	Larry Elder is on the ballot in California.
	He is by far the favorite among the opponents of Gavin Newsom.
	The question is whether the people of California will do what the people of Washington and Illinois, Chicago, New York, and every other metropolitan area do, and that is votes to hurt themselves.
	I've never quite seen something like this, where people vote those who hurt them.
	Vote for those who hurt them.
	Which shows you that true belief is more powerful than even self-interest.
	the human yearning to believe in something is that deep.
	I mentioned to you last week that the dictator of China, Xi, gave a speech at the 100th anniversary of one of the most blood-soaked regimes gave a speech at the 100th anniversary of one of the most blood-soaked regimes in the history of the world, the Communist Party of China, in which his father
	and other relatives were terribly hurt by Mao, and he stands there and lauds Mao.
	Now, if you can laud somebody who beat your father, Thanks to whom your father was beaten, to be more precise, then you can vote for people who, figuratively, beat you.
	Blacks voting for Democrats are doing exactly that.
	People who live in safe places say defund the police.
	Now the mayor of Portland, an a-hole if there ever was one, has come out in favor of more police.
	The beauty of being on the left is something I wrote about a quarter of a century ago.
	I believe it's on the internet.
	Being on the left means never having to say you're sorry.
	It's one of the great benefits of being on the left.
	I have on the line Ronald Pastrito, professor of politics at Hillsdale College.
	And I'm glad to bring to your attention an important new book, America Transformed the Rise and Legacy of American Progressivism.
	Do you want to understand what the origins of America's left are?
	This is a book to do so.
	Professor Pastrito, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thanks for having me on.
	Yes, indeed.
	People don't know, and it's understandable, they think, to the extent that they think, they think that it started in the 60s.
	That's incorrect.
	Is that right?
	Well, that's right.
	The 60s are a reflection of what came before in earlier waves of liberalism, but one of the reasons I wrote the book is because people now in our times have become so...
	So troubled many of them by what they see and don't know that there's a much longer history to this.
	That's right.
	When would you say it began?
	So I try to place it in the book back to the latter part of the 1900s and really, Dennis, to just the really big changes that happened in American higher education at that time.
	Because the progressive movement and a lot of the ideas that we get filtering in, really changing the country in the 20th and now 21st century, really were the result of very different political principles that were imported into the country in the second part of the 1900s after the Civil War.
	And that started in universities, and then it influenced later, around the turn of the 20th century, the major political movement of progressivism.
	You know, the more famous national figures that people may have heard of, people like Peter Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
	Right.
	So, I have told people for many years that my dating, which is exactly yours, is, again, to the end of the 19th century, the 1800s, largely because, tell me if this is accurate, American universities, by and large, were not granting doctorates.
	So people went to Germany, among other places in Europe, but especially Germany for doctorates, and the Germans had created the socialist idea.
	That's actually quite correct.
	And if you look at higher education in America, say at the end of the Civil War, it doesn't look anything like what it became, say, 50 years later, because we didn't have these specialized degrees.
	Small colleges, most of them were religious in their orientation.
	But the trendy thing to do, and, you know, we so often fall victim to wanting to be elite, wanting to do the trendy things.
	You had a lot of good schools with orthodox boards, trustees that wanted to do the trendy thing and get some of these European PhDs onto their faculties.
	And so you had really a transformation.
	And that's where ideas percolated, you know, at the top of our politics and kind of filtered down into our thinking, into our language over the decades and generations.
	So I think, actually, you are putting your finger on the right spot there.
	It's very disconcerting.
	You don't have to react to this, but I just want to remind my listeners that I have many sayings about life.
	One of them is, Germany is always wrong.
	I mean, I will react to it.
	I think one, to sort of underscore that in the context of our conversation, we're talking in modern liberalism about a move away from America's original constitutional principles, that government is limited, it's there to secure God-given natural rights that we have before God.
	You know, government wasn't given to us, it's just supposed to be there to protect them for us.
	That was a philosophy that was targeted by the German state theorists in the 19th century and that ultimately brought over here by way of getting in those with the PhDs in the social sciences especially.
	And that was what they tried to do with the social sciences was to give themselves or clothe themselves with the mantle of expertise that the natural sciences had.
	And to sort of put them to be able to claim a certain amount of authority thereby.
	Right.
	It's an objective truth that government should be big.
	It's not an opinion.
	It's the intended result of history.
	And that was the argument of the German state there.
	So do you in your book document any blowback?
	I mean, these scholars would come back from Germany.
	With these completely un-American ideas, did nobody at their colleges say, hello, this is not American?
	There was some resistance, but remarkably little.
	And you can find plenty of opposition to the policies that the progressives proposed and to their institutional reforms and proposals.
	But what you find in those debates, especially, even among people whom you might consider conservatives, for lack of a better way of putting it at the time, people like Taft or Coolidge or others, that even in pushing back against the policies, they tend to use the language of the living constitution of historical progress.
	And what it tells you is how deeply that idea...
	What I tell my students is it was kind of in the air and the water at the time.
	And so even genuine policy debates were already sort of taking place in this new framework, this new way of talking about politics.
	You know, progressives always talked about it as a living organism.
	It's always on the move.
	You can't talk about permanent principles.
	Your government depends on the times.
	And so the blowback...
	I mean, in a way, the blowback was not what you would expect.
	I guess I would put it that way.
	Our side never really knew how to fight.
	Well, they didn't know they were in a fight.
	Oh, that's very interesting.
	They didn't know.
	How could that be?
	Well, because originally the progressive movement was an intellectual movement.
	It was among academics.
	Even people like Woodrow Wilson and Dior Roosevelt before they enter national politics and became famous that way They were academics and so You have these very clear anti-american ideas, but they weren't put out there So much for public consumption and by the time you got the new deal Where people like Franklin Roosevelt are telling us that hey, you know, we're gonna implement the ideas of our progressive I will continue with the new deal when we get back
	I want to remind people.
	This important book is America Transformed the Rise and Legacy of American Progressivism.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berka.
	I had studied Marxist history, beginning with Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto from 1848.
	And when I first studied that and saw in Section 1 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.
	We've only begun to scratch the surface.
	We're going to go deep dive on what's happening inside the U.S. military and why this man took the courageous step of writing the book Irresistible Revolution.

	Las Vegas?
	I mean, it is open for business.
	It is wide open.
	It's unreal how different things are.
	In a place like Las Vegas.
	I mean, somebody look up.
	Derek, see how many seats the O show at the Bellagio holds.
	How many seats are in that theater?
	The show is called O at the Bellagio.
	See how many seats it holds.
	It was packed.
	I mean, there's no social distancing going on in Las Vegas.
	There just isn't.

