Time Text
Thank you.
If I have to summarize my program, I would say that that's a good summary.
Explaining what is going on.
And it is good to be with you on this Tuesday.
Very interesting Ultimate Issues Hour.
Plan for the third hour of the show.
A reminder, if you don't get to hear all three hours, or you would like to hear an hour again, or share it with somebody, for a poultry, and it is poultry, $5 or $6 a month, you can get all my shows when you want, without commercials.
That's at PragerTopia.com, Utopia with a Prager.
It's a weird story.
Was it a Miami-New York or New York-Miami flight?
But it was in one of those directions.
It was those two cities.
And a family was thrown off the plane by Frontier.
The family claims it was because they wanted an 18-month-old masked.
The Frontier claims it's because after multiple requests, the family would not wear masks.
This was the New York Times, New York Post, and many other places.
Every other passenger that I read about, it doesn't mean every other passenger, but every other passenger that I read about, Said that they were masked the entire time.
They were part of a Hasidic Jewish group.
And all of them are seen wearing masks in the videos taken on the plane by people's smartphones.
I think Frontier is an independent airline.
And according to some...
A reference was made to, ah, we really got the Jews, or something like that, amongst the people there.
Some of the crew actually clapped when they left.
It's a troubling story.
Unless Frontier is telling the complete truth, Frontier looks ugly.
I don't know what to believe because I don't know the full story.
It hasn't been reported.
But every story I have read said they were masked and did include the cheering on of their removal by others and a reference to Jews.
Normally I don't even cover.
I do cover the throwing off of families because of a two-year-old, but there, for reasons that have nothing to do with science but superstition, we are living in the age of irrationality, like there is no right answer in math, one million dollars of the Gates Foundation to subsidize that movement, that there is no one right answer in mathematics.
So we are living in the age of irrationality, wherein a two-year-old has to wear a mask.
My opinion, it's absurd that any child under 21 wears a mask.
As far as I'm concerned, with the clean air of a plane, it's absurd for anybody to have to wear a mask.
This is all feel-good stuff.
Because Dr. Fauci...
I don't know.
Well, because Dr. Fauci said so, I was going to say, because Dr. Fauci...
And then I realized I didn't have the end of a sentence.
I don't know what animates Dr. Fauci.
Of course you might say, ah, the health and welfare of the American people.
But if you say that, then obviously any doctor who differs with Dr. Fauci doesn't care about the health and welfare of the American people.
Anyone who says you still need a mask after vaccination is more interested in frightening the American people than in healing the American people.
And they have succeeded in frightening the American people.
Or many of the American people.
You know that when former President Trump spoke at CPAC this weekend, it's amazing how...
Refreshing it was to hear him.
Not because of his tone, but because of what he said.
I mean, do you realize it is now the law of the land that if you identify as the other sex, you are allowed to compete in women's sports?
That reminds me...
I should like to bring to your attention something I promised I would work on and I finally did.
I have a list of 32 questions that you should ask any relative or friend and send the list to any relative or friend to find out if that relative or friend is Is a liberal or a leftist?
It's powerful stuff.
I'm going to read to you the questions.
I actually read it last night.
I read it when it's published, because when you see your work published, it looks different, as it were.
And here, I'm going to call it up from, well, I would if my computer worked.
It renders that difficult.
That's too bad.
I'll get it up somehow.
There are 32 questions, and I worked very hard in phrasing it in such a way as to make it completely clear so that the reader does not have to ask, well, what does that mean?
What do you mean by that?
And then we can work on it.
Well, you know what the magic is, my friends?
When you can't do something on your computer, what you do is turn it off.
Reboot it.
Your Windows, if it's Windows, your Windows system wants...
To be renewed.
It is a spiritual act on the part of your computer.
When I use a Microsoft computer and I think that in some way I'm subsidizing Bill Gates, but there's no way around it because what are you going to use?
What company now defends the rational, the decent?
Let alone celebrates America.
I mean, it's so unheard of.
There's a very interesting thing going on at the New York Times.
Brett Stephens came to the New York Times about five years ago from the Wall Street Journal, where in fact he had won a Pulitzer Prize for his columns.
And he was a never-Trumper.
He devoted a great deal of time to excoriating Donald Trump.
And other than that, he is a fighter for many of the things that I fight for.
In fact, we have been on programs together, which I'm sure you can find them on YouTube.
And we debated.
He wrote a whole column about me and my support of the president, former president, and I wrote a response to him.
But it's all a good dialogue between friends.
Well, now that there is no longer a Donald Trump to excoriate, what is Brett Stephens going to do?
Well...
To his credit, he's excoriating the left.
In fact, in one instance, just two weeks ago, and I had never heard this happening at the New York Times, or for that matter, any major newspaper, his column was written and then rejected by the publisher.
He would not publish it.
It was in defense of a reporter, their chief, I think, COVID reporter, who had About, I don't know, 20 years ago, in a trip to Peru, he was talking about the N-word, not using it to call anybody, just mentioning it because it was relevant in discussing whatever he was discussing, literature or whatever, and he has been fired.
Back in a moment.
The Dennis Prager Show.
This is Hugh Hewitt for townhall.com.
Republicans would do well to stop fighting among themselves.
Henry John Temple, Lord Palmerston, was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the American Civil War.
He celebrated for saying many memorable things about politics, including his remark about an up-and-coming politician nearly 50 years his junior, the conservative Robert Cecil.
Beware of that young man, Palmerston said.
He possesses one of the secrets of success.
For instead of defending himself and his cause, he attacks the other side.
The GOP ought to ponder that observation as it considers its course as the loyal opposition.
For all the talk about splits within the respective parties, the sharpest, deepest divide remains between the two parties.
The GOP ought to attack the other side, not themselves.
While in the minority, Republicans should attack the points of difference, drawing distinctions with Democrats and not with each other.
Unless, of course, they'd like to remain in the minority.
I'm Hugh Hewitt.

Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, took...
His message, not just to the Conservatives, the thousands who were there in the Hyatt Hotel.
We'll talk about Hyatt momentarily and what the left is trying to do to them.
But also to Joe Biden, his replacement, whether it's being anti-science, anti-women, whether it's anti-borders.

I just wanted to say I enjoyed Trump's speech so much.
It's a pleasure to have him back again.
He's the best of all times.
I never saw a president who I loved as much as this man.
And he does so much work.
He loves his country.
I can't believe how much they pick on him for no reason.
Well, I mean, we get it.
We get the attacks.
And listen, they're picking on Dolly Parton.
Did you see this?
Now they're going after Dolly Parton because she's not woke enough.
They say Vox wrote an article talking about, now get this, the dark side of Dolly Parton.
Do you think Dolly Parton has a dark side?
According to The Federalist, this online site Vox charged legendary sweetheart country star Dolly Parton Yes, indeed, y'all.
I'm Dennis Prager.
I want to read to you from my list.
But I was telling you about Bret Stephens.
So Bret Stephens wrote this piece.
And if you want some glimmer of hope for America with the left's attempt to destroy it, and if you deny that, then you are...
In the category of denial that I can't penetrate, if you show somebody something every single day and then the person says, gee, I didn't see that, you're thinking of the Groucho Marx scene where his wife enters his bedroom, sees him with another woman.
He jumps out of bed, starts getting dressed, she starts yelling at him, and he goes, nothing happened.
Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?
You have lying eyes.
If you deny that the left wishes to take the society down, six Dr. Seuss books will not be published.
Six?
Do you understand?
This has nothing to do with white supremacy, Dr. Seuss and white supremacy.
It's an insult to the intelligence to even react.
What it is, it is the desire, A, to be relevant.
These professors are irrelevant to society.
A professor of gender studies is like the fat on...
A piece of meat that you just discard.
It's irrelevant.
They know they're irrelevant, so they need to be relevant.
It's not only hatred of America that animates a lot of professors.
It is a deep desire to be relevant.
We don't give a damn about their thoughts, because almost only moronic ideas come from the university.
And you know why?
Because very often, very unoriginal minds get PhDs.
And you know why else?
Because a bad idea at the university has no consequences.
A bad idea in a company has bad consequences.
You can't come up with a stupid idea if you run a restaurant.
You can't come up with a stupid idea if you run a company.
Because that is the end of the profit, and you are gone.
Companies must deal with reality, especially small companies.
The university does not have to deal with reality.
They can live in the make-believe.
They get tenure for saying stupid things.
Dr. Seuss is white supremacist.
I mean, to be honest, Sean suspected this for quite some time now.
Periodically, I can't believe what I read in Dr. Seuss.
All right, it's five minutes late, but nevertheless, everybody remembers what I was referring to.
So that'll be fine.
I thought you were going to put on some animated Dr. Seuss.
Of course, this might get picked up by the left.
Prager plays Seuss.
White supremacist at it again.
So, why do they do this?
They do this, the number one reason is to be important.
The desire of the human being to be important is very, very deep.
Ernest Becker, whose book I'm reading now, that won the 1974 Pulitzer Prize, The Denial of Death.
One aspect of the human denial of death is the craving for importance.
Because on some primal level...
It not only makes your life important, which makes you feel good, but it bestows upon you, in some fantasy that is deep in the psyche, immortality.
So if you are a professor, nobody reads your books.
Most people think you're a fool.
But you now have discovered that Dr. Seuss is white supremacy.
And the publisher, needless to say, caved in.
It is truly in the realm of NTS. Know what NTS stands for?
I'm asking the Triple G here.
Now I forgot it.
Now I got it again.
Needless to say, it's in the realm of NTS that the publisher caved in.
The irony of the lyrics of the National Anthem, the land of the free and the home of the brave, in the light of all of the draconian laws in the light of all of the draconian laws now.
Oh.
First week or day in office, President Biden signs a law that males identifying as females must, must be allowed to compete against females?
Isn't the whole point of having female and male sports that males have physical advantages?
Why does a male stop having physical advantages if he identifies as a female?
No one is saying you can't identify as a female.
But why are you saying we have to then corrupt women's sports because of your self-identity?
1-8 Prager 776. Thou art listening to the Dennis Prager Show.
Oh.
Well, I'm going to follow that story on Frontier Airlines.
I mean, I tell you, this is so not the America that I have adored.
The draconian irrational laws regarding mask wearing on airplanes and the number of people Who buy into it.
It's very disturbing.
Somebody told me they were sitting next to somebody who started screaming at them four times.
You're going to kill me.
Because they ate with...
They didn't put their mask on between bites.
That's right.
You're going to kill me.
Why was this person flying?

