	Thank you.
	My friends, I'm Dennis Prager and it is good to be with you.
	Thank you.
	I would like to publicly thank Glenn Beck for bringing attention to my columns and having me on the show.
	A lot of good people in America.
	A lot of not good people in America.
	I know I've told you this.
	Which is probably even foolish for me to even say.
	But I'm...
	It's one of my idiosyncrasies.
	It's hard to know your own idiosyncrasies, by the way.
	That there's always a voice in me if I ever say anything a second time saying, you know, you already said that, Dennis.
	There's this contemptuous voice in me.
	Do any of you have contemptuous voices about yourself and you?
	Interesting question.
	That's why he's the living martyr.
	He has constant contemptuous voices of himself inside of him.
	You could have run 10 miles today on one leg, and you ran on both legs.
	It'd be an example of something he would say.
	You slept five hours.
	You surely could have slept four and a half hours.
	You took a cold shower.
	It could have been colder.
	There could have been ice.
	And don't call you Shirley.
	That's correct.
	Why is he paid?
	Why is Sean paid?
	This is up there with why God made the mosquito.
	All right, anyway.
	The Hebrew word for the public or the community is composed, almost every Hebrew word is composed of a three-letter root.
	Because there are no vowels, essentially, in the Hebrew alphabet.
	They're added through dots and marks.
	And the three letters that make up the word for community compose an acronym.
	And they are righteous, middle, and evil.
	It's a brilliant little insight.
	every community has these three groups my video this week I I only do about 1/10 of the Prager Is that correct?
	There are about 450. Have I done 45?
	I don't even know if I've done 45. But let's just say, one out of ten videos I do.
	Nine out of ten, other people do.
	People give.
	But I give this one for the July 4th weekend, and it's why I love America.
	And if you read the comments on the video at PragerU or YouTube, I guess.
	No, no, there are no comments at PragerU.
	The comments are at YouTube, yeah.
	And Facebook.
	I've hit a nerve in a positive way.
	Thank you for saying such wonderful things about our country.
	It's actually a painful thing for me.
	I mean personally painful.
	There are two things that are so many, but two things particularly painful.
	To see America smeared.
	And the other is the utter and total moral and intellectual collapse of all the elites.
	They go hand in hand, but to see it, the university is a wasteland.
	The scientific community has been utterly compromised.
	I mean, that they came out, thousands of scientists were people in science.
	Yes, it's bad for people to congregate during the COVID pandemic.
	However, if you are demonstrating against racism, it's actually healthy because racism is a health issue.
	You hear that?
	So the virus doesn't really know, well, or does know whom to affect.
	This was signed by thousands, signed by 1,200, I think, and so many more have joined the voice.
	One of the reasons I don't really get depressed, I mean clinically depressed, because I love liberty, and I love America, which is the last best hope for Earth, is that I'm not which is the last best hope for Earth, is that I'm I'll see you next time.
	I have been saying all of my life that one of the most important insights you can have is that the will of man's heart is towards evil from his youth.
	And so I'm not shocked at human perfidy.
	It still, however, is dismaying.
	You would think that people would understand when something good existed.
	My column this week, which I I ask you to read every week.
	Just go to DennisPrager.com and sign up to receive it.
	People are afraid to sign up for things.
	I'm not exactly sure why I sign up for so many things because, A, I want to support them morally.
	It's not a financial commitment.
	And B, I want to know what the person's saying or what that group is saying regularly.
	Every Tuesday I have a column, and this is about how this Moment has set back black life, specifically black life, has set it back 50 years.
	If Uncle Ben is racist, if the statues of George Washington have to be brought down, if people are measured by a comment they made in the 1990s, I'm sure people have scoured sources to defame me.
	They will not have an easy time, because there's nothing to find.
	I never went blackface, never used the N-word, anything like that.
	But I have to say, on behalf of all these liberals who used blackface, was it in every case a case of racism?
	Doesn't the left pride itself in nuance?
	They always say that conservatives believe in black and white.
	We believe in nuance.
	People's lives are ended?
	Or have to say the opposite of what they believe in a day?
	Drew Brees' thing still sticks in my mind.
	Quarterback, New Orleans Saints.
	Sort of a saint in his world and community.
	You know, I think we should stand for the national anthem and show it respect.
	Next day, boy, was I wrong.
	I spoke to my black teammates and I realized, oh, this is not disrespectful in the least.
	Yeah, so day one, two and two is four.
	Day two, two and two is five.
	It's not respectful to the flag.
	Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the National Anthem.
	And you are one in 40,000 that takes a knee.
	But that's not disrespectful.
	Anyway, there's a movement to get rid of the National Anthem.
	It's racist.
	We have a video on that, by the way.
	Is the national anthem racist?
	I feel, I was talking to a young person yesterday.
	I forgot who.
	And I was saying, because I speak to a lot of people, I have not been assiduous in avoiding people in this lockdown.
	I feel bad for your generation.
	Oh yeah, I know who it was.
	Yeah, it was the waitress at the restaurant that I frequent.
	She's like 22 years old.
	Sweet human being.
	And I didn't say all of the reasons, but the reason I'm saying now is to have nothing to admire.
	No one to admire.
	If George Washington is a fiend, if Abraham Lincoln is a fiend, you have nothing.
	Those were important figures when I grew up.
	Who does the left want you to look up to?
	Angela Davis?
	A communist?
	A woman found guilty in helping in a murder?
	Accessory to a murder?
	To see the world through the prism of color?
	When most of them don't give a hoot about color?

	Public health officials across America have spent the last several months warning about the dangers of the coronavirus and the need for us to stay at home, halt economic activity, and avoid social interactions with our friends and neighbors.
	We are now reopening our economy in many parts of the country, but these same public health officials have compromised their own credibility as we do so.
	On the one hand, they've urged caution and a slow return to work, school, and faith gatherings.
	They've criticized those who oppose the stay-at-home orders.
	But at the same time, these officials have been broadly supportive of the large protests on America's streets in the last few weeks.
	Public health officials should be helping us understand the comparative risks of activities, not endorsing the causes they like while prohibiting the ones they don't.
	Their hypocrisy is costly indeed.
	They have impacted our ability to address future health crises.

	According to court papers that were filed yesterday, Joe Biden appears to have personally raised the idea of investigating Michael Flynn for potentially violating the obscure,
	never-used Logan Act when he talked to the Russian ambassador at the time.
	These were previously sealed documents.
	If the media was worth a damn, pardon my language, I'm in a bad mood today.
	If they were worth a damn.
	There'd be a big front-page story that reveals facts, oh, like this one.
	The then-FBI director, James Comey, acknowledged during a meeting that involved Sally Yates, possibly Susan Rice, that General Flynn's conversation with Sergey Kislyak, his conversations, quote, appear legit.
	According to the federal court filing out of Washington, D.C. that were just revealed.
	This was revealed in handwritten notes that were prepared by this disgraced ex-FBI agent, Peter Strzok.
	Flynn's lawyers are referring to this as stunning and exculpatory evidence.
	But, of course, now the government has dropped the case, dropped the charges.
	But listen to this.
	This is where it matters.
	A partially blacked out...
	As the July 4th weekend approaches, and as we drown in anti-American rhetoric, it's a good time to reflect on why we should be so grateful to live in this wonderful country.
	That's what I do in this week's Prager University video, Why I Love America.
	See it at PragerU.com, where we teach what isn't taught.
	Why I love America at PragerU.com.
	I wish every American could see it.
	Ask a leftist, what do you love?
	They did.
	They asked, was it Marcuse?
	Many, many years ago.
	I think it was.
	Obviously it was.
	He died many years ago.
	He was a major leftist in the U.S. And what do you love about America?
	And he said the mountains.
	That woman I read to you yesterday, giant whole page in the physical New York Times, The gigantic thing so featured was her article.
	She looks in the mirror and she sees the rape of her Female ancestors by white men.
	150, 200 years ago.
	That's what she sees.
	This is astonishing, the preoccupation with slavery now.
	150 years later.
	And by the way, there's a reason.
	Because things are so...
	Fair and decent, generally speaking, for blacks now.
	That's why you have so many race hoaxes, because there isn't that much racism.
	Just remember that.
	I've got to tweet that out.
	I don't tweet much.
	It's a very important little insight.
	Two million black African sub-Saharan Africans come to the U.S. in the last 50 years.
	Poor things coming to a systemically racist country.
	Hmm.
	These things are never raised.
	you Yesterday I reported to you that, was it Houston?
	Yeah, in real estate, they're no longer calling the bedroom, the biggest bedroom, the master bedroom.
	So some of you are very smart.
	Here's an example of an email from Melissa in Fairview Park, Ohio.
	I have a master's degree.
	Does that make me a racist?
	That's good.
	I mean, why won't they rename that?
	Have a master's degree?
	Whoa!
	You know, they used to have a master as the person who ran one of the houses.
	Yale is divided into houses.
	They dropped that.
	I mean, it really strikes me as an insult to blacks that a master bedroom triggers a traumatic response in the black American.
	Oh, there's a master bedroom there.
	That implies whatever it implies.
	When blacks buy houses, they don't have master bedrooms.
	Master's degree, that's a good one.
	I got some other with the word master in it, but I can't speak about that on the air.
	People were having a fun time.
	The NBA is going to have Black Lives Matter embedded on the court.
	Did you see that article?
	In big letters on the court.
	Not just on the back of jerseys with social messages.
	Will people still go?
	And the issue is not the sentiment.
	The issue is, this is a first in the history of pro sports that you have completely politicized the game.
	What if you think that the organization Black Lives Matter, as opposed to the sentiment, Is a force of destruction in America.
	Like the Black Panthers were.
	If you think that, you're not welcome in an NBA game.
	What if I just think...
	Listen, there are many causes I support.
	And I don't want them emblazoned on jerseys or the court.
	The whole point of sports is to have a place that's a refuge from everything else.
	It was literally, until the left ruined it, it was literally the only place that I could think of outside, I guess, of a movie theater where left and right could cheer sitting next to one another.
	The only color that matters at a sports event is the color of the uniform of the team you root for.
	correct I wonder if any team will allow white uniforms now if You're rooting for the color white.
	It's your home team.
	By the way, does this not prove to you how little racism there is in the U.S.? If you have to go after Master Bedroom and Uncle Ben, doesn't that prove how little racism there is?
	That's what you're fighting?
	Uncle Ben on a rice carton?
	Aunt Jemima?
	That's what we've come to?
	Wow.
	David in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
	Hello.
	How are you doing, Dennis?
	I'm well, thank you.
	Dennis, I want to ask you, which one do you feel is disrespecting the flag?
	Kneeling, doing the anthem, or when the government, the federal government in corporate America, hired Subcontractors that work illegal immigrants in this nation.
	They work illegal immigrants in this nation and put American citizens out of jobs.
	Which one is disrespecting the flag?
	The first one disrespects the flag.
	The second one disrespects American workers.
	And that's disrespecting the what?
	That's disrespecting American workers.
	No, America is consist of people.
	It's not just the flag.
	I agree.
	So when something...
	So they're disrespecting the flag.
	Is that right?
	No, no, no.
	What you're saying is anytime anyone does anything wrong in America, if you violate the speed limit, are you disrespecting the flag?
	Yeah, wait.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, it's a big stretch.
	Did you break it down?
	Anyway, I'm curious.
	Since you were correctly offended by the number of jobs lost to illegal immigrants, do you vote Republican or Democrat?
	It don't make no difference.
	Both of them stand for the same thing.
	Republicans can do the same thing.
	Yeah, but you obviously vote for one of them.
	All right, my friend.
	I'm sorry we didn't have more time.
	The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show. .
	Hey there, folks.
	It's The Eric Metaxas Show, and I am talking to my friend Larry Elder, who has made a film called Uncle Tom, UncleTom.com.
	In these crazy times, boy, folks, you need to see this film.
	Larry, let's talk about what's happening in the country right now.
	Speaking as a black man, what do you say?
	To people in my audience, some of whom are tremendously confused by this, and I think it's because of white guilt.
	It's a combination of white guilt, a combination of Trump derangement syndrome, and a combination of, I think, coronavirus cabin fever, because people have been locked up for a couple of months, so it's sort of a perfect storm.
	And I must also say, a bunch of young people have been indoctrinated by what I call the access...
	of indoctrination, and it's Hollywood academia and media that have told them that they are a victim, that racism and sexism and whatever ism you want remain major factors in American life, when none of these things is significant anymore.
	Racism has never been a more insignificant factor in success in American life.
	I thought when Obama got elected in 2008, he put a fork in the idea that there was institutional racism.
	And you're looking at all these things that are going on right now in America.
	In Baltimore in 2015, when Freddie Gray died in police custody, he's the one who's head hit that van.
	You're talking about a city that's about 50% black.
	The mayor was black.
	The number one and number two people running the police department were black.
	The state attorney that brought the charges against the six officers was black.
	Three of the six officers were black.
	The judge before whom two of the officers tried their cases, by the way, and found them not guilty was black.
	All of city council was Democrat, majority black.
	The U.S. attorney at the time, Loretta Lynch, was black.
	And the president of the United States was black.
	We're talking about institutional racism.

