Biggest fail up in the history of american politics. I mean, everything he's touched, he's destroyed. San Francisco's a mess. He left it. He didn't show up when he was lieutenant governor. His one job, one of his jobs, it's not really a big one, was to just be a regent on the University of California and show up to the meetings. Well, the UC doesn't even take standardized tests for admission anymore. If you go there, it's an indoctrination, it's not an education. And they're no longer striving to be a world class center of excellence for research and empirical studies. (03:47–03:58)

CLAIM
