	It is Thursday, the 7th day of October 2021. It is the Dennis Prager Show.
	I am perhaps the second most familiar voice you can hear on the Dennis Prager Show, because I'm here every once in a while, here for Larry, here for you, here for whenever the bat signal hits the sky.
	Mark Davis, your buddy from 660 AM, The Answer, here in Dallas-Fort Worth.
	Dennis is off today, and we are ready to go with all kinds of topics, and as always seems to happen when I'm here joining you from Texas, Stuff happening in my neck of the woods making national news.
	We had us a big old school shooting yesterday midday that filled your TV screens no matter where you lived.
	And that struck us odd around here.
	I mean, every school shooting is instantly newsworthy and noteworthy.
	We understand that.
	And nobody died, which is great.
	Injuries, yes.
	And we pray for the health and recovery of everybody.
	And there may be a subtext.
	To this school shooting, your average school shooting, if there is such a thing as an average school shooting, involves some unplugged, nihilistic, downtrodden kid, doggone it, I'm going to show the world what I think of it and see how many people I can take with me, etc., etc.
	That appears to not be the case in this instance.
	This appears to be a kid who's being bullied, robbed mercilessly, or so his family says.
	Bringing a gun to school was the only way he felt he could protect himself.
	I guess there was another incursion and he took action.
	Now, is that okay?
	Of course not.
	Can't do that.
	But there may be a bullying aspect to this story that gives us an undercurrent that we can talk about.
	Speaking of schools, speaking of schools, how much do you love that the Attorney General cares so much about what's going on in your school districts Mobilize federal law enforcement, FBI, various U.S. Attorneys General, and then he's going to make sure we have meetings.
	Ah, got to have meetings with your local police.
	Ah, the government is here, and they're here to help you with your local police to make sure that every eye is trained, to make sure that every gun may be trained at some point at parents who dare to show up and voice their righteous indignation.
	That's some of the nonsense going on in our schools.
	Let us stipulate, shouldn't have to, but we will, that nobody advocates actual threats of violence.
	Nobody advocates going beyond the pale of what is on the list of acceptable behaviors when you are mightily hacked off about critical race theory or mask mandates or anything else for that matter.
	But where's the blurry line?
	Where does it get drawn?
	Is it drawn at the point where a school board member feels triggered?
	Because that's where we are.
	If a school board member feels triggered because you've had it up to your eyeballs with critical race theory teaching your children to hate the country and hate each other and to view everything through a poisonous lens of race, if you're saying not just no but blank no to that, And you cop a little attitude in your remarks, you know, and then I'm a big fan of fighting hard and fighting smart.
	You know, don't scream at these people, don't throw anything at them, and obviously don't threaten them in any palpable way.
	But these school board snowflakes are triggered, again, if you look at them crosswise, and they feel mightily threatened by any parent who even mentions something about mask mandates or about critical race theories.
	I'm triggered.
	I'm triggered.
	Call the special hotline.
	1-800-DOMESTIC-TERRORIST. Call the special hotline that they will have set up to make sure that you, in the school board positions, can feel safe.
	And can we get you a pillow?
	Can we get you a foot rub?
	Instead of these parents who dare to show up and voice their frustrations.
	So, if anything does ever go south at a school board meeting, if anything really does ever get...
	Out of hand.
	And I've watched some of these meetings and say, well, there's video of some right there at DennisPrager.com because you know you can watch the show as well as listen to the proceedings.
	And I've watched some of these school board meetings and I've said, wow, guys, dial it back a little.
	Come on, play hard, play smart.
	Make your points.
	If you want to get spirited, if you want to get angry, that's fine.
	Anger is appropriate.
	But don't lose it.
	Don't give people a reason to shut you down, etc., etc., etc.
	But I'd love your thoughts on where you think that's going.
	Because I'll tell you what I want you to do.
	I want you to show up in twice the numbers that you ordinarily would.
	And lawyer up.
	And make clear to these rogue school boards that we want history taught by actual books written by historians and not activists.
	Instructors who are driven by a love of history.
	And maybe, dare we ask, a love of country?
	Not where we cover up our sins, because Lord knows we've got plenty.
	Now that we cover up our enlightenment that we've had to walk through, because we've had a journey we've had to walk, from slavery to Jim Crow to now, and all of that needs to be taught, but not through this 1619 Project garbage, not through critical race theory, which teaches every kid to hate the country and hate each other and view things through a lens of race, because they want everything viewed through a lens of race, and do you know why that is?
	It's because the phony Weaponization of racism, that's all the left has.
	These folks don't want to talk to us about whether we are right or wrong, about borders, right or wrong, about taxes, right or wrong, about abortion, right or wrong, about anything.
	As soon as we differ with them, it's like, well, you must be, not just a racist, a white supremacist.
	They've been trying to stick that on us for a while.
	So this is what all of this is about.
	As with any battle, it's an old adage, The first battle is over what?
	Language.
	The first battle is over language.
	So let's talk about some of that.
	Let me give you the phone numbers.
	1-8 Prager 776. You know that.
	1-8 Prager 776. For all things Dennis, and to watch the festivities here, DennisPrager.com.
	And follow me on Twitter, at Mark Davis, at M-A-R-K Davis.
	And again, I'm the happy morning host here at 660 AM, The Answer, in Dallas-Fort Worth, which means I've done the best show prep possible for the Dennis Prager Show, also known as my own show, this morning, 7 to 10 local time central.
	And boy, did we have a big ring dang do over debt and deficit.
	And it's funny because if you feel your brain leaking out your ears at the very mention of debt and deficit and all, because it does me too.
	It's like, oh, how can I ever hope to fathom the depths of this nonsense, this fiscal morass we find ourselves in?
	And that kind of wound up being the topic.
	This is how politicians have gotten away with this forever.
	They know we're numb.
	We've been bludgeoned.
	Billions used to be a lot.
	You remember the joke?
	100 billion, 200 billion, eventually it starts to turn into real money.
	Guess what?
	No, it didn't.
	Because now we're talking trillions.
	5.5 trillion.
	And now we're supposed to dance in the streets if they can keep it to 1.5 trillion.
	Oh, yay.
	Thank you, sir.
	May I have another?
	Good grief.
	So spending, the school board activism being demonized and perhaps criminalized even by the Attorney General.
	Bottom line on this, the federal government, the FBI, the Biden administration has no business, no stake.
	No foundation for nosing around in your school board.
	If anything goes weird or squirrely at your school board, call the local cops.
	They got this.
	And I would call on every local police department to refuse to have anything to do with this.
	Just on personal pride.
	Not taking any side of anything.
	Your local police chief, if the phone rings...
	Hello, hi, it's the Attorney General's office, and yeah, we want to get with you to coordinate and set up some panic hotlines in case your school board feels threatened or triggered by some crazy parent.
	Click.
	No thanks.
	We got this.
	That's what I want.
	Here's something else I want, for those who are willing.
	Join along.
	I do it at the beginning of my local show, and it seems pretty popular, so let's do Lord guide us and protect us as we face the challenges of each new day.
	We thank you every day for this blessed nation and for your hand in creating it.
	Fill our hearts with the energy to protect the freedoms that we know come from you, which our nation was founded to protect.
	Lord, be with us as we chart a course out of this COVID nightmare.
	Help us to be smart and safe as we reclaim our lives.
	Guide us to fight for our liberties within the law and by following your law.
	Let us navigate these troubling times with a positive spirit, treating others as we would wish to be treated.
	In these times of trial and challenge, Lord, lift us as we follow your word and work for a better America, where our Constitution is honored, our elections are reliable, our borders work, where we fight for the unborn, and where our differences are hashed out with honesty and goodwill, and our freedoms of speech and worship are protected.
	As we face each day's problems, give us the clarity to look around and cherish our many, many blessings in our nation, our communities, and our families.
	If we follow you, Lord, we know we can get through anything.
	And we ask these things in your holy name.
	Amen.
	And that always gets my head right before any show, before any day, before anything, in fact.
	So, thank you.
	And 1-8 Prager 776 is the phone line.
	And we're going to head right in that direction.
	I've got more things to say, but you do too.
	You guys are next on the phones.
	Mark Davis filling in for Dennis.
	Happy Thursday.
	day.
	Be right back.
	Trending now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	There is this question of, is America becoming a safer country or a more dangerous country?
	So Merrick Garland did not issue a memo condemning the fact that murders are up 30% since last year.
	30% murders are up.
	So murders are up 30% in the last year, and Merrick Garland instead issues a directive saying that we're not going to go try to find the spike in violent crime, like the Abolishing Police Force, BLM Incorporated, how these ideas of CRT are actually resulting in more people being dead.

	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show. - What the left tries to do is they just use emotion.
	They try to make you so mad that you stop thinking.
	And you end up, you wind up just literally foregoing your liberties, your civil liberties, because you're mad at somebody.
	And the left just reels you in.
	Oh, this person is racist.
	Oh, this person is homophobic.
	Oh, this person is xenophobic.
	And all this kind of stuff.
	It's this constant divisiveness.
	It's this constant state of anger just to keep you mad.
	And then you're so busy being mad.
	You're so busy hating your neighbor that you're not thinking, oh, wait a minute.
	Inflation is skyrocketing?
	You mean I won't be able to afford groceries?
	I'm already struggling, but I won't be able to afford groceries?
	I won't be able to put...
	Afford to put gas in my car?
	See, the big issues they want you to stop thinking about.
	They just want you to hate Republicans.
	They want you to hate black conservatives.
	They want you to hate white conservatives.
	Meanwhile, they're hating on you.
	It's amazing to me how the left gets away with this stuff.
	And it's amazing to me how so many people continuously fall for it.
	You notice every election cycle, the left will blow up, the media will blow up a story.
	About a black man or whatever.
	Maybe it's an issue with cops or whatever it may be.
	But you have to understand something.
	And I'm not saying these stories like George Floyd and all this kind of stuff shouldn't be brought to light.
	But you have to understand the reason why they're brought to light isn't because they happen all the time.
	Because police have millions of stops and deal with, you know, they have millions of confrontations with criminals and none every single year.
	So when something like a George Floyd incident makes it onto the news, it's not because it's normative, it's because it's extremely rare.
	But the left makes you too mad to realize this.

