Failed gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner appeared on failed morning show host Megyn Kelly’s crappy new podcast this week where she talked about the issues that are most important to California voters.
Among the topics of conversation we how much both women loathe “woke” athletes who don’t kneel for the flag, how rich Jenner is, how she won an Olympic gold medal almost half a century ago (in case anyone forgot), and how much campaigning for office totally sucks, man!
“It’s the hardest I’ve ever worked,” Jenner, whose campaign is currently over $156,000 in debt after blowing more than $910,000 on sushi dinners and limo rides, said. “Up early every day. Yesterday I was doing things at 5:30 in the morning. Going all day.”
“To be honest with you Megyn, I don’t have to do this.”
How about we take this to the next level?

At one point in the interview, Jenner alluded to comments she made earlier in her campaign when she said rich people were fleeing California left and right because homeless people were ruining everyone’s quality of life.
Though she didn’t mention homeless people explicitly, she told Kelly that she hopes she isn’t forced out of the state like so many of her uber-wealthy friends.
“I don’t want to move from California,” the 71-year-old said. “This is my home. I’ve been here for 48 years. So many of my friends have left and, honestly, I can’t blame them.”
In May, Jenner made similar remarks to Sean Hannity when she talked about her friend/private airport hanger neighbor who had become so fed up with all the poor people he was constantly seeing that that he packed up his shit (designer clothes, luxury cars, private jets, etc., etc.) and moved to Arizona.
“My friends are leaving California,” Jenner said. “My hangar, the guy right across, he was packing up his hangar and I said, ‘Where are you going?’ And he says, ‘I’m moving to Sedona, Arizona, I can’t take it anymore. I can’t walk down the streets and see the homeless’.”
Claiming that she really doesn’t “want to leave” California, Jenner told Hannity, “Either I stay and fight, or I get out of here.”
Jenner ended her interview with Kelly on a similarly optimistic note, saying that if Gavin Newsom survives next week’s recall election, it will be “the end of the state.”
“I don’t know if it can recover this,” she said.
Jenner is currently polling at 1%. Mail-in voting for the California gubernatorial recall election is already underway. Polls will open statewide on September 14.

Poor Caitlin, so close to reality TV, so far from reality.

Homelessness is a REAL problem facing California. Many homes have been burned down because of fires started in homeless encampments have gotten out of control. It’s a public health issue. To want to get homeless people off the streets is not to hate homeless people; it is to hate the homeless problem.
This one-sided hate mongering reporting is juvenile.
Kenny C
They are human beings….
Cam
Except Jenner isn’t saying “Let’s help the homeless and solve the problem” She said they should all be sent off to some place by themselves so they can attack each other.
Mack
@ CAM. I’m surprised that California hasn’t done what other states are doing to California. Some states (and Nevada was one that was caught years ago) are sending their mentally ill via bus to California with no place for them to stay. They give them some money, put them on a bus to somewhere in California and off they go. Based on California’s good weather it’s an ideal place for the homeless unfortunately. Las Vegas and Reno have their share of homeless but with Reno’s winters they either toughen up or they leave.
rand503
Hey there! I agree! I can’t stand all these homeless people all around. So what do you think we should do? Shoot them all? Scoop them all up and deposit them in the desert?
I hear a lot of complaining from people, but no suggestions on what to do. When you come up with a viable solution, I will be happy to hear your bitching.
Matthewnow
She, he, it is another sign of politicians so removed from the real problems facing their communities, they become part of the problem.
Hey, chick with dick. What do you want to do? Let them eat cake?
barryaksarben
Well YOU have it all wrong. The hate is coming from Kaitlyn not the homeless. Her attitude and so called PLAN is to round them up and put them in a field somewhere, That is NOT a serious plan that is just a hate filled knee jerk stand. Do you honestly think this mess has ANY solutions to any REAL problems do you? She says she doesnt have to do this – then she shouldnt since she has no real CONCEPT of what the job is and doesnt have the basic decency, humanity or empathy to actually help anhyone but the 1% and even then all she could do is take their orders
Mister P
Someone who is running for Governor should offer some solutions instead of just talk about how bad the problem is. The reporting is reflective of the candidate’s inability to voice anything more than hate for the homeless.
Mack
LOL and you think Caitlyn would have some ideas? Geeze it doesn’t fit in to her agenda. There isn’t time in her day for her to think.

