WEBVTT - The DSA Continues to Take Over the Democratic Party 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:11.360 As to my sudgo, you can't succeed with Olt triple 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.680 eight nine seven one Sage triple eight nine seven one 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.279 seven two four to three. I am Larry Elder. We 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:23.239 are sale. THEOM News channel, Tuesday was a big night 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:28.440 for socialists. Former Medicaid official says states are not committing 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:33.199 fraud that Senator Kennedy was not amused. Democrats are not 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.680 only refusing to denounce Hassan Piker, the DSA member who 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.760 said Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel, they 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.440 are embracing him. Does the Muslim Brotherhood have an alliance 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.879 with the Democrat Socialists of America? The stock market hit 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.400 record highs again today. A Reagan economist says the national 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:55.120 economy is doing great. A w NBA coach as trans 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.840 women should be able to play in the w NBA. 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.400 We're gonna take a trip down memory lane when the 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.760 great Ol'd Durfy was fact checked on what I said 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.720 about government spending in nineteen hundred versus government spending today. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.680 W NBA star Angel Reyes, who is black, said there 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.640 were no black dolls and she was a little girl, 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.000 which makes her a really important role model right now. Really, 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.479 it's fact checked time all of this and more Triple 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.760 eight nine seventy one sage nine seven one seven two 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.640 four to three. I'm want to give a shout out 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.920 to my man David Cole, who, as you know I 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.760 mentioned him a few days ago, is in rehab. But 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.200 he's getting out of jail on August the eighteenth. He's 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.720 now walking better, feeling better, talking better, and pretty soon 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.600 we'll be back to composing. He has another score he's 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.000 working on right now. So David, if you are listening, 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:46.080 and I know you are, MUCHO love. I want to 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:52.520 start with this letter we received from Frank, who says 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:58.080 he's an artist, storyboard artist, love artists. I don't want 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.640 to get off on a tangent, but I used to 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.920 love drawing when I was a kid. I used to 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.480 love drawing cartoons and we would get the Sunday newspaper, 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.160 and the Sunday newspaper had these little cartoons, and I 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.520 thought cartoonists actually drew that small to fit in the 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.679 little boxes. And I would get so frustrated because I 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.560 would try and draw, but they were so tiny. It 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.880 was hard for me to be exact when I was drawing, 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.920 but I tried and it wasn't until years later I 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.400 found out that most artists draw on this big fat easel, 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.000 and they have a machine that reduces the thing to 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.359 the side that it fits on the newspaper panel. It's 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.040 all this time I was trying to draw characters that 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:40.800 were that small. Okay, Larry who cares? Now received this 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:46.160 letter from Frank Larry and crew while bunch this means 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.880 to you. That's where I referred to my crew as 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:56.919 and my crew consisted of mister McConnell, mister Levan, Ricky 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:03.000 Matt Who am I leaving out? Oh yeah, oh yeah, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:08.040 of course Rick Richard, as he tells me to call him. 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:13.000 That's the wild bunch. So Larry and crew love this 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.280 show and everything you guy to do. I was listening 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.919 to Larry's show today and right before the six pm 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.680 on AM eight seventy, which is the affiliate here in 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.360 LA Larry played a SoundBite of a conservative talking to 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:29.639 somebody else who was talking and to whom was he speaking? 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.520 I didn't catch that anyway, I would love to know 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.440 who the guy is, listen to more of his talks 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.840 or speeches, or even read his books. Thanks Frank, well 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.360 the gentleman, You're referring to is a great Milton Friedman, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:47.000 the economists who wrote, among other things, with his wife, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.680 also an economist, Free to Choose. PBS made a series 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.840 out of it, which was hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger, which 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.800 is one of the reasons I supported Schwarzenegger when he 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.280 ran for governor in the recollection, because I assumed that 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.320 he was a real libertarian. He's not. He's more of 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:06.000 a populist and more left than he is, in my 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:12.000 opinion conservative. But Arnold Forarzenegger hosted the series that was 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.640 done on PBS years ago about his book called Free 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.320 to Choose, and Milton Freeman was on a daily talk 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.320 show hosted by Phil Donahue. Phil Donahue later on got 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.200 a show on MSNB he Haw and it was clear 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.000 how left wing he is, although you can tell that 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.640 from this exchange with Milton Friedman. Friedman is a well 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:38.839 known libertarian, also a member of the Republican Party. As 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.080 I am, I call myself a Republicarian. I don't think 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.920 he's ever called himself that, but he was a member 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:49.159 of the Republican Party and a very prominent small l libertarian. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.080 And they were discussing and the reason I'm talking about 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:57.640 this is because of the victory these socialists received on Tuesday. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.719 The candidate in Michigan, Abdul lsiad one is race or 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.599 two other left wing Michigan people running for the House 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.839 who won their races. And you know about the candidate 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.120 in Wisconsin, the governor in the government's race, she's leading 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.960 on the Democratic side. So they're going to be a 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.920 bunch of these Democrats socialists who will be running in 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.000 the general election. Many of them are going to be winning. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.560 Here in La, we already have four of the fifteen 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.160 members of the La City Council who are Democrat Socialists 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.159 of America. There is a Democrat social of America running 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.440 against the already left wing mayor, and the polls show 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.200 that she has got a shot at unseating this mayor. 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.560 So these people are rising, and their agenda basically is 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.840 that rich people don't pay their share in taxes, and 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.360 that capitalism is inherently unfair because the rich get richer, 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.680 the poor get poor, and it's a system that's designed 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.719 to benefit those who have advantages and screw everybody else. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.599 That's the attitude. So Milton Friedman, who is a very 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:02.000 prominent proponent of capitalism is on Phil Donoshu's show, and 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:08.640 the topic is capitalism and greed. Doesn't capitalism mister economists, 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.839 reward greed number thirty one. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.480 When you see around the globe the maldistribution of wealth, 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.720 the desperate plight of millions of people in underdeveloped countries, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.440 when you see so few haves and so many have nots, 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.360 when you see the greed and the concentration of power. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.839 With it, aren't you ever did you ever have a moment. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.400 Of doubt about capitalism and whether greed's a good idea 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:35.039 to run on. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.240 Well, first of all, tell me, is there some society 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.160 you know that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.599 doesn't run on greed? You think China. 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:44.320 Doesn't run on greed? 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:45.680 What is greed? 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.520 Of course, none of us are greeding. It's only the 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:54.960 other fellow who's greeding. The world runs on individuals pursuing 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:59.560 their separate enders. The great achievements of civilization have not 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.760 come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:10.200 order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:14.120 industry that way. In the only cases in which the 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.000 masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you're 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.640 talking about the only cases in recorded history or where 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.720 they have had capitalism and largely free trade. If you 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.800 want to know where the masses are worse off worst off, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.200 it's exactly in the kinds of societies that depart from that. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.280 So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:40.520 that there is no alternative way so far discovered of 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.680 improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:48.040 a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:49.120 a free enterprise. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.120 So it seems to reward not virtue as much as 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:53.720 ability to manipulate the system. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.280 And what does reward virtue? 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.400 You think the communist commissary rewards virtue? You think a 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.120 hitlery war Ward's virtue, you think, excuse me, if you'll 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:08.000 pardon me, do you think American president's reward virtue? Do 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.480 they choose their appointees on the basis of the virtue 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.280 of the people appointed or on the basis of their 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.640 political cloud? Is it really true that political self hitters 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.760 is nobler somehow than economic self edters. You know, I 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.960 think you're taking a lot of things for granted and 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.920 just tell me where in the world you find these 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.480 angels who are going to organize society for us. 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.040 Well, I don't even trust you. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.640 To do that. Now. We were talking over the last 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.120 several weeks about how much the rich, the top one 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.599 percent pay in taxes. And I've told you about the 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.200 party that I went to where I found a woman 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.600 who was whining about how the rich don't pay anything 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.280 in taxes. I told her, depending upon you how you 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.800 define the word rich, I'm rich. Offered to show her 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.840 my tax return. She didn't want to see them. So 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.000 I asked her what percentage of all the federal income 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.520 tax was paid by the top one percent, and she 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:04.640 said one percent, two percent. And I made an expression 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.760 on my face like I just smelt something really bad 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.040 and to let her know that she was clearly off. 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:11.560 But she never even asked me what the number was. 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.800 I didn't tell her because I knew she didn't care. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.040 I knew she didn't want to know. I knew she 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:20.559 wouldn't retain it when I said it. The top one 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.640 percent pay over forty percent of all the federal income taxes. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.640 Here in California, the top one percent pay over fifty 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.600 percent of all the state income taxes. That's a large 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.760 source of revenue in California, while the rich are making 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.800 around twenty fifteen to twenty percent of the nation's income, 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.520 so if anything, they're over taxed, as was said by 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.120 the editorial board of The Washington Post, which is a 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:47.079 left wing publication, in two thousand and eight at the DNC, 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:54.400 a US News and World Report, blogger asked twenty four 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:59.520 of the DNC delegates at that convention in Denver and 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.880 asking what's the highest rate the rich to pay in 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:09.160 federal income taxes. The average answer given by these twenty 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:13.920 five people was twenty five percent. At the time, the 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.200 top marginal rate was thirty five percent, so most of 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.280 them had no idea. The top marginal rate was ten 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.360 points higher than the rate that they suggested. It should 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.040 be no higher than that had no idea. It's one 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:26.640 thing to say the rich don't pay their fair share 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.360 in taxes, another thing to be clueless about the rich, 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:34.480 in fact, do pay now. My fellow Americans, turning sixty 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.679 five should feel like a reward. Instead, medicare hits you 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.400 like a wall, The mail never stops, the robo calls. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.920 Everybody's got a plan for you. It's confusing, and it's 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.600 confusing on purpose. You don't have to figure it out 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.319 alone though. That's why I trust Chapter.

The biggest question 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.040 in education today is how artificial intelligence is shaping the 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.200 way your student learns. Artificial intelligence is changing education faster 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.320 than most schools are willing to admit, and many families 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.760 are rightly concerned. At Patrick Henry College, the goal isn't 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.200 to outsource thinking to machines. It's to train students to 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.720 think for themselves. PhD emphasizes a Christian liberal arts education 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:51.719 that develops reasoning, writing, speaking, and discernment skills no algorithm 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:57.280 can replace. Students learn to engage technology wisely, understanding its capabilities, 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.680 but also its danger and limitations, rather than because dependent 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.360 on it. In a world increasingly shaped by AI. Patrick 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.600 Henry College prepares students to lead with wisdom, conviction, and 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.960 moral clarity. If you want a college that prepares your 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.679 child to lead in an AI driven world without losing 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.760 his or her faith and values, I encourage you to 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.360 learn more about Patrick Henry College.

We 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.240 are saleing news chaps talking about the rise of socialism 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.240 and the Democratic Party, and majority of Democrats now say 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.360 they prefer a Democrat socialist to be president in twenty 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:44.560 twenty eight. This to me is shocking. It's shocking the 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:50.800 level of abject stupidity and ignorance about the history of socialism, 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:55.280 the legacy of socialism, the definition of socialism, the idea. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.719 Because you're unhappy about so called affordability, a crisis which 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.199 is hardly been caused by the very people that you 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.000 pull the lever for, and your answer is more socialism, 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.760 more left wing stuff. California is ground zero for all 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.679 the nonsense that a growing number of Americans now want. 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.400 As I've said a million times, we have not elected 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:24.440 a Republican statewide in California in over twenty years. Last 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.840 time Los Angeles elected a Republican mayor was thirty years ago. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:35.960 And what's been the result? Home prices twice that of 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.560 the national average. How does that happen? How does that happen? 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:45.320 I'm talking to a journalist. When I was running for governor, 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.640 I was in Sacramento. There a black newspaper in Sacramento. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:53.320 This guy interviewed me and during the break he told 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:54.800 me that he was going to move because he and 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.360 his wife wanted to buy a home and they couldn't 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.679 afford one here in California. I said, yeah, well it 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.000 was because of sequel. He said, because of what I said, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.960 sequel the California Environmental Quality Act. He said, what's that? 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.360 I said, It's environmental Act for clean water, clean air 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:17.120 that was passed by that was passed by the legislature 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.160 and signed by Ronald Reagan, but taken to a whole 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.240 nother level by these left wing people. They basically make 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.360 it almost impossible to build anything without somebody suing you 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.320 and extracting all sorts of promises that jack up the 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.640 price of construction and calls all sorts of delays. So 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.280 a whole lot of builders are building outside of California. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:36.960 I know that because I met a number of them 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.760 when I was running. They may live in California because 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.240 they like the weather, even though they're being taxed through 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.200 the wazoo. But they're building in Tennessee, They're building in Utah, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.520 they're building in Nevada. He had never even heard of sequel, 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:56.000 didn't know what it was, twice that of the national average. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.080 Leohanian is an economist we've interviewed for years at UCLA. 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.720 He said, because of the propensity for earthquakes here in California, 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.080 and therefore houses have to be designed somewhat differently, the 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.800 average price should be higher by about fifteen percent, maybe 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.880 ten percent, but certainly not one hundred percent. And then 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.400 we have, of course, the highest gasoline price is because 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:28.239 of the fuel additives to fight climate change. Big newspaper 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.880 in the UK says the reason our cost living is 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.520 so high is because of these ill advised climate change policies. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.480 Long article basically saying everything Donald Trump said about these 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:46.520 renewables was accurate. But here in California you think Joe 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:51.200 Biden was a climate change extremist. Joe Biden never suggested 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.000 banning the cell of gas powered cars by twenty thirty five, 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.160 which Gavin Newsom did until there was a big pushback 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:02.400 and he stopped. We've banned powered leaf blowers, gas power lawnmowers, 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.480 mandated trucks, be evs, even though they're more expensive and 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.320 can't haul nearly as much, not nearly as efficient. I mean, 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.080 you name it, on and on and on and on, 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:19.760 regulating this, regulating that, regulating this, regulating that. More homelessness 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.680 here than anywhere else, massive gap between the rich and 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.600 the poor. I thought they were all concerned about income 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:31.520 equality and inequality. Spending more money than ever on education. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:37.760 Our K through twelve test scores are absolutely lousy. Highest 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.320 electricity prices than any state in the lower forty eight, 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:47.080 more draconian mandates during COVID than any other state. Kids 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.720 loss in my system in Los Angeles over two years 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.920 of in school learning, which translates into earning the loss 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.240 over their lifetime. Meanwhile, Gavinusum had its own kid in 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:03.520 private school, so everything that these Democrats socialists want done, 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:08.000 they're doing out here in California. The legislature passed a 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.760 law setting up a panel for reparations. Gavenus and signed it. 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.200 And then when they talked about how much reparation would cost, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.479 Gavenous and said, well, how that's a little more than 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.760 they thought it was going to be. But not for 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.520 want of trying, And more and more illegal aliens are 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.119 getting health care taxpayers expense. The only reason not all 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.240 of them get it is because the bill came in 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.919 which would have been even larger than the entire state budget. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.560 But they sure want to. That's the direction that they 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.320 love to take it into. So everything these people want, 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.119 and regarding getting getting rid of the of the Senate, 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.200 they basically have done that out here in California. When 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.240 you consider we have the Senate where there is a 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.400 supermajority of Democrats and in Assembly a lower house where 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:54.720 it's the supermajority of Democrats, it doesn't matter. No, there's 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.200 no checks and balances. They can pass whatever they want 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.200 and often do without a single Republican showing up. That's 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.040 how they passed that fast food bill that jacked up 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:09.720 the price paid to minimum workers. Minimum wage workers in 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.280 fast food restaurants, and the day Gavin new Some signed 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:14.960 the bill before it went to effect wasn't going to 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.440 effect for several months. The day he signed at Pizza 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.760 Hut laid off twelve hundred drivers. Hello, this thing on. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.919 And one study has said that since that law has 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.720 gone into effect, over ten thousand fast food workers have 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:31.919 lost their jobs, and prices for the products sold at 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:35.240 fast food restaurants now up nine percent, which means you 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.520 are really getting shafted if you were on a fixed income. 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:41.320 Have any of these democrats said, you know what, maybe 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:47.400 we got that wrong. Nobody did, but the voters. There 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:51.600 was about an initiative to put the minimum wage that 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.679 was set for fast food workers to everybody else, and 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.639 the voters turned it down because they saw what happened. 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.560 This is a kind of nonsense going on in this state. 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:10.399 California in the nineties pass an initiative to outlaw the 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:15.560 use of race in college admissions, university admissions for state schools, 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:22.960 hiring for government jobs, and for contracting in the passed 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.720 no use of race well a few years ago because 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.560 the state demographics have changed. Now the largest ethnic group 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:34.320 in California are Hispanics. They soon do now trying to 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:40.520 reintroduce initiative to repeal that proposition, and the side that 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.600 wanted to use race based preferences outspent the other side 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.080 by a factor I f almost five or ten to one. 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:49.639 I forget what it was. And left wing California is 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.919 voted against the use of race in college admissions and 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:56.679 in hiring and in contracting, but the La Times endorsed it, 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.600 just as the LA Times endorsed Mayor Bass over Rick Caruso, 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.120 a longtime Republican turned Independent turned Democrat who had all 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.840 sorts of wonderful ideas about housing guy as a developer. 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.200 Very successful, he spent one hundred million dollars of his 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.800 own money versus ten million that she spent her that 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:19.720 she raised, although many more in kind contributions by union 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.720 officials and union workers and the newspapers that endorsed her, 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.159 but he outspent her ten to one and lost by 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:31.959 nine points. Fifteen percent of LA residents are Republican, as 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.200 opposed to thirty percent thirty years ago when they elected 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.399 a Republican mayor. It's almost impossible. So any dumb idea 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.639 outside of California has already been tried twice here in California. 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.879 More on the Democrats, Socialists, We Come Back Triple eight 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.600 nine to seventy one Sage, do not leave Town. 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:02.359 Half a century later, Watergates still shapes how Americans view power, 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:07.640 scandal and trust. This weekend, the America two fifty film 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:14.040 series presents Watergates Secrets and Betrayals. Revisit the investigation through 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:19.480 archival footage, interviews, and new arguments about what happened. Launched 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.720 Saturday and Sunday at seven pm Eastern on Salem News Channel. 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.600 Triple eight nine seven one Sage Triple eight nine seven 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:32.560 one seven two four to three. I am Larry Elder. 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.560 We are Salem News Channel. I want to ask George 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.000 and Frankin Leslie to hold on. Let me just say 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:41.560 a few more things before I go to the phones. 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.200 As you know, Zoran Mom Dammi wants to put a 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.600 government owned grocery store, one in each of the five 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:54.840 boroughs in New York. Says that New Yorkers will soon 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.639 enjoy a thirty percent discount on their meat, seafood, milk, 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.560 and bread as long as they shop at a city store. 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:03.920 They went back and forth as to whether or not 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.520 you have to show proof that you are a New 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:10.480 York City resident before you get into the store. Mandami's 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.879 point person on this said yes. Mamdami said no, So 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:18.960 I'm not quite sure what that means. Just reading about 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:23.680 when the then Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev during the Cold 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.080 War came here and saw an American grocery store, was 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:32.520 blown away by the amount of a variety of goods 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:36.400 that were available. Couldn't believe it. A few years later, 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:42.520 there was a Soviet cosmonaut who toured a Safeway store 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:48.560 in San Francisco was equally blown away. Many of the 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.119 people coming here to America a few weeks ago to 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:56.960 watch the FIFA World Cup were also just stunned at 0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:02.480 the abundance of goods available at grocery stores, convenience stores, 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:06.200 and of course the air conditioning that is just commonplace here. 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:13.960 So regarding the government stores that mam Dami is setting up, 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.000 they want to pay rent. They're getting their goods at 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:25.640 a discount, meaning the government is suppidizing the purchase. And 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:30.760 there are eleven hundred grocery stores in the city of 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:34.439 New York and ten thousand so called bodegas, some of 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:38.919 which are near where these five stores are proposed to 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:45.120 be built, and they of course are being shafted. City 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.040 has already spent an estimated seventy million dollars to set 0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:51.960 up the stores. So if you're making them to sell 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:55.280 things at a loss, which means the New York taxpayers 0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:59.440 are suppodizing these stores. And if you're paying taxes and 0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:03.840 you're operating a competing store, you're suppardizing your competitor. How 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:11.200 stupid is that there is an organization called Multicultural Business 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:16.800 Coalition Board, and they're filing a lawsuit to block these 0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:21.439 government stores. And these are often people who are black 0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:26.920 and brown, Asian, African, Caribbean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and Jewish 0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:35.040 owned stores. The organization includes fifty Chambers of Congress representing them, 0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:41.320 and the president of United Bodegas of America said, having 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.600 items that sell for thirty percent less than our prices 0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:44.560 means nobody will come. 0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:45.159 To our stores. 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:54.920 So these stores selling subsidized goods being paid for by 0:24:54.960 --> 0:25:02.800 their competitors in part, will put their competitors out of business. Now, 0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.679 the net profit margin on these stories big ones and 0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:11.320 small ones range from one percent to three percent, meaning 0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:15.640 they're very difficult to run. One of the reasons that 0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:19.720 there's so many bodegas with family members there is because 0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.080 a lot of family members are working at or below 0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.680 minimum wages or sometimes even for free their family run. 0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:30.240 The margins are that thin, and you really think that 0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:32.879 a store, by the way, it's going to be operated privately, 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:36.560 but government supervised will be able to run it more 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:45.399 efficiently than these private sector people. We've had one in 0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:48.480 Kansas City that was government on run and pretty soon 0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:50.159 ran out of all the goods and they shut it 0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:53.320 down with a big disaster. And the only way this 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:56.560 will continue to work it's because more and more tax 0:25:56.600 --> 0:26:00.159 dollars will be pumped into it to keep it all 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:02.720 set up. So on the surface it looked just fine 0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:06.320 for a while. They tried it in Venzu Whale. You 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:10.159 know what happened black market. If you're selling stuff at 0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:13.160 thirty percent below fair market value, a lot of people 0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:15.360 working in the stores and distributors just took them, went 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:17.600 across the border and sold them for a higher price 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.720 and made money. And that's what's going to happen here. 0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:24.840 It's gonna be a massive black market. Lots of theft. 0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:28.600 You're gonna run out of the supplies, and then they're 0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.199 going to somehow figure out some way of blaming it 0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:35.040 on the other competitors, and if Trump is still office, 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:41.639 blaming it on Trump. These people have not even so 0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.720 much as run a lemonade stand, and here they are 0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:50.800 telling grocery store owners that you're charging too much.

