right and there is some urgency with which
75
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.400
this community needs to organize itself to be able to
76
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:37.759
withstand what is about to come.
77
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.120
I predict and be bold and say it right now.
78
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.879
I predict that when this racist campaign that Spencer Prats
79
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.719
gonna run really opens up full throttle, it's gonna wake
80
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.800
these negroes up. I predict that we're gonna wake up
81
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.240
in LA and take this more seriously in the general
82
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.759
that we took it in the primary. I hope I'm
83
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.520
right about that. We shall see. Let me ask you
84
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.759
a quick follow up, Adrian. I'm looking at questions from
85
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.000
the audience right now, listeners, what does the panel say
86
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.400
think of shy Spencer Shy Spencer.
87
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.080
Voters i e. White folk who are backing him quietly.
88
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.879
I think that that that is you know, certainly you
89
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.439
know that those voters are there. I'm not sure that
90
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.879
so many of them are so shy though, Like I like,
91
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.160
there are people were willing to come out and back
92
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.079
him publicly. But you know, there's a set of there
93
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.560
is a anti Bass vote that's out there right and
94
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.240
we know that, and whether they're shy or not, like
95
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.680
that has to be that has to be addressed. So I,
96
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.439
you know, I think it's there. I think that you know,
97
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.600
they'll hold a lot where maybe they really should be
98
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.160
coming over to given what is at stake in the city,
99
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:41.839
they should be coming over the baths. They may not,
100
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.040
but again that is about how the mayor builds her coalition.
101
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.959
Ni Quota la Quarte is my White House correspondent, not
102
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.720
to Quarte. Give me your sense, based on how Donald
103
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.800
Trump has shown up already in Trump two point zero,
104
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.800
your sense of how Elon Musk Donald Trump are gonna
105
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.800
put their thumb on the skin in the mayor's race.
106
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.759
Now that Spencer Pratt appears to be the guy, just
107
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.480
like Donald Trump did with Stephen Hilton running for governor.
108
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.040
Hilton is gonna be our guest near the end of
109
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.879
our second hour, so stick around for that. But again,
110
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.279
he's been you know, he's he's in that, He's in
111
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.240
that frame, and so I expect, particularly giving the Donald Trump,
112
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.600
you know, try to smack Karen Bass down. You know,
113
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.560
some months ago around the fires, my senses that Elon
114
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.920
Musk and Donald Trump are gonna get engaged in a
115
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.519
local mayor's race here in LA.
116
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.639
But you cover the White House. What say you about
117
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.360
the Trump effect?
118
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.759
I mean, I would not be surprised if they turned
119
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.199
California into their MAGA playground.
120
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:38.720
You've already alluded to it.
121
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.560
The fact that this president has endorsed and fully embraced
122
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:49.319
Fox News hosts Steve Hilton, the fact that this president's
123
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.480
gone on the record saying that, you know, he.
124
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.279
Likes Spencer Spencer Pratt.
125
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.920
I would not be surprised if Donald Trump campaigns in
126
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:04.399
California himself. You know, California be a major prize for
127
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:05.759
the MAGA movement.
128
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:07.920
You know, the kind.
129
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:13.959
Of weaponization of government that they could do in California.
130
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.360
The way in which they would be able to turn agencies,
131
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:23.240
California agencies against the people, you know, is some scary stuff.
132
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.319
And for folks that did not show out to vote.
133
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.480
I was looking at some of the returns. It looks
134
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.120
like less than ten percent, more like seven percent of
135
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.959
voters turned out here in.
136
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.240
LA for the election yesterday.
137
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:40.879
You know, we've got to figure that out, and we
138
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.480
got to figure out to figure that out quick, in
139
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:47.600
a hurry, because the MAGA movement is motivated and Steve
140
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.720
Hilton and Spencer Pratt are there guys in this race.
141
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.959
And Donald Trump is not going to pass up an
142
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.800
opportunity to take it to hollyod would to take it
143
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.639
to uh the tech.
144
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:03.480
Industry that's here.
145
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:04.000
That's right.
146
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.639
Uh, there's a there's a lot to be gained.
147
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.199
By uh getting a grip on California for the MAC.
