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.
