	Thank you.
	The CEO of Tyson Chicken said, and I quote, he said, we've seen unprecedented and accelerating inflation, and we're trying to catch up.
	We're trying to catch up with that.
	They can't even catch up with how fast inflation is occurring.
	That means we're going to pay for it.
	Thanks, Joe Biden.

	Trending now on the Charlie Kirk show.
	So you were just in Hungary, according to the activist press, you were contributing to the downfall of Western civilization or whatever in a country of 10 million people that secures Tell us about how all that kind of came to be.
	As a father of four children, I'm very familiar with lying because kids lie.
	And when kids lie, they lie in a recognizable way.
	They tell you.
	A version of the story that's, say, 15 or 20 degrees off the truth.
	Like, did you eat the Oreos?
	I just had one.
	No, you had six.
	Oh, I had two.
	Right?
	So that's how conventional people lie.
	Totalitarians lie in a very different way.
	They tell you the inverse of the truth, 180 degrees.
	You ate the cookies.
	and then they arrest you for eating the cookies.
	I have campaign expenditure limitations Gavin Newsom does not.
	He can raise and spend...
	An unlimited amount of money.
	And shortly after it was obvious I was going to get into the race, the union, SEIU union, gave him $5 million for the anti-recall side.
	And just a couple of days ago, the teachers union, the largest funder of his campaign, gave him an additional $1.8 million.
	It is estimated he's going to raise a minimum of $50 million, maybe as much as $75 million to defeat you.
	You were praising my courage.
	Let me just say something about that.
	I get that a lot, and I have to push back because I'm not storming the beaches of Normandy.
	Unlike my father, I was never a Marine.
	Unlike my older brother, I was never a member of the Navy.
	Like my little brother, I was never a member of the Army.
	I did not serve.
	And about all the things I've ever done in my life, that's probably the thing that I regret the most.
	That I didn't give back a few years to my country.
	So this is a small sacrifice.
	I'm losing a little bit of money, well, actually a lot of money compared to my net worth.
	And of course, nobody's lived a pure life and anything and everything I've ever done will be exposed and will be twisted.
	And I know that I'll be assuming that.
	But this is a small price to pay for a country that I love so much and for a state that I love so much.
	You know, that's why you are who you are.
	You have perspective.
	You're talking about your father.
	You've been on this program before talking about your father.
	And when you've lived that kind of a life and you see what real sacrifice looks like, it's natural for you to do things that other people say, well, that's brave or that's heroic.
	You just think, well, what are you talking about?
	This is basic stuff.
	I've been living in a country that allowed me to succeed and to say what I want.
	How can I not fight for that?
	And again, I think sometimes things have to get very bad before people finally wake up.

	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt show. .
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager.
	There is no pre-recorded material.
	I am live the entire time.
	The announcement is moronic.
	Okay, I got that out of my system, and now we continue.
	That is all done to avoid FCC persecuting conservative radio, by the way.
	That's what I learned.
	And there is truth that they would love to shut down talk radio, but nevertheless, it's a moronic announcement.
	Okay, welcome to the show.
	I've got...
	Too much to talk to you about.
	It's a problem.
	Three hours is not sufficient.
	Everybody understands that Joe Biden ruined the exit from Afghanistan.
	I mean, just leaving so many people there before you leave, leaving all the equipment there before you leave.
	There was a debate I had with my producer prior to coming on just now.
	I said that either of my children could have done better, and then he said, your grandchildren, who are 10 and 5. It's hard to imagine.
	I think the 10-year-old could have managed it better.
	However, I do want to say something.
	I was listening to Tucker Carlson, from I have great respect, and he had, what is the woman's name again?
	Lara Logan.
	Lara Logan.
	For whom I also have great respect.
	And she was on and she was saying, opposing the way in which we exited or are exiting Afghanistan does not mean that one opposes exiting Afghanistan.
	They're two separate issues.
	Well, they are.
	They are two separate issues.
	However, I would like my fellow conservatives...
	The majority of whom wanted to leave Afghanistan?
	To be as intellectually honest as I demand, the left is.
	You must say, I am for the Taliban taking over Afghanistan.
	If you do not say that, you are a conservative who is not being honest.
	You cannot say, I am for leaving Afghanistan, but I am against the Taliban taking over Afghanistan.
	Then you are deluding yourself, and a conservative should never do that.
	That should be the monopoly of the left.
	It's equivalent to men give birth.
	Okay?
	To deny that the Taliban, that you are giving Afghanistan over to the Taliban if you leave.
	I wrote about this months ago, obviously to no avail, but nevertheless, I did.
	So you must be honest.
	You are for the Taliban taking over Afghanistan if you support leaving Afghanistan.
	Alright?
	Then you're intellectually honest.
	And then I have no problem.
	I mean, I differ with you, but I respect the fact that you're not fooling yourself.
	That's the worst thing you can do.
	I am not for the Taliban taking over Afghanistan.
	And at the relatively minimal price of 2,500 to 3,500 American troops there with NATO troops there and things being pretty calm, I was totally prepared to stay there another 20 years.
	That is correct.
	Because between staying there 20 more years and the Taliban taking over Afghanistan and the massive victory...
	Against America that that would entail by Islamic terror?
	There is no comparison in the price paid.
	So I was 100% non-ambivalently opposed to leaving Afghanistan.
	So there are two separate issues.
	Should we leave?
	They are most conservatives.
	In an act of very odd calculations, or for the Taliban taking over, you can't, as I said, you can't say I'm for leaving and I'm opposed to the Taliban taking over Afghanistan.
	Then you've entered the men-give-birth arena.
	But Joe Biden ruined it, as Victor Davis Hanson points out, and I will get to that.
	Today or tomorrow or the next day or the next day, but I will get to it.
	Everything Joe Biden touches, he ruins.
	And there's a reason, because he's a leftist.
	Is he a leftist in his heart?
	His heart has no convictions.
	The only conviction his heart has is, how do I further Joe Biden's career and enrich my family?
	Those are the two paramount concerns in Joe Biden's life, and always have been.
	In terms of dedication to helping America, there's no comparison between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
	Donald Trump really, really, really wanted to help America.
	Joe Biden does not.
	Okay.
	That's Biden, and that's Afghanistan, and that's the conservatives.
	Now Biden...
	Which we would not have if we had a Republican president.
	Yes, every one of you businesses in America, you must not allow people who are not vaccinated, even if they've had COVID, and are probably in a better medical position not to transmit or get the disease.
	Everybody has to get a vaccination.
	We've been lying to you, we on the left.
	Since Roe v.
	Wade, the government should not interfere with our bodies.
	It has been a total lie on the part of the left.
	It was a bull-ass excuse to defend abortion at any time of pregnancy.
	Nothing they say they mean.
	It is what is said by the left is said in order to further their agenda.
	Whatever the agenda might be.
	They do not believe people are in control of their bodies.
	But in the name of safety, you can force people to do that.
	Canada, you can't even fly if you didn't get inoculated.
	Canada is not a free country.
	Canada does not have free speech.
	Canada does not have free ability to even travel.
	Canada is not a free country.
	If Freedom House is at all honest, it should rate Canada as partially free.
	It should not be listed under free countries.
	New Zealand should be listed under unfree country.
	You have that New Zealand Prime Minister there, Sean?
	Only things that the government says are true?
	It's one of the Hall of Fame lines that we've picked up.
	In the recent past.
	only if the only the only thing you can trust okay that's it now No, no, no.
	Single source of truth.
	That's where it should end.
	We are your single source of truth.
	There you go.
	Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth.
	The ease with which the English-speaking world has enabled...
	Authoritarianism to take over their countries is breathtaking.
	The decline of the West is so dramatic, it's not even gradual.
	It's just over a cliff.
	One day there's Western liberty, the next day there's no Western liberty.
	Unless you hear it from us, it is not true.
	The Ministry of Truth has spoken.
	George Orwell is our prophet.
	And half of America is okay with it too.
	Mandates.
	Yes, mandates.
	Fellow American cannot enter a store unless they've been vaccinated.
	That's right.
	You're killing people.
	I thought the vaccine protected you.
	So who are we killing?
	Other non-vaccinated people?
	We deserve to die.
	Okay, we'll take the gamble.
	I'm on ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, and zinc.
	And since it's a blood clotting problem in the great majority of cases, you should all be taking a baby aspirin.
	We should have worked on therapeutics.
	Rather than vaccination the entire time.
	How many boosters will you need, folks, of a brand new ideology?
	Oh, and the FDA approved it in record time.
	You think that was politically motivated or scientifically motivated?
	The Dennis Perish.
	Live from the relief factor pain freeze to you.
	We'll be right back.
	get back to normal.
	This Salem radio station has been fighting right alongside you.
	Now we're You're back.
	It feels so good to be back.
	Welcome back to the real world.
	Thank you.
	On top of the collapse of the commitment to free enterprise represented by the Democratic Party's full embrace of socialism and the passage of a full-on socialist budget by Bernie Sanders in the Senate, after already $4 trillion of spending over two years, it will mean $8 trillion of printed money.
	I was feeling pretty low last night saying, my gosh, what have we done for 20 years?
	What have we been fighting for for 40 years?
	If we're just going to be a socialist, backwaters country that can't keep our commitments to people we fight for.
	I began my life with the fall of southern Vietnam, helicopters on the embassy in Saigon.
	I went to college.
	I was a sophomore in college when that happened, 1975. And here we are.
	Kabul will look that way within 30 days.
	You just realize there's a 1994 out there somewhere.
	There's a 1980 out there somewhere.
	Indeed, I think we're going to wipe out the Democrats.
	This country does not want to be a socialist country.
	And the Democrats are socialists.
	All of them.
	They all voted for it.
	Now it's going to go to the House.
	It's a pure transfer of wealth.
	It's taking the money you earn.
	They're going to tax at death everything you've got.
	They're going to not raise the basis.
	Your houses, your farms, your businesses are going to take them away from your kids.
	And tax them, make them sell them, take 45 to 55% of that, and put it into their plans to pay their buddies off in the teachers' unions.
	And they're going to mask your kids, and they're going to ignore your demands of critical race theory be booted out.
	And you know what?
	Time to rise and fight again.

