	Thank you.
	And welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Thank you.
	My sort of, I guess, would it be bi-monthly?
	Every other month.
	Is that bi-monthly or is bi-monthly twice a month?
	I think it's twice a month.
	My every other month salute to Hans Zimmer for the use of his theme from the movie Gladiator as the theme of the show.
	It was developed.
	It was incorporated in 2001, after 9-11.
	The country was, as it were, battling.
	The battles today are much greater than then.
	It is always easier to battle an external foe than an internal foe.
	It's not easy.
	But it's easier when the people have a generally united vision of their values and they are fighting those who wish to extinguish those values from outside.
	Your country is, while suffering, in good shape.
	Half of this country craps on the values of this country and of the West.
	Actually, not half.
	Half vote for those who do.
	The great tragedy, as I so often tell you, is not the left's destruction of everything that is good.
	It is the liberals voting for the left's destruction.
	Brett Stephens in the New York Times is a liberal, or if you will, a conservative, or a conservative never-Trumper.
	I have no problem with any of those descriptions.
	I know him somewhat well.
	We've appeared on stage together.
	We have debated at the New York Times.
	He devoted an article to me.
	I devoted an article to him.
	He's done PragerU videos.
	Race and the coming liberal crack-up.
	I'd like to offer you an interesting little anecdote about Brett Stevens, who's a New York Times columnist, the only one who dissents, theoretically, David Brooks and Ross Douthat.
	Would play that role, but they tend not to.
	Not a personal attack on them, just a description.
	But Brett Stephens is a fighter.
	So, somebody, I wish somebody would explain this to me.
	When I looked last night, it was published yesterday online.
	Right?
	What is today's date?
	So, yes, it was published.
	Is it either published yesterday or the day before yesterday?
	It's hard to know because the publication date in print is the day after the publication date on the Internet.
	And I looked to see, I was so curious because, as you know, I read comments.
	How would New York Times readers respond to Brett Stephen's attack on the woke left?
	In the New York Times, the mother of wokeness and lying and deception and hatred of American values.
	How would the New York Times readers respond?
	They love their times, and he basically shredded everything the New York Times stands for without once mentioning the New York Times.
	So I see, I go to click on comments.
	And I see something like 2,156 comments.
	And then I see Comments section is closed.
	Can you explain that?
	I've never seen the comments section closed on an article in the New York Times.
	If they had a comment section, not every article does, but if they had one, they don't close it.
	I mean, you could close it to further comments, but it's invisible.
	Get it?
	You can't see.
	I'm going to look now.
	Maybe it's been restored.
	It's called Race and the Coming Liberal Crack-Up, dated April 26th.
	Brett Stephens, New York Times.
	And I'm scrolling down.
	Read 2,393 comments.
	Ah, they're back up.
	Well, too bad they weren't up last night.
	Maybe he protested.
	Maybe it was a glitch.
	Who knows?
	This is very interesting.
	So here's the first comment.
	I've never voted Republican from John in Virginia.
	I have never voted Republican since the first election in which I was legally allowed to vote.
	It wasn't even a close call, but this exact issue, as Stevens frames it, is where I strongly part ways with the Democratic Party of today.
	Anti-racism is by definition racist.
	It makes broad assumptions about white people.
	Well, my God, white is now capitalized.
	Just for the record, not being a sheep, I do not capitalize black, and I do not capitalize white.
	All they are are colors.
	That's all they are.
	They're not an ethnicity.
	They're not a culture.
	What does it mean?
	Is there black culture?
	Is there white culture?
	You know, I mentioned in my recent piece that this whole notion two weeks ago, I mentioned this whole notion is somewhat absurd.
	What does white culture mean?
	Hitler was white.
	Stalin was white.
	So we have the Nazi and the communist.
	They're both white.
	In fact, Stalin is so white, he's from the Caucasus where you get the name Caucasian.
	He's from Georgia.
	Not Georgia as in Atlanta.
	Georgia as in...
	Gruzia, in the Caucasus, in the Caucasian mountains.
	He's the quintessent Caucasian.
	Is that a white value?
	I don't understand.
	Is Candace Owens, does she have black values?
	Does Jesse Jackson have black values?
	Black culture?
	What are we talking about?
	Why are they capitalized?
	Anyway...
	I want you to hear this comment, which I'm reading spontaneously.
	Anti-racism.
	This is a commenter who has never voted Republican in his life in the New York Times.
	The first commenter, the first listed, Anti-racism is by definition racist.
	It makes broad assumptions about white people and people of color.
	It's frankly offensive, and it's frighteningly driving a lot of progressive ideas from zoning laws to government aid to freedom of speech itself.
	On that last point, it's clear many are afraid to speak truth out of fear of being called a racist.
	It's become a powerful tool of the woke to silence their critics.
	Don't agree with our ideology.
	You're a racist.
	Wow.
	Fear of the woke mob.
	Now, here's the interesting thing.
	1,120 people recommend this.
	Now, I want to see what the reader picks is.
	That was the Times picks.
	The big one, 1,633 picks.
	It's against the New York Times.
	Well, very interesting.
	So here's my theory, right, as of this moment in American life.
	Some liberals, more today than a year ago, or six months ago, are beginning to understand that the left is destroying everything good about America.
	Unlike Brett Stephens, I think the vast majority of liberals will continue to vote Democrat.
	The sheep-like behavior of the liberal can never be overstated.
	It is not possible to.
	Most people, of any political persuasion, don't have courage.
	That's the rarest of the human traits.
	But I'm not even talking courage.
	How you vote is secret.
	You don't have to tell anybody.
	You can lie to your friends and your wife.
	But they still won't do it.
	Because a lifetime of indoctrination has convinced them that the right is where the danger lies.
	And that's all you read in the New York Times.
	And these are all New York Times readers.
	They still believe that.
	And then one day you awaken, like Dave Rubin, quite left, gay left.
	And he realizes, whoa, conservatives have good ideas and are good people.
	This is Carol Platt-Lebow for townhall.com.
	President Biden has formally established a commission to consider adding seats to the Supreme Court.
	Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, both appointed by a Democratic president, have opposed it.
	But the left is angry.
	They don't like the Supreme Court's rulings, so they want to change its composition.
	It's called court packing, from when, in 1937, Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt tried and failed to do it.
	President Biden must have forgotten he once called the idea of expanding the Supreme Court a terrible, terrible mistake and boneheaded.
	And make no mistake, it is a terrible idea.
	Any politically driven effort to change the court's structure will only reinforce the perception that our judicial branch is guided by politics rather than by legal principle.
	Over time, a packed court would surely erode confidence in the rule of law, which is indispensable to governing a free people.
	I'm Carol Platt, Lieb out.
	I guess we're taking a break from knife fights and China in some way.
	But it's not a good break.
	What is going on with the Biden tax plan?
	I gotta tell you, this is about the most moronic thing.
	I have seen in my entire career.
	I have never seen such an aggressive...
	I mean, I think you've got to go back to, you know, the days of the Revolutionary War and the British tyranny over our 13 colonies to find anything as ludicrous and onerous as this tax plan, Seb.
	My stomach turned when I saw it.
	You know, we knew...
	He was a socialist.
	We knew he would try things like this.
	But, you know, there's still a part of you.
	It's like, OK, well, you know, he's got to really want the best thing for America.
	Right.
	And this is not the best thing for America.
	This is disastrous.
	So break it down for us.
	What is this?
	What is it proposing and what will it actually result in?
	Okay, so basically he's looking at anywhere from 39% in change to 43% on capital gains taxes.
	So this means any money that you invest, if you have a business, for example, you're a small business owner, or suppose you invest in the stock market because you're saving up for your retirement, instead of it getting taxed at the current 20% level, it's going to be taxed at double that.
	The administration would say, oh, don't worry.
	It's only going to affect people that have more than a million dollars.
	Well, look, there's a lot of small business owners that have been toiling away for 30 years that are getting ready to sell their business.
	Their business is going to be valued at more than a million dollars, so that's going to be a problem.

