The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

Well, hello everybody and a welcome to spring. Although if you've been in lockdown, the seasons haven't mattered very much. Do you remember winter? Do you remember fall? Do you remember last summer? Do you remember last spring? That they all collide into one thing. There was a Wall Street Journal piece I wish I had brought it into the studio. It's still on my desk at home, but it was a Wall Street Journal piece. The lockdowns were not worth it. Did you see that piece? Yeah, there's another one. And I just want to remind you, I, and I, I have no self-consciousness about this. I said they were worthless last April. A month into them. No, I— excuse me, I didn't say they were worthless. I said they were destructive, and they were. How is Florida done with its lack of lockdown, minimal or minimal lockdown, compared to California? Is that a fair question, my friends? Do you know how underreported the damage to people's lives economically, socially, morally, maritally, terms of addiction, depression, suicide, diseases gone untreated because people were afraid to go into a hospital, etc., etc.? They're so underreported. Anyway, welcome to the show. Hope you had a good weekend. What is it, the spring equinox? Correct. Summer solstice, winter solstice, spring equinox. Some places are still in for a big snowstorm. Every time spring comes, people think, ah, it's going to be a big change, and then some people in the northern climbs get a real hit of a blizzard. Well, if it goes on, the next great lie, because if Americans get along, Democrats don't win, the left doesn't have any sense of purpose. So the trick is to have as many Americans hate one another as possible, especially hate whites. And the New York Times is the leader in the hate And it is pure hate because the whole thing's a gigantic lie about this onslaught of anti-Asian American violence. What is it, by the way? What does Asian American mean? Does it include Indians? It's called the Asian subcontinent. Does it include Indians? Does it include Filipinos? My— I call him affectionately my drug dealer because I'm addicted to audio equipment and he is my primary supplier and for years and he's Filipino and he's startled at the idea that quote Asian Americans unquote are targets of great racism whether violent or verbal. He doesn't know what they're talking about. He wanted to know if he should come on the radio and say nothing's happened to him. I will have data for you on this Asian American thing later. But I want to read to you Los Angeles Times, which competes with the New York Times for low intellectual level and fomenting hatred. It's a very, very tough race. So it had a piece by an author of Chinese extraction, ancestry, whatever term you wish to use. He's the author of Interior Chinatown, which won the 2020 National Book Award for fiction. That's a big honor. So, uh, I've been thinking about my children. He writes a piece, The Cruel Plot Twist in the Asian American Story. One more word on Asian as a term. It's the first time in history that the Japanese and Chinese have been lumped into one category. Just to give an example, or, or the Japanese and Koreans. Do you know how much Koreans and Chinese suffered under Japanese Nazi-like rule? But I guess they're all united in their anger at America. Most successful, I believe— is that not correct? The most successful ethnic group is Asian American. They really got to pay. The only people actually discriminating against Asian Americans are the left, like Harvard. Because if they actually admitted people based on academic credentials, Asian Americans would be the predominant group, just like Jews would have been the predominant group in the '30s and '40s, and Harvard had a quota on the number of Jews they would accept into Harvard. This, they're now turning, this is Asian American writers are now turning into Charles M. Blows. This is what reminded me, I'm gonna read to you from his piece. I've been thinking about my children. What do I say to them about all of this? What do I tell these kids born in the U.S. to parents also born in the U.S.? That they are now and always will be seen by some people primarily as Asian and nothing more? Poor kids. By the way, at least he uses the word "some." Some people. How much intermarriage is there between Asian Americans and non-Asian Americans? It's enormous. But that's irrelevant because somebody Somewhere some Asian American got beaten up, which is of course terrible. We don't even know though in what cases it's because the person was Asian American. BuzzFeed gave an example that— did I read that? Did I mention that on the air? BuzzFeed, a left-wing source— I'll get it all for you, it's quite remarkable— cited an example of, and provided the video of an Asian American out of nowhere, somebody running up to him, smashing his head. He falls on his head and he dies. I looked up the case. Antwan Winston, I think his name was. Black guy. BuzzFeed never mentions it was a black guy. Because the purpose of all of this hatred fomented by the New York Times, BuzzFeed, and the rest is to hate whites.

Get it?

Whites have created this. This is the new evil in America. Anti-Asian American racism. I've told you all of my broadcast career, hysteria is to the left what oxygen is to biological life. The latest— and hysterias are, they're all phony. It's just phony. What am I going to tell my children? This article, by the way, I invite Mr. Yu on the show. It's irrelevant, needless to say. They never come on. Almost never, even though I am noted for treating people I differ with politely. They don't come on because they do not have an intellectual or moral basis for their positions, and somebody like me would make that clear without calling them a name, without even arguing. Like others watching the recent rise in anti-Asian harassment and violence. He's watching it. Where is he seeing it? You know where he's seeing it? On CNN and the New York Times. That's where it's rising. I'll tell you the numbers of, uh, of how much in America it has happened during the course of the program. I've been thinking of my parents, my in-laws and their friends, people who have lived here for 50, 60, 70 years, or in some cases their lives. There's a term for these people— Americans. Couldn't agree with him more on that. My dad was an aerospace engineer in Southern California for over 30 years, helping to make airplanes safer. My mom worked two jobs, including one as a public school employee. Both of my wife's grandfathers served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. So what's the problem? We'll find out.

Trending now on America First with Sebastian Burke.

And what we found out was that was on track. All he had to do to get a simple deal, get a million-dollar fine, no prison time, was roll on Donald Trump. Tell a story that Donald Trump, when he donated a million dollars to Donald Trump, Imad Zuberi, that he used foreign money. The problem was Imad Zuberi wasn't willing to lie. He did not use foreign money to make a donation to Donald Trump's inaugural committee. As soon as he wouldn't go along with that statement, prosecutors throw the book, and he went from a million-dollar fine offer to 12 years in prison and $18 million in fines, which, by the way, is historic for any donor crime case that I've covered in the last 30 years.

So, so, like Mike Flynn, the authorities said, if you tell us what we want to hear, if you give us— manufacture, implicate Donald Trump in this, it's going to be much better for you. But this man refused.

Yeah, because he didn't want to lie, right? He didn't use foreign money. He was adamant about it. And then all of a sudden they're threatening his wife with prosecution, just like Mike Flynn's son was threatened. And they start throwing all these other cases. Now let's look at some of the charges and what I learned about them. One of the charges they threatened him with was obstruction of justice because some of the materials on his computer were erased while he was on Justice Department, under Justice Department investigation. What I've been told from my sources An intel— a US government intelligence scrub team went in and did the erasure. That's something that should be clear to the judge, but we don't know about it in public. So he gets threatened with something that someone else did, the intelligence community did, probably to protect his operations.

I don't think Officer Chauvin did what I would do. I don't think he did what was right. But what he did, did it cause the death of George Floyd, is what everybody should be wrapping their mind around. And justice was quote unquote swift because the next day they all went to jail and got charged, or at least shortly after. So all of the outrage is bullcrap. And I'll tell you this, and I'll make a prediction that I really, I'm questioning whether or not Officer Chauvin will even be convicted. The other officers, guaranteed they won't be convicted, in my personal opinion.

And why do you say that? In other words, is it because now we know that George Floyd was high on two different drugs, and there were health issues involved, and that it wasn't what it looked like? Or why do you say that?

Well, there's a few things. Because George Floyd, you know, the knee on the neck, situation, even though it was ridiculous and I would have never done it. It looks, you know, I think the police officer shouldn't have done it. The police department trains that. So he was in protocol of the police department. The police department will be held liable for his actions taken because that's a trained use of force. So when you talk about malice, when you talk about intentionally doing something that's breaking the law, Chauvin was not breaking the law by using that tactic that was taught. He was also performing his duties as a field training officer, which he was teaching other officers those tactics and he was instructing instructing them to do according to the training in the academy. So it's gonna be an uphill battle for them to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin was the primary cause of George Floyd's death and not the fatal amounts of fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system.

Going on about? Why aren't I talking about the Great Reset? Yeah, what, you know, this globalist Destroy the economy, redo it, green new deal, action from Davos, that sort of stuff. That's what they want.

So this guy's upset because he doesn't want—

Well, but I talk about what the left is doing to everything. I mean, it's just the text of everything. Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. I'd like to remind you that we will be headed to Israel in October, and the Stand with Israel banner is up at DennisPrager.com. Took hundreds of you 2 years ago, and that's the plan this year. So go to DennisPrager.com and click on the Stand with Israel banner. So continuing with the subject of the great lie about anti-Asian hate, which is implied to be American and white, correct? Otherwise it's not terribly meaningless. So here's a New York Daily News, it's on the left headline yesterday, man in critical critical condition after unprovoked punch on Manhattan subway. Latest victim of anti-Asian hate. Well, they have a video of the guy who did it, and they captured him, and he happens to be Black. So how is that an example of anti-Asian hate that is assumed to be part of the white list of hatreds of other groups? From what I have seen, the majority of assaults on Asian Americans have come from Black Americans. Is that reported in any of your newspapers? Does CNN report that? Just the latest attack on Asian Americans. But if it's largely Black Americans doing it, then it's a Black problem specifically. Correct or not correct? But facts and leftism never coincide. We're all built on lies. This is the latest lie. So I'm reading to you from this winner of the National Book Award, a Chinese-American writer. And it talks about his parents and his grandparents and his wife's grandparents, how much they assimilated into America. I think about the stories they've shared with me, what they've seen and lived through in this country. Recessions and booms, wars and social movements and protests, and technological revolutions. Presidents from Truman to Biden. I think about the soccer practices they've driven to, the money they've saved, the taxes paid, the elections they voted in, the stresses and sleepless nights, the indignities small and large endured, the pride and joy felt in what they've accomplished. The neighbors and co-workers befriended and helped and leaned on, the communities they belong to, what it took for them to raise families and build lives here. And then I think about this: 3,795 incidents reported from March 19th, 2020 through February 28th. Wow, 3,795 lives disrupted, devalued, or even destroyed. 3,795 incidents. If somebody said something ugly, and I have no countenance for it. I have no acceptance of anything like that. Take a look at how many anti-Semitic incidents there were in the US in the same period. Incidents covers a lot, you know. And do we know that every incident was a race-based incident? Do we know that Half were?