Former President Trump cut number seven at CPAC. And I want you to know that I'm going to continue to fight right by your side.
We will do what we've done right from the beginning, which is to win.
We're not starting new parties.
You know, they kept saying, he's going to start a brand new party.
We have the Republican Party.
It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before.
I am not starting a new party.
That was fake news.
Fake news.
Now, wouldn't that be brilliant?
Let's start a new party and let's divide our vote so that you can never win.
No, we're not interested in that.
Now, we have tremendous...
Mr. McLaughlin just gave me numbers that nobody's ever heard of before.
More popular than anybody.
That's all of us.
That's all of us.
Those are great numbers, and I want to thank you very much.
Those are incredible numbers.
I came here and he was giving me 95%, 97%, 92%.
I said they're great, and I want to thank everybody in this room and everybody all throughout the country, throughout the world, if you want to really know the truth.
That was a reassuring message to the party that he is not going to split the party Teddy Roosevelt style in 1912 when TR split the Republican Party, ran as the bull moose candidate against Taft and Wilson, and Wilson won.
So the president is not starting, former president is not starting a new party.
He also, however, is not going to exit politics.

Andrew Breitbart spent a lot of time on Twitter and on his computer.
Before Twitter was a big platform.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, he all of a sudden saw a very unusual tweet from Anthony Weiner.
Anthony Weiner decided to tweet out a very personal picture of himself.
Andrew Breitbart screenshot it and archived it.
Weiner denied it at first, resulted in Anthony Weiner.
Getting exposed for his pattern of bad behavior.
Andrew Breitbart passed away not too long after that, but the story that Andrew Breitbart started to break turned into a full-fledged investigation into Anthony Weiner's most personal dealings.
Fast forward to the fall.
Of 2016. October of 2016. All of a sudden there was a certain announcement from James Comey.
You might remember.
That got James Comey in a lot of trouble when James Comey said that there was a new server that was found and there are questions around Hillary Clinton's emails.
Now, what emails were they?
They were emails from Huma Abedin.
Who is Khouma Abedin, the former wife and partner of Anthony Weiner?
How did the FBI get their hands on them?
Because of the shenanigans and criminal behavior of Anthony Weiner.

Got a lot of interesting calls and, hmm.
We're supposed to have a PragerForce member on now.
March and August are fundraising months for PragerU.
We are the largest non-left video site on Earth.
And we have viewers from well over 100 countries.
My fireside chat, which goes up each week, As viewers in about a hundred countries, I receive questions from mostly young people.
Help us at PragerU.com, 833-PRAGER-U. Okay, we have a thing called PragerForce.
13,000 members.
They're in their late teens, early 20s from all over the world.
Meeting them on the radio is one of the highlights of March and August.
Cody Hug.
Hi, Dennis Prager here.
Welcome to my show.
Hey, thanks Dennis for having me on.
Where do you live?
I live in San Diego, California.
Very nice.
And how long are you a Prager Force member?
I've been Prager 4 for about a year now, but I've been a PragerU listener, and I guess you can call a student, or in some cases a Talmudim, a disciple, for many, many years.
How did you discover it?
Actually, I had a couple of friends from school who...
Referred me to your videos.
I never knew that they existed.
What school was that?
That was at Grossmont High School here in San Diego.
What did you do after graduating high school?
I went straight into the workforce instead of going in university.
And for eight years, I worked in entertainment and customer service.
By the way, when we...
This is a note from my audience.
When we hire, we don't care if a person went to college or not.
In many cases, our assumption is that they think more clearly if they did not go to college.
I mean, you would seem to fall into that category.
You speak eloquently, no uhs and ums, you have confidence, your grammar is proper.
Why didn't you go to college?
To be honest, I felt like I could learn more if I went straight into the workforce, because there's many things that college can't teach you, and that is experienced, street smarts.
They can't really teach you trial and error.
They can teach you the theory behind it and the principles behind it, but you never really truly learn how to...
Communicate with people from around the world, from your own community, you know, diffusion tactics with customer service issues and so on and so forth.
Those things you have to learn in person.
So I believe that going straight into the workforce gave me a great benefit, a great skill to learn full on, just go right into the fire.
Did you grow up in San Diego?
I did, yep.
I grew up in San Diego.
Mostly lived in San Diego, then lived in Arizona, Phoenix for a couple years when I was a child.
But then I just stayed here in San Diego.
Currently, are you living alone with someone, with your parents?
Which one?
Well, if you count two adopted cats as people, then yes.
Other than that, I'm alone.
So you moved out of your parents' house?
That is correct.
And you're paying your own rent?
I'm paying my own stuff.
And you have no college student debt?
Absolutely zero.
Allow me to smile and not speak for a moment.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is a man gainfully employed living on his own independently paying his own way in life 21 years old and has no student loan debt.
Now tell me, give me one reason, ladies and gentlemen, this man should have gone to college.
This is...
Cody, I'll be right back with you.
I got to take a break.
I'm shaking my head.
Unless you study STEM, science, technology, engineering, math, and now there are no right answers in math in many places, so maybe we should do STEM if you're studying STEM. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to recommend to you Relief Factor.
I don't know what percentage of Americans has knee pain, Elbow pain, other joint pain, muscle pain.
But it is a high percentage.
If it's not nerve and it's muscular or joint, nerve renew.
That's another great product for a separate issue.
Relief factor is like a miracle.
And it is so good they are honest with you.
It will work within three weeks.
If it doesn't, you've wasted $19.99 for the three-week quick start.
It's all at relieffactor.com.
Nine years ago, I remember popping open my BlackBerry.
Okay.
And I was subscribed to the FoxNews.com breaking news alerts.
It was March 1st, 2012. I was a senior in high school nine years ago.
And...
I remember getting this email alert, and it says, Andrew Breitbart, dead.
And I couldn't really even process what that meant.
I was a fan of Andrew Breitbart's.
I'd never met him.
And six weeks later, Joel Pollack from Breitbart.com actually gave me an opportunity to publish my first ever op-ed.
Which then led to my first ever television appearance and from there, Turning Point USA. And so Andrew's legacy is larger than life.
I never knew him, never got to meet him, but I feel like I know him based on the amount of footage, the amount of literature, the amount of commentary that I have poured over throughout the years.
Andrew was larger than life.
He was magnanimous.
He was our most effective weapon against the left.
And I will make the argument to you right here, right now, that Andrew Breitbart got Donald Trump elected while not living.
I'm confused.
At first I was with you until you said it takes a lot of energy to make a Bitcoin.
I thought a Bitcoin was a virtual currency, not physical.
It is physical.
You're right.
I mean, it's not like a piece of paper.
It's totally digital.
It's e-cash, if you will.
And it can be put into accounts.
But...
It does take a lot of work and effort for miners.
That's what we call them, those who create Bitcoin.
It takes a lot of effort because they get a computer code and they have to reduce it.
It takes a lot of work and effort and a lot of energy, electricity.
People who mine Bitcoin go all around the world to find the cheapest source of energy where electric bills are relatively low.
that it keeps Bitcoin from being like the dollar, where you can expand the money supply dramatically by the Federal Reserve.
Thank you.
It's a fundraising month.
We're a big hope in a country that is embattled.
Three types of good people.
Fighters, those who help the fighters, those who do nothing.
Helping the fighters is just as good as fighting.
So please help the country.
By donating to PragerU, prageru.com, 833-PRAGERU. We have a PragerForce member, one a day generally in the fundraising months.
I have not generally met these people, and everyone has profoundly impressed me for their maturity, which is a word that is never used any longer.
Be mature is...
It's not only not an admonition, it would be some young person would not know what the adult was even talking about.
So anyway, I want to just re-emphasize, Cody Hugg, as I have learned, is 21, lives on his own, self-employed, making a living, has no student debt.
Sounds like an adult, doesn't he?
And not burdened with the student debt.
Which the Democrats would like to burden the rest of the country with, so as to penalize the people who are responsible and paid off their student debt.
Why anybody should go into debt to learn that men give birth is one of the great riddles of American and world history.
What were you raised, both religiously and politically?
Well, I was in a very mixed family.
So I'll start politically, because that's the easiest.
It was a straight line down.
My mother's side, very conservative.
They wouldn't call themselves Republicans, but they would be more kind of centrist.
Right there on the right, but they're more centrist.
And my father's side, my father himself is a Republican.
But his family, mostly his sisters, they are very much Democrat.
They're very, very liberal.
So you can imagine Thanksgiving table is going to be already interesting.
But religiously, it's even more messy.
So on my dad's side, we have mostly people from the LDS faith, the Latter-day Saints or Mormons.
He is a Wesleyan Christian himself.
Kind of is a Christian, but not really.
And so I was kind of raised in this questioning environment.
When I grew up, when I got into high school, actually when I graduated, and then started going into the workforce, I decided to do a DNA test, just for fun.
Ancestry.com and 23andMe a little bit later on.
And I found out that I am half Jewish.
I never knew this.
Half?
Literally half?
Literally half.
Well, actually, 48%.
But I rounded up.
Yeah, I agree.
Go on.
So I never knew that I was Jewish.
And my parents actually never knew that either one of them was Jewish.
And I didn't know if it was maternal or paternal.
So I bought DNA tests for both my father and my mother.
And my mother is the one that came back Jewish.
And she didn't know that she is fully Jewish.
She didn't know.
She had no idea.
How was she raised?
She was raised in a non-religious environment.
What was her maiden name?
Her maiden name was Danielle Suzanne.
It was what?
Danielle Suzanne.
Danielle Suzanne Hug.
Right, but no, Hug is her married name.
No, that's her actual name.
Wait, so you have the last name of your mother?
I do, yes.
Okay, I'm sure that's a story unto itself.
Like I said, it's a very, very unique family setting.
So it would appear.
And this is always fascinating.
So, a couple of more questions.
I could talk to you for hours, obviously.
First, my favorite question of all, because believe it or not, I don't believe I have ever gotten the same answer twice.
What is your favorite PragerU video?
My favorite one, and this is the one that really solidified my conservative ideas, and what it really means to be a conservative.
And that is a video known as, I am the Lord your God, that you did.
Oh, that I did.
So the first of the Ten Commandments.
Wow.
Yes.
That's a new answer.
See, there you go.
The record is being upheld.
And why did that strike you?
Well, it was because you mentioned how it is talking about freedom.
Obviously, the whole video is talking about, of course, that God is our God, that He took us out of Mitzrayim, out of Egypt, and to be our Lord, and He took us out of slavery, as you talked about in the video, because God is very anti-slavery, as you mentioned, and He is very much for freedom.
And the conservative ideals, especially in the United States, the conservative ideals are all about freedom, individual freedom, while the opposite side is the exact difference.
And so that really solidified where I am politically.
Wow, very touched.
I have not asked this of a Prager Force member, oddly enough, because it would seem to be a relevant question.
Are you worried about America?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Very worried.
We're heading down a path of self-destruction right now.
We are at a very big battle.
Now, although I am worried, because of the Judaism that I've accepted ever since I found out I was Jewish, I've converted, or not necessarily converted because I'm born to another, but I reintroduced myself into Judaism.
I have a newfound optimism of what we call in Judaism, tikkun olam, to repair the world.
And I do believe that Prager, you, Prager Force, and entities like it have the ability, the power to change the country.
What do you think, folks?
What do you think?
Yes, with a T. So far, almost all of this new spending has been financed out of the central bank's creation of new monetary base.
In other words, we printed the money we spent.
Inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
The Fed is giving us too much money.
And the low-growth Biden economy will provide too few goods.
And Americans are right to be concerned.

