	Thank you.
	Well, hello there.
	Well, hello there.
	Hello there, Yinz.
	That's my ode to Pittsburgh.
	Yinz.
	Their version of you all.
	I have so many questions about the virus.
	I'm going to make a list of them.
	What is it exactly that prompted me originally?
	Well, a lot of things, but the one that I still can't get rid of, and it's in my angry file, and I'm not an angry guy.
	Everyone who knows me knows the lighthearted disposition that God or nature gave me.
	But righteous anger is a very beautiful thing.
	If you're angry about people hurting people.
	When they didn't have to, or deliberately, then that's a good anger.
	And I can't get out of my system that in the United States of America in 2020, and maybe still, I don't know, you could not visit your dying friend or relative, even if you wore a mask.
	And then they have the chutzpah.
	Why is it chutzpah?
	Because the assumption is we're very, very pliant and stupid.
	That is the combination that you must have to take them seriously about masks.
	Why could you not wear a mask to visit a person put in solitary confinement?
	People into solitary confinement for nearly a year.
	Maybe a year.
	I don't know.
	Are visits allowed now?
	So let me say to all of you whom I love, I will knock down the hospital door and get arrested in order to visit you.
	That people didn't do that.
	And listen to the, quote, authorities, is not what I expected from Americans.
	What was Jefferson's statement about tyranny?
	If you want to look that up, there's a very famous statement Thomas Jefferson made about tyranny.
	So that's one question.
	If masks wear, why couldn't you visit your mother?
	Here's another one.
	Why would anybody who had COVID get an inoculation?
	Do you have an answer for that, Ellen?
	Do you, my dear listener, do you have an answer?
	Why would anyone who had COVID and has the antibodies would get a vaccine?
	So would this be the first virus in history that one is not immune to after contracting it?
	There's another one.
	Why were schools shut down when we have virtually no transmission leading to anything ever serious between a child of, let's say, eight and an adult, or a child to a child?
	Here's another question.
	Tucker Carlson talked about this last night.
	I've talked about it before, but he filled in more details than I knew.
	Where did they come up with six feet?
	Did you ever wonder that?
	Why not seven or five?
	Where did six feet come from?
	According to Tucker Carlson's researchers, and they're pretty adept at this, it came as a German scientist over a hundred years ago, in the 19th century, speculated, because in that time it really was speculation, that you need two meters of distance for these things not to infect another.
	But there are countries that said three feet.
	Why did we say six feet?
	Because of AOC. Ah!
	Not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
	Abundance of caution.
	I have to say, AOC strikes me as a dangerous acronym.
	Abundance of caution.
	I'm going to say something, and I have to really choose my words carefully, not because I ever patronize you, but because I have to for ethical reasons, I believe.
	I have to watch my words here.
	My instinct when I see people wearing masks, I don't mean, let's say, People with a comorbidity that I'm not aware of or very old people whose immune system is compromised.
	I say nothing about them because they need to feel secure given their condition.
	But for 95% of those walking outdoors with masks, Because I know some wonderful people who do.
	I have to watch my words.
	But my instinct is despair.
	Well, this I don't have to watch.
	My instinct is despair.
	Isn't that the best term?
	That my fellow American is doing something so stupid, but I don't care if people do stupid things.
	I care if they do stupid things that are harmful.
	Do you not realize how harmful masks are to the social fabric of a society?
	How much less people interact?
	It is not normal, and my best argument is my antipathy to the The veil that many Muslim women wear.
	It dehumanizes them.
	So why doesn't this mask dehumanize you?
	There used to be a saying about someone who did something shameful.
	This guy can't show his face around town anymore.
	Show your face.
	That's you.
	It may be fair.
	It may be unfair.
	That is you.
	You're hiding your face for a year for no good reason?
	I see these ads for masks.
	Do you know we all fantasize, and I'm not speaking about the erotic, I'm speaking about Fantasizing other things.
	So we all fantasize something that would just change a lot.
	I have one.
	Here's a fantasy.
	That there were as many ads telling people not to wear masks outside as there were telling them to wear it outside.
	But I'll bet you no billboard company would put it up.
	Right?
	I mean, what if we just quoted from scientific literature, masks outdoors are generally useless?
	Anyway, so there are a lot of questions that I have.
	Okay.
	But what is your answer, folks, to if masks are effective, Why can't you visit your dying relative with a mask on?
	What do you think the answer is to that?
	Or that you should get the vaccine even if you had COVID? Do you know the much healthier way to become immune is through your body developing immunity?
	As a result of contracting the illness.
	I read about this stuff a great deal, half from the beginning.
	That is the way the body, and not just the body, but the society develops immunity.
	And how about children?
	They really need to develop immunity.
	Not necessarily through an RNA vaccine.
	Back in a moment.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berka.
	And I went to the University of Westminster, and funnily enough, I saw it as a hotbed, as a recruiting ground.
	I saw what was going on with groups like Hizbut Tahrir.
	What is this?
	Late 90s?
	What is this?
	Oh, no.
	This is 2004 to 2007. Oh, you are young.
	Okay.
	And what were you reading?
	What were you studying?
	Politics.
	Politics, international relations, a little bit of intelligence studies.
	And it was stunning to me that these kind of more fundamentalist Somali guys would come up to me after lectures and seminars and kind of prop their fingers in my chest and be like, you're not a proper Muslim unless you come to this event or that event or our prayer group or whatever.
	And I just like to go down to the pub.
	No, honestly.
	And it was, remember, this was at university.
	It was pound a pint.
	This was a wonderful time to be alive.
	Quit for a pint of pasta.
	Exactly.
	Right.
	And anyway, they ended up guilt-tripping me to the point where I decided to try and go to one of their Islamic Society events one evening.
	Was this related to his book, Tahrir, or not?
	So I didn't know it at the time, but yes is the answer.
	And as I was walking up the steps into the little Titchfield Street building in London where they would hold their events, these guys came walking down the steps towards me and said, you don't want to go in there.
	We just walked out.
	Just leave.
	Go back to wherever you were going.
	Don't go in there.
	I said, well, what's the problem?
	I promised these guys I'd go and see what it was about.
	I said, they're showing videos of 9-11 and clapping and cheering.
	Wow, in London.
	In London, in the early 2000s.
	And, you know, not so long since 9-11 in that regard.
	And so I did an about, you know, talk about a pivotal moment in your life.
	I did an about face on my heel, turned on my heel.
	And my friend Richard was walking down to the pub.
	He was still at the other end of the road.
	And I went, Richard, Richard.
	He says, what?
	I said, I'm coming down the pub.
	And I've never left.
	That event was so catalytic.
	That event for me was when I realized something was drastically wrong.

	Earlier today, the White House Chief of Staff, Ronald Klain, tweeted out the front page of the New York Times.
	Now, listen, I didn't see this because I don't read the New York Times, but here's the cover of the New York, front page of the New York Times, above the fold.
	Big headline.
	Eric Hansen is going to lose his mind.
	My operations manager is going to flip his lid when he hears this.
	Eric, the headline of the New York Times, President's Goal, July 4th gatherings with close family.
	That's the President's goal.
	And the White House Chief of Staff tweeted, this is what we are working toward.
	Oh, really?
	That's what we are working toward?
	They know we, but you got a mouse in your pocket?
	Because we're doing that.
	Listen, I get vaccinated, I'm done.
	And come arrest me if I'm going to be with my family, I don't know, inside rather than outside.
	Do you have any comprehension how nuts this is?
	What we're working toward?
	And the New York Times.
	There they are.
	They're so proud of themselves over there.
	The old gray lady.
	Here's our headline.
	President's goal.
	Fourth of July gatherings with close family outside.
	Just a few of you now.
	But that's what we're working towards.
	These people are lunatics.

