	Thank you.
	A good Monday to you.
	And as always, I hope you had a good weekend.
	From the looks of traffic in at least Southern California, it seems that people are getting out.
	I still see the overwhelming majority of people wearing masks outdoors.
	And my heart sinks.
	Totally honest with you.
	See, my fellow Americans engage in spectacularly irrational activity.
	It does not make me happy.
	What can I tell you?
	I expect...
	And I'm the guy who doesn't have expectations.
	I guess I did.
	Isn't that funny?
	I blew my own rule of never having expectations.
	One of the basic ideas of my book on happiness.
	That way you can never be disappointed, only pleasantly surprised.
	So I now realize what happened.
	I expected most Americans to be rational.
	And I was wrong.
	And it's not meant even to insult anybody.
	It's not a compliment, but the intention is not to hurt anyone's feelings.
	It's to state a fact.
	It is a spectacular act of irrationality, and it is spectacularly antisocial to hide your face for no good reason.
	Okay, that's it.
	So I have been making this announcement for quite some time, and I continue, especially now when at least half the people walking around masked have been vaccinated.
	So is there anything that the CDC could say that an American might say, gee, that...
	That really is bizarre.
	It's not bizarre that if you're vaccinated, you should wear a mask?
	That's not bizarre?
	I'm trying to come up with a more bizarre dictate from the corrupt disease control group.
	That's what CDC is, unfortunately.
	Huh?
	No.
	Corrupt disease control.
	The C is for corrupt.
	I've never said this before.
	Never.
	Never.
	It's been a darkening and illuminating year at the same time.
	The vaccine is 100% safe and hydroxychloroquine is dangerous.
	I'm supposed to believe that.
	See, had they told the truth about hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, Zinc, and so on.
	I would believe them about other things.
	But when people lie to you on a very, very, very, very big issue that meant hundreds of thousands of deaths, probably, not certainly, probably, then they have lost all credibility with me.
	And so you understand the genesis of my skepticism of anything the CDC announces.
	Anything.
	This is now simply...
	more straws on the camel's back that you shouldn't uncover your face in public there is someone we're working with right now who is vaccinated and is wearing a mask because he's been and I don't blame him, he could get fired but Why is that?
	Really?
	Why is that?
	When I see someone without a mask, I'm so tempted to go over it.
	Thank you for not wearing a mask.
	You're restoring my faith in humanity.
	Not even humanity is in the American people.
	All right, everybody.
	I have good news.
	I'm not kidding.
	I want to share with you good news.
	It's from Texas, not surprisingly.
	Oh, yes.
	As I look through my pile here, I realize we do definitely need good news.
	Now, why will it be the last sheet?
	Is that a rule?
	Yeah, it is a rule in life that when you're looking for a paper, it's the last.
	However, when you look for the last, it's second.
	Daily Mail, May 3rd, 2021. Candidates opposed to teaching critical race theory in the classroom have swept a local school board election in Texas following a bitterly contested campaign that saw passions rise on both sides.
	In Saturday's election in Southlake, candidates opposed to the new curriculum won the two open seats on the Carroll Independent School District Board, And here's my favorite word after the word won.
	Overwhelmingly.
	With nearly 70% of the vote.
	My friends, there is so much to be learned from this that this should give you both insight and encouragement.
	Parents packed school board meetings to oppose the plan, arguing it would create diversity police and discriminate against white children.
	Some even pulled their kids out of the district, and one mother sued, pausing the plan's implementation.
	By the way, there is another major argument that those of you who are confronted with the 1619 curriculum must offer.
	It's a lie.
	And you bring in the liberal anti-Trump historians.
	I don't even bring them in physically.
	You cite them as evidence that it is a lie.
	We're teaching our children not only to hate their country, but a lie.
	That's very important.
	This is not education.
	This is indoctrination.
	70% of the vote.
	They're very surprised when we fight back.
	Because we never fight back.
	It's so rare.
	The reason for Donald Trump's popularity was he fought back.
	He didn't do it in a sophisticated rhetorical manner.
	But he did it.
	Parents packed.
	I got that.
	In Saturday's election, the result was a landslide with candidates backed by the conservative Southlake Families Pack winning every race by a nearly 40-point margin.
	A 40-point margin.
	What does that mean?
	So that would mean, let's see, 60-40 is a 20-point margin, 70-30.
	That's a 40-point margin.
	Nothing wins 70-30.
	Can't get the earth is round 70-30 vote in America today.
	In addition to the two seats up for election on the school board, conservative candidates swept the elections for mayor and two open city council seats.
	Voter turnout for the election shattered participation records for a local race in South Lake.
	I told you I had good news.
	I was not.
	Sarcastic.
	The lesson?
	Fight.
	Fight for this country.
	Fight for truth.
	Fight for racial integration.
	Fight for the belief that race doesn't mean a damn thing.
	Get that?
	Doesn't mean a damn thing.
	Your color is not important.
	Get it?
	That's the only way in which a multiracial society can function.
	Your race, your color is irrelevant.
	If you think it's important to you, then you live as a loser.
	It's not important.
	Get it?
	Was it important in the past in a bad way?
	It certainly was.
	But we're not living in the past.
	How's that?
	Hey!
	When did Vogue Magazine lose its mind?
	A long time ago.
	Remember they wrote that beautiful piece on the Assad family and then deleted it from the internet?
	When Assad started exterminating his own people?
	Oh, it's a beautiful wife, he does.
	He personally is an ophthalmologist.
	Is he an ophthalmologist or is he an optometrist?
	I don't remember.
	And he studied in England.
	Oh, he's a man of the future.
	He's a beautiful middle-class family with beautiful kids.
	That was the Vogue magazine article on Assad.
	And then he used, what was it, poison gas?
	On his own people.
	And then he deleted the article.
	Vogue magazine is run by moral idiots.
	Vogue magazine says having a baby is environmental vandalism.
	You know, there is an upside to this.
	The more on the left that think that having a baby is environmental vandalism, that you're robbing the environment of health, the better.
	Trending now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	Some of us that are conservatives have hoped, I think it was a false hope, that at some point the left was going to stop.
	At some point they were going to say, you know what, maybe we've gone too far.
	No, this is just the beginning of their plans.
	This is just the very start of what they plan to do to our nation and to our country.
	And Donald Trump I think only accelerated a lot of their radicalism.
	You see, what they used to hide, what they used to pretend did not exist, they now lead with.
	They now say the private part out loud because they know the media will not hold them accountable.
	A great example of this is the Washington Post has now completely disbanded their fact-checking division.
	Who needs fact-checking when the Ministry of Truth has taken over the presidency?
	Where all they did was fact-check.
	Donald Trump's presidency.
	And most of those fact checks were basically critiques of nuance and context.
	They were not things that actually were necessary for massive front page fact checking.
	But they've disbanded their fact checking division because who needs to fact check Joe Biden?
	He's who they want to be put in place.
	But here's the thing that I think that we need to focus on the most, which is every single conservative in the country.
	And I'm just going to start doing this right after, you know, right after, I'd say late May, early June, which is every single conservative in the country needs to start showing up to these school board meetings.
	I think we have the tape here of this group of teachers that showed up, not teachers, this group of parents in Vail, Arizona.
	They just showed up to a random school board meeting and took over the school board.
	They fired the school board and they said, we're in charge now.

	We can continue to have faith and keep hoping that things are going to work out and that somewhere, somewhere there's a all seeing apparatus that will that will do right.
	It's the wrong.
	It's the wrong.
	But it's not no one saying just sit around and have faith and hope things work out.
	We have to be engaged.
	There's no question, Jacob.
	But there's no either or.
	You can't sit on the sidelines anymore, Jacob.
	You've got to be involved.
	And incidentally, I'm honored to have you listening to the show, and I appreciate very much your kind and supportive words.
	I don't mean just sit around and just hope good things happen.
	You gotta be sure that you're engaged in a voting registration process.
	You gotta campaign for politicians.
	You gotta volunteer at your local Republican headquarters.

