| Hi, Dennis. | |
| This is from the pastor. | |
| We're in a meeting regarding the recall efforts of Gavin Newsom, which is most certainly going to happen. | |
| As of today, it means we need a candidate. | |
| I know we talked about Larry Elder before, and Larry Elder did express when he was at Calvary Chapel. | |
| Chino Hills, that it could be a possibility. | |
| Do you have any way of letting Elder know that there are a lot of people in support of him running? | |
| These are not low-level influencers. | |
| These are top-level people and with means. | |
| We need to encourage Larry. | |
| My response? | |
| I will tell him. | |
| I forwarded your text. | |
| This is the response from Larry Elder to me. | |
| Dennis, I feel about that office the way Walter Cronkite felt when asked if he'd like to be a senator. | |
| He said, I'd love to serve, I'd hate to run. | |
| I have neither the temperament, the stomach, the passion, nor the will to run. | |
| And if elected, I would not have the desire to spend my last years on earth. | |
| Busting heads with those doofuses in Sacramento. | |
| Apart from that, dot, dot, dot. | |
| So I sent it to the pastor, and he writes back, thank you for the response, and I must say, I agree with him. | |
| That's after urging him to run. | |
| Shimon says I'd have a big bully pulpit if I were governor of California. | |
| I would have a big bully pulpit if I were president or vice president of the United States. | |
| But otherwise, this national radio show is a much bigger pulpit. | |
| With PragerU, this, Columns, I have a huge, thank God, bully pulpit. | |
| Because all I want to do is influence people. | |
| I don't want to have any power over them. | |
| I am touched, though. | |
| It would be, I mean, the thought of me negotiating with teachers' unions when I believe they are such destructive forces in America that they have harmed children more than any other single thing in the United States outside of direct child abuse. | |
| What am I going to say? | |
| It's great to see you guys. | |
| Great to meet with you. | |
| I can't do that, to be honest. | |
| It isn't great to meet with them. | |
| I have contempt. | |
| For teachers' unions. | |
| Utter, total contempt. | |
| If they were worthless, I would meet with them. | |
| They are harmful. | |
| Utterly, 100% harmful. | |
| The degradation of the teaching profession in my lifetime to the state of cowardice and contempt for children that most teachers today express is breathtaking. | |
| To corrupt the word teacher, the most venerated word in my religious vocabulary. | |
| Do you know that teacher and Torah are the exact same word except for the one consonant? | |
| They come from the exact same verbal root. | |
| That is how venerating, venerated teachers are. | |
| Torah? | |
| And Maura. | |
| How's that? | |
| And they've ruined... | |
| Actually, the left has ruined both. |