148
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.959
Well, he loves the tech bros. Hollywood not so much.
149
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.240
So we will see, to your point how he leans
150
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.439
in when we come forward to talk more expressly about
151
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.360
the governor's race. Uh, that was the big prize here
152
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.839
in California yesterday. The whole nation watching to see who
153
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.120
is going to succeed Gavin Newsom. At the moment, Steve
154
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.040
Hilton is pretty much locked in. Uh the Republican that
155
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.079
n Quota just spoke of. Is Is it gonna be
156
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.920
Hove Vissara? Is it going to be Tom Steyrett. We'll
157
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.519
try to handicap the governor's race with Dominique and Adrian
158
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.680
and knee quarterli Quarte when we come forty on Tavis Mint.
159
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.560
Indeed on this special post election day roundtable, Dominique di
160
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.720
Prima Adrian Shropshire and the quarterlin Quarte Adrian the Governor's race.
161
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:50.800
So Hilton, who'll be our guest?
162
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:51.560
Uh?
163
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.680
In our second hour? We got two gubernator candidates?
164
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.800
Well, kish A Lance Bottoms joins us next hour down
165
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:56.360
in Georgia.
166
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:56.920
Uh.
167
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.279
And we'll close the second hour with with Steve Hilllton,
168
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:01.600
who is.
169
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.120
The front runner here in California.
170
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.120
So let's assume that the numbers hold up as they
171
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.560
are right now, still forty percent last I check of ballist.
172
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.160
The still being counted can be a couple days before
173
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.839
we figure this out. But if it is in fact
174
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.439
Hilton and Bessaer, what do you see?
175
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.720
Well, I think it certainly is Hilton and Bessara I
176
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.199
think there are too many votes that Steyer House to
177
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.680
make up. And it's unfortunate for the amount of money
178
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:27.920
that he spent in this.
179
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.319
Race to fifteen and I don't mean two fifteen cents.
180
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.320
Either, fifteen million dollars.
181
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:34.440
You know.
182
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.559
One of the things that when when people were handwringing
183
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.480
at the beginning of this race about we're going to
184
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.320
see two Republicans at the top, and it was across
185
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.279
the country, people were like, how can this be? It
186
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.320
was never gonna be. And I think that's one of you.
187
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.559
You never bought that. I don't know.
188
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.840
No, that was never gonna be. And the reason is
189
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.639
because Republicans have a ceiling in the state. And even
190
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:58.120
though we saw last night doctor Quadia talked about, you know,
191
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.519
the Hilton getting twenty seven percent, as it stands right now,
192
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.200
Chad Bianco getting eleven percent, and what that might mean
193
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.200
for California, the reality is that that is the norm
194
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.039
for Republicans in this state and gubernatorial race. So we
195
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.200
have Trump who got thirty percent of the vote in
196
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:21.799
California in the twenty twenty two gubernatorial race. You had
197
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.519
the Republican get forty percent. So that's about on par
198
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.600
there is a ceiling for what Republicans can pull out
199
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.080
of this state. I think this question of how much
200
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.279
does the national Party, how much does the administration lean in,
201
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:36.799
and does that help to move But Donald Trump is
202
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.360
also a weight around the neck of a lot of
203
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.039
people right now. He is unpopular and he's also unpopular
204
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.480
in this state. So I think that we're what we're
205
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.759
seeing right. It seems to me, right that we have
206
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.080
a pretty normal you know, with some of the stuff
207
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.279
set aside, right, a pretty normal governor's race in the
208
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:51.799
state of Coulty.
209
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.039
Adrian thinks it's a foregone conclusion Dominate that it will
210
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.519
in fact be Steve Hilton, the Republican and Javier Sayer
211
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.840
of the Biden administration JI secretary back in the day.
212
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.240
If it is not Hilton and Sarah and turns out
213
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.519
to be Hilton and the billionaire Tom Steyr.
