	Hello, everyone.
	What a lovely introduction from Dennis.
	I didn't know that he would be doing that.
	And hey, did you guys like the Billy Joel coming into the show?
	I told Sean a few minutes ago that I'm a Billy Joel fan.
	Yes, I'm 21 years old, but apparently I'm a 40-year-old at heart.
	Welcome everyone.
	As you can tell from my voice, I am not Dennis Prager.
	As Dennis said, my name is Julie Hartman and I am a college student.
	And some of you actually may recognize my voice because I've been lucky enough to be a weekly guest host on the show this summer.
	I've been working alongside Dennis.
	As an intern for the past few months, and I was so honored and humbled when he asked me to guest host for him while he was abroad.
	So thank you, Dennis, and thank you to Alan Estrin for trusting me with the show.
	I hope I don't let you down, and certainly thanks to all of you for listening.
	I've spent a lot of time thinking about the show today.
	But before I get into it, I'm sure that there are many of you who are hearing my name for the first time and you're thinking, who is this 21-year-old sitting in for Dennis?
	So let me briefly tell you about my story.
	I actually was not a conservative until relatively recently.
	I was pretty apolitical, but growing up in Los Angeles, going to very liberal schools, I certainly leaned left.
	And although I was always against the cancel culture that I observed from those around me, I never thought that I would be a conservative because honestly, I just thought that a lot of conservative positions were mean and bigoted.
	But that worldview changed last May, and frankly, it was during the Black Lives Matter riots.
	And obviously, the circumstances surrounding George Floyd's death were horribly unfortunate.
	But the reaction that I saw from those around me was really alarming to me, and not the way that I thought we should be handling an event like this.
	The lumping in of all police officers who are heroes with the sins of a few, the defund the police movement, which primarily harms black people, the rioting and looting and Democrat politicians looking the other way, protesting during a pandemic when the people who had...
	Who were protesting and previously decried any kind of gathering as unsafe.
	These Maoist self-criticism sessions for one's white privilege.
	The list goes on.
	But my point is, that is what really woke me up.
	And I went, you know what?
	If this is the left, this is not me.
	And it was this greater realization that my beliefs have never really been challenged in my life.
	So I wanted to seek out another perspective.
	So I scoured the internet.
	And lo and behold, I come across PragerU.
	And I went down a total rabbit hole watching all of the videos.
	And I learned so much.
	PragerU changed my mind so profoundly on issues.
	And even the issues that it didn't change my mind on, I came to, at the very least, respect the conservative position, which was obviously very valuable.
	But what was even more valuable to me was that through PragerU, I found Dennis.
	And the benefit of being in quarantine at the time was that it took me only about three and a half weeks to read every single one of Dennis' books.
	And the way that he described religion...
	And ethical monotheism was so powerful to me.
	The way he talked about the American value system, some of you may be shocked by this, but I had never heard the term e pluribus unum before encountering Dennis.
	And I describe it like walking into a dark room having the light switch turned on.
	That's what Dennis' ideas did for me.
	And I'm so fortunate to be an individual who is still learning and evolving.
	But what I realized is that there were just some aspects of conservatism that resonated with the core of who I am.
	And it wasn't my exact position on a specific policy.
	It was bigger things like freedom, the power of the nuclear family, limited government.
	This idea that the individual reigns supreme, that you control your own destiny.
	I realized that's who Julie Hartman is, and that's what my parents imparted to me.
	And I just put two and two together and realized that it also happened to align with conservative values.
	So back to the story.
	I emailed Dennis after I finished reading his books, and I just said, you've really influenced me, and I want to thank you.
	And miraculously, he saw my email and responded.
	And he said, hey, you mentioned that you live in LA. I do my radio show out of Glendale.
	Why don't you come in sometime and sit in for an hour?
	So I was like, duh, of course I'm going to do that.
	So the next week, I come into the studio, and I'm sitting here, and we're talking during commercial breaks.
	We're having a good banter.
	And Dennis turns to me and he goes, you know what, Julie?
	Your story is interesting.
	And I think that my audience might like to hear it.
	No pressure whatsoever, but would you want to go on air?
	And I thought, oh my god, do I do this?
	Do I not do this?
	And I decided to go for it.
	And that day changed the course of my life.
	I did receive a lot of flack after that appearance, which was really painful, but it was ultimately one of the best things that ever happened to me because it made me realize two things about myself.
	First, that it was more painful for me to stay silent about my beliefs than it was to be open and hated.
	And the second thing is, it made me realize that I wanted to continue with this radio thing because I wanted to show people this is what a college kid is supposed to be doing.
	They're supposed to be learning, evolving, seeking out other perspectives.
	No one should have to be punished for that.
	And I also want to say that in addition, I did get a lot of flack, but in addition, I also got a lot of lovely people telling me that I was brave, which I certainly appreciated.
	But also, I wanted to impart to people that what I'm doing shouldn't have to be seen as brave either.
	Again, college kids are supposed to be learning and evolving, and identifying with conservatism shouldn't have to be seen as courageous.
	I think that there are a lot of people out there, and I certainly fell into this category, who feel that the left has gone a bit insane, but they're afraid to associate with the right because they've been fed this lie that conservatives are these mustache-twirling,
	white supremacist, Primitive, gun-toting, gay-hating, Confederate flag-flying cartoon characters, which is obviously so absurd.
	And someone said to me after my appearance, she said, you know, you couldn't have picked a worse time to become a conservative with all that's going on with the political polarization, what's going on with the Republican Party.
	And I said to her, no, I couldn't have picked a better time.
	To become a conservative and come out on air with it.
	Because during this time of madness, I want to be an example of what a thoughtful, decent, nuanced, and yes, very proud conservative looks like.
	So that day I met Dennis was so important.
	From there I developed a really strong relationship with him.
	And it was so sweet.
	He called me every week from then on, and I got to know his lovely wife, Sue, and all the members of his family, and I cannot tell you how much it meant to me the way that he embraced me.
	And he said to me, you know what, Julie?
	I really want to be a mentor to you.
	I want to be a figure in your life.
	And I know that going back to school as a conservative or growing up in liberal L.A., it's hard.
	But I want to be that presence for you.
	And he certainly, certainly is.
	So, I have to tell you this one quick fact.
	Guess what day that first radio appearance was last year?
	That first day I came in and met Dennis.
	August 10th, 2020. Now, do all of you know what day it is today?
	August 10th, 2021. So exactly a year ago, I was sitting in this studio for the first time, not knowing that it would completely change the course of my life.
	And exactly a year later, I'm sitting in the main chair as a guest host.
	If that's not providential, people, I don't know what is.
	I'm Julie Hartman.
	will be back.
	Trending now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	So they're already going to now mandate indoor mask mandates.
	And in fact, certain sources that cover the White House very well, including Jack Pasebic, who has been wrong about almost nothing with his sources, say that lockdowns are coming to blue states in the next couple weeks.
	Did you know that five people in Washington, D.C. died from COVID in the last week and 11 people died from homicide?
	On average, we have 1,800 people that die of heart disease every single day in America.
	Why are we allowing these people to now get us into another state of panic?
	And then you want it to fit better.
	So one of the ways you could do it, if you would like to, is put a cloth mask over, which actually here and here and here, where you could get leakage in, is much better contained.
	Are you a double masker, Dr. Fauci?
	Look like you are.
	Now, Alicia, I think, probably has a good reason.
	To reject her doctor's explanation that that's the guy that we should all listen to.
	Matt Taibbi, in this report, or his column that I saw at New York Post, said he writes, Politifact, which now basically exists to deflect criticism from the Biden administration, rated false the claim that Biden and Harris actually had reservations about the safety But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
	Hmm.
	Matt Taibbi says PolitiFact's excuse is that the then-candidates, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, were raising questions not about the vaccines themselves, but about then-President Donald Trump's rollout of the vaccines.
	But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
	Uh-huh.
	PolitiFact said it's false to Kamala Harris.
	Matt Taibbi says, wait a minute, PolitiFact says it's false.
	What the hell does that mean?
	That it's okay to have reservations not just about the White House, but about the CDC, FDA, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and every other institution involved with the vaccine effort if you don't like or trust the president?
	But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.

