	Didn't say it.
	And...
	Hmm...
	We are about to find it.
	And we are not about to find it.
	Can I have that study about young people?
	It is puzzled to me that it is not in my gigantic stack.
	And I welcome you all to the show, and...
	I got to speak to 45 young people.
	The terrific Eva gathered them together for a patriotic day.
	The view of young people toward the country is negative.
	The younger the person, the less they think America is worth even being proud of.
	Of course, when asked, interestingly, can you name a better country, then they were stumped.
	And that is pretty relevant to the issue.
	INI TIPP Poll.
	INI is Issues and Insights.
	Just 36% of young people are proud to be American.
	One out of three.
	Is pride an America thing of the past?
	Not if you ask Americans, as the nation celebrates its 245th birthday.
	The INI TIPP poll finds 68% of adults say they are very or extremely proud to be an American.
	Another 15% moderately proud.
	But that's not the issue.
	The issue is the young people.
	This is fascinating.
	The poll found that 55% of blacks and 57% of Hispanics say they are either extremely or very proud to be American.
	So who runs the country?
	This tiny minority of people that can't stand the country.
	That's a first in history, I would think.
	People who loathe everything it stands for.
	We'll have examples of that I will give you later.
	Men are far more proud than women to be American.
	81% of men say they're extremely or very proud compared with 65% of women.
	Why would that be?
	It's an interesting question.
	I mean it sincerely.
	Why would that be?
	I can only believe that women have been more susceptible to propaganda and brainwashing than men have.
	I can't think of a single other explanation.
	If you can, I would be very interested to hear from you.
	This is another incredibly important statistic.
	Single women are far less proud of their nationality than married women.
	51% versus 70%.
	Another argument for men need women and the women need men.
	There is so much damage done to this country and its people by the left in the course of my lifetime, but none is greater.
	There are many tied for it, but none is greater than women don't need men.
	The gigantic idiocy...
	I can't even call it a lie.
	It's beyond lie.
	It's in the realm of the idiot.
	Women don't need men.
	Would anybody say men don't need women?
	Yeah, a few people would say that.
	But by and large is an acknowledgement.
	But no, not women.
	Half of the women of the country are, well, no, 51% are less proud.
	College and universities seem to be inadvertently instilling American pride.
	That's interesting.
	75% of college graduates are proud to be Americans compared with 62%.
	That's tough to believe, isn't it?
	Got to admit, that's a tough one.
	But the biggest one is the gender and the single, but most dramatic.
	36% 18 to 24 proud to be American.
	86% of people 65 and over.
	Which is pretty funny because that's the baby boomer crowd.
	The baby boomer crowd is what started the Crap on America movement.
	So it's a bit bizarre.
	Look, I don't know if any poll is accurate, to be honest.
	However, as I've always said, either they tell you the obvious or they're wrong.
	Either they tell you what common sense suggests.
	Common sense suggests that this is correct.
	18 to 24-year-olds are the least proud to be American.
	Anyway, some July 4th thoughts about our situation.
	Democratic.
	Congresswoman Maxine Waters, a giant of our time, went on an anti-American rant Daily Mail in a July 4th Twitter post where she claims that the creeds laid out by the Declaration of Independence did not give equal rights to black people or women.
	That's right.
	It didn't.
	I have a very good question for her.
	July 4th, and so the Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal.
	Equal to what?
	What men?
	Only white men?
	Isn't it something that they wrote in 1776 when African Americans were enslaved?
	Okay, so here is my response to Maxine Waters.
	It is true.
	We did not live up to our ideal that all men are created equal.
	So I have a question.
	Can you name another society in 1776 that announced for its society all men are created equal?
	Any Asian societies come to mind?
	Any European?
	Any African?
	Any others in the Americas?
	Did the Mayans come up with that idea?
	Did the Congolese?
	Did the Japanese or Chinese?
	Good question, though.
	She's an idiot.
	Every leftist is an idiot.
	If you're not an idiot, you're either a liberal or a conservative.
	That's the question.
	I can't wait to go back to college campuses and pose that.
	Oh, well, that was hypocritical when they wrote all men are created equal.
	No, they were inconsistent with what they believed.
	They were not hypocrites.
	Hypocrites would have been people who say, well, it's okay for some of us to keep slaves, but it's not okay for others.
	They didn't think it was okay for them.
	They did it.
	Values.
	That's correct.
	Lincoln said, I tremble for my country thinking that God is just.
	He was referring to slavery.
	They knew.
	But there is no other country that did this.
	No other civilization that did this.
	That would be fun.
	I must admit.
	I would enjoy asking Maxine Waters that question.
	Okay, you're right.
	It was not universally applied, this value in American life.
	Who else had the value?
	What would she say?
	I usually know what leftists will answer.
	It's part of my brain work, thinking up answers that...
	People who don't think clearly would come up with.
	I can't come up with one now.
	See, what you advocate is important, my friends.
	That you don't live up to your highest ideals is sort of a summary of the human condition, would you say?
	But highest ideals are very important.
	So anytime you hear this from your college-educated son or daughter, ask them who else came up with this idea in 1776. 1-8 Prager, 776-877-243-7776.

	There's about 57 Muslim states in the world.
	There's one Jewish state.
	The massive ingathering of Jews in the last 150 years back to the land is absolutely unprecedented.
	They say that there's no greater sign of redemption coming than the Jewish people returning to the hills of Judea.
	As a Christian, I've always supported Israel's claim to the Holy Land.
	To me, the Palestinians were just getting in the way of God's plan.
	300,000 Palestinians are unemployed.

	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.
	Guess what?
	They've got blacks, whites, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews.
	They're all playing together, and they're all respecting each other, and they're all caring for each other.

	Job Creators Network.
	They're protesting the move by Major League Baseball, the move of the All-Star Game from Georgia to Colorado, because they don't like the laws that they passed.
	It has hurt a tremendous number of people, but, of course, Major League Baseball cares about the little guy, like you care about rice planting in Sri Lanka, which, in the truth is, I think you care about that more.
	That's Major League Baseball, like all of them.
	Contempt for the little guy to sound holy and good.
	The joke is there are more voting laws in Colorado than in Georgia.
	So I urge you to support the great folks at the Job Creators Network.
	Go to supportjcn.com.
	Support the lawsuit and the fights JCN fights on behalf of small businesses all over the country.
	That's supportjcn.com.
	Remember, good people are divided into three groups.
	Those who fight, those who help the fighters, and those who do nothing.

