	Thank you.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	I am talking to you from New York City, which, from the little I saw yesterday, yes, indeed, that's not quite the mood here.
	From the little I saw yesterday, it's pretty dead.
	My wife and I are, I think, among maybe a dozen people in this hotel.
	A hotel that I have stayed at many times before in midtown Manhattan.
	And it's almost hard to believe.
	Needless to say, they were very happy to have somebody come in.
	There are no tourists.
	So the only people are either visiting people or returning people or business people.
	My business is that I will be on Fox News, Greg Gutfeld's new show, tomorrow night.
	And Fox has brought me into New York City.
	I'm going to play for you a seminal moment in American history, and specifically American journalism history.
	You will now understand That there is zero intent on the part of most journalists to report truth, that they do not see their role as that.
	They have not for decades.
	I wrote about this many years ago.
	Reporters do not believe that their only task is to report.
	That doesn't change society.
	There is this great desire.
	To be in the forefront of those who are changing society.
	Just to report news is nothing.
	But to change society in the guise of reporting news, then your life is meaningful.
	What you are about to hear is almost unbelievable.
	The chief of police in Minnesota characterized the riots in Minneapolis as riots.
	And reporters shouted at him that they were not, in fact, riots.
	I don't know if there is any context.
	The context is simply a news conference that is being held by the chief of police.
	Now, of course, as you know, there were riots.
	I mean, there was the smashing of stores and looting, throwing very dangerous objects at police, concrete, frozen bottles of soda, or pop, as they call it in the Midwest.
	What did I say?
	Ah, cans, not bottles.
	Thank you.
	And if that's not a riot, then there's no such thing as a riot.
	But because the rioters are on the left and anti-police, you cannot use the truthful term.
	So just listen.
	It's not long.
	A couple of seconds.
	here goes is that that is a seminal moment in American history There was no riot.
	They're correcting the chief of police, who then goes on to speak about how they had to wear helmets to police.
	I'll give you another example here.
	It's from a Reuters report today where, let me, if I can find the exact word.
	Yeah, here it is.
	A Reuters report today on the man who was killed.
	Wright's death ignited two consecutive nights of, are you ready?
	What word do you think Reuters?
	Which is as reliably left as any of them.
	What word do you think Reuters will then use?
	Wright's death ignited two consecutive nights of...
	Here it goes.
	Unrest!
	Unrest!
	Okay, alright, we heard that.
	Thank you.
	I'll go back to it later.
	That's it!
	With hundreds of protesters clashing with law enforcement.
	So law enforcement had the audacity of clashing with protesters.
	Now, the law enforcement cannot stop peaceful protest.
	So the implication is clear in the Reuters article.
	has intervened in a peaceful protest.
	And the worst they would call it is unrest.
	But the people who went into the Capitol on January 6th, that was an insurrection against the United States.
	They lie every day.
	They lie whenever they write.
	They lie whenever they speak.
	That is the media.
	Every single day, virtually, I bring you another example of some major lie in the media.
	My column today is about the media and the way they ignored the race of the two girls in Washington, D.C. who killed the Pakistani Uber Eats driver.
	Whom they hijacked and who then tried to hold on to his car, his only source of living.
	And they crashed the car and it turned over on him and he died.
	And the girl's reaction, as reported by CBS locally and elsewhere, was, I left my phone in the car.
	As the man lay dying.
	On the sidewalk.
	One of the girls had already been involved in a carjacking, but so what?
	If you haven't carjacked in Washington, D.C., you're not in a minority, but you're not particularly special.
	Let's put it that way.
	You're not one of the guys, I guess, carjacks.
	This is the way the media work in the United States at this time.
	The question is, do bad people enter journalism or does journalism make you a bad person?
	Anyone who corrected the police chief cannot be described as a decent human being because they're using their profession to lie and to cover up evil.
	My favorite book, The Bible, has a word for the American journalist.
	Woe unto those who call good evil and evil good.
	January 6th is an insurrection, but the riots are unrest.
	Get it?
	1-8 Prager 776-877-243-7776 I'd like to share with you, Something that I told my synagogue this past Saturday.
	I used the Bible to understand and judge life.
	Why wouldn't I? Even if you're an atheist, it's the wisest set of books ever written, particularly the first five.
	Well, I was thinking about the Uber Eats driver.
	In Washington, D.C. And the fact that the girls will not be punished.
	And that the...
	Who was it?
	I forgot now.
	Was it the police chief?
	I think it was the police chief of Washington, D.C. Who said, why would we punish them?
	I'm paraphrasing.
	You can't bring back the dead.
	Right?
	This is a very interesting view now of punishment.
	If you can't, I guess, bring back the dead, well, I guess, why punish any murder then?
	If you can't bring back the dead, you can't bring back the dead in any example.
	So here is something you probably don't know unless you've read my rational Bible.
	And it is how a society is to deal with the death of any human being through homicide.

	I will ask for your reaction to the president's promise that nothing he recommended impinges on the Second Amendment.
	I guess, unique interpretation of what the Second Amendment is then.
	You know, if we're looking at the infringement upon the Second Amendment and the government trying to pass any kind of restrictions on that, I certainly think there's an argument to be said that if he's passing the idea that you can no longer build a firearm in your home, which has always been legal in America, even before the founding of our nation, you could build a firearm in your home.
	If he's now saying you can't do that, well, I would argue that we're looking at an infringement upon Second Amendment rights.
	If he's talking about reclassification, Classifying an entire class of pistols under the National Firearms Act, which would make it so you couldn't possess these firearms unless you submit your photo, you submit your fingerprints, you pay a $200 tax stamp and undergo extensive background checks through the ATF, and then put on a government watch list simply for exercising your Second Amendment rights.
	I think that that's called an infringement upon your rights, and I think that's something that the American public needs to reach out to their members of Congress and remind them that they are the check.
	On the executive branch.
	The legislative branch is one of the checks to keep the executive branch within their role and make sure that they're not overreaching.
	Which is precisely why Biden wants to use executive orders.
	He wants to do an end around and he wants to try to avoid the legislative process because the legislative process is ultimately the way the American people can push back against restrictions.
	constitutional restrictions like this.

	Same thing.
	What about Big Tech?
	Your predecessor, Josh Hawley, was going after Big Tech.
	He's continuing to do that in the Senate of the United States.
	I hope you've continued the investigation into Google.
	Absolutely.
	So we're actually one of the states that were part of the William Barr Justice Department's antitrust suit.
	There were a handful of us that joined that antitrust suit against Google.
	We've led the investigation into Facebook.
	We've also filed a lawsuit against Facebook for their...
	I think this is an emerging...
	Well, it's not emerging.
	It's here.
	It's right in front of us.
	I mean, you saw last night Google slash YouTube TV cancels, deletes this roundtable Governor DeSantis was having on how lockdowns don't work.
	Woodrow Wilson was more concerned with his legacy than what was right for America.
	He believed the founding fathers were misled.
	He was the first president in American history to actually philosophically and politically challenge the beliefs of the founding fathers.
	Woodrow Wilson and Joe Biden are very similar.
	They care about a radical restructuring and redefinition of America.
	And I'm going to say something controversial that I have not said publicly.
	You ready for this?
	Joe Biden is governing much more radically than Barack Obama.
	Let me say that again.
	Joe Biden is governing much more radically.
	Is that the right way to say it?
	Much more radically?
	I guess that's correct.
	It just doesn't sound right.
	He's governing more radically than Barack Obama.
	One of the main reasons is because the people behind him are growing impatient.
	And they're starting to smell.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager with you.
	and I can't get the two girls who are not being punished for murdering.
	The Pakistani Uber Eats driver in Washington, D.C. And it led me to speak about a very important biblical concept that almost nobody is aware of.
	And that's the reason I've been working for so many years on explaining the Bible because it has the explanations for these matters and the recommendations.
	If a human being is killed, even by accident, it is a big deal.
	This is not the natural way in which people think.
	People think, oh, it was an accident and that's it.
	I'll give you an example.
	If an ox, it's a biblical law, an ox kills a human being, you put the ox to death.
	Now why would that be?
	It's not the ox's fault.
	It doesn't have free will.
	But there has to be some answer.
	To the terrible thing of taking the human life.
	If a human who was killed is found on a road outside a village, it's a biblical law too, Deuteronomy.
	My Deuteronomy is coming out in September.
	You can pre-order it on Amazon.
	There's a whole ceremony that is used.
	The village gets together because they allowed, even inadvertently, even unknowingly, a man to be killed outside of their village.
	And there's a whole ceremony, which makes no sense to you unless you understand the principle behind it.
	That's why this notion in Washington by the chief of police, oh well, you can't bring the dead back.
	Of course you can't bring the dead back.
	Nobody ever argued that you could.
	It's a stupid point.
	Just a stupid point.
	But you cannot allow a homicide to go unanswered.
	If it's purely accidental, a person goes to a city of refuge.
	Another biblical law.
	Purely accidental.
	An axe handle falls while a guy is working.
	And that's the example given in the Bible.
	Axe handle.
	But you don't put him to death.
	Nobody's allowed to use a vengeance killing.
	But he does go to a city of refuge.
	So I apply that to modern life.
	We cannot allow the killing of somebody to go unanswered.
	And by the way, I apply this biblical principle to the officer in Minnesota.
	I do believe she meant to taser the man, and Dante Wright.
	That is his very name.
	I didn't remember Dante.
	I believe it was an accident.
	They're saying Deontay?
	Okay.
	Deontay.
	It's D-A-U-N-T-E. I don't think she meant to kill him.
	First of all, when officers do shoot, they never shoot just once.
	I've never heard of that.
	They shoot multiple times.
	They might shoot once, but all of my reading is that there are many shots.
	Remember, oh, 11 shots.
	The fact that those who hate the police often note the number of shots that were used to kill a person.
	And that she would immediately scream, oh, yes, I shot him.
	Unless she's one of the great actresses of our time, this was a spontaneous reaction.
	Nevertheless, I have to apply the principle.
	There cannot be no consequence to the killing of a human being.
	In Washington, D.C., the two girls are going unpunished.
	I don't know what should be done with this particular officer.
	They are not doing anything to these girls, which is unbelievable.
	And that was deliberate.
	They didn't deliberately kill him, but they deliberately carjacked, tasered, and dragged him along while he held on.
	So it was a wanton disregard for utterly innocent life.
	They did kill him.
	In the case of...
	It is Dante, not Deontay.
	You should go to the punishment room for that.
	And this man in Minnesota was killed.
	Did not deserve to be killed.
	But he was killed.
	So, life cannot go on after a homicide.
	Something has to happen.
	Now, Obviously, I don't believe this woman deserves to be incarcerated, but she needs to be punished.
	You can't say, well, it just happened.
	She didn't mean it.
	And I get all of this as I get all of my principles from the first five books in particular.
	Not only the first five books, but in particular.
	Homicide is very, very serious.
	The human life is infinitely precious.
	Taken by accident, taken deliberately, there has to be a consequence to the taking of a human life.
	It's an interesting and important point.
	And that's why I have no...
	Well, I do.
	I don't find it easy, but I have no compunction about truly begging you for the sake of your life and civilization as we know it to read my rational Bible.
	The third volume is coming out in October.
	This is not an ad for the book.
	I've raised a point that you can find explained at length in the books.
	That's the point.
	I have no ability to conceive of a solution to this country's existential problems without a return to that book.
	And it's not because I believe in God.
	If I were an atheist, I would say this to you.
	There are atheists who say it, who understand the hole in this country is a moral hole, a spiritual hole, filled.
	With leftism.
	That reporters could scream at a police chief not to use the word riot shows you that at the core of modern journalism is lying.
	I'll be back.
	I'll be back.
	That was perfect.
	The Hara Chukamu.

