	Costume and brown face.
	So he's now fired from the editor of Bon Appetit.
	And he agrees with that.
	He agrees he's now going to reflect on his life.
	What is he going to reflect on?
	Has he been a racist the whole time?
	I'm telling you where to live.
	Please read my column today.
	My columns.
	Are important, if I'm allowed to say that about my own writing.
	It's called The Four Horsemen of America's Apocalypse.
	It begins, it takes a lot to build a civilization, and though it is much easier to destroy a civilization, it takes a lot to do that too.
	Now we have four roots of evil that are guaranteed to do so.
	Victimhood.
	Demonization, a cause to believe in, and lies.
	Powerful combination of factors.
	Do you realize that there are people in places of power who advocate defunding police departments?
	Do you know what has happened, of course, and it doesn't seem to matter.
	Talk about lies.
	One of the biggest lies is that the people who run Black Lives Matter believe Black Lives Matter.
	That's one of the greatest lies we're living in.
	It's truly back to the Soviet Union.
	The Soviets had a very big saying, Mir Miru, peace to the world.
	And they were, of course, they were a warlike society, and everything that they said was not true.
	It was backwards.
	America is imperialist and we are peace-loving.
	That was a very common statement.
	So, of course, anything said enough.
	Black Lives Matter is leading a campaign.
	To make it possible for more black people to be killed.
	But since they're killed by other black people in almost every instance, it doesn't matter.
	On, what is it, Chicago this weekend?
	The highest number of murders in Chicago in a weekend took place this past weekend.
	18 people were murdered.
	In Chicago this weekend.
	This is from the Chicago Sun-Times.
	18 murders in, no, weekend, I am wrong.
	24 hours.
	Almost one an hour.
	Inside the most violent day in 60 years in Chicago.
	We've never seen anything like it at all, says Max Kapustin, Senior Research Director at the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
	A hard-working father killed just before 1 a.m.
	A Westside High School student murdered two hours later.
	A man killed amid Southside looting at a cell phone store at 12.30 p.m.
	A college freshman who hoped to become a correctional officer gunned down at 4.25 p.m.
	after getting into an argument in Englewood.
	While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd's murder, I think they should say George Floyd's death.
	The reasons for his death are not just the policemen.
	See, that's an example of a truth that can't be told.
	Because it doesn't fit fully what the narrative is on the left.
	18 people were killed Sunday, May 31st, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades.
	From 7 p.m.
	Friday, May 29th through 11 p.m.
	Sunday, May 31st, 25 people were killed in the city with another 85 wounded by gunfire.
	85. In a city with an international reputation for crime, where 900 murders per year were common in the early 1990s, it was the most violent weekend in Chicago's modern history, stretching police resources that were already thin because of protests and looting.
	We have never seen anything like it at all, said Max Kapustin.
	That was the man that I quoted originally at the crime lab.
	I don't even know how to put it into context.
	It's beyond anything that we've ever seen before.
	The next highest murder total for a single day was August 4th, 1991, when 13 people were killed in Chicago.
	Were they murdered by the police?
	That's why we don't know their names.
	That's why Al Sharpton is not speaking at any of their funerals.
	All of this.
	If somebody were a racist, somebody would advocate what Black Lives Matter advocates.
	That's the irony.
	get rid of police and see what happens.
	I saw...
	I saw on the internet that a 16-year-old daughter of some actress, I don't remember the actress's name, was demonstrating for Black Lives Matter, white girl.
	It starts so early, the indoctrination, like she knows anything about what has happened.
	She just knows the slogan.
	It's a good slogan.
	The left picks great slogans, you have to admit.
	Like the American Civil Liberties Union, which has as much interest in civil liberties as I do in knitting.
	Do you have any interest in knitting?
	You don't either.
	Do you have any interest in knitting?
	Why you're offended by my asking you the question?
	Your masculinity is stronger than that.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	The Dennis Prager Show.
	Live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show. . .
	Welcome.
	I'm talking to my friend Dinesh D'Souza.
	He has a new book out today.
	It's called United States of Socialism.
	Who's behind it?
	Why it's evil?
	How to stop it?
	Young people seem always to be the easy marks for this kind of, marks, no pun intended, easy marks for this kind of thinking.
	That's true.
	I also think that young people will say the Scandinavian model works, but they don't know what the Scandinavian model is.
	So the Scandinavian countries, for example, are capitalist in wealth creation.
	They're socialist in wealth distribution, but they're very careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
	And so you have low corporate tax rates, about 20%, same as in America.
	You have no minimum wage in most Scandinavian countries.
	They have no wealth tax, no inheritance tax.
	You can hire and fire people for any reason.
	Regulations are less than in this country.
	Dinesh, I just have to hit pause for a second.
	Everything you've just said is stunning.
	I mean, the idea that they have low corporate tax rates, low wealth tax.
	I mean, you would never dream that in a country that people think of as socialist, that that would be the case.
	Bernie Sanders is not advertising that.
	No, and in fact, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren want to impose financial transaction taxes on Wall Street.
	Now, there's no Scandinavian country that goes near this.
	The second part of it is they say, look, we can have a generous welfare state, but here's the point.
	Everybody has to pay for it, not just the rich.
	We're not going to go after the billionaires.
	The basic idea is if we have a 50% tax rate and you make $60,000 a year, give us $30,000.
	So in other words, they tax the middle class.

	This is a good country.
	This is a good and decent land.
	And I believe that with all of my heart.
	That doesn't mean we can't do a lot better.
	But it doesn't mean That a sizable percentage of America is bad.
	Evidently, former Vice President Joe Biden and the Democrat presidential nominee thinks a pretty sizable portion of America is bad.
	He had a town hall yesterday, another one of these virtual town halls.
	It feels like every time Biden goes off script, he gets in trouble.
	Do you believe that Up to 15% of Americans are bad people?
	Is that your view of the nation?
	If we're going to start categorizing what percentage is good, what percentage is bad?
	I don't know.
	That doesn't seem like a winning campaign strategy to me.
	Here was Joe Biden yesterday.
	He was with actor Don Cheadle in a virtual town hall.
	Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation?
	I don't think the vast majority of people think that.
	There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15% of the people out there that are just not very good people.
	But that's not who we are.
	The vast majority of people are decent.
	We have to appeal to that and we have to unite people.
	Bring them together.
	That's a heck of a way to unite, Mr. Biden.
	That up to 15% of Americans are not very good people.
	What a unifying message.
	I guess that goes on a campaign slogan?
	15% of Americans are bad?
	Wow.

