How often have the airlines said, your safety is our primary concern, our only concern?
Forget primary.
You hear it all the time.
One assumes that United Airlines said that on thousands, tens of thousands of occasions, your safety.
Is our primary or only concern?
Well, it turns out that that's just not true for United Airlines, and they've acknowledged it.
There is something more important than safety.
Diversity in the cockpit.
That's D-I-C, diversity in cockpit.
It just turns out that cockpit and the acronym, I'll relate it, but I won't go any further because the FCC would not appreciate it.
This was all coincidental for the record.
I returned to Earth.
They have announced that half of the people they will admit to flight school will be women and persons of color.
So they acknowledge that the primary concern will not be how good you are.
This does not, for those listening on the left, who by definition do not think clearly and lie, this does not in any way, shape, or form imply that women or persons of color cannot be great pilots.
Everybody knows that they can.
Irrelevant.
The only relevance is what is your criterion or what are your criteria for admitting people into pilot training school?
Will it be color and genitalia or will it be excellence?
That's it.
You can't say they're both.
Because if you say they're both, that means that until today, United has banned competent people of color, banned women from becoming pilots.
Does anybody believe that?
I don't.
And, as I've said from the beginning of affirmative action, race-based, gender-based, All it does is hurt the recipients.
It is inconceivable that years from now, three years, four years, not long, people will see female pilots and pilots of color and assume they became pilots through affirmative action and not excellence, which may well be an erroneous assumption, but United has put it into our minds.
It can't be an erroneous assumption in every case because, by definition, some people will have gotten in primarily because of their sex or race.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, please add airplanes and airlines to the list of things that the left ruins.
The aimless, the soulless, looking for meaning.
Country is too good for them.
It truly is.
This country is too good for the left.
Those ingrates.
Is there one grateful leftist?
Of course not.
By definition, if you're grateful to be American, you don't crap on it and ruin it as the left does.
So this is only the latest.
It would be very, very horrible.
Just horrible.
If a few years from now, a plane piloted by a female and a person of color crashes, United Flight, anybody who even suggests at the time, well, maybe they were placed in that position because of their color and gender, will be declared a racist.
Even though United is the racist.
Is there any other possible explanation? - Sure.
Or any other possible assessment?
Other than the one that I said, people will not look at these people as achievers, but as affirmative action recipients.
And how unfair it will be to those who are just excellent?
But how could it be otherwise?
By the way, I'm curious, does it apply to every group?
I know I fly constantly.
Next week, again, I'm flying to New York and Florida from California.
Even now, I fly a lot, relative to what I normally do.
Nothing, but...
Relative to most people, a lot.
So I have flown 10 million miles, probably, no, let's see, 5 million miles.
And I have always heard, this is Captain so-and-so.
I never recall, hi, this is your Captain Cohen.
Right, do you?
You recall Jewish captains?
I know one, actually.
Works for Southwest.
Great guy.
But I wonder if the percentage of people in the cockpit are Jews commensurate to their percentage of the population.
And as a Jew, I would be insulted.
I would be angry beyond words if you said, well, we're going to reserve a certain number of spots for Jews.
I'm not the first to point out that it's a very odd application.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What would happen to basketball if you said that there had to be equity on the court?
This notion you have to look like the people who are doing something.
Do whites watching basketball think, gee, I don't look like the 75% of the NBA players who are black?
What do they think?
Hey, I'm seeing the best players on earth.
Right?
Why wouldn't you apply that to pilots?
I'm serious.
Why not?
1-8 Prager 776. 6.
When you have no real life-affirming cause in your life, you make up.
Life-affirming causes.
That is all of leftism.
It's manufactured causes for my empty, soulless being.
That's all it is.
I will feel good about myself by fighting what did they call themselves who opposed Donald Trump?
The resistance.
The resistance!
The resistance in Europe, in World War II, with the anti-Nazis, many of whom were captured and hideously tortured to death.
You know what you got for being in the resistance in the United States?
An interview on MSNBC or CNN. Not quite tortured to death.
It's all fake.
The entire left-wing battle is a fake.
And this is the latest.
There aren't enough women pilots.
How do you know that?
How do you know that?
That's the state of the United States, circa 2021.
The problem is, if you don't fly United, you've got Delta and American as the primary alternatives. - Peace.
Delta has already sold its soul to the left by condemning as racist something that has nothing whatsoever to do with race.
Show an ID for voting is racist?
The claim that it is racist is racist.
because you're saying blacks are not bright enough to get an ID.
I'm Dennis Prager.
Trailing now on The Charlie Kirk Show. .
.
And they are not insurgents.
And we are not being invaded.
Which, by the way, is a white supremacist idea, philosophy.
She doesn't know what philosophy means.
And that's okay.
She's not very bright.
She has a very big, very substantial following, I should say.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Is articulating why she's angry at the people that are angry that the left seems completely uninterested in complaining that the Biden administration is actually doing everything on the border worse than the Trump administration.
But why is it that it feels as if we are slow to move against Joe Biden?
I remember against Barack Obama.
It was organic.
It was real.
There was a response that was unscripted.
Patriots across the country rose up and started Tea Party groups.
Candidates ran for office.
Rick Santelli's famous rant in 2009 or 2010. And I'm reminded by a phrase.
That substance does not matter as much as style in the eyes of most voters.
You see, what we make fun of Joe Biden for is actually a winning quality to most voters.
The fact that Joe Biden is kind of sleepy and slow, the fact that Joe Biden falls upstairs, which is a rather remarkable thing, it's exactly what the ruling class wants.
You see, Joe Biden is like the grandparent that kind of falls asleep in front of the television at 7 o'clock.
What surprised me was what I call 9-12, and that was the liberal response.
To the attacks, the idea that we deserve them, that it was the chickens coming home to roost, in the words of my president's spiritual mentor, the idea that the way to prevent further attacks was to be nicer to the terrorists.
This was insane to me, Eric.
I realized this really is a culture war and I need to be a part of it.
What weapon, what tool, what skill do I possess that our side seems to be missing?
And we just didn't have a Bill Maher for the right.
We didn't have a Jon Stewart for the right.
And so for the first time in 15 years, I put together a stand-up act, only this time with a purpose.
I weaponized it.
I was going to be the Bill Maher for the right.
And I think I've accomplished that.
In fact, if you wish, you can see my hour-long special called Evan Sayet, A Deplorable Mind on Amazon Prime.
If you have Amazon Prime, it's free to Amazon Prime subscribers.
At the same time, I began to seriously think about why it is that good, smart, loving people, like my friends on the political left, reject fact and reason and side only and always with evil, failure, and wrong.
And I started to come up with this thought that I turned into a book eventually, a speech that I gave to the Heritage Foundation, which Andrew Breitbart called one of the five most important conservative speeches ever given, in which I explained How the modern liberal thinks.
And that book, that speech catapulted me into legitimacy as a conservative political pundit.

How's that for an opener?
I love that.
I recently had a conversation with Jenny from Todd and Andrew.
First, Jenny was very helpful in answering a couple of important questions.
At this time, I'm unable to utilize her services.
I said, although I may never talk with Mr. Prager, I would tell him that you have lived up to his confidence in your abilities.
Expectations met.
Jenny was very appreciative and said, I just give it my best.
Wow, I thought, and then said to Jenny, what if we all, every one of us, gave it our best?
How much better could our lives and our world be?
Thanks, Mr. Prager.
And that's a typical letter that I get about Andrew and Todd.
So if you're doing any loans, even if you end up not doing one, I get letters of thanks.

