	There's a new book out called Fight.
	I would have the author on if he'd come on, but they rarely do.
	They go on NPR, left-wing authors.
	They don't come on programs like my own.
	Even though I treat people who differ with me, even people who call me bad names, like the professor at UCLA who wouldn't even play in the orchestra.
	That I conducted three years ago at the Disney Concert Hall.
	Called me a bigot and so on.
	I had him on the show.
	But anyway, I'm just publicly inviting John Della Volpe at Harvard.
	This is what his book is about.
	Summarized by the Daily Mail, Time is on the Democrats' Side.
	Gen Z, Generation Z, is now overwhelmingly leftist, thanks to Trump, Greta Thunberg, Parkland High School shooting, and the murder of George Floyd, new book reveals.
	The new book suggests Generation Z, which has just begun reaching voting age, overwhelmingly backs Democrats, offering President Biden and his party encouragement.
	Even as they face difficult midterm elections.
	The latest polling puts Biden's approval rating at less than 40%.
	Gallup last year charted a major swing from Republican to Democrat across the nation.
	They should, they meant to Republican from Democrat.
	Daily Mail gets a lot of printing errors wrong.
	Gets a lot of, makes a lot of printing errors.
	Gets a lot of printing errors wrong is redundant.
	But John De La Volpe, polling director at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics and CEO of Social Sphere, says the latest generation of voters, shaped by the Great Recession, Greta Thunberg, race protests, and the rise of Donald Trump, suggests a brighter future.
	Generational replacement will not be kind to Trump's Republican Party.
	Just, it's worth noting that...
	I believe that the left wants Donald Trump to be the nominee for president in 2024. Even with him sidelined, as he is now, their preoccupation is with Trump.
	It's not the Republican Party, this dishonest member of the faculty of Harvard.
	Which I know is shocking to think that that might exist, but apparently it does.
	Trump's Republican Party.
	If God forbid Donald Trump were laid low by disease or even death, they would still say Trump's Republican Party.
	So if they have him as the real nominee, then they will go crazy.
	There, by the way, they are allowed to go crazy.
	Our side is never allowed to go crazy.
	Just remember that.
	All hysteria is in the province of the left.
	He listed the events and themes that shaped them, that is Generation Z, through their teenage years, starting with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
	Really?
	Really?
	Why don't you ask your Gen Z child or grandchild, do you know, can you tell me about the Occupy Wall Street movement?
	I would be shocked if 5% of Generation Z can identify the Occupy Wall Street movement.
	It is an ode to the bubble in which this Harvard professor lives.
	That he thinks Gen Z is not only aware, but influenced by the risible, which is a fancy word for laughable, Occupy Wall Street movement.
	Through the 2018 shooting in Parkland, Florida, why would that influence their vote?
	The 2018 shooting in Parkland, Florida.
	Was the shooter a Trumpist?
	The shooter was a nut.
	An evil nut.
	Yes, you can be an evil nut.
	Because guns, because they have been convinced that the Republicans stand for the right of citizens to own guns.
	And therefore one must vote Democrat?
	Because they think their schools are safer if there is a sign in the front, there are no arms allowed here, no guns, this is a gun-free zone.
	Does that make your school safer or less safe?
	It would be interesting to have that vote, a poll that was actually accurate, take that poll.
	Among Generation Z young people.
	Do you think your school is safer if it has this sign, we are a gun-free zone, or numerous people at this warning, numerous people, numerous adults at this venue are armed?
	The answer is so obvious.
	That it gives you an idea of the distortion that takes place in the realm of simple logic.
	Just logic, let alone morality and everything else that is good on the part of the left.
	Saying that gun-free zone is a safer campus is like saying defund the police.
	We'll have safer streets with defunding the police.
	The amount of murder in this country, including random murders like the throwing of people onto the subway tracks in New York City, is unprecedented in my own consciousness.
	Maybe it was like this, I don't know, in the 70s.
	This is a result of left-wing policies.
	Chaos is always their result.
	So let's see what else will do it.
	And it's March for Our Lives protests.
	That'll do it.
	It was March for Our Lives protests.
	I would like to ask Gen Z, can you identify March for Our Lives protests?
	And the moment when 17-year-old Darnella Frazier used her phone to video the murder of George Floyd.
	Well, because the press, which lies all the time, lied about the George Floyd murder, depicting it as a racist murder, that is possibly an effect.
	That's true.
	Keith Ellenson, the Attorney General of Minnesota, who is black, who is left-wing, not liberal, said on, I believe, MSNBC, this had nothing to do with race.
	And so he was never charged the officer.
	As younger people age, as younger people begin to make voting a more regular habit, there is no question that Oh God, I love these prophets of the left.
	There is no question.
	The certitude of people on the left is impressive.
	That they will be voting for the values that they've been developing over the last couple of years.
	Namely, concern about the way in which capitalism is practiced.
	That's why they don't like PragerU videos, because we make a moral and rational defense of capitalism.
	There is no other way to lift people from poverty or keep liberty.
	There is no other way.
	I will admit that big business are despicable.
	I've always said that.
	They have no moral values.
	They go solely where the winds blow.
	If they blow communist, as in the Western world, then they go toward communism.
	If they blow Nazi, like in Germany, then big business blows in favor of Nazi.
	Big business doesn't have a moral...
	Molecule in it.
	In fact, I don't know what word preceded by big does.
	Big government?
	Big pharma?
	Big labor?