you you This might be the most important thing, because a lot of people wonder, what is Trumpism?
And no one is allowed to define Trumpism more than Donald Trump.
They have an equal right to their own definition, but when Donald Trump tells you what Trumpism is, you ought to write it down.
Cut number 11. It means low taxes and eliminating job-killing regulations, Trumpism.
It means strong borders.
But people coming into our country based on a system of merit, so they come in and they can help us as opposed to coming here and not being good for us, including criminals, of which there are many.
It means no riots in the streets.
It means law enforcement.
It means very strong protection for the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms.
It means support for the forgotten men and women who have been taken advantage of for so many years, and they were doing great.
They were doing great before that horrible thing from China came in and hit us, and now they're starting to do really well again.
It was a very fine speech by President Trump, former President Trump.
Bottom line, the news takeaway.
Trump won't split the Republican Party.
He may run.
He certainly isn't going to go away, and he certainly is not going to lead a reclusive expo.
but he's going to be like former President Obama.
Gives you an idea.
Yeah.
Hi, everybody.
I'm going to go to your calls, but I just want to say, Cody, you're an impressive young man.
Are you hoping to get married?
I'm hoping so.
I'm hoping so.
You have a girlfriend?

I got some really good calls here.
There's a PhD who objects to my broad criticism of PhDs.
Stay on.
Because I want to give you the time to make the case that PhDs...
Here's a great question for this caller, for, let's see, Mike in Chicago.
If there were no PhDs in the country, I'm not talking about MDs, there were no PhDs versus what we have now, would the country be worse off, the same, or better?
All right, let's see here.
We've got a caller from Scotland.
It's the first time that we have callers from Scotland and Vandella, Missouri at the same time.
Sean and I bet on calls.
You won today.
What part of Scotland?
Let's find out.
What part of Scotland?
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm Colin from Edinburgh.
I spent a lovely week there with my wife a couple of years ago.
How beautiful.
Edinburgh, lovely city.
Correct.
So, yeah, I've been really enjoying your show, Dennis.
I'm somewhat new to the scene.
I saw your PragerU stuff online.
I got involved on it.
You come on at the end of my workday, so I've been watching at the end of work.
It's been pretty good.
I saw today what's going on with all this Dr. Seuss stuff, canceling the kids' books, and I just think it's wild, but it's great that there's people like you speaking out about issues affecting children.
Thank you.
From what I see here, you were curious why it's even worse to cancel culture in America than in the UK, is that correct?
Is that what you were calling it about?
Yeah, I mean...
That's part of it, yeah.
I mean, my particular question, I was wondering if you felt a particular kinship with children based on the fact that you both poo your pants.
So we'll be back in a moment, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Dennis Prager.

We are so divided in this country that those of us who can reach across the aisle and agree on certain things really, really need to do it right now.
And it really blessed me to hear you talk about our civil liberties and some of the things that, to me, seem like common sense.
There aren't a lot of people on the political left, or I'm not sure where you are exactly, maybe these categories don't even work anymore, who are talking about it.
While I am on the left, if you're unfamiliar with me, everybody, I wrote a book in 2008 about the risk to America of losing all of our freedoms.
The descent into fascism.
And the reason I've been very kind of outspoken and trying to sound a warning now in a very trans-partisan way, as you kindly mentioned, Eric, is that we're at step 10. You know, I kind of spelled out in that book that there are 10 steps to fascism that...
Tyrants on the left or on the right always take.
And over the years, people have said, well, when are we at step 10?
And we haven't been, but now we are.
And so now is not the time to let ourselves be divided by all the things that we can debate about, you know, forever and that should be debated and should be argued over.
And, you know, there should be battles in the right forums like Congress around the things we disagree on.
But we have to unite as a nation.
To save our Constitution, save our First Amendment freedoms, which are being crushed by this, you know, medical pandemic, which is real, but has been exploited by very cynical people.
There's a kind of systematic assault on our liberties going on right now using the pandemic as a pretext.

Obama told Bruce Springsteen that he broke a classmate's nose for calling him a racial slur.
Quote, listen, when I was in school I had a friend.
We played basketball together.
And at one time he got into a fight and he called me a...
C, dash, dash, dash.
What word would that be?
I'm assuming that's coon.
And he said, first of all, ain't no coons in Hawaii, right?
It's one of those things where he might not even know what a coon was.
He knew was, I can hurt you by saying this.
And I remember I popped him in the face and broke his nose.
And we were in the locker room.
And by the way, Springsteen said, well done.
I explained to him, I said, don't you ever call me something like that.
Now, it's just us talking here, okay?
Obama has never said this before.
I read his autobiography.
In his autobiography, he talked about doing cocaine.
How do you not mention you broke somebody's nose who called you a coon?
No mention of that in this autobiography.
Very thick book.
How do you leave that out?

We have the Republican Party.
It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before.
I am not starting a new party.

No.
Wouldn't that be brilliant?
Let's start a new party and let's divide our vote so that you can never win.
No, we're not interested in that.