	Trending now on The Mike Deleger Show.
	You guys call it literally a war on small business.
	Lay it out for us about what small business owners are up against and what Job Creators Network is doing about it.
	Yeah, well, you just laid it out just great there, Mike.
	I mean, when you think about the last year with the pandemic, if you are Amazon or Uber Eats or DoorDash, you've done fantastic.
	But if you're a mom-and-pop restaurant, if you're a dry cleaner or pizza parlor, hairdresser, you've been really hurt.
	And if you're still around, you've been really hurt.
	Or maybe you're gone and you're thinking, how do I start over?
	And as we come out of this pandemic and we're starting to see states open, some of them much slower than others, we're starting to see people get back to work and businesses start to reopen.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Brett Stephens, who is an anomaly at the New York Times, wrote a piece, Race and the Coming Liberal Crack-Up.
	And it's an attack on the anti-racism cult of the left, in whose name every good value is being destroyed in this country.
	And he even, you know, he mentions, for example, this, I was not aware of these tweets.
	You know the case of Makia Bryant, the white police officer in Columbus who may have well saved the life of a black girl who is being attacked by this other black girl, Makia Bryant.
	Ben Crump, the Floyd family's lawyer, accused the Columbus police in a tweet of killing, quote, An unarmed 15-year-old black girl.
	Did you know that, folks?
	I did not know that.
	He was the George Floyd family lawyer.
	He's the lawyer Al Sharpton, if you will.
	Always shows up.
	He's a civil rights ambulance chaser.
	I'm actually at a loss for words that he could have said...
	If it weren't Bret Stephens in the New York Times, I would find it hard to believe.
	Not that the New York Times is easy to believe, but it's that it's in the New York Times, which doesn't lie in this direction, but lies in the other direction.
	Anyway, imagine that.
	An unarmed 15-year-old black girl?
	Is it unarmed now for a black with a knife?
	Is that now unarmed?
	Why not, by the way?
	Why not?
	We've changed all other words.
	Why not that?
	Why does unarmed mean unarmed?
	Why does illegal immigrant mean illegal immigrant?
	Why does global warming not also mean very cold weather?
	Why don't men menstruate?
	So why not have an armed black as an unarmed black?
	He also cites Valerie Jarrett, the former Obama advisor, tweeted that Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight.
	She wants to, quote, demand accountability and, quote, fight for justice.
	This is the hate-filled individual who is the brain trust of the Obama administration.
	Yeah, why would you want to break up a knife fight?
	I think global warming will probably be some extreme weather of all kinds.
	An alternative view...
	This is Brett Stevens writing.
	Maybe there wasn't a time for Officer Reardon in an 11-second interaction to, quote, de-escalate, unquote, the situation, as he is now being faulted for failing to do.
	And maybe the balance of our sympathies should lie not with the would-be perpetrator of a violent assault, but with the cop who saved, he puts that in italics, a black life.
	Namely that of Tiana Bonner, who nearly had Bryant's knife thrust into her.
	That's a thought that many, perhaps most Americans, share, even if they are increasingly reluctant to say it out loud.
	Why reluctant?
	Because in this era of with-us-or-against-us politics, to have misgivings about the left's new anti-racist narrative is to run the risk of being denounced as a racist.
	Well, you see, that's courage.
	Brett Stevens has courage.
	To write this in the New York Times is an act of courage.
	I want to repeat that.
	To have misgivings about the left, I mean, just to even cite the left as the despicable force it is, is unique to the New York Times' panoply of about 50 columnists.
	The left's new anti-racist narrative is to run the risk of being denounced as a racist.
	Much better to nod along at your office's diversity, equity, and inclusion sessions than suggest that enforced political indoctrination should not become a staple of American workplace culture.
	Do you want to cheer, or do you want to cheer?
	Yeah, much better to nod along, right?
	Oh, we got a diversity and equity inclusion session.
	I'm not going to speak up at this person who would have fit in perfectly with Mao's cultural revolution.
	And yet those doubts and misgivings go to the heart of what used to be thought of as liberalism.
	This is basically exactly what I have been saying.
	Liberalism is hated by the left.
	And most liberals are either too naive or too cowardly to note it.
	Here's an example.
	Let me go back and forth between comments.
	So here's one of the most popular comments of the comments on his article.
	Mr. Stephens, White America has enjoyed affirmative action since the Mayflower.
	Your, quote, millions of working class whites who have endured generations of poverty, unquote, have, like wrote, returned Republicans to the state legislatures and Capitol Hill who have done nothing but exploit their racial animus.
	See?
	That's what this writer, and it's the second most popular recommended.
	This is their vision of the Republicans.
	They have done nothing but exploit their racial animus.
	Give me an example.
	Call me if you have an example.
	Republicans have done nothing but exploit their racial animus.
	There you go.
	So that's how people continue to vote Democrat as they watch the Democrats destroy the country.
	Right.
	Oh, and his great last line, this writer here.
	The writer's New York Times name is Red Sox 04071318. He lives in the dumbest state of the country, Massachusetts.
	They never vote their pocketbooks.
	They vote their hate.
	That's what poor whites do.
	You get it?
	Or even non-rich whites.
	They don't vote their pocketbook.
	So voting Democrat is good for their pocketbook.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	You stood up to the radicals in Wisconsin rather famously.
	What do you think accounts for the inability of so many in the GOP to stand up at the moment when we need them to stand up?
	It's amazing to me that doing what you said you're going to do is considered courageous.
	To me, it's just what I was taught to do growing up, that you tell people what you're going to do and you go out and do it.
	Unfortunately, in politics, that's fairly rare, particularly for conservatives, which is even more bizarre because what we find is that Conservatives win and stay in office when they do the things that they say they're going to do.
	Liberals win when they run like conservatives, but then they don't do what they say they're going to do.
	And so I think there's many conservatives who feel intimidated.
	As the left has gone from just being biased on campus and biased in culture to going to political correctness to now just outright cancel culture.
	And I think there are far too many conservatives who are intimidated, which is exactly the intention, the reason why they want to cancel out.
	All conservative voices in our society these days is because our ideas work.
	And so if you somehow are allowed to expose those ideas, particularly to young minds, and you make the case, for example, the failures of socialism in a place like Cuba or Venezuela versus the success of freedom and opportunity in America, you can see plainly the facts clearly show that it succeeds.
	But somehow we get intimidated and it's really compounded, particularly this last year, where the left has been very, very effective.

	Hey, Larry.
	Thank you for having me on.
	I'm doing okay, I guess, in a circumstance since I'm packing as we speak.
	I've lived in Minneapolis since 1999. Love the city.
	Lots to do.
	Lots to offer.
	Great opportunity, but I'm moving.
	And I want to tell you, I can't hardly even get a U-Haul truck to get out of the city.
	The biggest truck I can get is a 15-footer because everybody is leaving.
	And they've been doing this for the last year, but...
	This Marxist, socialist mayor that we have here in Minneapolis and the governor, they can't put the genie back in the bottle.
	They let the third precinct burn.
	That's my precinct.
	I was up during the nights and protecting my neighborhood, and it's just an atrocity what they've done to this city.
	It was a beautiful, great city.
	Lots of opportunity, but it's time for her to go, and I'm moving to Bella Vista, Arkansas, and I've got to go.
	Rick, my next question was going to be, are people leaving the city or are people leaving the state?
	Well, I know that they're leaving the city and moving to the rural areas.
	I know that for sure.
	That's what I was shared with today by, I won't mention the name of the truck.
	Moving trucks, but I can only say that I know that they're moving out of the city.
	I don't know that they're moving out of the state for sure.
	Well, Rick, thank you so much for the call.
	I really appreciate that.

	Hi everybody Reading to you, Brett Stephens, the only voice that dissents from the New York Times at the New York Times.
	And I think they hired him.
	He was a great columnist at the Wall Street Journal, where he won a Pulitzer Prize.
	And I think the Times wanted a prominent Never Trumper.
	The problem is Trump isn't eternal, and so Stephens returns to his anti-left roots.
	I'm sure that there are a lot of unhappy people at the New York Times.
	So I said to you, reading the comments is so profoundly instructive.
	How do New York Times readers react to this column?
	A lot.
	Actually agree that the liberals, it's called the liberal crack-up, that the left is pushing liberals away.
	I am less sanguine, fancy word for optimistic, that liberals will vote Republican.
	They have been truly brainwashed to believe that there is no amount...
	Of America crushing that can happen on the left that would enable them to vote Republican.
	Here's an example of that.
	LT in Chicago.
	The result will be a liberal crack-up, quote-unquote.
	Perhaps, but speaking as someone likely in that left-of-center group that you feel is on the verge of abandoning liberalism, don't underestimate the repellent power of the Republican Party.
	So, he writes, pushed to where?
	The Republican Party?
	Now, listen to how he describes, or she, describes the Republican Party.
	The party of proudly racist Trump?
	Really?
	Donald Trump was proudly racist?
	What is the person referring to?
	Really?
	I assume they're referring to his description of many illegals coming over the border and Charlottesville.
	So two comments.
	Charlottesville has no basis.
	The description in his early campaign about illegal immigrants was too broad a brush.
	I agree.
	I'm completely supportive of building the wall, but I have said all of my broadcast life, a lot of these people are decent people.
	It doesn't mean that they should therefore be allowed to come in in the millions.
	That's a separate issue.
	But a lot of them are decent, really decent.
	And I would do, I always say, what they did.
	Anyway, he made an intemperate comment, in my opinion.
	Doesn't brand him a racist.
	It's a gigantic lie.
	I think Donald Trump cares about race as much as he cares about medieval Hungarian poetry.
	So again, push to what?
	The Republican Party?
	The party of proudly racist Trump?
	The party of elected seditionists like Hawley and Cruz?
	They're seditionists?
	Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz are seditionists.
	And the majority of Republican House members, the one with a growing QAnon presence in the House, QAnon presence in the House.
	This guy's really a CNN watcher and New York Times reader.
	So you see, that's what I mean.
	Oh, excuse me.
	And finally, The one with a growing QAnon presence in the House, state representatives in over 40 states who are all in on voter suppression?
	Voter suppression.
	See?
	It works!
	The lies about the right work on vast numbers of liberals slash leftists.
	However, I am happy to say, That more than a few liberals are slightly offended by the lies that drown the country in the anti-racism rhetoric of the left.
	There is hope.
	And you know I do not patronize you with false hope.
	But there is hope.
	However, the battle is with, ironically, the tech companies and the suppression of free speech.
	And now, ladies and gentlemen, relieffactor.com, 800-500-8384, one of the finest products that I have had the honor of endorsing.
	I endorsed it because my wife told me.
	At the very beginning, it had alleviated her knee pain, and I was not aware of it.
	There you go.
	Something about my wife I didn't know.
	Happily, I found out about it in time to say, okay, I'll endorse Relief Factor.
	It turns out to be an incredible product.
	Try it for three weeks for $20.
	If it doesn't work in three weeks, they tell you it probably won't work.

	A reminder about Pure Talk for $30 a month.
	It's hard to believe.
	You get free unlimited text, not free.
	It's $30 a month.
	Unlimited text, unlimited talk, and six gigabytes of data.
	Go over data, they don't charge you.
	You can get iPhones and Android phones at great prices.
	It's hard to believe it's that inexpensive, so I actually signed up with a second phone, and it's the same thing, essentially.
	They just dropped essentially the same thing, to the best of my knowledge, as Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
	If you dial pound 250 and say Dennis Prager on your phone now.
	By the way, you keep your phone number and keep your phone if you want.
	Nothing to do.
	Just pay half the price you pay.
	About an $800 a year saving.
	It's a big deal.
	Say Dennis Prager.
	You got half off the first month.
	Pound 250 and say Dennis Prager.
	Larry in Orange County, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	I'm almost tempted to lay that cop shooting death in Ohio at Valerie Jarrett and the lawyer's feet.
	Here's my rationale.
	Maybe the screwed up thinking that they're putting in this little girl's mind is having her think that a cop won't react to what she's going to do.
	If she had the proper fear and respect for police officers, when he arrived on scene, the mere fact of him being there would have de-escalated the situation.
	I happen to agree with you fully.
	I believe that a lot of non-white people involved in violence can be attributed today To a belief that the police won't do a damn thing because they're too afraid to.
	And they're not scared of police.
	And I agree.
	The crime rates, the murder rates, the rape rates, the theft rates are up astronomically in big cities.
	New York City just passed a law, I read it to you the other day, that you can sue police officers much more easily.
	You're a police officer.
	You could be personally sued.
	You think you are going to be proactive in your combating criminals or would-be criminals?
	I don't think so.
	The results of left-wing policies never hurt the rich.
	They always hurt the poor.
	They hurt the people in whose name they speak.
	Kids have been ruined.
	This past year and a half, and for longer than that, by teachers' unions.
	That's how it works.
	Every group is used by the left for power.
	Blacks are used by the Democrats.
	Women are used by feminists.
	Blacks are used by the Democratic Party.

