Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing to me. You've got two governors to
Speaker 1: the most high profile governors in the entire country, Cuomo
Speaker 1: in New York and Gavin Newsoman California. They both looked
Speaker 1: like they're on the verge of getting booted out of
Speaker 1: their offices for a while for very very good reasons,
Speaker 1: both of them, and they both have come back somewhat
Speaker 1: indoor America has just moved on. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: they're both rotten. They're both deserving of getting booted out
Speaker 1: of office. And uh recently announced one of the fellows
Speaker 1: going for Gavin new Selini's office is Larry Elder, the
Speaker 1: stage from South Central, longtime nationally syndicated radio host and
Speaker 1: newspaper columnist, author, award winning documentary filmmakers cheech. When does
Speaker 1: he sleep? Larry Elder joins us. Now, Larry, how are you, sir? Gentlemen?
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me. I really do
Speaker 1: appreciate it. So California is going to actually have a
Speaker 1: recall election. And what's the date of that now? Do
Speaker 1: we know that? Yeah? September fourteen, although the fm T
Speaker 1: ballots go out in about thirty days or so. And
Speaker 1: if you guys know two point two million people signed
Speaker 1: this petition, many of them or Democrats Independence who voted
Speaker 1: for this guy two years ago and have now changed
Speaker 1: their mind. They've seen the crime, They've seen the rioting homelessness,
Speaker 1: They've seen the rising cost of living, They've seen that
Speaker 1: the fact that Californians have a net migration out of
Speaker 1: the state for the first time in history. While these
Speaker 1: guys munching away at the French laundry violating the very
Speaker 1: mandates that the medical professionals he's sitting with wrote his
Speaker 1: own kids remaining an in person private school, shutting out
Speaker 1: education for a whole year. Meanwhile, California public schools have
Speaker 1: produced a system where seventy five percent of black kids
Speaker 1: in this state cannot read at state levels of proficiency,
Speaker 1: of all kids cannot and they lost a whole year
Speaker 1: of education. It is absolutely outrageous what's going on. One
Speaker 1: of the many things I'm gonna be champion, gentlemen, is
Speaker 1: school's choice. The money are to follow the child is
Speaker 1: in the other way around. Amen to that. Uh And
Speaker 1: and speaking of school choice, the teachers unions are going
Speaker 1: to come with their brick bats and hatchets at you
Speaker 1: and anybody who dares to try to toss Gavin out
Speaker 1: of office. What would you say to the the parents
Speaker 1: of California school kids about the teachers unions and what
Speaker 1: they've been doing lately. Well, you ask yourself, why is
Speaker 1: it that if you are a public school teacher in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, for example, you are twice it's likely to
Speaker 1: have your own school aged kids in private school. Then
Speaker 1: households that do not have a public school public school teacher, uh,
Speaker 1: they know the system the best and they don't want
Speaker 1: their own kids in it. In Philadelphia, public school teachers
Speaker 1: who have school aged kids have their own chids in
Speaker 1: private schools, as opposed to ten percent of families nationwide
Speaker 1: and six percent of black families nationwide. That said, if
Speaker 1: you had a restaurant and you held a side, is
Speaker 1: that come on in, just don't eat the food. That
Speaker 1: is an amazing stat right there. And I I had
Speaker 1: my kid, uh in public school in California. I wasn't
Speaker 1: crazy about the curriculum and that was pre critical race
Speaker 1: theory being shoved into the schools. But then I had
Speaker 1: to move into a private school because they weren't having
Speaker 1: school with the covid um. I know you got some
Speaker 1: some big thoughts on the critical race theory that they're
Speaker 1: putting into the public schools. What you're a die? How
Speaker 1: come we don't want racism taught in the schools because
Speaker 1: of SEC requirements. I really can't tell you how I
Speaker 1: feel about critical race theories. You know, the number one
Speaker 1: problem facing the black community is not the need for reparations,
Speaker 1: not the need for self esteem, not the need for
Speaker 1: critical race theory. It's the absence of fathers in the home.
