In this brief monologue, Dennis Prager questions why the Teamsters Union has not endorsed any political candidate, suggesting that many members intend to vote for Donald Trump but the union lacks the courage to officially support him. He extends the critique to other labor and advocacy groups—teachers unions, feminist organizations, and Black civil‑rights groups—arguing that they claim to represent their constituencies yet primarily pursue left‑leaning political power and, in his view, fail to deliver tangible benefits for those they represent. The speaker frames unions as self‑interested power brokers rather than genuine advocates for workers, students, women, or Black communities.

So it turns out the Teamsters Union, uh, has not endorsed, uh, any, uh, candidate. Now how is that possible? One of the largest unions. Why would that be? Because so many of their members are going to vote for Trump, but they don't have the courage to endorse Trump. Unions care about workers Like teachers unions care about students. Like feminist groups care about women. Like black civil rights groups cares about blacks. They all care about leftism. They use the group in, in whose name they speak to gain power, but they do nothing good for those groups. What have teachers unions done for your kids other than hurt them?
