T-Mobile pull advertising from Tucker Carlson's Fox News show.
He's got to be among the most thoughtful people in the media today, Tucker Carlson.
Why?
Because he attacked Black Lives Matter movement.
Really?
Whew.
It's really something.
So, I assume T-Mobile and Disney We'll advertise on shows that declare all whites are racist or let's defund the police or police are animals.
Have any corporations removed their advertising from such shows?
It's an open question.
I don't know the answer.
If I had to bet my house, I would bet that they haven't.
You cannot be too radical.
You cannot be too left.
But if you attack the left, then you have trouble.
I want to salute Tucker Carlson for the courage and intelligence of his commentaries.
This isn't the first-time advertisers.
This is from The Wrap.
This isn't the first time advertisers have pulled out of Tucker Carlson tonight in light of incendiary comments.
See, we make incendiary comments.
They don't.
I listen to them.
What is incendiary?
See, they don't debate.
They label.
At least 26 advertisers, including Red Lobster, Lexus, Pfizer, IHOP, Smile, Direct Club, Nerd Wallet, and Ancestry dropped their ads from his show after Carlson said immigrants made America poorer and dirtier.
I'd like to see the context of that.
In related news, Carlson told, but again, there's nothing you could say.
Would they continue to advertise on a show that said, no more police departments?
Defund police?
Did you see the monuments, all these monuments torn down?
They represent Western civilization.
Churchill's monuments defaced in London by the left.
These are nothings compared to that man.
Nothings.
Midgets.
Not in the small people sense.
We know this is only temporary.
We know it can't go on like this forever.
We have to keep focusing on the future and get through this thing day by day.
But when it ends, the sun will come out.
Jobs will start up again.
The traffic jam we used to hate will come back.
Thank God for cars.
So many things we took for granted are going to be so special.
We'll get through this because we have each other.
And we have this radio station.
We are the answer.
We are the answer.
How can these people out there in the streets not know, according to the CDC, that police killings of blacks have dramatically declined over the last 45 years by almost 75%.
How can you not know that?
How can you not know of a peer-reviewed study in a publication put out by the National Association of Sciences in which every single police shooting in the year 2015 was examined?
And they could not find any evidence whatsoever of disproportionate deadly force used against blacks.
And then, of course, there's a smaller study by the Harvard Economist I told you about.
Not only did he not find that they used disproportionate deadly force against blacks, but that they were more hesitant, more reluctant to use deadly force against blacks than against whites.
More whites are murdered by blacks than blacks are murdered by whites.
How can you not know that?
Now again, as I said many times, most murder is same-race murder.
But to the extent that there are interracial black-white homicides every year, about 750, how can you not know that blacks kill 500 whites, even though blacks are 13% of the population, and whites kill 250 blacks, even though they're around 61% of the population?
How can you not know that?
You're out in the streets making all these assertions.
What you're doing is making things worse.
You're creating an image of the police department that's going to make people not want to join it, and you're causing the so-called Ferguson effect that Rahm Emanuel talked about, where he said the police in Chicago have rolled themselves up into a fetal position for fear of being accused of being racist.
Well done, Black Lives Matter.

If you have the economic security and the physical security, because don't forget, like this is- We're dealing with right now, too.

So today was a huge win for the president, but more importantly, this is a huge win for America, for every single class.
Charles Blow writes the same column every week, or every twice a week, in the New York Times.
Another America-hating columnist at the New York Times.
I used to quote him.
I made a list of his adjectives.
It ran to two pages.
The adjectives he's used in his columns just about Donald Trump.
It's an adjective-filled rant every time.
So, here is his latest column.
Here, you ought to know, this is because the man is a leftist.
So, I am here to clarify life for you.
I hope you agree with me, but infinitely more important is I hope you will see the divide In all its clarity.
We conservatives believe, we traditionalists, we who believe in the American value system, we believe that the primary problem is one of values.
That in a free society, human beings are primarily those responsible for their lives.
There's a lot of luck in life.
There is unfairness in life.
All of that is true.
We try to help the unlucky.
That should be a given.
But generally speaking, we believe that values are the issue.
The left, since Marx, has believed that money is the issue.
So listen to Charles Blow, a neo-Marxist at the New York Times.
Ready?
Here it is at the end of his column.
Poverty is the problem.
Wealth inequality is the problem.
He really believes that if you gave enough money to all the people who commit violent crimes, they would stop committing violent crimes.
They would lead upright lives.
That's what the left believes, that the issue is that they just don't have a nice apartment or a nice home.
That's all they need.
They're fools.
Because they never have explained to me why are there so many rich criminals.
If criminality is rooted in poverty, why are there rich criminals?
Okay, anyway, poverty is the problem.
Wealth inequality is the problem.
All the things that lead to and attend poverty and wealth inequality are the problem.
There you go.
So you don't need a moral education.
You certainly don't need God.
You certainly don't need character development.
You don't need two parents.
You don't need a father.
You need to have wealth inequality.
Addressed.
Leftism not only makes you bad, it makes you stupid.
But no one wants to talk about that.
That's hilarious.
No one wants to talk about redistribution of wealth.
An amazing comment.
I would sooner argue very few people want to talk about.
The redistribution of values.
Because to truly tackle these issues would deal in some way with wealth redistribution, and the mere mention of that concept throws the comfortable and the rich into a tizzy.
What does that exactly mean?
We would confiscate money from the wealthy and give it to the poor.
Okay, and then what?
Then they become fine people?
My grandfather was as poor as anybody that Charles Blow knows or can think of even.
Never committed a crime.
Do you know when I first realized poverty causes crime was a lie?
And then I later learned that, in fact, Crime causes poverty.
Any crime-infested area is going to become poor.
Who wants to make a business there?
Who wants to even go there?
But I learned it, I realized it at a very early age, I think either in high school or college, when I thought of my grandfather.
And grandmother, for that matter.
And how poor they were.
My father was their only source of support.
And I realized, when I asked the question, gee, why doesn't my grandfather rob?
Why doesn't he rape?
And it became so absurd to me to think, oh, because he's poor.
He's more likely to engage in violent crime that I realized that the connection was minimal.
My grandfather didn't commit any violent crimes because he believed that it was wrong.
And he believed it was wrong.
I assume.
I never discussed it with him.
He died when I was very young.
I assume that he was so deeply influenced by his religion, in his case, Orthodox Judaism, that the thought that, you know, well, I'm pretty poor, I think I'll steal.
I don't even think it occurred to him.
I don't think it was exactly a battle in his life.
I continue with Charles M. Blow in the New York Times.
Oh, so we'll ban some chokeholds.
We'll collect some new records and disclose others.
We'll put constraints on officers requiring more training and exposing them to litigation.
But just remember, these are not necessarily rogue officers.
This you have to hear.
They are instruments of the system and manifestations of society.
They are violent to black people because America is violent to black people.
They oppress because America oppresses.
The police didn't give birth to American violence and inhumanity.
America's violence and inhumanity gave birth to them.
That's what readers in the New York Times read every day.

America has been doing some soul-searching lately.
Perhaps you noticed.
We're examining what's right with America and what can be made better.
No other country does this kind of introspection better than us.

Every life has the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
That includes our law enforcement as well as every skin color.

The U.S.-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult content model, provided data for multiple studies on COVID-19 co-authored by its chief executive, so far has failed to adequately explain its data or methodology.
Harsanyi points out partisans have been rooting against hydroxychloroquine for months now.
There's really no other way to describe the manic reaction to a drug that has been widely though anecdotally said to have therapeutic value against coronavirus.
Politicians have blocked attempts to study the drug.
The number of shoddy pieces of journalism surrounding hydroxychloroquine, he writes, is just remarkable.
A couple of weeks ago, Biden compared taking hydroxychloroquine to drinking bleach.
Even though millions of Americans take hydroxychloroquine every day to survive.
Well, now we know, according to National Review, that thousands of hospitals around the world relied on surgesphere data to make determinations about treatment and studies.
The World Health Organization, the organization I'm assured we must continue funding, halted clinical trials.
Right?
Well, guess what the World Health Organization has now done?
They've reversed course.
They've resumed studies.
We very well may learn that hydroxychloroquine is helpful in mitigating the damage that coronavirus does.
And if that happens and we've delayed the studies, we can probably thank knee-jerk anti-Trumpism for the delays.

