	Thank you.
	Hello everybody!
	Dennis Prager here.
	I'm going to go straight to my guest, one of the clearest thinkers that I have had the opportunity to dialogue with over the course of quite a number of years now.
	Bjorn Lomborg is president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center.
	That's in Denmark, of course.
	He's also a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
	His new book is one of the most important of the year.
	I would go so far as to say one of the most important of the decade.
	False Alarm.
	How climate change panic costs us trillions, hurts the poor, and fails to fix the planet.
	But other than that, it's terrific.
	I added that.
	Bjorn, it's been many, many times together, so I want to say to you, welcome in.
	Hey, thank you very much.
	Thank you very much for those kind words to the book.
	Yes, they are earned.
	When did it come out?
	So it came out on Tuesday, so just two days ago.
	Very nice.
	And you are now in Denmark.
	So tell me, in Denmark, are stores open?
	What's the story in Denmark?
	I'm actually a little confusingly in southern Sweden, so right across the town.
	But yes, it looks like stores are open in Denmark, and they're certainly open here in Sweden.
	Since I just know you to be a clear and honest thinker, so I have been a big defender of Sweden's policies, but that does not obligate you to agree with me in any way.
	Denmark always uses the example, Denmark and Norway, as examples of countries that did lock down and fewer deaths.
	Sweden claims, of course, it has more herd immunity.
	It kept its schools open.
	What is your take?
	Well, this is a very controversial conversation and obviously something where we still need to see the outcome of this.
	I think everyone agrees that you should not have shut down the schools.
	Partly because it helps almost nothing because you have all the kids instead running around at home and going to each other's houses.
	And, of course, you lose the education bar.
	So both Norway and Denmark have found that that was probably not a good idea.
	Whether you should shut down your society, of course, requires you to believe that you can do that again when the second and third wave comes.
	I think we're way too early in this conversation to see which approach was right.
	But I think it's worth pointing out that in Sweden, mostly for the set-up structure of society, it was scientists who decided, and they said we should flatten the curve, which is what everyone said, but we should not get it to zero.
	In Denmark and Norway, it was politicians who set the target, and they said we should get to zero.
	They did get to zero.
	It also cost a lot more.
	The question is whether that's sustainable.
	I think we still need to wait and see where this ends.
	But it's certainly not as clear-cut as I think many people would like it to be.
	Well, as I said, I rely on you for an honest answer.
	All right, let's go back to your book, False Alarm.
	How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet.
	This was your suspicion from the outset, which is why I've had you on my show now for so many years.
	So let's begin with the first part of it.
	What is the panic part?
	So the panic part is really that people are vastly exaggerating with scares on climate change.
	So let's just get one thing real.
	Climate change is a real challenge, and it's one that we should fix smartly.
	But right now, and I think increasingly over the last couple of years, people have gone to extreme lengths of being worried.
	So, you know, we have a lot of young people who are desperately afraid.
	The Washington Post showed that 57% of all school kids or adolescents are now worried about climate change.
	They're afraid of climate change.
	And if you ask adults across the world, it turns out that almost half of all adults in 28 countries across the world We believe that it's likely global warming will lead to the extinction of the human race.
	So, remember, this is not saying global warming is a problem, which is true, and which is what the UN Climate Pound tells us.
	They're actually saying this is the end of the world.
	That's why, you know, so many are now saying it's an existential crisis.
	That's just simply rubbish, and it's not what the UN Climate Pound is telling us.
	And, of course, being scared witless.
	Doesn't make for good decision-making.
	I want to repeat that.
	You said 50% of adults?
	Did I get that right?
	48%, yes.
	48% of adults worldwide?
	Yes.
	And 4 out of 10 in the U.S. So you guys are a little bit less worried, but not very much.
	Well, if it's 40% in the U.S., 40% of adults in the United States of America, Believe that there is an imminent doom to humanity because of the climate change.
	Among other things, it's hard to imagine that Joe Biden wouldn't win the election.
	I mean, just on that alone.
	I mean, vote for the man who will save humanity.
	And that's, of course, why politicians love climate change, because it gets you to say, not only is the world ending, But I will promise to save you.
	That's the most wonderful thing you can do when you're a politician, and then especially if you get to say, and in climate you do, you get to say, I will save you, and the price tag is going to come in the next election cycle.
	So, when they quote IPCC, the UN Commission Council on Climate Panel, Are they quoting, they meaning the panic-inducers, that is politicians and media, are they quoting them accurately?
	Well, they quote a lot of stuff, so some of it they're quoting accurately, but clearly there is no mention in the UN Climate Panel about this being the end of the world.
	They actually and explicitly said that in about 50 years, so in the 2070s, The impact of global warming will be negative.
	That's why it's a problem.
	But it will be equivalent to each one of us losing somewhere between 0.2% and 2% of our income.
	So instead of making, you know, $100,000 in 2075, you will now only make $99,900-something.
	I'm not going to try to do that math on air.
	But the fundamental point here is to recognize This is a problem, but it's not the end of the world.
	And I think most people also fail to recognize that the UN expects each person on the planet to be 2.63 times richer than he or she is today by 2075. So what they're basically saying is instead of us being 2.63 times richer by 2075, we will only be 3. Five, six times richer.
	Yes, we'll be slightly less, much richer in 2075 because of Global One.
	That is a problem, but that is not by any stretch of the imagination the end of the world.
	It's not, shall we say, existential.
	The book, ladies and gentlemen, is False Alarm, and it's required reading.
	So what do you say?
	I want to throw at you the best-known arguments.
	Look at the glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic.
	What do you say to that?
	Well, so glaciers are receding, not so much in much of the Antarctic, but they are receding in many places, and that shows global warming is real, and it also is, in the long term, a real problem.
	So, you know, this is what the UN Climate Panel is telling us.
	There is a problem.
	But we've got to stop saying, and then we're all going to die.
	Because making that leap, making that very, very simple story that obviously tells a lot more clicks, basically makes it impossible to have a sensible conversation about what we should do.
	If you think the world is ending, you're going to throw everything in the kitchen sink at it.
	If you realize that it's a problem, among many others, you also realize we need to.
	We conserve our scarce resources.
	We need to find smart solutions that are cost-effective, that will actually help the future rather than make it worse.
	All right.
	I will return with Bjorn Lomborg.
	The book is up at DennisPrager.com, and the book is False Alarm.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	If you are an alarmist, why don't you make a call here?
	1-8 Prager 776. When I think of what was done to the economies of America and the world because of the lockdown, added to what the next panic will do, if Joe Biden wins, I cannot see how the economy of this country can survive.
	We shall return momentarily.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	The Dennis Prager Show.
	live from the Relief Factor pain-free studio.
	Obama tore this country down!
	No one stood up to him.
	Nobody.
	Because he was black.
	You need to wake up.
	My parents didn't teach me that I was a victim.
	They can turn back voting rights.
	Didn't nobody donate to us the right to vote?
	You're a house nigga.
	I didn't call you a nigga.
	Oh, okay.
	That's a big difference.
	Uncle Tom.
	And Uncle Tom is somebody who has sold out by embracing the white man.
	Uncle Tom.
	Bedwins.
	Boot liquor.
	Black white supremacist.
	Chuckin and Jarvis.
	House Negro.
	Coon.
	Uncle Tom.
	Coon.
	Coon.
	I have a cool award over there.
	Cool of the year award.
	Most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent, free thinkers.
	I believe the legacy and the ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day.
	I will not pretend to be a victim in this country.
	I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable.
	Racist.
	A thousand cuts of racism.
	Racism.
	The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
	I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
	I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
	The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
	It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of black Americans.
	We're brainwashed to think, is it because I'm black?
	America's not ours, so we got shipped here.
	No.
	Our blood is on this soil.
	We own this too.
	There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great black men and women.
	Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
	So long as black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.
	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	We're talking about Dr. Fauci.
	The president has been critical of Dr. Fauci in recent days, and of course, Dr. Fauci has been defended on CNN and MSNB, which I watch so you don't have to.
	I just want to remind you of something Dr. Fauci said as late as March 8 on 60 Minutes.
	Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
	You're sure of it?
	Because people are listening really closely to this.
	Right now, people should not be walking.
	There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.
	When you're in the middle of an outbreak...
	There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.
	And now masks are mandatory.
	Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet.
	But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.
	Now, later on, Dr. Fauci said, well, you know, I said that because I just didn't want people to go out and buy masks because they would be a run-on mask and the health care providers would not be able to have them.
	So I lied!
	He didn't say he lied.
	But that's what he did.
	So, this guy is a respected, probably the guy that people look to.
	And here he is admitting that he lied because he did a cost-benefit analysis and felt it was better for you to presumably expose yourself or not have the defenses that you otherwise would have against the coronavirus because, after all, we don't want you to go out and buy masks when the health care providers need them.
	So I lied because it was in your benefit for me to do so.
	But generally speaking, I don't lie.
	Keep up with what's trending.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Quirka.
	Joe Biden, good to see you, sir.

