The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

Okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here. Welcome to the show. I was away for 2 days, not sick, rather healthy in fact, because of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, and I conducted services for the 15th year in a row, except for the COVID year when nothing could happen. And I gotta tell you, it was a powerful experience again. You'll find this of interest whatever your religion or no religion. So I find, I have found over the course of my life, most services in my religion boring. And it's no insult to rabbis or others. They just They just are. They're— for me, they were boring. So what I did most of my life is bring a book to synagogue, because I would not not go. The ambience and some of the prayers were moving. And I would sit and read a book on religion. I didn't bring, you know, Moby Dick, which is— well, actually, that's a book on religion in some ways. But in any event, I bring a religious book. I would take the COVID off. So that it looked like a prayer book, a hard— just a plain hardcover book, and not insult anybody but read. Then about 15 years ago, I said to myself— and I am an avid listener— I said, you know, why don't you make your own service, Dennis? Stop complaining and make your own service. And Dennis said, good idea. I take that challenge, Dennis. And that's what I did with, with my own— with a choir and a cantor and instrumentalists and the traditional service but with instruments, which the Orthodox do not use. And I explained virtually every prayer aside from a sermon, and people sit in rapt attention for 3 hours. 3 hours. And you know why? Because I'm keeping it interesting for me. Because I get bored so easily. That, by the way, is my secret weapon on why I'm interesting. Which is not a boast, it's just a fact. If I weren't interesting, I couldn't be a talk show host. You can say anything you want about talk show hosts, they're all interesting. And my secret weapon in being interesting is that I get bored very, very quickly. So if I keep me interested, I keep most people interested. And there were times I was brought to tears by the beauty of the service. And you can see it, by the way, at salemnow.com. It is still up. It was streamed, and Yom Kippur will be streamed. And whatever your religion, or if you're an atheist, you will find those services very, very interesting and moving and hopefully uplifting. That's at salemnow.com. So that's, that's what it was, and we are called to repent. Repent means— do you know what repent suggests? It suggests that people have free will, right? If you could change your ways, the whole message is you have free will. By the way, the secular world denies free will with no exception. There is no free will if there is no God. Because if there is no God, you are only a physiological being. You don't have any will. What you do is programmed by your neurological and physiological and biological systems. Another one of the awful consequences of a secular world. The denial of free will. And by the way, the left is an embodiment of the non— of the inability of people to repent. Oh, you did this 47 years ago? You're out, baby. You sexually harassed someone at work 38 years ago? And otherwise have an honorable life? Too bad, baby. We don't accept the fact that you in any way repented and got better. Right? Is there any group that is less pro-redemption of human beings than the left? No, there isn't. It was a rhetorical question, but I decided to answer it anyway. Okay, reflections on life, which is what I do on this program. LA Unified— the LA Unified School District to meet Thursday— that's today— over COVID vaccine mandate for students. Approval likely. What does that mean? What age and above? 12? You have— so ladies and gentlemen, if you are in the LA Unified School District and you vaccinate your 12-year-old, you are doing something deeply irresponsible just to keep your kid in the despicable corrupt school that your kid goes to anyway. So you have a double whammy. You might be— I'm not saying you are— you might be hurting your child. You're certainly not helping your child. Be far better if your child 99.9% of the time got COVID and natural antibodies. The number of children dying from COVID is infinitesimally small, smaller than the flu. Yet they are telling you, you must give your child a vaccine. Okay. And you will do it because it is so much easier to send your kids to school than not to. And I get it.

It is.

It is a lot easier to send your kid to school. So even though they will corrupt your child, rob your child of innocence, teach your child to hate everything you stand for, teach them to hate this country, teach them a godless curriculum, and produce a worse human being who has learned nothing and now has to have an inoculation, a vaccination at 12. You will still send your kid there when there is a beautiful, loving, wonderful option not to send your child to such a school, to send your child either to a school that does not require this and does not teach America hatred or to homeschool your child. 1 out of 10 families in America right now is homeschooling their child. More than 1 out of 10, 11%, and probably more than that. Half of America should be homeschooling their children. It's quite astonishing, quite astonishing. As is the, uh, the, the lying media. I mean, there was— I should have kept it. It's a rare time when I read a piece and I didn't keep it. I'll have to find it again. The way the New York Times describes ivermectin as this horse, uh, medicine. It's been— it— do you know that the inventor of ivermectin for humans got a Nobel Prize? That is how— what a great breakthrough ivermectin is. Are you aware of that? I take ivermectin every week, by the way, just for the record, and I have not— I've not called poison control. Any person who took a dose that is fit for a horse is an idiot, okay? To use idiots as the example of why ivermectin is, is not good for you is as dishonest as— it's, it's like saying aspirin is not good for you because people have OD'd on aspirin. India's ivermectin blackout. News of India's defeat of the Delta variant— this is from Zero Hedge— should be common knowledge. It is just about as obvious as the nose on one's face. It is so clear when one looks at the graphs that no one can deny it, yet for some reason we are not allowed to talk about it. Thus, for example, Wikipedia cannot mention the peer-reviewed meta-analyses by Dr. Tess Lawrie or Dr. Pierre Korey published in the American Journal of Therapeutics. Hmm. Furthermore, it's not allowed to say anything concerning www.ivmmeta.com showing the 61 studies comprising 23,000 patients which reveal up to a 96% reduction in death as a prophylaxis with ivermectin. 96% reduction in death. That's why I have said, and I swear before the Almighty, may I be punished if I am not saying what I believe, but I know I, I'm saying I believe. And so do you. The, the medical profession may have killed 100,000 or more Americans by, by not promoting therapeutics and only a ventilator or a vaccine.

Israel is getting ready for their fourth jab. Now, some people— this is how dishonest the media is— they say, well, Israel in the last couple of days, they've seen their rates go down. Now, why do you think that COVID rates would be going down in Israel the last couple of days? Anybody? Is it because the vaccine, masks? No, it's because the high holidays. OK, people are staying at home and they're not going out and they're not working and they're not congregating. So they've locked down the country through basically pseudo-religious mandate. Israel and Sweden, if you look at the 7-day rolling average of new cases per 100,000, Sweden on this chart that has been published is right around 10%. Israel has far exceeded 100%. And in fact, there are more cases right now happening in America and the Western world than there were a year ago. And a very basic question should be, is the vaccine helping or is it hurting? What's the answer to that question? Why is it that rates keep on going up the more vaccinated we are? Well, Israel is the only country in the world that gives the third vaccination to everyone at ages 12+. A COVID passport is required for 12+. And by the way, let me just say, I'm a very— I'm a lover of Israel and Jerusalem. I don't know if I'm ever going back to Israel. I don't. I said this to one of my friends the other day who runs a great project there. He said, oh, you'll be coming back. I said, I don't know if I'll be welcome in Israel because I'm not getting vaccinated and I'm not doing any of this stuff. Numerous blockades throughout Israel and mask mandates, where Sweden has no booster shots, no COVID passports, no lockdowns, and no masks.

Everything was just takeout and delivery for me. It was, it was very difficult. I now face a $1.4 judgment against me.

$1.4 million?

$1.4 million, Mike. Okay. And already my struggles, I already had struggles from before. This is what they don't understand. They don't understand the struggles we go through. Everybody, we, it's an Like, they don't sit and think about the struggles a family has. And my struggles are even more compared to others. I lost my husband. I'm a single mom with 4 kids. Like, enough already. Let me live. Let me feed my children. And now these new mandates, again with no protection. We are violating New York New York City human rights laws if we comply with this. I'm not complying.

You make— you're like the voice of Americans who are saying, you're not going to tell me how I can choose to live my life or run my business. Irene, I don't understand. You have to help me understand the $1.4 million in— in that you're facing. How does— how does a an owner of a beloved diner like Kellogg's Diner in Brooklyn rack up $1.4 million that they say you owe the government?

Because when you, when you buy a business, you, you, you have a lease, you have a mortgage, you conduct contracts. There's rules on those contracts. And when you default on those contracts, you will lose in court if you default it.

Right, right.

And I lost.