214
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.879
What do you see, Well, that would be my preferred choice,
215
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.200
because I see progressives having a louder voice and progressive
216
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.600
policies win or lose. I mean, because you're talking about
217
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.639
things like single payer healthcare, you're talking about those things
218
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.639
won't even be in the conversation if it's Besetta versus Hilton,
219
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.879
it's going to be about defending Maga, the same old
220
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.240
blah blah blah. We have to defeat Trump or else
221
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.799
it's the most important election of your lifetime. We're sick
222
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.639
of that. Let's talk policy, and if Styr is in
223
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:37.440
the race, we'll be talking about the environment. We'll be
224
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.360
talking about protecting the environment, We'll be talking about single payer,
225
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.559
We'll be talking about real criminal justice reform. And that's
226
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.399
what I would love to see. I don't think, you know,
227
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.240
it may be a long shot for Styr to be
228
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.279
in second place, but I do think at the end
229
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.200
of the day, Beseeta ends up in first place.
230
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.200
I agree you think you think he moves ahead of Hilton.
231
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.919
Absolutely at the moment, Hilton's number one, but him. We're
232
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.679
getting you called la Quote's take on this in Romanian
233
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.080
moments here on Tavis Man, you called lack Quarte. My
234
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.240
time is getting really tied here. You've heard Dominique, You've
235
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.759
heard Adrian's take on the governor's race, whether it's going
236
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.919
to be Steve Hilton and Tom Steyer, Steve Hilton, Javier.
237
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.200
But Sarah, what do you? What do you What's what's your.
238
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.960
Takeaway, Well, I mean, I think it may very well
239
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.360
end up being Hilton and Besserah, but I wouldn't count
240
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.600
Tom Steyer out.
241
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.000
We know that there's still a lot of ballots that
242
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:26.440
are out.
243
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:28.960
One of the things that Dominique de Prima was saying
244
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.039
yesterday during our special election night coverage is that some
245
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:37.120
of the earlier ballots tend to be early voters, older voters,
246
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.240
more conservative voters. For folks who may have decided in
247
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.080
the final weeks of the election. There's a sense that
248
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:50.759
that may benefit Styre enormously. But you know, we'll see
249
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.600
how the numbers bear out. But Tavis, I think unity
250
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.480
is going to be very important moving forward. A lot
251
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.320
of folks on these internet streets wondering, Okay, if it's
252
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.320
not Tom Steyer in the top two, is Tom going to, uh,
253
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.279
you know, spend his enormous wealth to help fellow Democrat
254
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:14.600
Javier butsera when the governor's mansion in Sacramento, Folks are
255
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.279
looking for that kind of leadership, Folks with Democrats to
256
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.840
unite around every Democrat in the state.
257
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.519
I'm glad you closed. I'm glad you raised that. We're
258
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:22.240
closed on this note.
259
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.679
I've been thinking about that, and frankly, here I am
260
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.600
a gambit predictions. I don't see it, Javierversara. I mean
261
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.440
Tom Styr has gone in so hard on Hier, but Sara,
262
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.840
I don't know that I see the unity. Let's just
263
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:35.639
call it what it is, Dominique. You know, you know
264
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.080
and I know it, Javier. But Sara and Antonio Viergosa do.
265
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:39.879
Not like each other. He just called it what he
266
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.759
is the choir. They don't.
267
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.600
A lot of these Democrats to the quotalized point. Agent
268
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.840
made this point earlier. Took a long time to get
269
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:49.519
out of this race.
270
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.559
Uh, they were being asked to stand down. Nobody wanted
271
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:53.120
to stand down.
272
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:54.919
Marco Rubio is Secretary of State.
273
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.799
I get it, but he's but they're also Republicans. He's
274
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.519
a Democrats. That's my point.
275
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.399
These are democrats sootalized, brasing and serious issue. Do you
276
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.399
see a way to do you see it on ramp
277
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:08.480
to unity Dominie?
278
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.200
You know, with there's always an on ramped unity when
279
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.399
when it's practically important, I you know, I think that
280
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.360
they should. But you're right, we are like herding cats
281
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:22.639
when it comes to Democrats. We don't fall in line
282
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.759
agent you see unity.
283
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.720
I don't think they have a choice.
284
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.000
And I think that we talked yesterday about how a
285
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.159
lot of the Democratic heavyweights in the state did not
286
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.840
put their thumb on the scale in the primary. They
287
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.720
will do that now, Yeah, I hope so.
