The only insurrection in modern history where the insurrectors or the insurrectionists were unarmed.
Very poorly planned insurrection.
Gotta say that.
So after nearly a year of destruction by left-wing mobs all over the country in every big city, burnings of police departments, people dead, beaten, and takeovers of areas which are then called autonomous zones, After all of that, the only thing that the media talk about is the insurrection.
It's like the thugs in Germany who use the Reichstag fire to take more power.
Remember, the left will use anything to gain more power and to give more power to central authority.
COVID is the best example.
The amount of authority given to people, they can tell you you can't open your store.
You can't eat in a restaurant.
They can tell you that.
That's unprecedented power over American citizens, to the best of my knowledge.
They will shut you up.
I just finished Alex Berenson's book, Epidemia.
Pandemia, sorry.
Thank you!
Wrong emic.
I did the epidemic, not pandemic.
In April of 2020, I said it was the greatest mistake in history.
The universal lockdown turned out to be right.
And on the anniversary of my declaration of that, I will retweet my tweet.
The damage done is greater than I even predicted, especially to children.
What has been done to children is calculated child abuse, the robbing of children of their childhoods for no reason.
I repeat, no reason.
To see hysteria take over much of the world and nearly every one of its governments?
Is a very, very sobering experience for the human condition.
To see people sheep-like walk in the streets with masks, as I do here in Los Angeles, is nothing other than depressing.
Tommy Horowitz did such a video in Manhattan asking people who are masked, why do you wear your masks?
You want to do me a favor, Sean, pull up that video.
Of Ami Horowitz, it's a few months ago, in Manhattan, asking people why they're wearing masks.
And the answers that they received.
I'll have more on this in a moment because a truly courageous professor...
Oh, here we go.
Go on.
That's literally crickets.
Yes.
Okay.
No matter what.
Okay, that's great. that's great.
Thanks, Sean.
I appreciate it.
Everybody in my studio thanks you.
There was not a coherent answer.
I feel better.
Everybody does it.
I don't know why.
Just I want to do it.
People don't understand that a big price is paid in society for people having their face covered.
It's a veil.
People think that it's a wonderful thing, that there are so many women veiled in Muslim countries.
countries?
Is that a model for us?
I bet you most of those people interviewed went to college.
So, Ana, I was about to tell you something that has nothing to do with the COVID or the news.
A personal experience, because I figured I could be the A, not the, a mouthpiece for many people, because I have a microphone, and obviously most people do not.
I was supposed to get a package, a very important package, by the way, yesterday, and UPS sends me a notice that the package was delivered until the time, and they have something called Proof of delivery.
What's the proof of delivery?
That the person who delivered it says it's left on porch.
That's the proof of delivery.
Is that all right?
I'm told that Amazon delivery, and I always try to boost the competitors to Amazon because I don't want one company to dominate everything.
But I'm told that Amazon, under proof of delivery, shows you a picture of the package.
That's proof of delivery.
Proof of delivery left on porch, that's a joke.
Is that a UPS joke?
Anyway, I never received it.
So if he left it on a porch, the delivery person, it wasn't my porch.
So the proof of delivery is...
Non-existent.
There is no proof of delivery.
It wasn't delivered, and there's no proof.
But it's called proof of delivery.
Maybe somebody who works for UPS is listening, can explain that.
We live in a world where there's such fakery from corporations to media, Government.
It's just fakery.
Can you contact UPS and tell them that they should ask the person who delivered it?
I realize this immediately.
I've been awaiting this important package.
You can't say, you know, ask the driver where he left it.
I can find this driver.
I could find...
I don't know.
I can't think of an analogy.
I could find a needle in a haystack more rapidly than I could find a driver who claims proof of delivery.
I wonder if that has happened to any of you.
It's a very interesting thing that people put up with fakery so much.
You know, when I read ads for my sponsors, There are words thrown in, and I'll be honest with you, almost every ad says, so call my friends at, and unless they're my friend, I always drop that, because I don't want to say something that isn't true.
They may be a fantastic sponsor, and many are, but they're not my friends.
Some are, a handful, but some aren't.
Or only for my listeners.
But it's not true.
It's for anybody's listeners.
Again, a world of fakery, like proof of delivery.
The end of the time you can come to Christ, when the spirit of Christ is born.