	Liberalism believes that truth tends to be many shaded and complex.
	Anti-racism is a great simplifier, good and evil, black and white.
	This is where Bret Stephens' piece is.
	I'm quoting from that piece.
	Morally and philosophically, liberalism believes in individual autonomy which entails a concept of personal responsibility.
	The current model of anti-racism scoffs at this.
	It divides the world into racial identities which in turn are governed by systems of privilege and powerlessness.
	Liberalism believes in process, a trial, or contest is fair.
	If standards are consistent and rules are equitable irrespective of outcome, anti-racism is determined to make a process achieve a desired outcome.
	Liberalism finds appeals to racial favoritism inherently suspect, even offensive.
	Anti-racism welcomes such favoritism.
	Provided it's in the name of writing past wrongs.
	This is where the anti-racism narrative will profoundly alienate liberal-minded America, even as it entrenches itself in schools, universities, corporations, and other institutions of American life.
	Well, that's the big question.
	Will, in fact, liberalism be alienated?
	Profoundly alienated by the left.
	I don't think enough liberals have the courage to face reality.
	I hope he's right.
	It's possible to look at Floyd's murder as the epitome of evil and not see a racist motive in every bad encounter.
	And not see a racist motive in every bad encounter between a white cop and a minority suspect, including the recent shootings of Adam Toledo in Chicago and Dante Wright in Minnesota.
	It's possible to think that the police make too many assumptions about young black men, sometimes with tragic consequences, and still recognize that young black men commit violent crimes at a terribly disproportionate rate.
	Is there one other person in the New York Times that has said in the last ten years, ten years, one writer in the New York Times, guest writer, as they now call them, or paid columnist, who has said that young black men commit violent crimes at a terribly disproportionate rate?
	They all lie by omission just as much as by commission.
	It's possible to believe that effective policing requires that cops gain the trust of the communities they serve while recognizing that those communities are ill-served when cops are afraid to do their jobs.
	That's right.
	That's why there are 2,000-something hundred comments.
	on the piece.

	I've got to tell you, this is about the most moronic thing I have seen in my entire career.
	I have never seen such an aggressive...
	I mean, I think you've got to go back to the days of the Revolutionary War and the British tyranny over our 13 colonies to find anything as ludicrous and onerous as this tax plan, Seb.

	What is it proposing and what would it actually result in?
	Okay, so basically he's looking at anywhere from 39% and change to 40%.
	3% on capital gains taxes.
	So this means any money that you invest, if you have a business, for example, you're a small business owner, or suppose you invest in the stock market because you're saving up for your retirement, instead of it getting taxed at the current 20% level, it's going to be taxed at double that.
	Now, the administration would say, oh, don't worry, it's only going to affect people that have more than a million dollars.
	Well...
	Look, there's a lot of small business owners that have been toiling away for 30 years that are getting ready to sell their business.

	Ibram X. Kendi argues that the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.
	The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.
	Some liberals will go along with this.
	Many others will find themselves drifting rightward, much as a past generation of disaffected liberals did.

	Hello, John.
	Hi.
	You know, a former police officer, Kurt Military, and...
	I worked at food bank in Gary, Indiana last year, and these children are just not raised right.
	And I understand they're from broken homes.
	I get that part.
	I was working at the food bank.
	My partner and I were, I won't say a constant, whatever you want to call it, by two females, young females, and gave us a hard time about wanting to break into a better part of the line.
	And then when older gentlemen, older black gentlemen, wanted to break in and try to correct the situation for respect, they also disrespected them.
	You know, I will never work that again if that's what I've got to put up with.
	I did that as a police officer, and I shouldn't have to do that now.
	But a lot of this comes from how these kids are raised.
	That, my friend, is an understatement.
	That is correct.
	It's also raised not only in their homes, but by the society.
	Remember, this is a very, very important rule about the left.
	The left has never hated evil.
	The left hates those who fight evil.
	The only evil that they hated was Nazism.
	But other than that, communism they didn't hate, but they hated anti-communists.
	They don't hate criminals, violent criminals.
	They hate the police.
	It's a sick world, that of the left.
	Vito in Chicago wants to know why do I call them the left instead of Marxist-communist?
	Because more people will hear what I have to say if I say the left than if I say Marxist and communist.
	They are indistinguishable from Marxist and communists, and I note that often.
	That is the effective title.
	Much more effective than a name that they don't use.
	And that's the reason.
	Alright, y'all.
	Guess what?

	Here's Nancy Pelosi getting a question at her presser yesterday about District of Columbia's statehood cut number 12.
	Statehood for the District of Columbia.
	I proudly wear this 51 hat.
	So it's an honor to join Democrats from both.
	Okay, so she's wearing a mask that has the number 51 on it in D.C.
	Let me just...
	The reason this annoys me so much is it's based on your not knowing what the Constitution says.
	She ought to know what the Constitution says.
	The 23rd Amendment to the United States Constitution extends the right to vote in presidential elections to citizens residing in the District of Columbia.
	The amendment grants the district electors in the Electoral College as though it were a state, though the district can never have more electors than the least populous state.
	The 23rd Amendment was proposed in 1960, and it was ratified in 1961. So the status of the District of Columbia is fixed in the Constitution.
	That means for D.C. to achieve statehood, there has to be a constitutional amendment, not a statute.
	This is Government 101. It's 8th grade civics.
	And so when the Speaker of the House stands up and the House moves to pass D.C. as a 51st state, they are ignoring the Constitution which they have taken an oath to uphold and defend.
	You cannot make D.C. a state unless you first, unless you first change the Constitution.
	You cannot, as Senator Romney proposed, revert D.C. to Maryland without first changing the Constitution.

	And in it...
	He gave a warning I often quote.
	He didn't just celebrate all the good that had happened, the changes in the economy, the improvements in the country, the increase in patriotism.
	He gave a warning for parents going into the 90s, which was so prophetic.
	about needing to re-institutionalize that belief in America and the American idea.
	He's actually specifically said we need to do more to teach American history and to share in civic rituals.
	I thought of him recently when the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, was talking about not even playing the national anthem anymore at the basketball games.
	Thankfully, that got reversed.
	But that I don't know about you, but for me, that things like that were the things that it honestly didn't even matter whether you were a Democrat or Republican or somewhere in between, young or old.
	Everyone stood for the flag when it came by in the parade.
	Everyone said the Pledge of Allegiance.
	Everyone sang the national anthem.
	Those were things that united us like the threads in the very flag itself.
	And sadly, the left, the radical element of the left is even taking that away from us in America.
	We need to regain that.
	We need to reach out and grab that and bring that back.

	One of the keys to actual real happiness is earned success.

	But earning your success, because, you know, getting a handout from somebody never makes you feel good about yourself.
	This recommendation sounds as if it's going to just destroy the capacity for earned excess.
	Because what's the point?
	I mean, the government's just going to keep taking it all.
	Don't forget, when you invest in something like a business or in the markets, you're taking a big chance, right?
	It's not the same as labor.
	Yet they want to treat that money that you've already paid taxes on now as labor.

	I got a note from Bloomberg the other day in one of their reports, and they were talking about income inequality between white America and black America.

	Hi everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	And I welcome you to the Male-Female Hour.
	Every Wednesday, the second hour of my show is devoted to what I believe is the most honest talk about men and women in the American media at this time.
	If I'm wrong, I have no problem with that.
	If there's more honest talk about it, I would like to know where that is and emulate it.
	And I often remind you that I am not a man fan or a woman fan.
	I'm a good person fan, so that renders me pretty objective and neutral on these matters.
	Today's topic will hit many of you very, very much directly, and some of you it will not.
	But all of you...
	We'll understand that it is an important issue.
	Oh, nearly all of you.
	So I have a question.
	Call in as soon as you hear it, because I would like this to be more dialogue than monologue hour.
	Some of my hours are indeed...
	Monologue hours.
	Anyway, here it is.
	Here's the question.
	The question is, looking back at your raising of your daughter, or daughters, obviously, do you wish that you had encouraged marriage more?
	That's the question.
	Given how many young women have no interest, or at least no interest that they would acknowledge in getting married, or it's on the back burner, profession is first and foremost.
	So given that, are you...
	Are you pleased with the fact, I guess that's a corollary question, are you pleased with the fact that you raised a daughter in a home?
	Whether or not you said it, but your home accepted it, the most important thing for a girl is a professionally successful life.
	By the way, I would certainly apply this to boys as well.
	But men have an easier time finding someone at 40 than women do.
	That's just fact.
	Facts are facts.
	They're not sexist.
	They're facts.
	Well, a fact could be sexist, I guess.
	But that's another subject for another time.
	1-8 Prager 776. Do you wish that you would encourage marriage, push marriage more with your daughter now that she has grown?
	Now, it may very well be that everything turned out great as far as that is concerned.
	It may even be that you still think it's more important for a woman to have a successful professional life.
	You know what nobody thinks about?
	I shouldn't say nobody.
	You know what a lot of people don't think about?
	For both sexes, when they speak about the centrality of career in a human's life, are you ready?
	I should do this in another hour.
	But it's germane here.
	What do you do when the career ends?
	Right?
	Bye.
	Thank you.
	Nobody thinks about that.
	It's very much like Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death.
	People know intellectually that they'll die, but they don't really believe it.
	It's not in their gut.
	And that's fine.
	That's the way it is.
	Probably built in.
	The same with the end of a career.
	They know their career will end, but they don't think about it, just as they don't think about death.
	So if all of your eggs, your happiness eggs, your fulfillment eggs are in the career basket, what happens when that ends?
	And if that ends at 65, you may well, well, well have 30 more years.
	30!
	Of non-career.
	Will you be happy that you devoted your life to your career at that time?
	Maybe you will.
	You know my view, but I'm not skewing the question in favor of my view.
	I'm just posing these questions.
	The most obvious example of not thinking about a career ending are professional athletes.
	I don't know what the average NFL or Major League Baseball player or NHL... What sport did I miss?
	Major League Baseball, NFL, NBA, hockey.
	Okay, those are the big four.
	I don't know what they think, but everyone thinks it's going to be a long career.
	And the average is a few years.
	That's why many athletes who made a lot of money in professional sports are impoverished later in life.
	They spent all their money while they made all that money, sort of thinking this isn't going to end.
	I mean, they obviously didn't think they'd still be playing hockey at 45. The average NFL career is under five years.
	That's right.
	I think that they have now...
	They bring in some people to speak to professional athletes about their economic life and warn them about this.
	Maybe it takes, maybe it doesn't.
	All right, 1-8 Prager 776. And let's go to Dawn somewhere in Northern California.
	Hi, Dawn.
	Hi, Dennis.
	How are you?
	I'm well.
	Thank you for calling.
	Okay, well...
	As soon as I heard your topic, I don't have any children because I am not married, and primarily much of that, I believe, is because when I was young, my mom, I was raised by someone who was a very kind of active woman's liver, but at the same time, she didn't really live that way.
	She hooked up with somebody when I was four years old, and they've been together until this day, but she always encouraged me to wait.
	You know, well, honey, just wait until you're 40 and then get married.
	Well, I turned 40, and then she's like, well, now I'm worried, and now I'm 50, and I'm still single.
	So, I think that...
	You know, and yet, all the while, you know, my mother, she has, you know, all that stuff that she would encourage in me, she never actually lived out herself.
	You know, she has a great life.
	Well, your mother is the person I address when I say to all the folks on the left in my life, I say, you should preach what you practice.
	Yes, well, exactly, and she has a great life.
	With a great man, but let me tell you, she has most of what she has is because she has a good man who wanted to make her dreams come true.
	And so here I feel like I'm 50 and I'm still single and, you know, I'm still working it out and I do have a great life, but yeah, there's clearly something missing.
	And so...
	Well, I wish you success and I thank you profoundly for the honest call.
	I wish every young woman could hear it.

