	Thank you.
	Attorney General Barr.
	Shame on you at the end.
	And you know what the alleged shame of the Attorney General is?
	The reason that the DOJ is sending in people to Try to stem some of the violence against federal property and officers is to help the Trump re-election campaign.
	So it's the official Democratic Party position not to send in federal troops to guard against the destruction of federal property, the federal courthouse.
	That to do so is a deliberate effort of the Department of Justice's part to get involved in politics so as to re-elect the president.
	The culture of truth is not a left-wing value.
	Mr. Nadler exemplifies that rule.
	The shame is on him and his party.
	You'll find this of interest, my dear listeners.
	My last column, well actually my latest column is up today.
	Anti-Americanism is the new anti-Semitism.
	You'll find it very interesting.
	I'll talk about that later.
	But last week's column, five arguments against The charge that America is a racist society.
	It was printed in the Jewish Journal, among many other places.
	So, the editor of the journal forwarded me a letter that he received from a man who said that if they print Dennis Prager, he will cancel his subscription and urge all others in his life to cancel their subscription.
	So, of course, there were no arguments.
	It was just the existence of a Dennis Prager in a Jewish journal is just not tolerable.
	No one who differs with the left should be published, and especially an effective spokesman, which I am.
	I demolish the phoniness.
	Of that cause.
	It is communism under a new name.
	That's all it is.
	Not liberalism, leftism.
	So anyway, I told the editor, tell the man I invite him on to my radio show.
	He can tell millions of people why I am unworthy of being published in the Jewish Journal.
	Now, if you were a betting man, Living Martyr, would you bet that he'd come on?
	It's an interesting question.
	You bet he wouldn't.
	I'll bet he was shocked.
	All right, look, you know why.
	You folks, you listeners, have heard me say often, when people write utterly irrational, hate-filled things, God, would I love to interview them, right?
	I always say that, and it's true.
	I'd love to interview any of these protesters.
	Not protest.
	Well, yes, any of the protesters and any of the rioters.
	A distinction that the Democrats are seeking to obliterate.
	I would love to interview these people.
	Now, are you ready for a thought?
	Here's a thought.
	I'll use you because you don't know what I'm about to say.
	When the left points to countries that do better than the United States for its people, whom do they choose?
	Name countries that they pick as examples of a better society than America.
	Denmark, Sweden, Norway.
	Right?
	What is the percentage of white people in those countries?
	95%?
	Why isn't it racist?
	The best countries in the world are almost all white, according to the left.
	If that's not under their definition of racism, racist, I don't know what is.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	You see, let me explain something what the left has done.
	The left wants to destroy this country and its founders, and it always has.
	The world left has hated America, as I've said, for decades, and the American left is no different.
	So they say diversity is our strength, right?
	The more diverse, ethnically, racially, the United States is, the better, correct?
	Diversity is a blessing.
	To which I've always answered, it's only a blessing if they unite as Americans.
	Otherwise, it could spell the end of the society as one United States.
	So what it turns out is diversity is a blessing to the left because that way they can Rip asunder the United States.
	If they wanted to Americanize, which I would like to do, everyone, of every color, of every ethnicity, of every nationality, of every religion, I would like everyone to identify as American.
	To stand up for the flag of the United States of America.
	And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
	But they don't want to do that.
	So this grand experiment in the most diverse country in the world is going to fail if the left succeeds.
	Diversity is a blessing.
	Only if you believe in e pluribus unum from many one.
	Anyway, next time your left-wing cousin, brother-in-law, raises Denmark, Sweden, Norway, say, you know, they're 95% white.
	Isn't that a racist thing of you to point out that these all-white countries are the best ones?
	Just a thought.
	1-8 Prager 776. Michael Walsh, who's just a terrific thinker.
	Matt Walsh.
	Oh, yeah, so this is Matt who did this?
	Yeah, okay, I'm sorry.
	They're both terrific.
	Matt Walsh at the Daily Wire.
	I looked up every case of an unarmed black man shot by cops in 2019. Here's the truth the left is hiding.
	Okay.
	First, to put the statistics into perspective, it's helpful to begin with the overall number of arrests.
	According to the Department of Justice, police make about 10 million arrests each year.
	As a rough average, 7 million of the arrested suspects are white, and 3 million are black.
	Out of that number last year, 25 unarmed white people were killed by police, compared to 14 unarmed black people.
	According to the Washington Post database of police shootings, that means about.0004% of all blacks arrested were killed while unarmed.
	The percentage of four whites is comparable.
	In total, 1,000 people were shot and killed by police in 2019, the vast majority of whom were armed.
	Still, that's a mere.01% of all arrests.
	Now, the numbers aren't exactly the same every year, of course.
	For example, the post says 22 unarmed black people were killed in 2017, compared with 31 white people.
	But the percentages don't change very much.
	Also, we should acknowledge that the numbers vary depending on what source you use.
	USA Today cites a crowdsourced database that has 25 unarmed blacks.
	Killed in 2019. However, a look at the individual cases in that database shows that they count as police shootings any shooting involving a police officer on or off duty.
	We're going to put this up.
	You will have every single unarmed black the story.
	Briefly up.
	It's from the Daily Wire.
	The Dennis Prager Show.
	live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	At every turn, it seems like there are more unanswered questions and few honest explanations it seems like there are more unanswered questions and few honest explanations about why so many of our liberties are 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 than 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.
	Some of the things he said about President Trump being racist.
	It's just unreal.
	This is a man, Joe Biden, who has lied and said that the NAACP has endorsed him when the NAACP came out and said, excuse me, we're a 501c3 corporation.
	We can't endorse anybody.
	Oops.
	Lied about trying to visit Nelson Mandela and getting arrested in his attempt.
	He said he was with Andrew Young.
	Andrew Young was the first black ambassador to the United Nations.
	Marched with MLK, was there when MLK was shot at that motel in Tennessee.
	And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, and nope.
	And I've told you Biden has for decades.
	Talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware.
	Zero evidence he ever did.
	Now why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of black people?
	What it shows you is he thinks of black people as stupid.
	Obviously not capable of investigating these false claims.
	And by the way, as props.
	I'll just show you how much I care.
	How much I care.
	How much I care.
	Never mind my policies are hurtful.
	Never mind I'm going to oppose choice in schools even though urban parents want that.
	Never mind I'm going to advocate a bigger and bigger welfare state even though dependencies creates fatherless households.
	Never mind.

	There are about 700 Uyghurs, mostly women, who are forced to make sneakers for a company that is a long-term supplier for the company that we know as Nike.
	Hang on, hang on.
	I don't want anybody to miss this.
	So there is a slave labor camp where they make sneakers.
	And that company feeds its products into the factories that make sneakers for Nike, Gordon?
	Yeah, this is a Nike supplier.
	So Nike works directly with a company that maintains what is a camp.
	It's got high walls, barbed wire, watchtowers, and really looks like a small concentration camp.
	It is a factory.
	This company has had a relationship with Nike for over three decades.
	This particular facility makes 8 million pairs of shoes a year, almost all of them for Nike.
	Nike says in a statement that it doesn't use forced or indentured labor, but indeed we know that it does, because Washington Post reporting from both March and February of this year, after Nike's statement on this subject...

