	Because she supports the president.
	Saying to a parent, F you.
	Is that foreign to you?
	Foreign doesn't even...
	You see, that's the thing.
	It's so incredible to me to curse a parent Of course, all of this is considered white values, I guess, or bourgeois middle-class values, or the worst, Judeo-Christian.
	There should be a demonstration.
	Thousands of clergy, Catholic, Protestant, Jew, warmen, Thousands should be gathered somewhere.
	Or just write a petition and sign it.
	We want to remind Americans that there is a God who said, "Thou shalt not steal." AOC is the antithesis of that belief.
	She justifies the stealing, the looting, the smashing.
	I don't know if she justifies the smashing, but how do you loot if you don't smash?
	You get a key, you get a master key.
	Oh, can't say master key.
	By the way, all of these things prove to me how little racism there is in America.
	Oh, master bedroom, that's racist.
	Uncle Ben, that's racist.
	Washington Redskins, that's racist.
	See, American Indians don't think it's racist.
	Only the media do.
	The media have told Americans what to think, and they have accepted it.
	Or so the polls say, there is only one way to stop the undoing of the American Revolution and the undoing of America.
	There is only one way right now.
	And that is to re-elect this president.
	Whatever you think of him is irrelevant.
	He is not the issue.
	America is the issue.
	That people cannot rise above their dislike of the president and understand that the left's aims under Biden, Biden is simply a facade for Bernie Sanders and AOC and the rest.
	The left runs the Democratic Party.
	Biden is a figurehead.
	Victor Davis Hanson theorizes that they will just gradually remove him from office with great honor.
	If he is elected.
	How do kids say that?
	I know how.
	There is no thou shalt or thou shalt not anymore.
	So what the left has filled the void.
	Thou shalt be anti-racist.
	We have a new Ten Commandments.
	Thou shalt loathe America.
	Thou shalt divide people by race, gender, and...
	What is it?
	Race, gender, and class.
	Yes, race, gender, class.
	That's the new trinity.
	What is happening to conservative students on campuses?
	We're going to invite this young woman from Syracuse University.
	Syracuse University?
	This is not NYU. This is Syracuse.
	What was the proof that I had?
	Well, I offered yesterday a proof about how...
	Profoundly.
	Oh yes, the Redskins issue.
	The Redskins poll.
	You know who overwhelmingly more supported the name change?
	The youngest Americans.
	The indoctrination has taken effect.
	You cannot send your kid to a regular school.
	Here's more proof.
	Washington Free Beacon.
	Virginia urges slavery lessons for kindergartners.
	Virginia kindergarten students will learn about institutional racism alongside the alphabet according to the new curriculum recommendations created for the upcoming school year.
	Loudoun County is adding social justice to the mission of teaching elementary school students reading, writing, and arithmetic.
	The Washington, D.C. suburb, the richest county in the country.
	Did you read this article?
	It gets worse.
	I'm Dennis Prager and I'm tired of being censored by the liberal tech giants.
	So I'm taking a different approach using Squad Pod, a team communication and collaboration app for businesses, sales teams, schools and churches.
	It has everything I need.
	Chat, video calls, with screen sharing, file storage, etc.
	Plus, it's 100% private, non-discoverable, and American-made, owned and operated.
	It's time you take back your privacy, intellectual property, and write to free speech with SquadPod.
	At every turn, it seems like there are more unanswered questions and few honest explanations about why so many of our liberties are under attack.
	Why are so many bright people teaching me nonsense?
	Some of the scenes of violent protests are just amazing.
	They're irrational evil.
	Dennis Prager and Dr. Wayne Grudem confront the toughest social issues we face today, explained through historical, political, and never-before-told personal stories.
	More rabbis, priests and ministers fear the left and fear God.
	When you stand before God at the final judgment, what will you say to him about how you voted on abortion laws?
	The Larry Alder Show Steve is in Portland, Oregon's
	Steve, you're on the Larry Elder Show.
	Hello, Larry.
	Thank you for taking my call, sir.
	I appreciate it.
	I don't know if you were briefed by the producer, but I am in fact...
	Yeah, I was told that you're a cop with Portland.
	You know, one of my best friends is your number two guy, Charlie Wiggins, and I understand he's more popular than your chief.
	Is he?
	I would say so.
	I mean, as far as I'm concerned, anyone who's wearing the blue is popular, but yeah.
	Steve, I just made up that name.
	There's nobody named Charlie Wiggins who's your number two guy.
	You're lying.
	Apologize for faking a cop.
	Apologize.
	All the men and women in blue out there busting their butts, sacrificing for really real good people, and you're playing one?
	A fake cop?
	Apologize.
	That's like playing a fake soldier.
	Apologize.
	I'm also a soldier.
	Apologize.
	Punk.
	I heard him on somebody else's show saying he was a cop in Jacksonville, Florida.
	Calling my show saying you're a cop in Portland.
	No, Steve, you're a punk.
	Oh, he hung up.
	We have a development in the phone call I just had with the gentleman who played a fake cop claiming that he was a cop from Portland.
	Mr. Christian, what happened?
	Well, Officer Steve, he called back and Officer Steve said...
	Kudos to you, Larry, because he calls all the shows on the network and all around, and he's gotten a lot of people, and he said that was the best anyone got him.
	He spanked him.
	Yeah, well, thank you, Larry Elder.
	Well, as Mr. McConnell said, I was born at night, but I wasn't born at night.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Kuerke.
	I'm going to go.
	The Vice President of the Heritage Foundation for All Matters Defense and Foreign Affairs.
	He is Jim Carrafano.
	Follow him at JJ Carrafano.
	But we could just spend the whole time talking about 80s movies like Krull.
	Yeah, we could.
	But it's fun, isn't it?
	That's what we've been doing since you came in.
	You know, actually, almost every movie probably has a link to contemporary foreign policy that we could spin out.
	We'll find it.
	We'll spin it in.
	We'll spin it in.
	Who are the slayers?
	The evil slayers from Kral today?
	Is that the people's army of China?
	That's the Chinese.
	So we have a whole slew.
	We have about 20 movie posters here.
	Understanding American history is more...
	Understanding American history is more important than ever.
	In this week's PragerU video, Ben Shapiro explains how the English thinker John Locke made a profound impression on the Founding Fathers.
	See it at PragerU.com where we teach what isn't taught.
	All right, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Let me just read this.
	I've got a full line.
	I know you have a lot to say, folks.
	And I actually find it invaluable to speak with you.
	Loudoun County in Virginia, outside of Washington, D.C., is adding social justice to the mission of teaching elementary school students.
	The Washington, D.C. suburb is the richest county in the country.
	I love when people still have this, oh, the wealthier Republicans.
	The people, they don't care about truth, so it is what it is.
	This is the worst.
	Are you ready?
	This is going to bother you.
	Who do you think they've teamed up with at Loudoun County to make the curriculum for kindergartners about social justice?
	It's worse.
	The Southern Poverty Law Center.
	A hate group.
	Loudoun County has aligned itself with a left-wing hate group.
	We have a video on them at PragerU.
	But you know what is amazing?
	There's no such thing to the left, or to liberals even, as a left-wing hate group.
	Only right-wing hate group.
	Who are they, by the way?
	Is there a right-wing hate group that is anywhere as large as the ACLU or the Southern Poverty Law Center?
	Can you name one?
	I can't.
	Has teamed up with the Southern Poverty Law Center's education arm, Teaching Tolerance.
	Oh my God, it is Orwellian.
	The thought that the left would have a curriculum called Teach Tolerance.
	Teach tolerance of all views you agree with.
	The proposed lesson plan recommends restructuring history and social studies classes to emphasize slavery as fundamental to American society for students from kindergarten to the fifth grade.
	See, this is again one of my proofs.
	This is the return to the preoccupation with slavery.
	It is an astonishing thing.
	Wow.
	Because there's so little racism today, so you have to be preoccupied with slavery.
	Sugarcoating or ignoring slavery until later grades makes students more upset.
	Get that?
	Or even resistant to true stories about American history, the documents say.
	Long before we teach algebra, we teach its component parts.
	We should structure history instruction the same way.
	See, the component parts of America is slavery.
	Following parent complaints, a district spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon on Monday that the changes are optional.
	The teaching tolerance resources are optional.
	Spokesman Rob Doolittle said.
	Parents who have queried LCPS. What's LCPS? I guess Loudoun County Public School.
	About these resources have been informed that they are optional.
	They have a teacher who speaks anonymously and teaches the lower grades.
	What they're really trying to do is divide people as early as they can, starting now with kindergartners.
	They're really going to be inciting hate, the teacher said.
	They're pointing out that there's whiteness and blackness, and that's crazy.
	Now it's evil.
	The guide encourages educators to create opportunities for kindergarten, first and second grade students.
	To learn about, quote, activism and action civics.
	Students should study examples of role models from the past and present and ask themselves, how can I make a difference, the guide says.
	These conversations about slavery should lead into discussion about current injustices, particularly those that continue to disenfranchise and oppress the descendants of enslaved people.
	And possibilities for activism and reform.
	Will they have the time to do that in between drag queen story hour?
	You send your kindergartner, you send a kid of any grade to a regular school in the United States.
	Don't be surprised if when they're 25 they go, F you.
	Just understand that.
	Unless you hate America too, in which case they will embrace you.
	They're learning to hate the country.
	The public school was created to make Americans.
	It is now there to make anti-American.
	Wow.
	The United States...
	The United Soviet States of America.
	USSA. God, the people who came here from communist countries, if they're not going out of their minds, then they've probably started to drink.
	You come to America for liberty, you've escaped the hell of communism, and you see communists taking over America.
	I knew that the left wanted to destroy this country, The widespread acceptance of it has even taken me aback.
	You must fight.
	That's the point.
	You must fight.
	Dan in Minneapolis.
	Happy city.
	Hello, Dan.
	Dennis, hi.
	Hi.
	I put my phone down.
	How's your back?
	I prayed for you quite a while ago when you hurt your back.
	Well, your prayers worked.
	Thank you.
	Good.
	Anyway, yeah, I had a comment about taking a meal.
	And I just, recently we were, I was in a protest, fourth anniversary of the murder and flood of Castile.
	I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not familiar.
	You took part in a protest, is that what you said?
	Yes, yes.
	And the protest was, I'm sorry, forgive me, the protest was with regard to what?
	The force.
	Anniversary of Philando Castile's murder by the police?
	Okay, I'm not familiar with it.
	Okay, go ahead.
	Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that a lot of people, and I did this time, who take a meal, are against America.
	It's not against America.
	It's a protest against police brutality.
	That's why we do it.
	I love our country.
	Well, I'm happy to hear that, and I'm totally serious.
	When it is done during the national anthem, it is a statement that I won't stand for that flag.
	flag.
	I just don't see any other interpretation.