	This is Albert Moeller for townhall.com.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times has put forward a horrifyingly honest argument about abortion.
	The headline it ran was this.
	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.
	Their focus was a law passed in 2017 by the legislature in Ohio, a law that seeks to prevent abortion on the grounds that the unborn baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times is saying that it is wrong to try to protect unborn babies that are diagnosed with Down syndrome by such a law.
	Why is it wrong?
	Because, says the editorial board, it interferes with what is a greater good than human dignity in the womb.
	And that means a woman's absolute autonomy.
	And what the paper claims is her constitutional right to destroy the life within her.
	Like I said, this editorial is honest.
	It's also horrifying.
	I'm Albert Mohler.
	This is really crucially important.
	The lessons of the last 20 years is that we are peerless.
	Our military, when it comes to the application of military force at the tactical or even operational level, has no matter.
	Music playing.
	Music playing.
	AndrewandTodd.com Not ToddandAndrew.com AndrewandTodd.com I met these guys.
	I have such respect for them.
	From the first day of lockdown, they were doing mortgage work for people.
	They never closed shop.
	That's right.
	And not only that, they both passed away and are resurrected.
	I just thought I would get your attention.
	I love these guys.
	They are competent, they are honest, and they are easy to work with.
	If you have a refi, newfi, reverse mortgage, you name it, and these are the rates you should be doing something, and I recommend Andrew and Todd with Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
	That is, again, andrewandtodd.com.
	My phone number, if you want to get to them, is 888-888-1172.
	Thank you, everybody.
	They're good people.
	I like them.
	The world in which we live.
	You know what the most vaccinated country in the world is?
	It's arguably Israel.
	More than 80% of its citizens above the age of 12 are fully inoculated.
	They're getting hospitals with a lot of patients now.
	They don't know why.
	They can't figure it out.
	And they have a green passport in Israel.
	Israel is as interested in individual liberty as America and Canada are.
	Individual liberty is not a value in the world.
	It just isn't.
	It was an American value in our founding which rendered us unique.
	But we have now gravitated to the norm.
	The hell with your liberty, up with society, down with your liberty.
	And there's always a reason, right?
	It's never done because, oh, we hate liberty.
	It's done because we love safety.
	How much safety?
	So now they're telling Israelis to get a booster shot.
	And you can't get your green passport without a booster shot.
	But the booster shot will only last six months.
	So in six months, you'll probably need another booster shot.
	At what number of mRNA vaccines might there be a danger to people?
	Three, four, five, six, seven?
	Why has the medical profession disgraced itself throughout the world by not working on therapeutics?
	And banking entirely on vaccination.
	It has disgraced itself.
	The medical profession around the world is a shame.
	Is a scientific and moral shame.
	I will be shown to have been right on this.
	I already have been shown in my opinion.
	And the opinion of many others.
	More than 350 people have died of the disease in the first three weeks of August.
	In a Sunday press conference, this is Israel, the directors of seven public hospitals announced they can no longer admit any coronavirus patients.
	With 670 COVID-19 patients requiring critical care, their wards are overflowing and staff are at breaking point.
	I don't want to frighten you, coronavirus, Dr. Salman Zarqa told the Israeli parliament this week, but this is the data.
	Unfortunately, the numbers don't lie.
	Biden, he had this, and we will do nothing to recommend people to take care of themselves.
	We won't even recommend vitamin D or zinc or baby aspirin since so much of what hurts people is clotting.
	Yes, take a baby aspirin every day, folks.
	The medical profession has disgraced itself.
	Lying to you about masks.
	I read to you last hour about masks.
	The CDC's own study said it was useless in children.
	It's harmful to children.
	And doctors recommend it.
	Why should doctors be any better than lawyers?
	Or professors?
	Or any other group that has disgraced itself in American life?
	There's no reason.
	Doctors have the same degree of wisdom As gender studies professors.
	The issue isn't medical knowledge.
	The issue is wisdom and courage.
	There are plenty of doctors who have it.
	Read about the Great Barrington Declaration.
	From Great Barrington, what is it, Vermont?
	Or New Hampshire?
	I actually think it's Massachusetts.
	Oh, is it Massachusetts?
	I'm not sure.
	He's not sure.
	He is checking.
	That's the good news.
	Bad news is it doesn't happen instantaneously.
	Which?
	Massachusetts.
	How many people know about that?
	How many doctors sign that?
	Is it a thousand?
	More than a thousand doctors sign that.
	Ask your doctor if he even knows about it.
	Your doctor knows nothing about COVID. Nothing.
	All they know is how the virus works.
	That's all they know.
	It is an amazing thing that listening to this show, a non-doctor, you have learned more about COVID, more about masks than your doctor probably knows.
	Not only is it not a boast, it is totally meant to be an attack on the medical profession.
	I should not know ten times more than your doctor.
	About all of the issues with therapeutics.
	And if your doctor thinks ivermectin is dangerous, change your doctor.
	And I mean it.
	Might be a nice guy, go golfing with him.
	Or her.
	But check out another doctor.
	The principal cause of Israel's current predicament are the dominance of the extremely infectious Delta variant.
	Yeah.
	Israel vaccinated its population almost exclusively with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which received full FDA approval on Monday.
	That's yesterday.
	How did it get it so fast?
	Are you curious about that?
	The whole issue with the FDA generally was it went too slowly.
	This one, wow.
	There's zero long-term safety data.
	Zero.
	We know nothing.
	We can't know anything about the long-term safety data for the vaccinations.
	And the FDA approved it.
	They're all corrupt.
	So, Americans are going along with it.
	Yeah, you didn't get vaccinated.
	You can't go anywhere.
	My son was invited to a wedding of a friend.
	Then they announced, if you're not vaccinated, you can't come to the wedding.
	But my son had COVID.
	Still not enough.
	The portions of the Timber Traker Show are brought to you by Sierra on the Pacific.
	Because all it takes is one example of something that works.
	And that's why Florida and Hungary, in my opinion, are so similar, right?
	Is that Florida is the domestic example of a more orderly, common sense approach to the land of the insane, right?
	And they hate that.
	Like, we must crush Ron DeSantis.
	We must crush Victor Orban, right?
	Right, and notice that the people calling for crushing other people are the ones calling you a fascist.
	So the very people who are like, oh no, it's totally normal to fire someone from his job because I disagree with him.
	It's totally normal to beat someone up for having a Trump hat on.
	You know, a political party that I don't support?
	Yeah, we should beat him up.
	It's totally cool to burn your cities on the basis of political ideology, BLM, over the last year and a half.
	No, it's totally fine.
	But if you disagree that you're the fascist, it's like at a certain point...
	You know, I think we're too literal.
	I know that I certainly am way too literal.
	Every night, you know, I'm writing my scripts, and I'm like, I can't, but it's the opposite of the truth!
	And at a certain point, that's on me.
	Of course it's the opposite of the truth.
	It's a totalitarian worldview that inverts reality for its own power.
	Like, that's just what it is.
	And if I continue to be surprised by it, then I'm the moron.
	The question is, what do you do about it?
	And I'm not sure I know the answer.
	I mean, I'm not in charge of anything.
	I just did.
	I'm a talk show host, so my job is to say it out loud.
	I think that's a helpful first step.
	But you can see where this is going.
	CNN just fired three employees for not getting the vaccine.
	Just fired them.
	No one said anything.
	That's totally normal.
	Take a man's livelihood away because he won't take a medicine that you want him to take, that he may not need, that he certainly doesn't want, and he can't work in this country.
	Do we want to live in that country?
	I don't.

