Are you optimistic about the new talent that has, you know, just taken the, she's just a rock star, Katie Porter.
00:00:09.740
Are you, like, super optimistic that she's going to be, I mean, when you see clips like this of Katie, I'm in love.
00:00:21.780
Rob, if you want to play this clip, this is when you know, you know, love at first sight.
00:00:27.280
When she talks like you're like this, this is a keeper.
00:00:50.440
What breaks my heart, Rob, if you don't mind playing the Harry Enten clip of what happened with her, you know, percentages of what she could have done.
00:00:57.180
Because, to me, this is a once-in-a-generation type of a talent.
00:01:08.100
And California is going to waste this incredible talent that they have.
00:01:18.260
You know, I'm looking around, and I don't seem to see anyone in my shot over there.
00:01:22.620
So, I guess that makes me a little bit like, unlike Katie Porter, right?
00:01:26.920
But, look, the Katie Porter snappings, they have been heard around the world.
00:01:31.360
And I think that Katie Porter is making history because she has potentially annihilated her chances to be the next governor of California, more so than any other candidate I've ever seen so quickly.
00:01:46.720
According to the Cal sheet prediction market, Katie Porter's chances have fallen through the floor.
00:01:51.660
Just two days ago, she was the plurality leader in the prediction markets at 40%.
00:01:56.160
Now, get this, her chance has fallen by more than half to just 16%.
00:02:03.160
Meanwhile, Alex Padilla, who's not even running for governor of California at this point, he's a sitting senator from that state, his chances have gone up through the roof.
00:02:11.040
From 10% all the way to 27%, nearly gone up threefold.
00:02:15.360
Now, one of the big reasons why the prediction markets have moved so much on Katie Porter's chances to be the next governor of California is because people are really interested in this story.
00:02:26.560
Google searches for Katie Porter at an all-time high, despite Katie Porter having a long political career.
00:02:32.580
Get this, up over 10,000% versus just a week ago.
00:02:36.760
And not so surprisingly, the top topic search alongside Katie Porter at this point, interview.
00:02:42.820
It turns out maybe you shouldn't snap at a local political reporter.
00:02:46.660
But I'll tell you who else can't get enough of the Katie Porter story besides just the voters out in California and the people in the United States at large.
00:02:55.020
Fox News, if you have tuned in over the last two days and you tune in a particular hour, there's a pretty good chance you're going to see Katie Porter.
00:03:02.060
I mean, look at all of these segments that Fox News has been doing.
00:03:07.080
There have been segments featuring Katie Porter, get this, over 20 times, 20-plus times over just the last two days alone.
00:03:19.060
So are you excited about her at least being your governor instead of Newsom?
00:03:21.860
Like, there's got to be a little bit of enthusiasm with her, though, no?
00:03:25.520
Hey, I'd give her—I'm interested to, like, a tater tot type level, not a full—
00:03:32.740
Yukon, gold, loaded, steakhouse, chives, cheddar on the side, size.
00:03:40.920
I'm going to keep—I'm going to manage it at a tot level.
00:03:46.000
When you think about somebody like this, in spring of 2006, I made mashed potatoes for dinner.
00:03:52.880
Our oldest child, Luke, was sitting next to me in his high chair as I was getting ready for dinner.
00:03:58.500
Petitioner looked at—I think this is the husband's statement?
00:04:02.240
Petitioner looked at the potatoes in the ceramic bowl and yelled at me,
00:04:09.540
She then took the ceramic bowl of steaming hot potatoes and dumped it on my head, burning my scalp.
00:04:15.320
I am concerned for my safety and the safety of our children.
00:04:18.700
Petitioner's behavior has only gotten worse, more unpredictable,
00:04:22.160
and unstable, and the outbursts of abuse and anger have increased.
00:04:31.420
Wouldn't you want somebody this tough to be your leader?
00:04:40.380
You know, I don't care about General Patton yelling at a guy to get up because he's got the shakes and get out there and fight.
00:05:00.240
I was on to Katie Porter about five or six years ago because some bank, it was Washington Mutual or B of A or something,
00:05:08.180
issued a statement sort of saying, like, save your money, don't buy, you know, if you can walk to the restaurant, walk to the restaurant, don't take an Uber, make your own coffee, don't spend eight bucks at Starbucks.
