plated I you have a column out today 0:12 online Rachel dolezal is all I tell me a little bit about that 0:16 well i i just gonna poking fun at the effect that the 0:20 that she's not about she's not by herself in terms the racial 0:24 bakery homes and then won the senator 0:27 no Elizabeth Warren she said that her ancestry had to do with the 0:32 church turkeys in actually turned out that her father 0:36 what her grandfather was was not a jerky and they both have shewed injure 0:41 Islam and then up then I confess because the 0:45 depend on Letterman Army in 1960 0:48 when I was landing in Corea I I told The 0:52 people that I was caucasian it how well do that 0:55 and older yup well we went back and forth in the 0:59 and the guy say we're what the there was a cheaper one of the reasons why do you 1:03 want but down caucasian as they will look but now negro 1:06 I'll get the worst job over here but 1:09 what what does this conversation and the fact that we're having in 1:13 you know in 2015 what does it say about were country is when it comes to issues 1:18 of race 1:19 why I think it's a sad commentary on our country the racial discrimination and 1:23 racism could have died a well deserved death 1:26 but its main the resurrected by poverty pimps n 1:30 other people who benefit from 1:33 exploiting the the problems that black people facing our country 1:37 now let's talk about the economics of it all 1:40 I you have been very strong in your support a free markets 1:45 tell me about what that means for the african-american community what it means 1:49 for americans 1:50 overall the system that you under President Obama we're currently living 1:54 what I think that the that if so far as black americans have been big concern 1:59 is that their major problem has been with government 2:03 know it was a failure government that account for slavery in the first place 2:07 after emancipation was again the failure of government 2:10 to protect the rights of the and masturbated people 2:14 and then today it's a failure government why black americans are huddled in their 2:19 homes and nine afraid to go in the street and 2:21 and roughly seven thousand blacks are murdered each year 2:24 by blacks again it's a failure in government 2:27 the that accounts for the right medication grossly problem education 2:31 that most black kids 2:32 receive and so so the government has been the enemy 2:37 and in government in general is the enemy of the people 2:40 and the founders our nation recognizes very well 2:43 that is if you just look at the Constitution United States 2:46 you show it shows a deep distrust that the 2:50 founders and framers of the constitution head for the united states congress 2:54 you find terminology lie in the bill writes like Congress shall not infringe 2:58 congress shown that 2:59 disparage Congress shall not prohibit what the founders didn't think that 3:03 comes to do that why would be in there in the first place 3:05 and as i've success and suggests that many people that 3:09 when we die in a fire next destination we see anything like a bill rates we 3:13 know they were in hell 3:14 because the bill rates in heaven would be an affront to God to be saying that 3:18 we can trust God 3:20 but if you look at ed at the at 3:23 at free market the free market has has been pro the common man as 3:28 for the common man the road history and the 3:31 it's the is the wealthy or the 3:33 upper-class whose benefited from government intervention 3:37 so do you think the black community 3:40 gets it because it sounds like you're describing conservative principles but 3:44 do african-americans 3:46 relate to those principles in any way mean by I think black americans have a 3:50 I think a misguided faith a in the 3:53 leadership the up the a black americans and and you see this 3:58 misguided faith is that if you as people like jesse jackson 4:02 and Al Sharpton what's your view on the death penalty they would be against it 4:06 but most black people are for the death penalty 4:09 if you look at abortion most black people are against abortion but the 4:12 so-called black leaders are for abortion 4:15 a.m. the matter fact if you just look at a polo black people 4:19 that they had more in common with the reverend falwell 4:22 then the object jesse jackson in terms of their particular values in 4:27 has that changed under President Obama well 4:30 I i think again that's a a a misguided sense 4:34 love loyalty because black people who voted in ninety five percent of the vote 4:38 for President Obama 4:39 and and if you look at almost any statistical the 4:43 a bird-like welfare it has been the 4:47 stagnant or worse under present no bomb 4:51 and I guess my final question is are conservatives sensitive to the needs of 4:56 those who are impoverished 4:58 in this country because so often you hear democrats are folks on the left 5:02 say well republicans don't get it conservatives don't get it they're not 5:07 for the poor people 5:08 is that true well I'm I don't play I don't think so I 5:12 you look if you if you look at schools just education is one thing 5:16 it seems like the conservatives bar for school choice 5:20 therefore parents being able to get their children at these dangerous 5:25 fraudulent schools but if you look at that 5:28 and Liberal Democrats they're they're guided by the National Education 5:33 Association 5:34 and they are against I get the a school choice 5:38 and so it I think that conservative need to make a little bit more 5:41 update how school choice would benefit 5:45 blacks medivac just easy you know they're 5:48 like him fill out the idli right now about 21,000 people 5:52 on the waiting list for charter schools and 5:55 but the republicans or conservatives would support charter schools where by 6:00 the Liberals 6:01 and Democrats will not alright doctor williams thanks much for taking time 6:05 with me appreciate with thank you 6:07 thank you sir