	Jim was just looking at them.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I mean...
	I don't know if you've seen this video.
	I don't think it's actually new.
	Which one?
	Yes, everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	An extraordinary American is Charlie Kirk, founder and president of Turning Point USA, and he's leading a campaign called Divest You.
	He has a video on that subject.
	In fact, at PragerU, Charlie, great to be with you.
	Dennis, great to be here.
	God bless you.
	Thank you.
	Where are you right now?
	I am in Phoenix, Arizona right now, thankfully stationary, and for a couple days, and just have been overseeing and managing this project that's been about a week.
	We released it last Tuesday, Wednesday, and I'll tell you, Dennis, this was inspired largely by you.
	I was at one of your speeches where it might have been at a TPUSA event where you said conservatives should no longer be funding their alma mater.
	And I did a video for PragerU on that subject.
	And I remember you said it would be better if conservative donors burned their money than actually gave it to the college they went to.
	And it's been incredible, Dennis.
	In one week, we have successfully divested $19 million from higher education.
	Of donors that decommitted and pulled their gifts.
	It's been incredible.
	How do you know that?
	We've worked with these donors to do it.
	So we have had an outpouring amount of response.
	We started with about $6 million in decommitted gifts of some of our donors that pulled their money from Harvard and Yale and University of Southern California.
	And I got a call this last Sunday from a donor who pulled a $7 million gift.
	$7 million gift from a small school in New Jersey.
	And the outpouring amount of support is amazing, Dennis.
	And our argument is that conservatives have a moral obligation to withdraw their money from these institutions.
	If you're worried about the country in perpetual decline as you kind of see it right now, then why would you put your hard-earned dollars and resources towards the institution that is contributing to that decline more so than any other?
	This is encouraging, but the sums are beyond belief.
	Berkeley received a billion dollars last year.
	One school.
	How is that possible?
	One school.
	I find that amazing.
	Well, and the idea that these are tax-free entities that endlessly are able to raise tuition, teach our kids to hate our country, And then continue to grow their asset pool as if they are a New York City-based hedge fund is incomprehensible to me.
	And I looked at that document from Berkeley.
	They are bragging that in one year, one fiscal year, they expanded their assets by $1 billion.
	Mind you, while also continuing to have their students go endlessly into debt.
	That they can learn how awful of a country that we live in.
	And that's just Berkeley.
	I mean, Harvard has a $40 billion-plus endowment.
	University of Texas Austin has a $30 billion-plus endowment.
	Stanford has a $25 billion-plus endowment.
	And at what point will conservative donors in particular say, they don't need my money, and even worse than that, they're using my money to train the next generation of left-wing activists?
	That's why I said, and I'm very touched that I triggered this idea, and I did not know that.
	I'm very touched, and I thank you.
	If there's anybody I would like to touch, it's you, because you then run with it and organize massive activity on its behalf.
	You are right.
	I want to just explain to my listeners the burning line.
	If you burned a million dollars, Then a million dollars is gone, but it's not being used harmfully.
	But if you give money to 95% of the colleges of this country, it is being used harmfully.
	They will raise more angry, unhappy, bitter, anti-American people.
	So and then then parents wonder what happened to my child?
	Well, why did you give a hundred thousand dollars to XYZ University?
	That's exactly right and Dennis the one thing about burning the money at least you get the utility of a short-term spurt of warmth Unlike if you give it to university, it does nothing of a utility.
	And I say that, of course, you know, sarcastically.
	No, no, it's not sarcastic.
	You really got it, my friend.
	All right, so I want to hear what people should do.
	Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA and the new movement Divest You.
	You should see his five-minute video at PragerU on the subject.
	Gentlemen?
	It is relief factor that I want to talk to you about.
	There are some puzzles in my life.
	One is, why did God make the mosquito?
	That's up there.
	Another one is, why if you could afford 20 buckaroos, you wouldn't spend $19.95 for the three-week quick start at the relief factor?
	You'll know within three weeks if it works.
	They put themselves on the line.
	They send it to you for $20.
	I think plus shipping.
	$20.
	And they tell you if it doesn't work in three weeks, it probably won't work.
	Now you have to take it as directed, otherwise it's not fair to you or to Relief Factor.
	That's at relieffactor.com.
	The phone number is 800-583-84 for the three-week.

	Yeah.
	What is this all-pervasive, oppressive cultural whiteness, and how does it affect religion?
	Number one, Christianity.
	Is the norm.
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	Why is that a bad thing?
	Think about that for a second.
	Number two.
	Anything other than Judeo-Christian tradition is foreign.
	And lastly, there is no tolerance in whiteness for deviation from the single God concept.
	Now do you understand?
	Now is it clear why Black Lives Matter, why Antifa tried to burn to the ground, firebomb the Presidential Church of St. John, one block from the White House.
	This isn't about a museum, my friend.
	This isn't about the tens of millions of dollars that come from you and the elites.
	To this truly monstrous architectural carbuncle in front of the Washington Monument.
	It's about destroying the greatest civilization the world has ever seen and America is the embodiment of the greatest experiment in representative Republican democracy.
	It's a war.
	A war for the soul of our nation.

