earlier this year, there was a black conservative summit with bob woodson and shelby spiel and larry elder and one of the things -- a couple of things shelby points out in her book is that in schools, blacks, for some reason, it is not cool to be the smartest kid in the room. it's not cool to learn. it's not cool to compete. when we preach perpetual victimization, there is no way you are going to achieve. we totally ignore merit. the thing larry elder points out is that currently, 70% of all black children that are born every month in america are born without a father. when you look at the asian community for instance, the emphasis on pushing their asian american children to the forefront and be the best even though they may grow up and be immigrants and grew up in poor areas, the message they send to their kids as you can be the best and they also are the best. in the black immunity, we say you are a victim and there's no way you can achieve. i think we've spent trillions of dollars through the great society with all these programs. it's almost insulting the blacks cannot move furth

sparked by the conference in may and old parkland texas that brought together brilliant minds such as bob woodson who is in the room to discuss alternative approaches to tackle the challenges facing americans of all races we will hold our first free conference in birmingham alabama this november 2nd through the fourth bringing together civic, academic, nonprofit business and faith leaders for important discussions on how to implement the lessons we have learned about upward mobility. we aim to uplift agents of agency around the country. people leading by example, combating unhelpful narratives and lighting the way towards lives rich in relationship, health and well-being. this is why i'm so excited to welcome senator tim scott to aei today to talk about the american dream. i can think of few people whose life stories and work reinforce what's needed to move from poverty to prosperity by engaging the core components of agency. just last week senator scott hosted the school choice caucus to discuss ways to empower every single family in america with the resources to decide where, when and how they

we're going to talk about this in the next panel with bob woodson of of a certain even though if you read the real facts, there was no ever was getting along with their brother anything but there was a certain unity and and a purity and an innocence to them, to the movement and to the effort. and then i think what happened in later years, not right then, but over time in the later sixties, it to lose its its glory. and so i am of those who believe that when we went from aspirations for black americans and a recognition of their assets and their qualities of greatness to a rhetoric about black americans that does talk about as victims persistently racism that can never go away that isn't consistent with the movement pre the march and so i don't know that it was a beginning. i think it was a culmination and it was a turning point. but i don't i don't that's how i see it. fred yeah, it's an interesting question. i guess i would also say that it's it's a it's an important turning point. or if we look at the june 11th speech together with the march, if we put those two together and we thi

with tony perkins, news watch, save the nation, christian world news, stark parker, cal thomas, bob woodsonhristian, even in our pulpits they have changed from preaching grace, forgiveness and restoration to retribution, vengeance and social justice. if you are not a christian, not a true believer, these things are offensive to you. because you have a totally different set of rules. a christian's moral values are determined by god. a nonbeliever has exchanged the truth of god for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the creator. host: clifton, new jersey, democrat line. caller: thank you. what happened in hawaii is so outrageous. the people there, they should get rid of all of the people. all of the people who were charged with providing water and fire services. there were so many reports issued and predicting what happens. they asked them, it is their jobs. not only should they get rid of all of them, they should get rid of all of the offices and start anew. that is what those officials quote unquote deserve. they did not do their job. host: that will do it for this morn