I live in San Francisco, the new ‘doo do;’ capital of the USA and my brother lives in Los Angeles. In 1985 when homelessness exploded, it could have been dealt with effectively and solved with tough love and advice from cities who’ve dealt with the problem effectively with programs that work. But the liberals, or progressives or whatever these fiscally incompetent idiots running things here (actually running things into the ground) haven’t a clue and refuse to try things that’ve worked elsewhere and let the problem fester on and on with the attitude ‘as long as it’s not in my neighborhood, not my problem’. Well it’s their problem along with the rest of us., I frankly am sick and tired of having to dodge tent camps, watch my step and where I walk to avoid stepping in feces, urine and discarded needles and hear the politicos pandering for votes and higher taxes to ‘study’ the problem that’s festered for years like a boil or carbuncle on our butts. yada, yada yada, blah blah, blah. And by the way gavin newsom is largely responsible for this due to his open door policies. Since when is fiscal conservancy a bad thing? Time for people here to get smart and realize the leaders here ( leaders, what a joke) don’t give a rats ripe ass about anyone but themselves and you can see and smell how much the likes of nancy pelosi, ‘fart’ faced dianne feinstein, gruesome newsom, london breed and all the other liberals here ‘care’. If they cared and worked for us the residents here, many of these issues would be dealt with effectively but as these clowns are self centered, this will never happen and it’s about time people here realized these clowns do nothing for us but give lip service and the finger behind their backs. As I recall london breed promised to deal with homelessness in a fiscally prudent and humane way to solve the crisis once and for all. Well it’s been almost 3 years since this worthless clown took office and homelessness is worse than when she took office. And for the fools who keep believing these charlatans every time an election comes around pandering for votes and higher taxes to ‘study the problem’ and that they’ll do something to solve the issue, you need to get your heads out of the clouds or your asses and realize you’re being screwed big time
barryaksarben
WHINEMAKER you are so full of shit. You say the left is fisacally incompetent when California has a giant surplus that is not because of the republicans. Look at all the poorest states with the absolute worst stats on standards of living and they are all red states draining the federal government by sucking up the vast majority of welfare funds . The only presidents since FDR that have lowered the national debt were both democrats and ALL the republican presidents have increased the national debt by billions with their ridiculous tax breaks for the wealthy. Talk about being plain stupid with money you have to point to the right. And your assertion that you tread thru needles urine and feces is laughable. Ive stepped in dog shit and seen needles in the ditch in Omaha Nebraska so it isnt a state thing it is a national drug issue. The meth crisis was mostly in rural areas but I dont see you ranting about that but you only care about your hatred of the left while ignoring the numerous failures of the far right wing pseudo religious fanatics
tmbrdly
Winemaker- you said homelessness exploded in 1985. Well, from 1983 to 1999 the Governor was a Republican, so why didn’t they fix the problem? ?
Cam
Jenner said……..”“It’s the hardest I’ve ever worked,” Jenner, whose campaign is currently over $156,000 in debt after blowing more than $910,000 on sushi dinners and limo rides, said.”
Yeah, it’s the Hardest she’s ever worked. Which goes to prove that the wealthy are very often lazy and don’t do a lot. She thinks getting up at 5:30am is a big deal? Well considering coffee shops, toll booths, gas stations, etc. are all open at that time, there are TONS of people who work that hard all the time.
Jenner is just another lazy Republican mooching off the working people in America.
Cam
Oh, and P.S. How sad is Megyn Kelly, she left her failed TV show with a $40 million dollar payout but is so desperate for attention that rather than doing something productive or enjoying her money, she has a podcast?? LOL
Fahd
I will be among those not listening to the podcast. I can’t wait until next week when the election is over. Maybe Jenner will be less featured here and elsewhere, at least until her next circus act.
Max
can’t win on merits or policies, can’t win on looks either.

Andy Warhol said “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” But he didn’t predict how many stupid, truly horrible people would have a platform for much, much longer than that.

Why continue to cover that hateful man in a dress?
BoomerMyles
YES!