	Mark Davis in for Dennis today, this Thursday, October 7th.
	About to head to your calls on a variety of things.
	1-8 Prager-776 as we teeter on the brink of our latest monthly fiscal crisis.
	Just a couple of moments ago, Senator Ed Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, was asked an actual coherent question by Andrea Mitchell.
	I know, right?
	And it involves kicking the can down the road because the one thing maybe you heard overnight...
	Oh, McConnell had an idea.
	Schumer didn't hate it.
	Maybe there's hope for balance in the universe.
	And the idea basically involved this debt limit thing, increasing the debt ceiling, which is apparently so urgent, or an asteroid will hit the Earth.
	The incredibly satisfying thing they've decided is, eh, let's kick the can down the road and we'll mess with this in December.
	What a great idea.
	And so Andrea Mitchell actually asked Ed Markey, Essentially, dude, why not deal with this now?
	To work it out on a rational basis, obviously the Republicans were acting irresponsibly.
	They were putting the full faith and credit of the United States at risk.
	Here, Mitch McConnell blinked.
	It gives us time through December to pass.
	The bipartisan infrastructure bill.
	It gives us time to pass the reconciliation bill that has all of the funding in for child care, for free community college, to deal with the climate crisis.
	We can get those bills passed between now and the first week of December.
	God help us.
	And they think they can.
	And they think they can.
	And did you catch the witch list?
	Freudian slip, witch list.
	The wish list.
	Witch hunt, wish list.
	From Senator Ed Markey there.
	Climate nonsense.
	Free college.
	Nothing is free.
	And virtually every other activist fever dream that they have.
	I mean, that's where we are.
	And they think that they were unable to achieve this now in the short term here in October.
	So give them the month of October, the month of November.
	Get us into the doldrums and the fog of the holidays.
	And they're going to try to do this again.
	And in a 50-50 Senate, it will be Mitch McConnell's job to do his utmost to see to it that this does not happen.
	All righty, 1-8 Prager 776. Tom, Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How are you doing, sir?
	Hey, very good, Mark.
	Thank you so much for putting me on.
	Two quick points, if I might.
	In my long 76 years, I've never been so frightened and angry at what's happening to this country.
	Point number one.
	The massive blitzkrieg assault on decency, freedom, God, from the border crisis, the Afghanistan debacle, the national defense very weak, the absolute freedom-crushing agenda of the big, intrusive federal government done by Biden, including the vaccine mandate, the cradle-to-grave government.
	Takeover of our lives.
	That's number one.
	This is just frightening.
	Number two, all this is evil.
	It's based on Marxism.
	Marx was inextricably tied to Satan as portrayed brilliantly in Paul Kangler's book, The Devil and Karl Marx.
	And you can see that in every aspect of what I talked about, and especially in the key issue of education.
	If we lose our children, if we allow them to be polluted...
	By the file, critical race theory, the 1619 Project, all of which is based, again, on the devil, on Satan, sowing his evil, and taking us down the road to where we're slaves.
	The Democrats, Mark, this is not a joke, E-E-M-O-C, R-A-T-S, take the C, replace it with an N. They are doing the work of the devil.
	They are not the Democrats.
	They are the demon rats.
	And Attorney General William Garland, he is actively crushing the schools.
	Every parent in this country should follow your great prayer about God and go to the school board meetings and honorably but absolutely ferociously and peacefully defend our children.
	Defend this country.
	Your prayer is a beautiful guide.
	And call this out for what it is.
	Because if we don't stop the overtaking and crushing of our educational system, we are gone.
	We are on the verge of irreparably and irretrievably going over a cliff, Mark.
	That is not hyperbole.
	I appreciate it, sir.
	That is not hyperbole.
	And it's funny because the panic and conspiracy theories of 20 years ago are today's headlines.
	I've done this for a long time.
	Almost 40 years have taken calls.
	I know, right?
	And there's times through the 80s, the 90s, the aughts, whatever decade you please.
	I'll get the occasional call from somebody who goes, yeah, Mark, these Democrats, they're socialist.
	And I was going, okay, they lean in that direction, but they're not really actually socialist.
	Guess what?
	Some of them now are really actually socialist.
	I get the occasional call from somebody in the 80s, 90s, whatever.
	They would say, you know, I think some of these people are trying to destroy America as we know it.
	They just have different views and we disagree with them.
	They're not really trying to destroy America.
	Now I think there are people who are trying to destroy America as we know it.
	The extreme, you know, off-the-rails, whacked-out calls of 1988, 1998 are today's reasoned analysis.
	Because that's how bad it's gotten.
	So how did we get here?
	How did this happen?
	Tom mentioned education and how important it is.
	You know why they want our children, don't you?
	Because, and I'm going to misstate this in some way, but just to paraphrase, if you have control over what our kids are taught, all you need is time.
	And you will suddenly have every soldier you need for battle for what you're trying to do in terms of your agenda.
	Um, I believe it was Dennis himself who pointed to talking about higher education.
	One of Dennis's favorite subjects and mine and the, and the minefield that that's become, uh, He talked about the difference between, let's take Cuban-Americans.
	Cuban-Americans 30 years ago, I mean, died in the wool, conservative, and Cuban-Americans are still way more conservative than a lot of other Hispanics.
	That's why Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, not real Hispanics in the eyes of the dominant media culture and others.
	But the point being that if you take overall politics of Cuban Americans 30 years ago versus today, even the Cuban Americans have become substantially more liberal.
	How did that happen?
	How did that happen?
	Time spent by young Cuban Americans in the colleges and universities of the United States.
	And the higher education system of the United States has taken these freedom-loving, Castro-hating, clear-eyed people with an eye toward what socialism is, what communism is, and what it does, and it has melted it down and banged it down and melded it and conflated it into some of these generations and it has melted it down and banged it down and melded it and conflated it into some of these generations of So if you're able to get a hold of people starting in K through 12, oh, then they've got us.
	So our job is to not let that happen.
	So how do we do that?
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	1-8 Prager 776. Let me step out for a moment.
	Get the bottom of the hour break in and come right back to your calls and things we want to talk about on this Thursday, October 7th.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	be back in a minute streaming on Salem now the public would be outraged if they knew the truth Why do you think our politicians are not on the sidewalk right now talking to you?
	I don't have no respect.
	The old wall randomly turns into a guardrail, followed by miles of open border.
	Human trafficking guard.
	That journey is extremely dangerous.
	The seven-year-old girl died in the desert from the country of India.
	A great color of the community was killed by a man who had been deported at least twice.
	This little urn contains the ashes of my son.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Bercat.
	The last three years of the Bush administration, I was the assistant US trade rep for the Bush administration for public affairs, meaning I was just the spokesperson.
	And forever we would hear why we couldn't do things.
	We couldn't renegotiate NAFTA because, well, it was signed and sealed and we couldn't do this.
	And I get it.
	But that was the mentality.
	Frankly, that's the mentality that permeates government.
	And I get it.
	And so I was always like, okay, I get it.
	This is stupid, but we do have a signed deal.
	And you get a guy like Trump that comes in and you tell him, well, you know, there's this signed deal.
	And he says, so what?
	It was one of the most refreshing things about it.
	And it was just...
	The thing that was so weird is if you think about it, why aren't more?
	Because I don't think you should tear up everything for the sake of it.
	No, but just ask the questions.
	Right.
	Ask the questions.
	Why do we just keep doing things the way that we always have?
	Why don't we challenge the system?
	Can it do better?
	Can we do better for the American people?
	Can we be more efficient and a better steward of their tax dollars?
	Can we deliver a better product?
	Do we still need to do what we're doing anymore?
	Right?
	I mean, think about this.
	Trump's view was...
	You haven't modernized an agreement.
	When NAFTA was signed, there was no internet.
	So we're dealing with problems that didn't exist then that, frankly, when you signed the deal, you couldn't have even thought of.
	So why not modernize it?
	On behalf of America, that's what we're supposed to be doing.
	And at the end of the day, it all worked out.
	And if you are in the car industry.
	You're getting a better deal now as an American worker in that industry.
	If you're a dairy farmer, you're getting a better deal.
	If you work in the technology field, your IP is more protected.
	But it was a way of thinking that had never come in before because previously you would have had some guy that would have been like, okay, here's 18 PowerPoints and this is the process.
	And Trump was like, no, if it's not working, screw it.

	Dennis will be back to polish off your week tomorrow.
	And in the midst of some of this talk about school boards and the assault on our rights, you might find yourself thinking, what might I be able to do?
	And I happen to have an answer for you.
	For the last week, week and a half, Dennis has been inviting you to visit DennisPrager.com and help our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom, the mission of this wonderful non-profit Christian legal defense organization.
	Dennis shared some of the stories of their real-life clients who got help from ADF when their rights were being threatened.

	Look in the mirror, and there's that person.
	It's you.

	It's you.
	It's me.
	It's parents.
	It's the general public.
	And ADF is leading the fight against this outrage.
	Its general counsel, a wonderful woman named Kristen Wagner, has just called on Merrick Garland to rescind that order.
	Her, quote, parents, quote, want school boards to remove politics from the classroom and get back to academics.
	They have the right to express those concerns to elected officials and shouldn't live in fear of government punishment for doing so.
	So if you're a parent, ADF is fighting your battle.
	So help ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom, roll back this unconstitutional attempt to intimidate and silence you.
	Now more than ever, Alliance Defending Freedom.

	Listen, I called to tell you that I spent 16 years on the school board corporation.
	Our doors were...
	We're always open to any student, parent, or member of the community had something to say or issues to bring up.
	You have to listen to these people.
	They voted you into office, and they deserve to be heard.
	Now, I'm not saying get out of hand.
	I'm not saying yelling.
	But you should listen to these people.
	This is our treat.
	This is our freedom in order to speak.
	Not only, and what I'm about to say is not to bring attention to myself, but bring attention to something else like people like me.
	I've been a combat disabled veteran, Purple Heart veteran disabled, for over 57 years.
	I went to war for this, to get the freedom to speak.
	Our country is our flag.
	Our flag is our country.
	There's no difference in between that.
	Take a look at our flag.
	What do you see?
	Do you see one color?
	No.
	You see a multitude of colors, just like our country.
	These people are using these excuses and alibis to get what they want for the wrong purposes.
	John, I am honored by your story, by your testimony, by your service, and by your call.
	Thank you.
	And if you're driving around thinking, well, those are lovely platitudes.
	Yeah, because they have meaning.
	Yeah, because the flag has meaning.
	Our country has meaning.
	Our history has meaning.
	Let me give you a tiny speech on this, then we'll hit the break, come back, and take some more of your calls on whatever.
	We've got a lot going on.
	I haven't even gotten to Facebook yet.
	I haven't even gotten to the notion of social media and all this so-called whistleblower.
	We've got time.
	We've got time.
	We love our country.
	We love our country.
	History.
	We fight against these things, CRT and radicalism and activism, in the history books.
	Not because we're looking for some conservative drumbeat to be thrown into our history books, but because warts and all, we love this country, and we believe that it should be portrayed to our children as a praiseworthy, wonderful place.
	That, like a praiseworthy, wonderful person, could have some flaws, commit some sins, but deserves to be viewed more positively than negatively.
	The left wants America to be viewed as a racist hellhole so that they can use that to garner more power and garner more power for themselves and garner more authoritarian power over you.
	That's why it needs to be stopped.
	We revere our history.
	We're trying to protect our children.
	And deliver to them not some whitewashed, no pun intended, sanitized view of history, but an honest, no-holds-barred view of history that doesn't contain as part of its elements the desire to have kids hate the country and hate each other.
	That's what we're trying to do.
	And some people don't like that.

