	It wasn't through writing.
	I didn't check my mail last night, I'm sure I got.
	I just didn't check it.
	I am feverishly working on finishing the third volume of my five-volume commentary on the first five books of the Bible.
	And I'm telling you, it is the hardest, it's definitely the hardest thing I've ever done.
	But like all...
	There's somewhat of a rule in life that everything meaningful is hard.
	Can you think of something that was easy and really meaningful and had duration to it?
	That's a big problem because a lot of young people are not marrying, not having kids, because it's tough.
	It's also tough when you don't.
	But they don't know.
	Imagine if everybody could see the fork in their life.
	This is what would happen if you marry and make a family.
	We're going to put you 50 years ahead for five minutes to see your life 50 years from now.
	You're 20 when you're 70. This is your life without marrying.
	This is your life With marrying.
	The funny thing is you can see your future in many ways by talking to people who've made different choices.
	Ask people who married and had children.
	Do you regret it?
	Some might, by the way.
	Overwhelmingly, I suspect not.
	Ask the other ones who didn't marry and have children.
	Do you?
	Do you regret it?
	Do you wish you had?
	I think you might get more regrets.
	So, the living martyr has apprised me of the baseball situation.
	Baseball opened.
	I'm going to ask you questions, some of which you may not have answers to.
	First of all, did they supply, you know, Like they have soundtracks on comedies, laugh tracks.
	Did they supply crowd tracks?
	What about you, Sean?
	They did?
	So let me ask you.
	You just said it's really weird.
	weird.
	Is it obvious?
	I don't know why they're doing it.
	Thank you.
	Oh, look, I can't stand laugh tracks.
	Woody Allen made a joke about that in one of his early movies, how dishonest it is.
	Woody Allen is an essentially honest man, and he's sort of a naive child, and I don't say that as an attack, in a crappy world.
	And he doesn't know why he's being hit by it.
	And he shouldn't be.
	Some people have stood by him now, but the usual cowardice reigns in Hollywood, right?
	I'm not going to work with Woody Allen.
	I mean, based on logic, you know, he's been charged by Mia Farrow and her daughter.
	With him having molested her once, correct?
	Once.
	No one else of the children has claimed ever.
	No, there's not the slightest scandal in his life in that arena.
	Do you know anybody who does something like that once?
	To one person and once?
	And we're supposed to believe that?
	And ruin his life and his reputation?
	Oh yes, it was disproven.
	That's correct.
	It went to court.
	Yale did research on it.
	And here I am.
	This guy's a dyed-in-the-wool liberal.
	Guy wouldn't vote Republican if a gun was to his head.
	I don't care.
	Right is right and wrong is wrong.
	Anyway, I got onto him because of the laugh track.
	So, Sean, stay with me here.
	So, if the guy hits a single, they have a crowd applauding?
	And it was subtle and, you know...
	When the...
	Mookie was at bat.
	Okay.
	That is strange.
	Uh-huh.
	Now, do we have any idea how many Americans watched?
	This is, to me, the $64,000 question.
	Yeah.
	Maybe people did...
	I think people did out of curiosity, too.
	I think...
	I would have been interested to see what happens.
	I would want to know about taking the knee.
	Now, do you know about taking the knee?
	All right.
	You want to give him the microphone, please?
	That was very fast, Sean.
	I want to salute you.
	So, Alan, let me quickly ask you.
	So, let's say the Nationals, okay?
	This took place in Washington, the game?
	Where was this game?
	I don't know if it was in Washington or New York.
	Nationals versus...
	Okay.
	It was in Washington.
	Fine.
	Did both teams...
	Did both teams take the knee?
	They took the knee before the National Anthem.
	Okay, hold on.
	All the players?
	Before the National Anthem?
	Yes.
	And they held a black scarf?
	Is that what...
	What does that mean?
	Around their neck?
	You have a picture on your computer.
	Okay, fine.
	Now, okay, so I consider that a victory for the good guys.
	That nobody kneeled during the National Anthem.
	Oh, they did?
	No, no, let's separate.
	Okay, we're talking about the Nationals and the Yankees now, not the Dodgers.
	Okay, in the Yankees-Nationals game, no one took a knee during the National Anthem.
	That is correct.
	I think that's very important.
	I don't want any politics in sports to begin with, but my biggest anger was the disgracing of the flag.
	Alright, they stood for the National Anthem as big.
	Now, what's with Mookie Betts and the Dodgers?
	So Mookie Betts is the Dodgers' new star.
	He came over from the Boston Red Sox and signed a $350 million contract yesterday or the day before, and he kneeled during the National Anthem.
	So he kneeled at both times, both before the National Anthem and during.
	I know, I know.
	That's what I just said.
	So, like I said, you're just repeating what I said.
	So, and they put their hands, but he was the only one to kneel during the national anthem.
	Okay, for that alone, I wouldn't watch the Dodgers.
	It's a sum, you've got to say, this is some racist country.
	Yeah, I know.
	$350 million contract.
	Yeah, but listen, Uncle Ben.
	Okay, whenever you think racism, think of Uncle Ben's rice and Aunt Jemima's pancakes, and then you will know how deep racism is in this country at this time.
	All right, sometimes you forget that.
	Thank you, sir.
	Boogie reminded us.
	That's right, exactly.
	Okay, 1-8 Prager 776. We shall return.
	The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Kroker.
	You are a fearless warrior on social media.
	Talk to us about your response to what Tucker Carlson is going through right now.
	I think if anyone gets doxed, then the media gets doxed too.
	If we're opening this war, let's go.
	I just think we're at that point.
	It's just so ridiculous, so awful, so absurd to dox someone and so dangerous that, okay, you next.
	What you do unto others is what will be done to you.
	Something like that, Jesus said?
	I don't know.
	I probably twisted it.
	I just think that's absolutely disgusting and awful.
	And if you weren't a fan of Tucker, you should be now because he's leading the brigade.
	So, your message to the world and to the billion, no, it's got to be two billion eyeballs if you've got a million views.
	The two billion eyeballs out there is no mercy.
	Is that Nicole Arbour's social media warrior message?
	I believe you just said that, but yeah, it's no mercy.
	Just treat other people the way you want to be treated.
	So, if you don't want to be doxed, maybe don't be doxing people, you know, maybe?
	Let's just, like, use our heads and be adults here.
	It's gotten crazy.
	You're on the front lines.
	Are people trying to dox you?
	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	But that's nothing.
	I get death threats at 3 a.m.
	on my home phone.
	It's, you know, it's, as I said when I was in the White House, you're only taking flack when you're over the target.
	I told my, kind of weird, my colleagues didn't get it, especially in the press shot back then.
	There were certain...
	What's the word?
	I won't use it.
	Certain individuals who worked in the White House press office who wanted love and approval from places like CNN and the Washington Post and the New York Times.
	People who...

	I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm tired of being censored by the liberal tech giants, so I'm taking a different approach in using SquadPod, 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 Squad Pod.
	Tell us a little bit about the back story between the mayor and the relationship between the police and the mayor's office and how things are going in Chicago with regards to public safety.
	Well, I mean, before she was elected mayor, she was a police reform, in quotation marks, advocate who promulgated the same line of argumentation that you got from the Obama White House, that police departments, including Chicago, were systemically racist, despite the fact that half of the Chicago Police Department are black or Latino officers.
	Doesn't matter.
	Systemically racist.
	She has, like in so many other places where you see rioters taking control of the streets.
	She has put Chicago police back on their heels.
	And the result of that, as we know, as we know from research from Roland Fryer at Harvard, and as we know from what we see with our eyes in Portland and Seattle and Chicago and New York and Atlanta and L.A., is that you put police back on your heels and you tell that small segment of the population that are violent criminals, repeat violent criminals in most cases, that you have nothing to concern yourself with as it pertains to the police or the state's attorney's office.
	That's important, too.
	Then you have them doing what you're doing, doing what you see them doing, which is running amok.
	I mean, 14 people, 15 people shot at a funeral, and it was laying to rest a gangbanger.
	So one gang is there.
	The other gang drives by and shoots.
	The gang that was there to honor their fallen brother opens fire, and it's a shootout like you see in a Robert De Niro movie.
	Dan, and it does, this all feels like a movie.