	Why Rafael Manuel of the Manhattan Institute answers this important question.
	In the new video from Traeger University, see it at trageru.com, where we teach what is important.
	Apparently, things haven't been taught for a very long time.
	This is not new.
	It's an important book up at DennisPrager.com.
	America transformed the rise and legacy of American progressivism.
	Professor of politics, to Hillsdale College's credit, I note, apparently it is not called political science.
	Ronald Pastrito is the professor.
	That I am speaking to whom I am speaking to.
	Is that correct?
	They don't call it political science at your college?
	We like to say politics.
	Political science is actually kind of a creation of modern social science.
	It's bound up with the progressive movements.
	That's right.
	That's very much a conscious decision of ours to call it politics.
	I assume that, and that's why I noted it.
	So, I want to just review for my listeners the origins of all of this.
	America was founded on a unique, unique is not meant anything but literally, a unique idea limited government.
	Its only purpose was to protect liberty.
	And Franklin was right, it's a republic if you can keep it.
	Apparently we can't keep it.
	Americans have fallen prey to the human disposition to wanting to be taken care of rather than being free.
	And this began in the late 1800s, as scholars, quote-unquote, went to Germany, got PhDs in big government, came back, and undid the American Revolution over the course of generations.
	The great explosion, would you say, was the New Deal?
	Mm-hmm.
	Yes, I would say that.
	I mean, that's, you know, if you ask most people, Where would you trace the origins of big government back to?
	I think most people would say, incorrectly, would say that, you know, the New Deal, Franklin Roosevelt, the 1930s, response to the Great Depression.
	But even Roosevelt himself, you know, who was a progressive as a young man, in his speeches explaining the New Deal, points back to the progressive era as the source of his principles.
	And he names Wilson, he names Theodore Roosevelt.
	The difference with FDR, I would say two things.
	Number one, of course, he has a much better occasion to try to implement these ideas.
	He's got the Depression.
	He has more of an emergency situation than the original progressives did.
	And we know, as the left says, you never let an emergency go to waste.
	But also, FDR was much more savvy as a statesman.
	He understood that to make the case for his new principles, He had to make the case that they were just a natural outgrowth out of the old.
	That he wasn't replacing the old, but just adding on.
	Did he believe that?
	I don't know.
	I don't know that.
	He was imbibed enough in progressive ideas that he would have known that the progressives viewed their own ideas as a repudiation.
	Of the original constitutional order.
	The progressives were very kind about that.
	There was no secret.
	There's nothing.
	You know, I'd love to say in the book, I discovered some big secrets or hidden agenda, but it's right there on the surface.
	And I just kind of present what they said they were doing.
	Whereas FDR was much more, I think, receptive about it, and it was the right tactic, given his agenda.
	I'm quiet because I'm just digesting the undoing of the American Revolution.
	Of course, in the name of helping people.
	How could you be against helping people?
	They really possess all the rhetoric.
	It makes us sound selfish.
	Well, the idea of progress, right?
	That's a powerful problem.
	That's why those on the left use it today.
	Because who wants to be against progress?
	Yeah.
	That's right.
	Has any country...
	I don't think so.
	I don't think there's any country that's picked up the liberty-first mantle.
	If America goes this way, there's nothing left.
	Well, I think that America is seen by freedom-loving people in many places in the world as the last best hope.
	I've read of many students at Hillsdale I know who come there for that reason.
	And it's true that you don't have a country that so self-consciously identifies on the principles of our God-given natural rights and that those come first, that government is there to secure those rights.
	And we should be clear that it's not, no one would argue, and certainly the The American founders didn't argue the government doesn't change, the government doesn't adapt, it doesn't implement new means.
	They were not naive about that.
	They knew that they hadn't arrived at all the answers about the particular institutions.
	But the goal of government, the basic foundational principles, the thing the government is there for, that's what's permanent.
	It comes from these permanent truths about human nature.
	And that is what makes America unique.
	Anybody other than Hillsdale teach this?
	Well, I mean, you know, higher education is a mess, and I know you know that, and I know that that's been a topic of discussion.
	And so, you know, there are a few places that are countercultural, and they're thriving, I think, because people want this very much.
	I'm a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, which is also doing very well because it's teaching these same things.
	But we're in trouble.
	Higher education is, I think we see now the fruit of what's been going on in higher education for 100 years.
	An article in the New York Times yesterday advocating that the government basically end air conditioning.
	There's nothing wrong with sweating.
	That is actually what the piece said.
	It's a book.
	They reviewed a book saying that.
	I'm sorry?
	Yeah, I have no trouble believing.
	I said I didn't see that, but I have no trouble believing.
	Yeah, right.
	I'm sure you have.
	That's exactly right.
	There is no arena of life once you start the government interfering.
	So I'll ask you a tough one, because I battle with this.
	It's tough for me.
	And that is, was Barry Goldwater right in opposing the civil rights bill?
	I mean, I don't think so, Dennis.
	I mean, obviously, the subsequent implementation of that and the direction it was taken by the courts is one matter, and I think certainly there's a lot to worry about there.
	But what is government supposed to do?
	Government's supposed to enact specific laws and take specific measures.
	Let's see to the securing of the rights you have by nature.
	And so we do things in law where we recognize those rights.
	Those are called civil rights or civil liberties.
	They're products of the civil law.
	I hear you.
	I want to push your book.
	Is that all right with you?
	Okay.
	Yeah, I'd love it.
	You're a delight to talk to.

	Yes.
	Oh my God.
	The quotes from his book.
	Listen to this.
	I needed to become more intimate with climate violence.
	The use of the word violence has also been raped.
	They rape language on the left.
	Like the word rape.
	They raped the word rape.
	They have raped the word violence.
	Now, speech is now violence.
	Even speech that does not call for violence is violence.
	If they don't agree with it, it's speech violence.
	And now, climate change is climate violence.
	Well...
	He describes how the history of cooling personal and professional spaces is entwined with the history of racism.
	God, I never thought of that.
	These guys are geniuses.
	Yes, indeed.
	Air conditioning is a racist invention.
	Your kids are learning this at college, do you understand?
	And yet you willingly pay a fortune of money to have them learn dangerous drivel.
	If it was just drivel, it wouldn't matter to me.
	Now you know why I came up with the idea.
	With regard to college, better intoxicated than indoctrinated.
	My argument for four years of inebriation, as bad as it is, is not as bad as four years of indoctrination.
	Yeah.
	I don't understand this.
	Before mechanical coolers were invented, enslaved children living in intemperate climes were forced to fan their oppressors for long hours.
	So what does that mean?
	Why is air conditioning racist?
	One life was comforted at the expense of another, Wilson writes, with powerful simplicity.
	Whoa, whoa, these people are deep at the New York Times.
	That is powerful simplicity.
	Today, the global socioeconomic gap between those who can effectively cool their surroundings and those who cannot is widening rapidly, in part because we're depriving Africans of the ability to use fossil fuel.
	Wow.

	After Cooling, it's the name of the book, has its greatest impact when it asks us to think deeply, deeply, about the reasons humans wish to change the temperature of their surroundings.
	You hear that?
	I want you to think deeply about why you want to change the temperature of your surroundings.
	In my opinion, it does not necessitate deep thought.
	We want to change the temperature because it's much more comfortable to heat one's room when it's cold and to cool one's room when it's hot.
	That, my friends, is not deep thought.
	So this does not necessitate deep thought.
	Ah, but according to Hope Jaron and the author, Of the book, it does.
	Listen to this.
	At one time, occasional sweating was simply accepted as a way of life, Wilson postulates.
	But now we regard comfort as a prerequisite for work and play.
	Deep, eh?
	At one time we accepted sweating as a way of life.
	Of course we did.
	We accepted malaria as a way of life.
	We accepted everything that renders life difficult as a way of life.
	Therefore what?
	Therefore what?
	Did people enjoy sweating?
	Why did they fan themselves?
	Why did they sit on the porch?
	Why did they develop fans?
	Were they out of their minds?
	You could sweat.
	You understand?
	This is the New York Times.
	It's drivel every day.
	All the drivel that's fit to print.
	But what does it really mean to be comfortable?
	Whoa!
	That's what they mean by deep thought.
	Is it merely the absence of discomfort or is it something more?
	Yes, it is the absence of discomfort.
	That is exactly right.
	You hit it on the nose.
	Is it a bodily experience or an emotional state?
	It's a bodily experience that creates an emotional state.
	I'm more productive in an air-conditioned room than in the heat.

	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.

