In Israel, which per capita is the most scientifically sophisticated country in the world, and by the way, one of the most vaccinated.
I know, I'm coming to that.
But Israel, remember, is not only scientifically sophisticated, its population is among the highest on Earth.
In terms of vaccination rates.
So they have every interest in Israel to promote vaccines.
And yet they said natural immunity is stronger than vaccines.
So please understand that my claim was based on everything we knew until the CDC which probably is lying.
Now, to some of you, it is stunning to accuse the CDC of lying.
To me, it is like saying the sun shines brightly when there are no clouds.
Let us put it even more clearly.
Cleveland Clinic in the United States, one of the most sophisticated American medical institutions, likewise, have its own study.
But they're all wrong.
They're all wrong.
Because the CDC, for reasons I do not know, I have my suspicions, but I have no interest in offering suspicions.
Whatever the reason, it isn't science.
It's a combination of power.
Well, I guess I am saying my suspicions.
Combination of power and money.
Staggering amounts that Pfizer, Moderna and the others pay to the CDC. Are not inconsequential.
So anything, no matter how valid and true, that undermines the case for vaccines, and I have never once told any of you or anyone not to take the vaccine.
It is not my province to tell you what to do.
But it is my province to tell you truth.
And the truth is that natural immunity is stronger.
Alex Berenson wrote about this.
He's the guy who was with the New York Times until he started telling the truth.
Yesterday, it's titled, The CDC Hits a New Low.
I didn't think it was possible.
That's how he begins his short comments.
But yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control, America's not at all politicized public health agency, released a new study purporting to show that vaccination protects against COVID infection better than natural immunity.
Of course, a wave of stories about the benefits of mRNA vaccination followed.
To do this, the CDC used some magic statistical analysis to turn Inside raw data that actually showed almost four times as many fully vaccinated people being hospitalized with COVID as those with natural immunity, and 15 times as many over the summer, I kid you not.
He actually read the study.
Further, the study runs contrary to much larger paper from Israeli researchers in August.
As my two-year-old likes to say, How'd they do that?
Well, the Israeli study drew on a meaningful data set in a meaningful way to reach meaningful conclusions.
It counted infections and hospitalizations in a large group of previously infected people against an equally large and balanced group of vaccinated people, then made moderate adjustments for clearly defined risk factors.
It found that vaccinated people were 13 times as likely to be infected and 7 times as likely to be hospitalized as unvaccinated people with natural immunity.
Question for you.
Would you rather...
Let us say it was guaranteed you would have minimal symptoms and get over it.
Would you have rather had natural immunity through mild COVID, or would you rather have a vaccine?
That's the question, okay?
That is the question.
Which would you have rather had?
I would be very curious.
And which would you have rather had before this weekend when the CDC came out with that answer?
So this is...
Look at what I caused.
So funny life.
You don't know.
By the way, I have a new report on ivermectin.
For the liars at the New York Times who call it only a horse dewormer, I hate using the term liar.
There is no other word for the New York Times.
In general, on any political subject, they tell the truth on things that do not touch on politics.
And apparently, ivermectin is political.
You know why?
Because if it works, it's much, much safer.
Than the vaccine.
Everybody would acknowledge that.
American Journal of Therapeutics, July-August 2021. Did you know about this?
Ivermectin for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infection.
A systematic review, meta-analysis, and trial sequential analysis to inform clinical guidelines.
And it is written by Andrew Bryant, MSC, Teresa Laurie, Ph.D., Therese Dowswell, Ph.D., Edmund Fordham, Ph.D.,
Scott Mitchell, MBCHBMRCS, Sarah Hill, Ph.D., and Tony Tam, M.D. They are generally, not generally, they're all from the United Kingdom.
Population Health Sciences Institute, Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy, Emergency Department, Princess Elizabeth Hospital, Division of Gastroenterology, Ulster Hospital, Northern Ireland.
I'll give you the conclusion that the American Journal of Therapeutics published.
I'm Ivermectin.
Upon returning, I'm Dennis Prager.

Most white people would not vote for somebody if they thought they were racist.
Why would it be in Donald Trump's best interest to be perceived as a racist?
And by the way, Donald Trump got a smaller percentage of the white vote than Mitt Romney did four years earlier.
Got a higher percentage of the black vote than Rami did four years earlier, a higher percentage of the Hispanic vote.
And in 2016, he got 8% of the black vote, an increase of 6% over the four years earlier when Barack Obama ran for re-election in 2012. And then in 2020, it went from 8% to 12%.
That's a 50% increase in four years for somebody who's racist.
I think it's for white people.
Because white people won't vote for a guy, most of them, if they think they're racist.

God has smiled on me.
God has smiled upon me to be able to live most of my life in Florida, to be able to spend most of my days, and about 90% of the pandemic, the first year and a half of the pandemic, and when I kept hearing about the misery of my friends in California and friends and family in New York and New Jersey, and when I kept hearing about the misery of my friends in California and friends and family in New York and New Jersey, I saw the apocalyptic New York City.
I mean, it was bad.
It was horrible.
Well, guess what?
It was never that way in Florida.
Never even came close.

Did Metaxas beat me?
That's disgusting.
There's very little justice in this world.
Eric Metaxas?
Of all people!
Very few people know this, but Metaxas...
He bribes people to donate to his causes, which is very strange because he might as well just give to the cause.
Anyway, I love Eric.
Eric and I are very close.
I'm very happy for him, and I'm very happy with what you folks have done.
It's a great organization.
I want to just thank you.
I'm not asking you to send in.
I mean, you certainly can, but that's not why I'm making this announcement.
Thank you for those who gave.
And to instill a tiny bit of guilt in those of you who didn't.
So here we go.
Ivermectin, American Journal of Therapeutics, July-August 2021. All these scientists reviewing meta-analyses, a systematic review, etc.
Conclusion, well, data sources.
We searched bibliographic databases up to April 25th, 2021. Two review authors sifted for studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias.
Meta-analyses were conducted and certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach and additionally in trial, sequential analyses for mortality.
24 randomized controlled trials involved 3,406 participants meant to review inclusion.
And now, drumroll please!
The conclusion.
The drummer has not been used in so long.
He might have COVID. Ah, there he is.
No, no trumpets.
That was wrong.
Because trumpets can convey the virus, okay?
Do you know that I know a synagogue?
This is so sad that it hurts me as a Jew to tell you this.
It hurts me as a human being who believes in reason.
So the central...
The act of the High Holy Days of Judaism, specifically Rosh Hashanah, the New Year, is for everyone to hear the blasts of the ram's horn, the shofar.
And there was a synagogue, I won't name it, it's so embarrassing to it, I won't name it, a very big one in Los Angeles that put a mask on the ram's horn.
Even Sean is looking at me in disbelief.
And he's heard it all.
So that's why I didn't want the trumpets.
Who knows if the trumpeter will convey death through that trumpet.
Conclusion.
Moderate certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin.
Let me repeat that.
Moderate certainty evidence finds that large, large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin.
Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease.
The apparent safety and low cost Suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.
Yes, that's right.
So one of us is really, really, really, really wrong.
The New York Times or I. Okay, you have it clear.
And when you find out later that the New York Times was lying about ivermectin, What will it do to your assessment of the times?
And by the way, if you find out that I was wrong, in my case that the issue is not a lie because I am giving you my evidence, they're lying because they dismiss it as a horse dewormer.
If they said it didn't work, they wouldn't be lying.
It would be opinion against opinion.
What is lying is saying that it is only a horse dewormer.
It was given a Nobel Prize in medicine for use in humans.
Humans.
That was the lie that they told.
So I took ivermectin for the last year and a half as a prophylactic, believing...
And I put my actions where my mouth was, believing that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and zinc and vitamin D, etc., over the course of time, would prevent COVID from being seriously injurious to me.
And it turned out that the COVID did not in any way injure me.
I broadcast three days after being diagnosed.
No, actually, I was diagnosed Wednesday, I believe, and I broadcast Monday.
So, three broadcast days after.
Five days actual, calendar days.
By the way, when I hear my voice, then boy, I was so weak.
But I'm very committed to broadcasting.
I wanted you to know I was healthy, and so on.
But in retrospect, I could have taken another two days.
But it's very often, in retrospect, you realize, yeah, you know, could have taken your time.
Retrospect.
The trick with retrospect is to have it in prospect.
That's a good one.
In other words, it's good to know if you're going to Monday morning quarterback, it's good to know what you're going to say Sunday.
But it's not available to us.
Not in this dimension of existence.
So, as I pointed out in the opening of the show, the CDC was definitely influenced by the widespread attention given to my comments that natural immunity is stronger than vaccine immunity.
By the way, I said, even in that broadcast, which nobody reported, of course, The vaccine.
You should be taking these prophylactic measures.
You shouldn't just take nothing.
I don't advise that at all.
There's a big part of me, depending on your age, that thinks that you should take the vaccine if you don't take anything else.
They won't report this either, I assure you.
We'll be back.
I'm Dennis Prager, 1-8-PRAGER-776.