	Keep up with what's trending.
	All right, everybody.
	Okay.
	A favorite person of mine, Tina Griffin, is the host of the Counter Culture Mom Show.
	The link to her podcast is on my website.
	She's a fighter.
	Tina Griffin welcome to my show again help get people off the bench and in the game I like that imagery.
	Get off the bench.
	Everybody has to be a starter now.
	Absolutely.
	For the sake of our country and the legacy, we want to leave our kids.
	I love what you expose.
	I love how you address these topics.
	I was a farm kid in Wisconsin, went to Hollywood, was heavily involved in pop culture, positive stuff.
	But what I learned during that decade of my film and TV and runway, The indoctrination, what you just tackled 10 minutes ago, is exactly a main factor why we see the teens and young people and adults riding on the truth of America because of what has been pumped into their brain for the last couple of decades.
	And I saw this happening and warning people about this 20 years ago when I lived and worked in Hollywood and heard about their agenda.
	This is not a shocker to me.
	I'm just very alarmed, concerned, but I also know that there is a plan and positive things we can do to combat what is currently happening.
	You are the counterculture mom, so obviously you have a kid or kids.
	How many children do you have?
	I've got four little world changers ranging from 6 to 11 years old that I've been homeschooling now for like the last five or six years.
	That's it.
	That was my next question.
	So tell me what you would tell a parent whose kid comes home to learn that America is a racist cesspool.
	Should they continue to send their kid to that school?
	Absolutely not.
	Now, 10 years ago, I said, get involved in the school board.
	Make sure you help prevent the school from starting on fire.
	We are now in a culture where we see schools on fire crumbling to the ground.
	It is too late, in my book, to put a 10-, 14-, or 16-year-old into school with the argument, well, we're going to send them off into the battlefield and have them fight.
	They know the truth.
	They're going to get their schools on track.
	At this point, no, they're not.
	Right now they're being vaccinated with exactly what you said.
	And there's more corrupt people in leadership positions in our country than not.
	And it's because of a lack of people getting involved in our culture to do the right thing in government and in politics and in media and in our school education system with this common core garbage that's been out there for two decades.
	All the big elites that own all of this.
	Are in charge of telling us one narrative, and so we have to fight back.
	Now, I do see the argument where there's people in leadership doing the right thing, but what happens to these people?
	They're either killed or they're sued or they're threatened to leave their place of leadership.
	So we have to get louder than the left right now, like yesterday.
	Yesterday I said something I had never fully said.
	I've been drifting toward it just as you've been drifting away from, oh, we'll change the system from within.
	I said yesterday that at this point, people who have traditional American values just have to create their own culture and withdraw from the dominant one.
	If you don't agree, please tell me.
	I have no problem.
	Absolutely not.
	I'm right there with you on that.
	And what's been going on in my blood since the age of 16, heading out to Hollywood at the age of 20, learning about pedophilia and baby sacrifice and violent video games and cop-killing video games that have been going into our children's brains for two decades, and you wonder why they're now picking cops off on the street today.
	I feel...
	Horrific.
	Horrible.
	Great cops.
	Cops that we need in our country to maintain order and peace.
	Other bad cops, absolutely.
	There's always going to be a bad cop.
	There's always going to be a doctor that does the wrong medicine or wrong surgery in a hospital.
	Mistakes happen.
	What happened to George Floyd was horrendous.
	No one agrees with his killing.
	But my whole point is...
	We have been letting our kids, literally not engaging as parents for the last three decades, really, and letting our kids learn how to pick up cops in video games, run people over with vehicles, buy and sell drugs, strip club joints on these video games, and then TV shows like Netflix where you have real witches, real witches, Dennis, which I'm sure you're aware, that are hired on these movie sets.
	Alright, hold it there.
	I have a lot of questions I want to ask you.
	You can get to her podcast.
	There's a link to it.
	TinaGriffin at DennisPrager.com You can link to ReliefFactor at ReliefFactor.com I ask myself every day, why would someone who has pain not give it a try?
	And it's hard for me to believe it's the $19.95 for the three-week quick start.
	I think most of you, the vast majority of you, can afford that.
	Some of you may not be having any income now, and I certainly, you know how angry I am on your behalf.
	But otherwise, please give it a try.
	three weeks you'll know if it works relieffactor.com we know this is only temporary We know it can't go on like this forever.
	We have to keep focusing on the future and get through this thing day by day.
	But when it ends, the sun will come out.
	Jobs will start up again.
	The traffic jam we used to hate will come back.
	Thank God for cars.
	So many things we took for granted are going to be so special.
	We'll get through this because we have each other.
	And we have this radio station.
	We are the answer.
	We are the answer.
	Trending now on the Larry Oller Show.
	How can these people out there in the streets not know, according to the CDC, that police killings of blacks have dramatically declined over the last 45 years by almost 75%.
	How can you not know that?
	How can you not know of a peer-reviewed study in a publication put out by the National Association of Sciences?
	In which every single police shooting in the year 2015 was examined, and they could not find any evidence whatsoever of disproportionate deadly force used against blacks.
	And then, of course, there's a smaller study by the Harvard economists I told you about.
	Not only did he not find that they used disproportionate deadly force against blacks, but that they were more hesitant, more reluctant to use deadly force against blacks than against whites.
	More whites are murdered by blacks than blacks are murdered by whites.
	How can you not know that?
	Now again, as I said many times, most murder is same-race murder.
	But to the extent that there are interracial black-white homicides every year, about 750, how can you not know that blacks kill 500 whites, even though blacks are 13% of the population, and whites kill 250 blacks, even though they're around 61% of the population?
	How can you not know that?
	And you're out in the streets making all these assertions?
	What you're doing is making things worse.
	You're creating an image of the police department that's going to make people not want to join it, and you're causing the so-called Ferguson effect that Rahm Emanuel talked about, where he said the police in Chicago have rolled themselves up into a fetal position for fear of being accused of being racist.
	Well done, Black Lives Matter.

	The recent events across America have reminded citizens that freedom, peace, and safety are fragile things.
	The death of George Floyd in Minnesota calls for justice through our system of due process.
	The officer who suffocated Floyd had numerous citations for bad conduct.
	Unfortunately, police unions make it very hard to remove bad cops.
	Following Floyd's death, peaceful protests were held, but then depraved rioting, looting, and destruction unfolded.
	In the midst of this lawlessness, the group that calls itself Antifa has wreaked havoc.
	Antifa is evil, a movement of nihilism cloaked in the tones of liberation.
	Thankfully, President Trump labeled Antifa a domestic terrorist group, one of the more important...
	Antifa is evil, a movement of the people who have been in the midst of this lawlessness.
	Tina Griffin, former actress and one of the fighters out there to preserve America, its liberty, its values.
	And I strongly recommend that you do.
	I have one question for you that I don't know the answer to.
	Sometimes people ask questions.
	They have an answer in their own mind and they want the guest to give their answer.
	I don't have an answer in my own mind.
	Is it hard to homeschool a child?
	Great question.
	And Dennis, for me being not a patient person and having four children in four years and still traveling, speaking, having a radio program, writing books and blogs and everything else, it absolutely is not.
	As hard as I thought it would be.
	Sam Sorbel is a dear friend of mine.
	I thought about putting my kids in public school, and I did for one month just when I moved from Missouri to Nashville, and she and I spoke at the same event one weekend.
	She's like, you did what?
	I said, you know what, Sam?
	You're so right.
	Why am I... I know that I was able to easily tackle the homeschooling.
	Is it difficult some days and you want to quit?
	Yes, but I'm a fighter, and...
	Like one of my friends who is also a homeschool mom, she said, Tina, the worst day in homeschooling your kids will always still be better than the best day in a public school.
	And she couldn't be more correct on that statement because of what information your kids are ingesting.
	I'm a perfectionist, and so I want to make sure that I don't mess up their reading.
	I don't want them to be 10 years old still not reading.
	That was not a problem.
	All my kids are excelling.
	In their subjects, just because they're going at their own pace, they're not held back by other kids in the classroom.
	With the drama we're already seeing happening in Europe with six feet apart for these kids going back to school and they can't talk or hang out or even play on the same football team, they're not letting people even pass a ball to each other on the playground.
	That is communism.
	And there's no way I would ever send my kid to a public school from this day forward just from what we see coming down the line.
	And is it Easy to homeschool your kids.
	There's days, like I said, you want to quit, but it's definitely, definitely doable, very rewarding because the time we have other kids is so short.
	And I have people, when I go see places that don't homeschool and say, I don't know if I could do it.
	I'll just teach them the right information once they're off the school bus.
	I said, hang on a second.
	So for 10 days, you're letting your kids learn that they came from a rock, how to put a condom on.
	At the age of 10, they're having condom relay races in their sex ed classes in the country.
	And then you're going to spend, what, 45 minutes to try to deprogram the lies they were just taught, even on the school bus on that hour drive to and from school?
	Most parents don't even spend more than 10 minutes checking out their kids' backpacks, having a deep conversation about checking out their textbooks, what they read, the classes that they had, what the instructor said.
	There's no way you can combat what they're learning in schools.
	And for the argument of the parent saying, well, my kid's going to be a light in a dark place, you are basically telling the child at 10 years old, here's your backpack, here's your lunch, I'm going to throw you all into World War III, getting shot at from the enemy 24-7, good luck, I'm praying for you, as I hide behind this rock.
	Most people at 30 can't fight.
	You expect a kid to tend to?
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely not.
	So we have to homeschool.
	I think this is a blessing in disguise with a chance to set that parenting button again.
	Alright, CounterCultureMom.com.
	We'll talk again.
	Keep fighting.
	And we need you.
	Dennis, thank you so much.
	If I could tell the parents to download our CounterCultureMom app, that is where we have thousands of positive entertainment options for the families from the Action Bible.
	Pure Flix that has thousands of positive TV shows, cooking shows for the kids, how to talk to your teens about what is currently going on regarding racism in our culture from a good perspective.
	That is what they need to download as the Counter Culture Mom app.
	And we also have a lot of specials on our website.
	I have a four-hour CD series exposing the Hollywood agenda and teens are texting me, Dennis, saying, this has changed my life.
	That they can get for 15% off by putting in the code at the end, TINA15. You can also sign up for our newsletter.
	So everyone keep in touch with me, Dennis.
	I love what you're working on, and I greatly appreciate the time that we have today to expose what the Hollywood agenda is all about.
	It's all towards demoralizing our country.
	That's right.
	Literally and figuratively, that's exactly right.
	All right.
	Superb.
	Superb.
	I've got to bring fighters to your attention.
	Tina Griffin is one of them.
	So counterculturemom.com.
	She has an app.
	You can go through my website.
	I am a fighter, and so I have been ambivalent.
	Do we work within the system?
	There's no chance now.
	The system has been corrupted.
	That's why I started the show today by telling you about the cancel culture at the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer.
	Bon Appetit!
	You know, Drew Brees is the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints.
	He's a big, big star.
	So listen to what he said.
	When did he say this?
	In June?
	Is that possible that he just said?
	No.
	When did he say this?
	He said this just a week ago?
	I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.
	Talking about the not standing, taking a knee.
	Did you see the picture of the Democratic leaders in Congress taking a knee?
	You know, there was an officer.
	I wonder if you saw this, folks.
	I saw it on the internet.
	A black officer, I don't remember in which city, was asked to take a knee and he said, was it Georgia?
	I only bend my knee to the Lord or to God.
	As a Jew who sent me that, that's exactly right.
	And ask God.
	God, God.
	And I keep asking.
	But what about what people...
	I only beat for one.