	music I mean, if you're going to censor yourself in deference to that power that's above you, that's telling you what you can and can't say, you know, then you are the joke.
	You're not making jokes.
	You are the joke.
	Comedians, you know, in our situation, you know, what we look at is what we're doing.
	We're often accused, we're lately have been accused of punching down.
	We're punching back.
	We're not punching down.
	This is a situation where conservatives are literally on the ropes in the culture battle.
	And they're defending themselves against this top-down attack, this top-down tyranny from progressive ideology that's coming from celebrities, it's coming from corporations, it's coming from politicians.
	We're not punching down.
	We're punching back at that stuff.
	So how big...
	on beat like it's grown dramatically but like give us some numbers so we have a sense of where you welcome
	back everyone This is the Dennis Prager Show.
	I'm Julie Hartman.
	I just want to tell you quickly that there's been some breaking news that Governor Andrew Cuomo is resigning, effective in 14 days.
	I just wanted to let you know I will provide more information on that as that information comes in, but it is certainly shocking news.
	I want to give you a little bit of a roadmap of the show today.
	And this journey that I've been on politically has made me think about some questions that have really fascinated me.
	The first one is, how did we get here?
	How has the left been able to amass such power with their anti-American, anti-capitalist sentiments, their hysteria over white supremacy and infatuation with wokeism?
	How did these things come to permeate our institutions?
	And the second question I think about a lot is, how do we fix it?
	How do we combat this?
	So I want to spend today talking about these big questions.
	And later on in the show, I want to discuss the main lines of thought that emerged in the early 20th century that I think laid the seeds for modern-day American liberalism.
	I want to focus on the ideas of Woodrow Wilson and how Einstein and Freud's scientific theories influence social thought.
	And then, probably when we get to the third hour of the show, I want to dedicate that hour to talking about how we can rectify our plight.
	And specifically, I want to discuss how we can talk to people about conservatism in an effective way.
	But before we do that, before we talk about the past and the future, let's talk about where we are now.
	And I have a personal story that I think illustrates the state of the left in America perfectly.
	So earlier this summer, I was at a formal celebratory gathering, and I was seated next to this couple in their 60s.
	So we introduce ourselves, have a pleasant conversation, they seem very nice, and the wife says to me, well, what are you doing this summer?
	So I tell her, I'm working for Dennis Prager.
	And immediately, it was like I had told her that I was working for the devil himself.
	Her face just dropped and her demeanor turned very angry.
	And look, I actually love talking to people with whom I disagree because I learn a lot.
	And selfishly, I want a career in radio, so it's always good to get some practice respectfully debating with people.
	But she just turned so aggressive and condescending and accusatory.
	And I tried several times to move on from the conversation.
	I said, I'm sure we agree more than we disagree.
	Let's talk about something else.
	Because again, we're at a formal celebration.
	I don't want to cause a scene.
	But she kept digging her heels in.
	And I was just not going to let her bully me.
	So there are so many things that I could tell you about this encounter.
	First of all, who does that?
	Again, at a formal celebration.
	And second of all, not that I can't handle it, but who does that to a 21-year-old kid?
	A woman in her 60s doing that to a kid.
	But one of the highlights I've got to tell you of this conversation is when it turned to climate change.
	And this woman says, you know, I really care about climate change and conservatives don't take it seriously.
	And ready for it?
	This woman has a yacht.
	And multiple homes.
	And she's telling me that we don't care about climate change?
	So I say to her, I say respectfully, it's phony for you to decry conservatives as the evildoers with climate change when your consumption is so excessive.
	And by the way, I said to her, I think you have a right to own a yacht, you know.
	You worked hard, you made a lot of money, but what you don't have a right to do is then hector everyone else when you yourself are so hypocritical.
	And her response was truly priceless.
	She goes, you know, you conservatives always point to our hypocrisy, and that's not the issue.
	The issue is that we need more solutions from the government.
	I was thinking, what...
	What is the issue if not human overconsumption and carbon emissions?
	I mean, seriously, what is the issue then?
	How convenient for her to say that it's not her yacht, it's not her consumption that's the problem, it's the government's problem.
	Beyond the hubris, the total lack of self-awareness, the utter hypocrisy, you know what?
	Actually crystallized something, made something very clear for me.
	And that is, in my view, the fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives more broadly is that we conservatives place our ultimate value on individual action.
	That comment she made, no, it's not my consumption that's the issue.
	It's what the government does that's the issue.
	That was so revealing.
	Because I've noticed that on the left, there's this sense that we have to go beyond ourselves and fix society at large.
	And what conservatism has imparted to me is, what is society if not a conglomeration of individuals, right?
	Fixing society starts with fixing you.
	It's so unfortunate that a lot of leftists have thrown the baby out with the bathwater in regards to religion, because that's what religion teaches us.
	You battle you before you battle everyone else.
	This is just so crazy.
	I mean, how does that woman expect others to listen to her advice when her example is so at odds with what she claims to believe?
	And look.
	I'm not trying to pick on this one woman, right?
	God bless her.
	You never know what goes on behind closed doors to make someone have such a strong, visceral reaction like that.
	But I'm highlighting this story because it's a pattern.
	This is something I see a lot, and when I talk to people about conservatism, I get that kind of reaction.
	Are conservatives hypocritical sometimes?
	Of course they are.
	Everyone is hypocritical.
	But we have to diagnose the issue here.
	So much, I think, of the moral superiority, the hubris, the hectoring, and the lack of civic duty that we see among Americans today comes from this ruling class of people who have internalized In my view, this overwhelmingly leftist rot that it doesn't matter what you do.
	It matters what your policy position is.
	I can't wait to learn more about this Cuomo story.
	That was a bomb that was dropped during this show.
	When we come back, we'll have more about it.

	Which is very interesting because it's been 13 days since the District of Columbia last reported a death with COVID. We've had 11 homicides in the last 13 days, but zero deaths with COVID. Maybe they should ban homicides, Phil.

	No difference in mean CT values.
	In unvaccinated and vaccinated cases.
	In fact, the vaccinated cases were 0.4% higher.
	That's the CDC's own data.
	That vaccinated Americans in Massachusetts, and I'm just reading from the document, in Barnstable County, that the median among vaccinated...
	Was N equals 80?
	I'm not sure what that value represents.
	But 21.9, unvaccinated, N equals 65, 21.5.
	I'm guessing that's how many people they were testing.
	I need to go look at what the values represent.
	It says here that risk of infection, reinfection with the Delta variant may be higher, compelled to the Alpha variant.
	But only if prior infection is 180 days earlier.
	It says this, that the Delta variant may cause more severe disease than the Alpha or the ancestral strains.
	So they're already going to now mandate indoor mask mandates.
	music
	music Hello and welcome back to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Julie Hartman here.
	I was just reading an article that Triple G, Sean, our lovely technical director here at the Dennis Prager Show, printed out for me about Governor Cuomo.
	You know, my takeaway from this is just kind of how corrupt the media is.
	Governor Cuomo, let us not forget, The media was totally rooting for him to go in the race with Biden and be the Democratic contender for president in 2020. Meanwhile, and they're praising him and they're saying that his COVID response was so great and he's this hero.
	And meanwhile, behind the scenes, there's this sexual harassment stuff going on.
	There's the nursing home scandal going on.
	And now, a year later, It's finally coming out, and he has no choice to resign.
	Yes, the media.
	It's no shock how they handled this.
	You know what else I thought was really funny that the media handled or didn't handle this past weekend?
	It was President Obama's birthday party.
	Remember they told us last week when President Obama was planning that 60th birthday bash that was between 500 and 700 people, and they go, Obama's going to scale it back.
	It's just going to be family and friends.
	Have you all seen the pictures of this birthday bash?
	I was looking at them this morning.
	There is a tent the size of the White House.
	Hundreds and hundreds of people posted videos from this event.
	Honestly, it looked really fun.
	But how funny.
	Obama has this party.
	No masks.
	No distancing, no vaccine requirement for him, but then the rest of us peasants have to abide by those things.
	Again, the media, why are they not covering this more?
	Why are they not calling out this hypocrisy?
	You know what, though?
	I actually think that this goes beyond hypocrisy.
	It hits at something bigger.
	This indicates a startling lack of principles.
	And I think instead of just pointing out or publicizing instances like the Obama birthday party, I think that we conservatives need to take a different approach.
	I think we need to start asking questions of those on the left, putting them on the defensive, saying to them, what do you really believe in?
	What do you affirmatively stand for?
	Because if the president truly believed as He says he does, that the Delta variant is a threat.
	He wouldn't want to have a 500-person birthday party.
	That would scare him.
	Similarly, the woman I just discussed, who says that she cares about climate change and owns a yacht, if that woman truly believed what she says, that climate change is a threat, she wouldn't want to have a yacht.
	Again, that would scare her.
	I ask one more time, what do these people truly believe in?
	Another timely example that's been in the news a lot, look at this New York City mandate to show vaccination cards.
	Okay, so requiring people to present a vaccination card to ensure a safe restaurant environment is fine, but then requiring voters to present IDs to ensure a safe election is Jim Crow.
	I want to say to them, please identify the principle for me that makes IDs okay in one situation and then bigoted in another.
	Again, I want to emphasize, this is not just hypocrisy.
	This is a lack of principle.
	Or how about the other day, I'm sure Sean can call this up, Dennis played on the show recordings of various Democrats discussing the need for border control.
	Again, this is like 2009, 2010. And you hear them referring to immigrants as, quote, illegal aliens and calling for border security.
	But now, today, that's not woke.
	And you can't do that anymore.
	That's xenophobic and bigoted.
	Oh gosh, this is another great one.
	How about when they hated Trump for building a border wall, but then, after the January 6th riots, they built a wall around the Capitol?
	Again, what do they stand for?
	I'm not advocating for a type of brittle consistency, but you do not see this to the extent on the right.
	The left is mostly guided, it seems, by one thing, whatever benefits them at the time.
	But that's not a principle.
	A principle is something you stick by even when it doesn't benefit you.

	Before we get to that, I just want to tell you, I just finished reading Ben Shapiro's new book, The Authoritarian Moment, and it was so good.
	And by the way, this is not an ad, a paid ad for Ben Shapiro, although I kind of wish it were, because that means I could have some form of contact with him.
	But what Ben does in the book is he goes institution by institution.
	Corporate America, Hollywood, the media, social media, education establishment.
	And he explains how these institutions over time have become controlled by the left.
	And one of his best points, I think, to explain how that happened is he says, discrimination law of the 1960s says that you cannot discriminate on the base of race, gender, religion.
	Age, I'm probably forgetting some, but definitely those four.
	What's missing from that list?
	Political view.
	So you can't discriminate on the basis of all those other things I mentioned, but there's nothing in civil rights law that says that you can't discriminate on the basis of someone's political views.
	That's pretty striking.
	I think, though, the most valuable part of Ben's book is that he provides Excellent specifics of the kind of discrimination against conservatives.
	And that's so great because we all know that this stuff goes on.
	But sometimes we just need some ammo and some, again, very exact specifics to point to.
	So if you're longing for those things, Ben Shapiro's book is where it's at.
	He has many of them.
	I just want to rattle off a few that really stuck with me.
	This is stuff I didn't really even know about, or if I did know about it, I forgot about it.
	The first is, in 2018, American Airlines and United Airlines pulled their discount benefits for NRA members.
	So if you're an NRA member, you're not eligible to get any kind of discount on any of those airlines' flights.
	Second one is when Twitter and Facebook blocked the Hunter Biden story before the 2020 election in October and November because they said that they needed to fact check it.
	And then, miraculously, after Biden won, poof!
	They conveniently allow it to be circulated on those platforms.
	Third one, how about when North Carolina passed a bill that mandated separate bathrooms for men and women, and transgender activists thought that that was bigoted.
	So companies like PayPal and Adidas dumped their plans for facilities in North Carolina.
	And North Carolina was going to lose so much money, billions of dollars, that they had no choice to repeal the bathroom bill.
	That is, this is coercion, this is despotism and utter discrimination.
	And it got me thinking, something that I've noticed that Democrats do, not every Democrat, but again, more broadly, is that they're willing to overlook or excuse or even actively condone this type of behavior because they say, well, we're on the right side of history.
	Whatever our offenses are, it's better for us to be in power, and it's better for us to suppress conservatives because they're so evil.
	And you know what?
	That is a lie that every unaccountable ruling elite tells themselves.
	One of the most surprisingly interesting classes I've taken so far in college was an early modern Europe class.
	And I say surprisingly only because I thought it would be really dry.
	And the historical example that I learned in that class that reminds me most of the Democratic Party is the medieval Catholic Church of Europe before Martin Luther came along.
	And I just want to say, I was raised Catholic.
	I'm not criticizing the Catholic Church now, although it definitely has some problems, but I'm criticizing the Catholic Church of the 1500s.
	And like the Democrat Party now, they controlled everything.
	Anyone who dared to oppose them would be crushed.
	And crucially, when they practiced terrible behavior, like indulgences, this idea that you can buy your way to heaven by donating to the church, when they practiced those terrible things and people called them out for those things, their response was, well, we're on God's side.
	We're doing God's work.
	All that stuff we do, it's fine because, again, we're on the right side of history.
	Every unaccountable, self-dealing, determined to keep themselves in power elite in the history of the universe has come up with a mythology or a narrative that they are morally superior to justify their horrible behavior.
	And the stuff I just mentioned that Ben Shapiro talked about, Is no exception.
	And you know what's interesting?
	I think that the Democrats think that they are different from any other elite in history.
	I think they look at something like the medieval Catholic Church and they think that the church secretly knew that it was corrupt.
	But no.
	Every elite thinks that it's right and proper for them to be in power.
	Every elite.
	And it's hilarious to me.
	It's truly hilarious when so many leftists mock religion and the religious fanatics of hundreds of years ago.
	They think that they are so much better and more tolerant.
	But look at wokeism.
	If you substitute the word sinner for racist, Or Satan follower for white supremacist.
	These people who run around shrieking and yelling, these people on the left, they are no different than the religious crazies of centuries back.
	There's that same malignant impulse to Hector and to control people.
	It's just costumed a bit differently.
	And that is what I learned in that class.
	And that is what Ben Shapiro's book imparted to me.

