Did you ever think you would make it?

0:04.0

I said I'm so much like it takes sweet with a story.

0:07.0

I know this life meant for me.

0:10.0

Adam, what's your point?

0:12.0

The future looks bright.

0:14.0

My handshake is better than anything I ever signs.

0:16.0

Right here.

0:17.0

You are a one of one?

0:19.0

My son's right there.

0:20.0

I don't think I've ever said this before.

0:26.3

All right.

0:27.1

I think it's fair to say there's some stories to cover today, especially California.

0:30.4

California, you got some hope?

0:32.5

California, you got some hope, baby.

0:34.6

There's some good stuff that's coming around California.

0:37.3

Let's see if you guys will be able to finish it off. And can you imagine if both the mayor and the governor of California, Spencer Pratt is right now second place? We'll talk about the numbers, the percentages that just came out from New York Times. And then you have for the governor race. Hilton's at the top ahead of the Sarah. So we'll talk about both.