	music Now, when it comes to inflation, I want you to think of this.
	This is an easy way for you to understand or to remember what inflation is if this is a topic that's somewhat new to you.
	It's when too many dollars, so you have tons of money, Chasing too few goods.
	There's not enough stuff to buy, in other words.
	Or, think of Black Friday.
	You know how all the stores try to get you in the stores on Christmas season, Thanksgiving, Christmas season, Black Friday.
	You want to buy all this stuff.
	And they always advertise this one laptop or this one television set that's going to be sitting right smack in the middle of the department store.
	store and they only have X amount before they're absolutely gone.
	And obviously their trick is to get you in a store so you can buy other stuff if you're in California.
	So you can shoplift other stuff.
	But in other places around the nation, it's so you can buy other stuff.
	So you walk into this store, you get into or...
	Well, you don't walk in on Black Friday.
	You bum rush that store.
	Are you set in line?
	You have the money in your hands.
	You're ready to go.
	You've got all of this cash.
	You've been saving.
	And you're just ready to go.
	You're like, I'm going to get my Christmas shopping done today.
	You pull up.
	You see the line.
	And you're like, wow.
	Everybody else.
	The 200 people standing in line in front of me.
	The same amount of money or cash that I do, but there's only 32 of those televisions.
	Essentially, that's inflation.
	The institutions, the AEIs, to double down and to send even more troops to Afghanistan.
	Well, look, Mitt Romney got out there.
	That's fine.
	Why don't you send one of his 72 sons, none of whom served in the military?
	I am sick of them squandering not only our treasure, but our blood.
	On useless, poorly thought-out military campaigns.
	I was all for going in Afghanistan and wreaking unholy vengeance on the people who murdered Americans.
	But then what happened, Dr. Gorka?
	a complete strategic tail chase for 20 years.
	I remember going to put a particular Gary and, oh my God, a Nick and Matt Dwarf.
	What great calls.
	But I want to go to my guest.
	He's very special because he's a man of courage and knowledge.
	Great combination.
	Alex Berenson, you may have seen him.
	He's been on my show a number of times.
	Goes on Tucker Carlson.
	And God has a special place for him.
	How do you like that, Alex Berenson?
	How many people introduce you that way?
	Well, I think there are some people on the other side.
	Who agree.
	Yes, that's true.
	I now retract it.
	Oh, my God.
	So are you in some bunker somewhere?
	Where are you?
	No, no.
	I'm in beautiful Hudson Valley, New York.
	I'm just living my life.
	I go to Walmart with the kids all the time.
	I work at coffee shops.
	At this point in the United States, you're still basically allowed to say what you think and people don't come from you in public.
	Who knows how much longer that's going to be.
	Well, it's only because you live where you live.
	I mean, they do cause troubles.
	In fact, I should really begin with that question.
	Haven't you been shut down at Twitter?
	So Twitter, okay, so Twitter has, you get five strikes on Twitter.
	They'll tell you they warned you, then they'll ban you for 12 hours twice, then they'll ban you for a week, then they suspend you permanently.
	I am on strike five.
	And this all began really last month.
	For really the first year and a half of the pandemic, I was pretty much allowed to say what I liked, as everybody should be.
	Let's be clear about that.
	Whatever your views are as an American citizen, you basically should be allowed to say what you like.
	And Twitter, like Facebook, is essentially, to my mind, a quasi-public platform at this point because it is so important and so widely used.
	But put that aside for a second.
	After Joe Biden said that Facebook was killing people, and after Psaki said, you know, we have this list of people who are lying on social media, I was actually not on that list.
	Twitter's attitude towards me changed substantially, and they began to censor me.
	Now, I will say, the last time they censored me was three weeks ago.
	They have not since then, and I speculate that there are two reasons for that.
	What they were censoring me about last month was I was saying, look at the data out of Israel on vaccines.
	It looks terrible.
	There's clearly vaccine failure happening in Israel.
	Well, I mean, unfortunately for the world, but fortunately for me, you know, basically that's now accepted.
	I mean, the Israeli hospitals are filled with vaccinated people.
	The epidemic is quite severe there now.
	It's almost as bad or it's heading in the direction of being as bad as it was.
	In January, when essentially vaccinations had just started.
	And so I think it's hard for Twitter at this point to ban me when it's pretty clear that I was not wrong about this.
	And I was not giving any misinformation.
	I never give misinformation.
	I give information which people can choose to.
	I don't choose to accept or choose to debate, but I don't try to mislead people about what I'm seeing.
	The only thing I want to say is your original comment that in America you could still say what you want.
	It's not really true.
	You can still say some things, but you can't say what you want.
	I try to be an optimist.
	I know what you mean.
	But let me just say one other thing, which makes me a little bit optimistic, which is I now have this platform called Substack.
	Which Glenn Greenwald is on, which Barry Weiss is on, you know, she was at the Times, and she's quite, you know, openly and outspokenly conservative, is on, and some other people who are, you know, Matt Kaiby is on it, and Substack turns out to be a great platform.
	It is a newsletter platform that, you know, it has both great and paid options, and I think Twitter at this point, they know if they ban me, I've got more than 100,000 people signed up.
	All right.
	Your latest tweet is, I checked the sourcing and this email is correct.
	Barring data lags or some other anomalies, over 60% of deaths in Clark County, Nevada are now in vaccinated people, which shouldn't surprise anyone.
	Again, this is Alex Berenson's latest tweet, who knows the UK or Israeli data.
	Human biology is the same everywhere.
	So I want to get your take on that.
	What you learn from the data I read, and by the way, it was from the Daily Beast I read to you folks, from the left.
	Most vaccinated country in the world has as many cases and hospitalizations as almost at the peak last year.
	What does that mean?