A chilling headline ran over Easter weekend from CNN. Louisville police officers to record license plate numbers of Easter weekend churchgoers.
Over the course of this pandemic, I've argued that churches should follow generally applicable shelter-in-place orders, that these orders and guidelines do not violate religious liberty.
Indeed, we ought to comply with him out of love of neighbor.
But if policies single out churches and religious groups, it becomes an entirely different issue, an unconstitutional violation of religious liberty.
Over the course of the last several weeks, some government officials have crossed the line.
In the case of Louisville, it took a restraining order from United States District Court Judge Justin Walker to curtail Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher's attempt to prevent even drive-in church gatherings.
The judge said, quote, And it is beyond all reason unconstitutional.
Consider this.
In America, in 2020, comes the threat that they're taking names and they're taking numbers.
It's extremely important that all American Christians take note and in a hurry.
I'm Albert Mueller.

Do you know that over a thousand people in the medical profession signed a statement that it was okay from a COVID or from a health standpoint to demonstrate and protest?
I want you to understand the corruption of the sciences that has taken place, but we still have an issue of people being allowed to go to church.
This is truly an upside-down world into which we have entered.
Probably the most active organization fighting these things in court is the Alliance Defending Freedom.
And I have David Cortman, Senior Counsel with the ADF. Hello, David.
How are you?
Good to be on.
I'm glad you feel that way.
You ever go on a show that you were not glad to be on?
I have been on a couple of those.
Oh, okay, fine.
Fair enough.
What is the current state of allowance for church attendance?
You know, it's remarkable in different areas of the country.
You have certain states who are abiding by the Constitution and deciding on a neutral basis if we're letting people to congregate, whether they're secular or religious, we'll do it in an even-handed fashion.
But there are several states, like Nevada, that have chosen to treat churches and religious organizations worse.
So you can go to a casino with hundreds or thousands of your best friends.
But you can't go to church with 50 other people.
How do they answer that question?
Yeah, I mean, basically there's a couple problems.
So people are familiar with these executive orders all over the country.
They start by deciding on an ad hoc basis what's essential and what's not essential.
And rather than putting church and spiritual things and worship in the essential category, they put it in the non-essential category.
And so then they justify it by it's not a necessity for people.
And I think that's something the government shouldn't be doing.
So in effect, at least in California, I would imagine, churches are on a par with nail salons.
Sometimes.
Sometimes nail salons are treated better than churches.
And that's another thing that's remarkable.
If you look at the way they categorize different types of uses, it seems like churches are always on the bottom end of the list.
And so they'll reopen, as people know they've done in phases.
Well, they'll decide that, for example, we've had several cases where they're open bars before they're open churches or nail salons or, as I mentioned, casinos or things like that.
And so the way – I'm not sure how they get to the conclusion about what's necessary or not, but they're certainly putting religious worship.
I want to ask you...
An uncomfortable question.
Why don't more clergy rebel?
I think the reason is that we're taught to follow what our leaders say.
The problem is when you go too far, and not only do you violate what churches may consider to be God's rights and commands, but you violate our own, like the Constitution being one.
And so, you know, churches are being as patient as they could be.
They've been waiting months now.
But more and more you're seeing churches start to say, look, you know, we are commanded to worship together.
We've been doing this for months now.
You're letting people go out in throngs to protest and to go do other things, which are also protected by the Constitution.
But you shouldn't be picking and choosing winners and losers when it comes to the First Amendment.
So have you, has the ADF gone to court on this matter?
We have.
We've gone to court in many, many cases.
We've filed and or send demand letters in over 15 cases already.
We have them pending in Nevada.
We just won one in Oregon.
We won in Kansas, Mississippi.
So we've been filing cases for the last several months because it seems to be the only way to get the attention of some of the government officials.
When you say you've won in Oregon, what does that mean?
Well, what that means is that we filed a lawsuit there because churches were limited to 25 people, but yet you can go to a restaurant with no capacity limit, or a gym, or a workout class, or whatever have you.
And so we filed a lawsuit on behalf of a small church that said, look, we want to meet with more than 25 people.
We filed a lawsuit, and then in response, the state turned around and amended their restrictions and allowed churches to meet on the same basis as others.
So we've also had court victories where the court issued an opinion saying, like the state of Kansas, it's unconstitutional the way you're limiting churches and actually ordering the state to open churches back up.
So we've had many different kinds.
All right.
I want to ask a couple more questions.
ADF, I ask you to help them, by the way.

A call is going out now for the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department.
The president of the city council said this when asked about what to do in the case of a break-in.
Yes, I mean, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors.
And I know, and myself too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality.
There's no doubt that our cities and communities need restoration, including greater peaceful engagement between police and citizens.
Yet the idea that wanting protection is privilege is not sound.
In fact, it's absurd and won't restore anything.
Police who act unjustly are accountable to the rule of law and must be.
But there is no need to qualify what a society without police will look like.
More harm will surely be done.
May coming days bring greater safety and meaningful restoration.

Okay, my friends.
I just want to ask a couple of questions here and then go to your calls.
Got a lot to talk to you about.
David Cortman is senior counsel at a group that I... I have great respect for Alliance Defending Freedom.
You know my view, folks.
Good people are divided among three groups.
Those who fight, those who help the fighters, and those who do nothing.
Those who do nothing is always the largest group.
Those who help are as important as those who do the fighting.
And I think, how do people get to your website and help you out?
And they can get all the information on all of these cases that are going on and all the other cases across the country that we're...
ADFlegal.org.
Okay, final question.
I live in California.
What is the story in the biggest state with regard to churches?
California, like other states, has not been religion-friendly.
There have been several suits up and down the entire state, so that's still a work in progress.
And one of the things that we do is we look at whatever state is not treating religious freedom like it should, regardless of what faith you are.
And so California is in the midst of legal battles and probably will continue to be so, because they don't seem to be responding as they should to abide by religious freedom principles.
Okay, let me just say, because a lot of clergy listen to my show.
I'm such a big ally of theirs.
I don't understand why priests, ministers, and rabbis do not make this announcement.
We are opening up next Saturday or next Sunday for services.
Nobody has to come.
If you feel that you are vulnerable to COVID or just uncomfortable with the idea, please do not come.
But we are opening up.
And if we are arrested, so be it.
I don't understand, I truly just don't understand why rabbis, priests, and ministers don't make that announcement.
And there have been some, there was one state, I believe it was Minnesota, that many of the states, in fact, hundreds of the states' churches, got together and sent a letter to the governor and basically said, look, you know, we're trying to do our best here, but we're going to be meeting this Sunday.
And they got together and worked it out.
And so, you know, people have different comfort levels.
Some of them file a lawsuit.
Some of them go ahead and open.
Some of them, you know, reach out.
But I agree with you.
I think there's something that has to be done because I think the authority that's been grabbed by some of our state leaders is really quite remarkable during this time.
Well, keep up the great work.
You folks are vital to this country.
Well, thanks for having me on.

It doesn't mean none have done it.
I'm just saying I don't know.
Anyway, courage is the rarest of the human traits, as you all know.
I've said that all of my life.
But if you're religious and you don't have courage, what the hell is the good of your religiosity?
And I mean it.
It's not a put-down.
I don't understand it.
If religion doesn't give you courage, what's its use?
Do you fear God or do you fear Newsome?
To me, it's not like a real tough puzzle.
You know, this isn't Nazi Germany where we want Christian clergy to tell people to hide Jews and risk their lives.
You're not risking your life going to synagogue or church, my friends.
And if you think you're risking your life for health reasons, I was talking about governmental reasons not risking your life.
If you are afraid, then don't go.
Okay?
Don't go.
And I mean it.
It's not a put-down.
There are people who shouldn't go.
Whether it's age or pre-existing conditions, a compromised immune system, I get it.
But the great majority of people at synagogue or church don't have that issue.
But it's a real good question, isn't it?
What is the good of your religiosity if it doesn't give you courage?
If you're more scared of Gavin Newsom than the King of Kings, what is your religion about?

