This happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there's some evidence that pre-existing immunity doesn't work and doesn't hold.
So these are signs that we are going to be, like with the flu, facing something that will continue to change on us.
Most of these changes are completely harmless and completely irrelevant.
most of these changes, and this virus has been evolving this whole time in front of our eyes, have had no real impact.
But occasionally they do.
And that just means our science needs to be better.

Where do you see this ending?
In other words, I fear that all of these ideologies are a snake swallowing its own tail.
In other words, they basically destroy, destroy.
They don't have the beginning of a clue what they would want to replace it with.
Marxism, I really can't imagine what they're suggesting.
What they're suggesting is a woke ideology of so-called anti-racism that is a profound misnomer that's really a profound race consciousness.
You know, our institutions and our politics are downstream of culture, and they are destroying our culture one pillar at a time.
And an extremely important element of culture throughout all human history is memory.
It's knowing who you are as a people, what you're about, what your story is.
And when Jesse Jackson 30 years ago had that ridiculous chant, you know, hey, hey, ho-ho, Western Civ has to go, that was really the...
First battle cry in this fight to make us forget who we are.
And it's not just forgetting, it's also lying about who we are.
We see this particularly in the 1619 Project and its poisonous view of America that wants to make the American founding.
about slavery when the American founding was an incredible advance in human civilization and enlightenment and Liberty and created in the north a Movement against slavery that eventually would eliminate slavery in the entire country in in the

I wish I could get into all of your heads how you react when I read you the story that they're changing math because they're charging it with being white supremacy and arguing for there being always a right or wrong answer.
In math.
I'll tell you the truth is.
It's hard for me to get into my head.
This is beyond...
Well, it's the end of 1984, right?
Where they have Winston saying 2 plus 2 equals 5. But that's not because of...
Ethnomathematics.
That is because they have finally gotten him to say what the left wants him to say in a totalitarian state, which we are approaching.
We're not there.
I want to make that clear.
But leftists are totalitarian.
Liberals are not.
But liberals vote for totalitarian, so they're largely useless.
Sweetest people in many instances.
People I adore personally.
But on the macro issues, they're useless because they don't vote.
They vote pure heart.
The right is bad.
The left is not as bad.
Anyway, they don't even know this.
The number of people, liberal or left, who know what I read to you now about the Oregon Department of Education...
I don't believe 1% of liberals and leftists know this.
They are kept away from the left-wing destruction of the country, so they don't know about it.
That's why they can't understand us.
What animates you folks on the right?
An awareness of what the left is doing that you do not have.
Evidence?
Watch on YouTube when I was on Bill Maher's show a year and a half ago.
A couple of months before the lockdowns.
And I spoke about the left saying that men menstruate.
The guy couldn't stop laughing at me, not with me.
And I respect him for having me on, but I want to make that clear.
And the audience just couldn't stop laughing.
What a joke!
Where did Prager come up with this nonsense that the left says men menstruate?
And that...
It's a perfect example of they don't know how bad the left is, including many who are on the left.
How does this pass muster?
How do you explain any teacher who can tell a class without thinking they are ruining their lives?
There isn't one right answer in math.
You can come up with your own answer.
Now, the charge that the idea of objective truth is white supremacy, which is what they charge.
They charge this a lot, not just in Oregon.
There's an irony here, because the Ku Klux Klan would agree with them.
Yep, whites believe in truth, non-whites don't.
The left agrees with that?
Eh.
And the right, not the right, nobody on the right agrees with that.
and the Ku Klux Klan.
What will it take for you to get your kids out of school?
I...
I don't think I could persuade you.
I think I persuade some, obviously.
But most people listening who respect me, We'll still not take their kids out of a regular school.
Regular meaning private as well as public.
And either put them in a school that does teach truth, that believes in objective truth, or homeschool them.
I can't report anything worse than drag queen story hour and ethnomathematics.
So if that doesn't persuade you to take your kid out of school, what if I told you that, spoiler alert, I'm making this up, but what if they taught your kid, if your parents are Republican or conservative, they are the enemy of society?
Now, they basically do teach that, but they don't say you're a parent.
But if they did teach that, would you then think, I've got to take my kid out?
But then all you need to understand is that is the inference that your kid is expected to draw from the indoctrination that he or she receives at school.
Alright, let me see.
I wanted to take Sacramento, California.
Courtney, hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Thanks for taking my call.
If I could just add a little bit to this math conversation.
I have been doing some research about this.
No one will be surprised that obviously this is also happening in California.
What I found most alarming and that parents should be aware of is that there's a...
They also say that showing your work is an example of white supremacy.
Right, I read that.
Go ahead.
Yeah, the partners of this are Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley, the people who are partnering with the groups that are pushing this kind of curriculum, Los Angeles County Office of Education, Sacramento County Office of Education, San Diego Office of Education.
This is going to show up in classrooms.
And if parents think that it is a right-wing loony conspiracy, The people who write our textbooks that is adopted in states that schools are allowed to use, these are the very people who are funding this equitable mask.
Yes.
God bless you, your kindred spirit.
This has nothing to do with conspiracy theory.
It's a fact.
I read to you from their words, not from Fox's.
The office of the Oregon Department of Education.
And it comes from California.
One of the things I wanted to go through is how the Democrats tampered with evidence.
And I was going through it with our team.
I said, you do know that Eric Swalwell, who's a lover of Fang Fang, the Chinese Communist Party spy, he tampered with evidence.
And David Shone, to his great credit, came out and proved that point.
That Eric Swalwell...
And this is why this is not a trial.
This is a Hollywood Broadway production.
That's all this is.
In a real trial, you'd say, Your Honor, this evidence is tampered with.
So you had Swalwell, the lover of Fang Fang, who came out and said that Donald Trump called for the cavalry to come.
Cavalry.
Now, anyone in the Christian world knows that there's a difference between Calvary and Calvary.
I sometimes, unintentionally, mispronounce one or the other, but I know the difference.
Calvary, C-A-L, cavalry.
One is where Christ was crucified.
The other is horse-mounted military.
So Eric Swalwell reads Jennifer Lawrence's tweet, who says, Mr. President, the cavalry is coming.
So Eric Swalwell then comes out and says, well, on the House impeachment floor, you see here, President Trump, he was calling in for reinforcements, and the cavalry is coming.
Now, to an untrained eye, you're like, well, that might be something, you know, maybe there might be...

