$100,000 in political ads and other costs from your 2018 gubernatorial run against newsome. what is the latest on this? everybody got paid from that campaign except one bad apple, this guy who decided to make a big show at a debate. you know, i m not going to pay people who do a bad job, and i m not going to do that as governor. i m going to make sure that every penny that s spent in california is spent efficiently and productively. did that work for you, though? you said he did a bad job. but he put in the work? he rendered service to the campaign and then didn t bill until after the campaign was over and billed an excessive amount. but the point is mr. newsome pays a software company $50 million for software that didn t even work. he paid blue cross/blue shield for vaccine management that was horrendous. he paid the people in the employment division untold
i m someone who is running for governor to fix this state, to get this state back to a livable level. and mr. newsome is running around trying to scare everybody, claiming that the governor candidates are all going to kill everybody and he s not addressing these very important issues and they need to be addressed, they need to be fixed. i hope people think about having a business person that has developed a successful business 40 years is going to fix this problem. i m the only cpa running, the only businessman and i m running to fix all these problems in california mr. newsome has made worse. last month you were served a subpoena on the debate right. you know, it was quite a moment. you were on the debate stage with other candidates there in this republican recall. a political advertising firm alleges that you failed to pay
question, and that is that all of these initiatives were defeated in november in california. and if the elections were not valid in november, i m sure the liberal majority in sacramento would have made sure that those initiatives passed. i don t know what happened in other states, but those elections in california were probably fine in november and i think they re going to be fine now. i think the give and take between newsome and elder is all about all these issues that really don t matter as much to the people of california. they care about water, electricity, the cost of living, the tax burden. they care about having an affordable home for their families. they care about homelessness. these are the issues that we ought to be addressing. i m a businessman. i m not a radio personality. i m not a provocateur. i m not a politician.
would also favor release because of his impressive record of rehabilitation. governor gavin newsom will have the final word. he won t say how he s leaning, but the only photograph you ll see in my office is a picture of bobby kennedy and my father just days before bobby kennedy was murdered. reporter: this is a tricky thing for newsome. he s facing a recall election out there. he has presented himself as a champion of criminal justice reform, and he has commuted some other sentences. but it s also tricky because of this. when serhan serhan committed this murder, gavin newsom was a toddler. so the sernse of history for soe people in this country is very strong around this case. and for others it truly is just history that they re trying to deal with. tom foreman, great report. thank you so much. and joining me now is the attorney for serhan serhan,
i mean just because you look like someone else doesn t mean you eat off the floor, or yell at the vacuum, or need flea medication. oh, yeah. that s the spot. only pay for what you need. liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty just five days to go now before the california recall election, and governor gavin newsom is saving nothing to chance. he is enlisting the help from the biggest names in the democratic party, including former president obama and vice president kamala harris. and joining us now is john cox. he is one of the many republican candidates that is hoping to unseat newsome. sir, thank you so much for joining us this morning. great to be with you. thanks for having me on. as you are well aware, your