	And how did she react?
	One of the most powerful videos we've ever put out.
	The latest video from Prager University.
	See it at PragerU.com where we teach what isn't taught.
	All right, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Matt Walsh at The Daily Wire.
	Looked up every case of an unarmed black killed by a policeman in 2019. A grand total, by the way, out of 10 million arrests.
	It is an astonishingly small number, if you actually care about truth and morality.
	Right, no, no, that's the point.
	That's his point.
	Unarmed doesn't mean not attacking, not aggressive.
	So again, the number which he got from the Washington Post is 25 unarmed whites were killed, 14 unarmed blacks.
	This country is having convulsions created by the left over that number.
	It is truly evil.
	I looked up all 14 cases included in the Post 2019 database.
	A few are straightforwardly unjustified.
	A Tatiana Jefferson was shot while sitting inside her mother's home.
	The officer, by the way, has been charged with murder there.
	Officer Carmen DeCruz in Texas fatally shot a man named Michael Dean.
	Body cam footage apparently shows that DeCruz accidentally discharged his firearm while trying to confiscate Dean's car keys during a traffic stop.
	DeCruz has been charged with manslaughter.
	Both of these cases are clearly unjustified and both officers have received criminal charges.
	Most of the rest of the cases, however, are either far from clear-cut or clear-cut in the other direction.
	Christopher Whitfield was shot allegedly during a scuffle with police after trying to steal from a convenience store.
	A grand jury cleared the officer of any criminal wrongdoing.
	Joseph Richardson of Louisiana was shot by Officer Vance Montrenga during a no-knock drug raid at a Budget 7 motel.
	Richardson was unarmed and shot in the back of the head.
	Deputies on the scene said Richardson turned and reached for his waistband.
	Matranga was not charged.
	Officer Giovanni Crespo was indicted for aggravated manslaughter for shooting Gregory C. Griffin during a car chase.
	Crespo says he thought Griffin pointed a gun at him.
	Body cam footage shows Crespo jump out of his police cruiser.
	Another officer was driving and fire multiple shots at the fleeing police.
	Officer Sum Kim shot and killed Jimmy Atchison while trying to arrest him for allegedly stealing a cell phone at gunpoint.
	Atchison was backed into a broom closet at the time of the shooting.
	These six shootings range from outrageous to questionable, but they are still only six out of the approximately three million black suspects arrested in 2019. Half of the officers have been charged with crimes.
	So it's not as though cops are even given legal license to kill on a whim.
	Only one of these cases is murder.
	Two might be manslaughter.
	You could potentially make an argument for manslaughter in the other three cases, though the officers weren't charged or were cleared.
	At any rate, in none of these cases is there any reason whatsoever to suspect white supremacy is a motivation.
	The last officer mentioned isn't even white.
	And what about the other eight unarmed shootings in 2019?
	This is where the unarmed designation really confuses matters.
	Melvin Watkins was shot by a sheriff's deputy after Watkins' family called 911 to report that he'd become violent and they feared for their safety.
	When officers arrived on the scene, Watkins allegedly tried to run them over with his car.
	Multiple witnesses and videos support This version of events.
	So it's now unarmed if you try to run officers over with your car.
	Just want to make that clear.
	After all, he doesn't have a gun on him.
	He only has a car.
	Knoxville police officer Dylan Williams was cleared of any wrongdoing by the DA after fatally shooting Channera Feep last summer.
	Five eyewitnesses plus video evidence and dash cam footage.
	Confirmed that Feepe assaulted Williams, choked him, grabbed his taser, and used it on him.
	Ryan Twyman was shot by police attempting to arrest him for possession of illegal firearms.
	Security camera footage shows Twyman driving away with an officer trapped by his car door.
	The other officer on the scene opened fire, fearing for his partner's life.
	Kevin Pudlik was killed by police during a car chase.
	The driver of the car, Pudlik, was in, Christopher Lee Calvin, nearly pinned an officer between his car and a concrete wall.
	Cops on the scene finally opened fire when they believed Calvin was intentionally trying to ram into the officer.
	Finally, Isaiah Lewis, a black teenager, was shot by police after pouncing on an officer and knocking him unconscious.
	But he was unarmed.
	And for that, we have all of this attack on police.
	As if police brutality and racism is just the norm.
	And now we have the scene of what's happening in football and baseball.
	Names of these people, the very, very, very few unarmed, shot by police.
	And they're martyrs to the cause of racism and police racism in America.
	If you care about America or the police, I don't know how you can watch a baseball game now.
	There has to be blowback or the sport has ended as a sport.
	It's a left-wing message center.
	Because after all, people are not sufficiently brainwashed at school, at high school, at college, through the media.
	Through the arts.
	Through their work.
	The left hasn't sufficiently gotten its message across.
	Right?
	You haven't attended any diversity sessions.
	They're ruining the country.
	They're ruining sports and everything else.
	My insight that everything the left touches it destroys is making its way through the The consciousness of many Americans.
	And yet, Americans, not understanding what a rare thing the United States is, a unique attempt to make a multi-racial, multi-ethnic country function as one country is being used to destroy it.
	There is no other such experiment in the world.
	That's why I reminded you, when your left-wing friends use Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, tell them how racist their choices are.
	They're 95% white.

	A Brooklyn woman has been killed over complaining about fireworks.
	And according to the New York Post, she followed the borough president's lead advice, urging New Yorkers to settle disputes neighbor to neighbor rather than calling 911. So she confronted some people setting off illegal fireworks in her neighborhood.
	And she was shot and killed.
	Her mother said she watched the news and she heard it, meaning that she should not call the police when she has a dispute with a neighbor.
	Quote, it was probably in the back of her mind.
	End of quote.
	The borough president of Brooklyn said that people should talk to their neighbors.
	About a, quote, non-violent act, close quote, rather than call the police and risk a, quote, heavy-handed, close quote, police response.
	The woman's mother said, quote, it's not a good idea.
	You don't know who you're approaching.
	These kids are not respectful anymore.
	They're more ruthless, close quote.
	One was shot eight times simply for asking, Them to take their dangerous display away from a group of playing kids.
	She was asking them to remove their fireworks from kids because it was too dangerous.
	And she was shot and killed.
	So I guess that worked out, huh?

	That's of course the Bari Weiss story.
	This individual who worked for the New York Times was meant to be a face of bringing in more diverse political opinions.
	And, of course, what happened?
	She had to resign because as a Jewish contributor, an employee, she was called a Nazi by her fellow workers at the New York Times, had to have little axe emojis next to her name on their internal messaging system.
	Emily, is this a flash-in-the-pan irrelevance, or is the Bari Vice story, from your point of view as a cultural editor for Federalists, indicative of a far larger problem?
	This is a much, much larger problem, and it's something that we used to sort of think of as a canary in the coal mine every time something like this happened, but we're way beyond that point.
	What this case shows is that the standards are already in place in the liberal media and the corporate media.
	If someone who is a center leftist, like Barry Weiss, I mean, you could maybe call her a centrist, but she is...
	She calls herself a centrist, but she ain't no centrist.
	I mean, she's on the left.
	She's on the left.
	She's on the left.
	If she can't survive, and she said this in her resignation letter, if she can't survive without getting incessantly bullied by her colleagues at the New York Times, then there is no room for any dissenting opinion anymore at the paper of record.
	So I think this is a much, much deeper problem that speaks to the pushing out of all non-progressive voices in corporate media, which is going to exclude a whole lot of people and makes debate basically impossible, because there's no debate!

	music One, I get to continue my conversation with Roger Stone.
	Roger, I still cannot get over this. - Hi, everybody. everybody.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Some of you may remember a story made, I wouldn't say national headlines because the mainstream media didn't want to report it, but it made national headlines outside of the mainstream media.
	A psychologist in New Hampshire, a Democrat, just decided one day earlier this year, I think it was in January, February, right before the lockdown.
	Notice I say lockdown, not COVID. Lockdown was volitional.
	COVID is nature and China.
	It's a combination of the two.
	In any event, her story went viral because she saw a lot of decent people at a Trump rally and she was shocked as a Democrat.
	To her great credit, she was open-minded enough to actually examine the data.
	Well, we contacted her, and she's made this week's video for PragerU.
	And the name of it is...
	What is the name of it?
	The Rally That Changed My Mind.
	There it is.
	I need to relax to escape the drama of real life.
	But like almost everything nowadays, even knitting has become political, to the point that only those with politically correct views are welcome in the online knitting forums.
	You think I'm kidding.
	I wish I were.
	But I'm not.
	All right.
	We'll now talk to the woman, the heroine of the story.
	And she's terrific.
	We haven't met, except over the phone.
	But I feel like I know her.
	Carlin Borisenko.
	Carlin, welcome, I guess, back to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Yeah, thank you for having me, Dennis.
	How do you like your video?
	I love it.
	And I have to tell you, I was so nervous when you all first approached me with this idea.
	I was excited and nervous because I wanted the story to be told correctly.
	And I remember when I first received the script right before we filmed it, I almost cried.
	I was so happy with it.
	And I think the video just turned out great.
	Yeah, you're charming.
	You really are.
	I mean, you come through with such personality and life in the video.
	It got over a half million views the first day, yesterday.
	That's overwhelming.
	That's...
	What is the population of New Hampshire?
	Do you know?
	I think I want to say it's a little over a million, but I think I might be overestimating.
	I'm not sure exactly.
	Well, if it's that small, there's no...
	I mean, more people will see your video this week than live in New Hampshire.
	It's funny, when my article originally came out, and it started going viral, and it got up over 3 million views, and my husband said to me, he said, 1% of the country has read your article, and I think I had a panic attack.
	I was like, oh my goodness, the scale was overwhelming.
	Yes, he was right.
	How is he reacting to all this?
	You know, my husband is, he's the perfect match for me in that he's very laid back and just takes everything in stride, and he's never wanted Pete to kind of like be out in the public like this, and so he's completely fine with me doing it as long as he gets to kind of relax and do his thing.
	Right.
	I get it.
	So, the $64,000 question, and it may be a painful one, I don't know, but I feel it's important to ask.
	How have friends and relatives reacted?
	You know, not great, to be honest.
	I still, I texted the video to my mother yesterday and basically had to force her to watch it, and she was not really pleased with it.
	She thinks I'm cavorting with the enemy, and I've lost a lot of friends in this whole journey.
	But, you know, on the flip side to that, people have been so welcoming, and I've made so many new friends in the process that it's okay.
	You know, the family stuff is harder for me, but the reality is that I have so many people around me who are welcoming and supportive that I can't feel too sorry for myself.
	You're special.
	You really are.
	Now, you're a psychologist?
	I am, yeah.
	So are you a clinical psychologist?
	Do people visit you for therapy or some other form?
	No, thankfully I am not a clinical psychologist.
	I'm actually an organizational psychologist, so I work mostly with businesses.
	And the reason I say thankfully is because right now the American Psychological Association is undercover going after licensure of people who are speaking out like I did.
	So I would be in a lot more trouble right now professionally if I practiced the type of psychology for which I needed licensure.
	Well, this I have to hear.
	Oh, you have...
	Opened my mind to this.
	All right, anyway, the video is up at PragerU.
	We're going to have a speak more with Carla in a moment.
	This is the easiest of all the ads, I think, relief factor.
	What does Sebastian say?
	He notes it's drug-free, yes.
	I don't mention that fact.
	It's drug-free.
	This is a safe thing.
	And it reduces your pain dramatically, and as for everyone I know, at $19.95, you get a three-week supply, and you will know in three weeks if it works.
	Simple as that.
	Then the regular price kicks in if, in fact, it works.
	Either way, you might reduce your pain.

