Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. No victocrats allowed because we've got
Speaker 1: a country to say, so let's get.

Speaker 3: I M.
Speaker 1: Larry Elder. We are Salem News Channel. The Iran wars
Speaker 1: now at day twenty one, So who's winning. The partial
Speaker 1: government shut down continues, even as lines and way times
Speaker 1: at airports to get longer and longer. Even Obama's DHS
Speaker 1: secretary says it is urgent to fund DHS given the
Speaker 1: recent terror attacks here in America. More and more exposure
Speaker 1: of California fraud against taxpayers. Director of National Intelligence Tolcy
Speaker 1: Gabbert testifies about worldwide terror threats against our country. Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders accuses Israel of genocide. The governor of New York
Speaker 1: is asking rich New Yorkers, in the name of patriotism,
Speaker 1: not to leave the state. Republican leader Thune still refuses
Speaker 1: to kill the filibuster, despite pressure from Trump and despite
Speaker 1: the fact that Texas Senator John Cornyon has reversed his
Speaker 1: previous opposition to ending the filibuster. All of this and more,
Speaker 1: the number is triple eight nine seven one seven two
Speaker 1: four to three triple eight nine seven to one. Sage descent,
Speaker 1: of course is welcome. Having heard from our friend Mark
Speaker 1: for a while, I hope he's okay. According to the
Speaker 1: Iran Islamic Revolutionary Guard, they have struck an American Fighter jet.
Speaker 1: This will be the first time a jet has been
Speaker 1: struck by enemy fire. The IRGC claims to strike quote
Speaker 1: severely damaged in F thirty five, which was reportedly flying
Speaker 1: a combat mission over Iran. The Sentcom commander says that
Speaker 1: the plane landed safely and the pilot is in stable condition,
Speaker 1: but Symcom has yet to confirm whether the air was
Speaker 1: struck by Iranian fire. There is a guy named John Spencer.
Speaker 1: He is a VET author, national security, military expert, chair
Speaker 1: of the Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute
Speaker 1: at West Point, and a bunch of other accolades. Does
Speaker 1: not appear to be a partisan. I checked his registration.
Speaker 1: He's not registered as a Democrat. I suspect he's an independent,
Speaker 1: but not sure. But he did an assessment yesterday of
Speaker 1: the state of the war, and I want to read
Speaker 1: some of it to you. He says. Too many analysts
Speaker 1: claim tactical gains are being offset by strategic failure. Strategy
Speaker 1: in war is not a checklist. It's not a fixed plan.
Speaker 1: Strategy evolves. It adapts to enemy actions, battlefield realities, and
Speaker 1: emerging opportunities. Is a continuous process of aligning military action
Speaker 1: with political purpose. Military campaigns have phases. Operation Epic Fury
Speaker 1: clearly did. Initial strikes targeted command and control and air
Speaker 1: defense systems. That was followed by systematic attacks on missile
Speaker 1: and drone capabilities. These actions created the conditions to expand
Speaker 1: air operations, including the use of gravity bombs against hardened targets.
Speaker 1: These are operational phases. They matter, but they are not strategy.
Speaker 1: Strategy is the logic connecting those actions to political objectives
Speaker 1: and adapting that logic as the war unfolds. When pundits
Speaker 1: argue that the US is winning tactically but losing strategic,
Speaker 1: they are revealing a lack of understanding of what that
Speaker 1: strategy actually is. So we must ask ourselves what are
Speaker 1: the political goals for the US. The objectives have been clear.
Speaker 1: Deny Iran a nuclear weapon, destroy its missile and drone programs,
Speaker 1: neutralize its ability to threaten maritime commerce, especially in the
Speaker 1: strait of hormuse reduce its capacity to project power externally.
Speaker 1: This is not a war, he writes, of regime change.
Speaker 1: It is a war for regime behavior change. The US
Speaker 1: is not seeking to replace the Iranian system of governance.
Speaker 1: It is seeking to force that system to abandon the
Speaker 1: behaviors that threaten core u s national interests, including preventing
Speaker 1: nuclear proliferation, protecting global commerce, and insuring stability in the region.
Speaker 1: Iran's goals are equally clear through so its actions. The
Speaker 1: regime seeks to survive. It seeks to retain its nuclear potential,
Speaker 1: preserve its missile and drone arsenals, and maintain its ability
Speaker 1: to use a strait of hormouse as a tool of
Speaker 1: global economic coationion. It seeks to continue projecting power while
Speaker 1: maintaining internal control through repression. So, he says, who is
Speaker 1: achieving their goals? On Day nineteen, he wrote this yesterday,
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury. The US and Israel are winning. The
Speaker 1: scale of what has been accomplished is not abstract. It's
Speaker 1: measurable in both capacity and leadership. US air and naval
Speaker 1: strikes have damaged or destroyed more than one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty Iranian naval vessels eliminated ballistic missile and drone launch sites.
Speaker 1: American forces have flown more than six thousand, five hundred
Speaker 1: combat flights and struck over seven thousand targets across Iran,
Speaker 1: focusing heavily on military infrastructure tied to missile forces, coastal defense,
Speaker 1: and power projection. Israel's contributions have been equally significant. These
Speaker 1: rarely military reports, dropping more than ten thousand munitions in
Speaker 1: over its seven thousand, six hundred strikes against more than
Speaker 1: two thousand, two hundred regime targets conducted across roughly five
Speaker 1: thousand sorties, which are flights. These numbers reflects sustained, large
Speaker 1: scale combat operation designed to dismantle the regime's military architecture.
Speaker 1: The results are clear. Iran's ballistic missile launch capability has
Speaker 1: been reduced by ninety percent, its one way attack drone
Speaker 1: capability have been reduced by ninety five percent. Its ability
Speaker 1: to impose cost has been fundamentally degraded. Iranian naval assets
Speaker 1: have been hit in the opening phase alone, Approximately forty
Speaker 1: senior Iranian leaders were killed in coordinated attacks, among the
Speaker 1: most senior figures across Iran's political military and internal security
Speaker 1: eliminated so far include but not limited to, the Supreme
Speaker 1: Allied leader Ali Larijani, the de facto national leader during
Speaker 1: the conflict, and the former head of the Supreme National
Speaker 1: Security Council. The Minister of Intelligence, senior national security and
Speaker 1: nuclear policy strategist has been eliminated. Chief of Staff of
Speaker 1: the Armed Forces eliminated, Defense Minister eliminated, Commander of the
Speaker 1: IRGC Ground Forces, eliminated, Commander of the besiege Military Force eliminated.
Speaker 1: Beyond these, several brigadier generals, intel chiefs, nuclear program leaders,
Speaker 1: operational planners have been eliminated. This is the systematic removal
Speaker 1: of entire echelons of leadership across political, military, intelligence, and
Speaker 1: internal repression structures. It is not accurate to assume replacements
Speaker 1: will simply step up, think and act perform exactly like
Speaker 1: those who are removed. What's happening in Iran is without
Speaker 1: modern precedent. Entire layers, layers of leadership, networks, institutional knowledge,
Speaker 1: personal authority have been eliminated simultaneously. This is not the
Speaker 1: loss of a single leader. It is the destruction of
Speaker 1: interconnected systems of control, decision making, and coercion. Leadership and
Speaker 1: authoritarian regimes is not interchangeable. It is built on relationships, trust, networks,
Speaker 1: ideological alignment, and personal loyalty over decades. When those those
Speaker 1: are removed in waves, what follows is not continuity. It
Speaker 1: is disruption, fragmentation, competition, and uncertainty. We are in uncharted territory.
Speaker 1: The effects go beyond command and control. They strike at
Speaker 1: the regime cohesion, morale and will. They will alter how
Speaker 1: decisions are made, how risk is calculated, and how the
Speaker 1: regime perceives its own survival. Israeli operations have targeted not
Speaker 1: only external military capabilities, but also the internal mechanisms of
Speaker 1: regime control. The siege, leadership checkpoints, internal security knows, cyber
Speaker 1: control centers, and the regime's repression infrastructure have been systematically dismantled.
Speaker 1: These are the tools the regime users to control its population.
Speaker 1: By targeting them, Israel is shaping the internal conditions that
Speaker 1: could make regime change possible, even if that is not
Speaker 1: the declared objective of the United States. The US pursuing
Speaker 1: behavioral changes, Israel is creating the conditions for that, and
Speaker 1: possibly for something more. None of this suggests. He says,
Speaker 1: the war is over strategy is dynamic, ARAM retains agency
Speaker 1: and can adapt. But so far, so good. Triple eight

Speaker 1: how artificial intelligence is shaping the way your student learns.
Speaker 1: Artificial intelligence is changing education faster than most schools are
Speaker 1: willing to admit, and many families are rightly concerned. At
Speaker 1: Patrick Henry College, the goal isn't to outsource thinking to machines.
Speaker 1: It's to train students to think for themselves. PHC emphasizes
Speaker 1: a Christian liberal arts education that develops reasoning, writing, speaking,
Speaker 1: and discernment skills no algorithm can replace. Students learn to
Speaker 1: engage technology wisely, understanding its capabilities but also its danger
Speaker 1: and limitations, rather than becoming dependent on it. In a
Speaker 1: world increasingly shaped by AI, Patrick Henry College prepares students
Speaker 1: to lead with wisdom, conviction, and moral clarity. If you

Speaker 1: Larry Elder. We are at Salem News Channel. Got another
Speaker 1: letter from Lisa. Lisa is the young lady who was
Speaker 1: able to make a contribution despite the fact that she
Speaker 1: is now a widow for one year. And she says, Larry,
Speaker 1: stop making me laugh. I love your facial expressions. Was
Speaker 1: able to make a contribution to our campaign to rush fresh,
Speaker 1: clean water to the pores of the poor in our
Speaker 1: own hemisphere. Lisa, keep your letters coming. I really do
Speaker 1: appreciate it now. I told you that a few days ago,
Speaker 1: I was dead last among the other Salem hosts. I
Speaker 1: think there are five of us who are involved in
Speaker 1: this campaign, and I was dead last. I'm no longer
Speaker 1: bringing up the rear. In fact, now i'm second, but
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty big distant behind number one in terms
Speaker 1: of dollars. Since someone has asked me, I'm behind the
Speaker 1: top person by ten thousand dollars. I won't mention that
Speaker 1: person's name, but his initials are Mike Gallagher. Oops, and
Speaker 1: you don't want me to have to endure Mike Gallagher
Speaker 1: bragging about how much better he did the next time
Speaker 1: I see him. It is agonizing. So if you don't
Speaker 1: want me to endure that kind of agony, let's just
Speaker 1: close the gap today. We're going to be here for
Speaker 1: the next three hours, so we have three hours of
Speaker 1: the hundreds of thousands of people who are listening to

Speaker 1: In the Nation of Columbia, the need for safe clean
Speaker 1: water has reached critical levels. Instead of children getting sick
Speaker 1: from bad quality water, your donation to making it possible

