What's going on everybody? Thanks for tuning in another
00:00:04
episode. Well, this is the second episode
00:00:06
of cocktails in California, politics.
00:00:10
You're staying for the dog paws on.
00:00:11
Yeah, I don't she's kind of antsy right now, she can't see
00:00:14
any good comfortable, it's because their beds, not here.
00:00:16
So she's trying to figure out, she's Jai trying to figure out
00:00:20
where to go sleep. So I put a blanket down.
00:00:24
That doesn't seem to really be working for.
00:00:25
She's a little bit of a princess.
00:00:27
So the fact that she doesn't Don't have her bed.
00:00:30
She doesn't really know what to do with herself.
00:00:32
All right. So any big news happen recently,
00:00:36
ever since the midterms anything recently that I may have Have
00:00:42
met needs to be talked about. So this is the second
00:00:46
installment of this cocktails and covering politics sort of an
00:00:50
offshoot of coffee and California politics.
00:00:53
Now, what we're doing this at night, tonight's drink is Trace,
00:00:56
tonio's Grand on. Yo, this is really good.
00:01:01
This is kind of like, I love it because it's kind of like a mix
00:01:04
between tequila whiskey. It's very, very good.
00:01:11
There we go. All right, so let's just jump
00:01:14
right into it. Everyone wants to talk about
00:01:16
Trump 2024. That's not really the point of
00:01:17
this podcast and I anybody who Tunes in knows that I like to
00:01:21
talk about California politics and that's really kind of what I
00:01:24
want to talk about tonight, which is why I made this
00:01:28
basically quit whining and get to work.
00:01:31
I wanted to call it something else, but I want to be a little
00:01:33
bit more polite. So, yeah, Trump is running 20
00:01:37
24. I think we all kind of expected
00:01:39
that That that that was coming and I think we all knew that
00:01:43
that was going to come. I think probably CNN is probably
00:01:47
popping bottles right now because are excited that Trump
00:01:50
is back and that Trump is going to be running and they're going
00:01:53
to give him plenty of stuff to talk about and plenty of stuff
00:01:57
to you know, for the news. So yeah I think there's probably
00:02:03
a lot of people in the mainstream media who are excited
00:02:05
that Trump is back because they have nothing else to talk about
00:02:08
now instead. Of talking about Biden how bad
00:02:12
gas prices are, they are going to talk about Trump and they're
00:02:17
probably going to talk about his speech for the next couple
00:02:20
weeks. So that's one of the things
00:02:22
about Trump is that he does have a way of kind of sucking the air
00:02:27
out of the room in terms of what's going on in politics.
00:02:30
So probably a lot of people are excited that that happened, but
00:02:34
that's not really, why? I mean, if we get towards the
00:02:37
end of the show you guys want ask any questions for the Audio
00:02:40
listeners. I'm live on Instagram live.
00:02:43
So that's where I'm getting all these chats from.
00:02:46
That wasn't really what I wanted to come on to talk about.
00:02:50
I really want to come on and talk about this whole idea
00:02:53
because I've been hearing a lot of people who've been doing
00:02:56
Lives who have, you know, a lot of influencers have been going
00:03:00
live and they've been having people on them and avenues
00:03:03
Roundtable discussions. And you know, I we're going to
00:03:08
have a Roundtable discussion on. Thursday, you know, sweet
00:03:13
innocent little Cynthia. Who you know, as my co-host.
00:03:16
She's all fired up so she's ready to go.
00:03:18
And this is going to be like this is gonna be fun.
00:03:20
We're going to have a round table.
00:03:22
Ray is going to be back. We're also going to get Zach.
00:03:27
Who was the head of the fed up with Fletcher pack?
00:03:30
He's going to come in. And basically, we're just going
00:03:32
to spend an hour, an hour and a half ripping on the GOP,
00:03:37
apparatus in California. And how bad has it?
00:03:39
Got. In.
00:03:40
So that's going to be a lot of fun.
00:03:42
And I think we're going to really rip into them there and
00:03:44
discuss, like, should there be new leadership changes?
00:03:46
Should we get rid of Jessica Milan, Patterson what needs to
00:03:50
be done? Because this is unacceptable the
00:03:52
way it is, you know, holding seats and not really flipping
00:03:55
anything. It's not something that we
00:03:58
should be, you know, popping bottles of champagne for.
00:04:01
This is definitely not what should be happening.
00:04:03
So that's going to be Thursday night at 8 p.m. live over on
00:04:07
YouTube, as always. But the point of tonight, and I
00:04:11
wanted to really talk about this because, as I said, I saw a lot
00:04:14
of people going live, talking about what happened in the
00:04:18
midterms talking about this, and that, and blaming it, and on it
00:04:21
on everything. And blame it on mail-in ballots,
00:04:25
and voter fraud, and all that stuff.
00:04:27
And I'm going to get to that, okay?
00:04:28
I'm going to get to the mail in ballots and all that stuff and
00:04:31
my thoughts on it. And, but I hear a lot of people
00:04:35
talking about this. And a lot of people are
00:04:37
obviously emotional, very emotional.
00:04:40
Optional about what happened. After the last week there should
00:04:42
have been bigger gains for a lot of people.
00:04:44
It shouldn't have been. It should have been a red
00:04:48
trickle. It definitely should have been
00:04:50
more of a red wave, especially in this climate and this is
00:04:55
something I thought of the other day.
00:04:57
The biggest crime of last week. Is not that Republicans didn't
00:05:02
win more seats because it's not all just about Republicans, it's
00:05:05
more about the fact. And this is what really upsets
00:05:09
me is that after two years of Democrats, having no problem.
00:05:16
Ruining lives, costing the livelihoods of millions of
00:05:20
people setting back the educational goals and progress
00:05:24
of millions of students across the country.
00:05:28
And generally, just taking two years of Our Lives, being lied
00:05:33
to about the severity of everything.
00:05:36
Now, we're finding out more and more, Pfizer, and murdering are
00:05:38
going to start looking into the bad side effects of what happens
00:05:42
with their vaccine. Now, you have NBC News, talking
00:05:45
about my So carditis admitting that that's actually a side
00:05:48
effect stuff that people have been talking about for years.
00:05:51
The fact that this went on for two years and this was just
00:05:57
covid. Forget that there's inflation.
