	Thank you.
	Yins, as they say in Pittsburgh.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	And I am going to devote this hour to you.
	In some sense, every hour is devoted to you, but I think you'll understand what I mean in a moment.
	I would like to hear from you about your children.
	I'd like to know two things.
	If they're young, If they're school age, what have you done?
	And I don't say this in any prosecutorial way.
	I'm simply curious.
	What have you done, if anything?
	Well, you've done something.
	You've not done nothing.
	With regard to the takeover of many schools by a radical ideology that loathes this country, loathes religion.
	Loathes the traditions of the country, loathes the founders, etc.
	Are you sending them to such a school?
	If so, has the school affected your child?
	If you are not sending your child to such a school, what are you in fact doing?
	And if your children are grown, how did they turn out both philosophically?
	No, I won't even do the both.
	I'll inquire as the occasion arises.
	How did they turn out philosophically?
	In other words, and it is other words, how did the American indoctrination system, known as education, affect your child?
	1-8 Prager 776. Let's get a jingle there, 877. It's been a while, ladies and gentlemen, and let's perk up and enjoy each other as we explore one of the most sensitive topics in any human's life, how their children turned out.
	Now, you know, while you're calling in, I just saw something that is a little puzzling to me. I just saw something that is a little puzzling to Thank you.
	My engineer, Triple G, the gentle Gentile giant, was given a thumbs-up sign by the living martyr, who's not effusive in his praise.
	Let's put it that way.
	In fact, he's not effusive.
	So, I want to know why he did that.
	It wasn't...
	A tough thing for our engineer.
	Oh, it's your favorite jingle?
	Really?
	Oh, he's happy you didn't play this.
	I love this.
	See, that's it.
	I'll tell you why.
	I know exactly.
	It is truly in accord with our personalities.
	This is goofy.
	Alan...
	There is a gene for goofiness, and Alan had an antibody at birth.
	The anti-goofy gene.
	It's been isolated, actually.
	Yep, they studied it at Stanford Medical School, and about 1% of the population has an anti-goofy gene.
	No, no, that's right.
	It's the living martyr.
	It's a martyrdom gene.
	I don't know if they come together.
	That'd be interesting, too.
	Most women do not have a...
	Most women have an anti-goofy gene.
	It's usually sex-related.
	Is that fair to say?
	How many goofy women do you meet?
	It's quite rare.
	My wife's not goofy.
	Your wife's not goofy.
	Right?
	Sean's wife is not goofy.
	In fact, Sean's wife is just not.
	Drop goofy.
	You realize we work with a bachelor.
	It's an interesting thought.
	I'm going to call you James from now on, as in James Buchanan, the only bachelor president.
	All right, everybody.
	What has happened?
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you.
	That was beautiful.
	All right.
	I am going to ask what you're doing with your daughters and sons and how they turned out.
	When I meet people, by the way, it's interesting that I feel free to ask them about their kids.
	Which proves, by the way, a very interesting...
	You know what the only thing you can't ask a person about, I think?
	What do you think the last thing a person would reveal to you?
	That's right, their income.
	I think they would, at least with regard to me, because I'm so open and we have a male-female, I think they would tell me about their sex life sooner than they would tell me their income.
	Anyway, I never ask anybody their income.
	On occasion, I will admit, I have asked how much they paid for their house.
	Because I'm so curious about the real estate market, not because I'm inquiring into their financial state.
	All righty, everybody.
	Let's see.
	What are you doing in Aurora, Colorado?
	Doug, hello.
	Dennis Prager.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Yes, sir.
	Very timely topic.
	I actually just got an email this morning from a local private Christian school that we...
	Applied to so we can take our seventh grade son there and Pull him out of public school Wow So do you know if they're being flooded with applications or you're somewhat of an outlier I think I'm an outlier, but I would maybe as a Indicator my daughter who's a sophomore in high school.
	She actually goes to a local Christian high school and Knowing their circumstance, their enrollment has increased dramatically within the last two years.
	And they are actually at capacity in next year's incoming freshman class at that high school will be the highest it's ever been.
	And how does your child feel about leaving the public school?
	He doesn't like it only because the way my son is wired, he's a very social kid.
	He just wants to be part of the action.
	Be part of his buddies and a lot of his friends that he grew up with through elementary school up to the present.
	He knows he's not going to have that daily school interaction with them.
	However, we still live in the same neighborhood, so he'll still be able to socialize and interact with them.
	Anyway, you have decided to be his parent, not his popularity contest winner.
	Yes, yes.
	It's hard, but, you know...
	No kidding.
	Yes.
	Well, okay.
	We should keep tally, alright?
	That was one call for yanking a parent, taking the child from public school into a private, in this case, Christian school.
	Walking into this building, a man came over to me and said, I just want you to know that my son's school shows PragerU videos regularly.
	And, of course, I was so curious.
	It's not uncommon, by the way.
	But still, I wanted to know what school was it, and it turned out to be Christians.
	A Catholic school, specifically.
	a Catholic school.
	I wonder if there's any parent who is frightened, and you should be, and very little frightens me, frightened by what has happened to American education or what has happened to American education. frightened by what has happened to American education or what Who will still keep their child in a school, private or public, by the way.
	I never just isolate public.
	Never.
	Anyway, they will keep them there because they don't want to send their kid to a Christian school because they're not Christian.
	I don't agree with that, by the way.
	I don't agree.
	Between left-wing indoctrination of antinomian ideas of chaos versus a religion, let's say, you don't hold, but teaches the values you do hold, why would you not send your kid to a Catholic school or a Christian school?
	If those are your two choices.
	Alright, go on.
	This is, what's happened to your children?
	Let's go to a person.
	I'm going to go to St. Petersburg, Florida, and a man with four daughters who are grown.
	These are such important and interesting topics.
	As a parent, I have to say, and I hesitate because I don't want to increase any pain you may have.
	That would be a very bad thing.
	But the thought of my children being leftist is a very, very painful thing.
	They are not.
	I mean, if that's the way they turned out.
	Thank you.
	We know that the Media Research Centre did polling and found out among people who voted for Joe Biden, something like 30% didn't know the Hunter Biden story.
	And those that heard about the Hunter Biden story said up to 17% of them would not have voted for Joe Biden if they had known.
	We know for sure.
	This isn't any kind of conspiracy theory.
	We know that journalists interfered with this election in a way that journalists have never interfered with an election in the United States before by suppressing very pertinent information.
	And for your listeners and your viewers, you know, what is that pertinent information?
	And, you know, it's almost like a joke, actually, Eric.
	And I think this film actually, funny enough, will be funny and awfully sad and tragic and has a terrible punch in it.
	But here's some of the details.
	Here's a guy with a drug problem.
	And you know, we're Irish.
	We exported alcoholism around the world.
	We're quite sympathetic to people with addiction issues.
	But here is a guy with a very serious addiction issue.
	He goes to the Navy.
	He gets a special dispensation to go to the Navy as an older guy.
	First day he's there.
	He's thrown out because he got cocaine in his system.
	And his story, his excuse for that, is so ludicrous.
	It's worth telling.
	He says that he stopped off at a bar because he wanted a glass of water.
	He decided he needed a cigarette, went outside, didn't have a cigarette.
	And just randomly, because you know how this is, two South African guys offered him a cigarette laced with cocaine.
	Because you probably know, you live in New York, you see Eric, you'd know how much these cocaine dealers are just handing out that cocaine for free to everyone.
	Yeah, they handed it out for free.
	That's how I got addicted.

	I just got an email about someone who says they have to take mandated racial diversity seminar training or whatever it is.
	And all I have to say is that there is a piece of art, and I don't use that word lightly, that is so perfect, so funny, so politically incorrect, that hits this perfectly.
	It's from the legendary show The Office.
	Now The Office started as an unbelievably politically incorrect show, and then it got into this kind of like quasi-woke thing later on.
	But the episode Diversity Day, with Steve Corral, It's so politically incorrect, especially in today's time.
	I'm just going to tell you something right now.
	If I dared repeat some of the lines here, it wouldn't even be an advertiser boycott.
	It would be an advertiser invasion.
	One of my favorite lines is Steve Corral looks into the...
	Actually, this might be the pilot episode.
	You see...
	I'm not an expert in a lot of things, but I am an expert in the central canon of the first season of The Office, because it all went downhill from there.
	I watched it later.
	The first season of The Office is so well-written, as if they don't care.
	They just said, we are going to swing for the fences, bottom of the ninth, we want this show to catch on, that they just took huge risks.
	Steve Corral famously said, as Abraham Lincoln said, If you are a racist, I will attack you from the north.
	I highly encourage you to check it out because we need to laugh about this stuff a little bit because people are emailing me, Charlie, what do I do about this diversity seminar?
	If you think you have it bad, check out Michael Scott who had to take the diversity class seminar.