00:05:21.180
And then she tore into the bank for suggesting people save their money.
00:05:28.760
She's nuts because it's the advice your grandfather would have said.
00:05:32.040
Like if you said, I moved out of the house, I don't have any money.
00:05:46.020
And she, along with Liz Warren, dug into the bank and attacked the bank and said, why don't you pay your employees and blah, blah, blah.
00:06:01.100
So I found this out and I was like, okay, this bitch is nuts.
00:06:04.400
And I don't want her anywhere near the controls of government.
00:06:12.360
So it's, they do a thing with Chase Bank and they do something cute with your checking account, your savings account.
00:06:27.960
Don't, don't take a cab, walk, get some exercise.
00:06:31.220
And so it's you having a talk with your, your bank account saying, I need more money in you.
00:06:36.060
And your bank accounts go and say, here's some practical ways to save.
00:06:51.420
We're saying, don't spend a bunch of money on sushi.
00:06:56.080
So I was like, okay, she's dumb and she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:07:08.500
It's the most innocent, it's the most innocent thing the bank could say, which is save your money.
00:07:19.300
But she goes in on the bank and says that people are saving it for rent.
00:07:22.700
And by the way, if you save money for lattes, you'll also have more money for rent.
00:07:34.580
That's a foundational playbook of the Dems and the Libs.
00:07:39.840
So if you see something like that, you have to flip it upside down and put the victims in a voting block, try to get them free stuff, and run to the vote.
00:07:54.400
And the yelling at the assistant part made me like her a little bit more.
00:08:02.840
I don't know if you announced it yet, but I think PBD is going to push for you because they do need some advocacy out there.
00:08:13.120
You guys are all California guys, born and raised.
00:08:17.340
You know how they say like 80% of people don't care about your problems, 20%?
00:08:22.000
I don't know where I'm at in California, but I'm certainly – I really don't care.
00:08:26.100
And I know we're talking – we talk about Newsom all the time.
00:08:30.020
She's sort of the villain, the heel on Fox News.
00:08:32.400
In my opinion, you know, Katie Potatoes, she's a train wreck, so they're just going to highlight that.
00:08:44.280
I was at this amazing, ridiculous house on the Venetian, like just mansion.
00:08:48.720
I was like, oh, like these guys were all Silicon Valley guys that moved here.
00:08:54.940
They're like, dude, we're done with that state.
00:08:57.300
Let's be optimistic, like Pat tries to do, Future Looks Bright.
00:09:01.460
I know that the kid is in the, you know, basement doing whatever the syringe is.
00:09:06.040
Because it seems to me that you guys won't change it, and the rest of the country really doesn't care about you guys.
00:09:14.640
Well, first off, you said California was sinking, because we need to put those caissons deeper into bedrock.
00:09:27.020
I was saying the other day, and, you know, you can tell me if you like this analogy or not.
00:09:32.560
California is like an old Ferrari that has completely fallen into disrepair, and it needs a restoration.
00:09:47.260
If you have an old Pinto or an old Chevy Vega, and it's rusting out, someone says, junk it.
00:09:54.540
But if you have an old Ferrari Dino or Daytona, someone goes, put 500 grand into it.
00:10:00.680
You know, don't junk it, because it was once something.
00:10:05.100
And California has the topography and the bones to be something, because it once was something.
00:10:11.980
So there is an element of wanting to just walk away from it.
00:10:16.600
But on the other hand, you wouldn't walk away from a classic Ferrari.
00:10:26.380
It's just sitting out in the yard and getting rustier and falling apart every day.
00:10:31.680
You know, every year that goes by, it costs another 20 grand to restore that Ferrari, because it's getting worse and getting worse.
00:10:39.400
And now there's raccoons living in the trunk, right?
00:10:53.480
Because I agree with you on the Ferrari thing, or I know you're a Porsche guy.
00:11:04.220
I think that the most ardent leftists and the most progressive and the most whoever from San Francisco or Los Angeles,
00:11:14.660
eventually, when enough homeless people pile up in front of their bay window and their car gets broken into enough and enough stuff burns down,
00:11:24.880
eventually, even they hit their saturation point.