00:05:59
Forget that the economies in the in the crapper that this went
00:06:04
on. And there wasn't a more
00:06:07
resounded in pushback by the American people, that's what
00:06:12
really kind of upsets me, is you let a lot of the Democrats off
00:06:16
the hook that they did something that has never been done in the
00:06:20
history of America. We have never seen such
00:06:23
overreach by our government on the American people, infringing
00:06:27
on basic constitutional rights. From freedom of speech, the
00:06:30
freedom of religion, just the freedom of Commerce of just
00:06:32
being able to live your life. And we didn't, Really punish
00:06:36
them. That's really what kind of
00:06:39
bothers me and I think maybe it was enough distance between the
00:06:43
end of the pandemic and everyone going back to normal, everyone
00:06:47
going back to school and everyone going back to work.
00:06:50
And all of this stuff, there was probably enough time that people
00:06:53
just forgot about it. And that's the sad thing.
00:06:56
And I've said this before, six months to a year might as well
00:07:00
be an eternity in politics. So you think about last year
00:07:04
this time we were just sort of starting to come out of all of
00:07:07
them. Lockdowns and all of this stuff
00:07:09
and they weren't really kind of requiring people to, you know,
00:07:13
you can only have four or five people over at your house for
00:07:17
Thanksgiving or whatnot and stuff like that and it wasn't
00:07:22
that long ago and people just forgot and they let Democrats
00:07:27
get away with it. That to me might be one of the
00:07:30
most baffling takeaways from these midterms.
00:07:34
That's not to say that Republicans just Not do a good
00:07:38
job and I don't think they did a really good job.
00:07:41
Republicans have a really bad problem with messaging.
00:07:44
We've talked about this before. Republicans are absolutely
00:07:46
horrible at messaging, they got caught up in the abortion issue
00:07:51
with Dobbs meet overruled or rowing overruled by Dobbs.
00:07:57
I don't think there was ever a good time politically for road
00:08:00
to be overturned, unless it was like right after the midterms,
00:08:03
they overturn Roe and then as all that, but let's not let.
00:08:07
Republicans off the hook as well because there's plenty of blame
00:08:11
to go around in terms of messaging and terms of
00:08:14
organizing and terms of getting boots on, you know, getting feet
00:08:18
on the ground getting people to do stuff and that's sort of the
00:08:22
point of today's show. If you've ever seen that old guy
00:08:26
say it's old, but it's that's probably about 10 years old at
00:08:29
this point is that, it's not one of the original Rockies.
00:08:34
It's one of the new Rockies where he's like an older It's
00:08:38
like the first one he did when he was old.
00:08:39
It was called Balboa. I thought it was a great movie.
00:08:42
I think those movies are fantastic.
00:08:43
The Creed movies are great, but that's not.
00:08:45
That's besides the point. I'm a fan of those movies, but
00:08:49
there's a monologue that he says in that where he's talking to
00:08:55
his son and you've probably heard this before.
00:08:59
You know and I'll try and do my best or worst Rocky imitation
00:09:03
where he's like oh you just go go remember the harder the more
00:09:09
you get hit and keep getting up is how you win something like
00:09:15
that but basically it's no matter how many times.
00:09:18
Oh it's no matter how many times you get hit, you have to come
00:09:21
back and you have to keep getting up and that's how you
00:09:23
win. And right now there's a lot of
00:09:27
people who are basically just kind of thrown in the Towel.
00:09:30
I get it in my DMs, I get it on all of my posts.
00:09:33
It's over. Who cares.
00:09:35
Everything's going to be everything to me blue soon.
00:09:39
You know, America is dead, America's Fallen.
00:09:41
There's no point anymore. And that's really, that's really
00:09:47
the shame of what is happening here.
00:09:50
Is that people are giving up. People are getting really
00:09:53
despondent, people are whining. People are saying, there's no
00:09:55
way out of this. That this is it.
00:09:57
This is all over and I'm here. Tell you to stop whining.
00:10:01
Okay. Just buck up and stop whining.
00:10:04
Yeah, if you're, you know, Republicans got there.
00:10:08
Got their nose punched in. I would say, they got out of
00:10:11
this, this fight bloodied and battered, but maybe they won on
00:10:15
a technicality or they won on points, didn't win.
00:10:18
It wasn't a knockout blow for using Rocky terminology and
00:10:22
analogies. It was certainly, they kind of
00:10:24
limped into the 16th round, barely hanging on, you know, it
00:10:27
was like, we're watching A couple seats here in California,
00:10:31
like, oh my God. Are we actually going to take
00:10:33
the house? That's really kind of where we
00:10:38
were going into this, and there's good things to, to kind
00:10:43
of take away from this. I know there's a lot of people
00:10:45
going to be like, there's not, there's nothing good to take
00:10:47
away from this is this is all horrible.
00:10:49
This is all really bad. I think, let's start with one of
00:10:52
the first things and this is what I was looking up at the.
00:10:58
I'm looking at the results. It's right now.
00:10:59
So if you look at the results and you've probably seen this go
00:11:03
around the gap between Gavin Newsom, and Brian dolly is
00:11:11
something that maybe people don't look at and say that is
00:11:15
still a good thing 58 to 41. It got a little bit bigger than
00:11:21
it was but it still is one of the strongest showings by a
00:11:26
republican in the state of California.
00:11:28
In a long time since the governator it's one of the worst
00:11:33
showings from Gavin Newsom. I don't know if that was because
00:11:37
maybe people thought he was are going to win.
00:11:38
So there wasn't really any reason.
00:11:41
But to me that says something a guy who had literally no
00:11:48
advertising and no advertising and no backing from the
00:11:50
California GOP in terms of anybody spending any money on
00:11:55
this guy. The fact that they got a
00:11:57
republican on to the Ballot for governor should have been cause
00:12:00
for celebration to even go out and put up a fight but they
00:12:03
didn't really put up a fight at all and let's face it.
00:12:06
They every time we've had a republican on the ballot there
00:12:09
hasn't really been a lot of push to even kind of highlight that
00:12:13
there's a republican on the ballot.
00:12:14
Like you think about like John Cox?
00:12:16
Yeah. He spent a lot of his own money
00:12:17
on it which is probably why you saw a lot more commercials.
00:12:21
Travis Allen did a good job. He was more of a Grassroots guy
00:12:25
you can go back and really see that They Don't Really spend a
00:12:27
lot of money. Republicans actually win but
00:12:30
that's a good thing to me. It shows that there is life and
00:12:34
there's maybe people who are inclined to look for an
00:12:39
alternate solution here in California.
00:12:42
And the fact that a guy who most people didn't even really know
00:12:47
about or anything had such a strong showing, that's a very
00:12:52
good thing. Let's see.