	They're so brave.
	Boy, they're standing tall, aren't they?
	And now it's time to reassess America's national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner.
	Last week, Lindsay Parker, editor-in-chief, writes, protesters in San Francisco toppled a statue of the song's composer, Francis Scott Key, a known slaveholder, who once said that African Americans were a distinct and inferior race of people.
	This week, a student at New York's Urban Assembly School for the Performing Arts refused to sing the Star Spangled Banner at her virtual graduation ceremony.
	She told the Wall Street Journal, who evidently was interested in why she would do such a thing, with everything that's happening, she said, if I stand there and sing it, I'm being complicit.
	To a system that has oppressed people of color.
	Instead, she sang Lift Every Voice and Sing, which is a hymn widely considered to be the black national anthem.
	That, incidentally, is one of the strong recommendations in this Yahoo article that replace the Star Spangled Banner, Lift Every Voice and Sing, which incidentally is also.
	A beautiful song.

	You know, you hear always about this uptick in cases.
	I don't quite understand why that matters.
	I mean, let's say theoretically everybody had it and one-tenth of one percent was hospitalized.
	Would you care?
	It's part of the fake news world.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I live in Southern California.
	The beaches are closed this weekend, July 4th.
	Because of the uptick in cases.
	I look at one statistic regularly.
	Deaths.
	Now, there would be another one.
	I mean, if there was one permanent damage to lungs, for example, I would look at that too, but there is no data on that.
	I remember in March when people said, oh, this is going to last to July, people thought, oh, you've got to be kidding.
	Not possible.
	You're a big baseball fan.
	You're going to watch games where there's no spectator?
	You're totally out.
	You have zero interest.
	I mean, you're a baseball fantasy league guy your whole adult life, basically.
	First time in over 30 years, yeah.
	I mean, now I actively ask people not to watch, especially not to watch.
	The ratings have to go down.
	Anyway, the chutzpah.
	You know the classic definition of chutzpah?
	A kid who kills his parents and then begs for mercy from the court on the grounds that he's an orphan.
	That's chutzpah.
	It's chutzpah.
	Players are saying every single one of you whites is despicable.
	Because racist is despicable, let's be honest.
	If it's not despicable, it's a pointless term, isn't it?
	But I want you to pay to see me play and cheer for me.
	That's chutzpah.
	Now that's chutzpah.
	Yeah, that's chutzpah.
	Let's hear it again from Charles Krauthammer.
	Now that's chutzpah.
	That's good.
	It takes a lot of hotspots.
	Well, that's good too.

	That's why I called in.
	I am moved beyond words.
	You know, Dennis, when I was in college back in the 1980s, living in the dorm, there was an individual that was called the headmaster.
	And I'm kind of wondering if that title needs to be retired.
	Yeah, or not only college.
	I mean, the number of private schools with headmasters.
	You are right.
	I mean, the language will be scrubbed.
	Just scrubbed.
	But don't you realize, folks?
	All of this is a testimony to how little racism there is in the country.
	When this is what you have to fight?
	The word master as in headmaster?
	By the way, they're going to stop calling conductors maestro?
	Maestro means master.
	Relief factor is so good that I had to talk Sean out of looting some relief factor.
	But he said, wait a minute.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	I know how good it is.
	I have this ache.
	And I reminded him he's a God-fearing man.
	And he has repented ever since.
	Poor relief factor that they have to endure me.

	800-583-84 relieffactor.com Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berger I saw the first video that went viral, but I didn't know until I watched Garen
	Thumb's video that that wasn't the only thing you did that day, and that was the second weapon that you retrieved from rioters who had broken into a patrol car system.
	So tell us everything that happened prior to that, and then the second incident.
	The corner of the street watching, and I'm holding security for my team, and I see these police vehicles that are being destroyed, and the first thing I thought when I saw them was, hey, you know, there's probably AR-15 patrol rifles in there, which there should, you know, there honestly should be.
	The police do need them.
	They have more than enough cars to have them.
	So I told myself I need to keep an eye on this situation because this could turn bad very fast.
	It did, you know.
	Gun comes out of the front windshield, or front windshield, front passenger side, and I yelled gun, put my team immediately in a safe position and told them not to move.
	That guy fired several rounds into those vehicles and then went into a doorway and took cover.
	At that time, when he was firing, I was already moving on him.
	But you had a handgun.
	All you had was a handgun, and in the first incident that most people haven't seen, the person, the rider who took the weapon, was actually firing rounds off from that rifle, from that carbine, correct?
	Yep, absolutely.
	And who were they firing at?
	Was anybody hurt?
	No, the second that rifle came out, someone was yelling, clear the block, and everyone kind of saw that this guy had a rifle.
	He fired into the vehicle, but he fired in the vehicle, everyone had split and went different ways down the street, so there's no one there.

	Folks, I'm talking to my friend Larry Elder, who has produced a glorious film called Uncle Tom, UncleTom.com.
	Larry Elder, who are some of the figures that appear in this film?
	I mentioned a couple of them a moment ago.
	You mentioned Carol Swain.
	She was a law professor at Vanderbilt in Tennessee.
	Got all sorts of grief because she, among other things, opposed race-based preferences, argued that they actually hurt black people because you're putting them on a track much faster than they can handle.
	They would have been perfectly fine at a lesser competitive school, but because we decided that there ought to be some sort of racial mixture at a given school, whether the kid can do the work or not.
	We've also got Herman Cain in there.
	Herman Cain was, of course, maligned as an Uncle Tom in a sellout when he ran because, by definition, any black person who's a Republican is an Uncle Tom in a sellout.
	Never mind the skanky history of the Democratic Party, which, by the way, we go over in the film, I think, pretty thoroughly.
	The Democratic Party, of course, is a party of slavery.
	Democrats unanimously oppose the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment.
	Larry, I just want to interrupt.
	When people say stuff like what you're saying right now, I always have to hit pause and say, I want to remind you that this is probably the best time you will ever have in terms of getting a low mortgage rate.
	And I strongly suggest that you contact Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
	If you're considering a refi, new purchase, cash-out refi, or a reverse mortgage, don't wait.
	Did you know that you can see visual highlights?
	The lockdown.
	Go to andrewandtodd.com or call Sierra Pacific Mortgage 8888-888-1172 or go to andrewandtodd.com and they will take it from there.
	Dennis Prager here.
	I was thinking about the defunding the police.
	Now, here's an interesting question that I would love an answer to.
	Among those in America who support defunding or even getting rid of police departments, what percentage of those people have college degrees?
	In other words, what percentage of people who believe it is a good idea to defund the police went to college?
	And how many only graduated high school?
	Even better, now that I think of it, what percentage of people with an advanced degree support defunding the police?
	Or what percentage of those who support it have an advanced degree?
	In other words, I truly believe when I say there is no hyperbole whatsoever intended.
	College makes you stupid.
	There are people who graduate college who are not stupid, but it is despite college, not because of it.
	There are some intelligent people who graduate.
	Defund the police.
	So what is happening in New York City?
	As a result of the defunding of police in New York City, there is a massive spike in death and maiming, paralyzing, injuring.
	By people killing people.
	But that is why, remember, that truth is not a left-wing value.
	The very notion black lives matter, they don't believe.
	They only believe black lives matter if killed by a white policeman.
	That is it.
	The deaths of other blacks are actually a distraction.
	From Black Lives Matter.
	Radio station WINS in New York reports, a spike in gun violence has left over 100 people wounded or killed in dozens of shootings across New York City over the past nine days.
	There have been 112 victims in 83 shootings over a nine-day period ending Saturday.
	112 victims 83 shootings.
	If you heard this was a report from Honduras, you'd go, whoa, that's a very violent place.
	I think I mentioned Honduras because that is supposedly the most violent of the Central American countries.
	And ironically, I actually was in the city that has the most violence.
	What is it?
	Sula?
	San Pedro Sula, yeah.
	I wonder how wonderful the people were there.
	My heart breaks when I read about it.
	Amid calls to defund the police ahead of the June 30th deadline for the city budget, that's today, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said last week that the city's homicide rate had hit a five-year high and that the criminal justice system was imploding.
	You know, of course, there's no bail.
	This is another quote-unquote progressive idea.
	So you are brought to court on murder, and you're let out.
	My wife asked me an interesting question.
	What happens if the murders start in Main Street America?
	They're not confined to the inner city.
	Will there be then support for the people who advocate defunding the police?
	You understand, my dear friends, that if you vote for the Democratic Party, you are voting for these civilization-destroying ideas.
	If your hatred of Donald Trump is greater than your love of America, there's nothing I can do.
	Except point that out to you.
	That is blinding you to what the left is doing to this country.
	Nothing is guaranteed.
	It's amazing.
	I get the question.
	Ben Shapiro just wrote about this.
	You know, why do so many Jews vote left?
	It's particularly stupid now when you think about it.
	To get hit when civilization weakens are the Jews.
	The number of foolish Jews may be higher proportionately than any other group of which I am aware, and since I'm a Jew and a committed one, I can say this with ease.
	Say it with sadness, but with ease.
	Part of the problem is that Jews are so well-educated.
	It means well-indoctrinated.
	Jews in America are the luckiest Jews in world history.
	My father taught me this, and he did his senior class thesis on antisemitism in America.
	And he taught me that I was the luckiest Jew in history to be an American Jew.
	Just for the record, You're the luckiest anything to be an American, whatever you are.
	You're the luckiest Hispanic.
	You're the luckiest Black.
	Were you a lucky Black when you were a slave?
	No.
	But just for the record, I'm broadcasting in 2020, not 1860. This is a relevant point.
	Civilization is fragile.
	That's why I don't vote Democrat.