	I'm going to cook it.
	Oh, shit.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	One of my favorite people, actually two of my favorite people, but one of the two is on.
	Phelan McAleer.
	I'm sorry?
	They're both on.
	They're both on?
	And Ann?
	Ah, Ann McAleany.
	These are two of my favorite people on Earth.
	Now, I cannot say anything beyond Earth, but on this planet, I adore these people.
	I discovered them through their magnificent video, which you should still see, about fracking.
	And they have also done a play.
	They did a play which was, I saw, I went to it, is mesmerizing.
	What they do is they don't write a single word themselves.
	They simply take transcripts.
	And in this case, it was of the trial in Missouri.
	Yeah, in Ferguson, exactly.
	And now they have made a new movie with regard.
	Oh, they're making.
	Sorry.
	Making.
	I'll get all the details.
	Making a new movie with regard to Hunter Biden.
	So, Anne and Phelan, tell us about the movie.
	Well, good morning, Dennis.
	Great to be on here.
	Great to hear your voice, and thank you for that lovely introduction.
	Yeah, we're making a movie called My Son Hunter to tell the true story about Hunter Biden and the Biden family and all of their shenanigans.
	And we've just launched the campaign this morning, and people from all over the country are reacting very positively because so many people are very angry that the media suppressed this story, that no one found out what these people have been up to all these years.
	So we're getting a great reaction.
	If the media won't tell this story, if the media won't do their jobs, well, we're going to do it for them.
	Are you aware that it's already being blocked?
	No.
	While we are on the air, I would like you to type in the nameofyourmovie.com MySonHunter.com MySonHunter.com Both Alan and I tried right before you came on and we got a message that this was being blocked.
	I'm trying, but mine might be cashed.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Did you get in?
	This is why we're actually making the movie.
	It's kind of bizarre.
	Okay, I got in.
	Okay, so then you know what?
	It's our, good, thank God.
	It's our Wi-Fi.
	We're in an enclosed Wi-Fi.
	Good, thank God.
	So people go to, again, give them the website.
	So it's mysonhunter.com.
	People can go right now to mysonhunter.com.
	And help us do this.
	As you know, we did something like this before with another untold story, the Gosnell movie.
	And we asked the public to help us, you know, that time.
	And, you know, people really responded, and we're hoping that that'll happen again this time.
	This is an amazing story.
	The details, you cannot make this stuff up.
	You know, the idea that there is a guy out there who, you know, God help him, right, has a drug difficulty, and, you know, no one's saying anything bad.
	You know, stuff happens to people, right?
	But this is a guy who has a drug problem, who got a woman pregnant and abandoned her child.
	A guy who went to rehab and on his way into rehab decided instead to go out and live with a woman, a homeless woman called Bicycles instead of going in.
	A guy who also went to the Navy, got a special dispensation because he was older, got into the Navy on the first day, tested positive for drugs.
	This is a guy who randomly gets money from the Chinese, gets a diamond ring from the Chinese.
	But this is a guy, most specifically, who, when an energy company were trawling the planet, saying, we need a guy on our board, we need the right guy on our board, thought that this was the guy, this was the only guy to fill that job, just being paid $50,000 a month, that that was the only guy.
	After doing a worldwide search, that's the guy you want.
	Now, anybody, any regular person...
	With any kind of regular common sense, smell the rat and they are right.
	The way you described it, of course, it's absurd.
	He was chosen because he was the son of the Vice President of the United States.
	Correct.
	Yeah, but what did the Vice President do for him then?
	You know, what about the prosecutor in the Ukraine?
	So this is a great story.
	I call this...
	Austin Powers meets King Lear with a bit of House of Cards thrown in.
	You know, this is a family drama because Bo was always trying to impress his father.
	But it's also a family.
	Is this a crime family?
	Why did he get $3 million from the mayor of Moscow's wife?
	You know, for what reasons?
	For what purposes?
	Where did it go?
	In an email he says, give 10% to the big guy.
	Is Joe Biden the big guy?
	These are questions the media should have asked.
	If the media did their job, we wouldn't be making this movie.
	The story would be out there.
	By the way, that should be the motto of your movie.
	If the media did its job, we wouldn't have made this movie.
	That's absolutely true.
	It's absolutely true.
	No, it's a good motto.
	And you probably know, I'm sure you've reported, that MRSP, the Media Research Center, did a polling and asked people who voted for Joe Biden, they asked them, You know, did they know this story?
	A massive percentage didn't know this story at all.
	Over 30%, I think, didn't know this story at all.
	And of people who did vote for Joe Biden and were asked about this story, they said 17% said it would have changed their vote.
	I'm not saying that they were going to vote for Trump, but they would have changed their vote.
	This would have had a massive, massive effect, you know, without talking about any other aspect of the election.
	This particular suppression, you know, and they talk about...
	You know, with the last election, they talked about foreign interference.
	Well, there was interference in this last election, and we know what that interference was, and it was Twitter, and it was Facebook, and it was the media ignoring a massive, massive media story.
	Depressing the story.
	During a presidential campaign.
	Well, is that part of your movie, The Silence of the Media?
	Yes.
	I mean, it's a very dramatic...
	I mean, it's reverse all the president's men, you know?
	I mean, you literally have people going around, journalists going around trying to suppress the story.
	I remember where it came out.
	They were landing and attacking other journalists on Twitter for carrying this story.
	They didn't support the New York Post when Twitter locked them out of their account for 17 days.
	for daring to be disrespectful to his majesty and Prince Hunter, you know?
	You know, it's funny.
	I describe Hunter Biden as Prince Harry of the Biden family, you know, in a funny way.
	And on a personal level, you know, he's the spare son.
	Bo was always the golden boy.
	He spent his life trying to live up to this person he could never live up to.
	And it's a family.
	It's a tragedy, but it's a tragedy for America, too, that they didn't know the truth going into an election.
	So how do we help you?
	We don't have a lot of time, and I have a lot of passion for your work.
	How do people help you?
	They can go right now to mysonhunter.com, mysonhunter.com, and just give what you can.
	And we really appreciate your time this morning, Dennis.
	Thank you so much for having us on.
	I will help you whenever I can.
	You're special people.
	This is a special movie.
	It is also up at DennisPrager.com in case you forget.
	We have to make these monkeys.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	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.

	I kind of am obligated to get into this story right now, which is the story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
	So I want to read this tweet here from Ben Means, an expert on the British monarchy.
	A lot of respect for the tradition and all of that.
	A lot of great friends in London and Great Britain.
	It's just not a primary concern of mine.
	And so I want to read from Ben Goldsmith's tweet, which I thought was terrific.
	The narrative being promoted by Meghan, friends of Meghan, and the leftist mainstream media, and everyone else who hates the royal family and British traditions generally, is that the royal couple were driven out of Britain because of snobbery and racism.
	This just isn't true.
	The British tabloid press and the British publicly initially adored the idea that a glamorous star from Suits was marrying into the royal family and got terribly excited by the novelty of their royal wedding in the chapel of Windsor Castle.
	They only started going off Meghan when they realized she was a pushy, ungrateful, entitled, gag-inducingly politically correct Hollywood gold digger who'd just gone And hitched herself up to Britain's favorite cheeky, chappy warrior prince and turned him into an emasculated, humorless husk of his form of self.
	It's actually from James Dellingpole, who I believe writes for Breitbart, amongst other places, and he interviewed me when we were in London for our campus tour.
	Very good guy.
	And so there's a lot of people that are kind of dissecting the interview yesterday.
	There's a lot of people that are going through the entire thing.
	I think just a broader...
	question about this whole saga is are we really now going to blame racism for the alleged oppressed life of Meghan Markle?

	The founding fathers intended for government to be very small and non intrusive.
	Look at Article 1, Section 8. Maybe someday they'll make a movie out of it.
	There are a handful of things the federal government is supposed to do, leaving everything else to the states and to the individuals themselves.
	That was the way this government has been set up.
	And now, if you add a value to mandates, government at all three levels takes half of what the American people make.
	Half.
	And you wonder why growth is slow?
	And how in the world do you expect to close the so-called income gap?
	Hello, my friends. my friends.
	One of my favorite organizations is the Alliance Defending Freedom, ADF. They are working overtime because literally never in American history has freedom been assaulted as it is right now in the United States.
	The land of the free and the home of the brave, the place of the Statue of Liberty, the place where the iconic symbol is the Liberty Bell, is now looked at by France.
	France, the place that gave us the Statue of Liberty, from the highest echelons of France, and these people are socialist democrats, and they have contempt for the ideas coming from America.
	It's a big article in the New York Times.
	I'm surprised they published it.
	Defending Freedom is the Alliance Defending Freedom, and there's a specific issue I want to talk to them about.
	The Them is Matt Sharp in Atlanta, Georgia, and Sherry Laurie in Anchorage, Alaska.
	Is that correct?
	That's correct.
	My friend, is that correct?
	Yes, thanks for having us.
	I got you both right.
	All right, excellent.
	Okay, what's the case that you're working on now, or one of the cases?
	They take cases up to the Supreme Court.
	This is, it's not about a case, this is about a bill before Congress.
	What's the bill?
	So the legislation we're concerned about is the so-called Equality Act that would add gender identity and sexual orientation to our nation's civil rights laws.
	And what we've seen is when states and cities have enacted similar laws, they've had incredibly terrible consequences on religious organizations, on women's sports, and particularly here with Sherry on women's shelters.
	And so Sherry can talk a little bit more about what they do, but we saw what happened when Anchorage, Alaska, passed a city version of the Equality Act and what it meant for Sherry's work with women in the city of Anchorage.
	Okay, what happened, Sherry?
	Well, I'd like to say I'm here in Anchorage, Alaska.
	I am the Executive Director of the Downtown Hope Center, which is an organization, a charitable organization, faith-based, that cares for homeless people in Anchorage.
	We provide meals, laundry, shower services, job skill training, clothing handouts, and we do it to everybody, all men, all women, who need those resources.
	But at night, we have a...
	All-woman shelter, a 50-bed all-woman shelter.
	And these women have come off the streets.
	Many have been trafficked, are either running away from trafficking or still in the throes of going back and forth trying to get out of it.
	They've been abused severely.
	Some of them have been raped.
	They'll show up at our door right after having been raped.
	So these are very, very vulnerable and abused women.
	And so what happened was a couple years ago, A male, identifying as a female, showed up at our door.
	Now, Anchorage has a very similar law.
	It's a local ordinance to the Equality Act, this one particular part of the Equality Act.
	So this male, identifying as a female, showed up at our door.
	He was very drunk.
	He was wounded, a big gash down his face, dressed in a pink nightgown, and wanted to stay in our women's shelter.
	Now, this was in the middle of winter in January.
	Because of his injury, I put him in a cab and paid for it myself and sent him to the hospital for care, but it took quite a while to get him to do that.
	So what happened after that, though, is he chose to file a complaint against us, and then that's where we ended up connecting with ADF, and they were amazing.
	They came alongside us, and really we got to the point in the suit where it was resolved with Anchorage, and the city now Through that suit, realized how important it was really to protect these women at this point.
	So what's the story with that law in Anchorage?
	It's still on the book.
	So nothing's improved there?
	Oh no, not at all.
	So somebody listening who is woke will say, look, it happened once in all this time.
	What's the big deal?
	I believe it has happened in other places, but the big deal is these are women who have suffered rape, sex trafficking, domestic violence.
	And these women, they cannot share these spaces with men.
	I mean, they sleep within three feet of each other on these mats.
	And it completely disregards their rights to privacy, to dignity, to safety.
	They've been traumatized.
	And so we cannot let a male identifying as a female come into the shelter.
	It doesn't matter.
	It could be somebody...
	It doesn't matter what they're dressed like.
	It doesn't matter if they have a beard or not.
	They have, according to the ordinance in Anchorage, the right to have equal access to our shelter.
	All right, hold on there.
	This is really important.
	And you should all go to their website, which I will announce upon return, the Alliance Defending Freedom.
	It's unbelievable what's happening.
	All right.
	Anyway, Nerve Renew is the good news.
	I have asked them to be a sponsor because lifelong tingling in my feet as a result of hereditary neuromas.
	I got inserts in my shoes that were great, helped magnificently, learned about Nerve Renew two years ago.
	After a year, I threw away the inserts.
	If you have this tingling, they have a one-year money-back guarantee After
	four years of Trump, Katie Rogers hails the return, she's a New York Times reporter, of the Washington weekend with this fantastic lead.
	Well, let's rephrase, President Biden did not do anything alarming this weekend.
	If they'd used newsworthy, it would have been neutral, but when they said alarming, they branded themselves.
	Agree or disagree, Molly?
	Oh, it's, I mean, it's not even a question anymore how...
	How corrupt our media are in terms of their full-throated embrace and support of, for instance, Joe Biden and their histrionic negativity toward literally every single thing that Trump or any member of his administration did.
	We used to joke that the media took an eight-year nap during the Obama administration.
	Remember, they claimed there were no scandals.
	Not covering scandals is not the same as not having scandals.
	But our media...
	We clearly love and support every policy proposal put forth by Joe Biden, no matter how radical it is.
	They just don't cover it that way.
	And they do take weekends off.
	They are enjoying this time.
	Their friends and their family members are joining this administration.
	This is good times for the media.
	And the Trump administration really was bad times for them.
	Their friends, their family were out of power.
	Their way of life was threatened.
	And it showed in every single thing.
	They wrote, tweeted, you know, said on TV, and now we're getting the happy, fun time for the media and other elite establishment figures.
	It is so obvious.
	It is so obvious.
	The Manhattan Beltway Media Elite are left wing.

