| the race card is being used a lot right now in the media to divert from things that are really important. | |
| For example, Benghazi, the IRS, different things happening in Washington, D.C. | |
| But to clarify it a little bit, we have Larry Elder joining us tonight. | |
| Larry, what is your perspective on the Justice Department funding protests against George Zimmerman, even before he's been indicted? | |
| Well, this apparently is some sort of program that was set up when they set up the Civil Rights Commission, and the idea is when there are areas that are so-called hotspots, they send people there. | |
| But no, they're still a waste of time, a waste of taxpayers' money. | |
| I'm not terribly offended by it. | |
| Not that much money was spent. | |
| But it's a program that's stupid and useless. | |
| We shouldn't have it. | |
| You don't think it affected the trial at all? | |
| That's true. | |
| And why was the mainstream media trying to make it all about race? | |
| Cori brought these charges never should have in my opinion I agree with Alan | |
| Durst which he probably should be brought up on sanctions because | |
| apparently she hit the ball for the other side and didn't present | |
| documentary evidence and photo evidence till right before the trial she's in | |
| trouble. That's true and why was the mainstream media trying to make it all | |
| about race? What's your perspective on that? Well because that's the mainstream | |
| media's mantra. | |
| Racism remains a major problem in America. | |
| And frankly, not even racism. | |
| Anti-black racism by white people. | |
| That's all they care about. | |
| If there's racism about Hispanics, because we have gang violence here in L.A. | |
| where Hispanic and black gangs are killing each other, that doesn't seem to bother anybody in terms of making national news. | |
| But if it's a white guy who does something against a black person, that becomes news. | |
| And then, you know, the media loves to run with these stories. | |
| Racism, racism, racism. | |
| That's why Hollywood made this fraudulent movie called Hurricane about a guy who frankly murdered three people. | |
| That's why USA Today ran for all those days and weeks, two years ago, claiming that black churches were being burned. | |
| It turns out that USA Today red-faced part of the expression had to apologize because Black churches weren't being burned. | |
| There were some frauds in that story, which for reasons that escape me somehow became a national mantra. | |
| It's the same thing with Duke Lacrosse. | |
| That was a fraud. | |
| Genesix was a fraud. | |
| This is a fraud. | |
| Well, and it's really about... Well, they're trying to make it about race, but the bottom line is they're not talking about all the things that are happening in Chicago. | |
| That's one thing. | |
| Well, yeah, and there have been 480 people murdered since Trayvon Martin was killed in one city alone. | |
| Seventy-five percent, by the way, of those homicides are uncleared, meaning they're unsolved. | |
| Where are the cameras? | |
| It seems to me that at least in the case of Trayvon Martin, the Martins know what happened to their son. | |
| In Chicago, 75% of these homicides are unsolved. | |
| How many crying mothers and fathers are there in Chicago? | |
| Nobody seems to give a damn about it. | |
| Last weekend alone, we had at least six. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And we had, I think, 17 with injuries. | |
| But, you know, they're just not going to talk about it. | |
| And why is it not, let's talk about black on black, or let's talk about Hispanic and black, or Asian? | |
| Because it's easier to blame other people. | |
| If we were to talk about black on black crime, you have to get into the roots. | |
| And the root is the social pathology. | |
| And the root of that is not having a dad in the house. | |
| In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote a book called The Negro Family, a Case for National Action. | |
| He's a lefty. | |
| He's a Democrat. | |
| Later on, he became a Democrat from New York. | |
| And in that book at the time, he said 25% of black kids are born outside of wedlock. | |
| If we don't get a handle around this, this is going to be horrific for the black community and horrific for the country. | |
| Well, fast forward now. | |
| 75% of black kids are born outside of wedlock. | |
| 35% of white kids are. | |
| This is a neutron bomb dropped on the population, and we need to reverse that. | |
| And let me tell you something. | |
| The LA Times had a poll back in the mid-80s, and poor people and non-poor people were asked the following question. | |
| Do you believe that young women get on welfare to have additional benefits? | |
| The majority of non-poor people said, oh no, that's unfair. | |