We just want to remind you about Pure Talk. You could save— the, uh, the average family saves over $800 a year on their phone bill, on their smartphone bill. It's, it's true. I didn't believe it. I didn't believe that for $30 a month with unlimited text and unlimited talk, 6 gigabytes of data, that you could actually get the same service as you could T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon. Turned out I was wrong. I checked it out, got a phone through them. By the way, you can get the greatest phones you want at a great rate as well, but you can keep your phone and keep your number switching to PureTalk. Again, $30 a month. That's pretty good for unlimited talk, unlimited text, and 6 gigabytes of data. One unlimited data, you can get that too and save a fortune. It's the highest-rated wireless company by Consumer Affairs. You'll save 50% off your first month by saying Dennis Prager at pound 250. #250 and say Dennis Prager for Pure Talk. I'm Dennis Prager. That is, that is why you say that name. See, it works. Ivermectin works. You're being lied to by the corrupt medical profession. It is— I never thought I'd say this— it is as corrupt as the teachers unions. There is no difference between the American Medical Association, the CDC, the NIH, and the teachers unions. They're left-wing activist groups. They have no commitment to what they claim to have commitment to. There are some wonderful teachers, there are some wonderful people at all at CDC and NIH. It's corrupt. It's been corrupted by Big Pharma. They want you to take the vaccine because if you can get healthy by taking a cheap pill like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine and zinc, they don't want you to do so. They want to make billions by pushing and shoving the vaccine down Americans' throats. That's the reason for the war against ivermectin. In India, they used it, and listen to the story, okay? Just listen to it. This is a doctor writing. It's from thedesertreview.com, republished in Zero Hedge. There's a blackout on any conversation about how ivermectin beat COVID-19 in India. When I discussed the dire straits that India found itself in, in earlier this year, with 414,000 cases per day and over 4,000 deaths per day, and how that evaporated within 5 weeks of the addition of ivermectin, I am often asked, why is there no mention of that in the news? Yes, exactly. Ask yourself why India's success against the Delta variant with ivermectin is such a closely guarded secret by the NIH and CDC. Second, ask yourself why no major media outlets reported this fact, but instead try to confuse you with false information by saying that deaths in India are 10 times greater than official reports. Perhaps NPR is trying so hard because NPR is essentially a government mouthpiece. The U.S. government is all in with vaccines with the enthusiasm of 17th century Catholic Church all in with the geocentric model of the universe disputing Galileo. The massive drop in cases and deaths in India is almost nothing after the addition of ivermectin proved the drug's effectiveness. This is a truth that the NIH, CDC, and FDA cannot allow because it would endanger the vaccine policy. The data show how ivermectin knocked their COVID-19 cases and deaths, which we know were Delta variant, down to almost zero within weeks. A population comparable to the U.S. went from about 35,000 cases and 350 deaths today to nearly zero within weeks of adding ivermectin to the protocol. So they, they, they have states in India like we do in the US. Uttar Pradesh is one of them. They went on ivermectin. Population of 240, only 5% fully vaccinated. COVID cases 26, COVID daily deaths 3. Okay, just, just one of the statistics that is brought here. Let us look at other ivermectin-using areas of India. Numbers from August 5th, 2021. Delhi, New Delhi, the capital, on ivermectin. Population 31 million, 15% fully vaccinated, 61 daily cases, 1 daily death. Uttarakhand on ivermectin. Population 11.4 million, 15% fully vaccinated, COVID cases 24 per day. Deaths, zero. All right, so, uh, you will— you'll continue to read the, uh, these— the bashing of ivermectin as for horses. Also, there was a What is it? Rolling Stone caught on a huge lie, sued and lost for their huge lie. I don't know why Rolling Stone is still in business. It's just a lying piece of crap because the truth is not a left-wing value. The latest lie that they published was that in Oklahoma, a doctor said that Oklahoma's Oklahoma Rural Hospital was so filled with people taking ivermectin— was that what it was? Ivermectin overdoses. Oh yes, that's right, ivermectin overdoses, that they couldn't even treat people with gunshot wounds. The whole thing was a lie. The entire thing was a lie, and of course reprinted elsewhere. And why people still believe Rolling Stone is because they want to believe Rolling Stone. If you're a leftist, the Rolling Stone is your thing. That's it. Because truth is not a value. The entire attack on ivermectin is a lie. It's a gigantic lie. Okay, so either I'm lying to you or they're lying to you. There you go. It's very simple. But I have a 30-year track record of never lying. Never. N-E-V-E-R. Because I believe it is the greatest sin I could commit to God Not, not, uh, or the exception of murder. That's how important I think truth is. I have no vested interest in ivermectin. I have a vested interest in the truth and in saving lives. It's an amazing thing, this, uh, this Oklahoma story. Just amazing. This is from KFOR in Oklahoma. Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals and ambulances. Southeastern Oklahoma, KFOR. Rural Oklahoma doctor said patients who are taking the horse dewormer— this is what it's now called. This is— the press is lying to you. Yes, it is a horse dewormer. It is also something taken by millions of people for a long time. A horse dewormer. Ivermectin to fight COVID-19 are causing emergency room and ambulance backups. See, it's just a lie. There's a reason to have a doctor get a prescription for this stuff because it can be dangerous, said Dr. Jason McAlee. Can you name a medication that cannot be dangerous? I assume cough drops could be dangerous. We'll be back in a moment.

But Biden is taking a hit and Democrats are trying to stay clear from the caller in the last hour said, where's Kamala? Kamala is doing her best to stay clear of Joe Biden. I mean, her polls stink, but combined, the both of them combined, I guess it's extra stinky together because both of them stink. And the funny thing is her polls are worse than his and she wants to be nowhere near this cat. But people are finding out that this Build Back Better thing is a socialist agenda. And the $3.5 trillion partisan wish list that the Democrats are wanting is starting to turn people off because people are starting to realize that the economic pain is going to be felt at home. Average everyday Americans sitting around their dinner table are going to feel that pain. Overall, the poll found that Biden's net approval average is -7. That means 44% are approving of his, his job as the president and 51% disapprove. So this is a major slide. A generic Republican on the ballot at this time would lead in all 7 districts going up against the Democrats and Democrat incumbents by, by 6 percentage points on average. So, Carl, the elections are so far away. Why are you worried about this or why are you talking about this now? Polls don't matter. Polls do matter to Democrats. Unfortunately, I feel like Republicans are starting to do the same. Republicans have an opportunity of a lifetime, in my opinion, to kick Biden while he's down. And you have Kevin McCarthy— Kevin McCarthy seems to have backtracked slightly, but Mitch McConnell talking about they don't want to impeach. Why not? Why not?

And the Congress is going to get to the bottom of what was, in retrospect, probably one of the worst mistakes of the last 3 months, which is abandoning our secure airbase with a significant perimeter to protect against the exact kind of suicide bombing that claimed 13 American lives.

Now, I know an individual in General Milley's circle, and I am told exactly what you just said— they would not lift the cap on the troops. But my advice to this individual was, tell everyone you can to get a story straight, a timeline down, and every supporting document in one binder so that you do not have to change your story on timing or detail even once, or you'll have Benghazi on your hands. And I believe that the Pentagon would be well served to over-respond rather than under-respond at this point. What's your advice to the Pentagon, Senator, on how to respond to the queries, which will never stop until we have a day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute timeline and documents supporting a decision tree here?

Well, that, that sound advice, not only to the Pentagon, but to anyone, uh, in the administration. What Congress is not just going to move on from this fiasco. We're gonna get to the bottom of what happened. Then if the Democratic Congress right now won't do it, then we'll get to the bottom of it in early 2023 once Republicans have won back control of the Congress. Not just the Pentagon, but anyone who's involved in this needs to understand that Congress and the American people are going to insist upon answers, and they need to have those answers ready, and they need to be documented and demonstrated with evidence. Any kind of shifting explanation or political spin or CYA is gonna be exposed.

My buddy Fred in Cleveland. Hello. Hello, Dennis.

Yep.

Hi.

Hi.

I was going to comment on your, your 30-year history.

When it comes to medicine, what you have is a 30-year history of cherry picking. You don't know the data.

You don't understand what you're talking about. You make basic errors that a medical student wouldn't make.

And that's not an insult.

You didn't go to medical school.

So, so no layperson can ignore the evidence.

You ignore the evidence you disagree with.

You present the evidence you agree with.

You draw conclusions.

Right. And that's why, by the way, I live by it. I'm taking ivermectin. Do you think I'm making a mistake?

Yes.

Okay, why? Do you think it'll hurt me?

Worthless.

It's worthless. It might, it might not.

If you get sick, it'll hurt you because it exacerbates asthma. If you read the label, it says it exacerbates asthma, right? And, uh, it's the last thing you should take if you get—

what, what therapeutic do you believe? As a— are you a doctor?

Yes.

What therapeutic do you recommend?

The vaccine, right?

Okay, I thank you so much. Okay, I didn't want to argue. We've argued many times. There you go. That's, that's the doctor's official positions. Why I have contempt for the medical profession. You heard it in a nutshell. No therapeutics. You can't do a damn thing for yourself, folks. Nothing. Just take the pharmaceutical billion-dollar vaccine that has no track record.

None.

It's brand new. It is the only thing ever certified by the FDA and by the CDC that has only had one year of use. They're supposed to have long-term benefits or long-term testing. Don't help yourself at all, folks. Go to a hospital or get a vaccine. That's it. That's the official position. Okay, I loved it because it was clarity. I'm helping myself, and I believe all the doctors, or a lot of them, who testified in the U.S. Senate and from Stanford and Harvard who said ivermectin is a lifesaver. I believe them. Okay, you know why? Because they don't follow the herd. Those are the people I tend to believe in life. People who think the New York Times and Washington Post are lying, I believe them. People who think the CDC is corrupt, corrupted by Big Pharma money, I believe them. Fred doesn't. Fred believes Big Pharma. Okay, Fred, I love when you call, and I mean it, and I'm sure you're a sweet guy, and I mean that too. I don't have— I didn't go to medical school, so I can't read the literature. Fascinating. Why do we have the President of the United States make military policy? He never served in the military. Why is the commander-in-chief a civilian? That is really bizarre. He doesn't know the literature. He didn't go to a military academy. But this is a common thing in America. Do not trust common sense. Do not trust truth. Trust experts. It's like all the companies that are led by lawyers. That's right. The lawyers tell you, you may be sued, you may be sued, you may be sued, you may be sued, and that's it. That's all they need to hear. Lawyers run these companies. Wow. Well, anyway, yours truly is taking ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Doing great. Been surrounded by people maskless for, for the entire time, speaking at rallies, hugging strangers. Two people in my house had COVID, two young people. I did not physically distance. I did not wear a mask. I did not get vaccinated, but I was on ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. So is my wife. To our chagrin, we got nothing. I would like the antibodies of COVID Hmm, I should have asked Fred a question. Does he think that people who have had COVID should get vaccinated? That's usually— that's the great divider between the true believer and the pursuer of truth. If you think people who had COVID should get the vaccine, which Fauci said you should, you know Fauci is a phony. You are far better protected by having had COVID than by a vaccine. I'm not saying the vaccine doesn't work. I never said it didn't work. I do wonder how it got authorization in such speedy time. I do wonder about that. But then when I see that the head of the FDA, Scott Gottlieb, is now on the board of Pfizer, it helps answer my question. They're bloody corrupt. Everything that the left said about Big Pharma all these years turns out to be right.