	Hi Kathleen.
	Hey Mike, how are you?
	I am completely, totally opposite of what y'all feel.
	First, there's not a law.
	On the books anywhere that mandates that I have to wear a mask.
	I am a widow of a 24-year Army veteran who is probably turning over in his grave right now because Americans have just given up their freedoms in less than four months.
	If you do go on the CDC site, if you read Go On Down, you will see the cloth mask do little to no good.
	Kathleen, I know.
	We've had this same argument.
	We go round and round and round.
	Hang on, Kathleen.
	Let me just put it to you this way.
	The CDC director said if we all wear masks, we could get this thing under control for six, eight weeks.
	Understanding your cynicism, what if he was right?
	What's it going to be next though, Mike?
	They're going to tell me I can't shop if I don't get the vaccine?
	I'm not asking about hypotheticals or slippery slopes.
	What if the director of the CDC was right?
	What if everybody wearing a mask when you came in contact with other people in public could get this thing under control in four to six or eight weeks?
	What if he's right?
	It's not my job to take care of your health.
	I'm not asking you whose job that...

	Hi, everybody.
	Final question for a very powerful...
	Extraordinary young man.
	Oh yes, one second.
	Charlie, I'll be with you in one second.
	I want to remind everybody quickly about Sierra Pacific, specifically Andrew and Todd.
	The rates for a mortgage now are, unfortunately, ironically, I mean, it's a blessing and a curse.
	It's a blessing if you can get the rate, and it's a curse because we're that low.
	The reasons are not happy ones.
	But you might as well help yourself.
	The financial future of the country and of its citizens is in question.
	So if you're thinking of a refi, a new purchase, cash-out refi, even a reverse mortgage, go to andrewandtodd.com.
	Andrewandtodd.com.
	They are with Sierra Pacific.

	Charlie Kirk is the founder, and he almost has a divine presence at TPUSA. He is the creator.
	You know why?
	Like, you know, I'm not a blasphemer, Charlie.
	He's a big believer in God, as you know.
	But you are a creator.
	Ex nihilo, you made Turning Point USA. Is that correct?
	That is correct, out of nothing.
	And you're very kind, Dennis.
	No, I'm not.
	I am kind, but that's beside...
	Thank you for that statement.
	But I am kind, but it has nothing to do with what I said.
	What I said, I said because I'm telling the truth.
	So how do people get involved in Divest U? So they can go to divestu.com.
	I encourage every person listening to this to do so.
	And by the way, just let me tell, there's a link at dennisprager.com if that's easier for people.
	It doesn't matter to us.
	Either way, go ahead.
	Terrific.
	Great.
	Well, and what we're doing, Dennis, as part of this, is that divestment has long been a tactic of the radical left.
	And Dennis, you've been talking about the dangers of the boycott divestment sanctions movement.
	of the anti-Zionist, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish community here and around the world.
	And they've been very effective.
	Divestment is a tactic that we as conservatives have really stayed away from for probably good reason.
	Divestment just feels very mob-like and, you know, probably not something that we would do otherwise.
	But we are fooling ourselves if we don't see how effective it can be.
	To actually challenge institutions.
	And if there's ever been a time to employ this tactic, especially with money we are voluntarily contributing, it's right now.
	I mean, I look at the major contributors to Stanford and Harvard and Yale and some of these other massive institutions that are so outwardly and brazenly indoctrinating the next generation.
	It is conservative business people.
	Conservative philanthropists that have been writing the $100 million checks, the $10 million checks.
	And just imagine, Dennis, what Prager University and Turning Point USA, if we split it 50-50, could do with the $1 billion that University of California Berkeley got.
	No, we could turn the country around.
	That's correct.
	It is only an issue of more money.
	That is exactly correct for you, for TTP USA, and for PragerU.
	People are worried about the country.
	There's a very real solution.
	Enable such groups to affect more young people.
	That's exactly right.
	And to be able to fight and to be able to point out exactly why our culture is in decline and then educate the next generation as to why our country is decent.
	Benevolent and the least racist, multiracial country ever to exist in the history of the world.
	And Dennis, to just also reinforce something I said earlier, you've been unafraid to talk about this issue for years, and you've given so many people confidence to be able to say that, especially when we have so many weak Republicans that they would do them well to watch a singular PragerU video on why our country is decent.
	Incredibly accepting and welcoming.
	It seems as if they just have no understanding of how to articulate that.
	But with all that being said, Dennis, it's time for conservatives to start to play offense again.
	And at the very least, stop giving the universities what they need.
	They need these multi-billion dollar endowments.
	And I'll tell you, Dennis, outside of the Stanford, Yale, and Harvard, where they're sitting on 20, 30, 40 billion dollars each, where we're seeing this really play a very interesting Well, it's the smaller liberal arts universities that have a $30 million endowment.
	When they lose a $5 million gift, that really sends shockwaves to that institution.
	And so we are really pinpointing a lot of our focus on some of these smaller, even more radical liberal arts institutions.
	And you know, Jack, the type of schools I'm talking about.
	Yeah, like Swarthmore.
	That's right.
	Well, bless you, my friend.
	He's really something.
	He woke up one day as a very young man and said, I'm going to change the next generation.
	And he's working on it.
	When I speak at TPUSA conferences, there are thousands of students there.
	Thousands.
	What do we say?
	PragerU is the Air Force and TPUSA is the Ground Forces.
	Well, not just the Army, the Marines too.
	So we need a third group to be the Navy.
	He's wonderful.
	Please, so the Divest U, either go to DivestU.com or just go through DennisPrager.com.
	When I, I don't think, forget I don't think, there is no parallel.
	Of which I am aware in history, of people spending money to have their children loathe what they stand for.
	It's truly, I have to believe, unprecedented.
	And if they got the message, they would change.
	Our college teaches truth.
	That's all you have to say.

	And I'm looking at a book called The Black Bruins.
	The remarkable lies of UCLA's Jackie Robinson, Woody Strode, Tom Bradley, Kenny Washington, and Ray Bartlett.
	These were all UCLA Bruin football players or athletes at the same time.
	And the book talks about why these athletes chose UCLA. Other schools, such as the University of Southern California, rejected African-American players.
	If the USC Trojans did recruit one, he often sat on the bench, no matter how talented he was.
	So, all these players selected UCLA because they grew up in LA, they lived at home, they wanted to play for a hometown crowd, and the USC Trojans did not want them.
	I mention this because one of the men who attended USC, about whom this book is written, Tom Bradley, became mayor of Los Angeles, was elected four times, ran for governor twice, barely lost.
	Now, did Obama ever experience anything like wanting to go to a school and not even applying because they wouldn't take him in because he's black?
	Arthur Ashe said that he was rejected from playing Junior Davis Cup in Virginia because of racism.
	He couldn't enroll.
	Arthur Ashe.
	What person taking a knee out there trashing and protesting has experienced anything like this?