	Hello.
	Oh, hi, Mr. Prager.
	How are you?
	Okay, thank you.
	Well, you know, like I said, I think that young people, fellow young people like me, they hate America because people like you are using all the...
	Okay, there we go.
	And there's Justin in New York City.
	Hello.
	Justin in New York.
	Hey, Dennis.
	How are you doing?
	Okay.
	All right, I think we have a few telephone problems here.
	No problem.
	Let's go to Pamela in Louisville, Kentucky.
	Hello, Pamela.
	Hello, Dennis.
	I want to thank you.
	I tried to get through on Friday.
	It was just too busy.
	I want to thank you for all your comments on Friday.
	I'm just a little emotional.
	I'm the baby boomer, and my uncle, He was killed in World War II on April 26, 1945. I think two weeks before the end of the war.
	And he was guarding Auschwitz.
	And we had already liberated Auschwitz.
	And we think maybe it was a sniper.
	But he was my mother's only sibling.
	We were just always taught God first, family second, and then to love and honor our country.
	And my grandmother, of course, his mother, lived with us.
	And every Memorial Day, Fourth of July, excuse me, we hung this beautiful flag on our porch that covered his coffin.
	And I just love my country so much.
	And we were raised in a Judeo-Christian.
	Right.
	Well, that's it.
	That's exactly right.
	God bless you and your uncle.
	By the way, it's Auschwitz for the record.
	And if you can't love this country, Can't be proud of what America has achieved.
	Then your moral compass is broken.
	That's it.
	This is not a complex issue.
	I read a piece, one of the longer pieces.
	I'm going to start reading it to you.
	It is an analysis of what has happened in this country to young people.
	I consider it to be one of the most thoughtful pieces of the last few years.
	Mary Eberstadt, was she in the Harvard faculty?
	I don't think so.
	So who am I thinking?
	Oh, yes, I know.
	I'm thinking of another woman, yes.
	Anyway, Mary Eberstadt, whom I've been reading for years, writes in a terrific journal, First Things.
	R.R. Reno edits it.
	I've had him on the show.
	According to the first thorough examination of the street protests triggered by the death of George Floyd, Undertaken by Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, in conjunction with the Bridging Divides Initiative at Princeton,
	more than 10,600 incidents of what is benignly called unrest were recorded between May 24 and August 22. Of these, some 570 involved violence.
	Of those, most have involved Black Lives Matter activists.
	Preliminary insurance estimates show that the damage will surpass $1.2 billion in damages, accrued during the Rodney King riots in 1992. And then there are the atmospherics that separate these protests from many that have gone before, lusty screaming, ecstatic vandalism, The menacing of bystanders.
	The ritualistic exhibition of destructive behaviors in city after city is without precedent in America.
	Neither the civil rights demonstrations or the protests against the war in Vietnam looked remotely like this.
	What explains this?
	The answer cannot be racism.
	In 2017, according to Pew Research, 52% of respondents said that race doesn't make much difference in marriage.
	And another 39% said that interracial marriage is a good thing.
	When 91% of the public shrugs at or applauds interracial marriage, it is absurd to speak of a spectral racism that permanently and irredeemably poisoned society.
	That eruption exposes the threefold crisis.
	This is key.
	The last caller reminded me of this piece.
	This eruption, that is what happened last year, exposes the three-fold crisis of filial attachment that has beset the Western world for more than half a century.
	Deprived of Father, small f, Father, capital F, and Patria, that is the country as your fatherland, a critical mass of humanity, Has become socially dysfunctional on a scale not seen before.
	I wrote about this in my commentary on the Bible.
	If you don't have a father on earth, at least you'll have a father in heaven.
	And now, a vast number of young people have no father on earth, no father in heaven, and no fatherland.
	That's the brilliant thesis of this woman.
	And I will continue with what she wrote.
	We'll put it up.
	It's from First Things.
	We'll put it up.

	What is your message to those who think this isn't a big deal or who feel cowed and intimidated?
	What do you say to them?
	Anytime you say something like what I'm about to say, I'm sure it can be abused and misused, so I'll be very careful in how I say it.
	I've never read Hitler's Mein Kampf.
	But I've picked it up recently in the past week because I'm interested in learning everything I can about history.
	After spending just a day with his Mein Kampf, the spirit and essence of his race hatred that shows up in that book, a set of two books, is very similar to what I'm seeing show up in How to Be an Anti-Racist.

	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, 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, Mike, 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.

	everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	This brilliant, brilliant piece in a terrific journal, First Things.
	Analyzing the people who went crazy, the young people who went nuts, truly nuts.
	The hysteria and the destruction and the screaming.
	Last year's riots.
	Something that isn't true, that America is racist.
	They were riots over a lie.
	We don't even know if George Floyd's death was caused by racism.
	The black, left-wing, Democratic Attorney General of Minnesota said it wasn't.
	How widely reported was that?
	How many of the crackpots who rioted last summer know that?
	So they rioted over an event that didn't take place.
	George Floyd was killed.
	We suspect.
	Anyway, he was found guilty of murder.
	Derek Chauvin.
	But there wasn't a suggestion that it was because of race.
	Six decades of social science have established that the most efficient way to increase dysfunction Is to increase fatherlessness.
	And this the United States has done for two generations now.
	Almost one in four children today grows up without a father in the home.
	For African Americans, I wish conservatives never used African Americans.
	I never used it.
	It's patronizing.
	It means that you're following the herd.
	And she doesn't marry Eberstadt.
	By the way, the latest is you should not use African-American.
	Isn't that amazing?
	Because not all blacks are African.
	That's the latest.
	Did you see the Brandeis University list of words?
	You can't use people of color, even though BIPOC is the way they use it.
	You can't use African-American.
	You have to use black.
	I've been using black the whole time.
	It's sort of like the width of my ties.
	I keep my ties, and they always come back to the width of my ties.
	It's like it comes back in style if you wait long enough.
	All right, anyway, for African Americans, it is some 65% of children.
	Absent fathers predict higher rates of truancy, psychiatric problems, criminality, promiscuity, drug use, rape, domestic violence, and other less-than-optimal outcomes.
	Here's another pertinent, albeit socially radioactive fact.
	Fatherlessness leads to a search for father substitutes.
	And some of these daddy placeholders turn out to be toxic.
	The murder rates in inner cities are irreducibly familial phenomena.
	That's because the murder problem is largely a gang problem, and the gang problem is largely a daddy problem.
	As the Minnesota Psychological Association put it in a study published in August, a high percentage of gang members come from father absent homes, possibly resulting from a need for a sense of belonging.
	Gaining that sense of belonging is an important element for all individuals.
	Through gangs, youth find a sense of community and acceptance.
	In addition, the gang leader may fill the role of father.
	Often leading members to model their behaviors after that individual.
	Having a father in the child's life greatly reduces the likelihood of a child joining a gang.
	Second, the language of BLM itself suggests that daddy issues are an ingredient in the political mix that has exploded in cities across the country.
	Before it was removed in late September, one section of the BLM website declared, We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and villages that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
	Note the missing noun, fathers.
	It is as if fathers, as distinct from parents, had ceased to exist.
	BLM is a direct heir of the founding document of identity politics, the Cohambie River Collective Statement put forward by black feminists in 1977. That manifesto spoke of women and children only, never of fathers, brothers, or sons.
	I will continue with this.
	What do young people have today?
	Forget inner-city kids.
	Affluent suburban kids.
	What do they have?
	What do they identify with?
	As I put it, and now she puts it, no father in heaven, no...
	Well, they have a father on earth in the suburbs, that's true.
	But they have no fatherland and no father in heaven.
	And usually a weak father.