I'll see you there. 0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:11.760 Okay. So here's my idea for either like billboards or 0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:15.760 t shirts. We should put something that says, why have 0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:20.440 GLP won the fat drug when we can have socialism 0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:22.240 where everyone will be starving. 0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:24.560 I like it. 0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:30.480 I think that would be awesome because this is where, 0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:32.520 you know, I have a granddaughter that's going to be three, 0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:34.880 and I'm worried that she's going to be in breadlines 0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:36.080 one day. 0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:38.680 Well, Leslie, thank you so much for the call for 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:41.440 the suggestion, and please look me up at the town hall. 0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:44.920 See you there. Carol is in Prescott, Wisconsin. Carl you 0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:45.840 and Lario to show. 0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:51.080 Yeah, I'm on bumper to bumper traffic too in Wisconsin. 0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:53.680 I want to ask you, no one has brought this up. 0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:58.520 We have monies to give to all of our kids, 0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:02.680 and a lot of them believe in the socialism communism. 0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:07.680 They won't get our inheritance if they believe in that. 0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:11.480 I mean, if that happens Why doesn't anyone talk about 0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:14.600 don't will get their parents' inheritance money? 0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:17.280 Yeah, Carol, they haven't thought it through. Thank you so 0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:18.720 much for the call. I said the same way about 0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:22.120 these colleges and universities. These left wing schools have these 0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:28.400 massive endowments. Where do they think get the money? Somebody graduates, 0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:34.920 starts a company, does an invention, and gets fabulously wealthy 0:30:34.960 --> 0:30:37.040 and gives a lot of money to the school so 0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:41.120 kids can learn to be socialists when the money that 0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:44.440 they're getting and spending was not created because the socialism 0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:50.120 was created because of the free market system. It's just 0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:58.600 the lack of just thinking things through is really mind boggling. 0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.680 We're gonna talk about why this is next hour because 0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:07.440 I have a theory. George is in Santa Barbara, Georgia 0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:09.000 and the Lario the show. Thank you for calling. 0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:13.280 Hey, Well, thanks for taking my call, Larry. I wanted 0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:16.680 to give you a little insight onto the housing crisis 0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:21.720 problems in California. I have a Propeene delivery guy that's 0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:26.560 your typical good old boy, second or third generation Mexican American, 0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:30.600 and he's complaining to me that he couldn't buy a 0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:34.600 house because he keeps getting outbid by illegal immigrants that 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:39.200 group up two or three families and outbid him for 0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:42.440 home and he's been trying for three or four years, 0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.520 five years. And I just found it so ironic that 0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:49.400 this typical Mexican American kid that probably you and I 0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:54.120 kind of grew up with in La, he's complaining about 0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:58.120 illegal immigrants outbidding him for houses up here, and he's 0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:00.320 been trying for years, and he's got a great job. 0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:03.840 But he said that the banks will actually loan them money. 0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:09.320 George, did you happen to ask him who he voted for? No? 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:12.560 I didn't, but that's the next time he makes it delivery, 0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:13.480 I'm going to get into it. 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:16.360 Yeah, ask him, is he voting for the very same 0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:18.440 people who are causing him to have this kind of 0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:22.400 affordability problem. I just saw a study that said in 0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:26.600 the four years under Joe Biden, because of these millions 0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:30.400 and millions of illegal aliens came into the country, rent 0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:35.080 went up twenty percent and home prices went up thirty percent. 0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:39.040 So because of all these illegal aliens, the very same 0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:43.760 people who voted for it Joe Biden were experiencing higher 0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:48.080 cost living in renting and buying a home. Is this 0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:51.760 thing on and in La County, I'm not saying it's 0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:55.240 happening all over California. Rents have gone down in price. 0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:58.800 Why because so many illegal aliens have been either deported 0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:03.120 or in feared it have self deported, leaving all sorts 0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:06.400 of vacancy, vacancies that we didn't have before. What does 0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:09.880 that tell you? And then the very same people, the 0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:15.680 pull that lever for that party, will go BMW about affordability. 0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.400 It just drives you insane. And with their answer, of course, 0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:22.760 tax the rich, causing more and more rich people to 0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:26.680 leave California and states like New York and Illinois. Which 0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:30.040 is why even Gavin Newsom does not support the so 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.520 called wealth tax that's going to be on the ballot 0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.440 here in California, and the polls show it is likely 0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:39.560 to pass. It is supposed to be a one time 0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:43.160 five percent tax on the net worth of billionaires, and 0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:46.640 believe me, it's not going to be one time, which 0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:51.680 will only increase the exodus of people like Elon Muski 0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:54.600 used to live here, Peter Till billionaire used to live here, 0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:58.440 and others who used to live here. And as I 0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:01.840 said earlier, the top one percent account for fifty percent 0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:04.160 of all the state income taxes here in California, which 0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:06.760 is a number one source of revenue. So all you're 0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:09.000 doing is chasing out the very same people that you 0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:12.160 rely on for all the goods and services and all 0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:17.040 the wellfare schemes that you want here in California. It's idiotic, 0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:23.840 it's insane. And what do we do well? The mayor 0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:25.920 of la who's already a left wing it's facing a 0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:28.319 very serious challenge from somebody who's even more left wing, 0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:32.319 a member of the Democrats, Sources of America and the 0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:38.560 opponent that Steve Hilton's running against, Javier Bassera. When asked 0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:41.000 what gray would he give Gavin Nusome on homelessness during 0:34:41.000 --> 0:34:46.319 the debate, he said to give him an a And 0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:52.600 what's his plan tax the rich? Even Bill Maher complained 0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:57.080 that he was paying. This was before the the wealth 0:34:57.080 --> 0:35:00.480 tax gets passed. Bill Maher is not a bill at 0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:04.279 least not yet, but he complained. Bill Maher did that 0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:08.600 he's paying sixty percent of his income in taxes because 0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:10.680 he doesn't have under an income. He has regular income 0:35:10.800 --> 0:35:15.759 like most people do. Sixty percent complained about it, and 0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:23.040 they want people like that to pay even more so, 0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.880 Tuesday was a really big day for people like Abdul 0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:28.879 l SII. We're going to talk about him, or talk 0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:33.600 more about the DSA and about the assertion that government 0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:39.239 can run private businesses better than private individuals can. Now, 0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:42.120 when it comes to supplements, two things matter most that 0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.560 it works, that you can trust it. Rather than just 0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:46.960 tell you about Relief Factor, we'll let our customers do it. 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:49.840 We hear from people every single day whose lives have change. 0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:54.400 We'd like to hear you tell your story. Chris, for example, 0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:57.279 had spent years doing physical work, leaving its feet sore. 0:35:57.320 --> 0:35:59.640 At the end of the day. After starting relief Factor, 0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:01.880 he felt so good. He did something he hadn't done before. 0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:04.520 He ran a half marathon. Now he tells his friends 0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:07.320 about Relief Factor. I have back issues. I take relief 0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:09.800 Factor every single day.

I don't 0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:55.200 think we should expand the Supreme Court. However, weren't it 0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:58.680 be fun just to say, like, hey, what a great idea. 0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:01.880 The Democrats are right, we should expand the Supreme Court, 0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:05.200 and then we should just be fun to see the reaction. 0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:07.799 Wouldn't it be just fun to see what they would do. 0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:11.160 React like, We're gonna expand it right now. Trump is 0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:13.879 going to expand it. Okay, have a good day. 0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:16.600 Yeah, I have such a wonderful idea. Let's expand it 0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:20.360 right now. Triple eight nine seven one s hGe Triple 0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:22.160 eight nine seven one seven two four to three. I 0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.560 am Larry Elder. We are saling the news channel, coming 0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:26.400 to you from the Relief Actor studio. Don't forget your 0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:28.600 Relief Factor eight hundred four Relief eight hundred and number 0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:31.040 four Relief. There is a lot I want to get 0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:35.279 to between now and the close of the program. We're 0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:38.360 gonna talk a little bit more about the DSA, about socialism, 0:37:38.360 --> 0:37:42.840 and about the rise in these candidates like Abdul l 0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:46.160 Sid who is the Democrat candidate who won its primary 0:37:46.160 --> 0:37:49.120 by the way, he just barely wanted. I saw one 0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:51.560 poll the head of ahead of buy ten points. He 0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:55.000 won by looks like one percent, maybe a little under 0:37:55.000 --> 0:38:00.720 one percent. I didn't know that much about his rival candidate, 0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:02.120 but what I heard is that she was just a 0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:05.799 lousy campaigner, had no Christma, no spark, no nothing, and 0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:13.839 she almost won. The Republican Mike Rogers, who ran unopposed. 0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:19.160 One poll has him ahead by ten points. So it 0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:25.920 appears at least at this stage that Abdul l sayad 0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:28.880 victory rather than the other victory. The victory of his 0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:32.719 opponent named Stevens is better news for Republicans because he 0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:34.480 looks like he'll be easier to beat. In the state 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:39.640 of Michigan, we'll see a former Medicaid official claims that 0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:45.480 states are not committing fraud? Are you serious? Not Minnesota, 0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:52.840 not California. Senator Kennedy was not amused, and the Democrats 0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:56.080 are not only refusing to denounce Hassan Piker, the DSA 0:38:56.160 --> 0:38:59.759 member who says that hamas is a thousand times better 0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:04.200 than Israel. I repeat, Hamas is a thousand times better 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:07.840 than Israel. Not only are they not denouncing him, with 0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:11.759 the exception of John Felderman, they're embracing him, or they're 0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:16.560 scared to say anything. Take Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer used 0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:21.360 to say that the boycott divest sanction movement against Israel 0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:26.040 was anti Semitic. One of the big platform planks of 0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:33.080 the DSA is boycott, divest sanction from Israel. Schumer has 0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:42.560 not called Thorn Mamdani anti semitic. Also, the stock market 0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:46.800 record highs again today. A Reagan economist said that the 0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:51.279 economy national economy is doing great. A w NBA coach 0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:52.920 said trans women should be able to play in the 0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:56.799 w NBA, and we're gonna go down memory lane about 0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:58.640 the time the Great Olderby was fact checked by one 0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:01.200 of these left wing organizations. Talked about taxes paid by 0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:06.239 Americans in nineteen hundred versus taxes paid today, And a 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:09.440 w NBA star named Angel Reese, who is black. So 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:10.920 the reason it's important for her to be a role 0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:12.560 model is because there were no black dolls when she's 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.480 a little girl. Really, we're gonna fact. 0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:27.640 Check that I'm Larry Elder, but let's get her teed 0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:31.040 up off to my. 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:36.239 SUBDG. 0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:39.040 You can't succeed. 0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:39.600 With lt. 0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:44.360 Triple eight nine seven one s a g E triple 0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.520 eight nine seven one seven two four three.

