pitch for governor. here is part of their conversation. >> there are a lot of people especially in the bay area who may not be familiar with you, so that was my quick pitch, who is larry elder and why are you running for governor? >> i am a native californian. my dad came here in 1945. he was a janitor and work full- time jobs as a janitor. he saved his nickels and dimes to buy a home in south-central los angeles. the good news is it is still in the family but the bad news is it is now worth $600,000 so sunday with an eighth grade dropout education could not duplicate his path from poverty to middle-class because of the price of houses in california. it has gotten so incredibly high. the reason for that is the environmental extremists that to jack up the cost of housing so that developers have to wait and wait and get sued over and over again so that finally when a home gets belted is way more expensive than it otherwise would be when the environmental rules and recognition.

>> we see that reflected in the polls, but no political experience, so how does that make you qualified to run the fifth largest economy in the world? >> do not insult me, i did run for fifth grade class president and i carried it in a landslide but really, i have common sense, i have good judgment. for crying out loud, gavin newsom has a great deal of political experience. he was the mayor of your town and eight years lieutenant governor, so he had plenty of time to think about what he would do where he to become governor and for the last two years he has been governor and we had rising crime, rising homelessness. the schools are behind among the worst in the nation. and in school learning has now been deprived of kids for a whole year .75% of black boys in california already cannot . at state levels of proficiency and those levels are not high. and he had his own kids enjoying private education. so for all those reasons, that is why i am running.