	Well, it appears from your responses that I've hit a nerve...
	I'm never quite sure what I can tell you about the left that will serve as an alarm clock and awaken you as to the existential threat to civilization that the left poses.
	But this one apparently is hit home based on the number...
	Of calls, though most of the time the board is filled with calls, but I could tell when there's this rush to say something that people have been fired up.
	And it is about a book against air conditioning, favorably reviewed in the New York Times book review this week.
	Yep.
	Because of global warming, we can't have all of this air conditioning.
	And why is it important to be comfortable anyway?
	I'm not making it up, you understand?
	First of all, it's hard to make something up, say the left advocates it, and be fooling.
	It's very hard.
	So I read to you from the book review, the favorable, of course, the laudatory review of this book titled After Cooling, written by a fool and reviewed by a fool.
	After cooling has its greatest impact when it asks us to think deeply about the reasons humans wish to change the temperature of their surroundings.
	I read this to you at the end of the last hour, but I want it to sink in.
	Thank you.
	I don't think it necessitates deep thought to Speak about, to think about, to clarify the question why humans wish to change the temperature of their surroundings.
	Because the body is comfortable at certain temperatures.
	That is that all the depth of thought one needs.
	So here is why it necessitates deep thought.
	At one time, Occasional sweating was simply accepted as a way of life, Wilson postulates.
	But now we regard comfort as a prerequisite for work and play.
	That's right, we do.
	There were many things that were considered acceptable as a way of life.
	Dumping fecal matter from your home into the street was considered normal.
	The fact that something was considered normal means what exactly?
	To use their favorite example, slavery was considered normal.
	The fact that something was considered normal in the past is now the justification for returning to it in the New York Times?
	Yeah, if the left wants to control your life more.
	Leftism is a fanatical religion.
	All fanatics wish to control others, and all fanatics are willing to suffer for their faith.
	So let's continue this book review.
	We now regard comfort as a prerequisite for work and play.
	But what does it really mean to be comfortable?
	Is it merely the absence of discomfort, or is it something more?
	Deep, eh?
	Is that deep or what?
	What does it really mean to be comfortable?
	Is it merely the absence of discomfort?
	Yes, it is.
	That's right.
	When there's no discomfort, you're comfortable.
	Is it a bodily experience or an emotional state?
	Ooh, deep, huh?
	Deep?
	It is a bodily experience that leads to an emotional state.
	Wilson invites the reader into deep existential...
	Ah, there's no left-wing piece without the word existential.
	It is a bodily...
	Excuse me.
	Wilson invites the reader into deep existential discussions by invoking broad themes of culture and philosophy.
	Particularly fascinating is Wilson's examination of the marketing impulse behind the phrase Are you ready for another deep thought in the New York Times?
	Air conditioning as opposed to air cooling.
	Whoa, that is deep.
	Air conditioning as opposed to air cooling.
	Wow.
	At the rate things are going, with the left becoming more and more fanatical, And irrational.
	Not only will people be able to say to their grandchildren, I remember when America was free.
	Though you better be careful what grandchild you say it to, they might report you.
	You will also be able to say, I remember when it was cool in the summer.
	And your grandchildren go, really, Grandpa?
	It was cool in the summer?
	Yes, because we use something called air conditioning.
	Particularly fascinating is Wilson's examination of the marketing impulse behind the phrase air conditioning as opposed to air cooling.
	Clearly, the production of a better condition of air or better conditions for life is the very definition for progress, isn't it?
	Yes, it is, in fact.
	That's amazing.
	Yep.
	Wilson, this is how it ends.
	Wilson dares to state plainly that lasting climate solutions hinge on our capacity to redefine what makes our lives meaningful, not on new technologies or better products.
	Because the people, the woman who wrote this, I think it's a woman, Hope Jaron, and this author, they don't have meaning.
	For them, meaning is fighting global warming.
	Get it?
	This is all the left is about.
	The search for meaning in their utterly meaningless souls because of the death of religion and God in the West.
	This is all a product of that.
	Yes, redefine what makes our lives meaningful.
	Why redefine it?
	I have spectacular meaning to my life.
	I believe in the Bible.
	I believe in God.
	I believe in my religion.
	I have magnificent meaning that comes from having a family, from my wife, from my children, from my grandchildren, from my friends, from my work.
	Why do I have to redefine what makes our lives meaningful?
	Why would those words even be in this review?
	We have to redefine what makes our lives meaningful.
	That's right.
	Because for the empty human who wrote this, she does not have a meaningful life.
	But she gets it from fighting climate change.
	And let me tell you folks, when something gives your life meaning, you really don't let it go.
	Because people can live without a lot, but they can't live without meaning.
	The first baby step may be as simple as experimenting with an air conditioner on a hot July day, setting the room a few degrees higher than usual, and asking at bedtime whether we even noticed.
	Okay, let's say we do.
	So, I like to sleep.
	And by the way, it's healthier to sleep in a cold room.
	Look it up.
	It is simply less healthy to sleep.
	in a hot room so they're advocating something that will harm your health among other things but I can tell you that knowing this from hotel rooms that have phony thermostats and don't go to the temperature that they actually list that there is a big difference in sleeping in a 73 degree room than a 69 degree room And would I notice?
	Yes, I do notice.
	That's the reason I'm mentioning this.
	Anyway, what is the point?
	This is After Cooling by Eric Dean Wilson.

	Anyway, you were talking about Bill Cosby, and I kind of disagreed with you about, you were saying, about all the women.
	I might say maybe half, what is it, 18 women?
	Oh, no.
	It's close to 50 women that have made allegations.
	50?
	50, 5-0.
	Oh, okay.
	So you believe all of them are telling the truth?
	Well, you think all 50 are lying, including Beverly Johnson, one of the first black major models in America?
	She said he also gave her drugs and tried to rape her.
	I'm a woman.
	What I'm saying is, and there in Hollywood, he's a high-profile man, and they wanted to be alone with him.
	They might not have wanted his advances, but it's kind of...
	Lynn, please, there's no doubt that because he was famous and rich, he attracted women.
	The question is, did he drug them and have sex with them?
	And that's known as rape.
	Let me answer that.
	That's what I'm saying.
	If they drank anything that he had, they willingly drink it.
	Okay, now, Lynn, hold on a second.
	The reason Bill Cosby got released is because the prior prosecutor apparently entered into some sort of deal with him and said, you're not going to be criminally prosecuted if you testify honestly in the civil trial.
	And in the civil trial, years ago, he testified and admitted that he gave that particular woman a drug in order to have sex with her.
	He admitted it under oath.
	Okay, one woman.
	How many does it take?
	Well, I'm just saying, I'm a woman, I know women.

	I mean, if you take a look at AC systems in Mexico, I mean, that stuff doesn't cool.
	And it's all about comfort cooling.
	It's not just about air conditioning.
	It's about comfort levels.
	And at certain comfort levels, everyone operates differently.
	Everyone becomes more productive.
	And I'm guaranteeing this person's better been in the South during the summertime.
	Well, you need two AC coils just to fall asleep, just to bring down the humidity in your house.
	That's right.
	So this is just coming from the left, where they're just, they say they're for the working man, which I am.
	I'm at a service ball right now.
	I'm working my butt off.
	But they say they're for me.

	As the living martyr pointed out, Larry Elder and I have all these best-selling books that we've written, not one reviewed in the New York Times.
	I would say, if I may, that Larry Elder's books and mine are deeper than this one.
	In fact, on a depth-of-thought scale, we're not even on the same scale.
	And this is what they review.
	It's junk.
	But I don't care if it's junk.
	It's dangerous junk.

	That's right.
	So they don't want you driving cars.
	I can read to you, and I will, one of the New York Times columnists.
	Who strongly advocates that we fly once in five years, that we give up our cars, and all in the name, just like you got deprived of your rights in the name of safety, you will get to be deprived of your rights in the name of global warming.
	And of course, you will be deprived of education in the name of anti-racism.
	All the destruction the left does is always in the name of some higher cause.
	Usually made up.
	Even the cause is not real.
	That's what it is.
	Josh in Los Angeles.
	Hello.
	Hi, Mr. Baker.
	Hi.
	I think you're missing the million-dollar question, and I think that's, what was the author's term set to when he wrote the book?
	Good one.
	You folks are good.
	I would love to ask that and have that answered.
	You know what I need to do?
	Oh, God, I've got to check something.
	If I can right now, let me see here.
	Oh, you know what?
	There are no comments.
	Oh, the New York Times doesn't have comments on book reviews.
	That is beyond sad.
	That is reason for weeping.
	I will say.
	Too bad.
	Would have been great to see what New York Times readers think about it.
	Good one, Josh.
	I thank you.
	Julian, also in Los Angeles.
	Hello.
	Hey, good morning, Dennis.
	It is an honor to speak with you, and thank you so much for fighting the good fight and keeping us informed.
	I want to get...
	Deep and down to their level.
	So, okay, if the occasional sweating was once an accepted part of life, it just was normal.
	Well, getting sick, diseases, the occasional pandemic or even plague were quite normal.
	Right, right.
	Can we get rid of masks and mass vaccination too?
	That's right.
	Another excellent question.
	Something was normal in the past, therefore we should return to it.
	Isn't the question of whether the normal was good?
	Slavery was normal.

