Podcast appearances and mentions of Lars Larson

Camas resident Anthony Teso pushes back on Lars Larson's read of the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling, arguing the 6-3 vote masked a 5-4 constitutional split that nearly undid a guarantee settled in 1898. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-larson-mourns-a-ruling-that-changed-nothing-and-misses-the-story-that-matters/ #BirthrightCitizenship #FourteenthAmendment #SupremeCourt #ConstitutionalLaw #ClarkCounty #Opinion #Politics #WashingtonState

Lars Larson calls the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling a threat to Social Security, Medicare, and the meaning of American citizenship itself — warning that birthright tourism will explode and reshape the country within decades. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-a-thousand-little-anchor-babies-are-popping-out-of-illegal-aliens-every-day-in-america/ #BirthrightCitizenship #Immigration #SupremeCourt #LarsLarson #Opinion #SocialSecurity #Medicare #NorthwestNonsense #ClarkCountyToday

The Supreme Court ruled states can ban transgender athletes from girls sports — and Lars Larson is demanding Oregon and Washington act. Twenty-seven states already have protections in place. Larson argues both states actively shield trans athletes while female competitors lose records and, in some cases, suffer injuries. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-will-oregon-and-washington-now-ban-the-trans-from-girls-sports/ #LarsonNorthwest #GirlsSports #TransAthletes #SupremeCourt #WashingtonState #Oregon #WomensSports #SportsFairness #Opinion #PacificNorthwest

Lars Larson calls Chief Justice John Roberts the deciding vote in a ruling he says allows presidential election ballots to be counted weeks after Election Day — a decision four conservative justices dissented from. Larson argues 14 states exploit the post-deadline window and points to the Los Angeles mayor's race as a recent example. His challenge to Congress: pass the SAVE Act or risk what he calls single-party rule. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-scotus-pond-scum-decides-late-election-ballots-do-count/ #Opinion #SCOTUS #SAVEAct #ElectionIntegrity #LarsLarson #LateBallots #Congress #VoterID #NorthwestNonsense #Politics

Lars Larson connects a thwarted drone-and-sniper plot targeting the UFC event on the White House South Lawn to Democrats' 76-day push to defund the Department of Homeland Security — a shutdown he argues compromised national security without achieving a single stated goal. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-democrats-did-their-best-to-put-america-at-risk/ #LarsLarson #NorthwestNonsense #HomelandSecurity #WhiteHouse #NationalSecurity #DHS #Politics #Opinion #ClarkCountyToday

Lars Larson argues the U.S. Supreme Court should strike down grace periods that allow ballots to arrive weeks after election day. Washington state counts votes up to three weeks late — and Larson says that erodes public confidence in results. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-scotus-should-strike-down-tardy-ballots/ #Opinion #SCOTUS #ElectionIntegrity #WashingtonState #BallotsDeadline #VotingLaws #LarsLarson #NorthwestNonsense

Longview Superintendent Karen Cloninger now faces criminal charges — including witness tampering and obstruction — after school officials allegedly concealed reports of student rapes for months. Lars Larson argues mandatory reporting laws are routinely ignored across the Northwest, and parents everywhere should demand accountability now. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-rape-coverup-means-parents-must-demand-a-new-commitment-from-schools/ #Opinion #SchoolSafety #MandatoryReporting #Longview #WashingtonState #ChildSafety #LarsLarson #PacificNorthwest #Accountability

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek blamed Trump's Iran policy after voters rejected Measure 120 — a new transportation tax — by 83 to 17, including a majority of Democrats. Lars Larson argues Kotek ignored ODOT mismanagement on the Abernathy Bridge, Rose Quarter, and Interstate Bridge instead of taking responsibility. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-tone-deaf-tina-kotek-ignores-oregon-voters-tuesday-message/ #Opinion #Oregon #TinaKotek #Measure120 #ODOT #Transportation #LarsLarson #NorthwestNonsense #Politics #PacificNorthwest

Lars Larson argues the IBR tolling plan would drive 50,000 daily I-5 commuters onto I-205, while a $15 billion price tag leaves $10 billion unaccounted for. Five hundred million dollars spent over 21 years — and no shovels in the ground. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-ibr-creates-50000-road-refugees/ #IBR #I5Bridge #ColumbiaRiver #Tolling #Transportation #PacificNorthwest #ClarkCounty #Opinion #Infrastructure #Politics