Hey, you in Chicago!
Listen to this one from National Review of Chicago.
Public schools cancel in-person classes after teachers' union votes to strike.
I am now convinced there is nothing damaging.
That the teachers can do to kids in our schools that will convince people to take their kids out of school.
There is literally nothing they could do other than perhaps beat up kids.
But actually, to tell you the truth, the old knuckle...
What is it?
They would knock their knuckles?
What is the verb to be used when a teacher would not smash?
Wrap.
Yes, wrap.
Thank you.
Much better to wrap kids' knuckles or give them a swat on the butt than to do what has been done this year.
Two years.
No school.
Can't see another kid's face.
Can't see a teacher's face.
Can't breathe properly.
Even though more kids are dying of flu or automobile accidents than of COVID. Teachers unions have no regard for children.
None.
I believe the sanitation union and the Major League Baseball.
Well, we forget Major League Baseball.
But probably.
I think that anybody, any group has more regard for children than the teachers unions and the teachers who support them.
You can't get away from this.
Oh, I love kids, but I support the union.
Please, please, you're lying to yourself, which is the ultimate hopeless state.
You want to lie to me?
Okay, don't lie to yourself.
Teachers unions have contempt for children.
Utter, total contempt.
They are selfish, narcissistic, money-driven morons.
Morons because they aren't very deep in what they teach as well.
Let's learn how crappy America is.
Let's learn that you're really not a boy or a girl until you decide you're a boy or a girl.
Chicago public schools will cancel in-person classes Wednesday.
That's today.
Ta-da!
After the Chicago teachers' unions voted Tuesday to strike against in-person schooling and conduct remote instruction until the Omicron spike subsides.
This is for all you vaccinated folks.
Oh, it's the pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Another lie.
With 73% in favor, 73% in favor, the union's 22,000 members voted to take a remote work action starting Wednesday.
General membership was asked to make a final decision on the proposal after the House of Delegates Voted 555 to 77, with 88% in favor.
88% to advance the item earlier Tuesday.
The suspension of in-person teaching could continue until January 18th, or until the virus infection rate in the district hits below the threshold set last year.
Well, the virus infection rate.
Wow.
Why?
Okay.
Why does that matter?
CTU leaders, Chicago Teachers Union, argue that the COVID-19 variant surge is putting teachers and students at risk.
That's what I mean by morons.
That's moronic.
You can't be a terribly bright human being if you believe that.
And it would be irresponsible to return to school.
Oh.
It's not irresponsible to deprive kids of school for nearly two years.
It's irresponsible to return to school because scared people teach your children.
These are not adult models teaching your children.
But people won't take their kids out of school.
And I understand.
It's a big pain.
Big, big pain.
Tell that to your kids later.
Yeah, it was too troublesome to take you out of school and homeschool you.
Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwadi reiterated that the virus poses minimal risk to children, and therefore a reversion to school closure is unreasonable, especially given that the district plans to expand its testing regime.
Wow.
So the teachers shouldn't claim that it's dangerous.
The hypochondriac public health commissioner in Chicago, all public health commissioners are hypochondriacs, but even, is it a man or a woman, but even this woman says there's no reason not to go back to school.
Maybe teachers are lazy.
Not all.
All generalizations have exceptions.
Maybe they're just lazy.
Maybe they like this regime.
They get paid anyway, right?
Believe me, if they didn't get paid, if they didn't teach in person, they would be teaching in person.
You can bet your child's future on that.
Chicago Teachers Union.
But the press will focus.
Especially tomorrow.
In Chicago, they'll focus on January 6th, not on the contempt teachers have for children.
There is a solution.
Take your kid out of there.
Do everything you can, at least for the foreseeable future, to avoid the Chicago public schools.
Thank you.

*music* How buoyed are you that Americans are finally waking up, J.D.? 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.
You know, 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.

So I wrote about how America, despite the suppression of freedom here, is freer than any other country in the West.

And he is now in Vancouver.
And if you can watch this, and you can, if you can see, is Alain there?
Great.
He is now in front of a mural he has made of the Canadian flag on a sheep.
I had actually suggested in my column that they replace the maple leaf with the sheep, but he has done it in his way.
Now, we're both laughing, so Alain, let me ask you a question, and then I want the details of what's happening in Canada.
But I just want to know, you're a lifelong Canadian.
You've loved it in your country.
Is this shocking to you?
It is shocking to me, Dennis, and what's most troubling to me is the level of support by the population for all of the restrictions that are being imposed on us.
And it's almost, you know, being someone who doesn't think we should get vaccinated or there's not an absolute crisis is a little bit like Being a Trump supporter in a Joe Biden rally, right?
You just stay in the closet because people are scared and people support the measures.
If you look at Quebec, which now has severe restrictions and a curfew, just recently the level of support for the provincial government was at 70%.
A curfew.
Why does the curfew help prevent COVID? Well, the government of Quebec is a banned gathering.
So you stay in your house with your family.
You can't have visitors.
And they say with a curfew, it will help ensure that people do not break that.
Oh, I see.
What do Canadians think that America is the land of death?
Is that how they dismiss our freedoms compared to Canada?
Well, I've had many discussions recently with Canadians, and as you know, a lot of people out east in Canada vacation into Florida and the U.S., and people are shocked.
When they hear about Florida, that they go the opposite way of Canadian, as in you can't ask people if they are vaccinated.
In Canada, you have to ask them if they're vaccinated.
They have to show proof of vaccination, let's say, to go to a restaurant to get on an airplane.
And here, their restrictions are...
Greater and greater to get more and more people vaccinated.
So when they hear in Florida that you can't force people to wear a mask or get vaccinated, yeah, they do think they have it backwards.
So are they visiting Florida?
Because that's a very big destination for Canadians, especially from Quebec.
That is correct.
That is correct.
So they have these groups.
They call them the...
I forget what they're called.
The Snowbirds.
Yeah.
And I've read about them.
And a lot of French Canadians, people from Ontario, have gone down this year to Florida.
All right.
I want to get their reaction in a moment.
I've got to take a break.
This is...
Folks, you have no idea the amount of restrictions that our neighbor to the north is engaged in.
And people have accepted.
I'll return with Hélène Lambert in a moment.