	And a reminder, the rates are so low, so unprecedentedly low, that totally commonsensically, if there's such a word, many of you are considering a refi and...
	a cash-out refi.
	And a reverse mortgage, whatever, or of course a new house and a mortgage.
	I have recommended these two guys, Andrew and Todd, at Sierra Pacific Mortgage for now a year.
	They did not stop from the moment of the lockdown.
	I like that.
	They work hard for their income.
	They do a great job.
	That's why they advertise on my show.
	Those who advertise a lot have obviously sold a lot of their product.
	That's by definition the case.
	That's how good they are.
	So give them a call at 888-888-1172, 888-888-1172, or andrewandtodd.com.
	I am devoting this hour to the question of what has happened to your children and what have you done.
	If they're little kids, what school or non-school are you sending them?
	And if they're older, grown, what's happened?
	Alan in St. Petersburg, Florida.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	It's a pleasure.
	Four daughters, 31, 30, 28, 27. Two are very analytical and very conservative, and two are very artistic and very liberal.
	That's how it worked out.
	So, obviously, you called knowing I would ask you some questions.
	When they were all about 12, Because they're close in age.
	Right.
	And I asked you to predict how they turn out this way.
	Would you have been able to?
	Three of the four, yes.
	And one, no.
	One completely turned out my ear.
	No kidding.
	Yes.
	Tell us about that.
	The youngest one started watching Prager University videos.
	He showed all the kids PragerU videos when they were little.
	And I think you were just kind of out of the gate with the whole process.
	And the youngest one started watching things about, you know, how the U.S. government works, civics and stuff like that.
	And it's not what she was getting at school.
	And she started, she's more analytical and she's more inquisitive.
	And she started doing research and she decided it.
	What they were teaching at school was bunk.
	Was it good?
	And she wasn't going to follow that.
	Now, three of my four daughters have been to graduate school as well.
	The youngest one has been to graduate school.
	Well, you said, forgive me, you said one really sort of shocked you.
	That's the one I'm interested in.
	That's the one I'd like to...
	Yes, that's the youngest one.
	Oh, who did watch the videos.
	She watched videos and she was very, very quiet and meek and kind of followed the crowd.
	And then she started watching the videos and then she kind of did more research into it.
	And she read Rush Limbaugh's books and then she said, I am on board with this.
	I am not on board with what's happening on the other side.
	All right.
	Then what happened?
	Well, she went to graduate school and finished medical school.
	and now she's an intern.
	And she's doing very well.
	But she's now on the left.
	No.
	Oh, so I didn't follow.
	Did you follow?
	Neither of us followed here.
	You said one of them shocked you.
	But this one was consistently conservative, so there was no shock.
	Initially, she wasn't.
	Initially, as a younger girl, she was very artistic and quiet and meek.
	So she shocked you in becoming a conservative.
	Right.
	Oh, I see.
	Okay.
	Well, it's a happy shock.
	All right.
	I appreciate that.
	It's interesting.
	I've never asked people that.
	It's a new one for me.
	Would you have predicted when they were 13 or so how they would turn out in terms of their values?
	You might have been able to predict, you know, would they turn out good, decent people with integrity?
	But I don't know.
	Well, anyway, we'll find out.
	Okay.
	Eric in Pasadena, hello.
	Oh, hello.
	It's actually Aaron.
	It's actually Aaron, not Eric?
	Yes, it's Aaron.
	All right, hold on.
	I feel bad, but you don't think it deserves a punishment rule?
	It's close enough?
	Aaron and Eric?
	All right, listen.
	If the living martyr is in, you know, he wants to grant a reprieve.
	Very irrationally benevolent, but go ahead.
	Aaron, thank you for holding on.
	Go ahead.
	Well, I have one son and two daughters.
	My son is no longer in college, but was at Colorado State, Fort Collins.
	And my daughter is currently at Boulder.
	And then my youngest daughter is a sophomore in an all-girls Catholic school.
	And we've always worried about them and the liberal indoctrination going on, especially in Los Angeles County.
	And we've raised them to be very logical and analytical and to kind of look at all sides of an issue, not pushing them one way or the other, although their grandma definitely pushes them on liberal ideology and how, you know, actually Republicans are evil.
	But they're all extremely conservative, and so are their friends.
	And my kids are half Mexican, and so they're, you know, my mom's side of the family are all Democrats and really have kind of, you know, drank the Kool-Aid without looking at the issues in an honest way.
	But it's always felt like, you know, because there's such a push, including in college and in my son's freshman orientation, they told him all men are inherently capable of rape.
	And it's just whether they act on those.
	But ironically, I agree with that.
	Right.
	So it just makes the case for conservatism.
	Given human nature, what are you doing to have people fight against their nature?
	But I would have another question for those people.
	Do women have any miserable instincts?
	Or are they born angelic?
	See, that's my problem.
	Thank you very much.
	See, they're right.
	Men are born with rape instincts, murder instincts, beating instincts, stealing instincts.
	That is correct.
	And, by the way, women are born to love them.
	Not the rapists, necessarily.
	Women have to suppress themselves, and men have to suppress themselves.
	That is the key to a Judeo-Christian education.
	It's ironic.
	See, the left doesn't say things because they believe it.
	They say it because it's a good tactic at the time.
	When I said this about men decades ago, on the radio and in speeches, the left absolutely mocked me.
	Oh, Freaker says, oh man, you know, naturally rape.
	And naturally kill.
	Listen, folks.
	If people do it, it's natural.
	It comes from nature.
	I would imagine people are naturally incestuous.
	Where does it come from otherwise?
	Why is there a ban on it?
	If there's no predisposition toward it.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berger.
	This isn't as some have portrayed it as some kind of spontaneous, random, organic response to Joe Biden being president.
	This is being institutionally organized for the profit of the cartels, correct?
	Absolutely.
	And the cartels understand what our politics and our policies are better than we do as Americans.
	And they knew where Joe Biden was leaning in his administration.
	And they were more than willing and more than ready to help accommodate those people to come across this country.
	Look, they don't just let people come across.
	On the other side, the cartel is regulated.
	They make these people pay.
	They give them children to, hey, here, take this kid across with you.
	They're less likely to stop you.
	So this is something that I want everybody to understand.
	I heard this from my friend, former Commissioner for Customs and Border Protection, Mark Morgan.
	They are using children from the northern counties in Mexico as props.
	So that groups of adults coming across can say, we are a family unit, so the feds have to treat them differently.
	Are you confirming that, Sheriff Lamb?
	Yes, 100%.
	And out in Collin County, Texas, one of my other fellow sheriffs out there, they do interdiction on the highways out there.
	He says no less than three to five times.
	They have actually pulled cars over where the people in the front had no idea who the children in the back were, and the children in the back had no idea who the people in the front were.
	They know what our policies are.
	They're using that against us.
	They're using children, which is despicable.
	And honestly, where are these parents of these people?

	I just get tired of people blaming racism for any time there's statistical differences along race and ethnicity.
	And you brought up the case in point about the NBA and NFL. We as black people, we're overly represented in these areas, and yet we'd never hear boo that that's racist.
	But everywhere else, we scream racism.
	And I just wish that we would just go a little bit deeper in the analysis whenever we see these things.
	What is it in the culture?
	What is it in the way that we're bringing up our children in society that's promoting people to...
	To go into certain areas and occupations, that I feel would be much more useful and helpful rather than just saying, oh, racial inequity or racism.
	I'm saying this as a black woman.
	I attended Ivy League schools and I always felt in the back of my mind, are you judging me because you think I'm here and I didn't deserve it?
	Whenever we do that and we eliminate merit-based systems, it always makes...
	Those of us who are trying to work hard feel like people are judging us as if we didn't work hard to get here.
	Thank you, Larry.
	Bonnie, thank you very much.
	I really do appreciate it.
	I went to an Ivy League school, too.
	My girlfriend was a dancer.
	She tried out to be a cheerleader, and she didn't make it.
	And I went to a game, I think one game, and all the cheerleaders were black, even though virtually all the players were white.
	Merit-based, these white girls, she told me, just couldn't do the steps they were doing.
	But nobody complained.
	Nobody said we ought to have a race-based determination for cheerleaders.
	least we have more white ones.

	is a great idea from Nancy in Chicago who says Dennis should do a show on how the same thing is happening in the workplace about the training they have to go through.
	That is a great idea.
	How do we reward Nancy?
	Do we give her a cigar?
	We already have?
	I'll ask her if she feels rewarded.
	Nancy, do you feel rewarded?
	Hi, Dennis.
	Nancy here.
	I feel rewarded that I could even get through.
	So, yes.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	We're going to do it.
	I want you to know, ideas for shows are gems to me.
	They're like gold or silver.
	Nancy, bless you.
	I really appreciate that.
	What is with your children is the subject of this hour.
	And Erica in Moorpark, California.
	Hi.
	Hi there.
	How are you?
	I'm well, thank you.
	Wonderful.
	I was calling because I have three kids.
	They're 23, 21, and 19 now.
	During my youngest last couple years in high school, we had a bit of a battle.
	He is a wonderfully strong conservative young man, very respectful, very capable, and he was getting harassed at school because of it.
	What does that mean exactly?
	Give me an example of what harassment constitutes, or what constitutes harassment.
	Honestly, he didn't tell me all of it.
	I've heard bits and pieces from other sources.
	Because he didn't want me to worry.
	At one point, he was actually physically attacked because he stood up for the Second Amendment.
	They had a walkout for the schools because of a shooting that had occurred.
	And he and his sister, who was a senior at the time, organized a stand for the Second Amendment student rally as well.
	About eight people attended.
	Eight people.
	Well...
	No, wait.
	So let me understand.
	His school had a walkout?
	What does that mean?
	It was probably about 50 to 60 percent of the kids just stood up and left class and then prescribed time and went out to the fields.
	And my wonderful children stayed in class because they're awesome.
	And the walkout was for...
	Wait, so to protest gun violence?
	To protest guns.
	Not even violence, just guns.
	Guns.
	So they obviously learned nothing that hour?
	Nothing at all.
	I'm just curious.
	That they could get out of school.
	Will they have a walkout next week because Hong Kong has now been taken over by China and there's no more freedom there?
	Nope.
	They don't care.
	Of course.
	Also, they're not in school.
	Yes, exactly.
	How did you succeed with your children?
	Oh, geez.
	A lot of prayer.
	I don't know, honestly.
	No, no.
	I want you to know there's a great deal of truth to your answer.
	That's correct.
	There is no magic bullet.
	There is no magic bullet.
	I know how people can increase the odds that their kids will have good values.
	But if you send them, and even if they imbibe it through social media, obviously, through movies, through television, everything, in addition to school.
	And here's the thing.
	It's the default position.
	Leftism is the default position.
	America is a racist cesspool is the given.
	To stand up to that one of the greatest lies in history, in recorded history, takes courage, and courage is a rare thing, so you don't know.
	It's like my parents.
	They were married 69 years, together 72. If you'd asked them, what's the secret?
	And they were happily married.
	What's the secret to a long and happy marriage?
	They would have said, luck.
	And they would have been right.
	They found the right person for each other at the age of 19 and 18. That's luck.
	All right.
	What's with your children?
	I appreciate it.
	That's the subject here.
	And look, with all the acknowledgement of luck, Look, there's luck whether you're hit by a drunk driver, but it doesn't mean you don't drive carefully.
	You still raise your children carefully, which is something I hope I can convey every show and, of course, through my writings.
	I'm just speaking about me.
	There are so many other great things.
	And the PragerU videos.
	Now, I want to talk to you about a product that I actually asked.
	To advertise on the show, to my delight, they said yes, because I had what a lot of people have, nerve-tingling pins and needles in my feet.
	Many have it in their hands.
	Finally, I got inserts.
	They worked, at least when they were in the shoe, not when I took them off.
	Then I read about Nerve Renew.
	Nine months later, I got rid of my inserts.
	I'm not wearing them now.

	The Congressional Budget Office just released its new debt figures.
	The national debt this year will top 102% of GDP. This has only happened twice before, both during World War II. This number does not count the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, nor does it count the money which was borrowed from Social Security, since that's considered intergovernmental debt.
	Debt levels this high break the intergenerational covenant that we have with our children and grandchildren.
	FDR borrowed to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan.
	Money well spent.
	Reagan borrowed to defeat the Soviet Union.
	That was also money well spent.
	These great projects made the world better for future generations.
	But our political class is not buying victories against international threats.
	They are buying political victories for incumbents.
	This is nothing more than fiscal abuse.
	And our kids will pay the price.
	It needs to stop.

	Cut 91. Well, I think we thought too well of the United States.
	We thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols.
	So for China, it was necessary that we make our position clear.
	So let me say here that in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of the United States does not have the qualification to say that You understand what they're saying here?
	They're saying that, oh, the United States doesn't have a position of strength.
	You mean after you destroyed our manufacturing base, debased our currency, spied on our cyber grid?
	They're lecturing us about strength.
	In one sense, they're right.
	But the fact that they have the cockiness to say that goes to show exactly where the international order is headed.
	And I'm going to tell you one thing that we should all be talking about when it comes to Joe Biden in China that we just seem to be forgetting and missing.

	Hey, everybody.
	I want to remind you that March is fundraising month.
	It is the 25th through the 31st.
	Whatever you give will be tripled.
	Some generous people have made that possible.
	You hear about people showing it to their kids, some schools showing it.
	The videos are very powerful.
	And if you love this country and love liberty, it's a very well-spent dollar.
	You mean the video I made yesterday?
	It'll be coming out before Father's Day.
	I made a video.
	I only do one out of ten.
	I just want to make that clear.
	Nine-tenths of the videos are made by other people, but I make a tenth of them.
	And I made one yesterday on the importance of fathers.