Speaker 1: I have been asked, when will a former president step
Speaker 1: forward and publicly say I support the Iran war. Well,
Speaker 1: George W. Bush has not gone on TV or radio
Speaker 1: to my knowledge and said anything, but he has issued
Speaker 1: statements via the George W. Bush Center in support of
Speaker 1: the war. Here's what the Center said. This is on
Speaker 1: March six. Our thoughts, prayers, and tremendous gratitude are with
Speaker 1: the brave men and women of the U. S. Armed
Speaker 1: Forces who are facing continued Iranian assaults as they seek
Speaker 1: through the ongoing operation to advance American national security. We
Speaker 1: also think US diplomats who working tirelessly to help evacuate
Speaker 1: and support American citizens in the region while they themselves
Speaker 1: are in harm's way. For forty seven years, the extremists
Speaker 1: theocratic regime in Iran has meant serious harm to the
Speaker 1: United States and translated the chant death to America into action,
Speaker 1: from the seizure of the US embassy compound on November fourth,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, to the many terrorist attacks against US
Speaker 1: and Allied targets. No one should share shed any tears
Speaker 1: that Supreme Leader Ayatola Ali Hamani no longer rules the country.
Speaker 1: It is in the U. S. Interests to support efforts
Speaker 1: distance though they may be seen, distant, though they may
Speaker 1: seem now to trans position, I ran away from its
Speaker 1: brutal extremists authoritarian current state and toward a more democratic
Speaker 1: form of government. People around the world, if given the opportunity,
Speaker 1: prefer to live in freedom, and the Iranians are no exception.
Speaker 1: Such transformation would reduce Iran as a threat to the
Speaker 1: United States and the allies in the region and around
Speaker 1: the world. The statement continues, but there was full throat
Speaker 1: of support for what Trump is doing, even as George W.
Speaker 1: Bush publicly has not said anything, and from what I
Speaker 1: can tell, Donald Trump's name is not in this statement,
Speaker 1: but that will answer the question about whether at least
Speaker 1: one former president is supporting what the president is doing,
Speaker 1: and that former president is George W.
Speaker 2: Bush.
Speaker 1: Now, according to Bernie Sanders, who of course couldn't be wrong,
Speaker 1: the Trump people are panicking. There's massive discontent his words
Speaker 1: against the Iranian war Number twenty seven.
Speaker 6: Look, this is Chris.
Speaker 7: On top of a one trillion dollar appropriation, they want
Speaker 7: another two hundred billion.
Speaker 1: You got people all over.
Speaker 7: This country twenty percent of households spending fifty percent of
Speaker 7: their income on housing. People can't afford healthcare, people can't
Speaker 7: afford childcare, and this guy, in addition to giving tax
Speaker 7: breaks the billionaires now wants to spend another two hundred
Speaker 7: billion dollars on a war that should never have been fought.
Speaker 7: So I think, you know, clearly, I think the Trump
Speaker 7: people are in a bit of paddic.
Speaker 1: They're losing ground.
Speaker 7: Gas prices are soaring, there is massive discontent against this war.
Speaker 7: It's got to end, and we've got to make sure
Speaker 7: that Trump is neoted. In twenty twenty six, the Democrats
Speaker 7: were full throatedly behind giving money to Ukraine. How much
Speaker 7: would we get to recrane? Was it one hundred and
Speaker 7: seventy five billion so far? The New York Posts.
Speaker 1: Oney hand reminded the Democrats of this fake outrage over
Speaker 1: the cost of the Iranian war number twenty six.
Speaker 8: It's interesting that now Democrats are outraged about spending money
Speaker 8: on war. We spent one hundred and seventy five billion
Speaker 8: on Ukraine, where we weren't even in Nancy Pelosi rallied
Speaker 8: for it, said that it was a victory for democracy.
Speaker 8: But everyone that was to spend that again, that was
Speaker 8: why not in Iran?
Speaker 7: A war that will not support in one year.
Speaker 1: Oh so not in one year in a war that
Speaker 1: were not even involved in. But that wasn't a problem.
Speaker 1: Now this is a problem. Eliminating the nuclear threat, eliminating
Speaker 1: a regime, the chance death to America, death to Israel.
Speaker 1: That's a problem. Bretty Sanders also said that there's massive,
Speaker 1: massive discontent against the Iran war. Is there not? According
Speaker 1: to CNN's Harry Inton, all of this in more Triple
Speaker 1: eight nine seventy one s a g E. I M

Speaker 2: Do not leave town.
Speaker 1: Every society is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable.
Speaker 1: I'm Larry Elder. Right now, families across Latin America and
Speaker 1: in the Caribbean are living without something we take for
Speaker 1: granted every day, clean water. Mothers walk miles to find it,
Speaker 1: children to school to carry it, and too often the
Speaker 1: water they bring home spreads disease instead of sustaining life.
Speaker 1: That's not just unfortunate, it's unacceptable. Water is foundational. Without it,
Speaker 1: health declines, opportunity disappears, communities cannot thrive. But you can
Speaker 1: help solve this through food for the poor. Your gift
Speaker 1: provides safe and living water protecting children, strengthening families, and
Speaker 1: advancing lasting hope through local churches. It's practical, it's measurable.
Speaker 1: It's the right thing to do. Your gift of fifty

Speaker 1: Thank you for calling.
Speaker 9: Well, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1: Larry, my pleasure.
Speaker 9: Hey, I just got just got a question for you man.
Speaker 10: Uh, you know everybody keeps restoring to this as a war,
Speaker 10: you do and everybody else, I mean, is what a war?
Speaker 11: Isn't it?
Speaker 1: What do you think it is?
Speaker 11: Sounds like a war to me.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it sounds like one to me too.
Speaker 1: Involving something like fifty thousand troops, aircraft, planes, trains, automobiles,
Speaker 1: soldiers being shot at, We're killing a bunch of people.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a war to me.
Speaker 10: Yeah. So doesn't that require like congressional approval.
Speaker 9: For that or some kind of un to Article five?
Speaker 10: I think it is.
Speaker 1: Well, it's not a declared war. We haven't declared war
Speaker 1: since World War Two. Vietnam was not a declared war,
Speaker 1: The Korean War was not a declared war.
Speaker 10: Let me point something out. Can I point something out
Speaker 10: to you, Larry?
Speaker 1: But the war resolution that the Democrats are claiming that
Speaker 1: it's being violated has never been affirmed as legal. I
Speaker 1: don't believe it's legal. It's never been tried in court.
Speaker 1: But I don't believe it's legal. I believe that it's
Speaker 1: a violation of Article two that gives the president the
Speaker 1: power to do this.
Speaker 10: Well, Larry, I'm not a Democrat.
Speaker 1: I didn't say you were. I didn't say you were.
Speaker 1: I didn't say you were. I'm just saying the Democrats
Speaker 1: are you argue that Donald Trump is violating the war powers?
Speaker 10: Take a point to you here, Okay, So, as far
Speaker 10: as I'm concerned, I have watched this for the past
Speaker 10: fifty years.
Speaker 9: Okay.
Speaker 10: None of America's wars have ever intended to be won.
Speaker 10: They're only intended to be sustained. And the reason they're
Speaker 10: intended to be sustained is the value in the conflict
Speaker 10: is in the debt that it produces. We are going
Speaker 10: into debt, Larry, at a rate of a trillion dollars
Speaker 10: every hundred days. Now, here's a question for you.
Speaker 9: See if you can answer it.
Speaker 10: How long ago was a trillion seconds ago?
Speaker 1: Tell me.
Speaker 10: For thirty one thousand, six hundred and eighty eight years ago,
Speaker 10: that is how large that number?
Speaker 1: John? I have a question for you, Ken, I've got
Speaker 1: a question. He Repaid, have a question for you. How
Speaker 1: much did World War two cost?
Speaker 10: We're still paying interest on that.
Speaker 1: You didn't aswer my question. You didn't You didn't answer
Speaker 1: the question, John, You didn't answer the question how much
Speaker 1: did World War two cost?
Speaker 10: I don't know the exactly, and you know.
Speaker 1: You're telling And I'll tell you why you don't know, John, John,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why you don't know, because the mission
Speaker 1: was warranted irrespective of the cost. Germany had to be defeated.
Speaker 1: Imperial Japan had to be defeated. Fascist Italy had to
Speaker 1: be defeated, irrespective of the cost. That's how I feel
Speaker 1: about this. How much would it cost if Iran got
Speaker 1: a hold of a nuclear bomb and dropped it somewhere
Speaker 1: in the civilized world, let alone America. How much would
Speaker 1: that cost? So, so, as far as I'm concerned, you could,
Speaker 1: you could talk about it.
Speaker 9: I spoke to you.
Speaker 10: I spoke to you some time ago, and you made
Speaker 10: it very clear to me that Israel has nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1: It does, so it does.
Speaker 10: Okay, So it is against US law to finance a
Speaker 10: country who has secret new nuclear weapons that is not
Speaker 10: a member to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Agreement.
Speaker 1: It is against the law for US to finance. Say
Speaker 1: that again, it.
Speaker 10: Is against the federal law to finance a nation that
Speaker 10: is not a member of the Nuclear non Proliferation Agreement.
Speaker 10: They have secret nuclear weapons, they do not admit to them.
Speaker 10: As a matter of fact, John Kennedy wanted them to
Speaker 10: abandon the Demona nuclear facility on.
Speaker 9: By the way, who gave Iran nuclear technology? Who was
Speaker 9: it that did that?
Speaker 10: I'll tell you it was Eisenhauser. Administration.
Speaker 1: We get it, all right, John, John, I get it.
Speaker 1: What was it?
Speaker 10: Ran?
Speaker 1: Or Ran? Not a threat to America, not that I know. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: well then we then we just I'm sorry, We're just
Speaker 1: gonna have to respectfully disagree and leave it there. I
Speaker 1: believe that they were a threat. I believe they were
Speaker 1: an imminent threat, and I believe that we had an
Speaker 1: obligation to do something about it. And I think that
Speaker 1: something should have been done a long time ago. And
Speaker 1: as president and Trump said he's heard from at least
Speaker 1: one president who said to him, I wish I had
Speaker 1: done something about it. The idea that we can allow
Speaker 1: a regime that murders its own citizens, that uses children
Speaker 1: walking on barefoot to clear minds so that their troops
Speaker 1: and tanks can go over there, which is what Iranian
Speaker 1: Ran did in the Iraq Iran War, unacceptable. And you
Speaker 1: think you're as worried about Israel using a nuke as
Speaker 1: you are about Iran using one. Why hasn't Israel used
Speaker 1: it already? When I was in Israel nineteen seventy three,
Speaker 1: had a long conversation with a Palestinians angry at it Israel,
Speaker 1: even though he lived there and had more rights and
Speaker 1: freedom than any country in that area. Hate it is real,
Speaker 1: he said, Israel has a new I said, Ioma hasn't
Speaker 1: used it. He said, well because of national public opinion,
Speaker 1: I said evil, as you just called Israel evil, doesn't
Speaker 1: care about public opinion. Now, for years, I've talked about
Speaker 1: Relief Factor, and you've heard stories from people who finally
Speaker 1: found real relief after trying three REE Quick Start. My
Speaker 1: brother Kirk is one of them. But Relief Factor is
Speaker 1: always trying to get folks out of pain and stay
Speaker 1: out of pain. So they've added a premium black pepper

Speaker 1: key ingredients more efficiently. In simple terms, it means your
Speaker 1: body gets more benefit from what you're already taking. If
Speaker 1: you're going to take something daily, you want your body
Speaker 1: actually using it. So have you been listening to me
Speaker 1: talk about Relief Factor for a while, Maybe this is