	The Hara Chukamu.
	AOC in mid-season form.
	Remember when she said there's no surge at the border because children are not insurgents?
	They want to say, what about the surge?
	Well, first of all, just gut check, stop.
	Anyone who's using the term surge around you.
	Gut check, stop.
	Consciously is trying to invoke a militaristic frame.
	A militaristic frame.
	Is trying to invoke a militaristic frame.
	She can sling it, can't she?
	And that's a problem.
	Because this is not a surge.
	It is not a surge.
	It is more of a...
	These are children.
	Oh, so therefore it's not a surge.
	And they are not insurgents.
	Ah, okay.
	And remember when she had difficulty trying to figure out what a garbage disposal was?
	I am told this is a garbage disposal.
	I am told, I don't know who told me, I can't reveal the identity, but a whistleblower told me that this is a garbage disposal.
	I've never seen a garbage disposal.
	I've never smelled a garbage disposal.
	I've never had one in any place I've ever lived.
	I've never fondled one.

	What about the idea that Chuck Schumer has a ruling from the parliamentarian that says he can amend the reconciliation instructions and thereby get another bite at the apple, indeed an infinite bite at the apple with 51 votes.
	In the first place, that's what Chuck Schumer says.
	So let's see if that's what the parliamentarian really is saying.
	And let's get the details of it, okay?
	And also, you know, and I have to go back and research this.
	I mean, I think there have been years when they passed more than one reconciliation bill, but that doesn't mean you can put anything on reconciliation.
	You know, you can put tax changes on reconciliation, and the process by which you do it, by the way, is pretty difficult.
	And I don't, you know, let's have a vote on these tax changes.
	I mean, Biden's already back and away from the corporate stuff.
	Yes, he is.
	Yes, it is.
	And so, well, let's see if they can get 50 votes for these.
	I mean, I have a feeling they can.
	Tax increases aren't very popular.
	I mean, what we've seen so far is they've spent an enormous amount of money, and now they want enormous tax increases.
	And that's really what they did in 2009, too.
	And Jamie Dimon said yesterday there's going to be a boom.
	And there has to be a boom when you spend this much money.
	Money's got to go somewhere.
	It's going to go into stocks and real estate.
	When does that boom end, in your experience, Jim?
	Is it a year or two years?
	I'm not sure there's going to be a boom.
	When you funnel it through the networks and the apparatuses they're funneling it through, I don't know how economically productive that is.
	Oh, interesting.
	It passed a $900 billion stimulus in 2009, predicted 4% growth, and what do we get?

	I want to go to a very important subject with Julie Kelly.
	And one moment at American Greatness.
	But I have a call because the truth is the number one concern of this program.
	I want to take this call.
	Steve in Minneapolis.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	It's great to finally talk to you.
	I'm really sorry that this is the occasion.
	Terrible turmoil in our city the past couple days.
	The people you heard in the press conference yesterday, some of them were reporters.
	Some of them were not reporters.
	And I think the people you were hearing were community leaders and activists who were allowed to show up to the press conference.
	And they did a lot of interrupting of our police chief up in Brooklyn Park.
	And so those, I don't believe, were reporters.
	Those were.
	Well, that's the reason I took your call.
	I will look into that.
	I thank you for calling.
	I think that's very important.
	A correction of what I and everybody else thought, if that is accurate.
	And I will try to find out to the best of my ability.
	I'm glad you called.
	And now Julie Kelly, whose work I admire greatly at American Greatness, has a piece.
	That I never thought I would read as an American.
	Truly, I never thought.
	When people speak of political prisoners, people framed by the government and put into solitary confinement, who did essentially nothing wrong, did something wrong, but minimally, I think of an authoritarian, corrupt country.
	Julie Kelly has a piece in American Greatness about an Arkansas man whom some of you may have seen in photographs.
	And the man is Richard Barnett.
	Okay, Julie, thanks for coming on.
	Tell us who Richard Barnett is.
	Dennis, thanks for having me on and bringing attention to this investigation.
	Richard Barnett is the 60-year-old man from Arkansas who was famously photographed sitting in Nancy Pelosi's office at a desk.
	It was not her desk.
	And just coincidentally, there were several photographers there at that moment, encouraged him to act natural in the office.
	So he kind of showboated for photographers, left Speaker Pelosi sort of a nasty note on that desk.
	That has started a complete nightmare for him and his family.
	Before he even arrived home to Arkansas from Washington, D.C., his family was receiving death threats because, of course, the media had posted the photo.
	He turned himself in to law enforcement, allowed them to raid his home, interrogate both him and his wife without lawyers present.
	He was taken into custody January 8th, transported to Washington, D.C., where he has remained behind bars now for more than three months.
	On what are the charges?
	Well, initially he faced just a few charges, a trespassing charge, disorderly conduct, but of course a D.C. grand jury added other charges to hit his case.
	Including possession of a dangerous and deadly weapon.
	This was a walking stick that also is a stun gun.
	It turns out later he didn't even have a battery in it, but he used a walking stick because he knew that there would be thousands of people.
	I guess there were hundreds of thousands of people in B.C. that day.
	So he used it.
	Prosecutors called that a deadly and dangerous weapon.
	They've, of course, thrown the book at this man.
	They've interrogated his wife.
	They've suggested that he should not be released because in the interview with the FBI, they viewed him as too controlling of his common-law wife, and they've determined that he should not be released back home because his wife basically was controlled by him and would not keep tabs on him and make sure that he abided by any home detention rules by the court.
	A man can be held in solitary confinement in a prison because he's too controlling of his wife?
	Apparently so.
	So, you husbands out there, beware, because this is what our Justice Department and judges, federal judges, are signing off on.
	It's just outrageous, and of course, Dennis, you know this.
	You've had me on before.
	This is just one of dozens, if not more than a few hundred cases, of how the Justice Department It's weaponizing the rule of law.
	It doesn't even exist.
	Yes.
	All right.
	Hold on.
	That's what I want to continue with.

	Calling new Biden legislation an infrastructure plan is like calling a shark a dolphin.
	They both may have dorsal fins, but you mistake one for the other at your peril.
	Don't be fooled.
	Only 5% of the bill's spending would actually go for roads and bridges, what normal people think of as infrastructure.
	Add in items like Amtrak and broadband, and you're still only at 30% of the eye-popping total of $2.3 trillion.
	And you're supposed to pay for all of this with the biggest tax increase since 1968. Here's what's worse.
	The bill is actually about leftist social engineering.
	It would end right to work, something the left hates because it guarantees no one can be forced to join a union or pay union dues in order to hold a job.
	Ending it offers a rich new source of campaign contributions for Democrats.
	Calling a shark a dolphin doesn't make it one.
	I'm Carol Platt, leave out.