	Too many dollars chasing too few goods.
	This from Reuters.
	Tyson Foods Incorporated cannot increase prices for chicken and prepare foods fast enough to keep pace with rising costs for raw materials like grain due to Bidenflation.
	Biden...
	Inflation.
	Say it with me.
	Tyson increased their prices to their restaurant customers.
	And you're thinking like, okay, so what?
	I don't care if they increase it to their restaurant customers.
	That's for people that are going out.
	We're not going out to eat anymore.
	It's not going to affect us.
	Aha!
	Aha!
	Yes, it will.
	As of September 5th, the retail prices are going to rise significantly for the consumers.
	Can you say thank you, Biden?

	Guys, I want to tell you, and I don't say this lightly, but make sure you stash some cash at home.
	Make sure you stash a little more food at home than normal.
	We're not getting away from inflation.
	Not with this administration and the White House.
	It's just not going to happen.
	They are spending like crazy.
	They're spending our money.
	The CEO of Tyson Chicken said, and I quote, he said, we've seen unprecedented and accelerating inflation, and we're trying to catch up.
	We're trying to catch up with that.
	They can't even catch up with how fast inflation is occurring.

	As a father of four children, I'm very familiar with lying because kids lie.
	And when kids lie...
	They lie in a recognizable way.
	They tell you a version of the story that's, say, 15 or 20 degrees off the truth.
	Like, did you eat the Oreos?
	I just had one.
	No, you had six.
	Oh, I had two.

