discuss with a man who has the ear of a lot of conservative voters, and that's talk show host dennis pragerdennis, good to have you on. thank you for coming in. >> good to be back. >> dennis, that video about women, you know, in support of hillary clinton is pretty shocking. you talk to listeners all the time, to a lot of people. how do you think they're going to receive this? >> well, it depends of course who you talk to. if you talk to hillary supporters, you'll get one reaction. if you talk to trump supporters, you'll get another. i'm not a trump supporter. i'm not a hillary supporter. i have -- i opposed the trump nomination. now that he's nominated, if he indeed will be, then i feel i have no chase and i will probably vote for him. however, having said that, i'm no fan of is. nevertheless, the man is an equal opportunity boor, b-o-o-r. he called marco rubio little marco. i mean insulting a man's height. i'm 6'4", so i don't take this personally, but shorter men do take it very seriously. that is what he does. i don't like that aspect of donald trump. but if women want to actually claim

. >>> i want to bring in dennis prager, nationally syndicated talk show host and cnn political commentator bob beckel. unleash the talking heads. can i say talking heads? i guess i can. good evening to both of you. dennis, what about that state department secretary general report say. it says "at a minimum secretary clinton should have surrendered all e-mails before leaving public service and because she did not do so she did not comply with the department's policies implemented in accordance with the federal records act." right now this rule, this rule breaking is not criminal behavior but do you expect to see this go further? >> in terms of an indictment, only god knows and perhaps the head of the fbi or the department of justice specifically. but in terms of politically, it has to go on. if i may take the big picture, we don't have wonderful candidates. i say this with terrible sadness as an american who loves his country. the characters of both are very flawed. the one great difference is that she truly has put her own fortunes above that of her country. you can't say that about trump.

dennis prager, what is on your mind? good opening question and i will answer you completely honestly, what is on my mind? it is not totally germane but quite germane to the 10 commandments, what i believe is the undoing of the american revolution and the decline of my beloved country, the greatest experiment in liberty and decency in human history. i do believe that a big part of
