want a Mac tower near with you an online winners Dennis Prager conservative
commentator syndicated national talk show host author of several books
including
still the best hope why the world needs American values to try and
its website Dennis Prager preg ER dot com Dennis welcome back to the program
repertoire it has been a while
I am fine and I hope you are too I am in the face so
what's a first-ball aati you know you've been writing a lot about the left to the
left hates all people
stuff like that I've home I have somebody said you were moderate about me
I don't know if that's true or not
on but you know what's what's what's this obsession with the left i i'd
I don't get it what what's what is your complaint
with liberals progressives democrats
what's what's the problem where we don't have as much time as I have complaints
but I'll try to work it will start at the beginning
out and give you time to react in a nutshell
the iight contend that a
a fact I'm quite certain last -ism is a
is a different approach to the world that americanism it doesn't mean that
left the store what america I never said that I don't Playa I don't think it's
the column it will not a left is a mission ideologies
how and let's let's get into specifics how is
yet for example ok the first president United States are you how I to ensure
that in under a minute
okay the well you tell you my sister before use
encapsulated on every chlorine
and every bill that we have liberty in God We Trust and he put her personal num
lester's them prefers let's take Intergraph
leftism prefers equality a result the reality reimbursement to Liberty
leftism loyal the specular state to a cost center to guard base today or
Christian States
yes prefers multi-culturalism to weep nervous %um
well he pearl assume you numb if you know latin
is multi-culturalism it literally means out have many
1 that's a multicultural society one society that's made of many
that people are as you're happy and yes I agree with the way I don't want I
don't rock the United States become like Massachusetts was a beer all
uses to ignore the call over the human being to watch this idea was to honor
race honoring races a fascist notion it dishonoring race having nothing to do
with race or drawing racism american notion
that's a bizarre statement okay i three you is because you're on the last you
think
cream black is important being white is important being
yellow was important I think I think you mean a
decency is important I divide the world by decent indecent so you would do
nothing to remedy years and years have racism and slavery
okay that's a mess the that to me it's a myth
but that the average after American family in the United States has a five
thousand dollar net worth in the average white family in the United States
as an eighty six thousand dollar wynette net worth as endometriosis statistics
results and that is the result of racism yes okay so we have a different breed I
think it's a values issue
so what're you you think it's because black people are born with different
values than white people
why would you even imply that I said that you just said that you said to him
he said it's not a racial issue it's a values issue are you saying that all
said
that black people have less net worth in the United States then why people do
because they are they are born with different values yes I'll give you what
are the values the value of black life given the illegitimacy rate
experts a word used by molester like to you so I won't use it
out-of-wedlock great is far higher than that of the rest of the society that's
what don't you think that that same and natural and logical consequence have the
poverty that is the result of
years decades and centuries ago racism in genocide
between left and right property is the result of the illegitimacy illegitimacy
is not the result the popper know I'd say that it's a vicious cycle
they they feed each other country from the beauty of this dialogue
is I'm not going to convince you you're not going to convince me
but the beauty is clarity yes bowling that poverty
causes people not to have children before they're married
in some cases that people who helping sex
and children before marriage is produces produces part I believe both for the
dude to be the case actually
I'm sorry II would assert the both are the case
that that be having children out of wedlock
says and that's one other and that's one of the reasons by the way Dennis why I
support showing widespread sex education and widespread access to contraception
for for teenagers and young boy go boys and girls
and I don't understand why conservatives who'd know
it you know you just asserted at that out-of-wedlock children particularly to
young mothers
be to a increase the probability both the mother and the child were gonna grow
up in poverty
why you guys work so hard to avoid to prevent women
from having access to contraception and to prevent I'm young people from having
access to decent
be reality-based sex education
right okay so before there was any sex education in schools
among whites and everybody else including black speak the
illegitimacy rate was one quarter what it is today
are you or your belief that the problem use not having enough
access to contraceptives is to me an absurdity no i i what I would say in
response to assuming that your statistics are correct you're saying
pre-nineteen eighty basically or maybe pre-nineteen 70
develop reprieve cream 1967
okay great pre-nineteen sixty seven days you had a lower illegitimacy rate than
we do now
let's say that that's true and I embed it probably is
are you time up for small in absolute numbers as certainly as good as a
heckuva lot more people there are three billion people on the planet Earth Jack
and he was sworn in Santa Weiss okay so so the percentage is higher
great I would say to you that that is the logical outcome of 32 years of
reaganomics ripping apart the middle class
and crushing the working poor and that that poverty has per
has produced as a natural consequence more illegitimacy
okay that's correct that is what the left believes reagan causes illegitimacy
I absolutely believe that either I have nothing to react I'm glad it's on record
you have no rebuttal for that
know the 32 years reaganomics you we've had 32 years a flat wages have a bottle
your humor Tom when we talk what you want my bottle
church revival is that it's absurd the recent people have children
before they marry his values not poverty and you don't think the poverty
influences values
that is correct I do not I don't think the poverty producers to spare the
poverty produces despondency the poverty produces to pressure
the any other property producers mental illness everywhere else
12 people the vast majority of people prior to our generation or my generation
start work tomorrow in America and everywhere else
they were not poor if you look at that the great prosperity in the United
States during the eisenhower administration the Republican Eisenhower
administration
the the Kennedy administration that the nixon administration
are you look at that a rough from the from the nineteen fifties until the
nineteen eighties into reaganomics kicked in
answer repudiating the dude new deal we had for small was the only time in
history the united states that we had three consecutive decades a GDP growth
over three
3.2 percent it never happened before secondly we created the largest most
prosperous middle class the history the earth
and and bend about a third that is now gone we had
a third of America was unionized now it's down to 11 percent
yet corporations pain 33 per 31 percent excuse me
are the total federal income now it's down to 11 percent
I mean its it we had it but you and I grew up in the great prosperity Dennis
and what we are looking at is the consequence a 32 years a reaganomics its
rip this country part
right and that's the reason that people have children before they are married
it's one of them yes I was the original question I believe its values you
believe it's
itself poverty I believe the values are influenced by poverty I'd suggest you
know
not employee ever in Berlin are you familiar with Welker sons were Chris
spirit level
I'm Tom on my show I want to just talk as much as I do I'm not even asking for
more time just equal amount of time I thought we were pretty to work pretty
quick left-wing beliefs which you'll have
is that property is instrumental
in determining behavior I believe that that the values are
it's a left-right divide ok if I'm sane both are true Dennis
up to it i'm saying both are true i'm saying you're right and I'm right
well search through which is more determinative money
order volumes answer that question it depends on the threshold of where to
find the money
II any threshold in the United States even
even goes below the poverty line you up when you look at the studies of love
%uh how people with great amounts of money respond to people in need
and how people who are very poor respond people need people who are poor are more
likely to give
a higher percentage of their income in people who are very wealthy