	Not one mistake.
	I had studied Marxist.
	History, beginning with Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto from 1848. And when I first studied that and saw in section one of the manifesto what you can recognize as what's called the oppressor versus oppressed narrative of human history, a whole bunch of stuff that was taking place in our country began to become exceptionally clear to me.
	And I began to piece together a lot of the what I'll call militant impulse that was manifesting in society as time went on.
	And there's a victimhood ideology.
	There's constantly an effort by some individuals who have an agenda to Pit groups of people against one another as victims or oppressed groups and oppressor groups.
	And we've seen very clearly over the past calendar year who the oppressor group is labeled to be and who the oppressed groups are labeled to be.
	And right now, under the auspices of diversity and inclusion training, as well as critical race theory and other narratives of American history that have been parading about throughout the country and showing up in our education system, all of those narratives It's the white versus the black.
	It used to be class, division by class.
	now it's division by race by skin color we've only begun
	hi
	hello my friends hello my friends I'm Dennis Prager, reading to you The Fury of the Fatherless.
	Take some calls, but it's now up at DennisPrager.com.
	Third, the biographies of at least some of today's race-minded trailblazers suggest a connection between fatherlessness, and identity politics.
	The author of the bestseller, White Fragility, was a child of divorce at age two.
	The author of the bestseller, So You Want to Talk About Race, reports that her father left the family and broke off contact, also when she was two.
	The author of another bestseller, Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People, about race, was raised by a single mother.
	The author of another hot race book, The Anti-Racist, How to Start the Conversation About Race and Take Action, was raised by his grandmother.
	Colin Kaepernick's biological father left his mother before he was born, but he was then adopted and raised by a white family.
	James Baldwin, a major inspiration for today's new socialist writers, grew up with an abusive stepfather.
	His mother left his biological father before he was born.
	The list could go on.
	In 2019, 44% of Americans aged 18 to 29 were nuns.
	None of the above is now the fastest growing religious subset in the United States.
	If fatherlessness and secularization are two aspects of the decline of the paternal principle, There remains a third attachment to country.
	Here, too, Millennials and Gen Z stand out.
	For many years, the decline of American patriotism among the young has been charted in surveys, which I brought to your attention just earlier.
	And that's what I've taken out.
	Oh, almost done.
	All manner of accelerants have made matters worse.
	The internet, social media, racial prejudice, tax political leadership, lax political leadership, scandals within the churches, the coarsening of political conversation, the polarization of the media into clashing armies.
	so has the metastasizing of the Civil Rights Act.
	As Christopher Caldwell has observed, a feverishly partisan intellectual class has stoked the flames with critical race theory, charges of fascism in America, and other debased characterizations of the country.
	Like Edmund in King Lear, who despised his half-brother Edgar, these disinherited young are beyond furious Like Edmund, too, they resent and envy their fellows born to an ordered paternity.
	Those with secure attachments to family and faith and country.
	That last point is critical.
	Boy, is she right about her own point.
	That last point is critical.
	Their resentment is why the triply dispossessed tear down statues not only of Confederates, but of founding fathers and town fathers and city fathers and anything else that looks like a father.
	Period.
	The men and women who think they have no country cannot abide those who have a country any more than the illegitimate son in King Lear can endure his half-brothers enjoying a patrimony.
	And that is the article.
	I've said that in my own way all of my life.
	People with no religion resent those who have it.
	People with no fathers resent those who have them.
	I'm talking about abandoned or never started with.
	It's not always true.
	Nothing is always true in the observing of the human condition.
	But it is largely true.
	Those who have no identity Create an identity.
	If you're not a Christian, if you're not an American in your identity, then you will have a racial identity.
	You can add Jew, you can add Muslim, I don't care what religion, for the sake of this argument.
	Most Americans have been Christian.
	To think that people value a racial identity, Proves what I have long believed and why I found Steven Pinker's book, Optimistic About the Future, to be so naive.
	We don't go in some linear moral progress.
	We have large patches of going backwards.
	We are in one of them now.
	If your primary identity is black, that notion...
	is morally primitive.
	Simple as that.
	If your primary identity is white, that is morally primitive.
	However, far more blacks are black before anything else than whites are white before anything else.
	That is a tragedy that was created by white liberals.
	That's the irony.

	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I just wanted to comment on young people not being patriotic, and I think a lot of it is the education system.
	Like, I'm from Austin originally, but I'm in St. Louis right now.
	I'm attending St. Louis University, which is a small Jesuit school.
	And when people think of this kind of corruption in the university system, they're usually talking about the more liberal universities.
	But I've been really surprised to find out that So, that was true.
	It is what is happening in our Catholic institutions as well.
	Yes, indeed.
	The effect of the left on the...
	Churches and synagogues has been devastating.

	Now, going about fatherlessness and leftism.
	So, since I had a father, Who's around?
	Am I an outlier?
	Because given how I want to tear down the statues of Confederate traitors?
	Right.
	If you're a father, you're an outlier under the following conditions.
	That your father was in your life, your whole life.
	Doesn't mean that your parents were intact.
	You could be in...
	Let me finish.
	I'll tell you the characteristics of an outlier.
	Your father was in your life your whole life.
	Your father was a strong male model.
	And you were raised with organized religion.
	If you had those three things and tear down statues, you are an outlier.
	Let me get this straight.
	Was tearing down statues of Lenin bad?
	No.
	Tearing down statues...
	Okay, if it's just...
	Okay.
	The Confederate statues is a very difficult question.
	Do we tear down...
	They were traitors.
	Come on, be honest.
	Yes, they were traitors.
	That is correct.
	Of course they were, by definition.
	And did they not succeed...
	Wait, wait, let me ask you.
	Did they not succeed for the sole purpose of the fact that Lincoln won, who vowed to halt slavery, the spread of slavery, and that was the thing that pissed them off?
	Right.
	I agree with you.
	I think they did a terrible thing.
	Okay, so let me ask you a question.
	I'm against tearing down statues because of the violence involved in the act.
	If a city council votes to take down a Confederate statue, I would vote along with them.
	However, having said that, I've often given the example of Peter Stuyvesant.
	The first mayor or governor or leader of New York City when it was Dutch, when it was New Amsterdam.
	Everybody knew he was an anti-Semite.
	I'm a Jew.
	I wouldn't tear down his statue.

	I've never read Hitler's Mein Kampf.
	But I've picked it up recently in the past week because I'm interested in learning everything I can about history.
	After spending just a day with his Mein Kampf, the spirit and essence of his race hatred that shows up in that book, a set of two books, is very similar to what I'm seeing show up in How to Be an Anti-Racist.

	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, 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?

	This Olympic athlete who won the bronze medal in the Olympic trials turned her back as they were playing the national anthem.
	She said she didn't expect the national anthem to be played and felt that she was being set up when they played it at the time they played it because they figured that she would react that way and somehow she was manipulated into, I mean, convoluted.
	I don't understand exactly what she was saying.
	All I know is that they played the national anthem.
	She turned her back.
	I look at people like Colin Kaepernick, who took a knee, and I heard him give specifics about why he was protesting.
	And what caused him to start protesting was the killing of a black man in Oakland who had a knife.
	Who resisted several commands to drop the knife, appeared to be coming towards an officer.
	He got popped.
	And that's what caused Colin Kaepernick to start.
	One of the other things Colin Kaepernick says is that a man named Mumi Abu-Jamal should be freed from prison.
	This is a man who stood over a Philadelphia police officer and killed him execution style.
	So whenever he's gotten specific, particularly the argument that the police are killing black people just because they're black, When the studies show, if anything, the police are three times more hesitant to pull the trigger on a black suspect than a white suspect, then he's full of it.
	So, regarding this athlete that won the bronze the other day and turned her back at the Olympic trials, as the national anthem was being played, tell me what specifically is your cause?
	What is it?
	What is it?
	Women make less money than...

