	American violence in the country.
	I have no idea how true that is because there's nothing that is in the political realm that I trust the media to offer to us honestly.
	There's no joy in me in saying this.
	Fake news is exactly what the media are about.
	The Washington Post has acknowledged This gigantic issue that even got into the articles of impeachment.
	The President had told certain things to the Secretary of State of Georgia.
	Fine me ballots or whatever.
	Never said it.
	It was made up by some liar in the Georgia, I guess, Republican Party.
	I might well have been.
	But it was just made up.
	And now, okay.
	It wasn't ever said by President Trump.
	How many Americans know that?
	What is the ratio of Americans who knew or who believed they knew that the President said, find me ballots, find me votes, versus those who know that he never said it?
	What is it, 10 to 1?
	Would you say it's 10 to 1?
	I would say it's 10 to 1, even if it's larger.
	11 to 1. Huh?
	20 to 1?
	So anyway, it's part of the reason that I know they lie, they know they lie, and everybody's okay, except for the people who believe them.
	Because lying in the name of progress is moral.
	Social justice is more important than truth.
	Equity is more important than truth.
	Getting rid of Donald Trump was more important than truth.
	Truth is not a left-wing value, one of my daily things.
	Yes?
	The gunman, yeah.
	The gunman said he was not targeting Asians.
	Oh, he had a sex addiction.
	Is that what he claims?
	So he took it out on...
	Okay.
	If that's true, that makes sense.
	But we don't know if it's true.
	But I don't know why you would deny your motive.
	Right?
	That's the whole point.
	If you hate a group, you want to say, I hate that group.
	They're damaging the country or whatever.
	Six of the eight were Asian descent.
	Six of the eight.
	Yes, two were not Asian.
	Asian descent.
	And it's Asian descent.
	All right, look.
	I don't believe that the Asian factor was the motivating factor, but I don't know anything for a fact.
	None of you do.
	But if he had a sex addiction...
	This is where I am stymied by the ability of humans to blunt moral clarity.
	You have a sex addiction, let's say it's true.
	You have a sex addiction and that gives you permission to murder?
	How did you link those two?
	Because they're the providers of your addiction?
	Oh, God.
	It does seem...
	The human condition does seem troubled and pathetic, for that matter.
	I have anger at the people who do evil, I have to say.
	I hope he's executed.
	But he won't be executed because the liberal and left, one of the instances where liberals and left agree.
	The liberal and left world believe that no matter what you do, you deserve to live.
	I consider that view illogical and immoral.
	No matter what, I have a right to my life after I've taken others' rights to their lives.
	Do I have a right to a house if I've blown up somebody else's house?
	I guess people would say yes.
	But we don't.
	We put people in a different house called a jail.
	Hmm.
	He should be tried next week and executed a month later.
	There's nothing to try, right?
	I'm all for the accused having their day in court.
	I really am.
	But he'll have his day in court.
	But there is no doubt in this instance.
	It's not a, you know, he said, she said type thing.
	I'm sure it's literally on video.
	You think it's literally on video?
	That's a good point.
	Well, it might be.
	I don't know if it is.
	I don't know if Massage Parlor is...
	Was it called a parlor or Massage Studios?
	I have videos because I don't think the people who frequent it would like to be on tape.
	So, I don't know the answer.
	Anyway, it doesn't matter.
	He did it.
	He acknowledges he did it.
	My heart goes out to his parents.
	There's only one thing worse than your child being murdered, and that is your child murdering.
	I actually did an hour of that on my show years ago, many years ago.
	Which would be more painful to you if your child were murdered or if your child were a murderer?
	It wasn't unanimous, but most people said if my child was a murderer.
	I would think so.
	Wow!
	Well, it's painful stuff, and if there's any more to report.
	See, I don't know whether this is left-wing hysteria trumped up in order to prove how racist America is, or if there's really this epidemic of anti-Asian violence.
	See, they lie about all the anti-black racism, so why wouldn't they lie about all the anti-Asian racism?
	See, once you've lied repeatedly on the same issue, I might add, that's why there are so many race hoaxes, because there are so few actual anti-black racist incidents.
	So they have to make up, or many people feel they must make up one, Jussie Smollett only being the most famous.
	So we make them up, and...
	I don't know if this is the real deal.
	But the track record of the left and the media, which are identical, is such that I just don't trust it.
	A year after COVID, there are people walking around doing bad things to people who look Asian because the virus started in China.
	I don't state that it never happened.
	It's so preposterous, however, that it's hard to believe that even cuckoo people think that way.
	The virus started in China, so I will kill a Filipino.
	We will be back.
	1-8 Prager 776. This is Carol Platt-Lebow of Yankee Institute for townhall.com.
	Matt Meyer is president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, a union leading the effort to keep children at home, insisting that reopening schools is just too unsafe.
	So jaws dropped when video of him was seen taking his own daughter to in-person preschool.
	The episode highlights the hypocrisy and cynicism evident in too much COVID policy, especially in education.
	School districts with strong teachers unions are less likely to hold in-person classes.
	Meanwhile, our children remain trapped at home, suffering from social isolation and learning loss.
	The achievement gap has increased, and there's a worsening youth mental health crisis.
	Parents have stood by helplessly at the mercy of the unions, even as the CDC admits that schools can reopen safely.
	In-person learning shouldn't be reserved for children of the privileged.
	Our kids deserve policies that put their rightful needs over the self-serving demands of union elites.

	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?
	Thank you.

	So here's the Wall Street Journal on the Washington Post.
	It's very rare, by the way, for papers to attack other papers.
	So something egregious or serious must have happened.
	The Washington Post has recently made a significant change to a story it published in January, which now carries the following notice at the top.
	This is from the Washington Post.
	Correction.
	Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia Secretary of State released an audio recording of President Donald Trump's December phone call with the state's top election investigator.
	The recording revealed that the Post misquoted Trump's comments on the call based on information provided by a source.
	That's what they do on the left.
	A source.
	Anonymous source, and the reason they do it is they have an agenda, so all they need is a source.
	But there's always a source, because people lie.
	Trump did not tell, this is the Washington Post, Trump did not tell the investigators to, quote, find the fraud, or say she would be a national hero if she did so.
	Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, asserting she would find, quote, dishonesty, unquote, there.
	He also told her she had, quote, the most important job in the country right now, unquote.
	The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump, unquote.
	Back in January, this is the Wall Street Journal, the original story and its inaccurate quotations were widely circulated in major media and did not escape the notice of Mr. Trump's political adversaries.
	Mark Hemingway writes in The Federalist, quote, House Democrats would cite the article and its fabricated quotes on page 10 of their impeachment brief, as well as highlight the article and its fake quotes in oral arguments.
	During the televised impeachment trial.
	This is perhaps the perfect ending to the story of Trump-era press coverage, writes the Wall Street Journal, and helps explain why media outlets never punished the anonymous sources of bogus Russia collusion stories by outing them.
	The bearers of false witness never gave their permission.
	Will this odd media courtesy be extended to anonymous sources who supply false claims about President Joe Biden?
	What do you think the answer to that is?
	It doesn't matter how often we find the left and the media, which is left lying.
	It does not matter.
	The world shaped by reading the Washington Post, watching CNN, reading the New York Times, is not only a world of different opinion, it is a world of different apprehension of reality.
	They admit that.
	It's one of the few things left and right agree with.
	We do not even agree on reality.
	It's very tough to dialogue with people.
	They would admit this.
	How do you dialogue with people who have a different reality?
	One of us lives in a fantasy land, either conservatives or leftists.
	That is one of the few things they can agree on.
	Right?
	right?
	1-8 Prager 7-7-6.
	There is a piece - I want to get this.
	I actually contributed to her FundMe page.
	Gateway Pundit and other places.
	The left won't report this, I bet.
	I couldn't find one left-wing source.
	If this article is accurate, that's why you didn't send it to me.
	So I checked.
	It's widely reported.
	And the names.
	There were names.
	And it's a doctor.
	That's the reason I give it credibility.
	I want to say at the outset, if what I'm about to read you is not accurate, I am at fault for reporting it, and all the places that reported it, including a place you respect, Gateway Pundit.
	But they give the school name, they give the doctor's name, that's a lot.
	As she reported it, a Dr. Michelin Epstein, she has had a six-year-old girl removed from her.
	They have a bitter divorce, she does, this doctor, because she did not wear a mask by dropping her off outside the school.
	The problem, you see, here's the problem.
	The left doesn't report a lot of embarrassing things.
	So, I couldn't find a left-wing source for this.
	I fully acknowledge that to you.
	I will bring to you any update that isn't true.
	Here's the problem.
	I believe it because it's so feasible.
	This is New York City.
	This is hysteria.
	Which, by the way, there are conservatives who have this hysteria.
	Masks outside.
	I have an interesting question.
	If you wear masks outdoors, when will you not?
	So I think the answer is when the authorities say it's okay.
	That's troubling.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	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 of this.
	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 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.
	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, but go ahead.
	I'm not saying that to be...
	You know, damaging towards him.
	I see the little old man that they shuffle out to do the press appearance like he did yesterday, where he forgot the name of the defense secretary, forgot the name of the Pentagon, didn't really know who he was talking to.
	He knew it was a multi-sided shape.
	Does he have to know that it's exactly like a five sides?
	Does he have to know it's a Pentagon?
	What if he said dodecahedron?
	I would have given him more credit than saying that outfit over there.
	If we found out that, you know, Woodrow Wilson is in a coma and his wife is running the country, that's unconstitutional.