	How did we get there?
	Do you believe that the Democrats are invested in economic despair?
	Because it seems to me they are ignoring every positive sign and emphasizing every negative one.
	All they care about is elections.
	All they care about is power.
	They don't care about solving problems.
	Look at Tim Scott's law enforcement bill.
	I mean, they didn't want to even have a conversation about it.
	Because, oh gosh, we might pass a bill and then the Republicans might get some credit for it.
	Donald Trump might actually sign something.
	That wouldn't be good for the Democrats, for Joe Biden.
	All this is they're all talk and no action.
	They're not out there to help people.
	They're not out there to help people get a job.
	They might be out there to help people become dependent, which doesn't help you long term, but not help you get a job.
	Now, Senator Scott, recent polls show the president down between 7 and 10 points in Florida.
	Now, I don't believe those polls.
	I believe he will win Florida handily.
	But you know Florida having won three statewide races there in the last nine years.
	What do you think the president's reelection chances are in Florida?
	Oh, he's going to win.
	First off, you go back to look at the polls of my races.
	I never, none of the polls ever said I was going to win.
	All the polls were generally off four to seven points.
	This is a 50-50 state, but here's why Donald Trump is going to win.
	Does he care about law enforcement?
	Yes.
	Do the Democrats?
	No.
	They don't care about law enforcement.
	Does he care about the economy?
	Yes.
	Do the Democrats?
	No.
	What have they done?
	They believe in socialism.
	And think about, there's some issues down here that are going to help Trump.
	Cuba.

	Hey Dennis, how's it going?
	Okay, thank you.
	Hi, I'm a big fan of yours.
	I agree with about like 99% of what you say and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for changing my life.
	I was studying nonsense at university and Prager, you really brought me back down to reality.
	You made my day.
	Thank you very much.
	Yeah, I was hoping one day I can meet you, and I actually got to meet Jordan Peterson, so I wanted to meet you too, because you're like my biggest hero.
	But I was wondering, what are your thoughts on Dr. Fauci testifying before the Senate today?
	I didn't hear what he said.
	What did he say?
	He said that there's no guarantee of a safe or effective vaccine.
	That's honest.
	That's a nice honesty.
	Yes, of course it's true.
	This notion that Ezekiel Emanuel, the science advisor to Joe Biden, well, we'll just have to be at a lockdown until a vaccine.
	Folks, I have taken just about every vaccine there is.
	I take flu shots.

	Coronavirus.
	The answer is, look, I think one of the answer is the prophylactic use of hydroxychloroquine and zinc, which, since I practice what I preach, I have been doing.
	And I also believe that we are far better capable of handling people who do get seriously sick.
	And there is a philosophical issue.
	You cannot keep the society closed this long and have a society function and survive.
	Some people will die.
	I may be one of them.
	But we are no longer either the land of the free or the home of the brave.
	We are the land of the cancel culture and of the suppression of dissent and the land of the coward.
	That's what's happened.
	It breaks my heart.
	And I have a video out this week, Why I Love America, which I still do.
	But the so-called elites are composed of people who do not believe in liberty and who are cowardly.
	Tragically, that even applies to the clergy, as my column last week and what I discussed with Glenn Beck on his radio show today.
	That's right.

	Public health officials across America have spent the last several months warning about the dangers of the coronavirus and the need for us to stay at home, halt economic activity, and avoid social interactions with our friends and neighbors.
	We are now reopening our economy in many parts of the country, but these same public health officials have compromised their own credibility as we do so.
	On the one hand, they've urged caution and a slow return to work, school, and faith gatherings.
	They've criticized those who oppose the stay-at-home orders.
	But at the same time, these officials have been broadly supportive of the large protests on America's streets in the last few weeks.
	Public health officials should be helping us understand the comparative risks of activities, not endorsing the causes they like while prohibiting the ones they don't.
	Their hypocrisy is costly indeed.
	They have impacted our ability to address future health crises.

	According to court papers that were filed yesterday, Joe Biden appears to have personally raised the idea of investigating Michael Flynn for potentially violating the obscure,
	never-used Logan Act when he talked to the Russian ambassador at the time.
	These were previously sealed documents.
	If the media was worth a damn, pardon my language, I'm in a bad mood today.
	If they were worth a damn.
	There'd be a big front-page story that reveals facts, oh, like this one.
	The then-FBI director, James Comey, acknowledged during a meeting that involved Sally Yates, possibly Susan Rice, that General Flynn's conversation with Sergey Kislyak, his conversations, quote, appear legit.
	According to the federal court filing out of Washington, D.C. that were just revealed.
	This was revealed in handwritten notes that were prepared by this disgraced ex-FBI agent, Peter Strzok.
	Flynn's lawyers are referring to this as stunning and exculpatory evidence.
	But, of course, now the government has dropped the case, dropped the charges.
	But listen to this.
	This is where it matters.
	A partially blacked out copy of Peter Strzok's notes is attached to the filing and includes a mention that appears to say, this is scrawled, this is like chicken scratch, but it appears to say VP colon Logan Act.

	After a few things about the movie, I was then asked what I think about race and racism in America.
	And I said that it is no longer a major factor.
	Well, what about the Confederate generals after whom military bases have been named?
	Surely you possess that?
	I said, I'm indifferent.

	The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.
	Abigail Schreier, who has been on this program, writes for the Wall Street Journal now fairly regularly.
	Thank God.
	And I don't know how you withstood it, but she has a BA from Columbia.
	B. Phil from Oxford.
	And a JD from Yale Law.
	I am curious, through all of those prestigious places, were you lonely or have you evolved philosophically?
	I was an intern at Commentary Magazine, so I used to work there.
	On Fridays.
	So I was always, you know, I don't think I shifted that much ideologically, but I certainly, you know, had my friends wherever I went, and that was true even at crazy Yale Law School.
	Yale Law has really flipped out.
	Do you know a professor at Yale Law just wrote a book against meritocracy.
	Are you familiar with that?
	Well, so are you talking about...
	Oh, that's right.
	Was it Markovitz?
	Yes.
	That's right.
	Is it Yale or Princeton?
	No, no, no.
	Markovitz is at Yale.
	He's at Yale, yeah.
	I saw that.
	Anthony Cronman, though, also wrote a book in defense of meritocracy, which was excellent.
	And is he Yale Law?
	He was the dean, yeah.
	He was the dean while I was there.
	And, of course, the Federalist Society was actually founded at Yale.
	So we always had, you know, pockets of conservatism.
	The book is Irreversible Damage.
	Which is so true.
	The transgender craze seducing our daughter.
	So this is not a book about transgender generally.
	It's specific to young girls.
	Yeah, it's about the epidemic we're seeing right now of transgender identification among teenage girls.
	Adolescent girls who've had no childhood history of gender dysphoria, which is the...
	Discomfort in one's biological sex.
	No childhood history.
	Suddenly deciding in friend groups that they're transgender and pushing for hormones and surgeries.
	It's a phenomenon that's exploded across the West, Scandinavia, England, and America.
	And it really cries out for explanation.
	And that's what I sought to do in this book.
	Of course it cries out for explanation.
	Especially if, and this is a question, This is not nearly as common among adolescent boys.
	Well, so we have a nearly hundred year diagnostic history of gender dysphoria and it was always little boys who began with it.
	The onset began in early childhood, ages two and four, little boys saying, I don't want to be a boy, I'm a girl, call me by a girl name, you know, I only want to play with girls, that sort of thing.
	So we know what gender dysphoria is.
	We have never seen it like this.
	So all of a sudden now, the dominant demographic is teenage girls in the last decade.
	It came out of nowhere.
	And they really, what they exhibit, even though they call it gender dysphoria, it doesn't look like gender dysphoria.
	These are girls who steepen social media.
	Transgender gurus and influencers on the internet, all kinds of social media, Instagram, Facebook, you know, TikTok, all of them.
	And they decide with their friends that they are trans.
	And the numbers are astonishing.
	We're talking about thousands of percentage point rise.
	In the last, you know, 10 years in America, we've gone from two gender clinics in the country to well over 50. You know, in between 2016 and 2017, the number of...
	Gender surgeries for natal females quadrupled.
	If my daughter is 15 and says, Dad, Mom, I want you to know I'm really a boy, can I legally take my daughter to a therapist to work it out and stay?
	With a female identity, or is that against the law?
	So this is part of the reason we have the problem, is that the co-opting of the medical professional organizations.
	So I think we're up to 18 states now in the District of Columbia.
	There are laws banning so-called conversion therapy.
	Now, the conversion therapy that tried to reform or convert homosexuals was a very grisly thing, and it probably should be outlawed.
	But they inserted, you know, very smart activists inserted gender identity language.
	So now therapists are not allowed to help a child get comfortable in their biological sex.
	Wherever these laws apply, they risk losing their licenses.
	Just for the record, while I know the grisly record that you speak of, in a free society, if there is no coercion or deception, people should be allowed.
	I had dinner with a gay man who's a Christian, totally acknowledged that's why I knew he was honest.
	He acknowledged he's attracted to men to this day.
	But he said, I'm a Christian, I want to lead a heterosexual life.
	Married a woman, has children with her.
	She knows exactly where his fantasy world lies.
	He's a loving husband.
	If he wants to work that out with a therapist, I think even that should be legal.
	You know, maybe it should be.
	But I think that the laws were...
	Ostensibly intended to prohibit the really, you know, nasty and abusive practice.
	I know, electrical shock therapy.
	Yes, exactly.
	But instead, I mean, in the history of gender dysphoria, you know, for decades and decades now, therapists have very successfully helped children, you know, get comfortable in their biological sex.
	By the way, in the DSM-IV or V, whatever they're up to, the Manual of Psychiatric Diseases or Ailments or whatever the term is, Is gender dysphoria even now listed?
	It is, but it certainly seems to be on the way out.
	They've changed the name, so it's no longer gender identity disorder.
	What is it called?
	Gender dysphoria, and that de-emphasizes the psychopathology.
	Wait, how does the word dysphoria...
	De-emphasize psychopathology.
	The word disorder is no longer in the term.
	So even though it's in a diagnostic...
	Anytime you have dis, it's a bad sign.
	Dystopia is like the opposite of utopia.
	Okay, anyway, this is happening with more and more girls.
	Yes.
	And one of the reasons you wrote this really important book is to explain this to the best of your ability.
	So take it away.
	Why do you think this is happening?
	So I think it's happening for a bunch of reasons.
	One of the most important reasons is that the girls today are in mental health crisis like we've never seen before.
	Suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety, these things are through the roof.
	They are for not only teens, but tweens.
	Before they're teenagers, so I guess ages 9 to 12, we've never seen suicide among this population.
	Now we do.
	So we know these girls are in terrible distress, and we know that it's linked to social media.
	that these girls really torment themselves in the endless comparing that goes on and these horrible feedback loops of feeling bad about themselves that social media really encourages and exacerbates.
	Give me an example.
	Cool.
	I'm really not familiar.
	So say you're a high school student or a middle school student and you feel bad about your body because it's changing so dramatically and you've put on some weight and you've got all this discomfort and and you know sort of alienation in your body which is very normal for a young girl.
	So you might look at another girl when you were my age and say wow she's much prettier than I am.
	I think she's people like her way more than they do me.
	Well now you simply go on to say Instagram and you see just how much they like her more and just how much prettier she is because you see how many likes she gets.
	And in fact, if she goes out with friends and excludes you, it's not just something you're wondering about.
	Gosh, did they go to the mall without me?
	No, you see it on Instagram.
	Everybody knows they excluded you.
	And they may even comment on how you look.
	They'll post pictures of you.
	And they'll say how bad you look in your dress or how much weight you've put on or anything else.
	So we know that social media is incredibly cruel to girls.
	And because of...
	You know, all sorts of things in the culture that have allowed transgender identification to really rise in sort of cultural esteem and value.
	This is one thing that young girls have grabbed onto, they've latched onto as an explanation.
	Of what's wrong with them.
	Oh, it must be gender dysphoria.
	It's sort of in the culture now.
	That doesn't mean they're right, just like they weren't right about any of the past hysteria, demonic possession, all the, you know, multiple personality disorders.
	It doesn't mean they're correct in their self-diagnosis.
	So if you have a bad self-image, that contributes.
	Sure, you think.
	And also the schools are pushing this.
	All right, so tell me that in a moment, because I want to push your book.
	Is that okay with you?
	Thank you.

