Ourselves i’ll tell you what i think author david horowitz joins me to talk about his new book i can’t breathe all about systemic racism and white supremacy and i’ll complete my review of alexander hamilton by showing how he devised a formula for a modern urban commercial and prosperous society
This is the dinesh d’souza podcast America needs this voice the times are crazy in a time of confusion division and lies we need a brave voice of reason understanding and truth this is the dinesh de souza podcast There’s a new study out from the university of virginia this is the center on politics there run by a pretty competent academic larry sabato and it’s an attempt to gauge public opinion in america to measure the dividedness of america now sabato’s goal is not to exacerbate the dividedness but to look
For areas of common ground it’s sort of a project aimed at seeing if americans can in fact come together on certain key issues but the latest study pushes very much in the opposite direction it’s a survey and this is not the kind of one or two questions survey that typically is done
By media organizations this is a kind of in-depth multiple question survey aimed at gauging where exactly americans not only differ but to some degree come to blows a survey of a thousand and one trump voters and a thousand and eleven biden voters so it’s about the same this
Is not one of those rigged surveys we’ve come to expect and the conclusion of it kind of startling and i’m going to quote sabato himself the divide between trump and biden voters is deep wide and dangerous the scope is unprecedented and it will not be easily fixed so the question um
I want to look at is well first of all what is this divide really about and it turns out that neither side really wants to live in the other side’s america that is the sort of take-home conclusion of this survey even though the survey goes on to
Emphasize very much in keeping with the organization’s mission that there are areas of agreement and the area of agreement they point to is the fact that trump voters and biden voters both believe in supporting infrastructure now i think that this agreement here is more illusory than the authors of this survey think
Let’s look at some of the items they’re talking about things like this do we want to have improvements in the electric grid and other parts of the power sector obviously most people go yeah then we want to modernize drinking water waste water and storm water systems i mean try to think of the
Mentality if somebody goes no i don’t think so obviously almost everyone’s going to say yes what about investing in the construction of roads and bridges and rail lines and ports well again in principle who is against these things even if you go down to something that’s
A little bit more taken from the left scrap bag making community college free well as an aspiration of course i support that everyone you know who wouldn’t want to have free education to get put kind of set you on the road to life of course in a normal person’s
Ordinary consideration it’s kind of like if you know debbie were to say to me in fact that she did say to me when we first moved into our new house in texas she’s like we got a buyer generator and i’m like well how much is that she’s like well it’s probably around twenty
Five thousand dollars for for a really nice one i’m like uh do we really need a generator so this is like giving me a survey janesh what do you think of the idea of having a generator great idea twenty-five thousand dollars doesn’t sound so good after all so right
Here you get to the normal conflicts that people have um when they have to measure the benefit of something with the cost so simply to enlist people on behalf of the idea and then claim wow look americans don’t really just everybody wants a bridge this is like this is not exactly a
Highly sophisticated analysis now the real um rub of the survey was the question that asked well two of them really one of them was it seems like there’s a willingness on both sides um on the left and on the right to skirt around constitutional processes
To get things done a rather i would say alarming percentage of both democrats and republicans said things like well you know we should be able to get things done on our our way whatever the constitution says not good or the idea that that we can circumvent legislative processes to achieve our goals now
Um 52 percent of trump voters say you know what it’s time to secede we’ve had enough of the other side and um so they either strongly agree or somewhat agree but when you add the strongly and somewhat agrees on the biden side this is interesting on the democratic side uh 41
So adding them up we’ve got 93 percent of americans think about this saying that they strongly or somewhat agree that this national marriage um is not working out it may be time to say goodbye all good things must come to an end it was good while it lasted
But uh we don’t really want to inhabit the kind of society that you’re pushing for now of course all kinds of people have pointed out that a that a civil war uh is unlikely and i agree uh they’ve also pointed out that there is because of history the history of the
Civil war and the aftermath of the civil war you can’t get unilateral dissolution uh one party can’t say well you can in a divorce you can have no fault divorce one party can walk out even though two parties made the contract uh but when it comes to secession that’s not gonna work
You actually need the consent of both sides and the question is uh why would the other side allow if the left is in control of the reins of government as they are now why wouldn’t they want us to force why wouldn’t they want to force us to live in their america now we’re