Don't forget your Relief Factor 0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:55.000 eight hundred four Relief eight hundred the number four Relief. 0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:59.839 Continuing our discussion about the success the DSA candidates had 0:41:00.480 --> 0:41:04.560 on Tuesday night and about the growing number of Democrats 0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:09.720 who prefer socialism over capitalism, and it stems in large 0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:14.000 part because a lot of these politicians and people that 0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:17.840 are supporting them have never so much as run a 0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:21.480 hot dog stand. They have no idea how difficult it 0:41:21.520 --> 0:41:25.000 is to make a buck given the competition that is 0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:32.480 inherent in capitalism. We're talking about the very small margins 0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:36.800 out of all the revenues from these stores. The average 0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:41.080 profit margin is one to three percent of revenue. That's 0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:46.320 a small margin. You have excessive theft, you have excessive 0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:49.279 labor turnover, and generally speaking, labor is fifty percent or 0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:52.080 so of the cost of running any business, and there 0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:59.160 goes your profit margin. My father, who ran a small 0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:04.480 cafe near downtown in LA for something like thirty five years, 0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:10.920 was talking to my uncle, his brother in law, who 0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:17.040 was professor at a prominent university. And my uncle decided 0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:20.920 to start a restaurant near the university because he assumed 0:42:20.920 --> 0:42:24.319 that the kids were there. They wanted fast food, they 0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:28.920 wanted kind of food that my dad serves, and my 0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:32.080 uncle thought that he would open up a restaurant because 0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:36.200 of this almost captive audience. So he's talking to my 0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:40.880 father about it. My dad listened and answered a few questions, 0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:44.520 and then my uncle got up and left. My Dad 0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:48.799 said he's going to lose his shirt, and I said why. 0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:51.880 He says, he has no idea how difficult this is. 0:42:52.239 --> 0:42:56.640 He thinks he can just hire somebody not be involved 0:42:56.640 --> 0:42:58.439 in a hands on the way and it'll run well, 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:04.319 he said, won't. My uncle got the restaurant and he 0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:07.600 had a great deal of difficulty running it, and eventually 0:43:07.640 --> 0:43:09.360 he had to sell it because he couldn't make a profit. 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.680 I worked with my dad for years. The man got 0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:18.000 up at four and when I work with him on 0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:21.960 Saturdays and on summers. We then drove to a supply 0:43:22.040 --> 0:43:24.200 place where he got straws, He got this, he got that, 0:43:25.600 --> 0:43:29.440 and then we got there and my dad made biscuits, 0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:34.080 homemade biscuits. It was almost like a scientist. He had 0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:37.120 scales with little weights on them, put the sugar and 0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:38.880 the flour and this and then that. It was really 0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:43.520 intricate watching him set this up. Every place in this 0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:47.760 little when I say restaurant was really a diner, imagine 0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:52.319 an aluminum box and seats around it, and the grill 0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:58.440 right in the center, and every place had a purpose. 0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:01.319 Straw straws were here, dogs were here, Bacon was here. 0:44:02.840 --> 0:44:05.160 My dad initially had salt shakers, but people would steal 0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:08.759 the salt shakers, so he put little salt pack packets. 0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:12.840 Same thing with jam. People would often steal the little 0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:17.040 glass cups. My dad would now then little packets. Everything 0:44:18.840 --> 0:44:21.120 changed over the years. He would always look for ways 0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:27.680 of improving, saving money, being more efficient. And he opened 0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:32.799 at six thirty, not six thirty one, not six twenty nine, 0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:37.200 at six thirty on the dot, closed at two thirty, 0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:41.760 not two thirty one, not two twenty nine, two thirty 0:44:41.800 --> 0:44:44.839 on the dot, And don't let a fly get into 0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:48.960 the restaurant. It was all hands on deck to get 0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:50.279 rid of the fly because he did not want the 0:44:50.280 --> 0:44:53.720 fly to be past during the customers. And the food 0:44:54.040 --> 0:45:02.200 was wonderful. He baked his own pies, cherry pie, pecan pie, 0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:07.319 sweep per table pie. He baked his own cakes, cherry cake, 0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:14.400 German chocolate cake, and they were wonderful. And it was 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:17.680 in a lousy location. It allows you, I mean in 0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:21.160 a residential area because we lived in the house where 0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:23.640 the restaurant was. My dad tore down the house because 0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:26.439 it was zoned for light industry, so you could build 0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:29.080 a restaurant there. But because there was no real traffic 0:45:29.760 --> 0:45:32.280 on either side, you had to know about the restaurant 0:45:32.400 --> 0:45:34.759 to go there, so it's all word of mouth. You 0:45:34.760 --> 0:45:36.960 couldn't drive by on busy street and see the restaurant. 0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:41.279 It's pull over, which is why you see most restaurants 0:45:41.280 --> 0:45:44.400 in busy streets because a lot of the traffic it's 0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:47.360 people look up, see the sign. They pulled in. It 0:45:47.440 --> 0:45:51.440 was a loudly look at location. Always lousy location. Because 0:45:51.440 --> 0:45:55.280 the food was so good During rush hour, which between 0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:57.919 eleven thirty and one was standing room only, and people 0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:01.040 would be calling on the phone to order things. They 0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:08.840 could pick up. It's a very popular restaurant, and my 0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:14.680 dad retired. He was eighty two when he retired, and 0:46:14.719 --> 0:46:17.759 so he wanted to sell it, and I had a 0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:22.160 legal work, so he got a lawyer for free, and 0:46:22.200 --> 0:46:25.719 I said, Dad, don't think that whoever you sell this 0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:28.440 to will be able to run this restaurant profitably. He 0:46:28.440 --> 0:46:31.840 said why, I said, no one's going to put the care, tender, 0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:34.560 loving care that you put into this. No one will. 0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:40.040 My dad worked five and a half days and then 0:46:40.080 --> 0:46:42.239 on Sundays he came in and did stuff that he 0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:45.960 wouldn't couldn't do during the week. I said, no one 0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:48.440 is going to put this kind of time. That's kind 0:46:48.440 --> 0:46:50.960 of care, it's kind of attention to detail that you've done. 0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:58.440 And so we sold it to a nonprofit organization that 0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:02.920 wanted to run the restaurant so that people who were 0:47:04.280 --> 0:47:08.760 how can I put it, delinquents or had just gotten 0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:10.719 out of prison would have somewhere they could learn how 0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:13.480 to do a trade. And so I made sure in 0:47:13.840 --> 0:47:17.560 the agreement that if the restaurant failed and they couldn't 0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:21.279 pay their balanced, we got it back. Because I knew 0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:24.080 it wasn't going to run, I said, Dad, it's going 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:29.520 to last maybe maybe two months. It lasted a month. 0:47:30.560 --> 0:47:33.319 My father used to tell me, you serve somebody a 0:47:33.360 --> 0:47:37.400 wonderful meal, and they'll tell five people. You serve somebody 0:47:37.440 --> 0:47:41.279 allows a meal, they'll tell twenty five people. So it 0:47:41.320 --> 0:47:44.400 wasn't long before they began serving meals. It did not 0:47:44.520 --> 0:47:46.880 come close to the quality of my father's and it 0:47:46.920 --> 0:47:51.319 didn't take long. So we took it back and we 0:47:51.360 --> 0:47:53.359 sold it again, this time to somebody who wasn't using 0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:55.240 the building to run the restaurant, but using the building 0:47:55.239 --> 0:48:00.600 to run something else. The building is still there. My 0:48:00.680 --> 0:48:05.160 father had retired and after a few years, I said, Dad, 0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:06.600 you want to go down to the restaurant just say 0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:10.280 hello to the people around there. And he said okay. 0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:14.520 So we drove and I said, Dad, you want to 0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:16.400 get out of the car. He said, no, you just 0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:19.600 go in and say hello. So I went in and 0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:22.720 the guy running the place, he was used to repair 0:48:23.120 --> 0:48:28.120 appliances like refrigerators and stoves, things like that. So I 0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:31.000 walked in and I said, I'm randof eldest son. He 0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:32.239 goes your Randy son. 0:48:32.400 --> 0:48:32.839 Is he here? 0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:35.439 I said, yeah, he's out in the outside in the car. 0:48:36.280 --> 0:48:38.680 So he came out, neighbors came out, and they treated 0:48:38.719 --> 0:48:40.799 him like he was a rock star, which coming back 0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:45.920 to give up performance, by the way. My dad owned 0:48:46.000 --> 0:48:48.719 the restaurant property and then a property next to it 0:48:48.760 --> 0:48:50.480 where he rented it out to a woman who was 0:48:50.480 --> 0:48:54.759 still living there with her family. And it was in 0:48:54.760 --> 0:48:58.920 an area called Pico Union, which was and is heavily 0:48:59.000 --> 0:49:05.959 Hispanic and became very, very gang oriented. And even though 0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:09.239 the neighborhood had changed and more and more people were 0:49:09.239 --> 0:49:15.120 members of gangs, my father was never robbed. A couple 0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:17.240 of times people broke in when the restaurant was closed 0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:19.400 at night, but my father was never robbed at gunpoint. 0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:21.040 No one ever came in and held him up ever. 0:49:23.520 --> 0:49:25.760 And while there was some graffiti painted on the building 0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:31.520 from time to time, not very much. My father gave 0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:35.239 these kids in the neighborhood free ice cream, and they 0:49:35.239 --> 0:49:37.520 would be lining up on hot days for ice cream cones, 0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:39.520 and I'd be out there scooping up become my dad 0:49:39.520 --> 0:49:41.520 told me to And I asked my dad why he 0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:42.920 did that. He said, well, because I when I was 0:49:42.920 --> 0:49:44.640 a kid, I had no money whatsoever, and on hot 0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:46.520 days I would have loved for somebody to have given 0:49:46.520 --> 0:49:50.160 me an ice cream cone. So these kids loved my grandfather, 0:49:50.239 --> 0:49:54.239 my father, so over the years the kids have grown up, 0:49:55.080 --> 0:49:58.000 some of them became gang members, but they made sure 0:49:58.320 --> 0:50:02.640 nobody messed with my dad. My father would leave the 0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:06.960 restaurant every night with over a thousand dollars in cash, 0:50:07.040 --> 0:50:10.560 and there'd be two people sitting on his car, kind 0:50:10.560 --> 0:50:13.160 of unsavory looking people, if they can put it that way. 0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:16.080 My dad would hand one of them the money. My 0:50:16.160 --> 0:50:18.480 dad would take his keys, open the trunk, the guy 0:50:18.480 --> 0:50:20.600 would hand my dad back the money. My dad would 0:50:20.600 --> 0:50:21.960 put it in the trunk and he would drive off 0:50:22.000 --> 0:50:25.239 if wanted to make sure nobody mess with him. My 0:50:25.320 --> 0:50:28.200 point is, this is what it takes to run a 0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:34.000 business successfully. And people that are professors or read a 0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:37.120 book in college never really had a real job like 0:50:37.160 --> 0:50:40.279 mom and Dommy although he was a rapper, they have 0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:43.000 no idea what it takes to run a business. And 0:50:43.080 --> 0:50:45.399 to sit there and just say that people are paying 0:50:45.440 --> 0:50:48.879 too much when the profit margins are that thin because 0:50:48.920 --> 0:50:51.240 of all the competitions, shows that you were absolutely clueless 0:50:51.239 --> 0:50:54.600 about how to run a business. And you're going to 0:50:54.680 --> 0:50:59.600 tell health care how it should be run grocery stores 0:50:59.640 --> 0:51:04.560 how they be run. It's absolutely insulting to people that 0:51:04.600 --> 0:51:06.880 bust their butt. And if you're going to make a profit, 0:51:06.880 --> 0:51:10.240 you're not working forty hours, You're working sixty eighty sometimes 0:51:10.280 --> 0:51:14.759 one hundred hours a week. Now when it comes to supplements, 0:51:15.120 --> 0:51:18.440 two things matter most that it works, that you can 0:51:18.480 --> 0:51:21.120 trust it. Rather than just tell you about relief Factor, 0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:23.239 we let our customers do it. We hear from people 0:51:23.360 --> 0:51:25.640 every single day whose lives have changed, and we'd like 0:51:25.640 --> 0:51:28.080 you to hear a few of their stories. Jim ran 0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:31.759 out of relief Factor twice. Both times his aches, stiffness, 0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:35.439 and pain came back. Once he restarted it, he said 0:51:35.440 --> 0:51:37.880 he felt better again. As Jim puts it, you know 0:51:37.960 --> 0:51:40.360 something's working when you run out of it. I know 0:51:40.600 --> 0:51:43.560 the feeling on vacation. I've forgotten my relief Factor. I 0:51:43.560 --> 0:51:45.600 won't do that again. Now they make it easy to 0:51:45.600 --> 0:51:47.200 find out if you'll be the next person telling us 0:51:47.239 --> 0:51:49.600 relief Factor helped you tackle your daily aches and pain 0:51:50.239 --> 0:51:53.160 three weeks for just seventeen dollars and seventy six cents, 0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:56.840 just gote a Reliefactor dot com.