288
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.559
You think so absolutely, So Pelosi shows up, Gavin shows up,
289
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:38.320
everybody leans in.
290
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.679
Now, I agree, we're gonna say something.
291
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.480
Well, I think, but I think there are some endorsements
292
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.559
that may be more challenging than others. Remember, uh, former
293
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.320
President Joe Biden did not endorse his former HHS secretary,
294
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.879
Javier but Sera in this primary election. I didn't see
295
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.080
that he endorsed deb Holland either, who has now the
296
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.879
Democratic nominee for governor of New Mexico. And so a
297
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:07.799
real question about the value of the endorsement of the
298
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:12.039
former president. But even the former Vice President Kamala Harris
299
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.320
did not weigh in on the governor's race here in Westlifornia.
300
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.840
Will make a difference, No, We'll see, We'll see what changes. Quick.
301
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:20.080
Two quick footnotes here.
302
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.200
The Biden team did have a good night last night.
303
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.679
If you if you, if you look at the people
304
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.799
who are in his cabinet, they put much one everywhere.
305
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.720
He did endorse Keisha Lan's body.
306
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.720
I about to say that, that's why you're a great
307
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:30.320
talk show host.
308
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.399
That was that was my teas. For the next hour.
309
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.919
He did endorse Keisha Lance Bottoms who George Tavis by
310
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:41.360
the next hour, Thank you dominic for stepping on my teas.
311
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.320
Uh, It's okay. I am surrounded by the best.
312
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.000
Uh.
313
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.879
That's why I'm blessed to always be in conversation with
314
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.919
Dobby the Premia. Adrian Sharpshire nee cordlat Quarte Actould mentioned
315
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.879
another quick footnote.
316
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:55.799
Uh, the doctor.
317
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.120

He won. He won, So.

I think Adrian Shropshire.

election day roundtable when we come ford a busy next hour,
327

We'll start with Miguel Santanam talking about the role the
328
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.279
proper rold responsibility of philanthropy at a moment such as this,
329
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.440
when our institutions seemed to be failing us. We'll talk
330
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.480
to Keisha Lands bottoms down in Georgia. We'll talk to
331
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.440
Steve Hilton here in California, only on Tavis smile
1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.720
I hate seven on People because he sounds so good,

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.080
and yet I've got three voices in this first hour
3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:08.679
that I gotta make as much room as I can for.
4
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.000
But we want to make sure that we just love
5
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.480

00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:26.280
and getting people sound so good, and we're gonna be
9
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.280
again playing some of the best of his stuff as
10
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.399
he moved through these three hours today. Again, I thought
11
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.880
some perison with the family.
12
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.359
Of the now late great Pivot.
13
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.119
Bryson can't imagine my life without people on the soundtrack,
14
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.759
and I suspect me to you feel the same way, Dominique.
15
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.000
Prima's here and you're in Shropshire, is here, NiCoT like
16
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.759
Corte is here. And I want to advance this because
17
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.200
they all whost shows, so they know this clockworse gets
18
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.479
away from you real fast.
19
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.320
And so let me jump right quick to this progressive question.
20
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.200
I raise a moment goo, Dominique, what does this race
21
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.359
here in La Nithey? Rahman jumped in, thinking she's gonna
22
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.679
be Zarae Mondamie. I called her thirsty because at one
23
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.840
point she had endorsed Karen Bass and then four or
24
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.200
five weeks later, you just, you know, pull your endorsement
25
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.239
and decide you're gonna run against her. I never quite
26
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.159
understood that. Steward, don't get it. But it serves her
27
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.000
right as far as I'm concerned. She got to smack
28
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.920
down yesterday. That's just me being honest about it. But again, progressives,
29
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.640
you know, after the Mandamis went in New York, we're
30
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.799
saying we're here, we're taking over America. She stepped into
31
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.599
that frame. She crashed and burned.
32
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.040
But I but Nthia Raman is not a true progressive.