Hi, everybody. everybody.
I'm Dennis Prager.
My guest is the former science advisor for the Obama administration.
If I'm not mistaken, and he'll correct me, he's a modest man, but I do want to note it.
He's one of the leading scientists in the country as well.
He was former provost of Caltech, along with MIT, the two most distinguished technical universities in the world, and certainly in the United States.
He presented PragerU's video, Is There Really a Climate Emergency?
last week.
And now he has a book out, Unsettled.
And the reason it bothers me is I have to read it.
But I will.
And I always read the books I say I will read.
Unsettled, What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters.
Okay.
Dr. Koonin, Professor Koonin, Science Advisor Koonin, Stephen, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
Thank you very much, Dennis.
And it's just Steve.
As you say, I'm kind of modest and unpretentious, actually.
I'm well aware of that.
Was I right about being a provost at Caltech?
I was for nine years provost, and altogether I was 30 years a professor there.
But, of course, the people who differ with you, with me, and so many others, will say, oh, we don't follow the science.
It's quite an attack to make on you.
I agree.
Particularly since everything I say in the video or have written in the book is right out of the official UN or US government reports.
So I'd love to have a discussion with them about who's denying what science.
Oh, God, would that be awesome.
We would put up serious...
Prager, you would put up serious money to have someone equally prominent to you on the other side.
Who is the guy?
There is a truly...
No, not Michael Mann.
No, no.
I know what you...
He's the guy at the Canadian University.
No, that doesn't work.
Yeah.
Oh, is it Penn State?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, no, no, no.
Forgive me.
There is a guy who writes, McGibbon, McGibbon, that's it.
Are you familiar with McGibbon?
McKibbon.
Yeah, McKibbon, yeah.
He's not a scientist, really.
Oh, good point.
Less than men.
So let me tell you, I was at MIT last week in a meeting open to the whole MIT community, in which I shared the stage with a prominent MIT faculty member who was an expert.
And we had a discussion.
It was very good.
He spoke for 20 minutes, and then we talked.
He didn't challenge anything I said in science.
The discussion focused on risk aversion and improbable but high-impact events and so on.
And that's not the science.
It's how you interpret what you do about it.
But anything I wrote was not challenged at all.
You need to write a book, and I mean this very, very sincerely.
You need to write a book or an essay on something even more important than how to read science data, and that is courage.
And it's not being cute.
This is an issue that comes up in my life regularly, people at speeches.
Ask me, how does one become courageous?
So I will pose that to you.
And please forego your modesty for a moment.
I'm not saying this to compliment you.
It's a fact that you're courageous.
How do you explain it?
Well, I think there are several factors.
One is...
You know, I feel as though I know pretty well what I'm talking about and feel pretty confident in what I'm saying.
Of course, I have tried it out on many sympathetic friends to make sure I've got it exactly right.
The second is I have given advice, scientific advice, on other policy matters, ranging from nuclear weapons to the Human Genome Project to dirty bombs.
And so I have some sense of what good scientific advice is.
And I think probably most important is I'm toward the end of my career.
I've had a wonderful run.
I'm not ready to hang up my spurs by any means yet.
But if I had 20 or 30 years of needing to get grants and invitations to conferences and attract students and so on, I'd probably be a lot more circumspect in what I am saying.
I really have tremendous admiration for you, given how honest you are.
We're going to come back to this eminent scientist, Stephen Kuhn, and his video is up at PragerU from last week, and his book just out, Unsettled, What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't.
And why it matters.
I want to remind you of my story with Nerve Renew.
I've had this tingling, numbness stuff.

I'll just remember this, I ran against Donald Trump.
Newsbuttleton, his opponent is named Glenn Youngkin, not Donald Trump.
And Terry is running against an acolyte of Donald Trump.
Terry's opponent has made all of his private pledges of loyalty to Donald Trump.
But what's really interesting to me, he won't stand next to Donald Trump now that the campaign's on.
Think about it.
He won't allow Donald Trump to campaign for him in this state.
He's willing to pledge his loyalty to Trump in private.
Why not in public?
What's he trying to hide?
Is there a problem with Trump being here?
Is he embarrassed?
So, you can't stand Trump.
You think Trump is a bigger enemy than China, than Islamofascism?
And you're also chastising him for not wanting Donald Trump to campaign for it.
So which one do you want?
What do you want?
And again, for you independents and Democrats who hate Donald Trump, please give me a call.
888-971-7243.
Are you happy with the borders right now?
I know you thought Donald Trump was unfair and harsh and all that.
Are you happy there have been almost 2 million attempted crossing the border so far this year?

Are you happy with the inflation?

*Music* Yep, everybody.
Dennis Prager here.
And just a note for Sean that I was kicked off the Internet again.
I know I do, but it's not...
I've got to get back on.
It's really sad.
All right, here we go.
I am speaking to professor, scientist, former science advisor.
It might be added to the Obama administration.
Caltech 30 years.
The last comment you made, Stephen Kuhn, Stephen Kuhn's book, by the way, is Unsettled.
And I had him on the week it came out, but it's given Glasgow right now.
The truth is I could have him on every week since it's a preoccupation.
So I wish the world heard this man.
So your last comment, I asked you about how you have the courage to speak out, since courage is everything.
And the last comment was fascinating, and I really commend your honesty.
If you were younger and you had to worry about your career, you're not as certain that you would have spoken out and or written this book.
Is that correct?
Correct.
Correct.
This is...
Completely believable on two grounds.
One is that it is usually a professor emeritus who says things that the left does not want to be heard because a professor emeritus can't be fired.
It's just a title at that.
I mean, I guess they could rescind the title, but beyond that, nothing can happen to him.
So, for example, let me ask my producer, Richard Lindzen.
So here's another example.
The MIT scientist who was spoken out about global warming.
And again, not a young man.
He doesn't have to worry about his future.
Right.
Although you, I mean, I don't want to place a worry in your life, but to the extent that you do get paid lectures, you will get fewer as a result of, well, I don't know, maybe not, maybe conservatives.
Oh, you know, first of all, let me say, you know, my academic day job, I'm a tenured professor at New York University.
Before the book came out, I sent a copy to the president and the provost, both of whom I know pretty well.
You know, there's a bond between former academic administrators.
And, you know, I said, read this.
This is coming out.
And they said, Steve, you know, we're behind you.
You've got the freedom to say what you think is correct.
And I've got to say that they've stood behind me in many ways, even as the university itself has become wrapped up in the climate crisis and climate action and so on.
So, you know, kudos to them.
With respect to my colleagues, I think many on the engineering faculty have an appreciation for what I've been writing and saying.
Much less so on the other parts of the campus, but that's okay.
I mean, I'll help you have any interaction with them at all.
I'm teaching climate science now.
I'll do a lecture tonight, one of a dozen this term.
And I've got students who are fully engaged with the science.
And I teach right out of the UN reports.
So what does the press report to us that is, use the term you want, untrue, unreliable, irresponsible, whatever term you wish to use?
Yeah, so let me give you just some factors taken from the most recent UN report on the science, which was released on August 9th.
When that report was released, the UN Secretary General Gutierrez said, Code Red for Humanity.
But if you search all 3,949 pages of that report, and you look for terms like existential threat, climate catastrophe, climate disaster, they're not there at all.
Climate crisis does appear once, and that's not a scientific finding, Used to describe how the U.S. media have oversimplified their coverage.
The report contains some interesting facts.
For example, there are no detectable long-term trends in hurricanes.
There are no detectable long-term trends in flooding.
And if you go to previous U.N. reports that talked about the economic impact, you find that a warming...
A few degrees by the end of the century, further warming, is a few percent in the GDP, equivalent to a couple years of growth.
And so I don't understand what all the fuss is about trying to limit warming to one and a half or two degrees, when in fact the UN itself projects it to have minimal economic impact.
My silence is, I almost don't know what to say.
First of all, I have to acknowledge that I'm surprised, and tell me if I should be or shouldn't be, I'm surprised that the report, the raw data report of the UN is that honest.
Well, you know, as I... Described in the book, there's this long game of telephone that starts with the data and the original scientific research papers.
It goes through the report to the summary of the report for policymakers and then on to the media and the politicians.
And things get filtered out.
They get distorted as you go through that long chain of information.
And when you read the report itself, again, about 4,000 pages, pretty dense.
They don't, excuse me to use the word, they don't deny any of these things I've been telling you.
It's just buried and then not highlighted.
So what is the report's prediction on increase in temperature by the end of the century if nothing is done?
Right.
All right, tell me when we get back.
I don't want to interrupt you.
Okay, I'll tell you.
And it'll certainly keep everybody listening.
We'll be back in a moment.
You called your son.