	You know, Dr. Fauci is, what's the good word, the way to say it?
	He's a creature of the media.
	And I think he kind of thrives on setting off these mini-controversies and then, in this case, trying to clarify himself afterwards.
	But he just, you know, he'll do an interview with anybody and he says all sorts of stuff.
	Well, he did an interview with me last week in which he said he'll never resign.
	See?
	He'll do an interview with anybody.
	There you go.
	Anybody.
	But he's been here many, many times.
	And I always try and give him tough questions.
	But I went through the many CDC, FDA failures.
	And they are failures.
	His noble lie about the mass, the J&J pause, the failure to do ivermectin research in a timely fashion, the failure to do research on mass on children under the age of five in a timely fashion.
	Have you lost confidence in him, Byron?
	Absolutely.
	I mean, here's the thing.
	When I want to know something, like, okay, what is the extent of breakthrough infections?
	What percentage of deaths are people who are double vaccinated or fully vaccinated?
	What percentage of hospitalizations?
	A lot of this information is rather difficult to find, in part because Fauci has not been a reliable source of the best information.
	And I think a lot of the debate that goes on, the uninformed debate that goes on, and I try not to be part of that, is as a result of the government not being a credible source of the best information.

	So you won't necessarily know the answer to this question per se, but what is the deal with Republicans?
	Because I'm sitting here thinking, what can be done?
	I mean, these people are essentially, in my mind, political prisoners, excuse me.
	And I don't understand why Republicans, when they have an opportunity to call out injustice and to get on the offense, it's just...
	This is just weird to me.
	I don't understand if Republicans, the leadership, if they're intimidated, if they don't want to go up against a black man, or if they're scared of being branded racist, I don't understand this.
	Besides the fact that, okay, they don't necessarily like Trump, we're all realizing that.
	But for the sake of the integrity of our Justice Department, you would think that more Republicans...
	Republicans gave Lisa Monaco, the deputy AG who's in charge, an Obama loyalist, a Russian collusion perp, an anti-Trumpist who was on CNN for four years.
	They gave her almost a unanimous confirmation, Carl.
	48 Republican senators voted to put Lisa Monaco, a well-known Obama loyalist, Unbelievable.
	Yeah, so, I mean, they're cowards.
	They're complicit.
	You go down the list, I don't know.
	But the real battle next year, Carl, is going to be in the Republican Party, not the Democrats.
	We need the clean house almost entirely.

	Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	I'm the morning show guy here at 660 AM The Answer in Dallas, Fort Worth.
	Glad to be here with you, slinging hot topics left, right, up and down.
	Let us return to your calls.
	We are in the fine state capital of Michigan.
	Make sure it's not Detroit.
	Thank God for that.
	It is Lansing where the state capital is.
	And Bob, it is a pleasure to have you.
	Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	How are you?
	Good, Mark, how are you doing?
	Great, thank you.
	Yeah, real quick, well, pretty soon I might need to hire the ADF now that the FBI is getting involved.
	A couple things prior to that, I've attended several of our local school board meetings, and I've always been very respectful in airing my views.
	Maybe they don't like the couple t-shirts I had made up.
	Okay.
	All right.
	So while you are taking just the proper tone, what might one of the t-shirts have said?
	Well, one of them, it says on the front, got the backs, why the mask?
	And then on the back, it says, come on, man, give me a break.
	Okay.
	And the other t-shirt is...
	On the front, it's got big letters, CRT equals corrupting reality totally.
	There is nothing the matter with that.
	I was fearful of the t-shirts.
	I wanted to make sure that the t-shirts passed muster.
	They absolutely do.
	You may proceed.
	Yeah, and then on the back of the CRT shirt, it's got a picture of the famous Mad Magazine, Alfred E. Newman.
	Alfred, what do you worry?
	Absolutely.
	Okay, cool on the shirts.
	Proceed.
	Yeah.
	So anyways, the point is, you know, after at least three of the meetings that I've attended, and I love it, the school board, they're all masked up and they got their plexiglass and this, that.
	They're not totally distant.
	But I have been followed home at least three times.
	Followed home?
	Yeah, you know, when I pull in the driveway, you know, they keep going.
	But, you know, you notice when the same vehicle's on your bus, and everyone lives less than a mile from where they're born.
	Do you recognize, because it's kind of funny, out of every ten people who think they're being followed, like, half of them are not, so how do you know, or is it, you know, I'm not...
	How do you know?
	No, it's...
	A noticeable vehicle.
	It's not your run-in-the-mill there, ironically.
	Let's see, I think.
	What makes the vehicle...
	Lexuses, and one was, I don't know, I want to say a BMW. Well, in that case, it might have been me.
	I'm just saying, look, I don't know.
	Has anybody at the school board or anybody in the community ever taken issue with you or ever gotten sideways with you about anything that you've brought to a meeting in terms of subject matter you wanted to address?
	Yeah, there was one school board, you know, who I found it on Facebook, and I didn't miss it a minute when it went down the other day.
	And, you know, he's made some, of course, not on the public page.
	You know, nothing terrible, but you're an idiot.
	That's every day on Facebook.
	I get it.
	I tell you what, if, you know, for anybody that feels, it's, what's the old saying?
	Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
	And I'm not suggesting the gentleman is making stuff up.
	It depends, though.
	I'd keep the bar pretty high for the notion of being followed home.
	In fact, honestly, in the era of Facebook, we don't have to follow anybody home anymore.
	We can harass you from our iPhones.
	And I think that's why I asked about the T-shirts, too, is because if we're keeping our tone...
	Within, you know, within the boundaries, and I know you may be asking, well, okay, talk show boy, what are the boundaries?
	They may differ from person to person.
	I mean, there's some things that we all know, and anything profane, anything threatening, obviously don't do that.
	Gentleman's sloganeering on his shirts basically revealed what he had to say about a couple issues, and it does suggest, if you're, honestly, maybe a piece of advice.
	I don't know.
	I don't want to take the spirit of adventure away from it, but maybe dress like a normal person.
	I'm going to offer the following free advice here.
	If you're not sporting a t-shirt that suggests that you're spoiling for a skirmish, maybe your actual words, if you've just got a nice shirt, a little blazer, a little Michigan State shirt or something up there in Lansing or whatever you want to find, You might get taken a little more seriously, and it shows that you're not just out to, you know, throw flame or score points.
	Just a thought, just a thought.
	Because there's this philosophy that is banging around in my head all the time.
	Play hard, but play smart.
	And please, I don't mean to make too much out of it.
	If you want to wear a big glowing hat, you know, with CRT and a red slash through it, knock yourself out.
	But I'm going to suggest that if you show up in a business-like fashion, because this is business, it's the business of government, but if you show up in a business-like, rational fashion, and you let your words do the talking, and deliver them with passion, and propriety, and measure, but not lacking any passion, you might do better.
	You might do better.
	And I know that I sometimes hear people talking to me through the headphones when they're not even talking to me.
	It's like, yeah, Mark, but the other side doesn't view those rules of civility.
	They don't observe.
	They don't walk those lines of propriety.
	I know.
	Let's be better than they are.
	We're not the people who chase you into the bathroom.
	And badger you like what happened to Kyrsten Sinema for not being radical liberal enough.
	That's not us.
	That's not our jam.
	That's not our game.
	That's not our game.
	It's not what we do.
	Play hard.
	Play smart.
	Do both at the same time.
	It is.

	How are you doing?
	You know, Mark, great show.
	I agree with a lot of the points about the woke and everything.
	But there's a hidden agenda.
	It's a stepped-up in basis removal.
	That's a confiscatory tax.
	Can you imagine all the foreclosures across the country?

	They're banning this idea because the Democrats want to steal that idea.
	We know it.
	They steal all the good ideas because they want absolute power.
	They have these agendas with Blackstone Realty, Warren Buffet.
	They want to seize property.
	They're not going to be real commies.
	This is a harvesting.
	And Biden's in on it.
	Well, let me do the following, Robert.
	Let me do the following.
	First of all, I wish you good health, and you manage very well in view of respiratory challenges.
	I wish you good health, good recovery.
	I want to thank you for a possible talk show record of perhaps as many as 11 topics in one 90-second phone call.
	You are a trained professional.

	Appreciate it.

	Top that, America.
	Back after the top of the hour.
	Sit tight.
	Let's break your show.
	and a nod campaign, David Drucker.
	Trump, talked out of announcing a 2024 bid for now, settles on a wink and a nod on official candidacy.
	What do you make of the headline?
	Well, it's some good reporting, but Trump has been running a wink and a nod candidacy since the day he left the White House.
	Pretty clear to me when I interviewed him for the book in May that he was interested in running again.
	He asked me, why do people think I'm not running?
	I said, who says you're not running?
	Let's just talk about other people that may run if you don't, which I finally got him to agree to do.
	How long did that take?
	You know, about three and a half hours.
	Yeah, I mean, you got to...
	I got him there.
	So, I was told yesterday by a confidant of the former president that he is going to run, and that if he changes his mind because of health, but he looks in great shape, if he does run, he's going to destroy anyone who runs against him.
	I mean, just take them out at the knees and turn on them.
	And if he doesn't run, he'll be supportive of them, hoping to freeze them for a while.
	Consistent with your understanding?
	Yeah, well, look, first of all, we know that any time he's in a campaign, he tries to take people out at the knees.
	Again, nothing new.
	I think the thing to understand about President Trump, former President Trump, is that he loves being in the arena.
	He loves holding his big rallies.
	He hasn't tired of politics.
	He didn't want to retire from politics.
	And unlike presidents in the past who have lost, he's simply not going to do so.
	There is this question of, is America becoming a safer country?
	or a more dangerous country.
	So Merrick Garland did not issue a memo.

	You notice every election cycle, the left will blow up, the media will blow up a story about a black man or whatever.
	Maybe it's an issue with cops or whatever it may be, but you have to understand something.
	And I'm not saying these...
	Stories like George Floyd and all this kind of stuff shouldn't be brought to light.
	But you have to understand the reason why they're brought to light isn't because they happen all the time.
	Because police have millions of stops and deal with, you know, they have millions of confrontations with criminals and none every single year.
	So when something like a George Floyd incident makes it onto the news, it's not because it's normative.

	The last three years of the Bush administration, I was the assistant U.S. trade rep for the Bush administration for public affairs, meaning I was just the spokesperson.
	And forever we would hear why we couldn't do things.
	We couldn't renegotiate NAFTA because, well, it was signed and sealed and we couldn't do this.
	And I get it.
	But that was the mentality.
	Frankly, that's the mentality that permeates government.
	And I get it.
	And so I was always like, okay, I get it.
	This is stupid, but we do have a signed deal.
	And you get a guy like Trump that comes in and you tell him, well, you know, there's this signed deal.
	And he says, so what?
	It was one of the most refreshing things about it.
	And it was just...
	The thing that was so weird is if you think about it, why aren't more?
	Because I don't think you should tear up everything for the sake of it.
	No, but just ask the questions.
	Right.
	Ask the questions.
	Why do we just keep doing things the way that we always have?
	Why don't we challenge the system?
	Can it do better?
	Can we do better for the American people?
	Can we be more efficient and a better steward of their tax dollars?
	Can we deliver a better product?
	Do we still need to do what we're doing anymore?
	Right?
	I mean, think about this.
	Trump's view was.
	You haven't modernized an agreement.
	When NAFTA was signed, there was no internet.
	So we're dealing with problems that didn't exist then that, frankly, when you signed the deal, you couldn't have even thought of.
	So why not modernize it?
	On behalf of America, that's what we're supposed to be doing.
	And at the end of the day, it all worked out.
	And if you are in the car industry...
	You're getting a better deal now as an American worker in that industry.
	If you're a dairy farmer, you're getting a better deal.
	If you work in the technology field, your IP is more protected.
	But it was a way of thinking that had never come in before because previously you would have had some guy that would have been like, okay, here's 18 PowerPoints and this is the process.

