	Wednesday.
	And as I always remember, not always, it's actually come to my mind recently why I chose Wednesday for male-female hour because it is Wednesday.
	Oh my God, where did you find that?
	It's a talking camel?
	Well, then it's worthy of being broadcast.
	I apologize.
	Welcome to the show.
	Brett Weinstein, in case you didn't know, was a professor of biology, evolutionary biologist, held in high regard in the sciences, best of my knowledge, he's an atheist, lifelong liberal, and he, however, he...
	If he was on the left as opposed to being a liberal, he left the left because he demonstrated courage at Evergreen State, I believe that's the name, in Washington, when they announced one day that all non-blacks, or all whites specifically, leave the college for the day.
	And a lifelong civil rights proponent and liberal slash left, he would not leave the campus.
	He was cursed at, threatened.
	The police told him, it's so dangerous for you, don't show up.
	And he left Evergreen State, which has since suffered a decline in applicants.
	It should, needless to say, go out of business.
	But if every university that has become an intellectual and moral wasteland were to close down, there would be very few left.
	I will tell you about Yale a little later, a university that if my child got into with a scholarship, I would mourn the possibility that my child wanted to go.
	I'll tell you about Yale later.
	I'm back to Brett Weinstein.
	Brett Weinstein has a podcast.
	And the podcast is subsidized by viewers, listeners.
	Google, which owns YouTube, has demonetized his...
	Broadcast, his podcast.
	He cannot any longer have advertising revenue and support himself with that.
	What did he do?
	Think about it.
	What did he do that has rendered him incapable of making a living on the Internet because of Google slash YouTube?
	As a scientist, he noted that ivermectin saves lives.
	The corruption, the moral corruption at Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, is thorough.
	Moral people do not seem to work in the tech industry, in big tech.
	A profoundly sad observation on my part.
	But the immorality of these people has now reached a state where I do believe they are responsible for vast numbers of dead people in America.
	Yes.
	I said I would stake my reputation on the efficacy of ivermectin.
	And I wish they did the same.
	But being on the left means never having to apologize because nobody will hold you accountable.
	If your doctor will not prescribe ivermectin to you, leave that doctor.
	Your doctor is an ignoramus.
	Sweet, kind, fine person, though he or she may be, they're an ignoramus because they don't follow.
	The literature on ivermectin.
	I, who have no background in the natural sciences, know more about the case studies of ivermectin than your doctor who won't prescribe it.
	A doctor who won't prescribe it is lazy, is intellectually lazy.
	There is no There are no grounds on which your doctor can justify not having done it.
	Not having prescribed for you.
	June 21st, 2021. New study links ivermectin to large reductions in COVID-19 deaths.
	Epoch Times.
	The use of the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin could lead to large reductions in COVID-19 deaths.
	And may have a, quote, significant impact, unquote, on the pandemic globally, according to a recent preprint review based on peer-reviewed studies.
	For the study, published June 17th in the American Journal of Therapeutics, is your doctor familiar with this?
	If your doctor won't prescribe ivermectin, why do I, a non-scientist talk show host, know about the study?
	And your doctor who won't prescribe ivermectin to you, especially if you have early-stage COVID, or, as I do, I take it as a prophylactic.
	I've been around people.
	I've been hugging strangers maskless since last March.
	I have not worn a mask anywhere except on the rare occasions that I have gone indoors and did it as an act of courtesy and irrationality.
	I will get to the latest.
	Oh, you know, there's a, what is the word?
	For the new COVID? What is it?
	Variant.
	Oh, it's a variant.
	The Delta variant.
	I'm happy to say that the Gamma variant seems to have passed unnoticed.
	See, there is good news.
	Anyway, why doesn't your doctor know about the American Journal of Therapeutics June 17th?
	Or to put it more precisely, why do I and your doctor not?
	That's his job or her job.
	So, I don't doubt the sincerity and kindness of your long-time doctor.
	However, get rid of him or her as your doctor.
	If you want to continue to go out for drinks or bowling or hunting or skydiving, That's a non-issue.
	But as your doctor?
	No.
	A group of scientists reviewed the clinical trial use of ivermectin, which has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.
	In 24 randomized controlled trials involving just more than 3,400 participants, the researchers sought to assess the efficacy of ivermectin in reducing infection Or mortality in people with COVID-19 or at high risk of getting it.
	By the way, I'd like you to know who were the authors of the study.
	We should put it up at DennisPrager.com so you can send it to your doctor.
	And send me his or her or their.
	I don't know.
	Your doctor may be non-binary.
	There's nothing like a non-binary doctor.
	Because they treat both sexes so well, knowing both, intimately.
	Andrew Bryant, Teresa Laurie, Therese Dowswell, and Edmund Fordham, oh, not done, Scott Mitchell, Sarah Hill.
	These are all PhDs or MDs, okay, for the record.
	From Newcastle University, evidence-based consultancy, Bath, United Kingdom, they're all Brits.
	Emergency department, Princess Elizabeth Hospital, Guernsey, Division of Gastroenterology, Ulster Hospital, Belfast, etc.
	Okay, that's who did the study.
	Among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, I'm sorry, Among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, the risk of death was found to be 2.3% among those treated with the drug, compared to 7.8% for those who were not.
	I have so many studies like this that your doctor who won't prescribe ivermectin has no clue about.
	Your doctor listens to the CDC, which is corrupt because it gets so much money from the drug companies.
	And that's it.
	I could be a doctor for all intents and purposes if all I needed to do was listen to a CDC proclamation.
	I will give you more on Brett Weinstein when we return.
	I will give you more on Brett Weinstein.
	Instead, I think there was a massive story recently on whether or not Donald Trump had his pants on backwards or forwards or the cicada that fell on Joe Biden's neck.
	These were the major stories of the last couple of the last couple of days.
	It's crazy.
	And I mean, we've gotten to a point where 79 percent of independents, this was midway through Trump's presidency, of independents.
	These are not Republicans.
	Said that they believe that the press intentionally makes up fake stories and intentionally reports them.
	So the good news is people recognize it.
	Edelman trusts Barometer, trusts different...
	Gauges the trust of different institutions.
	They found the media is at their lowest point of trust.
	So the American people are wise to this.
	They do see the headlines.
	They are smart.
	But when you get to a point where big media colludes with big tech, that's where it becomes highly problematic.
	There was a poll out recently that I think it was one in six Biden voters would have changed their vote had they heard about the Hunter Biden story.
	They talk about influencing election.
	There's simply no doubt that Twitter and big media and big tech altogether.
	and it was the most interfered with election in american history and i mean the fact you could you could suppress the new york post story because we don't like what they have to say even though it ended up being totally true and then oh that was another lie that this was somehow russian intelligence right remember and by the way not only that last year we went through two impeachments right we went through one in ukraine and the other one was ridiculous and we had to go the whole phone call thing then a couple months later we had to deal with the whole virus and the lab leak
	and this if the democrats actually wanted to permanently sever the country they're doing a Yes, they are.

	The historical race theory actually is indoctrinating our children to tell them that if you are white, you are an oppressor.
	You are innately designed to be racist.
	And if you are black, you are oppressed.
	In other words, you will never have the opportunities that the white person has.
	And the little boy or the little girl that's sitting beside you in your classroom is the reason why.
	This is why it's such a divisive, and in itself, it's completely racist.
	Well, it is.
	I mean, that's what I love about people who scream racism are often guilty of the racism themselves.
	I mean, this is, it's the quintessential projection.
	How can you condemn children who've done nothing wrong?
	How do you make victims and oppressors out of kids in elementary school?
	Well, this is what fired me up.
	This is what got me initially so upset is that, you know, I watch my son.
	I watch my 10-year-old son play football with little boys from every race, from every walk of life, every religion.
	And I watch them as they help each other up on the field when they get knocked down.
	I watch them give each other high fives.
	I watch them do chest bumps, right?
	They are not...
	Thinking, oh, you're Black, so I can't touch you.
	Or, oh, you're less than me.
	Guess what?
	They've got Blacks, Whites, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews.
	They're all playing together.