Speaker 9: or you know it's or just someone that you feel qualified.
Speaker 9: But we need we need somebody to bring us out
Speaker 9: at the dark ages.
Speaker 1: Well, Danny, thank you very much for your kind remarks.
Speaker 1: As for running from mayor, I'd rather stick needles in
Speaker 1: my eyeballs. I'm not going to do it again. As
Speaker 1: far as the name, Prince of Peaco Union, that's where
Speaker 1: I was born. I was born Peco Union, and my
Speaker 1: father moved us to South Central, but kept the home
Speaker 1: and tore it down and he built the restaurant at
Speaker 1: the same location. As far as sage from South Central,
Speaker 1: I gave myself that name because I like the alliteration.
Speaker 1: I thought it sounded great. Now As to Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: assertion that there's panic that the massive discontent, Here's what
Speaker 1: CNN's Harry Enton said about how the MAGA base and
Speaker 1: Republicans in general feel about the Iran war. Number twenty eight.
Speaker 13: And this is one of those because just take a
Speaker 13: look here, MAGA GOP of view of Trump approve one
Speaker 13: hundred percent, one hundred percent. If you are a member
Speaker 13: of MAGA and the GOP you approve of Donald John
Speaker 13: Trump zero percent say that they disapprove.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a mathematical.
Speaker 13: Genius to know you can't go higher than one hundred percent.
Speaker 13: He is the nineteen hundred and seventy two Miami Dolphins. Now,
Speaker 13: there are some Republicans who disapprove of Donald John Trump,
Speaker 13: but they are not members of to Make America Great
Speaker 13: Again movement. The bottom line is this, if you are
Speaker 13: a member of MAGA, you approve.
Speaker 2: Of Donald Trump.
Speaker 14: It's interesting, though, because there have been a couple prominent
Speaker 14: people who have sort of come out online and they're
Speaker 14: very mad about this war with Iran because he promised
Speaker 14: no new wars. Is there anything that people might be
Speaker 14: leaving MAGA relative to twenty twenty four, Yeah.
Speaker 13: Okay, So you know I've said it before, and you
Speaker 13: know the theme of this segment is Tucker Carlson b
Speaker 13: darn And when we look at the numbers, I mean,
Speaker 13: I've heard some people say, oh, you know what, when
Speaker 13: you look at those MAGA numbers, it doesn't account for
Speaker 13: those who might have left MAGA. But take a look
Speaker 13: here Americans who identify as MAGA. In November of twenty
Speaker 13: twenty four, it was twenty eight percent of Americans. Now
Speaker 13: it's basically the same of anything. It's slightly higher at
Speaker 13: thirty percent. The bottom line is this, the magabase within
Speaker 13: the GOP is not shrinking.
Speaker 6: It's the same size.
Speaker 13: If anything, it is slightly larger than it was back
Speaker 13: in twenty twenty four, when, of course Donald Trump won
Speaker 13: a second term. So that one hundred percent that Donald
Speaker 13: Trump has approval among MAGA GOP that is not an
Speaker 13: artifact of MAGA shrinking.
Speaker 1: It's just an indication of how.
Speaker 13: Strong Donald Trump's grip is on that MAGA base.
Speaker 14: And so I guess it begs the questions what's happening
Speaker 14: with inside the GOP and if there are any splits there,
Speaker 14: because with that those kind of numbers, they're going to
Speaker 14: want to retain that right so they can retain their seats.
Speaker 13: Yes, and you know what we're talking about. You know
Speaker 13: we've mentioned Iran in the insure of this segment GOP
Speaker 13: on US military action, and I run look at this
Speaker 13: in MAGGA.
Speaker 1: It's ninety percent approval. It's ninety percent approval. Just five
Speaker 1: percent disapprove. If you disapprove of the.
Speaker 13: Job that Donald Trump is doing or excuse me, the
Speaker 13: US military action in Iran, and you're a member of
Speaker 13: the GOP, look at this, it's your non maggot, you're
Speaker 13: not MAGGA. It's thirty six percent there, fifty four percent approved.
Speaker 13: But the majority of Republicans approve of the job that
Speaker 13: the US military action is in Iran, and the majority
Speaker 13: of MAGA, which is the majority of the GOP, very
Speaker 13: much proof ninety percent, very little split in Donald Trump's base.
Speaker 13: Those who are disapprove in the GOP simply put, they
Speaker 13: hit MAGA.
Speaker 6: It's really clear. MAGA has the floor. MAGA has the
Speaker 6: floor one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: All right, Harry Anton, thank you so much, Thank.
Speaker 1: You, mister mcconnoughe did she use the word queer? I
Speaker 1: thought they outlawed that, My goodness, so Bernnie Sanders, it's
Speaker 1: opposed to funding the request that's been made by the
Speaker 1: Secretary of War for this war, but he had no
Speaker 1: problem voting for money for the Ukraine war Number twenty four.
Speaker 7: The bottom line is that to give another twenty thousand
Speaker 7: bonds to a country which committed genocide in Gaza happens
Speaker 7: to be, among many other things, forget the moral issue,
Speaker 7: happens to be in violation of American law. You don't
Speaker 7: sell arms according to American law the countries that violate
Speaker 7: international law and human rights. Clearly Israel has done that.
Speaker 7: Israel talked that Tanyao, who for forty years has wanted
Speaker 7: a war with Iran, finally got a president to go
Speaker 7: along with them, started this war. And it's not only
Speaker 7: the horror that's taking place in Iran right now.
Speaker 1: Oga List officer did he refer to Israel's committing genocide.
Speaker 1: Here is what Biden's Secretary of State, Anthony Blincoln said
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, Number twenty five.
Speaker 15: We believe the submission against Israel to the International Court
Speaker 15: of Justice distracts the world from a all of these
Speaker 15: important efforts. And moreover, the charge of genocide is bearritless.
Speaker 15: It's particularly gallin given that those who are attacking Israel
Speaker 15: Amas has Blah, the Huthis, as well as their supporter
Speaker 15: are on continue to openly call for the annihilation of
Speaker 15: Israel and the mass murder of Jews.
Speaker 1: So Biden's Secretary of State had referred to the assertion
Speaker 1: that Israel's committing genocide as meritless. Yet Bernie Sanders just
Speaker 1: now said it. Can you say anti Semitism? Now? As
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what comes next.
Speaker 1: In the Holy Land, red alert siren, Fill the air
Speaker 1: siren to give you fifteen seconds to reach the nearest
Speaker 1: bomb shelter. The situation is serious, that threat is real.
Speaker 1: In times like this, freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas.
Speaker 1: They are what we depend upon, And in times like this,
Speaker 1: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the
Speaker 1: ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid,
Speaker 1: and emergency essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure hospitals,
Speaker 1: emergency rooms, and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies.
Speaker 1: Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly, children and families
Speaker 1: depend upon their fellowship and the people of the Holy
Speaker 1: Land depend upon your prayerful support. Join Christians and Jews
Speaker 1: around the world in praying for the protection of israel,
Speaker 1: hurt people, and the brave American and Israeli troops. Support

Speaker 1: four to three. I am Larry Elder Sale and News
Speaker 1: Channel is to day one of the war against the Rain.
Speaker 1: We continue our discussion. Tulca Gabbert, the Director of National Intelligence,
Speaker 1: talked about the worldwide threats facing our country. All of
Speaker 1: this in more Triple eight ninet seventy one. Sage Mark
Speaker 1: is in Los Angeles. Marks, so nice to hear from you.
Speaker 16: Yes, Larry, why don't you tell me? How do you
Speaker 16: think the Iranian war will end? And if the regime
Speaker 16: doesn't fall, is that a victory?
Speaker 1: Well, my hope is that it ends with the regime falling.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's what will happen, but that's my hope.
Speaker 1: Worst case scenario is that there is a regime that's
Speaker 1: even worse than the one we had before. What will
Speaker 1: likely happen? I don't know, maybe it's something in the middle,
Speaker 1: Maybe that much of the leadership, or at least the
Speaker 1: third tier leadership, because the first two tiers have been destroyed,
Speaker 1: remains in power, but they alter their behavior. So I
Speaker 1: don't know how it's going to end. How do you
Speaker 1: think it's going to be in.
Speaker 16: Well, Larry, having your friends from Iran, who obviously have
Speaker 16: much more insight and have family in Iran, say, if
Speaker 16: the regime is not completely crumbled, it will be a
Speaker 16: much worse country. It will annihilate all their people. As
Speaker 16: if you already know, they're already starting to hang people,
Speaker 16: which our good president trumpson never do that.
Speaker 1: And Mark and Mark, Mark, you're you're not You're not
Speaker 1: wrong about that.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 1: It may very well be more repressive than it was before,
Speaker 1: but it certainly won't have the same capacity to threaten
Speaker 1: US and threaten its neighbors uh, and to fund the
Speaker 1: terror proxies that they had before. So as far as
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, it still means that that what we did
Speaker 1: was worth doing it.
Speaker 16: So all the people who might get killed in Iran,
Speaker 16: we don't care about that.
Speaker 11: I care. I care.
Speaker 1: I care more about a regime that been talking about
Speaker 1: to America for forty seven years, has been killing Americans
Speaker 1: and American soldiers. I care about making sure a regime
Speaker 1: like that never gets his hands on nukes, and it's
Speaker 1: nuclear and it's missile program degraded, and its ability to
Speaker 1: fund terror groups like the Huthi's and like hisbo Law
Speaker 1: and like AMAS is degraded. That's what I care about.
Speaker 1: I guess you don't. I guess. I guess your strategy
Speaker 1: is to cross your fingers, put your put your fingers
Speaker 1: in the ear, in your ear, and just hope, beyond
Speaker 1: hope that maybe these people that are chanting death to
Speaker 1: America don't really mean it. Maybe these people that we
Speaker 1: know is trying to get a nuclear bomb won't use
Speaker 1: it once they get it. That's that's your strategy. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm happy that someone like you is not President
Speaker 1: of the United States, not commander in chief.
Speaker 16: Okay, Larry, Yes, Can we use common common sense for
Speaker 16: a second.
Speaker 1: I always use common sense. I don't think you are okay, okay,
Speaker 1: if you if you think a regime like Iran it's
Speaker 1: not a threat to us, and that we shouldn't do
Speaker 1: anything about it because of the fear that they would
Speaker 1: now annihilate their own citizens in the event that we
Speaker 1: do on top of the government, if that which is,
Speaker 1: and therefore you don't want to take any kind of
Speaker 1: action somebody named Mark from Los Angeles, My opinion is
Speaker 1: lacking common sense.
Speaker 16: Okay, Larry, don't you really believe common sense? Wise if
Speaker 16: the regime does remain.
Speaker 1: That both well, you made that point. You made that
Speaker 1: point already, Mark, So I'm going to move on. Thanks
Speaker 1: for calling.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: So let's get her teed up. Triple ate nineteven one
Speaker 1: s A g E triple eate nine seven one seven
Speaker 1: two four three Larry Elder, Salem News Channel TULCA. Gabbard
Speaker 1: is the Director of National Intelligence. This week, she talked
Speaker 1: about the worldwide threats facing the country. Let's hear some
Speaker 1: of this number fifteen.
Speaker 6: Good morning.
Speaker 18: I'm here today to present the twenty twenty six Annual
Speaker 18: Threat Assessment, joined by the Directors the CIA, FBIDIA, and NSSA.
Speaker 18: Before I continue on, behalf of the intelligence community. Wanting
Speaker 18: to extend our thanks to General Hartman for his thirty
Speaker 18: seven years of service in uniform and closing out his
Speaker 18: thirty seven years with tremendous leadership of the NSA. This
Speaker 18: briefing is being provided in accordance with ODE and I
Speaker 18: statutory responsibility. I'd like to remind those who are watching
Speaker 18: what I am briefing here today conveys the Intelligence communities
Speaker 18: assessment of the threats facing the US citizens, our homeland,
Speaker 18: and our interests, not my personal views or opinions. In
Speaker 18: this assessment, we're following the structure of priorities that were
Speaker 18: laid out in the President's National Security Strategy, starting with
Speaker 18: threats to our homeland and then shifting to global risks.
Speaker 18: The defense of our homeland is of the utmost importance
Speaker 18: to the American people, and efforts by this administration have
Speaker 18: shown over the last year the result of bolstering homeland
Speaker 18: defense in the security of the American people. For example,
Speaker 18: the strict enforcement of US policies at the US Mexico
Speaker 18: border and regionally have served as a deterrent, drastically reducing
Speaker 18: illegal immigration. Based on Customs and Border Patrol data, January
Speaker 18: twenty twenty six, is monthly encounters are down eighty three
Speaker 18: point eight percent compared to January twenty twenty five. Encounters
Speaker 18: declined at seventy nine percent compared to twenty twenty four,
Speaker 18: the drivers of migration are likely to continue. Potential worsening
Speaker 18: instability in countries like Cuba and Haiti risk triggering migration surges,
Speaker 18: and smugglers who have long operated as transnational criminal organizations
Speaker 18: continue to view chaos as an opportunity for profit and
Speaker 18: will continue to look to profit from illegal immigration flows.
Speaker 18: These transnational criminal organizations continue to pose a daily and
Speaker 18: direct threat to the health and safety of millions of
Speaker 18: US citizens, primarily and directly by producing and trafficking in
Speaker 18: illegal drugs. Under President Trump's leadership, fentanyl overdose deaths have
Speaker 18: seen a thirty percent decrease from September twenty twenty four
Speaker 18: to September twenty twenty five. President Trump's aggressive efforts to
Speaker 18: more directly inactively target these transnational criminal organizations and reduce
Speaker 18: the inflow of fentanyl precursors has already had a significant impact,
Speaker 18: which is likely to continue. We've seen fentanyl potency also decrease,
Speaker 18: likely due to disruptions to the production supply chain. US
Speaker 18: efforts to work with China and India to halt the
Speaker 18: flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals to North America are demonstrating
Speaker 18: some improvement, but there is more work to be done,
Speaker 18: as sadly, there are still tens of thousands of fentanyl
Speaker 18: related deaths in America every year. Mexico based TCOs like
Speaker 18: the Sinaloa Cartel and Hallisco New Generation Cartel dominate the
Speaker 18: production and smuggling of fentanyl, heroin, meth, and cocaine into
Speaker 18: the United States. Colombia based DCOs and illegal arm groups
Speaker 18: like the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the National
Speaker 18: Liberation Army are responsible for producing and trafficking large volumes
Speaker 18: of cocaine to the US and European markets, with now
Speaker 18: some indicators of attempts to expand their market to the
Speaker 18: Asia Pacific region. Colombia remains the world's largest producer of cocaine,
Speaker 18: and Colombian criminal groups have expanded their trafficking relationships with
Speaker 18: neighboring Ecuadorian and Brazilian gangs. As you know, MS thirteen
Speaker 18: is well established and sells within the United States and
Speaker 18: uses violence to intimidate the Salvadoran diaspora, engaging in murder, extortion,
Speaker 18: retail drug trafficking, firearms offenses, and prostitution, fueling increase violence
Speaker 18: and instability. These and other TCOs continue to present a
Speaker 18: very tangible and individualized risk of violent crime to everyday
Speaker 18: Americans and can tribute to regional instability. As the President
Speaker 18: increases his focus on counter drug and countercartel pressures, they
Speaker 18: are likely to seek ways to try to adapt their operations,
Speaker 18: including shifting production locations and trafficking routes and methods. The
Speaker 18: United States continues to face a complex and evolving threat landscape,
Speaker 18: with the geographically diverse set of Islamist terrorist actors seeking
Speaker 18: to propagate their ideology globally and harm Americans. Even as
Speaker 18: al Qaida and Isis remain weaker today than they were
Speaker 18: at their respective peaks, the spread of Islamist's ideology, in
Speaker 18: some cases led by individuals and organizations associated with the
Speaker 18: Muslim Brotherhood, poses a fundamental threat to freedom and the
Speaker 18: foundational principles that underpin Western civilization. Isamus groups and individuals
Speaker 18: use this ideology for recruiting and financial support for terrorist
Speaker 18: groups and individuals around the world, and to advance their
Speaker 18: political objectives of established is an Islamist caliphate which governs
Speaker 18: based on Sharia. They're increasing examples of this in various
Speaker 18: European countries. In President Trump's designation of certain Muslim Brotherhood
Speaker 18: chapters as foreign terrorist organizations is a mechanism to secure
Speaker 18: Americans against this threat. In response to setbacks to their
Speaker 18: capabilities of conducting large scale, complex attacks, Islamist terrorist groups
Speaker 18: have shifted toward focusing on executing information operations to spread
Speaker 18: propaganda and inspire or enable individuals located in or with
Speaker 18: access to the West. Terrorism efforts, primarily in Iraq, Somalia, Yemen,
Speaker 18: and Syria in twenty twenty five were instrumental and removing
Speaker 18: key terrorist leaders and operatives, degrading the ability of al
Speaker 18: Qaida and Isis to quickly reconstitute its leadership and plan
Speaker 18: large scale attacks against the homeland and US interests abroad.
Speaker 18: Strict US border enforcement measures and increase deportations of individuals
Speaker 18: with suspected links to Islamist terraces have reduced access to
Speaker 18: the homeland and removed some potential sources of future terrorist attacks.
Speaker 18: Since January, US officials have only had a handful of
Speaker 18: encounters at our borders with individuals associated with terrorist groups.
Speaker 18: This is a positive trend. However, our interagency coordinated efforts
Speaker 18: to continue to identify, locate, and remove known or suspected
Speaker 18: terrasts who may already be in the United States continues
Speaker 18: with vigilance. In twenty twenty five, there were at least
Speaker 18: three Islamist terrorist attacks in the United States. Law enforcement
Speaker 18: disrupted at least fifteen US based Islamist terrorist plotters. Roughly
Speaker 18: half of last year's disrupted plotters had some online contact
Speaker 18: with Islamist terras inspired by Islamists, foreign terrists organizations abroad.
Speaker 18: For example, in the recent attempt to attack a synagogue
Speaker 18: in Michigan, the shooter had familial ties to a Hizbullah leader.
Speaker 18: Al Qaida and ISIS po the biggest threat to US
Speaker 18: interest overseas in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and
Speaker 18: South Asia where these groups operate. In the Middle East,
Speaker 18: AQAP and Yemen, isis K and South Asia, and ISIS
Speaker 18: in Syria are among the most likely groups conducting external plotting.
Speaker 18: ISIS in Syria is likely seeking to rebuild its ranks,
Speaker 18: expand support networks, and solicit funds by re engaging with
Speaker 18: and recruiting from the likely hundreds of ISIS detainees and
Speaker 18: thousands of ISIS linked women and children who were either
Speaker 18: released or escaped from prisons and displaced person camps. That
Speaker 18: were previously run by the Syrian Democratic Forces in Northeast Syria. Meanwhile,
Speaker 18: state actors present a risk broader in scope by seeking
Speaker 18: new capabilities in kinetic and cyber warfare. The United States
Speaker 18: secure nuclear deterrent continues to ensure safety in the homeland
Speaker 18: against strategic threats. However, the intelligence community assesses that Russia, China,
Speaker 18: North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan have been researching and developing
Speaker 18: an array of novel, advanced or traditional missile delivery systems
Speaker 18: with nuclear and conventional payloads that put our homeland within range.
Speaker 18: The icssses that threats to the homeland will expand collectively
Speaker 18: to more than sixteen thousand missiles by twenty thirty five,
Speaker 18: from the current assess figure of more than three thousand missiles.
Speaker 18: The icssses that China and Rush are developing advanced delivery
Speaker 18: systems meant to be capable of penetrating or bypassing US
Speaker 18: missile defenses. North Korea's ICBMs can already reach US soil,
Speaker 18: and the icsses that it is committed to expanding its
Speaker 18: nuclear arsenal. Pakistan's long range ballistic missile development potentially could
Speaker 18: include ICBMs with the range capable of striking the homeland.
Speaker 18: The ICSS is that Iran has previously demonstrated space launch
Speaker 18: and other technology it could use to begin to develop
Speaker 18: a militarily viable ICBM before twenty thirty five should Tehran
Speaker 18: attempt to pursue that capability. However, these assessments will clearly
Speaker 18: be updated as the full impact of Operation Epic Furies
Speaker 18: devastating strikes on Iran's missile production facilities, stockpiles, and launch
Speaker 18: capabilities is determined. These nations collectively will likely seek to
Speaker 18: understand US plans for advanced missile defense for the homeland,
Speaker 18: probably for the purpose of shaping their own missile development
Speaker 18: programs and assessing US intentions regarding deterrence. Shifting to the
Speaker 18: cyber domain, the ic assesses that China, Russia, Iran.
Speaker 1: I'm reminded of an episode of twenty four I watched
Speaker 1: where the Secretary of State had a son who was
Speaker 1: an dissident anti war guy against his own father, and
Speaker 1: he was protesting the fact that the United States had weaponry,
Speaker 1: and the Secretary of State, played by William Devane, said, oh,
Speaker 1: spare me your fifth grade. Michael Moore logic America has

