1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing to me. You've got two governors to 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: the most high profile governors in the entire country, Cuomo 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: in New York and Gavin Newsoman California. They both looked 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: like they're on the verge of getting booted out of 5 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: their offices for a while for very very good reasons, 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: both of them, and they both have come back somewhat 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: indoor America has just moved on. I don't know, but 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: they're both rotten. They're both deserving of getting booted out 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: of office. And uh recently announced one of the fellows 10 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: going for Gavin new Selini's office is Larry Elder, the 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: stage from South Central, longtime nationally syndicated radio host and 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: newspaper columnist, author, award winning documentary filmmakers cheech.

Gentlemen? 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me. I really do 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: appreciate it. So California is going to actually have a 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: recall election. And what's the date of that now? Do 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: we know that? Yeah? September fourteen, although the fm T 18 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: ballots go out in about thirty days or so. And 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: if you guys know two point two million people signed 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: this petition, many of them or Democrats Independence who voted 21 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: for this guy two years ago and have now changed 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: their mind. They've seen the crime, They've seen the rioting homelessness, 23 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: They've seen the rising cost of living, They've seen that 24 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: the fact that Californians have a net migration out of 25 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: the state for the first time in history. While these 26 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: guys munching away at the French laundry violating the very 27 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: mandates that the medical professionals he's sitting with wrote his 28 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: own kids remaining an in person private school, shutting out 29 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: education for a whole year. Meanwhile, California public schools have 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: produced a system where seventy five percent of black kids 31 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: in this state cannot read at state levels of proficiency, 32 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: of all kids cannot and they lost a whole year 33 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: of education. It is absolutely outrageous what's going on. One 34 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: of the many things I'm gonna be champion, gentlemen, is 35 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: school's choice. The money are to follow the child is 36 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: in the other way around. Amen to that. Uh And 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: and speaking of school choice, the teachers unions are going 38 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: to come with their brick bats and hatchets at you 39 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: and anybody who dares to try to toss Gavin out 40 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: of office. What would you say to the the parents 41 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: of California school kids about the teachers unions and what 42 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: they've been doing lately. Well, you ask yourself, why is 43 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: it that if you are a public school teacher in 44 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, for example, you are twice it's likely to 45 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: have your own school aged kids in private school. Then 46 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: households that do not have a public school public school teacher, uh, 47 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: they know the system the best and they don't want 48 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: their own kids in it. In Philadelphia, public school teachers 49 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: who have school aged kids have their own chids in 50 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: private schools, as opposed to ten percent of families nationwide 51 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: and six percent of black families nationwide. That said, if 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: you had a restaurant and you held a side, is 53 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: that come on in, just don't eat the food. That 54 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: is an amazing stat right there. And I I had 55 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: my kid, uh in public school in California. I wasn't 56 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: crazy about the curriculum and that was pre critical race 57 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: theory being shoved into the schools. But then I had 58 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: to move into a private school because they weren't having 59 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: school with the covid um. I know you got some 60 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: some big thoughts on the critical race theory that they're 61 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: putting into the public schools. What you're a die? How 62 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: come we don't want racism taught in the schools because 63 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: of SEC requirements. I really can't tell you how I 64 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: feel about critical race theories. You know, the number one 65 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: problem facing the black community is not the need for reparations, 66 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: not the need for self esteem, not the need for 67 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: critical race theory. It's the absence of fathers in the home. 68 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: Seventy seventy percent of black kids into the world without 69 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: a father married to the mother in nineteen sixty five. 70 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: That number, you want to tell me America, that's more 71 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: racist now than it was in nineteen sixty five. What 72 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: we've done with the welfare war on poverty is to 73 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: incentivise women to marry the government and to incentivised men 74 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: to abandon their financial and more responsibility. And guys, forget 75 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: about elder because I'm a right wing cook. How about 76 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: Barack Obama? Brock Obama once said, in one of these 77 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: rare moments of candor, a kid raised about a father 78 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: is five times more likely to be poor and commit crime, 79 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: nine times more likely to drop out of school, twenty 80 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: times more likely to end up in jail twenty times 81 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: were like could end up in jail now, which caused 82 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: the out of wedlock birth rate and the Black community 83 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: to go from sixty nine there seventy percent. Now. It's 84 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: the welfare state that the left doesn't even want to 85 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: talk about because they have to look in the mirror 86 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: and say to myself, oh my goodness, what have I done? 87 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: And they cannot have that conversation. Interesting to have you 88 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: talked about it today? You know Bill Clinton uh tied 89 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: working to government money back in We did away with 90 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: that in this biggest package we passed a couple of 91 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: months ago, and the checks are landed in people's bank 92 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: accounts today where he gets several hundred dollars per kid 93 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: per month whether you're working or not. Right, Remember one 94 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: of Bill Clinton's sick things where he was gonna gonna 95 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: reform well forare quote as we know it, he didn't 96 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: do a damn thing until he was scared about losing 97 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: re election. Uh, and his uh Dick Morris told him, 98 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: unless you signed this bill that you twice vetoed, you're 99 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: probably not gonna be get re electives. We signed it. Remember, 100 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: nearly half of the Congressional Black Caucus was angry. Hillary 101 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: was so mad that she stopped even talking to one 102 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: of her best friends, Marry and Wright element who's ahead 103 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: of the Children's Defense Fund. But what happened, well, fair 104 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: rolls declined more than fifty A whole bunch of able 105 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: bodied people, able biden people got off the couch and 106 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: went to the job market. After for the first time, 107 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: we had time limits on welfare, and we had what 108 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: was called caps on additional children. You could no longer 109 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: have additional children and get additional money. They were called 110 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: family caps. And all of a sudden, the same people 111 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: that were watching television, watching Oprah got off their butts 112 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: and went out and got jobs. And now we're reversing 113 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: that philosophy. What's going on here. We're incentivizing people not 114 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: to work. It's one of the reasons why only a 115 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: half of all the jobs had been recovered in California, 116 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: whereas two thirds have been recovered outside of California, because 117 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has been basically paying people not to work. 118 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: There was a study done by economists at Bank of America. 119 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't think these were trumpers, and they said anybody 120 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: making around thirty two thousand dollars for less. It's better 121 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: off not working right now, at least until September when 122 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: the benefits are supposed to expire. This is what's going on. 123 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: This is why people cannot find workers, even though uh 124 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: the we now allowed the economy to open up again 125 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: and and gather newsom uh and some of these people 126 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: have never even run eliminates stand. I talked a lot 127 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: of thought about the of l a Eric Garciti. He 128 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: jacked up the minimum wage after a bunch of people 129 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: he invited him, brought their profit in law states and 130 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: told him how then their margins were. Please don't do this, 131 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: Please don't do this. He listened to all of them, 132 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: got up button this code and said, I believe you 133 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: can absorb the cost these guys working fifty eight hours 134 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: a week and gather and Eric dar City has never 135 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: even run eliminates stand telling business people I can artificially 136 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: jack up the cost of your doing business and you 137 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: can handle it. And I'm going out and going going 138 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: to have lunch. It's offensive. And I think a lot 139 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: of Native Californians have had it with the crime, with 140 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: the homelessness, with the rising cost of living, the average 141 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: price of a home in California cost a hundred fifty 142 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: percent more than a home outside of California, and the 143 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: average price of a home in California is more because 144 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: of the environmental wacky wackies that are jacking up the 145 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: price of healthing. That's why young families are leaving for 146 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: the first time in our state's history. And I think 147 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: I'm the guy to reverse all of that. And I 148 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: want people to go to elect Elder dot com. Elect 149 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: elder com. Throw something in the tip jar. Let's get 150 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: this guy out of here.

