The Larry Elder Show

China’s yuan replaces the dollar as the most-traded currency in Russia as the Kremlin urges conversion from “toxic” to “friendly” currencies—how concerned should we be?

Joining Larry Elder to discuss the issue is editor-in-chief at Forbes Media, Steve Forbes. He evaluates the state of the dollar and explains why it remains the King of the World—despite its flaws. He also talks about the need for political and military reform, as well as the negative effects of green policies and excessive regulation. Forbes addresses the issue of homelessness and housing costs in California, attributing them to excessive regulation while advocating for compassionate, yet proactive solutions. He also warns against the dangers of rent-control policies, which can ultimately destroy cities.

Did you know that each year, hammers are used to kill more people than “assault weapons”? The Washington Examiner’s Christopher Tremoglie joins Larry Elder to discuss his piece “Hammers are used to kill more people than ‘assault weapons’ each year.”

Former Senator Rick Santorum has a new book for young readers about Pope John Paul II. He writes: “Though the totalitarian regimes he opposed were strong, John Paul II told his followers ‘Be Not Afraid.’ When Polish protesters were arrested by the Soviet regime, people around the world put a candle in their windows to show their support. John Paul II did the same.”

Joining Larry Elder, Santorum talks about the current state of American politics, describing the country as descending to become a “Banana Republic” where the left uses any means necessary to gain power and crush the right. He argues that the media is complicit in this effort, discrediting anything that comes from conservatives while covering for the left. He also discusses the importance of standing up against evil and advocating for family policy.

Former President Donald Trump’s indictment in New York City is a “sad day for American justice” and should be dismissed on legal grounds, according to legal analyst, Paul Kamenar.

Kamenar is the lead counsel for the National Legal and Policy Center. He joins Larry Elder to discuss the Trump indictment.

The charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg are based on a “thin” case that seeks to single out Trump, Kamenar says, adding that the charges appear to be politically motivated. The indictment, which alleges that Trump’s company and its CFO committed multiple counts of fraud, is likely to interfere with the 2024 presidential campaign. Kamenar also criticizes Bragg for “weaponizing” law enforcement to target political enemies, and suggested that the charges should be dismissed on legal and selective prosecution grounds.

China’s yuan replaces the U.S. dollar as the most-traded currency in Russia. What does this mean for America?

Joining Larry Elder to discuss the issue is Kevin Freeman, founder and CEO of Freeman Global Holdings and a New York Times bestselling author.

Freeman argues that the development is a threat to the United States, and that the Biden administration is contributing to the problem through excessive spending.

“I do not want to see the dollar fail, but I’m afraid we’re watching other countries that are working hard to make that happen,” he said, “and then you look to Washington, and it looks like the current administration is working to make that happen as well.”

Freeman suggests that to shore up confidence in the dollar, the U.S. needs to become energy independent, reduce regulation and excess spending, and move services back to the United States. He also expresses concerns about China’s accounting practices and economic interests.

A Manhattan grand jury has indicted former president Donald Trump. 

Unsealed on Tuesday, the indictment charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree under New York Penal Law §175.10. Trump pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.

Joining Larry Elder to discuss the indictment is the president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and author of “Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last,” David Horowitz.  

In Horowitz’s opinion, the indictment is a weak case based on linking Trump to a felony through a reimbursement made to his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen. Horowitz argues that Trump’s actions were more likely aimed at protecting his family than at interfering with an election campaign.

“The greatest, most egregious election interference in the history of the country is what [Manhattan DA] Alvin Bragg is doing now. He’s totally derailed, on both sides of the aisle, the election campaign,” Horowitz said.

Horowitz also suggests that illegal immigration, the crisis on the southern border, and the alleged lawlessness of the Democratic Party are part of its agenda to establish a one-party state.

Hollywood is providing a great example right now of how the wealthy react to draconian tax laws. Celebrities such as Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez, James Corden, Britney Spears, and Kylie Jenner have put their properties on the market in recent months. 

This is because a new “mansion tax” took effect in Los Angeles on Saturday that imposes a 4 percent tax on home sales valued at between $5 million and $10 million, and a 5.5 percent tax on sales over $10 million.