Speaker 1: about doing this this weekend. If you can't do it
Speaker 1: right now, we'll talk again on Monday. There's a banner
Speaker 1: at the top of my homepage that reads to give
Speaker 1: Living Water. When you click on it, you'll see how
Speaker 1: easy it is to join this entirely voluntary life saving campaigns.
Speaker 1: Several people have complained they haven't been able to find
Speaker 1: the banner. I've made the powers that be here at
Speaker 1: Salem aware of this, so hopefully if there's an issue,
Speaker 1: it'll be addressed. But if you don't see it, you

Speaker 1: a letter from Christopher. He said Larry, a man named
Speaker 1: Dean Cayman invented a clean water purifier with the intent
Speaker 1: on partnering and distributing the device worldwide to communities that
Speaker 1: need clean water. It's called sling Shot. He initially partnered
Speaker 1: with Coca Cola to try to reach the goal. The
Speaker 1: systems were instead distributed as a component of Echo Center kiyoshes,
Speaker 1: of which only one hundred and fifty have been deployed
Speaker 1: worldwide as of twenty twenty. I watched a documentary about
Speaker 1: him and this amazing invention. More information can be found,
Speaker 1: and I have a link. Your charity might benefit greatly
Speaker 1: by contacting and partnering with Dean's foundation. Again, Chris, Christopher
Speaker 1: wrote this, Christopher, I forwarded your suggestion to Food for
Speaker 1: the Poor, and when I hear back, I will let
Speaker 1: you know. But again I'm down, but I'm not out,

Speaker 1: hundreds of t I say workers have quit. Several are
Speaker 1: sleeping in their cars. The lines for planes are longer
Speaker 1: and longer and longer. This is Obama's DHS Secretary Ja Johnson.
Speaker 1: He talks about the threast to the homeland. Again. This
Speaker 1: is a Democrat number twenty nine.
Speaker 19: And it is not surprising to me that tsos are
Speaker 19: resigning by the hundreds now, and the long lines and
Speaker 19: the possibility of airports closing. And let's not forget that
Speaker 19: we are now in a heightened thread environment because of
Speaker 19: the war against Iran. So if there was ever a
Speaker 19: time that we needed to fund the Department of Homeland Security,
Speaker 19: it's right now.
Speaker 1: Todd is in Omaha. Todd and the Larry O the show,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for calling.
Speaker 20: Hey, Sorry, Larry I might be a little off topic,
Speaker 20: but did you guys talk about Save America Act and
Speaker 20: have an identification?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've not talked about it yet today, but it's
Speaker 1: on my list.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 20: And you know, I'm a street preacher and I take people.
Speaker 20: I'll take somebody off the street, take them to a mission,
Speaker 20: and man, the guys that hit the bottom, they have
Speaker 20: no identification, no birth certificate, no state ID, no driver's license. No,
Speaker 20: they're homeless. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 21: Anybody should have ID if you want to do any
Speaker 21: kind of banking, if you've got any kind of benefits
Speaker 21: coming to you, if you're getting a paycheck somewhere. It's
Speaker 21: it's you know, this is nonsense about not having identification.
Speaker 21: It's just And for the Democrats to say that's a
Speaker 21: racial issue, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Well that's what Democrats do. They try and phrase everything
Speaker 1: and making it to a racial issue because they think
Speaker 1: it's going to be a winning argument. Never Mind, the
Speaker 1: percentage of blacks and Hispanics who support photo voter ID
Speaker 1: and citizen to to register to vote is almost the
Speaker 1: same as it is for whites. Overwhelmingly it's popular. And
Speaker 1: there are two other parts of that Save America Act.
Speaker 1: One is to ban biological men from competing events against women,
Speaker 1: and the other is to stop the gender mutilation of minors.
Speaker 1: Those are two other components in this Save America Act.
Speaker 1: They also test overwhelmingly in favor of passage, but the
Speaker 1: Democrats are not doing it. Here's what Leader Thune said
Speaker 1: about this number thirteen.
Speaker 17: Good afternoon, every one. I think, as everybody knows, we
Speaker 17: are looking forward to having an important battle on the
Speaker 17: floor of the Senate this week on the Save America Act.
Speaker 17: And obviously the message that came over from the House
Speaker 17: includes a couple of key components, one of which is
Speaker 17: that you have to prove citizenship to be able to
Speaker 17: register to vote in this country, and the second component
Speaker 17: is that you actually have to show an.
Speaker 1: ID to vote in this country.
Speaker 17: We think those are both things that are overwhelmingly popular
Speaker 17: all across this country, no matter what your political party is.
Speaker 17: And just to sort of illustrate, I think how this
Speaker 17: issue is something that a lot of people resonate with
Speaker 17: and connect to is the fact that pretty much everything
Speaker 17: you do in your daily life involves showing an ID.
Speaker 17: You know, whether it's opening a bank account, you know,
Speaker 17: getting a hotel room, picking up prescription drugs. You need
Speaker 17: a card in many cases just to get.
Speaker 1: Into a library.
Speaker 17: I mean, these are things that are just basic, fundamental
Speaker 17: aspects of our everyday life. We certainly ought to be
Speaker 17: able to apply them to something as important as voting
Speaker 17: in this country. And if you think about it, even
Speaker 17: the Democrats who are complaining loudly about this, required a
Speaker 17: photo ID to get into the Democrat National Convention. And
Speaker 17: there are a number of our colleagues, Democrat colleagues on
Speaker 17: the other side of the aisle, who require a photo
Speaker 17: ID just to attend their official events. So these are
Speaker 17: issues that are overwhelmingly popular with American people. As is
Speaker 17: the issue of ensuring that biological males cannot compete in
Speaker 17: women's sports. We think that is also a no brainer.
Speaker 17: It defies common sense not to agree with that. But
Speaker 17: that is an issue also that we intend to have
Speaker 17: a conversation about on.
Speaker 1: The more on this. Triple eight ninety seven one sah
Speaker 1: g E and your calls on Larry El, do do
Speaker 1: not leave town.
Speaker 22: Take because of you.
Speaker 1: Triple ate nine seven one s hGe Triple eight ninety
Speaker 1: seven one seven two four to three. I am Larry
Speaker 1: El do. We are still in the news channel, coming
Speaker 1: to you from the Relief Factor studio. Don't forget your
Speaker 1: Relief Factor eight hundred four relief eight hundred to number
Speaker 1: for relief. It is in Gardena, California. Edge're and the Lario. Oh,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for calling. Thanks for taking more call, Larry,
Speaker 1: my pleasure.
Speaker 23: Well, I want to talk to you, talk to you
Speaker 23: about is the filibuster I heard from one of your
Speaker 23: other shows that your competition that just it's able if
Speaker 23: we're able to get rid of the filibuster and reinstate
Speaker 23: it when we're done doing what needs to be done.
Speaker 24: Is that true?
Speaker 23: Or can you have your team look at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard the same thing. To bring it up, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard the same thing. But I've also heard John
Speaker 1: Thune say this, there's a mechanism to do that, but
Speaker 1: there you need fifty one votes to do it. And
Speaker 1: the dirty little secret is no more than ten or
Speaker 1: fifteen Republicans. Apparently I have privately expressed an interest in
Speaker 1: doing that. The fear is that once the Democrats get
Speaker 1: back in charge, and sooner or later they will, they're
Speaker 1: going to do all the nonsense they want to do
Speaker 1: which is, make Puerto Rico State, make DC Estate, pack
Speaker 1: the court with three, four or five more people so
Speaker 1: they have a majority in the Supreme Court. And John
Speaker 1: Thune says two things. One, there isn't the vote to
Speaker 1: do exactly what you're suggesting. But even if there is,
Speaker 1: he said, I don't want to. I don't want my
Speaker 1: fingerprints on this. Right now, the filibuster gives them a
Speaker 1: minority at least a chance not to be steam steamrolled.
Speaker 1: And if we use that technique, they will use that
Speaker 1: too to reverse everything we've done and then put in
Speaker 1: the stuff that they want to do.
Speaker 23: Oh so it'll it'll just start. It'll just snowball into
Speaker 23: something larger than.
Speaker 1: We that's right. Be careful what you wish for. And
Speaker 1: the the the idea right now is that at least
Speaker 1: there'll be a debate on the floor. At least Democrats
Speaker 1: will be on record as saying they believe the minority
Speaker 1: are too stupid to be able to figure out how
Speaker 1: to prove their citizenship and how to produce a photo ID.
Speaker 1: And they want to be on the side that says
Speaker 1: a biological men can compete against biological women, and they
Speaker 1: want to be on the side that says miners can
Speaker 1: undergo gender surgery, which are the major components of the
Speaker 1: Save Act. Again, I know it's not great. You would
Speaker 1: think that Democrats would be in favor of all three
Speaker 1: of those things. If they keep saying that there's no fraud,
Speaker 1: there's no evidence of major fraud. If there's no evidence
Speaker 1: of major fraud, then what do you worry about? And
Speaker 1: if you don't like the idea that Republicans are constantly
Speaker 1: saying that they believe that twenty twenty was stolen because
Speaker 1: they believe there was a lot of fraud, then this
Speaker 1: would remove that argument. So it seems to me it
Speaker 1: would be win win. Republicans can no longer claim that
Speaker 1: when you lose an election it's because of voter fraud,
Speaker 1: and you can then say that you're on the side
Speaker 1: of making sure that we have election integrity and that
Speaker 1: we don't think it's appropriate or fair to assume that
Speaker 1: minority are two stupid to figure out how to vote.
Speaker 1: You know, the real reason is that, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: they want illegal aliens to vote. They want to make
Speaker 1: it easier to cheat. They won't say that. What else
Speaker 1: is the reason you don't believe Americans can figure out
Speaker 1: how to prove their citizens. You don't believe Americans can
Speaker 1: figure out how to get photo ID. You really don't,
Speaker 1: So you must have an ulterior motive. What is the
Speaker 1: ulterior motive? You tell me. Here's what Ted Cruse said
Speaker 1: about this number fourteen.
Speaker 25: Spill is basic common sense, Sean. What the Save America
Speaker 25: Act says is just two things. Number one, you should
Speaker 25: have to demonstrate you're an American citizen to register to vote.
Speaker 25: That ought to be simple.
Speaker 11: That ought to be basic.
Speaker 25: And number two, you should have to show a photo
Speaker 25: ID to actually vote. Again, that is common sense. The
Speaker 25: overwhelming majority of Americans agree with that. Eighty one percent
Speaker 25: set of Americans agree with photo ID to vote. And
Speaker 25: by the way, it's not just Americans writ large, it's
Speaker 25: also the Democrats argue that this disenfranchises minorities. You know
Speaker 25: who disagrees with them on that minorities.
Speaker 1: And I told you there was a study that said
Speaker 1: that photo ID suppresses the vote on the part of
Speaker 1: Hispanics and blacks. There was a follow up study that
Speaker 1: examined that study. The follow up study was professors from
Speaker 1: Penn I think it was in Stanford and Yale. I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken more prestigious schools, not saying therefore their study
Speaker 1: was better, but they said the first one was completely wrong,
Speaker 1: and there's no evidence that photo ID suppresses the minority vote.
Speaker 1: And when Georgia passed their voter law, remember that's why
Speaker 1: the All Star Game was moved from Atlanta to Denver.
Speaker 1: What happened. The percentage of blacks who voted exceeded the
Speaker 1: percentage of blacks who voted before they enacted their voter
Speaker 1: ID laws. So I just think it's pretty insulting. And
Speaker 1: given the fact that blacks support it, you have to
Speaker 1: ask yourself, what is the Democrats real agenda? Now? For years,
Speaker 1: I've talked about Relief Factor, and you've heard stories and
Speaker 1: people who finally found real relief after trying the three
Speaker 1: week quick Start, one of whom is my brother Kirk,
Speaker 1: who had difficulty going up and down the stairs in
Speaker 1: the morning till he finally listened to me. But here's
Speaker 1: something new. Relief Factor is always striving to help folks
Speaker 1: get out and stay out of pain. Remarkably, relief Factors
Speaker 1: made they're already trusted formula. Even better, they've added a
Speaker 1: premium black pepper extract because it helps your body absorb
Speaker 1: the high quality key ingredients more efficiently. In simple terms,
Speaker 1: it helps your body get even more benefit from what
Speaker 1: you're already taking. That matters if you're going to take
Speaker 1: something daily, you want to make sure your body is
Speaker 1: actually using it. So if you've been listening to me
Speaker 1: talk about Relief Factor for a while, maybe this is
Speaker 1: your moment, or if you're already taking it, you're now
Speaker 1: getting an enhanced formula designed to work even smarter. Start
Speaker 1: with the three week quick Start for just nineteen dollars
Speaker 1: and ninety five cents less than a dollar day. Relief
Speaker 1: Factor dot com, Reliefactor dot com or callte eight hundred
Speaker 1: four relief eight hundred the number four relief. How will
Speaker 1: it feel to be out of pain? Relief Factor dot
Speaker 1: com eight hundred the number four Relief.