	That's the short version of it.
	It's a powerful message.
	It just has to be repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated.
	Now, I've noticed Trump can sell anything, right?
	That's what he's done his entire life.
	He's a developer.
	And that's a fun message to sell.
	He can also sell Joe Biden isn't the guy.
	He's run by Bernie and by AOC. And it doesn't get old, but he usually gets a feedback loop from rallies, Zeke Miller.
	And you can't have the rallies right now.
	How much is that handicapping him?
	I think it's hard to overstate how challenging that is the president.
	Personally, we've seen him, how those rallies have animated him, reinvigorated him on the campaign trail.
	They were sort of the lifeblood of that 2016 effort.
	and the extended stretch in which he has not been able to hold campaign rallies through the duration of this crisis has...
	Okay, y'all...
	Thank you.
	Dennis Prager here, and in Pittsburgh, it's Chris.
	Hello, Chris.
	Hey, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Mm-hmm.
	Hey, I parked your screen, and I know you're probably up against a break in a minute.
	I just wanted to say that I love your show.
	I grew up hating politics, but I come from a very conservative family, and I happened to come across your show while I was...
	I'm in a little bit of trouble and serving some time in a state prison, and I absolutely loved the things that I heard, and I've been as much of a loyal listener as I can be ever since.
	First time I ever caught a radio show.
	And what I wanted to tell you, Dennis, was I'm a parent of a six-year-old boy who is out of school.
	Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which I think is absolutely ridiculous because there is a better way to handle that situation in terms of educating our children and still keeping the schools and the staff safe.
	The second thing I wanted to say was even though you might think that I have a disrespect of authority, I actually feel the opposite.
	I think that a small percentage that is bad does not reflect The organization and entities as a whole.
	And I think what's going on in the country, the communities around the country, is sickening and scary.
	And the third thing I wanted to say, because I know I'm unpacking a lot.
	Your screener said the same thing.
	The third thing I wanted to say is I work at a pizza shop, and even though the business is booming with the pandemic and a lot of the closures, one of the things I'm seeing is that...
	We're handing out a lot of extra unemployment money to people like me.
	In fact, I got overpaid and then the Secret Service contacted me and basically advised me don't spend a dime, which I'm fine with because I'm working.
	But one of my co-workers can't even afford to pay her rent.
	And her money through regular unemployment is not being paid.
	And I just think that's very sad and very unfortunate.
	Well, listen, thank you.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	The country should not have been closed down.
	Sweden didn't close down, and they never closed the schools.
	They had one death the last time I looked.
	One death on some day recently.
	They had a higher percentage than the U.S., that is true.
	But they didn't close their society.
	I am happy to hear that you could listen to my show in prison.
	I didn't know that.
	Did you know that?
	Yes.
	My friends, this is all a function of the need to believe in something.
	And we didn't give them America, we didn't give them religion, we didn't give them God, so they got social justice.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	What do you suppose would make it so possible that people could be talking openly about socialism?
	I mean, 10 years ago, nobody was talking openly about socialism.
	At least the Democrats that I know were not talking openly about it.
	What has happened?
	Well, what's happened is it's sort of inevitable.
	It always happens in the 10 to 15 years after a financial crisis.
	If you look back in history, and believe it or not, I have data on 120 years and 800 elections over 20 advanced economies.
	And every time there's a financial crisis in advanced economies, twice a century, basically.
	And the 15 years following that, you get the same kind of dynamics where people start to...
	Question market economies, question the moral and practical basis of capitalism, and you get this populism that we typically see on both left and right in countries all over the world.
	It's not a terrible thing.
	A lot of it's misbegotten.
	The idea that we would become a democratic socialist country, it's a problem.
	Questioning the basis on which we actually treat each other economically, that's a good thing to do because if we forget, then we forget our basic values.
	Remember, economics is downstream from culture.
	This do have to come before markets.
	I mean, most of the people who are watching us today have religious beliefs that tell us that.
	Or at least they're descended from a Judeo-Christian conception of what the best life is made of.
	And a lot of people are very serious practicing Christians.
	And we know, those of us who are Christians, we know that if markets come before morals, everything is upside down and everything will be used to the bad, not for the good.

	Is Joe Biden vulnerable?
	To being leveled in the same way that Dukakis was in 88?
	So it's a little bit different in that Donald Trump is an incumbent president, and George H.W. Bush had an opportunity to introduce himself after eight years as vice president.
	At the same time, it's going to be the same scorched-earth tactics in the election.
	Joe Biden has had an advantage that he's been able to hide out.
	It's almost a conservative talking point, but in this case, I think it's true.
	He's had an advantage in that he's been able to hide out away from crowds and scrutiny.
	He's not terribly nimble, whatever you think is going on.
	And so I think he's going to have a harder time defending himself than a lot of candidates like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton who are very good at returning volleys.
	You know, Zogby came out with a poll, and I'm not a big fan of Zogby, but they asked the question, do you think Joe Biden has dementia?
	And I thought to myself, whoa.
	Okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here. Dennis Prager here.
	you Thank you.
	It is amazing how things you take for granted, you can't.
	Wouldn't you assume, or I'll bet many people did.
	I didn't.
	But I know I was an outlier in this regard.
	You would assume that people...
	Really love freedom.
	But they don't.
	There are a lot of things they want more than freedom.
	They want to be taken care of more than freedom.
	A lot of people want power more than freedom.
	And people want meaning more than freedom.
	And if that which affords them meaning, Removes liberty.
	That's a trade they will make.
	That is the leftist trade.
	We give you meaning.
	You give us liberty.
	That's how it works.
	I have said all of my broadcast career, 35 years.
	A long time.
	That the essence of everything I have to say can be boiled down to consequences of secularism.
	Read my columns about secular conservatives don't understand.
	And they're great.
	They're great people.
	But they don't understand that.
	God we trust is as much part of Americanism as liberty and e pluribus unum.
	We have tried something in this country.
	That has never been tried, ever.
	And that is the uniting of people of every racial, ethnic, and national, and religious background into one identity without people losing whatever other identity they want to keep.
	And maybe it cannot be done.
	That the left says, the left announced Thirty years ago, multiculturalism.
	I attacked it the day they mentioned it.
	I said the whole point of America is multi-ethnic, but unicultural.
	Once it's multicultural, you have lost your country.
	It doesn't mean everyone agrees with one another.
	It's that the basic supposition, we are all Americans, that is sacrosanct.
	When that's destroyed, then the centrifugal forces, I assume that the force is not centripetal, will just send us into various orbits.
	Maybe this experiment cannot work.
	That's what the left is basically announcing.
	They mock the idea of a melting pot.
	I learned the melting pot.
	In a Jewish parochial school.
	An all-day religious school.
	And I learned the melting pot was the American ideal there.
	and acted in a George Washington birthday play.
	That's what the left is saying.
	Your idea of out of many one, Is to be rejected.
	Then the experiment cannot work.
	They say diversity is our strength.
	Another stupid piece of pablum.
	That is neftigent.
	What was your great definition of neftigent?
	A word or a phrase that sounds important.
	A word, phrase or concept that sounds important but means nothing.
	I made up the word and you gave it the definition.
	Neftigent.
	Diversity is our strength.
	Diversity is our strength only, only if from the diversity we all are unified as Americans.
	Otherwise, it's our weakness and our death.
	Diversity is great if we're all American.
	Diversity means the country is over if we're not.
	I'd like to do a poll with young Americans.
	How strongly American do you feel on a scale of 1 to 10?
	Are you first an American or a world citizen?
	Does the flag mean anything to you?
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	What do they think when they are told Americans died for that flag?
	Why would they think they were fools?
	The left would certainly think that.
	What's left?
	They've gotten rid of Columbus Day, Washington's birthday, Lincoln's birthday, Thanksgiving is just, you know, It's really a genocidal holiday, so that's over.
	Christmas has been de-Christianized, certainly, but it's even been demoted to getting Christianity.
	It's not even stated.
	It's a happy holiday.
	What's left?
	Memorial Day means nothing.
	July 4th, to them, is a farce.
	That's not the real date of the founding, 1776. Is there any holiday that's left?
	Martin Luther King Day.
	That's it.
	I guess that's the only one, right?
	It's a pure force of nihilism.
	Portland mayor responds after Trump says city lost control.
	Portland mayor Ted Wheeler said President Donald Trump doesn't have a clue about what's going on in his city.
	That projection, does he know what's going on in his city?
	Wheeler?
	Adding that the Trump administration's tactics in the area are abhorrent.
	Well, the president has a complete misunderstanding of cause and effect, Wheeler said in responding to Trump's Sunday morning tweet about Portland.
	What's happening here is we have dozens, if not hundreds, of federal troops descending upon our city, and what they're doing is they are sharply escalating the situation.
	Their presence here is actually leading to more violence and more vandalism, he continued.
	And it's not helping the situation at all.
	They're not wanted here.
	We haven't asked them here.
	In fact, we want them to leave.
	They are not helping us.
	They are hurting us.
	They're escalating an already dangerous situation.
	And what I want to do is raise awareness nationally.
	This could happen in your city.
	And what we're seeing is a blatant abuse of police tactics by the federal government, by a Trump administration that's failing in the polls, that's falling in the polls, and this is a direct threat to our democracy.
	On Sunday, Trump tweeted, Democrats will destroy our country as we know it.
	There is more truth in that tweet.
	than in the New York Times in any given year.
	Unimaginably bad things would happen in America, he said, if he loses this fall.
	He's right.
	Look at Portland, where the polls are just fine within 50 days.
	Where the P-O-L-S, what does that mean?
	Where the politicians are just fine with 50 days of anarchy.
	We sent in help.
	Look at New York, Chicago, Philadelphia.
	No.
	That's right.
	50 days of anarchy.
	And he blames the government.
	Look, my position has been, let Portland eat itself up.
	You want this mayor?
	You want this regime?
	You want this administration?
	Okie dokie.
	You got it.
	Maybe federal buildings should be guarded.
	That's it.
	But I think that's all he's doing, the president, right?
	I don't think he's going beyond that.
	What produced the people of Portland?
	What is it?
	They're bored.
	They're wealthy.
	They're secular.
	What did I say long ago?
	Secularism plus affluence equals boredom.
	That's correct.
	And then the boredom.
	Of this.
	The COVID lockdown really adds it.

