Speaker 1: for socialists. Former Medicaid official says states are not committing
Speaker 1: fraud that Senator Kennedy was not amused. Democrats are not
Speaker 1: only refusing to denounce Hassan Piker, the DSA member who
Speaker 1: said Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel, they
Speaker 1: are embracing him. Does the Muslim Brotherhood have an alliance
Speaker 1: with the Democrat Socialists of America? The stock market hit
Speaker 1: record highs again today. A Reagan economist says the national
Speaker 1: economy is doing great. A w NBA coach as trans
Speaker 1: women should be able to play in the w NBA.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a trip down memory lane when the
Speaker 1: great Ol'd Durfy was fact checked on what I said
Speaker 1: about government spending in nineteen hundred versus government spending today.
Speaker 1: W NBA star Angel Reyes, who is black, said there
Speaker 1: were no black dolls and she was a little girl,
Speaker 1: which makes her a really important role model right now. Really,
Speaker 1: it's fact checked time all of this and more Triple
Speaker 1: eight nine seventy one sage nine seven one seven two
Speaker 1: four to three. I'm want to give a shout out
Speaker 1: to my man David Cole, who, as you know I
Speaker 1: mentioned him a few days ago, is in rehab. But
Speaker 1: he's getting out of jail on August the eighteenth. He's
Speaker 1: now walking better, feeling better, talking better, and pretty soon
Speaker 1: we'll be back to composing. He has another score he's
Speaker 1: working on right now. So David, if you are listening,
Speaker 1: and I know you are, MUCHO love. I want to
Speaker 1: start with this letter we received from Frank, who says
Speaker 1: he's an artist, storyboard artist, love artists. I don't want
Speaker 1: to get off on a tangent, but I used to
Speaker 1: love drawing when I was a kid. I used to
Speaker 1: love drawing cartoons and we would get the Sunday newspaper,
Speaker 1: and the Sunday newspaper had these little cartoons, and I
Speaker 1: thought cartoonists actually drew that small to fit in the
Speaker 1: little boxes. And I would get so frustrated because I
Speaker 1: would try and draw, but they were so tiny. It
Speaker 1: was hard for me to be exact when I was drawing,
Speaker 1: but I tried and it wasn't until years later I
Speaker 1: found out that most artists draw on this big fat easel,
Speaker 1: and they have a machine that reduces the thing to
Speaker 1: the side that it fits on the newspaper panel. It's
Speaker 1: all this time I was trying to draw characters that
Speaker 1: were that small. Okay, Larry who cares? Now received this
Speaker 1: letter from Frank Larry and crew while bunch this means
Speaker 1: to you. That's where I referred to my crew as
Speaker 1: and my crew consisted of mister McConnell, mister Levan, Ricky
Speaker 1: Matt Who am I leaving out? Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: of course Rick Richard, as he tells me to call him.
Speaker 1: That's the wild bunch. So Larry and crew love this
Speaker 1: show and everything you guy to do. I was listening
Speaker 1: to Larry's show today and right before the six pm
Speaker 1: on AM eight seventy, which is the affiliate here in
Speaker 1: LA Larry played a SoundBite of a conservative talking to
Speaker 1: somebody else who was talking and to whom was he speaking?
Speaker 1: I didn't catch that anyway, I would love to know
Speaker 1: who the guy is, listen to more of his talks
Speaker 1: or speeches, or even read his books. Thanks Frank, well
Speaker 1: the gentleman, You're referring to is a great Milton Friedman,
Speaker 1: the economists who wrote, among other things, with his wife,
Speaker 1: also an economist, Free to Choose. PBS made a series
Speaker 1: out of it, which was hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger, which
Speaker 1: is one of the reasons I supported Schwarzenegger when he
Speaker 1: ran for governor in the recollection, because I assumed that
Speaker 1: he was a real libertarian. He's not. He's more of
Speaker 1: a populist and more left than he is, in my
Speaker 1: opinion conservative. But Arnold Forarzenegger hosted the series that was
Speaker 1: done on PBS years ago about his book called Free
Speaker 1: to Choose, and Milton Freeman was on a daily talk
Speaker 1: show hosted by Phil Donahue. Phil Donahue later on got
Speaker 1: a show on MSNB he Haw and it was clear
Speaker 1: how left wing he is, although you can tell that
Speaker 1: from this exchange with Milton Friedman. Friedman is a well
Speaker 1: known libertarian, also a member of the Republican Party. As
Speaker 1: I am, I call myself a Republicarian. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's ever called himself that, but he was a member
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party and a very prominent small l libertarian.
Speaker 1: And they were discussing and the reason I'm talking about
Speaker 1: this is because of the victory these socialists received on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: The candidate in Michigan, Abdul lsiad one is race or
Speaker 1: two other left wing Michigan people running for the House
Speaker 1: who won their races. And you know about the candidate
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, the governor in the government's race, she's leading
Speaker 1: on the Democratic side. So they're going to be a
Speaker 1: bunch of these Democrats socialists who will be running in
Speaker 1: the general election. Many of them are going to be winning.
Speaker 1: Here in La, we already have four of the fifteen
Speaker 1: members of the La City Council who are Democrat Socialists
Speaker 1: of America. There is a Democrat social of America running
Speaker 1: against the already left wing mayor, and the polls show
Speaker 1: that she has got a shot at unseating this mayor.
Speaker 1: So these people are rising, and their agenda basically is
Speaker 1: that rich people don't pay their share in taxes, and
Speaker 1: that capitalism is inherently unfair because the rich get richer,
Speaker 1: the poor get poor, and it's a system that's designed
Speaker 1: to benefit those who have advantages and screw everybody else.
Speaker 1: That's the attitude. So Milton Friedman, who is a very
Speaker 1: prominent proponent of capitalism is on Phil Donoshu's show, and
Speaker 1: the topic is capitalism and greed. Doesn't capitalism mister economists,
Speaker 1: reward greed number thirty one.
Speaker 2: When you see around the globe the maldistribution of wealth,
Speaker 2: the desperate plight of millions of people in underdeveloped countries,
Speaker 2: when you see so few haves and so many have nots,
Speaker 2: when you see the greed and the concentration of power.
Speaker 1: With it, aren't you ever did you ever have a moment.
Speaker 2: Of doubt about capitalism and whether greed's a good idea
Speaker 2: to run on.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, tell me, is there some society
Speaker 3: you know that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia
Speaker 3: doesn't run on greed? You think China.
Speaker 4: Doesn't run on greed?
Speaker 5: What is greed?
Speaker 3: Of course, none of us are greeding. It's only the
Speaker 3: other fellow who's greeding. The world runs on individuals pursuing
Speaker 3: their separate enders. The great achievements of civilization have not
Speaker 3: come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under
Speaker 3: order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile
Speaker 3: industry that way. In the only cases in which the
Speaker 3: masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you're
Speaker 3: talking about the only cases in recorded history or where
Speaker 3: they have had capitalism and largely free trade. If you
Speaker 3: want to know where the masses are worse off worst off,
Speaker 3: it's exactly in the kinds of societies that depart from that.
Speaker 3: So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear
Speaker 3: that there is no alternative way so far discovered of
Speaker 3: improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold
Speaker 3: a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by
Speaker 3: a free enterprise.
Speaker 2: So it seems to reward not virtue as much as
Speaker 2: ability to manipulate the system.
Speaker 5: And what does reward virtue?
Speaker 3: You think the communist commissary rewards virtue? You think a
Speaker 3: hitlery war Ward's virtue, you think, excuse me, if you'll
Speaker 3: pardon me, do you think American president's reward virtue? Do
Speaker 3: they choose their appointees on the basis of the virtue
Speaker 3: of the people appointed or on the basis of their
Speaker 3: political cloud? Is it really true that political self hitters
Speaker 3: is nobler somehow than economic self edters. You know, I
Speaker 3: think you're taking a lot of things for granted and
Speaker 3: just tell me where in the world you find these
Speaker 3: angels who are going to organize society for us.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't even trust you.
Speaker 1: To do that. Now. We were talking over the last
Speaker 1: several weeks about how much the rich, the top one
Speaker 1: percent pay in taxes. And I've told you about the
Speaker 1: party that I went to where I found a woman
Speaker 1: who was whining about how the rich don't pay anything
Speaker 1: in taxes. I told her, depending upon you how you
Speaker 1: define the word rich, I'm rich. Offered to show her
Speaker 1: my tax return. She didn't want to see them. So
Speaker 1: I asked her what percentage of all the federal income
Speaker 1: tax was paid by the top one percent, and she
Speaker 1: said one percent, two percent. And I made an expression
Speaker 1: on my face like I just smelt something really bad
Speaker 1: and to let her know that she was clearly off.
Speaker 1: But she never even asked me what the number was.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell her because I knew she didn't care.
Speaker 1: I knew she didn't want to know. I knew she
Speaker 1: wouldn't retain it when I said it. The top one
Speaker 1: percent pay over forty percent of all the federal income taxes.
Speaker 1: Here in California, the top one percent pay over fifty
Speaker 1: percent of all the state income taxes. That's a large
Speaker 1: source of revenue in California, while the rich are making
Speaker 1: around twenty fifteen to twenty percent of the nation's income,
Speaker 1: so if anything, they're over taxed, as was said by
Speaker 1: the editorial board of The Washington Post, which is a
Speaker 1: left wing publication, in two thousand and eight at the DNC,
Speaker 1: a US News and World Report, blogger asked twenty four
Speaker 1: of the DNC delegates at that convention in Denver and
Speaker 1: asking what's the highest rate the rich to pay in
Speaker 1: federal income taxes. The average answer given by these twenty
Speaker 1: five people was twenty five percent. At the time, the
Speaker 1: top marginal rate was thirty five percent, so most of
Speaker 1: them had no idea. The top marginal rate was ten
Speaker 1: points higher than the rate that they suggested. It should
Speaker 1: be no higher than that had no idea. It's one
Speaker 1: thing to say the rich don't pay their fair share
Speaker 1: in taxes, another thing to be clueless about the rich,
Speaker 1: in fact, do pay now. My fellow Americans, turning sixty
Speaker 1: five should feel like a reward. Instead, medicare hits you

Speaker 1: in education today is how artificial intelligence is shaping the

Speaker 1: than most schools are willing to admit, and many families

Speaker 1: to outsource thinking to machines. It's to train students to
Speaker 1: think for themselves. PhD emphasizes a Christian liberal arts education

Speaker 1: eight ninet seven one s hGe triple eight nine seven
Speaker 1: one seven two four three. I am Larry Elder. We
Speaker 1: are saleing news chaps talking about the rise of socialism
Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party, and majority of Democrats now say
Speaker 1: they prefer a Democrat socialist to be president in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty eight. This to me is shocking. It's shocking the
Speaker 1: level of abject stupidity and ignorance about the history of socialism,
Speaker 1: the legacy of socialism, the definition of socialism, the idea.
Speaker 1: Because you're unhappy about so called affordability, a crisis which
Speaker 1: is hardly been caused by the very people that you
Speaker 1: pull the lever for, and your answer is more socialism,
Speaker 1: more left wing stuff. California is ground zero for all
Speaker 1: the nonsense that a growing number of Americans now want.
Speaker 1: As I've said a million times, we have not elected
Speaker 1: a Republican statewide in California in over twenty years. Last
Speaker 1: time Los Angeles elected a Republican mayor was thirty years ago.
Speaker 1: And what's been the result? Home prices twice that of
Speaker 1: the national average. How does that happen? How does that happen?
Speaker 1: I'm talking to a journalist. When I was running for governor,
Speaker 1: I was in Sacramento. There a black newspaper in Sacramento.
Speaker 1: This guy interviewed me and during the break he told
Speaker 1: me that he was going to move because he and
Speaker 1: his wife wanted to buy a home and they couldn't
Speaker 1: afford one here in California. I said, yeah, well it
Speaker 1: was because of sequel. He said, because of what I said,
Speaker 1: sequel the California Environmental Quality Act. He said, what's that?
Speaker 1: I said, It's environmental Act for clean water, clean air
Speaker 1: that was passed by that was passed by the legislature
Speaker 1: and signed by Ronald Reagan, but taken to a whole
Speaker 1: nother level by these left wing people. They basically make
Speaker 1: it almost impossible to build anything without somebody suing you
Speaker 1: and extracting all sorts of promises that jack up the
Speaker 1: price of construction and calls all sorts of delays. So
Speaker 1: a whole lot of builders are building outside of California.
Speaker 1: I know that because I met a number of them
Speaker 1: when I was running. They may live in California because
Speaker 1: they like the weather, even though they're being taxed through
Speaker 1: the wazoo. But they're building in Tennessee, They're building in Utah,
Speaker 1: they're building in Nevada. He had never even heard of sequel,
Speaker 1: didn't know what it was, twice that of the national average.
Speaker 1: Leohanian is an economist we've interviewed for years at UCLA.
Speaker 1: He said, because of the propensity for earthquakes here in California,
Speaker 1: and therefore houses have to be designed somewhat differently, the
Speaker 1: average price should be higher by about fifteen percent, maybe
Speaker 1: ten percent, but certainly not one hundred percent. And then
Speaker 1: we have, of course, the highest gasoline price is because
Speaker 1: of the fuel additives to fight climate change. Big newspaper
Speaker 1: in the UK says the reason our cost living is
Speaker 1: so high is because of these ill advised climate change policies.
Speaker 1: Long article basically saying everything Donald Trump said about these
Speaker 1: renewables was accurate. But here in California you think Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was a climate change extremist. Joe Biden never suggested
Speaker 1: banning the cell of gas powered cars by twenty thirty five,
Speaker 1: which Gavin Newsom did until there was a big pushback
Speaker 1: and he stopped. We've banned powered leaf blowers, gas power lawnmowers,
Speaker 1: mandated trucks, be evs, even though they're more expensive and
Speaker 1: can't haul nearly as much, not nearly as efficient. I mean,
Speaker 1: you name it, on and on and on and on,
Speaker 1: regulating this, regulating that, regulating this, regulating that. More homelessness
Speaker 1: here than anywhere else, massive gap between the rich and
Speaker 1: the poor. I thought they were all concerned about income
Speaker 1: equality and inequality. Spending more money than ever on education.