	The U.S.-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult content model, provided data from multiple studies on COVID-19, co-authored by its chief executive, so far has failed to adequately explain its data or methodology.
	Parsani points out partisans have been rooting against hydroxychloroquine for months now.
	There's really no other way to describe the manic reaction to a drug that has been widely...
	A couple of weeks ago, Biden compared taking hydroxychloroquine to drinking bleach, even though millions of Americans take hydroxychloroquine every day to survive.
	Well, now we know, according to National Review, The thousands of hospitals around the world relied on surgesphere data to make determinations about treatment and studies.
	The World Health Organization, the organization I'm assured we must continue funding, halted clinical trials.
	Right?
	Well, guess what the World Health Organization has now done?
	They've reversed course, they've resumed studies, and we've...
	Two weeks ago.
	I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.
	Let me just tell what I see or what I feel when the National Anthem is played and when I look at the flag of the United States, I envision my two grandfathers who fought for this country during World War II, one in the Army and one in the Marine Corps, both risking their lives to protect our country and to make our country and this world a better place.
	So every time I stand with my hand over my heart, Looking at that flag and singing the national anthem, that's what I think about, and in many cases, that brings me to tears, thinking about all that has been sacrificed.
	Not just those in the military, but for that matter, those throughout the civil rights movement of the 60s, and all that has been endured by so many people up until this point.
	And is everything right with our country right now?
	No, it is not.
	We still have a long way to go, but I think...
	What you do by standing there and showing respect to the flag with your hand over your heart is it shows unity.
	It shows that we are all in this together, we can all do better, and that we are all part of the solution.
	Really, really offensive, isn't that?
	Well, next hour I will read to you what he has now said.
	We are living through a less violent version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, where if you say anything that the left doesn't like, you must recant and you must debase yourself, and you must completely dissociate yourself from everything you said.
	And that's what he had to do.
	I will also speak to you And take calls that you have.

	How to stop it?
	Young people seem always to be the easy marks for this kind of, marks, no pun intended, easy marks for this kind of thinking.
	That's true.
	I also think that young people will say the Scandinavian model works, but they don't know what the Scandinavian model is.
	So the Scandinavian countries, for example, are capitalist in wealth creation.
	They're socialist in wealth distribution, but they're very careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
	And so you have low corporate tax rates, about 20%, same as in America.
	You have no minimum wage in most Scandinavian countries.
	They have no wealth tax, no inheritance tax.
	You can hire and fire people for any reason.
	Regulations are less than in this country.
	Dinesh, I just have to hit pause for a second.
	Everything you've just said is stunning.
	I mean, the idea that they have low corporate tax rates, low wealth tax, I mean...
	You would never dream that in a country that people think of as socialist, that that would be the case.
	Bernie Sanders is not advertising that.
	No, and in fact, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren want to impose financial transaction taxes on Wall Street.
	Now, there's no Scandinavian country that goes near this.
	The second part of it is they say, look, we can have a generous welfare state, but here's the point.
	Everybody has to pay for it, not just the rich.
	We're not going to go after the billionaires.
	The basic idea is if we have a 50% tax rate and you make $60,000 a year, give us 30.
	So in other words, they tax the middle class.

	The recent events across America have reminded citizens that freedom, peace, and safety are fragile things.
	The death of George Floyd in Minnesota calls for justice through our system of due process.
	The officer who suffocated Floyd had numerous citations for bad conduct.
	Unfortunately, police unions make it very hard to remove bad cops.
	Following Floyd's death, peaceful protests were held, but then depraved rioting, looting and destruction unfolded.
	In the midst of this lawlessness, the group that calls itself Antifa has wreaked havoc.
	Antifa is evil, a movement of nihilism cloaked in the tones of liberation.
	Thankfully, President Trump labeled Antifa a domestic terrorist group, one of the more important domestic decisions thus far of his presidency.
	Attorney General William Barr publicly reinforced this stance.
	In riled times, we seek freedom, peace, and safety.
	And we seek justice.
	Justice in Floyd's case, and justice to end Antifa's reign of terror.

	This is a good country.
	This is a good and decent land.
	And I believe that with all of my heart.
	That doesn't mean we can't do a lot better.
	But it doesn't mean that a sizable percentage of America is bad.
	Evidently, former Vice President Joe Biden and the Democrat presidential nominee thinks a pretty sizable portion of America is bad.
	He had a town hall yesterday, another one of these virtual town halls.
	It feels like every time Biden goes off script, he gets in trouble.
	Do you believe that up to 15% of Americans are bad people?
	Is that your view of the nation?
	If we're going to start categorizing what percentage is good, what percentage is bad, I don't know, that doesn't seem like a winning campaign strategy to me.
	Here was Joe Biden yesterday.
	He was with actor Don Cheadle in a virtual town hall.
	Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation?
	I don't think the vast majority of people think that.
	They're probably anywhere from 10 to 15% of the people out there that are just not very good people.
	But that's not who we are.
	The vast majority of people are decent.
	We have to appeal to that and we have to unite people.
	Bring them together.
	That's a heck of a way to unite, Mr. Biden.
	That up to 15% of Americans are not very good people.
	What a unifying message.
	I guess that goes on a campaign slogan?
	Uh, 15% of Americans are bad?

	The U.S.-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult content model, Provided data from multiple studies on COVID-19, co-authored by its chief executive, so far has failed to adequately explain its data or methodology.
	Harsanyi points out partisans have been rooting against hydroxychloroquine for months now.
	There's really no other way to describe the manic reaction to a drug that has been widely, though anecdotally, said to have therapeutic value against coronavirus.
	Politicians have blocked attempts to study the drug.
	The number of shoddy pieces of journalism surrounding hydroxychloroquine, he writes, is just remarkable.
	A couple of weeks ago, Biden compared taking hydroxychloroquine to drinking bleach, even though millions of Americans take hydroxychloroquine every day to survive.
	Well, now we know, according to National Review, that thousands of hospitals around the world relied on surgesphere data to make determinations about treatment and studies.
	The World Health Organization, the organization I'm assured we must continue funding, halted clinical trial.
	Right?
	Well, guess what the World Health Organization has now done?
	They've reversed course, they've resumed studies, and we very well may learn that hydroxychloroquine is helpful in mitigating the damage that coronavirus does.