	Are we witnessing simply 1968 redux, or is this a far more cynical shell game whereby the left, the institutional left, says we have no way to win the election on policy platforms, so we're going to use violence on the streets, and that's going to be a feint or a dodge.
	Are these people sincere, Professor, or is this a political play?
	Well, it's being aided and abetted by the DNC, and they see it as useful, as a lot of would-be architects of revolution do.
	They think it's useful to cause chaos or to pressure the blue states not to participate in the recovery or whatever their agenda for the November election.
	And in that sense, it's a little different.
	What I see as different from 1968 is we didn't have mayors and governors.
	Actively resisting help from the federal government and either sympathizing with or appeasing or contextualizing the violence as we do in Seattle and Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Detroit.
	And the second thing is there was a group of liberals in those days and they were attacking what they called the new left.
	They said, we're not part of this.
	We're not part of it.

	General Flynn has been exonerated.

	He pled to a lie in order to save his son.
	General Flynn has his reputation back, but he doesn't have three years of his life back.
	Flynn got justice yesterday.
	Donald Trump talked about it yesterday.
	As the July 4th weekend approaches, and as we drown in anti-American rhetoric, it's a good time to reflect on why we should be so grateful to live in this wonderful country.
	That's what I do in this week's Prager University video, Why I Love America.
	See it at PragerU.com, where we teach what isn't taught.
	I'm Dennis Prager here, in case you didn't have enough troubles on your plate.
	I... I tell you...
	To be a parent today is a risky proposition.
	I mean, I'm emphatically pro being a parent.
	You take risks in life, but when I think of my parents, basically, if they gave you room and board, they assumed a basically stable person developed.
	But that is not the case now when I think of the people whose adult children don't talk to them because they don't vote right or they don't vote left, to be precise.
	And now this, you wake up one day and your teenage daughter says, I'm a boy.
	I have to admit that the social media thing is new to me because I'm not a teenage girl is one of the reasons.
	So I want to understand, are you saying that most of the teenage girls who begin to identify as boys, it is a result of bad self-image induced by social media?
	So social media, we know that it's linked to a rise in mental health problems in teenage girls most dramatically.
	It makes all of us feel bad, but especially teenage girls.
	And it's also filled with transgender influencers, young teens, who say the best thing that ever happened to me was when I started T or testosterone.
	All my social anxiety went away.
	It redistributed my fat.
	It got rid of my period.
	I feel great.
	And they can't wait to sell this to young teens, and teens are listening.
	Well, that's not the same thing as saying you're a boy.
	It says take this hormone.
	It will have masculinizing effects, but...
	That's not the same thing as transgender.
	Right.
	So they will start with saying, you know, if you Google, you know, am I trans?
	What they will give you is you will find a list of symptoms, so-called symptoms that are vague, that make virtually everyone sound like they might be trans.
	Have you ever been uncomfortable in your body?
	Do you ever feel imperfectly feminine?
	Do you not fit in with other girls?
	These are things that are so commonplace among adolescent girls that it's ridiculous, but the internet is very happy to furnish the answer.
	That you're probably trans.
	And this very much goes hand in glove with what's going on in our school systems, which push gender ideology very hard.
	Go ahead.
	Tell me about the schools.
	So the schools now in California, it's extremely pervasive, aggressive, and radical.
	From age kindergarten on, they have a gender identity curriculum.
	So it's sexual orientation, gender identity curriculum that parents are not allowed to opt out of.
	They think they are, but they package it not in the sex education curriculum, but in the anti-bullying curriculum.
	And they say for anti-bullying, we need all the kids to learn this.
	And teachers will actually present gender options to kids, and they will teach them.
	They will teach them the radical view that they were assigned a gender at birth by a doctor, but they might actually be a different gender, and they invite them to choose.
	And this goes on with more aggressive and thorough indoctrination from kindergarten through high school So this is reason for four three not to send your child to a school And in fact, if you decide, if you have an epiphany one day, because you want to get acceptance and you want to make friends, and your epiphany is, I'm not really a girl, I'm a boy, please call me Clive.
	The school, and this is true in California, it's also true in New York, New Jersey, and other places I've heard from parents, the school policy is to recognize you as a boy, let you use the boys' room, Put you with the boys on overnight trips and to keep that a secret from your parents.
	And that's what they do.
	Who's behind this?
	There are a lot of activists pushing this.
	I can only say I got very deep into the California public school system and one of the things I learned to my...
	Actual shock, believe it or not, was that there is no difference between activists and teachers.
	So the activists actually train teachers.
	They come into the teachers' unions.
	They provide all the materials.
	The materials for this curriculum are extremely radical.
	They're provided by activist groups.
	And they do the teacher training, and in some cases they actually come in and coach the GSA, the Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs, that are in all the schools.
	The Gay-Straight Alliance Club is supposed to just be a safe haven for gay kids.
	What it actually is, very often, is an opportunity to indoctrinate children in gender ideology.
	Is this disproportionately run by females?
	What?
	The Gay-Straight Alliance?
	No.
	The whole curriculum that you're describing.
	I'm not sure about that.
	I think there are a lot of different folks involved in this, but it is extremely radical.
	They encourage anal sex extremely hard.
	They encourage all sorts of experimentation along gender and sexual lines that is so beyond what would possibly be necessary in an anti-bullying curriculum.
	You really realize that there's something else they have in mind.
	And what is it that they have in mind?
	The end of gender distinction?
	Yes, and I think they want to free these children from their parents.
	I mean, one of the things that is in the California framework is they define something called spiritual abuse.
	Spiritual abuse is when a person uses their religious beliefs to make you follow their sex.
	Beliefs about sex and gender.
	What if you do that with your secular beliefs?
	That's fine.
	Right.
	So basically what they're telling children is, they're putting it in their minds, your parents are probably abusing you.
	This is so implicit in all of their anti-bullying curriculum, is that who are the bad guys?
	The bad guys are the parents.
	Is this happening in schools in Boise, Idaho?
	You know what?
	I don't know.
	I know it's in the toniest schools throughout the country.
	The private schools love this stuff.
	I hear from very often girls' schools.
	This is spreading through girls' schools like, you know, wildfire.
	I will get calls from the most elite, parents of the most elite private schools in New York, who will tell me that 15 or 20 or 30 percent of their daughter's 7th grade class now identifies as transgender.
	What percentage?
	About 15 or 20 or 30 percent of the class.
	In these private schools?
	In these private schools, yeah.
	I thought I knew a fair amount about this, but this is revelatory.
	And the problem, of course, is what they then do with this.
	So in other words, if they wanted to go around saying they were a boy, that sounds harmless enough.
	But very soon, they are pushed to the next step.
	I mean, if you say you're a boy, people effectively say, okay, prove it.
	So now comes hormones and surgeries, and they change the body in ways that cannot be changed back.
	Without parental permission?
	In some cases, without parental permission, or even a therapist's note.
	And doctors will do this?
	Doctors will do this, yes.
	16-year-olds get their breasts removed on their own.
	I know.
	I know I've reported that.

	Are we witnessing simply 1968 redux?
	Or is this a far more cynical shell game whereby the left, the institutional left, says we have no way to win the election on policy platforms, so we're going to use violence on the streets, and that's going to be a feint or a dodge.
	Are these people sincere, Professor, or is this a political play?
	Well, it's being aided and abetted by the DNC, and they see it as useful.
	As a lot of would-be architects of revolution do, they think it's useful to cause chaos or to pressure the blue states not to participate in the recovery or whatever their agenda for the November election.
	And in that sense, it's a little different.
	What I see as different from 68 is we didn't have mayors and governors actively resisting help from the federal government and either sympathizing with Or appeasing or contextualizing the violence as we do in Seattle and Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Detroit.
	And the second thing is there was a group of liberals in those days and they were attacking what they called the new left.
	They said, we're not part of this.
	We're not part of it.
	And we don't have that.
	That is gone.
	The left has been fused into the party of AOC, the squad, the street.

	Then they sabotaged the first two and a half years of the Trump administration.

