Thank you.
Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
The Wall Street Journal has a piece by two epidemiologists, associate professor of medicine at UCLA Medical School and a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.
Well, one is an epidemiologist, one is a medical doctor.
I've had both on the show.
They are courageous doctors.
Which is as rare as courageous anybody.
Courage.
Does courage know a profession?
Maybe the military.
But that's a different courage.
Of course, it's physical courage.
But putting the military aside, I can't think of a profession that is not dominated by people who...
I hate to use the word, are cowardly.
I've always felt that about professors and deans and college presidents, where one of the necessary characteristics is a lack of courage.
But in medicine, it is now identical.
Doctors are as likely to be sheep as professors.
And these two stand out, and so does the Wall Street Journal for publishing them.
Are COVID vaccines riskier than advertised?
One remarkable aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic has been how often unpopular scientific ideas, from the lab leak theory to the efficacy of masks, were initially dismissed, even ridiculed, only to resurface later in mainstream even ridiculed, only to resurface later in mainstream thinking.
Differences of opinion have sometimes been rooted in disagreement over the underlying science.
Now please hear the next sentence.
But the more common motivation, These are two eminent doctors who are accusing their profession.
Of being motivated by politics more than medicine.
That is a fact.
The American Medical Association harms Americans more than it helps them, as an example.
Another reversal in thinking may be imminent.
Some scientists have raised concerns that the safety risks of COVID-19 vaccines have been underestimated.
But the politics of vaccination has relegated their concern to the outskirts of scientific thinking for now.
That's what we call a bombshell.
Some scientists have raised concerns that the safety risks of COVID-19 vaccines have been underestimated, but the politics of vaccination has relegated the The politics of vaccination, not the science of vaccination, has relegated their concerns to the outskirts of scientific thinking.
There is a database, it's called the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, and it's administrated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC and the FDA. Incidentally, the last FDA head Scott Gottlieb is on the board of Pfizer.
They don't even hide their corruption.
They are so certain that the press will cover for them, because the press of the United States is like the press of the Soviet Union.
It's not there to report what happens.
It's there to advance an ideological agenda.
But that should be, I think, a tip-off.
As to the corruption, remember my friends, vaccines make companies and thereby the CDC and others billions, hundreds of billions of dollars.
Ivermectin makes them nothing.
You think that's a factor?
Well, if you don't, it's because you choose not to.
The VAERS database cannot say what would have happened in the absence of vaccination.
Of course it can't, right?
Nonetheless, the large clustering of certain adverse events immediately after vaccination is concerning, and the silence around these potential signals of harm reflects the politics surrounding COVID-19 vaccines.
Stigmatizing such concerns Is bad for scientific integrity and could harm patients.
This is a very powerful piece.
Four serious adverse events follow this arc according to data taken directly from VAERS. Again, VAERS is the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
And they are 1. Low platelets.
Thrombocytopenia.
2. Non-infectious myocarditis or heart inflammation, especially for those under 20. 3. Deep vein thrombosis.
And 4. Death.
The implication is that the risks of COVID-19 vaccine may outweigh the benefits for certain low-risk populations, such as children.
Young adults and people who have recovered from COVID-19.
Why are children being told to get the vaccine?
The chance...
You hear this?
The chance of being hurt by the vaccine if you're a child may be greater than the chance of you being hurt by COVID. Why would a parent...
It's so interesting.
Parents would not want their kid...
To fly alone at 14 or jump off a diving board, but they would give them this vaccine in a nanosecond.
Why would they do that?
A big reason is The vile media of America.
They do not allow dissenting voices in medicine to be heard.
Google has killed people and so has Twitter and the others, YouTube, which is owned by Google.
Suppressing information on therapeutics.
Therapeutics is things that can either prevent or cure.
Or mitigate the bad effects of a given illness.
The banning of information on that has no moral justification.
These people lie and you die.
I never talked like this.
I've been broadcasting for over three decades.
I would have thought that somebody who spoke about the corruption of medicine CDC, FDA, WHO, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, I would have said that they were off the deep end.
This is not something I am happy to tell you, but if you care about truth, A very much misused word.
I see no other option.
Again, this is a professor of medicine at Stanford and a professor of epidemiology at Yale.
The implication is, I read this again, the risks of a COVID-19 vaccine may outweigh the benefits.
For children, young adults, and people who have recovered from COVID-19, why are we giving this to children?
Why are colleges demanding that you be vaccinated before you could go there?
And what if, God forbid, it turns out that years from now we see effects of the vaccine that we did not see immediately?
Will people then understand the moral corruption at the heart of modern universities?
And the answer is no.
I want my kids to go to college.
That's it.
College uberalis.
Like safety uberalis.
But even that, the safety, this is the joke.
People will wear masks outside.
And have their children vaccinated.
We live in the age of the irrational.
He cut his country down.
No one stood up to him.
Nobody.
My parents didn't teach me that I was a victim.
And Uncle Tom is somebody who has sold out.
I will not pretend to be a victim in this country.
I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable.
Most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent, free thinkers.
When there's chaos, when there's pandemics, when there's riots, people think, where is God?
God always manages to reemerge.
This Constitution is intended for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.

Scripturally, God gives His people authority.
Yeah.
That if you are operating in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit, you have authority.
But most people think like, well, that's presumptuous.
I don't have any authority.
I'm just going to hide back here.
And I think...
That's not biblical, folks.
We're supposed to act.
We're called the boldness, not belligerence.
I don't have to be a jerk for Jesus, but the world says, oh, you're just arrogant.
No, don't mistake arrogance for passion.
I'm passionate about standing up and fighting for the Bible, and in this case, the Constitution, because we do have a republic to save.
There's no doubt about that.
There are a lot of people in the evangelical world that they don't understand this.
They almost seem naively to say, like, well, we don't want to fight for America.
As though that's a dirty thing.
In other words, they act as though it's about building up the kingdom of America, and clearly that's not what we're saying.
So how do you explain that?
Well, you know, CNN recently come to our church and said, are you a Christian nationalist?
They love to throw that terminology around.
I said, if you mean by that, that I love the nation and I follow Jesus Christ, then absolutely.
But to them, those are two terms that are irreconcilable.
They can't understand how can you love God and love the nation.
My question is, how can you not love God and still not love the nation?
Because he's a God of nations.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The God of Israel.
And I mean, the gospel, redemption is for all nations.
And so I think if you're going to be a believer, you ought to...
You ought to stand up.
Because we do have a church issue.
Judgment doesn't begin at the White House.
Judgment begins at God's house.
And because God's house is not in order, because we're not humbling ourselves and repenting, I believe we're watching this horrible tidal wave of a tyrannical government take over this nation.