There's a police officer who wrote something on the website lawofficer.com.
Travis Yates, America, we are leaving.
This is the hardest thing I have ever written.
I grew up in a law enforcement family.
My father worked his way up the rank to captain.
At the 4th Smith, Arkansas Police Department.
As a kid, I remember going with him on Friday to pick up his check, and I was in awe of these superheroes he worked around.
They were funny and fun to be around, men and women of all races, all with the same mission to make the community safer.
My dad sacrificed a lot, and so did my late mother.
Whether it was the week-long surveillance or wiretap or chasing drug runners across the county, country actually, he gave it all for my family and worked plenty of extra details to never let our family be without.
Some would call that privilege.
But where I grew up, it was called hard work.
The kids at school thought it was cool.
What my dad did, and while he sometimes asked me if anyone gave me a hard time, they never did.
There was a respect among all, even the kids in shop class.

I'm talking to my friend Dinesh D'Souza.

It's called United States of Socialism.
Who's behind it?
Why it's evil?
How to stop it.
Young people seem always to be the easy marks for this kind of...
Marks, no pun intended.
Easy marks for this kind of thinking.
That's true.
I also think that young people will say the Scandinavian model works, but they don't know what the Scandinavian model is.
So the Scandinavian countries, for example, are capitalist in wealth creation.
They're socialist in wealth distribution, but they're very careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
And so you have low corporate tax rates, about 20%, same as in America.
You have no minimum wage in most Scandinavian countries.
They have no wealth tax, no inheritance tax.
You can hire and fire people for any reason.
Regulations are less than in this country.
Dinesh, I just have to hit pause for a second.
Everything you've just said is stunning.
I mean, the idea that they have low corporate tax rates, low wealth tax, I mean...
You would never dream that in a country that people think of as socialist, that that would be the case.
Bernie Sanders is not advertising that.
No, and in fact, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren want to impose financial transaction taxes on Wall Street.
Now, there's no Scandinavian country that goes near this.
The second part of it is they say, look, we can have a generous welfare state, but here's the point.
Everybody has to pay for it.
Not just the rich.
We're not going to go after the billionaires.
The basic idea is if we have a 50% tax rate and you make $60,000 a year, give us 30.
So in other words, they tax the middle class.

Hello.
Mr. Prager, it's an honor to be on with you.
Thank you.
Well, sir, I just had a comment and a question.
I've noticed that the large churches in America and across the world have grown increasingly apolitical, and they refuse to comment on political issues like Black Lives Matter or the government's restriction of our freedom to worship, and I was...
I had my own thoughts as to why this has happened, but I was curious as to hear yours.
Well, I'm curious to hear yours.
People hear mine all the time.
Go ahead.
Well, sir, my wife and I lead a small group at our church, and we were discussing Black Lives Matter and how unbiblical it is, and they're essentially black supremacists.
And we were told that we weren't allowed to talk about that by our leaders and that we needed to just focus on the gospel.
I can't quite articulate it, but that's the message that continues to come up, is that we have to just focus on what unites us, and that's the gospel, and we shouldn't be talking about these controversial things.
And it just feels robotic.
I don't know where that's come from or why the church is afraid to speak.
Yes, that's right.

A chilling headline ran over Easter weekend from CNN. Louisville police officers to record license plate numbers of Easter weekend churchgoers.
Over the course of this pandemic, I've argued that churches should follow generally applicable shelter-in-place orders, that these orders and guidelines do not violate religious liberty, Indeed, we ought to comply with him out of love of neighbor.
But if policies single out churches and religious groups, it becomes an entirely different issue, an unconstitutional violation of religious liberty.
Over the course of the last several weeks, some government officials have crossed the line.
In the case of Louisville, it took a restraining order from United States District Court Judge Justin Walker to curtail Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer's attempt to prevent even drive-in church gatherings.
The judge said, quote, the mayor's decision is stunning and it is beyond all reason unconstitutional.

Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
One of the recurring themes of my life has been to explain that everything the left touches, it destroys.
I used to say ruins.
I was understating the case.
It destroys.
It is a pure force of destruction.
We have built a beautiful society because it contains flawed people.
It has flaws.
But we have built something special in the United States of America, and the left is destroying it before your eyes.
There are blocks in Seattle right now that are run by Antifa, which is a communist organization, just with a different name.
These are truly awful human beings.
Who acknowledge that they wish to wreck the civilization.
I mean, this is not my interpretation.
They acknowledge it.
Every civilization produces people who are bored, angry, and nihilistic.
We have more than our fair share in the post-religion, post-patriotism society in which we live.
And Seattle is governed by the left, and so that's fine.
Can you imagine if a right-wing group said, we are taking over a central area of Seattle, and we will make the rules here?
Can you imagine that?
The uproar that would take place to forcefully shut it down and arrest the people?
But the left runs, I mean, it's Washington State, especially Seattle, not Spokane.
When I tell you that they destroy everything, it's very sad because sports was like the last place where you could go and you could have a chance to leave the political, to just root for the home team.
But that's been ruined and people write to me Lifelong football fans.
They don't know how they're going to go to a football game.
And I don't blame them.
Let me address this notion here.
I can't stand lies.
Including lies that people believe.
Not everybody who tells a lie is a liar.
Oddly enough.
Because they may well believe it.
It's not disrespectful to the flag or the national anthem when you don't stand for it.
Isn't the announcement at any baseball or football or hockey or basketball, ladies and gentlemen, please rise, take off your hats, and join us in the national anthem, or please rise for the national anthem for our flag and the national anthem, or something to that effect, right?
So if you don't rise for it, You have contempt for it.
I don't care what's in your heart.
This is, oh, I love the flag, I just won't stand for it.
I don't give a damn.
Actions are everything.
If you won't stand when you're asked, please stand for the flag, and you deliberately kneel, then you are showing contempt for the flag.
Whether you mean to or not is of no consequence.
No consequence whatsoever.
We live in a stupid age because so many people went to college and I mean that literally.
College produces fools and cowards.
Cowards teach you how to be a coward.
You get a BA in cowardice.
Get an MA in cowardice.
You get a PhD in cowardice.
Cowards make cowards.
Roger Goodell is a coward.
He's the head of the NFL. I don't know how you go to an NFL game after this announcement.
Originally it was, we want our teams to ask the players to please stand for the National Anthem.
What a demand to make!
Oh my God!
Oh, poor things!
They, in their narcissism masquerading, or in the guise of altruism, oh, I, Colin Kaepernick, I bleed so deeply for my race that I will simply not do what everyone else does in honoring the flag.
Oh, but I love the flag.
I just won't stand for it.
Why do you pick then to make your statement?
I don't want to go to a sporting event to be told that I'm a racist pig.
Okay?
It has an effect on my enjoyment of the game.
And folks, I don't know how you root for these people.
You racist pigs who paid $250 to come to this football game, you are a racist scumbag.
But I want you to cheer me and support me while I won't stand for the flag.
That's what they're saying.
Get it?
Tell me in any way whatsoever that I have misstated what you're being told.
You are a racist pig, you white piece of crap.
And spend a lot of money so I could make a ton of money.
And then cheer for me when I run for a first down.
Okay, I personally would find that hard to do.
Here is Roger Goodell, the face of cowardice in American sports.
Systematic.
We, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.
We, the National Football League, believe.
Oh.
personally protest with you and want to be part of the much-needed change in this country without black players there would be no National Football League and the By the way, let me just add, without fans, there's no football league either.
I just thought I'd throw that in.
Go ahead.
And the protests around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality, and oppression of black players, coaches, fans, and staff.
Wait, did he say that?
Oppression of players?
And coaches?
Did he say that?
Of the centuries of silence, inequality, and oppression of black players, coaches, fans, and staff.
Really?
Black players and coaches on fans and staff are oppressed?
You see how they whore out their words, the vocabulary of the left?
They rape words.
That's what they do.
It's like the girls who line up at the microphones when I speak at colleges to tell me they're oppressed because they're a female.
Basically, black football players, like white football players, have it so good, they don't even know what oppression means.
And I mean that.
By the way, I don't think most whites do.
I don't think most non-football players do.
Because people in America are not oppressed.
They're oppressed by the circumstances of their life, not by the society.
We are listening.
I am listening.
And I will be reaching out to players who have raised their voices.
And others on how we can improve and go forward for a better and more united NFL family.
If people stopped watching football games, it would take a couple of years, and I feel bad for you because it's a beautiful thing to love sports.
But if people just stopped attending and certainly stopped watching on TV, let's see if you really don't need the fans.
I just don't know why any fan would continue to be a fan after being told, you are a racist piece of crap.
I just don't get it.
Doesn't dignity alone prevent you from cheering, whether it's Goodell or any of the players?
I won't stand for the flag.
You're a piece of crap.
But please watch me and cheer.
Cool!
That is what we call cool, man.
That would be really something if people fought back.
When people are not fighters.
I'm curious if you're a football or basketball fan.
Watch what you think of what I said.
1-8 Prager 776. This is Owen Strand for townhall.com.
A call is going out now for the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department.
The president of the city council said this when asked about what to do in the case of a break-in.
Yes, I mean, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors.
And I know, and myself too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm is done.
There's no doubt that our cities and communities need restoration, including greater peaceful engagement between police and citizens.
Yet the idea that wanting protection is privilege is not sound.
In fact, it's absurd and won't restore anything.
Police who act unjustly are accountable to the rule of law and must be.
But there is no need to qualify what a society without police will look like.
More harm will surely be done.
May coming days bring greater safety and meaningful restoration.
I'm Owen Strand.

