The Obama Presidential Center, which opened on June 18, 2021, was built on land that was originally inhabited by the Anishinaabe, Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations, making it a site of stolen tribal land. This revelation was acknowledged by Valerie Jarrett during the center's opening ceremony, where she honored the original inhabitants of the land. The center, designed by Obama himself, has faced criticism for its design, which some describe as resembling a milk carton, and for not being a formal presidential library since it does not house presidential archives or artifacts. Additionally, the center has been criticized for unpaid contractors, particularly minority-run businesses, and for requiring government-issued ID for entry, which has been contrasted with Democratic opposition to voter ID requirements.

You know I like to bark the sage. So, I am in for the sage sage sage sage sage today. And it is Friday and I am happy to have you with us. It is going to be open line Friday today because guys, I think we need to celebrate the weekend. Happy Father's Day weekend to all of you dads out there including my incredible dad who happens to be the voice of the Larry Elder Show.
How cool is that? So, happy Father's Day to you dad and to all of the dads out there. 888-971-SAGE.
That is the number to call in and open line Friday means everything is fair game. You want to talk about this Iran deal? You want to talk about Karen Bass's assertion that people can't be successful without teeth? You want to talk about Dr. Fauci? We have got open lines for you today at 888-971-SAGE.
And let's start with the news, because there is a precarious deal or memorandum of understanding with Iran. The good news, and we'll start there, is that shipping traffic is reportedly beginning to move now through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran promised to reopen without tolls or ransom as part of the ceasefire deal that was struck with the United States.
Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority, an agency it created during the war to control traffic through the strait, published a new set of procedures for safe passage on Friday. And the good news is that these ships are now moving through this area. The first large merchant ships were seen heading into empty, what was once empty traffic lanes of the strait within hours of this memorandum of understanding receiving signatures from President Trump and the Iranian president on Thursday. Ship tracking firm Kepler said that three very large crude carriers, that's just rude to call them crude, oh, wait, maybe they're carrying crude.
From Saudi Arabia, loaded with 6 million barrels of oil were among the first ships to pass through the strait after the MOU was signed. One ship bound for Japan, the second for South Korea, and the third sailed to an unknown location.
A lot of the Asian company countries, a lot of the European nations relying on oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz for for their own economic issues. They need this. So, the flood floodgates haven't opened yet, but that is the direction in which they're going. That's the good news.
The not-so-good news is that overnight Hezbollah and Israel continued to fight.
In fact, Israel losing four of their soldiers. And in all fairness, they had every right to respond to Hezbollah. Certainly, the United States would if we lost four of our service members, and respond they did. So, Israel and Hezbollah exchanging attacks overnight, which seemed to put a hold on the scheduled meeting that was supposed to happen in Switzerland today with the Iranian delegation and with Vice President J.D. Vance. So, that is on hold. Although, we are hearing that a ceasefire between Lebanon and well, Hezbollah and Israel back in place today. President Trump did an interview with Axios, where he went through a lot of topics, including the power that the United States has in Iran, which make no mistakes, despite the mainstream media and what they'd like to tell you, the Americans, we are in the driver's seat in this area. President Trump said that there's no limits to his power in the interview he did with Axios yesterday, cut nine.
>> What have you learned about not just the exercise of power, but the limits on your power as a result of the conflict?
>> There are no limits.
>> No limits?
>> No, not I haven't learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but you know, there are no limits. We defeated them totally militarily.
Uh I was asked by Pakistan, because they're close, to please not do any more. I said, "I like them a lot. I think that uh there are no limits. We have the most powerful military in the world, by far.
Who else could have done a blockade like that? I did a naval blockade, where not one ship was able to get through. Some tried, they didn't, you know, didn't last very long.
>> Do And it certainly brought Iran to the table more than before. However, beginning of the conflict, you had talked about you only wanted unconditional surrender.
>> And well, >> the MOU doesn't look like unconditional surrender.
>> Well, it really probably is unconditional surrender. Yes? I think so. Look, they have no military.
They're all at the bottom of the sea.
159 ships, that's what they had.
>> Sure, but they could still menace. They only had these small with gosh deep boats or go fast >> Look, you call it what you want. You know, I hear the the uh JCPOA, the the Obama nuclear catastrophe, which was so bad.
When Obama left, he didn't hit their military.
>> Sure.
>> He didn't damage their navy or or destroy their air force. I destroyed the air force.
I destroyed their anti-aircraft weapons.
That's why we were flying over there totally unimpeded. We turned off all the stuff. They couldn't do a damn thing.
He didn't do any of that stuff. He didn't kill their leadership. I did, twice.
Two and a half times to be exact.
>> 888-971-Sage, if you want to chime in on the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, again on shaky ground, primarily because of the Iranians. But I really want you to consider what President Trump said right there about how degraded Iran has become. This is really important to understand because if you listen to the mainstream news media, which Larry does, so you don't have to. I do it so you don't have to. Kamala Harris, who happened to be on a stage in Austria, who was asked, "Would you ever start a war with Iran?" And she says, "Oh, never." She's telling you the truth. She would never have the backbone to do this.
And sadly, there has been no backbone demonstrated by the most recent presidents in our history.
Multiple presidents have kicked the can down the road when it came to Iran until we got to the strength of President Trump. Here's why this deal is different. And the mainstream news media doesn't want to talk about that. They want to root, quite frankly, they want to root for Iran. President Trump went in with all the power and all the leverage. Iran today is much different than it was a year ago. The United States, because of technology and our space force program, we have satellites to watch their every move. We also have markers to watch what they are doing economically. We have taken away their air support. We have degraded their military, and we have sunk their navy.
They have nothing left but rocket-propelled grenades and some drones. Now, can they do some crazy stuff with those things? Yes. Are they going to try to better They're going to try to rebuild their military?
Oh, you better believe it.
But, it doesn't matter so much what is in the memorandum of understanding, which is really just terms of a deal that hasn't even been put together yet.
Everybody's pulling their hair out and and crying fire because of it. These are just points to go into negotiation, which that period, that 60-day period has started right now. But, let me make your mind at ease.
President Trump is in charge. President Trump needs to have a win during the midterms to keep his power fully intact with Republicans in Congress. He needed to win this election in the midterms. He needs Republicans to hold onto the house. Sadly, that is tied to people's gas prices. The only thing that matters when it comes to a deal with Iran is enforcement and oversight.
You're never going to be able to trust a deal with Iran. It's never going to happen.
And President Trump knows this. He's got people around him like John Ratcliffe and Marco Rubio and Pete Hoekstra, our old friend Sebastian Gorka, who are around the president saying, "Look, you cannot trust a deal with Iran when they're ruled by the ideology to destroy the West."
But, we can watch everything. Guys, we can watch it all, and we can make sure that we enforce that they will never be able to rebuild their military in a meaningful way, and we can make sure that they certainly can't get their hands on uranium that they start to enrich.
That is why America is safer today.
Don't get caught up in the details of a deal that hasn't even happened yet.
Let's see what happens during the 60-day negotiation. We keep our eyes on Iran.
We win the midterms, and we have President Trump whom we trust at the helm to make sure that Iran does not get out of hand. Now, we do have an update for you as well today on some of the six Americans who are being held in Iran. We will play a little bit of this for you.
Cut 12.
>> US prepares meanwhile for a new round of talks with Iran. The fate of six Americans still held by the regime is right now hanging in the balance. Chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has the update live from Washington for us. Hello, Jennifer.
>> Hi, Sandra. Well, another key issue as you mentioned that remains unresolved with Tehran, whether the White House will press for the release of six Americans still wrongfully detained by the Iranian government. At least two of those Americans remain in the notorious Evan prison. Kamran Heckmati, a 61-year-old Jewish Iranian-American grandfather from Long Island. Heckmati was visiting family in Iran last spring when he was arrested over a trip to Israel 13 years ago for his >> Let's stop it right there. We'll bring you more on these Americans who are being detained in Iran here in moments, but understand this. And this is through conversations I have had with administration officials at the highest level. The one of the most important initiatives of the Trump administration, and you've seen it so far, is to bring every American home that is being detained or held hostage. That is one of the top priorities, and we will cover more of that here in moments. It's open line Friday, guys. Join us.

Don't forget you can always check him out at larryelder.com and always on social media at Larry Elder. You can find me there, too, Jennifer Horn Radio on Instagram and Facebook and Jennifer Horn on Truth and on X. Now, it is open line Friday and you are welcome to call in. 888-971-SAGE is the number. You can comment on Iran, really whatever's on your mind. Before we get back into what's going on right now in the Middle East, I do have to say a big congratulations to the United States men's national team. I have never been a soccer girl. I grew up in Los Angeles. There was an indoor soccer team called the LA Lazers when I was a little girl that I used to absolutely love, mostly because Ricky Schroeder used to go to those games.
>> [laughter] >> And you know, he was a big deal for those of us in in the late '80s. So, that was fun, but I have really not paid attention to soccer in a really long time and with the World Cup here and America's 250th birthday, it's been fun to pay attention to these games for the first time. And I'm going to tell you that the US team just killed it today.
The They had victory over Australia in Seattle this afternoon winning two to nothing. It's a second win in two games as the United States team is making its way towards the World Cup. It's the first time since the World Cup in 1930, by the way, that was the first one, that the United States has won back-to-back World Cup games. So, I like that. Go team USA. Maybe we can have a big win. I think I I heard the rumor that if if the winning continues, that it is possible that on the 4th of July the US team will face the British.
Rematch. Isn't that going to be fun? Go team USA. All right, 888-971-SAGE.
Just to bring you up to speed again, the ceasefire is back in place. Israel and Hezbollah agreed to renew a ceasefire after fighting in Lebanon jeopardized US-Iran negotiations. We're in that 60-day period now based on this memorandum of understanding. Officials from Hezbollah and Israel said that they'll abide by the truce, but warned against violations from the other.
