liz: we are over two months away from california's june primary and from san franciscans, that will include deciding whether or not you recall district attorney . he is being unfairly blamed he says. joining is teddy schleifer who recently interviewed jason putin. thank you for joining us. from your conversation how concern do you think he seems to be about the recall? >> you never know when talking with a politician whether it is an artifice of confidence.

the school board recalled which is the closest recall san francisco has had. did not turn out well. i don't think anyone expected the 3-1 margin. you don't see that on any issue ever these days. he is arguing this is different that it will be a different electorate. he does the recall but would not oppose his recall. i would argue he is not concerned enough. liz: interesting. what is his strategy right now? in your story, you say he has been reaching out to people in the tech community. what is that about?

>> chesa has been, in his an unfair target of tech. they are some of san francisco's biggest donors and he has targeted the tech community almost in turn. as people in silicon valley started using chesa as an epithet. he has rounded up wealthy billionaires trying to buy the election and framed the recall as semi-illegitimate as a quest of rich guys and girls to go after him. but in recent weeks, i have been told reliably, chesa has tried not to bury the hatchet but make amends with people who some of them hate his guts. quiet phone calls and the outreach that underlines lots of politics. liz: does he have support in the

tech community and does he need it? does he need the money? >> chesa has been outspent 2-1. the opponents have had to spend $1 million just to qualify. this is a race i think both sides expect would hit $10 million total which is pretty extraordinary for county law enforcement rates. i would argue he does need the money. this is going to become a flashpoint and you and i are in san francisco but we saw what happened with the school board. it was made into a huge thing. liz: right. >> this will be the same. liz: you mentioned he has said it is politically manufactured, driven by elites as opposed to real san francisco voters. i know you pressed him on that in your interview. what did he say and do you think there is truth to his argument? >> he said in our interview earlier this week that this was

a manufactured recall. there was a few wealthy people -- he made the and interesting argument. there is so much wealth inequality and that makes it easy to recall people where one or two people who hate you can make a recall happen. that does make sense to me. it is not that hard for people to qualify and that is why in san francisco and california there is conversation about recall reform. what i think did not scan to me is the notion that every public policy debate has elites behind it. i don't think everything is perfectly democratic. a system where the majority always has it say. recall rules in california are permissive and there are few people -- or could be very few people who feel about chesa and

that is why reform is on the table. liz: you think he is in trouble? >> i do. the public polling has been released and is not friendly. june is a long way to go and part of the idea for chesa is to find a few benefactors who can drop a few million into the race and maybe change the fortune or course of history. liz: will see if the calls made a difference. thank you for joining us from puck news. >> you bet. liz: the recall election is tuesday, june 7. we will be right back. before treating your chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more, you're not the only one with questions about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine
