8:01 am
aeroflot russian and lights. crazy conspiracy there is that they're all worthless there are all money the bus forget about the back of the buses run a love of the fuss because we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and fake news to you die that's america. that's a very rough terrain you so it's rough climates and you have to fight to be able to live in the flat. it was gunshots on top him and so many friends he
8:02 am
would have been only one of many need not. apply i don't think anyone will pick up . you know i don't want. to see it but a body in the shoe and is ready to participate in the good is both to me good to me that. you don't think about these movies so good on you got through it here like any i do and other patients. america was never great was founded on the rapes and the murder. nothing changed so we said no all response to these situations that we deal with. people get shot every other day she has to stab people kill each other blood for
8:03 am
the killing show that. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we. on the streets we've got to deal with why this is a reason i have to rat like this is the reason. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it being eliminated empty just because they think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict despond innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying there's just no really hasn't been that we want even many victims'
8:04 am
families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the capital here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite prepared for this this isn't their way. about politicking i am larry king and i'm with dennis prager nationally syndicated host of the dennis prager show founder of the online prager university you hard to believe this we're old friends he's a bestselling author his latest book is the rational bible exodus god slavery and freedom i normally never give my opinions i don't just love and been doing this for
8:05 am
years right taking on dennis for go a couple of political questions i will get to a book out of midterms are going to come out. i there i'm not i never avoid questions but the truth is i just don't make predictions what do you think what i think if they were held today i think it be it would be nip and tuck i just don't know look i thought hillary was going to win so asking me political predictions is not wise i'm not good at predictions what do you make of the state of the country and its division well the division i wrote that we're in the civil war before trump was ever elected we are in the civil war the left and right are always different as the south and north were in fact i think even more different so it is what it is i'm very sorry about it but i don't make any bones i mean look if you believe that it that having an all black dorm at a college is a good thing and you don't that's
8:06 am
a pretty big division liberals were for integration the left is for segregation one of the things i show all the time is that leftism has nothing in common with liberalism except big government and that's an example race the the liberal dream on race is that race doesn't matter the put race does matter to the left your color matters so that an all black dorm or a black graduation is now common and therefore you oppose the left you should be. well i all know no let me explain first of all i know a lot of that will go yes there are i didn't i never lived that you don't like them i don't like them but i don't oppose them for only one reason if there was a christian dorm in other words by religion i don't mind where people unite on values i might where people unite on race. so but so that's what you do is something i would never live in one i wish they didn't exist i don't think it's
8:07 am
healthy i want jews to dorm with asians and christians and buddhists and so on but there is a difference between race and religion and are you happy with the record of the trumpet ministration yes i'm thrilled with all the people who've departed the white house i didn't care less and the us you asked me about its achievements not not its personnel but the personnel make the achievements you're right but the president is ultimately responsible i am happy with with the supreme court nomination i am happy with reining in the government bureaucracy i think it's good for america i am happy with the lower tax rate so that we're finally at sweden's level the you know that we had the highest tax rate but i don't remember there was one exception in the entire western world on companies and now look at the economy so everything's good so why then say everything is why this job is vision if everything's going well we have the sharp division under obama two left and right can't stand each other ok or
8:08 am
how come in the sixty's when we had division we also had giants in the senate who dined together that's right we made allowances for each other and now there are none of that direct why not because you and i will differ on the genesis of the reason but i think the reason is that liberals have gone so far left when government has not gone far enough that's correct i don't think it's comparable you don't think no like a view of the race example liberal has a lot of examples well well what do you think of that example do you think an all black the warm is a liberal or a leftist idea i think it's a result of racism but there was more racism in the sixty's and you were against black dorms then i liberal view was integration in our remaining let's discuss you funny how did you dennis prager from almighty decide to write a bible. i've been teaching the bible from the hebrew my whole life and.