everybody. everybody.
Dennis Prager reminding you that Professor Kunin's video of PragerU was up from last week.
Is there really a climate emergency?
Kenny was former science advisor for the Obama administration and 30 years at Caltech.
One of the only human beings to have actually read the UN report, I might add.
That's a kudo.
That's a feather in your cap.
So I asked you, and I'm very, very curious, and I'm sure my listeners are.
So according to the UN report, what is the prediction of temperature increase if nothing is done?
Yeah.
So, you know, the temperature increase by the end of the century, let's say 2100, compared to what it is today, depends both on what emissions happen, Going forward, and also how good the models are.
But to kind of cut to the chase, a good number is that we would warm by an additional 1.6 degrees centigrade compared to where we are now for the global average temperature.
Is that a big number?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
If nothing happens, or if we do draconian things?
No, no, that's more or less...
Well, current policies are that by 2030 or whatever year they pick, we will be carbon neutral.
No, they have not enacted that policy.
That's a proposal, as you probably well know.
And it's not obvious that that's going to come about.
And look, anyway, the U.S. is only 13% of emissions, so it hardly depends on what we do.
Much more important what China and India and the rest of the developing world are going to do.
Well, Indy is among those who says, give us a billion, a hundred billion dollars, or is it a billion?

Certainly in Virginia, but also in Ohio, it feels like there's a real grassroots movement brewing on the conservative movement right now.
And it's, you know, just like in times past, it's not just the politicos, it's not just the establishment folks.
Sometimes not even people who are that political, but they're just very fired up about what their kids are teaching.
Their kids are coming home crying upset because they're being told that they're a bad person depending on the color of their skin, and they're just fed up about it.

Ibram X. Kendi.
Now, do you know who Ibram X. Kendi is?
This is not his original name, but that's the name he has adopted.
He, along with Ta-Nehisi Coates, and the white woman who wrote White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo, those are the three musketeers of the...
Woe unto blacks, because America is a scummy, racist, systemically racist place.
They're the three biggest phonies of the movement.
Ibram X. Kendi has desecrated the chair that Elie Wiesel held at Boston University.
He desecrates it.
The guy is a...
Very wealthy, which I don't resent at all, but he got wealthy on calling America scummy.
Only in America is that possible.
I don't think there's any other country where you could become a millionaire calling your country scum.
Only in America is that possible, and Ibram X. Kendi is, and Ta-Nehisi Coates are the chief examples of that.
Well, here's the story.
From Breitbart, which is a very reliable source, as much as they're smeared by the left, they can't point to any pattern of non-truth-telling.
Ibram X. Kendi, quote, horrifying, unquote.
His daughter said she wants to be a boy.
In a video posted on Twitter, Ibram X. Kendi, the man celebrated by the left, For his efforts to insert critical race theory in the nation's school, said it was, quote, horrifying when his daughter announced she wanted to be a boy.
Even talking about gender, you know, I think it was last week my daughter came home and said she wanted to be a boy, Kendi said in a video that includes his name on the screen, you know which was horrifying for my wife to hear, myself to hear.
He has since deleted that tweet.
See, so it's a big problem for the left.
Who prevails in the pecking order of victimhood?
Blacks, transgender, gays, feminists, women.
Give you an example.
There's a big attack now by the trans community on lesbians.
Now, I want you to think.
And this might not be a five-minute moment for your kid to hear if your kid's very young.
I will try to adultify it.
Not adulterate it, adultify it.
But there's only so much I can do.
So here is a riddle for you.
Why is the trans community angry at the lesbian community?
So, I'm going to ask my producer.
Do you think most people are coming up with an answer?
Wow, interesting.
Sean, Sean, don't leave.
Don't leave.
Sean leaves whenever the topic gets into X-rated stuff.
And I understand that.
He was an older boy.
So, Sean, do you know the answer?
Seriously.
Why is the trans community angry at lesbians?
Wrong.
Well, not wrong, but it's not the...
He doesn't know the answer.
So I think you're right, Mr. Producer.
People are not guessing.
Okay, ready?
When you hear it, it will make perfect sense.
Lesbians are not dating, not being intimate with trans women.
In other words, men who have...
Who have transitioned into women.
Because, among other reasons, but primarily, they are not interested in their fellow humans who retain their male genitalia.
I did it in a way not to cause issues with your five-year-old who might be listening.
Yes.
So this is the make-believe world that we're supposed to believe in from the left.
That a woman who wants to be intimate with a woman should be completely happy with a woman who has male genitalia.
Otherwise, she's a bigot.
And lesbians are looking at these people and saying, are you out of your minds?
And it's an interesting question.
Are they out of their minds?
Well, I don't know how many of you remember this, but long before tea became a big issue of LGBT, I asked, what is the tea doing there?
It has nothing to do with L, G, and B. Nothing.
It's not an attack.
It's just a fact.
But they decided to align themselves with the T, the LG and B did, and now there's conflict.
Just as there's conflict between feminists and the T community.
No, I take that back.
Those feminists are cowards, so there's no conflict.
There's a conflict between those who sincerely believe in women's rights and the tea community.
Because they don't think that biological men should be allowed to compete with biological women in sports.
Which is the reason we have separate sports competitions for men and women.
But this has been obliterated by the left in the name of the tea of LGBT. So now the lesbians are quite annoyed with the trans community.
The trans community is calling lesbians bigots, haters, transphobes.
Yes, you want a woman and you have the audacity to reject a woman who has a male body?
What's wrong with you?
This is the sick world that the left has created.
This issue, I don't blame the trans people.
I blame the left.
There are so few trans people, they would have no voice were it not for the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and the others.
It would be interesting to see how the New York Times would handle the lesbian trans issue.
I love it when they tell lesbians whom they should love.
That's called chutzpah, with a capital H. Back to Ibram X. Kendi.
Anyway, that's fascinating.
He said he was horrified when his daughter said she's a boy, and he's taken down that tweet?
You gave me the story?
That's really fascinating.
I am going to look at it right now.
Where did you give it?
Oh, here it is.
Ibram X. Kendi backtracks after tweeting on study some say undermines his white privilege narrative.
How does it undermine his white privilege narrative?
Because the left is totalitarian.
You must agree with the left on every single issue or you're a traitor.
This has been true since Lenin and Trotsky.