	Read Discrimination and Disparities by Thomas Sowell.
	Just because there is a disparity does not mean that discrimination is to blame.
	The fatherless epidemic in the black community is a serious public health threat.
	You want to know what's keeping black people down?
	It's not racism.
	It's government programs, failing public schools, Democrat policies and the lack of fathers in the home.

	Great website.
	Julie Kelly is a kindred spirit.
	We haven't met, but I can tell you that.
	Because she gets angry.
	At the right things.
	I got a theory that among the many ways to understand people and even judge them is to find out what they get angry over.
	For example, I am morally inferior to you because I have great anger at slow drivers in the left lane and you probably do not.
	We are definitely kindred spirits then because if I feel like that should be a felony punishable for like 50 years in jail.
	You're blowing my mind.
	It is one of my pet peeves in life.
	Well, we really are.
	I'm telling you, we're like from the same mother, but don't know it.
	Wow, what a compliment.
	Well, that's very sweet of you.
	Actually, it's so bad that...
	I will be driving with my wife, and there's this particularly slow driver in the left-hand lane, and I will probably say, now do you understand why capital punishment is necessary?
	You only wanted 50 years in prison.
	Well, I was being charitable, but I think we should introduce a bill.
	I would co-sponsor.
	I'll co-sponsor.
	That is great.
	Well, I'm glad I raised the issue.
	Alright, you're angry and I am seriously, both of us seriously angry and worried about this country that these people could still be in prison.
	You think of the rioters who aren't and the two girls who killed the Pakistani driver and they're free.
	And that's Washington.
	That's right, Dennis.
	And it's important to know that the same office that is trying to work out some kind of deal for those two teenage girls, preteen girls, teenagers, and let them off the hook, basically, is the same office undertaking this nationwide manhunt, rounding up people who had the nerve to go into what used to be called the People's House.
	Now it's called Pelosi's House.
	This is the same office, same people.
	The double standard is just mind-blowing.
	It is mind-blowing.
	I mean, then you added in the piece that I'm against solitary confinement as a general rule because it's a form of torture.
	And I'm talking about serial murderers.
	This guy sat at Nancy Pelosi's assistant's desk.
	Right.
	He committed no violent crime.
	He didn't assault a police officer.
	He didn't vandalize anything.
	He took one piece of mail.
	He talked to reporters about it.
	He worked with law enforcement afterwards.
	So did his wife.
	And here he's been suffering now three months, basically, in solitary confinement, in addition to dozens of defendants who've been transported to one of the worst correctional facilities in the country, Washington, D.C., with reports of abuse, guards beating them up, you know, making fun guards beating them up, you know, making fun of them, making racial slurs, et cetera.
	And these are people with no criminal record.
	Richard Barnett is 60 years old.
	He's never committed a crime before.
	Yet, Biden's Justice Department and federal judges now are treating these people as hardened criminals.
	Meanwhile, you know, you see what others are getting away with around the country.
	And no bail.
	you No bail.
	Absolutely correct.
	They've been denied bail repeatedly.
	Wait, on what grounds?
	They'll flee to Iceland?
	I mean, they can't even get out of the country.
	On what grounds?
	Well, here's what I find most commonly.
	Prosecutors and judges believing or arguing that because these defendants doubt the legitimacy of the 2020 election, they don't think that Joe Biden is the real president.
	Therefore, they will not follow the laws of the U.S. government.
	I have found this repeatedly in charging documents and comments from the bench about these people.
	They won't follow laws because they don't think that Joe Biden was legitimately elected.
	It's a thought crime.
	I'm solid because I'm sort of mourning the decline of my country.
	Is there anybody taking up their cause?
	No.
	It's infuriating, Dennis, and I've written about this too.
	You know, I'm writing this for what you said.
	I'm angry because I'm trying to give voice to these people who are voiceless.
	A lot of them cannot even find lawyers to represent them.
	Not one Republican official has spoken out for these people who are basically their supporters.
	Donald Trump finally said something a few weeks ago in an interview.
	He made a brief mention of it.
	But there's been no condemnation of DOJ, no setting up any kind of legal defense funds for these people.
	They are completely on their own.
	Where is Tom Cotton speaking out for his constituent who's being treated like a political prisoner?
	Where are the congressmen and women from Arkansas speaking up in defense of him?
	No one has said a word.
	How do you explain that?
	Cowards.
	I guess that's it.
	They don't want to speak up for the deplorables.
	So the cowardice emanates from, obviously all cowardice does, from some fear.
	And the fear is what?
	The media will depict them as insurrectionists?
	That's exactly right.
	They're afraid they'll get the Josh Hawley treatment and how he was vilified.
	You know, after January 6th.
	So I guess if Tom Cotton speaks up for a constituent who's being treated like he's a Cuban, you know, in the Castro regime, that somehow will subject him to any tweets.
	I don't know.
	And I've begged for months.
	I've written articles about this.
	Where's our GOP leadership?
	You know, Dennis, they're all worried about this political prisoner in Russia.
	Who cares?
	We literally have hundreds of people being treated.
	Held hostage by their own government because they showed up at a rally in their own capital, their own capital building, on January 6th to express their outrage about a completely rigged election.
	And they're worried about what's happening in Myanmar or Russia?
	Hello, look down the street.
	Now you've got me really riled up.
	All right, all I can say is...
	I will keep having you on.
	You keep writing.
	It's irrelevant, folks, if you agree with these people.
	We shouldn't have political prisoners in America.
	Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	Woodrow Wilson was more concerned with his legacy than what was right for America.
	He believed the founding fathers were misled.
	He was the first president in American history to actually philosophically and politically challenge the beliefs of the founding fathers.
	Woodrow Wilson and Joe Biden are very similar.
	They care about a radical restructuring and redefinition of America.
	And I'm going to say something controversial that I have not said publicly.
	You ready for this?
	Joe Biden is governing much more radically than Barack Obama.
	Let me say that again.
	Joe Biden is governing much more radically.
	Is that the right way to say it?
	Much more radically?
	I guess that's correct.
	It just doesn't sound right.
	He's governing more radically than Barack Obama.
	One of the main reasons is because the people behind him are growing impatient.
	And they're starting to smell and taste victory.
	Cut 86. MSNBC analyst says it himself.

	A paradigm kind of shift, maybe.
	I know we've been talking about this for several weeks here.
	You know, the Roosevelt era to the Reagan era.
	Are we on the verge of a new activist, progressive era, led in an unlikely way by Joe Biden?
	I think that's not impossible.
	Not impossible.

	Holding in my baby brown libertarian fingers an article from the Daily Mail.
	This is a headline.
	Outgoing CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin rails against network about lack of women in leadership.
	Saying, quote, the most influential and highest paid anchors are men.
	Close quote.
	Just months after she was temporarily taken off the air and replaced by Jake Tapper.
	And it goes on and talks about how she's expected to leave this month.
	And she gave an interview with Ms. Magazine.
	I had no idea Ms. Magazine was still being published.
	Is it still being published?
	Wow.
	I should start subscribing.
	I had no idea.
	Ms. Magazine, she said, quote, the most influential anchors on our network, the highest paid, are men.
	My bosses, my executives, are men.
	The person who oversees CNN, Dayside, is a man.
	And my executive producer for 10 years is a man.
	So I've been surrounded by a lot of men.
	My friends, Dennis Prager here.
	And we've put Julie Kelly's piece up.
	I have the time to formally thank you for your work.
	Julie, thank you for your work.
	Thank you so much for bringing attention to it and helping find a voice for these people who desperately need it.
	So thank you.
	Yes, ma'am.
	Hundreds?
	I mean, if there's one, it's a scandal.
	It's very easy to lose a civilization, my friends.
	Centuries to build a civilization.
	The human species is profoundly flawed.
	And that is why America has been somewhat of a miracle.
	Slavery was not exceptional.
	Freedom was exceptional.
	Every society on earth had slaves.
	No society on earth was as free as the United States.
	The left everywhere, from Lenin to your local university today, has never, ever, ever not suppressed freedom.
	It has no interest.
	From the French Revolution to Lenin to today, it has no interest in freedom.
	It has interest in control.
	That is why, by the way, while you can mock it all you like, it is a statement if you do not wear a mask outdoors.
	It is a statement that you're rational.
	It is a statement that you follow science and not the media.
	And it is a statement that you will not be controlled.
	By irrational forces.
	Not wearing a mask outdoors is one of the most powerful messages you could send today on behalf of everything good.
	It is a gigantic idiocy to wear a mask outdoors.
	And every day the whole regimen unravels.
	I read to you this week Or last week that the CDC has announced you in fact do not get COVID from surfaces.
	The entire regimen of scouring surfaces with anti-germ sprays was useless.
	Totally useless.

	Only 5% of the bill's spending would actually go for roads and bridges, what normal people think of as infrastructure.
	Add in items like Amtrak and broadband, and you're still only at 30% of the eye-popping total of $2.3 trillion.
	And you're supposed to pay for all of this with the biggest tax increase since 1968. Here's what's worse.
	The bill is actually about leftist social engineering.
	It would end right to work, something the left hates because it guarantees no one can be forced to join a union or pay union dues in order to hold a job.
	Ending it offers a rich new source of campaign contributions for Democrats.