Not exactly like them many of us would be like we don’t want to force you to live in our america if you don’t like the national anthem don’t sing it uh you know create your own alternative america or go your own way but that doesn’t seem to
Be their mentality and so what is our remedy well i want to suggest one a remedy that might actually be a practical remedy in the years going forward it’s a remedy that comes out of the old days when actually divorces were very very hard to get and a lot of wives were
Sort of you know they were very unhappy in their marriages but they didn’t know what to do so here’s what they did do they basically made their husbands lives miserable they essentially made it almost unlivable because they everything that the other guy wants to do they’d go
No i don’t want to do that i’m not going oh no and so what you essentially do is you make ordinary life so onerous and so tedious and so painful that even though the other guy likes to rule over you and tell you what to do at some point it becomes too exhausting
Um too unmanageable and then even that guy who has the power shrugs his shoulders and goes all right let’s go our separate ways Guys you’ve heard me talk about my pillow but now mike has done it again by introducing his new my slippers mike has taken over two years to develop these amazing slippers they’re designed to wear indoor or outdoor all day long made with my pillow foam and impact gel to help prevent
Fatigue they’re made with quality leather suede for a limited time mike is offering 50 off his new my slippers hey great time to get some christmas presents and keep them for christmas time now the my slippers are so comfortable you’re going to want to get some for the whole family

From a little different angle in the last segment i talked about the university of virginia study about how far apart the two sides are today and seem to be pulling further apart but now i want to approach uh the same topic by looking at something that nikki haley just said nikki haley um
Former um ambassador to the united nations under trump and someone who’s been on this podcast and someone who’s views our respect on foreign policy nikki haley just spoke at the ronald reagan foundation um and library and she said that our problem is that we have quote national self-loathing
She goes on to say that stopping this national self-loathing is quote the most important mission of our time quoting her the barbarians of the world fear nothing more than a strong united states with the confidence and courage of our convictions this is by the way a speech given in the reaganite mode
If you remember gene kirkpatrick talking about the americans and we americans and the anti-americans and nikki haley says americans are quote plagued by self-doubt a quote pandemic much more damaging than any virus but i don’t think that we are i don’t think that this kind of rhetoric
Really works anymore but i want to try to put my finger on why it’s it’s a little antique it sounds off-key to me um is it really the problem that we have a national quote self-loathing do we do we loathe ourselves collectively as a country i don’t think so
The problem is really something different the problem is not that we load ourselves in fact even if you divide america into the right and the left the right doesn’t loathe itself and the left doesn’t load itself it’s really more accurate to say that we load them and they loathe us
That is the very opposite of self-loathing it’s the loathing of the other guy and where they’re trying to take us so even in some ways i think the rhetoric of that we’ve used a lot on our side even now that they are anti-american probably a rhetoric that nikki haley would go along
In fact she says in fact that that the idea that america is bad is called the bedrock belief of the american left that they don’t believe in america they’ve given up on america but she doesn’t mean america per se because they too are americans they have only given up on our america
They’ve given up on traditional america and um they’re not anti-american in the sense that they’re just against anything that happens in america they want to create their own america they want to create a different america and they are patriotic toward you may say they’re america let’s take a moment to think of
What their america would look like it would be an america in which you’d have the vast majority of citizens essentially dependent on the state everybody would be getting there they’d be lining up to get their food card and to get there where can i go live where can i get my electricity
Where should i go work uh if i work at all there would be a one-party state there would be essentially a democratic party and a republican party made up of sort of a bunch of romneys who would essentially give pompous proclamations but never really do anything so the left would be
Unquestionably in charge you’d have a completely sexually permissive society anything goes no restrictions in that area whatsoever you’d have a racial hierarchy but it would be the exact opposite of the past you’d have a totem pole basically blacks would be on the top hispanics would probably be in the middle whites and
Asian americans would be at the bottom everybody would worship the state no one would really be going to church churches might exist and they’re probably going to be the left-wing churches of course would be left alone there’d probably be more mosques in america than churches uh