	music Dennis Prager here.
	Discussing what has happened.
	I'd like to...
	We're going to try to get him on the show, actually.
	Brett Weinstein's story is a movie within a movie.
	In the movie, No Safe Spaces, one of the most important films.
	I know you think I'm biased.
	I'm not.
	I would admit it if I were.
	But it just is.
	On the issue of free speech.
	It's entertaining.
	Adam Kroll and I are the quote-unquote stars.
	I say quote-unquote because I don't like to think of myself as a star.
	It sort of rubs me the wrong way.
	But in any event, there's a big section on what happened to Brett Weinstein.
	At nosafespaces.com, it's all over the internet, except...
	Netflix did not allow it to be streamed.
	The censorship in America is unprecedented, and it's being done by private enterprise.
	Let's see here.
	Joe in Baltimore, Maryland.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Another day of cherry-picking on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Yeah.
	The largest study to date on ivermectin, Journal of the American Medical Association, March 2021. No benefit.
	I looked up your study, Bryant, and it says low certainty.
	It says the evidence supporting use of ivermectin is of low certainty.
	So the jury is out.
	Maybe you're right.
	Right.
	So are you a doctor?
	I think you're a doctor, right?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	So, if you had a patient who had early stage COVID, would you or would you not prescribe Ivermectin?
	Absolutely not.
	There's no evidence to support it to you.
	Is there evidence to support that it's dangerous?
	That's in the best interest of my patient.
	I'm sure you believe that.
	I'm sure you believe it, and I would ask your patient to go to another doctor.
	I don't doubt your sincerity, your kindness, your integrity.
	I just want you to know that.
	You just doubt the data.
	You just have to study from the Journal of the American Medical Association.
	Right, yes.
	I believe that the AMA is corrupt.
	So you're citing to me something that JAMA has lost all credibility in my eyes, as has Lancet.
	That you don't understand how profoundly corrupted they have been by the pharmaceutical companies is painful to me.
	What about the American Journal of Therapeutics?
	What do you think of the American Journal of Therapeutics?
	Apparently it hasn't been corrupted.
	You cited the Journal of the American Medical Association when it supported your position on pain medicine.
	I'm sorry, on what medicine?
	On pain medicine, and I agreed with you on that.
	Yes, so right, wait, yes.
	So you can cite somebody if you agree with them.
	Right, so, okay, I'll tell you my standard.
	If people...
	No, no, no, I'll tell you my standard.
	You don't have to tell me what you think my standard is.
	My standard is very simple.
	I tell people what I trust.
	Will I cite a non-trusted source?
	Of course.
	I would cite CNN if it had a source that supported something conservatives know to be true.
	Even though CNN lies with the regularity that you relieve yourself.
	Of course.
	I cite sources that I can't stand all the time.
	Not because they're reliable, but to give, as the Talmud would put it, I don't know the English, a kalvahomer.
	It's a logical construct.
	If this, then certainly this.
	If even Jammah, that corrupt source, says X, wow, then folks, that's it.
	That's the reason I do.
	Alright, I'm sorry.
	It's good.
	It's clarity.
	It will come out eventually.
	All of this to support it.
	There's no danger in ivermectin unless you want perfect safety.
	Ivermectin is as safe as aspirin.
	Okay, good.
	Look, I'm actually thanking for calling.
	The latest scientific drivel to come out is to wear masks because of the Delta variant.
	In L.A. County, where I, through God's sense of humor, ended up living, they are advocating that people, it's not yet a mandate, they're advocating people wear masks indoors, even if inoculated, even if vaccinated.
	I want you to all guess how many people have died in LA County of the Delta variant.
	Sean, I will use you as the man on the street.
	Still identify as male?
	I don't want to impose anything.
	Okay.
	So, they're telling us to wear masks again because of the Delta variant.
	I want you to guess how many people have died in LA County from the Delta variant.
	Should I give you a multiple choice, or do you want to throw out a number?
	You feel confident with 13. If 13 people died in all of LA County, would you reinstate masks?
	No.
	Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the actual number?
	Is zero.
	Zero.
	We have an astonishing fool named Barbara Ferrer who, for whatever reason, though not a doctor of medicine, tells people like Eric Garcetti, another fool, how to crush people's lives.
	That's all she does.
	She doesn't lose a penny.
	None of these government workers do.
	But they have made sure that small businesses lose their savings.
	That's all they have done.
	That is what I would say the medical establishment in the last year and a half has done one thing.
	Made sure people lose their businesses.
	It has actually done nothing else.
	Oh, well, it's not true.
	It has made sure that children lose a year of school.
	For no good reason.
	I wonder if my good doctor in Baltimore thinks that was a good decision.
	And whether that was supported by the American Medical Association.
	Children not go to school.
	I keep reading to you.
	Every week I read to you another terrible consequence of the last year and a half.
	Of the incredible increase in drug use.
	The incredible increase in child abuse.
	Of depression among young people.
	Hard to blame a young American for being depressed.
	Hard to blame them.
	Hey, young American, you live in a rotten society.
	It's always been rotten.
	And you will probably die of global warming.
	Because it's an existential threat.
	Existential.
	Zero have died of the Delta variant in L.A. County.
	Robin Upcarian of the L.A. Times wants us to wear a mask again.
	That's how I know it's a bad idea.
	Trending now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	It was the prayers of so many Christians that I could feel.
	And you're exactly right about the spiritual battle playing out.
	And I saw each and every day, like when the president got COVID-19, you'll remember they dubbed the Amy Coney Barrett nomination a super spreader event.
	Well, with some people...
	Having peace together is Franklin Graham was there that day.
	They were doing the big prayer march through Washington.
	And Franklin Graham and some of the greatest pastors of our time were in the White House meeting with the president.
	So you have COVID-19, the invisible enemy, lurking in this super spreader event, while you have these pastors who represent all things good and Christians praying through DC.
	And it was just such a clear juxtaposition of good being there, but evil lurking in our midst.
	But the good news is Christ can overcome all.
	And I get into that chapter by chapter.
	I want to just re-emphasize this.
	So you have a press briefing.
	This is not like a regular speech.
	I just want to have people understand this.
	So you have this, you're literally sitting on top of each other because of the way the White House configuration is.
	And there's like this sliding door.
	You walk out and you have probably 30 or 40 Rather high IQ, hyper-aggressive, wannabe celebrities with masks on.
	So all you see is their eyes.
	And you walk up to this podium and you're looking down at them and they're staring at everything you do.
	And then you have probably 15 or 20 cameras.
	And you know that there's 30 or 40 million people that will watch this.
	And then you have precisely what you have to say.
	And then you have to defend things that you didn't say on behalf of a bureaucrat or on behalf of an appointee.
	And if you say one word wrong, it could derail the entire mission of the federal government in the midst of a pandemic.
	But they don't care because that's success for them.
	Yeah, that is.
	And then you have to be precise throughout the entire thing.

	School board chair is a woman named Brenda Sheridan, and she's not backing down at all.
	In fact, indeed, they're doubling down on the school board.
	She said tonight, this is how she responded, apparently, on Tuesday.
	She said, quote, tonight, the Loudoun County school board meeting was interrupted by those who wish to use the public comment period.
	To disrupt our work and disrespect each other, she said, dog whistle politics will not delay our work.
	We will not back down from fighting for the rights of our students and continuing our focus on equity.
	Okay, let me ask you this.
	What is their work?
	Because for the past year and a half, it took us fighting to get our students to even get back into a hybrid.
	They couldn't even focus on our education.
	What is their work exactly?
	Their work exactly is to listen to their parents who actually are the constituents and the voices of their children.
	The school board is not the voice of my child.
	Well, and I'd like to also ask you about two fundamental aspects of her statement.
	Number one, how did you interrupt?
	Those who are using the public comment period, how did you disrupt their work, and how did you disrespect each other?
	Actually, we didn't disrespect each other.
	Actually, we started singing the Star-Spangled Banner when they got up.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	No wonder they were triggered.
	No wonder.
	Yeah, yeah, you can't have a flag.
	I mean, God forbid that we honor our country.
	God forbid we.
	God forbid we.
	God forbid we.
	I want to thank you all for...
	That's a good question.
	Well, thank you for listening.
	Zero people have died of the Delta variant, but L.A. County is nevertheless cold, and so is the Washington Post editorial page.
	In other words, the left, which lives in a state of fear of life.
	These people do not lead full lives, but they exemplify what I wrote in my column yesterday about the religion of be safe, of safetyism.
	I wrote at the end, you can live a full life.
	Or you can live a safe life, but you cannot live both.
	They want to be safe.
	That's it.
	And in the name of safety, you can deprive people of their livelihoods.
	Of course, it's other people that's the amazing thing.
	My heart breaks as I walk outside in Los Angeles.
	And see people outdoors wearing masks.
	Now tell me something about the logic here and why it does not worry you about the fools who run the Washington Post and the CDC and the L.A. County Health Department.
	Explain this to me.
	Let's see here.
	Okay.
	Washington Post editorial.
	Even those who have received the full vaccine dose are more and more often hearing advice to resume taking precautions.
	How is that possible?
	Of what use is the vaccine if you still have to take precautions?
	Did you ever hear of that in your life prior to this?
	And you're still susceptible to what you're vaccinated against?
	That's one hell of a vaccine.
	On Monday, LA County recommended that everyone wear masks in public indoor spaces, even though more than 54% of California's population over age 12 is fully vaccinated.
	God, it's so painful for me to see over age 12. It should have been over age 50. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Democrat, shocking, made a similar suggestion.
	53.7% of the state's population over 12 has been fully inoculated.
	I would say from my own perspective, if you're going into a heavily crowded area, you don't know if somebody is not vaccinated.
	And so you just should bring your mask with you and keep safe.
	Wait, if you're vaccinated, why the hell do you care if I'm vaccinated?
	You mean the vaccine only works with other vaccinated people?
	So the vaccine prevents COVID among people who don't have COVID. That is one powerful vaccine.
	Now, it is mind-boggling that this is what Americans buy.
	That the Washington Post and Democrats sell it makes sense.
	They want to control you, and they live in fear themselves.
	But that Americans would buy these gigantic, life-suppressing idiocies.
	It's not a lie.
	It's an idiocy.
	There's a difference.
	You're vaccinated, but hey, somebody else might not be.
	So what?
	Is that fair?
	The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has previously said that the fully vaccinated can do without masks, but on Friday, the World Health Organization urged fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks, social distance, and practice other mitigation.
	The combination of corruption and lack of intellectual depth on the part of public health officials around the world, How do you qualify for these positions?
	Barbara Ferrer, who is a fool, who is a powerful fool, is powerful.
	She shouldn't have any power.
	Director of Public Health, she's not even in medicine.
	She's in public health.
	She made $454,913 in total compensation.
	That's not bad.
	I don't care, by the way.
	I don't care what she makes.
	The point is, she puts people who make $50,000 out of business.
	That's the point.
	Relief Factor is currently making its rounds in my own system.
	How do you like that?
	I ingest What I advocate.
	I think it's an unbelievable non-drug solution to the problem of joint or muscle pain.
	I'd like you to try it.
	If it doesn't work in three weeks, it won't work.
	That's what they say.
	Probably won't work.
	Although people have told me it took them six weeks.
	It doesn't matter.
	I love their honesty.
	If it doesn't work in three weeks, cancel your order.

	Another disappointment in the last year and a half.
	America, Israel, Sweden turns out to be the hero.
	But listen to this one.
	This is really something.
	This is, let's see, almost half of adults in Israel and the UK infected with the Delta COVID variant were fully vaccinated.
	Aren't we told that if you're vaccinated, it's a prevention against the Delta variant?
	An Israeli health official said fully vaccinated people who have come into contact with the Delta variant in Israel will have to quarantine.
	They've truly flipped out.
	Wow.
	The Delta variant is more transmissible than other variants, but evidence is lacking on whether it will make people sicker than the others.
	What does it mean?
	That's right.
	Evidence is lacking.
	Get it?
	Isn't that a great term?
	Evidence is lacking.
	In other words, right now, there's zero reason to believe it's a problem.
	It's more contagious.
	Ergo, there is no...
	There's nothing following ergo.