	Hello everyone.
	Welcome back to the final segment of the hour.
	Boy, it goes by fast.
	I want to take some calls.
	Sean, let's start with line two.
	Giannis from Brookdale, California.
	Giannis, you are the first phone call I am ever taking.
	I will never forget you.
	Hello.
	Thank you.
	I'm glad to make my debut.
	Yes, so I would like to talk about using my favorite author, Tom Sowell, on manipulating words to make the anointed seem that much higher up than the supposed benighted or the common folk.
	Yes, it's true.
	I love Tom Sowell, and I love when he calls liberals the anointed ones, as you're saying.
	And when he talks about that, he says, liberals think that they are so much better and so much smarter than everyone else that it is their divine providence.
	Well, of course, I shouldn't say that because they are mostly secular.
	But if they did believe in religion, they would think it is their divine providence to rule over the rest of us.
	You are so right, Giannis.
	Thank you for your call.
	All right, Sean, why don't we go to line four.
	Is it Harold?
	I can't quite read that far.
	From Columbia, South Carolina.
	Hello.
	Yes, this is Harold in Columbia, South Carolina.
	I was listening to your story about the lady in the yacht.
	It made me think of my friends.
	They do the same thing, but with their gasoline car.
	They'll come over here and talk about how bad internal combustion engines are, and then they get in their car and drive back home.
	Here in South Carolina, starting this weekend, they are going to change the traffic laws such that on the interstate, if you're in the left lane and driving slow, which is what an electric car will have to do, you're going to be heavily ticketed for that.
	Is that true?
	It got me thinking.
	The way to stop a lot of this nonsense is to force reality testing on these people and their ideas.
	And it's just not going to hold up.
	An electric car is not...
	We're going to zoom down the interstate in the left lane 80 miles an hour for any length of time.
	Not going to happen.
	Harold, I've got to tell you, you just made Triple G, Sean, our technical director, crack up.
	I am looking at him through the screen here, and he is cracking up.
	I agree with you, Harold.
	Thank you.
	All right, how about line 5?
	Again, I can't read this far.
	God, I need to get glasses.
	Tim.
	Tim from Kansas City.
	Hello, Tim.
	How are you doing?
	I'm great.
	Thank you.
	Good.
	Hank, first of all, you must get your own radio show.
	I know Dennis has a great affection for you, but you have what it takes, lady.
	Thank you, Tim.
	I appreciate that.
	You articulate, your clarity is astonishing.
	It's just lovely to hear.
	We need those kind of voices out here.

	I love to engage strangers in conversation, and I guess that's...
	People know me for that.
	I would say it's a 50 to 1 ratio of people that are agreeing with our viewpoint on our nation, on our government, that there's all the outliers out there.
	Yes, Tim, you're right.
	I'm so sorry to have to cut you off, but we have to end the hour.
	We'll be back.
	Thank you, Tim. Tim.
	It's time for the fearless.
	There's no time for the meek.
	This is America's moment, what's taking place in our schools, the crime in our cities, all of these things that we can see unraveling this most exceptional nation.
	It's time for the real believers and the real conservatives to step forward and be absolutely fearless in doing so.
	But I think a lot of Americans have woken up, and so we don't even know what is going on on the grassroots level because you can't keep track of everything.
	But I think people are rising.
	And they're looking for folks like you and the handful of others in Congress.
	And they're saying, we can no longer do business as usual.
	But, I mean, ten years ago, you were not thinking like this.
	No, no.
	You nailed it.
	You absolutely nailed it.
	And by the way, I can give you two data points from the last 48 hours.
	I was in southwest Missouri at the Ashcroft Family Farm.
	It was a picnic outdoor.
	Poured rain right about an hour before the picnic.
	Nobody left.
	They left.
	They gave me a chance.
	They gave former Attorney General Ashcroft a chance to talk about the Bible and America and what we were all going to go do.
	These people were on fire to take back.
	And I had people come up and say, I never thought I'd run for city council, and I'm going to do it.
	And I had a couple of law enforcement who said, you know, I didn't have any interest in actually being the sheriff, but our sheriff won't enforce the rules.
	I'm going to go do that.
	No, this is different.
	I was in Iowa at an event that was very similar to that.
	People are engaged in their civic life, in their churches, in their community in ways that I have not seen.
	I've been at this now nine, ten years from the time I first lost my mind and ran for Congress when Obama was the president and we had to throw Nancy out the last time.
	Who to believe would have to throw her out of speakership again?
	But here we are, and this is a moment where people are being tested, they're being challenged, and my observation is people are rising to that challenge.

	music Hello everyone, welcome back to the Dennis Prager Show.
	I've got to tell you, during the commercial break, I just got a text from Dennis that he is listening from Prague.
	I don't know what time it is there, Dennis, but thank you for listening.
	I miss you.
	I'll see you later this week.
	I'm Julie Hartman, everyone, the 21-year-old college student who is lucky enough to guest host for Dennis today.
	I've decided to designate this hour as a history hour because I'm a history major, a total history nerd.
	I just have to tell you as a quick aside to just show you what a nerd I am.
	One year as a joint birthday and Christmas present, my mom took me to Dallas, Texas for 36 hours so that I could see the JFK assassination site because I developed a fascination with that event.
	Again, just shows you what a nerd I am.
	I mentioned this earlier, but one of the questions that has fascinated me as I've become a conservative is how the left has been able to become so prominent.
	And I often think to myself, how did it get to this place?
	And most people rightly point to the 1960s as the time when the hard left seeped into the rest.
	Of the American left.
	But I always felt like it wasn't a satisfactory explanation when people would point to the 60s and the various social movements as the cause of our plight today.
	Because I would think to myself, history didn't start in the 60s.
	Surely there were things that happened before or leading up to the 60s that made it what it was.
	So today I want to talk about some of those things.
	The developments in the early 20th century that I think laid the seeds for modern day liberalism.
	And first I want to focus, I've done so much reading on this and it's so interesting to me, I want to focus on the theories of Einstein and Freud.
	And how although they were scientific theories, they thoroughly transformed social thought.
	So in the early 1900s, Einstein's theory of relativity was confirmed.
	And obviously, I'm not a scientist, but to distill it into one sentence, for hundreds of years, everyone believed that Newton's laws of physics, which were fixed and predictable, applied all the time, everywhere.
	And what Einstein discovered is that there are certain situations where Newton's laws don't apply.
	That other, more stretchy laws of physics apply that make time and space relative to one another.
	And, to be honest, the technical aspects don't matter.
	They're kind of boring.
	But the important thing here is this theory of Einstein's, which was only 100 years ago, totally upended people's understanding of how the universe works.
	I try to understand how profound it is, and the only modern-day equivalent that I can think of is if we discovered life on another planet.
	That is truly how groundbreaking it was.
	So just as if today we discovered something revolutionary, back then, Einstein's discovery made people wonder, Well, if what I believed about how the universe works wasn't exactly true or reliable, what else that I believe about the world isn't true or reliable?
	And I think this is where we start to see religion become doubted, objective morality become doubted, this idea of, well, if time and space are relative, maybe morality can be relative.
	Einstein's influence was not confined to science.
	His discovery shook people's confidence more broadly.
	It gave them the sense that the things that they may think are secure could crumble from under them at any moment.
	And I'm sure some of you listening are thinking, as I once did, it's a big leap to say that Einstein's scientific thought had such a big effect on social thought.
	And to that I would say, Scientific thought always influences social thought.
	Look at Darwinism, right?
	This idea that there are fit groups and unfit groups hugely influenced eugenicists like Hitler and Margaret Sanger.
	So science attempts to explain how the world works, and that's what social theories do, too.
	So the two really go hand in hand.
	So that's Einstein.
	His theory, I think, unintentionally kicked off this moral relativist science over religion idea that has led to a lot of moral backwardness.
	And what's so interesting is that Einstein actually recognized what he had unleashed.
	And he said, he wrote about it, and he said, oh my god, I didn't mean for my theory to wreak this kind of havoc.
	Socially and morally.
	But as if Einstein's theory wasn't enough for people to handle, the scientist Freud came along during the early 20th century with his theories of how the brain works.
	And his main contribution was that he argued that your conscious experience of the world is just the tip of the iceberg.
	That there's this deep subconscious underneath that dictates the way that you behave.
	And he said that a lot of your pathologies or your personality traits are programmed into you depending on the way that you are potty trained, he said, depending on the way you develop sexually, all these kind of crazy things.
	And so...
	Just as Einstein's theory planted seeds for moral relativism, Freud's theory planted seeds for a subtle yet destructive moral idea that you cannot control your own behavior.
	That it's dictated by these external things that are beyond your reach.
	And we see this mindset.
	We see that this is very common today.
	When the left says stuff like, well, society pushes people to commit crime, we can trace that in some measure back to Freud.
	And the conservative position is, no, society doesn't determine whether or not you commit crime.
	You and your values determine whether or not you commit crime.
	And what's so interesting to me about the Freudian approach is that it's actually very similar to Marxism in this sense.
	Both theories discount the value of the human soul.
	They reduce human beings to a set of impulses and experiences, and both of them say that things on the surface are not what they seem.
	That there's a hidden current beneath that determines human behavior.
	And for Marx, that current was obviously class struggle or economic forces.
	And for Freud, that current was sexual forces.
	But this idea of, I have control over my own behavior, that has been a very threatening idea to the left throughout human history.
	Think about Marxism.
	They want to replace your ability to think with groupthink and your ability to decide for yourself with directives from the state.
	You know, I mentioned Darwin earlier, and it's important to note that Darwin's survival of the fittest theory that came earlier than Einstein and Freud came in the second half of the 1800s.
	I think that was the first big earthquake that made the subsequent earthquakes of Einstein and Freud possible.
	Because before Darwin, people kind of understood the world as governed by a universal order with God's will.
	And Darwin complicated that story a bit by saying that within a species there are fit and unfit members.
	And that the fit ones survive and are able to reproduce.
	And again, this is so interesting to me.
	Like Einstein, Darwin agonized over the effects of his theory socially and morally.
	And as Dennis says all the time, when people's belief in God or in moral order or how the world works, when that becomes shaken...
	Something new enters that space.
	And sometimes, we see with the effects of Einstein and Freud, the things that enter that space are not always good, and in fact, can be very harmful.
	We'll be back, everyone.
	This is the History Hour of the Dennis Prager Show.