	Trending now on the Larry Elder Show.
	From colleges to corporations to our culture, people are making money and gaining power by pretending we haven't made any progress at all.
	By doubling down on the divisions, we've worked so hard to heal.
	You know this stuff is wrong.
	Hear me clearly.
	America is not a racist country.
	Okay, the man is being slammed for saying America is not a racist country.
	Kamu Bell says, you know, it depends on how you define racism.
	Here's how he defines racism.
	I define that as a country that is built on racism.
	So yes, I believe America is a racist country because it literally is built on and runs on racism.
	America is built on racism and runs on racism.
	Sort of the pet Want to remind
	you that I will be going to Israel with you in in October There's a Stand with Israel banner.
	This last year should have very strongly taught you, take in life while you can.
	One never knows what will happen the next day.
	That's the banner is on now.
	At DennisPrager.com, the Stand with Israel banner.
	I will be going with you.
	I'm going to take a call here because you'll see why, I think.
	Steve, Palmdale, California.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	I'm sorry?
	Can you hear me?
	I'm sorry.
	Now I can, yes.
	Hi.
	I work at a place where masks are required.
	I shop at places where masks are required.
	And sometimes it's just easier for me to wear the mask while I'm driving to the place so that I can walk right in.
	I don't always wear a mask when I drive, but sometimes I do.
	And pardon me for not validating what you need.
	Validating what I need?
	Is that what you said?
	I missed the word.
	Yes.
	Because you were talking about seeing people in...
	Right.
	I think American society needs it.
	I am irrelevant.
	Okay.
	Well, as long as I'm required to wear a mask at these places...
	Yeah.
	So because it's convenient, you will show the world that you're wearing a mask outdoors and in your car where it's completely unnecessary.
	That tiny effort of putting it on, which takes approximately 12 seconds, is too much for you to make a statement that you're not a sheep.
	I'm sorry you see it that way, Dennis.
	Goodbye.
	So, there's nothing one can do when that's the way it ends.
	I'm sorry that's the way you see it.
	I've had a battle all of my life, since I was a child, that when I confronted irrationality, my hope for humans' future my hope for humans' future took a hit.
	I have so no problem with saying, yeah, you're right, I'm wrong.
	Just tell me rationally why I'm wrong.
	That's the way you see it.
	Okay.
	Look, I'm glad he called because there is no possible rational answer to why people wear masks outdoors.
	I don't think there's a rational answer for wearing it indoors, especially if you're vaccinated.
	It shows the vaccine is somewhat dubious in its impact.
	I mean, the people who make it.
	It's the first time in the history of vaccines that people say wear a mask after being vaccinated.
	Is that correct?
	That doesn't trouble any of you?
	My suspicion is it doesn't trouble most Americans.
	But I am troubled.
	All right, y'all.
	Psychiatry confronts its racist past and tries to make amends.
	All of my life, the American Psychiatric Association has been a moral idiocy.
	At some point, do you not awaken to a fact that the better the person is educated, the more stupid?
	In other words, by stupid I mean, not that they don't have brain matter.
	They have brain matter.
	You can't not have brain matter to get a PhD or an MD. But you think less clearly and you become a worse person.
	I had that just this past weekend in Dallas.
	I was talking to, I don't remember, I wish I remembered the couple.
	But I was talking to some people.
	Told me about their daughter, raised in a Christian home, and was, until high school, through high school, a delight, just a delightful young woman, very pretty, very charming, happy, went to college, and became angry.
	Became ungrateful, of course contemptuous of God and religion.
	And they noted that she considered that looking pretty was a white, middle-class value.
	And she completely abandoned taking care of herself in terms of how she looks.
	And so I said, did she get married?
	Yes.
	And they said, the guy's a total loser.
	And that's her life.
	College made her a much unhappier and worse human being.
	To be happy and healthy is unwoke, my friends.
	You have to be angry like Charles Blow.
	Charles Blow is the standard.
	He's a New York Times columnist who hates the country and who hates truth.
	He is an incendiary device.
	Charles M. Blow.
	Charles M. Blow would like to come on the show.
	More than happy to have him.
	I only make this invitation so you'll know when I get periodically.
	How come you don't have anybody on the left?
	Because they never debate.
	They never debate.
	Get it?
	They just smear.
	That is what the left has always done.
	From Lenin to Blow, from Lenin to the New York Times, they don't debate, they smear.
	One of the worst is the American Psychiatric Association.
	I remember years ago when they refused to come out against putting Soviet dissidents in psychiatric wards.
	Remember, those who don't fight evil, fight those who fight evil.
	So the American Psychiatric Association fought the anti-communists, not the communists.
	Their moral record is despicable.
	It's the most left-wing of all the medical professions.
	I don't know why.
	I don't know why.
	American Psychiatric Association is synonymous with moral idiocy.
	So the latest is...
	This is the New York Times.
	Psychiatry confronts its racist past and tries to make amends.
	Did you know that Dr. Rush, Benjamin Rush, the great 18th century doctor, that they had his picture up until a few years ago?
	Because they found that he made racist comments in the 1700s.
	I'll tell you about the APA when we return.
	This is Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com for Town Hall.
	Why would a high-ranking American diplomat alert an Iranian government official about Israeli covert actions?
	In a leaked recording between Mohammad Javad Zarif and a political ally, the foreign minister revealed that John Kerry personally informed him that Israel was behind over 200 attacks on its military forces and proxies in Syria.
	Zarif professed astonishment at Kerry's tip-off.
	No doubt the Israelis are astonished at this as well, and all Americans should feel the same way.
	After years of unfounded accusations about Republican collusion with Russia, we now hear of a prominent member of two Democratic administrations sharing intelligence about our allies' covert operations with a regime that regularly holds Death to America rallies in its capital.
	The Biden administration needs to explain Kerry's actions immediately, especially while pursuing pointless negotiations with the puppet government in Tehran I'm Ed Morrissey.

	This is why we're fighting for the soul of America.
	You should be able to share ideas without fear of being fired from your job or shouted down.
	You are not to be heard.

	You have the right to remain silent.
	Judge Thomas, you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to help you guys.
	I do.
	I was under a constant attack.
	You're not really black because you're not doing what we expect black people to do.
	We know exactly what's going on here.

	The lockdowns actually have the opposite of the intended purpose.
	So wouldn't it be better to have restaurants go every other table, outdoor dining, and trust the business owners to be able to handle this appropriately?
	And Ron DeSantis said yes.
	When there is no vision, the people perish.
	That's actually a proverb.
	And many of these other states had no vision at all whatsoever, no leadership.
	I'm going to say something very provocative that I know is going to get written up on all the Media Matters websites because it's true.
	Ron DeSantis is more of a president of this nation than Joe Biden.
	Ron DeSantis, I think our...
	Thank you.
	Ron DeSantis has led the nation in reopening.
	This is why, and we were just talking about this last night, we are far surpassing all these economic projections because the reopening is happening quicker than people could possibly imagine.
	It's because of one man, and I'm not discounting the other states that opened alongside of it, but I want you to put yourself in Ron DeSantis' shoes.
	Florida's a battleground state.
	Florida's a state that...
	Had a lot of consequential congressional races.
	There was pressure on Ron DeSantis.
	Hey, are you going to bring home Florida for Trump?
	Now, by the way, Governor Ducey, as we're here live on AM 960, The Answer in Arizona, and Governor Kemp in Georgia, they didn't deliver Georgia and Arizona for Trump.
	In fact, they didn't deliver one Republican Senate seat for Republicans.
	Ron DeSantis had a lot of pressure, and he could have done the safe and easy thing.
	So that Ron DeSantis said, we are reopening, and he got rewarded for that.
	Trump won by 400,000 votes in Florida, more than any other Republican in recent memory.
	Maybe people right now are waiting for bold and courageous leadership, not just milk toast, vanilla pandering.

	American Psychiatric Association.
	As morally undistinguished a group as exists in America and has been so all of my life.
	I have always recommended psychiatry because when you've got a good psychiatrist, you can be helped.
	We have Dr. Stephen Marmer give courses for PragerU.
	Been on the Happiness Hour probably a dozen times.
	He teaches psychiatry at UCLA Medical School.
	And he is one of those who told me that about a quarter of the therapists are competent.
	That's about right.
	Three-quarters of psychiatrists are fools.
	I'm sorry.
	I am.
	This weekend, the APA is devoting its annual meeting to the theme of equity.
	That's a courageous thing to do.
	The psychiatrists of America are devoting their conference to equity.
	Wow!
	That takes courage, guys.
	Over the course of the three-day virtual gathering of as many as 10,000 participants, the group will promote the results of its year-long effort to educate its 37,000 mostly white members about the psychologically toxic effects of racism, both mostly white members about the psychologically toxic effects of racism, both in their profession and in the lives of their Mm-hmm.
	Okay.
	Mm-hmm.
	Critics operating both inside and outside the APA say that it still must overcome high hurdles to truly address its issues around racial equity, including the diagnostic biases, the enduring lack of black psychiatrists, black doctors, Black is capitalized in the New York Times.
	White is not.
	Neither should be capitalized.
	It's only a color.
	And a payment structure that tends to exclude people who can't afford to pay out of pocket for services.
	You know why?
	Because the psychiatrists don't take Medicaid or Medicare.
	These noble guys want to serve the public.
	Don't want to get paid so little.
	But I'll bet you they're all for single payer.
	That's because they've exempted themselves from single payments.
	Get it?
	The Dishonesty at the Heart of American Psychiatry is reminiscent of the Dishonesty at the Heart of Soviet Psychiatry.
	They all add up, she said.
	Oh, no, not finished.
	Here we go.
	This was now Dr. Ruth Shim, Director of Cultural Psychiatry.
	What does that mean?
	And professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of California, Davis.
	She left the APA in frustration last summer.
	She said, all these procedural structures that are in place are helping to perpetuate the system and keep the system functioning the way it was designed to function.
	None of that means anything.
	But here's my favorite line.
	This was worth reading the whole boring article.
	They all add up, she said, to an dash crisis in psychiatry.
	So I'm looking at my producer, a very bright man.
	What adjective is now the favorite adjective?
	Of the left about any crisis.
	It is an...
	Well, I'll give you a hint.
	Global warming is an dash crisis.
	Existential.
	Everything is an existential.
	This is the best.
	It's an existential crisis in psychiatry.
	Maybe that's a good thing.
	Maybe psychiatry should cease existing at this time and reformulate itself as an honest profession.
	Who knew?
	But that's it.
	Just so you'll know, it's an existential crisis in psychiatry.
	Truth is, anything the left touches does become existentially threatened.
	That's the irony.
	The left is in existential crisis for education, for medicine, for America, for the military, for religion.

	But look, let's be honest.
	The Republican Party and the Democratic Party have changed so dramatically.
	I mean, when you talk about the choice between a Nixon and a Humphrey or a McGovern, I don't think there's anything comparable today.
	The party has lurched so far left.
	I mean, Joe Biden is a husk.
	I don't know who is controlling the nation.
	But if Joe Biden...
	30 years ago were president, it would actually be a moderate Democrat.
	What we have now is so far left that I can't imagine that most Democrats who really understand what is going on would be for what's happening.
	Well look, there was a vote the other day in the Senate and the Republicans tried to add an amendment saying that any university that discriminates in admissions against Asian Americans We'll use, lose funding.
	Every single Democrat voted against that because it was seen as somehow anti-black.
	I don't understand how being for Asian Americans is anti-black, but every single American Democrat voted against that and it lost by one by one vote.
	How can you vote against a law that says you can't discriminate?
	Against Asian Americans.
	We have such a long history of discriminating against Asian Americans.
	There are now lawsuits involving Yale and Harvard and Princeton who are accused of discriminating in admission policy against Asians in order to raise the number of African Americans.
	They deny that there's a quota system, but if it ever, ever got below 13%, they'd be held to pay.
	If that's not a quota, I don't know what is.