	Hi everybody.
	I'd like to tell you about an interesting project I've worked on, but I'm now working on this.
	Many of you know, many of you have read my Rational Bible.
	Genesis and Exodus published already.
	Deuteronomy coming out this year.
	Later this year, but early this year, next month actually, or March.
	Before Easter and Passover is my rational Passover Haggadah.
	And I fully understand that this may not immediately interest you like my rational Bible.
	So I know that this will appeal to you as much as my rational Bible, so we're doing something interesting with the publisher.
	We're shipping 50 free copies, soon as published, to listeners who submit the most compelling reasons.
	Why they should receive a copy.
	You should explain why you would never normally buy such a book, or might not buy such a book, but are willing to email comments to me after reading the book, it's not very long, within a week of receiving the book.
	And as the book is short, it won't be a big issue.
	All requests should be sent to Dennis at DennisPrager.com.
	Put Passover book in the subject line.
	The reason that we're doing this is to read the comments that we think we will get when people read it to show you how universally appealing the book is, The Rational Passover Haggadah.
	It's orderable at Amazon.
	Majority of Democrats favor house arrest.
	For the unvaccinated.
	It's quite a party, huh?
	But they yell about Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	This young woman that I've had on my show from Holland, a Dutch woman, was on Tucker Carlson last night, and it was quite something.
	When she described the suppression of liberty in Europe, and she said something to the effect, it is not shocking that the country that started the suppressions of World War II is now...
	She was referring to Austria and the fact that Hitler was Austrian, presumably, and is now leading the utter and total suppression of liberty of the unvaccinated in Austria.
	They will have to pay up to 50,000 euros a year, which most people, that would be, I'm surprised if that's the average salary in Austria.
	Yes.
	There's never been a real love of liberty among the majority of Europeans.
	That's why the French gave the United States the Statue of Liberty.
	You have to understand, and as I repeatedly remind people, it is not natural to love liberty.
	We in America are spoiled.
	This is such a free country.
	That we think...
	That it is the human norm to want freedom.
	But as you see in the United States, it's not the human norm.
	The left part of this country doesn't give a damn about liberty.
	That's not even true.
	They don't give a damn about preserving it.
	They give a damn about crushing it.
	The freer a country, the less powerful the left.
	That's a definition.
	That's definitional.
	Freedom and leftism cannot coexist.
	In that sense, the left corresponds to human nature more than the right does.
	The right says, take care of yourself, take care of your family, take care of your neighbor.
	That's not as natural as, take care of me.
	Ta-da!
	Take care of me!
	That's the motto of the left.
	I'll take care of others, or I'll take care of me and others.
	That's the right-wing motto.
	I'll take care of me is less appealing than you take care of me.
	People want to be children, not adults.
	Freedom makes you an adult.
	Left-wingers are children, every single one of them.
	Bernie Sanders is a grown-up child.
	That's how I see him.
	He is identical, I am sure, to the Bernie Sanders he was as a kid.
	Nothing has changed.
	Take care of me.
	Have things for free.
	The idea that you take care of yourself, your family, your neighbors, is grown-up, is adult.
	That is not the yearning of the human being to grow up.
	And the vehicles to grow up, liberty, marriage, children, these are all on the wane.
	That is, what did you, yes.
	Wow, look at that.
	The average salary in Austria, 45,000 euros a year.
	There you go.
	So is it possible they will have to pay more than their whole salary if they are not vaccinated?
	Even if you had COVID? We are truly watching the decline of the West.
	It's really God versus safety.
	There are some Orthodox Jews who have declared the whole movement, the whole vaccination fanaticism of Oda.
	Avodah Zarah, as they would put it.
	Avodah Zarah.
	Idol worship.
	It is.
	It's exactly what it is.
	Idol worship.
	There is no god but safety, and Fauci is his prophet, to put it in Muslim terms.
	The Muslim proclamation of there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his spokesman or prophet.
	Democrats are more than twice as likely as other voters to favor harsh government restrictions being placed on unvaccinated people's lives, ranging from fines and house arrest to imprisonment in government facilities and loss of child custody, in a recent poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports.
	48% of Democratic voters said the government should be able to fine or imprison those who publicly question the COVID vaccine's efficacy.
	Fine or imprison just for questioning, even if you're a doctor, even if you're a Yale epidemiologist, as Harvey Risch.
	Back in a moment.
	Don't you get tired of commercials screaming at you to buy gold now with inflated promises on future values?
	In an unregulated industry, you need honest, real experts to give you solid advice to protect your wealth and top picks on the best coins in bullion based on real-time data and historical trends.
	For example, as environmental policy becomes a hot topic, one precious metal that's been significantly undervalued for years, Nick is doubling down on this pick, and you should too.
	Call Nick at AmFedCoin and Bullion to find out more.
	I've been friends with Nick for years, and he's my go-to guy when it comes to coins and bullion.
	I trust him.
	He is a good and very knowledgeable man.
	Call Nick at 800-221-7694.

	Americanfederal.com.
	Not one mistake.
	Good, good.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	My pleasure.
	I'm a green card holder.
	I have been for 20 years.
	Thank you.
	From where?
	From South Africa.
	Excellent.
	Thank you.
	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 debts.
	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.
	Keep up with what's trending.
	Subscribe on YouTube and at rumble.com The race grievance industry would have you believe that blacks get up and think about nothing else except
	except race.
	In fact.
	In fact.
	Thank you.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	You can watch now on the Salem News Channel.
	You can watch my show, and you can watch my guests.
	In this case, Eugene Kantorowicz, Professor of Law at George Mason University.
	Professor, it is a pleasure to meet you and see you.
	Hi, Dennis.
	It's a great pleasure to be on the show.
	Your book...
	Robert Talushkin had a really big impact on the life of my family, and it's great to be on the show now.
	That means a lot to me.
	Thank you, sir.
	Well, you're a kindred spirit.
	I mean, when I think about what you've worked on, like the lockdowns and Israel, and I'd like to note to everyone that Professor Kantorovich has an extremely powerful video up this week.
	At the PragerU video, I want to get the title exact.
	Does Israel occupy the West Bank?
	Just take five minutes, my friends, to look at history, which is not what it's done in most universities.
	Are you an outlier at George Mason?
	At George Mason University Law School is unusual.
	We have an echo here.
	I'm sorry, I feel bad, Professor.
	It's not me, is it?
	I have no idea what it is.
	But all right, continue.
	Let's see if something happened.
	George Mason University Scalia Law School is an unusual law school in that it's actually committed to...
	Yeah, no, no.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Folks, my listeners know this drives me out of my mind.
	Do we have any idea why this is happening, Sean?
	I know, Sean, you're not involved, but do we have any idea?
	Is the volume up on your end?
	Is that possible to hear me?
	I can hear you well.
	I know, but when you speak is the problem, not when I speak.
	Okay, is this better?
	Yeah.
	Okay, great.
	I'm sorry, yes.
	No problem.
	So as I was saying, the George Mason University Scalia Law School is an unusual law school.
	I'm going to actually...
	In that it's actually committed to intellectual diversity, not just skin color diversity.
	And so, you have professors of all sorts of viewpoints.
	But certainly in the legal academy, it's unusual.
	There's a consensus and there's a self-policing consensus about Israel and international law.
	I can tell you when I was about to speak at a conference in Amsterdam.
	And I was invited to speak.
	And the organizers of the conference were faced with a boycott by other speakers who were afraid of legitimizing my views.
	And I said, in academia, if you think somebody's views are illegitimate, you come and you argue with them.
	Why don't you do that?
	But they wanted to de-platform.
	So the reason there's a consensus in academia, I think, is not because everyone thinks the same.
	It's because people who don't think the same...
	I had a feeling that George Mason was different, because we've had so many professors from George Mason on my show during my career.
	What goes with George Mason?
	I don't know much about your university.
	I only know that if I want a professor who is not woke, I will first look to George Mason.
	Why is that?
	So I think there's a misconception that George Mason is a conservative school.
	It's not.
	It's a school that hires without adherence to ideology.
	Right, that's fine.
	And as a result, it becomes a sanctuary, in a sense, for top scholars who could not perhaps find positions elsewhere where there are, in fact, ideological litmus tests.
	And I think that's one of the things that makes Scalia Law School unique.
	Is this a result of the president of George Mason, or do you think that if the president retired, it would continue?
	So, George Mason Law School is part of George Mason University, and like many law schools, it's not so directly under the auspices of the main university.
	So, I think it has to do with a series of great deans of the law school.
	I do salute your school.
	So you wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal about the concept of essential workers and the sort of, if not absurdity, the randomness about the choices, so that bar workers were essential, for example.
	I want to come to that when we return.
	I do want to restate.
	That Professor Kantorowicz has an extremely significant video up this week at PragerU, PragerU.com, and it is the question of, does Israel occupy the West Bank?
	Relieffactor.com, 800-500-8384.
	I commend this to your attention.
	I took mine today.
	Should you have muscle or joint pain, the thing is sort of miraculous.
	It's a completely safe anti-inflammatory.
	I have added the word completely.
	Is it possible?
	Anyway, I'm not going to dwell on that.
	I'm thinking of lawyers.
	Which is a very problematic thing for truth.
	In any event, it's magnificent.
	Try it for three weeks for $19.95.
	If it doesn't work in three weeks, it probably won't work.
	That's what the manufacturers tell me and tell you.
	So try it for three weeks for $19.95 at relieffactor.com.
	Thank you.
	Fiance?
	No, I can't be your fiance.
	You're gonna go.
	You're gonna be my fiance, and you're gonna be the most amazing, fascinating, most successful man ever.
	We're only gonna be there for a few hours, eat dinner, and I promise we'll have the best breakup of all time.
	My baby, my princess.

	I'll pee a little bit.