| However, 64% of poor people said, yes, we are incentivizing people into marrying the government, we're allowing men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility, and the left has done this. | |
| And instead of acknowledging it, they can't do that, so they talk about things like racism, sexism, and high-capacity magazines. | |
| Anything to divert your attention from the real problem, which is the meltdown of the family, which has been aided and exacerbated by the left. | |
| And you touch a little bit about that in your book, Dear Father, Dear Son, correct? | |
| I do. | |
| And the reason I wrote that book is because my dad and I had a rotten relationship. | |
| For 10 years, we didn't speak to each other. | |
| And it took me until I was 25 years old to appreciate the fact that he was in the house working very hard all those times. | |
| Okay, he was a little grumpy. | |
| He wasn't a bored cleaver, but he was a good man. | |
| But he was working real hard. | |
| I mean, wasn't he working two jobs? | |
| He worked two full-time jobs as a janitor, cooked for a family on the weekend, and went to night school to get his degree. | |
| To get his high school degree because he dropped out of school when he was in the 8th grade. | |
| The point behind the book, though, is his father was abusive. | |
| My dad doesn't know who his biological father is. | |
| He was raised in a home. | |
| Where his mother had a series of abusive boyfriends and still my dad did not rob and maim and steal and I asked him why and he said back in those days you didn't have a bunch of people like Al Sharpton telling you you were a victim nor did you have welfare. | |
| You had to bust your butt and you had to make it. | |
| And my dad believed that welfare is one of the worst things that ever quote came down the pike. | |
| Close quote. | |
| He used to always tell me that. | |
| I believe that. | |
| And it's kind of a media avalanche, too. | |
| They seem to be pushing the big rock, just making it go faster, too. | |
| It hasn't changed very much in the last, probably the last 10 years it's gotten worse, especially with social media. | |
| Well, and the fact is that a story that's a fraudulent story can, as you know, go around the world real quickly. | |
| And that's one of the reasons that a lot of evidence never came out. | |
| For example, did you know that his prom date was black? | |
| Most people don't know that. | |
| He had a black business partner. | |
| Most people don't know that. | |
| And he went to bat for a black homeless guy who was apparently beaten by the son of a police lieutenant. | |
| Nothing was done until Zierman and others began to agitate and they got the lieutenant fired and ultimately the police chief was fired for not doing enough. | |
| The police chief would never have been fired for dragging his feet on the investigation of the black homeless man who was beaten up by the son of a police lieutenant. | |
| It was all inside baseball and Zierman yelled and screamed and got something done. | |
| Yet he's racist. | |
| Well, that's the thing. | |
| And this is pretty recent. | |
| This isn't something that they buried five years ago. | |
| That's right. | |
| And, you know, there was a murder, a gruesome, gruesome murder, a series of murders in the 2000s in Knoxville, Tennessee. | |
| Two white students were brutally beaten, raped, tortured, and killed by four black men. | |
| uh... and they didn't probably come to our degree to know that the ready for | |
| it if it was no evidence that however horrific uh... that was there was no | |
| evidence that they were motivated by race indeed the black men i had had white | |
| friends indeed updated white women well that's the definition of a non | |
| catered and uh... george herman certainly the non-hater considering he | |
| went to a problem with a black woman had a black business partner and so forth | |
| what about his mother it was a little bit | |
| and it turned out is great great grandfather was black And that's why the media at first called him white, then called him Jewish, and then they didn't know what to call him, because they couldn't figure out what box to put him in. | |
| Exactly, and that's the problem, is the box. | |
| It's the box. | |
| And why is it that Obama can call himself African-American, but Zimmerman can't call himself Latino? | |
| I'm curious if you have an answer to that one. | |
| I sure don't. | |
| I remember somebody called up once and said, well, what about Zimmerman's father? | |
| He was white! | |
| I said, okay, what about Obama's mom? | |
| Well, I guess it must be, maybe it's a mother-father thing. | |
| Well, I'm not sure about that. | |
| In the Jewish tradition, it's the mother that determines your ethnicity. | |
| And George Zimmerman's mother is Peruvian. | |
| So therefore, if we're using the Jewish tradition, then he is a Latino. | |