	Hope everybody's good.
	Little Huey Lewis in the News to kick us off for hour number two.
	Welcome, or welcome back, as the case may be.
	In our first hour, we spent a lot of time talking about school board skirmishes and how to play hard, play smart, and move through those.
	You better be smart, and by that I mean you better not be blind to exactly what's going on here.
	The Biden administration...
	Through Attorney General, through Radical Attorney General Merrick Garland.
	And remember, they tried to soft-pedal him.
	They tried to sugarcoat this guy as the oh-so-decent, just somewhat left-of-center Supreme Court candidate.
	Thank God, Mitch McConnell, that we dodged that bullet.
	So here's the AG in his memo telling the FBI various We need to rope in local police, local communities, local sheriffs in order to make sure that we can keep an eye on you.
	That you don't get out of hand.
	Now look, and again for the 437th time, if somebody really does threaten a school board member, of course you don't do that.
	If somebody does get You know, break the law beyond the pale at a school board meeting?
	Of course you don't do that.
	But hey, whom do you call if that happens?
	The answer is local police.
	There's no reason whatsoever for the FBI to, and listen, doesn't the FBI have enough on its plate like repairing its own damaged image?
	So let's let local police and local authorities handle whatever degree of serious mischief arises at school board meetings, a phenomenon which has been wildly exaggerated.
	Find me stories of actual violence.
	Find me stories of actual threats of violence.
	They are incredibly rare.
	They're like Jeb Bush supporters.
	Incredibly rare.
	To whatever extent they exist, local cops, they pretty well got this.
	So a lot of our first hour was just to make sure that you know that this is an attempt to make sure that pesky patriots, that inconvenient parents with their righteous indignation, that they don't spoil the party, that they don't interfere with the indoctrination that they have in mind for us.

	And if you read that letter, or the memo from Attorney General Garland, it is filled with the usual kind of straw man deceptions that authoritarians use in order to shoehorn their way into your life.
	The notion of violence, that the threats of violence, it's something we take very seriously.
	Well, who doesn't?
	There are no waves of violence or threats of violence in any number that should rankle the hallways of the Department of Justice in Washington.
	So why are they concerned?
	Because they're scared of you.
	Showing up at your local school board to say no more CRT, no more critical race theory, no more mask mandates, if that is your wish, and they're scared to death of you.
	Teachers unions, they can't believe that their will is being thwarted by real parents.
	It's like, whoa, where'd these people come from?
	Because forever, that's how we got this, by the way.
	People didn't pay attention to the local school board.
	People didn't, local races, eh.
	Pay attention to president, congress, governor, stuff like that, which obviously we should pay attention to.
	When it gets to school board, eh, school board, eh.
	See where that got us?
	Being asleep at the switch?
	Well, we have awakened.
	Boy, have we awakened.
	So in response to this Attorney General's memo, I want you to show up twice as numerous as you usually do.
	Polite, calm, civil, within the rules, passionate but disciplined.
	Show up in even greater numbers.
	Do it.
	And in your community, make sure that your local police Do not partner up with this White House in any way to be a part of some network of informants designed to silence or intimidate or maybe even criminalize the righteous indignation of parents.
	Make sure that your local police...
	Again, I'm not looking for the local police to go, you know, screw you, Biden, and hang up the phone.
	I don't mean that.
	If they want to, they can, but I'm looking for them to politely decline this offer from the federal government to join up with them, to partner with them just to make sure we don't have things get out of hand here in River City or wherever you may happen to live.
	There's a reason this is going on.
	There's a reason this is going on.
	The education of our children has always been a fertile battlefield.
	And they thought they were going to get away with this.
	They're learning otherwise.
	And they're getting testy.
	So, alright.
	1-8 Prager 776. 1-8 Prager 776. We've talked about just a wide variety of things also in the first hour.
	We had a school shooting about 15 minutes from where I'm sitting right now.
	And in a way, it kicks in the usual school shooting subjects.
	I was surprised.
	I mean, we didn't have anybody die, which I'm very grateful for, obviously.
	But I popped on the cable news channels in the middle of the afternoon, just kind of see what's going on.
	And Fox News, CNN, MSNBC are all doing our school shooting.
	And I guess it was they hadn't found the kid.
	We had a kid on the run.
	We had a suspect at large.
	Maybe that adds to the sexiness of it.
	I don't know.
	But then I got to thinking, it's Texas.
	And they want to portray us, especially with having passed constitutional carry, permitless carry.
	Can't have people having those Second Amendment rights unfettered now, can we?
	I think they want to stigmatize those of us here in the Lone Star State as some crazy Wild West where you're in huge danger.
	Yeah, not so much.
	1-8 Prager 776. We are in Orlando.
	Hey, Max.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How are you?
	Happy Thursday.
	Happy Thursday, Mark, and thank you for taking my call.
	I will cover all the topics you've said.
	I have an accent, you probably guessed that, not originally from this country, and I must declare originally I'm from Scotland.
	I'm a former teacher.
	I also work in higher education over there.
	I am a legal alien.
	Took me eight years.
	I followed everything in the book, paid all the money, and I am thankful.
	and honored every day to be allowed to be in this beautiful country.
	Honored to me.
	Thank you very much.
	I am concerned by what I see, but I have a different perspective from having lived abroad, but I was just listening to this country.
	So I can tell you I'm proud, pleased, when you're talking for restraint, respect.
	Just do the right thing.
	Don't behave like the others.
	But, unfortunately, having seen what happens in Britain, I would say it is a generalization, but the party of the Democratic Party has advocated violence in pursuit of its agenda. but the party of the Democratic Party has advocated violence there.
	On the Salem show, you have played on different elements of it various direct quotes from Right.
	Well, let me slice and dice for a minute, because advocate has a meaning.
	So the actual, the famous quote is Maxine Waters, get up in their face.
	If you see one of these people, like anybody associated with Trump, you make sure you let them know they're not welcome.
	That is absolute advocacy.
	From the Vice President to others, and this is a small distinction, but probably an important one.
	It may not be so much advocacy as turning a blind eye and seeming tolerant.
	I mean, these are people who do not care in the least about a Black Lives Matter riot, do not care in the least about Antifa violence, but are honed and ready to go the minute somebody looks at a school board member crosswise.
	It's a selective difference of attention.
	I absolutely agree with you 100%.
	In fact, I come from a country who can tell you when there was an insurrection.
	And it was when a country was not listened to.
	And was totally ignored.
	And took arms!
	I'm building them all completely!
	And that's why we have a wonderful U.S. event.
	Yes, well, the country is better for you in it, and I am so very, very grateful.
	So, if things are...
	And I think last time we were together, we talked about the pendulum swinging.
	Things may get worse before they get better.
	They will get worse.
	These people are still running the country, and they'll do whatever they can.
	But here comes 2022. Here comes 2024. Let's let our next insurrection, thank you, be at the ballot box, shall we?
	Who's with me?

	It's almost too much.
	There's just so much, I don't know, well, in Dennis' case is wisdom, and in Bob's case, at least I can understand what he's saying, so I'm grateful for that.
	All right, hey, glad you can understand what I'm saying.
	Sitting here filling in for Dennis today.
	Dennis is back tomorrow.
	Our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom, you can understand what they say.
	They are fighting for your rights.
	You've heard ADF fighting when certain business people...
	Are getting sued or having laws come down because they're trying to exercise their religious freedom.
	They're all about those things.
	But now ADF is all about some of the battles that we're talking about right here today and some of these school board skirmishes when the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's offices are convening meetings and considering actions against people whom they say pose a threat to public schools and local school officials.
	Well, they're talking about us.
	Those of us who care about these issues, and I can't imagine anything worse, I mean, short of some violent crime, anything ideologically, attitudinally worse than being branded as a domestic terrorist.
	That'll mess up your day and your life.
	So Alliance Defending Freedom is going to bat for some people.
	Parents just like you have been showing up at school board meetings, and they're leading the fight against this outrage.
	And so let me send you to them.
	And the way to do that is DennisPrager.com DennisPrager.com and click the Alliance Defending Freedom banner.
	Give a little click there.
	Boom!
	You can send them $100 or more.
	Don't have $100?
	Got $25?
	We'll take it.
	Thank you.
	And it all goes into a big pile.
	And Alliance Defending Freedom will then use those resources, which are so grateful to you for, and fight for our rights.

	And we are in Chicago.
	And Tom, that is you.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Welcome.
	How are you doing?
	Hi, Mark.
	Nice to talk to you.
	Hi.
	I hear your tete-a-tete with Mike Gallagher.
	I listen to him every morning.
	Hey, thanks.
	Appreciate that.
	So, Mark, a couple quick points.
	Number one, in reference to what you're talking about with the school boards, it's come out in the last day or two that Merrick Garland's daughter is married to a man who is supplying the information that will feed this CRT. And, you know, I don't know what the express facts of that are.
	But the reason not to get sidetracked on my point is these people are...
	I completely understand and appreciate your argument of fighting these people with words in suits and ties.
	There was an old 80s movie called Mississippi Burning.
	It's a story of civil rights and...
	Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe.
	Classic.
	Yeah, Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe.
	And Willem Dafoe, I believe, as agents, both their names are Anderson, and Willem Dafoe implores Gene Hackman not to drag him into his sewer, to which Gene Hackman replies, these people are from the sewer.
	Maybe that's where we need to be fighting them.
	And Willem Dafoe walks away under...
	The admission that what he's saying is the truth.
	And, yes, do these people need to be fought in the courtroom?
	They do, but they need to be fought in the city streets as well, sir, because...
	Can I judge, I guess, since rhetoric, and what exactly...
	Oh, man, I'm so on board for the fight, and I love the fight, and I love the passion.
	What exactly are you talking about when you talk about that we need to take after them in the streets, please?
	So, like, in reference to Kristen...
	I saw some on Twitter earlier where some, you know, they referred to them as anti-vaxxers.
	They were protesting at a school board, and they were trying to come with the evidence, Mark, that children are not susceptible to this, that children are not transmitters of this.
	And that's what I mean, where these people need to be, but not following in the bathrooms.
	I'm not saying we should.
	Oh, okay.
	And so I'm saying that these leftists are winning the day right now.
	I think it's hard to argue that.
	Actually, I think it's very possible to argue that.
	It's been true for most of our lives, maybe, or intermittently more time than not true.
	But with Biden's popularity crumbling, occasional Democrats saying, I don't think I'm on board for this entire agenda.
	With it looking like a wave election, perhaps, and please, no jinxes, in 2022 and 2024, and I don't think that means that we could be comfortable or rest on laurels or let up, but I think it means that through fighting hard and fighting smart, and I love the usage that we need to show up in ties.
	You can show up and wear whatever you want.
	I'm just looking.
	I have no recommendations, specifically, as to how you bring the passion, as to how you make your point.
	I always want it to be legally, Short of threats.
	One of the oldest index cards in the strategy pile is don't give the other side something to beat your brains in with.
	Don't give the other side a reason to criticize your methodology.
	And, oh yeah, well they do it too.
	That's very third grade.
	And I love the Mississippi Burning Line as much as anybody and I kind of know what...
	What Gene Hackman's talking about in mid-60s Mississippi.
	But we're in 2021 America that contains the ability, if we fight hard and fight smart and stay on it and, pardon this usage everybody, pursue things in a Christ-like way?
	You think Jesus was a wimp?
	You think that he was weak or spineless in the way he fought his battles?
	He fought with passion.
	People knew where he stood.
	He was bold and courageous every day.
	And yet, did it in a godly fashion, by definition.
	So, think about the way you fight.
	And make sure that your passions, and maybe many of them come from faith, which is great.
	Make sure that you're not letting some dark frustration get a hold of you.
	Where you wind up doing more harm than good to the cause.
	That's all.
	That's all.

