to him who is no longer with us here today.

Thank you for your support.

With that being said, let's get into the podcast.

My new favorite person from California.

It's a lady named Katie Porter.

I love her.

This lady's lost her mind.

But she's so authentic in the craziest way.

I don't know what else to say about this one.

It's insane.

You're gonna watch, my warriors,

when I show you clips of her,

you're gonna get off and keep watching clips of her, okay?

I don't wanna start off with this one, Rob.

Let's start off with the interview

where the lady's asking basic question,

and she's like, why are you asking me this question?

We asked this question of all the candidates.

No, but why are you asking me that question?

We ask these questions of everybody.

No, but why are you asking me this question?

If you go on, Rob, you can start it from a minute in.

Actually, go in.

And she almost puts her hand right in her face.

Go start it from right there.

Watch this way. Put your other hands.

Go ahead, Rob.

She's running for governor,

but don't just pause this real quick.

She's running for governor of California to replace Newsom.

So she's gonna make you guys say, can we keep Newsom?

That's how bad she is.

Go ahead.

The question is the same thing I asked everybody.

Go back 10 seconds. This is Dave Call.

They both used their hands.

All the governors. Right there, go ahead.

Republican votes before.

That's not something every candidate in this race can say.

If you're from a deep blue area,

if you're from LA or you're from Oakland,

you don't have an experience.

But you just said you don't need those Trump voters.

Well, you asked me if I needed them to win.

So you don't think you need them.

I feel like this is unnecessarily argumentative.

What is your question?

The question is the same thing I asked everybody.

That this is being called the empowering voters

to stop Trump's power grab.

Every other candidate has answered this question.

This is not argumentative. And I said, I support it.

So, and the question is,

what do you say to the 40% of voters who voted for Trump?

Oh, I'm happy to say that.

It's the do you need them to win part

that I don't understand.

I'm happy to answer the question as you have it written

and I'll answer it.

And we've also asked the other candidates,

do you think you need any of those 40%

of California voters to win?

And you're saying, no, you don't.

No, I'm saying I'm gonna try to win every vote I can.

And what I'm saying to you is that,

Well to those voters, okay, so you--

I don't wanna keep doing this, I'm gonna call it.

Democrat, can't argue, can't debate.

You're not gonna--

The lady interviewers of Democrat.

I know, that's the best of things.

I'm not with every follow-up

to every single question you ask.

Every other candidate has--

I love how she handled it.

I don't care.

I love how she handled it, people on the line.

I don't care. I have this conversation which you asked me

about every issue on this list.

And if every question,

you're gonna make up a follow-up question,

then we're never gonna get there.

Miss Porter.

And we're just gonna circle around.

I have never had to do this before, ever.

Look at it, never been challenged.

You've never had to have a conversation with--

I've never been challenged like this.

Okay, but every other candidate has done this.

What part of, I'm me, I'm running for governor

because I'm a leader.

Jeez.

So I am going to make--

So you're not gonna answer questions from reporters?

Okay, why don't we go through,

I will continue to ask follow-up questions

because that's my job as a journalist,

but I will go and ask these.

I love how boys she's staying on.

If you don't wanna answer, you don't wanna answer.

She's a Christian.

So nearly every legislative--

I don't wanna have an unhappy experience with you.

(laughing)

I'm not so on camera.

I'm not.

I'm not having an experience with you either.

Now she's embarrassed.

I would love to continue to ask these questions

so that we can show our viewers

what every candidate feels

about everyone in the district.

By the way, pause it right here.

This is nothing compared to the next one.

This next one is how she loses it

on one of her team members.

Watch this.

This is what you call greatness, folks.

This is made for, the world needs to see this.

She was a rock star the last 24 hours on X.

Everybody and their mothers wanted to make sure

people knew how sweet she is.

Watch this one, go ahead, imagine this.

We did a study recently this fall--

Look to her right or left.