	Beth, Atlanta, Georgia.
	Hello.
	Hi there.
	How are you, Dennis?
	I'm well, thank you.
	I'm so happy to be talking to you.
	Good, good.
	So, we have had an interesting experience.
	I have three girls, elementary age, and we moved our oldest child in third grade to private school because she needed a smaller situation in her classroom.
	And the other two were thriving in our elementary school.
	And although we're in DeKalb County, which is the third largest county in Georgia, Very diverse, very politically charged county.
	In our little community, we felt like everything was going smoothly, even though we knew, you know, some of these other things were going on, but we felt like what we could control at home to influence our children mattered most.
	But then when the pandemic hit and the schools closed...
	I got very involved over the summer when they were looking at, you know, what they were going to do and started peeling back the layers, actually started a Facebook group for parents who wanted their kids to go back to school and uncovered, you know, by peeling back the onion, just the layers of politics.
	And racism against white people, actually.
	How did you peel off these layers of the onion?
	Because of Zoom?
	So, it's interesting.
	I started listening to our school board meetings.
	And honestly, I never got involved in local politics.
	I've always listened to you.
	You know, been very, you know...
	Vocal, but I never got involved on a local level and paid attention because everything just seemed fine.
	You know, like we were moving along doing fine.
	But then when I started paying attention and hearing the comments of some of the people on the school board and then reading commentary on, you know, Facebook groups and whatnot, I became completely outraged and wasn't going to sit back.
	And let this happen.
	Alright, so because of time, I've got to push you to the end.
	What happened at the end?
	Did you keep your kid in the school or not?
	No, I moved my two others to private school, and I'll tell you, it's a humongous financial burden on our family, and every year we just say we're going to figure out how to make this work, because my kids will never step foot in our county schools ever again.
	She went to school board meetings.
	I think everybody should.
	There's something.
	I'm not even asking you to speak up.
	But become aware of what is being done.
	I mean, I'd love you to speak up.
	That's a good answer, too.
	All right, y'all.
	Well...
	Kara in Chicago, hello.
	Hello, Kara.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	So, thank you for taking my call.
	Kind of touching on your last caller, pre-pandemic, you know, our school, private Catholic school outside of a suburb in Chicago, we had sensitivity training.
	How to be sensitive to the African-American culture.
	Okay, that sounds great.
	Meanwhile, my daughter is being bullied by an African-American student, and nothing was done.
	End of age happens, forced to e-learn, which was one of the biggest tragedies ever, to hit our children in this country and in this world, for that matter.
	And my son left kindergarten not reading.
	Complete and utter failure.
	I decided that I would take on the task of homeschooling all four of my children from three, seven, 11th and 8th grade.
	I could cry right now because my daughter and so many other kids, they didn't get to graduate.
	They don't get to do these things.
	And even, you know, the school was so happy that we left because they were able to get rid of our spot.
	No problem.
	But that's still a problem because they are still indoctrinating our kids.
	And my kids, I can tell you, they are smarter.
	They are happier.
	They are so much more well-rounded than they have ever been.
	And it's the best thing that could have ever happened in a weird way because I know my kids will be so much better for it.
	I'm glad.
	I'm going to raise this topic repeatedly.
	I need other parents to hear this.
	So let's mark this down.
	I need to do an hour on...
	How did you adjust to homeschooling?
	Was it a rupture in your life?
	I think people are intimidated, thinking that's all they'll do all day, is teach kids.
	It's not true.
	But what it entails needs to be explored.
	I could cry, too, at how well your kids turned out.
	There's no such thing as perfect, but I will tell you that my experience with homeschooled kids has been so positive.
	You know what?
	They are happier.
	That's right.
	And you know what they're not?
	They're not jaded.
	They still have the proper innocence a child should have.

	I've often said, prior to PragerU ever existing, I don't know how you raise a kid without bribes.
	Anyway, why not?
	I don't understand.
	Why not?
	The issue isn't, are they doing it out of love of it?
	That is such romantic drivel.
	The issue is, are they doing it?
	That's why people do work.
	If you shovel snow like I did for $8 today, that would be equivalent to about $55.

	Melissa in Prescott, Arizona.
	Hello.
	Hi, how are you?
	I'm well, thank you.
	Okay.
	I have a son and a daughter.
	My daughter is 33 years old and my son is 43 years old.
	He turned out to be very conservative, never got involved in anything until recently with all the political situation going on, and he's just an avid conservative.
	My daughter, on the other hand, and I think it's more of a personality thing than a school thing, has turned out to be the ultra, ultra-left, and to the point where she's a bully.
	It's really driving a wedge between us, especially me, not so much my husband.
	But I didn't notice anything in school.
	I was pretty involved with her schooling.
	Is she married?
	No, never been married.
	I don't think she ever will.
	She doesn't want to have children.
	And I think that's part of the problem.
	Is she happy?
	I think she is.
	She's a complainer.
	She's always unhappy about everything that's going on around her.
	Yeah, that's an interesting question.
	I'd love to talk to her.
	Oh, God.
	We can't pay for guests, but I would pay to talk to her.
	That's a big question to me.
	Are these people happy?

	What is the reality for you and your deputies when it comes to the last 58 days in America?
	Have things changed for you when it comes to illegal migration in your county, Sheriff?
	Oh, absolutely.
	And it's been a disastrous change.
	It is not a change that we welcomed or are enjoying, that's for sure.
	You know, immediately overnight, we started having, I mean, the last two months, we've had 40-plus pursuits where they end in a bailout, which means that they run from us, they stop, everybody bails out of the vehicle into the desert.
	Typically, they'll leave somebody behind.
	Like, we had one where 12 people bailed out of the car, and they left a 16-year-old Guatemalan girl behind because they know that we're going to have to deal with this unaccompanied minor.
	Well, all of them go free into this country.
	Last Wednesday alone, we had 49 apprehensions in one day.
	It's not uncommon for us to go out and have 20 apprehensions.
	And mind you, I'm 60 miles off the border.
	That's how far they're infiltrating into our country.
	Camouflage closed.
	They don't want to be caught.
	And here's what I, and I know I'm kind of running on and I'll give you a second.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Our listeners, our viewers need to know.
	So you tell us what's changed.
	You know, and what I keep telling people, this isn't about immigration anymore.
	This is about human trafficking and drug trafficking into this country.
	And if you care about human beings, it shouldn't matter what party you are.
	If you care about protecting those people, then you should absolutely care about border security because...
	The cartel is using these people to gain money.

	The Congressional Budget Office just released its new debt figures.
	The national debt this year will top 102% of GDP.
	This has only happened twice before, both during World War II.
	This number does not count the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, nor does it count the money which was borrowed from Social Securities, since that's considered intergovernmental debt.
	Debt levels this high break the intergenerational covenant that we have with our children and grandchildren.

	The Democrats are trying to ram through the H.R.1 bill and the Equality Act.
	Can you say a little bit about that?
	I think the reason why there's so many distractions in the country right now is because that's exactly what they've been doing.
	Since the second they certified Joe Biden in as President of the United States, everyone has seen it.
	They've been forcing one radical program after another.
	The most radical program is their number one piece of legislation of choice, and it's this.
	It is to ensure that they institutionalize all the tactics that were used in this last election.
	That's exactly what the Democrats want to put in power.
	Why do they want to do that?
	Well, right now, they're the one power and party.
	They run the House.
	They run the Senate.
	They run the White House.
	They want to keep it that way.
	And in order to keep it that way, they want to put bizarre election practices that are against the Constitution of the United States.
	They want to put that in place because they want outcome-based elections.
	They want to predetermine who will be in power.
	And then these few elites will decide the laws that we live under, what our nation looks like.
	We'll be working for them.
	They won't be working for us anymore.
	Make sure that that's clear.
	We'll be working for them.
	So what they're going to do is federalize all the elections.
	So the states are on a mad dash right now to clean up all the messes of this last election.
	But in this legislation, believe it or not, Eric, they appoint someone in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice to sue any state who tries to put election integrity in place so that you can know that your vote actually is going to count.

	All right.
	Anyway, until then, let's continue what I started last hour.
	What are you doing and what has happened to your child?
	If your kids are in school, what are you doing?
	Are you homeschooling?
	Are you keeping them where they are?
	You're changing schools.
	And if they are, let's say, college or older, how have they turned out in terms of values?
	This has truly been fascinating to me.
	All righty, everybody.
	And let's see.
	Did I? Yeah, I spoke to Melissa.
	That's right.
	Okay.
	Thank you, Melissa.
	That's right.
	That's with the daughter.
	I'd like to note something that was noted in the last call where in passing she said, you know, I don't know if it was as much the education as my daughter's personality.
	I knew in graduate school, I remember...
	Coming to the absolute conviction that half of the reason people take a position politically is psychological.
	That's why it's so hard to use reason.
	Reason doesn't affect the psyche.
	Reason affects the mind.
	Okay, let's see then what...
	I'll give Glenn one more chance in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

	Okay, I don't know what happened.
	I didn't hear you, I'm sorry.
	Oh, then it might have been our fault.
	Poor Glenn, I got rid of him.
	Yeah.
	All right, go ahead.
	I have two kids, ages 15 and 13, and we initially pulled them actually out of private school about six years ago and have been homeschooling ever since.
	Now, we pulled them out due to the amount of homework.
	I did not agree with...
	Oh, bravo to you.
	Bravo, bravissimo.
	It is idiotic.
	That's correct.
	I'm actually a former public school teacher who didn't really assign much homework aside from maybe some reading.
	So I had experience and could speak to it.
	We pulled them out of...
	The private school and have been homeschooling ever since.
	And I would just really encourage people to see that Zoom schooling is not homeschooling.
	You know, kids are not meant to be on the computer every day multiple hours.
	My children take classes online, but it's not something that happens daily.
	And we work PragerU videos into our curriculum.
	My kids are partial to Will Witt, probably because of their ages and his age.
	And I would thank you.
	Oh, those PragerU videos are fantastic, all of them.
	You know, I think I'm raising critical thinkers who, right now, lean conservative, probably because of our views.
	But I want people to know that...
	In a sentence or two...
	Tell me, how difficult is it to transition to homeschooling?
	I think a lot of people are afraid that they're going to be home with their kids all day and stuck.
	And that's not the case.
	It is a transition.
	Some days are harder than others, for sure, still, after six years.
	But if you think, this is how I think of it.
	We have our children at home for such a short time of their lives.
	What a great point.
	Why would I want them to be raised by someone else?
	Oh, man.
	Oh, God.
	I want to give you a wisdom kiss, not a wisdom tooth.
	Yeah, a wisdom hug.
	I don't know if you do it without a mask.
	I mean, there's a whole procedure, you know.
	I'd have to wash my hands first.
	I understand.
	But nevertheless, I'd like to give you a hug.
	Raising children is the example of those who sow in tears, reap in joy.
	Not always.
	You can sow in tears and reap in tears.
	It can happen.
	But that's such a valid point, wanting others to raise them.
	That's, in effect, what a large part of Sending them to private or public school is a statement of.
	Well, that's a good one.
	Nancy of Atlanta.
	This is the famous Nancy of Atlanta.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I listen to you every day.
	Thank you.
	I was going to call and say that I have a 41-year-old daughter who's very liberal.
	She's an attorney, and my 38-year-old son is extraordinarily conservative.
	He's an engineer, and I blame it on the atmosphere that they were subjected to in college.
	What college?
	She went to Boston College, and he went to Clemson.
	And his friends are very conservative, good family people, married with children.
	Her friends are liberal, and most of them went to Ivy League, and about half of them are married, half of them aren't.
	Is your daughter married?
	She's actually getting married in July.
	She's 41 for the first time.
	Will you be at the wedding?
	Oh, absolutely.
	No, no.
	That's why I laughed when I asked.
	Good.
	That I'm happy to hear.
	How do you get along?
	You know, we really try hard, and she's a very kind person.
	She tries not to engage in controversy.
	But after the last election, I honestly, I was so disappointed in the fact that she voted the way she did.
	I actually wrote her a long letter explaining why I was disappointed.
	But we get along very well.
	You know what I would like?
	I wrote a column with 32 questions to ask a relative or friend.
	None of them are aggressive.
	32 questions to determine are they liberal or left.
	So look that up.
	It's on my website.
	It's at Town Hall, Daily Wire.
	It's all over the place.
	And send it to your daughter.
	It's not an angry thing.
	And it would be a very...
	She might turn out to be liberal and not left, and then there's certainly a hope for her in that way.
	But enjoy the wedding and congratulations.
	I think that a lot of people don't realize that we conservatives think the following.
	I think I told the story on the air, but...
	The last thing I expect is you to remember all my stories.
	So, about three years ago, I think it was Philadelphia Airport for some reason, and I'm stopped regularly at airports for selfies or thank you, whatever.
	A tall, handsome young guy stops me, and I'd say even about my height, 6'4".
	It's very rare that a tall person looks the person in the eye so you remember the conversation.
	Anyway, he says, I just want you to know how much I love your work.
	And it was a tiny, he spoke perfect English, but it was a tiny accent.
	I go, where are you from?
	He goes, Norway.
	And so, oh, you're a Norwegian conservative?
	I mean, then he said, I don't know if I'm conservative.
	I just think clearly.
	And that made such an impact on me.
	That's all you have to be.
	If you think clearly, you end up a conservative.
	That's definitional.