Speaker 1: I Am Larry Elders stalling the news channel. The Great
Speaker 1: Chuck Norris, movie star, martial arts, Air Force VET, longtime
Speaker 1: Republican is dead at the age of eighty six. Trump
Speaker 1: told reporters he was a quote tough, cookie, close quote
Speaker 1: and a great supporter of his. I thought he was
Speaker 1: a great guy. Close quote said Trump. You didn't want
Speaker 1: to fight him. I can tell you he was a tough,
Speaker 1: great guy. Close quote said President Trump. Norris also supported
Speaker 1: me when I ran for governor in the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one recall election. Publicly supported me and praised the effort.
Speaker 1: He will be missed. Rosie is in Woodland Hills, Rosie
Speaker 1: and the Larry Ola Show. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 6: Hi, Larry.
Speaker 26: I'm okay. I'm kind of sad today having the athletes
Speaker 26: that were hung at a rod as a former hostage.
Speaker 26: I'm just sick about it. Really, it's Rosnie, Lary.
Speaker 6: Yes, I am Rosie, Rosie.
Speaker 1: Rosie is Rosie. Well, you know this is this is
Speaker 1: our this is our this is our enemy. Rosie. I
Speaker 1: talked about this earlier during that Iraq Iranian war that
Speaker 1: lasted for for eight years. They use children. They gave
Speaker 1: him a little rings they put around their neck. They
Speaker 1: called him keys to Paradise, walk over this minefield, clear
Speaker 1: the mind for the soldiers and for the tanks, and
Speaker 1: tens and thousands of these kids were blown up. But
Speaker 1: the good news, I guess are now in paradise. Smoothing
Speaker 1: with seventy two brown eyed versions, I guess, but this
Speaker 1: is our enemy. These are the people that were up against.
Speaker 1: Imagine an enemy like that with a nuke.
Speaker 9: Awful.
Speaker 26: I asked my son when we were stationed there in
Speaker 26: seventy eight what he remembers, and he said, he remembers
Speaker 26: the bullets going off every night.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 26: And it was so awful. I had constant des threats
Speaker 26: every single day. They'd either call me or they were
Speaker 26: on the phone to kill me. So what I want
Speaker 26: to say about the war now, and I'm praying for them,
Speaker 26: I'm praying for our soldiers there too, is that the
Speaker 26: regime has got to be turned over and we have
Speaker 26: to make sure who's coming in to take power or
Speaker 26: we're going to have the same things we had going
Speaker 26: on now and for the last forty seven years. And
Speaker 26: also we need to arm the population there. This is
Speaker 26: very important. They don't have the guns. Everything was taken away.
Speaker 26: They have a secret police that comes and kills the people.
Speaker 1: Yep. They don't have a Second Amendment there for obvious reasons,
Speaker 1: and one of the rulers imposed even more draconian gun
Speaker 1: control legislation. Speaking of guns, this is a promo for
Speaker 1: the NR Institute for Legislative Actions. Listen to this number four.
Speaker 27: I'd rather look like this than be lying dead next
Speaker 27: to my family. This right here is the only reason
Speaker 27: we're alive. No one ever told my story, and we
Speaker 27: all know why.
Speaker 6: My name is Raoul.
Speaker 27: On July there this year, we were celebrating our freedom
Speaker 27: at our friend's house when the unthinkable happened. A neighbor
Speaker 27: we never met came in uninvited and started shooting at
Speaker 27: all of us right out of the blue. Before I
Speaker 27: can actually comprehend what was happening, one of our dear
Speaker 27: friends was shot and died instantly. Next thing you know,
Speaker 27: the shooter shot me right on the side of the
Speaker 27: head and through my left eye. I hit the ground
Speaker 27: on conscience. Everyone in the house was screaming bloody murder
Speaker 27: and thought I was dead, including my family, who sprinted
Speaker 27: to a nearby bedroom and tried barricading themselves. What felt
Speaker 27: like an eternity passed, and then my eyes opened, by
Speaker 27: God's grace, to the sound of the shrieking screams of
Speaker 27: my wife, two daughters, and friends who knew I carried
Speaker 27: a concealed pistol. After a short struggle against two brave friends.
Speaker 27: The shooter broke away from the fight and started to
Speaker 27: reach for his second gun. With me my family lined
Speaker 27: up as its next victims. But I put four shots
Speaker 27: in this chest and sent him straight to hell. If
Speaker 27: I didn't have my gun, everyone in the house would
Speaker 27: have died. The newsmans would have been front and center.
Speaker 27: But because I did, he never even heard about it.
Speaker 27: In fact, each year, over one million law biting Americans
Speaker 27: used firearms to protect themselves and their loved ones. But
Speaker 27: in twenty twenty one, America's five largest newspapers published just
Speaker 27: ten news stories recording defensive firearm news. In contrast, those
Speaker 27: same newspapers had a total of one thousand, seven hundred
Speaker 27: and forty three news stories containing the keywords murder, gunfire,
Speaker 27: er shot. We still have no idea why that man
Speaker 27: opened fire that day, but it has only reinforced our
Speaker 27: family support for the Second Amendment. I was in the
Speaker 27: hospital for five days, and when I finally got out,
Speaker 27: I bought my family two handguns to train with. Evil
Speaker 27: will always exist, and we are are ready to confine
Speaker 27: it with equal force. Now more than ever, this family
Speaker 27: will never be victims again. My name is ro Mendez
Speaker 27: and I am a proud lifetime member of the National
Speaker 27: Rifle Association of America.
Speaker 1: Kevin is in Louisville, Kentucky. Kevin, you're on the Larial
Speaker 1: the show. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 11: Thank you. I have a two part thing here. It
Speaker 11: seems like there's government workers that get paid after our
Speaker 11: government shut down has ended, back.
Speaker 1: Pay, right they do.
Speaker 11: So. If Congress causes some type of a shutdown, partial
Speaker 11: or full government shutdown, then go ahead and pay the
Speaker 11: people that are going to get paid anyway. But Congress,
Speaker 11: the Democrats and Republicans do not get anything during a shutdown,
Speaker 11: and they do not get back paid. They lose that
Speaker 11: money during the government shutdown.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, yeah, I would love for that to be
Speaker 1: the case. Whenever somebody has proposed that that we don't
Speaker 1: get paid during a shutdown, I let alone that we
Speaker 1: don't get back paid during a shutdown. It never gets
Speaker 1: past for obvious reasons. Again, the reason for this shutdown
Speaker 1: is one thing and one thing only, and it's ice
Speaker 1: ice Ice. Democrats, some of them have gone on the
Speaker 1: record as saying they want ICE to be abolished, defunded.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they use the word to bolish, sometimes they use
Speaker 1: the word defunded, because they want the mass deportations to end,
Speaker 1: or to at least be dramatically slowed down and diminished.
Speaker 1: Because the goal has always been to change the electorate
Speaker 1: so they can create more new Democrat voters. That's what's
Speaker 1: going on here. Democrats are pretty much given them a
Speaker 1: lot of concessions. You know, body cams ID this, that
Speaker 1: and the other, and they still don't do it. I'm
Speaker 1: Larry Yolder.
Speaker 3: Hi, I just want to say that Chuck Schumer, he's
Speaker 3: so concerned that these illegal immigrants are going to be
Speaker 3: intimidated at the voting holes because ice will be there,
Speaker 3: and you know what, there wouldn't be an issue. They
Speaker 3: wouldn't be intimidated if they weren't voting in our elections,
Speaker 3: you know, illegally voting in our elections. You know, besides
Speaker 3: the living here illegally.
Speaker 24: He's the thought.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Triple eight ninety seven one s A G E. Triple