	Hi everybody And I welcome you and officially welcome one once again Bjorn Lomborg See we want you to feel Well, thank you.
	You shouldn't have done that.
	That's very kind of you.
	I'm sure I'm pretty much the only one who understood that, but that's very nice of you.
	Well, we may have some...
	Danes living in America who are listening.
	But I just want you to know, we hired that woman just for your appearance.
	Well, thank you.
	Yes, I thought you would be touched, yes.
	Welcome to the Danish show in Danish.
	That was very good.
	I want you to know that this may not help you, and it may...
	I cause you to have second thoughts next time you're invited, but my belief is that only the absurd will keep me sane, given the time that we are living in.
	It's definitely good sometimes to be able to relax and kick back.
	Yes, it's critical.
	Bjorn Lomborg of Copenhagen and of the Hoover Institution at Stanford has written, False alarm.
	How climate change panic costs us trillions, hurts the poor, and fails to fix the planet.
	So you can't yell at this man as a quote-unquote science denier, given the fact that he fully acknowledges the world is getting warmer.
	So since you label it a panic, what if we did nothing?
	What would happen?
	So doing nothing would be a little worse than Being smart about this because we would forego doing some things that could actually help dealing with climate change and at fairly low cost reduce some of the problems with climate change.
	But as we mentioned in the last segment, the UN Climate Panel actually tells us that if we do nothing about climate change by the 2070s, so in about 50 years' time, the net impact will be at worst equivalent to URI. Having an income reduction of 2%.
	Right, I got that, yes.
	And remember, by then we'll be much richer.
	Of course.
	So, is all of this that we will be inundated by rising seas, is it a lie?
	So, it's a little bit of truth and a lot of, you know, making great headlines for newspapers.
	So, take the story that, you know, went around the world, and it was heavily featured in Washington Post and many other places, where they told us because of global warming, by the end of the century, 187 million people will have to move, and not surprisingly, many turned that into will drown.
	But, you know, it's built on the right idea that because temperature rises, seawater will get warmer.
	When things like seawater get warmer, they expand, and that means you get sea level rise.
	So there is a real problem.
	But what they've got to remember was to take into account that people actually act.
	So they were assuming that over the next 80 years, everyone would just sit still, watch the sea level rise, start lapping up over your feet and then your calves and then eventually your hips and eventually you'd have to move or drown.
	But of course, in reality, nobody actually does that.
	You adapt.
	You put up sea defenses, dikes, that kind of thing.
	We've done that plenty of times when we were much poorer.
	And so the very same research that told us if you do nothing, you will see 187 million people having to move.
	They showed that with any realistic adaptation you would see 305,000 people having to move by the end of the century.
	So the headline and the story that went around the world was 600 times too large.
	It was scary because it makes for great headlines, but it was dramatically wrong.
	Just to give you a sense of proportion, 300,000 people that have to move by the end of the century is trivial.
	Every year, about twice that number moves out just of California.
	Clearly, it's something we could handle on a global level over the next 80 years.
	Well, we move out of California because we have something worse than rising sea levels.
	We have a state run by Democrats, but you don't have to respond to that.
	I just thought that I would share my worries.
	All right, so that's the panic element.
	Let's go to the next one on your subtitle, How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Porn, and Fails to Fix the Planet.
	The Green New Deal will cost us how much?
	So, it's very hard to tell because the Democrats actually haven't costed their estimates, but probably in the order of $10 to $20 trillion.
	Remember, there's a lot of stuff in the Green New Deal that has nothing to do with Greens.
	I'm just looking at the Green part of the Green New Deal.
	So, $10 to $20 trillion.
	On top of the trillions just spent because of the lockdown, I know, I mean, economics may or may not be your area, but you have knowledge of a great many fields.
	If you just print, which is what we would have to do, we would have to print that amount of money.
	What does that do to the dollar?
	That's a good question.
	That's outside my area of expertise.
	You can't just spend free money.
	You're essentially making all of the money worth less.
	So at the end of the day, you're spending real resources on things that will only do a little good.
	So, you know, take, for instance, Biden's new proposal to spend $2 trillion on climate.
	And to a certain extent, you've got to say that's a lot better than wasting $10 trillion that he's only talking about spending $2 trillion.
	But some of the things that he's talking about, for instance, weatherizing homes, We know are ineffective.
	People say you should make your home, insulate your home because then you'll use less energy.
	But the problem is that these estimates are always way too high on the savings and way too low on the costs.
	So the biggest study in the U.S. done in Minnesota of about 40,000 houses showed that you don't actually make a profit.
	What you end up with is wasting about half the money on a weatherization.
	It's the kind of thing that sounds good, but it's just a waste of money.
	Biden is also talking about that we should be re-entering the Paris Agreement, and we should go to net zero by 2050, so basically the U.S. should stop emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by mid-century.
	This is going to be phenomenally hard to do.
	And it's probably going to be much, much more costly than just $2 trillion.
	Actually, estimates indicate that this could cost in the order of $5 trillion a year in lower economic growth to the U.S. economy.
	That's a lot of money.
	That's a lot of welfare.
	That's a lot of opportunity that we take away.
	But Biden, and I have to say this, he also proposes good ideas.
	He actually says we should be spending more money on innovating All right, we'll be back in a moment.
	Bjorn Lomborg, L-O-M-B-O-R-G, False Alarm is the book, up at DennisPrager.com, and it is really essential.
	We shall return. We shall return.
	We shall return.
	Here's what the President said about the Obama-Biden administration, something that he has to run against as we get nearer and nearer the general election.
	But if we had listened to Joe Biden, hundreds of thousands of additional lives would have been lost.
	And if you look at the job he did on swine flu, I looked at a poll.
	They have polls on everything nowadays.
	And they got very bad marks on the job they did on the swine flu.
	H1N1. He calls it N1H1. H1N1. Got very poor marks from Gallup.
	On the job they did on swine flu.
	That's the reason CNN and MSNBC claims they pulled out of the speech.
	They pulled out of the speech because they don't want Americans to see anything the president is saying.
	They lied about the Mount Rushmore speech because they don't want you to know what the president's message is.
	President pointed out, listen, China...
	Is playing a very crucial role.
	And the guy who has been sounding the alarm about China since the day he came down the escalator and announced he was running for president has been this guy.
	Joe Biden's entire career has been a gift to the Chinese Communist Party and to the calamity of errors that they've made.
	They made so many errors.
	And it's been devastating for the American worker.

	Some have said that vaccines can change our DNA.
	Don't get a vaccine, that this can be something that can be used by the government to track us.
	That sounds to me like, you know, tinfoil hat wearing luniness.
	I understand caution with regard to vaccines, but would you say that vaccines are something that people can get or do you take a stand against them for medical reasons?
	Well, I'm not supportive of all vaccines, but something like this, if you're an elderly patient or someone at high risk, yes, I believe you probably should get the vaccine if it's been proven to be a benefit.
	But someone young, I don't think it's necessary.
	I'm not an advocate overall for vaccines.
	But, you know, we need to make sure that the testing is reliable, the studies are reliable, the results are reliable.
	We're getting a lot of false information from that perspective.
	But the thing is, Eric, you're entitled to good health as a believer in Christ.
	You have to follow the rules and the natural.
	You need to exercise.
	You need to sleep well.
	You need to keep your stress down.

	Okay.
	I'm Dennis Prager and my guest is Bjorn Lomborg.
	By the way, after your 10th appearance, after a guest's 10th appearance on the Dennis Prager show, we send them a box of cigars.
	Do you smoke cigars, Bjorn?
	I don't.
	Yes, so therefore it goes both ways.
	After 10 appearances on my show, I get a box of cigars.
	There you go!
	Yeah, so we've solved the problem.
	Okay.
	All right.
	You know what?
	He's going to hang up on us.
	Bjorn Lomborg has written a truly, truly important book.
	My friends, it is amazing.
	We live in a world of panic.
	And he does not deny for a moment that the world is getting warmer.
	So he starts off from a place where even your relatives who think that the world has 12 years to survive, Because what, he denies that the world is getting warmer?
	No, he doesn't.
	How climate change panic costs us trillions, hurts the poor, and fails to fix the planet.
	So you said that you thought that there was something good in a Joe Biden plan, and what was it?
	So Joe Biden promises a lot of things that are basically going to spend a lot of money and not do very much good, but he does talk about one thing, namely innovation.
	Energy innovation.
	So look, fundamentally the problem is that right now, fossil fuels is one of the cheapest ways to get dependable and reliable and cheap energy.
	And that's why most people around the world use mostly fossil fuel.
	Trying to force people onto more expensive or less reliable energy is hard.
	You can do it a little bit, but you will fail when you try to push.
	People too much because their energy bills go up, they're going to be dissatisfied, they're going to vote you out of office.
	So the only long-term way that we're going to fix global warming is if we can innovate the price of green energy down below fossil fuels.
	Imagine if we could make some sort of green energy, and that could be a lot of different things.
	It could be solar and wind with batteries, but it could also be nuclear, it could be fusion, it could be lots of crazy ideas that are out there that could potentially work.
	But if we could get one technology that would be cheaper than fossil fuel, everyone would switch.
	Not just rich, well-meaning Americans, but also Chinese, Indians, everybody in Latin America, and so on.
	The point here is, if we can utilize the market mechanism to actually make cheaper green energy through innovation, that's what solves the climate problem.
	And, of course, that's what has solved most human problems throughout history.
	Not telling people to do with less, but to do things smarter and cheaper.
	So, you are on board, not only with the supposition, or the truth, if you will, that the world is getting warmer, but that the primary cause of that warming is anthropocentric, is anthropic, however one wants to say.
	Human-made.
	Yes, human-made.
	Is that correct?
	Yes, absolutely.
	And the human-made is carbon emission?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Because we burn fossil fuels and a little bit of other things like...
	Right.
	Do you realistically believe that a non...
	Based on the technology we have now, so essentially it's wind, solar, and nuclear.
	I am a big aficionado of nuclear.
	And I find that I do believe that anybody who believes the world is coming to an end and doesn't advocate nuclear power doesn't really believe what they say.
	Would you react to that?
	Yeah, no, you're absolutely right.
	If you think this is the end of the world and you need to have 2-2 free energy, of course you should go nuclear.
	Look, first of all, nuclear is 2-2 free.
	Baseload power, so you can have it 24-7.
	The only problem, and it's incredibly safe, actually, if you look across, you know, people think about Chernobyl and...
	Right, so the only problem is what?
	I'm curious.
	The only problem is cost.
	So, existing nuclear power plants are incredibly cheap to run, because we've already put in the money to build them, and we've committed eventually to decommissioning them.
	But new power plants...
	Turn out to be very costly.
	And so if you want to have new power, and that's what you have most of the developing world, but also some in the rich world, as we're facing an old plant, they're tremendously costly.
	And so right now, nuclear power is just as, if you will, just as ineffective as solar or wind.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	All right, we'll be back in a moment.
	False Alarm is the book.
	And I want to remind you of an important product, Riduzone, developed by doctors.
	That's what convinced me.
	I've never advertised anything to do with weight loss.
	And actually, I advertise it for health, at least as much as weight loss, because Riduzone is composed of the molecule OEA, which you produce in your own body, to tell your brain you're full.
	So you'll eat less.
	As you know, I've told you for two years that I do daily fasting, what's called intermittent, so I'm a big believer in it.
	But a lot of people find that very difficult.
	So this helps.