So the obscenity of what United is doing is indescribable.
They have undermined everything they could in one announcement.
They have undermined any confidence that United puts excellence first in the cockpit, safety first in the airline, and they have undermined the achievements of every woman and every...
Person of color who will now be flying an airplane.
Everyone will assume, even when it's not true, they got it because United had to fill a place in their aviator school.
But as I said last night, who are you going to fly?
Prager Airlines?
An airline only dedicated to excellence and not to leftism?
Does it exist?
God, it wasn't long ago that Alaska Airlines placed on every single trade.
Remember there was a time when you actually got food on planes?
Alaska Airlines would have a little tiny card with a biblical quote on it.
And then the left hated that.
The left hates everything beautiful, including beauty.
Look at your museums of contemporary art.
There's almost no beauty in it.
If it's healthy, if it's beautiful, if it's kind, if it's good, if it works, they hate it.
It's a sick part.
It's like the death wish in the human condition that Freud spoke of.
There's no doubt it will hurt United, but I want you to understand how this is hurting.
People of color and women.
And I would like to know, I ask the question, how do they know that there are more women out there, for example, who they, until now, disallowed?
Is that what United is telling us?
You know, folks, we've had all these competent women and people of color, but we, until now, Have avoided hiring them because we're a bunch of racists.
They should all resign then.
If that's true, if they've been depriving me of superb people of color and women in the cockpit, if the honorable thing would be to resign and at least admit it, but they don't do that because this is all...
What is it?
Isn't there a theological term?
Cheap grace?
Did you ever hear that term?
Is that the term?
Cheap grace?
Unearned.
I know a lot of Christians don't like the word earn with regard to grace or salvation and so on.
But I'm a big fan.
My favorite verb in English is earn.
Grace without discipleship?
Huh?
Is that the formal term for cheap grace?
Oh, boy.
I'm on United.
I'm on all of them.
I'm on the highest levels, or among the highest levels of all of them.
And it doesn't matter.
I mean, truly, what's left?
Has American done something to prove that it doesn't care about flying as much as it does about sounding woke?
I'm not aware of it.
I am flying American next week.
I'm trying to avoid Delta.
I admit it.
But if you avoid Delta and United, you...
We could take a helicopter.
I mean, JetBlue's great.
I don't know if they've done...
I have no idea.
The pressure on these people.
Because they're cowards.
There's no courage in what United announced.
There was no courage in what Delta announced.
Imagine if an airline said, you know, we really do.
We have very strong opinions about America.
And we loathe racism, but we're not getting involved in politics because our task is to fly all Americans, whatever their opinions, whatever their politics, whatever their race, color, creed, as safely as possible.
That is the only purpose of our airline.
What would happen?
I'm not kidding.
Would the New York Times condemn them for racism?
You didn't condemn the Georgia racist law, which has no racism in it, none whatsoever.
President Biden, but go ahead, make the point if you would.
The airlines since the 80s have been making an effort under affirmative action to hire as many minorities and female pilots as possible.
And in their deal to do that, they have hired people who do not have the hours and the time and the experience.
Okay, that's important.
You work in the field.
I'd like you to stay on.
I have a guest that I'm going to talk to so that you become healthier.
Stay tuned.
Maybe I'm a bit softy deep down.
If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you.
But sometimes, especially, let me get personal, not when I get attacked, but even then, when it's really vituperative, when it's really despicable, I have a certain feeling.
But when they attack my family, And when they've attacked my children, there's usually a point in the year where I just find myself asking a certain question, a very human question.
Why do they do that?
Why would you do that to a fellow human being?
And it puzzles me.
Because I could never do that.
I can be harsh.
I can be very robust in what I say some would say aggressive.
But it's not because I detest and wish to destroy human beings.
I'm a rational human and I can separate the person from the ideology.
The sin from the sinner.
I don't wish to destroy my fellow man.
If you threaten my family, I will kill you.
That is what every father and husband should be prepared to do.
You try to use lethal force against somebody I love and I will die to save them.

If you got in, some of you I'm going to ask to stay on or the screener will, but don't hang up.
I'm moving on to another subject.
I'm going to return to the United.
And the assertion by United that safety is their second concern and diversity is their first.
They said it in not so many words, but they said it.
So, why they would undermine their airline, well, I know why.
Because being woke is more important than being excellent.
I have a guest, a man I have not had on the show, I don't know, about five years?
Is that fair to say?
Seven years, Dr. Richman.
Let me very quickly say, Dr. Michael Richman, who is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon and general surgeon, now he's the founder of PaladinMDs, paladinmds.com.
He's a patient advocate.
But the reason I'm having him on is, first of all, I have talked to you about health all of my career, whatever insight I could bring.
In the beginning of my career, I told you carbs, not fat, was dangerous.
I was a pretty lonely voice, but I was right.
The government was wrong in its stupid pyramid.
But as a rule, Ronald Reagan was right.
The worst things you could hear are the government is here to help you.
Is that his famous statement?
Sometimes it's true and it works, but not usually.
Dr. Richmond was my doctor when he was practicing medicine directly with patients, and I believe, you can't prove it, but I believe, he prolonged my life, and I thank God, very healthy.
He knows his stuff, and what I recommended to you was something he made me aware of, and that is the erroneous way in which people's cholesterol is counted or measured.
Dr. Michael Richman, welcome back to the Dennis Prager Show.
I'm so glad to be back.
It's been a long time.
Say it again.
I'm sorry.
It's been a long time.
I'm so happy to be back.
Yes, indeed.
It is good to have you.
So explain in your inimitable way what the cholesterol count is wrong about.
Okay, well, first of all, I want to say, even though I haven't been on in seven years, I still have your loyal follower.
I probably get three a month calling me and saying, you saved my life, or you saved Dennis' life, I want you to save my life.
So it really stuck, all those shows we did.
So basically what the issue has been for years.
It was first described in 1961 in a paper titled Triglycerides, Coronary Artery Disease, and Lipoproteins that we should not be measuring the fat content in the blood.
We should be measuring the transport vehicles because obviously oil and vinegar don't mix.
So blood is the vinegar.
Cholesterol is the oil.
So they don't mix.
You can't get them together.
Ingeniously packages the cholesterol inside of particles, and those particles drive the cholesterol around the body.
So if you remember the analogy I made years ago, we measure the people in the cars, but you need to be measuring the cars, because it's the cars that traffic the cholesterol throughout the body.
The definition of LDL cholesterol, the traditional way, is simply the amount of liquid cholesterol in a deciliter of plasma.
So take a little bowl and put cholesterol in it.
How does that help you?
Because it's not soluble.
So we still measure the number of people in the cars and not the cars.
And now it's even become more mainstream.
It's become more accepted because...
If you remember, there were only a couple labs doing it.
Now LabCorp bought the technology, the NMR, and people can get it everywhere.
So technically, I can provide guidance and take care of people everywhere now.
And it has been shown that normal cholesterol testing misses about 50-60% of the variability in the population.
So that means 50-60% of the people.
Like you, we're told they had normal cholesterol and didn't.
Because they were counting the passengers and not the cars.
Correct.
And now, because more labs are measuring lipids, that's the term, correct?
Of the cars.
Lipoproteins.
Lipoproteins.
What's the difference between a lipoprotein and a lipid?
Lipid is just a general term for fats.
The lipoproteins are the proteins that are made in the body that traffic the cholesterol through the body.
All right, we're going to continue with Dr. Michael Richman.
I want you all to be healthier.
Nerve renew is one of the ways to be healthier if you have what I have had most of my life.
The pins and needles feeling in an extremity, in my case both my feet because of neuromas.
And to make a long story short, after having inserts, which finally worked, we're putting them in my shoes for ten years, relieving the pressure on the nerve.
After taking Nerve Renew for nine months, I threw away, and I still have thrown them away.
I do not use them, my inserts.