Thank you so 0:52:14.080 --> 0:52:16.520 much for the feedback a number of your calling reacting 0:52:16.520 --> 0:52:18.640 to what I said about my father. I could go 0:52:18.680 --> 0:52:22.319 on and on and on, but I but I won't. Now. 0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:26.399 Regarding these DSA people who've been winning these elections, keep 0:52:26.440 --> 0:52:29.759 in mind on their platform, as I said earlier, they 0:52:29.760 --> 0:52:33.000 support boycott the devest sanction against Israel that Chuck Schumer 0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:38.879 called anti Semitic. They refer to Israel as an apartheid state, 0:52:38.880 --> 0:52:41.920 that Israel is committing genocide. They want to get rid 0:52:41.960 --> 0:52:47.240 of the Senate. They want to expand the Supreme Court. 0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:52.880 They want the presidency to be elected by the House, 0:52:54.560 --> 0:53:00.640 defund the police, get rid of ICE. I think they 0:53:00.680 --> 0:53:04.960 want to want a thirty two hour work week with 0:53:05.000 --> 0:53:08.879 no reduction of course in pay, so you're forcing your 0:53:08.920 --> 0:53:12.480 employers to pay you more for less work because essentially, 0:53:12.520 --> 0:53:17.239 if that's what you'll be doing, and eventually several of 0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:24.600 them support communism. Dar Lisa no no see A Weaver, 0:53:24.880 --> 0:53:30.000 the tenant director for Toron Mom, Dammy once tweeted elect 0:53:30.640 --> 0:53:34.960 more communists. So several of them will tell you that 0:53:35.040 --> 0:53:37.399 the end game is, of course communism, which of course 0:53:37.480 --> 0:53:48.400 is the seizure of private property. So Pierce Morgan had 0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:55.239 a supporter of all this stuff, Bernie Sanders Express Express Secretary, 0:53:55.800 --> 0:53:58.000 and ticked off all these things they want to abolish, 0:53:58.040 --> 0:54:02.040 including the Pentagon prisons. So here's what happened, number forty six. 0:54:02.600 --> 0:54:05.719 It's very interesting your interpretation of what defund means, as 0:54:05.800 --> 0:54:10.640 Joe Walsh rightly says, the actual interpretation of defund the 0:54:10.680 --> 0:54:13.719 police or defund the Pentagon or whatever it may be, 0:54:13.880 --> 0:54:16.960 is you get rid of that institution and you replace 0:54:17.040 --> 0:54:17.879 it for something else. 0:54:18.360 --> 0:54:20.200 What you're talking what you will? 0:54:21.480 --> 0:54:24.600 Wait a minute in that way, Wait a minute, Wait 0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:27.120 a minute. So I'm asking you whether you mean a 0:54:27.280 --> 0:54:31.239 decrease in the amount that you fund these organizations with 0:54:31.560 --> 0:54:34.280 or do you believe in abolishing them? Would you abolish 0:54:34.360 --> 0:54:36.759 the police, would you abolish the Pentagon? 0:54:36.960 --> 0:54:41.000 Would you abolish prisons? Yes? No, yes, no yes. 0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.200 If you let me Brown enjoy great things, you can 0:54:43.200 --> 0:54:45.040 come on my show and you can debate my views 0:54:45.080 --> 0:54:46.880 at length. But I think what the viewers want. 0:54:46.719 --> 0:54:47.720 To answer my questions. 0:54:47.760 --> 0:54:48.520 That's why you're here. 0:54:49.360 --> 0:54:52.680 No, why were you DSA candidates and people who are 0:54:52.719 --> 0:54:55.160 running for office, not one forty old woman sitting in 0:54:55.160 --> 0:54:57.400 her apartment in Washington, d C. So what do you 0:54:57.440 --> 0:54:59.680 want to talk about? What the movements to defund the 0:54:59.680 --> 0:55:00.560 pentic on or about? 0:55:00.640 --> 0:55:03.359 Can you questions? Please wait? 0:55:03.440 --> 0:55:05.400 It's about It's about asking the question of whether or 0:55:05.440 --> 0:55:09.399 not we should continuously increase funding an unprecedent. 0:55:10.360 --> 0:55:10.720 Budget. 0:55:10.760 --> 0:55:13.200 It's not you're after defund me. 0:55:14.080 --> 0:55:17.080 That literally fails its audience and can't even account for 0:55:17.120 --> 0:55:17.880 where the money. 0:55:17.719 --> 0:55:21.719 Is going should be funded more. 0:55:22.560 --> 0:55:28.440 I'm money for defund means you abolish it. 0:55:30.880 --> 0:55:33.160 Let me try one more time. Let me try one 0:55:33.160 --> 0:55:33.560 more time. 0:55:33.600 --> 0:55:36.360 Given you don't know what defund actually means, I know 0:55:36.400 --> 0:55:38.239 what it means than you do. 0:55:38.360 --> 0:55:40.400 Peers, as evidenced by the fact that you chose to 0:55:40.400 --> 0:55:43.040 put it to abolish, because you can discern a distinct 0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:46.560 difference between those two terms defunding just like when when 0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:48.680 when when you Republicans said they want to defund the 0:55:49.200 --> 0:55:50.719 Department of Education, They want to. 0:55:50.640 --> 0:55:53.600 Defund things day and night. The whole point of DOGE. 0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:55.560 Was to defund the national government. And again I don't 0:55:55.560 --> 0:55:58.160 see all the handwriting about that the Pentagon. No one 0:55:58.160 --> 0:56:00.520 here can answer the direct question of whether they believe 0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:04.480 the Pentagon, which has an unprecedentedly large budget that cannot 0:56:04.600 --> 0:56:06.680 has an audit for nine years in a row. 0:56:06.719 --> 0:56:07.600 Okay, should get. 0:56:07.760 --> 0:56:09.040 Let me try, Let me try. 0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:10.399 Do you think that's the case? Joke? 0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:14.400 Oka, Brianna, Brianna, Brianna Brianna. 0:56:14.440 --> 0:56:17.120 Once again, it's my show, So I do the questions 0:56:17.200 --> 0:56:19.799 and then you answer them or you choose not to. 0:56:20.120 --> 0:56:23.160 I'm just going to repeat again whatever your interpretation of 0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:26.160 defund is, and you clearly have a different one to mine. 0:56:26.160 --> 0:56:29.040 In Joe's Okay, debate for one. 0:56:28.840 --> 0:56:33.520 Moment, Well, it actually means to stop providing money, or 0:56:33.520 --> 0:56:35.879 it can mean to reduce the amount of money. 0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:39.160 So it depends. 0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:40.560 But as you know, but as. 0:56:40.360 --> 0:56:43.120 You know, but as you know, in the general debate 0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:46.560 about this, it's been accepted that when people have said defund, 0:56:46.680 --> 0:56:49.399 they mean abolished. So let me just clarify with you 0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:53.880 what you personally believe. Would you in your utopia world, 0:56:54.200 --> 0:56:58.920 would you abolish the Pentagon, abolish the police, and abolish prisons. 0:56:59.080 --> 0:56:59.719 Yes or no? 0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:02.280 Here's this While that you talk about the general debate 0:57:02.280 --> 0:57:04.520 about this when you're the one hosting the debate and 0:57:05.080 --> 0:57:10.359 the question by posing questions, and so the questions, would 0:57:10.440 --> 0:57:13.680 you abolish rid up entirely? 0:57:14.080 --> 0:57:16.280 That is a clear answer to your question. 0:57:16.600 --> 0:57:21.000 Defund means decrease funding. Would you abolish means abolish entirely. 0:57:21.800 --> 0:57:22.200 Period. 0:57:22.240 --> 0:57:24.600 I'm asking you if you would abolish them? Would you 0:57:24.640 --> 0:57:25.520 abolish pair? 0:57:25.560 --> 0:57:28.400 Would I personally, Brianna Joy Gray, I know why you 0:57:28.440 --> 0:57:31.040 care because you're a guest on my show, because you 0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:34.160 want to make this a conversation about whatever I am. 0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:35.000 To the left way. 0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:36.880 I just want to know what you think. 0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:41.040 Why is this so difficultiating this is. 0:57:41.040 --> 0:57:43.520 A referendum on the actual dsay and the candidates. 0:57:43.600 --> 0:57:52.760 Brianna, Brianna, Brianna, Brianna, you were invited as a guest 0:57:52.840 --> 0:57:56.480 onto a panel to debate the future of the Democratic 0:57:56.560 --> 0:57:59.680 Party in lights of the rise of a democratic debate 0:57:59.720 --> 0:58:00.560 that I am. 0:58:00.440 --> 0:58:03.880 Asking you believe Democratic parton. 0:58:05.560 --> 0:58:07.920 Given that the Democratic given that are going to keep 0:58:07.920 --> 0:58:10.840 talking over you if you keep talking, given the Democratic 0:58:10.880 --> 0:58:11.760 Socialist came. 0:58:11.680 --> 0:58:15.080 Back a spouse espouse. 0:58:14.760 --> 0:58:17.960 A philosophy where they want to abolish all these institutions. 0:58:18.160 --> 0:58:22.640 I'm just asking you, Brianna, whether you personally would like 0:58:22.720 --> 0:58:27.440 to abolish the Pentagon, the police and prisons, yes or no? 0:58:27.880 --> 0:58:31.680 I Brianna think it's Brianna with a with a our sound. 0:58:31.920 --> 0:58:36.080 I think it's absolutely unconscionable. But you can say a 0:58:36.200 --> 0:58:38.560 kind of neely mouth yeah, I think. I think it 0:58:38.640 --> 0:58:41.800 was really much murdered American citizens in the street. But 0:58:41.880 --> 0:58:45.720 want to make this reference whether I one socialist? Yes 0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:48.000 or abolishing those programs? 0:58:49.000 --> 0:58:51.600 Yes, so long term goal. I just answered the question yes, 0:58:51.640 --> 0:58:55.040 so long the long term yes or no answer. 0:58:54.760 --> 0:59:00.680 Is affirmatively yes, yes, absolutely me Brianna went great, since 0:59:00.840 --> 0:59:04.120 the world is clamoring from my one woman's opinion. 0:59:04.040 --> 0:59:06.480 Absolutely do believe abolish the police. 0:59:06.280 --> 0:59:10.440 Abolish the Senate, abolish the Pentodon. I do not think 0:59:10.560 --> 0:59:14.920 the American war machine, which has caused unfathomable horrors across 0:59:14.960 --> 0:59:17.920 the globe for the entirety of all of our living memory, 0:59:18.160 --> 0:59:18.880 should persist. 0:59:18.960 --> 0:59:23.880 Got it, We've goton. We got it. I think the police, 0:59:23.920 --> 0:59:24.320 we got it. 0:59:24.400 --> 0:59:24.840 We got it. 0:59:24.960 --> 0:59:27.920 We got you on the record, we got it. 0:59:28.000 --> 0:59:33.080 We got it. 0:59:33.080 --> 0:59:36.440 It's okay, sorry, Brianna, just be clear you've agreed you 0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:37.280 would abolish thing. 0:59:38.440 --> 0:59:41.640 Wait a minute, Brianna, please stop talking you would abolish 0:59:41.640 --> 0:59:43.640 the pentagon on the police, and say what about prisons? 0:59:43.720 --> 0:59:44.720 Would you abolish prison? 0:59:45.200 --> 0:59:49.080 They're first on the list, just like the DSA. 0:59:49.280 --> 0:59:51.280 Right, Okay, let me go to all of it. 0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:53.880 No, it's all right, we've done, we're done. 0:59:54.120 --> 0:59:54.560 We're done. 0:59:56.320 --> 1:00:00.320 So she's on the record abolished the pentagon, call us 1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:07.280 the police, and abolished prisons. A ds A National Committee 1:00:07.280 --> 1:00:13.720 member refuse to answer the question whether non citizens who 1:00:13.840 --> 1:00:17.680 kill or rape should be deported. Stick around for that. 1:00:18.320 --> 1:00:20.760 Triple eight nine seven one s E g E. Triple 1:00:20.800 --> 1:00:39.560 eight nine seven one seven two four three Triple eight 1:00:39.640 --> 1:00:41.720 ninety seven one s A g E. Triple eight nine 1:00:41.800 --> 1:00:43.840 seven one seven two four to three. I am larryol 1:00:43.840 --> 1:00:47.760 Do we are Salem NewsChannel. This is a ds A 1:00:47.960 --> 1:00:55.439 National Political Committee member ask civil questions. Want to abolish ice? 1:00:56.560 --> 1:00:59.240 Do you believe that non citizens who kill or rape 1:00:59.320 --> 1:01:02.240 should be deport. 1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:03.680 Eight The vast majority of calls that go into the 1:01:03.680 --> 1:01:07.160 police are not about violent crime. They're not about dangerous 1:01:07.160 --> 1:01:10.960 situations where people would want protection from police. One thing 1:01:10.960 --> 1:01:13.440 that we can see is that when we expand unarmed 1:01:13.480 --> 1:01:16.240 crisis response, like we've done in Los Angeles, we decrease 1:01:16.280 --> 1:01:18.760 the costs that we're spending on police and policing in 1:01:18.800 --> 1:01:21.000 the city, and we improve the outcomes and we get 1:01:21.120 --> 1:01:23.840 people who are suffering from you know, severe mental illness 1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:26.560 or you know what, have you act the actual help 1:01:26.600 --> 1:01:28.600 that they need. So I think there are way better 1:01:28.640 --> 1:01:29.320 ways to. 1:01:29.320 --> 1:01:33.840 Makes Do you think killers should go to prison? Francis, 1:01:33.920 --> 1:01:35.800 do you think killers should go to prisson? Rape if 1:01:35.840 --> 1:01:39.520 should go to pression? Especially you know non citizens should 1:01:39.560 --> 1:01:42.160 non citizens that are kill or rape should they be deported? 1:01:43.680 --> 1:01:45.080 I mean, you know who I think should go to 1:01:45.120 --> 1:01:48.160 prison or the people who are protecting the Jeffrey Epstein 1:01:48.200 --> 1:01:48.760 and people who are. 1:01:48.800 --> 1:01:50.760 Just aswer the question, do you think people should go 1:01:50.760 --> 1:01:53.000 to prison for being murderers? This is so simple you 1:01:53.000 --> 1:01:54.760 could just say yes, I mean you people should go to. 1:01:54.840 --> 1:01:57.640 Jail they kills from the billionaires who are stealing. 1:01:57.800 --> 1:01:58.640 Of course I relieved. 1:01:58.720 --> 1:02:05.240 So like Americans, you're not answering the question, Francis, she 1:02:05.280 --> 1:02:12.560 cannot say say yeah. 1:02:08.640 --> 1:02:08.720 So. 1:02:10.360 --> 1:02:14.520 You won't say whether a non citizen who kills or 1:02:14.640 --> 1:02:19.760 rape should be deported. Well, I think that the Epstein file, well, 1:02:19.800 --> 1:02:27.720 I think billionaires who cheat well, I think Bernie Sanders says, 1:02:27.720 --> 1:02:31.480 people like Hassan Piker keep in mind, not only, of 1:02:31.520 --> 1:02:34.400 course he's he supporting boycott, divest, sanction against Israel. Not 1:02:34.400 --> 1:02:37.920 only he's calling Israel apartheid state. Not only easy accusing 1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:43.640 Israel of committing genocide, he also said that Hamas is 1:02:43.680 --> 1:02:49.439 a thousand times better than Israel and Hassan Piker said 1:02:50.000 --> 1:02:54.600 America deserved nine to eleven apart from that number thirty. 1:02:54.360 --> 1:02:59.919 Five supporting an extremist Net and Yahoo government that many 1:03:00.080 --> 1:03:02.440 must believe have committed genocide. Do you want to be 1:03:02.480 --> 1:03:04.560 in a party with people who do that? Do you 1:03:04.600 --> 1:03:06.960 want to be in a party which has not stood 1:03:07.040 --> 1:03:10.600 up to the AI industry because they got a lot 1:03:10.640 --> 1:03:14.000 of money from AI or from crypto? So you could pick, 1:03:14.280 --> 1:03:16.640 you know, you can pick whatever you want to pick. 1:03:17.360 --> 1:03:19.320 But I think we need a big tent, and I 1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:22.320 think people like Pika I should be welcome into that. Certainly. 1:03:23.240 --> 1:03:26.160 What about when Piker said that America deserved nine to 1:03:26.160 --> 1:03:27.600 eleven Bernie number thirty six? 1:03:28.120 --> 1:03:31.440 Are you comfortable with Outside'd having a close association with 1:03:31.520 --> 1:03:35.520 him given some of his past statements. To give you 1:03:35.520 --> 1:03:38.640 an example, one of them more controversial ones is that 1:03:38.760 --> 1:03:42.160 Piker has said America deserved nine to eleven. Are you 1:03:42.200 --> 1:03:43.720 comfortable with that association? 1:03:44.440 --> 1:03:45.040 No, I am not. 1:03:45.360 --> 1:03:46.640 I think that's a dumb statement. 1:03:46.720 --> 1:03:48.200 On the other hand, he has a whole lot. 1:03:48.120 --> 1:03:50.000 Of followers, and there's a lot of things that he's 1:03:50.040 --> 1:03:51.240 saying that are making sense to. 1:03:51.200 --> 1:03:51.800 A lot of people. 1:03:51.960 --> 1:03:54.760 I think, you know, we have to get above cancel culture. 1:03:55.040 --> 1:03:58.120 You know, when you're doing radio whatever they do, podcasts 1:03:58.120 --> 1:04:00.880 three hours a day, you say dumb. I suspect if 1:04:00.880 --> 1:04:02.920 you go dot over your Korea there may be one 1:04:03.000 --> 1:04:05.600 or two things that you said that you may have regretted. 1:04:05.960 --> 1:04:08.240 But I think what we have got to do is 1:04:08.280 --> 1:04:10.920 look at the totality of where people are coming from 1:04:11.880 --> 1:04:13.320 and go we have. 1:04:13.280 --> 1:04:18.960 To get rid of cancel culture. But Donald Trump's the fascist, 1:04:19.000 --> 1:04:21.200 but that's not part of getting rid of cancel culture. 1:04:21.640 --> 1:04:25.040 Abdul l said, who won his primary again by one point, 1:04:25.880 --> 1:04:28.840 was asked whether he regrets having campaigned with Hassan Piker, 1:04:28.880 --> 1:04:31.400 the guy that said all the things I've said, including 1:04:34.120 --> 1:04:37.400 Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel. Here's what 1:04:37.440 --> 1:04:41.040 abdu el Sayed said, Number thirty nine. You know there's 1:04:41.080 --> 1:04:45.120 one other guy that you've campaigned with who's raised eyebrows. 1:04:45.560 --> 1:04:46.400 Hassan Piker. 1:04:46.600 --> 1:04:47.440 His eyebrows went up. 1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:51.240 Yes, I said, raised, dis I raised my eyebrows. 1:04:52.200 --> 1:04:54.080 Was campaigning with him A good idea. 1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:57.440 Look, I want to reach out to his viewers. He 1:04:57.560 --> 1:05:01.400 has a three million person platform. And there are things 1:05:01.560 --> 1:05:04.000 that Hassan and I disagree with if you watched any 1:05:04.040 --> 1:05:06.320 of our content together, and there are things. 1:05:06.200 --> 1:05:07.120 That he and I agree with. 1:05:07.640 --> 1:05:09.880 The question of whether or not we should be guaranteeing 1:05:09.920 --> 1:05:12.120 people healthcare or sending our money abroad to drop bombs 1:05:12.120 --> 1:05:14.000 on other people, we agree. I think we should be 1:05:14.000 --> 1:05:17.000 providing health care here. On the question of taking on 1:05:17.720 --> 1:05:20.560 the fascism of the Trump administration, we agree we should 1:05:20.560 --> 1:05:21.320 probably take that on. 1:05:23.720 --> 1:05:27.920 Van Jones of CNN said that Alpsaid's abdul al SAIDs 1:05:28.000 --> 1:05:32.400 victory shows Muslim kids they can they can be anything 1:05:32.440 --> 1:05:33.480 they want to be in America. 1:05:35.160 --> 1:05:35.560 This is. 1:05:38.080 --> 1:05:38.920 Number thirty seven. 1:05:39.080 --> 1:05:39.280 Yeah. 1:05:39.680 --> 1:05:42.640 I just wanted to oat to echo that if you 1:05:42.720 --> 1:05:45.720 are a young Muslim kid or an Arab kid, look 1:05:45.720 --> 1:05:48.760 at these numbers.