Hi, everybody. everybody.
You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
Reading to you from this piece in the Wall Street Journal by a professor of medicine at UCLA, medical school, and a professor of epidemiology at Yale about the non-reporting Of risks with regard to the vaccine.
He's not saying, neither of them is saying don't take it.
He's saying we need to be honest and not allow politics to determine whether we talk about it.
And he doesn't see why children, young adults, and people who, especially, this to me was the tip-off.
Even if you had COVID, you should get the vaccine.
While you would never know it from listening to public health officials, not a single published study has demonstrated that patients with a prior infection benefit from COVID-19 vaccination.
Did you know that, my dear listeners?
Has this been reported on any of the mainstream liars?
No?
That's why you don't know about it.
You know a lot more about COVID and lockdowns and masks listening to this show, and not only my show, I'm just using mine as reference, than reading the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, watching CNN, etc.
That this isn't readily acknowledged by the CDC or Anthony Fauci is an indication of how deeply entangled pandemic politics is in science.
This article is what we call a hand grenade, or if you will, bombshell.
Not a single published study has demonstrated that patients with a prior infection benefit from COVID-19.
That this is not readily acknowledged by the CDC or Anthony Fauci is an indication of how deeply entangled pandemic politics is in science.
Finally, public health authorities are making a mistake and risking the public's trust.
That, my dear friends, is what we call an understatement.
They have lost my trust entirely.
It's an incredible thing.
I never imagined saying that.
For me, five years ago, if somebody would have said, I have no faith in the CDC, NIH, and all these other organs of public health.
I would have thought they were a kook.
I admit it.
And I would have been wrong.
Public health authorities are making a mistake in risking the public's trust by not being forthcoming about the possibility of harm from certain vaccine side effects.
There will be lasting consequences for mingling political partisanship and science during the management of a public health crisis.
I salute the Wall Street Journal for publishing that particular piece.
That takes courage.
I'd like to remind you that my column yesterday poses a question that I'd like you to ask.
Thank you.
This is, to me, an unanswerable question on the part of those who lie about America being a racist country.
And ask them, why then have millions of blacks from the Caribbean and Africa moved here in the last 50 years, when no Jews moved to Germany in the 30s?
Why would that be?
Are black Africans fools?
Are blacks in the Caribbean fools?
Jews were smart not to move to Germany, but blacks are stupid to move to America.
That's what they're saying.
I read comments on my pieces all the time.
I read comments on other pieces, too.
I find the comments section.
Very important, by the way, and I'll tell you why.
It gives me an idea of the readership of that particular website.
If the comments are stupid, even if they're on our side, then it doesn't speak well for the readership of that particular website.
So that's one reason I read comments.
The bigger reason is to see, for example, at the New York Times, Where there is largely a herd of readers, I get a chance to read what the left thinks unfiltered, and it's very, very helpful to me.
So I read the comments on my own, and to my great interest, nobody refuted the argument.
Many leftists comment on my pieces, and there was no refutation.
Why do blacks move to America if it's systemically racist?
Either they're fools, or the people who say it's systemically racist are fools.
You can't have both right.
Right?
We will leave an all-black society for a white supremacist society run by whites.
Is ridiculous.
Simply ridiculous.
That was the column yesterday.

For the whole of the Cold War, was there ever a moment from the Berlin blockade of 1948 until the collapse of the Berlin Wall on November 9th, 1989.
Was there one moment in that ideological standoff where 43% of the eastern seaboard's gas supply was shut down by Russians?
Just once!
I'm not talking about OPEC and Carter and price rising and gouging and a cartel activity out of the Middle East.
I'm talking about actions by the Soviet Union that led to empty gas stations and gas lines.
Was there?
Not once.
And that was the real Cold War.
But now, you, Joe Biden, you think, oh!
Oh no, that lovely, lovely KGB colonel, he doesn't want a new Cold War.
Then what happened a month ago, here in the nation's capital, when more than 80%, 80% of the gas stations had no gasoline?
How's that for a real Cold War?
How's the fact that there is a large part of the sovereign nation of Ukraine...

Hi, everybody.
Hi, everybody.
So, apparently the voices of moral decency and truth are having an effect if one of the great propagandists of our time, Ibram X. Kendi, which is the name he adopted to sound.
More authentically black.
And is a professor at Boston University to its everlasting shame.
So this is how he proves he's annoyed that people are saying America's not racist.
The signposts of racism are staring back at us in big, bold racial inequities.
But some Americans are ignoring the signposts walking on by racial inequity.
Riding on by the evidence and proclaiming their belief with religious fervor.
America is not a racist country, Senator Tim Scott said in April.
Black babies die at twice the rate of white babies.
So, in no arena does he supply the evidence that this is because they're black and whites are responsible.
For example, is it possible, I'm just offering a thought, is it possible that with nearly 80% of black babies born to unwed mothers and in very troubled circumstances, shall we say, in many cases, might that be a factor?
If indeed black babies die at twice the rate of white babies, could it be in some way related to the circumstances in which they are born into and not white racism?
How does white racism cause black babies to die at twice the rate of white babies?
How?
I'd like to know, do white doctors ignore black patients?
That would be an example of racism.
See, this is the...
I'll go on.
Roughly a fifth of Native Americans and Latino Americans are medically uninsured.
Almost triple the rate of white Americans and Asian Americans.
Roughly a fifth of 20%, roughly 20% of Native Americans, I guess they couldn't find this to be true with black Americans, and Latino Americans are medically uninsured.
Almost triple the rate of white Americans and Asian Americans.
I thought we were racist against Asian Americans.
Wasn't that the latest charge?
So how come they're so medically insured?
You note, by the way, in all of this, there is no responsibility on the part of the individual to get medically insured, for example.
It doesn't even occur.
Okay.
Does the Latino American include the illegal immigrant?
I don't know.
I'm just posing the question.
I want you to understand this is what the foremost propagandist of the left on race is writing in the latest issue of The Atlantic to prove that America is racist.
Next.
Native people are nearly three times as likely as white people to be impoverished.
Okay.
Amazon donated hundreds of copies of Imran X. Kendi book to Virginia Public School.
I'm not surprised.
Amazon owns the Washington Post, which just had an incredibly evil piece up.
Okay, so this is another proof of what a racist country it is.
Native Americans are more likely to be impoverished.
And how is that caused by the society?
The life expectancy of black Americans, 74 and a half years, is much lower than that of white Americans, 78.6.
It's four years lower.
Can that possibly have anything to do with black behaviors, or is it a function of white racists?
The case is not made here.
But all of this proves America is racist.
But I have some other statistics when we come back.
I'm sorry, young man.
Hey, folks.
One of the most effective things that I have ever advertised, ever endorsed, is relief factor.

