| 0:00.0 | First story, which one do we want to go with? Do we want to start off? Let's just start off with California, Rob. |
| 0:05.0 | Go to Katie Porter. This debate's taking place. It's very important because they don't even know who's going to be the governor. And the most difficult thing to be in this situation is the following thing is when they're asking you, Rob, is this the Katie Porter clip? Yes. Okay, so when they're asking you, hey, you're a liberal, you're a Democrat, you're running for governor, |
| 0:24.4 | and they're asking you to defend Newsom's record. |
| 0:27.7 | How do you do it? |
| 0:29.3 | That maneuvering is super difficult. |
| 0:32.2 | Here's Katie Porter. |
| 0:33.8 | Someone, I think, is made for TV. |
| 0:36.1 | She's fantastic. |
| 0:40.0 | She's asked about Newsom's record on homelessness. |
| 0:45.3 | Listen to the answer, but more importantly, listen to the rebuttal from Steve Hilton. Go ahead. |
| 0:52.1 | If you were in my class, Mr. Hilton, you would learn in my bankruptcy and consumer protection class that the majority of homeless people in California |
| 0:54.7 | are actually working. They're not just people on the streets. It's not just people with mental |
| 1:00.0 | illness or people with drug or substance use problems. 30 seconds. Families who are fleeing |
| 1:04.8 | is she going to give the great domestic violence? It's people who are double and tripled up. |
| 1:09.3 | It's people who are living in their cars on our college campuses. |
| 1:12.6 | Rob, I'm not interested in this schick. |
| 1:14.3 | I want to know when she gives a grade. There's a clip of her saying the grade. That's why I want to get it. Go for it. Give him on homelessness and what, if anything, would you do differently? You have 60 seconds. I'm a notoriously tough grader, but I would probably give him a bee on the most. |
| 1:28.4 | I don't think this is very easy problem to sign. 60 seconds. I'm a notoriously tough grader, but I would probably give him a B on homes. |
| 1:28.3 | Notariously tough. I don't think this is an easy problem to serve. But I do give him a lot of credit for calling attention to the problem. When he campaigned eight years ago, he was talking about housing when nobody else was. Wow, by the way, I'd love to be in your class, Katie, if you get a B for what Gavin Newsom's done on homelessness, my goodness. |
| 1:46.5 | What do you think about that? How do you handle that situation? When you got somebody, you have to defend this position or not defend the position. |
| 1:54.2 | What's the right answer if you're Katie Porter, Elon? I think Democrats, you know, Katie Porter, the perfect example of just dive into the insanity. |
