Larry Elder
Larry Elder personifies the phrase “We’ve Got a Country to Save”
The “Sage from South Central” is back on the radio and TV!
Larry is well known for over 20 years as a radio talk show host on KABC in Los Angeles. He joined Salem’s KRLA, AM 870 The Answer in 2016, and was later syndicated across the country by Salem Radio Network.
Larry took some time away from radio/TV to run a highly successful candidacy during the Gavin Newsom re-call election in 2021. While the voters did not re-call the governor that time, Elder proved he was a viable candidate garnering the most votes of the 50 candidates running to replace Newsom. From that experience, Elder decided to run for President of the United States in the 2024 election. He dropped out of that race in October 2023, and threw his support behind former president Donald Trump.
Larry began to focus on his successful podcast “Larry Elder – We’ve Got a Country to Save” which is now reaching 500,000 downloads per episode. Larry continues with that podcast, but now can be heard across the country in the PM drive time slot on the west coast. He’s heard on plenty of radio stations, but is also carried live on the Salem News Channel.
“By popular demand the watchman returns to his post,” commented Larry when asked about his return to radio. “Larry is one of a rare breed who actually grew in popularity and influence AFTER he departed the radio,” said Phil Boyce, Senior VP of Spoken Word for Salem Media Group. “Now we get to hear his sage words of wisdom daily on radio stations across the country, but also on Salem News Channel.”
Larry holds a Bachelor’s degree from Brown University, and a Law degree from the University of Michigan. He was discovered as a potential radio host by Dennis Prager who had Larry on his radio show on KABC, where Larry later joined, and was eventually syndicated by the ABC Radio Network.