	She's admitting that just because he was taken alive, she used prejudice and stereotypes to categorize him as a violent white man.
	But this sort of bigotry and this sort of over-racialization of every single incident is intentional.
	Barack Hussein Obama, the former president of the United States, Came out and said that what happened in Boulder is because of racism and misogyny.
	I'm paraphrasing.
	That's the essence of his remarks.
	Tucker Carlson went after Barack Obama last evening, calling him a racial arsonist.
	I am not saying this, but I, the living modern, do not.
	I don't because I know how valuable this is.

	I really like this, I'm telling you. - Come on.
	It's hard for me to start speaking because I'm sort of dancing in my chair.
	It's the only place I like dancing is in my chair.
	Gotta admit that.
	I love bringing to your attention conservative films because a number of them are really good and of course they don't get much attention but we have to encourage this and enjoy it.
	Believe it or not, are you ready?
	An evangelical comedy.
	That's a first.
	I'm close enough to my evangelical friends to rib them.
	We don't generally associate evangelicals with knee-slapping joke-telling, correct?
	Yet there is such a film-out call.
	It's called Church People.
	The executive producer is MyPillow founder, Mike Lindell.
	It's got great actors in it.
	And it's about a guy sides, America's youth pastor, realizes he's stuck in a megachurch marketing machine.
	Anyway, it's very funny.
	And it is available at SalemNow.com.
	It's called Church People.
	And by the way, it's absolutely a positive gospel message as well.
	Church people at SalemNow.com.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Yeah.
	I hope that's positive in your life.
	And the question on the table is, if your kids are older, how do they turn out?
	And if your kids are young, what are you doing with them, education-wise?
	Alright, some of the calls are not on that, so I'm going to just...
	Politely let you go.
	I want to just talk about schooling and how your kids turned out.
	Springfield, Illinois.
	Jay.
	Hello, Jay.
	Hi.
	How are you doing?
	Good.
	Thanks.
	I've been a fan of your show for a couple years now.
	I've been in public education, and I still currently am, for 28 years.
	My parents were both public.
	I have education teachers.
	I have aunts and uncles.
	My whole family, basically.
	But I have four children starting at the age of first grade, third grade, fifth grade, and sixth grade.
	And my wife and I have recently just applied this year to send them to a private Christian school.
	I'm tired of...
	I'm actually disgusted at my own school district with some of the things that have been changing.
	We're a strong Christian family, and we know that it's up to my wife and I ultimately to pass our faith along to our children, but we want to get them into a faith-based schooling and out of this ridiculousness that's going on right now.
	So why didn't you do this earlier since you're a committed Christian?
	Well, you know, we look at each other and we say, why didn't we?
	A big part of that is my wife stays at home.
	And we've been blessed to be able to do that, but the cost was a big factor.
	We finally decided to not let that hold us back, and we've applied, and I think we're going to get...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	One second.
	I want to get...
	Oops.
	Got a couple of issues here.
	Let me get back to you, Jay.
	Yeah, so go on.
	So...
	No, it looks like we're going to get some aid and be able to send them.
	And it's something for the past couple years.
	It's been difficult for me because, like I said, my family's grown up in public education as teachers.
	That is fascinating.
	That is, that you have a heritage of public school teaching.
	They've been taken over.
	By the way, a lot of private schools have been taken over.
	Just keep re-emphasizing that to you.
	Well, all right.
	I thank you for your call.
	And let's see.
	I think, Melissa, didn't I, in Arizona, didn't I get to the end of your story or were you cut off?
	I was cut off.
	You went on break and said we were going to continue.
	I was talking about my daughter.
	I have my son who's conservative and my daughter who is extreme liberal.
	To the point where it's putting a wedge between us and she's single.
	She will never get married.
	She will never have children.
	And in my case, I think that she probably got brainwashed by partly the media and the friends that she took on after she left school.
	Wait, so how old is she?
	She's 33. What if I met her at 23?
	What would she have been like?
	She was a normal person.
	She was working.
	What if I'd have asked her at 23, would you like to eventually get married and have children?
	What would she have said?
	Never.
	So she had a predilection towards leftism from the beginning.
	She did.
	And that's why I'm saying it's personality.
	That's right, yes.
	There is some personality in there versus just being taught something as well.
	I'll ask you a crazy question.
	Do you now, looking back and knowing her personality, think you could have done anything?
	Honestly, I could have maybe helped a little bit, but I don't think so.
	Right, okay.
	This is, I want to make this clear, there's no comparison here.
	Are we ready with the President?
	Okay, let's go to the president's press conference.
	Thank you.
	And today, we made a historic investment in reaching the hardest hit and we made a historic investment in reaching the hardest hit and the most vulnerable communities, the highest risk communities, as a consequence of the virus, by investing an additional $10 billion in being able to reach
	I also set a goal before I took office of getting a majority of schools in K through 8 fully open in the first 100 days.
	Now, thanks to the enormous amount of work done by our administration, educators, parents, local state education officials and leaders, recent Department of Education survey shows that nearly half...
	All right, we're taking a break.
	break and back with the president's conference and I'll summarize what you missed trending now on the Hugh Hewitt show you for listening to the you know it's your I'm glad to welcome back Dr. Tony Fauci.
	Good morning, Dr. Fauci.
	How are you?
	Good morning, Hugh.
	How are you doing?
	I'm great.
	I want to dive first into the science, Dr. Variants.
	When will you expect to reach stability with the virus?
	Meaning that...
	You are sure it cannot evolve into something more deadly or more contagious or more evasive than the current vaccines can cope with.
	You know, Hugh, you'll never reach that as long as there's virus circulating in the community.
	Viruses don't mutate unless they replicate.
	If you prevent their replication by suppressing the spread in the community, at that point you'll reach the area where you're talking about, where it's not going to change any.
	But as long as there's, like right now, we have in our own country about 50,000 new infections each day.
	With that much viral dynamics going on, there's always the threat and the reality of the evolution of variants.
	So the best way to stop this is to just suppress the virus to a very, very low level.
	Is there any evidence?
	Any of the variants that we know of yet have become more dangerous for children than the original or the variants?
	You know, there is a suggestion that one of them is easily infecting children.
	Children are way, way off on the side of the chart where there's very little hospitalization.
	But some of the variants, if they have the capability of infecting children more readily, you're ultimately going to see more serious disease in children.
	Keep up with what's trending.

	The Congressional Budget Office just released its new debt figures.
	The national debt this year will top 102% of GDP.
	This has only happened twice before, both during World War II.
	This number does not count the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, nor does it count the money which was borrowed from Social Security, since that's considered intergovernmental debt.
	Debt levels this high break the intergenerational covenant that we have with our children and grandchildren.
	FDR borrowed to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan.
	Money well spent.
	Reagan borrowed to defeat the Soviet Union.
	That was also money well spent.
	These great projects made the world better for future generations.
	But our political class is not buying victories against international threats.
	They are buying political victories for incumbents.
	This is nothing more than fiscal abuse, and our kids will pay the price.
	It needs to stop.

	Well, The Democrats are trying to ram through the H.R.1 bill and the Equality Act.
	Can you say a little bit about that?
	I think the reason why there's so many distractions in the country right now is because that's exactly what they've been doing.
	Since the second they certified Joe Biden in as President of the United States, everyone has seen it.
	They've been forcing one radical program after another.
	The most radical program is their number one piece of legislation of choice, and it's this.
	It is to ensure that they institutionalize all the tactics that were used in this last election.
	That's exactly what the Democrats want to put in power.
	Why do they want to do that?
	Well, right now, they're the one power and party.
	They run the House.
	They run the Senate.
	All right, we're going to go back.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	We're going to go back to the president's press conference.
	And I'll tell you what you might have missed during the break.
	But let's hear it live.
	Without any Republican votes.
	Pretty big deal.
	Got passed.
	Growing the economy.
	People's lives are changing.
	So let's see what happens.
	All I know, I've been hired to solve problems.
	To solve problems, not create division.
	Okay, how about Yamiche?
	Thanks so much, Mr. President.
	You've said over and over again that immigrants shouldn't come to this country right now.
	This isn't the time to come.
	That message is not being received.
	Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and entrusting you with unaccompanied minors.
	How do you resolve that tension?
	And how are you choosing which families can stay and which can go, given the fact that even though with Title 42, there are some families that are staying?
	Is there a timeline for when we won't be seeing these overcrowded facilities run by CPB when it comes to unaccompanied minors?
	Well, look, I guess I should be flattered.
	People are coming because I'm the nice guy.
	That's the reason why it's happening.
	That I'm a decent man, or however it's phrased.
	That's why they're coming, because Biden's a good guy.
	Truth of the matter is, nothing has changed.
	As many people came, 28% increase in children to the border.
	In my administration, 31% in the last year of 2019, before the pandemic, in the Trump administration.
	It happens every single solitary year.
	There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March.
	It happens every year.
	In addition to that, there is a...
	And nobody, and by the way, does anybody suggest that there was a 31% increase under Trump because he was a nice guy?
	And he was doing good things at the border?
	That's not the reason they're coming.
	The reason they're coming is that it's the time they can travel with the least likelihood of dying on the way because of the heat in the desert, number one.
	Number two, they're coming because of the circumstances in country.
	In country.
	The way to deal with this problem, and I started to deal with it back when I was a United States Vice President, putting together a bipartisan plan of over $700 million to do with the root causes of why people are leaving.
	What did Trump do?
	He eliminated that funding.
	He didn't use it.
	He didn't do it.
	And in addition to that, what he did, he dismantled all the elements that exist.
	To deal with what had been a problem and has continued to be a problem for a long time.
	He, in fact, shut down the number of beds available.
	He did not fund HHS to get people to get the children out of those border patrol facilities where they should not be and not supposed to be more than a few days, a little while.
	But he dismantled all of that.
	So what we're doing now is attempting to rebuild, rebuild the system that can accommodate what is happening today.
	And I'd like to think it's because I'm a nice guy, but it's not.
	It's because of what's happened every year.
	Let me say one other thing on this.
	If you take a look at the number of people who are coming, the vast majority...
	The overwhelming majority of people coming to the border and crossing are being sent back.
	Are being sent back.
	Thousands, tens of thousands of people who are over 18 years of age and single people, one at a time coming, have been sent back, sent home.
	We're sending back the vast majority of the families that are coming.
	We're trying to work out now with Mexico their willingness to take more of those families back.
	But that's what's happening.
	They're not getting across the border.
	And those who are coming across the border who are unaccompanied children were moving rapidly to try to put in place what was dismantled, as I said.
	For example, of all the children who are coming across the border, over 70% are either 16 or 17 years old.
	We're not talking about people ripping babies from mother's arms or little three-year-olds standing on the border.
	Less than, I think, it's one and a half percent fall in the category of the very young.
	So what we're doing is we're providing for the space, again, to be able to get these kids out of the border patrol facilities, which no child, no one should be in any longer than 72 hours.
	And today...
	I went to, for example, I used all the resources available to me, went to the Defense Department, and the Secretary of Defense has just made available Fort Bliss 5,000 beds be immediately available, 5,000 beds in the Texas border.
	So we're building back up the capacity that should have been maintained and built upon that Trump dismantled.
	It's going to take time.
	And the other thing we're doing, I might add, am I giving you too long an answer?
	Because if you don't want the detail...
	No, no, but I mean, I don't know how much detail you want about immigration.
	Maybe I'll stop there and for you.
	My follow-up question is, one, if you could talk a little bit about which families, why they're being allowed to stay, what the families that are being allowed to stay, why they're being allowed to stay.
	In addition to that, when it comes to the filibuster, which is what Zeke was asking about, immigration is a big issue, of course, when it relates to the filibuster, but there's also Republicans who are passing bill after bill trying to restrict voting rights.
	Chuck Schumer's...
	The nature of the questions...
	This is Jerry Boyer of Town Hall Finance for townhall.com.