00:12:54
I'm trying to think of some other things.
00:12:56
It's not good that we held the route of the House of
00:12:59
Representatives. A lot of these seats should have
00:13:01
been flipped. There should be more seats
00:13:03
flipped here in California. That's definitely not great
00:13:06
news. We did pick up a couple seats in
00:13:09
the assembly. It looks like we're going to
00:13:10
pick up a seat in the state senate.
00:13:13
But you really have to start to look at the tea leaves when it
00:13:16
comes to California. California is a big state, 58
00:13:18
counties, tons of cities. You have to look at the Tea
00:13:21
Leaves of how things are going on the ground level.
00:13:24
Because I think that's a A better gauge of where things are
00:13:29
in California, rather than where things are going.
00:13:32
Or if you just look at Noodles and say, oh well, noodles got
00:13:35
elected, so that's it. We're done.
00:13:37
Noodles is done or noodles and California is all done.
00:13:41
One thing, I like down here in San Diego, is definitely
00:13:43
something. I've been keeping an eye on,
00:13:45
because it's my own, my own District, or all my own County.
00:13:50
Dolly performed really. Well, here, I'm looking at some
00:13:54
of the other numbers. Even Angela Underwood Jacob, she
00:13:58
performed really well here. Let's see, Lonnie Chen and his
00:14:03
race. It was 51 to 48 so that's really
00:14:06
good on his part. So there's a lot of races that
00:14:09
here in San Diego that are very, very, very close.
00:14:13
And that's something I'm trying to tell people is that if you
00:14:16
look at these numbers, if you look at and you actually break
00:14:19
down and see that the little percentage points for a lot of
00:14:25
these, Races, you'll see that a lot of these races are really
00:14:29
really close. They're not like out of, you
00:14:33
know, they're not like blowout, which makes you think.
00:14:36
And this is sort of the general rule, if it's something under a
00:14:39
10-point, sort of District. It's winnable, it's competitive
00:14:45
and it should be competitive every single time and
00:14:48
Republicans here should be doing a much better job looking at
00:14:51
these districts and going, okay. This District.
00:14:54
Last time, the Democrat won by only four points, 4 Points.
00:14:58
That's a huge opportunity for someone to go.
00:15:01
Okay. That many people showed up and
00:15:03
voted for a republican Democrat. Who's in power or incumbent
00:15:07
right now. Obviously not super popular, so
00:15:09
we need to just get more people out or register.
00:15:12
More more people to vote. Let's see.
00:15:15
I'm looking at some other results here in San Diego, but
00:15:20
bomb, you know, Jim Desmond was a big one.
00:15:23
Another one that I thought was really big, was John McCain down
00:15:25
in Chula Vista? That's a really big one too.
00:15:29
Chula Vista is a pretty large city here in San Diego County.
00:15:31
If you don't know what it is, it's right there on the border
00:15:34
and is a literally, quite literally one of the closest to
00:15:37
the border and has a large Hispanic population.
00:15:40
And they went for a republican by a pretty substantial margin.
00:15:44
So to me that's a huge win. You have to look at these tea
00:15:50
leaves, right? And you can't just throw up your
00:15:55
hands and say, it's over. It's all election fraud.
00:15:59
Now, let's talk about election fraud because I know I'm
00:16:02
probably gonna ruffle some feathers and people are going to
00:16:04
go crazy in the chat right now, here's my thing about the whole
00:16:09
election fraud until you prove it I as an attorney, I can't
00:16:14
help but look in just speculate and say oh yeah it's absolutely.
00:16:16
Its election fraud, like what happened with Kerry Lake out in
00:16:20
Arizona. People automatically said, well
00:16:23
it's rigged. It was it was always going to be
00:16:24
rigged. Therefore its election fraud
00:16:28
Maybe you know, or it's possible carry Lake, didn't do a great
00:16:32
job in Arizona. Maybe trashing.
00:16:34
The McCain's is a bad idea in Arizona.
00:16:37
Maybe these are things that some of the Maga candidates
00:16:41
overlooked over in Arizona, maybe it was a winnable race.
00:16:45
Maybe there should have been more money put behind Kerry,
00:16:47
like knowing that this is such a crucial state that if they want
00:16:51
to secure it for 2024, they should have made sure that hey,
00:16:55
we probably should get the governor on our side so that we
00:16:58
Can start passing legislation to clean up, voter rolls,
00:17:02
Implement, voter ID, all these things and make sure that in
00:17:06
2024. We're not worried about all of
00:17:08
these issues. So I can't stand this whole
00:17:12
knee-jerk reaction of its election fraud, automatically
00:17:16
its election fraud. It's got to be election fraud.
00:17:18
They stole it from us. Or or and now I want you all to
00:17:24
be sitting down. I want you all to be sitting on
00:17:29
email. Hopefully, you're probably all
00:17:30
are sitting down or it was a bad candidate and they didn't run a
00:17:35
good race. Not everything is automatically
00:17:39
election, fraud. Not everything is automatically
00:17:41
just because of mail-in ballots. It's, there are a lot of reasons
00:17:46
to look into a race and go, maybe they didn't do it.
00:17:49
The job. Maybe they just didn't do what
00:17:52
they were supposed to do. Maybe there wasn't enough money
00:17:54
behind them, maybe they weren't good candidate.
00:17:57
Maybe they didn't have a good platform, maybe they had a bad
00:18:00
social media team, you know, like there's a thousand things
00:18:03
you can look at and say it's not always election fraud, it's not
00:18:08
always going to be mail in ballots.
00:18:10
It's not always going to be. They stole it from us, it could
00:18:14
just be your candidate was not good and did not win the race.
00:18:18
Nothing is guaranteed, right? Absolutely.
00:18:22
Is nothing. Guaranteed in any sort of
00:18:25
political race You know, everyone thought going into
00:18:29
2020, Trump was going to be a shoe and I was going to win by a
00:18:33
landslide they happen. Everyone thought going into this
00:18:38
Arizona gubernatorial race that carry Lake was going to
00:18:40
steamroll over her opponent and it wasn't even be close, didn't
00:18:44
happen. So things don't happen and there
00:18:48
are possibilities that Things Fall flat and it's not always
00:18:52
election fraud, it's not always mail-in ballots and this is part
00:18:57
of the whole quit whining because at the end of the day,
00:19:01
you can sit here and whine and whine, and whine, or you can get
00:19:05
out and do something about it. You can get out and say, I'm
00:19:08
going to see what I can do to play the game and be better than
00:19:12
the other side. And I like, you know, we're
00:19:16
going from boxing to baseball analogies tonight and this is
00:19:20
something that the best way I could really kind of compare.
