1:01that's ReliefFactor.com. We are going to revisit the Palestinian state that was offered during the Clinton administration. And how was turned down because Palestinian leader Yasser Arifat refused to renounce violence. Hollywood actress talks about the discrimination conservative face in the industry. Speaking of Hollywood, American isilist moving out of LA and moving to Georgia because of taxes. The Energy Secretary says 18 million barrels of oil came out of the Persian Gulf last night near the Strait of Pramous, which is approaching near-pre-war levels. A.P. Morgan analyst says the economy is resilient and can withstand rising oil prices. We're finally going to get to the advice of Black law enforcement consulting gave to Black children. Comedian Juan de Sikes, who is Black, was asked if her white children should pay her reparations. Her response was interesting. More widespread fraud is uncovered by the Trump administration. Where's the applause?

2:03School discipline plummeted under the Obama administration. What could possibly go wrong? All of this in more of AAA-971-SH-E-889717243. Before we turn to the Palestinian state, it was offered to Yasser Arfat and was turned down. It's very important given the assertion that the Israelis are engaging in genocide. They want to take over the territory currently occupied by the Palestinians, which is a big fat lie. Before we get to that, oil prices have jumped back over $100 a barrel. But according to an analyst with J.P. Morgan, the US economy can take it. And she explains why. The price of gold is a price of oil, rather. She says it's not nearly as meaningful as it was. Why? Because the cost of gas as a percentage of total disposable income is near historic lows.

3:09I repeat, the cost of gas as a percentage of money coming out of your wallet or your purse is near historic lows. Americans spend an average of 2.5% of their income at the pump today. That's down from 6% during the oil price shock of the 1970s and 1980s. Also, consumers have cash buffers and lower debt levels today. Here is what this analyst said, and I'm quoting her. After several rounds of fiscal stimulus, tariff refunds, and tax cuts, households have largely the leverage, which means borrowing less, to multi-decade lows, creating a larger buffer against higher prices. In the quote, what? So you mean Americans are making more money or more

4:11prosperous. And therefore, the bite of gas out of the average income is smaller than it used to be. So therefore, the impact is smaller than it used to be of rising gas prices. I know it's a complicated repeat with people that hate Donald Trump's guts because you don't want to get him credit for anything, but she also said this, that more and more CEOs are confident. Quote, investors are no longer pricing a worst case scenario that would inhibit the economy and by extension the stock market. A world where oil is expensive but supply remains available is fundamentally different from one in which investors are trying to assess whether a substantial share of global production could disappear overnight. Long way of saying, the price may be higher, but the availability is there. Few more things, too.

5:12I'm sure Magic, Mike is listening and probably seizing, but I'm going to try to go slow. I don't want to hurt his feelings. CEO confidence is at a four year high, the highest since 2022. And then optimism is spilling over to plans to hire more workers. Business round table CEO economic outlook index has climbed three points. Fifth consecutive increase and well above the historical average of 83. The index has climbed steadily from a five year low after President Trump's liberation day, tariffs early last year. This, by the way, is written in axioms, which is not conservative. Survey was conducted August 31 through September 11, a period that happened to coincide with the new US Canada tariffs taking effect and growing tensions in Iran.

6:17Yet CEOs still grew more upbeat. Just thing on Mr. McConnell, is this thing really on? Is it Mike on? Is he sure it's on? So good economic news then. But we're in an affordability crisis. As I mentioned, CEOs are more upbeat. Sales and investment plans remain well above historical norms. The hiring index jumped seven points to 58, just a little under its long term average of 61. Business round table CEO Joshua Bolton said, in a statement quote, the increase in hiring plans is encouraging, even as the broader economic picture remains mixed. End of quote. A larger share of CEOs planned to hire workers

7:19and a smaller group expects cuts. 36% expect employment to rise over the next six months. 37% expect no change. So that's what's that 73% no change or better. In this contrast with the consumer index sentiment, which fell. Second, lowest reading on record. So the people who are doing the hiring, people who are doing the investing, the people whose job it is to make sure that they make goods, services, products, people want, are optimistic. Now, why would consumer sentiment be so adverse to how CEOs feel? Very simple. They're getting their news from Google, from Apple,

8:19from Microsoft, from Yahoo, from YouTube, and from TikTok. And as we've talked about for a long time, these are algorithms, meaning you get your news off your smartphone, your smartphone, directs the kinds of news that you want. And if you are somebody who hates Donald Trump's guts, believe that Donald Trump is destroying the world, destroying the country, destroying the economy, you're going to get news that reinforces your view because they want you to stay on your phone longer and longer and longer. You won't be better informed. You have a bunch of stuff that confirms what you think, but you won't be any better informed. You're not reading the Wall Street Journal. They're not in your news feed. You're not hearing them from conservatives. You're not reading the national review. It's not in your feed, where a whole different point of view

9:23exists. So to repeat, the percentage gas takes out of your income is at historical lows because people are so much better off than they were in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. The cost of gas, as a percentage of total disposable income is near historic lows, says this analyst at JPMorgan, who as far as I know, it's not a Trump supporter. Jamie Diamond did not give money to Trump. In fact, he's a lifelong Democrat, the CEO of JPMorgan. Now, we're going to talk about the deal that was offered to the Palestinians at the end of the Clinton administration. For those who consistently say that Israel's committing

10:26a genocide, they don't want a two-state solution, be renautinated, and Yahoo! It doesn't want to, hey, everybody wants a two-state solution. The question is, if and when there is a Palestinian state, will it be peaceful? Or will it serve as has Gaza as a launching pad for rockets into Israel? Will it serve as has the part of Lebanon next to Israel as a launching pad for more rockets? But a deal was offered. All Yastra offered had to do with renounced terror, renounced violence, refused to do it. We're going to revisit that. Now, when it comes to supplements, two things matter most that it works, and you can trust it. Rather than just tell you about relief factor, we let our customers do it. We hear from people every single day whose lives have changed. We'd like you to hear a few of their stories. Pastor Bill strained his back around Christmas 2025

11:28and was in tremendous pain. After starting relief factor within a few days, his pain was gone, and he had full flexibility. He calls it a miracle and recommends it to anyone dealing with pain.

Some people absolutely have the gift of prophecy. If God exists, how would He inject his information into our world more than likely He would use humans?

By the way, a continuous West Bank, some say that there were just cantons and they were broken up, not true. Free passage between Gaza and the West Bank, the Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital. So they'd be sharing the capital with Jerusalem. An international present replacing Israeli forces

13:29in the Jordan Valley, refugee return to the Palestinian state and a $30 billion international fund. As a condition, our thought was asked to accept Israeli sovereignty over the Western Wall and other Jewish holy sites, specified security arrangements, a refugee formula that excluded an unlimited right to return to Israel. But most of all, most important, declare conflict was over, renounce the violence. This is what Dennis Ross, the envoy, said about this. Number 75. Any one of the things that you explore and I think one of the things most interesting for me in the book was what happened at Camp David? I was actually still writing at that time and ever since then, there's been this huge debate.

14:34Barack offered everything and that our thought turned it down. Our thought offered nothing and it's all his fault. What actually happened at Camp David? Well, for those who read the book, you'll see several things. First you'll get a day-by-day account, which in fact, at the end of each day, just to explain how I put that together. At the end of each day, I was responsible for shaping what we would do each day. And at the end of each day, it didn't matter if it was four in the morning, five in the morning, or six in the morning, I would sit down and recount what happened. And I actually needed to do that, not as it turns out for posterity, although it turned out to be quite useful. I needed to do it because each day we would have a strategy and it would turn out that we weren't able to, for a variety of reasons as you'll see, we didn't stick to our strategy. So having not been strong enough on our strategy, I would then have to figure out, all right, here's what actually happened today, as opposed to what we wanted. And then I'd have to shape what we would do the next day. Well, that provided an extraordinary record of exactly what had gotten gone on.