	I looked at the headline the gentleman was calling about.
	This is in Newsweek.
	Evanston is paying reparations of $25,000 to black residents.
	They say that's not enough.
	Now, I said that to the gentleman without even seeing this headline.
	They say that's not enough.
	And this is what we're going to be facing.
	You know, decades ago, a congressman named John Conyers would introduce a bill at the beginning of Congress every two years for reparations.

	I have two lawyers with ADF. I'm sorry?
	One lawyer and one.
	All right, one of you is a lawyer and one of you is not, is that correct?
	That's correct.
	That's right.
	Which one is not?
	I'm not.
	I'm the attorney, and Sherry is one of our clients.
	Oh, I get it.
	That's clearer to me.
	What am I going to say?
	Alright, that was my fault.
	Forgive me.
	Alright.
	It's okay not to be a lawyer, Sherry, by the way.
	I'm not a lawyer either.
	I don't think I'd want to be a lawyer right now.
	When would you want to be?
	What did Shakespeare say?
	First kill all the lawyers?
	I don't know.
	I don't think that's a good idea now, though.
	Yeah, it's in one of Shakespeare's plays.
	But we certainly need them.
	Listen, lawyers, folks.
	We absolutely do.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You need lawyers to make this fight.
	ADF is doing it.
	Before anything else, what is the website people should go to?
	So they can visit adflegal.org backslash Dennis.
	That's adflegal.org backslash Dennis, and so they can learn more about Sherry's case with the Downtown Hope Center in Anchorage or what they can do to help stand against the Equality Act so that what happened to Sherry does not happen to other women's shelters across the country.
	Well, you're taking it on for many reasons, and another one is sports.
	This is the giveaway to the meanness at the heart of the so-called compassion movement on behalf of the transgendered.
	The meanness, the transgendered, the number of people who change sex is extremely small.
	The number of women in athletics is extremely large.
	And they have decided that women's athletics don't matter.
	Have you taken on a case with regard to women's athletics already?
	We've got two of them.
	One of them is representing four incredibly talented female athletes in Connecticut.
	In Connecticut, their policy is a guy, if he identifies as a girl, can start competing on the girls' team.
	What happened was two guys in Connecticut, two biological males, began competing and within just a matter of months, dominating women's track and field, not just in Connecticut, but throughout New England.
	As a result, there was about 60 15 championships that these two males captured, 16 records that had been held by women that these two males took and broke, and about 80 instances where a girl lost a spot on the podium or lost the chance to advance to the next round of competition because two guys in Connecticut were allowed to compete on the female team.
	And that just shows, like you said, it only takes one or two males to completely upend and Well, there's no reason for women's sports if biological men can compete with them.
	I have read so much on the other side.
	They never grapple with, is it fair to the women?
	All they talk about is compassion for the transgender, which is fine.
	I do have compassion for the transgender.
	It can't be fun.
	To be at war with your biology.
	So my heart goes out to these people.
	But I'm not going to wreck the entire sports world of women and their opportunities because of that compassion.
	So how did that case go?
	Well, we're still in the midst of it.
	So we actually had a hearing just a couple weeks ago and waiting to see what the judge does there.
	And then we've also got another one going on in Idaho, where Idaho took steps to protect women's sports.
	Last year they passed a law that simply says biological males, no matter how they identify, can't play on girls' teams.
	They can continue to play on guys' teams.
	They can even play on co-ed teams.
	But to your point, women's sports should be reserved for females.
	And that case is now on appeal to the Ninth Circuit.
	We're involved there, helping the state of Idaho.
	As soon as I heard Idaho, I thought 9th Circuit.
	So what chance do you have there?
	Interestingly, the 9th Circuit has one of the strongest opinions upholding the principle that it is perfectly okay to preserve women's sports for females.
	The 9th Circuit recognized that there are physiological differences, different bone density and muscle strength and all of those things.
	If we allow guys into girls' sports, that's going to be the end of girls' sports as we know it.
	So all we're asking the Ninth Circuit to do is follow their precedent that they've already held on the permissibility of preserving women's sports for females.
	And in the time left, tell us, what is the state of the proposed Democratic Party law on equality?
	So the Equality Act, it's passed the House, which was not unexpected.
	It has passed the House before, and the battle is really going to be in the Senate.
	We know right now that there's still the filibuster, and hopefully that will hold, because as long as it does, I think there's a lot of people and a growing number of people recognizing the harms of the Equality Act to women's sports, to shelters.
	But I think it's going to be very important for us to continue to speak out, to contact senators, and let them know to vote against the Equality Act.
	All right.
	Give us your website one more time.

	- We came out and there are three government websites and my hospital website and I signed up for all of them because I turned 65 two weeks ago and of course the three government websites didn't work.
	The hospital one was out of it and within three days of CVS getting their allocation I got my first dose.
	Because they know how to do vaccines.
	I mean, it was nuts that we opened up new websites, new portals, because CVS knows how to handle medication distribution, as does Rite Aid, as does Walgreen.
	But the idea that you would stand up new websites to do something that's already being done is dumb.
	You got it.
	It is just that simple.
	To me, we had the existing infrastructure.
	And whoever was distributing the flu vaccines, those are the same people that should have been distributing this.
	We made it complicated.
	A lot of people grabbing for that money.
	There's money at each little step, but there's people grabbing the money.
	Do you think we will be around the corner and back to 90% of normal by May?
	I do.
	I absolutely believe that we should be at herd immunity by April or May if our president's team does their job and our governors do their job.
	You know, and I say this because we don't know how many people had the virus already and are immune.
	Is it 80 million or is it 150 million people?
	I bet it's a lot more than we're given credit for.
	And I think we're setting what we vaccinated 90 million people already.
	And we should be able to get 90 more million people vaccinated in the next month.

	I get the clear impression that Biden is not leading the country.
	I believe that he's being led.
	Now, that is common sense observation.
	Most people are thinking the same thing, but I have a radio program.
	I get to say it.
	Biden is not leading the country.
	Now, if he was elected to lead the country and he's not leading the country, whom did we elect to lead the country?
	Or I should say, whom did we not elect to lead the country who is in fact leading the country?
	And how is that not unconstitutional?
	This is related to the piece I wrote on Sunday.
	My Sunday piece deals with the exact question that you're asking, Eric, because it is my impression, as you have seemed to indicate, that Joe Biden is not in charge.
	I'm not even sure if he's in charge of changing his shorts on a daily basis, much less running the country.
	I can answer that for you.
	I don't say that to be...
	He doesn't change him on a daily basis.

	By the way, I want to thank Mark in Palm Harbor, Florida, for the Jefferson quote I was thinking about.
	Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.
	Reminds me of the psalm, Those who love God must hate evil.
	My favorite verse in the Bible.
	I want to know if you hate evil.
	If you hate Trump and you don't hate evil, which is usually the way it works, you can tell almost everything.
	What do you hate is a fantastic question to ask people.
	What or whom?
	Overwhelmingly, the people who hated Trump did not hate evil.
	Hatred is selective, obviously.
	That was the great phrase from Jefferson.
	Kill All the Lawyers comes from Henry VI, Part 2, Act 4, Scene 2. Jack Cade says, I thank you, good people, there shall be no money.