Most white people would not vote for somebody if they thought they were racist.
Why would it be in Donald Trump's best interest to be perceived as a racist?
And by the way, Donald Trump got a smaller percentage of the white vote than Mitt Romney did four years earlier.
Got a higher percentage of the black vote than Romney did four years earlier, a higher percentage of the Hispanic vote.
And in 2016, he got 8% of the black vote, an increase of 6% over the four years earlier when Barack Obama ran for re-election in 2012. And then in 2020, it went from 8% to 12%.
That's a 50% increase in four years for somebody who's racist.

We'll see you next time.
Hi, everybody.
Dennis Prager here.
So I miscommunicated to you because I was given erroneous information, understandably, but anyway, I must correct it.
Ibram X. Kendi's tweet about his daughter saying she's a boy has not been deleted.
Something else that he tweeted was, which is...
Also fascinating, and I will discuss at another time because I don't want to confuse two separate issues.
So once again, well here, you can listen to Kendi himself.
You know, I think it was last week my daughter came home and said she wanted to be a boy, you know, which was horrifying.
For my wife to hear, myself to hear, and so of course, you know, we're like, okay, what affirmative message is about girlhood, you know, can we be teaching her to protect her from whatever she's hearing in our home or even outside of our home that would make her want to be a boy?
It's actually a legitimate question.
You know, the fact that he is a demagogue on race doesn't mean he's a demagogue on everything.
I can fully acknowledge that.
On this issue, he's asked a very serious question.
Why did, I assume, teenage daughter, why did she all of a sudden decide she's a boy?
This is the issue of Abigail Schreier.
Her whole book is about this.
What is the name of her book?
Do you remember?
We've had her on a number of times, but her very, very widely read book is exactly on this, about this phenomenon of vast numbers...
Irreversible damage.
Sorry, irreversible damage?
Of relatively vast numbers of girls who are saying they're boys when they're teenagers.
Now, folks, let me ask you a question.
If you want to be intellectually honest, which the left doesn't, but presuming that you do.
So here's a question.
What happened?
Why were there virtually no females in America who said they were boys, 20 let alone 50 years ago, and so many today?
So I assume the left-wing answer is, well, they did, they just stayed in the closet.
They acted like females the rest of their lives.
Okay, by the way, if that is true, I don't believe it is true, but let's say it is true, so what?
Why is that a bad thing?
That society said, you know what?
It's best for you to act what your sex is.
You're a female, act like one, and things will generally work out, which is exactly what happened for the vast majority of people.
Vast majority.
And I don't think things will work out quite as well as the left portrays it for all these young girls who say that they are boys.
Oh, they're just going to live this fairytale life.
By the way, it's an interesting question, which I've never gotten an answer to.
Maybe there is no answer.
Maybe it's an individual issue.
Whom will they love, I mean physically love?
And or marry?
A female?
A biological female?
A biological male?
In other words, is this girl now going to be a heterosexual male?
So that she's really, biologically, a lesbian?
It gets confusing, I acknowledge.
The society, what society is doing to our kids is venal.
In every arena.
In every arena.
You know what?
I'd be curious to know what percentage of kids who go to regular school Say that they are the opposite sex, and especially girls.
And what percentage of girls who are homeschooled say that they're boys?
Now, why would the percentage be different?
Right?
There's an answer.
It's called environment.
Environment has a big factor on people's lives.
A big effect is a big factor.
Correct?
For everybody.
In Greece, it was expected that men who could afford it, men of means, had a boy lover.
Clearly, Greek society fostered that behavior.
So much for sexual orientation always being built in and non-culturally induced.
In some cases, it is true.
Not in all cases.
Society plays a role.
We live in the age of lies because the left is dominant.
So did you hear about the Lincoln Project?
Let me ask you a question.
Why is the Lincoln Project in existence?
Who supports it?
Oh, Democrats.
Yeah, that's true.
So it's headed, it's really important.
The Lincoln Project, which is a hate Republican organization, that's all it is.
It is nothing more.
It is intellectually vapid.
It's a hate organization, and the object of their hatred is the Republican Party.
So who was the head of it?
The guy who was the chief strategist for Mitt Romney.
And I said at the time, Does Romney stand for anything having this man as his analyst?
Because after the election, there was a huge article about him in the New York Times magazine, which I read, and which stated, or had quoted him as stating, that he didn't believe in any ideology.
And I thought, wait a minute.
The chief strategist of the Republican presidential race doesn't believe in any ideology?
What does that say about Romney?
Now, I campaigned for Romney.
In his presence and not in his presence.
And that is a legit question.
What does Mitt Romney stand for that he would appoint a man who was ideology free to run his campaign?
It means he's ideology free.
It's exactly right.
What does Mitt Romney stand for is up there in my life's riddles with why did God make the mosquito?
Neither one is fully answerable in this lifetime.
And this is proof.
So they made a hoax which shows that they are as stupid as they are destructive.
They stood with ticky torches in front of the campaign bus in Virginia.

Charlotte, North Carolina.
Alyssa, hello.
Hi, Dennis.
I wanted to call and just tell you quickly a story.
I have two boys.
One is older, close to 30, married, successful career and all.
And then I have my other son who just graduated from college.
And he has always had high anxiety and depression, and we've always dealt with that.
We started with Christian counselors.
But anyway, towards his last year of school, he'd been seeing a counselor, and this is just an example I want to throw out to people that they are aware of what's going on, and he told his counselor that he was having feelings that he should have been born a girl and that they had started in puberty, which we had no sign of.
She very quickly said to him, oh, well, don't worry about that.
I run a trans group, and you can join it.
Oh, my God.
So without trying to spend time with him to say, as you were saying with that book, why do you feel that way?
You know, let's talk about this.
Do you realize how life-changing this is for you and your family?
No.
She immediately steered him towards a trans group, which, of course, they're all open and accepting and full of love.
No, encouraging.
Oh.
Absolutely encouraging, 110%.
He found this whole other group that was just, according to him, just so loving and, again, encouraging and accepting.
And he's embraced it so much that immediately, upon graduation, he moved all the way over to the left coast.
And he has turned into this ridiculously liberal, Black Lives Matter, trans lifestyle.
It's killing the family.
Now, he knows, and he will always be a he to me, how much I love him, no matter what he does.
And I will always be here for him.
His dad is having a much harder time with him.
We're very strong in our faith.
And that's the only thing that I swear has kept me from having a nervous breakdown.
And my other child is the complete opposite.
Complete opposite.
Are the two of them at all close?
They were when they were younger.
Okay, no, no, that's fine.
A lot of siblings are not.
I was just curious to know if that was an avenue of communication.
Not as much anymore.
I get it.
Well, let me tell you the You didn't even ask me, so unsolicited advice can be resented, but I'll take the risk because I care about your situation.
So I say this to parents.
You can't, not just on the trans issue, on any issue, you can't let your happiness be hostage to your child.
I feel very strongly about that.
That's why I say it all the time.
You have to adopt the attitude of the woman caller to my happiness hour many years ago who I thought said something brilliant.
She concluded about her miserable, those were her words, 35 or 30 whatever year old daughter.
She said, I finally concluded, Dennis, I didn't break her.
I can't fix her.
And you have to live a life.
With your husband, with your other wonderful child.
You are there for your child should he ever want to return to you.
But you don't share, even forgetting the trans issue, you don't share his values.
And values, what else is there in life other than values?
So that's my unsolicited advice to you.
It's a painful thing.
My heart breaks for this woman out of nowhere.