	1-8 Prager 776. Did any of the baseball players have social slogans on the back of their uniform?
	That's also important.
	So, except for Mookie Betts' $350 million contract, So I would like to ask, do you feel that you have suffered being an American because you're black?
	In the totality of your life, between luck, good luck, and unfortunate things, what would you rate your life as a black American?
	Moron.
	In greats.
	I hate in greats.
	I must say, I do.
	I hate hysterics.
	I hate ingrates.
	We're living, it's all hysteria.
	If you realize, this country should be sort of so at peace with itself.
	It's so astonishing.
	The left creates the lies that become hysteria, like the Russian collusion thing.
	It was a 100% lie.
	They get away with it.
	They go to the next thing.
	The New York Times won a Pulitzer Prize.
	They won a Pulitzer Prize for the 1619. Pulitzer Committee is corrupt because the left has poisoned it.
	they've poisoned everything that they touch.
	Daniel Henninger in the Wall Street Journal, "Progressives to cities drop dead." Talking about cities?
	We should, I think, tell me what you think.
	Should we put it up or not?
	Those little black kids marching in Portland with signs saying F the police, but it's completely spelled out.
	Put it up.
	Did you see any adult men in that video?
	Can you imagine raising your child?
	who The kid looked three years old, four years old.
	Can you imagine raising your child with such language, first of all?
	Or am I speaking white culture when I think your child should not use the F word?
	I must be really white-culturized.
	I didn't even...
	I'm an outlier among whites.
	I didn't want my kids to say suck.
	Language is important. .
	Yep.
	You gotta see this video.
	It was...
	Andy Ngo put it up.
	Guy's got courage.
	Staying in Portland.
	My God, I associate Portland.
	Your chaos.
	On Tuesday, the New York City sky was clear, blue, and filled with sunshine.
	That's it for this week's good news.
	That was funny.
	That's how Daniel Henninger began his piece in the Wall Street Journal.
	We now turn to Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco.
	And all of America's others seemingly godforsaken cities.
	I loved it when Portland's mayor, Ted Wheeler, said the federal presence, quote, is actually leading to more violence and more vandalism, unquote.
	Where's Groucho Marx when we need him to make sense of nonsense?
	50 plus days of violence and rioting and this...
	I don't know how America produces people like the Portland mayor.
	I don't know.
	I don't know how it produces people who vote for him.
	So all the days there were no federal troops, what was the reason for the vandalism and violence then, mayor?
	Outside wartime, with bombardments turning blocks into rubble, I'm hard put to think of any precedent for what is happening to these U.S. cities now.
	The enforced pandemic closures and isolation were bad enough, but the endless protests with their instinct to violence and atmosphere of dread have broken the spirit of many cities.
	A story recently in Crane's New York Business Or half-dressed beggars who Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration has housed in nearby hotels.
	Said one restaurant owner, every bit of progress this neighborhood has made over the years is stepping backwards.
	All the left does is destroy.
	Do you see that?
	I have another piece on de Blasio.
	The welcoming of graffiti.
	I mean, actual welcoming of it.
	During New York's 1970 financial crisis, the Daily News ran a famous headline about then-President Gerald Ford.
	Ford to city, drop dead.
	Here's the update.
	Progressive to cities, drop dead.
	He ends it, it is doubtful many will check the box for Mr. Trump in November, but who knows?
	Their alternative is Joe Biden, whose contribution to the urban chaos this week was, quote, There is no reason for the president to send federal troops into a city where people are demanding change peacefully and respectfully.
	Unquote.
	The last words of his column.
	Which city is he looking at?
	There is nothing Biden could say.
	There is no untruth that would be so declared by the media.
	This is the way it works.
	you All right, everybody.
	Let's go to Marty in Beaumont, California.
	Hello, Marty.
	Hey, Dennis.
	Good morning.
	As I explained to your golf screener, I'm a lifelong Dodger fan.
	Very upset at Buki.
	Upset at the two other Dodger stars that had their hands on his shoulders.
	I'm a Vietnam vet.
	I'm going to give him one more game.
	If he kneels, I'm through with the Dodgers, completely.
	Several of the Giants, now, including their manager...
	Wait, wait, again, the key question is during the...
	And that I could root against the Giants, but now I'm in a situation where I'm disgusted.
	I feel for you.
	I do.
	Because it's so important to have a diversion in life like sports.
	But the left has ruined it.
	And it's all over a lie that America is racist.
	Do you understand?
	All of this is about the biggest lie since the blood libel against the Jews in the Middle Ages.

	Maxine Waters, speaking of her, says that federal agents in unmarked cars could be the people that Trump uses to help him resist stepping down when he loses the re-election.
	I have said all along that this man is a deplorable human being.
	This is where we consider the source.
	Keep going.
	And certainly, there's nothing that he could say that would shock me anymore.
	She is going to explode when he wins re-election.
	Absolutely explode.
	And so he's already, you know, basically talked about perhaps there might be a civil war.
	When did he say there might be a civil war?
	Did I miss that?
	To stepping down, believe him.
	Believe him, because I tell you, something is going on in this country.
	When I take a look at what is going on within Oregon...
	Schools have gotten worse since she's been in office.
	Percentage of kids born without a father in the house gotten higher since she's been in office.
	What has she done?
	Other than racism, racism, racism for the last 30 years.
	What has she done?
	Refused to come on the show and told Gloria Allred, who then had a show on the same station I did, why she wouldn't come on Larry Elder's show.
	I don't go on shows of entertainers.
	He's nothing but an entertainer.
	Gloria, you're a serious journalist.
	Gloria Allred is a serious journalist.
	I digress.
	You're a serious journalist, Gloria, but I don't have time to waste with those entertainers.

	Ah.
	So that's not true.
	940. I guess that is the end of this.
	You'd think after 20 years I would know my show clock.
	You would think!
	All right.
	Let's hear your reactions, my friends.
	Frank Dix Hills, New York.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Pleasure to finally get to speak with you.
	Thank you very much.
	I am a lifelong Yankee fan going back to 1961 when the Yankees beat the Cincinnati in the World Series.
	They were considered one of the best teams ever in the sport.
	I remember going, walking through the tunnel into the Yankee Stadium, you know, to the seats in right field.
	I was nine years old.
	It was like walking into the Vatican.
	I was like overwhelmed by seeing the field.
	What do you call?
	I mark the year by the seasons through baseball.
	I just redid a townhouse up in Wyndham, New York, a vacation house.
	And I made a, you know, an area where my desk is all full of Yankee memorabilia.
	And I put on the game last night, and the first thing I saw was the BLM logo on the mound.
	And I was completely disgusted.
	I turned it off, and then I went to see the second game, the Washington game.
	And I caught the beginning of that game.
	And not only did they have the logo, the BLM logo, they also had all of the players kneeling with a, it looked like a black...
	Right, I mentioned that.
	So what's happening to you?
	All right, so in 20 seconds, where are you now vis-a-vis the Yankees?
	I will not watch another game, okay?
	I will not do anything to support them.
	And I'm a letter writer.
	I wrote a letter to Cuomo about what's going on with the coronavirus, a four-and-a-half-page letter.
	All right, let me leave that aside, because that's another issue.
	You were right to do that.
	You're a good man.
	Since he's nine years old, he's been a Yankee fan.
	I agree with you.
	BLM on the mound.
	So PolitiFact did a true or false thing on the...
	Statement that it's a Marxist movement.
	Why did it declare it?
	It doesn't have a declaration, true or false.
	I can't tell you how stupid the article is.
	It's painful.
	The man who wrote it is just ignorant.
	Or the woman, I have no idea, wrote it.
	It's irrelevant.
	Yes, it's true that the founder said she was a Marxist.
	But so what?
	Most of the people who support it are not.
	Do you understand how moronic that is?
	You know how few people supported the...
	how few Communists supported the Communist Party in the Soviet Union?
	93% of the Soviet citizens were not members of the Communist Party.
	So what?
	So what would you say?
	Look, 93% of the Soviet Union is not a member of the Communist Party.
	The Communist Party is not communist.
	Hitler never won a majority for the Nazis.
	I'm just pointing this out.
	I'm not saying that they're Nazis.
	I'm just pointing out that the notion that not everybody is a this, therefore the movement is not that, is...
	He's a non sequitur.
	That's all.
	Tell me what is not Marxist.
	Do they not want socialism?
	Do they not want the breakdown of...
	If you look at their charter, they're against the nuclear family.
	PolitiFact.
	Another corrupt organization.
	They're as interested in truth as I am.
	I kind of got to think of something.
	In Sinhalese poetry.
	There you go.
	But I'm not against Sinhalese poetry.
	They're against truth.
	Relief Factor is good news.
	They now have video testimonials at relieffactor.com, if I'm not mistaken.
	Anyway, it's worth your while to visit because These are true statements.
	They don't have some writer write this up and attach a name.
	And I know from my experience, people have told me they threw away their cane or canceled surgery thanks to relief factor.
	You'll know if it works in three weeks.
	If it doesn't work, you threw out $19.95.
	If it does work, you pay more for the regular payments.
	But it remains a bargain if you're pain-free, doesn't it?

	Folks, I'm talking to my friend Larry Elder, who has a nationally syndicated radio program, but big deal.
	Who doesn't have one of those, right?
	Larry, honestly, I gotta say, your film Uncle Tom, spectacular as it is, is part of something larger that is happening in this country.
	It seems to me that a lot of blacks in America Are finally waking up, thanks to you and others, and they're looking around and they're saying, I have been sold a bill of goods.
	For example, even I didn't really know the history that the Republican Party was formed to end slavery and that the Democrats were the proponents, not just of slavery, but of keeping blacks down, of the KKK. The Republican Party's whole reason for existence was to stop the spread of slavery and ultimately to end it.
	And you're quite right.
	Democrats founded the KKK. I said that once on Fox News.
	I got fact checked.
	And the fact checker said, Larry Elder said the Democratic Party founded the KKK, when in fact, Larry Elder didn't say that.
	Larry Elder said...
	All right, everybody. everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	What is our story on this, folks?
	I want to remind you about a very, very significant website.
	It's free.
	You don't have to pay anything.
	Flattenthefear.com I'm broadcasting to you from Glendale, California, where the hysterics who run Glendale.
	It's a $400 fine.
	You could be walking alone.