	The latest video of PragerU.
	Is titled, Did Capitalism Save Communist China?
	It's got two million views in two days on YouTube and Facebook combined.
	The person delivering it is Helen Raleigh.
	She is the daughter of two Chinese parents who came to America.
	She's a columnist for The Federalist and a China expert.
	It's a fantastic video.
	And it's a real pleasure.
	But to say hello to you, Helen Raleigh.
	Good morning, Mr. Prager.
	How are you?
	I am well.
	The screener tells me you asked her whether you should call me Dennis or Mr. Prager.
	So, that's very...
	It's impressive of you that you would even ask.
	And my answer is...
	I am equally comfortable with both, so you do what you're comfortable with.
	But Dennis is perfectly fine.
	So, you'll choose.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Where do you live, by the way?
	I currently live in Colorado.
	And your parents came from Taiwan, the mainland, Hong Kong, which one?
	Well, actually, I came here all by myself.
	My parents, yeah, I was born in mainland China.
	Uh-huh.
	Very interesting.
	Are they still there?
	I'd rather not talk about it.
	Okay, that's fine.
	That's perfectly legitimate, and I won't pursue that anymore.
	Fine.
	So your video is about something that is probably a shock to most American young people, and especially those at college.
	The idea that capitalism saved communist China sounds almost mutually exclusive.
	So, why don't you give us a little rundown of that fact?
	Sure.
	So, yeah, I can understand why this video came as a shock to so many young people in America, because they are not being taught in schools about real history.
	We don't talk about what's happening in China, Soviet Union, and Cuba.
	So especially in China's case, since 1949, the Chinese Communist Party established Communist China, and the leaders of the Communist Party promised the Chinese people that they are going to have a socialist paradise.
	Everybody will have a job.
	No one would ever go hungry.
	Everybody will have a share of the wealth and the health care, employment, just everything you wanted under the sun.
	And they, of course, won popular support from millions of Chinese people.
	But it turned out in order to realize such a socialist policy, to build such a socialist paradise, the Communist Party had to implement very totalitarian policies.
	So, for example, they confiscated all the land from the landowners.
	They nationalized private businesses.
	And all these policies lead to a famine as well as economic downturn.
	The Chinese people suffered a great deal, especially between 1958 and 1962. China experienced the worst famine in human history.
	estimated 45 million Chinese people were starved to death, including some of my family members.
	And after Mao died in 1976, the Chinese leaders, Communist Party leaders recognized that in order to remain in power, they must save China's economies.
	But of course, you know, they were socialists.
	They didn't know what to do, and their policy failed for three decades.
	So it turns out there were 18 courageous farmers in this small village called the Xiaogang village.
	And those farmers were desperate, and they were also ashamed of themselves because they were farmers, but they couldn't support their family.
	They and their family constantly were hungry.
	So they basically signed a private contract with their party leadership at the village level, basically saying, you know, if we could fulfill the government quota, would you allow us to keep some of our produce to ourselves would you allow us to keep some of our produce to ourselves and also allow us to sell in the black market, and you will not And, of course, the party leaders were just as desperate as them, and, you know, he agreed.
	And because most of these farmers were literate, so in order to sign this secret document, they actually just put ink on their thumbs, basically put their thumb ink.
	On the piece of paper.
	All right, hold on there.
	This is an amazing story about how capitalism saved communist China.
	Did you hear that, by the way?
	The most destructive famine in human history because of communism.
	Mao.

	But she won't say who said it because she's doing maybe a Jussie Smollett thing.

	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 If you 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.
	Thank you.
	Feels like a safe one.
	Megan, you are now allowing your feels.

	Transcription by CastingWords 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, quote, Washington, President Biden did not do anything this weekend.
	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.
	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.
	Hi, everybody.
	This is one of those videos your child should see.
	A Chinese immigrant to the United States tells about how capitalism saved communist China.
	Did we do...
	I don't remember all our 500 videos.
	Did we...
	I'm just asking Alan Estrin here.
	Helen, one second.
	Did we do a video on what Mao did?
	The destruction of...
	Not specifically.
	Because I've done on communism, but not on that specifically.
	It's hell.
	What he produced was hell.
	So Helen Raleigh is a China expert, and she's Chinese, and she's American, and she explains what capitalism did.
	So some farmers...
	Went to the Communist Party officials, because you can't do a thing other than perhaps go to the bathroom in a totalitarian regime without permission.
	They wanted to give the party what it wanted, but keep for themselves and sell items on the black market.
	Is that what we're up to, Helen?
	Yes, that was correct.
	Right.
	So, is this a remote place in China where this happened?
	Well, it was in the area that, well, it's remote, but the province, the village was at, was not necessarily remote.
	It was actually known for its grain production in China.
	So it's historically known for grain production in China.
	Okay.
	So they say, so can we try keeping some profits after you get what you want?
	And what did the Chinese local officials say?
	Well, the local official basically said, you know, yes, you can, but if we get caught, you know, myself will be executed by the party, so you have to promise to take care of my family for me.
	Oh, my God.
	That's amazing.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, so the Communist Party leader at the village level, he made the farmer's promise.
	They would take care of his family if they got caught.
	And that's how they signed that secret agreement with each other.
	And what's the amazing thing is at the end of that year, the 18 farmers produced more grain than the entire village's production in the last 10 years combined.
	It is probably the most dramatic lesson.
	Of the need for the profit motive to get people out of poverty.
	Yes.
	Because when you let people to choose for themselves, and they work hard, and they're willing to take as much risk as they can to do better for themselves and their family.
	And that's the ultimate motive.
	That's exactly right.
	So what happened?
	Did news of this great boon in production reach Beijing?
	What happened?
	Yes, so obviously they couldn't hide this great production news from the village level to city, the province eventually reached to Beijing.
	At the provincial level, just like the village leader predicted, you know...
	They got caught and he was going to die.
	But the supreme leader of Beijing, Deng Xiaoping, he was a very pragmatic man.
	And once he heard about this example, he spared their life because he thought this example gave him an idea for economic reform because he didn't know what to do, how to revive China's economy.
	But what happened with these 18 villagers?
	Give him idea how to do economic reform.
	So he actually spared their life and launched a sweeping economic reform by opening China up, investing, inviting foreign investment.
	The story is truly amazing.
	One would think that Mao or others who truly wanted to feed their people would have said, gee, why is America so wealthy?
	And then they wouldn't have needed the 18 farmers.
	Correct?
	Yeah, well, you know how the rhetoric...
	Actually, amazingly, the rhetoric back then in China from the Communist Party is very similar to the radical laughter rhetoric today.
	They will not credit America as well.
	It was built on free market.
	They will say it's built on exploitation.
	It's built on oppression.
	Of course, the Communist Party would not learn from America.
	Ah, so, I see.
	So, the suffering of the Chinese people as a result.
	I know a fair amount about this because I've studied it and it's a very depressing subject.
	If I may ask you, and you're not obligated to respond, but it's obviously, and it has nothing to do with your video, As a Chinese individual who is American, but putting the American aside, do you experience anti-Asian bigotry on any regular level or even irregular level?
	Well, I do not experience it on a regular level.
	I actually wrote an article last year for Fox News that talked about this very subject.
	Because I'm very outspoken, so yes, I do receive hate mails.
	Actually, many of them came from the CCP trolls, you know, from China.
	But also, I received hate mails both from the far right as well as from the far left.
	So from the far right is more, you know, discrimination-based, you know, telling me to go back to where I came from, you know, I do not belong here.
	But also, interestingly, from the far left, they were just as racist and discriminatory because...
	The far left is obviously disappointed that I'm a minority conservative.
	Somehow they feel like I betrayed my skin color.
	Oh, that's right.
	You're a traitor.
	Like conservative blacks are race traitors.
	Exactly.
	That's the kind of hate mail I get.
	I understand.