Coca-Cola cowards read the damn bill.
It doesn't suppress anybody unless you're of the mindset.
You know, if you're black, you're too dumb to figure out how to get ID to vote.
That's suppression, because we know how black people are.
You know how brown people are.
They're not intelligent enough to get an ID put together.
They can't go down to the DMV, or they can't figure out a way to get just a state ID. No, no, we can't expect our poor black friends to do that.
That's the left.
That's the mindset.
That's the thinking of Democrats.
Now, Ed Bastian's company, Delta, won't be so forgiving for somebody who's too ignorant to get an ID and let them get on their plane.
Because you can't fly Delta without a photo ID, a legitimate ID. But don't you dare expect a black or brown Georgian to be smart enough to figure out How to produce an ID when they vote.
That's suppression.
No, that's not suppression.
That's idiocy.
That is stupidity at the highest level and everybody knows it.
So good for the Georgia State Legislature for pushing back and telling Delta to go stick it in your ear.
They ought to say the same thing.
They ought to do the same thing to Coca-Cola, to Home Depot, to any of these companies who are playing this pitiful game of lying about the Georgia election integrity law.
They are lies.

Friends, I have Dr. Michael Richmond on board certified cardiothoracic surgeon, general surgeon.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Many years ago, I had him on the show seven years ago, and helped many of you as he did me.
Then he went into a different form of non-private practice as a doctor, but as my term, a patient advocate at his place, Paladin.
MDS, paladinmds.com, which is anyway up at dennisprager.com.
I want to make it clear, when he speaks about these labs that do the proper testing, which most labs don't, and I believe that, I know that, with regard to your cholesterol levels, he has no financial interest in LabCorp.
I mean, I ascertained this during the break.
I think you need to know this.
So, again, most doctors are not measuring properly something that you are certain is of great significance, the amount of lipoproteins in our blood, correct?
Correct.
Because they're counting, as you put it, they're counting passengers, not cars.
The car is the lipid?
The car is the lipoprotein.
Okay, the lipoprotein.
The cholesterol or lipid is the passenger.
Given the importance of this, and this is where I believe, among other places, you had such an impact on my own health, why doesn't the average doctor know this?
Well, as we've talked about before, this is the thing that's remarkable.
So I just said to you in 1961, from Yale, A very accomplished female endocrinologist published a paper, and I have it, Triglycerides, Lipoproteins, and Coronary Artery Disease.
Then in 1967, in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Fredrickson, cholesterol classification, it's called the Fredrickson classification, said, no, no, no, we're doing it all wrong.
I'm paraphrasing.
We need to measure the cars, not the people in the cars.
So this is not a new concept.
We've known this forever.
The problem was you don't learn it in medical school, and if you don't learn it, how do you apply it?
Okay?
So now that you're able to get it anywhere, same thing.
You don't learn it in medical school, so there's lack of awareness.
Then there's lack of competence because very few doctors understand Lipoproteins at all.
I never learned it.
I didn't learn it until after just being curious with heart surgery.
And then the other thing is lack of time.
It takes too much time.
Doctors now are being bought up by healthcare systems, and their time is being regulated, and what they can do is being regulated, and you're lucky if you see a doctor for 5 minutes, 10 minutes.
And if you remember, I spend 50 minutes with people.
So the reason we started this company, actually, I started it with an entrepreneur named Jennifer Martucci, is because her aunt was sick in the hospital and there was no communication with doctors.
And I figured, okay, how do I spend more time with patients all over the place and teach them and not have that fear that doctors are going to come after you or they think, because now they view me as an asset.
Because they don't think I'm going to take their patients.
So now I work with doctors.
They call me for cholesterol management on their patients.
They call me for problems.
And we work as a team.
So in other words, a patient lives in New Jersey will call me.
They'll get their blood drawn.
They'll get their particles.
I'll have a consultation with them.
Tell them what to do.
If their doctor doesn't understand, most doctors will listen to me and do.
What's necessary.
If the doctor doesn't understand, we'll find him a new doctor.
Let's talk about the what's necessary.
The first thing that's necessary is to correctly assess your HDL level.
Is that a proper way of putting it?
Or irrelevant, just cholesterol level?
Irrelevant.
Are we talking traditional testing?
No, no.
What you believe they need to be tested for.
Well, it's not...
It's not what I believe.
It's a fact.
I love that.
You're talking to the persuader.
So yesterday I had a phone call with the person who's done all the clinical trials, who I wrote my book with, who's one of the authorities who invented LDL particle testing, Dr. Bill Cromwell, who's...
A famous international academician in lipidology.
And he said to me, I asked him, Bill, what's been going on?
Seems like things are going backwards, not forwards.
And he said to me, you're right.
He goes, you've been doing it right all along, and that's probably because you're a heart surgeon and you understand the process.
The problem is now that there's, instead of one society making...
Guidelines, there's seven societies making recommendations, and they're all opposite.
So the endocrinologists listen to the endocrinologists.
The cardiologists choose the American Heart Association or the American College of Cardiology.
And they're all focused on treatment.
But how can you treat people if you don't identify them?
So by measuring LDL particles...
Which is basically an MRI of the blood.
You miss nobody.
You identify every single 100% of the people at risk you identify.
So I view it as my responsibility.
If you don't want to have treatment, that's great.
That's your call.
But let me tell you what the facts are.
So last week I had a patient call me.
He dug out his...
Thumb drive from 2013 and he called me and he said, you know, I've been thinking about this for so long after your show with Dennis and you saved Dennis' life.
My cholesterol is normal, but for some reason I don't think it's normal.
And he had his particle testing and it was through the roof.
So I know he's listening right now because he told me and he's been told all along that he's fine.
And he's not.
So our goal is to identify everybody.
And heart disease, every one in three deaths in the United States is cardiovascular disease.
There were 951,000 deaths, I think the last time was 2013, from cardiovascular disease.
And because we are now going from a population...
We're going population-based.
That's what Kaiser is, dealing with populations.
Precision medicine is almost impossible to do now.
All right.
We will be back in a moment.

Describe Liz Taylor putting on her jeans.
That is a great joke.
What do you mean you can't do a joke like that today?
That is a great joke.
You just did it on this program.
I love it.
Hip hip.
So has that just ever appeared anywhere?
Oh, yes.

Well, when you write a joke like that, that's like, I think, Dick Cavett's first major joke was...
There's a new restaurant, and it's Chinese-German.
The only problem is, an hour after you eat there, you're hungry for power.
That's a great joke.