	In an upbeat, optimistic tone, it's basically an issue-by-issue manual on how to go after the left, make points, not, you know, lose your mind, and make your points and do them effectively in a way that, because here's the thing, here's the key, in a way that attracts people.
	When we're sitting here trying to win these battles, we can't just make ourselves happy, boy, he really gave it to him, he really kicked somebody in the crotch, yeah!
	We need to do things in ways that attract people, where they go, you know what, not only did that guy make good points, But he seemed like a reasonable, affable, decent soul.

	us right back focus on building a simple business model that can generally trending now on the hugh hewitt show
	Because there is a Washington Post story out that Trump is running a wink and a nod campaign, David Drucker.
	Trump, talked out of announcing a 2024 bid for now, settles on a wink and a nod on official candidacy.
	What do you make of the headline?
	Well, it's some good reporting, but Trump has been running a wink and a nod candidacy since the day he left the White House.
	Pretty clear to me when I interviewed him for the book in May that he was interested in running again.
	He asked me, why do people think I'm not running?
	I said, who says you're not running?
	Let's just talk about other people that may run if you don't, which I finally got him to agree to do.
	How long did that take?
	You know, about three and a half hours.
	Yeah, I mean, you got to...
	I got him there.
	So, I was told yesterday by a confidant of the former president that he is going to run and that if he changes his mind because of health, but that he looks in great shape, if he does run, he's going to destroy anyone who runs against him.
	I mean, just take them out at the knees and turn on them.
	And if he doesn't run, he'll be supportive of them, hoping to freeze them for a while.
	Consistent with your understanding?
	Yeah, well, look, first of all, we know that any time he's in a campaign, he tries to take people out at the knees.
	Again, nothing new.
	I think the thing to understand about President Trump, former President Trump, is that he loves being in the arena.
	He loves holding his big rallies.
	He hasn't tired of politics.
	He didn't want to retire from politics.
	And unlike presidents in the past who have lost, he's simply not going to do so.

	And the left just reels you in.
	Oh, this person is racist.
	Oh, this person is homophobic.
	Oh, this person is xenophobic.

	It's amazing to me how the left gets away with this stuff.
	And it's amazing to me how so many people continuously fall for it.
	You notice every election cycle, the left will blow up, the media will blow up a story about a black man or whatever.
	Maybe it's an issue with cops or whatever it may be, but you have to understand something.
	And I'm not saying these stories like George Floyd and all this kind of stuff shouldn't be brought to light, but you have to understand the reason why they're brought to light isn't because they happen all the time.
	Because police have millions of stops and deal with, you know, They have millions of confrontations with criminals and none every single year.
	So when something like a George Floyd incident makes it onto the news, it's not because it's normative.
	It's because it's extremely rare.

	Hope you are well.
	And speaking of our wonderful local area around here and all this school board talk that we're involved in at the moment, there's one local community that fought back against CRT and a number of other things and had some school board elections.
	Go in a direction that showed that this community was not going to take this line down.
	And now they're being vilified for it.
	And that would be a community maybe you've heard of.
	And that is Southlake, Texas.
	And Chuck is there.
	Welcome, sir.
	Nice to have you.
	Mark Davis in for games.
	Thanks for having me.
	Sure.
	It's great to talk to you.
	Yeah, if anybody is looking for where the war is, then Ground Zero is not playing practice, and we are literally getting hammered right now by NBC and other media offices on the liberal side, because we won.
	We did a clean sweep from the school board, city council, and the mayor, a 70-30 vote this past, beginning of summer.
	And now we are in the fight of our lives for this next Is there anybody you'd like to...
	Anybody you want to throw a shout-out to specifically?
	Do we have someone who's walking the point for us in this regard?
	100%.
	There are two school board candidates.
	Andrew Yeager is by far the best candidate.
	He is the one that needs to unify this town.
	His opponent is Stephanie Williams, who claims to be center, but she's absolutely not.
	And if anybody looks up Andrew Yeager for school board in Southlake, anything you can do to help us, or for southlakefamilies.org.
	Let me ask two things, because you mentioned NBC News.
	Man, they put together an entire podcast about you.
	And it is called Southlake.
	Meant to be in some, like, Salem's lot.
	Meant to be in some daunting, foreboding kind of way.
	As if Southlake is some racist hellhole filled with, you know, skinheads looking to, you know, teach the kids that slavery, eh, not so bad.
	It is a damnable pack of lies.
	And at NBC, a couple of the reporters that did this thing, they were chortling about it on the Today Show.
	They were so...
	Oh, tell us more about this town.
	And they talked about going into Southlake like they're walking on the surface of Mars amid these creatures that we don't understand.
	It is a complete vilification of Southlake, and good for y'all for fighting back.
	Yes, thank you so much.
	My pleasure, you bet.
	And by the way, this is what lies ahead for your town.
	This is what lies ahead for your town.
	Because, listen, showing up at school board, And having a wonderful 60-second speech or however much they give you before they cut your mic off, that is great.
	Use your content well.
	Use it wisely.
	As I've said, fight hard, fight smart.
	Some of you, you know what some of you need to do?
	That's great, but talking to some of these school boards is like talking to a wall.
	What you may need to do is not just go talk to the school board, but run for the school board.
	And I know this is an extra measure.
	It's some heavy lifting we're talking about here.
	But that is exactly what is called for.
	Because with us not paying attention, look what we have.
	Because with us not paying attention, it is the teachers' unions and the activists, and the left has been good at this for a long time.
	And we're just starting to get good at it.
	We're just getting warmed up.
	And getting warmed up...
	And heating up our fight hard, fight smart battles involves stepping into the strike zone, taking one for the team.
	It involves stepping up and running for school board so that you can be part of the policy making rather than the people who have taken us down this rat hole of CRT and mask mandates.
	Now look, as you step into the marketplace, if you live in a largely conservative community, maybe your chances are pretty good.
	If you live in a really liberal community, maybe you're really shoveling sand against the tide.
	But do it anyway, because you will be fighting the good fight.
	You'll be saying things and asserting things and entering into the marketplace of ideas so that people can understand that there are various sides to this.
	The gentleman used a term that I want to examine for a moment.
	He talked about a particular candidate who can quote-unquote unify.
	That's not going to happen.
	I don't want you to care about unifying.
	Unifying is a myth.
	I want you to win.
	No matter who wins, there are going to be people who are happy and people who are not.
	So I'm going to unify.
	I'm going to bring everybody together.
	No one can do that.
	Reagan didn't do it.
	Trump didn't do it.
	JFK didn't do it.
	Biden...
	Lord knows Biden didn't do it.
	So stop this silly talk of unity.
	We are a country.
	We are a society.
	You live in a city where people...
	Believe things over here.
	Believe things over there.
	Which, by the way, is fine.
	We're going to have winners do the winning.
	Losers do the losing.
	Let's have our side prevail.

	1-8-Prager-776.
	We are in Joliet, Illinois.
	Anthony, hey, Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	How are you?
	I'm great, Mark.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	My pleasure.
	I wanted to point out something.
	A lot of my friends, because I'm pretty active locally, they'll say, why would school boards promote CRT, sex ed, and all this far-left perspective in our schools?
	And I always point him to a quote of Lennon, and he said, give me just one generation of youth, and I'll transform the whole world.
	Of course.
	And that is exactly a good reference point for why they want to do this.
	Of course.
	Why is the left interested in today's eight-year-olds?
	Because in 13 years, they're going to vote.
	And they want loyal.
	That's the reason they're interested in waves of a needy underclass pouring across our southern border.
	So they can be normalized, legalized, naturalized, and then energized for decades of loyal Democrat voting.
	Push the left agenda.
	I do have another funny thing to share.
	My wife ran for school board in our area twice.
	It was a very frustrating experience both times.
	But what was interesting, the teachers union, the state teachers union and education association, they put out over a dozen mailers each election period asking their employees in the school district, pick anybody except her.
	Oh, I hope she wore that like a badge of honor.
	That makes me like her and I haven't even met her.
	That is tremendous, man.
	Thank you, Anthony.
	Appreciate it.
	We're in Santa Ana, California.
	Bonnie, Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How are you doing?
	Hey, Bonnie.
	Oh, Sonny, I'm sorry.
	I'm old and blind.
	Hey, Sonny, welcome.
	How are you doing?
	Oh, I'm doing fine.
	Good.
	I just want to comment.
	I don't know.
	This should be on all the airwaves.
	I don't know why it's not, but there's been a whistleblower, a 10-year worker, employed for Pfizer, and she discovered that there is, in fact, this fetal tissue in the vaccine, and they're not reporting it.
	So she explained this out there, and they actually admitted it and said that, well, you know, Well, how does she know?
	How does this so-called whistleblower know some deep, dark secret that is beyond what?
	I mean, there are fetal cell lines.
	We've talked about this ad nauseum.
	From back in the day, or was there some abortion in 1968 that we learned something from and that still has benefit today?
	I mean, listen, if somebody wants to be a real hardliner about this, they can.
	I don't think anybody's a bigger hardliner about this than, like, the Pope.
	The Pope says, do it.
	So I think this whole fetal thing, we know what we know.
	I have no idea if this particular whistleblower brings...
	Anything new to the table?
	What's different about what this person offers, and how do we know that she is right?
	Well, the thing is that they are denying it in all their literature and everything.
	So that is suspect to me.
	Once you start lying, you know...
	Well, how do you know they're lying?
	How do you know they are lying?
	Well, she has letters and transcripts of all that she's putting out on the media.
	I don't know, dude.
	I mean, I got to be really honest.
	They're such a, and God love them, because I talk to them every day.
	There is an energized, torqued-off anti-vax community out there that if this whistleblower had something, I think you'd be blasted from the highest rooftops.
	So it's kind of like a law of physics, you know?
	Listen, everybody just get the shot if you want to.
	If you don't want to, don't.
	And that's Liberty busting out all over.