00:19:22
I'm a big baseball fan is my favorite game to watch, so, it's
00:19:27
Kind of like if your team had a pitcher, who only Through To
00:19:31
Mediocre pitches like a fastball, that's kind of okay.
00:19:36
And maybe a alright, change up. And then you have the other side
00:19:41
that has a picture that is can throw 100 mile-per-hour.
00:19:45
Fastball they have a curveball, they have a slider, they have
00:19:47
all this change of, they have all of these things and at the
00:19:51
end of the game, you go man, our picture got rocked and we
00:19:54
couldn't hit anything off their picture.
00:19:58
That's the game. The game is the pitcher can
00:20:01
throw all those pitches you didn't adjust and so your
00:20:06
picture never adjusted your you never got a better pitcher on
00:20:09
the mound. Therefore you got rocked and
00:20:13
here in California again. I'm sure I'm going to get a lot
00:20:16
of people. If there's a mass Exodus to the.
00:20:18
If there's a mass rush to the exits of my page and people are
00:20:22
like, you know, don't don't follow this guy anymore.
00:20:25
I can't believe I understand. I'm just going to tell you the
00:20:26
God's honest truth. I'm not crazy about what goes on
00:20:31
in California with the, the voting either.
00:20:34
But it's the game we have. It's absolutely the game that we
00:20:41
have to play, right? It's going to be a long time
00:20:46
until you get to a point where you can say, let's figure out
00:20:49
how to get rid of mail-in ballot in California.
00:20:52
Well, guess what? You're going to have to make
00:20:53
sure you get a republican governor, and a republican
00:20:56
majority, and these legislature How do you do that?
00:21:00
Okay. You a lot of people are trying
00:21:02
to say oh we got to fix things up in California.
00:21:04
Guess what, how do you do that? You don't magically just wake up
00:21:09
one day and hope on a Hail Mary that you're going to elect a
00:21:13
governor, who's going to go in and clean the voter rolls.
00:21:16
That's not going to happen. What you have to do is you have
00:21:18
to make incremental wins, you have to win, it's a game of
00:21:22
inches. And you have to say, Okay, this
00:21:24
cycle, we're going to pick up three seats in the assembly or
00:21:27
we're going to flip one senate seat.
00:21:29
Right, that's what you have to do.
00:21:31
And then the next one you say, okay, we're going to take three
00:21:34
or four more assembly seats and we're going to take another
00:21:37
state senate seat and before you know it slowly.
00:21:41
But surely you make those incremental games, how do you
00:21:44
make those incremental games? I keep saying games gains gains,
00:21:49
you make incremental gains, how do you make those incremental
00:21:51
gains? Well, you have to play the game.
00:21:57
And right now, the Democrats are playing the game with a sigh
00:22:00
Young pitcher against a high schooler because you because
00:22:04
people don't want to play it that way.
00:22:07
And here's another thing to think about, just to play
00:22:09
Devil's, Advocate, Republicans, love to show up on the day of
00:22:13
voting correct. They love to show up.
00:22:15
That's the thing, let's show up on the day of nothing.
00:22:18
Not faulting people who want to show up then But there's plenty
00:22:22
of opportunity to get everyone who's not voting to get their
00:22:26
ballots in to do the mail in to do the ballot harvesting and get
00:22:33
those votes in if nothing else. Think about it this way, getting
00:22:38
the mail in ballots, getting the early voting and what is that?
00:22:42
Do that prevents issues like when you go into a voter Booth
00:22:48
like in Maricopa County, where you go?
00:22:51
To these voter booths. And oh look at that.
00:22:55
We don't have any ink or oh look at that.
00:22:58
We don't have we don't have the code.
00:23:00
Oh look, the power went out. Oh well, a water pipe burst.
00:23:04
It's almost like if they know that Republicans are going to
00:23:06
show up on those days, guess what?
00:23:11
They're probably going to. If you're a believer in that,
00:23:13
it's all this, all this rigged, election stuff, guess what
00:23:17
they're going to do. They know they're all going to
00:23:18
show up on Election Day. Guess what they're going to
00:23:21
screw with you on Election Day. How do you prevent that, you do
00:23:25
early voting, you do mail-in ballots, which is here in
00:23:27
California, you have to play the game and Republicans just
00:23:31
refused to do it. And we have plenty of
00:23:33
influencers who are telling people don't go and do your
00:23:36
mail-in ballots. Don't go and vote early show up
00:23:39
in person. Make sure that you show up in
00:23:41
person to me, I actually like getting my ballot in the mail
00:23:46
and dropping it off at a polling place because there's a paper
00:23:48
trail, you go into an election Booth, it's all electronic
00:23:52
anyway. And a whole bunch of things can
00:23:54
go wrong with that as we've seen in the past.
00:23:57
So with that said, Two things. It's time to stop whining, about
00:24:03
every single thing in blaming everything for why people have
00:24:07
lost, right? That's the first thing.
00:24:10
Second off. Now, we need to start getting to
00:24:12
work. And how do we get to work?
00:24:14
Well, you have to get to work. Obviously, you have to increase
00:24:17
your numbers. You have to get your numbers up
00:24:20
because right now you're just playing about two or three men
00:24:23
down a lot of sports analogies going on tonight.
00:24:25
You know it's like it's the best way to put it.
00:24:28
I mean it is a team versus a team so that's really what's
00:24:30
going on here? You're not going to win a lot of
00:24:32
races when you're out Advantage, 221 by registered voters so you
00:24:37
do have to get more voters on your side.
00:24:40
Now, how do you do that? Well, you have to put out a
00:24:43
platform. You have to have a party that
00:24:45
wants to actually go and put people on the streets, going to
00:24:49
talking to people going into areas that are not historically,
00:24:53
Republican and have people talk to the voters because right now
00:24:57
and I mean, this is sort of On the national level and on the
00:25:01
California level if you're just playing defense and saying well
00:25:07
we're going to guard, this little tiny piece of red right
00:25:13
here. We're just going to make sure
00:25:14
this little piece of red because we don't want to go out.
00:25:17
God forbid, that we go out and get out of our little comfort
00:25:23
zone. Go into these areas were afraid,
00:25:25
we might lose this little patch of red, that's not how they
00:25:28
should think, right? They should think where voters
00:25:32
that I can go in and start getting those voters.