Biden makes these assertions about this Georgia law.
Says you can't give people water.
Says it shrinks voting hours, both of which are lies.
Now, as you know, a man who now lives in Florida was dog for four years.
With a running tab by one of the major newspapers about all the lies he tells.
Biden tells his big, massive lies, does them quietly, doesn't scream or yell.
Media doesn't say a damn thing.
Now, is that because the media doesn't know he's lying?
or doesn't care.
Dennis Prager here, a man that I attribute a good portion of my excellent health to.
He was here, first time in seven years.
He took a sabbatical.
He was spending most of his time meditating in Nepal.
I have no idea what you've been doing.
No, actually, I got a business degree from USC. Is that right?
I got a master's in medical management.
Business degree from USC and meditating in Nepal are very similar.
Exactly.
Dr. Michael Richmond is a board-certified cardiovascular, no, cardiothoracic surgeon.
And he has this patient advocacy group where he talks to doctors.
It's a very interesting concept.
And it's up at DennisPrager.com.
We're also putting up an article, correct?
Right.
That you wrote or both articles?
No, the one that was just put up, I actually wrote for the National Lipid Association.
For people, it wasn't targeted for doctors.
And back in like 2010, explaining advanced lipoprotein testing in layman's terms.
But what we need to explain is what atherosclerosis is so people really understand.
And atherosclerosis is blocking or plaque buildup in the arteries in your neck, causes strokes.
In your heart, causes heart attacks.
If it's in your legs...
You get dead toes or sores on your toes.
So what happens is these lipoprotein particles traffic the cholesterol around the body.
And you need cholesterol.
And if you remember from biology, diffusion.
Simple.
Stuff flows in life from greatest to least.
So if you have a membrane, if you have something with holes in it, the side that has a lot flows through to the side that has a little.
Diffusion.
Simple.
So if you have an artery and you have, I don't care how many people are in the cars, and you have too many cars, they go through the wall of the artery by diffusion.
Once they actually get into the wall of the artery, they're eaten up by a cell called the macrophage.
It becomes what's called the foam cell.
They all gather together and they form a cholesterol plaque.
So contrary to what people think, it doesn't happen on the inside of the artery.
Artery where the blood flows, it actually has to get into the wall of the artery.
If it can't get into the wall of the artery, in other words, if there's not a lot of particles, you don't get out of there with sclerosis.
Okay, so the whole purpose is how do we lower your particle number?
And we know now there's solid research.
There's no particle number that's too low.
You drive it down as low as you can and you reduce events.
Okay.
This is life-saving stuff to get the right number, folks, on the lipoprotein or the lipids.
At paladinmds.com and LabCorp, which he has no vested interest in, is one of the places that measures it properly.
Tell your doctor.
Or call, you know, contact me.
Or have you tell their doctor.
Dr. Richmond, thank you.
Happy to be here and hope we can do it again soon.

A few weeks ago, we had on the man who's going to be the next mayor of New York, Curtis Sliwa.
Well, I thought, you know what?
We've got some friends across the pond.
Why don't we see if we can find out who's going to be the next mayor of London?
We figured out who it is.
I'm not kidding.
His name is Lawrence Fox.
Lawrence, welcome to the program.
Hi, Eric.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
You're hoarse from your first stump speech, aren't you?
I am a bit.
I was quite nervous doing my first stump speech, I have to say.
People don't know this.
Listen, I have to frame this, and you can feel free to interrupt me.
And I'm not kidding.
But I want people to understand that you're initially in your life, you're an actor.
You're principally known as an actor.
So people want to know, why did Lawrence Fox, the actor from the acting family, suddenly decide to go into politics and to say, yes, I would like to run to be the mayor?
Of London.
I mean, again, remember that most of the audience is American.
They cannot fathom what's going on in London.
So give us an idea for those of us who are not following the horrors of what your current mayor is doing.
Yeah, we'll get on to my current mayor.
He's dreadful.
I think the reason why I'm not acting now is because about a year and a...
A year and a couple of months ago, I went on a TV show in England called Question Time.
I went on that show and I got into an argument with someone who said that I wasn't allowed a view because of my white privilege.
And I said, let's not be racist to each other.
That went down pretty badly.
So my show business career ended pretty quickly after that with the actors union in the UK calling for me to be denounced.
because I berated a woman of color. - Keep up with what's trending.

The police kill, every year, more unarmed whites.
Then they kill unarmed blacks.
Heather McDonald says that a black man is 18 and a half times more likely to kill a cop, to kill a white cop than the other way around.
Is that relevant to you?
The number one cause preventable death for young white men is accidents, car accidents, drownings, things like that.
Number one cause preventable death for young black men, homicide, almost always at the hands of another young black man.
The percentage of blacks who are unarmed, killed by cops, represents roughly one-third of one percent of all the blacks who are killed in this country every year.

Well uh...
Okay, y'all.
I'm Dennis Prager, and it is a pleasure to be with you.
Thank you.
If you do not hear all three hours of this show, it may hurt your health.
I literally mean that.
I had a doctor on who has played a seminal role in my own health.
From many years ago.
It hasn't been on in seven years.
And you can hear all of my hours through PragerTopia.
You can hear them live in many, many ways on iHeartRadio, DennisPrager.com, at your local station.
Well, no, pretty much DennisPrager.com and iHeartRadio.
Live and, of course, without commercials right after the show at PragerTopia.com.
I've talked about nutrition a lot in my career and health a lot.
I believe that we have treated the COVID issue, for example, completely incorrectly.
It's been a disgrace around the world.
Should have focused on therapeutics, not a vaccine.
Therapeutics means preventing people from getting it and giving them a medical therapy if they do.
That the medical associations have come out either agnostic or opposed to hydroxychloroquine and zinc and ivermectin means that they are, in my opinion, And therefore I somewhat stake my reputation on this.
They are complicit in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans and God knows how many people in other places.
And it's all over the world.
This is not a right-left issue.
The right handful of conservative leaders in the world have been as panic-stricken as the leftists.
The only exception has been Sweden, which is moderate left.
So I have no political agenda in telling you how disgraceful the medical profession has been in this regard.
Some doctor, just revealing the pathetic state of too many doctors in intellectual honesty, condemned my article on outdoor mask wearing.
Which has somewhat gone viral, so you can read it anywhere.
Just put in Dennis Prager, mask wearing.
And he said, who are you to write about this?
Are you an epidemiologist or a medical doctor?
Clearly he never read the article.
All I did is quote epidemiologists and medical doctors, including the New England Journal of Medicine.
Which last year said masks outdoors were essentially useless.
Yes, useless.
Then they did a little CYA because they got pressure.
In this case, it was from the left.
They said, oh, we're not telling people.
But they didn't retract one word of the article.
And it's all in my column.
Anyway, that's the health issue.
I was talking about United's statement that now half of those they put in training school will be women and people of color.
So United has announced that safety is not its first concern.
Okay?
So you now have a choice.
Left-wing Delta?
Or incompetent united.
Okay.
It's really something, isn't it?
The left ruins everything it touches.
There is no exception.
There hasn't been since the French Revolution and then the Russian Revolution.
Since Vladimir Lenin in 1917, everything the left has touched it is destroyed.
We had such really good race relations in this country.
Really good.
By and large, blacks didn't give a damn if you were white.
Whites didn't give a damn if you were black.
That was not true in 1950 or 1850. But it was true by 2000. Overwhelmingly.
People just got along fine.
The left loathes calm.
Loathes it.
The left are...
I always forget the word.
What is the name of a person who constantly creates emotional chaos?
Thank you, that was correct.
The left are drama queens.
That is exactly right.
If you don't like a sexist element to drama queen, they are drama kings as well.
It was going too nicely in America for them.
They create crisis.

Joe Biden has done more damage in a few months than Donald Trump did in four years.
Donald Trump did more good in the first month.

Oh, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Like I was preoccupied with Donald Trump.
I was preoccupied with America.
I was opposed to Donald Trump when he ran the primaries, actually.
Turned out to be, except for his over-the-top tweets, which I wish he didn't make, but he turned out to be a great president.
I know it's unfashionable to say, but I measure a president based on, was the country better?
As a result of his presidency?
And the answer is yes.
Was the world better?
Yes.
Is the world or America better because of the Joe Biden presidency?
No, it is absolutely worse.
We're printing money like it's monopoly money.
Most of it goes to bail out Democratic governors and mayors who promised funds to the state and federal, not federal, state unions, state and city unions.

They say, oh, it's to bail out people.
Or the other, the infrastructure.
What percentage of the infrastructure bill is going to infrastructure?
What was it?
6%.