Lebanese officials said that Friday marked the second worst day, the second deadliest day of Israeli strikes during the conflict. President Trump on Friday, even though there has been some tension between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, President Trump actually had some warm words for Bibi Netanyahu. And of course, the Israelis losing four soldiers in this last round of conflict or war with Hezbollah.
The first round of negotiations between Washington, between the US and Tehran was delayed as Iran looked for guarantees that hostilities in Lebanon would end.
Tehran said that it's working with mediators on reorganizing the talks. And of course, the clock is ticking now, this 60-day period underway. What I do think is interesting about this memorandum of understanding is that there are obviously the attempt is to tie the United States to Israel.
Which is fine. They're our allies.
But it doesn't explicitly talk about the proxies for terror from Iran. Everybody knows that Iran is leading state sponsor of terror. So, it should be explicit that if Hezbollah is firing off missiles at Israel, that puts this agreement in jeopardy as well.
And the threat has to be a military one from the United States. It can't just be tossing the deal aside. It has to come with strength. It's the only thing the Iranians understand, or at least this Iranian leadership. 889-71 Sage, let's say hello to Willie in Lancaster on line one. Hello Willie, happy Friday.
>> Hello Willie, happy Friday.
Jen, you are younger and hipper than I expected. I expected a I saw your picture, I expected an older Republican woman with a quiff hair, but you look great, my dear.
>> Can I tell you something, Willie? If you If you Google Jennifer Horn, there is actually another Jennifer Horn out there. And what's funny is that she also did radio in New Hampshire. She's and I'll use air quotes here if you're watching on the Salem News Channel, a so-called Republican, but she is one of the founders of the Lincoln Project.
That is not me. I am much cooler, I have better hair, and better taste in politicians. How about that?
>> Beautiful. The MOU is a good deal for the following reason.
>> Tell me.
>> Trump moved He moved them around 20 yards away from the starting line. They were on the 10-yard line of Obama. By bombing their nuclear program into virtual non-existence and costing them a trillion dollars, they've been moved way far. They're starting not even in the ballpark of where they wanted to be, and that's why and the fact that he has enforcement ready, we're in a great position now.
>> You know, Willie, I'm so glad that you said that because sometimes I feel alone in my bubble here. I Look, I'm an optimist. I'm a Trump supporter. I'm also a supporter of Israel. So, you look at this deal and I can understand why some people like Senator Ted Cruz might be worried about this, but there are really two options. You're either going to have to go full-blown military, sending in ground troops into Iran for a regime change, or you're going to have to try to figure out how to work with them, but keep an eye on their ability to produce these weapons. And you're right, this is different than any deal that Obama engaged in, that Biden would even look at. I mean, no president wanted to touch the problem of Iran.
They kicked the can down the road until President Trump said, "No, this is a danger to the US to have these maniacs with their hands on ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons." It We are in such a much better place today, no matter what the naysayers say, than at any time in recent history, Willie. I just I appreciate your phone call and I think you're absolutely right. I'm glad we're on the same page with that.
Thank you for the call. 888-971-Sage.
Let's say hello to Gary in Los Angeles on line two. Hello, Gary.
>> Hi, how are you?
>> Good, thanks.
>> Look, I I I I may be the only person that feels this way, but I feel like we should have finished the job, that we should have sent troops in, taken the uranium, okay? It's not about regime change. Take the uranium. Then Donald Trump could look at everybody and say, "I promised that we they would never have a nuclear weapon. They're not going to have it because they have no uranium and be done with it." We had 14,000 Marines over there. We had bombed the hell out of them. Now is the time to finish the job.
>> Look, I I've actually And by the way, Gary, I had said that a lot before this memorandum came out, that if we're going to do this, we got to finish it. But the hard reality is that there are just people out there who don't want to see a ground war, and I think that includes President Trump. I think he really takes seriously and thank you for the phone call.
Oh, go ahead.
>> A lot of people don't want to see the ground war, but that is cuz what what we're dealing with now, just as just as Zelensky has said he can't trust Putin, we cannot trust the Iranian regime.
>> 1000% Yeah, it's it's why I keep saying the only way to do this is oversight.
>> Yeah, it's the only way to do it is to destroy the Iranians. It's to take it.
That's the only way.
>> you know, you might You do have a point that finishing the job would mean getting in there, getting the uranium out, but then also you kind of have to go in for regime change. You need to to figure that out. That's not going to happen now. We thank you for the phone call, but at least we don't have to send our men and women into danger because people will die.
And say what you will about President Trump, again, a lot of people have a lot to say about his heart, but his heart is with the military. You can look at that every single day. Well, play some audio of you yesterday with the with him awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His heart is with the military and it is hard when you are holding people's lives in your hand sometimes to to make those decisions, but I praise his backbone and the fact is that that option is still on the table and it's still on the table in a very real way and I think Iran knows that. All right, 888-971-STAGE Open Line Friday. I'm Jennifer Horn in for Larry Elder to the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] [music] >> Thanks [music] for joining us. It is uh finally a Friday here on the Larry Elder Show. Juneteenth, by the way. A holiday lots of liberals like to celebrate, but really, you know, Republicans should celebrate this, too, because it was the Republican Party responsible for freeing the slaves. Don't ever let Democrats let you forget that. I'm Jennifer Horn in for the Sage today, Larry Elder. I don't know if he's out in observance of Juneteenth. We can ask him about that next week.
>> [laughter] >> No, I kid. He'll be back with you next week in the studio. In the meantime, you can check out the website larryelder.com and of course @larryelder on social media. He's got quite the prolific social media account filled with some great observations and a few laughs along the way. It is open line Friday, 888-971-SAGE and the US Well, things were a little shaky today.
We were supposed to head to Switzerland for a Well, the beginning of peace talks on this 60-day period to put together a deal with Iran. That hit the skids on Friday after Iran delayed sending its delegation to Switzerland because of the fighting that's been ongoing between Israel and and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Again, Israel every right to respond.
Four soldiers killed by Hezbollah.
That's exactly what they did. And of course, the Iranians use that as an excuse not to show up for talks. But your thoughts on this memorandum of understanding, which is not the deal. I want to remind you there are a lot of bullet points in there that we don't know how this is all going to play out in a deal. I will tell you that a deal with Iran is only worth the paper that it is written on.
The most important piece to anything that the United States does with Israel. I've said it again and again. I'll say it again and again. is enforcement and oversight.
Because look, Iran is driven by an extreme ideology. The leadership of Iran driven by an extreme ideology that wants to kill the Jews, kill Americans, kill the West.
So, they're not going to enter into an agreement as good partners. But we do also have to remember that the Trump administration, the Trump team has significantly degraded them militarily.
And the idea here is not necessarily to wipe this regime off the planet. We might be safer for it, but the idea here has always been to make sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. That's what Israel wants, that's what the United States wants, that's what we have to move forward to. And we also have to win because everything comes back to politics, the midterm election. And if gas prices, and this is how shallow the American people are, if gas prices continue to be expensive, that's going to be an uphill climb for Republicans because sadly most Americans don't see the long haul.
It would be great if we lived in a world where you could send out Marco Rubio, or you could send out President Trump, and you could have them talk frankly to the American people and say, "Look, Iran, this is a bad regime. We would be safer with them not on the planet, but you are going to have to endure some sacrifice to do what's ultimately good."
But most people are looking at $5 gallon gasoline. That's it.
They're not thinking about the good of the world. That's the tough job that President Trump and his team have to navigate around. All right, let's say hello to Ed in Gardena. Hello Ed, you're on the Larry Elder Show.
>> Hi Jennifer, I have to tell you when you were going on vacation, I missed your laugh.
>> Oh, thank you so much, Ed. I appreciate you.
>> I wanted to um say we tried to take arms, um I guess a container full of arms and and get it into Iran, >> Yes. but the Kurds >> took charge of it and confiscated all of it.
So, I think we should support a guerrilla action in Iran.
>> Here's one of the things that I'm disappointed about, Ed, and that is that right now we had the thumb on the economy of Iran, and that was what was controlling them.
That could have forced a regime change a little easier. Sadly, these poor people in Iran, even though they want democracy, they would like new leadership, they I think are scared to death and who can blame them to fight back against their government.
I I mean, tens of thousands of people just mowed down by the Iranian government killing their own people because they dared speak out. Imagine if that happened in this country. Thank God it doesn't. But, I I think there's this great level of fear. I think that was probably the primary hope from the president and his team. It was probably that the people had the appetite to take back their country, but it just really seems like they don't at this moment.
>> Well, that's what happens when only one side is armed.
>> Yeah, that's true.
>> inevitable.
>> And that's by the way by design, which is why it should scare every single one of you when Democrats continue to come for our arms and continue to come for our guns in this country because guess what? That protects us against the enemy, that protects us against fascists, that protects us from a power grab. And so, you got to fight for that right every single every single day. And thanks so much for the phone call.
Appreciate you. Open Line Friday here on the Larry Elder Show. 888-971-SAGE.
You want to talk about Iran? You want to talk about Well, we're going to talk about the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. Did you know it's not a library?
We'll tell you why that is here in moments. 888-971-SAGE. I'm Jennifer Horn. This is the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] [music] >> Thanks for joining us. Please take those precautions. We only serve up facts here on the Larry Elder Show. I'm Jennifer Horn, happy to be filling in for the Sage today. Thanks for joining us on the Salem News Channel, the Salem Radio Network and on this station. It is Open Line Friday. 888-971-SAGE.