	If you didn't push and encourage marriage with regard to raising your daughter, do you, in retrospect, wish you had?
	Now, obviously, I think a lot of people made a big boo-boo in this regard.
	But I'm not forcing any answers.
	If you're happy with the way you raised your daughter...
	By the way, I think boys should be encouraged to marriage as well.
	But the price paid by a woman is greater.
	There's no ticking biological clock in a male with regard to pregnancy.
	And it's just easier.
	Because of the way things are in the world, not because of sexism, just because the way things are.
	It's easier for a 40-year-old man to find a 30-year-old woman than a 40-year-old woman to find a 30-year-old man.
	By the way, or want a 30-year-old man, for that matter.
	All right, let's see here.
	Brian in Scottsdale, Arizona.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	It's an honor to be with you.
	Thank you.
	So, I have a daughter, and I emphasize that she grew up to be married and be a great wife.
	Because what I see is that behind every great man is a woman, and I want my daughter to be that woman for a great man one day.
	How old is your daughter?
	She's young, so she's five, and I have two boys, one that's eight and one that's ten.
	So this is how you are raising her?
	Yes.
	So obviously you can't tell us the results, but I agree with you.
	Are you a religious home?
	Yes, certainly.
	Well, this is reason number 826, why the religious tend to produce healthier people.
	I also happen to be a retired professional athlete, so I see the hollow victory of a successful athletic career.
	Wow.
	Let me guess.
	Let me guess.
	You sound to me...
	I'm narrowing it down to baseball and football.
	I'll say baseball.
	Well, I grew up thinking I was going to be a baseball player, but it ended up being football.
	Well, I was really guessing what you grew up thinking you would be.
	That's right.
	What did you play?
	What was your position?
	I played for the 49ers.
	I was a special teams long snapper.
	You know, this is going to sound like a joke.
	It is not meant to be.
	I never met a long snapper.
	You're the first.
	You guys don't get injured, isn't that correct?
	Well, yeah, you play like 12 or 14 plays a game, and you try to not get killed by the defensive linemen when they hit you in the back with all their might.
	Uh-huh.
	That's right.
	As Sean just said, and you only get noticed if you make a mistake.
	Yeah, that's right.
	So I managed to not get killed or fired for 13 years in a row.
	No, bless you.
	That's great.
	But did you know the limitations of a professional sports career?
	Well, I knew at one point my income was going to drop to zero, and my skills weren't going to transfer.
	So, yes, is the short answer.
	So you didn't spend all your money?
	No, and I wanted to...
	I think it would be...
	If you have a chance to play pro sports in your 20s, you do it.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	But you don't turn it down.
	No, I totally agree with you.
	Especially the long snapper for the 49ers.
	Great deal.
	And then the thing was amazing.
	I got to see exceptional people and the way their lives operate.
	And I was raised in the 80s that boys and girls were the same.
	And, like, profession was important.
	Like, I needed a job.
	And then I met all the most successful people that had the most money in the world, and they did what they loved, and they were in relationship with great people, and they focused on relationships and contribution, and money showed up.
	So did you meet your wife while you were a player?
	Yes.
	Was she waiting for you outside the locker room?
	No, I outkicked my coverage.
	She was introduced to me through a mutual friend, a teammate at the time.
	And she is a better athlete.
	She's an attorney.
	She's a beautiful model beauty.
	And she happened to take a fondness to me, which I found kind of surprising.
	But yeah, we were friends.
	You know what?
	You've got a lot of charm.
	I think your charm, wit, professional athlete, let me tell you something.
	You're a desirable hunk.
	Well, thank you.
	And I would also just agree that guys have an easier time finding a spouse in their 40s.
	You know, so I've had, like, my wife has friends in their late 30s that it's an emergency that they get married and have kids.
	I see there's a lot of suffering there for women that grew up building a career, and they're looking at the next 40 years of their life being alone.
	It's scary.
	Well, thank you for your call.
	That's exactly my theme.
	A long snapper for the 49ers.
	This is one of the joys of my work.
	You know, never thought I'd talk to one.
	I love it.
	I really do.
	So this is the question, my friends.
	Are you raising your daughter?
	Did you raise your daughter?
	If you were a daughter, were you raised with too little emphasis on getting married?
	That's the question.
	All right.
	Mary, Albany, New York.
	Getting a lot of calls from Albany.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	How are you today?
	I'm well.
	Good.
	First, I have to say, when I first started listening to you, I envisioned a salt-and-pepper-haired gentleman.
	Right.
	It wasn't until I saw a couple of your PragerU videos that I realized it's not salt-and-pepper.
	It's all salt.
	This is like the Dead Sea.
	Exactly.
	At least you're not going Himalayan pink.
	No, not now.
	No, I went through that stage.
	Actually, I didn't, but that's very funny.
	To be honest, I feel very blessed with all my hair.
	I got it from my mother.
	She had gorgeous, full white hair until 1989 when she passed away.
	Yeah, that's how my family is.
	I've got Sicilian in me.
	Right.
	Alright, so what's on your mind?
	But to answer your question, no, I didn't push marriage on either of my kids.
	My biggest thing was I've been on my own since I was 17, and a lot of the adventures that I went on, tire gliding, whitewater rafting, I would have never been able to do if I had a kid.
	So I placed rules on my kids that they had to do 10 things in their life.
	It doesn't matter what those 10 things were, but they had to do 10 things in their life, and they couldn't do it.
	All right, hold on with me.
	I'm very curious to know.
	how they grew up or well how yeah how they are now this is carol platley bow for townhall.com president biden has formally established a commission to consider adding seats to the supreme court justices
	ruth bader ginsburg and stephen Breyer, both appointed by a Democratic president, have opposed it, but the left is angry.
	They don't like the Supreme Court's rulings, so they want to change its composition.
	It's called court packing, from when, in 1937, Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt tried and failed to do it.
	President Biden must have forgotten he once called the idea of expanding the Supreme Court a terrible, terrible mistake and boneheaded.
	And make no mistake, it is a terrible idea.
	Any politically driven effort to change the court's structure will only reinforce the perception that our judicial branch is guided by politics rather than by legal principle.
	Over time, a packed court would surely erode confidence in the rule of law, which is indispensable to governing a free people.

	I guess we're taking a break from knife fights and China in some way.
	But it's not a good break.
	What is going on with the Biden tax plan?
	I gotta tell you, this is about the most moronic thing I have seen in my entire career.
	I have never seen such an aggressive...
	I mean, I think you gotta go back to...
	You know, the days of the Revolutionary War and the British tyranny over our 13 colonies to find anything as ludicrous and onerous as this tax plan, Seb.
	My stomach turned when I saw it.
	You know, we knew he was a socialist.
	We knew he would try things like this.
	You know, there's still a part of you.
	It's like, okay, well, you know, he's got to really want the best thing for America, right?
	And this is not the best thing for America.
	This is disastrous for America.
	So break it down for us.
	What is it proposing and what will it actually result in?
	Okay, so basically he's looking at anywhere from 39% and change to 43% on capital gains taxes.
	So this means any money that you invest, if you have a business, for example, you're a small business owner, or suppose you invest in the stock market because you're saving up for your retirement, instead of it getting taxed at the current 20% level, it's going to be taxed at double that.
	Now, the administration would say, oh, don't worry.
	It's only going to affect people that have more than a million dollars.
	Well, right.
	Look, there's a lot of small business owners that have been toiling away for 30 years that are getting ready to sell their business.
	Their business is going to be valued at more than a million dollars.
	So that's going to be a problem.