	I had studied Marxist history, beginning with Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto from 1848.
	And when I first studied that and saw in section one of the manifesto, what you can recognize as what's called the oppressor versus oppressed narrative of human history.
	A whole bunch of stuff that was taking place in our country began to become exceptionally clear to me.
	And I began to piece together a lot of the what I'll call militant impulse that was manifesting in society as time went on.
	And there's a victimhood ideology.
	There's concept.
	Well, howdy doody everybody. howdy doody everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Rested after a four-day weekend.
	No, three-day weekend.
	Why do I say four?
	Interesting.
	Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
	Because I clued Friday, but I worked on Friday.
	I was with you, my friends.
	I wonder how many people...
	I really do wonder.
	There's no way to know, but I do wonder how many people...
	Took my advice and sang a patriotic song at their barbecue or whatever they had going on.
	I read to you the data on how young people, more than any in American history, are not proud to be American.
	What are they proud to be?
	An interesting question.
	I would love to ask them, what are you proud to be?
	I guess a white kid would probably say, I'm proud to be anti-racist.
	Hmm.
	Anti-racist comes along with Judaism and Christianity.
	Comes along with being an American, if you take our founding documents seriously.
	But, anyway, I thought I'd just repeat that fact.
	Something took place last week, many of you are aware of, went viral.
	Here's the story from the Los Angeles Times.
	Dueling protesters clashed outside a Koreatown spa on Saturday over a recent incident involving transgender rights.
	I love the way they put it.
	How about the rights of little girls not to see a penis?
	Do they have that right?
	The left is so myopic in its morality that...
	They don't even realize it.
	They don't realize how skewed their worldview is.
	By the way, there is a word for the person who went into the women's locker room at the spa where everyone was undressed, as people are in spa rooms, and went in with male genitalia.
	There's a word for this person, and that is narcissistic.
	It's an advanced case of narcissism because of the inherent contempt for children that is involved.
	So if you're a transgender activist, does a girl have a right not to be exposed?
	Do you know when men expose themselves, they're arrested?
	Right?
	So what is the difference between a man who exposes himself to a girl and is arrested, And a man who exposes himself to a girl and is demonstrated on behalf of.
	The difference is, the second one says, I'm a woman.
	But it has no impact on the little girl who is seeing the same thing.
	That he thinks that he is a woman, and I'm not going to argue with that.
	If you will, even she.
	If she thinks she's a woman, what does that have to do with the little girl being exposed to?
	But leftism is a euphemism for narcissism, and this is a perfect example of it.
	My contempt for this person is so deep that it is only matched by my contempt for those who demonstrated on behalf of little girls seeing male genitalia.
	Well, for that matter, big girls.
	They're not interested except when they're interested.
	Police ordered the crowd to disperse after fights broke out between the two groups in front of We Spa.
	Not a spa that I think you should attend.
	They defended their policy.
	And I don't see why, if you think that women should not have to be exposed to, that you would attend We Spa, WI, at the 2700 block of Wilshire Boulevard.
	According to police and videos posted on Twitter and other social media, the demonstrations were apparently spurred by an incident that occurred last weekend at the spa.
	An irate customer posted a video on Instagram under the name Cubana Angel, and it quickly went viral.
	The woman in the video complains to staff at We Spa that a man had walked into the women's section and showed his genitals to young girls, according to the video posted on the social media platform.
	The customer the woman complained about reportedly identified as a woman.
	He is a man.
	The woman can be heard saying he is not a female.
	There are girls down there, other women who were highly offended by what they just saw, and you did nothing.
	You sided with him.
	That is all correct.
	WeSPA defended its policy in a statement to Los Angeles Magazine.
	Like other metropolitan areas, Los Angeles contains a transgender population.
	Some of whom enjoy visiting a spa, the statement said.
	We spa strives to meet the needs of all its customers.
	The lie of that last sentence is breathtaking.
	You can't, again, it's another thing, you can't be on the left and not live in the world of the lie.
	They attempt to meet the needs of all their customers?
	Really?
	So the female customers who do not wish to see male genitalia, how are their needs met?
	The dishonesty of the claim is, as I said, breathtaking.
	I think all those who are interested in male genitalia in the women's locker should go to WeSpa.
	All those who think that that is a statement that is farcical and emblematic of the times in which we live should not attend WeSpa.
	That's it.
	It's another example of where we need a separation in this society.
	I believe that women should have a right, and girls in particular, to protect their innocence.
	I'm talking about the girls.
	And it's just as simple as that.
	If you think you're a man, excuse me, if you think you're a woman, and you have male genitalia, for the sake of...
	Girls and women go into the men's locker.
	There's no question that this person got a kick out of exposing him or herself.
	There's no question about it.
	If you deny it, you're living in fantasy land.
	And this is now considered to be progressive.
	I'd like you to defend it.
	I have to admit, this is a tough one for the left.
	But they do defend it.
	The best line, though, is the last line.
	Wee Spa attempts to meet the needs of all its customers.
	Well, do they believe it?
	That's my question about...
	People who espouse leftist beliefs, do they believe their lies?
	Most of the time, or much of the time, I think they do.
	But that's a tough one to argue in favor of.
	We meet the needs of all our customers, except girls who don't want to see male genitalia.
	Okay, 1-8 Prager 776. Most defrightening article of the weekend, and that's saying something, is from Reason Magazine.
	To stop climate change, Americans must cut energy use by 90%, live in 640 square feet, and fly once every three years, says the study.
	There are a lot of people who would sign on to this.
	Needless to say, it starts in academia.
	In order to save the planet from catastrophic climate change, Americans will have to cut their energy use by more than 90%.
	And families of four should live in housing no larger than 640 square feet.
	640 square feet is 20 by 30. Family of four should live in a place 20 by 30. So, 4 into 600 is 150. So, per person, it's 150 square feet.
	So, it's pretty much a jail cell of space.
	Are these people serious?
	You read this article.
	You think they're serious?
	So, the professors who came up with this, they would like that?
	To live?
	With three others in 650 square feet?
	That's according to a team of European researchers led by University of Leeds.
	By the way, I attended University of Leeds.
	Sustainability researcher Yefim Vogel, in their new study, Socioeconomic Conditions for Satisfying Human Needs at Low Energy Use in Global Environmental Change, They calculate that public transportation should account for most travel.

	Yeah, it uses energy, and worst of all, gives people freedom.

	When did you wake up and say, hang on, this is not good?
	Well, like I said earlier, I've been in for over 15 years.
	The first 14 years of my career, I was in the Air Force, was in the flying community, and then came into the Space Force.
	Every unit that I've ever been in...
	All of my professional interactions with people during the preponderance of my career have been highly professional, not politicized.
	We focus on a mission that unifies us.
	We wear the same uniform and we go out and do our job every day.
	And when I noticed personally these things really rapidly beginning to change was in the past calendar year, but specifically in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.
	What you saw in broader society in the form of social justice activism pouring into the streets, the disruption of civil liberties, for example, and the dialogue, if you want to call it that, that ensued in the aftermath is the very thing that I saw just spill over into active duty military units.
	Now, I'll be clear that every unit is different.
	Every leader is different.
	Every base is different.
	But that's when I was really keen on seeing this happen.
	Now I've been in academia for the past two years.
	And so what I'm able to share is simply one man's perception of when this is...
	I left academia in June of last year and came out to my current base and have had these experiences.

	So this is what they're proposing for us in order to save the planet.
	All right?
	This is the new published study.
	Travel should be limited to between 3,000 to 10,000 miles per person annually.
	Vogel and his colleagues, this is at the University of Leeds, set themselves the goal of figuring out how to provide sufficient need satisfaction, much lower ecologically sustainable levels of energy use.
	They argue that human needs are sufficiently satisfied when each person has access to the energy equivalent of 7,500 kilowatt hours of electricity per capita.
	That is about how much energy the average Bolivian uses.
	Here's the question.
	I don't mean this sarcastically.
	Are there any non-idiots in the professoriate?
	And the answer is there are.
	But it comes with two major qualifiers.
	They're cowards, they don't speak out, and they're rare.
	Okay?
	So in other words, if I hear you're a professor, I assume you're a fool.
	That's it.
	Can you give me an argument?
	Do you think this professor and his group are fools?
	You think the journal that published this are fools?
	Of course they are!
	We should go down to what an average Bolivian lives like?
	For the sake of the environment?
	Use nuclear power and solve the whole issue.
	They don't want to solve the issue.
	They want us to live like Bolivians.
	That's the point.
	If you don't understand how evil the left is, how destructive, how chaotic, Its beliefs are?
	Then you don't understand them.
	Americans use about 80,000 kilowatt hours annually per capita.
	They want us to use 7,500.
	That's one-tenth.
	With respect to transportation and physical mobility, the average person would be limited to using the energy equivalent of 16 to 40 gallons of gasoline per year.
	You hear that?
	16 to 40. That's what I get in two fill-ups.
	That's it.
	That would be it.
	I could fill my car twice a year.
	People are assumed to take one short to medium haul airplane trip every three years.
	In addition, food consumption per capita would vary depending on age and other conditions, but the average would be 2,100 calories per day.
	While just over 10% of the world's people are unfortunately still undernourished, the Food and Agricultural Organization reports that the daily global average food supply now stands at just under 3,000 calories per person.
	Each individual has allocated a new clothing allowance of 9 pounds a year, and clothes may be washed 20 times annually.
	There you go.
	This is what comes out of the universities.
	If it weren't published, I wouldn't even report it to you.
	Sirius, so-called Sirius Journal, published it.
	Did you get that issue of global environmental change?
	I know you and your wife, you run to the, wherever you pick up your mail.