You can chime in on whatever is on your mind. A lot of people wanting to talk about this Iran deal. There is look at Just you have to be honest here. There's a lot of questions on just our side of the aisle. First of all, you got the mainstream news media, you got the crazy leftists who aren't going to be happy with anything that President Trump does.
They're they're rooting for Iran.
But then you have people on our side of the aisle, and I respect every single one of them who are trying to figure out the best way to deal with the regime that has made it clear that they want to kill us.
888-971-SAGE.
Now, a little bit of good news, maybe interesting news. President Trump today, just about 2 hours ago, unveiled a newly refurbished presidential aircraft at Joint Base Andrews. He touted its size.
It's like absolutely beautiful and giant, big, luxurious. An updated red, white, and blue paint scheme.
Air Force One is going to be Well, the current Air Force One, it's going to be retired. Apparently, the trip to the G7 was President Trump's last trip on that current version of Air Force One. He is going to be taking the new version, which is the Boeing 747-8I, donated by the government of Qatar, and modified for presidential use. It's going to serve as the interim Air Force One while Boeing continues to work on two delayed VC-25B replacement aircraft.
But this new Air Force One is going to be in effect on July 4th as President Trump goes to Mount Rushmore to celebrate the holiday. He talked about it, showed it to the news media. Uh cut 16.
>> And this is a brand new hangar because, as you probably have learned, uh these planes are much bigger. The other plane was about 35 years old.
And it was time, and President of the United States, numerous of them, would land and they'd be standing next to one of the new 747s, and uh the biggest difference is the difference size. It's like virtually double the size.
And it actually on a runway it looks even more so. And I said to myself, you know, these countries they have a lot of respect for us, a lot. And yet they have a a plane that's much better and much newer. It's a little ridiculous out there.
And we have our signal and we have our beautiful American flag and we put the wave in it, as you know. We've always gone with the straight little noodle and I never loved that.
Now we have a wavy beautiful flag. We're waving it proudly cuz our country is doing so well.
Our country is doing so well. Those ships are flowing out of the Hormuz Strait like nobody's ever seen before, actually. There were a lot of them, about 700 of them and they're pouring out. The oil is all over the place.
You're going to see oil drop so low. I hope the companies are happy about it.
But we have uh a lot of victories.
>> He doesn't like those noodle flags.
Nobody likes a noodle flag. I am happy that this plane prominently displays the red, white, and blue.
Did we ever figure out why the other planes don't? I I Was there like a problem with the red paint? It seems like the Air Force One that sits at the Reagan Library doesn't have a lot of red on the outside. It's blue and white. This current version of Air Force One blue and white.
Hello, people. This is branding. We need that flag. We need that red, white, and blue all over the plane and it's beautiful. I makes me a little nervous, though. I am not a nervous flyer. I've been flying since I was a baby. I don't get nervous flying, but I don't like really small planes. Makes me a little nervous cuz I saw La Bamba.
You know about Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. We knew about that.
So I don't like the little planes.
Cuz I start to listen for patterns.
>> [laughter] >> Anybody else listen for the pattern? The patterns of the propellers and I'm like, "Uh uh we stopped."
But a giant plane like this also might make me nervous. Double the size of the last Air Force One? How did they get that thing to stay in the air?
Anyway, I'm sure people smarter than I have got it figured out. So, uh congratulations to the United States.
We've got our interim new Air Force One, which is uh going to hit the air in uh July, July 4th for the 4th of July holiday. All right, we're talking about the Iran deal. Mike in Los Angeles, line four. Hey, Mike.
>> Hi, Jennifer. How are you? Nice to see you, nice to talk to you.
>> Thank you. Thanks for the call.
>> Uh appreciate it. I want to talk about the Iran deal, specifically what your caller Gary said. But just real fast, when you said about June 19th, you needed to thank a Republican.
Take a little bit of issue with that.
Yeah, the Republican Party's freeing the slaves. That's like saying, you know, the Nick Cage won an Oscar. Yeah, that's technically true, but a lot has changed since then.
>> [laughter] >> Going back to what Gary said about the Iran deal, how they >> We're still the party that uplifts every American. We don't pick favorites, Mike.
We don't pick favorites in the Republican Party. But your comments on Iran.
>> Uh my comments are on but what the Gary said, how there's 14,000 Marines and it'd be so easy to go in and then just take the uranium. Have we learned nothing from the past 50 years? Have we learned nothing from Iraq? Have we learned nothing from Vietnam? Going to take >> Well, I think we have.
Uh and I think that's part of I think that's exactly what President Trump has got on his plate right now. Yes, military operations are on the table, but that is not something that I think President Trump wants to go down the road of he's he was originally the one who didn't like the endless war that was going on in Iraq, even though Democrats and Republicans supported that.
>> So, if if the Republican Party and America at large knows and assumes that President Trump will not commit ground troops, then what leverage does he really have? Iran has already showed that by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, they could pretty much the world economy.
>> I think that they showed actually and and Mike, I thank you for the phone call cuz we're coming up on a break here, but I think we have actually done more to uh degrade Iran than they're capable of.
Yeah, they they they shut down the Strait of Hormuz, but our naval blockade also crippled them economically. They're hanging on by a thread. That's why they came to the That's why they came to the table. Do you think I Iran on any other circumstance under any other circumstance would even have the conversation?
They've got nothing left. They're suffering.
They're in a bad way and they have no military capabilities. They've all been wiped out. Their navy is on the bottom of the ocean floor.
Their air defense systems knocked out.
So, what thank you for the phone call, but I don't buy that Iran of all places has the leverage in this deal. It's just simply not true. They don't have a military to fight back. That's the threat. If President Trump wants to use the military, whether we would support it or not, we could talk about the the way that he would go in or use If we use the military, they can't by and large fight back.
At least in a major way. 888-971-SAGE.

Open Line Friday. I'm Jennifer Horn.
It's the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] [music] >> Here we are. Thanks for joining us. It is Friday. It is June 19th. Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there. I'm Jennifer Horn. I host the Morning Answer on Salem Radio in Los Angeles and I am happy to be sitting in for the sage today in our Salem News Channel studios right here in the heart, the belly of the crazy beast in Los Angeles. All right, you can give us a call because we are doing open lines today. We're trying to have a little fun for a Friday, but lots of serious stuff going on. 888-971-SAGE.
The good news is that the Strait of Hormuz seems to be open. That was the goal, I believe, of even getting Iran to the table to start putting together these deal points, this memorandum of understanding. Now, let's see. What do you think about it? 888-971-SAGE.
Let's talk to Mike in Fillmore, California, line one. Hey, Mike.
>> Hi, how are you doing, Jennifer?
>> Doing well. Thanks for the call.
>> Yeah, I don't like this deal at all.
I happen to hold the Navy Marine Expeditionary Medal for the Persian Gulf.
>> Well, thank you.
>> back when they had our hostages when this whole Yeah, I was there back when this whole thing started.
>> Mhm.
>> And I know I'm familiar with the regime.
I'm familiar with what's going on in there. I worked CIC, you know, operations intelligence. I worked uh uh when we were the flagship for the commander of the Middle East forces. And I can tell you can't trust these guys.
They will not honor any deal. All they're doing is stringing President Trump along. I've tried to text him at POTUS and tried to tell him that uh that's what they're doing. They're just stringing him along to try to drag him into the uh >> You know, >> the midterms to to hurt the election.
And and bottom line is anytime we've had a conditional surrender, we've had to go back in. When uh Bush had a a conditional surrender with Saddam Hussein, we had to go back in. The only time we haven't had to go back in is when it's been a complete and total unconditional surrender and we've been able to go back and rebuild like with Japan, with Germany. And so I just don't like it. I think we're going to have to go back in again. I think he's wrong on this.
>> I I think we're going to have to go back in, too, but I'm going to tell you this.
Do you think it's possible, Mike, that it's actually President Trump who is stringing Iran along? Because look, as I was talking about earlier this hour, politically, at first I and look, I I admit that this is hypocritical because if this were Joe Biden in office, I would not have the same trust, but I have a huge amount of faith in President Trump. I have a huge amount of faith in the people around him and his advisers. And so I would just offer this to you. Do you think it's possible that President Trump is kind of limping through this memorandum of understanding, which I think many of us believe maybe won't even lead to a real meaningful deal with Iran. I don't know if you can have a meaningful deal with Iran, but it gets you through the midterm elections, so people stop complaining about gas prices and stop complaining about war and vote Republicans back in power so that President Trump can keep this regime in check. Because let me tell you, if Democrats are in charge, it's impeachment palooza, it's investigations, and it will be curtailing his power as president at every turn, including going after the bad guys in Iran. Could it be possible that perhaps this is Trump's way to buy a little extra time? I mean, I think it's something to think about for sure, Mike. Thank you for the Yeah, thank you for the phone call. I would just say Yeah, don't think all is lost here. I really I I I would impart that to you.
Not all is lost. We don't even have a so-called deal yet. I'm Jennifer Horn.
This is the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] >> So, [music] let's get her teeth out.
DO I HAVE TO FIRE OFF A SHOT AND SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND?

It is open line Friday, guys. 888-971-SAGE.
Whatever you want to talk about. It's Friday. We are celebrating. Happy Father's Day. 888-971-SAGE.
President Trump was celebrating today when he announced that the current Air Force One is going to be retired. Perhaps it'll be sitting in the Trump presidential library just like the Reagan library has the last Air Force One.
But the president said that this one's going to look a little different. Let's start with the presidential announcement. Cut 16.
>> And this is a brand new hangar because as you probably have learned uh these planes are much bigger. The other plane was about 35 years old.
And it was time and president of the United States, numerous of them would land and they'd be standing next to one of the new 747s and the biggest difference is the difference in size.
It's like virtually double the size.
