Larry Elder: podcast appearances and interviews

Laurence Allen Elder, born on April 27, 1952, is an American conservative political commentator and talk radio host. He is known for hosting The Larry Elder Show, which is based in California. The show first aired as a local program on Los Angeles radio station KABC in 1994 and continued until 2008. After a hiatus, the show resumed on KABC from 2010 to 2014. It was nationally syndicated first through ABC Radio Networks from 2002 to 2007 and later through Salem Media Group from 2015 to 2022. Elder has established connections with The Epoch Times, a newspaper associated with the religious movement Falun Gong. While primarily a conservative, he identifies as a small libertarian, advocating for limited government based on his belief that less government governs best. Elder is also a former attorney and has authored nonfiction books and a nationally syndicated column through Creators Syndicate. Among his publications is As Goes California: My Mission to Rescue the Golden State and Save the Nation. In 2021, he entered the political arena as a Republican candidate in the recall election of California's Democratic governor Gavin Newsom. Although the recall was not successful, Elder placed first among the replacement candidates. In 2023, he announced a bid for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election but withdrew from the race in October.
