Time Text
Thank you.
This is obviously not Dennis Prager.
This is Alan Estrin, the executive producer of the Dennis Prager Show.
Dennis has been held up.
The occasional traffic jam still does happen.
Oh, look, he's coming.
He's arriving.
He's here.
He's rushing to the Dennis Prager Relief Factor microphone.
And he's here.
And he's talking.
You want to hear what I was going to say?
Yes, I do, actually.
Okay, so I was going to comment that it feels like the world is upside down.
And I was going to give four examples, but I could give ten.
The four examples are, one, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is a victim.
Two, Dumbo gets grounded.
Three, there's a crisis at the border, a real serious crisis at the border involving migrant children who are coming to the border, being put in adult facilities, the same facilities that were so horrible when Donald Trump was president, but we're not hearing anything from Hollywood, almost no coverage whatsoever.
From the mainstream media.
I mean, I don't know how many people recognize or realize that there is a crisis on the border.
They're going to know it soon.
It's not going to be avoidable.
But there's nothing from the media, nothing from Hollywood.
And four, the trillions of dollars are being spent by the federal government.
The word, the trillion, means nothing anymore.
Billions mean nothing anymore.
We have lost all sense of what money means.
And we talk about trillions, one trillion.
What's the difference between one trillion and two trillion?
There's only a trillion dollar difference.
And we're barely a month into the new administration.
So we're living in an upside-down world.
And the reason it's upside-down, Is right side up, the left has nothing to do.
That's the reason.
If you believe that Dumbo, or Pepe Le Pew, or Dr. Seuss, and who was the latest cartoon?
Speedy Gonzalez.
That these are nefarious characters that poison the minds of young people.
This is a living proof of how little wrong there is with the country.
I'll give you a human example.
Let's say you are married to a wonderful human being.
However, this human being, on occasion, I'm trying to think of something That is truly trivial.
Trivial to the point of almost non-existence.
This person does just about everything right, but is 30 seconds late whenever you leave the house.
Your spouse, your partner.
30 seconds.
Consistently.
And you then speak Of your spouse as your condition is bordering on divorce because your spouse is habitually a minute late.
That is what the left is to America.
Nobody cares if you're a minute late.
No one.
No normal human being.
The left is not normal, morally normal.
There's another thing that I'm glad you actually mentioned all of this.
There's another thing that is at work here.
The left loathes joy.
Every joy must be compromised.
The joy of driving your own car, the joy of owning your own home, the joy of...
Oh, yes, that's right, eating meat.
That's correct.
Look, my wife is a vegetarian.
Doesn't give me a hard time, though.
I have respect to vegetarians.
It's actually a morally compelling argument.
There is one.
There are moral arguments for meat-eating.
But...
Every joy...
Oh, yes, you mentioned straws.
Yes, that's right.
People were using straws.
People were using paper bags.
I don't think people understand how big the ocean is.
The idea that plastic will ruin the ocean.
Have you ever actually seen...
Unless Google has suppressed it.
There is a drawing on the internet of...
The entirety of the area of plastic in the ocean, and needless to say, you cannot see it.
If you took a picture, and they did, of the Pacific Ocean, it would be such a speck as to be invisible to the naked eye.
I'm not happy if turtles get straws in their nostrils, but I think people need to put things into perspective.
We are living in the age of absurdity because there is a need for the absurd to further the cause of the left.
All whites are racist is as absurd as Dumbo is racist.
Except it's a more venal lie.
But it's absurd, right?
It's a white who's saying it.
So why should I listen to you?
Why isn't your morality compromised by the fact that you say it?
And by the way, since I know I'm not a racist, I know it.
I know I am not a racist as much as I know that I am Dennis Prager.
Okay?
So therefore, I can only assume you know you are a racist, since you are saying all whites are racist.
Why would I invite you to lecture?
What if somebody went around saying all Gentiles are anti-Semites?
And this was a Gentile, a non-Jew, who said this.
Why would I want to listen to an anti-Semite?
An admitted anti-Semite.
We live in the age of the absurd because there's nothing rational for them to attack.
So everything is made up.
Everything is made up.
Riots over something made up.
Yes, it's made up that there is extensive and systemic police anti-black brutality.
Follow the science is one of the great lies of the left because they don't follow the science, meaning the numbers.
The tiny numbers of blacks killed by police in a given year.
Tiny!
Especially unarmed blacks.
That's the issue, right?
Unarmed.
Hands up, don't shoot.
Was a lie.
President called Nazis fine people.
Was a lie.
The left is a world of the absurd and of the lie.
Every morning I wake up and I hear another absurdity because the country is so decent, basically, that you have to say, ah, but you were a minute late last November.
You are unworthy of marriage.
Let's divorce.
Truth is, I wish the left did divorce.
I have a fantasy every so often of left states.
The Soviet states and the free states of America.
I know where I would live.
I'd be very curious.
I'd like to ask liberals.
Would you rather live in a state governed by Republicans or Democrats, left or right?
I wonder what they would say.
Would you rather live in Texas, where there's no...
Talk about absurd, the absurdity.
Get vaccinated, you still need a mask.
You get vaccinated, you still shouldn't travel.
What the hell is the point of the vaccine?
So the absurd governs our time.
But there's a reason.
That's what you have to remember.
Because you must enter the world of the absurd.
To attack America as systemically racist or anything else.
Yep.
Skunk doesn't take no for an answer in his sexual desires.
To think of the youth of America poisoned by that skunk.
It's amazing how many decent men have been.
have been developed in this country, who have withstood that cartoon.
This is Carol Platt-Lebow of Yankee Institute for townhall.com.
Matt Meyer is president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, a union leading the effort to keep children at home, insisting that reopening schools is just too unsafe.
So jaws dropped when video of him was seen taking his own daughter to in-person preschool.
The episode highlights the hypocrisy and cynicism evident in too much COVID policy, especially in education.
School districts with strong teachers unions are less likely to hold in-person classes.
Meanwhile, our children remain trapped at home, suffering from social isolation and learning loss.
The achievement gap has increased, and there's a worsening youth mental health crisis.
Parents have stood by helplessly at the mercy of the unions, even as the CDC admits that schools can reopen safely.
In-person learning shouldn't be reserved for children of the privileged.
Our kids deserve policies that put their rightful needs over the self-serving demands of union elites.

The last thing we need is a Neanderthal thinking that, in the meantime, everything's fine.
Take off your mask.
Forget it.
It still matters.
I carry a card.
I don't have it.
I put it on my desk.
As of yesterday, we have lost 511,874 Americans.
Who's the Neanderthal?
He needs a card to remind him.
He needed a card the last time and now he's left it on his desk.
Did you see what he did in that video?
Who's the Neanderthal?
What has Fauci told us a million times?
What has the CDC told us a thousand times?
Don't touch your mask.
And he touches it right in the middle where he's breathing through it.
And then he's going to touch the table.
He's going to touch the Resolute Desk.
Who's the Neanderthal now?
Now let's start for a second on his choice of words.
Shad thinks it's not as bad as deplorable because...
Because why, Shad?
Well, because it might be tough for the average red-blooded American to go around calling themselves a Neanderthal.
It was easy to take up deplorable.
Because it's got too many syllables?
No, no, no, of course not, of course not.
But it has a stronger connotation, you know?
It's more direct.
It makes you...
It's not...
You're outside of the norm, you're stupid.
And that's a totally different ballgame.
But isn't the Neanderthal the alpha of alpha males?
Well, historically, actually, women were far more attracted to Neanderthals than they were the Homo erectus, which is why there's a lot of Neanderthal blood in most Europeans.
There's a reason why the missing link is still missing, you know?
He was a bit of a beta male.
Okay, seriously, let's analyze.