I'm Larry, Yelda, we 1:07:29.680 --> 1:07:33.240 are saleing News Channel. Nancy is in Philadelphia. Nancy. Always 1:07:33.320 --> 1:07:34.040 nice to hear from you. 1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:38.120 Hello, Larry, Hey, Nancy, can you hear me? 1:07:38.280 --> 1:07:40.560 I hear you? Fine, Listen. 1:07:41.040 --> 1:07:42.960 My comment might be a little bit out of sync 1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:46.080 because when your show is being aired live, that's not 1:07:46.160 --> 1:07:49.000 when we're hearing it on the East Coast, so it 1:07:49.000 --> 1:07:51.960 may be a little bit behind time. In any event, 1:07:52.360 --> 1:07:55.960 what I last heard you say was about Mandami and 1:07:56.000 --> 1:07:59.320 the bodegos, right, and obviously he wants to put them 1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:02.200 all out of busines because they're not pall off stores. 1:08:02.600 --> 1:08:02.920 Okay. 1:08:03.400 --> 1:08:05.760 And in addition, let's drive all the people who own 1:08:05.800 --> 1:08:09.040 a property that could be arguably worth a million dollars 1:08:09.120 --> 1:08:12.160 or more, which means nothing in New York City. Okay, 1:08:12.800 --> 1:08:14.959 Let's drive them all out too, so we can take 1:08:15.000 --> 1:08:17.800 over their properties. And this is a way to turn 1:08:17.920 --> 1:08:22.559 New York City into the Califate like London. Okay, And 1:08:22.600 --> 1:08:25.720 by the way, my personal belief is that everything that's 1:08:25.720 --> 1:08:28.799 happening right now is so that Hillary Clinton can step 1:08:28.840 --> 1:08:32.400 forward with all the money she'll get from Alex Soros, 1:08:32.400 --> 1:08:35.400 who's married to her second daughter, Huma Aberdeen, and she 1:08:35.520 --> 1:08:39.240 can step forward and say I'm the moderate Democrat. You know, 1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:42.800 you Republicans, you know, and you Trump supporters who don't 1:08:42.880 --> 1:08:47.200 like Trump and Donald Trump's a bad guy, and all 1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:49.519 you Democrats who don't like the crazies on the left. 1:08:49.760 --> 1:08:52.479 Now you can all vote for me, especially women. All 1:08:52.479 --> 1:08:54.920 the women should vote for Hillary because she'll never give 1:08:55.000 --> 1:08:59.640 up her dream of being president of the United States. No, 1:09:00.080 --> 1:09:02.559 hell has no fury like a Hilary scorn. 1:09:03.920 --> 1:09:08.120 Well, Nancy, thank you for calling. I do not doubt 1:09:08.160 --> 1:09:11.400 that Hillary would love to try it again. There's no 1:09:11.560 --> 1:09:16.400 way this version of the Democratic Party which supports her, 1:09:18.000 --> 1:09:23.240 she's not left wing enough, she is not crazy enough. 1:09:23.800 --> 1:09:27.760 She has said too many things about being a capitalist, 1:09:29.880 --> 1:09:33.880 so no, there's no way. Plus she's lost already and 1:09:33.960 --> 1:09:39.559 they want quote unquote fresh blood. The damage done to 1:09:39.760 --> 1:09:43.800 New York City, though I agree with you, it's going 1:09:43.800 --> 1:09:47.840 to be severe, and as I mentioned, the organization of 1:09:47.880 --> 1:09:55.320 bodega owners Asian, Latino, Jewish, Black, Hispanic or filing a 1:09:55.360 --> 1:09:59.040 lawsuit to try to stop this. Don't know whether they're 1:09:59.040 --> 1:10:01.840 going to be successful, but these are the people that 1:10:02.200 --> 1:10:05.120 people like bomb DOMI purport to care about quote unquote 1:10:05.160 --> 1:10:08.920 people of color, except for Jews. So it's really going 1:10:08.960 --> 1:10:11.160 to be interesting to find out how the media covers this. 1:10:14.000 --> 1:10:17.280 I talk about the fact that they're not paying rent, 1:10:18.320 --> 1:10:22.280 not paying taxes, getting their goods at a quote unquote 1:10:22.280 --> 1:10:27.120 discount because the government is paying for them, so that 1:10:27.200 --> 1:10:30.719 the people buying them can get him at thirty percent less, 1:10:31.320 --> 1:10:33.920 which means it's going to be a black market. And 1:10:33.960 --> 1:10:36.800 we'll find out how vigorously the New York Times and 1:10:36.840 --> 1:10:39.760 the others will be covering this, because it's going to 1:10:39.800 --> 1:10:47.840 be a disaster. Now. Michael Moore said he will get 1:10:47.840 --> 1:10:51.519 on his knees and beg for socialists to take off 1:10:51.560 --> 1:10:55.320 the Democratic Party. I forget Michael Morris net worth, but 1:10:55.640 --> 1:10:57.360 I think it's well over twenty million dollars. It's got 1:10:57.400 --> 1:10:59.320 a bunch of different houses. Number forty eight. 1:11:00.160 --> 1:11:04.599 Does there require a change in the establishment and in 1:11:04.640 --> 1:11:07.160 the way things are done, and to effectuate the changes. 1:11:06.920 --> 1:11:07.960 You want to see. 1:11:09.320 --> 1:11:11.040 If I could get on my knees and beg it 1:11:11.080 --> 1:11:13.559 would be for exactly what you just said, because we 1:11:13.640 --> 1:11:15.840 are not going to win the other way. We lost 1:11:15.880 --> 1:11:20.400 that way in twenty four. It's not going to happen 1:11:21.040 --> 1:11:23.040 if we allow this to happen. 1:11:23.200 --> 1:11:25.880 We are in charge of this and we need to 1:11:25.920 --> 1:11:26.479 get busy. 1:11:26.720 --> 1:11:33.200 Right now. Kid looking very good. Isy looks a little haggard. 1:11:33.920 --> 1:11:37.080 What is it with people like that? In James Carpon Now, 1:11:37.120 --> 1:11:39.839 following up on what Nancy said about the Ultimate Endgame, 1:11:40.000 --> 1:11:42.559 this is what Ted Cruz said about the alliance between 1:11:42.560 --> 1:11:44.840 the Muslim Brotherhood and the DSA Number forty nine. 1:11:46.040 --> 1:11:50.080 Does the Muslim Brotherhood also partner with political groups such 1:11:50.120 --> 1:11:52.160 as the Democratic Socialists. 1:11:51.640 --> 1:11:53.000 Of America, Yes, sure they do. 1:11:54.200 --> 1:11:58.080 Would you agree that this alliance between the Muslim Brotherhood 1:11:58.360 --> 1:12:02.800 and the DSSA, otherwise known as the Red Green Alliance, 1:12:03.800 --> 1:12:10.840 is based on a shared hatred of America, Israel, Western civilization, 1:12:11.040 --> 1:12:14.920 writ large, capitalism, and democracy. 1:12:15.439 --> 1:12:17.160 Yes, sir, I would, and I would go further as 1:12:17.200 --> 1:12:22.160 to say it's also united around a revolutionary objective advocating 1:12:22.200 --> 1:12:27.160 for the overthrow of the US Constitution. Let's Claypuck let's 1:12:27.160 --> 1:12:27.559 move to you. 1:12:30.520 --> 1:12:36.439 Debbie Dingle, who succeeded from her husband, Representative Dingle, who 1:12:36.479 --> 1:12:41.439 died Michigan, says, it's certain parts of the abdul Sayah 1:12:41.479 --> 1:12:46.439 platform that I don't support, but you know, we're in 1:12:46.560 --> 1:12:48.559 big ten forty three. 1:12:49.040 --> 1:12:53.080 Just in the last month, Sayed has said Israel should 1:12:53.080 --> 1:12:55.000 not exist as a Jewish state. 1:12:56.840 --> 1:12:59.599 I've known you, I've known you a long time. Can 1:12:59.640 --> 1:13:01.840 you support that? And if so, how. 1:13:02.000 --> 1:13:06.400 No, I categorically won't support that is has a right 1:13:06.479 --> 1:13:07.040 to exist. 1:13:07.120 --> 1:13:07.639 Then how. 1:13:09.240 --> 1:13:09.639 Him? 1:13:10.160 --> 1:13:15.040 If he is the candidate in November, Bill, I'm going. 1:13:15.000 --> 1:13:15.599 To be very blunt. 1:13:15.640 --> 1:13:16.960 There's going to be a lot of things that I 1:13:16.960 --> 1:13:18.840 don't agree with Mike projects on either. 1:13:18.920 --> 1:13:19.599 And I have. 1:13:20.160 --> 1:13:23.719 Told I have told him Bill exactly what I think. 1:13:23.760 --> 1:13:26.280 He then, you know, says well this, this or this, 1:13:26.400 --> 1:13:27.719 I'm going to get him on record. 1:13:28.720 --> 1:13:32.439 So somebody who says Israel should not exist in its 1:13:32.520 --> 1:13:42.040 present constitution, Israel is apartheid state, Israel's committing genocide Hamas 1:13:42.120 --> 1:13:54.080 is a thousand times better than Israel is better because 1:13:54.400 --> 1:14:01.320 well Trump, anything is better than Trump, guy who had 1:14:01.320 --> 1:14:04.000 a Nazi tattoo on his chest. Until the allegations from 1:14:04.000 --> 1:14:09.080 other women is better than Trump. A candidate who has 1:14:09.120 --> 1:14:14.680 tweeted her hostility towards interracial couples. I'm referring to dar 1:14:14.880 --> 1:14:22.040 Lisa Avila Chevalier is better than Trump.

I want to 1:16:22.280 --> 1:16:27.360 revisit that w NBA star Angel Reese, who happened to 1:16:27.360 --> 1:16:29.000 be black, said there were no black dolls when she 1:16:29.040 --> 1:16:31.679 was a little girl. She was born in two thousand 1:16:31.720 --> 1:16:34.479 and two. There were no black dolls before then. Just 1:16:34.520 --> 1:16:38.439 do a little fact check on that, and stock market 1:16:38.479 --> 1:16:41.680 hit record highs again. Today. A Reagan economist says a 1:16:42.000 --> 1:16:49.360 national economy is doing great. John Stewart interviewed John Fetterman 1:16:50.640 --> 1:16:56.720 and accused John Fetterman of somehow ignoring the fact that 1:16:56.960 --> 1:16:59.479 these left wing candidates and he have a whole lot 1:16:59.479 --> 1:17:03.280 in common, but his problem is their attitude towards Israel. 1:17:03.400 --> 1:17:07.679 Was John Stewart thinks it's a weird line to draw 1:17:08.000 --> 1:17:08.760 number thirty two. 1:17:09.760 --> 1:17:12.320 So for you, you could agree with them ninety percent, 1:17:12.439 --> 1:17:14.280 but Israel is the red line. 1:17:14.840 --> 1:17:17.680 Absolutely Israel for me, like, I can't ever turn my 1:17:17.760 --> 1:17:20.599 back to Israel after where it's at. 1:17:21.479 --> 1:17:23.439 And I mean no disrespect on this, but that is 1:17:23.479 --> 1:17:28.479 not our country. You're saying that these candidates may have 1:17:28.520 --> 1:17:31.000 great ideas for our economy. They may want to do 1:17:31.040 --> 1:17:32.960 the exact same thing you want to do in terms 1:17:33.000 --> 1:17:35.200 of getting money out of politics. They may want to 1:17:35.200 --> 1:17:40.040 increase the social safety net, they may want to change 1:17:40.040 --> 1:17:42.920 the balance of power from capital back to labor. But 1:17:43.040 --> 1:17:48.240 if they don't agree with you on Israel, you don't 1:17:48.320 --> 1:17:49.400 want them in your party. 1:17:50.240 --> 1:17:53.639 Well, I don't know who you're referencing too specifically. 1:17:53.320 --> 1:17:57.519 No, I'm referencing what you just said name so in 1:17:57.560 --> 1:18:00.880 other words, say Ed or AOC or Bernie. Say I 1:18:00.920 --> 1:18:03.719 assume you agree with a lot of what they say. 1:18:03.800 --> 1:18:04.600 Economically. 1:18:05.400 --> 1:18:07.600 And what I'm saying is like, if you are a 1:18:07.840 --> 1:18:11.080 DSA member, if you are a member of a specific 1:18:11.120 --> 1:18:16.439 political party, run under your own banner. And now I 1:18:16.479 --> 1:18:19.439 think Bill Maher said something very insightfully said, you know, 1:18:19.520 --> 1:18:24.479 the DSA are colonizing, colonizing the Democratic Party, So just 1:18:24.600 --> 1:18:27.640 be Democrats. If you're going to run under the Democratic 1:18:27.720 --> 1:18:32.120 Party for that, why have a DSA party for overall? 1:18:32.520 --> 1:18:33.479 So run on that. 1:18:33.600 --> 1:18:36.519 And you all understand, it's just an organization. It's not 1:18:36.560 --> 1:18:39.040 what we have a two party system. We don't. It's 1:18:39.080 --> 1:18:42.200 like the Freedom Caucus in the Republican Party. There are 1:18:42.280 --> 1:18:45.200 you know, there's Randy Fine and Ogliss and all these 1:18:45.320 --> 1:18:49.760 nutbags that are also part of an area and Republicans 1:18:49.800 --> 1:18:51.680 I'm sure may not agree with all of them on 1:18:51.760 --> 1:18:55.599 all kinds of things, but there is no other party. 1:18:55.640 --> 1:18:58.000 I guess you could, you could try it. But my 1:18:58.160 --> 1:19:01.120 point is, if you don't disagree with them on a 1:19:01.120 --> 1:19:03.639 lot of things, why not use some of that energy. 1:19:03.680 --> 1:19:07.240 And even like Mamdanie in New York is DSA, But 1:19:07.320 --> 1:19:10.240 there are things in the DSA platform that he disagrees with, 1:19:10.520 --> 1:19:13.400 and I'm assuming there's probably things in the Democratic platform 1:19:13.560 --> 1:19:16.479 that you might disagree with, but you don't disavow the 1:19:16.640 --> 1:19:21.280 entire thing. You're literally saying, it's all We can all 1:19:21.320 --> 1:19:24.360 have discussions except when it comes to Israel. 1:19:24.040 --> 1:19:27.759 When we come back. Elder fact checked on government spending. 1:19:28.160 --> 1:19:40.280 Don't go away, but let's get her teed up. 1:19:45.600 --> 1:19:50.080 The subdig You can't succeed with LT. 1:19:51.560 --> 1:19:53.960 Triple eight nine seven one s A g E. Triple 1:19:54.000 --> 1:19:55.880 eight nine seven one seven two four to three. I 1:19:55.920 --> 1:19:58.719 am Larry Older. We are a Stalem NewsChannel. I'm gonna 1:19:58.760 --> 1:20:01.839 replay an interview had with a couple of fact checkers 1:20:01.840 --> 1:20:03.640 who fact checked me one time instead that I was 1:20:03.680 --> 1:20:07.439 wrong when in fact I wasn't. And we're also going 1:20:07.479 --> 1:20:12.160 to talk about the assertion by a former Medicare executive 1:20:13.160 --> 1:20:17.639 official who says States aren't really ripping off Medicare healthcare. 1:20:17.880 --> 1:20:20.400 There's no Medicaid, Medicare Medicare fraud. I don't I knowled 1:20:20.400 --> 1:20:27.240 You're talking about all of this and more. Trump took 1:20:27.560 --> 1:20:30.240 the media to task for failing to talk about the 1:20:30.280 --> 1:20:32.800 consequences of socialism. Number thirty four. 1:20:35.520 --> 1:20:38.840 I think, sir, that the Republican Party is hitting home 1:20:39.040 --> 1:20:41.800 the facts that these people literally want to open up 1:20:41.840 --> 1:20:42.360 the prisons. 1:20:42.600 --> 1:20:43.960 They want to uh. 1:20:43.960 --> 1:20:47.040 Private They literally want to get rid of private insurance. 1:20:47.080 --> 1:20:51.160 They want Medicare for all, which means private insurance for none. 1:20:51.439 --> 1:20:53.960 Are they hammering that home so people get an idea 1:20:54.040 --> 1:20:55.840 of how radical these agendas are. 1:20:55.920 --> 1:20:58.519 Well, outside of you and people that happen to be 1:20:58.560 --> 1:21:01.040 in Fox and a few others, they. 1:21:00.880 --> 1:21:02.000 Don't talk about it. Really. 1:21:02.000 --> 1:21:04.839 They don't. You turn on NBC Fake News, or ABC, 1:21:04.960 --> 1:21:08.040 which is the worst of all, or CBS, CNN, any 1:21:08.120 --> 1:21:11.000 of them, they don't talk about that. They talk about 1:21:11.080 --> 1:21:13.760 as positive as you can talk, which isn't easy to do, 1:21:14.080 --> 1:21:16.880 but they don't talk about the consequences because it's all 1:21:16.920 --> 1:21:18.080 about the consequences. 1:21:18.800 --> 1:21:20.639 And a guy like this is just. 1:21:20.920 --> 1:21:23.440 Look at his views and then they change the views. 1:21:23.160 --> 1:21:23.719 For the election. 1:21:23.800 --> 1:21:25.479 Now they're actually having to go a little bit right, 1:21:25.520 --> 1:21:28.400 which is very hard for them to do. But it's 1:21:28.439 --> 1:21:30.320 a very sad thing when you look at it. And 1:21:30.439 --> 1:21:33.200 as far as the Republicans look, the Republicans talk about it. 1:21:33.200 --> 1:21:35.599 It's not put on. But they've got to get tougher. 1:21:35.640 --> 1:21:37.240 They've got to talk, and they've got to talk about 1:21:37.240 --> 1:21:39.920 how well we're doing. I watched Laura before and she 1:21:40.040 --> 1:21:42.280 was saying this is the most increased. She's giving the numbers, 1:21:42.280 --> 1:21:44.760 the financial numbers of the trade numbers that just came 1:21:44.800 --> 1:21:48.240 out today. Our trade deficit is way down. There's never 1:21:48.280 --> 1:21:51.200 been anything. It's never gone down in history like it 1:21:51.240 --> 1:21:53.880 has during this a little bit more than a year. 1:21:53.920 --> 1:21:54.360 Think of that. 1:21:54.960 --> 1:21:58.080 And she was going over just point after point, I'm saying, 1:21:58.120 --> 1:21:59.200 how many people report this? 1:21:59.280 --> 1:21:59.920 People don't know. 1:22:00.280 --> 1:22:01.160 Then in the. 1:22:01.120 --> 1:22:02.880 Economy, Trump is at forty two percent. 1:22:03.280 --> 1:22:04.479 I shouldn't before. We have the. 1:22:04.439 --> 1:22:07.559 Greatest economy maybe in the history of the world for 1:22:07.600 --> 1:22:11.200 any country. You have nineteen point two trillion dollars being 1:22:11.240 --> 1:22:13.960 invested in the United States. And if I wouldn't have won, 1:22:14.040 --> 1:22:17.080 you would have had ten trillion being taken out of 1:22:17.120 --> 1:22:20.160 the United States and your welfare would have doubled and tripled. 