There aren't enough ships.
You've been the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Transportation.
What do we do?
It's a very dire situation.
You know, when COVID initially hit our shores early in 2020...
I was in Secretary of Transportation, and we quickly focused on keeping the transportation supply chain open so that essential medical supplies, groceries, and other essentials were available.
And that effort actually required some pretty strong measures.
Number one, we decided to ease some restrictions on truckers so that they can keep goods moving.
We made sure that the National Airspace kept airplanes flying because...
And even though at one point planes were nearly empty of passengers, commercial airlines also routinely transport a lot of goods, especially medical supplies.
You know, remember those early days of the initial lockdowns?
We had hoarding of toilet papers, anti-wipes, shortage of masks.
Stores were putting limits on how much customers can buy of one item.
And more than 70% of domestic freight moved via trucks.

Dennis Prager here.
A lot of stories here.
Okay.
Jay in Manhattan.
Hello.
Dennis, I'm just going to refute the argument about how the left generally cares about making people's lives miserable, because if that was the case, then I can make the case about how the right want to make people's lives miserable by whining about every issue that can be pretty much trivial,
from drinking to video games, like recently with Josh Hawley whining about how Men are playing video games, and that's...
You don't think video game addiction is an issue?
No, it's not.
Okay, so fine.
So two people differ.
I believe it is.
It's a cheap whining.
Oh, it's a cheap whining.
Okay, fine.
Is it a cheap whining that America is systemically racist?
Is that cheap whining, or is that accurate?
Oh, my God.
Either answer it or hang up.
Is that whining?
Yes or no?
No, it's not.
So it's legitimate to say America's systemically racist, but it's not legitimate to say...
No, because the way you want to point it out is that you want to create this hoopla about what systemic racism means.
Okay, you're trying to generalize it yourself, okay?
Okay.
All right, appreciate your calling.
Okay.
Listen, what I do in these cases is establish where we differ.
Okay, so he thinks there's no issue with video game addiction, and there's no issue with systemic racism.
The left doesn't mean it in any bad way.
Okay, there you go.
Jay, I appreciate your reinforcing my beliefs, and thank you for calling.
Marianne in Howell, Michigan.
Hello to you.
Hi, Dennis.
Hi.
I love your show.
I unfortunately have to tell you about a teacher.
Going over a lot of what you point out, she kind of forced the issue with a transgender student.
And it's a virtual school, so we had a lot of transgender students because they find their place there.
And she was, this teacher really protected them.
And when I told her about this student, she said, you can't use she, you can't call her that.
I said, why not?
Because she's transitioning.
I said, does her mom know?
And she said, yeah, but she's in denial.
So she kind of forced the issue.
When I talked to the mother, the mother says, as far as I know, I have a daughter.
And yes, she has a masculine username, but that's all I know.
And so when I told the teacher that, she said, well, the mother's in denial.
You have to use they and them.
So she had to, we had to use they and them.
Oh, wait, so they?
Oh, not even, not even he.
Not even he.
It was they.
Okay.
So you see, this is another example of where you're asking me to enter the Twilight Zone.
It's one thing to say somebody has become the opposite sex.
They act the opposite sex.
They took an opposite sex name.
They dress like the opposite sex.
They look like the opposite sex.
I believe courtesy.
Demands that you call a person by what they look like now and by their name and demeanor and haircut and clothing.
It's none of my business what you were born.
I fully acknowledge that.
It is my business, however, to protect society against truly destructive ideas like they.
Okay?
I don't accept they.
Nor, by the way, does transgender.
Transgender means you have gone to the other gender.
They implies there's no gender.
No gender is not transgender.
It's another gigantic lie of the left to throw it all into the soup of chaos.
The only thing that the left can do is create chaos.
It builds nothing.
In the history of the left, they have built nothing except power and chaos.
They.
Give me a break.
I will not say of anyone they.
I will do what my eyes and instincts tell me.
I've told the story of one of the orchestras that I conducted many years ago.
The Timpanist.
Was a pretty woman.
And I mentioned this to the conductor, the permanent conductor of the orchestra.
This is the first time I had conducted an orchestra where the timpanist was female.
And he said, well, as it happens, this person, at that time they used the term transsexual, and I found it of interest, but I referred to the person as a female.
She looked female, acted female, had a female name, dressed female.
But don't tell me that a guy with a beard who wears a skirt, I have to refer to a she.
That person is mocking males and females.
I will not participate in the mockery of the two sexes.

Hi, everybody.
You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
You know, with all these stories about the teacher who was pushing and encouraging the student who said he was a girl, and then the therapist, you'll note that in these cases both were female.
I've pointed out, and I will continue to point out, the disproportionate role women are playing in the chaos being fostered on sexual matters and the disproportionate role they play in the robbing children of their innocence.
With story, drag queen story hours for five-year-olds, for example.
This is sort of a shock to the system because we, not we, I'll speak for me.
I had always associated women with protecting children's innocence.
The left has done a job on women. - Major, major job.
Produced staggering numbers of unhappy females and confused females.
Men have their own issues with violence and sexual predatory natures, so I'm even-handed.
But of course, the cowardice of our society fostered by the left allows you to only criticize men, not women.
However, I'm not a coward.
This is part of the reason you listen to this show.
Okie doke.
Let's see here.
Kathy, Los Angeles.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
Thank you for taking my call, Dennis.
I almost started crying than I could now when the gentleman that called said that video games aren't destructive.
My son...
He's 31. His girlfriend of 14 years finally left him.
They're engaged.
Because he would not stop playing video games.
His life is a mess.
All of his friends that were studying, getting their careers together, she put up with it.
And I used to beg both of them, look at what you're doing.
And as long as she went along with what he was doing, he thought, you know, he had cover.
And now he's finally woken up.
And when I first turned on your show, you were talking about how parents just ruin their life for their kids.
My son is 31, and I am suffering terribly.
I joined Al-Anon in terms of, you know, trying to cope with my family.
Right, and Al-Anon will teach you you can't do a thing.
Yes.
So he's living with me now.
I don't know what to do.
Well, living with you might be a form of enabling him, just as if he were on heroin.
But it really just compounds the contempt for the caller who said it's not an issue.
It's right-wing whining.
It's right-wing.
waking up JD.
Look, I'm very excited about what I'm seeing.
Certainly in Virginia, but also in Ohio, it feels like there's a real grassroots movement brewing on the conservative movement right now.
And it's, you know, just like in times past, it's not just the politicos, it's not just the establishment folks.
Sometimes not even people who are that political, but they're just very fired up about what their kids are teaching.
Their kids are coming home crying upset because they're being told that they're a bad person depending on the color of their skin, and they're just fed up about it.
And I think it may very well take down Terry McAuliffe, but I certainly think it is the beginning of the movement all across this country that's going to take down a lot of Democrats all over the nation.
In the break, we were talking to my team here, and somebody said, well, it's neck and neck, and if Glenn loses by three points, that's a big, big deal in any other normal election.
And here's the reaction I have, J.D. There is no such thing as a normal election after 2016. Do we have any faith that there will be a normal election?
Talk to us about the recent breaking news about Facebook and the censorship of...
You've written a piece about it.
How do we get back to quote-unquote normal, J.D.? Oh, man.
We've got a lot of work to do.
Facebook did two things, basically, in the 2020 election, one of which we've known about for a while.
They basically censored information that was negative about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
They promoted information that was negative about Donald Trump.
And I really believe that swung the election in a really important way.

Well, this is the defining issue down the stretch because...
At the end of the day, Terry McAuliffe can't explain why he thinks parents shouldn't have a role in their kids' education.
He just can't do it because there's no explanation.
All he wants is big government to stand between parents and their kids so that they, in fact, can continue to do what the left liberal progressive party wants to do.
Which is to keep individual rights in the drawer and have big government decide everything.
That's what it is.
And oh, by the way, Hugh, this education issue flies right in the face of the entire left establishment.
I mean, it's not just big government.
It's Hollywood.
It's everybody else.
And so this is why down the stretch here, this basic issue of parents having a fundamental right to be engaged in their kids' education is one that...
Terry McAuliffe can't explain because he knows the answer is just so offensive to so many people, why he thinks big government should impose on parents' rights, and why parents are all standing up with us.
I mean, this is not a campaign.