	If you follow Joe Biden's career, he's not.
	Barack Obama or Bill Clinton are one of these overriding intellectuals.

	I don't know.

	A Portland riot organizer gained massive applause after saying their mission is the abolition of the United States as we know it.
	Now, do you believe me?
	And referred to our nation as stolen land.
	Lilith Sinclair could barely contain her excitement.
	At the cheers when she announced herself as an Afro-Indigenous non-binary protest organizer on Friday.
	The chances that Lilith Sinclair is a happy person are less than you're winning the lottery.
	You have a better chance of winning the lottery than she...
	The chance that she is happy.
	It's another one of my theories, right?
	The happy make the world better, the unhappy make it worse.
	You think leftists are happy?
	They're excited when they're rioting and destroying and cursing out America.
	They're not happy.
	Seattle.
	The Fox, not Fox News, but the Fox station there.
	A large group of protesters marching through downtown Seattle Sunday afternoon reportedly threw rocks, bottles, and firecrackers at police, sending at least one officer to the hospital.
	Police say the protesters also looted and damaged downtown businesses.
	Leftist cities.
	It's not happening in Spokane as it's happening in Seattle.

	I have a speech in Montana next month.

	You know, There are 22, what is it, estimated 22 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
	Is that correct?
	And if Joe Biden wins, he has announced he wants to give them all amnesty and a route to citizenship.
	So that's another example of what happens if you vote for the Democrats.
	Because they're interested in, obviously, in the destruction of America as we know it, and in power.
	These people aren't going to vote Republican, so it's a guaranteed permanent victory for them.

	Transcription by CastingWords And I'm looking at a book called The Black Bruins.
	The remarkable lies of UCLA's Jackie Robinson, Woody Strode, Tom Bradley, Kenny Washington, and Ray Bartlett.
	These were all UCLA Bruin football players or athletes at the same time.
	And the book talks about why these athletes chose UCLA. Other schools, such as the University of Southern California, rejected African-American players.
	If the USC Trojans did recruit one, he often sat on the bench, no matter how talented he was.
	So, all these players selected UCLA because they grew up in LA, they lived at home, they wanted to play for a hometown crowd, and the USC Trojans did not want them.
	I mention this because one of the men who attended USC, about whom this book is written, Tom Bradley, became mayor of Los Angeles, was elected four times, ran for governor twice, barely lost.
	Now, did Obama ever experience anything like wanting to go to a school and not even applying because they wouldn't take him in because he's black?

	The Venezuela option.
	Which is, 20 years ago, Venezuela was rich.
	Now they're the most impoverished country in South America.
	It can happen here.
	That's the short version of it.
	It's a powerful message.
	It just has to be repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated.
	Yes, everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	And let's go to Mike in El Segundo, California.
	Hi, Mike.
	Hello, Mike.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Hold on, I put you on hold one second.
	You just made it.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Yes, you were speaking earlier today, as you have on other previous shows, about how the schools and colleges have so alienated parents' children from them Indoctrinating them into being Marxist and hating America and hating their parents who they view as capitalists and for voting for a Republican or Trump.
	And there's two answers I have to that, two things we should all do.
	One is parents who cannot get their children back should, number one, disinherit them and instead get all the money and inheritance to PragerU and maybe to Hellsdale College or other very good conservative organizations.
	And number two, We need to have a whole effort or program to sue the colleges and the schools for alienation of affection because the parents are losing a life investment of money and time in their children.
	They will not have children to take care of them in their older years.
	And it's even worse in a sense than having not even had the children because they've lost the investment and have to live for the rest of their life knowing that the children hate them when there's...
	When there's no good reason to hate someone.
	Did this happen to you?
	No, it did not, thank God.
	I was just curious.
	Okay, okay, thank you.
	You can't, I don't think you can sue a college for alienation of affection.
	I'm sorry?
	Well, you can sue anyone for anything, I know.
	To me, that would be the equivalent of suing a shredding machine for shredding.
	The purpose of college is to have them alienated from America, and therefore from parents who affirm this country's goodness.
	So if you send your kid to college, you can't be shocked at the corrosive effect on their thinking, I mean their ability to think, not just what they think, and on them morally.
	That is how bad it is!
	But I read to you last hour in Virginia, Loudoun County, the richest county in the country, is going to be teaching kindergartners about slavery and social justice.
	Now, why would you send your kids to a school there?
	Other than a handful of charter or religious schools, I don't see any alternative to homeschooling now.
	The schools have become indoctrination into America-loathing, into goodness-loathing.
	It's hard to believe the public school was founded To bring immigrants into the American fold.
	It was founded to make good, patriotic Americans.
	Everything is the antithesis of what it was founded to be.
	That is what we have.
	Alrighty.
	Amy in Los Angeles, hello.
	Dennis, I just have to affirm that everything you say is accurate.
	My daughter goes to Dartmouth College, and she is slowly alienating herself from our conservative ways.
	She's also on their diving team, which they have now permanently eliminated along with Their golf team, their fencing team, their men's rowing team, because they don't have, apparently, the money to support these teams.
	Ask Dartmouth.
	I have a different view.
	Yes, I want to hear your view.
	But I would ask, forgive me, I'm keeping you on.
	I just, I want your view.
	I took your call.
	But I would like to know what Dartmouth is spending on administrators of diversity.
	That's what I would like to know.
	And what is more valuable, a fencing team or another vice provost of diversity and inclusion?
	The answer is a fencing team.
	In fact, what is more important?
	A checkers team or a marbles team than a vice provost of diversity and inclusion.
	All right.

	Along with nine other teams.
	Right, with all these fencing teams and others.
	But you called to tell me what?
	What is the point you wanted to make?
	First of all, to tell you that everything you say about sending your kids to college is absolutely accurate.
	She's now been indoctrinated into all this left-wing hysteria and won't even listen to, you know, she's alienating, slowly removing herself from communicating with me because I try to speak common sense to her.
	I'm sorry, are you married?
	Yes.
	So is your husband on board with you or her?
	Well, he kind of toes the line.
	He loves you.
	I try to get him to listen to you kind of as often as I can, but he's busy working, doesn't have much time, but when he does, he says, yeah, he makes a lot of sense.

	So how are your relations now?
	She is gone for the summer working I'm Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, and I'm happy about that because having her here underfoot is challenging because she's spewing her right-wing dogma constantly, and she believes it.
	And she's been indoctrinated in high school.
	You said right wing.
	I mean left wing.
	I'm sorry.
	Left wing.
	Yeah, of course she believes it.
	I know.
	I understand that.
	Right.
	And, you know, we sent her to, because, as you know, L.A. public schools are challenging.
	We sent her to the finest high school that she could go to.
	Right, but you have to answer me.
	How are your relations now?
	I just...
	I have resigned myself to, I can't change what she's learning because she's got a rebuttal for everything that I say.
	And she's obviously very intelligent and very well-versed in all of this, much more so than I am.
	Well, she's intelligent, but she doesn't have wisdom, so it's useless.
	The reason I ask is because I'm interested, but also because I don't think that parents should be paying the tuition of children who are alienating themselves from the parent.
	I mean, that's the ultimate chutzpah.
	Pay for me to crap on you.

	The Christian seminary is honest.
	The college is a pack of lies.
	The Christian seminary announces our task is to produce a committed Christian.
	Dartmouth lies to parents and does not admit its task is to produce a committed leftist.
	If they did, I would have much less antipathy to colleges if they announced our purpose is to produce leftists, just as the Christian seminary's task is to produce Christians.
	It's the lie, the staggering, overwhelming lie that they are there to open the minds of students that bothers me.