	Men and women died in Vietnam or the other wars that we fought for our flag.
	What a great call.
	What a great point that is.
	To disrespect those men who spilled blood, who left their limbs on the battlefield the way the left is doing.
	Chris, you're on the Mike Gallagher Show.

	Good, Mike.
	It's a nice honor to talk to you finally.

	Honor to speak to you as well.
	Mike, I'll make this real quick.
	I'm probably not all that great at talking on air, but all I am is a lifeguard on the oceanfront in southeast North Carolina.
	And I just want to say that, you know, this weekend we had outstanding weather.
	The crowds were fantastic.
	Everyone was just well-behaved.
	I was on my tower.
	I was on my tower and I was looking north.
	And I saw the thousands and thousands of people with their umbrellas, you know, thousands of people in the water, just enjoying.
	The kids were playing.
	The kids were running around.
	Happy cries and screams were going on.
	Mike, in my binoculars.
	You know, you got to picture this.
	You got the city, the city line and the beach and the ocean.
	But in my binoculars, I saw all of this going on.
	And then in the center was the American flag waving.
	And just, Mike, it just brought me the tears sitting in my tower watching this.
	And just thinking about all the people who disrespect our flag and, like your last caller, all the men who died.
	For this country.
	It just brought me to tears sitting on the tower watching all this going on.
	And you know what?
	You've got to keep reminding yourself, millions and millions of Americans feel just the way you and I do.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berka.
	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.
	All of those narratives.
	All of those narratives.
	But the fact is, she is a senior at Harvard.
	And why she got to me, she explained very powerfully in the early broadcasts.
	We're not going to review that.
	And she so impressed me that she's going to be sitting in for me for a show this summer.
	Thank you.
	Are you excited about that, Julie?
	Oh, I'm so excited.
	A little nervous.
	Hold on, we need a microphone.
	Your friend Sean blew it.
	No, he doesn't think he blew it.
	Go ahead.
	I mean, I'm incredibly excited.
	I'm very honored that you trust me with your entire show.
	I hope I don't mess up, but I'm preparing.
	We certainly are.
	So, I had a whole series of questions, but I'll do what I have done with you on a number of occasions.
	What's on your mind?
	Well, today I want to talk about the education system, which is something that you talk a lot about, Dennis, but it's something that I can really shed a unique light on, given that I'm a student.
	And I think that we conservatives, what I've noticed is that we talk a lot about What is taught in schools?
	You know, the historical inaccuracies that are peddled in the classroom.
	Like, for example, the idea that the Democrat and Republican parties just switched in the 60s, which, by the way, I fully believe to be true until I watch the PragerU video on it.
	But that's just an aside.
	What I want to say is that we focus a lot on what is taught, but we don't really focus on how issues and historical events are positioned.
	And I think that the way that professors and teachers nowadays position these issues is just as harmful as teaching them inaccurately.
	And what I've noticed is that the way that issues are framed is such that we, the students, have no skin in the game.
	Like, we just get to debate and make judgment calls about certain things, and we're just above it.
	And so an example I thought of is last year I took a moral philosophy course.
	And one of the first classes we talked about utilitarianism, you know, the moral philosophy that you can make decisions that benefit the majority even if it harms, you know, the minority.
	And we're given the classic trolley car example.
	You know, if you're controlling a train and it is barreling down a track, it could hit five people, or you could pull a lever and the train could go on another track and it would hit one person.
	And I remember sitting in that classroom and I thought to myself, you know what's weird about the way that this is framed?
	We are left unscathed.
	Like, we are just controlling the levers.
	We get to decide the fate of these people.
	And we're left unharmed.
	And again, it's this very kind of, it's very subtle.
	I don't even think teachers or professors realize that they're doing it.
	But it's this very subtle...
	Elite, kind of arrogant sensibility that we just get to sit and decide the fate of other people.
	We get to decide who lives and who dies, and we're just above it all.
	And you see that in liberal policies.
	I was just reading the other day about carbon credits, how liberals are pushing climate change policy that is, in many cases, very oppressive.
	All-consuming.
	But then they get to exempt themselves from it with carbon credits.
	That is how the seeds of that kind of idea that you can exempt yourself from the policies that you advocate for, the decisions that you make for other people, that starts with this utilitarian, just as an example.
	You know, hypothetical, the way that that's framed to students.
	The way it should be framed, in my view, is there should be a third option.
	You know, you can let the train hit the five people.
	You can pull a lever, let it hit one person, or you can pull a third lever.
	And the train goes and hits the control tower that you're in.
	So you are killed and the other six people live.
	And what that does, Dennis, is it automatically now puts you in the situation.
	You have to decide if you are willing to sacrifice yourself for others.
	It changes the game.
	That was brilliant.
	It really was.
	There's a third question that involves you.
	Yes.
	Crash the train.
	None of the six are killed, only you are.
	Totally.
	If you're truly a utilitarian, that's the way to go.
	That was just an example in a moral philosophy class.
	Even in my history classes, when we're debating these things like, should we have dropped the bomb on Japan in World War II, or was the Vietnam War justified?
	Again, we're sitting here as people who weren't even born, who weren't even alive during this time.
	We get to make a judgment call.
	We should position ourselves as the American soldier or as the person on the ground with the information they had at the time.
	Or as the Vietnamese.
	Right.
	Yes.
	We'll be back in a moment with Julie Hartman.