But the state would really be the object of either this is their america this is what they want they don’t want an america with strong nuclear families decentralized authority individualism all of this would be kind of extinguished so this is their america they’d be very patriotic in that america they’d be very
Willing to salute the rainbow flag so when we talk today as nikki haley does and so many other people do about our american flag well we don’t really have that kind of a unifying flag anymore the other side doesn’t like the flag our national anthem they don’t want
To sing the anthem we can’t really make them our founding fathers well yeah the founding fathers did found the country but they have it’s cut they’re kind of like children who have repudiated their parents who have demanded if you will liberation emancipation from their parents so nikki haley’s rhetoric
Presumes a unity or a potential unity that i think doesn’t even really exist now david friend cheney yesterday i did a segment on david french debbie like ah again or back to him but david french put out you know some studies in response to my to my
Video he’s in fact he was saying something like you know this video has a lot of mockery in it and mockery is not an argument that is often said by people who don’t like being mocked there’s no reason mockery can’t go along with argument consider nietzsche wasn’t
He a philosopher yes he was did he do a lot of mockery yes he did but let’s let’s come back to david french because david francis we agree on so much what are we fighting about and the point i want to make is we’re fighting about the
Critical things it’s kind of like going to martin luther in the reformation saying well listen why are you trying to break away from the church i mean you agree there’s one god right you agree he made the world right so what are we fighting about so the idea here is to
Minimize serious differences that go to the heart of things that are really important to people and say why are you pulling in opposite directions this seems irrational to me because maybe those issues aren’t so important to you but they’re very important to the people involved in them
So again i don’t think this dividedness is going away very easily we can’t wish it away we can’t produce a survey look it doesn’t really exist the reformation proceeded because the people in the reformation felt strongly enough that the church had been taken over and gone the wrong path so it is
With america there are many of us on both sides of the aisle who don’t want to really inhabit the other guy’s home be the kind of america that the other side is determined to build and so the question then becomes can we amicably say hey guys uh this isn’t really working out let’s
Either figure out a way to live separate lives in the same america kind of like in the same house or let’s figure out a way for each of us to build our own rival utopia Inflation is running hot right at the highest of the last couple of decades and now the dems are trying to push through another massive spending plan 3.5 trillion dollars so here’s the deal if you think money grows on trees like our government does well you can keep living in ignorance but if you’re
Freaked out as i am by the impact that this additional spending is going to have on already high inflation well it’s time to protect your savings now diversify a portion of your savings into gold and silver with birch gold group now if you haven’t reached out to birch
Gold to diversify part of your ira or 401k into a precious metals ira do it today i buy my gold from birch gold they have an a plus rating with the better business bureau countless five star reviews and thousands of happy customers talk to them have them help you

Are emboldening the enemies of america in a way that is really a little terrifying to witness uh and um um right at the forefront of this china so china is now making very aggressive moves toward taiwan uh in all kinds of ways moves so aggressive that the taiwanese have already
Sort of sounded the alarm not quite the emergency but close to it taiwan is also reaching out to other countries recognizing that they can’t really count on the united states i mean think about this taiwan which is essentially relied for its existence on on the promise that
The united states would be by their side and perhaps fighting alongside them to repel a chinese invasion but uh does anyone in there does anyone believe that you know blinken and uh jake sullivan and biden are going to uh act in any meaningful way uh i don’t think so i don’t think
The taiwanese do either so recently taiwan’s foreign minister joseph wu has been reaching out to australia uh the taiwanese are trying to build their own alliances in the region uh and they’ve also been boosting their defenses why because what china’s been doing is they’ve been sending warplanes i mean very
Sophisticated warplanes into taiwanese airspace a dramatic escalation of chinese aggression and of course when biden was asked about this he sort of drawls meaninglessly and says something like you know he goes i’ve spoken muji about taiwan we agree we’re going to abide by the taiwan agreement first of all this is like a
Kind of neville chamberlainism by which i mean this agreement basically says that the united states will agree to recognize china and not taiwan in the understanding that any future of the two taiwan and china will be determined peacefully but china has no intention of doing that in fact there are some reports very
Disturbing that the chinese generals are telling xi now’s the time now is when america is weak now in america now is the time when america wouldn’t dare biden wouldn’t dare just give us the green light and the global times which is kind of a chinese well it’s a chinese publication