How can these people out there in the streets not know, according to the CDC, that police killings of blacks have dramatically declined over the last 45 years?
By almost 75%.
How can you not know that?
How can you not know of a peer-reviewed study in a publication put out by the National Association of Sciences in which every single police shooting in the year 2015 was examined and they could not find any evidence whatsoever of disproportionate deadly force used against blacks?
And then, of course, there's a smaller study by the Harvard economists I told you about.
Not only did he not find that they use disproportionate deadly force against blacks, but that they were more hesitant, more reluctant to use deadly force against blacks than against whites.
More whites are murdered by blacks than blacks are murdered by whites.
How can you not know that?
Now, again, as I said many times, most murder is same-race murder.
But to the extent that there are interracial black-white homicides every year, about 750, How can you not know that blacks kill 500 whites, even though blacks are 13% of the population, and whites kill 250 blacks, even though they're around 61% of the population?
How can you not know that?
You're out in the streets making all these assertions.
What you're doing is making things worse.
You're creating an image of the police department that's going to make people not want to join it, and you're causing the so-called Ferguson effect that Rahm Emanuel talked about.
Where he said the police in Chicago have rolled themselves up into a fetal position for fear of being accused of being racist.
Well done, Black Lives Matter.

I didn't call them a coward, sir.
Sir, sir, I didn't call them a coward.
I called Roger Goodell a coward.
I called college professors a coward.
Okay, well, I'm speaking about him as well.
You think it took courage for Roger Goodell to say the country is racist?
He didn't say the country is racist.
Yes, he did, sir.
No, no, that's, sir.
No, you might have inferred that.
I'm going to play it, and then we'll see.
I'm playing it, and we'll see if you apologize.
I'm going to play Goodell, because you don't know what you're talking about.
In particular, black people in our country.
First, my most is the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and all the families who have endured police brutality.
We, the National Football League, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of black people.
Okay, systematic oppression of black people.
It's actually worse than racism.
We were wrong for not listening to that.
I did not hear what you said.
You said the country was racist.
I did not hear that.
So wait, the country systematically oppresses blacks, but it's not racist?
Listen, sir.
You're old enough to know better than what you're trying to...
I know about some of your listeners may be ignorant, but you know good and well this country is systematically racist to a point.
You know that.
So why are you trying to act like you don't know that?
You're not a child.
You know better.
It is the greatest lie of my life, sir.
No.
No, it's not the greatest.
The greatest lie is what you're spreading, talking about it there.
It doesn't exist.
I never said it didn't exist.
I'm a veteran, and I fought for the right for people to do what they do.
If they want to burn a flag, I don't like it necessarily, but they have the right to do it.
So if they burn the flag, you're not letting me talk, so I have to put you on hold.
It's very sad.
If they burn the flag at an NFL game, would you agree with me that people should not attend?
If you don't want to attend, don't attend.
Okay, that's so good.
We're in agreement.
I love it.
There you go.
That's what I'm trying to tell you, folks.
If you don't want to attend, don't attend.
Actually, I'm saying more.
Even if you want to attend, don't attend.
Okay?
People don't know what oppression is because they got it so good in the United States.
They don't know what oppression is.
Oppressed.
My God.
Have people read about Nazism and communism and fascism?
And the staggering corruption in many countries of the world?
And the oppression of women in this world?
Oppressed in America?
Black people are oppressed?
Women are oppressed.

Matt in San Clemente, California.
Hi.
Hi, Dennis.
My opinion is if they do protect the flag, just like with the Colin Kaepernick time, the ratings for all NFL stations and games were way down.
I think that's what will happen again.
It only bounced back, yes, last year because they didn't.
You know, they didn't kneel on the flag, and they didn't bring this as a big issue, and I think that was, you know, the reason that the ratings came up.
I think they'll go right back down if they embrace this kneeling concept.
I hope you're right.
I hope you're right.
I am going to be writing something.
I mean, I tell you, talk about depressing Drew Brees' retraction of his earlier comment.
In one day.
In one day.
Oh, I've learned how wrong I was.
It's not at all respectful to the flag not to stand while everybody else does.
No, how could I have been so foolish?
My teammates...
I feel bad for Drew Brees.
Believe me, I really do.
The guy's in a no-win position.
Because if he did the noble thing, he couldn't be the quarterback of guys who then just thought he's a racist.
So he had a choice.
I could continue playing football.
And retract everything I believe.
Or I could stop playing football and stay true to my beliefs.
And, you know, it's a very tough thing to leave the team you love and the profession you love.
I get it.
But he would have gone down as a national hero in history.
I love my fellow players, and if they think that they can't play with me, Because I think it's wrong not to stand for the national anthem, then by golly, I guess I just can't play anymore.
Oh my god, to have one voice like that in the United States of America now.
It would have been such a beautiful and courageous thing to do.
But look, I don't expect...
Courage for most people, so I'm not knocking him particularly.
At least he said the right thing until he was essentially told, Hey, listen, you want to continue playing with these guys, you better say that you were totally wrong and grovel.

How to stop it?
Young people seem always to be the easy marks for this kind of, marks, no pun intended, easy marks for this kind of thinking.
That's true.
I also think that young people will say the Scandinavian model works, but they don't know what the Scandinavian model is.
So the Scandinavian countries, for example, are capitalist in wealth creation.
They're socialist in wealth distribution, but they're very careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
And so you have low corporate tax rates, about 20%, same as in America.
You have no minimum wage in most Scandinavian countries.
They have no wealth tax, no inheritance tax.
You can hire and fire people for any reason.
Regulations are less than in this country.
Dinesh, I just have to hit pause for a second.
Everything you've just said is stunning.
I mean, the idea that they have low corporate tax rates, low wealth tax.
I mean, you would never dream that in a country that people think of as socialist that that would be the case.
Bernie Sanders is not advertising that.
No.
And in fact, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren want to impose financial transaction taxes on Wall Street.
Now, there's no Scandinavian country that goes near this.
The second part of it is they say, look, we can have a generous welfare state, but here's the point.
Everybody has to pay for it.
Not just the rich.
We're not going to go after the billionaires.
The basic idea is if we have a 50% tax rate and you make $60,000 a year, give us 30.
So in other words, they tax the middle class.