	One-third of California small businesses will never reopen.
	One-third.
	Many of the things that Gavin Newsom did had nothing whatever to do with science.
	You've heard me interview small business owners who said he imposed lockdowns and mandates and then loosened them and then reimposed them and then loosened them so nobody knew what the hell to do.
	The science suggested that schools could have remained open.
	We already have a situation where 75% of black kids in California cannot read at state levels of proficiency.
	Nearly half of all kids in California cannot read at state levels of proficiency.
	And yet schools were shut down for a full year.
	And the left is always talking about leveling the playing field, making sure that things are equal.
	How in the world are you going to get equal when you have prevented black kids, Hispanic kids?
	From having in-school learning for over a year, and everybody knows this video learning is not the same.
	This is a state where you drive around in a city like L.A., Bay Area, underneath an overpass, on the left and on the right, a whole bunch of homeless people, one after another, after another, after another, posing threats to their safety, to the safety of the non-homeless.
	It's non-hygienic.
	And then, don't get me started on crime.
	Crime up dramatically in cities in L.A. Year to year, shooting victims up 50% in L.A. Two things are happening.
	One is that parents across the board are starting to speak up and not take this anymore.
	You've seen in Loudon, Virginia, on the critical race theory issue just the last couple of weeks, school board meetings where parents have lined up by the hundreds.
	They are unloading on the school boards.
	People, I've seen people.
	I've seen people.
	I've seen people.
	So much faith I have in her.
	That was a brilliant take, I thought, on the question that I remember being asked.
	Would you kill one person to save five?
	You're the controller of train tracks and so on.
	But she said, why don't you pose the question of...
	If you had a third option, right?
	You're a utilitarian.
	You kill one to save five.
	What if the one is you?
	Or your kid.
	Or your kid.
	Then all of a sudden your utilitarian outlook seems to go by the wayside.
	So she's talking about not only is the content of education at college poor, But so is the methodology.
	Continue, as you will.
	Well, if you look at this trend that's really emerged in the past few years of people my age tearing down statues or erasing names of buildings after people who they deem as morally reprehensible...
	What I am talking about, this idea of framing issues in a way that students don't have any stake of it, that they can just make judgment calls, that is what endows them with the pomposity that they use to go then tear down statues.
	Because they have this idea that they're just above everyone else.
	And I would want to ask my peers two questions, those who want to tear down statues.
	I would say, first of all, you know...
	Think back to the 1700s.
	Think back to 18th century America when slavery was so common.
	Do you really think you would have been the one person, when again it was so accepted, do you think you would have been the one person to stand up against it?
	You won't even now, you won't even go against wokeism.
	You're so afraid to offend people.
	You won't stand up to anyone right now.
	Do you really think you would have, in the 1700s, been the person who defied that?
	By the way, this is not excusing slavery.
	But the point is, we are not taught to put ourselves in people's shoes.
	We just get to decide and make judgments in hindsight.
	Being in 2021, there's no sense of humility or perspective that we're taught in the education system.
	And the second question I would ask them relatedly is...
	Are you so arrogant as to think that there aren't things that you do right now or things in society right now that our great-grandchildren might look and think that were morally reprehensible?
	For example, abortion.
	Abortion is completely and totally, I would say, accepted by the majority of people in America.
	And you know what?
	Maybe in 200 years...
	Our descendants will go, can you believe that back in the day there was state-sanctioned killing of babies, that they allowed these procedures if the mother didn't want the child, they would go inside the womb and tear this fetus apart limb by limb?
	Again, it's that sense of, the word I go back to is humility.
	The education system, the way that we talk about the past, it is framed in a way that we are seen as morally superior.
	We get to criticize other people and praise ourselves, and that is what leads again to the words I use, the pomposity and the superciliousness that is characteristic of modern day liberalism.
	That was powerful too.
	The first point, you would have stood up to slavery?
	And you won't even stand up to the moral depredations and the conformity of our day?
	That's exactly right.
	Look, I wrote a piece.
	You might have seen it.
	I think you did, but I don't know.
	The Good German and the Good American, two separate columns, back-to-back last year.
	How I rethought the whole topic of the Good German this past year in America.
	It's so easy to, I realize, and I'm a Jew very, very involved in fighting anti-Semitism, wrote a very big book on it, and was on the Holocaust Memorial Council Board of Directors for two years, appointed by President Bush.
	But I have come to realize it's very facile to say, oh, the good German was the guy who did nothing, didn't report Jews, didn't kill Jews.
	But people mock them.
	Yet we don't have a Gestapo.
	We don't have concentration camps.
	And look at the conformity of America in the acceptance of the suppression of civil liberties in the last year.
	The utter conformity of most Americans.
	The snitching on people in Canada.
	Remember that story?
	Because a few people gathered for a party or a dinner at somebody's house.
	Oh, they're going to kill the neighbors by getting together.
	Yes, there's no humility.
	The point is well taken.
	What else is on your mind?
	Well, the point I was also thinking of is, you know, Kind of relating back to what I talked about last week with Cheap Grace, of how liberalism is just a way for you to advocate for certain policies that you'll never practice and then insulate yourselves from the consequences.
	I mean, this is the origins of it.
	Another thing I was thinking of is, why don't we in schools, we have to write all these essays.
	Again, I'm a history major.
	We have to write all these essays critiquing certain decisions.
	Why don't we ever write an essay on the top five good things?
	Let's pick a policy that we agree with or that we think was good for America and write about that.
	Again, it's always framed in such a negative way.
	It's always like, we're morally superior and we get to criticize.
	Why don't we ever talk about the goodness of America or good decisions?
	Well, I know.
	This is the line that they're giving now in defending critical race theory.
	Well, we have to teach the bad along with the good.
	So I had a question as soon as I read that.
	Tell me what good you teach about America.
	Name one thing good about America that you teach.
	It's just a lie.
	Or how about this?
	Because this, in fact, I got in talking with you.
	Why don't people write about every policy that they agree with?
	Not every.
	Five policies.
	Three policies.
	And then write, but is there a downside?
	Yes.
	But is there a downside?
	Mm-hmm.
	That'll make people think.
	I got that from you.
	I know.
	I'll say that next segment I'll listen Trending now on the Mike Dillager Show Men and women died in Vietnam Or the other wars that we fought For our flag Hey, what a great call.
	What a great point that is.
	To disrespect those men who spilled blood, who left their limbs on the battlefield the way the left is doing.

	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.
	Hi, everybody. everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	So many ideas with Julie, who has been with us.
	Julie Hartman.
	Each week, we had some very powerful shows about your generation of men and women.
	And now, this notion of their pontificating about life, your fellow students, and for that matter, the whole world of the left.
	With no skin in the game.
	That's so good.
	And by the way, we moved on without commenting on your comments about the Vietnam War and the dropping of the atom bomb on Japan.
	Yeah.
	To sit here, you know, in the comfort of liberty and security and say, oh yes, well, it's true.
	A million Americans and a million Japanese would have died if we continued World War II. But hey, it was still wrong to drop the bomb.
	But they weren't on those ships.
	The ecstasy of the American soldiers thinking they were going to die in Japan when they found the war was ended.
	Totally.
	Only because of the bomb.
	And with the Vietnam War, I mean, I think the way it should be framed is, let's say it's the early 1960s, and Russia has just developed nuclear weapons, and all these countries are succumbing to communism, and it's a, you know...
	To an extent, it's a threat domestically.
	I mean, what would you at the time think?
	Again, we have to evaluate people based on the information they had at the time.
	And for the life of me, I can't understand why we don't have more essays or assignments in class where it's like, okay, if you, let's say you oppose the Vietnam War now or you think in retrospect it was bad, you should write an essay as an American at the time and write your reasons for supporting it.
	Again.
	Put yourself in someone else's shoes, even if you disagree with them.
	Write an essay if you had to, saying why it might be a good idea.
	Again, that forces people to go beyond their moral superiority and think from the other side.
	Isn't that the point of education?
	So what did you think of my air conditioning story?
	Oh my gosh, well...
	I think it's really funny because all of my peers, you see all these liberals advocating for climate change, but then you walk into their offices and the AC is, I mean, you know what?
	If they think climate change is real, their offices shouldn't have AC. They need to start practicing what they preach, and they shouldn't subject the rest of us to it.
	You're certainly going to keep this studio filled with AC. By the way, I just want to tell the listeners, it is freezing.
	In this studio.

