Speaker 1 (00:00):
Up next, Luna Talks with Anna Paulina Luna part of
the gang which the effort to recall Democrat Governor Gavin
Newsom fails. More evidence of voting issues emerges in California,
and I meet the one and only President Donald Trump himself.
Stay tuned for a jam packed episode. This is Luna
Talks with Ana Paulina. Welcome back to today's episode of
(00:24):
Luna Talks with Me, your host on Paulina Luna. As
you know yesterday and as we had actually moved forward
this week with coverage of the special election for the
recall efforts in California against Gavin Newsom, we saw that
everyone and their grandmother in leftist politics are really establishment
(00:46):
Democrats did not want to lose Gavin Newsom. I wonder
why you had Joe Biden, you had Obama, you had
Kamala Harris, even AOC talking about the importance of holding
calif Mornia and that they could not lose California. Well, no,
sooner did they start doing that than yesterday, and really
(01:07):
the day before we started seeing videos actually on kt
L A five what is going on? We spoke with
several concerned voters here in the West San Fernando Valley,
who believes something wonky had been going on at places
like El Camino Real Charter High School in Woodland Hills.
This place opened up as an early polling location, opened
(01:29):
ten am to seven pm daily. But several people tell
us they showed up to vote this morning in the
special California governor recall election, and we're told that computer
showed they had already cast their ballots. So what I
went to al Camino High School to vote out there
(01:50):
at ten thirty. Gave her this and she scanned it
and said you voted, And I said, no, I haven't,
and she said, this has been happening all morning. The
man next to me was arguing the same thing. Well,
I asked the couple of young women that I talked
to and I said, are you, by any chance Republicans?
(02:10):
She said yes, and I said, well so am I.
So that's obviously that viral clip that we saw going
around on the internet yesterday, and I was getting messages
all day long. How do we fight this? How do
we really fight back against what they're trying to do
with the elections? Well, in this instance, in particular, we
heard a great clip that I'll roll for you guys.
In a little bit from her Meat Dylan last night
(02:31):
actually talking about how they loaded the wrong voter rolls
onto the computers, so it was from previous elections, so
if they did show up to vote, it had actually
showed that they had already voted. Whether it was done
by gross negligence or whether it was done on purpose,
either way, it should have never happened. And who knows
how many other places in California that this actually happened
(02:53):
in the point is is that if you want to
help out, if you want to actually make a change
and ensure that your vote matters, I cannot say this enough,
you really have to get involved at the local level.
I know sometimes when you talk about being a poll
watcher or when you talk about running for supervisors of elections.
(03:13):
I know it's not a sexy job title, okay, but
that is one of the most important, overlooked jobs probably
in politics today, and I think it does matter. It
matters because those people ensure that these problems do not happen,
and when it's not done correctly, you have this happened.
And honestly, a lot of those videos that were circulating
that did come out of kt L A five and
(03:35):
people were recording. I think did depress a lot of
people from actually being able to go to the polls
and to vote because they thought that their vote wouldn't matter.
I did hear other instances in California where people went
in they had no issues. But the point is is
that the more help that you have in an election,
if you're doing your job, if you're wanting to uphold
the law and make sure that people are actually voting correctly,
(03:57):
then you really do need to get involved at these
local level goals. So listen to what Harmie Dylan says,
though she really goes into the specifics of what Larry
Elder would have done for California and how the broke
down worked for the whole recall efforts, and I think
it's showing and it's telling that Californians, especially Democrats, are
not happy and independence are not happy with what has
(04:19):
happened with the I think establishment Democrat persona of rules
for thee but not for me. We know Gavin Newsom
was definitely, I think the poster boy for that. But
when you hear about the numbers of people that came
out regardless of party affiliation to recall this man. You
realize that in two during the California next suber notatorial
(04:41):
and also to during the turnout for the midterm elections.
I do believe that Gavin Newsom will have something to
worry about, and that is with Larry Elder. I do
believe that Larry Elder we know now is the Republican
that has the most support in all of California. And
if people can just behind him and stop splitting the
(05:02):
vote and stop chasing these pipe dreams where they think
that they will be the next governor, give Larry Elder
a chance. Okay, Larry Elder has the most name idea.