During the summer of 2022, protests erupted in the Netherlands over the government’s plan to reduce nitrogen emissions from the country’s farms by up to 95 percent. The Dutch government expects that many farms will have to close to achieve this goal. 

What’s the rationale for such a plan from the government? Is it only happening in the Netherlands, or other parts of the world as well? 

Last September, The Epoch Times’ Roman Balmakov visited the Netherlands and spoke with a variety of farmers on the ground for upcoming documentary “Eat the Bugs.” They described the challenges their sector faces from the national government and the EU, as those and other powerful factions seek to change how the world produces and consumes food.

Joining Larry Elder, Balmakov shares his knowledge and insights gained from filming the documentary. He thinks that the plan is driven by a belief that the world is ending due to manmade climate change, and the agricultural sector is being targeted to combat this threat. Farmers are being pushed out, and bugs are being promoted as an alternative source of protein. 

He says there’s no one person to blame, but rather a tapestry of policies and agencies that are having the effect of pushing farmers out.

Balmakov also traveled around the world to interview farmers, agricultural departments, and governments and has found that the situation is complex in every country. Farmers fight back through legal channels, protests, and embargoes, but they are a tiny segment of the population and find it difficult to make their voices heard. 

“And if you’re into it, you can eat bugs. The problem is that they’re forcing it on us,” says Balmakov, who has tried bugs himself. “What we’re exposing is the ideology that is being forced on people, not necessarily the bugs as a food item itself.”

Some refer to it as the “Irish slaves myth,” which claims that there weren’t any Irish slaves, but “indentured servants.”  However, according to UCLA history professor Roger McGrath, the Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. In most cases during the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.

Joining Larry Elder, professor McGrath uncovers the hidden history of Irish slavery, and answers questions such as “can the American treatment of Irish immigrants be compared to America’s treatment of blacks during slavery and during the Jim Crow era?”

Silicon Valley Bank’s recent failure marked the second-largest in U.S. history and the largest since the 2008 financial crisis. The run on the bank sent shockwaves through the financial world. Nearly 94 percent of its total deposits were uninsured as of year-end 2022, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data. President Biden said that those depositors would not lose a single penny. However, will the bailout of Silicon Valley Bank create a moral hazard that threatens to bring down our entire banking system?

Joining Larry Elder to discuss this is Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of Job Creators Network. The conversation explores whether the bailout was necessary, the concerns of moral hazard, and how it could affect small businesses and regional banks. The discussion also touches on the inflation caused by the government’s reckless spending and its impact on the banking system.

Is the COVID vaccine linked to sudden deaths in young people? A Wall Street expert challenges mainstream narratives with his unique ability to analyze data and recognize patterns before everyone else. Edward Dowd is a founding partner with Phinance Technologies who has spent most of his career on Wall Street. Recently, he published a new book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022.” He joins Larry Elder to discuss how he used insurance company and funeral home results, along with government databases, to expose the “conspiracy of interests.” Why is socialism so popular among young people today? A think tank called the Fraser Institute wrote earlier this year: “According to a 2017 poll, a majority of American millennials preferred to live in a ‘socialist, communist, or fascist nation than in a capitalist one.'” Joining Larry Elder to discuss this is Dr. Tom Copeland, director of research at Centennial Institute and professor of politics at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Shahrazad Ali is an author and lecturer who has written several books, including “The Blackman’s Guide to Understanding the Blackwoman.” She is the mother of 12 children, and what she said 30 years ago is even more relevant today. “We have been told that the only benefit that a black man provides in a home is money. And if he does not give us money to take care of those kinds of financial provisions, then he has no value. And what my research has proven to me is that a black man, or any man in any home, provides much more than financial support. A man provides guidance, instruction, discipline for the children, which we sorely need in our black homes.” The Larry Elder Show is sponsored by Birch Gold Group.

This looks like a Babylon Bee headline: ‘Los Angeles Metro hires Peace Ambassadors to Tackle Soaring Violent Crime’, but it’s not.  According to local news report: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority celebrated the official launch of its Metro Ambassador Pilot Program on Monday, March 6th, deploying nearly 300 ambassadors throughout the Metro bus and rail system. 