But sort of a chinese state media an instrument of the regime and they have a very interesting article in which they say that the point of sending these planes into taiwanese airspace is reconnaissance it says that the operations are designed to quote familiarize pilots with battlefield conditions so once the order is given
They’ll know exactly how to carry out the attack so there’s a lot of talk in china about an impending attack quote the initiative of when and how to solve the taiwan question is firmly in the hands of the chinese mainland so the chinese don’t think that there’s some
Kind of international agreement that has to occur not at all they believe taiwan is ours taiwan is part of china yes it broke away from china when china went communist but it is china and so this i think this idea that taiwan is part of china i think signals that the
Chinese would be willing to pay a very high price to take taiwan it’s kind of like saying what price would america pay for example to take back florida the answer is i don’t even think we would count the cost florida’s part of the united states end of story so this
Is not the case for the chinese see this as occupying another country we have to weigh the pluses and minuses what kind of price would we have to pay what kind of resistance can the taiwanese put up now the taiwan president tsai elected i believe uh well elected in 2016. uh she says
Remember that if taiwan were to fall the consequences would be catastrophic for regional peace and the democratic alliance system it would signal that in today’s global contest of values authoritarianism has the upper hand over democracy so she’s saying two things one china will have established itself unquestionably as the dominant force in
Asia every other asian country would have to take note of that but more than that if you look at the world and think of two rival models the sort of liberal democratic model that is largely describes the west and the sort of authoritarian centralized state model that represents that china represents
Well essentially this would be a great victory for authoritarianism for communism over democracy Aches and pains are kind of a part of life they come to us all eventually whether from the normal wear and tear of time or from injury now we have a choice either to feel trapped by aches and pains or we can fight back against them
The tools are different from a decade or more ago now there’s a hundred percent drug-free solution it’s called relief factor relief factor supports your body’s fight against inflammation that is the source of aches and pains about 70 of the over half million people who try relief factor order more why because
It works for them you have nothing to fear and everything to gain isn’t it time for you to get out of pain now typically advertisers send us products in both debbie and i try them debbie’s been suffering with frozen shoulder for a couple of years now and well
She tried relief factor to her amazement two weeks later she could lift her arm and not only could she lift it but it no longer hurt well she got busy and forgot to order more unfortunately the pain came right back so debbie now knows she’s never going to be without relief
Factor again we also had her aunt karen try it it worked so well that we have now purchased a subscription for her you can benefit too your first step to becoming pain-free might be to order the three-week quick start for the discounted price of only 19.95 go to relieffactor.com or call
833-690-7246 that number again 833-690-7246 to find out more about this offer that’s relieffactor.com or call 833-690-7246 feel the difference i can’t really say i’m familiar with the espn host sage steel this is a black woman actually a mixed race woman who does commentary on espn i’m not a
Regular watcher of espn i do like sports i’m watching these days tennis the tournament that is in california going on indian wells but um but sage steel got into trouble because she gave an interview on jay cutler’s podcast jay cutler is a former quarterback with the chicago bears
And this is a woman that is clearly very spunky very outspoken as real personality and she leans right she’s kind of right up center in a kind of chatty and quite engaging way so she apparently made some comments that have upset espn and so she’s been suspended now let’s look at these
Comments because again uh we see that this has now become endemic in our society this idea that you say something and your bosses take on bridge but it’s always something that is you know right leaning and most often true so first she makes some comments about the vaccine and her comments are
Actually i think quite benign she goes i respect everyone’s decision i really do but to mandate it is sick and scary to me in many ways she goes but i have a job a job i love and frankly a job i need so what she’s saying is listen you
Know disney which by the way owns espn disney forced me and so i took the vaccine but you know what i wasn’t all that happy about being forced not that i wasn’t happy about taking the vaccine but i wasn’t happy about them making me do it um now the really offensive comments
That she made had to do with obama and i’ve got to read these because they’re they’re just downright great so um the topic came up on the podcast about um a sage steel being required to fill out the census form and how it basically asks you to are you black are you white
And her point is this is ridiculous i’m not black and i’m not white i’m actually both i’m biracial i’m multi-racial why in america are we racializing everybody in this kind of way and so here is the uh here is the uh the money quote as they say i’m going to read it