	You guys call it literally a war on small business.
	Lay it out for us about what small business owners are up against and what Job Creators Network is doing about it.
	Yeah, well, you laid it out just great there, Mike.
	I mean, when you think about the last year with the pandemic, if you are Amazon or Uber Eats or DoorDash, you've done fantastic.
	But if you're a mom-and-pop restaurant, if you're a dry cleaner or pizza parlor or hairdresser, you've been really hurt.
	And if you're still around, you've been really hurt.
	Or maybe you're gone and you're thinking, how do I start over?
	And as we come out of this pandemic and we're starting to see states open, some of them much slower than others, we're starting to see people get back to work and businesses start to reopen.
	And that's a good thing.
	And now you can't open a newspaper or listen to the radio or turn on the TV without hearing some new policy.
	...that the Biden administration is putting out that is literally an assault on small businesses.
	And that's why we're calling it, you know, these first hundred days has literally been a declaration of war on small businesses.
	You know, if it isn't supporting $15 an hour...
	...lessons that I have learned in the course of my long radio career.
	It would be fun to write them out, lessons I have learned, because they're applicable to all aspects of life, not just if you are a radio talk show host.
	One of the greatest possible professions a human can have if you enjoy learning about human beings.
	So I'm learning about human beings today, as you are.
	The question of the male-female hour is, did you raise your daughter?
	To believe that marriage was truly significant and should be an aim of hers, or did you emphasize career over that?
	And are you happy with the way you did it?
	Now, Mary in Albany, who is a delight to talk to, I might add.
	Mary, and you, let me understand, you have daughters?
	I have a daughter and a son.
	But you're single.
	No, I'm married, but it's not working out.
	Yeah, okay, you sounded like it.
	I'm very sorry about that, by the way.
	I appreciate the sentiment.
	Yes, I am.
	I've gone through it.
	It's a very painful thing.
	So you have raised your daughter and son, that they have to have sort of a list of...
	Adventurous things to do in life and tick them off.
	Did I get that correctly?
	Right, but they can't do it in the state in which we live in because a lot of the life that you see outside of where you live only happens outside of where you live.
	So many of the things, it opened my eyes when I was 17 and I traveled across country from New York to California and I saw a lot of the stuff I wouldn't have been able to see.
	If I had kids or was married.
	So I told them that you need to be able to have adventures before you settle down.
	And I've been lucky.
	Knock on wood.
	Well, how old are they?
	My son is 26. He just got out of the Marines.
	He went the smart way and had the government pay for his adventures.
	And my daughter is 19. Alright, I'm a bit confused.
	How old are you?
	49. Oh, I have 40 here, and I thought, you had a child at 14?
	No, it's one of those, I don't really like answering that age thing, because I'm so close to 50. Yeah, by the way, you know why you don't like answering it?
	That's totally natural.
	But another reason is, I think, and it's a painful thing for me to say, but if your marriage does end, then you will be particularly conscious of your age.
	No, no, I'm fine with my age.
	It's the telling people my age thing.
	Well, all right, no, then you're not fine with your age.
	I accept all the adventures I've had in my life in these 49 years.
	Right, no, I know.
	All right, I'm not going to belabor that point.
	Okay, so how old is your daughter?
	She's 19. She just finished high school.
	So if I said to her what I say to every young woman I meet, If I could offer you two guarantees, which guarantee would you take?
	And remember, the other one is not ruled out, it's just not guaranteed.
	One guarantee is a great career, one guarantee is a great marriage.
	What would your daughter say?
	I think she would choose career, to be honest with you.
	She likes to draw.
	Right, so would you encourage that answer?
	I would.
	Whatever her heart desires, whatever her heart feels is in her best interest.
	Because at the end of the day, no matter what choices I make, those affect me.
	Her choices affect her.
	So if she decides that's what she wants, then I'm going to be right there with her.
	One other question, because I often ask this.
	Is yours a religious or more secular home?
	Well, it started secular.
	My house is now currently religious.
	I was raised Roman Catholic.
	I had some bad things happen to me as a child in my home, so I kind of had an angry thing about God.
	So it took a while for me to forgive Him.
	Are you back in the church?
	The problem is, where I live, there's not a whole lot of Catholic churches around here.
	I'm sure there were 50 years ago.
	I've been invited to non-denominations, but it's not quite the same.
	All right.
	Bless your soul.
	Thank you.
	She is obviously a delightful human being, but I differ about raising kids and letting their heart guide them in what they do.
	All right.

	The conservative commentary space and the conservative activist space is not giving an inch when it has come to this nonsense of what happened in Ohio.
	It's really, really good.
	Because what would have happened five years ago is we would have had some, you know, Mitt Romney style press release.
	Now, while the officer very well might have been justified, this is just another example of a situation gone wrong, of systemic structural racism, and only corporate tax cuts and mass immigration, drug legalization is the way to do this.
	Like some sort of weird, bizarre corporate Republican approach to this.
	Now, every single conservative commentator that I've seen has said, you know what?
	This is a knife fight.
	The police officer tried to break it up.
	He tried to intervene peacefully.
	And he saved a young black girl's life.
	Here's this guy in MSNBC, Jason Johnson.
	This is a guy who's teaching your children, by the way.
	He's a professor at Morgan State University.
	He has now earned a position on our professor watch list.
	Play cut 97. Nakia Bryant, a 16-year-old girl in Columbus, Ohio, called the police for help.
	An officer was on the scene, and in 22 seconds, he shot her dead.
	An honor roll student who's making TikTok videos on makeup and hair.
	This hasn't stopped.
	And still, 40 minutes after that ruling, a 16-year-old girl can be shot in front of her house.
	So no, I'm not hopeful.
	Because unless there is wholesale, wholesale change, abolishment of this institution that continues to fail tax-paying Black people in this country, everything else is just fanciful thinking.

	The Male Female Hour.
	Did you encourage your daughters to get married when you raised them or are raising them now?
	That's the question.
	And when you look back, are you happy with the way you did raise them?
	Specifically daughters, but this would apply to sons as well, but I'm talking about daughters for reasons that I explained earlier.
	Nancy, Chicago.
	Hello, Nancy.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Hi.
	I have five daughters, eight children total, and I never really encourage them career.
	Or marriage, either way, it's their lives to live.
	I think you can set by example is the most strong thing, you know, you can do for your children.
	And we grew up just in response to a lot of the questions you had for that other gal.
	We're a very faith-filled family.
	Faith is the most important thing.
	I've tried to teach my children, as we know when you ask that one woman, I don't know if she focused on a guaranteed You know, joyful marriage or successful marriage are guaranteed, because nothing's guaranteed in life.
	Right, but I just offer that as a question to get people...
	Okay, go on.
	Right, two of my oldest are not married.
	I think 33 and 30, my middle daughter is, and then I have one in high school and one who's just a couple years out of college.
	But it's hard.
	I mean, like, you've got to meet the right person.
	I mean, we've seen so many, you know, failed marriages.
	I don't want to feel...
	Okay, but you have to look for the right person.
	You can't just meet the right person.
	I mean, you work for a PhD.
	Why don't you work to find a husband?
	Right.
	That's a hard thing.
	I think there's a real shortage, it's just my opinion, but a real shortage of good men out there.
	Right.
	I agree with you, but that argues even more strongly that women marry early, while the pickings aren't so slim.
	Yeah, I just don't know how you can tell them to find that person.
	I mean, you tell us how to find good men.
	No, no, no.
	How to is a different question than you ought to.
	It sounds like you didn't, and I'm not blaming you or anything, I'm just saying it sounds like you didn't raise them with the ought.
	You know, girls, it's really important to find a good man.
	No, no, I never pressure.
	Okay.
	Never pressure.
	I have a sister who never married and is very happy because she never feels alone because of her faith again.
	So I think you can be happy and be single and without family, you know, as my mother raised eight of us.
	So let me ask you a question.
	You say you're a religious home, and of course I believe you.
	So the first thing God ever says in the Bible about humans is, "It is not good for man to be alone." So why wouldn't you want to push that idea on your own children?
	I guess I don't want to pressure them to think that if they don't find the right person, they failed.
	They did.
	I don't want to...
	I don't agree with you.
	It's a failure if you don't find the right person.
	It doesn't mean it's your moral failure.
	But it is a failure.
	I mean, if you don't pass the bar exam, you failed.
	That's an academic situation.
	You're right.
	I don't think marriage is an academic situation.
	No, it's more important than an academic situation.
	Correct.
	Okay, listen.
	Okay, whoops, I'm sorry.
	One second.
	Let me get you back here.
	Yeah, go on.
	I just don't think you can force that issue.
	I guess I look at my sister and others who are very happy.
	Are they alone in that way?
	Yes.
	But, like, as my mother, who raised eight of us, and she lost her husband at a very early age.
	He was 57 when he died.
	And she had us then, of course.
	But she said, I'm never alone.
	I'm with our Lord.
	You know, I just...
	I don't think you're a failure if you didn't find the right person in marriage.
	Wait, no.
	You are not a failure.
	It is a failure.
	If you hold it as...
	Okay, this is a worthy discussion of another hour, a whole hour, ten hours.
	It fascinates me.
	Yeah, it's a failure.
	If you want to get married and you didn't meet the right person, it's a failure.
	It doesn't mean you are a failure.
	They have nothing to do with one another.
	But it is a failure.
	Why are we...
	This is part of the great American problem.
	We have just...
	We have softened beyond belief that we can't say that.
	It's a failure.
	If you want to get married and you didn't meet the right person, that's a failure.
	Why are we going to call it a success?
	It doesn't mean you are a failure.
	If you failed to win your football game, you failed to win.
	But it doesn't mean you're a failure.
	The two have nothing to do with each other.
	Now, if you don't have any...
	Any care at all about getting married, it's not a failure if you didn't meet the right person.
	But if you want to, yes, you failed in meeting the right person.
	I am at a loss as to why people would not use that language.
	Because it hurts people's feelings?
	It doesn't help people.
	We're too preoccupied with, might it hurt somebody's feelings?
	We should never gratuitously hurt people's feelings.
	But in the name of not hurting people's feelings, we are depriving them of a realistic look at what might improve their lives.
	Yeah, it's not a failure if you didn't meet the right person.
	And by the way, this notion that there are happy people who have never married, of course there are.
	That's not the issue either.
	It's what is the ideal.
	There are happy people who have been blind since birth.
	Blindness is not the ideal.
	and have a lot of blind listeners.

	You stood up to the radicals in Wisconsin rather famously.
	What do you think accounts for the inability of so many in the GOP to stand up at the moment when we need them to stand up?
	It's amazing to me that doing what you said you're going to do is considered courageous.
	To me, it's just what I was taught to do growing up, that, you know, you tell people what you're going to do and you go out and do it.
	Unfortunately, in politics, that's fairly rare, particularly for conservatives, which is even more bizarre because what we find is that conservatives win and stay in office when they do the things that they say they're going to do.
	Liberals win when they run like conservatives.
	But then they don't do what they say they're going to do.
	And so I think there's many conservatives who feel intimidated as the left has gone from just being biased on campus and biased.

	Patty in Thousand Oaks, California.
	Hello.
	Oh, hi, Dennis.
	Hi.
	I feel like I am the quintessential subject for this topic.
	My mother was very unhappy, and she was very unhappily married.
	And she placed great emphasis on not getting married and just concentrating on a career.
	So I'm 60 years old.
	I went to law school.
	I started a business.
	And I feel kind of empty in that regard.
	And here's the kicker.
	I have two younger sisters.
	They've never been married either.
	Well, your mother got her message across.
	She did.
	Well, I thank you for the call.
	My heart goes out to you.
	The mistakes that have been made since the World War II generation raised children, since after that.
	It is only a deep person, like Patty, who can say it's kind of empty, all that professional success.
	Find great fulfillment in work alone.
	That's a very important point.
	Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Dave.
	Hello, Dave.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Thank you.
	You don't have a lot of time.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, I just wanted to real quick, I have two daughters that are fully grown now, and from the time they were small, you know, we taught them to be, you know, thankless for themselves, and of course, you know, within guide rules, make their own decisions, and, you know, granted, I mean, you know, we're a religious family, and my wife and I would like to have grandkids, but why one daughter's married, the other isn't, they're both very successful.
	I don't think it's important.
	I think maybe some people put too much emphasis on getting married as opposed to just live your life out and if it happens, it happens.
	Okay, well bless you.
	And that comes from a religious home.
	I've got to talk about that in the near future.
	Raising your kids as free thinkers, what that means.
	Thanks.