Sometime next year, the Supreme Court will decide whether to continue to find the right to abortion in the Constitution or give up on its deeply misguided half-century-long effort to do so.
The court will have before it the case of Dobbs v.
Jackson Women's Health Organization and the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law that banned abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The court will also be deciding on whether or not to uphold a poor decision made at the intellectual low ebb of its post-war era.
The court made law at Roe v.
Wade, and Justice Blackmun's opinion was simply awful in its reasoning.
In fact, I would argue the 1973 was the point of origin of the culture wars, because in Roe, the court seized territory reserved for the state legislatures.
Will the court let us have peace at the cost of admitting that its ambition to rule was the real spark for the fire's long burning?
Wisdom, in the express language of the Constitution, counsels it to quit the field.

So, I was right.
It's the latest column.
Our latest piece in the Atlantic, latest issue.
The proof that America is racist.
The proofs.
So the life expectancy of black Americans is much lower, it's four years lower, than that of white Americans.
Just a constant description.
So why, the question is very simple, why does that mean America is racist?
Why is the implication that that is caused by...
Let's see, why do we have a phone line on, Sean?
One that I cannot...

Why do we immediately assume that it is whites maltreating blacks?
That is the cause.
Is there anything in black behavior that might be responsible for a four-year lower rate?
White Americans account for 77% of the voting members of the 117th Congress, even though they represent 60% of the U.S. population.
Thank you.
That's a statement of racism?
White Americans are 77% of the voting members of Congress.
But they represent only 60% of the U.S. population.
So Congress should be composed of people who, according to the percentage That they are of the population.
So, notice he doesn't note the black membership of Congress.
Blacks make up 13% of the population.
Are they 13% of Congress?
I don't know.
But it would be worth looking up.
And the fact that he doesn't mention that is, I think, indicative of a sleight of hand here.
Anyway, what does that mean?
Jews are 2%, I think, of the population of the United States.
They're not 2% of Congress.
So, what does that prove?
That America is the most pro-Jewish country that has ever existed?
By the way, it is.
That's the irony.
No, not on the left.
Jews vote left, but the left thinks the Jews are wildly overrepresented in Congress.
Jews think Israel and Hamas are moral equivalents.
Excuse me, the left thinks.
Did I say Jews think?
I don't know.
The left thinks.
Did I say Jews think?
Good thing I hear myself.
It's important.
There was a saying when I was in school as a kid.
I learned all these aphorisms in Hebrew which have shaped my life.
I need to write them down because they truly, truly shaped my life.
One of them was, I won't say it in Hebrew, but in English, it's your ears should hear what your mouth says.
It made a big impact on me as a kid.
I took the aphorism seriously.
So anyway, so these are his lists of proofs that America is racist.
Just as you can recognize an impoverished country by its widespread poverty, you can recognize a racist country by its widespread racial inequity.
Really?
So is it racist that the NBA... They poo-poo this analogy, but it's a perfect analogy.
It's perfect.
Is the NBA wildly disproportionately black because of racism?
Does inequity prove racism than it does in the NBA? Is hockey, which is overwhelmingly white, is it overwhelmingly white because of racism?
In the United States, black college graduates owe an average of $25,000 more in student loans than white college graduates.
Why does that prove racism?
All of this, I'm going to use one of their favorite words, is a denial of black agency.
I can't believe I used the word without being sarcastic.
Yes, blacks have nothing to do with anything to do with how they live.
Is there any other group of whom that would be said?
You are not responsible in any way for any adverse statistic affecting your life.
It's interesting.
My wife, my live-in corrector, often says to me, do not say that America is not systemically racist.
Because the left is systemically racist.
That's true.
This is a perfect example.
Blacks, you are only victims.
You have no power to make a better life.
None.
Everything about you, everything, how long you live, your student loans is determined by the white man.

And I was trying to picture myself in that situation.
I would imagine that I could look at the United States and see it as racist and so see it as a better option than living in some very difficult.
Very difficult circumstances in Africa.
Right.
So that's why...
Oh, if you didn't finish, go on.
Basically rolling the dice.
In other words, it's a matter of risk evaluation, I guess.
Right.
And how many of them returned to Africa after moving here?
If it's just a use of the dice, then...
It's amazing how often, how overwhelmingly, the dice turn out with great numbers.
I think I was making a statistical possibility point.
I certainly agree with you.
I certainly agree with you.
Right.
So here's an example.
I think the best is, again, a Jewish example.
So Jews did not move to Germany.
We all acknowledge that.
Because they knew how bad it was.
And by the way, they had much worse circumstances in Russia and Eastern Europe than blacks have in black Africa.
Jews had more reason to move to Germany than blacks have to move to America today.
They were being beaten and killed in pogroms in Eastern Europe.
So they still didn't move to Germany because that was systemically racist.
Unlike America.
Right.
So, okay, so that's one example.
But I'm going to continue with that one for one moment, because my father, as I've often noted, my father was American-born, and he wrote his senior class thesis on anti-Semitism in America, of which there was a lot.
However, he knew, and I was raised to believe, and he was right.
This was the best country Jews ever lived in outside of their own country, Israel.
ever this issue you at for general dot com sometime next year the Supreme Court will decide whether to continue to find the right to abortion in the Constitution or give up on its deeply misguided half century long effort to do so
The court will have before it the case of Dobbs v.
Jackson Women's Health Organization and the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law that banned abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The court will also be deciding on whether or not to uphold a poor decision made at the intellectual low ebb of its post-war era.
The court made law at Roe v.
Wade.
And Justice Blackmun's opinion was simply awful in its reasoning.
In fact, I would argue the 1973 was the point of origin of the culture wars.
Because in Roe, the court seized territory reserved for the state legislatures.
Will the court let us have peace at the cost of admitting that its ambition to rule was the real spark for the fire's long burning?

Scripturally, God gives His people authority that if you are operating in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit, you have authority.
But most people think like, well, that's presumptuous.
I don't have any authority.
I'm just going to hide back here.

That's not biblical, folks.

No, don't mistake arrogance for passion.

They act as though it's about building up the kingdom of America.
And clearly...
That's not what we're seeing.
So how do you explain that?
Well, you know, CNN recently come to our church and said, are you a Christian nationalist?
They love to throw that terminology around.
I said, if you mean by that, that I love the nation and I follow Jesus Christ, then absolutely.
But to them, those are two terms that are irreconcilable.
They can't understand how can you love God and love the nation.
My question is, how can you not love God and still not love the nation?
Because he's a God of nations.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The God of Israel.
And I mean, the gospel, redemption is for...
And so I think if you're going to be a believer, you ought to love the nation.
You ought to stand up.

