Summary

The Supreme Court finally declares affirmative action, one of the most counter-productive policies of the last half-century, to be unconstitutional. The Left immediately moves to “the sky is falling” mode… Affirmative Action has caused much more harm than good. The Supreme Court has wisely ended it. Merit should be the only standard... The vote was 6-3, the three leftists on the court dissenting… How long before colleges dream up a new ways to get around this decision?...Dennis talks to Joseph Fornieri, professor of political science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He presents their new PragerU video and the latest installment in our Presidents series. “Franklin Pierce: A Torn President in a Torn Country. Dennis talks to Robert Lighthizer, a member of President Trump’s cabinet as the United States Trade Representative. His new book is No Trade Is Free: Changing Course, Taking on China, and Helping America's Workers.

0:30.6	All right are we good? Hello everybody. I'm in San Antonio, Texas. Zach, you've got to give
0:38.6	me the cue when to go on. We've got Sean is on vacation. So if you hear me talk to Zach,
0:46.0	you'll understand why. Hello everybody. It was a wonderful night with listeners in San Antonio.
0:55.2	Hello. And as a good example of it's not worth worrying. I've done that subject on a couple
1:04.9	of occasions on the happiness hour. And one of my theories on why it's not worth worrying is that
1:13.0	what you worry about at least half the time doesn't actually materialize. So I'll give you my
1:19.9	example. All last week I've been reading about extreme heat in central Texas. And I think of

2:34.1	you worried for no good reason. Well, there's a rather sad story. There are many, obviously.