	If the president or the ostensible president is not behaving as the president, the country needs to know, right.
	Is the vice president in charge?
	So it strikes me we have a constitutional crisis.
	I don't know how you get around it.
	So let me give you the best guess that I can kind of piece together.
	All of Capitol Hill is sitting behind a fence with razor wire on top of it.
	Joe Biden is not taking public meetings.
	He is barely having public appearances, and even those are tightly controlled.
	He shows up with note cards in his pocket when he loses his way.
	He pulls the note cards out.
	He can't even read what's on the note cards.
	Kamala Harris is taking all of the heads of state meetings.
	She's making all the phone calls.
	She's the one interacting with other heads of state across the world.
	Barack Obama never left Washington, D.C., unlike other presidents.
	Most presidents leave the Capitol once their time in office is over.
	Susan Rice, who was his most loyal foot soldier of all of the Obama administration officials, she went out on 9-11 of 2012, lied to the entire nation on all the television shows about the Benghazi attack.
	She suffered no wrongdoing for that.
	In fact, she got promoted.
	She left the ambassadorship that she had in the UN, and she came into the White House staff after that event was carried out.
	So you've got someone who's very loyal, who is now Joe Biden's domestic policy chief advisor.
	And my guess is that she's also probably the author or responsible for the authoring of most of the executive orders that the executive branch has issued since he's been in office.
	My hunch is that President Obama is pulling the strings vis-a-vis Susan Rice.

	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.

	I kind of am obligated to get into this story right now, which is the story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
	So I want to read this tweet here from Ben Means, an expert on the British monarchy.
	A lot of respect for the tradition and all of that.
	A lot of great friends in London and Great Britain.
	It's just not a primary concern of mine.
	And so I want to read from Ben Goldsmith's tweet, which I thought was terrific.
	The narrative being promoted by Meghan, friends of Meghan, and the leftist mainstream media and everyone else who hates the royal family and British traditions generally, is that the royal couple were driven out of Britain because of snobbery and racism.
	This just isn't true.
	The British tabloid press and the British publicly initially adored the idea that a glamorous star from Suits was marrying into the royal family and got terribly excited by the novelty of their royal wedding in the chapel of Windsor Castle.
	They only started going off Meghan when they realized she was a pushy, ungrateful, entitled, gag-inducingly politically correct Hollywood gold digger who'd just gone And hitched herself up to Britain's favorite cheeky, chappy warrior prince and turned him into an emasculated, humorless husk of his form of self.
	It's actually from James Dellingpole, who I believe writes for Breitbart, amongst other places.
	And he interviewed me when we were in London for our campus tour.
	Very good guy.
	And so there's a lot of people that are kind of dissecting the interview yesterday.
	There's a lot of people that are going through the entire thing.
	I think just a broader...
	question about this whole saga is are we really now going to blame racism for the alleged oppressed life of Meghan Markle?

	The founding fathers intended for government to be very small and non intrusive.
	Look at Article 1, Section 8. Maybe someday they'll make a movie out of it.
	There are a handful of things the federal government is supposed to do, leaving everything else to the states and to the individuals themselves.
	That was the way this government has been set up.
	And now, if you add a value to mandates, government at all three levels takes half of what the American people make.
	Half.
	And you wonder why growth is slow?
	And how in the world do you expect to close the so-called income gap, wealth gap, with this kind of sluggish growth?
	How?
	It's really, really mind-boggling, the left.
	I remember Andy Stern, the former head of the SEIU union.
	Years ago, he said, well, Europe, as much as we like to make fun of them, they may have higher unemployment, but they have less inequality.
	So it's perfectly okay for people to have fewer jobs, as long as the ones who have jobs don't make a whole lot more than the next guy who has a job.
	Stunning.
	That's how they think.
	You don't believe in systemic racism, you're a bigot, and if you're black, you're an Uncle Tom.

	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager, and the music is for me to announce what is always very, very meaningful to me.
	My entire life I have sought to influence people to the good.
	I wrote that in my diary as a junior in high school.
	I have never been interested in having power, but I do yearn.
	To have influence because I have good ideas.
	I've always felt that I had a moral solution to the cancer of evil.
	In a nutshell, it's the Ten Commandments.
	How's that for a shocker for our secular age?
	And everything around it.
	So when I announce new stations that my show is on, it is very...
	Meaningful to me, and I have two new stations.
	One is in Clarksville, Tennessee, near the Kentucky border.
	Newsy 105.5 and 1400 WNZE. And Lake City, Florida, I think it's fair to say west of Jacksonville.
	96.5 The Jet WJTK. Alright, it is very wonderful.
	So you folks at Newsy 105.5, 1400 WNZ in Tennessee, and 96.5 The Jet, WJPK in Lake City, Florida.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	It's extremely difficult to describe this show because it is literally about everything.
	I used to say everything except poetry, architecture, and gardening.
	I have nothing against either, not either, any one of those three.
	I just know nothing about them.
	I have a deaf ear to most poetry.
	Not all.
	The greatest poetry moves me.
	Amy, you have a recording, by the way, Sean, of when I wrote my own poetry and had you guys decide whether it was me or it was a Nobel Prize winning poet.
	And I faked my two colleagues here.
	That was a very auspicious moment in my life.
	I made up something during the commercial break.
	So if we have it in the archives, maybe we'll play it for you.
	In the meantime, I want you to...
	Oh, this one.
	I wonder if you know about this.
	Five Oregon counties are working to leave Oregon and join Idaho?
	Are you rooting for them, or are you rooting for them?
	Okay.
	Now, that's fascinating.
	I assume it can't be done the entire eastern part of Oregon.
	You know Oregon because your family's there.
	You're there every year.
	I was.
	You were there every year.
	Mom has left us, so it's less...
	No, it's nothing to do with her.
	Huh?
	Nothing to do with her.
	Oh, COVID! Oh!
	Whoops, sorry about that, folks.
	COVID. You know, you and I are essentially unaware of its existence because we have not lived a different life.
	After a year of radical leftists from the American Liberty Report.
	I'm not familiar.
	Are you familiar with that website?
	Me neither.
	After a year of leftist violence and extreme lockdown restrictions, five conservative counties in Oregon will vote whether to join neighboring Idaho.
	The Move Oregon's Border or Greater Idaho movement has exceeded the signatures required to add the measure to the state's upcoming special election.
	The five counties that will be included in the ballot measure are Baker, Grant, Lake, Malheur, and Sherman counties.
	The Washington Times reported in Baker County, organizers far exceeded the 496 signatures required by submitting 746, with the clerk reporting that 630 were accepted.
	The problem is, you know, the populated parts of Oregon are going to vote against it.
	The left wants to control people.
	They don't want you to leave their control.
	They live to control.
	That people who are not leftists do not understand this is one of the great despairing things of life.
	Why would you give people who yearn for power over you power?
	Why?
	It's really...
	Well, I know why.
	Because liberty is not a human yearning.
	Why do we have a liberty bell?
	Why do we have a statue of liberty?
	Why do we say, sweet land of liberty?
	Land of the free.
	Why do we use those phrases?
	Because their value, it's a value.
	It's not an instinct.
	We don't say land of people who breathe.
	Breathing is an instinct.
	Or the land of welfare.
	By the way, you should see my column today.

	There's no money involved.
	And it is about how government squelches the universal human desire to feel important.
	Why do people fear becoming dependent upon others?
	Well, there's the dignity issue, but there's the issue of when I am dependent, I am not important.
	I don't feel important, let's put it that way.
	That is why the welfare state undermines what the left claims to value tremendously, self-esteem.
	How can you have self-esteem when you're dependent upon Big Brother for your livelihood or your meals or your tuition or whatever?
	Making individuals free took God.
	Why do people have slavery in every society we know of in the history of the world?
	Every society we know of had slaves.
	Because people thought slavery was natural.
	Aristotle thought it was natural.
	Do you know that?
	One of the greatest moral thinkers in the history of the world.
	He thought it was natural to have slaves.
	Some people are strong, and other people are born to serve those people.
	The notion that all people should be free is American.
	And that can only happen when the government is small.
	Many things would shock the founders if they returned today.
	There would be the obvious shock of technology, that you could drive yourself in an air-conditioned comfort or heated comfort somewhere while listening to Mozart, who lived at that time.
	Let's see, did he live at that time?
	He was late 18th century.
	We were founded in the late 18th century.
	I guess so.
	If I'm right, they would have been familiar with his music.
	Anyway, that would shock them, but they would realize technology is technology.
	What would really shock them is the size of the government.
	The whole American experiment is that the individual is sacred, and the state is to only serve the individual.
	And get out of his way.
	The left-wing motto is take care of me.
	The right-wing motto is leave me alone.
	That's a good one.
	That's one to remember.

	And also, concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born.
	That was relayed to me from Harry.
	Those were conversations that family had with him.
	If he were too brown, that that would be a problem?
	Are you saying that?
	I wasn't able to follow up with why, but if that's the assumption you're making, I think that feels like a pretty safe one.
	Feels.
	Feels like a safe one.

	Remember, they claimed there were no scandals.
	Not covering scandals is not the same as not having scandals.