	Brent!
	Hey!
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How are you?
	Hello, Mark.
	God bless you for being so sublimely simple.
	I have no idea what that means, but thank you, I guess.
	I don't mean simplistic.
	I mean simple in your reason and your logic and your love.
	I'm profoundly embarrassed and ashamed and disappointed in so many of my Jewish and Christian brothers and sisters who quietly and cowardly are surrendering to the evil ones who demand to outlaw our Bible, our Constitution, the Ten Commandments, and the Bill of Rights.
	Okay, well, that's pretty broad.
	So I'll tell you what, with a couple of minutes, let's hone down on something really specific.
	What's a development that has raised your eyebrow that sort of sparks this lament really specifically?
	Well, what you were talking about today is sending our children to these abusive schools that are teaching them to be bigots and racism with CRT, which I call communist race terror, and also teaching them sexual positions and lifestyles.
	It's just the pedophilia in the schools that we even will allow our children to walk through those doors.
	To these satanic and sadistic schools.
	Just don't let them go there.
	Teach them at home if you have to.
	Well, there's a reason why there is a big uptick in homeschooling.
	There is a reason why a lot of people are scraping together whatever scratch they can to send your kids to a religious school down the street rather than the public school down the street.
	And it breaks my heart.
	I am a product of the Prince George's County, Maryland public schools.
	This stuff wasn't going on then.
	I mean, was it perfect?
	Nope.
	Was it ideologically tilted in some way, being the People's Republic of Maryland?
	I'm guessing it was.
	But by and large, it wasn't as craven, as blatant, as obvious as it is now.
	And this really is just kind of another example of a recurring theme today, and that is that we've been asleep at the switch.
	Teachers unions, the left and some of its other tentacles, have gotten a hold of education.
	And we've let it happen.
	And now, maybe just now only now, our eyes being opened and our parents being energized, and as these parents head into school board meetings, and if a couple of them are a little beyond the pale, and if anybody's doing anything illegal or threatening or violent, oh, nobody advocates that.
	But the thing that they really fear is the smart, energized, Competent, skilled communicators stepping forth from the ranks of parents and the community who are stepping forward to say, enough.
	They're terrified.
	You can tell.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Be right back.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt show.
	Because there is a Washington Post story out that Trump is running a wink and a nod campaign, Trump, talked out of announcing a 2024 bid for now, settles on a wink and a nod on official candidacy.
	What do you make of the headline?
	Well, it's some good reporting, but, you know, Trump has been running a wink and a nod candidacy since the day he left the White House.
	Pretty clear to me when I interviewed him for the book in May that he was interested in running again.
	He asked me, why do people think I'm not running?
	I said, who says you're not running?
	Let's just talk about other people that may run if you don't, which I finally got him to agree to do.
	How long did that take?
	You know, about three and a half hours.
	Yeah, I mean, you got to...
	I got him there.
	So, I was told yesterday by a confidant of the former president that he is going to run and that if he changes his mind because of health, but that he looks in great shape.
	If he does run, he's going to destroy anyone who runs against him.
	I mean, just take them out at the knees and turn on them.
	And if he doesn't run, he'll be supportive of them, hoping to freeze them for a while.
	Consistent with your understanding?
	Yeah, well, look, first of all, we know that any time he's in a campaign, he tries to take people out at the knees.
	Again, nothing new.
	I think the thing to understand about President Trump, former President Trump, is that he loves being in the arena.
	He loves holding his big rallies.
	He hasn't tired of politics.
	He didn't want to retire from politics.
	And unlike presidents in the past who have lost, he's simply not going to do so.
	There is this question of, is America becoming a safer country?
	or a more dangerous country.

	I always say that, and it's always true.

	All righty, 1-8 Prager-776, and we are in Columbus, Ohio.

	Where'd he go?
	There we go.
	Hey, Rich.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How you doing?
	Hey, good afternoon.
	Hi.
	I'm Rich from Columbus, Ohio.
	So I hear.
	Yes, sir.
	I just want to make a comment.
	I heard a caller calling and said something about they're teaching CRT in the public school system.
	Right.
	And as far as I know, of all of my research, I don't think they're teaching CRT. Why not?
	Because...
	CRT is a collegiate-level topic, and it's usually...
	You're reading very old things.
	It had its hatching, its origins at sort of the college level, but now in high school curriculum, after high school curriculum, even down into middle schools and below...
	Things that separate kids out and look at them through entitlement and the lens of race, systemic racism, etc., etc.
	It is infecting every level of K-12.
	Glad to be of service.
	I don't agree with that.
	I'm sorry.
	We're entitled to our own opinions.
	We're not entitled to our own facts.
	What I've just told you is...
	Factually true.
	I don't want to overstate it.
	I mean, it's not in every classroom, not at all.
	But we're on to this, and we're making sure that it doesn't spread any farther than it currently does.
	And in fact, irrespective of how pervasive or not it may be, do you sense that there are people who want to...
	Inculcate in today's kids some notion of the 1619 Project, some notion of systemic racism, that today's black kids face all kinds of challenges from the evil white kids sitting next to them.
	You don't sense that that's kind of in the breeze?
	From what I know, not at all, sir.
	Then you don't know much.
	Not at all, sir.
	I love you, then you don't know much.
	No, I know.
	No, you just don't.
	I'm sorry.
	I mean, you know.
	Sprout some eyes, look around, talk to some people outside your bubble.
	Because again, my responsibility is not to overstate it.
	Not to suggest that no matter what school you walk into, no matter what town you're in, you will find CRT banners in the third grade.
	You're going to find it everywhere.
	I'm never going to say that.
	And it's so funny because a lot of people say it's like voting irregularities.
	Well, it's not pervasive.
	It's not monstrous voter fraud.
	Well, guess what?
	We're going to nuke it before it gets any worse.
	How about that?
	How about that?
	And people are terrified that we're onto them.

	The last three years of the Bush administration, I was the assistant US trade rep for the Bush administration for public affairs, meaning I was just the spokesperson.
	And forever, we would hear why we couldn't do things.
	We couldn't renegotiate NAFTA because, well, it was signed and sealed and we couldn't do this.
	And I get it.
	But that was the mentality.
	Frankly, that's the mentality that permeates government.
	And I get it.
	And so I was always like, OK, I get it.
	This is stupid.
	But we do have a signed deal.
	And you got a guy like Trump that comes in, and you tell him, well, you know, there's this signed deal, and he says, so what?
	It was one of the most refreshing things about it.
	And it was just, the thing that was so weird is, if you think about it, why aren't more, because...
	I don't think you should tear up everything for the sake of it.
	No, but just ask the questions.
	Right.
	Ask the questions.
	Why do we just keep doing things the way that we always have?
	Why don't we challenge the system?
	Can it do better?
	Can we do better for the American people?
	Can we be more efficient and a better steward of their tax dollars?
	Can we deliver a better product?
	Do we still need to do what we're doing anymore?
	Right?
	I mean, think about this.
	Trump's view was...
	You haven't modernized an agreement.
	When NAFTA was signed, there was no internet.
	So we're dealing with problems that didn't exist then that, frankly, when you signed the deal, you couldn't have even thought of.
	So why not modernize it?
	On behalf of America, that's what we're supposed to be doing.
	And at the end of the day, it all worked out.
	And if you are in the car industry… You're getting a better deal now as an American worker in that industry.
	If you're a dairy farmer, you're getting a better deal.

	I don't understand if Republicans, the leadership, if they're intimidated, if they don't want to go up against a black man, or if they're scared of being branded racist, I don't understand this.
	Besides the fact that, okay, they don't necessarily like Trump, we're all realizing that.

	School shootings.
	We had one not 20 minutes from where I'm sitting yesterday, and some of the coverage of it and one of the offshoots of this might take up a little talk show time this hour.
	If I get a chance to get to it, I want to take care of a lot of folks who've been waiting online.
	And speaking of Texas news, because everything we do makes news nationwide, an Obama district judge has suspended, for the moment, our heartbeat law.
	That dares to protect the unborn once a heartbeat is detected.
	So Planned Parenthood rubbing its ghoulish hands together with glee, getting ready to ramp up the carnage once again for as long as they can before an appeals court slaps this down again.
	Please, let's get this to the Supreme Court so that Roe v.
	Wade can be overturned.
	And for the 20th time, just right here on this show, I know I've made this point.
	Not because I'm pro-life.
	Not because you're pro-life, not because anybody's pro-life.
	Roe v.
	Wade needs to be struck down because it is unconstitutional.
	Because there is no right to abortion in the Constitution.
	And once Roe v.
	Wade is overturned, you know what we get?
	Nationwide abortion ban?
	Nope.
	Only if every state does that, and I'll fight for that, every state will have its own abortion laws.
	If you live in California, you live in Massachusetts, you live in Maryland, you live in other lib states, the abortion laws will be as ghoulishly permissive as you wish them to be.
	And in states like mine, in Texas, they'll be more restrictive.
	I hate that word, restrictive.
	Texas' restrictive new abortion law.
	Like, people are, oh, we're restraining people.
	How dare we restrain people from not killing their babies?
	Oh, what a draconian society we are.
	But anyway, bottom line is, when Roe v.
	Wade is overturned, every state can have its own abortion laws, just as the founding fathers intended for any issue that they don't address.
	You know, beneath their powdered wigs, their brains didn't envision, what do we do about women who want to terminate their pregnancies?
	You know what?
	The gentleman from Massachusetts is making stuff up.
	And so what they did in the crafting of the Bill of Rights is they said, look, if there's anything that we don't have in here, like, oh, I don't know, two dudes want to get married?
	If it's not in here, it goes with the states.
	It should be decided in the states rather than have the Supreme Court invent rights that do not inherently exist.
	Gosh, I hope this makes sense.