They lie with the ease with which you breathe.
I am curious.
When you fly United from now on, let's say beginning two years from now, and you see a pilot of color or a female pilot, will you immediately assume, wow, that person is excellent?
How could you assume that?
I assume that now.
But as soon as you announce we will make a quota on the numbers of X group, then X group is cast in doubt, right?
By definition.
Are you a pilot because you're great?
Or are you a pilot because you are a person of color or a female?
There will be no way to know.
The people who should object the most to this policy are women.
And people of color.
That's whom it hurts the most.
Plus the United brand.
You have announced for the first time in aviation history, safety is not your primary concern.
Just as the military is now not primarily concerned with winning wars, but with social activism among the troops.
There's very little left for the left to ruin.
Alright, was I speaking to John in Atlanta?
I think I was, and I appreciate your hanging on.
Hello, John.
Hey, Dennis.
Thank you.
So, let me understand.
You're a pilot and instructor?
I am.
I am.
And I was saying that since really the late 80s, the airlines have, in the name of affirmative action, African-American female pilots as they can so that their numbers look good on paper.
And it's fair to say that pilots of minority status to get hired with lots of hours do very well.
They're just fine.
They have the experience.
But the airlines are reaching deeper into...
A pile of inexperienced pilots to try and up their numbers.
And it's unfair to them.
That's right.
Hold on.
This is really important.
And a man I believe who knows his stuff Trending now on the Mike Dillinger show Coca-Cola cowards Read the damn bill.

I'd like to ask, I want you to ask a woman in your life, your wife, your girlfriend, your daughter, your mother, sister-in-law, mistress, masseuse, I'd like you to ask a woman in your life, who would you rather be your pilot?
A person chosen solely on the basis of who is best at being pilot, or a woman who was Placed in aviation school because they needed to fill a quota for women.
And the understanding is she went through the same training.
Absolutely.
Ask a woman in your life whom she'd rather have.

I'm being deliberately absurd because the whole thing is deliberately absurd.

John, your last holiday break got cut off.
He kind of made my point.
My point being, I have a quick story for you that you'll like.
This has been going on since the early 90s, late 80s.
But nobody knew about it, and that wasn't every minority PMO pilot was not as qualified as it would be us to put that way.
But the vast majority locked in with combat time, heavy jet time, whatever, and their policy just minimized those pilots.
And I'd be upset if I was one of them.
You would be upset if what?
If I was an existing United pilot that was black.
I was just minimized.
Yes, exactly.
That is correct.
Thank you for affirming that as a pilot yourself.
It's true.
I said this from the beginning.
Affirmative action.
The reason I opposed it was because it hurt the people it was supposed to help.
In 1960, if you'd have seen, if there was a black doctor, and there were black doctors.
Your assumption was not only that he is usually a he, was superb given the obstacles to black success put up in many places in America, fully admittedly.
That he must be even better because he has succeeded.
And now it is the opposite.
All because The left has so hurt blacks and everybody else.
This is the way people will board an airplane.
Social policy should not direct hiring when lives are at stake.
I don't think it should affect hiring at any time.

You know, when we're comparing it to tall Jewish people, you know, flying a plane, I think we're just, you're taking the absurdity of the left to the next level yourself.
I agree.
I said something even more absurd than the left says.
Because there's not much left.
It's very hard to parody the left.

That are ludicrous, and then a year later, they turn out to be a left-wing position.

If it's people of color, why can't you say colored?
I mean that quite openly and sincerely.
Be that as it may, that's what they've done.
That's all they've done.
The people most hurt by the United decision after the passengers are the people of color pilots and the female pilots.
And there is no doubt in my mind.
No doubt in my mind.
Most black, most non-white pilots and female pilots are opposed to this announcement by United.
All they're thinking of is, you narcissistic left-wing fools, you have undermined my life of hard work by telling the world I got in.
Because of affirmative action, not excellence.
There are seven words that you're not allowed to say on the radio, is that correct?
Is the word for illegitimate child one of them?
You can't say that on the radio?
You can?
Okay.
Then my belief is...
That virtually every female pilot and virtually every black pilot right now thinks that they work for bastards.

Hey, Dennis and John.
Sorry I got disconnected.
But, you know, the major airline training programs are very challenging.
And the more hours that a pilot has when they come through the door, they're a better chance of success.
And by reaching into the minority pool by looking for less experienced pilots in order to satisfy affirmative action numbers, it's very unfair to these pilots because they have a difficult time getting through the training.
It is my job to make sure they don't get to the seat of an airliner unless they meet the qualifications.
I would venture to say, if you look at airline training programs that are reaching deep for minority pilots, that the failure rate is very high for those pilots.
That's exactly what happens with affirmative action of colleges.
It's part of the reason so many black college students are angry.
They went to a college which was more challenging than their background allowed.
By the way, it would have happened to me.
I went to Columbia Graduate School, but I couldn't have done the work in Columbia Undergraduate.
I just wasn't up to it.
Anyway, that's very important.
So what is United going to do?
Will it lower standards?
It really can't lower standards because the FAA will drive those standards.
But what they're going to do is they're going to spend a lot of money trying to train pilots.
And when those pilots don't make it through, they will out of necessity be let go.
And then they'll be accused of racism.
Well, that happens, yes.
There's a lot of lawsuits that occur when minority pilots...

Then they kill unarmed blacks.
Heather McDonald says that a black man is 18 and a half times more likely to kill a white cop than the other way around.

The number one cause of preventable death for young white men is accidents, car accidents, drownings, things like that.
Number one cause of preventable death for young black men, homicide, almost always at the hands of another young black man.
The percentage of blacks who are unarmed, killed by cops, represents roughly one-third of one percent of all the blacks who are killed in this country every year.

I'm torn because I want to talk about a lot of things.
But this one fascinates me.
Sarah in Torrance, California.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
So I've called in because I'm a teacher.
And one of the principles in education is the five core beliefs.
No, this is not widespread, but the five core beliefs include belonging.
And belonging is the idea that people like me do work like this.
And there's a study that shows that even showing in a math class that a mathematician has the same birthday as the student helps the student do better in math.
So if you apply that to the idea of, you know, inclusive policies, quote-unquote, I can understand why people would go there, but I do want to say that it is irrational.
It's not rational at all.
Having the same birthday as Pascal is not going to mean you're going to be like Pascal, but that's just the idea.
So I understand why people are really excited about...
I have a friend who was born on Hitler's birthday.
Yeah, it's completely irrational, you know?
I have a friend who was born on 9-11, you know?
Yeah, no, no.
My mother-in-law was.
So, alright, thank you.
I appreciate that.
I have to say, whenever I hear there's a study that shows I can't say that I immediately surrender my capacity to think critically.
However, we are taught at college, oh, there's a study.
Do you know how often I will write a column, so I would say, let's say for example, men are more visually stimulated than women, which is pretty much like saying that water is H2O. That's how obvious it is.
And the proof is that gay men are visually stimulated by males.
And that's the way male sexual arousal, one of the ways it works is the visual, which is a cause of a lot of trouble, but it is a fact.
And so there will always be those commenting.
I read comments a lot, not only on my own articles.
Constantly, you will see, well, where are the studies?
So you are taught in college not to think.
You are taught to find a study.
Overwhelmingly, the studies in the social sciences, as opposed to the natural sciences, and the social sciences is a phony term itself, it showed the inferiority complex of the non-scientific disciplines.
With regard to the scientific disciplines, social, political science.
I mean, it's a joke.
I don't know what Columbia calls it now, but it resisted the trend to call its courses or its department of political science.
It called it government.
It's a far more accurate term than political science.
But anyway, they have all these studies.
Studies show.
I believe there's a study that shows that if I have the same birthday as my math teacher, I'll do better.
I also think it's ridiculous.
Does common sense suggest to you that you would do better?
My math teacher?
I never did well in algebra.
Okay?
That's not the way my brain thinks in X's and squares and so on.
You know, as in the exponential signs.
If my teacher shared my birthday, I can't think of a less significant factor in whether I would grasp A squared plus B squared equals C squared.
Is that algebra or is that geometry?
anyway so it shows you the fact that I even asked it gives you a insight into my mathematical impoverishment a study shows we are obligated to think Yes, indeed.
Did you know that President, former President Obama saluted the...
An all-star decision.
Did you know that?
Congratulations to MLB for taking a stand on behalf of voting rights for all citizens, Obama tweeted on Saturday morning.

