Ep. 346 — Election Integrity: Europe vs. America | Fireside Chat
In recent European elections, there were few concerns about integrity or contested results, unlike in the U.S. Could the lack of voter ID requirements in America, the replacement of paper ballots with electronic voting, and the shift from an election day to an election month suggest potential manipulation? Dennis explores what these contrasts reveal about election security in America.

What Is Juneteenth? Venice Beach vs. South Central | Ami on the Loose

Ami Horowitz visits Venice Beach and South Central, California to explore people’s views on Juneteenth and its place in American history.

Would You Sign a Petition for White-Only Housing? | Man on the Street
Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in America over 150 years ago. With all the progress made in the United States to end racism and advance civil rights, why are some people advocating for resegregation, including black-only dormitories, classrooms, and graduation ceremonies? Aldo asks students at California State University, Northridge if they support segregating universities, starting with housing.

Libby Emmons: A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen | The Book Club

The Post Millennial’s Libby Emmons joins Michael Knowles to discuss this groundbreaking 19th-century play and explore its insights into our intrinsic selfish nature and tendency to lie for self-preservation.

The American Trinity: The Three Values that Make America Great
Nearly every country on Earth is defined by race or ethnicity. Not America. What makes the United States different? Dennis Prager outlines the values that have allowed the American people to flourish and, unlike immigrants almost everywhere else, transformed those who arrived from across the globe into full Americans—regardless of where they were born.
Script:
Race and ethnicity have defined every nation on earth. Except one: the United States of America. It is defined by values.
So, to understand America, you have to understand American values.
They are:
1. “E Pluribus Unum”
2. “Liberty”
3. “In God We Trust.”
I call this “The American Trinity.” I made up the name, but I didn’t make up the values. They are on every American coin.
The first, E Pluribus Unum, is Latin, meaning, “Out of many, one.” When first adopted as an American motto shortly after the American founding in 1776, it referred to the thirteen American colonies becoming one nation. Over time, however, most Americans understood the motto to mean one people from many backgrounds. To quote The E Pluribus Unum Project, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, “Over the years, E Pluribus Unum has also served as a reminder of America's bold attempt to make one unified nation of people from many different backgrounds and beliefs.”
In other words, America doesn’t care about your national or ethnic origins.
This explains why people who immigrate to America assimilate faster and more fully than immigrants to any other country.
Most of those who have immigrated to Europe, from, for example, Turkey – as millions have – are not considered fully German by fellow Germans or fully Swedish by fellow Swedes or fully Spanish by fellow Spaniards. This is even true of the children and grandchildren of those immigrants.
And, just as important, few of those immigrants – or their children or grandchildren – will ever feel fully German, Swedish, or Spanish. But a Turk who immigrates to the United States will be regarded as fully American – as American as any other American – the moment he or she becomes a citizen. And they – and certainly their children – will feel fully American.
Of course, America has not always lived up to this “e pluribus unum” ideal. But the ideal was always there. And it was applied to virtually every immigrant to America.
The second component of the American Trinity is liberty.
Now, you might ask, “Didn’t the French Revolution also enshrine liberty as a central national value? Wasn’t its motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”?

What’s Not Fair about Free Trade? | 5-Minute Videos
What benefits the world economy more: government-imposed trade regulations or the free exchange of ideas and commerce? For Daniel Hannan, president of the Institute for Free Trade, freedom always wins.
Script:
Suppose someone invented a pill that let you live to the age of 120 in perfect health, and then die painlessly.
That pill would put a lot of people out of business. It would be bad news for doctors and nurses. It would be catastrophic for medical insurers. It would throw millions of home care staff out of work.
But would anyone see those as good reasons to ban it?
And would anyone care where the pill had been invented? In their country or someone else’s?
What goes for that pill goes for any other product that would improve our lives. We shouldn’t make things harder to obtain simply on the grounds that they originate somewhere else.
Actually, a lot of people disagree with that idea. Opponents of free trade — and there are many — say things that sound perfectly reasonable. Things like:
“We need to protect our strategic industries!”
“We can’t survive these expanding trade deficits!”
“We must grow our own food!”
“We want trade to be fair!”
“We can’t compete with slave-wage economies!”
All those arguments sound like common sense. But all of them would ban our miracle pill. All of them would leave us poorer.
Let’s take them in order.
Protectionism:
Trade barriers don’t protect industries; they make them inefficient, uncompetitive, and dependent on state handouts.
As Ronald Reagan put it:
“Instead of protectionism, we should call it destructionism. It destroys jobs, weakens our industries, harms exports, costs billions of dollars to consumers, and damages our overall economy.”
Trade Deficits:
There is no correlation between a country’s balance of trade and its economic growth.
The greatest benefit of trade is cheaper imports because they save consumers money that then gets spent on other stuff, which is what drives growth.
If, say, China wants to subsidize its steel production, that’s a gift to our construction workers, our car makers, and our consumers, courtesy of the Chinese state.
Growing your own food:
You know which country leads the world in that? North Korea. It has made self-sufficiency — juche — its ruling principle. Yup, that’s North Korea, the world’s leader in manmade famines.
The way to have secure food – or secure anything — is to source it from the widest possible variety of suppliers. That way you are not at risk from a shock or disruption — which might as easily happen in your own country as anywhere else.
Fair Trade:
The only thing that’s fair is not putting the government’s thumb on the scales. Protectionism by definition, privileges some politically connected lobby over the general population. The way to “protect” our industries is to make them more competitive. And you do that by lowering taxes and cutting regulations.
Competing with lower-wage economies:
That’s what makes poor countries richer — and makes rich countries richer. Lower wages let developing nations compete and let wealthier countries focus on higher-skilled, higher-paying jobs. The iPhone is assembled in China, but the design and the profits are in the USA.
Look at the global impact. As recently as 1981, 40 percent of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty. Today it is 8 percent. 300 people have escaped extreme poverty since you clicked on this video. That’s 300 new arguments for free trade.
So why doesn’t everyone get it?