Lars Larson calls out the hypocrisy of liberals who benefit from Trump's tax cuts while despising the former president. He challenges progressives to put their money where their mouth is and voluntarily pay the higher rates Kamala Harris proposed — including her 35% corporate tax hike and unprecedented capital gains taxes. The average taxpayer saved thousands under current rates, but would Trump-haters actually forgo those benefits? Lars thinks not, exposing the double standards that define today's Democrat Party. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-if-youre-a-trump-hating-liberal-feel-free-to-pay-the-old-higher-tax-rates-today/ #LarsLarson #TaxPolicy #TrumpTaxCuts #PoliticalHypocrisy #KamalaHarris #CapitalGains #TaxDay #Opinion #Politics #Conservative

Lars Larson warns that Washington's "millionaires tax" will inevitably expand to hit middle-class earners, following the same pattern as federal income tax over the past century. The state is already hiring 300 tax collectors starting July 1st, even though revenue won't arrive until 2029, building infrastructure to eventually tax incomes under a million dollars. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-cue-the-revenuers/ #WashingtonTax #IncomeTax #LarsLarson #Opinion #Politics #Taxpayers #Olympia #Revenue #Constitutional

Tony Teso dismantles Lars Larson's voter fraud narrative, explaining that Oregon and Washington are contesting federal jurisdiction over voter roll data — not refusing to clean their rolls. The Camas resident argues the 372,000 Colorado figure represents routine maintenance, not fraud, and challenges the logic that links ballot measure outcomes to electoral fraud claims. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-oregon-and-washington-arent-refusing-to-clean-their-rolls-theyre-contesting-federal-jurisdiction-and-timing/ #VoterRolls #Politics #Oregon #Washington #ElectoralIntegrity #NVRA #DOJ #BallotMeasures #TicketSplitting

Lars Larson exposes how Oregon and Washington officials are fighting the Department of Justice in court to prevent cleanup of voter registration rolls before major elections. While Colorado was forced to remove 372,000 ineligible voters this week, Pacific Northwest Democrats seem determined to block similar scrutiny. Larson questions why states would resist rooting out fraudulent registrations unless they have something to hide. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-both-states-know-they-have-seriously-flawed-voter-registration/ #VoterIntegrity #Oregon #Washington #ElectionFraud #DOJ #LarsLarson #Politics #Opinion #Democracy #VoterRolls

Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs blocks a public vote on a new income tax, while spending escalates 116% over a decade. Lars Larson critiques Democrats' strategy in denying citizens input on major fiscal decisions. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-defending-democracy-by-denying-it/ #Opinion #PacificNorthwest #Washington #Oregon #IncomeTax #GovernmentSpending #LarsLarson #Democrats

The episode explores historic precedent, reactions, and shifting U.S. policy on birthright citizenship. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-anchor-babies/ #Opinion #anchorbabies #citizenship #SupremeCourt #LarsLarson #NorthwestNonsense #PacificNorthwest

Lars Larson confronts Joe Kent's decision to step down from America's National Counterterrorism Center citing opposition to Trump's military action against Iran. Larson questions whether the move and Kent's stated reasoning reflect a shift on U.S. security. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-americas-newest-anti-war-activist-joe-kent/ #JoeKent #LarsLarson #Counterterrorism #Iran #Opinion #NationalSecurity #HomelandSecurity #PoliticalCommentary #ClarkCounty #Northwest

Howard Schultz, who built Starbucks from a tiny Seattle coffee shop into more than 40,000 locations worldwide, says he's leaving the Pacific Northwest amid Washington's new millionaires tax and soaring state budgets. Lars Larson questions what happens when Governors Kotek and Ferguson tax high earners out of Washington and Oregon. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-starbucks-founder-flees-the-new-nw-tax-hell/ #LarsLarson #PacificNorthwest #WashingtonTaxes #OregonPolitics #Starbucks #MillionairesTax #Opinion #Politics

Two high earners living together might avoid a new Washington income tax, but if they are married the combined income could trigger tens of thousands of dollars in taxes. In this opinion column, Lars Larson argues that the structure of the proposed Washington state income tax effectively creates a marriage penalty and reflects what he sees as broader spending priorities among lawmakers in Olympia. Larson outlines how the tax threshold works for individuals versus married couples and why critics believe it could push high-income residents to consider leaving the state. Hear the full breakdown of the debate over Washington's millionaire income tax and the marriage penalty argument at https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-democrat-party-penalizes-marriage-in-washington/ #WashingtonState #IncomeTax #MarriagePenalty #Olympia #LarsLarson #Politics #Opinion