And what it showed is if we don't electrify

our transportation sector,

so we're gonna lose more than half a million

California's dying prematurely

to air pollution and other problems,

and the state could lose,

(beep)

get out of my fucking shot.

Wow.

I wanted to tell you that that's actually incorrect.

It's not that it's electric vehicles,

it's that if we don't make a commitment

to any of Paris climate reporting.

Okay, it does, okay.

You also were in my shot before that.

Stay out of my shot.

(laughing)

I'm gonna start again.

Is she filming in her living room?

In her kitchen, what do you mean?

That's the fridge or what?

Do you remember when Elizabeth Warren

had the beer in her kitchen?

They're doing the same thing.

They're trying to make her,

hey, I'm a middle class screaming wench

of a stepmother just like you have.

And just really quick, just to point out,

the assistant or whoever that is,

is wearing a mask, takes it off to talk,

and then puts it back on.

Just how good are the gritties people?

I would take off the mask,

project my suite. She goes from suite.

Look at this, go ahead.

Oh yes, this is why I didn't wanna,

I need the lights off, the bright lights.

I'm so sorry, but I am about to get on,

Bernard, I need you to turn these off.

Bright lights, bright lights.

These that are killing me.

She's in someone else's studio.

Hang on one second, everybody.

She's in somebody else's studio.

Demanding, look at this.

Yes, yes we should have, yes.

Okay, everybody, I'm not that dark.

Oh, look at her, not that dark.

I'm googling her husband as this happens.

I have to find out who he is.

Just a minute.

She's bearing the backyard, baby.

There's no chance she's married.

You can pause it right now.

How much you wanna bet she's not married?

She's married.

The best part is-- Okay, the daughter.

Oh, that's right, is she still married?

I'm gonna take a guess.

He's, you think she let him divorce?

Are you crazy?

Can you fact check that?

I'm looking at him.

There's no chance I'm due to stay and marry her.

I'm just guessing, I don't know, I could be wrong.

She was married to Matthew Matt Hoffman from 2003

until they divorced in 2013.

Okay, bingo.

Nobody's dealing with that. She's got three kids.

Wow.

Listen, she went to Harvard.

20 Yale. She went to Yale.

That's the problem.

She has gone after a lot of big business people, okay?

By the way, she is famous for going viral,

for going after billionaires.

So just so you know that, like this isn't somebody,

this isn't somebody that can't win.

She could win.

Oh, she probably will.

But Pierce Morgan put her in her place here

when she was going up and arguing why Riley gains this,

Rob, you just had the clip up,

Riley gains this, Riley gains that,

and then Pierce Morgan is like,

"What are you talking about?

"What did Riley gains say that you disagree with?

"What did Riley gains say that you have a problem with?"

And then she's like, "Riley, this is a victory

"for Pierce Morgan on Bill Maher."

Go ahead, Rob.

Well, to have a civil debate,

nobody, including Riley gains,

who I disagree with strongly should be--

What do you disagree with out of interest?

Watch this.

I think that it should be up to sporting bodies

to make the decisions about who and how she--

And what did she say that's actually wrong?

I think that what she has done

is try to turn this,

we talked about people becoming,

using things to kind of get likes and get clicks.

That's not what she's doing.

It's not?

I mean, I've got no truck to write against personally,

but all I've seen her do is stand up

for women's rights to fairness and equality.

But she has to.

She actually competed against Leah Thomas,

and it was obviously unfair.

Leah Thomas won one of the races in the NCAA championships

by 50 seconds against a bunch of biological females

who simply couldn't keep up.

That cannot be right.

It cannot be fair.

That is something that I trust,

I think our sporting bodies should be dealing with.

And by the way, Riley is speaking up for herself,

and that is her prerogative,

and I respect her free speech.

I think she's speaking up

for pretty much every female athlete in the world.

(audience applauding)

He wasn't that--

It was a bit more of a point of Title IX.