To you this is sage teal talking if they make you choose a race what are you going to put she goes well both referring to herself she goes barack obama chose black and he’s biracial and then she says sarcastically congratulations to the president that’s his thing and then she says i think it’s
Fascinating considering his black dad is nowhere to be found but his white mom and grandma raised him but okay you do you i’m gonna do me listen i’m pretty sure my white mom was there when i was born and my white family loves me as much as my black family
What’s that’s what she said what is the big deal this is a this is a this is nothing this is a woman who is speaking her mind and in no way getting off the reservation every single statement i’ve kind of parsed it individually is true barack obama’s dad
Was a complete deadbeat in fact he was gone even before obama was born the interesting question there is how a how obama basically developed this kind of reverential psychosis toward this deadbeat dad who was a leftist a communist an anti-american a wife beater uh ultimately uh basically both his legs
Are to be chopped off he was an amputee he was an alcoholic he beat his wives i mean this is not exactly an admirable character but yet obama’s like i review the scar the dreams of my father so that’s another story but but i’m happy
To say that sage steele is going to be back at work next week so she wasn’t expelled she wasn’t fired they just gave her a suspension but i don’t like the suspension because what’s it gonna do if anything they’re basically saying don’t don’t speak your mind don’t show this
Kind of personality don’t be sh they don’t want her to be her and by the way she wasn’t even being her on espn she was doing this on a podcast uh where they were probing her life and her response to the census so i find the whole thing deplorable uh and even
Though i haven’t been a watcher of espn i am kind of a new fan of sage steel Stop paying for verizon a t and t and t-mobile’s political and social initiatives stop paying for their thousands of retail stores across the country that you never go into pure talk doesn’t charge you for any of that fluff instead they give you excellent 5g coverage on the same 5g network as one

Uh well a friend of dubby’s in mind he’s a noted conservative commentator and nationally best national best-selling author he’s founder of the david horowitz freedom center in los angeles he’s written oh a bunch of books but we’re going to focus on the new one uh here it
Is it’s called i can’t breathe and it’s wow that’s a that’s a catchy title how a racial hoax is killing america and i’m kind of chuckling when i uh open the book it’s got a trigger warning on the front cover this book presents facts about controversial incidents at odds
With the conventional wisdom read at your own risk uh david thanks for joining me i really appreciate it what a i mean what a timely and riveting book and um and as i was reading it i was thinking to myself wow we have certainly come a long way from
The civil rights movement a long way from martin luther king so we celebrate that poor guy’s you know birthday every year but what would martin luther king make of let’s say black lives matter black lives matter hates martin luther king they call them racists um there’s no relation whatsoever between
The civil rights movement and black lives matter uh martin luther king was an admirer of mahatma gandhi and he was dedicated his political life to non-violence so if you look at the old clips of the civil rights movement everybody’s wearing a suit no stores are looted and
All the violence uh is coming from racist southern cops and that’s the way it should should be so black lives matter isn’t my i think it was jason whitlock who had the courage to say it uh it’s a modern ku klux klan in in blackface that’s what it is now
If that is the case it’s it’s puzzling to me that black lives matter is so popular with so many white people uh let’s leave aside why blacks might join an organization like this but you have these woke whites a lot of them young people and i think that they think that
They are in the tradition of the civil rights movement uh how is it that they are getting it so wrong well you and i have been on college campuses together so uh yeah they’re being taught uh by racists who hate america uh our universities are one party states um
We have never had more ignorant generations in america than we have now um i i mean it’s shocking i was shocked when bernie sanders got into congress because he’s such a dubby but then and they topped that with ocasio-cortez and all of them they’re idiots they know nothing
Uh they know nothing of america’s history america is god’s gift to black people slavery existed in africa for a thousand years well you know this very well dinesh for a thousand years uh before a white person ever set foot there and it was considered a normal institution in all societies
For 3 000 years and here i’m just quoting a a very smart black sociologist orlando patterson who’s written a uh the library of books on slavery um until white christian males wilberforce in england in the 18th century and thomas jefferson in america um said that liberty is a god-given right given to all
Human beings and that spelled the end of slavery at least in the western world it still exists in africa uh muslims still get away with it but i mean think of the irony david you know you’ve got the um the slavery in america could not have been
