The vote count for L.A. Mayor could be painfully slow

What this episode covers

00:00 Oh, now, now we're hearing. Oh, now the excuses are coming, ladies and gentlemen. The excuses are coming in the Los Angeles mayor's race. The LA Times is saying the vote count for Cali. Well, this is all the races vote count for California governor. L.A. Mayor could be painfully slow. Do not expect instant gratification. So the steel is in the fixes in for Karen Bass. 00:28 fixes in for the Democrats in the jungle primary that they've got in California. So it's going to be painfully slow. It shouldn't be painfully slow, but we're going to watch those election returns tonight because we want to see what Spencer Pratt does with this amazing cat. And that's it. mean, just as an observer of these things, he's done a great job. He really has. Now, Spencer Pratt thinks he's going to win this thing tonight, but don't you worry, Spencer. 00:57 They're going to find the votes that they need to make sure that you don't win outright tonight. That's just a fact. Just a fact. Because we know one thing, as much as liberals, as much as Democrats like to get out there and say they love democracy, quote unquote democracy, as much as they claim to love this country, they really don't. In fact, it's quite the opposite. They hate this country. 01:26 They hate everything that it stands for. 01:31 because of some sort of a, let me tell you something, white guilt? 01:37 They should find some treatment for that. They should find some treatment for white guilt. In Rutland, Massachusetts, 01:47 They have cancelled... 01:52 their Fourth of July celebration because it's America's 250th anniversary. And this has sparked some backlash after, all right, so I'll tell you about that in just a second. But Rutland said today or last week that the cancellation was based solely on public safety considerations. It wasn't on politics. It wasn't on community opposition. So we understand how much this tradition means to our community. 02:22 and how disappointing this news is for many families. Rutland's Fourth of July celebration is a cherished tradition that brings neighbors and generations together. This decision to cancel was not made likely. However, the citizens of Rutland, they stood up. They said, you know what? 02:43 We'll pay for the security. We'll pay for the police to be there. We'll pay for the fireworks. And then the chief of police at Rutland, said, man, I'll do you one better. We got volunteers on the force that are going to volunteer their free time to come out and be the security for Rutland's 250th celebration of July 4th. All of this is taken care of. 03:13 So the community rallied and they donated $50,000. Now this isn't a big town. This is not a big town. It's a small town. And they've got deep ties to the American Revolution. 03:30 The town supported the patriot cause during the war and became the site of a conflict over local authority after captured Hessian prisoners were housed there following the American victory at Saratoga in 1777. Historians have described the dispute between Rutland town leaders and the Continental Army as an early test of local governance during America's founding. The town was also home to Revolutionary War General Rufus Putnam, 03:57 who served as George Washington's chief engineer during the war. Officials said that the celebration could not safely proceed because anticipated staffing cuts would leave police and fire departments unable to handle emergency services and the town festivities. Well, Rutland is one of those towns that wanted to defund the police, so they did. But now, police officers are actually standing up and saying, we'll help. 04:23 but the town of Rutland says no. So then the people of the town of Rutland who donated $50,000 said, okay, well, we'll just take our money back. And you know what the town of Rutland said? No, you can't have your money back.