	The famous George of Kirbyville.
	Hello.
	Yes, hi, Dennis.
	I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller.
	And first of all, I just wanted to thank you for your show.
	I've been listening for years, and you have a unique ability to look at an issue from a perspective.
	That I would have never considered.
	So your insight has been very valuable to me in my journey through life.
	That means a lot to me.
	I want to tell your listeners that they don't need to fear COVID. I had COVID last January.
	And I'm 70 years old.
	Yeah, but you know what?
	It only applies over 71. Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, all right.
	I'm interested, but you missed by a year.
	Go ahead.
	Okay.
	Well, I went to the frontline doctors and I got the hydroxychloroquine, the ivermectin, and zinc.
	And I had to wait five or six days because they messed up my order.
	So by the time I got it from my pharmacy here in Missouri, five days.
	And the COVID wasn't, it was rather mild because I take a lot of supplementation, including vitamin D and a host of other.
	Vitamins and minerals, etc.
	But I had to wait, and the COVID was not getting any better.
	But once I took the hydroxychloroquine, the ivermectin, and the zinc, it knocked it out in two days.
	It knocked the snot out of it real quick.
	That's right.
	Thank you, sir.
	But you would be dismissed by our doctor in Maryland.
	Good man that he is.
	As it's a coincidence.
	There are tens of thousands of coincidences, so I would like to be one of the coincidences if I got COVID. Anyway, I'm on ivermectin.
	I take it.
	And hydroxychloroquine.
	Simi Valley, California, we have another doctor.
	Avani.
	Hello, Avani.
	Good morning, Mr. Baker.
	How are you?
	So what is your specialty?
	So I am board certified in family medicine.
	Very nice.
	I thank you for calling.
	Thank you.
	I wanted to comment, you know, because I've been listening to you.
	I agree with you.
	You've done your research on ivermectin.
	Really, the studies show that there's been at least 14 studies that have shown 85% improvement in patients who take this prophylaxis.
	76 improvement in early treatment in 25 studies.
	I mean, the data doesn't bear to support it.
	And unfortunately, there are doctors who aren't prescribing it.
	Right, so you're a doctor.
	How do you explain them?
	You know, I don't.
	I don't know.
	I don't understand.
	You know, as doctors, we're taught to be free thinkers.
	We're taught to be independent, look at the research, look at the data.
	You know, we use medications off-label all the time.
	Antidepressants, which have a lot of side effects, are used off-label all the time.
	And if you look at ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, they're very safe medications.
	So for the doctors who don't want to prescribe it, I always wonder, what's the harm in trying it?
	If you really didn't believe in it, what would be the harm in trying it?
	The side effects being so minimal and for such a short question.
	What a great question.
	I would love the answer to that as well.
	I want to hire you.
	Let me ask you a question.
	What is family medicine?
	What is the difference between that and...
	General practice or internal medicine?
	So general practice could encompass internal medicine or family medicine.
	The difference between family and internal medicine is we, as family medicine, have training in prenatal care, pediatrics, and obstetric care as well.
	Oh, wow.
	And tell me, what is...
	It's a little bit broader.
	What ethnicity is Avani?
	Oh, Indian.
	So did your parents come from India?
	Yes, yes, they did.
	They immigrated in the 80s.
	Is there one Indian family in America whose children did not become successful?
	I don't know.
	If you meet them, have them call me.
	You are a joy.
	What a great question.
	Why wouldn't the doctor prescribe it?

	It was the prayers of so many Christians that I could feel.
	And you're exactly right about the spiritual battle playing out.
	And I saw each and every day.
	When the president got COVID-19, you'll remember they dubbed the Amy Coney Barrett nomination a super spreader event.
	Well, what some people haven't pieced together is Franklin Graham was there that day.
	They were doing the big prayer march through Washington.
	And Franklin Graham and some of the greatest pastors of our time were in the White House meeting with the president.
	So you have COVID-19, the invisible enemy, lurking in this super spreader event, while you have these pastors who represent all things good and Christians praying through DC.
	And it was just such a clear juxtaposition of good being there, but evil lurking in our midst.
	But the good news is Christ can overcome all.
	And I get into that chapter by chapter.
	I want to just reemphasize this.
	So you have a press briefing.
	This is not like a regular speech.
	I just want to have people understand this.
	So you have this, you're literally sitting on top of each other because of the way the White House configuration is.
	And there's like this sliding door.
	You walk out and you have probably 30 or 40 people.
	Rather high-IQ, hyper-aggressive wannabe celebrities with masks on.
	So all you see is their eyes.
	And you walk up to this podium and you're looking down at them and they're staring at everything you do.
	And then you have probably 15 or 20 cameras.
	And you know that there's 30 or 40 million people that will watch this.
	And then you have precisely what you have to say.
	And then you have to defend things that you didn't say on behalf of a bureaucrat or on behalf of an appointee.
	And if you say one word wrong, it could derail the entire mission of the federal government in the midst of a pandemic.
	But they don't care because that's success for them.
	Yeah, that is.
	And then you have to be precise throughout the entire thing.

	Leave your doctor if he or she won't prescribe ivermectin.
	Don't leave bitterly or anything else.
	The person doesn't even know that they've done something foolish.
	I asked the last doctor who called in, how does she explain to doctors who won't prescribe ivermectin?
	And she had no answer, which is perfectly legit.
	She said, it doesn't make sense because we're taught to think independently.
	I liked her so much I didn't want to butt in, as it were.
	That's not true.
	I don't think doctors are taught to think independently.
	I think they're taught to think like sheep.
	That's where I differ with her.
	As an outsider, all I see are sheep when I see MD. There are some exceptions, some exceptions to every rule.

	Mike, El Segundo, California.
	Hello, Mike.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I know for a fact, as many people know, that since 1986, so essentially three or four years ago, the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association have been knowingly and intentionally publishing really fraudulent, unscientific, biased research reports, and they've been doing this to promote gun control.
	Most of these reports use multiple, not just one or two.
	Yeah, by the way, let me just say, forgive me because I have so little time.
	You're reminding me of something.
	What is the New England Journal of Medicine doing, reporting anything about gun control?
	If they have an article about treating bullet wounds, that makes sense.
	He's right, though.
	They editorialize.
	Yes.
	Including on racism.
	Known worldwide as a medical issue.
	As a biological issue.

	Yes, she did.

	I've been talking about this for a long time.
	It astounds me that people have given Hillary a pass.
	Oh, Trump is undermining our integrity.
	Trump is undermining our republic.
	You can't challenge an election like this.
	You can't file a lawsuit like this because then people will lose confidence in you.
	How many times does he have to say this?
	Over and over and over and over.
	Trump knows he's an illegitimate president.
	You can run the best campaign.
	You can even become the nominee.
	And you can have the election stolen from you.
	I know that he knows that this wasn't on the level.
	Why do you think the president is going to such great lengths to essentially prove that he beat you?
	Because he knows he didn't.
	He knows he's an illegitimate president.
	I do think that he knows that he's an illegitimate president.

	This is, you know, we can talk stories about the deep state, but when I realized the extent of it was when I met somebody in the White House who had the same rank as me, which is deputy assistant to the president.
	There's not a lot of us.
	There's like 42 in the whole of U.S. government.
	And I find out that this individual, you don't get...
	You're not conscripted to be a dap, okay?
	You volunteer to be a politically commissioned officer of the President of the United States.
	This guy who volunteered to work in the Trump White House utterly and completely detested his boss.
	And I mean the President.
	And the idea that you would volunteer for a position of honor, of trust at the highest level of U.S. government...
	But detest the person elected by 65 million Americans.
	That is one definition of the deep state, and that's why it's real.
	That's why you've got to see this movie, the plot against the present.
	You've got to read the book.
	This is how I got to know that the deep state is a real thing.
	So I'm not a member of the NSC, but because of...
	The clearances and the job I had, I'd get all the invites to the NSC until McMaster pulled me off the list.
	Okay, first thing.
	The National Security Advisor removed me from this.
	Was it the same day he pulled Bannon out and all of that?
	Because he did that to everybody.

	That doesn't mean, just like, you know, the family authority is very different from civil government authority.
	That's all that he meant by that.
	It doesn't mean that Christians can abdicate our role and responsibility to be moral arbiters of truth within the context of civil society, because what our founders recognized is that the greatest The system of government would be predicated on the truth of the eternal, immutable Word of God, which is that truth is self-evident, and that the mandate for the Constitution is that we can only have a government according to the truth of the Word of God.

	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.