A quarter?

A tenth? Do you know how many of the incidents were not done by, in terms of certainly violence, was not done by a white? Do you know that as of now there is zero reason to believe that the Asian massage parlors were attacked because they're Asian? Did you know that? The guy was a crackpot fanatic. Weirdo with a sex addiction. It's gone— had gone into sex addict rehab, and in his, in his crazed mind believed that if he killed people involved in anything sexual, he could sort of get rid of that demon. That's why it happened. Do you remember? I'll give you an example of how much the press lies. What was the name of that? Was it The Pulse? What was the name of the nightclub that was called gay and a massive massacre took place? It was called Pulse. And where was it? Orlando? And everybody reported, eh, this was a classic case of homophobia. It was a gay place and the guy shot people to death out of homophobia. Actually turns out that it had nothing to do with it being gay. It was an act of Islamic terror, it turned out to be. And remember the gay guy in— the gay man, I should say, in Wyoming who was left to die tied to a fence in his terrible death? And it was blamed on homophobia in America. It turned out that he was, he was killed by— was it another gay that it turned out to be? Or I believe in, in some drug deal. This was reported in a lengthy book. I had the author on who was gay. It had nothing to do with homophobia. It's a world of Jussie Smollett's, basically. That's what it is, fed by the lying media. The lying media is a redundant term. They just lie. The headline in the Daily News is an implicit lie. So back to our author Charles Yu. These attacks are telling a different story. They're perpetuating the idea that Americans can only look a certain way, sound a certain way. Who says that? Who gives a damn if you're an Asian American? Who gives a damn? People don't even, don't even mention it. It doesn't, it doesn't register. We don't care. Do you know the vast majority of Americans don't care? Which is the way it should be. Yes, that's a good point. Yeah, you know what the stereotype about Asian Americans is? They work really hard. That's right. 1/8 Prager 776.

This is Jerry Boyer of Town Hall Finance for TownHall.com. The Congressional Budget Office just released its new debt figures. The national debt this year will top 102% of GDP. This has only happened twice before. Both during World War II. This number does not count the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, nor does it count the money which was borrowed from Social Security, since that's considered intergovernmental debt. Debt levels this high break the intergenerational covenant that we have with our children and grandchildren. FDR borrowed to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan—money well spent. Reagan borrowed to defeat the Soviet Union. That was also money well spent. These great projects made the world better for future generations. But our political class is not buying victories against international threats. They are buying political victories for incumbents. This is nothing more than fiscal abuse, and our kids will pay the price. It needs to stop now. I'm Jerry Boyer.

They don't think that America has the qualification to speak to China from a position of strength. Cut 91.

[Speaker:WANG YINGJI] Well, I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China, it was necessary that we make our position clear. So let me say here that in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.

You understand what they're saying here? They're saying that, oh, the United States doesn't have a position of strength. You mean after you destroyed our manufacturing base, debased our currency, spied on our cyber grid, they're lecturing us about strength? In one sense, they're right. But the fact that they have the cockiness to say that goes to show exactly where the international order is headed. And I'm going to tell you one thing that we should all be talking about when it comes to Joe Biden and China that we just seem to be forgetting and missing.

I am a teacher in an elementary school, and a lot of our professional development is on racism because our school is, um, very diverse, um, in that population. And one of the, um, professional development we had was on diverse books and the lack of diverse books. So basically, the statistics they gave us was that— this is from 2018— that 50% of all children's books that are published are based on characters who are white. So 50% white. 27% are animals or other, you know, things besides people. 10% is based on Blacks. 7% on Asian Pacific or Asian people. 5% on Latinos. And then 1% on American Indians. And how this is an example of systemic racism, and it's very hard to find diverse books.

First, my first thought, Mary, is who sat around and added them all up like that? I mean, that's just amazing to me.

That's Hi everybody. I will continue with the Asian American hysteria or the hysteria over Asian American hatred. Let's put it that more precisely later. Right now I have Ryan Anderson on. Ryan Anderson is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and been in the news a lot. He is the author of When Harry Became Sally, responding to the transgender movement, or the transgender moment, actually. And, uh, Ryan Anderson, welcome to The Dennis Prager Show. Thanks for having me.

It's a pleasure to be with you. Where are you speaking from? I'm in Lockett, Virginia, about 60 miles northwest of D.C.

What is the thesis of When Harry Became Sally?

Uh, in a catchphrase, it's that biology is not bigotry, and that rather than attempting to do what is impossible, you know, transform bodies to align them with misguided thoughts and feelings, we should try to do what is possible which is to help people embrace reality, including the reality of their own bodies, that it's not loving, it's not compassionate to put a child on puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones, or to perform a double mastectomy on a teenage girl. And all of that is now happening in our country under the name of civil rights. Um, and that conservatives need to have the courage to speak out against this.

What's happened to your book?

So, you know, it was first published in 2018, and, you know, it sold tens of thousands of copies, and Amazon sold tens of those thousands of copies. And then 3 weeks ago, Amazon disappeared the book on a Sunday afternoon. Someone was trying to buy it, reached out to me to say, hey, I can't find it. And I just assumed it was a technical glitch. I pull out my Amazon app, the hardcover is gone, the paperback is gone, the Kindle edition is gone, the Audible book is gone. Even used copies. They won't even allow third parties to sell used copies. Um, and they're doing this, uh, this took place this Sunday afternoon before a major vote in Congress on a transgender bill that my book is critical of and that I have spoken out against, um, in the past few weeks. And Amazon sells something like 70% of all new adult nonfiction books, 80% of all ebooks. This is them using outside market share to try to shut down the date.

Did you contact Amazon?

We did, uh, because their own content policy says that before they remove a title, they will reach out to publishers and authors to try to explain the decision and try to work something out ahead of time. They never reached out to us. We reached out to them immediately trying to figure out— like, we thought maybe it was a technical glitch. And then they got back to us saying that the book violates their content policy. But they wouldn't tell us what aspect of the content policy the book violates. They wouldn't tell us what page of the book commits the violation. They wouldn't tell us why after 3 years of not violating the policy, it only now violates the policy. We all have our suspicions that Trump was no longer president, Barr was no longer the Attorney General, Senator Hawley was no longer a member of the majority party. There wouldn't be consequences, they thought, at least at the federal level. And there was a big vote coming up in the House of Representatives. 4 senators sent them a letter asking for an actual explanation, and all they will say is that the book violates their policy because, quote, they don't sell books that, quote, frame LGBTQ identities as mental illnesses, end quote. And my book does nothing of the sort. Right. And so they've now added libel to the list and defamation to the list of, you know, potential legal problems that they are in for, you know, for listing the book.

I inferred from your earlier take that you do regard gender dysphoria as an abnormal condition.

Well, I definitely think it's a condition. The analogy that I use in the book is that it's similar to anorexia. And so no one would prescribe liposuction to a high school girl with anorexia, but we also wouldn't say that that high school girl is mentally ill. It's not the way that we talk about these issues. So Amazon is intentionally misdescribing the book to make it seem like I take an uncharitable rhetorical approach, make it seem like I'm trying to denigrate and stigmatize people, as their excuse for delisting the book, right? So they're actually, you know, adding insult to injury here by trying to like defame me, to try to harm my professional reputation. Because what the book does, it talks about this issue in a civil and compassionate way, the way that you would talk about, you know, someone who's struggling with anorexia, right? You wouldn't say that girl's mentally ill, but you would also say she doesn't need liposuction, right? What she needs is counseling. What she needs is help to feel comfortable in her body, and there's not a problem with her body.

It's a very good analogy. I, I, I, I like that. We'll be back in a moment. Ryan Anderson's book removed from Amazon after 3 years. The book is When Harry Became Sally. The product is Relief Factor at relieffactor.com. The number of Americans who have some sort of either recurring or chronic pain in their joints or in their muscles is humongous. And Pete and Seth Talbot, father and son, developed this with doctors, and I strongly ask you to try it out because they have a very interesting statement: if it doesn't work in 3 weeks, it probably won't work. So you have a 3-week tryout for $19.95 plus shipping at relieffactor.com, which I took this morning. 800-500-8384.

Listen, I fight hard for what I believe in every day, but I also try to understand where somebody who disagrees with my ideology or my politics, where they're coming from. And so in a way, maybe, maybe you do the same thing and it kind of keeps us sort of out of the hot seat where we're not just trying to, to lob, you know, hand grenades to the other side, but we're trying to have a reasonable dialogue. Yeah, I don't want any vitriol in my life.

I work very hard to avoid it. One of the things I, of course, I talk about my dog a lot, Jasper. I have actually utilized my love for dogs to form relationships with people that I might disagree with politically. And that's been very gratifying, actually. I have a rule, no politics at the dog park. And also I've found the other thing is that if you ask questions, right? I ask a lot of questions. I'm curious. I love learning. I know you do too. This is why you do this job. You love meeting people and learning the issues. And I've also started listening to more podcasts. I'm thrilled that you're going to be doing a podcast. I will subscribe. I hope you find some. Thank you. Thank you. And in the book, I list several podcasts for young people. To keep learning. Yeah. So that they can grow. And there's a lot of ambition and talent and educated people in America. They want to succeed, but they got to work a little hard to get it.

This isn't, as some have portrayed it, as some kind of spontaneous, random, organic response to Joe Biden being president. This is being institutionally organized for the profit of the cartels, correct?

Absolutely.

And the cartels understand what our politics and our policies are better than we do as Americans. And they knew where Joe Biden was leaning and his administration, and they were more than willing and more than ready to help accommodate those people to come across this country. Look, they don't just let people come across on the other side. The cartel is regulated. They make these people pay. They give them children to, hey, hey, here, take this kid across with you. They're less likely to stop you.