	What we are seeing...
	in some cases, refugees who are leaving tyranny and big government, they're tired of what's happening in California, in Washington, Oregon, even Colorado, and they're seeking more freedom.
	Do we have her saying she'd be more in danger if she called 911?
	I don't know if it's -- there's another image of it.
	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	There is quite a story out of Cypress College in California.
	Who's there reporting this?
	Where are we looking at here?
	Fox News.
	California Cypress College professor on leave of absence after claiming police aren't heroes.
	This was a Zoom call.
	You should Zoom.
	Everything should be recorded with regard to college teachers.
	For that matter, in any class, I don't understand why...
	No, I take that back because it was not a truth that I told you.
	I do understand.
	Teachers who object to being recorded are afraid that adults might hear what they have to say and find that they are lying and indoctrinating students.
	I taught at college.
	In the era of cassettes, kids would bring cassette recorders to class.
	I remember one sweet kid said to me, is it okay, Mr. Prager, if I record the class?
	And I remember my answer.
	Why not?
	Why would I object?
	Why would I not want people outside of the class to hear what I say inside the class?
	I wish the whole world heard what I said inside the class.
	I thought that I was a very serious teacher.
	I taught Jewish history and Russian history at Brooklyn College while I was at the graduate school and a little afterwards.
	I wasn't embarrassed to have adults hear what I said in class that proves your kids' teachers are indoctrinators and not educators, that they are so afraid.
	To have anybody over 15 or over 22 hear what they have to say.
	So this student did record the professor.
	So let's play what it is.
	There will be three voices.
	The professor is the female, the student Zoomer, and another student who agrees with the female professor.
	That cops are scum.
	...a few times.
	So what is your main concern?
	Since, I mean, honestly, the whole reason police...
	I mean, it is systemic.
	The issue is systemic because the whole reason we have...
	Police departments in the first place?
	Where did it stem from?
	What's our history, going back to what Jeremy was talking about?
	What does it stem from?
	It stems from people in the South wanting to capture runaway slaves.
	Okay, let me stop there.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	That's a new one, I've got to admit.
	It must be common, I'm sure of it.
	So if it weren't for capturing runaway slaves, there would be no police in America.
	Why are there police everywhere on earth?
	Why does Israel have police?
	For the runaway slaves from Egypt?
	Is there a country on earth without police?
	No, no.
	Who doesn't have police?
	There's a biblical injunction you're supposed to have police and magistrates.
	It's in Deuteronomy.
	We have police because of runaway slaves.
	Other than that, there's no crime in America.
	Isn't that beautiful?
	This teacher thinks that she is intelligent.
	That she's a truth teller.
	This is the stuff, this is the rare time we're getting a recording of what the teachers tell your kids.
	You're playing with fire sending your child to college.
	Or now high school.
	Unless you know the high school or unless you homeschool.
	Go ahead, please.
	It stems from people in the South wanting to capture runaway slaves.
	Maybe they shouldn't be heroes.
	Maybe they don't belong on a kids' show.
	So I disagree with what Jeremy said about it.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	So that, they shouldn't be heroes, they shouldn't be on kids' shows, is the left-wing student.
	Okay, go ahead.
	All of them?
	Wait, wait, wait, go back.
	This is amazing, the level of argument.
	So I disagree with what Jeremy said about it, because I think cops are heroes, and they have to have a difficult job, but we have to have that fine life.
	I mean, I'd say a good majority of them.
	You have bad people in every business and every part.
	A lot of police officers have committed atrocious crimes and have gotten away with it and have never been convicted of any of it.
	And I think for the person who has family members, who are police officers?
	Yes, I understand.
	And this is what I believe.
	This is my opinion.
	And this is, you know, not popular to say, but...
	I do support our police, and we have bad people, and the people that do bad things should be brought to justice.
	I agree with that.
	But I think that...
	Say it again.
	They haven't.
	Well, I agree with you on that point of they should, right?
	So what is your bottom line point?
	You're saying police officers should be revered, viewed as heroes?
	They belong on TV shows with children.
	I think they are heroes in a sense because they come to your need and they come and help you and they have a problem just like every other business but we should fix that.
	But I think that they're heroes.
	I think that's the problem is looking at it as a business because they're actually supposed to protect and serve the people.
	They do protect us.
	Who do we call when we're in trouble and someone has a knife or a gun?
	I wouldn't call the police.
	Why wouldn't you call the police?
	I don't trust them.
	My life's in more danger.
	Who would you call?
	Professor, who would you call?
	I wouldn't call anybody.
	Well, if someone intruded your house with a gun, would you have a gun on you?
	No.
	Who would you call?
	It's my time to go.
	Okay.
	There's not much you can do at that point.
	Calling the police is kind of just, you know.
	And I know that it's not popular for me to say that to you guys.
	She wouldn't call the police.
	She wouldn't call the police.
	She wouldn't call the police.
	And all Americans should feel the same way.
	After years of unfounded accusations about Republican collusion with Russia, we now hear of a prominent member of two Democratic administrations sharing intelligence about our allies' covert operations with a regime that regularly holds Death to America rallies in its capital.
	The Biden administration needs to explain Kerry's actions immediately, especially while pursuing pointless negotiations with the puppet government in Tehran.

	He's really trying to bring the country together.
	It was a make America feel good night.

	No, that's what you thought.

	Keep up.
	Talk about systemic on the left.
	It is moral and intellectual chaos.
	This professor was telling the student that you just heard, having been recorded, which every one of you should be doing, all of you should encourage your children at schools to record the Zoom conferences.
	They can turn it off if other students...
	I know they say, well, it's not...
	What about privacy of other students?
	Okay, fine.
	Just the teacher.
	I'm just interested in having people understand what teachers are saying.
	You're paying a lot of money in taxes, or you're paying a lot of money in taxes plus tuition.
	You should know what your child is hearing.
	Is that not a fair statement?
	So he asked her, since she's so antipathetic to police, If somebody attacked your home with a gun, would you call the police?
	No.
	I would be in greater danger from the police.
	Now, what kind of mentality comes up with that?
	That's what I would like to know.
	Here's a question.
	If she was on campus and a shooter was on campus slaughtering students, would she call the police then?
	What do you think?
	By the way, I think she's lying.
	Of course she'd call the police, even if it was just at home.
	But the truth is not a left-wing value.
	And if you record your teachers...
	In most cases, you will find that out.
	I'd say the percentage of quality teachers today is equivalent to the percentage of bad cops.
	I'm not talking about in rural areas, but in metropolitan areas and at our colleges.
	Teachers who are actually just committed, and I know some, They exist.
	They're quiet.
	They won't fight.
	People are not fighters.
	So, I understand that.
	But to say with a straight face that if you were being attacked in your home, you wouldn't call the police?
	And then to be taken seriously?
	That's asking a lot.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	And all Americans should feel the same way.

	We haven't had inflation in so long.
	You're not old enough to have bought a house at 12.5% or 13% 30-year interest like I did when my wife and I bought our first house in 1985. But it is not a good thing.
	Inflation is a destroyer of lives.
	Well, there's a number of compounding factors here as well.
	Not only all the money is being printed, but if you look at the CPI numbers that came out in February, half of the inflationary pressures were energy-related.
	And so when you combine the massive spending, Plus, the Green New Deal that's going to put pressure here on oil, natural gas, just energy prices in general.

	Ron DeSantis has led the nation in reopening.
	This is why, and we were just talking about this last night, we are far surpassing all these economic projections because the reopening is happening quicker than people could have possibly imagined.
	It's because of one man, and I'm not discounting the other states that opened alongside of it, but I want you to put yourself in Ron DeSantis' shoes.

	Hi everybody, the TSA announced and welcome to the show.
	Hope you had a good weekend.
	I said that the first hour, but why not repeat it?
	TSA has now extended the time of mask wearing at airports and in airplanes through September.
	It was supposed to expire, what, this week or next week?
	Big danger, as you know, on airplanes.
	It's an amazing thing that people believe this.
	When you're eating on the plane or drinking, you don't have to wear a mask.
	So the virus, it's an amazing virus.
	It stops spreading when you eat.
	It's unique in the history of virology.
	Did you realize that?
	You've been forced to, as have I. Both of us have been flying a lot.
	I'm in Cleveland this weekend, and then Hawaii was just in Dallas.
	It's like the old days, except that the masks.
	What I try to do, of course, is drink and eat the entire time I'm on a plane, or at least appear to do so.
	And I would say that my batting average is very high.
	There are some neurotic flight attendants.
	But by and large, they know it's a farce.
	I know it's a farce.
	And so, eating and drinking, you're exempted.
	So, of course, we live in the age of abundance of caution.
	That's it.
	Abundance of caution.
	People are not mature enough to ask, what price do you pay for all your caution?
	That's the question that is unasked.
	Do you understand, my dear friends?
	That's the issue.
	Abundance of caution exacts a certain price.
	People who are very cautious about not going with me or on their own to Israel for all of my broadcast career because they want to go only when it's quote-unquote safe to go.
	So they lost out on a trip that they wanted to take.
	I don't care.
	I'm using Israel as an example because so many people want to visit and because that is considered by many to be more dangerous than a trip, let's say, to Spain.
	Caution, like everything, exacts a price.
	Asking what is the price immediately as you leave the left.
	There is no price paid for the left.
	We will take over everything.
	The government will take over as much as possible.
	There is no price.
	We'll keep printing trillions of dollars.
	There's no price to that.
	That is the left-wing mind.
	Do what you want and never ask, gee, is there a price being paid?
	Does society pay a price for that policy?