I would just give a dollar and a donut to figure out what's in the mind of somebody like Senator Bill Cassidy.
Here's cut five.
This is the same guy who was last week, just the other day, on with Meet the Press and Chuck Todd.
The president wasn't there.
He wasn't allowed counsel.
They didn't amass evidence.
In five hours, they kind of judged, and boom, he's impeached.
Now, I'm told that under the Watergate, under the Clinton impeachments, there were truckloads of information.
Here, it was a video.
There was no process.
I mean, it's almost like, you know, if it happened in the Soviet Union, you would have called it a show trial.
That's the guy.
That was last week.
That's the guy who yesterday voted with the Democrats to proceed with the trial because he didn't like Bruce Castor.
And listen, Bruce Castor did a terrible job.
President Trump was said to be very angry behind the scenes.
Fox News quotes sources as saying Trump was furious and beyond angry over his defense team's showing on day one of his second impeachment trial.
Despite his ultimate acquittal almost certain, the sources who spent time with President Trump said he was particularly incensed with the effort thus far by his attorney, Bruce Castor.
do you get the feeling that the reason he hasn't had a strong showing by his lawyers is because no attorney wants to touch this thing?

Mike, what is the number one reason you think people in the state want him recalled?
Is it his handling of the COVID-19 crisis?
is it the the the way he's been ordering hello my friends I'm I'm Dennis Prager.
I very rarely tweet, which is a lacuna in my public persona.
In other words, a mistake.
Lacuna in my public persona is a fancy way of saying mistake.
But I put up a statement from Chilton Williamson Jr. in The Spectator, February 10th.
And it's a picture of the statement from the website.
My statement, this perfectly sums up the state of American education from the current issue of The Spectator.
The modern, quote-unquote, science of pedagogy, that's education, Founded by Dr. Dewey early in the 20th century, has an even more deplorable record.
In America especially, where it has had huge success in, and then I italicize, graduating generations of wholly ignorant people whose sole body of knowledge consists of what is obviously not true.
Is that awesome?
That's exactly right.
And this ethnomathematics is a perfect example of it.
Graduating generations of wholly ignorant people whose sole body of knowledge consists of what is obviously not true.
Go to my Twitter site, Dennis Prager, and take a look at it.
A lot of people did, apparently, and I'm very happy about that.
some of them right you should see that there is by the way you know that there are trolls who wait for me to tweet And the first comments are always, you know, anti-me?
So here's the first one.
It must have gone up, like, automatically as soon as mine went up.
People who believe in PragerU videos in a nutshell.
That's it.
I would love to compare people whose primary education has been PragerU videos about their knowledge of life and history and contemporary events with a typical public school or private school kid of the same age.
I'd be very happy to do that.
That's fascinating.
Anyway, you should see it at my Twitter site or Twitter page.
Thank you.
The beauty of math, I repeat, is the fact that there is always, whenever they could find one, but there's always one right answer.
This is the square root of that.
A squared plus B squared equals C squared.
Is that math or is that geometry?
It's geometry, but is that considered a form of math?
Huh?
Yeah?
How come you whispered it?
You didn't want the public to hear you affirming the obvious?
There is a piece in the Wall Street Journal.
This man...
It's eerie.
Like a lot of you say, oh my God, you're saying exactly what I believe.
So I have that reaction to this piece by a man named David Satter.
I'd like to have on.
He's on the board, advisory board of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
Wall Street Journal.
The spirit of the Soviet Union has re-emerged with mass support in the United States.
For the past four years, potted histories have warned about the rise of fascism in the U.S. But the real danger is the transformation of tolerance into an ideology with its own courts, informers, and punishments, all of them reminiscent of the Soviet Union.
One of the pillars of the Soviet Union was a controlled press in which all coverage was organized to confirm a mendacious, that is lying, ideology.
A friend of mine in Moscow, Vladimir Fyodorov, went to work for the TASS News Service, that was under the Soviets, which offered readers not news, but a correct depiction of events.
Correct is in quotes.
Especially regarding the U.S. and the ulcers of capitalism, racism, crime, and unemployment.
In other words, the guy was hired the way someone today is hired by the New York Times, to do the same thing.
See my column from a couple of months ago, The Sovietization of California.

now on the Eric Metaxas Show. - We'll move on to what is the main event at the moment, which is the radicalism of the Biden agenda, pushing a lot of stuff out unilaterally and also pushing a massive stimulus.
You know, we all can agree, I think we need some more COVID relief, but it's much, much bigger than that and has a massive national minimum wage increase that would hammer the job market at a time when we should be doing everything to support it.
It is almost as if, and I hesitate to say it because it doesn't sound sane, but it's almost as if they are trying to destroy the economy itself.
It's so bizarre.
Would you give them enough credit to say that they're not trying to bring some kind of socialism or big government dependence?
To us via these strange means?
Because that's kind of what it looks like to me.
Yeah, that is what they're trying to do.
I mean, it's based on a misbegotten but sincere view of what the country should be in their minds and how the economy works.
But if you get closer to where you are in the world than where I am at the moment, you know, a place like Alabama, the median wage is $15 an hour.
That means, I'm not a statistics guy, but half of people make less than that.
So what's going to happen to their jobs when you mandate that they all have to make $15 an hour?
Well, they're either no longer going to have jobs, or their hours are going to be cut, or the employers are going to find a way to automate.
So this just makes zero sense.
I'm all in favor of a tight labor market.
I think that was one of the beauties of the Trump economy when it was really cooking prior to the pandemic.