00:25:34
Where can I start chipping away? You don't have to get 100%,
00:25:37
right? But if you start to get 20, 30
00:25:41
40 percent of those voters, all of a sudden, you're flipping
00:25:44
races, you're flipping big races.
00:25:47
And all of a sudden you're building that Grassroots bench
00:25:50
of City, Council Members County, Supervisor State, Assembly,
00:25:53
State Senate. That's how you start to build.
00:25:55
Your revenge is these local politicians.
00:25:59
So you have to get People who want to go out, you have to
00:26:02
start registering people to become Republican.
00:26:05
You have to start even in that out, that 25% of people who are
00:26:09
out there, who are Independence, they have to stop being such a
00:26:12
hard block, just for Democrats, and you have to start increasing
00:26:16
your numbers. And we'll, how does that work?
00:26:19
You have to have a message and you have to have a platform that
00:26:22
people are going to start to buy into, right?
00:26:26
You cannot be and I've said this before, I'm a broken record on
00:26:29
this. You you cannot be a party of no
00:26:33
here in California. You can't.
00:26:35
You just it doesn't work anywhere.
00:26:39
You get doesn't work anywhere across the country, you cannot
00:26:42
be a party of. No you can't be a party of I
00:26:47
want to take stuff away from you.
00:26:49
You have to talk to people and hid them in the pain points and
00:26:53
explain to them your ideas. It's your ideas and you have to
00:27:02
present it in a way that you now put the Democrats on defense.
00:27:07
You can't just be the party of no, because constantly,
00:27:10
Republicans are always arguing in a democratic frame, and
00:27:14
they're always losing especially here in California.
00:27:17
So With that said, I think I've been rambling enough.
00:27:23
I do want to leave time for comments because I'm sure
00:27:25
there's probably going to be a ton of comments on this live and
00:27:29
I also want to take a drink of my tequila.
00:27:31
So, thoughts comments, what do people think about quit whining?
00:27:39
And let's get to work. There's going to be plenty of
00:27:41
venting and there's going to be plenty of stuff and talked about
00:27:43
on Thursday. I'm excited for Thursday, it's
00:27:47
going to be fun. Like I said, fired up.
00:27:49
Cynthia is going to be fun because I don't think she's
00:27:52
she's not going to hold back and I don't think that, you know,
00:27:54
Ray and Zack are both very honest.
00:27:56
So time to try something new. As in, it's time to try
00:28:02
something new for our side. It's time to try something.
00:28:05
It's absolutely time to try something if that's for sure.
00:28:09
And there's a whole bunch of comments.
00:28:10
Now, everybody went quiet, everyone has nothing to say.
00:28:12
So let me see what everyone else is saying.
00:28:15
I'll go back through the comments.
00:28:20
But I'm, we personally vote on Election Day.
00:28:22
Dems, have a greater Head. Start.
00:28:23
Exactly, exactly. So, this is something that we
00:28:28
have to have. I don't know how you tell
00:28:30
conservative influencers in California to stop telling
00:28:35
people to not vote early and not do mail-in ballots.
00:28:40
That is the entire game right now.
00:28:45
Okay? And at least, if you get those
00:28:47
early mail-in ballots, you chip away at their lead because
00:28:52
that's where they get most of their lead.
00:28:54
But if a whole bunch of Republicans show up and dwindle
00:28:56
that lead, it's a lot harder for them on Election Day to
00:28:59
actually, make up that ground. So you got to actually play the
00:29:03
game and you don't want to leave to chance what's going to happen
00:29:07
on Election Day because we, as we know crazy things happen.
00:29:13
Let's see. Do do do.
00:29:22
Don't worry guys, this is interdimensional chess.
00:29:30
Need boots on the ground and minority communities.
00:29:32
Yeah, I would absolutely agree with that.
00:29:37
I mean, that's something that I think like, you know, and I I
00:29:42
think that that is absolutely true and I think that we got,
00:29:47
there's no reason for Republicans not to be in those
00:29:50
communities and talking and again your you don't have to win
00:29:53
a hundred percent of those communities.
00:29:56
If you win 30 or 40 percent, you've demolished the Democrats
00:30:00
because they count on huge turnout and huge numbers from
00:30:04
for those communities. And that's why I say like the
00:30:06
fact that Chula Vista elected. A Republican mayor is sort of
00:30:11
something that is gone under the radar, and no one's really
00:30:14
talking about. That is a largely.
00:30:16
Hispanic Community elected, a Republican mayor by a wide
00:30:20
margin. So what does that tell you that
00:30:23
there that more Hispanics are breaking towards her?
00:30:26
Republicans and what is the California GOP?
00:30:29
Do Nothing. They don't care about it,
00:30:32
they're like, don't worry about it.
00:30:34
We're not going to we're not going to like change our site
00:30:37
to, you know, be translated to Spanish.
00:30:40
We're not going to put out Spanish ads.
00:30:42
Don't worry about it. We're we're just going to hope
00:30:44
they end up liking us for some reason.
00:30:49
Did you see Robbie Starbucks? Most about conservatism.
00:30:51
Oh, well yeah, I did a whole Tick-Tock on it.
00:30:56
Yeah. So let's talk about that about
00:31:00
the whole, Robbie Starbucks thing.
00:31:02
And I do want to preface a lot of people thought that I was
00:31:05
like attacking people who moved out of California because they
00:31:08
had to, I'm not attacking people who are have to move out of
00:31:13
California because it's the best decision for their family.
00:31:15
You have to do what's best for your family that is by and far.
00:31:20
The number one thing, that's the whole point of you have a
00:31:22
family. You're responsible, your family,
00:31:24
God bless. That's what you have to do.
00:31:28
What I'm saying is politically it is one of the worst loser
00:31:32
takes I've ever heard is let's just give up let's just give up
00:31:37
let's just give up and if politically that's your take is
00:31:41
that Republicans are conservative or whatever should
00:31:44
just get out of blue States and run to read districts.
00:31:48
He was proven so wrong within 24 hours with what happened in
00:31:53
Arizona, Because Arizona was a red state that people flew
00:31:57
California to. And look what happened sooner,
00:32:01
or later state has come for you and they'll find you and they'll
00:32:06
flip your state and before, you know, it, it's out of control.
00:32:10
So, and I've said this before, you don't, the reason it boggles
00:32:15
my mind, that conservatives don't put more of an effort to
00:32:20
stop things in California as opposed to pointing the finger
00:32:24
and And I'll, you know, stupid California is when we got there,
00:32:27
spending a million dollars on a toilet.
