Larry Elder: Gavin Newsom is in 'serious trouble' and he knows it

[Music] he's stepping up to the plate to save the golden state on september 14th california will hold a special election to recall governor gavin newsom among the 24 gop candidates campaigning to replace him is my next guest he's the new york times bestselling author and host of the nationally syndicated radio program the larry elder show joining me now somebody named larry elder how you doing greg i'm good how are you thank you for having me all right i got my first question is are you crazy i mean california is california salvageable is it salvageable i really think it is the you know the legislatures are dominated by super majorities in the senate and the assembly but the governor has a lot of power even dealing with the hostile legislature including the power to declare a statewide emergency i have a line item veto i have the ability to appoint the commissioners and people to the public utility commission i also have that big thing known as the bully pulpit so there are a lot of things that i can do it's not hopeless we're talking about crime we're talking about rising cost of living we're talking about the outrageous homelessness and the way this man has ignored science while his own kids were enjoying in-person private education while shutting down schools for kids already behind we have among the lowest scores in california and 75 percent of black boys before the coronavirus pandemic rape could not read at state levels of proficiency and that was before the pandemic almost half of all third graders cannot i support choice in public education teachers union adamantly opposed to that and guess who's the largest funder of my opponent the teachers union of course yeah and if you talk i mean the the the sad thing about education i mean if you tackled education all the other problems get solved right i mean basically you you you absolutely crime homeless all that stuff is somehow linked to that those first years of life where essentially we have handed over that period of life to an elite class of activists and unionists essentially right well that's right my high schools crenshaw high school if you saw the movie boys in the hood that's my high school only two percent of kids are math proficient now the inner city parents polls show black and brown parents want the ability to say uh i want to put my kid into a charter school a private school or religious school and again the teachers union are adamantly opposed to that and when you look at where teachers pull their own school-age kids greg they're far more likely to have their own kids in private school than households that don't have public school teachers the people that know the school system the best aren't putting their own kids in them you know i want to talk to you about the homeless situation because it's the most obvious thing that you see whenever you land in la or san francisco these this is not the way people envision homelessness as like oh this family was thrown out of their house or it was a homeless veteran these are people that come with tents and they live they just live on the street a lot of them are healthy a lot of them are mentally ill but they refuse to leave and they have people on their side they have an act again an elite activist class that is there protecting them how do you get what would you do well that's right what the what the what the governor does and what the lawmakers do in sacramento is have what i call a housing first policy and that is to build homes and far more far more expensively than the private sector would do without dealing with the underlying reason why people are on the streets majority of them are mentally ill and have substance abuse problems those need to be dealt with there's all sorts of treatment centers we have all sorts of money for that and then you need to have low cost housing so to the extent that you can get some of them off the street where are they going to go the average price of a home in california is 150 more than the average price of a home in america and because of the rules and regulations and the environmental extremists the average price of a home in california is literally 50 more than otherwise would be so in other words you need to suspend some of the rules and regulations that are causing the private sector not to build low-cost housing we need to get the churches involved religious organizations involved in counseling people and getting them to become self-sufficient and then this problem over time can be solved what how do you feel about running against caitlyn jenner how do you do we know how you defer in some ways but politically well greg i want to take a punt on that one because this is a two-step deal right unless 50 plus one california vote to recall gavin newsom it doesn't matter how well the republicans do i'm way ahead of the other republicans i've raised way more money than all but one of them who can sell fund so i'm not worried about the republican side i just want people to remember why 2.2 million people signed their petition a good quarter of them are independents and democrats who want this guy out for all the reasons that i just now mentioned what do you think his chances are of being recalled because i just saw a poll now that looks like it could happen but then everybody i know there was that's this is just he's he's safe what do you what do you think i think he's in serious trouble and he knows it the the the polls are right in the margin of error about half of them want him gone about half of them don't and 53 even if they don't want him gone don't want him to have another four-year term so he is in trouble no matter what and i think and i know that he's worried about me that's why i'm urging people great to go to elder.com throw a little something in the tip jar because he can raise and spend an unlimited amount of money one teacher's union just gave him 1.8 million and shortly after it was obvious i was going to run the service employees union gave him 5 million it looks like he's going to spend anywhere from 50 to 75 million dollars to defeat me so i need people inside california and outside california to help me by going to elect elder.com awesome well thanks larry thanks for joining us best of luck i'm from california it's not the place i grew up in probably probably not even close at this point i don't even i don't even go there anymore but anyway i hope to one day return thanks larry all right up next hey sean hannity here hey click here to subscribe to
