The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

Hi everybody. Hmm, let me adjust here. There we go. Listen to this. It's hard to believe this is a United Airlines tweet. What do you think of this, my friends? Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. Before I go on, I would like to ask why. If you fly many African airlines and others, very often there will be a European pilot. They reflect almost none of the passengers because the airlines there decided that they just want the most competent pilot, whether he reflects the race of the passengers or not. Would we like pilots to reflect the reflexes and intelligence of the passengers. Why the skin color? I think we should take an IQ test and average passengers on 100 flights on United and then make sure that that is the IQ of the pilot. What do you think of that? If you want to reflect your passengers Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That's why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color. Hmm. What if women and people of color don't want to be pilots? Well, you're asking what if women and people of color in general don't want to be pilots as much as others might. I don't want to fly United if they choose their pilots on anything other than skill. It's no reflection on women. This is no reflection on people of color. It's a reflection on United. We live in a sick time. The destruction of standards, but that's par for the course for the left. But they have to— the leftists have to fly on airplanes too. 50% in the next decade of the pilots they train have to be women or people of color. So if it turns out that they have to lower standards then as they do in colleges with affirmative action. When you have affirmative action for pilots, will they do this for surgeons? Would you want that for surgeons? Would you want affirmative action? My dear listeners of the left, would you like such race and sex-based affirmative action 'With regard,' not 'regards,' 'looks,' 'feels.' Please don't use 'regards.' 'Regards' is 'give my regards to your mother,' 'give my regards to Broadway.' Not 'with regards to,' it's 'with regard to.' I'm sorry that it bothers me, but it does, and it bothers me because I love excellence. That's why. The degradation of language is just another form of hostility to standards that pervades our society. This is astonishing. Oh, I love this. Did you see, did you see Matt Walsh's comment on the United tweet? Unbelievably, no major airline has ever hired a member of the blind community to pilot one of their aircraft. What do you say to that, huh? Will you be the first to break this glass ceiling once and for all? Anti-blind bigotry has no place in the airline industry. Or anywhere else in society. Affirmative action pilot over the intercom: The plane is going down. Brace for impact, passengers. We are grateful to die for the sake of diversity. And here's a defender of it. All they are saying is they don't have a diverse team now, and in the future there will be opportunities for people from all different backgrounds. A lot of companies in the US pack diversity, and they recognize that. So what these people— what this person and those who agree with this person are saying is that United until now has in fact prevented qualified blacks and women from being pilots, right? That's the only possible conclusion to be drawn. But I don't believe that. I don't believe it for a second. Not one of you believes it. I don't think, I don't know if United believes it. We, at this point, it would appear that we are drifting to two different United States of America. The free and rational States of America and the Soviet and irrational States of America. Free people should have their own airline, their own Major League Baseball. Their own states. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I, I don't know what else to conclude. I don't want to fly an airline that has affirmative action for pilots. I don't want to go to a college that has 6 different graduations for ethnic and sexual groups like Columbia University does. I don't want to watch games that lie just pure lies. You know, Joe Biden may be the greatest liar we've ever had as a president. He dwarfs Donald Trump. He's continuing with the Georgia thing even though it's, it's been completely, as the left likes to say, debunked. Just yesterday he went back to the Jim Crow law lie. Here's another one from Never Republican. White men seem to be opposed to the idea, but I think it's great. And since people will still have to go through training and be qualified to be a pilot, the only objection seems to be that it won't be a white man's industry any longer. So this person who wrote that is stating that until today United was racist in its— and sexist in its choice of pilots. Right? That's what it's saying. I must say that I do feel sorry for young white men and for that matter young white women. The hatred that is sent in their direction is quite remarkable. I don't know if they know what hit them. I don't think they did. I'm sorry for all young people who go to college. In most cases, I'm sorry for those who were locked down for no good reason other than the cowardice of the teaching profession. There are good teachers, but, but teachers in general have disgraced themselves. Do you know that some doctor— I don't know if he's a doctor, but he added MD to his letter. I should have brought it with me. Some doctor was angry at my column yesterday about outdoor mask wearing. And gave the classic well-educated moronic response, "Who are you? You're not an epidemiologist to write on this, or a doctor to write on this." I don't know if he used one or the other or both. So I just wrote back, "Why don't you read the article about how many doctors and epidemiologists I quoted?" There's no doubt in my mind the man never read the article. He read the headline. I caught him. I will say that doctors have, with again exceptions of course, have not, shall I say, bathed in the glory of truth-telling standards and courage.

Did you move to LA from New York?

I moved very shortly thereafter because Well, I couldn't write for Letterman. I was perfect for Johnny Carson. And so I asked my now friend David Letterman, would he please send a package out to his connections? He's already been guest hosting that show for years and whatnot.

So what happened? The Tonight Show said, nah, we're not interested.

Johnny was going through a miserable divorce. And by the way, I remember the very first joke because he did use some of the material I sent out. The very first joke. Now, you wouldn't be able to do this joke today because it's body shaming. And you have to remember, The reference is, I guess, now 35, maybe even—

gosh, is this a Totie Fields joke or a Mama Cass Elliott joke?

Sort of, sort of. All right, remember Karnak the Magnificent? The answer is, the answer is hip hip hooray. The question: describe Liz Taylor putting on her jeans.

That is a great joke. What do you mean you can't do a joke like that today? That is a great joke. You just did it on this program. I love it. Hip hip, so has that just appeared anywhere?

Yes, every time I'm on the air.

Every time you're on the air, hip hip hooray. When you write a joke like that, that's like a, I think Dick Cavett's first major joke was, what, what, there's a new restaurant and it's Chinese German. The only problem is an hour after you eat there, you're hungry for power. That's a stupid joke, but I mean, anyway, okay, so hip hip hooray.

Can I tell a slightly off-color joke?

If you don't, we'll be offended.

Biden makes these assertions about this Georgia law. Says you can't give people water. Says it shrinks voting hours. Both of which are lies. Now, as you know, a man who now lives in Florida was dogged for 4 years with a running tab by one of the major newspapers about all the lies he tells. Biden tells these big massive lies, does them quietly, doesn't scream or yell. Media doesn't say a damn thing. Now, is that because the media doesn't know he's lying or doesn't care? Biden said, and Nancy Pelosi just reiterated it yesterday, that 83%— notice it's never 82, never 84, it's always 83— 83% of the Trump tax cuts went to the top 1%. It's a lie. FactCheck.org says it's not true. That's a left-wing organization run by the Annenberg Foundation. That's also left-wing, the Annenberg Center. PolitiFact, also run by a left-wing organization, said it's not true. Washington Post. The Washington Post, as you know, has not endorsed a Republican for president in its entire history. That's how left-wing they are. They said it's not true. The left claimed the top 1% are undertaxed. It's a lie. My point is Biden says these things.