Southwest was devastated this week.
Straight up lying, talking about it was the weather.
The reason why 2,000 flights were canceled over the weekend, Friday through Sunday, and then over 300 or nearly 400 more on Monday.
But the truth of the matter is, a lot of these people just caught out sick.
They just caught out sick.
They've been threatened by their employer because their employer...
Happens to be a federal contractor.
And because of that, because the federal government has their hands in Southwest Airlines, they have to comply.
Now, here's the news.
Nothing has happened as of yet.
So technically, Southwest Airlines does not have to comply right now.
And they can wait for OSHA to make whatever edict they're going to lay out that has not been done thus far.
But nonetheless, they suspect that it is coming down the pike.
You get all these pilots, 10,000 pilots, 60 to 70% of these pilots are men and women that fought for our freedom, and we're going to kick them off the freaking job.

Can you imagine the supply chain disruption?
If now we can't even unload cargo ships, and we're going to have fewer and fewer pilots?

Speaking to a Canadian entrepreneur and thinker and major bicyclist, Alan Lambert, or Alain Lambert, he's a French-Canadian, now living in Vancouver.
So you said you were talking to French-Canadians, or other Canadians, I should say, about visiting Florida and being shocked at the freedoms there.
So do they question?
Canada, or do they think they were jeopardizing their lives by going to Florida?
The latter.
So let me give you some stats here which will shock you and your listeners.
So in a very recent study, right before Christmas, a poll.
So support for a vaccine passport in Canada, 80%.
Mandatory vaccination, 64%.
Lifting restrictions, 76% of people say no, and 52% of people are afraid of contracting the virus.
And the level of support for the measures, both at the federal level and the provincial level, is such that people have this view here that the governments in Canada are doing the right thing to protect them.
And so if you think about Florida, then therefore the result is that they're not doing enough.
I could speak about my own personal experience and where a family member of mine from out east visited at Christmas here and they refused to see my wife and I and the kids and their cousins because they had heard that maybe we had been sick.
People are scared, Dennis.
I'm silent because I'm trying to digest.
I want to do both.
Your family and I want to do first the other thing.
Why would they go to Florida if they think they're jeopardizing their lives?
Right.
So there are two things, right?
So there are those who are there and I should have been clearer.
And then there are those Canadians who do not go to Florida and their view of those who go They are putting their life in danger.
So, not, wow, I have seen freedom and it works.
That's right, that's right.
People here, well, I mean, listen, in August of last year, there was an election called the federal government.
Prime Minister Trudeau, when he launched the election campaign, his number one thing is that he was going to prevent unvaccinated Canadians from being able to travel on airplane boats and trains.
And when I heard that, I said, well, that's good.
I think we're going to have a change of government as a result.
and he got re-elected.
And maybe if I could take a second, Ezra, I've got some statistics just for your listeners so that they understand the backdrop of it all, So Canada is 38 million people, right?
So it's sort of the same population as California.
We have 10 provinces, you've got 50 states.
The life expectancy in Canada is 82 years old.
As of today, there's been 30,000 deaths with or, well, let's call it with COVID. And to date, 61% of those deaths are people who are 80 years or older.
Quebec and Alberta, which account for 50% of the COVID deaths, they have great statistics on the government websites.
And in Quebec, where they've had 11,690 deaths with COVID, So far, only 255 are without comorbidities.
In Alberta, where there's been 3,322 deaths with COVID, only 143 have been without comorbidities.
So that, to me, is important, right?
So why are people scared?
Well, they're not scared because the data suggests that they should be scared.
The media and the governments...
Have made people's care.
And we've seen before, just before Christmas or around Christmas, people lining up for four, five, six hours in very, very cold temperature.
It is Canada, after all, and it is winter, to get tested.
Everybody wants to get tested.
Why do they want to get tested?
If they don't have symptoms, why do they care?
You know what?
I've been able to establish...
Because every time somebody says, I got tested, or I know somebody got tested.
Why did you get tested?
Why did you get tested?
And it's the stigma.
It's the only thing I can put my finger on.
Oh, I don't want to give the COVID to somebody else.
Oh, but even if somebody else is vaccinated.
Even if somebody else is vaccinated.
That's right.
The level of vaccination here is very high.
Of course, exactly.
So, I mean, I'm looking at this.
The statistics.
This will shock you.
In the age group of 5 to 11, there's been 40% of people in that age group have received at least one shot.
What percent?
40%.
40% of those 5 to 11 in Canada are vaccinated?
At least one dose.
I wonder if they'll thank their parents when they get older.
I hope they do, but I do wonder.
One final question, Alan, and that is, is there anything analogous to the conservative movement in America?
Is there anything analogous to talk radio, to all the websites in the United States, or to Fox News?
There is not.
So there's really no way, unless they access American media, for a Canadian to even hear the other side.
And that's correct.
And it's one of the reasons, Dennis, as you know, that I'm a donor to PragerU, because that's available in Canada, and we need to keep supporting it, and I will keep supporting it, because that's one place where Canadians can go to get a different point of view.
So, of course they're scared.
They're blanketed with only one message.
Alan, I will be in touch.
You're very precious to us.
Thanks very much.