I want to praise Governor Greg Abbott for announcing that he is going to fully open the state of Texas.
He's been a little bit slow to the draw.
He locked down too much back in the spring, but he is doing the right thing.
Brenna has emailed us, and it's a great question.
Charlie, Governor Abbott finally stepped up and had the courage to open Texas 100%.
You're right.
He also removed the mask mandate and we can breathe again.
I'm thinking he took notes from Ron DeSantis.
You're right.
So proud of his courage.
However, many people are saying he made the wrong choice.
How can this be?
Why would people not want their freedom back?
Love the show.
Listen to you every day.
Brenna from Little Elm, Texas.
Brenna, you have asked the best question of the day.
I'm going to send you a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine because you are pursuing...
No, no, this way.
It's free to pass it all.
There's an idea.
Support an educational institution that actually teaches you a value.
For your university, go to freeuniversity.com and donate.
Want to do something?
And a reminder that March and August are fundraising months for PragerU.
Whatever you give this week, incidentally, is doubled by a grant to PragerU.
So if you give $100,000, it's $200,000.
Yeah?
Think about that.
If $200, it's $400.
If you give $10, it's $20.
PragerU.com, 833-PRAGERU. And we are living in this age of the absurd.
There's nothing more absurd than what has happened to sciences.
It's just incredible.
I can't get over it.
I just keep repeating it because I want you to assimilate this into your consciousness and raise it to people.
I'm supposed to take Dr. Fauci seriously?
You get a vaccine, you should still be wearing a mask?
Has that ever happened in the history of vaccinations?
Even the vaccine is a fraud?
Or he is?
I don't know if you have a different or a few better.
In this regard, he's a fraud.
I don't think he says what science says.
I don't know what animates him, to be honest.
I have a strong feeling that the billions given by big pharmaceutical companies to...
Is he with the NIH or the CDC? He's who?
Fauci?
Yeah.
He's not with the CDC. He's like the medical advisor.
So the vast sums of money that are given to the medical establishment by the pharmaceutical companies, I have a feeling.
I can't prove it.
It would be nice to see his tax return.
You're all into presidential tax returns.
I'm not, actually.
But if presidential candidates have to show tax returns, so should every major figure in the United States.
Right?
I'd like to know if they're compromised.
Is Dr. Fauci wealthy?
Do you know?
Do we know if he is?
It would be an interesting question.
How do you spend your entire life in the medical profession and get wealthy?
If he is.
I'm not saying he is.
But these are legitimate questions.
How did Joe Biden and his whole family get wealthy?
He's one of the most corrupt families in American political history.
But he's a Democrat, so it's irrelevant to the media.
Who?
Dr. Fauci?
Yeah, well, you know what?
The reason I'm not citing what you said is the Internet is filled with lies.
I mean, if you look me up...
I only wish to God I were as wealthy as I have described on the internet.
They make up figures.
The number of things made up is troubling.
There is fake news.
There's no question about it.
But what are you going to do?
Ban fake news?
What you have to do is people need to know what to trust.
They don't know what to trust any longer.
It's one of the very great problems in the United States.
The mainstream media, they are truly fake news.
They are to the Democratic Party what Pravda was to the Communist Party.
That's all they are.
They're bootlickers for the left.
Okay?
I'm sorry about it.
I'm not happy about it.
I loved newspapers all of my life.
As a kid, I... Every day that the New York Herald Tribune or the New York Times arrived was so exciting.
I could still name you the New York Times writers in the Soviet Union.
Theodore, Shabbat, Seymour, Topping.
Isn't that amazing that those names are still in my mind?
That's how avidly I read the New York Times when I was in high school.
It is unworthy of being read today.
You should do what Haydn's wife did with some of his manuscripts, wrap fish with it.
Can you imagine that?
One of the greatest composers who ever lived married such a shrew.
She would take some of his manuscripts, and it's not like he had it in the cloud.
It was the only version of that particular piece of music.
So you think you have troubles, think of Haydn's wife.
Haydn is one of my three favorite composers, Bach, Beethoven, Haydn.
There was a Haydn symphony that I conducted at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A. that caused the big commotion that the New York Times wrote a feature piece on it and got stuff wrong.
You know, they sent me a version, which is interesting, to check.
And the errors were astonishing.
They got rid of one that I pointed out.
They didn't get rid of the other.
And so then everybody quotes the New York Times.
The New York Times said I said things, which I never said, but it never put it in quotes.
So they didn't say I said it.
They said Prager suggested.
Isn't that cute?
I suggested.
What is the difference between said and suggested?
It's a big difference, apparently.
USA Today.
Did you see this?
CDC misinterpreted our research on opening schools.
Did you see that piece?
Written by four doctors.
Tara Henderson, Monica Gundy, Tracy Beth Hoag, and Daniel Johnson.
Tara Henderson is professor of pediatrics and interim chief of pediatric hematology, oncology, and stem cell transplantation at the University of Chicago.
Dr. Monica Gandhi is a professor of medicine, associate division chief of the Division of HIV, Infectious Disease, and Global Medicine, UC San Francisco.
Dr. Tracy Beth Hoag, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist and Epidemiologist, University of California, Davis.
Dr. Daniel Johnson, Professor of Pediatrics, Chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Academic Pediatric at the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital.
Is that good enough for you folks?
For you who follow the science?
You don't follow the science.
Don't fool yourselves.
You follow the scientists you agree with.
There is something much worse than lying.
It's lying to yourself.
There's no hope for such people.
People on the left don't follow the science.
They follow the scientists they agree with.
I can't believe USA Today published this piece, to be honest.
Amazing.
CDC misinterpreted.
Oh, the CDC would misinterpret science?
What?
Shock.
On opening schools, it should loosen the rules now.
Keeping schools closed or even partially closed based on what we know now is harming children.
That was my column this week.
The damage done to children by American schools.
If you respect the teaching profession in high school and college or elementary school, it's because you don't know what they're doing.
There are some wonderful people teaching.
Unfortunately, in major cities, I can't speak for suburban or rural America, but in urban America, the state of teaching is immoral.

mandate.
Alaska, that's a biggie.
Arizona, Florida, Rondesantis, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana.
Nebraska, North Dakota, the Northern Marinara Islands, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas.
Now, let's be very clear.
It's not complicated math.
Not having a mask mandate, not having the state say you have...
You have to.
You are mandated to wear masks.
Does not in any way shape or form prevent an American citizen from wearing a mask if they wish they could wear a level four biohazard suit to go shopping for a gallon of milk.
But the state does not require of you to wear masks.
A mask.
Because they treat you like an adult.
They think it's up to you.
Just a little reminder.

Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
Prevailing viewpoint over the last couple decades is people want to be free.
No, they don't.
They want to be provided, stuffed, and taken care of.
They want to be beneficiaries of a welfare state.
Any glimmer of people wanting to be free is because They either have responsibility, they understand what freedom is, or they have a worldview that mandates them to be active and productive, like the Christian worldview.
Whereas the secular worldview does not require you to be active and productive, instead it would require you to be complaining and sedentary.
Stationary.
Shelby Steele said on our live stream, you might have heard it, that the challenge today is not slavery.
It is freedom.
When God, through Moses, brought the Israelites out of Egypt into the wilderness, they were being fed.
What did they start to do?
They started to complain.
And they said, take us back to Egypt.
There was meat there.
As soon as people have a taste of freedom, most want to go back.
Freedom and liberty can be very dangerous.
Thinking that other people might not be wearing masks?
Yeah, that's right.
You might have to make decisions to adjust to that.
To think that people are not going to be locked down in their homes and then go to restaurants?
Yes.
You might have to make adjustments to that.
By the way, do you notice that Greg Abbott did not say you must go to a restaurant next week?
week he says you can keep up with what's trending subscribe on youtube today trending now on the mike
deliger show all right everybody Dennis Prager here.
Do you know what he actually said?
The Miami Heat player?
Are you familiar?
It is in the article?
Say it again?
Oh, in the New York Post story.
I'm reading the New York Times story.
So he said kike.
Is that right?
Is that what he said?
Okay.
I don't want this...
Right.
So he called somebody that.
He didn't...
Okay, right.
So that's different from saying the word.
You see, if you say the N-word, even if you say the N-word, even if you say it is so wrong to call anybody and then say the word, you are fired.
Your life is ruined.
But that's not the same as calling a person of color the N-word.
That's vicious.
That's immoral.
Does anybody, well, everyone who is not on the left understands what I just said.
Most people on the left understand it, but don't want to understand it.
It's willful ignorance.
So, as a Jew, I condemn this, and as a human being, I condemn this, just as if you called a black the word.
Now, if the guy, however, here's the point.
I'd like the guy to say, why did you say this?
I would like to know.
It's not common.
So did you grow up in a culture that said that?
Was this said in your home?
I'd like to rehabilitate the guy.
I'd like to turn him into a more decent person and one who understands.
What Jews have suffered because of anti-Semitism, I don't want him out of the NBA forever.
I mean, unless he says, look, that's what I call Jews, and that's the end, but it's inconceivable.
Right?
Of course.
Right.
One of the many ugly features of the left, left has only ugly features, is that it doesn't forgive.
Yesterday, you should get a recording of it.
The third hour yesterday...
Oh, I do, yes.
I'll tell you about...
I forgot I have a guest, and I don't want to...
I will tell you about that later.
All righty.
That's my favorite guest, because it's a Prager Force member.
We have 13,000 all over the world, Prager Force members, high school and college.
So here we have...
Oh, is she in the Dominican Republic?
Cool.
I love my time in the Dominican Republic.
Had a great time there.
It's Isabella Balbuena.
She's a high school student at the St. George School in the Dominican Republic.
Well, Isabella, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
Hi, Dennis.
How are you?
I am very happy to talk to you.
So how did you find out about PragerU in the Dominican Republic?
Well, I, for a fortune, go to an international school.
So we were very exposed to politics in an early age, especially to American politics.
So once I started off as a liberal, a lot of my conservative friends would tend to send me PragerU videos to see what could I say about them.
And usually I couldn't define stuff.
So that's sort of how I found out about PragerU.
Well, that's really remarkable.
Why is your English so good?
Well, my family is part American, and my school is from the UK, so I've been learning English since I was a baby.
Yeah, well, you speak with an American accent, and you don't speak with any accent, which is, if you heard me in Spanish, you would know I did not come from the Dominican Republic.
Though I enjoy American accents when they speak Spanish, I think it's quite pleasant.
I even don't think it's pleasant.
So you are truly on a higher moral level than I am.
When I hear a thick American accent in any foreign language, I want to run away.
So are you in your last year at high school?
Yes, I'm actually going to college in August, so I'm sort of nervous about that.
And where will the college be?
I'm thinking about Pace University, but I'm probably going to New York.
Alright, stay on with me if you would.
This gives you an idea of the reach of PragerU.
It's truly over a hundred countries.
Everything we do is free.
Please help us.
This is fundraising month.
Nerve Renew is one of the most remarkable things I have ever advertised.
I asked them if they would because I threw away my shoe inserts, which I had been using for over 10 years.
I realized I didn't need them anymore for the tingling in my feet that has been almost all of my life, just built into my feet.
That is how effective it is.
They have a one-year money-back guarantee.
If you have this tingling in your hands, your feet, etc., why wouldn't you try this?
And two weeks is free.