	The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
	I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
	thud I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
	The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
	It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of black Americans.
	We're brainwashed to think, is it because I'm black?
	America's not ours, so we got shipped here.
	No.
	Our blood is on this soil.
	We own this too.
	There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great black men and women.
	Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
	So long as black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.

	Some have said that vaccines can change our DNA, don't get a vaccine, that this can be something that can be used by the government to track us.
	That sounds to me like, you know, tinfoil hat wearing luniness.
	I understand.
	Caution with regard to vaccines, but would you say that vaccines are something that people can get or do you take a stand against them for medical reasons?
	Well, I'm not supportive of all vaccines, but something like this, if you're an elderly patient or someone at high risk, yes, I believe you probably should get the vaccine if it's been proven to be a benefit with someone young.
	I don't think it's necessary.

	Bjorn Lomborg is a serious thinker, and he has written false alarm.
	He acknowledges that the world is getting warmer.
	He believes, or he is convinced, that it is human-induced.
	Nevertheless, he is an opponent of the panic that has taken place and why it is hurting the billions.
	Around the world.
	I added billions.
	Maybe I'll just say many people around the world.
	I don't want to cite something he didn't say.
	How climate change panic costs us trillions, hurts the poor and fails to fix the planet.
	So I did not realize this was a learning moment for me.
	I'm a big advocate of nuclear power.
	So you're saying it's one downside is it remains expensive.
	In other words, vis-a-vis Fossil fuel, it's more expensive.
	Yes.
	Yes, so newly built nuclear power plants are very, very costly.
	Typically because, and it's not because we don't know why, it's because they have vast cost overrun, and because there's security measure over security measure, and they keep changing the plannings.
	So it's very hard, it takes a long time, and they run way over budget.
	So again, this is why, and I think your intuition is absolutely right, nuclear could very well be the solution to climate change.
	So Bill Gates and many others have invested dramatically in fourth-generation nuclear power, which is a new, very, very simple way to do nuclear power plants.
	You basically produce them on an assembly line.
	You assemble them like Legos.
	They're very safe, and they promise to be incredibly cheap.
	The point is not that that wouldn't be wonderful.
	The point is we don't have that today.
	They're promising us that it will be very cheap, but of course, they also promised that about the last generations of nuclear power, and that didn't quite work out.
	And innovation is the way forward.
	We don't know.
	No, no, that's okay.
	That's okay.
	Go on.
	So, you know, innovation is not about which technology we're going to focus on.
	Innovation is...
	You focus on a lot of these technologies.
	You spend money on them.
	Most of them are going to fail, but that's fine because innovation is very, very cheap compared to actually producing stuff.
	So you innovate in a lot of different technologies, and we really just need one or a few technologies, and those are the ones that will power.
	Why invest anything, then, in wind and solar?
	So you should invest in next generations wind and solar because we need also those technologies to become better.
	But what we're doing right now is, of course, putting up lots of existing inefficient wind and solar that we know is inefficient, that we have to subsidize, and which basically produces no extra benefit.
	We're simply doing it because it feels good.
	It gets politicians to show, see, I'm doing something about climate change.
	But the reality, of course, is...
	Right now, the International Energy Agency estimates that the world gets just a little over 1% of its energy from solar and wind.
	So remember, although we've spent so many years, we've spent so many trillions of dollars in subsidies, we're still not anywhere close to having this make a meaningful impact.
	So I want to understand, when people like the left on the Democratic Party Tell us, wind and solar, wind and solar, wind and solar.
	Are they fooling themselves?
	Well, it's hard to know.
	What they're telling us is that, I think they're telling us two things.
	They're saying, we need to cut carbon emissions and we like solar and wind best.
	But surely this shouldn't be about what you like.
	It should be about what is cost-effective.
	And unfortunately, mostly, that's still not solar and wind.
	Do you think Angela Merkel...
	Let me interrupt for a moment.
	I'm sorry.
	Do you think Angela Merkel regrets her decision to shut down nuclear plants in Germany?
	Well, she should.
	I'm not sure she does, because remember, a politician's job is not actually to do what's best for her nation.
	It is to win the next election.
	And if people are sufficiently worried about nuclear, it probably makes...
	People want to vote for Merkel.
	But of course, the reality, as you're alluding to, is she basically shut down a lot of cheap nuclear power because it had already been built.
	So a lot of cheap nuclear power that emitted no CO2, and it's mostly been replaced by fossil fuels that emit more CO2, which is one of the reasons why Germany has spent about half a trillion dollars and reduced their emissions surprisingly little.
	Okay, let's go to the part which really touches my heart in your subtitle, Hurts the Poor.
	Go ahead.
	How does all of this hurt the poor?
	So if you make energy more expensive, that hurts everyone, but the people who use the larger part of their budget on energy are the poor.
	If you're rich, you don't really notice whether gasoline goes up a little bit, but if you're poor, it can really make the difference between you being able to Go drive to your job or not.
	Okay.
	That's right.
	Not to mention what we've done to the poor with the lockdowns of the world.

	Final segment, unfortunately, could talk to this man the entire show, False Alarm is the book.
	How climate change panic costs us trillions, hurts the poor, and fails to fix the planet.
	He does not deny climate change.
	To those of you who are interested or believe in the crisis, his point is that it's panic.
	That's been my point the whole time.
	And we live in hysteria.
	Bjorn Lomborg is the author.
	Hoover Institution at Stanford and president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center.
	He is Danish himself.
	Let me review Bjorn some of the calls so that they feel at least that I got their questions or comments on to the, in some cases, on to the show.
	Let's see here.
	So, somebody wants to know if you've seen Michael Moore's Planet of the Humans film.
	Yes, I have.
	And I also reviewed it for a Danish newspaper.
	So fundamentally, it asks the right question, namely, can we really have the world powered by renewables?
	And the answer is probably no and certainly at a very large cost.
	But unfortunately, it also engaged in a lot of other theories and conspiracy theories and stuff.
	It's an okay film, but unfortunately, it's muddled a lot.
	But it has a good center point.
	Right, and it's shocking that he would come out against renewables at all.
	And that just goes to show that I think a lot of people realize, look, you can't have any sort of energy type without problems.
	And we've got to be honest, there's also going to be problems with solar and wind.
	And, you know, the biggest problem is probably...
	But it costs a lot of money, and most people don't actually want to see their energy bills go up.
	Bjorn, let me ask you, have you ever invited anyone of the leading environmentalists to a public debate?
	Oh, God, yes, many times.
	I've debated Bill McKibben and many others.
	And, you know, fundamentally, I think they're all good guys.
	But I think they're fundamentally misguided in their ability To think about priorities.
	You can't just say, we're going to do this at whatever the cost.
	I did not know you debated McGibbon, and I'm surprised that he did.
	Is that on YouTube?
	Can I watch it?
	Actually, I don't know.
	It was at his college in Middleburn, Vermont.

	Transcription by CastingWords And New York City's crime is skyrocketing.
	Listen to what this brilliant, progressive, this smart, charismatic, bubbly, far-left, radical, progressive congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had to say over the weekend about rising crime.
	And why it's happening.
	Get ready, because this is a doozy.
	So why is this uptick in crime happening?
	Well, let's think about it.
	Do we think this has to do with the fact that there's record unemployment in the United States right now?
	The fact that people are at a level of economic desperation that we have not seen since the Great Recession?
	Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent.
	And so they go out.
	And they need to feed their child and they don't have money.
	So you maybe have to, they're put in a position where they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry that night.
	Maybe it's the fact that unemployment provisions have not been given to everyone.
	Maybe it's because of the fact that some people still haven't gotten their stimulus checks yet.
	Tell me you've ever hurt a stupider person in public life in your life.
	I dare you.
	Maybe people are hungry and they need to steal a loaf of bread.
	You know, like Jean Valjean from Les Miserables, the Victor Hugo novel.
	That's all, because he was a good man.
	And all he did was steal a loaf of bread.
	So when you slaughter a one-year-old who's at a cookout, or you kill somebody when you're shooting people, and you just want to steal a loaf of bread.
	Because maybe your stimulus check hasn't arrived yet.

	So a lot of us are confused about what to make of the current situation, generally speaking, much less medically.
	But medically speaking, what do you as a medical doctor have to say about it that we might not know?
	Well, let me tell you about this virus.
	This is a new virus.
	It's a new presentation to our bodies.
	It came out of China.
	Was it man-made?
	I don't know.
	Was it from a bat?
	We're not clear on that.
	But this virus is new to human beings.
	And because it is new, we have no way of defending ourselves.
	We don't have built-in immunity.
	To fight the virus.
	That's why it's causing havoc around the world.
	That's why it's so contagious.
	And in fact, this virus is different than other viruses because it's a crone, it's a round sphere, and it has these deadly spikes on it that attach to the endothelium of our lungs, our nasal passages, and it locks in like a fish hook and it sticks.
	And when that happens, it causes havoc.
	So what can we do to prevent this?
	The first thing is that we need to maintain stability in our mind because fear is not going to win this battle.
	And we need to know that for the most part, most people will do very well even if they get this virus.
	The people that do poorly are those that are already chronically sick, the elderly, those that are in dialysis units, those that are already immunocompromised, nursing homes.
	That's a small part of the population.
	But in general, Most people will do very well except for those at a higher risk.

	He is the man who wrote the book.
	It's been far too long, my friend.