This is the mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser on ABC, who has a problem with Answering a question.
She had giant mural-like graffiti written on the tarmac of a street in downtown D.C., Black Lives Matter, but had nothing to comment on what else was painted there.
This is three times she was asked a certain question.
Muriel Bowser.
ABC Video Cut 5. Play video.
Now they've added the words, defund the police, which they say they fear you will now remove.
Is that right?
We certainly are very proud of the D.C. mural that we commissioned in our Department of Public.
Okay, everybody. everybody.
Back to my caller who doesn't agree with me in Naples, Florida.
Robert.
Okay, Robert.
So, I think they're wrong, but I've never said that they don't have a right to be wrong.
Is that correct?
I've never said they should be arrested.
By disagreeing with what they say in such a negative manner as you are doing, it implies that they are wrong, then.
Yes, they are wrong.
That is right.
So wait, well, so they're allowed to say America is wrong, but I can't say they're wrong.
Thanks.
They're saying, like, well, when I say it starts far, when I believe the Pledge of Allegiance, I leave out the last two lines of liberty and justice for all.
There isn't liberty and justice for all.
If you think there is, you're fooling yourself.
You didn't respond to what I said.
You do what a lot of people do when I answer their question.
I'm not trying to trap you.
I just want you to acknowledge I answered your challenge.
I never said they didn't have a right.
They say America is wrong.
I say they're wrong.
What is the difference?
Why is my saying they're wrong objectionable?
One, you never serve to defend the Constitution of the United States.
You're just a windbag that keeps talking stuff, and you're preaching to your choir.
I get that.
Okay, all right.
I'm sorry.
Folks, I feel that I'm taking time from other callers when people don't respond.
You didn't curse.
No, I just said, I'm a windbag.
That's fine, but that doesn't answer the issue.
I don't think America is a systematically racist country and that renders me a windbag.
Wow.
We've really sunk.
But Roger Goodell, that was not windbaggy.
Alright, look.

Hello.
Good morning, Mr. Prager.
Yes, sir.
I am in total agreement with you, sir.
Wisdom abounds almost daily from you.
And these people that want to give these ballplayers so much credit for all of this dissension that's going on and injustice, they don't have a clue.
They keep twisting it.
I worked for 35 years for a company dentist.
I could not bring a lot of my views and ideas to the company on company time.
That's the issue.
Those of us that enjoy sports want to go and watch and participate and get away from a lot of the pressures of everyday life.
That's right.
That's the point.
They have the right in this country to protest, not on company time.
Right.
Well, I didn't know.
The company makes rules, right.
Constitutionally, they could do whatever they want.
They could burn the flag, you know, in the middle of the game.
Guy could pull a plague out from his pocket and burn it.
That is constitutionally protected.
But you have an obligation to play the game.
But not any longer.
That is what has happened.
But on a human level, I don't understand why.
I guess, well, I do.
I understand why.
Because some people agree with the players that every white in America is a racist.
I know I'm not.
I don't happen to even know a racist.
Amazing.
Isn't that amazing?
Of all the white people I know, I don't know one racist.
I assume the reason is they would not be in my life.
Racism is despicable.
And I try to avoid despicable people in my life.
But I am not going to go and spend money and cheer for people who have such contempt for me and announce it.
I don't care if you have contempt for me in your heart.
It means nothing to me.
But once you announce it, And then the people cheer?
I mean, that's a new low in human groveling.
Will in Louisville, Kentucky, hello.
Dennis, it is truly one of the great honors of my life to speak with you.
Your program in PragerU have really helped to clarify my thought process and to...
Verify a lot of the observations I've made in my own life.
So thank you very much for all that.
Very kind.
Thank you.
Alright, now, briefly, I have two points.
I'll try to go through them as quickly as I can.
The first is from my own life, and the second is an observation about the left.
And the first is that I was in the play-by-play sports broadcasting industry myself.
You may not be able to tell that now that my voice has been destroyed.
By all the allergies here in the Ohio Valley.
But I was a play-by-play broadcaster for more than a decade, mostly in small college and so on.
But a very definite sports enthusiast.
And I walked away from the NFL as soon as I took one look at Roger Goodell.
I said, that guy is the quintessential phony, cynical, corporation corruptocrat.
And he has done nothing to change my mind in the years since.
I've not watched an NFL football game for years, and I did the whole nine yards, in addition to being a broadcaster, again, on a small college level, but nonetheless, you know, I did the fantasy football.
And what's your point on, okay, and tell me your second point in a nutshell.
When it comes to the left, I don't know that the average person ever stops to think that the saw cuts both ways, and what I mean by that is that the atheist Marxist who are Yes,
okay, let me tell you something.
This occurred to me in college.
My teachers would All, I mean all, assert morality was relative.
There is no objective morality.
It's a matter of personal opinion.
And then, two minutes later, announce the war in Vietnam is immoral.
And I realize, I don't understand.
You just told me morality is relative.
So how can you say it's immoral?

A call is going out now for the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department.
The president of the city council said this when asked about what to do in the case of a break-in.
Yes, I mean, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors.
And I know, and myself too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm is done.
There's no doubt that our cities and communities need restoration, including greater peaceful engagement between police and citizens.
Yet the idea that wanting protection is privilege is not sound.
In fact, it's absurd and won't restore anything.
Police who act unjustly are accountable to the rule of law and must be.
But there is no need to qualify what a society without police will look like.
More harm will surely be done.
May coming days bring greater safety and meaningful restoration.

Santa Clarita, California, and George, hello.
Dennis, how are you doing?
Hey, I just wanted to come from a different point of view.
My family is extremely leftist.
I live with my nephew, Humboldt State University, left all the way.
Booker T. Washington is one of the most famous black leaders of the most Civil War era.
In this week's PragerU video, Derek Green of Project 21 tells Booker...
Maybe you've given up footballs like me giving up waxing my car or something, you know.
But my point of view is I like to shut Ben down early and go on to the next subject, not create a half-field in the coins.
We sit down to dinner.
We love each other.
We have a great time.
We talk about it.
So when it came to Colin...
Am I still on the air, by the way?
Yes, I don't understand.
You said you differ with me on the football, and I haven't heard a word about that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here, let me get right to it.
I'm so sorry.
When Colin sat his butt down on the bench, I told my family, the guy's a loser.
They supported him.
The next week when he kneeled, this is how I took care of my extremist left family.
He said, oh, he's lost.
So I let him know, hey, the guy was sitting.
I was upset.
Now he's doing some kind of respect, I guess, but whatever he did, he's over, he's a loser, he lost, and his career's over.
Okay, forgive me, but I still don't know where we differ.
Folks, it's a tough thing to call a radio show.
You're taken out of the ether, as it were, and all of a sudden you have to be eloquent.
It's a challenge.
But here is a very important rule.
Please talk about what you told the screener you would.
I still don't know where this man and I differ, and he had a lot of time.
Okay.
I just ask you, my friends, to understand that you are cheering for people who loathe you, who loathe this country.
They announce it.
Roger Goodell loathes you and this country.
You're going to go to a football game or support a sport where the head of the sport says America systemically oppresses?
Black people?
And if you agree, you should go and cheer.
If you think it's a calumny on America, if you think you are not a racist, I don't know why you would cheer and support the people who have such contempt for you.
My friends, if you don't fight for America, we're going to lose it.
It's as simple as that.
If it isn't clear now, it won't be clear.