	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.
	And it was a joke.
	And every year he'd do it.
	And every year he'd do it.
	Never in a million years did I ever think we'd get to the point where people are seriously taking this, where serious people are taking this seriously.
	Where do you start with this?
	I've heard that this is for 400 years of slavery or 250 years of slavery.
	America didn't become a country until 1787. Slavery ended 1865. That's not 400 years.
	That's not 250 years.
	Government didn't own slaves.
	States didn't own slaves.
	Individuals owned slaves.
	And Obama said that in his view, reparations were justified.
	Of course they were justified.
	to the slaves themselves or to their legal heiress, good luck trying to find them.

	The reason that China is a superpower is capitalism.
	But capitalism can, in fact, exist in a totalitarian state.
	There was a belief among many in the West that If you embrace capitalism, if you allow the economy to be free, as it were, that will lead to general freedom in a society.
	It turns out not to be true.
	Look at America.
	We have all this capitalism and we are less and less free.

	Training now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	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 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.

	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 pasta.
	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, right?
	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.

	I said, I'm coming down the pub.

	This is the Male Female Hour every Wednesday.
	Unless there was a national election on the previous Tuesday or some other major political event like a debate.
	Otherwise, we are true to the Male Female Hour.
	A little introduction, as I often do, to this.
	I have an agenda.
	My agenda is that men and women understand each other better and get along better.
	And I repeat, I am not a man fan, and I am not a woman fan.
	I am a good person fan, and therefore it doesn't enter the issue, although I believe deeply in male-female distinctions.
	I do not judge them differently.
	Okay, everybody.
	Once a season.
	I have Allison Armstrong on.
	This has been true for many years.
	She's remarkable.
	She gets applause from the applause machine.
	There you go.
	She's a renowned relationship expert, and her website for all things in this regard is allisonarmstrong.com.
	Allison is 1L1S. That's always one S, so it's one L. All righty, everybody.
	Allison Armstrong, welcome to the show.
	It was great to hear your voice.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I'm really glad to be here.
	And, you know, when you said you're a good person fan, I was reminded that before I started studying men 30 years ago, I actually believed that men were not good people.
	Fascinating.
	Well, that makes...
	Go on.
	Yeah.
	And then, you know, my friend was called a frog farmer, right?
	Someone who turns princes into frogs.
	And I realized I was bringing out the worst in men and thinking that's who you really are.
	But I had no idea how I was doing it.
	And so I'm excited about what we're doing today because it's really how we bring out the worst in men and in women and even in ourselves.
	So, this is a good 30th anniversary show for me to do with you.
	And this is our 18th year.
	Us being together would be like, you know, legal this year.
	Wow, our 18th year together.
	You're by far the longest consistent guest of my show.
	Wow.
	Well, we like each other a lot.
	Yeah, and we started in high school.
	You've come a long way.
	Now, Allison has affected a lot of people.
	I think that that is a very important thing unto itself, which we should visit one of these visits, and that is, why did you think men were bad?
	That's worthy of a subject.
	Do you agree?
	Yeah.
	The unpredictability of men to women drives us kind of nuts.
	And men already think women are unpredictable, but you grant us a little more grace for being unpredictable.
	Like, okay, they're magical, so they can be unpredictable.
	But we think men should act like women.
	And when you don't, we're afraid and we're frustrated.
	And our knee-jerk response, unconscious response, and winning response, and sometimes deliberate response, which I definitely did a lot back then, is to emasculate.
	Which is the subject of today's show?
	Emasculating men, and when we spoke before the show, you said, and emasculating women, which was, as I said to you then, sort of a curveball, not the term that is normally associated with anything inimical to women.
	So, let's get your understanding.
	I do believe emasculating men has taken place.
	So, I need your definition since you believe it applies to both sexes.
	Yeah, well, so when I first was learning how I was bringing out the worst in men, the word, well, a harsher word than emasculation was used.
	But it's really, I can relate to it because I was deliberately Power from men, taking the wind out of their sails, diminishing them, punishing them, weakening them, because I was terrified of men being powerful.
	The assumption that many women have instinctually and then deliberately is that men use their power against women, which I have found to be 95%, at least 95% false, wrong, not even close to the truth. at least 95% false, wrong, not even close to the But if you think of the masculine, if you want to, as being all about producing results, getting things done, accomplishing, right?
	Solving problems, right?
	So producing results, being effective, all associated with the masculine.
	And so to diminish someone's ability to produce results was one of the best ways that a man actually defined emasculation.
	When you diminish my ability to produce results, you've emasculated me.
	And women need to produce results as much as men do.
	Even if the result is, say, Dennis Sue supporting you.
	Effectively supporting you.
	That's a result that she has to produce and she's committed to producing it.
	And if you diminish her ability to do that, then ineffective emasculated her.
	even when you didn't mean to.
	And I just, if I can, I just want people to know it's normal.
	Emasculating ourselves and others is normal human behavior.
	It doesn't take a bad person to do it.
	It doesn't take a bad intention to do it.
	It's actually extraordinary to not emasculate.
	Well, so let me go to one of the earlier points in that very illuminating little monologue.
	that.
	Women are instinctively afraid of male power.
	Is that what you said?
	We are.
	Right, which is, I think, illuminating.
	I think that's very helpful to men to understand.
	On the other side of the ledger, though, I think you would agree that that is what renders men attractive to women.
	Yes, and that's a problem.
	We're attracted to you for your strength, and then if we don't feel safe around you, and this is feel safe, which is different.
	If we don't feel safe, we will diminish your strength.
	So yes, we're attracted to your strength, and then we will take it out if we're scared.
	Wow.
	It's a wonder that any men and women get along.
	It is, and I was thinking about that before we started, that we believe if we just meet the right person, it will turn out.
	But no, it takes so much more than the right person.
	Because instinctually, we're pitted against each other already.
	We have opposing instincts.
	And we misinterpret each other all the time, but we don't know that we are, so we rarely ask, what did you mean by that?
	We just assume that we know and then battle on.
	That's what 30 years has been for me, just finding out how wrong I have been.
	That men don't do things for the reasons women think they do.
	Like even opening a door, right?
	Opening a door for a woman became an insult to her ability.
	And women assumed, you know, that's like something the patriarchy does.
	No!
	No, men open the door for women to honor women.
	It's a saying, it's a, I'd rather you spent your energy on something more important.
	Let me do this for you, so you can do something better.
	Fascinating.
	Truly fascinating.
	All right, we will continue.

	Right, correct.
	And he was, it's incredible that I had forgotten that clip.
	It's incredible to go back to that moment because, of course, what did they say about Donald Trump for the four years after that is that he demanded explicit loyalty from everybody that worked for him, personal loyalty, whereas her campaign phrase was literally, I'm with her, not I'm with the country, not I'm with America, not I'm even with the future, right?