Ended by the blacks by themselves right there were a few sporadic black revolts they were they amounted to nothing so there was no way for the blacks to do it it had to be done if it was going to be done at all it had to be done by the
Whites so the whites laid the intellectual foundation for it with people like jefferson and then it was white armies the union armies the republican armies of the civil war that actually achieved the end of slavery and so all of this history it seems is now being erased in favor of a narrative
In which basically whiteness is bad exactly with the collusion of the democrat party that’s the real problem and with the collusion of a very successful white people i mean it’s not just the students you you know they’re a white journalist there are whites in powerful positions in academia
And in media but also in corporate america and and that’s kind of what i’m getting at is how do you explain their willingness to sign on to a narrative that in a sense is an indictment of themselves i guess to a degree and it’s manifestly false why marxist mentor isaac deutscher once
Said to me that david he said the problem with politics is that people have a hard time adding two and two and getting four and part of the reason that they have such a hard time is they’re intimidated there are very few brave people or you know if you
Want to get involved in socrates uh examination and bravery they could also be stupid people if you don’t understand the consequences uh and i i plead guilty to that i remember when when peter collier and i came out as conservatives peter said our literary careers are over
I thought he was crazy but he was right and we went from the front page of the new york times to the back page to not being there at all um but uh i i think intimidation is is the biggest part when i became a conservative
I lost every friend that i had in life from the time i was a kid until the time i was in my mid-30s and it’s a little scary when you have to go through that can i put together a life in midlife well it turned out i could so i’m happier for it
But i think these are huge factors until i had to pay the price of losing all my friends i didn’t realize how much that was in the back of has to be in the back of every leftist mind if i deviate even christopher hitchens he deviated on abortion
Um you know you had uh uh i i know what i i’m searching for a bad enough term that’s not too bad for todd gidlin saying he wouldn’t he wouldn’t admit christopher hitchens into his house for having a deviant opinion like that but that’s that’s the left is not a free
They’re not free in their politics they’re they’re acting under the gun i mean we haven’t i i i just here’s an example of how intimidated people are um a week after the george floyd verdict and let’s let’s face it black lives matter is a national lynch mob first you
Get the verdict every cop that shoots a black person no matter uh how criminal they are no matter how armed to the teeth they are no matter how whether they are actually firing at the police um every black is innocent and every cop is a murderer that that’s what you start with
Then you go to the art you don’t even pay attention to the autopsies the toxicology the evidence um so david let’s take a pause here when we come back i want to pick up this theme because this is the heart of your book and look at a couple of these cases to
Show how they’re built on just racial hoax we’ll be right back Debbie and i decided to give up bread a while ago to save on carbs and boy did we miss it that is until we tried this new bread from uprising food we love to eat our avocado toast with uprising bread every morning now and debbie found
It has only two net carbs per serving 6 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber william and his team at uprising food have cracked the code on healthy bread you simply can’t find something this healthy that tastes this good that’s this fresh uprising has made prebiotic fiber delicious and their patent-pending
Breakthrough in psyllium husk activation makes fantastic digestive health absurdly easy for all of us for me it’s all about the taste and when i find stuff that tastes great and is good for me well i’m sold uprising food has absolutely nailed the taste factor uprising is offering our listeners ten

And commentator our friend david horowitz author of the new book i can’t breathe um david um you know it’s what i find really strange about all this we’re in a big country and it would seem that one could find plenty of examples of racism now you could take those examples and generalize
To america being a racist country but you would think that the left would be able to find some really good examples to build their case on even if they were over generalizing from those examples what you show in this book which is really devastating is you pick their
Cases you pick freddie gray brianna taylor george floyd you go down the list and you show every one of these is bogus every one of these is based on a hoax how is it that intelligent people can’t even find good cases that would support their narrative without having to lie about them
America is not a racist country look blacks are 13 of the population but they’re the lion’s share of of the athletes who are the icons for our youth they’re 13 they must be 70 of the personalities that you see in advertisements on tv why would a major corporation risk losing
Racist customers if they thought their customers were racist they know that they’re not and that they can portray integrated cover i think it’s a great thing that that while blacks are only 13 of the population they’re 70 of the middle-class law-abiding people that you see in ads on television loving people