I really, I have to control myself, Jenna, because in the last 5 to 10 years, I think it's fair to say empirically that there's been an amazing shift, a sea change in American attitudes to abortion, and especially in the youth, in the under-30s, who understand.

They follow the science. They understand understand that this is a human being inside a mother's womb. I don't want to get carried away with myself, but how important—

you are, you've taught constitutional law, you're a practicing lawyer— how important, how significant is the SCOTUS decision and the signing into effect of the new heartbeat law in Texas?

It's very significant. And even though this was simply a denial of an emergency application to stay the law, it shows that the Supreme Court is no longer reflexively protecting abortion as a so-called right. And that's what is the most important part of this decision. The Supreme Court said that they were not ruling on the merits of the issue. Of course, it will be litigated further on the merits and potentially wind its way up back to the Supreme Court. But what they're saying here is that no longer will an activist majority simply say, sorry, states, you don't have a compelling interest to protect unborn life. And so for all of us who understand actual science and who have seen the science, who see the strides that we have made in showing how heartbeats are about 5 to 6 weeks after conception.

Everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. Ken in Danville, California.

Hello. Hi, Dennis.

Hi.

It's an honor to talk to you.

Thank you.

I, I've been listening to you for one year since the start of pandemic, and I'm a converted Leftist. I have to tell you in the beginning, and my wife worked really hard to convert me to the other side. I'm very happy to be on this side.

You're married to a good woman.

Yes, she's wonderful. She's European. She's wonderful. I mentioned to your colleague about ivermectin. My doctor prescribed ivermectin for me when I went to see him for other reasons. And I said, can you do that? He said, yes, I'll do it. Anyway, we went through a lot of problems trying to get this ivermectin from the pharmacy. They wouldn't give it to us because their clinical team, which is Safeway Pharmacy, would not approve this based on FDA saying that this is not approved for COVID treatment. I asked them, how did you find out? They called my doctor to find out what this is prescribed for. I said, you didn't? When do you do this? You call my doctor to find out what it is prescribed for. Anyway, we got, we got the ivermectin. I didn't have any use for it at that time. My son came down with COVID last week. We started giving it to him in 3 days. In 3 days, he knocked it down. In the 4th day, he was back up running. And the prescription that they give you for humans is different than what—

Of course, people who buy the horse thing are morons. And the Washington Post, the New York Times uses that as the examples to dismiss ivermectin because they're in cahoots with the corruption of the medical profession, FDA and CDC, and the herd of doctors— herd, H-E-R-D, sheep herd— who have believed this that there were no therapeutics available. Amazing. No therapeutics available. Yes, your son was, uh, probably— I mean, there's no way to prove it. He could have gotten better, uh, drinking orange juice for all we know. But he— but there are so many people who have gotten better, and whole states in India that have, uh, undone COVID because of ivermectin. And when I note that, they're either dismissed as anecdotes or cherry as the doctor who called from Cleveland, my reliable friend. It's cherry-picked. Yep. Okay, so I am among the cherry-picked people who use ivermectin. I don't know when in American medical history pharmacies denied what doctors prescribed. I— it may have happened before. I am unaware of it. This is only happening now with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

Ivermectin.

The corruption of the billion-dollar industry of vaccines is staggering. The movement of Scott Gottlieb from the FDA to Pfizer is a perfect example. It's one of very many. Iona in Prescott, Arizona. Hello.

Hi.

Hi.

I haven't— I have a good testimonial for you. First of all, I'm 87. I am, I am vaccine-free. I don't do that kind of thing. I essentially walked away from MDs when I was 50. I was exposed to COVID or whatever the heck it is. I knew that a couple days later I had a little cough, and I had fortunately gotten a prescription from my naturopath for ivermectin, had it on hand for emergencies. Immediately took 2, which was the precaution thing, waited a day, took 2 more, thought, okay, you know, it's fine. 3 days later, I noticed I'd lost my sense of smell. So I called my naturopath and got more ivermectin, and he told me to take more NAC and quercetin, of course up my vitamin C and all that stuff. My sense of smell came back in 3 days. I was a little weak for a couple weeks, but I was fine. End of story.

Well, for 87, sounds pretty good to me. I trust doctors more than you do, but that's beside the point. The medical profession has been corrupted. Medical schools are corrupted. Medical schools now say birthing persons rather than women, to give you an idea of the corruption engaged in at medical school. But I didn't go to medical school, so what would I know? Maybe, maybe it is birthing persons. Maybe it isn't women. Why would we think women give birth? How quaint. How ancient. 87. She sounds pretty good, eh?

Yep.

I've never spoken out against vaccines in my life. I never even— it's not— doesn't— it never even registered on my— my kids are vaccinated, I'm vaccinated. But there's something profoundly corrupt going on that all of this has made me aware of. Maybe there are, maybe there are harmful effects to vaccines. Maybe they don't only do good. Maybe not every vaccine is necessary. I've never thought about this till I realize now, well, wait a minute, if they're corrupt about the, the COVID vaccine, maybe there's been corruption with regard to vaccines given the amount of money The staggering amount of money pharmaceutical companies make from vaccines and the fact that they are free from lawsuits. The government has passed a law that you can't sue the pharmaceutical company. The combination of hundreds of billions of dollars and freedom from lawsuit does not invite honesty. Is that fair? I mean, I think even, even Dennis Prager I think people on the left could acknowledge what I just said as being accurate. So I was reading to you about this, this phony thing in the report about the rural Oklahoma doctor and how it started in reports from Oklahoma on the station KFOR, and then, then nationally printed in Rolling Stone. The whole thing's a lie. Rural Oklahoma doctor said patients who were taking the horse dewormer— anybody who calls ivermectin a horse dewormer is, is purposefully lying to you. That includes the New York Times and the Washington Post at the head of the list. There's a reason. Okay, I read to you that. More coming up. You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show.

Israel is getting ready for their fourth jab. Now, some people— this is how dishonest the media is— they say, well, Israel in the last couple of days, they've seen their rates go down. Now, why do you think that COVID rates would be going down in Israel the last couple of days? Anybody? Is it because the vaccine, masks? No, it's because the high holidays.

Okay.

People are staying at home and they're not going out and they're not working and they're not congregating. So they've locked down the country. Through basically pseudo-religious mandate. Israel and Sweden, if you look at the 7-day rolling average of new cases per 100,000, Sweden on this chart that has been published is right around 10%. Israel has far exceeded 100%. And in fact, there are more cases right now happening in America and the Western world than there were a year ago. And a very basic question should be, is the vaccine helping or is it hurting? What's the answer to that question? Why is it that rates keep on going up the more vaccinated we are? Well, Israel is the only country in the world that gives the third vaccination to everyone at ages 12+. A COVID passport is required for 12+. And by the way, let me just say, I'm a very— I'm a lover of Israel and Jerusalem. I don't know if I'm ever going back to Israel. I don't. I said this to one of my friends the other day who runs a great project there. He said, oh, you'll be coming back. I said, I don't know if I'll be welcome in Israel because I'm not getting vaccinated. I'm not doing any of this stuff. Numerous blockades throughout Israel and mask mandates where Sweden has no booster shots, no COVID.

When I said I was vaccinated, my children were vaccinated, I was talking about traditional vaccines. Just, I wanted to make that clear. Dennis Prager, 776. Anyway, this is, uh, I have a great subject for you next hour about— I, I rarely promote the following hour on my show, but there was a long piece on the internet. It was in, I think, the Microsoft News Feed about a, a woman who was getting married, loves her parents, parents love her, and her fiancé, the man she's marrying, her parents would not attend if anybody non-vaccinated showed up at the wedding. Wedding. And the girl's— the bride's parents would not get vaccinated. And so there's a terrible crisis in their family because of that. I'm going to talk to you about that. I have a feeling that this has happened in many families. My son told me that he was told about a wedding of a friend. My son is 38. More or less. And he was invited to a wedding but was told only vaccinated people can attend. My son has had COVID. It is idiocy for him to take the vaccine if he has already had COVID. It is true idiocy. It can't do any good and it might do harm. I mean, that's really— that proves to you— if that doesn't prove to you that the medical profession has been corrupted and the CDC and Fauci are corrupt, nothing will. Nothing is as obviously false, fake, unscientific as saying that the antibodies from the actual virus are not better than a vaccine. Okay, and now they're telling you the vaccine doesn't even work long. You got to take a booster. You'll need a booster if you had COVID. So my son and I discussed it. I said, they can't tell you who's had COVID to take a vaccine, to get the vaccine to go to their wedding. It's beyond belief. We are living in an age— if you ever ever hear anybody heap contempt on the medieval church's view of Galileo. Tell them it was enlightened compared to today's medical establishment.

But Biden is taking a hit, and Democrats are trying to stay clear from him in the The caller in the last hour said, where's Kamala? Kamala is doing her best to stay clear of Joe Biden. I mean, her polls stink, but combined, the both of them combined, combined, I guess it's extra stinky together because both of them stink. And the funny thing is, her polls are worse than his and she wants to be nowhere near this cat. But people are finding out that this Build Back Better thing is a socialist agenda. And the $3.5 trillion partisan wish list that the Democrats are wanting is starting to turn people off because people are starting to realize that the economic pain is going to be felt at home. Average everyday Americans sitting around their dinner table are going to feel that pain. Overall, the poll found that Biden's net approval average is -7. That means 44% are approving of his, his job as the president. And 51% disapprove. So this is a major slide. A generic Republican on the ballot at this time would lead in all 7 districts going up against the Democrats and Democrat incumbents by, by 6 percentage points on average. So, Carl, the elections are so far away. Why are you worried about this or why are you talking about this now? Polls don't matter. Polls do matter to Democrats. Unfortunately, I feel like Republicans are starting to do the same. Republicans have an opportunity of a lifetime, in my opinion, to kick Biden while he's down. And you have Kevin McCarthy— Kevin McCarthy seems to have backtracked slightly, but Mitch McConnell talking about they don't want to impeach. Why not? Why not?