If you are getting your mobile service through Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T, you can get the exact same coverage as one of those big carriers with Pure Talk, except that it costs you half or less. The average family is saving over $800 a year. I found this a little remarkable. $30 a month for what, how many gigs of data now? 6 gigabytes of data, unlimited talk, unlimited text for $30. So I actually got a phone and signed up, and they're right. By the way, you don't have to get a phone. You can get a phone through them at great rates. You can keep your phone, you can keep your phone number. Unlike the Barack Obama promise of you can keep your doctor and you can keep your health plan. This is the truth. So what do you need to do?

And I welcome you back to the show. I, I will— I want to move on here. The governor of Arkansas was on Tucker Carlson last night. This is painful for me to say. But I've never encountered the man. He's a Republican, but he seems to be devoid of the ability to think clearly in a way that was shocking. They passed a bill in Arkansas which he vetoed. The Republicans dominate the state house, whatever it is, assembly and representatives or state senators, whatever it is. And they passed a law that children cannot undergo what's called chemical castration, puberty blockers, have their breasts cut off if they say, if it's a girl who says that she's a boy, etc. Who are underage, right? You can't get a beer if you're under 18, but you can cut your breasts off. You can take testosterone and get facial hair if you start out a girl. That, that's fine. And I presume other forms of what they call chemical castration. Things that permanently alter your ability to function normally in many cases, such as sterilization as a result of the hormones. So he vetoed it, but he said to Tucker Carlson— Sean, if you could find that, it would be a treasure. It would be— no, no. Had been a bill that simply prohibited chemical castration, I would have signed the bill. But Tucker, as you know, this bill was overbroad, it was extreme, and went far beyond what you just said. And I made it clear that this— if this was about prohibiting procedures, sex reassignment surgery, absolutely, I would have signed that bill. But this, again, is the first law in the nation that invokes the state between medical decisions, parents who consent to that. Okay, now, wait, wait, wait, very important. The man 100% contradicts what he just said in the opening. Tucker is terrific. I wish he had picked up on it. He didn't. This drove me crazy, crazy. I have a logic meter built into my brain, and when pure, undiluted illogic confronts me and it is not pointed out, it sounds like a violinist who, who is playing the wrong notes. Now listen to what he said. He said if the bill had prohibited any of the sex reassignment procedures, correct?

Am I—

this is the third time I'm hearing it. If this had been a bill that simply prohibited chemical castration, I would have signed the bill. Right. Okay. So either he's lying or he doesn't think clearly. I don't know which it is. It doesn't matter. But What then he says, ah, but the reason I'm opposing it is that it's the first bill in the nation to put the government between parents, doctors, and the patient.

But Tucker, as you know, this bill was overbroad.

It was extreme. It went far beyond what you just said. And I made it clear that if this was about prohibiting procedures, sex reassignment surgery, absolutely, I would have signed that bill. But this again is the first law in the nation that invokes the state between medical decisions, parents who consent to that, and the decision of the patient. And so this goes way too far. Okay, okay, but he just said he would sign the bill if it blocked all sex reassignment. Isn't that putting the government between the patient and the doctor? What he said was 100% untrue. I'm not accusing him of being a liar. I don't think— I don't know what he is. He's self-deceptive. He wouldn't have signed it. It's just not true because that means that the government is getting in the way. But the government gets in the way of a kid being able to vote. The government gets in the way of a kid getting a tattoo. The government gets in the way of a kid getting alcohol, certainly tobacco, straws— well, that's for all ages. The state of Arkansas, all the states, don't allow a kid to get a cigarette or cigar, but they can take hormone blockers or get their breasts cut off if the parents say fine. Oh, by the way, if only one parent says fine, the other parent is called a hater. My God, this was the stupidest interview I recall in the recent past. And if the next volume we can get a sixth gender, then praise the Lord. Anyway, I do have five editors. I actually love being edited because I only care about having a great product. But I did something I haven't done, I did not do in the first two volumes, Mazie, how did she get elected? If I took 100 Americans, I would find more common sense and intelligence than in many of our elected officials. 1-800-PRAGER-776.

Coca-Cola cowards read the damn bill. It doesn't suppress anybody unless you're of the mindset, you know, if you're black, you're too dumb to figure out how to get ID to vote. That's suppression because we know how black people are. You know how brown people are. They're not intelligent enough to get an ID put together. They can't go down to the DMV, or they can't figure out a way to get just a state ID. No, no, they can't. We can't expect our poor black friends to do that. That's the left. That's the mindset. That's the thinking of Democrats. Now, Ed Bastian's company, Delta, won't be so forgiving for somebody who's too ignorant to get an ID and let them get on their plane. Because you can't fly Delta without a photo ID, a legitimate ID. But don't you dare expect a black or brown Georgian to be smart enough to figure out how to produce an ID when they vote. That's suppression.

No.

That's not suppression. That's idiocy. That is stupidity at the highest level, and everybody knows it. So good for the Georgia state legislature for pushing back and telling Delta to go stick it in your ear. They ought to say the same thing. They don't do the same thing to Coca-Cola, to Home Depot, to any of these companies who are playing this pitiful game of lying about the Georgia election integrity law. They are lies.

Even when they're not on some cable channel shock jock platform. They don't care. One of the bravest, best Americans I know was my colleague Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She's sitting there at the White House Correspondents Association annual dinner when somebody else who says she's a comedian, well, says this as she's standing next to her.

Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited because I'm not really sure what we're gonna get. You know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies, or divided into softball teams. It's shirts and skins, and this time don't be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta. I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful. Like, she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like, maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's lies. It's probably lies. And I'm never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders. You know, is it Sarah Sanders? Is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Is it Cousin Huckabee? Is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders?

And they are not insurgents, and we are not being invaded, which, by the way, is a white supremacist Last night I submitted the final draft. Of my next volume of the Rational Bible, I deserve a handshake. I deserve Yankee Stadium cheering.