I think your great challenge, Larry is 152 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: going to be getting the attention of the lazy not 153 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: paying attention on electorate.

But um, you know, intact families, all that 158 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: all that cultural stuff. That stuff is hard to fix. 159 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: It's complicated. It's a lot easier to just cry racism. Yeah. Yeah. 160 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: Although there are specific incentives and disincentives that the government 161 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: has created, is Larry was referring to that have caused 162 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: a lot of the decay of the black family in America, 163 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: the you know, the disillusion of the black family.

Joe, Yeah, I know the 168 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: way we've always looked at we we never think about 169 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: competitors per se. He's a really interesting guy and I 170 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: agree with him a lot, and Jack agrees with him 171 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: a lot, like you show better than ours, is what 172 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: you're saying. And uh, we've always believed if we're interesting 173 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: and entertaining, will win, and if we're not, we'll lose. 174 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: It's as simple as editor. Doesn't matter what anybody else 175 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: is doing. So anyway, he's a good guy, and I hope, 176 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,119 Speaker 1: I hope he gets over. I've long enjoyed his newspaper column. 177 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: So anyway, I think the chance that the Gavin Newsom 178 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: is recalled is relatively low. I've given up on the 179 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: electorate of California, as I've made clear, had an early dinner. 180 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: People don't people don't vote on issues anymore. It's just 181 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: it's just a team sport. Man, It's just a team sport. 182 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: And uh, and you go with your team. And what 183 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: was that court ruling the other day that Gavin Newsom 184 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: is not allowed to put a D next to his name? 185 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: He didn't follow that now he's not allowed to put 186 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: a D next to his name. So, but you know, 187 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: because it's a nonpartisan special election, I think so he 188 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: just I don't know. That's a guess he doesn't. He 189 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: missed the deadline. Our executive producer Hanson says, So he 190 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: just flat out and missed the deadline so he couldn't 191 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: put a D next to his name. He has had 192 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: an early dinner. We're all human, we all fall short sometimes. 193 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: Is the electorate so stupid that they won't know he's 194 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: the Democratic choice? Uh? If on the recall thing? And 195 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: wait a minute, now you've given me hope. They might 196 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: not even recognize his name. They have no idea who 197 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: the governor is, but the Union goons do, and they'll 198 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: turn out all their people