	Are you familiar with that as a movie man?
	It must be the Berlin Film Festival.
	Just made an innovation by doing just that.
	Becoming the first major international film festival, there you go, to go gender neutral with those prizes.
	For the first time since the Silver Bears for Best Actor and Best Actress were inaugurated in 1956, there were no longer the relevant categories.
	Instead, the six-strong jury was asked to consider the best lead performance overall and separately to judge the best one in a supporting.
	It might have looked awfully convenient while making less of a statement if this division of honors had still managed to fall to one male and one female winner, but this wasn't the case.
	Maren Eggert won in the leading category as the heroine of I'm Your Man, co-starring Dan Stevens as a robot boyfriend, while 20-year-old Lila Kislinger Took the supporting prize as a furious teenager in the Hungarian drama Forest, I See You Everywhere.
	Speaking at Venice last year when Berlin's move was reported, Tilda Swinton expressed approval and said it was, quote, inevitable, unquote, that the industry would be adopting similar practices from now on.
	Potential beneficiaries of gender-neutral awards include the growing category of artists who define as non-binary or gender-fluid.
	Are you aware of that?
	Among them, the likes of Cara Delevingne.
	Is that how you pronounce her name?
	Asia Kate Dillon.
	Or Asia, I should say, probably.
	Asia Kate Dillon.
	Ruby Rose.
	Janelle Monae, Ezra Miller, and Amandla Stenberg.
	Interesting that all but one are female.
	The confusion among females is much more prominent.
	That was Abigail Schreier's book about young women in particular who sort of wake up one day and think that they're a boy.
	are female but gender fluid.
	They're not male and they're not female.
	At a stroke, that approach removes the potential embarrassment of pushing anyone into a gender box they don't wish to inhabit and could enable performers across the whole gender spectrum to have their work taken just as seriously as actors who define as male or female.
	I thought the telegraph was not on the left, but this is written entirely from a supportive position of gender neutrality.
	By the way, isn't it interesting that according to the left, you can change your sex, or your gender as they prefer, but you cannot change your sexual orientation.
	Why is one which has biological bases and the other which we still don't know the biological bases of homosexuality?
	I'm not saying that it can be changed in all cases.
	I don't believe that.
	I think conservatives who say that sound foolish.
	But it is an interesting thing.
	Sex, which is set by biology, that can be changed at will.
	But sexual orientation can never be changed.
	And any attempt to do so is condemned.
	Whatever breeds chaos is good.
	I mentioned in passing two girls in Indiana, Carmel, Indiana, 11 and 9, two sisters, spotted a men, was from Fox, L.A., spotted a men working sign posted near a construction site a few weeks ago in Carmel,
	Prompted them along with their mother to write a letter to town leaders asking why the sign was posted when plenty of women also work in the field.
	It's interesting though that girls 9 and 11 Fifty years ago, if there were even women working as well, it wouldn't have bothered girls.
	They're taught to be bothered.
	The left teaches you what to be preoccupied with.
	Systemic racism, transphobia, carbon emissions.
	You are taught what to be preoccupied with.
	But never evil.
	You're not to be preoccupied with evil.
	That is why at a very, very young age, I knew I was not a leftist.
	I was certain I was a liberal, but I was also certain I was not a leftist because the left never hated evil.
	And the giveaway in my lifetime, let's put it that way, in my lifetime, they didn't hate evil.
	If you don't hate communism, you're morally bankrupt.
	So, this is what the girls are taught.
	By the way, do you wonder if there's a father in their life?
	The mother joined them.
	You know how often there's no mention of a father?
	Why didn't the father join in the letter?
	I would love to know the answer to that question.
	We shall return. We shall return.
	Here's Gavin Newsom standing in front of an empty Dodgers stadium.
	This is an unbelievable sight.
	Because of him, Dodger Stadium will probably stay open.
	And according to the embattled governor of California, even when the pandemic is over, it isn't going to be over because it's never over.
	We're never going to have normal again.
	I give you the governor of the state of California.
	You know, when this pandemic ends, and it will end soon, we're not going to go back to normal.
	Because I think we all agree, normal was never good enough.
	And a normal accepts inequity.
	That's why Latinos are dying from COVID at a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group.
	And while essential workers' wages aren't enough for them to afford the essentials.
	And why mothers...
	Mothers have been leaving the workforce in staggering numbers.
	Look, our eyes are wide open to what's wrong.
	And so our journey back must also be a path to close those inequities.
	There is no economic recovery, no economic recovery without economic justice.
	Latinos are dying from COVID more than any other ethnic group.
	Thank you.
	Because of inequity?
	Really?
	What, COVID is racist?
	A virus knows that I'm going to infect a Latino and kill a Latino more than a white guy?
	Uh, got it.

	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show. - If the president or the ostensible president is not behaving as the president, the country needs to know, is the vice president in charge?
	So it strikes me we have a constitutional crisis.
	I don't know how you get around it.
	So let me give you the best guess that I can kind of piece together.
	All of Capitol Hill is sitting behind a fence with razor wire on top of it.
	Joe Biden is not taking public meetings.
	He is barely having public appearances and even those are tightly controlled.
	He shows up with note cards in his pocket when he loses his way.
	He pulls the note cards out.
	He can't even read what's on the note cards.
	Kamala Harris is taking all of the heads of state meetings.
	She's making all the phone calls.
	She's the one interacting with other heads of state across the world.
	Barack Obama never left Washington, D.C. Unlike other presidents, most presidents leave the Capitol once their time in office is over.
	Susan Rice, who was his most loyal foot soldier of all of the Obama administration officials, she went out on 9-11 of 2012, lied to the entire nation on all the television shows about the Benghazi attack.
	She suffered no wrongdoing for that.
	In fact, she got promoted.
	She left the ambassadorship that she had in the UN and she came into the White House staff after that event was carried out.
	So you've got someone who's very loyal who is now Joe Biden's domestic policy chief advisor.
	And my guess is that she's also probably the author or responsible for the authoring of most of the executive orders that the executive branch has issued since he's been in office.
	My hunch is that President Obama is pulling the strings vis-a-vis Susan Rice.

	During fundraising months for PragerU, almost every day I speak to a PragerForce member.
	That is the high school and college age institution or membership program of PragerU.
	There are 13,000 members all over the world.
	And today I am speaking.
	With Prager 4 student Grayson Kemble at Texas Tech.
	He's in Lubbock.
	Grayson, welcome to my show.
	Hello, Mr. Prager.
	Pleasure to meet you.
	We've never met, correct?
	No, sir.
	No, sir.
	How long have you been in Prager 4?
	Almost a year.
	Coming up on a year in July.
	What year are you in at Texas Tech?
	I am, in my junior year, almost done.
	Did you have any in-person classes?
	I, so far, have had absolutely none, which has been a struggle, to say the least.
	It's been a struggle based on an irrationality.
	But I won't get diverted as much as I want to be.
	Do you pay a tuition to Texas Tech?
	Luckily, no.
	My parents and I are lucky enough that I have some scholarships and they've kind of helped me out.
	So I pay the base tuition, but I haven't taken out a loan or anything there to go to school, which I'm grateful for.
	If I may ask, what is the base tuition?
	If I'm correct, I think it's $25,000 or thereabouts per year.
	So your family did pay $25,000 this year?
	Not exactly.
	Texas has a program where you could have paid, I think it was in 2001, was the program.
	Basically, they capped the price for my family, if you signed up for the program, at whatever in-state tuition was that year my parents paid in to the program.
	So we indirectly paid tuition, yes.
	Well, the only reason I'm asking is to know if any university lowered its fees because of no classes.
	So, as far as I know, that has not happened.
	And in fact, some of the classes that I signed up for were supposed to be in person and got last minute changed online.
	And I was actually charged an extra fee to take the online classes.
	Thou justeth.
	You're not kidding me.
	You're not pulling my leg.
	No, sir.
	No, sir.
	Not when I had to stay out of pocket.
	You were charged extra not to show up.
	Oh, my God.
	What colleges get away with.
	Do you have any idea why at the last minute they did cancel it?
	The best I could say is that the professors chose to not have it in person.
	Having spoken to some of my friends who are TAs for professors, it was kind of some of the classes that had larger audiences were going to already be online.
	And then for smaller courses like the ones I'm in, in upper level, would be up to the professor to choose how they wanted to hold their course.
	Did any professors have students come in?
	We have...
	I know for a fact that we do have in-person classes.
	Most of them, however, are freshman level because they wanted the freshmen to get that college experience, as it said.
	So they are there.
	It's just slim pickings, as we say, down in the South.
	So where have you been all year?
	At your parents?
	No, I have an apartment in the city of my college, so I have an apartment here.
	Are you sharing it with anyone?
	No, unfortunately not.
	It's just me.
	So, were you in effect in solitary confinement for a year?
	Luckily not.
	I have great friends that live here, so we all kind of hung out the entire summer.
	When you hung out, did you wear masks?
	Oh, absolutely not.
	Absolutely not.
	Alright, then you should stay in Prager for us.
	That was a test question.
	If when his friends came over, they wore masks, I would ask him if he understands what he joined.
	A rational, reason-loving, liberty-loving organization called PragerU.
	All right, y'all.
	I'm speaking to...
	A member of Prager Force, he's a Texas Tech, Grayson Campbell.
	They all sound, you know what, among the things that I have been consistently impressed with with regard to Prager Force members is their maturity and their humor.
	Right?
	I mean, they're essentially healthy.
	More on that when we come back.