All right.

The only reason I mention it, however, is that I added something Incidentally, I have 5 editors, very, very different people. By the way, you'll be happy to know, from 5 different genders, because that way I get a really diverse set of opinions on what I've written. And if the next volume we can get a 6th gender, then praise the Lord. Anyway, I do have 5 editors. I actually love being edited because I only care about having a great product. But I did something I haven't done, I did not do in the first 2 volumes. And that is, I added text. I didn't merely review what was written for errors, for syntax, for spelling, for typos, for grammar, for missing letters, for missing punctuation. It's endless. I actually added something, and I'll tell you what it is. The Brian Keating— what do we call that? Not promo. What's the word? We have a special radio word. What? Billboard. I never remember that word. You know why? Because when I think of a billboard, I think of a billboard on a highway, you know? I don't think of a billboard as something you only hear and not see. But it made me think of what I did. I added a false god to my list of false gods of modern men and women, which I should have had originally. And thank God I remembered quite literally at the last moment. I sent it in at 2:00 AM Pacific time. I go to bed very late, as you may inferred. And it is science. And I wrote, science is probably the current biggest false god. My book, The Exodus, and then this one, Deuteronomy, because the Ten Commandments is in both of those books, in my opinion, is worth it just for my explanation of false gods. The quote attributed to G.K. Chesterton is one of the greatest truisms of life. When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing. They believe in anything. People stop believing in God, but they do believe that Men give birth. It's interesting that the religious crowd does not believe men give birth. One of the fascinating developments of my life, or realizations of my life, is that the religious in America are far more rational than the secular. Not in every case, of course, but as a community, and many of my secular conservative friends would acknowledge that. But science, that's it. Science. Follow the science. That's why this video is so important. Follow the science. By the way, if you want to know how you should act as a human being, do you follow the science? What does science tell you about good and evil? I'll tell you what it tells you. Kill the weak. That is science. Science does not build hospitals. That's, that's stupid. Survival of the fittest is what science tells you. Does science tell you one decent thing? One. Name one. Name me one moral idea or law that you have derived from science. Name me one piece of wisdom you have derived from science. Science is so spectacularly limited, it's limited to science. And it's great. Guess what? Every evil regime believes in science. 1A Prager 776. Relief Factor. You should read the testimonials at relieffactor.com.

This is a teacher-student dialogue of a Zoom class in Virginia. Listen carefully. Play tape.

Tell me what this seems to be a picture of.

It's just two people chilling.

Right. Just two people. There's nothing more to that picture?

No, not really. Just two people chilling.

I don't believe that you believe that. I don't believe that you look at this as just two people. I don't think—

Truly is just two people though, is it not?

Yeah, but I think you're being— I think you're being— I think you're being intentionally coy about what this is a picture of.

What am I being coy about? It's two people standing back to back in a picture.

Yeah, and that's all you see is two people.

I'm confused on what you would like me to speak on in this.

I don't think you are.

Well, I'm confused. Are you trying to get me to say that there are two different races in this picture?

Yeah, that's what I'm asking you.

Is that what you want me to say? Well, at the end of the day, wouldn't that just be feeding into the problem of looking at race instead of just acknowledging them as two normal people?

No, it's not, because you can't not look at— you can't look at people and not acknowledge that there are racial differences. Right.

But if we're going for— let's say if we're looking for equality within all this, then why would we need to point out things such as that?

Because those things, those differences are real things.

Those differences are real things, says the eugenicist teaching your children. Margaret Sanger trained this public school teacher, this white school teacher, very well.

Why don't we see if we can find out who's going to be the next mayor of London? We figured out who it is. I'm not kidding. His name is Lawrence Fox. Lawrence, welcome to the program.

Hi, Eric. How are you doing?

I'm good. You're hoarse from your first stump speech, aren't you?

I am a bit. I was quite nervous doing my first stump speech, I have to say.

People don't know this. Listen, I have to frame this, and you can feel free to interrupt me. And I'm not, I'm not kidding, but I want people to understand that you're initially in your life, you're an actor, you're principally known as an actor. So people want to know why did Laurence Fox, the actor from the acting family, suddenly decide to go into politics and to say, yes, I would like to run to be the mayor of London. I mean, again, remember that most of the audience is American. They cannot fathom what's going on in London. So give us an idea for those of us who are not following the horrors of what your current mayor is doing.

You can pre-order it on Amazon. Read the reviews. There are almost— what is it— almost 3,000 reviews, I think, or 2,000. I don't remember the number. Read how it's changed people's lives. And then people that were convinced the Bible is a joke have a completely different view because I use reason to explain everything.

Since I make a fine income in what I do, radio and speaking, I felt that I could just do something whether or not it brought in income that I thought was important.

Hello, Sam.

Hello, uh, Dennis.

The—

my governor Dennis Prager, who you were just referencing in that interview with Tucker Carlson, is quoted as saying yesterday that the state of Arkansas would not be able to require or would not require this new idea of vaccine passports. And then he turns right around and says that employers in Arkansas can— can— can require their employees to be vaccinated. So what do you do? You put 20 years, maybe 25 years into a job, and you don't want this stupid vaccine, but an employer can legally require it. What becomes of you? You know, you're 3 years from retirement. What do you do?

That's right, my friend. I don't have an answer for you. What the government is doing— you see what the government is doing— I was going to say, you see what we have now is a movement towards a form of fascism that is not only governmental but is corporate. If your rights are taken away, whether it's a company or a government, your rights are taken away. The bottom line is the same. You're less of a free human being. I am ambivalent on the vaccine. On the one hand, I want as many people to get it as possible so that the lockdown can end, the mask idiocy, which has horrible effects on human interaction, can end. Although I don't think it'll ever end. After all, you can't be too safe. One of the truly most life-suppressing ideas ever invented. You certainly can be too safe. You can squelch life out of your life in the name of safety. It's one of the most life-suppressing ideas Abundance of Caution. No wonder its initials are AOC. See, it's still an experimental vaccine. I pray it's effective, and it may well be. The FDA has not approved it. Doctors who tell you— and I— and they're doctors I have immense respect for who who were on board. Get the vaccine, get the vaccine. But then the same doctor might say, you know, well, we, we don't know if hydroxychloroquine is safe. Hydroxychloroquine has been around a half a century and it's completely safe. No such thing as completely, okay? So don't send me an email, well, you know, It's like the listing that they have on drug ads, you know, well, this might lead to diarrhea and in extreme cases death. Okay, that's true about automobiles. In extreme cases, they lead to death. So hydroxychloroquine been around, and ivermectin, I don't know how many years has been around. These are the great prophylactic drugs with regard to COVID. And that doctors are not on board with, but they are on board with a vaccine that is brand new, brand new, not only brand new as a vaccine, but brand new in the type of vaccine it is, mRNA. Okay, so I could see why some people don't want to take it. And I'm not telling anybody not to take it. And I'm not being coy. I told you I'm ambivalent. But that businesses will start with this, where will it end? And the answer is it never ends. Income tax was started in the early 20th century at 1%. And they told us that's it, just 1%. I pay 50.