	I had a rough night last night when I saw all the baseball players at the Nationals-Yankees game taking a knee.
	And I thought they were doing so during the Star Spangled Banner.
	I saw a lot of comments on social media.
	I'm out.
	That's it.
	Never going to go to another baseball game or watch another baseball game again.
	And then I found out.
	Pretty quickly, they didn't take a knee at the Nationals-Yankees game during the anthem.
	Every single player stood respectfully during the Star-Spangled Banner.
	That's the takeaway.
	Taking a knee during a Morgan Freeman video and holding a black ribbon of unity, as the players did, was before the national anthem.
	And then for the anthem, they all rose.
	And they stood respectfully for the Star Spangled Banner.
	That's a big difference.
	And I don't know that a lot of people know the difference.
	I think people saw that image.
	And I know there was another game and there were a couple players.
	We're going to see people taking a knee and you'll get to make a decision about how you respond to that.

	So it's important to defame us.
	Otherwise, they have to confront our ideas and our decency.
	You confronted it, and it obviously had the impact that it did.

	What are they doing?
	So I have now heard a few interesting facts from multiple people who are not related to each other so far as I know.
	The first thing that I've heard is that there are groups of academics that are actively petitioning the APA to not allow people who are Republicans or have high-level connections within the Republican Party to gain licensure to practice as professionals.
	That's one thing.
	The other thing that I've heard, and again, this is through the grapevine, but from multiple sources at this point, is that the APA is actively inhibiting the publication of research that it feels is too pro-law enforcement.
	I heard that second one as well.
	Yes, it's interesting.
	I did not hear the first one.
	Neither surprises me.
	The American Psychological Association has been run by the left and poisoned, therefore, for quite some time, basically much of my life.
	So their position on whether or not a parent can say to a three-year-old child who says, you know, I'm a girl, if he's a boy, well, you know what, you're really a boy.
	That is considered by the American Psychological Association as child abuse.
	Yeah, and I'm very lucky again in that the type of psychology I do, industrial organizational psychology, I don't really have that much contact.
	With the APA, but when I'm talking, I've been talking a lot to law enforcement officers lately that there are a couple in particular that have gone back to school for psychology and are trying to get papers published and to hear stories of how they're treated in an academic setting.
	I mean, I had one person I was talking with just the other day who, once her classmates found out that she was a law enforcement officer, actively tried to have her kicked out of the class.
	And it's just, it's so...
	It's insane.
	We have descended into madness.
	That's right, we have.
	So, the good side, I mean, I feel for you on the relatives issue.
	What does your mother think?
	I mean, I don't want to, I'm not bad-mouthing or even implying that.
	I am a religious person who believes you honor your parents, even if you have political differences.
	But what does she think happened to you?
	I don't think that she knows, really.
	And I want to say, too, just to echo that, my mother is a very good woman.
	I'm not trying to put her down at all, but the reality is...
	And you're not putting her down.
	Yes, go on.
	But the reality is that she doesn't follow what's going on in the world as closely as I do.
	I mean, she's retired.
	She's kind of kicking back.
	And I really think that she does not understand how much the Democratic Party has changed because she watches Rachel Maddow all the time.
	She watches MSNBC all the time, CNN. So she's being fed the media line about what's going on, which, of course, as we know, there's little resemblance to what is actually going on.
	That's right.
	So how has this affected you?
	I mean, this is a serious transformation.
	I think it's affected me mostly in positive ways, to be honest.
	I feel, you know, I kind of got kicked out of the political closet with my article going viral.
	It certainly was not something that I expected when it happened.
	And it was terrifying when it did, frankly.
	All I was thinking about was how it was going to affect my business and my practice and was I going to lose clients and would I be able to even find clients and survive financially.
	But the reality is that several months later, I gained the freedom to be able to say what I wanted to say and not to fear the consequences of it because I've already been through the fire.
	on this one and I found that there absolutely has been pushback from the left to me but I find that the more I stand my ground and I say what I think and I don't bend the knee to what they want me to do the happier I am and frankly the more they leave me alone that's exactly correct the worst thing you can do is stand there and say oh I'm so sorry because you didn't do anything wrong Well, you know what?
	I want you to know, a lot of my listeners say that, you know, I give them hope and I hope I do.
	I want you to know that you give me hope.
	Well, thank you, Dennis.
	I appreciate that.
	It's from the heart.
	Thank you so much.
	You're a special person.

	Vice story.
	This individual who worked for the New York Times was meant to be a a face of bringing in more diverse political opinions and of course what happened?
	She had to resign, because as a Jewish contributor, an employee, she was called a Nazi by her fellow workers at the New York Times, had to have little axe emojis next to her name on their internal messaging system.
	Emily, is this a flash-in-the-pan irrelevance, or is the Bari Vice story, from your point of view as a cultural editor for Federalists, indicative of a far larger problem?
	This is a much, much larger problem, and it's something that we used to sort of think of as a canary in the coal mine every time something like this happened, but we're way beyond that point.
	What this case shows is that the standards are already in place in the liberal media and the corporate media.
	If someone who is a center leftist, like Barry Weiss, I mean, you could maybe call her a centrist, but she...
	She calls herself a centrist, but she ain't no centrist.
	I mean, she's on the left.
	She's on the left.
	She's on the left.
	If she can't survive, and she said this in her resignation letter, if she can't survive without getting incessantly bullied by her colleagues at the New York Times, then there is no room for any dissenting opinion anymore at the paper of record.
	So I think this is a much, much deeper problem that speaks to the pushing out of all non-progressive voices in corporate media, which is going to exclude a whole lot of people and makes debate basically impossible.

	The left is a mob.
	I mean, when you heard this woman, did you hear?
	A mean-spirited human being.
	Everything they accuse us of is what they are, and there's a reason for that.
	I learned this in my late 20s.
	I was the director of a religious educational institute.
	Well, educational institute.
	Anyway, a Jewish educational institute.
	That was my first job.
	I came to California.
	A member of the board said to me, he's a nice guy.
	And he said to me one day, you know, everybody I deal with in business is a crook.
	Wants to cheat me.
	And I realized it was a big realization.
	He actually cheated people.
	As part of the way he conducted business, he was a ruthless businessman.
	So he assumed everybody was like him.
	When the Democrats shout all of these things about the right, it's like when they say every white is racist.
	They're acknowledging they're racist, and they are.
	But not every white is racist.

	Every white is a racist.
	They're simply projecting themselves onto other whites.
	I dissent from that.
	100% dissent from it.

	About 1.4 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits once again last week.
	The new data just released.
	It is, of course, a discouraging sign.
	Workers have now filed more than 52 million initial jobless claims since layoffs spiked in mid-March, according to the New York Post, suggesting about a third of the American labor force has been out of work at some point.
	During the pandemic, lawmakers are still trying to hash out what to do, whether to extend that $600 a week boost to weekly unemployment benefits.
	It is a tough debate.
	No easy answers for me.
	I believe the answer has to be we got to get people back to work.
	We have to get people back to work.
	We have to acknowledge that the virus is here.
	You have to be careful.
	And incidentally, back to the lesson of my friend.
	The president has urged everyone to wear a mask when you are in proximity to other people, if you can't socially distance.
	I was pretty mindful in my office.
	We wear a mask.
	Everybody has a mask in the office.
	But if I'm in the office with somebody, if I'm in an office setting and I'm six, seven, eight feet away, you know, I take the mask off.
	Well, this particular...
	Co-worker and friend, the other day, the day that they started feeling symptoms, that morning, I was in the office with them, about, I would say, seven, eight feet away, and I instinctively take the mask off.
	And that person even said at that time, because they always have a mask...

	I'm sorry.
	You have written, it's not safe to keep schools closed.
	And you've got a paper about it.
	In the last minute and a half we have, why is it not safe to keep them closed?
	Well, children are suffering tremendously in two ways.
	Number one is the lack of classroom instruction.
	And the idea that online chats are a substitute for being taught by a teacher is laughable.
	There's no evidence that that's the case.
	Students have lost a tremendous amount of learning.
	They've been set back massively.
	And that's not just important in terms of them knowing things and their future ability to be effective citizens.
	That has enormous health effects as well, because one of the best established relationships we have in public health is the relationship between educational attainment and mortality and life expectancy.
	And, you know, when you read articles like we've all seen about how, you know, 40,000 kids in Los Angeles haven't logged on a single time, high school students, well, if they drop out, if they don't complete high school, high school dropouts live on average four to six years shorter lives than high school.
	than high school graduates.
	And so the loss of life years just from the loss of classroom instruction and educational attainment could dwarf what we've seen from this virus.
	But the second way is the social-emotional development and the isolation and the lack of contact with other humans, which children need as much as everyone needs, probably more, is really brutal.
	And frankly, a new study of this just came out in Wisconsin with sky-high numbers.
	Depression is up around 60 or 70% among students who have been subject to these school closures.
	And we're gonna see suicides go up.
	Among the high school students, the number two cause of death in this country after accidents is suicide.
	We lose about 3,000 high school age students a year to suicide in this country.
	We've lost about 20 to this virus in that age bracket.