Speaker 1: Our K through twelve test scores are absolutely lousy. Highest
Speaker 1: electricity prices than any state in the lower forty eight,
Speaker 1: more draconian mandates during COVID than any other state. Kids
Speaker 1: loss in my system in Los Angeles over two years
Speaker 1: of in school learning, which translates into earning the loss
Speaker 1: over their lifetime. Meanwhile, Gavinusum had its own kid in
Speaker 1: private school, so everything that these Democrats socialists want done,
Speaker 1: they're doing out here in California. The legislature passed a
Speaker 1: law setting up a panel for reparations. Gavenus and signed it.
Speaker 1: And then when they talked about how much reparation would cost,
Speaker 1: Gavenous and said, well, how that's a little more than
Speaker 1: they thought it was going to be. But not for
Speaker 1: want of trying, And more and more illegal aliens are
Speaker 1: getting health care taxpayers expense. The only reason not all
Speaker 1: of them get it is because the bill came in
Speaker 1: which would have been even larger than the entire state budget.
Speaker 1: But they sure want to. That's the direction that they
Speaker 1: love to take it into. So everything these people want,
Speaker 1: and regarding getting getting rid of the of the Senate,
Speaker 1: they basically have done that out here in California. When
Speaker 1: you consider we have the Senate where there is a
Speaker 1: supermajority of Democrats and in Assembly a lower house where
Speaker 1: it's the supermajority of Democrats, it doesn't matter. No, there's
Speaker 1: no checks and balances. They can pass whatever they want
Speaker 1: and often do without a single Republican showing up. That's
Speaker 1: how they passed that fast food bill that jacked up
Speaker 1: the price paid to minimum workers. Minimum wage workers in
Speaker 1: fast food restaurants, and the day Gavin new Some signed
Speaker 1: the bill before it went to effect wasn't going to
Speaker 1: effect for several months. The day he signed at Pizza
Speaker 1: Hut laid off twelve hundred drivers. Hello, this thing on.
Speaker 1: And one study has said that since that law has
Speaker 1: gone into effect, over ten thousand fast food workers have
Speaker 1: lost their jobs, and prices for the products sold at
Speaker 1: fast food restaurants now up nine percent, which means you
Speaker 1: are really getting shafted if you were on a fixed income.
Speaker 1: Have any of these democrats said, you know what, maybe
Speaker 1: we got that wrong. Nobody did, but the voters. There
Speaker 1: was about an initiative to put the minimum wage that
Speaker 1: was set for fast food workers to everybody else, and
Speaker 1: the voters turned it down because they saw what happened.
Speaker 1: This is a kind of nonsense going on in this state.
Speaker 1: California in the nineties pass an initiative to outlaw the
Speaker 1: use of race in college admissions, university admissions for state schools,
Speaker 1: hiring for government jobs, and for contracting in the passed
Speaker 1: no use of race well a few years ago because
Speaker 1: the state demographics have changed. Now the largest ethnic group
Speaker 1: in California are Hispanics. They soon do now trying to
Speaker 1: reintroduce initiative to repeal that proposition, and the side that
Speaker 1: wanted to use race based preferences outspent the other side
Speaker 1: by a factor I f almost five or ten to one.
Speaker 1: I forget what it was. And left wing California is
Speaker 1: voted against the use of race in college admissions and
Speaker 1: in hiring and in contracting, but the La Times endorsed it,
Speaker 1: just as the LA Times endorsed Mayor Bass over Rick Caruso,
Speaker 1: a longtime Republican turned Independent turned Democrat who had all
Speaker 1: sorts of wonderful ideas about housing guy as a developer.
Speaker 1: Very successful, he spent one hundred million dollars of his
Speaker 1: own money versus ten million that she spent her that
Speaker 1: she raised, although many more in kind contributions by union
Speaker 1: officials and union workers and the newspapers that endorsed her,
Speaker 1: but he outspent her ten to one and lost by
Speaker 1: nine points. Fifteen percent of LA residents are Republican, as
Speaker 1: opposed to thirty percent thirty years ago when they elected
Speaker 1: a Republican mayor. It's almost impossible. So any dumb idea
Speaker 1: outside of California has already been tried twice here in California.

Speaker 1: We are Salem News Channel. I want to ask George
Speaker 1: and Frankin Leslie to hold on. Let me just say
Speaker 1: a few more things before I go to the phones.
Speaker 1: As you know, Zoran Mom Dammi wants to put a
Speaker 1: government owned grocery store, one in each of the five
Speaker 1: boroughs in New York. Says that New Yorkers will soon
Speaker 1: enjoy a thirty percent discount on their meat, seafood, milk,
Speaker 1: and bread as long as they shop at a city store.
Speaker 1: They went back and forth as to whether or not
Speaker 1: you have to show proof that you are a New
Speaker 1: York City resident before you get into the store. Mandami's
Speaker 1: point person on this said yes. Mamdami said no, So
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what that means. Just reading about
Speaker 1: when the then Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev during the Cold
Speaker 1: War came here and saw an American grocery store, was
Speaker 1: blown away by the amount of a variety of goods
Speaker 1: that were available. Couldn't believe it. A few years later,
Speaker 1: there was a Soviet cosmonaut who toured a Safeway store
Speaker 1: in San Francisco was equally blown away. Many of the
Speaker 1: people coming here to America a few weeks ago to
Speaker 1: watch the FIFA World Cup were also just stunned at
Speaker 1: the abundance of goods available at grocery stores, convenience stores,
Speaker 1: and of course the air conditioning that is just commonplace here.
Speaker 1: So regarding the government stores that mam Dami is setting up,
Speaker 1: they want to pay rent. They're getting their goods at
Speaker 1: a discount, meaning the government is suppidizing the purchase. And
Speaker 1: there are eleven hundred grocery stores in the city of
Speaker 1: New York and ten thousand so called bodegas, some of
Speaker 1: which are near where these five stores are proposed to
Speaker 1: be built, and they of course are being shafted. City
Speaker 1: has already spent an estimated seventy million dollars to set
Speaker 1: up the stores. So if you're making them to sell
Speaker 1: things at a loss, which means the New York taxpayers
Speaker 1: are suppodizing these stores. And if you're paying taxes and
Speaker 1: you're operating a competing store, you're suppardizing your competitor. How
Speaker 1: stupid is that there is an organization called Multicultural Business
Speaker 1: Coalition Board, and they're filing a lawsuit to block these
Speaker 1: government stores. And these are often people who are black
Speaker 1: and brown, Asian, African, Caribbean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and Jewish
Speaker 1: owned stores. The organization includes fifty Chambers of Congress representing them,
Speaker 1: and the president of United Bodegas of America said, having
Speaker 1: items that sell for thirty percent less than our prices
Speaker 1: means nobody will come.
Speaker 5: To our stores.
Speaker 1: So these stores selling subsidized goods being paid for by
Speaker 1: their competitors in part, will put their competitors out of business. Now,
Speaker 1: the net profit margin on these stories big ones and
Speaker 1: small ones range from one percent to three percent, meaning
Speaker 1: they're very difficult to run. One of the reasons that
Speaker 1: there's so many bodegas with family members there is because
Speaker 1: a lot of family members are working at or below
Speaker 1: minimum wages or sometimes even for free their family run.
Speaker 1: The margins are that thin, and you really think that
Speaker 1: a store, by the way, it's going to be operated privately,
Speaker 1: but government supervised will be able to run it more
Speaker 1: efficiently than these private sector people. We've had one in
Speaker 1: Kansas City that was government on run and pretty soon
Speaker 1: ran out of all the goods and they shut it
Speaker 1: down with a big disaster. And the only way this
Speaker 1: will continue to work it's because more and more tax
Speaker 1: dollars will be pumped into it to keep it all
Speaker 1: set up. So on the surface it looked just fine
Speaker 1: for a while. They tried it in Venzu Whale. You
Speaker 1: know what happened black market. If you're selling stuff at
Speaker 1: thirty percent below fair market value, a lot of people
Speaker 1: working in the stores and distributors just took them, went
Speaker 1: across the border and sold them for a higher price
Speaker 1: and made money. And that's what's going to happen here.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a massive black market. Lots of theft.
Speaker 1: You're gonna run out of the supplies, and then they're
Speaker 1: going to somehow figure out some way of blaming it
Speaker 1: on the other competitors, and if Trump is still office,
Speaker 1: blaming it on Trump. These people have not even so
Speaker 1: much as run a lemonade stand, and here they are
Speaker 1: telling grocery store owners that you're charging too much. More

Speaker 1: That's Sage Wireless dot com Sage Wireless dot com. Leslie,
Speaker 1: are you still on the one O one?
Speaker 8: Yes, I'm still on the one on one.
Speaker 7: And by the way, Larry, I have my town hall tickets,
Speaker 7: so I'm excited.
Speaker 1: About that outstanding. I'll see you there.
Speaker 7: Okay. So here's my idea for either like billboards or
Speaker 7: t shirts. We should put something that says, why have
Speaker 7: GLP won the fat drug when we can have socialism
Speaker 7: where everyone will be starving.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 7: I think that would be awesome because this is where,
Speaker 7: you know, I have a granddaughter that's going to be three,
Speaker 7: and I'm worried that she's going to be in breadlines
Speaker 7: one day.
Speaker 1: Well, Leslie, thank you so much for the call for
Speaker 1: the suggestion, and please look me up at the town hall.
Speaker 1: See you there. Carol is in Prescott, Wisconsin. Carl you
Speaker 1: and Lario to show.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm on bumper to bumper traffic too in Wisconsin.
Speaker 8: I want to ask you, no one has brought this up.
Speaker 8: We have monies to give to all of our kids,
Speaker 8: and a lot of them believe in the socialism communism.
Speaker 8: They won't get our inheritance if they believe in that.
Speaker 8: I mean, if that happens Why doesn't anyone talk about
Speaker 8: don't will get their parents' inheritance money?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carol, they haven't thought it through. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for the call. I said the same way about
Speaker 1: these colleges and universities. These left wing schools have these
Speaker 1: massive endowments. Where do they think get the money? Somebody graduates,
Speaker 1: starts a company, does an invention, and gets fabulously wealthy
Speaker 1: and gives a lot of money to the school so
Speaker 1: kids can learn to be socialists when the money that
Speaker 1: they're getting and spending was not created because the socialism
Speaker 1: was created because of the free market system. It's just
Speaker 1: the lack of just thinking things through is really mind boggling.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about why this is next hour because
Speaker 1: I have a theory. George is in Santa Barbara, Georgia
Speaker 1: and the Lario the show. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 9: Hey, Well, thanks for taking my call, Larry. I wanted
Speaker 9: to give you a little insight onto the housing crisis
Speaker 9: problems in California. I have a Propeene delivery guy that's
Speaker 9: your typical good old boy, second or third generation Mexican American,
Speaker 9: and he's complaining to me that he couldn't buy a
Speaker 9: house because he keeps getting outbid by illegal immigrants that
Speaker 9: group up two or three families and outbid him for
Speaker 9: home and he's been trying for three or four years,
Speaker 9: five years. And I just found it so ironic that
Speaker 9: this typical Mexican American kid that probably you and I
Speaker 9: kind of grew up with in La, he's complaining about
Speaker 9: illegal immigrants outbidding him for houses up here, and he's
Speaker 9: been trying for years, and he's got a great job.
Speaker 9: But he said that the banks will actually loan them money.
Speaker 1: George, did you happen to ask him who he voted for? No?
Speaker 9: I didn't, but that's the next time he makes it delivery,
Speaker 9: I'm going to get into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ask him, is he voting for the very same
Speaker 1: people who are causing him to have this kind of
Speaker 1: affordability problem. I just saw a study that said in
Speaker 1: the four years under Joe Biden, because of these millions
Speaker 1: and millions of illegal aliens came into the country, rent
Speaker 1: went up twenty percent and home prices went up thirty percent.
Speaker 1: So because of all these illegal aliens, the very same
Speaker 1: people who voted for it Joe Biden were experiencing higher
Speaker 1: cost living in renting and buying a home. Is this
Speaker 1: thing on and in La County, I'm not saying it's
Speaker 1: happening all over California. Rents have gone down in price.
Speaker 1: Why because so many illegal aliens have been either deported
Speaker 1: or in feared it have self deported, leaving all sorts
Speaker 1: of vacancy, vacancies that we didn't have before. What does
Speaker 1: that tell you? And then the very same people, the
Speaker 1: pull that lever for that party, will go BMW about affordability.