	I've got to say your name first.
	Welcome, Steve.
	Good to be with you.
	you and by the way Sebastian I know the answer hello everybody Dennis Prager here you
	And I sit before so many important things to bring to you.
	The most important is to remind you that if the Democrats win, the further de-Americanization of the American dream will take place.
	And we will come closer to the socialist slash communist ideals of the left.
	Much less liberty, much less prosperity, and much more government.
	It shows you how effective the education or the indoctrination has been over the last half century that people will vote for this.
	The media, which have...
	There's no self-respect in the media.
	The entire purpose of the Washington Post, New York Times, LA Times, etc., CNN, is to get the left in power.
	There is no other purpose.
	News is a facade.
	And so the preoccupation has been with lying about the president.
	Two years of Russian collusion, it was a lie.
	We all knew.
	All conservatives knew it was a lie.
	All honest liberals knew it was a lie.
	When it turned out to be a lie, they just moved on.
	Then Ukraine.
	Then impeachment.
	Now it's his fault that the country is in lockdown.
	His instinct was not to lock down, but of course he couldn't do it because then every death would have been attributed to him.
	So, you know, we could not have done what Sweden did because the hysteria in the country would have been what it already is.
	We're in lockdown in California, and the number of people dying here is tiny.
	The chances of somebody under 50 dying in this country are so minuscule as to be absurd as a...
	As a concern of Americans.
	But people are led.
	The sheep-like behavior of many Americans is one of the most depressing things of my lifetime.
	It is no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave, as there is so much less freedom and courage is rarer than it has ever been in American history.
	This is not a generation that would have fought World War II. It's a generation that would have asked about the safety of every person who went abroad to fight Hitler and the Japanese.
	So, we have also a very, very weak, rhetorically weak Republican Party that does not make clear What it is that the Democrats, the left, wants to do to this country.
	By the way, even if they made it clear, it might not be effective.
	Because many Americans want ever bigger government, want to work less, get more benefits.
	So, who knows?
	It might not even work.
	I think it still would, but it is what it is.
	The gigantic lie of America as a racist country that persists, The absurd levels.
	I read to you yesterday from the National African American Museum.
	What is considered white culture?
	Things like objective thinking, rational thinking, excellence, the nuclear family.
	Do you understand?
	Do you realize that if the Ku Klux Klan came out with this same message, You would say, that is so racist.
	You mean blacks don't believe in excellence?
	Black culture does not believe in hard work?
	Black culture does not believe in a nuclear family?
	That's right.
	That is what the national, that's what the left says.
	That's correct.
	All of the wonderful values that made our society possible, John
	McWhorter is a black thinker.
	And is one of the few non-leftists at the Atlantic.
	And he wrote a piece, The Dehumanizing Condescension of White Fragility.
	I'd like to read excerpts to you.
	Ken John McWhorter is black.
	One of America's favorite advice books of the moment is actually a racist track.
	This will be taught in schools all over America, what this black thinker calls a racist track.
	White fragility he's talking about.
	Despite the sincere intentions of its author, it's the only part of the book that I would differ with, I have no idea if she's sincere or not, nor do I give a damn.
	The sincerity of people who have ruined societies is a non-debatable thing.
	Communists were sincere, Nazis were sincere, fascists were sincere.
	Sincerity is the most overrated of the good characteristics of the human species.
	Sincerity never, ever guarantees goodness.
	I'd rather have an insincere, good person.
	Let's put it this way.
	I'd rather somebody say, how are you?
	Hi, nice to see you, when I walk into a store.
	Insincerely, then be sincere and ignore me.
	Right?
	I would.
	You might not.
	That's my preference.
	The book diminishes black people.
	That's interesting that he, I don't believe, I wonder if he capitalized B. You know, I don't capitalize the B in black in my columns.
	However, the Associated Press has already listed that that is the way it is supposed to be.
	Supposed to be spelled.
	And so creators who syndicate my column, they already changed it.
	But I told them to go back to the regular B, small b.
	But he has, I wonder if it's Atlantic Policy or John McWhorter.
	I'll have him on the show and ask him.
	The book diminishes black people in the name of dignifying us.
	Yes, of course it does.
	That was my column two weeks ago.
	Blacks have been set back 50 years by Black Lives Matter and by the left.
	When writers who are this sure of their convictions turn out to make a compelling case, it is genuinely exciting.
	This is sadly not one of those times, even though white guilt and politesse have apparently distracted many readers from the book's numerous obvious flaws.
	For one, D'Angelo's book is replete with claims that are either plain wrong or bizarrely disconnected from reality.
	This is a black thinker in the Atlantic.
	D'Angelo insinuates that when white women cry upon being called racists, black people are reminded of white women crying as they lied about being raped by black men eons ago.
	But how would she know?
	Where is the evidence for this presumptuous claim?
	Is that bizarre?
	If a white woman cries upon being called a racist, it reminds the Angelo of the white women who cried when they lied about being raped by a black man.
	The disconnect from reality and from reason?
	It's total.
	Remember, though, reason, objectivity, linear thinking is now called white.
	We continue.
	An especially weird passage is where D'Angelo breezily decries the American higher education system in which he says no one ever talks about racism.
	He's right.
	That's bizarre.
	They don't talk about racism at college?
	Do they talk about anything else?
	I can get through, he's quoting D'Angelo, I can get through graduate school without ever discussing racism, she writes.
	I can graduate from law school without ever discussing racism.
	I can get through a teacher education program without ever discussing racism.

	Congressman, I want to ask you about something I've discussed with a few people this morning.
	John Durham is the United States Attorney, has been tasked with investigating the investigators.
	Prosecutors don't typically turn in a report.
	They either indict or don't indict.
	Both Byron York and Tom Cotton argued for a report in this instance if there are any indictments.
	I expect there will be some indictments.
	What is your opinion on this?
	I'm of the opinion that there will be indictments.
	That's what I feel.
	And I think there's two reasons for this.
	There's been too much going into it.
	Durham is an excellent prosecutor, and also the Attorney General has given him a lot of latitude and also help in this investigation, opening up doors in the intelligence community and others.
	What we don't need is another Mueller.
	What we don't need is another, you know, this giant report that says, well, we came close.
	No, I believe there's going to be indictments at some point in this process, and I believe that hopefully they will come soon.
	You see, I do not want to establish a precedent of prosecutors giving us their opinion of when, you know, hand grades and horseshoe close counts.
	I don't like close.
	I think that is dangerous as can be.
	What we're getting into now with the Comeys of the world and the others, they want to go out and instead of being able to make their case, they just want to plant seeds about.
	This is the corruption of the left.
	They can't make their case.

	But if we had listened to Joe Biden, hundreds of thousands of additional lives would have been lost.
	And if you look at the job he did on swine flu, I looked at a poll.
	They have polls on everything nowadays.
	And they got very bad marks on the job they did on the swine flu.
	H1N1. He calls it N1H1. H1N1. Got very poor marks from Gallup on the job they did on swine flu.
	That's the...
	The reason CNN and MSNBC claims they pulled out of the speech.
	They pulled out of the speech because they don't want Americans to see anything the president is saying.
	They lied about the Mount Rushmore speech because they don't want you to know what the president's message is.
	The president pointed out, listen, China is playing a very crucial role and the guy who has been sounding the alarm about China Since the day he came down the escalator and announced he was running for president, has been this guy.
	Joe Biden's entire career has been a gift to the Chinese Communist Party and to the calamity of errors that they've made.
	They made so many errors.
	And it's been devastating for the American worker.

	Some have said that vaccines can change our DNA.
	Don't get a vaccine.
	That this can be something that can be used by the government to track us.
	That sounds to me like, you know, tinfoil hat wearing luniness.
	Okay, y'all, I'm reading to you. I'm reading to you.
	John McWhorter.
	Who is a black intellectual writing in The Atlantic, one of the only non-left-wing pieces at The Atlantic.
	And he is reviewing this book, White Fragility, which is a book because it's printed on paper and has a cover.
	But the absurdity of it, I guess, is only exceeded by...
	The damage that it is doing.
	But it's part of the left's damage of the society.
	Bruce Bauer writes, by the way, talking about damage to society in American Greatness.
	I want to read to you one line from this, from a piece that he just wrote.
	And, let's see.
	How did I just have it?
	Oh, yes.
	It's really an effective line.
	If anything is crystal clear at present, it's that all this leftist mayhem, encouraged by the Democratic Party and its adherents, represents an existential threat to America as we know it.
	That's correct.
	That's the only existential threat.
	Not global warming.
	Or anything.
	Or racism.
	The existential threat is the left.
	The only reason you would deny it is because it's too painful to acknowledge.
	And people don't like pain.
	And because it takes courage to acknowledge it.
	Because you then can lose friends.
	Even relatives.
	Anyway.
	So, he said, it's absurd.
	He writes, no one ever talks about racism in the education system.
	I am mystified that D'Angelo thinks this laughably antique depiction reflects any period after roughly 1985. For example, an education school curriculum neglecting racism in our times would be about as common That's right.
	D'Angelo also writes, as if certain shibboleths of the black left, for example, that all disparities between white and black people are due to racism of some kind, represent the incontestable truth.
	This ideological bias is hardly unique to D'Angelo, and a reader could look past it.
	Along with the other lapses in argumentation I have noted if she offered some kind of higher wisdom.
	The problem is that white fragility is the prayer book for what can only be described as a cult.
	Now this is very interesting.
	I, as a result of the article about Seattle and the Human Rights Commission there, I have finally realized that that is the proper term.
	I've always said leftism was a secular religion.
	It is more correct to call it a cult.
	You sever relations with those who differ with you, even if parents.
	That's a very big part of a cult.
	You do not believe in reason or objectivity.
	That is a white culture idea, reason and objectivity.
	It is all emotion.
	You are thrown out if you differ.
	It is a herd-like behavior.
	It is a cult.
	He's the second one to use cult in a week, and this is a black intellectual.
	We must consider what is required to pass muster as a non-fragile white person.
	Okay, let's read that again.
	We must consider what is required to pass muster as a non-fragile, that's the way to read it, white person.
	Refer to a bad neighborhood, and you're using code for black.
	Call it a black neighborhood.
	And you're a racist.
	By D'Angelo's logic, you are not to describe such neighborhoods at all, even in your own head.
	You must not ask black people about their experiences and feelings because it isn't their responsibility to educate you.
	Instead, you must consult books and websites.
	Never mind that upon doing this, you will be accused of holding actual black people at a remove.
	You must never cry in black people's presence as you explore racism, not even in sympathy, because then all the attention goes to you instead of black people.
	If you object to any of the feedback that D'Angelo offers you about your racism, you are engaging in a type of bullying, quote, Whose function is to obscure racism, protect white dominance, and regain white equilibrium, unquote.
	A friend of my stepson, who is in our home very frequently, a few times a week, a wonderful young man happens to be black, and he was telling me yesterday that He notices that white people increasingly don't talk to him as a human, but as a black.
	And I said that this is what the left is doing.
	This is exactly what I wrote two weeks ago.
	The left dehumanizes blacks.
	That's the irony.
	Which is what this black writer is saying.
	Black Lives Matter is as anti-black an organization as exists outside of the Ku Klux Klan.
	But all the left is, not just Black Lives Matter.
	Because what it says is black lives are different.
	And so that any normal human exchanges are fraught with the possibility of some microaggression.
	It is inevitable that non-blacks, not just whites, non-blacks will talk to many blacks unless they know them personally, in a very reserved, mechanical way.
	Moreover, and this is why the left dehumanizes blacks, you are not really just human, you are black.
	And remember, if you say there's only one race, the human race, or that you don't care about color and therefore colorblind, that's called racist.
	So what you're supposed to do, according to the sick, evil world of the left that your children are being taught because you have decided to send them to school, in most cases, there are some schools that don't do this, is to learn that, in fact, the only thing to know about a black person, Is there skin color?
	Everything else is fraught with danger.
	Why blacks would welcome this is one of the great questions that I will ask the Lord upon meeting.
	We shall return.

