Summary
Many people, sadly, only get meaning by destroying what is good. It also brings them excitement... New footage reveals that the bodega owner who killed a man who threatened his life tried to defuse the situation before the deadly fight. Why haven’t the charges against him been dismissed? The worst thing you can say to a leftist is that there was wisdom in the past worth preserving. “Turning back the clock” is a big insult coming from the left… A new theme of the Left: dump the Constitution and start over with a new one… Dennis talks to Kurt Schlichter, senior columnist for Townhall.com. His new book is We'll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America..

| 0:54.8 | Hello, my friends. I'm Dennis Prager, and yes, I hope you had a good weekend. |
| 0:59.8 | I am blessed. My weekends are good. I don't take anything for granted. |
| 1:09.8 | Which makes me think about something just having said I don't take anything for granted. |
| 1:18.4 | By definition, that means I cannot be a leftist. I can be a liberal. I can be a conservative. |
| 1:25.5 | A defining characteristic of the left is taking everything for granted, |
| 1:30.4 | specifically the blessings of America. |
| 1:36.4 | It takes a certain psychopathology to speak of this country as evil. |
| 1:42.6 | It is a psychopathologic. There is no reason in terms of political science, morality, |
| 1:51.6 | sociology to have that attitude toward America. It comes from a psychopathologic place in a person's |