	Alright, now let's move to the so-called bipartisan deal.
	This is two parts, Eliana.
	Substantively, it's not a deal.
	It's not a deal.
	This is Wednesday.
	Wed-nes-day, as I point out.
	Therefore we have the male-female hour.
	Second hour of my show, devoted to the most honest talk I know of about men and women.
	There might be equally honest in the media.
	I hope there is.
	And as I point out, almost every week, one reason is my agenda.
	My agenda is to...
	Two-fold.
	That men and women understand each other better and themselves, I might add, and that they get along better.
	And I am very fair because I am neither a male fan or a female fan.
	I'm a good person fan.
	And that's why I'm not a white fan or a black fan.
	I don't even understand the concept of loving or hating a group because of its color.
	I can't think of something more stupid aside from immoral.
	I like you because you are, and then you fill in a person's color?
	Strange.
	Very strange.
	Or dislike you because of your color?
	Very strange.
	So welcome to the Male Female Hour.
	Every week this summer, and even earlier, I have been having...
	A remarkable young woman, Julie Hartman, who is entering her fourth year.
	She's a rising senior.
	I don't know when they developed that term, but she rises whenever I come in the room.
	So, I'm joking, by the way, for the record.
	In any event, I've been very impressed with her.
	I've had her on.
	I've gotten great feedback.
	If you want to contact her, julie-hartman.com.
	So I decided to talk to her, instead of having her on Thursday, to talk to her during the Male Female Hour about social life between men and women in her generation.
	Obviously, she doesn't know everyone in her generation, but she is a member of it and will have insights that may not be available to those of us not in that generation.
	Julie, welcome to the Male Female Hour.
	Happy to be here.
	We need a microphone for Ms. Hartman.
	Tell us how happy you are again.
	I'm very happy to be here.
	Never been on Male Female Hour before.
	By the way, out of curiosity, what do you think of the Male Female Hour?
	I love it.
	I'm really not just saying that.
	We never talk about these things in our daily lives.
	We never hear it on another radio show.
	So to have one hour where you talk about this, I think is very smart and so needed.
	No matter what the age of the person, one might add.
	You told me, and I know you're open, and it's not a secret, but I need to comment on it.
	In the last year, how many dates have you gone on?
	Zero.
	Yeah.
	So that's less than one.
	Yes.
	Required thought.
	You know, I'm going to embarrass you, but of course it's not intentional.
	She's a very good-looking young woman, so you might think, well, God knows, you know.
	Who he's talking to?
	Well, God does know, and you can know too.
	Is there a picture of you with Julie Dash Hartman?
	Somewhere on there.
	I think I just have videos up of me.
	I know, but like all women, you probably hate the picture.
	Yes, very much.
	All right.
	Anyway, I think just because we have to be honest, I needed to note that.
	So here we have a very bright, very personable, attractive young woman who had zero dates.
	Is that entirely because of COVID? I think a lot of it has to do with COVID, but I think a lot of it is because, and this is something we talk about a lot, and I know you talk about on this hour, men don't ask women out anymore, especially at my age.
	Hookup culture is very prevalent among people in their early 20s, in their teens, at college.
	So I think a lot of it really has to do with that.
	It's just not the culture anymore to court.
	It's the culture to hit on someone and then have a one-night stand with them.
	So, let me understand, because there's a part that I don't understand.
	So, a guy will hit on a girl, let's say at your universities.
	What does that mean?
	So, in the cafeteria, do you have a cafeteria?
	Dining hall.
	Yeah, dining hall.
	So where will the hit-on take place, for example?
	Oh, it will not happen at the dining hall.
	It will happen at a party.
	It will happen late at night at a party.
	Oh, okay, at a party.
	That's right.
	I forgot about parties.
	So he is more likely to hit on her for a hookup than for a date?
	Yes.
	That's fascinating.
	That is just fascinating.
	I can't emphasize that enough, how prevalent the hookup culture is.
	It really, it's everywhere.
	So, give me the line that would be most obvious.
	You know what?
	We've been here a couple of hours.
	Why don't you come to my place?
	What are the mechanics?
	I don't mean the mechanics of the sexual act.
	The mechanics of getting the girl to engage in the hookup.
	I think...
	You're drinking at a party, and you start talking, and you kind of go into a corner and talk for longer, and then, you know, party's over.
	I want to head back.
	Right.
	But just again, I'm trying to understand the logistics, is come back to one's apartment, to one's dorm.
	Dorm, yep.
	But isn't the dorm room shared with another roommate?
	Yes, and that roommate is sexiled.
	They are exiled for sex.
	They are sexiled.
	Mostly.
	See, I'm glad I asked because there are answers.
	Yes.
	How long are they sexiled for?
	Sometimes the whole night.
	Where do they go?
	Common room, couch, they crash at someone else's dorm.
	It's really not unique to where I go to school.
	No, I don't think it would be unique at all.
	If it was unique, it wouldn't be worth asking you the questions.
	The guy or the girl who's sexiled, they just know this is par for the course?
	This is the way life works?
	Or are they a little ticked off?
	Well, the one who is sexiled, they may sexile their roommate in the future.
	So it's kind of like a give and take.
	One night you're sexiled, the other night you sexile.
	Is it usually in the boys' room?
	Yeah, I would say.
	Interesting.
	Why do you think that is?
	That's a really interesting question.
	I think maybe there's an element of masculinity to it.
	Right.
	I think that's true.
	It can't be a coincidence.
	It should be 50-50.
	So more often the male roommate is sexiled.
	Okay.
	Will, in most cases, the girl stay over the whole night?
	Yes.
	Do you know girls that have engaged in a hookup?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I have no idea what the answer is, and you may not have one.
	As a general rule, are they happy afterwards?
	Look, it really depends on the individual, obviously.
	There are some girls who want to participate in that, and they are happy, and you know what?
	Good for them.
	I'm not judging.
	I'm trying to learn.
	Of course, right.
	I know you're not, but I just wanted to say for the record.
	However, I have a lot of conversations with my female friends about this.
	A lot of people are not happy with it, but they feel that they have to participate in it because it's just so common.
	I had an interesting discussion with one of my friends about this the other day where it's this weird kind of feminist idea that men and women are the same, that they want the same things, that they both want sex to the same degree.
	And that's just not true.
	I mean, of course it depends on the individual.
	But I think the reason why women participate in the hookup culture is because we've been fed this feminist nonsense that we have the same inclinations as men most of the time.
	And I think that's very harmful to women, ironically.
	In this quest to be empowered, a lot of the times it's degrading.
	Okay, we'll continue.

	So critical race theory actually is indoctrinating our children to tell them that if you are white, you are an oppressor.
	You are innately designed to be racist.
	And if you are black, you are oppressed.
	In other words, you will never have the opportunities that the white person has and the little boy or the little girl that's sitting beside you in your classroom is the reason why.
	This is why it's such a divisive and in itself it's completely racist.
	Well, it is.
	I mean, that's what I love about people who scream racism are often guilty of the racism themselves.
	I mean, this is the quintessential projection.
	How can you condemn children who've done nothing wrong?
	How do you make victims and oppressors out of kids in elementary school?
	Well, this is what fired me up.
	This is what got me initially so upset, is that...
	You know, I watch my son.
	I watch my 10-year-old son play football with little boys from every race, from every walk of life, every religion.
	And I watch them as they help each other up on the field when they get knocked down.
	I watch them give each other high fives.
	I watch them do chest bumps, right?
	They are not thinking, oh...
	You're black, so I can't touch you.
	Or, oh, you're less than me.

	outro music Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
	This is the Male Female Hour.
	What is it like for young men and women today in America?
	So, who's better to ask than an articulate young man or woman, in this case woman?
	Julie Hartman has been on the show each week since she has returned from Harvard.
	She goes back at the end of August.
	And we will miss you.
	It's been something.
	So, she has...
	She explained on her first appearance on the show, which was very dramatic for reasons that those who listen know, how my ideas touched her life, and I am very grateful that they did.
	But that's not the subject now.
	The subject is men and women of her generation.
	So the lack of dating is an issue, that men don't approach women for that, but apparently at parties, at least at college, they certainly do approach for a hookup.
	And you were describing the mechanics, and of course not the sexual mechanics, but the mechanics of getting this going.
	And then I asked you, among the women you know, do any regret?
	I even put it less dramatically.
	Are they happy that they did it?
	And you say it's a mixed bag, which I think resonates with me.
	And then you went into the idea of...
	Feminism having told women effectively, you're just like men, and can have emotionless sex, noncommittal sex, just as readily and enjoyably as men can.
	And then you use the term empowerment.
	Take it away.
	Well, it's a phony sense of empowerment.
	And the point that I want to make is that this all leads back to the modern definition of feminism.
	That I think is very harmful, as we're saying, to teach women that they are the same as men.
	Of course, they're equal to men.
	Women are not inferior to men.
	That's a very separate conversation.
	But they are not the same as men.
	They have different inclinations.
	They have different desires.
	Again, it depends on the person, obviously.
	But that is what fuels so much of this hookup culture.
	It's this idea that we are the same.
	I think where this really comes from is that for such a long time, women couldn't participate in a hookup culture, or they had to kind of stay at home, and they couldn't be promiscuous.
	So I think there's this idea that the very opposite of what was once considered oppression is now empowerment.
	What was once considered oppression is women not being allowed to be promiscuous.
	Now, the very opposite of that, promiscuity, is considered to be empowerment.
	And that's a very harmful, in my view, way of looking at it, because that's just not true in many cases.
	I'd like to bounce a theory off you, and then I want to get to callers.
	And this just actually occurred to me.
	So I'm taking a risk.
	It may be a half-baked theory, but here it goes.
	There is no celebration of male-female difference at all in society.
	For all intents and purposes, men and women are the same.
	In fact, you're told at Harvard and every other university that they're interchangeable.
	Final arena where a girl can feel that she's a girl, and that's in the sexual act.
	So it might be, especially at a place like Harvard, where the brain is so, I believe, overemphasized.
	I have far less regard for the intellect than most, because without...
	Values and common sense.
	It's useless, in fact, destructive.
	But anyway, it's so brain-centered, so emasculated and defeminized.
	I remember I'm a female when I have sex with a male, and that's about it.
	Does that make any sense?
	It does.
	That's interesting.
	I haven't heard that before.
	I haven't heard it before either.
	I haven't thought it before.
	But it does make sense?
	I think so, yes.
	Look, this to me, again, really goes back to the fact that there is such an emphasis on men and women being equal, that for so long women were considered inferior.
	Meaning the same, though.
	Equal is not, as you pointed out, not the issue.
	Yes, this is what I'm trying to say.
	Equal is not the same.
	Men and women are equal.
	Men and women are not the same.
	That is what modern-day feminism fails to account for, and that is where the root of this problem is.
	I read constantly that the largest percentage of females of college that we have any records for are depressed.
	Is that true?
	Oh, absolutely, and high schoolers, too.
	I think it's a...
	It's a greater problem than the hookup culture, though, which is a separate conversation, not for the male-female hour.
	I do think a lot of it has to do with male-female relations, but I think a lot of it also has to do with homework and the pressure to get into college and the pressure, once you're in college, to land a good job in this hyper-competitive, secular world where we live in, where there's no purpose beyond yourself.
	The only purpose is to...
	Achieve to get to the highest level, to land in an elite institution or an elite job.
	I think a lot of that is what fuels the depression.
	But bringing it back to the topic of this hour, I think a lot of it, too, has to do with male-female relations.
	I can tell you, as a woman, it is depressing to me that I have not dated yet in college.
	That is really depressing to me.
	But I'm not going to participate in the way it is now.
	Why wouldn't you participate in the hookup culture?
	Why wouldn't I, specifically?
	Is it religious?
	Is it an acknowledgement of female nature?
	What is it?
	I do not participate because, just personally, I need to have a connection with someone in order to be physical with them.
	I'm just, again, I don't judge women who do that.
	No, the issue is not judging.
	Of course.
	Right, so forget that.
	So, you...
	Want a connection before something physical.
	Yes.
	Why?
	So do you think that that comports with female nature?
	Or is it idiosyncratic to you?
	I'll get your response when we come back.
	And I will take your calls, Julie Hartman, at julie-hartman, correct?
	Dot com?