Speaker 1: It just drives you insane. And with their answer, of course,
Speaker 1: tax the rich, causing more and more rich people to
Speaker 1: leave California and states like New York and Illinois. Which
Speaker 1: is why even Gavin Newsom does not support the so
Speaker 1: called wealth tax that's going to be on the ballot
Speaker 1: here in California, and the polls show it is likely
Speaker 1: to pass. It is supposed to be a one time
Speaker 1: five percent tax on the net worth of billionaires, and
Speaker 1: believe me, it's not going to be one time, which
Speaker 1: will only increase the exodus of people like Elon Muski
Speaker 1: used to live here, Peter Till billionaire used to live here,
Speaker 1: and others who used to live here. And as I
Speaker 1: said earlier, the top one percent account for fifty percent
Speaker 1: of all the state income taxes here in California, which
Speaker 1: is a number one source of revenue. So all you're
Speaker 1: doing is chasing out the very same people that you
Speaker 1: rely on for all the goods and services and all
Speaker 1: the wellfare schemes that you want here in California. It's idiotic,
Speaker 1: it's insane. And what do we do well? The mayor
Speaker 1: of la who's already a left wing it's facing a
Speaker 1: very serious challenge from somebody who's even more left wing,
Speaker 1: a member of the Democrats, Sources of America and the
Speaker 1: opponent that Steve Hilton's running against, Javier Bassera. When asked
Speaker 1: what gray would he give Gavin Nusome on homelessness during
Speaker 1: the debate, he said to give him an a And
Speaker 1: what's his plan tax the rich? Even Bill Maher complained
Speaker 1: that he was paying. This was before the the wealth
Speaker 1: tax gets passed. Bill Maher is not a bill at
Speaker 1: least not yet, but he complained. Bill Maher did that
Speaker 1: he's paying sixty percent of his income in taxes because
Speaker 1: he doesn't have under an income. He has regular income
Speaker 1: like most people do. Sixty percent complained about it, and
Speaker 1: they want people like that to pay even more so,
Speaker 1: Tuesday was a really big day for people like Abdul
Speaker 1: l SII. We're going to talk about him, or talk
Speaker 1: more about the DSA and about the assertion that government
Speaker 1: can run private businesses better than private individuals can. Now,
Speaker 1: when it comes to supplements, two things matter most that
Speaker 1: it works, that you can trust it. Rather than just
Speaker 1: tell you about Relief Factor, we'll let our customers do it.
Speaker 1: We hear from people every single day whose lives have change.
Speaker 1: We'd like to hear you tell your story. Chris, for example,
Speaker 1: had spent years doing physical work, leaving its feet sore.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day. After starting relief Factor,
Speaker 1: he felt so good. He did something he hadn't done before.
Speaker 1: He ran a half marathon. Now he tells his friends
Speaker 1: about Relief Factor. I have back issues. I take relief
Speaker 1: Factor every single day. Now they make it easy to
Speaker 1: find out if you'll be the next person telling us
Speaker 1: relief Factor gave you your life back three weeks. Just
Speaker 1: seventeen dollars and seventy six cents. Just go to relieffactor
Speaker 1: dot com. Relief Factor dot com are called eight hundred
Speaker 1: four relief that's eight hundred four Relief. We'll connect to
Speaker 1: with our friendly local team and they will do everything
Speaker 1: they can to help. Relief Factor dot Com. Relief Factor
Speaker 1: dot Com eight hundred four Relief eight hundred to number
Speaker 1: four Relief.
Speaker 10: Hi, Larry, I have a really great idea. I don't
Speaker 10: think we should expand the Supreme Court. However, weren't it
Speaker 10: be fun just to say, like, hey, what a great idea.
Speaker 10: The Democrats are right, we should expand the Supreme Court,
Speaker 10: and then we should just be fun to see the reaction.
Speaker 10: Wouldn't it be just fun to see what they would do.
Speaker 10: React like, We're gonna expand it right now. Trump is
Speaker 10: going to expand it. Okay, have a good day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have such a wonderful idea. Let's expand it
Speaker 1: right now. Triple eight nine seven one s hGe Triple
Speaker 1: eight nine seven one seven two four to three. I
Speaker 1: am Larry Elder. We are saling the news channel, coming
Speaker 1: to you from the Relief Actor studio. Don't forget your
Speaker 1: Relief Factor eight hundred four Relief eight hundred and number
Speaker 1: four Relief. There is a lot I want to get
Speaker 1: to between now and the close of the program. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit more about the DSA, about socialism,
Speaker 1: and about the rise in these candidates like Abdul l
Speaker 1: Sid who is the Democrat candidate who won its primary
Speaker 1: by the way, he just barely wanted. I saw one
Speaker 1: poll the head of ahead of buy ten points. He
Speaker 1: won by looks like one percent, maybe a little under
Speaker 1: one percent. I didn't know that much about his rival candidate,
Speaker 1: but what I heard is that she was just a
Speaker 1: lousy campaigner, had no Christma, no spark, no nothing, and
Speaker 1: she almost won. The Republican Mike Rogers, who ran unopposed.
Speaker 1: One poll has him ahead by ten points. So it
Speaker 1: appears at least at this stage that Abdul l sayad
Speaker 1: victory rather than the other victory. The victory of his
Speaker 1: opponent named Stevens is better news for Republicans because he
Speaker 1: looks like he'll be easier to beat. In the state
Speaker 1: of Michigan, we'll see a former Medicaid official claims that
Speaker 1: states are not committing fraud? Are you serious? Not Minnesota,
Speaker 1: not California. Senator Kennedy was not amused, and the Democrats
Speaker 1: are not only refusing to denounce Hassan Piker, the DSA
Speaker 1: member who says that hamas is a thousand times better
Speaker 1: than Israel. I repeat, Hamas is a thousand times better
Speaker 1: than Israel. Not only are they not denouncing him, with
Speaker 1: the exception of John Felderman, they're embracing him, or they're
Speaker 1: scared to say anything. Take Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer used
Speaker 1: to say that the boycott divest sanction movement against Israel
Speaker 1: was anti Semitic. One of the big platform planks of
Speaker 1: the DSA is boycott, divest sanction from Israel. Schumer has
Speaker 1: not called Thorn Mamdani anti semitic. Also, the stock market
Speaker 1: record highs again today. A Reagan economist said that the
Speaker 1: economy national economy is doing great. A w NBA coach
Speaker 1: said trans women should be able to play in the
Speaker 1: w NBA, and we're gonna go down memory lane about
Speaker 1: the time the Great Olderby was fact checked by one
Speaker 1: of these left wing organizations. Talked about taxes paid by
Speaker 1: Americans in nineteen hundred versus taxes paid today, And a
Speaker 1: w NBA star named Angel Reese, who is black. So
Speaker 1: the reason it's important for her to be a role
Speaker 1: model is because there were no black dolls when she's
Speaker 1: a little girl. Really, we're gonna fact.
Speaker 11: Check that I'm Larry Elder, but let's get her teed
Speaker 11: up off to my.
Speaker 1: SUBDG.
Speaker 12: You can't succeed.
Speaker 5: With lt.
Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one s a g E triple
Speaker 1: eight nine seven one seven two four three. I am
Speaker 1: Larry Elder. We are Salem News Channel, coming to you
Speaker 1: from the Relief Factor Studio. Don't forget your Relief Factor
Speaker 1: eight hundred four Relief eight hundred the number four Relief.
Speaker 1: Continuing our discussion about the success the DSA candidates had
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night and about the growing number of Democrats
Speaker 1: who prefer socialism over capitalism, and it stems in large
Speaker 1: part because a lot of these politicians and people that
Speaker 1: are supporting them have never so much as run a
Speaker 1: hot dog stand. They have no idea how difficult it
Speaker 1: is to make a buck given the competition that is
Speaker 1: inherent in capitalism. We're talking about the very small margins
Speaker 1: out of all the revenues from these stores. The average
Speaker 1: profit margin is one to three percent of revenue. That's
Speaker 1: a small margin. You have excessive theft, you have excessive
Speaker 1: labor turnover, and generally speaking, labor is fifty percent or
Speaker 1: so of the cost of running any business, and there
Speaker 1: goes your profit margin. My father, who ran a small
Speaker 1: cafe near downtown in LA for something like thirty five years,
Speaker 1: was talking to my uncle, his brother in law, who
Speaker 1: was professor at a prominent university. And my uncle decided
Speaker 1: to start a restaurant near the university because he assumed
Speaker 1: that the kids were there. They wanted fast food, they
Speaker 1: wanted kind of food that my dad serves, and my
Speaker 1: uncle thought that he would open up a restaurant because
Speaker 1: of this almost captive audience. So he's talking to my
Speaker 1: father about it. My dad listened and answered a few questions,
Speaker 1: and then my uncle got up and left. My Dad
Speaker 1: said he's going to lose his shirt, and I said why.
Speaker 1: He says, he has no idea how difficult this is.
Speaker 1: He thinks he can just hire somebody not be involved
Speaker 1: in a hands on the way and it'll run well,
Speaker 1: he said, won't. My uncle got the restaurant and he
Speaker 1: had a great deal of difficulty running it, and eventually
Speaker 1: he had to sell it because he couldn't make a profit.
Speaker 1: I worked with my dad for years. The man got
Speaker 1: up at four and when I work with him on
Speaker 1: Saturdays and on summers. We then drove to a supply
Speaker 1: place where he got straws, He got this, he got that,
Speaker 1: and then we got there and my dad made biscuits,
Speaker 1: homemade biscuits. It was almost like a scientist. He had
Speaker 1: scales with little weights on them, put the sugar and
Speaker 1: the flour and this and then that. It was really
Speaker 1: intricate watching him set this up. Every place in this
Speaker 1: little when I say restaurant was really a diner, imagine
Speaker 1: an aluminum box and seats around it, and the grill
Speaker 1: right in the center, and every place had a purpose.
Speaker 1: Straw straws were here, dogs were here, Bacon was here.
Speaker 1: My dad initially had salt shakers, but people would steal
Speaker 1: the salt shakers, so he put little salt pack packets.
Speaker 1: Same thing with jam. People would often steal the little
Speaker 1: glass cups. My dad would now then little packets. Everything
Speaker 1: changed over the years. He would always look for ways
Speaker 1: of improving, saving money, being more efficient. And he opened
Speaker 1: at six thirty, not six thirty one, not six twenty nine,
Speaker 1: at six thirty on the dot, closed at two thirty,
Speaker 1: not two thirty one, not two twenty nine, two thirty
Speaker 1: on the dot, And don't let a fly get into
Speaker 1: the restaurant. It was all hands on deck to get
Speaker 1: rid of the fly because he did not want the
Speaker 1: fly to be past during the customers. And the food
Speaker 1: was wonderful. He baked his own pies, cherry pie, pecan pie,
Speaker 1: sweep per table pie. He baked his own cakes, cherry cake,
Speaker 1: German chocolate cake, and they were wonderful. And it was
Speaker 1: in a lousy location. It allows you, I mean in
Speaker 1: a residential area because we lived in the house where
Speaker 1: the restaurant was. My dad tore down the house because
Speaker 1: it was zoned for light industry, so you could build
Speaker 1: a restaurant there. But because there was no real traffic
Speaker 1: on either side, you had to know about the restaurant
Speaker 1: to go there, so it's all word of mouth. You
Speaker 1: couldn't drive by on busy street and see the restaurant.
Speaker 1: It's pull over, which is why you see most restaurants
Speaker 1: in busy streets because a lot of the traffic it's
Speaker 1: people look up, see the sign. They pulled in. It
Speaker 1: was a loudly look at location. Always lousy location. Because
Speaker 1: the food was so good During rush hour, which between
Speaker 1: eleven thirty and one was standing room only, and people
Speaker 1: would be calling on the phone to order things. They
Speaker 1: could pick up. It's a very popular restaurant, and my
Speaker 1: dad retired. He was eighty two when he retired, and
Speaker 1: so he wanted to sell it, and I had a
Speaker 1: legal work, so he got a lawyer for free, and
Speaker 1: I said, Dad, don't think that whoever you sell this
Speaker 1: to will be able to run this restaurant profitably. He
Speaker 1: said why, I said, no one's going to put the care, tender,
Speaker 1: loving care that you put into this. No one will.
Speaker 1: My dad worked five and a half days and then
Speaker 1: on Sundays he came in and did stuff that he
Speaker 1: wouldn't couldn't do during the week. I said, no one
Speaker 1: is going to put this kind of time. That's kind
Speaker 1: of care, it's kind of attention to detail that you've done.
Speaker 1: And so we sold it to a nonprofit organization that
Speaker 1: wanted to run the restaurant so that people who were
Speaker 1: how can I put it, delinquents or had just gotten
Speaker 1: out of prison would have somewhere they could learn how
Speaker 1: to do a trade. And so I made sure in
Speaker 1: the agreement that if the restaurant failed and they couldn't
Speaker 1: pay their balanced, we got it back. Because I knew
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to run, I said, Dad, it's going
Speaker 1: to last maybe maybe two months. It lasted a month.
Speaker 1: My father used to tell me, you serve somebody a
Speaker 1: wonderful meal, and they'll tell five people. You serve somebody
Speaker 1: allows a meal, they'll tell twenty five people. So it
Speaker 1: wasn't long before they began serving meals. It did not
Speaker 1: come close to the quality of my father's and it
Speaker 1: didn't take long. So we took it back and we
Speaker 1: sold it again, this time to somebody who wasn't using
Speaker 1: the building to run the restaurant, but using the building
Speaker 1: to run something else. The building is still there. My
Speaker 1: father had retired and after a few years, I said, Dad,
Speaker 1: you want to go down to the restaurant just say
Speaker 1: hello to the people around there. And he said okay.
Speaker 1: So we drove and I said, Dad, you want to
Speaker 1: get out of the car. He said, no, you just
Speaker 1: go in and say hello. So I went in and
Speaker 1: the guy running the place, he was used to repair
Speaker 1: appliances like refrigerators and stoves, things like that. So I
Speaker 1: walked in and I said, I'm randof eldest son. He
Speaker 1: goes your Randy son.
Speaker 5: Is he here?
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, he's out in the outside in the car.
Speaker 1: So he came out, neighbors came out, and they treated
Speaker 1: him like he was a rock star, which coming back
Speaker 1: to give up performance, by the way. My dad owned
Speaker 1: the restaurant property and then a property next to it
Speaker 1: where he rented it out to a woman who was
Speaker 1: still living there with her family. And it was in
Speaker 1: an area called Pico Union, which was and is heavily
Speaker 1: Hispanic and became very, very gang oriented. And even though
Speaker 1: the neighborhood had changed and more and more people were
Speaker 1: members of gangs, my father was never robbed. A couple
Speaker 1: of times people broke in when the restaurant was closed
Speaker 1: at night, but my father was never robbed at gunpoint.