And the Congress is going to get to the bottom of what was, in retrospect, probably one of the worst mistakes of the last 3 months, which is abandoning our secure airbase with a significant perimeter to protect against the exact kind of suicide bombing that claimed 13 American lives.

Now, I know an individual in General Milley's circle, and I am told exactly what you just said— they would not lift the cap on the troops. But my advice to this individual was, tell everyone you can to get a story straight, a timeline down, and every supporting document in one binder so that you do not have to change your story on timing or detail even once, or you'll have Benghazi on your hands. And I believe that the Pentagon would be well served to over-respond rather than under-respond at this point. What's your advice to the Pentagon, Senator, on how to respond to the queries, which will never stop until we have a day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute timeline and documents supporting a decision tree here?

Then if the Democratic Congress right now won't do it, then we'll get to the bottom of it in early 2023, once Republicans have won back control of the Congress. Not just the Pentagon, but anyone who's involved in this needs to understand that Congress and the American people are going to insist upon answers, and they need to have those answers ready, and they need to be documented and demonstrated with evidence any kind of shifting explanation or political spin or CYA is going to be exposed.

Well, I think it's going to be pretty soon. I mean, the United States is dependent either on the Taliban or the Qataris or some other nation to help get United States people out of Afghanistan. And let me say one more thing. I think on this issue of evacuations, there are two sides to this issue. There is who we have not yet brought out of Afghanistan, and there's who we have brought out of Afghanistan. And that's a lot of interpreters that we brought out, and we are finding out more about the frenzied, confused, and incomplete vetting that has taken place with Afghans who have been brought to the United States.

SalemNow.com. And that's next week. Now I have a— I gotta find page 3. Here we go, I found it. The Cut. Are you familiar with The Cut?

Yeah.

Okay, was that left, right, center? I have no idea. It's definitely not left. Okay, perfect. My parents wouldn't get vaxxed to attend my wedding, so I'm going to read to you from this. Less than 2 weeks before her wedding day, Amy Bettis— B-E-T-T-Y-S, but it— or Bettis, I don't know how it's pronounced. We'll call her Bettis— sat in her living room crying and drinking whiskey, the show 90 Day Fiancé playing in the background. She had a difficult phone call to make. And she took a long swig to steel herself. Then she inhaled deeply, let out a groan, and dialed the number. Her mom picked up and immediately asked what was wrong. In a shaky voice, Amy once again begged her parents to get the vaccine. Without the shots, they likely couldn't come to the wedding in early September. Her fiancé's mom and dad planned to bail on the reception if all guests weren't jabbed. Plus, New York City had recently adopted a vaccine mandate for all bars and restaurants. Couldn't they at least think it over? Amy pleaded, hoping her mom might cave to a tear-soaked appeal. So I won't read to you. In the meantime, the, the parents said no. Bettis hung up— that's Amy— and, and ignored her dad's follow-up call. She couldn't bring herself to listen to the voicemail and instead sat there crying, trying to process what had just happened. My parents would rather not get vaxxed than attend my wedding, Dennis said. On the day, I'm worried I'm not going to feel that happy. I've told my fiancée a few times I don't really want to do it anymore. Since shots of Moderna and Pfizer became available, a highly polarized America has been at war with itself. The fact that only half of the country is fully vaccinated has poured lighter fluid on the Delta variant's spread sowing deeper division and straining relationships between friends and family on opposite sides of the political spectrum. But nowhere is the battle playing out more dramatically than on the wedding industry's front lines. When you can avoid talking politics at the dinner table and ignore your mother's texts about being injected with microchips, planning nuptials forces opposing views into violent collision. In an effort to stave off super spreader events, many brides and grooms have adopted policies that boil down to get the shot or don't come. The requirement is setting off emotional bombs, torching relationships between couples and their closest friends or family who refuse to compromise their anti-vax stances even at the cost of missing an important milestone. In some cases, the damage can be devastating. And there's another story that they give here. After discovering a couple had lied about their vaccination status on the RSVP, they started asking guests for proof and found that Connor's best man obviously Connor was the groom, whom we'll call Jeff, also didn't have the shot. Connor couldn't fathom not having him at the wedding. They'd been friends for 20 years. He's the first person I've ever used the word bromance with, said Connor, 28, and the first person he told about falling in love with Lexi. It was just a given that when they tied the knot, Jeff would be at his side. And Connor can't bring himself to find a replacement best man. He's my guy, said Connor. Men don't have that many friendships. It's just really, really tough. Unlike other brides and grooms navigating vaccine tensions, the two men never had it out. Instead, since telling Connor he wouldn't be getting the jab, Jeff hasn't responded to further texts or explained why he's so opposed to the shot. He's been really walled off, said Connor. It's been radio silence. For the first time in his life, he's unsure about the future of their relationship. Can he still bring himself to show up as best man at Jeff's wedding later this year after being abandoned at his own? There's definitely going to be this permanent awkwardness, he said. I just never imagined a future where he wouldn't be there for me. Amy, back to Amy now. Amy sent her parents and siblings an email begging them to get vaccinated before her big day in September, as required by her ceremony venue, a synagogue in Western Canada. Amy, who wanted her last name withheld, was blindsided by her sister's reaction. They were close, and she was depending on her, out of everyone in their conservative evangelical family, to show up to be a bridesmaid. Instead, her sister's decision means Amy will get married without either her parents or 3 of her 4 siblings to toast her. And appear in pictures. Though the lawyer, that is Amy, has spent the past decade distancing herself from their views, she saw her wedding as a last-ditch effort to bring them together and bond over fun, non-threatening activities. It was a test of sorts, one they failed spectacularly. "My family had a real opportunity to demonstrate that even though we have different values, they still really care about me and want to be part of my life," she said. "I'm sad that they didn't take it." Amy plans to find proxy familial relationships in other places since her own mom and dad, quote, "are clearly not interested in being my parents in a way that I need." 'unquote.' In the end, her mom and dad decided they'll show up at City Hall, but without the vaccine, they won't be part of the wining, dining, and dancing at the reception after. Amy's glad they'll hear her vows and be in family photos for posterity's sake, but coming to the ceremony is still the, quote, 'bare minimum,' unquote, they can do, she tells me. Fundamentally, her own wedding day still wasn't enough for them to put her first. While she has accepted they won't ever change, that painful reality will haunt their relationship. They're stubborn and hard-headed, she said. They chose their belief system over me. Okay, now my reactions. First, Why can't one say that she chose her belief system over them? It's mind-bogglingly narcissistic. You can't come if you don't get vaccinated, but you're the stubborn ones. Can anybody listening to this program explain to me why that is an accurate assessment? The parents are the stubborn ones? The siblings are the stubborn ones. You can say they're all equally stubborn, okay, but you can't say, oh, they're stubborn, they won't get vaccinated, where— but I'm not stubborn in insisting that they do get vaccinated. I don't get it. By the way, there's no mention in this entire long piece of a COVID test? Why isn't that an option? Test yourself the day before the wedding, and, and if it's negative, come. Why wasn't that even mentioned? I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. Doesn't that seem to any of you as a logical solution?

I really, I have to control myself, Jenna, because in the last 5 to 10 years, I think it's fair to say empirically that there's been an amazing shift, a sea change in American attitudes to abortion, and especially in the youth, in the under-30s, who understand, they follow the science, they understand understand that this is a human being inside a mother's womb.

I, I don't want to get carried away with myself, but how important—

you are, you've taught constitutional law, you're a practicing lawyer— how important, how significant is the SCOTUS decision and the signing into effect of the new heartbeat law in Texas?

It's very significant. And even though this was simply a denial of an emergency application to stay the law, it shows that the Supreme Court is no longer reflexively protecting abortion as a so-called right. And that is what is the most important part of this decision. The Supreme Court said that they were not ruling on the merits of the issue. Of course, it will be litigated further on the merits and potentially wind its way up back to the Supreme Court. But what they are saying here is that no longer will an activist majority simply say, sorry, states, you don't have a compelling interest to protect unborn life. And so for all of us who understand actual science and who have seen the science, who see the strides that we have made in showing how heartbeats are about 5 to 6 weeks after conception.

They don't share values anymore, her siblings and her parents and she, but Nevertheless, she was looking forward to the wedding, to at least have a wonderful time together. But her fiancé, his parents will not go to the wedding if anybody who's not vaccinated shows up at the wedding. Nobody. So the parents won't go, and she's all heartbroken. She said they, they, they're so stubborn, they put their beliefs over me. Yeah, but of course she put her beliefs over them. So it's somewhat of a of an incredible inability to look into her own stubbornness. They're both equally stubborn. Just be intellectually honest, but it's hard for most people. And I just don't understand why a COVID test is not sufficient. If you come into the United States, an American citizen from abroad, and you're not vaccinated, you just take a, you just take a test. Why is that okay but not, but not for her wedding? Or why not have an outdoor wedding? It's Western Canada this month, weather's fine. Why not have the wedding outdoors? Maybe, by the way, it might be an outdoor wedding and they still want people vaccinated. We don't know. The article is actually very unhelpful. In not asking the obvious two questions. Is it outdoors? And will they— did they address the issue of a— what is it, PCP? What is it? Was it PCR?

PTA?