	And you will get a $400 fine.
	It is so shameful.
	Washington, D.C., the same thing.
	These exorbitant, second time, $1,000.
	Well, I may end up getting that fine and then appealing.
	I'd love to know.
	See, if they have the right to do that, what don't they have the right to do?
	And where is the science behind that?
	I read to you the study that was released on masks just last month.
	Was it CDC? It was in May?
	Outside of surgical masks in hospitals, it just doesn't mean anything.
	Why isn't Sweden having any deaths?
	They don't walk around with masks.
	But it doesn't matter.
	People are freaked out.
	There's a restaurant in my town that has a patio.
	You would think as the only patio in the entire town I live in, Normally, the restaurants, a dozen restaurants are full.
	You would think that with the tens of thousands of people who live in the town I live, you would have to wait in line at the one restaurant that has a patio.
	But you don't.
	So what can fill the patio?
	25 people?
	Maybe, I don't know, 20, 25 people.
	And maybe for an hour or two a day it's full.
	People are afraid even to do that.
	And they have barriers between tables.
	The power of the media to scare people.
	So here's an antidote.
	Aside from this show.
	Flattenthefear.com You gotta go and you gotta support it.
	There's a picture.
	That I'm looking at of the Dodgers and Giants, and two Giants are kneeling during the National Anthem, and one Dodger, Mookie Betts, who got a $365 million contract the other day.
	Yeah, but you see, he wants to show he's in solidarity with the poor black guy who's being oppressed by systemic racism.
	Anyway, I think that this is in advance.
	I wouldn't watch baseball right now.
	Let me see.
	I want to see the mound.
	Is there a picture of the mound?
	So where is BLM on the mound?
	It's hard for me to see here.
	Something's written on it.
	It's all based on a lie.
	Do you understand that?
	It's like I'm living in a make-believe world.
	America's not a racist society.
	That's what you have to just keep understanding.
	Read my article, Five Arguments Why It's Not Racist.
	The moment that they go, when they make a big deal about Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben and the Washington Redskins, a name supported by the Native Americans in the U.S., supported by them.
	They support the Redskins' name.
	This is a left-wing initiative, not a Native American or Indian initiative.
	You know why?
	The empty people of the left, you must be empty.
	You fill your whole, the whole cause by lack of meaning, you fill it with left-wing meaning.
	You have joined a cult.
	Cults give people meaning, community.
	Feel good about yourself.
	And that's what it is.
	That's all it is.
	When you're fighting the Washington Redskins name and Aunt Jemima, you are empty.
	You are an empty human being.
	You are a fool.
	This is what you devote your life to?
	Trader Joe's had to give up its different names of non-American products that had Trader in it?
	Like Trader Giovanni or whatever it was?
	Do you understand the nonsense that they fight?
	Man has to resign from Boeing, one of the highest executives.
	33 years ago when he was in the Air Force, he wrote a piece that he didn't think women should be in combat.
	33 years ago, he had to resign.
	This is what they fight.
	This is what the left fights.
	They fight nothing.
	Nothing's fighting nothing.
	But it's such a disgrace.
	I feel terrible for those of you who love baseball, football, or basketball.
	I do.
	I'm not kidding, because it was such an area of solace.
	You know what else?
	This Mookie Betts, he so feels good about himself, it just makes me puke.
	Oh, am I a moral hero?
	I'm the only one on the Dodgers kneeling.
	Because they can't do a damn thing to me because I'm a great player.
	Well, the linkage between decency and wisdom with athletic prowess is not, shall we say, a strong one.
	There are great athletes who are great men, and there are great athletes who are schmucks.
	He's a schmuck.
	That's it.
	It wasn't enough to kneel before the National Anthem.
	You had to kneel during the National Anthem, Mookie Betts.
	And I'm expected not to call you a schmuck?
	I like our flag.
	I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm tired of being censored by the liberal tech giants.
	So I'm taking a different approach in using SquadPod, a team communication and collaboration app for businesses, sales teams, schools, and churches.

	Tell us a little bit about the backstory between the mayor and the relationship between the police and the mayor's office and how things are going in Chicago with regards to public safety.
	Well, I mean, before she was elected mayor, she was a police reform, in quotation marks, advocate who promulgated the same line of argumentation that you got from the Obama White House, that police departments, including Chicago, were systemically racist, despite the fact that half of the Chicago Police Department are black or Latino officers.
	Doesn't matter.
	Systemically racist.
	She has, like in so many other places where you see rioters taking control of the streets.
	She has put Chicago police back on their heels.
	And the result of that, as we know, as we know from research from Roland Fryer at Harvard, and as we know from what we see with our eyes in Portland and Seattle and Chicago and New York and Atlanta and L.A., is that you put police back on your heels and you tell that small segment of the population that are violent criminals, repeat violent criminals in most cases, that you have nothing to concern yourself with as it pertains to the police or the state's attorney's office.
	That's important, too.
	Then you have them doing what you're doing, doing what you see them doing, which is running amok.
	I mean, 14 people, 15 people shot at a funeral, and it was laying to rest a gangbanger.
	So one gang is there, the other gang drives by and shoots.
	The gang that was there to honor their fallen brother opens fire, and it's a shootout like you see in a Robert De Niro movie.

	Here's a tweet from the Tampa Bay Rays.
	Okay, actual tweet from the baseball team, the Tampa Bay Rays.
	Today is opening day, which means it's a great day to arrest the killers of Breonna Taylor.
	They're like trying to outdo one another to show.
	Oh, anti-racist they are, and anti-police they are.
	The Boston Red Sox endorsed the message, and they retweeted it to their 2.1 million followers.

	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	The black American community has been taken for granted by the Democratic Party for 50 years.
	And I really think finally we have enough, you know, reality and history to look at that people are saying something's not working.
	I may be open to something else.
	We've arrived at that moment and it seems a perfect time for the film.
	That black people take it for granted.
	I think you're stating it kindly.
	Black people have been manipulated and used and made worse off because of left-wing policies.
	Policies that reward a woman to marry the government, allows men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility.
	Policies that will not allow an inner-city parent to get his or her kid out of a bad, underperforming, nearby government school.
	I think I've told you, I went to Crenshaw High School, which is a high school that was in the center of that movie, Boys in the Hood.
	Right now...
	According to an LA Times article, only 3% of kids in my high school can do math at grade level.
	And the school is a crip school, meaning that it's run by the gang called the Crips.
	The reason I know that is because Ice-T went to my high school years after I did and told me he selected Crenshaw High School because he wanted to go to a high school where the Crips ran the school.
	Now, you're a parent living within that geographical area.
	One party, the Democratic Party, is mandating to send your daughter who just graduated from middle school to that school where only 3% of kids can do math at grade level and is a crip school.
	And one party, the Republican Party, wants to give that inner-city parent an option.
	Why are we even having a conversation on which party is the better party for blacks?
	If education is the route to the middle class, and if education is that both Democrats and Republicans say the 21st century civil rights issue, then why are you not allowing parents the option to opt out of a bad, underperforming government school?

	Yesterday, Michael Oren, the longtime Ambassador of Israel to the United States said on this show that the $400 billion deal that the Chinese Communist Party entered into with the mullahs of Iran is a game-changer that nobody noticed in the Middle East.
	It just gave a lifeline to the mullahs who were struggling, and it really declares that the CCP is on the side of the Shiite theocrats.
	I don't think that they're on the side of Shiite theocrats.
	I think they're on the side of whatever gives them a short-term gain.
	And a short-term advantage.
	I don't think they have, you know, the U.S. won't go into deals or U.S. won't deal with countries in a lot of instances economically that don't meet certain standards and certain principles.
	With China, there are no standards and there are no principles.
	I'll deal with anybody who's going to give me a leg up.

	Here we go, all.
	It's the happy, happy, happy, happy hour.
	Yes, it is.
	My friends, every Friday since 1999, second hour of the show.
	The happy hour!
	Actually, the happiness hour.
	My friends, the happy make the world better, the unhappy make it worse.
	Is that not obvious now in the US of A? The people who want to make it the USSA? Right?
	Union of Soviet Socialist Americans?
	They're not the happiest crowd, are they?
	So, my friends, I devote an hour a week to happiness.
	This one is going to be difficult for many of you.
	That's why I took a big exhale.
	Because prior to the big exhale, I took a big inhale.
	The issue to talk about today, that I will talk about today, is transparency.
	The more transparent you present yourself, the happier you will be.
	The more you feel you need to hide from others, the less happy you will be.
	Among other reasons is that when you hide, it's an effort.
	It doesn't take much effort to be transparent.
	It takes a lot of effort to hide parts of yourself.
	Another is, by definition, you will be walking around not trusting people.
	Why do you hide?
	things about yourself because of the fear that people will reject you if they knew that.
	That's my subject.
	you Why aren't you transparent?
	I, right before this, discussed the topic with the living martyr.
	Now, you might think because he's the living martyr and he presents an Easter Island, what are they called again?
	Easter Island what?
	Statue?
	That you would think, oh, if he's an Easter Island statue, he must not be transparent.
	But he is as transparent as I am.
	I see right through him, he sees right through me.
	My mom and an Easter Island head in terms of gregariousness and encouragement.
	That was really priceless.
	Only Adam Carolla on Earth could come up with that.
	That is my belief.
	1-8 Prager-776-877-243-7776 So why aren't you transparent?
	That's my question to those of you who are not.
	What are you afraid of?
	You robbed a bank eight years ago?
	I mean, I understand that.
	But I'm very serious.
	I don't relate to the lack of transparency that people aim for.
	My view, I guess, is Look, this is who I am.
	If you reject me, then fine.
	So I'll move on to somebody who will accept me.
	Why would you want to be accepted by people whom you hide from?
	Then you're not being accepted, correct?
	If you're closed, the people who like you, you are almost afraid of.
	Right?
	If I really showed them who I was, then they wouldn't be in my life.
	1-8 Prager-776-877-243-776 This is a very important subject.
	I don't know how you have close friendships if you're not transparent.
	I don't know how you have a good marital relationship if you're not transparent.
	Beautiful trait, worthy of developing.
	It's something that I have realized my whole life, and it's a powerful thing.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	I hope our lines are working here because I don't see anything coming up, so I will just continue.
	Thank you.
	On the happiness hour, it never happens, so I don't know if we have a breakdown of our system.
	This is the, these are the two most important arrows for the phone lines to work.
	It's, it is what it is, right?
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Why would you want to live like that?
	Is it something that you felt as a child?
	When do people develop?
	Are children transparent?
	So you have to really develop.
	You say yes.
	You have to develop being closed.
	It's sort of a conscious decision.
	I mean, there may be children where that's not true, but I don't know how that would be.
	This is truly a significant subject.
	There is no gain in non-transparency because it's sort of like you know you're faking it.
	Really, when you think about it, what is it?
	I would love to know.
	This is one of the great values to me, personally, of doing the radio show.
	Getting to hear from so many people is almost unique.
	I mean, very few people have this opportunity.
	I mean, ironically, every one of you has the opportunity just listening to the show.
	It's the same opportunity I do.
	You really do learn a lot about human beings.
	I would like to know, I mean, ideally, I would like to know, what is it you hide and why?
	Who do you think will reject you?
	I have to believe that that's what it is.
	You know, I'll give you a tiny example.
	When I started radio, I decided if I were interviewing a guest and they said something, And I didn't understand it.
	I just didn't, you know, it was a new subject or something I just didn't understand, or they used a word I didn't understand.
	Would I go, uh-huh, to give the impression to the listeners that I knew exactly what the person was saying?
	Or do I say, I'm sorry, could you explain that to me?
	I mean, that was a conscious decision to be transparent.
	I was not going to hold back from listeners that I was ignorant about something.
	And by the way, that way I learned.
	I've told you this, and it's made of an impact on you.
	It's an amazing thing, the aphorisms in Hebrew that I learned in my religious education from elementary school through high school.
	Must have been a hundred aphorisms, every one of which changed my life.
	There's a very famous one, thousands of years old, a Jewish saying in Hebrew, I'll just tell it to you in English, the easily embarrassed does not learn.
	And I thought, wow, that is brilliant.
	Do you know that is one of the ways I learned the languages that I learned?
	Because I was never afraid to make mistakes in the countries that spoke those languages.
	If people laughed at me, I could handle it.
	But they never laughed at me.
	They laughed with me.
	Do you ever laugh at anybody from a foreign country who speaks English with a mistake?
	Of course not.
	You're just dazzled that they could speak English at all.
	I'm dazzled by that.
	I made a mistake in Hebrew once, which I speak pretty...
	Close to fluently.
	In Hebrew, the word for taxi service and the word for bathroom is the same, or very close.
	They're the same, basically.
	So I walked around the Tel Aviv bus terminal asking, Hey, where are the toilets to Jerusalem?
	And everybody cracked up, and when I learned why, I cracked up too.