This is Carol Platt-Lebow for townhall.com.
Thirty years have passed since Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
His tenure there has been consequential indeed.
He's the Court's foremost proponent of natural law, an understanding that our individual rights are transcendent and come from God.
This understanding undergirds his approach to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, powerfully informing the justices' unyielding commitment to limited government and equal justice before the law.
Over the last five years, Justice Thomas has authored more opinions than any of his colleagues on the Supreme Court.
His influence only continues to grow, and he's beloved by the scores of people who know him.
He knows the names of the children of the marshals who guard the courthouse.
He's mentored generations of clerks, treating them like family, and his distinctive hearty laugh rings out within his judicial chambers.
May God bless this great, good, and brilliant man, and may he serve on the court many years longer.
That's Prager.
I'm sorry.
Man, I am going to introduce to you, who I've had on before, I have great respect for, President of the National Association of Scholars, and one of the reviewers of his book, which is, when is it coming out?
Today?
Yesterday?
Next week?
It's been out for a couple of weeks.
So, it's just been published, for all intents and purposes.
It's titled, Wrath, as in Anger, Wrath.
America enraged.
He's described by one of the reviewers as America's foremost angerologists.
I thought that was cute.

Peter Wood, welcome back to my show.
All right.
We're not getting a response from Peter Wood.
I'm laughing because it's not the first time, but I won't continue to comment on that fact.
Hello?
Ah, there we go.
What happened?
Okay.
I must have accidentally hit the mute button.
I'm sorry about that.
Okay.
All right.
Good.
Look, I'm okay when it's the author's fault.
So, fine.
You hit the mute button.
All right.
Anyway, I was saying it's simply good to have you back on my show.
Let's try to understand this.
You wrote a book here on anger in America.
Is it anger in general, anger on one side more than the other?
What exactly did you write about?
Well, what moved me to write the book was my response to the 2020 election, the presidential election, and the response to the riot on Capitol Hill on January 6th.
I've been writing about anger off and on, but mainly in a book that I published about 15 years ago titled A Bee in the Mouth, Anger in America Now, which was a warning that America was licensing too much anger in our cultural life at all levels.
not just in politics.
In sports and entertainment and daily life.
That book said, let's pull this back.
We're going in a direction that cannot be good for us.
Of course, like most such warnings, it went unheeded.
I didn't really expect otherwise.
But I didn't expect that it would bring us to the point of this sort of outbreak of vitriolic hatred on both sides.
Now, I take it that...
What I call new anger, this performative rage, this sense of show-offy anger, was there before it got into politics.
But when it came into politics, it was mainly through the left, which involved being angry as a lifestyle, more or less.
And that ran through the Bush years all the way up to Trump's election in 2016. And then it took on this more accelerated form of just visceral hatred for the other side.
Well, the right was never entirely innocent in this.
People get angry.
That's just human nature.
The question is, what do you do with that anger, and how do you regard it?
Traditional America, say before World War II, such anger was regarded as a weakness, as something not to be proud of.
But the cultural transformation we've had since World War II, It regards anger as empowering, as a sort of authenticity, and something that you could be vain about.
Showing off your anger was no longer going to get you ostracized.
It was going to get you praised.
That access to anger started and remained primarily on the left.
Conservatives, traditionalists of various sorts have always been conflicted on it.
They view such anger as perhaps inevitable, but not something to be proud of.
We have been shifting ever so much year after year.
I think of Toby Keith's song after the 9-11 attack, which was a kind of proud anger song that did appeal to the right.
Nonetheless, the right has always had other things on its mind.
Anger conflicts with having a decent family life, doing your job well, being someone who cares about religion.
So these are matters that are asymmetrical.
The left is very proud of its anger.
The right has had to be goaded into a sense of being curious about what happened.
And the election of some 75 million people see it as stolen was the cause of that anger.
The riot on Capitol Hill was a result of that.
But what really turned the corner...
Was the labeling of the Capitol Hill riot as an insurrection and the use of that term and the barbed wire fences and the National Guard to essentially light off anybody who disagreed with the left's narrative of what happened in 2020. When you find that all of your avenues of appeal,
of seeking justice, have been closed, that the courts won't hear what you have to say, The mainstream media and the digital media are all censoring your views.
I think that backs up into something that is worse than just new anger.
It's what I call laugh, and that's where the title of the book comes from.
Laugh is an emotion that is stirred by a sizable body of people finding that they have been shut out of traditional forms of recourse when they have grievances.
So there we are.
I think there is a very angry left that continues to insult and sneer at conservatives, at the deplorables, and now there is a very angry right that is viewing itself as been illegitimately disempowered.
The face-off in the country is right there.
I'm not a neutral party at this.
I side with the grievances of the angry right, although I'm of the mind that...
That anger has to be channeled back to a productive place, somewhere where we can use the energy that anger provides without letting it turn into a path of self-destruction.
I agree with everything you've said.
And the key word was asymmetrical.
That's the point.
As you pointed out, you're not a neutral observer.
Well, and even if you were a neutral observer, you would still come to the exact same conclusion.
That the anger is defining of the left.
It is not defining of the right.
And the right's anger is a response to the left's anger.
Those are all completely legitimate in my mind.
You know, I can just tell you personally, you wouldn't have followed this for any reason.
So the Washington Post had a big piece about me about a week ago.
Concerned my comments that I prefer to be naturally immune than immune via vaccine to COVID. And indeed, I got COVID a few weeks ago.
It was on that basis that I had made those comments, and they had a feature article on it.
And, of course, it was annoyed with me.
But the most interesting thing were the comments.
Of Washington Post subscribers, because you can't comment if you don't subscribe to the Washington Post.
You can't read the article if you're not a subscriber.
And how many of them wished that I die?
Now, you would think that if people wrote that they wished somebody that they read about had died, you would think the person had raped the girl and killed her.
The person had committed mass murder.
All I did is say I prefer natural immunity to vaccine immunity, and vast numbers of Washington Post readers wished death upon me.
Is that a good example?
That's a perfect example of this self-indulgent new anger, where the idea of wishing death upon you is, of course, to congratulate themselves for their superior virtue, that they are...
See themselves as properly vaccinated and anybody else who demurs from that particular form of medical intervention must be a horrible person and therefore deserving of death.
Moreover, you're a public figure, and when a public figure says, I don't care to be vaccinated, natural immunity is enough for me, you're encouraging other people to defy what they view as the greatest moral edict of our time.
I do view the fight over the vaccine mandates as one of the major fronts on this angry division we have right now.
I live in New York City and spend a lot of time in New England, and I'm perfectly used to all sorts of people that I know who just take it as a matter of course that somebody who refuses to be vaccinated is an ignorant fool at best, and at worst, and I'm perfectly used to all sorts of people that I know who just take it as a Right, yes.
So I hear that all the time.
Yes, I'm sure you do.
We'll be back in a moment.

Most white people would not vote for somebody if they thought they were racist.
Why would it be in Donald Trump's best interest to be perceived as a racist?
And by the way, Donald Trump got a smaller percentage of the white vote than Mitt Romney did four years earlier, got a higher percentage of the black vote than Romney did four years earlier, higher percentage of the Hispanic vote.
And in 2016, he got 8% of the black vote, an increase of 6% over the four years earlier when...
Barack Obama ran for re-election in 2012. And then in 2020, it went from 8% to 12%.
That's a 50% increase in four years.