Joining Larry Elder to discuss this is Soledad Ursúa, a board member of the Venice, California Neighborhood Council.

Three children and three adult staff members at a private elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, were fatally shot on March 27 after a 28-year-old former student at the school opened fire inside the building. 

This latest mass shooting renewed the gun control debate yet again.

Joining Larry Elder to discuss this is John Lott, president of the crime prevention research center. He argues that assault weapons bans and other gun control measures do not prevent mass shootings. He points out that California, which has strict gun laws, has a high rate of mass shootings. He also notes that those who plan mass shootings do not obey gun laws and target places where guns are not allowed, so gun-free zones can become easy targets, like this private elementary school in Nashiville.

Have you heard of the latest hate crime hoax at Kit Carson International Academy in Sacramento, California? While Jussie Smollett’s hoax gained widespread attention, similar incidents occur frequently and are not reported by Democrats or the liberal media, as noted by Washington Examiner opinion writer Christopher Tremoglie.

Are electric vehicles truly better than gasoline-powered vehicles? Can you drive an electric vehicle from coast to coast? 

Joining Elder to shed light on these questions is Craig Bannister, the editor of the CNSNews.com blog.

What does race have to do with medicine? The American College of Surgeons apparently believes its members are racially biased and provide worse care to patients of color than we do to white patients, leading to disparate health outcomes. 

Dr. Richard Bosshardt, a plastic surgeon and longtime member of the American College of Surgeons, was recently banned from the college’s online forums after he continued to raise concerns about the pervasiveness of critical race theory (CRT).

He joins Elder to dig into the motives behind CRT.

Raised in a far-left activist household, 21-year-old Amala Ekpunobi was once a student organizer for the left. Unanswered questions—and a search for the truth—led her to a complete ideological transformation. 

Passionately sharing her new conservative values online, Amala became a viral social media sensation. Now the host of PragerU’s show “Unapologetic with Amala,” she inspires millions of young people every day to discover the truth, defend their values, and lead better lives.

Joining Larry Elder, Ekpunobi shares her journey of transformation from a far-left activist to a free-thinking conservative, as well as the secret to gaining a million followers on YouTube.

California has the most stringent gun laws in the nation, yet it still experiences a high number of mass shootings per capita. Additionally, despite California Democrats’ push for gun control laws, such legislation has already failed. Why? According to John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, this is partly due to the fact that California bases its policies on false statistics.

He also claims that the FBI has been under-reporting the number of instances in which civilians use guns for self-defense, including cases of stopping mass shootings or minimizing casualties.

Did you know that March 14 is the anniversary of one of the largest single mass lynchings in American history? Washington Examiner commentary writer Christopher Tremoglie joins Larry Elder to discuss the American history that has been hidden from the public.

The city of San Francisco is considering giving $5 million to each black descendant of slaves who lives in the city. They also want to allow blacks to purchase a home for one dollar, even though the average price of a home in the city is over $1 million. Additionally, they want to provide $97,000 in income support to black descendants of slaves for the next 250 years. And that’s just San Francisco. A California task force signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom is recommending at least a quarter of $1 million for every black person who lives in California, a state which, by the way, was not even a slave state.

However, not every black person is celebrating this $5 million extra income. Ward Connerly, former University of California regent, and founder and chairman of the American Civil Rights Institute, expresses his concern over the reparations movement.

“If you want to unite Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, and liberals against black people, this will do it. This makes people like me the target for everybody,” Connerly says, joining Larry Elder. “They’re trying to seduce us into thinking that there’s going to be this big paycheck. It’s not going to happen. It’s teasing black people.”

What caused the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank? One narrative suggests it was due to inflation and rising interest rates, while another narrative is that the bank got woke so it went broke. Is there another explanation? And how worried should we be, given that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen just warned more bank bailouts could be coming?

Watch Larry Elder interview “Finance Guru,” author of “Positive Financial Karma” Dan Geltrude, to get answers to these questions.