	An example would be like a man who maybe likes to view dirty movies or look at women when his wife's not present.
	If he's transparent about that, he's in trouble.
	Well, that's why I have a male-female hour, so that wives won't get their husbands in trouble.
	No, no.
	A lot of men fear opening up about their sexual nature to their wives.
	This is very common and very sad.
	And it's something, it's like saying to your husband, I don't really want to know about you.
	Thank you.
	And so I feel for you about this, but that's why I've waged a battle on behalf of opening up about male sexuality.
	I mean, just watch my video, The Power of the Visual.
	And let me just tell you, my friends, I got this all from my dad.
	My father was an Orthodox Jew.
	He was the president of an Orthodox synagogue.
	And my father was as open about sex to his children, I was one of the two, and to his wife, my mother, as he was about politics or baseball.
	I was raised to know it is part of life.
	Now, if there are people who have religious issues, and I'm not...
	I'm not putting it down.
	I understand.
	My father got Playboy magazine.
	His children, my brother and I, knew it.
	My mother knew it.
	It didn't bother her.
	He was faithful and he loved her.
	They were married 72 years.
	So I just...
	That's how I was raised.
	My father did not hide his nature.
	And my mother loved him.
	Did she love male sexual nature to a certain extent?
	Because she loved the virility of my father.
	I'll never forget when I was dating in my 20s.
	I didn't marry until 32. I was on a date one night.
	I don't think I ever told this story.
	So I was on a date.
	I would say I was about 28. And I never talk trivia on dates.
	It's just because it bores me.
	So we were talking about men and women.
	And she said, I said, what kind of man would you want?
	I said, this is the kind of man I want.
	We were talking about sexual nature, I think.
	And she said, I want a man who has a very strong libido and a strong sexual urge, but that he only wants me.
	And I said something to the effect, good luck.
	It doesn't exist.
	I know I get calls from men.
	Oh, I only want my wife.
	Okay, I don't understand that.
	Men are not made.
	It's like saying, I only want apple pie.
	Okay, it doesn't make sense.
	As great as your love for your wife is, males are made to want many females.
	That is male nature.
	You should be able to say that to your wife.
	And she should figure out a way not to be threatened because you are conquering your nature.
	You have to conquer your nature as a man, and your wife has to conquer her nature as a woman.
	Life is, in a nutshell, conquering our natures.
	But to deny your nature to your own wife, she is asking you to be non-transparent.
	I knew this would come up when I raised the transparency issue.
	I knew it.
	And that's why I didn't know it would come up on that call.
	But I knew it would come up.
	I have another one on that.
	I will do it.
	Sarasota, Florida.
	Phillip.
	And Phillip does not know Mike.
	Hi.
	Pleasure to talk to you.
	Long-time caller.
	Long-time listener.
	First-time caller.
	Thank you.
	I couldn't agree with you more on what you just said.
	It is definitely our nature to want to connect with multiple women.
	I have that nature, no question about it.
	My issue is the fact that I've got some sexual addiction for which I've been to...
	Alright, hold on.
	I want to hear more about that.
	That is a very complex issue, much more complex than drug addiction or alcohol addiction.

	Every Friday, the second hour, is a very big subject, transparency.
	Why aren't you transparent?
	The less transparent you are, the less happy you will be.
	Now, obviously I'm going to take calls on other subjects, but the fact that the first two that I took, and I didn't even know that the first one would be about, it's from a man hiding his sexual nature from his wife.
	So I addressed that, and we have another caller, Sarasota Phillip, Sarasota, Florida.
	Okay, so go ahead.
	Are you married?
	Yes.
	And you've gone to Sexual Addicts Anonymous?
	Yes.
	Great program.
	AAs are all great.
	I learned all the foundational things to keep me healthy, sane, and moving in a productive life.
	My problem is that nature never completely goes away.
	There's always the looking at the neighbor, walking her dog, I used to have a big issue with Internet porn and things like that.
	That part's been cleaned up a lot, but the point is that nature is still with me, and I have not had the courage to go forward to my wife and say, hey, this still bugs me.
	By the way, I did tell her before we got married, I said, look, I've been through a sexual addiction program.
	I feel very good about it.
	I feel very clean and changed.
	But you should know that up front.
	She was fine with it.
	So as far as she's concerned, I'm fine.
	I did what I needed to do and so forth.
	But I can't tell you the number of times that I've said to myself, go and talk to her about this recurring issue and have the courage to live a better life.
	Why don't you show her the video?
	I think I did it, right?
	The power of the visual.
	There are two videos.
	It's easier for you to show her something than for you to speak.
	Because it's always easier to have a stranger.
	I'm the stranger in this case.
	I have two videos up there on behalf of the males of the universe.
	PragerU.
	And one of them is the power of the visual, and the other is he wants you.
	Because it forthrightly deals with the issue of men looking at all these women, but really they want, ultimately, the woman that they love.
	So please show her those and then have a discussion.
	I don't want you to hide your nature.
	I don't want you to obsess over it with her.
	You don't have to.
	I am so incapable.
	I'm truly...
	I admit it.
	I'm incapable of not being transparent.
	I'm transparent to you, so you can only imagine to my wife.
	And she's a remarkable woman.
	And she's extremely rational.
	It's a very rare gift in either sex.
	And she now just gets a kick out of it.
	She will point out some sexy-looking woman when we're...
	You know, like on the road and so on.
	And it's such a relief to me.
	I don't have to hide.
	I mean, of course, I want her.
	I love her.
	But I'm a male.
	You might as well blame me for wanting food.
	All righty.

	Ginger.
	Hello, Ginger.
	Dennis Prager.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Can you hear me?
	I can, perfectly.
	Oh, perfect.
	Perfect.
	Well, I was married for the second time, and I was 59 years old, and I had been sexually abused as a teenager for a few years.
	By whom?
	By a family member.
	By a family member.
	Forgive me, immediate family or an uncle or cousin?
	No, it was immediate, Dennis.
	It was immediate.
	Wow.
	And it shut me down.
	I was a teenager.
	It shut me down.
	And finally, at age 59, I was going to get married for the second time, and I said to my husband, my future husband, that I wanted to be transparent and I wanted to have intimacy with one man before I died.
	I said, I don't know if it's you or not, because we're just meeting for the second time, but this is what I want.
	I'm going to be...
	I'm going to get rid of this old stuff.
	And Dennis, he couldn't handle it.
	He pretended like he could.
	But it took him about 10 years of bringing it up over and over.
	We went to therapy over and over when he would have maybe a glass or two of wine or a martini.
	Oh, God.
	I got to react to that.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Parker.
	Was it hard to get those sound bites from New York?
	No, unfortunately not.
	How long did you have to wait for people to say, the police are disgusting?
	Oh, I mean, every time I stopped somebody, that was what I was getting from people.
	I would say that was probably 70% of the people had that perspective.
	About abolish the police.
	But the second half of that video is the more important part of the video, right?
	The second half of the video is after I've set up these people saying that they want to get rid of the police primarily because they're so abusive to black people.
	I then cut to Harlem and ask people in the street in Harlem and you get the exact inverse reaction.
	Because in Harlem, what do they say if the police disappears?
	Well, they say it's going to be insanity.
	It's going to be crazy.
	Look, they...
	Crime is regressive, right?
	In other words, the people who end up feeling crime the most are people who are poor in urban areas.
	Not the rich, right?
	Even in Manhattan where violence is through the roof, I feel it less, although I see it in my neighborhood, I see it less than somebody does in East Harlem.
	Or in the South Bronx.
	They're the ones who are the recipients of what would happen if the police end up being defunded, abolished, or they leave.
	And again, as easy as it was for me to find people wanting to abolish the police who are white, it was just as easy, maybe easier, to find people who are black saying, this is crazy!
	It's going to be insanity here!