For the whole of the Cold War, was there ever a moment?
From the Berlin blockade of 1948 until the collapse of the Berlin Wall on November 9th, 1989, was there one moment in that ideological standoff where 43% of the eastern seaboard's gas supply was shut down by Russians?
Just once!
I'm not talking about OPEC and Carter and price rising and gouging and a cartel activity out of the Middle East.
I'm talking about actions by the Soviet Union that led to empty gas stations and gas lines.
Was there?
Not once.
And that was the real Cold War.
But now, you, Joe Biden, you think, oh no, that lovely, lovely KGB colonel, he doesn't want a new Cold War.
Then what happened a month ago, here, in the nation's capital, when more than 80% 80% of the gas stations had no gasoline.
How's that for a real Cold War?
How's the fact that there is a large part of the sovereign nation of Ukraine, called the Crimea, which belongs, belongs now, through force, through the use of military might, to the Russian Federation?
Not because of some plebiscite, not because of some civil war, because Russia took it.
By force.
How is it that there are still Russian troops across Syria meddling?
Oh, yes, they're just contractors.
They're private citizens.

We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
In part because my agenda is very clear.
I want men and women to understand each other better and get along better.
I am not a man fan and I am not a woman fan.
I am a good person fan.
And there you go.
I think in the divine scheme of things for every jerky male, there is a jerky female.
The question is, do they only marry each other?
No, that's the problem.
That's one of the problems inherent to the human condition.
All right, y'all.
So, a slightly...
I was going to say risque subject, but I don't know if it's risque, but I try to talk about every aspect of male-female life.
So here's one that I, as you know, I divide the happiness ultimate issues hour and male-female, but especially male-female, the others much less so, I think, between shows where I offer you my ideas and you react.
With your ideas or challenging mine or agreeing with mine, or I just throw out a question and then I react to your reactions.
This is the latter.
Today is the latter case.
So here is the question.
We are told over and over, and I'll add one, and over, that female models I don't mean moral models or character models or professional models, but I mean models of using their bodies as models, like Victoria's Secret models.
They have a negative effect on vast numbers of women, especially young girls, because they see quote-unquote perfect bodies And that causes them to have bad self-image and even eating disorders.
This is what every one of your kids is taught at college.
And so Victoria's Secret, this is what comes to mind, has now announced a complete change.
It's no longer going to have its famous...
Model shows, I guess they were annual.
They're called angels, thank you.
Ah, angels.
No more angel shows, but now women of all body types.
A new sexy.
Right, well, I know they hired the U.S. soccer star, but she has a perfect body.
She's an athlete.
It's somewhat absurd to use her as the model.
I can't stand that woman, Megan Rapinoe.
She hates this country, and my feeling toward her is as she has towards the country.
So that's a separate issue.
But it's a rather phony argument to use.
We're going to give you regular bodies and then use her as the example.
She doesn't have a regular body.
She has a quote-unquote perfect body.
So, I mean, who on the soccer team does not?
That's the nature of male and female athletes is they have great bodies.
Okay, so anyway.
So the question is...
I have two questions, actually.
One is, what's going to happen to Victoria's Secret?
Will people watch model shows of very heavy women in swimsuits?
By the way, they have, nobody watches, or very few watch male model shows as well.
And I would suspect that people are as uninterested in very heavy male models modeling bathing suits.
Nevertheless, this is the new sexy, as they put it, and it is all based on the allegedly negative impact of Barbie doll figures and models like Victoria's Secret on young girls and women generally.
Do you agree that it has a negative impact?
1-8 Prager 776 and therefore, by the way, should be abolished.
That which is what they're doing.
Look, I spoke about the abolition of...
Start calling, by the way, 1-8-Prager-776-877-243-7776.
I spoke about the removal of the swimsuit competition against the wishes of nearly all of the contestants, by the way.
I'll give you a very interesting example.
My mother-in-law has a very dear friend who is an evangelical Christian, very active.
Religious, decent, decent man who lives in another state.
I won't say which state.
Anyway, he happened to mention, I heard him on speakerphone, literally that day, this week, his daughter was named Miss, and then the name of the state that they live in.
I'm not going to say it now on the radio.
And it was fascinating to me that this religious, committed Christian, I'm sure his daughter, There's not belief in premarital sex, for example.
Would be so thrilled that his daughter was Miss and Phil in the state.
And there is a swimsuit competition on the state level.
There's no swimsuit competition on the national level because it's considered demeaning to women.
I don't understand why it's demeaning to women.
I think it's one of the made-up problems.
People on the left are devoid of meaningful ideals in their life, so they make up meaningful things, like fighting racism in a racist country, like fighting sexism in a sexist country, fighting swimsuit competitions.
This troubles them.
Why would a committed Christian be okay with his daughter in a swimsuit competition for the Miss whatever?
Because he's healthy, that's why.
That's the reason.
As I pointed out, when America was much more religious, it was much more accepting of swimsuit competitions.
issues.
It's secular America that can't stand swimsuit competitions.
As a general rule, I have found all of my life that the religious are healthier than the non-religious.
There are many unhealthy religious people, and there are many individually healthy secular people.
However, the societies that they produce, there's no comparison.
And I'm especially referring to Christian America, of which I have been a fan.
And I say that as a committed, observant Jew.
1-8 Prager 776-877-243-7776 I think a healthy girl growing up can entertain the fact that she may not look like a model and not cut herself or enter into an eating disorder.
She has other issues that have moved her to do that.
Not the presence of Of Victoria's Secret angels.

Well, look, I mean, he has made clear that We're not editing anything here.
It's actual pause.
The answer is, I believe he has in the past essentially acknowledged that there are certain things that he would do or did do.
But look, when I was asked that question on air, I answered it honestly.
But I don't think it matters a whole lot in terms of this next meeting we're about to have.

