	Thank you.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	It's difficult to describe what is happening when you live in a time of mania and hysteria.
	It's quite...
	The only thing that some people might liken this moment to is McCarthyism.
	But there was no widespread, nothing is widespread, where he was accused of and did call people who are not communists, communists.
	And that has taken on the word that has been given called McCarthyism, which is charging people with An evil.
	And communism is evil.
	And just making some, in some cases, some wild charges.
	And that blew over, I don't know, was it two years?
	I don't remember the exact time length.
	But there was still, there was great opposition.
	The media did not follow him.
	This is unprecedented.
	I have a story here that gives you an idea of what the left has succeeded in doing to young people.
	It's actually hard to believe that this has happened.
	There's a professor at the UCLA School of Management, the Anderson School of Management, Professor Gordon Klein.
	He's been teaching there.
	For 39 years.
	And there's a petition, this is what is so amazing, with almost 20,000 signatures to have him fired from teaching.
	I'll read you the story from the Daily Mail, and you will understand now what I mean by...
	Remember the Stepford wives?
	The leftists produced Stepford professors and Stepford students.
	UCLA college professor is suspended after refusing a request for lenient marking of black students' final assessments due to the trauma they have suffered from George Floyd's death and civil unrest.
	That's the headline.
	A professor at the University of California in Los Angeles, that's UCLA, has been suspended and placed under police protection.
	Placed under police protection.
	That's...
	It's a new America.
	.
	Thank you.
	A professor at UCLA has been suspended and placed under police protection after he rejected his non-black students' appeals for him to be lenient with his black students.
	Gordon Klein, an accounting professor, who has been teaching for 39 years, was suspended by the university for three weeks, beginning on June 25th.
	What did he do wrong?
	We'll find out.
	The Malibu Police Department reportedly is an increased police presence outside Klein's home after multiple threats, which were made after a student, Emilia Martinez, posted an email exchange online.
	A petition to have Klein removed has gained almost 20,000 signatures.
	He is suspended for, quote, a mocking email.
	Denying a request for leniency for black students.
	The petition seeks clients firing as a result of his, quote, extremely insensitive, dismissive, and woefully racist response.
	I will read to you his response.
	Woefully racist response.
	It's not only not woefully racist, It's not even remotely racist.
	The story began when a group of students who described themselves as non-black allies, quote-unquote, of their black peers wrote to Klein asking for him to effectively cancel the final exams for black students.
	They requested a, quote, no harm, unquote, final exam that could only benefit students' grades, and for shortened exams and extended deadlines for final assignments and projects.
	The students wrote that in light of recent, quote, traumas, we have been placed in a position where we must choose between actively supporting our black classmates or focusing on finishing up our spring quarter.
	They continued.
	We believe that remaining neutral in times of injustice brings power to the oppressor, and therefore staying silent is not an option.
	Do you understand that?
	Remaining neutral in times of injustice brings power to the oppressor.
	Who is the oppressor of these students at UCLA? Professor Klein?
	By simply keeping the schedule, the grade is based on what you do on the exam.
	How's he supposed to give you a grade?
	See how they have been brainwashed to speak like this?
	Remaining neutral in times of injustice brings power to the oppressor.
	It's what they learned at college.
	They wrote, according to Inside Higher Education, that theirs was, quote, not a joint effort to get finals canceled for non-black students, but rather an ask that you exercise compassion and leniency with black students in our major.
	Klein wrote back and declined their request, composing an email that some students felt was mocking them.
	Thanks for your suggestion in your email below that I give black students special treatment given the tragedy in Minnesota, he wrote.
	Do you know the names of the classmates that are black?
	How can I identify them since we've been having online classes only?
	Are there any students that may be of mixed parentage, such as half black, half Asian?
	What do you suggest I do with respect to them?
	A full concession or just half?
	Klein asked the students whether any of them, black or otherwise, were from Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed.
	Quote, I assume that they probably are especially devastated as well, he wrote.
	I am thinking that a white student from there might be possibly even more devastated by this, especially because some might think that they are racist.
	Even if they are not.
	My teaching assistant is from Minneapolis, so if you don't know, I can probably ask her.
	Klein asked how he was expected to implement the no-harm exam, given that the course was solely graded on the final exam.
	How are they supposed to get grades, as I asked earlier?
	And he ended with a quote from Martin Luther King.
	One last thing strikes me.
	Remember that MLK famously said that people should not be evaluated based on, quote, the color of their skin.
	Do you think that your request would run afoul of MLK's admonition?
	Thanks, G. Klein.
	He gave the example of his daughter, who suffered a severe illness and lost close friends to suicide during her time at UCLA. Life deals all of us challenges, and I have no doubt that many of you are facing some now.
	In a perfectly fair world, I would be able to take these individual factors into account.
	And perhaps modify the terms in our course syllabus.
	But my understanding of university rules is that with rare exceptions, I should not.
	So what did he do wrong?
	20,000 people signed a petition to have him fired as a professor.
	What did he do wrong?
	This is unprecedented in American history.
	This is an existential threat to the United States as we know it.
	Sorry.
	I'm really, really, really sorry.
	The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	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.
	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 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?
	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.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Borka.
	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.
	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 want to feel economically and physically secure.
	So today...
	was a huge win for the president, but more importantly, this is a huge win for America, for every single class.

	I want to remind you the importance of the sponsors of Talk Radio.
	A...
	Increasingly an island of reason in the most irrational period in American history.
	And I told you, many times I fear panic more than a given event.
	Anyway, this sponsor is Pure Talk.
	And I have tried it out because I actually, I was a bit skeptical that for, what is the price here?
	Yes.
	Unlimited talk.

	I was skeptical.