	The transgender craze seducing our daughter is Abigail Schreier.
	She's a journalist, so she writes in an inherently interesting manner and gives all sorts of data.
	So, what is the percentage today?
	That the CDC says is transgender.
	Well we know that two percent of high school students are now identifying as transgender.
	This is a massive increase and historically it afflicted 0.01 percent of the population.
	0.01 percent.
	One-tenth of one percent.
	Isn't that 100?
	Oh, one hundredth of one percent.
	One hundred, yeah.
	I was afraid to say such a small number.
	It's now gone, so it has skyrocketed.
	Skyrocketed, that's right.
	Or is it a thousand times more common?
	I mean, is that what it means?
	I think a little more than that, because...
	I don't know, but even if it's a thousand, it's a lot.
	I'm just...
	The whole thing is mind-blowing, and I asked you at the end...
	So a girl 15 says, I'm a boy.
	I want to get rid of my breasts.
	There is a surgeon who will remove her breasts?
	Sure.
	So the age of medical consent varies by state.
	In Oregon, it's 15. So I've talked to, you know, surgeons who remove girls' breasts at age 16. You've talked to them?
	Yeah, they're in the book.
	Wait, you've talked to them?
	Yeah, I've interviewed them, the surgeons who perform these surgeries.
	Did they know how you felt about this?
	Well, I mean, the book's an exploration, so in part I wanted to learn...
	No, no, I have no problem with you talking to them.
	I'm glad you did.
	I just want to know why they would talk to you.
	Because I came to them as someone who wanted to find out.
	I mean, look, I thought...
	That sounds monstrous to me, but I wanted to know, maybe I'm missing something here.
	Are you missing something, or is it monstrous?
	I think...
	I think I came away not as upset with them as I had thought, and I'll tell you why.
	Because they really have been, this is pushed so hard by the culture, and there have been so many lies around it, that of all the people, you know, doctors, do I think that a doctor should destroy the biological capacity of anybody?
	No.
	That's not their Hippocratic oath, right?
	Especially based on vague self-diagnosis, which is what these girls are supplying.
	When they described for me their willingness to do it and how happy the girls were and excited they were, I realized that we've allowed these lies to continue, and that is that these girls are being saved by it, that they are saved from suicide.
	That's what the doctor believes.
	Right.
	I've saved her, now him.
	That's what a lot of doctors I've talked to believe.
	Yes, that they think they're saving.
	Now, is that correct?
	No, as I point out in the book.
	That's way over-said.
	So the breasts are removed.
	What else is done to them?
	All kinds of things.
	Well, the thing to know is that men and women are morphologically and very different biologically.
	So the surgeries never end, essentially.
	Because you never really look like a man, no matter what you do.
	So there's phalloplasty.
	Now, phalloplasty is not as common for these girls, thank goodness, because it's extremely risky surgery.
	But what they do is they de-sleeve the forearm and try to create something that looks like what they call a neophallus.
	It's supposed to look like a penis.
	But to get it to function often requires several other surgeries, some of which don't go the way they're supposed to.
	And I talk to people who had botched phalloplasties as well in the book.
	There is a writer who I've had on this show who amazingly still writes for USA Today.
	I'm sure you would know his name if I remembered it.
	And he speaks about an organization of people who regret having done this.
	I want to talk to you about that when we come back.

	Alright, anyway, everybody heard it.
	Let me go to calls here.
	And Anonymous in Los Angeles, thank you for calling.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	First of all, thank you so much for writing this book.
	I've been dealing with this for three and a half years with my daughter.
	She's now 19, and it's been extremely—I mean, it rips my heart out, this whole experience.
	What I believe is, first of all, she's on the autism spectrum, more Asperger's, and she has a younger brother who is very impacted by autism.
	So when she came to us and said, last year I've been keeping it a secret that I'm transgender and I'm coming out, just right away my gut instinct said something's wrong because this is a girl who never exhibited anything to indicate other than being very feminine.
	And I was concerned about her Mental health, because she had fallen into depression between 9th and 10th grade and was cutting.
	And it was in the middle of the 11th grade that she came out and told us this.
	And so, from the beginning, she was okay with being referred to as she and her natal name at home because of her brother, but at school was going by he in a more masculine form of her name.
	And she goes through private school.
	She's more Caucasian.
	I just, at that time, there wasn't the awareness, and so I'm just so grateful that the awareness is coming out about this.
	What we have done is use money to prevent her from doing anything permanent to her body by saying, you know, we just need you.
	I mean, first of all, I came to her two months later after doing a ton of research, and I came upon Walt Heyer's work, and I read books.
	And I printed out a bunch of research and I showed it to her and I said, I just want you to read this and think about it.
	She was very angry with me and I just tried to approach this whole...
	Are you married?
	Yes.
	Is her father supportive of you?
	He's supportive of me.
	We are different political viewpoints.
	He worked in Hollywood, but he trusts me, and he loved her, and he was also very concerned about her.
	But I had to do, in the early days, a lot of education of him in how I was thinking and what I was concerned about.
	All right, so in a nutshell, because I would love to talk to you, obviously, the whole time, but where is she right now in this issue?
	She still says she's a boy.
	She knows that I want her to mature, her brain to mature, which to me is until 25, and that she is not allowed to do anything permanent.
	I'm curious.
	She's 19. Because if she does, we will not fund her life.
	Right.
	I got you, and I support you.
	I'm curious.
	She's 19. 19-year-olds want a social life.
	Does she date boys or girls?
	She's always liked boys.
	She's been rejected by some boys.
	She's a virgin, as far as I know, and she's not sexual with anybody.
	Also, with her autism, she doesn't really like touching.
	But she says she's bi, even though I'm not...
	Well, God bless you for calling, and I hope things go well.
	A lot of the girls are high-functioning autistic.
	Is that right?
	Oh, that's very interesting.
	Because they tend to fixate.

	Hi, Dennis Prager and Abigail Schreier.
	Hi, thank you so much for taking my call.
	I appreciate it.
	Thank you.
	I just wanted to share my experience with my sister.
	She is 22 years old.
	In high school, never showed any signs of gender dysphoria or any discomfort there.
	However, she was depressed, she was into self-harm, and I think a lot of what led her to where she is now is that she didn't have a father figure in her life, never met her biological father, so I think that left a hole in her life that she's trying to fill with being accepted in other ways.
	And she went off to a liberal arts college and she just graduated and no longer identifies as female.
	Last I heard, she's identifying as gender neutral, but she has threatened to call the police on my mom for abuse just by using the wrong pronoun.
	If my mom refers to her as her daughter, she gets upset and hangs up on her.
	She's also living with...
	Someone who, they were roommates the first year.
	The girl was named Emily.
	Now she goes by Blake and identifies as male.
	But I really think that four years at a liberal arts college really did a number on her.
	She was vulnerable and a little fragile at first, and now they just got a hold of her and wreaked havoc on her.
	And I totally agree with what Abigail was saying about how...
	About how they're looking for acceptance and identifying as a victim, the only one they can really choose.
	I mean, she can't change her skin color, she can't change her nationality or whatever, but she can choose to be gender neutral or transgender.
	Alright, wow.
	I could cry, I tell you.
	The havoc in people's lives that the confused have wrought.
	The book is up at DennisPrager.com Irreversible Damage I saw the first video that went viral,
	but I didn't know until I watched Garen Thumb's video that That wasn't the only thing you did that day, and that was the second weapon that you retrieved from rioters who had broken into a patrol car.
	So tell us everything that happened prior to that, and then the second incident.
	Alright, so we're on the corner of the street watching, and I'm holding security for my team, and I see these police vehicles that are being destroyed, and the first thing I thought when I saw them was, hey, you know, there's probably...
	AR-15 patrol rifles in there, which there should, you know, there honestly should be.
	The police do need them.
	They have more than enough cars to have them.
	So I told myself I need to keep an eye on this situation because this could turn bad very fast.
	So it did, you know.
	Gun comes out of the front windshield, or front windshield, front passenger side, and I yelled gun and put my team immediately in a safe position and told them not to move.
	That guy fired several rounds into those vehicles.
	Then went into a doorway and took cover.
	At that time, when he was firing, I was already moving on him, drawing my weapon and coming up at him.
	But you had a handgun.
	All you had was a handgun, and in the first incident that most people haven't seen, the person, the rider who took the weapon, was actually firing rounds off from that rifle, from that carbine, correct?
	Yep, absolutely.
	And who were they firing at?
	Was anybody hurt?
	No, the second that rifle came out, someone was yelling, clear the block, and everyone kind of saw that this guy had a rifle, and he fired into the vehicle.
	But when he fired into the vehicle, everyone had split and went different ways down the street, so there was no one there.

	Larry Elder, who are some of the figures that appear in this film?
	I mentioned a couple of them a moment ago.
	You mentioned Carol Swain.
	She was a law professor at Vanderbilt in Tennessee.
	Got all sorts of grief because she, among other things, opposed race-based preferences, argued that they actually hurt black people because you're putting them on a track much faster than they can handle.
	They would have been perfectly fine at a lesser competitive school, but because we decided that there ought to be some sort of racial mixture at a given school, whether the kid can do the work or not.
	We've also got Herman Cain in there.
	Herman Cain was, of course, maligned as an Uncle Tom in a sellout when he ran because, by definition, any black person who's a Republican is an Uncle Tom in a sellout.
	Never mind the skanky history of the Democratic Party, which, by the way, we go over in the film, I think, pretty thoroughly.
	The Democratic Party, of course, is a party of slavery.

	The transgender craze seducing our daughters.
	What's happening with the book on Amazon?
	So Amazon refused my publisher the opportunity to sponsor an ad for the book.
	Retailers are allowed to sponsor ads.
	So on Amazon, if you do a search for my book, if you type in, say, transgender book or transgender craze or something, it will suggest a number of products.
	But we were not allowed to sponsor an ad.
	And what they do allow, however, is sponsoring.
	They do allow sponsored ads for all kinds of books that encourage girls to medical transition.
	They just won't.
	Sponsor an ad for a book that's skeptical that this is a very good idea for young girls.
	And did you say something to me about reviews?
	Oh, right now they don't seem to be allowing reviews right now.
	And my publisher is working to figure out why they have blocked reviews for my book.
	But hopefully that will be fixed.
	I don't know.
	Goodreads specifically allowed all kinds of readers to write.
	To accuse me of transphobia before the book had even been out.
	So I'm flooded with that on Goodreads.
	Transphobia.

	Hi, I have a question for the author.
	I do know a girl who's 14 going down the transgender path.
	I would like to buy your book and get her mother to read it.
	How do you recommend a way that someone can approach the parent, a parent who seems to be supporting the transgender path, without just, you know, alienating that parent and pushing them away?
	Oh, what a good point.
	I forgot about that.
	The parents who are supportive.
	Yeah, I mean, I would just say that my book is a very, I believe, very objective.
	I tried really hard.
	I interviewed everyone for this book, from transgender adults who were lovely to all sorts of activists and whatnot.
	And I would just say that it's an objective look at whether these girls are on a good path.
	And it's worth hearing all sides on this issue.
	Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't want you to hear it, but I think it's worth it for any parent to hear all sides of the issue.
	Okay.

	Public health officials across America have spent the last several months warning about the dangers of the coronavirus and the need for us to stay at home, halt economic activity, and avoid social interactions with our friends and neighbors.
	We are now reopening our economy in many parts of the country, but these same public health officials have compromised their own credibility as we do so.
	On the one hand, they've urged caution and a slow return to work, school, and faith gatherings.
	They've criticized those who oppose the stay-at-home orders.
	But at the same time, these officials have been broadly supportive of the large protests on America's streets in the last few weeks.
	Public health officials should be helping us understand the comparative risks of activities, not endorsing the causes they like while prohibiting the ones they don't.
	Their hypocrisy is costly indeed.
	They have impacted our ability to address future health crises.