	There's a psychiatrist who was with the group yesterday.
	A group of doctors in front of the White House.
	Was it in front of the White House?
	Or in front of Congress?
	It was in Washington.
	And I know quite a few of the doctors who were present.
	Some of them have been on the show.
	This was banned from Twitter, banned from Facebook.
	Doctors, you hear me?
	MDs, physicians, saying hydroxychloroquine and zinc work.
	And it's called misinformation now.
	Facebook and Twitter will have blood on their hands.
	There are people dying because of this lie that it doesn't work.
	It's a lie.
	I declare it a lie.
	Okay?
	It is so obvious a lie.
	They've retracted studies that claimed that it was ineffective.
	There are more and more studies that it is effective.
	I read to you the article from Newsweek by one of the leading epidemiologists in the country at Yale University.
	We could save the great majority of COVID patients' lives if we give them hydroxychloroquine.
	And zinc the first day.
	Why do you think I would say this?
	I'm taking it.
	And I don't even have it.
	I'm taking it.
	It's that safe.

	And this is the latest.
	There's no question it's going to come out.

	Hydroxychloroquine is a cure, though the FDA says otherwise.
	Here's Dr. Fauci.
	We should all be wearing masks.
	How about hydroxychloroquine?
	The president promoting the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine.
	We know the FDA has recommended against emergency use.
	Right.
	Right, exactly.
	And I go along with the FDA. The overwhelming, prevailing clinical trials...
	He doesn't know what he's talking about.
	I'm not a doctor, and I know better about the trials.
	Leave it alone.
	He's lying to you.
	He's ignorant.
	I don't even know if he's lying.
	You have to know that you're lying to be lying.
	I don't know.
	It's a philosophical question.
	No matter how many studies and national...
	The Switzerland one that I read to you yesterday was dramatic.
	They went back to using it after stopping it.
	So people died because they bought this lie that it's not effective.
	Deaths went up and then Switzerland went back to using it.
	I'll be proven right.
	I've been proven right because I only follow what truth and logic lead to.
	I have no agenda other than doing good.
	I have the corniest agenda you can imagine.
	Been my agenda my whole life.
	When that's your agenda, along with where does truth lead you?
	pretty accurate in general.
	It's a scandal with the First Order.
	However, Thank you.
	So, I mean, now, if you are a physician, a group of physicians, Using it and saving people's lives with it, you are taken down from Twitter, from Facebook.
	Who else took them down?
	Did YouTube allow their video?
	Can you watch the video of these doctors at all on the Internet?
	The few, these doctors are out there, and I saw how few reporters covered it.
	Mainstream media is a fraud.
	Follow the science.
	So what, these doctors are not following the science?
	Could you take care of that beep?
	Is it my computer?
	No, but I'll take care of it.

	Right, exactly.
	It's gone now.
	Do you know the mockery of the Catholic Church for Galileo, remember?
	It was placed under house arrest.
	What was the specific charge?
	Because he said that the earth revolved around the sun.
	Was that the issue for him?
	By the way, and even that is overstated, Galileo had a pretty good life.
	He wasn't tortured to the best of my knowledge or anything like that.
	But we're living the exact same thing.
	The left is truly the worst aspects of the medieval church without any of its good aspects.
	That's the irony.
	There was more good, and I'm a Jew saying this, there was more good, and it was a lot of anti-Semitism.
	It was a bad part of it.
	Yeah, so I was right, yeah.
	Anyway, We're living right now through a medieval church called the Left.
	You differ.
	You are essentially placed under media arrest.
	To take down physicians?
	Dissent from Fauci and the FDA? Wow.
	Anyway, one of those there...
	Whom I don't know, but we'll have on the show, is Dr. McDonald.
	And Dr. McDonald, let's see, what's his first name?
	Dr. Mark McDonald, practicing child and adolescent psychiatrist in West Los Angeles, spoke at Mondays, that was yesterday's White Coat Summit in the nation's capital, pointed out that the fears exhibited by many parents over the Chinese coronavirus, which is how Breitbart correctly...
	He calls it, are not based on reality.
	That is correct.
	Left people, the more left you are, the more frightened you are, the more unhappy you are.
	I have seen a rapid and substantial increase in emotional illness with all of the children in my practice, every single one.
	Anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, bedwetting, self-harm, Child abuse, violence, panic attacks.
	I could go on and on and on.
	YouTube took it down too?
	Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube took down a summit of doctors from around the country saying that hydroxychloroquine is effective.
	They're at the White House.
	So I said it all correctly.
	I'm from the Supreme Court, so I didn't say it correctly.
	Okay.
	Where can it be seen, then?
	It can't be seen?
	Aren't there alternatives to YouTube?
	There are alternatives to YouTube, right?
	This is scary.
	This is truly scary.
	McDonald briefly told the story of a parent who tried to take his eight-year-old daughter to the beach.
	The child reportedly grabbed her father's leg and told him they could not go because, quote, there are other people there.
	This little girl was completely well and completely healthy until the pandemic began.
	The pandemic in my mind is not so much a medical pandemic, it's an emotional pandemic.
	And this emotional pandemic is based on and centered around fear.
	That's correct.
	That is exactly right.
	Well, was it the time editor who wishes she has not left her apartment in 130 days?

	that that serious doctors make up stories about a medicine that they use that has been used for half a century utterly safely wow meanwhile people are dying who could have been saved by hydroxychloroquine and zinc You realize that?
	People are dying because of CNN and Fauci.
	Fauci's killing people right now with his announcement.
	That's what I believe.
	Oh, I'll play Dr. Fauci on masks.
	This is from March.
	March.
	Dr. Fauci on masks.
	...block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.
	And often there are unintended consequences.
	People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.
	And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there?
	Of course, of course.
	But when you think masks, you should think of health care providers needing them and people who are ill.
	What happened?
	I'm not joking.
	What happened?
	Eminent epidemiologist announces it's useless, and then three months later, everybody has to wear one.
	So what?
	I'm not joking.
	It's not a rhetorical question.
	What happened?
	He has new evidence on masks?
	I mean, I can't believe that.
	He knew more in May than he did in March about masks.
	By the way, I saw a great, what's called Polytune, political cartoon.
	Two pictures.
	One, people bunched together on an airplane.
	And the other picture was an empty church.
	Why can you sit next to each other on an airplane and not in a church?
	You have an answer?
	Because it's fraud.
	We're living in a...
	In an arena because they love to control little people like Newsome and Garcetti.
	You ever notice sometimes that there are people, you know, they'll be directing traffic and they're just so thrilled at their ability to control traffic.
	You know, you stop, you go.
	I don't mean cops.
	You know, lay people get this power for the first time in their lives.
	That's Newsom and Garcetti and Wolf, Pennsylvania and many others.
	I can control you.
	That's what the left winger loves to do is to control us.
	We want to be left alone.
	Isn't that amazing?
	That's all we ask.
	I was reading Ben Shapiro's book and it just reinforced this.
	The whole country was founded to have a small government.
	If they were resurrected, the founders, the first shock would be airplanes, cars.
	They'd get over that shock in a week.
	But they would not get over the shock of how big the government had become.
	This is the antithesis of the American dream.
	What was it the other day?
	I said, of course, for years, the bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
	What would I say the other day?
	The bigger the government, the fewer the husbands?
	Was that the line I came up with?
	I think so.
	The bigger the government, the worse everything is.
	Everything.
	People rely on it.
	They become addicted.
	I've said for years, and I know something about addiction, though I personally have not been.
	I do believe That it is harder to get off an addiction to things that come to you for free than it is to get off addiction to heroin.
	They don't have AA programs yet for recipients of government handouts.
	You get addicted.
	I don't know how long it takes to get addicted to heroin.
	Or some opioid or something.
	But it happens the first time you get a check from the government.
	You're addicted.

	Most of the country, when they found out that there were frogmen behind your house and tons of SUVs and stuff, people like me, and I think this is apart from my political affiliation as a conservative, as an American I am deeply infuriated and disgusted that in my The raid itself was kind of a galvanizing experience,
	as you might expect, because normally when people are charged with non-violent white-collar process crimes, the government contacts your lawyer, says we're going to charge your client, please bring him in, and I would have come in voluntarily.
	So it was a bit of a mystery.
	I was expecting a phone call.
	Instead, I got a visit from 29 heavily armed FBI agents at 6 a.m.
	in the morning.
	They arrived in 17 armored vehicles.
	There was a helicopter overhead.
	Frogmen jumping off boats in a canal in my backyard.
	It was just an over-the-top show.
	My greatest concern at that moment was not for myself.
	It was for my wife.
	My wife is hearing impaired.
	Without her hearing aids, she's totally deaf.
	So she didn't hear any of this commotion.
	I see FBI agents storming up to the second story.
	She wakes up looking down the barrel of two rifles.
	She doesn't know if it's a home invasion.
	She has no idea what's happened.
	They don't know she's deaf, so if they shout a command at her and she doesn't obey, I'm afraid they're going to shoot her.
	I mean, that flashed before me.
	I yelled up the stairs, be careful, she's deaf, but they didn't really care.
	Then they actually frog-marched her out in the middle of the street in her nightgown and bare feet.
	She's 73 years old and she has rheumatoid arthritis.

	live from the relief factor pain-free studio trending now on America first with Sebastian Burke you have written it's not safe to keep schools closed and you've got a paper about it in the last minute and a half we have why is it not safe to keep them closed
	Well, children are suffering tremendously in two ways.
	Number one is the lack of classroom instruction.
	And the idea that online chats are a substitute for being taught by a teacher is laughable.
	There's no evidence that that's the case.
	Students have lost a tremendous amount of learning.
	They've been set back massively.
	And that's not just important in terms of them knowing things and their future ability to be effective citizens.
	That has enormous health effects as well, because one of the best established relationships we have in public health is the relationship between educational attainment and mortality and life expectancy.
	And, you know, when you read articles like we've all seen about how, you know, 40,000 kids in Los Angeles haven't logged on a single time, high school students.
	Well, if they drop out, if they don't complete high school, high school dropouts live on average four to six years shorter lives than high school graduates.
	And so the loss of life years just from the loss of classroom instruction and educational attainment could dwarf what we've seen from this virus.
	But the second way...
	Is the social-emotional development and the isolation and the lack of contact with other humans, which children need as much as everyone needs, probably more, is really brutal.
	And frankly, a new study of this just came out in Wisconsin.
	With sky-high numbers, depression is up around 60 or 70 percent among students who've been subject to these school closures.
	And we're going to see suicides go up.
	Among the high school students, the number two cause of death in this country after accidents is suicide.
	We lose about 3,000 high school-age students a year to suicide.
	We've lost about 20 to this virus in that age bracket.
	20. 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?