	Pure Talk USA. This is an amazing story out of UCLA. The most amazing is, well, I don't know what's the most amazing, 20,000 signatures.
	I read you excerpts.
	The entire letter was actually quite respectful.
	He didn't think that exams should be waived because black students have suffered.
	Because of the George Floyd death.
	And that makes it woefully racist.
	So the message is that this is the terrible message of the left and of the hysteria going on now.
	It's that blacks are to be treated differently than other people.
	That's the message.
	And it's terrible for blacks.
	It's terrible for society.
	It's terrible for blacks.
	It introduces a level of inauthenticity to relations between people that has not existed heretofore.
	When Barack Obama got elected in 2008, the majority...
	A great majority of blacks and whites thought that relations between blacks and whites were quite good and getting better.
	And that was it.
	But remember, if people are happy and get along, it is bad for the left.
	There has to be hysteria.
	That, as I've written often and long, The oxygen of the left is hysteria.
	Since Donald Trump was elected, we have gone from hysteria to hysteria, including the very long lockdown.
	That is a form of hysteria.
	Otherwise, you explain to me why Republican governors have opened their states, and I still live in a state where there is so much lockdown.
	There's a cruelty to the lockdown, of course, because it ruins so many people's lives.
	I think, for example, in California, I think of the people who run nail salons, which in the Los Angeles area at least, are largely run by Vietnamese immigrants, mostly women, and they work so hard, and they make a living, and they are deprived of making a living.
	Why can't people decide whether or not they go?
	For a manicure or pedicure as they can in Georgia or Florida.
	The devastation wrought by this lockdown is horrific.
	But the worse things are, the better they are for the left.
	Lenin is supposed to have said, in order to Make omelets, you have to break eggs.
	But they don't make omelets.
	That's the thing.
	The left only breaks eggs.
	This story, 20,000 signatures.
	It's a very real question whether you should send your child to college.
	Very, very serious question.
	It's not the first time that I have brought this to your attention.
	But you see the damage done to their ability to think clearly.
	It's not just the damage done to their moral fiber.
	College damages your ability to think clearly.
	Putting all issues of right and wrong aside, just the issue of reason.
	Is his response unreasonable?
	Is it worthy of condemnation as being woefully racist?
	An interesting poll that has just come out.
	Thank you.
	The News Daily poll with Scott Rasmussen.
	Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of your local police department?
	This is at justthenews.com.
	And this is, the headline is, Poll Finds 72% of Voters, Including Most Black Voters, Have Favorable View of Local Police Department.
	Very favorable, 36%.
	Somewhat favorable, 36%.
	So there you go.
	That's 72. Very unfavorable, 7%.
	I guess all 7% are in the streets.
	This is quite something.
	I mean, I don't know if it's accurate.
	I suspect that it might be.
	Now, it's an interesting question whether the Democrats, which is not all Democrats, but many leading Democrats are for defunding police departments.
	So, I find it hard to believe that a majority of Democratic voters, forget Republican, think that's a good idea.
	That might be an Achilles heel for the Democrats.
	They have lost their minds.
	That will increase evil in America.
	The removal of police departments.
	That's all it will do.
	There will be more death, more rape, more suffering.
	And they don't care.
	This is Owen Strand for townhall.com.
	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.
	There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent 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?

	This is a time, my dear listeners, where courage is demanded of all of us because there is a stampede of evil that will lead to the, I think, The demise of the civilization that has been built here with all its flaws.
	But it is incredibly easy to break.
	And it is incredibly difficult to construct.
	And the left breaks.
	It just constructs power.
	That's all it constructs.
	Good does not emanate from the left.
	I've been telling you this much of my life.
	You see it before your eyes today.
	Defund the police.
	So I look at these lists.
	Well, who should you call if there are no police?
	Someone enters your home and then there's mental health professionals.
	Social workers.
	I don't even understand how these people write this and take themselves seriously.
	A very large number of people have been killed during these riots, by the way, and protests.
	They're not the same, I'm well aware.
	If it doesn't get any media attention.
	As I mentioned to you, was it June 1st, the largest number of people in Chicago history killed in one day?
	We don't know any of their names.
	The media doesn't care about them because the narrative does not fit the narrative of police brutality.
	There is police brutality.
	There is everything in life.
	But the police brutality is not the norm.
	That's what matters.
	So, it takes courage to resist for you to put up calmly.
	Peace.
	Thank you.

	Put up the story about, it's an interesting one, get the story This professor at UCLA put up the entire email response and asked people, do you consider this woefully racist?
	It's a really good test of whether a person can think coherently or not.
	How can this possibly benefit black Americans?
	Whatever you request, whatever is requested on your behalf, it wasn't even the black students who made this request.
	Standards are the only thing that elevate human beings.
	It's true for me.
	It is true for anybody.
	The death of standards is the death of civilization.
	People who are called conservatives, they used to be liberals as well, believed in standards for all.
	That all people need to elevate themselves to the same exact set of standards.
	We all have the same rights and we all have the same obligations.
	That's the only way to make a good world.
	That people feel that they have obligations, not only rights.
	Another thing that I have said so often, the great difference between a religious education and a secular education.
	In a secular, private, or public school, you learn your rights.
	In a religious school, Christian or Jewish, you learn your obligation.
	It's a very big difference.
	It's a big difference of approach to life.

	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Jason Riley happens to be black.
	Done a number of PragerU videos.
	There's a piece in the Wall Street Journal, The Full Truth About Race and Policing.
	Here are a few important statements that he makes in his piece in the Wall Street Journal.
	According to the Chicago Sun-Times, there were 492 homicides in Chicago last year.
	Guess how many of them involved the police?
	492 human beings were killed by another human being.
	How many do you think involved the police?
	Why don't you guess, Sean?
	Alright, what is 5% of 492?
	5%, make it 500. 5% of 100 is 5, that means 25. So you guessed 25. You think that's high now.
	Three.
	Three.
	The charge of rampant police brutality is another left-wing lie.
	The left lives on lies.
	The tragedy is how many young people believe these lies because it's all they hear.
	Evidence is never offered.
	It's all emotion.
	All emotion.
	To grow up, you must conquer your emotion with the use of reason.
	Reason is a sort of white privilege now.
	Three.
	What's three of 500?
	So, I mean, we're talking, it's almost a negligible percent.
	percent.
	The available evidence shows that police use of deadly force has plunged in recent decades, including in big cities with large populations of low-income minorities.
	In the early 1970s, New York City police officers shot more than 300 people a year.
	By 2019, that number had fallen to 34. Within 50 years.
	Part of the confusion stems from attempts to equate any racial disparities with racism, which is as mistaken as equating age and gender disparities with systemic discrimination.
	Young people are incarcerated at higher rates than older people, and men draw more police attention than women.
	Is something fishy going on here?
	Or do such outcomes simply reflect the fact that young men are behind most violent crime?
	When journalists break down police behavior by race, but don't do the same for criminal behavior, you're not getting the whole story.
	A recent New York Times report, this is an example of the way the New York Times lies.
	A recent New York Times report, for example, tells us that the racial makeup of Minneapolis is 20% black, And 60% white.
	And that police there, quote, used force against black people at a rate at least seven times that of white people during the past five years.
	Unquote.
	Left out of the story are the rates at which blacks and whites in Minneapolis commit crime in general, and violent crime in particular.
	So do you see what the New York Times does, the way it lies?
	Seven times Proportionately, seven times as many blacks as whites are shot by the police.
	Because they do it based on the population, but they don't do it based on criminal behavior.
	So it's irrelevant, isn't it?
	As he said, why not do it with regard to males?
	Males are half the population.
	Females are half the population.
	How come they don't shoot females 50% of the time?
	Because they're not involved in violent behavior.
	Do you know that the vast majority of college graduates would not understand what I just said?
	All they would do is call it racist.
	The fact that a black rodent would just dismiss him as a stooge of white privilege.
	Because they are not taught by the left to think.
	To label.
	Since Lenin and the Soviet Union, that has been the way to do it.
	Anyone who opposed communism was called the fascist.
	And it worked very often.
	The left bought it.
	This is where we're at.
	The only answer is, well, there are many answers.
	One is that you must, you must fight.
	Because people are so quiet, and I totally understand it, because you could lose your job, you could lose your friends, you could lose your children.
	So they think that you don't exist.
	They only talk to each other, demonstrate with each other, have dinner with each other, Facebook each other.
	Tweet each other so they don't understand.
	They don't even know that we exist.
	And if we exist, we must simply be racist.
	On the issue of children, like the guy wrote, I read to you last week, a black writer in the New York Times wrote, you want to do something?
	Tell your relatives and friends that if they don't participate in a demonstration or donate to some black cause, you will remove them from your life.
	Removing parents from your life is always, always accompanies tyranny.
	The first thing they do is sever The authority of parents.