	And in my column today, I quote the great black thinker John McWhorter.
	The column that I wrote and written is called the dehumanization of blacks, which is exactly what has happened.
	The announcement is you can't understand black people and black people are black before their people.
	Because the notion that we're all a human race, and that's the only race that matters, is now considered racist, right?
	So the thing that you must know about a black is that he or she is black.
	Which is an amazing thing.
	It is pure racism.
	John McWhorter wrote a piece in The Atlantic.
	One of the few non-left-wing pieces in The Atlantic.
	Maybe they allow it because he's black.
	He's a professor at Columbia.
	He reviewed the book White Fragility.
	And the title of his column is The Dehumanizing Condescension of White Fragility.
	Here are some excerpts from his review.
	It's a black professor's review of this piece of crap.
	White Fragility.
	One of America's favorite advice books of the moment is actually a racist tract.
	The book diminishes black people in the name of dignifying us.
	White Fragility is the prayer book for what can only be described as a cult.
	It's the next one to call the left a cult.
	And it's correct.
	That is exactly what it is.
	That's why the alienation of kids from their parents is a major feature of it.
	That's what cults do.
	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.
	Few books about race have more openly infantilized black people than the supposedly authoritative tome or simply dehumanized us.
	Her answer to white fragility Entails an elaborate and pitilessly dehumanizing condescension toward black people.

	Personally, you know, we've seen him, how those rallies have animated him, sort of reinvigorated him on the campaign trail.
	They were sort of the lifeblood of that 2016 effort.
	And the extended stretch in which he has not been able to hold campaign rallies during the duration of this crisis has really taken a toll.
	He tried to recreate a little bit of that atmosphere in the Rose Garden.
	It's a very different thing when you're doing it in front of us.
	You know, a couple dozen journalists outdoors in the heat and in an arena with thousands of screaming fans.
	And the message doesn't designate quite the same way without the applause track, so to speak, of the people around there.
	And potentially the president's own delivery of it suffers as well.
	I think that's something that the president and his campaign is still struggling with, is how do they...
	Find some sort of replacement for that.
	Is that something that they can ever truly, fully replace?
	Do they need to explore other avenues to try to get the President's message out?
	I don't think they have a perfect answer for that just yet.

	What do you suppose would make it so possible that people could be talking openly about I mean, ten years ago, nobody was talking openly about socialism.
	At least the Democrats that I know were not talking openly about it.
	What has happened?
	Well, what's happened is it's sort of inevitable.
	It always happens in the 10 to 15 years after a financial crisis.
	If you look back in history, and believe it or not, I have data on 120 years and 800 elections over 20 advanced economies.
	And every time there's a financial crisis in advanced economies, twice a century, basically.
	And the 15 years following that, you get the same kind of dynamics where people start to...
	Question market economies, question the moral and practical basis of capitalism, and you get this populism that we typically see on both left and right in countries all over the world.
	It's not a terrible thing.
	A lot of it's misbegotten.
	The idea that we would become a democratic socialist country, it's a problem.
	Questioning the basis on which we actually treat each other economically, that's a good thing to do.
	Because if we forget, then we forget our basic values.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Maybe what's going on in the world, and America in particular, has validated, for those of you who are skeptical, the importance of the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	Because if you don't get the big issues right, then you're not going to get the little issues right, and your life is confused.
	The problem in America is that we got the big issues wrong.
	We didn't teach them the big stuff.
	What is America?
	What is religion?
	What is liberty?
	So this is the reason for the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	Every family should have an Ultimate Issues day, week, month, year.
	Otherwise, your kids will end up at best confused and at worst.
	Mean.
	Today's ultimate issue is parents and the fifth of the Ten Commandments.
	I have taught the Ten Commandments my entire life.
	It's a big part, obviously, of my commentary on Exodus.
	I'm now two-thirds of the way through finishing the third volume of my commentary.
	Also contains the fifth book of the Bible, contains the Ten Commandments.
	And I have gone through a lot of incarnations with regard to the question of what's the most important of the Ten Commandments.
	Because a case could be made for almost any of them.
	But right now, and I would say for the last couple of years, I have been for the first time tending toward honor your father and mother.
	And I have an interesting basis for it within the Ten Commandments.
	I know the Ten Commandments by heart.
	In Hebrew and in English.
	I know them pretty well.
	And it says, honor your father and mother so that the days, that your days will be lengthened on the land that I give you.
	Isn't that interesting?
	It is the only commandment.
	Of the Ten Commandments that promises a reward in this world.
	That's a biggie!
	Just like there's only one commandment that God says He will not forgive, which is doing evil in His name.
	That's the third commandment.
	That's not for now.
	There's only one that promises a reward.
	In other words, if you want a civilization to endure, children must honor their parents.
	There you go.
	So I, that's not the reason I am in the, this is the most important commandment mode, but I have basis within the Ten Commandments.
	That if you believe God gave them, which I do believe, or if you just believe Moses gave them, or if you believe a committee gave them, I don't care.
	But whoever gave them only said your civilization will endure about one of the commandments, and that is to honor your father and mother.
	And when I hear from all these parents and read about all these parents, Kids go to college and then have contempt or even cut off relations with their parents because their parents have different political views, social views.
	I am in 99% of the cases these are not religious people.
	Because religious people know that Honor your father and mother doesn't come with an asterisk that says, but not if they voted for Donald Trump.
	Then the commandment is abrogated.
	Right?
	Doesn't come with that, does it?
	It's not an asterisk.
	It's not a footnote.
	Not a parenthetical statement.
	It's just honor your father and mother.
	The audacity, the sick, evil notion that I will not talk to my parent who loves me and raised me and sent me to college because they voted for Trump.
	You are truly an SOB. You are.
	You are a lowlife.
	You're an ingrate lowlife.
	I would say that if a kid said that about a parent who voted for a Democrat.
	What, are you out of your mind?
	You're not going to talk to your parents?
	Because even if they support Bernie Sanders, if they support AOC, I would hold this for the right as much as for the left.
	But there's another aspect to it.
	To honor your father and mother how important it is and it doesn't come with an asterisk.
	And the secular world produces no obligations.
	Do you understand that?
	That's what it is.
	It's all, how do I feel about it?
	Well, I feel that my parents are racist because they supported the president.
	That's what they told me in college, so it must be true.
	Right?
	But there is another aspect to honor your father and mother.
	This is another one of the genius aspects.
	There are ten commandments.
	They are on two tablets.
	So the first five rests on the fifth, and the second five rests on the tenth.
	And by golly, there's a reason for that.
	Part of the genius of the ten commandments.
	The other four are dependent on the fifth, and the second four are dependent upon the tenth.
	Do not covet that which belongs to your neighbor.
	That's why you will steal.
	That's why you will murder.
	That's why you will commit adultery.
	It's genius.
	It's bloody genius.
	And on the fifth, the first four, Honoring parents is the road to honoring God.
	By recognizing that there is an authority higher than you in your parent, you ultimately can recognize there is an authority higher than you in God.
	Stuff is very big!
	And what has happened with the breakdown of honor your father and mother?
	We have a breakdown of authority.
	What do you think the riots are?
	You think these rioters are honoring their parents as a general rule?
	I doubt it.
	And so the elimination of parental authority leads to the elimination of other authority.
	God's authority, even the state's authority, although they would like to give the state more and more authority, police authority, teachers' authority, they're all dead.
	The only authority I know are my feelings.
	That's my authority.
	My feelings.
	That's chaos.
	So, my dear friends, honor your father and mother might be, in some ways, the most important of the Ten Commandments.

	Cut number 12. The New York Times 1619 Project, so named for the year that the first slaves were transported to America, wants you to believe That our country was founded for human bondage.
	They want you to believe that America's institutions continue to reflect the country's acceptance of slavery at our founding.
	They want you to believe that Marxist ideology that America is only the oppressors and the oppressed.
	The Chinese Communist Party must be gleeful when they see the New York Times spout this ideology.
	Some people have taken these false doctrines to heart.