	Well, right now, they're the one power and party.
	They run the House, they run the Senate, they run the White House.
	They want to keep it that way.
	And in order to keep it that way, they want to put bizarre election practices that are against the Constitution of the United States.
	They want to put that in place because they want outcome-based elections.
	They want to predetermine who will be in power.
	And then these few elites will decide the laws that we live under, what our nation looks like.
	We'll be working for them.
	They won't be working for us anymore.
	Make sure that that's clear.
	We'll be working for them.
	So what they're going to do is federalize all the elections.
	So the states are on a mad dash right now to clean up all the messes of this last election.
	But in this legislation, believe it or not, Eric, they appoint someone in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.
	To sue any...
	The statistics, but you probably know them, that it used to be that from between 1917 and 1971, the filibuster existed.
	There were a total of 58 motions to break a filibuster.
	That whole time.
	Last year alone, There were five times that many.
	So it's being abused in a gigantic way.
	And for example, it used to be you had to stand there and talk and talk and talk and talk until you collapsed.
	And guess what?
	People got tired of talking and tired of collapsing.
	Filibusters broke down and we were able to break the filibuster, get a quorum and vote.
	So I strongly support moving in that direction.
	In addition to having an open mind about...
	Dealing with certain things that are just elemental to the functioning of our democracy.
	Like the right to vote.
	Like the basic right to vote.
	We've amended the filibuster in the past.
	But here's the deal.
	As you've observed, I'm a fairly practical guy.
	I want to get things done.
	I want to get them done consistent with what we promise the American people.
	And in order to do that, in a 50-50 Senate, we've got to get to the place where I get 50 votes so that the Vice President of the United States can break the tie, or I get 51 votes without her.
	And so, I'm going to say something outrageous.
	I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate.
	So the best way to get something done, if it holds near and dear to you that you...
	I'd like to be able to...
	Anyway.
	We're ready to get a lot done.
	And if we have to, if there's complete lockdown and chaos as a consequence of the filibuster, then we'll have to go beyond what I'm talking about.
	Okay.
	Hang on.
	Sorry.
	Oh.
	Sing Me.
	Ms. Kim.
	Thank you, Mr. President.
	To follow up on the filibuster, so do you believe it should take 60 votes to end a filibuster on legislation, or 51?
	If we could end it with 51, we would have no problem.
	You're going to have to, the existing rule, it's going to be hard to get a parliamentary ruling that allows 50 votes to end the filibuster, the existence of a filibuster.
	But it's not my expertise in what the parliamentary rules and how to get there are, but our preoccupation with the filibuster is totally legitimate.
	But in the meantime, we've got a lot we can do while we're talking about what we're going to do about the filibuster.
	Let me get here.
	Okay.
	I hope you note the challenging questions.
	I'd like to circle back to immigration, please.
	You just listed the reasons that people are coming, talking about in-country problems, saying that it happens every year.
	You blamed the last administration.
	Sir, I just got back last night from a reporting trip to the border where I met nine-year-old Jose, who walked here from Honduras by himself, along with another little boy.
	He had that phone number on him and we were able to call his family.
	His mother says that she sent her son to this country because she believes that you are not deporting unaccompanied minors like her son.
	That's why she sent him alone from Honduras.
	So sir, you blame the last administration, but is your messaging in saying that these children are and will be allowed to stay in this country and work their way through this process, encouraging families like Josel's to come.
	Well, look, the idea that I'm going to say, which I would never do, that if an unaccompanied child ends up at the border, we're just going to let him starve to death and stay on the other side.
	No previous administration did that either, except Trump.
	I'm not going to do it.
	I'm not going to do it.
	That's why I've asked the Vice President of the United States yesterday to be the lead person on dealing with Focusing on the fundamental reasons why people leave Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador in the first place.
	It's because of earthquakes, floods.
	It's because of lack of food.
	It's because of gang violence.
	It's because of a whole range of things.
	That when I was vice president and had the same obligation to deal with unaccompanied children, I was able to get it slowed up significantly by working with the heads of state of those communities to do things like in one of the major cities, the reason people were leaving is they couldn't walk the street because their kids were getting beat up or shot or gang violence.
	Well, what I was able to do is not give money to the head of state because so many are corrupt.
	But I was able to say, okay, you need lighting in the streets to change things?
	I'll put the lighting in.
	We got a contractor.
	We got the type of lighting.
	We paid directly to the contractor.
	It did not go through the government.
	And violent crime significantly was reduced in that city.
	Fewer people sought to leave.
	When this hurricane occurred, the two hurricanes, instead of us going down and helping in a major way, So that people would not have a reason to want to leave in the first place because they didn't have housing or water or sustenance.
	We did nothing.
	We're going to do a lot in our administration.
	We're going to be spending that 700 plus million dollars a year to change the life and circumstances of why people leave in the first place.
	That mother did not sit around on the kitchen table and say, you know, I got a great idea.
	Where I'm going to make sure my son get taken care of is I'm going to put...
	How old was he?
	Or she?
	He's nine.
	I also met a ten-year-old.
	A nine-year-old.
	I'm going to send him on a thousand-mile journey across the desert and up to the United States because I know Joe Biden's a nice guy and he'll take care of him.
	What a desperate act to have to take.
	The circumstances must be horrible.
	So we can do something about that.
	That's what the Vice President is going to be doing.
	What I did.
	When President Obama asked me to come and deal, I was in Turkey at the time.
	He said, you got to come home and take care of this.
	So we put together a plan and it had an impact.
	And so the question here is whether how we go ahead and do this.
	What we do.
	There's no easy answer.
	Quick follow-up, if I may.
	Do you want to see these unaccompanied minors staying in this country, or should they be deported eventually?
	I've got to find out who this woman is.
	I've got to give her an award.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Kroker.
	To what level did illegal migration drop to when you were in charge?
	And what should Americans, the millions listening to this show today, what should they know has occurred in the last 60 days, Mark?
	Yeah, so just really quick.
	So let me walk through.
	Pre-COVID, in February of 2020, the overall illegal immigration flow had reduced by 75%.
	The first few months into COVID, it reduced even further.
	And then, the president's wrong on this, is that we saw the numbers steadily incline, which we anticipated, not because of the natural disasters or hurricanes, but because of COVID. Because COVID decimated and drove worsening economic conditions in the Western Hemisphere, and we all know that's what drives illegal immigration.
	And so we saw the numbers steadily increase.
	But then when the election hit and Biden won, the numbers didn't just increase.
	Skyrocketed.
	Look, we are now, we went from just over 40,000 to over 100,000.
	In March, I think you're going to see well over 100,000, 130,000.
	We're seeing, we went from, for instance, about 2,000 a day to now, this week, in a single day, 6,000 illegal aliens after in a single day.
	One less quick stat, in detention.
	Back in November of 2020, we have less than 800 in our detention facilities, in our holy facilities.
	Right now, over 10,000.
	Almost half of those, unaccompanied minors.
	Those are the facts.
	This is a crisis.

	In fact, I've got a theory.
	As the Biden administration is now looking at housing migrants at military bases, as the Biden administration is spending millions and millions of taxpayer dollars on motel rooms.
	Brand names, by the way.
	This isn't just your dude drop in.
	I'm sure this is the good stuff.
	ICE has signed a deal.
	Worth $89.6 million with a Texas nonprofit to shelter migrants in hotel rooms as the feds process a massive backlog of new arrivals at the border.
	This deal was announced the other day as illegals are arriving at the border At a rate we haven't seen in decades.
	ICE has signed a short-term contract with the nonprofit Division of Endeavors to provide temporary shelter and processing services.
	All right.
	We've been listening to the President's News Conference. - Thank you.
	I happen to agree with the President.
	I'm sure many of you don't agree with me on this.
	I don't think we should remove every soldier from Afghanistan.
	There are moral considerations and geopolitical considerations.
	Aside from, boy, it's such a long war.
	How many people would the Taliban have to slaughter?
	How many children would they have to rape?
	Before we thought maybe we should have kept some soldiers there.
	These are very difficult questions.
	But just in case you think I differ with President Biden on everything, I thought I'd mention that.
	But for one woman, I don't know what organization, the questions were the antithesis of the way Donald Trump was treated when he was president.
	They were all pro him and polite and just had him elucidate on positions they already hold.
	With regard to the border, it has nothing to do, even though this woman reporter said to him, well, I met kids and the mother said to me, I called the mother back, where was it, Guatemala?
	I think it was Guatemala.
	Huh?
	Honduras?
	And she said, yes, President Biden won't send you back.
	And he denies that he is a factor in the vast surge of humanity at the southern border.
	And then to accuse Donald Trump of starving kids to death?
	That goes, of course, unchallenged.
	Is there any atrocity, Donald Trump, who...
	Ran such an essentially civil regime, not verbally, but in terms of actual policy.
	Is that the atrocity that he's not been accused of committing?
	The surge of humanity at the southern border of the United States is the will of his party.
	And by the way, what were they called?
	I mentioned it to the living martyr at the time.
	Something like...
	Something facilities.
	But when they were in those facilities under the Trump administration, they were cages.
	Remember that?
	Well, that's the media for you.
	The president prior to Joe Biden was right.
	The lying media.
	They're lying about violence against Asian Americans.
	In order to get as many Asian Americans angry as possible, because remember, a happy American is a conservative American.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	we'll be back Trending now on America first with Sebastian Burke The messaging has been remarkably tight and A, you're not allowed to go to the border if you're a member of the press.
	If there are any photographs to be taken, we will release them.
	And on top of that, the system they inherited was broken or didn't exist.
	Can you just comment on that?
	Yeah, Sebastian, that 30-second clip that you played from the president, look, there's not enough time in the show to dismantle the number of lies and just misinformation and spin.
	It's absolutely believable.
	Yeah, we are right now in the middle of a dismantled system, one that they created.
	They dismantled it.
	And look, don't just take my word for it.
	Let's look at the facts.
	The Migrant Protection Protocol, which ended catch and release, one of the most significant incentives we removed.
	They turned back on.
	Asylum cooperative agreements, unprecedented agreements with the Northern Triangle countries that ended forum shopping and gave the migrants a forum to seek relief and assistance in the first country they came.
	Ended.
	Title 42 for unaccompanied minors, which prevented COVID from coming into the country.
	Ended.
	I could keep going on and on.
	They dismantled a series of a network of policies and initiative tools that were working.

