♪ ♪ >> Tucker: SO, GAVIN NEWSOM IS THE GOVERNOR OF OUR LARGEST STATE CALIFORNIA. HE IS A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. THE BUT THE PROBLEM IS DEEPER THAN THAT. HE IS JUST A BAD GOVERNOR. THE STATE DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL. IT'S MORE CROWDED EVERY YEAR. IT'S DIRTY AS HELL. YOU'VE GOT JUNKIES LIVING ON EVERY STREET IN HONOR OF EVERY PARK AND THEY CAN'T EVEN PUT THE POWER ON. IT'S A FAILED STATE. IT'S EMBARRASSING. EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED BY IT. WHY DO WE ALLOW THIS AND WHY DO WE LET SOME TINY BRAINED LIKE AVENUES AND WRECK OUR PREVIOUS STATE? THAT'S HOW MOST PEOPLE FEEL, EVEN DEMOCRATS. A LOT OF PEOPLE JOINED THE RACE AND LAST WEEK, ONE OF OUR FRIENDS DID. LARRY ELDER, WHO IS A RADIO SHOW HOST JOINED IN THE RECALL EFFORT IN THE ELECTION TO REPLACE HIM. BUT NOW THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS TRYING TO KEEP LARRY ELDER OFF THE BALLOT. SO TODAY, HE ANNOUNCED THAT HE IS SUING CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE, SURELY WEBER FOR WRONGFULLY BLOCKING HIM FROM THE BALLOT. TALK ABOUT DEMOCRACY. HE SAYS HE HAS COMPLIED WITH STATE LAWS. LARRY ELDER JOINS US. SO MUCH FOR COMING ON. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RUN. UNLIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO RUN FOR OFFICE, YOU HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU BELIEVE. IT'S ALL ON THE RECORD. NO ONE NEEDS TO GUESS ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD DO BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT DECADES OF SAYING IT ALOUD. TELL US WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP YOU OFF THE BALLOT. >> WELL, TUCKER, WE HAVE GONE TO COURT. WE FILED A LAWSUIT LAST NIGHT. WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A HEARING TOMORROW. NOT ONLY ME. THERE IS ALSO A WOMAN WHO WAS THE FIRST CHINESE SHE SAID THAT SHE IS DOING IT FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW BEING DEPRIVED OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE FOR LARRY ELDER BECAUSE THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS DENIED ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ON THE BALLOT. WHAT THEY ARE ARGUING IS THAT TAX RETURNS, I DID REACT SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN REDACTED OR REDACTED SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN REACTED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS. SHE ELECTED NOT TO DO IT. AND THAT IS WHY I BELIEVE THAT I WAS TARGETED. NOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME, TUCKER, WAS THIS RACISM? NOW YOU KNOW ME FOR A LONG TIME. I DON'T PLAY THAT. WHAT I SAY IS IT'S NOT RACISM. IT'S SAFISM. IT'S LARRY. BECAUSE THEY KNOW I'M THE GUY THEY CAN TAKE THIS GUY DOWN. I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR SOME 30 YEARS. I'M ON EVERY MAJOR IN CALIFORNIA. I HAVE HIGHER NAME RECOGNITION THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE OTHER THAN CAITLYN JENNER. PEOPLE KNOW ME. I'M FROM THE HOOD. I'M FROM THE INNER CITY. I CAN TALK FIRSTHAND ABOUT THE DECLINING QUALITY OF SCHOOLS. I CAN TALK FIRSTHAND ABOUT WHY WE HAVE CRIME, WHILE WE HAVE RISING HOMELESSNESS. WHILE THE COST OF LIVING HAS GOTTEN SO OUTRAGEOUS. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR STATE'S HISTORY, PEOPLE ARE LEAVING CALIFORNIA AND GOING TO PLACES LIKE TEXAS AND TENNESSEE AND FLORIDA. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS. IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 17 YEARS, TUCKER. AND FOR 17 YEARS, CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE THE WORST STATE OF ALL 50 STATES. AND I CAN TURN THAT AROUND. AND THEY ARE SCARED TO DEATH. >> Tucker: I MEAN, IF PEOPLE ARE MOVING FROM SAN FRANCISCO, WHICH HAS GOT TO BE THE PRETTIEST CITY WE HAVE IN THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY AND MOVING TO RENO, WHICH NO OFFENSE, IS NOT. AND IF A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT, HE REALLY TELLS YOU THAT IT'S LIKE SO MISMANAGED THAT YOU ARE SEEING AN EXODUS OF NORMAL PEOPLE. CAN YOU WIN THE BATTLE TO BE ON THE BALLOT? I MEAN, THEY SAY THEY CARE ABOUT DEMOCRACY, BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP YOU OFF THE BALLOT? HOW DOES THAT WORK EVEN? >> I'M GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT. WE ARE GOING TO FILE A LAWSUIT. WE WILL TAKE IT UP TO THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT. THIS LAW WAS DESIGNED TO MAKE DONALD TRUMP TURN OVER FIVE YEARS OF TAX RETURNS IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RUN IN 2020. IT WAS LITIGATED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE LEFT WING SKIP CALIFORNIA FROM COURT. THE LAW WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. BUT THEY DID SAY IT WAS OKAY. IT'S NOT EVEN CLEAR AND APPLIES TO A RECALL ELECTION HERE THAT'S WHY I'M TELLING PEOPLE TO GO TO ELECT ELDER.COM. HE HAS UNLIMITED ABILITY TO RAISE MONEY AND SPEND MONEY. REGARDING PUBLIC EDUCATION, THERE ARE 300,000 PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS HERE IN CALIFORNIA, TUCKER. I'M TOLD BY EXPERT AFTER EXPERT, AT LEAST 5% ARE INCOMPETENT. THAT'S 15,000 TEACHERS THAT ARE IN THE HALLS OF OUR SCHOOLS MISS EDUCATING OUR KIDS. I WANT CHOICE IN SCHOOLS, AS DO URBAN PARENTS, BLACK AND BROWN. I'M GOING TO TURN THAT AROUND. AND THERE'S ONLY ABOUT 75% OF BLACK KIDS IN CALIFORNIA, TUCKER WHO CANNOT READ AT -- THE ONE WHO WAS FEATURED OF THEM WILL BE BOYS IN THE HOOD. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS. >> Tucker: YEAH, AND THEY ARE THE ONES LECTURING. TAX RETURNS TO RUN FOR OFFICE? WHY NOT A LITERALLY TEST? WHAT THE H WHY THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S EVEN REAL. AND I HOPE YOU BEAT IT, THAT YOU IT. LARRY ELDER, THANK YOU. WE WILL BE FOLLO