I want you to think about this for a moment what you just heard from Alan Lambert or Alain Lambert in Canada.
it's a very common thing for Canadians to go to Florida during the winter.
Look, it's common for people in the Northeast to go to Florida for the winter.
This has been true all of my life.
So they go from a place to the winter.
Of lockdowns where you are not permitted to travel in any way except by horse or your own car if you are not vaccinated.
You can't meet with more than three other people, including family coming from outside your house.
They could live next door.
They can't come into your house.
Most Canadians support this.
Many will visit Florida, which is, of course, much freer than California.
Go anywhere you want without a mask, nobody checks if you're vaccinated, and they're doing fine.
Wouldn't you think that Canadians who visit Florida would enter what we call cognitive dissonance?
When you believe X but reality is Y, That's called cognitive dissonance.
But they don't.
That's what's amazing.
And when they go back to their friends and they're not dead, they're not shipped back to Canada in a coffin, they actually enter a plane and walk off the plane as healthy as when they departed the lockdown called Canada.
But this Doesn't change anybody's mind.
And they still visit.
How do people in Canada who do that, or who know people who do that, not question whether the assault on freedom in Canada is worth it?
40% of kids 5 to 11 in Alberta, and presumably elsewhere, and other provinces, Are vaccinated ages 5 to 11?
How many kids 5 to 11 have died of COVID in Canada?
Five?
Three?
zero?
One wonders...
Really, you just have to wonder.
Is there hope for the human race, or is it just a roller coaster of a decent period of time and then darkness?
It would appear to be the latter, but there's more light in this country.
Thank you.
There's about 57 Muslim states in the world There's one Jewish state.

Now, excuse me, by the way, I'm not saying I approve of it.
Right.
It makes me uncomfortable.
But at the same time, it seems like a strange sign of health that we feel free enough To say that...
Well, and I don't even know that we necessarily feel free.
What I would say is that the American people feel like kind of a battered spouse at this point.
Okay, you wrote an article.
And that the administration is so abusive to how they're treating people that this reaction that you're seeing, and it started out in two college football stadiums.
It's now been in dozens to hundreds.