	There's a church I've been attending for the last nine weeks.
	It's called God Speak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks.
	I heard about it on your program, actually, for one of the protests in Ventura.
	But last night, they have a live stream, Fireside Chat, every night.
	They put that clip of the frontline doctors on their live stream, embedded it into it.
	They took down the entire hour of the pastor talking about it and other things, obviously.
	And you could not find it.
	It was gone.
	It aired through the first part of it, as far as I know.
	But I went to, I actually was catching it on the Rewind run, and I paused it, came back, I could not open it up.
	Could not, it's not on, they blocked it from YouTube and Google.

	You know who I feel for?
	I feel for the people who grew up in a communist country who came here because it's the beacon of liberty and they see America being threatened with what they left.
	You know what it reminds me of?
	What is that famous Persian story, Appointment, that a lot of you listening know the answer.
	It's the name of a city in Iran, I believe.
	It's an ancient tale of the angel of death pursuing a man.

	It's retold, yeah, right.
	By whom?

	Must be shocked from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia.
	Must be stunned.

	Okay.
	Did you hear Fauci on masks?

	Do you have an answer as to why a person would wear a mask driving alone in a car?

	Hi, Dennis.
	You're talking about flattening the fear.
	I always consider that fear is false education appearing real.
	And I thought that your audience ought to know that the White Coat Frontline Doctor videos are available on the Breitbart News Network and also on BitChute.
	And additionally, I wanted to point out that another reason not to fear COVID is Dr. Richard Bartlett of Midland, Texas, along with Congressman Ralph Abraham, who is also a physician, have been treating COVID patients in the very early stages since March with a very inexpensive steroid that's used for asthma patients.
	It's routinely prescribed Prophylactically, for children, as a preventative against asthma.
	And the reason being, the reason at work is because asthma is an inflammation response in the lungs, just as COVID is.
	So they give it...
	What's the name of the steroid?
	The prior name was Paul McCourt.
	Oh yeah, of course Paul McCourt.
	That's well known actually.
	I'm not kidding.

	I love the work you do.
	I just want to say thank you so much for all the work you do on this.
	I know we've got to be quick, but I think we really need to get into education here.
	I'm a former teacher, biology, biochemistry teacher.
	I have a master's degree from Penn State.
	I taught in Atlanta.
	What I experienced in the public education system was fit on with what you would think today, suppressing rational logic voices in science, which I taught.
	I think we really need to get into, you know, conservatives need to get into positions of leadership in education, like principal, superintendent, vice principal.
	Those are really the people who are controlling the narrative, which we're going to get in this fight.
	You called all about hydroxychloroquine?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, hydroxychloroquine, sure.
	But the problem I think we need to solve is the line.
	But I have a friend who took hydroxychloroquine, definitely, was in the hospital for two and a half weeks.
	And after taking it, he was better in three days.
	Thank you.

	Hang on, hang on.
	I don't want anybody to miss this.
	So there is a slave labor camp where they make sneakers.
	And that company feeds its products into the factories that make sneakers for Nike, Gordon?
	Yeah, this is a Nike supplier.
	So Nike works directly with a company that maintains what is a camp.
	It's got high walls, barbed wire, watchtowers, and really looks like a small concentration camp.
	It is a factory.
	This company has had a relationship with Nike for over three decades.
	This particular facility makes 8 million pairs of shoes a year, almost all of them for Nike.
	Nike says in a statement that it doesn't use forced or indentured labor, but indeed we know that it does, because Washington Post reporting from both March and February of this year, after Nike's statement on this subject, shows that the Uyghur women were transported there against their will.
	They cannot leave.
	Explain for those who aren't familiar, who are the Uyghurs and why are they such a threat to the communist dictatorship in Beijing and to Xi Jinping?
	Uyghurs are Turkic people.
	In other words, they're not the same racial stock as the majority ethnic group in China.

	I'm relatively calm.
	I had a rough night last night when I saw all the baseball players at the Nationals-Yankees game taking a knee, and I thought they were doing so during the Star Spangled Banner.
	I saw a lot of comments on social media.
	I'm out.
	That's it.
	Never going to go to another baseball game or watch another baseball game again.
	And then I found out pretty quickly they didn't take a knee at the Nationals-Yankees game during the anthem.
	Every single player stood respectfully during the Star-Spangled Banner.
	That's the takeaway.
	Taking a knee during a Morgan Freeman video.
	And holding a black ribbon of unity, as the players did, was before the national anthem.
	And then for the anthem, they all rose and they stood respectfully for the Star-Spangled Banner.
	That's a big difference.
	And I don't know that a lot of people know the difference.
	I think people saw that image.
	And I know there was another game and there were a couple players.