Speaker 1: No one ever came in and held him up ever.
Speaker 1: And while there was some graffiti painted on the building
Speaker 1: from time to time, not very much. My father gave
Speaker 1: these kids in the neighborhood free ice cream, and they
Speaker 1: would be lining up on hot days for ice cream cones,
Speaker 1: and I'd be out there scooping up become my dad
Speaker 1: told me to And I asked my dad why he
Speaker 1: did that. He said, well, because I when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, I had no money whatsoever, and on hot
Speaker 1: days I would have loved for somebody to have given
Speaker 1: me an ice cream cone. So these kids loved my grandfather,
Speaker 1: my father, so over the years the kids have grown up,
Speaker 1: some of them became gang members, but they made sure
Speaker 1: nobody messed with my dad. My father would leave the
Speaker 1: restaurant every night with over a thousand dollars in cash,
Speaker 1: and there'd be two people sitting on his car, kind
Speaker 1: of unsavory looking people, if they can put it that way.
Speaker 1: My dad would hand one of them the money. My
Speaker 1: dad would take his keys, open the trunk, the guy
Speaker 1: would hand my dad back the money. My dad would
Speaker 1: put it in the trunk and he would drive off
Speaker 1: if wanted to make sure nobody mess with him. My
Speaker 1: point is, this is what it takes to run a
Speaker 1: business successfully. And people that are professors or read a
Speaker 1: book in college never really had a real job like
Speaker 1: mom and Dommy although he was a rapper, they have
Speaker 1: no idea what it takes to run a business. And
Speaker 1: to sit there and just say that people are paying
Speaker 1: too much when the profit margins are that thin because
Speaker 1: of all the competitions, shows that you were absolutely clueless
Speaker 1: about how to run a business. And you're going to
Speaker 1: tell health care how it should be run grocery stores
Speaker 1: how they be run. It's absolutely insulting to people that
Speaker 1: bust their butt. And if you're going to make a profit,
Speaker 1: you're not working forty hours, You're working sixty eighty sometimes
Speaker 1: one hundred hours a week. Now when it comes to supplements,
Speaker 1: two things matter most that it works, that you can
Speaker 1: trust it. Rather than just tell you about relief Factor,
Speaker 1: we let our customers do it. We hear from people
Speaker 1: every single day whose lives have changed, and we'd like
Speaker 1: you to hear a few of their stories. Jim ran
Speaker 1: out of relief Factor twice. Both times his aches, stiffness,
Speaker 1: and pain came back. Once he restarted it, he said
Speaker 1: he felt better again. As Jim puts it, you know
Speaker 1: something's working when you run out of it. I know
Speaker 1: the feeling on vacation. I've forgotten my relief Factor. I
Speaker 1: won't do that again. Now they make it easy to
Speaker 1: find out if you'll be the next person telling us
Speaker 1: relief Factor helped you tackle your daily aches and pain
Speaker 1: three weeks for just seventeen dollars and seventy six cents,
Speaker 1: just gote a Reliefactor dot com. Reliefactor dot com or
Speaker 1: call eight hundred four relief that's eight hundred the number
Speaker 1: four relief Triple eight nine seventy one S Triple eight
Speaker 1: nine seventy one three. I am Larry Elder. We are
Speaker 1: a Salem news channel on the side. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for the feedback a number of your calling reacting
Speaker 1: to what I said about my father. I could go
Speaker 1: on and on and on, but I but I won't. Now.
Speaker 1: Regarding these DSA people who've been winning these elections, keep
Speaker 1: in mind on their platform, as I said earlier, they
Speaker 1: support boycott the devest sanction against Israel that Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: called anti Semitic. They refer to Israel as an apartheid state,
Speaker 1: that Israel is committing genocide. They want to get rid
Speaker 1: of the Senate. They want to expand the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: They want the presidency to be elected by the House,
Speaker 1: defund the police, get rid of ICE. I think they
Speaker 1: want to want a thirty two hour work week with
Speaker 1: no reduction of course in pay, so you're forcing your
Speaker 1: employers to pay you more for less work because essentially,
Speaker 1: if that's what you'll be doing, and eventually several of
Speaker 1: them support communism. Dar Lisa no no see A Weaver,
Speaker 1: the tenant director for Toron Mom, Dammy once tweeted elect
Speaker 1: more communists. So several of them will tell you that
Speaker 1: the end game is, of course communism, which of course
Speaker 1: is the seizure of private property. So Pierce Morgan had
Speaker 1: a supporter of all this stuff, Bernie Sanders Express Express Secretary,
Speaker 1: and ticked off all these things they want to abolish,
Speaker 1: including the Pentagon prisons. So here's what happened, number forty six.
Speaker 13: It's very interesting your interpretation of what defund means, as
Speaker 13: Joe Walsh rightly says, the actual interpretation of defund the
Speaker 13: police or defund the Pentagon or whatever it may be,
Speaker 13: is you get rid of that institution and you replace
Speaker 13: it for something else.
Speaker 4: What you're talking what you will?
Speaker 13: Wait a minute in that way, Wait a minute, Wait
Speaker 13: a minute. So I'm asking you whether you mean a
Speaker 13: decrease in the amount that you fund these organizations with
Speaker 13: or do you believe in abolishing them? Would you abolish
Speaker 13: the police, would you abolish the Pentagon?
Speaker 4: Would you abolish prisons? Yes? No, yes, no yes.
Speaker 14: If you let me Brown enjoy great things, you can
Speaker 14: come on my show and you can debate my views
Speaker 14: at length. But I think what the viewers want.
Speaker 4: To answer my questions.
Speaker 1: That's why you're here.
Speaker 14: No, why were you DSA candidates and people who are
Speaker 14: running for office, not one forty old woman sitting in
Speaker 14: her apartment in Washington, d C. So what do you
Speaker 14: want to talk about? What the movements to defund the
Speaker 14: pentic on or about?
Speaker 4: Can you questions? Please wait?
Speaker 14: It's about It's about asking the question of whether or
Speaker 14: not we should continuously increase funding an unprecedent.
Speaker 12: Budget.
Speaker 4: It's not you're after defund me.
Speaker 14: That literally fails its audience and can't even account for
Speaker 14: where the money.
Speaker 6: Is going should be funded more.
Speaker 13: I'm money for defund means you abolish it.
Speaker 4: Let me try one more time. Let me try one
Speaker 4: more time.
Speaker 13: Given you don't know what defund actually means, I know
Speaker 13: what it means than you do.
Speaker 14: Peers, as evidenced by the fact that you chose to
Speaker 14: put it to abolish, because you can discern a distinct
Speaker 14: difference between those two terms defunding just like when when
Speaker 14: when when you Republicans said they want to defund the
Speaker 14: Department of Education, They want to.
Speaker 12: Defund things day and night. The whole point of DOGE.
Speaker 14: Was to defund the national government. And again I don't
Speaker 14: see all the handwriting about that the Pentagon. No one
Speaker 14: here can answer the direct question of whether they believe
Speaker 14: the Pentagon, which has an unprecedentedly large budget that cannot
Speaker 14: has an audit for nine years in a row.
Speaker 12: Okay, should get.
Speaker 4: Let me try, Let me try.
Speaker 12: Do you think that's the case? Joke?
Speaker 4: Oka, Brianna, Brianna, Brianna Brianna.
Speaker 13: Once again, it's my show, So I do the questions
Speaker 13: and then you answer them or you choose not to.
Speaker 13: I'm just going to repeat again whatever your interpretation of
Speaker 13: defund is, and you clearly have a different one to mine.
Speaker 4: In Joe's Okay, debate for one.
Speaker 13: Moment, Well, it actually means to stop providing money, or
Speaker 13: it can mean to reduce the amount of money.
Speaker 12: So it depends.
Speaker 4: But as you know, but as.
Speaker 13: You know, but as you know, in the general debate
Speaker 13: about this, it's been accepted that when people have said defund,
Speaker 13: they mean abolished. So let me just clarify with you
Speaker 13: what you personally believe. Would you in your utopia world,
Speaker 13: would you abolish the Pentagon, abolish the police, and abolish prisons.
Speaker 4: Yes or no?
Speaker 14: Here's this While that you talk about the general debate
Speaker 14: about this when you're the one hosting the debate and
Speaker 14: the question by posing questions, and so the questions, would
Speaker 14: you abolish rid up entirely?
Speaker 12: That is a clear answer to your question.
Speaker 14: Defund means decrease funding. Would you abolish means abolish entirely.
Speaker 12: Period.
Speaker 13: I'm asking you if you would abolish them? Would you
Speaker 13: abolish pair?
Speaker 14: Would I personally, Brianna Joy Gray, I know why you
Speaker 14: care because you're a guest on my show, because you
Speaker 14: want to make this a conversation about whatever I am.
Speaker 12: To the left way.
Speaker 4: I just want to know what you think.
Speaker 13: Why is this so difficultiating this is.
Speaker 14: A referendum on the actual dsay and the candidates.
Speaker 13: Brianna, Brianna, Brianna, Brianna, you were invited as a guest
Speaker 13: onto a panel to debate the future of the Democratic
Speaker 13: Party in lights of the rise of a democratic debate
Speaker 13: that I am.
Speaker 12: Asking you believe Democratic parton.
Speaker 13: Given that the Democratic given that are going to keep
Speaker 13: talking over you if you keep talking, given the Democratic
Speaker 13: Socialist came.
Speaker 4: Back a spouse espouse.
Speaker 13: A philosophy where they want to abolish all these institutions.
Speaker 13: I'm just asking you, Brianna, whether you personally would like
Speaker 13: to abolish the Pentagon, the police and prisons, yes or no?
Speaker 14: I Brianna think it's Brianna with a with a our sound.
Speaker 14: I think it's absolutely unconscionable. But you can say a
Speaker 14: kind of neely mouth yeah, I think. I think it
Speaker 14: was really much murdered American citizens in the street. But
Speaker 14: want to make this reference whether I one socialist? Yes
Speaker 14: or abolishing those programs?
Speaker 12: Yes, so long term goal. I just answered the question yes,
Speaker 12: so long the long term yes or no answer.
Speaker 14: Is affirmatively yes, yes, absolutely me Brianna went great, since
Speaker 14: the world is clamoring from my one woman's opinion.
Speaker 12: Absolutely do believe abolish the police.
Speaker 14: Abolish the Senate, abolish the Pentodon. I do not think
Speaker 14: the American war machine, which has caused unfathomable horrors across
Speaker 14: the globe for the entirety of all of our living memory,
Speaker 14: should persist.
Speaker 12: Got it, We've goton. We got it. I think the police,
Speaker 12: we got it.
Speaker 8: We got it.
Speaker 4: We got you on the record, we got it.
Speaker 12: We got it.
Speaker 4: It's okay, sorry, Brianna, just be clear you've agreed you
Speaker 4: would abolish thing.
Speaker 13: Wait a minute, Brianna, please stop talking you would abolish
Speaker 13: the pentagon on the police, and say what about prisons?
Speaker 4: Would you abolish prison?
Speaker 14: They're first on the list, just like the DSA.
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, let me go to all of it.
Speaker 13: No, it's all right, we've done, we're done.
Speaker 4: We're done.
Speaker 1: So she's on the record abolished the pentagon, call us
Speaker 1: the police, and abolished prisons. A ds A National Committee
Speaker 1: member refuse to answer the question whether non citizens who
Speaker 1: kill or rape should be deported. Stick around for that.
Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one s E g E. Triple
Speaker 1: eight nine seven one seven two four three Triple eight
Speaker 1: ninety seven one s A g E. Triple eight nine
Speaker 1: seven one seven two four to three. I am larryol
Speaker 1: Do we are Salem NewsChannel. This is a ds A
Speaker 1: National Political Committee member ask civil questions. Want to abolish ice?
Speaker 1: Do you believe that non citizens who kill or rape
Speaker 1: should be deport.
Speaker 15: Eight The vast majority of calls that go into the
Speaker 15: police are not about violent crime. They're not about dangerous
Speaker 15: situations where people would want protection from police. One thing
Speaker 15: that we can see is that when we expand unarmed
Speaker 15: crisis response, like we've done in Los Angeles, we decrease
Speaker 15: the costs that we're spending on police and policing in
Speaker 15: the city, and we improve the outcomes and we get
Speaker 15: people who are suffering from you know, severe mental illness
Speaker 15: or you know what, have you act the actual help
Speaker 15: that they need. So I think there are way better
Speaker 15: ways to.
Speaker 16: Makes Do you think killers should go to prison? Francis,
Speaker 16: do you think killers should go to prisson? Rape if
Speaker 16: should go to pression? Especially you know non citizens should
Speaker 16: non citizens that are kill or rape should they be deported?
Speaker 15: I mean, you know who I think should go to
Speaker 15: prison or the people who are protecting the Jeffrey Epstein
Speaker 15: and people who are.
Speaker 16: Just aswer the question, do you think people should go
Speaker 16: to prison for being murderers? This is so simple you
Speaker 16: could just say yes, I mean you people should go to.
Speaker 15: Jail they kills from the billionaires who are stealing.
Speaker 5: Of course I relieved.
Speaker 17: So like Americans, you're not answering the question, Francis, she
Speaker 17: cannot say say yeah.
Speaker 18: So.
Speaker 1: You won't say whether a non citizen who kills or
Speaker 1: rape should be deported. Well, I think that the Epstein file, well,
Speaker 1: I think billionaires who cheat well, I think Bernie Sanders says,
Speaker 1: people like Hassan Piker keep in mind, not only, of
Speaker 1: course he's he supporting boycott, divest, sanction against Israel. Not
Speaker 1: only he's calling Israel apartheid state. Not only easy accusing
Speaker 1: Israel of committing genocide, he also said that Hamas is
Speaker 1: a thousand times better than Israel and Hassan Piker said
Speaker 1: America deserved nine to eleven apart from that number thirty.