	According to court papers that were filed yesterday, Joe Biden appears to have personally raised the idea of investigating Michael Flynn for potentially violating the obscure, never-used Logan Act when he talked to the Russian ambassador.
	At the time.
	These were previously sealed documents.
	If the media was worth a damn, pardon my language, I'm in a bad mood today.
	If they were worth a damn, there'd be a big front page story that reveals facts.
	Oh, like this one.
	The then FBI director, James Comey, acknowledged during a meeting that involved Sally Yates, possibly Susan Rice, that General Flynn's conversation with Sergey Kislyak, his conversations, quote, appear legit, according to the federal court filing out of Washington, D.C., that were just revealed.
	This was revealed in handwritten notes that were prepared by this disgraced ex-FBI agent, Peter Strzok.
	Flynn's lawyers are referring to this as stunning and exculpatory evidence.
	But of course now the government has dropped the case, dropped the charges.
	But listen to this.
	This is where it matters.
	A partially blacked out copy of Peter Strzok's notes is attached to the filing and includes a mention that appears to say, this is scrawled, this is like chicken scratch, but it appears to say VP colon Logan Act.

	And I've interviewed BBC before, and the same thing happened.
	After a few things about the movie, I was then asked what I think about race and racism in America.
	And I said that it is no longer a major factor.
	Well, what about the Confederate generals after whom military bases have been named?
	Surely you protest that.
	I said, I'm indifferent.

	It's the third hour every Tuesday.
	And if there was ever a time since I began broadcasting the Ultimate Issues Hour on Tuesdays that it should make it clear to you how important having clarity about Ultimate Issues is, it is right now.
	What is freedom?
	What is America about?
	Is race important?
	Do you understand?
	Everything now is in fact about an ultimate issue.
	Do you combat crime with compassion workers or do you combat crime primarily with police?
	Everything happening now and all the bad that is happening is because people are not clear about the ultimate issues ever.
	I just thought I would throw that in the mix.
	We're going to be talking about Black America in a moment and what is happening there.
	It is related to something that just happened last hour on my show.
	I asked the woman who wrote about the transgender craze seducing our daughters.
	The book that she wrote is Irreversible Damage.
	And she said something that shook up both my producer and myself.
	This is primarily happening among young white girls or young white women.
	Her theory is that a major reason for that is that the highest status today is that of a victim.
	This is another sick thing that the left has done to ruin people's lives.
	And that made so much sense to me.
	Think about it.
	How is it possible for a young white woman to feel that she is a victim?
	There's only one arena open to say that she is transgender, that she is a man.
	And since that's what brings you attention, brings you love, brings you support, and brings you admiration even, That is a very seductive thing.
	One of the questions that I have is, why are so many blacks who have done so well, so angry?
	I don't know the answer to it.
	I'm going to try to work out that answer with Larry Elder this hour.
	As soon as he arrives, we'll pursue that.
	But it is a question to me, when I read these black, very successful black writers, why are they so disturbed?
	Why are they so angry?
	Life has treated them better than it has the vast majority of whites.
	So, it's a puzzle to me.
	Larry Elder doesn't need an introduction to any of you.
	He's a national talk show host.
	That's the theme that he comes on with.
	I personally composed it, and Larry's very grateful.
	Larry also has a film out, which is a documentary, which is really powerful, Uncle Tom.
	And it features...
	Black voices, basically, that you don't read in the New York Times, ever.
	The New York Times says, when I think about the brains that have not appeared in the New York Times once, like Tom Soule.
	I mean, Tom Soule's one of the most brilliant people of my lifetime.
	Never appeared in the New York Times.
	Walter Williams, brilliant economist.
	Never appeared in the New York Times, to best of my knowledge.
	Larry Elder never appeared in the New York Times.
	I mean, all of the black writers at the Wall Street Journal, they would appear there.
	Larry, I got a question.
	Yes, sir.
	And this, sometimes, as you know, when you ask questions, you have worked out an answer for yourself.
	But you're curious about what the guest will say.
	I have not worked out an answer for myself on this question, which is something because I've thought about this for decades.
	Why is Charles Blow, New York Times, well-paid, in a position that anyone of any color would die for?
	New York Times columnist, MSNBC regular contributor.
	He's just angry.
	Where is the successful middle-class, upper-middle-class black anger coming from?
	Years ago, there was a cover story in Newsweek called The Rage of the Black Middle Class by a guy named Ellis Coase.
	Oh, yes, that's right.
	And he explored the same issue.
	And the thrust of it appeared to be that here I am acting as if I'm not black.
	It appeared to be that because I don't feel that way at all.
	I don't understand and never have understood this kind of anger.
	From the time I was a kid, I never understood it, Dennis.
	I'm in a class in middle school with a bunch of black kids.
	Maybe the school is 95% black, 5% Asian, one or two white kids.
	And this anger.
	And we had the same classes, same teachers, same instruction, same neighborhood, same recreational facilities, but a lot of my peers were just pissed.
	And I think it's because they felt that they should be pissed.
	Because of historical injustices, things that have happened to their fathers, their parents.
	You know, we're just one generation from Jim Crow.
	My dad grew up in Athens, Georgia, and he told me a lot of stories.
	They didn't happen to me.
	They happened to him.
	But a lot of kids felt that they needed to have some sort of...
	It was morally appropriate, socially just for them to be angry for people in the past who couldn't stand up and be angry themselves.
	I guess.
	All I know, Dennis, is I've never felt that way.
	My father always taught my brothers and me to work hard, and whenever we complained, he would say, are you kidding?
	When I was your age, so-and-so, and he would tell us something.
	And you'd be appalled at the conditions that he suffered, and it would make you realize that you should stop whining and pick up the cards and play them.
	So it's attitudinal.
	And Dennis, in the film, you notice almost all of the people in the film are positive people, happy people, upbeat people.
	Well, that's my riddle.
	Why do you call a happy black?
	A Republican.
	Right.
	And so the whole thing is more attitudinal than it is even political.
	To not perceive yourself as a victim.
	To not perceive yourself as aggrieved.
	To not look for the worst possible explanation for a phenomenon.
	Cop pulls me over.
	He pulled me over because I was black.
	My goodness, I was on a ride along with a buddy of mine who's white, of Italian extraction, Derek.
	And it's at night.
	And we're following this car, and the car pulls over to a gas station.
	Two black guys come out.
	They see Derek, and they start saying, you racially profiled him.
	Now they look at me, and they ignored me, even though I'm black.
	It didn't fit the script, so they just pretended I wasn't standing there.
	But it was just, and did it with passion, and if they were actors, they're good.
	And they got out of the car, and they were just convinced that Derek had pulled them over because they were black.
	Even though Derek didn't even know what race they were, it was at night.
	I always ask that question.
	If you're behind the driver, which is what most police are, I didn't even know during the day how you know what color they are.
	And Dennis, you and I have talked about this before.
	I have a lot of people who don't agree with me who are detractors and so forth.
	Why aren't you pulling for me to be right?
	Wouldn't it be better if Larry were right?
	Wouldn't it be better if Larry's vision of the world were right?
	That's what I thought about the guy with Bubba Wallace.
	Yeah.
	Why wasn't his reaction, wow, thank God, isn't that great?
	I overreacted.
	In fact, it wasn't him who saw it, it was his crewmate, who was black, who saw it and assumed, therefore, it was this, this, and this.
	Isn't this good news?
	No, instead, he wanted it to be true.
	And he was angry that people were trying to disprove it.
	That's right.
	I'll be back with Larry Elder.
	I blame Alan Esperen.
	That's what I do.
	It's like blaming Canada, though.
	It's wrong.
	That doesn't work.
	No, it doesn't work.
	Blame Alan.
	Blame Alan.
	That's why he's the living martyr.
	We do blame him.
	That's exactly it.
	Larry Elder's film is...
	Uncle Tom.