15:34So A, there is a record that is embodied in the book on Camp David. B, there are a lot of methodologies about Camp David. It's also why I have put in the book two maps, a map which actually compares what our fat says he would offered with what it is we actually offered, both at Camp David and later on. And you'll see there is an enormous gap between the two. Now the fact is, at Camp David, our fat offered personally absolutely nothing. The only new idea our fat raised in the two weeks that we were at Camp David is that the temple did not exist in Jerusalem, hardly an indication of someone who was committed to reconciliation with his negotiating partner when you questioned the core of the other side's face. It wasn't new idea though. It was certainly a new idea. In fact, when he first mentioned it in my presence and he said the temple didn't exist in Jerusalem and existed in Nobles. I thought he was joking. He said no better and I said, well you better watch out because he's really well now claimed Nobles. And lo and behold, he said no. So he didn't offer anything but the fact is

16:36his negotiators did. And it's actually an important thing to bear in mind. His negotiators agreed or at least presented three basic concessions. One is that in fact they would accept the principle of three settlement blocks in the West Bank to accommodate 80% of the settlers. They didn't agree on what the geographic size of the settlement blocks would be, but they presented this. Two, they accepted that all the Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem would be part of Israel. Now bear in mind, all those neighborhoods are beyond the June 467 line. And the third thing is they accepted a limited security presence for the Israelis and the West Bank. Now we didn't hear that from our fat. But his negotiators did say that and it's important to present that not only because it's true, but it has two messages. One is to an Israeli audience that says, all right, we can understand that the way you view our fat. But bear in mind, there are Palestinian partners out there who are prepared to do things that in fact represented a significant move for them. And secondly, it's even more important in my mind

17:37for Palestinians to see that they had negotiators who were prepared to do this and that compromise is acceptable and that people who are credible in Palestinian terms were prepared to present that. And so for all the people that are suggesting that Israel has zero interest in a, so quote unquote two-state solution, please revisit what happened, Camp David 2000. Virtually everything, they claimed that they wanted they got and still walked away. Why could not renounce the violence which suggests there really isn't a desire to live peacefully side-by-side with a Jewish state called Israel? Now, on Iran, the energy secretary says that 18 million barrels of oil surged out of the Persian Gulf region last night, which means we're now almost at pre-war levels, number 81. Iranian behavior, I will tell you,

18:39we've risen the flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf to record highs right now. About 18 million barrels flowed out yesterday, basically pre-conflict levels, oil production were fixing that problem, refining is the bigger problem. That is impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the loss of refining capacity in Russia. And of course, we're still reeling from the Democrat-driven closure of refineries all across the United States. If we had all those refineries that were closed, we would have dramatically lower gasoline and diesel prices today. But we will fix that problem, but we can't unwind all the Democrat damage immediately. I wish we could. He's specifically talking about Gavin Newsom, number 83. I'd encelebrated shutting down oil and gas production, closing refineries. Gavin Newsom is closed to large refineries in California over the last 12 months.

19:39That's how you drive up energy prices permanently. The Trump administration has done everything we can to reverse those policies. In fact, we're working with American refineries right now to increase American refining capacity to help people build new production facilities in our country. We're about energy addition. That's the only way to lower prices in the long term. Gasoline prices were higher four years ago in the Biden administration with normal life. Now we have a major conflict with Iran that we will win and we will resolve. And that has temporarily pushed them up. Believe me, President Trump does not want the Americans paying any more than necessary for energy prices, but the world cannot live with the nuclear armed Iran. And diesel prices, gasoline prices, all of them will be coming back down. That's President Trump's energy addition policies. You saw them before this conflict. You'll see them for the rest of this administration. OK. And to repeat during the Obama administration, the administration said that Iran was, quote,

20:41two to three months away, close, quote, from developing enough weapons-grade material to make at least one bomb. Under the Biden administration, he said they were, quote, one to two weeks away, close, quote. But overwhelmingly, Democrats do not believe this. They believe that Donald Trump just lied. Don't leave town. Don't leave town. AAA-971-SH-E-A-A-971-7243-I-M-L-L-R-Y-O-D-We-R-Sail-and-News Channel. Paul is in Los Angeles. He is an economic professor. Paul, thank you very much for calling. I appreciate it. Oh, look at that. Two girls are coming in. Hello, Paul. Paul, you're on. Are you on it? Paul, you're on. Paul. Look at live, Paul. Paul, you're on. You're doing like- Oh, my goodness. I'm putting him on hold.

21:41Tell Paul that I tried to get him on. He should be ready to come on. My goodness. Phil is in Honolulu. Phil, how are you? Hey, Larry. Can you hear me, OK? I hear you fine, Phil. Thank you for calling. I appreciate it. Last time I spoke to you, we were talking about moms, maybe a Maxine Waters. But anyway, that was something we thought was sort of funny. Separated it, birth. Separated it, birth. Except, mom's maybe is funny and- Yes, it's refinery. Except mom's maybe is funny and entertaining. Yeah, man. I loved every minute as she was around. Yeah. Anyway, I keep hearing that the problem with these refineries in the United States, we have a refinery out here that was closed about two years ago, three years ago, maybe. And I wonder what it would take for the administration to find out that what to determine whether it would be right

22:43to maybe re-get this thing generated back up? That's an interesting question. I don't know what it would take. My brother was in the oil business. He worked at a refinery. And all I know is that they are complicated. And you can't just switch them down and it turned it on and it switched like that. And the issue is that these refineries are privately owned. Now, if they're being shut down, being pressured by government, how are they going to get open? You still have Gavin Newsom here. Unless Donald Trump declares a national emergency and then forces them to be reopened. But I suspect there's a way of doing it. But I really don't know. Thank you for calling. I'll look into it. Do we have our economists from LA yet? Ready to do it? I guess not. All right. Let's talk more about this Hassan Piker. I just came across another quote of his.

23:44And the importance is that this guy has millions and millions of followers unlike David Duke, who is a non-factor. When Donald Trump ran into 2016, well, you were announced David Duke. Well, you were announced David Duke. You were announced David Duke. You were announced him over and over and over again. Here's what Hassan Piker said. And I'm quoting him, we want more immigrants to come into your country. Then we're going to F your sister. And then maybe even your daughter. We're going to destroy the right, the right, the white race, be word. That's what we're here to do. He also said this, number 79. Because I'm in the United States of America, the most country on the fucking planet, the absolute worst country on the planet, straight up bar none, a capital of pull. Taya, now I was not the opportunity for you to down.

24:47He's yelling at his dog. The absolute worst place on the planet, just a horrific monstrous, awful dog country that I despise, the absolute worst country that has the most, the most wealth throughout history, throughout time, the wealthiest nation on the planet. And we don't have a fraction of the, the dedicated broadband speed that you can get in a village on the countryside of France. Okay, I just, the worst infrastructure, the absolute biggest whole on the planet, I despise this nation, I despise this country with my entire fucking heart. Okay, I think we get the point, Mr. Piker.

25:47Multimillion dollar house in West Hollywood estimated makes two three million dollars a year and that worth estimated between six and nine million dollars. I'm sure that you'd be able to leave this country and find another country where there aren't nearly as many white people. Can you be happier? What a fraud. I hate this effing place, the worst country in the world, more generous than any other country, more money donated for the welfare of other people, the American people are far more generous than the Japanese Germans, the British. The conservatives are more generous with their time with their money than liberals. I've talked to you for years about this book called Who Really Care by Arthur C. Brooks. He was a public policy professor at Syracuse, wanted to do a paper on a copy that nobody

26:51had ever done something on, looked around and found out nobody had ever written a paper on whether liberals were more generous with their time with their money than conservatives. He assumed the answer would be liberals because after all that's their image, caring, kind, empathetic, compassionate, care far more about the poor. It turns out conservatives gave far more money and far more of their time than liberals did. Wasn't even close, but that's not the image, is it? 61% of Democrats believe Republicans are racist, bigoted, sexist. Only 30% Republicans feel that way about them, about them. Why is that? I'm Larry Elder. 888-971. S8GE-8897-1743.

It's a blessing that you do that.

29:57Every day, there's another headline about artificial intelligence. It's moving faster than most of us imagined, raising an important question. Where's all this headed? That's why I think you're going to love Carbon Zero. Carbon Zero, the latest novel from AI pioneer Craig W. Stanfield, who understands both AI's incredible potential and the very real risks. I got an advanced copy. Honestly, I cannot put this down. I loved this book. In the story, one seemingly harmless instruction to an advanced AI sets off a chain of events. No one saw coming. It's a fast-paced thriller. What makes it especially compelling is how believable it feels. And how easily something like this could become a real world concern. Carbon Zero releases September 19th, so now's the time to pre-order. For a limited time, the Kindle edition is just $2.99, but the price goes up after release.