So this is something that I want everybody to understand. I heard this from my friend, former Commissioner for Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan. They are using children from the northern counties in Mexico as props so that groups of adults coming across can say, we are a family unit, so the feds have to treat them differently. Are you confirming that, Sheriff Lamb? Yes, 100%.

And out in Collin County, Texas, at one of my, uh, one of my other I'm Dennis Prager.

I'm speaking to and with Ryan Anderson, and he's president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, among other achievements. His book is When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment. It's taken off a few weeks ago, simply removed after 3 years, removed by Amazon. No reason given other than—

what was their wording again, Ryan? They falsely claimed that they— that the book frames LGBTQ identities as mental illnesses.

Are there any books out there that claim that Trump's Trump support was a mental illness?

I'm sure there must be Trump Derangement Syndrome. No, no, that's our claim. Right, right. People who hate Trump.

By the way, I wonder if anybody who says Trump Derangement Syndrome could not have his book sold. That's claimed to be a mental problem or mental illness even. I mean, what about all of the psychiatrists who said that he was mentally ill and unfit to to be president? Are their books allowed on Amazon? The answer, of course, to all of this is yes. So I'll ask you two questions. Why do you think this is the third rail now, the transgender issue, which is a very large question? And the other is, why did they allow Abigail Shrier's book on the subject to remain on Amazon?

Those are great questions. Um, on the latter, I have no idea because, you know, I think Abigail's book is outstanding. It's, it's excellent. It doesn't pull its punches. You know, I encourage all of our listeners, um, to go out and buy it. You can't buy it from Target though. You know, Target, uh, removed Abigail's book, put it back for a little bit, and I believe just removed it again a couple weeks ago. Um, and so I don't know. I mean, this would suggest that there's arbitrariness to Amazon's standards. I mean, that's what you were getting at with your question of, you know, are they going to be doing this to anyone who discusses, you know, mental illness, blah, blah, blah. It just seems like they're being arbitrary. They're being selective. They're doing this in a targeted way to try to take someone down. You know, I now run a think tank that was probably the most prominent organization in DC opposing the Equality Act last week. You know, the two people who testified against it, it was Abigail Shrier, who was one of our fellows, at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, for all sorts of reasons why they might be going after the book. To your first question though, and I think that's really the crucial question here, I think to a certain extent some of the transgender issues actually, they realize how weak their claims are, that they can't win in an open, fair debate, that ordinary Americans would see through the emperor has no clothes. On these issues. Um, and so they have to shut down the debate, right? So actually, I don't think it's a sign of, you know, them being secure in their position. I actually think it's a, it's a way that they're admitting some insecurity, uh, that they don't think they can win if all the facts get out. And so they're trying to, you know, prematurely censor the debate from even happening.

I think it's a very good answer. Of all their positions, that might be the most self-consciously weak. That men give birth is not easy for even a leftist to say with a straight face.

That's right. And that high school boys should be winning girls' athletic competitions. I mean, these track athletes who have lost, you know, These two high school boys who keep coming in first and second place in all the Connecticut state track championships. Joe the plumber sees that, knows it's wrong. And you don't need to be politically conservative, you don't need to be religiously devout to say that something's not fair when obvious biological males are competing against girls and wiping the floor with them. I mean, there's an unfair advantage there. And so I think they just, they, They want to ignore it, right? Censor it. Quiet. Stop, stop raising an issue about this. Where is your book available? Uh, the best place to get it is going to be direct from the publisher because the publisher has a backbone. They're not going to cancel me. They're not embarrassed about this. It's Roger Kimball and Encounter Books. And you probably had tons of guests from Encounter Books over the years because they publish a lot of really good books. And so I would say go to encounteredbooks.com and then look at what else they carry, because you're probably going to find 3 or 4 additional titles that you might want to read.

Is it also— is it still available on Barnes Noble? It is.

So I think Barnes Noble sees this as a market opportunity, you know, with Amazon canceling the book. So far they have refused to cancel it. They are out of stock though, and so Unfortunately, what ended up happening was there was the Streisand effect. As Amazon canceled it, more people wanted to go out and get it. Walmart also sold out, and then they started canceling people's orders, right? So it may actually end up hurting me with book sales because people who went out to buy the book are now getting their orders canceled from Walmart. That just strikes me as a bad business practice.

I asked you why you think that there is such an uproar over this issue in particular, and you mentioned, and I think it's a very intelligent response, they in their hearts know it doesn't make sense, that it's not fair to girls to have biological boys compete against them. They know that. They have to suppress it. I think so. I agree. So here's— so I'm asking an additional question. Why do you think they've even taken this position? Oh, ideology.

I think most politicians who were in favor of gay marriage didn't think twice about what the T in LGBT even stood for. And you know, now you have Joe Biden saying that, you know, transgender rights are the human rights issue of our time and we can't compromise over them. I doubt if you were to sit down with him, you know, privately, confidentially over dinner and say, Joe, tell me about, you know, what is a transgender right? Like, what is this? I doubt he fully knows what it means for medicine, puberty blocking drugs.

I just got an email about someone who says they have to take mandated racial diversity seminar training or whatever it is. And all I have to say is that there is a piece of art, and I don't use that word lightly, that is so perfect, so funny, so politically incorrect, that hits this perfectly. It's from the legendary show The Office. Now, The Office started as an unbelievably politically incorrect show, and then it got into this kind of like quasi-woke thing later on. But the episode Diversity Day with Steve Carell, it's so politically incorrect, especially in today's time. I'm just going to tell you something right now. If I dared repeat some of the lines here, it wouldn't even be an advertiser boycott. It would be an advertiser invasion. One of my favorite lines is Steve Carell looks into the— actually, this might be the pilot episode. You see, I am— I'm not an expert in a lot of things, but I am an expert in the central canon of the first season of The Office, because it all went downhill from there. I watched the later— the first season of The Office is so well written, as if they don't care about— they just said, we are going to swing for the fences. Bottom of the 9th, we want this show to catch on that they just took huge risks. Steve Carell famously said, as Abraham Lincoln said, if you are a racist, I will attack you from the north. I highly encourage you to check it out because we need to laugh about this stuff a little bit because people are emailing me, Charlie, what do I do about this diversity seminar? If you think you have it bad, check out Michael Scott who had to take The Diversity Class Seminar.

Listen, I fight hard for what I believe in every day, but I also try to understand where somebody who disagrees with my ideology or my politics, where they're coming from. And So in a way, maybe, maybe you do the same thing and it kind of keeps us sort of out of the hot seat where we're not just trying to, to lob, you know, hand grenades to the other side, but we're trying to have a reasonable dialogue.

Yeah, I don't want any vitriol in my life. I work very hard to avoid it. One of the things I— of course, I talk about my dog a lot, Jasper. I have actually utilize my love for dogs to form relationships with people that I might disagree with politically. And that's been very gratifying, actually. And I have a rule: no politics at the dog park. And also, I found the other thing is that if you ask questions Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager, and apropos of the last call, father arrested.

It's a New York Post piece. This is from Canada. Canada's actually worse than the United States. All the English-speaking countries are the worst in the world, in the Western world. I am not entirely certain why. I heard an interesting thesis that a greater proportion of people in English-speaking countries went to college and therefore became haters intolerant, and stupid. I mean that literally. I don't— I never exaggerate. You may think I'm wrong, but I'm not exaggerating in my perception of what college does to most people. Now, high school does it, and so does elementary school. A Canadian man was arrested this week, New York Post, after violating a court order that banned him from speaking publicly about his son's gender transition. The man whose identity is reportedly under a publication ban by a British Columbia Court of Appeals to protect his child was found in contempt of court and arrested Tuesday for calling the teen his daughter and publicly referring to him with the pronouns she and her, according to the Postmillennial. Canadian site, that is arrested for calling his daughter, who was transitioning to male, she. I told you, because the left is a cult, the first thing it goes after is parental authority. All cults do that. That's why in my explaining the Ten Commandments in my Bible commentary, The Rational Bible, I explain the incredible significance to the commandment, the Fifth Commandment: honor your father and mother. Parental authority is sacred. Can it be abused? All authority could be abused. But I, I trust more in parents than I do in government. Governments make genocides, not parents. The teenager was born as a female and reportedly identifies as transgender and prefers the use of male pronouns. The father reportedly began litigation against the teen's mother after learning of the transition. More on that, more on the Asian American hysteria, that is the hysteria about Asian Americans, not that Asian Americans are hysterical. The left is hysterical and some Asian Americans are buying it, tragically. I'm Dennis Prager. This is fundraising month for PragerU. Please help us out at prageru.com.

The situation on the ground is certainly challenging, in part because we inherited a dismantled system that wasn't prepared for processing asylum requests that had left in place, the Remain in Mexico program. Where—

what do you make of Jen Psaki's it's all Trump's fault explanation?

Well, I hear a lot of blah, blah, blah. This is Biden's border crisis. It truly is. And whether President Biden is willing to say it or not, or Jen Psaki says it or not, it is a crisis. And with 23 years in the military and of course my service now on the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee. I, I see this not only as a humanitarian crisis, but it's also a growing threat to our national security. They have got to open their eyes. They've got to acknowledge this is not just a challenge. It is not just a big problem. It is a certified crisis.

Now, do you think they will do what is necessary, or is open borders the de facto policy of Team Biden?

I think it will end up being the de facto policy. And again, there's a lot of blah blah blah right now, but the extreme push from the left is to simply open our borders. And I heard her, you know, in their clip saying, oh, you know, we want these children to be safe, we want them treated humanely. The humanitarian thing to do is not to have their parents hand them over to drug cartels and human traffickers and parade them through very dangerous dangerous situations. It's to protect them in their homes.

This is Jerry Boyer of Townhall Finance for townhall.com. The Congressional Budget Office just released its new debt figures. The national debt this year will top 102% of GDP. This has only happened twice before, both during World War II. This number does not count the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, nor does it count the money which was borrowed from Social Security, since that's considered intergovernmental debt. Debt levels this high break the intergenerational covenant that we have with our children and grandchildren. FDR borrowed to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan. Money well spent. Reagan borrowed to defeat the Soviet Union. That was also money well spent. These great projects made the world better for future generations. But our political class is not buying victories against international threats. They are buying political victories for incumbents. This is nothing more than fiscal abuse, and our kids will pay the price. It needs to stop now. I'm Jerry Boyer.