And it actually on a runway looks even more so and I said to myself you know, these countries they have a lot of respect for us, a lot. And yet they have a a plane that's much better and much newer. It's a little ridiculous out there.
And we have our signal and we have our beautiful American flag and we put the wave in it as you know. We've always gone with the straight little noodle and I never loved that.
Now we have a wavy beautiful flag. We're waving it proudly cuz our country is doing so well.
Our country is doing so well. Those ships are flowing out of the Hormuz Strait like nobody's ever seen before actually. There were a lot of them, about 700 of them and they're pouring out. The oil is all over the place.
You're going to see oil drop so low. I hope the companies are happy about it.
But we have uh a lot of victories.
>> All right, he had a little fun with the press. We'll get that for you in just a few moments. But the main difference in this version, this new and this is just an interim Air Force One while the two that were ordered from Boeing which were on hold. Remember there was a slowdown, there's a back order, something like that happened. There was a delay in any case and so Cutter said, "Hey, we'll give you a plane to use." So this one is double the size of the current Air Force One with which just is amazing to me.
That is massive. The color scheme is different. This is the red, white, and blue color scheme, dark blue color that President Trump liked. That replaces the one that has been it's on the original Air Force one or excuse me, the Air Force One that is sitting at the Reagan Library, the one that President Trump was flying on that's being retired. That was the light blue and white design that really kind of defined what the presidential aircraft looked like since the Kennedy administration.
Um the Air Force confirmed the updated paint scheme would become the standard across the presidential and executive aircraft and the air fleet including the VC-25B aircraft which is currently under development. So moving forward, red, white, and blue which I think is kind of appropriate. Don't you think? I mean, come on. We've got a brand here in the country. 888-971-SAGE.
You can chime in on anything you want today. Open lines, you can talk about the new Air Force One, you can talk about President Trump's deal with Iran.
Guys, you'll give me the heads up when we have his We do have it? No. Okay, give me the heads up when we have it cuz he did have a little bit of fun with the press at the announcement of the new plane. And California. This is the state that I live in, the state that Larry lives in.
It even sometimes they surprise me.
So get this.
There's a new program out that has been really underway for decades. So since Governor Duke Majon which was back I mean decades ago.
Governor Duke Majon put together a program that would help uplift minority-owned businesses.
That was added to, made more extreme by the former governor of California, Moonbeam is what we called him, Jerry Brown. And of course, Gavin Newsom likes to just say, "Hold my beer. Let's make this crazy." So, there is a new program in place that says that firms with LGBTQ ownership have an advantage in winning contracts from the California Public Utilities Commission.
But, only if they can prove it.
Guys, California is trying to make you certify gayness.
That's right.
The US Attorney General, Harmeet Dhillon, said yesterday that she's opened an inquiry into the commission's programming, encouraging utilities to meet a voluntary goal of 1.5% procurement from state-certified LGBTQ owned businesses, which if met, could get up to $633 million annually. That's how much is at stake here, $633 million of taxpayer money in California. But, you have to certify you're gay. So, let me ask you this question.
Larry Elder listeners, how do you certify that you're gay?
Is it like an embossed, like melted wax stamp on your forehead?
Is it a tattoo? I know that some of you're going to have some off-color jokes cuz it's Friday, you're probably already at happy hour.
But, let me tell you how California is going to certify if you're gay or not. Cut 14.
>> It is pressuring the state's public utilities to provide electricity to millions of homes to award up to $633 million in contracts to LGBT-owned firms. And the state has actually set up an official gay certification program.
You have to submit letters from your doctor, letters from your friends, an award from an LGBT organization to qualify to get these special contracts.
And it's it's not only outrageous.
>> legal?
>> Yeah.
It's it's not only outrageous, it's also illegal. And look, if you're LGBT, you should have the equal rights according to everyone else to compete for these contracts. What's happening is that the government in California is saying that these contracts are only available if you pass their gay certification program, and [laughter] all heterosexual people are denied these opportunities.
>> Has anyone been harmed in because of these contracts? Has anyone Can anyone say that they were denied a contract because they didn't have this certification or wouldn't say that they did?
>> Yeah, I I think that's absolutely right.
This is happening, and fortunately we have Harmeet Dhillon, who's the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. She's already on top of this.
She's sent a letter to California. She's opening an inquiry into this. And look, it has to stop. We can have equality in this country.
>> It all has to stop. Let's stop that right there. So, that's Chris Rufo, who is a journalist who broke the story on California's new program. They've got the Public Utilities Commission getting ready to offer marginalized communities like the LGBTQ community $633 million.
But, you have to be gay certified.
And so, here's the rub.
People, this is where it gets crazy.
He was talking about you need an award from an LGBTQ Foundation. You need to have a doctor's note. But, do you know what the bare minimum is? You have to start the process with proof of citizenship.
Dun dun dun.
And oh, a government-issued ID. Now, isn't that something? Because I heard Chuck Schumer just this week talking about how the Save America Act for voter ID is so oppressive to gay people, to minorities, and to us poor women who can't figure out how to get an ID, I guess. Us, you know, little pigeon-brained women who can't figure out how to go and and get our IDs updated if we get married or or whatever it is.
In California, there's a voter ID initiative that's going to be on the ballot in November, and every Democrat has come out and said that it is racist because people of color cannot figure out how to get an identification. But, the very first thing you're telling me you need for gay certification is an ID and proof of residency, and oh, wait for it, utility bills proving that you actually live in this country.
Does anybody see the irony here?
I I mean, the hypocrisy is just absolutely rich. 888-971-SAGE.
Look, this isn't even for me. We could argue, and by the way, it's open line Friday, so if you want to, we could talk about DEI programs. We could talk about the ridiculousness of California picking and choosing winners and handing out money to certain businesses and certain contractors and not others, and that would be a valuable and substantive conversation.
But, let's just scratch the surface here, shall we, for a Friday?
Democrats are going to certify you gay if you have an ID card, yet I try to get the poor people working at my polling place in California to just check my ID, and it's like I'm a racist, homophobe homophobe, and sexist for asking about this?
This is California. This is Democrat policies. This is crazy is what it is, and we need to spread this story all over the place that they want voter they want ID for this, but not to secure our vote. Unacceptable. 888-971-SAGE.
I'm Jennifer Horn. More up ahead. It's the Larry Elder Show.
Thanks for joining [music] us. Welcome back. It is Friday here on the Salem Radio Network, Salem News Channel and this very [music] station. Welcome in.
It is the Larry Elder Show. Larry is out today. He'll be back in with you next week. I'm Jennifer Horn, happy to be sitting in with you on the start of Father's Day weekend. I love my dad. I hope you're going to have some time remembering your dad, celebrating him and for all the dads out there, we salute you because it's a tough job and we thank you for sticking it out.
888-971-SAGE.
That is the number to call in. It is open line Friday and we have lots on the table. We've been talking about Iran.
We're talking about this great new program in California that wants to certify gay people in an effort to give them $633 million in contracts through the California Public Utilities Commission. Yeah. And their certification process, if you want to laugh a little bit, it includes oh, ID and proof of citizenship. And utility bills. All the things the Democrats from Chuck Schumer wiggling on down the ranks say that people can't get in an effort to vote and that it would be racist, homophobic, sexist to require women and people of color to have to show their identification to go cast their ballot.
But I guess it's fine to certify your gayness in California. 888-971-SAGE.
Now, we also had President Trump speak just about I don't know, about 3 hours ago. He was talking in a in um brand new hangar which is going to be the home of the brand new Air Force One. And he had a little fun, of course, with the press that were there to cover it. Cut 17.
>> There'll never be one like this. This is a very unique. This is uh considered the world's most luxurious plane when it was built.
It was built at a level that will probably never be seen again. And if the press would like I don't know if it's going to help me with stories. I don't think they'll be any different.
But what we're going to do is we're going to take you for just a quick tour.
Uh the press is actually going to Oh, look at them. They're actually smiling.
Are you smiling?
First time I've seen them smile in years. They don't smile at Republicans.
They should smile at Republicans cuz we're the ones that make America great.
Anyway, but that's good. You happy about that? We'll do it. All right. So, when I leave, they're going to take you for a little tour. You'll see something you won't even believe.
And you'll be spending a lot of time looking at do We're doing a lot of trips. We'll be >> If you haven't had a chance, by the way, if you're ever in Southern California, we have two incredibly beautiful presidential libraries. We have the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, which is incredible. They have his home, his birthplace home, which is teeny tiny in the back of the museum. It's incredible. But the Reagan Library is stunning. They have Air Force One that was retired when Ronald Reagan was president, and you can walk on that.
And I'm going to tell you right now, it is just such an incredible experience.
And it seems that this Air Force One will be part of President Trump's presidential library, which will be forthcoming and amazing opportunity there. If you get a chance to see it, it's definitely something to add to your list. It's a lot of fun. All right.
888-971 Sage, let's say hello to Rose in Indiana on line eight. Hello, Rose.
>> Hi, Jennifer. Great to talk to you.
>> You too.
>> Listen, >> [laughter] >> the Democrats are known for using people, whether you're black, gay, it doesn't matter. All they want is that money. Now, the $630 million is a lot of money. Who's going to qualify for that? They're making it so difficult for the people that they really say that they love.
>> cost of a tank of gas in California, Rose. It's a lot of money.
>> I >> [laughter] >> I know.
>> And I'm like, you know, they're making it so difficult for everybody. So, who can we use this time to get our hands on some money? Because with all the fraud all over the country that everybody's being investigated with, everything's been shut down. So, they don't have any money. So, what they want to do is take the funds and say it is under this, it's under that, and make it extremely difficult for anyone that they say they support to get their hands on the money.
And then who's going to be monitoring that money? Them.
>> Of course.
>> Where's the money going to go? To them.