Now, we're going to talk we're going to talk about this.
We're going to talk about this.
We're going to talk about this.
Every Wednesday, the second hour of the program is devoted to the most honest talk about men and women.
Last week, by the way, was a very powerful example of how open the talk was.
It was about women and their breasts.
And the sexual nature of breasts.
How many people talk about that on radio?
Or anywhere else?
Because anything that is sensitive in nature is avoided, lest the woke condemn you.
If fear of God were as great as fear of the woke in this country, we would have a wonderful society.
Be that as it may, it is the male-female hour.
I talk about everything about men and women.
I am not a man fan and I am not a woman fan.
At all.
I'm a good person fan.
And I'm debating, actually, between two topics.
And it's driving me crazy because they're both so good.
But I think I'm going to go with this one.
Do boys have men in their lives other than their father?
You go to school and nearly all your teachers, at least until high school, your principal, your teachers are women.
So I've got a few questions.
One, what men are in boys' lives, and not all fathers are in boys' lives, or in girls' lives?
Girls need men.
Girls need fathers.
And, you know, I just want to make it clear, if you're a single mother, the point is not to judge you.
Well, I do judge.
I judge those.
Who have decided that they don't want a man.
They don't want to get married.
They'll just have a child.
That's a tough one.
But that's not the issue.
The issue is, there are great single mothers.
I married a single mother.
Her children are spectacular.
So I recognize that.
Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of human beings need a father.
Or a father figure at the very least.
But that's not the issue specifically.
The issue is what men are in kids' lives, given that all their teachers and increasingly other people, their doctor, even their clergy person may be female, but they don't have clergy people, so we'll leave that group out.
What effect does that have?
Do you even meditate on that?
Hey, you know, there are no men in my kids' lives.
Only women.
Now, so there are three possibilities.
It's a good thing.
It doesn't matter.
It's not a good thing.
Right?
There is no fourth possibility.
What do you think?
Do you even, have you thought about it?
You think it's an issue.
1-8 Prager-776-877-243-776 Well, I'll give you one aspect of the issue.
It was what I reported last hour about the Chicago Teachers Union.
Unless I missed today's news, which I might have.
But as of yesterday, they voted to go on strike.
And they're so like in L.A. and other cities.
They're overwhelmingly women in the teachers' unions.
They're overwhelmingly headed by women.
The National Education Association or the National Teachers, whatever it is, that's run by a woman.
And they're scared.
They are really scared of dropping dead, going to a class with kids who aren't going to infect them.
Sweden kept its schools open for kids under 16 the entire 2020-2021.
And to the best of my knowledge, nobody died as a result of it.
Nobody.
Here is part of my question.
Let us say that teachers' unions were...
90% or whatever, I don't know what the percent is of women, say 85%.
If they were 85% male, do you think the same amount of hypochondriac paranoid fear, hysteria, would be taking place in the teachers' unions?
I don't know the answer, but the argument that it doesn't matter that there are no men in our kids' lives outside of Hopefully, and increasingly that is even not the case, the father, a father, that I believe is something that people should be aware of and think about.
When I went to school, half my teachers were male, I'm talking elementary school, but the reason that they were is, let me think about it, yeah.
Well, there were far more male teachers when I went to school in general, and because I went to a religious school, where half the day was religious subjects, in my case Judaism, and the other half secular subjects, all those who taught me religion were male, because they were all rabbis.
So they were all male.
And it was a very, I didn't think of it consciously, but it's a very important thing for me as a boy.
For one thing, it tells you that to be a man is to take whatever they're doing seriously.
If only women teach, then maybe those subjects are women's subjects.
That's the way a boy's mind works.
Boys need to see male models.
But if their principal is a female, Nearly every teacher is a female.
Who did I speak to?
I think it was on the air.
An elementary school teacher called the show, and he said he was the only male teacher in his school.
Oh yeah, no, no, it wasn't on the air.
There's actually a man that I know.
Yes, I was talking to a man who's an elementary school teacher, and it was shocking.
I had not met a male elementary school teacher.
In decades.
And he said he was the only one in his school.
I mean, he was a collector's item.
He loves his work.
By the way, that too is an interesting subject.
Men have entered the nursing profession.
Why haven't they entered the teaching profession?
I don't have an answer to that.
If you have a theory, I'd be very curious.
Why do men avoid teaching, especially elementary school?
Is it not prestigious?
Is that what it is?
So it's not masculine?
It's women's work?
But as I said, nursing has stopped to be women's work.
Flight attendants stopped being women's work.
But not teaching.
And by the way, the irony is, it was men's work for much of American history.
As well as women's work.
Even high school teacher.
I would like to know the ratio of female to male high school teachers as well.
I'm specifically referring to elementary school.
But the issue of no men in boys' lives is a very serious issue.
That's the subject I want to address.
During this male-female hour, 1-8-Prager-776-877-243-7776.
I don't have an answer to my question.
I often ask questions and then give you my theory as to an answer, but in this case I have zero, other than maybe working with children is not considered very male-like.
Which is unfortunate.

When there is a clash on the left between separate preferred activist groups.
Who gets preference?
Who wins?
Now, on the left, they have a hierarchy.
Not any different than a hierarchy that you have in any sort of organization.
You see...
When the left has a moment of disagreement or conflict, it is very important to realize that there is a structure of what matters more than something else.
I wrote a piece for humanevents.com where I wrote, it was literally called, This Matters More Than That.
Now a great example of this is when Fauci, the Lockdown artist, the anti-freedom activist, mad scientist, who is the best example of the technological and scientific elite that the left worships.
When he was even confronted by a talk show host, where they asked Fauci, they said, so do you think that young people should be, should stop hooking up via Tinder and Basically having very promiscuous relationships.
And Fauci said, well, you have to understand there's some risk to that.
He didn't denounce it because he understood that if he dared came out against promiscuous behavior for young people, there'd be a revolution.