They want to be taken care of.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I've done a few of these before with Mike Gallagher.
They've been life-changing for people.
And maybe this year has taught you that you've got to grab things when you can.
You never know what the future will bring, personally and societally.
So I really...
I advise you to come with us and meet so many wonderful other people.
The banner for the Stand With Israel tour with me is up at DennisPrager.com.
Fundraising month for PragerU, March and August.
This is March.
The joy for me of these months is speaking to PragerForce members.
They're all so impressive.
Isabella Balbuena, high school student in the Dominican Republic.
She's Dominican.
She's a DR person herself.
And you're going to go to a college next year called Case.
Is that right?
Pace?
Oh, you're going to Pace.
Oh, I heard of Pace.
Yeah.
Pace is in New York City, I think.
Yeah, it's in the middle of Manhattan.
Well, I want you to know, watching preview videos in Manhattan will make you much...
Much more, let's say, unpopular than watching them in the Dominican Republic.
Yes, I'm sort of grasping the idea that I'm probably not going to be so popular or liked by my fellow classmates, especially knowing that I'm not a terribly outspoken person.
But we'll see how it goes.
Well, the fact that you know it in advance means that you will be strong, and you will probably change minds.
So I will ask you the question I ask every PragerForce member, and the interesting thing is, for now about three years that I'm doing this, I get a different answer every time.
Do you have a favorite PragerU video, and if you do, what is it?
Yes, I do.
It's Why I Left the Left by David Rubin.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
There was a beep there.
Why what?
Why I Left the Left.
Oh, Dave Rubin.
Yeah.
I don't know if that was chosen before, but that's a great one.
And listen, I just hope we meet one day.
Me too.
I'd like to meet you as well.
Okay.
Well, good luck to you.
Thank you so much.
I mean, can you imagine?
She's going to affect people because, you know, oh, I wonder if she knows that Latino is spelled Latinx in the New York Times, like Kleenex.
We began the show with the absurdity.
Anyway, I bless her.
I bless Isabella.
So help us out.
This is...
We need to triple, quadruple the number of Prager Force members.
13,000 is a lot, and it isn't a lot.
For that matter, a billion views is a lot, and it isn't a lot.
I live with both facts in my mind.
I could see her being a real force.
Isabella.
1-8 Prager 776. So I was reading to you this phony idea, follow the science.
It's phony because they don't follow the science.
They follow the scientists they agree with.
Always remember that.
Here's a good example.
Four scientists, some of whom are epidemiologists.
The title of the piece, USA Today.
CDC misinterpreted our research on opening schools.
Like in so many states, California and Illinois schools are being hamstrung by the CDC guidance.
So are these doctors not following the science?
You understand how understated their attack on Fauci and the whole crowd at CDC is?
The guidance does not take into account the data we have regarding little disease transmission in schools.
If you don't have contempt for the teaching profession, Then there's something wrong with you.
It has been poisoned by cowards and leftists.
Not every teacher is a leftist, but many are cowards.
Not all.
There are gems.
I know some gems who teach.
But the profession has been poisoned.
There is no profession the left is not poisoned.
The rabbinate, the priesthood, everything it touches.
It's a moral cancer.
Why are your kids not in school?
Why are they not in school?
Because teachers' unions are utterly corrupt and don't give a damn about your kids.
Okay?
You know it's true, and yet you won't assimilate the fact that you will continue to send your kids to be taught by people for whom you have contempt.
This is the blob.
Yeah.
The blob was far less noxious.
All right.
I'm going to continue the article.
Keeping schools closed or even partially closed based on what we know now is unwarranted.
This is March 9th.
What is today's date?
March 10th.
So it might be March 10th, because if it's on the internet March 9th, it's probably in today's USA Today.
Keeping schools closed or even partially closed is unwarranted, harming children, and has become a human rights issue.
Children are not at significant risk of poor outcomes from COVID-19.
As of Tuesday, What is today?
Wednesday.
288 children have died from the disease in the U.S. compared with more than 500,000 adults.
Same number of kids who die of flu every year.
There are a lot of suicides.
Thank you, Dr. Fauci.
Trailing now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
Prevailing viewpoint over the last couple of decades is people want to be free.
No, they don't.
They want to be provided, stuffed, and taken care of.
They want to be beneficiaries of a welfare state.
Any glimmer of people wanting to be free is because They either have responsibility, they understand what freedom is, or they have a worldview that mandates them to be active and productive, like the Christian worldview.
Whereas the secular worldview does not require you to be active and productive, instead it would require you to be complaining and sedentary.
Stationary.
Shelby Steele said on our live stream, you might have heard it, that the challenge today is not slavery.
It is freedom.
When God, through Moses, brought the Israelites out of Egypt into the wilderness, they were being fed.
What did they start to do?
They started to complain.
And they said, take us back to Egypt.
There was meat there.
As soon as people have a taste of freedom, most want to go back.
Freedom and liberty can be very dangerous.
Thinking that other people might not be wearing masks?
Yeah, that's right.
You might have to make decisions to adjust to that.
To think that people are not going to be locked down in their homes and then go to restaurants?
Yes.
You might have to make adjustments to that.

Hi, everybody.
I'm Dennis Prager.
I want to continue with this epidemiologist report in the USA Today today on how wrong the disaster of having kept schools closed.
I don't know how you're going to respect your kid's teacher when they finally show up these cowards.
It's a combination of cowardice, leftism, and just deceit.
So even the best are cowards.
Now, there are some who are not, who would teach tomorrow.
They apparently have zero influence in the teaching profession, so it's somewhat irrelevant.

March 8th, J. Bhattacharya, Stanford doctor, calls lockdowns, quote, the biggest public health mistake we've ever made.
Yeah, you could drop public health, correct.
It is not possible for me to overstate the amount of opprobrium, condemnation, mockery, anger, and hatred that I received for saying that last April.
Saying it a year ago.
I think I said it in March.
It's the greatest mistake in human history.
I made clear it wasn't the greatest evil, greatest mistake.
I was right.
And the reason I tell you is not to brag.
I have no problem about saying something good about myself.
As I have no problem in telling you I was wrong about something.
But the reason that I tell you this is...
I have a very high batting average when I make assertions that are hated.
A really high batting average.
So I have a lot of credibility.
And one of the biggest challenges to my credibility was my declaration that the lockdowns were the biggest mistake in modern world history.
And I was right.
It's just a fact.
I was right.
The destruction of societies that are involved here, that's why the left likes it, because they'd like to destroy modern societies and rebuild them in their image.
But it wasn't just the left that did it.
The left welcomed it.
Israel has led the way in lockdowns.
That's run by a conservative right-wing government, unfortunately.

Matt Meyer is president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, a union leading the effort to keep children at home, insisting that reopening schools is just too unsafe.
So jaws dropped when video of him was seen taking his own daughter to in-person preschool.
The episode highlights the hypocrisy and cynicism evident in too much COVID policy, especially in education.
School districts with strong teachers unions are less likely to hold in-person classes.
Meanwhile, our children remain trapped at home, suffering from social isolation and learning loss.
The achievement gap has increased, and there's a worsening youth mental health crisis.
Parents have stood by helplessly at the mercy of the unions, even as the CDC admits that schools can reopen safely.
In-person learning shouldn't be reserved for children of the privileged.
Our kids deserve policies that put their rightful needs over the self-serving demands of union elites.

Because why, Shad?
Well, because it might be tough for the average red-blooded American to go around calling themselves a Neanderthal.
It was easy to take up deplorable.
Because it's got too many syllables?
No, no, no, of course not, of course not.
But it has a stronger connotation, you know?
It's more direct.
It's not...
You're outside of the norm, it's you're stupid.
And that's a totally different ballgame.
But isn't the Neanderthal the alpha of alpha males?

I want to praise Governor Greg Abbott for announcing that he is going to fully open the state of Texas.
He's been a little bit slow to the draw.
He locked down too much back in the spring, but he is doing the right thing.
Brenna has emailed us and it's a great question.
Charlie, Governor Abbott finally stepped up and had the courage to open Texas 100%.
You're right.
He also removed the mask mandate and we can breathe again.
I'm thinking he took notes from Ron DeSantis.
You're right.
So proud of his courage.
However, many people are saying he made the wrong choice.
How can this be?