30:57I was watching the Federal Reserve guy that Donald Trump's biggest problem. It's not firing people. It's the ones he's been hiring. You remember when he was talking about the one that was fire there? What was his name, Paul? Right. The one that left and then took over the appa fed. He kept on mentioning why in the world would he raise the rate? It was Jerome Powell. He kept calling him wrong about everything. Remember he's in my right or wrong, Larry? He did say to the people, Powell. No, he said he raised it right before the election. He sure did. He sure did. And guess what? So this guy that he believed in went along and now it's unanimous within there. For a quarter point raise, I might point to you and to the audience. And you have a great audience out there.

31:58A quarter point will do nothing for this economy, nothing whatsoever. But it does give a message to people, another negative against Trump at the midterm, marably done. What would a quarter point do, Larry, with a $40 trillion deficit? I think that's causing inflation and you don't hear barrens, the Wall Street Journal, financial times of London. There are plenty of reporters out there. Why would you not ask him with financial people there? Because the first thing any good one would do and I bet you would too. You would say the real cause of the inflation is they're printing money all day long. And that's the deal. You cannot get away from that Larry one IO. You are printing money to finance the debt because of all this excess spending. Yes. You got it. So God bless you and God bless the audience. But obviously he's doing wrong there.

32:58And I think when he thinks like a businessman, certain times it's great. But when you think of that like with Iran and I think you mentioned that I heard you talking too. And I think people that believed in him when he started saying I've got a deal to end this. There is no deal with these maniacs. You really have to stop them. There is no deal and he thought the same thing to Bill Clinton thought. I'm such a masterful negotiator. I can do it better than those guys can. And he underestimated the deadly intentions of these people. And I mean deadly. And putting military munitions and stockpiles underneath schools and daycare centers and hospitals and mosques. And not allowing citizens non combatant citizens to go in these underground tunnels that they have prepared for their fighters.

34:00A lot of people don't know that that referred to Israel as having committed a genocide. Why were so many civilians killed in part because Hamas would not allow them to go underground where they would be safer where they were. What kind of army does that? Paul, thank you very much for the call. I appreciate it. Steve is in Honolulu. Steve here in the Larry old is show. Thank you so much for calling. Hi, I'm joining a show. Thank you. And I really like your music, by the way. Thank you. I'm going. So kind of a follow up on your last caller and on something that you said in the first segment of the show about people. You know, they're in an echo chamber. If you're you're reading, you know, you're reading Yahoo news or something like that. That it's just going to make you hear what you want to hear.

35:01And that people should be looking for other sources like, and you mentioned at that point, the Wall Street Journal and National Review. And it just so happened that this is just a coincidence. I happened to have just gotten out of the library here where we can read those publications for free. And I was I was in today's Wall Street Journal. And I also took a peek at the National Review. If they both supported Kevin Wars' increasing of the of the fed rate by a quarter point, they were both in favor of it. So that's interesting because you would think if they were supporting the president, they would be there would be gistens. But it looks like both the Wall Street Journal and I read several columns of Wall Street Journal, not just the editorial, but other common to that several other.

36:03It's a big story today in financial news, as you probably know. It really is a big story. Steve, we only have a little bit of time. I want to say something real quickly about the Wall Street Journal and the National Review. When Donald Trump was running in 2016, the National Review vote a very scathing article about him did not want him to be president. And the Wall Street Journal has frequently criticized the president on all sorts of policies, including economic policies. And by the way, the news part of the Wall Street Journal is just as liberal as the early time of the New York Times. When we come back, why are only Republicans concerned about fraud? More and more fraud, all of the country being exposed. All of this is more AAA971S8GE AAA97171-7243-DoNot. Leave town.

37:08Oh, no, don't make your heart beat. Oh, no. AAA971S8GE AAA971-7243-DoNot. I am Larry Elder. We are a Salem News Channel. So much to get to between now and the close of the program. We talk about a Hollywood actress. Talks about the discrimination and conservative face in the industry. The thinking of Hollywood American Idol is moving out of LA and heading off to Georgia because of taxes. We're finally going to get the advice a black law enforcement consultant gave to black children. Comedian Juan de Sikes, who is black, was asked if her white children should pay her reparations. Her answer was interesting. And the Trump administration is exposing more and more fraud. Where is the applause? School discipline, plumbing under the Obama administration? What could possibly go wrong? All of this and more. Now, my fellow Americans, my fellow Eldorados, Medicare keeps squeezing you.

38:12Whether you've been on it for years or you're just turning 65, the premium is climb and the plans shift. And nobody tells you when yours stops fitting. You could be overpaying right now and not even know it. That's why you need to call a chapter. The only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide. Independent? Honest. They're not paid to steer you to certain plans. They advocate for you, not the carriers. Go to askchapter.org slash Larry. To look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your budget, then they find the plan that fits. And if you're already on the right one, they'll tell you. Straight. If not, they'll help you switch. Folks who switched the chapter last year save an average of $1100. It's fast, free, and it could save you thousands. Go to askchapter.org slash Larry today. That's askchapter.org slash Larry today. Neil is in the Bronx. Neil always nice to hear from you. Hi, Larry. Thanks for being here.

39:12I'm doing well, Neil. I'm going downtown on the memorial and round zero just a week. I was surprised that the medical staff and the men don't want to go down there. And they did something really disturbing down here. And the whole news. We saw them last, man. Yeah, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, o, c m on dummy. We're just cracking up over something. Yeah, you're right to take to Larry. The thing is, we're having downtown zero. I was down there to my self to go on the one. I saw them playing with me playing the computer. I was with that. I mean, the man right now, he, even, even did trouble. He doesn't know it yet, but I ain't going to assume nothing because, you know, like I told you to force. Well, Neil, Neil, no, not, not to cut you off,

40:15but you say he's in trouble. I saw his poll numbers. He got like a 52, 54% poll approval rating. What's that all about? What is about what it is? He just seeming to people. He thinks, you know, I'm at the body of the day, Larry. The bow was God told me and from the scripture, God says, looks like the ceiling. Well, I think giving away free stuff is very popular. Neil, thanks for the call. I appreciate it. God bless. So let's get her teed off. You want to play rock? Say hello to my new friend. What the hell's going on here? That's a big goal. You can't succeed without it. Triple eight, 9-1, S-A-G-E, Triple eight, 9-7-1, 7-2-4, 3. I am Larry Elder. We are Salem News Channel coming to you from the Relief Factor Studio.

41:15Don't forget your relief factor. 800-4 relief, 800-4 relief, relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. One of the themes, of course, the Democratic Party is that America remains a racist society during the Obama administration. Eric Holder was the AG. In Eric Holder, once said, when it comes to matters of race, America, quote, has been a nation of coward, to close court, whatever that means. Gave a speech. Ray said, you know, when it comes to blatant racism, that's no longer the case. That's no longer a problem in America. The real problem in America now is prenicious racism. He gave three examples. All were bogus. One example he gave was the push for voter ID.

42:18Why is it bogus? As an example, prenicious racism, well, because the percentage of blacks who support voter ID is about the same as percentage of whites. So a black source supporting prenicious racism when it comes to voter ID, please. The second example he gave is the fact that a black criminal defendant commits, who commits the same crime as a white criminal defendant, will get a longer sentence. And he cited the US Sensing Commission as his source. And he's right. It is true. What he didn't say is that the same US Sensing Commission said the reason for this is because the average black criminal defendant has more conviction than the average white criminal defendant. And judges, no matter the rate of the judge, takes that into consideration when the judge determines the sentence. So that's bogus. The third example he gave, and that's the one I want to talk about, is that black kids, usually black boys,

43:19are disciplined or expelled in a much higher percentage than the other races in a given public school. And there's also true. Why? Because they act out more than other races in a given public school. Now, what are the consequences if you don't discipline these kids? Not only do the kids who are interested in learning suffer because you have a disruptor in the class, it also sends a message that bad behavior has no real consequences. You can get away with anything. What lesson is that? How is that helping any kid, whether you're talking about the disruptor or the ones who don't disrupt? How's it helping them navigate through life as they become adults? Heather McDonnell, with the National City Journal, has done a lot of research on crime, on the quality of urban education, on school discipline.