They don't think that America has the qualification to speak to China from a position of strength. Cut 91.

Well, I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the US side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China, it was necessary that we make our position clear. So let me say here that in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.

You understand what they're saying here? They're saying that, oh, the United States doesn't have a position of strength. You mean after you destroyed our manufacturing base, debased our currency, spied on our cyber grid? They're lecturing us about strength. In one sense, they're right. But the fact that they have the cockiness to say that goes to show exactly where the international order is headed. And I'm going to tell you one thing that we should all be talking about when it comes to Joe Biden and China. That we just seem to be forgetting and missing.

I am a teacher in an elementary school, and a lot of our professional development is on Yes, indeed, another spring with Hans Zimmer theme from The Gladiator.

Periodically, about every other season, I call out his name, thank him for supplying the theme which we adopted after 9/11. Is that correct?

Yeah, sorry, just for the record, there's no 'the' in front of Gladiator.

I said 'the' and Gladiator? I didn't say the Gladiator theme. Oh, I know that Gladiator doesn't have a 'the.' I'd like to hear that again. I, I, I, I, I— it's an odd boo-boo. I would like to thank him. He's a great composer of film music. And I have sort of ruined the movie for many people who listen to this show. This dramatic scene of the gladiators coming out and then you hear the Dennis Prager Show theme doesn't quite meet the moment. You know what we should do? I'll tell you what we should do. We should stage a gladiator scene with me. And on second thought, not a great idea. On occasion I thought, gee, how would I do as a gladiator? And I pretty much have concluded that I would have been dead the first time. That's, that's my hunch. I'm sort of not cut out to fight to the death in that way. No, they— you're betting on the lion. You know, it's a snooty comment. Okay, you're betting on the lion. That was with Christians, and that's not funny. It's a horrible, horrible thing. But no, the gladiators were against other humans, to the best of my knowledge. By the way, for those of you who believe people are basically good, How do you account for the gladiator fights where Romans would gather and have their popcorn and then, you know, and their Coke and enjoy people slashing each other to death? Were they freaks? Were they aberrations? You know who the aberrations were? The people who opposed it. And you know who they were? Jews and Christians. That's right. Do you know that there is a law in Jewish law, ancient Jewish law, which holds the Sabbath extremely holy? It's the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, with the possible exception of Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement. It's the only one of the Ten Commandments. And yet the ancient rabbis ruled that a Jew could go to the gladiator game on the Sabbath to vote to save the life. You know, they would do thumbs up or thumbs down and try to influence Caesar or his representative. Jews and Christians. Christians, of course, were targets of the sadism. To believe that human nature is good is an act of such colossal ignorance. It's willful ignorance, and it is a very big dividing line between left and right, because if you acknowledge that human nature is not basically good, then you know what you have to do is work hard to make people good. So Jews and Christians in their educational system teach kids to fight their natures, and our secular schools, private and public, teach kids to fight America. Get it? Which do you think will produce a finer human being on the whole? I'm Dennis Prager, and we're living through another hysteria. They don't run out of them. You know, my book— let me mention this, because I mention it very rarely— Still the Best Hope. You want to understand the left and you want to understand America, please read Still the Best Hope. A student at Harvard got in touch with me, said that that book changed her life. It's more, it's more necessary than ever, that book. You know what, for the first time I'm actually at peace with the title. It is, it is still the best hope of the United States, but now it's being threatened. All the unique moral ideals of the American idea. I couldn't put it better to you, summarize it better than with Thomas Friedman, one of the unimpressive columnists at the New York Times, but who thinks extremely well of himself and is extremely well regarded on the left. So So alienated from the American ideal he is that he actually wrote a column that we should re-translate or rename E Pluribus Unum, from many, one, one of the mottos of the United States, to from many, many. Isn't that beautiful? And his readers are proud of him. That we're in a civil war. I've said this for decades, as you know. Now you believe me. Said the lockdown was the greatest mistake in history. Now you believe me. And I made clear it was not the greatest evil. I said it was the greatest mistake. I was a piece— just saw it now in the New York Times. See if I can find it here. There's a rule. If you look for a piece, it's— here it is. Look at this. The business section of Friday's New York Times. Full minds, empty stomachs. In France and across Europe, more students are facing food insecurity as the pandemic enters enters its second year, and job cuts in their families take an ever-widening toll. Because everybody bought it. They all bought it except Sweden. Sweden, under severe pressure, I think buckled more recently. I haven't followed it as much as I did before. Yeah, lockdown. People who are unbelievably unlikely to die from it like young people. Lock them down, deprive them of school, deprive them of their parents' jobs, deprive them of an income, deprive them of a life for safety's sake. There was an article, I'll read it to you, I'll read you excerpts from it. Where was the article? The LA Times? Yes, Doyle McManus. That's right. He's been writing for the LA Times since 1837. And the article was about how Republican men are the least likely to get vaccinated and how it shows how selfish they are because they'll kill everybody. I have a question about the vaccine. If it works, what the hell do you care if I get vaccinated? Isn't the whole point of a vaccine to prevent you getting the virus? Tell me something, if you ever got a flu shot— and I've gotten many— did you care if the next guy got flu? Other than caring for your fellow human being? Did you care about it for you? No. I got a flu shot. You have the flu? Take care of yourself. But I'm not going to get it. It's the first time there's a vaccine and you may get it. Really? So there's something fraudulent here, isn't there? You don't have to know science. You have to think clearly. If you're vaccinated, why do you care if I'm vaccinated? Please, I know that some of you have an answer for yourselves, so share with me your answer. Why do you care if I get vaccinated as long as you have? 1-8-PRAGER-776. Has another doozy. Why are people told to wear masks after being vaccinated? To prevent you from getting the virus? Oh, or is it to prevent you from giving the virus? That's the one I heard. You really don't have it, but you have a little bit, and you might— the little bit that you have that isn't infected you might infect the next guy. This is clearly the, the worst vaccine. If these things are true, it is the least effective vaccine in the history of vaccines.

But our political class Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. He's rooting for the Lions. Those were the last words prior to my coming back on. Hey, there's a movie I want to tell you about from executive director and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell. A hilarious new faith-based comedy, Church People, starring Thor Ramsey, Stephen Baldwin, Donald Falsen— Faison, I'm sorry. And Joe— sorry, Faison, thank you. And Joey Fatone, with special guest appearance from Mike himself. Church People is a hilarious and heartwarming reminder that the gospel is enough. It all starts when America's youth pastor Guy Sides realizes he's stuck in the megachurch marketing machine and wants to find his passion again. Anyway, it's a— I haven't seen it yet, but I hear it's terrific and that these are the type of film people need. Church People will leave you laughing out loud while also reminding you of the true meaning of the gospel. You can stream Church People starting March 22nd at SalemNow.com. All right, cool. Is today March 22nd? Yes. How do you like that? You can start today. SalemNow.com. I'm DP, Double Play, Department of Police, uh, displaced person, Dennis Prager. What else is there? A few other— I figured out in the course of my life, DPs, but those are the ones I remember. Yes, I was— so there's too much. Last hour I devoted to the Asian American issue. It is all a lie, just a gigantic lie of this onslaught of anti-Asian racism in America. New York Daily News has an article about a guy just, uh, just this weekend. Yeah, I gotta find that one actually, that now that I think of it, that would be great. Oh God, here, here's the New Yorker. I'll tell you about the New Yorker. The Atlanta shooting and the dehumanizing of Asian women. But they weren't killed because they were Asian. They were killed because the guy had a sex problem and he was a crackpot. New York Daily News article. What's the date on this? March 21st, yesterday. Listen carefully. Man— this is the headline— man in critical condition after unprovoked punch on Manhattan subway, latest victim of anti-Asian hate. But guess what? The unprovoked punch came from a Black guy. It's never mentioned in the article. It's— there's a picture of the guy in the article. So if you read the headline, everybody assumes all whatever anti-Asian hate there is, it's disproportionately from Blacks. That's a fact, not an attack, not a critique. The lying New York Times, the lying CNN, they lie and they lie and they lie again, and they manufacture hysteria because if Americans get along, the left dies. Get it? They provoke hate. The left is a hate machine. Get that clear? That's what it is. It's a hate machine. So they manufacture hatred. They manufacture victimization to perpetuate what they manufacture. And let's see, then I have raised this issue about vaccines. Clearly, if you take Fauci and the others seriously, it's the least effective vaccine ever developed in history. You have to wear a mask after you take it, and you're not immune to the next guy who didn't take it. Why do you care if anybody else took it if the vaccine works? Did you care if other people took a flu shot or a smallpox shot? You're going to get smallpox if you— what's the point of a smallpox vaccine? It's to protect you from smallpox. I took a yellow fever shot about 4 times in my life, every 10 years you're supposed to take it if you go to a place like Africa. Why? Because you don't get the disease. That's the point of a vaccine. We live in a world of lies, including the corrupted medical establishment, which I wrote about. You should all read it. I should put it up again. There's a good one. Natasha Mansfield, Texas. Hello, Natasha.

Hi.

Hi, your turn.

Oh, okay. So first of all, I love your show. Great. I've never talked on the radio ever, and your Gladiator song that you play, The Battle, I love that soundtrack so much that I had them play that in the background while I was giving birth to my son. So every time I hear that, when you play that, I think about him.

I think you're going to do that to a lot of people now. A lot of us are going to think of Natasha in Texas giving birth when we hear that theme.

I just finally had enough courage to call and tell you that.

I love it. I really do. I want you to know what the Living Martyr just told me. He, he has bestowed a blessing upon you. May your son turn out like Maximus.

That would be incredible if he had that much. I don't— I'm a loss for words. That's strength, I guess.

