did it was an alternative way to handle the case and the black police chief said he still did it and now acts as

if he never did it? that is mind blowing i don't know how you do that with a straight face. >>host: the next caller is craig in tulsa. >>caller: i really appreciate you shocking the progressive left into reality. it is well done. i would just like to w comment on the certain parts of the press but i have come to the conclusion of all the ten commandments top break the presses masters at bearing false witness with mischaracterizations like charlottesville s the president can say something you can see it live and get the facts that then you watch the channels that make claims and i think it is destructive because a lot of americans watch that to think the president did this.

but it is destructive for if he did half the things they claim his own party would throw him out i just wanted to comment on w that. >> i will give you a recent example i was on fox and friends on monday and asked about the resolution of the legislation cory booker is introducing for reparations and i said the same thing that i just now said to peter too long ago, the handful of whites with a connection to slavery, the complexity interracial marriage, how long ago it was that parallel the relocation camps i get home that day open my cell phone , media matters headline fox news guest says families are

better off as slaves. how you do that is beyond me. i said because of the welfare state a kid during slave really would be more likely to be born under our biological mother and father than today headline says black families are berti on - - better off as slaves. that is beyond me. that t is why when donald trump talks about fake news it resonates. >>host: how can those in tulsa listen to you? be mac on my website social media, twitter, instagram and facebook. >>host: do you broadcast on the internet? >> my home they show is here in los angeles 350 markets , every major market between

three and six local time. salem communications i just signed another three year deal you are stuck with me through 2022. >>host: you are here on the campus of university of southern california ground zero for the recent college a admission scanda scandal. >> a lot of people apparently cheated to get their kids into school and it shows you a lot of things are right. a bigger scandal i would argue is race-based admission here in california we have a ballot initiative to prevent colleges from using race as a criteria for admission. but they're still doing it and studies that show the more you lower the standards to achieve racial diversity the greater the chance that benefits will

drop out of school so you are increasing putting them on a faster track than they candl handle putting them in aaa ball major league they drop out just fortunately and leave eith debt and then angry with no plans to succeed. the bigger scandal are the race-based admissions where qualified people are not admitted some asian families are suing harvard for the very same thing. >>host: ohio you are on book tv. >> i would like to comment that i appreciate you on fox news. want to go back to what you said earlier if you get married before you are 20, i don't necessarily thank you should have a kid after 20 but

i do feel i have a daughter who is 20 years old just got nmarried, they are moved away, doing good and moving up in the world i do feel you are right 100 percent stay in school, graduate and take advantage of a secondary school. if not you don't go anywhere. it's free you have to drive a little bit but it's free. basically i want to let you know you are doing a good job i feel there is a lot to talk about what we should straighten out for the american people because we don't understand the philosophy of washington dc. >>host: we believe that there. thank you for calling.

>> i just watch tiger woods when the masters program haven't seen the ratings but they will be through the roof a person of color, a scandal and you might recall not a single one of the women was black nobody cares. golf is a sport played by whites nobody cares. this is america. celebrates excellence not the race of the person. nobody cares. racism is not significant in america anymore you are in control of your tv dial for you don't have to watch them be through will the roof because nobody cares connect did he win big? mimicked by one stroke. >>host: palmdale california.

>>caller: i appreciate your conviction and your passion i do disagree with some of it but what should the minimum age - - minimum wage be and why? >> zero.zero the government has no business to interject itself into an exchange with a willing supplier of labor and a willing purchaser. new york times had an editorial in 1987 the ideal minimum wage was zero.zero now since they have done a 180 on the issue i don't know what happened since and two of the most celebrated left-wing economists jonathan gruber and paul krugman jonathan wrote recently about the damage done

of minimum wage and living wages and also disparaging about the fate - - family paid medical leave and said it will price people with unskilled labor out of the market the same thing that milton friedman said. paul krugman has done a 180 had you do a 180 on minimum wage is beyond me but they have as has done the new york times the famous study doing dealing with the minimum wage one of the co-authors just died apparently by suicide the study showed new york new jersey one raise the minimum wage that gives an ideal chance to determine the state that didn't raise the minimum wage would do better surprise it concluded even though one state raise the minimum wage it jumpstarted economic

activity in the state that the opposite of what most felt and now they still quote this study but if they tried to replicate it theyy couldn't because they literally asked were you hiring employers but ifpl you follow up with the payroll records it turns out the state suffered relative to the state that did not that is what most economists would have predicted. there is a series of articles written by people like jim powell from the cato institute eho said because of the minimum wage 500,000 black people lost jobs they otherwise would have had the person most likely to be employed was a black teenager because they would sell out their time for less money now you have a phenomenon