	People in Minneapolis elect Democrats.
	I feel toward Minneapolis, which I have visited at least 25 times, and have tremendous affection for.
	Let me just say this in advance.
	I do believe in Minnesota nice.
	I've been to the Minnesota State Fair more than almost anybody who lives in Minnesota.
	I have a big audience there.
	I spoke at the great orchestral hall in Minneapolis where my dear friend Manny of the Minnesota Orchestra, one of the great orchestras of the world, played the Star Spangled Banner before the event First Trumpet Minnesota Orchestra.
	So I have a tremendous affection for Minnesota.
	Plus we have a disproportionate number of donors to PragerU who are Minnesotans.
	Terrific, terrific human beings.
	Now having said that, I feel toward them as I feel toward the issue of the righteous in Sodom.
	It's an amazing debate that Abraham, the first monotheist, has with God.
	When God wants to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.
	So Abraham, and this is the greatness, one of the greatnesses of the Bible.
	The first believer in God argues with God.
	The word Israel, the name of the Jewish people, Israel, means, and this is also in the same book, Genesis, it means argue with God, fight with God, strive with God.
	Israel.
	Israel.
	El is God.
	Israel is to struggle with.
	You'll learn all that in the Rational Bible.
	Third volume is coming out this fall in September.
	Please pre-order it.
	It's Deuteronomy.
	It's as big as Genesis and Exodus and is important.
	So at Amazon you can pre-order it.
	The Rational Bible.
	And those points, of course, are made in Genesis.
	So I feel toward Minnesota, in a sense, the way the Bible depicts Sodom.
	Not Minnesota, really.
	Minneapolis.
	They elect vile people, and then their city is ruined because of the vile people who run their city.
	So, do I just believe this is just desserts?
	Or does my heart go out?
	Well, my heart goes out to the terrific people who are clearly a minority and the fools are the majority.
	Well, let me read to you what's happening in Minnesota.
	From a man called Michael Tracy.
	One year after George Floyd, Minneapolis is Murderapolis again.
	It would be foolish to not notice the comparatively minuscule attention other instances of unjust killings receive.
	If one unjust killing, Floyd, generates sustained, historic, society-altering attention, and hundreds or thousands of others generate virtually no attention, Have to reflect something about a society's cultural and political priorities.
	This is especially true in Minneapolis, where the tumult of the Floyd episode and its fallout has now lasted for nearly a full year.
	Because it simply cannot be disputed that the prevalence of unjust killing and violence in the Twin Cities area has vastly increased.
	Since last summer's protests and riots, Minneapolis recorded its second most homicides ever.
	Ever!
	In 2020. After only 1995, when the city was ignobly dubbed Murderapolis in national media.
	And the trend has continued to escalate in 2021. Between January 1st and April 25th, The number of homicides increased by 92%, that's basically doubled, compared to the same period in 2020. So wait a minute.
	If 2020 was the second most murderous year in Minneapolis history, and this year has already doubled the rate, this will be the most...
	Murders in the history of Minneapolis this year.
	Thanks to the Democrats.
	Solely thanks to Democrats.
	And people will re-elect Democrats.
	So why should my heart go out to the people of Minneapolis?
	Because there are, like in Sodom, 50 righteous...
	Well, there weren't in Sodom 50 righteous people.
	But I am torn.
	To see people get what they vote for and deserve?
	Well...

	In fact, they didn't deliver one Republican Senate seat for Republicans.

	Some of us that are conservatives have hoped, I think it was a false hope, that at some point the left was going to stop.
	At some point they were going to say, you know what, maybe we've gone too far.
	No, this is just the beginning of their plans.
	This is just the very start of what they plan to do to our nation and to our country.
	And Donald Trump, I think, only accelerated a lot of their radicalism.
	You see, what they used to hide, what they used to pretend did not exist, they now lead with.
	They now say the private part out loud because they know the media will not hold them accountable.

	Trying to hear from people in Minneapolis.
	On how you react to what I'm telling you about.
	I think it's unprecedented.
	I'm a student of history.
	I don't know any free country that has elected people to destroy itself.
	Well, you could argue that the Germans did in the 1930s, but it wasn't even a majority of Germans who voted in the Nazis.
	It was a plurality, but not a majority.
	And I'm not saying that Democrats are Nazis.
	I'm saying that Democrats are destroying the country.
	That is indisputable, because the left hates this country.
	And they love power.
	So Minneapolis is on its way to having the most murders in its history.
	And this is the city that talked about defunding the police.
	Incidentally, did you know this?
	Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of the state of Minnesota, Who is black and who is leftist?
	Quite bluntly said there was absolutely no racial element to the George Floyd killing.
	So all of the riots were over nothing.
	The event that they rioted over was not a racial event.
	This is from the Attorney General, who is a left-wing Democrat and black.
	But it doesn't matter.
	The purpose of rioting for the left is to riot.
	Truth is not a left-wing value, so it's irrelevant.
	To his credit, by the way, Keith Ellison's credit.
	I've not been a fan of his, but I have to give the man tremendous credit for this outburst of honesty.
	Minneapolis had the second most recorded homicides in 2020, and this year it's already doubled the rate of 2020.
	More than 80% of the shooting victims in 2020 were black.
	I think.
	But they claim black lives matter.
	That's a gigantic lie as well on their part.
	They don't believe black lives matter.
	They only believe black lives matter when whites kill them, which is exceedingly rare.
	The situation is roughly the same in St. Paul, which tied its all-time record for homicides in 2020.
	This year it is on pace to break that record comfortably.
	The latest homicide was Sunday night.
	A man was shot and killed outside a bar in an apparent carjacking.
	That was last Sunday night, not last night.
	And a police officer told me, he's writing, There's way more people, it seems like, with guns now than there ever has been, much less hesitation to use them.

	These officers theorize that the explanation for the crime surge is related to the city's political climate over the past year, which in their view has allowed perpetrators to wreak havoc without consequence.
	That's it.
	The American motto is, in God we trust, e pluribus unum and liberty.
	The left's motto is, wreak havoc without consequence.
	We should remember that.
	Sean, get that down as a Hall of Famer.
	The left's motto, wreak havoc without consequence.
	Rick is W-R-E-A-K. Now, am I implying that Sean would have spelled it incorrectly?
	You did know that?
	then I apologize profusely, profoundly, and professionally.
	They feel emboldened.
	And they feel untouchable, in my opinion, said the cop.
	Of course, that's exactly right.
	When you don't fear the police in a democracy, your democracy will see a lot more evil.
	You should fear God, you should fear your parents.
	I know all that.
	Oh my God, this drives people crazy.
	That's why, by the way, as now the author of a three-volume Bible commentary, I have two more volumes to go.
	I can tell you that it's very interesting that modern translations of the words fear God, they don't use the word fear.
	The translators don't like the idea that the Bible wants you to fear God, or your parents, certainly, which uses the same word.
	So it says revere.
	The translation is baloney.
	You're not commanded to revere God.
	You're commanded to fear God.
	The people who don't fear God fear COVID, fear contagion, fear Republicans, fear the New York Times, fear global warming.
	It's not like they don't have fears.
	The question is what you will.
	The more you fear God, the less you fear this other stuff.
	That's the way it works.
	It's like magic.
	It's truly an incredible development.
	How the secular and well-educated walk around more scared of life, just of life, let alone death, than the religious.
	Minneapolis cops tend to agree that the primary reason for this surge in crime is their resources have been stretched precariously thin as a result of widespread anti-police sentiment since the George Floyd episode.
	It's kind of like the wild, wild west out here, one cop told me.
	Usually a cop should take about 10 calls a day.
	I am already at like 30. So that's way overboard.
	I mean, you're going to have burnout.
	You're going to have people quitting.

	America is not a racist country.
	Okay, the man is being slammed for saying America is not a racist country.
	Kamu Bell says, you know, it depends on how you define racism.
	Here's how he defines racism.
	I define that as a country that is built on racism.
	So yes, I believe America is a racist country because it literally is built on and runs on racism.
	America is built on racism and runs on racism.
	It's sort of the petrol of America, the fuel of America.
	So his definition of racism is America was built on racism and is run on racism, whatever the hell that means.
	And the definition given by this gentleman in the Washington Post, quote, it means that we have systems and institutions referring to systemic racism.
	It means we have systems and institutions that produce racially disparate outcomes.
	Regardless of the intentions of the people who work within them, end of quote.
	So if every cop is devoid of racism, but the cops pull over more blacks than they do whites, that's systemic racism.
	Even if the cops aren't racist.
	Because the outcomes are different.

	Hi, everybody.
	I want to remind you why the left hates the police.
	which Because the police fight evil.
	And the left has always hated those who fight evil, not evil.
	They hated the anti-communists, not the communists.
	And they have a soft spot for criminals and loathe the police.

	Ron in Minneapolis, hello.
	Hey, Dennis.
	Nice to chat with you again, and thanks for the topic.
	Yep, I've been living in Minneapolis the majority of my life.
	I don't, and many people do not want to go downtown anymore in the evening hours.
	I'm looking out my office window right now and I can see the skyline.
	And I'm sad because it used to be a clean, safe, fun city.
	The police are overwhelmed.
	We have a very, very cool jazz club along with Orchestra Hall.
	People are not going down there in evening hours to enjoy the city.
	And by the way, our Attorney General is a lowlife.
	He's a hypocrite lowlife.
	A lot wrong with many other politicians here.
	So I'm really sad and I appreciate the topic.
	So explain to me how you, who live there, do you know anybody in your circle of friends or relatives that votes Democrat?
	No, because I don't hang with Democrats.
	No, no, no.
	Well, sometimes you're stuck with them because of family.
	You can get rid of friends, but you shouldn't get rid of family.
	It's the way it is in life.
	Let me take another Minneapolis call.
	Lynn in Minneapolis.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Hi.
	It's a privilege to talk to you, and yes, I agree.
	He is absolutely right, Ron.
	Hold on.
	Before you continue, are you talking on a speakerphone?
	Yeah, would you rather I get off speakerphone?
	Let me think about it.
	How about that?
	Is that better?
	It is.
	Okay, perfect.
	Thank you.
	I am a wife and mother of two retired Minneapolis police.
	My husband has been retired for 20 years, and our son...
	He went out on a medical PTSD two or three years ago.
	And that, unfortunately, he was the tip of the iceberg.
	The ones that are leaving, they're all leaving because of that.
	It's horrible down here.
	We moved down here two and a half years ago, left our house in the suburb to be able to walk around, go to the theater, go down for dinner, walk to the Twins and the Vikings games.
	It's like a war zone down here now.
	Everything is boarded up.
	There was barbed wire.
	So why will Democrats be re-elected?
	I don't know.
	It's a sea of liberals here.
	We live in a condo where there's maybe 20 people that are not Democrats.
	So we have to be...
	We have to be really careful, although the last year we're under quarantine pretty much anyway, so I guess we don't do social things anymore.
	But I don't know.
	I think it's a habit with a lot of them.
	I don't know that, truthfully, if they really thought about it.
	Are they lamenting?
	So when they see the same downtown as you do, what is their reaction?
	Well...
	This is the result of George Floyd?
	We earned it?
	Yes, yes.
	Okay, all right.
	That's really something.
	The only thing I'm certain about these people is that they're well-educated.
	The relationship between higher education and moral stupidity is very deep.

