Comedian Bill Murray insists that the sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live” is still funny, despite many viewers voicing their disagreement lately. The “Ghostbusters” star, once a regular on the show, discussed his thoughts on a recent episode of Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. “People always give me a hard time about, ‘Oh, the original show was so great and it’s lousy now,’” Murray said, per Variety. “And I say, ‘No, it’s not.’ The show that’s on now, they do stuff that’s just as good as anybody ever did, all the time.” The actor also said he would “certainly” come back to help celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary next year, the outlet noted. “I told ‘em I’d like to host one this year. So maybe if I get organized,” said Murray. “I think I did it two other times when I was there. I’d like to try it one more time. It might be the last time to try it.” The “What About Bob?” actor also revealed who he thought the best host of the show was. “There’s only one that stands above all others,” Murray said. “It was Ray Charles. [He] completely buries every other entertainer I’ve ever met or worked with or read about.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE He went on, “Ray Charles knew all his lines cold. Ray Charles came in and played solo, he played with The Raelettes, he played with his scepter and he played with the ‘Saturday Night Live’ orchestra. And he may have played with his quintet as well. And he killed and murdered every single one of [his performances].” “At the end of that show, they play that song and saxophones playing and you’re like ‘Hey man I had a great week,’” Murray said. “You’re up there on the stage and you’re waving at people—I did not want to stand on that stage. I had no business being on that stage with Ray Charles.” The show debuted in 1975 and has helped launch the careers of dozens of comedians. During the lead-up to the 2024 election, “SNL” was criticized for making jokes about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.  The show also scheduled Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for a last-minute appearance the weekend before the election, which backfired when NBC was forced to give Trump equal airtime after a Sunday night football game.  Sunday Night Football regularly attracts more than 20 million viewers, while the ratings show that “SNL” recently attracted 5.6 million viewers for its season premiere.

In previous articles, we looked closely at two of the three main pillars to President-elect Trump’s supply-side economic growth agenda: Increasing energy production and cutting taxes. Now for the third and final pillar, regulatory reform. As anyone who’s ever taken a decent Principles of Economics course knows, prices are determined by the “market forces” of supply and demand. Demand represents consumers’ preferences over various goods, while supply represents the “costs of production” businesses face in producing those goods. Economic growth happens over time when forces begin to shift the supply curve to the right. I hammer this point home with my students and make them repeat the slogan, “The recipe for economic growth is to push the supply curve to the right.” Government regulations imposed on businesses and their products, however, act just like taxes in that they raise the cost of production, pushing the supply curve for any given product “up and to the left,” which raises price and reduces quantity. Likewise, government actions that ease or remove those regulations have the opposite effect, pushing supply curves “down and to the right,” reducing price, raising quantity, and increasing economic growth. Supply-side economists like Art Laffer tout the benefits of Trump’s big 2017 tax cut package, and certainly those tax cuts paid off handsomely in Trump’s first term economy (pre-Covid). Renewed tax cuts will have a similar effect in Trump’s second term. But according to Trump himself, business leaders told him repeatedly that his regulatory reforms were an even more powerful tool for boosting productivity and growth. Deregulation Regulations are like taxes in that they impose costs on businesses, but burdensome regulations are worse than taxes because in most cases the people get little to nothing in return. At least with taxes the government gets revenue that it can ostensibly use for infrastructure, defense, and other public goods. According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s annual report on the federal regulatory burden, “Ten Thousand Commandments,” as of 2024, federal regulations impose costs north of $2.1 trillion on the U.S. economy. Government paperwork takes up 10.34 billion hours of work time, and the government’s regulation log — the federal register — checks in at well over 89,000 pages, very close to its all-time high at the end of the Obama years. Regulations are like barnacles on a ship: each one is small, seemingly insignificant, and invisible to the casual observer. Over time, however, regulations accumulate and greatly impair the ship’s hydrodynamic efficiency. It’s well past time to give the hull of this economy a massive scrubbing. Trump’s first term featured a big push to reduce the regulatory burden on U.S. businesses. He famously targeted a 2:1 regulatory reform ratio — for every new rule enacted, two existing regs would be eliminated. This valiant effort bore some fruit. Trump had a few notable deregulation successes early in his first term. Many of these were simply Congressional vetoes of impending Obama-era regulation, but Trump also made strides in streamlining the permitting process for infrastructure projects. Trump’s efforts pushed the federal register to a modern low of 61,308 pages, and Trump’s first term saw far fewer new regulatory measures as compared with recent administrations. Ultimately, Trump’s first-term deregulatory program was a mixed bag, as many deregulation efforts were stymied by “deep state” resistance or held up in the courts. Trump knows the power of deregulation and has pledged to boost the regulatory reform ratio to 10:1 in the second term — axing ten rules for each new one adopted. This is ambitious to be sure, but much can be done by simply peeling off regulations that were piled on by the Biden administration. The incoming Trump administration has already taken concrete steps to sharpen their focus on government regulation reform and addressing waste with the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Congress will also play a big role in this process, as will Trump’s solid deregulation-minded cabinet picks like Lee Zeldin (EPA), Chris Wright (Energy), and Doug Burgum (Interior). These men know their economics and are fully aware that burdensome regulations stifle economic growth like nothing else. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Deregulatory efforts in the second Trump Administration will also be hugely abetted by the Supreme Court’s recent ruling repealing so-called “Chevron deference” which will significantly pare back government agencies’ rule-making powers and really grease the skids for deregulation. Tax cuts, regulatory easing, and booming energy production — each of these policy levers has, by itself, the potential to restore strong growth in output, jobs, and personal incomes. If president Trump’s next administration can hit the supply-side trifecta, he will almost certainly be able to deliver on J.D. Vance’s promise of the “greatest economic comeback in American history.” Donald Trump may well go down in history as the leader who made “supply side economics” a household word and showed us all the wonderful possibilities when policymakers who understand basic economics have the guts to ignore the tut-tutting experts and wreck the uniparty consensus that tolerates economic stagnation. Full speed ahead with the supply-side reform package. We should do everything we can to help Donald Trump push supply curves to the right and Make America (economically) Great Again. * * * RELATED: Supply-Side Trumponomics, Part One: ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ RELATED: Supply-Side Trumponomics, Part Two: Tax Cuts * * * Tyler Watts is a professor of economics at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan.