This is the Male Female Hour because it is Wednesday.
And as I pointed out last week, in my fairly regular adventure into the absurd, I picked Wednesday because it begins with the word wed.
And it is really a shame that the cameras are not on Triple G at this time.
Who is holding his head in the hope that it does not hit the table.
I think that's a great point.
The male-female hour is on Wednesday.
Yes, it is.
Because I am a fan of the wedded proposition.
The subject today...
is the Victoria's Secret model genre and its alleged negative effect on many women, especially young women, especially girls.
And that's the question on the table.
Is that true?
Why is it true?
And the other is Victoria's Secret is now allegedly going to models of all sizes in an attempt to redefine sexy.
And how do you think that will turn out?
Okay, let's see.
So right now, very interesting, we have all the lines...
Oh, we just cleared a line.
How do you like that?
Well, we have divided views.
So let's begin with Gina in Westmont, Illinois.
Thank you for calling, Gina.
Good morning.
How are you?
I just wanted to say I love listening to your show.
And on most matters, I totally agree.
On this one, I don't.
I'm a mother of two daughters.
And I think not only...
I mean, you could go on, I think, most social media magazines.
It does have a negative effect.
I think girls feel pressure to look a certain way.
So I think these angel models, you know, when women or females, you know, at a young age are looking at this, they do feel that they're not good enough.
So I would agree that models of all sizes would be good.
So that's my concurment.
I have a daughter who does have an eating disorder and it started in high school because she was a little chunkier than most of her friends and that made her insecure.
So she either went to bulimia or anorexia?
Am I inferring correctly?
Okay.
How is she now, by the way?
I still think she struggles and she's a young adult.
So, do you think, and I want you to understand, I didn't really take a position on this matter as much as I'm asking to learn.
As you know, I do that periodically on the show, so this is a good example.
And I don't have a daughter, so I'm really learning from parents on this.
Do you, if there were no models, The profession were abolished.
Would your daughter still have or not have an eating disorder?
You know, that's hard to say because I do think whether it's models or magazines or social media, if we didn't promote...
Right, but how could that happen?
Well, that I don't know.
There's no time since the history of the photograph that there hasn't been, since the history of artwork, that women were not portrayed in the way that that society found to be sexy.
Right, but now we know, right?
So there are studies.
Well, okay.
Do me one favor.
Never cite studies to me.
I don't think the people who make them are honest.
I'm just saying how it's affected my children.
Right, right.
That's what I want to know.
I want to know your experience.
I respect you and your view.
So, again, see, I don't know if there's any way around pressures in life.
Correct.
The idea that...
Okay, go ahead.
I would think I'm then having models of all sizes because it's not one, because, right, sexy is in the eye of the beholder.
Right, but there is, there seems to be, with variations, I saw once a computer put out, drew pictures of models.
Of the most desirable type of female figure or body for a Uruguayan, for an American, for an African, it was an Asian.
They were all, they didn't differ from one another dramatically.
There seems to be a fairly consistent element that's sort of built in.
But anyway, my only point, and I really, I'm very touched you called, and I thank you.
Good luck with your daughter.
See, I'm asking this question.
Is our opposition, or society's opposition, to the female models that are ubiquitous, Instagram and...
All the social media and the angels, what is it called?
Show, I guess.
The model show for Victoria's Secret.
The swimsuit competition, cheerleaders, the ubiquity of quote-unquote sexy females.
So that produces a certain pressure.
Which I fully understand.
But maybe we live in a society where we want our kids to have no challenges.
See, that's what I'm also concerned with.
Yes, so there is a pressure on girls to look a certain way, but there's a pressure on boys to make a living.
And if they don't do it, they end up in some basement playing video games all day.
Life is filled with pressure.
Filled.
So do you abolish the source of pressure?
That's our new idea.
As opposed to, this is how you deal with it.
I have other thoughts, and so do you.
and we'll return.

Hi, Dennis.
I have two daughters, 14 and 15, and I don't let them get distracted with what a virtual secret model looks like.
That's not for us.
Just like when I wanted to try out for the Red Cats and I didn't meet the Hutt requirements, I went out and I tried out for the Mary Danvers.
So you have to distract them with things like the door playing the violin, I play the cello, we like to paint, we like to horseback ride, so it's not for everybody.
And no, it's not negative.
I don't see the Victoria's Secret model when we show as negative.
It's just not for us.
Well, thank you.
I'd like to raise, and that was important, I thank you.
I'd like to raise another matter which is so sensitive in our day, and it would have been yawned at 50 years ago, but that's true about so much.
See, do you want to convey, and this may be a completely separate question, but it's related.
Do you want to convey to your daughter that looks don't matter?
Only brains do.
Only non-physical things matter.
Maybe I'll do a separate male-female hour on that question.
Is that the message?
That is the message that the elites are really ultimately aiming for.
That female looks should be as insignificant as, to a large extent, male looks are.
A really, really good-looking male has advantages, there's no question, but that's pretty rare.
And, obviously, men don't show as much of their skin as women do in life, as a general rule.
And the rule comports with nature.
In the human species, the female is the physical seducer.
Men seduce in other ways.
Sometimes physical, but I'm talking about in general.
In peacocks, the male is beautiful.
In humans, the female is.
And I would not raise a daughter to believe that looks don't matter.
I don't think it is a...
It's not honest.
And it's not helpful.
Relief Factor is helpful.

Whereas I've seen a lot of girls in high school that change, you know, decide to change gender, and we don't, you know, if there's an image that the left claims can make you want to be like the model, They don't say that about this.
They say there's something inherent in the decision to want to be a boy.
But we also know that even post-transition, there's a higher rate of suicide among the people that actually transitioned than the people that had the desire and didn't.
Well, that's a very interesting thought.
I mean, the increase in girls saying that they're boys is...
It's 400 times, I think, the number that it was a few years ago.
Something is triggering that, to use their word.
And where do they get that image from?
Look, it is hard to be an adolescent.
And do you know why?
Because it's hard to be a human.
Life is difficult.
The more young people understand that at an early age, the better it is.
In my book on happiness, I have a book on the importance of having a tragic view of life.
It has contributed immensely to my happiness.
Because instead of lamenting life's travails, I have celebrated All the lucky things that have happened in my life.
So, that may apply here.
Yes, there's pressure to look good.
By the way, why is that bad?
Why is it bad for a young girl to feel pressured to look good?
Why is it bad for a young boy to feel pressured to make a living?
Why is it bad to feel pressured?
The point in life is not the removal of pressures.
It is the handling of pressures.
Okay, let's see here.
Okay, well, we'll take another view again of the negative part.
In California, it's Lisa.
Hello.
Hi, good morning.
Can you hear me?
I hear you very well.
Thank you.
I want to thank you for presenting this important discussion.
I wish I had heard this discussion when I was a younger girl.
I'm 58. I've raised three daughters.
They're 21, 22, and 24. And I'll tell you, as a young person myself, My first introduction that I did not measure up physically was when I was only five years old, and I found a Playboy magazine that my father had.
And I saw that, and immediately, maybe it's just me, but I felt very insignificant.
And then I thought, well, maybe when I grow up, I'll be beautiful like these girls in the magazines that my father enjoyed.
But I never developed.
She was a very small-chested, very thin girl.
And so I always felt kind of masculine, even though I'm, you know, 5'6", actually small-framed.
But I guess one of the things I'd like to share with you is that my two youngest daughters believe that beauty is a male concept, and so they reject that concept that society gives to them.
Kind of thankful for that because I accepted.
I beat myself up many years trying to look like a Victoria's Secret model or whatever and actually went and had surgery, which nearly killed me.
And so for me, it was a very negative impact.
So when I had daughters, I was concerned about that impact.
And so I actually had them in dance and musical theater and theater and things like that to put them in front of the public, to put them in front.
So that they would build confidence in themselves.
And I think that sounds kind of ironic, but one of the things they learned in theater, in musical theater, is that every look counts.
No one is dismissed because they don't measure up to a certain beauty standard.
I mean, there's certain roles that you can play based on how you look or whatever, but they actually learn to appreciate the differences amongst themselves and amongst their peers.
Although I can tell you that them also being small-chested, they do comment about that.
They do think that they lack.
But then they go back, because now I guess the behind is a big beauty feature if it's large.
So they'll say, well, at least we have eyes.
Okay, you've been terrific, which is why I didn't say anything.
You've been very eloquent.
So I have a question.
For Lisa and for everybody else when we return Streaming on Salem now as Galileans we witnessed his first miracle This is the most profound Discovery in human history this discovery proves that he is coming back