Intelligent people doctors lawyers well not to mention the outsize influence in entertainment think of the influence of blacks and music in hollywood and the in the whole uh dominant force you can’t think of american culture without thinking about uh thinking of blacks and they’re the chief beneficiaries of
All of the goodies doled out by government first in line to get a place in a university a prestigious university yeah you know given 200 point advantage on the test scores um first in line to get a job first in line for a promotion first in line when
You’re looking for a board member for coca-cola or something like that you’re going to look for a black female probably just which is how we got kamala harris is our joke as a vice president uh you could just go on and on um what i was going to say about the george
Floyd cases um and as a sign of how sick our media culture is um within a week of the shogun trial he’s the police officer with the knee on their neck um 60 minutes interviewed keith ellison who did his apprenticeship as an 11-year apprenticeship as a spokesman for the
Worst racist in the country the most disgusting one which is louis farrakhan anti-jew anti-gay anti-white this was keith ellison’s idol at the time i guess he went from there to being chair of the democrat party which tells you everything you need to know to appreciate dinesh d’souza’s books the democrat party um uh
They interviewed 60 minutes interview keith ellison who was the attorney general from minnesota therefore the chief prosecutor uh of the george floyd case and and said uh was there a racial was there a racial element that’s a brave question in the killing of uh or in the death of george floyd and
Ellison’s answer we couldn’t find one well if he couldn’t find one you know for certain there is none and there was none and if you watched the trial nobody testified that uh derrick sheldon had racist attitudes or even an anger ever uttered a racist epipen um you know
And you would expect that to be the headline in every kind of paper in the country uh the the the george floyd riots criminal riots uh nobody uh ever really prosecuted they were caught and released uh for perpetrating them billions of dollars the worst look the worst civil destruction in the
History of america in peace time absolutely the worst scores of people killed directly by black lives matter rioters thousands of blacks in the inner city dead because of the defund the police movement all based on a hoax which is that there was a racial element in the killing
Or the death of george boyd uh it’s hard to know who killed who killed church floyd except himself he had four times the lethal dose of fentanyl in the system when he died you can’t kill somebody by pressing your knee on the side of their neck it’s not this is the windpipe
What you do is you shut off the blood vessel to the brain cause them to pass out and so they cease to be a danger to themselves and others uh you could just go on and on with what’s wrong with the whole black lives matter movement and they’re all you know jesus colors
One of the criminals responsible of pathological wire um you know she’s appropriated or as an expropriated four million dollars from the same george floyd fund or whatever it was uh for her personal houses and justified it and this is classic when the uh when the sandinistas took over in
Nicaragua they moved into that they moved the rich out of their houses and moved into them that’s that’s a communist mentality and you have all these idiots who believe that uh rhetoric is reality and and believe what they say you can’t believe what any of these people say about anything
Unbelievable uh david you have you have told a great story and a very telling story i love the way you systematically go through these cases you take them them down one by one and that only creates a more surreal feeling about what we’re living through
A narrative that is not just based on a little bit of evidence it’s based on no evidence at all and yet it is promulgated every single day through every major institution of america let me ask you a closing question are you pessimistic about the country or do you think we’re gonna
Awaken and see the nonsense around us and fix it you know i forget the name of the psychologist who wrote the book on optimism and pessimism but uh they’re kind of imborn characteristic stations oh i don’t think anybody’s identified the optimistic uh whatever it is lever inside you
But people who are optimists lead happier lives so i’m i’m an optimist here i think america is totally turned off to buy an administration and they’re going to take a drubbing whatever race they run and and deservedly so uh when i watch uh um jessica what’s her name
On fox the liberal on fox defend the attacks on parents complaining about what’s being rammed on their kids throats um you know i i fear as jefferson said i tremble for the future of my country when i consider that god is just um but then when i see those parents
Standing up and not being intimidated i say we’re gonna win thanks david i really appreciate it thanks for joining me on the podcast this was great I’ve been on hillary clinton’s trail for a long time in my film hillary’s america i detailed the danger she posed to our country now fortunately the american people got the message but there’s still more that must be done to reveal the ugly truth about the clintons the clinton foundation and their corrupt