He is exactly what California needs. Listen to what her
meat says hermat Um. Newsom obviously looks pretty strong. Is
a huge amount of money behind him. We don't know
the final vote count. But if he does prevail, what
(05:25):
does it mean for California. What does it say about
the future of the California GOP. Well, I'm not sure
it says anything about the future of the California GEOP, Laura,
because over a third of the people who signed this
recall petition were not Republicans. They were Democrats and independence
and so I think what you're gonna find is that
while Gavin Knewsom won with advantage in three years ago
(05:47):
when he became the governor, if he wins tonight, it's
gonna be by a much narrower margin. So his support
is shrinking. And I think that's to send a very
strong signal to Democrats and to you know, anybody who's
representing voters in California. Yet, look, Laura, and all the
lawsuits filed you've had me come on talk about regarding
the COVID restrictions, A lot of those had plaintiffs who
(06:07):
were Gavin Newsom voters and Democrats. So people are fed
up about the schools, about the businesses being shut down,
about our liberty being taken away, churches being closed, the fires,
the crime, the lack of water, the illegal immigration issues,
you name it. And so I think that this recall itself,
and and all of the millions of people voting to
(06:30):
replace Gavin Newsom should be a wake up call for Democrats. Now,
we heard some we heard some concern about voter issues
or people being told that when they got to the
polls they had been told they were already had already voted,
when they had not voted and so forth, particularly Republicans
showing up to polling places. UM, watch this perspective. I
(06:54):
didn't believe it at first. UM, I said, and we'll
check again, and they checked and we checked like, no,
it shows that you've already voted, and and we were
just both in shock. We're like, what wasn't us? So
they handed us the provisional ballots and it's like, you
can feel this out and and uh, we will cast
it that way. And I'm like, well, what's your process
and that we will compare your signatures and depending on
(07:16):
the signature, that will select whichever vote that seems right hermade.
Is this anecdotal? Pervasive? What do we know? Well, this happened.
It is not pervasive. It happened in two polling places
in Los Angeles County. And I will tell you that
there's likely to be litigation in Los Angeles County over
multiple incidents of what I can only call incompetence at best. UM.
(07:38):
There are many issues that I don't have time to
detail here, but it was it was rectified, and it
wasn't the case that people were voting for these particular voters,
but rather that the incompetent l a registrar had had
old poll books from a prior election loaded on so
that when they came to vote electronically in person, it
(07:58):
was shown that they had they voted in the last election.
So this is you know, dominant, really undermines confidence of voters,
and the story spread like wildfire, but in fact, we
only got those reports that day on Saturday from a
few voters. Um any voters being misled and told their
vote isn't going to count is too many. But that
is incompetent as opposed to something else. But there are
(08:20):
other issues that we could talk about. But you know,
ultimately I think there will need to be some legal
effort to clean up. So you heard it there. They
are going to pursue legal action. I do believe that
sometimes that's the only way that you can really fix
the law or at least ensure that people are doing
their jobs correctly. And unfortunately it does get expensive. But
you know, we have good people that support these campaigns
(08:41):
and then the campaigns. Similarly what I did in my
Twitter suit this last campaign cycle, these donations go directly
to that, so it really does help out not just
the candidate and the campaign, but also to I think
the country and legislation. So to segue on that, and
I know I've been talking to gear Off here for
a minute, but I do want to get into my
next big topic. I had many people asking me about
(09:03):
my big news yesterday, and if you didn't see it,
make sure that you check out my most recent posting
on all of my social media accounts about who I
met with, and that is President Donald Trump. I want
to get into that meeting real quick. We'll be right
back after this short break. So my much anticipated meeting
(09:24):
with President Donald Trump. Arguably one of the greatest presidents
of our time, and I do believe again he will
be the next president of the United States. But I
can tell you it could not come at a more
perfect time, especially because of every crazy thing that we
are seeing out of Washington, d C. So the first thing,
he looks incredible. He has a lot of high energy,
(09:46):
and I definitely think that he will be running for
office in after my meeting. I can also tell you
that he understands the importance of really cleaning up the
Republican Party and ensuring that p people with backbones are
elected and not the squishy country club Republicans that think
(10:06):
that their job is going to be to hang out
in Washington, d C. And not actually fight for the
rights of the American people. He understands that, and I
do believe that is exactly why he is getting involved
in every single Republican primary for an open seat, a
redistricted Republican seat, as well as these ten that voted
for impeachment. And you know what, I think that that
(10:28):
is the best thing that any president could have done,
especially him. We know that, especially with the Republican and
the conservative voting base, that President Trump is arguably one
of the most influential people who vets people who is
able to really say this person will uphold everything that
(10:49):
I talk about and will be a fighter for you.