Yeah, you know what, I, I needed your call. I think that's beautiful. I really do. She played the Gladiator while giving birth. That is so nice. Now let me think, if I gave birth which I'm now capable of doing, according to the left, if I gave birth, what music— most women don't give birth to a musical theme, but it's an interesting thought to do that. I would, what would I choose? I guess I would choose Bach's Goldberg Variations. I'm not sure that the hospital would have that in its repertoire. Okay, that was cool. All right, everybody. Hank in Elk River, Minnesota. Hello. Hello, how are you doing, Dennis? So if you gave birth, what music would you do it to?

Wow. Um, I, I was there for the birth of my 4 children, and, uh, I don't know. I— that was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced, every time, but very intensely, uh, like scary, because I, I don't know. I don't know what— okay, hold on.

It's going to be the new theme of people's lives. By the way, I'm assuming his wife gave birth to all 4. That may be considered today— I'm not joking— a bigoted assumption.

All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here. I talk about the great issues of life and the great issues of America. And I have a lot of solutions, by the way, a lot of them. Just so you'll know, I, half the time, I tell you what we can do. Like, in many cases, take your kids out of the school they're in. Or, if they stay there, or not, there's a program now, a huge program developed at PragerU called PREP, and PREP stands for Prager University Resources for Educators and Parents. We have a parent who is doing that who would like to remain anonymous, so we'll use just his first name, Jason. Hello, Jason.

Hi Dennis, how are you?

I think everybody, including moi, would love to know why you want to be anonymous.

It's sad, uh, really, but you never know, and we see it all the time, what the repercussions are going to be for speaking out against what's going on. And I, I'm not so concerned about myself, but for my son. And, um, it really is a sad statement of where we are as a society.

It certainly is. I totally understand what you're, what you're doing. I assumed that was the answer, I assume, and that's fine as well. Would you rather not say what city you're in?

I'm here in Orange County, South Orange County, uh, in California. Okay. Yes.

Yeah. So right now, how many children do you have? Just one.

How old is he? He's 14.

And is he out of school now?

He's still in school at the public school system, which a year ago at this time we were so happy with because the school was great. He was seen as a leader on campus. He was very involved in extracurricular activities. Fast forward a year and we were counting down the days to end this school year and we'll be most likely homeschooling next year. What happened in the last year? It, you know, it's just been the environment that we've seen. And when we've seen it in the media over the past year, and I even, I had a Zoom call with the principal because there was a particular event in one of his classes where the teacher would point out somebody, single out somebody every day, and just say, "You matter. I am glad you are here. We appreciate you are here. You matter." And then this teacher said, "Also, Black lives matter." And another student, not my son, but another student piped up and said, "All lives matter." Black Lives Matter. And the teacher said, "Well, I do not want to hear that in my classroom. I, you know, we are focused on Black Lives Matter." And for the teacher to say something like that so openly when in the beginning of the year they said they want to make this an inclusive environment, and now they are essentially singling people out and saying that we are not going to include that viewpoint, was really frustrating. But, you know, kind of back to what we have seen over this past year, all of this, this critical race theory that has been pushed. I had a conversation with the principal over that particular incident, and he in no uncertain terms said that this is the policy that we have adopted as a school district. This is the route we are going to go, pushing these narratives. And and, you know, I'm sorry if it conflicts with what you believe. And it's really— I understand the idea and the thought of being inclusive and wanting, you know, everybody to feel good, but it's just not reality. And so when they're trying to focus on, you know, helping a certain group of people, they're ostracizing others. And my, my son for the past 4 or 5 months, most of the school year really, really has felt like he just doesn't belong there anymore. And he doesn't, he's not as involved in the extracurricular activities. He's not taking the leadership role, um, that he once took. And it's really, they've taken—

so if people in, in the school, other parents found out you were on my show and said these things, what would happen, you feel, to your son? That, you know, I really, I don't know.

And that's, that's what's concerning is, and I don't want to take that risk. And that's what, you know, I've been grateful for what you've done, um, you know, not just with PragerU but with PrEP, so that we can kind of connect with others, uh, in our school district.

Huge benefit. All right, I'm going to come back. So this is a parent remaining anonymous, and he'll explain better than even I what this PrEP program is doing. Ladies and gentlemen, I called up a company, which I very have rarely done, asking them would they be interested in advertising on my show. Those of you who have tingling, pins and needles type feelings in your hands or feet know what I'm talking about. I had them in my feet a good part of my life. It's simply, uh, part of my genetic makeup. And I got relief finally with special inserts in my shoes. I read about Nerve Renew and I figured I'll give it a try. I threw away my inserts after a year, and I suggest that you do it too. They have a 1-year money-back guarantee and a 2-week free trial. NerveRenew.com.

This is Jerry Boyer of Town Hall Finance for TownHall.com. The Congressional Budget Office just released its new debt figures. The national debt this year will top 102% of GDP. This has only happened twice before, both during World War II. This number does not count the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, nor does it count the money which was borrowed from Social Security, since that's considered intergovernmental debt. Debt levels this high break the intergenerational covenant that we have with our children and grandchildren. FDR borrowed to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan. Money well spent. Reagan borrowed to defeat the Soviet Union. That was also money well spent. These great projects made the world better for future generations. But our political class is not buying victories against international threats. They are buying political victories for incumbents. This is nothing more than fiscal abuse, and our kids will pay the price. It needs to stop now. I'm Jerry Boyer.

They don't think that America has the qualification to speak to China from a position of strength. Cut 91.

Well, I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China, it was necessary that we make our position So let me say here that in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.

You understand what they're saying here? They're saying that, oh, the United States doesn't have a position of strength. You mean after you destroyed our manufacturing base, debased our currency, spied on our cyber grid? They're lecturing us about strength. In one sense, they're right. But the fact that they have the cockiness to say that goes to show exactly where the international order is headed. And I'm going to tell you one thing that we should all be talking about when it comes to Joe Biden and China. That we just seem to be forgetting and missing.

Ayn Rand is one of the most famous novelists and philosophers Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. I have a parent on in Orange County, California. And he has a 14-year-old son, and he's seen what's happened to his school just in this last year. And he's anonymous, the parent. We only know him as Jason. And seeing what's happened with critical race theory and the perversion of every word that we take seriously, like equality and freedom, you, you name it. It's just, they've just been distorted. So he might be taking his son out of that school, but in the meantime, he joined PREP. That's PragerU Resources for Educators and Parents. You, uh, you told me something that I didn't realize is it is a fantastic ancillary benefit to PrEP, and that is meeting kindred spirits. Has that already happened with you?

It has. We've met a couple of parents who are facing similar feelings with, with what their students are going through and what their students are telling them when they come home from school. You know, this is what we were talking about about today. You know, things that, you know, in science class, things that have nothing to do with science, rather than social justice, you know, just different things like that. And so it has been— it's comforting to know, okay, we're not the only ones out there feeling like this. We're not out of our minds for feeling like this. Other people, you know, feel like this as well. And I was thinking about this the other day, this really has been a perfect storm over the last year to quiet conservative voices because we're in California, some of the strictest lockdown regulations in the country. And so we don't gather as much as we used to. We're not at the schools and on campus as much as we used to be. And so it's harder to have those random conversations with people we connect with. This. Uh, so having a resource like Prep and being able to connect with other parents like this has been very valuable.

Well, it's great to hear. So when will you make your decision on what to do with your son?

You know, really, I think we've already— we've really made the decision to take him out. Um, right. We think we're— and we, we were tempted to do it early and, and just, you know, say, okay, we're just not going back, we're just going to homeschool from here on out. I think we're going to go ahead and finish out the year. Um, and then for sure next year he'll, he'll, he's going to, he wants, he wanted to repeat the 8th grade anyway, uh, for athletic reasons. But this has been a lost academic year, uh, you know, as far as the schools go.

So it makes sense just to do it again. So does he watch PragerU videos?

He does on a regular basis. Um, good.

Cause that's, that's, it is now, truly a world of education. There are nearly 500 of them.

Yeah. And well, and one of the things that my wife and I talked about was, you know, the debate we had early on was, let's get him out of this environment. It's, it's, you know, it's, it's ridiculous. It totally goes against what we— right— what we believe. But then the other thing, you know, the other thing that we thought about was, well, we have an opportunity to educate our son in what we believe and allow him to express it, you know, and maybe educate other people. And it's actually happened where in school a student has come up to him after class and saying, you know, well, this— you believe this and you're wrong. And so he'll cite a video or he'll cite an article he read, and he'll give statistics and data and say, you know, this is why I believe what I believe. Wow. And it kind of just stops the student in their tracks. And so it's been great.

Well, bless you. I'll tell you, when every day I have a guest on, whether it's usually a Prager Force student, sometimes a parent like this, and it does my heart good. All of this is free, folks. Is that correct, Alan? I want to make sure that I'm— to join— to— yes, to join Prep. A very small fee. There's a small fee. Okay, $25. So everything is free except this. This is $25, which is close to free. Yeah, no, obviously. Okay, just wanted— I just want everybody to know. So we need your help. That you can't just complain. You help, help the fighters. We're fighting. PragerU.com. This is fundraising month. PragerU.com or 833-PRAGER-U. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. That we've come to the point where if you believe in all these good things, the promise of America, equality before the law, we are granted by God with some inalienable rights. Ideally, everybody should just be an American in addition to any other cultural identity you want. We don't believe in racial identity or ethnic identity. That's the American experiment. Everything is being undone by the left, everything good. So we're fighting We're not the only ones, but in what we do, we're the biggest in the world. Last week I had a young woman from the Czech Republic who's in Prager Force on me. You know, she made an impact on me. The maturity of that young woman was breathtaking. She was so classy, to use a word that's no longer used. The left would never use that because it implies that class is good. Well, class is good in the sense of class being excellent, mature, deep, wise. That's correct. I want to tell you on a personal note, as it's almost shocking to me, to be honest, I have learned as much about life this past year as I have in the last 20, and I really thought I had learned a lot. Read my columns, The Good German and The Good American, to give you an example of what I've learned. Back in a moment.