Because there's no other money that they can get their hands on. So, they're going to be inventing a lot of this kind of stuff.
>> don't forget you have to pay someone to certify the gay people, right? I mean, that's what they're they're doing here.
Someone some team of brainiacs is going to be out there certifying gay people in California.
>> [laughter] >> It's so sad, isn't it? They're just taking advantage of everybody. And I hope that the LGBTQ community wakes up and realizes that, you know, that they're being taken advantage of. It's getting old. People are awakening from all life all kinds of life, you know, and people are being taken advantage of.
And you know, their ship has already sunk.
>> And you know, it what really irritates me and Rose, thank you so much for the phone call. I think you're right on.
What irritates me with this this um argument about voter ID that that black people or women or uh the LGBTQ community will not be able to figure out how to vote because they can't get an ID. It's extremely offensive to all of us who have a brain and can figure out how to get an identification. But it's also sort of offensive uh I'm not part of the LGBTQ community, but if I were, I'd say, "What do you mean I have to certify my sexuality? What is that all about? I And that's why Harmeet Dhillon has has stepped in to say that this could be a violation of civil rights by the Democrats who claim to be the big proponents for these groups. 888-971-SAGE.
Let's say hello again. It's open line Friday to Grace in Lackawanna line two.
Hi Grace.
>> Uh hello. Um Thanks Jen. Um You know what?
It's appalling that the Democrats they flip I think they're maybe uh trying to uh do like I don't know psychological operation like flipping their arguments are so inconsistent.
>> I know.
>> They're so hypocritical about everything. Um uh one minute they say, you know, they argue whatever's convenient at the moment. They don't have any moral compass about anything. So then they just keep flipping the arguments about anything and everything um to uh like argue what's uh convenient for them keeping power.
Uh uh and whatever. Uh I mean in every realm. So one minute you hear an argument in one direction and then they flip it upside down.
>> Absolutely.
>> And >> And don't even blink, Grace. They don't even blink. Uh thank you for the phone call. They don't even blink. Grant in St. George on line one. Hi Grant.
>> Hello. How are you?
>> Doing great. Thanks.
>> So I have I have something completely off subject.
>> It's open line Friday.
>> But I thought of a second question that I didn't ask the screeners, but I think it's appropriate. So the first question I have is and this goes back a little bit. Um they talked a lot about um packing the courts, which has potential to absolutely destroy the country.
They they talked about it enough that you know it's part of the agenda. My question is, number one, why aren't we talking about a constitutional amendment that limits it to nine?
>> You know what, Grant? I want to keep I want to keep you on the line cuz I think this is a really good and important question. So, hang on the line. We'll We'll come back to you after the break, but I do think there is a lot of conversation, especially this week from Democrats, about packing the court.
We'll talk about that. It is open line Friday. 888-971-SAGE.
888-971-SAGE.
Open line Friday in full effect. We'll tell you about more about California and They want illegal immigrants to vote in local elections in Los Angeles. More of that. I'm Jennifer Horn. It's the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] [music] >> It sure is, and I'm Jennifer Horn, happy [music] to be sitting in for the Sage today. You can join me on social media as well at Jennifer Horn Radio on Facebook and Instagram, at Jennifer Horn on [music] X and on Truth. And guys, it is open line Friday. 888-971-SAGE.
Going to tell you in a moment about a new proposal, LA becoming the latest city to take a big step in letting non-citizens vote in local elections.
Surprised it really hasn't happened yet.
As someone who lives in Los Angeles, I'm surprised that they are just now getting to this. San Francisco, some other liberal cities have done the same thing.
I think Massachusetts has a similar law in some of their local elections as well. But, before the break, we were talking to Grant in St. George on line one. Grant, welcome back to the Larry Elder Show. You had a question about packing the Supreme Court.
>> Yes. I It's It just seems counterproductive because inevitably it it's it's not a partisan thing because if the Democrats pack it then the Republican will pack it then the Democrat will pack it and the Republican will pack it.
>> It never ends. It's a disaster and it just becomes a lapdog of the executive branch which which you know, John Marshall through different things he did made sure that that wasn't the case that the judiciary was independent of the executive branch.
Um specifically when they were trying Aaron Burr for treason for trying to take over the Gulf Coast states and rebel against American pull across and and John Marshall didn't see enough evidence to execute him the way that Jefferson wanted him to be.
The judicial thing needs to be independent of it. Now, I understand some justices are put in by Obama, some are put in by Trump, some are put in by Biden, some are That's how it works and that's what the voters do and it reflects the voting population.
And that's the more important part, but it really truly has a way of destroying the republic we we live in.
>> I want to give you a little bit of an update Grant because they have been working on this in the House of Representatives in and this is actually some good news that I can tell you. I When you called, I remember there was this Keep Nine Act that Speaker Johnson had reintroduced. I think there were 72 co-sponsors, but that was back in 2025. So I just did a quick Google search to see where that is and there was an update actually on it June 4th of 2026. So amazing that we're talking about this. That was just a few weeks ago. The US House Judiciary Committee advanced a proposed amendment to the US Constitution to limit the number of justices on the United United States Supreme Court. They would keep it at nine. This is called the Keep Nine Bill and this amendment and measure would permanently cap the number of justices on the court at nine. According to to Reuters on June 4th, lawmakers said that the move was necessary to block what right now is a Democrat plan from packing the court if they regain control of Congress. So, they're trying to to get this to move along. So far, the Judiciary Committee voted along party lines 15 to 8 to move the measure forward, but it moved. To take effect, the amendment would need 2/3 of a vote both in the House and the Senate.
And uh they would need to uh vote they would need all of the states, by the way, to ratify it. So, that's where it is now. And or excuse me, they would need 38 states to ratify it. So, that's where it is now. And um and we'll see what happens, but at least they're thinking about this because sometimes Republicans get taken by surprise even when Democrats sell their ideas loudly, and then we seem surprised when they actually want to implement it. So, thank you for the phone call. All right, Marty in uh Lexington, Kentucky. Hi, Marty.
>> Hello.
>> Hi.
>> Yes. Two points. One, anybody who's ever lived in a communist country is fully aware that that's a mistake.
And I I think it was Einstein that said doing the same experiment over and over and expecting different results is insanity.
>> Mhm.
>> So, I I equate communism, socialism, and the people who are pushing it as insane because it's been experimented so many times and failed.
>> But see, I think if you're talking about Democrats who are pushing socialist candidates, by the way, and pushing socialism in this country, and it's catching fire, which is so disturbing, they want that. And I think they want it not because they believe in what they're selling, they want it because they know it will destroy the country, and then they can rebuild it as they see fit. And they're going to rebuild it so that they're in power, and the rest of us suffer.
>> Well, you're right. That That's all they care about is power. And what better way to have power is to create socialism cuz who has the power? The few that are in charge. I mean, Fidel Castro was a communist. He was in charge. That's what they want. They don't want to work for it. They don't want to earn it. They just want power.
>> Yeah, just want power and they want to give people just enough to let them stay in power. That's what's really disturbing here. Thanks so much for the phone call. Open Line Friday here on the Larry Elder Show. 888-971-SAGE.
Guys, it was Tulsi Gabbard's last day as a Director of National Intelligence and she left an explosive present for Dr. Fauci. We've got it for you next. I'm Jennifer Horn. It's the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] [music] >> Welcome back. It is the Larry Elder Show for a Friday. I'm Jennifer Horn, happy to be filling in for my friend the Sage.
[music] Today, he'll be back with you next week.
Now, Tulsi Gabbard is the outgoing Director of National Intelligence and she has left her post. Her husband is battling a rare form of cancer and she is now done.
On her last day, she released a steaming hot president present for Dr. Fauci.
The Look, somebody that I think we all believed created this COVID crisis that wrecked not only our country, but ran through the globe. And the reason I say that is it was well reported by conservative media outlets and and others that this was not something that was just happened in a wet market with a pangolin and a bat or whatever this ridiculous story was from China that was perpetuated by the Biden administration and by Dr. Fauci himself. That guy has a special place, if you know what I mean, because a lot of people died and died alone because of what we are learning now. And so, here's what I have always believed, and that is that Dr. Fauci was adamant about doing gain of function research, meaning he wanted to go in and adapt viruses to use them to weaponize them.
And he had been working on that under the Obama administration for a long time. And here's something nice to say about Obama. Even Obama said, "Yo, Fauci, this is a little bit too much for us. This is dangerous. We don't want to do it anymore. Enough of that." And he cut the government funding for the gain of function research. Well, that wasn't enough for Fauci. Fauci wanted to keep it going. So, he went to he took the National Institute of Health and he partnered up with the EcoHealth Alliance. Peter Daszak is the guy's name that you will hear if you look into this. And they continued gain of function research.
There was a lab leak. You can tell me all the different stories about a pangolin that you want. This virus escaped, whether that was accidental or intentional, and we don't know about China's involvement. Well, let me tell you that this happened, and now Tulsi Gabbard is blowing the whistle on Dr. Anthony Fauci. Take a listen. This is Tulsi Gabbard, and she released this today.
>> Before the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain of function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic.
Now, in support of President Trump's maximum transparency mandate, today, on my final day as director of national intelligence, I'm releasing never-before-seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions, the viruses lab leak origins, and his role in directing US funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. Now, these documents expose Fauci's direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19 and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024 when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research. We also received testimony from multiple intelligence community whistleblowers who reported retaliation for challenging the intelligence community's manipulation of intelligence on the viruses origins, once again revealing a clear pattern of suppressing dissent, silencing critics, and burying the truth.
Dr. Fauci's close relationships with the intelligence community enabled him to assume three key roles that shield him from scrutiny.