PTL? Praise— it was a praise the Lord test. Well, it's come out, it's P something. My wife will know. One second. All I need to do is look at my wife's IM. And the, the answer, uh, what is it? Yeah, PCR. That's what I said. Okay, very nice. Okay, all's good. Why don't— why didn't the article address those two questions? Is it outdoors and is it PCR? But it is so amazing. The, the thing to me is that the daughter's anger at the parents and siblings for their stubbornness, but they have no right to be angry at her, her fiancé, and his parents for their stubbornness. They're gonna drop dead from the parents visiting because they're not vaccinated. These people have bought, have bought and drunk, feasted on the Kool-Aid. Yeah, PCR, that's right. It's really, it's just astonishing. Marcia in Reseda, California. Hello.

Hi, hi Dennis, how are you?

Good, thank you.

Well, unfortunately this did happen to me. It's happening to me now. My son and I, we have a regular relationship. It's not strained or anything, and I live on the West Coast. He lives on the East Coast. And his wife and he had just bought a big, beautiful house on the East Coast, and they are having Christmas there. And I told him that I wanted to get away from California Christmas and I want to go back home. So everybody's going to be there. His dad and I are no longer married. We're still very close, one of my best friends, and as well as his stepmom. So they're all going to be there. So I texted— I mean, I emailed my son and told him that I'd like to come for Christmas, and they basically he let me know that if I'm not vaccinated, I can't come.

So is your ex vaccinated?

Yes, they're all vaccinated. So he said everybody has to be vaccinated, and I did tell him that about, you know, that I'm on ivermectin, which I do take it as a prophylaxis, but he didn't care about that. The me getting a COVID test was not even an option. And I don't get to see them often.

I don't get to Well, just tell me why. Why is that? If you— by the way, I just want you to know something, and you can tell, you can tell this to your son respectfully. If you are negative the day before, you are actually the safest person there. You are safer than the people who got vaccinated and didn't get a PCR test.

Right.

There is a greater likelihood of a person having COVID who has been vaccinated, then you're being tested negative the day before and having COVID. And so it's very sad to me. That's why I raised this issue. I have no doubt that this is happening in millions of families. That if they say you got to be vaccinated and they, and they will not accept a PCR test, then I'm sorry to say you have an anti— not irrational— anti-rational relative or friend. And there's nothing you can do with the anti-rational. It is one of the most frustrating things in life to deal with people for whom reason is irrelevant. I'm coming with a negative test Why is that not sufficient, given how many people who had been vaccinated are positive? I'm safer than the vaccinated who didn't get tested. That's a fact, not an opinion. It's a fact. There still remain facts. Lisa in Atlanta, Georgia. Hello.

Oh, I'm sorry, my sister-in-law. She lives in— she lives in Chicago, so that says something right there, right? Um, and she won't come because A, we're not vaccinated, but then B, she's like, we have to wear a mask. I said, I'm not wearing a mask in my own house. But the other kicker was this. She said next June we were trying to plan a trip for a lake because we all go to the lake house together, our whole family. And she said, no, I won't know the numbers by then, so I'm not coming next June. So she's— I said, I guess I'll never see you again. I'm not getting vaccinated, me and my whole family. And then we're Catholic. And she says, well, if you're pro-life, why are you killing your kids? Your kids need to get vaccinated. And so I said, that's totally not the situation at all. So she's just so clueless.

You're killing your kids. Ask her to send the data on kids dying from the flu versus COVID.

Right.

And I lost.

My friends, I'm Dennis Prager. I read to you a piece. It's now up at DennisPrager.com, by the way. Mind-blowing piece. A young woman is getting married, Western Canada. Piece from New York Magazine. And her fiancé's parents said nobody can come who isn't vaccinated. So she begged her parents and siblings to get vaccinated. They won't, and she's angry at them because they're stubborn. Of course, the fiancé and the parents, they're not stubborn. Only her parents are. It's, it's typical of the way in which a lot of minds work. I don't understand why the piece did not address the issue of getting a PCR test, finding out if you're negative the day before. Why is that a problem? You have to get a PCR test to come back even if you're vaccinated, because the government knows that vaccines do not give lasting— in many cases do not give lasting immunity. So why isn't everybody given a PCR test? But at least the people who are not vaccinated, and then they go to the wedding. Is the wedding outdoors? I wonder if they all have to wear masks if it's indoors. And then you, you people are calling up with exact same stories. Amazing. This woman won't see her sister-in-law for years. There's nothing you can do with the irrational. There's nothing. Nothing. It's a very, very sad and dangerous part of the human condition when reason ceases to be dominant. The Age of Reason, ironically, this is one of the great ironies of our time, it's a separate subject but it is huge. One of the ironies of our time is that the Age of Reason ushered in the age of irrationality. That's the irony. The secular world has produced massive amount of irrationality. All right, I'm gonna have to ask Sean to give me a call here, or Alan, you want to pick something? Because I, I have no— you don't either? Okay, my friends, I am embarrassed by these technical glitches that take place. They are not under my control, but, but they, they, they do embarrass me. Dennis in Minnesota, is that right? All right, Dennis in Minnesota, hello.

Hi Dennis.

Hi.

Uh, my in-laws are having their 50th wedding anniversary and they're celebrating it on a cruise this December, and they're paying for the whole family to go.

Yeah, go on. And the Princess Cruises has said 12 and up all must be vaccinated.

And I, I love my father-in-law. He's the nicest man, very generous. And I had to tell him that I'm not vaccinating my 13-year-old, nor are we gonna get it. And so now we can't— the cruise— we can't go on the cruise with the whole family.

That's right. I, I have been cruising for a quarter of a century, every single year, often twice a year. Here with listeners. I think it's one of the greatest ways to travel on Earth, but the cruise ships have lost me with this mandate. And it's all for show. It's all it is. It's the scared are running society. I don't blame you. I feel bad for you. I wish they could pick a different way to celebrate their 50th anniversary so as to include you, but they won't, right? I'm sorry, Dennis, you there? Oh, you know what, you're not there because I, I knocked you off. All right, you there? I'm sorry. Well, they, they, they won't. They— yeah, now I can. I couldn't. I'm sorry.

I, uh, my wife and I, we've had COVID, so I've done my own independent research that me I get no benefit from the shot, but we might be harmed by it.

That's right. There is no— it is, it is evil to tell people who had COVID to get vaccinated. Evil. It is— to say that it's not science-based is, is like saying that denying gravity is not science-based, but it's evil. We are living through so much sickness in our society. I don't know if we'll survive. Australia is a totalitarian state right now, and the people of Australia are by and large fine with it. Canada is becoming a police state. By and large, Canadians are fine with it. New Zealand is a police state. The only truth is what you hear from the government. That was stated by the Prime Minister of New Zealand. I have played that for you. All in the name of health, folks. Every totalitarian regime has some noble cause.

But Biden is taking a hit and Democrats are trying to stay clear from the caller in the last hour said, where's Kamala? Kamala is doing her best to stay clear of Joe Biden. I mean, her polls stink, but combined, the both of them combined, combined, I guess it's extra stinky together because both of them stink. And the funny thing is her polls are worse than his and she wants to be nowhere near this cat. But people are finding out that this Build Back Better thing is a socialist agenda and the $3.5 trillion partisan wish list this that the Democrats are wanting is starting to turn people off because people are starting to realize that the economic pain is going to be felt at home. Average everyday Americans sitting around their dinner table are going to feel that pain. Overall, the poll found that Biden's net approval average is -7. That means 44% are approving of his, his job as the president and 51% disapprove. So this is a major slide. A generic Republican on the ballot at this time would lead in all 7 districts going up against the Democrats and Democrat incumbents by, by 6 percentage points on average. So, Carl, the elections are so far away. Why are you worried about this? Or why are you talking about this now? Polls don't matter. Polls do matter to Democrats. Unfortunately, I feel like Republicans are starting to do do the same. Republicans have an opportunity of a lifetime, in my opinion, to kick Biden while he's down. And you have Kevin McCarthy— Kevin McCarthy seems to have backtracked slightly, but Mitch McConnell talking about they don't want to impeach. Why not?

Why not?

And the Congress is going to get to the bottom of what was, in retrospect, probably one of the worst mistakes of the last 3 months, which is abandoning our secure airbase with a, with a significant perimeter to protect against the exact kind of suicide bombing that claimed 13 American lives.

Now, I know an individual in General Milley's circle, and I am told exactly what you just said— they would not lift the cap on the troops. But my advice to this individual was, tell everyone you can to get a story straight, a timeline down, and every supporting document in one binder so that you do not have to change your story on timing or detail even once, or you'll have Benghazi on your hands. Chance. And I believe that the Pentagon would be well served to over-respond rather than under-respond at this point. What's your advice to the Pentagon, Senator, on how to respond to the queries, which will never stop until we have a day It's actually a pretty vapid article, but it's so inherently interesting I've read parts of it to you.

I'm Dennis Prager. It's from New York Magazine. Woman whose parents won't attend because they have to be vaccinated according to her fiancé's parents. You're not vaccinated, you can't come to the wedding. So there's no mention in the article about a PCR test. Why isn't that okay? You're tested negative the day before the wedding, why can't you go? But here's another question. Like, I'd like the living martyr to tell me if I'm missing something. Something. If you're vaccinated, don't you think you're protected? Isn't like that the point of being vaccinated? If you're vaccinated, why do you give a hoot if I am? I'd like somebody to explain that to me. You don't have much faith in the vaccination in the vaccine if you won't be around people who are not vaccinated? I thought that was the point of the vaccine. If you got a measles vaccine, is it okay to be around people who aren't vaccinated against measles? If you had a polio vaccine, was it okay to be around people who weren't vaccinated against polio?

Yeah.

That was the whole point. The flu vaccine— I don't think ever half the country got a flu vaccine, but the people who got the flu vaccine thought that they were immune against the flu vaccine, even though half the country didn't have a flu vaccine. This is the first time people are vaccinated and are scared witless about people who are not. But Amy, Amy's parents— Amy thinks her parents in this story are the stubborn ones. That's really mind-blowing, truly mind-blowing. All right, let's go to Freehold, New Jersey, and Don. Hello, Don.