	Steven, let's pretend like you were president for a day.
	What do we do to get this economy back in shape?
	So the first thing we do is we actually do exactly the...
	Think of everything Biden has done and do exactly the opposite.
	And I'm not kidding, Carl.
	I mean, we do exactly the opposite of what Biden is doing.
	You know, we don't need $4 trillion of spending right now.
	We need to be, after a crisis is over, and COVID is basically over now, thanks to Trump and the vaccine, usually after, like, World War II or after the Cold War, we actually cut spending.
	We need to be aggressively cutting government spending.
	By the way, government spending, you know this, Carl.
	Where did this crazy idea come from that government spending stimulates?
	All the government spending stimulates is government.
	Let me put it very simply, because this is really important.
	I know you know this as a businessman.
	The only way that the government can give you $1,000 is to take $1,000 away from me, right?
	It's a zero-sum game, and all we're doing is taking money away from producers and giving it to people who don't produce.
	That's that formula for disaster.
	You know what?
	It's so funny that you mention that.
	I talk about that often.
	On my show, and one of the things, it's frustrating to hear Biden talk about it, but it's even more, it's scary to me that people believe it, that there's such a lack of understanding when it comes to economics, that it completely baffles me, it completely scares me that he could say the things that he says about inflation and just completely get away with it.
	Now think about somebody like Joe Biden.
	What has Joe Biden done in his life?
	Well, he's never had a job.
	I mean, he's been in government his whole life.

	I would love to hear from you.
	I do answer my mail.
	We're discussing the question, how did left-wing ideas gain such prominence in America?
	It's a big exercise.
	It's kind of like unraveling a really tangled knot.
	Piece by piece.
	And last segment I discussed how Einstein's theory of relativity, which emerged in the 1900s, shook people's confidence in the things that they had believed to be true.
	So this is where we start to see religion become doubted.
	And how Freud's theory of the subconscious, also that emerged in the early 20th century, planted the seeds for a very damaging idea that People don't have control over their own behavior.
	That they can blame external forces, society, their parents, the way they were potty trained, for any wrongdoings or bad behavior they have.
	So now I want to discuss another development that shook up our country, and that's the presidency of Woodrow Wilson.
	And by the way, before the show, I was telling someone what I wanted to discuss today, and a person in the office said, you know, Glenn Beck really does not like Woodrow Wilson.
	And I had no idea.
	I don't listen to Glenn Beck, but for those of you who do, my observations may be similar to his.
	And everyone thinks that FDR was the first big government progressive president, but it was actually Wilson.
	And I don't think it's always fair to blame one person for something, but if there's anyone, in my view, who is the intellectual godfather of the malignant aspects of modern-day American liberalism, it's Woodrow Wilson.
	And just to give you a quick background on Wilson, he was the son of a minister.
	He went to Princeton, got his law degree, and then he got his PhD.
	So he was an academically credentialed member of the elite.
	And then he went on to become the president of Princeton University, the governor of New Jersey, as a Democrat, of course, and then the president of the United States.
	And Wilson was the first president to embody the morally superior left-wing idea that we see most Democrats adopt today, that we don't need limited government.
	And Wilson wrote many books on his political philosophies, and he argued that the separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches that the founders put in place to protect the country against selfish, tyrannical people, he thought that those things were outdated.
	And that as history progressed, human beings also progressed for the better, and that they didn't need any checks on their power.
	And so Wilson often criticized the Constitution.
	He said that it was like a straitjacket.
	And that instead, its meaning should be stretched and interpreted based on the needs of today.
	And so, last segment, when I mentioned that Einstein, Freud, and...
	Also, Darwin's scientific theories shook people's confidence in the established things that they started to believe in.
	I just started thinking, now, Wilson's theories of government epitomized that idea.
	In the early 20th century is where we really start to see a fissure between liberals and conservatives, where conservatives wanted to conserve the Constitution, conserve the principles of the American founding.
	Progressives like Wilson thought, well, maybe Maybe the confidence that we have in God or in morality or in American institutions, maybe that isn't so secure.
	Maybe we can reimagine these things.
	Who needs the Constitution?
	It's just a piece of paper.
	And what that is, that epitomizes this idea of, I know better.
	And we know today that as good as it may sound to stretch the Constitution beyond its original meaning, that sets a very dangerous precedent of people just inserting whatever they want into the document.
	I mean, that's frankly what happened with abortion.
	People wanted abortion to be legalized, so instead of the states voting on it, which is what the Constitution wants us to do, the Supreme Court just...
	Found a place for it in the Constitution.
	So, in that way, abortion was decided.
	It wasn't voted upon.
	And so, that's what Wilson did.
	Because he disliked the separation of powers, Wilson just made the presidency whatever he wanted it to be.
	And he thought that the president, as the only official elected by the whole people, voted on by the whole country, He should not just be head of the executive branch, but head of the whole government.
	So he thought that the administration should have experts and bureaucrats that make decisions.
	So in that sense, Wilson was really the founder of the deep state or the administrative state, as some people call it, that we see today.
	And during his presidency, he established things like the income tax and the Federal Reserve, which on its face were not necessarily bad things.
	But what they did is that they opened the door for LBJ and, well, before LBJ, FDR to come along and for their regulatory, bureaucratic agencies that...
	Grow and grow and grow.
	These agencies that are really immune to popular will but keep on keeping on despite what people want.
	And one modern-day example I just want to point out of this is the EPA, or the Environmental Protection Agency, which is run by these so-called experts, and they just force rules upon people to follow.
	How to use your land, how many emissions that you're allowed to produce.
	So they're allowed to have that power, even though the people didn't vote for that at all.
	And again, it was Wilson who expanded government enough to make those types of agencies possible.
	And I think the biggest example of Wilson's arrogant idea that he was above the Constitution, that he knew better than everyone else, was how he handled World War I. And he did terrible things during the war domestically.
	For example, he interned German-Americans.
	Everyone thinks that internment started with the Japanese under FDR. No, it started with Wilson and the Germans.
	He passed the Sedition Act prohibiting any anti-war speech.
	But what he really mismanaged was the peace negotiations.
	And when we get back, I will explain why that is.
	But first I want to tell you, call the show, 1-8-PRAGER-776.
	I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
	I'd love to talk about it with you.
	I'm Julie Hartman.
	this is the Dennis Prager Show trending
	now on the Mike Dellinger show and it's a he says if you want to convince people to get a vaccine writes Matt Taibbi pretty much the worst way to go about it is a massive blame campaign delivered by sneering blue noses who have a richly deserved credibility problem with large chunks of the population and now insist they're owed financially besides Thank you.
	Matt Taibbi says, I'm vaccinated.
	I think people should be vaccinated.
	But the latest moral mania we're witnessing, and make no mistake about it, he writes, the pandemic of the unvaccinated PR campaign is the latest in a ceaseless series of such manias dating back to late 2016,
	lays bare everything that's abhorrent and nonsensical in modern American I think that's such a smart reaction.
	In fact, those panelists on The Five yesterday were very wisely pointing out, Greg Gutfeld said to Geraldo, if you're trying to be persuasive, buddy, it ain't working.
	It ain't working.
	800-655-MIKE. Let's just see how persuasive...
	Geraldo Rivera was.
	Here's Chris on line one.
	Hey, Chris, did Geraldo help you make up your mind about the vaccine?
	Totally, totally.
	Now I'm really pissed off because my sister is a state worker and she doesn't want to get the vaccine, but she has to do it.
	So I was going to basically get it to help her move on, okay?