	you I've been doing a lot of publicity for the movie Uncle Tom.
	And I had an interview with the BBC Radio.
	And I've interviewed BBC before, and the same thing happened.
	After a few things about the movie, I was then asked what I think about race.
	As the July 4th weekend approaches, and as we drown in anti-American rhetoric, it's a good time to reflect on why we should be so grateful to live in this wonderful country.
	That's what I do in this week's Prager University video, Why I Love America.
	See it at PragerU.com, where we teach what isn't taught.
	Ultimate Issues Hour is the third hour every Tuesday, analyzing victimhood generally and specifically the black situation right now with one of the most thoughtful people I have known for decades, Larry Elder.
	you So I asked you why this anger of all these successful blacks.
	So, I have to conclude that to a certain extent, it's as big a puzzle to you as to me.
	I don't know if I can be with it, but I think I understand it.
	And I think the reason is because people who don't know any better get to a certain level, and if they don't get to another level, they're ticked off and they feel that the reason they didn't get there has to do with outside forces.
	Wait, Charles Blow thinks he should be at a higher level?
	What should he be, the editor of the New York Times?
	Well, I'm talking about corporate America.
	Corporate America is a pyramid.
	There's one person at the top.
	There's one senior VP. Right, but I'm talking about the media people that I keep reading, all these black writers who loathe this country.
	That's different.
	These are people that have come out of colleges where they've been taught that America has become prosperous over the backs of people who've been exploited.
	And they bought into this so-called, what I call, victocrat mentality.
	And that's what you're taught when you're in...
	That's what sociology professors teach you.
	That's what the history professors teach you.
	They're all left-wing.
	The average history department, 30 or 40 professors, might have one who's registered as a Republican, if that.
	The rest of them are either left-wing or so-called independents, which is another word for left-wing.
	And so a lot of these students that have gone through education courses and history courses and civics courses are taught this point of view.
	It's the Howard Zinn kind of philosophy of how America got wealthy.
	On the backs of Native Americans, on the backs of Blacks, on the backs of Hispanics.
	And that America is an imperialistic nation and we aren't really any morally superior than any other nation.
	That's this mentality that a lot of people have.
	That's right.
	So now let's talk about the victocrat issue.
	Your answer, you never felt this way, resonates with me.
	And it's both...
	It's both pessimistic and optimistic.
	The pessimistic thing that I've drawn from all of this is people have natures.
	You and I, we relate to walking around feeling that we're a victim as if somebody said, can you identify with being a rhinoceros?
	I really can't.
	So is it...
	It doesn't give us much room for hope if the majority of people like feeling that they're a victim.
	There's not much hope.
	The other day when I was promoting Uncle Tom, I told a story which I didn't think was particularly interesting or profound, but everybody else did.
	And since then I've been reflecting on this story more, and I guess it does say something.
	I remember being in middle school, Dennis, and the history teacher gave us an assignment.
	You're new in America.
	You just arrived in this new country.
	Write a letter back to your relatives you left in your old country about what the new country's like.
	So I'm in the front of the class, and I'm writing, well, we just bought a farm.
	The mule died.
	I can't believe the mule died.
	But the neighbor brought his mule.
	That's what I wrote.
	And there's a guy in the back named Levi.
	Levi was a class cut-up, but he was very funny and charismatic and handsome, and he was a nemesis of mine.
	In retrospect, I annoyed him because I was so good in school, and he wasn't.
	And he was jealous.
	But at the time, I didn't see that.
	And he was always needling me in front of other people.
	And he said, watch Elder write like he's a white man.
	Dennis, I had.
	I wrote like I was a free man.
	It never occurred to me to write as if I was a slave.
	Everybody else in the class wrote as if they were slaves.
	Everyone else did.
	Well, I just got whipped.
	I just ran away.
	Everybody did.
	It never occurred to me, Dennis, to write like that.
	Now, I'm not...
	I'm ashamed of it.
	I'm not thrilled of it.
	I'm just telling you how I felt.
	And I was halfway through the essay, and as Levi said that, I went, it never occurred to me to write as if Larry Elder were a slave.
	I didn't think of myself that way.
	I always thought of myself as Larry Elder.
	It wasn't that I was oblivious to slavery for crying out loud.
	I was aware of it.
	I know how horrible it was.
	But I always thought of myself as free.
	And that I was going to be whatever I could be.
	And so it never occurred to me to put myself in the mind of somebody who had been smuggled or sold into slavery over the earth.
	And besides, they couldn't write anyway, right?
	Who were they going to write to?
	So it never occurred to me to write as if I were a slave.
	But everybody else did.
	What a great story.
	Now I totally get it why it meant something.
	But you're reconfirming to me that there's a big part of the answer is nature.
	That is your nature, Larry.
	That is my nature.
	I think of myself as Dennis.
	And I walk around thinking how lucky I am.
	On the rare, if ever, moment I felt a victim, I hated it.
	And you would too.
	So, I wonder if there's therapy.
	I'm not joking.
	Is there therapy for victimhood?
	One of my closest friends is Artie.
	I don't think you've ever met him.
	He operates an auto repair place in Chicago.
	And I met him when I was in law school.
	He was in engineering school.
	We've always been very good friends.
	And one time he said to me, shortly after we became friends, why are you so hard on black people?
	You're always pointing out this and this.
	Why are you so hard on black people?
	I said, Artie, if 70% of Jewish kids are raised without fathers, If there was a 50% dropout rate in Jewish neighborhoods, as there is in the black neighborhoods, and the ones who do graduate cannot read writing acute at great level, and if 25% of young Jewish boys living in the inner city had criminal records, either in jail, on parole, on probation, or having been arrested, and they were blaming this on the Holocaust, the Jewish leaders were blaming this on the Holocaust, how would you feel?
	That is so profound an answer.
	And he said, I withdraw the question.
	And he never brought it up again.
	Jesse Jackson running around, Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, blaming this on the white man.
	By the way, you know what my critique, because we play similar roles in our groups as it were, my critique by fellow Jews is, why don't you preach what you practice?
	They live utterly conservative lives.
	None of them are okay with getting pregnant before you get married.
	Right?
	Or not having a job.
	So why is it okay for blacks?
	Isn't that...
	It's condescending.
	It's totally condescending.
	It's what George W. Bush called the soft bigotry of low expectations.
	Yes.
	He didn't write that line, but it's a great line.
	Yes.

	Or is this a far more cynical shell game whereby the left, the institutional left, says we have no way to win the election on policy platforms, so we're going to use violence on the streets, and that's going to be a feint or a dodge.
	Are these people sincere, Professor, or is this a political play?
	Well, it's being aided and abetted by the DNC, and they see it as useful.
	As a lot of would-be architects of revolution do, they think it's useful to cause chaos or to pressure the blue states not to participate in the recovery or whatever their agenda for the November election.
	And in that sense, it's a little different.
	What I see as different from 68 is we didn't have mayors and governors actively resisting help from the federal government and either sympathizing with Or appeasing or contextualizing the violence as we do in Seattle and Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Detroit.
	And the second thing is there was a group of liberals in those days and they were attacking what they called the new left.
	They said, we're not part of this.
	We're not part of it.

	And his terrific new film, which I was just telling him off the air.
	I'm thrilled for America, let alone for him and for Salem, that it is doing so well.
	It needs to do well.
	Every American should see this.
	I mean, you should sort of pay...
	Your liberal brother-in-law to see it.
	So you know what?
	I'll take you out to steak dinner if you watch this thing.
	Because they...
	Larry, I always say this.
	We hear them, watch them, study under them.
	They don't hear us, watch us, or study under us.
	So all of this would be revelatory.
	Is that fair to say?
	It is.
	I was watching and...
	We were watching an interview that I had done with Thomas Sowell, one of my favorite guests.
	And he was talking about the fact that the minimum wage has been studied, documented, probably more than almost anything that you could think of to be studied in the field of economics.
	And the overwhelming consensus is that the minimum wage destroys jobs.
	And so I said to Thomas Sowell, why is it you are not winning the argument then?
	And he said, and he rarely says this, that's an excellent question, which is a tool that I think people use when they want to buy time to figure out what to say.
	And so it's one of those rare times when he's ever said anything like that, which amused me.
	Because it was clear he hadn't thought of it or hadn't thought of it that way.
	And he said, after pausing for a second, one of the problems is we're assuming that people are aware of these things.
	They don't even know about the studies.
	They don't even know that minimum wage increases.
	That's correct.
	They've never heard this before.
	That's right.
	And we're assuming this.
	And Dennis, that's one of the reasons I did Uncle Tom.
	Because I would be in discussions with my left-wing friends, and I would say things like, well, you know, of course, the Republicans voted in a greater percentage of the Civil Rights Act of 64 than Democrats did.
	And they're stunned.
	That's right.
	What?
	Roughly 80% of Republicans in the House and the Senate voted for the Civil Rights Act, as opposed to 60% or so of the Democrats.
	So it's a percentage, blah, blah, blah.
	Stunned.
	Stunned that Howard Baker was the first Republican since Reconstruction to be Senator of Tennessee, and he was in favor of integration.
	Stunned that Robert Byrd, born a Democrat, died a Democrat.
	Stunned.
	Keith Ellison...
	The former congressman, who's now the AG of Minnesota, said on a CNN program, they were having a discussion with Tom Cole, one of the panelists, and Keith Ellison said, Donald Trump is the worst Republican candidate since George Wallace.
	And Stepanopoulos was there, didn't say anything.
	The other panelists didn't say anything.
	Finally, Tom Cole said, well, before I respond, I want to correct my good friend Keith Ellison over here.
	George Wallace was a proud Democrat.
	Nobody said anything until he corrected him.
	So this guy assumed that.
	It went out on the airways.
	And even when it was corrected, I'll bet there was crickets.
	And had Cole not been there, it's out there unchallenged.
	So they don't even know about the Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment.
	Unaware of it.
	So how do you answer their charge?
	Oh, it's just a switch.
	The Republicans adopted their Southern strategy.
	What is your answer to that?
	We address that in the film a little bit, too.
	First of all, you have to look at...
	All of the Democrat senators who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 64, because that's supposedly the straw that broke the camel's back.
	Supposedly the passage of that is what snapped all these racist Democrats and made them leave the Democratic Party and join the Republican Party.
	So look at all the Democrats who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 64 in the Senate, and all the Democrats, rather, who voted against it in the Senate, all the Democrats who voted against it in the House.
	How many of them switched to the Republican Party?
	The answer is one in the Senate.
	Strom Thurmond, and one in the House whose name I can't even remember.
	That's it.
	And think about it.
	You're a racist white Democrat, and you're ticked off because the country has now passed the Civil Rights Act.
	So you're going to leave the Democratic Party and go to the party whose members voted for the act at a higher percentage than the party you left?
	What?
	Sense does that make?
	Right.
	Okay.
	And the South became more Republican gradually.
	It didn't become really Republican until the 90s.
	30 years after the Civil Rights Act had passed.
	Then suddenly, they switched.
	It became more Republican for the same reason most people become more Republican.
	Exactly.
	It became more crazy.
	It became more anti-religion.
	It became more pro-abortion.
	I'll just let you know.
	It became more pro-union.
	It became more pro-high taxes.
	It became more anti-military.
	Carol Swain made a video for us on this issue.
	A black former professor at Princeton.
	Terrific woman.
	It's probably the most attacked video of our 400 plus videos.
	She's in the film, too.
	I know.
	I know.
	You guys are great.
	The film is available at...
	UncleTom.com Also, if you want to be the first in your hood to get some Uncle Tom merch, that's available as well.
	Is that true?
	That's right.
	I got an Uncle Tom t-shirt underneath my shirt.
	Oh, God.
	Larry, you cracked me up.

	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Now, there is a story this morning that one of the best guys in the Senate on the other side, Chris Coons, is talking about doing away with the legislative filibuster.
	I personally do not believe that they will hesitate for a minute if they win the Senate, which is why we've got to reelect Cory Gardner and Tom Tillis and Martha McSally and David Perdue and Joni Ernst and there are a couple others who they're targeting.
	But do you think they will do away with the legislative filibuster, Senator Scott, and what do you think will be the consequences of that?
	Chris Coons led the effort to keep it when Trump got elected, right?
	And now he's leading the effort to get rid of it if Biden gets elected.
	I mean, how disingenuous that somebody would do that.
	Take this position, if this person's the president, this position, this president.
	However, I've been there 18 months.
	It's really consistent.
	The Democrats do it every day.
	So, yeah, do I believe they'll get rid of it?
	Yeah, they'll do that.
	They'll try to stack the Supreme Court.
	You know, they'll do everything they can to make sure they have power forever.
	That's all they care.
	They don't care about you.
	They don't care about making your life better.
	They care about their power.
	That's what they care about every day.
	The Democrats, all they care about is power.
	Senator, you just said they'll stack the Supreme Court.
	You don't really believe, do you, that they will move to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court?
	They will do everything that they think they can get away with.
	If you think about this, think about what you just said about Chris Coon, a guy that led the effort to make sure we didn't get rid of the filibuster when Trump got elected, but is now going to lead the effort to get rid of the filibuster if Biden gets elected?
	So what else will they do?
	Senator Rick Scott, that'll make some news, and I appreciate it always when you make news on the UUHL. Thank you.

	Public health officials across America have spent the last several months warning about the dangers of the coronavirus and the need for us to stay at home, halt economic activity, and avoid social interactions with our friends and neighbors.
	We are now reopening our economy in many parts of the country.
	But these same public health officials have compromised their own credibility as we do so.
	On the one hand, they've urged caution in a slow return to work, school, and faith gatherings.
	They've criticized those who oppose the stay-at-home orders.
	But at the same time, these officials have been broadly supportive of the large protests on America's streets in the last few weeks.
	Public health officials should be helping us understand the comparative risks of activities, not endorsing the causes they like while prohibiting the ones they don't.
	Their hypocrisy is costly indeed.
	They have impacted our ability to address future health crises.