	Trending now on the Dennis Prager Show.
	When I started teaching, I was only 25.
	I was only seven years older than my students.
	That's not a great span of time between a man and a young woman.
	It is a daily distraction.
	That's right.
	It is.
	I thank you for your honesty.
	That is exactly right.
	It is not his fault he's built that way.
	It's no more his fault than food is a distraction to the hungry.
	Okay?
	There is no difference between the two.
	So, I'll tell you an interesting story.
	Really interesting.
	Many years ago, and I can't find this on the internet.
	Maybe one of you can, and that would be of great help to me.
	I only remember that he was from a university in Indiana, but I don't remember which university.
	What did it say, Sean?
	So, he, a professor, did a study and found...
	That one of the two groups, I don't remember the second, of men most likely to divorce were high school teachers.
	And I think college teachers.
	In other words, men around a great number of young women divorced at a greater rate than any other men.
	And I had that professor on with that study.
	So if you could find that.
	I could read it to you.
	I could read it to you.
	All right, back with Professor Eugene Kantorovich.
	Does Israel Occupy the West Bank is his video, and he's active as well in the pages of the Wall Street Journal.
	He's a professor of law at George Mason University.
	I hope we've cleared up the sound issues, for which I can only say to my viewers and listeners, I am embarrassed.
	I don't know why these things happen, but they do.
	So, Professor, you wrote about...
	In the Wall Street Journal just last month about this notion of who are essential workers, people allowed to work and people who would be locked down.
	But in general, I would like to know, what is your take, if you have any, on the legality?
	I won't even speak about necessarily the medical efficacy of the lockdowns, the legality.
	The lockdowns were emergency measures taken under emergency authority that governors do have.
	And it's important that governments have emergency powers in the case of tornadoes, floods, etc., to make sure people stay inside for a few days.
	But this was something entirely different than that kind of natural disaster.
	And we see immediately the power to lockdown, which the government may indeed have.
	Is nothing compared to the even greater power of locking down and then deciding who gets out.
	And that's a really huge power.
	Because the lockdowns were in fact not lockdowns.
	They were selective lockdowns.
	There were restrictions on Americans who were deemed unimportant or unessential by the government.
	It's one thing to say there's floods outside, everybody needs to stay inside for a few days.
	It's another to have an extended period of time.
	Where people can go outside, can pursue their columns, based on whether their jobs are on a list.
	And that's a problem that's been unprecedented.
	And I'll say beyond the legal question, it's really fascinating where this idea even came from.
	Because if you read the pandemic preparedness plans that the federal government prepared before this pandemic, anticipating another 1918 flu or other catastrophe.
	In those plans, which were preparing for disasters with millions dead, things far worse than COVID, the possibility of a lockdown is not even mentioned.
	Indeed, what they say is maybe it would be appropriate to have what they call snow days, one or two days of closure, but that would be too economically and socially costly.
	So it's a radical measure, but then in particular...
	Enforcing that measure unequally is what I think raises real legal problems of equal protection and fundamental liberties.
	Because, in fact, not everybody is locked down.
	Why hasn't this gone to court in two years?
	So, Otto, what it has gone to court, there have been many challenges to lockdowns, and most of them were rejected out of hand by courts for a couple reasons.
	One, in the first few months of the pandemics.
	The government could do no wrong.
	Courts were rejecting everything.
	There's a COVID. We're very scared.
	But that started dying down, and courts started becoming more open-minded.
	But there's a Supreme Court case called Lochner, which held that people have a fundamental right to work and pursue their profession and provide for themselves, and the government has a limited ability to interfere with that.
	During the New Deal, the Supreme Court overruled The Lochner, and the idea of a constitutional right to be able to work freely became a boogeyman.
	In constitutional law, when you say Lochner, that's like the bad old pre-New Deal world.
	Now, and I think, and I've written about this in an article called Lochner Under Lockdown, one reason that the idea of a right to work became less important and on the other hand rights to all sorts of sexual autonomy became more important is I think it became most people stopped most people came to believe that the government would never very broadly interfere with people's right to work like say you guys can work and you guys can't or bar entire entire classes of professions from pursuing their livelihood now
	during the COVID pandemic that's exactly what happened that's exactly what happened The government said, you guys, restaurant owners, you can't work.
	You guys who sell marijuana in a dispensary, you can't work.
	Right, so that's my question.
	How could this be, two years later, how is this possible?
	Why aren't people suing left and right?
	People are suing, and it's what I would call a fluke of constitutional law.
	There have been lawsuits about COVID restrictions as applied to lots of things.
	Religion, abortion, Second Amendment rights, and all of those suits are sometimes successful.
	But when you sue for something even bigger, just the liberty to leave your house and work at your job...
	That, ironically, is not considered a constitutional right, which I think is a bit perverse, because without the ability to support yourself, of course, there's no point in a right to free speech.
	You can't buy a newspaper.
	There's no point in a right to bear arms, because you can't purchase a firearm.
	So the right that is, in fact, more fundamental, and if you ask people what's important to them, is it really to be able to watch the gossip columnists on the news, or is it to be able to meet with their family and go to work?
	I will pose a radical question as we come to the end, and I'd love to do this again with you.
	I, seeing the suppression, the irrational suppression of liberty in this country for two years, I am now prepared to remove all emergency powers from all governors as a matter of law.
	If there is a flood, people will stay home because they don't want to drown.
	I am willing to risk people drowning in a flood because they did something stupid, rather than have what we now have had.
	Yeah, certainly I think there's an overreach of emergency powers.
	Right, but when there is an overreach, then maybe the power itself is the problem.
	No, I think we see this in a few areas.
	We see one of the most shocking abuses of government powers in the pandemic is now the remedies for COVID, monoclonal antibodies, one of the most effective treatments, are being apportioned on a racial basis.
	So that many states say, you can get the monoclonal antibodies if you're very old and very sick.

	I was under a constant attack.
	you're not you're
	not you're
	not at the George Mason Law School Professor, as bad as things are in this country, and I am, as I said, for the removal of all emergency powers from governors, it's so obvious that you don't even have to comment on this.
	I don't want to put you on a political...
	In a political arena, but every Democrat will abuse this, by definition, and they have.
	But America is a bastion of freedom compared to Israel and Europe.
	Nobody other than Sweden has taken liberty seriously.
	Has this disturbed you?
	What's happening in many countries has disturbed me.
	But what we've seen is...
	Every country overreacts in its own way.
	So in some ways, Israel has very draconian rules, for a long time restricting people from traveling in and out of the country, even leaving the country or coming in.
	On the other hand, Israel never had a vaccine mandate.
	You were never sort of put at risk of your job or civic participation.
	In Europe, everyone has their own mishugas, as we say in Yiddish.
	Everyone goes crazy in their own way.
	But what we see, and it's very important in the United States that the largest federal mandate was struck down by the Supreme Court last week, which was a very important case, Biden's OSHA mandate, most American workers.
	What's happening in many European countries is people who are unvaccinated.
	Are being excluded from public life.
	And you see this also in places like New York, and it's quite extraordinary.
	As a legal matter, I think there's precedent for states being able to require vaccinations in many cases.
	I think in the case of COVID, that case, that argument's becoming increasingly arbitrary, as the vaccine that they're proposing to give people is a vaccine for a different virus.
	And so today, when they're pushing vaccines on people...
	It's a vaccine that was made for a different virus.
	That seems completely arbitrary.
	But the leading case in America on which this whole authority to vaccinate people is based on is called Jacobson versus Massachusetts.
	And it said that the state of Massachusetts could require that people either be vaccinated or get a $5 fine.
	It's about $160 today.
	So that doesn't provide for the authority of the state to compulsorily vaccinate people.
	It provides the authority to give you a parking ticket if you do something in the state obnoxious.
	All right.
	But today, people's participation in public life is being conditioned on there.
	Yes.
	All right.