Hey Dennis, um, went through a very similar situation to this about 2 weeks ago. My daughter had COVID about 5 weeks ago, so we were concerned about going to a wedding being that she had COVID so recently.

So even better than the PCR test, we bought a bunch of rapid in-home tests that we literally took before we left for the wedding.

You get the results in like 15 minutes and then you're good to go.

And everybody was okay with your going, or you— oh, you were okay with your going because there was no mandate, as it were. I see. So, okay, you're right, exactly. But of course, I mean, there must be people who are vaccinated who think, ah, but you can get COVID between the time of the vaccine and the time of the wedding. That is a very dangerous hour, as we all know. All right, Mary in Santa Monica, California. Hi.

Hi. You know, when I first heard this, my first reaction was I give the marriage a week. But no matter how long they're married, I, I, I think it's quite— it's possible that they are are going to come to resent each other, and each one is going to think that the other had more— carried more weight, pushed more for this estrangement. And when their parents get sick and die, both of them are going to have— both of these— this couple are going to have a lot of unfinished business about having done this. And, you know, it's—

well, it all depends. It all depends. If the bride, if Amy, thinks her future in-laws, her fiancé's parents, are right— may not, may not be— maybe the only estrangement will be between Amy and her entire family, whom already she is somewhat different from, as the article notes, because she she has left the conservative world and the evangelical world of her parents and family. So if she thinks her in-laws are right— I think her in-laws are crackpots, but she might think that they're right— and then there may not be this rift. But there's going to be some rift. But that the article did not even address the question of a PCR test is only a testament to the poor writing at New York Magazine. I mean, it is so obvious a solution that it's mind-boggling that it was not even mentioned here. Okay, uh, Joe, Thousand Oaks, California. Hello.

Hi Dennis, it's an honor to speak with you. I'm 30 years old, I'm healthy. I was invited to a wedding in Monterey, California. I had no intent of getting the vaccine, and today I am planning to get the vaccine because I think if I want to do things in my life like this, I'm going to have to get vaccinated. And I wanted to point out that it's not necessarily the couple per se asking for the guests to be vaccinated. It's these venues, and I do not hear this from churches. So churches are not requiring it, but secular wedding venues are.

Well, it's interesting. The article mentioned that it was at a synagogue in Western Canada. It did not mention that the fiancé is a Jew. But I can't imagine why they'd be in a synagogue if he wasn't. So are synagogues more hypochondriac than churches? Probably. But that would be the upshot here if you're right. But in Canada, the suppression of churches' freedoms is very, very deep.

Deep.

So I, I don't know. You're right about America. I don't know if it's true about Canada. It's very sad that you feel that you have to take the vaccine in order to function in the society. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying it's sad.

When does— when do the families of the people stranded there go public? That's really the issue, Byron, because that will draw attention.

Well, I think it's going to be pretty soon. I mean, the United States the United States is dependent either on the Taliban or the Qataris or some other nation to help get United States people out of Afghanistan. And let me say one more thing. I think on this issue of evacuations, there are two sides to this issue. There is who we have not yet brought out of Afghanistan, and there's who we have brought out of Afghanistan. That's a lot of interpreters that we brought out, and we are finding out more about the frenzied, confused, and incomplete vetting that has taken place with Afghans who have been brought to the United States. We have one member of Congress, Representative Tiffany, I believe is his name, from Wisconsin who went to an Army base where thousands and thousands of people have been brought and is asking, well, what's the vetting on these people? Did they need to be brought to the United States immediately? Could they be waiting in a third country, safe from being out of Afghanistan, waiting in a third country while the United States conducts normal vetting operations that we perform on all refugees? So there's, there's a— and they're not. I mean, they're already, they're already in the United States. Biden administration is issuing them all what's called humanitarian parole. That is, coming to the United States because we say so.

I'll bet they think that's okay. Well, the 9-year-old doesn't have his mask on, you got to tape it to his head. Now tape it to— tape the mask around it so it stays over his mouth and his nose.

Well, everybody, final segment of this hour. A story that probably hit home for many of you. Article from New York Magazine, poorly written because it didn't deal with the most obvious question, or questions, that I have raised. But nevertheless, it's a fascinating piece, so I read it to you. Young woman deeply angry at her parents who won't get vaccinated to her wedding, so she says, "They love their values more than me." That's a bad sign. Instead of, I understand my parents don't want to get vaccinated. It's not like they don't want to wear a brown suit. We're asking the people in the photographs to wear brown suits. My parents don't like brown suits. People who don't want to get vaccinated believe that the chances of it hurting them are greater than the chances of it helping them. That's it. That's, that's what they believe. You can think they're out of their minds, but they're not. Neither side is out of their minds. People who get vaccinated have reason to get vaccinated. People who don't get vaccinated have reason not to get vaccinated. But the people who get vaccinated don't see the possibility don't honor the other side. The people who don't get vaccinated do honor the other side. Big difference. But it's true for everything that's at all left-right. The left has no idea that there may be honorability to a— or honor to a right-wing side. Like the abortion law in Texas. There's a heartbeat. We think it deserves to live. Oh, you're scum. You hate women. You are despicable. You are vile. You are evil. You think that that creature with a heartbeat is a human? You are sick. We are noble. Kill it, baby. Kill it. That's our position, 'cause it's not as valuable as a mushroom. That's an honorable position. That it might be human life, is a dishonorable position. Such is the sickness of the left in a nutshell, and it pervades every single issue. I honor those who get vaccines. The vaccine crowd does not honor the people who don't. Just like with abortion, I understand pro-choice. They do not understand that people might actually think that a, that a being anything in a woman that has a heartbeat is a human being. That's not acceptable.

Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.

Israel is getting ready for their fourth jab. Now, some people— this is how dishonest the media is— they say, well, Israel in the last couple of days, they've seen their rates go down. Now, why do you think that COVID rates would be going down in Israel the last couple of days? Anybody? Is it because the vaccine, masks? No, it's because of the high holidays. Okay. People are staying at home and they're not going out and they're not working and they're not congregating. So they've locked down the country through basically pseudo-religious mandate. Israel and Sweden, if you look at the 7-day rolling average of new cases per 100,000, Sweden on this chart that has been published is right around 10%. Israel has far exceeded 100%. And in fact, there are more cases right now happening in America and the Western world than there were a year ago. And a very basic question should be, is the vaccine helping or is it hurting? What's the answer to that question? Why is it that rates keep on going up the more vaccinated we are? Well, Israel is the only country in the world that gives the third vaccination to everyone at ages 12+. A COVID passport is required for 12+. And by the way, let me just say, I'm a very— I'm a lover of Israel and Jerusalem. I don't know if I'm ever going back to Israel. Israel. I don't. I said this to one of my friends the other day who runs a great project there. He said, oh, you'll be coming back. I said, I don't know if I'll be welcome in Israel because I'm not getting vaccinated. I'm not doing any of this stuff. Numerous blockades throughout Israel and mask mandates where Sweden has no booster shots, no COVID passports, no, no lockdowns and no masks.

We're going to get to the bottom of what happened. Then if the Democratic Congress right now won't do it, then we'll get to the bottom of it in early 2023 once Republicans have won back control of the Congress. Not just the Pentagon, but anyone who's involved in this needs to understand that Congress and the American people are going to insist upon answers, and they need to have those answers ready, and they need to be documented and demonstrated with evidence. Any kind of shifting explanation.

Most prominent or most effective or most influential leftist of the last generation, who by the way I actually had on my show. He died a few years ago. Obviously I had him on prior to his dying, although I would like to interview him again today, but I have no access. And among his positions, his hatred of America was so deep, and his book on America is the most widely used quote-unquote history of the United States in American schools. He so hated the United States, he told me, you can hear the recording, it's on YouTube. He said that he was not capable capable of saying that even World War II was a moral war because he was so certain that any war America fought in was imperialist. So now Mary Graybar has written a book on perhaps an even more important subject, The 1619 Project: The Grand Lie Being Taught to Your Children in Almost Every every school in the United States, started by a newspaper dedicated to lying, the New York Times. It's titled Debunking the 1619 Project: Exposing the Plan to Divide America, and it is up at DennisPrager.com. And to say the least, I will be reading it immediately. It is. It was just published 2 days ago. Mary Graybar, welcome back to my show.

Well, thank you. It's great to be here.

Where do you live?

I live in Clinton, New York.

Hmm, lucky you.

I'm at the—

I'm sorry, lucky you. I'm just playing on the name Clinton. I've been to Clinton, New York. You have a college there, right?

That's right. Hamilton College.

Yeah, yeah, no, I've been there. So is your area more or less red or conservative?

Not this village, not really. Upstate New York is. Our congresswoman is Claudia Tenney. She is fantastic. You may have heard about her fight. I think it was like the longest drawn-out vote count in history against Anthony Brandeis, but she is back in Congress. But this town, you know, it's a college town, and for the most part—

I need to know exactly.

Yeah, yeah.

So give people a 1-minute summary of the 1619 Project.

The 1619 Project is an attempt to rewrite American history and to replace the year 1776 1976 with the year 1619, when it's alleged that the first slaves arrived here. And, of course, I dispute that. And it's based on two sort of legs. And so, it's not a three-legged stool, it's a two-legged stool. One argument is a moral argument, and another argument is economic. The economic argument is based on a false new history of capitalism, a neo-Marxist racist school that because the advocates of it and the practitioners can't do basic math, they grossly overestimate the contribution of slave labor to the country's wealth. And the other one is a moral argument in which it is— the history is presented as uniformly being of white people either owning slaves, oppressing black people, or profiting from them, and blacks all either being slaves or oppressed, and then leading America to democracy, which curiously aligns with the far left of the Democratic Party, the politics of the Squad.