I have an interesting question for you. How does handing out or not handing out water in voting lines— how is it declared racist? That's the issue, correct? You're suppressing the black vote. Does the law say you can't hand out water to people of color? Whites can get water? You live— not you, we all live in the world of the lies of the left, and you can get water. You can't get water from a Democrat or a Republican or political operative. You can get water from an employee of the voting station. Also, how's this for a radical, radical American idea? Bring your own damn water. Craig, interesting question: why are Jews so generous and build so many hospitals? Well, it's an interesting question whether this generation that has gone to college and been secularized radically will be as generous as previous generations of Jews. Almost every major city has a Beth Israel or a Maimonides or some other hospital built by Jews. Christians did the same thing, you know, Presbyterian hospitals, Catholic hospitals. Yep, it's a beautiful thing that their religion has done in its best sense. Let's see here. Please clarify, John in Chicago, please clarify your position on gender reassignment under the age of 18. It should not take place, period.

That's it.

That's my position. Let's make it contingent on when you could buy a cigarette. Okay? You can take testosterone in massive doses if you're a girl, but you can't smoke a cigarette? This country is sick. Sick. That's my position. Here's another position: that the media report the number of people who regret that they, that they forever changed their bodies and their organs at the age of 16. Have that reported. We'll be back.

Even when they're not on some cable channel shock jock platform, they don't care. One of the bravest, best Americans I know was my colleague Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She's sitting there at the White House Correspondents Association annual dinner when somebody else who says she's a comedian, well, says this as she's standing next to her.

Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited because I'm not really sure what we're going to get. You know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies, or divided into softball teams. It's shirts and skins, and this time don't be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta. I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful. Like, she burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like, maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's lies.

It's probably life.

And I'm never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Is it Sarah Sanders? Is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Is it cousin Huckabee? Is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? What's Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women?

Hilarious, Michelle Wolf. So when that party, when those people who voted for Joe Biden and for Hillary Clinton tell you they care, they care about the illegal immigrants crossing our border, they're lying to you. They don't give a damn.

And they are not insurgents and we are not being invaded, which by the way is a white supremacist idea philosophy.

She doesn't know what philosophy means and that's okay. She's She's not very bright. She has a very big, very substantial following, I should say. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is articulating why she's angry at the people that are angry that the left seems completely uninterested in complaining that the Biden administration is actually doing Everything on the border worse than the Trump administration. But why is it that it feels as if we are slow to move against Joe Biden? I remember against Barack Obama, it was organic, it was real. There was a response that was unscripted. Patriots across the country rose up and started Tea Party groups. Candidates ran for office. Rick Santelli's famous rant in 2009 or 2010. And I'm reminded by a phrase that substance does not matter as much as style in the eyes of most voters. You see, what we make fun of Joe Biden for is actually a winning quality to most voters. The fact that Joe Biden is kind of sleepy and slow The fact that Joe Biden falls upstairs, which is a rather remarkable thing. It's exactly what the ruling class wants. You see, Joe Biden is like the grandparent that kind of falls asleep in front of the television at 7 o'clock.

What surprised me was what I call 9/12, and that was the liberal response to the attacks. The idea that we deserve them, that it was the chickens coming home to roost, in the words of my president's spiritual mentor. The idea that the way to prevent further attacks was to be nicer to the terrorists. This was insane to me, Eric. I realized this really is a culture war and I need to be a part of it. What weapon, what tool, what skill do I possess that our side seems to be missing? And we just didn't have a Bill Maher for the right. We didn't have a Jon Stewart for the right. And so for the first time in 15 years, I put together a standup act, only this time with a purpose. I weaponized it. I was going to be the Bill Maher for the right. And I think I've accomplished that. In fact, if you wish, you can see my hour-long special called Evan Say It: A Deplorable Mind. On Amazon Prime. If you have Amazon Prime, it's free to Amazon Prime subscribers. At the same time, I began to seriously think about why it is that good, smart, loving people like my friends on the political left reject fact and reason and side only and always with evil, failure, and wrong. And I started to come up with this thought that I turned into a book eventually, and a speech that I gave to the Heritage Foundation. Which Andrew Breitbart called one of the 5 most important conservative speeches ever given, in which I explained how the modern liberal thinks. And that book, that speech catapulted me into legitimacy as a conservative political pundit.

All this energy, all this passion for a bill that they consider to be racist. Have they read it? Have they seen the Yale study that shows that despite the so-called voter suppression measures, hasn't affected the Black vote at all? If anything, it might have encouraged blacks to vote even more, as if to say, oh really, you're trying to suppress my vote? I'll show you. No evidence whatsoever that these alleged voter suppression measures are in fact suppressing the black vote.

None.

Moreover, as I've said, poll after poll after poll over the years has shown that blacks support photo voter ID almost to the same degree as whites do. But here's what they're doing: they're characterizing the issue as they always do, as one— as an attack against Black people.

