=== Why PragerU Beats College (06:12) ===

[00:00:00]  If you sent your child to PragerU instead of college, unless they had to learn physics or math, some of the STEM subjects which are also being corrupted, but that's a separate issue, your child would learn more about life, would be a happier human being, better adjusted, have far greater wisdom with the 500 videos at PragerU.
[00:00:29]  And have money left over for a down payment on a house.
[00:00:33]  And have money left over for a down payment on a house.
[00:00:38]  That's exactly right.
[00:00:41]  It's one of the most common attacks on PragerU, and we're attacked a lot.
[00:00:52]  And one of it is, oh, PragerU, that's Prager University.
[00:00:57]  That reminds me of Trump University.
[00:01:00]  See that a lot, right?
[00:01:03]  First of all, Prague University is free.
[00:01:05]  F-R-E-E. It doesn't cost you a penny.
[00:01:09]  So the analogy breaks down immediately.
[00:01:12]  There's no money in it for us if you attend, as it were.
[00:01:18]  We are sustained by public donations.
[00:01:24]  So that number two, we are teaching you With the finest faculty on earth.
[00:01:33]  Who was the professor at Johns Hopkins that we just, I just, you and I just edited?
[00:01:40]  Marty McCary.
[00:01:41]  Marty McCary.
[00:01:43]  And he's a professor of epidemiology?
[00:01:46]  Surgery and public health.
[00:01:47]  Surgery and public health at Johns Hopkins.
[00:01:50]  Do you think that this man would give a course at a place that was less than sterling in its reputation?
[00:02:00]  Would he allow his name to be sullied?
[00:02:08]  They don't mention to you all the distinguished people, former prime ministers, who have given courses at PragerU.
[00:02:20]  Just for the record.
[00:02:22]  Yes, indeed.
[00:02:29]  We had a nurse, and I wanted to take her call.
[00:02:34]  But it is what it is, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:02:38]  What is the latest from the American Psychoanalytic Association?
[00:02:46]  Diagnoses whiteness as malignant parasitic-like condition.
[00:02:54]  Well...
[00:02:59]  Psychiatry has been poisoned by the left for much of its history.
[00:03:03]  There are some terrific psychiatrists.
[00:03:05]  We have one regularly on the Happiness Hour, Dr. Stephen Marmer.
[00:03:11]  But the profession is worse than useless for most people.
[00:03:19]  Do you know that when I find out, this is true for psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts, the three groups of psychotherapists, When I find out that, let's say, a 20-year-old has decided not to speak to his or her parent,
[00:03:38]  ever, my first assumption is that the idea was either suggested or affirmed by the psychologist, someone I know extremely well.
[00:03:59]  I can't say more than that.
[00:04:01]  Someone I know extremely well, one of whose children has not spoken to him for a number of years, he has never seen his grandchildren through this child, and did not know my views, in fact, as a liberal, did not know my views on the issue, said that the family had attended psychotherapeutic sessions together.
[00:04:27]  The now estranged son and this man and his wife.
[00:04:35]  And it was the psychologist in this case who this person holds primarily responsible aside from the son for the decision not to talk to them.
[00:04:52]  The harm that this profession has done This is an example.
[00:04:59]  This is just an example.
[00:05:00]  Just remember, this started when thousands of them, what was it, called Barry Goldwater mentally unfit to be president because they were leftists.
[00:05:13]  Something you should know is a lot of this stuff is not new.
[00:05:19]  That the left ruins everything it touches was true in 1955 as much as it is in 2021. But it didn't touch everything as much as it does today.
[00:05:30]  That's the difference.
[00:05:31]  I learned men and women were basically the same.
[00:05:34]  I learned that the United States was a colonialist evil in the world, an imperialist country in the 1970s.
[00:05:45]  I learned that Israel was the villain in the Middle East in the 1970s.
[00:05:52]  It's simply...
[00:05:54]  A matter of quantity, the left controls more and has therefore even gotten more fanatical.

=== Witeness: A Condition Acquired (00:45) ===

[00:06:05]  This is an amazing thing.
[00:06:08]  No permanent cure, says high-ranking psychoanalyst.
[00:06:12]  From the first words of psychoanalyst Donald Moss's journal article on having whiteness, Witeness is a condition one first acquires and then one has,