	Namrata Singh Gujal, she was on.
	She's a filmmaker.
	It uncovers the unintended consequences of the broken immigration system.
	This journey led her, a registered Democrat, to truth she never intended to find.
	She found out how much Americans are being lied to with regard to our immigration policies at the border.
	It's quite a powerful film.

	I have often noted that becoming a promo code was an ambition in my life.
	It's like when I was named a guru.
	Well, that's not quite promo code, but it's a high status.
	I think it's fair to say.
	So, it goes like that.
	It's like, you know, you go from brown belt to black belt and so on.
	Guru to promo code.
	Awesome.
	I know I'm getting older because I'm called things like icon.
	Oh, that's a great point.
	There are no young icons.
	That's a very funny point.
	And I have a legacy.
	That's right.
	You or somebody should write a piece.
	How you know you're getting older.
	And these would be excellent, excellent indices of that happening.
	So Alison Armstrong, who has one of the most original minds I've ever encountered, and she applies it especially to men and women.
	We're talking about emasculating men, and in her view, emasculating women as well.
	I'm beginning with the men part, and this.
	Very important point you made about the women are in a bind here to a certain extent because what renders a man attractive is his strength and yet you're saying it's somewhat built in to women to fear male strength.
	So I just want to review that I got that right.
	I would say way more than somewhat.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Way more than somewhat.
	Fair enough.
	So we'll revisit that in a moment.
	I actually want to talk to you about your insight into a man holding the door for a woman.
	And you said, this is not patriarchy, this is honoring.
	And so I analyze everything you say, and I thought, you know, that's interesting.
	If a younger person holds the door for me, it clearly has nothing to do with sex roles or patriarchy.
	What are they doing?
	And the answer is, they're honoring an older person.
	So it sort of vindicates what you said.
	Yeah, there's just another way that it shows up.
	Oh boy, when I unwound this, it changed my life.
	women offer to do things for each other when we think the other person can't do it, right?
	That they don't have enough time or they're overwhelmed or they don't have the ability.
	And so when a man offers to do something for a woman, it rankles most women.
	Like, we think you're challenging our ability.
	So our response will be, "I can do that.
	I don't need that.
	I can do that.
	Because we don't understand that for men, when you admire a woman, it's a privilege to get to provide for her.
	It's a privilege to get to help It's a privilege.
	Men use the word let.
	You know, I asked a man once, why do you do so much for me?
	And he said, because you let me.
	Men know a woman has to let you do something for her.
	And they're pleased when we do, when we let you do something for us.
	Women don't think in these terms.
	We don't understand what men are motivated by, how much you want to protect us, how much you want to provide for us.
	And one of the biggest ways that we reduce a man's ability to produce results is we don't tell you how.
	We think if you really cared about us, you'd already know how to protect me and what to protect.
	You already know what to provide for me.
	You'd already know.
	And this is one of the ways that women emasculate men all the time, and usually without knowing it.
	We don't consciously withhold the information.
	We just think we don't need to say it or shouldn't have to.
	And why should you not have to?
	Because if you really loved me, you'd be paying enough attention to pick up on my hint.
	I see.
	Just like I'm watching you like a hawk, you know, to pick up on what it is that you want when you're not going to bother to say it because, of course, there's no point in stating the obvious.
	You think what you need is obvious.
	So you don't tell us either.
	This is one of the ways that men diminish a woman's ability to produce results.
	You don't tell us what you want.
	And this is where a lot of extraordinary behavior comes in.
	Like, we literally have to make it safe for another person to tell us what they need.
	And mostly we don't.
	Mostly what we've needed has been ridiculed or argued with or dismissed or rejected or, you know, psychologized.
	You know, so people don't feel safe to speaking up and saying, "This is what I need." "Oh, okay.
	Yeah, I'd like to provide that for you." So these are all victories, what I would call the victory of the human spirit, to actually provide information, ask for information.
	It's stunning what happens when you do it.
	The results are amazing.
	Do you think that men or, when we get to women, well, we already have gotten to women, but with regard to men...
	Do you think men were more masculine 50 and 100 years ago in America?
	I think men were less self-emasculating.
	That's one of the heartbreaks I've encountered in the last 30 years is men not having faith in men.
	Men thinking men are awful.
	You know, when our workshop was called Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women, I'd have at least as many men say, what's there to celebrate?
	Men are jerks.
	I think it's not safe for men to be masculine.
	Like, they get attacked.
	You know, the more powerful you feel or happy, when men are happy, women will attack them because we sense the power in your happiness.
	So I think we kind of underground.
	I think there's more underground.
	Okay, hold on.
	Hold on with that and.
	We'll return in a moment with Alison Armstrong.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	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 Sundays.
	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.
	I see the little old man that they shuffle out to do the press appearance like he did yesterday, where he forgot the name of the defense secretary, forgot the name of the Pentagon, didn't really know who he was talking to.
	He knew it was a multi-sided shape.
	Does he have to know that it's exactly like a five sides?
	Does he have to know it's a Pentagon?
	What if he said dodecahedron?
	I would have given him more credit than saying that outfit over there.
	If we found out that, you know, Woodrow Wilson is in a coma and his wife is running the country, that's unconstitutional.

	But she won't say who said it because she's doing maybe a Jussie Smollett thing.

	Those were conversations that family had with him.
	If you were to brown, that that would be a problem.
	Are you saying that?
	I wasn't able to follow up with why, but that if that's the assumption you're making, I think that feels like a pretty safe one.
	Feels.
	Feels like a safe one.
	Megan, you are now allowing your feels.

	Transcription by CastingWords 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, quote, Washington, President Biden did not do anything this weekend.
	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.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager, male-female hour, second hour every Wednesday, and once a season, I have Alison Armstrong at alisonarmstrong.com, 1L, or located at denisprager.com as well.
	You can click onto it.
	She does these seminars.
	I assume that you haven't done any live seminar in a year, correct?
	I've been leading private gatherings.
	I'm about to go to Costa Rica.
	Let's do that next week.
	And I was in Nashville last summer.
	But mostly, we put our curriculum all online in 2017. So we actually were ready for COVID, surprisingly.
	I'm usually not ahead of the curveball.
	Well, nobody was ahead on this one.
	You know, we're not going to do this, but I just want you to know, I could spend an hour with you on men holding a door for a woman.
	It is so rich in questions, in interpretations, and yours was a very important point.
	I think it's just one other point on that, because you raised it, and that's fraught with danger to raise anything with me, just as it is fraught with danger to raise anything with you, actually.
	And I realized one of the reasons it's frowned upon now is that it affirms sex distinction.
	And that's taboo.
	Yeah.
	Oh, the pendulum.
	You know, it didn't matter.
	We're the same.
	We're equal.
	Now let's just pretend it doesn't exist at all.
	I think we lose as many gifts as we do problems, you know, in the process.
	But we could spend a whole show just on the subject of honoring.
	And what is it to be honoring of oneself and another human being?
	And just asking the question to your partner, how can I show respect?
	What are your favorite ways for me to show respect for you?
	What would make a difference for you?
	We feel disrespected because men and women disrespect each other all the time and we don't know it.
	We don't know that it occurs that way.
	And can I give another real ordinary life example?
	You're the best.
	So, I think you know I have a boyfriend, and he's listening.
	And I asked him, could he please say excuse me when he burps and I'm in the room?
	And he's kind of looking at me like, hmm.
	And I said it would be honoring of me for you to do that.
	And then he got just the best look on his face.
	It would be honoring of you.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	And he's done it ever since.
	And when he does it, he's always being honoring.
	Like intentionally being that way of me.
	That you are present, you are special, and I'm honoring of you.
	And it makes me giggle.
	It makes me...
	I give him carbonated beverages to have him burp more, so he says, excuse me, more.
	It turns out that he's normally annoying to women and has us like men less into something that has me like him more.
	Because you expressed what you wanted.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I told the truth about it, and he believed me, and he picked it up, which he keeps doing again and again and again, and I fall more and more in love with him.
	That's amazing.
	I mean, it's amazing.
	It's a terrific example.
	It's also amazing that he doesn't burp less.
	That's sort of my reaction.
	No, that wasn't the objective.
	Burping is human.
	I wasn't trying to get him to stop, which, you know, is something women try to do.
	Yes.
	All right.
	Now, this...
	This power issue of women attracted to and afraid of.
	So now let's go to the women issue.
	I'm going to have to stop you in the beginning, but I want to start it.
	Okay.
	If the issue is strength and diminution of strength, that's part of the definition, if not the primary definition of emasculating, we want women to be strong as well.
	Correct?
	Actually, men are looking for the strongest woman they can attract.
	That is worthy of more commentary.
	Wow.
	I happen to subscribe to that, by the way, but I want you to expound on it.
	Men are attracted to the strongest woman they can attract.
	By the way, strong woman is not an emasculating woman.
	Just for the record.