33
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.959
I mean, in my opinion, she entered the race. She
34
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.200
entered the city council as a progressive because she had
35
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.239
the backing of the Democratic Socialists of America. They did
36
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:43.519
not formally endorse her this time, although they sheepishly said
37
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.920
you should vote for her. But if you look at
38
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.680
the police the vote record, her vote record is the
39
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.439
same as the mayor. So either the mayor is a
40
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.920
progressive and Nithia Raman is a progressive, or neither are,
41
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.000
and you make your choice. We had progressives in the race,
42
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.799
but they weren't well funded. And if you look at
43
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.760
the progressives that had the dollars, like Kenneth Mahea, the controller,
44
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.319
they did very well. Like Marissa Roy who is running
45
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.919
for city attorney, they did very well. Look at the
46
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.280
city council here in La progressives are running the board.
47
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.439
So the issue is are you really a progressive? You
48
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.919
have to be an actual progressive, not just in name
49
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.560
or image, but in policy.
50
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.639
With the Blackpack Organization agent you tracked this stuff bard anybody.
51
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.000
As I said earlier, and.
52
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.919
I have come to believe over the course of my
53
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.520
career that in politics you got to be careful what
54
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.919
you ask for. The Bass campaign wouldn't say this publicly,
55
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.919
but we all know they wanted Spenser Pratt. They don't
56
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:36.680
want Nithiy Rahman.
57
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:37.520
They got their wish.
58
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.120
Now what, Yeah, I think that you know, the thing
59
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.639
that I said earlier is that this race is going
60
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.919
to become very ugly, very quickly. And there is a
61
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.479
question about how not only how the mayor's campaign responds,
62
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.879
but how Los Angeles responds as a city when Maga
63
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:58.599
style racism enters into into our city. I also think
64
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.919
that there's a question Dominque. We talked last night about
65
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.159
the urgency or the lack of urgency around this mayor's race,
66
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.879
and that the voters themselves didn't seem to feel the
67
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.560
urgency of backing and supporting mayor Baths And I think
68
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.840
that that's true of the black community as well. And
69
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.719
I think that as we think about the racism that
70
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.159
is about to pour into the city, the black community
71
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.159
in Los Angeles needs to decide how it is going
72
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:27.360
to respond to protecting a mayor, protecting the city's first
73
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.000
black woman mayor, but also in saying we don't do
74
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.680
that here right and there is some urgency with which
75
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.400
this community needs to organize itself to be able to
76
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:37.759
withstand what is about to come.
77
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.120
I predict and be bold and say it right now.
78
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.879
I predict that when this racist campaign that Spencer Prats
79
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.719
gonna run really opens up full throttle, it's gonna wake
80
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.800
these negroes up. I predict that we're gonna wake up
81
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.240
in LA and take this more seriously in the general
82
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.759
that we took it in the primary. I hope I'm
83
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.520
right about that. We shall see. Let me ask you
84
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.759
a quick follow up, Adrian. I'm looking at questions from
85
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.000
the audience right now, listeners, what does the panel say
86
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.400
think of shy Spencer Shy Spencer.
87
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.080
Voters i e. White folk who are backing him quietly.
88
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.879
I think that that that is you know, certainly you
89
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.439
know that those voters are there. I'm not sure that
90
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.879
so many of them are so shy though, Like I like,
91
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.160
there are people were willing to come out and back
92
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.079
him publicly. But you know, there's a set of there
93
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.560
is a anti Bass vote that's out there right and
94
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.240
we know that, and whether they're shy or not, like
95
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.680
that has to be that has to be addressed. So I,
96
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.439
you know, I think it's there. I think that you know,
97
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.600
they'll hold a lot where maybe they really should be
98
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.160
coming over to given what is at stake in the city,
99
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:41.839
they should be coming over the baths. They may not,
100
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.040
but again that is about how the mayor builds her coalition.
101
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.959
Ni Quota la Quarte is my White House correspondent, not
102
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.720
to Quarte. Give me your sense, based on how Donald
103
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.800
Trump has shown up already in Trump two point zero,
104
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.800
your sense of how Elon Musk Donald Trump are gonna
105
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.800
put their thumb on the skin in the mayor's race.