I said they're great and I want to thank everybody in this room and everybody all throughout the country, throughout the world if you want to really know the truth.
That was a reassuring message to the party that he is not going to split the party Teddy Roosevelt style in 1912 when TR split the Republican Party ran as the bull moose candidate against Taft and Wilson and Wilson won.

Hello my friends and welcome to the Dennis Prager show...
I have a list of 32 questions that, in very unemotional wording, delineates the differences between liberals and leftists.
You can share it with members of your family.
It would be a great, great discussion point.
Let me give you some of the examples.
I read the piece, my own piece, if you will, again, when it got posted on the Internet.
I'm looking at the town hall copy.
And it's good.
I'm very happy with this.
Here's some questions about race.
Many universities now have all-black dormitories, and some have all-black graduation exercises.
Do you support these developments?
Giving this is, you're not attacking anybody, you're clarifying.
Remember, I prefer clarity to agreement.
This is a perfect example.
So if your friend or relative supports all black dormitories and all black graduations, that tells you a lot.
It is also a very good way of showing how liberals have accepted.
Illiberal ideas like that.
Number two, the University of California has declared this statement racist.
There is only one race, the human race.
Do you agree with the University of California, or do you agree with the statement?
Three, is the goal of being colorblind, doing one's best to ignore a person's color, And concentrating only on the person's character and personality, a noble goal or a racist one?
Four, do you believe that the color of a person's skin tells you anything of importance about that person?
Five, do you agree that all white Americans are racist?
Six, if your answer is yes, would you tell the millions of blacks in Africa and the Caribbean who wish to emigrate to America that they would be making a poor decision?
If not, why not?
There's a question I suspect few on the left have had to answer.
Seven, is it possible for a black person to be a racist?
Eight, is it racist to claim that Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig von Beethoven, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the greatest music ever composed?
Is it racist to claim that?
Nine, is the national anthem racist?
Ten, if your answer is yes, yes, what would you like to put in its place?
Finally, on race number 11, the English department at the University of Pennsylvania removed its painting of William Shakespeare because he was a white European male.
Do you agree with that decision?
These are powerful questions.
I will read more, but I want to go to some of your calls.
Mike in Chicago, I promised you.
Thank you for holding on.
Hello.
Hello, Dennis.
How are you?
Okay, thank you.
Let me start by saying that I am a fan of yours, and I'm feeling a little bit crestfallen by my appreciation for you and the statement you made about PhD.
I happened to tick off two of the boxes from your list of fighter and Those who help fighters.
I'm a career police officer and also a therapist who serves the first responder community along with my wife who's also a therapist.
So to hear you say that PHEs are I guess unoriginal thinkers is the way you put it is a little bit disappointing because I think that A properly earned PhD is just that, it's original thought, an original exploration of new ideas.
Okay, alright, so since there was a pause, I was obviously going to let you continue, and obviously I'm keeping you on to respond.
I went to graduate school.
I did not earn a degree there.
I left after two years to write my first book.
But in any event, so I have some acquaintance with graduate school.
When one writes a doctoral dissertation, it is original research, but not necessarily original thought.
And by the way, I don't condemn people for not having original thought.
I was merely stating that I don't assume that a PhD in sociology, anthropology, women's studies, black studies...
Anything that has studies in it, essentially, or English now, I don't assume that these are thinkers.
I assume that they are indoctrinators who have been indoctrinated.
And my suspicion is that you make the same assumption.
I do agree with you on so much stuff, Dennis, and that's why I was compelled to call.
Because I do agree with you that my experience of universities, and I have...
More than one advanced degree has been definitely slanted in the direction of indoctrination in a lot of ways.
But I think that's the value of a true original thinker and that a true thinker is to be able to hold their own in those environments.
And it's increasingly difficult.
I'm not going to disagree with you.
It's increasingly difficult.
I don't even know where we differ.
I agree with every word you said and you agreed with every word I said.
It probably does appear that way.
I was just taken aback by the fact that...
You were taken aback because I generalized.
The generalization...
I took an ego hit, Dennis.
You gave me an ego hit.
You know, though...
If I don't say it every time, I say it nearly every time.
There are always exceptions.
It is obvious you're an exception.
But you know you're an exception.
I appreciate that endorsement.
No, right, right, right.
But I didn't say it to make you feel good.
I said it because it's true.
And the very fact that you are so exceptional proves my point.
Again, I appreciate that.
I know you don't say it to praise me.
I just appreciate it.
For coming from a person like you, that's high-level endorsement.
Well, you've earned it.
And thank you for the call.
When I was a student, my general impression of the ones who went for PhDs in the liberal arts, I'm not talking about STEM, science, technology, engineering, math, was that it was sort of a safe haven.
They didn't want to leave school.
They loved school.
That was it.
There are parents who tell me that their kid is going for another graduate degree.
They're now 28. So I say, in other words, your kid has been at school since the age of 4. 4 to 28, they haven't left school.
Kindergarten is an accurate description of college.
The only difference between college and kindergarten is the age of the kinder.
Okay, y'all.
Let's see here.
Rich in Houston, Texas.
Hello.
Yes, Bill.
How are you today?
I'm well.
Oh, that's great.
That's good.
Yeah, if I told your call screener, I just, you know, I'm just, I'm so personally offended by this Dr. Seuss thing, considering I just, I can't imagine an author had more effect on my childhood.
But aside from that, do you think your face is trying to get away from your awful words by sinking down to the floor?
Whoa.
All right.
Well, we'll deal with the Dr. Seuss thing.
It's going to be a very interesting thing to figure out.
What it is, there are six books now that the publisher will not even publish.
So they will be out of print.
I heard on the morning show that precedes me in Los Angeles, I heard that one Dr. Seuss book original edition is now on eBay for $600-something.
In a day, it has gone from $14.
And, you know, there's gold, there's silver, there's stocks, and there's Dr. Seuss' original editions.
They're bored, my friends.
They're bored.
That's the genesis of it all.
This is Jerry Boyer of Town Hall Finance for townhall.com.
Investors, the business press, and just ordinary citizens concerned about their 401k accounts are beginning to get worried about inflation.
For most of my career, I've been talking conservative leaders down from dire predictions of imminent inflation.
Now, I think that inflation is a very real short and midterm risk.
Last year, the Trump administration borrowed 3.3 trillion.
Yes, with a T. To fund COVID relief and various stimuli.
At the end of the year, almost another trillion was agreed to.
And now the new president is proposing an additional almost two trillion.
So far, almost all of this new spending has been financed out of the central bank's creation of new monetary base.
In other words, we printed the money we spent.
Inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
The Fed is giving us too much money.
And the low-growth Biden economy will provide too few goods.
And Americans are right to be concerned.

This might be the most important thing, because a lot of people wonder, what is Trumpism?
And no one is allowed to define Trumpism more than Donald Trump.
They have an equal right to their own definition, but when Donald Trump tells you what Trumpism is, you ought to write it down.
Cut number 11. It means low taxes and eliminating job-killing regulations, Trumpism.
It means strong borders.
But people coming into our country based on a system of merit so they come in and they can help us as opposed to coming here and not being good for us, including criminals, of which there are many.
It means no riots in the streets.
It means law enforcement.
It means very strong protection for the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms.
It means support for the forgotten men and women who have been taken advantage of for so many years, and they were doing great.
They were doing great before that horrible thing from China came in and hit us, and now they're starting to do really well again.
It was a very fine speech by President Trump, former President Trump.
Bottom line, the news takeaway.
Trump won't split the Republican Party.
He may run.
He certainly isn't going to go away, and he certainly is not going to lead a reclusive expo.
He's going to be like former President Obama in his former presidency, deeply involved in politics from the get-go.

