California Waste, Fraud and Abuse: Larry Elder Explains the REAL Affordability Crisis | The Brief | PragerU

California already had the highest gas prices in America before the Iran war — so why is Gavin Newsom blaming foreign conflict for a homegrown crisis? Larry Elder joins Shabbos Kestenbaum to break down what’s driving California’s affordability collapse: taxes, regulations, a worsening homelessness problem, outbound migration, and a state budget heading toward an $18B shortfall. They also discuss the proposed “billionaires wealth tax,” why major companies and high-income residents keep leaving, the “homelessness industrial complex,” and how one-party rule in Sacramento shapes everything from the cost of living to public services. 👇 Join the conversation — comment below and let us know what you think. ⭐ Enjoyed this episode? Follow the show, leave a rating, and share it with someone who needs to hear this conversation! ▶️ Watch more episodes of The Brief on PragerU.com: ⁠⁠https://l.prageru.com/4uoSxNz⁠⁠ 👉 What else is PragerU unpacking?