Yep. And this whole thing was started by the New York Times. And I know, I'm sure you know the answer to this, but if you don't, it's okay. Didn't some leading liberal historians say the New York Times lied with this 1619 Project?

Well, there was Leslie Harris, who is a good historian of African American history. She was actually hired as a consultant and they ignored her corrections. So they presented slavery as being, you know, what you would find in the antebellum South, and she said, "No, no, you know, it changed through time, and it was different during the colonial period and in different parts of the country." And they just ignored what she said, even though she had been hired by them.

Right. But I, though, I was thinking, I just can't remember his name, a major Princeton liberal.

Sean Wilentz.

Yes, Sean Wilentz. Yeah, he basically said it was a lie.

Yes. And he, he wrote that letter that was also signed by Gordon Wood and a few other historians.

I want my listeners to understand this. The leading historians of American history, nearly all of whom are liberal, said this was a lie.

Correct.

Yeah, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Schools will still teach it. How many schools are teaching it?

Well, it's estimated that about three-quarters of the schools are using it. Yeah, it's been shipped out. It was immediately shipped out before the ink even dried on the COVID of the magazine. And since then, there have been all kinds of products made to go with it—podcasts, there are lesson plans, discussion questions, Quizlets, you know, little videos. Teachers are being bribed. Bribed with grants to implement it in their classroom by the Pulitzer Center, which distributes it. And there are other organizations—

bribed with grants?

Well, they're given $5,000 grants. I call it bribed.

No, no, I'm sure I agree with you, but I wanted to know the particulars.

Oh, okay. Yeah, no, they've been reaching out to teachers, and the creator of the project, Nicole Hannah-Jones, has participated doing online classes and talks. And so they are given $5,000 in order to teach this material, to come up with their own creative ways of teaching it with their own lesson plans, to contribute to a database which is then shared among all teachers so they can collaborate and share tips for how, how to use this, you know, malicious history, you know, propaganda actually. But, yeah, they are given— there are contests for coming up with the best lessons to include this history. And so there are so many ways that teachers are being, you know, lured or rewarded, you know, through money, through accolades, AIDS recognition. So it is a big industry. Three-quarters of the schools.

So as I understand it, the, the basic theses, as in addition to what you said, are— tell me if I have this right— one thing is the American Revolution was fought primarily against Great Britain in order to preserve slavery.

Is that accurate? Yes, although that was modified later after a lot of flack to say that some of the colonists, you know, wanted to declare independence in order to maintain slavery. So there was, you know, a little— two words were inserted, but essentially the meaning is the same, that It was fought to preserve slavery. Yes.

And that it was founded in 1619 when the first slaves came. But you said that that was not correct. I didn't interrupt you. What did you mean?

Well, the history is very sketchy. The records are sketchy. So in 1619, sometime in late August, there was a privateering vessel called called the White Lion that arrived and took the colonists by surprise. You know, they were working out in the tobacco fields, and they were— you know, most people living here were indentures, you know, living very harsh lives. And, and so the ship— they want— you know, they had attacked a Portuguese slave ship and, and taken, you know, the Africans that had been captured by other Africans, of course. And they needed food, and the ship captain needed food, so they exchanged these Africans— between 20 and 30, we don't know exactly—

for food. Hold it there. I want to reintroduce you and your book, Mary Graybar, Debunking the 1619 Project. The book is up at DennisPrager.com.

But Biden is taking a hit and Democrats are trying to stay clear from the, the caller in the last hour said, where's Kamala? Kamala is doing her best to stay clear of Joe Biden. I mean, her polls stink, but combined, uh, they're the both of them combined, combined, I guess it's extra stinky together because both of them stink. And the funny thing is her polls are worse than his and she wants to be nowhere anywhere near this cat. But people are finding out that this Build Back Better thing is a socialist agenda. And the $3.5 trillion partisan wish list that the Democrats are wanting is starting to turn people off because people are starting to realize that the economic pain is going to be felt at home. Average everyday Americans sitting around their dinner table are going to feel that pain. Overall, the poll found that Biden's net approval average is -7. That means 44% are approving of his, his job as the president and 51% disapprove. So this is a major slide. A generic Republican on the ballot at this time would lead in all 7 districts going up against the Democrats and Democrat incumbents by, by 6 percentage points on average. So, Carl, the elections are so far away, 'Why are you worried about this?' or 'Why are you talking about this now? Polls don't matter.' Polls do matter to Democrats. Unfortunately, I feel like Republicans are starting to do the same. Republicans have an opportunity of a lifetime, in my opinion, to kick Biden while he's down. And you have Kevin McCarthy— Kevin McCarthy seems to have backtracked slightly, but Mitch McConnell talking about they don't want to impeach. Why not? Why not?

This is really a wonderful project of Hillsdale. Country depends on teaching truth. Truth. Download Hillsdale 1776 curriculum for free today at k12.hillsdale.edu. k12.hillsdale.edu. Mary Graybar's book Debunking the 1619 Project is up at DennisPrager.com. I'm still reeling at your response to me that three-quarters of America's schools are teaching the 1619 Project. Project. Is it that I got that accurately? Correct?

Correct. Yes. So yeah, when I tell parents the dangers—

I mean, true dangers— of sending their kids to school in America, I'm not exaggerating.

That's right.

The 1619 Project that harmed the New New York Times has done to our civilization cannot be overstated. So we were talking about the dishonesty starting with the 1619. So, so to the colonists' surprise, a ship came in 1619 and it had some Africans on the ship and they were traded for tobacco. Is that correct? For food. For food. Okay. And what did the colonists do with these Africans?

Africans? Well, they set them to work in the tobacco fields right alongside the indentured servants from England, you know, and they were treated the same way as the indentures. Life was very harsh back then. The survival rate wasn't very long, but they really didn't know what— how to categorize them, and historians are still debating were they Were the Africans then indentured? Were they indentures with longer terms than the Europeans? Were they slaves? So that is debatable. But what is known is that one of these Africans, who is in some accounts said to have been a slave, earned his freedom and then enslaved another African. And his was the first court case that established this idea of slavery and codified it. So the 1619 Project's assertion that, you know, you know, bang, right when this ship arrived, we started slavery and we are founded as a slave nation intentionally is absolutely false.

Who owned that ship?

Um, it was, uh, a captain by the name of Jope, and it was—

well, what country? What was it? Yeah, go on.

I was flying under the Dutch flag and he was British.

And, and was he specifically bringing Africans in order to trade them?

Um, yes. So, uh, it was during the war, and so they were allowed to attack enemy vessels, uh, the Portuguese ship that, you know, had gone there. So his ship and another one attacked them, and they raided it and took some Africans on board.

Okay, I didn't quite follow that. What war are you referring to?

Uh, it was the, uh, the Seven Years' War.

And, and Okay, so they— the captain of this ship attacked a Portuguese ship? I didn't quite follow that.

Yes, because the Portuguese were trading in slaves and they would come to— yeah, yeah.

So they had the intention of trading these people? Correct. So he— would he have said, are these slaves? What would he have answered? Well, we don't know.

I mean, they were definitely not free. And, you know, what he was concerned with was getting something in return. And what they needed at the moment was provision.

Right. So again, I want to get this clear, really clear. Their status once traded was indistinguishable from a white indentured servant.

It's hard to tell because, you know, they weren't— they were not white. And, um, but for all practical purposes, uh, they were treated the same way, uh, that indentures were. So that was— it was unknown what to do with them. I mean, it was not the way— do you know what happened to them?

Did they die on the job? Were they let free? Were their children enslaved? Do we have any idea?

Well, we do know about Anthony Johnson, the man I mentioned before, who in 1654— by that time he had won his freedom, he had married another slave woman, and he, you know, became free and acquired wealth wealth and land and slaves. And he had an African slave by the name of John Casor who went to two white neighbors and insisted that his 7-year indenture was up and sued Anthony Johnson. But Anthony Johnson won in court, and it was ruled that John Kaser was his slave for life. And that, as far as we know, is the first case where slavery was legally established.

Fascinating. And what is the other thesis past 1619, that, that the— that America was essentially a slave-based society? Is that the general thrust of the 1619 Project? Yes, that's correct.

So everything that we have in terms of our wealth and our power is due to the slaves because economically they made this nation what it is. And that of course has been proven false.

So obviously false because the poorest part of the country is the one that had slaves.

That's correct. That's correct. And I go into that in one of my chapters in debunking the 1619 Project. So, yeah. So, right. So, the new school of new history of capitalism, those historians basically inflate the figures. They can't calculate it correctly and claim that that, you know, because of the residual effects of the economy, of the southern cotton economy, that American wealth was built.

All right, well, we've got to leave it at that because I want to push your book, if that's okay with you. Yeah. Mary Graybar does great work debunking the 1619 Project, exposing the plan to divide America. It is up at DennisPrager.com. Mary also has a PragerU video. Mary, we adore you. Well, thank you.

When does— when do the families of the people stranded there go public? That's really the issue, Byron, because that will draw attention.

Well, I think it's going to be pretty soon. I mean, the United States is dependent either on the Taliban or the Qataris or some other nation to help get United States people out of Afghanistan. And let me say one more thing. I think on this issue of evacuations, there are two sides to this issue. There is who we have not yet brought out of Afghanistan, and there's who we have brought out of Afghanistan. And that's a lot of interpreters that we brought out, and we are finding out more about the frenzied confused and incomplete vetting that has taken place with Afghans who have been brought to the United States. We have one member of Congress, Representative Tiffany, I believe is his name, from Wisconsin, who went to an Army base where thousands and thousands of people have been brought and is asking, well, what's the vetting on, on these people. Did they need to be brought to the United States immediately? Could they be waiting in a third country, safe from being out of Afghanistan, waiting in a third country while the United States conducts normal vetting operations that we perform on all refugees? So there's, there's a— and they're not— I mean, they're already, they're already in the United States. Biden administration is issuing them all what's called humanitarian parole. That is, coming to the United States because we say so.