	Is this so often the case for a British tabloid newspaper to report the story of Hunter Biden for anybody to take notice?
	This is the end.
	Because our media just aren't interested.
	Our media want to protect the Bidens.
	They want to protect liberals.
	Most of the media.
	And they're not on as brokers.
	We knew the contents of this laptop in September and October.
	This should have been out and out everywhere.
	Everywhere.
	But what do we have instead?
	Instead, we had the New York Post being blocked from Twitter.

	I will ask for your reaction to the president's promise that nothing he recommended impinges on the Second Amendment.
	It is a very I guess unique interpretation of what the Second Amendment is then.
	You know, if we're looking at the infringement upon the Second Amendment and the government trying to pass any kind of restrictions on that, I certainly think there's an argument to be said that if he's passing the idea that you can no longer build a firearm in your home, which has always been legal in America, even before the founding of our nation, you could build a firearm in your home.
	If he's now saying you can't do that, well, I would argue that we're looking at an infringement upon Second Amendment rights.
	If he's talking about reclassification, Classifying an entire class of pistols under the National Firearms Act, which would make it—so you couldn't possess these firearms unless you submit your photo, you submit your fingerprints, you pay a $200 tax stamp and undergo extensive background checks through the ATF, and then put on a government watch list simply for exercising your Second Amendment rights.
	I think that that's called an infringement upon your rights, and I think that's something that the American public needs to reach out to their members of Congress and remind them that they are the check.
	On the executive branch.
	The legislative branch then is one of the checks to keep the executive branch within their role and make sure that they're not overreaching.
	Which is precisely why Biden wants to use executive orders.
	He wants to do an end around and he wants to try to avoid the legislative process because the legislative process is ultimately the way the American people can push back against restrictions.

	So the NCAA has now threatened Texas over transgender legislation.
	They're threatening not to have games in states that pass a law that you have to be a biological female to compete against biological females.
	See, the left is not merely wrong on every issue.
	They're not just wrong.
	They're completely comfortable with forcing those with whom they differ to be squashed.
	And so they're creating two different Americas.
	The America that believes it is not fair has nothing to do with whether you like or dislike or you're anti or pro-transgender human beings.
	The irony is, if a person does it effectively, that is the transition.
	You don't even know you're talking to a transgender, so the issue should be moot.
	The issue arises when you have non-transgender cross-dressing.
	Cisgender, as they say, males, who wear female clothing.
	That I am opposed to.
	I'm opposed to bearded people with dresses.
	But I'm opposed to mastectomies on 16-year-old girls who save their boys.
	And some despicable doctor takes their breasts off when they have absolutely no capacity to determine whether they will want their breasts back at 30, 40, 50, even 25. Is there another example of the removal of a healthy organ?
	I'm not talking about foreskin of a penis.
	It's not an organ.
	Is there any example of the removal of a healthy part, important part, defining part of a human being?
	Especially at that age?
	Anyway, NCAA has come out with these statements.
	We won't have games in your states.
	It is very painful, but there may be a necessity of simply withdrawing.
	Maybe Texas should say, fine, our and 25 other states, we will no longer belong to the NCAA, and we will play our sports with a free states association.
	That's it.
	Okay.
	That's what you want?
	We're withdrawing.
	Half the states of this country will not be part of NCAA sports.
	I don't see why that can't be done.
	I don't see why it shouldn't be done.
	Does anybody have a reason not to do that?
	The country is divided irreparably.
	Doesn't mean it cannot once again unite.
	I hope it does.
	They'll either unite as the Soviet states of America or as the free states of America.
	And I'd rather disunite and have free states than unite and have Soviet states.
	But, like all bullies, if they're fought back, they collapse.
	So you fight back.
	The issue is not anti-transgender, it's pro-female.
	The silence of feminist groups is completely understandable because they don't give a damn about women any more than the black groups care about blacks.
	They care about leftism.
	Black groups cared about blacks.
	They would be preoccupied with the problem of no fathers for 80% of black children.
	They'd be preoccupied.
	With having school choice.
	They'd be preoccupied with all the deaths of blacks in black communities because of other blacks.
	But they don't give a damn about blacks.
	Feminists don't give a damn about women.
	I learned this when I was in college.
	I studied the left.
	Communists didn't give a damn about workers.
	They used workers to gain power.
	Then they crushed them when they came into power.
	Women are used by feminists.
	Blacks are used by the Democrats.
	And that is the way it is.
	And when you're used and don't see it, it's real sad, but it's a fact.
	It's time to separate from these people.
	Take a long time, but what a wonderful project.

	We secede.
	Teams had guts.
	They would have seceded from Major League Baseball when they took the All-Star game from Atlanta.
	We will no longer be part of Major League Baseball.
	We will play without...
	All those who want freedom...
	Join us in Atlanta, and we will have an all-star game in Atlanta.
	That's what they should have said.
	Ball players who wish to come that day, the stadium will be open to you.

	I've said my whole life, there's a civil war in this country and only one side is fighting.
	Well, we've been fighting more, but they fight more.
	They have more control, obviously.
	It's easier for them to fight.
	All this based on total lie about the suppression of the vote, it's a complete lie that all of these corporations have signed on to.

	It's time for the states that are threatened to withdraw from the NCAA. I don't know how that's done.
	I don't know what the rules are.
	I don't know what the legal issues are.
	But I do know what the bottom line is.
	All right, William in Clemson, South Carolina.
	Carolina, hello. - Hi. - Hi. - I am grateful for your program because you touched on a lot of topics that need to be talked about.
	But the baseball team is doing nothing, the baseball league is doing nothing no different than what is America, and that is boycotting when you don't like political or other reasons.
	I mean, this country was founded on boycotting, and those owners have every right to.
	What gets me is when Jerry Jones said that I'll...
	Football players had to stand on the Dallas Cowboys team for the Athens.
	There was a lot of people on your show that was for that.
	Some of these same people now are saying that it's wrong for the baseball team to say, we're going to pull out.
	We've always, we've done that to other countries.
	We pulled out of a...
	I don't see why everybody is so upset.
	I think they're upset because of the reasons.
	So I'm not quite clear what...
	What is it you're objecting to or supporting?
	I am supporting the baseball team having a choice to boycott.
	I'm supporting that 100% because me as a black man, we have been boycotted and exercised in a lot of businesses, simply because of the color of our skin.
	That's his story.
	And it's a shame that that has to keep being debated.
	In 2021...
	We've been out of slavery ever since, what, 1865?
	But we're still debating as a country, the most powerful country in the world, we're still debating and fighting for equal rights.
	And one of the saddest things that I hear is, oh, we had a black president.
	So what?
	All black people didn't vote him in.
	Americans, black, white, Chinese, Asian, they voted him in.
	Okay, but getting a black president didn't solve discrimination.
	Dr. King didn't kill, didn't solve discrimination.
	You see, so I'm just...
	Wait, so you do feel that blacks are still discriminated against?
	Yes, sir.
	Just like...
	Okay, all right, all right.
	Forgive me, I would like to hear more, but we've got to take a break.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	One of the few calls I didn't understand at all.
	Did you understand the point you wanted to make?
	You see, the people that perpetually want more power for themselves, they crisis hop.
	They hop from one crisis to the other.
	The environmental crisis.
	The Chinese coronavirus crisis.
	A crisis allows you to justify a power grab.
	There's nothing quite like a crisis that makes you feel more self-important and act like a totalitarian.
	A crisis generally means that the public will give up their freedoms and liberties.
	There's something even deeper going on here, though.
	As the CDC director says racism is a serious public health threat, they are now blending Two of their most effective strategies.
	The fact that Americans will not question the science when it comes from anything from the CDC, despite the fact the CDC has lied to you about basically everything over the last year.
	The CDC has been wrong about almost everything contributing to a serious mental health crisis, a suicide epidemic, alcoholism, drug usage, self-worth issues with young people.
	40% of small business is being closed and the lockdowns did nothing.
	Let me say that again.
	The lockdowns did nothing to actually improve the well-being of our country.
	But the CDC now knows that Americans would rather be safe than free and that safetyism is the predominant viewpoint in America.
	And they also know that Americans will not challenge this idea that America is systemically racist.
	Just won't.

	He's made a very big deal about ghost guns.
	Homemade guns, as you said, that cannot be traced.
	I didn't realize there was a rash of ghost guns used in these high-profile mass killings that Biden referenced.
	Are they?
	Are these massacres in Charleston and in Colorado and all these terrible scenes, are those all with people who made their guns at home?
	No, Mike, you're right.
	These aren't people who have produced their own firearms in their own homes.
	We're talking about, in many of these instances, the failures of people to either enact on the laws that are available to them or the authorities who failed to take action when they were supposed to.
	So if we look at the most recent Murders in Boulder, Colorado, we see that Colorado already has red flag laws.
	We see that the family was already concerned about the mental disturbance of the individual who's accused of these crimes, to the point where they actually took the firearm away from him at one point, and he obviously got that back and committed his heinous crimes.
	But they could have reached out and they could have used the red flag laws available to them there, and they didn't.
	We look at the Pulse nightclub shootings.
	In fact, the FBI knew about that and they didn't act.
	In fact, that was a terror attack and was not just an industry.
	Indiscriminate killing at a nightclub.
	If we look at Marjory Stone of Douglas High School, we know that the FBI was warned twice.
	We know that the city, state, and county officials have been warned over 40 times that there were concerns with this individual, and they never acted upon those.
	So what we're talking about is a...
	This is not an issue of so-called ghost guns.
	And part of the issue is that these are being conflated a lot of times with firearms that show up at a crime scene with the serial numbers obliterated.