1:22:20.160 --> 1:22:21.840 Then we would have had a bankrupt. 1:22:23.560 --> 1:22:26.479 Now. Art Laugher is the inventor of the Laugher curve, 1:22:26.560 --> 1:22:29.720 which argues that you lower taxes and you end up 1:22:29.880 --> 1:22:32.960 eventually collecting more revenue. Here's what he said about how 1:22:33.000 --> 1:22:34.879 the economy is doing. Number forty four. 1:22:36.880 --> 1:22:40.960 Bowling shows more voters trust Democrats over Republicans when it 1:22:41.000 --> 1:22:42.040 comes to the economy. 1:22:42.560 --> 1:22:43.920 Why do you think that's happening now. 1:22:44.080 --> 1:22:46.560 It's not four dollar gas. 1:22:45.800 --> 1:22:49.439 No, I have no idea. It's probably four dollar gas 1:22:49.560 --> 1:22:52.120 or whatever. But the Republicans have been doing a very 1:22:52.120 --> 1:22:54.920 good job on the economy, at least at a federal level, 1:22:55.600 --> 1:22:57.840 and I'm very impressed with what they've done. I mean 1:22:57.880 --> 1:23:00.599 the you know, the becoming, the personal income tax rate 1:23:00.600 --> 1:23:04.519 down to thirty percent, locking that in for permanent, the 1:23:04.720 --> 1:23:07.200 corporate rate down to twenty one percent, you know, one 1:23:07.280 --> 1:23:11.120 hundred percent expensing of capital purchases, lowering the death Acts. 1:23:11.240 --> 1:23:14.360 All of those are really wonderful policies that have been 1:23:14.360 --> 1:23:17.559 put in exclusively by Republicans. I don't think there was 1:23:17.600 --> 1:23:21.439 one Democratic vote for any of those policies. Anyone who 1:23:21.479 --> 1:23:23.880 thinks the Democrats are going to run the economy better 1:23:24.120 --> 1:23:29.440 based upon facts not words, I think will be sorely mistaken. 1:23:30.200 --> 1:23:33.599 And this is the Chairman of the Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, 1:23:33.640 --> 1:23:34.240 Number eighteen. 1:23:37.800 --> 1:23:40.160 You know, there's so many numbers being thrown around, but 1:23:40.200 --> 1:23:42.760 when you talk to the everyday American, they will tell 1:23:42.840 --> 1:23:47.719 you that prices at the grocery store, mortgage rates are higher, 1:23:48.880 --> 1:23:50.880 you know, so you have the gas prices at the 1:23:50.880 --> 1:23:55.479 gas pump and so, yes, it is true that there 1:23:55.560 --> 1:23:59.240 is income growth, but then at the same time americans 1:23:59.240 --> 1:24:02.080 out there saying that they're hurting. Is the White House 1:24:02.080 --> 1:24:04.720 in touch with what the everyday American is feeling right now? 1:24:05.280 --> 1:24:06.480 Oh? Absolutely. 1:24:06.520 --> 1:24:08.720 And you know, I think that if you look at 1:24:08.720 --> 1:24:11.880 the last couple of inflation reports, the thing that we 1:24:11.920 --> 1:24:15.200 got today that showed the Fed's favorite measure actually went down. 1:24:15.240 --> 1:24:16.800 It was negative for one of the first times at 1:24:16.800 --> 1:24:20.280 a log time. The consumer price indecks had just a massive, 1:24:20.360 --> 1:24:23.400 massive decline in the latest monthly report. And it wasn't 1:24:23.439 --> 1:24:25.559 just because of energy. A lot of the policies that 1:24:25.600 --> 1:24:27.680 we've been pursuing, like Trump our x is making it 1:24:27.760 --> 1:24:30.160 so the drug prices are going down. And so we're 1:24:30.280 --> 1:24:32.479 mindful of the fact that prices went up a lot 1:24:32.880 --> 1:24:35.160 over the last four or five years before President Trump 1:24:35.200 --> 1:24:39.680 came in, and that people still are feeling pain. But 1:24:39.800 --> 1:24:41.760 on the other hand, real incomes have grown about three 1:24:41.760 --> 1:24:45.040 thousand dollars in President Trump's first couple of years. They 1:24:45.080 --> 1:24:48.000 declined that much over four years under President Biden. And 1:24:48.040 --> 1:24:50.800 so people are seeing their wages go up more dead 1:24:50.840 --> 1:24:53.479 prices and they're finding you know, as you looked at 1:24:53.479 --> 1:24:56.880 that consumption number that was adjusted for inflation, and so 1:24:56.920 --> 1:24:59.479 a big solid consumption quarter like we saw at Q 1:24:59.520 --> 1:25:02.439 two side that consumers are optimistic about what's going on 1:25:02.439 --> 1:25:03.160 on average. 1:25:03.920 --> 1:25:05.760 Now, he was on CNN when he said that, So 1:25:05.840 --> 1:25:08.040 people that are not watching Fox and Newsmax at least 1:25:08.080 --> 1:25:13.200 heard that part. And I've not seen anything really on 1:25:13.439 --> 1:25:16.560 CNN and msnbhij are now called bs now which I 1:25:16.600 --> 1:25:20.759 watched that you don't have to bout Trump accounts thousand 1:25:20.840 --> 1:25:24.040 dollars when a child is born every year until the 1:25:24.080 --> 1:25:28.360 child is eighteen. Put the money in the stock market 1:25:28.840 --> 1:25:32.480 typical return seven percent maybe more when you reinvested dividends. 1:25:33.360 --> 1:25:35.120 At the age of sixty five, this person's going to 1:25:35.160 --> 1:25:39.280 have over a million dollars. And that does not count 1:25:39.360 --> 1:25:41.360 the fact that you can put up to five thousand 1:25:41.360 --> 1:25:47.640 dollars a year in this Trump account. Five thousand a 1:25:47.720 --> 1:25:50.519 year if you can do it, and you're talking about 1:25:50.560 --> 1:25:54.040 millions of dollars when this person is now sixty five 1:25:54.120 --> 1:25:59.040 years old. This is huge. James Carfinal from Heritage and 1:25:59.040 --> 1:26:01.320 I were talking about the fact that Donald Trump secured 1:26:01.400 --> 1:26:03.200 the borders in thirty days and we relyed to for 1:26:03.240 --> 1:26:06.519 four years about how secure they were, or that they 1:26:06.560 --> 1:26:08.360 were secure as they can be given the absence of 1:26:08.400 --> 1:26:12.920 comprehensive immigration reform, and that now that they're secured, people 1:26:12.960 --> 1:26:15.120 on the left have moved on and whined about something else. 1:26:15.680 --> 1:26:17.200 Here's Trump. There were thirty three. 1:26:20.040 --> 1:26:21.080 You touched on Iran. 1:26:21.360 --> 1:26:23.840 They're you know, it's got to feel like groundhog Day 1:26:23.880 --> 1:26:26.000 to you. So, I mean they're in, they want a deal. 1:26:26.280 --> 1:26:27.000 The deal's off. 1:26:27.040 --> 1:26:29.400 I mean, at what point do you say enough when 1:26:29.439 --> 1:26:30.800 there's no coming back for Iran? 1:26:30.920 --> 1:26:33.200 Well, I have plenty of time. 1:26:33.280 --> 1:26:35.799 You know, people talk about the midterms, So the midterms 1:26:35.840 --> 1:26:36.759 they want to see winning. 1:26:37.200 --> 1:26:37.559 You know, in. 1:26:37.600 --> 1:26:40.559 Venezuela, we I oh. People were so opposed to what 1:26:40.600 --> 1:26:44.840 I did in Venezuela. It lasted one day. And now 1:26:44.880 --> 1:26:49.040 they look, we're making hundreds of billions of dollars, and 1:26:49.120 --> 1:26:52.000 so are they. They're getting Venezuela is like a different place, 1:26:52.520 --> 1:26:54.920 but were taken out hundreds of billions of dollars. They're 1:26:54.960 --> 1:26:58.240 taking out hundreds of billions of dollars. It's a different place. 1:26:58.280 --> 1:27:00.559 It's actually becoming me. They had the tragedy the other 1:27:00.640 --> 1:27:03.200 day with the problem, as you know, but there was 1:27:03.240 --> 1:27:08.040 a terrible problem. The earthquake, I guess you'd call it. 1:27:08.040 --> 1:27:10.760 It was a bad one. But outside of that, they 1:27:10.760 --> 1:27:13.599 have a country that is a very happy country. Again, 1:27:13.640 --> 1:27:16.479 but we are We paid for the cost of that 1:27:16.560 --> 1:27:18.840 war many many times over where have you heard that? 1:27:19.600 --> 1:27:20.400 But everybody was. 1:27:20.400 --> 1:27:23.240 Against it, And then when I won, they all think 1:27:23.280 --> 1:27:25.720 it was great. But nobody talks about it anymore. So 1:27:25.760 --> 1:27:27.519 I have to talk about it. Nobody talks about the 1:27:27.520 --> 1:27:30.960 fact that we have the safest border in history. And 1:27:31.000 --> 1:27:34.000 I probably got elected partially, at least in big part, 1:27:34.040 --> 1:27:36.360 because of the fact that the border was so bad. 1:27:36.720 --> 1:27:39.200 Twenty five million people, you know, people say fourteen, it's 1:27:39.280 --> 1:27:42.519 only nineteen, or it's only twenty five million people. Probably 1:27:42.560 --> 1:27:45.479 it's probably more than that. They came pouring into or 1:27:45.560 --> 1:27:49.160 totally unchecked and unvetted, pouring into our country. And many 1:27:49.200 --> 1:27:50.920 of these people are not the people you want in 1:27:50.960 --> 1:27:53.920 our country. We have drug lords, we have people from 1:27:53.960 --> 1:27:58.559 many people, millions of people from prisons, eleven thousand you've 1:27:58.600 --> 1:28:00.799 heard me say it, eight hundred and eighty eight murderers, 1:28:01.320 --> 1:28:03.880 most of whom were many of whom committed more than 1:28:03.920 --> 1:28:06.640 one murder. We're getting them all out. We've got so 1:28:06.720 --> 1:28:09.040 many of them out. We're doing such a good job. 1:28:09.120 --> 1:28:12.479 But was the hardest thing we inherited, the worst inflation 1:28:12.600 --> 1:28:15.320 in the history of our country. But the worst thing 1:28:15.320 --> 1:28:18.679 we inherited was the fact that Biden allowed twenty five 1:28:19.080 --> 1:28:22.639 million people they would not have qualified, many of them, 1:28:22.680 --> 1:28:25.280 most of them, but many of them to come into 1:28:25.320 --> 1:28:26.800 the country. And we're getting them out. 1:28:27.400 --> 1:28:31.080 Why And now nobody even talks about the border, let 1:28:31.120 --> 1:28:34.640 alone give prethident Trump credit for securing it. It is 1:28:34.720 --> 1:28:41.479 what the same thing front page article newsweek about what's 1:28:41.479 --> 1:28:47.559 happening in Venezuela under the control of America. Inflation down, 1:28:48.680 --> 1:28:54.920 oral productivity up dramatically, the ratings approval ratings of America 1:28:55.400 --> 1:28:57.920 much higher than the ratings of Donald Trump here in 1:28:57.960 --> 1:29:05.160 the country. It's incredible. It talks about the assistance America 1:29:05.200 --> 1:29:08.760 has given Venezuela because of their two earthquakes, far more 1:29:08.760 --> 1:29:13.120 assistance than the other non profits have been doing. And 1:29:13.200 --> 1:29:17.760 now no one talks about it. The fact that our 1:29:17.800 --> 1:29:23.000 allies are now paying for our support for Ukraine. Nobody 1:29:23.360 --> 1:29:27.599 now talks about it, not even the headline news anymore. 1:29:28.400 --> 1:29:33.120 Stock market record highs. Sixty percent of Americans have money 1:29:33.120 --> 1:29:37.840 in the stock market, either directly or indirectly. Well, you know, 1:29:38.800 --> 1:29:43.080 another day, another Dow record, another S and P record. 1:29:43.720 --> 1:29:49.840 Let's talk about affordability. Gas price is still lower than 1:29:49.840 --> 1:29:52.000 they were under a Biden and lower than they were 1:29:52.080 --> 1:29:57.360 under Obama adjusted for inflation. How often is that factoid mentioned? 1:30:01.680 --> 1:30:05.080 Does the man get credit for anything? I'm want to 1:30:05.080 --> 1:30:08.080 talk about when I was fact checked by?

I'm on 1:31:59.000 --> 1:32:02.639 Fox and Friends one morning, this is in twenty thirteen, 1:32:03.920 --> 1:32:07.680 and we're talking about how large government has gone. And 1:32:07.720 --> 1:32:11.280 I said, in nineteen hundred, government at all three levels, federal, state, 1:32:11.280 --> 1:32:14.080 and local, took just ten percent from the American people. 1:32:14.120 --> 1:32:19.280 In Texas, now it takes almost thirty five percent. And 1:32:19.360 --> 1:32:23.400 if you put a value on mandates, unfunded mandates, government 1:32:23.439 --> 1:32:27.880 takes almost half what the American people produce. So I 1:32:27.920 --> 1:32:30.320 get home my phone ranks. How they got my phone 1:32:30.360 --> 1:32:33.040 numbers beyond me? And it was one of these pund 1:32:33.040 --> 1:32:40.719 defect organizations. And guy said, sorry, this morning on Fox 1:32:40.760 --> 1:32:45.479 and Friends, you said that government and nineteen hundred took 1:32:45.520 --> 1:32:46.960 only ten percent of the American people. Do you have 1:32:47.000 --> 1:32:49.600 a source for this? I said, no, I pulled it 1:32:49.640 --> 1:32:51.040 out of my butt. Of course I have a source 1:32:51.080 --> 1:32:55.320 for it. And then now you said, right now, it 1:32:55.320 --> 1:32:57.040 takes almost thirty five percent. Do you have a source 1:32:57.040 --> 1:32:58.240 for that? I said, of course, I have a source, 1:32:58.240 --> 1:33:02.120 A game my source. And now and finally you said 1:33:02.120 --> 1:33:05.160 that if you add up the cost of mandates, that's 1:33:05.160 --> 1:33:08.320 when the government tells you to do something. Plus the taxes, 1:33:08.720 --> 1:33:11.080 it takes almost fifty percent. And I said, yeah, do 1:33:11.120 --> 1:33:12.879 you have a source? I said, gave them several sources. 1:33:14.400 --> 1:33:18.400 So newspaper came out a few days later had one 1:33:18.439 --> 1:33:23.800 of these meters and it said Elder is half right. 1:33:25.520 --> 1:33:29.080 And I was not amused, and to their credit, they 1:33:29.120 --> 1:33:31.320 agreed to come on my show and we talked about it. 1:33:31.520 --> 1:33:36.160 Number fifty. My next guest is editor of pund de Fact. 1:33:36.880 --> 1:33:39.280 Pun Defact has been set up by the Tampa Bay 1:33:39.320 --> 1:33:43.800 Times in November of twenty thirteen. Aaron Sharrockman is editor 1:33:43.840 --> 1:33:45.519 of pun de Fact. Mister Sharrockman, thank you very much 1:33:45.520 --> 1:33:46.839 for coming on. I appreciate it. 1:33:46.960 --> 1:33:47.559 Great to be here. 1:33:47.640 --> 1:33:50.920 Larry Hi, I'm here obviously because of your fact checking 1:33:50.920 --> 1:33:54.599 the statement that I made on Crossfire. Do you think 1:33:54.640 --> 1:33:57.320 that the rating that your reporter gave me is a 1:33:57.360 --> 1:33:57.920 fair rating? 1:33:59.000 --> 1:34:01.360 I do, And I can explain a little bit of 1:34:01.400 --> 1:34:04.400 our process, because it's really meant to be open and transparent. 1:34:05.439 --> 1:34:07.640 Every fact check we do, we talk to you for this, 1:34:07.720 --> 1:34:11.040 and you are very helpful. We also reach out to experts, 1:34:11.080 --> 1:34:14.200 which we did in this case. I think the reporter 1:34:14.360 --> 1:34:18.599 contact at eight or nine different economists or tax policy experts. 1:34:19.240 --> 1:34:21.280 And then so then we go through our process and 1:34:21.360 --> 1:34:24.320 we do our analysis, and she recommends a rating on 1:34:24.360 --> 1:34:27.759 our truth ometer. And then a group of three editors 1:34:27.760 --> 1:34:29.639 who kind of shit of the jury kind of votes 1:34:30.640 --> 1:34:33.360 and they came up again with our rating here that 1:34:33.760 --> 1:34:35.160 your statement was mostly false. 1:34:35.760 --> 1:34:38.960 And so, mister Shrockman, was the verdict unanimous. 1:34:40.439 --> 1:34:42.800 I think the verdict one of the unanimous. I'll tell 1:34:42.840 --> 1:34:45.320 you I can't specifically remember, I would say eighty percent 1:34:45.320 --> 1:34:47.760 of the time. It's unanimous twenty percent of the time. 1:34:47.800 --> 1:34:51.040 So we have the conversation. I can tell you, Larry, 1:34:51.120 --> 1:34:55.519 your particular statement, like so many, sometimes are difficult to 1:34:56.200 --> 1:34:57.200 reach an ultimate judgment. 1:34:57.360 --> 1:34:59.240 Let's let's let's let's let's go over the statement, if 1:34:59.240 --> 1:35:01.720 you don't mind, mister sh Dolckman. First time you read it, 1:35:01.960 --> 1:35:03.880 here's what I said, and this is what you fact checked. 1:35:04.520 --> 1:35:05.520 It's three sentences. 1:35:05.720 --> 1:35:08.000 The first one doesn't count because the first sentences my 1:35:08.040 --> 1:35:09.280 problem is this, we'll ignore that. 1:35:09.320 --> 1:35:10.600 This is the second two sentences. 