Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Bucks Xton Show Podcast.

Welcome to our three of the Clay Travis and Bucks Xton Show. Thanks so much for being here with us.

To recall or not to recall, that is the question that faces California voters in this recall election.

And we have both the overall recall story to get into with you, but also an ugly incident that happened yesterday with Larry Elder, friend of the show, great guy, very widely liked and respected in conservative media circles.

And he's doing, he's doing well. He's doing well in this recall effort. In fact, right now, he would be the next if Gavin Newsom were recalled.

He'd be the next governor of California. Before we talk about the ugly incident, which Clay and I want to break down for you in a moment, let's just put into the context. What's happening right now in California?

It's a state that Democrat policies over the last 20 years or so has just driven into the ground.

You have a lot of people who are leaving, who are moving, a lot of the Texans listening right now are thinking, yeah, don't California are Texas, right?

Because they know a lot of people have left the Golden State for other places. They're moving to Nevada. They're moving to Idaho to Texas.

So I'm moving to Florida, other places around the country, because the taxes are super high that government is dysfunctional. The streets are filthy. The homeless problem is out of control. The crime is rising.

And people are just living in this lunatic lifestyle, liberalism, delusion. And we know that right now you're thinking, oh, it's a blue state, but you have to remember, there are millions of registered Republicans in the state of California too.

One of the largest audiences we have here on this show is in life for one single market is is our affiliate K E I B in Los Angeles. We have other very wonderful affiliates in California as well.

But the point here being there are a lot of folks who are suffering who aren't responsible for trying to fight against these policies at the state level.

So what's the likelihood that Gavin Newsom gets recalled the most recent polling shows I was just checking in the last hour that he's got a pretty good.

If you believe the polls now, a lot of these polling companies are going to be favorable to him for a lot of reasons. If you believe the polls, he looks to have a seven eight point advantage, because here's how the recall works, just so you all know, if he gets less than 50% support, whoever gets the most votes from the recall becomes the next governor.

So if Newsom fails to get essentially a vote of confidence of 51% or more over 50% then whoever has the most votes of the candidates on the slate becomes the next governor.

Larry Alders support right now is something like maybe 25% something along those lines of those who are likely likely voters in the state of California.

Clay, we're going to talk about the assault on Larry in a second, but just first to me, one of the problems here is that California, they recalled Gray Davis and replaced him with Schwarzenegger and Schwarzenegger ran into the buzz saw of state employee unions and the teachers unions and was not able to do and also is kind of a lib to begin with.

The problem isn't actually Gavin Newsom in California. The problem is the Democrat party's one party control of California and I think that that's unfortunately not going to change no matter what this recall effort shows.

I think that's the challenge and it's interesting where I live here in Nashville, Buck, we are surrounded by people who have fled California.

I mean massive numbers of people have just relocated and I know there's a lot of you out there listening who are in I thought this I don't know if you saw this book where people are moving in 2021 so far.

We ran through a little bit of this list I think on Monday I was I was kind of running through but it's such a fascinating list because obviously nowhere in California are people moving but listen to some of these cities or land of Florida.