Trial.
To proceed.
Chilling video.
Managers open by reviving riot.
And then the vote was taken.

Six Republicans joined with the Democrats in claiming that this show trial, this snap impeachment, is constitutional.
Bill Cassidy, for some reason, out of The Clear Blue.
Last week, he's on TV saying, oh, it's a show trial.
Doesn't mean anything.
It's unconstitutional.
But because he didn't like the performance of the president's lawyers yesterday, somehow he decided...
Okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here, Dennis Prager here, letting you know again, as I do almost every day, how teachers are corrupting education.
Do you have a better way of describing it?
Are teachers protesting in Oregon that math should be taught in the way to depict that there is a correct answer as white racism, as a form of colonialism?
By the way, here's a funny one.
But it's not funny.
It's just, it's absurd.
I think that's better.
You ever see, you know the three wise men?
The three wise monkeys?
See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil.
Officials at the University of York in the United Kingdom, there is a contest between Canada, the U.S. UK, Australia, and New Zealand, the English-speaking countries, there is a contest about which can commit suicide fastest.
That is the contest.
I don't know who's winning.
Every time I think America is committing suicide faster, I look at Canada, and they may be going faster.
Then I look at the UK. So here's a UK example.
Officials at the University of York in the United Kingdom removed a depiction of three wise monkeys from the school's website.
After organizers of an upcoming history conference complained, the image could be deemed offensive to minorities.
So I'm curious.
There's a picture of it on their website, the three wise monkeys.
One holding, covering his mouth, one covering his ears, and one covering his eyes.
Oh, speak no evil, not do no evil.
That was the third one, right.
This is a very famous thing.
And it doesn't even originate in Western culture, as you will hear.
How many people look at that and think, oh, look at that, non-white?
The answer is the left.
That's the only answer.
I just think it's three monkeys.
What do you say to that?
Radical.
Upon reflection, we strongly believe that our first poster is not appropriate as its iconology promulgates a long-standing visual legacy of oppression and exploits racist stereotypes.
You must understand, if there's racism in the Three Monkeys, and if there's racism in mathematics, do you not understand my point how little racism there is?
The left invents it.
They've always invented foes.
In order to suppress liberty.
That's what they do.
They invent foes.
They invented an insurrection.
There was a riot, but there was no insurrection.
They invented collusion between the Trump campaign and Vladimir Putin's Russia.
They invent things.
It's Jussie Smollett exponential.
The three wise monkeys were supposed to represent the Japanese proverb, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, which describes people who turn a blind eye to wrongdoing.
But the organizers worried the imagery could be offensive.
We bring this to your attention so that we may be held accountable for our actions and our privileges.
Do and be better.
Oof.
The move to remove the image caused confusion among some scholars in Japanese history, with the former curator of the British Museum's Japanese collection, Tim Clark, saying he had, quote, no idea, unquote, why people would find the image racist.
Japanese Buddhism expert Dr. Lucia Dolce echoed Clark's sentiment, arguing that the monkeys would not be used to insult other cultures or races.
Quote, because the monkeys is a sacred being, they are vehicles to the deities.
How do you like that?
Now, to be honest, when I see the three monkeys covering one, his mouth, I assume it's a he, but it could be a she, one covering its, I'll use, eyes, one covering its ears, I don't think vehicles to deities either.
I don't see vehicles to deities, and I don't see non-whites.
I see three monkeys depicted in a way of saying people don't want to fight evil.
You're right?
The word is evil.
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
It's unbelievable.
Boredom and affluence is a bad combo.
These people are bored and wealthy, or at least very materially comfortable.
All right, everybody.
J.R. in Columbus, Ohio.
Hello.
Hey, Dennis.
Every day I listen to you, I learn something new.
But here's what's going on in Columbus, Ohio.
My son is an engineer at OSU. I'm very proud of him.
If my son told the professor that there's no wrong answer in mathematics, I think he'd be asked to leave.
And my daughter, this is the saddest part, 17 years old.
My children are wonderful young adults.
My daughter's 17 years old.
I just found out a week ago my wife has been taking her to therapy.
She is a four-point student, varsity athlete, and this staying-at-home stuff is killing these kids.
It is killing them.
That's right.
And I can't say it strongly enough, and here's what I've come to acknowledge.
Where is the backbone of this country?
Because we're not going on a month or two months.
That's right.
We're going on a year, and we put up with it every day.
That's right.
Well, that is the reason.
Remember, I substituted the land of the free and the home of the brave with better safe than sorry at the end of the national anthem.

I was a Cuban American and the problem with the Cuban Americans is that we are the only ethnic group that you can make fun of and pay no consequence.
The Cuban Americans in the United States could be make fun of, mocked, but no one will ever pay a price.
Whether you are academia, whether you're the intelligentsia, whether you're in the news media, it doesn't matter.
Why?
Because we sided with the United States in the very big fight with a big Satan that was loved and adored for 60 years by the rest of the world.
You know, I've never heard that before.
I've often cited to my friends on the left.
Armando Valladares, Against All Hope, as the Bible they've got to read to have even a glimpse.
If they're an Anglo like me and they're Irish Catholic, they need to read that book.
But I have never heard what you just said.
I didn't realize that that is something you believe.
I've heard it said that anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice, which I believe.
I'm a Catholic.
But you just said with great passion and conviction that this goes on all the time about Cuban-Americans, and that's news to me, Congresswoman Salazar.
Well, but think about it.
Think about it.
They can deride us.
They can make fun of us.
They can do anything to us.
Anyone.
The academia, even the news organizations.
And there is no price to pay.
Why?
If you were to do that to any other ethnic group in the United States, you would have to, oh, I apologize.