44:24And here's what she said happened because of the Obama administration, under the leadership of people like Eric Holder, using the school officials and teachers and principals of racism by disciplining, quote, kids of color, quote, what that has done to educational levels in school discipline. Number 68. After the George Floyd race riots in 2020, a study was done at four large cities and black juveniles in those four cities were 100 times more likely to be shot. Then white juveniles in the same age cohort, 100 times. That is a level of crime that the rest of America turns its eyes away from. And the system decided we're just not going to enforce the law. And so the juvenile justice system in particular, in order to avoid disparate impact, has become increasingly incapable of administering punishment.

45:26The number of black males who were received final adjudications in the juvenile justice system, drops 67% from 2008 to 2021. The same thing happened in school discipline. The Obama Justice Department, the Biden Justice Department, decided that they would sue school districts if those school districts had disparate rates of school discipline. And so the school stopped suspending and subordinate kids stopped, you know, enforcing punishment, sent them instead to restorative peace circles. And the classrooms became unruly and children did not learn that there should be consequences for bad behavior. So that, Karin, I'm sorry to bring up an extremely painful truth that most Americans understandably don't want to look in the face. But that is the context in which these things need to be understood.

46:28These are the people Democrats have been voting for, decade after decade after decade. Not disciplining kids, causing the other kids suffer, teaching them there aren't any consequences for your action. As a result, crime will go up. And the people who are primarily victimized by the crime are the very black and brown people that people on the left report to care about. And Jacob Johnson talks about the damage to the country under Democrat leadership and under Democrat cities. Number 59. Remember this because it seems like a long time that's gone by, but this is just less than two years ago. We had a country on the brink of ruin. We had criminals and cartels had free reign over the border. You all remember that. Americans of all ages were dying from fentanyl overdoses, great scourge upon the country.

47:30Inflation soared to over 9% under Joe Biden of 40 year high. Our cities were awash with violent crime. The number one job of government is to protect people and property. Which is why we're so interesting to watch Casper tell. Talk about what he was doing. Number 62. He recalled I was educated by you and your colleagues in Tennessee during the confirmation process that Memphis had the highest per capita homicide rate in the country. And I said if we were, if I was confirmed, we would do something about that. And the president stood up his task force both in Washington DC and Memphis. But the FBI led the efforts prior to that and during the task force through Operation Viper. We did an operation by the way is deployed across at least 25 major cities across the country. It is our violent crime initiative task force that goes into these urban environments and seeks out ground level intelligence to work up title threes and search warrants to not just go in and do visible surveillance and visible operations.

48:41But we build a systematic campaign to collect intelligence and drive out the actual root causes of the crime of gang warfare. Which was the problem plaguing Memphis and the problem plaguing localized cities across America. We were able to apprehend not just the gang bangers and their firearms. We will able like we did in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia in the way that street gang we literally uprooted an entire city block and eliminated that entire street gang. We use that same concept in Memphis and we're going to continue to do that to move guns at rapid rates to find children that were missing for years and also most importantly to reduce the homicide rate. And return Memphis to the great city that it was. And of course the poll reflect that President Trump is getting credit for this. I was joking. Here's more from cash pretel number 78. The largest reduction in the murder rate in the history of America. We the FBI captured more than two and a half times the number of the top 10 most wanted fugitives on the FBI's list from the prior administration.

49:48In fact, Mr. Chairman, I'm proud to announce today and I hate to correct you. We haven't captured nine of the top 10 most individuals on our list. We've captured 10. Just this past weekend we captured a thug down in Venezuela who is on our most wanted list and on the run for years. He has been captured apprehended and is on his way back to the United States of America. That's 10 of 10. Nobody in the FBI history has done that. This year is just another example of how this FBI is capturing literally the worst of the worst all around the world. On top of that we've captured six of the most wanted fraudsters around the world. Taking the murder rate down 20 points is no easy effort. I'm in Los Angeles and there was a mayor named Mayor Han. He was elected Democrat of course with black support. When he was elected there was a black police chief. And when it came time to give him another four years, the mayor with white decided not to because he felt crime had gone up.

50:55Higher Dutch chief Bratton who was the former NYPD commissioner. Crime went down. However, because chief parks the black chief was popular among the politicians including especially Maxine Waters. She went on the war path and turned black voters against this mayor. And the mayor only served one term in large part because he completely lost black support and support from other liberals. Because Maxine Waters perceived the failure to give him another four years as an example of racism. They remind crime. When it comes to supplements two things matter most. It works and you can trust it. Other than just telling you about relief factor we let our customers do it. We hear from people every single day whose lives have changed.

He's a law enforcement consultant. He's a black father and he says he has a message for black kids. Number 25. So I'm a dad. I'm a black dad. And I have three beautiful children who I love with on my heart and all my life I tried to pour into them that they could be great that nothing could stop them. And the reason why I was able to do that is because my personal hero did the same for

54:01me. So as a dad, I'm talking to any young black boy girl. Won't you hear me? This is not a message about punching down on black people, anything else like that. I'm not about that. The thing I see as I love is not a criticism. But I want to share something with you that my dad shared with me that actually saved my life and saved my mind. And I'll never forget this one quote that my dad said to me saved me as a young black man and I have to share it as a dad. And this is what he said to me when I was 16 years old. He said, son, you didn't know you were oppressed until somebody told you you were. And I was real heavy at the time because now I have to put it in context as to why it was said. Today, we have a culture that continues to tell young black kids that America hates you

55:09and you can't be anything because America hates you. There is a strategic plan by groups of individuals who want to make you perpetually angry about a past you didn't live in. Paranoid about the present and terrified of a distant future to control you. By controlling you, keeping you right here while other races in this country move ahead by leaps and bounds. Let me put in the context what my dad said and saved my mind and saved my life. When I was 16 years old, I joined an activist group from my high school. It was a positive group. It started out. We were tired of hearing about slavery and MLK and Rosa Parks and that said, I mean, God bless all of them, but it wasn't a hate towards them. It was like, look, there's got to be more to black. Life in America than just us being slaves and Dr. Martin Luther King. There's got to be more to the story. So within our group, we were discovering, you know, inventors and great black Americans

56:14who did incredible things and it was very inspiring. And this lasted for about a couple of weeks and then one of our presidents ended up leaving and we got replaced by individual who would I now believe, you know, based on what I'm seeing today was a Marxist. Yes, Marxism existed back then in the 80s. I just didn't know what it was. But now that I'm in my 50s and I see what's going on in the world today, they were Marxists. He was a Marxist. And the tends of the group change from talking about our achievements, to talking about how America hates you, how evil America is, how to please route to kill you and basically everywhere you turn, somebody's allowed to take your take your life in the United States of America. And listening to this individual, I began becoming angry. I began to slowly hate the country I lived in. And as a result, I didn't want to learn the white man's history. I didn't want to learn the white man's math. I didn't want to learn a white man's English and science.

57:17English and science from our two favorite classes in high school. I loved it. I loved it until I joined this group and was told that I was learning the white man's education. Long story short, I was the first kid in my family to bring home three Fs. I was failing in school. And when I brought my report card to my mom and she looked at it and she was in tears and she said, just wait till your father gets home. And those, when you had a good strong father in the house, that's the last thing you wanted to hear. And my father got home and saw my report card. He came into my room and he said, so what do you know with these Fs, man? It's like, I sacrifice. I do all this for you guys. I was going on and I said, the white man ain't going to live anyway. And he got upset. He left the room and came back a little later and it looked like he had been crying to say, day, what's going on? He said, son, sit down and he talked to you. And at that moment, he began to tell me of everything he went through growing up in the Jim Crow South.

58:17Every day, there's another headline about artificial intelligence. It's moving faster than most of us imagined, raising an important question. Where's all this headed? That's why I think you're going to love carbon zero, carbon zero, the latest novel from AI pioneer Craig W. Stanfield, who understands both AI's incredible potential and the very real risks. I got an advanced copy. Honestly, I cannot put this down. I love this book. In the story, one seemingly harmless instruction to an advanced AI sets off a chain of events. No one saw coming. It's a fast paced thriller. But what makes it especially compelling is how believable it feels. And now easily something like this could become a real world concern. Carbon zero releases September 19th. So now's the time to preorder for a limited time. The Kindle edition is just $2.99. But the price goes up after release. Go to Amazon and search for carbon zero by Craig W. Stanfield and take advantage of the $2.99 preorder offer price before it's gone for good. Carbon zero by Craig W. Stanfield.