-female hour, second hour every Wednesday, Dennis Prager Show.
Do kids meet men?
That's my question.
Since virtually all of their teachers, if not all their teachers, at least through high school, and most in high school as well, are female, their doctors are increasingly female, increasingly fathers are not at home, So, where are the men and kids' lives?
So, I asked, why don't men enter the teaching profession?
And they do enter college teaching, after all.
Well, that's right.
So, Sean said there's a stigma about...
Men who want to work with young children.
You mean there might be a bad reason?
They might abuse them?
No, I don't believe that one.
I'm sorry, that's absurd.
I'm not saying you're saying it, but it's absurd.
What is very possible is one you offered during the break, and that is that there isn't much money in it, and men seek higher-paying professions.
I don't know if that's true.
But that may be true.
I don't know.
What do teachers make in big cities?
You want to look that up?
Look that up.
Tell me, what is the average salary, not beginning salary, the average salary after five years, let's say, of a big city elementary school teacher or high school teacher?
And anyway, that might be a factor.
But whatever, that's part of my subject.
My bigger subject is the impact of the paucity of men on children.
Okay, let's see here.
Maria in Hudson, Wisconsin.
I know Hudson, Wisconsin.
Aren't you right over the Minnesota border?
Yes, we're right on the Twin City border.
Yes, I actually spoke there last year.
Hi.
I know.
I'm the one who helped bring you.
Oh, really?
Cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, so my husband, Jeff, who you met at that Hudson event, is a high school hockey boys coach.
He's been coaching for 29 years, high school kids.
Before that, he was in L.A. as an elementary teacher and a P.E. teacher.
And his philosophy is to help young boys become men, good men.
And he benches them if they play selfishly.
If they retaliate, he'll bench them.
He teaches them self-control, hard work, and good teamwork.
And so I believe that coaches, good male coaches, make a difference in boys' life.
Boy, is that a good call, and is that true?
And say hello to the person you know.
Yes, sports is a very important thing.
Of course, most boys are not on a team.
I mean, just by definition.
But that's right.
The coach, coaches, managers of teams.
That's a biggie.
I thank you for that.
Average 20-22 teacher salary.
All right, so flip the page.
Oh, here we go.
All right.
So let me see.
In California...
Wow.
Holy crow.
So it can't be money.
All right?
I don't think it's the money.
California, the average salary...
Let me get this...
Is this elementary school?
Is this high school?
Or is it irrelevant?
I guess it's...
Just public school.
Anyway, California, $82,282.
Chicago teachers are on strike.
Doesn't have it by city.
But in Illinois, $66,600.
I have to think that a lot of...
This is higher than the median salary in the United States.
The average teacher, $61,700.
And by the way, it's not like they're overworked.
They get an entire summer vacation, months, when they can, of course, earn more money.
They could do something else.
And it's not like their day is a very long day either.
They could easily do something else.
So I think this sort of disqualifies.
The money issue.
That's why men don't go into it.
Okay, Gabriel, San Jose, California.
Hello.
How are you doing?
Well.
Hello.
Hi.
Hey, sorry about that.
I just walked into the office.
Don't worry about it.
Just to comment, great topic for the day.
Excellent topic.
Thank you.
Men, in general, I think just for what you're talking about for the last second was why don't men go into teaching?
I think, I don't know if it's true, but what I feel is men aren't general extroverts.
They're introverts.
Until they get into sports or a music class or something, then they branch out.
But even at a young age, they look for father figures if they don't have a male in the home.
I grew up without a male.
My mother was a, how do you say, she was a lesbian, or still is.
We moved in with that family, her partner, and they had a boy and a girl.
So I had a stepbrother to grow up with and be men and go run about the streets, jump on our skateboards, do fun things.
And as I grew up...
Because I didn't have a father to call for certain questions, I started collecting father figures.
When I was traveling, I looked up to men a business.
And I would ask them tons of questions, and they would always, you know, take me under their wing.
Even still today, I have a gentleman who has taken me under his wing.
I'm about 44 years old, just when I started my business last year.
And it's growing because of him, because of the advice and the time that he takes.
So as a kid, did you consciously seek out men?
I kind of didn't.
Like teachers, I had probably about three male teachers in elementary and junior high.
And then in high school, Woodshop.
That was the, you know, he was a male.
So starting at about what age did you seek men?
I would say it was about Ten.
Okay.
Ten, eleven.
So, how did you relate to your two mothers?
Well, my mom was, she was a police officer, so she was black and white.
It is what it is.
Here's the truth.
So that kind of kept me grounded a little bit.
But my reaction to them was just ladies.
They were just ladies.
I didn't understand what it was.
Are you married?
I didn't question them.
Yes.
Well, I'm glad to hear from you.
I would do an hour on that.
Boys who grew up with two mothers.
We will do an hour on that.
And likewise, girls who grew up with two fathers.

When I came into this country, I had to have blood tests to see that I didn't have syphilis, gonorrhea, HIV. I had to show all kinds of vaccinations.
I had to show means to be able to support myself, etc., etc.
So my point being is that the law is not being upheld as we understand it.
And so I don't understand how they are circumnavigating the law again.
I mean, obviously, allowing these people into the country in the first place without proper vetting, etc., is one of the ways.
But, I mean, the laws are written for legal immigration.
There are methods and ways of doing it.
They say the system is broken, but it's not broken.
It functions.
Greg, I am deeply in your depths.
Stay where you are, because I've got a couple of questions for you, but just an addendum to your magnificent remarks.
The system is not broken.
We totally have a system that is set up to work if the laws that are on the books will only be enforced.
But that's a huge if, and they're being intentionally ignored.
So 20 years you've been here, right?
And as someone who's actually followed the law, share with me a couple of minutes of your experience on whether it was too easy, too hard, or just right.
I think it was just right.