	Most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent, free thinkers.
	I believe the legacy and the ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day.
	I will not pretend to be a victim in this country.
	I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable.
	Racist.
	Racism.
	A thousand cuts of racism.
	The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
	I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
	I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
	The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
	It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of black Americans.
	We're brainwashed to think, is it because I'm black?
	America's not ours, so we got shipped here.
	No.
	Our blood is on this soil.
	We own this too.
	There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great black men and women.
	Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
	So long as black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.

	That sounds to me like, you know, tinfoil hat wearing luniness.
	I understand caution with regard to vaccines, but would you say that vaccines are something that people can get or do you take a stand against them for medical reasons?
	Well, I'm not supportive of all vaccines, but something like this, if you're an elderly patient or someone at high risk, yes, I believe you probably should get the vaccine if it's been proven to be a benefit, but someone young.
	I don't think it's necessary.
	I'm not an advocate overall for vaccines.
	But, you know, we need to make sure that the testing is reliable, the studies are reliable, the results are reliable.
	We're getting a lot of false information from that perspective.

	Okay, I have been reading to you from the black intellectual, John McWhorter, reviewing a book he considers absurd, which it is, White Fragility.
	And I want to repeat what is happening is what the left has done is dehumanize blacks.
	That's what they're doing.
	Remember, everything the left touches, it ruins.
	Now it is black life.
	It's obviously ruining America.
	Blacks are not, they're not real in the left's view, and they're not.
	See, the left, by far the most racism in the country is left racism.
	Blacks are different.
	That's really what is being said.
	Because if you say that everybody is the same, In the sense that, of course, everybody's different, but everybody's the same in the sense of what really matters is their character, their personality, intelligence, kindness, etc.
	No, that's racist.
	Color is defining.
	So if color is defining, I can't possibly know you if I'm not black.
	So if there is one group of people That is inherently unknowable, then they're different.
	I'm knowable.
	A black can know me.
	A black does not have to have walked in white shoes to know me.
	A black does not have to have walked in Jewish shoes to know me.
	This notion that you have to be a part of one's racial group to know them is racist.
	That is truly racist.
	I am utterly knowable by a person of a different group.
	Completely.
	To deny that is to engage in as primitive a notion of the human as possible.
	But that's what the left does.
	And for reasons that are somewhat known to me and somewhat a puzzle to me, many blacks have bought into this, yes, We are different.
	That's right.
	We are different not just from whites, from Hispanics.
	We are just different.
	We're different from blacks who come from Africa.
	So it's not even color or from the Caribbean.
	I continue with McWhorter, the black intellectual.
	A corollary question is why black people need to be treated the way D'Angelo assumes we do.
	The very assumption is deeply condescending to all proud black people.
	Thank you.
	See?
	I guess if a black says this, it has more credibility, which is fine with me.
	I don't care.
	I just care that you understand how dehumanizing leftist rhetoric is, and that this is what your...
	Brainwashed teacher will be teaching your children.
	You have to think of an alternative to sending your child to school now.
	To send your child to school today, in most cases, there are exceptions.
	But in most schools today, you are sending your child to loathe what you most care about.
	And I totally get it.
	What a pain it is.
	It should have been effortless.
	You send your kid to school, and that's it.
	You don't have to worry about their entering into a cult.
	I'm sorry.
	It is a horrible development.
	The schools need to be denuded of students for the message to be gotten.
	I will tell you about the Los Angeles teachers' unions, what they are demanding.
	You will understand that they don't give a crap about your kids.
	It's all about leftism.
	The very assumption is deeply condescending to all proud black people.
	In my life, racism has affected me now and then at the margins in very occasional social ways, but has had no effect on my access to societal resources.
	If anything, it has made them more available to me than they would have been otherwise.
	In other words, if you will, he has had black privilege.
	The difference between him and the left, whether white or black, is he's honest.
	Few books about race have more openly infantilized black people.
	Than this supposedly authoritative tome.
	Or simply dehumanized us.
	Get that?
	We have identical views of this sick, condescending, dehumanizing, racist tract called white fragility.
	But your kids will study it!
	Why would you send them to a school that taught this crap?
	You have to answer it.
	I'm sorry.
	There's homeschooling, there are some religious schools, and there's some charter schools, but most private and public schools are now dehumanizing, if you will.

	This review of white fragility, it is up at DennisPrager.com.
	It's written in the Atlantic, which one out of every 400 pieces is not a left-wing diatribe.
	This is one of them.
	Maybe because he's black, they allowed a non-leftist in.
	Her answer to white fragility, in other words, The sad truth is that anyone falling under the sway of this blinkered, self-satisfied, punitive stunt of a primer has been taught by a well-intentioned but tragically misguided pastor how to be racist in a whole new way.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That's what your kids, if they...
	Are studying this?
	They will learn to loathe America in the 1619 campaign.
	And they will learn that blacks are not real.
	And that by white fragility.
	Great combo.
	Huh?
	That's what you're going to...
	Oh, yes.
	I always forget drag queen.

	Candice in Sag Harbor, Washington.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Yes, I'm from Gig Harbor, Washington.
	And I wanted to share what happened to me at my...
	University that I attend.
	I'm a teacher candidate, and I'm receiving my master's degree for elementary education.
	By the way, we no longer say master's degree on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Okay.
	Owners.
	Like with the owner's suite in a house.
	Okay.
	You'll have it getting an owner's degree.
	I'm earning that degree, an owner degree.
	And I recently shared a video from PragerU, and it's by Jordan Peterson, and it's the one where he's debunking white privilege.
	It's paired with another speaker who I can't remember the name of at the moment.
	I shared this on my private Instagram, and basically what happened is a student, That I wasn't friends with on my Instagram reported my video to the dean.
	I didn't make any comments on it.
	I simply re-shared the PragerU video.
	And told my dean that I had racist views because I shared this video.
	And my dean chose to make an example of me out of the entire class.
	So basically on the Zoom call yesterday, or not Zoom call, it was through Canvas.
	We had a discussion where the student called me out but didn't say my name.
	And she was like, if you want to talk about this, you should speak now.
	But if you don't talk about this, you're a coward and you're hiding behind your screen.
	Because we want to know why you would post a video that is so offensive and so deeply racist to all the work that we've been doing this year to fight racism.
	And I didn't say anything because I was like, this isn't appropriate.
	It doesn't pertain to school.
	And so she didn't give my name.
	But then the dean then said, Candace, if you would like to speak now, which was far more a demand than a request.
	And so for the next few hours, I realized that their whole agenda was basically To berate me and tell me my beliefs were wrong and because they didn't align with their belief that like I'm just a terrible person and that I had white privilege and that I wasn't aware of my own privilege.
	How many people spoke up?
	How many people spoke up?
	So no one spoke up for me.
	No, no, no.
	How many people spoke up against you?
	So, I have three professors in the class, one of them being the dean, and then the person who spoke up against me was the girl who had called me out, basically.
	A few students stepped in and they said, I have a couple quotations.
	I said, I feel like you are violating my First Amendment right of speaking, or right of, like, just sharing my thoughts.
	And I said, I feel like I'm being criminalized by a group.
	And they said, if you were being criminalized, we would be kicking down your door and putting a gun to your head.
	That was what one of the students said.
	Right.
	And one started crying.
	One started crying?
	Yeah, because they were offended that someone could be with them for 11 months.
	And put up...