Take more of your calls in a moment.
I want to read to you more questions.
That's up at townhall.com, up at my website.
It'll be on Daily Wire, American Greatness, and elsewhere in the course of the week.
Questions you should ask friends and relatives.
They're not provocative.
They're intellectually provocative.
They're not emotionally provocative.
They're written very soberly, and it is an attempt to achieve clarity.
What is it that you believe, and are you a liberal or a leftist?
32 questions.
People always ask, well, what's the difference between a liberal and a leftist?
Well, I've listed 32 now.
Number 12, we're in the America section.
Do you agree with the New York Times 1619 project that America was not founded in 1776, but in 1619 with the first arrival of black slaves in North America?
And that the Revolutionary War was fought in order to preserve slavery.
13. Should statues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln be taken down?
14. Has the United States overall made the world a better place?
I'd love to know how your friend would react.
Or your brother-in-law.
Or your kid.
I mean, that's a great dividing line.
Liberals have always believed in America, and leftists have always loathed it.
Fifteen.
Would America be a better, worse, or the same as now if all Americans dropped their religion and became secular?
That's a real good question to ask at a family gathering.
At all alienating?
But it would be an interesting thing.
It's an interesting thing for you to answer that question.
If you're secular, if you're a secular conservative, what do you think?
Would America be better, worse, or the same if all Americans dropped their religion and became secular?
16. Has capitalism been a net plus for America and the world?
This is a very straightforward question.
17. Everyone would like to improve America.
Some would like to, in their words, fundamentally transform America.
Would you?
Again, a very clarifying question.
18. Could a good person have voted for Donald Trump in 2020?
I think leftists believe that...
Only bad people voted for Donald Trump.
There was a columnist, columns in the New York Times, that if you vote for Donald Trump, you're a supporter of white supremacy.
19. Do you believe that CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the rest of the mainstream media are biased toward the left or try to present the news as accurately as possible?
Nice test there.
20. Should America have full control over its borders to prevent illegal immigration?
God, I'd love to hear a discussion on that.
See, you're not taking a position.
You're not offending anybody.
These are not buzzwords.
These are actual, real positions that the left holds.
21. There are between 11 and 30 million people in America who entered the country illegally.
Should they all be put on a path to citizenship?
There you go.
That's what President Biden wishes to do.
22. Should those who enter America illegally be called undocumented immigrants or illegal immigrants?
Good one.
Dennis, 23, do you believe police departments should be defunded or at the very least have their budgets severely cut?
24, should the government provide vouchers to enable parents to choose what school their child attends?
And 26, go to other sections after that, which school do you believe Is more likely to be attacked by a gunman?
One that has a sign in front that reads, gun-free zone?
Or one that reads, this school has armed personnel?
That question is not only a detector of whether one is liberal or left.
It is a detector.
With regard to whether one has common sense or not.
The answer is so obvious that that is a giveaway as to the ability of the person receiving your questions to fool themselves.
All righty, everybody.

Hi, thank you.
So, I heard you say something earlier about Frontier Airlines, and I wanted to share my experience, because I just recently flew with Frontier about a week ago to Orlando.
Anyway, you know, of course, it's all masks.
You have to wear a mask the entire duration of the flight.
They wouldn't serve drinks or snacks or anything.
You had to bring your own.
And actually, the pilot, while we were boarding, he was going over the mask mandate, and he said, if you do not wear a mask, then you will be charged.
You know, you can face a $30,000 fine, boot it off the plane in federal jail time.
And he said, if you had a problem with that, there's the door.
Wow.
Well, I hope you all heard the Frontier Airlines story.

We are so divided in this country that those of us who can reach across the aisle and agree on certain things really, really need to do it right now.
And it really blessed me to hear you talk.
So the story with Frontier Airlines is now widely covered.
18-month-old, the parents did not put a mask on an 18-month-old.
They claimed that that's why they were kicked off the plane.
And the plane was canceled, actually, which is astonishing.
And it looked...
From what I saw in the video, and I always say this because you don't see the whole thing on a video, and I don't jump to conclusions, I can only tell you this.
There are two entirely, 100% different stories.
Frontier says the family was kicked off because after repeated requests that they put on masks, they didn't.
They were part of a Hasidic Jewish group, all of whom were wearing masks.
So it's a little hard to believe that one couple in the group, after being asked repeatedly, wouldn't put on masks.
It's hard to believe anybody being asked repeatedly, because you know you could get thrown off the plane, be fined, be publicly humiliated.
I mean, I'm flying tomorrow from L.A. to Minnesota to give a talk in Wisconsin.
If they come over and say, please put your mask over your nose, I wear the mask.
I cheat.
I admit it.
But when they ask me, I do it.
I understand they have a job to do.
Some of them are probably actually afraid themselves for absolutely no good reason.
I guess you can't get COVID while people eat.
I mean, the absurdity of it is so obvious.
I feel silly even noting it.
But there are airlines and there are airlines.
And in this case, it's hard to believe that Frontier is telling the truth.
Repeatedly request the family when all the families of that group were wearing masks.
And they apparently made some derogatory comment about Jews.
And now it's a big controversy.
Frontier Airlines, this is just out USA Today.
Frontier Airlines accused of anti-Semitism after canceling flight over mass controversy.
Jewish groups accused Frontier Airlines of anti-Semitism after the carrier canceled the Sunday flight from Miami to New York over a clash with a group of Hasidic Jewish travelers related to mass compliance.
The Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council accused the Frontier cabin crew of bigoted behavior.
The airline and the passengers were deplained because of a continued refusal, the airline said, I'm sorry, the airline said, continued refusal to comply with the federal mask mandate.
The OJPAC, the Jewish group, Which shared video of the incident on Twitter said the dispute arose because crew members ordered a Hasidic Jewish couple to deplane because an 18-month-old child didn't have a mask.
Children under two are exempt from the federal transportation mask mandate.
It is an astonishing thing that children over two have to wear masks.
The group accused the crew of applauding.
Exchanging high fives and congratulating one another as the passengers left the plane.
The Jewish group said an Orthodox Jewish person defended the couple and their extended family, who were masked, began leaving the plane at which point, quote, at which point Frontier ordered everyone off the plane.
This is a...
An example of a deterioration in our country.
If the accusations against Frontier are accurate, I would ask you all to read my two columns from a month ago.
One week it was titled, The Good German, and the next week it was titled, The Good American.
When I watch the ability of people to relish enforcing irrational laws over citizens, I realize how easy it is to get a population to do anything the media wants.
Because the media control people's minds.
When I see people walking outdoors, young people walking outdoors with masks on, When I see people take Dr. Fauci seriously, that after you're vaccinated, you should still wear a mask, I wonder if there's anything he could say that would have people say, huh?
I'm not listening to that.
On rare occasions, I have asked a sponsor to be a sponsor.
One of those occasions is nerve renew.
I was glad that they said yes.
My story now should be known to you.
I have what we call new rumors.
This is pins and needles, if you will, in my feet for many, many decades.
And it's just congenital.
One thing that helped were inserts lifting the bone from the nerve.
And then I read about Nerve Renew on the internet.
I tried it out.
Kept trying.
After nine months to a year, I threw away the inserts.

We are so divided in this country that those of us who can reach across the aisle and agree on certain things really, really need to do it right now.
And it really blessed me to hear you talk about our civil liberties and some of the things that, to me, seem like common sense.
There aren't a lot of people on the political left, or I'm not sure where you are exactly, maybe these categories don't even work anymore, who are talking about it.
While I am on the left, if you're unfamiliar with me, everybody, I wrote a book in 2008 about the risk to America of losing all of our freedoms and the descent into fascism.
And the reason I've been very kind of outspoken and trying to sound a warning now.
Thank you.
Thank you.
32. So I did race, I did America, and now men and women and speech.
Men and women.
26. Should it be legal for a teenage girl to have her breasts surgically removed because she identifies as a male?
Or should there be a minimum age?
Number 27. 28. Should biological males who identify as females be allowed to compete against biological females in sports?
29. Is the statement, men give birth, science-based?
30. Do you agree with the practice of inviting a drag queen into public libraries and elementary school classrooms to conduct a, quote, drag queen story hour?
Speech number 31. Do you believe that free speech allows for hate speech?
Or should hate speech be banned?
That is so important, arguably the most important one of the 32. Do you believe that free speech allows for hate speech?
Or should hate speech be banned?
Which leads to the last one, 32. If you believe hate speech should be banned, Who do you believe should determine what is hate speech?
There's the list.
It's really, really good.
Send it to your college kid.
Be fascinating to get their responses.
The free speech thing clarifies the whole issue in two questions.
Of course free speech allows hate speech.
That's the whole point.
It's the point to allow speech you agree with.
And if you want to ban it, who determines what's hate speech?
Who?
Why isn't it so funny?
Hate speech is objective.
Male and female, subjective.
Math answers, subjective.
But hate speech, that's objectively true.
This is what your kids are learning, my friends.
And Spring Hill, Kansas, and Walter.
Hello, Walter.
Hello, Dennis.
How are you?
I'm well, thank you.
I can sit and talk to you for hours on these kind of topics.
As I told you, your screen caller, your call screener, there we go.
I am a conservative black man or African-American, whatever you want the proper term is now.
I don't think, I mean, this council culture and talking about racism, anytime you say something that somebody doesn't like, a leftist doesn't like, you're a racist.
And it just waters down the fact when there really is racism.
And the thing that really upsets me is stuff like reparations.
Like the black community, I want reparations.
What about the reparations for the men and women who died in the Civil War fighting for the very blacks?
Freedom.
And that's what so...
And I have to admit, there was a time when I was...
Still, you know, uninformed.
My grandparents, they voted Democrat.
And, you know, my grandmother voted Democrat.
And I voted for Bill Clinton the first term.
Then something said, why don't you do your research?
And so I did that.
And I found that the Democrat Party was a sponsor of where the KKK derived from.
The Democrat Party didn't even want to give blacks the right to vote.
And I'm thinking to myself, well, why the hell are I voting Democrat?
Well, you raise a lot of important questions.
I mean, theoretically, the Democratic Party could have become the party that really helps blacks.
I would say that the Democratic Party is the party that really hurts blacks.
That's the irony.
They run all the cities in which black crime...
Mostly against blacks is so high.
They run it.
And blacks keep voting for the people who use them.
Blacks are used by the Democrats.
Women are used by the Democrats.
Asians are used by the Democrats.
He said he thinks that calling every white who disagrees with the left racist.
Cheapens the word racist.
He's entirely right.
It is amazing to me that the Anti-Defamation League, supposedly protecting Jews, doesn't object to the left's use of the term Nazi, which cheapens the Nazi evil.
You should have seen the movement to not go to...
Hyatt Hotels, because the Hyatt Hotel in Washington, D.C. allowed CPAC. Right?
And the typical tweet was, how do you allow, how does Hyatt Hotels allow Nazis?
So, if every Republican supporter of President Trump is a Nazi, the Nazis weren't so bad.
Let's be honest.
Anyone who believed that the other party was Nazi would leave the country, wouldn't they?