You have asked the best question of the day.
I'm going to send you a signed copy of the MAGA doctrine because you are pursuing truth.
People don't want to be free.
They want to be taken care of.
Our natural sinful state is not one of liberty.
There's a phenomenal quote at the law school in Harvard that says the law Is the wise restraints that keep men free?
It's a little counterintuitive, isn't it?
that the law, limitations, restraints, is actually what keeps you free.
Politicians created a box canyon with lockdowns last spring that were originally intended to flatten the curve.
It's all we heard, flatten the curve.
Every time governors loosened restrictions and cases ticked up, Democrats would demand lockdowns.
Not that lockdowns or mask mandates much helped California or New York, which experienced bigger surges this winter than Florida did with Neither.
Can I repeat that, please?
Lockdowns or mask mandates didn't help California or New York very much, which experienced bigger surges this winter than Florida did with neither.
Vaccines were supposed to enable Americans more or less to get back to their before-COVID lives.
Youth sports, eating out, family gatherings.
Even going outside, walking outside without a mask.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board says it's probably still prudent to wear masks in public settings indoors for a few more months.
And businesses like Starbucks and Target plan to continue requiring them.
But liberals and their public health friends don't seem to want the pandemic to end.
Ever.
Ever.
Some lockdown advocates are warning that myriad new gene variants may be more infectious, though it's unclear if they are, and could render vaccines less effective.
They also warn that vaccinated individuals might still transmit the virus if they're asymptomatic, though the probability is low.
Ergo, pandemic restrictions must be maintained until we achieve herd immunity, which the experts also say may never happen.
Because of...
Thank you.
This is the male-female hour.
I don't think I've ever mentioned this on the male-female hour.
So, here it goes.
I identify as a male.
There have been a number of emails asking, and I just thought I should just cover all my bases and tell you that.
By the way, this is not the subject, but to give you an idea of the way in which the media have become non-news sources, but propaganda sheets.
Do you know that they all say now the gender assigned at birth instead of the biological sex?
They all say that.
All the media, New York Times, all of them.
Whenever they discuss the issue of the transgendered, they never say biological sex.
They say gender assigned at birth.
Like people flip the coin.
Oh, we'll just say it's a boy.
All right.
Got that off my chest.
And now the subject.
I just want to remind those of you, or tell those of you who are unfamiliar with this hour, it's the most honest hour I know of in the media, about men and women, and my little boilerplate comment.
I am not a man fan, and I am not a woman fan.
I am a good person fan.
So I have zero inclination toward defending either sex.
There are good women and bad women, and good men and bad men.
They're about evenly distributed between the sexes.
The only difference is their badness generally comes out in different ways.
Maybe I'll do my last male-female hour 20 years from now on how the badness comes out from each sex.
Nobody would have a problem by describing the badicity coming from men, but the attacks on me, I don't care.
I mean, I don't avoid things because of attacks.
But to describe women as doing bad is verboten.
Anyway, I have a topic for you today about men and women, specifically with regards to marriage.
It is one of those where I am posing a question and I will have you respond and then I will respond to you.
So get ready to call because I'm not opening up with a theory, which I usually do.
I'm opening up with a question.
If you are married, did you ever seriously consider divorce?
But here's why you should call in.
This is what I need to hear from you.
That alone is not what I'm asking for.
If you have seriously considered divorce, I have two other questions.
Why didn't you divorce?
And here's the kicker.
The punchline.
The coup de grace.
Are you happy or unhappy that you didn't divorce?
I'm very interested in thine responses here.
If you've thought of divorce, you don't qualify.
A lot of couples have thought of divorce.
Whether they have articulated it to their spouse or some friend or not that has gone through.
I wonder what percentage of married people have never thought of divorce.
I have no idea.
It's just an interesting, unanswerable question.
But that's not my question.
My question is, did you...
Or both of you seriously consider divorce?
Why didn't you?
And how do you look back on that decision?
That's why the key is seriously consider divorce.
I mean, if you had marital issues and you overcame them or stayed together and you're happy you did.
That doesn't qualify, and I'm laughing because that's pretty common.
People have an issue, they overcome it, they stay together.
That's not what I'm talking about.
I mean, serious consideration of divorce.
That is the issue here.

By the way, keep them coming.
The one that was made of my motto in life, if nothing's horrific, life is terrific, is...
Right.
Boy, now, that was Russell Kidd.
Thank you.
That, by the way, you've got to admit, you really know that now.
Because just normal.
Do you know, when I see heavy traffic now, I think, oh, is that a beautiful sight?
I complained about traffic all of my life, and now, all of a sudden, no, I'm not sick.
Traffic is now a beautiful thing.
It means people are leading normal lives.
I want people to lead normal lives.
I'm a big fan of normal.
All right, this is the question here.
And, well, all right.
I'm Gary.
I can't take your call because you never considered it.
If you never considered it, please don't call.
That's not the issue.
I'm Gary.
I'm glad things have worked out, but I just have to explain.
That's not the topic, so please call on the topic.
Did you, ideally both of you, ideally for the show, not ideally for your life, consider divorce, and if you didn't, go through with it, because I'm talking to married people now.
Why not, and are you happy you didn't?
All right, so we'll begin with Marissa.
In Los Angeles.
Hello.
Hi, how are you?
I'm well, thank you.
Yeah, we, early on in our marriage, about seven years into our marriage, my husband had an affair.
We were separated for 18 months, and divorce was definitely a consideration.
I had lots of friends telling me.
You know, you need to leave, you need to leave.
And I was like, I don't know.
I never wanted to be a divorced person, and I really wanted to make things work.
But it was definitely there.
His girlfriend would call and chide me.
She would call you?
Yeah, she would call and laugh.
Well, he picked a real beautiful human being.
Hold on with me.
I'm very curious to ask you many questions.

Ten Democrat senators wrote to President Biden this week and said, this crisis is far from over and families deserve certainty that they can put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal points out, they are preparing a giant climate infrastructure spending bill that they say is urgently needed to jolt the economy and save the planet.
The Wall Street Journal concludes by saying this, Behold how the COVID crisis bleeds into a climate crisis.

The book The Cat in the Hat.
Now, to be precise, Six books have been cancelled.
One of them is not The Cat in the Hat.
But that's not the point.
You're fact-checking cartoons?
You're censoring cartoons?
Okay, specifically that particular book was not cancelled.
But six of his books were.
And the point is they're equally innocuous.
I was in kindergarten.
In kindergarten, you sit on the floor and you cross your legs, and we would read, see John Spot, Spot, see John Run, see Spot Dog, see John the Dick and Jane, and they're all these little white kids with pink cheeks.
I never saw a black kid.
I've read studies that when little black girls are handed dolls, one is a black doll and one is a white blonde doll, the little black girl chooses a blonde doll.
I've also heard studies...
That say that study was invalid because the doll was a little different, this, that, and the other.
But every study I've ever seen says that whatever there is, whatever wish you were of another race, if you're a little black girl, it goes away.
To the point now where black girls have higher self-esteem than white girls, by far.
Even though black girls are more likely to be obese than white girls, they're more likely to be proud of their bodies, according to polls.
So whatever alleged damage done to people's psyche at that age, it fades away.
A and B, you're centering a cartoon.

It's the truth.
About $800 a year.
It sounded too good to be true to me.
For $30 a month, you can have unlimited text, unlimited talk, 6 gigabytes of data.
It sounded too good.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't.
It's called Pure Talk.
And not only that, you could also get the new iPhone.
Is it the SE? For $7 a month.
You don't have to.

You want to keep your phone, by the way?
Keep your phone number?
All of that is available.
Just dial on your phone, pound 250, pound 250, and then say, Dennis Prager.

Would my teachers in high school have assumed this would happen?
They would have assumed that if you said my name, it was to offer bail.
Oh, he's in jail?
Pound 250, Dennis Prager, Pure Talk.
Alright, so the question on the table is, if you're married now, did you ever seriously consider divorce?
If so, why didn't you?

Marissa, back to you in L.A. So he had an affair in the beginning of your marriage.
I didn't quite follow.
First of all, how did she have your phone number?
The mistress.
He would work from home, so he worked from home a lot.
So she called the home phone?
Yeah, that was back in the days of landline.
I vaguely remember landlines, yes.
Stationary phone, it would ring.
It sounded like a bell.
It was attached to a cord.
Yeah, everybody kind of knew the same number.
Yeah, everybody knew the same phone.
So you would pick up and she would say what to you?
She would just kind of laugh and say, you know...
I can't even remember what she would really say.
But she would laugh at you that she got your husband and you're losing him?
Pretty much, yeah.
Did you tell him that this is what she would do?
I vaguely remember.
I think I did.
He really didn't care.
The communication was really low by then.
Alright, so why did you stay together?
Oh, you didn't want to get divorced?
You were committed to staying?
So did he apologize for his affair?
He did.
After how long?
I'm sorry?
After how long?
When we got back together.
So it would have been at about 18 months.
We were separated for 18 months.
And what did he then say to you?
It was a really long time ago.
It was along the lines of...
Without the words, just tell me what...
I'll put it more easily answerable.
Did you sense that he was sincerely regretful?
Yes.
Okay.
That matters.
And how was your marriage today?
It's good.
It's not perfect.
But it's good.
You know, the one thing I realized was that perfect doesn't exist.
But good can, and you can make things good.
Do you have children?
Yes, we have six children.
Six children?
How many did you have when he had his affair?
Three.
Right.
I assume that was part of the reason you didn't want a divorce.
That was part of it.
I was raised by a single mom.
You didn't want to repeat that.
I didn't want to have that for my kids, so I fought very hard to make it work.
Well, I salute you.
I do salute you.
It's an interesting question.
Is there a perfect marriage?
Perfect doesn't exist in any realm, so it's not a...
It might be a euphemism for a happy marriage, and there are happy marriages.
There are no perfect marriages because there are no perfect people.
I don't even know what it means to have a perfect marriage.