	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Perhaps the finest piece yet written, summarizing the catastrophe or the catastrophic response to COVID, is in City Journal, that great journal, written by John Tierney, contributing editor, who always writes magnificently.
	It's very sobering to read it.
	About how the world reacted to the virus, how the United States did.
	I will boast at this moment, and I am totally prepared to take the arrows of being accused of boasting.
	I wrote in March 2020 that the worldwide lockdown was the greatest mistake in world history.
	And I made it clear, not the greatest evil, the greatest mistake.
	And John Tierney in his piece writes, it's the greatest medical mistake ever made.
	But he documents everything as to why.
	So congratulations on your piece, John.
	Thanks very much, Dennis.
	And that was a good prophecy you made.
	You know, I wondered whether, you know, people call it the greatest peacetime mistake.
	You could argue some wars are, but certainly as far as, you know, the public health profession, you know, there's never been anything like it.
	Would this mistake have been made in 1970?
	That's a good question.
	I think at that point, things weren't so polarized.
	Science hadn't been so politicized.
	And the legacy media then was a little more responsible.
	You know, I mentioned how...
	How the media always hypes things.
	You know, I call it the crisis crisis in this book, The Power of Bad.
	And that they're always hyping everything.
	They've always done that.
	I mean, last century, you know, in the 1970s, humanity was supposedly doomed by the population crisis, by the energy crisis, these kind of fake crises that the media creates.
	But I think that there was, you know, more...
	More sense of responsibility in the media, I think, Ben.
	I mean, it was interesting, during the 1980s AIDS crisis, for instance, there were these predictions from Fauci and from Robert Redfield, who of course led us through the COVID one, that AIDS was going to spread as fast among heterosexuals as it would among homosexuals.
	And back then, if I recall, Well, the New York Times, and I wrote about this then, too, but the New York Times, I see, debunked some of that.
	You know, there was an aide detective, kind of, for the New York City Department of Health, who went around, you know, examining these supposed cases of heterosexual AIDS, and found out that, diversely all of them were, you know, were gay men who were lying about how they got it.
	So there was some pushback back then, but this thing, I mean, you know, the media just...
	Completely went along with Fauci, and so did the public health establishment, so did much of the science community, science journalists.
	It was really shocking to me to see how all these norms were abandoned.
	Right, and the acquiescence of Americans to the curtailment of normal civil rights, civil liberties.
	It's astonishing, I think.
	I mean, you know, at the start of the epidemic, when China was locking down, you know, this was this unprecedented strategy that the CDC had, you know, in its planning for epidemics.
	It said even if one as bad as the Spanish flu came along, they did not envision shutting businesses.
	They did not envision extended...
	Who said this?
	The CDC, its own planning scenarios for epidemics.
	And, you know, they've been doing this for decades.
	There was one, I think it was in 2017, a huge panel of experts got down and said, what do we do?
	They reviewed what measures work, and they had various scenarios depending on how serious the pandemic was.
	And for the most serious one, one at the level of the Spanish flu that would be killing children and young people, they still didn't recommend closing businesses or extended school closures.
	I mean, this was a completely...
	Novel thing, you know, done by the Chinese government.
	And early in the epidemic, Fauci was asked about it, and he said, I can't imagine, you know, being able to do that in American cities.
	But, you know, to his surprise, you know, and to mine, as you say, Americans just acquiesced in this.
	and went along with this incredible giving up the right to leave their homes, to go to church, to work, to study.
	And you still see these polls that I find really depressing that a large percentage of the population still thinks the lockdowns were a good idea.
	And many even think that there should have been stricter lockdowns.
	I mean, it's insane to me and it's very scary.
	I don't know what has happened to people.
	Well, it's worldwide though.
	though.
	With the exception of Sweden, it's universal.
	Right.
	I mean, the UK had a supposedly conservative prime minister who just went along with it.
	So, I mean, people, you know, tried to excuse this huge blunder by saying, well, it was a reaction to Trump and, you know, Trump derangement syndrome.
	But it wasn't just Trump.
	I mean, you know, it wasn't just the United States, as you say.
	It happened throughout Europe.
	I mean, I do think that, you know, when I spoke to Scott Atlas about this, you know, from the Hoover Institution, who Trump, to his credit, brought in on the White House Corona Task Force.
	Unfortunately, he wasn't able to prevail against Fauci and Birx.
	But he did say that he told me he thought that Fauci and Birx really helped set the global tone, that people were following the United States' lead on that.
	And why did they want this?
	Excuse me?
	Why did they want this?
	Why did Fauci and Birx want a lockdown?
	Well, I think, you know, that the following crisis is that the media wants to exploit it, and they want to hype it, and they look for doomsayers.
	So they look for the worst-case projections.
	In this case, the worst ones came from, you know, from the United Kingdom, from Imperial College there, where they were predicting that there'd be 30, you know, COVID patients for a readily available hospital bed.
	Two million Americans would be dead by the end of last summer.
	And so they got quoted.
	And then there were also these projections from some American researchers about, you know, that all the hospital systems were about to be overwhelmed, which never happened.
	So the media, you know, played up those doomsday predictions.
	And Fauci and Birx were these, you know, they basically just focused.
	Their job was that COVID death, you know, the COVID death count and the COVID case count.
	That was all they cared about, was we've got to keep that down.
	And they basically ignored the collateral damage.
	And that is the danger when people say, follow the science.
	A scientist in one discipline does not have the knowledge to gauge what is best for society.
	That's a big political question that involves economics, morality.
	You know, there's so many ramifications of it, you can't expect someone who has studied epidemiology to know the answer to what the best policy is.
	They can tell you how a disease spreads and what measures might work against it, but they can't.
	You know, it was a complete abdication of responsibility for leaders like Andrew Cuomo to say, whatever the scientists say I'm doing, no, that's his job.
	He's supposed to be, he should listen to scientists, And you should listen to lots of scientists, not just the doomsayers, you know, who've got a vested interest in making this sound as bad as it can because it increases their prestige and publicity, gives them more money, more power.
	So, you know, but it was the job of politicians to think of all of that.
	And so I think in that sense, you know, you had this narrow focus of the public health establishment.
	Since the media is playing this up as, you know...
	It's the next apocalypse.
	Then our job is to basically just keep those numbers down no matter what else happens.
	So they had their focus.
	And then there was the side benefit for the left was that the more you hype this epidemic, the worse it was for Donald Trump.
	And tanking the economy was going to hurt his re-election prospects.
	And then it's also, as I say, I've written in Cities Journal about what I call the left's war on science.
	And this has been going on for a long time.
	I mean, you know, back in the 1920s, progressives dreamed of a world that was, you know, run by these kind of scientific high priests, these expert social engineers who, you know, who knew better than, you know, than the public, and they would direct policies and direct people how to behave, and they would be unconstrained by politics or, you know, voters or public opinion.
	So that's always been this sort of dream of the left, you know, that we're going to have the centrally planned experts.
	And they've been pushing that idea for a while.
	And the left has also been just taking over one institution after another.
	So you have all these universities and scientific journals and scientific societies that are just, they're monocultures when it comes to politics.
	So the left just runs them.
	They saw COVID. You know, as Jane Fonda said, it was God's gift to the left.
	It was.
	It was.

	I mean, they've attacked so many different areas of culture and life all at once.
	And I think this is part of the blowback that is causing parental communities to rise up.
	You know, one of the things I'm most excited about, to be candid out of all this, is to see the growth of middle-class black parents.
	Debating CRT to their own school boards.

	Finest piece summarizing the entire year and a half vis-a-vis COVID. Panic pandemic.
	By John Tierney, contributing editor at City Journal.
	Massive amount of research went into it.
	So, if I may, I'd like to bounce off you what I have advocated for the last year and a half and tell me where, if anywhere, you differ.
	So in a nutshell, what I said was that people who were at risk should stay home, and that otherwise life should go on for the vast majority of people normally, that schools should certainly be open, that depriving children of a year of education and socialization with other children is catastrophic, and I don't often use the term.
	And that if people would use therapeutics, most particularly ivermectin, perhaps hydroxychloroquine with zinc, that that would serve for most people as a prophylactic and for many others as an early term therapeutic.
	And your comments?
	I certainly agree with you about all the lockdown policies.
	Basically, people at risk should have been, you know, the focus protection plan that scientists called for was the right way to go to keep, you know, allow life to go on normally for younger people who are not at great risk from it, and then take special steps to protect people in nursing homes.
	Of older people, be careful and make sure you test the staff there and make sure that you protect them from it and they should stay home.
	So I certainly agree there.
	I do think it's, you know, one of the other mistakes of this pandemic was not, you know, paying enough attention to studying things like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and not study them adequately.
	You know, I don't know what, you know, I have followed Some of that research, and I'm not sure exactly where it stands now, what the consensus is, I think there's certainly growing interest in ivermectin.
	And one thing I did write about was vitamin D, which, you know, people can argue about how good the evidence is, but there's certainly some studies showing that vitamin D deficiency correlated with severe cases of COVID. And that's one of these...
	Harmless things that, you know, I mean, Fauci, in one interview, I think, on Instagram, did say, yeah, he takes vitamin D. And I'm wondering, why isn't he telling this, you know, I mean, this is something people could do that was probably going to help protect against it.
	You know, and it's harmless, you know, unlike the lockdowns and all these other policies they do, and forcing children to wear masks, which is harmful to them.
	You know, it was just bizarre the way they were so intent on exercising this power, and they were ignoring simpler, cheaper solutions.
	When I see airlines forcing two-year-olds to wear masks, I truly despair for my country.
	I agree.
	It's child abuse.
	I mean, I think, you know, I did a piece for City Journal called Much to Forgive.
	You know, it's horrible what we have done to our children and people who claim to, you know, be concerned about the most vulnerable members of society and then doing this to children, you know, and forcing them to wear it.
	When I see five-year-olds on playgrounds outside wearing masks, it's just, I mean, it's horrible what we've done to kids.
	And it's really just, you know, just to...
	That's the whole point.
	They don't care what damage it does.
	I read to people from the very beginning the projections of the number of people who would be out of work and impoverished.
	I mean literally impoverished.
	It was rich people who set policies to ruin the lives of poor people.
	Is that a fair statement?
	The laptop class went on working at home and causes economic devastation for other people.
	It's worldwide.
	One in three people worldwide lost a job or business during the lockdowns.
	You know, half of them saw their earnings drop.
	And the World Bank estimated that more than 100 million people were pushed into extreme poverty.
	And yet, you know, you've got these professionals sitting at home, these journalists and an alarmist scientist saying, no, no, we've got to lock down, and they're not suffering.
	And it was terrible what Silicon Valley did, censoring the debate about this.
	While they're prospering from these lockdowns, you know, Facebook and YouTube and Google that are bankrupting local businesses.
	I mean, it was just horrible.
	You know, it was appalling to me to see these celebrities on Zoom and YouTube that were all in this together.
	Well, we weren't.
	You know, they were off in their...
	In their homes safely, in their spacious homes, working on their laptops, and everyone else was suffering.
	You know, they were in it for themselves.
	This continuing on the suffering, I was reading a piece, I think it was in the New York Times, which of course is a big sponsor of the lockdowns, about how hotels, and I saw this, I was at a hotel in Texas this weekend, and I saw this at play.
	It is now policy, at least this was true for the Hyatt, And they no longer have your room cleaned each day you're there unless you ask for it.
	And so what is a result is that a lot of people are no longer getting their jobs back in the hotel industry.
	I mean, all these effects, I mean, it's a horrible thing about letting central planners run society.
	They can't possibly anticipate all the consequences of it.
	And the other thing, you know, forcing hotels, and now this may be made some work for people, but forcing restaurants and hotels and schools to do all this surface cleaning in every business.
	Which means nothing.
	Reported, it's meaningless.
	Right, and they knew this last year that it wasn't really spreading by surface contamination.
	But they never bothered, they couldn't be bothered to say, you know what, I know you're doing enough, skip the surface cleaning, you don't have to do that anymore.
	And think how many billions of dollars and hours were spent doing that.
	They still hand you these moronic wipeys when you come on the airplane.
	I know, it's just insane.
	I mean, once you create this climate of fear, you know, you can't unring that bell.
	And I still see people walking around, vaccinated people, you know, wearing masks outside.
	It's just, you know, I mean, it's awful.
	We count on leaders.
	They're supposed to, you know, keep calm and carry on and give us good advice.
	They carry on, but they don't keep calm.
	Anyway, we'll do a part two.
	You wrote a magnificent piece, John Tierney.