Yes, Caitlyn needs to leave California…. Im think Afghanistan would be a good choice.
BLAKENOW
What baffles me is why the dip shit rightwing nut Megyn Kelly actually uses her old nose job in her new promo photo and her new nose doesn’t match the photo either she’s completely delusional that we don’t see it on second thought skip that she is delusional.
barryaksarben
Kelly is pathetic. You are not a journalist you are a hack just like all reporters from FOX. You fooled that other network into giving you 40 mil while you gave them the absolutely the worst talk show ever on tv. GO AWAY until you attend a real school
sfhairy
Caitlyn, please leave the state of CA and move to TX. You’ll find your trans rights aren’t protected in that state.
carllonghorn
Her trans rights may not be protected here in Texas, but her crazy a$$ political outlook would fit right in with what we are having to deal with. Please please don’t bring your hate over here, although you would probably be a step up from our current governor…
JB
Wtf is an “airport hanger”???
Mr. Stadnick
Caitlyn I know a whole lot of people that will go out to Malibu to help you pack to move to Arizona or where ever you choose.
I will say one thing you did get that very high profile and noteworthy Australian gig out of your “run” for office.
AxelDC
Being transgendered gave Jenner no sympathy for anyone else. We are supposed to accept Bruce becoming Caitlyn, but Caitlyn has no desire to accept other people.
It’d be one thing to hold these Archie Bunker attitudes in Jenner Manor, but she wants to do so from the Governor’s mansion, ruining the lives of millions of people with her arrogant, self-centered ways.
smudge
Why does Queerty insist on covering anything Jenner has to say and for that matter, Megyn Kelly?
I would like to be inspired by Queerty and any good work they may be dong on behalf of the LBGTQ community.
laurent7465
So leave already. Take your your crappy half-century old trophy and your crazy a$$ clan with you and GO!
carllonghorn
Just please don’t send her to Texas – we have WAY more crazy over here than we can handle as it is. Not this entitled nut case, too!
davey14
With the eviction ban coming to an end, there’s about to be millions more homeless. Most people aren’t in a position to have thousands of dollars in savings to carry them through the last year or so.
James
Miss Rich Bitch with her $100,000,000 fortune complaining about homeless people.
Prowelsh56
Agrred! LEAVE ALREADY. As for the homeless issue: everyone is an expert and no one has a clue. Check also the folks that sit on advisory boards. Rare to find anyone who has experienced homelessness. As the homeless ” what do you need and value?” Not one has an answer. As someone who helped open up an emergency shelter for women in Denver – been there, done that in terms of who thinks they know best.
NOW I HOPE SHE DRAGS HER ASS OUT OF CALIFORNIA.
Vovette
This is excuse for a human speaks about homeless people as if thdy chose to be living on the streets begging for food, she has no idea how or what happened in those individual lives that brought them to the situtation they find them selves in, she is nothing but an self delusional idiot on the loose, she has no empathy, maybe one day she will end up in a situtation that may cause her to be homeless, (mind u i really doubt that, but one can hope) But this is my belief, every one should be treated with kindness, in a world where we can choose to be anything, choose to be kind.
Michael1500
Seriously, is Caitlyn Jenner not the most UNPHOTOGENIC creature on the planet? I realize that the photographers probably take one billion pictures every time she shows her face in public, and then choose the the worst ones (that’s politics), but lord isn’t there at least ONE decent picture of this poor girl? Although I have to admit she looks pretty damn bad in person in talk shows too. (It’s about those U-boat feet and wig-looking hair.) But I will definitely agree with her about one subject, and that’s how the homeless are running amuck all over everywhere and everything. I live in Austin, and they’re taking over. I’m liberal, but there’s a limit—- and they are it. And I don’t care what their personal circumstances are, I DO NOT think they should be handled with kid gloves.
Invader7
Well Michael : You’re a real d-bag LOSER..

A vile, dismissive dilettante that is TOTALLY clueless about anyone but herself. She makes me sick.
BluePlatinumRose
Nine times out of ten, it is always about MONEY. Nothing to do with the homeless. CA takes MORE than 50% in TWO taxes: IRS in WDC and state in Sacramento. REJOICE . . . there are nine states with No state income tax ! (Three states are hot with No snow or ice: FL, NV and Texas — all are moving to I-35 from Austin to Dallas. Houses in Las Vegas, Austin and Dallas start at $200K; NOT $500K.) All costal cities will be inundated or submerged to some depth by 2099. Makes total sense to move for a safer, better life and more bang for your $ buck.
(Curious, how many of these commenters have volunteered at the food pantry, soup lines or given up their clothes and blankets, eat bologny and ramen one week out of the month, expensive cells, cable, alcohol; donated their pleasure / leisure income, no matter how small, to homeless charities ?) Do NOT crybaby about the problem; rather, taking your own responsibility and ownership, tell me the SOLUTION you have accomplished to help.
nm4047
2099, better get packing now. Not one person reading this site will be around to be thinking, buy in Phoenix to get those coastal views of the future.
Invader7
WTF??? You rattled off platitudes and probably are a brain challenged republican creep !!!
Jeffrey51
Gurl you give my ass a headache…
Jenner needs to sit down and shut up…
She’s a mess…
nm4047
Why the hell does this site continue to give either of these 2 coverage. As stated, they are failures but the more time you give them the greater the likelihood they will claw their collective ways into changing that status. grrrrr
trojanboy
She is to politics what dogs are to lamp posts.
CNY1983
when she said “little Caitlyn has always lived inside of me” that was enough for me. No thx on either of them together or separately.
thom1031
She forgets how California refuse to help the community live comfortably on a living wage. Specially when 2008 hit them hard they still didn’t make the cost of living affordable. That’s one reason why people are homeless in that state. Not sure if most of them were shipped off there from Nevada. If so then that’s a terrible thing to do. All I got to say is we have some Californians here in our state and need to except and enjoy how our state is run. Because, thinking of making improvements here won’t work. It didn’t work there.
Invader7
These 2 are horrid cretins !!