59:17Horror stories. Things that I couldn't even imagine, but I was laughing it up because I had already been indoctrinated to embrace our trauma instead of focus on our success. I had a literal living breathing success story sitting right in front of me. And here I am indoctrinated to focus on the trauma. And then my dad told me I went through what I went through and your ancestors. So you didn't have to go through it. There's nothing stopping you from reading a book. When I was your age, if I tried to read a book in sound smart, I'd probably get hung from a tree. He said, son, before you join this group, you believed you could be a great writer and you wanted to be a scientist, right? I said, yes, sir. He said, son, you want a poetry context to tell, pour your contest in a sixth grade beating out adults. You did that, right? I said, yes, sir.

1:00:18He said, son, you were only oppressed because someone told you you were. And when he said that to me, that started to change the trajectory of my life. And at that moment, I slowly began to realize that I was being manipulated. I was being manipulated into failure excuses and mediocrity. I had a loving father that told me the truth. Now he didn't tell me racism didn't exist. You'd be a fool to believe that racism doesn't exist in this country. It always has and it always will. But unlike my father's time, where he had to live with tangible, poppable cross-burning racism, I didn't have to live through what my father went through. And he was right. I was living in a time of opportunity. And as you're listening to me right now, if you're a young black man or woman, you're living in an incredible time of opportunity. Stop letting people manipulate you into believing or being angry about a past you didn't live

1:01:23in. Paranoid about the present and terrified of the future. Because that's what it is, it's some manipulation. You guys are capable of doing anything. I believe in you. This is a message of love, our criticism. I want you to be great. And I'm not telling you this, I'm going to be obstacles. But you're not living through what I went through. And I actually experienced racism as a freshman. I didn't experience what my dad went through. My dad didn't experience what my grandfather went through. And my grandfather didn't experience what my grandfather did. More on this when we return. 8971 SAGE, 8971, 7243. Very old. Very old. But somewhere, sometimes when you're curious, holding back around. Great question. We need to be instead of us older folks, instead of handing people the oppression back back generation and generation.

1:02:23We let these kids stand on our shoulders and build on what we did. And start thriving in this country. I believe in you. I believe in you. I had to share this message when I just look at the world today. And I see young kids have really been through what our ancestors went through. And already see life in homeless. I believe in you. This is the message of love, our criticism. I hope you take it. As such, just coming from a dad. Coming from a black man. I love you. My dad's words saved my life. And I hope they can save you. You're capable. In the name of God. 8971 SAGE, 8971, 7243. I am Larry. Over. We are Salem News Channel. That is Dion Joseph. He is a law enforcement consultant. Now notice that this club he belonged to undead.

1:03:30The self-improvement, personal responsibility, message that his father had drilled in him. This guy came from a good home. Came from a strong parent to emphasize hard work and education. He liked science. He liked studying English. And then he got into a group of people that told him how racist America is, how oppressed blacks are, and despite the strong foundation that he had, he began to develop what I call a victor-crat mentality. Which shows you how intense and strong that mentality is. Here is a guy who sounds to me like he thought like I do. Had same attitude that I have. But he was informed that he was a wrong attitude. Informed that he was really oppressed. He just didn't even know it. And so a lot of the work his father did unraveled until his father sat him down and sat him

1:04:37straight. A lot of these kids don't have a father like that to sit him down and sit him straight. It also shows you the power of indoctrination. I have a lot of friends who have sent their sons and daughters off to colleges, almost all their left wing. After one year, they come home for Christmas and come home from the summer. And these parents don't recognize who these kids are. They are talking about free Palestine, DEI, attacking capitalism. And who are you? I didn't send you off to school to learn this kind of nonsense. Denzel Washington did a movie, replayed a criminal defense lawyer. He's on the red carpet talking about his film. And a host is interviewing him.

1:05:38Happily be a black female. And she just assumed that he was going to talk about oppression and was shocked when he, she heard what he actually had to say. Let's hear it. Black people in particular, do you think that we can truly make change as things are right now? Well, it starts in the home. You know, if the father's not in the home, the boy will find the father in the streets. I saw it in my generation and every generation before me and in every one sense starts in the home. It was something I read where you talked about your people from Al Verne and saying that, you know, like they've done like 40 years in the penitentiary together. And you know, incarceration in the Americas has been a problem, especially as opposed to minorities. And Roman delves into this, the issues around the legal system. Do you think we've made any headway in the making?

1:06:40I think it's more important to make headway in our own house. By the time the system comes into play, the damage is done. They're not locking up seven-year-olds. Yeah. You know, I was in Chicago a couple of three, four weeks ago. And we saw these little kids on bikes with masks on the side of their head, like five or six up. And the driver said, yeah, they're little youngies. I said, who? Said little youngies. Look up. Google, little yummy. Little yummy was 11-year-old murderer. And you look at his picture, you'll see the headshot on him and he's like this. And he got murdered at 11 by a 14-year-old. Wow. Who's doing life now in a 16-year-old? That makes no sense. You blame the system? Where was his father? It starts in the house. It starts in the home. And yeah, well, my father got locked up. Or where was his father? Now that brings us to this discussion about black actors and pay of Octavia Spencer.

1:07:43She's one of the actors that was in the movie called The Help. She's complaining about the huge pay gap between black and white actors. Now, I've been around actors for a long time. My girlfriend is recovering actor. In irrespective of the race, they've complained about their pay. But she assumed the reason that she wasn't being paid, which she wanted to be paid is because she's black. Don't go away. Triple 8971, S-A-G-E, Triple 89717243, I am Larry Yolder. We are Salem News Channel, comedy from the Relief Actor Studio. Don't forget your Relief Actor, 800-4 Relief, 800-4 Relief, Relief Actor.com, then for Leaf Actor.com. Now you just heard the message of empowerment from Dion Joseph, a law enforcement consultant who's a black father, had a message for black kids that his father gave him. You heard what Dental Washington said when asked whether or not things are changed any. He said, much more important, have changed in your own home.

1:08:46Next hour, I'm going to play an exchange between an actress, very successful actress, and a host, and the actress was going BMW about how little money she makes compared to white actresses. So, from one message that you're not a victim to another message that no matter how successful you are on a very difficult profession, you're still a victim. Stick around for that. Anonymous teacher is in Southern California. Thank you very much for calling. I appreciate it. Hi, Larry. I've been listening to you back to the Stephen Miller days, so you know, a while. I teach at a placement for boys in Southern California. And I've been there about 30 years, and in that time, I've watched our numbers go from more than 200 students and staying for nine to 15 months. Now we barely can hit 30 students, and there's stay as an average of three to six months at best.

1:09:49The state of California now labels our students as mentally ill, even though they come out of games out of the inner city. They're in their crimes that they're committing are the same, but because of the crimes they're committing, they call them mentally ill, they give them a label, which obviously the kid run with. We're dealing with things that we never had to even, you know, 20 years ago. Have I lost you? It was just getting interesting. He has called anonymously, so I suspect maybe he didn't want somebody to hear him. Okay. Have I got you back? Hello? Can you hear me? Yeah, you just fell off for a moment. I don't know what happened. I don't know, but yeah, the kids there are arrested. I sent to juvenile Harlem and we bring them in. And what we try to do is, you know, turn their life around and 80 to 90% of my students,

1:10:56if they have a father at all, he's either incarcerated or he's not part of their daily life. A lot of them have stepfathers who are sadly abusive at times. Of course, most of my students are people of color who use that term. I can't stand. Yeah, it's a ridiculous term. Yeah, but it is what it is. And now all the students are considered like us at mentally ill, so we have to treat them for the mental illness rather than treating them that, hey, what you did is wrong. You need to turn your life around. You need to make better choices in life. You need to move on to, you know, here's all this that's offered to you. We offer a lot to the students, but unfortunately, we don't have, we're less than 50 kids now and have been for over probably three or five years. And you know, the average student is there, like I said, three to six months.