8:09 am
non jews and jews equally have taken the courses and thousands bought my tapes i have something i know how to make it relevant i just admitted that that's the reason that i'm doing this the bible was america's central book for most of its history today it's ignored i would like to re re center it in american life it's the greatest book ever written but if you just sit down and read it you will know why and i try to explain and give you want to example it says honor your father and mother the severity profound things were told to love god were told to love the stranger and were told to love our neighbor. but we're never told to love our parents because the bible is very sophisticated and understand some children a lot of children just can't love their parents villages kids not dutch still interest normal know even in normal homes but whether you like your parent or not
8:10 am
you have to honor them it's like i stood up when jimmy carter entered my radio studio many years ago i don't like the man i don't like his presidency but i stand up for a president so to you honor your parents even if you don't like them this is a very profound notion do you know there's a crisis in america of adult children who won't speak to a parent it is an epidemic nobody talks about it but i know about a through my radio i escort he and his raise your hand if you know a family in which an adult child refuses to speak to a parent about a third of the hands go up no matter what the audience when you ask them to honor them yes not like them i don't care if that's right it doesn't matter if you like your parents that's your business but god's business is whether you honor them parental authority and role is very important this can relate to politics and anything of co all of it i was at my grandchildren the twins but mitzvah and bar
8:11 am
mitzvah and for first time in a long time i attended a ceremony and read from the old testament right and that god. was a harvard law school much slave the enemies believe in me if you don't believe in me bread god i am going god you will worship me and another right he was an egoist he that's all i mean over your he that is why if you read that book that's why i started with exodus you would have a different understanding of god god the reason that god wants you to only worship him and no other gods why is because if there's one god there's one morality. where is if you have many gods you have many moralities every every society around the jews how child sacrifice and human sacrifice this god comes and says you met you may not sacrifice human beings if there is one god everybody has to listen to him
8:12 am
if he's only the god of the jews and there are many other gods goalkeeper he also is like having your children he says slay enemies you never said slay enemies you find me once where god in the in the torah later afterwards yes and joshua it's a claim yes so that's correct i didn't explain that out of what because. the the god of this bible is the same god who said love your neighbor as yourself love the stranger there was the first time in the in the history of the world people were told to love people who were different from them it is the most frequent law in the torah the first five books love the stranger so for them this is the canaanites were considered particularly evil they were the ones who did child sacrifice and that was the way it was understood you will slay your enemy what is he supposed to say. let them continue sacrificing children i mean i don't i
8:13 am
don't have a perfect answer but the only reason we asked the question is because of that book that book gave us the moral standards to question god is real means fight with god that book is not in our constitution you're right but it our constitution is predicated on that but does that mean it means that every one of the founders and even later lincoln lincoln did not go to church regularly but the the book on his night table was the bible this country is in moral chaos precisely because it's not on people's night tables where in moral chaos we are in laurel chaos yes and when we got to the way we treat women. in that part of a cell with the pens how we treat move it obviously leather was in for a man holds a woman in disgrace so wants to grab her by that that we're that's not moral chaos yes no that's immoral but it's not moral chaos more chaos is when you don't know right from wrong the the fact that i belong to good of course it's wrong yes that's
8:14 am
so i said it's not moral chaos i agree with you both people think it's wrong as it is moral chaos is when. you grow up and think that. that race is important. that that's that's that's a terrible that's a racist notion race is irrelevant i don't know who is or ace the jews are it jews jews or in a nation and not a religious right correct that's right a race. there is a jewish race but i don't honor race i honor you honor jews right but i don't i don't honor race the concept of race is not and anyway it's religion but you can't convert to being black you can convert to being a jew so obviously it's not just a race ok there were black jews white jews but there were no white blacks or asian blacks ok so so it's not comparable moral chaos is when people think that
8:15 am
israel is the villain in the middle east that's moral chaos those people are there but a lot of congress is broken one of you think israel can do wrong things. not not against israel but that they like that they're losing settlements in line bad idea that's fine you it's perfectly legitimate you anti semitic know if there's not a lot no one antis zionist makes un types of medic not critical of his are fine if you ionise the belief that a jewish state can exist the muslim world does not believe the most jewish state can exist and the leftists support them they do yeah well i know a lot of people on the left who don't support its irrelevant the left only relevant . the. you heard of b.d.s. . boycott divestment and sanctions of israel when you isolate the only one state on earth to economically strangle it and that state by coincidence is the only jewish
8:16 am
state in the world i think you have a problem you have a problem with obama but he sold them more weapons than any present all the presidents combined. sold israel more well i don't know about more old presidents combined many true but yes ok so fine by by i didn't my problem with obama was about the rand not about israel. but i think the whole world is feels very bad about iran but we didn't let the they don't the europeans rush to tehran to do business with them it's not true very few people feel bad about iran the israelis do and republicans in america do that's it then as you got to come back again soon pleasure thank you larry fasts always a joy always love her yes his latest book is the rational bible exodus god slavery and freedom and sound now and available everywhere including download thank benenson thank you for joining me on this edition of politicking remember you can join the conversation on my facebook page or tweet me a king's things i love you dennis and don't forget use the politicking hash tag and

8:19 am
me me me me me me me me that's a very rough but i knew so it's rough climates and you have to fight to be able to them if. it was gunshots on top of them and so many friends they would have been making have made and you do not. apply i don't think anything will back up for me you know i don't want to see it but a body in the true and is ready to participate in the good. old to me good wouldn't . you don't think about this you this old coat on no you got three it's like a and you know i do and other patients.