	Alright, I'm going to take your calls, Ultimate Issues Hour with Larry Elder as my guest.
	UncleTom.com.
	It rhymes.
	That's why he did it, by the way.
	He asked me how we discussed the possible name.
	I have more soul than I could control.
	There you go.
	You see that?
	He thinks in rhymes.
	That's right.
	He wrote the original rap melody, in fact.
	It's not well known.
	That was one of the original Sugar Heel Gang.
	Weren't they called that?
	Sugar Heel Gang?
	The one they did the...
	Yes, according to Sean, yes.
	By the way, Sean is black.
	I don't know why you're laughing.
	That is so wrong.
	Larry King told me, honestly, that his kids want to be black.
	And that's the other thing about all of this stuff.
	Kids like black music, black culture, whatever that is.
	You know my son David.
	I asked David when he was 80. I said, what do you want to be when you grow up?
	He said, black.
	That's exactly right.
	The only pictures in his room were black guys because they had the Lakers.
	He was a big Laker fan.
	And you know that Tess has been...
	Shown for decades that black people have higher self-esteem than white people.
	Yeah.
	And much higher self-esteem than Asians.
	I'll tell you, if that's true, it's a little confusing.
	I am a victim with high self-esteem.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Let me take your calls, ladies and gentlemen.
	Chicago, Patrick, thank you for calling.
	Hey, I just got something that's kind of stuck in my craw about what Mr. Elder said when he first came on about how can a police officer know that a person is black before they pull him over.
	And I got three ways a police officer can know a person.
	person's culture before pulling them over.
	And the first one is that if they're patrolling the black community, there's a 99% chance that the person they're pulling over is black.
	And my second one is that black people, they fix their cars up different than white people.
	So when you go out into a white suburb, there's police officers that can say there's an 80% chance that that person is black.
	Can you give me an example?
	The first one made sense to me.
	So tell me.
	A person, most young black people, they put aftermarket accessories on their car.
	So they may have rims that are 20 inches, 22 inches, and they're chrome and they shine.
	They may have...
	Okay, all right, I got it.
	What's the third way a policeman could know the color of the driver?
	Well, simply, this happened to me, and I'm 50 years old.
	I went out to the suburbs to visit my friend, and he has a white girlfriend.
	And it was late.
	And I was leaving to go, driving down the street, dark street, to the highway, and a police officer got behind me, just very close, lights were in my rearview mirror, and he stayed on me all the way until I got right up to the expressway, and he pulled me over and said, what are you doing around here?
	Okay, alright, alright.
	I got you.
	All right, I got you.
	And only because of time, I want Larry to respond.
	Are you still on?
	Yeah, but I put him on hold.
	Okay.
	I wanted to know what his conclusion was.
	So therefore, what?
	You assume that all officers pull over?
	My conclusion is, Mr. Elder, how can you not know this?
	How can I not know what?
	The police are more likely to pull blacks over.
	Because they can identify the black people's cars by their accessory and therefore they have an idea that it's a black person and that's why the person got pulled over?
	Okay.
	Well, it's not like these things have not been studied and studied and studied.
	And that's what gets me about these kinds of debates.
	In 2013, during the Obama administration, the National Institutes of Justice, which is the research arm of the DOJ, put out a study called Race and Traffic Stops.
	75% of black motorists admitted that when they were pulled over, they were pulled over for legitimate reasons.
	And it turned out, you name the offense, whether it's speeding, driving without a license, driving without a headlight, driving with an expired tag, you name the offense, a black motorist was more likely to commit it than other motorists.
	And therefore, the NIJ concluded that the disproportionate reasons that blacks were pulled over was due to, quote, legitimate factors, end of quote.
	Secondly, About not being able to tell whether that person is black or being able to tell whether the person is black.
	Let's take the allegation that was made against New Jersey state troopers years ago when Christy Todd Whitman was governor of New Jersey.
	People were accusing the troopers of disproportionately pulling over black motorists on the New Jersey turnpike.
	So she ordered a study.
	And it turned out...
	That, according to the researchers, the officers could not tell the race of the people who were in the cars because they were going so fast.
	Because in the daytime, the sun would reflect off the windows.
	At nighttime, forget about it.
	You couldn't tell anyway.
	And so the researchers concluded that there was no evidence whatsoever that there was a disproportionate pulling over of black voters because of racism.
	She didn't like the study.
	She threw it out.
	Asked for different people.
	Use different methodology.
	Same conclusion, different methodology.
	These officers were not pulling over people because they were black.
	It turns out the faster the car went, the more likely it was to be a black driver.
	I don't know why.
	I'm just telling you what the facts are.
	And that study, too, was thrown out.
	So she didn't like the results twice.
	And again, instead of this being good news, instead of being happy about this...
	Instead of maybe putting on some PSAs urging black motorists to slow down, the conclusion is, well, it must be there, we just couldn't find it.
	Honestly.
	I'll even go a step further, and I may be wrong.
	But in light of my understanding about how difficult life could be, and how otherwise this is a land of opportunity for anyone of any color, let's say it were true.
	There are cops who will stop black drivers sooner than other drivers.
	I really do believe that I would say, big deal.
	If that's all I suffer, essentially, in America, because I'm black or because I'm whatever, it's not right.
	But you know what?
	In the scheme of things, I'm very lucky to be here.
	Well, it's why people don't leave the country.
	Because however you feel unfairly treated, black people stay in America.
	Dennis, years ago...
	Alright, hold on.
	We've got to take a break.
	I wanted to remind everybody.
	UncleTom.com.
	It rhymes.
	it's perfect trending now on America first with Sebastian Burke I saw the first video that went viral but I didn't know until I watched Garen
	Thumb's video that that wasn't the only thing you did that day and that was the second weapon that you retrieved from rioters who had broken into a patrol castle So tell us everything that happened prior to that and then the second incident.
	All right.
	So we're on the corner of the street watching, and I'm holding security for my team, and I see these police vehicles that are being destroyed.
	And the first thing I thought when I saw them was, hey, you know, there's probably AR-15 patrol rifles in there, which there should, you know, there honestly should be.
	The police do need them.
	They have more than enough cars to have them.
	So I told myself I need to keep an eye on this situation because this could turn bad very fast.
	So it did, you know.
	Gun comes out of the front windshield, or front windshield, front passenger side, and I yelled gun and put my team immediately in a safe position and told them not to move.
	That guy fired several rounds into those vehicles and then went into a doorway and took cover.
	At that time, when he was firing, I was already moving on him with drawing my weapon and coming up at him.
	But you had a handgun.
	All you had was a handgun, and in the first incident that most people haven't seen, the person, the rider who took the weapon, was actually firing rounds off from that rifle, from that carbine, correct?
	Yep, absolutely.
	And who were they firing at?
	Was anybody hurt?
	No, the second that rifle came out, someone was yelling, clear the block, and everyone kind of saw that this guy had a rifle, and he fired into the vehicle.
	But he fired in the vehicle, everyone had split and went different ways down the street.
	So there's no one there.

	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show. .
	Folks, I'm talking to my friend Larry Elder, who has produced a glorious film called Uncle Tom, UncleTom.com.
	Larry Elder, who are some of the figures that appear in this film?
	I mentioned a couple of them a moment ago.
	You mentioned Carol Swain.
	She was a law professor at Vanderbilt in Tennessee.
	Got all sorts of grief because she, among other things, opposed race-based preferences, argued that they actually hurt black people because you're putting them on a track much faster than they can handle.
	They would have been perfectly fine at a lesser competitive school, but because we decided that there ought to be some sort of racial mixture at a given school, whether the kid can do the work or not.
	We've also got Herman Cain in there.
	Herman Cain was of course maligned as an Uncle Tom in a sellout when he ran because by definition any black person is a Republican is an Uncle Tom in a sellout.
	Never mind the skanky history of the Democratic Party, which by the way, we go over in the film, I think pretty thoroughly.
	The Democratic Party, of course, is a party of slavery.
	Democrats unanimously oppose the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment.
	Larry, I just want to interrupt.
	When people say stuff like what you're saying right now, I always have to hit pause and say...
	Nobody knows this.
	It can't be right that the Democrats are the party of slavery and the KKK. This show is now available on live video streaming on Town Hall TV, as well as our website.
	If you want to watch this show, not just listen, go to townhall.com and click on the Town Hall TV button.
	By the way, I just want to say that with regard to accessorizing cars, I... I'm not an expert in this arena by any means.
	I have never accessorized a car.
	However, my stepson, who is white, basically the car he bought doesn't look anything like the car he has ultimately made by accessorizing it.
	All his friends are doing the same thing.
	They come over and work on their car.
	It's like a body shop by house.
	Yeah.
	It's just...
	Anyway, you wanted to tell a story.
	Some years ago, after Chris Darden lost the O.J. Simpson case, he teamed up with the ACLU and demanded that police officers write down the race of people they pull over in traffic stops because it would therefore demonstrate some sort of unfair pattern.
	Right.
	I was on the air at the time.
	I said, please, go ahead and do it.
	You're going to collect this data and you're going to not be able to do anything with it because it's not going to prove what you want.
	So they've been collecting this data now for a number of years.
	Where are the class action lawsuits?
	Where are all the consent decrees based upon the disproportionate unfair stops?
	The data doesn't show anything because you can't tell by pulling somebody over and writing down the race what they did that caused you to pull them over in the first place.
	Secondly, Rialto, the city in California, 100,000 people.
	Cops were ordered to wear body cams.
	They didn't want to.
	After a year, complaints against officers fell 90%.
	Officer use of force fell 50%.
	Why?
	Well, people stopped lying on officers when they realized they were now being taped.
	Because lying on an officer is an offense.
	And officers didn't do anything any differently.
	People stopped lying and they stopped challenging them, so therefore the officers didn't have to use as much force as they had to use before.
	So their behavior was the same.
	They were trained the same.
	Civilians changed their behavior.
	They stopped lying and stopped challenging.
	That's why people listen to Larry Elder.
	Uncle Tom is the film.
	Let me see if I can summarize a few calls.
	It's so good, and it's a painful thing.
	Susan in Tampa wants you to know she watched Uncle Tom.
	Such a powerful and necessary movie.
	Highly recommends it.
	I'm with you, Susan.
	That is correct.
	Ben in Atlanta, Georgia.
	The victim mentality is manipulative.
	I'm sure you agree with that.
	Absolutely.
	They do it to get that 95%?
	Black vote.
	They have to.
	You're a victim.
	You're oppressed.
	And by the way, we're your saviors.
	Eric in L.A., how do we reconcile honoring George Washington and his slave ownership?
	Well, I've dealt with that very often, Eric.
	I was at a party once, and somebody said to me, what do you think about your boy having owned slaves?
	And I said, who's my boy?
	And he said, George Washington.
	I said, what do you think of your boy having plagiarized his doctoral thesis?
	He said, who's my boy?
	I said, Martin Luther King.
	He said, so?
	I said, exactly.
	And that ends that.
	That's why you gotta see Uncle Tom.
	Larry, God bless you.
	God bless you, Dennis.