I mean, we know that Media Research Center did polling and found out among people who voted for Joe Biden, something like 30% didn't know the Hunter Biden story. And those that heard about the Hunter Biden story said up to 17% of them would not have voted for Joe Biden if they had known. This we know for sure. This doesn't even— this isn't any kind of conspiracy theory. We know that journalists interfered with this election in a way that journalists have never interfered with an election in the United States before, by suppressing very pertinent information. And for your listeners and your viewers, you know, what is that pertinent information? And, you know, it's almost like a joke actually, Eric. And I think this film actually, funny enough, will be funny and awfully sad and tragic and has a terrible punch in it. But here's some of the details. Here's a guy with a drug problem, and you know, we're Irish, we exported alcoholism around the world, we're quite sympathetic to people with addiction issues. But here is a guy with a very serious addiction issue. He goes to the Navy, he gets a special dispensation to go to the Navy as an older guy. First day he's there, he's thrown out because he's got cocaine in his system. And his story, his excuse for that, is so ludicrous, it's worth telling. He says that he stopped off at a bar because he wanted a glass of water. He decided he needed a cigarette, went outside, didn't have a cigarette, and just randomly— because you know how this is— two South African guys offered him a cigarette laced with cocaine. Because you probably know, you live in New York, you see, Eric, you'd know how much these cocaine dealers are just handing out that cocaine for free to everyone.

They hand it out for free. That's, that's how I got addicted.

Hi Dennis, how are you doing? Well, thank you.

Me too, thank God. Um, I called with the comment about why, uh, they want white men to take the vaccine. There's a person by the name of Vernon Coleman that wrote an article, and I hope he's wrong, but then again, you never know. The vaccine, um, may compromise the immune system. You might be able to be, um, inoculated for COVID right now, but when it mutates, your immune system, with all that they're doing, may not be able to fight it. And those people may be the first guy that have taken the vaccine.

OK, I don't have such a dark theory. Thank God. Look, one could say that about any virus. It'll mutate. All the variants that have thus far developed have been effectively addressed by this vaccine. I just want therefore to repeat my points. If the vaccine is a vaccine, why do you care if another person is not vaccinated? Either it protects you or it doesn't protect you. It would be the first vaccine not to protect you. That means it's worthless. So when people say everybody should get vaccinated as a way of showing their concern for society, I don't know what they're talking about. Get vaccinated and you're protected. What do you care if I want to commit suicide and not get vaccinated? That's what you're believing, so that's very sad. But I don't quite understand The science behind your theory.

This isn't, as some have portrayed it, as some kind of spontaneous spontaneous, random, organic response to Joe Biden being president. This is being institutionally organized for the profit of the cartels, correct? Absolutely.

And the cartels understand what our politics and our policies are better than we do as Americans. And they knew where Joe Biden was leaning in his administration, and they were more than willing and more than ready to help accommodate those people to come across this country. Look, they don't just let people come across. On the other side, the cartel is regulated. They make these people pay. They give them children to, hey, hey, here, take this kid across with you. They're less likely to stop you.

So this is something that I want everybody to understand. I heard this from my friend, former Commissioner for Customs and Border Protection, Mark Morgan. They are using children from the northern counties in Mexico as props so that groups of adults coming across can say, we are a family unit, so the feds have to treat them differently.

Are you confirming that, Sheriff Lamb? Yes, 100%. And out in Collin County, Texas, at one of my, uh, one of my other fellow sheriffs out there, they do interdiction on the highways out there. He says no less than 3 to 5 times They have actually pulled cars over where the people in the front had no idea who the children in the back were, and the children in the back had no idea who the people in the front were. They know what our policies are. They're using that against us. They're using children, which is despicable. And honestly, where are these parents of these people?

I just get tired of people blaming racism for any time there's statistical differences along race and ethnicity. And, and you brought up the case in point about the NBA and NFL. We as Black people were overly represented in these areas, and yet we never hear, "Boo, that that's racist." But everywhere else, we scream racism. And I just wish that we would just go a little bit deeper in the analysis whenever we see these things. What is it in the culture? What is it in the way that we're bringing up our children in society that's promoting people to go into certain areas and occupations? Like that, I feel, would be much more useful in how rather than just saying, oh, racial inequity or racism. I'm saying this as a Black woman. I attended Ivy League schools and I always felt in the back of my mind, are you judging me because you think I'm here and I didn't deserve it? Whenever we do that and we eliminate merit-based systems, it always makes those of us who are trying to work hard feel like people are judging us as if we didn't work hard to get here.

Well, thank you, Larry. Bonnie, thank you very much. I really do appreciate it. I went to an Ivy League school too. Uh, my girlfriend was a dancer. She tried out to be a cheerleader and she didn't make it. Uh, and I went to a game, I think one game, and all the cheerleaders were Black even though virtually all the players were white. Uh, merit-based, these white girls, she told me, just couldn't do the steps they were doing. But nobody complained. Nobody said we got to have a race-based determination for cheerleaders. We have more white ones.

What do you make of Jen Psaki's it's all Trump's fault explanation?

Well, I hear a lot of blah, blah, blah. This is Biden's border crisis. It truly is. And whether President Biden is willing to say it or not, or Jen Psaki says it or not, it is a and with 23 years in the military and of course my service now on the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee, I see this not only as a humanitarian crisis, but it's also a growing threat to our national security. They have got to open their eyes. They've got to acknowledge this is not just a challenge. It is not just a big problem. It is a certified crisis.

Now, do you think they will do what is necessary, or is open borders the de facto policy of Team Biden?

I think it will end up being the de facto policy. And again, there's a lot of blah, blah, blah right now, but the extreme push from the left is to simply open our borders. And I heard her, you know, in her clip saying, oh, you know, we want these children to be safe. If we want them treated humanely. The humanitarian thing to do is not to have their parents hand them over to drug cartels and human traffickers and parade them through very dangerous situations. It's to protect them in their homes.

When you think about it, this should be the opening skit on every Saturday Night Live. I was just gonna say, precisely.

Yes.

I mean, and, and, you know, I don't like making fun of alcoholics being Irish, you know. But, and, but the politics is so funny. I mean, this, this guy, as Anne said, you know, thrown out of the Navy, uh, alcoholic, drug addict, gets a stripper pregnant. Gets a stripper pregnant, who hasn't?

This is by his own admission. But the, the joke, the real joke here is, who did Burisma— they did an international executive search, and who did they decide was the best person for them?

Smart money. Very funny. Anyway, welcome. Why was I laughing? I don't tweet enough. I really don't. I'm not kidding. But I need to tweet out this picture that was sent out by the White House. Did you know that the source of this is the White House? It's a picture of the President of the United States and the Vice President of the United States in a limousine, seated obviously close together, both wearing masks. Now for the punchline: they both got vaccinated. Why the hell are they wearing masks? Do you get it? I don't get it. They both got vaccinated and they're both wearing masks. What are they protecting themselves against? The driver? That's it, the driver. But I don't understand, if you got vaccinated, why are you wearing a mask? And why do you care if anybody else gets vaccinated? There's something awry going on, you have to admit, folks. You don't have to be an MD to know that something does or does not make sense. In fact, it helps if you're not an MD, I'm sorry to say. It helps if you're not a PhD. It's not only medical doctors who so often don't think clearly. It's also Doctors of Philosophy. That's what PhD stands for, right? Isn't it? Doctor— isn't that what it stands for, PhD? Which is funny. You have a Doctor of Philosophy in biology? PhD in biology? Anyway, it's a doctorate. My reaction is these are not leaders. These are wimps. We have wimps who are in high positions of power, president and vice president. They don't think clearly and they're wimps. That's my theory. Anyway, Joe Biden said he wouldn't fly during— was it SARS? Swine flu? We— I— it's really fascinating that I picked up on Joe Biden being a wimp so many years ago. Yeah, it so struck me. This is a leader. That's what I said. What year was that? 1563? What year was it? April 2009 or 2009. Isn't that awesome? Yes, and you elected him president because you hate Trump. That's what matters. You hated Trump. You hated Trump more than you loved America. Of course, people who hate Trump think that— many think it's out of love of America that I voted for the left. Okay, never has Never has America suffered the amount of suppression of speech as it is now. Listen to this. Ready? This whole, uh, hysteria— I mean, this is really fascinating— hysteria over anti-Asian American racism. So let me read you something here. So listen to this. The Washington Post reported last week anti-Asian hate crimes have spiked 150% since the pandemic began, according to a recent study. Ah, you know what I do? One of the handful of people that follow the hyperlink, you know, the underlined thing, sometimes in blue on the internet. You click on it because if they say according to a recent study, so you click on it, you get to the study. Well, I clicked on it and I didn't get to the study. I got to an article about the study. Finally, I got to the study. So the study cited by the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, and the other left-wing media is from the center— you could tell by the name it's clearly an objective truth-seeking institution— the Center for the Study of Hate. Is that awesome? Did you know that such a thing exists? The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University San Bernardino. That's the study that they are all citing of the spike of 150% in the last year of anti-Asian American incidents. Hey, so even according to the Center for the Study of Hate, the 150% increase in anti-Asian American hate crimes is contained in its Fact Sheet: Anti-Asian Prejudice, March 2020, according to which— are you ready? When you hear 150% spike in anti-Asian American hate incidents, you're thinking, whoa, whoa, it's a plague. Are you ready? This is in their own study from the Center for the Study of Hate. Anti-Asian American incidents, incidents that might include an insult, most of it would include insults, rose from— I gotta have somebody guess. Sean, Here we go. I'm gonna give you 3 numbers and be honest. Don't try to think, oh, why, Dennis is fooling with me. The number of anti-Asian American incidents in 2019 in the whole country. Ready? A, 7,000. B, 1,000. C, 49. He's right, but he knew because I wanted to make a point. 49. It's a country of 330 million people. This is what year? 2019. So it doubled So it went from 49 to 122. By the way, they even include people who say, who would say, let's say to an Asian American, that the virus started in China. That would be enough to qualify as a hate incident. The entire edifice of the anti-Asian American hate is predicated on an alleged increase of 73 incidents. Given that there are about 330 million Americans, and assuming a different American was responsible for each of 122 anti-Asian incidents, that would mean that 1 in every 2,704,918 Americans committed an anti-Asian incident. That's another way. That's correct. Committed by whom, by the way? Not by who. I should— you should go to the punishment room, buddy, or not, because this was not on the air. That's right. So according to the Center for the Study of Hate at Cal State San Bernardino, 1 out of every 2,704,918 Americans committed an anti-Asian act of hate. Is this country saturated or not with anti-Asian American hate? Everything you— not everything, that's not possible. The weather reports are accurate, but you're not even sure about that. It's all lies. The left wants hate because if Americans don't hate each other, they don't vote Democrat.