Investors, the business press and just ordinary citizens concerned about their 401k accounts are beginning to get worried about inflation.
For most of my career, I've been talking conservative leaders down from dire predictions of imminent inflation.
Now, I think that inflation is a very real short and midterm risk.
Last year, the Trump administration borrowed $3.3 trillion, yes, with a T, to fund COVID relief and various stimuli.
At the end of the year, almost another trillion was agreed to, and now the new president is proposing an additional almost two trillion.
So far, almost all of this new spending has been financed out of the central bank's creation of new monetary base.
In other words, we printed the money we spent.
Inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
The Fed is giving us too much money, and the low-growth Biden economy will provide too few goods.
And Americans are right to be concerned.

My favorite question, I think, they're all my favorite, my 32 questions, is this is the one about guns.
I would love to have your anti-gun relative or friend answer this one.
Let's see here.
Isn't that amazing?
How long could it take to look for 32 questions?
There we go.
Number 25. Which school do you believe is more likely to be attacked by a gunman?
One that has a sign in front that reads, gun-free zone?
Or one that reads, this school has armed personnel.
It's a great question because it's a test of the person's honesty.
Thank you.
It is not honest to answer, it doesn't matter.
It's not possible to honestly answer that unless you think on such a primitive level that you need intervention.
So, that's, I've got to remember.
Question 25. Yes, indeed.
Scott, Chicago, hello.
Sir?
Yes.
Are you there?
I am.
Nice speaking with you.
I'm a big fan of yours, and thanks for taking my call.
Good, thank you.
On that question that you just posed, I thought of a segue to that, where people would actually have signage coming into any city that decided to defund the police.
They would have signage saying there's no police in this state and no guns.
Well, we're not at that stage yet, but that's an excellent extrapolation from my question number 25. That's right.
Welcome to Portland, Oregon.
We are proud to say that we are America's first city to not prosecute violent crime and, in fact, not have anyone to catch violent criminals since we have defunded the police.
Welcome to Portland.

Former President Trump cut number seven at CPAC. And I want you to know that I'm going to continue to fight right by your side.
We will do what we've done right from the beginning, which is to win.
We're not starting new parties.
You know, they kept saying, he's going to start a brand new party.
We have the Republican Party.
It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before.
I am not starting a new party.
That was fake news.
Fake news.
No.
Wouldn't that be brilliant?
Let's start a new party and let's divide our vote so that you can never win.
No, we're not interested in that.
Now we have tremendous, Mr. McLaughlin just gave me numbers that nobody's ever heard of before.
More popular than anybody.
That's all of us.
That's all of us.
Those are great numbers and I want to thank you very much.
Those are incredible numbers.
I came here and he was giving me 95%, 97%, 92%.
I said they're great and I want to thank everybody in this room and everybody all throughout the country, throughout the world if you want to really know the truth.
That was a reassuring message to the party that he is not going to split the party Teddy Roosevelt style in 1912 when TR split the Republican Party ran as the bull moose candidate against Taft and Wilson and and Wilson won.
So the president is not starting, former president is not starting a new party.

Andrew Breitbart spent a lot of time on Twitter and on his computer before Twitter was a big platform.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, he all of a sudden saw a very unusual tweet from Anthony Weiner.
Anthony Weiner decided to tweet out a very personal picture of himself.
Andrew Breitbart screenshot it and archived it.
Weiner denied it at first, resulted in Anthony Weiner getting exposed for his pattern of bad behavior.
Andrew Breitbart passed away not too long after that, but the story that Andrew Breitbart started to break turned into a full-fledged investigation into Anthony Weiner's most personal dealings.
Fast forward to the fall of 2016. October of 2016. All of a sudden there was a certain announcement from James Comey.

This is the Ultimate Issues Hour.
Every Tuesday, the third hour of my show, the Dennis Prager Show, is devoted to some great issue of life.
Because without knowing the great issues, you can't possibly understand life.
Belabor the point, but when you think about it, almost none of these great issues are even addressed in the educational, so-called educational life of an American from first grade through graduate school.
And today's issue is at the heart...
Of many differences in our society, the heart of.
There's an article in the New York Times which triggers it.
And it is by a professor of philosophy at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
The man's name is Crispin Sartwell.
I think I should invite him on the show, actually.
He might come.
I think, unlike 99% of those on the left who refuse to dialogue or debate with conservatives, I think he might.
Crispin Sartwell is a self-professed anarchist, according to the New York Times.
As well as in the philosophy department of this college.
Now, his article is titled, Humans are Animals, Let's Get Over It.
Subheading.
It's astonishing how relentlessly Western philosophy has strained to prove we are not squirrels.
Okay, that's the thesis.
Western philosophy has strained to prove we are not squirrels.
In his view, we are squirrels.
We just may have a more developed brain, but we are squirrels.
For the record, I'd like to repeat something that is a central tenet of my outlook on life, why I am an advocate of the Bible.
As the greatest repository of wisdom ever written, it is rooted in distinctions.
I make this point in my commentary on the Bible called The Rational Bible.
By the way, Volume 3, two volumes have come out.
It's the first five volumes of the Bible.
I didn't do it in order.
I did...
Book 2 first.
Book 1 second.
Book 5 third.
Book 5 is Deuteronomy.
It is coming out later this year.
You can pre-order it on Amazon.
The Rational Bible.
Because if we don't understand the Bible, we have lost the West.
So here's a perfect example of an idea that the West is based on.
Distinctions.
Distinctions.
are a way of explaining the biblical outlook.
Man and God are distinct.
Male and female are distinct.
Good and evil are distinct.
Life and death are distinct.
Holy and profane are distinct.
And human and animal are distinct.
Human and animal.
Only the human being is created in God's image.
Now you can say that's all faith.
That's fine.
I don't care.
People act like that dismisses the argument.
I don't deny that being created in God's image is a statement of faith.
Fine.
But without that statement of faith, we are animals.
Why do you think for all of my life I have asked young people, would you save your dog or a stranger first if both were drowning?
To show that feelings have trumped values with regard to the worth of the human being.
PETA, the people of the ethical treatment of animals, I think the most widely funded of the animal rights organizations, has frequently argued that you cannot kill a pig.
To remove a heart valve and save a human's life.
I had Ingrid Newkirk on my show many, many, many years ago, the founder of, or I think the founder, but certainly the head of PETA. And I asked her, do you believe that we are worth, that we are the equivalent of chickens?
And she said yes.
By the way, fascinatingly, I thought to ask her the question, so what is Pete's stance on abortion?
If a chicken is a human, is worth a human life, what is an unborn human?
And they said, we have no position on abortion.
Which is because if they were consistent with their values, of course they'd be opposed to abortion.
You can kill a human fetus in the eighth month, but you can't kill a chicken?
You know how absurd that is?
You probably do know how absurd that is.
It's another point.
I shall not belabor.
The distinction between man and animal, or human and animal, if you're offended by the use of the word man, and if you are, you're very bored in life.
Boredom is a major.
Reason for these passions.
If you get upset over that, you have a pretty darn good life.
That you can get upset over the word man instead of human.
Man and animal, human and animal are distinct.
But if you are not Bible-based, If you're not in a Judeo-Christian faith, there's no reason to believe that.
That's why the Times published this article by this professor.
The separation of people, he writes, from and the superiority of people to members of other species is a good candidate for the originating idea of Western thought.
I didn't say this.
I mean, I have.
I've said it a hundred times.
But I didn't write this.
This is an atheist professor saying we are animals writing it.
He recognizes how central to the West the idea that humans and animals are distinct is.
Most people today do not.
They are taught by people who believe people are just another animal.
Maybe a bigger brain, maybe the unique ability to speak, though they'll probably show you some porpoise films that claim otherwise, but essentially the only creature that speaks.
And that's it.
They will show biological differences, but not differences in worth.
So he's right.
It is a good candidate for the originating idea of Western thought.
And then he adds, and a good candidate for the worst.
Wow.
The worst idea in Western thought is that we're not animals?
One difficult thing.
To face about our animality is that it entails our deaths.
Being an animal is associated throughout philosophy with dying purposelessly and so with living meaninglessly.
That's correct!
So, we're just an animal and we die like an animal.
And we think that we have purpose, whereas animals don't delude themselves.
And that's the way it is.
This is what your kids are learning by implication, if not explicitly, when they go to an American secular school, which is nearly all of our schools.

you you This might be the most important thing, because a lot of people wonder, what is Trumpism?
And no one is allowed to define Trumpism more than Donald Trump.
They have an equal right to their own definition, but when Donald Trump tells you what Trumpism is, you ought to write it down.
Cut number 11. It means low taxes and eliminating job-killing regulations, Trumpism.
It means strong borders.
But people coming into our country based on a system of merit, so they come in and they can help us as opposed to coming here and not being good for us, including criminals, of which there are many.
It means no riots in the streets.
It means law enforcement.
It means very strong protection for the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms.
It means support for the forgotten men and women who have been taken advantage of for so many years, and they were doing great.
They were doing great before that horrible thing from China came in and hit us, and now they're starting to do really well again.
It was a very fine speech by President Trump, former President Trump.
Bottom line, the news takeaway.
Trump won't split the Republican Party.
He may run.
He certainly isn't going to go away, and he certainly is not going to lead a reclusive expo.
He's going to be like former President Obama in his former presidency, deeply involved in politics from the get-go.

