| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in California with Bill Whalen of the Hoover Institution, |
| 0:10.8 | talking about Governor Newsom and his plans to run for the presidency in 28. |
| 0:16.7 | Also about Governor Newsom's plans to run for the presidency in 24. |
| 0:22.6 | That did not work out and why. |
| 0:25.5 | The plan was that if and when Joe Biden stepped aside, |
| 0:31.2 | given his infirmities or suggested infirmities or alleged infirmities, |
| 0:36.9 | there would be a primary process, and Gavin Newsom would do very well and be the nominee. |
| 0:42.7 | The surprise was, after the announcement that Mr. Biden was stepping aside, |
| 0:48.4 | there was a second announcement that the President endorsed Vice President Harris to be his surrogate to represent his administration. |
| 0:59.5 | That dislodged the plan for Governor Newsom. However, he recovered, and he's now on the campaign trail, Bill Whalen tells me. |
| 1:13.3 | He'll be term limited out of Sacramento in 26, giving him two years to run for the |
| 1:19.0 | presidency, for the nomination for the presidency for the Democratic Party. |
| 1:24.0 | I like the plan. |
| 1:26.7 | Jeff Bliss joins with the Vegas report. |
| 1:29.4 | It is the weekend before the Formula One race, promising to be very exciting. |
| 1:35.8 | Jeff has driven the course because it's the streets of Las Vegas. |
| 1:40.7 | He's driven the course at going the spade limit, not 100 miles an hour, 150 miles per hour. |
| 1:46.6 | He says that it's very exciting to tour through the city. |
| 1:50.9 | There's also an item about the sphere losing money. |
| 1:54.1 | I like the sphere. |
| 1:55.2 | The sphere watches the race, the eyeball sweeps back and forth as the car zipped by, |
| 2:02.5 | just into the sphere a couple of times to see concerts. |
