Laurence Allen Elder (born April 27, 1952) is an American conservative[1] talk radio host, author, politician and attorney who hosts The Larry Elder Show. The show began as a local program on Los Angeles radio station KABC in 1993 and ran until 2008, followed by a second run on KABC from 2010 to 2014. The show is nationally syndicated, first through ABC Radio Networks from 2002 to 2007 and then Salem Media Group since 2015.

Elder has written nonfiction books and a nationally syndicated column through Creators Syndicate. Elder is currently a candidate for Governor of California, running as a Republican to replace Democrat Gavin Newsom in the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election.

Early life and education

Elder was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the city's Pico-Union and South Central areas. His father Randolph (1915–2011), who was born in Athens, Georgia, was a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps during World War II and moved to California from Georgia after the war during the Second Great Migration.[2] After working as a janitor at Nabisco, Randolph Elder opened a cafe in Pico-Union around 1962.[2] Following his father's passing in 2011, Larry Elder recalled: "Gruff and blunt, my dad often intimidated my two brothers and me. But we never doubted his love or his commitment to his family."[2] In 2013, Elder and his brother Kirk accepted a Congressional Gold Medal from U.S. Representative Dana Rohrabacher on their father's behalf.[3] Larry Elder's mother Viola (née Conley, 1924–2006) was originally from Toney, Alabama. She was a clerical worker for the United States Department of War during World War II.[4]

Elder as a high school senior in 1970

An honors student who also took advanced courses at Fairfax High School, Elder graduated from Crenshaw High School in 1970 and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 1974 from Brown University. He then earned a Juris Doctor from University of Michigan Law School in 1977.[5]

Legal career

After graduation, Elder joined the Cleveland law firm Squire, Sanders & Dempsey. In 1980, he founded Laurence A. Elder and Associates, a legal executive search firm.[5] Elder stepped down from operating Elder and Associates around 1987 but continued to own the firm until 1995.[5]

Media career

Television, film and video

Elder in the 2000s

After a successful audition, Elder began co-hosting Fabric, a topic-oriented television show produced by Dennis Goulden that aired on Cleveland's PBS member station WVIZ in 1988.[6][5][7]

In 1997, Elder hosted the PBS program National Desk[8] along with fellow conservatives Fred Barnes and Laura Ingraham.[9] Elder hosted the segments Redefining Racism: Fresh Voices From Black America[8][10] and Title IX and Women in Sports: What's Wrong With This Picture, which criticized Title IX.[9]

In 2000, Elder won a Los Angeles Area Emmy Award for his KCAL-TV News special Making Waves – LAUSD. Between 2000 and 2001, Elder hosted the court series Moral Court, distributed by Warner Brothers Television.[11] In 2004, he hosted The Larry Elder Show, a syndicated talk show distributed by Warner Bros.[12][13]

In 2005, Elder created a self-financed film called Michael & Me, in which he offers a rebuttal to filmmaker Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine.[14]

In 2007, Elder was one of the rotating talk hosts auditioning for the slot vacated by the now-canceled Imus in the Morning on MSNBC.[15] However, the job went to Joe Scarborough instead.

Elder is a columnist with Creators Syndicate. His newspaper and online column are carried by Investor's Business Daily, World Net Daily, Townhall.com, Jewish World Review and FrontPage Magazine.[citation needed]

He hosts a video series published by The Epoch Times.[16]

Radio

In 1994, Elder began hosting a weekday evening talk show on Los Angeles talk radio station KABC.[17][18]

From 2002 to 2007, Elder's show was nationally syndicated by ABC Radio Networks and its news-talk network, ABC News & Talk. After Citadel Broadcasting took over most of ABC's radio operations in 2007, syndication of Elder's show was discontinued in favor of Mark Levin, and the show reverted to a local show in August of that year.[citation needed]

December 12, 2008, was his final day on KABC.[18] Elder then began a daily live podcast as well as a webcast starting in December 2009.[19] On September 27, 2010, Elder returned to KABC.[20][21]

On December 2, 2014, Elder was fired from KABC following his afternoon broadcast.[22] He was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015.[23]

On June 1, 2015, Elder joined the lineup of CRN Digital Talk Radio Networks. His program is heard from noon to 3 PM on CRN Channel 1 and is replayed from 3 to 6 PM on CRN Channel 5.[24]