	you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you - My friends,
	I'm Dennis Prager. I'm Dennis Prager.
	I read to you Drew Brees is the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints statement, a beautiful statement, just two weeks ago, not even two weeks ago, on why he didn't support people taking a knee in the NFL, not standing for the National Anthem.
	So I want to deal with this for a moment because I know the reactions.
	I know the defense of those who do.
	They're not disrespecting the flag.
	They're just bringing attention to racism and police brutality.
	So I want to answer that claim.
	It needs to be answered rationally and morally.
	I believe that the people who say that, are often sincere.
	We don't mean to disrespect the flag or the national anthem or the country.
	We just want to bring attention to racism and police brutality.
	Okay.
	The fact that you believe that that's what you are doing doesn't mean that's what you're doing.
	We live in a culture, it happened, there was the last call yesterday, it was a black caller, and it was something, I don't remember the details, but it was something about, you know, this is how I feel, and that's what the defense of those who do this is.
	They are not feeling anti-flag, they're feeling anti-racist and anti-police.
	When people engage in actions, how they feel about their action is of minimal significance, especially public actions.
	There are nudists, correct?
	Thank you.
	Now, if you're in San Francisco, where I'm sure they'll pass a law allowing for nudity.
	It missed by one vote a few years ago.
	Now, if you are someone who believes in public nudity, and there are such people, that's the way we were made, it's just natural, it's not necessarily sexual, I know all their arguments.
	But for most people in society, you're not wearing any clothing is a problem.
	That you don't mean to, as it were, stick your finger in the eye, your fingers in the eyes of society, doesn't mean you are not doing so.
	Not to mention, we don't need children to see genitalia.
	So this notion, it's the narcissism of our age, the age of feelings, as I've called it for decades.
	The fact that when you don't stand for the national anthem, your primary issue is not disrespect for the flag, doesn't mean a damn thing.
	People stand for the flag, and for whatever reason you are deciding not to, you aren't.
	That's disrespectful.
	The narcissism of the argument, oh, I don't mean it to be disrespectful, is beyond belief that people take that argument seriously.
	An entire stadium, 50,000 people are standing for the National Anthem, and you, self-important person, you decide not to.
	But hey, don't say I'm disrespectful.
	It's mind-boggling that people take this argument seriously.
	And Drew Brees apparently took the argument seriously.
	Oh, I heard my fellow NFL players who were explaining to me, oh, it's not at all against the flag.
	So why did you pick the time when everybody's standing for the flag to not stand?
	It's...
	I'm almost speechless at the...
	Inanity of the argument.
	50,000 people are standing for the flag.
	I'm not, but I'm not disrespecting the flag.
	I'm just talking about racism and police brutality.
	And I'm not even talking about, I don't find your message coherent.
	This country is not racist, and police brutality is wildly overstated with regard to racial issues.
	The police are tough on a whole host of people.
	A young woman who worked for PragerU had such an experience with the police recently.
	It was an unfortunate and difficult experience.
	She's not black.
	And you know what?
	It's pretty damn tough to be a cop.
	and to get it right all the time, why don't you become a cop?
	It's almost incredible that people take that argument seriously.
	Thank you.
	Three of us, four of us, won't stand with 50,000 people for the flag, but don't you think for a moment that we're disrespecting the flag?
	No.
	We're showing respect for the flag by not standing with 50,000 other people.
	Yep.
	So what happened to Drew Brees?
	I read you his statement, his original statement.
	And now listen to what he says.
	I would like to apologize.
	This is just like a week later.
	I would like to apologize to my friends, teammates, the city of New Orleans, the black community, NFL community, and anyone I hurt with my comments yesterday.
	Oh, it was the next day.
	The next day.
	In speaking with some of you, it breaks my heart to know the pain I have caused.
	This is it.
	This is the Cultural Revolution, American style.
	You may not say anything that the left does not agree with.
	Your life is ruined.
	And you must recant, in the most obsequious way possible, self-debasing, groveling.
	He apologized to my friends.
	His friends differed?
	What kind of friends are that?
	Gee, Drew, it's not disrespectful to the flag to be the only person in the stadium not standing.
	Nah, you're honoring the flag by not standing with everybody else.
	See, I told you, on the left, up is down, down is up, blue is green, green is yellow.
	Not standing with everybody else honors the flag.
	Get it?
	The city of New Orleans.
	He offended the city of New Orleans.
	Nobody in New Orleans agreed with his comments.
	What a unified city.
	Teammates.
	The black community.
	I love this.
	The black community.
	All blacks think what he said was wrong.
	All the blacks covered by the New York Times.
	All the blacks covered by CNN. They don't cover Candace Owens, Larry Elder, and so many others.
	And anyone I hurt with my comments.
	In speaking with some of you, it breaks my heart to know the pain I have caused.
	What about the pain they have caused?
	Precisely for the reasons you said, because you had two grandfathers.
	Who risked their lives for that flag?
	They don't cause pain?
	Only you, Drew?
	Drew Brees caused pain?
	I feel bad for the guy.
	I'm not knocking him.
	I'm just telling you what goes on in America in the year 2020. The Dennis Prager Show.
	Live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	How can these people out there in the streets not know, according to the CDC, that police killings of blacks have dramatically declined over the last 45 years by almost 75%.
	How can you not know that?
	How can you not know of a peer-reviewed study in a publication put out by the National Association of Sciences?
	In which every single police shooting in the year 2015 was examined, and they could not find any evidence whatsoever of disproportionate deadly force used against blacks.
	And then, of course, there's a smaller study by the Harvard economists I told you about.
	Not only did he not find that they used disproportionate deadly force against blacks, but that they were more hesitant, more reluctant to use deadly force against blacks than against whites.
	More whites are murdered by blacks than blacks are murdered by whites.
	How can you not know that?
	Now again, as I said many times, most murder is same-race murder.
	But to the extent that there are interracial black-white homicides every year, about 750, how can you not know that blacks kill 500 whites, even though blacks are 13% of the population, and whites kill 250 blacks, even though they're around 61% of the population?
	How can you not know that?
	And you're out in the streets making all these assertions?
	What you're doing is making things worse.
	You're creating an image of the police department that's going to make people not want to join it and you're causing the so-called Ferguson effect that Rahm Emanuel talked about where he said the police in Chicago have rolled themselves up into a fetal position for fear of being accused of being racist.

	We've been told for at least...
	Six weeks now that the only way that we can come out of this in any semblance of getting back to normal is this V-shaped recovery.
	We have this precipitous, voluntary, voluntary drop because, as you said, we literally shut down the most powerful economy in the world.
	And as a result, what we need to see is a concordant and analogous A very, very steep recovery.
	Don't the figures today indicate that that V-shaped recovery?
	You're the expert, Trish, that that V-shaped recovery is, in fact, possible?
	Yeah.
	I mean, I think that's the glimmer of hope, right, that we have right now.
	And let me tell you, if you can pull that off.
	Seb, you give people that economic security again.
	And wow, I mean, he will be applauded for that.
	If you have the economic security and the physical security, because don't forget, this is what we're dealing with right now, too.
	You don't have that physical security.
	If you can give those two things to people, I mean, I think that that really affects the middle of the road voter.
	They wanna feel economically and physically secure.

	And that's why, you know, it's a huge win for us.
	I think it's a huge win for you.
	It's a huge win for us.

	Hi, everybody.
	Thank God for talk radio.
	They don't have it in Europe.
	They don't have this in Canada.
	There you really only hear the left.
	And the world of the left is the world of the lie.
	That America is a racist country is a lie.
	It's a gigantic lie.
	That police racist brutality is...
	Widespread is a lie.
	Systemic injustice because of color is a lie.
	Black Lives Matter?
	Of course Black Lives Matter.
	There's no question about that.
	But it's a lie that Black Lives Matter care about Black lives.
	I gave you the statistics from those killed.
	Did Black Lives Matter issue a statement about those killed a couple of weekends ago?
	The biggest slaughter date, how many in 24 hours?
	18?
	18 murdered in Chicago in 24 hours.
	Last day, I think it is of May.
	Black Lives Matter only when the life is taken.
	By a white.
	Now, since almost no black lives are taken by whites, but a great number of white lives are taken by blacks, they concentrate on police.
	But that's very rare as well.
	Very, very rare.
	But truth is not an issue.
	It's all emotion and hate-driven.
	Drew Brees made a comment, which was beautiful, about why he is against not standing for the National Anthem.
	He retracted it the next day.
	Apologize to my friends, teammates, the city of New Orleans, the black community, NFL community, and anyone I hurt with my comments yesterday and speaking with some of you, it breaks my heart to know the pain I have caused.
	In an attempt to talk about respect, unity, and solidarity centered around the American flag and the national anthem, I made comments that were insensitive.
	I read to you his comments while it was insensitive.
	That's what he wants.
	Respect, unity, and solidarity centered around the American flag and the national anthem.
	Why wouldn't we want that?
	Why is that now a symbol of hatred?
	Because the left is effective.
	Anyway, I don't know what he could do.
	What is he going to do?
	Be a quarterback on a team where people think that you're defending racism?
	What is he going to do?
	Yeah, I apologize again.
	He'll keep apologizing forever, of course.
	He's going to probably take a knee.
	That'll be interesting to see if Drew Brees takes a knee.
	Anyway, I'll tell you this.
	It would be...
	I know it's not going to happen because people don't have...
	People are not fighters.
	But if you're a fighter and you have NFL tickets...
	And there are guys taking the knee, or there are guys telling you that whites are racist.
	Why would you go to the game and cheer for people who think you're scum?
	Tell me.
	Why are you allowed to be directly insulted in the worst way possible?
	And that's not insensitive.
	Calling whites racist.
	Why is that not insensitive?
	Saying let's stand for the flag, oh, that's insensitive.
	All whites are racist.
	That's not insensitive.
	Get it?
	This is the crap that we are supposed to accept as truth.
	As moral truth, not just truth.
	I made comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark on the issues we are facing right now as a country.
	They lacked awareness and any type of compassion or empathy.
	Instead, those words have become divisive and hurtful and have misled people into believing that somehow I am an enemy.
	This could not be further from the truth and is not an accurate reflection of my heart or my character.
	This is where I stand.
	I stand with the black community in the fight against systemic racial injustice.
	So the guy went from honoring the flag to this country is one of systemic racial injustice.
	And police brutality.
	So Drew Brees has joined the hate police crowd.
	Why is that not insensitive?
	Why doesn't he meet with 50 policemen in New Orleans?
	It's so phony.
	The whole thing's phony.
	It's fraudulent.
	It's kabuki theater.
	It's left-wing kabuki theater.
	Support the creation of real policy change that will make a difference.
	I condemn the years of oppression that have taken place throughout our black communities and still exist today.
	Really?
	Whites are oppressing blacks today?
	Oppression.
	It's like the girls who come up to the microphone at college speeches I give and tell me they're oppressed.
	Because of misogyny and sexism in America.
	I acknowledge that we as Americans, including myself, have not done enough to fight for that equality or to truly understand the struggles and plight of the black community.
	All people like Drew Brees are doing now is setting back the cause of helping blacks in the ways that black conservatives know are the only ways that will work.
	Reconstitute the black family.
	Smash gangs.
	Have fathers in these kids lives so that they don't join gangs to begin with, where they'll find male models.
	Okay, so that's it.
	Then we should another apology in a video message posted on Instagram.
	What did I say?
	Instagram.
	Step by step, you will see my heart for exactly what it is and the way everyone around me sees it.
	Can you imagine if Drew Brees, who certainly can retire, and would just say, you know what?
	I'm sorry that my teammates think that somehow my honoring the flag of the United States of America is insulting to them.
	So, obviously, it's not going to be a really good working relationship.
	So, my grandparents were asked to risk their lives for this flag and this country.
	I'm not being asked to risk my life.
	I will simply give up this profession at this time.
	Can you imagine that?
	Can you just imagine that?
	Maybe my next column is what Drew Brees should have said.
	Then he really would have honored his grandparents.
	It is amazing though, isn't it?
	He's insensitive to the black community.
	Like, first of all, like all blacks think this country is racist.
	It's an insult to blacks.
	But why isn't his apology an insult to his grandparents and the police?