All right, so that's a very good point.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have written it.
She is, what we shall say, bright.
Married to a very bright human being.
And, however, I have a rejoinder.
She is absolutely right with regards to, let's say, the first six innings.
But if a pitcher is pitching a no-hitter or a perfect game going into the seventh inning, that's more exciting than a home run.
Just for the record.
Nobody says, A, I was at the game.
Where a so-and-so hit a grand slam home run.
But they do say, I was at a no-hitter.
Alright.
There you go, ladies and gentlemen.
Some free thought on baseball during the male-female hour.
Back to Anonymous and Anoka.
The question on the table is, have you ever considered divorce?
If you didn't divorce, why didn't you?
And are you happy or unhappy that you didn't divorce?
This man, who's anonymous, which is fine with me, I don't care, since your names are anonymous in any event, and in Minnesota, and he's seriously considering divorce.
His wife is addicted to meth and lies about it.
So, when you married, how long are you married?
Going on two years.
Oh.
So, were you both previously married?
Yes, we both have been.
Right, so you're 46. Did she have a drug problem when you married?
No.
She did have a previous pill addiction.
She was addicted to opiates because she had hurt her back.
I know, that's terrible, but I don't consider it the same.
That was not done to escape life, but to escape honest pain.
Okay.
So, all right, look, it's not exactly the subject, and I'm not going to tell you what to do.
I mean, first of all, I can't tell you what to do.
You'll decide, not I. But I will just say there is a case to be made in at least threatening a divorce to an addict.
I know a lot about addiction.
And I will tell you, overwhelmingly, the only people who make the staggeringly difficult decision to become sober are people who have hit bottom.
Very few people say, you know, this is really hurting everybody who loves me and is certainly hurting me.
I'm going to stop or I'm going to go into rehab.
You usually have to end up losing everything.
And that prompts you to want to change.
But if your environment is supportive, it's not helpful.
It's counterintuitive.
People think a lot of love and so on.
But it doesn't work that way.
All right, y'all.
Took my relief factor today.
Take it every day.
Taking it every day for years.
Sometimes I stop when there's absolutely no ache, but when I work out, there's usually, which is three times a week, there's usually some residual pain.
It's a miracle supplement, that's all I can tell you.
If you went to relieffactor.com and read the testimonials, you'd be blown away.
And they're not made up.
They're all real.
So what they say is, you'll know in three weeks.
It just takes three weeks to work.
If it doesn't work, say no.
You've only spent $19.95 plus shipping to try it out for three weeks.
That's at relieffactor.com, 800-583-84.

Lockdown thing.
First, the president called Texans Neanderthals yesterday.
What did you make of that?
Yeah, the guy with low cognitive capacity is calling everybody else Neanderthals.
First of all, that's rich.
I also find it rich that he's doing his sanctimonious pearl clutching over a bunch of Texans who, by the way, can still wear masks.
By the reaction of the liberals on this one, you would think that Texas outlawed masks and is now arresting people who even wear a mask.
But the truth is, if you're vaccinated or if you already had it, maybe you don't want to wear a mask and you certainly don't need to.
There's no scientific reason to wear one.
But here's the thing.
So they're very sanctimonious over that, but Biden has no problem letting illegal immigrants over the border in droves, many of which have COVID, and then they give them a bus ticket to wherever they want in the United States.
So the double standard is pretty infuriating here.
So there's a lot in there, Congressman.
First of all, the guy with low cognitive capacity.
That's pretty rich.
That is going to make a couple of headlines, don't you think?
I don't know.
I guarantee a low cognitive...
It gets said so often, I'm not sure that it's a new hot take anymore.
Oh, it's a hot take from you, Congressman.
That's going to be interesting.
Prepare for incoming.
You called us Neandrosov.
I know, I know.
What do you want?
Okay, the second thing is that letting...
That's absolutely true.
And I don't know if Americans know that, that dozens of people detained at the border tested positive and were released.

Because I'm in my backyard, as you know, and I'm I'm sitting in front of a big campfire pit and I've got an American flag behind me.
And it's all part of something that I've been doing for the last month, and it's my own 100-day plan.
You know, the tradition of presidents, as you know, is to roll out their first 100 days and what we're going to do.
And I found that most of my friends are sort of like...
Sitting in a corner, wringing their hands, crying in their Chick-fil-A soup, saying, oh no, everything is going to be unraveled here by somebody with a bad 100-day plan.
And I'm saying, you know what?
Let's get off the defense.
Let's be on the offense.
And why don't we come up with our own 100-day plan?
And so I've got mine.
And I've invited people to join me in my backyard for 100 nights in a row while I build a campfire.
And we're going to sing.
We're going to pray.

Question is, did you ever seriously consider divorce?
If you didn't, do you regret it?
I'm looking at the board here.
Now we're very happy, now we're very happy, now we're very happy, now we're very happy.
Oh, here's an I am not happy now.
But it's overwhelmingly...
Now, please understand, this doesn't tell you a lot.
It tells you something.
But if I did a show, and I have done this, but I haven't done it in maybe a decade.
And that is, if you did divorce, do you regret it?
Almost everybody who called in said, no, I'm much happier now.
It's a good thing I divorced.
So, it's interesting, isn't it?
If I say, if you didn't, are you happy that you didn't?
Yes.
If you did, are you happy that you did?
Yes.
This is a good example of my old saw.
Life is messy.
Look, you should do whatever you can to salvage a marriage, but not more than that.
As I have said on many occasions, the only thing worse than a bad divorce is a bad marriage.
Marriage is a fascinating thing.
It's one of the reasons male-female error is widely listened to.
There is nothing better in life, I think, than a good marriage.
And there's nothing worse.
I mean, it could be tortured.
It could lose a child.
But you understand the gist of my comment.
Nothing worse than a bad marriage.
Okay, so let's go.
I'll take this one.
Louisville, Kentucky.
Samantha, hello.
Oh, hi, Dennis.
So good to talk to you.
Thank you.
Well, I've been married for 10 years.
We have two little girls together.
For the most part, it hasn't been a fulfilling marriage, and I think both of us would say that.
With the shutdown, my husband's office was closed and everything came to a head and I actually did file for divorce.
We were separated for a couple of months and then I decided to get back together and my reasons were Kentucky is a 50-50 custody state now, so the thought of not being around my children for half their life would sound like a form of torture to me.
My homeschool, so I knew if we would divorce, if I went through with it, they would probably have to go to a public school or something because I would have to go back to work.
And lastly, I knew that co-parenting with him, since I know his personality and I know him, at least the unhappiness I feel in my marriage, I know and I'm familiar with and I have coping skills.
But the thought of divorcing and co-parenting with him and how he might treat the girls when I'm not around, I just couldn't bear it, and so here I am.
How old are the girls?
Eight and five, and I am trying to stay married as long as possible because I believe in the nuclear family, and I don't want them to be collateral damage because the two of us can't get our act together.
Have the two of you, is it plural you, tried to get your act together?
Yes, we have seen multiple counselors throughout the 10 years.
And we can try and we're in a good way and then we just can't.
And the lockdown has exacerbated it?
The shutdown, yes, yes.
Everything came to a head because his office was closed.
The governor closed it for seven weeks.
And with him being here all day, all of our issues, it just got nasty.
I'm just curious.
You're married 15 years, right?
10 years, yes.
10 years, sorry.
Was it good for any amount of time?
The first year and a half.
But there were red flags at Hindsight 2020, and I lost my father suddenly when I was seven, and I feel like if I could be my own counselor, I believe I married him subconsciously for he's a good provider, protector, he's responsible, he's bright, he's confident, he's reliable, instead of for love.
Well, just for the record, you did describe a lot of very positive qualities.
And I suspect that a lot of women are thinking, I wish my guy were all of those things.
But if I shared with you some of the bad things, those women would say, oh, well, I don't know about that.
Give me two of the bad things.
He is insistent on having sex every night.
And if I don't, then I have to deal with an argument or, you know, just him being shut down.
That's one.
And he doesn't understand why I wouldn't want to have sex every night.
And I tell him it's because I'm a female and you are a man.
Right.
So what frequency would you be okay with?
Three nights a week, fine.
Well, I would like to speak to him.
A lot of men would give their right testicle.
To have sex three times a week?
Yeah.
That's right.
He chooses to...
He does not care what other couples do.
This is what he wants.
I really would like to speak to him.
All right.
Listen.
All right.
I know why my thing went off the line.
That was a very helpful call to a lot of people.
I'm going to talk about the frequency issue on one of these male-female hours.

Prevailing viewpoint over the last couple decades is people want to be free.
No, they don't.
They want to be provided.
Stuffed and taken care of.
They want to be beneficiaries of a welfare state.
Any glimmer of people wanting to be free is because they either have responsibility, they understand what freedom is, or they have a worldview that mandates them to be active and productive, like the Christian worldview.
Whereas the secular worldview...
Does not require you to be active and productive.
Instead, it would require you to be complaining and sedentary.
Stationary.
Shelby Steele said on our live stream, you might have heard it, that the challenge today is not slavery.
It is freedom.
When God, through Moses, brought the Israelites out of Egypt into the wilderness, they were being fed.
What did they start to do?
They started to complain.
And they said, take us back to Egypt.
There was meat there.
As soon as people have a taste of freedom, most want to go back.
Freedom and liberty can be very dangerous.
Thinking that other people might not be wearing masks?
Yeah, that's right.
You might have to make decisions to adjust to that.
To think that people are not going to be locked down in their homes and then go to restaurants?
Yes, you might have to make adjustments to that.
By the way, do you notice that Greg Abbott did not say you must go to a restaurant next week?