	I mean, here's the president on the phone from the White House.
	Four years ago, five years ago, no one had heard the term Deep state, much less been convinced that there was such a thing.
	We see that the threat is keener than ever.
	It doesn't matter whether you refer to it as Dwight Eisenhower, one of the greatest presidents of my lifetime did, as the military industrial complex, or you call it the deep state.
	It's the same thing.
	It's the permanent political establishment in place that is both Republicans and Democrats working together.
	for oppressive policies but mostly interested only in their own power and wealth.
	It is atheistic.
	They believe in no God.
	They believe in one kind of globalist world government where we believe in a US Constitution that essentially was built on the Christian values of a Christian God.
	So we're going to find out very soon because there is now no question whatsoever Based on declassified documents that the entire Russia investigation was a politically motivated fraud.
	In fact, it's the largest abuse of power in American history where Barack Obama and virtually all of the leaders of his administration used the full authority of the United States government and the incredible surveillance capability of our intelligence agencies to spy on the Republican candidate to defraud the FISA courts.
	And they use fabricated evidence in an effort to stage an illegal coup and undo the results of the 2016 election.
	Watergate?
	Watergate is small potatoes compared to that.
	I mean, you see Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff jumping up down and screaming about the rule of law.
	Please, fellas, the rule of law?
	Look in the mirror.
	Keep up with what's trending.
	There's an adage I've always heard, never make an enemy out of somebody who buys ink by the barrel, meaning don't tick off a newspaper.
	This man has ticked off an industry.
	He's popularized the expression fake news and gotten people to realize how biased the media are.
	We've been talking about it for decades, but I think now people are beginning to realize it because of Trump.
	They see how he's been misquoted.
	They've got these people on saying that he referred to the coronavirus as a hoax.
	No, he didn't.
	It's been fact-checked, and they said he didn't, but they still say it.
	Donald Trump said that there are good Nazis and bad Nazis.
	No, he didn't.
	But when you don't correct the politician or the pundit for saying it, you're putting it out there on purpose.
	This is what we're up against.
	These cockamamie plans that Joe Biden has are not going to be seriously talked about or tested or discussed.
	More taxes on rich people, a Green New Deal, $15 minimum wage, a commission to study reparations for crying out loud, wealth tax, debt forgiveness, tuition forgiveness, and the continued march towards single payer, player, which is what they wanted.
	Thank you.
	All right, everybody.
	It's the Ultimate Issues Hour, the third hour every Tuesday.
	We talk about the great issues of life.
	The great issues of life.
	I have a new way of presenting how important this hour is and how important having clarity about the ultimate questions of life.
	It's a vaccine against the vicissitudes of life.
	Once you understand things better, once you have wisdom, I think wisdom is somewhat of an antidote to fear.
	The author I'm going to have on for this hour writes about fear, actually, in his book.
	The book is Toward a Meaningful Life.
	As you know, I have often cited the book that influenced me the most outside of the Bible.
	And that is Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning.
	That humans need meaning more than anything except food and air.
	It's actually a deeper drive even than sex, as powerful as that drive is.
	Toward a Meaningful Life, and the author is Simon Jacobson, who is a rabbi, specifically of the Chabad movement within Judaism.
	Many of you have heard of the Chabad house that perhaps exists in your, probably does exist in your city.
	And for 14 years, he was responsible for publishing the talks of the leader of that movement, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
	And he has taken those ideas of that remarkable man and written this book for everybody, of any faith, and indeed for secular people, toward a meaningful life.
	Simon Jacobson, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Thank you so much for having me, Dennis.
	Beautifully stated.
	Thank you.
	Good.
	Thank you.
	So, the crisis, as I have delineated it for so long to my audience, is a meaning crisis induced by the death of religion.
	I want to tell you at the outset what I tell every guest.
	You are 100% welcome to disagree with me.
	But if you don't or you do, please react to that, that the great crisis is the one of meaning.
	I totally agree.
	I don't know if I would use the word religion, per se, because religion has also been maligned and stereotyped, but definitely godlessness and a sense of accountability to a higher purpose and a higher destiny.
	So I believe that's what you're referring to.
	So I totally agree.
	So what would you advise people?
	You have a wonderful part about fear.
	People are walking around now because of COVID in fear.
	What do you have to say to them?
	Well, I'll just use a good analogy and a good anecdote, actually, of a time much worse than ours, so we don't compare tragedies.
	But 1927, the previous So he was under the iron rule of the former Soviet Union, which, as we know, wanted to eradicate every semblance of Judaism in that country.
	And he stood up, was arrested by them, which, of course, there was no due process.
	They could kill him in a moment.
	And he refused to cooperate.
	So someone pointed a gun to his head and said, Rabbi, This gun has made many people cooperate.
	And the Rebbe responded.
	He said, this toy, that's what he called it.
	In Yiddish they call it atzatzka.
	This toy can frighten someone that has one world and many gods, but not someone who has one god and many worlds.
	I think that lies the essence of fear.
	Fear at the end of the day, you know, some say it's all connected to the fear of death, the fear of the unknown.
	But when you have, as you said at the outset, a purpose and meaning in life, which means you have something to hold onto that's greater than the moment.
	So yes, it may be a frightening moment.
	It may be a setback.
	It may be an unknown, as we see now during the pandemic.
	It's uncertain times.
	But you have something to hold onto.
	You're not just holding onto your job or money or other impermanent things, which of course don't provide security.
	So essentially, the counterforce that's there is security.
	And security needs to be bound with some eternal value.
	Something you stand for.
	It could be love.
	It could be kindness.
	It could be generosity.
	It could be religion and deeper purpose.
	But it has to be something more than just the world that we know that is so subject to the vicissitudes is a good way to use it.
	The changes that are constantly sweeping Around our lives, and it's having that anchor that is opening the counterforce.
	How to implement that is a greater challenge, but that's the principle.
	And every system, whether it's coming from the Bible or other systems, all end up emphasizing you need to hold on to something greater than you to counter the fear and insecurities and anxiety that results from the changing world we are in.
	And so I'm curious, and you may not have an answer to this.
	It's fine.
	Do you see a change in many people?
	Many people.
	If it's just a few, then it's irrelevant.
	But do you see a change in many people from, let's say, I don't know how old you are, but whether you experienced it or not from, let's say, 50 years ago?
	Do you think there has been a serious change?
	It's an excellent question.
	I would respond yes.
	But I think change happens more incrementally, like a process, rather than a one cataclysmic event.
	What I see is the following.
	I'm 63, just for the record.
	Okay, so 50 years is a good...
	I was going as a teen into my teen years and then adult years.
	The changes I see are both...
	The positive and the negative.
	I've seen, and now it's coming to roost, actually, I've seen that complacency has grown out of prosperity and comforts.
	You know, since World War II, frankly, we have not had to fight for anything we stand for.
	So you have the average young man or woman today, or the 60s or the 70s, what do you fight for?
	I mean, the 60s was, I guess, a more sad moment than social.
	The social and civil rights of this country.
	But later, in the 80s and 90s, most people would tell you, I fight for it.
	Make more money, maybe relationships, sexuality.
	I love baseball or sports and my video games or some other luxurious item.
	And what happened is that certain complacency sets in when you're comfortable and you take life for granted.
	Everything we're talking about.
	Finding meaning usually happens when there's unfortunately trauma, loss, death, some setback.
	And things are riding.
	And that's one thing I've seen, get more and more apathetic.
	But on the other end, Dennis, I would add, I also see an upturn because people at some point get sick of being miserable.
	Like someone just told me a few weeks ago, how many Netflix movies can I watch?
	You know, there's a certain point where you go, how much junk food can you eat?
	And I think that there is, and again, not a few people, as you said, I think it's a trend that there is also a certain, what we call a spiritual opening and awakening.
	And the pandemic has, of course, changed things dramatically because that's really upended and disrupted everybody's schedules.
	So my answer is, it's like, I don't want to plagiarize Dickens, the best of times and the worst of times, but it is the best of times in many ways.
	of our comforts and our standard of living and the ease.
	You press a button, you have whatever you want at your door.
	But it creates that type of almost spiritual vacuousness and emptiness because you're not the fighter.
	And I think that there is an upturn going on as well.
	So I think there's a paradox.
	What do you think about that?
	I mean, we're observing this as well as I am.
	We're observing.
	Well, I'm a bit more pessimistic than you are, but I have enough time to describe my views when you're not on.
	So I'll just briefly, I am very worried about a generation that does not, to use the biblical citation, a generation arose that did not know America.
	Just as, you know, a pharaoh arose who did not know Joseph.
	That they've taken, they don't appreciate freedom.
	They don't appreciate the family.
	I think that there's a, it's a real crisis.
	That's why his book is important.
	Toward a Meaningful Life, Simon Jacobson will be back.
	The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	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 than 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.
	Some of the things he said about President Trump being racist.
	It's just unreal.
	This is a man, Joe Biden, who has lied and said that the NAACP has endorsed him when the NAACP came out and said, excuse me, we're a 501c3 corporation.
	We can't endorse anybody.
	Oops.
	Lied about trying to visit Nelson Mandela and getting arrested in his attempt.
	He said he was with Andrew Young.
	Andrew Young was the first black ambassador to the United Nations.
	Marched with MLK, was there when MLK was shot at that motel in Tennessee.
	And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, and nope.
	And I've told you Biden has for decades.
	Talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware.
	Zero evidence he ever did.
	Now, why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of black people?
	What it shows you is he thinks of black people as stupid.
	Obviously not capable of investigating these false claims.
	And by the way, as props.
	I'll just show you how much I care, how much I care, how much I care.
	Never mind my policies are hurtful.
	Never mind I'm going to oppose choice in schools even though urban parents want that.
	Never mind I'm going to advocate a bigger and bigger welfare state even though dependencies creates fatherless households.
	Never mind.