	1-8 Prager 776. Remember something.
	It starts out sounding moronic, and then it becomes policy.
	It's not so long ago that if a person walked into a women's spa and exposed his male genitalia, he would be arrested.

	I had a conversation with a guy this weekend, an atheist who believes the world is overpopulated, and I asked him that same question.
	Are you serious?
	Are you sincere?
	What is your level of commitment?
	Because if you're committed to degrowth and depopulation, you need to off yourself to show me that you're truly committed.
	And he laughed at me.
	We just want everyone else to live by these standards, and they themselves will fly in jet planes, live in large houses, and reproduce while their centralized command and control by intellectuals continues to be a failure.
	Well, that's Al Gore.
	You just described Al Gore with his...
	and a lot of these leading environmentalists.
	Flying in private jets, using far more energy than anybody else.
	I happen not to care.
	If there's one piece I'd like you to read from the year 2021, it's Bjorn Lomborg's piece that just came out in the LA Times, amazingly.
	No, no, USA Today, amazingly.
	And how...
	So many fewer people are dying because of climate than ever before.
	Because the great killer is cold, not heat.
	So global warming has actually been saving lives.
	But the left doesn't care about saving lives.
	They care about disrupting civilization because of the deep boredom in their soul that comes from the religionless...
	Lives that they were raised with.
	That's what it is.
	Give me purpose.
	I was raised with none.

	What is your message to those who think this isn't a big deal or who feel cowed and intimidated?

	I've never read Hitler's Mein Kampf.
	But I've picked it up recently in the past week because I'm interested in learning everything I can about history.
	After spending just a day with his Mein Kampf, the spirit and essence of his race hatred that shows up in that book, a set of two books, is very similar to what I'm seeing show up in How to Be an Anti-Racist.

	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.
	Two-part question.
	Go ahead.
	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 and jumped out.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.

	Parents revolt at Manhattan Pasha's spend school.
	So this is happening more and more now, of parents revolting about what's happening at their schools.
	And that's what you've got to do.
	If you don't fight, we're losing the country.
	Anyway, your kids will be poisoned.
	Truly, it's poison.
	What is happening?
	And now there are more fights.
	Parents are fighting back.
	Teachers unions are getting worse.
	I know.
	The NEA. I'm going to report about that.
	That is exactly correct.
	Teachers unions are fighting the parents.
	Teachers unions are fighting the children.
	Yeah.
	America's largest teachers union.
	Has announced that backs the teaching of critical race theory in schools, wants to hire staff to fight back against those who oppose CRT, and has called for an October, this is Daily Mail, an October 14th rally to be held in honor of George Floyd's birthday.
	Is that something?
	Teachers union.
	America's largest teachers union.
	Teaching professionals is completely corrupted.
	Most noble profession on earth, teaching, has been ruined by the left.
	Everything top to bottom.
	Everything the left touches, it ruins.
	You've got to take your kids out of school or fight.
	But why you would allow your child to be taught by fools and to loathe everything that you admire, I don't know.
	I don't understand.
	The resolution reads that the NEA, National Education Association, will provide, quote, an already created in-depth study that critiques...
	Listen to this.
	You have to hear this.
	This is an official statement of the National Education Association.
	That the curricula should involve a critique of empire, White supremacy, anti-blackness, anti-indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, and here's my favorite, cis-heteropatriarchy.
	Do you know what cis-heteropatriarchy is?
	I'll tell you what it is.
	Men identifying as men.
	And marrying women and making nuclear families based on that.
	Capitalism?
	Capitalism.
	Able-ism.
	I'm looking at a very bright man right now.
	Sir, can you give me an example?
	I'm not being cute.
	Can you give me an example of ableism?
	No.
	Ableism is...
	Racism is discrimination on the basis of race.
	Ableism is discrimination on the basis of ability.
	But I don't understand...
	I mean, if you have one leg, you can't play first base.
	Is that ableist?
	I'm very serious.
	Is that an example of ableism?
	That I would not be admitted into a marathon.
	Is that an example of ableism?
	Anthropocentrism, that is human-centered points of view, and other forms of power and oppression of the intersections of society.
	So you understand everything good.
	The NEA, your kids' teachers wish to destroy, but you will continue to send your kids to school and you won't fight.
	Then, with great compassion, I mean it, I just say you deserve the consequences of the type of human being the schools will make.
	If you don't fight and you don't take your child out, They're announcing.
	They're not hiding what they want to do.
	Do you realize that?
	They will critique anthropocentrism.
	That means the belief that humans are the most valuable creature, they will critique.
	Well, of course they will, because they don't believe that humans are created in God's image.
	We religious people have such quaint views, and they have contempt for us and our religion.

	One of the other things Colin Kaepernick says is that a man named Mumi Abu-Jamal should be freed from prison.

	I don't have the answer, but I'll bet it's more than 20. On October 15th, we will have another day of action to commemorate Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, Tamir Rice and other black lives taken by police.
	President Becky Pringle, shucking a woman, has also agreed to make public statements in support of critical race theory and racial honesty in education.

	There are several laws in California that have created this sort of right of action and the disasters.
	I've seen it in a dozen other situations.
	So let me ask you, right, it's a very important call, and I knew you'd, obviously I had it on the board, and I'm very happy that you clarified this fact.
	So where are our chambers of commerce?
	Why isn't there a revolt by store owners?
	I said there should have been a revolt a long time ago.
	If I can make an analogy, when the pandemic hit, I said store owners should contact...
	That's right.
	That's what I said.
	Yes.

	I don't know.
	What is the analogy?
	Folded like what?
	They're absent.
	They don't see the big picture.
	I said a couple years ago, and I was tempted to go into the women's thing at the gym just as a test case.
	That's right.
	Just to cause problems.
	You'd have won.
	But I didn't because my parents are off.

	I had studied Marxist history, beginning with Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto from 1848.
	And when I first studied that and saw in section one of the manifesto, what you can recognize as what's called the oppressor versus oppressed narrative of human history.
	a whole bunch of stuff that was taking place.
	In our country began to become exceptionally clear to me.
	And I began to piece together a lot of the what I'll call militant impulse that was manifesting in society as time went on.
	And there's a victimhood ideology.
	There's constantly an effort by some individuals who have an agenda to Pit groups of people against one another as victims or oppressed groups and oppressor groups.
	And we've seen very clearly over the past calendar year who the oppressor group is labeled to be and who the oppressed groups are labeled to be.
	And right now, under the auspices of diversity and inclusion training, as well as critical race theory and other narratives of American history that have been parading about throughout the country and showing up in our education system.
	All of those narratives seek to divide the American people by pitting people against one another into racial groups.
	It's the white versus the black.
	It used to be class, division by class.
	Now it's division by race, by skin color.