Speaker 1: Salem News Channel. Coming up, We're going to talk to
Speaker 1: Colonel Allen West. He just met with gold Star Mother
Speaker 1: Patty Moran, the mother of Rachel Moran, and he talks
Speaker 1: about the legislation that was signed by the governor of
Speaker 1: Maryland that would make it even more difficult for the
Speaker 1: killer of Rachel Moran to been captured. He'll talk to
Speaker 1: us about that in just a few minutes. Stick around
Speaker 1: for that. Rocky is in Dallas, Texas. Rockey and the
Speaker 1: Lario to show thank you for calling.
Speaker 24: Yes, Minsur Elder to thank you. Make it real quick.
Speaker 24: I was just wanting to hear Gonzales a little earlier,
Speaker 24: and she had a New York PD lady officer on
Speaker 24: there wearing a job and pretty much preaching about how
Speaker 24: much she wanted everyone to wear one and hoping there'd
Speaker 24: be one hundred thousand wearing a job. And I just
Speaker 24: I thought you might know better than I do. New
Speaker 24: York PD not have a dress code. I remember when
Speaker 24: I was in the military there was a dress code
Speaker 24: and you couldn't just wear whatever you wanted to. So
Speaker 24: New York not have one of.
Speaker 1: Those Rocky Rocky backer. So this was a police officer
Speaker 1: wearing one.
Speaker 24: Yes, a woman, and I use the term loosely. I'm
Speaker 24: from Texas. I speak at lock after.
Speaker 1: I got it. I got it.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My suspicion is that if the NYPD prevented a
Speaker 1: Muslim female from wearing a hit job. It would probably
Speaker 1: be a violation of the First Amendment, but I really
Speaker 1: don't know. I'll look into it.
Speaker 24: Well, I appreciate that. And one quick thing, I just
Speaker 24: want to give my condolences out to Chuck Norris's family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great guy, Thanks, Thanks Rocky, Thanks Rocky, thank you
Speaker 1: very much for my call, my pleasure. Yeah, speaking of
Speaker 1: New York, the governor of New York is asking wealthy
Speaker 1: people to stick around, don't leave the state because it
Speaker 1: would be unpatriotic if he did. Number nineteen, and.
Speaker 28: Being conscious of the facts that I need people who
Speaker 28: are high net work to support the generous social programs
Speaker 28: that we want to have in our state. Right now,
Speaker 28: there are some patriotic millionaires we stepped up.
Speaker 6: Okay, cut me the checks.
Speaker 28: I mean, just if you want to be supportive, But
Speaker 28: maybe the first step should we go down to Palm
Speaker 28: Beach and see what you can bring back home, because hey.
Speaker 1: If you're patriotic and you're a wealthy person, you should
Speaker 1: stay here and be taxed. Don't go to Texas, don't
Speaker 1: go to Florida. That would be unpatriotic. Stay here, otherwise
Speaker 1: you're being unpatriotic. Are you smoke smoking something? Triple eight

Speaker 1: We're going to get into California fraud later on this hour,
Speaker 1: but first, I don't know where to start with my guest.
Speaker 1: Heavily decorated combat veteran served in combat zones including Operation
Speaker 1: Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, was stationed in Afghanistan, Bronze Star,
Speaker 1: three Meritorious Service Medals, the Valorious Unit Award, Former Congressman
Speaker 1: from Florida, former chair of the Republican Party of Texas,
Speaker 1: currently executive director of the American Constitutional Rights Union the
Speaker 1: ac r U. Please welcome to the program, Colonel Alan West.
Speaker 1: I also mentioned one of the other ones I forgot
Speaker 1: to mention this. Colonel he co star of co star
Speaker 1: of the documentary that I executive produced and Justin Malone directed,
Speaker 1: called Uncle Tom One. Colonel, thank you for taking the
Speaker 1: time I read your article, A Mother's Grief and a
Speaker 1: State's portrayal about gold Star mother Patty Morin tell us
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 29: Yeah, I was just recently at the beginning of this
Speaker 29: week up in Maryland, part of the ACRU, the American
Speaker 29: Constitution Rising, we started something called the Defender Initiative because
Speaker 29: what we see happened across the country. We have attorney generals,
Speaker 29: state legislatures, governors, and also the ACLU, the American Civil
Speaker 29: Liberties Union going after sharffes who are out there working
Speaker 29: with IKE to make sure that they keep criminal legal
Speaker 29: immigrants off the street. And we just recently had legislation
Speaker 29: pass in Maryland signed by Governor Wes Moore to preclude
Speaker 29: and prevent that cooperation under what is called the two
Speaker 29: to eighty seven g program with some of these shares
Speaker 29: up there in Maryland. And I had the opportunity to
Speaker 29: be in one of those counties with one of those
Speaker 29: shares where Rachel Moran, thirty seven years of age five,
Speaker 29: mother of five, was brutally raped and murdered by a
Speaker 29: criminal illegal immigrant in this country illegally had been released
Speaker 29: back out into the streets and then committed crimes. And
Speaker 29: I met her mother, Patty Moran, and the Sheriff's office
Speaker 29: where we were at. I think it's Herford County. She
Speaker 29: was murdered just about a mile and a half away
Speaker 29: from that sheriff's office on the trail. And to see
Speaker 29: the face of Paddy Moran, to see her pained and
Speaker 29: to see her tears. Knowing that the governor of Maryland,
Speaker 29: the state legislature of Maryland doing everything they can to
Speaker 29: undermine the safety and security of the citizens there of
Speaker 29: Maryland in the aftermath of what happened to her daughter
Speaker 29: is just unconstable there.
Speaker 1: And you write in your article, Colonel that the cooperation
Speaker 1: between the authorities and ICE is what enabled her killer
Speaker 1: to be apprehended. But they've now signed a bill that
Speaker 1: would have probably prohibited or certainly made much more difficult
Speaker 1: for this guy to have been caught and convicted.
Speaker 29: Yes, absolutely right, because he was not caught there in Maryland.
Speaker 29: He was caught in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And so by working
Speaker 29: with federal authorities and of course cross state agencies, they're
Speaker 29: able to get a tip and track this guy down
Speaker 29: and extra die him back to Maryland and he is
Speaker 29: now serving a life in prison. But miss Moran is
Speaker 29: very upset because that's where her daughter's dead. And so
Speaker 29: now the taxpayers in Maryland will take care of this
Speaker 29: brutal barbarian, this criminal for the rest of his life,
Speaker 29: which I think is quite unbelievable. But the thing is
Speaker 29: what is so astonishing about this layer And again, Minnesota, Colorado, Mexico,
Speaker 29: just about every blue state. In California as well, you
Speaker 29: have legislators, quote unquote lawmakers that are passing law is
Speaker 29: to prevent law enforcement officers from enforcment the law. Now,
Speaker 29: if that's not bizarro world, you tell me what he is.
Speaker 1: This agreement banning all agreements, this legislation that's been signed.
Speaker 1: This is a Democrat state, Democrat state lawmakers, Democrat governor.
Speaker 1: Is there any way to get it reversed?
Speaker 29: Well, I think the most important thing is that this
Speaker 29: has to go up before the Supreme Court because you're
Speaker 29: looking at the constitutional violation. This is the supremacy Clause
Speaker 29: Article six, section two of the Constitution that very clearly
Speaker 29: states that when the federal government is operate in pursuance
Speaker 29: thereof to the rule of law, to our constitution, states
Speaker 29: and lower jurisdictions they are supreme over them. So when
Speaker 29: we have these states that are making laws that undermine
Speaker 29: federal law. It is a crime. It is a federal offense,
Speaker 29: first time misdemeanor, second time and subsequent times felony. I
Speaker 29: think it's eight United States Code one three, two five
Speaker 29: unauthorized entry to the United States of America. So these
Speaker 29: are criminals. This whole thing about sanctuary cities and sanctuaries,
Speaker 29: it's unlawful. You cannot harbor someone that has committed a crime.
Speaker 29: And then on top of that, you are releasing these
Speaker 29: violent criminals that are here illegally unauthorized back into the communities.
Speaker 29: That's why ICE has to go into the communities. And
Speaker 29: then when you tell the shearers, who are duly elected
Speaker 29: constitutional officers, they are elected by the people, that they
Speaker 29: are not allowed to do their job. I mean, this
Speaker 29: is unlawful, it's unconstitutional. Is everything wrong? And I think
Speaker 29: that these charey bind together and bring forth a case
Speaker 29: that can make it all the way to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Colonel I'm in LA, which is a sanctuary city in California,
Speaker 1: sanctuary state. It boggles the mind that the lawmakers, these politicians,
Speaker 1: even if they're Democrats, would not want get rid of
Speaker 1: violent criminals off the streets. It seems to me that
Speaker 1: these violent criminals often go after the very minorities that
Speaker 1: people like that on the left claim that they care about.
Speaker 1: Why in the world do you not want ICE to
Speaker 1: get violent illegal aliens off the streets and deported. Why
Speaker 1: would you not want that?
Speaker 29: Well, I mean President Trump posed that question in his
Speaker 29: State of the Union address when he asked, if you
Speaker 29: believe that the duty of the American government is to
Speaker 29: protect its citizens rather than criminal illegal immigrants, please, And
Speaker 29: you saw who did not stand both they did decide
Speaker 29: to the State a Union address. You look at what's
Speaker 29: happening right now with the shutdown of DHS, Department of
Speaker 29: Homeland Security, ICE and the Customs of Border Patrol are
Speaker 29: funded out of twenty twenty seven. What this is doing
Speaker 29: is hurting our homeland security investigations. It's hurting our tsa
Speaker 29: at a time when we've seen a spike in terrorist
Speaker 29: attacks over these last two weeks. They don't care about
Speaker 29: the American people, And again, this is a critical issue
Speaker 29: for the midterm elections. I don't see why Republicans cannot
Speaker 29: leverage this the Save Act. Why don't you want to
Speaker 29: have voter ID shown in order to vote in the
Speaker 29: United stations America or proof of citizenship shown in order
Speaker 29: to register. They are putting legal immigrants and legal immigrants
Speaker 29: period over the legal, law abiding citizens in the United
Speaker 29: States of America and sacrificing our safety.
Speaker 1: Crump, we have just a couple of minutes left giving
Speaker 1: your giv me your take on the on the Iran war.
Speaker 1: Where is it going? How are we doing? What do
Speaker 1: you think the end game is going to be?
Speaker 29: I think the endgame without a doubt is you see
Speaker 29: the number one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism not going
Speaker 29: to be able to export that terrorism as well. They're
Speaker 29: not going to be able to hold the region hostage
Speaker 29: because of their military and ballistic missile and drawn building capacity.
Speaker 29: We saw the shaping operation that has left to us
Speaker 29: having complete air dominance and now we see decisive operations.
Speaker 29: They have no navy, they have no air force, they
Speaker 29: have no surface to air missile systems, and they are
Speaker 29: losing their surface to ship missile systems as well. So
Speaker 29: once we get the straits of horror moves open, then
Speaker 29: we can start looking to the Iranian people to step
Speaker 29: up and do what is necessary. And the Israelis are
Speaker 29: doing an incredible job hapitating the leadership of Iran.
Speaker 1: Colonel someone asked me why no former president has spoken
Speaker 1: out in favor of this war. I checked with the
Speaker 1: George W. Bush Center, and they did put out several
Speaker 1: statements backing the war effort. Didn't mention Donald Trump's name,
Speaker 1: but support the war effort as far as I know,
Speaker 1: though none of the other former presidents Obama, Clinton, Biden
Speaker 1: have said anything at all, one way or the other
Speaker 1: about this. Are you surprised, No, I'm not.
Speaker 29: Because they're enablers. We would not have this forty seven
Speaker 29: year old regime of the eye tools, mulas and clerics
Speaker 29: if it had not been for Jimmy Carter and what
Speaker 29: he did and not support the show of Iran. We
Speaker 29: would not have the enriched weaponry that Iran has and
Speaker 29: the support to terrorism. And it had not been for
Speaker 29: seventeen point billion dollars that the Obama and also the
Speaker 29: Administration Center, and also to include the Iran and Nuclear
Speaker 29: Agreement which took them on the path to having that capability.
Speaker 29: The sure destruction theory that we operated in the Cold
Speaker 29: War with the Soviet Union, it goes out the window
Speaker 29: with these mabolism and iotolas and clerics.
Speaker 1: One minute left colonel, you served in Congress, you served
Speaker 1: as the chair of the Texas Republican Party. What's your
Speaker 1: next move are you? Are you done with politics?
Speaker 29: Well, you know, I believe that you trust in the
Speaker 29: Lord with all that hard lean not upon your own understanding.
Speaker 29: I just want to be a humble servant to God
Speaker 29: into my country. I took a note to support and
Speaker 29: defend the Constitution. That's why I enjoyed being the executive
Speaker 29: director of the American Constitutional Rights Union that's been around
Speaker 29: since nineteen ninety nine and was founding board was ed Meese,
Speaker 29: Ronald Reagan's attorney general. So what a great legacy.
Speaker 1: Give me your take real quickly. On the Senate race
Speaker 1: in Texas on the Republican side, as you know Cornin
Speaker 1: versus Paxson.
Speaker 29: I gotta tell you I voted for Wesley Hunt in
Speaker 29: that race. Senator Cornyn is without an out. He you know,
Speaker 29: when he gets around to election time, he starts act
Speaker 29: like he's a conservative. And Ken Paxson has so much baggage.
Speaker 29: You were fitting onto a United States Ara Force C
Speaker 29: seventeen cargo plane. So we just don't have any good
Speaker 29: choices in this runoff. But when you look at woke, Jesus,
Speaker 29: James tall Rico. Either one of them is better than
Speaker 29: James telling we have.
Speaker 1: To leave it there. Colonel, thank you for coming on.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. God bless up to Thank.
Speaker 29: You for doping me.
Speaker 28: And being conscious of the facts that I need people
Speaker 28: who are high net worth to support the generous social
Speaker 28: programs that we want to have in our state. Right now,
Speaker 28: there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up.
Speaker 6: Okay, cut me the checks.
Speaker 28: I mean, just if you want to be supportive, but
Speaker 28: maybe the first step should we go down to Palm
Speaker 28: Beach and see who you can bring back home because
Speaker 28: our tax base has been eroded. So I philosophic, we
Speaker 28: don't have a problem. It is like I have to
Speaker 28: look at the fact that we are in competition with
Speaker 28: others dates who have less of a tax burden on
Speaker 28: their corporations and their individuals, And I would say remote
Speaker 28: work changed everything. There are people who could only work
Speaker 28: in an office in Manhattan and work in New York State,
Speaker 28: and they were captives to our state.
Speaker 6: They was on a state. We saw that that's not
Speaker 6: the case.
Speaker 28: I mean, you know Wall Street businesses looking at Texas,
Speaker 28: They're not going there because they have a nicer governor.
Speaker 28: I know that for sure, But they're going there because
Speaker 28: of the tax. Right, we'd have to be smart about this,
Speaker 28: but we can fund what we want to fund with
Speaker 28: what we already are taking.
Speaker 1: Triple light nineteenn one sage Triple eight nine seven one
Speaker 1: seven two four to three. I am Larry Yelder sell
Speaker 1: them NewsChannel, that is the governor of New York saying
Speaker 1: you have a patriotic duty if you're a high net
Speaker 1: worth person to stay in New York and be taxed
Speaker 1: to the nose. We get back to that in a second,
Speaker 1: but first, another weekend is upon us. And if you
Speaker 1: go through tonight, Saturday, Sunday, just remember my campaign for
Speaker 1: Food for the Poor. Tell you why Food for the
Speaker 1: Poor is rushing clean living water to thirsty kids throughout
Speaker 1: the poorest countries in our hemisphere. In the Nation of Columbia,
Speaker 1: for example, the need for safe clean water has reached
Speaker 1: critical levels. Instead of children getting sick from bad quality water,
Speaker 1: your donations are making it possible for our friends at
Speaker 1: Christian nonprofit Food for the Poor to deliver hope in
Speaker 1: the poorest remote areas. One grateful mom named Norma wanted
Speaker 1: to send her personal thanks to you right here on
Speaker 1: radio and TV.
Speaker 4: They found a way to keep giving us wherever we
Speaker 4: need in order to have something. Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: I don't have the words to say enough thank you,
Speaker 4: because at least we have something, and I thank the donors.
Speaker 5: Especially that you never forget about us. I don't know
Speaker 5: how to say, but thank you, God, bless you, and
Speaker 5: please keep helping.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is hop over to Larryyelder
Speaker 1: dot com to make a generous gift to help thirsty
Speaker 1: boys and girls right here in our own hemisphere. There's
Speaker 1: a banner at the top of my homepage that reads
Speaker 1: give Living Water. When you click on it, you'll see
Speaker 1: how easy it is to join this entirely life saving
Speaker 1: campaign that does not take one dime from government. When
Speaker 1: I went to Guatemala on behalf of Food for the Poor,
Speaker 1: we were drilling a well in a very poor area,
Speaker 1: and I spoke with a woman who lived in a
Speaker 1: I don't know what you would call it, kind of
Speaker 1: like a teepee, no running water, no electricity, but the
Speaker 1: dirt floor was completely clean, if you can imagine. She
Speaker 1: still took pride in where she lived, but this kind
Speaker 1: of poverty is unlike the kind of poverty we have
Speaker 1: here in America. Her pride moved me to tears again.