	Amazing how fast the weeks go.
	It blows my mind.
	As I've told you, I measure the speed of life by week.
	Days take their allotted time.
	Months do, but weeks fly by.
	So once again, we are at the Male Female Hour.
	I think it's the most honest talk about men and women, and there are two reasons.
	A, I have no inhibitions.
	With regard to talking about men and women, and even sexual matters, they're part of life, they should be addressed.
	And the other is that I am neutral.
	I am not a man fan or a woman fan.
	I'm a good person fan.
	And the distribution of jerks and fine people is pretty much balanced between men and women.
	Today's subject is divorce.
	And I specifically have two questions to you.
	And only call in on these questions, please.
	Thank you.
	Question number one, looking back, if you are divorced, looking back, do you wish you had worked harder or differently to maintain your marriage?
	The other question is the flip side.
	Looking back, do you think you made a mistake in staying in your marriage?
	There you go.
	Every so often, I pose questions.
	I obviously comment on what you say, for the most part.
	But, as I said, every so often I pose questions, and the amount that I and other listeners learn is quite remarkable.
	Having people from every walk of life call in.
	And answer the questions I pose about their lives is a real doctorate in human life.
	So, call in 1-8-Prager-776 or 877-243-776.
	Two questions.
	Do you think you divorced too easily?
	Do you wish you had divorced?
	If you didn't.
	Divorce is a tragedy.
	But it's not a moral failing.
	It's a moral failing if you have hurt your marriage.
	That's true.
	But a lot of times divorce is between two good people.
	Neither of whom is a villain.
	Used to be...
	It's one of the few, I think, good changes, although many would disagree with me.
	If a person were divorced, they couldn't run for president.
	It was considered a shame.
	It's a very tough issue in a certain sense because society has a vested interest in people maintaining a stable home.
	I've been divorced.
	It was tragic.
	It is painful.
	I think that the issue of children, I've felt this before I was ever married, because I worked with young people a great deal, and a lot of them came from divorced homes, and I concluded prior to my ever marrying,
	let alone divorcing, That the problem or the challenge to children is not the divorce as much as it is what happens after the divorce.
	If the two parties are decent and mature, which is not the majority of cases, but if they are, and they put the children before their anger or hurt, Ben, the child can do fine in life, as so many children whose parents have divorced have done in life.
	But the question on the table for today is not children, although that might figure in your answer.
	It's an interesting question to which I don't even have a clue.
	I wouldn't even hazard a guess.
	Do more people regret that they divorced, or do more people regret that they stayed married?
	It sounds a little dark, but it's not dark to me.
	It's a mature question that is worthy of a response.
	See, there are two types of long marriages.
	Happy and not happy.
	The fact that people are together for 40, 50 years is a wonderful thing, but there are people who've stayed together that long because they didn't have the heart to divorce, not because it was a joy-filled marriage, and not every marriage.
	I understand that every marriage has non-joy-filled moments.
	That's fine.
	So anyway, this is the question.
	All right.
	Let's go to Ryan in East Point, Michigan.
	Hi there.
	Hi, Dennis.
	How are you?
	Well, thank you.
	Great.
	So a few years back in 2019, I ended up getting divorced.
	We hadn't been married very long, only about two and a half years.
	We got married very young.
	I was, let's see, 2019. I would have been 23 when we got married, and she was 18 years old.
	But we figured, why waste time?
	Because it felt like the right thing to do.
	But we grew apart, as young people tend to do sometimes as they're continuing to grow.
	And she decided she wanted something else out of life.
	And initially, I pushed back pretty hard.
	I had made a promise forever, and I guess that she had not.
	But looking back, I guess I'd rather have a partner than a captive.
	And I would have felt, if she was unhappy and I'd managed to stave off the divorce, I would have felt more like I had a captive than a partner.
	So your answer to my question is that...
	You think it was the right thing?
	I think it was the right thing.
	By the way, I must say, I don't know if it's your phrase, but it's a very intelligent one.
	I'd rather have a partner than a captive.
	Thank you.
	You're welcome.
	That was good.
	That's quite right.
	Anybody mature would rather have that.
	Incidentally, I've done maybe twice in the male-female hour.
	I have twice done the subject of, do you believe it is better to have been married and divorced than never to have been married?
	I'm adamant that it is better to have been married and divorced than never have been married.
	And I don't remember many calls.
	It's not possible.
	There are tens of thousands that I've had.
	But I remember this one.
	Young woman, I'd say under 40, or 40 maybe, and she called in and disagreed with me.
	So that was one of the few times that she did differ with me.
	And she was a single woman who had never been married, and I asked her, after she expressed her disagreement, I asked her a question.
	If I had two men that you could date.
	But you could only date one of them.
	And the only thing you knew, they were 45 years old.
	The only thing you knew that differentiated them was one had been married and divorced and one never married.
	Which one would you date?
	And that opened her eyes and she said, I now see and I agree.
	Better to have been married and divorced.

	Okay, everyone.
	A very sensitive issue today on the Male-Female Hour.
	Every Wednesday, the second hour of my show.
	And the subject is divorce.
	If you've divorced, do you think you've divorced too easily or too soon?
	And if you stayed together, do you think you should have divorced?
	Those are the two questions on the table here.
	Let's see.
	What do I have?
	Just to give you an idea.
	This is obviously not scientific, nevertheless.
	It's around the country.
	This is fascinating.

	Alright, let's see here.
	Let me take the one about the bad marriage in Dallas.
	By the way, somebody hung up.
	That doesn't mean I won't take your call.
	I understand why you hung up, you thought, because I usually summarize when I don't take calls.
	I'm just telling people how varied the responses are.
	I didn't want you to hang up, and so nobody has to hang up.
	Dallas, Michael, hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Hi.
	Great talking to you.
	Difficult subject.
	Yep.
	But yes, you said it.
	I've been married for 19 years.
	I knew it was a bad marriage a long time ago, but I have a high threshold for pain, and we still have two young children.
	Very young.
	And my wife knows that I'm the type of guy who would never leave, and I'm afraid I'm spending the rest of my life miserable.
	Well, there are two separate issues.
	First, just tell me the ages of your children.
	From 18 to 9. Right, okay, so some are not that young at all.
	Okay, your wife knows you would never leave.
	Then you said, I'm the type of guy who just endures this stuff.
	But you didn't finish the sentence.
	Your wife knows you wouldn't leave, and therefore what?
	They don't mind riding me like a mule.
	I mean, it's not like your previous caller said.
	I just want a partner.
	I want somebody who can...
	Right.
	So why are you staying?
	Or why have you stayed?
	Because I love my children at home.
	I was raised.
	Okay, that broke up a little bit.
	I'm sorry, Dennis.
	Because of the way I was raised.
	You were raised in such a home?
	Yeah, but you stay married.
	You work.
	You man up.
	Right, I completely understand.
	Okay, so...
	So your question is, will you hurt your children if you leave?
	I'm sorry, Dennis.
	You cut out.
	Yeah, I know.
	We're not having a great connection.
	It's very sad.
	The question is, do you think you will hurt your children if you leave?
	Is that why you're staying?
	I think it'll hurt everybody, including her.
	If I want to hurt her, it would probably ruin her.
	She could be happy.
	She would be happy for the next 40 years.
	It's me.
	You're unhappy.
	We're two different people.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	I feel like we're working for two different goals.
	Right.
	Have you gone to marital therapy?
	No, sir.
	And the reason?
	Just money.
	I work so much and we have, you know, just try to get...
	You can't afford it.
	Okay, I understand.
	Alright, look, there are so many separate issues in your case.
	My heart breaks for you, my heart breaks for everybody concerned.
	Life has tragedy.
	This is in the realm of tragedy, no villain, from what I heard.
	Sounds like a good man.
	So let me give you some general takes.
	I used to think that there was a nobility in waiting until the children got older.
	In theory, it sounds noble.
	In practice, it doesn't seem to work.
	In what I have viewed, not in my own personal life, but what I have viewed in the lives of others.
	Kids who are in college and whose parents divorce are as jolted as kids who are in high school and the parents divorce.
	Everybody, I think, would agree the younger the better.
	If the kid's two years old and you divorce, there's really no jolt.
	So the waiting issue for the sake of the children, I don't think it's noble-sounding.
	But I don't know.
	And I'm so careful with my words because I know that a lot of people trust me.
	And you should.
	I'm trustworthy.
	But I could be wrong.
	I am telling you, though, what I have seen.
	The notion that people will be devastated is often not true.
	It seems that way before you divorce.
	Most people have resilience.
	I think that the human being has a right to not be life imprisoned.
	A good human being should not have life imprisonment.
	And a bad marriage is a form of life imprisonment.
	A few general statements.
	Alright, good luck to you, Michael.
	All right, when we come back, I will take more calls.
	I have another little personal view on the matter.
	All right.
	There's nothing better than a good marriage and nothing worse than a bad marriage.
	That's how powerful marriage can be, depending which you have.