	All right, so Alex Berenson, who is an investigative journalist and expert on COVID. so Alex Berenson, who is an investigative journalist and expert I wish all doctors knew two-thirds of what he knows about COVID.
	So you have your tweet today about how over 60% of the deaths in Clark County in New York.
	Nevada, are now in vaccinated people.
	how Israel, which is either the most vaccinated or one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, is having a massive surge in cases and in hospitalizations.
	So a guy writes in response to you, because the overwhelming majority are vaccinated, means deaths of the vaccinated will increase as the vaccine is never claimed to be 100%.
	There would be a lot more deaths without the vaccine.
	What's your response to that responder to you?
	So now we're getting a little bit more complicated than that.
	It is correct.
	That more people who are unvaccinated are getting sick in absolute numbers, okay?
	If you look at the rates of vaccinated versus unvaccinated, he is correct.
	Unvaccinated people are getting sick at higher rates.
	However, in a country like Israel, where almost everybody over 70 is vaccinated, that's essentially a meaningless fact.
	Here's why, okay?
	There are actually more people aged 75 vaccinated in this year than 95, even though the coronavirus is much more dangerous to be more than 95. Why is that?
	The most sensible explanation for that is that there's a group of people who just can't be vaccinated, okay?
	They're really old.
	They're really sick.
	They can't tolerate even a single dose, much less two doses of this.
	And if they get the coronavirus, they're going to die, okay?
	I mean, a lot of them, you know, they're near the end of their lives.
	They're going to die.
	So comparing those people, To the many more people who are vaccinated is not a fair comparison.
	What we should be looking at right now are absolute numbers, and the absolute situation in Israel is very disturbing.
	It is worse than it was last summer, and it is much worse than it was a couple of months ago.
	And you're seeing the same thing in the UK, which has high vaccination rates, and then you're starting to see this happen in the US. So the science and the math and the epidemiology get complicated here.
	But here's what's not complicated, and here's what I really want people to understand.
	And again, I wrote about this in a stack, and I tweet about it a lot.
	When these vaccines, when the clinical trial data came out, when it was released last November, that's nine months ago now, we were all told 95% efficacy against infections, okay?
	And all these public health people essentially said, As soon as we get everybody vaccinated, the epidemic ends.
	There was not a lot of talk about, oh, well, you know, it's not really going to work, but it may work against severe disease and death, and that's all we really care about.
	A, it's not even clear that that's true.
	B, if that's the case, if the vaccines don't end infection or transmission, then they should not in any way be mandatory.
	Because then it's my choice.
	You know what?
	If I get really sick because I don't trust the vaccine, that's my choice.
	It's not hurting you.
	Because if I get vaccinated, if I can still spread this, how does it benefit you?
	That it helps in most cases, that if nobody got vaccinated, there would be more cases and more deaths.
	How do you answer that?
	What I'm saying to you is, at this point, you cannot look at the data coming out of the most vaccinated countries and say that.
	And unfortunately, let me give you another point that is not being made right now.
	In Eastern Europe, okay, not Western Europe, Eastern Europe, a country like Romania...
	They have basically given up on vaccines, okay?
	If you look, you can look and you can see how many people have been vaccinated.
	It's about 25% of the population in Romania, okay?
	They basically stopped in June.
	They are not having a surge right now, okay?
	Sweden, where fewer people are vaccinated and more people have natural immunity, there is no surge.
	This is happening in Palestine, okay?
	Palestine and Lebanon, countries that surround Israel, where far fewer people are vaccinated, Wow.
	So...
	The implication of Romania and Sweden and the implication of Israel and the UK is, and I'm saying implication, not necessary deduction, that the vaccine is useless.
	The vaccine prevents infection for a short period of time.
	Go back and look at Israel in May.
	They thought they were done.
	There were days when I think they had no new hospitalizations in May and June, late May and June.
	In the UK, you know, it was close to the same thing.
	They never got quite to there.
	The UK is a bigger country, but they got pretty close, okay?
	And you can read stories from May and June about the hot, vaxxed summer and about how everything was going to be fine.
	Something changed, and it changed dramatically, and pretending that it didn't change is a lie.
	Now, if I'm Fauci, or if I'm, you know, a scientist at Pfizer, or at BioNTech, or at Moderna, I need to know what is going on with my vaccines.
	Okay?
	And I need to stop lying and saying, this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, or if we can just get to 100% coverage, everything's going to be fine.
	That is just not true.
	One more thing.
	I believe that the medical profession is responsible for 100,000 or more.
	Dead Americans in not advocating therapeutics.
	What is your position?
	So, you know, I'm a data guy, okay?
	I don't see clinical trial data saying ivermectin works.
	I don't see data saying it doesn't work either, okay?
	I know there's, you know, there's small studies.
	Here's what I would say to you.
	This should have been tested a year ago, okay?
	It's a cheap product.
	It's clearly a low-risk product for a lot of people.
	Why don't we know?
	Why didn't we do the trial?
	Why didn't we do a really good clinical trial?
	And in one sentence, why didn't we?
	Because I think Fauci and the NIH were in love with the vaccine.
	I think they really wanted a vaccine.
	And they put all their time and energy and effort there.
	And they thought they'd won.
	But when they saw that clinical trial data, they thought they had won.
	And it is a terrible thing for all of us.
	Alright, how do people get in touch with you?
	What's your website or whatever?
	So Substack is the site, and if you just type in Alex Berenson, you will find my...

	Remember, I said they're going to borrow and spend a lot of money.
	Now, you know, when the tax increases come up, this is going to be to borrow and spend enormous amounts of money, force inflation up without addressing even the safety net needs.
	Forget about defense, which they're not spending any money on either, right?
	Right.
	A sort of left-wing-flavored chaos.
	And I think it's because they don't have the votes and they don't really have the plan to do anything else.
	Now, you know Joe Biden and you know Bernie Sanders.
	Is Joe Biden in charge of this?
	Or has Bernie Sanders just been deferred to?
	Yeah, I think this is sort of policy by default.
	What is it we can do that we can tell the activist base?
	They should like.
	I don't think at the end of the day they're going to be satisfied either.
	And then we'll do that.
	I kind of think that's what's happening.
	I say, I'm not trying to, because I don't see any other logic behind it.
	I mean, again, there are basic needs that need to be addressed in the social safety net.

	Matt in Milwaukee, thank you for talking about masks trying to keep life normal for his kids.

	If your parents are scared, your world is shattered.
	Get it?
	You scared parents?
	Oh, put on a mask, Johnny.
	You are shattering the most important thing you can give your child, which is security.
	Your child needs security ten times more than love.
	Okay?
	Your child needs both.
	But between the two, security is far more important than I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.
	And because I so love you, you must put on a mask even though you're three.
	Your kids are lucky, Baton, Milwaukee.
	Tony in Pittsburgh disagrees.
	People need to get vaxxed and wear masks.
	Hmm, that's a charmer.
	Okay, I can't resist taking it.
	You don't have a lot of time, Tony, but go ahead.
	Okay, I knew you'd take the call because it totally is in disagreement with what you're saying.
	Well, that's a compliment to me, that you know that I would take a call that totally disagrees.
	I accept that.
	Go ahead.
	Well, that's good.
	And that's how we go forward, is to try to find the middle, which we seemingly can't do today.
	But I disagree with you wholeheartedly.
	We would not be in the position we're in if people would have listened right off the bat.
	I would assume you do not have a degree in infection control, and neither do I. But I've worked around infection control for a long, long time.
	And the processes that should have happened...
	Way back when this started is we should have listened to our health care professionals.
	And if we would have a mask and we would have stayed away from each other immediately, we would have pushed this virus back, way back.
	But because of discussions that we've been having with no masks, no vaccine, all this stuff, all we've kept doing is playing tennis and knocking the ball back and forth over the net.
	In lieu of pushing it on one side of the net by doing the right things.
	Okay, that's why I had the statistics on Israel for you.
	Most vaccinated country in the world is having a surge.
	Romania, great majority of its people, unvaccinated, no surge.