Any teacher who's taping masks to 9-year-olds' heads should be fired immediately. I mean, that's not— I'm not going out on a limb here to say that. Do you disagree with that? Now, the lunatics who are so mask and vaccine crazed, who are freaking out about 100,000 people in a college football stadium, I'll bet they think that's okay. Well, the 9-year-old doesn't have his mask on, you got to tape it to his head. Head. Now tape it to— tape the mask around it so it stays over his mouth and his nose.

The number of U.S. children being homeschooled has doubled since the start of the pandemic, from roughly 2.5 to 5 million, representing 11% of households nationwide now homeschooling their children. The reasons are varied, researchers say, but overall the shift represents a loss of faith in America's public school system. By the way, I don't know why they say that. It's also private school It's an odd thing. It's not— people, obviously, if people Something you should tell your kids if they're studying the terrible lie of the 1619 Project. And you should sort of memorize this: no one on Earth was arguing against the institution of slavery until the founders of America began having a loud public argument over it. America was not the first to have slavery. It was the first to argue against it. You think your kids are going to learn that at the regular school? Why would you want your kids to attend a school where they're not taught that? Here's from a piece in the LA Times. Without mentioning Larry Elder by name, State Senator Sidney Kamlaeger said there's a recall challenger who, quote, thinks he might have an edge because of his color, but racism comes in all shapes and sizes and we're not stupid. Larry Elder is Black and is a racist, and men give birth. I mean, it's endless. It's just endless The monstrosity lies that pervade the left, the world, it is an upside-down world that we are supposed to accept as true, and people do. If you've had COVID, you need a vaccine. That is up there with Larry Elder is a racist. That is up there with Men give birth. If you've had COVID, you need a vaccine. We're supposed to believe all this, and people do. The power of propaganda is immense, just immense. It's been a sobering year and a half for me as an American. The article notes Malina Abdullah, a professor at California State University Los Angeles, followed up by saying she didn't say his name, that is State Senator Sidney Kamlager, but I will. Larry Elder is a blackface on white supremacy. They never explain themselves. What does that mean? Yeah, I'll tell you what it means. It means that if you differ with the left They can call you anything, and that's it, because the left doesn't debate. The left smears. They don't debate. Okay, I will raise tens of thousands of dollars to any New York Times columnist who wishes to debate me, other than Bret Stephens, because we already debated a few times and I like the guy, so that's a separate issue. They won't. More people know me than any New York Times columnist by name. So it's not like they're going down on the totem pole to debate me. How about any Black debating Larry Elder? How about Ta-Nehisi Coates or Ibram X. Kendi? They don't debate. We debate. We debate because we always win. And you know why we always win? Not because we're better debaters. Because everything we say is based on truth and reason. Everything the left says is a lie and passion. That's why. Everything. Now, they don't— if they say that 2 and 2 is 4, that's not based on passion. But that's not a left-wing position. Any left-wing position not liberal, not conservative, left-wing is not based on fact, and it is not based in reason. Name me a left-wing position that is. Left-wing, not liberal. Black dormitories on campuses. Is that rational? Is that moral? Is that anti-racist, or is it pro-racist? Two groups want all black dorms. Two, the Ku Klux Klan and the Democratic Party, which is where, by the way, the Ku Klux Klan originated, in the Democratic Party. You have accepted the lie that the Democrats and the Republicans switched sides. The Republicans became the racists and the Democrats became the anti-racists. That's a lie too. The Democrats are as racist today as when the Ku Klux Klan came from the party. The Democrats only hurt blacks. That's all they do to blacks is hurt them because they have contempt for them. It is so obvious to anyone who wishes to simply observe reality. The left contempt for black human beings. And that's why they could say Larry Elder is the white— is the blackface of white supremacy. By the way, out of curiosity, how many of you have ever met a white supremacist? Why haven't I met one? I'm not a young man, living in America my whole life, I never met one. Amazing.

Now, I know an individual in General Milley's circle, and I am told exactly what you just said. They would not lift the cap on the troops.

And I believe that the Pentagon would be well served to over-respond rather than under-respond at this point. What's your advice to the Pentagon, Senator, on—

Florida International University, right? That's FIU International, right? Hi, I'm Dennis Prager from Campus Reform. Are you ready? The office— first of all, just give you an idea of what's the, the Orwellian takeover of our colleges— the Office of Social Justice and Inclusion. Oh my God, how do you qualify to work in that office? Gender studies degree. Get a gender studies degree, I think. I think, yeah, or education degree, equally relevant. And probably be female. Has released an inclusive language guide. All the colleges have done that on its website that urges the university community to cease using non-inclusive language. By the way, they take that as a given. Why is non-inclusive language bad? I like men's rooms, women's rooms. I like men's teams, women's teams. I like man and woman. I don't want to be included in women. That's a nice thing in my life. I don't want an inclusive thing. Okay, the guide states that gender-inclusive language— are you ready, folks— such as MX— that is, that catching on? Mix? I'm serious, it's not catching on? I've seen it. I wonder if the New York Times uses it. Mix in place of Ms., Miss, Mrs., Mr., sir, ma'am, madam. So it's for— it's instead of all of them, so that you don't know— don't need what? You don't need mix? Well, because the— well, that's a good point. If it means everything, you don't need it. That came from Sean, who's Mixer Dennis Prager? Who's sipping on his vodka. What? Mixer Dennis Prager? So no, I would be Mix Dennis Prager and my wife would be Mix Susan Prager. So what's the point? So what is the point? Well, the point is that'll be dropped too, because why would you even have— well, only because if you say, so Dennis Prager went to the park yesterday, and then Mix Prager You say that then Mr. Prager told the press. That's why. Anyway, your question is a good one. But in any event, they don't even want Ms. Isn't it amazing Ms. was considered an advance? So Mrs. was awful because it stated the marital status of a woman. By the way, for the record, my wife loves being called Mrs. Prager. No, she has not asked for Mix Prager. She's asked me to be Mix Prager. What— what— when you think about what— what is wrong with Mrs.? I mean, their argument, I remember when it happened because of Ms. Magazine. So the argument was, well, we don't tell men's marital status. By the way, it's not an illegitimate argument. I found that I wouldn't even have minded. I would have been pro having a word for a single man and married man. I want to pressure men into getting married. Unmarried. So I actually, my answer to the problem of, well, there's Miss and Mrs. but there's only Mr. is, okay, let's make a title. And there was, by the way, did you know that there was a title for an unmarried man? Master. That was, that's a long time ago. It's before my time, but it existed. There was a joke in my school because there was a kid whose last name was Bader But I won't continue with that joke. In any event, Sean liked it. The living martyr is suffering martyrdom at this moment. See, this is a perfect example. I have two completely different reactions in front of me. Opposite. 180 degrees opposite. But that was the case. There was a word for an unmarried man, and I would be for it. I want to pressure both sexes into getting married. It is good for them, good for society. Is it good for every single human? Nothing is good for every single human. Sometimes seatbelts kill people, but seatbelts are better than not seatbelts. Now here's the best part from Florida International University Office of Social Justice and Inclusion. Instead of saying husband-wife, the guide suggests partner-spouse. Now this is an interesting thing because gays, I don't think they support this. Gays, a.k.a. male men married to a man, love saying my husband, and women married to a woman love saying my wife. They don't want to say my partner. I'll bet you this would not go over well in the LGBTQ+ KATPZGN community. So instead of saying husband, wife, the guide suggests partner, spouse. And here's my favorite: you may kiss each other instead of 'you may kiss the bride.' Now, it takes a very creative mind, very creative, to figure out what is wrong with 'you may now kiss the bride.' So I'll tell you everything that's wrong. They don't like the word 'bride.' They don't like the fact that it's him kissing her. It implies patriarchy. However, is there any bride in the history of the world who was not happy to hear, "You may now kiss the bride"? Has any bride ever actually objected? Okay, this is reason number 8229 why you're wasting your money sending your kid to almost any university. Diversity in this country. 1-8-Prager-776.

Hi Dennis, hi, how are you?

Uh, Dennis, why is it that you always, um, tout, uh, universities when it's convenient and then run them down when it's not?

Because if I can show you that even the cesspool of the university says something that I agree with, it gives it more ammunition. It gives it more credibility. I think that Yale is a cesspool. However, if Yale even comes out with a study that supports something that isn't on the left, of course I'll cite it. But just a quick question, because the people on the left will then believe it. That's why I don't say it for your benefit if you're conservative. I say it for the benefits of non-conservatives. That's the only reason. I have no interest in anything Yale has to say. However, half this country does, so I will cite them.

But there are so many departments at Yale, you can't be faulting Yale stinks.

It stinks. Okay.

In what regard? In what regard?

It is a left-wing indoctrination center. Read anything David Gelernter, who was a professor at Yale, has to say about Yale. Yale is a wasteland. Look at the way students curse teachers. There's a video of Yale students cursing teachers because they said that the professors said it doesn't matter wear whatever you like on Halloween, and that was enough for them to be publicly cursed, and Yale then dropped them from their faculty positions. That's typical of Yale. Is the— are there some good teachers of biology at Yale? I have no doubt that there are. And guess what? They're cowards, like almost every professor in this country. They're cowards because the ones who watch their university become a cesspool say nothing because they're afraid. That's what happens in a world where people don't fear God. They fear people. They fear the New York Times. Fear of God is one of the greatest ideas ever invented because if you do, you don't fear Yale. You don't fear the New York Times or CNN. I'm one of them, okay?