	It's the male-female hour and it's an intense one.
	Divorce is an intense subject.
	My heart goes out to everybody involved in these things.
	But there is no excuse for some things that are common, like poisoning children against the ex-spouse out of anger.
	It enters the realm of evil.
	But that's not the subject.
	The subject is, do you think you divorced too soon?
	Do you wish you had divorced sooner?
	That's the question.
	And we have so many answers.
	George, Thousand Oaks, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I have a little bit to say about this.
	I was married 19 years, and every day of it was agony.
	And I would say that if you both agree that it's time to divorce and you don't have kids, you should divorce as soon as possible.
	If you have kids and you agree you should divorce, you should do it when they're younger.
	You're doing no favors to the children by waiting until they're 18 or 19 or finishing this or that.
	That there's bitterness between you, and it affects them, and it affects them for years to come.
	And that was my direct experience.
	I'm also a child of divorce.
	My parents divorced.
	Why did you stay together 19 years?
	I was like you.
	I believe that, okay, I'll stick this out.
	I'll make it work.
	I'll turn this square peg into a round hole, no matter what it takes.
	Was that her attitude as well?
	I'm sorry?
	Was that her attitude?
	Why did she stay 19 years?
	I really don't know, actually.
	Oddly, I don't know.
	Possibly the same thing.
	Our kids.
	Huh.
	So if she called me, she'd also say 19 years of daily agony?
	Probably.
	Yes.
	If I could add one more thing.
	Since I have two wonderful kids, oddly enough, I would do it all over again.
	I would rather sacrifice 19 years of my life.
	Yes, just to have those two kids.
	I totally support that.
	But you didn't have to go through the agony to have the wonderful kids.
	Correct.
	Right, okay.
	I'd love to speak to his ex-wife.
	Why did you stay?
	Okay, let's get a woman here.
	Leah, L-A-Y-A, in Sacramento, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	It's actually Leah, L-E-Y-A. Oh, my error.
	Uh-oh.
	Do I go to...
	Wait, I think I deserve the punishment.
	forgive me alright so I want everybody to know that when I when I screw up I get punished too Alright, Leah, and don't feel bad that you were the catalyst.
	There is no hard feelings with regard to you.
	That's an interesting, by the way, are you the only L-E-Y-A you know?
	I am the only L-E-Y-A. Sometimes I played off as Princess Leia from Star Wars, and other times, Leia from the Bible.
	I play on both sides.
	Of course, that's L-E-A-H. But okay, great to hear from you.
	Go ahead.
	Actually, in Armenian, my name is L-E-A-H. My parents misspelled it when they came to the United States 30 years ago.
	Oh, so you're Armenian background?
	Armenian background.
	So I, you know, I am broadcasting from Yerevan West.
	I know.
	I was going to say, Badev, you're in Glendale.
	Exactly correct.
	All right, so tell me what's on your mind.
	Well, I got married very young.
	I was 18, and I was married for three years.
	And when I heard your question, I've thought about it many times before, and I have at times still mixed feelings.
	You know, should I have fought harder?
	Should I have left sooner?
	And my final conclusion comes to if you're unhappy and you've tried, you've done the best that you can do, the best thing you can do for yourself is to leave.
	For me, the hardest part was the community, the social pressure, my parents being very involved in church.
	You know what?
	Hang on then.
	I'm very curious about that.
	That's right.
	I totally understand that.

	music Hi everybody.
	Male-female hour.
	Two questions.
	Do you think you divorced too soon?
	Second question.
	Do you think you should have divorced and didn't?
	Did you wait too long?
	Or still waiting?
	Now, I have Leah.
	By the way, Leah, about your name, my wife, who always, every show, For 17 years, or 15 years, whatever it is, we IM the whole time instant message.
	She points out, I should not have gone into the punishment room, but your parents should have gone into the punishment room.
	We're spelling your name that way.
	It's a very funny reaction.
	Anyway, you divorced after three years.
	You're still young, obviously.
	By the way, are you remarried?
	Yeah.
	I'm not remarried, and hopefully one day soon I will be.
	Are you on any internet site?
	I am.
	I am currently on site.
	If the right thing comes along, I'm very open to marriage.
	I don't have any bad views of getting married.
	Would you like to leave?
	Yes, I would.
	All right.
	Alright, so I just, I held you over because you mentioned that, so you're 37 and this happened, how old were you when you divorced?
	I was around 20, 21 when I decided to leave.
	Alright, so you've been single for more than 15 years.
	Yes.
	And was it because there was a reluctance to remarry for a while?
	Well, I think because I did not, at the time, I did not have the best view of marriage.
	I think I found a lot of things that were maybe the reasons why I did not want to pursue marriage in my 20s.
	And some things that I had to overcome.
	How bad was the pressure from family and or community and or church not to divorce?
	Well, it was a very difficult decision because in my culture, you work things out.
	Divorce is oftentimes not an option.
	And church, it's very frowned upon.
	So it was my parents being very involved in church.
	It was a very difficult decision for me to make.
	And I oftentimes wondered, am I being selfish for not being happy?
	Should I just put a fake smile on and be happy?
	And I tried.
	I tried to work at it the best that I could.
	But one final conclusion that I came to is I can constantly work at my relationship.
	But I will always be unhappy if the other person is not willing to put in the same kind of effort.
	If I'm the only one fighting for my relationship, it's never going to work.
	And that was the problem I was having at the time in my relationship.
	Maybe it could be because it was a cultural thing.
	Oftentimes, women get married and you mold to the ways of your husband.
	You make things work.
	And oftentimes I find that women are always trying to make their relationships work and molding to the ways of their husband.
	And I'm not sure if it's because maybe...
	Well, women do...
	I think women do...
	The nature of women is...
	Is to adapt to the husband's life.
	I know that sounds awful to women who went to graduate school and don't think clearly, as men who go to graduate school don't either, by the way, just on other matters.
	But there's no excuse for only she working at it.