	There's a new important book out, Grow Up, Life Isn't Safe, But It's Good, written by someone I have great admiration for, Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
	Grow Up, Life Isn't Safe, But It's Good.
	Everett, you're in my favorite state, Oklahoma.
	How are you?
	Thank you for having me on, Dennis.
	Yes, we do enjoy living out here in God's country.
	You'll have to come and visit.
	I agree with you on that.
	I'm not kidding, though, when I say that, because after all, I can't say my favorite state to five different states.
	I lose credibility.
	Oklahoma just strikes me as the continuing repository of what I call American and Judeo-Christian values.
	Am I romanticizing your state?
	We are far from perfect, as I'm sure you would admit, for any place.
	In Oklahoma, we still have, by and large, we have a respect for common sense, sense that's common.
	We have a respect for time-tested truths.
	We don't exercise all this chronological snobbery of the Snowflake Rebellion and the cancel culture where you come up with a new idea five seconds ago and you chuck 2,000 years, 4,000 years of Judeo-Christian history.
	That's exactly what I assumed.
	But I'm sure it's a battle.
	Any place that has a university, it already has a nihilistic germ in it.
	And you obviously have University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and so on.
	Well, the nature of the academy is arrogance.
	And this is my industry.
	I've been involved in higher education my entire career.
	So, obviously, I'm not against education.
	Education can change anybody's life for the good, but it has to be good education grounded in good ideas.
	And as you know, I've been very critical of the cancel culture and the snowflake rebellion.
	In 2017, I wrote my book, Not a Daycare, where I challenged my industry for producing a bunch of juveniles who are calling for safe spaces.
	And they're talking about microaggressions and trigger warnings and basically canceling people like you from being speakers on their campuses.
	Simply because they don't like your conservative ideas.
	This is the antithesis of the ivory tower.
	It's ideological fascism.
	It's not academic freedom.
	And the solution is what I'm addressing in my new book, Grow Up.
	The very title of your book renders it cancelable.
	Grow up.
	I mean, life isn't safe.
	That's the whole point, isn't it?
	Isn't safety the greatest value of all?
	Well, you've spoken on this, and rightly so.
	And the answer to your question should be a resounding no.
	Life isn't supposed to be safe.
	Life is supposed to be good.
	There's a difference between those two things.
	C.S. Lewis says of the great lion Aslan in his children's series, The Chronicles of Narnia, he tells us that Aslan is not safe, but he's good.
	C.S. Lewis is not supposed to be safe.
	He's supposed to be good.
	And if I apply the Piper paraphrase over that particular description, the great lion of the ivory tower is not supposed to be safe.
	It's supposed to be good.
	The great lion of the Constitution is not supposed to be safe.
	It's supposed to be good.
	The great lion of freedom is not supposed to be safe.
	It's supposed to be good.
	The great lion of the church is not supposed to be safe, but it's good.
	There's a difference between goodness and safety, and we should desire the The first thing of goodness.
	And recognize that safety is only a second thing that gets thrown into boot.
	But you've got to have first things first.
	You've got to get your priorities straight, which is one of the lessons in grow up.
	Life isn't safe, but it's good.
	Stop the cancel culture.
	Stop the childish whining.
	Stop the pouting.
	And recognize that the old axioms of days gone by, like no pain, no gain, are axioms that have borne the test of time because they're true.
	Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
	3,000 years old.
	So I have a question.
	I'm very curious.
	Again, I'm speaking to Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
	His new book is Grow Up.
	Life isn't safe, but it's good.
	So I'd like you to think about this because I'm going to take a...
	Commercial break while you think about it.
	But what grade would you give Christian pastors during this, what I call, civil war?
	How many are saying what you're saying?
	How much fight for a good, as opposed to safety, has there been in the churches in this past year?
	I got the answer from Everett Piper.
	His book is up at DennisPrager.com.

	Calling new Biden legislation an infrastructure plan is like calling a shark a dolphin.
	They both may have dorsal fins, but you mistake one for the other at your peril.
	Don't be fooled.
	Only 5% of the bill's spending would actually go for roads and bridges, what normal people think of as infrastructure.
	Add in items like Amtrak and broadband, and you're still only at 30% of the eye-popping total of $2.3 trillion.
	And you're supposed to pay for all of this with the biggest tax increase since 1968. Here's what's worse.
	The bill is actually about leftist social engineering.
	It would end right to work, something the left hates because it guarantees no one can be forced to join a union or pay union dues in order to hold a job.
	Ending it offers a rich new source of campaign contributions for Democrats.

	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Everett Piper is my guest.
	He's written an important book.
	The title alone is important.
	Grow up.
	Life isn't safe, but it's good.
	So, are you currently president of Oklahoma Wesleyan, or are you stepped down?
	What's your story?
	After 17 years of serving as president, I retired two years ago, and now I'm writing and speaking.
	Enjoying life.
	I no longer have to pretend to herd cats, otherwise known as faculty.
	Well, that's a good way of putting it.
	So, you spoke out, and indeed your books speak out, Grow Up, Life Isn't Safe, Goodness is More Important Than Safety.
	I mean, you're talking to the converted here on that one.
	So, I have a tough question, and you may not have an answer.
	As a general statement, do you think that Christian pastors from the pulpits have been saying this?
	I'll answer your question very forthrightly, as you can probably imagine I'm prone to do.
	And I think I have the right to.
	I think I have the responsibility to.
	We should be able and willing to call out our own.
	And the evangelical church...
	Is my own.
	The Academy, the ivory tower, is my own.
	I have the right to say, I have the right to give a grade, as you suggested.
	So the grade I would give to the church, to the evangelical church, is a C at best, maybe a D. And in many cases, a failing grade.
	And here's my reason for saying that, Dennis.
	The affirming church is a joke.
	The Church isn't supposed to affirm my sin.
	The Church isn't supposed to have a conversation about my sin.
	The Church is supposed to confront my sin.
	I am so tired of hearing Christian pastors saying, well, Jesus said, judge not lest he be judged.
	Yeah, he said that, but read the rest of the paragraph.
	When he finishes that commentary, he says, by their fruit you shall know them.
	So Jesus clearly isn't telling us to affirm.
	and to not acknowledge them for doing so.
	He's telling us that if they have bad fruit, that's how you know them.
	When he says, judge not lest he be judged, he's saying, if you're going to judge, be prepared for people to use the same judgment standard against you that you used on them.
	Be prepared for God to use the same standard.
	So to answer your question, the church is not doing a good job.
	It has imbibed the Kool-Aid.
	It has embraced critical race theory, intersectionality.
	It has embraced critical theory and critical legal theory.
	And it has also embraced the narcissism and self-absorption of woke affirmation and tolerance.
	I give it a failing grade.
	So I need to tell you that, as you of course know, I'm a religious Jew and I'm very pro-evangelical.
	And I have said to evangelical audiences...
	pastors alone even, I said, if you fail, there's no hope for the country.
	Because the only large organized group that still maintains the values that the country was founded on is evangelical Christians.
	Obviously there are atheists and there are Jews and Buddhists and Muslims who agree as well, but they don't have a large community.
	You do.
	So, if you're right, then the crisis is actually more severe than people may have realized.
	Well, first of all, you and I have spent time together, been on your show before, and I want to make my comments clear in context.
	I'm very grateful for the position that you just stated, and you have held that position for decades.
	For common cause, even though we may share theological debate and differences on key issues, the co-belligerence that that statement you just made is gold.
	Second, I do believe there's a solution.
	I don't believe all is lost.
	I do believe, in the words of Christ, that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
	I believe in the power of the objective standard of truth.
	I believe in the power of rhetorical questions.
	I believe in the power of debate and logic.
	I believe in the power of teaching natural law rather than narcissism and teaching self-evident truths that are endowed to us by our Creator rather than this self-absorption.
	I believe that if we teach goodness, we could have good culture, good kids, good community.
	But that's not what the academy, that's not what the church, that's not what our culture has been teaching.
	They've been teaching narcissism and self-absorption, and we shouldn't be surprised if we find a bunch of narcissists.
	And self-absorbed people now in our corporate boardrooms.
	What started in Berkeley and Brown didn't stay there.
	They graduated.
	And they now work as fact-checkers who are canceling you, Prager University, canceling me and canceling Shapiro and everybody else that has a view that they don't like.
	That's not freedom.
	That's ideological fascism.
	So I want to go back to the church and I want to remind everybody about your book.
	Grow up.
	Life isn't safe, but it's good.
	You should read it aloud to your kids.
	By the way, I so resonate to it, I just want to tell you that I've often mentioned in speeches, I don't know about the radio, that it's funny to think, when I was a kid, kids wanted to be grown-ups.
	That was a term we used.
	You want to be a grown-up.
	And that term died because it did imply growing up as opposed to affirming that you're still a child.
	So that alone is a key message, grow up.
	You resonate to that?
	Absolutely.
	In the Proverbs, Solomon tells us, as iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another.
	That implies friction, tension, dissonance.
	It implies no pain, no gain.
	It implies that there is tension in life, that there's friction in life, that you've got to see the sparks fly, and that it's only through that process that you become a mature human being that actually can make a contribution to society and culture and a human being that enjoys freedom rather than safety.
	Safe people are enslaved people.
	They're held in bondage to someone who's going to take care of them.
	Adults don't want to be taken care of.
	They want to take care of themselves.
	Grow up.
	Life isn't safe.
	It's good.
	Oh, do we agree?
	Get the book.