	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times has put forward a horrifyingly honest argument about abortion.
	The headline it ran was this.
	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.
	Their focus was a law passed in 2017 by the legislature in Ohio, a law that seeks to prevent abortion on the grounds that the unborn baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times is saying that it is wrong to try to protect unborn babies that are diagnosed with Down syndrome by such a law.
	Why is it wrong?
	Because, says the editorial board, it interferes with what is a greater good than human dignity in the womb.
	And that means a woman's absolute autonomy and what the paper claims is her constitutional right to destroy the life within her.
	Like I said, this editorial is honest.
	It's also horrifying.

	Turning now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	Some of us that are conservatives have hoped, I think it was a false hope, that at some point the left was going to stop.
	At some point they were going to say, you know what, maybe we've gone too far.
	No, this is just the beginning.
	of their plans.
	This is just the very start of what they planned to do to our nation and to our country.
	And Donald Trump, I think, only accelerated a lot of their radicalism.
	You see, what they used to hide, what they used to pretend did not exist, they now lead with.
	They now say the private part out loud.
	Because they know the media will not hold them accountable.
	A great example of this is the Washington Post has now completely disbanded their fact-checking division.
	division who needs fact-checking when the ministry of truth has taken over the presidency where all they did was Mario plays
	Mario plays I'm Dennis Prager, reading to you about Minneapolis, the destruction of a city.
	Thanks entirely to the Democratic Party.
	You realize, by the way, that all of the riots, the entire bedlam of the last year, was over a non-racial incident.
	This was stated by Keith Ellison, left-wing black attorney general of the state of Minnesota.
	I ought to play the...
	Let's get that.
	Let's get the audio, because it's almost...
	You think we have it somewhere, Sean?
	According to the living martyr, it is somewhere.
	I think it's tape 6-6-4-4-9-B. The Attorney General of Minnesota has actually acknowledged that the Chauvin issue, killing, had nothing to do with race.
	There's zero evidence that it was racially motivated.
	So, it doesn't matter, though.
	They were bored during COVID, and so a lot of people who have no meaning in their lives decided to protest a non-existent...
	It's not non-existent.
	There's no such thing non-existent.
	the minimal amount of systemic racism in America.
	This is a police officer.
	The identity of the jurors is one to the streets of the crime.
	The other is the most worth the murder.
	Is this a hate crime?
	I wouldn't call it that.
	Because hate crimes are crimes where there's an explicit motive of bias.
	We don't have any evidence that Derek Chauvin factored in George Floyd's race as he did what he did.
	You could have charged him with a hate crime under Minnesota law, and you chose not to.
	Could have, but we only charged those crimes that we had evidence that we could put in front of a jury to prove.
	If we'd have had a witness that told us that Derek Chauvin made a racial reference, we might have charged him with a hate crime.
	But I would have needed a witness to say that on the stand.
	We didn't have it, so we didn't do it.
	The whole world sees this as a white officer killing a black man because he is black.
	And you're telling me that there's no evidence to support that?
	In our society, there is a social norm that killing certain kinds of people is more tolerable than other kinds of people.
	In order for us to stop and pay serious attention to this case and be outraged by it, It's not necessary that Derek Chauvin has specific racial intent to harm George Floyd.
	The fact is, we know that through housing patterns, through employment, through wealth, through a whole range of other things, so often people of color, black people, end up with harsh treatment from law enforcement.
	And other folks doing the exact same thing just don't.
	If an officer doesn't throw...
	So, alright, this is all.
	I kept it.
	I didn't want you to think I wrenched anything out of context.
	The point is, there is zero evidence that this was racially motivated.
	That's what I wanted you to hear.
	Talking about Minneapolis.
	Continuing the quote from the police officer in this...
	Long, very disturbing piece.
	By...
	What is it?
	Michael Tracy?
	Is that the...
	Yeah, Michael Tracy.
	At MichaelTracy.com, I believe.
	One of us is going to get killed, and nobody cares.
	This is the police officer, and that's what's said.
	Nobody cares.
	Not the citizens, not our brass, not our administration, not our city.
	They don't care.
	They don't care one bit.
	Can you imagine thinking that?
	You're a police officer and you don't think your city cares if you die?
	The Target store, when much of the rioting first kicked off last year, is now adorned with a corporate-sponsored artistic mural that appears to glamorize the burning of the 3rd Police Precinct building located right across the street.
	You hear that?
	Did you know that?
	I didn't know that.
	Target store.
	It's adorned with a corporate-sponsored mural.
	Glamorizing the burning of the third police precinct building.
	The cop said he expects an even more concerted round of mass resignations the next time a, quote, big incident happens wherein the cops are portrayed in a negative light.
	We're getting fed up, all of us.
	And there's only a few of us left that really want to work for the city.
	We're not going to be here.
	We're going to all leave, he said.
	So this is going to get worse before it gets better.
	The Minneapolis Police Department didn't specifically track carjackings as a unique category of crime until September 2020. A retroactive analysis showed, are you ready folks, a 537% increase in carjackings in one month.
	November 2020 compared to November 2019. Five times as many.
	And that's what I wanted to read to you about Minneapolis.

	Joe in Minneapolis, hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Hi.
	I don't have as much faith in Keith Ellison, I think, as you've expressed regarding His concession here about this not being raised.
	Where was his voice a year ago when Black Lives Matter was the only voice that we saw in our local media here in Minnesota?
	And at a time when Ellison, I think, saw through that there was just a few seconds, you know, maybe a minute or something, of that video of Derek Chauvin with his knee on George Floyd.
	They knew so much more long before they showed the rest of us.
	And here, a year later now, he's saying that race wasn't a factor.
	Oh, you have a lot of reasons to be annoyed with him.
	All I wanted is people to know that even Keith Ellison said there's no evidence that it was racially motivated.

	Nobody wants to go to Cuba.
	Nobody wants to go to Russia.
	We are still the most popular country in terms of immigration in the world and will continue to be so.

	Ben in Denver, hello.
	St. Paul's.
	So, I'm trying to learn to be a man of courage and not one that just supports people with courage.
	I have an adopted daughter at the public school that she's at.
	Outdoors, I didn't wear a mask last week, and the teachers asked me to, and I politely said no, and ultimately the principal came out and said, who's your daughter?
	It's a different subject than what you had, but I was trying to see if that's something that somebody should fight for outdoors, not wearing a mask, Dennis.
	The principal emailed me.
	Forgive me, I didn't understand.
	What were you doing outdoors at school?
	Picking up my daughter after school out on the playground, outdoors.
	You're kidding me.
	Picking up your daughter?
	They intervened with you for not wearing a mask?
	Yes, in Denver.
	And they said, sir, you have to wear it.
	Teacher said twice you have to.
	And I said, well, I'll pass.
	I've been vaccinated three weeks ago.
	So I'm not a carrier, for sure.
	And then the principal.
	So go on.
	When the principal comes out, I think the teachers alerted her and said, who's your daughter?
	And when my daughter did come, I gave her a big giant hug.
	She's an African American.
	I'm Caucasian.
	We've adopted kids.
	Daddy.
	But I found the principal, recognized my daughter because I got a personal email when I got home.
	And she said, we have a policy of wearing masks here.
	And I said, well, I'm a taxpayer, ma'am, and I kind of own...
	Well, what I would do is say, do you believe the policy makes sense, dear principal, in light of the fact that I'm vaccinated?
	Well said, Dennis.
	It took me an hour to calm down after I left, so I'm learning to be courageous.
	Well, you are.
	I salute you.
	And I'm a big fan of adoption, so God bless you.
	People who say it's the policy scare me.
	Do you know that?
	If they'd say, you know what, it's the policy and I think it's idiotic, I can actually live with that.
	But if they just say that's the policy, that's a very scary thing for me in the light of what I saw in the 20th century back in the moment.
	This is Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com for Town Hall.
	Why would a high-ranking American diplomat alert an Iranian government official about Israeli covert actions?
	In a leaked recording between Mohammad Javad Zarif and a political ally, the foreign minister revealed that John Kerry personally informed him that Israel was behind over 200 attacks on its military forces and proxies in Syria.
	Zarif professed astonishment at Kerry's tip-off.
	No doubt the Israelis are astonished at this as well, And all Americans should feel the same way.
	After years of unfounded accusations about Republican collusion with Russia, we now hear of a prominent member of two Democratic administrations sharing intelligence about our allies' covert operations with a regime that regularly holds Death to America rallies in its capital.
	The Biden administration needs to explain Kerry's actions immediately, especially while pursuing pointless negotiations with the puppet government in Tehran.

	It's really beautiful.
	I mean, it was beautiful.
	He's developing a kind of positive populism.
	He also talked about the soul of America, and that was so passionate when he talked about the injustice, the knee of injustice is on the neck of black America.
	His connections to the people in this room, I'm not even sure if all of them are deserving.
	But he does not care.
	He gives to them the benefit of the doubt.
	And his voice, that kind of grandfatherly, whispery voice, and the fact that it actually wasn't a big raucous crowd, let that intimacy really land.
	Every single sentence had a very clear point to it, and every line of it had that Biden humility in it.
	He's really trying to bring the country together.

	In fact, it was Jesus in aviator glasses.

	It was intimate, grandfatherly, indeed Rooseveltian.

