Larry Elder with Epoch Times

After Presidential Candidate Beto O’Rourke proposed a mandatory gun buyback program for “assault weapons” similar to that of Australia, Larry decides to take a look at the results of that program and whether its implementation helped or hurt Australians on average. Larry also looks into the mystery of why wives typically outlive their husbands.

In the aftermath of the El Paso and the Dayton shootings, Democratic politicians were quick to place blame on President Trump. Larry points out the hypocrisy on the Democrats part during Obama’s presidency and how no one blamed him for the mass shootings that occurred during his tenure. Larry further dives into the illogic of the left and their calls to restrict firearms ownership under a President they consider to be tyrannical.

In this week’s episode, Larry looks back at Trump’s past when he was loved by Democrats for his position on race relations. He also compares Trump’s position on immigration to that of past statements from Democrats, citing their similarities before the party’s switch on the issue. Larry also looks into just how well blacks have prospered economically under both Obama and Trump as well as comparing race relations were under both presidents.

In the midst of The Democratic Party and the media labeling President Trump’s remarks about Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Illhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley as racist, Larry decides to do some digging. What did the president actually say? How long has the Democratic Party been labeling Republicans as racist? Have race relations actually worsened under Trump? Larry answers all these questions and more in this week’s episode.

With calls for reparations by numerous political figures on the left, Larry decides to break down the calls for these payments. He dives into the history of slavery, how it spans millenia of human history across peoples and cultures and also questions why today’s Americans should be held responsible for actions they didn’t commit. He further argues why the minimum wage, welfare and fatherless households have a more powerful negative effect on the black community today than slavery did 150 years ago.

Larry discusses the drama surrounding Nike’s decision to pull its planned line of Betsy Ross Flag-themed shoes after football player-turned activist Colin Kaepernick pressures them to do so. He also dives into data that refutes claims by Kaepernick and other black activists that blacks in America are over-arrested and singled out by police for racial reasons. Larry further takes an opportunity to showcase the outlandish claims made by MSNBC contributor Michael Eric Dyson that the Betsy Ross Flag is akin to a swastika. larry elder the epoch times