I'm so sorry.
We made a mistake.
It never happens with the Cuban Americans.

Now my next guest is involved in the effort to recall the governor of California, an effort that at one time seemed pretty fanciful but no longer.
You know it's getting serious when the governor's staff begins to call the effort a coup and suggests that it is being led in part by white nationalists.
My guest is a vet of distribution sales and marketing, has served in senior exec roles at places like Corporate Express and Staples.

unique hi everybody Dennis Prager, by the way.
My column this week, it's my Tuesday column.
It's, if I may say, a very important one.
I would love you to send this to relatives and friends of the non-conservative persuasion.
It's titled, Given How Flawed Human Nature Is, America Has Been a Remarkable Moral Achievement.
See, I expect countries to be pretty awful because the human condition is such.
Goodness is more rare than evil.
I don't mean the goodness of somebody, you know, sweetly letting you in in line if you're carrying more packages, which is a good thing.
But when the test comes, evil generally wins.
I'd like to share with you an insight.
At literally three in the morning, I'm a night person.
I can't help it.
That's my rhythm.
Three in the morning, Saturday night, I watched a one-hour video of a speech given by one of the finest human beings I've had the honor of knowing, Sir Martin Gilbert, the major historian of Churchill, and a major writer on the Holocaust as well.
I knew him, and I had him on the show.
He's passed away.
Unfortunately.
He gave a speech in San Diego to a Jewish group.
It's on YouTube.
And he did a whole book, which I then ordered, on rescuers of Jews in the Holocaust.
People who, in many cases, risked their lives and their families' lives, especially in Poland, to save a Jew from the Nazis.
And the stories were so...
Uplifting.
That in a dark time, it's worth...
I should put it up.
That's what I should really do.
I should tweet it out, and I should also put it up at DennisPrager.com.
You can see it.
Martin Gilbert, Rescuers of Jews.
I guess that would get you there.
It's on YouTube.
But I came away with another...
Aside from the uplift, I came away with another realization, which I've always had, but somehow you know.
You've always thought something, but then something becomes like starker.
It's just stronger in your understanding.
Goodness is done by a few people.
Keep that in mind as we...
Look at what is happening in America.

Is it the way he's been ordering things like oil and gas leases and pushing a left-wing agenda?
That can't be it because this is a left-wing state, so people must be ticked off about his handling of the COVID-19.
And Mike, if that's the case...
Then what happens when the vaccines kick in?
And what happens when Governor Newsom begins to back down as he's already begun to back down?
California has 5 million Republicans and 9 million Democrats.
But our biggest problem we have out here is there's 6.5 million NPPs, people that just aren't paying attention.
They actually tend to be conservative.
And the one thing that's uniting the state, believe it or not, on the right and the left is actually Gavin himself.
The number one reason if you were to boil into two buckets is everything you said.
But the reality is he's a bad leader making poor decisions.
And COVID just amplified.
We started this before COVID really hit the scene, if you will.
This has just amplified the cycle and things like dining at the French Laundry.
You think that's not a bad decision?
The EDD, oops, we handed out $30 billion of money we shouldn't have.
You think that's bad management?

*music* The 1918 virus iterated 12 times over the summer of 1918 and emerged deadlier.
Do we know about these variants in any sort of way that alarms you, Andy, beyond the ordinary alarm that would arrive with any virus?
My job is probably to be in a state of alarm and playing through bad scenarios and trying to plan for those scenarios, even hoping many of them don't come to fruition.
I think these variants are not good news.
These variants suggest that there is enough multiplication of this virus out here that the virus...
It's going to go through this evolutionary path more quickly than we had hoped to try to resist where it can.
Now, the good news is that the major variant, the one coming out of England, UK, the one they call B.1.1.7, the vaccine and human immunity seems to hold up very well against that.
There are other mutations.
Where there's been more than one mutation to the spike protein, as this happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there's some evidence that pre-existing immunity doesn't work and doesn't hold.
So these are signs that we are going to be, like with the flu, facing something that will continue to change on us.
Most of these changes are completely harmless and completely irrelevant.
Most of these changes, and this virus has been evolving this whole time in front of our eyes, have had no real impact.
But occasionally they do.
And that just means our science needs to be better.