We've been told for at least six weeks now that the only way that we can come out of this in any semblance of getting back to normal is this V-shaped recovery.
We have this precipitous, voluntary, voluntary drop because, as you said, we literally shut down the most powerful economy in the world.
And as a result, what we need to see is a concordant and analogous, very, very steep recovery.
Don't the figures today indicate that that V-shaped recovery, you're the expert, Trish, that that V-shaped recovery is, in fact, possible?
I mean, I think that's the...
The glimmer of hope, right, that we have right now.
And let me tell you, if you can pull that off, Seb, you give people that economic security again, and wow, I mean, he will be applauded for that.
If you have the economic security and the physical security, because don't forget, like this is- We're dealing with right now, too.
You don't have that physical security.
If you can give those two things to people, I mean, I think that that really affects the middle of the road voter.

Now, Senator Cotton, I may be wrong.
I'm often wrong.
Never in doubt, frequently wrong, as we say.
But yesterday, the president did a very good thing with his speech and with his walk to St. John's, because he was not just going to St. John's, he was going to every storefront that had been vandalized, to every small business that had been destroyed.
That's what I thought that was.
Blue check bubble people and orange man bad people had a collective stroke and said those poor demonstrators were the subject of rubber bullets, which I don't believe were used.
And gas, which I think were flashbangs, not tear gas, but I'm not sure.
I don't know.
But it was after curfew.
What did you think of the president's actions?
I thought the president's remarks yesterday, just like his remarks at Cape Canaveral on Saturday, were entirely appropriate.
Look, I think everyone is deeply disturbed by the video of George Floyd's wrongful death.
And we all welcome the quick action by local authorities and the Department of Justice to investigate and to get justice in accordance with law.
We also respect the right of peaceful protesters, but we can have zero tolerance for anarchists and insurgents, rioters, and looters.
And the president made that point in the Rose Garden speech yesterday, and he symbolically made that point by visiting St. John's Church, where every president has worshipped since James Madison.

This is a good and decent land.
And I believe that with all of my heart.
That doesn't mean we can't do a lot better.
But it doesn't mean that a sizable percentage of America is bad.
Evidently, Former Vice President Joe Biden and the Democrat presidential nominee thinks a pretty sizable portion of America is bad.
He had a town hall yesterday, another one of these virtual town halls.
It feels like every time Biden goes off script, he gets in trouble.
Do you believe that up to 15% of Americans are bad people?
Is that your view of the nation?
If we're going to start categorizing what percentage is good, what percentage is bad, I don't know.
That doesn't seem like a winning campaign strategy to me.
Here was Joe Biden yesterday.
He was with actor Don Cheadle in a virtual town hall.
Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation?
I don't think the vast majority of people think that.
There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people.
But that's not who we are.
The vast majority of people are decent.
We have to appeal to that and we have to unite people.
Bring them together.
That's a heck of a way to unite, Mr. Biden.
That up to 15% of Americans are not very good people.
What a unifying message.
I guess that goes on a campaign slogan?
15% of Americans are bad?
Wow.
Wow.
We're still standing because we believe in the bonds that bring us together.
We believe in freedom and liberty.
And we believe that after all we've been through, nothing can defeat us.
So let's cheer as America gets ready to rebuild and remake our lives bigger, stronger, better than ever before.

David Horowitz is founder and president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
He's the author of I don't know how many books.
I've read many of them.
And let me say, every one of his books is, and here's the best thing you could ever say, important.
Truly important.
He has had a prophetic role, though he is not particularly or has not been a religious man particularly.
I believe that he has played the role of prophet in the sense of making the present clear and the future.
If we don't get it right, and that is about the left.
I know I understand the left, and I will say that if there is one person who understands it better, it is David Horowitz.
His latest book is Blitz!
Trump will smash the left and win.
But it is primarily about what is being done to this country by the left.
David, how are you?
I'm good to have this, despite the fact that our country is in the midst of a civil war, but it's really a war between good and evil.
My book, Blitz.
Hold on one second, David.
Are you talking into a phone or into a speaker?
Yeah, my book.
Is this better?
Not terribly, but if you talk right into the phone, it'll help for the radio audience.
Okay, this book, Blitz.
It's really a guide and a chapter and verse to the Civil War that we're in, thanks to the defection of the Democratic Party from our country.
It explains how and why the Democratic Party has become a racist party and an anti-American party.
Convending the president, for example, for killing the biggest terrorist leader in the world, Soleimani has killed thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of other people.
Yep, that was a giveaway, wasn't it?
To oppose the killing.
It describes how the Democratic Party actually, within five days of the election of Trump, launched...
A coup d'etat, the first coup d'etat in the history of the country against the president and then the special prosecutor.
He got away with it because of the media, a totally corrupt media.
But it also shows that how they use race as a weapon.
Why did they call Trump a racist?
He'd been a public figure for 30 years before he ran against the Democrats.
And he actually was quite liberal and supported liberals.
He was good friends with the Clintons.
Went to their wedding.
Or maybe it was Chelsea's wedding.
They called him a racist because they knew that in Trump, They, for the first time, are Republican opponents who be fearless and expose their dirtiest agenda.
They have a dirty secret that they have to keep from the American public.
Democrats control every in-city of any size in America 100% in half for 50 to 100 years.
Every killing field, every rotten school system that year in and year out destroys the lives of young black.
The Hispanic kids.
One hundred percent controlled by the Democratic Party.
Every catch and release, every coddling of criminals.
All the Democratic Party owns.
And Trump, in the Michigan speech during the campaign, he addressed Black America and said, what do you got to lose by voting for me?
The Democrats don't care about you.
You have no jobs.
You got rotten schools.
There's no businesses.
You're in an economic depression.
How do they counter that?
They countered it by calling you racist.
That's what they do.
And by the way, while we're speaking of racism, this whole, you know, we had the Russia hoax where they used to try to impeach him.
And they try to blame the coronavirus on them, even though it's Democrat governors that control the health systems in their states.
Now we have the race hoax.
Look, I mean, there are 10 million arrests in America last year.
Nine unarmed blacks were killed and 19 whites.
Twice as likely to be an unarmed white killed by police as a black.
The operative statistic is that if you're a cop, you're 18 times more likely to be murdered by a black criminal than to be shot and killed if you're black by a cop.
We don't even know that the incident, you know, the horrific video It was about rape.
There are four people charged, four cops charged with murder in Minneapolis.
Two are Hispanic.
Mr. Vice President, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show.
It's a big distance.
It definitely is a big distance.
You have been making news over the past few weeks, responding to what's happening in America, responding to what can easily be described as one of the most tumultuous times in not just American, but world history.
I want to talk a little bit about the op-ed that you put out today.
Talk me through how you would plan to undo systemic oppression, how you would plan to...
Well, first of all, it's going to take time.
You know, Donald Trump didn't invent racism, but he sure has promoted.
And it's systemic has been real.
Especially in the economy right now.
The combination was just an awful combination.
COVID-19, unemployment, systemic racism.
And what's happening in terms of the way in which they're getting George Floyd's death to place, I mean, you know, I think about it, when I was a kid, what really changed and sparked the civil rights movement as a kid, when I was just involved in it, no great shape, just a high school, college student, was, television was around.
And television came along when they saw what Paul Conner was doing in Birmingham, Alabama.
People went, whoa, I didn't know that really happened.
Now, today, everybody, not only should Cosby be wearing body cams, everybody has a body cam.
Everybody has a cell phone.
And can you, if the last words of George Floyd, I can't breathe, they would have been consequential, but if they'd not seen him take his last breath, none of this would have been nearly as consequential, because people are not saying, my God!
Did you see that?
It's one of those inflection points.
It really does feel like an inflection point, and it is a difficult one for many Americans to navigate, because most Americans agree that there is a problem in policing between police and the black community, and even many poor white communities.
This is something that we know when we look at interactions between police and American people.
She shot him, and then while he was lying, bleeding in the street, she went over and executed him.
They pray to her every time they have meetings.
She is their patron saint.
What we're really under in this country is a terrorist attack.
Why are people apologizing?
Why did Roger Goodell apologize?
Why did the general apologize?
Why are they shutting down cop shows?
The answer is people are terrified that they'll be ruined.
Their lives will be ruined if they don't knock them under to these leftists.
Well, I mean, that's my speech.
I didn't even go, yeah.
I'm not sure I breathed for the last 14 minutes.
I thought it was that important.
Hold on.
We've got to take a break.
Your timing was perfect.
The book is Blitz by David Horowitz.
I mean, I wish everybody could have memorized what he just said.
I knew those statistics, but it's so funny.
The left goes, follow the science.
But they didn't even mean it with COVID, as we now know, because they all supported the demonstration.
Not all, but thousands in the sciences said, oh, it's okay to demonstrate.
Can't go to church.
But you can demonstrate against American racism.
The book is up at DennisPrager.com.
Anything David Horowitz writes is worth memorizing.