	anyway you were talking about Bill Cosby and I kind of disagreed with you about you were saying about all the women I might say maybe half, what is it, 18 women?
	Oh, no.
	It's close to 50 women that have made allegations.
	50?
	50, 5-0.
	Oh, okay.
	So you believe all of them are telling the truth?
	Well, you think all 50 are lying, including Beverly Johnson, one of the first black major models in America?
	She said he also gave her drugs and tried to rape her.
	I'm a woman.
	And what I'm saying is, and there in Hollywood, he's a high-profile man, and they wanted to be alone with him.
	They might not have wanted his advances, but...
	Lynn, please.
	There's no doubt that because he was famous and rich, he attracted women.
	The question is, did he drug them and have sex with them?
	And that's known as rape.
	Let me answer that.
	That's what I'm saying.
	If they drank anything that he had, they willingly drink it.
	Okay, now Lynn, hold on a second.
	The reason Bill Cosby got released is because the prior prosecutor apparently entered into some sort of deal with him and said, you're not going to be criminally prosecuted if you testify honestly in the civil trial.
	And in the civil trial, years ago, he testified and admitted that he gave that particular woman a drug in order to have sex with her.
	He admitted it under oath.
	Okay, one woman.
	How many does it take?
	Well, I'm just saying, I'm a woman, I know women.

	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.
	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.
	I want to talk about what's happening in New York with Letitia James and what I consider to be a political persecution, unlike anything, I think, in American political history.
	How are you guys dealing with this?
	And do you guys see this as, you obviously said this last night, but as a continuation of almost this five-year political witch hunt?
	A hundred percent.
	I mean, it's pretty clear when the, you know, the attorney general of a state without any information literally campaigns on saying, hey, we're going to investigate.
	We're going to lock them up.
	We're going to do this, that, and the other.
	You know, it's pretty amazing that they can get away with it.

	The madness of the world has really been the ongoing topic.
	Certainly today, I read to you, I didn't realize what a nerve it would hit.
	I'm glad it did, actually.
	I never know.
	At what point will you say the left has gone too far and it is destroying everything precious?
	Who thought it might be air conditioning?
	New York Times reviews a moronic, truly moronic book that we should not be having air conditioning because, after all, sweating is normal.
	Yes, I read it to you directly.
	They love the book at the New York Times.
	Sweating is natural, my friends.
	Yeah.
	So is peeing in the street.
	I love this.
	It's natural.
	Life is a battle with nature.
	Yep.
	So, the other thing is what I've discussed with John Tierney about what we've done this last year and a half.
	People freaked out.
	People are freaked out.
	And now the latest.
	I'm in L.A. County.
	Got to return with the mask.
	I'm going to work out today.
	So I've finally gone back to the gym.
	And now I have to wear a mask again.
	And I'm not going to wear the mask.
	I'm going to wear it under my nose.
	And if they complain and they have a right to, I will not return to the gym.
	I will suspend my membership until...
	Hysteria moves on.
	We live in the age of hysteria.
	I've warned you about that all of my broadcast life.
	My book, Still the Best Hope, about the left and about American values.
	My book delineates 11 hysterias.
	And that was written a few years ago.
	We can up the number at any time.
	Hysteria is to the left what oxygen is to biological life.
	No hysteria, no left.
	And they were all unworthy.
	The only hysteria that is actually non-hysterical is fear of the left.
	Since everything they touch, they destroy.
	So the air conditioning, that's their ideal now, the next ideal.
	There's always a higher purpose, of course.
	Oh, this is global warming.
	Why should you have air conditioning?
	Why should you have a car?
	As long as the higher purpose is in God.
	Well said, Sean.

	How's this that I picked up from the Wall Street Journal?
	Nicole Hanna-Jones, architect of the New York Times 1619 Project, said this week, quote, The most equal multiracial country in our hemisphere, it would be Cuba.
	That's largely due to socialism, which I'm sure no one wants to hear.
	Yeah, that's it.
	The woman is sick.
	The whole left is sick.
	There's no exception, because if you aren't sick, morally or emotionally, you would be a liberal or a conservative, but you wouldn't be a leftist.
	She's sick.
	Her hatred of America is so deep that she lives in this world of belief that it is better in Cuba for a black than in America for a black.
	Do you understand?
	Do you have a better word than sick?
	I'd like it, by the way.
	It's not my favorite word.
	It's just the most accurate I can think of.
	It's morally sick, if there's such a thing.
	And it comes from a sickness in her soul.
	Better to be a black in Cuba than in the United States.