The 1918 virus iterated 12 times over the summer of 1918 and emerged deadlier.
Do we know about these variants in any sort of way that alarms you, Andy, beyond the ordinary alarm that would arrive with any virus?
My job is probably to be in a state of alarm and playing through bad scenarios and trying to plan for those scenarios, even hoping many of them don't come to fruition.
I think these variants are not good news.
These variants suggest that there is enough multiplication of this virus out here that the virus is not going
to be the same.
This is the Ultimate Issues Hour.
I'm Dennis Prager.
I feel thoroughly vindicated in having an Ultimate Issues Hour for the last, I don't know, 15 years.
Now you realize the ultimate issues are the issues that matter as the country is in jeopardy of being transformed into an unfree country from a free country.
It was founded to be free.
So you realize how important the ultimate issues are.
Kids are not given ultimate issues.
What does America stand for?
They probably say racism today.
It would be interesting to ask an 8th grader, what does America stand for?
I knew when I was in 8th grade because I watched Superman.
Truth, justice, and the American way.
That was the motto of Superman.
I can't tell you how yearning that makes me for that period.
To which, of course, the left will say, oh, but do you know how blacks were treated then?
As if that is the entirety of the American experience.
As if it is the entirety of the black experience.
It's bad enough without making it the dominant theme of a society.
You know of any other multiracial society on earth that's done better?
United States took in Vietnamese boat people.
Japan didn't.
Fellow Asians were not acceptable because the Japanese want to keep Japan Japanese.
America's not interested in keeping America white.
It's interested in keeping America American.
Well, now you know the reason for the Ultimate Issues Hour.
One of the many reasons.
Today's subject is the result of my watching what I mentioned at the end of the last hour.
I watched a speech.
Now, it's pretty rare for me to do that, to watch an hour-long speech, because of the time constraints of my life.
Nevertheless, at 3 a.m., I don't even know how it popped up, but a man I knew pretty well, who was a giant, As a scholar and as a human being, Sir Martin Gilbert, yes, he was knighted, and he was the official biographer of Winston Churchill, multi-volume work.
He also wrote one or two books.
He wrote a book on the Holocaust and a book on rescuers.
So, I listened to the stories of rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust, people who risked their lives for strangers.
The ultimate act of altruism.
And in some cases, like Poland, you were put to death.
We don't know how many Poles were killed by the Nazis for saving Jews.
There's no way to know.
So people did these immensely heroic things, and the stories were so touching.
It's actually, you want to feel a little better about humanity?
Watch this talk.
Sir Martin Gilbert.
But I began to think, in the overall scheme, the percentage of rescuers was tiny.
Absolutely tiny.
The largest percentage of rescuers per population was in Poland.
The smallest was in Hungary.
Interested in that, and I'm going to speak to my friend Sebastian Gork about that.
He's Hungarian, and I adore him.
Anyway, the stories are quite remarkable.
So I concluded, among other things, only minorities of people, only small numbers really achieve good.
It is very rare for goodness to be achieved By large numbers of people.
That's the way it is.
I wish it were not so.
There's a phrase in Hebrew about such a group.
It's called, in English, the saving remnant.
That there is a saving remnant that saves a place.
I feel that in the United States today.
How many of you are alone at your place of work, at your school?
Feel alone, because you are largely alone in upholding liberty and freedom and objectivity and truth, the basic Judeo-Christian value system.
You're alone.
There are a few of you, but you're largely alone.
I felt this when I was at Columbia.
My graduate school years.
I remember it.
I'm mentioning it because I so distinctly remember one night at a restaurant across the street from Columbia.
Broadway and 116th Street, Manhattan.
And I remember thinking, I'm alone here.
I believe in God.
I believe in the Bible.
I believe in America.
And I knew one other student, literally one.
I'm sure there were more, but I only knew one who shared my values.
So please understand, this is the way it works.
So here's another question, and the one I want, or not question, this is the statement I wish to make for the Ultimate Issues Hour.
All of my life, I have said that the single most important question in society is how do you make good people?
That is the single most important question society must address.
And the left has made it that we don't ask that question.
We ask, they ask, how do we make a good society?
Wrong question!
That is like saying, how do you make a good salad?
The ingredients have to be good.
You can't make a good salad without good ingredients.
Or a good cake, or a good anything.
How you make a good society is stupid.
How you make individuals good is everything.
There is no attention to the question, how do you make a good individual?
None.
It is all macro-ethics, not micro.
Ethics are micro.
You know how you make a good society?
You make good people.
There is no other way.
The Judeo-Christian tradition and values understand that that's the question.
So they have character development.
Like I did in my religious Jewish education.
The motto in my yeshiva, as it was called, which I went to until 18 years of age, half the day in Hebrew, religious studies, half the day in English, secular studies.
It's pretty intense.
And they never said something very popular in the 70s.
I'm okay, you're okay.
That was a big motto.
Name of a book, very popular.
By the way, the end of the sentence, it was not the end of the sentence in the book.
The book was, I'm okay, you're okay.
But the real implication was, I'm okay, you're okay, it's America that stinks.
Or sucks, to use the language of the day.
We're great, America stinks.
Turned out it was the opposite.
America was great, and they stunk.
That was the real case.
As usual, it was the opposite of what folks on the left say.
But this is everything.
Fight racism, all this, all that, make equality.
Everything is society concentrated.
Meanwhile, we're not producing decent people.
But it's the single most difficult question and most important question in life, in society.
How do you make good people?
Because the raw material ain't great.
You can make good people.
The raw material of human nature enables us to be truly good.
But undirected and undisciplined and without values, we become what we are made to be, animals.

What's the next step, Congressman?
I would say a few things.
One is, you have law enforcement, you have prosecutors at other levels of government that can take action.
That's the first thing.
Secondly...
The New York Republican congressional delegations, and our numbers are increasing.

Now, you have a confirmation hearing that's coming up.
Merrick Garland, the nominee to be the next Attorney General.
Inside of that confirmation hearing is a great opportunity for senators to maybe ask about this letter.
Or put aside my letter that was sent with my colleagues today, just asking about the underlying issue.
And you can't allow...
With all these different confirmation hearings, the person who's answering your question to just not give you any answer on any of this, we need to get assurances that something like this is going to be pursued.

One of the things I wanted to go through is how the Democrats tampered with evidence.
And I was going through it with our team.
I said, you do know that Eric Swalwell, who's a lover of Fang Fang, the Chinese Communist Party spy, he tampered with evidence.
And David Shone, to his great credit, came out and proved that point.
That Eric Swalwell, And this is why this is not a trial.
This is a Hollywood Broadway production.
That's all this is.
In a real trial, you'd say, Your Honor, this evidence is tampered with.
So you had Swalwell, the lover of Fang Fang, who came out and said that Donald Trump called for the Calvary to come.
Calvary.
Now, anyone in the Christian world knows that there's a difference between Calvary and Calvary.
I sometimes, unintentionally, mispronounce one or the other, but I know the difference.
Calvary, C-A-L, cavalry.
One is where Christ was crucified.
The other is horse-mounted military.
So Eric Swalwell reads Jennifer Lawrence's tweet, who says, Mr. President, the cavalry is coming.
So Eric Swalwell then comes out and says, well, on the House impeachment floor, you see here, President Trump, he was calling in for reinforcements, and the cavalry is coming.
Now, to an untrained eye, you're like, well, there might be something, you know, maybe there might be...