Please help us help this country and the West.
I will be doing a fireside chat on the subject, in fact.
PragerU.com, 833-PRAGERU. So, professor of philosophy, atheist, or at least secularist, writes in the New York Times that We should get over the fact that we're just animals.
It's the title.
Humans are animals.
Let's get over it.
Subtitle.
It's astonishing how relentlessly Western philosophy has strained to prove we are not animals.
That's right.
And if there is no God, we are just animals.
That is correct.
On many occasions, I have noted.
That if there is one theme that has run through all of my career, it is the consequences of secularism, the consequences of the death of the God of the Bible, the Bible, and Judeo-Christian religions.
The chaos, the anarchy, the moral confusion, the ability to believe that math is bigoted, There's no one right answer.
It began with, there's no one right answer in morality.
Everything is relative, even mathematics.
Yeah.
The lack of wisdom of our age is that we think that we can get rid of God, the Bible, and religion, and stay the same, or get better.
That's the hubris of our time.
Hence the antipathy toward religion.
Specifically Judeo-Christian religion.
Certainly not against this slot.
Finally, this professor concludes his piece.
There is no doubt that human beings are distinct from other animals, though not necessarily more distinct than other animals are from one another.
So there you go.
So yes, we're different.
We have a bigger brain.
We walk upright.
We speak.
Got it.
But the differences between us and animals is not necessarily as great as between any two species of animals.
See?
There you go.
So we are closer to any given animal than, let us say, a lobster is to an elephant.
Okay?
Last sentence in his column.
Our resemblance to squirrels doesn't have to be interpreted as a threat to our self-image.
Really.
It's not a threat to our self-image.
You're just a squirrel.
That should have no impact on your self-image.
Instead, it could be seen as a hopeful sign that we will someday be better.
At tree leaping.
Not a particularly profound ending, but the whole thing is interesting that they would find a professor to write such an article in the New York Times.
He is right, though.
Western civilization is based on the belief that the human being is different.
And inherently more valuable than an animal.
That is correct.
1-8 Prager 776. 877-243-7776.
Do you differ?
Have you taught this to your children?
Have your children ever learned this?
I don't mean your 6-year-olds.
I mean your 16 and 26-year-olds.
Have they ever learned this?
Rule of life.
The human being is different.
There are those who say animals have souls.
I think they might, but in a different way than we have a soul.
It is we who have a soul.
There is an independent me of my body.
That is the belief.
By the way, the whole belief that there is a hereafter is predicated on there being obviously a soul.
If there's nothing other than your body, then clearly there is no hereafter.
So there are a lot of ramifications to this belief.
All right, everybody.
1-8 Prager 776. And...
Let's go to Craig in Southfield, Michigan.
Hello, Craig.
Yeah, hi, Dennis.
It's an interesting observation that every time one of these professors has an article in something like the New York Times, that they always depreciate the value of a human being.
That's correct.
And they're not honest at all, or they're really stupid.
Because even if we were just animals, the fact that we have language, like that we can have a future, which is a concept that occurs in language, right?
It's like when they should be so blown away and so amazed at this world that just happened to have all of the elements that we need to create all the technology.
A rubber tree that we can make rubber to make a tire, just everything.
They should be blown away more than a believer in the creation because we take it for granted that we have a God that cares for us, but this amazing planet, right?
Yeah, well, you're right.
I mean, they would respond, oh, there is a great mystery.
I mean, the best of the...
Atheist philosophers would say, oh, this is a great mystery.
By the way, I had a dialogue debate with an atheist in my fireside chat last week, an hour and 20 minutes.
My fireside chats are always a half hour.
This was an hour and 20 minutes with a major atheist.
So you might want to go to PragerU and watch that.
And have your kids watch that.
See, at the root of all this, Is the religious question.
And in one sentence, this atheist philosopher acknowledged it.
That the distinction between human and animal is at the root of Western philosophy.
The only thing I would differ there is he said, we've tried to prove.
Nobody's tried to prove.
You can't prove that human beings have a soul.
Nothing non-material can be proven.
I don't believe God's existence could be proven.
I've never once said I could prove.
I can argue persuasively that the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of a Creator.
That I could argue, but never a proof.
None of us works on proofs.
We all work on suppositions.
The atheist who believes that it is good to be kind and not cruel, that's a belief.
Everybody works on beliefs.
Ours work.

Who will fight for this country.
Not just for members of a certain class.
He's not going to fight for his fellow quote-unquote politicians because he's not a politician.
He wasn't then and he isn't now.
This is a man who will fight for America.
And all that is good about America.
That's why the wall matters.
That's why jobs matter.
That's why a trade war with China was essential to our administration, to bring those jobs back.
That's why we didn't surrender to ISIS. Like Obama did and say, sorry guys, I said they were a JV team, but now, quote-unquote, they've become a generational threat.
You're just gonna have to live with it.
No.

We are so divided in this country that those of us who can reach across the aisle and agree on certain things really, really need to do it right now.
And it really blessed me to hear you talk about our civil liberties and some of the things that, to me, seem like common sense.
There aren't a lot of people on the political left, or I'm not sure where you are exactly, maybe these categories don't even work anymore, who are talking about it.
While I am on the left, if you're unfamiliar with me, everybody, I wrote a book in 2008 about the risk to America of losing all of our freedoms and the descent into fascism.
And the reason I've been very kind of outspoken and trying to sound a warning now in a very transpartisan way, as you kindly mentioned, Eric, is that we're at step 10. You know, I kind of spelled out in that book that there are 10 steps to fascism that...
Tyrants on the left or on the right always take.
And over the years, people have said, well, when are we at step 10?
And we haven't been, but now we are.
And so now is not the time to let ourselves be divided by all the things that we can debate about, you know, forever and that should be debated and should be argued over.
And, you know, there should be battles in the right forums like Congress around the things we disagree on.
But we have to unite as a nation.
To save our Constitution, save our First Amendment freedoms, which are being crushed by this, you know, medical pandemic, which is real, but has been exploited by very cynical people.
There's a kind of systematic assault on our liberties going on right now using the pandemic as a pretext.

Hi, everybody.
You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
Oh.
Thank you.
The Ultimate Issues Hour, third hour every Tuesday, and the great issue, the ultimate issue today is our humans' animals.
Having been raised in a religious world, I was aware constantly that I was at a secular place when I went to college and then graduate school.
Most people don't think of it like that.
They're aware when they visit a religious place, but they're not aware of it when they go to a secular place.
Secular is normal, religious is abnormal, even for religious people in many instances.
But I was aware of the fact constantly that I was in a secular environment.
And I remember the cavalier way in which a textbook would say, humans and other animals.
Well, I had never said those words, humans and other animals.
I had always said humans and animals.
By the way, that's a giveaway.
The word other is a giveaway as to a person's outlook on life.
Human beings and other animals is very different from human beings and animals.
The word other is an indication of the secular outlook of the individual.
Even if the individual claims to be religious, they have adopted a secular view, a non-religious view.
The Judeo-Christian, and I'm not saying it's the only religious tradition, but the Judeo-Christian view is that human beings are utterly distinct from animals in that we have a human soul, we are created in God's image, etc., etc.
If you don't think that thinking that people are animals has not affected the way in which People act toward people.
It would seem to be naive on your part, wouldn't it?
I mean, if we're squirrels, why can't we be eliminated if we're regarded as a nuisance?
A relative of mine who cares deeply about animals, nevertheless, Blew up, I think, actually, the squirrels that kept coming down his chimney somewhere in the Northeast.
And would he do that to people?
Of course not.
People don't take the consequences of their beliefs seriously.
That's what I've tried to do on the radio and in writing for all of my life.
Have you realize, and have of course me realize, the consequences of what we believe.
Or if you will, the consequences of what we don't believe.
This one is a big one.
Sarasota, Florida, and Jimmy.
Hello, Jimmy.
I love the show, Dennis.
Thank you.
Good.
The left says that we're only animals, yet we're the only animal that has multiple sexes.
I have always wondered about that.
Does anybody deny that if an animal is born on the farm and you see a penis, you assume it is male?
Does anybody say, well, we don't know what identity it will affirm?
That's right.
Your point is excellent.
I thank you.
It's a very odd thing, isn't it?
Animals are male and female.
Humans are not.
And yet they say, this is the key, and Jimmy's right.
We're animals.
So then we're the only animal that does not have male and female, that has a spectrum that is non-binary.
To use their Orwellian language.
So do you believe we're animals?
Or don't you believe we're animals?
Name me an animal that is not male or female.
Or if you will, name me an other animal.
Can't do it.
See, this argument, we're just animals.
Is, for most people, simply a battering ram against Judeo-Christian slash Western civilization?
I don't believe they really believe we're squirrels with a brain.
It's a battering ram.