	A chilling headline ran over Easter weekend from CNN. Louisville police officers to record license plate numbers of Easter weekend churchgoers.
	Over the course of this pandemic, I've argued that churches should follow generally applicable shelter-in-place orders, that these orders and guidelines do not violate religious liberty.
	Indeed, we ought to comply with him out of love of neighbor.
	But if policies single out churches and religious groups, it becomes an entirely different issue, an unconstitutional violation of religious liberty.
	Over the course of the last several weeks, some government officials have crossed the line.
	In the case of Louisville, it took a restraining order from United States District Court Judge Justin Walker to curtail Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher's attempt to prevent even drive-in church gatherings.
	The judge said, quote, the mayor's decision is stunning and it is beyond all reason unconstitutional.
	Consider this.

	Now they've added the words, defund the police, which they say they fear you will now remove.
	Is that right?
	We certainly are very proud of the D.C. mural that we commissioned and our Department of Public Works and local artists installed.
	It is an affirmative piece of art, a centering piece of art, where people from around the globe have called us and thanked us for acknowledging black humanity and black lives in the most important city in the world.
	And we are very proud of it.
	But will you take out the part that says defund police?
	Well, it's not a part of the mural, and we certainly encourage expression, but we are using the city streets for city art.
	In other words, that will go away.
	You will paint over that.

	I knew it from the beginning, the hysteria.
	There's been hysteria over COVID. There's hysteria over police brutality.
	COVID exists, police brutality exists, but it doesn't mean that the reactions are coherent.
	So anyway, Biden said in the middle of this address, just happened to catch it, something to the effect, this is the new line, we need to live in America where a black person does not fear that he will be killed that day.
	Does he speak about the inner city and killed by a fellow black?
	No, he's not speaking about that.
	He's talking about the police.
	That's the point.
	There is such a fear in the inner city.
	Funny, if you talk about where blacks really are suffering, you're a racist.
	If you talk about blacks where they're really not suffering, where it's minimal, then you're pro-black.

	We've been told for at least six weeks now that the only way that we can come out of this in any semblance of getting back to normal is this V-shaped recovery.
	We have this precipitous, voluntary, voluntary drop because, as you said, we literally shut down the most powerful economy in the world.
	And as a result, what we need to see is a concordant and analogous, very, very steep recovery.
	Don't the figures today indicate that that V-shaped recovery, you're the expert, Trish, that that V-shaped recovery is, in fact, possible?
	I mean, I think that's the The glimmer of hope, right, that we have right now.
	And let me tell you, if you can pull that off, Seb, you give people that economic security again, and wow, I mean, he will be applauded for that.
	If you have the economic security and the physical security, because don't forget.
	We're dealing with right now, too.
	You don't have that physical security.
	If you can give those two things to people, I mean, I think that that really affects the middle of the road voter.

	Never in doubt, frequently wrong, as we say.

	Dennis Prager, hi.
	Mr. Prager?
	Yes.
	Hi, good afternoon, Mr. Prager.
	Hi.
	I wanted to say a concern in Black Lives Matter.
	The word some should be put in front of black.
	Some Black Lives Matter.
	That's a very good response.
	And I want to tell you a story about, there's a lady from Chicago.
	I'll say her name so you can look her up.
	Miss Shirley Chambers.
	And in the space of 18 years, she lost all four of her children to gun violence.
	Oh my God.
	Oh my God.
	And you won't hear her story because this is a black woman with black children who were killed by black people.
	So her story doesn't fit the narrative.
	That's right.
	And this goes on every day in this country.
	You're a black woman?
	Yes, I am.
	How do your relatives react to you?
	Well, some of them think I'm crazy.
	But I have a sister who, you know, we're similar in thinking.
	And her thinking changed in 2008. I got her into watching Fox and not seeing it anymore.
	And it changed after that.
	But I'm considered, you know, a weirdo by my family.
	Do you have children?
	I don't.
	First of all, I'm not married, so that's why I don't have any children.
	Right.
	How conservative of you.
	No, I'm more of a Republican.
	Republican, Republican.
	I hear you.
	Where do you live in New York City?
	I live in Queens.
	And I'm originally from the islands.
	And I've been weeping for America since coronavirus when I saw how Americans gave up their rights in the name of safety.
	You're good.
	You're good!
	We need more of you, needless to say.
	You know, it's very interesting.
	All good.
	I'm preoccupied with goodness.
	And all good has come from individuals.
	The masses don't do good.
	Now, people who don't follow the herd also do bad.
	I understand that.
	But good is done by people who buck the trend.
	That's the way it is.
	The conservative or Republican black is a courageous individual.
	It's a special thing.
	The Jewish conservative, it's not as risky as black conservative, but it's...
	I'm a Jewish conservative, and I know what that means.
	Judaism is conservative.
	That's the irony.
	Every value that I know of in conservatism is mainstream Jewish value.
	I've written an introduction to Judaism.
	I wrote it 40 years ago, and it's still one of the best-selling introductions to Judaism ever written.
	I have a Bible commentary out, two volumes, third volumes coming out next year, called The Rational Bible.
	I mean, I know my Judaism.
	I'll just give you one example that Christians should know as well as Jews, and most don't know.
	You know there's only one law in all the five books of Moses, which is where all the laws of the Bible are.
	Only one law is repeated in all five books, or stated in all five books.
	And that is that you take the life of a murderer.
	The Bible really hates murder.
	It's so interesting.
	And I hate murder.
	And I don't believe that the European progressives, Where you get a few years in prison, like in Norway, if you commit murder.
	I don't think they hate murder as much as the Bible hates murder.
	Because you get so little punishment if you murder.
	What is this guy's name?
	Was it Brevik?
	What was the guy's name?
	The Norwegian?
	What did he kill?
	70?
	80?
	Mostly, almost all young people.
	This vile human being.
	So he was given a sentence by the Norwegian court, which amounted, I remember at the time, it amounted to about three months for every person he murdered.
	We'll be back.

	Now they've added the words, defund the police, which they say they fear you will now remove.
	Is that right?
	We certainly are very proud of the D.C. mural that we commissioned in our Department of Public Works and local artists installed.
	It is an affirmative piece of art, a centering piece of art, where people from around the globe have called us and thanked us for acknowledging black humanity and black lives in the most important city in the world.
	And we are very proud of that.
	But will you take out the part that says defund police?
	Well, it's not a part of the mural, and we certainly encourage expression, but we are using the city streets for city art.
	In other words, that will go away.
	You will paint over that.
	I actually haven't even had an opportunity to review it, Martha.