	Hey Larry, thank you for having me on.
	I'm doing okay, I guess, in a circumstance since I'm packing as we speak.
	I've lived in Minneapolis since 1999, love the city, lots to do, lots to offer, great opportunity, but I'm moving.
	And I want to tell you, I can't hardly even get a U-Haul truck to get out of the city.
	The biggest truck I can get is a 15-footer because everybody is leaving.
	And they've been doing this for the last year, but this Marxist, socialist mayor that we have here in Minneapolis and the governor, they can't put the genie back in the bottle.
	They let the third precinct burn.
	That's my precinct.
	I was up during the nights and protecting my neighborhood.
	And it's just an atrocity what they've done to this city.
	It was a beautiful, great city.
	Lots of opportunity, but it's time for her to go, and I'm moving to Bella Vista, Arkansas, and I've got to go.
	Rick, my next question was going to be, are people leaving the city or are people leaving the state?
	Well, I know that they're leaving the city and moving to the rural areas.
	I know that for sure.
	That's what I was shared with today by...
	I won't mention the name of the moving truck, but I can only say that I know that they're moving out of the city.
	I don't know that they're moving out of the state, for sure.
	Well, Rick, thank you so much for the call.

	An officer was on the scene, and in 22 seconds he shot her dead.
	An honor roll student who's making TikTok videos on makeup and hair.
	This hasn't stopped.
	And still, 40 minutes after that ruling, a 16-year-old girl can be shot in front of her house.
	So no, I'm not hopeful.

	Lay it out for us about what small business owners are up against and what Job Creators Network is doing about it.
	Yeah, well, you laid it out just great there, Mike.
	I mean, when you think about the last year with the pandemic, if you are Amazon or Uber Eats or DoorDash, you've done fantastic.
	But if you're a mom-and-pop restaurant, if you're a dry cleaner or pizza parlor or hairdresser, you've been really hurt.

	I've got a national interest story here 150,000 troops.
	I thought it was 60 to 80,000.
	Russia now has on the Ukrainian border and they have mobilized a bomber and fighter fleet there.
	All signs point to another invasion of Ukraine beyond what Russia has already done.
	What do you think of the situation?
	Well, a couple of days ago in a hearing, I asked the commander of European command what he rated as the likelihood of Russian invasion.
	And he said medium to low.
	But I have to tell you, I disagree with that assessment based on The open source imagery and reporting that I'm seeing, some of which you reference, this is the largest buildup since 2014, I believe.
	And if the Russians decide to invade, their current posture would only give us hours notice at a max.
	So questions we need to be asking the administration.
	How frequently are we communicating?
	All right, everybody. everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager, and I welcome you to the show, or back to the show, as the case may be.
	One of the most courageous people in America is on the line.
	All of you know how much I value courage.
	We may differ often than we have politically.
	We've engaged in dialogue around the country and certainly on this program.
	But I have tremendous respect for Professor Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard Law professor who is known around the world.
	He has a new book.
	Case against the new censorship.
	Protecting free speech from big tech progressives and universities.
	So, Alan Dershowitz, first of all, welcome back to the show.
	Well, thank you.
	Being called courageous by Dennis is a great, great honor for me because you're one of the most courageous people.
	You stand up against political correctness.
	Stand up for principle and have been doing it since I knew you at Yeshiva Flatbush many, many, many years ago.
	In light of that, by the way, it's the last thing I expected, but I do respond to what people say.
	When I talk to people about courage, because it's the biggest issue, I even gave a speech on it.
	Don't you feel, and by the way, I'm not happy about what I'm about to say, Some people have it in their nature, and others have to really work hard to develop it.
	And many never develop it, and they become professors.
	That was great.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Let me revel in that for a moment.
	Okay, I reveled.
	Go ahead.
	In 55 years of academic life and 10 years before that of being in school, I have never seen a less courageous group of people than tenured full professors.
	Let me give you an example.
	Lawrence Tribe.
	Lawrence Tribe never met a constitutional provision that somehow couldn't be interpreted to satisfy his own political.
	Yesterday he came out in favor of the Human Rights Watch proposal that Israel essentially be abolished and that there be a one-state solution with the right of return of 14 million Palestinians coming back.
	The only reason Tribe did this is because it's become politically correct.
	He was a strong supporter of Israel when that was politically correct to do.
	He was a strong supporter of presidential immunity from prosecution when Clinton was president.
	The minute Trump became president, Trump, a tribe, changed his views.
	I mean, talk about courage.
	If there's a guy who's a university professor, does not have the courage to stand up for any principles, and he leads the way among many, many academics.
	He used to be a strong supporter of due process, a strong supporter of free speech.
	But the left is turned against free speech and due process.
	Why do you need due process and free speech?
	We know the truth.
	We know that if a white policeman shoots a black person, of course he's guilty.
	We know that if a woman accuses a mayor, of course he's guilty.
	We know that if somebody says the presidential election was flawed, we know that that's false.
	And if we know the truth, why do we have to bother with these cumbersome things as dissent and due process?
	No!
	We'll get right to the truth and...
	You know, bring about our utopia.
	And, you know, if that sounds like Stalin and Mao and Castro, you can understand why it sounds like them.
	They had the same view.
	They knew what the truth was, and they didn't want anybody to stand in the way by dissenting.
	God, I'm reveling in your truth-telling.
	So what's your theory?
	I have felt this about professors.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Forgive me.
	I have felt this about professors since I was at Columbia Graduate School.
	I couldn't believe how the deans had caved into every radical student demand.
	And, you know, oh, you want to take over my office?
	Oh, can I get you some coffee?
	That was their reaction.
	So the question is, why?
	Why does the professoriate suffer for so much cowardice?
	Well, I think there are two points you've made.
	Number one is the professoriate, and you're right about them.
	Number two is the administrators.
	And the administrators, of course, had no point to view at all.
	They couldn't care.
	They just want quiet.
	And so they will always put oil on the squeakiest wheel.
	They don't necessarily agree with it.
	Let's give you an example of what happened at Harvard.
	We had the first African-American dean of a college at Harvard, Ron Sullivan, great professor, terrific criminal lawyer.
	Everybody loved him.
	He represented the Boston, then New England Patriots guy who was charged with a double murder, and everybody praised him for doing that.
	And then he defended Harvey Weinstein for one month.
	And as a result, people in his college said, we feel unsafe.
	Unsafe?
	In front of a professor?
	This mild-mannered guy who had previously represented an accused double murderer?
	But no, Harvey Weinstein, we feel unsafe.
	And the dean fired him.
	The dean said, we're not renewing your contract.
	We always renew contracts, but in your case, we're not renewing your contract.
	The students don't feel safe in your presence.
	And that's what deans do these days.
	That's what presidents of universities do these days.
	They just go along with the loudest voices.
	They don't necessarily agree with it.
	When you go to dinner parties with them, I used to get invited to a lot of dinner parties before I defended President Trump.
	Lost 15 pounds on the Trump diet because nobody invites me to dinner anymore.
	But when I used to go to dinner parties, these professors would express very positive views about freedom of speech and due process in private, but then in public, when it came to doing it, they didn't want to incur the wrath of the most radical students, and so they go along.
	I did not know the final stage of, what is it, Sullivan?
	Was that his name?
	Yeah, Ron Sullivan.
	I knew that the students had erupted against him for defending Harvey Weinstein, which is exactly what lawyers are supposed to do.
	But I did not know that Harvard fired him.
	Well, they claim they didn't fire him.
	They claim they just didn't renew his contract.
	Imagine if they discovered 50 years ago that a dean was gay, and they said, we're just not going to renew his contract.
	Or 75 years ago, if they discovered somebody who's Jewish.
	And they said, oh, we're not going to renew his contract.
	Everybody would understand that was firing.
	And so every time I describe the Ron Sullivan case, and him too, because I've discussed it with him, he knows he was fired.
	And he was fired because he followed the Constitution.
	Look at the executive of Brooklyn Center, the place where Officer Kim Potter is being charged with manslaughter for making an honest mistake, pulling out what we should do.
	It was a taser yelling, taser, taser, taser.
	And tragically firing a gun.
	So the head, the commissioner, said that, oh, and she's guilty or innocent, but surely she should get due process.
	He got fired.
	He got fired for advocating due process.
	And the reason he got fired is not that the city council necessarily wanted to fire him, but the radical agitator said, if you don't fire him, we're going to set fire to your city.
	And just like they said to the 12 jurors of the Chauvin case.
	If you don't convict him of murder, if you convict him only of mass murder, or God forbid acquit him, we'll burn your city down.
	And the jurors all knew that.
	The alternate juror has basically said that she knew, and that's why she didn't want to serve on the jury.
	That's not American justice.
	You know, in 1913, Oliver Wendell Holmes dissented in the Leo Frank case.
	You'll remember the Leo Frank case, the only Jew in American history.
	Ever lynched.
	In that case, it went after the Supreme Court and Justice Holmes issued a very, very important decision in which he said, I have grave doubts about whether or not...
	Here, I'll read it to you.
	I have very serious doubt that the petitioner has had due process of law because of the trial taking place in the presence of a hostile demonstration and seemingly dangerous crowd.
	Thought by the presiding judge to be ready for violence unless a verdict of guilty was rendered.
	He could have written the same thing, you know, 81 years later, or 108 years later, rather, about the Chauvin case.
	Look, I have no brief for Chauvin.
	What he did, putting his knee on the neck and keeping it there, especially for the last four minutes, was indefensible, in my view.
	But that doesn't mean he doesn't get a fair trial.
	It doesn't mean that Kim Potter doesn't get a fair trial.
	Due process.
	Free speech, the most fundamental liberties, are in danger.
	The ACLU is silent.
	The Larry Tribes of the world is silent.
	The radical left is silent.
	And a few liberals and genuine conservatives are the only ones who are standing up to these American values, and it's outrageous.
	The book, I want to promote it, the book is The Case Against the New Censorship by Alan Dershowitz, to whom I'm speaking.
	Protecting Free Speech from Big Tech Progressives and Universities.
	It's important to subtitle, and I want to dwell on this depending on how much time you have, but I want to dwell on the subtitle, Protecting Free Speech from Big Tech Progressives and Universities.
	I want everybody to note that you didn't write from government.
	That's right.
	It's just too easy to protect free speech from government.
	For the first 45 of my 55-year career, I probably did more First Amendment cases than any American lawyer in history.
	And I won them all!
	When you take on the government, you win your cases.
	I started out defending a movie called I Am Curious Yellow.
	I defended Hare.
	I defended the Pentagon Papers.
	I defended everybody against the government.
	And when the government does it, we win!
	Right.
	Hold on there.
	Hold on there.
	That's right.
	The problem is coming up.
	And I don't know how it can be solved.
	If anyone knows, it would be my guest.
	His book is up at DennisPrager.com.