	It's time for the fearless.
	There's no time for the meek.
	This is America's moment, what's taking place in our schools, the crime in our cities, all of these things that we can see unraveling this most exceptional nation.
	It's time for the real believers and the real conservatives to step forward and be absolutely fearless in doing so.
	But I think a lot of Americans have woken up, and so we don't even know what is going on on the grassroots level because you can't keep track of everything.
	But I think people are rising.
	And they're looking for folks like you and the handful of others in Congress.
	And they're saying, we can no longer do business as usual.
	But, I mean, ten years ago, you were not thinking like this.
	No, no.
	You nailed it.
	You absolutely nailed it.
	And by the way, I can give you two data points from the last 48 hours.
	I was in southwest Missouri at the Ashcroft Family Farm.
	It was a picnic outdoor.
	Poured rain right about an hour before the picnic.
	Nobody left.
	They left.
	They gave me a chance.
	They gave former Attorney General Ashcroft a chance to talk about the Bible and America and what we were all going to go do.
	These people were on fire to take back.
	And I had people come up and say, I never thought I'd run for city council, and I'm going to do it.
	And I had a couple of law enforcement who said, you know, I didn't have any interest in actually being the sheriff, but our sheriff won't enforce the rules.
	I'm going to go do that.
	No, this is different.
	I was in Iowa at an event that was very similar to that.
	People are engaged in their civic life, in their churches.
	And they're community in ways that I have not seen.
	I've been at this now nine, ten years from the time I first lost my mind and ran for Congress when Obama was the president and we had to throw Nancy out the last time.
	Who to believe would have to throw her out of the speakership again?
	But here we are, and this is a moment where people are being tested, they're being challenged, and my observation is people are rising to that challenge.
	Keep up with what...
	It's the History Hour, everyone.
	I'm Julie Hartman in for Dennis Prager.
	I'm looking at the phone line.
	I definitely want to take some calls.
	We have a call from Tokyo, everyone, which is so cool.
	But first, I want to finish what I'm saying here about Woodrow Wilson, who was the first truly progressive president.
	In my view, nothing is a better precautionary tale of the harm of progressivism than how Wilson handled World War I. So why did President Wilson take the U.S. into World War I? History teachers often say that it was to bail out our allies, Britain and France, against Germany.
	But what I've learned is that it was really for a different reason.
	Wilson told Congress that he wanted to, quote, make the world safe for democracy.
	He wanted to secure the rights of mankind.
	And all of this sounds very good, right?
	And it seems like Wilson's entrance into World War I was selfless.
	And I'm sure that there were some good intentions behind it, of course.
	But here's why it was actually narcissistic.
	Wilson's primary motivation was to create a new world order based on his idea of how the world should work.
	And the thing that he wanted most was to establish a League of Nations, which was essentially the precursor to the United Nations.
	And he knew that the fastest way to get that done was to enter a war and to push it through in the peace negotiations.
	So Wilson does just that.
	He enters the war.
	He immediately draws up plans for peace.
	And he promises Germany that if it surrenders, he would ensure that Germany got a fair, not a punitive peace settlement.
	So Germany says, deal!
	Lays down its arms, and Wilson is seen as a hero.
	What Germany didn't anticipate, though, is that after it surrendered, Wilson then met with the British and the French, and he brokered a new deal.
	That in exchange for Britain and France agreeing to Wilson's beloved League of Nations, Wilson would allow Britain and France to punish Germany basically however they want, because both of those countries hated Germany.
	So Wilson agreed to the treaty's infamous war guilt clause, which said that all people of German nationality were collectively Guilty for all of the deaths and property damage of the war.
	And he also agreed to make Germany pay the Allies billions and billions of dollars in reparations that were so severe that they ended up decimating Germany's economy and opening the door for the rise of Hitler.
	And ready for this?
	They were so costly, I just learned this the other day, that Germany only finished paying them.
	So it was Wilson who permitted Britain and France to impose these terrible measures so that he could get what he wanted, which was the League.
	Wilson seemed to forget, though, because he didn't care about the separation of powers, that the Constitution requires him to get the Senate's approval for war treaties.
	And the Senate, I think rightfully, had concerns about the League of Nations, specifically about a provision in the League that said that the U.S. would have to intervene militarily if another member was attacked.
	And the Senate said, wait a minute, that's taking away...
	Our constitutional right to decide that.
	That is taking the power away from the people of the United States and putting it in the hands of this far-off international body.
	We don't want to do that.
	And also, this is also really interesting, there were many other people, such as John Maynard Keynes, who famously warned Wilson that Allowing reparations was a bad idea.
	And the Senate gave Wilson many opportunities to amend the treaty, but Wilson said, no.
	I want the treaty passed the exact way I want it.
	So the Senate ended up rejecting it, and the U.S. didn't even enter the league.
	The moral of the story here is that Wilson embodied the destructive left-wing idea that The leader is above the system.
	That he can remake the system however he wanted.
	And we see how it worked out for him by opening the door to yet another world war two decades later.

	That's the CDC's own data.
	That vaccinated Americans in Massachusetts, I'm just reading from the document, in Barnstable County, that the median among vaccinated, Was N equals 80?
	I'm not sure what that value represents.
	But 21.9, unvaccinated, N equals 65, 21.5.
	I'm guessing that's how many people they were testing.
	I need to go look at what the values represent.
	It says here that risk of infection, reinfection with the Delta variant may be higher, compelled to the Alpha variant.
	But only if prior infection is 180 days earlier.
	It says this, that the Delta variant may cause more severe disease than the Alpha or the ancestral strains.

	Welcome back to the History Hour, everyone.
	I'm Julie Hartman, the self-professed history nerd, 21-year-old college student.
	I'm also a history major in college.
	And I just want to zoom out for a second because that was a lot that I just talked about.
	Einstein, Freud, Darwin, Wilson, that's a lot.
	The reason why I'm talking about this again is because The 20th century alone was
	such a crazy time for the world.
	Two world wars.
	All of these different technological developments, development of the airplane, of nuclear weapons, the bomb, all of these empires are falling, Chinese empire, German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman.
	I mean, what an insane time for the world.
	Oh, I didn't even mention the Cold War and Vietnam War, Korean War.
	Communism becoming so prominent.
	So that's all to say, how could you have such a turbulent time and not have such consequential changes in social thought?
	It's very interesting.
	All right, I want to take some calls.
	Line two, David from Irvine, California.
	Hello, David.
	Oh, hi.
	Nice to talk to you, Julie.
	A couple points.
	One, I'm very impressed at how principled you are.
	I'm a libertarian objectivist.
	You are very principled.
	I like that.
	Two, I hated history until I read Guns, Terms, and Steel.
	That helped me understand the bigger principles.
	Now to some real points.
	Credo is also a protected category.
	So even if you're not religious, I'm an atheist, but your credo is in the Constitution as a protected category.
	You don't have to resort to some other tribe.
	You can just refer to your credo.
	And finally, the executive order is breaking the Constitution and it's the road to kingdom.
	And I mean, I think the Bushes started it or increased it.
	Obama increased it.
	Trump increased it.
	And now Biden's going crazy.
	So I wouldn't mind if you commented on the executive order as a...
	No, that's an excellent point.
	You're absolutely right to say that it has increased over time from president to president.
	I want to make sure I get this right, but I think during Biden's first week in office, he passed, I want to say, like 32 executive orders, definitely upwards of 20. And I remember, I think this was his first or second day in office,
	he famously passed the transgender executive order, mandating that schools that get federal funding have to allow transgender women to compete in women's sports.
	And that is an excellent...
	Oh, Sean's saying 30. Yes, okay, so I got that right.
	Yes, first week in office, Biden passes 30 executive orders.
	That transgender executive...
	Order that I just cited.
	That is an excellent example of how this power has been abused.
	That is something that the people should decide on.
	The people should vote into law, state by state.
	Why is the president all of a sudden serving alongside the legislative branch?
	It's basically, the legislative branch have been lumped into the executive branch, and you're right, David, it is a huge overreach of power.
	I thank you for bringing up that point.
	Let's go to Line 7. Matthew, Lansing, Minnesota.
	Hello, Matthew.
	Michigan, oops.
	Don't hang up on the phone on me, because don't think I'm crazy.
	I just wrote a book two years ago, and it's become world famous.
	And I have figured out what the left does.
	They put the group's power over the liberty of the individual.
	We put the liberty over the power of the state.
	They put state power over the liberty of the individual.
	And life.
	We put life first in the womb, they put power first in the womb.
	They put power first, like for example, the right to try pill that Trump passed.
	That law meant the individual could choose to try to survive with the pills that weren't really on the market.
	They denied that because they don't get any power.
	But they'll give you the suicide pill, but they won't give you the right to try pill.
	Well thank you, Matthew.
	Thank you for your call.
	You know, I think you make an excellent point that the left is really groupthink.
	What I have noticed that...
	What the left provides for people is a way for them to subcontract their thinking, to just kind of parrot what other people are saying and go along with the group.
	For instance, I was just on Instagram the other day, and obviously Larry Elder is running for governor of our state, and I saw a girl who I went to high school with posting about Larry Elder, and she said, That a zero dollar minimum wage is the right minimum wage.
	And it made me think about this point of, if you're not thinking deeply about the economics behind a minimum wage law, right?
	If you're just kind of parroting what other people are saying, if you're just looking at it on its face, it seems horrible and mean to deny people minimum wage, right?
	But, again...
	If you kind of take a step back and you look at it, the arguments are quite compelling to not have a minimum wage law.
	Because what employers do is they offset the price of having to raise their wages for their employees by raising the cost of their products or lessening the hours.
	So that's a very good point about groupthink.
	Okay, we have to do Eddie really fast.
	We only have a minute left.
	Hello, Eddie.
	Hello.
	How are you?
	I'm great, Eddie.
	Thank you.
	Hey, listen, I'll make this quick.
	First of all, I'm thrilled you showed up.
	Thank you.
	Because another voice that speaks as profoundly as you do is surely welcome.
	I understand that we're on Short Street.
	I'm 72 years old, and I have been, had my thumb on the government I had sought.
	And come to find out that the individuals like Pelosi are holding the House of Representatives hostage.
	Yes, you're right, Eddie.
	I'm sorry to cut you off.
	off.
	We'll be back, everyone, in the final hour.

	Like we're making films, but it's not cheesy.
	It's a TV program, but it's not cheesy.
	And it is an amazing thing.
	I said it before, but you guys, it's not just not cheesy.
	It's brilliant.
	And actually, in the world in which we live today, it's almost the only stuff that's happening at that level.
	I mean, there's nothing on the left that can compare to it.
	Well, I can tell you why.
	The reason there's nothing good on the left right now, and I've followed The Onion for years.
	They've been around for 20-plus years.
	They used to be very funny.
	They're less funny now, and they're less funny now for a very good reason.
	You know, the left has made all these rules about what you can and can't say.
	And they also have this idea that you can't offend anybody.
	So in enforcing these rules, they even do this on comedians.
	They try to make comedians follow rules.
	You can't say this.
	You can't say that.
	You can't joke about this.
	You can't offend this people.
	You can't punch down.
	Never punch down.
	And so they make all these rules.
	And comedians, by their nature...
	Flout rules.
	They make fun of people who make rules.
	That's what comedians are supposed to do, right?
	That's really their role in all of this.
	And so to handcuff comedians in that way, leftists are actually creating, by trying to kill comedy and strangle it, they're creating an opportunity for people on the other side of the aisle to say the things that you're not supposed to say, make the jokes you're not supposed to make.

	Yeah, thank you, sir.
	I got disconnected on my hunting expedition up here.
	What time is it there?
	It's about 2.30.
	In the morning?
	Well, I was pissed about the gymnast up there.
	She wasn't doing her tricks for me, and I thought I'd go take care of her.
	But my question is about Woke.
	I got a son.
	He's about 14.
	He's been a retard.
	And now I'm of the opinion that Rush's football was never killed.
	That he's still out there.
	All right.
	Eddie's on, and we're going to go to Eddie.
	I want him to fight my son.
	I want Rush Limbaugh to fight my son.
	Well, I guess Eddie's not there.
	Hey, the guy from Tokyo was talking about how to combat wokeism.
	I see this on the line.
	That's his question.
	It's actually very convenient that he asked that, because the third hour of the show, I'm dedicating to the topic of how to talk to your kids about conservatism.
	So hopefully that will be helpful to him and to those of you listening.
	I also want to say a quick note about PragerU.
	It is fundraising month.
	It's Dennis' birthday month, so the month of August is PragerU fundraising month.
	This was the history hour.
	And one of the reasons why I love PragerU is because they do phenomenal history videos.
	They have one on Watergate and Nixon, the evils of communism, the party switch that really didn't happen in the 60s between the Democrats and Republicans.
	Really excellent stuff.
	They truly do teach what isn't taught.
	So I just want to encourage you all to please go to PragerU.com slash donate.
	It really, as I said at the beginning of the show, it really changed my life in the way I view things.
	So I feel very strongly about PragerU.
	No one is asking me to do this ad.
	I am doing it solely because I believe so much in their message.