And I think, especially after what we observed over the
last couple of months with everything in d C and
how I really do believe sometimes the GOP has just
completely lost its backbone. This is something that he is
going to leave as his legacy. Just like the appointment
of all those judges. I think he was one of
(11:10):
the presidents that has appointed more judges than any other person,
to include George Washington, and not simply because George Washington
started this country. So they may not have been that
many judges at that point in time. But I can
tell you that after my meeting with him, I was
calling and I told some members of my family that
had typically on the past been Democrats, and after I
(11:34):
explained to them my meeting. Because I'm the type of
person that really does believe when you meet someone, and
I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about,
you can just pick up on that energy, and you
know when these people are either liking you or they don't,
or they're in a bad mood or good mood. You
can sense those vibes, right, And so I was explaining
to my family members his energy, and he has such
(11:56):
a kind and such a warm energy. And after I
was gonna explaining everything and just talking about our conversation,
I had one of my family members say what the
media did to him was wrong. And that right there
just goes to show how complicit the media really is
in all of the turmoil that we are seeing in
this country. Because I do believe if the American people knew,
(12:18):
and maybe I might have people listening to this that
that are you know, listening to it because they're going
to try to get me because they don't like the
fact that I'm a Republican or that I'm conservative. So
this is for you. If you had the opportunity to
genuinely meet this man, I don't believe that you would
have the same viewpoints that you do. From my understanding
and from my interactions with him, he is a good man.
(12:40):
And I can tell you that the media can be relentless,
and there are many people on many different occasions who
will intentionally miss quote. I know that I've been a
victim of it, intentionally misquote or done articles to make
people look bad, and that's not right, and especially with media,
when it is your job to report the news and
to inform people, I would even argue to better help
(13:01):
your society. It's almost a moral obligation to skew your
perspective into politics and then lie about people in an
effort to hurt them. That is when you know that
you probably should find a different job. So if people
could just see how this man was, he is honestly
one of the greatest people to have a conversation with.
(13:22):
He's so warm, he's so honest, and exactly like you
see him on television. Nothing changes. He is the exact
same person and what it is that he's really honest.
And I think that that when people say, oh, well,
you know why is President Trump so effective with voters,
it is because he tells the truth. And although and
(13:43):
it's unfortunate that it is an uncommon thing today in
politics that people do not want to be truthful, he
is not afraid of it, and I respect him for it,
and I'm very blessed to have had that opportunity. And
I can tell you to give you hope. I do
believe that he will be on the campaign treo or
I do believe that we will take back the House
after having that meeting, probably with more than just five seats.
(14:06):
I do believe that because in most states, how it
works with Congress is that every couple of years, according
to the census, you do redistricting. And what that means
is that you actually change the congressional districts. So the
congressional districts are based on populations, and because you change
those districts, then that actually determines the voting block of
(14:29):
that district. So a lot of these places sometimes they
might have independent, nonpartisan councils that will actually draw those
congressional districts. Sometimes it's controlled by Democrat or Republican state legislature.