In August 2015, The Larry Elder Show began national syndication through the Salem Radio Network, including Los Angeles station KRLA.[25]

Jean Guerrero, in a 2020 interview on NPR, said that Elder had told her that he had invited Stephen Miller on his radio show as a guest a total of 69 times, having been impressed with Miller after he had first called in to the show as a high school student. Miller, who cites Elder as an influence, later became a Trump administration official and the architect of Trump's immigration policies.[26]

Writing

In the late 1980s, Elder wrote op-eds for local newspapers in Cleveland.[5] In 1998, Elder began writing a nationally syndicated column through Creators Syndicate.[27] Elder wrote a weekly column for the Los Angeles Daily News until April 2012.[28]

Political positions

Elder's views are conservative[1][29] and right wing.[30] Elder is a registered Republican;[1][31] in 2021, he stated that he had voted for the Republican candidate in every presidential election since 1980 after voting for Democrat Jimmy Carter in 1976.[32] Elder labels himself a "small-l" libertarian as opposed to a member of the Libertarian Party.[1][31]

He is an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, frequently praising him on Twitter.[30][33][34] He was an early supporter of Donald Trump's 2016 candidacy for president. During his presidency, Elder characterized Trump as "god-sent" and described his presidency as a "miracle."[35] Elder was a strong influence on Stephen Miller, an influential senior adviser in the Trump administration, and communicated with him throughout the Trump presidency.[35] Elder has argued that it is unfair to blame Trump for the January 2021 attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.[32] Elder did however oppose tariffs imposed by Trump and Trump's decision to draw down U.S. troops from Afghanistan.[36]

Economic issues

In his 2000 book, The Ten Things You Can't Say In America, Elder laid out a 10-point plan to "save America". He called for abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, creating a national sales tax, reducing government by 80%, ending welfare and entitlements, abolishing the minimum wage, and eliminating corporate taxes.[37][38]

Elder opposes minimum wage laws, arguing that "The ideal minimum wage is $0.00."[39] He opposes universal basic income.[40] Elder opposes California's unpaid family leave law.[29] In his 2020 film Uncle Tom: An Oral History of the American Black Conservative, Elder criticizes the War on Poverty.[41]

On a CNN Crossfire segment in 2013 along with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Elder attacked Christie for accepting the "architecture of the welfare state" and claimed that "government took almost 50 percent of the American people's money" through mandates,[42] a claim he supported by referring to an analysis by the conservative advocacy group Americans for Tax Reform.[43] PolitiFact rated his claim "Mostly False".[43][44]

Elder has been critical of public-sector labor unions, especially the California Teachers Association.[45] He contends that some 15,000 California teachers are "incompetent"[45] and previously proposed that thousands of teachers in the state be fired.[32] He later said that he favored more charter schools and private schools instead.[32]

Statements and views on women

In August 2021, Elder came under criticism for his long history of disparaging statements about women. Elder has contended that "Women know less than men about political issues, economics, and current events"; stated that women who took part in the 2017 Women's March were obese and unattractive; scoffed at premenstrual syndrome by saying PMS stands for "Punish My Spouse", endorsing pregnancy discrimination by employers; and claimed that statistics about domestic violence against women are exaggerated to promote feminism.[46]

Elder has often denied that a gender wage gap exists.[47][48] Elder contends that employers should be allowed to discriminate in employment against women who plan to have children, and in his 2002 book he wrote that women who choose to have children are not "dedicated" to their jobs and suggested that they lacked a "commitment" to work.[49][50] Elder reiterated these views in 2021, while he ran for governor, after fellow Republican candidate Kevin Faulconer criticized Elder's views.[51]

Social issues

Elder opposes abortion,[52] calling it "murder."[29] He has argued that Roe v. Wade should be overturned,[32] calling the decision "one of the worst decisions that the Supreme Court ever handed down."[29] He believes that abortion laws should be decided at the state level.[32][29]

Elder has a history of making anti-LGBT remarks on Twitter. He has repeatedly used male pronouns when referring to transgender women, such as Playboy model Ines Rau and fellow gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner.[30]

In 2021, Elder accused California of having a "soft-on-crime ethos"; he opposes a California law that banned police from using certain chokeholds.[45] Elder opposes 2014 California Proposition 47, which reclassified as misdemeanors many lower-level drug and property crimes that had formerly been felonies, and said that if elected governor he would press for the proposition to be repealed.[45]