I'm talking to my friend Dinesh D'Souza.

It's called United States of Socialism.
Who's behind it?
Why it's evil?
How to stop it.
Young people seem always to be the easy marks for this kind of...
Marks, no pun intended.
Easy marks for this kind of thinking.
That's true.
I also think that young people will say the Scandinavian model works, but they don't know what the Scandinavian model is.
So the Scandinavian countries, for example, are capitalist in wealth creation.
They're socialist in wealth distribution, but they're very careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
And so you have low corporate tax rates, about 20%, same as in America.
You have no minimum wage in most Scandinavian countries.
They have no wealth tax, no inheritance tax.
You can hire and fire people for any reason.
Regulations are less than in this country.
Dinesh, I just have to hit pause for a second.
Everything you've just said is stunning.
I mean, the idea that they have low corporate tax rates, low wealth tax, I mean...
You would never dream that in a country that people think of as socialist, that that would be the case.
Bernie Sanders is not advertising that.
No, and in fact, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren want to impose financial transaction taxes on Wall Street.
Now, there's no Scandinavian country that goes near this.
The second part of it is they say, look, we can have a generous welfare state, but here's the point.
Everybody has to pay for it.
Not just the rich.
We're not going to go after the billionaires.
The basic idea is if we have a 50% tax rate and you make $60,000 a year, give us $30,000.
So in other words, they taxed the middle class.

Well, Trump also, You know, most of his adult career was spent pretty much as a liberal.
So he wrote a book 20 years ago, in 2000, which he comes out for school choice in the defense of inner-city black kids who are getting a war deal from...
He doesn't pin that on the Democratic Party, although that's where it needed to be pinned.
We're getting a war deal from the school systems in our inner cities.
So he had a confidence.
It's the same reason that I'm as outspoken as I am.
I mean, partly I have, you know, I have my center as independent.
I can't be deplatformed.
Well, I could be deplatformed.
I have been, actually.
But I don't have a lot to risk.
In this battle, the way somebody, you know, like Tucker Carlson, a very courageous guy, he's calling it like it is, but he could be fired.
You just don't know if you're out there in public.
So I think that Trump was confident in his moral values from having been, you know, brought up with, as it were, the civil rights movement.
He even got awards.
And that allowed him to go right in the face of his enemies and people.
The reason that his supporters are so loyal is they see the wounds this guy is taking from it and standing up to it.
You gotta love him for that.
He's got faults.
You know, courage.
Lacking courage is not wisdom.
That's right.
And that's making all the difference.
Yeah.
Because I think, you know, the American people are not stupid.
There are lots of stupid people among us, but as a people, they're not stupid.
And they can see the Democrats.
They want open borders.
They support our enemies.
I mean, side with China and the coronavirus.
You know, that was, in effect, a biological weapon they use against the rest of the world.
And the Democratic Party is blaming Trump and defending World Health Organization, which is run by a terrorist.
Wait, wait, you're breaking your... ...what the Democrats are willing to do, but it is a treasonous party, and I think most Americans are patriotic.
Let me read something from your book to give people an idea why this is so important.
It's a very brief book.
The top ten lies the Democrats have told you.
And let me read you number four from his book, Blitz.
Slavery and racism are America's true heritage.
His answer, no, freedom is.
That's exactly right.
Everyone in the world, every society on earth, black societies, white societies, Arab societies, all practiced slavery.
The legacy of America, The heritage of America is freedom.
That's...
That's...
Go on.
It's a big lie.
I mean, Al Sharpton said white people had their knee on the mix of blacks for 401 years.
Well, that's 1619. There was no America in 1619. It was an English colony.
And as a matter of fact, in Virginia, we have a 20...
I mean, slavery had been accepted by all societies and all moral pieces for 3,000 years,
until As it happens, Protestant Christians said it was immoral, and Thomas Jefferson wrote into the Declaration of Independence, not only that all men are created equal, but they have a God-given right to liberty.
Within 87 years, that's the duration of slavery in America.
First of all, they started freeing the slaves in the North.
They were, I think, all free by 1877, and the slave trade was outlawed.
But, you know, they shrank from going to war with the South because the South was strong and it would have allied with the British who had burned the White House.
But 87 years later, at the cost of 350,000 mainly white lives, the slaves were free and slavery was abolished.
That's the Emancipation Proclamation.
87 years, not 401. And the brute fact of the matter is, all the slaves shipped to America were enslaved by black Africans.
You know, you even hear Mitch McConnell bowing to these lies.
That's right.
Alright, one more segment with David Horowitz.
The book is worth it for that one insight.
That you should always keep in mind.
The book is called Blitz.

Over the course of this pandemic, I've argued that churches should follow generally applicable shelter-in-place orders, that these orders and guidelines do not violate religious liberty.
Indeed, we ought to comply with him out of love of neighbor.
But if policies single out churches and religious groups, it becomes an entirely different issue, an unconstitutional violation of religious liberty.
Over the course of the last several weeks, some government officials have crossed the line.
In the case of Louisville, it took a restraining order from United States District Court Judge Justin Walker to curtail Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher's attempt to prevent even drive-in church gatherings.
The judge said, quote, the mayor's decision is stunning and it is beyond all reason unconstitutional.
Consider this.

A call is going out now for the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department.
The president of the city council said this when asked about what to do in the case of a break-in.
Yes, I mean, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors.
And I know, and myself too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality.
There's no doubt that our cities and communities need restoration, including greater peaceful engagement between police and citizens.
Yet the idea that wanting protection is privilege is not sound.
In fact, it's absurd and won't restore anything.
Police who act unjustly are accountable to the rule of law and must be.
But there is no need to qualify what a society without police will look like.
more harm will surely be done.
Make a- You're here.
One of the great men of our time, David Horowitz, and his book latest is Blitz.
You could do a lot worse in life than read all his books.
Binge on his books.
They're all listed.
I assume they're all listed at Amazon.
Is that correct, David?
Yeah, I have a website also called Black Book of the American Left.
Yeah.
And how many volumes was that?
Was that four or five?
That's nine volumes.
Boy, I blew that.
All my books are up there.
The Black Book of Communism is nine volumes?
No, The Black Book of the American Left is nine volumes.
The Black Book of the American Left, right.
There is another thing from Harvard, The Black Book of Communism.
That's right.
Well, I've had you on as they've come out.
Let me ask you a question.
You know, I love to delve into the question of why, and in the time remaining, or even less than that, why is leftism appealing?
It's so nihilistic.
Why is it appealing?
Because it's very emotional.
Everybody wants equality.
It's very hard for people to look and see the world.
You know, people are created unequal.
You can shoot baskets like Steph Curry or LeBron James.
They're going to make more money than you do.
And it's no skin off your back if somebody is wealthy.
What are they going to do with their money?
They don't put it in their mattresses.
They spend it and they invest it.
So it's working.
The big difference Dennis, the left thinks that people are born good.
And anybody who is religious within the Judeo-Christian tradition understands that people are born with the capacity to do great evil.
And their tendencies are not always good, and the bad tendencies have to be managed.
And, you know, morality, law...
Religion and oral ways to manage that.
But if you understand that people are problematic, then you're horrified when these lies are spread across our country.
And I want to make very clear that the Democratic Party is the patron of anti...
The Democratic Party mentality is out of a Communist Party these days.
You look at the...
I have a whole chapter on the Green New Deal called Green Communism.
Which is what it is.
I'll just pick one plank.
They want to get rid of gasoline cars within a 10-year period to save the planet.
Look out when people say they're saving the world or the planet.
That will justify any crime and any lie.
How do you confiscate 200...
I actually looked this figure up.
267 million private automobiles.
Which are big-budget items for middle-class people, and they offer symbols of American freedom, which is why many of these rail projects that the Democrats are always lining their pockets funding fail, because people don't want to give up their freedom.
So how do they propose to do it?
Well, if you look at the actual speech that that airhead, Cortez, that communist terrorist airhead...
I gave when she presented the Green New Deal, and behind it were all these 501c3 alleged philanthropic foundations that are all, that's how the, that's where the left funds itself, through Rockefeller and Fullerton, you know, you could go on.
They did a book on this.
They outspend the, they have more money than the right by a factor of about 13 to 1. And it's probably growing with these very rich black athletes who've been sucked into the leftist thing.
I went off the rails here, I forgot.
How do they propose to fund the Green New Deal and implement it?
By instituting Marshall.
Every one of them.
They compare it to the war to save the planet, to the war against Nazism.
And they talk about, you know, the wartime mobilization.
Forgetting that in the name of national security, we had to incarcerate 120,000 Japanese Americans because we couldn't, you know, count on their loyalty.
And every country, by the way, with a big Japanese population did the same.
They don't want to deal with these complexities.
So, the left just thinks feel good is good.
No, it's not.
That's right.
Well, who is this, you know, okay, we'll do the Black Lives Matter thing.
Who are going to be the victims of this?
Who are the people that are most vulnerable to violent criminals that need the police, don't want the police to have their hands tied?
It's inner city black people.
That's right.
That is exactly right.
Black lives matter.
Drop the word all.
They don't believe all black lives matter.
Black lives killed by whites.