	The conservative commentary space and the conservative activist space is not giving an inch when it has come to this nonsense of what happened in Ohio.
	It's really, really good.
	Because what would have happened five years ago is we would have had some, you know, Mitt Romney-style press release.
	Now, while the officer very well might have been justified, this is just another example.
	Of a situation gone wrong.
	Of systemic structural racism.
	And only corporate tax cuts and mass immigration.
	Drug legalization is the way to do this.
	Like some sort of weird, bizarre corporate Republican approach to this.
	Now, every single conservative commentator that I've seen has said, you know what?
	This is a knife fight.
	The police officer tried to break it up.
	He tried to intervene peacefully.
	And he saved a young black girl's life.

	Yes, yes.
	I'm only 82, so I have a few more years yet.
	That's another great subject.
	About age and energy.
	If you have your energy, it really ages just a number.
	And people perceive it that way.
	No, some do, some don't.
	People who don't like me, you know, people who are on the campaign to try to cancel me because of my defense of President Trump in the Senate, they constantly send me emails saying, I'm senile, I'm demented, I have Alzheimer's, and I always challenge them to debate the issue.
	None of them have ever accepted it.
	I so understand what you're living through.
	Alan Dershowitz's newest book, and every one of his books is important, which is rare for an author, and utterly readable.
	The Case Against the New Censorship, Protecting Free Speech from Big Tech Progressives and Universities.
	When we left, I had noted that it is worthy of note that in the subtitle of the book, Protecting Free Speech from Big Tech Progressives and Universities, we don't see government.
	And you then...
	Well pointed out, every case you had, a free speech against the government, you won.
	This is much more serious a threat, isn't it?
	It's much more serious.
	It's more serious than McCarthyism because we don't have the legal recourse against Google and Facebook.
	We don't have the legal recourse against private universities.
	We don't have the legal recourse against individual progressives.
	Who cancel.
	And there's another thing that's important, and your listeners may not appreciate this as much as some of my friends would.
	A lot of the people who are at the forefront of censorship are our friends.
	They're our friends' children.
	They're our grandchildren, our nieces, our nephews.
	You know, in McCarthyism, it was pretty easy, because Joe McCarthy was not a particularly likable guy, and it was easy to see him as an evil force.
	The people who are censoring today made them a good people.
	Justice Brandeis once said, the greatest dangers to liberty worked in people of zeal who have no understanding.
	Good intentions, but no understanding.
	And I think the new censors, the people on the hard left, think they're doing the right thing.
	And a lot of young people I know, good, decent people who are against racial discrimination, who are in favor of the environment, who are in favor of good values, don't understand the need for process.
	The need for procedures, the need for patience, the need for democratic values to get where they want to get.
	They just want to get where they want to get because they know they're right.
	And they're much harder to fight against than government.
	So, okay, the $64,000 question.
	And it didn't begin with PragerU, but, you know, there were four editorials in one year at the Wall Street Journal about our being censored.
	TikTok has just removed one of our most well-known spokespeople.
	Just removed.
	She has no more account.
	She's a young black woman who is extraordinary.
	Amalia is her name.
	It doesn't even resonate with people.
	So how do you fight if they are, well, are they really protected in doing this?
	Well, they're protected in some respects and not in others.
	I'll give you one more example.
	Some of you may have heard me say this before, but, you know, Bobby Kennedy challenged me to rebate the son of a former attorney general who's an environmental lawyer, but also a vaccine skeptic.
	And I'm not a vaccine skeptic.
	I go with the science.
	And we had this great debate, and people watched it from all over the country.
	They loved it.
	Some people changed their minds.
	Some people didn't change their minds.
	YouTube took it down.
	They didn't want anybody to think that vaccines Are a debatable issue in America, or elections are debatable issues in America.
	How do you fight back?
	Number one, you take away their special privileges under Section 230 of the Decency and Communication Act.
	They can't both decide to censor and then be exempt from any defamation or other lawsuits.
	So that's the first step.
	Section 230 has to be changed.
	Every media company has to check a box.
	Maybe you check a box saying, you will not censor, you're just a platform, anything goes.
	In which case you get the benefit of 230, or you check a box saying, no, we have the right to pick and choose, and then you don't get 230. That's one legal way of fighting back.
	The other way is to create a better mousetrap, and Rumble is trying to do that.
	They're competing with YouTube.
	They put up my debate with Kennedy.
	And, you know, people said to me, oh, you must be very happy.
	YouTube thinks you won the debate.
	I don't want to win the debate by censorship.
	I wanted to win the debate in the court of public opinion.
	I want people to hear both sides and agree with me or agree with him.
	That's what the nature of democratic open debate is.
	I don't want some kid who just graduated college or some machine making a decision that they can't hear me debating Bobby Kennedy.
	That's just so un-American and so wrong.
	And so we have to fight back.
	One of the ways I fight back is to write books and appear on shows like yours and thank God for shows like yours.
	Because you are part of the open marketplace of ideas, and you are part of the answer to the new censors.
	Yeah.
	Well, I want people to understand, well, I think my listeners do, that the threat is unique because it's coming from the private world, and that is, as you correctly point out, unprecedented since the 18th century.
	We've never had this since the 1780s.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I know.
	But even in the 1790s, when we had the Aliated Sedition Act, that was the government.
	And they were able to rescind it.
	And Jefferson pardoned all the people who were convicted under the Aliated Sedition Act.
	What is your position on vaccination passports?
	Well, I wouldn't call them vaccination passports.
	I would like to know when I go into a restaurant or a movie theater or send my kid back to university, I would like to know what their policy is on On vaccination, and if they don't require vaccination, I might take my business elsewhere.
	But the irony is that liberals want to make sure that you have ID that shows you've been vaccinated, but they don't want you to show ID to vote.
	And some conservatives take the opposite view.
	They want to show ID to vote, but not ID on vaccines.
	I'm not saying they're in consistent positions, but in general, look, I don't like passports.
	I don't like show me your papers, please.
	But I do think that there are understandable reasons why people should want to know what the policy of an institution is as far as vaccination is concerned.
	If you don't want to vaccinate, fine, but I really don't want you in my home.
	Well, we differ on that one, which is great, because I was getting worried that we might not have any differences.
	No, we have differences.
	Of course, of course.
	I know that.
	I voted for Joe Biden.
	Hey, I voted for Joe Biden.
	All right, look, Yom Kippur is coming up, and you can repent.
	That's the beauty of it.
	I have repented so many times.
	I've repented mostly my votes for...
	Barack Obama, particularly my second vote for Barack Obama, which I think I was tricked into doing, and I blame myself for doing that.
	Let me just once again thank you for all your great work.
	And please, folks, read his book for the sake of America.

	Thank you.

	I'm doing okay, I guess, in a circumstance since I'm packing as we speak.
	I've lived in Minneapolis since 1999. Love the city.
	Lots to do.
	Lots to offer.
	Great opportunity, but I'm moving.
	And I want to tell you, I can't hardly even get a U-Haul truck to get out of the city.
	The biggest truck I can get is a 15-footer because everybody is leaving.
	And they've been doing this for the last year, but this Marxist, socialist mayor that we have here in Minneapolis and the governor, they can't put the genie back in the bottle.
	They let the third precinct burn.
	That's my precinct.
	I was up during the nights and protecting my neighborhood.
	And it's just an atrocity what they've done to this city.
	It was a beautiful, great city.
	Lots of opportunity, but it's time for her to go, and I'm moving to Bella Vista, Arkansas, and I've got to go.
	Rick, my next question was going to be, are people leaving the city or are people leaving the state?
	Well, I know that they're leaving the city and moving to the rural areas.
	I know that for sure.
	That's what I was shared with today by...
	I won't mention the name of the moving truck, but I can only say that I know that they're moving out of the city.
	I don't know that they're moving out of the state for sure.
	Well, Rick, thank you so much for the call.
	I really appreciate that.

	What is going on with the Biden tax plan?
	I gotta tell you, this is about the most moronic thing I have seen in my entire career.
	I have never seen such an aggressive...
	I mean, I think you gotta go back to...
	You know, the days of the Revolutionary War and the British tyranny over our 13 colonies to find anything as ludicrous and onerous as this tax plan, Seb.

	All right, everybody.
	Once again, I know he's not on the line.
	I salute Alan Dershowitz for his courage in standing up.
	Next time I have him on, I'll ask him about the vaccine thing in length.
	Why does he care?
	If others are vaccinated, if he's vaccinated.
	This is the first time in the history of vaccinations that people taking a vaccine think that everybody else has to take it.
	I don't understand that.
	If you're vaccinated against something, the whole point is you're vaccinated against it.
	Maybe there's this lurking suspicion that the vaccine doesn't really protect you that well.
	But people wouldn't have acknowledged that about their attitude toward it.
	But it is the riddle of the day why you give a damn if others are vaccinated if you're vaccinated.
	If I'm vaccinated against yellow fever, which I have been on many occasions because I have gone to Africa very often.
	Why do I care if others have yellow fever?
	I mean, I care because I don't want them to suffer, but vis-a-vis me, I don't care.
	If you have yellow fever and I'm vaccinated, I don't get yellow fever.
	Why is that not true with COVID-19?
	Living in a strange time.
	You know, I'm very involved in classical music.

	The Arts and Science Council, which has been a main source of funding for arts and cultural groups in the Charlotte area since 1958, issued the extraordinary apology In a report examining its funding practices, the report said black and minority-focused groups have historically received far less funding from ASC,
	that's the Arts and Science Council, than, quote, white, unquote, organizations, while highlighting the steps the council has taken to alleviate these inequities.
	Quote, ASC has been complicit.
	In upholding funding practices that elevate certain cultures, creative traditions, identities, and art forms above others.
	The report drew outrage from leaders at the so-called, quote, white Western Eurocentric organizations and others who said it perpetuated the stereotype that certain art forms are only for certain people.
	Meanwhile, there was no acknowledgment in the report that people from minority groups participate in the symphony, opera, and children's theater.
	The acting president of the Charlotte Group, Krista Terrell, the black woman who commissioned the report, defended it.
	She said people who have a problem with it simply have a problem with facts.
	She wrote a blog post last week titled, The Uncomfortable Truth.
	While I knew the facts in the report were startling, I never thought I would experience so intimately the uncomfortableness, the defensiveness, and the sacredness of white people reacting to the unvarnished truth, Terrell wrote.
	Terrell, who has worked in the ASC, For nearly two decades, but took over as its acting president this year, said most of the backlash centered on a chart that showed the nine legacy institutions that received the most grant money from the council between 1991 and 2020. Of those nine,
	which include the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Opera Carolina, Children's Theater of Charlotte, and Charlotte Ballet, only one is minority run.
	The Harvey B. Gantz Center for African American Arts and Culture.
	Well, that's the new theory that Beethoven is for whites.
	Shakespeare is for whites.
	It's the opposite of what Western culture was built on.
	That greatness is greatness and universal.
	The opposite.
	Let me tell you about Nerve Renew.
	Nerve Renew is one of the few products I called the maker and asked if they would, in fact, advertise on my show.
	I have, I wouldn't say suffered, but I know real suffering.
	I can't say I've suffered, but it's been a nuisance.
	The numbness in my feet, which I was almost born with, and finally I got inserts.
	They did a great job in my, you know, alleviating a lot of this while I wore shoes.
	Then I discovered Nerve Renew.
	And long story short, nine months later, threw away the inserts.