Science, environment, and COVID-19 pandemic

During his media career, Elder published and gave airtime to misinformation and fringe views on scientific topics, such as secondhand tobacco smoke, climate change, and COVID-19 treatments.[29]

In a 2000 book, Elder suggested that the health hazards of secondhand tobacco smoke had been exaggerated, rejecting the scientific consensus that secondhand smoke is a serious threat that caused 2.5 million deaths in the half-century before 2014.[29]

Elder's website once described climate change as a "myth"; in a 2008 interview, he called climate change a "crock," disparaged Republicans such as John McCain and George W. Bush, who acknowledged climate change, and said that global warming is not a "big peril" to planet Earth.[29] In 2021, Elder acknowledged that the climate is warming,[29] but refused to accept the overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity is the primary contributor,[32] claiming that concern about climate change is "alarmism."[32][29]

In 2021, Elder pledged to remove current statewide public health mandates for state government workers in California, such as COVID-19 vaccine requirements, face mask requirements, or regular COVID-19 testing.[32] In 2020, while denying that Donald Trump mismanaged the response to COVID-19, Elder sought to justify Trump's refusal to wear a mask in public and defended Trump's mass political rallies that he continued to hold at the height of the pandemic.[53] In 2021, he did not challenge a call-in listener to his radio show who espoused COVID-19 misinformation suggesting that COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous and part of a Bill Gates-orchestrated plot, and a page on Elder's website promoted the call-in listener's comments by saying, "You'll want to hear this physician's take on the vaccines."[29]

Elder has proposed suspending or waiving the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, contending that doing so would speed up housing construction.[45][32][29]

Political activities

Roll Call reported that Elder contemplated a possible run for the United States Senate against California Senator Barbara Boxer in 2010.[54]

2021 California gubernatorial recall election

In July 2021, Elder announced that he was running against Governor Gavin Newsom in the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election.[55] He said that he was encouraged to run by fellow conservative talk-radio figure Dennis Prager, a mentor to Elder.[29] If elected Governor, Elder pledged to replace one of California's two Democratic senators, Dianne Feinstein, with a Republican.[56]

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber initially omitted Elder's name from the list of candidates to be on the ballot, saying that he failed to submit complete tax return information, required for candidates after the recent passage of Senate Bill 27, which mandated tax return disclosure for both presidential and gubernatorial candidates in order to appear on a primary ballot (the presidential requirement was struck down by the courts). Elder sued, saying that his paperwork was properly submitted.[57][58] On July 21, 2021, Judge Laurie Earl of the Sacramento County Superior Court ordered Elder's reinstatement to the recall ballot, holding that Weber improperly disqualified Elder, who had "substantially complied" with disclosure requirements, and that the tax return requirement in Senate Bill 27 applied to "direct primary election" ballots and not special recall elections.[59][60][61][62]

After his entry, Elder has been regarded as the front-runner on the election's replacement question. He refused to participate in debates with other Republican recall candidates, such as former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, state Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, and businessowner John Cox, and has refused even to share a stage with certain other candidates at Republican Party events.[63][64][65]

The Los Angeles Times editorial board endorsed a "no" vote in the election (i.e., in favor of retaining Newsome as governor); on the replacement question, the Times endorsed Faulconer and described Elder as the worst of all recall candidates.[66]

Allegations of abuse and sexual harassment

Elder's former fiancée, Alexandra Datig, accused him of abuse. Datig, a longtime former radio producer for Elder, were engaged from 2013 until 2015. Datig said that Elder had demanded she show devotion by having "Larry's Girl" tattooed on herself and, during an argument, brandished a gun in a threatening manner.[67] After Datig's allegations became public, The Sacramento Bee editorial board and fellow candidates Kevin Faulconer and Caitlyn Jenner called for Elder to withdraw from the race.[68] Elder has denied Datig's accusations.[64]

In 2011 episodes of his radio program, Elder said that he had twice been accused of sexual harassment, denying both allegations. In one case, Elder defended himself by implying that the woman was too unattractive for him to sexually harass, saying "If you had seen her, you would know that the picture would be a complete defense. I'm just saying."[69]