	Karen in Detroit.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	I'm a white woman in my 60s.
	I was recently publicly defamed via an email to everyone in my organization, plus a bunch of this person's family, friends, and associates.
	She's unhappy with the statement that was put out by my organization about George Floyd.
	It was just a typical statement that just about everybody made.
	Very short, very, you know, we're with you, that kind of thing.
	But she wants a more detailed one outlining Black Lives Matter, all of this, blah, blah, blah.
	And so she then put, she started making posts on Facebook.
	She did not mention me.
	But when she sent out this email on Sunday, she directed it to the president and then in the first paragraph just saying, Do you want to say that you were on the wrong side of history?
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Stuff about our board, that we're funded by racists.
	And then she says, I had to literally pull you aside in an event to even get a meeting with you because Karen would not schedule it.
	This is in bold and caps.
	Karen, you are a racist.
	Three exclamation points.
	That's it.
	And they say they're against bullying.
	That's the joke.
	That's truly the joke.
	Send me the statement.
	I'm very curious while it was not sufficient.
	Eric in Jacksonville, Florida.
	Hi.
	Hi, how are you?
	Okay, thank you.
	Yeah, I was just gonna call in and tell you.
	I'm the racist.
	I'm a black guy.
	I'm a 250-pound, six-foot bald guy, and I've just gotten pulled over so many times by the police in OAS, so many times.
	I had one police look at me when I pulled up to a gas station to put air in my tire, and he disappeared.
	Once I continued to handle my business, put air in my tire, and I drive off about one to two city blocks, this guy pulls me over, pops up out of nowhere with my license and registration, saying someone just stole the car like none.
	I mean, I have countless and endless stories.
	I let my son use my car for about a year.
	It's a BMW, but it shouldn't matter.
	He was pulled over six times in a year.
	I've been pulled over about.
	I've been keeping count 28 times from now, from 2015 into 2020. And he was pulled over six times in that year.
	He was detained on the side of the road for at least 30 to 45 minutes.
	and the police exact words was I know you have the brick on you or the dope on you somewhere and they checked this crouched it went all through my car listen if what you say is true it's terrible And I don't say what you say isn't true.
	But other blacks call up with different experiences.

	How can these people out there in the streets not know, according to the CDC, that police killings of blacks have dramatically declined over the last 45 years by almost 75 percent How can you not know that?
	How can you not know of a peer-reviewed study in a publication put out by the National Association of Sciences?
	In which every single police shooting in the year 2015 was examined, and they could not find any evidence whatsoever of disproportionate deadly force used against blacks.
	And then, of course, there's a smaller study by the Harvard economists I told you about.
	Not only did he not find that they used disproportionate deadly force against blacks, but that they were more hesitant, more reluctant to use deadly force against blacks than against whites.
	More whites are murdered by blacks than blacks are murdered by whites.
	How can you not know that?
	Now again, as I said many times, most murder is same-race murder.
	But to the extent that there are interracial black-white homicides every year, about 750, how can you not know that blacks kill 500 whites, even though blacks are 13% of the population, and whites kill 250 blacks, even though they're around 61% of the population?
	How can you not know that?
	you're out in the streets making all these assertions what you're doing is making things worse you're creating an image of the police department that's going to make people not want to join it and you're causing the so-called Ferguson effect that Rahm Emanuel talked about where he said the police in Chicago have rolled themselves up into a fetal position for fear of being accused of being racist well done black lives matter keep up with it What's trending?

	Blue check bubble people and orange man bad people had a collective stroke and said those poor demonstrators were the subject of rubber bullets, which I don't believe were used.
	And gas, which I think were flashbangs, not tear gas, but I'm not sure.
	I don't know.
	But it was after curfew.
	What did you think of the president's actions?
	Well, I thought the president's remarks yesterday, just like his remarks at Cape Canaveral on Saturday, were entirely appropriate.
	Look, I think everyone is deeply disturbed by the video of George Floyd's wrongful death.
	And we all welcome the quick action by local authorities and the Department of Justice to investigate and to get justice in accordance with law.
	We also respect the right of peaceful protesters, but we can have zero tolerance for anarchists and insurgents, rioters, and looters.

	If you are a long-time listener to the Ultimate Issues Hour, you've sort of been prepared for the crisis that America is in now because almost, or just about every issue that has been raised, I have raised on an Ultimate Issues Hour.
	None of this is surprising.
	Civilization is fragile.
	Liberty is a value.
	It is not a human instinct.
	People join herds.
	And that last part is the subject for today's Ultimate Issues Hour.
	I don't think I've ever done a UI hour on it.
	I have given one lecture on it in my life in the thousands of lectures I have given.
	And the subject is courage.
	As you know, I have said very often that no good can come, no matter how well-intentioned people are, no good can come forth Without courage.
	It's a very complex question.
	How do you become more courageous?
	If any of you have become more courageous over the course of your lifetime, I'd love to hear from you.
	1-8 Prager 776-877-243-7776 So let me offer you some thoughts on The issue of courage.
	And then have you call in because it is everything.
	So, the first thing, this will sound almost simplistic.
	Simple is great, simplistic is not.
	But this will almost sound simplistic, I acknowledge.
	But it isn't.
	The first step...
	To becoming courageous, are you ready, is wanting to be courageous.
	I mean, think about it.
	It's true for anything.
	You want to speak Spanish, the first thing you have to do is want to speak Spanish.
	If you don't want to speak Spanish, you're not going to learn Spanish.
	If you don't want to be courageous, you won't be courageous.
	So it's something you have to want to be.
	So if you ask most people, do you want to be courageous?
	They would say yes.
	It's almost like saying, do you want to be healthy?
	Who's going to say no, I want to be a coward?
	So number two, what stops people?
	I think that that, as much as the positives, these are the things you do to be courageous.
	I think that the first question is, what stops people from being courageous?
	And I think that one big factor, and I'm curious to get the living martyrs' reaction.
	I want you to think, living murder, what do you think I'll say is the first thing that comes to my mind with regard to people not being courageous?
	What stops them?
	I think it's fairly obvious, but people are afraid of the consequences.
	Of being courageous.
	Right?
	So the first thing you have to do is break down what will happen if I am courageous.
	That's it.
	I won't be popular.
	The desire to be liked by many is one of the worst natural parts of the human being.
	Ironically, I must say, there's also something good about it.
	It is nice to want to be liked because then you will act in a likable way.
	That's okay in that regard, but it isn't okay if that's what animates you.
	You, you, if you are courageous, you can't.
	Courage and wanting to be popular are mutually exclusive.
	And if you have children, or you don't even have to have children, you were a child, you wanted to be popular in school.
	Correct?
	You wanted to be with the in crowd.
	It starts at an extremely early age because you feel secure.
	Right?
	You feel secure when you have the protection, if you will, of the herd.
	It's when you are outside of the herd that you can be eaten by wolves.
	And so it's primal not to be courageous.
	It is actually built into us not to stick out.
	But only the people who stick out do any good, or do certainly the most good.
	By the way, some people who stick out do terrible things.
	It goes in both directions.
	Aiming to be popular is the antithesis of courage.
	you Thank you.
	I was reading about...
	I won't even say his name anymore because he's not the issue.
	I mean, obviously, if you heard the show, you'll know who I'm talking about, but he's not the issue.
	The issue is the issue.
	So, a major football player said that it was said on one day a couple of weeks ago that it's not right not to stand for the flag.
	At the national anthem before the football game.
	And one day, he recanted everything he said.
	Right?
	Now, do you realize how much courage it would have been?
	it would have been so courageous that he could not probably have continued to be the quarterback of his football team.
	I mean, we have to be honest about the consequences of courage that...
	There are consequences that are paid.
	And he said, oh my God, you know, he even said when he recanted how terrible his first statement was and how, you know, we're going to fight endemic racism in America.
	So he joined the herd.
	And now, he's great.
	He's a terrific guy.
	He's wonderful.
	I'm not blaming him.
	I promise you I'm not.
	I'm just using him as an example.
	Courage, in this case, to stand by his original conviction.
	What, he changes conviction in a day?
	To stand by his original conviction.
	Would have probably meant he could no longer be the quarterback of that team.
	Because X number of his fellow teammates would have called him a racist.
	And you can't work with people who think you're scum.
	Racists are scum.
	Big business leaders in our society have no courage.
	They, college administrators, think cowardice is almost a defining characteristic of college administrator, college president, CEO of a big business.
	You will say, what is popular?
	That may bring America down, by the way.
	The people seeking to be popular and showing little courage.
	That may end up with the demise of this free society as we know it.
	So what do you do if you...
	How do you drop the desire to be popular?
	I'll take your calls.
	I'll answer that.