Final question for Peter Wood, a man I have great respect for.
He's got courage.
President of the National Association of Scholars.
His new book is Wrath, America Enraged.
So, I have all of my life, the biggest question that I ever pose, because I can't live without an answer to this when an answer is available.
I admit sometimes it isn't, and the question is why.
Why is the left so enraged?
The left is enraged because rage gives it the illusion of power, and sometimes the reality of power.
Anger has become its avenue of not only mobilizing people, but of inflating their personal sense of being in control of themselves and being able to alert it over others.
Now, that might sound like it's diminishing the reality of anger, because a lot of these people truly are angry.
They're not simply acting it.
But the form in which this expressive anger comes into their lives is one that is pretty much an addiction.
They see or they feel that unless they have that moment of authentic rage, that they are not doing their part.
Now, I don't say that to demean such people.
I feel sorry that people find themselves blockaded into such a narrow corner of what human existence can be.
But I do think that's how it works.
And I say that on the basis of someone who goes out of his way to talk with people that I disagree with, and I want to hear what they say and why they say it and how they feel it.
So I don't mistake what they're doing as mere play-acting.
It is frequently founded on a strong conviction of righteousness, but it is flooded by this sense of...
It's fascinating.
I never thought of it as associated with power.
And I think you're right.
But I study it almost as much as you do.
And my take is that your other take is accurate.
If you believe that Donald Trump is a Nazi...
Slash fascist, slash dictator.
And everything he does is a lie and wants to create a fascist dictatorship.
I don't know why you wouldn't be angry.
The women who marched in the Women's March in 20...
Let's see, when was the election?
2016, 2017. I think 27th.
Maybe it was 2016. Right after the election.
January 17th.
Okay.
So they were marching because of the president's comments in private about grabbing women.
I'm married to a woman.
Why is my wife not angered by those comments?
Why does she dismiss them as just stupid?
Basically nothing.
They don't put a wrinkle in her day, let alone cause her to march.
That's the question.
Vast numbers of women were not consumed with anger.
So, how do you explain one vis-a-vis the other?
I explain it that when anger is looking for a reason to marshal itself and go in a form of a public demonstration or a denunciation of the sort, It's adventitious.
It goes after whatever is at hand and makes use of it.
So I would imagine that a great many of the women who participated in the social disturbance come by it in Washington in January 2017. Worked themselves up into anger and worked each other up to it.
They were already opposed to Trump.
The particular grievance was just the one that came to hand.
I think anger is an awful lot like that in many circumstances.
If someone is feeling aggrieved, finding the instance in which they can actually kick the dog or find a convenient object of their hire is secondary.
So I would not take Trump's on-air comments or taped comments from many years earlier with the actual provocation.
That was just the excuse for pouring out a particular venomous tirade against him.
Let me bounce one more theory off you, and that is...
I believe that the vast majority of people on the left, and I'm not including liberals, I always dissociate liberal and leftist, but the vast majority of leftists need meaning in life, the left fills their lack of meaning, and everyone wants passion.
So religious people, Christians and Jews, have a built-in passion.
The left is secular and devoid of religious passion and devoid, of course, of conservative passion.
They're not passionate about the founding of the country.
They're passionate about the fact that the founders owned slaves.
So their search for passion...
In their otherwise passionless secular lives leads them to this passion called anger.
Make sense to you?
It sounds like you've been reading my books.
I think very much that.
I would say that as America secularized, it left a vacuum behind.
People cannot live without meaning.
You say passion, I would say meaning, but I think we're in the same...
The same thing, yes.
Right.
This sense of emptiness that my life has no purpose at all unless I can find a purpose someplace else.
It's not going to be with God.
That's right.

I'm Wrath America Enraged.
Thank you.
Secretary Chao, I'm glad you're available today because there are two headlines.
One from the Wall Street Journal.
Biggest US retailers charter private cargo ships to sail around port delays.
Then in the New York Times, it's not sustainable.
What America's port crisis looks like up close.
There aren't enough workers.
There aren't enough ships.
You've been the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Transportation.
What do we do?
It's a very dire situation.
You know, when COVID initially hit our shores early in 2020, I was in Secretary of Transportation, and we quickly focused on keeping the transportation supply chain open so that essential medical supplies, groceries, and other essentials were available.
And that effort actually required some pretty strong measures.
Number one, we decided to ease some restrictions on truckers so that they can keep goods moving.
We made sure that the national airspace kept airplanes flying because even though at one point planes were nearly empty of passengers, commercial airliners also routinely transport a lot of goods, especially medical supplies.
You know, remember those early days of the initial lockdowns?
We had hoarding of toilet paper, sanit wipes, shortage of masks.
Stores were putting limits on how much...
Customers can buy of one item, and more than 70% of domestic freight moves via trucks.
But today's supply chain problems extend all the way, where worker shortages and COVID lockdowns have slowed the loading of cargo ships from where they started to U.S. ports, where, as you just mentioned, the other day there were over 60 freighters with tens of thousands of storage containers offshore waiting for an opportunity to unload.

Most white people would not vote for somebody if they thought they were racist.
Why would it be in Donald Trump's best interest to be perceived as a racist?
And by the way, Donald Trump got a smaller percentage of the white vote than Mitt Romney did four years earlier.
Got a higher percentage of the black vote than Rami did four years earlier, a higher percentage of the Hispanic vote.
And in 2016, he got 8% of the black vote, an increase of 6% over the four years earlier when Barack Obama ran for re-election in 2012. And then in 2020, it went from 8% to 12%.
That's a 50% increase in four years for somebody who's racist.
Mainly it's for white people because white people won't vote for a guy, most of them, if they think they're racist.

*Music*
everybody, welcome back.
Dennis Prager here.
I never would have predicted what a national issue it would be that I said the day that I returned to radio with COVID a few weeks ago in my hoarse voice that I preferred natural immunity to vaccine immunity.
And I got natural immunity.
And I was taken care of by ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and zinc.
And by the way, they always point out all these talk show hosts are anti-vax.
I'm not anti-vax, by the way, just for the record, but it doesn't matter.
For the left, a label is much more effective than an argument.
And the argument is that now that is not the case.
Let me return to all the talk show hosts who apparently died, who are anti-vax or anti-this vaccine.
I wonder how many of them were taking, for the last year and a half, as I have, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and zinc.
I said that day, which, of course, none of the anti-me, anti-Dennis reports, Washington Post.
Yahoo News and Howard Stern and the whole gathering.
Anyway, they didn't report that.
I said, if you don't take the vaccine, you must take these medicines, which are very safe, been used for decades.
And if you don't take any, then take the vaccine.
I don't want people to...
Unless they're very young, then it's irrelevant.
But if you're not very young, and certainly if you have any dangerous immunological issues, then the vaccine may well be the better thing if you're not prepared to take ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, zinc, vitamin D, etc.
Which I took, and I credit with my minimal, even being senior citizen, my minimal Symptoms.
So, I caused a sensation by saying I preferred natural immunity to vaccine immunity.
Based on, among other things, the most extensive test, Israel, which is the most...
Or one of the two or three most vaccinated countries on earth.
They are radically pro-vaccine in Israel.
They have vaccine passports in Israel.
To their, by the way, shame, in my opinion.
Obviously, I'm a big pro-Israel person, but I'm also a pro-truth person.
It's disgusting what Israel has done with regard to vaccine passports.
However, even Israel has...
Produced a study saying that it is way better to have immunity naturally than immunity through the vaccine.
So has the Cleveland Clinic in the United States.
So based on those and common sense and a lot of reading, that is what I said, and it drove the left crazy.
Because if I'm right...
Then their fanaticism with regard to vaccines and the despicable mandates of Biden the despicable are unjustified morally or medically.
So they had to discredit me.
And they went after me.
Washington Post, big article.
I mean, I don't want to even bother you with all the places.
So I listened to the Howard Stern.
It was about 10 minutes.
I said 20 minutes.
It was reported to me.
It was really 10 minutes.
Attack on me.
Basically calling me an effing idiot.
Except not saying effing, saying the word.
And I just need to say that being called by Howard Stern an effing idiot does not deprive me of sleep.
Just for the record.
The man is a very unhealthy dude.
He gives narcissism a bad name, is a germaphobe to begin with, thinks people who are not vaccinated should die.
He actually has said that.
And has still not returned to his New York studios because he's afraid to.
Still broadcasts from his house on Long Island.
I think it's Long Island.
And anyway, look, I have always been a sort of Geiger detector of moral and intellectual sickness.
So all of these things just verify my beliefs.
They hated me at the Washington Post and the other places.
They hated Yahoo News.
And so the CDC, I am convinced, I never...
I always, let's put it this way, I always fight overstating my influence.
I do not walk around thinking about my influence.
I hope I have, I know I have some, I know I have a lot, but how much, I don't know, and I don't preoccupy myself with it.
But in this instance, I am convinced my comments caused the CDC to purvey a lie that the vaccine is better than natural immunity.
The CDC lies with the ease with which you breathe, so this is not shocking.
It is absolutely, it is almost non-understandable what they published.
We'll be back.
I'm Dennis Prager.
Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
Well, this is the defining issue down the stretch because at the end of the day, Terry McAuliffe can't explain why he thinks parents shouldn't have a role in their kids' education.
He just can't do it because there's no explanation.
All he wants is big government to stand between parents and their kids so that they, in fact, can continue to do what the left liberal progressive party wants to do.
Which is to keep individual rights in the drawer and have big government decide everything.
That's what it is.
And oh, by the way, Hugh, this education issue flies right in the face of the entire left establishment.
I mean, it's not just big government.
It's Hollywood.
It's everybody else.
And so this is why down the stretch here, this basic issue of parents having a fundamental right to be engaged in their kids' education is one that...
Terry McAuliffe can't explain because he knows the answer is just so offensive to so many people, why he thinks big government should impose on parents' rights, and why parents are all standing up with us.
I mean, this is not a campaign.
It is a movement now.
It is a movement, and I was called last night by my daughter, who saw my schedule, and said, please ask Glenn Youngkin if he will get the Virginia schools.
Some common sense on COVID. Now, two of my three grandchildren have COVID, but the oldest one, who hasn't, and has tested negative four times, can't go to school for 24 days in Virginia.
The quarantine rules, along with the CRT in Loudoun County, along with the attempt to marginalize parents of Terry McAuliffe, have you heard that the COVID rules are driving moms crazy?
Parents have had it.
They've just had it across the board.
I mean, think about it.
It started with parents standing up for one simple, basic request.
Open our schools.