Hello, my friends.
I'm Dennis Prager.
This is the Ultimate Issues Hour, the third hour every Tuesday.
Ultimate Issues Hour.
One of the ways I've explained it for over a decade of this broadcasting on Tuesdays is that the attempt is to give you wisdom.
If I had to retitle it, I don't want to retitle it, but if I did, it would be the Wisdom Hour.
But it would sound pompous in any way.
Nobody's turned on by the word wisdom.
That's turned on by the word knowledge.
That's a turn on.
Oh, he knows so much.
He's intelligent.
Oh, is he bright?
How often do you hear, oh, is he wise?
I don't care if somebody's bright.
Bright without wise is useless.
It's actually dangerous.
So I've always given the example of a map.
A map tells you exactly where you are.
Wisdom tells you where to go.
Knowing where you are is useless if you have no destination.
So the topic today was engendered by my watching a video in the wee hours of the morning, Saturday night, Sunday morning.
Sir Martin Gilbert, Churchill biographer, historian of the Holocaust.
He wrote a book about rescuers.
I thought I had read every book on rescuers, but I didn't.
So I ordered his book.
The reason I've read books on rescuers of Jews in the Holocaust is that I have always understood that the bigger puzzle is not evil.
The bigger puzzle is good.
I understand why most people went along With the dominant thinking of the time in a Nazi-occupied country, or just out of fear.
There, by the way, one of the stories you will find is fascinating, because I have actually noted this.
I have a book on anti-Semitism, Why the Jews?
I taught Jewish history at Brooklyn College, so I'm aware of this subject, to say the least.
Part of the non-understanding of prejudice, there was a woman, I think, I forgot what country, one of the Nazi-occupied countries.
It might have been Germany.
And the woman was actually in favor of Jews leaving her country.
That's how anti-Semitic she was.
She found the idea of murdering Jews abhorrent.
And she led one of the largest campaigns to save Jews in one of these countries.
I don't remember which.
Is that amazing?
I've always said there are two types of anti-Semites.
Those who don't like Jews and those who want them exterminated.
I don't care about the first group.
I'm a Jew.
I don't care if you like me or not.
I care if you want to kill me.
That's why all this talk about, oh, well, he's a racist.
Does he act on it?
That's the issue.
Let's say there's a white.
He doesn't like non-whites.
What do you care?
The question is, does he act on it?
The left is so profoundly unsophisticated.
It is so superficial.
It is so intellectually baseless.
It boggles the mind.
Oh, you have racist thoughts.
We're all racist.
Well, the only question is, I don't care whether people are racist or not.
I care whether they act on their racism.
Same with anti-Semitism.
Do you act on your dislike of Jews?
Or do you just dislike Jews?
You're allowed.
This is true of all of life.
It's how you act, not how you feel.
Anyway, the idea of liking or disliking all members of a group, they're both absurd.
You dislike all Jews, you're an idiot.
But you're not a threat if you don't want them hurt.
Same with blacks, same with whites, same with any group.
Anyway, the same with loving all.
Do you love all the members of any group?
Do blacks love all blacks?
No, they don't.
They love blacks who are on the left.
We live in an age of truly of stupidity.
Surpassing stupidity.
Back to my subject.
How do you produce people who, in a time of peril, would rescue a Jew?
And I'm using the Jew as just an example.
Rescue, you fill in.
That's the question that people need to ask, and it's a very big puzzle.
How you produce good people.
However, the thesis of this Ultimate Issues Hour is that's the only way to produce a good society is by working on producing good people.
Telling your child to say thank you thousands and thousands of times is a better thing than joining a BLM protest.
You will do a lot more for society by teaching your child to say thank you.
Grateful people do good.
Ungrateful people do evil.
Gratitude is the big issue.
I've talked about that on a number of occasions.
The left teaches ingratitude.
It does.
What leftist is grateful to be an American?
Zero.
What conservative is grateful to be an American?
100%.
So what is a leftist grateful for?
It's a curious question.
What are you grateful for?
I'd love to hear the answer.
1-8-Prager-776-877-243-776 Did you work to make a good kid?
You know, I did an experiment my earliest years in radio.
I said...
Go home and ask your child if your child is 5 or 50. Doesn't matter.
What do you think I, your father, or I, your mother, most want or wanted you to be?
Let's see.
Smart, happy, successful, or good?
What?
Not what do you most want to be?
What do you think I, your parent, most want you or wanted you to be?
Again, if your child is 5 or 50, it's appropriate.
Smart, successful, happy, or good.
Chances are overwhelming.
Most children will not say good.

Here's cut five.
This is the same guy who was last week, just the other day, on with Meet the Press and Chuck Todd.
The president wasn't there.
He wasn't allowed counsel.
They didn't amass evidence.
In five hours, they kind of judged, and boom, he's impeached.
Now, I'm told that under the Watergate, under the Clinton impeachments, there were truckloads of information.
Here, it was a video.
There was no process.
I mean, it's almost like, you know, if it happened in the Soviet Union, you would have called it a show trial.
That's the guy.
That was last week.
That's the guy who yesterday voted with the Democrats to proceed with the trial because he didn't like Bruce Castor.
And listen, Bruce Castor did a terrible job.
President Trump was said to be very angry behind the scenes.
Fox News quotes sources as saying Trump was furious and beyond angry over his defense team's showing on day one of his second impeachment trial.
Despite his ultimate acquittal almost certain.
The sources who spent time with President Trump said he was particularly incensed with the effort thus far by his attorney Bruce Castor.
Do you get the feeling that the reason he hasn't had a strong showing by his lawyers is because no attorney wants to touch this thing?