	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times has put forward a horrifyingly honest argument about abortion.
	The headline it ran was this.
	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.
	Their focus was a law passed in 2017 by the legislature in Ohio, a law that seeks to prevent abortion on the grounds that the unborn baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times is saying that it is wrong to try to protect unborn babies that are diagnosed with Down syndrome by such a law.
	Why is it wrong?
	Because, says the editorial board, it interferes with what is a greater good than human dignity in the womb.
	And that means a woman's absolute autonomy.
	And what the paper claims is her constitutional right to destroy the life within her.
	Like I said, this editorial is honest.
	It's also horrifying.
	I'm Albert Moeller.
	This is really crucially important.
	The lessons of the last 20 years is that we are peerless.
	Our military, when it comes to the application of military force at the tactical or even operational level...
	It has no match in the world, especially Operation Anaconda.
	The October 2001 operation, when we went in there with just a couple of hundred CIA paramilitaries and guys from Delta and from Bragg, and we leveraged 21,000 members of the Northern Alliance, and we took down the Taliban government, that was textbook.
	Nobody, not even Julius Caesar, not Napoleon, could do it better.
	But since then, at the strategic level, Kurt, it's been a disaster.
	It's been an utter disaster, and frankly, I'm worried about the tactical level.
	I'm worried that whether or not we still maintain the tactical capabilities that we need for high-intensity combat operations against peer-level competitors like the Chinese.
	Especially, and I write about this in my Monday Town Hall column, Dr. Gorka, especially when you look at the Navy.
	For nearly 70 years, it has glided on the legacy of...
	The military triumphs in the Pacific Theater over the Japanese.
	And we relied on, we consoled ourselves, saying, well, you know, the Chinese technology's getting better, they're getting more and more ships, but we have a naval tradition.
	You know what?
	So did the Carthaginians.
	Okay?
	The Romans had no navy until they found a Carthaginian warship that had run aground, they copied it, they trained, and they beat the hell out of Carthaginians.

	The Ultimate Issues Hour is the third hour of Tuesdays.
	When I began the Ultimate Issues Hour, it was a gamble.
	Because people think of talk radio as news-oriented, generally speaking.
	So what's an Ultimate Issues Hour doing?
	It's not specifically addressing an issue that's happening at that moment.
	It turns out that it's the most important hour I broadcast, and I don't even include the Male-Female Hour, and I include the Happiness Hour, and I include any other hour.
	Title for this hour could be the Wisdom Hour, and there's no wisdom taught in our elementary schools, high schools, or colleges.
	And the reason for that is they're all secular, and there's no wisdom in the secular world.
	None.
	Zero.
	Nada.
	There's knowledge, and even that is fading.
	But there's no wisdom.
	And there are secular wise people, because they got their wisdom from Judeo-Christian sources.
	Either growing up or from the society.
	But there's no wisdom in any secular institution.
	The most secular institution is the dumbest at the university.
	It is a place of pure idiocy.
	To say that you've wasted $40,000 sending your child there is to understate the case.
	In the vast majority of cases, unless they have to learn physics or math or something like that.
	Anyway, that's the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	It's about the great issues.
	So I raised this issue earlier this week, but it's so important that I actually wrote my column on this subject.
	And you should take a look.
	It's free.
	Up at DennisPrager.com.
	It's at TownHall.com.
	And it is about the great problem of the city.
	The big city.
	And it's called Imagine No Big Cities, my column.
	The United States is being destroyed by big cities.
	That's not an opinion.
	That's a fact.
	Everything, virtually everything bad happening is happening from big cities.
	The ideas of big cities, the crime of big cities, the human alienation in big cities, the loneliness in big cities.
	Big cities are a curse.
	Always have been.
	That's the interesting thing.
	Bet you you didn't know this, and I have this in my article.
	You know that thing that I look to for wisdom called the Bible?
	Can't stand big cities.
	This is some interesting data that I'd like to offer you, just to show you how old the realization is about how bad the big cities are.
	The first city ever built, in biblical terms, is attributed, guess to whom?
	Cain.
	In a little-known passage, Genesis 4.17, Cain, the first murderer in history, builds the first city.
	That gives you a little idea of how Genesis...
	Regards, big cities.
	Then there's the famous story of the Tower of Babel, a tower built to reach as high as the heavens, in order, quote, to make the builders famous.
	What is less well known is that every time the Bible mentions the tower, it mentions the city built alongside it.
	Quote, and they said, come let us build a city and a tower with its top in the sky.
	Genesis 11.4.
	Wow.
	Oh.
	We're wrong in actually calling it the Tower of Babel story.
	It should be the city and the Tower of Babel story.
	Biblical scholar Patrick D. Miller, professor emeritus of Old Testament theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, wrote that the story should more properly be captioned, the city of Babel, not the Tower of Babel.
	Another scholar, this time a Jewish one, the first one was Christian, Professor Robert Alter of the University of California, Berkeley, wrote, the polemic thrust of the story is against urbanism.
	And guess what?
	What is the name of the paradigmatic places of evil in the Bible?
	Two cities.
	Sodom and Gomorrah.
	Two cities.
	Yes, indeed.
	So, this notion that the cities are the ruination of values...
	Is not new.
	It's ancient.
	In the United States, can you imagine?
	Imagine Washington without Seattle.
	Imagine California without LA and San Francisco.
	Imagine Pennsylvania without Philadelphia.
	Imagine New York State without New York City.
	And you are imagining a much nicer place.
	That's the way it is.
	Pick any state, almost any state, I guess, and its biggest cities.
	It has nothing to do with race or ethnicity.
	The Bible predates America by 3,000 years.
	The Bible had contempt for cities.
	The problem is the city.
	It produces alienated people.
	It produces lonely people.
	It produces angry people.
	It produces meaner people.
	Here's a study that I didn't mention when I spoke about this a few days ago.
	And let's see.
	Let me give it to you here.
	Here we go.
	This is from the University of Indiana Center on Philanthropy.
	Rural donors donated a statistically significant higher percentage of their income to charity than urban donors did.
	Whoa, I'm not surprised about that.
	People outside of cities give more charity than people inside cities.
	Per capita.
	That means per person.
	Which is remarkable, given how many rich people live in cities.
	Cities are a bane.
	I list here, as well, Hitler learned his anti-Semitism in Vienna.
	Marx spent his adult life in London, writing his totalitarian tomes at the London Library.
	Pol Pot, the genocidal butcher of Cambodia, became a committed communist in Paris.
	Lenin engaged in his Marxist activities in St. Petersburg, Munich, London, and Geneva.
	Stalin, born in Georgia, rose to prominence in Georgia's largest city, its capital, Tbilisi, and spent the rest of his life in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
	Yep.
	How many bad ideas come from outside of cities?
	How many people in, let's see here, How many people in Manhattan believe men give birth?
	Now why would that be?
	Hmm?
	Would you all agree that the largest percentage of Americans who believe men give birth are in big cities?
	Fascinating, isn't it?
	Do you become stupider if you live in a big city?
	Or do the stupid gravitate to big cities?
	And the answer is both.
	You become stupider in a big city.
	But, ah, the stupidity is equaled by the arrogance.
	They believe they're superior to the people in, as they call it, flyover country.
	They really do.
	I grew up in New York.
	They believe they were superior to people in Nebraska.
	They were smarter.
	They were more sophisticated.
	They were everything better than people in Nebraska.
	That's how they think in big cities.
	So it comes with arrogance.
	You agree?
	Disagree?
	Big City is the issue.