	The first three calls have been male, female, as it happens.
	The subject of the Happiness Hour today is transparency.
	The more transparent you are, the happier you will be.
	And our caller from Pittsburgh spoke about how...
	Her transparency actually was not received well by her second husband.
	Listen, that's correct.
	There are people who can't handle it.
	So then you know they're not people you want to be particularly intimate with.
	I don't mean just sexually intimate, just intimate.
	So that's...
	It's certainly not an argument against transparency, and I don't think she was making one.
	She was saying some people can't handle it.
	Okay.
	If we had more time, I would ask her why she married him in light of that, but I want to take as many calls as I can.
	All righty, everybody.
	Let's go to Greenwood, South Carolina.
	John, hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Good to talk to you today.
	Shabbat shalom.
	Thank you.
	Listen, my premise is this, that we can't be completely transparent, even with ourselves, because we all have innate confirmation bias.
	Are you familiar with that psychological term?
	No.
	Okay.
	Confirmation bias is heavily seen on the left, but everybody is guilty of it.
	Essentially, confirmation bias is this.
	That when we view the world through a filter, and our filter is essentially this, that everything that we see, everything we hear, experience, encounter, confirms what we already believe.
	And so we can't actually talk to each other, and we can't really talk to ourselves on that basis.
	Let me give you an example in you.
	And this is not a criticism, it's just an observation.
	Is this, you start from the premise that masks are dehumanizing to wear in the COVID crisis.
	That's your premise.
	Wait, let me just say, any rational person knows that masks dehumanize.
	It's not an argument against, it has nothing to do with whether they're effective medically.
	These are separate issues.
	I just want people, when I mention that, forgive me, it's very important though.
	When I mention that they're dehumanizing, I mention that in the context of don't think no price is paid.
	It's like the lockdown.
	You might argue for it scientifically, but please do not deny the horrific price to people's lives.
	Suicides, addiction, closed businesses, lost savings.
	So there is a terrible price paid for masks.
	Oh, I don't dispute that.
	Okay, so that's not a confirmation bias because it's not related to the medical question.
	Go ahead.
	Well, I would say actually that it was confirmation bias.
	You read an article, I think it was from the CDC back in May the other day, and you read a line, and I think the living martyr actually caught this, because I caught it in his voice.
	He seemed to be saying, hey, you're reading something that actually contradicts a point that you made earlier.
	He doesn't remember the line, and I don't remember the line.
	Let me just react, though, only because you know I have to take a lot of calls, or as many as possible.
	I try to work against confirmation bias.
	I challenge my views in my mind.
	I have my whole life.
	That is the reason that I am an effective proponent of what I believe, because I have incorporated What the opposition to my views says.
	So, once I have a view, do I look for confirming evidence?
	Yeah, but I also look for non-confirming evidence.
	I look at the death rates or the death numbers all the time to see, well, you know, maybe I'm wrong.
	I don't want people to die needlessly either.
	But, so anyway, look, but I don't think that's a transparency issue.
	You should still speak what you believe to your friends, and then if you are open to hearing them, I'll give you an example none of you would have imagined.
	So, you know, the biggest intellectual work of my life is my Bible commentary.
	I'm on the third volume of the five volumes.
	And it'll be out next year.
	And there are four of us who read the entire commentary aloud.
	We spend a week together, and that is my wife, the editor, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, and Joel Alperson, who is sort of the conductor of the whole orchestra.
	And you should hear the arguments.
	I mean, these are four people with identical values, or virtually identical values.
	And we sometimes get into yelling arguments about the commentary.
	So, that's precisely because I don't want confirmation bias.
	But anyway, it is what it is.
	Thank you.
	And Joe in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	How are you today?
	It's great to hear from you.
	And you are definitely home, Dennis.
	Hope all is well.
	Dennis, the reason why I picked up the phone, we're talking about transparency.
	And I will tell you, suppressing your values is a very empty ceiling.
	I recall in 2009, and I can never forget that year.
	It was the year, of course, it was Barack Obama's first year in office as president.
	And I remember the summer of 2009 and going to the 9-12 march.
	And it awoken me as an American and as an individual because for many years I wanted to be more transparent about faith.
	Family, being pro-life, loving the law.
	Okay, hold on.
	I want to hear the rest of the moment.

	Yesterday, Michael Oren, the longtime Ambassador of Israel to the United States said on this show that the $400 billion deal that the Chinese Communist Party entered into with the mullahs of Iran is a game-changer that nobody noticed in the Middle East.
	It just gave a lifeline to the mullahs who were struggling, and it really declares that the CCP is on the side of the Shia theocrats.
	I don't think that they're on the side of the Shia theocrats.
	I think they're on the side of whatever gives them a short-term gain.
	And a short-term advantage.
	I don't think they have, you know, the U.S. won't go into deals or U.S. won't deal with countries in a lot of instances economically that don't meet certain standards and certain principles.
	With China, there are no standards and there are no principles.
	I'll deal with anybody who's going to give me a leg up.
	I think the Middle Kingdom's view is...
	We are the Middle Kingdom, and everybody else is one degree removed from us, and we don't care what Iran does or what their ambitions are.

	I think they're on their own side.
	They're definitely not on our side.
	And the enemy of our enemy is our enemy.
	Exactly.
	Definitely not on the U.S. side.

	Oh, absolutely.
	And Dennis, I go to church in a town called Neptune, which is next to Asbury Park.
	I'm going to...
	I'm making an assumption.
	I'm going to say it's probably 95% liberal over there.

	You'll lose your reputation.

	Well, you're right.

	I would like to know.
	All right, let's see here.
	Aaron in San Diego has a great point.
	Should unhappy people be transparent?
	That's the opposite of acting happy.
	That's a great challenge to my thesis, right?
	I'm telling people, even if you're unhappy, you should act as happy as you can for others' sake and for your sake.
	No, that's not being non-transparent.
	That was a terrific question, Aaron.
	You should still relate to people that care about you what your sources of unhappiness are.
	That doesn't mean you have to be in a bad mood.
	Who speak of their sadness.
	It's the bad moods that people can't handle.
	And that's what I'm talking about.

	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	But that's nothing.
	I get death threats at 3 a.m.

	It's, you know, it's, as I said when I was in the White House, you're only taking flack when you're over the target.
	I told my, kind of weird, my colleagues didn't get it, especially in the press shot back then.
	There were certain...
	What's the word?
	I won't use it.
	Certain individuals who worked in the White House press office who wanted love and approval from places like CNN and the Washington Post and the New York Times.

	I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm tired of being censored by the liberal tech giants.
	So I'm taking a different approach in using SquadPod, 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 Squad Pod.
	Tell us a little bit about the back story between the mayor and the relationship between the police and the mayor's office and how things are going in Chicago with regards to public safety.
	Well, I mean, before she was elected mayor, she was a police reform, in quotation marks, advocate who promulgated the same line of argumentation that you got from the Obama White House, that police departments, including Chicago, were systemically racist, despite the fact that half of the Chicago Police Department are black or Latino officers.
	Doesn't matter.
	Systemically racist.
	She has, like in so many other places where you see rioters taking control of the streets.
	She has put Chicago police back on their heels.
	And the result of that, as we know, as we know from research from Roland Fryer at Harvard, and as we know from what we see with our eyes in Portland and Seattle and Chicago and New York and Atlanta and L.A., is that you put police back on your heels and you tell that small segment of the population that are violent criminals, repeat violent criminals in most cases, that you have nothing to concern yourself with as it pertains to the police or the state's attorney's office.
	That's important, too.
	Then you have them doing what you're doing, doing what you see them doing, which is running amok.
	I mean, 14 people, 15 people shot at a funeral, and it was laying to rest a gangbanger.
	So one gang is there, the other gang drives by and shoots.
	The gang that was there to honor their fallen brother opens fire, and it's a shootout like you see in a Robert De Niro movie.

	Now, we are told that the president is bungling the response to the coronavirus pandemic and that had he been more competent, hey, listen to his advisors, everything would have been a lot better.
	Well, do you remember the H1N1 virus that the Obama-Biden campaign had to deal with?
	2009?
	Don't ask me why he said this.
	Honestly, don't ask me.
	Don't ask me.

	His name is Ron Klein.
	Listen to this.
	I was in the White House in 2009, 2010.
	I was working for Vice President Biden.
	I wasn't involved directly in the H1N1 response, but I lived through it as a White House staffer.
	And what I will say about it is a bunch of really talented, really great people working on it, and we did every possible thing wrong.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
	He speaks almost as fast as I do.

	Did you say that the Obama administration was full of very talented people, very smart people, that did everything wrong in responding to the H... One in one flu?