	There are about 700 Riegers, mostly women, who are forced to make sneakers for a company that is a long-term supplier for the company that we know as Nike.
	Hang on, hang on.
	I don't want anybody to miss this.
	So there is a slave labor camp where they make sneakers.
	And that company feeds its products into the factories that make sneakers for Nike, Gordon?
	Yeah, this is a Nike supplier.
	So Nike works directly with a company that maintains what is a camp.
	It's got high walls, barbed wire, watchtowers, and really looks like a small concentration camp.
	It is a factory.
	This company has had a relationship with Nike for over three decades.
	This particular facility makes 8 million pairs of shoes a year, almost all of them for Nike.
	Nike says in a statement that it doesn't use forced or indentured labor, but All right, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	And Simon Jacobson, the prominent Jewish thinker, is on the line.
	He's a rabbi, and he's a major figure in the Chabad movement of Judaism.
	The book is Toward a Meaningful Life, and it takes the wisdom of the famous, probably the most prominent Jew of the 20th century, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, Known as the Rebbe.
	And he was the man who edited his talks.
	Anyway, I want to read to you.
	It's an interesting thing.
	The book is divided into body and soul, birth, childhood, education, youth, marriage, love, intimacy, home and family, health and fitness, work and productivity, charity and wealth, aging and retirement, death and grieving.
	Pain and suffering, fear and anxiety, and a day of life.
	And then that's just on man, and then there's society, and then there's God.
	So there's a lot here.
	There's a very touching little line I'd like you to comment on.
	You bring it here.
	A woman who suffered a great tragedy came to see her rabbi.
	The rabbi said to her, I have no answers for you, but I can cry with you.
	And that's very powerful, but it's not fully comforting.
	People want answers when tragedy takes place.
	So what do you say, other than crying with them, what do you have to say to them?
	Yeah, one of the most difficult questions to answer, especially when you're dealing with someone who...
	It's going through tragedy.
	It's one thing to talk about it in retrospect after the event, and people can be a little more sober, so to speak.
	The reason I began with that story, I think it's vital, and then I'll answer your question, to be sensitive.
	I find too many people are so cocky, and they just say, oh, you know, there's a deeper reason.
	Maybe you did something.
	And they jump to explanations too quickly.
	I think we all need pause.
	In the Bible, we hear when Aaron loses tragically his two children, he is silent.
	It says, and Aaron was silent.
	Silence is not avoiding the issue.
	Silence is recognizing the humble recognition that we're in awe of something bigger than we are.
	Just like we don't understand the mystery of birth, we also don't understand the mystery of death.
	Why some of us live longer, some less, some suffer more, some less.
	So I think there's an importance to recognizing that we're not God's equals where we can just say, okay, you know, tell me what your plan is here.
	But I totally agree with you that once you recognize that, you need to move to the next level, which is to try to make some sense of it.
	Which doesn't mean necessarily you'll find an answer, why did this tragedy happen?
	Why did I lose a child?
	Why were six million innocent Jews killed?
	Why any type of senseless loss?
	But that doesn't mean we can't make sense of what we should do about it.
	So we may not have an answer why, but we have an answer what to do.
	That this will bring out a deeper strength within me.
	You've seen so many great noble activities, noble was launched as a result of some loss and tragedy.
	And you turn the tragedy into some form of growth.
	So even though we may not fully understand what happened, we could say, and I've heard this from many, I've grown through it, and I don't regret what happened.
	I've become a greater person.
	So I don't know if that's an answer to the why, but it definitely is an answer to the spirit.
	That isn't just, okay, you're crying with me and empathizing, but you helped me also grow, become a greater person.
	I'll say one final thing about the why.
	Yeah, of course we can go ahead and start speculating why certain things happen, why bad things happen to good people.
	I really believe that no matter what answer you come to, at the end of the day, you could always say, it could have been a different way.
	Why did it happen this way?
	That's why I'm careful with not becoming too rational about, especially a tragedy that's beyond.
	It's like a great mind cannot speak to a bleeding heart, essentially, recognizing that.
	I want you to know you won me over.
	Because when I speak to religious writers, and I love to, obviously, because it matters to me a great deal, or callers to my show, and they give me reasons, or say, well, everything is for the best.
	It's not a line that I appreciate, because it's just not true.
	There are certain things that are just not for the best.
	Now, if that brings somebody comfort, I don't want to deprive them of it, but I'm too rational.
	I'm going to ask you a question I am certain you were never asked, so I'm sort of preparing you for it.
	I have written and said that of all the commandments in the Bible, The one I find the toughest to live by is love God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your might.
	And I am a deep believer in God.
	But I personally do find loving God a challenge.
	So I'd like you to respond to that.
	I will say this.
	I guess we're somewhat kindred spirits, because I, too, have challenges with that.
	And I'll share with you, speaking from my heart, no, I've not heard that question asked quite that way, but I have asked myself, what does it mean?
	And I think it goes back to a bigger question, what does God mean to me, or to you, or to anyone?
	Because that word, G-O-D, is so overused and so misunderstood.
	It's like almost...
	It's almost like a routine word, God.
	Some people think God is this guy sitting on the throne in heaven with a white long beard about to strike us with lightning when we misbehave.
	You know, all the negative Woody Allen stereotypes.
	Others have a different meaning, and many, frankly, have never even thought about it.
	It's just something they heard, you know, like a child that said, the bathroom scale in my house reminds me of God, because every time my mother steps in it, she cries out, oh my God.
	You know, that's his understanding of God.
	So, it's all really, it's so subjective.
	So I want to just give a short description that I think is personal.
	I think, and everybody has to obviously personalize God, or else it means nothing.
	It becomes a meaningless word.
	When the founding fathers, for example, wrote, all are not created equal, and are vowed by the Creator with unalienable rights.
	I don't know what went on their head, but one thing is clear.
	That if they did not use the word creator or created equal, they could have written all men are born equal or meant all men are equal.
	What do they mean to use creator?
	Because I believe they understood that if you don't invoke some higher force, whatever that force means to you, then at the end of the day, human beings can come around and say, you know what, some of us are more equal than others.
	So the first thing to me, God, is recognizing that you did not create yourself.
	You're not the giver of life.
	You're the recipient of life.
	It's a gift.
	All right, hold it there, Rabbi, if you would, because we've got to take a break to make the program possible.
	The book is Toward a Meaningful Life.
	It is up at DennisPrager.com.
	I'm relatively calm.
	I had a rough night last night when I saw all the baseball players at the Nationals-Yankees game taking a knee, and I thought they were doing so during the Star Spangled Banner.
	I saw a lot of comments on social media.
	I'm out.
	That's it.
	Never going to go to another baseball game or watch another baseball game again.
	And then I found out pretty quickly They didn't take a knee at the Nationals-Yankees game during the anthem.
	Every single player stood respectfully during the Star-Spangled Banner.
	That's the takeaway.
	Taking a knee during a Morgan Freeman video and holding a black ribbon of unity, as the players did, was before the national anthem.
	And then for the anthem, they all rose.
	And they stood respectfully for the Star-Spangled Banner.
	That's a big difference.
	And I don't know that a lot of people know the difference.
	I think people saw that image.
	And I know there was another game and there were a couple players.
	We're going to see people taking a knee and you'll get to make a decision about how you respond to that.
	But listen.
	The president said it last night.
	Sean Hannity had a one-on-one with President Trump.
	It was fascinating.
	I really wish everybody who hates this man would be willing to take 20 minutes of their life and watch the whole interview.
	I mean, here's the president on the phone from the White House.
	Sean, of course, is a huge supporter and an advocate of President Trump and conservatism.
	And it just gives you insights into the way the man thinks.

	Ultimate Issues Hour, third hour every Tuesday.
	Toward a Meaningful Life is the book.
	Simon Jacobson, Rabbi, Chabad Rabbi, and one who was intimately involved in the works of the leader of that movement for how many years was he the Rebbe, the leader of the movement?
	He assumed leadership in 1950, and he had a stroke in 1992, passed away in 1994, so it would be basically 44 years.
	Yeah, wow.
	But as you know, many followers feel that he continues to lead them by his inspiration and his teachings, which live on.
	Yes, that's clear.
	So I was telling you about my own issue about, given all the suffering on Earth, That the hardest commandment for me is the loving God issue, and you said that you were a kindred spirit in some ways, so continue.
	Yes.
	So, let me conclude my response, and I speak for myself here.
	So, to me, God, among many things, of course, I'm not going to the theological definition, but much more the personal one, is a reality that is greater than all of us.
	And recognizing that is the true, humble, and honest recognition that you did not create yourself.
	You're not self-made.
	And there is a creator of life that you're accountable to, that you answer to.
	And I mean that in a beautiful way.
	The obligation and the burden, but as a gift.
	And you have true purpose in life, in a sense, not because your father or mother or society told you you're important.
	Or because you have a lot of metals hanging on your wall or because you make a lot of money.
	These are all obviously mercurial.
	You matter because...
	I actually have a line in the book which I really like.
	His birth is God saying, you matter.
	You matter because that supreme creator put you here with purpose.
	You're not negligible.
	You're not optional.
	You matter.
	It doesn't matter whether there's 7.8 billion people on earth.
	You have an indispensable role to play.
	Now, when you say love God, I would define loving God, loving that aspect.
	Loving the fact that I can feel I'm part of a true eternal destiny, something that will not just die with me, something that is not temporary and ever-changing, but something that I will leave a mark in this world.
	And I think that's worthy of loving.
	Now, it's true.
	God and existence has plenty of pain and suffering, so there are many complaints we can have to God.
	But I'll just paraphrase one of my most powerful lines that I identify with when God tells Job, and Job, of course, the great eternal sufferer, documented in the book of Job, and Job says, why am I suffering?
	Why is there human suffering?
	Why can't you make it a little easier?
	And God, paraphrasing, God says to him, were you there?
	When I created heaven and earth, you asked me this question.
	Basically, my interpretation is this.
	You ask me why there's suffering.
	Do you ask me why there's joy?
	Do you ask me why there's death?
	Do you ask me why there's birth?
	Do you ask me why there's suffering and pain?
	Do you ask me why there is purpose in life?
	In other words, we always ask the question when things aren't going well.
	When things are going well, very few people say, hey, God, tell me why did you put this whole thing in place?
	And I'm not trying to minimize the pain and tragedy and, in any way, the emotions that evokes within us.
	But I think any rational person has to ask themselves, one second, there's a big picture here.
	You know, yes, the pandemic has hit.
	It's one of the big themes I'm talking about now online and so on.
	The pandemic is hit.
	But there's a whole picture to life.
	Yes, people have died.
	But there's so many aspects of life, there's a blessing.
	Why are we focusing only on that part?
	That is the negative.
	And I'm not trying to dismiss it.
	And to me, loving God is loving the entirety.
	I would not exist if God did not put me here.
	I think that's pretty valuable to love.
	I don't know if many other things are so lovable, I should say.
	That's my take on it.
	Very good.
	What's your message, or not even message, forget message.
	What is your personal take on death?
	Well, I remember my father passed, died 15 years ago.
	Just let me take my...
	It was the first time I really encountered death firsthand, immediate family member, my father.
	And he was 70 years old.
	He wasn't young.
	He wasn't old.
	And I remember the void.
	I remember, like, when sitting Shiva, I realized I was, like, so surreal.
	And I realized I was my own father at the time that...
	The door opens up between two realities twice in our lifetime.
	When the womb opens up and a child emerges from its mother's womb.
	And when the earth opens up to take back that body that lived whatever amount of time in this world.
	And I was in such, I would really say I was completely blown away and humbled.
	I remember when I stood up for sugar, I went for a walk with my sugar.

	I want to remind you about Riduzone, a product that is completely natural.
	It contains OEA. OEA is produced by the human body to tell your brain that you are full.
	It's the only FDA-accepted product that does include OEA. OEA, as I said, makes you feel full faster, burns fat.
	That's a big deal.
	Riduzone makes it easier to resist cravings.

	I had a rough night last night when I saw all the baseball players at the Nationals-Yankees game taking a knee, and I thought they were doing so during the Star Spangled Banner.
	I saw a lot of comments on social media.
	I'm out.
	That's it.
	Never going to go to another baseball game or watch another baseball game again.
	And then I found out pretty quickly they didn't take a knee at the Nationals-Yankees game during the anthem.
	Every single player stood respectfully during the Star Spangled Banner.
	That's the takeaway.
	Taking a knee during a Morgan Freeman video and holding a black ribbon of unity as the players did.
	Was before the national anthem.
	And then for the anthem, they all rose and they stood respectfully for the Star-Spangled Banner.
	That's a big difference.
	And I don't know that a lot of people know the difference.
	I think people saw that image.
	And I know there was another game and there were a couple players.
	We're going to see people taking a knee and you'll get to make a decision about how you respond to that.
	But listen, the president said it last night, Sean Hannity had a one-on-one with President Trump.
	It was fascinating.
	I really wish everybody who hates this man would be willing to take 20 minutes of their life and watch the whole interview.
	I mean, here's the president on the phone from the White House.
	Sean, of course, is a huge supporter and an advocate of President Trump and conservatism.
	And it just gives you insights into the way the man thinks. - Keep up with what's trending.