Scripturally, God gives His people authority that if you are operating in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit, you have authority.
But most people think like, well, that's presumptuous.
I don't have any authority.
I'm just going to hide back here.
And I think...
That's not biblical, folks.
We're supposed to act.
We're called the boldness, not belligerence.
I don't have to be a jerk for Jesus, but the world says, oh, you're just arrogant.
No, don't mistake arrogance for passion.
I'm passionate about standing up and fighting for the Bible, and in this case, the Constitution, because we do have a republic to save.
There's no doubt about that.
There are a lot of people in the evangelical world that they don't understand this.
They almost seem naively to say, like, well, we don't want to fight for America.
As though that's a dirty thing.
In other words, they act as though it's about building up the kingdom of America.
And clearly, that's not what we're saying.
So how do you explain that?
Well, you know, CNN recently come to our church and said, are you a Christian nationalist?
They love to throw that terminology around.
I said, if you mean by that, that I love the nation and I follow Jesus Christ, then absolutely.
But to them, those are two terms that are irreconcilable.
They can't understand how can you love God and love the nation.
My question is, how can you not love God and still not love the nation?
Because he's a God of nations.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The God of Israel.
And I mean, the gospel, redemption is for all nations.
And so I think if you're going to be a believer, you ought to.
You ought to love the nation.
You ought to stand up.
Because we do have a church issue.
Judgment doesn't begin at the White House.
Judgment begins at God's house.
And because God's house is not in order, because we're not humbling ourselves and repenting, I believe we're watching this horrible tidal wave of a tyrannical government take over this nation.

It's a very, obviously, sensitive issue, completely understandably.
But I have a question, not just for Lisa, but for anybody.
What if you were assured by some divine promise, because no humans could assure you of this, but what if you were certain that a breast enhancement surgery would increase her chances of meeting a good man for marriage by 50%?
In other words, it would attract 50% more men.
Are there women who go crazy in the cosmetological surgery world, cosmetic surgery world?
Yes.
There are people who go crazy on running, but running is generally good for people.
There is no good thing that cannot be overdone.
But I think it is naive to...
Yearn for a world in which female looks don't matter.
There has never been such a world, but of course, today's great verb is reimagine.
Right?
We'll reimagine a city with very few police that will still be safe.
We'll reimagine a world in which women don't care how they look.
And imagine that they will still attract as many possible good men into their life.
But these are all naive dreams.
No one is saying all that matters is looks.
But a lot of people are saying looks don't matter.
That's not true.
We should do a part two and part three of this.

He's very wise.
With that being said, I don't agree with this decision.

And here's the kicker.
The New York Times said the private part out loud.
Striking down the Affordable Care Act would have expanded the ranks of uninsured in the United States by about 21 million people, a nearly 70% increase according to the recent estimates from the Urban Institute.
That has nothing to do with the constitutionality of the law.
The potential cost of the law has nothing to do with whether or not the law that was passed is legal.
Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the greatest Supreme Court justices in American history, said that he even made measures and decisions as a Supreme Court justice that he knew the outcome would be something he would not be happy with.
He knew the outcome would be something that he would not think is right, but he made the decision anyway because he was a strict originalist and textualist.
So the U.S. Supreme Court...
In some ways, looks like it's bended to popular will.
The new challenge was largely successful in lower courts.
A federal judge in Texas ruled that the entire law is invalid.

Sometime next year, the Supreme Court will decide whether to continue to find the right to abortion in the Constitution or give up on its deeply misguided half-century-long effort to do so.
The court will have before it the case of Dobbs v.
Jackson Women's Health Organization and the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law that banned abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The court will also be deciding on whether or not to uphold a poor decision made at the intellectual low ebb of its post-war era.
The court made law at Roe v.
Wade.
And Justice Blackmun's opinion was simply awful in its reasoning.
In fact, I would argue the 1973 was the point of origin of the culture wars.
Because in Roe, the court seized territory reserved for the state legislatures.
Will the court let us have peace at the cost of admitting that its ambition to rule was the real spark for the fire's long burning?
Wisdom and the express language of the Constitution counsels it to quit the field.