That way I feel bad for that guy, you know. Women have always been a problem for him. I think the list of things that can be a perennial problem for people is almost infinite. Yeah, it's an interesting question. It's not the topic of the male-female hour today, but I wonder, do as many women have problems with men as men do with women, vice versa? I have no idea. Just throwing out a question based on listening to that fantastic montage that introduces the Male-Female Hour. Second hour each Wednesday on the Dennis Prager Show is about men and women. I have learned an immense amount from you. The collective wisdom of millions of people is the best. Collective wisdom is an interesting concept, by the way. I was told that in a, in a in an experiment of counting the number of jelly beans in a jar, the collective wisdom was the most accurate answer. So let's say 100 people gave a number, but the average was the closest to the actual number. I have no idea if that's true, if that experiment took place. Male-Female Hour is about males and females. I have the scientific view that like aardvarks and giraffes, the human being is either male or female. That there are people who are profoundly uncomfortable with their sex is a given. That there are far more today than ever before because society rewards it is also a given, but that too is another subject. For those of you new to this show, I talk about everything in life, not just politics. Number 2, the theme of the Male-Female Hour is that the sexes understand each other better and get along better. As every one of you who's listened to any number of shows knows, I am not a man fan and I am not a woman fan. There are wonderful men and wonderful men— women, and awful men and awful women. Neither sex has a monopoly or a near monopoly on a-holes. They really are divided equally. Problem is they don't always marry each other. They sometimes marry Nice people. All right, and now, ladies and gentlemen, we return to today's episode. It's a very serious topic on the Male Female Hour, and I'd like you to call in as soon as you hear the topic so that I can go to calls as soon as possible. This is one of those times where you are the responders to a question, and then I reflect on your response, as opposed to you calling in to reflect on what I say, which is the more normal way of which I conduct the show. So here's the question: did your marriage survive an affair? Survive an infidelity. 1-800-PRAEGER, 776-877-243-7776. This is an important subject to understand men and women, to understand marriage, to understand why some marriages fall apart after an infidelity and others survive it. And what if your marriage did survive it? What did you learn, if anything? And I have a lot of other questions for anybody who calls in on that subject. Did your marriage survive an infidelity or an affair? You know, there really is a sub-question to this. If you divorced because your spouse had an affair, in retrospect, do you think you made the right decision? I think that's a fair question to add on to the first. My general view is that the idea that if your spouse has an affair, that should lead to the— that should automatically lead to the end of the marriage is a bad idea. But the word, the operative word is automatically. There are times where it should, where you have a person who is just constantly having affairs or just constantly engaging in infidelity. It seems to be built into them. They don't restrain themselves. That's a very big problem. Where's my husband tonight? It's really funny. I mean, today, this is a very, you know, this too would be an interesting question. Is it harder to have an affair today than it was before smartphones? I mean, it's not just that there's a record of every call that came in, that went out, every text that comes in and goes out. But you're trackable, right? I mean, you'd have to turn your phone off, right? Then it doesn't ping a, a cell tower. Is that right? Is that the only way? But how many people would remember to do that? It actually— if you went to somebody's home or a hotel That would be permanently recorded. The other day I discovered— have you ever seen this? Google sends you, or has it, everywhere you've been, a map of the world and everywhere you've been. Have you ever seen that? It's mind-boggling. I got a kick out of it because I happily haven't had an affair. But I got a kick out of looking at it. On the other hand, it's very scary. And then, you know, jogs my memory, oh yeah, that's right, I was in Malaysia that year, that's right. All right, 1-800-PRAGER-776-877-243-7776. All right, y'all, did you— did your marriage survive an affair? C'est la question sur la table. It's la table, right? Not le table. Is it even table? I don't know. I'm gonna look at both, both up when I Take a break here. We begin in Upland, California, and Mike— hello, Mike. Yes, yes.

Hi, Dennis.

Hi.

Let me start by saying I'm a long-time listener and appreciate you very much.

Thank you for that.

I was married about 3 years and an old girlfriend came back into my life that I'd never gotten over and unfortunately took me away from what was really most important, was my wife. And thank God that she was, uh, willing to forgive me. And since then, we have gone on and we are in our 48th year of marriage.

And this happened in the third year?

That is correct.

Wow. Well, This is an important call, obviously. I'm very happy to hear it. Yeah, I wonder if ever there's been a statistic what year of marriage is the most likely to see an affair. We'll be back.

I mean, tell me what this seems to be a picture of.

It's just two people chilling, right?

Just two people. There's nothing more to this picture?

Nah, not really. Just two people chilling.

I don't believe that you believe that. Um, I don't believe that you look at this as just two people.

Um, I don't think it truly is just two people though, is it not?

Yeah, but I think you're being— I think you're being, um, I think you're being intentionally coy about what this is a picture of.

What am I being coy about? It's two people standing back to back in a picture.

Yeah, and that's all you see is two people.

I'm confused on what you would like me to speak on in that photo. I don't think you are. Well, I'm confused. Are you trying to get me to say that there are two different races in this picture? Yeah, that's what I want you to say. Well, at the end of the day, wouldn't that just be feeding into the Is that the problem of looking at race instead of just acknowledging them as two normal people?

No, it's not, because you can't not look at— you can't look at people and not acknowledge that there are racial differences, right?

But if we're going for— let's say if we're looking for equality within all this, then why would we need to point out things such as that?

Because those things, those differences, are real things.

Those differences are real things, says the eugenicist teaching your children. Margaret Sanger trained this public school teacher, this white school teacher, very well.

Why don't we see if we can find out who's gonna be the next mayor of London? We figured out who it is. I'm not kidding. His name is Lawrence Fox. Lawrence, welcome to the program.

Hi, Eric. How are you doing?

I'm good. You're hoarse from your first stump speech, aren't you?

I am a bit. I was quite nervous doing my first stump speech, I have to say.

People don't know this. Listen, I have to frame this, and you can feel free to interrupt me. And I'm not, I'm not kidding, but I want people to understand that you're initially in your life, you're an actor, you're principally known as an actor. So people want to know, why did Laurence Fox, the actor from the acting family, suddenly decide to go into politics and to say, yes, I would like to run to be the mayor of London? I mean, again, remember that most of the audience is American. They cannot fathom what's going on in London. So give us an idea for those of us who are not following the horrors of what your current mayor is doing.

Yeah, we'll get on to my current mayor.

He's dreadful.

I think the reason why I'm not acting now is because about a year and a couple of months ago, I did— I went on a TV show in England called Question Time. I went on that show and I got into an argument with someone who said that I wasn't allowed a view because of my white privilege, and I said, let's not be racist. To each other. That went down pretty badly. Um, so my show business career ended pretty quickly after that with the actors union in, in the UK calling for me to be denounced, um, because I berated a woman of color.

Laura in Dallas, hello, thank you for calling.

Hello, thank you for having me.

Yes, ma'am.