They would be at a 24-hour vigil for when they were going to put a, you know, a straitjacket on Trump and take him out of the White House into the local mental institution. But when Joe Biden does it, well, it's Joe Biden. Wait, let me guess, is it his stutter again?

There are, there are a number of reasons that we need to tighten things up at the border— human trafficking and guns, but also this issue of opioids and heroin and crystal meth and other drugs. And then, of course, the issue of the overwhelming number of people that have rushed to the border because the Biden administration made so many changes in policy.

Now, Jen Psaki addressed this from the White House podium yesterday. Cut number 3.

Well, the situation on the ground is certainly challenging, in part because we inherited a dismantled system that wasn't prepared for processing asylum requests.

That had left. So it's Donald Trump's fault.

What do you think, Senator?

The reason people have rushed to the border is, is not because Donald Trump dismantled the, the process to determine whether people are eligible for asylum. It's because they put in place a number of things that changed the dynamic and allowed the traffickers to say that things were going to be better. If you got to the border, you could come into the country. They suspended the border wall construction, as you know. They terminated the border emergency that had been put in place. They announced a 100-day pause in deportations. They rescinded the public health emergency, which is what was allowing the Border Patrol to turn people back under COVID. And of course, on day one of his presidency, the president also announced that there would be support for a bill for amnesty. And that's okay, but when you say that, you have to also say You know, but anybody who is here is not— is going to qualify potentially, but nobody who's coming will qualify. And that wasn't made clear. And so you can imagine how all that combined led to an influx of people coming to the border.

He died probably of heartbreak because his career was ruined because of accusations of sexual harassment.

Actually, it's interesting, a disproportionate number of these courageous souls— who is the— oh, the fantastic— too many names in my brain. The woman, we've had her on periodically. She has now her own independent podcast and so on. Carol Swain? No, she's— She's, she's a journalist. Anyway, there, there are quite a number of them. Uh, certain— certainly Barry Weiss is one of them. You want to know another interesting thing about the dissidents? I may use that word just as I did in the Soviet Union. The dissident here is like a dissident in the Soviet Union. And it is fascinating. I'm going to make a list of this and put it out. I think I've mentioned this on the air, but I know I've mentioned it off the air. A disproportionate number of the leading conservative intellectuals, in other words, the people out there, they're called public intellectuals, the people out there making conservative arguments and have a large audience, okay? A disproportionate number of them are Jews, blacks, and gays. Isn't that interesting? So, uh, most blacks, most Jews, most gays are on the left. But among the top conservatives is a disproportionate number of members of those groups. So I gave you the numbers there and the study shows those spiked 150%. Back to the Canada issue. Father arrested for discussing child's gender transition in defiance of court order. New York Post. So he's a divorced dad, he has a 15-year-old daughter who's transitioning to becoming male, and the father still refers to his child as she. And the mother is totally supportive, and this is a very common thing. The father reportedly began litigation against the teen's mother after learning of the transition. The father's refusal to respect the child's decision regarding his gender identity is troubling, Chief Justice Robert Bauman and Justice Barbara Fisher wrote in the January decision. The father's rejection of his son's identity has caused the boy significant pain, quote-unquote, that has, quote, resulted in the rupture of what both parties refer to as an otherwise loving parent-child relationship. This rupture is not in the boy's best interest, the decision said, but it is in the boy's best interest— now a boy— it is in the boy's best interest to have puberty-blocking hormones at the age of 15 against a parent's desire, right? That's in the child's interest. This is Canada, ladies and gentlemen, which is a drop worse than the United States, which is very difficult in terms of suppression of free speech. Guys going to prison. Father confirmed his legal woes on an online fundraising campaign soliciting donations, billboardchrist.com. The far left issued an arrest warrant on Thursday, March 4th.

This isn't, as some have portrayed it, as some kind of spontaneous, random, organic response to Joe Biden being president. This is being institutionally organized for the profit of the cartels, correct? Absolutely.

And the cartels understand what our politics and our policies are better than we do as Americans. And they knew where Joe Biden was leaning and his administration, and they were more than willing and more than ready to help accommodate those people to come across this country. Look, they don't just let people come across. On the other side, the cartel is regulated. They make these people pay. They give them children to, hey, hey, here, take this kid across with you. They're less likely to stop you.

So this is something that I want everybody to understand. I heard this from my friend, former Commissioner for Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan. They are using children from the northern counties in Mexico as props so that groups of adults coming across can say, we are a family unit. So the feds have to treat them differently. Are you confirming that, Sheriff Lamb? Yes, 100%.

And out in Collin County, Texas, one of my, one of my other fellow sheriffs out there, they do interdiction on the highways out there. He says no less than 3 to 5 times they have actually pulled cars over where the people in the front had no idea who the children in the back were, and the children in the back had no idea who the people in the front were. They know what our policies are. They're using that against us. They're using children, which is despicable. And honestly, where are these parents of these people?

I just get tired of people blaming racism for any time there's statistical differences along race and ethnicity. And you brought up the case in point about the NBA and NFL. We as Black people were overly represented in these areas, and yet we'd never hear, "Boo, that that's racist." But everywhere else, We scream racism. And I just wish that we would just go a little bit deeper in the analysis whenever we see these things. What is it in the culture? What is it in the way that we're bringing up our children in society that's promoting people to go into certain areas and occupations? Like that, I feel, would be much more useful and helpful rather than just saying, oh, racial inequity or racism. I'm saying this as a Black woman. I attended Ivy League schools. And I always thought in the back of my mind, are you judging me because you think I'm here and I didn't deserve it? Whenever we do that and we eliminate merit-based systems, it always makes those of us who are trying to work hard feel like people are judging us as if we didn't work hard to get here. Well, Bonnie, thank you, Larry.

Bonnie, thank you very much. I really do appreciate it. I went to an Ivy League school too. My girlfriend was a dancer. She tried out to be a cheerleader and she didn't make it. and I went to a game, I think one game, and all the cheerleaders were Black even though virtually all the players were white. Uh, merit-based, these white girls, she told me, just couldn't do the steps they were doing. But nobody complained. Nobody said we got to have a race-based determination for cheerleaders, we have more white ones.

The situation on the ground is certainly challenging, in part because we inherit Going to take another critical subject.

I have a guest I consider— he's in my pantheon of heroes. He is— he has that greatest of all traits, courage. He is Mort Klein. He is the president for many years of the Zionist Organization of America, one of the leading pro-Israel organizations in Jewish life in the United States and elsewhere. Mark Klein, welcome back to the Dennis Prager Show.

Dennis, it's an honor to be with you. I consider you one of the most brilliant, insightful, deep thinkers of anyone in the United States of America.

You are a treasure and a resource for for all of us here in America.

I want my listeners to know I promised them I did not know he would say this.

I give you my word. Well, actually, you gave me a longer version, but I cut it down.

Yeah, that's right. Now that I think of it, you didn't add in humble. I don't understand. That was in the list.

More Klein, by the way. You mentioned 120 or so anti-Asian attacks of one sort or another? Yeah. Do you know how many attacks against Jews in 2019?

I actually wanted to know. What is the answer? 2,107 versus 122. So why isn't there a hysteria over antisemitism in America? Right.

Because condemning We're now sensitive to every group in America except Jews. You can say anything you want against Jews.

No, no, no. Right. And Christians, to be honest. And religious Christians. Yes, exactly. All right. There are two issues I want to discuss with you, and it's a toss-up which goes first. So let's begin with the Biden administration. Are we going to see a change vis-à-vis the Middle East and/or Israel?

I think of the very important phrase personnel is policy. Joe Biden has appointed the most hostile to Israel and to US-Israel relations group of people ever. This is worse than the people that Obama appointed. And I believe, of course, that Obama and others are behind these appointments now that you have the COVID of Joe Biden. He's appointed people like Robert Malley, who accepts the nuclear Iran, who's against sanctions on Iran. He's appointed Avril Haines, director of national intelligence, who has accused Israel of terrorism and assigned radical anti-Israel letters. He's appointed Mahir Bitar as the senior director for intelligence. These are very important posts. He supports boycotting Israel. He's on the board of Students for Justice in Palestine, a radical anti-Israel group. Wow, wow, you can't—

wow, that's like BLM. Yes, conferences.

He does seminars on how to demonize Israel. That's what they're called. And, and And also many more, but Hedy Amar, a top State Department official whose role is on Israel-Palestinian issues, he has praised terrorism against Israel, said it inspires him, the Intifada, the terror war against Israel. He accuses Israel falsely of ethnic cleansing and brutally murdering innocent people, and he supports Hamas. And I can go on and on. Except a handful. Almost every one that has any importance in Israel and otherwise is somebody hostile to U.S.-Israel relations.

Mort Klein, who do you think is behind these appointments?

These are all people, almost all of these people are people who are very close to Barack Hussein Obama and to Valerie Jarrett. Valerie Jarrett and Obama have both remained in Washington all these years. I understand Jarrett actually lives or has a place in Obama's home. And I believe they are a critical factor in these appointments, 'cause these are Obama's friends. And now, as I said, he has the COVID of Joe Biden appointing them, with the false image of being a centrist. So it's Obama and the far-left people behind him. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and such, I believe they're behind these appointments. And you know what's really—

Go on, go ahead.