	In fact, the vaccinated cases were 0.4% higher.
	That's the CDC's own data.
	That vaccinated Americans in Massachusetts, I'm just reading from the document, in Barnstable County, that the median among vaccinated, Was N equals 80?
	I'm not sure what that value represents.
	But 21.9, unvaccinated, N equals 65, 21.5.
	I'm guessing that's how many people they were testing.
	I need to go look at what the values represent.
	It says here that risk of infection, reinfection with the Delta variant may be higher, compelled to the Alpha variant.
	But only if prior infection is 180 days earlier.
	It says this, that the Delta variant may cause more severe disease than the Alpha or the ancestral strains.

	Even as these education leaders refused to reopen schools to children, they now plan to use their near monopoly on education to push this highly controversial ideology.

	music Hello everyone!
	Welcome back to the third hour of the Dennis Prager Show.
	I love that Billy Joel coming in.
	Thank you, Sean.
	Cheers, Triple G. Yes, I am Julie Hartman, 21-year-old college student in For Dennis today.
	It has been such an honor and so much fun.
	Thank you all for listening.
	I'm devoting this entire hour to the subject of...
	How to talk to your kids about conservatism.
	And this is a topic that I can shed a unique light on as a young person who was once liberal myself.
	And this summer, one of my primary responsibilities in working for Dennis has been to help him sort through his mail.
	And obviously, in addition to that, I sort through my own email.
	are from those of you saying, I have a child who's become left-wing and I try to talk to them about conservatism but it doesn't seem to go through or the conversation turns hostile and I just don't want to ruin my relationship with my kid.
	And it made me think, you know, this is a very formidable obstacle that we conservatives face.
	You can have a relationship with a good, smart person who you love and care about you can have that relationship become damaged because the left has infiltrated many of our institutions and has taught people especially young people that conservatives are evil.
	But because leftism is everywhere we have to figure out for the future of our country really How to communicate our ideas well.
	And by the way, not just for the future of our country, but for the health of our relationships.
	We should not have to hide who we are because someone may not like it or may get offended.
	That is not healthy.
	So what I've done is I've identified two main ways of arguing I have here on a note that I find to be really effective.
	But before I get into that, let me just say one important guiding principle that I've observed.
	And I also just want to say, for those of you who are parents who are listening, I'm certainly not trying to tell you how to parent your kid.
	I'm just telling you if this is something that you struggle with, what I have seen work.
	In my view, the most important thing that you can do for your kid Is not to teach them what to think, but teach them how to think.
	Because if you force your values too much on your child, your child is just going to reject them because that's what kids do.
	But if you show them mainly by the power of your example, How to think rationally, independently, with common sense, I really believe that the facts will lead them to conservatism, or at the very least, it will make them question what they had previously believed.
	Okay, so with that global comment out of the way, let me tell you the two main ways of arguing that really worked for me when I was discovering conservatism.
	The first one is so important for young people.
	You have to be able to show that the conservative position is a compassionate position.
	We have to be honest that the left has won the emotional argument and we need to start winning it.
	They peddle this narrative.
	I see this all the time with people my age.
	They peddle this narrative that if you're liberal, you're compassionate, and you care about the underdog and the victim, but if you're conservative, you have this cold and callously practical way of viewing the world.
	So it is really effective, especially for young people, to show that opposing things like illegal immigration or opposing a lot of the proposed police reforms in the past year, things that on its face may seem harsh, opposing those are actually the most compassionate things that you could do for your fellow citizens.
	So say to them, for instance, I want to take immigration because I know a lot of young people think about that and it means a lot to them.
	Say to whoever you're talking to, look, the situation at the border, these immigrants coming to the United States for a better life, that is phenomenally heartbreaking and I want to find a way to help them.
	But in this country, we have a lot of low-income, Low-skilled, low-educated workers, many of whom, by the way, are minorities themselves, are foreign-born, who are suffering because companies won't hire them, because instead they hire really cheap immigrant labor.
	So if we force companies to stop hiring illegal immigrants, They no longer can get away with practicing those dirty things, and they'll have to actually start paying people fair salaries.
	And isn't that what we want?
	Don't we want people to have a living wage?
	So if you approach the argument like that, they may not agree with you, but what it shows is that you aren't a bigot.
	It shows that you can have a compassionate, Principled approach to this position.
	And another powerful way to frame the compassion point is to ask people questions about their own lives.
	Because it's one thing for the left to talk about issues when it's far off and it seems cool and woke to support them, but it's a whole different story when it affects you.
	You really find out if your position is compassionate when you ask yourself if you would do it.
	So, for instance, say to your child, okay, so you want to defund the police.
	Let's say an aggressive, troubled, homeless person was trying to bang down our door right now.
	Are you prepared to call a mental health professional instead of 911?
	Like, is that something that you would really do?
	And is that something that makes sense to expect other people to do?
	Because what you want to show is that the epitome of being uncompassionate is to heckle others to live by standards that you don't feel comfortable living by yourself.
	Okay, so that is showing that conservatism is compassionate.
	The second thing that was huge for me when I was leaving the left, or when I left the left, was when people would spew really important, accurate facts that are not reported.
	It is so true what Dennis says all the time that kids are not learning.
	Things that seem intuitive to us, kids are not learning in schools or in the media.
	So we conservatives kind of have a responsibility to know those things cold and to share them.
	So for instance, it was mind-blowing to me, I remember, when I learned, talking about immigration, That the U.S. has the most generous immigration policy of any country on Earth.
	20% of people in the U.S., that's around 45 million people, are foreign-born.
	And on top of that, we naturalize a million citizens a year.
	So I would bring that up to whoever you're talking to, and I would say, do you think it's our responsibility to take everyone?
	Shouldn't other countries have to?
	Bear their fair share of immigrants coming in?
	And a lot of people will respond and say, well, it's so mean and so bigoted and so xenophobic to build the border wall.
	And I would respond, did you know that before supporting illegal immigration was woke, Senators Clinton, Schumer, and then Senator Obama actually voted for a border wall in 2006?
	It's what I said earlier.
	If you teach your kids how to seek the truth, the facts will lead them towards conservatism.
	Or at the very least, it will make them skeptical of the other side.
	And by the way, this is an important point.
	When you're spewing these facts, I think it's really important to include nuance.
	The left is really dogmatic.
	And one of the things that I was pleasantly surprised to find when I became a conservative is that people are so nuanced and decent, and let's show that side.
	I remember when I first discovered Dennis, I was hesitant to like him because I was a little bit put off by his positions on gay marriage, because I support gay marriage.
	But then I remember he did an interview with Dave Rubin, and he said, I acknowledge that historically, there have been some conservatives who have opposed gay marriage solely because they have contempt for gays.
	And I just want you to know, Dave, I regret that that's the case, and that's not my reason for opposing it.
	And you know what?
	Even though I didn't agree with him, I thought, this guy is a class act.
	We'll be back.
	We'll be back.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	And the whole point of it was to do comedy from a Christian conservative perspective that That didn't make us the joke.
	Isn't it funny that we always have to start there?
	It's really brilliant, but it's not cheesy.
	Like we're making films, but it's not cheesy.
	It's a TV program, but it's not cheesy.
	And it is an amazing thing.
	I said it before, but you guys, it's not just not cheesy.
	It's brilliant.
	And actually, in the world in which we live today, it's almost the only stuff that's happening at that level.
	I mean, there's nothing on the left that can compare to it.
	Well, I can tell you why.
	The reason there's nothing good on the left right now, and I've followed The Onion for years.
	They've been around for 20-plus years.
	They used to be very funny.
	They're less funny now, and they're less funny now for a very good reason.
	You know, the left has made all these rules about what you can and can't say.
	And they also have this idea that you can't offend anybody.
	So in enforcing these rules, they even do this on comedians.
	They try to make comedians follow rules.
	You can't say this.
	You can't say that.
	You can't joke about this.
	You can't offend this people.
	You can't punch down.
	Never punch down.
	And so they make all these rules.
	And comedians, by their nature...
	Flout rules, they make fun of people who make rules.
	That's what comedians are supposed to do, right?
	That's really their role in all of this.
	And so to handcuff comedians in that way, leftists are actually created, by trying to kill comedy and strangle it, they're creating an opportunity for people on the other side of the aisle to say the things that you're not supposed to say, make the jokes you're not supposed to make.
	It's fascinating to me to see people who might previously have identified as on the left or something.