	- Four years ago, five years ago, no one had heard the term deep state, much less been convinced That there was such a thing.
	We see that the threat is keener than ever.
	It doesn't matter whether you refer to it as Dwight Eisenhower, one of the greatest presidents of my lifetime did, as the military industrial complex, or you call it the deep state.
	It's the same thing.
	It's the permanent political establishment in place that is both Republicans and Democrats working together.
	for oppressive policies, but mostly interested only in their own power and wealth.
	It is atheistic.
	They believe in no God.

	It's an interesting question.
	Be that as it may, it's not that interesting.
	But it's where my brain goes.
	I admit it.
	I can't say that that was a riveting question.
	Got to be self-critical here.
	Welcome back.
	Third hour, Tuesdays, the big issues of life.
	We can't get bigger than this.
	Rabbi Simon Jacobson is my guest.
	The book Toward a Meaningful Life, based on the wisdom of this extraordinary rabbi known as the Rebbe.
	He was the head of the Chabad movement for 40 plus years, until relatively recently.
	So we're talking now about the death.
	And you were talking about the...
	Some realizations that hit you when your father passed away.
	Right.
	And essentially, for me, it demonstrated a type of like a door opening up to another reality that we don't usually see.
	You know, the mystery of life and death.
	And almost everything else seemed to pale in comparison.
	So for me, death was an extremely humbling experience, like an epiphany.
	I would say.
	Epiphany recognizing that we know so little about existence.
	I'll tell you, Dennis, I'm asked very often the question, where does this all go to once someone dies?
	You know, everyone asks that question.
	Where'd my father go to, my mother, my cousin, my brother, sister?
	And I always, loss of words, until I came up with some idea, which I want to share, which is almost a humorous, ridiculous analogy, but it works.
	And I say, listen, imagine an imaginary conversation between a refrigerator and electricity.
	And the refrigerator asks electricity, where do you go to when they pull the plug?
	And of course, electricity responds incredulously, what kind of chutzpah is that?
	What do you mean where I go to?
	You're a little box, a refrigerator.
	They just invented you the last century or two.
	They figured out how to generate me electricity to energize you and refrigerate food.
	And now you ask me where I go, like you're the center of the universe?
	I go back to my regular place, which is beyond the time and space of your little box.
	The question when we ask where do things go is as if we are the center of existence.
	And now upon death, where does the soul go to?
	I don't mean to be dismissive.
	Everyone I say this to, even who are going through serious loss, say, absolutely, of course.
	We're not the center.
	We're here.
	We know little, very little about the life we live.
	From the moment we're conceived to the moment we die.
	But we sometimes convince ourselves that that's all there is.
	Whatever's happening in my life right now is all that matters.
	And to have that bigger picture of recognizing that we're part of something much greater than just the here and now.
	We're here part of the past.
	We're leading into the future.
	It's to me the real meditation and the emotional experience one should have.
	And I definitely had when I experienced that.
	Does the belief in an afterlife give you comfort?
	I wouldn't say it gives me comfort, because to me, the afterlife is back then.
	I mean, it's not back then.
	It's whatever that happens.
	To me, what gives me comfort is knowing the soul doesn't die, and it continues the journey.
	I assume that's what you meant.
	Yeah, that is what I mean.
	I admit it keeps me sane, because...
	The thought that this is all there is with all the suffering that people endure would be too much.
	Absolutely.
	That's an enduring journey, yeah.
	So here's another one for you.
	I was invited many years ago to Washington, D.C., Young Presidents Organization, an international group, invited a Catholic priest, Protestant minister, and a Jew.
	I was the Jew.
	And they asked, they didn't tell us any of the questions that would be posed.
	They wanted spontaneous answers.
	Question number one, gentlemen, it was three men.
	Question number one, why did God create us?
	So the Protestant minister and the Catholic priest were truly eloquent, and they gave the answer that basically we are here to glorify God.
	My turn to speak, and I said, after what you just heard, my answer is going to sound pitiful.
	Or just truly not meeting the criteria of excellence that you just heard.
	But I believe God created us to enjoy life.
	So you are totally free, again, Rabbi Jacobson, to say, I don't agree with you, but that's what I said.
	My follow-up question to you would have been, how do you define enjoy?
	But that's because I, in a way, agree with you, and I would not agree, depending on what you mean by enjoy.
	Because if every one of us determines what enjoy means, you can imagine this frivolous pleasure.
	Yeah, I did not mean it in the sense of hedonism, that it's the pursuit of pleasure.
	I meant it like the founders whom you quoted, and you just stopped right before the line, of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
	Correct.
	Okay.
	So then, I would phrase it a bit differently because I wouldn't want it to be misunderstood.
	But I would, if I was the fourth guy on the panel, I would say God created us in order to transform this material world into a spiritual environment, a loving environment, a beautiful world, a garden.
	And doing so means living life to the fullest.
	Not through abstinence and through asceticism and through deprivation, but using everything that we're blessed with, our gifts, our talents, and yes, our pleasures, toward a higher end.
	And I would quote to Maimonides that the messianic better world is what?
	Is a world where materialism is seen as a stepping stone and a means to higher awareness, to higher consciousness.
	So that would probably be my way of phrasing it.
	When I go, I want to go back to the afterlife, because I tell people who have lost, especially a child, I believe with all my heart and soul, they will encounter that child again.
	Do you?
	Yes.
	It may not be in a form and shape that we always understand, but remember, at the end of the day, the relationship between parent and child is a soulful one, not just a physical one.
	In that sense, absolutely.
	Okay, we'll be back in a moment.

	At every turn, it seems like there are more unanswered questions and few honest explanations it seems like there are more unanswered questions and few honest explanations about why so many of our liberties are 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 than fear God.
	When you stand before God at the final judgment, what will you say to him about how you voted on abortion laws?
	outro music We're going to be getting back to Mr. Biden in just a second.
	Some of the things he said about President Trump being racist.
	It's just unreal.
	This is a man, Joe Biden, who has lied and said that the NAACP has endorsed him when the NAACP came out and said, excuse me, we're a 501c3 corporation.
	We can't endorse anybody.
	Oops.
	Lied about trying to visit Nelson Mandela and getting arrested in his attempt.
	He said he was with Andrew Young.
	Andrew Young was the first black ambassador to the United Nations.
	Marched with MLK, was there when MLK was shot at that motel in Tennessee.
	And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, and nope.
	And I've told you Biden has for decades.
	Talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware.
	Zero evidence he ever did.
	Now, why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of black people?
	What it shows you is he thinks of black people as stupid.
	Obviously not capable of investigating these false claims.
	And by the way, as props.
	I'll just show you how much I care, how much I care, how much I care.
	Never mind my policies are hurtful.
	Never mind I'm going to oppose choice in schools even though urban parents want that.
	Never mind I'm going to advocate a bigger and bigger welfare state even though dependencies create followless households.
	Never mind!

	Okay, everybody.
	Final segment, unfortunately.
	I'm enjoying this man, Simon Jacobson.
	A distinguished Chabad rabbi.
	Chabad is a major movement, if not the major movement in Judaism in our time.
	The book is Toward a Meaningful Life.
	There was a rabbi in New York called...
	I finally gave up, but I understand that.
	He was mentioning about Maimonides saying we can come to God through nature.
	There are many ways, obviously, of coming to God.
	I want to end with a...
	With a question I have an answer to, but I want your answer.
	There is now a major movement across the Western world, and not just the Western world, Japan as well, of not having children.
	Bad for the environment, expensive, the world is filled with pain.
	In one minute, what would you say to a young couple about having children?
	The greatest gift in life is being able to perpetuate our lives, our values, the spirit of what we stand for.
	Children is the only taste of eternity we will ever have in life.
	Everything we build, everything we develop, at the end of the day, will perish.
	And it's the children who in turn will have children, who in turn will have children, that create the ultimate transformation.
	That lasts forever and ever.
	And we wouldn't be here had our parents made that choice not to have children.
	And they wouldn't be here if their parents made that choice.
	So anything beautiful in this world is a result of our offspring.
	Everything in nature bears fruit.
	And to try to stop in any way to impede an apple tree from giving off apples or an orange tree doing the same is really, I think, a tragedy.
	So it is.
	Are you aware of that movement, or does that matter?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I mean, I see it.
	I don't need to go to Japan.
	I can tell you, I'm in New York.
	I mean, how many people make that choice?
	I deal with it all the time.
	I actually just last week had a conversation on a Zoom conference with a whole bunch of couples, and some of them asked that question.
	You know, maybe we shouldn't bring children to this world.
	Look what's going on.
	And one of them, of course, said, I was abused as a child.
	I don't want to bring another child.
	So I said to them, so don't abuse your child.
	Learn from the lessons and bring love.
	Where will there be love if there's no love for children?
	I mean, we're more a natural place to love is to love our child.
	You know, anyone that's held a newborn child knows it's what it elicits and the person is the best to who we are.
	I mean, it's mind-boggling to me that we live in a society and it's even a consideration.
	Obviously...
	There may be extraneous circumstances, right?
	Of course, but that's not as a philosophical issue.
	You've been a joy, Rabbi Jacobson.
	May I, just to tell my people that I've done a lot of programs now in this pandemic at MeaningfulLife.com.
	Same name as my book, MeaningfulLife.com.
	Wonderful.