This is a perfect example.
He's a rabble-rouser.
He's a calm rabble-rouser.
He's not Al Sharpton in demeanor.
Al Sharpton is just a lowlife.
But Barack Obama is very sophisticated in his race-baiting, in his disuniting of Americans based on race.
A man was raised by a white mother.
Did he ever even know his black father?
What's the story there?
I know he went back to Africa, but the black father.
Did they...
Well, they met once?
All right, so growing up he didn't know him, right?
He was raised by a white mother.
A white leftist mother, I might add.
Which is unfortunate.
Colin Kaepernick, wasn't he raised by white parents?
Right?
These people really, they have real reason to believe whites are awful.
Well, as I have had the opportunity to say, and will say again, as a non-WASP, white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, I'm not Anglo-Saxon or Protestant, I... I give these people credit for making the greatest country in the history of the world.
They didn't do it because they're white, any more than the Nazis did what they did because they're white, or Stalin did what he did because he's white.

Biden makes these assertions about this Georgia law.

Says it shrinks voting hours, both of which are lies.
Now, as you know, a man who now lives in Florida was dog for four years.
With a running tab by one of the major newspapers about all the lies he tells.
Biden tells his big, massive lies, does them quietly, doesn't scream or yell.

There is a law governing physics.

They really don't.
They don't understand that It's somewhat of a meaningless statement.

Any scientist worth his salt will tell you, don't vaccinate children.

Why give it to children?
More children die of the flu than die of COVID. Why give them a vaccine?

If you missed by two days with regard to something that happened a year ago, that's pretty darn good.
If you missed by two days something that happened this week, that's pretty darn bad.
That's how it works, let's be honest.
So I asked them, remember I asked them, can you read cursive?
And proudly they said, we can even write it.
Good.
I was happy to hear that.
Would you put that down as a possible subject?
I would like, I don't think it deserves an hour, but it deserves a segment or two.
Does your high school student read cursive?
Script, as we used to call it.
And can they write it?
Incidentally, I've always wondered, if you can't read or write cursive, how do you sign your name?
Signature by definition, I think, is in cursive.

I consider City Journal and the Claremont Review of Books to be the two most important journals today.
Would you agree with me on that?

Wow.
Claremont Review of Books and City Journal.
Now, you used to say that the Journal of Neonatal Endocrinology was one of your favorite.
I'm talking to you, Mr. Producer.
Is that no longer the case?
It's still a favorite.
Okay.
Things haven't changed that much.
Here we go.
Bruce Bauer, B-A-W-E-R, who is a very important writer.
It's about a man in Canada named...
I have his last name.
Rob, yeah.
Rob Hoogland.
At this moment, a Vancouver postman.
Named Rob Hoogland is sitting in a jail cell in British Columbia.
British Columbia is the province above the state of Washington.
He will be there at least until April 12. What is today's date?
April 8th.
When he's scheduled for a court date, at that time he may be ordered to remain behind bars for a period yet to be Determined.
Has Hoogland killed or robbed somebody?
Is he an arsonist, a rapist?
No.
What did he do?
Short answer, he tried to save his emotionally unstable daughter from self-destruction.
The long answer begins in the 2015-2016 school year when, as Hoogland recounted, To a talk last summer, excuse me, yes, it says recounted to, oh no, recounted in.
His then fifth grade daughter was getting into trouble at school in Hoogland and his estranged wife, whom he divorced in the spring of 2015, decided it might be good for her to see her school counselor.
Since it's forbidden by the British Columbia Supreme Court to make her name public, she's referred to as A.B. Hoogland is C.D., the girl's mother is E.F. Unknown to Hoogland, A.B. continued to see school counselors well into 7th grade.
Now, why would that be unknown to Hoogland?
Because...
The school is not obligated to tell the parent that your child is seeing a state-supported therapist.
When one day she suddenly cut her hair very short at the end of the school year, Hoogland saw she was listed in her yearbook under a male name.
Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine?
All of a sudden seeing your daughter, you were not told this?
You see your daughter listed with a male name?
It turned out that the school had been feeding her transgender ideology and that she'd already begun socially transitioning, quote-unquote, To a male identity under the direction of a psychologist, Wallace Wong, who was encouraging her to take testosterone.
To this end, Wong referred her to an endocrinologist at the Gender Clinic and Children's Hospital in Vancouver.
Wow.
These activist therapists on behalf of a kid.
You won't be you.
Do you realize we don't have the statistic for the most important question with regard to young people transitioning to the other sex?
Right?
You know what the most important question is?
How many regret it later?
How come we don't have that statistic?
Because the media don't get it and don't want it.
The pursuit of truth, however, would demand it.
In any event, all of this happened without the parent knowing.
Got an activist psychologist there at school.
50 years ago, or 25 years ago, a 6th grader, 5th grader, said, I'm...
A girl said, I'm a boy.
The therapist would say, you're not.
You're a girl, and let's work it through.
Not now.
Now the therapist says, of course you're a boy.
And you work that through, and you will be a happy human being, which very rarely is the case.
It is a tragedy if you identify with the other sex, as a member of that sex.
And that's the fact.
It's not a judgment.
It's a fact.
It's a tragedy.
It used to be understood that gender dysphoria is vanishingly rare, typically afflicts boys, and almost always begins to manifest when a child is extremely young.
In recent years, however, there's been an epidemic in many Western countries of older girls who suddenly claim to be in the wrong body.
This, quote, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, unquote, as Abigail Schreier, who's been on the show often and does a PragerU video on the subject, argues in her important 2020 book, Irreversible Damage, the transgender craze seducing our daughters, is a fad rooted in a number of contemporary social factors.
Let's now go back to the Hoogland case here.
And Hoogland was told that he cannot, it would be illegal for him to tell his daughter that she is a girl, illegal to call her by her female name, and illegal for any therapist to try to work out.
Her gender dysphoria.
By eighth grade, her school was making special bathroom arrangements for her and requiring that she be addressed by her new name.
Early in the school year, she was taken to the province's top transgender psychologist expert, known in court documents as I.J. This goes down the alphabet.
When Hoogland first met IJ a month or two later, he asked him to treat AB, that's the daughter, for depression.
He promised would solve all her problems.
Accordingly, he referred her to the gender clinic at British Columbia Children's Hospital, where after a single hour's examination, an endocrinologist decided to put her on puberty blockers, We will be back.

Hello.
The story you know by now, so if you have this tingling and pins in your extremities, like hands and feet in particular, I had in my feet much of my life.
Major nuisance, sometimes just maybe even walking hard.
Finally got inserts.
Learned about vitamin B from this wonderful doctor in LA, Dr. Shulian.
I recommend to people who have those conditions.
And then I had inserts 10 years ago placed in my shoes.
They worked for at least when I wore their shoes.
And then I read about Nerve Renew.
I decided to try it about nine months later.