	If you vote, you can save this country from the crazies on the left.
	You know, the ones that want to ruin the economy, turn America into a socialist utopia.
	Like the...
	Welcome back to the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	The subject is courage.
	The following does not entail courage.
	It just entails common sense for you to save a lot of money with Pure Talk.
	AT&T, $76 a month.
	Verizon Wireless, $83.
	That's what the average family of four is saving a month by switching to Pure Talk USA. I couldn't believe the price, so I actually got a phone.
	Signed up with Pure Talk.
	And frankly, I can't tell any difference between Pure Talk and the expensive system that I have been a member of.
	That's right.
	That's how good it is.
	What do they have now?
	It's 2GB of data.
	2GB now.
	Unlimited text, unlimited talk, $20 a month.
	And you got 50% off your first month.
	Dial pound 250 and say the keyword Dennis Prager.
	Pure Talk USA. Dial pound 250 and say the keyword Dennis Prager.
	Courage is everything.
	And I gave two ideas.
	I'm going to take your calls.
	About developing courage.
	One is that you want to develop it.
	It seems so obvious that I shouldn't have to say it, but it's not true.
	It has to be on the list of to-dos, as it were.
	So you want to be courageous.
	It takes courage today, for example, to say America is not racist.
	That that is a lie.
	There are racists in America, but America is not racist.
	Racist.
	Alright, as an example, just to say that, In most company, say that on an Instagram message.
	Say that on Facebook.
	We are smearing a wonderful country.
	Takes courage.
	Alright?
	That's just a contemporary example.
	So one is that you want to be.
	Another is that you are okay with not being popular.
	If you want to be popular, You can't be courageous.
	But being popular, so what?
	So what?
	It's wildly overstated.
	Alright, let's go to your calls.
	Excuse me, you have very interesting calls here.
	And I want to take some of them.
	Let's go.
	Angie in Los Angeles, hello.
	Hello, Mr. Prager.
	What an honor.
	Thank you.
	Well, I have a 22-year-old daughter who was very grieved over the last week, and she would get a lot of Instagram posts, and she was so much under pressure to speak, and they would even fish her to speak, and she would just say, you know, let's pray about it.
	God will give us wisdom.
	And one day she turns to me and she says, Mom, I'm so grieved with the LEPD being harassed.
	And I said, well, what would you want to do about it?
	She goes, why don't we go visit them?
	And so what we did, we got a basket with a thank you card and scripture and lightsaber candy in it.
	And we visited 20 police stations in Los Angeles.
	And I couldn't believe the response from the police officers.
	They would thank her.
	and one of them even said, thank you because many who supported us are silent at this moment.
	Another one said, oh, we will definitely, because she printed over 2,000 blessing and encouraging notes for these police officers.
	And at the end, she goes, Mom, thank you so much for doing this.
	And I said, no, thank you for your courage because you're the one that did it.
	That is a great story.
	That's good.
	That's right.
	Some candy or flowers or I don't know, anything.
	Or just a message.
	There are bad cops.
	Guess what?
	There are bad doctors.
	I mean bad in the same sense that there are bad cops.
	Bad people.
	There are bad people in every profession.
	And the percentages are probably the same.
	The percentage of bad human beings in medicine is probably the same as the percentage of bad human beings in police work.
	Okay?
	The percentage of racists among doctors is probably the same as the percentage of racists among policemen.
	lawyers, doctors, dentists, electricians, sanitation workers, teachers.
	By the way, once you do something courageous, it's easier to do it the next time.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	See, I am so aware that to do any real good in life, you will be hated.
	That the hatred that is directed to me, and you have no idea how much, because if you like me, you can't imagine how much hatred.
	And the hatred directed to me is not, you know, one email.
	It is, you know, in gigantic.
	Numbers on the internet.
	And I can't do any good if I would let that stop me.
	That is the nature of the human condition.
	But I rather have it said about me after I leave this world He was courageous than he was popular.
	Okay, let's see here.
	Let's go to Bill in Sarasota, Florida.
	Hello, Bill.
	Hey, thank you for taking my call, Dennis.
	Appreciate it.
	Yes, sir.
	Listening to you, one of the things is you don't worry so much about being popular.
	That's one of the things that happened to me as I grew older.
	I realized that I became more secure in myself, and I wasn't so concerned about what other people were thinking of me.
	And why did that happen?
	Why did that happen?
	Yeah, why did the change take place?
	One situation that I distinctly remember was I was working, this has been 30, 40 years ago, I was a salesperson, and the person that I was working with, who was the manager of the store, A big bigot.
	And when a black couple walked in and I was waiting on them, he excused me and walked up and within about one minute they were leaving the store.
	And that really bothered me and I was sorry that I did not speak up at that time and walk off and quit the job.
	But at that particular time the situation was not Conduces for me to do something like that.
	So that stayed with you?
	That stayed with me today.
	Yes, okay.
	See, that's good.
	I like that.
	He was bothered by his lack of courage at a certain time.
	That'll propel you.
	We'll be back.

	This is Albert Moeller for townhall.com.
	A chilling headline ran over Easter weekend from CNN. Louisville police officers to record license plate numbers of Easter weekend churchgoers.
	Over the course of this pandemic, I've argued that churches should follow generally applicable shelter-in-place orders, that these orders and guidelines do not violate religious liberty.
	Indeed, we ought to comply with him out of love of neighbor.
	But if policies single out churches and religious groups, it becomes an entirely different issue, an unconstitutional violation of religious liberty.
	Over the course of the last several weeks, some government officials have crossed the line.
	In the case of Louisville, it took a restraining order from United States District Court Judge Justin Walker to curtail Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher's attempt to prevent even drive-in church gatherings.
	The judge said, quote, the mayor's decision is stunning and it is beyond all reason unconstitutional.
	Consider this.
	In America, in 2020, comes the threat that they're taking names and they're taking numbers.
	It's extremely important that all American Christians take note.
	And in a hurry.

	This is the mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser on ABC, who has a problem answering a question.
	She had giant mural-like graffiti written on the tarmac of a street in downtown D.C., Black Lives Matter, but had nothing to comment on what else was painted there.
	This is three times she was asked a certain question.
	Muriel Bowser, ABC Video Cut 5. Play video.
	Now they've added the words, defund the police, which they say they fear you will now remove.
	Is that right?
	We certainly are very proud of the D.C. mural that we commissioned and our Department of Public Works and local artists installed.
	It is an affirmative piece of art, a centering piece of art, where people from around the globe have called us and thanked us for acknowledging black humanity and black lives in the most important city in the world.
	And we are very proud of that.
	But will you take out the part that says defund police?
	Well, it's not a part of the mural, and we certainly encourage expression, but we are using the city streets for city art.
	In other words, that will go away.
	You will paint over that.
	I actually haven't even had an opportunity to review it, Martha.
	She surrendered.
	She's surrendered.
	That's the mayor.

	This is the Ultimate Issues Hour, third hour every Tuesday.
	The subject is courage.
	Goodness is dependent upon it, and most people rely on some other people to be courageous to get things done.
	It's almost as if in every generation there is a small percentage of people who have courage.
	They carry on the good stuff, and the others sort of piggyback.
	So, the question is, do you want to be courageous, or more courageous?
	And how do you do that?
	You begin by wanting to be courageous.
	It's so obvious that it almost need not be said, but it does need to be said.
	do you want to be it and then you have to immediately be able to withstand attacks and not being popular That's a key aspect to it.
	Alrighty, everybody.
	And Suzanne in Chapin, South Carolina.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I'm so excited.
	First time to ever even try to call in and have not listened to you for probably only maybe six months and realized how much I've missed out.
	You've done a lot for me.
	Thank you.
	Dennis, I'm in a situation where my husband and I have each been married before, but we have been together for 17 years.
	We each have a son and a daughter, grown children in their 40s.
	All of which think completely differently than we do.
	And during the 2016 election, it was brought up in front of me.
	My husband had not been around at that time.
	He wasn't around.
	And that anyone who voted for Trump was completely against them and their families.
	It really pertains to the one family who has three adopted black children.
	We are white.
	And she is constantly on the platform about those children.
	And some of it rightfully so, some of it way too far left.
	But to make a statement like that, I did have the courage to speak up and say, so obviously I felt like she was putting me in a position.
	So that she knew where we stood, for sure.
	They all live in different states, so it's not like we see each other a lot.
	And he basically said that she had disowned three of her brothers for the same reason.
	And I spoke up and said, you know, Jennifer, you cannot let this come between our families.
	We all have our differences of opinions, and it doesn't mean we love each other any less.
	And she pretty much has stayed to that all these years now.
	She has what, all these years?
	I'm sorry.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	She has what, all these years?
	She has pretty much had that same stance.
	So is she not in touch with you?
	We are only pretty much at Christmas.
	Where my husband and I make the traveling from South Carolina to Tennessee to Indiana and then to Kentucky, where all three sets of our kids live.
	She is cordial, but certainly not close in any way.
	The problem is there's a big divide between her husband, which is my husband's son, and much less us.
	And it's almost like they do it out of need, and I'm not even sure they really need it.
	They might do it because they think it's expected.
	All right, let me let you go with that.
	Only because of time, I would love to speak to you longer.
	What does it tell you that this is almost always one-sided?
	The hatred of even parents.
	The willingness to deny them access to their grandchildren because they voted for Donald Trump.
	The people who do that, aside from being, well, violating the Ten Commandments, which means, of course, nothing to them.
	Honor your father and mother.
	There's no asterisk, no matter how they vote.
	They're also just mean.
	All right.