	The ultimate issues issue is honoring your parents.
	The two pillars of the Ten Commandments are the fifth and the tenth.
	The others reside or lean or depend on them.
	That's how important it is.
	It's the only commandment that promises a reward.
	Your civilization will endure.
	And when I hear from you about your kids, the last hour is a woman who called daughters at Dartmouth and real strained relations with her mother.
	It's a mother's conservative.
	I mean, I... I hear of kids who won't talk to parents because of that.
	Aside from these kids' meanness and their obvious lack of belief that they have any obligation toward the parent who raised them, nurtured them, loved them, paid for them, they have no obligation.
	The colleges often produce bad human beings.
	They're often taught by bad human beings, so why would it be otherwise?
	All righty, Cleveland, Tennessee.
	Ryan, hello.
	Hey there, Mr. Program, how are you?
	I'm well, thank you.
	So, my question's kind of the opposite, I guess, of what's his name, but I'm 20 years old, and I've had a strained relation with my father for many years.
	And I haven't spoken or seen to him in probably six or seven years now.
	And I'm a religious person, and I take the Ten Commandments seriously.
	But it's painful, and it's kind of confusing, because I don't know how to honor my father if my father doesn't want a relationship with me.
	The commandment does not command you to do the impossible.
	Why does your father not want a relationship with you?
	I know that this exists, but it still confounds me as a parent.
	Why is that?
	Yeah, you know, he doesn't have a relationship with me or any of my other siblings, really, for that matter.
	He has a lot of personal issues, I would say.
	He was a musician.
	You know, some work a lot of the times, and I would say money, you know, had grabbed him in some unhealthy ways.
	He, I think, took that, you know, everything was always a price tag in a sense, and my parents divorced when I was about five years old so many years ago, but it never seemed like he wanted to go, you know.
	Right.
	Well, look, if he's not interested, don't worry about the commandment.
	I mean, God does not demand the impossible.
	So, you know, if he ever reaches out, you will respond.
	Or you can let him know in an email, if you ever reach out, I will respond.
	You have done your duty.
	Is your mother in your life?
	My mother is in my life, and she's fantastic.
	Alright, there you go.
	Well, you sound like a wonderful human being.
	Your father should be thrilled to have you in his life.
	But I know of such instances.
	There are a lot of unhealthy people around.
	I know that this is a revelation to all of you, but despite the fact that you all know it, I thought it would be worth saying.
	All right, Columbus, Ohio, and Alan.
	Hello, Alan.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Good to speak with you again.
	I spoke with you in April after I lost my wife and mother.
	But my issue now is actually kind of opposite of what you're talking about.
	I'm a 57-year-old conservative, and my parents are both 86, relatively healthy.
	But they vote Democrat.
	And it's become a contention between us.
	I see them weekly.
	I visit them.
	I tell them I love them.
	We hug.
	And I guess my problem is I lost two conservative votes this last year.
	And to see my parents, they don't even pay attention to the issues.
	They raised me to be a Democrat, and I'm thinking late 20s, early 30s, I started looking at the issues, the candidates, and thought, wait a minute.
	I'm not a Democrat.
	I'm a conservative.
	I voted Republican since.
	The only fight my father and I ever had was in 2007 when he decided to vote for Barack Obama.
	We had an out.
	I went back, apologized because I knew I disrespected him.
	I respect him, but it's come to the point where I'm praying, Lord, they've lived a good, healthy life.
	Take them home.
	They're not going to live to see what the Democrats do to our nation.
	I know that's wrong, but...
	Well, as long as they don't know or...
	You haven't humiliated them by telling others you're anonymous on the radio, so that doesn't count.
	But, you know, it would be terribly hurtful to them to know that you're praying that they die.
	So, I just, I wouldn't divulge that to others.
	All right.
	At least, anyway.
	What matters is how you treat people, not what you wish with regard to them.

	Hi, Kathleen.
	Hey, Mike, how are you?
	I am completely, totally opposite of what y'all feel.
	First, there's not a law on the books anywhere that mandates that I have to wear a mask.
	I am a widow of a 24-year Army veteran who is probably turning over in his grave right now because Americans have just given up their freedoms in less than four months.
	If you do go on the CDC site, if you read Go On Down, you will see the cloth mask.
	Do little to no good to keep you from getting a virus.
	Kathleen, I know, I know.
	We've had this same argument.
	We go round and round and round.
	But let me just ask you.
	Hang on, hang on.
	Hang on, Kathleen.
	Let me just put it to you this way.
	The CDC director said if we all wear masks, we could get this thing under control for six, eight weeks.
	Understanding your cynicism, what if he was right?
	What's it going to be next, though, Mike?
	They're going to tell me I can't shop if I don't get the vaccine?
	I'm not asking about hypotheticals or slippery slopes.
	What if the director of the CDC was right?
	What if everybody wearing a mask when you came in contact with other people in public could get this thing under control in four to six or eight weeks?
	What if he's right?
	It's not my job to take care of your health.
	I'm not asking you whose job that...
	Kathleen, you want to give me a bunch of talking points?
	I guess I'm just trying to ask you, you don't think it's worth it if this thing got under control in four to six weeks by everybody wearing masks?
	You don't think it's worth it?
	I don't believe that that's going to happen.
	I don't believe that that's going to happen.
	Okay, all right.
	I get it.
	I get it.

	The remarkable lies of UCLA's Jackie Robinson, Woody Strode, Tom Bradley, Kenny Washington, and Ray Bartlett.
	These were all UCLA Bruin football players or athletes at the same time.
	And the book talks about why these athletes chose UCLA. Other schools, such as the University of Southern California, rejected African-American players.
	If the USC Trojans did recruit one, he often sat on the bench, no matter how talented he was.
	So, all these players selected UCLA because they grew up in LA, they lived at home, they wanted to play for a hometown crowd, and the USC Trojans did not want them.
	I mention this because one of the men who attended USC, about whom this book is written, Tom Bradley, became mayor of Los Angeles, was elected four times, ran for governor twice, barely lost.

	Cults.
	All sever relations.
	Between the cult member and parents.

	National cult.
	And it does sever relations very often.

	I am good.
	My parents are not.
	Not because they didn't love me or protect me.
	Or take care of me.
	Or pay for me.
	But because they don't think like I do.
	They're not in the cult.
	Parental authority is a bulwark against the cults.
	All right, everybody.
	And let's go to more of your calls.
	Gary in Cleveland, Ohio.
	Hi, Gary.
	Hey, Dennis.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm well, thank you.
	Hey, great topic.
	I've heard you talk about it before.
	What I want to bring up is the fact that I have a beautiful wife, and her family, whose mother and father, I don't know if they just have made this choice where there's a separation between certain siblings, They go out of their way to make things difficult throughout history through the holidays and stuff like that.
	I mean, you say honor your mother and father, but if they continually try to disrupt normal family life, then what do you do?
	I know.
	Well, obviously, this dilemma falls more on your wife, but you're attached to your wife, so it falls on both of you.
	How does she handle it?
	Or how does she think she should handle it?
	Well, throughout our 20 years of marriage, she has always tried to make a normal family life.
	And it always seems to come into this dead-end type thing because there's always a mission.
	You said that one child against the other.
	Even my kids and other nieces and nephews, of course, are sisters and brothers.
	We're talking about something that's really different here.
	And like I said earlier, you talk about honoring your mother and your father, but, you know, it's like, after this hurts when I do this, we'll stop doing it.
	And that's kind of where we're at after years and years and years of trying.
	Yep.
	Look, I can't answer every individual.
	I know you all appreciate that.
	I'm not denying the importance of the call at all.
	You have to wrestle with what is doable and what you believe God wants.
	I mean, if God is not behind the Ten Commandments, it doesn't really have much power.
	Here's another point that I've been making all of my life.
	We have thought you could drop God and still have a good society.
	Wrong!
	We've dropped God and we may not even have our society.
	Not because God punishes us or anything like that.
	Just because God is necessary.
	Morally necessary.
	Great message.
	I never argue for God's existence.
	Well, I don't say never.
	I rarely.
	I argue for the necessity of God.
	That's more important.
	Anyway, you have to wrestle with what is possible and what ultimately is demanded of you.
	It's demanded of you to honor.
	So you have impossible people who are just toxic presences.
	That's the way I would describe what was just described.
	So you don't break off relations and you don't enhance them.
	Okay?
	I think the ultimate dishonor of parents is not speaking to them.
	So you can text them.
	You could have called.
	My father called his mother every day of his life.
	And it made a big impact on me because she was a difficult woman.
	May she rest in peace.
	She would yell at him the whole call.
	I'll tell you what he did.
	What's our story here?

