Larry Elder Hammers Chris Matthews in Agonizing Interview: ‘I’m Sorry For Cutting You Off the Way You Cut Your Guests Off’

Larry Elder Blasts Chris MatthewsThis time the tables were turned on MSNBC host Chris Matthews when he appeared as a guest Tuesday on Larry Elder’s radio show to promote his new book, “Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero.” Elder, however, wasn‘t impressed by Matthews’ apparent beatification of Kennedy in the book. At one point during the interview, Elder asked if Matthews thinks his job as a journalist is to “help Obama succeed,” and later interrupted the Hardball host in the same manner he cuts his own guests off everyday.

The Hollywood Reporter brings us some of Elders thoughts when the radio host wrote about the interview on his blog Thursday:

“You know things didn’t go well when, a few minutes after the interview concludes, Matthews’ booker emails my producer,” Elder wrote Thursday.

The email read: “I wish you would’ve let me know that Larry was planning on attacking Chris. Chris is always up for a good, healthy debate, but that was really not professional or cool.”

The exchange between Elder and Matthews started something like this:

“Chris, first do you still feel as a journalist, it is your job to help Obama succeed?” Elder asked.

To which Matthews replied: ”Well, I certainly feel it is my job to help any new president succeed and I said that. And I think it was true when I wrote it for Bush in 2000 with hopes that he would do well until he made some decisions I couldn’t live with and when that comes with Obama, I will break with him.”

He added, “So far he [Obama] has done what I think he should, but he hasn’t been the leader I think he should be but he’s made the decisions I think I would make.”

“Do you consider yourself a journalist?” Elder pried.

“Yeah, I’m a journalist. I’m a columnist. I’m a commentator.”

Elder qualified “No, no a journalist – you think you’re an objective down-the-middle journalist?”

“No, I’m not down the middle. I’m slightly to the left,” Matthews stated.

“Slightly to the left?” mocked Elder.

“I’d say 40-yard-line.”

Elder then critiqued Matthews for saying Republicans want people “who don’t have insurance to die on the gurney.”

While Matthews attempted to respond, Elder interrupted: “I’m sorry for cutting you off the way you cut your guests off.”

Below is the audio of the interview. A transcript follows: 

But that was just the kick-off. Things got even more heated when Elder delved into Kennedy’s “heroism in World War II,“ which lead to the movie ”PT 109.”

Below, HR summarizes the contentious exchange that followed:

“Okay, let’s talk about PT 109,” says Elder. “You don’t at all discuss how the boat got into trouble in the first place. A lot of historians feel that it was his own irresponsible handling of PT 109 that caused the boat to get into trouble.”

“That would be a conservative or right-wing point of view. A person who was prejudiced against Kennedy,” Matthews says. He tries to expand, but Elder interrupts.

“You called me right wing, so I want to deal with what you now just said,” says Elder, before citing a historian who called Kennedy’s handling of PT 109  “the most screwed up PT boat action of World War II.”

“What is this a game? Is this a game show?” Matthews says.

Next, when Elder cites historians critical of Kennedy’s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Matthews says: “What is the purpose of this conversation?”

“The purpose right now is to show that you are glossing over Kennedy. You are airbrushing the bad things,” Elder answers.

“Do I have any role in this show, or do I just sit here and listen to your rap?” Matthews says.

“If you wanna hang up, go ahead and hang up, Chris,” Elder says.

A few times during the interview, Elder thinks Matthews has already hung up on him. “Are you there?” he asks on two separate occasions.

Elder seems most upset that Matthews dedicated so little space to the Kennedy tax cuts, which Elder called his “singular economic achievement.”

“You spend about a half-page on the tax cuts, why is that. You still there?”

“I’m trying to be polite, and I come on your show because you invited me,” Matthews says.

But the two can’t even agree on that.

“No, no, no, no. You called us and you asked to come on. I didn’t invite you,” Elder says.

“How can you write a book about Kennedy and spend a half a page on the tax cuts? How can you do that? You still there?” Elder says.

“This is an embarrassment,” Matthews says.  “This is why this country is being torn apart, with this kind of hatred.”

“It’s called a disagreement,” Elder says. “You perceive it as hatred, just like you perceive that the Republicans want people to die on gurneys, and they don’t care about illegal aliens, and all the other silly things that you’ve said. That’s hatred. That’s hatred, Chris.”

It seems odd that Matthews was so defensive about the interview, when he many of his own guests are subjected to far worse lines of questioning and interruptions from the Hardball host on any given day.