But because of the fact that we are redistricting this
year and many of these legislatures are Republican, not saying
(14:50):
that they're going to Jerrymander, but it is anticipated that
we will be picking up more Republican seats, and so
I'm very hopeful and I hope that that gives you, guys,
is a peace of mind, because I realized that there's
so much negative coming out of the media and it
does get sometimes hard to kind of see what's happening
from the White House. I know that right now there
(15:10):
wasn't a lot of coverage of it, but it should
have been. General Millie was actually up and testifying basically
on his gross incompetence with Afghanistan and then come to
find out, I guess we actually discovered that he did
something really shady in regards to illegal communications with China,
and a lot of people aren't talking about that. But
(15:30):
to my knowledge, if you go behind the sitting president
of the United States, if you go behind their back,
I think that you can be court martialed. And I'm
not the only one. I think many people are talking
about this. There was a headline by Breitbart that said
rain Paul calls from Millie to be court martialed removed
because he went around Trump included with China. And I
highly encourage you guys to all read that article. But
(15:53):
you know, we have to hold these people accountable. And
so yes, it can be draining at times, but you
know what, it's a d percent worth it. So before
I go, I want to close with this. We had
a huge social media firestorm over a dress and yes,
you know what dress I'm talking about. I'm talking about
(16:13):
AOC's tax the rich met Gala ball gown that she
wore to an event that on average costs thirty five
thousand dollars a ticket. We'll get right back into that
fashion fiasco right after this quick break. So we have
(16:34):
AOC and you know what, I will say this, she
knows how to get a headline. And I do believe
that she was copying. If you guys remember that famous
Maga dress that Joy Vila, who is a Grammy Award
nominee and I believe record winner, and she actually wore
that to the Grammys and she made headlines everywhere. And
(16:56):
I do believe that if you want to send a message,
especially in crossing over to the culture aspect of our country,
meaning you want to talk to the younger generation and
you want to see him hip and cool or send
a political message, you have to do it at these events.
So she shows up to the met which is one
of the most anticipated events of the year. I'm talking
(17:17):
for every young girl around the world that's into fashion
probably looks and anticipates what people celebrities, designers, influencers, everyone
what they'll wear to this event. She shows up and
she's in this dress that says tax the rich. A
lot of people are making Chick fil A comparisons, But
think about the message it's sending. Right, she wants to
(17:39):
tax the rich at an event that typically costs per
table two and seventy five thou she makes a hundred
and seventy four thousand a year. I highly doubt that
she paid thirty five thousand dollars for a ticket, So
it was probably one of her donors or probably someone
that allowed her to attend because she's a member of Congress.
But think about the message it's sending. It's sending it
(18:00):
she wants to enjoy everything that the wealthy enjoy, right,
This being one of them. This is not an event
for your average Joe. And I can tell you that
I definitely wouldn't be able to afford to attend this event,
but that she's not really explaining what all goes into that, right,
And so that's typical socialist behavior. And it's kind of
scary because a lot of the younger generation. You had
(18:23):
her there with someone from Vogue covering this. A lot
of people don't realize that when you start to put
this legislation forward, and I will remind you that a
s C Has paid a substantial amount for her documentary
bringing down the House, so she's wealthy. This legislation typically
(18:43):
never works, and it's typically always absorbed by the middle class.
And because of that, it is probably one of the
scariest things that anyone could be doing, especially when you
know that it's going to go viral because of the
message that it's sending to people who might not know
these facts. So we really do we see this and
I know a lot of people are making fun of
her for it, but I'm looking at this and I'm saying,
(19:05):
we really do have to fight fire with fire, because
this in sending the message and realizing that many people
in pop culture and in Hollywood will support this, and
there are so many younger people that don't follow politics
that will think that this is a good idea that
is alarming, and it's alarming for a number of reasons.
(19:26):
So I think that we might have some tricks up
sleep here at Gingerge through sixty. Make sure you stay
tuned for that. But we really do for as much
as you know we don't like her policies, we do
have to make sure that Republicans are better at branding
because this type of display, this type of interaction that
(19:46):
we see her have with a lot of voters that
typically most people in politics cannot reach, makes her more
influential than even Joe Biden. And that is something especially
when someone talking about these democrat quote unquote socialist policies,
which there's no such thing as a democrat and a socialist.
(20:08):
Socialism is bad. Socialism kills, it is definitely something that's
destroyed countries, and we as a people have to ensure
that we are educating the younger generation so that this
type of policy, the freedoms that you and I enjoyed
are not gone for future generations. So make sure that
you come back hopefully by Friday, I think we'll have
(20:30):
a pretty interesting announcement on our social media's. But this
whole tax the rich and the dress and sending a message,
I think that that's just the beginning in regards to
being able to influence pop culture. And I highly encourage
everyone to really look at the impact that she had,
because everyone and their grandmother, to include us here on
Luna Talks, we're talking about it, and that is how
(20:52):
you know that a message is picking up traction and
we have to ensure again that this type of message
does not result in the law of our freedoms. Before
we go, I want to thank you guys so much