	The story of Hunter Biden's life is as messy and sickening and tragic as anything I've ever heard.
	I mean, when you talk about The son of the Vice President of the United States spinning out of control on every level and then filming himself spinning out of control, smoking crack.
	This is the man who has taken millions, hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign entities, seems almost certainly to have compromised his father, who is now an occupant of the White House.
	No one is talking about this, that a man this messed up was was the bag man for hundreds of millions of dollars.
	It sounds like we're making this up.
	This is completely true.
	Funny, we're not interested in chronicling his out-of-control life.
	If he had an out-of-control life and that's all it was, we wouldn't be making this movie.
	It's his out-of-control life.
	Then he's on the board of a...
	Chinese investment company, a billion-dollar investment company.
	He's on the board of a Ukrainian oil and gas company.
	He gets $3 million from the mayor of Moscow's wife.
	I mean, these are facts.
	These are from his own.
	He gets a diamond ring from a Chinese businessman.
	Him and his uncles get $100,000 to go on a spending screen from another Chinese businessman.
	He has an email saying, I'm shooting 10% upstairs to the big guy.
	I mean, that is why we're making the movie.
	Where's that money going?
	And no one has denied these emails and this information.
	No one has denied it.
	And in fact, in most of the cases, this is out of this is out of Hunter Biden's own mouth.
	he actually admitted to all of this.
	To what level did illegal migration drop to when you were in charge?
	And what should Americans, the millions listening to this show today, what should they know has occurred in the last 60 days, Mark?
	Yeah, so that's really quick.
	So let me walk through.
	Pre-COVID, in February of 2020, the overall illegal immigration flow had reduced by 75%.
	The first few months into COVID, it reduced even further.
	And then...
	The president's wrong on this, is that we saw the numbers steadily incline, which we anticipated, not because of the natural disasters or hurricanes, but because of COVID. Because COVID decimated and drove worsening economic conditions in the Western Hemisphere, and we all know that's what drives illegal immigration.
	And so we saw the numbers steadily increase.
	But then when the election hit and Biden won, the numbers didn't just increase, they have skyrocketed.
	Look, we are now, we went from just over...
	40,000 to over 100,000.
	In March, I think you're going to see well over 130,000.
	We're seeing, we went from apprehension at about 2,000 a day to now this week, and a single day, 6,000 illegal aliens after in a single day.
	One last quick stat, in detention, back in November of 2020, we have less than 800 in our detention facilities, in our holding facilities.
	Right now, over 10,000, almost half of those unaccompanied minors.
	Those are the facts.
	This is a crisis.
	In fact, I've got a theory as the Biden administration is now looking at housing migrants at military bases.
	As the Biden administration is spending millions and millions of taxpayer dollars on motel rooms.
	Brand names, by the way.
	This isn't just your dude drop in.
	I'm sure this is the good stuff.

	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm listening as you are.
	If you're listening to my show, we're playing the live first press conference of President Biden.
	And I have some comments, but first, let's tune in.
	I want to talk about that.
	Do you hear anything about that at all?
	I love the fact that I found this whole idea of concern about the federal budget.
	It's kind of amazing.
	And the federal budget is saving people's lives.
	They don't think it's such a good idea.
	When the federal budget is feathering the nest of the wealthiest Americans, 90 of the Fortune 500 companies making billions of dollars, not paying a cent in taxes, reducing taxes to the point that people who are making, you know, if you're a husband and wife, school teacher, and a cop, you're paying at a higher rate than the average person making a billion dollars a year.
	things.
	Something wrong.
	They build America.
	And unions build them.
	The third reason I said I was running was to unite the country.
	And generically speaking, all of you said, no, you can't do that.
	I'm not going to unite the Congress, but I'm going to unite the country based on the polling data.
	We have to come together.
	We have to.
	So from my perspective, you know, to me, it's about just, you know, getting out there, putting one foot in front of the other, just trying to make things better for me.
	Just hard working people.
	People get up every morning and just want to figure out how to put food to the table for their kids, be able to have a little bit of reading room, being able to have, make sure that they go to bed and not stare at the ceiling.
	Like my dad didn't want to, since he didn't have health insurance, what happens?
	Mom would see when he got sick.
	You know, basic things.
	Basic things.
	And I'm the view that the vast majority of people, including registered Republicans by and large, share that same view, that same sense of what is, you know, what's appropriate.
	Justin.
	Justin St. Bloomberg.
	Thanks, Mr. President.
	I wanted to ask about your relationship with China now that you've been in office for a couple months.
	There's obviously the meeting in Alaska that...
	It was a little theatrical, and there's the continued human rights abuses.
	So today, I'm wondering, are you more likely than you were when you came into office to maintain tariffs on China?
	Are you considering banning imports of forced labor products?
	And would you consider cutting off U.S. investment or Chinese access to international payment systems?
	Look, they're each specifically...
	Legitimate questions.
	But they only touch a smidgen of what the relationship with China really is about.
	I've known Xi Jinping for a long time.
	Allegedly, by the time I left office as Vice President, I had spent more time with Xi Jinping than any world leader had.
	Because President Obama and the Chinese President Hu Decided we should get to know one another, since it was inappropriate for the president of the United States to spend time with the vice president of another country.
	But it was obvious he was going to become the new leader of China.
	So I spent hours upon hours with him, alone with an interpreter.
	My interpreter and his.
	Going into great detail.
	Very, very straightforward.
	Doesn't have a democratic with a small d bone in his body.
	But he's a smart, smart guy.
	He's one of the guys like Putin who thinks that autocracy is the wave of the future.
	Democracy can't function in an ever-complex world.
	So when I was elected and he called to congratulate me, I think to the surprise of the China experts who were his people on the call as well as mine listening, we had a two-hour conversation.
	For two hours.
	And we made several things clear to one another.
	I made it clear to him again, when I've told him in person on several occasions, that we're not looking for confrontation, although we know there will be steep, steep competition.
	Two, that we'll have strong competition, but we'll insist that China play by the international rules.
	Fair competition, fair practices, fair trade.
	Thirdly, in order to compete effectively, I indicated that we're going to deal with China effectively.
	And we're going to need three things to do that.
	I'm telling our people.
	First, we're going to invest in American workers and American science.
	I said that all through the campaign.
	I say it again.
	And I'm setting up my administration to be able to do that, which is that, you know, back in the 60s, we used to invest a little over 2% of our entire GDP in pure research and investment in science.
	Today, it's 0.7%.
	I'm going to change that.
	We're going to change that.
	The future lies in who can, in fact, own.
	The future as it relates to technology, quantum computing, a whole range of things, including the medical fields.
	And so, what I'm going to do is make sure we invest closer to 2%.
	One of the reasons why I've set up the PIAB, the President's Board with Sciences and the like, again, is we're going to invest in medical research.
	Cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, industries of the future, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, biotech, and we're going to make real investments.
	China is out investing us by a long shot because their plan is to own that future.
	The second thing we're going to do is we're going to re-establish our alliances, and I've been very clear with them.
	It's not anti-Chinese, and we've talked about it.
	I want to make sure that, for example, later today, after this, as a matter of fact, shortly after this, which is fine.
	We're going close to an hour.
	I'm happy.
	Don't go longer.
	But one of the things that I'm going to be doing, I'm going to be speaking with 27 heads of state in Europe.
	And very shortly, I think within the next hour or so.
	I don't know the exact time.
	And earlier this month...
	And apparently it got the Chinese attention.
	That's not why I did it.
	I met with our allies and how we're going to hold China accountable in the region.
	Australia, India, Japan, the United States, the so-called Quad.
	Because we have to have democracies working together.
	Before too long, I'm going to have, I'm going to invite an alliance of democracies to come here to discuss the future.
	And so we're going to make it clear that in order to deal with these things, we are going to hold China accountable to follow the rules.
	Follow the rules.
	Whether it relates to the South China Sea or the North China Sea or the agreement made on Taiwan or a whole range of other things.
	And the third thing, and the thing that I... I admire about dealing with Xi as he understands.
	He makes no pretense about not understanding what I'm saying anymore.
	I do him.
	I pointed out to him, no leader can be sustained in his position or her position unless they represent the values of the country.
	And I said, Mr. President, as I've told you before, Americans value the notion of freedom.
	America values human rights.
	We don't always live up to our expectations, but it's a value system.
	We are founded on that principle.
	And as long as you and your country continues to so blatantly violate human rights, we are going to continue in an unrelenting way to call to the attention of the world and make it clear, make it clear what's happening.
	And he understood that.
	I made it clear that no American president, at least one did, but no American president ever backed down from speaking out of what's happening to the Uyghurs, what's happening in Hong Kong, what's happening in country.
	That's who we are.
	The moment a president walks away from that, as the last one did, is the moment we begin to lose our legitimacy around the world.
	It's who we are.
	So, I see stiff competition with China.
	The attack on Donald Trump was just not honest.
	He was the most anti-China president we've had.
	We'll be back.

	You know what I'm really worried about is white males in this country, right?
	Those are the people committing the most...
	Me?
	So you're worried about me?
	Yes.
	If I said I'm worried about black males, that would be a racist thing, right?
	You just said white males.
	That's pretty racist.
	We have the shoe fix.
	Love, not hate, makes America great!
	Look at some of the national propaganda about the Jews and you see a lot of stuff that's really similar to what people are saying about the people of the Jews.
	I wouldn't equate what's going on today with the rise of the Third Reich, would you?
	Did you just say you don't think it is part of the Third Reich?
	No, I would not equate Donald Trump with the rise of the Third Reich.
	I do believe we're a white supremacist country.
	If we're such a racist country, why is it that Asian Americans and Indian Americans are actually richer than white Americans on average?
	Didn't Obama separate 90,000 kids from their parents?
	I don't know.
	Does that make this right?
	In fact, Bernie Sanders put on his website in 2015, Dear Obama, stop separating parents from their parents.
	Well, all the images they're using on television of children in cages, those were taken under Obama.
	Obama separated 90,000 kids and there were no programs.
	Okay, so now we're interviewing you.
	Well, no, I'm just saying a sentence.
	Thank you very much.
	You protest under Obama, right?
	There were no protests like this.
	No hate speak.
	There was no hate speak behind what he did.
	I mean, there was no...
	It didn't come with all that evil, hateful rhetoric.
	Like what?
	Give me an example.
	Do you think illegals should be deported?
	Illegal?
	Like illegal immigrants.
	What's illegal?
	Someone who is not here legally?
	Like someone who broke federal immigration law to come into the country.
	Well, maybe there's a reason.
	So there's a reason that it's okay to break laws at times.
	So if I'm hungry, I can rob a store, essentially.
	That's the reason.