Speaker 19: Five supporting an extremist Net and Yahoo government that many
Speaker 19: must believe have committed genocide. Do you want to be
Speaker 19: in a party with people who do that? Do you
Speaker 19: want to be in a party which has not stood
Speaker 19: up to the AI industry because they got a lot
Speaker 19: of money from AI or from crypto? So you could pick,
Speaker 19: you know, you can pick whatever you want to pick.
Speaker 19: But I think we need a big tent, and I
Speaker 19: think people like Pika I should be welcome into that. Certainly.
Speaker 1: What about when Piker said that America deserved nine to
Speaker 1: eleven Bernie number thirty six?
Speaker 20: Are you comfortable with Outside'd having a close association with
Speaker 20: him given some of his past statements. To give you
Speaker 20: an example, one of them more controversial ones is that
Speaker 20: Piker has said America deserved nine to eleven. Are you
Speaker 20: comfortable with that association?
Speaker 8: No, I am not.
Speaker 4: I think that's a dumb statement.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, he has a whole lot.
Speaker 19: Of followers, and there's a lot of things that he's
Speaker 19: saying that are making sense to.
Speaker 1: A lot of people.
Speaker 19: I think, you know, we have to get above cancel culture.
Speaker 19: You know, when you're doing radio whatever they do, podcasts
Speaker 19: three hours a day, you say dumb. I suspect if
Speaker 19: you go dot over your Korea there may be one
Speaker 19: or two things that you said that you may have regretted.
Speaker 19: But I think what we have got to do is
Speaker 19: look at the totality of where people are coming from
Speaker 19: and go we have.
Speaker 1: To get rid of cancel culture. But Donald Trump's the fascist,
Speaker 1: but that's not part of getting rid of cancel culture.
Speaker 1: Abdul l said, who won his primary again by one point,
Speaker 1: was asked whether he regrets having campaigned with Hassan Piker,
Speaker 1: the guy that said all the things I've said, including
Speaker 1: Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel. Here's what
Speaker 1: abdu el Sayed said, Number thirty nine. You know there's
Speaker 1: one other guy that you've campaigned with who's raised eyebrows.
Speaker 1: Hassan Piker.
Speaker 21: His eyebrows went up.
Speaker 1: Yes, I said, raised, dis I raised my eyebrows.
Speaker 3: Was campaigning with him A good idea.
Speaker 22: Look, I want to reach out to his viewers. He
Speaker 22: has a three million person platform. And there are things
Speaker 22: that Hassan and I disagree with if you watched any
Speaker 22: of our content together, and there are things.
Speaker 1: That he and I agree with.
Speaker 22: The question of whether or not we should be guaranteeing
Speaker 22: people healthcare or sending our money abroad to drop bombs
Speaker 22: on other people, we agree. I think we should be
Speaker 22: providing health care here. On the question of taking on
Speaker 22: the fascism of the Trump administration, we agree we should
Speaker 22: probably take that on.
Speaker 1: Van Jones of CNN said that Alpsaid's abdul al SAIDs
Speaker 1: victory shows Muslim kids they can they can be anything
Speaker 1: they want to be in America.
Speaker 23: This is.
Speaker 1: Number thirty seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 24: I just wanted to oat to echo that if you
Speaker 24: are a young Muslim kid or an Arab kid, look
Speaker 24: at these numbers. Look at these numbers right next to us.
Speaker 24: You can do anything you want to in this country.
Speaker 24: We need you, we love you. If you are if
Speaker 24: you're a parent with tears in your eyes tonight I
Speaker 24: get it. We can talk about as a congressance said
Speaker 24: the politics later is his tree to night and God
Speaker 24: bless you.
Speaker 1: Would you have said that if Abdul l si Ed
Speaker 1: was a conservative who believed in mass deportation, who believed
Speaker 1: in lowering taxes, who believed in secure borders, who believed
Speaker 1: in the Save Act, well, the fact that he won
Speaker 1: the primary shows young Kendy be anything they want to
Speaker 1: be in America now. Whether you're preparing for exams, juggling

Speaker 1: are saleing News Channel. Nancy is in Philadelphia. Nancy. Always
Speaker 1: nice to hear from you.
Speaker 21: Hello, Larry, Hey, Nancy, can you hear me?
Speaker 12: I hear you? Fine, Listen.
Speaker 21: My comment might be a little bit out of sync
Speaker 21: because when your show is being aired live, that's not
Speaker 21: when we're hearing it on the East Coast, so it
Speaker 21: may be a little bit behind time. In any event,
Speaker 21: what I last heard you say was about Mandami and
Speaker 21: the bodegos, right, and obviously he wants to put them
Speaker 21: all out of busines because they're not pall off stores.
Speaker 25: Okay.
Speaker 21: And in addition, let's drive all the people who own
Speaker 21: a property that could be arguably worth a million dollars
Speaker 21: or more, which means nothing in New York City. Okay,
Speaker 21: Let's drive them all out too, so we can take
Speaker 21: over their properties. And this is a way to turn
Speaker 21: New York City into the Califate like London. Okay, And
Speaker 21: by the way, my personal belief is that everything that's
Speaker 21: happening right now is so that Hillary Clinton can step
Speaker 21: forward with all the money she'll get from Alex Soros,
Speaker 21: who's married to her second daughter, Huma Aberdeen, and she
Speaker 21: can step forward and say I'm the moderate Democrat. You know,
Speaker 21: you Republicans, you know, and you Trump supporters who don't
Speaker 21: like Trump and Donald Trump's a bad guy, and all
Speaker 21: you Democrats who don't like the crazies on the left.
Speaker 21: Now you can all vote for me, especially women. All
Speaker 21: the women should vote for Hillary because she'll never give
Speaker 21: up her dream of being president of the United States. No,
Speaker 21: hell has no fury like a Hilary scorn.
Speaker 1: Well, Nancy, thank you for calling. I do not doubt
Speaker 1: that Hillary would love to try it again. There's no
Speaker 1: way this version of the Democratic Party which supports her,
Speaker 1: she's not left wing enough, she is not crazy enough.
Speaker 1: She has said too many things about being a capitalist,
Speaker 1: so no, there's no way. Plus she's lost already and
Speaker 1: they want quote unquote fresh blood. The damage done to
Speaker 1: New York City, though I agree with you, it's going
Speaker 1: to be severe, and as I mentioned, the organization of
Speaker 1: bodega owners Asian, Latino, Jewish, Black, Hispanic or filing a
Speaker 1: lawsuit to try to stop this. Don't know whether they're
Speaker 1: going to be successful, but these are the people that
Speaker 1: people like bomb DOMI purport to care about quote unquote
Speaker 1: people of color, except for Jews. So it's really going
Speaker 1: to be interesting to find out how the media covers this.
Speaker 1: I talk about the fact that they're not paying rent,
Speaker 1: not paying taxes, getting their goods at a quote unquote
Speaker 1: discount because the government is paying for them, so that
Speaker 1: the people buying them can get him at thirty percent less,
Speaker 1: which means it's going to be a black market. And
Speaker 1: we'll find out how vigorously the New York Times and
Speaker 1: the others will be covering this, because it's going to
Speaker 1: be a disaster. Now. Michael Moore said he will get
Speaker 1: on his knees and beg for socialists to take off
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. I forget Michael Morris net worth, but
Speaker 1: I think it's well over twenty million dollars. It's got
Speaker 1: a bunch of different houses. Number forty eight.
Speaker 14: Does there require a change in the establishment and in
Speaker 14: the way things are done, and to effectuate the changes.
Speaker 20: You want to see.
Speaker 1: If I could get on my knees and beg it
Speaker 1: would be for exactly what you just said, because we
Speaker 1: are not going to win the other way. We lost
Speaker 1: that way in twenty four. It's not going to happen
Speaker 1: if we allow this to happen.
Speaker 5: We are in charge of this and we need to
Speaker 5: get busy.
Speaker 1: Right now. Kid looking very good. Isy looks a little haggard.
Speaker 1: What is it with people like that? In James Carpon Now,
Speaker 1: following up on what Nancy said about the Ultimate Endgame,
Speaker 1: this is what Ted Cruz said about the alliance between
Speaker 1: the Muslim Brotherhood and the DSA Number forty nine.
Speaker 26: Does the Muslim Brotherhood also partner with political groups such
Speaker 26: as the Democratic Socialists.
Speaker 5: Of America, Yes, sure they do.
Speaker 26: Would you agree that this alliance between the Muslim Brotherhood
Speaker 26: and the DSSA, otherwise known as the Red Green Alliance,
Speaker 26: is based on a shared hatred of America, Israel, Western civilization,
Speaker 26: writ large, capitalism, and democracy.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I would, and I would go further as
Speaker 5: to say it's also united around a revolutionary objective advocating
Speaker 5: for the overthrow of the US Constitution. Let's Claypuck let's
Speaker 5: move to you.
Speaker 1: Debbie Dingle, who succeeded from her husband, Representative Dingle, who
Speaker 1: died Michigan, says, it's certain parts of the abdul Sayah
Speaker 1: platform that I don't support, but you know, we're in
Speaker 1: big ten forty three.
Speaker 27: Just in the last month, Sayed has said Israel should
Speaker 27: not exist as a Jewish state.
Speaker 1: I've known you, I've known you a long time. Can
Speaker 1: you support that? And if so, how.
Speaker 23: No, I categorically won't support that is has a right
Speaker 23: to exist.
Speaker 1: Then how.
Speaker 4: Him?
Speaker 25: If he is the candidate in November, Bill, I'm going.
Speaker 28: To be very blunt.
Speaker 23: There's going to be a lot of things that I
Speaker 23: don't agree with Mike projects on either.
Speaker 29: And I have.
Speaker 23: Told I have told him Bill exactly what I think.
Speaker 23: He then, you know, says well this, this or this,
Speaker 23: I'm going to get him on record.
Speaker 1: So somebody who says Israel should not exist in its
Speaker 1: present constitution, Israel is apartheid state, Israel's committing genocide Hamas
Speaker 1: is a thousand times better than Israel is better because
Speaker 1: well Trump, anything is better than Trump, guy who had
Speaker 1: a Nazi tattoo on his chest. Until the allegations from
Speaker 1: other women is better than Trump. A candidate who has
Speaker 1: tweeted her hostility towards interracial couples. I'm referring to dar
Speaker 1: Lisa Avila Chevalier is better than Trump. Candidates who want
Speaker 1: to abolish ice, abolished the police, a bollished the Pentagon,
Speaker 1: get read of the Senate. Well, it's still better than Trump. Now,
Speaker 1: thousands of places on the Internet have a file with
Speaker 1: your name on it, your home address, your cell number,
Speaker 1: your email address, there's more, your medical conditions, your age,
Speaker 1: how you vote, your kids' names. You can't read that file,
Speaker 1: but anybody with a credit card can buy it. That
Speaker 1: file is a product of a multi billion dollar industry
Speaker 1: called data brokers. Your file is collected, packaged, and sold legally.
Speaker 1: Every scam called every fishing text that knows too much
Speaker 1: about you, Well, someone paid for your file. Last year,
Speaker 1: Americans lost a record twenty billion dollars plus. Defraud scammers
Speaker 1: didn't get lucky, they got repared. I did something about
Speaker 1: my file. I use in Cogni, and Cogniti goes broker
Speaker 1: by broker and forces each one to delete your file.
Speaker 1: That opt out formed that they bury and Cogni finds
Speaker 1: them and when your data tried to creep back and
Speaker 1: Cogny wipes it again. Go to in coggia dot com
Speaker 1: slash Larry right now for sixty percent off. That's I
Speaker 1: n COO g n I dot com slash Larry. In
Speaker 1: Coggi dot com slash Larry, take your private life off
Speaker 1: the market in Coggi dot com slash Larry, I n
Speaker 1: cog ni dot com slash Larry coming up. Elder was
Speaker 1: fact checked once on what I said about government spending?
Speaker 1: Was I wrong? Triple A nineteen seven one sage do
Speaker 1: not leave down, Come on trible eight nine seven one
Speaker 1: s A g E triple eight nine seven one seven
Speaker 1: two four three. I am Larry Oda, we are a
Speaker 1: Saleom news channel. I was fact checked once by one
Speaker 1: of these left wing fact check organizations. I want to
Speaker 1: revisit that w NBA star Angel Reese, who happened to
Speaker 1: be black, said there were no black dolls when she
Speaker 1: was a little girl. She was born in two thousand
Speaker 1: and two. There were no black dolls before then. Just
Speaker 1: do a little fact check on that, and stock market
Speaker 1: hit record highs again. Today. A Reagan economist says a
Speaker 1: national economy is doing great. John Stewart interviewed John Fetterman
Speaker 1: and accused John Fetterman of somehow ignoring the fact that
Speaker 1: these left wing candidates and he have a whole lot
Speaker 1: in common, but his problem is their attitude towards Israel.
Speaker 1: Was John Stewart thinks it's a weird line to draw
Speaker 1: number thirty two.
Speaker 27: So for you, you could agree with them ninety percent,
Speaker 27: but Israel is the red line.
Speaker 30: Absolutely Israel for me, like, I can't ever turn my
Speaker 30: back to Israel after where it's at.
Speaker 27: And I mean no disrespect on this, but that is
Speaker 27: not our country. You're saying that these candidates may have
Speaker 27: great ideas for our economy. They may want to do
Speaker 27: the exact same thing you want to do in terms
Speaker 27: of getting money out of politics. They may want to
Speaker 27: increase the social safety net, they may want to change
Speaker 27: the balance of power from capital back to labor. But
Speaker 27: if they don't agree with you on Israel, you don't
Speaker 27: want them in your party.
Speaker 30: Well, I don't know who you're referencing too specifically.