      Maybe they’re all snakes, or secretly worship some snake cult underground, where they’re forced to speak like a snake? I mean the oldest and longest running cults worshiped snakes, or Gods typically represented as serpents or snakes. Who knows…

      Eh, in all honesty I don’t know, I don’t hear that lisp from all of them, but thinking about it now, a good number do have a slight lisp. Strange coincidence?

      The main thing is that while Larry did invite him obviously to attack him, Chris had it coming to him, and Larry was respectful and direct in his questions. Chris was evasive and defensive as usual, trying to bypass answering anything. Much like Beckel does on The Five, or whenever he shows up on Hannity.

      It’s sad that Chris has to use the term Hatred to divert the conversation, and I don’t know whether he really believes it, or if he’s just using it to be diffusive and turn the tables on Elder. Larry handled it well, but not strong enough. Gotta love those tactics. Sometimes I wonder if some liberals, Chris included, hate life and everything in it, and assume that everyone else does to, much like those awful commercials that celebrate infidelity and unhappy marriages as though it’s an absolute.

We were able to call it what it actually is-justification for immorality, before the sexual revolution swept over us in the wake of irrational feminism.

      I still see the political game that is being contested on this planet as a sort of sporting event. Like a cross between MMA and nitro motor cycle drag races. And we get analysis from real pros, on one side and partisan hacks on the other……which polarizes the whole affair, making it nearly impossible to ascertain the score, or sometimes even the rules of engagement.
      Luckily, for some, the outcome is moot.

      The Blaze loves to post stories about one pundit “getting” another pundit. Ever wonder why? Notice there’s never a story about Glenn Beck embarrassing another pundit in an interview. Ever wonder why? Apparently, the Blaze and Mr. Beck like to deflect their readers’ attention away from the fact that our Favorite Mormon Prophet does not use his facts, his truth, and his courage to put these liberal commentators in their places. Perhaps it is PTSD from the time he was slapped around by the ladies on the View that keeps Glenn from trying it again. Don’t worry Glenn, even though you’re afraid to debate anyone face to face, we’re still behind you. We just never knew one could stack Courage that high.

      Not only is he stupid and partisan, he’s a liar to boot. I don‘t know how many times I’ve heard him be an obozo booster. As far as his book on Kennedy is concerned, I have/will not read it, because it will be tripe. I wonder how many pages he spent talking about John and Booy talking about MLK, how he was to be watched and “bugged” as a subversive? How much did he talk about the Kennedy infidelity problem? Did he mention that JFK tried to invade Cuba? Hmmmm, I wonder if that had anything to due with the missle crisis? Wrie-tapping, did not Kennedy have the recording stuff placed in the WH that Nixon got screwed over with?
      Mathews is a jerk and an azz and I’m sure if I were the one he constantly cut off, denigreated and insulted in a face to face, I’d have to punch him in the face, but that’s just me.

      Forty yard line?! Why, that’s pretty much about where most of the elite & progressive so-called Republicans are … maybe even as far left as the 35 yard line! And you wonder why millions upon millions of us no longer read a newspaper or watch lame-stream media’s so-called “news” programs? The ONLY time I turn on a lame-stream media channel is when a tornado is going through the state I live in. I even get my weather online (NOAA). Only thing I use my television for is to watch old movies and old sitcoms that I pick up with my antenna — you know, the programs/movies where I’m not insulted by obnoxious sex, nudity, bed scenes, close-up’s of french kissing, filthy language, blasphemy toward God, and so forth. I get 100% of my news from credible online news sources that have lots of video clips to back up their reports.

      You, Mr. Matthews, are nothing more than a puppet for non-conservative politicians, and a promoter of ideologies which have elements of both communism and fascism. You may be a U.S. citizen, but you are not a patriot. Every time you open your mouth, you denigrate our Republic and Constitution. So, don’t insult our intelligence out here by deigning to call yourself a journalist.

      Mathews could not respond to the black interviewer the way he would have to a white interviewer. Mathews is so full of anti-American hate and White Guilt like the entire US Ministry of Lies. Mathews represents and is typical of the entire US News Ministry of Propaganda. Nazi Leader Joseph Goebbels is the inventor of modern day Propaganda and actually was proud to admit it was Propaganda. The entire US Ministry of Network Propaganda pretend they are the followers of icon Robert R. Morrow when in fact their real icon is journalist inventor Goebbels. America has become a National Socialist nation and the US News Network Ministry proves it.