Hello everybody, I'm Dennis Prager, the Ultimate Issues Hour.
I've always been preoccupied with studying goodness more than evil, because it's rarer.
How do you produce good people is the great riddle.
That's how you make a good society.
The notion of asking first, how do you make a good society, that's one of the utterly weak pillars of leftism.
No concentration on making the individual good, rather the society.
How do you make good individuals?
Should be the preoccupying concern of a parent.
More than how you make a good student, a good athlete, or anything else.
Compared to good people, good students and good athletes are a dime a dozen.
I don't poo-poo them.
But I'm just giving you the data.
I wish every good student was a good person.
It doesn't work that way.
Brightness and decency have nothing to do with one another.
Nothing.
Okay, let's go to Sarasota, Florida, and Patrick, hello.
Hello, Patrick.
Yes, Dennis, how are you?
I'm well.
Over the couple months, we've flipped through the channels, and I've listened to you a couple times, a few minutes driving.
You're in there.
But the ultimate issue, I guess, I would ask you, if suffering is not from God, what accounts for the mass suffering we see in this world?
And, you know, we know through history, it's been caused by oppressive governments.
That's been making it hard for people and mankind.
And I just wanted to note, really quick if I can, from Proverbs, it says that man has dominated man to his own injury.
Yeah, the problem is that Proverbs isn't taught anymore in our schools.
There's no wisdom taught.
Zero.
In fact, increasingly there isn't even knowledge taught.
Kids know less history and less math and less grammar and less literature than they did 50 years ago.
Probably much less than they did 100 years ago.
Martin Luther King, the night before he was assassinated, gave his very famous speech about he has seen the promised land.
He has gone up the mountain and he's seen the promised land.
Most everybody hearing the speech knew exactly what he was referring to.
Moses, in his dying days, going up the mountain and seeing the promised land for the Israelites.
What percentage of high school students or college students today would have a clue what Martin Luther King was referring to?
I would say 5%, as opposed to 85%.
They don't have a clue.
I'm not sure, other than knowing he's in the Bible, I don't know if they would know who Moses was.
Tell me what Moses did.
What's he famous for?
I don't think they'd have a clue.
The first words of considered one of the greatest American novels ever written, Moby Dick.
The first sentence is, call me Ishmael.
Who's Ishmael?
Well, so they're not taught, anyway, they're not taught the Bible, so they're not taught wisdom.
Where do they get their wisdom from?
Anyway, you don't want to get it in addition, you don't want to get it from Shakespeare.
He's a dead white English male.
You can get a, you can get, I don't know about a PhD, you can get a BA in English at UCLA without ever having read Shakespeare.
How's that?
All righty, everybody.
And...
Yes, a lot of you are calling in with regard to the Bible, and I agree with you.
So I don't take your call.
I'm just going to clear a space for somebody to call in.
It is possible, of course, for a secular home to make...
Preoccupy themselves with making a good child.
But in the Western world, the non-use of Bible and religion is brand new.
And the chances are your child will then gravitate to a secular cult.
That's what we have now.
Secular cults in lieu of Judeo-Christian religions.
And you will pay the price.
That's the problem with the regular school.
Unless it's a great charter school.
I have a headmistress of such a charter school in the studio right now.
I'm honored.