Title IX in the early 70s was something that was--

It was a major event in--

10 years to get Title IX ladies,

what are the chances of Katie Porter actually winning

and becoming a governor of California?

If she's the Democratic nominee

because of the way that the registered voters are

and what they appear to be showing,

it's about 85%, 90% right now,

because she's probably going to be the Democrat nominee.

And then from there, you just look at the voting.

And by the way, I think it's close.

I think the Republican candidate crosses 40,

which would be unusual,

but I would say, what if you see like a 57, 41, three,

because green libertarian?

You see something like that,

suddenly you realize that there's a shift.

California, I got so many people I love up there

and things that I love up there,

and I remember what I love, I grew up with such history,

and I'm just so disgusted by what has happened,

and so are all the people that I know and love,

but I feel like, is it possible the pain hasn't gotten

tough enough for Californians to finally look at

the leadership and the brand of leadership?

Look past the people, look at the brand of leadership

and look at what you're getting out of it

and what's happening.

Forget the people, just say to yourself,

are we better off than we were eight years ago?

If not, why?

Look at policy, look at things, look at the economy,

look at the high speed rail that you can't see

because it's not there.

Look at all that, take people out of it.

Don't those voters see enough in that to say,

wow, maybe something else should be there?

But if she's a Democrat nominee, I'm on record.

56, 41 and three.

Vinny.

Well, I'm happy that you guys get to see,

and again, Californians, for the love of God,

please start paying attention,

because these are the people that are gonna run your state

and keep it running like a runaway train

that's gonna go nowhere, okay?

And this is another clip I want everybody to see, Pat.

This is, it's a 2020, I think she was on,

it's MSNBC, right?

Great impulse.

She, great, amazing, she's so happy.

The fact they're comparing,

the interviewer's comparing Biden inflation with abortion,

and you're not gonna believe that.

She goes, it's not comparing,

she pushes them together basically saying,

because of groceries and everything are bad,

we need to have abortions, because if you can't afford it,

you could kill the baby.

I'm not even joking, play this,

this is what she's trying to say.

President Biden has said that inflation

is the number one priority for the Biden White House

to try to get under control right now.

As you're out there in California talking to constituents

during this reelection year for Congress,

how does inflation compare to this newly important

in the sense of the Supreme Court decision pending

an abortion issue?

How do those two issues compare?

Watch this, not compare.

Well, I don't think they compare.

I think they actually reinforce each other.

So the fact that things like inflation can happen

and it can become more expensive to feed your kids

and to fuel your car is exactly why people need

to be able to be in charge of how many mouths

they're gonna have to feed.

So I think the fact that we're seeing this jump in expenses.

Am I taking crazy pills?

That we're seeing people having to pay more

in the grocery store, pay more at the pump.

Can you stop it?

Guys, you understand that?

She's saying, guys, listen,

and this is during Biden, right?

She's like, "Grocies are gonna be expensive.

So if you're pregnant, that should be a reason

for you to kill the baby in your stomach."

And this is just, I wanna show where people,

where leftist brains are at.

Trump just won the election in 2024.

Listen to what she says about her 12 year old daughter

and why she was crying and who taught her this.

Go ahead, Rob.

On election night, I went to pick up my daughter

from water polo practice and she's 12

and she got in the car and she was crying.

And I said, "Did someone punch you?"

Like water polo's a rough--

Did somebody hit you?

I was like, "Did someone hit you?"

Did the coach yell at you?

What happened?

And she said, "Mom, Trump won.

Trump's gonna win.

And what if I get raped and I need to have an abortion?"

This is from a 12 year old, my 12 year old daughter.

And so it was really a reminder of how scary this time is.

I can't even watch it.

So who is pumping your kid?

Is that God's teaching your kid that if I get,

like I wanna be able to have abortion,

my body, my choice, that is who this person is.

What are the odds of fabrication in that story?

No, zero.

90%.

She's telling the truth, meaning.

No, no, he's saying what are the chances she's lying

and that never happened?