Washington cannot keep passing trillion-dollar spending bills with jobless benefits, food stamps, cash payments, rent subsidies, and other welfare to help unemployed and many gainfully employed Americans.
Forget the mental health toll on people who've been cooped up for a year.
Democrats seem pleased they can use the pandemic to expand the welfare state.
Some are now demanding recurring stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment benefits tied to economic conditions.
Ten Democrat senators wrote to President Biden this week and said, this crisis is far from over and families deserve certainty.

The amount I learn from callers is not measurable.
Insights, experiences, talk radio, when it's diverse, and most of talk radio, is extremely educational.
The people who criticize it probably never listen to it, or listen to one of the two or three crackpots.
Because mostly my colleagues, not just on my network, are not crackpots, but very thoughtful human beings.
But anyway, that was a very important call.
Let me summarize your calls, so don't hang up, please.
The question was, did you ever seriously consider divorce?
And if you didn't, are you happy you didn't?
So listen to this.
This should be instructive.
Larry, Atlanta, Georgia.
Seriously considered and divorced.
Five years later remarried and very happy now.
That's a great subject.
People who've remarried.
CJ in Dallas.
Yes, considered it but didn't do it.
Now so glad.
It's wonderful.
Jen in Strongville, Ohio.
I considered divorce but did not do it.
Now somewhat happy with the choice.
Oh, I would love to have taken that one.
David, Madison, Wisconsin.
Yes, considered divorce.
Ended up not doing it.
We are happy.
Steve, Naples, Florida.
I did consider divorce.
Got the divorce.
And I'm happy now.
Ah, alright.
That's a different subject.
Because I'm asking if you stay together.
But that's what I told you folks.
The people who didn't divorce are calling in to say they're happy they didn't.
The people who did divorce call in to say they're happy they did.
Herbert in LA, yes we did.
We did not divorce.
We are very happy.
Very happy is capitalized by my screener who rarely capitalizes.
And Ruth in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Yes, considering filing, but family giving me a hard time.
Oh, okay, there's another one.
There's a different one.
It's an ambivalent moment, ambiguous moment.
I wish I could talk to everybody all day.
I think a lot of marriages are salvageable, and I think a fair number are not.
But the salvageable ones should be salvaged.
Okay, y'all.

Letting illegals over the border and releasing them, That's absolutely true.
And I don't know if Americans know that, that dozens of people detained at the border tested positive and were released.
Yeah.
You know, it's happening on a daily basis.
You know, look, here's the real problem.
The Democrats want open borders.
They really do.
This is no longer speculation.
I don't think we need to read the tea leaves on their intent and motivation on the border right now.
They want more illegal immigrants coming in because every action they take produces that outcome.
They ripped up the agreements we have with Mexico and with the Northern Triangle countries.
These agreements were saving us.
They've reversed the process that Trump's DHS... Meticulously created to prevent catch and release and to get these asylum hearings done right away.
And they reverted back to the old ways of just releasing everybody.
You know, show up.
It'd be nice if you showed up to your court hearing and your second one and your third one.
This, in all practical reality, produces indefinite stays inside the United States.
An entire new generation of illegal immigrants that are here now.
This is a completely unsustainable model.
Everybody knows it.
We've even got Texas Democrats going on Fox News and saying, look, you have to stop this.
You have to reverse it.
It's harming the communities down here.

So what is that sweatshirt and how can I buy a cop?
How can I buy one?
Well, Eric, I'll just give you one.
You don't need to buy one.
But basically the reason I have this sweatshirt is because so many people have been watching the American Campfire Revival on Facebook Live every night.
It's our 100-day plan.
Really, what I'm trying to do is I want to spread the fires of revival and a love for God and love for our neighbor and love for our country.
And so it's not about me in my backyard.
It's about the people who are watching and wanting them to be able to have tools to get them into conversations with their neighbors and their people at work or at the gym or the grocery store.
And it says, what's your plan?
And it gives people an opportunity to allow people to say, hey, what's your sweatshirt about?
And they can say, well, you need to have a plan, right?
And every president rolls out his 100-day plan to fix the nation or to make it better.
And we're not putting our hopes in a political leader.
We're actually 20,000 people strong, and we have our own plan.
It's all about praying.
It's all about thanking God.

Matt Meyer is president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, a union leading the effort to keep children at home, insisting that reopening schools is just too unsafe.
So jaws dropped when video of him was seen taking his own daughter to in-person preschool.
The episode highlights the hypocrisy and cynicism evident in too much COVID policy, especially in education.
School districts with strong teachers unions are less likely to hold in-person classes.
Meanwhile, our children remain trapped at home, suffering from social isolation and learning loss.
The achievement gap has increased, and there's a worsening youth mental health crisis.
Parents have stood by helplessly at the mercy of the unions, even as the CDC admits that schools can reopen safely.
In-person learning shouldn't be reserved for children of the privileged.
Our kids deserve policies that put their rightful needs over the self-serving demands of union elites.

He was in Oregon.
He reported.
He didn't move.
On the fascists of our time, Antifa.
And if Antifa is not fascist, then my understanding of fascism is completely wrong.
Antifa are fascist thugs.
If you want to drop fascists and just keep thugs, that's fine too.
These are lost souls who express their being lost in violence.
That's what they are.
If you actually met an Antifa person, you would meet a lost soul.
They don't know who they are, so they fill the void with fire and smashing and beating and cursing.

I don't see the source, but anyway.
Fox News, here we go.
Mumford& Sons banjoist Winston Marshall announced he would step away from the popular band.

I gathered it was Mumford& Sons.
You didn't have to tell me that.
I didn't think it was the Minnesota Orchestra.
Mumford& Sons, so here we go.
Oh, now listen to this.
The whole thing is so angering.

Guy endorses a book and loses his livelihood.
You know, had he endorsed a book by a communist, nothing would have happened.
By an avowed communist.
Over the past few days, I've come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed.
That's what he wrote.
It's so sad.
This is the sad part.
This is the Chinese Cultural Revolution in America.
Not only doesn't it work, it's invalid.
What did he do that was wrong?
Andy Ngo wrote a book about thugs called Antifa.
If you can't say that the book is good, then the country has lost its moral...
Bearings, and it has.
It just has.
Half this country is morally blind.
If you can't call Antifa evil, then you do not qualify as a person with a conscience.
Okay?
It's that simple.
Over the past few days, I have come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed.
I've offended not only a lot of people I don't know, but also those closest to me, including my bandmates, and for that I am truly sorry.
Then your bandmates stink.
But he can't come to that conclusion.
People attack you because you like a book that attacks Antifa?
Do you understand the sickness that we've come to in this country?
Everything the left touches, it ruins.
This is another example.
Mumford& Sons is composed of fools.
Gigantic, cowardly fools for getting on this guy.
They couldn't say, hey, he's a great guy.
Whether you like his book or not, we're playing, man.
Nah, you can't do that.
Money uber alas.
I'm taking time away from the band to examine my blind spots, Marshall said in a statement.
For now, please know that I realize how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approvals of hatred and divisive behavior.
Hatred.
Yes, hatred of evil.
Tuesday, that was yesterday, my ultimate issues hour was Bible verses that are the opposite of the left.
And one of the biggest was, those of you who love God must hate evil.
If you don't hate evil, you don't love God.
If you don't hate Antifa, you don't love God.
Alright?
Because, how could you not see?
Well, it's a stupid question.
Masses of people have not seen evil in their time.
You know when they see evil?
When it's over.
Now everybody writes about how evil Ho Chi Minh was.
Now that's common.
You know, he was a Stalinist.
But during his time, people, my generation was chanting, Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh!
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh!
The trick, my friends, is not to see evil from the past.
is to see evil in the present.
I realize how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed Do you understand?
All of these statements from Drew Brees to him, these statements the next day, this is Chinese cultural revolution.
Confessions, that's it.
Confessions, that's what they did.
These are forced confessions of BS. I apologize, as this was not at all my intention.
In a now-deleted tweet that sparked outrage, Marshall congratulated No for writing, quote, unmasked inside Antifa's radical plan to destroy democracy.
Marshall, who had less than 8,000 followers as of Wednesday morning, called the book important and praised the conservative author.
Finally had the time to read your important book, You're a Brave Man, Marshall wrote in the now-deleted tweet.
It appears he has deleted all of his previous tweets too, as only the apology remains on his timeline.
Everybody, this book should sell in the millions.
It has been a bestseller.
It has been a bestseller?
Is Amazon still carrying it?
Amazon doesn't even carry Clarence Thomas' documentary.
Isn't that astonishing?
Andy, no.
Noah spelled N-G-O. This is the way it works now for the left.
You can destroy.
You can loot.
You can arson, commit arson.
You could burn police cars.
You could destroy people's whole livelihoods, destroying their businesses.
And then if you report what they did, you're a hater.
You're divisive.
How's that, eh?
Allow us to destroy, but you may not say we're destroying.
Then you're a hater.
So much for Mumford and Sons.