	And we will return.

	This is, you know, we can talk stories about the deep state, but when I realized the extent of it was when I met somebody in the White House who had the same rank as me, which is deputy assistant to the president.
	There's not a lot of us.
	There's like 42 in the whole of U.S. government.
	And I find out that this individual, you don't get, you're not conscripted to be a dap.
	Okay, you volunteer to be a politically commissioned officer of the President of the United States.
	This guy, he volunteered to work in the Trump White House, utterly and completely detested his boss.
	And I mean the President.
	And the idea that you would volunteer for a position of honor, of trust at the highest level of U.S. government...
	But detest the person elected by 65 million Americans.
	That is one definition of the deep state, and that's why it's real.
	That's why you've got to see this movie, the plot against the present.
	You've got to read the book.
	This is how I got to know that the deep state is a real thing.
	So I'm not a member of the NSC, but because of the clearances and the job I had, I'd get all the invites to the NSC until McMaster pulled me off the list.
	Okay, first thing.
	The National Security Advisor removed me from this.
	Was it the same day he pulled Bannon out and all of that?
	Because he did that to everybody.
	It was actually before Steve, I think, got in trouble.
	You should be proud of that.
	Yes, I'll put that on my resume.
	You were actually the top of the list.
	As soon as McMaster came in, he's like, I've got to get rid of these five guys.
	I can tell you stories about McMaster.
	So I go to the NSC meetings.
	These are the highest level policy-making meetings in America.

	We have to be active participants in civil society.
	And this whole myth of separation of church and state, by the way, is something that Christians should...
	Absolutely not be lied to about, and they should not perpetuate that myth.
	Thomas Jefferson only meant that the authorities that are established are different.
	They're separate.
	That doesn't mean, just like, you know, the family authority is very different from civil government authority.
	That's all that he meant by that.
	It doesn't mean that Christians can abdicate our role and responsibility to be moral arbiters of truth within the context of civil society, because what our founders recognized is that the greatest The system of government would be predicated on the truth of the eternal, immutable Word of God, which is that truth is self-evident, and that the mandate for the Constitution is that we can only have a government according to the truth of the Word of God.

	The Constitution and our laws and our system of government are, you say, inextricably intertwined with morality.
	There's no such thing as somehow separating church and state on that level.
	Right.

	Keep up with what's trending subscribe today Hi
	everybody, Dennis Prager, male-female hour, speaking with Julie Hartman.
	She's the college student who I've been having on once a week.
	She will be a senior at Harvard, and her evolution to this show was reported by her the first two times, so I won't review it, but it's been very successful.
	And the subject today is, what is it like to be?
	A young, attractive woman in America.
	And it's a sobering story.
	And I think that she has not gone on a date, not just COVID, even pre-COVID, because men don't ask you on dates at college.
	It's either a hookup arranged at a party, apparently, or a zero.
	I would love to have a couple of girls who did engage in the hookup culture on the show, and I would ask them a lot of questions, obviously, but one question I would ask is, what if a guy just said, you know, it's really fun talking to you, why don't we meet at Starbucks tomorrow?
	How would she react to that?
	Would she think more...
	You know what, actually?
	This is a really interesting point.
	I suspect that a lot of women would find that to be creepy, which is another big part of the issue.
	And I think that relates to the Me Too movement.
	Because we as women have been taught, you know, if men are out to get you, if men approach you on the street, don't trust it.
	And some of that is good.
	For example, I've been taught, you know...
	Make sure you see where your drink is coming from.
	There are some good ways to be skeptical of people who you may have a romantic encounter with.
	However, I think people would find the Starbucks thing creepy because it's...
	Wait, so let's go to my place and hook up now.
	It's not creepy.
	I know, it's so backwards.
	But let's have a coffee.
	Is creepy?
	Yes.
	I didn't expect that answer, I will say.
	And my earphones from my technical director.
	Now you know why guys don't ask girls out.
	It is such a backward thing.
	It is so utterly backward.
	Because we're taught to be so skeptical that they have different motives when they're asking you...
	If a guy comes up to you on the street, they're a rapist.
	Or they're creepy.
	And don't trust them.
	Guys know this, so they don't do it.
	Yes.
	I do feel bad for guys.
	I mean, look, guys need to do better.
	I think guys need to not so much engage in the hookup culture, and I think they do need to be more bold and ask women out on dates.
	But that being said, also, we women need to do better, and we can't be so skeptical, and we have to reward that when a guy approaches us.
	Wow.
	So finally, you were saying...
	Well, you weren't.
	I was asking.
	Your view as a non-participant in the hookup that you think you would yourself only feel good if there was something more between you and a man before you were physical, do you think that's idiosyncratic to Julie Hartman or that comports with female nature?
	I think that comports with female nature, totally.
	But what's interesting is that if you say that, then you're not feminist.
	If you say that, then you're slut-shaming.
	I have a lot of friends who participate in the hookup culture, and the next morning I'll talk to them and they'll just say, ugh, I just don't feel good.
	I feel used.
	I feel cheapened in a way.
	But then, if you, you know, come out like I am on the radio, and you say, hey, you know...
	This whole idea of feminism, that men and women want the same things, and that you can just have sex with a guy, and that's empowerment, and that's feminism.
	If you come out and say that, then you have this primitive, antiquated, oppressive way of thinking.
	But the irony of it is that this harms women.
	This benefits men and harms women.
	It isn't the whole point to be rah-rah-rah pro-women, but it has the exact opposite effect.
	It's very backward, and what's most backward about it is if you speak out against it, then you're the enemy.
	I welcome the enemy onto my show.

	Hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Hi, Julie.
	I'm a long-time listener.
	Thank you for having me.
	I completely agree with what Julie said about hookup culture and the primary cause being the feminist movement.
	I'm a little older than Julie.
	I'm 29. I'm not going to lie.
	I'm attractive.
	I'm well-educated, graduated from a top-tier university.
	I'm an attorney.
	And hookup culture is still prevalent even at my age.
	Hold on.
	Stay on.
	I want to talk to you.

	Trump is undermining our republic.

	You can't file a lawsuit like this because then people will lose confidence in your...

	She will be a senior at Harvard.
	And she is describing...
	The life of the male and female in their 20s.
	So is Kim, the caller from L.A., who, to your credit, by the way, acknowledging you're attractive, that is harder for a woman than to learn Mandarin.
	So I'm very happy that you noted that, and I thank you.
	So you're 29. I have a question for you.
	Yes.
	Since you're resonating to what Julie is saying, she's 21. And that is, I'm curious, how many dates have you gone on in the last two years?
	Probably one or zero in the last two years.
	Zero, I think.
	So we have two attractive women in their 20s who've gone on a total of zero dates in two years.
	Yep.
	Well, it's not just COVID lockdown.
	That's a factor, yes, but this predates COVID. And there weren't Zoom dates, obviously, during COVID. So you resonate to what she said.
	So you're in the law office.
	So let me understand.
	A fellow lawyer, he's 33 years old.
	Alright, and single and is attracted to you.
	Can he say a damn word to you?
	I would hope so.
	Is it legal, in other words?
	Can he say, you know, I'd love to...
	I guess you're asking.
	I'm sorry?
	I would say I would be okay with it.
	No, I know you would.
	Well, I think I know you would, but that's not my question.
	Is it okay for him to do so?
	Does he not risk?
	Let's say you're not attracted to him.
	I'm not saying does he risk being turned down.
	Every man risks that with any approach to a woman.
	The question is, does he fear it can hurt his career?
	Possibly.
	Right.
	So why would he do that?
	I mean, I hate to say this because I'm so pro-masculine and pro-men being men, but nevertheless, let's say you were a jerk.
	Couldn't you go to HR and say, you know, this guy just, you know, he harassed me?
	Yes, absolutely.
	Okay.
	But that speaks to, you brought up another point.
	Masculine men, they don't exist anymore.
	I don't even think that would happen because we don't have masculine men who would initiate that.
	That's right.
	Yes, that's correct.
	That's the problem that I'm having.
	That's right.
	Well, you can thank the left again.
	Everything the left touches, it ruins.
	It ruins men, it ruins women, it ruins everything.
	It is a completely destructive force, the likes of which I've never witnessed.
	So, this...
	I mean...
	Are you depressed?
	It's a little depressing.
	It is.
	Did you ever...
	Were you ever in love with a man?
	In love?
	No.
	And when I was in college, I did date a few guys, but I didn't really participate in the hookup culture.
	Well, that's the antithesis of being in love in any event, so it wouldn't have mattered in answering this.
	Well, I do this show in order to help terrific people like you, Kim.
	I hope we meet one day.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	What do you say to all of that, Julie?
	Well, the thing that I thought of also is that if you choose not to participate in it, as Kim was saying, as I've been saying, you're a prude.
	You're stuck up.
	It's not that you respect yourself.
	It's that you're a prude.
	Which is another huge problem.
	You're anti-feminist.
	You're a prude.
	I'll tell you why I... It's all backwards.
	I mean, truly, literally, A is B, 2 and 2 is 6. Everything is backwards.
	But I will say on your behalf and Kim's behalf and millions of other good women, and I don't say this as an attack on men, but the masculinity issue is huge. but the masculinity issue is huge.
	I was talking the other day about how these guys in their 20s who flew the bombing missions over Germany, if you see the pictures of their planes, they all had a pinup painted on the plane, a little pinup. they all had a pinup painted on the plane, a you know, a cute woman in a bathing suit.
	So that, of course, would be regarded as bordering on evil.
	And yet, that's the kind of man that a woman wants.
	Well, it's this idea of toxic masculinity, another asinine term that has emerged from the left, that any kind of display of masculinity is inherently toxic.
	That's right.
	Okay.
	We'll continue.

