Tim MillerHOST
What's the most stretchy of the five? I like to push people to, you know, support the, the biggest challenges.
Robert GarciaGUEST
The two seats that for us, like we kind of have to win, this, this Darrell Issa seat, um, this Marnie Van Wolpert seat out in, uh, the kind of northern San Diego area for us is a critical seat.
Robert GarciaGUEST
If we win that seat, we're gonna be in great shape.
Robert GarciaGUEST
We, we'll have won all of our other seats, 'cause we have to defend, uh, Derek Tran, who is, uh, in Orange County.
Rebecca SugarHOST
Yeah.
A.R. HoffmanHOST
I mean, we have Darrell Issa, we have other people.
A.R. HoffmanHOST
So, you know, this is... will move to being a real bloc.
A.R. HoffmanHOST
And we haven't mentioned, maybe we'll briefly talk about the El-Sayed Rogers race-
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
That's Jim Desmond.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
And the reason why this race is so important is right now, be- before the gerrymandering, uh, San Diego County has only one Republican, uh, member of Congress, and that has been Darrell Issa.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
The area that he represents is, uh, pretty deep red.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
But then with Prop 50, and, and this was backed by Gavin Newsom, they gerrymandered the entire state so that it would take the amount of Republican congressmen in the state of California from nine to about five.
Lou PenroseHOST
47-38 seems odd.
Lou PenroseHOST
They did-- Now, the Democrats did redraw Darrell Issa's congressional seat, and they made it favor Democrats, but not by nine points.
Lou PenroseHOST
So how can Von Wolpert lead by nine points? But that's what the poll is, with 15% undecided.
Lou PenroseHOST
It's a hotly contested race.
Lou PenroseHOST
That seat is a Republican seat.
Lou PenroseHOST
The-- We only have one Republican congressman in San Diego.
Lou PenroseHOST
It's Darrell Issa, and I wanna keep it in Republican hands.
Lou PenroseHOST
So that's why if you do nothing else with that ridiculously long ballot, fill it all out.
Seth MeyersHOST
Even Republicans had to come out and denounce them.
Mike LawlerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Take, for example, Republican Jim Desmond, who's running to replace the retiring Republican Daryl Issa in California's redrawn 48th congressional district.
Mike LawlerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Desmond immediately had to come out and condemn the comments about the annihilation of his potential constituents.
Mike LawlerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Quote, I vehemently disagree with President Trump's comments.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
But, uh, Jim Desmond, he's running in the 48th.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
This is a seat that was previously held by Darrell Issa.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Uh, Darrell Issa decided not to run.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
This district has been gerrymandered.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
It is now, it, it was a safe red district before.
Kyle Kahn MullinsGUEST
So in the House and in Congress overall, there's only one Republican in our top five.
Kyle Kahn MullinsGUEST
That's San Diego area Republican, Darrell Issa.
Kyle Kahn MullinsGUEST
He earned his high rank on the list with a single investment holding.
Kyle Kahn MullinsGUEST
He owns an ETF, it's the iShares Semiconductor ETF, and it's worth between five and $25 million.
Kyle Khan-MullinsGUEST
So in the House, and in Congress overall, there's only one Republican in our top five.
Kyle Khan-MullinsGUEST
Uh, that's San Diego area Republican Darrell Issa.
Kyle Khan-MullinsGUEST
Um, he earned his high rank on the list with a single investment holding.
Kyle Khan-MullinsGUEST
He owns an ETF, uh, it's the iShares Semiconductor ETF, and it's worth between five and $25 million.
Lou PenroseHOST
So a new polling, new poll out.
Lou PenroseHOST
Uh, ABC 10 News put out a poll that shows that the race for the 48th congressional district, uh, Congressman Darrell Issa's seat, uh, is, uh, is in play as Democrat Mondy Vaughn Wilbert, who's a current city councilwoman here in San Diego, is now polling, what, nine points ahead of Republican Jim Desmond, with 15% of the voters still undecided.
Lou PenroseHOST
So that's where it is.
Lou PenroseHOST
I, I've said this before, and I'll say it again.
Cory GautereauxGUEST
I don't know.
Cory GautereauxGUEST
[laughs] Seems like a, a viable ask because we, the county gives these reservations a ton of money, and, uh, Darrell Issa, the congressman, sets aside money for special projects for the, the big ones, Barona, um, Viejas, and Sycuan.
Cory GautereauxGUEST
So it should be, could be an easy ask.
Cory GautereauxGUEST
Um, but we know that we're this close to the border.