	1-8 Prager-776.
	Let's see.
	Let us hop to your calls.
	Wide variety of things going on.
	We are in...
	We're in Arizona.
	Trindle, is it?
	Hi.
	Cool name.
	Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	How are you?
	Oh, real good, sir.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Hi.
	I was wanting to respond.
	Earlier, you had a gentleman that called in and stated that there was no CRT in the state system.
	Well, in Arizona, I first heard about CRT last summer.
	I have a friend who's a teacher in the Chandler School District, and they were complaining about the mandatory teacher training for CRT. Oh, that contained what?
	It was implemented into the Chandler School District in Arizona.
	In what kind of form?
	In what way, if you know, what was the point at which they said, okay, teachers, time for CRT. And maybe it might not have come in so many words, but what were the recognizable elements of it?
	It was a mandatory teacher training.
	They were having to take these courses because it was being implemented into the curriculum.
	And what did it, I mean, specific?
	Training that involved a certain racial tenor, a certain...
	Exactly.
	I asked him, I'm like, what is CRT? And he goes, oh, you know, critical race theory.
	And I went, no, I don't know.
	And so he went into explaining it to me a little bit, and I'm like, uh...
	Well, there you are.
	Well, to the gentleman, and thank you, and to the gentleman, you know, listen, I guess there are two things you can do.
	That are really not particularly honest.
	One is to say that it's rampant.
	It's everywhere.
	You can't not find it.
	At any rate, we're trying to keep that from happening.
	And the other thing, and again, I don't know if the gentleman just is mistaken or was being less than honest.
	I'm going to give benefit of the doubt for mistaken.
	He said, I just don't see it.
	I don't see it.
	Maybe that is a political problem, because if there's one thing the left wants you to believe, it's that the CRT thing is a boogeyman.
	It's a straw man, it's false, it's something that evil Whitey has made up, which is part of our sinister plan, to teach the kids things like, eh, slavery wasn't that bad, racism wasn't pretty well gone, eh, don't worry about it.
	And, by the way, no one is saying that.
	In any avenue of schooling.
	No one.
	No one.
	And so, anyway.
	Let us proceed to California.
	Ann, hey, Mark Davison for Dennis, how are you doing?
	And thank you so much for being there for us.
	There is no CRT. It is a doctrine.
	It's not a theory.
	It's a teaching.
	It's part of the BLM, and it clearly says...
	That all whites and Christians and Jews in the West are bad.
	It's no different than white extremism.
	It pushes for black extremism.
	And the sad part of it, very few people really believe in it.
	And it does exist in our schools and in our boardrooms.
	The minute we demonize a whole group of people, that is racism.
	And we know...
	Demonizing a whole group of people never ends well.
	That's a bumper sticker.
	That is awesome.
	Nice.
	That's a t-shirt, a bumper sticker.
	Absolutely true.
	It might have been a little broad in terms of what it is.
	It is, in fact, pretty subtle in the CRT doctrine, the theory doctrine, largely synonymous.
	I mean, I guess something is a theory when you're hatching it, that it becomes a doctrine when it comes out of the oven.
	If you define it as the America of 2021 is still burdened by the stigma of slavery, that the relationships between the races in 2021 need to be seen through the lens of our racial struggles of the past, If you phrase it that way, you would be shocked how many people believe that.
	And it's funny because it's not even a racial belief, it's a political belief.
	Let me return to one of my other favorite themes.
	Almost none of this is about race anymore.
	Almost none of this is about race anymore.
	Clarence Thomas and Alan West don't care about this because they're conservative.
	You know, all kinds of self-loathing white liberals are all about this.
	So it's not really even about race.
	It's about politics.
	And political power, you know, the old saying is, you know, follow the money.
	But these days it's follow the power.
	Of course, power, money, largely interchangeable.
	With one comes the other.
	But the quest for political power, evident everywhere.
	Vaccine mandates?
	They want power over your life.
	Critical race theory?
	They want America portrayed as a racist hellhole.
	Why?
	So that they can say, you've got to have Democrats.
	America's a racist hellhole.
	We're the only people that can fix that.
	You've got to elect us.
	Political power.
	So, as these various issues play out, know that, and in fact, this is good news, and I've said this a lot.
	That I'd rather have our battles really be about differences of opinion, differences of ideology, differences of philosophy, differences of doctrine, different theories.
	I'd much rather have that than really have people duking it out because of skin color.
	What?
	We are past that.
	Conservative blacks and conservative whites agree about stuff.
	Liberal blacks, liberal whites, liberal Hispanics.
	Again, if you have a room full of people who agree, that room could be filled with actual racial diversity.
	And what we're sort of working our way through these days is ideological diversity.
	You know, college campuses and such talk all day about, you know, we need diversity, diversity, diversity.
	Well, sure, racial diversity.
	But they often are very loathe to welcome what universities used to be about, which is...
	Ideological diversity, political diversity.

	Because there is a Washington Post story out that Trump is running a wink and a nod campaign, David Drucker.
	Trump, talked out of announcing a 2024 bid for now, settles on a wink and a nod on official candidacy.
	What do you make of the headline?
	Well, it's some good reporting, but Trump has been running a wink and a nod candidacy since the day he left the White House.
	Pretty clear to me when I interviewed him for the book in May that he was interested in running again.
	He asked me, why do people think I'm not running?
	I said, who says you're not running?
	Let's just talk about other people that may run if you don't, which I finally got him to agree to do.
	How long did that take?
	You know, about three and a half hours.
	Yeah, I mean, you gotta...
	I got him there.
	So, I was told yesterday by a confidant of the former president that he is going to run, and that if he changes his mind because of health, but he looks in great shape, if he does run, he's going to destroy anyone who runs against him.
	I mean, just take them out at the knees and turn on them.
	And if he doesn't run, he'll be supportive of them, hoping to freeze them for a while.
	Consistent with your understanding?
	Yeah, well, look, first of all, we know that any time he's in a campaign, he tries to take people out at the knees.
	Again, nothing new.
	I think the thing to understand about President Trump, former President Trump, is that he loves being in the arena.
	He loves holding his big rallies.
	He hasn't tired of politics.
	He didn't want to retire from politics.
	And unlike presidents in the past who have lost, he's simply not going to do so.
	There is this question of, is America becoming a safer country?
	or a more dangerous country.

	Follow me on Twitter, at Mark Davis, if you wish.
	Let's dive back in and see what's going on.
	In various people's minds, we are up north in California, in Grass Valley.
	Corey, hey!
	Mark Davis, in for Dennis, how are you?
	Hey, Mark.
	Okay.
	Hi.
	Hey, I just wanted to correct you on your comment about, you know, if Roe v.
	Wade was overturned and the question for abortion goes to the states.
	Correct.
	This law has already been made.
	It's called murder.
	Did you know that?
	Yeah, it is, but that's a legal term.
	And so the states that choose to make abortion illegal or to view it as murder or view it however they like would then be able to do so.
	Other states could do whatever they like.
	If Roe v.
	Wade is overturned, abortion does not instantly become the same definition as murder.
	Sorry.
	You ever read the Declaration of Independence?
	Frequently.
	They're basically saying...
	That King George is overstepping his bounds.
	He's making laws that God already made.
	Correct.
	Yeah.
	And your point?
	Yeah.
	Well, it doesn't go to the state.
	The people, you know, are not supposed to support all this, you know.
	I'm going to make this very simple.
	I'm going to make this very simple.
	It goes to the states.
	I just made it simple.
	No, you made it wrong.
	And I love you, and I think we largely agree on stuff.
	But when Roe v.
	Wade is over, Roe v.
	Wade established a federal right to terminate pregnancy.
	It was totally unconstitutional.
	If something is not mentioned in the Constitution, and abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution, it is left to the states to make whatever laws they wish.
	So that in your state of California, the news will not be good.
	In my state of Texas, the news may be substantially better.
	Utah and Alabama and such will probably be good luck getting an abortion there.
	And that's precisely what the Founding Fathers envisioned.
	It's a tapestry of laws voted on by the people who live in those states.
	And then people ask me, what's the pro-life cause?
	If Roe v.
	Wade's overturned, what do pro-lifers do then?
	And the answer is, fan out to every single state.
	That will not sufficiently protect the unborn and mobilize so that they do.
	We will win some battles, we will lose some battles, but we dust ourselves off and we persist.
	Because it is the amazing victories of the last, the entire Roe v.
	Wade era that has led to a country being a lot less cavalier and a lot less permissive, a lot less tolerant, especially of late-term abortion.
	than it used to be.
	It's an amazing victory for the pro-life movement.
	Hey, while we're talking about going into battle on important stuff, our friends at the Job Creators Network, after a year plus of lockdowns and mandates and stuff like this, Washington still hadn't gotten the message.
	Small business owners are hurting.
	Big global competitors are thriving.
	Who's doing something about it?
	The Job Creators Network.
	Job Creators Network has taken this message on the road.
	In October, the Bring Small Business Back Bus Tour may be coming to your town.

	All right, let's go to 1-8-Prager-776 for more calls.
	We're in Fort Worth.
	Hey, Emily.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How are you?
	Hey, Mark.
	I'm doing okay.
	How are you?
	Great.
	Thank you.
	You were talking about, like, the critical race theory, and I'm a preschool teacher, and I'm going to probably blow a few people's minds, because a lot of times they're like, oh, it starts in college, start brainwashing them, they're away from their parents, brainwashing them.
	No, they're starting to do it younger.
	They're doing it at three, four years old.
	I mean, it's sad.
	Yeah, I mean, when they're at three, four years old, you can say, oh, yeah, we're different.
	Because we have different eye color.
	Sometimes your mommy and daddy have different eye color than you do.
	But they always have to bring it back to, oh, well, what about your skin color?
	How about you?
	Yours is different than someone else's.
	Why can't we just appreciate that?
	Yeah, we're different.
	Okay, so let's slice and dice.
	Okay, so preschool.
	God help us preschool.
	If the curriculum, if it's about...
	Hey, Billy's white, Jenny's skin is darker, maybe Jenny's black, and maybe Roberto is Hispanic.
	And I want to show as much grace as possible to things that may not be sinister, but here's the thing.
	If it's all about sort of celebrating those differences, great, let's do that when we're 10. Maybe if your eyes are the same as mine, the great thing about being three or four or five, nobody cares.
	The kids do not care who's short or tall or white or black.
	They don't care.
	Please let them.
	They have the rest of their lives to care.
	They have the rest of their lives to hone in on all of this.
	Just let them hug each other and play with each other.
	You know, whip the mask off each other and see each other's faces.
	I'll tell you, like lately, we had a culture...
	awareness week that was all celebrated about a culture and I get it cool I'm in Texas there's a lot of cool culture yes and they gotta make it like more political and like oh well what makes you different if you're from here you're this color and it's like what they're three people and they don't care and then the biggest debate every day is we go outside and kick my mask off I come back in I have to wear it again I'm like, why do you wear that?
	Because my boss says I have to.
	Why?
	I'm like, you know, to be honest, I don't even know.
	I can't breathe with this thing.
	Then why do you wear it?
	Because I wouldn't have a job and I wouldn't be able to do it.
	It's just, they won't let it go.
	They won't let it go.
	It's awesome.
	Exactly.
	I'm like, I hate it too.
	I hate bad.
	Well, it can be, but with this thing...
	Wouldn't you rather see my funny faces?
	Like, yes.
	Yes.
	Oh, Emily, I'm so proud of you.
	Thank you for all you know.
	How long have you been in the trenches of preschool?
	How long have you been at it?
	Well, now about two years.
	Like, through COVID and everything.
	You picked a great two years, didn't you?
	Well, listen, at some point, they will see your beautiful face.
	You will be able to make expressions with them and them with you.
	And do me a favor, whether if I'm hanging out here with Dennis or you live here, call the local show.
	Let me know how things are going because we're emotionally invested in you now.
	I appreciate it so much.
	Thanks for all you do.
	I'm actually, yeah, I will keep you all posted.