This is Carol Platte-Lebow for townhall.com.
Thirty years have passed since Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
His tenure there has been consequential indeed.
He's the Court's foremost proponent of natural law, an understanding that our individual rights are transcendent and come from God.
This understanding undergirds his approach to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, powerfully informing the justices' unyielding commitment to limited government and equal justice before the law.
Over the last five years, Justice Thomas has authored more opinions than any of his colleagues on the Supreme Court.
His influence only continues to grow, and he's beloved by the scores of people who know him.
He knows the names of the children of the marshals who guard the courthouse.
He's mentored generations of clerks, treating them like family, and his distinctive hearty laugh rings out within his judicial chambers.
May God bless this great, good, and brilliant man, and may he serve on the court many years longer.
Be with you.
So...
I... I have no doubt I prompted the CBC here, because there was so much attention paid to this, what Howard said, called effing idiot Dennis Prager, who, by the way, he noted at the outset he never heard of.
Now, folks, this is not a brag, but if you never heard of me and you're in broadcasting, you truly live in a bubble.
The lack of intellectual curiosity in this man's life is actually amazing.
What is her name?
His associate for many years?
Yeah, Robin Quivers.
I heard of him.
Anyway, so...
The CDC comes out with, no, no, no, no, no.
The vaccine is better than natural immunity, which is scientifically drivel, and it's just a lie.
Just among the many scientists who have called out the CDC on this is a neurosurgeon and data analyst, Bahesh Shanae, S-H-N-E-N-A-I, MD, obviously.
This article is a confluence of methodological flaws that amplify to serve the predetermined message of the CDC. Okay, just thought I would share that with you.
It is a confused document both accepting natural immunity but illogically recommending a vaccine anyway.
Yes.
Okay, so he's not the only one.
Alex Berenson wrote, the CDC hits a new low, and I didn't think it was possible.
Yeah.
It fully politicized public health agency.
The Israeli study drew on a meaningful data set and a meaningful way to reach meaningful conclusions.
It found that vaccinated people were 13 times as likely to be infected and 7 times as likely to be hospitalized as unvaccinated people with natural immunity.
So, completely unbeknownst to me, a little innocent me broadcasting from my house because I was still in the quarantine period, started the whole debate.
On natural immunity versus vaccine immunity.
I'm happy I did it.
That's all I can say.
Every one of our institutions has been corrupted by the left.
CDC, NIH, FDA, FBI, CIA, American Medical Association.
You name the group.
Not to mention teachers' unions and teachers.
It's really something.
But you know what?
We're fighting back.
Don't give up, my friends.
We're fighting back.
The Lincoln Club, this anti-Republican group of lost souls, stand in front of the headquarters of the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia with...
What is it?
Tiki Tok?
Is that what they're called?
Just...
No, no, no.
TikTok is the...
It's Tiki Fires.
Tiki Torches.
Nothing to do with TikTok.
Tiki Torches.
Right.
To show that they support...
That they support Youngkin.
The Republican who...
Apparently, it's neck and neck, which is amazing.
Although McAuliffe is one of the lowest among Democrats, which is sort of silly since they're all low.
It's very sad what's happened to the Democratic Party.
Anyway, they stand there to say, this is what the Republicans are.
We are, and we support them.
That group is headed by the guy who ran Romney's campaign.
So you have an idea of the moral stature of the Romney campaign, which I worked for.
My theory generally is that virtually any Republican is better than virtually any Democrat, not almost virtually.
Manchin might be an exception.
Maybe Sinema will turn out to be an exception.
It's very painful to meet a Republican who stands for nothing.
They might be personally honorable people.
One has nothing to do with the other.
But they have no ideology, that they don't understand what the battle in America is about.
John McCain was one of them.
And so was Mitt Romney.
I campaigned for both.
It's a picture of McCain and me up in my office.
More is a fun picture than, God, am I proud to be in this picture.
I don't take pictures to be proud of.
Although I will admit there is one picture of me and a public person.
I've never sought to be with public people.
You know, I've never met Donald Trump.
I never sought to.
And there is, however, a picture of me in my early 30s with Pope John Paul II. I have all brown hair, and now I have all white hair.
But otherwise, pretty much the same guy.
Did he have hair?
I think he did, but it might have been thinning.
It's a good question.
That was a fascinating and wonderful trip.
That it was arranged for such a young guy to meet the Pope.
But I've been in public life since I was 21 years of age.
So yeah, I know my age because I got married the next month.
So I was 32. Yes.
That picture, can't believe I haven't lost it.
But I still have it.
And that one, I really like.
He's a historic figure.
So it's a fun picture.
But I wonder if you saw it, if you'd even know who was with the Pope.
Because I look different than I did at 32, to be honest.
I look better today, but different.

It was translated by Media Matters, which lies for money.
That's what they do for a living.
Media Matters lies.
And they said Prager licks forks from the floor.
I never used the word lick.
All I said was, I don't tell the waiter to bring me a new fork.
I wipe it off and use it.
It's my way of not living in dread of dropping dead.
Okay?
I'm a happier man thanks to that attitude.
No one at Media Matters is happy.
They're all miserable.
They're all unhappy.
They're all misguided and empty.
That's what constitutes the whole left.
So, that was the extent.
But I did prompt the CDC to come out with nonsense, and Israel has demonstrated in the Cleveland Clinic and others that it is nonsense.
My friends, the fact remains, it is better to have natural immunity than vaccine immunity.
This is not a knock on the vaccine, but it is a statement of what is true.