	Again, what's going on with the Uyghurs is what happened with the Jews in Nazi Germany in the early 30s, and it escalated from there.
	I do not understand how one can talk climate change while a genocide is underway.
	Yeah, Hugh, the only surprising thing about that story is that John Kerry is going to speak virtually with a counterpart from China.
	Normally, he would be flying on a private airplane and staying in a five-star luxury hotel.
	But everything else is totally par for the course for John Kerry and unfortunately for Joe Biden.
	And I'm afraid, as I have been all along, that they're going to trade off some fanciful, theoretical reduction in carbon emissions by China in 2084 in return for, say, giving up Taiwan.
	I certainly hope that won't be the case.
	Or the continued cover-up over COVID. In Rogan's book on China, Chaos Under Heaven, you were cited as the original hardliner on the Wuhan lab.
	Everything you said about the Wuhan lab is being vindicated with every day that goes by, Senator Cotton.
	Yeah, you know, Hugh, I wish I wouldn't have been right about this virus, you know, back when Washington was obsessed with Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
	First impeachment trial, I guess I have to say now.
	In January of 2020, I was trying to sound the alarm with the president and my peers on down.
	The president got it pretty quickly when he grounded flights from China.
	But even the Democrats still continue to say for weeks that that was an overreaction and that we're spreading conspiracy theories when we said it may have leaked from this laboratory in Wuhan.
	But as you say, most reporting now suggests what I said all along, which although there's not direct evidence and we may never know conclusively because of the duplicity of the Chinese Communist Party, every bit of evidence and common sense we have suggests that this was a leak from the Wuhan laboratory.

	All right, everybody.
	You've heard a lot of the press conference, an hour's worth.
	I'll review it in print for tomorrow.
	I like to do that first.
	But the gratuitous attacks on the president...
	I'll have 200 million Americans inoculated by...
	A month from now, or whatever the date he gave, and how unprecedented this is.
	America is the leader, but no comment that it was Donald Trump that was able to get the vaccine out, whether you like the vaccine or not.
	I mean, he does like the vaccine, President Biden, and yet won't acknowledge that.
	It's just worth noting.
	I'm not going to lose sleep over it because I didn't expect more.
	People lose sleep when they get disappointed.
	It's very hard for a Democrat to disappoint me.
	It just is.
	He was asked, are you lurching left?
	No, 50% of Republicans agree with me.
	Where did he get that?
	I never found him to be...
	His tone is, you know, Mr. Next Door Neighbor.
	Nice guy.
	And yet, he makes up stuff.
	I remember in his debate, vice presidential debate, he just made up stuff.
	And I remember something about the Middle East, and I thought it was a big deal.
	And I thought, wow, I follow this stuff, and I never heard of that.
	And sure enough, it never happened.
	So...
	The other thing worth mentioning is the docility of the press, except for one question, which I noted.
	I wanted to hug that reporter.
	But otherwise?
	I mean, how about just...
	What would you say, Mr. President, to the parent of a girl who otherwise would have gotten a sports scholarship but lost out in every single race in her high school to a biological male who identified as a girl?
	Well, would you say to that parent, this is fair?
	Your daughter actually lost fairly?
	Half the Republicans agree with his legislation?
	Half the Republicans agree that $1 trillion be given to bail out states and cities that are democratic overwhelmingly?
	Who overspend, who are corrupt beyond words, like my city of Los Angeles, where corruption is endemic.
	And that's what the Rescue America bill was, Rescue Democratic States bill.
	It was also good for individuals.
	I fully acknowledge that, because truth is important.
	But a good chunk of it?
	Mr. President, where is the money going to come from?
	Mr. President, this was asked.
	The people at the border themselves are saying it is because you are welcoming people and said America is essentially open and we will give you whatever you need, health care and education and so on, that millions upon millions of people...
	Are entering or will enter the country?
	Why did you stop the...
	If you are against this immigration, this illegal immigration, why did you stop the building of the wall?
	Just a few things have come to mind that might be asked.
	Can you imagine if this were a Donald Trump press conference, of course, and they were a major Republican governor?
	Mired in the scandals of Andrew Cuomo?
	Financial, moral, health, and sexual harassment scandals?
	Not a word about that.
	I mean, I don't care personally whether Joe Biden asks that Andrew Cuomo resign or not.
	He's on a list of 100 things that I'm concerned about.
	Number 100. So...
	Nevertheless, it would have been a preoccupation at a press conference.
	They were yelling.
	Remember, they just yell at his press conferences.
	This was like a cheerleading group.
	You know how many questions there were about the filibuster to egg him on to support a way of getting rid of the filibuster?
	I'm surprised he wasn't asked about D.C. as a state.
	Has he come out for D.C. as a state?
	Listen, if we want to do a realignment in this country, I read to you last week or two weeks ago where there's a movement in Oregon to join Idaho.
	Let's go back to the president talking about the border.
	It's not like somebody's sitting on a...
	Hand-ewn table in Guatemala, I mean, somewhere in Mexico or in Guadalupe saying, I got a great idea.
	Let's sell everything we have.
	Give it to a coyote.
	Have them take our kids across the border into a desert where they don't speak the language.
	Won't that be fun?
	Let's go.
	That's not how it happens.
	How does it happen?
	People don't want to leave.
	When my great-grandfather got in a coffin ship in the Irish Sea, expectation was, was he going to live long enough on that ship to get to the United States of America?
	But they left because of what the Brits had been doing.
	They were in real, real trouble.
	They didn't want to leave.
	Well, what does this have to do?
	But they had no choice.
	So what?
	I'm sorry to interrupt, Ross.
	I don't understand.
	But I can guarantee we can make everything better.
	Oh, this is his solution.
	You can change the lives of so many people.
	And the other thing I want to point out to you, and I hope you point out, I realize it's much more heart-wrenching, and it is, to deal with a five- and six- and seven-year-old.
	But you went down there and you saw the vast majority of these children, 70% are 16 years old, 17 years old, and mostly males.
	Doesn't make it good, bad, or different.
	But the idea...
	That we have tens of thousands of kids in these god-awful facilities that are really little babies crying all night.
	There's some.
	That's true.
	That's why we got to act.
	And yesterday, I asked my team, both the director of the two agencies as well as others, I asked them what would they, in fact, and I asked their opinion because they're the experts, but I said, focus on the most vulnerable immediately.
	But there's no reason why in the next month, as people cross the border, that phone call can't be made in the first 48 hours.
	All right, let me summarize.
	Let me ask one last question.
	When President Trump had them in these facilities, they were screaming at him for being a barbarian, separating families and keeping kids in cages.
	And the solution of President Biden is not to close the border.
	But it's to make life so good in El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras that they won't want to leave.
	Wow.
	Talk about nation-building.

	Kamala Harris's niece, Mina Harris, came out and tweeted this, quote, The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago.
	Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country.
	Now, of course, this is not true.
	The shooter was not a white man.
	It was a Muslim, a Syrian immigrant to our country who killed 10 people.
	Nina Harris then went on Twitter, and her correction was almost worse than her actual original statement.
	Which is a pretty stunning thing to say.
	Now, this is the niece of the Vice President of the United States making a remarkably bigoted statement, stereotyping someone immediately as being a violent white man.
	She said this, I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting.
	I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive.
	That the majority of mass shootings in the United States are carried out by white men.
	She's admitting that just because he was taken alive, she used prejudice and stereotypes to categorize him as a violent white man.
	But this sort of bigotry and this sort of over-racialization of every single incident is intentional.

	Hi, everybody.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	This is a new thing, isn't it?
	I've never heard a president say that.
	The solution to the illegal immigration problem is to make its life so good in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and presumably Mexico, that they will not want to come.
	I sit almost in awe at the naivete.
	And I am so generous in saying naivete because I really have more severe words to say about what I think about that idea.
	How exactly could that be implemented?
	What are we going to do?
	I'm serious.
	I don't even understand.
	Send them $100 billion.
	Let's say we send $100 billion to Guatemala.
	Do me a favor, please.
	Look up the GDP of Guatemala.
	And so we send $100 billion because you could print that money.
	You bring it over on horseback.
	It's an interesting question.
	How many trunks would be filled with $77 billion?
	There you go.
	I had a feeling.
	That's more than their GDP. Imagine sending a country, how about $77 billion?
	We will double your GDP for free.
	Here's $77 billion.
	$27 billion in El Salvador.
	$27 billion in El Salvador.
	Oh my God, it's even way cheaper.
	Sorry?
	$25 billion Honduras.
	And $25 billion Honduras.
	Well, my first choice is Honduras because I love Honduran cigars.
	Just for the record, I have a very selfish...
	I would personally help invest.
	I do.
	I invest in Nicaragua, which unfortunately is...
	The communist government there.
	And Honduras.
	I help out Honduras with my cigar purchases.
	But in a more serious manner, what exactly are we going to do?
	I want you to know what would happen if we gave $50 billion.
	Let's be realistic.
	$50 billion.
	Or the GDPs.
	Match the GDPs.
	25, 27. And whatever the Guatemala was.
	Guatemala was way higher.
	That's really interesting.
	Guatemala's doing much better than El Salvador and Honduras?
	I don't think they have that much bigger of a population, so I think they must have a more prosperous...
	But they're coming from Guatemala just as much as from El Salvador and Honduras.
	Now, obviously, Mexico's gigantic GDP in comparison.
	But let us say we match their GDP. I'll tell you what would happen.
	About half of it would immediately go to enrich government leaders.
	And leaders in labor and leaders in the military pay off the people to support the state.
	That is what is done in every one of these countries.
	Remember Angola?
	When we visited Angola in West Africa, Southwest Africa?
	And we had to be escorted in Angola.
	By police.
	It was so dangerous.
	And it's all corruption.
	It's all it is.
	It's just corruption.
	It's really a sort of...
	It's like a bailout, as the bailout of California is, by the Rescue America Act.
	And what does it go to?
	Further corruption in the state of California.
	That's all it does.
	But I mean, realistically, my friends, what could be done?
	That is his solution.
	And by the way, obviously everyone knows it would take a generation.
	So what happens in the course of the 20 years that a generation might constitute?
	What happens?
	Do we close the border or not, Mr. President?
	Let us say your dream works.
	We make Guatemala prosperous.
	Nobody wants to leave, or very few wish to leave.
	In fact, Americans start going into Guatemala.
	It's so prosperous.
	Or Honduras.
	To have an apartment in Tegucigalpa?
	It's like an American dream.
	Give me a condo in Tegucigalpa.
	That's the capital of Honduras, by the way.
	And I broadcast from there.
	Remember that?
	That was quite something.
	Alright, everybody.
	1-8 Prager 776. The solution to illegal immigration in the millions is not barriers at the border of the United States.
	It is to make life so good.
	That people won't want to come here.
	Actually, the Democrats will make life so bad here, people may not want to come here.
	That's another possible solution.
	That's the real Democratic solution.
	Ruin America so that nobody wants to come in.
	They're not stupid.
	There you go.
	That's the solution.
	That's the Democrat solution.
	Right?
	Okay, what's the story, Mr. Triple G? Ladies and gentlemen, please, for your sake, if you have muscular or joint pain, go to relieffactor.com.
	Take the three-week test.
	If it doesn't work in three weeks, all you've spent is $19.95 plus shipping.
	But if it does work, you will thank me.
	And it works for most people.
	Relieffactor.com 800-500-8384 John, can we start with this headline from CNN? The Colorado attack is the seventh mass shooting in seven days in the U.S. What?
	Yeah, so there are two different types of cases that they kind of mix together.
	I mean, people, when they hear that, think of something that happened yesterday in Boulder, Colorado, or happened a week ago in Atlanta, Georgia.
	But what they mix in with that are basically gangs fighting each other over drug turf.
	Now, are gangs fighting each other over drug turf important?
	Yeah.
	One wants to try to figure out how to stop those.
	But the causes and solutions for those are dramatically different than the types of things where we see somebody usually planning on committing suicide and wanting to go out and just take as many people with them so they can get publicity when they die.
	You know, by mixing those two things together, I think they really give people a misimpression about, you know, how frequent the types of mass public shootings that happened yesterday are.
	I mean, last year we had two of those types of mass public shootings where four more people were killed in a public place, not part of some other type of crime, but the point of the attack was to go and simply try to kill or wound people.
	And so the point, John, is when you look at America in the last several years, the number of these so-called mass shootings, if you use a consistent definition, has really not gone up.
	No, I mean, last year was very low, and the year before was also pretty low.