So, here's one from the Daily Wire.
Decade-old tweet has Megan Rapinoe under fire.
The new face of Victoria's Secret, Tarek talking about that, and star of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, Megan Rapinoe, came under fire as a decade-old tweet resurfaced.
You look Asian with those closed eyes, she wrote in May of 2011. She was replying to an account that no longer exists, and it belonged to a former U.S. soccer player, another member of her team.
Rapinoe told the New York Times that Victoria's Secret's old way of selling their products was patriarchal, sexist.
Viewing not just what it meant to be sexy, but what the clothes were trying to accomplish through a male lens and through what men desired.
And it was very much marketed toward younger women.
As a gay woman, she said, I think a lot about what we think is sexy, and we are afforded the ability to do that, because I don't have to wear the traditional sexy thing to be sexy.
And I don't think the traditional thing is sexy when it comes to my partner or people I've dated.
This is what goes for wisdom in America today.
So she's gay, so she is not interested in attracting men.
So her comments on what attracts men or women would seem to be irrelevant.
Her interest is in attracting a woman, and presumably, for many, being in a bikini will not do the job.
That's what she's implying, and she may well be right.
I think that among lesbians, there are a whole host of things that attract one to another.
Having a lesbian tell us what is sexy for men and dismissing it because it is sexy for men, this is, as I said, what passes for wisdom in our time.
Rapinoe has made headlines throughout the years saying, I'll probably never sing the national anthem again, signing a letter demanding the divestment from police and claiming to be disrespected and dismissed because she is a woman.
C is one of these people that is very close to always being wrong.
It is...
There is an amazing thing in life of a consistency where people are so consistent in their being wrong, whatever the issue is, you would think That it wouldn't apply to all issues, but it does.
So, poor thing.
She's truly an oppressed figure in American life.
This is her self-image.
Oppressed as a woman, oppressed as a woman athlete, not making as much money as male athletes.
And oppressed as a gay woman.
This is what we have created on the left.
The desire to see oneself as oppressed.
I can't think of a worse thing to desire, frankly.
But...
I'm in a minority.
Or at least I'm not on the left.
So she is, let's see, she'll never sing the national anthem again.
She demands divestment from police and claims to be disrespected and dismissed because she is a woman.
I'm a member of the LGBTQ community with pink hair.
I'm also a professional athlete.
And I've helped, along with all of my teammates virtually here today, one teammate literally here today, Win four World Cup championships and four Olympic gold medals for the United States.
Despite those wins, I've been devalued.
I've been disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman.
How is that so?
Really, how is that so?
She's been dismissed?
The women's soccer team championships have been dismissed?
So what is her basis?
Here we go.
I've been told that I don't deserve any more than less because I am a woman.
You see, despite all the wins, I'm still paid less than men who do the same job that I do.
For each trophy, of which there are many, and for each win, for each tie, and for each time that we play, it's less.
So the question with regard to this person is, how could she say something so patently stupid?
Do you know why she gets paid less?
Because more people are interested in watching men play sports, for the most part, than women.
Just as to use her current venture in the new form of Victoria's Secret model, Far more men and women are interested in seeing women in swimsuits than men in swimsuits.
So female models get paid a lot more than male models.
Is it because of an anti-male bias?
No, it's because they make more income for the people who hire them.
That's it.
She's not paid less because she's a woman.
She's paid less because she brings in less money to her employers.
We do the exact same thing men do.
Yes, but there is something you don't do exactly as men do.
bring in an audience.
Do you realize...
If you went to college, what I'm saying to you is new?
I swear on all that I deem holy, I believe schools make you stupid.
You have to be stupid not to have seen the idiocy of what she said.
Yes, you had to learn.
How to believe what she said made sense when it's nonsense.
We do the same thing men do.
We play soccer.
They play soccer.
Yes, but more people want to watch men play soccer.
Not because of sexism.
It's just because they want to watch male sports.
Same with basketball.
Women play basketball and men play basketball.
But more people want to watch men play basketball than women play basketball.
That's the way it is.
Nothing will change that.
Nothing.
ESPN can promote all it wants women's basketball, and it will have an effect, but a minimal effect.

And I lost track a little bit of you, and I've admired what you've done, particularly with young people, to sort of counteract the indoctrination they tend to get in schools.
I had no idea that you would say that.
Needless to say, it means a great deal to me.
Yes, I still write a column every week.
And Jewish World Review, to their great credit, is one of those that carries it.
So I'm just a reminder.
So why are you in the news right now?
Well, I wrote an article for a small Western Mountain newspaper about my road to cancellation.
And I think it struck a nerve.
I think a lot of people are feeling...
Outside of the loop, canceled, threatened.
They have fear.
They're being called names.
And I just got increasingly worried about what was going on.
And it sort of built over time until I finally decided, you know, if not me, who?
Who's going to speak out?
That's correct.
That's right.
If not me, who?
That is exactly right.
Did any event happen?
The Daily Mail covered your case.
That's how I found out about it.
Stanford professor Joel Peterson revealed student called him racist for standing for the flag, and another said white people should be eradicated as he, that's you, warns Ivy League pupils have swapped education for indoctrination.
So is that the content of your piece in the Deseret News?
Well, that's picking out, I think, some of the more notable comments and experiences.
Those were clearly included in it, but there's a whole progression that kind of goes from identity politics to social justice warriors to accusations of white supremacy or racism to shaming students to not really having an open forum.
You know, I think the thing that troubles me the most is At the university level, there's no longer this opportunity for dialogue.
So you have all these brilliant people who could help us sort through these tough social issues, and they're shut down.
Speakers are booed on campus.
Some are kept off campus.
There are certain opinions that are not allowed.
And so I was really troubled by that.
And I heard about the University of Chicago, who basically said, we are going to encourage free speech.
And if you're a student, then you get into the University of Chicago.
And you are offended by some of the things.
If you're not triggered, then you're at the wrong place.
You should go someplace else.
And so that's kind of a celebration of this idea of open, honest dialogue that I really want to see return to the campus.
Were you in trouble prior to this article?
I'm trying to understand the chronology.
No, in fact, I had won all kinds of awards there, and my classes were oversubscribed.
And I just got a call from the dean that there had been a formal complaint filed by a couple of triggered students.
Triggered by your article?
No, no.
Triggered by comments I'd made in class.
Right.
Well, that's what I'm saying then.
So you were in trouble prior to the article?
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
So give me the timeline.
When did that begin?
So, there's kind of been a slow burn.
When Donald Trump was elected president, I had a couple of groups of students come to me and say, we're triggered.
We cannot do our papers.
We cannot take our finals, etc.
And that was kind of interesting to me.
And then I read that this was happening in campuses all over.
Then I had some students come and say to me that they'd kept track of how many men and women I'd called on in classes, and it turns out that in two of the four classes I teach, I had called on more men than women.
So I realized I'm being monitored.
You did that?
I am speaking to somebody who did that?
I am triggered.
Stay on with me.
This is riveting.
There's so much I want to hear from this man.
Remarkable man.