8:20 am
8:21 am
protesting injustice. with. it's not to say it's wrong for them to basically stand up for what they believe in this little girl. we do start with syria where people are slowly getting their lives back in order after years of war against militants and. huge amounts of key infrastructure totally obliterated including important factories and hospitals but the rebuilding is getting underway so we visit some of these sites to see how the job is going. if damascus is serious about to accepting millions of its refugees back home it has some serious rebuilding to do barros villages in small towns like the one over
8:22 am
there in the province of holmes have been completely raised from the face of the earth by the war. that's why factories like this one are crucial most syrian cities have to survive amid a chaotic and unstable power supply we've been told that when anti assad fighters captured this facility they looted it's clean for equipment and left it badly damaged it's fully operational now but lack of power of course isn't the worst that syrians have had to endure lie i swear we were dying of hunger one kilo of bread for one thousand lire you have to eat otherwise you starve to death and i have never had a truly rice and vulgar nothing that says. we were living in hunger and poverty we would wake up in the morning not knowing how to manage to get our daily food
8:23 am
children suffered malnutrition that ten year old girl looked like a two year old. throughout the war some parts of syria have seen well a riff it famine but it would have been much much worse if it wasn't for the incredibly fertile soil and that's why you hear some branches of the trees actually broken under the weight of peaches advanced agriculture and international aid is helping to put food back on people's flate so now with the fighting contained to small pockets syrians can treat themselves to something nice this ice cream plant has even had a go with its own interpretation of the oreo recipe yet all of this is great on paper but doesn't it. delivery trucks have no rule to drive on.
8:24 am
this just over forty kilometers between the cities of holmes and hama a trip that should have taken somewhat thirty minutes would stretch up to six hours to see with this bridge destroyed of commuters had to gamble with their lives taking long detours through g. hardy's territories this newly paved highway has brought the drive back to well under an hour this market in homes. thousand years old it has seen many things in this civil war the worst of those it has survived through and it is hoped that the rest of the country will follow its model. of reporting from syria. now amid the massive reconstruction efforts there is also room for work but these artists right here once lived in a refugee camp near damascus they had to flee of course when it came under attack
8:25 am
over the area and now under government control they've returned to depict the aftermath of the fighting they say they want to leave a record for future generations of what happened at the camp and what they went through. the scandal over donald trump's alleged use of a racial slur her seen a hail of accusations of racism slung at the u.s. president a former aide claims she has a recording of the u.s. president saying a racial slur over this recording has yet to emerge that has not stopped the media rounding on trial for alleged racism. but at the end of the day we don't need a tape to know that donald trump is racist i was at the unite the white rally in washington d.c. on sunday i didn't hear anybody say the n word but i'm pretty sure those guys were still racist we were curious about what he could possibly say that might dispel some of the animosity the black community has toward her after all of these years of her being complicit in trump's clearly racist policies and actions however
8:26 am
the scandal a new poll shows that support for the u.s. president among the black community has almost doubled since last year correspondence america picks up the story. according to this poll trump has more support among african-americans than republican candidates of the past but african-americans are still the most politically homogenous voting bloc consistently voting for democrats robert kanye west who has recently made headlines over his support for trump says that going against this trend makes you a pariah in the community everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me and then told me every time i said i like trump that i couldn't say it out loud or my career would be over i get kicked out the black community because blacks are we're supposed have a monolithic we can only like we can only be democrats though it's unclear whether such statements from black celebrities have a positive effect on donald trump's popularity a leading civil rights group says trump trotting out his black surrogates to woo
8:27 am
voters has little impact as the majority of african-americans disapprove of trump trump strategy of trotting out black people to support him is not working if it is intended to inspire african-american support for him or his policies a majority of black voters say these celebrities have no impact before trump set off on the campaign trail in twenty fifteen black rappers and hip hop artists felt a little differently about him in the ninety's they often mention trump in their music boasting of his wealth. to take that. long to the wee hours to his roughly thirty minute cover for people to feel gays don't. know. anything. so why are african-american starting to think this way we just around to find out do you think african-americans support but you want to guess
8:28 am
a percentage. going to say not a lot of them support. thirty are you kidding thirty six thirty six. not even close to what i thought about. six percent. to actually thirty six percent true are you surprised by that at all. why is that because i don't own any black trump supporters why do you think some african-americans support trump by some i mean one third i'm going to say probably because they thought that he was the best chance for our economy instead of thinking about where we are as socially there is a chance to be heard which hasn't been there before i think those that do probably are looking for from an economic perspective he's a businessman right so more americans including black americans are finding job opportunities and by that i mean it's not just must take one job before you are seeing that there are multiple opportunities people are now getting
8:29 am
a car for themselves or truck for themselves for the first time in so you know and a long time last summer we set a record among americans including black americans who went on vacation for the first time and it looks like we're gonna see another record breaking activity with that in that regard a lot of black americans are experiencing this. prize that they understand it's the policies of president donald trump that they that they accept that they acknowledge and that they're very appreciative of i don't girl from maryland who was reprimanded for kneeling in clos during the national anthem has won the support of hillary clinton a former presidential candidate tweeted that it takes courage to express disagreement with injustice eleven year old mariana taylor hopes more people will join her.
8:30 am
said she was inspired by an american football quarterback who knelt during the national anthem before a game in twenty sixteen to protest against racial inequality and police brutality is sided protests spread among other athletes and this provoked a fiery political debate reaching all the way to the white house would you love to see one of these. when somebody disrespects. to say get that. the field right now. that was not against our anthem or our flag that was actually kneeling is a reference position responding to the girl's move the american civil rights union has always told maryland schools to guarantee students freedom of speech without.