	What the NEA plans to teach your children is now out.
	You have no excuse.
	They want to ruin the country.
	They want to ruin the West, the family, everything that is good.
	They acknowledge it.
	So what are you going to do?
	My heart goes out to parents.
	Because the challenge of homeschooling seems daunting, and it might be, I don't know.
	But there are times in life, a lot of times, where my answer to an issue is, what's my choice?
	And I think that's a very important answer to adopt.
	What's the alternative?
	That's the terminology that I use.
	I have that view with regard to happiness.
	When bad things have happened to me, people have commented, people in my life, you still act happy.
	And I would always respond, because this is what convinced me.
	What's the alternative?
	To be unhappy?
	I don't want that alternative.
	What is the alternative?
	To homeschooling or finding one of the rare good schools.
	The alternative is that your child will be taught horrible things about you, about America, about religion, about capitalism, which is the only antidote to poverty in human history, about the nuclear family.
	So ask yourself, what's the alternative to taking my kid out of school?
	And then you'll see, you'll have to answer, there is no alternative.
	And that would change the country.
	If millions of Americans took their kids out of school, that would be a non-violent civil war.
	And it would be a victory on Gettysburg proportions.
	Such it is.
	What's our timing, my friend?
	Yeah, all right.
	Did you know that we're going to cover this next hour.
	Did you know that global warming has decreased death from climate?
	The great Bjorn Lomburg has a piece on this.

	You believe in God, Chuck?
	Why does a kid die and a drug dealer get off?

	You have a choice.
	You can either let the darkness overtake you, or you can be a bearer of the light.

	This is the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	I actually previewed last hour, forgetting it would be the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	So I previewed a theme that I will address tomorrow.
	This is unbelievably important, the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	Now you realize, many of you realized earlier, but now you realize even better.
	How important it is to have a clear outlook on life.
	Otherwise, you're susceptible to nonsense, which is what is now taught from kindergarten to university.
	So we talk about the great issues.
	I have one today.
	Every one of you...
	No, no.
	That's not exactly correct.
	The vast majority of you are aware of...
	All the studies that I respect, anyway, anyway, all the studies, even the ones I don't respect, note the benefits of a religious life.
	People are happier, they live longer, they have more people in their lives.
	By every criterion, it is a better way to live.
	So, what stops you?
	Not what stops you from believing in God.
	It's not the issue.
	I have raised that issue.
	That's not the issue.
	The issue is what stops you from leading a religious life.
	You can lead a religious life while you struggle with the question of God's existence.
	They're not the same thing.
	Here's a related issue.
	People who say, I'm not going to raise my kids with any religion.
	I'll let them choose when they get older.
	Why don't you say that about anything else?
	I'm not going to give my kid music lessons.
	If they're interested in an instrument, they'll take one later.
	Right?
	Why is that different?
	Of course, anyway, fewer and fewer parents are probably giving their kids musical instruments.
	You know that a piano was normative in all but the poorest homes in American history?
	Might have been a hand-me-down and needed to be tuned a lot, but some piano.
	Not today.
	If people played an instrument as much as they play video games, we would have a phenomenally cultured society.
	We have orchestras in every little town.
	You know, John Lennon wrote Imagine.
	I imagine too.
	I imagine I should do that.
	I should write a column on what I would imagine.
	Yeah, I would imagine every kid got music lessons and joined an orchestra.
	I would imagine that kids had strong fathers who told them right from wrong.
	I would imagine that kids would go to church or synagogue each week, whether they liked it or not.
	Anyway, I'll stop imagining.
	I want you to tell me, given the factual benefits of a religious life, And I'm not talking spiritual life.
	I don't even know what that means.
	I literally do not know what spiritual life means.
	If you can explain it.
	As opposed to a religious life.
	Religious life is a life involved in a religion.
	I don't know.
	What is a spiritual life?
	A life involved with spirits?
	I'm not being cute.
	What does it mean?
	What stops you from being religious?
	Given the benefits that adhere to it.
	Now, 1-8 Prager-776-877-243-776.
	Some people will undoubtedly say, well, I just can't believe in God.
	Okay, I don't know why you can't believe in God.
	My take is, you choose to believe in God.
	I made that choice at a very early age.
	It's the greatest choice I ever made.
	I don't know for certain that there is a God.
	I believe very strongly that there is a God.
	How could I know for certain?
	All evidence suggests there is.
	I cannot believe.
	In fact, science is my greatest single evidence right now.
	Science not only doesn't refute God, science argues for God.
	His great book that I just read.
	Return of the God Hypothesis by Stephen Meyer.
	I mean, I didn't understand chunks of it because of the physics, but it was still worth it.
	I mean, the evidence is so overwhelming for a creator and an intelligent creator.
	If you saw a computer on Jupiter, would you think it just came there?
	Or would you think that...
	And intelligence had made it.
	How do you have intelligence from non-intelligence?
	I mean, you think it's more rational to believe that we went from rocks to any one of us on its own?
	I mean, that's an absurdity.
	Charles Krauthammer, when I had him on, said of all the things that he's ever heard, and he was an agnostic.
	Atheism was the stupidest.
	So, I can't believe that it's only, oh, I can't believe in God, that's why I'm not religiously involved.
	See, my view is, like happiness, you choose to be happy.
	I think you should choose to believe in God and choose to lead a religious life.
	You have problems with the religion in which you were raised?
	Guess what?
	Every thinking person does.
	I don't know anybody who has no problems with the religion in which they were raised.
	Therefore what?
	therefore it's not worth leaving a religious life what stops people that you know I mean, do you realize that, what is it, a third of young people now say they are a nun, N-O-N-E, they don't believe in any religion, they have no faith?
	You think they're happier for it?
	You want to know the results of that, in part?
	What you saw last year.
	The hysteria.
	The massive thievery.
	Think those thieves are churchgoers?
	Think the people who would twerk on police cars are churchgoers?
	I mean, why isn't it obvious to every thinking person that as we get more secular, we decline as a society?
	Why is it that not obvious?
	You know why?
	People don't want to believe what is rational.
	They want to believe what they want to believe, what they have committed their lives to.
	So if you've committed your life to secularism, you want to believe it was a great choice.
	Well, you know what?
	It was a crappy choice.
	Sorry.
	Doesn't mean you're a bad person.
	There are a lot of nice, wonderful secular people.
	But it was a very foolish choice.
	For you, for your family, and children in particular.
	I know a guy really, really well who doesn't believe in God and goes to church regularly.
	That's exactly what he should be doing.
	He feels elevated at the service.
	Whether he intellectually has made peace with the God or not is a separate issue from having something that elevates him each week.
	Are you elevated by something every week?
	Something secular?
	I'd like to know what it is.

	Trending now on the Larry Oller Show.
	The Olympic athlete who won the bronze medal in the Olympic trials turned her back as they were playing the national anthem.
	She said she didn't expect the national anthem to be played and felt that she was being set up when they played it at the time they played it because they figured that she would react that way and somehow she was manipulated into, I mean, convoluted.
	I don't understand exactly what she was saying.
	All I know is that they played the national anthem.
	She turned her back.
	I look at people like Colin Kaepernick who took a knee and I heard him give specifics about why he was protesting.
	And what caused him to start protesting was the killing of a black man in Oakland who had a knife, who resisted several commands to drop the knife, appeared to be coming towards an officer.
	He got popped.
	And that's what caused Colin Kaepernick to start.
	One of the other things Colin Kaepernick says is that a man named Mumi Abu-Jamal should be freed from prison.
	This is a man who stood over a Philadelphia police officer and killed him execution style.
	So whenever he's gotten specific, particularly...
	The argument that the police are killing black people just because they're black, when the studies show, if anything, the police are three times more hesitant to pull the trigger on a black suspect than a white suspect, then he's full of it.
	So, regarding this athlete that won the bronze the other day and turned her back at the Olympic trials, as the national anthem was being played, tell me what specifically is your cause?
	What is it?
	What is it?
	Women make less money than men do for doing the same work.
	That's not true.
	I'm not saying that's her cause, but give it to me.
	What is it?
	What are you bitching about?
	What are you moaning about?
	What are you groaning about?
	What?