	Christopher in Cary, Illinois.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	How are you?
	Well, thank you.
	Good.
	I was married for approximately 17 years, and it was hell.
	It truly was.
	She was abusive.
	Conniving, evil.
	But we had three kids together.
	And three boys.
	And there was no way I was going to leave them.
	I knew in the back of my head or my heart that I would likely never see them again if we got divorced.
	And we did agree to a divorce at one point, about a year before the marriage finally ended.
	And she came right out and said that.
	So we stayed married.
	We went to counseling a few times.
	That was a bust.
	That didn't work out very well at all.
	Eventually, she came up and concocted a plot to basically pretend that I beat her and get myself arrested.
	She was a lawyer, by the way.
	Ultimately, we got divorced.
	It took a couple years.
	I wound up with custody of my boys.
	Wow.
	Well, your fear was misplaced.
	Well, it took a couple years, and it was horrible.
	And with the help of her father, financially, and her sister, who was also a lawyer, she helped me as well.

	You're clear.
	Okay.
	Yep.
	So, yeah, I was married for 23 years.
	And then my husband had what we would describe as a crisis gone too far, midlife crisis gone too far.
	We were 50, and he said he was not happy.
	He wanted a divorce.
	So we tried going to a marriage counselor.
	Marriage counselor said, gave good advice, which he didn't listen to.
	He said, if you think that...
	Staying married is difficult.
	Try getting a divorce.
	But he didn't listen and he got a divorce.
	He moved out of state.
	He gave up his career and walked away from his family.
	Fast forward, let's see, 15 years later at my son's wedding, he took my sister aside and said, I'd like to tell you something for you to tell your sister.
	He said, I'm profoundly sad for what I did.
	He said, I was going through deep depression.
	I didn't know how to handle it.
	So I just threw everything away.
	And he said, I regret it.
	But 15 years later, you know, I had moved on.

	I only remember that he was from a university in Indiana, but I don't remember which university.

	So, he, a professor, did a study and found that...
	Hi, everybody. everybody.
	Two pieces of good news, actually.
	And I... Do not broadcast in order to bring you good news or bad news, but truth.
	So, if it's good news, it's good.
	One, Starbucks ends COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
	Very nice.
	Starbucks has ended its COVID-19 vaccine mandate following a Supreme Court ruling.
	Finding the Biden administration's attempt to force workers to get a vaccine or wear a mask and get tested weekly was an overstep of its authority.
	We respect the court's ruling and will comply, Starbucks chief operating officer John Culver wrote in a memorandum to workers.
	Nice.
	They had just said that they would nevertheless have their mandate.
	Fire you.
	If you don't get tested weekly, maybe they can stop the idiocy of having all of their workers wear masks.
	God, do we live in a fake world.
	Oh, God, the world of the left is just a fake.
	It's a play.
	It's a kabuki theater.
	People are sitting at tables in Starbucks with no masks.
	But you have to walk in with a mask.
	Of course, I don't.
	If they ask me to, I put it on.
	They never ask me to.
	More people need to do this.
	Obeying irrational orders is a very, very immoral thing to do.
	Of course, the argument is, well, what you think is irrational is your opinion.
	Really.
	Then reason is an idiocy.
	The idea of the age of reason, the idea of reason and rationality is absurd.
	If all rationality is is a fake for opinion, which is true for the left, so they think it's true for everyone, then, of course, reason is useless.
	You can sit ten feet from me, five of you, eating with no masks on, But I have to enter the restaurant with a mask on.
	Explain that to me.
	And people believe it.
	I love the people.
	Well, that's sarcastic.
	I actually have contempt for them.
	They sit there in masks in the restaurant, and then they serve their food, and they take the masks off.
	So they won't kill anybody, or they won't die while eating.
	They'll die or kill when not eating.
	Get it?
	Thank you, Starbucks.
	That's great.
	Thank you, Supreme Court.
	It's a tragedy that they ruled in favor of hospitals firing doctors, nurses, and others.
	What a statement about our hospitals.
	I can't tell you how painful this is.
	Do you know, I had many surgeries, all of which were successful.
	I'm one of the rare people.
	I had three on my back.
	Let's see, three back, one finger, oh yes, and one hip.
	All but one, all but the finger, which got infected at a dermatologist's office, and it was a very serious infection, so I needed immediate surgery on my finger.
	Anyway, that worked out fine, but that was at a special hand doctor-surgeon.
	But otherwise, all of them were at USC, and they were terrific, and I announced it at the time.
	I was very grateful to USC, and I still am.
	But my view of hospitals has declined, as it has for the entire medical profession.
	The cruelty and idiocy that has shaped hospital policy, the number of people they forced to die alone, Especially in 2020, will go down as a terrible blemish on the record of hospitals, among many others.
	The irrationality, the lack of concern for serious medicine, the firing of doctors who used ivermectin, who prescribed it.
	There is no doubt that history will record that the hospitals of the United States and the medical profession of the United States failed utterly, utterly, during these past two years, in terms of policy, not in terms, well, even medically, because they didn't offer any therapeutics.
	So staggering numbers of Americans, like hundreds of thousands, died as a result of doctors and their anti-therapeutic And they're believing in intubation, which probably killed as many as it saved.
	England, the second piece of news, England ends all COVID passports, mask mandates, and work restrictions.
	Mind-blowing.
	So you know what's going to happen.
	If that is the case, then I think there will be a flood, although they're not in the EU. I don't know if they'll get in.
	That's interesting.
	Will England allow Austrians in that police state of Austria?
	Shame on Austria.
	Truly a shame.
	If you want a real good idea of what happens in the post-religion world of the West, here you go.
	So when Christianity died in Europe, you got fascism, communism, and Nazism.
	Okay?
	That's what you got.
	You didn't get that before.
	Christianity failed.
	Right?
	And you had other terrible stuff.
	The Thirty Years' War, all the Christian and Protestant massacres of one another.
	I get it.
	But that belonged to a previous age.
	In the modern age, we got fascism, Nazism, and communism.
	So you'll say, well, but we're not having fascists, Nazis, and communists now in Europe.
	They seem to have done very well as a completely secular society.
	Oh, really?
	The contempt for liberty in post-Christian Europe is staggering.
	Now, you might say they're not related.
	You can't deny that they crap on liberty in every European country, with the partial exception of Sweden.
	You can't deny it.
	If you do, it's pointless to have a discussion.
	I mean, the draconian laws that just passed by the French Parliament and which Austria is introducing as of February 1st, these are mind-blowing.
	You can't do anything.
	You basically have to stay in your house.
	Canada, too.
	Another secular country which has contempt for liberty and reason.
	It's very important.
	The contempt for liberty and the contempt for reason Go hand in hand.
	So now you see, America has not been like that, because America is a more religious country than any European country, than any West European country.
	Let's put it that way.
	Yes.
	Europe is essentially morally worthless.
	That's what it is.
	They're wimps, and they're proud of it.
	They don't fight evil, but they sure as hell fight the unvaccinated.
	Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home guidance will be removed in England.

	When I started teaching, I was only 25.
	I was only seven years older than my students.
	That's not a great span of time between a man and a young woman.
	It is a daily distraction.
	That's right.
	It is.
	I thank you for your honesty.
	That is exactly right.
	It is not his fault he's built that way.
	It's no more his fault than food is a distraction to the hungry.
	Okay?
	There is no difference between the two.
	So, I'll tell you an interesting story.
	Really interesting.
	Many years ago, and I can't find this on the internet.
	Maybe one of you can, and that would be of great help to me.
	I only remember that he was from a university in Indiana, but I don't remember which university.
	What did it say, Sean?
	So, he, a professor, did a study and found...
	That one of the two groups, I don't remember the second, of men most likely to divorce were high school teachers.
	And I think college teachers.
	In other words, men around a great number of young women divorced at a greater rate than any other men.
	And I had that professor on with that study.
	So if you could find that.
	I could read it to you.