	Mark Davis filling in.
	Let's dive back to your calls.
	We're in the homestretch.
	Let's see how many people we can talk to.
	It's been an awesome day.
	We love slinging hot topics with you.
	We are in Cleveland.
	Mike, Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	Welcome.
	How are you?
	Yes, pretty good.
	A little while ago, there was a woman that said something about Arizona or something, and critical race theory was teaching that whites and Jews and Christians were all evil.
	That's complete and total nonsense.
	I have researched this, and I cannot find anything in critical race theory which says that.
	Let's pause, because I share your view.
	There are people who can come at us.
	...with condemnations of critical race theory and really ladle it on thick and perhaps not in a subtle, finely honed way.
	So let's go with what I've said, and then you can go with whatever you wish, and that is that critical race theory teaches kids to see modern America through an eternally racial lens.
	Creating tensions between kids that are unnecessary, viewing the country darkly in a sinister fashion as if we're still a racist hellhole.
	And that is happening, and it's happening with increasing frequency.
	Go with that.
	Well, I think it teaches kids to look at America from one point of view.
	But, you know, it's like looking at America from a ring.
	There's different point of views that you can look at from America, and it's one to be looked at.
	Okay.
	That's an interesting point.
	And by the way, well phrased.
	I mean, CRT and anything else is one way of looking at America.
	But it is a way that I think is intellectually dishonest and societally harmful.
	Telling a kid who's 8 or 9, a black kid, that not much progress has been made since the 50s or the 60s or even the 1850s or 60s, and they still have to wear this burden of systemic racism, and that's still outside the school walls.
	I mean, that's a terrible thing to tell a kid.
	And I don't know where the problem was.
	I learned about slavery, as well I should have.
	Find me a kid that hasn't learned about slavery.
	So what was the problem that CRT solves?
	It shows people about what has happened in the history of the United States.
	Who doesn't know?
	What is a reality that's been so sorely lacking in the public education of the last 30, 60, 90 years?
	What have kids not learned?
	People know about the big things like slavery and whatnot.
	Do people know about banks redlining?
	Do people know about...
	Real estate of people not taking blacks to certain areas to show them homes.
	Systemic racism like that.
	There's a lot more than you said.
	I don't know.
	That's not systemic.
	I guess we could have that semantic argument.
	That's a good point.
	Sort of a history of discrimination.
	Things that have happened through the years and may still, and that we should remain vigilant about.
	I think that's worthy.
	I think that's worthy.
	We should always be on patrol for any vestige of discrimination as it may still be practiced.
	And if that's all some new educational idea did, I'd be totally on board for it.
	That's a scalpel.
	CRT is a sledgehammer.
	Well, I don't know why you say it.
	Because it is.
	Because when it talks about systemic racism, and I've seen some of these curricula, it is about making sure that the kids look at each other and use this white...
	Privilege and systemic racism that pervades every police department, every local government, it is wildly overstated.
	And there are two things that you shouldn't do.
	Understate racism in 2021 and overstate it in 2021. CRT grotesquely overstates it.
	If you're talking about racism in America, shouldn't you be discussing white privilege?
	Or do you just pretend there's no such thing?
	Well, the very term suggests that the black kids or the Hispanic kids or whatever should somehow look askance at their white classmates and say that they somehow automatically benefit from something that they should be resentful of.
	That is societal poison.
	Isn't it true that for decades and decades white people Did you have privileges that black people didn't have?
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	And does racism still exist in the occasional human heart?
	Absolutely.
	But what you need to tell kids of every color is that Dr. King's dream, we're on a great course toward that.
	Content of your character and not, repeat not, color of your skin.

	Alright, we are on the phones, 1-8 Prager-776, and we are in St. Joseph, Michigan.
	Candice, hey!
	Mark Davis, in for Dennis, how are you?
	Yeah, hi Mark.
	Hi.
	You're doing a great job.
	You've got big shoes to fill.
	Thank you.
	Anyway, there is an example of systemic racism, and that is affirmative action.
	I was with a bunch of very left Democrats the other night, one of whom is a prominent trial attorney with the largest firm in the world, and she tried to get her son a job, who is an attorney, whatever, and he was passed over for X person who had left qualifications, etc., and all of a sudden I turned the whole conversation around.
	And they all started saying, wow, yeah, talk about privilege, black privilege.
	That's what we've got today.
	Well, to the extent that affirmative action punishes people for their whiteness and elevates folks of color and insults them by saying, you're not good enough to make it on your own merits, yeah, it does.
	And words have meaning.
	Systemic means.
	Through the system, meaning it's system-wide.
	Is there systemic racism in policing?
	No.
	Are there some departments that have some real issues?
	Apparently.
	Are there some cops who have some issues?
	Apparently.
	Systemic, however, means systemic.
	Affirmative action.
	Well, here's the funny thing.
	Affirmative action.
	There are some states that have said you can't use that for your state university law school, etc., etc.
	We're poking holes in that as well.
	And the idea for that is so that we can really achieve Dr. King's dream of making sure that we are looking at people based on their merit, content of their character, as he so wisely said, and not the color of skin.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	We are in Minneapolis.
	Joe, hey, Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Welcome.
	How are you doing?
	Hey, I'm doing real well.
	Thank you so much, Mark.
	First, I want to thank you so much at the start of the show today, how you opened that with a prayer and putting everything that we talked about here into proper context.
	Thank you.
	Thanks so much.
	No, thank you, man.
	So my point kind of deals with what you were talking about right after the break and with the Alliance Defending Freedom.
	We have totalitarian entities in our country now.
	That seems to really get away with a lot that they need to be held accountable for.
	One of the tactics, it seems, that they like to use is the silencing of the people that speak out against them, whether they're on a school board or a city council meeting or whether it's the FBI. People who speak out get singled out and they get bullied.
	And at the same time, the people at these agencies don't allow the people who are speaking out to use names on the school board or on the city council.
	And that's a real terrible totalitarian tactic, if you ask me.
	How do you mean?
	Help me.
	Go back 15 seconds.
	We say you're not allowed to use names.
	What does that mean?
	When a parent speaks up at a city council meeting or at a school board meeting, they're not allowed to use members or somebody in the school or the principal's name or somebody on the school board.
	The name of the entity itself.
	Well, the FBI says that, you know, parents who are doing this are, you know, out of line blood.
	Who says?
	Somebody at the FBI is actually saying that, and I think we should get to know who it is.
	There's no accountability.
	No, I'm all about that.
	I guess I'm trying to, I don't mean to bog down.
	I guess it's in the thing that intrigued me the most about the notion of names.
	I guess I'm imagining a school board meeting and somebody saying, hey, that Mr. Quackenbush history teacher, he blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	I mean, I guess that makes it look kind of personal, whereas maybe if you say in my kids' history class, they're being taught blah, blah, blah.
	Maybe singling folks out by name doesn't mean that you can't still make your point.
	I mean, I don't know.
	Again, I try to show grace.
	If there's a rule...
	That strikes me as weird or strikes somebody else as, gee, well, why do they do that?
	I always try to figure out maybe why they do that.
	You know, I will tell you this, if you go around naming names now, and God help you, because you'll be a domestic terrorist, I think maybe my favorite thing, and boy, ground zero for a lot of this is Loudoun County, Virginia.
	I grew up in the suburbs of D.C., over on the Maryland side.
	Loudoun County is out west of Washington, and they've had a school board that's been doing X, Y, and Z for a lot of years, and a whole bunch of parents are showing up, and just Google Loudoun County, tricky spelling, L-O-U-D-O-U-N, looks like Loudoun, and they have a lot of parents giving the school board the lowdown on what their opinions are of things.
	And there was one gentleman who had, like, excerpts from a book.
	Let me share with you what was in my kid's book in honors English.
	And it was, like, straight-up profanity.
	So, anyway, more on this and a final word or two in a moment.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Because there is a Washington Post story out that Trump is running a wink and a nod campaign, David Drucker.
	Trump, talked out of announcing a 2024 bid for now, settles on a wink and a nod on official candidacy.
	What do you make of the headline?
	Well, it's some good reporting, but Trump has been running a wink and a nod candidacy since the day he left the White House.
	Pretty clear to me when I interviewed him for the book in May that he was interested in running again.
	He asked me, why do people think I'm not running?
	I said, who says you're not running?
	Let's just talk about other people that may run if you don't, which I finally got him to agree to do.
	How long did that take?
	You know, about three and a half hours.
	Yeah, I mean, you gotta...
	I got him there.
	So, I was told yesterday by a confidant of the former president that he is going to run and that if he changes his mind because of health, but he looks in great shape, if he does run, he's going to destroy anyone who runs against him.
	I mean, just take them out at the knees and turn on them.
	And if he doesn't run, he'll be supportive of them, hoping to freeze them for a while.
	Consistent with your understanding?
	Yeah, well, look, first of all, we know that any time he's in a campaign, he tries to take people out at the knees.
	Again, nothing new.
	I think the thing to understand about President Trump, former President Trump, is that he loves being in the arena.
	He loves holding his big rallies.
	He hasn't tired of politics.
	He didn't want to retire from politics.
	And unlike presidents in the past who have lost, he's simply not going to do so.

	I really do think it's time to revolt.
	And I'm not talking about go crazy.
	I'm not talking about, you know, grab your arms and get out in the street and go crazy.
	I just think it's time to stop listening to these guys.
	We know what they're up to.
	These guys are post-constitutional.
	They're circumventing your power.
	They're gaining power for themselves or accumulating power for themselves.
	That's all they want to do.
	And it's up to us to just resist.
	It's up to us.
	You know, as a matter of fact, when it comes to Christmas, I'm looking forward to inviting more people over.
	I'm trying to think of who else I can throw on the list.
	I'm like, forget Fauci.
	Forget him.

	Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	He's back tomorrow.
	Often I'll try to unload some high-quality pontification here in the last segment.
	I'm not going to do that.
	I've had a million words for you, and you all have a bunch for me, and we're so phone-heavy.
	I want to try to get maybe one, maybe two more people on.
	If everybody can be concise, me included, we will get it done.
	We're in San Antonio.
	Ty, hello, Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	Welcome.
	Mark, thank you for taking my call.
	Sure.
	So I was listening to the caller earlier that was talking about redlining and how he feels like it should be relived.
	The educational benefit in today's America to teach a nine-year-old that redlining occurs.
	There is no educational benefit.
	I don't know about a nine-year-old.
	I don't think of all these.
	For those that didn't know, we were talking about CRT, and a very well-meaning gentleman said, well, shouldn't we teach kids about CRT? Well, I wish we had time.
	Can't do it.
	Your point is...
	Solid.
	It's what good is it do to teach a nine-year-old about redlining?
	The gentleman's call was about, if not full-blown CRT, shouldn't we teach kids about certain practices that have been suspicious?
	And I said, sure!
	I probably would kick that in in high school, but even then, you know what the problem is?
	I don't trust anybody.
	I mean, so the practice of redlining, the controversy of it, redlining, definition of it, is isolating off, like on some big map with a red line, ostensibly, some neighborhoods, if you're at the bank or the insurance company, it's like, here...
	Here are some neighborhoods that are a poor financial risk.
	And a lot of people perceive a wink, a wink, and a nudge, a nudge, like it must be because everybody in there is black.
	Well, guess what?
	Maybe it's not.
	I think poor white people could be a poor financial risk as well.
	And so a lot of these things are actually economic and not racial.
	Find me the teacher that would teach that, and maybe we could do it.
	And I still don't know how well that would go.
	We are in Avon Lake, Ohio.
	Chuck, hey, Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How are you doing?
	Yes, how are you doing?
	I want to thank you for taking my call.
	I'm 73 years old, and I'm laughing about what I hear from you.
	But I would like to have a conversation with you offline, because if you look at the movie The Watermelon Man, what was that?
	Now, do you remember that?
	Godfrey Cambridge, I want to say, yes.
	You talk about white privilege?
	Right.
	There is no white privilege.
	There has not been any white privilege in my lifetime because I can tell you six times where I was picked over and what they did...
	Oh, no, I totally get it.
	The affirmative action argument is a good one.
	You bet.
	I think folks might say in a whole lot of other ways, you know, and listen, I've never viewed it as the privilege of being white.
	I viewed it as being, yeah, I gotta go.
	Maybe we'll get that cup of coffee sometime.
	I don't know.
	Chris Rock might have said it best out in front of a big old audience.
	All y'all white folks, you wouldn't trade places with me.
	And I'm rich.
	Just saying.
	All right, thank you, Sean and William and Suzette.
	Mark Davison for Dennis, and Dennis is back tomorrow.
	I'll see you sometime, I'm sure.