We don't know, we can't say--

My speculation is 90%.

I'm right there with you.

Oh, you guys say like she's lying.

My speculation is she's using this.

Oh, got you.

By the way, you may say 90% is true

and it could have happened, but that's because of her.

But either way, what 12 year old kid says,

"If I get raped and I wanna get an abortion,"

if a 12 year old kid says that, it's the mom's fault.

100%.

Period, if a 12 year old kid says that.

Adam, your thoughts on this?

So the future governor of California, Katie Porter.

So they have the mayor of LA, Karen Bass,

and she's potentially gonna be the next governor,

so we've all seen those viral videos of Karen

just complaining and it's a Karen, it's a Karen,

it's a Karen, this woman is the definition of a Karen.

Just complaining, argumentative, just obnoxious, loud,

and then playing the victim, that's what it comes down to.

This is the modern Democrat party, which is unfortunately,

and I hope they can get out of this mess,

you have a situation on Bill Maher, I believe,

where a man named Pierce Morgan is defending a woman

named Riley Gaines against a female woman, I think,

potential governor, who's defending a trans woman.

This is the Democratic party.

A man is defending a woman who's basically saying,

"Yeah, he doesn't wanna compete against

Leah Thomas, men in the swimming pool,"

and the governor of potential California is like,

"No, I stand with the trans woman,"

like we're in backwards world over here.

They need to get back to doing what the Democratic party

used to be about, it has no clue what it is at this point,

cost of living, inflation, rent, paying your bills,

how much health insurance costs, unfortunately,

they're so focused on DEI and woke and trans stuff,

they forget about the fall of the money.

But let me ask you a question, Adam,

let's really try, just really, really quick.

There's no hope, meaning they're not changing gears at all.

They're doubling down, they are not stopping,

and by the way, I'm happy because that makes common sense,

gonna stay in the White House and the

House and the Senate and everything.

Adam, what needs to happen for these people to understand

you guys have to change the game plan?

It's literally nothing is working, zero.

And when I ask people, not you, I'm saying I ask Democrats,

"What do you guys stand for?

How many podcasts have we been on where you say,

"What do you stand for?

What is the vision?

Who are your leaders?

It's nothing, bro."

And what scares me is when they, once they're realizing this

and they're like, "Oh, we have nobody, we have nothing."

You know what they resort to?

Riding in the streets, fighting in the streets,

fighting eyes, fighting like an antifa,

because listen, there's nothing else.

You see how angry people get when they have nothing to argue?

She, you saw at the time, she lashed out,

putting her hands at body language

because you don't have an argument.

And when you don't have an argument, you leave the violence.

She's controlling the media.

They're used to briefing with the media.

The media is their lap dog.

The media sets up the interview.

And when somebody in the media has the

temerity to actually conduct a regular thing,

then it's there.

I think we should play into the lunacy.

They want abortion at 24 weeks.

I want 900 weeks.

900 weeks would be 75 years old.

And then I could go after Schumer.

Play into the lunacy.

Play into it.

Play it out.

Let's play it out.

How long?

How far do you want abortion?

I want 900 weeks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's what I want.

I appreciate that.

You asked how can they reverse this?

How can they change this?

If you're in charge of the demi-- if you're the leader,

let's say it's Hillary.

What do you tell them, like, guys, we have to check--

what do you do?

Until they're losing California.

They don't-- they're not going to change the message.

So the only way that they're going to

change is when they hit rock bottom.

This is it.

Because just like if it's an alcoholic,

just like if somebody needs to go to

rehab, it's like, buddy, we need to talk.

Listen, this--

We're going to check you into rehab.

Aren't they there?

Well, there's a big difference between California

and the rest of the country.

California can still double down on the nonsense

because, as she said in the beginning part of the interview,

she's like, I got 60%.

This other 40% nonsense I'm not even worried about.

There's 40% Republicans.

I got 60%--

And refuse to admit it.