	Hello, everyone.
	I'm Julie Hartman.
	This is the Dennis Prager Show.
	I want to encourage you to call in at 1-8-PRAGER-776.
	The next half hour, I want to take phone calls.
	I'm discussing how to talk to your kids, your friends, your relatives, anyone really, about conservatism.
	And last segment, I outlined two main arguments that I found to be effective as I was discovering, if you will, conservatism myself.
	The first one is showing that conservatism is compassionate.
	And the second is always providing facts with nuance.
	So now I'm going to pick one of the biggest hot button issues for liberals, and that is abortion.
	And demonstrate how I would apply those two arguments in a conversation about it.
	So first, showing that the conservative position is a compassionate one.
	I would start off by acknowledging what the person is thinking and go, look, I'm sure that you think that people who oppose abortion are mean because they prevent a woman from making choices about her body or they force her to do something that she may not want to do.
	But then I would say, look, let's actually look at the advocates for the pro-life position.
	Their animating feature is to protect life.
	In that way, the pro-life position is actually more about autonomy than control.
	It's about the autonomy of the baby, their right to live.
	And that's why the position is called pro-life, not...
	Pro-control or pro-oppress women.
	And I would also say to whoever I'm talking to, look, you and I both care about equal opportunity.
	And we think that everyone deserves a fair shot in life.
	And that's what pro-lifers want to do.
	They want to protect that child, which is a victim and is voiceless and defenseless to defend himself or herself.
	So whether or not you agree, That's a very compassionate, noble position to take.
	And by the way, it's supposedly a very liberal position to take, right?
	With equality of opportunity.
	So pro-lifers, at the very least, should be respected, not maligned.
	I think also, and I said last segment, it's important to relate it to them.
	Kind of diving into arguments for and against abortion, there was a quote by Ronald Reagan that completely blew my mind.
	And he said, isn't it ironic that everyone who is for abortion themselves have already been born?
	I mean, what a lightning bolt.
	Think about that for a second.
	And I would say to who I'm talking to, You were here advocating for abortion, and you yourself have not been aborted.
	You benefited from someone who valued your life, who fought for you when you couldn't fight for yourself.
	So that's how you show that the pro-life position is a compassionate one.
	The second thing I brought up is to bring up accurate but unreported And there's a really good one for the pro-life argument, and that is Margaret Sanger.
	Many abortion advocates don't know, because the media loves to hide this, that Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was in fact a staunch eugenicist who wanted to use abortion and contraception to weed out, as she put it, undesirable people such as the poor, disabled, and minorities.
	I actually found this out pretty late.
	Dennis told me about it only a few months ago, and I was so fascinated by it that I actually wrote my main term paper this past semester on Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood and their eugenic history.
	And what I learned is that Sanger actually was the one who coined the term birth control in the 1910s, and she meant it to quite literally control who was birthed.
	So you have to say, look, no wonder there are so many people who oppose abortion with that history.
	And by the way, the primary group who has suffered the most as a result of abortion has been the black community.
	Since 1973, when Roe was decided, 19 million black babies have been aborted.
	So again, it's powerful to relate it kind of back to liberal positions.
	So say to whoever you're talking to, if you believe the notion that black lives matter, maybe you want to reconsider your idea that pro-lifers are mean and bigoted.
	Oh, and you know what another great thing to bring up to a left-wing person who thinks that pro-lifers are evil?
	Say to them, you know, A lot of the people who you think of as white supremacists, aka conservative Trump voters, are pro-life, right?
	They hate abortion.
	So let's consider this.
	Given that abortion disproportionately affects black people, wouldn't these pro-life conservatives, these so-called white supremacist neo-Nazis, wouldn't they want abortion?
	Because if you want a white country, you would want as many abortions as possible.
	Because abortions, tragically, have the result of slowing the black birth rate the most.
	So, say to the person, square this circle for me.
	How is it that it's the so-called white supremacists who want to ban abortion?
	This is hearkening back to...
	What I would say is kind of my thesis statement of the hour.
	And this is another example of how the liberal view of the world just doesn't really add up or make sense if you look at it rationally.
	So if you show them, whoever you're talking to, how to seek the truth, it will lead them towards conservatism or make them question their position.
	And relatedly, I also talked about the importance of showing nuance.
	And, of course, there are great arguments to be made.
	It's tricky.
	And I would say to my child, look, I get it.
	It's a woman's body.
	And I get this impulse that we don't want to control her own decisions.
	And similarly, I also understand the argument that if someone becomes pregnant, they have a responsibility to make sure that whoever they're bringing into the world is going to be born into a good home.
	If you say that, I promise you, it will give you credibility in the eyes of whoever you're talking to, even if that person won't admit it.
	So I think the takeaway from this is I always ask myself after these talks, I don't ask myself, did I succeed at making this person pro-life?
	Instead, I ask myself, did I succeed at making this person see that the pro-life stance isn't bigoted?
	Because I'm still torn about abortion myself, but what pulled me out of my leftist idea that pro-lifers were mean were these arguments that I just presented.
	We'll be back.
	We're going to take calls.
	1-8 Prager 776. And if you work in a good restaurant,
	they make great money.
	It's not something to be embarrassed about.
	It's not something to be ashamed about.
	But this is what the left does.
	I'm telling you, we're dealing with elites in the White House now.
	We're dealing with people, a lot of people that haven't had to get their hands dirty, that look down upon other Americans.
	As a matter of fact, and I'll get to this as well, rural Democrats are too scared to mention their party affiliation.
	And they're too scared to mention their party affiliation because you have elites like Joe Biden who just cut this man down.
	This man, God knows how many people this particular gentleman employs.
	How many jobs that restaurant creates for people.
	And restaurants operate on extremely thin margins.
	For those of you that don't know, it is extremely hard.
	To make a restaurant successful.
	So Joe Biden said, you know what?
	That American dream, that stinks.
	So people are leaving.
	They're going to look for better things.
	They're going to look for better opportunities.
	They're going to look for better pay.
	Hey, why don't you pay your people more?
	Basically, that's what he was.
	Well, actually, that's what he said.
	What you have is a president that's not even empathetic.
	A president that doesn't care about the little man.
	A president.
	That's, you know, hey, I'm just an elite.
	You're just a peon.

	We've had 11 homicides in the last 13 days, but zero deaths with COVID.
	Maybe they should ban homicides, Phil.
	Yeah, right, well.
	Or at least maybe have a little bit more vigorous enforcement of the existing laws against them.
	But look, I mean, it's just this...
	It's completely bizarre.
	You know, I looked up the most recent percentage of emergency room visits they post every couple of days that had COVID in the District of Columbia, and it was 0.25%, which has got to be like one person, basically, that showed up at an emergency room.
	And, you know, but the CDC says mask.
	The Democratic mayor says absolutely.
	We're on board.
	A couple days later, it comes into effect.
	And, you know, just I expect.
	Other liberal areas will follow suit, because there doesn't need to be any basis in the metrics of the data or the facts of the science.
	So let's talk about this for a second.
	So can you confirm or deny, or do you have any other visibility, that apparently this insane reversal, we've been told by Biden, by Fauci, if you're vaccinated, you don't need a mask, now you do, perhaps for the rest of eternity, that this decision is based apparently on an unpublished, unpeer-reviewed publication from India about a vaccine that you can't even get here in America.
	Yeah, and it's actually even better than that because they didn't even understand the study.
	because in the CDC slide deck, they refer to it as a study in health care professionals when in fact it was a study in simulated.
	Music

	Julie Hartman here.
	Please call the show, 1-8-PRAGER-776.
	I see that the caller board is lighting up, and I'm going to take your calls.
	But, you know, I was thinking during the commercial break, I'm here talking about all the serious ways that you can communicate effectively with your kids or your friends or whoever you're talking to about conservatism, but sometimes Sometimes the best thing that you can do is incorporate some levity.
	And I have a pretty funny story about how to do that.
	So I was talking to some of my friends recently, and they were saying that they're in favor of tearing down statues of people who they think were morally reprehensible, like Washington or Jefferson.
	And I said to them, I was trying to impart the point that we have to judge people based on the context of their time.
	And it just wasn't really getting through to them.
	So I decided to tell the story about my uncle, who is an older gentleman.
	He's in his late 60s, and he's very involved with the college that he went to.
	And he gets newsletters, and he loves telling people whatever's going on at that.
	That university.
	And so one day at dinner, he sits with us and he says, guys, my college is opening a $50 million queer resource center.
	And all of us kind of nod and we're like, oh, okay, you know, that's cool.
	And I said, well, Harvard has a queer resource center and I know a lot of other, many, I would even say most schools have a queer resource center.
	And my uncle completely with a straight face goes, Wow!
	That's incredible!
	Those queers must be a very prominent, wealthy family in order to donate so many resource centers!
	Thank you, Sean.
	And we're all kind of sitting there going, is he kidding?
	And then we realized he thought that queer was a last name of a family who donated.
	He didn't understand that it was referring to an LGBTQ resource center.
	So, you know, we pick ourselves off the floor laughing and we explain it to him.
	And his response was, God, that's shocking that they refer to it as a queer resource center.
	Because back in my day, queer was a derogatory term.
	So anyways, sometimes, again, I think the point got across to my friends that you have to judge people based on the context of their time.
	Am I going to cancel my 67-year-old uncle for saying that?
	Of course not.
	You're just going to laugh it off.
	So yes, sometimes imparting very serious points requires a bit of levity.
	All right, let's take a call.
	How about Elizabeth, line 4?
	Hi, Elizabeth.
	Oh, hi, Julie.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	You know, I'm so inspired to hear you because I also was a Republican woman in college 30-plus years ago.
	And to be honest, it was hard then.
	I sort of stood out and was vilified.
	But it is nothing like being a Republican or conservative on campus now.
	And my question is, what advice...
	Would you give to young people who are on progressive, liberal college campuses at this time, and how can they sort of navigate that world in the beautiful way that you seem to be doing?
	Well, thank you, Elizabeth, for saying that, and thank you for your call.
	How interesting that it was hard for you even 30 years ago.
	That's not really shocking to me, and you're right that it is especially hard now.
	As corny as it sounds, my advice that I would give to people is the most powerful thing that you can do for others is to set an example.
	And I would say be open about your beliefs as much as you feel comfortable.
	Because people will take note.
	You will be influencing people who will never admit that they're being influenced by you.
	And that's what I'm trying to do.
	I am trying to be open with my views.
	And let me tell you, I have a lot of people in college who reach out to me and they say, you know what, Julie?
	Go you.
	I could never do that because the cost is too high, but I agree with you.
	So you really start influencing others when you take a stand and you lead by example.
	I appreciate that call.
	I don't know if we have time in the rest of this segment to take another call, but next time we're going to take Dan, a 15-year-old in New York City.
	I'm very eager to take your call, Dan.

	The combination of closures and radical agendas have handed Republicans their best opening in decades.
	With parents under attack by the education establishment, now is the time to demand comprehensive school choice.
	The choice between liberty and bureaucratic domination over children is now crystal clear in all demographics and areas.
	The GOP needs to wake up to this golden opportunity.
	i'm ed morris house house for the air the taxes suddenly people wake up i never thought it would get this bad this quickly but it seems that it is taken the madness most americans if they can finally focus they just look up and say wait a minute you're you're you're telling me the people burning down buildings aren't doing anything wrong
	They're peaceful protesters.
	In other words, your average American who doesn't have a voice the way you do or I do looks around and says, this has gone too far.
	Madness has been unleashed on the land.
	I need to do something for my kids, for my grandkids.
	I thought freedom was a free ride, and I realize now, nope, I'm going to have to pick up my gun and go to the front lines.
	Maybe not literally.
	But it's a similar thing.
	You realize that everything you held near and dear is being threatened directly.
	And when your kids are being threatened, you don't care.
	You're just going to do whatever it takes.
	It's about the kids.
	You know the instinct.
	You know what the Lord teaches us about parenting.
	These parents aren't about to take this.
	They're not about to allow this to happen in their schools.
	They may not have seen it because they worked.
	But, you know, I think the combination of having their kids at home during COVID, I think the left's movement, I think the idea somehow that our country was ill-founded, the 1619 Project, this idea that we're racist because we're white, this is something parents are not going to sit back and allow to be propagated.
	And so it'll take a little time to regain control of these city councils, of these school boards, of these state boards or regions that have allowed our university system to become, right?
	These are American universities.
	Today, they're largely not American and, frankly, not the kind of university I think people are going to take this all back and what they need is good leaders who are fearless helping them figure out where to apply their shoulder to the grindstone.
	We know choices matter.