	he's made a very good man I have great admiration for our shared values are so deep It's remarkable.
	Former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, one of the major thinkers in the country.
	I was going to say one of the major Christian thinkers, but then people think, oh, well, if I'm not Christian, why would I read it?
	So I changed it in my brain to thinkers.
	But he comes from a Christian...
	We both come from a biblical perspective.
	I mean, it's just...
	There is no other perspective that works.
	This book is Grow Up, Life Isn't Safe, but it's good.
	So I have a final question.
	And it gnaws me, and I say as a Jew, I am very...
	I am disappointed in the community that is similar to yours, the Orthodox Jewish community.
	That very few rabbis have spoken out.
	I mean, that kids are taught at colleges their kids go to, that men give birth, and there isn't some sort of revulsion at this gigantic lie and distortion of the order that people who believe in the Bible are supposed to believe in.
	So I ask myself, is it because they're afraid of being attacked?
	But if that's the case, then where are religious Jews and Christians at with regard to the fundamental notion of fear of God?
	Is that like a meaningless term now?
	Again, back to my criticism of the affirming church.
	I'm not going to issue trigger warnings before altar calls.
	If I'm preaching and there's an altar call, I'm not going to warn you.
	Oh, this may trigger you.
	You might be offended.
	I want you to be offended.
	I want you to feel a sense of guilt.
	The point is your confession, not your comfort.
	But those are fighting words even within the church today.
	Jesus was aggressive.
	The prophets of the Old Testament.
	We're aggressive.
	They called a spade a spade.
	They had spine.
	They had courage.
	They ran into the storm.
	They didn't run away from the storm.
	They waved the banner of truth with a capital T. Objectivity.
	Truth with a capital T. And if they won waving that banner, great.
	That was God's grace.
	But if they lost waving that banner, they were willing to lose.
	They would go down fighting.
	Churchill fought.
	Fought on the beaches.
	Fought in the air.
	Fought in the streets.
	He fought.
	And we speak English today rather than German because of that.
	This courage, this spine, this clarity, this character is needed.
	Otherwise, we're going to be a nation of juveniles.
	If a nation at all.

	You know, on the first day of office, Joe Biden issues this executive order that deals with the Keystone Xstone pipeline.
	We're involved in that lawsuit to challenge that.
	He also created a working group, as he called it, with unelected cabinet members to decide what is the quote-unquote social cost of greenhouse gases.
	And so it's more like Nostradamus than it is Newton, right?
	They're predicting warfare and migration patterns and all these things hundreds of years in the future, pulling all that back.
	And then giving a blank check to the EPA and transportation, all these agencies to overtax and overregulate every aspect of our lives, making things more expensive like cars and microwaves.
	We're on the front lines fighting that.

	You see, the people that perpetually want more power for themselves, they crisis hop.
	They hop from one crisis to the other.
	The environmental crisis.
	The Chinese coronavirus crisis.
	A crisis allows you to justify a power grab.
	There's nothing quite like a crisis that makes you feel more self-important and act like a totalitarian.
	Generally means that the public will give up their freedoms and liberties.
	There's something even deeper going on here, though.
	As the CDC director says racism is a serious public health threat, they are now blending two of their most effective strategies.
	The fact that Americans will not question the science when it comes from anything from the CDC, despite the fact the CDC has lied to you about basically everything over the last year.
	The CDC has been wrong about almost everything.
	Contributing to a serious mental health crisis, a suicide epidemic, alcoholism, drug usage, self-worth issues with young people, 40% of small businesses being closed, and the lockdowns did nothing.
	Let me say that again.
	The lockdowns did nothing to actually improve the well-being of our country.
	But the CDC now knows that Americans would rather be safe than free.
	That safetyism is the predominant viewpoint in America.
	And they also know that Americans will not challenge this idea that America is systemically racist.
	Just won't.
	Homemade guns, as you said, that cannot be traced.
	I didn't realize there was a rash of ghost guns used in these high profile mass killings that Biden referenced.
	Are they?
	Are these?
	Are they?
	Hi, everybody.
	It is the ultimate issues.
	Our the third hour every Every Tuesday, some great issue of life.
	Because if you're not clear on the great issues, then you're not going to be clear on the daily issues.
	It's just the way it works.
	So today's is about as big an issue, as big a macro issue as possible.
	And it is the subject of the current PragerU video, this week's PragerU video, which I give.
	I give only about 10%, 90% of the videos of PragerU are given by others.
	But when I give one, I consider it obviously something, I have something important to say, and B, it is an important subject.
	And the subject of the video is, is communism moral?
	Let me tell you something.
	That I could title, or we could title a video, Is Communism Moral?
	Gives you an idea of the lack of moral clarity with so many Americans.
	The answer should be, out of your mind, the question is stupid.
	Is communism moral?
	Is Nazism moral?
	So, how does one explain even that That the question is legitimate.
	That there are people who use, young people in particular, use the term communism as if it is not as pure evil as we have had in human history.
	So I'm going to make the case, but I do make the case every word is carefully chosen because every video is only five minutes.
	So I'd like you to hear, I might interrupt it, I might not, I don't know.
	But you're allowed to interrupt yourself.
	Is communism moral?
	Take it away, Dennis Prager.
	Take it away.
	Take it away.
	Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away.

	Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away.
	Take it away.
	Take it away. Take it away.
	Take it away.
	especially 100 million workers.
	Second, the best way to prevent an evil from concurring is the front end of all its own.
	The fact that many people today, especially young people, mention communism as a viable option for modern society.
	They don't know communism, but therefore, they do not properly bear communism, which means this evil to undoubtedly get them.
	And why could it happen again?
	That brings us to the reason.
	Leaders of the communist society is a vast number of people, of those leaders, of the culture and slain, and of course, who are nearly all born in the world.
	So some were sunk in the past.
	But most were not.
	It means that any society in the living free world can devolve into communism with some analogous evil.
	It means that it's based on the authoritative black book of communism written by six French scholars and one of the United States.
	Mine are written in person.
	Here are the numbers of people murdered by communist regimes.
	Not soldiers, ordinary civilians.
	Vietnam, one million.
	Vietnam, one million.
	Eastern Europe, one million.
	Ethiopia, one point five million.
	North Korea, two million.
	Cambodia, two million.
	Cambodia, two million.
	Soviet Union, 20 million.
	China, 65 million.
	And the numbers are concerned.
	And of course, these numbers do not describe the suffering endured by hundreds of millions of people who were not murdered.
	Systematic scripting people of their rights.
	They worship freely to start a business or even to travel without party permission.
	No, not conscious judiciary or media.
	The poverty of nearly all communist countries.
	They imprisoned the vast numbers.
	And of course, the trauma suffered by the hundreds of millions of friends and fellows who were murdered in the prison system.
	These numbers don't tell you about the frozen millions of vast Soviet-Siberian prison camp system, known as the Kulak Archipelago, where the Vietnamese communists were deep practice of various peasants alive to terrorize other visits into supporting the communists. where the Vietnamese communists were deep practice of various peasants From how they come to regular use of any tortures to punish opponents and intimidate peasants, people associate evil with the dark.
	That's not accurate.
	It's easy to look into the dark.
	It's very hard to stare into the right one.
	One should therefore associate evil with extreme brightness, given that people rarely look at real evil.
	And those who do not confront real evil often make up evils, like systemic racism in 21st century America, or toxic masculinity, or patriarchy, that are much easier to confront.
	The book of Psalms states, those of you who love God must take evil.
	If you don't believe in God, there's another way of putting it.
	Those of you who love people must hate you.
	If you don't hate communism, if you don't care about it, watch what's love.
	Hate.
	I'm desperate.
	All right, everybody.
	That's the video up this week at PragerU.
	Please show it to your college-aged kid, nephew, grandchild, child, or anybody who has flirted with the idea that capitalism is evil and communism is not.
	I mean, it's pretty irrefutable what was there.
	So the question that I'd like to discuss with you is not only the facts of communist evil, but why are people flirting with it today?
	That's what I would be very interested to hear from you with regard to if you have, for example, a family member who thinks communism might be good.
	How would they react to what you just heard, what I just said in that video?
	Well, ignorance is a big part of it.
	And that, of course, is deliberate.
	But you can have a restaurant in L.A. named Che Guevara.
	It is a perfect example.
	There are no restaurants named after a Nazi.
	It's almost actually difficult to explain.
	week.
	This is recent.
	We're not talking about something in the Middle Ages.
	We're talking about something that happened in a lifetime of a good chunk of this population.
	This staggering slaughter of humanity done by communist regimes.
	The utter and total suppression.
	of human dignity that was entailed and yet people flirt with it?
	Why do you think that is?
	What would your child say if they watched this video?