	Welcome to the third hour on Friday.
	The third hour on Friday is whatever is on your mind.
	Alright, about you, about me, about life, about death, and of course, audio equipment, photography, cigars, fountain pens, and I have added another, I wouldn't say addiction, it's not there.
	But, uh, passion about watches.
	Anyway, just shows you never know.
	This creeps up on you.
	I know exactly how it happened, by the way.
	Because I always ask myself why I'm doing something.
	So, I don't know if I told you.
	This is, I know why it happened.
	I was at the Daily Wire on Election Day.
	And...
	I was with the great guys at Daily Wire.
	Jeremy Boring, Ben Shapiro, and our man, Michael Knowles.
	Oh yeah, Richard Clavin.
	I mean, sorry, Andrew Clavin.
	That was the crowd.
	So I was their guest on their podcast or videocast.
	And it was over.
	And Ben Shapiro comes over to me.
	He goes, hey, what's that watch?
	I'm explaining how I got...
	I was explaining how did this happen that all of a sudden watches have become a thing.
	No, no, no, I know.
	He doesn't find this interesting, the living martyr.
	No, okay, right, I understand.
	The living martyr might find it interesting.
	He's worried on your behalf and therefore my behalf.
	I could have finished without your worry.
	You want to say something?
	In one minute, you want to give him the microphone, please?
	I'm very curious what you're about to say.
	So I've just been communicating via text with a very close friend, someone you also know well.
	Probably the most devoted baseball fan that I know, and the most knowledgeable baseball fan I know.
	I mean, this is somebody who is really steeped in baseball.
	He just...
	Texted me in big capital letters.
	I'm out.
	Wow.
	I mean, this is someone who's...
	This is not a casual fan.
	This is a truly devoted fan.
	Well, it's no big deal if I say it, because I'm not such a passionate fan.
	I'm out.
	I wish Major League Baseball ill.
	Because they're such cowards, and they've ruined the sport.
	There are many causes in this country that are far, far more morally urgent because there's so little racism in this country.
	It's a fraud, the campaign.
	Baseball, football, and basketball are a gigantic fraud, and they know it.
	The Tampa Bay race sends out a thing.
	That we have to look for the killers of, what was the woman again?
	Breonna Taylor.
	Breonna Taylor.
	And then it's retweeted by the Boston Red Sox?
	They also, just so you know, the Tampa Bay Rays just also tweeted out a map that's...
	A chart starts in 1619, says 248 years of American slavery, and then 80 years of segregation, taking us to the present.
	Taking us to the present?
	Not to the present.
	It goes to past 2000. What does that have to do with anything?
	Who's doing this?
	They're such fools, because Tampa is a conservative city that loves this country.
	I feel for you in Tampa.
	You know, I've always said, you've heard me say it's in many ways my favorite city.
	So these frauds who run the Tampa Bay Rays should be subjected to the consequences of their behavior.
	You cannot root for the Tampa Bay Rays at this time.
	Maybe in some other incarnation, or if the owners are told to quit, sell the team to decent human beings.
	Crapping on America is not going to get you anywhere in Tampa Bay.
	Maybe in New York it's a big deal.
	Washington.
	Keep crapping on America, but not in Tampa.
	Anyway, so Ben Shapiro asked me about...
	You thought you would, didn't you?
	Asked me about my watch.
	Now, we started talking about watches.
	He's into it, and for some reason, it just got me more interested.
	All righty, everybody.
	And let's go to your calls here.
	Oh, yes, I told Emanuel in Downey, California, to call this hour.
	I'm glad you got in.
	Hi there, Emanuel.
	How you doing, Mr. Prager?
	Okay, thank you.
	Thank you for having me.
	I'm a big-time fan.
	I love listening to you.
	I love your rationality, and it's a pleasure to talk to you.
	If you love my rationality, you are my kind of guy.
	No doubt.
	What I'm calling about is, I'm a black man, 54 years old, and I've never been deeply into politics, but recent years I've found myself really getting into it because I understand the country is...
	I had a fork in the road, all of this craziness that's going on.
	And for the longest I've always been a Democrat because my family, my culture, Black folks, they default to Democrats.
	And recently I had a revelation and I looked at everything and I realized, like, that's just crazy.
	I'm a conservative, you know?
	And I believe in conservatism.
	I believe in the Republican ideology.
	All of it.
	I love America.
	I love my country.
	But one thing I wanted to bring to the table is, I'm looking at this from a...
	From a perspective of a black person who's grown up in L.A. all his life.
	And, you know, this racism thing.
	For one, I don't care about this racist stuff.
	I don't even use that word.
	When I grew up, it was prejudice.
	We didn't call everybody racist.
	You can have a prejudice person and you deal with them and so forth.
	But we never call people racist.
	It's a very intelligent distinction.
	Go ahead.
	Thank you.
	But what I wanted to bring to you, Mr. Prager, was the fact that...
	As black people, I don't think sometimes we articulate our angst too well.
	We're very emotional and we respond to a lot of things, but we don't think and articulate what we're truly trying to say.
	And I think this is what a lot of people are frustrated with from a black perspective.
	I think sometimes America, the branding of America, it kind of insults us or makes us feel bad over a period of time where anything that has the word America in it and they have to visualize it.
	As far as people go, it's mostly white people represent America.
	For example, the World Trade Center, when it fell, and we went through all of that, and everybody was upset, including black people, those who love America.
	And then they built a memorial, and then they built a statue at the memorial.
	It was no black person included.
	Wait, wait, wait, forgive me.
	I got up to the very last sentence.
	I understood everything.
	There was no black man included in what?
	The statue that they built for the memorial in New York?
	I'm not familiar, frankly.
	What is it a statue of?
	It was of people, first responders, I believe.
	The people who, you know, the Resolve of America.
	So it's a statue of first responders, so there are multiple people in the statue?
	Yes.
	And they were all, the statue is clearly depicting white people?
	Well, there was no African-American people, and people were complaining.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	No, no.
	I'm not arguing at all.
	I'm trying to understand, because statues, I don't know if you can make out race in a statue.
	So, because there's no color in a statue.
	Right, I understand that.
	So how do you know none of them...
	I have to look at the statue.
	But let's...
	Okay, anyway...
	Okay, my point is...
	Yeah.
	My point is, over a period of time, I think what the frustration is, is that black people feel like they're not really truly part of America.
	Right.
	Oh, I believe that...
	Yes, I believe that.
	Well, not all black people.
	You, obviously, and Larry Elder.
	Millions do.
	But most don't.
	I agree with you.
	We'll be back in a moment.

	I got a phone call some years ago from the then Republican mayor of Los Angeles, California.
	Can you believe we had a Republican mayor at one point?
	His name is, he's still alive, Richard Reardon.
	He went to University of Michigan, as did I. So he calls me.
	I didn't know who he was.
	I mean, we'd never spoken before.
	And he wanted me to come down to City Hall to have a meeting with him, to meet with him.
	And he wanted to discuss how he could Improve his support in the black community because I think he got 5% or so of the black vote.
	And I said, I'm happy to come down there and I'll give you advice, but I'm sure you won't take it.
	He laughed.
	He thought I was joking.
	I was not joking.
	I went down.
	And he told me that he has donated all sorts of money to the black community, donated computers to inner city schools.
	He's done this.
	He's done this.
	He set up this fund.
	He's been this.
	And he's done all these things and still he cannot get arrested from black voters.
	What am I doing wrong?
	He said.
	I said, you aren't doing anything wrong.
	I said, if I were you, I'd go on TV and have a press conference.
	And I would say, what you just now told me, all the things you've done.
	And then I would ask, why is it that you cannot get black support?
	And I would say, the more I think about it, the more I think the problem is not me.
	Maybe the problem is you.
	Maybe the problem is your assumption, your beliefs, that Republicans, no matter who they are, what they are, are racist and don't care about you.
	Your belief.
	That programs that you've supported have not had negative effects when in fact they've had.
	And I went on and on and on and I spoke for about five minutes pretty passionately and he looked at me and he said, I can't say any of that.
	I said, I told you I could give you advice and you wouldn't take it.
	Very short meeting.
	Good guy though.
	Wish I had a vaccine for white guilt.

	The black American community has been taken for granted by the Democratic Party for 50 And I really think finally we have enough reality and history to look at that people are saying something's not working.
	I may be open to something else.
	We've arrived at that moment and it seems a perfect time for the film.
	You've said that black people have been taken for granted.
	I think you're stating it kindly.
	Black people have been manipulated and used and made worse off because of left-wing policies.
	Policies that reward a woman to marry the government, allows men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility.
	Policies that will not allow an inner-city parent to get his or her kid out of a bad, underperforming, nearby government school.
	I think I've told you, I went to Crenshaw High School, which is a high school...
	That was in the center of that movie, Boys in the Hood.
	Right now, according to an LA Times article, only 3% of kids at my high school can do math at grade level.
	And the school is a Crip school, meaning that it's run by the gang called the Crips.
	The reason I know that is because Ice-T went to my high school years after I did and told me he selected Crenshaw High School because he wanted to go to a high school where the Crips ran the school.
	Now, you're a parent living within that geographical area.
	One party, the Democratic Party, is mandating that you send your daughter who just graduated from middle school to that school where only 3% of kids can do math at grade level and there's a crip school.
	And one party, the Republican Party, wants to give that inner-city parent an option.
	Why are we even having a conversation about which party is the better party for blacks?
	If education is the route to the middle class, and if education is that both Democrats and Republicans say the 21st century civil rights issue, then why are you not allowing parents the option to opt out of a bad, underperforming government school?