	Florida breaks the U.S. coronavirus record for new cases in a day.
	15,300 new cases yesterday broke the previous record.
	Some of the increase, according to New York Times, reflects the dramatic increase in testing.
	We know that.
	Florida is testing several times the number of people that New York City did at the height of its crisis.
	The spread of the disease in the Florida sun does not play out with the same dread as it did in the crowded city streets of New York City.
	Hospitals are better supplied, somewhat more prepared to treat patients than they were in March and April.
	A lot of people are intuiting that the disease is less deadly.
	I don't think that's correct.
	There are two strains of it running around, and it may be correct.
	But I know one thing is doctors are much better skilled at treating it.
	And people are much quicker to get treatment.
	And people are not being turned away at the ER complaining of respiratory problems and high fevers.
	They're being treated in isolation wards.
	They know the antivirals that work.
	They know the variety of hydroxychloroquine regimes that are appropriate or not appropriate.
	We're learning a lot as new therapies come on.
	And as a result, it's not nearly as deadly.
	It's still deadly.
	I think I read over the weekend 0.8% is the current death rate, which is a lot.
	If you figured 330 million Americans got that, 1% would be 3.3 million Americans.
	Good news remains the same in studies that published over the weekend that we just don't have any children under 10 dying of the disease.
	Very few under 20. Trending now on the Mike Gallagher Show.
	And New York City's crime is skyrocketing.
	Listen to what this brilliant progressive, this smart, charismatic, bubbly, far-left, radical, progressive congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had to say over the weekend about rising crime.
	And why it's happening.
	Get ready, because this is a doozy.
	So why is this uptick in crime happening?
	Well, let's think about it.
	Do we think this has to do with the fact that there's record unemployment in the United States right now?
	The fact that people are at a level of economic desperation that we have not seen since the Great Recession?
	Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent.
	And so they go out.
	And they need to feed their child, and they don't have money, so you maybe have to, they're put in a position where they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry.
	Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
	Jordan Peterson is one of the most wonderful people, one of the clearest thinkers on earth at this time.
	PragerU video of him on white privilege and this young woman at her university was berated.
	God, do I wish I could have been in on that Zoom call.
	Oh, it's painful to me because I would have known exactly how to answer them.
	I think you need to understand that the left, black left and white left, are dehumanizing blacks, as McWhorter writes.
	This is a theme that you must keep remembering.
	They are literally dehumanizing black.
	They are not people like you and me.
	They are black.
	This is exactly what the white racists would say in the past.
	They're not like everybody else.
	David is another one.
	I want to take you next hour, so don't go away.
	But Joseph in Bolingbrook, Illinois.
	Hi.
	Hey, you there?
	Yeah, it's not easy to hear you.
	Are you speaking through a speakerphone?
	Yeah, how about that?
	Is that better?
	A little better, yeah.
	I came from, you know, what they want to call the white atomic family.
	I'm black, had a black mother, black father.
	Christian, you know, and I was taught right and wrong, regardless of skin color at a young age.
	And I was also told that I was not part of the civil rights movement, so I'm not allowed to play the race card.
	If I didn't get in my way, I couldn't say, oh, it's because I'm black, and take the cop out.
	I had to go handle the situation like any other rational American did.
	And the only way to stop this nightmare coming from the left is for black parents to bring back The atomic family, you know, look at the single motherhood rate in the black community.
	You mean the nuclear family?
	Yeah, the nuclear family.
	Bring it back.
	That's how to fix this.
	Good man.
	Good man.
	He's a 26-year-old black man in Illinois.
	That's all you need to know.
	That's correct.
	But I believe that this is a very effective argument for you to make.
	And cite McWhorter, who's black, in The Atlantic, in a left-wing publication.
	How this whole thing, white fragility and all that stuff, this whole message, literally, that's what I keep telling you, it's not figuratively, it dehumanizes blacks.
	They're not human like the rest of us.
	They're black.
	That's the defining element.
	If you could think of a more dehumanizing notion, tell me, because I cannot.

	Some have said that vaccines can change our DNA, don't get a vaccine, that this can be something that can be used by the government to track us.
	That sounds to me like, you know, tinfoil hat wearing luniness.
	I understand caution with regard to vaccines.
	Would you say that vaccines are something that people can get or do you take a stand against them for medical reasons?
	Well, I'm not supportive of all vaccines, but something like this, if you're an elderly patient or someone at high risk, yes, I believe you probably should get the vaccine if it's been proven to be a benefit.
	But someone young, I don't think it's necessary.
	I'm not an advocate overall for vaccines.
	But we need to make sure that the testing is reliable, the studies are reliable, the results are reliable.
	We're getting a lot of false information from that perspective.
	But the thing is, Eric, you're entitled to good health as a believer in Christ.
	You have to follow the rules and the natural.
	You need to exercise.
	You need to sleep well.
	You need to keep your stress down.
	You need to eat correctly.
	All of these things are going to help you.
	And build your body up so you can go into the battle daily where this virus is all around us.
	If you do that, I believe you'll make a feminist battle victorious.
	We're talking about Dr. Fauci.
	The president has been critical of Dr. Fauci in recent days, and of course, Dr. Fauci has been defended on CNN and MSNB, which I watch so you don't have to.
	I just want to remind you of something Dr. Fauci said as late as March 8 on 60 Minutes.
	Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
	You're sure of it?
	Because people are listening really closely to this.
	Right now, people should not be walking.
	There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.
	When you're in the middle of an outbreak...
	There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.
	And now masks are mandatory.
	Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet.
	But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.
	Now, later on, Dr. Fauci said, well, you know, I said that because I just didn't want people to go out and buy masks because there would be a run-on mask and the health care providers would not be able to have them.
	So I lied!
	He didn't say he lied.
	But that's what he did.
	So, this guy is a respected, probably the guy that people look to.
	And here he is admitting that he lied because he did a cost-benefit analysis and felt it was better for you to presumably expose yourself or not have the defenses that you otherwise would have against the coronavirus because, after all, we don't want you to go out and buy masks when the healthcare providers need them.
	So I lied because it was in your benefit for me to do so.
	But generally speaking, I don't lie.

	Yeah.
	I told you guys yesterday that I had a chat with my old boss, the president, on Sunday.
	I always ring him on Sunday.
	It's so bad.
	But I think if there's any time I can get through to him, it's Sunday.
	So I called him before I went to the gym.
	He calls me back, left a message.
	They couldn't find him.
	He called me back soon thereafter.
	And I had to thank him for something.
	And I'm going to share it with you now.
	I was going to ask my producer to read it.
	But since we have somebody who happens to be the president's attorney in studio, I think I'll get her.
	I've just received this.
	This is from the Office of the Press Secretary to the President of the United States.
	You can ignore the first name listed.
	Why don't you just read that out?

	So, the Office of the Press Secretary, President Donald J. Trump, announces intent to appoint individuals to key administration posts.
	Today, President Donald J. Trump announced his intent to appoint the following individuals to key positions in his administration, including...
	Dr. Sebastian Gorka of Virginia to be a member of the National Security Education Board for a term of four years.
	Yay!
	Congratulations.
	Thank you.
	We kept that quiet.
	We kept that very, very quiet.
	I got approached maybe six weeks ago by the presidential appointments office.
	This is the National Security Education Board that makes sure that the defense, the whole of defense of the United States, the government, national security arena, has what it needs to do.
	do its job is supported by universities, think tanks, and that we have the capacity to understand and defeat our enemies.

	Congressman, I want to ask you about something I've discussed with a few people this morning.
	John Durham is the United States Attorney and has been tasked with investigating the investigators.
	Prosecutors don't typically turn in a report.
	They either indict or don't indict.
	Both Byron York and Tom Cotton argued for a report in this instance if there are any indictments.
	I expect there will be some indictments.
	What is your opinion on this?
	I'm of the opinion that there will be indictments.
	That's what I feel.
	And I think there's two reasons for this.
	There's been too much going into it.
	Durham is an excellent prosecutor, and also the Attorney General has given him a lot of latitude and also help in this investigation, opening up doors in the intelligence community and others.
	What we don't need is another mauler.
	What we don't need is another, you know, this giant report that says, well, we came close.
	I believe there's going to be indictments at some point in this process, and I believe...
	That hopefully they will come soon.
	You see, I do not want to establish a precedent of prosecutors giving us their opinion of when, you know, hand grades and horseshoe close counts.
	I don't like close.
	I think that is dangerous as can be.
	And what we're getting into now with the Comeys of the world and the others, they want to go out and instead of being able to make their case, they just want to plant seeds about.
	This is...
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Hello, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	And I just wanted to thank you on behalf of Sean.
	Sean has asked me to thank all of you who have sent him love notes, knowing that he has struggled through this lockdown.
	That on occasion, his streaming service doesn't work.
	But the little notes have gotten him through.
	Okay, all.
	My friend Larry Elder has been saying for years, we have a country to save.
	And that has never been truer than at this moment.
	I guess, you know, every generation is called, just about every generation is called upon to fight a big fight.
	One was against the German and Japanese fascists.
	One was against the Soviet Union and communism and now leftism.
	And it's up there with the others.
	If you don't realize that, then you don't want to recognize an evil when it's happening.
	People almost never recognize evils while they happen.
	The number of people who dismissed the evil of communism during the Cold War was staggering.
	And now everybody else, Soviet Union, of course it was evil.
	But at the time, people said we were cold warriors.
	We who?
	Call the Soviet Union evil.
	Read, go on Google and ask what was said when Ronald Reagan said the Soviet Union was an evil empire.
	I think there was widespread agreement.
	New York Times dismissed him as a buffoon.
	When a buffoon dismisses you as a buffoon, you're probably not a buffoon.
	So this is the battle that we are called on at this time.
	Really, this is, they use the word existential, but this is the one for the U.S. Last hour, I devoted to John McWhorter, his review.
	He's a black intellectual.
	His review of white fragility.
	And he ends it by saying, all this does is create a new form of racism, which is exactly right.
	The left is racist, so it creates racism, because one of its key messages with regard to blacks is that they're different.
	The very notion, oh, you can't know my life because you're not a black man.
	So you can't...
	I would never say you can't know my life because you're not a Jewish person, a Jewish man.
	It's an absurdity.
	It's just an absurdity.
	You can't know my life because I'm white.
	You can't know my life if you're short.
	I'm tall.
	I'm 6'4".
	You can't know my life if you're short?
	You understand what we're dealing with, the absurdity of it all?
	Skin color renders you a different human that cannot be related to fully.
	You just listen.
	You cannot speak normally.
	Which is what I quoted last hour, a young black man who's at our house very frequently.
	And he was telling me yesterday, he says, you know, A lot of times, he's seen a difference in the way whites relate to him.
	Not whites that he knows, but whites that he will encounter.
	It's stilted.
	The way they talk to him is stilted.
	The only thing they see is that he's black.
	Thank you, the left, for damaging blacks in this way.
	The feminists have damaged women.
	The left has damaged blacks.
	That's the way it works.
	Communists damaged workers.
	Everything they speak in the name of, they screw.
	And the issue for me is that not enough people hear this message, which is why it is possible.
	That the Democrats would win the Senate, or the Democrats would win the House, of course, win the presidency.
	It is just amazing that such a nihilistic ideology, a destructive ideology, could get a majority of American voters.
	Yep, it is what it is, the human condition.
	I am still, however, a drop-shocked because I expected more of my fellow American.
	I didn't expect the sheep-like behavior like with the lockdown.
	See, in a better America, every store would open and all Americans would go shopping.
	That would be a better America.
	Want to wear a mask?
	Wear a mask.
	But everybody would go shopping.
	I'm ambivalent about masks.
	I wear it where I have to.
	I'm not going to make a scene.
	I could play you.
	I probably should.
	I should play you Dr. Fauci saying how useless masks are until all of a sudden masks became useful.
	All right.
	I wanted to take this call here from David in Spartanburg.
	South Carolina.
	Hello, David.
	How are you doing, Dennis?
	I've been better, but I'm fine.
	Thank you.
	Okay, I want to ask you a question since he was talking about Fox.
	You remember the reason why he said he said what he said?
	Because he didn't want everybody to go out and buy a mask because he would be a shortage.
	That's why he...
	I know.
	I heard that nonsense, and I'm sad that you believe it.
	Let me tell you why it's nonsense.
	Then he should have said that.
	Masks work, but you can't use them now because there's a shortage.
	For him to say they're useless...
	I'm sorry?
	The people would have went out buying masks and stuff.
	Everybody was thinking about their own life.
	They wouldn't have thought about no doctors, nothing.
	They would have went out and bought masks, thinking about their own life.
	Okay, so he lied for a good cause.
	Okay.
	That's not why you called.
	Tell me why you called.
	Okay.
	You said earlier that, and I want to know exactly, you said that, are you saying that you don't have to walk in a black man's shoes to know how he feels?
	That's correct, yes.
	Is that what you're saying?
	No, no, no, no.
	You never know how a person feels.
	You don't know how another black person feels.
	So it's an absurd statement.
	Not yours, because everybody's making it.
	But I don't believe you have to be black to know a black person.
	You don't have to be white to know me.
	You don't have to be Jewish to know me.
	Why do I have to be black to know you?
	Okay.
	To know what I'm going through.
	No, that's not true.
	You can tell me.
	You can tell me.
	You don't know what I'm going through.
	I know it, but you've got to be black to know exactly what the black race as a whole is going through.
	I don't believe that.
	Let me break it down to you then.
	Yeah, okay.
	In the black race, you've got different class.
	You've got the upper class, you've got the middle class, and you've got those who are in poverty.
	So if you want to know how those in poverty feel, Then all you got to do, for example, you, Mike Gallagher, you got that right there, Larry Elder, go into a black neighborhood where they're in poverty, live off the income that those who are in poverty are living off of, and then you will know what they're going through.
	That's how you do with this money.
	It's about the money now, when we're talking about money.
	So wait, do I know how a black who's in the middle class lives?
	You just changed the subject.
	You changed the subject from race to class.
	Yes, it's going to go to class.
	I told you those in poverty, it's going to go back to class.
	It's going to go back to class.
	Alright, listen, thanks for calling.
	I'm glad you did.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	1-8 Prager 776. The teachers unions, that's another perfect example of the left.