	He's made a very big deal about ghost guns.
	Homemade guns, as you said, that cannot be traced.
	I didn't realize there was a rash of ghost guns used in these high-profile mass killings that Biden referenced.
	Are these massacres in Charleston and in Colorado and all these terrible scenes, are those all with people who made their guns at home?
	No, Mike, you're right.
	These aren't people who have produced their own firearms in their own homes.
	We're talking about, in many of these instances, the failures of people to either enact on the laws that are available to them or the authorities who failed to take action when they were supposed to.
	So if we look at the most recent murders in Boulder, Colorado, we see that Colorado already has red flag laws.
	We see that the family was already concerned about the mental disturbance of the individual who was accused of these crimes.
	To the point where they actually took the firearm away from him at one point and he obviously got that back and committed his heinous crimes.
	But they could have reached out and they could have used the red flag laws available to them there, and they didn't.
	We look at the Pulse nightclub shootings.
	In fact, the FBI knew about that and they didn't act.
	In fact, that was a terror attack and was not just an indiscriminate killing at a nightclub.
	If we look at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, we know that the FBI was warned twice.
	We know that the city, state, and county officials had been warned over 40 times that there was concerns with this individual and they never acted upon those.
	So what we're talking about is a This is not an issue of so-called ghost guns.
	And part of the issue is that these are being conflated a lot of times with firearms that show up at a crime scene with the serial numbers obliterated.

	This week's video is Communism Moral.
	In my own life, there was a great clarifying moment when I was a young man.
	I mean really young.
	I mean in my late teens.
	And I was a dyed-in-the-wool-born liberal Democrat.
	But I had immediate conflict, inner conflict, because I've always hated evil.
	I mean, real evil.
	Torture, murder, incarceration, deprivation of liberty, which characterized, in my lifetime, one ideology, communism.
	Nazism was dead before I was born.
	But communism continued.
	So one of the reasons I believe that people today are flirting with it is, one, they don't know how evil it was.
	They know nothing.
	I don't know if the average junior at Harvard can identify the Gulag Archipelago, which is astonishing.
	Just astonishing.
	But there is another reason.
	I don't think a lot of young people value liberty.
	So when you tell them that communism deprived people of all freedom, it doesn't scare them.
	They're okay with not having freedom.
	Because communism stands for equality.
	And they will trade in.
	As the communists do, as leftists do, as the Democratic Party, which is now left, not liberal, does, they will trade in freedom for equity, as they now put it, any time, any day of the week.
	It's a diabolical trade, but they're willing to make it.
	So it doesn't sound that scary.
	Oh, you have no freedom.
	Because they don't understand what it means.
	What does it mean you have no freedom?
	No free speech?
	They're not for free speech.
	45% of young Americans are not for free speech if they say it's hate speech.
	But the whole point of free speech is it allows hate speech.
	That's the whole point.
	It doesn't only allow love speech.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Let's go to Glenn in Upland, California.
	Hello.
	Yes, sir?
	Yes.
	Okay, I hear you now.
	Go ahead.
	So what I was telling the call screener was what I'd seen in my own family.
	My grandma and grandpa were the patriarchs.
	My grandfather was a World War II veteran.
	God rest his soul.
	He was the greatest man I ever knew.
	And he came back from World War II. He was in Germany.
	A changed man.
	The only time I ever saw my grandfather cry as a grown man was when he would discuss what he saw.
	And I have family, aunts and uncles now, and I was telling the call screener, is taking a 180-degree turn.
	And I think that my grandma and grandfather would be crying today.
	If they saw this, my grandma and grandfather, after they came back from World War II, I'm Latino.
	I'm Mexican.
	I don't know, Mexican-American.
	And they saw family members in Mexico that they would bring over here.
	I don't know what you would call it.
	Not necessarily adopt, but there was a word for it where you would sponsor somebody.
	And it was two rules that my grandma and grandpa had.
	One, you learn English.
	You went to night school, the Kulakaka Community College, and learned English, and you got a job.
	And they believed in work ethics.
	They believed in Americanism.
	They believed in the things that you and I espouse, the values.
	And what I've seen in my own family, my aunts and my uncles in particular, and then their children, is that they've been indoctrinated by this poison in the schools.
	And the values that my grandma and grandpa taught us, and the ones in my family that still espouse it, Are in the minority.
	And it's the education system in this country that has metastasized over the last 50 or 60 years, and it is produced, and this is me, I've never heard this from anybody, but kids are leaving high school good Democrats, college good socialists, and postgraduate school devout communists.
	And that's where we are right now.
	It's the education system, and predominantly the ones in my family that are like this are the educated.
	That's correct.
	That's correct.
	I gotta let you go.
	I thank you.
	You're a man after my own soul, my friend.
	That is all correct.
	His grandparents would not believe what their grandchildren are taught and now believe.
	I mean, it's almost...
	I don't want to overstate these things, but it's hard to overstate the state we're in.
	If the World War II generation could be resuscitated, resurrected, I think a lot of them would say, it appears that I died in vain.
	The ones who fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, They fought for freedom.
	And then to have American young people have contempt for what they fought and died for?
	That's exactly right.
	All right.
	Let's see.
	Michael in Columbus, Ohio.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Yep.
	This is actually my first time calling in on a radio show ever, but...
	I was just going to say that I'm relatively young, so I recognize I don't have nearly a life experience as a lot of callers that I've heard, but I feel like it's kind of a two-edged sword, where communism on one hand has sparked some very, very horrendous, horrendous things.
	The care of Mao Zedong, or I'm sure I'm butchering that name, I'm sorry.
	No, that was funny.
	On the other hand of things, I think different angles of capitalism have also been very traumatic to a lot of different people.
	And I want to kind of...
	I didn't fully understand what you meant when you said people were giving up equity for freedom.
	Could you explain that a little more to me?
	Yes.
	This is the trade-off, and stay on with me because I've got to take a break, but I'm very happy you called.
	And I think everybody needs to hear what you have to say.
	And so do I. Well, I'll just give an example.
	If the government says that you have to, affirmative action is a perfect example of equity for freedom.
	I'll explain that when we come back.
	This is Carol Platt-Lebow for townhall.com.
	Calling new Biden legislation an infrastructure plan is like calling a shark a dolphin.
	They both may have dorsal fins, but you mistake one for the other at your peril.
	Don't be fooled.
	Only 5% of the bill's spending would actually go for roads and bridges, what normal people think of as infrastructure.
	Add in items like Amtrak and broadband, and you're still only at 30% of the eye-popping total of $2.3 trillion.
	And you're supposed to pay for all of this with the biggest tax increase since 1968. Here's what's worse.
	The bill is actually about leftist social engineering.
	It would end right to work, something the left hates because it guarantees no one can be forced to join a union or pay union dues in order to hold a job.
	Ending it offers a rich new source of campaign contributions for Democrats.
	Calling a shark a dolphin doesn't make it one.

	on Communism Today How bad was it?
	The PragerU video this week is about communism, and I happen to be the one giving it.
	18-year-old Michael in Columbus is a thoughtful young man, from what I can tell, and acknowledges the horrors of communism, but...
	He argues that there have been some awful things in capitalism and then asked me to explain when I said that people will trade in freedom for equality or equity.
	And I gave you the example of affirmative action.
	I'll give you a very specific one.
	There are governments and there are states that tell companies that they have to have half of their board members female.
	So you are not free to choose your board members in the name of equity.
	Is that an understandable example?
	Every line got cut off.
	Wow.
	Anybody have any idea what happened?
	That's too bad.
	Some glitch, my friend.
	Every single line just disappeared.
	So call in again if you were on or try to come in as fast as you can.
	Sean, any idea what happened?
	Okay.
	Well, anyway, I would have a question for Michael if he does...
	I don't even know if the lines are working.
	Which would be a shame if they don't, because Ultimate Issues Hour is when I want to dialogue with you often.
	Anyway, it is what it is.
	But, first of all, what is the capitalist equivalent to what communism has done to people?
	When he said, well, but capitalism has done bad things too.
	And I always wonder, what exactly has it done?
	Other than lifted a billion or two billion people out of poverty.
	Now, no system is perfect because every system is comprised of humans.
	Humans are profoundly imperfect.
	But anyway, that was a good example of the trading in freedom.
	We're trading in free speech.
	Not for equity, but I don't even know for what.
	For non-offense?
	There's literally one line here.
	We'll take that.
	And that is Blake in San Antonio.
	If you're there.
	Blake, are you there?
	Yes, I am.
	Yeah, you're the one survivor of the glitch of every line.
	I held on.
	You did.
	Dennis, let me give you an observation that I had when I was 18 years old.
	I graduated from high school, went on a government program to study different governments in Europe and the Soviet Union.
	And we spent three days in Leningrad and three days in Moscow.
	And the memory I still have is walking down the streets, both Leningrad and Moscow.
	Nobody looked at you.
	Nobody smiled.
	Everybody just looked down at the ground.
	You could tell people were miserable.
	We were followed by the Red Guard everywhere we went.
	And they could tell we were Americans or foreigners because we wore blue jeans.
	They didn't have blue jeans in the Soviet Union.
	Into a department store.
	And your choices and colors of clothes were green or gray.
	And that was it.
	And these are the memories I still have.
	But mainly, it's the memory of nobody would look you in the eye.
	Everybody you could tell was miserable.
	And that's what I remember from 1973. Well, I was in communist countries a great deal.
	And you're 100% right.
	There was a deathly silence, especially in the Soviet Union, the most totalitarian outside of China and North Korea.
	And people did not look you in the eye.
	It has affected me just as it has affected you.
	I went a little before you did.
	Whenever I see Americans talking to strangers, I think, wow, I never saw that in the Soviet Union or in communist countries.
	People didn't banter because any group of people was considered suspicious in any event by the communist authorities.
	And he's right.
	They would know you're a foreigner by your clothing.
	He has it right.
	His memories are entirely accurate.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to tell you about Nerve Renew.
	And this is a product that I actually asked the makers to advertise on my show because it had such a great impact on me.
	I gave this thing a try.
	Eight months later, I threw away the inserts in my shoes that I had been wearing for 10 years.
	Give Nerve Renew a try.
	They have a one-year money-back guarantee.
	I've never heard of such an offer, but they do.
	And a two-week free try.