Hi, everybody.
Male-female hour.
Wednesday, second hour.
Men in boys' lives, are they there, given that virtually all elementary school teachers and maybe most high school teachers are female?
A lot of boys don't grow up with a father in their life, certainly very many.
We're not full-time.
So do they have men in their lives?
Does it matter?
Et cetera, et cetera.
Okay, let's see here.
Mark is a teacher, Sarasota, Florida.
Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Hi.
Nice to speak with you.
Thank you.
First of all, I do want to say, as a teacher, I do use your PragerU videos in my classroom.
And I'm excited to see the Prager kids coming up.
Some great stuff, especially to use in the classroom.
Thank you very much.
How do your students react?
Very well.
Very well to it.
A lot of the stuff that I have access to is very much biased on the liberal side and it's nice to have Another viewpoint to use in the classroom.
Yep, I wish every teacher did that.
Any honorable teacher would do that.
Hey, folks, there are two sides, and we could debate them.
That's what an honest teacher would do.
Thank you for doing it.
Go ahead.
Exactly what I do in the classroom.
A couple of questions.
One, you were asking about teacher paying.
Is that a...
An issue.
I'll be right out front with you.
I make $52,000 a year in Florida.
Our governor graciously had started teacher salary this year at $47,500.
So that can kind of give you the idea.
I'm not really in it for the money.
That's clear.
But I've been teaching for 17 years.
Wow.
And I do think it's important that the students do have a male role model.
Many of them don't have that, and as much as half of my students, They don't have a father in the home.
So you realize how healthy you are being in their lives?
I do.
Not to blow my own horn or anything, but I do recognize that.
I do think it's important.
Especially in the teaching profession, there is a lot of liberal bias.
No question about it.
And try to be the counterpart to that in the classroom.
Do you get flack for doing that?
No, I don't.
I'll tell you why.
Well, one of the reasons, I've taught for 10 years in the mainstream district schools.
Six years ago, I started teaching at a charter school, which does have some control by the state, but does give us a lot more flexibility.
So I'm going to kind of shout out to any of the teachers out there.
Olympic charter schools as an option or private schools if you can do it.
I'm just curious, are you married?
Yes, and in fact, I did marry a single mother of two children, and my wife continually tells me that a huge influence, a positive influence.
I love your wife for telling you that.
So, does she work as well?
She does, but once we were married and we were both kind of settled into our marriage, we agreed that she would stay home and raise the children.
So you have a family of four on $52,000 a year?
I had a family of four at $35,000 a year.
So do you live in a suburb of Sarasota?
Do you rent an apartment?
No, no, no.
I did live in a...
Okay, I lived in a suburb of Sarasota called Palmetto.
My wife and I both at the time were making about the same salary, and we acknowledged that we needed to pay off our house.
I did own a house.
We paid it off within four years.
Being financially responsible, it's possible.
No, that's why I'm asking you this.
I want people to hear this because I beg people to take their kids out of schools that are woke and homeschool if necessary and look at what you live on.
You're a model.
You and your wife have done a...
You will be rewarded because you will probably have healthy...
It's another great subject.
Those of you who've chosen to have a parent at home, how have you managed the financial sacrifice?
Good topic.

Don't keep trying.

This is the Male Female Hour.
Do kids have men in their lives, given that virtually every teacher in elementary school is a female?
Most in high school are female.
Their doctor may be a female.
So what males do they meet, unless there's a dad in their lives?
And that's just a question.
And some may even say it doesn't matter, like...
The feminist line, a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
Maybe a kid without a man is also like a fish without a bicycle.
Since fish don't need bicycles, kids don't need men.
But that's not my position, of course.
They need men tremendously.
And why aren't men teaching in elementary schools?
Money might be an answer, but I don't think so, because I read to you some salaries.
I mean, I can't believe it.
In California, $82,000 a year.
And again, I note all the time off where you can either go fishing or actually make more money.

