Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for AFI Hollywood legend and noted Republican Clint Eastwood has sent a “message of support” to conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, who is running to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in the California recall election, Elder reported Tuesday. Clint Eastwood just contacted me with a message of his support. A shout out to Mr. Eastwood. You made my day. #WeveGotAStateToSave #RecallGavinNewsom pic.twitter.com/quG2HxCmwS — Larry Elder (@larryelder) August 10, 2021 It was not clear whether Eastwood’s message constituted a formal endorsement.
Eastwood, who spoke at the 2012 Republican National Convention, has continued to make groundbreaking films into his nineties.

Other leading candidates include Democrat Kevin Paffrath, a real estate investor and YouTuber; former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer; former gubernatorial challenger John Cox; and former Olympian and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner.
Paffrath may be benefitingfrom party identification; Newsom will not be listed as a Democrat on the recall ballot due to an oversight by his campaign. State officials attempted to exclude Elder from the ballot on a technicality, but he challenged and won in court, further boosting his statewide profile.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