1:35:10.920 --> 1:35:14.080 In nineteen hundred, at all three levels of government, federal, state, 1:35:14.120 --> 1:35:16.560 and local government took less than ten percent of the 1:35:16.560 --> 1:35:20.000 American people's money. Now we're talking about thirty five percent, 1:35:20.280 --> 1:35:22.559 and when you add a dollar value to mandates, we're 1:35:22.560 --> 1:35:25.160 talking almost fifty percent in the quote. So let's go 1:35:25.200 --> 1:35:28.200 over it the first part. In nineteen hundred, at all 1:35:28.200 --> 1:35:30.599 three levels of government, federal, state, and local government took 1:35:30.680 --> 1:35:32.640 less than ten percent of the American people's money. And 1:35:32.640 --> 1:35:35.040 the reason we're going over it, mister Trurockman, is because 1:35:35.160 --> 1:35:37.200 the letter that I got from your reporter said that 1:35:37.240 --> 1:35:40.479 you wanted to fact check all my claims plural. So 1:35:40.479 --> 1:35:44.000 I'm assuming that there there are several claims in these 1:35:44.000 --> 1:35:46.760 two sentences that you fact checked. The first one, again, 1:35:46.920 --> 1:35:49.439 in nineteen hundred, at all three levels of government, federal, state, 1:35:49.439 --> 1:35:51.000 and local government took less than ten percent of the 1:35:51.000 --> 1:35:52.960 American people's money. Is that true or false? 1:35:54.479 --> 1:35:57.200 Base believe that it's much closer to true than false. 1:35:57.680 --> 1:36:01.040 I don't want to get in. Okay, cat live on television. 1:36:01.520 --> 1:36:02.719 Fair enough, fair enough, Okay. 1:36:03.280 --> 1:36:05.320 The next one. Now we're talking about thirty five percent 1:36:05.360 --> 1:36:07.240 today at all three levels. Is that true or false? 1:36:08.640 --> 1:36:12.080 I would say on spending, you'll use a period, be 1:36:12.120 --> 1:36:13.640 close face on the math. I think there is a 1:36:13.680 --> 1:36:17.240 difference of opinion revenues versus spending. You say government took 1:36:18.479 --> 1:36:21.120 the debt of seventeen tillion dollars in. 1:36:21.200 --> 1:36:22.439 Money they took that they spent. 1:36:23.120 --> 1:36:27.479 But technical tech, technicality, I think you're in the callpark. 1:36:27.479 --> 1:36:27.960 How about that? 1:36:28.000 --> 1:36:30.439 Okay, So the first two parts of my two of 1:36:30.479 --> 1:36:32.800 my statements, the amount that took at all three levels 1:36:32.800 --> 1:36:34.840 of nineteen hundred checks out. The second part of the 1:36:34.840 --> 1:36:36.840 amount they take right now thirty five percent or so, 1:36:36.960 --> 1:36:39.280 that checks out. So the only part we're quarreling with 1:36:39.680 --> 1:36:42.160 is where I add the thirty five percent plus the 1:36:42.240 --> 1:36:43.599 dollar value to the mandates to. 1:36:43.520 --> 1:36:44.360 Get to fifty percent. 1:36:44.520 --> 1:36:45.920 That's the issue that we're having here. 1:36:47.040 --> 1:36:47.960 I think you're right, okay. 1:36:47.960 --> 1:36:49.559 Now, Now, then I'm trying to figure out how I'm 1:36:49.560 --> 1:36:52.080 mostly false when two of the of the three statements 1:36:52.120 --> 1:36:54.719 that I made you've now agreed are true. 1:36:55.680 --> 1:36:57.439 Yeah, and let me finish. 1:36:57.439 --> 1:36:59.479 And then and when your reporter wrote me, she said, 1:36:59.479 --> 1:37:01.880 I want to check all of its claims plural. I've 1:37:01.920 --> 1:37:03.760 made three claims here, the side of the garment in 1:37:03.800 --> 1:37:05.760 nineteen hundred, the side of the garment right now, and 1:37:05.800 --> 1:37:07.680 what the size would be if we were added a 1:37:07.720 --> 1:37:10.080 dollar value to the mandates. Two of those you've agreed 1:37:10.120 --> 1:37:12.240 are are on the money the only one we're crawling 1:37:12.280 --> 1:37:14.160 over is the latter one. Even if you and I 1:37:14.200 --> 1:37:16.040 disagree on the latter one, How do I get a 1:37:16.080 --> 1:37:18.040 mostly false when two of them are other three are 1:37:18.040 --> 1:37:18.559 are accurate? 1:37:19.160 --> 1:37:19.559 Sure? 1:37:20.400 --> 1:37:22.559 And this goes back to a little bit of our process, 1:37:22.560 --> 1:37:26.920 which is really important. And I think you're summarizing everything 1:37:27.040 --> 1:37:31.320 very well. And so one of the tricky things about 1:37:31.360 --> 1:37:35.040 facts checking, quite frankly, is dealing with numbers and dealing 1:37:35.080 --> 1:37:38.680 with the claims that have multiple facts in one or. 1:37:38.720 --> 1:37:40.519 Two sentences, right, And. 1:37:40.479 --> 1:37:43.800 So how one of the things that we learned, and 1:37:44.400 --> 1:37:46.240 this is fun Effect as a brand new it's just 1:37:46.280 --> 1:37:48.160 been around since the start of the month, but it 1:37:48.200 --> 1:37:50.639 comes based on something called porn Effect, where we fact 1:37:50.720 --> 1:37:53.920 checked more than eight thousand statements since two thousand and seven. 1:37:54.479 --> 1:37:55.960 And so one of the things that we learned is 1:37:55.960 --> 1:37:59.439 that it's really hard to do us essentially judge the 1:37:59.479 --> 1:38:02.160 truthful this if you will, of a long statement like that, 1:38:02.320 --> 1:38:05.639 because you know, if one of them is, say, mostly true, 1:38:05.720 --> 1:38:07.720 and one of them is maybe true, and then one 1:38:07.760 --> 1:38:09.800 of them there's something less than that, how do you 1:38:09.880 --> 1:38:11.800 kind of like put that in a blender, you know, 1:38:12.360 --> 1:38:15.040 spin it up and kind of spit out one statement 1:38:15.160 --> 1:38:17.760 in one rating. And so what we try to do, 1:38:18.160 --> 1:38:20.360 and what we did in this case is we were 1:38:20.360 --> 1:38:22.640 we wanted to be as specific as possible as to 1:38:22.720 --> 1:38:25.880 the claim that most people I think that they would 1:38:26.640 --> 1:38:28.599 listening to you on Crossbar and he did a great job, 1:38:29.920 --> 1:38:31.880 is that they would hear and they would be most 1:38:32.000 --> 1:38:34.360 interested to know. And so we had to boil it 1:38:34.479 --> 1:38:35.880 down to something something that we. 1:38:35.840 --> 1:38:39.280 Could kind of focus in on. H and that, to 1:38:39.360 --> 1:38:39.960 us was. 1:38:40.000 --> 1:38:42.360 The third part of your claim, because I think, really 1:38:42.720 --> 1:38:45.040 and you I think you're agree, that's the most eye 1:38:45.040 --> 1:38:48.280 catching number, that the idea that almost every of every 1:38:48.280 --> 1:38:50.880 dollar you make, almost fifty fifty cents of it is 1:38:50.920 --> 1:38:53.160 going to the government. And so that's really we thought 1:38:53.400 --> 1:38:55.240 that was what we wanted to focus in on, because 1:38:55.280 --> 1:38:57.519 that's the claim that you know when you said it, 1:38:57.560 --> 1:39:00.000 that's the number that because I was watching on deep 1:39:00.200 --> 1:39:01.880 that was the thing that jumps up Russ or load 1:39:02.200 --> 1:39:05.800 is that right? And that's generally our text. So and 1:39:05.880 --> 1:39:08.960 so while the first two numbers are accurate or close 1:39:08.960 --> 1:39:12.519 to accurate, that doesn't necessarily mean that we're not going 1:39:12.560 --> 1:39:14.479 to check and look at that third number and focus there. 1:39:14.479 --> 1:39:16.040 Because we thought that was the most. 1:39:15.800 --> 1:39:18.920 Critical one, especially for viewers to get a good understanding 1:39:18.960 --> 1:39:21.719 of not only our tax policy going back, but also 1:39:21.720 --> 1:39:25.320 looking forward, and then lastly trying to measure the cost of. 1:39:25.320 --> 1:39:27.720 Regulations and mandates are when we come back the rest 1:39:27.760 --> 1:39:29.200 of it. By the way, they said that I was 1:39:29.320 --> 1:39:32.559 mostly wrong, not half true, that I was mostly wrong. 1:39:33.640 --> 1:39:56.880 We continue. 1:39:48.040 --> 1:39:50.880 Triple late nine seven one sage triple eight nine seven 1:39:50.920 --> 1:39:52.720 one seven two four to three. I am Larry Yeld. 1:39:52.800 --> 1:39:56.679 We are stale. On the channel again. In twenty thirteen, 1:39:56.760 --> 1:39:59.719 I was on Fox and Friends talking about the size 1:39:59.800 --> 1:40:03.719 of the government, and I said, in nineteen hundred, government 1:40:03.760 --> 1:40:05.960 took less than ten percent from the American people at 1:40:06.000 --> 1:40:08.439 all three levels, federal, state, and local. Now it takes 1:40:08.439 --> 1:40:11.919 about thirty five percent. When you add the cost of mandates, 1:40:11.960 --> 1:40:16.200 it's almost fifty percent. Got a call from one of 1:40:16.200 --> 1:40:19.679 these fact check organizations and a letter, and they asked 1:40:19.680 --> 1:40:21.800 me to provide sources for my three assertions. I gave 1:40:21.840 --> 1:40:25.080 them sources and a few days later big article that 1:40:25.120 --> 1:40:29.320 said Larry Elder is quote mostly false. To their credit. 1:40:29.479 --> 1:40:32.120 When I invited them on them my radio show, they came, 1:40:32.280 --> 1:40:36.439 let's continue. Aaron Schrockman is my guest editor of pun 1:40:36.479 --> 1:40:38.160 the Fact. Now, Aaron, I'll tell you why I think 1:40:38.160 --> 1:40:41.719 that you're unfair to me. Regarding the last one. You've 1:40:41.760 --> 1:40:45.160 acknowledged that Grover Norquis's organization puts the figure of a 1:40:45.160 --> 1:40:48.559 government taking even higher than the one I did, But 1:40:48.600 --> 1:40:50.799 then you quote other experts to say that, well, nobody 1:40:50.800 --> 1:40:52.360 really knows. It's hard to put a value on it. 1:40:52.400 --> 1:40:55.080 This subjective fair enough, but that doesn't make my statement 1:40:55.160 --> 1:41:01.320 mostly wrong. I think, and I things who please. And 1:41:01.360 --> 1:41:04.320 the other reason is because of the way you evaluated 1:41:04.439 --> 1:41:07.120 the statement made by at Schultz the day before. At Schultz, 1:41:07.120 --> 1:41:09.600 of course, is left wing. He comes on television he 1:41:09.640 --> 1:41:13.120 says that Chris Christy fired six thousand teachers. It turns 1:41:13.120 --> 1:41:15.000 out the number we're talking about is forty five hundreds, 1:41:15.000 --> 1:41:17.200 so he's off by thirty three percent. And Chris Christy 1:41:17.240 --> 1:41:20.240 didn't fire anybody directly. The people that left were laid 1:41:20.240 --> 1:41:23.479 off or they retired, and so the statement is really wrong. 1:41:23.800 --> 1:41:26.160 Instead of saying mostly false or false, you said he 1:41:26.240 --> 1:41:28.400 was half true. Now, how is that half true? And 1:41:28.439 --> 1:41:29.280 I'm mostly false? 1:41:30.240 --> 1:41:31.920 I would say this, I would say, Larry, it is 1:41:32.400 --> 1:41:34.519 you can look at to state any of our two 1:41:34.560 --> 1:41:37.080 statements of the eight thousand that we've checked in the abstract, 1:41:37.320 --> 1:41:40.520 and you could reach you can reach a bad comparison 1:41:40.600 --> 1:41:42.840 conclusion by looking at him. Let's take another one that 1:41:42.880 --> 1:41:45.840 we just did this week to a former advisor to 1:41:45.920 --> 1:41:48.560 George W. Bush, a guy named Brad Bake Blakeman to 1:41:48.720 --> 1:41:51.320 the farm bill, ninety percent of the farm bill is 1:41:51.840 --> 1:41:53.680 food steps, and so what kind of farm bill is 1:41:53.720 --> 1:41:56.160 a farm bill? Ninety percent of that is for food steps. Well, 1:41:56.160 --> 1:41:58.719 whenever it was eighty percent, so he was off again 1:41:58.840 --> 1:42:01.559 again a numbers they would choose off. We gave that 1:42:01.600 --> 1:42:04.120 statement in most cleatures. So if you compared, for instance, 1:42:04.640 --> 1:42:05.160 compared that. 1:42:05.160 --> 1:42:07.679 Statement at Schultz, you'd say you maybe reach a different 1:42:07.680 --> 1:42:09.679 conclusion about our point of view. 1:42:09.720 --> 1:42:11.919 And every time I say that is it's really important. 1:42:12.360 --> 1:42:14.000 Is that we take a lot of care on what 1:42:14.040 --> 1:42:17.680 we do. And what I liked about this conversation I 1:42:17.760 --> 1:42:20.040 am really important is that for the most part, I don't. 1:42:20.040 --> 1:42:22.000 I don't think you're quibbling with our reporting. I think 1:42:22.080 --> 1:42:23.519 you think we do. We set out to do a 1:42:23.560 --> 1:42:24.280 pretty good job. 1:42:24.479 --> 1:42:27.200 I think I think I think Aaron, I think I 1:42:27.200 --> 1:42:29.240 think you were unfair. She sends me a letter, and 1:42:29.280 --> 1:42:34.240 she calls my figures my claims plural eye popping. And 1:42:34.840 --> 1:42:37.360 if you think eye popping plural, that means you're not 1:42:37.400 --> 1:42:39.280 just talking about the fifty percent, you're talking about the 1:42:39.280 --> 1:42:41.839 ten percent and thirty five percent as being eye popping. 1:42:41.920 --> 1:42:43.600 I willed to submit, Aaron, I could be wrong. I 1:42:43.600 --> 1:42:45.960 don't know, Katie. I wanted to submit. When she was 1:42:46.000 --> 1:42:49.400 watching me, she said, really, government only took ten percent 1:42:49.960 --> 1:42:53.160 in nineteen hundred. Really, government takes thirty five percent. Now 1:42:53.360 --> 1:42:55.680 that's eye popping. And now that you found out that 1:42:55.720 --> 1:42:58.599 I was accurate, you've ignored it. You should you should 1:42:58.600 --> 1:43:00.559 at least that Elder was right about those two things, 1:43:01.000 --> 1:43:03.360 wrong about this one, or or at least this one's arguable. 1:43:03.880 --> 1:43:06.160 But giving me a mostly false when you gave chows 1:43:06.160 --> 1:43:08.080 I have true, that is just incredibly unfair. 1:43:08.200 --> 1:43:11.200 Eron I think, I think, and this is a difference, 1:43:11.200 --> 1:43:12.479 This is going to be a differenceive opinion. 1:43:12.680 --> 1:43:15.120 I don't like the idea that what Fun in fact 1:43:15.160 --> 1:43:19.599 is trying to do is this describe whether you're not 1:43:19.680 --> 1:43:20.599 you're telling the truth? 1:43:20.720 --> 1:43:20.840 Right? 1:43:21.160 --> 1:43:23.360 I think I see as there's a way a second 1:43:23.439 --> 1:43:25.880 screen for people who watch Crossfire, who are listening to 1:43:25.880 --> 1:43:28.120 this radio show to go and say, hey, I want 1:43:28.120 --> 1:43:31.280 to learn more about that, and I also want to 1:43:31.360 --> 1:43:33.400 learn the sources. I want to have the links. I 1:43:33.439 --> 1:43:35.599 want to do. Ale looks through everything, and I also 1:43:35.600 --> 1:43:37.080 want to go through it through the lens of a 1:43:37.120 --> 1:43:40.320 fact check or someone is coming through this with only 1:43:40.360 --> 1:43:41.599 one special interest, and. 1:43:41.560 --> 1:43:43.360 That's the getting the facts straight. 1:43:43.800 --> 1:43:46.879 And I can tell you uh, and we can disagree 1:43:46.880 --> 1:43:49.960 on specific rulings, and trust me, we hear from We 1:43:50.080 --> 1:43:52.200 hear from folks on the right and on the last 1:43:52.240 --> 1:43:55.360 a lot. We do our best to try to approximate 1:43:55.640 --> 1:43:58.040 we're on the truth and meter A play in falls 1:43:58.479 --> 1:44:02.120 and we're not perfect, but we think that ultimately people 1:44:02.120 --> 1:44:06.200 are should be held accounts to their words. And so 1:44:06.360 --> 1:44:09.800 in this case, we're having a differenceive opinion about that 1:44:09.920 --> 1:44:14.360 sixty percent of people's money is spent on take in 1:44:14.479 --> 1:44:16.559 essentially for either taxes or. 1:44:18.479 --> 1:44:19.840 We're gonna take a quick hard break and then we'll 1:44:19.840 --> 1:44:22.600 talk at just a second, okay. Aaron Schrockman is my 1:44:22.640 --> 1:44:25.320 guest editor of pund Defect Talk Radio seven ninety KBC. 1:44:26.439 --> 1:44:28.840 Aaron Schrockman is editor of pund Effect and he racially 1:44:28.840 --> 1:44:30.960 agreed to come on the show to talk about their 1:44:31.040 --> 1:44:33.040 fact checking of a statement that I made on Crossfire. 1:44:33.200 --> 1:44:35.479 Aeron again, thank you for very much for sticking through 1:44:35.479 --> 1:44:38.000 the break real quickly. Do you believe that there is 1:44:38.040 --> 1:44:39.960 a left wing media bias? 1:44:41.000 --> 1:44:41.479 I don't. 1:44:41.720 --> 1:44:43.360 I do think you don't. 1:44:44.160 --> 1:44:46.160 I don't think there's a left wing media bias. 1:44:46.160 --> 1:44:47.360 I mean I think that quite. 1:44:47.240 --> 1:44:51.840 Frankly, everyone, every single person, probably brings some bias to 1:44:51.960 --> 1:44:53.519 some reporting they do on some level. 1:44:53.600 --> 1:44:53.760 Right. 1:44:54.600 --> 1:44:57.000 You know, I grew up in Pennsylvania and I'm a 1:44:57.040 --> 1:44:59.519 Phillies fan. I don't think i'd want me writing about. 1:44:59.280 --> 1:45:03.160 The Philly I think you think most reporters are non 1:45:03.200 --> 1:45:07.679 partisan or are they lack an affection for either party? 1:45:08.439 --> 1:45:10.840 I think most of the porters that I work within 1:45:10.880 --> 1:45:14.680 the Tampa Bay Times and PolitiFact, I think absolutely I 1:45:14.720 --> 1:45:15.800 do fair enough. 1:45:16.320 --> 1:45:20.919 The does not believe that there is a medium bias. 1:45:21.040 --> 1:45:24.800 More on this in just a few minutes. Now. You know, 1:45:24.880 --> 1:45:28.040 life moves fast, and staying sharp, focused and clear headed 1:45:28.160 --> 1:45:31.439 isn't always easy.