First, Dr. Fauci funded dangerous gain-of-function coronavirus research linked to Big Pharma and their pursuit of universal vaccines worth trillions of dollars. Second, Dr. Fauci was the behind-the-scenes who, alongside his hand- picked so-called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to hide his dangerous gain-of-function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars. All of this in a deliberate attempt to cover up the truth and shift the blame and attention away from Fauci's own actions.
Third, Dr. Fauci became the nation's pandemic pundit and he publicly pushed lies, disinformation, and censorship using every platform available.
Now, according to hundreds of reviewed emails, which are included in this release, the intelligence community almost always incorporated Fauci's recommendations. He promoted a fraudulent paper whose publication he helped prompt as legitimate information for intelligence community consideration. Senior analysts praised Dr. Fauci not as a policy maker, but as what they called an unbiased guide to the real coronavirus experts, while deliberately ignoring experts who might dissent from Fauci's narratives. Now, Fauci didn't stop there. He blatantly lied to Congress under oath during his 2024 testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, denying that he ever spoke to any intelligence agency about COVID.
Now, the correspondence I'm releasing today directly contradicts his sworn testimony. Now, we received statements from multiple whistleblowers revealing that the intelligence analysts who dared to challenge Dr. Fauci's COVID origin conclusions faced threats of retaliation, marginalization, and many suffered career setbacks. For example, a contractor was told >> That is Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence for last day in office. She releases these documents and this video going through how Dr. Fauci actually personally profited, lied to the American people, all in an effort to use Big Pharma to vaccinate everybody in an effort to hide his dangerous gain-of-function research, and we're learning that if anybody came out and spoke out against him, they would be in trouble. Remember, this was the guy that People magazine made their sexiest man of the year. You remember that? Dr. Fauci was a hero and I think still remains a hero to many people on the left, even though some of those people are having complications at this moment from this vaccine. That was pushed on them. If you wanted to go places, if you wanted to have a job, many people received that vaccine not wanting it, but feeling they had to get it. All of the practice, shutting us down, shutting our schools down, keeping us indoors, all of that lays at the doorstep of Dr. Fauci. And don't get me started on the people who were in hospitals and nursing homes who had to die alone without their family.
And now he gets immunity from the Biden administration.

>> [music] [music] >> Here we are. Thanks for joining us.
Finally a Friday on the Larry Elder Show. I'm Jennifer Horn in for Larry, he'll be back next week. Glad to have you along with us. You can give Larry a follow at larryelder.com. Check out the uh Elder Shop, pretty cool stuff there.
And always on social media at Larry Elder. All right, it's open line Friday.
We have lots of topics on the table.
888-971-SAGE.
Let's say hello to Dan in Indiana. Hi Dan, line nine. Hi.
>> Yeah, it is it You got me?
>> I got you. Hi.
>> Okay. Okay, yeah, hi. Yeah, um regarding the Middle East, do you agree that we need to keep in mind the fact that Islamist terrorists, like the IRGC or Hezbollah, are opportunistic?
>> Absolutely.
>> stop attacking Israel, the United States, or any of their other uh perceived enemy nations, it it's not because they have any change of heart whatsoever.
>> Mhm.
>> They're it it's it's it's merely because they're making a tactical decision to temporarily cool their jets to avoid being clobbered any further at this time.
>> I agree with all of that. I don't think you can trust the IRGC for 1 minute.
I've been saying that all program long.
I've been saying it on my own morning show in Los Angeles. I don't think that you can trust this deal, the paper that it's written on, but I also think that you have to understand that President Trump is is not necessarily being played by Iran. I know the people that he has around them. I know them personally.
They are very aware I mean, look, our former colleague here on Salem Radio wrote the book Defeating Jihad. He is working in the Trump White House right now. Donald Trump is not getting played by an idea that Iran can be bargained with. They only respond to military strength, but we've got an election coming up. We got to get the strait open. I actually think this is an opportunity for Donald Trump to buy time so that Republicans keep control of the House and the Senate so that he can continue to have oversight over Iran. If Democrats get in there, they will side with Iran and limit presidential power, and that's a problem.
>> Yeah. No, I just so long as we take this into the into our calculus, it it makes sense.
>> 100%. Thank you so much for the phone call. Appreciate it. Keith in Orange County on line seven or Orangevale, California. Sorry about that. Hi, Keith.
>> Hi, no Hi, no worries. Thank you, Jenna, for a good afternoon. Hey, hey, I just want to talk to the the listeners out there and ask them what what are they doing to invest their money? Where are they buying their products from? Where Where Where is their money flowing to?
Are they Are they Are you still buying Netflix as your streaming service?
Because, you know, how much money did they dump into Kamala Harris's campaign?
>> Keith, you bring up such a great point that the biggest power that we have is is the power of the dollar.
Yeah, thank you for that, Keith.
>> So, me, my family, we we bought into AMAC, the Association for Mature American Citizens.
>> Keith, we're up against the break, but I totally appreciate your comment. And yeah, you have to figure out what places to support and what their motivations are. That is absolutely important. Our power as consumers should not be overlooked. Thanks for the phone call.
I'm Jennifer Horn. It is the Larry Elder Show.

We're having a little fun today.
Whatever is on your mind, you can join us. 888-971-SAGE.
888-971-SAGE.
And I have to give you my favorite story of the week, at least one of them.
There've been a few doozies this week.
Let's just admit that.
But, this week marked the opening, yesterday, of the Obama Presidential Center.
Did you celebrate?
I know you did. I know you did.
Now, a couple of things about this.
The Obama Presidential Center is called the Obama Presidential Center because did you know that it is not a presidential library?
I know. Shock and awe. So, here's why.
NARA, which handles all of the archives and presidential records, gets involved with all of the presidential libraries out there, whether it's Reagan or Bush or or the Clinton library, they have all of the artifacts from the presidents that they are supposed to maintain in perpetuity.
So, a couple of things happen when former presidents start to think about their library or even current presidents cuz sometimes that planning starts while the individual is still in office.
And the Obama Foundation didn't want to have to raise the money that it would take to create a formal presidential library.
So, they opted out. They are not working with NARA, which means that all of the stuff that you might find in a presidential library is not at the Obama Presidential Center because they chose to go on the cheap.
They chose not to create a space that would actually be climate controlled, that would have humidity sensors so that you could actually house artifacts from the Obama presidency.
Not that there were a lot. I mean, let's be real. People have been saying they go inside the library and there's just not much there. Yeah, sort of like the Obama presidency.
Not a lot on the inside, you know, when you dig around.
And get this, Obama himself wanted to have a hand in designing this library, which I'm not trying to be mean, but it looks like a milk carton. It I mean, it kind of could the word dump be used appropriately here? I don't know. It just doesn't look nice. It does not have a lot of design characters. I'm used to seeing the Reagan library, the Nixon library, these beautiful presidential libraries. This sort of looks like, I don't know, like something that you'd see maybe in a video game with someone shooting arrows off the top at you. I don't know what it looks like. It may be a watchtower.
It's it's kind of a square, but it looks like a little kid made it out of Play-Doh and the square is not quite complete. So, Obama wanted to help design it and good for you, Obama. He did. Uh so, it's not the prettiest thing I've ever seen and it doesn't have the association in our because he didn't want to have to comply with the climate regulations. Isn't that a joke? [laughter] Yeah. So, uh it's the presidential center. There is a library, a branch of the Chicago Public Library that is on the grounds of the Obama Center, but that's just sort of to fulfill, I guess, the library aspect of this.
So, that's story number one. Just poorly designed, they wanted to cut corners, and they didn't even end up cutting corners because then scandal number two of this story is that apparently they shortchanged all of the people who worked on this. I'm sure you might have heard this story, but subcontractors say that they've actually been they they're owed millions of dollars.
And these minority-run contract By the way, primarily minority-run businesses that built this library, plumbers, think electricians, they haven't been paid.
Your buddy, President Obama, or as Trump likes to remind us, Barack Hussein Obama, not paying his minority-run businesses that helped build this library.
But then here's the doozy of them all.
This is my favorite clip, my favorite story of the whole stinking week.
You remember Valerie Jarrett?
What maybe? Some might say she was still very involved in running the country under Joe Biden. Some might say she is was the president unelected in the Biden administration. Well, apparently the Obama Presidential Center, don't call me a library, was built on stolen tribal land.
Is that great? Rich, right?
So, the president that was for marginalized groups that vilified white people, he is now built his library on tribal land. And if you don't believe me, Valerie Jarrett at the opening of the Presidential Center actually acknowledges it from behind the podium. Listen to this craziness. Cut 10.
>> We'd also like to take a moment to recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today.
We honor the Anishinaabe, the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi Nations.
>> [gasps] >> Yeah.
So, we got stolen land, unpaid contractors, and a pretty ugly library with not much inside.
And that's not my review. That's the review of the people who are inside. Oh, and one more.
Don't get away from me yet.
Guess what you have to show to get inside.
A government-issued ID.
You can't make this stuff up. You just can't. That same ID that we just talked about last hour that they don't want you to show when you go vote, you have to show yours if you want to go into that showplace of Barack Obama so you can see his yes we can written in like um neon lights.
Yeah. So, Obama spoke, so did Michelle, yesterday at the library. Let's listen in. Cut 1.
>> Now, of course we did not accomplish everything we set out to do.
>> We didn't finish ruining the country.
>> Some of the exhibits reflect on >> That's it?
That's all we got?
>> In some cases, my own shortcomings and mistakes.
In some cases because as a sign I kept on the Resolute Desk red.
Hard things are hard.
And that's especially true in a big, raucous, diverse, argumentative democracy like the United States of America.
Everybody's got an opinion.
And that means getting stuff done involves reconciling the demands of a couple of hundred million people.
Democracy can be frustrating.
