Dennis Prager 20200609 – 3 Ultimate Issues Hour: Courage
Jun 9, 2020
The most uncommon good trait is courage. Good intentions are not enough.
The most uncommon good trait is courage. Good intentions are not enough.
Why did Drew Brees apologize for defending the flag? Why did he apologize twice?… Joe Biden panders to those attending the George Floyd funeral in Houston.
The left demonizes anyone who refuses to conform to its totalitarian view. Recently liberal/leftist editors of the NYTimes and the Philadelphia Inquirer were forced to resign. They weren’t left enough… 18 people were murdered in Chicago over the weekend, the highest in 60 years. They were not murdered by police. Al Sharpton is not speaking at any of their funerals… Dennis talks to Tina Griffin, the Counter-Culture Mom.
A black writer warns his white friends that if they don’t give money to Black Lives Matter or go to protests, he doesn’t want to associate with them anymore… Dennis talks to Lawrence Reed, former President of Foundation of Economic Education. His new book is Was Jesus a Socialist?: Why This Question Is Being Asked Again, and Why the Answer Is Almost Always Wrong.
We are supposed to listen carefully to everything the left says. But they have no interest in listening to us… Dennis talks to Heather Mac Donald, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and contributing editor for City Journal.
The Minneapolis City Council is ready to disband its police force. If they actually do it, who will suffer? The people who always suffer — those who live in high crimes areas. Black lives matter?… How can people gather for protests, but not for church?
Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: has the younger generation been radicalized; why did Drew Brees apologize — twice; will we ever be a handshaking/hugging people again.
In the middle of riots and protests based on lies, it’s not easy to be happy. How do you cope? Dennis has ideas. So do callers.
An op-ed in calls for Hollywood to halt production of all movies and TV shows about the police. Why? Because there are no good police. It’s a Hollywood myth… Minneapolis considers disbanding their police department… Do we have epidemic of police brutality against blacks? Or is it a myth?