That's relief factor dot com my final 1:46:48.240 --> 1:46:51.600 minutes with the people from the fact check organization that 1:46:51.720 --> 1:46:55.360 claimed that I was mostly false. The other thing I 1:46:55.360 --> 1:46:57.320 wanted to ask you about in your analysis of what 1:46:57.360 --> 1:46:59.519 I said, is you include a statement made by a 1:46:59.520 --> 1:47:02.360 guy named Ryan Camp. He's a tax professor at Texas Tech. 1:47:02.840 --> 1:47:05.120 Mister Elder's statement is too vague to be useful for 1:47:05.160 --> 1:47:08.360 any purpose other than generating hallelujahs from the choir he 1:47:08.400 --> 1:47:10.160 is preaching to in this quote. What was the point 1:47:10.200 --> 1:47:16.559 in including that quote? Well, I think it unnecessary and 1:47:16.600 --> 1:47:19.120 just a hit on me for no reason. 1:47:19.120 --> 1:47:19.519 Am I wrong? 1:47:20.280 --> 1:47:22.759 I mean, I mean, I think you're entital of your opinion. 1:47:22.840 --> 1:47:25.280 I think what Kitty and the reporter are trying to do. 1:47:25.320 --> 1:47:28.559 There is add in another voice from another expert who 1:47:28.600 --> 1:47:31.920 studies this stuff for a living, and I think he's 1:47:31.960 --> 1:47:36.240 suggesting that, if he's suggesting in a colorful way, that 1:47:36.400 --> 1:47:39.320 is a very difficult number to reach when it comes 1:47:39.320 --> 1:47:41.720 to trying to put a percentage on the cost of 1:47:41.840 --> 1:47:46.439 mandates and regulations net cost of mandates and regulations on 1:47:46.479 --> 1:47:47.200 the American people. 1:47:47.880 --> 1:47:49.040 What do you think the cost is? 1:47:50.080 --> 1:47:50.719 I have any idea. 1:47:51.479 --> 1:47:53.960 Do you think it's important to know or important to 1:47:54.000 --> 1:47:55.360 find out or get some sort of ballpark. 1:47:55.360 --> 1:47:58.880 I'm asking, Oh, I think it would certainly be very useful. 1:47:58.920 --> 1:48:02.640 And I think you know, how far off do you 1:48:02.720 --> 1:48:03.200 think I am? 1:48:04.680 --> 1:48:06.640 Again, you're asking questions that I don't know. 1:48:06.640 --> 1:48:07.400 I'm a fact checker. 1:48:07.439 --> 1:48:09.280 So basically, well, when you say, when you say I'm 1:48:09.320 --> 1:48:11.160 mostly false, I would assumeing you must have some idea 1:48:11.160 --> 1:48:13.320 of how oft I am. 1:48:13.720 --> 1:48:16.479 This is, this is this is a different thing. I 1:48:16.479 --> 1:48:17.000 would say. 1:48:17.240 --> 1:48:19.719 The one thing that is very important to note about 1:48:19.720 --> 1:48:23.240 fortifacts and pundit fact is what we're doing is when 1:48:23.320 --> 1:48:28.000 when you say something, just like the president or mtck 1:48:28.120 --> 1:48:33.120 Romney or John Stewart or Rachel Maddow, Uh, there's an 1:48:33.120 --> 1:48:36.720 expectations that if the truth and so it is not 1:48:37.880 --> 1:48:41.120 in our cases. We want to try to find what 1:48:41.320 --> 1:48:44.160 is the truth, But in the absence of truth if 1:48:44.520 --> 1:48:46.880 we can, if we know, for instance, that a number 1:48:46.960 --> 1:48:50.080 is difficult to prove or not easy to discern, we're. 1:48:49.960 --> 1:48:50.840 Going to point that out. 1:48:51.240 --> 1:48:54.280 And so if Aaron you say absence of truth, you've 1:48:54.320 --> 1:48:56.320 already acknowledged I was right when I said government at 1:48:56.360 --> 1:48:58.519 all three levels took less than ten percent nineteen hundred. 1:48:58.720 --> 1:49:00.840 I'm right that all three levels of take thirty five percent. 1:49:01.040 --> 1:49:02.960 The only quarrel is how much value to put on 1:49:02.960 --> 1:49:05.160 the cost of mandates. And you've agreed that there is 1:49:05.200 --> 1:49:07.120 a cost. We just don't know quite what the cost is. 1:49:07.280 --> 1:49:09.519 But how I'm getting mostly false. When you agree that 1:49:09.520 --> 1:49:11.960 there's a value to it, it blows my mind, It really does. 1:49:13.120 --> 1:49:13.320 Well. 1:49:13.960 --> 1:49:17.519 One, I'm not necessarily agreeing that there's I'm agreeing that 1:49:17.560 --> 1:49:20.360 there's a gross costs to mandated regulations. I'm not agreeing 1:49:20.360 --> 1:49:23.040 that there's a net cost because I'm not a researcher. 1:49:23.120 --> 1:49:23.880 I haven't studied this. 1:49:25.400 --> 1:49:28.839 Even the economists that you quote say that there's. 1:49:28.680 --> 1:49:31.880 A cost, correct, and they don't know what it is, And. 1:49:32.040 --> 1:49:34.760 What you say is they're unwilling to say Elders definitively right. 1:49:34.800 --> 1:49:36.800 I never said anything definitive about what I said. I 1:49:36.800 --> 1:49:39.000 said almost fifty percent, which I would have thought would 1:49:39.000 --> 1:49:40.960 also have given me some wiggle room. So again, yeah, 1:49:41.400 --> 1:49:43.120 I'm delivering the point. 1:49:43.120 --> 1:49:45.400 Eric, we're not talking about that are really important that, 1:49:45.520 --> 1:49:47.520 for instance, the thirty five percent. 1:49:47.320 --> 1:49:49.360 Number which you're quoting several times. 1:49:49.120 --> 1:49:53.440 Also factors in Medicare and social Security. Those are benefits 1:49:53.520 --> 1:49:57.720 to quite frankly all Americans, and so to say that 1:49:57.800 --> 1:50:00.599 number is while accurate, you're also forget that a lot 1:50:00.600 --> 1:50:02.560 of that money will eventually some of that money I 1:50:02.560 --> 1:50:04.559 don't know, because I don't know how much will return 1:50:04.600 --> 1:50:07.559 to Americas. And so really there are there are other 1:50:07.680 --> 1:50:11.200 things that in your statement that you guys said. 1:50:11.280 --> 1:50:12.559 You guys said I was accurate. 1:50:13.240 --> 1:50:14.720 You said I was accurate, but. 1:50:14.760 --> 1:50:16.719 I also said, but I also said. 1:50:16.520 --> 1:50:17.679 A more complicated picture. 1:50:17.720 --> 1:50:19.920 I'm saying you said, they take, they take, but they 1:50:19.960 --> 1:50:24.000 also give right the cost of mandates and regulations. Okay, 1:50:24.040 --> 1:50:26.040 so if are we talking about things like building the 1:50:26.240 --> 1:50:28.479 highway system, well, there's certainly a benefit to the. 1:50:28.520 --> 1:50:29.719 Highway system as well. 1:50:30.000 --> 1:50:31.960 I mean the government could choose not to build one, 1:50:32.000 --> 1:50:34.559 but then uh, I mean people would that was the 1:50:34.600 --> 1:50:36.599 private sector have to come in that somebody would pay 1:50:36.640 --> 1:50:40.200 for it anyway, and it's a very difficult thing to prove. 1:50:40.200 --> 1:50:40.280 And. 1:50:41.760 --> 1:50:44.519 They're in the organization that that is headed up by 1:50:44.560 --> 1:50:46.120 glovernrquis put a number on it. 1:50:46.200 --> 1:50:47.120 You just didn't like it. 1:50:48.080 --> 1:50:49.960 Well, just because in fact there was a it's a 1:50:50.000 --> 1:50:52.880 gross number. That number, I think, uh, it did not 1:50:54.200 --> 1:50:56.840 try the factor in any of the benefits, Uh, any 1:50:56.880 --> 1:51:00.000 of the essentially the benefits that the American people can't 1:51:00.240 --> 1:51:03.680 for sending their dollars to Washington or my case, tallahassee 1:51:04.720 --> 1:51:05.320 bottom line. 1:51:05.320 --> 1:51:08.160 Aaron Trockman, I think you were soft on a show. 1:51:08.200 --> 1:51:09.760 It's hard on me. I think you were unfair, and 1:51:09.760 --> 1:51:10.840 I think that's a bias. 1:51:11.120 --> 1:51:14.920 Well, and it's I would say this to me, anything 1:51:14.920 --> 1:51:17.519 other than a true rating is we're saying there's something, 1:51:17.680 --> 1:51:19.560 there's something more about the statement than it needs to 1:51:19.600 --> 1:51:22.120 be kind of considered and a half. To me, a 1:51:22.160 --> 1:51:23.280 hash through isn't a good reading. 1:51:23.640 --> 1:51:26.519 Uh, it's better than mostly wrong, mostly false, which is 1:51:26.520 --> 1:51:29.360 what you gave me. Well, and I think that the 1:51:30.400 --> 1:51:32.040 and I and I and I and I am respectfully 1:51:32.080 --> 1:51:34.000 requesting that you revisit this and put out a new 1:51:34.000 --> 1:51:38.439 statement and change it. Yeah, respectful, respect respectfully requesting that 1:51:38.920 --> 1:51:39.479 I understand. 1:51:39.640 --> 1:51:42.160 I think there's two there's with your specific statement. Again, 1:51:42.160 --> 1:51:43.720 I don't want to go into comparison because I can 1:51:43.720 --> 1:51:46.920 find other items that you know when they I don't 1:51:46.920 --> 1:51:48.800 even know what they would saying. Because any any two 1:51:48.840 --> 1:51:51.759 items in isolation, you can make any any any conclusion 1:51:51.840 --> 1:51:54.360 want to reach. I would say this for me again, 1:51:54.560 --> 1:51:58.720 two major issues. One was the fifty percent number or almost. 1:51:58.479 --> 1:51:59.639 Sixty almost a person. 1:52:00.080 --> 1:52:01.639 Yes, very difficult number. 1:52:01.520 --> 1:52:02.120 To figure out. 1:52:02.920 --> 1:52:07.679 We couldn't find anyone who who agreed with the Americans 1:52:07.840 --> 1:52:12.240 tax reform number or your number and said and can 1:52:12.320 --> 1:52:14.479 come up with a number. So that's number one. The 1:52:14.520 --> 1:52:16.360 same thing, which is also really important that we didn't 1:52:16.360 --> 1:52:18.880 get to really talk about again, is you said the 1:52:18.960 --> 1:52:23.280 government takes almost fifty percent of your money, Americans money. 1:52:23.800 --> 1:52:27.799 That is not accurate because you are equating the money 1:52:27.800 --> 1:52:32.240 that we pay send to Washington or Tallahassee with the 1:52:32.320 --> 1:52:35.320 money that the government spends. We're only looking at spending, 1:52:35.640 --> 1:52:39.559 so you're including seventeen billion dollars in debt that they 1:52:39.600 --> 1:52:42.400 never took out of my paycheck or your Aaron. 1:52:42.439 --> 1:52:44.680 The bottom line is reasonable. People can disagree, but my 1:52:44.760 --> 1:52:47.759 figure was not outlandish. It does not warrant a mostly 1:52:47.800 --> 1:52:49.639 false rating in my opinion. But Aaron, I got to run. 1:52:49.680 --> 1:52:51.599 Thank you for coming on. I appreciate it, and again 1:52:51.960 --> 1:52:54.840 respectfully requesting that you would revisit this and do another analysis. 1:52:55.200 --> 1:52:56.360 Okay, thank you for any time. 1:52:56.479 --> 1:53:01.200 Got it. Well, that was entertaining. Angel Reese is a 1:53:01.280 --> 1:53:04.960 WNBA star. She said this about her role as a 1:53:05.040 --> 1:53:06.479 roll bottle number forty five. 1:53:07.320 --> 1:53:08.920 What were some of the dolls you played with when 1:53:08.960 --> 1:53:09.479 you were little? 1:53:10.360 --> 1:53:13.480 Honestly, I didn't have a lot of dolls because I didn't. 1:53:13.240 --> 1:53:14.720 Have dolls that really looked like me much. 1:53:14.800 --> 1:53:16.519 And that's why I kind of really wanted to make 1:53:16.520 --> 1:53:20.240 sure this was super intentional, because now they have a 1:53:20.280 --> 1:53:23.559 doll that looks like you and nails and hair, but 1:53:23.640 --> 1:53:26.040 also you can be a killer on the court as well, 1:53:26.160 --> 1:53:28.719 So dolls dolls tarting to have a reportance for me when. 1:53:28.560 --> 1:53:29.120 Getting the doll. 1:53:29.960 --> 1:53:31.640 So now she has a doll, and she wants to 1:53:31.640 --> 1:53:33.479 be intentional because she says when she was growing up, 1:53:33.520 --> 1:53:36.559 she didn't have a black doll. She was born in 1:53:36.560 --> 1:53:40.880 two thousand two. Nineteen sixty eight, Mattel introduced Christi, the 1:53:40.920 --> 1:53:44.040 first black doll in the Barbie family. Now Christy was 1:53:44.080 --> 1:53:46.759 just a friend rather than Barbie herself, but in nineteen 1:53:46.800 --> 1:53:50.480 eighty Mattel released the first doll officially named Black Barbie. 1:53:51.920 --> 1:53:54.160 The doll was designed by a black designer named Kitty 1:53:54.240 --> 1:54:00.000 Black Perkins, who became Mattel's first black fashion designer. Nineteen eight. 1:54:00.760 --> 1:54:03.599 Mattel steadily expanded the range of Black Barbies with different 1:54:03.640 --> 1:54:11.599 skin tones, different facial appearances, facial features, hairstyles, careers, body types, 1:54:11.880 --> 1:54:16.880 and fashions. Just saying now when it comes to supplements, 1:54:17.040 --> 1:54:19.960 two things matter most that it works and that you 1:54:20.000 --> 1:54:23.400 can trust it.

Joni shared that before 1:54:31.439 --> 1:54:33.560 Relief Factor, her husband couldn't open his hands in the 1:54:33.600 --> 1:54:36.240 morning and had to give up playing guitar. Now he 1:54:36.280 --> 1:54:38.680 wakes up with flexibility in his back to playing music. 1:54:38.960 --> 1:54:41.280 They're both recommending Relief Factor to friends as a way 1:54:41.320 --> 1:54:44.000 to enjoy the things they love again.

I. M. Larry Elder, 1:55:33.880 --> 1:55:40.160 Salem News Channel, Senator John Kennedy try to get a 1:55:40.200 --> 1:55:43.600 handle around how much fraud is costing the American taxpayer 1:55:43.600 --> 1:55:45.960 at number twenty nine. 1:55:47.160 --> 1:55:52.800 Now, what's your best guess as to how much per 1:55:52.920 --> 1:56:00.000 year this this cheating costs the federal tax payer. 1:56:00.320 --> 1:56:04.040 We released a report on this yesterday, Senator and estimated 1:56:04.080 --> 1:56:06.600 that it's thirty three billion dollars. It was thirty three 1:56:06.640 --> 1:56:08.480 billion dollars in twenty twenty four. 1:56:09.240 --> 1:56:15.760 Okay, and that's thirty three billion dollars that is taken 1:56:15.880 --> 1:56:19.560 away from the people who really need medicaid. Is that right? 1:56:20.360 --> 1:56:20.680 Yes? 1:56:21.680 --> 1:56:22.000 Okay. 1:56:22.600 --> 1:56:24.680 Has anybody gone to jail for doing this? 1:56:25.800 --> 1:56:26.840 Not to my knowledge. 1:56:27.360 --> 1:56:29.480 Don't you think we ought to start putting people in 1:56:29.560 --> 1:56:30.480 jail for cheating? 1:56:31.760 --> 1:56:34.360 I think that it's financial fraud against the federal government. 1:56:34.440 --> 1:56:41.240 Yes, And this deputy administrator over these programs gave a 1:56:41.240 --> 1:56:45.960 major update on the fraud crackdown in California. Number twenty eight. 1:56:46.840 --> 1:56:48.680 I want to build on that with an update on 1:56:48.680 --> 1:56:51.560 one of the areas where we'd made the most progress, hospice. 1:56:51.920 --> 1:56:55.440 Since President Trump took office, one thousand and seventy six 1:56:55.520 --> 1:57:00.000 hospices have been removed from the Medicare program in California alone, 1:57:00.040 --> 1:57:03.200 represents a forty seven percent reduction in the number of 1:57:03.200 --> 1:57:06.480 California hospices compared to the peak during the Biden administration. 1:57:06.920 --> 1:57:10.240 To put that in context, Los Angeles County alone had 1:57:10.240 --> 1:57:14.560 more than one and fifty hospices. So these are hospices 1:57:14.600 --> 1:57:17.040 that are no longer under review. They're not on a 1:57:17.080 --> 1:57:20.720 watch list. They are gone, thrown out of the program, entirely, 1:57:21.080 --> 1:57:24.360 unable to build Medicare, unable to touch another taxpayer dollar, 1:57:24.720 --> 1:57:27.520 unable to take advantage of another vulnerable benefituary. 1:57:29.120 --> 1:57:33.560 This former Medicaid official, however, says states are not cheating. 1:57:34.160 --> 1:57:38.080 Sara to Kennedy not amused number forty. 1:57:39.040 --> 1:57:41.440 Sure, I'm sure. Don't you think we ought to put 1:57:41.480 --> 1:57:42.880 people in jail for cheating? 1:57:44.800 --> 1:57:48.240 Senator? I do not believe states are cheating. 1:57:48.800 --> 1:57:49.480 You don't believe that. 1:57:49.520 --> 1:57:51.200 I do not believe that if they. 1:57:51.080 --> 1:57:58.800 Were cheating, what planet did you just parachute in from? Sure, sir, 1:58:00.240 --> 1:58:02.400 you've worked on this have you worked on this program 1:58:02.440 --> 1:58:03.200 for a long time? 1:58:03.240 --> 1:58:08.080 But I don't believe believe you cheating. I do not 1:58:08.120 --> 1:58:08.760 believe States. 1:58:08.760 --> 1:58:15.520 Are you believe in the truth fairy? Sure? Do you 1:58:15.560 --> 1:58:20.760 believe in the Easter Bunny? Do you believe that Jimmy 1:58:20.760 --> 1:58:25.160 Hoffa died of natural causes? You're not answering. 1:58:25.880 --> 1:58:29.040 I do not believe States are cheating in their administration 1:58:29.080 --> 1:58:39.000 of the Medicaid. Let's do this again tomorrow, be on time. 1:58:39.040 --> 1:58:40.840 I will God bless. 1:58:43.320 --> 1:58:51.680 What can I say?