It can be slow. It can be inefficient.
>> Just your democracy.
>> And yet more than anything, I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special and precious our democracy truly is.
And remind us what we can achieve when we embrace our shared responsibilities as citizens.
>> Like paying your bills.
All right, that was Barack Obama yesterday at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.
So many things to add there. This is a guy that just frustrates me because the left will run to embrace him. He is still a hero even though he did more to destroy race relations in this country.
I don't think anybody did worse The climate hadn't been worse since the Civil War. That was on Barack Obama.
Barack Obama with his invention and bringing in the DEI initiatives and and making everybody their skin color or their sexuality or their gender instead of just being a person. Better yet, an American citizen. This guy divided our country and we're still trying to battle back. And then he stands up there and talks about hard is hard, which sounds like a Kamala Harris line to me.
Maybe that's where she gets some of her her quotations. She's reading from the Barack Obama poetry book.
It just it's it's very frustrating to hear him at a podium and look, he gets a presidential library, they all do.
But it's just interesting to me that he's lecturing all of us about doing our duties and he can't even pay his contractors.
That's pretty bad. It's pretty bad.
I'm curious to know how the attendance will be. I know look, you've got a lot of celebrity power that was there.
They're willing to forgive him for, you know, detaining migrant children, for doing all of those things that Obama did cuz when Obama did does it, it's it's fine. It's not Trump. Trump derangement syndrome just runs wild.
In any case, what do you think? What was your story of the week? This was mine.
The tribal land just just had me going.
888-971-SAGE.
You can chime in. It is open line Friday. 888-971-SAGE.
Coming up next, Los Angeles is the latest city to now try to get non-citizens to vote.
And I've got news for them. Judging by the last election, I'm sure a few non-citizens have already voted in Los Angeles, but they want to make it legal.
We'll tell you why and the ramifications as we continue. I'm Jennifer Horn. It is the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] >> It sure is and I'm happy to be sitting in for Larry today. I'm Jennifer Horn.
[music] You can give me a follow at Jennifer Horn Radio. Love to connect with you on Facebook and Instagram there or at Jennifer Horn on X and on Truth.
And you can also find our morning show in Los Angeles, the Morning Answer on AM 870 and AM 590 The Answer. Open line Friday, we are going to get to your calls here in just a moment at 888-971-SAGE.
But there is a story in Los Angeles that you must know about. And that is that the Los Angeles City Council is taking a big step forward letting non-citizens vote in elections. Now, this seems a bit ironic because even if you were outside Los Angeles, you have probably seen all the national attention that was given to our primary, which was on June 2nd for a couple of reasons. One, we had Steve Hilton who was running in the gubernatorial race. He advanced as a Republican into November against Javier Becerra. But, even more interest in Los Angeles came with reality star Spencer Pratt challenging the norm, challenging current Mayor Karen Bass, the woman who starts every hour here on the Larry Elder Show with her prolific comments about people with no teeth.
And Nithya Raman, who is a Democrat Socialist DSA member if I've ever seen one, a big problem for Los Angeles. She wants to take over the golf courses, which is really the only thing nice that Los Angeles has left, and she wants to put homeless people on there.
Is that going to be a great idea?
Yeah.
So, a lot of people were watching the mayor's race. It got national attention.
Spencer Pratt was using AI. He was campaigning in a different way. A lot of people were paying attention. In any case, Spencer Pratt was leading on election night by 40,000 votes. And slowly, slowly, slowly, over the week between election day and the following Tuesday, magically, enough ballots came in for Nithya Raman to take the lead for second place, overcome a 50 or excuse me, a 40,000 vote deficit, and beat Spencer Pratt by tens of thousands of votes.
There are investigations going on by the federal government. In fact, the FBI was just in Los Angeles yesterday on Skid Row talking to homeless people because there are reports that homeless people and non-citizens were given money to vote in the LA mayor's race for Nithya Raman, falsifying documents and faking their addresses, etc. So, an investigation into that race is going on. But, of course, and I'm surprised they haven't done it before.
The members of the LA City Council say, "You know what? Let's just make it legal for non-citizens to vote, at least in local elections and for school board races."
So, uh Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez decided to advance this idea, took it to the floor of the City Council for a vote. Cut eight.
>> I just want to say that, you know, this is another one of the uh sort of my top priorities.
Uh and this is about residential voting.
Uh I think we've all seen the news coverage and heard about it a bit more, but I want to talk about what this means for me and for many people.
You know, to uh this issue to me is really about fairness and representation. Um It just does not make sense to me that someone who moves to Los Angeles for a temporary job has more of a voice than a parent who has been here for decades raising their children uh through our public schools. I think we all know folks that come here, have created roots, they work every single day, they raise their kids, they have homes, they have businesses, yet they do not have say over their local government.
>> Become a citizen.
This is what drives me absolutely insane. If you have been here for 20 years, there is no excuse on this planet for you not taking the steps to become a citizen of the United States.
That's appalling.
And yes, I I I would love to see Look, as many times as I lose elections in California and we Republicans lose elections all the time here.
It's sometimes just a foregone conclusion.
This for me is not about winning or losing elections. This is about doing what is right and what is responsible.
You need to be a legal citizen of the United States if you want to participate in the elections. I don't I I mean that would be the rule if you or I went to another country, if we went to France, or if we went to Italy.
Why are they so set on letting this happen? And believe me, I am under no grand illusions that this would be the first time non-citizens would vote in any election because in California, we have motor voter rules, which means you go to the DMV to get a driver's license, you're an illegal immigrant, you can get one of those.
And you actually have to opt out of being registered to vote. I just went through this process cuz I had to get a real ID.
And literally they were trying to register me to vote again.
And you have to be honest enough to opt out, or you have to understand enough to opt out. So, how many people accidentally or purposely are already on the voter rolls in California who are not eligible to vote? And this guy, Sotomartinez, wants to say, "Yeah, everybody should be able to vote." Why not incentivize people to become citizens and stop living in the shadows and start getting the benefits of being an American citizen? 888-971-SAGE.
I know I'm making too much sense for a Friday in Los Angeles. Let's say hello to uh Jim in Bakersfield. Hi, Jim. Open Line Friday on the Larry Elder Show.
>> Hello, how are you doing?
>> Great, thank you.
>> Uh what I want to say, and yeah, I'm not an extremist. I don't want to see our troops uh killed going in, but unless we have total victory, it it it it you're dealing with the devil. He's a they're a liar. I really believe they want a nuclear bomb that we do like we did with Japan. You take and drop a small one, and see if they surrender. If they don't, drop another one, and then you can change the regime, you can help them rebuild just like we did Japan. And it is uh you know, I'm going to tell you like this, if you know the Bible, the Lord says that he's going to put a hook in the jaw of like Russia, Persia, which is and and they're going to bring it and the Lord is going to destroy them all. And I I know that we can't destroy them all because the Lord's going to do that. But the thing is, why not set them back a hundred years?
>> Well, I think that's the idea here, Jim, is that they were try I mean, we've already sent them back decades with their with their weapon and their nuclear program. That's the good news.
And President Trump actually already did drop bombs. So, the drop the bombs have been dropped. I mean, you can make the argument we need to do more of that. But what does victory look like to you in Iran, Jim?
I'm curious.
>> Well, what I think would should happen is I don't want to see America make a mistake of us sending ground troops in.
You know, we lost four Israeli troops.
I'm a born-again Christian. You might think this is odd for me to say drop a bomb, but I'm telling you that that my brothers and sisters I I'm drafted into being a Jew. What I'm saying, I lost four of them yesterday. I don't want to lose any Americans. You know, we You know, we're going to be blessed. The Bible says that if we bless Israel, we will be blessed.
>> Sure.
>> And and and if we don't, we're going to be cursed. And sometimes, and I I have voted for Trump, but one thing I I have a real problem with is sometimes when he throws somebody under the bus, it gets ugly. And I don't want him to throw Netanyahu. I think >> Well, I think I mean, if you listen to Trump today. Look, they have a complicated relationship and President Trump's also in a position where he wants this deal to go through. But he was talking kindly about Netanyahu today and I think they have a great respect for one another. And despite this deal or at least bullet points, President Trump has been the greatest friend as an American president that Israel has ever had. And we're up against the break, so I thank you for the phone call, Jim, but I'd also say the bombs have already been dropped. That's what we've been doing all along. And you're saying you don't have an appetite for a ground war.
That's what's going to take to finish the job. So, that's what we have to be prepared for. Do we want to finish the job, which I agree would be the ultimate win, but do we have the appetite for what will be a long war, drawn out, American lives lost? That's tough. 888-971-SAGE.
Open Line Friday, I'm Jennifer Horn.
It's the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] [music] >> That's us. It is the Larry Elder Show.
I'm Jennifer Horn, happy to be filling in for my friend Larry on a Friday, Open Line Friday. We have declared it as such, and we will take your phone calls here in just a moment. 888-971-SAGE is the number, but I have to bring you up to speed on the latest news, and there have been big advancements in the war on M&M's.
That's right. You thought I was going to say Iran, didn't you? No, no.
So, uh you know that RFK Jr. has been very big and prolific in the Maha movement. Well, creators of M&M's have been working to remove artificial dyes.
So, they're going to remove some colors from the M&M's. I think this could be controversial. Do you guys remember when they removed the tan one? You remember that tan color?
And it just disappeared one day. The tan ones poof, gone. Nobody said anything because it was kind of a nondescript ugly color, but it was gone, and I remember.
So, now the Mars brand says that they are going to get rid of artificial dyes.
But guess what color they're getting rid of?
>> [gasps] >> They're getting rid of two. They're getting rid of blue, which I can get. I mean, that's pretty artificial, right?
It looks like a Smurf.
But they're getting rid of the brown ones.