Catherine in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Hello.
Oh, thank you for taking my call.
I have a daughter who's now 23, but when she was in her junior year of high school, she somehow decided to do much of what you're talking about, and we have, as a family, lived through it.
My husband and I are on the same page, It's a heartbreaking thing to have to live with.
I have six children, and this is my daughter, number three, who has decided to live her life as a male and has done the testosterone and has had the chest surgery.
And she was in college at the time, and we didn't support her in that.
We support her.
We don't support her actions.
And we love her.
We don't approve of what she does, but we accept her.
And this is a real hurt that befalls families in which this happens to.
And I just want you and the listeners to know that.
It's not something you'd wish on anybody.
And it was truly the rapid onset gender dysphoria.
She was a normal, bright, intelligent, tall, athletic, A young woman, and a social contagion happened at her school, and a bunch of them decided to become girlfriends with each other, and then my daughter chose to go to the extreme of doing the gender stuff.
Are you in touch with your daughter slash son?
Thanks be to God, yes I am.
She doesn't live in...
She has moved away.
She went to college.
She graduated from college.
She's in her job.
Does she resent your calling her she?
I would never...
I view it this way.
I am looking to have a relationship with her where I can.
So when I'm with her, I call her by the name she has asked us to call her by.
But that was a long time in coming.
We had to process that because you're grieving the name that you gave your child.
Was there a bunch of girls who did this?
Is that what you said?
Yes.
It was a social group.
How many other girls did this at that school?
Probably about seven.
Now, I want my listeners to answer to me.
Do you really believe...
That this school had seven girls who identified as boys by incredible coincidence?
Or were they shaped by the forces that are so pro-trans at our time?
Do you know if any of those other girls has gone back to being female?
They have.
They've gone back to being heterosexual.
They've gone back to a more regular viewpoint.
How many?
I don't know because...
And how do you know any who did?
Have you been in touch with them?
Well, you know, I hear from other mothers, you know, oh, that one did this and this one did that.
But it is a social contagion to be...
that you have to watch and you have to...
As a parent, wonder about who your kids are around.
That's true for everything.
That's a given.
So your daughter slash son, which sex does your child date?
You know, I believe that she dates girls, but I don't know.
You know, she dates people she's interested in.
It isn't about their gender.
That's the way she puts it, which is, you know...
Right.
We don't talk about her dating like that.
I see.
Okay.
I'm always curious about that and, of course, how the people react.
So she had a double mastectomy?
Yes.
It broke our heart.
Of course it would.
It breaks my heart, and I don't know her.
The doctor who performed this, what age was your child?
She was, I think she was 20 at the time.
I see.
All right.
She's 19 or 20. All right.
Listen, God bless you.
Well, just think of these paper cuts that parents have to deal with, with all of this stuff coming up, and they have their kids thinking about doing this, and you are, as a parent, mortified and embarrassed and hurt, and you can't be publicly supported, because if you disagree with your child, you are the phobe.
You're the one who's wrong.
And it's not that I'm wrong, it's just that we have differing opinions.
Support and love my child.
I will always love my child.
But we can disagree about how you live your life.
I hear you.
Okay, thank you.
Seven girls.
If that is not a living...
Abigail Schreier should write a book just on that school.
Using that as an example, seven girls decide that they're boys.
Well, it ain't easy to be a parent today.
You're at war with your society.
Imagine that.
we return trending now on the Eric Metaxas show Did you move to LA from New York?
I moved very shortly out thereafter because while I couldn't write for Letterman, I was perfect for Johnny Carson.
And so I asked my now friend, David Letterman, would he please send a package out to his connections?
He's already been guest hosting that show for years and whatnot.
So what happened?
The Tonight Show said...
Nah, we're not interested.
Yeah, Johnny was going through a miserable divorce.
And by the way, I remember the very first joke because he did use some of the material I sent out.
The very first joke.
Now, you wouldn't be able to do this joke today because it's body shaming.
And you have to remember the reference is, I guess, now 35, maybe even, gosh.
Is this a Toady Fields joke or a Mama Cass Elliot joke?
Sort of.
Sort of.
All right.
Remember Karnak the Magnificent?
The answer is, the answer is hip hip hooray.
The question, describe Liz Taylor putting on her jeans.
That is a great joke.
What do you mean you can't do a joke like that today?
That is a great joke.
You just did it on this program.
I love it.
Hip hip.
So has that joke ever appeared anywhere?
Yes, every time I'm on the air.
Every time you're on the air.
Hip hip.
Well, when you write a joke like that, that's like a, I think Dick Cavett's first major joke was, There's a new restaurant, and it's Chinese-German.
The only problem is, an hour after you eat there, you're hungry for power.
That's a great joke.
It's a stupid joke.
Anyway, okay, so hip hip hooray.
Can I tell a slightly off-color joke?
If you don't, we'll be offended.

Biden tells his big, massive lies, does them quietly, doesn't scream or yell.

Now, is that because the media doesn't know he's lying?
Or doesn't care?
Biden said, and Nancy Pelosi just reiterated it yesterday, That 83%, notice it's never 82, never 84, it's always 83. 83% of the Trump tax cuts went to the top 1%.
It's a lie.
Factcheck.org says it's not true.
That's a left-wing organization run by the Annenberg Foundation that's also left-wing, the Annenberg Center.
PolitiFact, also run by a left-wing organization, said it's not true.

My friends, I'm Dennis Prager, and I have an independent voice on the line with me.
Michael Fomento is a science writer, investigative journalist.
Michael Fomento runs against the herd for a living, and I have had him on the show for many years.
He is now in the Philippines.
He is a spy for the government of Nigeria, the only Nigerian spy in the Philippines at this time.
I am, of course, joking, Michael, but knowing you, anything is possible.
Is that fair to say?
You never know who's listening in on these shows, Dennis, so let's be careful.
I was wondering why there was some silence.
All right.
By the way, what time is it in the Philippines?
Late, or early if you prefer.
It's at 2.34 a.m.
Oh, my God.
I had a feeling it was a bad time to get you, but there's nothing I can do about it.
All right, Michael, I want to...
Wait, you're not going to shift the hours of your show for me?
I'm sorry?
You're not going to shift the hours of your show for me?
Oh, I know.
I would shift the hours of the show for you.
No, no, you're right.
And you're right to be insulted because you're an American and that now is expected that one is insulted.
So I am going to challenge you and me because I have agreed with you.
At the very beginning of COVID, you said that this was another example of hysteria.
I agreed with you then.
What is your position now in retrospect?
Well, I think I made some mistakes early on regarding various factors of how this would progress.
But it's hard to say what mistakes.
Because clearly there is mass hysteria going on here, including that we don't know, we have no idea whatsoever how many people have died of this disease.
An Italian study found that 99% of so-called COVID deaths were with COVID, not of COVID. That is to say there were other cofactors that could have been responsible.
Which is to say that if you take something like half a million people have died worldwide, the actual number could be as low as 5,000 worldwide.
We really have no idea.
And you know what?
We never will.
Right.
Well, I have announced that it is very difficult to find the...
Deaths numbers and excess deaths numbers for 2020 on the internet.
The CDC does not appear to have published them, and it would be interesting to compare them to previous years.
What, in retrospect, do you think most countries should have done as opposed to what they did?
Most countries probably could handle the so-called Swedish example where you put responsibility on the individual, which is really actually the entire purpose behind the article that I've just published in the American Conservative,
in which I note that what the United States government has done, and governments actually everywhere, It's desperately, desperately tried to take responsibility away from the individual.
They do not trust individuals.
They only trust heavy-handed government actions, which actually go so far as to fit the Marxist dialectic of the so-called dictatorship of the proletariat.
That's what they did.
It's correct.
So, in practicality, that would mean the government would say, look, if you are of a certain age, and especially if you have a certain set of comorbidities, you should do X. But if you are young, and if you are healthy, then go about your life normally.
Is that essentially what you think would be the best advice?
Yes, and yet, where I live, the Philippines happens to go.
It's pretty much the most authoritarian government in the world regarding COVID. And it is the law here that if you are under 15, or over 65 for that matter, you cannot leave the house.
And it's been that law for over a year, and it's going to be that law indefinitely.
Oh my God, hold on.
I did not know that.