	Yeah, Hugh, it's kind of amazing that in many of our biggest cities as of today, you can be arrested for trying to open your business and earn a living or going to church to worship your God, but you apparently can't be arrested for rioting and looting in groups of hundreds or thousands.
	That has to change, and it has to change tonight.
	Now, Senator Cotton, I may be wrong.
	I'm often wrong.
	Never in doubt, frequently wrong, as we say.
	But yesterday, the president did a very good thing with his speech and with his walk to St. John's, because he was not just going to St. John's, he was going to every storefront that had been vandalized, to every small business that had been destroyed.
	That's what I thought that was.
	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?
	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.
	And the president made that point in the Rose Garden speech yesterday, and he symbolically made that point by visiting St. John's Church, where every president has worshipped since James Madison.

	one of the more important domestic decisions thus far of his presidency Attorney General William Barr publicly reinforced Okay,
	everybody, you're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
	Michael in Vancouver, Washington.
	Hi.
	Hey, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Thank you.
	So, you were talking about defunding the police, and I kind of had the same idea about it as you, which was, you know, what are they going to do without the police?
	And I sort of got a little alarmist about it, but I read a little bit more about it.
	About the Defund the Police movement.
	I'll tell you what, it makes a little bit more sense than the way you're making it out.
	It's more of a divest and invest movement.
	So the idea is to divest from the police department's budget and invest it in two areas of the community that could benefit more from it.
	One of them being mental health, obviously, is a big one.
	And I think that we can all agree the police aren't great at dealing with mental health.
	They're not trained to do it.
	And so that's where a lot of these bad situations come up.
	And I think the idea of taking these massive police budgets, right?
	In Los Angeles, for example, you know, they're nearly a third.
	Over $3 billion of the $10 billion yearly budget goes to the policing.
	It just takes some of that money and spread it around to areas that could help keep us safe in a better way.
	Because there's no actual data to prove that more police, that heavy-duty policing, the militarization of the police...
	But that actually stops crime and keeps us more safe.
	So I think that even as conservatives, you and I, I think we want to keep our families safe.
	And I think, you know, putting more money into mental health, that keeps our families safe.
	That keeps everybody in community safe.
	And I don't know why we'd be against that.
	Because it's stupid.
	Sorry?
	Because it's stupid.
	Let me ask you a question.
	You truly don't believe...
	I'll tell you.
	I'm about to tell you.
	Can you tell me what it means more...
	What will that mean, mental health?
	There are...
	In Chicago, there was a record number of blacks killed by blacks two weeks ago.
	A record number in Chicago history for a 24-hour period.
	How would more money going to mental health have stopped that?
	Well, Dennis, I don't know each individual situation, but I would...
	No, in general, let me ask you each individual.
	Why?
	If you have a hundred million dollars to give to psychiatrists or a hundred...
	Yeah.
	You're talking about specific situations.
	Yes, that's the thing.
	I don't know how it would help.
	Right, because it won't, my dear friend.
	I wish we had more time.
	time I'm truly sorry well Okay.
	We need to have more of these discussions.
	However, happily, the male-female hour is coming up.

	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?
	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.

	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?
	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.
	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.

	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.

	Thank you.
	that's my uh that's my current thinking that it's fairly equally dispersed between the two sexes so i have a i have an interesting topic because i it's one of those where you will offer your experience as opposed to me offering my theories.
	Most of the time I offer you theories and you react, disagree, question, offer yours.
	But this is one of those where you are the center stage, as it were.
	And I'll tell you exactly how the topic arose.
	I am watching this.
	Fantastic.
	I watch very few films.
	I'm not bragging.
	It's just the way my life has worked out.
	I love watching movies, but I just don't get to.
	Anyway, there's this streaming Israeli series called Shtissel, and it's a world of ultra-Orthodox Jews, and it's just I'm riveted, personally riveted.
	It's an insight into a world you will never see unless you're in it.
	I think it's S-H-T-I-S-E-L. Take a look if that comes up correctly.
	Anyway, so there's a guy who in it, the protagonist of it, I guess he's about 30. Which is very late to get married in that world.
	But anyway, he gets engaged very quickly to a younger, I think a 19 year old.
	And he doesn't really love her.
	She's a, for what, for all sorts of reasons.
	There's a different woman that he loves, but she's older than him and she doesn't want to marry him because of the age gap.
	But anyway, to make a long story short, it provoked in me a question.
	How many people do you think, and if you were one of them, I'd like to know what happened, were really not sure they were doing the right thing when they got married?
	I'm not saying you had, you know, some little voice of, you know, is this the right one?
	It's not, it wasn't, call in if it wasn't a little voice.
	I'm not saying it was the dominant voice.
	If it was the dominant voice, you probably wouldn't have gotten married.
	But there was a strong voice within you thinking, I don't know why I'm going through this.
	Maybe I really shouldn't.
	But inertia, you don't want to hurt the person.
	you already have a wedding invitation and a band and a venue and the photographer yeah Doesn't come up?
	Yeah, so that's what I said, didn't I say?
	I said S-H-T-I-S-E-L. Yeah.
	So, 1-8 Prager 776, 877-243-7776.
	So my question is, did you, or perhaps even someone you know, have that when you got married, thinking, hmm, maybe I really shouldn't do this?
	And how did it turn out?
	Should you have listened to that voice?
	Or was it wrong?
	And it worked out pretty well, the marriage.
	I would love to know, and it's not possible to know.
	It'd have to be God.
	But I would love to know what percentage of people marry Thinking, maybe I'm really not doing the right thing here, but for whatever reason you did it.
	And then how does it turn out?
	That's as interesting to me as the question of doubts.
	Because if it turns out that most people who have hesitations, serious hesitation, End up divorcing or end up in a lousy marriage without divorcing, then maybe it's a warning to people, you know, if you have real misgivings, maybe you shouldn't marry.
	On the other hand, if, you know, half the time the marriage turns out fine, then There's no rule to be learned.
	That's my question for this male-female hour.
	Is there any rule that could be learned here with regards to how people should regard their doubts?
	Now, most people, that's an interesting question too.
	Do most people have certitude?
	Boy, this is the right one.
	That's a question.
	By the way, that's another question.
	It's an interesting question, too.
	How many people are certain this is the right one?
	And they turned out to be wrong.
	I'm only laughing because dark humor entertained me.
	But that's impossible to...
	Probably impossible to ever know, again, unless one has God's knowledge of human events from up on high, as it were.
	How many people are certain and they turn out wrong?
	How many people have annoying doubts and they turn out wrong?
	I have known...
	How many people?
	Let's see.
	I mean, you know, your knowledge base is not wide.
	Nobody's knowledge base is wide.
	I mean, how many people do you possibly know who would have confided in you?
	I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.
	I've had it very rarely in my life been told to me.
	Because it's a very tough thing for somebody to tell somebody else.
	Number one, and number two, well, that is it.
	Number one is everything.
	It's a very tough thing for people to tell anybody.
	You don't even want to tell yourself, let alone somebody else.
	You know, I'm not sure here.
	By the way, here's another interesting question.
	Do you have to be in love?
	All right.
	That's an interesting question.
	Or can you marry with, you know, I really like this person.
	We get along in every way.
	I don't know if I'm in love.
	Does that matter?
	I have a theory, which I tell young people.
	You have to marry.
	With three parts of you.
	Your mind, your heart, and your libido.
	Not at all equally.
	Doesn't have to be a third, a third, a third.
	But none of the three can be completely absent.