And I've got to say I'm incredibly thankful for the men in that church because, you know, to be honest, when I compare myself to, or look around at my contemporaries, I had other men in my life that I was accountable to.
So, you know, even when I was young and growing, you know, I wasn't just with the kids at school.
I knew there were other men in my life who cared about the decisions that I made.
And I wanted to not only honor them, but also, you know, respect kind of their influence that they had in my life.
Well, you make a very important point.
It's another reason for organized religion in our society.
Same with me, growing up Jewish.
As I noted, I went to a yeshiva, which is a religious school, half the day in Hebrew, religious subjects half the day in English, secular subjects long day, 9 to 5, and that was through the end of high school, so until I was 18. I'd say 95% of my teachers in the religious subjects were male.
The rabbi of my synagogue was male.
It was a very good thing because it told me that God and religion are not just for women.
Boys need male models.
Girls need female models, but I don't think quite as much.
You see, the irony is people say, oh, that's sexist.
Well, if it's sexist, it's anti-male.
That's the irony, what I just said.
But that's a little too deep for the folks on the left.
Okay, let's see here.
Hannah in Chicago, hello.
Hello.
Hi there.
Hi, so I have been listening to your show on Wednesdays because I happen to have an appointment and I'm in the car, and today I felt compelled to call because I'm the mother of seven boys.
So what are you, evangelical, Catholic, Orthodox, Jew, or Mormon?
Evangelical, I would say, but I've been doing a lot of reading about Orthodoxy.
So, yeah.
Very good.
Go on.
So you have seven children and you're 29?
I am 39. 39. What do I have here?
I have 8 children.
Oh, my mistake.
Yeah, you're 39. Okay, you have 8 children?
I have one daughter and 7 sons.
Oh, my God.
That is testosterone city you live in.
Definitely.
Definitely.
We are extremely blessed.
Both of my husbands and my parents are alive, so we have grandfathers.
Both my husband and I are oldest of large families, so we have uncles for our sons.
We actually live in a multi-generational house.
My in-laws and the ten of us are all in the same home.
So they have familial-male interaction.
But I felt like I should call it because it's the males outside of the home that are providing the opportunities for my sons to become men.
Like, we did it with them as little kids.
Like, you know, I helped my kids learn to sleep at the floor.
My husband was there to back up.
You know, hey, you don't listen to your mom.
Here's some consequence.
You're going to have to sleep at the floor before you go to bed.
You don't get to go to bed and tell, you know, that kind of thing.
So they needed my husband to back me up.
When they were little, you know, elementary age, when I was teaching them how to be responsible.
But it's the opportunity, so one particular, so my oldest son, he's a freshman, he started working for a man when he was 12 in his yard during the summer.
And this retired man...
It's just wonderful.
Right.
All right.
We don't need the details, but it's important to know that.
So they have your family males and non-family males.
So it's obviously great.
Yes, and it's the non-family males.
Before I say goodbye to you, I want you to tell me the names of the seven boys.
Nathan, Paul, Calum, Bryce, Winton, Edwin, and Gail.
How's Winton doing?
He's doing great.
Great.
Great.
Hey, listen.
This was special.
That's how I test.
You know, you can call up and tell me you have 12 kids.
I may ask you their names.
You better rattle them off.
Here's the...
Oh, I didn't test her.
Does she know their birthdays?
I know my two boys' birthdays, but it's much easier to know two than eight.

I grew up Pope.
Which is even worse than being poor.
Our lunch consisted of whatever my mother could scrape together from the dinner the night before.
We would have sandwiches with no meat.
My American dream entailed working hard and making $20,000 a year.
But I surpassed that goal and became a corporate CEO. We'll all be able to say, free at last!
Free at last!
Hello, y'all.
I'm Dennis Prager.
The topic of the Male-Female Hour, which is every Wednesday second hour today.
Where are the men and boys' lives, given that the overwhelming majority, maybe 90%, I'm just assuming, of elementary school teachers are female, and at least 50%, maybe 60% or 70% in high school as well.
And a lot of boys don't have dads in their lives.
So let me summarize your calls.
Please don't hang up, because then I can't see what you wanted to say.
At least I get your idea if I don't...
Get to talk to you.
Alright, Dan in San Antonio.
It was important to me when I grew up to have coaches as role models.
This is a big factor in a lot of your calls.
How sports gives boys a father figure in the coach.
I might add that many men say to me that I am a father figure to them.
They may even be very close to my age and say that, which is fine.
I think it's a wonderful thing, and I've said all of my life, every male should aspire to be a role model to younger men.
Billy in Philadelphia, public schools don't welcome male teachers.
That's interesting.
That's an interesting thought.
I never thought of that.
Doug in Okemos, Michigan.
Neighbor who has a boy on the basketball team asked me to volunteer to coach.
That's a good thing for men to do.
Sonny, Harleysville, Pennsylvania.
I'm a youth pastor.
Men don't really like small kids under the age of 16. That may not be silly.
I think that there's a factor there.
Men are not drawn to little kids as much as women are.
I think that's true.
I didn't think of that.
I should have.
But it's something great for them to do.
Ken in Atlanta, Georgia.
Retired elementary school teacher.
They would put behavior problem boys in my class.
And that helped a lot.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
Fred thinks fear of sexual accusations inhibits men.
Maybe it does, but I don't know if that's true, but maybe it's right.
And Tim in Minneapolis, thank you all for calling and sharing these thoughts.
In my Bible commentary, The Rational Bible, in the beginning of Genesis, I explain why God is depicted in male terms.
I think my commentary is worth it for that essay alone.