And the answer to your question is yes, and give her a big, fat hug and a kiss.

Second question, Dr. Strong.
J&J, Johnson& Johnson, I understand, has worked with Merck.
Merck tried to do a vaccine.
They failed.
Johnson& Johnson did.
And Merck is helping them manufacture and distribute the vaccine.
I've never seen two medical companies that are competitors work together like that.
Have you?
No, actually, I was reading about that, and I understand that Merck is opening some of their factories to increase the production of the stuff.
Good for them.
25% of the military, Dr. Strom, is refusing to take the vaccine.
What's your reaction to that?
What should we do about it?
Is that a concern?
That's a huge concern because the more people that are refusing, the more variants we're going to get.
And we're going to keep this thing going and going and going.
I don't really understand why people are refusing.
They have some concerns or fear about the vaccination that are probably unjustified.
You know about the anti-vaxxers.
There will be a time where the workplace will say, look, if you want to work here, you need to be vaccinated because you're going to be affecting your fellow workers.

It's not complicated math.
Not having a mask mandate, not having the state say you have to, you are mandated to wear masks, does not in any way, shape or form prevent an American citizen from wearing a mask if they wish they could wear a level 4 biohazard suit to go shopping for a gallon of milk.
But the state does not require of you to wear a mask.
Because they treat you like an adult.

Prevailing viewpoint over the last couple of decades is people want to be free.
No, they don't.
They want to be provided, stuff, and taken care of.
They want to be beneficiaries of a welfare state.
Any glimmer of people wanting to be free is because they either have responsibility, they understand what freedom is, or they have a worldview that mandates them.
Thank you.
For tweeting out that he liked Andy Knows' book on Antifa is a perfect example of...
There are literally billions of such examples on Earth.
It's an example of an important insight I have been sharing.
If only the evil committed evil, the world would be a good place.
The moral problem on earth is that many good people do evil or allow the evil to do their evil.
That no one in the band would have just said, in the United States of America, you're allowed to tweet out that you're like a book.
I'm going to go ahead and get it.
And our banjoist is a good man.
Why don't you take your hate and shove it?
That the left charges us with hate is one of the most enormous lies that you will ever encounter.
If you say that the destroyers and haters are destroyers and haters, you are declared a destroyer and hater.
That's what happened to him.
But it's another victory for the left.
By the way, I want you to understand the damage done to this banjoist with the band Mumford& Sons.
What's his name here?
Winston Marshall.
You have to understand...
What happens to you when you have to grovel through the world?
You have punctured your soul like you can puncture your lung.
He will never be the same.
He has lost all of his dignity because he knows he's saying a gigantic lie so that the left will leave him alone.
Drew Brees went from loving the flag to, oh, I hear the pain of the flag in people's lives in a day.
He will never be the same.
You pay a terrible price when you tell a gigantic lie to get the lice off of you.
As another big point, you want to give him the mic, please?
This is the living motor.
Sean?
Mic, please.
There's one more big point, which is that by issuing this abject apology, he is feeding the beast.
He is helping the bad guys get stronger.
When you stand up to this monster, you can beat the monster back.
But when you give in to the monster, the monster just gets stronger and then goes on and attacks someone else.
That's right.
No, no.
That's clear.
It's feeding the monster.
That is exactly right.
But people have not pointed out the price the individual pays.
Absolutely correct.
There is no greater humiliation.
If there was a picture of him on the toilet relieving himself, it would be less humiliating than what he has done.
Do you think there's a possibility five years from now that this guy is going to say, oh, I did the right thing.
I'm proud of what I did.
No, it is not possible.
That is exactly correct.
That's right.
But...
When you think you're alone, half the country thinks that the guy is right.
But that half doesn't hate as much as the left half.
So they don't send, thank you for the tweet, thank you for the tweet.
The mob won another victory.
I need, however, to explain to all of you that if you engage in a Mao-like confession, the damage you do to yourself, and I don't say this with any anger.
I say this with deep sympathy.
The damage you do to yourself, the public self-humiliation, As I said, I really, and I only, I never speak in hyperbole.
I may be right, I may be wrong, but I do not exaggerate.
If there was a picture of him with his pants down sitting on a toilet, it would not be one-tenth as humiliating as what he did now.
Right now, nobody has respect for him.
That's the tragedy.
The left has the same contempt that they had yesterday, and people with courage in the country see just another victim who was given in.
Drew Brees gave in.
Drew Brees should have said, I have made my millions.
I'm sorry I have to leave.
What is he, the Titans?
What team is he on, Sean?
He doesn't know either.
Okay.
Anyway, that is one of the great quarterbacks.
And he said that the flag was worth defending and, in fact, had to say, oh, I didn't realize what hurt I would cause by speaking on behalf of the National Anthem and standing.
I'm sorry?
Oh, New Orleans Saints?
Okay.
Okay.
Yep.
Okay.
I think that it actually has a physical...
There's a physical ramification, not just a psychological one.
When you lie to the world about what you really think, there has to be.
There's no action that does not have a reaction.
That is just the way the world...
Functions.
Stifling what you believe for the hordes.
The whole point of the confession is not that you really believe you are wrong.
It is to humiliate you.
The humiliation of people is an art form on the left.
As I said earlier, it's very easy to identify evil later.
The trick is to identify evil while it is happening.

You're fact-checking cartoons?
You're censoring cartoons?
Okay, specifically, that particular book was not canceled.
But six of his books were.
And the point is, they're equally innocuous.
I was in kindergarten.
In kindergarten, you sit on the floor and you cross your legs.
And we would read, see John Spot.
Spot, see John Run.
See Spot Dog.
See John, Dick and Jane.
And they're all these little white kids with pink cheeks.
I never saw a black kid.
I've read studies.
That when little black girls are handed dolls, one is a black doll and one is a white blonde doll, the little black girl chooses a blonde doll.
I've also heard studies that say that study was invalid because the doll was different, this, that, and the other.
But every study I've ever seen says that whatever there is, whatever wish you were of another race, if you're a little black girl, it goes away.
To the point now where black girls have higher self-esteem than white girls, by far.
Even though black girls are more likely to be obese than white girls, they're more likely to be proud of their bodies, according to polls.
So whatever alleged damage done to people's psyche at that age, it fades away.
A and B, you're centering a cartoon?
This cannot stand.
This is absolutely absurd.

Letting illegals over the border and releasing them.
That's absolutely true.
And I don't know if Americans know that, that dozens of people detained at the border tested positive and were released.
Yeah.
You know, it's happening on a daily basis.
You know, look, here's the real problem.
The Democrats want open borders.
They really do.
This is no longer speculation.
I don't think we need to read the tea leaves on their intent and motivation on the border right now.
They want more illegal immigrants coming in because every action they take produces that outcome.
They ripped up the agreements we have with Mexico and with the Northern Triangle countries.
These agreements were saving us.
They've reversed the process that Trump's DHS meticulously created to prevent catch-and-release and to get these asylum hearings done right away.
And they've reverted back to the old ways of just releasing everybody.
You know, show up.
It'd be nice if you showed up.
To your support hearing, your second one, your third one.
This, in all practical reality, produces indefinite stays inside the United States.

There's a fascinating story of a filmmaker making a film, or just made a film, to be precise, on illegal immigration into the United States.
America's forgotten.
And she is herself Sikh Indian.
A well-known film producer, director, Namrata Singh Gujaral.
And I have her on the line here, and if I may, I will call you Namratha.
Is that okay?
Yeah, you said it perfectly.
Thanks for having me, Dennis.
Where do you live, in India or the U.S.? No, I actually live on the hill overlooking your studio, right here in Burbank.
That's funny.
That is funny.
So, I read about your film in the Washington Times.
By the way, is it up at Salem Now?
So people can see it at SalemNow.com.
You can go to SalemNow.com and watch America's Forgotten, I believe, is on the homepage, but they can just do a search on Salem Now.
Right, okay.
So what prompted you to make a film about immigration into America?
So I'm a filmmaker, as you mentioned, Dennis, and I've made a lot of sort of campy Bollywood comedies, if you will.
I'm a two-time cancer survivor, and one of the journeys of my life was to sort of veer away from just comedies and also make meaningful content deeply rooted in human rights and humanitarian issues.
And honestly, when I set out to make this picture, it was started with the idea of sharing the progressive policies on immigration in the United States and to highlight the state of the folks around the world that were going through poverty or persecution.
That would lead them to making horrific tracks to America, which we actually follow the track to America, and it's through several different countries, and it's a horrific track.
And I just wanted to showcase some of these stories, and that's why I started the picture.
That's not how the picture ended, but that's why I started it.
How did the picture end?
The picture ended with, after having been around the world and done the investigation for a year with my crew, I realized that about 9 out of 10 folks that sought refuge or asylum, which are two different things but lead to the same end result, 9 out of 10 cases, Had no poverty or persecution in the background.
And folks were just moving here because they could send more money back home to get a better car.
It's not so they can feed the family back home or get away from someone who's trying to kill them for their beliefs.
It's so they can have a lifestyle upgrade.
Wow.
I didn't even know that.
Yep.
That's...
Had that been reported prior to your film?
It has been reported just from the standpoint of when you look at the statistics and you look at the talk about the asylum seekers, which is the refugees sort of more in the country of origin.
Asylum is more at the border, largely like the southern border.
When you look at the asylum cases...
That are actually approved once they have gone through the vetting process.
We only approve about 14 out of 100 asylum cases.
And this is in a very, by the way, I should say, in a very liberal viewpoint in how these cases are determined.
The numbers closer to them are more around 92 or 93 percent people that come to the border that have absolutely no grounds for asylum.
So it's been reported in statistics, but it's one of those statistics that's sort of buried in the DHS report.
It hasn't been reported in the sense we've reported it, which is more from a human right and a story and a human interest angle, which breaks it down for people in a very easy way.
So that was one of the two revelations to you.
It's very rare.
That's not a revelation to me.
I know that 99% or 98% of the time, this is not a legitimate case of asylum.
But I was not as aware of the economic factor that the people coming illegally are not overwhelmingly just impoverished or on the brink of starvation, but simply...
And I don't even accuse them of anything.
I don't blame them.
In fact, we need to stop them, but I don't blame them.
And I never have.
Right.
I want to share...
All right.
Hold on, because I don't want to stop you in the middle of a thought.