	Hello.
	My friends, I'm Dennis Prager. I'm Dennis Prager.
	This is the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	The damage big cities do.
	By the way, I called Cain a murderer.
	I should have said killer.
	It was not premeditated to the extent that we could read the story.
	But in any event, the subject of the Ultimate Issues Hour, which is so big, I mentioned it earlier this week, and I wrote my column on it, my Tuesday column.
	You should pass that on.
	It should provoke thought in people.
	Nobody gives this subject thought.
	Are big cities good or bad for civilization?
	I mean, there are advantages.
	The arts flourish there, but of course the arts are somewhat of a farce today.
	Unfortunately.
	There's a lot of gorgeous architecture there, but you can always visit.
	But to live among people that share your values, get the hell out of Seattle, Philadelphia, New York City.
	The interesting thing about these people, as I said, far more people believe men give birth in Manhattan than where I was this past weekend.
	I think it's called Bucks County, is that correct?
	I think it is.
	About an hour and a half north of Philadelphia.
	The contempt that the people in big cities have for people in small cities, let alone rural areas, is part of the deplorables.
	They're regarded as deplorable.
	But it's okay.
	I regard the big city intellectual as deplorable, so there you go.
	But who believes more nonsense like men give birth?
	That America was founded in 1619. You think more people believe in that in Cody, Wyoming?
	or in the Bronx.
	The big city is the place, or as I pointed out, so many of the worst human beings learned and developed their evil ideas. . so many of the worst human beings learned and developed So it's something to think about.
	Young people flock to big cities.
	They're more exciting.
	That's true.
	If your life is not exciting and you want an exciting city to make it exciting, it is an interesting thing to me.
	The need, it's a separate issue, but it's worthy of discussion on another hour.
	If your life is exciting, how important is it to you to live in an exciting place?
	People will give up so much to live in New York City because it's exciting.
	Well, I understand it at 25. I'm not saying I agree, but I understand it.
	I don't understand it at 35 or older.
	One of life's questions is, is your life inherently exciting?
	Not are your surroundings exciting?
	And your life is exciting if you have friends, if you have meaningful work.
	If you have family that you get along with, at least.
	That's exciting.
	And if you need a periodic infusion of excitement, you can visit a big city.
	I'm going to return to peace and harmony.
	All right, what do you have to say?
	Oh, yeah, by the way, I know Dean in New Jersey.
	Wants to quote Jefferson, and I do in my article.
	Here, I'll give you the example here.
	It's quite remarkable what Jefferson said.
	All the founders were anti-city.
	Here, I'll find it for you here.
	Rutgers University professor Leonardo Vasquez wrote that the Thomas Jefferson quote was of one mind about cities.
	He hated them.
	Though Jefferson partied in Paris and had a hand in shaping Washington, D.C., he thought cities were dens of corruption and iniquity that would spoil the young American republic.
	And he was right.
	Right about a lot of things.
	And that...
	It's certainly one of them.
	Okie dokie.

	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I live on a farm in downstate Illinois, and of course, Chicago is the bane of the state.
	When we talk to our friends up there, I always want to point out that if it wasn't for Chicago, the state would only be getting a percentage of the money from out of state that we're getting now.
	I come back with the fact that if it wasn't for Chicago, we would only need a percentage of the money coming in from out of state when it comes to law enforcement, the prison system, the welfare state, health care, all the way down the line.
	Good point.
	That's a good one.
	You're right.
	Yeah, that brings in more money.
	Anyway, as I write in my article, to the extent that my state would suffer if the biggest two cities seceded, The quality of life would make up for it.
	Absolutely.
	So, do you have in Illinois, I assume the answer is yes, but I don't know for sure, so does the average Chicago individual have a certain degree of contempt for those of you in rural Illinois?
	Yeah.
	When they come down here, you described it on your yesterday's show.
	They don't think we're sophisticated.
	They don't think we, you know, we don't do anything except pick.
	You know, we're just a bunch of deadbeats or something.
	And I don't really understand it.
	Well, they have to believe that to justify their inferior quality of life in Chicago.

	There isn't a moronic idea that is rejected in the big cities.
	It's also callous.