	So every line is dead.
	Is that correct?
	No.
	Well, all right.
	Every line but one is dead.
	Thank you.
	I will ask for your reaction.
	To the President's promise that nothing he recommended impinges on the Second Amendment.
	I guess, unique interpretation of what the Second Amendment is then.
	You know, if we're looking at the infringement upon the Second Amendment and the government trying to pass any kind of restrictions on that, I certainly think there's an argument to be said that if he's passing the idea that you can no longer build a firearm in your home, which has always been legal in America, even before the founding of our nation, you could build a firearm in your home.
	If he's now saying you can't do that, well, I would argue that we're looking at an infringement upon Second Amendment rights.
	If he's talking about reclassification, Classifying an entire class of pistols under the National Firearms Act, which would make it—so you couldn't possess these firearms unless you submit your photo, you submit your fingerprints, you pay a $200 tax stamp and undergo extensive background checks through the ATF, and then put on a government watch list simply for exercising your Second Amendment rights.
	I think that that's called an infringement upon your rights, and I think that's something that the American public needs to reach out to their members of Congress and remind them that they are the check.
	On the executive branch.
	The legislative branch is one of the checks to keep the executive branch within their role and make sure that they're not overreaching.
	Which is precisely why Biden wants to use executive orders.
	He wants to do an end around and he wants to try to avoid the legislative process because the legislative process is ultimately the way the American people can push back against restrictions.

	For a normal human being, love of a child is natural.
	But there is one to hate evil, because believe it or not, it's not natural to hate evil.
	In fact, my separation from the left as I was speaking to you about when it occurred to me, In my teenage years, I still thought of myself as a liberal, because liberals were anti-communist.
	Leftists were not.
	Came over the issue of communism.
	If you were unable to declare communism evil, then the most important issue of life, the distinction between good and evil, was unclear to you.
	But, astoundingly, when I was at Columbia University for graduate school in international affairs, studying the Soviet Union, the Cold War was regularly, the Cold War was regularly, routinely depicted as two scorpions in a bottle.
	That's right.
	That's how I learned what the Cold War was.
	Not freedom versus totalitarianism.
	No.
	Two scorpions in a bottle, just struggling it out for supremacy on Earth.
	There was no moral connotation to it.
	They thought they were good, we thought we were good, therefore there was no way to make an assessment.
	That's the way I was taught too.
	There are so many problems with it.
	Because when I say to a person, even to me, Stalin killed at least 20 million people, maybe 40 million.
	Thank you.
	And we're not talking, again, as I noted in the video that I played for you, we're not talking about soldiers, we're talking about civilians.
	Non-combatants.
	But it doesn't mean anything 20 million.
	And by the way, I acknowledge it to myself.
	I said, and maybe 40 million.
	So is there a way for the brain to process the difference between 20 million and 40 million human beings?
	No.
	One of the reasons the diary of Anne Frank has such power is that it's about one person.
	So you get to know the tragedy and the evil of her being killed by the Nazis.
	This teenage girl in Holland, in the Netherlands.
	But then I tell you, 60 million now?
	60 million?
	They attribute a line to Stalin.
	What does it do?
	One death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic.
	We don't have a record of him saying it, but whoever said it, unfortunately, there was a lot of truth to that.
	That's a big problem in describing evil.
	Evil.
	I mean, think about the attention paid in this society to the death of George Floyd, which may have been an evil and may have been a tragedy and may have been somewhere in between tragedy and evil.
	And think about that.
	Whether you're for it or against all the attention paid.
	And think of how no attention is paid.
	None of you can name a Chinese or a Russian killed by Mao or Stalin, respectively.
	They should make a movie about one family.
	You should read Red Terror, or Red Famine.
	Excuse me, not Red Terror, Red Famine.
	A book by, as it happens, a never-Trumper, Ann Applebaum.
	But it's a great book.
	I read it last year about the Ukrainian famine.
	Five to six million in the horror perpetrated by Stalin against Ukrainians, where he literally, intentionally starved that number to death.
	When you read the book, you realize what the word starve to death means.
	Starve to death is a form of torture.
	You know, we say it a lot, so many people starve to death.
	It certainly doesn't sound like, you know, went to a concentration camp, but it's horrific.
	And what happens to those around you?
	Your children watching a parent starve to death.
	Parents watching a child starve to death.
	The amount of deliberate suffering induced by communists is not something that the normal human mind can fully wrap itself around.
	So, we talk about patriarchy.
	And heteronormativity and other evils.
	Because when you don't fight real evils, you make make-believe up.
	This is Carol Platt-Lebow for townhall.com.
	Calling new Biden legislation an infrastructure plan is like calling a shark a dolphin.
	They both may have dorsal fins, but you mistake one for the other at your peril.
	Don't be fooled.
	Only 5% of the bill's spending would actually go for roads and bridges, what normal people think of as infrastructure.
	Add in items like Amtrak and broadband, and you're still only at 30% of the eye-popping total of $2.3 trillion.
	And you're supposed to pay for all of this with the biggest tax increase since 1968. Here's what's worse.
	The bill is actually about leftist social engineering.
	It would end right to work, something the left hates because it guarantees no one can be forced to join a union or pay union dues in order to hold a job.
	Ending it offers a rich new source of campaign contributions for Democrats.
	Calling a shark a dolphin doesn't make it one.
	I'm Carol Platt-Lebow.
	We now have a radical, unproven philosophy, critical race theory, that is running our entire government.
	The CDC director says racism is a serious public health threat.
	Quote, a growing body of research shows that centuries of racism in this country has had a profound and negative impact on communities of color.
	That's not true.
	It's not true.
	Read Discrimination and Disparities by Thomas Sowell.
	Just because there is a disparity does not mean that discrimination is to blame.
	The fatherless epidemic in the black community is a serious public health threat.
	You want to know what's keeping black people down?
	It's not racism.
	It's government programs, failing public schools, Democrat policies, and the lack of fathers in the home.

	Headline, and I'm quoting, Two CBS TV executives are fired after one called a black TV anchor just a jive guy and the other called a female employee an effing idiot.
	Peter Dunn, president of CBS television stations, and David Friend, senior VP for news.
	The stations were ousted on Wednesday.
	I'm laughing because polls show that 83% of Democrats believe that Donald Trump is a racist.

	Alright everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	Final segment.
	Of the Ultimate Issues Hour about communism.
	Juana, the only line we have open, line one.
	San Antonio, Texas, hello.
	Hello, Mr. Prager.
	Just wanted to share an experience that my friend had when she went to Cuba.
	And I didn't know too much about communism at that time, but she said she was in a restaurant.
	Eating a steak.
	And there were people looking through the window.
	And I said, what were they looking?
	They wanted my food.
	So for me, I was shocked that I didn't know, but there is a lot of poverty in communism.
	You know, and whether people wanted to see it or not, it's a choice, but it is true.
	It is true.
	It can get pretty bad here too.
	Yep, that's right.
	It doesn't work in any way.
	All it does is put a few people into power and they get their own restaurants, they get their own hotels, they get their own freedom to travel, they get their own medical care, and they are the top communists.
	That's right.
	That's true in every single case.
	It's a very important question to pose to your kids.
	Show them this video.
	PragerU.com It's free.
	It's a very important one because you have to get them started on the road toward hating evil.
	Not hating statues.
	That's a column I wrote when the statues demonstrations took place.
	The left, what is it?
	The left fights statues, the right fights evil.
	Well, you say, well, the statues commemorated evil.
	Yeah.
	But they're still statues, and they're not.
	The statues aren't commemorating evil.
	The statues commemorate people who are on an evil side.
	Anyway, it's a complex question.
	I don't like a lot of those statues.
	But if that's what you're fighting, then you're not fighting real evils at this time, or much more recent than that.
	And that's the great question in life, and that's why it's my favorite verse in the Bible.
	Those of you who love God must hate evil.
	If you don't hate evil, you don't love God.
	If you don't hate evil, you don't love humanity.
	Tell that to your kids.
	All right, y'all.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