	Okay, Ultimate Issues Hour, third hour every Tuesday.
	I've come to the provisional realization.
	I could change my mind.
	That if you pin me down and said, what's the most important of the Ten Commandments, I might say, honor your father and mother.
	Because so much rests on that.
	Like the future of a civilization.
	Parental authority is critical.
	So I was telling you this story.
	My dad had a difficult mother.
	He called her every day.
	And it made a big impact on me.
	A big impact.
	And he would call her from the kitchen table after dinner.
	And she would start yelling at him.
	And I didn't understand what she was yelling because she was yelling at him in Yiddish, the Jewish East European or European language.
	It's not Hebrew, but it's written in Hebrew anyway, just to give you some education.
	So she was yelling at him.
	And what he would do is he would put the phone...
	On the table.
	And that's how I heard all the yelling.
	And then about every minute or so, he'd pick it up and he'd go, yeah, ma, yeah, yeah, yeah, ma.
	And then he put it back down and more yelling.
	And it made a very big impact on me.
	My father, honoring his difficult mother, calls her up, knows he's going to get yelled at, and calls her up anyway.
	There you go.
	And I write in my commentary on the Bible, in the introduction, people who think, you know, I don't need God.
	Well, it was my belief that God instructed me to honor my parents, that at my difficult times with my parents, I stayed in touch and honored them.
	That's what did it.
	All righty, everybody.
	And Logan in Leighton, New Jersey.
	The famous Logan of Leighton.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Hi.
	I hope your two earlier callers are still listening.
	I wrestled with that, too.
	I had a rough relationship with my father, who just passed in March.
	The thing is the wording there, because I think honor is a big delineation between that and loving your father, and I don't think you're scripturally obligated to love your father, but honor is one of, I think, a matter of respect and civility, and I think that's a big delineation.
	I had to make it and wrestled with it for a while, but I wasn't plagued with any guilt after his passing, because I think At the very least, I did that.
	Well, you are really echoing my...
	It's amazing.
	I have said this so often, I don't expect people to hear everything I say.
	I'm not an idiot.
	But that is one of the points I make about the sophistication of the Bible.
	We're told to love our neighbor, love God, love the stranger.
	Christians are told to love their enemies, and you are never told to love our parents.
	God, as it were, understands that's just not available to everybody.
	So, that's fine.
	It's not fine emotionally, but it's fine morally.
	You don't love them, you don't love them, but you have to honor them.
	That's correct.
	Now, I acknowledge that there are people of such toxicity that the normal methodology doesn't work.
	I acknowledge that.
	I'm just saying you have to wrestle with it.
	Look, if the commandments were easy, they wouldn't be commandments.
	It's like the joke I actually, it's the only joke I have in my commentary.
	The rational Bible.
	Moses comes down from the mountain, from Mount Sinai, and he announces, Israelites, I have good news and bad news.
	The good news, I got him down to ten.
	The bad news, adultery stays.
	I think it's a great joke.
	It's a Jewish joke, and it's an...
	Realistic joke about life.
	It's not an easy commandment for most people to fulfill.
	The temptation to have somebody else, in addition, even have nothing to do with whether you love your spouse, especially for men.
	Usually for women who love their spouse, it's less of an ongoing temptation.
	I want to talk about that on the male-female hour, actually.
	That's a good one.
	And do not steal?
	I mean, that's rough.
	Think of all the people that steal.
	I think stealing is at epidemic levels like drugs in the United States.
	So this one's a tough one too, honor your parents.
	That's the point.
	Alrighty, everybody.
	And Dennis.
	In Crown Point, Indiana.
	Hi.
	Good afternoon, Mr. Prager.
	Shalom.
	Thank you.
	I'm extremely nervous, so forgive me.
	You are forgiven, and you don't sound nervous, for whatever that's worth.
	Well, I consider you a wise man.
	Thank you.
	When I told the screener...
	I minister a lot to, for whatever reason, I'm in my mid-50s.
	Most of our friends are, like, in their 30s.
	Young families, young couples.
	I have a 16 and a 13-year-old daughter.
	We've made a demand.
	I'm one of those, I'm kind of in between the boomers and the next generation.
	I'm an oops baby, so my parents were of the greatest generation.
	All right, hold on there.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	First of all, Mike Pompeo gave a speech at the Department of State slamming the New York Times 1619 project and talking about America's founding.
	Just one cut from that, please.
	Cut number 12. The New York Times 1619 Project, so named for the year that the first slaves were transported to America, wants you to believe.
	That our country was founded for human bondage.
	They want you to believe that America's institutions continue to reflect the country's acceptance of slavery at our founding.
	They want you to believe that Marxist ideology that America is only the oppressors and the oppressed.
	The Chinese Communist Party must be gleeful when they see the New York Times spout this ideology.
	Some people have taken these false doctrines to heart.
	The rioters pulling down statues, thus see nothing wrong with desecrating monuments to those who fought for our unalienable rights, from our founding to the present day.
	And yesterday, Bill Barr opened up on the Chinese Communist Party.
	Here is the Attorney General at the Gerald R. Ford Museum.
	yesterday, cut number one.
	The CCP's campaign to compel ideological conformity does not stop at China's borders.
	Rather, the CCP seeks to extend its influence around the world, including on American soil.
	All too often, for the sake of short-term profits, American companies have succumbed to that influence, even at the expense of freedom and openness in the United States.

	South Carolina reports record high of 69 deaths!
	And of course, South Carolinians are aware that the day before it was zero.
	Oh my word!
	It's just...
	Skyrocketing!
	And here's literally the article from WCSC out of Charleston.
	State health officials have reported 1,840 new new cases of COVID-19 and 69 additional deaths in South Carolina, which is the most deaths reported in the state for a single day.
	How would you not be Horrified by that line.
	Go to the second line in the same story.
	However, officials with the Department of Health and Environmental Control say the deaths of those individuals occurred over the past few weeks.
	DHEC officials announced this delay is often attributed to ensuring the death is accurately reported.
	Okay, Ultimate Issues Hour, back to Dennis in Crown Point, Indiana.
	So, you're in your 50s, you have friends in their 30s.
	Are you a minister?
	Um, yes.
	Well, yes, I was a missionary and now I'm back.
	Where were you?
	By the way, where did you go?
	Where did you missionize?
	I was in Brazil.
	Fast.
	How long?
	I was there six years.
	With your wife?
	My wife and my children, yes.
	I have a 16 and a 13-year-old daughter that we moved with them, and it's good.
	They came back here, and they tell their friends all the time to appreciate what we have here.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	No kidding.
	Nothing like a dose of going abroad to understand what we have here, and finally appreciate it.
	So you're fluent in Portuguese?
	Yes.
	Alright.
	Obrigado.
	Go ahead.
	My friends in Brazil will say I'm fluent in gringoese.
	I understand.
	I have words that I just make up.
	Right, of course.
	Well, I make up words in English.
	Okay, go ahead.
	Yeah.
	The thing, my main point in all this is...
	My brother and sister are 11 and 13 years older.
	They are having the kids that are now my friends, you know, and it's so difficult because that generation, the boomers wanted to be friends with their children, and now my generation, we want to be friends with our children, and we're not called to be friends.
	That's right.
	My parents, it's so difficult.
	I did not do things, not out of fear of being caught.
	I did it out of fear of dishonoring my parents.
	Beautiful.
	And both my daughters know when they go anywhere, we've raised them, we've demanded them at an early age, we've demanded and we modeled what honor and respect amongst my wife and I, my mother and I, and there's nobody there modeling what honor is.
	That's right.
	And we have to make these demands because I'm not here to be my children's friends.
	That's right.
	Hey, listen, you said you were nervous at the beginning.
	You were really eloquent.
	Your daughters will grow up well.
	It'd be interesting to know what percentage of happy people honor their parents and what percentage of unhappy people don't.
	It's a big deal.
	Steve, Gary, Melissa, John, Chris, Mike, and Joe.
	I wish I could take your call.
	But you know what?
	The end of the hour on talk radio is sort of like, to be really morbid, it's sort of like a little death.
	It just ends.
	You want it to go on.
	My friends, Honor your father and mother to the best of your ability.