1:11:57So we can't make the changes we used to make. We have kids from 20 years ago that are now business owners and they've gone all over, you know, they've done many, they've done far in life. I'll put it that way. Not as much anymore because we just don't get the kids that we can work with. A lot of them, their goal in life is if they get left out, their whole, their comment is always growth, it happens, it happens. And I said, no, stupid, you sound. It's going to happen. I said, there's much more life and I try and teach them that, but I, of course, I don't know anything. And I, you know, I get that, I'm there still because I still feel like making a difference, but I've had to make it with individuals rather than trying to work with the entire group. But I do feel like maybe a difference over the years. In fact, I just had a kid, a kid, he was not a kid anymore. He now was working at our place, but he was on our campus 15 years ago.

1:12:58He's come in to work with us and he turned his life around when he was there. And we have many success stories from the past. But man, I'm so worried about the future because of what I'm seeing. Well, you're doing God's work. I remind me of something that Frederick Douglass once said. He said it is easy to build strong children into repair, into a repair broken men. And you're getting a lot of broken people. And it's really, really difficult for you to do something with that. But you hung in there for 30 some odd years? Bravo. I'm not leaving anytime soon, but it is getting more difficult to do. Tell me about your upbringing. Tell me about your father. My father was in my life until I was 18. He passed away at 18. He really got sick when I was about 16. So I grew up in essence without a father as well. But I had father figures in my life. My uncle, who is still here at 102 as a World War II vet.

1:14:01Wow. So he is the strongest man I know to this day. And I've had other coaches in my life. I've been a coach as well. I still am. And so I've had strong men in my life that have helped me develop into what I am. When I was younger, I ended up at a place where I was working with gang members. I was 18 and I didn't even realize what God was setting me up for. So I had a chance to develop what I now am doing. And I now know what God's plan was for me. And I know I'm not supposed to do this, but I do talk to the kids about faith. And I've had kids call me and say, I just got baptized. I don't thank you. So I'm proud of that as well. I know it's a public school teacher. I could probably, that's why I didn't want to use my name. Things like that could get me in trouble, but you know, some things are more important.

1:15:02Well, thank you for sharing with us. I really do appreciate it. As I said earlier, you are doing God's work. As I believe you are as well. Thank you, Larry. Thank you. Wow. That was powerful. It is easy to build strong children than to repair broken men. Now, you've heard me talk about relief factor for years because I believe in taking care of ourselves. We can enjoy life to the fullest.

1:18:08So kind of up and on I've been wearing out, but I'm coming back in time. Well I appreciate it. Listen, communism, Marxism, socialism. This is all connected. And the subject you've been speaking about this whole hour or the last couple of days, it's priceless. The thing about the Black fathers with the children at home, the family unit period. And I'm going to go back to my roots on my father's side, saying the Muslims, Islamic Muslims, they know the United States has been weak concerning family and God. And they are Europe in that part of the world is pretty much lost almost. And they're doing the same thing here in the United States. And this whole thing of racism that they're trying to do, pin this once against each other. My dad, I'm lefty now, my mom's a little darker Mexican, my father lighter, but being

1:19:10born in East LA, growing up in Central LA, like you were growing up in Central LA, but you grew up in South Central. The Black white, wet backs, Japanese, whatever. Right now, it's like clear as day, but they don't know about history as you do as I have. We've been educated. But the people that we're trying to help, I wish we could get the mainstream media arrested because this is all of the Islamic, that religion is communist Marxists, their penning in socialism, given free this, given free that. This is all connected and all intertwined. And this whole thing of racism in teaching some young girls. Yeah, it's what they perceive, meaning these Marxists that America to be America's weak spot. Got a role. Thank you very much for calling it. Let's get her teed up.

1:20:17Do you want to play rock, sand, off to my new friend? What the hell's going on here? That's a big ol' thing. You can't succeed without it. Number 8971 SAGE, 8971, 7243, I am Larry Elder, Salem News Channel. Now before I play you this clip, this is an actress named Octavia Spencer complaining about how little she paid compared to an actress named Jessica Chastain. With all due respect to Octavia Spencer, she's not as big as Jessica Chastain. Why she thinks she deserves the same amount of money is beyond me. She believes that what's happening is black actors are being paid less money because they're black. Now I'm born and raised here in LA, living Hollywood, and I know a lot of actors. And it's a tough, tough, brutal profession.

1:21:22I would say of the people that come out here to become actors or enter the profession, maybe 1% if that might get to the level of Octavia Spencer, playing in major movies. I believe she won an Academy Award for the help. That is extremely rare. It is an extremely brutal profession. Why? Because there are virtually no barriers to entry. You'd have to go and have gone to a certain amount of school. You'll have to have had a certain amount of training, although training helps obviously. But there are people with zero training, zero background who end up becoming stars. You're competing against all these people. I was watching an interview a few years ago. Morgan Freeman was being interviewed by Charlie Rose of PBS. And Charlie Rose was talking about the party that he got and Morgan Freeman was grateful to have gotten it.

1:22:24And Rose kind of surprised how grateful Morgan Freeman was considering how good an actor he is and how much stuff he'd done. And Morgan Freeman said, Charlie, there are a lot of actors. It's hard to get an agent and then you have to get into the union. And of the actors who belong to the union, the screen actors guild, SAG after, most of those never make enough money to act full time. I've had two nationally syndicated TV shows. One was called Mortal Court, which is excellent. One was called the Larry Odechel, which is okay. And I remember meeting somebody on one of my shows, I figured which one. And then I went downtown, went to Hollywood. And she was one of those, if you go to Hollywood, the man's Chinese theater, you'll see a bunch

1:23:27of people that dress up as Batman Superman would have you. And they take pictures of people and people give them money. She was there. I didn't recognize her. She had makeup on. She said, hi Larry, I work on your show. She said, this is my part time gig. We'll be Goldberg with one time the highest paid actress in Hollywood. She'd done a movie called Sister Act and did a sequel. It was pretty bad sequel. Called Sister Act 2 and she was paid $7 million for that. Which made her the highest paid actor in Hollywood. I believe in history at that time. And in an interview she complained and said, well, she said, well, they don't want to pay that. They'd rather not pay that amount of money. They paid it.

1:24:27You're still going BMW. And if you are a female actor, it is even more brutal. It looks so important whether you're a male or female, but probably even more important if you're a female in this profession. And someone once told me that there are five stages actors go through. Who is Larry Elder? Then it's get me Larry Elder. Then it's get me a Larry Elder type. Then it's get me a young Larry Elder. And finally it's who is Larry Elder. It is that brutal profession. And virtually every actor I know has complained about his or her pay, his or her salary. There's some winners obviously who make a lot of money.

1:25:31But for the most part, even those who ultimately end up working, you hear stories about how little people were paid for their first one that becomes a major sequel. We were just talking yesterday, Mr. McConnell about Christopher Reeve. And how much money he was paid for Superman, the first Superman. A fraction of what Martin Brando was paid, fraction. So it's a brutal profession. I say all that to prepare you to listen to this. Number 70. After the help, you know, you did the help, you had gotten the Oscar. People clearly knew your talent was insane. But I don't know, I guess you were talking with Jessica Chastain. And somehow it came up that you guys were getting paid differently. So Jessica, also Salt of the Earth, came to me with a project that she wanted to do a

1:26:31Christmas project. And she, again, a person who does, she's a doer, she's a producer. And she said, I want us to do it together. I mean, wouldn't it be great? I said, yes. And me being the talker that I am, remember talking, we'll sing ships. I'm about to sing this ship. Right. So I said, yeah, Jessica, yeah, all that's great. The idea sounds great. But you don't have to pay me. Yeah. And she said, of course, I'm going to pay. I said, no, no. People always say, of course. And then they only have, when they go to white actors, they have dollars. And by the time they get to the black actors, they have cents. So I need to know, do you have some dollars? This is so real. And she said, Octavia, yes. And so I gave her the chronology of my pay. Yeah. And she sat quietly on the phone. And she said, oh my god. You and I, no, no, but you know what I'm, I'm just like, I got a damn for the help.