	What stops you from becoming active in a religion?
	Everybody knows how much better it is for happiness and health, people, Generally produce better kids.
	So why don't people become religiously active?
	I don't have a good answer.
	I think it's partially laziness.
	It takes an effort.
	There are a lot of reasons.
	The religions have shot themselves in the foot too.
	Because so many of them have become voices of nihilism, i.e.
	leftism, instead of religion.
	Nevertheless, there are a lot of wonderful places out there.
	You all know my situation.
	I'm a religious Jew.
	And I go to synagogue every Saturday.
	And I have a Sabbath dinner every Friday night with a whole bunch of people.
	And I've got to tell you, they are life-saving.
	My Sabbath is a life-saver.
	I do it because I do believe God commanded it in the Ten Commandments, absolutely.
	But I do it primarily for selfish reasons now.
	I can't imagine not having this oasis of non-news leaving the world for a day of the week.
	I can't imagine it.
	It's available to anybody who seeks it.
	So that's an issue.
	There was a guy who called, it's too bad, I think from New Hampshire, and he hung up.
	And it's an interesting subject for me to raise with you.
	He said, religion is about a relationship with God.
	I believe that was the terminology, I'm not sure.
	Not about rules.
	And I really wanted to take that call because I have the opposite view.
	Religion is about rules.
	How could it not be about rules?
	God doesn't have a prescribed way that we should live?
	That's an interesting thing.
	I think that's part of the reason for the decline in religiosity is that people stop teaching religion as rules.
	Well, what do I need it for then?
	There are rules in football.
	There are rules in baseball.
	There are rules in everything we do, but not how to govern our lives.
	Isn't that what I want religion for?
	I think it was last week I actually did the subject on the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	What's the purpose of religion?
	And I think it's to teach you how to lead a good life.
	I can't imagine what better purpose it would have.
	All the rule books of everything in life except how to lead your life?
	So that's...
	Alright, let's see here.
	Tom in Sandusky, Ohio.
	Hello.
	Hello, Daz.
	How are you?
	Well, thank you.
	The reason I think, first of all, you ask if anybody really believes everything their religion teaches.
	I do.
	I'm a Roman Catholic.
	And we taught a marriage preparation course.
	And I think a big reason people leave the church is that they have rules, like you said.
	And one of the rules is no sex before marriage.
	And they want to do that.
	And they choose to do that over their religion.
	And if they're not doing what their religion says, You know, why go to church?
	Because I'm not practicing what the church teaches.
	Right, so I'm curious.
	Do you agree?
	You're a faithful Catholic.
	Do you agree with them or disagree with them?
	With who?
	Those who say, listen, I don't follow the rules, so why should I go to church?
	Do you agree with that logic?
	I don't agree with it, but I see it.
	Right, but it's illogical.
	Well, no it isn't.
	If you don't believe something, why be a hypocrite and go to church?
	Okay, so you do agree with him.
	That's my point.
	Wait, let me make that clear.
	I don't want to put any words in your mouth.
	You think it's hypocrisy to go to church if you have sex before marriage?
	No, I think it places a conflict with him.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	You use the word hypocrisy.
	I'm not trying to catch you at all.
	I want to know...
	What you meant by that.
	Do you believe you're a hypocrite if you go to Catholic Church and have premarital sex?
	No.
	Okay, good.
	That's it.
	So there you go.
	So they believe something illogical.
	You are not a hypocrite if you have premarital sex and you go to church.
	Okay?
	You're not a hypocrite.
	You're a sinner.
	That's not the same thing.
	I'm telling you folks, do you know I have spent my life unraveling idiocy?
	That is what I have done for a living.
	That is the best way to describe my profession.
	Unraveling stupidity.
	That's it.
	That call was not stupid.
	I just want to make that clear.
	He raised the issue, though.
	Oh, well, I have premarital sex, so I therefore shouldn't go to church or synagogue.
	It's a non-sequitur.
	Everybody thinks that everybody at church is following every rule?
	who thinks that?
	Yeah, you know, I sing off-key I'm definitely not going to listen to Handel's Messiah.
	That's hypocrisy.
	I'm not going to a concert.
	I can't play an instrument.
	I can't keep a tune.
	I'm not going to a concert.
	That's the same thing.
	The same thing.
	Okay.
	Got that off my chest.

	This is the Ultimate Issues Hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
	What stops you from being religious is the question, and already provocative subjects have arisen.
	I want to make the last point as clear as possible.
	The fact that you don't follow all of the religion's teachings is no reason not to go to church or synagogue.
	You still need what it offers you.
	Community.
	Elevating.
	Talk, hopefully.
	Elevating.
	It's one of my favorite verbs.
	It's never used anymore in secular life.
	Because nothing in secular life elevates people.
	Think about it.
	It's a celebration of basically of the animal.
	We are animal and we are in God's image.
	We are both.
	Okay, Highland, California.
	David.
	Hello, David.
	Happy Tuesday, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Thank you for calling.
	I was thinking about what you said as religion being defined as something that It's behavior-based.
	You know, it changes your life.
	It's an instruction manual.
	But I think that is putting the cart before the horse.
	Religion, I heard a wise man tell me once, was defined as relinking to God.
	Religion is the term that does that.
	So the broken link between man and his creator is how do you fix that?
	There's a very brilliant anthropologist who is a Christian named Don Richardson.
	They did a lot of comparative religion study, and he was a missionary to Papua New Guinea.
	And he had wrote a book called Peace Child.
	And it was about every culture has a religion trying to relink them with their creator somehow.
	And that's the essence of religion, and how you work that out is how it affects your behavior.
	Well, look, I have a very open attitude.
	If that prescribes...
	Produces a holier, finer human being.
	That attitude.
	And I'm sure you're one of them.
	Or I suspect you are.
	That's great.
	I don't agree with anything you said.
	The ancients linked to God by child sacrifice and human sacrifice.
	How do you know that's wrong if you don't have a code book?
	In fact, I'll ask you that if you're still on.
	Yeah, I'm still here.
	How do you know that that's wrong?
	Well, God has revealed himself to us.
	Oh, so you do wait.
	So wait.
	Then there is a rule book.
	Of course.
	I'm not saying there isn't.
	I'm just saying you...
	The rule book tells you how to link to God.
	You can't link to God on your own.
	You need a rule book.
	Right, but that doesn't mean that people won't try.
	And how do they try to do it?
	Well, they try to do it through good works or child sacrifice or drugs.
	Well, all sorts of different ways.
	I try through good works.
	How do you try?
	I try through repentance and trusting in the blood of Jesus Christ.
	Right.
	Okay.
	So, is repentance action?
	Repentance?
	Yeah.
	Change of mind is what it means.
	If you change your mind and you receive what Christ did for you on the cross.
	So, if you change your mind but not your behavior, it's okay in God's eyes?
	Well, Apostle Paul has interesting arguments about that.
	That's like saying, is a tree good because it has good fruit?
	A bad tree doesn't produce good fruit.
	So it's synonymous.
	So if you have changed inwardly, your behavior changes.
	Alright, fair enough.
	Look, this is not soluble.
	I am works-oriented.
	I fully acknowledge it.
	I think God cares more.
	About how I behave and how I believe.
	But I only care about the fruit.
	So if people come to the fruit through faith or they come to the fruit through works, if the fruit are good, I'm happy.
	And that's why...
	I am so worried about a secular society.
	The fruits stink.
	That's the amazing thing.
	Our universities are the most secular place in society, and they produce the worst people.
	I mean, really, bad folk with their ideas that are ruining a beautiful place.
	Religious leaders should all be on a war like Pope Benedict was.