Of all of the M&M's, the red, the green, the orange, the blue, brown to me looks like it doesn't have anything artificial in it. It just looks like a chocolate candy. But apparently, it's a big problem. So, they're getting rid of the blue and the brown, and they are going maha with a massive overhaul that are going to actually eliminate these two colors. Apparently, there have been challenges to try to try to do blue and brown naturally.
So, out they go.
So, my question, guys in the studio, is this going to be okay with you? You're going to be all right without blue and brown M&M's? Do you have a favorite M&M color?
You don't see color. Okay, so Sean's color blind. He's There was a certification for that, I think, that we talked about [laughter] earlier.
We'll just move on from that. But, um >> [laughter] [gasps] >> You're just lobbing these, you know, these softballs over the plate, you know.
Got to hit them out of the park. All right. So, I know some people are weird like musicians like the green M&M's or something. I don't really care about the color. I mean, the M&M is a candy. I agree with you the peanut M&M's are better. And then you can kind of lie to yourself and tell you that it's a protein. So, it's not a candy.
Exactly. Exactly. So, I don't know, but it just it kind of surprised me with all of the bad publicity that red dye gets that somehow the big offenders are the blue and the brown ones.
So, according to the new FDA rules, the FDA has approved some artificial dyes identified as blue number one, blue number two, citrus red, blah blah blah.
And so, some natural food dyes are going to be used to make the M&M's. Beet juice and powder, mhm, cuz nothing says delicious snack like beet juice and powder.
Mhm.
Beta carotene, that sounds healthy.
Butterfly pea flower extract.
We're getting creative.
Fruit juice, riboflavin, saffron, spirulina extract, turmeric, and vegetable juice. I'm just hoping that there is not residual beet taste in the M&M's because that will ruin it.
Yeah.
>> [laughter] >> It's a very small device used to get the butterfly pea. You're right.
Okay. 888-971 Sage, I just thought you ought to know about this big win in the war. Moses in Palmdale.
Line number four, thank you Moses for holding. Welcome to the Larry Elder Show. Hello.
>> Hello. Hi.
>> Hi.
>> The head of the about the uh a uh Iran and uh and the deal, this is the best deal ever has been done in the United States.
>> You think so, Moses? Really? The best deal ever?
>> Absolutely.
>> Okay.
>> Absolutely.
>> I love you, Moses. Why is this the best deal ever, please?
>> First of all, first of all, the Iranian cannot uh affect go away from the deal cuz they will be bombed.
>> They will be bombed?
>> Yeah, and don't don't need the America to wait a month or two for it to arrange how to bomb them.
>> Okay.
>> This is one.
So, they know that. They have shot in helicopter. They have got a respond immediately less than 24 hours, and that respond exactly make them understand that they cannot do anything more than they just thinking.
This is because they will be respond.
Now, they were thinking about to send about 300 missiles over Israel.
They have been thinking about the respond that can be them. So, Donald Trump saved them by certain saved them from whatever it Israel is can respond to them.
>> You know what, Moses? I'm going to tell you what.
I think that this is why we have open line Friday, just to get a little pep in our step and we feel a little bit better when we hear from you, Moses in Palmdale. Thank you. He says it's the best deal ever.
You know, I say it's not that bad, but hey, all right, I like it. Jennifer Horn, more up ahead. It's the Larry Elder Show.
>> [music] [music] >> Here we are. Thanks for joining us.
Finally a Friday here on the Larry Elder Show. The Sage is out today. He'll be back in next week. It is open line Friday in his absence. 888-971-Sage.
I'm Jennifer Horn and before we jump into your phone calls, you guys have to hear this. This is an Arizona Democrat, Jonathan Trebel. We've been talking about how crazy it is that voter ID is needed to get into the Obama Presidential Center, that I Excuse me, that ID ID is used to get into the the Obama Center, that ID is used in California to certify gay people and that it shouldn't be used in elections because then that is racist, homophobic and sexist. Cut eight.
Or six, excuse me.
>> And he's trying to ram through that segment.
That would be devastating to the right to vote.
It would affect like women more than than others because they've changed their name in their life. They would now have to provide two forms of identification by We need to make sure the SAFE Act is not passed.
Yes, we do need to pass John Lewis Voting Rights Act, absolutely. And we need to make sure we put restrictions on ICE, especially that they cannot show up within a mile of any polling place in any election.
>> Hm. Okay. So, love that. He says that the Save America Act would be devastating because he thinks married women wouldn't know how to show ID.
Always good to have faith in the in in the girls, man.
We can figure things out, you know. we keep households running, we birth children. We keep our families alive.
A lot of us have jobs. We figure it out, pal. We do. It's going to be all right.
888-971-SAGE is the number. Let's go to Bill in Cleveland on line 10. Hello, Bill.
>> How are you, Jennifer?
>> Doing fine. Just trying to figure out how to get my ID, Bill. Can you help a girl out?
>> [laughter] >> Uh sure.
>> What's on your mind tonight, Bill?
>> I I got something for you.
>> Okay.
>> Um okay.
Uh Barack Obama opens up his library in Chicago, okay?
Trump uh gets Sorry, the Trumps uh get snubbed on an invite.
>> Mhm.
>> Let's speed the Let's speed the clock forward.
Let's say Mr. Trump's out of office. He builds a monument to, you know, build a library or something uh builds a monument to his his legacy as president.
Um what would happen if Obama got snubbed from that from that ceremony?
>> Oh, I think you can count on it. I think he I don't think he'll get invited. I think you I think I just I don't think there's any love lost here. And by the way, it was the Biden and Obama administration that weaponized their Department of Justice to personally go after President Trump, his family, and his close associates.
So, I >> I understand that.
>> I'd have no problem saying, "Sorry, I don't need you there." In fact, I actually think the only sitting president that that Trump would invite, you ready for this? Do you know who you think Do you know who it would be?
I think it would be Bill Clinton. I think he likes Bill Clinton.
That's what I think. I don't know, but thanks for the phone call. It's interesting uh interesting game to play.
Sam in Pittsburgh, line nine. Hi, Sam.
>> Hey, how are you?
>> Good, thank you.
>> Hey, quick question. Do you are you in favor of self-deportation?
>> Am I in favor of self-deportation?
Well, certainly if you're here illegally and you don't want to get in trouble, it's not a bad idea. Sure, why?
>> I'm also asking like in general self-deportation.
Like if you don't love this country, maybe you should leave, right?
>> Absolutely, yes, 100%. In fact, I think there have been some people who have been helped along with that, including some people who are here from Iran who got sent back because they were working against the United States. Yeah, if you don't like it, get out.
>> So, here's a question. How do you How do you like What are What should the government do to make conditions so that these people do leave?
These people who don't love this country leave.
>> You know, I wish that were the case, but those people are going to be here, they're going to work against us, they're going to be the loudest. It's never going to happen. They like to say that they hate America, but I would love these people to tell us any other country on the planet that is better than the country that we love. And all you have to do is look at all the people who have come to America for the first time for the World Cup and they're screaming the praises of Americans, our personalities, our spirit, our air conditioning, that's a big one.
And so, I think for all these people that complain, they have no idea what they are talking about. They are absolutely nuts. You think that that these crazy blue-haired ladies would last a day in Iran? Give me a break.
Mazam, thanks so much for the phone call. Great point. Antoinette in Sunset Beach, on line seven. Hey, Antoinette.
>> Thank you, Jen. Good afternoon. First off, uh Happy Father's Day for all our dads. I miss my daddy. He was a great dad.
>> A good weekend to do something, Antoinette. I was just thinking about that cuz I have a friend who's experiencing their first Father's Day without their dad and I thought, you know what, instead of being sad this weekend, go out and do something your dad would love, and just do it and have a great time for your dad."
>> For sure, and please say happy Father's Day to your dad, please.
>> He's listening, so you just said it.
>> [laughter] >> Oh, happy Father's Day, Mike. It's Antoinette from Sunset Beach. The other thing was, um, this voting situation. My family came here in the 1700s, but they went back to Mexico, my other family went back to Spain. My father's Spanish, my mother's Mexican. I was born in East Los Angeles, grew up in Central LA. But this whole idea, I mean, they're like trying to be like in New York.
>> Yeah.
>> I'll be damned. I hate the idea, and in the Latino community, we want people that are here illegally not only to self-deport, but have them deported because being an American citizen not only is it an honor and our civil right, this is our country.
>> Yeah.
>> And we have rules and laws and boundaries, and I'm sorry, excuse my French, I'm going to be nice. The damn fools, especially the far left and the socialist communist, I wish we could deport them. I love the idea of your last caller. Unfortunately, we can't, but the majority that are American citizens, they love Trump, they want things legal, but I swear these fools, these far far leftists are socialist and communist.
>> They don't get it.
>> They don't get it, and Antoinette, I I think we're up against the break here.
Thank you so much for the call. Happy Father's Day weekend. I would say that if you love this country enough to want to vote for her, you should love this country enough to become a citizen and respect the laws of the land.

>> Uh yeah. I I just wanted to say that Gavin out here in California um not accidentally, not stupidly, but purposely has destroyed over a million acres of farms, uh family owned farms, ranches, orchards, and vineyards.
>> This is This is something a lot of people don't know unless they're familiar with the landscape of California politics. And that is that if you drive up the five freeway throughout California, you are going to see a state sponsored dust bowl sign all over the farms in California because of environmental restrictions, they've really held back. They've sent farmers packing and running from the state because they can't get the water and the resources that they need for cattle farms, for almonds, all of these great products of California and Newsom is responsible for that and even you know one of the interesting things is that Brooke Rollins Department of Agriculture Secretary has been looking into California to try to see if she can bring some relief from the federal government. That's how bad it's getting.