Brazil: A Cautionary Tale | 5-Minute Videos
A few short years ago, Brazil was a vibrant democracy. Today, following a highly disputed election, it looks much different. Paulo Figueiredo, popular Brazilian media commentator, sees some disturbing parallels between his home country and America.
Script:
There’s a nation I dream about.
I want to live there one day.
It is a representative democracy with three branches of government.
It recently had a populist president who rose to power amidst widespread discontent with the ruling left-wing party.
This populist president began to fix many of this nation’s endemic woes.
Its patriotic spirit flourished.
Its economy boomed.
But the left-wing legacy media hated the man who led this revival.
And the entrenched establishment — government bureaucrats, unions, the educational elite — feared him.
They harassed him throughout his first term in office. They forced him to fend off slander after slander, investigation after investigation. And yet, despite their best efforts to derail him, even impeach him, he advanced his agenda.
When new elections rolled around, the president’s enemies saw their chance. They had a plan. Change the election rules to favor their candidate. It worked.
They won — just barely.
Many of the president’s supporters weren’t convinced, however.
Everywhere they looked, they saw fraud. The election was rigged, they said. Others used a harsher word — stolen.
Upon the new president’s inauguration, tens of thousands protested. Some stormed the capital. Many were arrested; many were thrown in prison.
But the now former president refused to fade away. This infuriated the new left-wing regime. They accused him of inciting the rioters. Using the courts, they tried to bankrupt him, remove him from the ballot, and imprison him — anything to stop him from returning to power.
The nation I have described is… Brazil.
It’s my home country. My roots go very deep. In fact, my grandfather was the President of Brazil from 1979 to 1985.
I was the host of Brazil’s top-rated political TV show. I had 5 million followers on social media. In the election of 2018, I supported the populist candidate Jair Bolsonaro. I supported him again in 2022 against a left-wing opponent, Lula da Silva.
Da Silva, or Lula as he is commonly known, is a committed socialist. He and his party ran the country from 2003 to 2016. During that time, Brazil faced the worst economy in a century. Corruption, which was always a problem, got even worse.
In 2017, Lula was convicted of money laundering and bribery. He was sentenced to 9 years in prison. But in 2021, Brazil’s Supreme Court, which Lula and his allies had packed with leftists, invalidated his conviction.
So now Lula was free to run for office again. Having trashed the country once, he was ready for a second go.
The media and the bureaucracy backed him all the way.
But that wasn’t Lula’s greatest asset. He had control of the electoral process which in Brazil is fully electronic and centralized. The man running this process, Alexandre de Moraes, was a sworn enemy of Bolsonaro.
The fix was in.

The Fallen Soldier | 5-Minute Videos
Others have made the ultimate sacrifice so that you could be free. Remember them—today, and always. A moving tribute, written and narrated by former Navy SEAL and author Jocko Willink.
Script:
I am the fallen soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine.
Remember me.
I am the one that held the line. Sometimes I volunteered. Sometimes I went because I was told to go.
But when the nation called—I answered.
In order to serve, I left behind the family, friends, and freedom that so many take for granted.
Over time, I used different weapons: a sword, a musket, a bayonet, a rifle, a machine gun.
Often, I marched into battle on foot. Other times, I rode to battle on horseback or in wagons; sometimes on trains; later in tanks or Jeeps or Humvees.
In early wars, my ships were made of wood and powered by the wind. Later they were made of steel and powered by diesel fuel or the atom. I even took to the air and mastered the sky in planes, helicopters, and jets. The machines of war evolved and changed with the times.
But remember that it was always me—the warrior—that had to fight our nation’s enemies.
I fought at Lexington and Concord as our nation was born.
I crossed the Delaware on Christmas Day in 1776.
In the Civil War, I fought with my brothers—and against my brothers—at Gettysburg and Shiloh and Bull Run. I learned that we must never again divide.
In World War l, I marched on the Marne and held the line at Belleau Wood. "The war to end all wars," they called it. I just called it "hell."
In World War ll, I fought everywhere: the beaches of Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, the hell of Guadalcanal. I stood against tyranny and kept darkness from consuming the world.
In Korea, I landed at Inchon and broke out of the Chosin Reservoir. They called it "the forgotten war"—but I never forgot.
In Vietnam, I fought in the Mekong Delta, at Khe Sanh and Hamburger Hill. Some say my country wavered. But I did not waver. Ever.
In the recent past, I have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Baghdad, Fallujah, and Ramadi. In Kunar, Helmand, and Kandahar.
As technology advanced, I used night vision goggles and global positioning systems and drones and lasers and thermal optics.
