Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony
00:02:26

|
| Hello, my friends. | |
| Dennis Prager here with one of the most important races in recent American history, the California recall of a governor who has only done damage because he's the governor who is Democrat. | |
| And all he's done is damage to the state of California. | |
| As businesses leave, in the greatest numbers in California history, a net decrease in the population for the first time. | |
| Actually leading to a decrease in the congressional representation. | |
| Right. | |
| The schools are pathetic and there is a tremendous alternative if Newsom is recalled. | |
| Larry Elder is who I have in mind. | |
| Larry will be speaking and honoring a World War II veteran and his family at Monterey Park City Hall. | |
| For those of you in that area or any area of L.A., from 10 to 11 this morning, so shortly after we end our interview. | |
| So you want to get a picture with Larry Elder. | |
| You just want to help him. | |
| This is a great way. | |
| Go to the Monterey Park City Hall. | |
| So what is this with the World War II veteran? | |
| Well... | |
| This is a Congressional Gold Medal ceremony. | |
| And as you know, Dennis, my dad received a Congressional Gold Medal. | |
| He received it posthumously. | |
| My dad was a Montford Point Marine. | |
| They were the first black Marines. | |
| And Congress gave them a Congressional Gold Medal after my dad had died. | |
| And so former Congressman Dana Warbacher arranged for a ceremony at Camp Pendleton here in California. | |
| And my dad received his posthumously. | |
| Kirk and I were there for the ceremony. | |
| In fact, you can see the whole ceremony on YouTube. | |
| Just Google Staff Sergeant Randolph Elder and you can watch the whole thing. | |
| What would your father, who did indeed grow up in a racist America or certainly racist parts of America, what would he say about the charge that America is systemically racist? | |
| Well, he would be angry at us, meaning my brothers and me, if we use racism as an excuse because he knew what real racism is. | |

Opportunity Unlimted

|
| And when we were young, by young I'm talking about late 50s, my father said things are so different now, quote, the door is wide open. | |
| And that, of course, was well before the door was truly wide open. | |
| But compared to what my father faced, as far as he was concerned, opportunity was unlimited. | |
| He would have very little patience with critical race theory, very little patience with reparations, very little patience with people complaining about oppression. | |
| What do you see as the, if we had a chart, is the belief that America is anti-black rising the same or lowering in black America? | |
| Well, it seems to me it's on the increase. | |
| And I blame, in part, people like Barack Obama. | |
| You know, when Barack Obama got elected, I think he won with 52 percent of the vote, something like that. | |
| Before he set foot in the Oval Office, Dennis, his popularity had increased to almost 70 percent, meaning a whole bunch of people who didn't vote for him still pulled for him because they assumed he was going to bring about racial reconciliation. | |
| And as you know, he repeatedly, in my opinion, went the wrong way. | |
| And that's one of the things that I find interesting about him. | |
| You know, Dennis, he cut a commercial for Gavin Newsom. | |
| One of the big things I'm running on is school choice. | |
| Barack Obama, when he was living in Indonesia with his stepfather and mother, attended a private school that was run by the executives of the oil company where his stepfather worked. | |
| His mom sends him to Hawaii. | |
| He goes to the finest prep school in Hawaii. | |
| He comes here to L.A. for the first two years of college at Occidental, a selective private school. | |
| He finishes up at Columbia, an Ivy League school. | |
| He goes to Harvard, Ivy League school. | |
| Michelle Robinson, his wife, she did attend a public high school in Chicago, but not the one nearby because it was inferior. | |
| She got on a bus and went to one much further from her home. | |
| The girls, Sasha and Malia, attended a private school that was run by the University of Chicago for teachers and instructors at that school when Obama was an instructor there. | |
| And then when they moved to Washington, D.C., they went to Sidwell Friends, the Quaker school. | |
| That tuition is currently $40,000 a year. | |
| So the girls never set foot in a public school. | |
| Obama never set foot in a public school. | |
| And for all intents and purposes, Michelle Robinson, his future wife, attended a charter school. | |
| Yet the Democrats are opposed to school vouchers. | |
| Democrats are opposed to parents having the same kind of choices as they had. | |
| And it's fascinating to me. | |
| Yeah, fascinating. | |
| It's a neutral word. | |
| It's obnoxious. | |
| It's a neutral word. | |
| It's obnoxious. | |
| All right, folks. | |
| Help Larry Elder, electelder.com. | |
| Larry, you're a credit to the country, and not to mention to yourself and your parents. | |
| Thank you again. | |
| God bless. | |
| Thank you, Dennis. | |