00:32:28
Oh my God, isn't California. Crazy guess what?
00:32:32
All that stuff, all that craziness.
00:32:34
It's going to come to your stay pretty soon laugh as much as you
00:32:38
want in those red states where you're comfortable and you pay
00:32:40
no state income tax laugh. All you want because in 10 or 20
00:32:45
years, California will be your state to just saying and if you
00:32:50
can't stop what they're preaching, or what?
00:32:54
Their Pushing now then just give up.
00:32:56
And if that's your attitude that it's not worth fighting for in
00:32:59
that, you don't have good enough arguments to beat back status or
00:33:02
far left far. Left is then just give up now.
00:33:07
There's no point. Would just give up the country,
00:33:09
just hand it over to the Democrats in the far left and
00:33:11
say, okay, here you go. We'll just speed this up for
00:33:14
you. We won't make it easy, you know,
00:33:16
take it easy on us because we were such good.
00:33:18
Little peasants, that's my take on it.
00:33:21
It's a loser mentality to To basically just say give up on
00:33:27
the blue States and just run away.
00:33:33
Have open conversations with the working-class unions include.
00:33:37
Yeah, I believe that. Yeah, that's I mean the fact
00:33:39
that there aren't more, there isn't more of a push.
00:33:43
I mean, that is if there's any working-class left in California
00:33:47
by Republicans to just go after the working class, and really
00:33:51
hit home on the kitchen table politics.
00:33:52
Oh, I don't like the mail in ballots, but you do bring up a
00:34:00
good point about not waiting till last minute, leave nothing
00:34:01
to chance. Yeah.
00:34:03
I mean, look, it is a good way to look at it.
00:34:09
You know if I take the time and sit at home with my ballot and
00:34:13
fill it out, exactly how I want it and I know that they have to
00:34:18
take that ballot and put it through the scanner the way I
00:34:21
filled it out. It's not going to go through
00:34:23
some electronic machine. Gene that could malfunction or
00:34:26
doesn't connect to the Internet or all of a sudden, a pipe
00:34:29
breaks and gets all the electrical.
00:34:31
Like all of a sudden, you've kind of reduced that and you've
00:34:37
guaranteed that, like I'm going to go drop off this ballot and
00:34:39
they're going to count it. So, I believe that people who
00:34:43
live in deep blue District in California shops, at least, a in
00:34:46
California, but perhaps moved to a purple District to keep their
00:34:48
influence in California, as well as their donor money in
00:34:50
California. Yeah, yeah, I think like, if
00:34:53
you're in l.a. I wouldn't say move to San Diego
00:34:57
because I don't want more people from l.a. moving to San Diego,
00:35:01
but I hear Orange County's. Beautiful.
00:35:03
You can go live in Orange County.
00:35:05
I'm kidding. I don't want them to move to
00:35:06
Orange County. People don't trust that they're
00:35:09
about. Will be counted somehow lost.
00:35:10
The system is too flawed. No trust.
00:35:16
Yeah, and that's, that's a lot of, you know, it's kind of a
00:35:20
double-edged sword because there hasn't been there since 2020.
00:35:24
There hasn't been a lot of things to really give people
00:35:26
hope in there, in there, in the election process.
00:35:30
But, like I've said, conservative influencers, are
00:35:36
certainly not helping as well. They're not doing a good job
00:35:40
either. They're kind of conservative and
00:35:43
multiple answers are kind of feeding into the Native and
00:35:46
making it way worse by saying, like every time something
00:35:50
happens, you know everyone's rushing to an Instagram live
00:35:53
saying everything stolen. Like that's not that's not
00:35:58
helping you because you're now taking your base and people who
00:36:01
are listening to you and you have this voice and you're now
00:36:07
telling them basically to stop voting and then when election
00:36:10
time comes around you, okay guys, let's go ahead and vote
00:36:12
guess what you've been feeding them this this line.
00:36:16
Line four years. Now that voting doesn't matter
00:36:19
and it's all fraudulent. And what do you think that
00:36:20
person is going to show up and vote?
00:36:22
Absolutely not. So, Focus needs to be on gen Z,
00:36:28
next election. Yeah, I mean gen Z for as much
00:36:32
as they say I think they said it was like one of the more
00:36:34
conservative gen Z in Crowder made a really good point this
00:36:38
morning on his show where he said you have to point out that
00:36:44
you were lied to people. Instinctively don't like to be
00:36:47
lied to in gen Z was definitely lied to about student loans and
00:36:52
all that stuff that that was going to happen and you were
00:36:55
gonna get your student loans forgiven.
00:36:59
Did it happen. It's unconstitutional they ruled
00:37:01
it in court, two courts, two separate courts.
00:37:04
Will see if it goes up to the Supreme Court, probably well.
00:37:07
But either way, the executive branch doesn't have the power to
00:37:10
just forgive all that money. They don't, I don't know where
00:37:12
they find that power, but you do have to reach out to them and
00:37:18
you have to make it seem like Choice.
00:37:21
A is this and choice. B is this.
00:37:24
And that does involve crafting a better platform that does speak
00:37:28
to people. Ventura County.
00:37:31
Flip Board of Supervisors, through to majority.
00:37:33
There you go. See, that's a big deal.
00:37:36
Huge deal when you flip the Board of Supervisors from one
00:37:39
side to the other whole bunch of things.
00:37:40
Change happened. Hearing San Diego, once
00:37:44
Christian gasbar loss, and it was 32 Democrats, and you got
00:37:47
Nathan Fletcher as the chair. Holy crap, the things change,
00:37:55
Move to Canada? Yeah.
00:37:58
Go run to Canada, have fun in there.
00:38:03
Let's see. Conservatives want Comfort not
00:38:09
going to happen. I mean, and agree, conservative
00:38:13
sort of their whole philosophy is, I just want to be left
00:38:17
alone. I don't want people to bother
00:38:19
me. I don't want people to get in by
00:38:22
the life and all that stuff status in the far left, they
00:38:26
want to constantly be in your life to constantly.
00:38:29
Want to be engineering, social engineering, your life and your
00:38:33
children. But they take advantage of that.
00:38:38
They take advantage of it and then sooner or later it doesn't
00:38:40
matter what state you're in sooner or later they'll creep
00:38:44
into that state and that state will fall Colorado.
00:38:47
Not too long ago was a reliably Red State and it was until like
00:38:51
Barack Obama came along and now it's a blue state.