1:27:36I got 13 cents. Well, you know, like literally, literally. I was talking with someone because somebody tried to say something. I don't want to interrupt. But somebody has said something to me. And I literally told them, I said, it's hard sometimes to know what you're missing. Mm-hmm. And if you don't, if you don't know, that's a sister. Yeah. To be like, otherwise it's like, I'm happy in comparison to where my personal growth is. Exactly. So when she looked at that at your pay, but she said, oh, my god. Yeah. When I told her, you in trouble. You in trouble. You in trouble, girl. So, and so my team always, they know when someone comes to me, if it's not a labor of love, my labor of love, my labor of love. I'll do for a dime. I'm not doing your labor of love for a dime. I'm not doing your labor of love for a penny. I'm not doing your labor of love for deferment. You know what I mean? You have to come at me the right way. And this is how you know if they truly value you.

1:28:37And this is for every inquiring mind out there. This is how you know if they truly value you. If they come to you and say, it's a $10 million budget, nobody's making any money. I said, you know what? It's a great script. I understand that. Let's talk back in. Back in. Back in. Back in. And that imaginary money that you haven't made. See, I'm peeping that. You're peeping that you're going to make that money. And then in success, I want my not done. I want my dollar. And if you can't give me, you want me to sign on for pennies in the front, but won't give me any of the imaginary money in the back. We can't be friends, honey. The first person to introduce me to the imaginary money in the back paid me pretty good for my little kid age. I was 11 or 12 years old. Introduce me to the imaginary money.

1:29:38Got major imaginary money was Tyler Perry. You hear me? That was the other reason I worked in casting office because I learned to read those contracts. The imaginary money is where you get rich. Imaginary. That is. So if they're not willing to get, they want you to do a small budget film. And they don't want to cut you in on the imaginary money. Okay. I've got a headache. It's called supply and demand. There are a whole lot of people who want to do what you do and are willing to do it for less money. I recall there was a female executive of a studio and she was criticized for paying people less money than they thought they earned. And she said, I'm running a business here. If I can pay you less to get the work out of you, I'm going to do it. That's why you have agents. If I have people negotiate.

1:30:38There's a rough, tough, brutal profession. And you should have gone in with your eyes wide open. And now you are suggesting the reason you're not getting what you want is because you're black. Most liberal place around in their racist. Now whether you are preparing for exams, juggling family and career or just looking to stay sharp as you age, think factor is here to help.

I got an advanced copy, honestly I cannot put this down, I loved this book. In the story, one seemingly harmless instruction to an advanced AI sets off a chain of events, no one saw coming. It's a fast paced thriller, but what makes it especially compelling is how believable it feels and how easily something like this could become a real world concern.

1:33:46One more story about Hollywood and this actress Octavia Spencer complaining about her lack of pay. Here's a go, there was a very successful sitcom called the Beverly Hill Billies. The star of it was Buddy Epson who played the jet clamp it. And when the show was over, I saw an interview where he was told that a lot of the co-stars weren't getting residuals because their contracts were negotiated and it didn't have it residuals in it but he was getting residuals, meaning every time they showed it somewhere else he got money. And what he said, and I'm quoting, that's their problem. End of quote. He didn't sit in a nasty way but he just said, sorry, I'd go shit at a better deal. That's their problem. What do you how many do? Pass the hat. Now we were talking about Dion Joseph, the law enforcement consultant and how he, even

1:34:51though his father told him he wasn't a victim and thought of himself as a hardworking guy who took responsibility, started hanging out with people that taught him that he really was a victim and racism was really holding people back. Unfortunately, he had a father who pulled him out of that. We talked about Denzel Washington, starring in a movie called Roman Israel about a criminal defense lawyer and on the red carpet, a host assumed he was going to make some sort of what was me comment about the state of America because so many blacks compared to their population percentage are by bars. He said, you're not throwing your little kids in jail. It starts in the home. You don't have somebody to teach them right and wrong, you are in trouble. And that's similar to the advice he gave this young person in one of the equalizer movies. He was a kid he kind of took under his arm, tried to steer him in the right direction and

1:35:54a kid started hanging out with drug dealers and gangbangers. And so Denzel Washington went to where he was and confronted him and listened to this exchange. You know what you're doing? Come on, Kelly. There you go. There you go. There you go. My father's a pressure. That's all it takes. Come on, gangster. Five pounds of pressure, that's all it takes. Come on, gangster. Five pounds of pressure, that's all it takes. Five pounds of pressure, that's all it takes. I hate it. Come on, get to it. You know what I mean? Come on, get to it. I ain't gonna do that. See? You know what they are up there? They liars. They're so in line. You know what you're doing? You know what happens when you deal with a liar? Yeah. You see what I hate? I deal with that. I lie to you. You're a little punk. All right? Now I'm gonna kill you. What do you see when you look at me? Tell me. You better give me a right answer. What do you see when you look at me? Tell me. What do you see? You don't know. Oh no. You don't know. Oh no. Oh no. All right. Man, he's spelled G-U-N, son.

1:36:55You got a choice. You got talent. You got a chance. And I'm gonna hear about you environment. But your mom didn't give you and the white man won't give you no shot. You got a chance. You used to be a man. You don't give you no shot. You got a chance. Use it while you're still alive. You don't know what death is. You have no idea what death is. Make a decision. All right. Are you all Mr. McCall? Why me? Why not you? But why me? Let's find out together. Meanwhile, this is a tenured professor at UC Santa Barbara, named Dr. Butch Ware.

1:38:02He's at a Marxism conference. Listen to this advice. Imagine if this person is your father, number 22. Y'all ain't dream big enough yet. And also, some of these clickity-clack revolutionaries have never been in a f***ing gun fight. But some of us that grew up in the hood know what guns are like. Outcast said it best. Brand new raven about gas. They made them gas. They got s*** that'll blow out our backs. You are ready for a war in the streets. Know you ain't? Y'all ain't nowhere near ready for a war in the streets. You better get ready for both kinds of war. And if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready. What does that even mean? Be ready for war in the streets. And if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready. What does that even mean? Guy is a tenured professor, meaning virtually impossible to be fired,

1:39:06telling people to get ready for war in the streets. Marxism conference. This is kind of nonsense young people are getting in their heads. War and get ready for war in the streets. And this is kind of platform Dennis Miller was talking about. Stephen Miller was talking about. Number 26. That's exactly what is on the ballot, Sean, as the president outlined in his address at the convention yesterday and the day before. The Democrat Party has embraced the platform of individuals who fundamentally hate America and hate Americans. You and I have talked about this before. Of Duolos Sayed in Michigan, campaigned with, sought the endorsement of and promoted along with Bernie Sanders,

1:40:08a man named Hassan Piker, who is the new consultant and strategist for the Democrat Party. He is the man they are leaning on to choose their policies to get support for their candidates. Hassan Piker said that America and Americans deserve 9-11. Sean, you and I have seen and we can never erase the memory, the videos of Americans leaping to their desk and to their desk from the towers to escape certain death by fire, flame and smoke. We have heard the stories of people making their final phone calls from the twin towers from those airplanes. A political party that gets into bed with, that finds common cause with, the joins and concert with, a man who says they had it coming and they deserved it. It is a party that in a country of conscience should get zero votes.

1:41:12We come back when I talk about a group in Hollywood that does have a legitimate reason to complain. And it's not because of race. The first 8-9-7-1 S-A-G-E. Got the catch in my line. The first 8-9-7-1 S-A-G-E triplet 9-7-1 7-2-4-3. I am Larry Elder. We are Salem News Channel. Now, let's talk about a group in Hollywood that really has a reason to complain. It's conservatives. This is actor Patricia Heaton talking about an organization that was formed so that conservatives who were in the industry could hang out with other conservatives. A secretive society. Because I've told you the stories of actors when they're determined to be conservative or even people who aren't even acting.

1:42:16All of a sudden they don't have work. I repeat the story I told you about the caterer who came up to my front porch when they were filming next door. And he was a fan. And people could not hear what we were saying because it was too far away from where the filming was taking place. Six months later he calls my show and says, Larry, you remember me? I'm the guy that came up to your house when they were filming this movie with a net binning and Antonio Bendera. I say, I remember. He thought I haven't worked since that day. I said, what? He said people knew that I liked you. They couldn't hear what we were saying. But just the fact that I was associated with you and that I liked you, I haven't worked since then. And I have many other stories just like that. This is Patricia Heaton, number 80. There was, though, in Hollywood at that time, especially when Obama was president, it was kind of like Democrats ruled.