	You're not old enough to buy a house at 12.5% or 13% 30-year interest like I did when my wife and I bought our first house in 1985. But it is not a good thing.
	Inflation is a destroyer of lives.
	Well, there's a number of compounding factors here as well.
	Not only all the money is being printed, but if you look at the CPI numbers that came out in February, half of the inflationary pressures were energy-related.

	Those who care about what the New York Times says about them and those who do not.
	The only way to moral clarity in this country is not to care about what the New York Times says about you.
	That's by way of introduction of an extremely important work that has just been published, titled The Gray Lady Winked.
	The Gray Lady is known as the New York Times.
	The New York Times Misreporting Distortions and Fabrications Radically Alter History, is the subtitle.
	The author is Ashley Rinsberg, who when I read his biography, I would say qualifies as a Renaissance man, novelist, essayist, freelance journalist, etc., etc.
	Born in South Africa, and then the rest is fascinating history.
	So, Ashley Rinsberg, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Thank you, Dennis.
	I'm really excited to be here.
	Thank you so much.
	What prompted you to write this book?
	Well, the book grew out of a chance occurrence when I was kind of going through a copy of William Shire's great book of history on World War II, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
	And in a footnote, Shire just kind of noted almost casually that on the eve of World War II, the New York Times had run a story claiming that Poland had invaded Germany, which was...
	I was sitting in my chair and it just kind of knocked me out of the chair.
	It was such a crazy idea that the New York Times could print something that was so wrong, so opposite to what we know is the truth about World War II. It was fundamental.
	And that launched me on a mission to understand how that happened, why that happened, what else happened like that, and that eventually evolved into a full book.
	That is mind-blowing.
	I didn't want to interrupt you.
	I want to review this.
	It really is.
	Well, I remember reading that in college, by the way.
	It is one of the most riveting works of history I have ever read.
	And I think it stands up in time, don't you?
	I absolutely do.
	And not only does his book or his books stand up, But as journalism does, too.
	And that was really important, something that I went back and looked at how other journalists, how other news outlets were recovering events like World War II. And, you know, because it's easy to say, well, looking back, it's 2020, very nice to meet you, you did your research great.
	But the reality was that people like Shire or Edward Murrow, they were reporting very much correctly.
	They were reporting on things like World War II or the Holocaust or many other events in history that the Times completely botched.
	These guys got it right and the Times got it completely wrong.
	So it wasn't just about hindsight.
	Who did Shira report for?
	I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that Shira was one of Murrow's boys.
	That's a good question.
	But Shira was not a New York Times reporter.
	No, no.
	Right, okay.
	I want to get back to your revelation.
	So you saw, was it a footnote, did you say?
	A footnote in Shire's book, The Rise and Fall of Third Reich.
	So the New York Times actually reported, this is what I said was mind-blowing, that Poland invaded Germany and not the other way around?
	Yes, so the lead story on that day, 1939, was basically a reprint of Nazi propaganda.
	Yes, that's what the Nazis claimed.
	That's right.
	They were responding to a Polish invasion.
	Exactly, exactly.
	And it wasn't by chance, of course.
	These were very well-seasoned propagandists, the Nazis.
	And they decided they would launch the war by deceiving the world as to effect.
	That would give them enough time, enough credibility.
	It would confuse the story enough to create a pause.
	And that's all we needed.
	We know they were one of their biggest strategies was using the blitz.
	Move fast.
	Storm.
	And just having the space in a few days where people said, oh, okay, well, if the Polish need insurrectionists.
	Actually did invade this German border town, then maybe the Germans are right to invade Poland.
	It kind of makes sense.
	And that's exactly what the Nazis wanted.
	But it all depended on getting this out into the world.
	And having it printed on the front page of the New York Times was, I would say, qualified as out in the world.
	Okay, so that, remember, this was all in answer to my question.
	What prompted you to write this book about the New York Times and its lies?
	So that footnote sort of triggered this whole thing in you?
	Yeah, you know, I think a lot of people like myself at the time and still today have a sense that something is up when you read certain stories or coverage in the mainstream media.
	You get a sense that you're not getting the full picture.
	And sometimes you even get a glimpse.
	Where you absolutely know you're not getting the full picture.
	In my case, I had been living in Israel, I still live in Israel, and I saw the Times reporting here, and I saw the reality on the ground here, and I said, there's just no way to reconcile these two things.
	The reality is so diverging from what I'm reading in this illustrious newspaper, how can it be?
	And when I saw this little footnote in William Shire's book, I said, okay.
	There's something more here.
	There's something going on.
	And when I discovered what happened throughout the Times' coverage of World War II over the course of a decade, that's when I started to understand that that feeling that I had, that something of amiss was actually real.
	It was what we called, you know, almost like being gaslighted when you discover, aha, it's not me, it's them.
	Well, of course it began even before The 1939 German invasion because they got the Pulitzer Prize for denying that the Ukrainians were having a famine.
	Yes, definitely.
	Definitely.
	And that was at least on the same level, the same proportion as their coverage or their botched coverage of World War II, which is that famously a reporter named Walter Durante covered up the Ukraine famine.
	He denied it in his reporting.
	I would say the most famous English-language reporter in the world at the time.
	He was a brilliant person.
	Spoke five languages, Oxford-educated.
	And the Times' narrative, still today, is that he was kind of a rogue reporter.
	He was slovenly.
	They really pinned it on him.
	But that isn't the story.
	Durante knew very well what was going on in Russia and Ukraine.
	He was there.
	He was on the ground.
	He was very well connected.
	He covered it up, it turns out, because he was instructed to.
	And this is the story the New York Times has never really let out, and I've never really seen it pieced together or told in this way.
	You know, the question is, why would Durante do this?
	Why would he risk his whole career, his journalistic reputation to peddle such a big lie?
	The Ukraine famine was big news.
	It was a big story.
	And if you're a journalist, you want that story.
	You don't want to cover up the story.
	You don't want to make it seem as if there's no story.
	So that's the question.
	Why did he do it?
	It's a question no one really asks.
	And the answer to it is because the New York Times' ownership wanted it to be told in this way, because they were pushing for American official recognition of the USSR, so the early days of the Soviet regime.
	And you could not convince the American public that the government should recognize this regime if it had just killed two to three million of its own people.
	It turns out the number was actually much greater than that.
	That's what was known at the time.
	And they buried it for that reason, and it worked.
	The FDR recognized the USSR. It was with Walter Durante's help, who really shepherded the process.
	And everybody kind of got what they wanted, aside from the American public.
	Why did he get a Pulitzer Prize?
	Were they as corrupt as the New York Times?
	You know, it's one of these things that's very hard to digest.
	During World War II, on the eve of World War II, printed the Nazi lies on the front page of the New York Times, received a Pulitzer.
	The New York Times reporter who called the Berlin Nazi Olympics the greatest sporting event of all time received a Pulitzer.
	Who said that?
	Who said that?
	This was a man named Frederick Burchall.
	He doesn't have the profile of Durante.
	Right.
	I was just curious.
	I'm impressed that you even remembered the name.
	But that's what he wrote from Berlin in the New York Times?
	That's what he reported from Berlin.
	And that was a lot of the times his coverage was very much carrying that water.
	And again, the Berlin Olympics were very clearly a propaganda.
	Yes, totally.
	I'll be back in a moment.

	The Republican Party and the Democratic Party have changed so dramatically.
	I mean, when you talk about the choice between a Nixon and a Humphrey or a McGovern, There's anything comparable today.
	The party has lurched so far left.
	I mean, Joe Biden is a husk.
	I don't know who is controlling the nation, but if Joe Biden 30 years ago were president, it would actually be a moderate Democrat.
	What we have now is so far left that I can't imagine that most Democrats who really understand what is going on would be for what's happening.
	Well, look, there was a vote the other day in the Senate, and the Republicans tried to add an amendment saying that any university that discriminates in admissions against Asian Americans will lose funding.
	Every single Democrat voted against that because it was seen as somehow anti-Black.
	I don't understand how being for Asian Americans is anti-Black, but every single American...
	A Democrat voted against that and it lost by one by one vote.
	How can you vote against a law that says you can't discriminate against Asian Americans?
	We have such a long history of discriminating against Asian Americans.
	There are now lawsuits involving Yale and Harvard and Princeton who are accused of discriminating in admission policy against Asians in order to raise the number of African Americans.
	They deny that there's a quota system but if it ever Ever got below 13%, they'd be held to pay.
	If that's not a quota, I don't know what is.
	is they call it a target.