So, um, my marriage survived an affair, and I agree with you that infidelity should not be cause for immediate dismissal of a marriage. And I did not used to think that way, but I do now.

Wow, interesting. So if you didn't used to think that way, why did you stay?

Because, um, honestly, I stayed because of my husband. I stayed because of the way he had the affair.

Forgive me, he had the affair? Okay, go ahead.

Yeah, he had the affair, and, um, it was on, you know, obviously a horrible betrayal, but Um, the way that he handled the situation after the whole thing came to light was what kept me, what kept me there. And honestly, I would say it was less because of him than because of obviously the kids and everything. But, um, he made it a lot easier. And then over time, you know, the relationship was able to heal and we were able to be happy again.

Are you Basically as happy as before the affair, less happy, or more happy?

We're more happy.

And the reason?

Um, I think there's several reasons, but the primary reason would be because through that whole situation I grew a lot. Um, obviously when you learn like the real true form of forgiveness. It kind of makes you a better person. And when you really truly forget someone and, and they show, you know, humility and, um, you know, just all the facets that come into that, that deep hurt healing, it's just like a scar, you know. You heal stronger, I believe. And so, um, At first it was very volatile, but, um, what year of marriage did this happen? 6th year.

So relatively early.

Yes.

And how long did he have the affair?

Probably several months.

Um, did he know the woman before you were married? I'm sorry, did he know the woman before you were married?

No.

So he met her at some time after the marriage. Now I'm going to ask a question that has nothing to do really with the subject, but I— it's just the Sherlock Holmes in me is curious. How did you find out?

You know what's funny is that I found out, um, exactly what you were just talking about— Google Maps.

No kidding. Yeah, I'm telling you, it's, it's, it, it's almost impossible, I think, these days.

It is. And I mean, I don't want— I don't mean to insult my husband or anybody else, but you really have to be an idiot to think that you can get away with it nowadays.

Well, you can't have a phone on.

Yeah.

And nobody remembers to turn it off? And if you do, how are you going to get directions to where you're going for the affair?

I know, I know. And it's kind of one of those things where after it's over, you're like, I was an idiot, why didn't I think of that? And I'm not— I don't consider myself a super tech-savvy person. It wasn't really hard for me to find.

No, it wouldn't be. Anyway, I'm very happy for you, and I Thank you for calling. Again, my position has always been, even before I ever got married, it should not automatically end a marriage. I think there are things that come closer, in fact, to automatically ending a marriage. And one would be contempt. If one spouse regularly shows contempt for the other, I I think that that's more devastating than an affair, just to give you one example. Okay, now let's go to Julie in Chicago. Hello, Julie.

Hi, Dennis, how are you?

I'm well, thank you.

Um, I'm calling because my marriage of 23 years did not, um, survive an affair, but he was having an affair of the mind, as I like to refer to it. My husband was desperately addicted to pornography.

Let me ask you a question, because this comes up pretty frequently. The first question I always ask the spouse, and it's almost— and it's always the woman, because men are far more visual in their arousal mechanism. So pornography is far more appealing to men. So the, the question that I, that I ask is, if you never knew that he was looking at this stuff, how would you have assessed your life of intimacy with your husband?

Totally fine.

So you had a totally fine intimacy with your husband, and you, and you, I assume you both loved each other?

Yes. Um, my— I found out about his addiction about the first year into our marriage, and he told me at that time that it was, um, you know, one-time thing, blah blah blah blah blah. Well, going on several years into our marriage, um, you know, we went to counseling, blah blah blah, and it kept coming up, coming up, coming up, coming up, coming up. And you talked about regularly showing contempt for your spouse. Um, pornography deals was more than a guy sitting there looking at Playboy. I mean, it was stealing money from our children's savings accounts. It was hiding money. It was restricting me to knowing anything about our finances because he needed the money to participate in this. And finally, after 23 years, I— one of my— one of our children found out about it. And that was, that was the end of it for me.

Well, all right, I have some thoughts, and stay on with me.

I moved very shortly thereafter because while I couldn't write for Letterman, I was perfect for Johnny Carson. And so I asked my now friend David Letterman, would he please send a package out to, to his connections? He's already been guest hosting that show for years and whatnot.

So what happened? The Tonight Show said, nah, we're not interested.

Johnny was going through a miserable divorce. And by the way, I remember the very first joke because he did use some of the material I sent out. The very first joke— now you wouldn't be able to do this joke today because it's body shaming, and you have to remember the reference is, I guess, now 35, maybe even—

gosh, is this a Totie Fields joke or a Mama Cass Elliott joke?

Sort of, sort of. All right, remember Cornac the Magnificent? The answer is, the answer is hip hip hooray. The question: describe Liz Taylor putting on her jeans.

That is a great joke. What do you mean you can't do a joke like that today? That is a great joke. You just did it on this program. I love it. Hip hip. So has that just appeared anywhere?

Um, yes, every time I'm on the air.

Every time you're on the air, hip hip, right? Well, when you write a joke like that, that's like a— I, I think, um, Dick Cavett's first major joke was, uh, uh, what, what, uh, there's a new restaurant and it's, uh, it's Chinese-German. Uh, the only problem is an hour after you eat there, you're hungry for power. That's a stupid joke, but I mean, anyway, okay, so hip hip hooray.

Biden makes these assertions about this Georgia law, says you can't give people water, says it shrinks voting hours, both of which are lies. Now, as you know, a man who now lives in Florida was dogged for 4 years with a running tab by one of the major newspapers about all the lies he tells. Biden tells these big, massive lies, does them quietly, doesn't scream or yell. Media doesn't say a damn thing. Now, is that because the media doesn't know he's lying or doesn't care. Biden said, and Nancy Pelosi just reiterated it yesterday, that 83%— notice it's never 82, never 84, it's always 83— 83% of the Trump tax cuts went to the top 1%. It's a lie. FactCheck.org says it's not true. That's a left-wing Organization run by the Annenberg Foundation, that's also left-wing, the Annenberg Center. PolitiFact, also run by left-wing organizations, said it's not true. Washington Post— the Washington Post, as you know, has not endorsed a Republican for president in its entire history. That's how left-wing they are. They said it's not true. The left claimed the top 1% are undertaxed. It's a lie. My point is, Biden says these things.

This is a teacher-student dialogue of a Zoom class in Virginia. Listen carefully.