106
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.759
Now that Spencer Pratt appears to be the guy, just
107
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.480
like Donald Trump did with Stephen Hilton running for governor.
108
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.040
Hilton is gonna be our guest near the end of
109
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.879
our second hour, so stick around for that. But again,
110
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.279
he's been you know, he's he's in that, He's in
111
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.240
that frame, and so I expect, particularly giving the Donald Trump,
112
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.600
you know, try to smack Karen Bass down. You know,
113
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.560
some months ago around the fires, my senses that Elon
114
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.920
Musk and Donald Trump are gonna get engaged in a
115
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.519
local mayor's race here in LA.
116
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.639
But you cover the White House. What say you about
117
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.360
the Trump effect?
118
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.759
I mean, I would not be surprised if they turned
119
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.199
California into their MAGA playground.
120
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:38.720
You've already alluded to it.
121
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.560
The fact that this president has endorsed and fully embraced
122
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:49.319
Fox News hosts Steve Hilton, the fact that this president's
123
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.480
gone on the record saying that, you know, he.
124
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.279
Likes Spencer Spencer Pratt.
125
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.920
I would not be surprised if Donald Trump campaigns in
126
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:04.399
California himself. You know, California be a major prize for
127
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:05.759
the MAGA movement.
128
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:07.920
You know, the kind.
129
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:13.959
Of weaponization of government that they could do in California.
130
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.360
The way in which they would be able to turn agencies,
131
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:23.240
California agencies against the people, you know, is some scary stuff.
132
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.319
And for folks that did not show out to vote.
133
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.480
I was looking at some of the returns. It looks
134
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.120
like less than ten percent, more like seven percent of
135
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.959
voters turned out here in.
136
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.240
LA for the election yesterday.
137
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:40.879
You know, we've got to figure that out, and we
138
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.480
got to figure out to figure that out quick, in
139
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:47.600
a hurry, because the MAGA movement is motivated and Steve
140
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.720
Hilton and Spencer Pratt are there guys in this race.
141
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.959
And Donald Trump is not going to pass up an
142
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.800
opportunity to take it to hollyod would to take it
143
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.639
to uh the tech.
144
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:03.480
Industry that's here.
145
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:04.000
That's right.
146
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.639
Uh, there's a there's a lot to be gained.
147
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.199
By uh getting a grip on California for the MAC.
148
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.959
Well, he loves the tech bros. Hollywood not so much.
149
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.240
So we will see, to your point how he leans
150
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.439
in when we come forward to talk more expressly about
151
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.360
the governor's race. Uh, that was the big prize here
152
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.839
in California yesterday. The whole nation watching to see who
153
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.120
is going to succeed Gavin Newsom. At the moment, Steve
154
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.040
Hilton is pretty much locked in. Uh the Republican that
155
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.079
n Quota just spoke of. Is Is it gonna be
156
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.920
Hove Vissara? Is it going to be Tom Steyrett. We'll
157
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.519
try to handicap the governor's race with Dominique and Adrian
158
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.680
and knee quarterli Quarte when we come forty on Tavis Mint.
159
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.560
Indeed on this special post election day roundtable, Dominique di
160
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.720
Prima Adrian Shropshire and the quarterlin Quarte Adrian the Governor's race.
161
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:50.800
So Hilton, who'll be our guest?
162
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:51.560
Uh?
163
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.680
In our second hour? We got two gubernator candidates?
164
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.800
Well, kish A Lance Bottoms joins us next hour down
165
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:56.360
in Georgia.
166
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:56.920
Uh.
167
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.279
And we'll close the second hour with with Steve Hilllton,
168
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:01.600
who is.
169
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.120
The front runner here in California.
170
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.120
So let's assume that the numbers hold up as they
171
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.560
are right now, still forty percent last I check of ballist.
172
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.160
The still being counted can be a couple days before
173
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.839
we figure this out. But if it is in fact
174
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.439
Hilton and Bessaer, what do you see?
175
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.720
Well, I think it certainly is Hilton and Bessara I
176
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.199
think there are too many votes that Steyer House to
177
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.680
make up. And it's unfortunate for the amount of money
178
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:27.920
that he spent in this.
