Larry Elder Threatens California With Lawsuit For Recall List

Nationally syndicated radio host Larry Elder threatened to sue California over the state’s decision to leave him off the list of candidates running in the recall election targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The controversy reportedly centers on Elder’s tax returns which he claims to have submitted.

“We’re in court in less than an hour over this B.S. Before we submitted the over 200 pages of 5 yrs of tax returns, my accountant made sure we complied with the law, as did two election law lawyers,” Elder tweeted on Monday.

Elder, 69, was forced to take a leave of absence from his radio show when he announced his intentions to run in the recall election. His syndicator, Salem Radio Network, announced Carl Jackson would take his place during the process.

“This new law was passed by the supermajority Democrat legislature to force Trump to turn over his tax returns to get on the 2020 ballot,” Elder asserted on Twitter. “California Supreme Court struck it down unanimously for presidential, but let it stand for gubernatorial elections.”

If Newsom is recalled, then whoever on the list of potential replacements gets the most votes is the new governor of the nation’s most populous state.

“The state is practically ungovernable with Democrats enjoying supermajorities in the Senate and the Assembly, plus a left-wing clueless governor totally beholden to the teachers union that opposes choice in school,” Elder said.

Buck Sexton: Jamaal Bowman Pulling Fire Alarm Is When It’s Fun to Have Radio Show

“‘Wow, this is where it’s fun to be on the radio’, Clay. This is when you have something to discuss.”

Last week, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) allegedly pulled a fire alarm at the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to derail a vote about funding the government. Buck Sexton joked that topics like this make radio fun.

To begin The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show Monday, Sexton joked that because he was moving last week, he wasn’t certain the story was actually true.

“The most interesting thing that I saw the moment when I was thinking, ‘Wow, this is where it’s fun to be on the radio’, Clay. This is when you have something to discuss. The pulling of a fire alarm by Congressman Jamaal Bowman and the efforts to try to explain this away over the course of the weekend,” said Sexton.

After playing a clip of an MSNBC anchor reading a statement that Bowman claimed it was an accident, Sexton asked Travis how many times he’s accidentally pulled a fire alarm, “Because I know the answer for me is zero”, Sexton said.

“I think this is one so fun because it’s so profoundly stupid,” Travis said with a laugh. The OutKick founder then told a story that he recently set off the alarm at a New York City hotel by opening a fire escape door on the ground level.

“I can’t imagine anybody over the age of like five or six intentionally doing that. And trying to make an excuse because there is no defense in that position,” surmised Travis.

The Hurley in the Morning Charity Dinner & Silent Auction, hosted by Harry Hurley of Atlantic City’s WPG, is renowned as one of America’s most esteemed local talk radio-related charities. 

Last week, the 15th year of this event took place at the iconic Ocean Ballroom at Resorts Casino Hotel. Over 263 paid guests graced the occasion, including prominent elected officials, business leaders, luminaries from the broadcast industry, and various members of the community.

The keynote speaker for this year’s event was Brian Kilmeade, a well-known personality from Fox News Radio and Fox News Channel. Kilmeade was also kind enough to sign copies of his upcoming historical book titled Teddy and Booker T.: How Two American Icons Blazed a Path for Racial Equality. Additionally, the event’s first-ever lifetime achievement award was presented to former State Sen. Bill Gormley (R-NJ).

Since its inception, the Hurley in the Morning Charity Foundation has successfully raised more than $1.3 million to support non-profit public service organizations across New Jersey and beyond, including the Broadcasters Foundation of America. In recognition of this remarkable charity work, both houses of the legislature officially declared this past Friday as “Harry Hurley Day” in Atlantic County, New Jersey.

It’s worth highlighting that Brian Kilmeade’s participation in the event faced last-minute jeopardy due to severe flooding in New York City on that very day. Despite the challenging weather conditions, Kilmeade’s dedication to being the guest of honor and keynote speaker was extraordinary, as Harry Hurley noted.

iHeartMedia has announced Terry Foxx has been named the Director of Talk Programming for clusters in San Antonio and Austin.

Foxx will be “responsible for redefining” the news and sports talk stations in the Texas markets, which includes News Radio 1200 WOAI and Ticket 760 in San Antonio, and AM 1300 The Zone in Austin.

The San Antonio stations currently serve as the flagship for the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs and the nationally syndicated news/talk program The Joe Pags Show. In Austin, iHeartMedia serves as the flagship station of the University of Texas Longhorns athletic programs.

“I’m very excited to work with iHeartMedia and its group of stations in Austin and San Antonio, along with the great people that help make it successful. As a native Texan, I grew up listening to WOAI. I’d like to thank Jason McCollim, Chris Berry, Brian Gann, and Brad Hardin for this incredible opportunity,” said Foxx.

“In Terry Foxx, we’ve found more than an expert, we’ve embraced a true team player who values respect as deeply as we do,” iHeartMedia San Antonio and Austin Senior Vice President of Programming Jason McCollim added. “His commitment to bettering our processes is evident, but it’s his unique blend of diplomacy, empathy, and patience in every interaction that truly sets him apart. With Terry, it’s not just about work, it’s about building lasting relationships.”

Foxx joins iHeartMedia after previously serving as the Director of Programming and Audience at KUT-FM in Austin, the public media station owned by the University of Texas. Foxx has numerous years of experience in the sports radio format, leading stations in Charlotte, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh.