Andrew Breitbart spent a lot of time on Twitter and on his computer.
Before Twitter was a big platform.
Thank you.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, he all of a sudden saw a very unusual tweet from Anthony Weiner.
Anthony Weiner decided to tweet out a very personal picture of himself.
Andrew Breitbart screenshot it and archived it.
Weiner denied it at first, resulted in Anthony Weiner.
Getting exposed for his pattern of bad behavior.
Andrew Breitbart passed away not too long after that, but the story that Andrew Breitbart started to break turned into a full-fledged investigation into Anthony Weiner's most personal dealings.
Fast forward to the fall.
Of 2016. October of 2016. All of a sudden there was a certain announcement from James Comey.
You might remember.
That got James Comey in a lot of trouble when James Comey said that there was a new server that was found and there are questions around Hillary Clinton's emails.
Now, what emails were they?
They were emails from Khouma Abedin.
Who is Khouma Abedin, the former wife and partner of Anthony Weiner?
How did the FBI get their hands on them?
Because of the shenanigans and criminal behavior of Anthony Weiner.

And the cancel culture has been coming from, you know, the radical left, but it seems like big tech and everybody is just bowing to this, that they don't have any fundamental values to say, we're just not going to go there.
We have different views and things.
I mean, it's gotten out of hand.
I feel like I'm in the French Revolution or something.
I do feel that we're in a cult.
I'm going to say, I mean, I'm reluctant to say the radical left because I don't want to splinter the left, but I guess I also have to face the fact that the left is splintering.
And there are people like me, I guess traditional liberals, who share values with you and your team, you know, that above all, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of worship, these are core values and we fight for them to the death.
I say that non-violently, just being super careful.
And then there are these kind of neo-Marxist totalitarian enforcements of how everyone should think or how everyone should behave, you know, these really Stalinist imposition. these really Stalinist imposition.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. hey.
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
You are listening to the Ultimate Issues Hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
Every Tuesday, third hour, Ultimate Issues.
Professor writes in the New York Times, it's the subject of today's Ultimate Issues, that we are just animals, that we should get over this Western notion.
Which is correct.
One thing I agree with him.
It's at the very foundation of Western civilization that we are not animals.
Of course we're biologically animals.
But we have non-biological, non-material aspects.
We are created in the divine image.
To which you will say, well, that's just a matter of faith.
Everything's a matter of faith in the final analysis, as I told you.
To believe that you shouldn't rob a bank if you can get away with it is a matter of faith because you believe that there's a right and a wrong.
Matter of faith.
Well, let me tell you something.
Without these matters of faith, you have the chaos of a generation of nuns, N-O-N-E-S, nuns, people of no religion, who have no foundations.
Their foundations are their feelings or what they're told in school.
The absence of these faith claims of the Judeo-Christian world is what opens people up to becoming brainwashed and indoctrinated.
That's why they hate religion.
It's the only thing that stands in their way.
That's the upshot of this article, because you could ask, and if this professor came on, I would ask him.
Okay, so we're just squirrels.
How does that change anything?
Will you therefore treat people as you would treat squirrels?
Will you treat squirrels like you treat people?
How about mosquitoes?
Will you kill a mosquito?
Would you call the killing of a cow murder?
We call the killing of a human murder.
Would you call the killing of a cow murder?
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which does believe in human-animal equivalents, does.
The only time I ever yelled at a guest, and I did because of the true evil of what he was saying, is the man who created the program for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called...
Holocaust on your plate, in which you can still see it on the internet.
PETA equates the barbecuing of chickens with the cremation of the Jews.
There you go.
At least they're consistent with their beliefs.
If humans are animals, what's the difference between barbecuing a chicken and...
Killing and cremating a human being.
Correct or not correct?
Stan Cleveland, the famous, I might add, Stan of Cleveland.
Hello.
Hello, Dennis.
Thank you for taking my call.
When I was a boy and I began high school, I attended a Catholic high school, and the Dominican fathers there taught us on the first day of school.
The beginnings of Thomistic philosophy and theology.
And we were taught that human beings, men, are rational animals having an intellect and a will and an imagination.
And that all living creatures have a soul in the sense that the soul is described as the life principle in the creature.
We have a rational soul.
Animals have what is called a sensitive soul, plants, a vegetative soul, and this is a description of the life principle within all living creatures.
And all of us, as you indicated, as human beings, are created in the image and the likeness of God.
Which plants and other animals are not.
What do you mean?
Animals are not created in God's image.
We are.
That's correct.
Okay, that's all I wanted to ascertain.
Thank you.
Yes, the idea...
I do not reject the idea that animals have a soul in some way.
They have a living soul, a nefesh in the Hebrew.
Yes, that is correct.
My argument is not that they do not have a soul, at least at some level, in the animal kingdom.
It's that they do not have the soul we have, or they are not created in God's image.
That's specific.
Now, again, this is a statement of faith.
I fully acknowledge it.
But without this statement of faith, we are squirrels.
There are ramifications to that.
I was taught In my religious education, many, many great lessons.
One of them was, whenever you meet somebody, remember that they too were created in God's image.
I have carried that through my life.
People have commented that I treat callers respectfully.
There's a reason for that.
Many reasons for it as it happens, but one big one is I did imbibe this belief that everybody I meet is created in God's image.
Now, the problem is evil people, and there are evil people.
If you deny there are evil people, then you cannot claim there are good people.
You can't say that there are no evil people, but there are good people.
It's an absurdity.
And I can only say, in those cases, they have sort of destroyed that aspect of themselves, the divine aspect.
But putting them aside, it has had an impact.
And it would on you.
Everybody you meet, to put it in the terms of people in various religions, everyone...
Is a child with God.
Back in a moment.

Yeah.
He wasn't an ideological candidate.
Monica Crowley told us.
He was an attitudinal candidate.
It wasn't about fitting into somebody else's predetermined prejudice labeling system.
It was about his attitude.
Not as a billionaire from Manhattan.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
That's superficial.
That's the last 50 years of his professional career.
No, the kid from Queens, the young boy, the young man who would have to go collecting rent from the low-income buildings that his father had built to give individuals that first step up.
That's who he is, who he still is.

For members of a certain class.

Okay.
Yes, indeed. indeed.
Tough to believe that the hour is almost up.
Don't hang up.
I'd like to summarize some of your calls, at least.
If I don't get you to say them, at least I get your thought, or part of your thought.
Somebody who hung up said that with regard to the subject of the hour, the ultimate issues hour, humans are not another animal.
Contrary to this piece written by this atheist philosopher in the New York Times, that humans are squirrels.
That humans, however, are capable of far greater cruelty than animals.
That's entirely true.
But whenever I hear that, people seem only to give one part of the equation.
Only humans build hospitals.
Humans are also capable of much greater kindness.
When your dog licks you, it's not a function of kindness.
In fact, these are not functions of much other than instinct.
And that doesn't put them down or make our relationship to our dog any less wonderful.
They're creatures made for us, in my belief.
You might even argue we're made for them.
We clean their poop.
We shampoo them, we feed them, we walk them, and we rub them.
What do they do?
They accept all of that with joy.
It's a big issue.
You should raise this issue with people at your dinner table.
Jerry in Dallas has been on the whole hour.
I'm sorry.
Adolf Hitler shared the belief that animals and humans are the same.
I don't think he thought that.
Send me some reference to that.
Because he believed in the superiority of Aryans.
So it's hard for me to believe he would have thought that the average Aryan, German, Austrian...
Was no better than a squirrel.
But I would be interested in that.
Well, Gene in Michigan taught first grade.
Children were being told they were equivalent to worms by a guest speaker.
And yet you all still keep your kids in secular schools.
And wonder why they come out the way they do.
Please click on the banner for my trip to Israel.
It's a perfect segue.
The birthplace of the idea that we're created in God's image.
We're going in October.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you.
Obama told Bruce Springsteen that he broke a classmate's nose for calling him a racial slur.
Quote, listen, when I was in school I had a friend.
We played basketball together.
And at one time he got into a fight and he called me a...
C-dash-dash-dash.
What word would that be?
I'm assuming that's coon.
And he said, first of all, ain't no coons in Hawaii, right?