She doesn't even have to, like, compromise.

But in a general election or during midterms

or if you're in a swing state, you better wake up

or you're going to be just doubling down on nonsense like this.

So I wouldn't use California as

sort of like a canary in the coal mine

of what the Democratic Party is going to be.

You got to watch what they're

going to do in sort of swing states.

By the way, she is the leading candidate.

She's an--

I just looked it up.

She is the leading candidate.

She's Governor--

She's number one, okay?

She's currently polling strongest in early surveys.

Number two is Javier Basera.

He's the former US Secretary of Health and Human Services

and former Attorney General of California.

Brings deep institutional experience on statewide profile.

Rob, if you want to pull him up, Javier Basera.

Hi, I need to--

Who's a Republican that's going--

Antonio Villagrosa.

Oh, okay.

And then Tony Thurmond.

And then you have Betty Lee.

She was a former California controller.

She has announced a campaign.

Okay.

And Stephen Klubek.

He's a businessman, founder of Diamond Resorts.

Less of a political veteran but seen in the mix.

Is Rick Caruso running or the coal Shanahan either?

He most likely will be.

On the other side.

He most likely will be.

Yeah, you've seen this face.

He wrote a business book.

I think they just--

Yeah, he just mailed this book to me.

Yeah, yeah, Mateo.

Yeah, I just got his book.

Can you pull up his book?

Yeah, they just sent his book to my office.

Yeah, right there.

They just sent a book to my office.

This guy's a money guy.

He's made real money.

And so he may be running on the left side.

Rob, can you check who's running on the conservative side?

Who will be running on the Republican side for California?

I feel like anyone who's running has to run as a Democrat

because once they have that R next to their name,

it's like, you lost.

They don't even need to put the name there.

Like Larry Elder would have done such a more of an amazing job

as Gavin Newsom.

But because he had an R next to his name, they're like,

you're racist.

He's like, I'm black.

Chad Bianco, Riverside County Sheriff.

We know him.

And Steve Hilton, I was talking to Steve,

if you remember at Turning Point USA, front row.

The guy came in.

We started a good looking guy.

Oh, big guy?

No, no.

Okay, gotcha.

Yeah.

But we'll see.

We'll see what's going on.

California, we will be praying for you is what we'll do.

We'll be praying for you.

But remember, never leave the state.

Stay.

You're under arrest.

You cannot leave folks.

You have to stay.

Adam, go ahead.

I'm just going to make a quick confession.

I'm not praying for California.

I don't care.

I live in Florida.

I love Florida.

I love Miami.

I love for Lauderdale.

This is where I'm at.

The Armenian people are coming to take over Boca.

California, best of luck.

Good luck out there.

I'm not praying for you.

These guys may.

I'm definitely praying.

Not me.

Because they need to wake up.

Yeah.

Well, it is what it is, man.

Maybe the government shutdown with no air traffic control.

Burbank is a good thing.

Yeah.

They can't escape.

They can't escape.

Let's go to the next one.

Communities will not survive.

Okay.

Insurance nightmares could empty small California towns.

Listen, California, I know it feels like you woke up today.

You're like, what the hell?

First two stories.

Give us a break.

We haven't had California stories in a minute,

so we're going to give you guys some love.

At least they got the Dodgers winning, you know.

That's right.

Tom. You know what?

They didn't win the way I wanted them to win.

Really?

I wanted them to win.

There's better ways of winning.

But you know what?

I'm going to accept the victory, but I

wish it would have wanted a different way.

I just don't want to bring it up.

I'm in a bad mood right now.

Well, at least good news is LeBron's out a couple of weeks.

Congratulations to the Dodgers for advancing.

We will celebrate for you.

You have to realize the number one team I root for is who?

When they're Yankees.

The Yankees.

Obviously.

Number two team I root for is the Dodgers.

Of course.

I want them to win.

I'm rooting for the Dodgers to win the World Series.

All right.

So next, let's see what we got here.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