	Alright, this is Dennis Prager.
	See that?
	I've learned to say it.
	So it's an interesting question.
	I should devote an hour to that.
	That many blacks don't feel fully American.
	My view is that that is a choice people make.
	If you want to feel fully American, the rest of America wants you to feel fully American.
	It is a choice you make.
	Nobody wants blacks.
	No one who feels strongly American wants blacks not to feel fully American.
	No one.
	That was a very important call.
	It was a good man, a conservative black.
	But I think that you have...
	I've accepted the notion that I don't accept.
	And that is that blacks are acted upon and are not actors.
	This is the current thinking.
	I wrote my last column, it's called The Dehumanization of Blacks.
	It's what the left has done.
	Black people are not real people.
	They're just black.
	The people who have un-Americanized blacks, Is the left.
	That's the irony.
	You're black before anything.
	Before human.
	Because if you say there's only one race, the human race, that's considered racist.
	You are black before you are human.
	You are certainly black before you are American.
	Well, if you believe that, then you're not going to feel very American, are you?
	It's a choice one makes.
	Everything is a choice.
	I've said very often that if you're black and you want to get love, come to any Republican meeting.
	You'll get a lot of love.
	All right, Sherry in Santa Clarita, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, how are you?
	I'm well, thank you.
	So, I wanted to thank you, Mr. Prager, for your Back the Blue campaign.
	A little history on me.
	My husband served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for 33 years.
	I have a 30-year-old son who is on LAPD, and I have a 27-year-old son who is with Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
	And with what's going on today and my fear for my son, I appreciate your voice in defending them.
	Well, yes, thank you for mentioning that.
	God bless your family.
	I, let's see, I talked, my last fireside chat, the one up this week is about, it opens up my talking about police.
	And we do have a Back the Blue campaign you could sign, and we'd love to give as many names as possible.
	It's at PragerU.com.
	I'm glad you know about it.
	That's important to us.
	It's the hardest job in America.
	It might be harder than being President of the United States.
	They always say that's the hardest job.
	I think being a policeman is harder.
	No chokeholds, for example.
	A human being who wants to wrestle you, fight you, get your gun and shoot you, but you can't put a chokehold on him.
	And to know at any given moment the exact amount of force to be used?
	Yeah.
	It would have to be decided by a computer, and the computer would probably be wrong.
	All righty, everybody.
	All righty.
	Dee Dee in Walhalla, South Carolina.
	Hi.
	Hello.
	You keep me rolling, man.
	You make me laugh until I can't stand it.
	I agree with you on everything, virtually, except the Playboy thing.
	Right.
	Well, you know what?
	I wish my dad, whom you would have loved, I wish he was here.
	Yeah, well, let me tell you.
	My husband and I were both raised by widows.
	My daddy drowned when I was four.
	His daddy had a heart attack when he was 11, and we were raised by mothers who did not remarry.
	She dated and such.
	My mother never dated or looked at another man.
	We were raised very conservatively in what I call a holiness Baptist faith.
	Went to church every time the doors were opened.
	But nobody talked to me about sex.
	Nobody.
	And I even missed it at school when they had to talk.
	So when I married my husband at 18 and he was 20, you can imagine what a ridiculous honeymoon we have.
	And so we've had a lot of rocky times.
	We've been married 50 years now.
	Hold it on by a thread.
	I'm curious.
	How is it today?
	Oh, great.
	We've always had an open conversation, but I just totally disagree with him, and he totally disagreed with me.
	And it's very similar in politics as well.
	He doesn't vote at all.
	I vote as conservatively as I know how.
	It's funny.
	He was a musician, and I loved rock and roll, so I married him because I loved rock and roll, but I had no clue about the marriage bed, etc.
	So it was really hilarious.
	Our honeymoon was a joke.
	But we held on by a thread.
	We had three children, and they're wonderful people.
	They all have good jobs.
	They believe in working.
	All right.
	Listen, you are one of those people I want to meet one day.
	You are what I call a live wire.
	I'm a live wire, so it's a compliment.
	I mean, it's not a compliment just because I'm a live wire, but I just want you to know that.
	I would consider me too.
	Anyway, it would have been great.
	I wonder if I did raise that subject with my father.
	This is something I did for about, I don't know, 10 years, right?
	Maybe more.
	Every year on his birthday, I'd have my dad on for an hour.
	We didn't play one this year, because July 18th was on a weekend.
	But we will resume next year, God willing.
	And if I could, I would have asked him, so Dad, how did you justify getting Playboy, and what did Mom think?
	And the reason I'd ask is, I pretty much know the answer, but I would want him to say it for your sake.

	Oh And the Uyghur concentration camps is beginning to break through.
	As the repression of Hong Kong has broken through, as have the claims in the South China Sea.
	From 1989 until very recently, a generation has been educated in the idea that the end of history, Francis Fukuyama, it's all coming together.
	It's not all coming together.
	It's coming head to head between the CCP and the U.S., with Russia and Iran as kind of, you know, agents of influence of the CCP, but it really is West versus East now.
	It is West versus East, and you see China, whereas before it would kind of, you know, do its foreign policy that often was, you know, against U.S. foreign policy in a very quiet, covert way.
	Now you see China being much more bold, and you even see diplomats.
	You know, we've talked a lot about these diplomatic warriors.
	That are going off and really speaking against the United States.
	And you've seen this, you know, I wouldn't even call it a Cold War.
	I'd call it a kind of open war of rhetoric when you saw China blaming, you know, after, of course, after President Trump really started hitting China for its actions on the coronavirus, started saying that the U.S. brought the virus to China.
	And it's not just the US. China is really hitting back against anybody that criticizes them.
	Chinese diplomats around the world have taken a much more aggressive stance to countries that criticize them.

	Folks, I'm talking to my friend Larry Elder who has a nationally syndicated radio program, but big deal.
	Who doesn't have one of those, right?
	Larry, honestly, I gotta say, your film Uncle Tom, spectacular as it is, is part of something larger that is happening in this country.
	It seems to me that a lot of blacks in America...
	Are finally waking up, thanks to you and others, and they're looking around and they're saying, I have been sold a bill of goods.
	For example, even I didn't really know the history that the Republican Party was formed to end slavery and that the Democrats were the proponents, not just of slavery, but of keeping blacks down, of the KKK. The Republican Party's whole reason for existence was to stop the spread of slavery and ultimately to end it.
	And you're quite right.
	Democrats founded the KKK. I said that once on Fox News.
	I got fact checked.
	And the fact checker said, Larry Elder said the Democratic Party founded the KKK, when in fact, Larry Elder didn't say that.
	Larry Elder said Democrats founded the KKK, which is objectively true.
	Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment unanimously.
	And as a percentage of the party, more Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 64 than did Democrats.
	And what you get in response to that, Eric, is, well, in the mid-60s, en masse, they switched sides.
	All the racists left the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party.
	A couple problems with that.
	First of all, look at all of the Democrats that voted against the Civil Rights Act of 64 in the Senate and ask yourself.
	How many of them switched?
	Answer one, Strom Thurmond.
	Ask yourself the same question about the House.
	How many Democrats switched?
	One whose name I can't even remember.

	Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children.
	We'll see you next time.
	Oh, Dennis Prager here.
	Now, was I answering a call there or are we moving on?
	I think we're moving on.
	All right.
	Greg, Orange Park, Florida.
	Hello.
	Hey, Mr. Fraggers.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Thank you.
	I'm black, and I'm 35, and I feel fully American.
	I mean, I got a couple of white friends, but most of my friends are black.
	I got one white uncle, but everybody else in my family is black.
	And all the black people I know feel American.
	We just enjoy our lives.
	We're doing what we do.
	We go to work.
	We come home, shoot some ball, you know, play some video games.
	You know, we feel American.
	I have never heard anybody but my dad say he doesn't feel fully American.
	He's 80 years old.
	He's got a lot of bitterness from the civil rights movement, which is totally understandable.
	But he's the only person in my life I ever heard say, You know, you don't feel fully admitted.
	This is a racist country.
	So I don't know what the other dude was talking about, but I wish people would stop speaking for me and saying black people feel this and black people feel that.
	Why don't you say some black people that I know feel this way?
	Don't just say black people because it's like it's a hundred million of us, man.
	So anyway, that's all I had to say.
	Well, not a hundred million, but yeah.
	It's a very important call.
	I thought his call was important too, so I'm not commenting on him, but I could say for me, I did say some.
	But in any event, I think it's an issue for more blacks than you might think.
	Let me ask you, do you think Al Sharpton feels strongly American?
	Uh, yeah.
	Yeah, I do.
	I think he's living the American dream.
	No, no, no.
	That's a separate issue.
	That's a separate issue.
	Off of race hustling.
	Yeah, right.
	And he pretends like he doesn't feel fully American, because that's part of how he makes his money.
	Oh, wait.
	So, if he pretends that he doesn't feel American because he thinks it's profitable, then doesn't that make a statement about how popular that idea is?
	Yeah, and so what I'm saying is a lot of people...
	Who is it, forgive me, who is it popular among?
	It's among black people.
	Right, okay.
	So then there is a significant segment of blacks who don't feel fully American.
	No, well, I'm disagreeing.
	I'm saying there's a huge amount of black people who say they don't feel fully American because if I played a victim, I'd get more stuff.
	I teach school.
	So if a kid gets kicked out of class, he knows if he says the teacher is racist, he'll probably get back in class and not get, you know.
	So just because I say I don't feel fully American doesn't mean I really believe that.
	I just know it's advantageous for me to say that in order for me to get what I'm trying to get.
	It's leverage.
	All right.
	I can't comment because it's hard to know.
	People really feel.
	I can only react to how people speak and act.
	And Nicole agrees that many blacks act like they don't feel fully American, but it's just an act, like Sharpton.
	But people act in a way that clearly makes them popular.
	They wouldn't act in a way that rendered them a pariah.
	They must be appealing to somebody in their non-American-ness.
	Look, I hope my caller is right.
	I do.
	Okay.
	Frankfurt, Illinois.
	Jim, hello.
	Hi, Mr. Prager.
	It's an honor and a pleasure to talk with you.
	Thank you so much.
	So I just had an experience an hour ago with mask wearing.
	A little bit of info on me.
	I'm a union carpenter.
	I work predominantly in Chicagoland area, suburbs and such.
	And we're doing a department store build-out.
	It's a one-story, probably a 40,000-square-foot facility.
	And the rule...
	On the job is that, and this rule just started last week, is that everybody must wear a mask while working.
	Is that a rule from the government or from your company?
	It's not a rule from my company.
	So we are a subcontractor and we work for a general contractor.
	So it's a rule from the general contractor.
	All right.
	Stay on with me.
	I want to hear what happened.
	Relief factor.
	Makes an offer to you based on a very interesting proposition that you will know in only three weeks whether or not it works.
	You don't need more time to figure it out.
	So they have a special price for three weeks worth of relief factor.
	It's called the three-week quick start and it's $19.95.
	Pretty good!
	And then you will know within three weeks if it works.
	And if it works, you get it at a regular price.
	And if it doesn't work, you say, no thank you.
	Apparently 70% of the people find that it works in three weeks.
	That's an amazing thing.
	If 40% thought it works, it would be amazing.
	Because if you have a good chance of getting rid of pain, I don't see why you wouldn't take it.