	And I went to the University of Westminster, and funny enough, I saw it as a hotbed, as a recruiting grounder.
	I saw what was going on with groups like Hizb ut-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.
	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.

	Allison Armstrong has been conducting seminars helping massive numbers of men and women get along better and understand each other.
	Now, talking about the emasculating men and emasculating women.
	Depriving them of their strength and of their power.
	And you said something which I totally resonate to.
	Men want as strong a woman as they can attract.
	But I want to make clear, strong woman, you may not agree with me.
	That's okay, as you well know.
	But a strong woman...
	Is not a non-feminine woman.
	The notion, in my view, that they are in some ways mutually exclusive is very wrong.
	Any comment on that?
	Yeah.
	Our understanding of femininity is as weak as our understanding of men.
	femininity is extraordinarily powerful it's it all has to do with ways of being that actually cause things to happen and i learned about femininity from men because men are in awe of it like whoa right
	you guys are just amazed by the power of femininity but women have come to associate it with weakness and a truly strong woman resting in her power has no need to emasculate men Thank you.
	She doesn't need to.
	She would never want to.
	What would be the point of that?
	She's got her own power.
	She doesn't need to steal his or diminish his.
	So it doesn't come from a strong woman emasculating, ironically.
	Great.
	Yes.
	Just as women are afraid of testosterone, right, we think it's what makes men mean.
	And it was actually John Gray who taught me that it's actually men with low testosterone that are mean.
	Because testosterone is a hormone that gives us a sense of well-being.
	And so when a woman emasculates a man, say by making him just sit and listen to her, which he's not built for, just listen, right?
	He's not built for that.
	It actually kicks in an enzyme that turns testosterone into estrogen.
	So he's being biologically emasculated, which makes him cranky.
	And she thinks that.
	She doesn't know that's because of her.
	She doesn't know that she did.
	She didn't let himself a problem.
	She made him just sit on his hands.
	Oh, is that fascinating?
	Because the masculine in him wants to solve the problem, not just empathize, and saying to him, don't solve, is in effect depriving him of his masculine self.
	Yeah, it's masculine.
	Don't solve it.
	Wow.
	So I teach women how to ask men to listen to them in a way that they get to be that hero.
	It's just a different framing.
	It's not don't do anything.
	It's please help me.
	Help me by letting me get all these thoughts and feelings out of me.
	Just express them.
	There's no point.
	You don't have to remember it.
	Just please let me.
	And so you teach men to hold the trash and just keep going, anything else, anything else.
	And then she just thinks she's amazing.
	And now she's herself again and connected and loving and sparkling.
	And it all turns out she gets to solve the problem by listening to her in a particular way that men are really good at.
	You really need to develop that theme with me on the show and write a book on how my view of men has evolved.
	I don't think there's anything quite like that out there.
	By the way, another thing...
	We have it all backwards.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's the point that I was about to make.
	Whenever I speak to you, I realize people go into marriage, and I mean quality people, go into marriage in...
	I think maybe this is an overwrought analogy, but it would be as if people would go into...
	The cockpit of an airplane and be told, fly it.
	But I never took any lessons.
	I don't know.
	And it's sort of a crapshoot, then, what marriages will work out or not, since the knowledge of the other sex is so minimal.
	Well, yes, and even the knowledge of our own gender is minimal.
	That's why women, when they watch the Understanding Women online course, which is co-ed, they're shocked by what they learn about themselves as men are.
	And men have learned as much about themselves from me as women have.
	Yeah, I'm quiet because I'm thinking about that.
	That's the reason I always stress that wisdom is so important.
	This is an example.
	You know, wisdom about the sexes.
	People...
	It's like the old saw, you know, kids don't come out of the womb with an instruction manual.
	Right?
	But instruction manuals are pretty important when they exist.
	And I would argue that her work is an instruction manual.

	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.

	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?
	All right, final segment with Alison Armstrong on this edition final segment with Alison Armstrong on this edition of the Male Female Hour.
	Let me just read to you some of the thoughts of listeners whom I haven't been able to talk to, Allison, but I want to read to you some of them.
	So in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Rob, who's 40, I'm a single father in the post-MeToo world.
	How do I express masculinity?
	And Carol in Akron, Ohio.
	My brother has been emasculated by his wife.
	It is very sad.
	David in Pittsburgh.
	In Russian, a masculine woman translates as courage.
	I like that point.
	What is the answer to Robin Bridgeport?
	In a post-MeToo world, how does he express masculinity?
	Well, I think...
	Everyone, what we have to do is keep being true to ourselves.
	What are we up to?
	What is the point of our lives?
	What do we need to fulfill that?
	Ask for it.
	Be loyal to it.
	Some of the biggest things I'm teaching these days is to be loyal to oneself.
	So when you say you need something, back it up.
	Don't settle for less than what you really need to produce the results you're committed to producing.
	Give a real-life example of that.
	Well, for example, sleep.
	If you need more sleep, then get it.
	Go to sleep.
	Instead of, oh, honey, can't you step and do this?
	Or, oh, we should do that?
	Or, why are you going to bed so early?
	Because I need it.
	We have to be loyal to ourselves and sometimes that upsets other people but if you continue to Back yourself up people finally take you seriously.
	They realize you mean well.
	I think his question suggests I don't know it for a fact obviously that He's afraid to show the the male side of him in meeting women Lest it be offensive The ability to offend is almost infinite these days.
	I think that that's what he was implying.
	There's not much time to respond, but if you'd like to, go ahead.
	Well, oh my gosh, get me going on hashtag me too and victim after the fact and all the baloney.
	I mean, I did a whole recording on it.
	But I mean the same thing.
	Movements are going to come and go.
	The culture's going to shift from side to side.
	We can try to be more pleasing and acceptable and adaptable to other people.
	And it's never going to work.
	It's never going to last.
	Okay.
	Let's hope you're right.
	God bless you.
	Good luck, my dear Allison, to another 18 years together.

	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.
	And it was a joke.
	And every year he'd do it.
	And every year he'd do it.
	Never in a million years did I ever think we'd get to the point where people are seriously taking this, where serious people are taking this seriously.
	Where do you start with this?
	I've heard that this is for 400 years of slavery or 250 years of slavery.
	America didn't become a country until 1787. Slavery ended 1865. That's not 400 years.
	That's not 250 years.
	Government didn't own slaves.
	States didn't own slaves.
	Individuals owned slaves.
	And Obama said that, in his view, reparations were justified.
	Of course they were justified.

	It's incredible to go back to that moment because, of course, what did they say about Donald Trump for the four years after that is that he demanded explicit loyalty from everybody that worked for him, personal loyalty, whereas her campaign phrase was literally, I'm with her, not I'm with the country, not I'm with America, not I'm even with the future, right?

	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 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?

	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.

	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 DC, unlike other presidents.
	Most presidents leave the Capitol once their time in office is over.