	Didn't nobody donate to us the right to vote?
	Who's your house nigga?
	I didn't call you a nigga.
	Oh, okay, that's a big difference.

	Most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent, free thinkers.
	I believe the legacy and the ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day.
	I will not pretend to be a victim in this country.
	I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable.
	Racist.
	Racist.
	Racial.
	Racist.
	Racism.
	A thousand cuts of racism.
	The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
	I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
	.
	I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
	The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
	It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of black Americans.
	We're brainwashed to think, is it because I'm black?
	America's not ours, so we got shipped here.
	No.
	Our blood is on this soil.
	We own this too.
	There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great black men and women.
	Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
	So long as black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.

	That's what started me on my lifelong love of names, including making up some names.
	Gervant was a good one.
	I looked that up.
	What was the one?
	Oh, yes, you know what?
	I haven't used in now a couple of years.
	I not only have made up names, I've made up words.
	So the one that I made up on the show is Neftigent.
	So I would say on occasion, you know, that coal was really neftigent.
	And then people would think, yeah, it really was neftigent.
	And others would think, what the hell is neftigent?
	The healthier response is, what the hell is neftigent?
	When I was at college, That was much of the reading that I did.
	What the hell is this professor talking about?
	I knew that he was using the word neftigent, in effect.
	That was neftigent.
	Neftigent, I will now give it a definition.
	Words that sound like they mean something, but do not.
	Because we don't have an English word for that, right?
	We do now.
	That is exactly right.
	My brother's a doctor, and many years ago, I told him I had a cladurcus on my arm.
	He said, what's that?
	I said, I don't know, this thing, you know, little skin thing.
	He said, you mean a skin tag?
	And then he said, I think cladurcus is a better word.
	And I am going to introduce that into the medical profession.
	I mean, think about it.
	Cladurcus or skin tag?
	Skin tag.
	Ugh.
	Cladurcus.
	It's almost neftigent.
	So listen to this from the LA Teachers Union.
	They won't go back to class.
	They have given a series of conditions to resume teaching.
	I told you, the contempt that the Teachers Union has for the parents of students and students is immeasurable.
	Their desire to teach your children.
	The teachers union has a left-wing agenda that does not include teaching your children well or teaching them at all now.
	They won't go back to teaching in L.A., which is one reason you should pull your kids out of school in L.A. That'll work.
	There was no question they will go back to teaching then because they get paid based on the number of suckers who go into the L.A. Unified School District.
	Medicare for all 500 million...
	What?
	No, I can't believe it.
	$500 billion in direct pay.
	The union lays out an extensive list as the Wall Street Journal of safety requirements that go well beyond federal guidelines.
	But the union also explains in a research paper that the pandemic has highlighted the country's quote, Profoundly racist, intensely unequal society, unquote, and says it refuses to return to a, quote, normal that wasn't working.
	It wasn't working.
	This is the left's view of America.
	It's just, it's not working.
	Yes.
	I guess they don't agree with Lincoln that it's the last best hope on earth.
	According to the Union, a country that, quote, leads the world in number of billionaires per capita energy consumption.
	Oh, that's a real vile thing.
	We lead the world in per capita energy consumption.
	I told you, they don't like when people enjoy their lives.
	There is no happy leftist.
	There are happy liberals, unhappy liberals, happy conservatives, unhappy conservatives.
	All leftists are bitter.
	So they don't want you to be happy.
	You like your car?
	Screw you, man.
	Get into a train.
	You like your air conditioning?
	Screw you, man.
	You're using too much energy.
	You want to get out of your house?
	Screw you, man.
	Stay home.
	Okay, let's see here.
	From Washington, the union wants another federal bailout of half a trillion dollars this year for K-12 schools and state and local governments.
	The previous bill gave education $30 billion.
	That's how they want more money.
	Of course they do.
	Why not?
	Who doesn't want more money?
	It also wants Medicare for All to combat the, quote, boundless greed of the for-profit health industry.
	Boundless greed.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	This is neftigent perfectly.
	I really do want to introduce the word now.
	Pablum is as close as you can get, I guess, to an existing word to neftigent.
	Word salad, that's a good one too.
	I agree with that.
	But salad is yummy.
	Salad has nutrition.
	Something neftigent is not.
	Otherwise, salad would be neftigent.
	Okay, we continue here.
	Boundless greed of the for-profit health industry.
	Ladies and gentlemen, as I have said for many years, Why is it not beautiful that people make money curing people of their illnesses?
	Where do you get excellence where people do not make a profit?
	Let's think about that.
	I'm serious.
	Can any of you think, and this is a very serious question, it's not a rhetorical question, can you think of an area where excellence is produced But there is no profit in it.
	Sports, obviously not.
	You have excellence in sports because there's a profit in it.
	If I really do well playing third base, I will make more money.
	Let's see.
	I mean, teachers get paid for profit, right?
	Teachers make a profit teaching.
	Lawyers make a profit being a lawyer.
	Everybody who makes anything that people find useful, whether it is a smartphone or anything else, there was a profit in it in the people who made it.
	So what they're saying is there's a profit in food.
	What about the boundless greed of food producers?
	Think about that.
	So the only area where people should not make a profit, but it will still be excellent, Is healthcare.

	Dennis Prager here.
	Reading to you what the...
	School Teachers Union, second largest in the country, the LA Unified School District, their demands before they go back to teaching, they should be fired.
	If you're a teacher and you do not dissent from this, then you are part of the movement not to teach children in Los Angeles.
	Okay?
	You are not a friend of children and should be so declared.
	They want vast sums of money.
	They want defunding the police.
	How do you like that?
	The union demands that local officials defund the police and reorient that money to education.
	So you understand?
	They don't give a damn about your children, the school teachers of LA. Do you understand that?
	At least any of them that support the union.
	It's all a fraud.
	The whole left is a fraud.
	They use women.
	They use blacks.
	They use schoolchildren.
	They use people to get power and money.
	It's mind-boggling that people fall in for this stuff.
	This is so naked.
	It's amazing that they have the chutzpah, but who's going to call them out on it?
	Talk Radio?
	Fox?
	Wall Street Journal?
	And the many fine...
	People on the conservative side?
	The LA Times?
	I wonder if the LA Times agrees with them.
	I've got to check that out.
	Be very curious, because this is really obvious that they don't give a damn about your kids.
	I mean that literally.
	I don't speak in hyperbolic terms.
	And of course they want a moratorium on privately operated, publicly funded charter schools.
	As the Wall Street Journal editorial ends, by now you may be getting the idea that the union really doesn't want its members to return to work.
	That's right.
	The school teachers' union in Los Angeles does not want the teachers to return to work teaching kids.
	That is correct.
	Or they're using the pandemic as leverage to extort more money from taxpayers that they couldn't get otherwise.
	Either way, It's a demonstration of how far left the nation's public unions have moved.
	Thank you, John F. Kennedy, who started the notion that public government workers could unionize.
	They're still a self-serving guild, but they're also a political vanguard for left-wing ideological causes.
	Plus, PragerU videos.
	That will be a wonderful thing for them.
	Obviously, if they're in elementary school, they won't follow all of them.
	I agree with that.
	High school kids would.
	Anyway, you've got to get them into homeschooling.
	You don't have to be the teachers.
	I mean, you have to spend some time, but you can...
	Join with other people who are homeschooling their kids.
	And I've got to give you more help in doing that because I don't know enough about the whole system.
	I know many people who have homeschooled their kids.
	Their kids are fantastic.
	1-8 Prager 776. 877-243-7776, Atlanta, Georgia, Wendell.
	Hello, Wendell.
	Hey, Dennis, how are you?
	Okay, thank you.
	Good.
	You know, I kind of hesitate to even bring it up because I'm so disgusted with this victim mentality that pervades the black community.
	I am black, but I will say this, that growing up and Growing up and going into stores, when you went to stores like maybe convenience stores or even department stores, most black kids feel like they're being watched.
	Most of them.
	And I think that it does come from...
	See, my son runs.
	He used to run everywhere that he went.
	And he ran out of a convenience store one time, you know, because he was a young kid and he just liked to run.
	They just run.
	And the guy ran out behind him as if he had stolen something.
	And, you know, my wife was there.
	I wasn't there, and I'm glad I wasn't.
	But...
	All right, hold on, Wendell.
	Hold on, Wendell.
	I'll tell you right now, I'm going to ask you if you think the storekeeper's reaction was irrational, and B, would a black store owner have reacted differently?
	So you have a few minutes to...
	I'm all that over.
	So please stay on with me.