Speaker 1: Seventy seventy percent of black kids into the world without
Speaker 1: a father married to the mother in nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 1: That number, you want to tell me America, that's more
Speaker 1: racist now than it was in nineteen sixty five. What
Speaker 1: we've done with the welfare war on poverty is to
Speaker 1: incentivise women to marry the government and to incentivised men
Speaker 1: to abandon their financial and more responsibility. And guys, forget
Speaker 1: about elder because I'm a right wing cook. How about
Speaker 1: Barack Obama? Brock Obama once said, in one of these
Speaker 1: rare moments of candor, a kid raised about a father
Speaker 1: is five times more likely to be poor and commit crime,
Speaker 1: nine times more likely to drop out of school, twenty
Speaker 1: times more likely to end up in jail twenty times
Speaker 1: were like could end up in jail now, which caused
Speaker 1: the out of wedlock birth rate and the Black community
Speaker 1: to go from sixty nine there seventy percent. Now. It's
Speaker 1: the welfare state that the left doesn't even want to
Speaker 1: talk about because they have to look in the mirror
Speaker 1: and say to myself, oh my goodness, what have I done?
Speaker 1: And they cannot have that conversation. Interesting to have you
Speaker 1: talked about it today? You know Bill Clinton uh tied
Speaker 1: working to government money back in We did away with
Speaker 1: that in this biggest package we passed a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago, and the checks are landed in people's bank
Speaker 1: accounts today where he gets several hundred dollars per kid
Speaker 1: per month whether you're working or not. Right, Remember one
Speaker 1: of Bill Clinton's sick things where he was gonna gonna
Speaker 1: reform well forare quote as we know it, he didn't
Speaker 1: do a damn thing until he was scared about losing
Speaker 1: re election. Uh, and his uh Dick Morris told him,
Speaker 1: unless you signed this bill that you twice vetoed, you're
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be get re electives. We signed it. Remember,
Speaker 1: nearly half of the Congressional Black Caucus was angry. Hillary
Speaker 1: was so mad that she stopped even talking to one
Speaker 1: of her best friends, Marry and Wright element who's ahead
Speaker 1: of the Children's Defense Fund. But what happened, well, fair
Speaker 1: rolls declined more than fifty A whole bunch of able
Speaker 1: bodied people, able biden people got off the couch and
Speaker 1: went to the job market. After for the first time,
Speaker 1: we had time limits on welfare, and we had what
Speaker 1: was called caps on additional children. You could no longer
Speaker 1: have additional children and get additional money. They were called
Speaker 1: family caps. And all of a sudden, the same people
Speaker 1: that were watching television, watching Oprah got off their butts
Speaker 1: and went out and got jobs. And now we're reversing
Speaker 1: that philosophy. What's going on here. We're incentivizing people not
Speaker 1: to work. It's one of the reasons why only a
Speaker 1: half of all the jobs had been recovered in California,
Speaker 1: whereas two thirds have been recovered outside of California, because
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has been basically paying people not to work.
Speaker 1: There was a study done by economists at Bank of America.
Speaker 1: I don't think these were trumpers, and they said anybody
Speaker 1: making around thirty two thousand dollars for less. It's better
Speaker 1: off not working right now, at least until September when
Speaker 1: the benefits are supposed to expire. This is what's going on.