Live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio, I'm Dennis Prager, and this is the Male-Female Hour, second hour every Wednesday. The subject is if Your marriage survived an affair, or did your marriage survive an affair? That's the question. Oh, good, Julie is still there. So my position is that even if there's an affair, that should not automatically end the marriage, and I certainly feel that way about pornography. But in Julie's case, it did lead to a divorce. Julie, I didn't quite follow. The, the spending of money— how much did he spend on sexual matters?

I, I have no idea. Um, I can tell you that at one point we went to refinance our house and there was tens of thousands of credit card debt that I did not know about, and they were all to pornographic websites or to massage parlors or what? I have no idea. I have no idea what he was, what he was doing with the money. I was a stay-at-home mom and I, I didn't handle any of the affairs, so I just had no idea. And when we got to the— I didn't even know that this was happening. We got to refinance the house and I looked at him um, after we left, and I said, if you continue to do this, I'm going to leave you. And, um, it continued. I mean, I, I think he— I, I would like— when you asked about our intimacy, um, very often that seems to be a question that people ask when men use pornography. Well, is the wife not, you know, keeping up her end of the marital bed deal?

No, no, that's That's not why I asked it, actually. I asked that question because I need to know how the man's preoccupation with porn affected his love of the wife. Because if it didn't, it's— if it did, it's pretty serious. And if it didn't, the issue is religious or something else, but it's not whether or not he has stopped loving his wife.

Well, I, you know, here's the thing, you know, sexually, you know, a sexual addiction is just you cannot get enough of it. So I don't really know if it matters if he loved me or not, but what the pornography did to me sexually is made me feel like I could never compete with what he was seeing. I could never, I could never be those women.

I know that. I know that. I know that.

And it destroyed me there. I mean, it destroyed me as a person.

Julie, I can't thank you enough for calling. I could actually spend the hour with you, but I can't, obviously, because I want to talk to many people. I have a— it's at the Prager Store. I have a 4-lecture series that I gave about 25 years ago on male sexuality, and it would be good to— for women to hear, to hear these 4, uh, 4 lectures. I think it's called An Introduction to Male Sexuality, something like that, or understanding male sexuality. Most men are not doing that. I have a video, it has nothing to do with porn, that has to do though with visual. I have a video at PragerU which went viral, it's called "He Wants You." I made the video because I read in some British journal that vacations to beach areas caused more conflict in couples than elsewhere because the men would spend a lot of their time looking at other women at the beach in their swimsuits and bikinis. And based on that, I made this video of He Wants You. I know that it's, it's counterintuitive for a woman to think that way. Look, he's looking at all these other women, but in fact he wants you in most cases. But whether he wants you or not is usually unrelated to whether he is looking at other women. And men look at other women, whether it's at the beach or on TV, I mean, forgetting porn. That's just, now, men have to do it in a way that is not insulting. You can't sit at dinner with your wife or girlfriend and stare at every woman who walks in. I don't even like that when I'm with a guy and he does that. But it shouldn't be, in most cases, a relationship killer. So, my dear friends, I want to tell you about an amazing product, Nerve Renew. I asked them to advertise on my show. I threw away the inserts in my shoes that were made for me because of my pins and needles in my feet, and many of you have it in your hands. It worked, the inserts, because the bone was touching the nerve. After a year of Nerve Renew, which I simply discovered on the internet, I threw away the inserts after 10 years. They have a 2-week free sample and then a 1-year year money-back guarantee at nerve renew.com.

You cease to amaze me sometimes, the stupidity that comes out of your mouth.

The expression is never cease to amaze me, as you're calling me stupid.

Just, I'm just saying, about the George Floyd trial.

Quite actually, it's the Derek Chauvin trial. George Floyd is dead. As you call me stupid, just pointing out a few things here.

They had white officers, uh, answering calls to white people. Two of them had knives, and in both instances, the officers took them down without any incident. Why don't you have your research staff research that sometimes before you go around flapping your gums about, uh, slapping my gums?

Is that racist?

It seems like, uh, you just on one side of the fence all the time, the one that butters your bread, I guess. So you have a nice evening.

On one side of the fence all the time, the one that butters your bread. You have a nice evening. I will say one more time, sir.

Here's an interesting piece of data for you. We have 8 lines. They're, they're all full. That's not the interesting data. And they're Kentucky, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, California, Ohio, Florida, Florida, Florida, because Florida has more affairs. So every single call is from a male. I find that very interesting, even though two of the calls that I've had thus far were females. Number two, the ratio is 3 marriages survived and a fair. 5 didn't, of the calls that I have here. Now, why would all 8 lines be male? Is— it could be a coincidence, there's no question about it. But if it's not coincidence, why would that be? Are men more desirous of talking about it, less self-conscious about it. I, I don't know, maybe there's nothing to be learned from it. Okay, let's go. Oh my God, this is a tough one. Who? Brian in Cleveland, Ohio. Hello.

Hey, salutations, Dennis. How are you?

Thank you.

Well, well, like I told your screener, in a nutshell, my, uh, ex-wife had an affair her on me while I was deployed in the Navy. And when I come home from my 6-month deployment, she was, well, less pregnant than the amount of time to which I was gone. She was 2 and a half, 3 months pregnant by the time I had gotten home. And during your, uh, cruise, your, uh, workup, you're, you're, you're gone almost 9 months by the time, with, with the workups and a week here, 2 weeks there, and, you know, and then you finally embark on your 6-month cruise.

Right. So you came home to a pregnant wife whom you did not impregnate. And now, how did you know? Was she showing, or she just told you?

Well, it was, it was very odd because, well, you would think being gone for almost 7 months, there would be a little bit of joy to my returning. So there was nobody at the Norfolk Pier to pick me up. I ended up hitching a ride with another squad.

Oh my God. Oh, is that so?

And then, and then I got home, and to no avail, she's with her girlfriends for the weekend. And then finally when she came home She was really upset and just, I mean, just like a real crappy, uh, attitude. And I'm looking at her and I'm like, Julie, you're pregnant. And she— oh, and I'm like, you got the glow. I've already seen the glow. We have a child together. And then blah blah blah, then, well, it's not yours. Well, it's obviously not mine because I haven't been here. Wow. Yeah.

Well, uh, so, so you already had a child with her?

I'm sorry, Dennis, you broke up a little bit.