What's really troubling about this, in addition to the fact that these appointments are terrible for U.S.-Israel relations, the Jewish world has not only not condemned them, the organizational leaders has not only not condemned them, Many have praised these appointments as centrist appointments, which is ridiculous, and have called me, Morten Klein, urging and demanding that I stop criticizing these appointments, that this is not good for the Jews.

I'm quiet because it's like an inverted world of reality. When I get back with Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, I want I want him to relate to you what happened to him and his organization in parts of Jewish life, and you will see echoes of Catholic life, Protestant life, wherever the left takes hold. He is a remarkable man. And here's a remarkable product for those of you with muscle pain or joint pain, Relief Factor.

I just got an email about someone who says they have to take mandated racial diversity seminar training or whatever it is. And all I have to say is that there is a piece of art, and I don't use that word lightly, that is so perfect, so funny, so politically incorrect. That hits this perfectly. It's from the legendary show The Office. Now, The Office started as an unbelievably politically incorrect show, and then it got into this kind of like quasi-woke thing later on. But the episode Diversity Day with Steve Carell, it's so politically incorrect, especially in today's time. I'm just going to tell you something right now. If I dared repeat some of the lines here, it wouldn't even be an advertiser boycott. It would— it would— I'd be an advertiser invasion. One of my favorite lines is Steve Carell looks into the— actually, this might be the pilot episode. You see, I am— I'm not an expert in a lot of things, but I am an expert in the central canon of the first season of The Office, because it all went downhill from there. I watched it later. The first season of The Office is so well-written, as if they don't care about— they just said, we are going to swing for the fences, bottom of the 9th. We want this show to catch on, that they just took huge risks. Steve Carell famously said, as Abraham Lincoln said, if you are a racist, I will attack you from the north. I highly encourage you to check it out because we need to laugh about this stuff a little bit because people are emailing me, Charlie, what do I do about this diversity stuff? Seminar.

Listen, I fight hard for what I believe in every day, but I also try to understand where somebody who disagrees with my ideology or my politics, where they're coming from. And so in a way, maybe, maybe you do the same thing and it kind of keeps us sort of out of the hot seat where we're not just trying to, to lob, you know, hand grenades to the other side, but we're trying to have a reasonable dialog.

Yeah, I don't want any vitriol in my life.

I work very hard to avoid it. One of the things I, of course, I talk about my dog a lot, Jasper. I have actually utilized my love for dogs to form relationships with people that I might disagree with politically.

And Hi everybody. Final question here to a truly courageous, powerful figure. He's the president of the Zionist Organization of America, Morton Klein. And he fights the conservative fight within Jewish life, which is somewhat of a lonely battle, to say the least. So give us a synopsis, brief synopsis, of what happened to you and your organization in Boston.

Well, as you know, we went from the political correctness era where you couldn't really you can't really tell the truth, to where if you do tell the truth, the leftists want to silence you, cancel you, and censor you. This has not only come to America, it's now come to the Jewish world where it never was there before. I feel like I'm living in Russia, China, or Cuba, not in the United States of America. Two far-left extremist groups in the Jewish Community Relations Council of Boston the JCRC. J Street, a very far-leftist group, New Israel Fund, and Workers' Circle—that's a communist group—have demanded that ZOA and me be thrown out of the board of the Jewish Community Relations Council in Boston because we have dared—I have dared—to tell the truth about the organization Black Lives Matter, not black people, the organization. I have written that they are racist and anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. Oh, so for that they want— The movement for Black Lives, which is the umbrella group of Black Lives Matter, they're the biggest member of this movement for Black Lives. They say that Israelis destroy Palestinian homes to build Israeli communities, a lie. They say Israel's committing genocide. Genocide against Arabs, which is amazing. There were 150,000 Arabs, Palestinian Arabs, in 1948. Today there's over 2 million. So whoever's in charge of the genocide program should be fired immediately. It's not working.

Exactly. So absurd.

They say Israel's an apartheid state, even though there are Arabs who are in the cabinet, in the Knesset, the parliament, on the Supreme Court. It's a ridiculous lie. They say Israel trains you US police specifically to kill blacks. Can you imagine? This is Black Lives Matter, the organization.

They support both sides. So, so, Mort, just tell me, are you or are you not still in the Jewish Community Relations Council in Boston?

I'm still in.

There's going to be a vote in the next month or two. I've already had a 2-hour hearing in I had to waste my time in a 2-hour hearing explaining why Black Lives Matter, the organization, is anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. We had the hearing. In a month or two, there will be a vote. And by the way, I explained, when I condemn the Ku Klux Klan, I'm not condemning white people. I'm condemning that group. When I condemn the Irish Republican Army, I'm not condemning Irish people. That group. Black Lives Matter organization, I'm condemning the group, not black people.

That's exactly right. You are a gem, my friend. I'm going to report what happens in Boston, for whatever that's worth. God bless you. This guy is worth following. I'm sure. The Zionist Organization of America. I like bringing you courageous people. I mean, to think of that he would be in jeopardy of being kicked out of organized Jewish life in one of the biggest cities in the United States? Just remember, whatever the left touches, it destroys. By the way, he gave me the number. I asked for it earlier. So we're told that there's this anti-Asian American tsunami of hate in this country. Another great New York Times, CNN lie, gigantic lie, like America is systemically racist. 122 anti-Asian American incidents last year, 120 to 2,100 against Jews. And by the way, I argued— remember when they said anti-Semitism antisemitism is gigantic when Donald Trump got elected, when they were still having me on CNN. I wonder if it's available on YouTube, my appearances on Don Lemon's show, where I said this is a gigantic lie that Donald Trump is making or increasing antisemitism in America. So I was opposed to that too. This country is not anti-Semitic. This country is not anti-Asian American. This country is not anti-Black. This country is not anti-Hispanic. This country is not anti-Pacific Islander. This country is not anti-Native American. This country is not anti-gay. It's a good country, but a lot of corrupted people now live in it. That's what's so sad. I said earlier in the show This past year I've learned more than the last 20 years about life, about America, about the world. A lot of what I learned is, is, uh, is sobering. I never knew how much corruption there was in the highest echelons of the FBI, CIA, State Department, etc. And the medical establishment— they're corrupt. They're all just corrupt. I've always known about how insidious corruption is. I've spoken about it on the air. I call it the C-word, corruption. It's what— that's more than anything else is what holds back third world countries. Not their people, not their lack of material wealth. Corruption. The United States is approaching third world corruption. The medical establishment corruption was totally new to me. Suppressing knowledge of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and zinc, suppressing the pursuit of therapeutics while banking entirely on a vaccine that doesn't work. I, I don't say it doesn't work. They say it doesn't work. Please understand that if it works, you don't need to wear a mask like the president and vice president didn't in their tweet yesterday. If it works, you don't have to wear a mask. If it works, you don't have— you don't give a damn if the next guy got vaccinated, correct or not? They say everybody has to be vaccinated, but why? Why isn't it enough for you? If it works, you are immune, correct or not? If it works, you don't need to wear a mask. But you have to do both. So it doesn't work according to them, not me.

This is Jerry Boyer of Town Hall Finance for TownHall.com. The Congressional Budget Office just released its new debt figures. The national debt this year will top 102% of GDP. This has only happened twice before, both during World War II. This number does not count the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, nor does it count the money which was borrowed from Social Security, since that's considered intergovernmental debt. Debt levels this high break the intergenerational covenant that we have with our children and grandchildren. FDR borrowed to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan. Money well spent. Reagan borrowed to defeat the Soviet Union. That was also money well spent. These great projects made the world better for future generations. But our political class is not buying victories against international threats. They are buying political victories for incumbents. This is nothing more than fiscal abuse, and our kids will pay the price. It needs to stop now. I'm Jerry Boyer.

They don't think that America has the qualification to speak to China from a position of strength. Cut 91.

Well, I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China, it was necessary that we make our position clear. So let me say here that in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.

You understand what they're saying here? They're saying that, oh, the United States doesn't have a position of strength. You mean after you destroyed our manufacturing base, debased our currency, spied on our cyber grid? They're lecturing us about strength. In one sense, they're right, but the fact that they have the cockiness to say that goes to show exactly where the international order is headed. And I'm going to tell you one thing that we should all be talking about when it comes to Joe Biden and China. That we just seem to be forgetting and missing.

Okay, my friends. Hmm, there's so many good calls. This is a painful, painful moment, but let me begin with Brent in LA.

Brent of LA, hello. Hello, Dennis. I wanted to thank you for starting the exposure of what I call the rise in Jewish antisemitism a week before Passover, where in Egypt, the Jew, only 1 out of 5 Jews left Egypt. And today we are dealing with so many Jews who are fighting against our interests in our own Congress. They want to go back to Egypt.

I never heard the 1 out of 5 left, and I did a commentary on Exodus. But in any event, look, the crisis of Judaism, Protestant Christianity, and Roman Catholicism is is deep. The upper echelons of every, essentially every institution have been corrupted. Medicine, law, FBI, CIA, State Department, and religion. Oh God, and now Now, this is— I have to add to this list. This is a real painful one. The military. We have more and more military leaders who sound like they're running Romper Room. Guys know what Romper Room is? How do you know what Romper Room is? Doesn't that— that was on when you were a kid? Yeah, no, I couldn't handle it. I, I thought Romper Room was for weak isn't that funny that at 4 or 5, it's one of the only memories I have, I remember thinking I am way too mature to watch RoboRoof. I loved Captain Kangaroo though. I mean, I don't want to— I wasn't watching the rise and fall of the Third Reich when I was 5, just for the record. You were. 4. Yeah, that's great. It's like I didn't begin speaking till 3, and people asked, gee, what was it? I said, I, you know, I started speaking when I could charge, when I could send people a bill. My grandfather— for those of you who have kids who were behind schedule, if this is of any help That's pretty late to start speaking, and my grandfather thought I was retarded. He truly did. He kept saying to my parents, and I love, I really love that, that was my grandparent I was closest to. He kept telling my parents, take him to a specialist, take him to a specialist. That was his euphemism for psychiatrist. And here I am, and you're listening to me. All right, Mark, Stan, Craig, Bill, Tony, Mark, thanks for calling.