	The incoming administration would say, you know, we don't really have a mandate.
	Normally people would say, I've got to deal with this closely divided group.
	group I can't do.
	Listen, folks.
	Listen.
	Yeah.
	How do you like that?
	Basically, my friends, the United Kingdom has become Florida.
	Prime Minister DeSantis, thank you.
	Now, how do you explain this?
	Why will England opt for complete freedom and France for complete subjugation?
	And Holland for complete subjugation?
	Austria for complete subjugation?
	Why is that?
	Same damn virus, right?
	Because wimps dominate the European continent.
	You have to understand, they're wimps.
	Macron is a nothing.
	A nothing with power and half or more of his people agree with that.
	So, so too here.
	Leftism isn't so much a political position.
	As a state of immaturity, that is what it is.
	The ACLU, the LGBT movement, whatever they are.
	What is it, the Freedom?
	What is it called?
	Human Rights Campaign, yes.
	The Southern Poverty Law Center, Media Matters, these are children.
	These are scared.
	Lying children.
	That's what they are.
	And we produce them en masse at the university.
	If you can stay a child, we have succeeded at the university.
	You stay a boy and you stay a girl.
	That's what you are.
	Everybody on the right knows what I'm saying is true.
	Everyone.
	They are weak.
	They are mean and they lie.
	All of them.
	Every organization I just mentioned.
	The Human Rights Campaign, the SPLC, the ACLU, Media Matters.
	That's all they do.
	They smear and lie.
	How these people sleep well at night proves That the conscience is extremely weak in the human condition.
	It plays little role.
	They get paid well to do what they do.
	If they couldn't smear, they'd be unemployed.
	It's always an interesting question.
	What would these people do if they didn't get paid, if they didn't have donations from fellow travelers?
	I don't know what they would do.
	When you've devoted your life to lying and smearing and complaining and crying and screaming and making yourself into victims, I don't know what you'd do for a living if you had to leave that.
	It's an interesting philosophical question.
	So what is the difference between England and the rest of Europe?
	I don't know.
	Maybe that it's run by a conservative who's gotten sick of all these life-suppressing laws in the name of preserving life.
	Do you understand the lies that we've had to live with for two years?
	If you had COVID, you don't have natural immunity.
	It's worthless.
	Only the vaccination, which is no longer even called a vaccination, because vaccination has been redefined by the CDC. It's the first vaccination that does not, in fact, protect you.
	You're protected against measles with a measles vaccine.
	You're protected against polio with a polio vaccine, but you're not protected against COVID with a COVID vaccine.
	And people go along with it.
	Oh, give me my third shot in one year.
	Absolutely, I'd love it.
	And make sure my kid gets it.
	Even though this is a fact, your child is more likely to be hurt by the vaccine than to die of COVID. But people will still poison their children, or, let me be precise, risk poisoning their children, for no reason at all other than they have been brainwashed into fear.
	Half this country knows that.
	That's the reason for all the divides.
	They think we are anti-vaxxers.
	They go no deeper than that.
	It means that's all they need to know.
	We think they're scared fools.
	It's a big divide.
	And it's very sad.
	Almost every family has it.
	But we don't hate them.
	They hate us.
	What is it?
	Yep.
	Democrats are more than twice as likely as other voters to favor harsh government restrictions being placed on unvaccinated people's lives.
	Ranging from fines and house arrest to imprisonment in government facilities and loss of child custody.
	People are losing their children if they're not vaccinated.
	Yes.
	That's really something.
	It's so evil, and it's equally evil and absurd.
	As I have said, if a divorced parent loses custody, why don't married parents lose custody?
	If two married parents, or if one married parent, it's enough, right?
	Is not vaccinated, why don't we take the children away from them?
	Why only from divorced parents?
	Answer for that, Judge Silberman?
	In LA? You haven't answered that?
	Why do you allow any unvaccinated parent to have custody of a child?
	There should be mass removal of children.
	If this doesn't clarify how obscene the left is to you, nothing will.
	These last two years should be clear.
	They burn down cities.
	They create mayhem and evil and torture and murder and burn down centers of cities.
	And all you talk about is January 6th?
	That is the residue of a lying media.
	And people don't know that.
	We saw half a year of mayhem, and it was defended.
	we saw one day of a few hours and that is a turning point in America.
	The government will no longer mandate the wearing of face masks anyway.
	The Democratic Party somehow has convinced black people that they're the good guys.

	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, You
	know, when I first got a three-hour show, I will never forget.
	It was on ABC in L.A. I was in my 30s.
	And I had a three-hour show every day.
	I went from weekend to every day.
	And I said to a legend in radio, Ray Breen, At ABC, he followed me.
	It was an evening show.
	And I said, Ray, what am I going to talk about for three hours?
	And the man just laughed.
	He had a five-hour show.
	And why am I mentioning that?
	I have so many interesting things to talk about.
	And then, Barack Lurie walks in with a phenomenal book.
	And I realized, oh my God, everything that I'm talking about, we could do an hour or more.
	This is a great example.
	So here's the book.
	If you're watching, I'm showing it to you right now.
	It's on the Salem News Channel.
	Atheism Destroys.
	How Godlessness Destroys the Pillars of Civilization and How to Fight Back.
	You got a forward by a bishop, Robert Stearns.
	Oh, I know Robert.
	He's a great man.
	Great man.
	Wonderful work that he's doing, too.
	That's right.
	So this is volume two of the Atheism Kills series.
	Right.
	You went from kills to destroys.
	See, you must understand, Barack Lurie's a lawyer, but he's not a theologian.
	He is religious, but as a Jew, he's not an Orthodox Jew.
	So this is not a book you would expect from someone in his way of life, if you will.
	He just came to rational conclusions.
	Is that a fair way of putting it?
	Exactly right, Dennis.
	You and I had the same way of coming to God.
	I remember talking to you a long time ago about this, and I said I came to God through probabilities and science and logic, and you said exactly the way for you.
	And that's how I felt about it, and I think we all should come to God that way, one way or the other.
	In this book, Atheism Destroyers, I barely have any references to the Bible.
	Why?
	Because I know how atheists think.
	They think that when you're referring to the Bible...
	Right.
	If you quote the Bible, then you're just being tautological.
	Right.
	Tautological.
	It's a self-referencing mechanism.
	And so, therefore, I avoided that.
	There is some reference, of course, but generally speaking, my basic thesis is that without God in our society, everything falls apart.
	So simply don't appreciate.
	We take for granted all the things that we love about civilization, whether that's family and marriage, relationships, generally speaking, sex, yes, even sex, free speech, and then courage, just courage alone.
	I mean, and I have a whole chapter on the 2020 year of fear, as I call it, and how it's so emblematic because of our godless society.
	It is the best way to trace the division.
	Between the frightened and the non-frightened.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It is exactly that.
	And it's no doubt to me, and no surprise to you, that those who have fought the COVID restrictions were by and large, by and large, religious, or had God in their lives one way or the other.
	And I saw that correlation very strongly.
	And the correlations, by the way, this is a book about correlations and to some extent causation.
	The correlations that I'm seeing in, for example, mass murderers, serial killers, the mafia, sex trafficking, and drug trafficking, I go through all of that.
	And there's one common theme in every single case, and that is the leaders of those people, and in fact, the members of all those organizations, bad guy organizations, they're all godless to a man.
	Look, does that rise to the level of causation?
	No.
	But at some point, you begin to scratch your head.
	Well, does it rise to the level of provable causation?
	No.
	Right.
	But logical causation?
	Give me a better reason.
	Right.
	You've never heard of somebody, let's say, like the Catholic butcher of New Orleans, right?
	You've never heard that.
	You've never heard about the Hasidic slaughterer or whatever.
	Yes, right.
	It's always these people that are truly godless and who have decided that they are God.
	One way or the other.
	Charles Manson himself said he was God.
	So this is the notion and something that I take to the, you know, not to the extreme, but I develop in Atheism Destroyers.
	Did you come from atheism?
	Yes.
	And that is...
	How were you raised?
	I was raised, you know, Jewishly, and we were taught to be proud Jews.
	Well, so that's ethnically.
	Ethically, yeah.
	There were two ways of being Jewish.
	Right.
	My dad and my mom believed in God, and everything was great there, but they did not push that very much.
	So that was the big issue there, and I decided I was an atheist, and I saw how dark atheism was.
	It was profoundly dark, and I escaped it.
	I actually considered it an escape.
	And to the atheists out there, if you are an atheist, you may think you're happy in a way, but you're really not.
	I know that sounds quite arrogant on my part, but nevertheless, you need to escape.
	We're going to continue.
	The book is Atheism Destroys, Barack Lurie's new great important book.
	Let me get that into the picture.
	There we go.
	Good.