Speaker 1: I would check it out. And the NYPD does allow
Speaker 1: religious accommodations. Muslim women can wear a hit job while
Speaker 1: on duty, but it can obscure her face or interfere
Speaker 1: with safety or job performance. And the reason for this
Speaker 1: is what I said, the First Amendment religious freedom and
Speaker 1: also there's a law US law that requires employers, including
Speaker 1: police departments, to provide what they call reasonable religious accommodations
Speaker 1: unless it causes undue hardship. So that's the NYPD policy.
Speaker 1: Nancy is in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Nancy, you're in the Larry
Speaker 1: Odes Show. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 12: Larry.
Speaker 30: I want to thank you for your clear vision. I
Speaker 30: say right on to everything you say. I'm a Philadelphia lawyer,
Speaker 30: and I am the war and in Iran's personal to me,
Speaker 30: I'm only one of two living descendants of Holocaust survivors
Speaker 30: after over fifty of my closest relatives, we're guessed to
Speaker 30: death by Hitler. My view of what is doing is
Speaker 30: that he's finishing the unfinished business from World War Two.
Speaker 30: And interesting that he mentioned Pearl Harbor recently. Here's my
Speaker 30: position number one. During World War two, the Access countries Germany, Italy,
Speaker 30: and Japan. We got rid of the Nazis, we got
Speaker 30: rid of the fascist and we got rid of the
Speaker 30: Asian fascists. Okay, but the one group that we did
Speaker 30: not get rid of, that no president got rid of
Speaker 30: other than Donald Trump trying to do so, was the
Speaker 30: fourth member of the Access of Evil, the unofficial member,
Speaker 30: and that would have been the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem
Speaker 30: that Mark Levin has gout repeatedly. Okay, and the Softi
Speaker 30: and the Arabs wanted to join forces with Hitler to
Speaker 30: rid the world of not just the Jews but also
Speaker 30: anybody not Moslim, including you Christians like blonde haired Megan
Speaker 30: Kelly and the good old Tucker Barson. There was Nora
Speaker 30: at that time. There was not a fight between Arabs
Speaker 30: and Israel, Muslims and Israelis. There was no Israel. It
Speaker 30: was against the Jews and against anybody that was not Jewish.
Speaker 30: During World War two? During World War two, did anybody
Speaker 30: complain in America that we carpet bombed Dresden.
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 30: During World War two did anybody complain that nukes were
Speaker 30: dropped in Japan?
Speaker 24: No.
Speaker 30: The presidents at that time, including the anti Semite Roosevelt,
Speaker 30: had the full support of the American people.
Speaker 9: After we were.
Speaker 30: Attacked at Pearl Harbor, where's the support, after we were
Speaker 30: attacked on nine to eleven, where's the support? Where's the support?
Speaker 21: No?
Speaker 9: No, nowhere.
Speaker 10: Guess what it's.
Speaker 30: Finned by me. If we carpet bomb and nuke Iran
Speaker 30: all at the same time.
Speaker 1: No, Nancy, most people don't know about the Grand Mouftee
Speaker 1: of Jerusalem, about the division of Muslim warriors that he
Speaker 1: recruited to fight on behalf of the Nazis. Most people
Speaker 1: don't even know about them.
Speaker 30: I know, and I say bravo to Donald Trump. He
Speaker 30: understands history. He was around during World War Two. He
Speaker 30: knows exactly what happened. Oh yeah, he's dumb, dumb like
Speaker 30: a fox. And I applauch for trying to finish off
Speaker 30: the business from World War Two that never got sick.
Speaker 30: And it will protect protect not just Israeli's not just Jews,
Speaker 30: but even.
Speaker 6: The blonde haired, blue eyed.
Speaker 30: Meggan Kelli from being told she has to wear a burka.
Speaker 1: Nancy, quickly before you go. It must drive you crazy
Speaker 1: when you hear somebody like Bernie Sanders referred to Israel
Speaker 1: as having committed genocide.
Speaker 30: Bernie Sanders has been an idiot and an anti Semite
Speaker 30: his whole life. I pay no attention to what he
Speaker 30: and other people like him say. And by the way,
Speaker 30: did I mention I'm a Philly lawyer. I make my case,
Speaker 30: and I hope my case made sense.
Speaker 1: Nancy, you just did. Thank you so much for calling.
Speaker 1: Proud to have you a fan of the show. I'm
Speaker 1: Larry old As.
Speaker 7: The bottom line is that to give another twenty thousand
Speaker 7: bonds to a country which committed genocide in Gaza happens
Speaker 7: to be, among many other things, forget the moral issue,
Speaker 7: happens to be a violation of American law. You don't
Speaker 7: sell arms according to American law. The countries violate international
Speaker 7: law and human rights. Clearly Israel has done that. Israel
Speaker 7: talked Nathannado, who for forty years has wanted a war
Speaker 7: with Iran, finally got a president to go along with them,
Speaker 7: started this war. And it's not only the horror that's
Speaker 7: taking place in Iran right now, something like fifteen percent
Speaker 7: a million people in Lebanon have been displaced.
Speaker 1: Israel is moving.
Speaker 7: Aggressively in the West, man killing people, displacing people, making
Speaker 7: the idea of a two state solution virtually impossible. Why
Speaker 7: anybody in the right minds we want to continue funding
Speaker 7: Israel is beyond me?
Speaker 1: Triple nine seventy one, Sage Triple eight nine seventy one,
Speaker 1: seven two four to three. I am Larry Elder Salem
Speaker 1: News Channel that, of course, with Brandy Sanders put no
Speaker 1: trouble funding the war on behalf of Ukraine against Russia.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a problem. But this is triple eight nine
Speaker 1: seven one seven two four to three. Larry Elder Salem
Speaker 1: News Channel. Earlier we played Kathy Hopel, the governor of
Speaker 1: New York, urging wealthy people not to leave New York
Speaker 1: for lower tax states like Texas and Florida, because it
Speaker 1: would be patriotic for them to pass the hat and
Speaker 1: pay for all the welfare programs that they want. Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom is saying that Texas and Florida are the real
Speaker 1: high tax states. Well, if that's true, why would the
Speaker 1: governor of New York complain that people are moving from
Speaker 1: New York to Florida and Texas? Since, after all, according
Speaker 1: to Gavin Newsom, Texas and Florida or the real high
Speaker 1: tax states number twenty one, we.
Speaker 31: Have the most progressive tax rates in America, Texas the
Speaker 31: most regressive. Texas taxes poor folks more than we tax
Speaker 31: are riches. The question for you is who's the higher
Speaker 31: tax state, California or Texas?
Speaker 11: Who are you for?
Speaker 31: Are you just for the one percent or are you
Speaker 31: for the ninety nine?
Speaker 23: And so all roach.
Speaker 31: That's one of the progressive tax Florida is the other
Speaker 31: regressive tax state. Your middle class paying more taxes in
Speaker 31: Texas than our middle class in California. It's a great mythology.
Speaker 31: It's just the richest and the rich come here because
Speaker 31: they can avoid pain, and damn.
Speaker 1: Penny, it's amazing this man could just kick back like
Speaker 1: that and say things that are just flat out untrue
Speaker 1: with the greatest of ease Kiplinger. Kiplinger has rated california
Speaker 1: It's tax raiding for the middle class to be the
Speaker 1: fifth highest in the country, with middle income families spending
Speaker 1: nearly thirteen percent of their income on state taxes. Real
Speaker 1: Clear Politics an analysis of the tax burden, a list
Speaker 1: of California the fourth highest. Florida and Texas were among
Speaker 1: the lowest tax burden states. And then there's the outrageous
Speaker 1: amount of money that we pay in taxes, gas prices,
Speaker 1: gas taxes, and what are we getting for it. It's
Speaker 1: one thing to tax, it's another thing to spend the
Speaker 1: money so that people who are taxed don't get the
Speaker 1: return on their money. Even Bill Maher complained about this
Speaker 1: number twenty what we saw.
Speaker 32: Rich people. I'm sure you'd agree with this, Actually do
Speaker 32: pay the freight in this I just saw these statistics.
Speaker 32: I mean something like seventy percent, and here in California.
Speaker 32: I just want to say, Liberals, you could actually lose me.
Speaker 32: It's outrageous what we're paying over fifty percent. I'm willing
Speaker 32: to pay my share, but yeah, I mean it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And John Stewart number eighteen.
Speaker 33: So for Democrats, it's always been interesting that they've had
Speaker 33: trouble connecting the money that they're asking to raise through
Speaker 33: taxes to the value it's providing to tax payers. So
Speaker 33: to the point of like there's a lot of referendums
Speaker 33: up there now a billionaire's tax, or getting people that
Speaker 33: pay one hundred thousand dollars not to have to pay
Speaker 33: any income tax. But I think too often the politicians
Speaker 33: haven't connected that money to real value. I don't think
Speaker 33: people trust that that money will be spent responsibly or
Speaker 33: have any efficacy.
Speaker 34: So predictably, yes, being the capital of Silicon Valley, we
Speaker 34: created some dashboards to show people.
Speaker 29: It works.
Speaker 1: We created some dashboards to show how the money is
Speaker 1: being spent, said this candidate for governor. We come back
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about what happened when they lowered the
Speaker 1: taxes in Massachusetts and they gave taxpayers an option to
Speaker 1: pay the old higher tax if they wanted to. How
Speaker 1: many taxpayers do you think opted to pay the higher
Speaker 1: tax in this very, very liberal state that believes in
Speaker 1: taxing the rich. Triple eight nine seven one S eight
Speaker 1: g E and fraud in California, Don't leave town Triple
Speaker 1: eight nine seven S, triple eight nine one seventy two
Speaker 1: four three. I am Larry Older, Salem News Channel, coming
Speaker 1: to you from the Relief Actor studio. Don't think it's
Speaker 1: your relief Factor eight hundred four relief eight hundred to
Speaker 1: number four relief or Reliefactor dot Com. That's Reliefactor dot Com. Finally,
Speaker 1: one of the networks has been looking into the fraud
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles. This is CBS number thirty.
Speaker 35: This was what we referred to as ground zero. That
Speaker 35: building is considered ground zero because it just was so blatant.
Speaker 36: Hospice patient advocate Sheila Clark has been raising alarm on
Speaker 36: this one building in LA for years. This building our
Speaker 36: investigation found is home to eighty nine registered hospice companies.
Speaker 36: It's called the Marabi Professional Medical Plaza, and it's the
Speaker 36: most extreme case of hospice clustering that we found.
Speaker 35: And this particular building I noticed. I'm like, dang, how
Speaker 35: can there be that many licensed and certified hospices in
Speaker 35: this tiny little building.
Speaker 36: We went to the van U's address to find out
Speaker 36: what's going on. We're going to try to go in
Speaker 36: and see what we can find.
Speaker 1: Here's the directory.
Speaker 37: Hospice, home health agency, hospice, hospice, they'll come back. Just
Speaker 37: looking at this directory, you could see dozens of hospice
Speaker 37: agencies coming up. The state and federal records for hospice
Speaker 37: agencies tell you a lot. State auditors have identified warning
Speaker 37: signs when they're looking for fraud, like multiple hospice offices
Speaker 37: packed into one building, or caretakers whose patients who are
Speaker 37: supposedly at death's door are discharged alive. According to our analysis,
Speaker 37: seventy two of the eighty nine registered hospices in Marabi
Speaker 37: Plaza have at least three of those potential warning signs.
Speaker 35: This isn't possible. This It made no sense because I
Speaker 35: know what a license and certified hospice looks like.
Speaker 36: We weren't the first ones to come to this building.
Speaker 36: Federal inspection records show that regulators visit in multiple Wheats
Speaker 36: and Robbie Plaza between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty five,
Speaker 36: and they found nearly four hundred violations. At one, a
Speaker 36: nurse wrote that a patient's family was satisfied with the care,
Speaker 36: but inspectors found no one from the hospice ever even
Speaker 36: visited that patient. At another, the patient's chart listed medications
Speaker 36: for malaria and diabetes, but the patient told inspectors he
Speaker 36: wasn't taking either one. And at that same company, a
Speaker 36: hospice social worker wrote about a family's grief when their
Speaker 36: loved one had passed, but there is no evidence the
Speaker 36: patient was actually dead. These hospices have been building Medicare
Speaker 36: for reimbursement with your tax dollars for years. Why are
Speaker 36: we still seeing such, you know, rampant signs of this.
Speaker 36: Why hasn't more been done.
Speaker 38: We're committed to tackling the issue until we rooted out
Speaker 38: and extinguished all fraud.
Speaker 36: So who's working to fix this? Well, the state Attorney
Speaker 36: General is the one responsible for investigating the industry here
Speaker 36: in California.
Speaker 38: California is always going to have the biggest numbers we're
Speaker 38: the biggest state or the fourth largest economy in the world.
Speaker 38: We have the most people of any state. But this
Speaker 38: issue is unacceptable and we need to keep tackling it
Speaker 38: and do more.
Speaker 36: We're also following the money here. Medicare is federally administered.
Speaker 36: It's your federal tax dollars going to these hospices. So
Speaker 36: we sat down with doctor mem and Oz, who heads
Speaker 36: the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services. Is this accelerating
Speaker 36: the enforcement the shutting down of these hospices.
Speaker 39: We have dramatically accelerated our ability to take out the
Speaker 39: bad guys by stopping their payments, and that's the big
Speaker 39: mindset shift. I want to make it clear we're not
Speaker 39: going to pay you money just because you sent me
Speaker 39: a piece of paper with a bill on it. We're
Speaker 39: gonna check to make sure that's legitimate and that document
Speaker 39: is evidence that you actually perform them that's helpful to
Speaker 39: the American people, or you're not getting money from us.
Speaker 36: When we went back to Marabi Plaza, we found building's owner,
Speaker 36: Combi's Morabi Incies.
Speaker 40: Tenant would come in as long as they're legit, they
Speaker 40: have valid things that we need. I rent I'm not
Speaker 40: a police or keeper of what they do how they do.
Speaker 36: Business, So from your perspective, they're licensed. You know, that's
Speaker 36: obviously the first sort of barometer of you know, measuring
Speaker 36: whether whether or not.
Speaker 40: Absolutely, and look maybe state and the federal government. It's
Speaker 40: becoming restrict on many businesses. And I'm all for it
Speaker 40: because at the end of that you and I are
Speaker 40: paying for all those things that are not right.
Speaker 36: Moami wouldn't let us walk the halls on our own
Speaker 36: to talk with hospice employees, but told us this about
Speaker 36: any possible fraud. If you learn of hospices in your
Speaker 36: building that are accused of fraud, I would immediately even
Speaker 36: get many okay, yes, but that hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 11: No, I have.
Speaker 40: No one has ever come to me tell me that, Okay,
Speaker 40: this sword that is doing fraud.
Speaker 12: Wow.
Speaker 1: And then there's a money that spent to house thirty
Speaker 1: two homeless people. Listen to this number seven.
Speaker 34: An exclusive look at the Marine in Del Rey, multi
Speaker 34: million dollar homeless housing project were for years. Neighbors say
Speaker 34: construction has been slow.
Speaker 1: Where are the workers?
Speaker 41: Where is the urgency?
Speaker 34: The city of La bought the former Ramana in on
Speaker 34: Washington Boulevard in twenty twenty for ten point two million dollars.
Speaker 34: It was used as interim homeless housing before shutting down
Speaker 34: in twenty twenty two to be converted into permanent support
Speaker 34: of housing. Since then, for almost four years, the property
Speaker 34: has sat unfinished.
Speaker 42: Why does it take so long in such a waste
Speaker 42: of money that there's nothing to even show for it?
Speaker 34: City documents revealed the nonprofit Path took almost two years
Speaker 34: to get permits approved, and by then they needed even
Speaker 34: more money. The city added another million and a half
Speaker 34: in homeless housing funds plus loans and grants, bringing the
Speaker 34: total price tag to around twenty million dollars for just
Speaker 34: thirty two units.
Speaker 42: Ten million dollar purchase that was gifted to Path. You know,
Speaker 42: without really any other approval from the neighbors.
Speaker 34: You could certainly do with it around here to have
Speaker 34: people living in the you know, there's a lot of
Speaker 34: craziness out here. So right next to the building, we're
Speaker 34: seeing a pile of what looks like used toilet paper
Speaker 34: and then possibly a homeless encampment.
Speaker 41: To keep hearing from our local electeds that were at
Speaker 41: a crisis, where's the urgency? We have thirty rooms here?
Speaker 41: That should have been remained open for the last six years.
Speaker 34: City officials now admit the project exposed major flaws in
Speaker 34: the process. In a new report, the administrator urges to
Speaker 34: not authorize the demobilization of any project home key sites
Speaker 34: until full funding has been secured. Expected completion now by
Speaker 34: the end of the year.
Speaker 41: Last year they said it was going to open in spring,
Speaker 41: and then in winter, they said it was going to
Speaker 41: open in summer. And if you take a look around,
Speaker 41: I bet you it won't be open next summer.
Speaker 34: Back out here, Michaels, show your construction still very much ongoing.
Speaker 1: Wow. Now, for years I've talked about Relief Factor, and
Speaker 1: you've heard stories from people who finally found real relief
Speaker 1: after trying the three week quick start. My brother's one
Speaker 1: of them had difficulty going up and down the stairs
Speaker 1: in the morning until he took my advice. After seven days,
Speaker 1: he said, this is working. Relief Factor is always striving
Speaker 1: to help folks get out and stay out of pain. Remarkably,
Speaker 1: Relief Factor is made. They're already trusted formula. Even better,
Speaker 1: they've added a premium black pepper extract because it helps
Speaker 1: your body absorb the high quality key ingredients. More efficiently.
Speaker 1: In simple terms, it helps your body get even more
Speaker 1: benefit from what you're already taking. That matters. If you're
Speaker 1: going to take something daily, you want your body actually
Speaker 1: using it. So if you've been listening to me talk
Speaker 1: about relief Factor for a while, maybe this is your moment.
Speaker 1: Or if you're already taking it, you're now getting an
Speaker 1: enhanced formula designed to work even smarter. Start with a
Speaker 1: three week quick start nineteen dollars ninety five cents less