	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 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 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 actually haven't even had an opportunity to review it, Martha.

	This is the male-female hour every Wednesday, the second hour.
	Completely non-political today.
	It usually is.
	But I have combined male-female hour with contemporary events, especially with the lockdown for weeks.
	But today is completely different.
	It's a question.
	If you had the misgivings about marrying the person you married, did they turn out to be accurate in the sense that you shouldn't have married?
	Or did they turn out to be, you know, whatever they were, and it turned out okay, or even good?
	How much do we listen to the voice of misgivings?
	Maybe there is no rule.
	Maybe the issue is what the misgivings are about.
	If they're trivial, then they shouldn't be allowed to interfere.
	Maybe another week I'll do the question.
	I will do the question.
	What language is that?
	I will discuss the question of how important is it to be in love?
	When you get married.
	It's a very important subject.
	Okay, here we go.
	All right, Shannon in Greenville, South Carolina.
	Hi.
	Hello, sir.
	Hi.
	I listen to the show a lot.
	I appreciate this topic.
	Good.
	I'm a retired Marine.
	Thank you.
	And when I got married, I corresponded with my wife for six months after my first met her and did my deployment when I got back.
	She had already set up the whole wedding in Vegas for me within a week.
	And she asked me to marry her.
	I felt kind of trapped in it.
	I had my doubts.
	But I took that chance.
	And it was good during that time for a good five, six years.
	And then I got wounded and had a spinal injury.
	And now I'm combat wounded, retired.
	But in the past, my goodness, a few years.
	Last year, we lost our son, and it was my stepson.
	I took care of two kids of hers.
	And this year, things have really gotten to the point after my injury where I became the zero, where I was the hero.
	And I wish I would have taken more time at the beginning to make sure that it was the one.
	Well, I don't know how you could possibly have known that, given...
	The extraordinary circumstances of what happened in your marriage.
	I don't know if we know almost ever how someone will react to an extreme circumstance.
	Yeah, it's been extreme.
	Real quick, let me just share with you.
	How many seconds do I have?
	The loss of Our son and the VA screwing up my pension this past year, and I've been retired now since 2012, really hurt us to a point where I was traumatized about the VA screwing up an appointment for a five-year physical that I didn't know about.
	And then the VA takes out half my pay.
	Now I just bought a home in Greenville, so we're struggling on that.
	And the financial pressures, I've just known that You couldn't have known at the beginning if it was going to last, but now I know.
	I wish I would have listened and taken more time and longer at the beginning.
	Are you still together?
	She's moved out.
	She's separated.
	That was her desire or both your desires?
	Yeah, that was her desire.
	I wanted to continue counseling in the church.
	We've been in counseling for four years.
	Has no longer wanted the counseling.
	She even changed churches on us.
	So I have my dad I take care of who's 70. And then I have my son who's 14. That's your son, not your stepson?
	No, I have my real son that's 14, yes.
	She got pregnant within the first year of our marriage.
	Right.
	So there's no joint custody with him?
	Yes, sir, there is.
	Right, I understand.
	I wanted to make sure she was taken care of.
	I didn't want her to be without.
	I give her what she means.
	I love her.
	And I just want to make sure that she's, you know, happy, whatever she does.
	You're a good man.
	Life threw some very tough stuff at both of you.
	I don't know what the percentage is of couples that separate and ultimately divorce after the death of a child, but it's apparently fairly high.
	Well, I don't know if you can predict people's reaction to extreme circumstances, and this couple had two with his injury.
	And the death of her child and his stepson.
	Okie doke.
	It's a lot of pain out there.
	See, there's almost a belief among the naive that it is possible to have a painless life.
	I think that that is part of the safetyism.
	That we have entered.
	Life for so many in this society was so good relative to the past and relative to other societies that somehow the idea got into people's minds that a painless life is actually findable.
	And that has caused a major disruption in our society.
	Okay, Pensacola, Florida, and Johnson, hello.
	Hey, Mr. Prager, thanks for taking my call.
	Yes, sir.
	So, real quick, I got married over 30 years ago.
	I really felt like I love her, but she really, you know, she's got attitude problems, had temper issues, you know, stuff like that.
	I really was thinking, I don't want to marry her, but then, We already had told everybody.
	We already sent down all these invitations, blah, blah, blah.
	Long story short, I married her, and I hated it.
	And the reason I stayed is because I really felt like, you know, even though I don't want to be married to you, I made a vow before God, and I'm really committed to my Christian values.
	And so I said, okay, God, I did it.
	I probably blew it, but you want me to stay here?
	So I did.
	And I prayed, and 30-something years later, you know, we're getting along really well.
	Raised four kids.
	It's doing good.
	Wow.
	Not only that, the timing was so perfect.

	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 economist I told you about.
	Not only did he not find that they use 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.
	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.