Ways especially since the biden family seems to view the clinton’s example as a how-to guide now you won’t find the truth about hillary or biden in today’s fake news media you have to turn to a powerful source like the capital research center my friends at capital research center expose the left like no
One else can now they’ve released an eye-opening new report that lays bare the corruption of the clinton crime family it’s called by hook or by crook want to read it then go to capitalresearch.org dinesh you’ll get the chance to order a free copy of by hook or by crook and
Learn the facts the mainstream media won’t touch so again that’s capital research c-a-p-i-t-a-l research dot org slash dinesh check it out i want to conclude today my series on alexander hamilton one of the five key architects of the american founding this is part of my prager university video series five videos five minutes
Collectively called the making of america you can watch those by the way on prageru and i want to talk about what hamilton did in each of the videos i focus on one issue jefferson and equality so hamilton and capitalism now we often forget that one of the main driving forces of the american
Revolution i’m talking about the american revolution of 1776 in some senses there were two american revolutions the revolution of 1776 that produced the declaration and produced independence and then the revolution of 1789 which was the uh constitution in both senses of the term the the making the forming
And then the writing of the constitution which came more than a decade later now in 1774 george washington was asked about why the united states is considering breaking off from great britain and he says this great britain has no more right to put their hands into my pocket
Without my consent than i have to put my hands into yours for money now this quote by the way not that well known i was a little surprised to find it because i hadn’t heard it before but it shows you that the right to property is a key principle at issue in the
American revolution and what i’ve been arguing is that against the old ethic of conquest in which things are taken from other people by seizure or by force america developed an ethic of wealth creation of technological capitalism you don’t have to go rob another guy you can
Trade with him you can make new things so alexander hamilton himself realized in his own life that kind of upward mobility that commerce and capitalism makes possible he was the son of a west indian immigrant he came to america basically with little or nothing and he wanted this upward mobility to be
A defining characteristic of this new society now let’s remember that the other american founders washington jefferson madison they were virginia farmers and it was up to them alone america would probably have been set up as a network of farming communities with you have towns but the towns are the
Places where this agricultural produce is bought and sold but it’s hamilton it was an upstart immigrant new yorker who laid the groundwork for america to become an urban industrial commercial society hamilton does this you can look at his writings in the federalist the federalist papers by the way
Written by madison by hamilton and by jay but it’s known which of them wrote which of the papers and here’s hamilton talking about the new government in america and he says quote by multiplying the means of gratification by multiplying he means the rewards he says the new constitution and the new
Government can ensure that quote the assiduous merchant the laborious husbandman the active mechanic and the industrious manufacturer all orders of men look forward with eager expectation and growing alacrity growing speed to the pleasing reward of their toils so he’s saying people should be able to keep their own stuff and make more and
Hire other people to work for them and work hard this is basically hamilton’s idea of the new american and notice who’s missing by the way from his list of all these people the mechanic the husbandman the manufacturer he doesn’t mention the farmer so hamilton envisioned america as a nation whose
Nuclei would be cities which would be centers of vigorous invention and innovation and trade and new types of people entrepreneurs mechanics financiers salesmen all these guys with a kind of naked ambition coming to the city to make it and to make good and now for
I would say um about a century a century and a half america was built on this hamiltonian ideal now admittedly and this is an important way for me to close this out for more than a century or nearly a century america’s been pulling away from this kind of
Bold brave free market system courts have sanctioned all kinds of depredations against property rights restrictions of trade that the constitution does not allow so hamilton i think if he were alive today would be a little appalled at all these ways of kind of skimming the pie or distributing or redistributing the
Pie without paying attention to how a pie gets made hamilton wanted strong government that’s true but the point is he wanted strong government because he understood that capitalism itself is based on an architecture of rights and contracts and this requires a strong government to enforce those things to be the neutral
Arbiter of disputes that inevitably arise so the point is that while hamilton wanted an activist government he didn’t want an activist government of the kind that the left is promoting now he wanted an activist government on behalf of on the side of capitalism and civil liberties and human freedom in sum
Hamilton wanted a strong central government not to undermine freedom but to protect it subscribe to the dinesh d’souza podcast on apple google and spotify or watch on rumble youtube and salemnnow.com You