A doctor celebrated as “America’s best-known practitioner of youth gender medicine” is being sued for medical negligence by a former patient — a young girl who underwent a gender transition and now feels she was deeply betrayed.  Twenty-year-old Kaya Clementine Breen accuses Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy of fast-tracking her attempted gender transition, including puberty blockers, hormones, and a double mastectomy, when she was a young teenager.  Her lawyers argue that Olson-Kennedy, the therapist she referred Breen to, the surgeon who removed Breen’s breasts, and other medical professionals are all guilty of medical negligence for rushing Breen through procedures that have deeply and negatively impacted her future.  “Clementine is a female who suffered from a complex, multi-faceted array of mental health symptoms as a child and adolescent,” the complaint states. “She is also a survivor of multiple instances of sexual abuse as a child and adolescent, something that was never explored, addressed, or discussed by Defendants in the course of their purported treatment.” The lawsuit continues: “Her presentation of symptoms and concerns included, among other things, anxiety, depression, autism, undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), potential bipolarism, as has been suggested by one of her psychiatrists, ongoing confusion regarding her gender, and eventually psychosis (including audio and visual hallucinations), panic attacks, and paranoia. Her family also has a lengthy history of mental health issues. She needed psychotherapy to evaluate, assess, and treat her complex co-morbid mental health symptoms.” She didn’t get these things. “Instead, she was fast-tracked onto the conveyor belt of irreversibly damaging puberty blockers (age 12), cross-sex hormones (age 13), and “gender-affirming” surgery (age 14).”  “Clementine’s providers deliberately, grossly, and recklessly breached the standard of care in this case as discussed above, by among other things, failing to adequately assess and treat Clementine’s complex array of mental health symptoms and prior trauma before prescribing irreversible and life-altering medications and performing surgery,” the complaint states. “Instead, the Defendants coerced Clementine and her parents with the threat of suicide, presentation of false information, and concealment of full information, into an ill-advised experimental course of chemical/surgical imitation sex change treatment that was utterly unsupported by any reliable medical research,” it continues. “This so-called ‘treatment’ of Clementine by her providers represents a despicable, failed medical experiment and a knowing, deliberate, and gross breach of the standard of care that was substantially certain to cause serious harm.” The lawsuit is one of a number of cases brought by detransitioners in recent years. This one is particularly significant, given that Olson-Kennedy leads the Center for Transyouth at Los Angeles Children’s Hospital and is widely considered the most notable youth gender medicine clinician in the world.  Last month, Olson-Kennedy revealed to the New York Times that she purposefully stopped the publication of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study into puberty blockers and their effects on American children. Olson-Kennedy had hoped the study would show that puberty blockers improve children’s mental health, and her study found no evidence that this was the case.  “I do not want our work to be weaponized,” she told the Times. “It has to be exactly on point, clear and concise. And that takes time.” Notes from Olson-Kennedy’s meetings with Breen indicate that Olson-Kennedy immediately started Breen on the transition route during their first visit, The Economist reports. Breen had not yet met with a gender therapist nor seen a psychologist about her gender dysphoria, and Olson-Kennedy had not performed a mental-health evaluation, the publication reports.  But three months later, Breen was able to get puberty blockers. Less than a year later, according to The Economist, Olson-Kennedy prescribed her testosterone. And in May 2019, 14-year-old Breen underwent a double mastectomy, removing her breasts forever.  Olson-Kennedy reportedly told Breen’s parents that she was suicidal and would kill herself if they did not agree to cross-sex hormone therapy, the lawsuit alleges.  “At that time, Clementine had never had any thoughts of suicide, and she certainly had never expressed anything along those lines to Dr. Olson-Kenned,” the lawsuit says. “Dr. Olson-Kennedy went even further…by telling them that if they did not agree to cross-sex hormone therapy, Clementine would commit suicide.”  Olson-Kennedy also wrote in a letter to Breen’s surgeon that Breen had “endorsed a male gender identity since childhood,” The Economist reports — a statement that contradicted Olson-Kennedy’s own records, designed to indicate that Breen had long identified as a man and probably wouldn’t regret her surgery. Olson-Kennedy did not respond to requests for comment for this story. News of the lawsuit comes the same week that the United States Supreme Court heard arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a case involving Tennessee’s law banning these irreversible transgender procedures for children.
