Does your race fit into a box? Finding the joy of life!

Andrew points to a victory for Donald Trump in the negotiations with the European Union. Trump's stated goal was zero tariffs on both sides. The EU leaders first howled their displeasure, but now have told the White House they are ready to negotiate with that goal in mind!

Andrew's guest is the son of a black father and a Jewish mother. His ex-wife was Mexican. His name is Eli Steele. He is deaf, but communicates using a hearing device. He goes into a public school in L.A. to enroll his son, Jack, and they ask him to designate a primary race. He went to five different schools and got five different answers why he had to check a box. He produced a movie entitled How Jack Became Black. We have people from 180 countries living in America. How do you fit all of them into 5 race boxes?

You can't have God and a sense of your own worth and individuality and then say the state owns everything you make and the state has the power to disburse your wealth. Why do civilizations like Europe die without God? Meaning goes out of life! With God you believe an action can have meaning or it can be actually good or evil. If you feel life is meaningless is it because you have stepped outside and created a meaningless life?
If you are like Richard the third, you will be haunted by conscience. If you are like Lady MacBeth, you will find a world that is meaningless. What happens when you act within the moral universe? Andrew argues that that is where you find the joy of life.