	President Biden has formally established a commission to consider adding seats to the Supreme Court.
	Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, both appointed by a Democratic president, have opposed it, but the left is angry.
	They don't like the Supreme Court's rulings, so they want to change its composition.
	It's called court packing from when, in 1937, Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt tried and failed to do it.
	President Biden must have forgotten he once called the idea of expanding the Supreme Court a terrible, terrible mistake and boneheaded.
	And make no mistake, it is a terrible idea.
	Any politically driven effort to change the court structure will only reinforce the perception that our judicial branch is guided by politics rather than by legal principle.
	Over time, a PAC court would surely erode confidence in the rule of law, which is indispensable to governing a free people.
	I'm Carol Platt-Lebow.

	I guess we're taking a break from knife fights and China in some way, but it's not a good break.
	What is going on with the Biden tax plan?
	I gotta tell you, this is about the most moronic thing.
	I have seen in my entire career.
	I have never seen such an aggressive...
	I mean, I think you've got to go back to the days of the Revolutionary War and the British tyranny over our 13 colonies to find anything as ludicrous and onerous as this tax plan, Seb.
	My stomach turned when I saw it.
	You know, we knew.
	He was a socialist.
	We knew he would try things like this.
	But, you know, there's still a part of you.
	It's like, OK, well, you know, he's got to really want the best thing for America.
	Right.
	And this is not the best thing for America.
	This is disastrous.
	So break it down for us.
	What is this?
	What is it proposing and what would it actually result in?
	Okay, so basically he's looking at anywhere from 39% and change to 43% on capital gains taxes.
	So this means any money that you invest, if you have a business, for example, you're a small business owner, or suppose you invest in the stock market because you're saving up for your retirement, instead of it getting taxed at the current 20% level, it's going to be taxed at double that.
	Now, the administration would say, oh, don't worry, it's only going to...
	Well, look, there's a lot of small business owners that have been toiling away for 30 years that are getting ready to sell their business.
	Their business is going to be valued at more than a million dollars, so that's going to be a problem.
	Keep up with what's trending.
	I'd like to remind you about church people.
	It's a very funny Christian film.
	And it's for everybody, but I'm just noting that it's not often funny and Christian are tied into the same sentence.
	Good old, you know, evangelical humor.
	Groups have their own characteristics.
	Yet they have made this very funny film.
	Mike Mundell is the executive producer.
	And it's about a young pastor who becomes very popular.
	He's in a big megachurch, and he wants to find his passion again.
	But he gets into the middle of a big misguided...
	Anyway, I'm not going to give the plot away.
	It's very funny.
	It also is Affirming of the Gospel.
	It's called Church People, and you can stream Church People at SalemNow.com.
	A lot of great movies there.

	I'm Dennis Prager, and I was reading to you about Charlotte.
	I'm going to take your calls after that.
	So in Charlotte, they are very upset with the fact.
	Or by the fact that a lot of the funding in the arts has gone like to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which is now labeled white because that's the theory.
	Shakespeare's white, so he's for whites.
	Beethoven's white, he's for whites.
	Tell that to the Japanese, the most crazed about Beethoven in the world, or Koreans, or Chinese.
	A generation ago, the great pianists, cellists, violinists were utterly disproportionately Jews.
	Today, they're utterly disproportionately Asians.
	So, best of my knowledge, Bach was not a Jew.
	Beethoven was not a Jew.
	Bach was not Asian.
	People didn't think in the terms of what is the color of the composer.
	It takes the true primitiveness of a leftist to think that way, black or white leftist.
	And that's what's happening in Charlotte.
	Terrell, that's the black woman who's the acting director of the Arts Council, went on to rail against those who criticized her report.
	She did not identify anyone by name, but told the Charlotte Observer the backlash was, quote, solely from white cultural leaders.
	One president of a legacy organization told me, I'm all for changing inequities as it relates to access.
	But when I asked their thoughts about changing inequities related to funding, I was met with a long pause.
	So do you fund, if you're an arts council in Charlotte or anywhere else, do you fund organizations based on the color of the members?
	Or on what you believe is the excellence of the work?
	That's the simple question, isn't it?
	Do we fund basketball based on color?
	Or based on excellence?
	Why is that not a valid question?
	I applaud and share the Arts and Science Council's deep commitment to cultural equity, Rutledge said.
	That's the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, I guess, director of the Board of Directors.
	However, I worry that their labeling of the Charlotte Symphony a white, Western, Eurocentric organization in their cultural equity report could undermine that goal in perpetuating the stereotype That orchestral music is only created by and for certain people.
	That's correct!
	But remember, my friends, as reported here when it happened, the University of Pennsylvania English Department took down the long-standing painting of William Shakespeare.
	And they said, why?
	Not because he isn't the greatest writer of the English language, but because he was white European male.
	They're proud of it.
	It's the English department at an Ivy League university, the University of Pennsylvania.
	What are you going to do, right?
	Tell you what you do.
	You don't send your kid to such universities.
	That's one thing you do.
	All right, Irvington, New Jersey.
	Shakur, hello.
	Hey, how you doing?
	Okay.
	Yeah, we had tradition to your show last time.
	I just wanted to give you a thought.
	Just know that, you know, I live in New Jersey.
	I don't know if you've ever heard of North or Everton or anything like that, but as you know, they're kind of like rough areas, and I'm a delivery driver like I told you last time, and I just wanted to let you know, like, yeah, man, like, when I do my deliveries out here in, like, Edgewater and Cookside Park and stuff like that, it feels more like an escape than a job, man.
	It feels like I'm really just escaping from my own people.
	You know, like I said, I live in the hood, so it's predominantly, you know, black.
	But, yeah, it feels like I'm just escaping from them or escaping from being like them, thinking like them.
	You know, I feel mad at them that the people around me do think the way they do.
	Sometimes I feel very different.
	What prompted you to be different?
	I don't think anything prompted me to be different.
	I think I've always been this way since I was a kid.
	Right, you were born that way.
	Do your parents agree with you?
	Not all of the time, but I grew up with my dad.
	He adopted me.
	My mom, she had me at like 14. She wasn't really around.
	We have a relationship now, but my dad, he disagrees with me a lot, but he doesn't realize that he made me this way.
	Not like in a bad way, but he raised me into the person that I am now.
	I don't even think he realized that.
	I think he's just so caught up on that political stuff.
	I don't even think he really sees what's going on, but he doesn't realize he's really helped me to open my eyes and see what's going on.
	So let me ask you a question.
	If you were given the choice, the greatest problem facing American blacks is white racism or inner-city violence or lack of fathers, what would you say?
	Yeah.
	So if I was to give him the choice, I would say, dang, that's, dang.
	I mean, like, I don't know.
	Alright, fair enough.
	Anyway, God bless you.
	I gave him three choices.
	Training Now On the Charlie Kirk Show.
	Joy Reid, who's really special, she's defending, she's more concerned about the white officer and doesn't actually care about the lives of the other girl.
	Cut 99. I don't know the details of what happened beforehand, but I'm...
	Bothered that no one is asking what could have scared a 16 year old girl enough that she felt she had to grab a kitchen knife facing two adult women.
	Right?
	No one's asking what would have scared a kid who's in a foster situation so much that she felt that she needed to defend herself or pick up a knife.
	No one's asking that about her.
	They're just saying people with this sort of concern trolling pretending they care so much about those other two women.
	And Brittany pointed that on social media last night.
	Do we really think these people are so concerned about those other two black women?
	Well, Joy Reid, are you trying to say that there might be structural family problems in the black community?
	I'm happy to have that robust discussion with you.
	Are you actually trying to say that there might be dysfunction and that the police officer was invited into this situation?
	But what if I told you that on the same day in the same state, a 13-year-old was killed by another 13-year-old with a knife?
	That's right.
	Knife attacks.
	Are increasing dramatically in our country right now.
	Maybe it's because LeBron James glamorizes it.
	LeBron James acts as if knife fights are part of the historic fabric of the black community.
	Jazz music and knife fights is what LeBron James would say.
	That's what really makes the black community special.
	It's ridiculous.

	Final segment of today's show.
	Tonight, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, will be speaking to Those in the nation who will watch it.
	It is my job to watch it.
	I can't say that I would if it were not my job.
	It's an interesting question, since I so care about my country, why would I not watch it?
	I will, as I keep saying.
	In fact, I will not only watch it, I will read it.
	Which is actually, in some ways, more important.
	And then I mark it up, and then I play highlights or lowlights for you the next day, which is what I'll do tomorrow.
	So I ask myself, Dennis, if you weren't a talk show host and professionally obligated to comment on this speech, why wouldn't you watch it as a concerned citizen?
	It's a very good challenge, by the way.
	I'm being completely transparent with you.
	I don't have a good answer to that.
	Am I morally obligated as a concerned citizen to watch the President of the United States deliver what, if not labeled such, is his State of the Union address?
	My immediate answer is, I know what he will say.
	Two, it's too painful to watch.
	I'm so open with you that I sometimes wonder if it's a good idea, but I long ago decided to be that way in public.
	It is, it's just too painful.
	To hear more Crapping on the greatest country ever invented, by the President of the United States, no less, is not something I ache to do.
	To hear lies about the systemic racist nature of this country is, with no refutation, well, theoretically there will be afterwards, to hear about how $6 trillion According to the Wall Street Journal, it is being demanded six trillion more dollars.
	All the trillions have they worked, all the trillions in government projects.
	How much good have they done?
	And this is worse.
	This is all for political stuff.
	Funding solar panels and the like.
	So that's the reason I wouldn't watch it.
	I'm not telling you not to.
	But I will tell you to please listen in when I analyze it.
	What he says as President of the United States will affect all of us.
	So I will bring those important ones to you.
	That's my night tonight.
	Wish me luck.
