Dennis Prager Show - Bill O’Reilly: “It’s Not About Skin Color” Aired: 2020-06-23 Duration: 08:03 === Is It a Toss-Up? (07:59) === [00:00:00] whole piece. [00:00:00] And that's why I am among the many reasons I've invited him on. [00:00:04] It's up at Dennis Prager.com, by the way. [00:00:06] He's also an author of His newest book is The United States of Trump, How the President Really Sees America. [00:00:14] Talking about Trump, Bill, I always hesitate asking people to make predictions because I never make predictions. [00:00:23] So, nevertheless, I'll put you on the spot. [00:00:28] Not so much who do you think will win, but is it a toss-up in your eyes? [00:00:34] Are the polls accurate that Biden is quite ahead? [00:00:38] What is your read? [00:00:40] The polls are not accurate. [00:00:45] They're push polls, which means that the polling companies want a certain outcome because they're paid by corporations that want that outcome. [00:00:56] And so they do little things like poll more Democrats than Republicans, and then they say, well, there's more registered Democrats than Republicans in the country. [00:01:07] Well, that's true, but that doesn't mean there's going to be a turnout that has an eight-point spread like you do. [00:01:14] And then they have the independents. [00:01:17] What independents? [00:01:18] They never say. [00:01:19] So if you're going to call San Francisco and somebody is going to be an independent, which the polling companies quite often do, you're going to get a liberal take on your poll. [00:01:29] And that's called push polling. [00:01:31] Anyway, Biden would win tomorrow, but he's a weak candidate and Trump can exploit him in the debates. [00:01:40] If COVID diminishes and it's a stubborn disease, that will ignite the economy, which is really what Donald Trump is all about. [00:01:50] So all the other stuff is secondary to COVID diminishing. [00:01:55] And the economy surging again. [00:01:57] Because the radical Black Lives Matter movement situation works against Biden. [00:02:05] As I said, most people don't want this radical left approach. [00:02:11] And you saw Trump exploit that in Tulsa on Saturday. [00:02:16] So, if things go well for the country, Trump wins. [00:02:25] To be chaotic, he probably loses. [00:02:29] Right. [00:02:29] Chaos is their friend. [00:02:31] Yes. [00:02:32] That's exactly my read. [00:02:34] I just want to add that while I fundamentally agree with what you said, in my mind, the economy is only one factor. [00:02:43] When I think of the judges' issue... [00:02:48] That alone would necessitate a Republican president. [00:02:52] But it's not a populist issue. [00:02:54] I agree with you. [00:02:55] I totally agree with you. [00:02:56] That's why I said in my mind. [00:02:57] In my mind, giving Iran back its ability to develop nuclear weapons. [00:03:04] I wrote a column a couple of weeks ago on Biden. [00:03:08] I know him pretty well. [00:03:10] And I said, look, he's not a radical left bomb thrower himself. [00:03:16] But he will never stand up. [00:03:18] Exactly. [00:03:18] It's irrelevant. [00:03:20] And he won't run the country. [00:03:22] If he's elected, Joe Biden's not going to be running the country. [00:03:25] That's right. [00:03:25] It's going to be Obama acolytes. [00:03:27] Yep. [00:03:28] And they, some of them, are very activist and very, very committed to the socialism that many in the Democratic Party have embraced. [00:03:39] Would you, if you had kids now, would you send them to school or homeschool them? [00:03:45] No, I got kids, and they're in school. [00:03:48] So I got a kid in Fordham, and the guy there... [00:03:51] No, no, I'm talking about elementary school, sorry. [00:03:55] Okay. [00:03:56] But I was going to say the guy at Fordham doing a pretty good job at controlling the madness. [00:03:59] Yeah, I believe that. [00:04:01] And I send my kids to private school. [00:04:03] I wouldn't send them to public school. [00:04:05] Right, but even private schools... [00:04:07] Private schools, generally speaking, still embraces tradition, and... [00:04:13] An education that's well-rounded and disciplined, where the public schools don't. [00:04:19] And that's the whole key to this race stuff. [00:04:22] Because you can't get... [00:04:24] Sorry about that. [00:04:26] That's Holly the terror dog. [00:04:28] You can't get ahead in this country unless you're educated. [00:04:32] And the public school education is, in the inner city, is dismal. [00:04:37] In the poor precincts, it's awful. [00:04:39] And that's why... [00:04:42] Minorities don't compete in some places. [00:04:45] So that's what they claim is systemic racism. [00:04:48] What's your answer? [00:04:50] Discipline in public schools. [00:04:53] Now, that may not wipe out skin color racism, but I'd put skin color racism, Dennis, maybe 5%. [00:05:00] I mean, I don't know anybody. [00:05:03] Do you know anybody who doesn't like people because of the color of the skin? [00:05:06] You know one person? [00:05:08] I have said that. [00:05:10] And I have never actually met a racist. [00:05:15] I know thousands of people. [00:05:18] Here's one for you that drives Jewish liberals crazy. [00:05:21] You know I'm Jewish. [00:05:22] And I have never been subjected to anti-semitism in all of my years in America. [00:05:30] I have abroad, but never in America. [00:05:33] And you know, it's a good country! [00:05:36] And we're tearing apart a good country. [00:05:40] Listen, the generalization that this is a country based on white supremacy is insane. [00:05:49] It's insane. [00:05:50] It's all about money. [00:05:52] It's not about skin color. [00:05:55] It's about money. [00:05:56] The ruling class has money. [00:05:59] And if you are an African American and you're lucky enough to be born into a wealthy home, you'll do well. [00:06:07] And if you work hard, You will go rocket through the ranks of this country. [00:06:13] That's exactly right. [00:06:13] I just want to go back to one thing and get your thought. [00:06:18] If there's chaos, it's good for the Democrats. [00:06:21] So here's an interesting question. [00:06:24] Why would most Americans vote for chaos? [00:06:28] Because they don't understand what's happening. [00:06:31] And I don't want to be supercilious here, but they just don't understand. [00:06:36] People vote emotion. [00:06:38] They vote a motion. [00:06:40] And if you're poor and you're not doing well, you're going to vote for the person who's not in office. [00:06:46] And if you see violence in the streets, then you're going to vote for somebody who's going to stop the violence, which is why I say all these protests don't help Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. [00:06:56] They know it, too. [00:06:57] They know it. [00:06:58] But they're just too cowardly to stop it. [00:07:01] Well, what they say is... [00:07:03] So people vote a motion. [00:07:04] They don't... [00:07:05] See the bigger picture in many cases because they're looking at it through their point of view. [00:07:11] So there are two ways of looking at the chaos for the emotional voter, which is many Americans. [00:07:16] One is, my God, look at what the left is fomenting. [00:07:19] I have to vote Republican. [00:07:21] The other is, oh my God, if Trump is out of office, no more of these riots. [00:07:28] And I think that'll be close. [00:07:30] I think it'll be 60-40 Trump's way. [00:07:34] Because most Americans are gonna blame the radical left for all of this. [00:07:39] But there will be a large segment and you know who they are in Los Angeles and the big cities. === Thanks Dennis (00:19) === [00:07:44] We're gonna say, listen, Trump's a racist and all this stuff's his fault. [00:07:48] And that'll catch on in some precincts because it'll be pushed by the media. [00:07:52] That's right. [00:07:53] All right. [00:07:54] People should go to BillOReilly.com. [00:07:56] You write really powerful columns. [00:07:58] It's always good to be with you, Bill. [00:08:00] Thanks for having me on, Dennis. [00:08:01] Really appreciate it. [00:08:03] Yes, sir.