	But what's happened in the media, the narrative, the media cover for the Democrat double-cross, is they're out there saying, oh, the Republicans always knew there would be a reconciliation.
	I keep saying, no, no, no.
	The Republicans knew that they were going to pass infrastructure Then you would try to pass reconciliation, but they knew it wouldn't pass.
	They were never joined at the hip.
	Am I right?
	You're 100% right.
	It's without any question.
	This is how we see these socialist ideas start being socialized in their public forum.
	It is wrong.
	It is not consistent with any deal that was ever on the table.
	As far as I know, we had this conversation just last Thursday amongst the Republican senators.
	This was a non-starter for everyone that was in the room.
	And I believe that members of your caucus, who I talked to, were counting on Manchin, Sinema, Hassan, and a few others to sink the reconciliation deal, and that this was a way to jump over that opposition by linking the two.
	Am I right again?
	Don't know the answer to that question, to be honest with you, Hugh.
	I would say that there's no doubt that there's been a bipartisan coalition interested.
	In reducing the infrastructure package, the question is, can the Democrats stand the heat in the kitchen?
	If they can, then they stand against their party.

	The subject of this Ultimate Issues Hour is what prevents you from being religious given the obvious benefits.
	So far I have ruled out the following.
	Doubts about God.
	So what?
	Therefore you won't...
	Go to something elevating every Sunday or Saturday?
	I don't get it.
	Therefore, you won't study the Bible, the wisest book ever written?
	If you're an atheist, it's the wisest book ever written.
	Or, well, I don't follow everything my church or synagogue teaches.
	Who does?
	Very few.
	Some do.
	Some do.
	I acknowledge it.
	Many don't.
	So, therefore what?
	Okay, my friends.

	Hello, Dennis.
	The reason why, I'm just going the other way, because I was at one time religious, and now I dropped out of it.

	I just went when I was in Iraq.
	The military chaplain said, well, maybe this would be in your best interest to Go to a Bible study, so on and so forth.
	What I found out is that it didn't help me because I had to accept the human condition as it is.
	That is with all the failures, the human foibles, the shortcomings, and the sins.
	Because I don't believe that the condition that humans were to exist in is based on perfection.
	It's based on the way we are, imperfection.
	And so just for my psychological and emotional health, you know, I was everywhere, everything I was doing, I was questioning.
	I was, am I doing this right?
	Am I doing this wrong?
	Looking to my left, looking over my shoulder.
	My whole life, it seemed like all the waking moments of the day was taken up with this.
	So when I jettisoned that, I had some internal freedom that I was able to think.
	That doesn't mean that I'm not going to strive for growth and human betterment, self-betterment.
	Give me two examples.
	Since you have so many examples, every day you would look to the left and right.
	Am I doing this right?
	Am I doing this wrong?
	Give me two examples.
	Because I'm not picking up exactly what you're referring to.
	Well, it's kind of complex.
	It does delve into my thought life.
	whether I should be charitable in this case or should be not charitable, should be looking out for myself or should be putting other-- So those are great examples.
	Okay, why is that bad?
	Aren't you a better person if you struggle with those questions?
	Because there's a degree of self-acceptance that I think is healthy.
	And that means that I don't live in absolute perfection.
	I don't believe that I was meant to.
	Right, but what religion demands absolute perfection?
	I accept my limitations.
	What religion demands absolute perfection?
	Well, I think that in the Judeo-Christianity, the theological sense is that you are meant to be a certain way.
	Yes, correct, but nobody expects you to.
	It's a beautiful way of getting better.
	And yes, you struggle.
	Israel means struggle with God.
	A lot of people don't know that, but it's actually in the Hebrew in the Bible.
	Turning now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
	We are losing almost anything in our country that hasn't been corrupted or co-opted or hijacked by the activists.
	We as human beings are not wired for this perpetual state of activism.
	We live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
	So how could someone like Gwen Berry, a black female hammer thrower, how could she possibly get to the conclusion where she thinks America is so evil and so awful that she will turn her back during the national anthem and she will say that She is protesting systemic racism.
	And she said, I felt like I was set up and they played the national anthem on purpose.
	Oh yeah, they played the national anthem on purpose, Gwen Berry.
	That's sort of a prerequisite of being an athlete and winning.
	Well, I'm sorry, you didn't win.
	You got third.
	She said, quote, they said they were going to play it before we walked out.
	And they played it when we were out there.
	But I don't really want to talk about the anthem because that's not important.
	The anthem doesn't speak for me.
	It never has.
	Well, then what does speak for you, Gwen Berry?
	The Chinese call for arms because you're wearing Nike up and down your uniform.
	And we're going to get to Nike, by the way.
	No American patriot should ever buy Nike again.
	Nike came out and they said, we are a Chinese company.
	I kid you not.
	Nike would start at the University of Oregon when my uncle and my father and my aunt were all there with Prefontaine and Phil Knight and all the gang there.
	They've now come out and they've said they are a Chinese company.
	and I'll prove it to you. - Do you feel double-crossed by President Biden threatening to veto the infrastructure compromise unless he got a reconciliation bill at the same time?
	Well, there's no doubt about it.
	Anytime you think you have a deal, even though I may have voted against that deal, to have something added to that is just the irresponsible, disrespectful, and definitely craters the deal from my perspective.
	The 10 members who they were counting on, I know Lindsey Graham has said it cratered the deal.
	Have the other ones, have they talked to you yet about absolutely being bewildered and done with a sham process?
	We have not had a conversation at all.
	We have not had a conversation at all.
	We have not had a conversation at all.
	Final segment of this Ultimate Issues Hour.
	I ought to write a book on the case for being religious, even if you're not religious.
	That's what I believe.
	I'm a behaviorist, my friends.
	It has truly done me good in my life.
	Done well and done me good.
	Do it if it's right, whether you feel it or not.
	It's my whole view on happiness, and it's my view of religiosity.
	I chose to believe in God.
	I chose to go to synagogue every week.
	I chose to study the Bible.
	I chose to devote much of my years to writing a Bible commentary.
	It's all a choice.
	They were great choices.
	I didn't make them because I had some Major religious epiphany.
	I didn't even have a minor religious epiphany.
	The only epiphany I ever had was at Columbia University.
	And it's written on the internet, How I Found God at Columbia.
	Just take a look at it.
	It's a long time ago, and it's still the way it is.
	I want to summarize some of your calls.
	This is very important stuff.
	Oh, God, I see.
	This is a good example.
	I'd like to take every one of your calls.
	So don't hang up, because then I can't see what you have to say.
	All right, let's see.
	Lorraine in Pennsylvania.
	Spiritual life is a life filled with the Spirit of God.
	Yeah, that's true.
	But I only know if you're filled with the Spirit of God by your behavior.
	So, I return to the behavior issue.
	Frank in Woodland Hills, California, grew up in fear in the Catholic Church.
	Felt like a failure not being able to do right.
	It's an interesting question about how much that was induced in people.
	You're a failure if you didn't do right.
	I really would like that call, Frank, maybe Friday.
	Steve in L.A., no benefit to religion beyond the social slash community benefit.
	Well, let me just say this, Steve.
	If you had a social slash community benefit, that would be reason enough for you to do it.
	I think there are massive other benefits.
	You're a better person if you take it seriously.
	Anyway, Hazeem in Florida, Richard in New Jersey.
	And Robert and Sheldon in California.
	All great calls.
	Please give it a thought.