179
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.319
Race to fifteen and I don't mean two fifteen cents.
180
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.320
Either, fifteen million dollars.
181
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:34.440
You know.
182
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.559
One of the things that when when people were handwringing
183
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.480
at the beginning of this race about we're going to
184
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.320
see two Republicans at the top, and it was across
185
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.279
the country, people were like, how can this be? It
186
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.320
was never gonna be. And I think that's one of you.
187
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.559
You never bought that. I don't know.
188
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.840
No, that was never gonna be. And the reason is
189
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.639
because Republicans have a ceiling in the state. And even
190
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:58.120
though we saw last night doctor Quadia talked about, you know,
191
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.519
the Hilton getting twenty seven percent, as it stands right now,
192
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.200
Chad Bianco getting eleven percent, and what that might mean
193
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.200
for California, the reality is that that is the norm
194
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.039
for Republicans in this state and gubernatorial race. So we
195
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.200
have Trump who got thirty percent of the vote in
196
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:21.799
California in the twenty twenty two gubernatorial race. You had
197
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.519
the Republican get forty percent. So that's about on par
198
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.600
there is a ceiling for what Republicans can pull out
199
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.080
of this state. I think this question of how much
200
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.279
does the national Party, how much does the administration lean in,
201
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:36.799
and does that help to move But Donald Trump is
202
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.360
also a weight around the neck of a lot of
203
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.039
people right now. He is unpopular and he's also unpopular
204
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.480
in this state. So I think that we're what we're
205
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.759
seeing right. It seems to me, right that we have
206
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.080
a pretty normal you know, with some of the stuff
207
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.279
set aside, right, a pretty normal governor's race in the
208
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:51.799
state of Coulty.
209
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.039
Adrian thinks it's a foregone conclusion Dominate that it will
210
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.519
in fact be Steve Hilton, the Republican and Javier Sayer
211
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.840
of the Biden administration JI secretary back in the day.
212
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.240
If it is not Hilton and Sarah and turns out
213
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.519
to be Hilton and the billionaire Tom Steyr.
214
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.879
What do you see, Well, that would be my preferred choice,
215
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.200
because I see progressives having a louder voice and progressive
216
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.600
policies win or lose. I mean, because you're talking about
217
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.639
things like single payer healthcare, you're talking about those things
218
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.639
won't even be in the conversation if it's Besetta versus Hilton,
219
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.879
it's going to be about defending Maga, the same old
220
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.240
blah blah blah. We have to defeat Trump or else
221
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.799
it's the most important election of your lifetime. We're sick
222
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.639
of that. Let's talk policy, and if Styr is in
223
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:37.440
the race, we'll be talking about the environment. We'll be
224
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.360
talking about protecting the environment, We'll be talking about single payer,
225
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.559
We'll be talking about real criminal justice reform. And that's
226
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.399
what I would love to see. I don't think, you know,
227
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.240
it may be a long shot for Styr to be
228
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.279
in second place, but I do think at the end
229
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.200
of the day, Beseeta ends up in first place.
230
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.200
I agree you think you think he moves ahead of Hilton.
231
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.919
Absolutely at the moment, Hilton's number one, but him. We're
232
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.679
getting you called la Quote's take on this in Romanian
233
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.080
moments here on Tavis Man, you called lack Quarte. My
234
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.240
time is getting really tied here. You've heard Dominique, You've
235
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.759
heard Adrian's take on the governor's race, whether it's going
236
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.919
to be Steve Hilton and Tom Steyer, Steve Hilton, Javier.
237
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.200
But Sarah, what do you? What do you What's what's your.
238
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.960
Takeaway, Well, I mean, I think it may very well
239
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.360
end up being Hilton and Besserah, but I wouldn't count
240
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.600
Tom Steyer out.
241
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.000
We know that there's still a lot of ballots that
242
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:26.440
are out.