Any glimmer of people wanting to be free is because They either have responsibility, they understand what freedom is, or they have a worldview that mandates them to be active and productive, like the Christian worldview.
Whereas the secular worldview does not require you to be active and productive, instead it would require you to be complaining and sedentary.

I'd have gone in a nanosecond.
Gradually, more and more people are realizing the absurdity of the lockdowns.
Absurdity, I wish they were just absurd.
The utter and total destructiveness of the lockdowns.
Anyway, there's information on the cruise up at DennisPrager.com.
I'm speaking to a filmmaker, Indian-American, that is from India and American, Namrata Singh Gujral.
Namrata has made a new documentary called America's Forgotten.
It's a fascinating story.
Washington Times reported on it big time.
Let me understand something.
When you began this film about illegal immigration into the United States through the southern border, what did you think you were going to make and what changed?
I thought, Dennis, I was going to make a picture that showcased The extreme poverty and persecution in various different parts of the world.
Now I get it, because we already went to the ending.
That's not what you discovered.
Correct.
That overwhelmingly it was not political persecution, and overwhelmingly it was to better their economic state, not just to feed themselves.
The truly poor were not coming.
Next issue.
Right.
There's actually a term, Dennis, that's coined by journalists around the world.
I'm not sure why journalists in the United States don't report it.
There's a term for it, and it's called dollar dreams.
And when you go to various places in the world and you talk to journalists that are on the beat, that cover illegal immigration to the West, Europe, United States, Australia, there are countless articles.
On the pursuit of the dollar green.
So it really has nothing to do with purification of poverty.
It is the pursuit of the dollar green is how they put it.
Okay.
Which, by the way, I just want to say to you, but especially to my audience, I don't blame anybody who tries to get into America illegally.
I blame the left in America for having open borders, but I don't blame anybody for trying to better their lives coming to the freest country of opportunity in the history of the world, especially if they live close by.
Talking about not living close by, I did not know about how many Indians come in illegally.
Did you know that?
I did not.
I was actually very taken aback.
And one of the things when you look at the numbers and we showcase that in the picture, the percentages of Indian Americans, Pakistani Americans, South Asians on the southern border has actually increased dramatically by close to 500% just in the past 10 years.
Since we sort of expanded the H-1B program, and then under President Trump it sort of went down, and now it looks like it's going to be reintroduced into the rest of the world in larger degree.
But I did not know that.
That was one of the surprises of the picture.
Now, how do they get to Mexico?
Do they fly from Delhi or Calcutta?
Or Cochin?
Do they fly to Mexico City?
What do they do?
So, first of all, in the picture, we actually covered journeys not just from South Asia, which is India and Pakistan, but also from Africa and various other parts of the world where people are making these trucks from.
Essentially, you've got coyotes and cartels.
We've heard the words, but we haven't truly dug into it, I guess most of us, which you can watch America's Forgotten and see just how they are literally ruling the southern border of the United States.
But essentially, they've got their sub-agents in all of these countries.
And in the first segment, you talked about the monetary value of coming to the United States.
Put it down for your listeners, if you guys can digest this.
A person coming from India and Pakistan is paying $50,000 to $75,000 per person to come to the U.S. with a coyote.
Someone from Africa is paying $40,000 to $50,000 per person.
Central America, $5,000 to $15,000 per person.
Mexico...
Eight to twelve thousand dollars per person.
We actually have stories in the picture of people from various parts of the world that have paid this money, and people scramble.
I mean, they will sell their ancestral lands to pay these coyotes.
So that's one part of it.
How do they get here?
It's essentially a trek through several different countries.
The first country of choice is Ecuador, because they don't require visas for a lot of these countries.
Once they get to Ecuador, it's pretty much a, they call it the donkey trek.
And it's donking.
They get on donkeys and buses and make their way to the Mexican and United States border.
Your recitation of how much it costs, doesn't that prove these are not people in abject poverty?
Yes, but I wanted to be very, very certain that we were digging all the facts for this movie.
So one of the things that I did...
Once I found out these numbers, because I actually met with some coyotes in different parts of the world that journalists had facilitated for me.
And I then, what I did was with my crew, we actually went to slum areas, some of the largest slums in the world, I think these are, and we talked to the people there.
Not only did they not know what America was, there's some very cute stories in there in terms of what they think about America.
Half of them don't know what America is.
But we asked, I remember one guy, we asked him, do you have $50,000 to pay Coyote to illegally immigrate to the United States?
And he just looked at me, I had tears in my, he was laughing and he said, I don't even have $5, let alone $50,000.
This was a poor man.
Right, so you're reaffirming my point.
Which, at my point, reaffirmed your point.
These are not the abject impoverished that are coming in.
These are people who can afford tens of thousands of dollars to coyotes.
Is that correct?
That is 100% correct.
Okay, fine.
I always try to repeat a point that my guest makes.
That way I know I heard it correctly.
And especially when it is not what you think you knew prior to speaking.
To your guest, her extremely important film, America's Forgotten, is up at SalemNow.com.

The Wall Street Journal says this eternal public health crisis is unsustainable politically and economically.
Washington cannot keep passing trillion-dollar spending bills with jobless benefits, food stamps, cash payments, rent subsidies, and other welfare to help unemployed and many gainfully employed Americans.
Forget the mental health toll on people who've been cooped up for a year.
Democrats seem pleased they can use the pandemic to expand the welfare state.
Some are now demanding recurring stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment benefits tied to economic conditions.
Ten Democrat senators wrote to President Biden this week and said, this crisis is far from over and families deserve certainty that they can put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal points out, they are preparing a giant climate infrastructure spending bill that they say is urgently needed to jolt the economy and save the planet.
The Wall Street Journal concludes by saying this, Behold how the COVID crisis bleeds into a climate crisis.

I've also heard studies...
That say that study was invalid because the doll was different, this, that, and the other.
But every study I've ever seen says that one...
All right.
All right, everybody, final segment here, and I'm absolutely riveted, as you will be by America's Forgotten, her film, that is her film, her documentary on illegal immigration.
The she is Namrata Singh Goudral, and she is...
So how would you be called?
Indian American?
What would be the proper term?
I mean, the term that is, I guess it's Indian American, but really I think we're at a point where we're American, because no other country in the world affects people as we do.
So I would say I'm a very proud American, but yes, in terms of the concept...
No, no, that's great.
You know what?
You gave the best answer you could give me.
No apologies necessary.
I love you for it.
I think that that is a great response.
So I am curious, has...
The mainstream media covered your film at all?
No.
As a matter of fact, I've got friends in mainstream media, and one of them, an industry trade paper, I won't mention the name, he actually texted me when I sent this to him, and he said, this is a great picture.
You know I can't cover it.
I just hate to even...
You know I can't cover it.
And I wrote back and I said, I get it.
I'm silent because I want the...
My listeners, to allow that to sink in.
I just want to make a comment which is not relevant to...
Well, it is relevant, but it's not about your film.
And that is what is most disturbing about America's mainstream media is not that they are left-wing propagandists.
It is that they make themselves out to be truth lovers.
That's the part that is disturbing.
If they would just say, look, we're here to offer a progressive viewpoint in everything we do, I would have great respect for them.
I mean, we certainly admit at talk radio that we're conservative.
Have no compunctions about that.
So, one other thing.
I did not know the role of the cartels in the illegal immigration.
About half a minute.
Could you just briefly tell us that?
Yeah, so the cartels basically are running our southern border.
When you look at the vast open space of the southern border, sometimes people will question and say, well, why is someone paying if they can just walk to the border?
It's because you can't just walk to the border because the cartels control the border.
So the cartels put the subcoyotes down to the level of where I'll leave your listeners with this.
The first Democratic debate where the host asked the nine guests if they would allow health care for illegal immigrants, and everyone, including Mr. Biden, raised his hand.
The day I was shooting with the cartels and the coyotes, they showed that clip to some folks in a village, and they got two buyers at $50,000 per person to come and avail the voucher of benefits in the U.S. Just to get free health care.
Why not?
Well, you've done an important thing here.
Since you live a few miles away, we should have you in studio one day.
I would love that.
Thank you very much.