	I kind of am obligated to get into this story right now, which is the story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
	So I want to read this tweet here from Ben Means, an expert on the British monarchy.
	A lot of respect for the tradition and all of that.
	A lot of great friends in London and Great Britain.
	She's not a primary concern of mine.
	And so I want to read from Ben Goldsmith's tweet, which I thought was terrific.
	The narrative being promoted by Meghan, friends of Meghan, and the leftist mainstream media and everyone else who hates the royal family and British traditions generally, is that the royal couple were driven out of Britain because of snobbery and racism.
	This just isn't true.
	The British tabloid press and the British publicly initially adored the idea that a glamorous star from Suits was marrying into the royal family and got terribly excited by the novelty of their royal wedding in the chapel of Windsor Castle.
	They only started going off Meghan when they realized she was a pushy, ungrateful, entitled, gag-inducingly politically correct Hollywood gold digger who'd just gone And hitched herself up to Britain's favorite cheeky, chappy warrior prince and turned him into an emasculated, humorless husk of his form.
	It's actually from James Dellingpole, who I believe writes for Breitbart, amongst other places.
	And he interviewed me when we were in London for our campus, too.
	A very good guy.
	- And so there's a lot of people that are kind of dissecting the interview yesterday. - Hi everybody, Dennis Prager Dennis Prager here.
	During PragerU Fundraising Month, once a day I talk to, almost every day, not every day, but almost every day of the month, I talk to a PragerForce member, 13,000 strong, high school and college students around the world.
	Today, the individual is Grayson Kemble.
	He's a Texas Tech.
	He's in Lubbock, Texas.
	At Texas Tech, do you have to fill out a form with your preferred pronoun?
	I haven't been to the orientation in a while, but I believe you do, actually.
	Yes.
	For those who are not woke or who do not have a kid at college or who don't listen to the show regularly, Preferred pronoun is where you announce at the beginning of your work life or your student life how you wish to be referred to as either he or she or they or ze.
	I didn't make any of that up.
	Or something else.
	So, out of curiosity, what is your preferred pronoun?
	Well, you know...
	He, him, his works pretty well.
	But every now and then I like to be addressed as Your Majesty just to boost my ego a little bit.
	I told you folks, they're characters.
	It's like we track characters.
	I resonate to that.
	That is fine.
	So His Majesty, I have another question for you.
	Is there a Her Majesty in your life?
	Not officially yet.
	What the hell does not officially mean?
	How do you have an official girlfriend?
	See, I've been in this struggle before where I thought everything was well figured out.
	You know, we had been on a few dates and everyone assumed we were a couple.
	But then I get the conversation of, am I actually your girlfriend?
	And apparently, if you don't actively ask to eat, The question, will you be my girlfriend, then it is not, as the kids are saying these days, official.
	So you have not asked your girlfriend to be your girlfriend yet?
	Not in that way.
	We're in separate cities right now, so it's just kind of a, we don't have the time every day to spend together.
	If that were not the case, then yes, there would be a Her Majesty in my life.
	Is she conservative?
	Yes, sir.
	She's a PragerForce member as well via me.
	She can thank me for that.
	You're the man.
	Hey.
	You're cool, man.
	I have my favorite question.
	Oh, they were all my favorite.
	I loved asking them.
	But my favorite from a PragerU standpoint is, what is your favorite PragerU video?
	Before you answer, I just want you to know.
	In three years, I have not gotten the same answer twice.
	It is astonishing to me, and I'm thrilled about it.
	So, drumroll, what is your favorite PragerU video?
	My favorite one is, without a doubt, Ali Stuckey's Make Men Masculine Again.
	I don't think we had a vote on that.
	That's amazing.
	I may end up with 450 PragerU answers.
	Ali, isn't that great?
	Yes, make men masculine again.
	You radiate masculinity.
	That's a big compliment for me.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	No wonder Her Majesty wants to be your girlfriend.
	Maybe we have to speak to her, too.
	I gotta get her version of the events.
	I'm sure she would love to detail the story to you.
	In a nutshell, What appeals to you about PragerU?
	Because this is fundraising month.
	So, what appeals to me the most is PragerU speaks to fundamental truths and just lays them out as foundational principles and then addresses the issues of the day, whether it be cultural, political, or even religious, with the framework that there is that fundamental truth out there.
	Off which we base all of our decisions and choices and morals.
	And I think right now especially, and I speak from experience, those traditional and fundamental moral principles that exist without us choosing them, like we don't make those, we discover them because they exist beyond us, they exist within God ultimately.
	That value that PragerU stands for is something that I think is starved in this generation.
	And when I tell kids about what PragerU does, that's probably the value that I love to tell them about the most, and that's what really resonates with me.
	Wow.
	We have to meet one day.
	Hopefully I can come back out to L.A. soon.
	Yes, there might be a lacuna in your life, though.
	Do you smoke cigars?
	Not yet.
	I have yet to smoke my first cigar, so I would be happy to try it with the man himself.
	You're good.
	What am I going to say, folks?
	I'm telling you, the highlight of the month of March and August is speaking to these Prager Forest people.
	Nothing's rehearsed.
	I don't know them.
	I mean, they know me.
	They love me, but we've never met.
	They don't know what I'm going to ask.
	In fact, I don't know what I'm going to ask.
	Listen to what is out there.
	Don't despair.
	Fight.
	That's the good one.
	That's another good line.
	Don't despair.
	Fight.
	And help us to fight.
	PragerU.com 833 PragerU.
	We thank you because you made PragerU possible.
	The listeners to this show were the first donors.
	To PragerU.
	Had you not responded, there would not be such a thing.
	Yeah.
	I'm telling you.
	You know what I wanted to say to the guy?
	in case you're interested I'd like to adopt you he was great Thank you.
	See, my sense is that if he saw a men working sign in Carmel, Indiana, he would not write a letter to the authorities.
	Well, there are women, too.
	I think he has his head screwed on right.
	He knows what to allow bother him.
	Thank you.

	Dale in Detroit has a question.
	Do you think the left is deliberately malicious or just wants power to do good?
	Actually, that's the subject.
	The reason I'm not discussing it with you, Dale, is that's the subject of the Ultimate Issues Hour coming up.
	How people want to believe they are moral no matter what they do.
	It's a fascinating, very troubling aspect of life, and that's why we have to have non-subjective laws of decency.
	Talking about decency, you see the Grammys Entertainment, which was basically a pure, raw sex, and I have libertarian views on...
	These matters.
	If it's, for example, a striptease place, I don't think it should be closed down.
	People should be allowed behind closed doors, adults, to see it.
	But on national television, there's the Grammys entertainment.
	But here's a thought that occurred to me.
	The people who put on this raunchy scene for the Grammys also think cheerleaders is sexist.
	Cheerleaders are so innocent compared to what they put on at the Grammys.
	It's really mind-boggling.
	The confused world of the left gave you that scene, and now what they're having, I don't know if every football team, I know the Redskins were no longer the Redskins, they caved in on that trivia.
	And they've caved in on the anti-cheerleader.
	I have thoughts on that.
	I had a cheerleader on.
	And they're going to have now a co-ed dance team.
	Isn't that exciting?

	And I went to the University of Westminster and, funnily enough, I saw it as a hotbed, as a recruiting ground.
	I saw what was going on with groups like Hizbut Tahrir.
	What is this?
	Late 90s?
	What is this?
	Oh, no.
	This is 2004 to 2007. Oh, you are young.
	Okay.
	And what were you reading?
	What were you studying?
	Politics.
	Politics, international relations, a little bit of intelligence studies.
	And it was stunning to me that these kind of more fundamentalist Somali guys would come up to me after lectures and seminars and kind of prop their fingers in my chest and be like, you're not a proper Muslim unless you come to this event or that event or our prayer group or whatever.
	And I just like to go down to the pub.
	No, honestly.
	And it was, remember, this was at university.
	It was pound a pint.
	This was a wonderful time to be alive.
	Quid for a pint of fosters.
	Exactly.
	And anyway, they ended up guilt-tripping me to the point where I decided to try and go to one of their Islamic Society events one evening.
	Was this related to his book, Tahrir, or not?
	So I didn't know it at the time, but yes is the answer.
	And as I was walking up the steps into the little Titchfield Street building in London where they would hold their events, these guys came walking down the steps towards me and said, you don't want to go in there.
	We just walked out.
	Just leave.
	Go back to wherever you were going.
	Don't go in there.
	I said, well, what's the problem?
	I promised these guys I'd go and see what it was about.
	I said, they're showing videos of 9-11 and clapping and cheering.
	Wow, in London.
	In London, in the early 2000s.
	And, you know, not so long since 9-11 in that regard.
	And so I did an about, you know, talk about a pivotal moment in your life.
	I did an about face on my heel, turned on my heel, and my friend Richard was walking down to the pub.
	He was still at the other end of the road.
	And I went, Richard, Richard!
	He says, what?
	I said, I'm coming down the pub!
	And I've never left.
	That event was so catalytic.
	That event for me was when I realized something was drastically wrong.

	I mean, it was nuts that we opened up new websites, new portals, because CVS knows how to handle medication distribution, as does Rite Aid, as does Walgreens.
	But the idea that you would stand up new websites to do something that's already being done is dumb.
	You got it.

	You know, and I say this because we don't know how many people have had the virus already and are immune.
	Is it 80 million or is it 150 million people?
	I bet it's a lot more than we're given credit for.
	And I think we're setting what we vaccinated 90 million people already.

	I get the clear impression that Biden is not leading the country.
	I believe that he's being led.
	Now, that is common sense observation.
	Most people are thinking the same thing, but I have a radio program.
	I get to say it.
	Biden is not leading the country.
	Now, if he was elected to lead the country and he's not leading the country, whom did we elect to lead the country?
	Or I should say, whom did we not elect to lead the country who is in fact leading the country?
	And how is that not unconstitutional?
	This is related to the piece I wrote on Sunday.
	My Sunday piece deals with the exact question that you're asking, Eric, because it is my impression, as you have seemed to indicate, that Joe Biden is not in charge.
	I'm not even sure if he's in charge of changing his shorts on a daily basis, much less running the country.
	I can answer that for you.
	I don't say that to be...
	He doesn't change him on a daily basis, but go ahead.
	I'm not saying that to be...
	You know, damaging towards him.