1:43:18And there were a lot of people that felt like they couldn't say anything who were conservative. And we ended up having to make a secret group. Anybody tell you about this? Has anybody talked about it? Called FOA, Friends of Abe as in Abraham Lincoln. And so you might have talked about that on this show before. No, I think you and I did it a couple weeks ago. Right. So, you know, if you're in alcoholics anonymous and you want to find out if somebody else is in it, you say, are you a friend of Bill? Because Bill Wilson started, right? So a friend of an FOB, a friend of Bill is in alcoholics anonymous. If you were gay in the 40s in Hollywood, they would say, oh, is he a friend of Dorothy? So it was sort of us. So ours was Abraham Lincoln, who was our first Republican president. So we were friends of Abe. Hello. So you could say to somebody, are you a friend of Abe or are you FOA? And if they said, yeah, then you knew there was another conservative or independent,

1:44:22or someone who is not a Democrat, that you could talk to without feeling like you were going to get in trouble at your job. Now, you remember that audio message I played for you, a friend of mine, who's black in Indian industry? And I asked him permission if I could play it. He talked about how the left was pushing this racism nonsense. That's how I met him. I met him at a friend of Abe meeting. A lot of people want to weigh in. We've talked about a lot of different things. Joe is in him at. Joe, you're in the Larry O' to show. Thank you so much for calling. I appreciate it. Hi, Larry. Thanks. Just, you know, your young lady, first of all, I answered the phone. It was absolutely terrific, personable. Thank you so much. You know, I'm an old guy. I'll be 74 real quick. We're missing the point and all this talk and meetings. I'm in the store. I made your grocery store.

1:45:22Growing man, a little younger than me, drops a cheese on the floor. Steps on the bag. Looks at me. And I'm very outspoken. If there's no women around, I lay into everybody. And I call them not, not nice words. And I will pick it up. But I said to him, really, he gets another bag of cheese. I said, you're going to walk away from that. And he looks at me. And then I lay it to my sister's go away. I'll pick it up. Then, and why I'm telling this, I look at the very basement issues. Three young ladies with their mom in their teens. They're looking to go down the tortilla's aisles. I was looking for these little street taco tortillas. And they drop the bag of tortillas on the floor, Larry. And they all look at it. The one girl steps on it. And they all laugh and walk away. And then the third instant is in another store. And I called the manager. The kids are putting candy bars in the wrapper in their mouth. And putting them back on the shelf. I called the manager, Larry. I said, this is disgusting.

1:46:23It's against what if they have some, this is terribly going to do something. Oh, they're kids. I took the candy bars, stepped on the oven, crushed them. I'm calling the police. I said, good. I'll call the board of health. I said, are you kidding me? My point is, we're not sticking together doing anything about the basics. And as a young man, if I touch something in the store like a shit, what your young lady did, it was so nice. My dad would look at me. And you went in the store next time. Touched it. No, because you went, wow, I needed a pillow to sit down for a week. We're missing the point. Then that's right, it starts at home. You're right, saying here with my, if I did something like that, I wouldn't be worried about the police. I'd be worried about my father. Thanks so much for the call, I appreciate it. Now, your car can be a spy. Here's a true story proving it. A guy's car insurance jumped over 20%. No accidents, no tickets. So he started digging to find out who reported him. It was his own car. Every hard break, every fast merge, every late night taco run. His automaker logged it all, sold it to a data broker,

1:47:25and the broker sold it to his insurance company. He requested the file, hundreds of pages. General Motors just paid $12.75 million to settle with state attorneys general over the same exact thing. The lesson, data brokers aren't only selling your address anymore. They're selling your habits to anyone. That's why I use Incogni. It's the online service that forces data brokers and people's search sites to delete your information.

We are a Salem news channel.

1:48:25We get back to the phones in just a second. We're talking about victim credibility, teaching people that they are victims. Dion Joseph is a law enforcement consultant. He says his father taught him that he could be anything he wanted to be. And that's how he felt for a long time until he hung out with people who taught him that he was a victim. He started making bad grades. His father came in and said, what are you doing? He started talking about how oppressed black people are. His father sat him down and went over his life. And it sounds like the same life my father had. Real oppression, real discrimination, real dehumanizing things people said and did to you. And it snapped him back into accepting responsibility and realizing that he had control and he had choices. That brings me to this movie called Minus 2 Society,

1:49:28in which a high school teacher is giving kids these two black kids the high school teachers black advice. And advice is in air quotes because it's hideous what he's telling these kids. Listen to this. Why do you think that's so funny? Because it is. You know I can see it now. You can go up there and mess around and bring back one of your devils to my house. Wait, you know I'm not bringing my devil to the house. I see you checking out your white girls. Now you know how I feel about my black women. Now why are you going to throw that on me? All they take you outside and knock you out right now. Oh hey hey hey boy. I brought you in. I'll take you out. What's up, Kane? Took you long enough my brother. Can you wear it? Hey, KD. So what's up, young buck? Man, I'm alright. Hey, how's work?

1:50:28Have a seat. It's not there. So what's your talking about? Not much just a chat. Yeah, we talk about this Kansas trip. Kansas? So what about Kansas? So what are you going to do, KD? You're going to f*** around, out there in the streets. Do you get killed? Yeah, that's not the clip I want and we'll come back to that. Dave is in Pittsburgh. Dave in the Larry O'Leary Show. Is this my Dave? Hi Larry. Dave, how are you? Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. First time call or long time listener. Appreciate it. You were talking in the other segment about the accountability of these kids in school and how they disrupt the class. Do you recall a thing back with Obama was president called the knockout game?

1:51:30I sure do and the LA Times when I talked about it and wrote about it said it was a myth. It didn't really happen. Even though you see video after video after video of young black men walking up to people they don't know smack him in the head and knocking him out. And it happened over and over again. I remember one time. It was a state fair or a county fair that there was a group and now they called themselves YNs and they would just go and they would pick out one or two victims and they would knock them out. Right. And the cops come in a few minutes later and naturally these guys are gone. Boom. Now we're talking like eight graders, ninth graders that were doing this. Right. But the families were affected because grandpa is in the hospital with a concussion blah blah blah. Where were the parents where were they?

1:52:30I mean where were the parents and you have to feel for the teachers. Where are the parents at the schools where these kids, you know you might get one, two kids in a class and we disrupt the whole class. The whole class might be 30 kids in a class. of them were sitting there saying, uh, you know, watching this. Right. There's no accountability. All it takes is one or two disruptors to mess up the whole environment. I mentioned the LA Times. It was a woman in forget her name. Uh, and, uh, she called it a myth, the knockout gang. That is, fan by people on talk radio, specifically referring to me. She didn't mention my name, but I know she's talking about me. This is the same newspaper whose headquarters, by the way, is in Long Beach. They used to be downtown LA. Now they're in Long Beach. And one Hollywood night a few years ago, there were, I think it was three young white girls going to one of these haunted mansions, haunted houses.

1:53:31And a group of young black boys and girls just jumped on them and started beating the crap out of them. One of them even had a skateboard and began hitting one of them with a skateboard. I would say about 30 of them jumping on these three young women. And a black good Samaritan was driving by, got out of his car and bravely waited through all these people to stop them from doing what they were doing. Okay, this took place literally minutes away from the LA Times Long Beach Headquarter. The Long Beach press telegram, the local newspaper, wrote about this and wrote about this extensively right away. The LA Times did not write one word about it for an entire week. I kid you not. NPR did something on it a month later.

1:54:34And the angle was whether if you were black, you could be accused of a hate crime. If you're black, are you not immune from being a victim, being charged with committing a hate crime? Because after all, the history of discrimination blah, blah, blah, blah. Are you serious? You're a news organization. It happened right in your neighborhood. You don't write one word about it for a whole week. Why? Because the suspects were black. Didn't want to write about it. Didn't want to get anybody upset. NPR's angle was not how horrible this is. Would have vicious and by the way, they were yelling racial epithets whether they were beating these white girls. If she was not, whether or not this is a hate crime, the issue was whether black people could be accused of a hate crime because after all, they're black. Are you sick?

August Mark eight consecutive months of domestic manufacturing growth. Business activity has surged to a 52-month high. And as companies allocate trillions to building and expanding across the US, the Atlanta Fed now projects third quarter GDP growth to surpass 4%. A new industrial super cycle is 4%.