	Ninety percent of you are now saying to your radios or your iPads or phone, courageous.
	And that is correct.
	This woman has courage.
	There are not enough of her, but courageous people do a lot of good.
	Her name is Barry Weiss.
	She was a columnist for the New York Times.
	She left the New York Times, which we will talk about.
	She now writes for major publications, as well as her own website on Substack.
	Common Sense with Barry Weiss.
	Barry is B-A-R-I. And it's at barryweiss.substack.com.
	Her latest article, I don't know if it's her latest, but a very recent article.
	In the Great City Journal has, I believe, gone viral.
	I certainly hope it has.
	The Miseducation of America's Elites.
	I read every word.
	And we'll talk about that.
	The subtitle is Affluent Parents Terrified of Running Afoul of the New Orthodoxy in Their Children's Private Schools, Organized in Secret.
	Imagine that, my friends.
	Parents needing to organize in secret in the United States of America.
	All right, Barry Weisdow.
	It might have been the longest introduction I ever gave a guest.
	Thank you so much, Dennis.
	And I have to say that I grew up in a family where your book with Rabbi Joseph Solushka and the nine questions people ask about Judaism was stacked very high on my dad's desk.
	And anyone who ever expressed interest in...
	Deepening their connection to Judaism or converting was handed a copy at Shabbat dinner.
	So you probably owe him some kind of royalty check.
	He told me to mention that.
	I probably do, actually, now that you mention it.
	I'm very touched by that.
	I thank you.
	So there's a lot to talk about.
	How did you meet these parents?
	Let me explain for a moment.
	You live where?
	You lived in New York for some reason.
	No, no, no.
	I have been in New York for 15 years, but my fiancée, Nellie, used COVID as an excuse to take me to her native California, and I've really been enjoying it, I have to say.
	By the way, Nellie, when I was told the New York Times would write a feature piece on PragerU, My assumption was, given the piece that they wrote on me when I conducted an orchestra here in L.A., that it would be somewhat of a hit job.
	And while it still was the New York Times, your fiancé did not write a hit piece.
	So I just want you to know...
	She'll be glad to hear that.
	I think she's working in the other room, but thank you.
	Yeah.
	That was important for me to mention to you.
	Okay, so let's go to this article to begin with.
	No, you know what?
	I hate doing this and I rarely do it.
	I want to first ask you, why did you leave the New York Times?
	I mean, I think I spelled it out pretty clearly in my resignation letter.
	But really the reason I left the New York Times is that all of the...
	The reason that I went into journalism to be able to pursue my curiosity, to tell the truth, even if it was inconvenient, to talk to people that I disagreed with, and to do that in an atmosphere free of intimidation was no longer possible for me.
	And I had a hard choice to make, maybe a choice that some people listening to this are facing in their own lives.
	I certainly hear from a lot of, let's call them, closeted people inside ostensibly liberal institutions right now.
	And the choice is basically, you know, sit on my hands, avoid an ever-increasing number of topics that are considered third rail.
	But cling on to, you know, maybe not in your world, Dennis, but in mine, you know, the incredible prestige that comes from telling someone you work at the New York Times.
	You know, my grandparents were subscribed to the New York Times for more than 60 years.
	And I remember so clearly when I FaceTimed them to tell them that, oh, my God, I got this job.
	Can you believe it?
	And they were crying.
	And, like, that was the kind of response that, at least in the kind of blue world that I tend to live in, I would get.
	And also, let's be honest, love it or hate it, it's the most important newspaper in the world still with the greatest amount of reach.
	And knowing you can not just write your own articles, but in my case, I was a commissioning editor.
	So getting people into the New York Times, first-time writers, independent-minded people, people that would not otherwise think of the New York Times as a place that they would have the opportunity to publish, like, that made me high.
	That was the greatest thing ever.
	And so I could have stayed and kind of clung on to all of that, or I could leave and kind of live up to the principles that I espoused.
	And when I look at what those principles are, there was kind of no other choice but to walk out the door, and in walking out the door, to pursue the kind of work that I came there in the first place to do.
	I will say also that...
	You know, people fixate on the New York Times for lots of understandable reasons.
	But the story of the ideological transformation of the New York Times is a much, much, much bigger story.
	That the New York Times is only kind of one instance, one data point.
	And that is the story of ideological succession.
	It's the story of how liberal institutions have been upended, have been rotted out.
	By a deeply illiberal ideology that comes cloaked in the language of progress and social justice.
	And that, I think, is one of the great under-told stories of our moment.
	And it's one of the stories that I hope I'm delivering for my readers in my newsletter.
	I'm quiet because I'm assimilating all of what you said.
	My listeners know How true what you said is.
	The New York Times is not a liberal newspaper.
	It is a left-wing newspaper.
	And I have, to the consternation of many conservatives, drawn a huge distinction between liberalism and leftism.
	However, and I'd like you to react to this, liberals, and this is a challenge to you, perhaps, Liberals are not leftists.
	I wrote a piece in my column last week or two weeks ago.
	It was 32 questions to ask people to determine if they're a liberal or a leftist.
	And first, the obvious, the big example is, race is unimportant is the essence of liberal views on race.
	Race is important is the essence of left-wing views on race.
	They're literally antithetical.
	Yet, on every issue, every moral issue virtually, left and liberal are in opposition, and yet liberals vote for the left in the largest single instance of suicide that I am aware of as one who has studied history all of my life.
	How do you react to that?
	There's a lot there to react to.
	I would say that, you know, me being on this show is a good test of whether or not I'm a leftist or a liberal in my own instance.
	Because, you know, one of the things, frankly, I mentioned my dad at the top of the show, but one of the things that I used to argue with my dad about was your stance on gay marriage.
	And I was deeply disturbed by it, even as I admired your writings on Judaism, your writings on any number of topics.
	I feel right now that there needs to be a kind of laying down of arms over some old fights that might have divided someone like me and someone like you, and a kind of alliance that needs to be built between what I think of as liberal liberals and conservative liberals.
	Because in the end of the day, if you and I both believe that Our common humanity is more important than the lane that we are born into.
	If you and I both believe that we need to be fighting for a vision of healthy American identity that's rooted in the ideals of the founders.
	Yeah.
	Keep that thought.
	Barry Weiss is my guest.

	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.
	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?