	Live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show. - A lot of us are confused about what to make of the current situation, generally speaking, much less medically.
	But medically speaking, what do you as a medical doctor have to say about it that we might not know?
	Well, let me tell you about this virus.
	This is a new virus.
	It's a new presentation to our bodies.
	It came out of China.
	Was it man-made?
	I don't know.
	Was it from a bat?
	We don't know.
	We're not clear on that.
	But this virus is new to human beings.
	And because it is new, we have no way of defending ourselves.
	We don't have built-in immunity to fight the virus.
	That's why it's causing havoc around the world.
	That's why it's so contagious.
	And in fact, this virus is different than other viruses because it's a crone, it's a round sphere, and it has these deadly spikes on it.
	That attach to the endothelium of our lungs, our nasal passages, and it locks in like a fish hook and it sticks.
	And when that happens, it causes havoc.
	So what can we do to prevent this?
	The first thing is that we need to maintain stability in our mind because fear is not going to win this battle.
	And we need to know that...
	For the most part, most people will do very well even if they get this virus.
	The people that do poorly are those that are already chronically sick, the elderly, those that are in dialysis units, those that are already immunocompromised, nursing homes.
	That's a small part of the population.
	But in general, most people will do very well except for those at a higher risk.

	There's no reason to get all bent out of shape because professional sports are changing names of mascots.
	Who cares?
	Really.
	Put your money where your mouth is and go vote.
	Go vote.
	Vote out the party that you believe is pushing the destructiveness upon this country.
	The lawlessness.
	Please tell me.
	I want to know.
	Are you mad about the Washington Redskins abolishing their own team mascot?
	I mean, here's the headline in the New York Post.
	Washington Redskins officially retiring the nickname that is considered by many to be a racist slur.
	Many people sit around saying, oh yeah, it's racist.
	The Redskins?
	Listen, you know the Fighting Irish and Notre Dame are next.
	What's with the Buccaneers?
	Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
	Pirates that raped and pillaged?
	You know how bad the Pirates were?
	You gotta get rid of the Buccaneers.
	That's all.
	All right, y'all.
	I want to go back to my caller.
	I'm Dennis Prager, Wendell, in Atlanta.
	Let me just summarize where we're at, Wendell, for everybody.
	You began by saying that you're tired as a black man of all this self-victimization stuff going on.
	I salute you for that.
	But still, you wanted me and others, and obviously the listeners, to know...
	That there are aspects of black life that are sort of unique to black life, and you gave the example of being watched when you were younger, and your son being watched in stores, and then because he loved running, he ran out of a store once, and he was chased by the owner.
	So I left you with two questions.
	Was the owner's reaction irrational, and would a black owner have reacted differently?
	I don't necessarily think that the owner's reaction was irrational because it is something that a lot of young kids will do.
	They'll pick stuff up and run out of the store.
	Being young, they know they can kind of run faster than most grown-ups can, so that is something that kids do.
	Now, concerning another black store owner.
	It's something that we, as black people, admit to each other, that we don't normally admit it to white people.
	But we know, as black people, that we treat each other worse than we treat other people.
	As black people, we know this.
	We actually do treat each other worse, and we share that among, we talk about it among ourselves.
	Now, I remember you once saying that...
	Some school system was considering allowing black teachers to teach black kids.
	Immediately I knew that would be a horrible mistake because black people don't respect black people as much as they respect other races.
	So I'm not sure that a black store owner would have reacted any differently than the guy reacted.
	But it is still something that we...
	I'm older now, and I don't go in the stores much, but I'm not sure that even at this stage in my life that I wouldn't kind of feel I would be overly conscious of that.
	I'm not sure.
	I probably would still feel, be a little bit conscious of somebody watching me, knowing that I wouldn't steal anything.
	I believe it may be still in me to some degree.
	Okay.
	So fine.
	I buy that.
	But what's the upshot?
	Well, it's not something that I think would even make a difference in my life or shouldn't make a difference in any other black person's life because your opinion should be based on what you think about yourself.
	Rather than what somebody else think about you.
	So, I think it's kind of irrelevant.
	But the point is, I do think it's something that maybe blacks make experience to a larger degree than...
	Correct.
	You're right.
	But I don't think...
	Yes, I agree with you.
	But it doesn't matter.
	You have no idea what it is like to be a Jew.
	And to see a swastika or a Holocaust film, or to have some distant relatives as I have who were killed in the Holocaust.
	So what?
	I don't know what it is like to be a woman and harassed by men.
	The I don't know is...
	I don't know what it's like to have a child who has died.
	I think I can imagine the pain.
	I mean, I don't know what it's like to have a terrible disease.
	Every human has something that other humans or many other humans don't have.
	So what?
	There's a very important call, by the way.
	I'm not dismissing your call in any way, shape, or form.
	Just this notion, you can't know blacks because you haven't walked in their shoes.
	It is, as McWhorter pointed out, it's dehumanizing.
	We're not like other people.
	The damage the left has done to blacks has only exceeded.
	By the damage it's doing to America.
	It's all stupid as well as vile.
	You can't know a man.
	Like, I mean, hearing that, I don't have any capacity to understand what that is like.
	Do I fully understand it?
	I have argued all the time.
	Absolute empathy is not possible.
	It is not possible.
	If a woman tells me she was raped, I can sympathize, I can even cry, I can be horrified, but I can't fully empathize.
	Of course not.
	So therefore what?
	So, therefore, if you married a woman and she had been raped prior to your marriage, you can't know her?
	Yes, it's a very good point.
	The narrative is paralyzing.
	It's a very good point from Triple G. Why bother even having a dialogue?
	Hey, I'm unknowable.
	And that's what is going to happen.
	There's no doubt in my mind there will be less dialogue.
	Except between, you know, current friends.
	In general, there will be less dialogue between whites and blacks.
	Thanks to the D'Angelo's of the world.
	After calling her book a new form of racism, John McWhorter does say she has good intentions.
	I don't believe that.
	But I don't care.
	I don't happen to believe it, but exactly.
	Good intentions are useless.
	Wisdom is everything.

	And New York City's crime is skyrocketing.
	Listen to what this brilliant, progressive, this smart, charismatic, bubbly, far-left, radical, progressive congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had to say over the weekend about rising crime and why it's happening.
	Get ready, because this is a doozy.
	So why is this uptick in crime happening?
	Well, let's think about it.
	Do we think this has to do with the fact that there's record unemployment in the United States right now?
	The fact that people are at a level of economic desperation that we have not seen since the Great Recession?
	Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent and so they go out and they need to feed their child and they don't have money so you Maybe they're put in a position where they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry that night.
	Maybe it's the fact that unemployment provisions have not been given to everyone.
	Maybe it's because of the fact that some people still haven't gotten their stimulus checks yet.
	Tell me you've ever hurt a stupider person in public life in your life.
	I dare you.
	Maybe people are hungry and they need to steal a loaf of bread.
	You know, like Jean Valjean from Les Miserables, the Victor Hugo novel.
	That's all it, because he was a good man.
	And all he did was steal a loaf of bread.
	So when you slaughter a one-year-old who's at a cookout, or you kill somebody when you're shooting people, and you just want to steal a loaf of bread.
	A lot of us are confused about what to make of the current situation, generally speaking, much less medically.

	If the ones that introduce terms all the time, like white privilege, then I can introduce a word, neftigent.
	So, his first question was how to spell it.
	It's N-E-F-T-I-G-E-N-T. And here it is.
	A word, a word, phrase, or concept that sounds important but means nothing.
	In other words, every one of you who went to college got a B.A. in Neftigence.
	Miriam, a teacher in Los Angeles.
	My condolences.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis Prager.
	Hi.
	I just want you to know that not everyone walks lockstep with the union.
	I voted no recently.
	My daughter's a teacher in San Francisco.
	She's a conservative.
	We were at your recent, well, a few months back when you had...
	A gathering in Woodland Hills, and you were signing your Genesis book, Bible, and we each bought a copy and we each had you sign it.
	So I just want you to know that conservatives are a minority in the union, but we're there.
	A lot of teachers there, well, the ones I work with are devout Catholics, and they struggle with things the union says and does.
	Right.
	What percentage of your fellow teachers agree with these demands before going back to teach?
	Too many.
	I haven't spoken with them individually, but I think they just, like I said earlier, they walk lockstep.
	But Dennis, I wanted to encourage you to do this.
	I wanted you to say, make a Prager University with a video clip.
	With your concerns with what our huge union is doing.
	I will share it at my school.
	We have a teacher's union video.
	We do, we do.
	I don't know the name because I can't memorize 400. We do.
	Please check it out.
	God bless you, Miriam.
	That's why I began my conversation with her with my condolences.
	Teacher's unions versus students, yes.
	And why teachers unions don't want school choice.
	There you go.
	We're trying to fill, we're trying to fill every intellectual hole with a video.
	We didn't even miss during the lockdown.
	There's still a lockdown.
	I don't know why that's okay.