	Okay.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager, male-female hour, second hour every Wednesday.
	Did you have misgivings when you married, and did they turn out to be accurate, or did it work out the marriage?
	That's the question here.
	Okay, Judy in Utah.
	What city are you in?
	Hi, St. George.
	St. George.
	It's beautiful there.
	Yes, it is.
	Thank you.
	I'm a long-time listener.
	Love your show.
	I got married a long time ago, and I had a boyfriend when I was 15, 16 years old.
	He went on a mission for our church, and he came back, and things were different.
	We didn't communicate well.
	And so we separated, and then...
	Hold on, wait.
	Wait, you separated before marrying?
	Oh, yes.
	Well, not yet.
	Well, we weren't living together or anything.
	No, no, no, I'm not checking up on you.
	I just want to understand the timeline.
	So things changed when he came home from his mission, obviously, in LDS, and so you broke up then?
	Yes, and I married after that real fast, kind of on a rebound.
	And so I married, and I was married for 14 years, and the night before my wedding, my dad says, you don't have to do this, you know.
	And I said, oh, I know, you know, you're young.
	And so my boyfriend...
	I was at the marriage because I had a double wedding with my sister, and I just felt like I shouldn't do that.
	But I married 14 years to my husband, divorced, and now I am married to that boyfriend, and we've been married for over 20 years.
	Oh, my God!
	I did not expect that finale.
	So, do you have children from the 14-year marriage?
	Yes, I have three and he has five.
	I'm sorry, what was the five?
	I have three.
	I have three from my first marriage.
	And two more in the second marriage?
	No, he had five from his first marriage.
	Oh, he had five.
	Oh, I see.
	I get it.
	Okay, so there are eight total.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	So, what, in a sort of fantasy world, do you wish you had never broken up with the first boyfriend?
	Yes.
	If we would know, if we learned a lot from our first marriages, and so our marriage is pretty perfect right now, because we've learned valuable lessons from the first.
	Are you both, go on.
	If we had that experience and those thoughts and those mature things in our lives, when we married 20 years ago, 21 years ago, then sure, I would have done that younger, but maybe I would have had to learn those things.
	My mom says I had to learn those things.
	I see.
	So you both, in effect, had to learn how to be married to each other.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	That's the way you look at it.
	And for my dad to say that in the beginning, like, you don't have to do that.
	That was kind of weird to me.
	I should have listened more to his counsel.
	But anyway, we're here now and we're happy and it's the best.
	Being married to your best friend is the best thing in the whole world.
	Yes, it is.
	Are you both members in good standing in the church?
	Yes.
	Are your exes both as well?
	Mine is, and the other one's just not active, I don't think.
	I see.
	Has it worked out in the joint custody of children?
	Yes, it did.
	Things were hard at times, but we worked through those, and now they're all raised, and we have 16 grandchildren, so yeah, they're all raised.
	How old are you?
	I am 57. 57. And you have 16 grandchildren?
	Yes.
	Awesome.
	Okay.
	These are just great stories.
	I must say, I enjoy this, especially after the tensions of what is going on in our society.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I really am a big believer in less or fewer calories for health reasons.
	If you also lose weight, it's a bonus.
	That's why the only thing I have ever advertised in this regard is a product called Riduzone, which includes OEA, the naturally occurring molecule that helps you feel full faster and burns stored fat.
	So you're reducing your calorie intake and burning stored fat.
	It's the only FDA-accepted product that does include OEA. It's the doctors who made this, who convinced me that I could honorably recommend this product.

	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.
	So in other words, they tax the middle class.

	This is the Male Female Hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Every Wednesday, the second hour is devoted to as honest talk as possible about men and women.
	Thank you.
	Did you have pretty serious misgivings when you got married?
	And how did it turn out?
	That's essentially the subject here.
	And virtually, I think every call has had sort of a twist at the end.
	It's really remarkable.
	I could not have predicted any of the endings of the calls.
	All right, everybody.
	Let's see here.
	Greg, Columbia, South Carolina.
	Hello.
	Hello, Greg.
	Hello?
	Yes, sir.
	Is this you?
	I'm sorry, I'm not Greg.
	I'm Charles.
	However...
	You're Charles?
	How did that happen?
	Wait, are you in Columbia, South Carolina?
	I am not.
	I'm in Chester, California.
	Okay, hold on.
	All right.
	That's a unique problem.
	I've never quite had that.
	Where everything listed is not exactly what's happening.
	I don't know what happened there.
	So we'll figure out something else.
	Okay.
	Let's go to Stephanie in Phoenix.
	Hello, Stephanie.
	Hello.
	You're not Charles, right?
	You're Stephanie.
	I am Stephanie.
	I have been for a long time.
	Good.
	Excellent.
	Thank you.
	It's a pleasure talking to you.
	Thank you.
	I had the second thoughts after being with my ex.
	We had dated for about six years before he proposed to me.
	And then we were planning everything for about a year or so.
	And on my wedding day, I was having major, major second thoughts.
	And seriously considered.
	Stopping everything.
	And then I thought, maybe I'm overthinking this.
	Maybe I'm sabotaging myself.
	He's a good man.
	You know, he clearly loves me.
	We've been together this long.
	I'm 25. I should get married.
	So I went through with it.
	And four years into the marriage, I was considering divorce.
	And then we got pregnant.
	So I decided to stay, and then it clearly seemed like it was not working.
	And for a long time, I debated.
	I thought, you know, this is not something that I should take lightly.
	But I didn't think it would be fair to my son to stay in a relationship that was clearly not working.
	Did your husband think it was not working?
	No, he thought everything was great.
	You know what?
	You've given me a topic for another male-female hour.
	How is it possible that one spouse thinks it's great and one thinks it's awful?
	That's a very interesting subject.
	Okay, you gave me a topic, but go on.
	So what happened?
	You finally divorced, obviously.
	Right, yeah, it'll be two years in August.
	Right, so he was opposed to the divorce?
	Yes, he was opposed.
	Right, and because he still loved you?
	Yes.
	So did that make the divorce tougher for you?
	It was difficult.
	I never planned on getting married just to get divorced.
	I did take those vows very seriously, and that's why it took me so long.
	Do you wish you had divorced sooner?
	Yes, I do.
	Yeah, that's another subject for another time.
	Yes.
	So this is a call which says, I should have listened to my misgivings.
	Exactly.
	Okay.
	Well, good luck to you and to him and to your son.
	The human condition is infinitely complex, ladies and gentlemen.
	I want you to know, in my opinion, it is not amazing that many marriages do not work.
	It is amazing that many do, given the complexity of life and the complexity of human personality.
	So, it's something to think about.
	Alright, yes, I will go back to you, Charles.
	I don't want to punish you for what happened.
	By the way, where on God's earth is Chester, California?
	Do you know where Susanville is?
	Of course.
	I'm about 30 miles west of Susanville.
	I'm joking.
	I don't know.
	Did you say Susanville or Steubenville?
	Susanville.
	Nobody knows where Susanville is.
	This is the classic.
	I have to tell you, this is my classic example of when I ask somebody where do they live.
	Oh, 20 miles from Susanville.
	Oh, now.
	I still don't know.
	Chico.
	We're 75 miles out in the mountains from Chico, California.
	Yeah, that's helping everybody in Pennsylvania right now.
	Alright, fine.
	Alright, go ahead.

	Okay.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	First off, you're the only man I'd wait 40 minutes on hold for.
	Thank you.
	I am honored.
	I am honored.
	Thank you.
	I got married to my first wife, bless her heart.
	I was fresh out of the Navy and joined the Navy shortly after I married her again.
	And everyone who met this woman told me that's not a good idea.
	I knew it in my heart.
	I knew it.
	But I wanted to be married so bad.
	I gotta tell you, I love the idea of being married.
	Yes, stay with me.
	I understand.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	That's another topic.
	What if everybody tells you it's a bad idea?
	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.