	My comparison between knowledge and wisdom, this is a wisdom hour, my comparison is maps have 100% knowledge.
	Zero percent wisdom.
	A map tells you exactly where you are, but it doesn't tell you where you need to go.
	Where you need to go is the ultimate issue.
	Where you are is a knowledge issue.
	I'm going to talk to you today about What I've discovered over the course of a lifetime is apparently a...
	I was going to say a universal need, but I'm not sure if it's universal.
	I think it largely emanates from the West.
	But I haven't been able to prove that to myself.
	So we'll leave that aside.
	And it's not restricted to the West any longer because Western ideas have gone around the world.
	But here it is.
	Humans apparently need to feel moral.
	When you realize this, you realize how big a deal this is.
	I'd like you to name an evil.
	An institutional, organized, governmental evil.
	An ideological evil.
	How's that?
	That said it was evil.
	You can't.
	Not Nazis, not communists, not racists.
	I mean real racists.
	Actual ones that once existed.
	There were very few left.
	Tell me any evil that ever said we love doing evil.
	Do you know that in the starkest form of evil, the Nazis, Which I think everyone is morally compelled to read a book on the Holocaust.
	You might want to read Martin Gilbert's if you read one.
	There's many, very many good ones.
	Sir Martin Gilbert, the Churchill biographer, wrote one.
	He's very accessible, very knowledgeable.
	He's passed away.
	I had him on the show, actually.
	I knew him.
	him.
	He's one of the finest people I ever knew.
	And anyway, even that, the taking of babies and murdering them was the taking of babies and murdering them was all done in the name of some moral cause.
	There was a huge campaign of the vilification of Jews in Germany.
	Which lasted for almost all of the 1930s.
	Hitler came to power in 33. Holocaust didn't begin in full swing until about 40, 41. And it was all done in order to justify Ultimately justify persecution and then murder of Jews.
	Name, really, I want you to name for me an evil that did not present itself as moral, as good.
	I met the living martyr.
	By the way, you can start calling.
	1-8 Prager-776-877-243-776.
	I met the living martyr in 1993. What?
	1991. Wow.
	Our 30th anniversary.
	Hard to believe, isn't it?
	If when we met, I'd have said to you, you know, in 30 years we'll be working together.
	Nobody can even imagine 30 years in the future.
	30 years in the past is unbelievably easy to imagine.
	It's this very strange thing time.
	We met to write a script together for a fantastic, truly fantastic video that's out there for free called For Goodness Sake.
	You should all watch it.
	You should especially have your kids watch it.
	It's a series of extremely funny vignettes.
	It was directed by David Zucker of airplane fame and the naked gun fame.
	He was somewhat of a genius in humor.
	So he directed it.
	It was extremely funny.
	It was extremely well written.
	We wrote it.
	And there's a scene in it of a guy.
	Getting out of bed, he was a great actor, I love this guy.
	And saying, ah, another day, another chance to do evil.
	Nobody does that.
	Even the people who did evil didn't wake up thinking, oh, I'm doing evil.
	My dear listeners, you cannot imagine You cannot measure how important this point is.
	Everybody wants to think they're moral.
	That's the beginning of it.
	Yeah, that's not the scene.
	But yes, he found it.
	Yeah, so we can hold it there.
	Oh, well, you know what?
	He's right, Sean.
	This established how everybody thinks they're good.
	I'm sorry.
	Play it again.
	This is the beginning of For Goodness Sake, or one of the scenes.
	Oh, no, this is where they're saying, oh, it's not good.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	Wait, so we have, I asked them, are you good?
	Yeah, so didn't we go around asking people, yeah, that's the scene we want, or the scene of the guy getting out of bed, where I asked people, are you good, and everybody said yes. where I asked people, are you good, and everybody said Are you basically good?
	Everybody thinks they're good.
	So all of you have to face a very serious issue.
	If everybody or nearly everybody thinks they're good slash moral, how come there's so much evil?
	Oh.
	Right.
	He, he.
	Okay, there you go.
	People do.
	That's right.
	So, if everybody thinks they're basically good, why is there so much evil in the world?
	Nazis thought they were good.
	Communists thought they were good.
	Slaveholders thought they were good.
	Who didn't think that they were good?
	So, given how important that is, let's establish something.
	Your feelings about the matter and my feelings about the matter don't mean a damn thing.
	We are living in the age of feelings, and one of the terrible consequences is we measure our goodness by how we feel about ourselves.
	Sort of like gender.
	We choose.

	If the president or the ostensible president is not behaving as the president, The country needs to know.
	Is the vice president in charge?
	So it strikes me we have a constitutional crisis.
	I don't know how you get around it.
	So let me give you the best guess that I can kind of piece together.
	All of Capitol Hill is sitting behind a fence with razor wire on top of it.
	Joe Biden is not taking public meetings.
	He is barely having public appearances and even those are tightly controlled.
	He shows up with note cards in his pocket when he loses his way.
	He pulls the note cards out.
	He can't even read what's on the note cards.
	Kamala Harris is taking all of the heads of state meetings.
	She's making all the phone calls.
	She's the one interacting with other heads of state across the world.
	Barack Obama never left Washington, D.C. Unlike other presidents, most presidents leave the Capitol once their time in office is over.
	Susan Rice, who was his most loyal foot soldier of all of the Obama administration officials, she went out on 9-11 of 2012, lied to the entire nation on all the television shows about the Benghazi attack, suffered no wrongdoing for that.
	In fact, she got promoted.
	She left the ambassadorship that she had in the UN and she came into the White House staff after that event was carried out.
	So you've got someone who's very loyal who is now Joe Biden's domestic policy chief advisor.
	And my guess is that she's also probably the author or responsible for the authoring of most of the executive orders that the executive branch has issued since he's been in office.
	My hunch is that President Obama is pulling the strings vis-a-vis Susan Rice.

	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 is 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.

	A lot of great friends in London and Great Britain.
	She's not a primary concern of mine.
	And so I want to read from Ben Goldsmith's tweet, which I thought was terrific.
	The narrative being promoted by Meghan.
	Friends of Meghan and the leftist mainstream media and everyone else who hates the royal family and British traditions generally is that the royal couple were driven out of Britain because of snobbery and racism.
	This just isn't true.
	the British tabloid press and the British publicly initially adored the idea that a glamorous star from suits was marrying into the royal family.

	The ultimate issue today, like so many ultimate issues, is as important as it gets.
	The vast majority of people who commit evil think they're good, think they're moral, and think that their cause is moral if it's done ideologically.
	I'm not talking about the individual sadist who carves up human beings.
	Okay, that's not the issue.
	That is pure evil, but it is exceedingly rare.
	Sixty million Chinese were not killed by people carving people up.
	Or the six million Jews, or the six million Ukrainians, or the one-third of Cambodians.
	I mean, it just goes on and on.
	The Turks.
	The Turkish Muslims who killed the Armenians thought that they were wonderful people doing Allah's work.
	So, I mean, even the terrorists, do you think as they crashed airplanes of thoroughly and wholly innocent people into buildings, caused completely innocent people to either burn up or...
	Jump out a window from the 90th floor.
	They didn't think they were evil.
	They were convinced they were good.
	So do you understand that appealing to people to be good is stupid?
	Is useless?
	People need prescriptions with regard to goodness.
	Take free speech.
	I thought it was a good.
	Many of you think it's a good.
	Half of America doesn't.
	The people who vote Democrat do not believe that free speech is okay because you can allow hate speech.
	There you go.
	What you think is good, they don't think is good, but they think they're good.
	I'm good.
	I'm suppressing hate speech.
	Can you get better than that?
	The need to feel that your moral is a propelling agent.
	For a vast number of, not vast, for all movements.
	Every Times columnist thinks that he is on the side of the angels, and virtually every one of them is an idiot, a moral idiot.
	We have nothing in common.
	I have nothing in common with Paul Krugman or Thomas Friedman, and they're considered liberals, not leftists.
	I think I'm doing good.
	They think they're doing good.
	And we do the opposite.
	So what do you say to that?
	You think Antifa thinks they're doing bad?
	Is there one member of Antifa burning down one building, smashing one police car, ruining one business who thinks, I love doing evil?
	No.
	That's why you need a set of principles, and that's why they better damn well come from God.
	Secularism breeds moral chaos.
	How could it not?
	It relies on human goodness, which is useless.
	That's the way it is.
	Everybody who does bad thinks he's good.
	get it?
	The one of the leading Nazis, particularly vicious human being, a piece of, well, we'll a piece of, well, we'll say, Himmler, Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, went to Poland.
	gave a speech to high-up Nazis in Poland.
	Told them, reassured them that the extermination of Jewish families was a good thing.
	That's how he got them on board.
	He didn't say, hey, hey, hey, hey, guys, this is a real chance to be sadistic butchers.
	No, here's a real chance to serve the fatherland, ridding itself of the intermensch, the underhuman, the subhuman of the Jew.
	That's what happens when morality becomes subjective because everybody thinks they're doing good.
	That's the way it works.
	It's unbelievably easy to convince yourself.
	There is no lying that is as easy as lying to oneself.
	So, that's why, you know, tell people, you know, oh, all we need is love.
	But everybody thinks they're loving.
	Right?
	BLM thinks they're loving.
	Antifa thinks they're loving.
	Who doesn't think they're loving?
	The Ku Klux Klan at its height.
	You think these members thought that they were bad?
	They not only thought they were good, they thought they were good Christians.
	That's why we're warned constantly in the Bible not to follow our heart, but to follow God's commands. .
	Well, then you have the problem of those who follow God's commands and do evil, like the Islamic terrorists.
	But those commands are not to be found in the Judeo-Christian world, to be honest.
	There are religious people in the Western world who've done evil, many.
	But there's no commandment to kill the infidel.
	There is such a commandment within parts of Islam.
	So, this is what we're facing.
	All these teachers who are ruining education think they're terrific.
	Just terrific.
	They are on the moral arc of history banning to kill a mockingbird.