G
	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?

	All right, now let's move to the so-called bipartisan deal.
	This is two parts, Ileana.
	Substantively, it's not a deal.
	Two hours later, the President and Nancy Pelosi said whatever they'd agreed to with the bipartisan group of senators wasn't going to pass absent another trillion-plus dollars in spending and tax hikes, which means there's no deal.
	But secondly, Mitch McConnell will not let that get through.
	No one should have reported that as a bipartisan deal.
	And I talked about this with John Allen.
	It's just absolute terrible reporting.
	To call it a bipartisan breakthrough when two hours later the president reneges, agree or disagree?
	I think that's right, although it wasn't clear that I was surprised by Biden's move.
	I wasn't sure that he would land where Pelosi was, and I was surprised to see him say that.
	I think having spoken to a handful of Republican senators about this, the Republican strategy was to back.
	A more narrow infrastructure bill that contains the popular items and then sort of leave Democrats holding the bag on this really expensive bill.
	I think it's something they believe they could campaign against Democrats against in the midterm elections.
	And what happened was essentially the Democrats saying they're putting the goodie bag deal first.
	And I think there are a lot of things that could happen.
	That first bill could go nowhere if Manchin and Sinema don't support it.
	Or that bill could pass, and the quote-unquote bipartisan deal on infrastructure, I think it's unlikely to pass after that.
	Otherwise, you know, the Republicans are the dumbest group of senators I've ever seen if they agree to this thing.
	And I mean dumb, and Mitch McConnell is anything but dumb.

	Let's see.
	Okay.
	Barbara in Pittsburgh.
	I went to school years ago.
	Barbara's 45, so she went to school 25 years ago.
	And it was just the same.
	Exactly correct, Barbara.
	I agree with you.
	It was not all that different.
	It was somewhat different when I went.
	But I was at the heyday of feminism when women bought hook, line, and sinker.
	That they didn't need a man and that they were just like men when it came to sexuality.
	Let's see.
	Matt in Long Beach, California says, now when you go on a date, he's 43. I may have probably said that.
	You go on a date and show affection, women reject it.
	Now that may be unique, or not unique, but idiosyncratic to his experience, and it might be an issue.
	Do you have any reaction?
	I actually don't think it's idiosyncratic to his experience.
	Again, I think it has to do with this idea that showing affection is creepy.
	Wow.
	Dan in Hopkins, Minnesota, is Julie religious and are the women she describes religious?
	I am on a quest to find religion.
	Dennis' Rational Bible has helped me a lot with that, so I would say that I'm semi-religious.
	However, I can say with certainty that a lot of the women that I'm talking about are not religious.
	They are very secular.
	And I think that contributes a lot to it, too.
	Benjamin, 21 years old, Gainesville, Florida.
	Hookup culture is making young women think they're bisexual.
	Any thoughts on that?
	Yes.
	I mean, that's a whole other hour for us to go over, definitely.
	There's definitely a trend, which may be problematic to say because some people do identify as LGBTQ genuinely, but there is a trend towards coming out as gay or bisexual.
	It's kind of in vogue.
	Wow.
	Okay, Mark and Richard and Lou and Dory, I'm sorry I didn't get to you as well.

	You can run the best campaign.
	You can even become the nominee.
	And you can have the election stolen from you.
	I know that he knows that this wasn't on the level.
	Why do you think the president is going to such great lengths to essentially prove that he beat you?
	Because he knows he didn't.
	He knows he's an illegitimate president.

	That's a common charge now that the third stanza of the national anthem is racist and therefore She turned her back on it.
	The pictures are very famous.
	Gwen Berry is the woman.
	And she's supported by a radical group that is for defunding the police.
	So she's supported by and a supporter of left-wing positions.
	Among her comments that is worthy of analysis, I have to find it exactly.
	She spoke, I love my people, and my people are not the American people, my people are blacks.
	I have never understood the notion of loving a race.
	It is as odd to me as hating a race.
	And by the way, it's not true.
	You think she loves...
	Candace Owens, or Larry Elder, or any of the many blacks, percentage-wise, not gigantic, but not insignificant, who voted for Donald Trump, for example.
	So, it's not even true, but she says it.
	Somebody said, I love all whites.
	You would think correctly that they're racist.
	So why I love all blacks?
	Why isn't that racist?
	But that's secondary to the bigger issue.
	The national anthem is accused of being racist because of things in the third stanza.
	So I will play for you right now.
	We've covered this.
	This is a good example of the use of PragerU that you should make.
	It's not an ad.
	It's free.
	That's why we do it.
	It's all free.
	I'm not asking you for a penny.
	I just want you to watch it and play it for anyone who thinks the national anthem has racism in it.
	So it has, in fact, been analyzed quite thoroughly and effectively by James Robbins, who writes, I don't know if he still does, but for USA Today.
	Is America's National Anthem Racist?
	That's the name of the video.
	We really do.
	We tackle every major issue.
	This is a great example of using it.
	And it has 3 million views.
	It should have 300 million views.
	So here it goes.
	Let's play it.
	Asked this question just a few years ago to fans at a baseball, basketball, or football game, they would have assumed you had imbibed one too many beers.
	Today, thanks to an assault by the progressive left on the Star Spangled Banner and its composer, Francis Scott Key, you might get a different reaction.
	For example, here's what Jason Johnson, journalism professor at Morgan State University and popular cable news commentator, wrote about the anthem.
	It is one of the most racist, pro-slavery, anti-black songs in the American lexicon.
	Is Johnson serious?
	Actually, he is.
	And sadly, a lot of progressives agree with him.
	But why?
	To answer that question, we need a brief history of the song.
	Key wrote the Star-Spangled Banner after witnessing the American victory at the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, a rare bright spot in the young country's second conflict with Britain.
	A conflict in which the Americans mostly got their butts kicked.
	Critics like Johnson focus on the third stanza, in which Key mocks the retreating British soldiers.
	Before describing those lyrics, I need to make a point.
	The third stanza is virtually unknown.
	Almost no American has ever sung, read, or heard it.
	But even so, it's not nearly as offensive as it's made out to be.
	Here's what Key wrote.
	No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.
	The claim of racism focuses, of course, on Key's use of the word slave, which, so the argument goes, refers to the British Second Corps of Colonial Marines.
	This unit was composed of former American slaves who had been encouraged to escape bondage and fight alongside British troops.
	According to this line of thinking, The slave-owning Key, a prominent attorney, was terribly upset by the idea of freed blacks fighting against their former masters and was so gratified by their defeat that he inserted this line into his poem.
	Like many Americans living in the early 19th century, Key's record on race was mixed.
	On the one hand, he owned slaves himself.
	On the other, he offered free legal representation to slaves petitioning the Maryland court for their freedom.
	In 1835, he served as prosecutor in a case in Washington, D.C., of an enslaved black man, Arthur Bowen, who was accused of threatening his white female owner.
	But when a riot ensued over the incident, Key bravely stood between Bowen and a lynch mob bent on killing him.
	With respect to the anthem, there's no direct evidence that Key was referring to the Second Corps of Colonial Marines, that he even knew the unit existed or cared if it did.
	It should further be noted that this unit was not even present at the battle, so Key could not have seen them fleeing the field.
	Why then did Key use the word slave?
	We'll never know for sure, of course, but it's important to note that Key was not the first person to use the expression hirelings and slaves.
	It was a common rhetorical device of the time used on both sides of the Atlantic.
	You find it in newspaper articles and English-language literature well before the onset of the war.
	It was an all-purpose insult that could be used to refer to enemy troops, foreign leaders, corrupt politicians, or anyone else in need of a put-down.
	For example, in 1795, long before the Second Corps of Colonial Marines even existed, a dispatch from Baltimore condemned the hireling slaves of the English King George III. And remember, slave was a convenient rhyme for grave.
	Key was, after all, writing a poem.
	It may be as simple as that.
	Before the recent ruckus, no one who sang the national anthem thought it sent a racial message.
	If anything, people believed that the anthem promoted unity as it was intended to do.
	Besides, as previously noted, hardly any Americans even knew the third stanza existed.
	During World War II, GIs trying to uncover German infiltrators would ask suspected spies to sing the second or third or fourth verse of the Star Spangled Banner.
	If they didn't know the words, they were assumed to be genuine Americans.
	Those who declare the flag and the national anthem to be racist would do well to remember that Martin Luther King Jr. and his supporters carried the American flag during their famous Selma march.
	When they reached the State House in Montgomery, Alabama, guess what song they sang?
	That's right, the Star Spangled Banner.
	I'm James Robbins, columnist for USA Today and author of Erasing America for Prager University.
	That is one of the most effective five minutes.
	I have the chills.
	It's so good.
	Hireling and slave.
	On that basis, Gwen Berry and these others say the national anthem.
	And again, a third stanza that nobody knows exists.
	Nobody.
	I didn't even know there was anything beyond the land of the free and the home of the brave.
	Nobody does.
	It's a great example.
	If they wanted to catch somebody as a slave, if they knew there was another stanza, they knew they were a spy.
	Because only spies bothered knowing this.
	It was a term used to mock your opponent.
	That's all it was.
	Hiring and slaver.
	It had nothing to do...
	The odds are...
	I mean, we can't know Francis Scott Key's brain.
	But reading it, there is not a hint that this is an anti-black statement.
	And yet this Gwen Berry uses this.
	This is why I turn my back.
	Because the National Anthem is racist.
	Please watch that video.