243
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:28.960
One of the things that Dominique de Prima was saying
244
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.039
yesterday during our special election night coverage is that some
245
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:37.120
of the earlier ballots tend to be early voters, older voters,
246
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.240
more conservative voters. For folks who may have decided in
247
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.080
the final weeks of the election. There's a sense that
248
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:50.759
that may benefit Styre enormously. But you know, we'll see
249
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.600
how the numbers bear out. But Tavis, I think unity
250
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.480
is going to be very important moving forward. A lot
251
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.320
of folks on these internet streets wondering, Okay, if it's
252
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.320
not Tom Steyer in the top two, is Tom going to, uh,
253
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.279
you know, spend his enormous wealth to help fellow Democrat
254
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:14.600
Javier butsera when the governor's mansion in Sacramento, Folks are
255
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.279
looking for that kind of leadership, Folks with Democrats to
256
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.840
unite around every Democrat in the state.
257
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.519
I'm glad you closed. I'm glad you raised that. We're
258
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:22.240
closed on this note.
259
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.679
I've been thinking about that, and frankly, here I am
260
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.600
a gambit predictions. I don't see it, Javierversara. I mean
261
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.440
Tom Styr has gone in so hard on Hier, but Sara,
262
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.840
I don't know that I see the unity. Let's just
263
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:35.639
call it what it is, Dominique. You know, you know
264
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.080
and I know it, Javier. But Sara and Antonio Viergosa do.
265
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:39.879
Not like each other. He just called it what he
266
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.759
is the choir. They don't.
267
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.600
A lot of these Democrats to the quotalized point. Agent
268
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.840
made this point earlier. Took a long time to get
269
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:49.519
out of this race.
270
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.559
Uh, they were being asked to stand down. Nobody wanted
271
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:53.120
to stand down.
272
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:54.919
Marco Rubio is Secretary of State.
273
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.799
I get it, but he's but they're also Republicans. He's
274
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.519
a Democrats. That's my point.
275
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.399
These are democrats sootalized, brasing and serious issue. Do you
276
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.399
see a way to do you see it on ramp
277
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:08.480
to unity Dominie?
278
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.200
You know, with there's always an on ramped unity when
279
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.399
when it's practically important, I you know, I think that
280
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.360
they should. But you're right, we are like herding cats
281
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:22.639
when it comes to Democrats. We don't fall in line
282
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.759
agent you see unity.
283
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.720
I don't think they have a choice.
284
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.000
And I think that we talked yesterday about how a
285
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.159
lot of the Democratic heavyweights in the state did not
286
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.840
put their thumb on the scale in the primary. They
287
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.720
will do that now, Yeah, I hope so.
288
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.559
You think so absolutely, So Pelosi shows up, Gavin shows up,
289
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:38.320
everybody leans in.
290
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.679
Now, I agree, we're gonna say something.
291
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.480
Well, I think, but I think there are some endorsements
292
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.559
that may be more challenging than others. Remember, uh, former
293
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.320
President Joe Biden did not endorse his former HHS secretary,
294
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.879
Javier but Sera in this primary election. I didn't see
295
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.080
that he endorsed deb Holland either, who has now the
296
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.879
Democratic nominee for governor of New Mexico. And so a
297
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:07.799
real question about the value of the endorsement of the
298
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:12.039
former president. But even the former Vice President Kamala Harris
299
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.320
did not weigh in on the governor's race here in Westlifornia.
300
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.840
Will make a difference, No, We'll see, We'll see what changes. Quick.
301
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:20.080
Two quick footnotes here.
302
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.200
The Biden team did have a good night last night.
303
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.679
If you if you, if you look at the people
304
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.799
who are in his cabinet, they put much one everywhere.
305
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.720
He did endorse Keisha Lan's body.
306
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.720
I about to say that, that's why you're a great
307
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:30.320
talk show host.
308
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.399
That was that was my teas. For the next hour.
309
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.919
He did endorse Keisha Lance Bottoms who George Tavis by
310
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:41.360
the next hour, Thank you dominic for stepping on my teas.
311
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.320
Uh, It's okay. I am surrounded by the best.
312
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.000
Uh.
313
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.879
That's why I'm blessed to always be in conversation with
314
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.919
Dobby the Premia. Adrian Sharpshire nee cordlat Quarte Actould mentioned
315
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.879
another quick footnote.
316
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:55.799
Uh, the doctor.
317
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.120