00:38:55
So Arizona has now. Gone blue in two successive
00:39:00
elections. so, just to give you an idea, California ex pads
00:39:06
voting for their own demise again.
00:39:08
Yeah. In different states it's a good
00:39:10
strategy. Move out of a deep blue
00:39:11
District. Next door to a purple District
00:39:13
of try. Flip the seat to gain more
00:39:14
conservatives in our state legislature but I think you
00:39:17
should stay in California. Yeah I mean I think if you can
00:39:23
obviously if you can I'm someone's alarm went off.
00:39:28
Obviously, if you can stay in California, right?
00:39:32
That's the best thing I. But again if you're if you need
00:39:36
to do it for your family, you need to leave.
00:39:37
I completely understand. I don't fault you for that.
00:39:41
But we also need to create more conservatives.
00:39:45
We need to create more Republican voters, here in
00:39:47
California. Let's see what he has already.
00:39:55
So no go to San Diego. O.c. has left people.
00:40:01
What are you barking at winning? Somebody outside.
00:40:08
Okay, tough guy. Nice.
00:40:11
Going back to sleep, go to San Diego.
00:40:13
SOC, has enough people know. There's enough people in San
00:40:16
Diego. Don't come here.
00:40:17
Go to go to Riverside. How about that?
00:40:21
Go out to Riverside. California slowly.
00:40:26
But surely well yeah I mean we I think we did better this
00:40:31
election. If you looked at the tea leaves,
00:40:34
then most people think put it on a much better in Congressional
00:40:38
races but You know, it's got its got to start somewhere and you
00:40:43
got to slowly move that needle and slowly but surely it takes
00:40:48
several several election Cycles to start doing it.
00:40:53
You know, good thing is, we get every two years.
00:40:55
We get some sort of big election.
00:40:59
But we've talked about this before, the whole progress to
00:41:01
purple idea. I think a lot of people would
00:41:03
take California if it was a purple state right now, not a
00:41:07
bright red state yet, bright red would be a long time.
00:41:11
But I'm sure people. If you say in five years, do you
00:41:13
want it to be a purple State? A lot of people will go, I'll
00:41:16
take purple in a heartbeat rather than dark blue.
00:41:25
What about those people who say not to vote for a GOP candidates
00:41:28
to teach the GOP lesson? I don't understand that.
00:41:31
I like, you know, you gotta be a little bit smarter the this
00:41:37
whole oh we're going to teach them a lesson because we're not
00:41:41
going to vote for this person, okay.
00:41:43
That's, you know, literate. That's quite literally cutting
00:41:45
off your nose to spite your face.
00:41:47
That doesn't make any sense. And conversely, there is this
00:41:52
whole thing of like, the Republican party is in a weird
00:41:56
place in California where they don't want to endorse any
00:41:58
Democrats, but they could tell their voters to not vote for a
00:42:03
certain candidate. So like let's say in LA in l.a.
00:42:06
City they could have said, they don't have to endorse one or the
00:42:11
other. I don't think Ken or Republican
00:42:13
party some of might want to answer in the track and like the
00:42:16
Republican Party. Endorse a Democrat if they have
00:42:18
to They could say, don't vote for Karen bass, kind of
00:42:23
implicitly saying like, well go vote for Rick Caruso because
00:42:26
he's going to be much better. You have to be a little bit more
00:42:30
strategic as well. Like sometimes getting the more
00:42:34
moderate Democrat into office, the dino, I like to call them
00:42:39
the Democrat in name, only is way better than having the far
00:42:43
left. Scott wiener guy in there are
00:42:45
Buffy, Wicks or whoever you want to name or Alex Lee.
00:42:49
Like it, sometimes it's better. Sometimes better to get that
00:42:54
moderate Democrat in there to hold that position until you can
00:42:57
get a more competitive Republican.
00:43:02
California was the straw that broke the camel's back?
00:43:05
Yep. Can Riverside Wing read in many
00:43:08
places. The are Riverside's, very red.
00:43:10
So there's a lot of counties up and down, California that are
00:43:13
very, very red. So You know, that's always,
00:43:20
that's always interesting to me. How read the rest of the state
00:43:22
is, when you look at it, lots of single-issue Voters, abortion at
00:43:26
a bigger effect than most people thought might need to rethink
00:43:28
strategy on this. Yeah, abortion is never a good
00:43:32
time and, you know, it really did breathe life into Democrats
00:43:35
at a time when they were floundering, they had nothing
00:43:39
you know, like they didn't have the economy, they didn't have
00:43:42
anything, they didn't have anything to run on.
00:43:46
So when abortion came along, Every single commercial was
00:43:50
pro-choice, I'm pro-choice and pro-choice.
00:43:53
I want to, I want to fund abortions will, you know, like
00:43:56
there was a, the only ad I saw for a city councilwoman here in
00:44:00
my district was that she was pro-choice.
00:44:04
Lady. I don't care if you're
00:44:06
pro-choice. I got a homeless person outside,
00:44:10
crapping on my front lawn. I don't care if you're
00:44:13
pro-choice, you know, like there's garbage all over the
00:44:16
streets. You want me to care that you're
00:44:19
pro-choice, you haven't done anything to fix these areas.
00:44:23
So, GOP needs to make good tick-tocks and get out there.
00:44:30
The messaging. So Jen's, he knows the truth.
00:44:32
That's a that's a tight. Like that's a tight rope to rope
00:44:36
a tightrope to walk because I feel like politicians when they
00:44:42
do tick-tocks can be very cringy.
00:44:46
Like even noodles when he does it is very cringey Republicans.
00:44:49
Do it is kind of cringey, it's tough to like to do that.
00:44:56
The thing is, you have Have to culturally, it's not the
00:44:59
politician. It's not really up to
00:45:01
politicians to do that sort of stuff.
00:45:03
It has to be a cultural thing where people kind of gravitate
00:45:07
towards what you're talking about and then those people make
00:45:11
tick-tocks so that takes a little bit more work to get your
00:45:14
message into the culture and into the influencers who are
00:45:18
going to talk about this stuff. So, you know, talking about
00:45:22
having people in cultural positions or celebrities or
00:45:25
stuff like that. Get on your side.
00:45:27
He's a huge win but having like politicians do it is never never
00:45:32
that great. Let's see, poop don't want to.
00:45:40
If it's purple District, it's wonderful already.
00:45:42
Yeah, absolutely. That means it's a swing
00:45:44
District. So if it's purple it's it should
00:45:47
be competitive, your dogs are for you, someone is stealing
00:45:51
your car and you're ignoring her.
