THE LARS LARSON SHOW                         Honestly Provocative.

Lars LarsonLars got his start in radio at age 16 spinning records (remember 45s?) and reading news, sports and weather (twice an hour) on KTIL (The Mighty 1590) from a little cinderblock building on the edge of a cow pasture in Tillamook, Oregon (75 miles West of Portland, Oregon).

 

36 years later, he’s only moved 75 miles east to Portland and light years to “the Right”. Emmy and Peabody award winner Lars Larson brings nearly four decades of experience as a radio and television journalist to the microphone for six hours of the best talk radio in America. Six hours of daily prep keep The Lars Larson Show on top of the news and top-of-mind for listeners across the country.

 

Along the way, Lars has worked for more than a dozen radio stations and five television stations. Today, Lars holds down the fort from 12pm – 4pm on Radio Northwest flagship FM NEWS 101 KXL. His local talk show airs on seventeen stations in the Pacific Northwest (and earns him the biggest local talk radio audience in the region).

HEARD ON LARS LARSON

Follow The Law? Dr. Death Doesn't Feel Like It


To a lot of Oregonians, he’s Governor John Kitzhaber.  He signs himself MD although I understand his medical license is not current.  But I always think of him as Dr. Death, since he keeps coming up with killer ideas for his state. Like Doctor Assisted Suicide.  Now he has another one that’s guaranteed to end in the murderous, painful death of innocent citizens.  Strangely enough Kitzhaber doesn't believe in the Death Penalty.  So he has refused to enforce the laws on the books that require the execution of convicted killers.  The doc apparently thinks his personal feelings trump state laws passed not once, but twice by Oregon voters.  And Now Kitzhaber wants the legislature to get rid of the death penalty altogether.  My friend, district attorney Josh Marquis, one of this country’s acknowledged experts on the death penalty points out that the best criminal research on hand, says every time you execute a killer, you save the lives of at least people who would have been murdered.  The death penalty deters.   The studies also say each dead bad guy could save as many as 20 murders.  But when it comes to a choice of saving lives…or saving the lives of killers and the governor’s feelings…we know which one is more important…don’t we?

Constitutional Scammer?


If you care about your rights and liberties, this President should scare you to death.  He claims to be a constitutional scholar, yet he famously described it as a document of negative liberties.  The only thing negative about it is that it tells the government what it CANT do to citizens. This is a President who believes that government can force citizens into things like health care, over their objections and punish them if they don’t comply.  And today, the President plans to announce restrictions on rights protected by the 2nd amendment to the constitution.  Now the constitution assumes that CONGRESS will write laws that set the limits on the time, place and manner of constitutional freedoms…stop you from shouting fire in a crowded theater, for example.  But this President says he doesn't need Congress…because the people’s representatives refuse to pass the laws he demands.  So he’s going to use executive orders…like the edicts of a dictator…to usurp the rights of the citizens he supposedly serves.  This President swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution…and he and his family are protected by guns…but he wants to deny that protection to you and me.  I hope that Texas congressman makes good on his promise to introduce articles of impeachment when Barack Obama crosses that constitutional line, today.

Stand Up For Your Rights!


Today I found a fantastic letter written by Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller to Vice President Joe Biden regarding proposed gun control measures. This Sheriff is standing his ground, and saying he refuses to stand by and let the residents of his county become criminals for exercising their Second Amendment rights.

Sheriff Mueller joined me today on the NW Show to talk more about what led him to write that letter. I commend the Sheriff for taking a stand for what is right. I'd like to encourage each and every one of you to contact your local sheriff and ask them if they will stand with Sheriff Mueller and defend your rights!

State of Repair?


I’m not holding my breath for Governor Kitzhaber to take MY suggestions for his state of the state address this week but here goes.  The governor needs to fix the Public employee retirement system now…not a year from now.  This system is bankrupting local government as they spend more and more to fill the pensions of the government elite while citizens pay more taxes and get less service.  The Governor needs to address the destructive behavior of union long shore thugs…who threaten to drive away the business that keeps the Port of Portland one of the biggest economic drivers in the region.  Kitzhaber appoints the board.  Kitzhaber needs to drop his crazy plan to release murderers, rapists and robbers from prison for a tiny savings to the state budget…and a huge cost to residents of the state.  He needs to abandon his plans for a sales tax.  Government has plenty of your money.  And Schools need a fix…not with more cash…but a system that punishes mediocrity among teachers who fail about 40 percent of the state’s school kids. Oh, and by the way, no silly unconstitutional infringements on gun rights.  

GMO-regon?


Fear of technology is crippling jobs and industry in Oregon. The latest example come from Ashland where a vote has been scheduled to outlaw GMO crops. Those are crops where the seed has been improved by science. Virtually everything you eat tonight for dinner genetically modified.  But that process too centuries and it was inexact and its dangerous.  Making better seed through science on the other hand improves the nutrition of crops, cuts down on their need for water, and pesticides and herbicides.  Its all about feeding this country and the world. Yet voters may outlaw it. Just as voters have outlawed the greenest form of power in Oregon, nuclear plants. And they’ve sought to stop natural gas…drilling for it or storing it…importing or exporting it. all around us, small vocal luddite minorities want to stop technology in its tracks…and then folks wonder why jobs and average income suffer in the state of Oregon

Paying For The President's Prerogative


President Obama insists that America’s federal government does not have a spending problem.  Lets consider the evidence that proves the President is seriously wrong.   A brand new report today from the non partisan congressional budget office says America will have a deficit of more than a trillion dollars this year.  That’s a thousand billion dollars.  And that comes after the President got his 80 billion dollars in new taxes on the rich…and after he bragged about cutting his budget…and after social security payroll taxes went up 160 billion dollars this year on middle class taxpayers.  After all of that…tax hikes and budget cuts, America is just as far into the red as it was last year.  And the four years before that.  and the President has told house speaker John Boehner…we don’t have a spending problem.  Barack Obama is whistling past the future fiscal graveyard of the world economic superpower known as the United States of America.  And we’re all going to pay the price.