Speaker 27: No, I'm referencing what you just said name so in
Speaker 27: other words, say Ed or AOC or Bernie. Say I
Speaker 27: assume you agree with a lot of what they say.
Speaker 5: Economically.
Speaker 30: And what I'm saying is like, if you are a
Speaker 30: DSA member, if you are a member of a specific
Speaker 30: political party, run under your own banner. And now I
Speaker 30: think Bill Maher said something very insightfully said, you know,
Speaker 30: the DSA are colonizing, colonizing the Democratic Party, So just
Speaker 30: be Democrats. If you're going to run under the Democratic
Speaker 30: Party for that, why have a DSA party for overall?
Speaker 1: So run on that.
Speaker 27: And you all understand, it's just an organization. It's not
Speaker 27: what we have a two party system. We don't. It's
Speaker 27: like the Freedom Caucus in the Republican Party. There are
Speaker 27: you know, there's Randy Fine and Ogliss and all these
Speaker 27: nutbags that are also part of an area and Republicans
Speaker 27: I'm sure may not agree with all of them on
Speaker 27: all kinds of things, but there is no other party.
Speaker 27: I guess you could, you could try it. But my
Speaker 27: point is, if you don't disagree with them on a
Speaker 27: lot of things, why not use some of that energy.
Speaker 27: And even like Mamdanie in New York is DSA, But
Speaker 27: there are things in the DSA platform that he disagrees with,
Speaker 27: and I'm assuming there's probably things in the Democratic platform
Speaker 27: that you might disagree with, but you don't disavow the
Speaker 27: entire thing. You're literally saying, it's all We can all
Speaker 27: have discussions except when it comes to Israel.
Speaker 1: When we come back. Elder fact checked on government spending.
Speaker 1: Don't go away, but let's get her teed up.
Speaker 20: The subdig You can't succeed with LT.
Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one s A g E. Triple
Speaker 1: eight nine seven one seven two four to three. I
Speaker 1: am Larry Older. We are a Stalem NewsChannel. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: replay an interview had with a couple of fact checkers
Speaker 1: who fact checked me one time instead that I was
Speaker 1: wrong when in fact I wasn't. And we're also going
Speaker 1: to talk about the assertion by a former Medicare executive
Speaker 1: official who says States aren't really ripping off Medicare healthcare.
Speaker 1: There's no Medicaid, Medicare Medicare fraud. I don't I knowled
Speaker 1: You're talking about all of this and more. Trump took
Speaker 1: the media to task for failing to talk about the
Speaker 1: consequences of socialism. Number thirty four.
Speaker 31: I think, sir, that the Republican Party is hitting home
Speaker 31: the facts that these people literally want to open up
Speaker 31: the prisons.
Speaker 4: They want to uh.
Speaker 31: Private They literally want to get rid of private insurance.
Speaker 31: They want Medicare for all, which means private insurance for none.
Speaker 31: Are they hammering that home so people get an idea
Speaker 31: of how radical these agendas are.
Speaker 25: Well, outside of you and people that happen to be
Speaker 25: in Fox and a few others, they.
Speaker 5: Don't talk about it. Really.
Speaker 25: They don't. You turn on NBC Fake News, or ABC,
Speaker 25: which is the worst of all, or CBS, CNN, any
Speaker 25: of them, they don't talk about that. They talk about
Speaker 25: as positive as you can talk, which isn't easy to do,
Speaker 25: but they don't talk about the consequences because it's all
Speaker 25: about the consequences.
Speaker 1: And a guy like this is just.
Speaker 25: Look at his views and then they change the views.
Speaker 1: For the election.
Speaker 25: Now they're actually having to go a little bit right,
Speaker 25: which is very hard for them to do. But it's
Speaker 25: a very sad thing when you look at it. And
Speaker 25: as far as the Republicans look, the Republicans talk about it.
Speaker 25: It's not put on. But they've got to get tougher.
Speaker 25: They've got to talk, and they've got to talk about
Speaker 25: how well we're doing. I watched Laura before and she
Speaker 25: was saying this is the most increased. She's giving the numbers,
Speaker 25: the financial numbers of the trade numbers that just came
Speaker 25: out today. Our trade deficit is way down. There's never
Speaker 25: been anything. It's never gone down in history like it
Speaker 25: has during this a little bit more than a year.
Speaker 5: Think of that.
Speaker 25: And she was going over just point after point, I'm saying,
Speaker 25: how many people report this?
Speaker 5: People don't know.
Speaker 1: Then in the.
Speaker 25: Economy, Trump is at forty two percent.
Speaker 5: I shouldn't before. We have the.
Speaker 25: Greatest economy maybe in the history of the world for
Speaker 25: any country. You have nineteen point two trillion dollars being
Speaker 25: invested in the United States. And if I wouldn't have won,
Speaker 25: you would have had ten trillion being taken out of
Speaker 25: the United States and your welfare would have doubled and tripled.
Speaker 25: Then we would have had a bankrupt.
Speaker 1: Now. Art Laugher is the inventor of the Laugher curve,
Speaker 1: which argues that you lower taxes and you end up
Speaker 1: eventually collecting more revenue. Here's what he said about how
Speaker 1: the economy is doing. Number forty four.
Speaker 19: Bowling shows more voters trust Democrats over Republicans when it
Speaker 19: comes to the economy.
Speaker 4: Why do you think that's happening now.
Speaker 5: It's not four dollar gas.
Speaker 32: No, I have no idea. It's probably four dollar gas
Speaker 32: or whatever. But the Republicans have been doing a very
Speaker 32: good job on the economy, at least at a federal level,
Speaker 32: and I'm very impressed with what they've done. I mean
Speaker 32: the you know, the becoming, the personal income tax rate
Speaker 32: down to thirty percent, locking that in for permanent, the
Speaker 32: corporate rate down to twenty one percent, you know, one
Speaker 32: hundred percent expensing of capital purchases, lowering the death Acts.
Speaker 32: All of those are really wonderful policies that have been
Speaker 32: put in exclusively by Republicans. I don't think there was
Speaker 32: one Democratic vote for any of those policies. Anyone who
Speaker 32: thinks the Democrats are going to run the economy better
Speaker 32: based upon facts not words, I think will be sorely mistaken.
Speaker 1: And this is the Chairman of the Economic Council, Kevin Hassett,
Speaker 1: Number eighteen.
Speaker 33: You know, there's so many numbers being thrown around, but
Speaker 33: when you talk to the everyday American, they will tell
Speaker 33: you that prices at the grocery store, mortgage rates are higher,
Speaker 33: you know, so you have the gas prices at the
Speaker 33: gas pump and so, yes, it is true that there
Speaker 33: is income growth, but then at the same time americans
Speaker 33: out there saying that they're hurting. Is the White House
Speaker 33: in touch with what the everyday American is feeling right now?
Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely.
Speaker 34: And you know, I think that if you look at
Speaker 34: the last couple of inflation reports, the thing that we
Speaker 34: got today that showed the Fed's favorite measure actually went down.
Speaker 34: It was negative for one of the first times at
Speaker 34: a log time. The consumer price indecks had just a massive,
Speaker 34: massive decline in the latest monthly report. And it wasn't
Speaker 34: just because of energy. A lot of the policies that
Speaker 34: we've been pursuing, like Trump our x is making it
Speaker 34: so the drug prices are going down. And so we're
Speaker 34: mindful of the fact that prices went up a lot
Speaker 34: over the last four or five years before President Trump
Speaker 34: came in, and that people still are feeling pain. But
Speaker 34: on the other hand, real incomes have grown about three
Speaker 34: thousand dollars in President Trump's first couple of years. They
Speaker 34: declined that much over four years under President Biden. And
Speaker 34: so people are seeing their wages go up more dead
Speaker 34: prices and they're finding you know, as you looked at
Speaker 34: that consumption number that was adjusted for inflation, and so
Speaker 34: a big solid consumption quarter like we saw at Q
Speaker 34: two side that consumers are optimistic about what's going on
Speaker 34: on average.
Speaker 1: Now, he was on CNN when he said that, So
Speaker 1: people that are not watching Fox and Newsmax at least
Speaker 1: heard that part. And I've not seen anything really on
Speaker 1: CNN and msnbhij are now called bs now which I
Speaker 1: watched that you don't have to bout Trump accounts thousand
Speaker 1: dollars when a child is born every year until the
Speaker 1: child is eighteen. Put the money in the stock market
Speaker 1: typical return seven percent maybe more when you reinvested dividends.
Speaker 1: At the age of sixty five, this person's going to
Speaker 1: have over a million dollars. And that does not count
Speaker 1: the fact that you can put up to five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year in this Trump account. Five thousand a
Speaker 1: year if you can do it, and you're talking about
Speaker 1: millions of dollars when this person is now sixty five
Speaker 1: years old. This is huge. James Carfinal from Heritage and
Speaker 1: I were talking about the fact that Donald Trump secured
Speaker 1: the borders in thirty days and we relyed to for
Speaker 1: four years about how secure they were, or that they
Speaker 1: were secure as they can be given the absence of
Speaker 1: comprehensive immigration reform, and that now that they're secured, people
Speaker 1: on the left have moved on and whined about something else.
Speaker 1: Here's Trump. There were thirty three.
Speaker 4: You touched on Iran.
Speaker 31: They're you know, it's got to feel like groundhog Day
Speaker 31: to you. So, I mean they're in, they want a deal.
Speaker 4: The deal's off.
Speaker 31: I mean, at what point do you say enough when
Speaker 31: there's no coming back for Iran?
Speaker 1: Well, I have plenty of time.
Speaker 25: You know, people talk about the midterms, So the midterms
Speaker 25: they want to see winning.
Speaker 1: You know, in.
Speaker 25: Venezuela, we I oh. People were so opposed to what
Speaker 25: I did in Venezuela. It lasted one day. And now
Speaker 25: they look, we're making hundreds of billions of dollars, and
Speaker 25: so are they. They're getting Venezuela is like a different place,
Speaker 25: but were taken out hundreds of billions of dollars. They're
Speaker 25: taking out hundreds of billions of dollars. It's a different place.
Speaker 25: It's actually becoming me. They had the tragedy the other
Speaker 25: day with the problem, as you know, but there was
Speaker 25: a terrible problem. The earthquake, I guess you'd call it.
Speaker 25: It was a bad one. But outside of that, they
Speaker 25: have a country that is a very happy country. Again,
Speaker 25: but we are We paid for the cost of that
Speaker 25: war many many times over where have you heard that?
Speaker 5: But everybody was.
Speaker 25: Against it, And then when I won, they all think
Speaker 25: it was great. But nobody talks about it anymore. So
Speaker 25: I have to talk about it. Nobody talks about the
Speaker 25: fact that we have the safest border in history. And
Speaker 25: I probably got elected partially, at least in big part,
Speaker 25: because of the fact that the border was so bad.
Speaker 25: Twenty five million people, you know, people say fourteen, it's
Speaker 25: only nineteen, or it's only twenty five million people. Probably
Speaker 25: it's probably more than that. They came pouring into or
Speaker 25: totally unchecked and unvetted, pouring into our country. And many
Speaker 25: of these people are not the people you want in
Speaker 25: our country. We have drug lords, we have people from
Speaker 25: many people, millions of people from prisons, eleven thousand you've
Speaker 25: heard me say it, eight hundred and eighty eight murderers,
Speaker 25: most of whom were many of whom committed more than
Speaker 25: one murder. We're getting them all out. We've got so
Speaker 25: many of them out. We're doing such a good job.
Speaker 25: But was the hardest thing we inherited, the worst inflation
Speaker 25: in the history of our country. But the worst thing
Speaker 25: we inherited was the fact that Biden allowed twenty five
Speaker 25: million people they would not have qualified, many of them,
Speaker 25: most of them, but many of them to come into
Speaker 25: the country. And we're getting them out.
Speaker 1: Why And now nobody even talks about the border, let
Speaker 1: alone give prethident Trump credit for securing it. It is
Speaker 1: what the same thing front page article newsweek about what's
Speaker 1: happening in Venezuela under the control of America. Inflation down,
Speaker 1: oral productivity up dramatically, the ratings approval ratings of America
Speaker 1: much higher than the ratings of Donald Trump here in
Speaker 1: the country. It's incredible. It talks about the assistance America
Speaker 1: has given Venezuela because of their two earthquakes, far more
Speaker 1: assistance than the other non profits have been doing. And
Speaker 1: now no one talks about it. The fact that our
Speaker 1: allies are now paying for our support for Ukraine. Nobody
Speaker 1: now talks about it, not even the headline news anymore.
Speaker 1: Stock market record highs. Sixty percent of Americans have money
Speaker 1: in the stock market, either directly or indirectly. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: another day, another Dow record, another S and P record.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about affordability. Gas price is still lower than
Speaker 1: they were under a Biden and lower than they were
Speaker 1: under Obama adjusted for inflation. How often is that factoid mentioned?
Speaker 1: Does the man get credit for anything? I'm want to
Speaker 1: talk about when I was fact checked by? When the
Speaker 1: left organizations will come back? Stick around for that now,
Speaker 1: whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, launching a new project,

Speaker 1: Fox and Friends one morning, this is in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about how large government has gone. And
Speaker 1: I said, in nineteen hundred, government at all three levels, federal, state,
Speaker 1: and local, took just ten percent from the American people.