	And there's me, the guy with the accent, saying, ladies, gentlemen, can I remind you what the president said yesterday about destroying the caliphate when he was in Warsaw?
	Can I remind you what the president said about Russia's threat to Europe?
	And it's like, who do these people think they are?
	They just think that...
	They don't matter, and the will of the people and who they elected is irrelevant, Amanda.
	No, it's the exact same thing that I saw.
	The best line that I got is when I got into it with somebody, because I was like, well, you...
	I was trying to speak bureaucrat, and I was like, okay, fine.
	Like, I got it.
	You need orders to come from the exact person that you report to, and I got to play the little math game and the whole thing.
	I was like, we did that.
	Why aren't you doing this?
	Why are you not following this chain of command that you so worship?
	And they were like, well, I don't work for the secretary.
	I don't work for the president.
	I work for the State Department.
	And I was like, what is this?
	Hang on, hang on.
	Somebody actually said that to you?
	I work for the State Department.
	Totally earnestly.
	And I was like, what do you think this is?
	Like, a sovereign state that's just on these, like, six city blocks?
	Like, you think that this is, like, its own nation and it's determined by the will of, like, bureaucrat X? It was the craziest thing.
	It was like the fact that they even were willing, because usually they pretend to kiss the behind of the secretary in phrase, but, you know, they don't.
	And it was just amazing because they were just out with it.
	I mean, this stuff happened all the time.
	I mean, you know that.
	It was...
	And like I said, the one that really pissed me off were the fact that there was political appointees that did the same thing, that they thought their job was to clean up after the embarrassment of the campaign promises or the things the president said.

	But I wonder if they even do that.
	We had that as kids.
	What?
	What does your parent do?
	You're so right, of course.
	That was a very big mistake on my part.
	No, no, the birthing person.
	Yes, that's a possibility.
	All right, Charles in Los Angeles.
	Hello.
	Yes, Dennis.
	Well, if it was up to me, America the Beautiful would be our national anthem.
	It's a great choice, but we have one.
	But I think God Bless America is great.
	America the Beautiful, I'm fine with either.
	Yes.
	Now, when we talk about key, you know, one problem I have with the national anthem is the final line.
	Atlanta the Free, Home of the Brave.
	Well, you know, there was slavery going on back then.
	The Braves, if you think about the Indian Braves, they were being wiped out.
	So I had a problem with that last line.
	When you look at Francis Scott Key, he was a slave owner.
	He actually tried to hang abolitionists, people that were passing out literature about abolition.
	He tried to get them found guilty in court and wanted to hang them.
	So, yeah.
	Right, okay.
	Okay, so, all right.
	So, Charles, here's the issue.
	If we are not to use the works of flawed men, or women, but it's mostly men, we will have nothing.
	Literally nothing.
	I know from the music of the flawed composers in their personal lives, or, you know, I always use the example of Wagner, who was a horrific racist who Hitler loved, but I listen to his music, because the music is beautiful.
	So, who will you ever use?
	I mean, this is...
	Well, everybody's flawed, you know, to some extent.
	Yes, exactly.
	Right?
	So, we got to look at the, you know, the question is, is it racist, right?
	Yes.
	And we know the man himself is racist.
	Okay, I know...
	And we know the man himself is racist, right?
	Yeah, he noted that in the video that I just played for you.
	He noted that.
	He was a mixed bag.
	He also protected a black guy from being lynched.
	Yeah, he did at one point, but at the other point, he was thoroughly against abolitionists.
	Yes, that's right.
	Okay, none of this changes the question of whether the lyrics are racist.
	Whether Francis Scott Key is racist is of no interest to me.
	Of interest to me is whether or not what he wrote was, and there is no evidence to my mind to suggest that because the word slave is there, that it was racist.
	I thought it was a completely effective answer to that question.
	And by the way, it's not a stanza that anybody even knows about.
	That's the problem.
	The loss of the national anthem is greater than the problems with the national anthem.
	This is the song we have sung for, I don't know when it was adopted, but he wrote it, obviously, in 1812. And I thought the last point, when I got the chills, was good.
	Those who declare the flag of the national anthem to be racist.
	Would do well to remember that Martin Luther King Jr. and his supporters carried the American flag during their famous Selma march.
	When they reached the statehouse in Montgomery, Alabama, they sang the Star-Spangled Banner.
	Anyway, Martin Luther King is no longer cited.
	He is way, way, way too liberal for the left.
	He actually believed that the ideal is not to recognize race, but character.
	Anyway, thank you, Charles, for calling.
	Really?
	It wasn't formally designated until 1916?
	It was written in 1812. How interesting.
	A hundred years later.
	First published in 1814. Sean in New York City.
	Hello.
	It has been such a long time since I've spoken with you, Mr. Prager.
	You know, just the other day, I said to my Sean, what's with Sean in New York?
	So, Mr. Prager, I'm sure you know about Starbucks being enemy territory for conservatives.
	I don't, actually.
	I'm not kidding.
	I didn't know that.
	I assume every corporation is enemy territory.
	I'm about to give you a true story.
	So the other day I walk into Starbucks, and I've noticed this a couple of times at various Starbucks in the metro area.
	If you look at their front window, they'll have a LGBTQ flag, and it's a little bit altered now.
	It's not just a rainbow flag.
	It's got something like on the top, like a little V-shaped design, and it's a brown color, and I presume it's the ad for people of color.
	So, I have no problem with that, per se.
	You know, you're entitled to put up whatever you want, as long as it's not a Nazi flag in my book.
	So, that having been said, I know a couple of the baristas there, and I said, you know what, I bet you that on the 4th of July, the American flag does not go up in the window.
	And as a matter of fact, all the baristas had these masks on, and it had the LGBTQ flag on their mask.
	I said, and you won't be wearing a mask with an American flag on it either.
	And this young lady chimes in.
	She wasn't part of the conversation.
	And she says, that's because, you know, she's pointing to her skin.
	She says, that's because we're victims.
	She was black.
	And I said, I don't see a victim here.
	You're in Starbucks.
	How can you afford to buy a Starbucks coffee if you're a victim?
	So it was back and forth.
	And out come the expletives.
	And I was being very civil.
	Really?
	She started cursing you?
	She started cursing me.
	And she said, she said, oh, you know, I can't believe that a grown man like you is thinking this way and talking this way.
	And I said, You know, my dear, Marxism has been tried several times and it has sailed everywhere.
	I said, oh, it's not going to be like that this time.
	Oh, it's so interesting.
	Hey, Sean, you've got to get this stuff on video.
	Actually, I almost risked my life, so let me cut to the punchline here.
	So I said, let me get this straight.
	In your infinite experience as a 19-year-old, you're going to tell me as a 50-year-old...

	Well, what some people haven't pieced together is Franklin Graham was there that day.
	They were doing the big prayer march through Washington.
	And Franklin Graham and some of the greatest pastors of our time were in the White House meeting with the president.
	So you have COVID-19, the invisible enemy, lurking in this super spreader event, while you have these pastors who represent all things good and Christians praying through DC.
	And it was just such a clear juxtaposition of good being there, but evil lurking in our midst.
	But the good news is Christ can overcome all.
	And I get into that chapter by chapter.
	I want to just reemphasize this.
	So you have a press briefing.
	This is not like a regular speech.
	I just want to have people understand this.
	So you have this, you're literally sitting on top of each other because of the way the White House configuration is.
	And there's like this sliding door.
	You walk out and you have probably 30 or 40 people.
	Rather high-IQ, hyper-aggressive, wannabe celebrities with masks on.
	So all you see is their eyes.
	And you walk up to this podium and you're looking down at them and they're staring at everything you do.
	And then you have probably 15 or 20 cameras.
	And you know that there's 30 or 40 million people that will watch this.
	And then you have precisely what you have to say.
	And then you have to defend things that you didn't say on behalf of a bureaucrat or on behalf of an appointee.
	And if you say one word wrong, it could derail the entire mission of the federal government in the midst of a pandemic.
	But they don't care because that's success for them.
	Yeah, that is.
	And then, so you have to be precise throughout the entire thing.