	I'm speaking with Ashley Rinsberg.
	Book is up at DennisPrager.com.
	The gray lady winked.
	How the New York Times misreporting distortions and fabrications radically alter history.
	Let me give you an example.
	You meaning you, my listeners.
	And you, Ashley.
	New York Times this past Saturday.
	GOP intensifies.
	This is the front page headline.
	GOP intensifies nationwide push to restrict vote.
	There you go.
	That's propaganda.
	Ashley, you'll find this of interest.
	I studied international relations at Columbia, and I learned Russian.
	And I learned Russian solely in order to be able to read Pravda.
	Soviet Communist paper.
	And I read Pravda almost every day while I was at graduate school.
	And it was fascinating to read because I wanted to see how they covered issues that I knew the truth about.
	And I read the New York Times and the LA Times, not just the Washington Post, in the exact same way I read Pravda.
	Just looking to see, not to learn anything, but to see how they covered anything that I knew about.
	Right.
	So, that's how bad it's become.
	So, we've discussed, I mean, these are amazing, the Ukraine issue and the Nazi Olympics issue and the invasion of Poland issue.
	Give us some more examples.
	Right through the 20th century, you know, a big one for me personally is the Holocaust, which obviously the reporting was, or the non-reporting, I should say, was concurrent with their World War II debacle.
	But the Times from New York chose effectively to quote-unquote bury the Holocaust.
	They did not cover it.
	They acted as if it didn't.
	It wasn't happening.
	And if you were reading their newspaper day by day, when reports were coming out of the deaths of 700,000 Jews, a million Jews, I mean, we're talking about an epic story, a story of once in a generation, or even bigger than that, and they just were silent.
	And again, it kind of boggles the mind.
	This is a newsgathering organization.
	Their mission in life is to bring people the fact.
	And this is a fact of all fact.
	People were being slaughtered en masse in Europe by a so-called civilized nation.
	And that, to me, was really the height of it, because that's more than failure, more than even malfeasance.
	That's something on a tragic level.
	And diving into it, again, the question I kept bumping up against was, how could such a thing happen?
	How?
	And the answer there was a very disturbing answer, and it touches on everything that I think we've learned about false media narratives and why they happen, why they go wrong.
	And in this case, it is because there's a dynasty, a dynastic family in control of The New York Times.
	No checks and balances on them.
	They own the company.
	They are the publisher.
	They appoint the editors.
	They can do whatever they want, and they did.
	And in this case...
	They were afraid of being seen as a Jewish newspaper.
	That was part of it.
	They were afraid it would hurt their newspaper, hurt their business.
	And on the other hand, they had some very esoteric theories about what it meant to be a Jewish person or Jew and what it didn't mean.
	And for them, it didn't mean that you were part of a nation.
	It just meant you worshipped in a particular way.
	So the fact that, quote-unquote, Jewish people were being slaughtered in Europe didn't mean anything to them.
	It was just other people.
	Part of the war wasn't anything particular, but we know for a fact that the Holocaust was a war within the war.
	It was fought, you know, Hitler had been on record saying if nothing else happens, so long as he destroys the Jewish people, he will have succeeded.
	And the Times completely just chose to ignore that for both ideological reasons and for interest-related reasons.
	How did the New York Times, given its record of lying, how did it become known as the paper of record?
	Up until that point, the paper had been very well respected and quote-unquote gray.
	I mean, that's where the name the gray lady comes from, is that the reporting was pretty down the line.
	The founder of the dynasty I was just talking about was a German-Jewish immigrant to America.
	He loved America and appreciated all that it had done for him.
	His name was Adolf Box.
	And he decided that he would report the news without fear or favor.
	That's his famous proclamation.
	He wrote it in the New York Times as a business announcement.
	And he kept to his word for as long as he was there at the helm.
	They reported things in a very grey manner.
	They brought the facts.
	They tried to keep things pretty sedate.
	But, you know, this is the nature of a dynasty, that the founder might have great intentions and good ideals and good values.
	But what happens with a dynasty, and this is something you see over and over in politics and media and business, is that the rest of the dynasty, down the line, are more interested in maintaining or growing their wealth and their power and their prestige.
	Then they are in fulfilling the original ideals of the founder.
	And that's exactly what's happened at the Times.
	And, you know, these are individuals.
	They're people.
	They are not imbued with special powers, but they've been given this huge amount of power.
	I mean, we lose sight of it.
	We think of this as just a newspaper, but it's not.
	It is an institution, a business, and a company that controls how we perceive.
	The world.
	It controls how we understand what's going on around us.
	And that is a lot of power for a very small number of people.
	So, President Trump's claim, fake media, well, well predates his presidency.
	Yes.
	Yes, it does.
	And, you know, that term, fake media and fake news, That became a political football in and of itself.
	And it sort of distorted the deeper issue.
	The real issue here is that there are false media narratives.
	They happen.
	And they don't just happen.
	They don't just fall out of the sky.
	Somebody is making a decision.
	Somebody is deciding that we are going to do this in a coordinated and deliberate and concerted way.
	Because you can publish a story about something that's false.
	And most people won't notice it, and those that do, half of them won't believe it anyway.
	In order to build what I've called a false media narrative, you need a lot of energy, a lot of people, a lot of resources pounding away at this same message.
	You really are trying to do this.
	And this is where we have to be very careful, because this is something that's precious in a democracy, which is trust in information.
	Well, democracy dies in darkness.
	The motto of the Washington Post.
	I want to ask you about Vietnam and the coverage there when we come back.
	Ashley Rinsberg, The Gray Lady Winked, up at DennisPrager.com.
	Trending now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	Some of us that are conservatives had hoped, I think it was a false hope, that at some point the left was going to stop.
	At some point they were going to say, you know what, maybe we've gone too far.
	No, this is just the beginning of their plans.
	This is just the very start of what they plan to do to our nation and to our country.
	And Donald Trump I think only accelerated a lot of their radicalism.
	You see, what they used to hide, what they used to pretend did not exist, they now lead with.
	They now say the private part out loud because they know the media will not hold them accountable.
	A great example of this is the Washington Post has now completely disbanded their fact-checking division.
	Who needs fact-checking when the Ministry of Truth has taken over the presidency?
	Where all they did was fact-check.
	Donald Trump's presidency.
	And most of those fact checks were basically critiques of nuance and context.
	They were not things that actually were necessary for massive front page fact checking.
	But they've disbanded their fact checking division because who needs to fact check Joe Biden?
	He's who they want to be put in place.
	But here's the thing that I think that we need to focus on the most, which is every single conservative in the country.
	And I'm just going to start doing this right after, you know, right after, I'd say late May, early June, which is every single conservative in the country needs to start showing up to these school board meetings.
	I think we have the tape here of this group of teachers that showed up, not teachers, this group of parents in Vail, Arizona.
	They just showed up to a random school board meeting and took over the school board.
	They fired the school board and they said, we're in charge now.

	To heal.
	You know this stuff is wrong.
	Hear me clearly.
	America is not a racist country.
	Okay, the man is being slammed for saying America is not a racist country.
	Kamu Bell says, you know, it depends on how you define racism.
	Here's how he defines racism.
	I define that as a country that is built on racism.
	So yes, I believe America is a racist country because it literally is built on and runs on racism.
	America is built on racism and runs on racism.
	It's sort of the petrol of America, the fuel of America.
	So his definition of racism is America was built on racism and is run on racism, whatever the hell that means.
	And the definition given by this gentleman in the Washington Post Quote, it means that we have systems and institutions referring to systemic racism.
	It means we have systems and institutions that produce racially disparate outcomes regardless of the intentions of the people who work within them, end of quote.
	So if every cop is devoid of racism, but the cops pull over more blacks than they do whites, that's systemic racism.
	Even if the cops aren't racist.
	Because the outcomes are different.
	The outcomes are different.
	Well, everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
	Okay.
	A deeply needed book.
	The Gray Lady Winked by Ashley Rinsberg.
	Rinsberg, R-I-N-D-S-B-E-R-G. By the way, I see in the bio about you on the leaf that...
	In 2010, Rinsberg traveled to Nicaragua to investigate the disappearance and death of his best friend.
	There's nothing else said about that, and I'm very, very intrigued.
	Did you find out why he disappeared?
	No, it's not clear, actually.
	I was there for a few months, Nicaragua.
	I hiked up with guides and harnesses and ropes and everything to this volcano where my friend disappeared and was eventually found.
	His remains were found.
	Nobody knows why that happened or how that happened still to this day, unfortunately.
	Where is he buried?
	He was buried in San Diego, California, where he was from, where I grew up with him.
	And we were fast friends from an early age.
	And we went to university together.
	And after university, he was working in theater and decided to take this trip to Nicaragua and never came back.
	Wow.
	I'm very sorry about that.
	Losing a friend is horrible.
	It's horrible.
	It is.
	It is.
	Alright, let's go back to the New York Times, about which you have written here.
	So, let's go to, there are two more, at least two more subjects I want to get to about the truth and the New York Times.
	Cuba and Vietnam.
	So we'll take it in chronological order, and then we'll start with Cuba.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, Cuba...
	You know, Cuba was one of these cases where Vietnam is a case, the New York Times' involvement there is a little bit more complex.
	Cuba is actually quite straightforward, which is that in the late 1950s, Fidel Castro, the man we know today as Cuba's dictator, former dictator, was all but defeated.
	I mean, he was...
	Down to the last few men, no money, hiding out in the mountains in Cuba.
	They weren't even bothering to look for him at that point, the Batista regime.
	They had stopped searching because it didn't really matter.
	He was kind of nothing.
	Then comes along this New York Times reporter by the name of Herbert Matthews, who decides he's going to track down this rebel and interview him, which he does.
	But the decision Matthews makes is to turn this rebel, this lone rebel, into Cuba's democratic messiah.
	And he actually uses these words.
	He speaks about, in his reporting, he spoke about Cruz del Castro as a messiah, as a prophet, as, you know, the savior of Cuba, democratic savior.
	Through this notoriety, because the time, like today, was so important, so influential, maybe even more so then than now, that suddenly Castro is a celebrity.
	He gets money, he gets guns, he gets attention, most importantly of all.
	And that really is what launched him onto the world stage, made him relevant, and put him in a position to overthrow the Batista regime in Cuba.
	And this was to the point that Castro later came to the New York Times, not once, not even twice, three times at the very least, three times we know about, to thank the publishers of the New York Times for what they did for him.
	Was Herbert Matthews a communist?
	No, actually.
	Herbert Matthews was a very romantic reporter.
	He had all these ideas about...
	Okay, so he romanticized, like they romanticized Che Guevara.
	Exactly.
	So he was one of these fellow travelers.
	That's what he was.
	All right, so they lied about Castro.
	And now we're going to go to Vietnam, and you say it's more of a mixed record.
	Well, Vietnam was, I would say it's more complex.
	I think what happened there is pretty clear cut, which is that The New York Times is, at that time, it was a young, sort of rising reporter, he's 29 years old, named David Halberstam, and a colleague who would later replace him named Neil Sheehan.
	And the two of them decided that they were not there to just cover the news or gather the facts.
	They were there to have a hand in the events unfolding.
	And they did not like certain things about the way the war was being run, including the fact that The U.S. had partnered with the South Vietnamese government, led by a man named Diem, to try to...
	Right.
	All right.
	Hold on there.
	This is really important.