	I'm just telling you that I had many misgivings, strong voices from inside and outside.
	I married her.
	It wasn't a pleasant marriage.
	Infidelity abounded.
	She was tough to be married to.
	We had two kids, one of which was mine, and in that process, We got divorced.
	Then six months later, we got remarried because the kids, I thought, would be a better intact marriage.
	My mistake.
	She actually got back into marriage for the children.
	I had the children at that time.
	And anyway, two years later, we divorced again.
	I'm just saying that if you just listen to common sense, To principles that are long upstanding, it's much better to bound a marriage on it, whether you are in love with her or not.
	Okay.
	Wow.
	The stories.
	Oh, my God.
	It's another topic, too.
	I have covered this, but not in a long time.
	Staying together for the sake of children.
	One of the most complex questions that people could ever face.
	All right, let's see.
	Let me go through the scorecard here.
	Bill in Camarillo, California, he had strong doubts, married eight years, then divorced.
	All right, there's a vote for taking your doubts seriously.
	Pat, Denver, strongly doubted, married, already had a baby, both drinkers, ended up in AA. Well, that's good that you ended up in AA. Big fan of that.
	Nancy, Columbus, Ohio.
	I strongly doubted.
	My lips were numb as I walked down the aisle.
	Married three and a half years.
	You were too young.
	Well, some people are too young and some people aren't too young.
	But you were, okay?
	Her lips were numb as she walked down the aisle.
	That's an imagery.
	Frank in Fort Worth, strongly doubted, didn't heed the warnings, married 14 years, divorced.
	Pat, Littleton, Colorado, strongly doubted, married 55 years.
	It was a challenging marriage, and now she misses him.
	Okay.
	Interesting.
	Lou, Denver, strongly doubted, married 20 unhappy years.
	Oh my God.
	Vince, Woodland Hills, California.
	He doubted as he walked down the aisle together 22 years until she attacked him with a knife.
	What a topic.

	That has to change, and it has to change tonight.
	Now, Senator Cotton, I may be wrong.
	I'm often wrong.
	Never in doubt, frequently wrong, as we say.
	But yesterday, the president did a very good thing with his speech and with his walk to St. John's, because he was not just going to St. John's, he was going to every storefront that had been vandalized, to every small business that had been destroyed.
	That's what I thought that was.
	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?
	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.
	And the president made that point in the Rose Garden speech yesterday, and he symbolically made that point by visiting St. John's Church, where every president has worshiped since James Madison.

	The death of George Floyd in Minnesota calls for justice through our system of due process.

	Following Floyd's death, peaceful protests were held. peaceful protests were held.
	We leave the male-female hour, which was absolutely riveting, I must say, and return, unfortunately, to Earth.