Speaker 1: In Texas, now it takes almost thirty five percent. And
Speaker 1: if you put a value on mandates, unfunded mandates, government
Speaker 1: takes almost half what the American people produce. So I
Speaker 1: get home my phone ranks. How they got my phone
Speaker 1: numbers beyond me? And it was one of these pund
Speaker 1: defect organizations. And guy said, sorry, this morning on Fox
Speaker 1: and Friends, you said that government and nineteen hundred took
Speaker 1: only ten percent of the American people. Do you have
Speaker 1: a source for this? I said, no, I pulled it
Speaker 1: out of my butt. Of course I have a source
Speaker 1: for it. And then now you said, right now, it
Speaker 1: takes almost thirty five percent. Do you have a source
Speaker 1: for that? I said, of course, I have a source,
Speaker 1: A game my source. And now and finally you said
Speaker 1: that if you add up the cost of mandates, that's
Speaker 1: when the government tells you to do something. Plus the taxes,
Speaker 1: it takes almost fifty percent. And I said, yeah, do
Speaker 1: you have a source? I said, gave them several sources.
Speaker 1: So newspaper came out a few days later had one
Speaker 1: of these meters and it said Elder is half right.
Speaker 1: And I was not amused, and to their credit, they
Speaker 1: agreed to come on my show and we talked about it.
Speaker 1: Number fifty. My next guest is editor of pund de Fact.
Speaker 1: Pun Defact has been set up by the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Times in November of twenty thirteen. Aaron Sharrockman is editor
Speaker 1: of pun de Fact. Mister Sharrockman, thank you very much
Speaker 1: for coming on. I appreciate it.
Speaker 35: Great to be here.
Speaker 1: Larry Hi, I'm here obviously because of your fact checking
Speaker 1: the statement that I made on Crossfire. Do you think
Speaker 1: that the rating that your reporter gave me is a
Speaker 1: fair rating?
Speaker 28: I do, And I can explain a little bit of
Speaker 28: our process, because it's really meant to be open and transparent.
Speaker 28: Every fact check we do, we talk to you for this,
Speaker 28: and you are very helpful. We also reach out to experts,
Speaker 28: which we did in this case. I think the reporter
Speaker 28: contact at eight or nine different economists or tax policy experts.
Speaker 28: And then so then we go through our process and
Speaker 28: we do our analysis, and she recommends a rating on
Speaker 28: our truth ometer. And then a group of three editors
Speaker 28: who kind of shit of the jury kind of votes
Speaker 28: and they came up again with our rating here that
Speaker 28: your statement was mostly false.
Speaker 1: And so, mister Shrockman, was the verdict unanimous.
Speaker 28: I think the verdict one of the unanimous. I'll tell
Speaker 28: you I can't specifically remember, I would say eighty percent
Speaker 28: of the time. It's unanimous twenty percent of the time.
Speaker 28: So we have the conversation. I can tell you, Larry,
Speaker 28: your particular statement, like so many, sometimes are difficult to
Speaker 28: reach an ultimate judgment.
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's let's let's go over the statement, if
Speaker 1: you don't mind, mister sh Dolckman. First time you read it,
Speaker 1: here's what I said, and this is what you fact checked.
Speaker 5: It's three sentences.
Speaker 1: The first one doesn't count because the first sentences my
Speaker 1: problem is this, we'll ignore that.
Speaker 5: This is the second two sentences.
Speaker 1: In nineteen hundred, at all three levels of government, federal, state,
Speaker 1: and local government took less than ten percent of the
Speaker 1: American people's money. Now we're talking about thirty five percent,
Speaker 1: and when you add a dollar value to mandates, we're
Speaker 1: talking almost fifty percent in the quote. So let's go
Speaker 1: over it the first part. In nineteen hundred, at all
Speaker 1: three levels of government, federal, state, and local government took
Speaker 1: less than ten percent of the American people's money. And
Speaker 1: the reason we're going over it, mister Trurockman, is because
Speaker 1: the letter that I got from your reporter said that
Speaker 1: you wanted to fact check all my claims plural. So
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that there there are several claims in these
Speaker 1: two sentences that you fact checked. The first one, again,
Speaker 1: in nineteen hundred, at all three levels of government, federal, state,
Speaker 1: and local government took less than ten percent of the
Speaker 1: American people's money. Is that true or false?
Speaker 28: Base believe that it's much closer to true than false.
Speaker 28: I don't want to get in. Okay, cat live on television.
Speaker 5: Fair enough, fair enough, Okay.
Speaker 1: The next one. Now we're talking about thirty five percent
Speaker 1: today at all three levels. Is that true or false?
Speaker 28: I would say on spending, you'll use a period, be
Speaker 28: close face on the math. I think there is a
Speaker 28: difference of opinion revenues versus spending. You say government took
Speaker 28: the debt of seventeen tillion dollars in.
Speaker 35: Money they took that they spent.
Speaker 28: But technical tech, technicality, I think you're in the callpark.
Speaker 28: How about that?
Speaker 1: Okay, So the first two parts of my two of
Speaker 1: my statements, the amount that took at all three levels
Speaker 1: of nineteen hundred checks out. The second part of the
Speaker 1: amount they take right now thirty five percent or so,
Speaker 1: that checks out. So the only part we're quarreling with
Speaker 1: is where I add the thirty five percent plus the
Speaker 1: dollar value to the mandates to.
Speaker 5: Get to fifty percent.
Speaker 1: That's the issue that we're having here.
Speaker 28: I think you're right, okay.
Speaker 1: Now, Now, then I'm trying to figure out how I'm
Speaker 1: mostly false when two of the of the three statements
Speaker 1: that I made you've now agreed are true.
Speaker 28: Yeah, and let me finish.
Speaker 1: And then and when your reporter wrote me, she said,
Speaker 1: I want to check all of its claims plural. I've
Speaker 1: made three claims here, the side of the garment in
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred, the side of the garment right now, and
Speaker 1: what the size would be if we were added a
Speaker 1: dollar value to the mandates. Two of those you've agreed
Speaker 1: are are on the money the only one we're crawling
Speaker 1: over is the latter one. Even if you and I
Speaker 1: disagree on the latter one, How do I get a
Speaker 1: mostly false when two of them are other three are
Speaker 1: are accurate?
Speaker 35: Sure?
Speaker 28: And this goes back to a little bit of our process,
Speaker 28: which is really important. And I think you're summarizing everything
Speaker 28: very well. And so one of the tricky things about
Speaker 28: facts checking, quite frankly, is dealing with numbers and dealing
Speaker 28: with the claims that have multiple facts in one or.
Speaker 35: Two sentences, right, And.
Speaker 28: So how one of the things that we learned, and
Speaker 28: this is fun Effect as a brand new it's just
Speaker 28: been around since the start of the month, but it
Speaker 28: comes based on something called porn Effect, where we fact
Speaker 28: checked more than eight thousand statements since two thousand and seven.
Speaker 28: And so one of the things that we learned is
Speaker 28: that it's really hard to do us essentially judge the
Speaker 28: truthful this if you will, of a long statement like that,
Speaker 28: because you know, if one of them is, say, mostly true,
Speaker 28: and one of them is maybe true, and then one
Speaker 28: of them there's something less than that, how do you
Speaker 28: kind of like put that in a blender, you know,
Speaker 28: spin it up and kind of spit out one statement
Speaker 28: in one rating. And so what we try to do,
Speaker 28: and what we did in this case is we were
Speaker 28: we wanted to be as specific as possible as to
Speaker 28: the claim that most people I think that they would
Speaker 28: listening to you on Crossbar and he did a great job,
Speaker 28: is that they would hear and they would be most
Speaker 28: interested to know. And so we had to boil it
Speaker 28: down to something something that we.
Speaker 35: Could kind of focus in on. H and that, to
Speaker 35: us was.
Speaker 28: The third part of your claim, because I think, really
Speaker 28: and you I think you're agree, that's the most eye
Speaker 28: catching number, that the idea that almost every of every
Speaker 28: dollar you make, almost fifty fifty cents of it is
Speaker 28: going to the government. And so that's really we thought
Speaker 28: that was what we wanted to focus in on, because
Speaker 28: that's the claim that you know when you said it,
Speaker 28: that's the number that because I was watching on deep
Speaker 28: that was the thing that jumps up Russ or load
Speaker 28: is that right? And that's generally our text. So and
Speaker 28: so while the first two numbers are accurate or close
Speaker 28: to accurate, that doesn't necessarily mean that we're not going
Speaker 28: to check and look at that third number and focus there.
Speaker 35: Because we thought that was the most.
Speaker 28: Critical one, especially for viewers to get a good understanding
Speaker 28: of not only our tax policy going back, but also
Speaker 28: looking forward, and then lastly trying to measure the cost of.
Speaker 1: Regulations and mandates are when we come back the rest
Speaker 1: of it. By the way, they said that I was
Speaker 1: mostly wrong, not half true, that I was mostly wrong.
Speaker 36: We continue.
Speaker 1: Triple late nine seven one sage triple eight nine seven
Speaker 1: one seven two four to three. I am Larry Yeld.
Speaker 1: We are stale. On the channel again. In twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: I was on Fox and Friends talking about the size
Speaker 1: of the government, and I said, in nineteen hundred, government
Speaker 1: took less than ten percent from the American people at
Speaker 1: all three levels, federal, state, and local. Now it takes
Speaker 1: about thirty five percent. When you add the cost of mandates,
Speaker 1: it's almost fifty percent. Got a call from one of
Speaker 1: these fact check organizations and a letter, and they asked
Speaker 1: me to provide sources for my three assertions. I gave
Speaker 1: them sources and a few days later big article that
Speaker 1: said Larry Elder is quote mostly false. To their credit.
Speaker 1: When I invited them on them my radio show, they came,
Speaker 1: let's continue. Aaron Schrockman is my guest editor of pun
Speaker 1: the Fact. Now, Aaron, I'll tell you why I think
Speaker 1: that you're unfair to me. Regarding the last one. You've
Speaker 1: acknowledged that Grover Norquis's organization puts the figure of a
Speaker 1: government taking even higher than the one I did, But
Speaker 1: then you quote other experts to say that, well, nobody
Speaker 1: really knows. It's hard to put a value on it.
Speaker 1: This subjective fair enough, but that doesn't make my statement
Speaker 1: mostly wrong. I think, and I things who please. And
Speaker 1: the other reason is because of the way you evaluated
Speaker 1: the statement made by at Schultz the day before. At Schultz,
Speaker 1: of course, is left wing. He comes on television he
Speaker 1: says that Chris Christy fired six thousand teachers. It turns
Speaker 1: out the number we're talking about is forty five hundreds,
Speaker 1: so he's off by thirty three percent. And Chris Christy
Speaker 1: didn't fire anybody directly. The people that left were laid
Speaker 1: off or they retired, and so the statement is really wrong.
Speaker 1: Instead of saying mostly false or false, you said he
Speaker 1: was half true. Now, how is that half true? And
Speaker 1: I'm mostly false?
Speaker 28: I would say this, I would say, Larry, it is
Speaker 28: you can look at to state any of our two
Speaker 28: statements of the eight thousand that we've checked in the abstract,
Speaker 28: and you could reach you can reach a bad comparison
Speaker 28: conclusion by looking at him. Let's take another one that
Speaker 28: we just did this week to a former advisor to
Speaker 28: George W. Bush, a guy named Brad Bake Blakeman to
Speaker 28: the farm bill, ninety percent of the farm bill is
Speaker 28: food steps, and so what kind of farm bill is
Speaker 28: a farm bill? Ninety percent of that is for food steps. Well,
Speaker 28: whenever it was eighty percent, so he was off again
Speaker 28: again a numbers they would choose off. We gave that
Speaker 28: statement in most cleatures. So if you compared, for instance,
Speaker 28: compared that.
Speaker 35: Statement at Schultz, you'd say you maybe reach a different
Speaker 35: conclusion about our point of view.
Speaker 28: And every time I say that is it's really important.
Speaker 28: Is that we take a lot of care on what
Speaker 28: we do. And what I liked about this conversation I
Speaker 28: am really important is that for the most part, I don't.
Speaker 28: I don't think you're quibbling with our reporting. I think
Speaker 28: you think we do. We set out to do a
Speaker 28: pretty good job.
Speaker 1: I think I think I think Aaron, I think I
Speaker 1: think you were unfair. She sends me a letter, and
Speaker 1: she calls my figures my claims plural eye popping. And
Speaker 1: if you think eye popping plural, that means you're not
Speaker 1: just talking about the fifty percent, you're talking about the
Speaker 1: ten percent and thirty five percent as being eye popping.
Speaker 1: I willed to submit, Aaron, I could be wrong. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Katie. I wanted to submit. When she was
Speaker 1: watching me, she said, really, government only took ten percent
Speaker 1: in nineteen hundred. Really, government takes thirty five percent. Now
Speaker 1: that's eye popping. And now that you found out that
Speaker 1: I was accurate, you've ignored it. You should you should
Speaker 1: at least that Elder was right about those two things,
Speaker 1: wrong about this one, or or at least this one's arguable.
Speaker 1: But giving me a mostly false when you gave chows
Speaker 1: I have true, that is just incredibly unfair.
Speaker 35: Eron I think, I think, and this is a difference,
Speaker 35: This is going to be a differenceive opinion.
Speaker 28: I don't like the idea that what Fun in fact
Speaker 28: is trying to do is this describe whether you're not
Speaker 28: you're telling the truth?
Speaker 25: Right?
Speaker 28: I think I see as there's a way a second
Speaker 28: screen for people who watch Crossfire, who are listening to
Speaker 28: this radio show to go and say, hey, I want
Speaker 28: to learn more about that, and I also want to
Speaker 28: learn the sources. I want to have the links. I
Speaker 28: want to do. Ale looks through everything, and I also
Speaker 28: want to go through it through the lens of a
Speaker 28: fact check or someone is coming through this with only
Speaker 28: one special interest, and.
Speaker 35: That's the getting the facts straight.