Speaker 1: Salem News Channel.
Speaker 16: So.
Speaker 1: In two thousand and one, the state of Massachusetts, formerly
Speaker 1: known as Taxachusetts, lowered the state income tax rate. Given
Speaker 1: the fact that it's a left wing state that believes
Speaker 1: that wealthy people should pay more to fund all the
Speaker 1: programs they want, they allowed tax filers to check a
Speaker 1: box so they could voluntarily pay the old higher rate. Now,
Speaker 1: in a state of three million tax filers, how many
Speaker 1: volunteered to pay the higher tax rate? Three million tax filers,
Speaker 1: nine hundred and thirty did. That is a fraction of
Speaker 1: one percent. Among those refused to pay the higher rate
Speaker 1: were Senator John Kerrey and Representative Barney Frank. In the
Speaker 1: case of Barney Frank, he was asked why he refused
Speaker 1: to pay the higher tax rate. You know what, he said,
Speaker 1: I don't trust the legislative leadership and then Governor Mitt
Speaker 1: Romney to make the right decisions. Brownie Franks said instead,
Speaker 1: I'll donate the money to charity myself. I think about that.
Speaker 1: This is a left wing guy who says I don't
Speaker 1: want to pay higher taxes because I don't trust the
Speaker 1: government to spend the money properly. How do you think
Speaker 1: we feel? Thomas is in Vancouver, Washington, Thomas Or and
Speaker 1: the Larry Ota Show.
Speaker 9: Larry, pleasure to talk to you. I was hoping you'd
Speaker 9: be the governor by now, but oh well, maybe mister
Speaker 9: Hilton can win. But just here, as a son of
Speaker 9: a Holocaust survivor, I'd like to make it clear the
Speaker 9: audience why we had to go into Iran and do
Speaker 9: what we did, or why trant pat to do what
Speaker 9: he did. You gotta remember this, Larry Worships. Iranian worships
Speaker 9: were coming into Venezuela on the regular basis. They were
Speaker 9: more than likely planning on putting nuclear warhads on missiles,
Speaker 9: and they were going to come up the coasts on
Speaker 9: California and New York and take out several cities on
Speaker 9: both East and the West coast. That is more than
Speaker 9: likely to planned that they had, and we had to
Speaker 9: stop them from doing it. And I still think we
Speaker 9: should be using tactical milks on them. But that's just me.
Speaker 9: And I've lived in Israel, you know, for many years,
Speaker 9: because i am in Israeli by Bert, and I'm not
Speaker 9: big on beabing at Tanyahoo. I like some things about it,
Speaker 9: but he was not the reason we went into Iran.
Speaker 9: And some people are brainwashed to think that he was
Speaker 9: the reason we went into Iran.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as if Donald Trump was going to take order
Speaker 1: from somebody else. Thomas, thank you so much for calling.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Everybody, have a wonderful weekend. Don't forget
Speaker 1: food for the poor. I'm Larry Elder, what can I say?
Speaker 2: My bow.
Speaker 1: For Mike has been dropped all across America.
Speaker 6: That's enough.
Speaker 1: Put down the mic.