Speaker 1: This is why people cannot find workers, even though uh
Speaker 1: the we now allowed the economy to open up again
Speaker 1: and and gather newsom uh and some of these people
Speaker 1: have never even run eliminates stand. I talked a lot
Speaker 1: of thought about the of l a Eric Garciti. He
Speaker 1: jacked up the minimum wage after a bunch of people
Speaker 1: he invited him, brought their profit in law states and
Speaker 1: told him how then their margins were. Please don't do this,
Speaker 1: Please don't do this. He listened to all of them,
Speaker 1: got up button this code and said, I believe you
Speaker 1: can absorb the cost these guys working fifty eight hours
Speaker 1: a week and gather and Eric dar City has never
Speaker 1: even run eliminates stand telling business people I can artificially
Speaker 1: jack up the cost of your doing business and you
Speaker 1: can handle it. And I'm going out and going going
Speaker 1: to have lunch. It's offensive. And I think a lot
Speaker 1: of Native Californians have had it with the crime, with
Speaker 1: the homelessness, with the rising cost of living, the average
Speaker 1: price of a home in California cost a hundred fifty
Speaker 1: percent more than a home outside of California, and the
Speaker 1: average price of a home in California is more because
Speaker 1: of the environmental wacky wackies that are jacking up the
Speaker 1: price of healthing. That's why young families are leaving for
Speaker 1: the first time in our state's history. And I think
Speaker 1: I'm the guy to reverse all of that. And I
Speaker 1: want people to go to elect Elder dot com. Elect
Speaker 1: elder com. Throw something in the tip jar. Let's get
Speaker 1: this guy out of here. Larry Elder running for the
Speaker 1: governorship of California. I think your great challenge, Larry is
Speaker 1: going to be getting the attention of the lazy not
Speaker 1: paying attention on electorate. But we wish you well. Good
Speaker 1: to talk to you, Larry Elder. Thanks man, Thanks and
Speaker 1: thank you. Some of those statistics, which you know, if
Speaker 1: you listen to this show and others like us, you've
Speaker 1: heard before. But um, you know, intact families, all that
Speaker 1: all that cultural stuff. That stuff is hard to fix.
Speaker 1: It's complicated. It's a lot easier to just cry racism. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Although there are specific incentives and disincentives that the government
Speaker 1: has created, is Larry was referring to that have caused
Speaker 1: a lot of the decay of the black family in America,
Speaker 1: the you know, the disillusion of the black family. One
Speaker 1: quick behind the curtain's note, Um, there are some concern
Speaker 1: in some quarters about having Larry on because he's are
Speaker 1: quote unquote competitor in a handful. He's a radio talk
Speaker 1: show host on other stations. Joe, Yeah, I know the
Speaker 1: way we've always looked at we we never think about
Speaker 1: competitors per se. He's a really interesting guy and I
Speaker 1: agree with him a lot, and Jack agrees with him
Speaker 1: a lot, like you show better than ours, is what
Speaker 1: you're saying. And uh, we've always believed if we're interesting
Speaker 1: and entertaining, will win, and if we're not, we'll lose.
Speaker 1: It's as simple as editor. Doesn't matter what anybody else
Speaker 1: is doing. So anyway, he's a good guy, and I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope he gets over. I've long enjoyed his newspaper column.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I think the chance that the Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: is recalled is relatively low. I've given up on the
Speaker 1: electorate of California, as I've made clear, had an early dinner.
Speaker 1: People don't people don't vote on issues anymore. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just a team sport. Man, It's just a team sport.
Speaker 1: And uh, and you go with your team. And what
Speaker 1: was that court ruling the other day that Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: is not allowed to put a D next to his name?
Speaker 1: He didn't follow that now he's not allowed to put
Speaker 1: a D next to his name. So, but you know,
Speaker 1: because it's a nonpartisan special election, I think so he
Speaker 1: just I don't know. That's a guess he doesn't. He
Speaker 1: missed the deadline. Our executive producer Hanson says, So he
Speaker 1: just flat out and missed the deadline so he couldn't
Speaker 1: put a D next to his name. He has had
Speaker 1: an early dinner. We're all human, we all fall short sometimes.
Speaker 1: Is the electorate so stupid that they won't know he's
Speaker 1: the Democratic choice? Uh? If on the recall thing? And
Speaker 1: wait a minute, now you've given me hope. They might
Speaker 1: not even recognize his name. They have no idea who
Speaker 1: the governor is, but the Union goons do, and they'll
Speaker 1: turn out all their people