Speaker 28: And I can tell you uh, and we can disagree
Speaker 28: on specific rulings, and trust me, we hear from We
Speaker 28: hear from folks on the right and on the last
Speaker 28: a lot. We do our best to try to approximate
Speaker 28: we're on the truth and meter A play in falls
Speaker 28: and we're not perfect, but we think that ultimately people
Speaker 28: are should be held accounts to their words. And so
Speaker 28: in this case, we're having a differenceive opinion about that
Speaker 28: sixty percent of people's money is spent on take in
Speaker 28: essentially for either taxes or.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick hard break and then we'll
Speaker 1: talk at just a second, okay. Aaron Schrockman is my
Speaker 1: guest editor of pund Defect Talk Radio seven ninety KBC.
Speaker 1: Aaron Schrockman is editor of pund Effect and he racially
Speaker 1: agreed to come on the show to talk about their
Speaker 1: fact checking of a statement that I made on Crossfire.
Speaker 1: Aeron again, thank you for very much for sticking through
Speaker 1: the break real quickly. Do you believe that there is
Speaker 1: a left wing media bias?
Speaker 35: I don't.
Speaker 1: I do think you don't.
Speaker 28: I don't think there's a left wing media bias.
Speaker 35: I mean I think that quite.
Speaker 28: Frankly, everyone, every single person, probably brings some bias to
Speaker 28: some reporting they do on some level.
Speaker 25: Right.
Speaker 28: You know, I grew up in Pennsylvania and I'm a
Speaker 28: Phillies fan. I don't think i'd want me writing about.
Speaker 1: The Philly I think you think most reporters are non
Speaker 1: partisan or are they lack an affection for either party?
Speaker 28: I think most of the porters that I work within
Speaker 28: the Tampa Bay Times and PolitiFact, I think absolutely I
Speaker 28: do fair enough.
Speaker 1: The does not believe that there is a medium bias.
Speaker 1: More on this in just a few minutes. Now. You know,

Speaker 1: Factor dot Com. That's relief factor dot com my final
Speaker 1: minutes with the people from the fact check organization that
Speaker 1: claimed that I was mostly false. The other thing I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about in your analysis of what
Speaker 1: I said, is you include a statement made by a
Speaker 1: guy named Ryan Camp. He's a tax professor at Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: Mister Elder's statement is too vague to be useful for
Speaker 1: any purpose other than generating hallelujahs from the choir he
Speaker 1: is preaching to in this quote. What was the point
Speaker 1: in including that quote? Well, I think it unnecessary and
Speaker 1: just a hit on me for no reason.
Speaker 20: Am I wrong?
Speaker 28: I mean, I mean, I think you're entital of your opinion.
Speaker 28: I think what Kitty and the reporter are trying to do.
Speaker 28: There is add in another voice from another expert who
Speaker 28: studies this stuff for a living, and I think he's
Speaker 28: suggesting that, if he's suggesting in a colorful way, that
Speaker 28: is a very difficult number to reach when it comes
Speaker 28: to trying to put a percentage on the cost of
Speaker 28: mandates and regulations net cost of mandates and regulations on
Speaker 28: the American people.
Speaker 1: What do you think the cost is?
Speaker 35: I have any idea.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's important to know or important to
Speaker 1: find out or get some sort of ballpark.
Speaker 28: I'm asking, Oh, I think it would certainly be very useful.
Speaker 1: And I think you know, how far off do you
Speaker 1: think I am?
Speaker 28: Again, you're asking questions that I don't know.
Speaker 35: I'm a fact checker.
Speaker 1: So basically, well, when you say, when you say I'm
Speaker 1: mostly false, I would assumeing you must have some idea
Speaker 1: of how oft I am.
Speaker 35: This is, this is this is a different thing. I
Speaker 35: would say.
Speaker 28: The one thing that is very important to note about
Speaker 28: fortifacts and pundit fact is what we're doing is when
Speaker 28: when you say something, just like the president or mtck
Speaker 28: Romney or John Stewart or Rachel Maddow, Uh, there's an
Speaker 28: expectations that if the truth and so it is not
Speaker 28: in our cases. We want to try to find what
Speaker 28: is the truth, But in the absence of truth if
Speaker 28: we can, if we know, for instance, that a number
Speaker 28: is difficult to prove or not easy to discern, we're.
Speaker 35: Going to point that out.
Speaker 1: And so if Aaron you say absence of truth, you've
Speaker 1: already acknowledged I was right when I said government at
Speaker 1: all three levels took less than ten percent nineteen hundred.
Speaker 1: I'm right that all three levels of take thirty five percent.
Speaker 1: The only quarrel is how much value to put on
Speaker 1: the cost of mandates. And you've agreed that there is
Speaker 1: a cost. We just don't know quite what the cost is.
Speaker 1: But how I'm getting mostly false. When you agree that
Speaker 1: there's a value to it, it blows my mind, It really does.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 28: One, I'm not necessarily agreeing that there's I'm agreeing that
Speaker 28: there's a gross costs to mandated regulations. I'm not agreeing
Speaker 28: that there's a net cost because I'm not a researcher.
Speaker 35: I haven't studied this.
Speaker 1: Even the economists that you quote say that there's.
Speaker 28: A cost, correct, and they don't know what it is, And.
Speaker 1: What you say is they're unwilling to say Elders definitively right.
Speaker 1: I never said anything definitive about what I said. I
Speaker 1: said almost fifty percent, which I would have thought would
Speaker 1: also have given me some wiggle room. So again, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm delivering the point.
Speaker 28: Eric, we're not talking about that are really important that,
Speaker 28: for instance, the thirty five percent.
Speaker 35: Number which you're quoting several times.
Speaker 28: Also factors in Medicare and social Security. Those are benefits
Speaker 28: to quite frankly all Americans, and so to say that
Speaker 28: number is while accurate, you're also forget that a lot
Speaker 28: of that money will eventually some of that money I
Speaker 28: don't know, because I don't know how much will return
Speaker 28: to Americas. And so really there are there are other
Speaker 28: things that in your statement that you guys said.
Speaker 1: You guys said I was accurate.
Speaker 5: You said I was accurate, but.
Speaker 28: I also said, but I also said.
Speaker 35: A more complicated picture.
Speaker 28: I'm saying you said, they take, they take, but they
Speaker 28: also give right the cost of mandates and regulations. Okay,
Speaker 28: so if are we talking about things like building the
Speaker 28: highway system, well, there's certainly a benefit to the.
Speaker 35: Highway system as well.
Speaker 28: I mean the government could choose not to build one,
Speaker 28: but then uh, I mean people would that was the
Speaker 28: private sector have to come in that somebody would pay
Speaker 28: for it anyway, and it's a very difficult thing to prove.
Speaker 7: And.
Speaker 1: They're in the organization that that is headed up by
Speaker 1: glovernrquis put a number on it.
Speaker 5: You just didn't like it.
Speaker 28: Well, just because in fact there was a it's a
Speaker 28: gross number. That number, I think, uh, it did not
Speaker 28: try the factor in any of the benefits, Uh, any
Speaker 28: of the essentially the benefits that the American people can't
Speaker 28: for sending their dollars to Washington or my case, tallahassee
Speaker 28: bottom line.
Speaker 1: Aaron Trockman, I think you were soft on a show.
Speaker 1: It's hard on me. I think you were unfair, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a bias.
Speaker 28: Well, and it's I would say this to me, anything
Speaker 28: other than a true rating is we're saying there's something,
Speaker 28: there's something more about the statement than it needs to
Speaker 28: be kind of considered and a half. To me, a
Speaker 28: hash through isn't a good reading.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's better than mostly wrong, mostly false, which is
Speaker 1: what you gave me. Well, and I think that the
Speaker 1: and I and I and I and I am respectfully
Speaker 1: requesting that you revisit this and put out a new
Speaker 1: statement and change it. Yeah, respectful, respect respectfully requesting that
Speaker 1: I understand.
Speaker 28: I think there's two there's with your specific statement. Again,
Speaker 28: I don't want to go into comparison because I can
Speaker 28: find other items that you know when they I don't
Speaker 28: even know what they would saying. Because any any two
Speaker 28: items in isolation, you can make any any any conclusion
Speaker 28: want to reach. I would say this for me again,
Speaker 28: two major issues. One was the fifty percent number or almost.
Speaker 1: Sixty almost a person.
Speaker 28: Yes, very difficult number.
Speaker 35: To figure out.
Speaker 28: We couldn't find anyone who who agreed with the Americans
Speaker 28: tax reform number or your number and said and can
Speaker 28: come up with a number. So that's number one. The
Speaker 28: same thing, which is also really important that we didn't
Speaker 28: get to really talk about again, is you said the
Speaker 28: government takes almost fifty percent of your money, Americans money.
Speaker 28: That is not accurate because you are equating the money
Speaker 28: that we pay send to Washington or Tallahassee with the
Speaker 28: money that the government spends. We're only looking at spending,
Speaker 28: so you're including seventeen billion dollars in debt that they
Speaker 28: never took out of my paycheck or your Aaron.
Speaker 1: The bottom line is reasonable. People can disagree, but my
Speaker 1: figure was not outlandish. It does not warrant a mostly
Speaker 1: false rating in my opinion. But Aaron, I got to run.
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on. I appreciate it, and again
Speaker 1: respectfully requesting that you would revisit this and do another analysis.
Speaker 35: Okay, thank you for any time.
Speaker 1: Got it. Well, that was entertaining. Angel Reese is a
Speaker 1: WNBA star. She said this about her role as a
Speaker 1: roll bottle number forty five.
Speaker 16: What were some of the dolls you played with when
Speaker 16: you were little?
Speaker 37: Honestly, I didn't have a lot of dolls because I didn't.
Speaker 1: Have dolls that really looked like me much.
Speaker 37: And that's why I kind of really wanted to make
Speaker 37: sure this was super intentional, because now they have a
Speaker 37: doll that looks like you and nails and hair, but
Speaker 37: also you can be a killer on the court as well,
Speaker 37: So dolls dolls tarting to have a reportance for me when.
Speaker 36: Getting the doll.
Speaker 1: So now she has a doll, and she wants to
Speaker 1: be intentional because she says when she was growing up,
Speaker 1: she didn't have a black doll. She was born in
Speaker 1: two thousand two. Nineteen sixty eight, Mattel introduced Christi, the
Speaker 1: first black doll in the Barbie family. Now Christy was
Speaker 1: just a friend rather than Barbie herself, but in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty Mattel released the first doll officially named Black Barbie.
Speaker 1: The doll was designed by a black designer named Kitty
Speaker 1: Black Perkins, who became Mattel's first black fashion designer. Nineteen eight.
Speaker 1: Mattel steadily expanded the range of Black Barbies with different
Speaker 1: skin tones, different facial appearances, facial features, hairstyles, careers, body types,
Speaker 1: and fashions. Just saying now when it comes to supplements,
Speaker 1: two things matter most that it works and that you
Speaker 1: can trust it. Rather than just tell you about Relief Factor,
Speaker 1: we let our customers do it. We hear from people
Speaker 1: every single day whose lives have change. We'd likely to
Speaker 1: hear a few of their stories. Joni shared that before
Speaker 1: Relief Factor, her husband couldn't open his hands in the
Speaker 1: morning and had to give up playing guitar. Now he
Speaker 1: wakes up with flexibility in his back to playing music.
Speaker 1: They're both recommending Relief Factor to friends as a way
Speaker 1: to enjoy the things they love again. I take it

Speaker 1: Salem News Channel, Senator John Kennedy try to get a
Speaker 1: handle around how much fraud is costing the American taxpayer
Speaker 1: at number twenty nine.
Speaker 29: Now, what's your best guess as to how much per
Speaker 29: year this this cheating costs the federal tax payer.
Speaker 38: We released a report on this yesterday, Senator and estimated
Speaker 38: that it's thirty three billion dollars. It was thirty three
Speaker 38: billion dollars in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 29: Okay, and that's thirty three billion dollars that is taken
Speaker 29: away from the people who really need medicaid. Is that right?
Speaker 22: Yes?
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 29: Has anybody gone to jail for doing this?
Speaker 38: Not to my knowledge.
Speaker 29: Don't you think we ought to start putting people in
Speaker 29: jail for cheating?
Speaker 38: I think that it's financial fraud against the federal government.
Speaker 1: Yes, And this deputy administrator over these programs gave a
Speaker 1: major update on the fraud crackdown in California. Number twenty eight.
Speaker 18: I want to build on that with an update on
Speaker 18: one of the areas where we'd made the most progress, hospice.
Speaker 18: Since President Trump took office, one thousand and seventy six
Speaker 18: hospices have been removed from the Medicare program in California alone,
Speaker 18: represents a forty seven percent reduction in the number of
Speaker 18: California hospices compared to the peak during the Biden administration.
Speaker 18: To put that in context, Los Angeles County alone had
Speaker 18: more than one and fifty hospices. So these are hospices
Speaker 18: that are no longer under review. They're not on a
Speaker 18: watch list. They are gone, thrown out of the program, entirely,
Speaker 18: unable to build Medicare, unable to touch another taxpayer dollar,
Speaker 18: unable to take advantage of another vulnerable benefituary.
Speaker 1: This former Medicaid official, however, says states are not cheating.
Speaker 1: Sara to Kennedy not amused number forty.
Speaker 29: Sure, I'm sure. Don't you think we ought to put
Speaker 29: people in jail for cheating?
Speaker 1: Senator? I do not believe states are cheating.
Speaker 4: You don't believe that.
Speaker 5: I do not believe that if they.
Speaker 29: Were cheating, what planet did you just parachute in from? Sure, sir,
Speaker 29: you've worked on this have you worked on this program
Speaker 29: for a long time?
Speaker 5: But I don't believe believe you cheating. I do not
Speaker 5: believe States.
Speaker 29: Are you believe in the truth fairy? Sure? Do you
Speaker 29: believe in the Easter Bunny? Do you believe that Jimmy
Speaker 29: Hoffa died of natural causes? You're not answering.
Speaker 1: I do not believe States are cheating in their administration
Speaker 1: of the Medicaid. Let's do this again tomorrow, be on time.
Speaker 1: I will God bless.