	So thinking you're good means zilch.
	With a capital Z. It's a big dilemma, my friends.
	Big dilemma.
	Fort Myers, Florida, and Christopher, hello.
	Hello.
	Thank you.
	Hey, um, Dennis.
	Yes.
	So, I wanted to comment on your...
	You said that people do not go to sleep and then wake up and say, oh, I'm gonna do evil today.
	That's right.
	So, I understand that question, but most people...
	So my parents adopted kids and their stepfather, I guess you could say, beat their sister who is now...
	Right, okay.
	So I said earlier...
	It was really messed up.
	Okay, you're right.
	You're right.
	So let me explain.
	I'm glad you called.
	I said it, but I don't expect people to hear everything I say, and I say that with respect.
	Especially when things are new, it's hard to hear everything.
	I was clear as a bell.
	Individual evil.
	I said, like carving up people.
	You can use child abuse.
	Beating a spouse.
	Individual evil.
	I don't know.
	I will get to that in a moment.
	But that's not what I'm talking about.
	I'm talking about the evil that has caused 100 million deaths in the 20th century.
	That statistically way, way outdoes spousal abuse.
	In terms of people who are killed, murdered, etc.
	I'm talking about ideological evil.
	Every ideological evil is done by people thinking they're doing good.
	As regards individual evil, like spousal abuse or child abuse even, I don't know the answer.
	If you asked a man who abused a prepubescent child, I'm taking prepubescent because that is so obviously evil.
	So, that's why I'm taking it.
	So, what does this man think?
	To the extent that I am aware, and it's not a huge extent, I've done some reading.
	But I do not claim expertise in the arena.
	Their self-image is of a lover of children, not an abuser of children.
	Not in all cases.
	In some cases, they know that they are, I presume.
	Very few people, including those who abuse a spouse, the wife abuser or the husband abuser, sees him or herself as a victim lashing out at a perpetrator.
	They don't think, oh, I'm whacking my spouse because I'm a piece of crap.
	They don't do that.
	I'm whacking, I'm hurting my spouse because they deserve it.
	You know how much they do X, Y, or Z? So even there, and not in all cases, I mean in the case of the psychopathological individual, the one who lacks the ability to empathize, that person does not think they're doing good.
	They don't think they're doing bad.
	They don't think about good and bad.
	There are such people.
	They are responsible for a very small part of evil in the human condition.
	Okay, that's the key here.

	The narrative being promoted by Meghan, friends of Meghan, and the leftist mainstream media, and everyone else who hates the royal family and British traditions generally, is that the royal couple were driven out of Britain because of snobbery and racism.
	This just isn't true.
	The British tabloid press and the British publicly initially adored the idea that a glamorous star from suits was marrying into the royal family.
	And got terribly excited by the novelty of their royal wedding in the chapel of Windsor Castle.
	They only started going off Meghan when they realized she was a pushy, ungrateful, entitled, gag-inducingly politically correct Hollywood gold digger who'd just gone and hitched herself up to Britain's favorite cheeky, chappy warrior prince.
	And turned him into an emasculated, humorless husk of his form.
	It's actually from James Dellingpole, who I believe writes for Breitbart, amongst other places.
	And he interviewed me when we were in London for our campus tour.
	Very good guy.
	And so there's a lot of people that are kind of dissecting the interview yesterday.
	There's a lot of people that are going through the entire thing.
	I think just a broader question about this whole saga is...
	Are we really now going to blame racism for the alleged oppressed life?
	Oh.

	The exhale was because of the subject It's so intense.
	The subject of the Ultimate Issues Hour today is people want to think they're moral.
	So no matter what they do, they think they're good.
	That's why you need specific standards, and that's why it's particularly helpful if it comes from God.
	The kids who stop speaking to a parent.
	I don't mean kids.
	The children.
	Adult children who stopped speaking to a parent who voted for Donald Trump, they think they're good.
	They do?
	Yeah.
	Oh, a parent voted for Trump?
	They don't deserve my existence.
	every one of them thinks that they are doing something noble by ignoring a parent one of the most cruel things a person could do and those however who believe that they are bound by the Ten Commandments honor your father and mother does not come with an asterisk only if you like the way they voted and
	Now you understand reason number 56, why it is so important to have a God and a law?
	Telling people to be kind is like telling people to drive carefully and not posting any signs up.
	Not putting any stoplights up.
	You'll just drive carefully and we'll trust you.
	You don't need a speed limit.
	Such important stuff. .
	All righty, everybody.
	Okay, let's go to Don in Clarksville, Tennessee.
	Hey.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Wait a minute.
	Didn't I just start on your station?
	I don't know.
	I just joined in about a half hour ago.
	Yes.
	Wait, so are you listening on 1400?
	Actually, I'm listening to you on the internet.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, just know, literally today, I began in Clarksville, Tennessee.
	How ironic.
	So you could hear me on the radio.
	Oh my goodness.
	Yes.
	Are you somewhere where I could see you?
	Well, you could see me on the internet, but that's not a thrill.
	Yeah, but I would like to speak to you, then.
	Oh, I see.
	All right.
	Well, I hope to get to Clarksville.
	All right, what's on your mind?
	All right.
	All right.
	Slight nuance with this, and that coming from a Calvinist who believes in the depravity of man.
	I believe that a person initially does, because the law of God is written on the hearts of men, I believe initially there is a guilt.
	But I believe that we fear our conscience, and that written by a great man, the vanishing conscience, And we begin to justify ourselves and make up excuses, and essentially we no longer have any guilt towards doing it.
	But initially I think we do.
	That's a very interesting thought.
	I agree with you, actually.
	The first time somebody does something bad is much different from the tenth time.
	Very great Hebrew phrase in that regard.
	A good deed drags along another good deed, and a bad deed drags along another bad deed.
	Thank you, my friend.
	Look forward to meeting you.
	Indeed.
	Cody, Portland, Oregon.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I want to say thanks so much for having me on your show.
	Thank you.
	You're welcome.
	Living here in Portland, I've definitely had a lot of influence from a lot of leftists.
	I call myself a recovering leftist, but I want to thank you.
	Actually, you've had a big part to play in that as well.
	I love listening to your show.
	But I found that some people care about the perception and the feeling of being good while they don't actually have certain guiding virtues that they have in their life.
	And so I think that they care about wanting to feel like they've done something good.
	Right.
	That's exactly, yes, that's the theme of this hour.
	That point is the theme of this hour.
	They want to feel that they're good no matter what they do.
	Right.
	But I've noticed that a lot of people, especially on the left, to be honest, a lot of people form their worldview.
	Or more accurately, they form their morality, their sense of morality, to their worldview, rather than letting their worldview be formed by their sense of morality.
	So it's almost like the worldview comes first, and then they tap on their morality on top of that, rather than having people's morality and kind of almost like...
	Well, yes.
	It isn't even as deep as that, actually, and I'm very touched and thrilled that you're at such a young age are thinking this through and listening to this show and so on.
	Now, it's worse, unfortunately.
	The vast majority of those who were rioting during 2020 were following the herd and telling themselves that they were good.
	Both were true.
	But the herd factor...
	was as important as look at how wonderful I am.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	- I'm not sure if the president or the ostensible president is not behaving as the president, The country needs to know, is the vice president in charge?
	So it strikes me we have a constitutional crisis.
	I don't know how you get around it.
	So let me give you the best guess that I can kind of piece together.
	All of Capitol Hill is sitting behind a fence with razor wire on top of it.
	Joe Biden is not taking public meetings.
	He is barely having public appearances and even those are tightly controlled.
	He shows up with note cards in his pocket when he loses his way.
	He pulls the note cards out.
	He can't even read what's on the note cards.
	Kamala Harris is taking all of the heads of state meetings.
	She's making all the phone calls.
	She's the one interacting with other heads of state across the world.
	Barack Obama never left Washington, D.C. Unlike other presidents, most presidents leave the Capitol once their time in office is over.
	Susan Rice, who was his most loyal foot soldier of all of the Obama administration officials, she went out on 9-11 of 2012, lied to the entire nation on all the television shows about the Benghazi attack, suffered no wrongdoing for that.
	In fact, she got promoted.
	She left the ambassadorship that she had in the UN and she came into the White House staff after that event was carried out.
	So you've got someone who's very loyal who is now Joe Biden's domestic policy chief advisor.
	And my guess is that she's also probably the author or responsible for the authoring of most of the executive orders that the executive branch has issued since he's been in office.
	My hunch is that President Obama is pulling the strings vis-a-vis Susan Rice.

	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 is 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.

	Let me summarize your calls because I can't get to everybody.
	The ultimate issues hour theme is that the vast majority of people who join evil causes think they're doing good.
	So let's see here.
	Kent in Olive, Michigan.
	How long can good people do evil things before they become evil people?
	It's a very interesting and good question.
	A lot of otherwise good people do evil.
	What is the new phrase I've come up with?
	It's a good one.
	If only evil people committed evil, the world would be a very good place.
	When I think of the really nice people in Minnesota, I've been there many, many times.
	At least 15 times.
	Always struck by Minnesota nice.
	It's real.
	It's real.
	It exists.
	And they vote for people who do really bad things.
	It's a moral dilemma.
	Will in San Antonio Jefferson did not feel good about slavery but laid a foundation for freedom from slavery at the same time.
	That is correct.
	That's right.
	I don't think he felt good about slave owning.
	That is correct.
	You can justify it because in his mind it was what everybody did.
	But it's sort of like the person who might today Eat meat.
	I do, by the way.
	And think, you know, I hope one day we have equally healthy alternatives to it and don't have to kill animals.
	It's not a precise example, but it's a good one.
	Gunther in Scottsdale, Arizona.
	Is it possible Israel would not exist without the Holocaust?
	Can good come from evil?
	I have never bought either proposition. - Thank you.
	Zionism predates the Holocaust by many years, and the Jews still have to fight their way to independence.
	Can good come from evil?
	There are evils from which no good can come.
	That's my belief.
	In our personal lives, it is possible.
	Yep.
	All right, Tom, Gary, Pete, Mark, thank you.
	That's why you need a code.
	And I used my example of adult children who don't speak to a parent.