	So Jesse Lee Peterson, in a nutshell, what is your take on what is happening?
	First of all, Dennis, thank you again for having me on.
	I appreciate it.
	I'm not surprised about what's happening.
	This has been building up for the last 70 years.
	And it started, in all honesty, when they broke up the black family.
	As you know, I was born on a plantation down in Alabama.
	And one good thing that we, many good things, but one great thing is that we had family back then.
	Many women got married.
	They had children under the umbrella of God.
	They believed in God.
	The grandparents were around.
	We were taught to work from day one.
	And while growing up, my grandparents used to tell me all the time, especially my grandmother, She's like, we're going to take care of you until you're 18 years old.
	And once you turn 18, you're leaving here.
	And I'm like, where am I going?
	She was like, I don't know, and I don't care.
	But you're a grown man, you'll be ready, and you're going to leave.
	When I turned 18, I left home.
	I finished high school and left home.
	But I was prepared for it because we were taught to love and not to hate.
	We treated all people in spite of Jim Crow law.
	We treated all people the way that we would like to be treated.
	We were never taught to hate America.
	That was unheard of.
	And we were taught that there was good and evil in all people.
	Some people serve evil, some serve good.
	But we should treat all people as our neighbor, as our neighbor as ourselves, so we did.
	But I understand that the civil rights movement started, and the intent should have been to change the laws.
	So that the same law that governed white people governed black Americans, and we would have been fine today.
	It wouldn't be such as it is.
	But instead, they took the fathers out of the home.
	The so-called civil rights leaders became the heads of the people, the blacks.
	And the blacks stopped, not all, but most, stopped thinking for themselves and started relying on those people and relied on the Democratic Party.
	And it's just been downhill ever since.
	And today, black Americans are suffering.
	Not because of racism.
	Racism is a made-up word.
	And that word is used to divide and conquer, to keep blacks angry, and to keep whites underrun, catering to the blacks because they don't want to lose their stuff.
	And so it's the character.
	And if we don't restore the family as we've been doing at Barn for the last 30 years, it's going to only get worse instead of getting better because...
	Giving black people free stuff, catering to them is not solving the problem.
	But being honest with them about restoring the family and returning to God, loving America, is the answer to the problem.
	This has been tested.
	We've been under a test for a while.
	I remember when we had the knockout games happening in America, where the blacks were going around knocking out white people, robbing their stores in broad daylight.
	And there was nothing done about it.
	That was a test run.
	And when they noticed that America wasn't going to do anything, they kept on and kept on and kept on building and building evil until now we have this outburst in America.
	It's a chance, really.
	It's bad what we see happening.
	But if we deal with the right attitude, then we can restore America back to its normal state of being.
	But we've got to stand up and speak up, get involved, vote these people out.
	And bring in men and women who are going to stand for America and not against America.
	It's about character, not color.
	How do you react as a black man to the statement that there's endemic racism in America?
	That's a made-up lie.
	It doesn't exist.
	And no one can prove that it exists.
	But they use all these fancy words in order to deceive us.
	And they give us words with things that cannot be proven.
	There is no systemic racism.
	There is no racism, period.
	It's either good or evil.
	You treat people with love or you treat them with hate.
	When I was growing up, that word did not exist.
	It was right or wrong, not good or not racism.
	And people who are on the side of evil, they're going to treat you poorly.
	But that's just something they have to deal with.
	It doesn't mean that it's racism.
	And so this whole idea about systemic racism, sexism, Homophobism, Islam-phobism, Debbie Dad-ism, Allah-u-a-ba-ism, anti-Semitism, those are just made-up words.
	It's either right or wrong, good or evil.
	You're either of character or you're not.
	And that's what white Americans need to wake up and realize and start speaking the truth about.
	Otherwise, they're going to do more than just bend knees and lick boots and clean feet.
	That's not going to solve the problem at all.
	It's just bringing out the worst in the blacks rather than the good.
	How do you restore the black family?
	Well, the one thing that we've been doing at Bond for the last 30 years, we have men's forums every first Thursday night and ladies' forums every third Thursday night and Sunday morning meetings every Sunday at 11 a.m.
	What we're doing is showing them how to overcome the anger.
	Forgive their parents for failing them, not teaching them to work, not living in the right way and being good examples.
	And once they forgive, God forgive them and take that anger away from them so that they can see.
	Because anyone who has anger is living in the darkness and cannot see.
	But when these guys and ladies, too, overcome that anger, it's amazing how their lives start to change.
	The person color.
	It's not the physical person, him or herself.
	It's the heart.
	If the heart is not right, then they're going to give you a rough time and have a rough time in their own lives.
	And we have an entrepreneur academy where we start to teach these men how to start their own businesses, how to find jobs, and all that good things.
	And it's just been amazing.
	What is happening?
	And the organization now, Dennis, is worldwide.
	We work with men and women around the world.
	Everybody and their mama of all races.
	And they see that it's just starting to home.
	They have to forgive so that God can forgive them.
	And then they can see the right way to go and treat people in the right way.
	The organization, folks, is Bond.
	B-O-N-D. What is your take on police?
	I think I have much respect and I love police departments.
	I love the police around the world.
	They put their lives on the line every day to protect the innocent away from the criminals.
	And what they're trying to do to the police department today is unheard of.
	I pray to God that this is one thing that most Americans would stand up and say, no, this would not happen.
	Just imagine.
	They're talking about taking the guns away from the cops.
	But yet, the gang members in the inner cities around the country, and I'm very familiar with them, are loaded with all...
	Big city.
	Do you want the police disbanded or not?
	How do you think the vote would go?
	I personally believe that they would say not, because they know what's going on in their inner cities.
	So they would not want the police taken away like that.
	A lot of these families are living without fathers in the home.
	They just have the mother and the children.
	And in some cases, the mothers have to go to work.
	Just imagine if there's no cops around anywhere.
	The hell is just going to break loose.
	I tremble to think what would happen.
	And the idea is that not having fathers is bad enough, but then not to have police around to protect the family is overwhelming.
	A lot of blacks can't believe this.
	And they know that it's not about them, that somebody else is doing these things in order to gain power and wealth for themselves.
	They want to turn America into something else instead of the greatness that it is.
	And I've seen a lot of blacks, and I have to tell you, beforehand when President Trump first ran, there were many blacks who did not like him because they had believed into the lie.
	But now that they have seen what he has gone through...
	Already in the attacks and how he's able to overcome them, many other blacks are working where they were working until the Chinese virus thing happened, and now there's riots.
	And they really like the president, and they're going to vote for the president because they have seen for themselves, not what some politicians said or the media, that the man is a good man, he's doing his best.
	But they don't want the president there.
	This whole thing is not about...
	George Floyd, or whatever his name was, and that white cop.
	This is about an opportunity to get rid of President Trump, to take out the Republicans, and bring in the Democrats, and turn America into a socialist, crazy society.
	It's not about all that funeral stuff you saw with the golden costume.
	It's all just a sham.
	It's a scam in order to deceive the people.
	Those are men, black retired officers, I'm sure you know about.
	By the name of Dorian, I believe his last name.
	He was killed in the streets.
	They allowed the man to lay there and die alone while others run around yelling, I guess not knowing what to do.
	You don't hear one word about that.
	Not from the so-called Black Lives radical group, Black Lives Matter, or anyone.
	Why is it that one black life?
	It's more important than a thousand.
	They seem to love one black man that they didn't even know over an innocent one that was trying to do what was right.
	It's a scam, Dennis.
	It's somebody that's controlling Black Lives Matter and Antifa in order to reform or reshape America, and they can't do it with the president in there.
	They got to get him out.
	At the funeral, Dennis, they said, one of the preachers said, That it's time to clean out the White House.
	At this Lord God's funeral, what did that have to do with the funeral to go political?
	And most of those people who were at the funeral, they yelled out and they applaud and they were happy to hear that.
	This is a ploy to destroy America.
	And we better wake up and get involved before it's too late because there's nowhere else to go.
	It's the greatest country on this side of heaven.
	We better appreciate it and start standing up.
	Has won before it's too late.
	How does somebody get information about bond?
	They can go to rebuildingdemand.com, rebuildingdemand.com, or jlptalk.com, jlptalk.com.
	And for the elderly, they can call 800-411-BOND. Wait for anyone, really.
	800-411-2663.
	And I want to remind the people, this is a spiritual battle.
	We are a spirit created in the image of God, and there's a warfare between God's spirit, the good, and the evil, which is not of God.
	It has nothing to do with what we have been told.
	It's all lies.
	It's a game that's been played upon America, and we are a Judeo-Christian nation.
	We better come back to that before it's too late.
	I love you, Jesse.
	I love you too, Dennis, and it's a joy to be on with you again, man.
	Yes, we'll do it soon again.
	He is such a good soul that it's actually inspiring to be with him when I'm with him, which as you heard, is many decades.
	Been at my home, been there for Shabbat dinner.
	I've been to Bond.
	It's very powerful to meet people who understand, as he does, the issue is a values issue.
	That's really what it's about.
	The country was founded on wonderful values.
	Not everybody lived by them.
	But the attack is on the values.
	That's the problem.
	By the way, just I was reading here.
	This is from Migration Policy Institute.
	Sub-Saharan immigrants in the United States from November 2019. Slightly more than 2 million immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa.
	So Sub-Saharan, in case you don't know, means Black Africa.
	Because above the Sahara is Arab.
	Africa.
	Okay.
	Where there are blacks too, but it's mixed.
	Sub-Saharan means black.
	So 2 million immigrants from there.
	It is a rapidly growing immigration group.
	Between 2010 and 2018, the Sub-Saharan African population increased by 52%.
	Significantly outpacing the 12% growth rate for the overall foreign-born population during that same period.
	Why would so many black Africans want to come to a place of systemic racism?
	Where their chances of being allegedly beaten by a policeman or killed are so high, certainly maltreated.
	Let alone by the systemic white supremacy of every white being a racist.
	Did they not get the message in Africa that whites in America are all racist?
	Why would they come to such a place?
	Because it's a gigantic lie, and they know it.
	It's a gigantic lie.
	It is, as I wrote this years ago, it's the biggest lie of our age that America is a racist society.
	The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	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.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Burke.
	See you at PragerU.com where we teach what isn't told.
	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- I wanted to make a comment on your previous guest, but I guess he's not on right now, of course.
	You know, some of the things he's saying just didn't make any sense, you know.
	Of course, I can't go over every point, you know, of course he made, but one point when he made about the cops and, you know, as far as the racism in this country, I mean, this country is, you know, very racist.
	And when it comes to the cops, I'm not saying all cops are bad, Dennis.
	You know what I mean?
	I'm not saying that.
	I think the bigger problem with police officers is when you have...
	Those few cops that are bad, but those other four or five dozen cops don't say anything about it.
	You know what I mean?
	And it's a culture.
	And they let it slide, and they know that those guys should not be on the street, but they keep their mouths shut, and that's the bigger problem.
	I think that is a problem.
	I agree with you.
	Not kicking them out of the force or not speaking out against your colleagues, which is extremely hard to do in any profession, as we know.
	The clergy find it incredibly hard to speak about other clergy, the military about other military, teachers about other teachers.
	You know how many horrible teachers are kept in because of the teachers' union?
	I'm sure you do, so I'm not going to...
	Belabor the point.
	It's a very, very hard thing.
	But to say there is no racism...
	No, no, nobody...
	Jesse doesn't say that.
	I don't say...
	You have to be an idiot to say there's no racism.
	Of course there is.
	The question is how much.
	All of life is a matter of degree.
	It's like saying, are you healthy?
	Well, if I have a cold, or if I have cancer...
	I'm not healthy in either moment, but obviously there's a huge difference.
	Yes, I agree with that.
	So when you hear the statistic that is given that an entire year, 15, either 9 or 15, the Washington Post gives two different numbers.
	This is the Washington Post.
	9 or 15. Unarmed blacks were killed in the entire year by all the police in America combined.
	Does that number tell you anything?
	Yes, yes, it does.
	You said 9 or 15?
	Yes, it tells me something.
	You know what I mean?
	First thing I look at, okay, why is it only black?
	How many whites were killed in that same year by police?
	25. 25, okay.
	And that's in one year.
	How about the previous year?
	Same thing.
	It goes consistently.
	This is what I want to tell you.
	Kevin, this is the issue, and I'm so grateful for your call.