	How is your father holding up?
	I mean, after delivering results for our country, doing everything he said he was going to do, people kind of take me aside.
	They say, hey, how are they hanging in there?
	Any insight you can give us, Don, into that?
	Yeah, listen, we're doing well, you know, maybe because we're a bit masochistic.
	We sort of like to be in the fight.
	And more importantly, because the fight is worth it.
	I mean, you brought up opening this thing, you know, my book, Liberal Privilege.
	Like, it's literally about all of these things.
	You know, whether it's, you know, whether it's the sort of faulty persecutions, whether it's the ongoing aspects of this.
	I mean, look at what's going on even, you know, take January 6th, okay?
	And say what you want about it.
	Like, if you commit a crime, you should commit a crime, but...
	The FBI and the highest levels of law enforcement, anyone who is, you know, if you are within about 2,000 miles of Washington, D.C., and you're a conservative, it's like the FBI is putting out, have you seen this man?
	He was seen somewhere within 1,500 miles of D.C. that day.
	Let's find him.
	But 13, 14 months of looting, of arson, burning our cities down, taking over buildings.
	Charlie, I've been told that that's insurrection.
	I've been told that's insurrection, and yet...
	There doesn't seem to be any interest in looking into that insurrection.
	It's total pass.
	And this is how disgusting it's been.
	And that's my point.
	We have to stay in the fight.
	We have to be engaged.
	You and I both understand how much of a disadvantage you are in if you're a conservative.
	You get no help from the mainstream media.
	You get no help from. You get no help
	from.
	You get no help from.
	And I'm headed there.
	So look at the banner and get the information.
	The banner about staying with Israel is up at DennisPrager.com.
	Wow.
	Why don't you think of what I just told you?
	This bad soul who's the architect of the New York Times 1619 project, Nicole Hannah-Jones, says, better to be a black in Cuba than in the United States.
	What do you think of that?
	Boy, is it true that if you repeat a lie enough, people believe it.
	God, that's all I've watched in the last 20 years at least.
	What?
	I don't know the answer.
	What psychological need in this woman does it fill to believe that she is spectacularly oppressed in America?
	There's some emotional psychological need to believe a gigantic lie.
	And I don't know what it is.
	I don't know because I know I don't have such a need.
	I'm in love with the truth.
	But it apparently meets the needs of great numbers of people.
	Woe unto me, I am oppressed.
	I'm a female in America, I'm oppressed.
	I'm a black in America, it's worse than in Cuba.
	Bizarre, isn't it, how many black Cubans want to come to America?
	No blacks in America seem to be moving to Cuba.
	Why would that be?
	How do you live a lie like that?
	How good is her life as an editor or whatever she is at the New York Times?
	You know how much better she has it than the vast majority of white males in this country?
	So how does she live with this make-believe world that they've entered?
	The whole left world is a make-believe world.
	All the riots and protests were over make-believe.
	Yes, it is make-believe that there was some vast killing of blacks by police.
	I'll repeat every day, because you don't hear it much.
	Unfortunately, under 20 unarmed blacks were killed last year, and the year before, and the year before that, by police in the United States.
	Most Americans think thousands.
	Because they listen to the New York Times and they listen to the Washington Post and CNN and NPR who lie about police brutality, lie about it on a regular daily basis.
	They don't even know they're lying.
	They lie that much.
	That's why this woman at the New York Times who invented the 1619 lie Can believe it is better for a black Cuban in Cuba than a black American in America.
	You get it?
	But your children never hear what I just said.
	Never.
	They're banned from hearing it.
	You're going to watch a PragerU video?
	You're going to listen to a Dennis Prager show?
	Or any of the other talk radio right-wingers?
	That's what they're told.
	Anyway, watch your air conditioner.
	It's the next thing.
	Okay.
	Diane in Los Angeles.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	When you were describing that woman, instead of using the word sick, how about dilutinal?
	It kind of reminds me of a friend who had a nervous breakdown of sorts.
	She always had a problem with self-confidence, but as she got worse and worse and before she really snapped, the things that she believed about herself were just so unreal that she was just such a horrible person.
	And the word that always came to mind was that she was delusional.
	She just was believing stuff that was blatantly, ridiculously not true about herself.
	And I think that's a better word than sick.
	I like that.
	I think that that's certainly a good one.
	Delusional.
	I like it.
	I thank you.
	Talking about delusional, somebody made an interesting point, I don't remember who it was, that I was reading recently on the transgendered, and how doctors or therapists are supposed to completely align themselves with their patient, even if the patient is 11 years old.
	A boy who says he's a girl, Then you affirm you're a girl.
	Why don't we do that with anorexics?
	That was the argument that I read.
	This is not original to me.
	I thought it was a great argument.
	Why do we even call it anorexia?
	Why don't we simply affirm, yes, you are fat.
	If you think you're fat, you're fat.
	If you think you're a girl, you're a girl.
	And if you think you're fat, you're fat.
	Why do we try to talk...
	Anorexics, out of anorexia.
	If they think they're fat, they're fat.
	If we are what we think we are, why doesn't it apply to that?
	It's an interesting argument.
	Talk about delusional.
	Men give birth.
	It's a big thing at the New York Times that men give birth.
	Article after article.
	How do women feel about this?
	It's like women are being robbed of their uniqueness.
	Not like.
	They are.
	Men give birth and women give birth.
	You're not even a woman if you give birth.
	You're a birthing person.
	That's what they now call women.
	Birthing person.
	It shows you how bored the left is.
	These people have vapid lives.
	Vapid.
	This is a cause.
	Like, we won't use Latino.
	We use Latinx.
	Oh, you sneezed?
	Do you need a Latinx?

	Mike, what's the upstate of South Carolina life like, Mike?
	Mike, it is wide open for business, baby.
	We are rocking and rolling, and we cannot get enough people to work.
	So come on down here and grab yourself a job.
	I love it.
	That makes me happy.
	Coming back to work makes me happy.
	Thank you, Mike.

	Joe Biden was sold as a moderate.
	People that had worked with Joe Biden back in the day said, oh, I've known Joe for years.
	He's okay.
	He's fine.
	Listen, when he got the hair plugs, he flipped.
	A long time ago, he was bald as an egg, and he got hair plugs.
	And I believe those hair plugs were from a Chinese lab in the Wuhan province, and things started to go screwy, and he flipped.
	So he said – I don't know that that's true.
	I think he hid maybe who he was for a long time.
	A lot of liberals did in the 70s and 80s.
	First of all, he's nobody.
	He has no values.
	Let's not kid ourselves.
	He's not a Marxist.
	He is a husk of a person, and he will just do – that's the whole point of your article at townhall.com.
	People are running him and steering him, and he doesn't have the whisper of what we would call courage or conviction.
	Right.
	Well, and because he can't get the stuff kicked out fast enough.
	I mean, they've attacked so many different areas of culture and life all at once.
	And I think this is part of the blowback that is causing parental communities to rise up.
	You know, one of the things I'm most excited about, to be candid out of all this, is to see the growth of middle-class black parents.
	There's something very powerful about a father and a mother, married black couple living in a suburb and being part of a community and saying to a school board, what you're in essence trying to do is teach my child to be a racist.

	- Hi, everybody.
	You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
	Glenn, in Upland, California, you've been waiting since you were 38 years old, and you're now 39. Yes, sir.
	Oh, I'm 39, sir.
	I know.
	I said you were waiting since you're 38. You're waiting that long.
	Oh, that's a joke.
	Thank you, sir.
	What I was going to say is, what I've found a correlation between communism, Nazism, and what's going on in the American left is...
	Well, you hit on three issues today.
	The first one you were speaking about was the global warming or the climate change.
	The other one was transgenderism.
	The other one was about men giving birth.
	And two books in particular that helped me in my perspective is one is called Hitler and the Nazi-Darwinian Worldview.
	And it showed how Hitler used science.
	At least this is what he was teaching.
	Germany was a mecca in the turn of the century of the scientific community and all these five types of things.
	And that's what Hitler used.
	He wanted to...
	The other book I have, and it's called Hitler's Scientists.
	And when you open a book...
	I read Hitler's Scientists.
	Was it Max Weinreich?
	Go ahead.
	It says, quote, science is the ruin of the human soul.
	And that's what we're seeing in the last year and a half in America.
	Science without conscience, Mr. Prager.
	They are cloaking everything in science so that way the public doesn't question it.
	That's exactly right.
	That is exactly right.
	They cloak everything in science so that the public doesn't question it.
	That's right.
	These are the people who, during the Bush administration, I'll never forget all the bumper stickers, question authority.
	And And dissent is patriotic.
	They certainly didn't believe that.

	Hello.
	Hey, my Jewish rabbi.
	And I'm not Jewish.
	Right.
	And most rabbis are.
	I know, but I'm not.
	But you're still my rabbi.
	Jewish rabbi is redundant.
	I was just making a joke about it.
	Go ahead.
	Oh, I gotcha.
	Gotcha.
	Hey, just real quick, because I know you're running out of time.
	I've been on hydroxychloroquine for most of the past 10 years for a condition that's kind of rare, so I've got several different physicians that are weighing in on it.
	I've been on 400 milligrams hydroxychloroquine twice a day, among other things, and only within the last two months, two of my physicians have stated 400 milligrams twice a day.
	Two of my physicians have said, I'm taking way too much, and they both cut my dosage.
	Those physicians are examples of why I've lost respect for many in the medical profession.