	Government at all three levels takes half of what the American people make.
	Half.
	And you wonder why growth is slow?
	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm speaking to a very important force in America, Barry Weiss.
	She quit the New York Times because it was becoming illiberal.
	How many people leave the New York Times?
	God, I'm very tempted to talk to you about my friend Brett Stevens, but we won't.
	I think about him a lot.
	He wrote a piece on me.
	I wrote a piece on him.
	We've done programs together.
	Anyway, I'll talk to you about, not him, but the issue of Trump in a moment.
	I want to just bring everybody up to speed here.
	If you want to say something, go ahead.
	No, no, I can wait.
	I just was cut off in an awkward moment.
	I could continue there.
	I want you to.
	No, no, I want you to continue there.
	I just want to rephrase that I had said to you prior to the break that the differences between leftism and liberalism are enormous, much greater than between liberalism and conservatism.
	I will respond on the same-sex marriage for a moment afterwards, but you are absolutely right.
	There are so many other huge issues that...
	Connect conservatives and liberals.
	So go ahead.
	Yeah, I was simply going to say that, you know, there are any number of topics that you and I could have a debate on for many hours and I'm sure come to some kind of stalemate.
	But I feel very strongly that the fight of the moment and the fight that allows people like me and you to have those disagreements and And if you think,
	you know, whatever party you vote for, if you think political violence is wrong, if you think that mob justice is wrong, if you think that the presumption of innocence is fundamental to justice.
	If you think that whether or not you believe in God, that everyone is created in the image of God or created equally and therefore entitled to equality under the law.
	You know, if you're skeptical of the power of a company like Amazon, even when it's clamping down on people whose ideas you might despise, well, congratulations.
	Like, we're on the same team.
	Just believe that in this moment, and this was the first newsletter that I wrote, was called The Great Unraveling, and it was about, you know, it was based in a meeting that I had at Princeton with some dissident professors, including Robbie George.
	Going back to gay marriage, Robbie George, one of the most articulate, outspoken opponents, not from a Jewish perspective, but from a Catholic perspective of gay marriage.
	Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd be sitting with Robbie George thinking about how we could collaborate on...
	Fighting illiberalism, which obviously comes from the right, of course, but is also coming from the left.
	And, you know, that's kind of where I'm, that's the place that I'm standing in right now.
	And it's a place I maybe couldn't have imagined even 10 years ago.
	I'm sure you couldn't, right.
	I'm sure you couldn't have imagined.
	I think we're just, I think we're living through a very significant realignment.
	And that the things that allow...
	For all of the disagreements to happen without us killing each other is the thing that right now is under threat and needs to be protected.
	Right.
	So do you think I've overstated it when I say that liberals voting left is a case of mass suicide?
	I don't think it's a case of mass suicide to vote for someone like Max Rose in Staten Island or Richie Torres in the Bronx.
	And I think there's any number of flavors within the Democratic Party.
	You know, I wouldn't collapse it all into, you know, it's just, I don't know what you would say, AOC, the Squad.
	Yes, I think it is just that.
	I think they're irrelevant because they vote with AOC. I don't care what they personally believe.
	They're irrelevant.
	The people you just mentioned, I speak about politics for a living and never heard of.
	That's not a good sign.
	No, it's not a good sign.
	It's not a good sign at all.
	Okay.
	So, you know, what is our senator from West Virginia?
	Joe Manchin.
	Yeah, Joe Manchin.
	He's a great, perfect example.
	There he is in the state, 60-something percent conservative, and gets elected and votes left-wing.
	It's irrelevant.
	A Democrat is a Democrat.
	At this time...
	The liberal Democrat has been...
	Chuck Schumer was a liberal.
	He's now a leftist.
	They're all indistinguishable.
	So I once again restate, liberals vote suicidally.
	They think I'm the enemy.
	Much more than they think AOC is the enemy.
	That's sick.
	I'm not sure that...
	Well, I'm wondering if most liberals think you're the enemy.
	I'm not sure most liberals know who you are, in the same way you don't know Max Rose is, to be honest with you.
	And I guess...
	By the way, if most liberals don't know who I am, that proves something else.
	The staggering bubble in which they live.
	PragerU has over a billion views a year.
	I have millions of listeners.
	I had the number one selling book on Amazon when it came out, and it was a Bible commentary, no less.
	Excuse me, number two book on Amazon.
	Number one on the Wall Street Journal.
	If they don't know who I am, it says nothing about me.
	It shows you the bubble.
	They never heard of Tom Sowell.
	They never heard of Larry Elder.
	I utterly and completely agree with you.
	And if you want to see the divide between those two things, look at the Amazon bestseller list and look at the New York Times bestseller list.
	They sometimes have almost no books in common.
	I guess what I would say to you is, is the goal to shame people or is the goal to convince people?
	I think it's a strategic question of...
	Whether you want to say to people who are sort of in the politically homeless, liminal space between Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow, if you want to say to them, you're committing political suicide, you're idiots, and come over here and agree with me.
	I'm not sure that's a winning message.
	It probably isn't.
	But I will not.
	I cannot.
	And we all have natures.
	My nature is not to patronize people.
	Most of my relatives vote Democrat.
	Everyone to a person is a wonderful, kind, honorable person.
	And when it comes to politics, they are fools.
	Naive fools.
	And I love them.
	Human beings are complex.
	By the way, my niece is a lesbian and she is married to a woman.
	Let me get to the gay issue for a moment.
	I believed on religious grounds, which I testified in Congress with regard to, and as you know, obviously, I believe that God wants marriage to be between a man and a woman.
	I was for a civil union with every right that married people have, but I have that as a religious belief.
	I want to tell you about me.
	And gaze in a moment.
	But I want to remind everybody, this is Barry Weiss, a woman of great courage and intelligence as well.
	former columnist left the New York Times for the sake of freedom.
	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	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.
	And it was a joke.
	And every year he'd do it.
	And every year he'd do it.
	Never in a million years did I ever think we'd get to the point where people are seriously taking this, where serious people are taking this seriously.
	Where do you start with this?
	I've heard that this is for 400 years of slavery or 250 years of slavery.
	America didn't become a country until 1787. Slavery ended 1865. That's not 400 years.
	That's not 250 years.
	Government didn't own slaves.
	States didn't own slaves.
	Individuals owned slaves.
	And Obama said that in his view, reparations were justified.
	Of course they were justified.
	to the slaves themselves or to their legal heiress, good luck trying to find them.

	They have quite successfully turned populism into a pejorative, into a negative.
	What are we witnessing around the world in your vocabulary?
	Oh, goodness.
	Even though, how long have you got?
	Even though, you know, Barack Obama, when he came on the scene, they lauded populism.
	And they lauded him running as this populist president.
	And then suddenly, a couple of years later, populism didn't work for them.
	So community organizers are okay, but Donald Trump, populism not.
	Right, correct.
	And he was, it's incredible that I had forgotten that clip.
	It's incredible to go back to that moment.
	Because, of course, what did they say about Donald Trump for the four years after that is that he demanded explicit loyalty from everybody that worked for him.
	Personal loyalty.

	B-A-R-I, by the way.
	She has her own website, and she writes for many other publications.
	She quit the New York Times for the most honorable reason, because she loves freedom.
	And I was dealing with the great issue.
	To me, the greatest issue is why the liberals vote left in an act of mass suicide.
	And so one of the things you mentioned about differences was same-sex marriage, which is entirely accurate.
	That is a difference.
	I just want to tell you for the record that I opposed on religious grounds using the word marriage.
	I never had an issue with partners.
	I know this is quaint sounding to you, and that's fine.
	I don't have an issue.
	But I do want you to know the following.
	First, my wife and I are godparents to gay men's sons.
	In other words, should they die?
	They have entrusted the moral upbringing of their children to my wife and me, though they know we are opposed to same-sex marriage and they are married.
	Because they know that we revere them, we revere their children.
	The same with my niece, who was married to a woman.
	We love them, they love us.
	The fact that one opposes same-sex marriage on religious grounds does not make one a homophobe.
	It makes one opposed to the redefinition of marriage.
	And by the way, one other thing about it.
	When I testified, I didn't even remember this.
	Some left-wing place cited me as saying this, and they were right.
	I said, this will lead to the denial of gender or sex differences.
	Because once you say gender doesn't matter, well then, gender doesn't matter.
	And I was right.
	I was 100% right.
	Same-sex marriage led to the death of gender.
	Because its fundamental argument was, gender doesn't matter.
	And now we're seeing the consequences of gender doesn't matter.
	There were no boys and girls.
	Go ahead.
	I was going to say, and then I would love to also talk about, because I don't want to be a sore winner.
	It's like...
	The gays won the argument on this one.
	Correct.
	I don't think that the fundamental argument was gender doesn't matter.
	I think the fundamental argument was people in a loving relationship who want to raise children should be entitled to the exact same tax breaks, hospital visitation rights, and the rest as a heterosexual couple.
	We can have a much, much longer conversation.
	Right, and it's not necessary.
	By the way, the argument is over.
	Exactly.
	Right.
	So let's talk about...
	Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.
	The reason that it's important is if liberals won't vote Republican because of same-sex marriage, they're fighting a battle that has been won on their side.
	It's over.
	So why don't they fight the battle for America's soul, for America's freedom?
	That's my question to you.
	What stops liberals from voting Republican?
	Well, in the past two elections, it was a man named Donald Trump.
	No?
	Well, okay, that's the debate I had.
	Even that, I don't respect the view, even though there are people I adore like Brett Stephens who hold that view.
	I don't believe that Donald Trump was nearly the threat to this country that the left is.
	I still don't understand that view.
	And I know you hold it, and you're as big a puzzle to me as Brett.
	No, I don't hold the view that...
	I think you can look at my actions, and frankly, the skin in the game that I've displayed, to see what I think, the extent of the threat that I see from the left.
	Yes, I do.
	Listen, I opened up saying you are a rare...
	It's just as rare in men and as in women.
	The idea that I'm like a squish on that subject couldn't be first.
	No, you're not a squish.
	Only all, no, no.
	Neither is Brett Stephens.
	Brett Stephens has courage.
	Wait, was I right in saying...
	I'm sorry, I interrupted you.
	Go ahead.
	No, I was going to say, I think it's a totally coherent position to say...
	We're living in a very unstable time politically and otherwise, in which the center is not holding.
	And in a world in which the center is not holding, again, for any number of reasons that we could get into, there are forces rising, I would argue, on the far right and on the far left that are extremely dangerous to the American ideal and to I mean, I don't want to overstate it, but, like, being able to live together without killing each other.
	All right, hold that point, because I want to talk to you.
	You have three minutes to tell me who is far right that is dangerous.
	Dangerous, not existent, dangerous.
	All right, ladies and gentlemen.
	I never mentioned it, but I lived with nerve pain in my feet for most of my adult life.