	Hugh, it's kind of amazing that in many of our biggest cities as of today, you can be arrested for trying to open your business and earn a living or going to church to worship your God, but you apparently can't be arrested for rioting and looting in groups of hundreds or thousands.
	That has to change, and it has to change tonight.
	Now, Senator Cotton, I may be wrong.
	I'm often wrong.
	Never in doubt, frequently wrong, as we say.
	But yesterday, the president did a very good thing with his speech and with his walk to St. John's, because he was not just going to St. John's, he was going to every storefront that had been vandalized, to every small business that had been destroyed.
	That's what I thought that was.
	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.
	And the president made that point in the Rose Garden speech yesterday.
	And he symbolically made that point by visiting St. John's Church, where every president has worshiped since James Madison.

	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.

	How we can start dismantling systemic racism.
	Defund the police.
	Here's what that really means.
	These are all separate articles.
	The problem of policing isn't bad apples.
	It's a diseased tree.
	After this crisis, policing should never be the same.
	The police no longer need the cover of darkness to kill innocent black people.
	And shut down all police movies and TV shows now.
	This is it.
	It's a propaganda machine, like the New York Times and the rest.
	I mean, they don't even, they're not embarrassed that you get only one view of life.
	The left-wing view of life.
	Because that's what they're in business for.
	They're in business to tell you all this.
	Shut down all police movies.
	They already did.
	Cops has now been taken off the air.
	God forbid you should see the good work that police do.
	God forbid.
	It's like taking off all medical shows because there were so many doctors who performed experiments on human beings for the Nazis.
	Right.
	What would you think of that?
	No more shows showing doctors doing good because of the doctors who did bad.
	The left is despicable.
	I don't know what...
	I think it's...
	I still think it's ultimately Jesse Peterson has the same view.
	It's ultimately the emptiness that secularism breeds in people, and they fill it with this sort of stuff.
	Look at how wonderful I am.
	I hate cops.
	Look at how wonderful I am.
	I hate racism.
	Look at how wonderful I am.
	I am fighting America, that piece of crap that I happen to live in.
	I am wonderful.
	America sucks.
	That's the leftist credo.
	Like they could have made such an institution.
	Well, they'll dismantle it.
	They are dismantling it.
	I mean, this idiocy, even a man who's identified as a conservative, sweet man, called up earlier in the show.
	They identify as a conservative.
	I believe people when they say that.
	Maybe we should spend more on mental health than on the police.
	I don't quite understand that.
	People are shot to death regularly in the United States of America, and you're going to call in what?
	I don't understand.
	Who do you call in to stop the shooting?
	A psychiatrist?
	A psychologist?
	Some other form of therapist?
	I don't even understand that.
	You think the primary problem in evil in the United States and murder is the biggest evil?
	Is mental health?
	God, what a secular view.
	It's mind-boggling.
	It's mind-boggling that people believe such nonsense.
	I'm telling you, college makes you stupid.
	Secularism is the antithesis of wisdom.
	That's really what is at the core of it.
	There are secular people who have wisdom, but secularism doesn't.
	Did you hear that list, though, that I gave you?
	Yeah, here's another one.
	He's truly one of the biggest fools writing in America, this Dana Milbank.
	Trump's Republican Party displays its systemic racism.
	Why?
	Because we don't believe that America is systemically racist.
	Therefore, we're systemically racist.
	Get it?
	Please don't be intimidated by the left.
	It's a house of cards.
	You just blow on it and it falls apart.
	That's why they don't debate.
	I hereby invite Dana Milbank onto the show.
	I think the Washington Post would publish a piece by me.
	Thank you.
	Of course not.
	Would I have a Washington Post opinion writer on my show?
	Absolutely.

	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 percent 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?

	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 a Marx, 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...
	Did you know that you can see visual highlights of my show every day on my YouTube channel?
	So sign up today, go to youtube.com, type in Dennis Prager channel, and click subscribe.
	Don't forget to click the bell icon so you'll be notified every time we put up a new clip.
	Ask your friends, relatives, in as gentle a way as possible.
	Why do they think that in the last 50 years or 40 years, 2 million sub-Saharan Africans, that is black Africans, immigrated to the United States?
	If America is systemically, endemically racist, are these people fools?
	I told you the story years ago.
	It was at Newark Airport.
	No, no, it was JFK. Not that it matters.
	I want to get it right.
	Having my shoes shined by a guy.
	I asked him where he's from.
	I always love to know where people are from.
	I don't remember.
	It was somewhere, and I had been there too, somewhere in West Africa.
	I've been to 20 African countries.
	I have a particular interest in Africa.
	Anyway, he...
	So I asked him at some point, I said, tell me, do you find America racist?
	And he was fascinating.
	He sort of looked around, see who might hear him.
	And it was clear he was struggling with what to say.
	And he looks at me and he goes, no.
	It was as if he was a traitor to his race by saying America's not racist.
	He knew what he's expected to say.
	Now, you could say, no, maybe he just said no because I'm white.
	But it's not like a black's fear saying to whites that America's racist.
	So, I don't think that that's the issue.
	This is an incredibly non-racist country.
	There are racists in it.
	There are anti-Semites in America.
	It's not an anti-Semitic country.
	I said about 25 years ago in a piece in UCLA magazine, Lies of the Root of Evil.
	you.
	And we're living it.
	The lie about the police, systemic racism.
	Tiny number of unarmed blacks killed.
	Tiny.
	And more unarmed whites killed.
	They don't give any data, all these pieces attacking the cops.
	They just tell you how terrible they are.
	I thought these are the people who say, oh, no, no, no, follow the science.
	Kelly, Danny, Reginald, Nina, Marak, John, Tom, I wish I could take your calls.