| Wow. | |
| That makes it more complicated. | |
| It is complicated. | |
| And notice the jury and the black alternate all said that race had nothing to do with it from what they can tell. | |
| These are six people who were not influenced by the media, they weren't listening to MSNBC, they were sequestered, and they were all apparently surprised when they found out so many people in the media thought this case was about race. | |
| They didn't, and the black juror, who's the alternate, apparently I heard he was black, also agreed with the verdict and didn't feel that it had anything to do with race at all. | |
| Well, it's interesting, too, because these people were not affected by the media, yet they really hung Zimmerman last year. | |
| He didn't really have a chance before the trial, if you look at it that way. | |
| And that's exactly right. | |
| The media had crucified him. | |
| And I thought, when I first heard this story, I bet you did, too, that the police, the night in question, just said, hey, George, what's up? | |
| And he goes, hey, what's going on? | |
| I'll see you at home. | |
| They took him to the station, they handcuffed him, they took him out to the scene the next day. | |
| It wasn't like they did a half-blank examination. | |
| It was pretty thorough. | |
| And it vindicates the police chief who was fired for not pressing charges against Berman. | |
| He felt that there wasn't sufficient ground and that if they'd done so they were not going to prevail in court. | |
| He was right. | |
| And considering the case with the homeless black man from the year before, The cop they were going after was actually one of the | |
| officer's sons, so it could have gone completely the other way. | |
| It could have, yeah. | |
| It was the son of a police lieutenant who beat up a black homeless guy. | |
| Nothing was done, and George Zimmerman agitated. | |
| The other thing too about this thing is Stand Your Ground was not used in this trial at | |
| all, but people still are upset with the Stand Your Ground law. | |
| Obama, as you know, made a reference to it. | |
| We have a couple resolutions out here by politicians in California refusing to do any business in a state that has a Stand Your Ground law. | |
| But it turns out when Obama was a state lawmaker in Illinois, he co-sponsored a bill to strengthen the already existing Stand Your Ground law in Illinois. | |
| Is this thing on? | |
| That was about nine years ago. | |
| And now you say that's evolving. | |
| Well, he's evolved. | |
| You know, you don't say politicians lie anymore. | |
| You just say they evolved. | |
| I think that's Obama's favorite word. | |
| Alright, well Larry, thank you so much for being here with me today and tell us a little bit more about your book before we go. | |
| Well, I wrote the book because I want people who don't have good relationships with their fathers and people who are fathers who have bad relationships with their children or non-existent ones to realize the importance of this. | |
| As well-adjusted as I think I am. | |
| I'll pause while you laugh. | |
| After my dad and I reconciled, I just felt better. | |
| I felt happier. | |
| I felt more confident. | |
| I felt more loved. | |
| There is an itch when your father is not around. | |
| Tupac Shakur, that well-known neocon, said, I know for a fact if I had a father in my life, I would have had some discipline and I would have been more confident. | |
| He also talked about why he started running around with gangs. | |
| He wanted structure. | |
| He wanted protection. | |
| That's the other thing. | |
| You're living in the undercity? | |
| Who's going to protect you? | |
| Who's going to protect you against other people? | |
| And that's why a lot of people join gangs, if for no other reason than security. | |
| We've got to do something about these large number of households who were raised without death. | |
| We have to change the laws so that we no longer have these incentives, and we have to do what George Herbert Walker Bush said, which is a thousand points of light, and make sure that we volunteer and give money to organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, 100 Black Men, the National Fatherhood Initiative, which is an organization that I support. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| groups around the country. We need to empower them and get them in the | |
| community to get hands-on assistance. I think empowerment is absolutely key and | |
| we have to do that. We can start doing that in the media too, but instead of | |
| dividing maybe pulling people together. Absolutely. All right, well thank you so | |
| much. Let's do this again. My pleasure. Let's not let the mainstream media | |
| distract us from what's really important. Let's focus on the truth, the | |
| Get in the answers. | |