	Thank you for listening to The Hugh Hewitt Show today.
	I'm glad to welcome back Dr. Tony Fauci.
	Good morning, Dr. Fauci.
	How are you?
	Good morning, Hugh.
	How are you doing?
	I'm great.
	I want to dive first into the science, Dr. Variants.
	When will you expect to reach stability with the virus?
	Meaning that...
	You are sure it cannot evolve into something more deadly or more contagious or more evasive than the current vaccines can cope with?
	You know, Hugh, you'll never reach that as long as there's virus circulating in the community.
	Viruses don't mutate unless they replicate.
	If you prevent their replication by suppressing the spread in the community, at that point you'll reach The area where you're talking about, where it's not going to change any.
	But as long as there's like right now we have in our own country about 50,000.
	Hey, everybody.
	I brought you in with Relief Factor, and I'm bringing you back with Relief Factor because I didn't get a full chance to tell you how important it is.
	I joke around a lot about...
	Sponsors because I feel close to them.
	I don't endorse them if I don't believe in them.
	But I do want to seriously state that it's a bad thing to walk around in chronic pain.
	Some people can't relieve it, especially nerve pain.
	Science is really not caught up with the problem of nerve pain.
	I wish there was a Marshall Plan or something like that for nerve pain.
	That's why a lot of people become opioid addicts.
	But there is a lot of solutions to muscle and joint pain, and I would put Relief Factor on the top of the list of non-prescription.
	So I endorse this heartily.
	You'll know in three weeks if it works, so you buy three weeks at a special rate, $19.95 at relieffactor.com.
	800, 500, 83, 84. It doesn't work.
	You threw out 20 bucks.
	Right?
	So what do people get for 20 bucks these days?
	My wife's theory on $20 is it's the new $5 bill.
	The kids come, you know, kids come for money.
	Can I need any?
	Here's 20 bucks.
	When my father, I want to say something loving about my dad.
	And it's probably...
	Is this odd?
	I never thought of it this way.
	So I'm really thinking aloud, spontaneously.
	My dad was not Mr. Affection to the kids.
	He was Mr. Affection to my mother.
	Which is fine.
	I turned out fine.
	He was a great male model, which is more important to me.
	But he did something for me that I will forever treasure his memory.
	I fell in love with classical music as a sophomore in high school.
	And I lived in Brooklyn.
	I went to Manhattan three days a week.
	Four days a week.
	Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
	It was basically almost an hour trip by subway.
	Anyway, once a month, he gave me $20.
	That's what made me think of this.
	To buy any classical records I wanted.
	I remember the line I used.
	I don't know, Alan, do you know this about me?
	The line I used with my dad.
	You know, Dad.
	Because $20 was a lot then.
	It's basically like, I would say $100 today.
	It's a lot to give a kid to get records.
	I'd say, look, Dad, think about it for a moment.
	Think about it.
	How many parents have kids spending money on drugs?
	And you have a kid spending money on classical music records.
	And that did it.
	The wallet came out.
	It's like he forgot I used that line the previous month. - $20.
	Anyway, that's the relief factor thing made me think about that.
	So here you are.
	Here's the solution to illegal immigration.
	America will make life so good in Guatemala they won't want to leave.
	I believe that the democratic solution is the opposite.
	Make life so lousy in America, they won't want to leave.
	That's the sad truth of the issue, I believe.
	Alright, let's see here.
	Brian, Erie, Pennsylvania.
	Hi there.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Pleasure talking to you.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Like I had said to your screen here, We don't have to make every country good.
	Not necessarily I agree with that concept, but we only have to make one country good, let's say Honduras.
	I was stationed in Honduras in the Army, so that's why I picked Honduras.
	Make Honduras everywhere that Guatemalans and Nicaraguans and El Salvadorians want to go to, and they won't come here.
	There you go.
	You could be a speechwriter for the president.
	That's the theory.
	Just make one Central American country a paradise, and then they won't want to come here because it's a fellow Spanish-speaking, same culture, same religion.
	All right.
	I don't see it quite happening.
	Anyway, let's say Guatemala became prosperous.
	And then 10 million people entered Guatemala from all surrounding Central American countries.
	That would end its prosperity.
	Guatemala.
	If Guatemala became prosperous, they'd build a wall.
	Right?
	The absurdities that we have to live with in the world.
	Oh, my God.
	Adam in Pittsburgh will stay in Pennsylvania, even in western Pennsylvania.
	Hello.
	Hey, I was wondering what your thoughts were about the first news conference from the president.
	Well, I have been commenting on it since...
	Did you have anything specific you wanted to say or ask me about?
	Sure.
	I'm wondering how realistic you think his new goal of achieving 200 million doses within his first 100 days are.
	And I'm wondering, what do you think the barriers were for President Trump for him only being able to accomplish somewhere in the realm of 870, 875,000 shots a day?
	Okay, well, first of all, President Trump, it's a miracle that he got the vaccines done.
	And They usually take four years.
	He got them done in a year.
	I have some ambivalence about the vaccines.
	Not opposition, just ambivalence.
	And I certainly don't understand why I'm supposed to believe in their potency if Anthony Fauci, who seems somewhat of a crackpot now, if he tells me I have to wear a mask after I get a vaccine.
	Then it's clear he doesn't believe.
	He's the one ambivalent about it.
	Anyway, President Trump developed the vaccine in record time, and now we're having the inoculations done in record time.
	If President Biden is responsible in large measure for the speed with which people are getting vaccinated, then he gets the credit.
	I have no problem with that.
	One did one thing and the other did the other.
	I wish he didn't wear a mask now that he is vaccinated.
	That bothers me a lot.
	We'll be back.
	The new infections each day.
	With that much viral dynamics going on, there's always the threat and the reality of the evolution of variants.
	So the best way to stop this is to just suppress the virus to a very, very low level.
	Is there any evidence that it's become any of the variants that we know of yet have become more dangerous for children than the original or the variants?
	You know, there is a suggestion that one of them is easily infecting children.
	Children are way, way off on the side of the chart where there's very little hospitalization.
	But some of the variants, if they have the capability of infecting children more readily, you're ultimately going to see more serious disease in children.
	Thank you.
	The Congressional Budget Office just released its new debt figures.
	The national debt this year will top 102% of GDP. This has only happened twice before, both during World War II. This number does not count the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, nor does it count the money which was borrowed from Social Security, since that's considered intergovernmental debt.
	Debt levels this high break the intergenerational covenant that we have with our children and grandchildren.
	FDR borrowed to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan.
	Money well spent.
	Reagan borrowed to defeat the Soviet Union.
	That was also money well spent.
	These great projects made the world better for future generations.
	But our political class is not buying victories against international threats.
	They are buying political victories for incumbents.
	This is nothing more than fiscal abuse, and our kids will pay the price.
	It needs to stop.
	Now.
	I'm Jerry Boyer. - The Pepperdine School of Public Policy, America's unique graduate program for leaders.
	Learn more at publicpolicy.pepperdine.edu. - Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show. - The Democrats are trying to ram through The HR1 bill and the Equality Act.
	Can you say a little bit about that?
	I think the reason why there's so many distractions in the country right now is because that's exactly what they've been doing since the second they certified Joe Biden in as President of the United States.
	Everyone has seen it.
	They've been forcing one radical program after another.
	The most radical program is their number one piece of legislation of choice, and it's this.
	It is to ensure that they institutionalize all All the tactics that were used in this last election.
	That's exactly what the Democrats want to put in power.
	Why do they want to do that?
	Well, right now, they're the one power and party.
	They run the House, they run the Senate, they run the White House.
	They want to keep it that way.
	Okay, everybody.
	Thank you, everybody.
	Bye.
	Yeah, talking about making Guatemala prosperous, one of the finer thinkers at my home station, William Kirby, came up with an excellent thing.
	We will change MAGA, make America great again, to make Guatemala great again.
	And this is not meant disrespectfully, but...
	The again is a little troubling because Guatemala...
	I don't know when it was last great.
	A lot of great Guatemalans.
	In fact, we have a Guatemalan doing...
	Isn't that ironic?
	There is a Guatemalan woman doing the PragerU video this week.
	And she is something.
	Brilliant.
	Great values.
	Beautiful.
	And this is...
	This is the...
	I've known a number of Guatemalans, and I've adored.
	But, is not a good substitute for MAGA. Wouldn't it be amazing, though?
	That's his answer to the issue.
	Alright, let me see here.
	Okay, I'm sorry?
	So I am going to try to summarize some of your calls here.
	Cynthia, I was talking to you, the first hour and the beginning of the second hour, I just addressed the issue of how your kids have turned out and where you're sending them if they're still in school.
	I'm going to do it again.
	These are very big issues.
	Now, let's see here.
	Darina in Okanogan, Washington.
	The other day I said to the living martyr.
	We're not getting a lot of calls from Okanogan.
	And look at that.
	Look at that.
	So what does she say here?
	Is Biden going to give 200 million vaccinations to all those immigrants?
	I don't foresee 200 million at this point.
	But it is a little odd, isn't it?
	That they're not tested.
	They wear masks.
	That is the president and vice president after vaccination.
	But we can let all these immigrants in.
	Yes, exactly.
	All right.
	Let's see here.
	John in LA is a former police officer.
	His wife hates Donald Trump no matter what good his administration has done.
	John, I feel for you.
	I do.
	I really do.
	Because there really is an irrational element to the hatred of Donald Trump.
	So what you do is...
	Talk about the stuff that connects the two of you.
	Love each other up, hopefully.
	Ignore that.
	It ain't easy, but I think that's your only choice.
	Talking about the kids, Cynthia in Bellflower, California.
	Two of her kids went to trade school.
	That is a great, great idea.
	My friends, whatever you give to PragerU, this week, in other words, leading to the end of March, will be tripled.
	Somebody is really helping us out.
	Go to PragerU.com.
	Thank you.