00:45:53
I think it's someone's car out front so it's very nice of her
00:45:55
to bark about. Someone's someone else's car.
00:45:58
Mark, Mauser said it best that we need structure and money the
00:46:01
opportunity to win was there. Yeah.
00:46:04
Absolutely. And that's something we're
00:46:06
definitely gonna talk about on Thursday is, you know, has
00:46:09
Jessica Patterson? In warranted still being the
00:46:12
chair of the California GOP. Everyone says, she's very nice.
00:46:15
Everyone says she's such a nice lady, and my whole thing is, we
00:46:20
don't need nice. We need someone who is ready to
00:46:25
go to war and rip people's throats out, right.
00:46:29
One of my favorite lines from The Godfather is when Sonny
00:46:31
looks at Tom Higgins, if anybody's a big Godfather fan.
00:46:36
And he yells at Tom and he says, he says you have Jesus Christ.
00:46:40
Why don't you just listen to me and help me out?
00:46:42
He says why couldn't I have had a wartime consigliere like pop
00:46:46
did That's what California needs.
00:46:50
We need a wartime consigliere, we need a wartime GOP, chairman
00:46:56
or woman, who is ready to literally go to war and pull out
00:47:01
all the stops and try everything.
00:47:04
Because right now, Jessica Milan Patterson may be the nicest
00:47:07
person in the world. But holding your for
00:47:13
congressional seats or winning them back that you lost for
00:47:16
election cycle is not something to pop champagne about.
00:47:19
So, Yes, they endorse film. Oh yeah, I remember that was a
00:47:26
big deal like because Jessica blonde Patterson actually
00:47:30
endorsed Villanueva and everyone's like, oh my God, the
00:47:35
GOP endorsed a Democrat. What's the world coming to?
00:47:39
I remember I talked about that because I was like do you want
00:47:41
this guy or do you want the other guy do?
00:47:48
Dams do know how to appeal to emotions.
00:47:50
Yeah, I saw Layla on here from propaganda fluent.
00:47:55
She is very, very good on that stuff.
00:47:58
She knows that you have to appeal to emotions people vote
00:48:00
with their gut. So, logic doesn't always work.
00:48:04
You have to appeal to emotions. You have to make the logical
00:48:09
argument. Person running for public
00:48:14
service needs to be serious Mark, am I sorry.
00:48:19
Use realistic talks for marking a but not themselves.
00:48:22
Can take some serious dancing to me.
00:48:26
Well, don't get like when it comes from their politicians.
00:48:30
Social media is not everything. All right, let's just put that
00:48:33
out there. Social medias, not everything.
00:48:36
I think it's it's really got to be the influencers or getting
00:48:41
their message out. I'm not a big fan like
00:48:43
politicians have to be hitting the ground.
00:48:45
They have to be knocking on doors and stuff like that.
00:48:47
Social media is fine. It doesn't give you an idea of
00:48:50
how many people support you believe me.
00:48:53
There's plenty of, you know, grifter politicians out there
00:48:57
who just because they have 100 followers pretend like
00:49:00
they can go run and beat Maxine Waters or somebody else that
00:49:05
they have no chance. Chance of beating anyway so that
00:49:09
you know, social media doesn't do anything.
00:49:13
It doesn't really show it but I think influencers, if you get
00:49:16
people Listen, you win based on your mustache, you can trust to
00:49:25
do with no facial hair. I need to get trimmed up.
00:49:30
I'm better on the ground in the office.
00:49:37
Yeah, the problem with running is that, then I can't do this
00:49:40
stuff and I like to I like to talk too much.
00:49:43
Federman did tick-tocks. Nuff said yeah, see, it's kind
00:49:46
of yeah, it's kind of cringy when a lot of politicians shots
00:49:52
fired. We all know who I'm talking
00:49:53
about when I say there's plenty of grifter politicians with
00:49:56
hundred thousand followers, so who who think that they can run
00:50:02
for office just because they have a big social media
00:50:04
following That's not the case running for office is not about
00:50:09
building a social media platform.
00:50:14
It should be very low on your totem.
00:50:16
Pole, you should be worried about mailers, you should be
00:50:18
worried about reaching Independence, you should be real
00:50:20
worried about, knocking on doors, all of that stuff.
00:50:25
So, Let's see, fetterman, you can sing.
00:50:34
Followers can be bought. They can.
00:50:38
Yeah, you can buy them. Believe me, I get those.
00:50:43
I get those DM's all the time of people like hey we love your
00:50:49
profile. Do you want to grow your
00:50:51
platform even more? Just give us $50 and we'll send
00:50:56
50 people to you or something, I don't know, but
00:50:59
they're not real people. So for all the people who have
00:51:02
like these huge huge followings that just showed up out of
00:51:04
nowhere, most of them are just W anyway, so and when people say
00:51:10
they're going to like, stop following me, I'm like okay,
00:51:15
whatever. I only want people following me
00:51:18
who are actually interested in what I have to say.
00:51:19
So all right, any other questions or comments or Pete
00:51:25
stuff? People want to talk about?
00:51:29
Are people enjoying. This is the second one or people
00:51:31
enjoying the cocktails and California Politics as opposed
00:51:35
to the coffee. Be in California politics.
00:51:39
We'll see how this goes. I think this is not a bad way to
00:51:43
do it. Kind of make up for the coughing
00:51:45
covering. I don't want to make me name
00:51:50
names, but look at Joe Collins, and Omar Navarro, financials to
00:51:54
things I've done. If you go to my YouTube page,
00:51:57
you can look up the video on Joe Collins and Omar Navarro.
00:52:00
And you can see what has happened with their financials.
00:52:05
Okay, so people are saying yeah. They like the cocktails and
00:52:07
California politics. Awesome.
00:52:10
Oh and our favorite major Williams.
00:52:12
Yeah, the original OG drink more, so we can get you real
00:52:18
snarky. Maybe I'll drink on on Thursdays
00:52:21
podcast. Thursday's is going to be
00:52:22
exciting. I'm really excited for
00:52:24
Thursday's. I feel like I'm just going to
00:52:25
wind up the the guests and let them go.
00:52:29
I'm just going to sit back and be like this is this is a lot of
00:52:31
fun. So and yeah Thursday's is all
00:52:36
going to be all about. You know, should we need to do?
00:52:39
We need new leadership. What's wrong with the California
00:52:42
GOP? Yeah.
00:52:47
Where I'm not doing shots though.
00:52:50
So, all right, so on that note, I'm going to log off for the