It feels like every day this week I've come into the studio with some bleak news.
Did you see President Biden completely shut down while being asked a question by a member of the media this week about Vladimir Putin?
And then his answer was completely incoherent.
This is the 46th president of the United States.
This is the man who's representing the country to the world.
You have to hear this.
Cut one.
Here was President Biden being asked by a reporter, what do you say about Vladimir Putin?
You've got to hear this.
This is unbelievable.
What do you say to Vladimir Putin?
The answer to the first question?
Hi, everybody. everybody.
I am just delighted to have this man on.
I might add that he is now a professor at the business school at Stanford, but he was the former CEO of JetBlue.
And let me tell you, Joel Peterson, you were the CEO of a remarkable airline.
Let me correct you there, Dennis.
I was the chairman of the board.
At JetBlue.
I was the CEO of a real estate development company in a past life, but I was the chairman of the board at JetBlue.
All right.
You were the chairman of the board of a remarkable airline.
Let me put it that way.
Thank you.
So you went to Stanford and you wrote this piece.
I'm bringing everybody up to speed here, including myself.
But that's why I asked.
And this is not something that happened last week.
Your article happened last week, but this has been, as you called it, a slow burn.
Your realization of what is happening at our universities, including the so-called elite universities like Stanford, where they have swapped education for indoctrination.
Those are your words.
So it began with your saying, when students came over to you when Donald Trump was elected and said they were triggered, That was the first inclination that I had.
So did you sort of...
What happened?
Did your jaw drop?
I'm trying to picture you with students coming over.
Did you even know what triggered meant?
I may have read about it.
I don't recall.
But I could see that they were really troubled and having a hard time concentrating.
And so I listened.
I tried to empathize with them.
And then I said, you know...
In adult life, you're getting into the business world here where people are not going to allow you to take time off for how you feel.
You've got a job to do, and I would say in school you've got a job to do, and that means you have a paper to complete and exams to take.
Oh, my God.
You know, if I may call you Joel, you should have been fired right then.
That response was so insensitive.
I'm triggered just hearing your response.
You mean society doesn't care about how they feel?
This is heresy.
People were burned at the stake for less.
Well, we've become a very feeling society.
People react based on their impulses rather than their analysis.
What was your second?
So that opened your mind up to something is awry.
What else happened?
Well, then it was when people started measuring identities and letting me know that I'd called on too many men or too many women or too many minorities or whatever.
So I could tell the things were being measured by identity.
And I had never even thought of that.
And I'm pretty aware that I'm no respecter of persons.
And so I didn't really worry much about that.
But then I was teaching a class where...
I had CEO guests, and they would come in and say, they'd be asked the race question and say, gosh, we've learned it's really smart to be colorblind.
We're just completely colorblind.
And the students were offended.
They felt like you should go out of your way to make exceptions.
And I said, you know, I actually hire people based on character, competence, and commitment.
And those are the things I hire them for.
I never hire based on race, on quotas, on things like that.
And so students turned me in.
They were triggered by it and felt like I should have been hiring based on race or quotas or things like that.
And I said, let's just add character, competence, and commitment to this new DEI standard that people are looking at.
And that triggered them.
So they turned me into the dean.
And what did the dean do?
So the dean called me.
And said, we've had a formal complaint, and I'd like to give you a chance to explain yourself.
And so I kind of explained what had gone on, and I said, you know, maybe this isn't the place where you want teachers like me.
And he said, no, I think we can get over this.
And then the next thing that happened was I read this student saying that white people should be eradicated, and I wondered if the deans or the university president had called her.
She's running for student government office, and I thought, That seems like a far more serious offense than anything I ever said.
And then I had a Jewish student...
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Before the Jewish student...
Wait, I don't understand.
A student running for student office said white people should be eradicated and nothing happened?
Yeah, nothing happened.
She's still running for student office as far as I know.
I've not really followed it, but I was surprised to see that reported on Twitter.
You know, a Stanford student posting that.
All right, now we're up to the Jewish student, yeah.
Yeah, so in any event, I started to talk with former students, alums, and just say, you know, I may not be going back to Stanford, whether by my own decision or Stanford's.
And one of them, a young Jewish student, said, you know, I have to tell you that I feel really threatened.
You know, there's enough anti-Semitism and enough sort of racism and racist comments that it's an uncomfortable place for me.
And I thought, you know what?
This is now an accumulation.
This is sort of a slow-burn cultural revolution that is quite toxic.
And I can't just, you know, stay quiet and leave and whatever.
I really have to speak out.
So I'll take some heat, for sure.
Because of the Deseret article.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the first I've really...
Right.
So I read that 200 professors wrote a letter.
What was it in support of or against?
So this was really trying to get the Chicago standard set.
You know, 80 universities have come out and said, we want free speech.
We want open debate.
We don't want guests booed.
This is a laboratory of ideas.
You know, I saw a debate after the meltdown in 2009 that was about, was Karl Marx right?
And it was a fascinating debate because it was respectful.
There were people that were arguing for free market capitalism and people arguing for Marxism.
And some good points were made on both sides, and the audience applauded both.
And a lot was learned.
To me, that's what a university should be.
So the 200 professors wrote in favor of openness?
You'll tell me as soon as we get back.

Sometime next year, the Supreme Court will decide whether to continue to find the right to abortion in the Constitution or give up on its deeply misguided half-century-long effort to do so.
The court will have before it the case of Dobbs v.
Jackson Women's Health Organization and the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law that banned abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The court will also be deciding on whether or not to uphold a poor decision made at the intellectual low ebb of its post-war era.
The court made law at Roe v.
Wade, and Justice Blackmun's opinion was simply awful in its reasoning.
In fact, I would argue the 1973 was the point of origin of the culture wars, because in Roe, the court seized territory reserved for the state legislatures.
Will the court let us have peace at the cost of admitting that its ambition to rule was the real spark for the fire's long burning?
Wisdom, and the express language of the Constitution, counsels it to quit the field.

But scripturally, God gives his people authority that if you are operating in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit, you have authority.
But most people think like, well, that's presumptuous.
I don't have any authority.
I'm just going to hide back here.
And I think...
That's not biblical, folks.
We're supposed to act.
We're called the boldness, not belligerence.
I don't have to be a jerk for Jesus, but the world says, oh, you're just arrogant.
No, don't mistake arrogance for passion.
I'm passionate about standing up and fighting for the Bible, and in this case, the Constitution, because we do have a republic to save.
There's no doubt about that.

cool.
Wrote a piece about what is happening at Stanford and elsewhere, The Closing of the Mind.
And I asked you about the 200 professors.
I want to clarify this.
They signed a petition to keep Stanford intellectually open.
Yeah, they really wanted to support the Chicago Declaration.
Okay, so was this coincidental to your piece or a result of it?
I think it was coincidental.
I think they happened to be thinking the same thing, and they wrote the university president advocating this.
And when my piece came out, several of them passed on to me that, you know, it's interesting that you would say this, Joel, because a number of us felt the same way.
Have you gotten any pushback as a result of your piece in Deseret News?
Well, it's interesting.
I think almost all of the feedback has been very positive in terms of sort of personal notes and friends and really dozens if not hundreds of people have written that.
But on the public forums, there's a lot of sort of scorched earth...
Commentary, where people don't know anything, but they call names and, you know, what goes on in the public square.
So what are you called mostly?
Racist?
Yeah, white supremacist, privileged.
White male is a pejorative.
It accounts for everything, apparently, today.
Did anybody at Stanford write against you?
No, Stanford has been quite supportive.
Former students, alumni, some have been former deans, former university presidents, other very prominent people have written all in support saying, you know, I'm really glad you spoke out.
This is actually one of the few good pieces of news I've had in the last year and a half.
I have one final question.
Why are the vast majority of CEOs of big companies in America such cowards?
Well, I'm not sure they're cowards as much as they are trying to measure the temperature of their customer base.
You know, I mean, it's their job to sort of respond to market pressures, and I think they sense that there's this movement.
I would call it a cultural revolution, a slow-burn cultural revolution.
And they're reading the tea leaves and saying this is the direction things are moving.
They also have to operate within a government framework that allocates resources and has power to do things.
And the government clearly has an agenda, so they want to fit under that agenda.
Fascinating.
And they don't want to create ways.
All right, that's another discussion for us.
I want to tell you that tens of millions of Americans thank you.
Well, thank you, Dennis, for all you do.
Appreciate it.
Okay, y'all.
