Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to PragerU founder Dennis Prager about the dangers of political polarization, why he is a former Democrat, and why black workers always do worse under Democrats. First, Dennis explains how he went from a Jimmy Carter-voting liberal to a promoter of conservative values. He explains how the Left no longer believes in science and how he was mocked on "Real Time with Bill Maher" for pointing out that the Left now believes men can menstruate. Dennis also explains the myth of evil Republicans and why his first Republican vote was one of the hardest things he ever did. Finally, Dennis explains how liberal policies like those enacted by Los Angeles County DA George Gascón only make crime and public safety much worse.