	My guest is Barack Lurie, a wonderful man, a great thinker.
	Here's his book.
	They said I should put it in front of my face.
	I am in no way insulted, by the way.
	I'm fine with that.
	Atheism destroys the second volume of the consequences of atheism.
	I want to make clear to everybody listening, neither you nor I have ever said, nor do we believe, that every atheist is a bad person.
	I want you to say that in your own words so as to make it clear.
	Exactly right.
	In fact, that's one of the comments and the charges against this book that people make, one of the three major ones.
	They say, I'm an atheist.
	I'm a good guy.
	I have morals.
	I don't want to kill anybody.
	I don't want to destroy anybody.
	No, I'm saying exactly what you just said, Dennis, that, no, your ideology is dangerous.
	The notion of atheism is dangerous.
	Just as if you were to tell me if you were a communist, I would say, listen, your ideology...
	Is destructive and has been destructive.
	Although you might be a great communist in and of yourself, but that's it.
	So yes, there's a difference.
	You can choose not to believe in God.
	That's your business, of course.
	It's a free country.
	But atheism itself, whether you realize it or not, is a highly destructive ideology.
	Indeed, as I argue in my book, it is the most destructive ideology ever.
	And more so than fascism and communism.
	Atheism.
	You wrote before this, you wrote Atheism Kills, right?
	Yes.
	Another great book.
	So how does this differ from the first one?
	Right.
	So Atheism Kills focused on and answered my question to myself.
	What has killed more, religion or the absence of religion?
	And as we discussed when you had me on last time for Atheism Kills, Atheism has killed far more.
	Godless regimes that insisted on an atheistic enterprise as their guiding principle have killed far more than anything that religion has ever thrown at the world.
	Yes, and that includes the Inquisition, the Crusades, or even the religious wars.
	Atheism killed Upwards of 100 million people in the 20th century alone, and some people think 200 million, to say nothing of the brutalities and the rapes and the tortures.
	So that was all in the 20th century alone, and it's still going as we speak.
	Religion, by contrast, if you added it all up, something on the order of 700 to 3 million in all of history.
	And even then, that would be a very liberal interpretation of what religion has wrought.
	So, for example, the Inquisition was not a church doctrine.
	The Crusades, while it was a church doctrine, the killings that occurred in the process were not because of church doctrine.
	In fact, the church told the crusaders not to go ahead and kill anybody alongside, Jews included.
	So, there's a misunderstanding of history.
	But people hear this mantra and it keeps on echoing and they decide that they know what they're talking about, that religion has caused far more deaths than anything else.
	They're wrong.
	That is the essence of Atheism Kills.
	And the difference here is Atheism Destroys is how it actually kills, destroys the pillars of civilization.
	Free speech, relationships, family, courage, and law and order for that matter, and justice.
	Just those minor things, Dennis.
	No big deal.
	Not to mention, The number of depressed people because they have lost the only source of ultimate meaning.
	Every atheist philosopher I have read, and I quote in my book as you do in yours, has acknowledged.
	No God.
	What was it?
	Dawkins' famous thing?
	We're just robots or something?
	Right.
	Do you remember the exact quote?
	I don't remember the exact quote, but he's basically saying we are automatons.
	Yes.
	We are dust, and we just move about our daily lives.
	And he would be right as an atheist.
	He is right.
	If you're an atheist, that's what we are.
	We're dust.
	And if you take that seriously, it's depressing.
	Yeah.
	People should acknowledge that.
	I argue to every atheist...
	If they have the time to do it, I simply say, why did you get married?
	Why do you have kids?
	There is no reasonable explanation why anyone should have kids if they don't believe in God.
	Well, a lot aren't.
	That's exactly what's happening.
	It is the reason why we have now the lowest population growth in American history.
	I think it's like 0.1% growth.
	Bizarre and absurd.
	But nevertheless, that's the reason why.
	People realize that there's no meaning in their lives.
	Why would they have a kid with all the burdens and the challenges and the things that you can't possibly know about what your kid's going to be like, right?
	He might turn against you.
	He might become a Buddhist or whatever it is.
	Or he might hate you in the end.
	So why would you do that?
	Right?
	I mean, to say nothing of the costs and dealing with all his childhood problems and traumas and monsters under the bed and everything else.
	Why?
	And they don't have an answer to that.
	An atheist sometimes will say, well, I want to pass my values.
	To which you say, why?
	What's there to pass on?
	If you are dust to dust, then what do you care what happens?
	If everything was an accident, what do you care whether your child passes on your values?
	And P.S. Who's to say that he's going to pass on your values?
	By the way, for the record, Douglas Murray in England, who is gay, and I only mention that because that gives you sort of more credentials these days, and secular, is in completely agreement with you.
	He says, look at Europe without religion.
	It's nothing.
	It's become a nothing.
	This critical book.
	It's called Atheism Destroys.

	Your profession is in no way more laughable than the medical profession, I'm very sad to say.
	The book that this man has written is the second volume about atheism, and it's Atheism Destroys.
	The first was Atheism Kills.
	I must explain, Barack Lurie's a lawyer.
	He's not a theologian.
	He's not a rabbi.
	He's not a priest or minister.
	He's certainly not a priest.
	He's got a family.
	But he comes to it as such, as a rigorous thinker.
	That's part of the reason this is so effective.
	So, do you raise your kids very God-centered?
	What has happened to you in terms of being a father?
	Yeah, well, first of all, part of the reason why I have kids in the first place is because I believe in God.
	And the reason why I have three kids, not just one or two, is because I believe in God.
	And I feel that the only way to meaningfully raise kids is to make sure that they have an understanding of God.
	Even if they don't go to synagogue or church as often as, frankly, as I'd like to, they still have to appreciate that God is part of their lives.
	And I actually, when I was writing Atheism Kills, I got involved.
	I had the kids get involved in the proofs to themselves of why God is real.
	And they came up with many good examples.
	Actually, I'm a little bit embarrassed because they're young kids who came up with some very interesting ideas.
	But to get them engaged and to think about God themselves and why God is real themselves, just by, for example, looking at the difference between humans on the one hand and animals on the other.
	And there are massive amounts of distinctions.
	And then they realize that God is real.
	To have a strong father and to have God, the chances, there are no guarantees with children.
	Just the way it works.
	But, and you have a wonderful wife too.
	So the combination of what I just described, if I had to bet that your kids are going to turn out well, I'd bet that they are.
	It's not a compliment, it's just a statement.
	God, strong dad, a father in heaven and a father on earth.
	This is a really important work, my friends.
	Whoops!
	I hit the mic with the book.
	Atheism Destroys.
	Barack Lurie, congratulations, Barack.
	You're doing God's work.
	Thank you, Dennis.
	I so appreciate that.