ReliefFactor.com 800-500-8384 I had a kind of epiphany today.
Maybe I'm a bit softy deep down.
If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you.
But sometimes, especially, let me get personal, not when I get attacked, but even then, when it's really vituperative, when it's really despicable, I have a certain feeling.
But when they attack my family, and when they've attacked my children, there's usually a point in the year where I just...
I find myself asking a certain question, a very human question.
Why do they do that?
Why would you do that to a fellow human being?
And it puzzles me because I could never do that.
I can be harsh.
I can be very robust.
In what I say, some would say aggressive.
But it's not because I detest and wish to destroy human beings.
I'm a rational human, and I can separate the person from the ideology, the sin from the sinner.
I don't wish to destroy my fellow man.
If you threaten my family, I will kill you.
That is what every father and husband should be prepared to do.
You try to use lethal force against somebody I love and I will die to save them.

Describe Liz Taylor putting on her jeans.
That is a great Hi, everybody.
Dennis Prager here, talking to an independent voice.
I try to bring them to your attention whenever possible, because we're living in the normal age, the age of the herd, and nobody is more herd-like than those in the medical profession.
Talking about the response to COVID. I must say, I've followed this more than any single issue, perhaps, at any given time in my life.
I've been obsessed with the COVID issue and what has gone wrong.
And I did not know of the draconian measures where you live in the Philippines.
I'd like you to repeat that again.
What did you say about people under 15?
People under actually 20 for the longest time were not allowed to leave the house in the Philippines.
Only in the last few months has that been changed to under 15. So if you're under 15 and you leave the house and you don't have special permission from the mayor, you can, in fact, be arrested and subject to fines, punishment.
It actually, I'm amazed, it made international news.
That a curfew violator, we also have curfews here.
We've had curfews since the very beginning, 13 months ago.
A curfew violator close to where I live the other day, get this, the curfew was at 6 p.m.
He went out to get some water after 6 p.m.
He was caught by the cops.
And they made him do exercises until he died.
Oh yes, that's right, yes.
Squats.
300 squats.
I do remember reading about it.
And he went home and he died.
He had sort of a heart attack.
Yes, I did read that story.
So, without getting into the issue of the Philippines, which is a fascinating issue I would like to get into, but I want to understand, I don't even understand the thinking.
Why would the least likely to die of COVID be the ones forced to stay indoors?
Well, the theory is that they get out and about more than older people and therefore would be more likely to infect people.
And, you know, it was an interesting theory maybe 13 months ago, but what we've learned since then is that these people almost never, they have the least chance of getting COVID, they have the least chance of dying of COVID, almost no chance of dying of it.
Right.
And, therefore, because they have a small chance of getting it, they have a very small chance of transmitting it as well.
Even if they do get it, there's this concept called viral load, which means if you get it and you're very young, you probably have very little virus.
Even if you cough and sneeze, there's going to be very little virus in your coughs and your sneezes.
So this is a group that should be most mobile, the most allowed, if you will, to go about their business with the least restrictions.
Right, that's right.
That's why I asked it.
This is all part of...
Michael, what has happened to the Philippine economy?
It's now crashed more than any Southeast Asian economy at the same time that our COVID cases per capita are the highest of any Southeast Asian country.
Now, what does that tell you?
It tells you that authoritarianism doesn't cure COVID. Yes, it does.
That is correct.
What is your position?
I have no idea what your answer is.
What is your position on the vaccines?
Okay, yes, they are experimental because if they didn't get full FDA approval, that would have taken much, much longer.
Some of these have never been used before.
The mRNA is a completely different concept.
So I don't blame, or I wouldn't have blamed people a couple of months ago for being highly skeptical.
But you know what?
All the people who every day are getting these vaccines, they're all guinea pigs.
They're all, you know, kind of giving information for the rest of us.
And what I've seen so far is that the FDA did make correct decisions that these vaccines, while they are not...
Don't have 0% risk.
They appear no riskier than past flu shots or the MMR, and actually less risky than vaccines that, of course, have been yanked, such as dengue was yanked here.
There was a flu vaccine back in 1976 that was yanked in the United States.
It does happen, but it's not going to happen with these vaccines.
If I were offered these vaccines, I would take them.
Good to hear.
So what is the story on vaccines availability in the Philippines?
Virtually zero.
What's happening is the government here will only distribute vaccines that have been donated.
They will not buy vaccines.
Well, if you're not willing to open your purse and make some purchases, you're really limiting yourself.
Well, you're also...
And you're crushing your economy if you're not allowing the people to work.
Your article is about obesity.
Let's move on, because I want people to know about your article.
I could talk to you for a long time.
By the way, Michael Fomento's article is up at DennisPrager.com.
So you wrote about obesity and other comorbidities.
Go ahead.
Well, as you remember, I had a book in 1987 called The Fat of the Land, about how obesity was causing absolute havoc in the United States and elsewhere in the world, and basically being ignored.
Since then, obesity has just exploded in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world.
And so it's causing more morbidity than ever, more mortality than ever.
It appears that obesity alone causes more premature death in the United States than any other illness.
Ignored for decades.
Alright, I'm going to take more, obviously, with you.
Michael Fomento's piece is up at DennisPrager.com.
Hopefully he'll be able to go back to sleep after the interview.

Well, I'm confused.
I'm confused.
Okay, everybody.
You should read any of Michael Fomento's books.
See, Michael Fomento doesn't care what the reigning authorities say.
He cares what is true.
And I learned this because of his original major, major work.
Before it was a book, I read it.
The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS. Not in Africa, but in America.
It was one of the many hysterias of the left.
So the comorbidity thing on COVID, and especially obesity, is that what you would single out?
Right.
It's not just that obesity we've known for a long time.
Obesity in and of itself is killing massive numbers of Americans and other people.
But now with COVID, it turns out that besides age, Obesity appears to be the number one comorbidity, pre-existing condition, if you will, for death with or by COVID. And yet, how often do you read this in the regular media?
The answer is probably between none and zero.
It's what I call the third rail.
Wait, why do you think that is?
You don't go there.
Why?
Because for decades now, the American public health establishment has sought to take away personal responsibility and stick it on the government.
Now, we saw this with AIDS. That's really kind of where this began.
Remember, we're all in this together.
AIDS was 100% preventable.
Yes, but we can't have that.
We do have to all be in this together.
You've heard exactly the same slogan with COVID. We're all in this together.
Every life counts and other shibboleths.
And it's really just gotten worse over the last few decades with both obesity and with COVID. So with obesity, you cannot say anymore people get fat because they eat too much and they exercise too much.
You cannot say that.
Basically, it kind of comes down to black magic.
We used to know what caused obesity, and we no longer do.
It's black magic.
All right, my friend.
I have his articles up at DennisPrager.com, and I hope they let you out of your house in Cebu City in the Philippines.