	School board chair is a woman named Brenda Sheridan, and she's not backing down at all.
	In fact, indeed, they're doubling down on the school board.
	She said, tonight, this is how she responded, apparently, on Tuesday.
	She said, quote, tonight the Loudoun County school board meeting was interrupted by those who wish to use the public comment, period.
	To disrupt our work and disrespect each other, she said dog-whistle politics will not delay our work.
	We will not back down from fighting for the rights of our students and continuing our focus on equity.
	Okay, let me ask you this.
	What is their work?
	Because for the past year and a half, it took us fighting to get our students to even get back into a hybrid.
	They couldn't even focus on our education.
	What is their work exactly?
	Their work exactly is to listen to their parents who actually are the constituents and the voices of their children.
	The school board is not the voice of my child.
	Well, and I'd like to also ask you about two fundamental aspects of her statement.
	Number one, how did you interrupt?
	Those who are using the public comment period, how did you disrupt their work, and how did you disrespect each other?
	Actually, we didn't disrespect each other.
	Hi, everybody. everybody.
	Sean in New York.
	If there was a...
	If I had to break before your punchline, I'm sorry.
	I don't know if you can get back in, but give it a try.
	I've been discussing with you the National Anthem and how it is not racist in the PragerU video.
	video it's perfect segue into my guest brad thompson who's a professor of political science at clemson university the latest prager u video was on john adams is a good example of just learning you know a great many of our videos like the national anthem it is not political it's it's just pure education even the political or pure education
	anyway it's called john adams american founder and second president By the way, Brad Thompson, I just want to tell you, you do a great job presenting your video.
	And I don't say that to everybody.
	I mean, we're proud of every video, but you're a good-looking man.
	I know it's the last thing you expected me to tell you.
	And you've come across great.
	I just wanted you to know that.
	Well, thank you very much.
	It was great fun and a great honor to do.
	So, how do you know so much about John Adams?
	Well, I actually wrote a doctoral dissertation on John Adams at Brown University, and my first book, John Adams and the Spirit of Liberty, is the culmination of many years of research.
	Oh, fascinating.
	Do you teach American history at Clemson?
	I teach political philosophy, and I do teach a course on the political thought of the American founding.
	Oh, fascinating.
	Now, what is the story at Clemson politically?
	Well, I think Clemson is one of the few sane universities left in the United States.
	So the woke social justice warrior...
	The crowd really doesn't have a significant presence at the university.
	The university is, I think, still a university that's dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and truth.
	And so, relative to most other universities, it's, I think, one of the very best institutions of higher learning in the country.
	God, another reason to move to South Carolina.
	Indeed.
	And I'm a big fan of your state, as it happens.
	How do you explain it?
	Why is Clemson an outlier?
	Well, I think it all begins with the student body.
	I mean, I think the student body at Clemson University, which is an international student body and lots of students from around the country, but the majority of students, or close to the majority, would be from South Carolina.
	And the way of life here is still dedicated to traditional manners and mores.
	And certainly where we are, I would say that most South Carolinians are proud Americans and very proud of America's heritage and tradition.
	Wow.
	There you go.
	That's what I suspected.
	Yeah, and I should also add, by the way, that the university administration at Clemson University is also dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and truth, and I run an institute at the university called the Clemson Institute for the Study of Capitalism, and you can imagine how that would go over at most universities, but Clemson may be the only university in America.
	That would not only tolerate, but actually give us a great deal of moral support.
	I pinch myself every day when I drive into work thinking that I teach at one of the few remaining universities in the United States that is still an intellectually serious place.
	It's good to know.
	I'm very happy I asked you about that.
	I'm curious about John Adams.
	Ironically, I just finished last year a gigantic book, a biography on John Quincy Adams, his son.
	And obviously there's a lot of reference to John Adams in there.
	How did John Adams get along with George Washington?
	I think there was a great deal of mutual respect between Adams and Jefferson.
	You mean Adams in Washington?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Adams, yes.
	Adams in Washington.
	In many ways, I think my position is that John Adams was America's greatest founding father, and this is a demonstrable fact.
	Wow.
	Hold on with me.
	That's a big deal, because I venerate the founders.
	That's the latest video.
	It's on John Adams at PragerU.

	The fact that Hillary's been saying this big lie, so-called big lie.
	For four years, and then when I brought it up on social media, oh, Hillary conceded, Trump didn't.
	What?
	Yes, he did.
	I read headlines from CNBC. Well, Hillary didn't follow a lawsuit.
	Yes, she did.
	I read an article from the Associated Press.
	Well, Hillary supporters aren't violent.
	Yes, they are.
	You remember election night?
	You don't.
	You remember inauguration night?
	You don't.
	Take your head out.
	Information is there.
	I've been talking about this for a long time.
	It astounds me that people have given Hillary a pass.
	Oh, Trump is undermining our integrity.
	Trump is undermining our republic.
	You can't challenge an election like this.
	You can't file a lawsuit like this because then people will lose confidence in you.
	How many times does he have to say this over and over and over?
	Trump knows he's an illegitimate president.
	You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you.
	I know that he knows that this wasn't on the level.
	Why do you think the president is going to such great lengths to essentially prove that he beat you?
	Because he knows he didn't.
	He knows he's an illegitimate president.
	I do think that he knows that he's an illegitimate president.

	This is, you know, we can talk stories about the deep state, but when I realized the extent of it was when I met somebody in the White House who had the same rank as me, which is deputy assistant to the president.
	There's not a lot of us.
	There's like 42 in the whole of U.S. government.
	And I find out that this individual, you don't get, you're conscripted to be a dap.
	Okay, you volunteer to be a politically commissioned officer of the President of the United States.
	This guy, he volunteered to work in the Trump White House, utterly and completely detested his boss.
	And I mean the President.
	And the idea that you would volunteer for a position of honor, of trust at the highest.
	Everybody, you want to learn.
	The history you never learned at college, high school, elementary school.
	One place for free is PragerU, and the latest is about John Adams.
	Five minutes by a professor of political science at Clemson University, Brad Thompson.
	You think he was the greatest founder?
	In a nutshell, why?
	Because I think he was the revolution's leading man of ideas, and he was its leading man of action.
	So as its leading man of ideas, he wrote some of the most important and influential pamphlets in the years between 1765 and 1776. He was the author of a pamphlet called Thoughts on Government, which was then subsequently used as a blueprint.
	For state constitutions in four other states, he was the sole author of the Massachusetts Constitution.
	He wrote one of the two greatest treatises of the founding era, his so-called Defense of the Constitutions of America.
	And then, as a man of action, he was deeply involved in Boston's revolutionary movement beginning around 1768. He then went to the Continental Congress, the first Continental Congress in 1774. And from that point forward, Adams was away from his wife and children for almost 14 years, except for nine months, which is extraordinary.
	He gave probably the single most important speech in American history when on July 1st, 1776, he was the man who stood up and made the defining argument for independence.
	And, of course, the man who made that argument would be the man declared by George III as the first to go to the gallows.
	He was America's leading diplomat with Benjamin Franklin in the late 1770s and the 1780s.
	And, of course, he was George Washington's vice president for two terms and then the second president of the United States.
	So Adams really dedicated his life, his liberty, his fortune, and his sacred honor to the cause of the revolution.
	And I do not think that another American revolutionary matches the contribution that Adams made to the revolution and to the founding.
	One final question, because this is an issue that I'm very interested in.
	How would you describe him religiously?
	That's a great and a difficult question.
	I would say that Adams was a deistic Christian.
	Very early in his life, he rejected the five so-called points of theological Calvinism.
	So he rejected, for instance, total depravity.
	election, but he did believe in the existence of God, the immortality of souls, the necessity of miracles, and he did believe in the Bible as revealed truth.
	And then finally, he was a regular churchgoer.
	Yeah.
	So let me tell you my theory, and maybe we'll do a part two on that.
	I think that most of the founders should not be called deists.
	Theists did not believe in providence or in afterlife or anything like that.
	And they were not conventional or orthodox Christians.
	They did not all believe in the Trinity.
	What they were is a term I have used all of my life.
	They were ethical monotheists.
	And I think that that's the term we should use.
	I'm curious how that strikes you.
	Yeah, I... Actually, I think that probably, in fact, is a better term.
	The technical 18th century term that would have been used to describe Adams' theology would have been Arminianism.
	But I like ethical monotheism as actually, I think, a more accurate description of Adams' religious views.
	And I think it is also true for virtually all of the founding generations.
	That's right.
	That's why America is so great.
	Well, it is a joy to talk to you.
	I would love to see you at Clemson.
	You tempted me tremendously to visit that college.
	Well, we would love to have you.
	We would be honored to have you.
	And let me just say my last word.
	This July 4th...
	life because it will be the first that I celebrate as an American citizen.
	Really?
	Where'd you come from?
	Yes.
	Canada.
	Boy, you know, it's terrible to say, but you actually left a less free country than America.
	Yeah, I left because of Pierre Trudeau in the late 70s, and I came to this.
	And now his son.
	Yeah, and now his son is continuing to ruin the country.
	Right.
	Well, we're lucky to have you, sir.
	That's all I can say.
	What a joy.
	All right.
	Brad Thompson, Professor of Political Science at Clemson.
	You know how lucky I am?
	I'll tell you, one of the many arenas is the great people I get to meet.
	That, even in my earliest years before, obviously before I had a radio show, but I always would describe myself as a good person collector.
	It's a great thing to try out.
	Ethical monotheism is exactly what the founders were.
	America is great because it is the Judeo-Christian country.
	There were many Christian countries, and Christianity is rooted in the Jewish scripture.
	And of course, Jesus and the apostles were Jewish.
	Nevertheless, this was a Judeo-Christian country.
	And that is being destroyed.
	It's not destroyed yet.
	There are plenty of us fighting.
	But that is the issue.
	The left hates that.
	In God we trust.
	Every single president in his inaugural address mentioned God.
	None mentioned Jesus.
	Many were very devout Christians.
	But it's an interesting fact.

	I don't know what the word would be.
	College...
	Connoisseur.
	Precocious.
	Precocious college student.
	What did you say?
	What was the word?
	I said the college connoisseur.
	College connoisseur.
	Hmm.
	You're a connoisseur of colleges.
	Well, connoisseur means one who knows something.
	Right.
	It doesn't necessarily mean like.
	From the French, connaître, which is to know.
	Anyway.
	So she was talking about dating and non-dating in her generation.
	She's 21. And she got an email.
	So this is very spontaneous on the Dennis Prager Show.
	We have just a minute.
	But I thought it would be an interesting way to end the show.
	Read the email that this...
	A 23-year-old from New York sent you.
	Well, I get a lot of really nice mail, so I want to thank everyone, but I will read this one.
	Julie, I just had to contact you.
	I'm a graduate student in New York and listen to Dennis every day.
	I find you to be incredibly impressive.
	You have so much insight, dot, dot, dot.
	P.S. I don't know if I have a bias because of your ideas, but I think you're absolutely beautiful, and I would like to...
	I would take you out on a date in a second.
	And so the story here is that I took a screenshot of this lovely email.
	I sent it to one of my college friends.
	And her response is, you don't find that creepy?
	Question mark, question mark, question mark.
	And I said to Dennis, and my point is proven.
	I can't tell you how sad her reaction is.
	Powerful.
	An example as to what has happened to men and women in the last 10-20 years, as I have encountered, there is nothing creepy about that email.
	It's sweet.
	But the message to men is, if you act like a man, no matter how kind, women will find you creepy.
	So it's sort of either hookup or nothing.
	I'm glad you shared that with me and that I shared that with the audience.
	Thank you, left.
	Everything the left touches, it destroys.
	The next victim will be America.
	Just remember that and you understand the world.