	And if you work in a good restaurant, they make great money.
	It's not something to be embarrassed about.
	It's not something to be ashamed about.
	But this is what the left does.
	I'm telling you, we're dealing with elites in the White House now.
	We're dealing with people, a lot of people that haven't had to get their hands dirty, that look down upon other Americans.
	As a matter of fact, and I'll get to this as well, rural Democrats are too scared to mention their party affiliation.
	And they're too scared to mention their party affiliation because you have elites like Joe Biden who just cut this man down.
	This man, God knows how many people this particular gentleman employed.
	We'll be right back.
	It's the Dennis Prager Show, everyone.
	Dennis just mentioned Sierra Pacific Mortgage and I want to spend a little time talking to you.
	As we all know, the coronavirus has made financial markets unpredictable and it has not been a smooth ride for mortgage rates.
	Andrew and Todd are here to help you manage market volatility and help get you into a better financial situation.
	Many major banks and lenders are pushing back on purchase loans and suspending refi applications entirely, but not Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
	They are ready to advise you on what's best for your situation.
	The decline in rates is fueling a boom in refinancing.
	If you are considering a refi, a new purchase, a cash-out refi, or a reverse mortgage, don't wait on the sidelines.
	Rates are volatile and there is no guarantee that they will drop further.
	Go to andrewandtodd.com today or call Andrew and Todd at 888-888-1172.
	Or again, go to andrewandtodd.com.
	Danny in New York City, age 15. Hello, Danny.
	Hi, Julie.
	Can you hear me okay?
	I can hear you perfectly.
	Well, actually, now I can't.
	The connection seemed to have just dropped, Danny.
	Are you still there?
	Unfortunately, it seems that we've lost him.
	I'm hoping that he will call back.
	I'd love to take your call, Danny.
	Why don't we go to line 8, Heidi from Columbus, Ohio.
	Ohio.
	Hi, Heidi.
	Oh, gosh.
	That's JR. Shows my eyesight.
	Sorry, JR. You're not Heidi.
	My bad.
	Don't worry.
	So sorry.
	It's blurry screen.
	You're fine.
	So you've got some kids.
	If you give me a green light here, I'll start talking.
	Please do.
	Yes, you have a 17 and a 19-year-old I'm reading.
	Me?
	J.R.? Yes, it says you have a 17- and 19-year-old.
	I'm 54. I am 54 from Columbus, Ohio, but I'm moving to Nashville.
	No, I'm not 17. No, no, you have a 17-year-old kid and a 19-year-old.
	Oh, my God.
	Oh, sweetie.
	I'm so sorry.
	I'm so sorry.
	Okay, so here it is.
	I had a wonderful father, and I have a wonderful mother.
	And Dad was military, and with love and discipline and structure, he taught me things that I didn't even know I was learning.
	Now, what I did when my kids were born is, as they got older, with love and structure, explained to them when they got home from school, because I was very adamant about reading their homework.
	And it was what you would expect, and we're actually in a pretty nice district.
	But it doesn't matter.
	It's such an infection in the school districts.
	And I would have to reteach them almost weekly what they were learning.
	Do you show them PragerU videos, JR? Do you show them PragerU?
	Yes.
	Good.
	Yes, I have.
	And my son, his favorite one is the Venezuelan one.
	Oh, that's a great one.
	I've watched it three times personally.
	And I go, Trevor, if you...
	See, I should have been a history major, but I wasn't.
	But that's my favorite thing.
	I know for a fact they're not teaching history in school, and that is a large component to all these...
	You're right, JR....nuckleheads on college campuses.
	They're not.
	And they're...
	No, they're not teaching history.
	And you know what they're also not teaching, JR? They're not teaching what's good about America.
	They're not teaching what's unique about the American value system.
	One of the things that I learned when I first discovered Dennis was something called the American Trinity, the American value system, which is, in God we trust.
	Liberty and E Pluribus Unum.
	And one of the remarkable things that Dennis taught me, in addition to the superiority, how great those three things are, is he pointed out...
	How is it the case that things that are good for America are bad for the left?
	Or rather, are bad for America are good for the left?
	And let's look at those three values.
	E pluribus unum, right?
	It's bad for the left if we all see each other as sharing a common American identity.
	They want multiculturalism.
	They want to foment resentment and divide people along racial lines so that they can be seen as the saviors, okay?
	Let's look at liberty.
	The less liberty we have, it's better for those on the left because it means that they can impose big government on us.
	The more liberty we have, the less their influence is.
	And in God we trust.
	This nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian values.
	And the left tries to make us all secular because, as Dennis says, when you take religion away, it's not that you believe in nothing, it's that you believe in anything.
	And they can make us believe whatever they want.
	Alright, let's go to line two.
	It also looks like Heidi.
	I can't read the name.
	I'm so sorry.
	Randall.
	Randall.
	Hello, Randall.
	Hi.
	I hope you can hear me.
	I'm calling from the forest right now.
	Oh, okay.
	Hi, Randall.
	I can hear you.
	Okay, great.
	Yeah, I'm in the forest.
	I used to be a professional.
	Owl egg enthusiast, and now I'm just an amateur owl egg enthusiast.
	But, yeah, I wanted to talk about, I'm 21 years old, I have a wife, and, you know, just the liberal idea is kind of not only coming into my personal life with my wife, you know, she's currently pregnant, but, you know, the feminism thing has kind of run out of control.
	She's 13 months pregnant, kind of refusing to give birth to my snoop.
	Wow, I imagine that that was a prank call.
	To my knowledge, you cannot be 13 months pregnant.
	That was kind of a giveaway for me.
	Okay, let's go to line five.
	Greg in Detroit.
	Hello, Greg.
	Julie, thanks for taking the call.
	You're doing a great job.
	A star is born.
	I'll see you on some Fox Network show.
	Oh, thank you, Greg.
	No, seriously.
	I have a son who is...
	Older than you, almost 25, he passed away of opioids.
	And we got something done on that when my wife ran for Congress.
	And back then, in 2018, we got it in the State of the Union, actually.
	There were 70,000 kids dying of opioid overdoses.
	Now it's 90,000.
	And Larry's going to run, in your state, the border state.
	I believe this issue is something he can really put his foot down on the gas pedal on.
	Lead America, kind of like Ron DeSantis is.
	He needs to call out the church vote.
	And I just wanted to offer GodClick.com as the church vote for Larry.
	He has everybody who went to church in California in the last three years.
	And they can rise up because the godless alt-left is at their hill killing seal.
	Would you not agree?
	Well, thank you for your call, Greg.
	I'm so sorry to hear about your sister.
	We'll be back.
	Universal masking is going to be mandatory for source control and prevention.
	But most amazingly in the new CDC leaked documents that we have here on our program is that they model the vaccine only being 75 to 85 percent effective.
	That's their own internal modeling.
	Is that a vaccine or is that a therapeutic?
	Have you ever heard of a vaccine only being 75% or 85% effective?
	That's their own modeling.
	That's their own assumptions.
	And it says here, given higher transmissibility and current vaccine coverage, universal masking is essential to reduce transmission of the dental variant.
	Basically, they're saying, look, you want to talk about people who are sowing vaccine hesitancy?
	You want to talk about people that are sowing discord and losing trust in the vaccine?
	It's the Center for Disease Control.
	Joe Biden and the federal government is now running interference at a very aggressive pace.
	Cut 89. Joe Biden says, at my direction, all federal personnel and visitors to federal buildings will have to do the same.
	Cut 89. Who live in areas with substantial or high cases rates will follow the mask guidance that's being laid down by the CDC. And in my decision, in my direction, all federal personnel and visitors to federal buildings will have to do the same thing.
	Every single building.
	Alan Dershowitz, a man I have a lot of respect for, is just so wrong on this, it's hard to even put into words.
	Cut 91 Alan Dershowitz says and I'd love to have him on our podcast and describe this because he's a civil liberty guy.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berka.
	We have vaccine mandates for federal workers.
	Nancy Pelosi says masks are back.
	You're going to be arrested if you don't wear them in Congress.
	When is this going to end, Phil?
	You know, I don't know what's going to end.
	We've got the NASA mandatory again in Washington, D.C. as of 5 a.m. tomorrow morning.
	Music You mentioned your son.
	And at the end of the call, I said, I'm so sorry to hear about your sister.
	I apologize for that, Greg.
	I meant to say your son, and I certainly am very sorry to hear about his problems with opioids.
	And you're right.
	Hopefully Larry Elder can solve some of those issues.
	Everyone, go to electelder.com to support Larry.
	We don't have much time, but I want to take line two.
	Chris in Greenwood.
	Hello, Chris.
	Ms. Julie, how are you?
	I'm great, Chris.
	Thank you.
	I just wanted to say I really enjoyed you hosting the show today.
	Oh, thank you.
	I've enjoyed every time that Dennis has had you on.
	I would just give a thumbs up, five stars, and tell Dennis to just...
	Have you cover for him anytime he's not going to be on.
	I really enjoy it.
	Oh, Chris, thank you.
	That's so kind of you to say.
	Hey, from your lips to God's ears, I would love a career in radio, and Dennis has been so generous with having me on.
	And Chris, you've reminded me, I want to say a big thank you to people like you, all of you for listening.
	And there have been so many of you who have written to me on my website, julie-hartman.com, with the most gracious messages, seriously, I've ever read.
	And I just want to tell you, it's not easy doing this sometimes.
	I don't know what it's going to be like for me when I go back to campus.
	But people like you give me strength.
	And notes like that give me strength.
	So thank you.
	I also want to say thank you to Triple G, Sean, our technical director, who's been giving me all the cues here, and thanks for letting me sit in your office and bother you for the past few weeks.
	I've run so many ideas by him with what I would want to do.
	And I want to thank Linda, our call screener, and Christian, our video guy, and everyone in this office.
	They also have been so nice to me, and I would not have been able, truly I would not have been able to do this show without them.
	And certainly, I owe the biggest thank you to Dennis Prager.
	Dennis, thank you for trusting me with the show.
	I don't know if you're still listening from Prague or Hungary or wherever you are, but I just want to tell you that I love you.
	You have changed my life, and I can never repay you and Sue and your family for all that you've done for me.
	To those of you listening, I want to read a Ben Shapiro quote.
	I mentioned I read his book recently.
	He has this quote at the end.
	It says, bravery draws followers.
	Honesty draws admirers.
	That's what I've tried to do today.
	And I have learned from the example of so many people who do that.
	So please, everyone, I know it's hard, but keep fighting the good fight.
	You are influencing so many people.
	You are doing good work.
	And I am right there with you.
	It has been such an honor guest hosting today, everyone.
	Thank you.
	This is The Dennis Prager Show.