00:11:28.340
And they're not going to say it out loud, but they are going to start voting differently.
00:11:39.340
So, to you is, even if it's like this till the day you die and it doesn't change, you ain't leaving the state.
00:11:59.380
Every time we do the Vol Conference, if you've attended, you know this.
00:12:02.200
I stand up and I speak for probably 45 hours, is what I do, at the Vol Conference.
00:12:16.560
Eventually, for the last 25 years, I've always been on stage walking.
00:12:30.040
Like the Xenia, you carry it, I have so many of them, but they're so heavy.
00:12:33.100
Like you can literally curl the Xenia down, you know, the shoes, and you'll get a pump
00:12:37.760
And I wanted the combination of the Hoka, the On Cloud, the Super Foam, because there's
00:12:43.100
a big thing going on right now with the Super Foam where the bottom of the shoe, you wear
00:12:47.260
You know which ones I'm talking about, the On Cloud or the Hokas, right?
00:12:50.040
And I said, what if we take luxury and then combine it with the Super Comfort, what would
00:13:02.520
We made the shoe in Italy in five of the factories.
00:13:08.200
And by the way, the shoes we're about to launch and introduce to you right now, where you're
00:13:13.360
I've been wearing those shoes for the last 22 days straight.
00:13:23.000
It's the most comfortable shoes I have, yet it's authentic Italian leather wrap.
00:13:27.780
If you don't mind playing the video, go for it.
00:13:32.740
When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice
00:13:45.940
We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:13:52.100
We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality
00:13:59.500
Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:14:24.120
I want to kind of show this to everybody that knows this.
00:14:26.560
And I've worn pretty much every one of these shoes.
00:14:28.540
So if you compare this, the Italian leather, of course, it's made in Italy.
00:14:33.100
It's not assembled, made in China, assembled in Italy, 100% made in Italy, assembled in Italy.
00:14:38.460
It's FLBs, Berlutis, which are 1840, Fergamos are 895, Zennias are 1190, and Gucci's are 950.
00:14:45.820
Leather premium lining, all of them except for Gucci.
00:14:49.120
Laceless feature, it's the FLBs, the Berlutis, you have laces.
00:14:54.780
And then you have also the Zennias, and then the Gucci's have the laces.
00:14:57.380
I don't want to wake up in the morning, put laces on.
00:14:59.640
It took me three seconds to put my shoes on today.
00:15:02.520
Craftsman, five different Italian factories all made this shoe.
00:15:08.860
But the only shoe, these trainers, the only one in the world today,
00:15:12.680
according to the factories that told me this in Italy, that has the Super Foam,
00:15:16.980
the only one that has the same Super Foam used in the On Clouds and the Hocas,
00:15:22.200
it's the FLBs, and they're officially out, and you can place the order.
00:15:29.640
And when you say 1,000 of these pairs, they start from size, I believe, is it 8?
00:15:40.780
And the shoes that you can get today, the colors, you have access to, Rob,
00:15:44.440
if you can go back there, you can have access to those browns,
00:15:48.620
And by the way, the brown on the bottom, the stitching on the side is a left stitching.
00:15:52.260
If you can change the picture, and on the bottom, it says the future looks bright.
00:16:00.900
The only ones we have right now that you can get sent out today are the black and the browns.
00:16:05.940
If you do want the white to preorder, I would highly recommend you do so.
00:16:10.280
They're going to come out the second week of December.
00:16:11.920
So the white and the navy blue comes out the second week of December.
00:16:18.080
If you believe the future looks bright as much as we do, go place the order.
00:16:22.120
There's nothing like sitting in the boardroom with your trainers,
00:16:25.160
and you put your feet over your knee, and people look at the bottom of your shoe,
00:16:31.660
I'm excited to announce it, and I'm very happy for people to go sport it.
00:16:35.320
When you get them, take pictures, send it our way.
00:16:37.560
We're going to show all these shoes, all the pictures that are being taken.
00:16:39.800
I already got a bunch of them sent to me on Instagram.
00:16:45.180
Maybe buy it for your husband, buy it for your brother, buy it for your coworkers,
00:16:48.880
buy it for your best salespeople if you want to let them know the future looks bright.