	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.
	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, and as I'm walking...
	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.
	Barry Weiss, to talk about her magnificent piece, her City Journal, on what's happening in the toniest of high schools in America, specifically California in this on what's happening in the toniest of high schools in America, And I've been talking to her about the macro issue of liberals not knowing what's threatening, but she is a liberal who does.
	She's not unique.
	She's rare.
	So that's the reason for...
	The amount of time I devoted to that, as soon as possible, I will have you on again.
	I'd like to have you on regularly.
	I have tremendous respect for you.
	I just wanted to explain, we didn't fool you when inviting you to discuss the article.
	I just wanted to make that clear.
	Intellectual honesty demanded that I address some of these subjects.
	Okay, so if it's okay...
	I mean, Dennis, my dad listens to you every day.
	I'm just having a conversation with another version of him and his arguments.
	I guess the last thing I would say about it is, and I'd love to talk about the piece or whatever else that's your show, is that, you know, there's a tension between kind of...
	Staying inside of something and trying to change it from within and exit, right?
	There's that famous book, Exit Voice Loyalty, about it.
	And I guess there's a strategic question, like, is the message to people, you know, peace out, just leave?
	Or is the message like, no, try and change it from within because we need a healthy Democratic Party like we need a healthy Republican Party?
	Or maybe your view is accelerationism and just let it burn because, in your view, it's suicidal.
	Yes, that is my view.
	That's right.
	Listen, I thank God for you.
	You know what?
	You being a Democrat and a liberal is of incredible value to me and to many of us who care about this country.
	I'll give you an example.
	An evangelical Christian...
	A very powerful one said to me once, you know, Dennis, of course, we would love you to come to Christ.
	But to tell you the truth, you're far more valuable to us as a Jew.
	So I would say to you, we'd love to have you come over.
	To a Republican Party, but you're much more valuable to us as a Democrat.
	It's a truly similar, not identical, but similar thing.
	So I'm not trying to make you a Republican.
	I've given up on the Democratic Party.
	I think most liberals will not do a thing within it.
	Nothing.
	There's nothing they can do.
	They have to leave it, just like we have to leave our schools.
	The same fight, and this brings us to your article, the same fight I hear some conservatives say, no, no, no, we have to stay in the schools and fight on school boards.
	You'll lose.
	It's a waste of time.
	The schools must collapse.
	And be rebuilt as educational centers.
	That's my view.
	Your fantastic, unbelievably powerful article, which is up, by the way, folks, at DennisPrager.com, is only a confirmation to me the schools have reached the state of hopelessness.
	Should I respond to that?
	Yes, please.
	Well, one of the reasons, and it's actually incredible, since I published that article, the amount of incoming that I've gotten, not just from other elite, you know, super expensive private schools, but from public school parents and charter school parents, it's like the floodgates have opened.
	So I'm excited to do a lot more on this incredibly important topic.
	But the reason that I wanted to start with the elite schools is, and this is a paradox that I keep encountering, not just with parents, but with lots of people, which is, the paradox kind of goes like this.
	The people that seem to possess the greatest ability to speak out against this illiberal ideology, and I think it needs a better branding.
	Neil Ferguson called it totalitarianism without a dictator that I sort of loved.
	But basically, the people that are The wealthy, the people that actually could afford to move to a different town to pull their kid out of the school and hire a private tutor, they are generally the most scared and the most closeted and the most quiet.
	And I keep finding over and over again that the people with the least insulation are the ones who are generally roaring the loudest.
	One very important example I'm writing about today being this woman, Gabrielle Clark.
	A mother, a biracial woman in Las Vegas until very recently.
	Her and her children, she has five children, were living in transitional housing.
	And when her son was told basically to profess his privilege and his oppressor status in the public charter school democracy prep that he goes to in Las Vegas, he refused.
	And it was part of a graded assignment.
	And most parents would say, oh, just go along with it.
	You're a senior.
	You're about to go to college.
	You've worked so hard.
	We worked so hard to get you into this school, to give you the opportunity.
	And instead, she said, no, this is a violation of my child's First Amendment rights, and they're suing the school.
	And these people are working class.
	These are not people that can afford to go to another school.
	And I just find that paradox itself incredibly interesting.
	And I found it so strange that these parents, you know, forgetting the few that I spoke to who were on financial aid, but these parents who actually do have privilege weren't using it and weren't, you know, weren't being the kind of example that they ostensibly would weren't being the kind of example that they ostensibly would want to be setting for their children.
	And I just find that very strange.
	Affluence plus secularism equals cowardice.
	It's one of my many equations of life.
	Did you just come up with that?
	Yes, but I have a lot of others.
	I just came up with that one, yes.
	But I have another one.
	Boredom plus secularism equals leftism.
	I don't know about that one, but the first one I think I agree with.
	I mean, the way that I've thought about it is, you know, to use the Buckley title, it's like people are worshipping Yale more than they're worshipping...
	God.
	That's right.
	That's correct.
	Well, one of the things that all of these folks have in common that you spoke to in your article, and by the way, I want my listeners to know, I will be devoting next hour to reviewing your article.
	I have marked it up tremendously.
	So, you're free to tune in.
	Or at least your dad can summarize it for you.
	I gotta go interview more parents.
	That's right.
	Hold on, hold on.
	We're going to have a final segment with you.
	One of the things the parents in this piece have in common is they're not religious.
	Religion gives you courage.

	Check out the governor of California.
	Here's Gavin Newsom standing in front of an empty Dodgers Stadium.
	This is an unbelievable sight.
	Because of him, Dodgers 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 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 Latinos are dying from COVID more than any other ethnic group 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 keep up with what's trending subscribe on youtube today 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 family to 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 Hi everybody,
	I'm Dennis Prager, and this is the first of, I promise you, many dialogues with Barry Weiss.
	Now that I know she's in L.A., it'll be in studio, you'll hear her really clearly.
	I want to tell you something that you might find of interest.
	I told just Thursday night, I had dinner with...
	With Dave Rubin and his husband David.
	We're very close with them.
	And we had dinner there.
	And I mentioned to them a phenomenon that has...
	I don't know why it is true, but it is true.
	A disproportionate number of the leading conservative intellectuals are Jews and gays.
	I don't know why.
	It's counterintuitive, but I just thought I would have you put that in your pipe and smoke it, despite the fact that I smoke a pipe and you don't.
	I don't have a pipe.
	Right, I do, so I'll smoke it for you.
	I will think about that.
	Yeah.
	The thing I wanted to pick up on, Dennis, is what you were saying before, that courage comes from religion.
	And, you know, I don't think that, you know, what little courage that I have, 100% comes from Judaism.
	And it's not necessarily God, although I'm not an atheist, but from a sense of what my ancestors sacrificed so that I could have the ability to walk into the New York Times wearing a Jewish star around my neck and to walk out of the New York Times wearing a Jewish star around my neck.
	And that is profound.
	Like, that is the moving source in my life.
	And I think that one of the—and this is, I guess, for another conversation—but I really, really believe that having an anchor that is separate from politics that prevents what I really think of as idol worship, whether it's Trump or AOC, is really believe that having an anchor that is separate from politics that
	And I think it is one of the most pressing problems that we need to figure out a way to solve, because I really think that people that have the anchor of community and religion and a sense of sense of duty and obligation to something bigger than professional prestige or accomplishment or beating or owning or dunking on your enemies are people that have a true north star.
	That's right.
	And I see that in the people that...
	Well, as beautifully said, by the way, one other thing you're going to find in your great travels through life, you're going to start liking conservatives as people.
	That's going to really blow your mind.
	Barry Weiss, you're already there.
	God bless you.