50 percent living in the inner-city during the summers don't have jobs partly because of the stupid minimum wage aco former boss the coffee shop off of union square just close down they said because of the 15-dollar minimum wage but yet aoc wants to impose that for the rest of thehe country when well evident stop the socialist from being socialist? >>host: the next call from las vegas. >>caller:as you spend a lot of time throwing out anecdotes and references to studies this is a technique that you throw as much as you can out there

to helpou prevent people from doing a shallow analysis. >> is or something i have said you have an objection to let's deal with i this. >> there is a number of things it's hard to know. >> just give me one thing that is wrong and we will deal with it. >>caller: use ofle anecdotal evidence with statistical analysis is a good place to start. >> give me an example have i made a false statement or a false point. >>caller: yes. absolutely what you do is settle. with the study of police pullovers for blacks and whites you changed in the middle of your argument about the rate at which crimes are committed. you forgot to mention.

>>host: we got the point you talk about the fact and you did say that blacks were committing crimes at a higher level than whites i think that is what he is referred to talking about pulling over. >> and i will give you another example. when michael brown was shot and killed by the police officer there was a study on the police departmentar that said it was racist because 57 percent of the population of ferguson was black but 85 percent of those stopped were black. the ferguson pd is almost all white. if that is proof then why is it new york even more even though police department is diverse yet 25 percent of the

population of new york is black 55 percent of those stopped at a traffic stop is black so why isn't the nypd more institutionally racist they had ferguson? because you can't do it that way but underlying behavior. >>host: georgia we are listening go ahead. >>caller: i don't know what to say. please don't cut me off. i definitely want to hear what he has to say because he seems very serious on the political levelin i hope they are listening to his opinion.

i'm just a citizen in a small town. you caught my attention and now i'm debating now if i do have ae question for you i have issues to deal with myself but i am very very interested in your values and at this moment what i could say is i don't understand the zero.zero minimum wage because there is so many differences throughout the world everywhere is different. i hope our government is paying attention to also the middle class and the small business world. we are affected each and every

one of us by each other. so be careful to what you say to others. >>host:: kevin thank you for calling neck i'm not sure the question. >>host: i think he was chatting. >> not really i didn't understand the point. >>host: next collar is from maryland. e>>caller: i like what i am hearing from you. if you are as intelligent as you appear i hope president trump is listening and will put you in our government. if not may you be elected. you are brave and very intelligent and articulate. thank you for your opinion.

>> thank you for that. my phone rings it is the president i will answer that but it hasn't rolled - - wrong. it may he has been dogged by the mueller investigations and stay number one the media hate is gets 90 percent of the news is negative and he is still standing there.ul he didn't need this people say he ran to make money. are you kidding? every year he has lost a net worth people are not patronizing his properties because they don't like what he stands for but he did it because he thought he could improve then country and that's what he is trying to do. >>host: what is it with donald trump that seems to emphasize the polarization? >> social media used in ways

nobody has ever done it before he has 50000 followers and his tweets set the table used to be set by the front page of the new york times but not anymore now people will respond he has taken on the media in ways nobody else ever has this whole obsession with take news that the media on notice we are watching and with good reason. for years they have been awful to republicans barbarara bush said the media is so against us the washington post never in the history editorial in favor of a republican president only one newspaper out of all t of them supported donald trump in the country for go he has done this against an army of opposition unlike what i've never seen any president deal with.

>>host: have you ever cringed when you see a tweet? >> not necessarily. but it's white noise. most of them have nothing to do with anything he is most quoted on the most fundamental things he never came close to saying also good people on both sides is quoted often and it's amazing you cannot get that right but yet you're calling him saying he has 10000 lines? >>host: very quickly west virginia we have one minute left. >>caller: with slavery i said the exact same thing it's over 310ar years under english rule. then we have the revolutionary war people were threatened by

the 1812 then the civil war so this is a time that the american people changed it to free thehe slaves and all reality. that people don't want to look at it that way. >> also was the democratic party was the party of slavery republicans elected lincoln democrats founded the clan. >>host: you ever had people on your show you disagree with? >> i do that guy on msnbc he came on my show but did not stay very long. i also had chris matthews on a few years ago. he had a roughin time but it's on youtube. you can listen to it. is not on video but it is on

radio. >>host: last hour talking with author and radio talkshow host larry elders thank you for helping us cover the l.a. times book fair this year. >> thank you good