	Welcome.
	I'm talking to my friend Dinesh D'Souza.
	He has a new book out today.
	It's called United States of Socialism.
	Who's behind it?
	Why it's evil?
	How to stop it.
	Young people seem always to be the easy marks for this kind of marks, no pun intended.
	Easy Marx for this kind of thinking.
	That's true.
	I also think that young people will say the Scandinavian model works, but they don't know what the Scandinavian model is.
	So the Scandinavian countries, for example, are capitalist in wealth creation.
	They're socialist in wealth distribution, but they're very careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
	And so you have low corporate tax rates, about 20%, same as in America.
	You have no minimum wage in most Scandinavian countries.
	They have no wealth tax, no inheritance tax.
	You can hire and fire people for any reason.
	Regulations are less than in this country.
	Dinesh, I just have to hit pause for a second.
	Everything you've just said is stunning.
	I mean, the idea that they have low corporate tax rates, low wealth tax, I mean...
	You would never dream that in a country that people think of as socialist, that that would be the case.
	Bernie Sanders is not advertising that.
	No, and in fact, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren want to impose financial transaction taxes on Wall Street.
	Now, there's no Scandinavian country that goes near this.
	The second part of it is they say, look, we can have a generous welfare state, but here's the point.
	Everybody has to pay for it, not just the rich.
	We're not going to go after the billionaires.
	The basic idea is if we have a 50% tax rate and you make $60,000 a year, give us 30.
	So in other words, they tax the middle class.

	The recent events across America have reminded citizens that freedom, peace and safety are fragile things.
	The death of George Floyd in Minnesota calls for justice through our system of due process.
	The officer who suffocated Floyd had numerous citations for bad conduct.
	Unfortunately, police unions make it very hard to remove bad cops.
	Following Floyd's death, peaceful protests were held, but then depraved rioting, looting and destruction unfolded.
	In the midst of this lawlessness, the group that calls itself Antifa has wreaked havoc.
	Antifa is evil, a movement of nihilism cloaked in the tones of liberation.
	Thankfully, President Trump labeled Antifa a domestic terrorist group, one of the more important domestic decisions thus far of his presidency.
	Attorney General William Barr publicly reinforced this stance.
	In riled times, we seek freedom, peace, and safety.
	And we seek justice.
	Justice in Floyd's case, and justice to end Antifa's reign of terror.

	So the ultimate issue is our, and the subject is courage, which is critical.
	I've thought about it all of my life.
	Wanting to be popular is the antithesis of courage.
	That makes courage impossible.
	That's one thing that just needs to be clear.
	All right, everybody.
	Let's go to Marina, California, and Dave.
	Hello, Dave.
	Hello, Dave.
	All right.
	I'll let Dave go.
	So we've got one line open now.
	And let's go to...
	Was that Dave?
	Here's another Dave.
	Surprise, Arizona.
	Hello, Dave.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thank you so much for letting me answer on your national program.
	I appreciate it.
	Yes, sir.
	The subject at hand is...
	I'm sorry.
	Repeat for me what it is.
	Courage.
	I have an answer.
	I just can't think right now.
	I'm really nervous.
	You said to the screener, morality is linked to courage.
	If people attack your character, you need moral strength.
	Yeah.
	I think that our political class right now, with only two acceptance, show no courage because they have no morality.
	And in this cancel culture, when people press on you, if you don't have the morals to stand out, and I know that you do, and I know that Tom Cotton does, and I know the president does, but absent of that, there's 534 members of Congress that haven't stood for the public for four months.
	They've allowed our businesses to be shuttered.
	They've allowed people to lose their homes, to lose their livelihoods.
	I think they want to turn us all into surf, to be honest with you.
	Well, I don't know what Congress could have done.
	I think it's a state thing.
	States run by Republicans.
	I mean, there was courage.
	There's been a lot of courage exhibited.
	In Georgia, there's been courage exhibited.
	As an example, Texas.
	These governors have been attacked as not caring about the health of their...
	Populations.
	In the meantime, it has been the greatest hysteria of my lifetime, the COVID-19 hysteria.
	If anything good comes from this, it has to be that you do not listen to scientists' advice with regard to policy.
	I have one interest in scientists.
	Tell me, science, I have zero interest in your recommendations.
	Zero.
	You're usually wrong.
	You're usually a hypochondriac.
	I have zero interest in what you have to say society should do.
	I have a lot of interest.
	If I need to understand a virus, I, Dennis, am not a scientist.
	I will ask a virologist.
	Correct.
	Their advice, generally, Is moronic, hysterical, hypochondriac, and wrong.
	That should be one of the great conclusions drawn from all of this.
	And I will tell you, it did take courage for me.
	I was not alone, but there weren't many of us who were telling you from the beginning, this is hysteria.
	And that the lockdown after two weeks was vile.
	Just vile.
	The destruction of...
	Tens of millions of lives around the world meant nothing to these people.
	There was a piece in the New York Times that said epidemiologists want, you know, that they still want people not to gather together.
	It's interesting though, but I read to you yesterday, scientists, 1,200 people in science.
	And they could have gotten 10,000 signatures saying, oh, the protests were okay because, yes, there were vast tens of thousands of people gathered together and most of them not wearing masks, but that's okay because racism is even more serious of an issue than the pandemic.
	Okay, so you're frauds.
	You're just frauds.
	You're going to tell me what's important?
	So I can't go to an Easter service if I'm a Christian, correct?
	But I can go to a protest, correct?
	I have no interest in scientists' advice.
	Get it?
	Zero.
	A handful of courageous scientists have bucked that trend.
	And then YouTube takes them down.
	Courage is everything.
	Wisdom and courage.
	Those are the two biggies.
	Because courage without wisdom, you can do a lot of goofy things.
	Alrighty, everybody.
	Joe in South Carolina.
	Hello, Joe.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Longtime listener.
	Thank you.
	How do you pronounce your city?
	Can you hear me?
	Yeah, I do.
	How do you pronounce your city?
	Whitmire, South Carolina.
	Okay.
	Go ahead, my friend.
	Yes, sir.
	Well, first off, I think our courage matures with us as we mature.
	Different things influence that.
	Books we read, teachers in school, what have you.
	For instance, my high school days, I always wanted to be popular, and in order to do that, I felt like I had to do crazy things, which may have been a form of courage.
	I don't know, but I did get the attention.
	Later in my life, I started learning more about maturing and being more responsible and all, but I was still not, I was not courageous in that sense.
	Right, all right, we'll hear it.
	The sun will come out.
	Jobs will start up again.
	The traffic jam we used to hate will come back.
	Thank God for cars.
	So many things we took for granted are going to be so special.
	We'll get through this.
	Because we have each other.
	And we have this radio station.
	We are the answer.
	Trending now on the Larry Oller Show.
	How can these people out there in the streets not know, according to the CDC, that police killings of blacks have dramatically declined over the last 45 years?
	By almost 75%.
	How can you not know that?
	How can you not know of a peer-reviewed study?
	For Third Hour Tuesday, Subject is courage.
	All right, Joe, back to you.
	Hi.
	Yes, sir, Dennis.
	I was just saying that Courage matures is what my belief is.
	I think younger in life, I was maybe courageous in a stupid way, wanted a lot of attention, peer pressure attention.
	So let me ask you, do you think that the average 70-year-old is more courageous than the average 30-year-old?
	I think yes, but the 30-year-olds are willing to do, I think, Physically courageous things.
	But I'm talking moral courage.
	I'm not talking about bungee jumping.
	I think, yes.
	Okay, that's interesting.
	I had never actually thought about that.
	I gotta think about that.
	That's a fascinating question.
	I'm gonna mull that over.
	I told you, I learned a tremendous amount from callers.
	The body of wisdom in millions of people is greater exponentially than it could be in one person.
	And I have access to that every day, which is a really wonderful thing.
	All right, in Clarksville, Tennessee, Don.
	Hello, Don.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thanks.
	Long time not here.
	My son had to do a paper in high school, and he asked me what would best define courage, because that was what the paper was on, and I told him, well, courage, or fortitude would be belief that there's such thing as objective truth, then a conviction about that truth, then a willingness to stand for that truth, and then defend it, and then a willingness to be persecuted as a result of it.
	It's basically a principled person.
	I like that.
	You know, that's very true.
	Certainly true for this moment.
	I'll apply it immediately.
	Is it an objective truth that the United States is a racist country?
	No, it's not.
	It's a smear.
	But if you have a conviction, there have to be objective truths.
	Is it an objective truth?
	That the police are routinely brutal against blacks?
	No.
	It's a falsehood.
	So you have to ask, how much is my conviction?
	He's right.
	How much am I prepared to stand up for the conviction that there were truths?
	Fred, Peggy, Johnny, DeEdgar, Doris.
	Great calls that I couldn't take.
	That'll be my...
	That'll be a...
	An essay or even a book I'll write.
	Great calls I couldn't take.
	All right, everybody.
	Going on a cruise with listeners in September.
	For information, go to my website.
	Thank you for listening.
