Eli Steele

Top of the morning, Dan Proft here.

We had Eli Steele on the other week to talk about his new documentary featuring his father and his father, Shelby Steele's seminal work, White Guilt.

That's the name of the documentary.

It's available on Amazon.

That's what white guilt is, just another race hustle.

It's just as bad as anything that Jesse Jackson Sr. or Al Sharpton does.

Corey Brooks writes of Eli Steele, Though he never advertises it, he is black, Jewish, Native American, and deaf.

He spent three years traveling the country listening to people's stories and putting them on screen.

I did want to recommend folks to watch two things.

Victor had a great interview with Shelby and Eli Steele about their new documentary called white guilt.

The second thing is they should watch white guilt.

I watched it this weekend with my wife.

We'll do the usual things we do at the end.

I have a couple of comments here on thousands that people have sent in this past week.

The first two here relate to your interview with Shelby and Eli Steele.

Gary Harrell writes, three of my favorite people.

It's been my pleasure and honor to do so.

So where are you as Carrie Mendoza and Corey Brooks bring a busload of people from the South Side to New Trier for that documentary by Eli Steele, White Guilt.

It's a great one.

I recommend it for every family.

That's the Chicago way.

As promised, our guest today, Carrie Mendoza, former candidate for lieutenant governor of Illinois, and currently a member of Nutrier Neighbors.

They are presenting on November 5th a film by Eli Steele, and you can go see it and enjoy all the delicious irony of it being screened at Nutrier.

I hope you go, because in a way, it...

Thomas Sowell's ideas have influenced generations of thinkers across politics, economics, journalism, and culture.

In a conversation celebrating Sowell's legacy, Wall Street Journal editorial board member Kimberly Strassel joins UK Conservative Party leader Kami Badenoch, filmmaker Eli Steele, and Hoover Institution veteran fellow Mike Steadman to explore the breadth and depth of Sowell's influence.

The conversation explores Seoul's enduring contributions to debates over race, identity, education, and economic opportunity.

Panelists reflect on Seoul's influence on their own careers, the importance of intellectual independence and personal agency, and the role of books, documentaries, and social media in bringing Seoul's ideas to new audiences.

I've known a long time.

And we're gonna have Eli Steele, who has just done a documentary, White Guilt, built on his father's books and, um, articles and lectures, who has really identified this phenomenon that is central to racial relations for over twenty years.

And Eli, who's a distinguished filmmaker, has put it, um, to film, and it comes out tomorrow, Eli? Or tod- yesterday.

Actually, uh, yesterday.

The, the-

... film's name is White Guilt, and you might see it as Shelby Steele's White Guilt, a film by Eli Steele.

And, uh, in any case, l-l...

It's time for another episode of The Michael Shermer Show.

My guest today, two guests today, Eli Steele is a filmmaker and writer.

He's made over 20 documentaries, including How Jack Became Black, What Killed Michael Brown?, and Killing America.

He's written for The Wall Street Journal, City Journal, Quillette, and other publications, and he's the son of the great Shelby Steele.

He'd be picking up the Billy Club.

I mean, that is just we just had we just had Eli Steele on the program yesterday talking about how racism is the worst thing that you can be called to have to be a white person and to be called racist is horrible.

It's the thing you can never redeem yourself from.

It's the thing that you can never repent enough for.

It's despicable.

Tom is right.

Mike Collins, but he fell into the trap that Eli Steele talked about.

He sounded offensive.

Megyn opens with Matt Taibbi on the Cornell case.

Then Shelby and Eli Steele join to discuss their documentary about white guilt and how race has become weaponized in American life.

Let's start with what Megyn calls a trial by media.

Right, and she's not holding back.

What does she mean by that specifically? She says schools offer confusing messages about sex, autonomy, and responsibility, while college culture encourages experimentation without moral boundaries.

The result is confusion, not growth.

But then the conversation shifts dramatically when Shelby and Eli Steele take over.

Their documentary thesis is striking.