	Principal finding, Ferguson is 67% black, but 85% of the traffic stops are of black people.
	An 18-point gap.
	Ergo, systemic racism.
	And the Ferguson PD only had, out of 50 officers, about 3 or 4 black.
	Now, New York City is 25% black, right?
	What percentage of the traffic stops are black people?
	55%.
	That's a 30-point gap.
	But the NYPD is majority-minority.
	So how is it that this NYPD police force, this majority-minority, has a bigger gap between the percentage of blacks in the city and the percentage of blacks who are those who are pulled over in traffic stops, a bigger gap with a racially diverse PD? But the Obama administration didn't accuse the NYPD of systemic racism.
	But the Ferguson PD that has a smaller gap, 18 point, with an almost all-white police department, is systemically racist.
	So we're always going to be racist.
	Kamal Bell says, I believe America is racist because it was founded on racism and is still run on racism.
	Was it run on racism when Obama was president?
	And did it go back to racism when Trump became president?
	Of the 700 counties that voted for Obama twice, 2008, 2012, 200 of them switched to vote for Trump in 2016.
	Now, when did they become racist?

	I think many people on the far left today think teaching civics is a way of enshrining colonialism and slavery and talking about our families.
	But you understand, this is what I'm talking about.
	The Upper West Side of Manhattan has taken over the culture.
	And, you know, I don't say that.
	I'm not speaking as an anti-Semite or as a hater of liberals.
	But I mean, there's a worldview, you know, the red diaper babies.
	That worldview bizarrely has gained purchase in the culture so that everybody thinks it's normal when you think of America to think that, you know, Columbus was a genocidal maniac and on and on and on.
	In other words, if you look at the roots of these ideas, the seeds of these ideas...

	And a reminder about BJU Press if you're raising kids.
	For almost 50 years, BJU Press has been producing academically solid textbooks and video lessons that enable students to form a perspective on life rooted in Christian values.
	In their history materials, they show God's hand on man's affairs throughout the ages.
	In literature, they explore the moral absolutes that God has put into the world.
	In math, they demonstrate how God loves order, and in science, there is not a page that does not demonstrate the omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence of the Creator.

	I just spoke, by the way, this weekend in Dallas at the Texas Homeschool Convention.
	What terrific people.
	Their kids are lucky.
	Aside from they're learning a lot more than in the average school, they are actually happy.
	They're not jaded.
	They're not ungrateful for being Americans.
	My guest here is Ashley Rinsberg about how much the New York Times has not told the truth, and it's a revelatory book.
	Glenn Greenwald, who's a man of the left, but who is intellectually honest, writes the New York Times, by far the most influential newspaper in the world.
	and thus receives far too little journalistic scrutiny due to its power to affect careers.
	Any book that casts a critical eye on the paper of records history, as this book does, is performing a valuable service.
	In an account brimming, this is Daniel Pipes.
	With fascinating, if morbid, detail, Ashley Rinsberg rigorously exposes the dark side.
	Of the New York Times.
	Not sure that there's any longer anything but a dark side, but that's another issue.
	So you were talking about that we have covered the Berlin Olympics.
	We have covered the Ukraine famine induced by Stalin, created by Stalin.
	We have talked about the denial, or not denial, just the omission of Holocaust reporting.
	We talked about the building up of Fidel Castro.
	Now we are at the New York Times and Vietnam.
	Now you mentioned David Halberstam, and who was the other person?
	The other person was Neil Sheehan, who was later, after Halberstam left Vietnam, Sheehan became the Vietnam correspondent for the Times.
	And Halberstam was also with the New York Times, right.
	So, yeah, he wrote the best and brightest, which was very influential about our mistake about Vietnam.
	Okay, so go ahead.
	So, between the two of them, Haverstam and Xi'an, they decided they were not pleased with how the war was being fought and the alliance between the U.S. and the South Vietnamese government.
	For whatever reason, they felt the values were misaligned, whatever it was.
	The key thing is that they decided to take matters into their own hands.
	And they understood that they already had something in their hands that was very powerful, which is the New York Times, or in chance, is reporting at UPI. And they could start to shape a different kind of narrative.
	And that's exactly what they started to do.
	They started to see this idea that the...
	I think that, number one, the Kennedy administration was increasingly unhappy with the South Vietnamese government, and number two, that the South Vietnamese government, the leadership, were unhinged crazies that were doing all sorts of repressive things, like massacring Buddhists, Buddhist monks.
	And in one case, Halberstam reported for The New York Times that the South Vietnamese government had killed 30 Buddhist monks.
	It just never happened.
	Not only were not 30 killed, zero Buddhist monks were killed.
	And this is the same kind of thing where you're coloring, you're using this kind of misreporting to color perceptions of this government, to make them seem as if they're evil and illegitimate and not worthy of U.S. support.
	And this reporting was directed through certain channels of the American government that were also in favor of.
	It overthrew the South Vietnamese government, and it was used on that basis to perform this coup, this coup d'etat, which happened.
	When President Kennedy found out about the coup, which resulted in the South Vietnamese president being executed, his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, said he had never seen Kennedy more upset than on that day,
	because Not only was Diem, the South Vietnamese president, a fellow Catholic of Kennedy's, but Kennedy also knew that the only way for him to pull the U.S. out of Vietnam was if there were a stable South Vietnamese government.
	And the moment that Diem was executed and his government overthrown, that option went out the window.
	And as we know, it was another...
	Many years, I think it was close to a decade at that point, of war in Vietnam on account of the interference of these two young, barely 30-year-old reporters in Vietnam who had their own ideas.
	And then there's the Tet Offensive.
	Do you cover that?
	No, I didn't go into that.
	I did research it a bit and, you know, from what I understand it was...
	There were some complexities there, but I didn't include it.
	Okay, that's fine.
	So, is there a next big lie after Vietnam?
	Yeah, there was another chapter after Vietnam.
	I mean, chronologically, it's earlier, which is the atomic bombing of Japan by the United States, which everybody knew about.
	It was reported after it happened.
	The lie that was perpetrated was that there was no such thing as radiation poisoning.
	Which is what the U.S. government wanted people to believe.
	And in order to help spread that belief, they put the New York Times' chief science writer, a man named William Lawrence, on their payroll.
	And in exchange, the New York Times got to put their man on one of the bombers that was part of the armada that was headed to Nagasaki to drop the second nuclear bomb on Germany.
	Boy, I never knew that.
	Back in a moment.
	The foreign minister revealed that John Kerry personally informed him that Israel was behind over 200 attacks on its military forces and proxies in Syria.
	Zarif professed astonishment at Kerry's tip-off.
	No doubt the Israelis are astonished at this as well.
	And all Americans should feel the same way.
	After years of unfounded accusations about Republican collusion with Russia, we now hear of a prominent member of two Democratic administrations sharing intelligence about our allies' covert operations with a regime that regularly holds Death to America rallies in its capital.
	The Biden administration needs to explain Kerry's actions immediately, especially while pursuing pointless negotiations with the puppet government in Tehran.

	For the hot new summer blockbuster, he and his dazzling co-star, Kamala.
	Thank you.
	His use of voice modulation was rather extraordinary given the television era.
	And it served as cover at times for...
	Unspooling an ambition in this speech that was Rooseveltian in size and scope.
	It's really beautiful.
	I mean, it was beautiful.
	He's developing a kind of positive populism.
	He also talked about the soul of America, and that was so passionate when he talked about the injustice, the knee of injustice is on the neck of black America.
	His connections to the people in this room, I'm not even sure if all of them are deserving of them, but he does not care.
	He gives to them the benefit of the doubt.
	And his voice, that kind of grandfatherly, whispery voice, and the fact that it actually wasn't a big raucous crowd, let that intimacy really land.
	Every single sentence had a very clear point to it, and every line of it had that Biden humility in it.
	He's really trying to bring the country together.
	It was a make America feel good night.
	Wait a second.
	Wasn't that the President of the United States talking?
	No, that's what you thought.
	In fact, it was Jesus in aviator glasses.
	What Joe Biden said last night was beautiful, beautiful.
	It was intimate, grandfatherly, indeed Rooseveltian.
	So there's a good litmus test with that kind of commentary.

	...because it's so terrible a subject, the amount of lying in the New York Times history.
	So I asked you about post-Vietnam, and of course you do cover post-Vietnam because you cover the 1619 Project.
	Our founding ideals were false, and they make up this falsehood, which is now in thousands of schools.
	And the Russian collusion on the Trump campaign.
	The lies from the New York Times are coming so fast and furious that it sort of is at least as great as any in the past.
	So you did cover that woke issue.
	Any final thought?
	Yeah, the woke issue in the 1619 Project is, I think, one of the most damaging in the entire book because this is not anymore trying to cover anything up.
	They're saying it on the face.
	They're saying, we are trying to change history.
	They use those words.
	So they have thrown truth out the window with the 1619 Project, which explains why there are so many huge bombastic errors.
	And the idea there is that those errors that everybody was catching when the project came out aren't errors.
	They are intentional distortions.
	As I said before, it's that if you're trying to change history, you literally have to change it.
	And that's what the New York Times is still doing with the 1619 Project.
	And I think that's the most insidious of all these examples.
	And it's the one that we're watching happen in front of our eyes.
	You could write the same book about the Washington Post, almost the same.
	Certainly the Los Angeles Times, CNN. It is a very, very bad thing, the media in the West.
	You're living in Israel.
	What do you think of the media there?
	I think here it's much more mixed.
	There's more diversity in a way.
	I mean, the U.S. media is...
	I think very concentrated.
	It's concentrated in ownership.
	It's concentrated in ideology.
	And here there's a little bit more diversity.
	There's more constituencies that the media here are speaking to.
	Though there are some of the same trends as well here.
	And everywhere else in the world.
	All right.
	Listen, let me congratulate you on your book.
	And I have a feeling that a lot of my listeners will be reading it.
	The Gray Lady Winked.
	How the New York Times is misreporting distortions and fabrications radically alter history.
	Congratulations, Ashley Rinsberg.
	Thank you so much, Dennis.
	It was a real pleasure and privilege.
	Thank you.
	Okay, everybody, take care.