The 1918 virus iterated 12 times over the summer of 1918 and emerged deadlier.
Do we know about these variants in any sort of way that alarms you, Andy, beyond the ordinary alarm that would arrive with any virus?
My job is probably to be in a state of alarm and playing through bad scenarios and trying to plan for those scenarios.
Even hoping many of them don't come to fruition.
I think these variants are not good news.
I think these variants suggest that there is enough multiplication of this virus out here that the virus is going to go through this evolutionary path more quickly than we had hoped to try to resist where it can.
Now, the good news is that the major variant, the one coming out of England, UK, the one they call B.1.1.7, the vaccine, And human immunity seems to hold up very well against that.
There are other mutations where there's been more than one mutation to the spike protein, as this happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there is some evidence that pre-existing immunity doesn't work and doesn't hold.
So these are signs that we are going to be, like with the flu, Facing something that will continue to change on us.
Most of these changes are completely harmless and completely irrelevant.
Most of these changes, and this virus has been evolving this whole time in front of our eyes, have had no real impact.
But occasionally they do.
And that just means our science needs to be better.
Where do you see this ending?
In other words, I fear that all of these ideologies are a snake swallowing its own tail.
In other words, they basically destroy, destroy.
They don't have the beginning of a clue what they would want to replace it with.
Marxism, I really can't imagine what they're suggesting.
What they're suggesting is a woke ideology of so-called anti-racism that is a profound misnomer that's really a profound race consciousness.
Our institutions and our politics are downstream of culture, and they are destroying our culture one pillar at a time.
An extremely important element of culture throughout all human history is memory.
It's knowing who you are as a people, what you're about, what your story is.
And when Jesse Jackson 30 years ago Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
Reflecting on this powerful video.
That I watched this weekend a speech given, I don't know, 20 years ago perhaps, in San Diego by the great British historian Sir Martin Gilbert, who also wrote a book, which I then immediately, of course, got, on rescuers of Jews in the Holocaust because I've wanted to study goodness more than evil.
Obvious reasons.
Part is some people are just cruel and sadistic.
They just are.
Another one is that they go along to get along.
That's the biggest reason.
Or because it's advancement.
A very small percentage of Soviet citizens were members of the Communist Party.
At most 10%.
90% of Soviet citizens were not members of the Communist Party.
And everybody wanted to be, or many people wanted to be, because of all the perks that were available.
Go along to get along is what is happening in the United States today.
When people pile on the one conservative who posts something on Facebook.
Yeah, you're a racist.
For what exactly?
So the question is, how do you produce people who have the strength to fight evil actively and stand out from the crowd?
In my studies of the rescuers, I've come up with some very...
I haven't come up with.
I've discovered some interesting answers.
So listen to this one.
There was a couple, the Oliners, O-L-I-N-E-R, they wrote a book on rescuers.
They're both sociologists.
They were at Humboldt State, California State University at Humboldt.
And I interviewed them for my publication called, it was either the Prager Perspective or Ultimate Issues.
That was the original title, Ultimate Issues.
My newsletter.
It's in print.
I should reprint it.
And I asked them, they were secular people.
They were not religious.
And I said to them, knowing everything you know about the rescuers, having devoted your professional lives to studying them, and they had been saved.
They were both secular Jews who had been saved.
I only mentioned the secular.
Because you might think, given the answer, that it was because they're religious, but it wasn't.
I said, given everything you know, imagine you're a Jew in Nazi-occupied Europe.
You could knock on the door of a lawyer, of a professor, or of a priest.
Which one would you knock on?
Thinking you had the best chance of being hidden.
And they both said the priest.
I'll bet you most of you believe that would be the answer too.
Isn't that interesting?
Even those of you who crap on religion.
I'll bet you in your heart you knew what he'd answer.
She, by the way, added, actually, I would like to modify the answer.
I would say a none, which I found interesting.
But it doesn't negate the point.
Deeply religious people.
A lot of deeply religious people morally fail.
But a disproportionate number of deeply religious people in our societies, in, well, Christian societies specifically, Are good.
Would be heroically good, like Mother Teresa.
You have to start off with the understanding that it's hard to make a good person.
That's why I've broadcast so often that people are not basically good and how important that understanding is.
Tell your kid, give your kid vitamin N.
That's a big help.
It's not my phrase.
Who is that wonderful family psychologist in Florida?
Came up with vitamin N. Did a video for us.
It's funny, I know him well, but too many names in my brain.
I'll come up with it.
Because I always like to credit a source.
Vitamin N is the word no.
Kids need vitamin N. People ask me often, so I'm having a kid.
Dennis, give me a piece of advice.
Yes, John Rosebond.
Triple G, the gentle Gentile giant, gets credit for that reminder.
So what was I saying right before I got John Rosemont in my head?
Oh yes, people ask me, so what should I tell my kid?
Give me one piece of advice.
I have a newborn.
And my one piece of advice, if I'm limited to one piece of advice, is make sure your child knows that self-control is infinitely more important than self-esteem.
That'll go a long way.
Self-control?
Okie dokie.
Let's see here.
Don in Clarksville, Tennessee.
Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
So I believe the framers knew the Bible well where...
Jeremiah 17, 6 says that the heart is evil and desperately wicked above all things.
So I don't believe that evil people can make evil people good.
I think that's God's job, and he speaks about that in Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 36, and John 3. But what the framers did do is they created a governmental system or an environment by which evil people that good would prosper and proliferate.
And evil would be marginalized and punished.
God willing.

What's with these Republicans?
I would just give a dollar and a donut to figure out what's in the mind of somebody like Senator Bill Cassidy.
Here's cut five.
This is the same guy who was last week, just the other day, on with Meet the Press and Chuck Todd.
The president wasn't there.
He wasn't allowed counsel.
They didn't amass evidence.
In five hours, they kind of judged, and boom, he's impeached.
Now, I'm told that under the Watergate, under the Clinton impeachments, there were truckloads of information.
Here, it was a video.
There was no process.
I mean, it's almost like, you know, if it happened in the Soviet Union, you would have called it a show trial.
That's the guy.
That was last week.
That's the guy who yesterday voted with the Democrats to proceed with the trial because he didn't like Bruce Castor.
And listen, Bruce Castor did a terrible job.
President Trump was said to be very angry behind the scenes.
Fox News quotes sources as saying Trump was furious and beyond angry over his defense team's showing on day one of his second impeachment trial, despite his ultimate acquittal almost certain.
The sources who...

Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here.
After watching this video, The great Sir Martin Gilbert Churchill's biographer on rescuers of Jews in the Holocaust and Nazi-occupied territory.
I just want to remind you, a lot of you, totally understandably, fear speaking up for your conservative and or Judeo-Christian principles because you will be removed from...
Friends and relatives, Facebook pages, perhaps trolled, a whole host of things.
But none of you fear being killed.
And I understand that this fear that you have, unfortunately, is very legitimate.
But I want you to understand if fear of being attacked on Facebook, which I'm not minimizing, And at work.
Prevents you from speaking up.
Can you only imagine what it took to rescue a Jew when the penalty was death?
Death.
The Nazis.
Not just death for you, death for your family.
In Poland, that was the penalty.
So, we should with humility ask, why didn't more people rescue Jews in the Holocaust?
Let's try to remember.
How spectacularly difficult it is to be that good.
It's another important lesson from this whole thing.
Another one, as I have mentioned, is to make a good world, you make good people first.
You don't make a good society without good people.
Craig in Southfield, Michigan, says elimination of corporal punishment affected our ability to raise good citizens.
So I... I was only spanked once, so I can't say I came from a home of corporal punishment.
But I have raised this on the air.
If you were corporally punishment, call me up and tell me if you're pro or against it now.
99% of callers who received corporal punishment were for it, thought it made them a better person.
Just reporting you what I have heard.
Can it go too far?
Of course it can.
What can't go too far in life?
Menachem in Staten Island, New York.
A way to make people good, to do good, is if they don't want to, is fear of judgment in an afterlife.
I'm a big fan of that.
I am.
If there's no judge about what I do, Then I'll do whatever I want.
Right?
No cups.
I'll speed.