	Be fascinating for people to react to it.
	How, generally speaking, big cities are ruining this country and not just this country.
	So Jeff lives in Seattle and just traveled through the Bible Belt in Georgia, correct?
	That is correct.
	And you were going to tell me that?
	Well, my wife leaves left.
	I leave right.
	It's been tough on us.
	And my kids were indoctrinated because we were going through public schools out here in the Seattle area.
	I listened to the Republican National Convention, everything they said.
	When they recapped, it was just totally off.
	I thought, this is wild.
	So I would take some time every day and do devotions with my kid, and they couldn't argue with the authority of Scripture.
	So they respected that in me.
	They had respect for me.
	So that was always the foundation.
	You could take biblical truths and then transfer them to things that are going on in the world, authority, and police, and respect, and parents, and honoring, all these things.
	They can't argue with scripture.
	They had enough of that.
	So when I dropped one off at Annapolis and saw her after six weeks, we had some discussions, and the transformation was apparent.
	And again, getting back to the drive through the South, it was just...
	The programming that's in your mind as I made that drive with the conservative talk and religious doctrine, it was just spectacular.
	So your two daughters share your values?
	The seed has been planted when they grow up.
	We'll train them up in the ways of the Lord and we'll see if it be continued.
	Is your wife religious?
	She's religious, but I would say more preoccupied with getting their kids successfully through school and making lots of money.
	Whereas I would say, let's do things biblically.
	Those things will take care of itself.
	Does your wife believe that men give birth?
	Does she believe that an all-black dormitory is bad?
	We've never got into topics like that.
	I don't want you to argue with her.
	I want you to love her.
	I was just trying to ascertain what level of leftist she is.
	You should take a look at my piece, 32 Questions to Ask Friends and Relatives.
	And it's nonjudgmental.
	It is simply a list of 32 questions to help ascertain for the individual as well as for the person giving the questions.
	Whether the person is a leftist or a liberal, and it could be helpful to your marriage.
	If you continue to differ, but at least your wife, this would be very helpful.
	If she realized, I may not share my husband's conservatism, but I'm certainly not a leftist.
	So that could be helpful.
	You should all take a look at that piece, 32 questions.
	Put in a search engine, Dennis Prager, 32 questions.
	I wonder how many of you have moved from a big city to a small town or a smaller place.
	People ought to write about that.
	What they experienced, what they missed about the big city, whether or why they are happier now, where they are.
	Tom in Philadelphia, hello.
	Thank you for calling.
	Hey, Dennis, how are you doing today?
	Good.
	I think a lot of those cities that you mentioned today are the economic drivers of those states.
	If you get rid of those big cities in those states, we're going to have, like, an example, Pennsylvania.
	I'm calling from Philadelphia.
	If you get rid of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, we're going to be like Alabama, where we pay a dollar.
	For every dollar we pay in federal income tax, $3 comes back in federal money.
	If you look at the list of states that don't have big cities, they're also the ones that take the most federal dollars back.
	Don't you agree?
	I wrote in my piece that they're the economic drivers of states.
	But I bet if you took a vote, you're in Pennsylvania, I would bet you a large sum of money, and I'm not a betting man, that if you took a bet among People not living in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, whether they would like those cities to secede, despite the economic consequences, you'd have an overwhelmingly positive vote.
	Yeah, but in the same place, if you ask somebody from this city, don't you think that there should be jobs in the rest of the state of Pennsylvania?
	Then I have a problem with those people living out there.
	I think they should all move to the city.
	I mean, you can look at it both ways.
	I didn't quite follow that.
	They should all...
	Non-Philadelphians and Pittsburghites should move to those cities.
	Why?
	I'm sorry, I just didn't follow the argument.
	Yeah, no, I'm just saying, like you just said, if you took a poll of people that don't live in the cities, whether they care about...
	Yeah, but if you took a poll from the people that live in the cities about people that don't, you might get the same...
	Yes, you're in no way, you're not disputing anything I said.
	You said that people need to understand the economic price they would pay if Philadelphia seceded from Pennsylvania.
	And I said they don't give a damn.
	They think you're ruining the state, and you are.
	Philadelphia is ruining Pennsylvania for the people who don't live in Philadelphia.
	That's what you think.
	You don't live here.
	It's irrelevant whether I live there.
	That's irrelevant.
	If you can only comment on where you live, I can only comment on my little town outside of Pasadena.
	I mean, that's irrelevant.
	I can comment.
	So the question is whether I'm right or wrong.
	So you believe Philadelphia is an asset?
	The way it votes is an asset?
	The way it thinks?
	It's universities?
	And I think they stink.
	So that's it.
	We differ.
	It's fine.

	It's law school stinks.

	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times has put forward a horrifyingly honest argument about abortion.
	The headline it ran was this.
	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.
	Their focus was a law passed in 2017 by the legislature in Ohio, a law that seeks to prevent abortion on the grounds that the unborn baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times is saying that it is wrong to try to protect unborn babies that are diagnosed with Down syndrome by such a law.
	Why is it wrong?
	Because, says the editorial board, it interferes with what is a greater good than human dignity in the womb.
	And that means a woman's absolute autonomy.
	And what the paper claims is her constitutional right to destroy the life within her.
	Like I said, this editorial is honest.
	It's also horrifying.

	But since then, at the strategic level, Kurt, it's been a disaster.
	It's been an utter disaster.
	And frankly, I'm worried about the tactical level.
	I'm worried that whether or not we still maintain the tactical capabilities of the That we need for high-intensity combat operations against peer-level competitors like the Chinese.
	Especially, and I write about this in my Monday Town Hall column, Dr. Gorka, especially when you look at the Navy.
	For nearly 70 years, it has glided on the legacy of the military triumphs in the Pacific Theater over the Japanese.
	And we relied on, we consoled ourselves, saying, well, you know, the Chinese technology's getting better, they're getting more and more ships, but we have a naval tradition.
	You know what?
	So did the Carthaginians.
	Okay, the Romans had no navy until they found a Carthaginian warship that had run aground, they copied it.
	They trained, and they beat the hell out of Carthage.
	You can find Rome in ruins.
	Can't find any Carthaginian ruins.

	Essentially, that's inflation.
	Thank you.
	Too many dollars chasing too few goods.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	I called the University of Pennsylvania cesspool, which it is.
	And I gave examples as the law school and the Department of English.
	I have reasons for saying that.
	I never make a generalization without specific examples, unlike the left.
	You're white supremacists, but they never actually give an example of your white supremacy.
	Amy Wax is a professor of both medicine, well, she's a medical degree, and she's a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
	She wrote a piece a couple of years ago in which she said that middle-class bourgeois values were good for everybody.
	They're really wonderful.
	Like, get married before you have a child, work hard, try to be nice to everybody.
	Pretty basic stuff.
	Hundreds, hundreds, my dear caller from Philadelphia, hundreds of law professors demanded that she stop teaching her course for saying something so unbelievably basic as that.
	That's what I just read to you.
	And the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania took down the mural of Shakespeare because he's a white European male.
	The fact that he's the greatest writer of English is irrelevant to the English department.
	His color and sex matter to the morons at the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania.
	So they put up a non- White, lesbian poet.
	That's important.
	That's how you judge the quality of a person's work.
	Do they sleep with members of the same sex?
	That's important to the Department of English.
	The Department of Anthropology is worse than the Department of English.
	Then there's Gender Studies.
	Your university is a wasteland.
	Okay, so I have reasons for my contempt for the University of Pennsylvania, which, by the way, is not one whit worse than Yale.
	Okay, the competition for worst university is a very, very, very tight race.
	To Mike and Heather and Gary and Scott and Greg and Dan and Matt and Brenda, I wish I could take your calls.
	The city is a bane.
	Read my column today at my website or at town hall.
	It always has been.
	People are nicer, give more charity, take care of one another more, smile more, are happier outside of big cities.
	Are there exceptions?
	Of course there are exceptions, but it's irrelevant to the rule.
	Rules have exceptions, such as life.
	The worst ideas in the world come from big cities.
	People become foolish in big cities.
	In Bucks County, they don't think men give birth.