	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.

	Thank you.
	Well, do you remember the H1N1 virus that the Obama-Biden campaign had to deal with?
	Don't ask me why he said this.
	Honestly, don't ask me.
	Don't ask me.
	But this guy is an advisor to the Joe Biden campaign.
	His name is Ron Klein.
	And he is explaining how the Obama administration responded to the 2009 swine flu crisis.
	Now again, he is a top Biden advisor.
	His name is Ron Klein.
	Listen to this.
	I was in the White House in 2009, 2010.
	I was working for Vice President Biden.
	I wasn't involved directly in the H1N1 response, but I lived through it as a White House staffer.
	And what I will say about it is a bunch of really talented, really great people working on it, and we did every possible thing wrong.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	He speaks almost as fast as I do.
	Slow down, slow down.
	Did you say that the Obama administration was full of very talented people, very smart people that did everything wrong in responding to the H... One in one flu?
	Say that?
	You mean like after the epidemic, a safety equipment industry association recommended that depleted supplies of N95 respirator masks be replenished?
	But that didn't happen?
	And what I will say about it is a bunch of really talented, really great people working on it, and we did every possible thing wrong.

	Page 85. The next pope must be willing to remove from office bishops whose personal behavior has become a countersign to the gospel or an edict.
	Not the state, not the city, but the company or the contractor to the subcontractor.
	You must wear a face mask on the construction site.
	Is that correct?
	That is correct, yeah.
	Right.
	And what prompted that, do you know?
	I mean, if it wasn't done from the state or city, what prompted it?
	I think because of the scare that's going on right now in the country, you know, with everybody making mandatory face masks.
	So what happened?
	So I was working on a lift, a lift that takes you up and down in the building by myself.
	I was probably about 12 feet in the air.
	I was completely by myself.
	The next closest guy to me was probably 100 feet away.
	There's probably about 30 people working on this job.
	Everybody has the mask, but it's around their neck.
	It's not over their face.
	It's around their neck.
	So nobody's wearing a mask.
	But the man, the superintendent for the general contractor, came up to me, singled me out.
	He asked me where my mask was at.
	And I told him, I said, my mask, I didn't have it around my neck because I was on a lift and I was up high.
	I told him, my mask is right here in my tools, and I showed it to him.
	And he told me, where should it be?
	And he was very condescending.
	And I told him, I understand it should be around my mouth.
	I said, but, you know, there's nobody around me.
	I'm so supposed to think.
	And, you know, there's really no risk.
	And that was really all he needed to hear.
	To the foreman on the job that I was working with and told the foreman to kick me.
	He wanted me off the job.
	He kicked me off of the job.
	And this happened an hour and a half ago.
	It was just now.
	So I got kicked off the job.
	I was demonized for not wearing a mask.
	And he said he wanted to make an example of me.
	So had you had it around your neck, it would have been okay?
	Probably, yes.
	yeah well what has happened in many cases here in America like with the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles petty people have been given tremendous power And that's a terrible combination of midgets with power.
	That's this guy there.
	I'm going to make an example.
	He's 100 feet away from people.
	See, when reason is knocked out, common sense is considered subversive, you're in trouble.
	Guys working on a site, I mean, they're going to kill each other with COVID? You know what it's like to work physically with a mask over your nose and mouth?
	Anyway, folks, you're on an airplane, right?
	You can take it off while you're eating or drinking.
	Why isn't everybody dying?
	Flights should be death chambers.
	Because everybody eats or drinks at some point in the flight.
	We live with enormous lies in our lives.
	I read to you the CDC report on masks, and it doesn't matter.
	Okay, I'm sorry to hear your story.
	A petty man with a lot of power is a dangerous thing.
	Norman in Freefort, Florida.
	Hello, Norman.
	Well...
	Good afternoon, Dennis Prager, and it's a pleasure to speak to you.
	And the first thing I want to say to you is I think you are my modern-day Solomon.
	Thank you.
	Well, he had a thousand wives, I didn't.
	So you didn't mean it that way.
	That's okay, but he also was blessed with wisdom.
	Right, I know.
	I'm happy to isolate it to the wisdom part.
	Anyways, the reason why I called in, I was responding to the gentleman that just called previously that talked about some black not feeling American.
	And I just kind of thought that it was ironic that what might be pushing some of this agenda is all the white leftists.
	Because when you watch the protests on TV, most of the people you see are white.
	That's entirely accurate.
	In fact, leftists don't feel particularly American because all leftists around the world hate America.
	So I've always said it's a little pushing logic beyond its bounds.
	The left outside of America hates America, but the left inside America loves America?
	Please, isn't it obvious now?
	I mean, if you tear down Washington and Jefferson statues, you loathe this country.
	Of course, the left loathes America.
	Liberals may love America.
	Conservatives tend to love America.
	But leftists?
	White or black.
	And they have raised a generation that doesn't.
	That's very scary, and it's going to be worse.
	With the 1619 curriculum in schools, in thousands of schools.
	If your school teaches your kid the 1619 lie about how America was founded, you should take your kid out of the school.
	I know it's very hard if you do, because where are you going to put your kid?
	But that is the only way to counteract the anti-American propaganda that they will be given in schools around this country.
	All right.
	Got a lot of calls on that subject.
	That's a very interesting thing.
	William in San Antonio, hello.
	Hey Dennis, how are you?
	Good, thank you.
	Great.
	I am calling because I don't know where else to turn.
	I'm getting tired of the name Karen being used as a pejorative.
	My wife's first name is Karen.
	She's gotten to a point where she's afraid to tell people what her name is.
	Oh my god, that's really sad.
	I can't tell you.
	Can you imagine if that were done to any other group?
	If your name were Pedro?
	Or if your name was Deshaun?
	I mean, can you imagine that?
	Anything can be said with regard to whites.
	But that's not racist.

	Folks, I'm talking to my friend Larry Elder, who has a nationally syndicated radio program, but big deal.
	Who doesn't have one of those, right?
	We all do.
	Honestly, I gotta say, your film Uncle Tom, spectacular as it is, is part of something larger that is happening in this country.
	It seems to me that a lot of blacks in America are finally waking up, thanks to you and others, and they're looking around and they're saying, I have been sold a bill of goods.
	For example, even I didn't really know the history that the Republican Party was formed to end slavery.
	And that the Democrats were the proponents, not just of slavery, but of keeping blacks down, of the KKK. The Republican Party's whole reason for existence was to stop the spread of slavery and ultimately to end it.
	And you're quite right.
	Democrats founded the KKK. I said that once on Fox News.
	I got fact checked.
	And the fact checker said, Larry Elder said the Democratic Party founded the KKK, when in fact...
	Larry Elder didn't say that.
	Larry Elder said Democrats founded the KKK, which is objectively true.
	Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment unanimously.
	And as a percentage of the party, more Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act before than did Democrats.
	And what you get in response to that, Eric, is, well, in the mid-60s, en masse, they switched sides.

	Everything our country has stood for.
	You couldn't do this anywhere else in the world.
	Come from where I've been to where I'm at now.
	And the fears now, I mean, look at all these things that have gone on in these Democrat cities and in my home state of Minnesota and Minneapolis with all this poor leadership that's bringing us down a path for the last 50 years, bringing us down this path away from what this great country was founded on.
	You know, our new slogan should be keep America free, you know?

	How much will sports change because of current politics?

	What do you think?
	Hey, Dennis.
	How you doing?
	First of all, big fan.
	Big fan of PragerU.
	Great, great.
	You know, sports come back.
	Baseball came back.
	Just watched a game last night before it got rained out.
	And I started watching it.
	I'm going to be honest.
	I'm not happy with what I saw.
	And what's happening now is I think what happened to Hollywood and really network television and when it's becoming more about virtue singling and who can be the most woke, And these big, you know, teams just pandering for, like, diversity and just political correctness.
	So you think most people your age feel as you do?
	I think most people my age don't really care, but, like, I think a lot of people don't really understand, like, sports, like, for example, like, baseball, you know, America's pastime.
	People watch baseball to get away from the politics.
	That's right.
	People watch baseball to watch a game, have fun.
	That's right.
	I've got to let you go because of the time, but yes, that's exactly right, Elijah.
	Spread the word.
	The left has robbed you in America of sports, like they robbed us of late-night TV, of the arts, and of universities, now high schools.
	Yes, indeed.