I don't know if there's anything like this in world history, where the people you're cheering look you in the face, And call you the worst word they could.
Racist.
There is actually among white leftists today, even many white liberals, there is a sort of masochism.
A trait that I have never particularly found adorable.
David, I just wanted to thank you again for everything.
Well, I do know how to do this.
I mean, I was consigned to this by my parents, in a way.
I had to work out in the lingo of California my karma.
I had to pay my debt.
I often regret being political when you see how horrible it is.
Look, these people, they don't care about black lives.
You know, take the Breonna Taylor case.

They got a no-knock warrant, which is probably a bad idea.
So they busted into the house.
And her boyfriend, I mean, I don't know if he was a drug dealer, if there were drugs, if it was a drug dealing house.
But obviously they had intelligence, quality or not, that made them think it was.
He fired at the police.

Truly significant.
Just the point alone that I read to you last hour.
Anyway, I was mentioning the football last hour.
There is a very powerful piece in a law, in a police, I believe it's a police website, or a law website.
And it's by a policeman.
Speaking about his dad, his hero, a policeman in Arkansas, how he loved it, decided to be one himself.
I continue his open letter to America.
I went on a ride along, and my life's journey would never be the same.
After four years of college, my dad wanted me at an agency that respected that education.
So I moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma at 21 years old and never looked back.
I didn't know anyone, and all I knew was what I saw my dad do, work hard and treat people with respect.
I saw a lot of other cops working hard as well and doing all they could do to keep the community safe.
27 years have passed, and if you would have told me the condition of law enforcement today, I would never have believed you.
It's not that law enforcement has changed for the worse but everything around it has.
The mentally ill used to get treatment and now they just send cops.
Kids used to be taught respect and now it's cool to be disrespectful.
Supervisors used to back you when you were right but now they accuse you of being wrong in order to appease crazy people.
Parents used to get mad at their kids for getting arrested.
And now they get mad at us.
The media used to highlight the positive contribution our profession gave to society.
And now they either ignore it or twist the truth for controversy to line their own pockets.
There used to be a common respect among criminals if they got caught.
They understood you had a job to do, but now it's our fault.
They sit in handcuffs, rather their own personal decisions.
If someone attacked a cop, they were seen as such.
Now we martyr them and sue for millions.
We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed.
Now, unless there is a video from three different angles, no one cares what you have to say.
With all this talk about racism and racist cops, I've never seen people treated differently because of their race.
And while I know that cowards that have never done this job will call me racist for saying it, All I've ever seen was criminal behavior and corrupt cops trying to stop it.
And they didn't give a rip what their skin color was.
I've seen cops help and save any type of race, gender, or ethnicity you can think of.
And while that used to mean something, no one cares anymore.
I've been called every name you can think of, and many of them with racial overtones.
And it's never come from cops.
I've watched African American Cop.
Take the brunt of this and even talked one rookie out of quitting after he was berated by a lot of cowards that had the same skin color as he.
I've heard words I have never heard before being a cop.
Uncle Tom, Cracker, Pig, and the N-word, just to name a few.
I've heard them thousands of times and never once did I see a police officer retaliate.
They just took it.
Despite that, it's been the greatest opportunity of my life to do this job.
I would have recommended it to anyone, and I secretly hoped one of my kids would do it one day.
They would have been a fourth-generation cop.
But today, all of that is over.
I wouldn't wish this job on my worst enemy.
But it all starts with one simple act.
Make sure you're registered to vote.
If you aren't, you're part of the problem.
If you vote and you make smart decisions, you'll do more than just make a difference.

Now, Senator Cotton, I may be wrong.
I'm often wrong.
Never in doubt, frequently wrong, as we say.
But yesterday, the president did a very good thing with his speech and with his walk to St. John's, because he was not just going to St. John's, he was going to every storefront that had been vandalized, to every small business that had been destroyed.
That's what I thought that was.
Blue check bubble people and orange man bad people had a collective stroke and said those poor demonstrators were the subject of rubber bullets, which I don't believe were used.
And gas, which I think were flashbangs, not tear gas, but I'm not sure.
I don't know.
But it was after curfew.
What did you think of the president's actions?
I thought the president's remarks yesterday, just like his remarks at Cape Canaveral on Saturday, were entirely appropriate.
Look, I think everyone is deeply disturbed by the video of George Floyd's wrongful death.
And we all welcome the quick action by local authorities and the Department of Justice to investigate.
And to get justice in accordance with law.
We also respect the right of peaceful protesters, but we can have zero tolerance for anarchists and insurgents, rioters, and looters.
And the president made that point in the Rose Garden speech yesterday, and he symbolically made that point by visiting St. John's Church, where every president has worshiped since James Madison.

Evidently, Former Vice President Joe Biden and the Democrat presidential nominee thinks a pretty sizable portion of America is bad.
He had a town hall yesterday, another one of these virtual town halls.
It feels like every time Biden goes off script, he gets in trouble.
Do you believe that up to 15% of Americans are bad people?
Is that your view of the nation?
If we're going to start categorizing what percentage is good, what percentage is bad, I don't know, that doesn't seem like a winning campaign strategy to me.

I would never send anyone I cared about into the hell that this profession has become.

You never get to explain.
You can never reason with them.

I've watched it happen to those around me, and I've seen the total destruction of their life.
This job is a walking time bomb.
And you could get cancelled or prosecuted on the very next call, even if you do everything right.
He then makes a brilliant point.
No profession has to deal with that.
Doctors kill 250,000 people a year.
They call that medical mistakes, because society understands that they do a very difficult job under high stress, and they must make the best possible decision in the moment.
And we are highly successful.
Despite the most violent society we have ever seen, less than 1,000 suspects are killed a year.
96% are attacking us with weapons, and all but a few others are attacking us with their cars, or their fists, and more and more with simulated guns, so Benjamin Crump can help their family win the lottery.
I've seen cops risk their own lives when they shouldn't have, just to keep from taking one.
They never get the credit that other professions get.
Cowards are all around us, from chiefs to sheriffs to politicians.