Seems the likes of spit-mouth chrissy can‘t handle ’regular’ questions after writing a book. I mean….he is upset about answering questions about his OWN statements in his OWN book. Spit-mouth grills and grills with lie after lie to any Republican on his show. ( you know, gurneys and the like). Always trying to show-them-up. Interrupting, and spitting out the wha-zoo. He is one complete loser. Just cause Mr. Elder was asking him some questions about his book, spit-mouth said Elder was being hateful. ( that’s what the lying, stupid libs always do when the opposition is hitting-the-nail-on-the-head) Of course, Mr. Elder came back with the best answer ever.

      Trap door mouth? I‘m guessing that you’re referring to Matthews’ mouth as a toilet bowl trap. Into his mouth goes fecal waste, and out of his mouth comes fecal waste.

Elder is nothing more than a failed lawyer – like Ingraham, Coulter and the others in their horse-face coterie.

    But I do with Elder supporting gay marriage, abortion, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.

      I knew a man who served in the Pacific during WWII and the story then was that Kennedy mishandled his boat and was negligent. This man was a submariner and familiar with Japanese warships and said there is no way a destroyer could sneak up on a PT boat and ram it unless there was a dereliction of duty. I used to argue the point, but then realized how noisy a destroyer of the time was and conceded that even I could have avoided the ramming. Kennedy had his virtues, but do not insult real sailors with this illogical story.

      I see you have graduated from the Chris Matthews school of ad hominems. Yes, the NY Times did run that editorial, but that is also common knowledge in any legit historical examination of the topic.Former President Eisenhower even commented on how weak JFK was on Foreign Policy as a result of the Vienna Summit. Historical writer Walter Coffey agrees. I am sure you are calling the DNC to check his voter registration status to determine his qualifications as a historian. You will also find this in the book, Khrushchev’s Cold War: The Inside Story of an American Adversary. There are countless others.
      Now you accuse Elder of being obnoxious. Next time you watch Hardball, take off your rose colored glasses and pay attention.
      I do find it fascinating that you demonize Elder, while admitting you agree with him on abortion, gay marriage and amnesty. You clearly are an intellectually dishonest schmuck, aren’t you? Clearly Matthews’ “scholarship” is historical revisionism at best.

And, that’s not a racist statement, that’s a fact. Liberals cannot believe that a black individual could ever be Conservative, it’s just not in the DNA of the black community to believe that a real black person could ever side with the Constitution loving white community. The vast majority of the black community still believe to this day that it was the Democrats that passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. SAD, SAD fact.
      I think Herman Cain would make a great President, 1000 times better than the present one. But, the stupid mindless unattentive Americans who pay more attention to DWTS, Big Brother, The Talk, Survivor, or the daily Soap Operas, go mindlessly through their day soaking up every lie and distorted truth the Media puts out there.

Only the willfully ignorant would so readily sop up the sewage spewing from Fox News and talk radio and internet rodeo clowns who claim to see miracle geese.

      I‘d call you angry but you’re not smart enough to be angry. You can only be offended. The least bit of diversion from the status quo send you into a lunatic’s panic, inspiring you to even deeper levels of spiritual depravity. And so you lash out with lies and threats – none of which the vast majority of America believes or cares about. The only people who believe you are people exactly like you, and that is a small minority.

      The Blaze is the perfect example – one long strand of baseless accusations and hysterical reactions from failed and phony patriots who are too old and too resentful to navigate life as it is and as it will be. You‘re not happy unless everybody lives the same stunted and mundane life you’ve create for yourself,

Listen to your candidates – a religious zealot living on farm subsidies, a brain dead country club cowboy who can’t remember three things in a row, a sexual harasser who has “things twirling in his head,” a serial philanderer and disgraced career politician, and a cult member who’s taken both sides of every issue and used to fire people for a living.

    I’ve ALWAYS loved Larry Elder and his program. He is a Libertarian, and doesn’t back down at all.

    And I remember driving my son to school one day. We took a route that went past a billboard that had his picture on it, advertising KABC here in Los Angeles. My son at that time was 12, and was in the middle of a conversation with me when he stopped talking, eyes growing big. He turned to me and said ‘Dad! I didn’t know Mr. Elder was BLACK!’ I asked him why he said that, and his response was that is hard, equally, on all his guests. The fact that he was black and didn’t back down, but was very vocal about other blacks that had the ‘victocrat’ mentality struck a powerful chord with my son.

    Black or white, yellow or green, Mr. Elder is by far one of the most honest radio hosts on the air today. Kudos to you for standing your ground with Chris, Larry….. kudos.

      What Mathews and the rest of them say/do everyday is despicable. Mathews calls himself a journalist, which by definition, is someone that gives an unbiased and balanced approach to news. Mathews and the rest of them don’t even come close to that. They are nothing more than “news propaganda organizers,”serving a leftist agenda only.