You already had a child with her?

Yes, sir.

So did she, did she carry the child to, to, to birth?

Yes, sir.

And was she in love with that child's father?

I'm not really sure because they, they ended up continuing their relationship and then, uh, they ended up having— yeah, you're breaking up together.

I'm so sorry. So, uh, yeah, okay, you broke up, so I, I'll be quick. Did they end up together? Did they end up together?

Yes, sir. And they also ended up having another child, but to whom later— you know, years later now we're talking— they're no longer together, right? And she's with yet another person to whom she's had yet another child.

Have you remarried?

Yes, sir.

Are you happy?

Yes, sir.

Good. It's good. However, I do challenge the famous notion, all's well that ends well. It's certainly better if things end well, but all's well? All's well implies that what happened in the past doesn't matter, and it goes in both directions. Not, not everything is bad that ends bad. Good memories are important and bad memories are important. The past is important. But I'm very happy for him. I gotta say, that's, that's a toughie. Your wife doesn't meet you at the pier and is staying away I mean, forget the pregnancy, just that's bad. Bad enough. All right, let's see. Got interesting stuff. David in Tampa, where I shall be next week. Hello, David.

Good day, sir. Yeah, the guy ahead of me stole my thunder a little bit. Yeah, Navy guy came home, nobody at the pier. After, uh, 6-month-long cruise at 20 years old. Got married right out of high school, 18. And, uh, when I get to the apartment, she says, I've been having an affair with the guy back in Memphis, and I'm in Jacksonville at the time, for over a year. Uh, we separated for about 6 months, apparently he put his hands on her, and she begged me to take her back. We did. We put it back together, and I have two beautiful daughters, a lawyer and a doctor. And, uh, yeah, then about 4 years ago it happened again, and I couldn't take that I understand why you're crying.

My heart goes out to you. I didn't expect that, that ending. We shall return. I'm Dennis Prager. This is the Male-Female Hour.

I had a kind of epiphany today. Maybe I'm a bit softy deep down. If you believe that, I got a bridge to sell you. But sometimes, especially— let me get personal— not when I get attacked, but even then, when it's really vituperative, when it's really despicable, I have a certain feeling. But when they attack my family, and when they've attacked my children, there's usually a point in the year where I just find myself asking a certain question, a very human question. Why do they do that? Why would you do that? To a fellow human being. And it puzzles me because I could never do that. I can be harsh. I can be very robust in what I say. Some would say aggressive, but it's not because I detest and wish to destroy human beings. I'm a rational human, and I can separate the person from the ideology, the sin from the sinner. I don't wish to destroy my fellow man. If you threaten my family, I will kill you. That is what every father and husband should be prepared to do. You try to use lethal force against somebody I love, and I will die to save them.

Did you move to LA from New York?

I moved very shortly out there after, because while I couldn't write for Letterman, I was perfect for Johnny Carson. And so I asked my now friend David Letterman, would he please send a package out to, to his connections? He's already been guest hosting that show for years, right? Whatnot.

So what happened? The Tonight Show said, nah, we're not interested.

Johnny was going through a miserable divorce. Um, and, and by the way, I I remember the very first joke because he did use some of the material I sent out. The very first joke— now you wouldn't be able to do this joke today because it's body shaming, and you have to remember the reference is, uh, I guess now '35, maybe even—

gosh, is this a Totie Fields joke or a Mama Cass Elliott joke?

Sort of, sort of. All right, remember Cornac the Magnificent?

The answer All I can say is wow. Please don't hang up. I want to read what you told the screener. It's one of those times where I feel exactly as most of of you, if not all of you, do. I wish I could just keep going. It's endlessly interesting, illuminating, honest insights into the human condition. See, I've, I've always known how tragic the human condition is, or at least can be, so These things don't shock me. I, I believe that infidelities are pretty common. Your calls are indicative of that. I've asked if your marriage survived an affair. Let me summarize the results that remain. Again, all the calls are men. Jim, Winchester, Connecticut. We did not survive. She had an affair and married her cousin. Don, Detroit. Yes, it did. It worked because my wife loved our kids more than she hated me. That's an honest assessment. I wonder if over time that changed and she hated you less, at least. Frank in Chicago. It did not survive. My wife had an affair and a child with another man. Mm-hmm. Andrew in Los Angeles did not survive even when I gave her a second chance. That's painful. Here's painful. John, only 30. Oh, you'll understand why I say only 30. Marengo, Illinois. Two marriages, both cheated on me. One survived for a while. Well, like to talk to so many of you. Jim in Naples, Florida did not survive. I never knew there was an affair until after the divorce. Well, John, Clovis, New Mexico, so far we have survived the affair, still working on it. Well, a lot of pain out there, my friends. That's why I got to give humans some slack in some areas. Here's a question. I should do a part 2 and a part 3 and a part 4 of this subject. If your spouse had an affair, do you feel that you in any way contributed to it? My friends, I thank you for calling. I thank you for listening, and we continue on The Dennis Prager Show.

A few weeks ago, we had on the man who's going to be the next mayor of New York, Curtis Sliwa. Well, I thought, you know what, we've got some friends across the pond. Why don't we see if we can find out who's going to be the next mayor of London? We figured out who it is. I'm not kidding. His name is Laurence Fox. Laurence, welcome to the program.

Hi, Eric. How are you doing?

I'm good. You're hoarse from your first stump speech, aren't you?

I am a bit. I was quite nervous doing my first stump speech, I have to say.

People don't know this. Listen, I have to frame this, and you can feel free to interrupt me, and I'm not kidding, but I want people to understand that you're initially in your life, you're an actor. You're principally known as an actor. So people want to know, why did Laurence Fox, the actor from The Acting Family, suddenly decide to go into politics and to say, "Yes, I would like to run to be the mayor of London." I mean, again, remember that most of the audience is American. They cannot fathom what's going on in London. So give us an idea for those of us who are not following the horrors of what your current mayor is doing.

Yeah, we'll get on to my current mayor.

He's dreadful.

I think the reason why I'm not acting now is because about a year and a A year and a couple of months ago, I did— I went on a TV show in England called Question Time. I went on that show and, um, I got into an argument with someone who said that I wasn't allowed a view because of my white privilege, and I said, let's not be racist to each other. That went down pretty badly. Um, so my show business career ended pretty quickly after that with the actors union and in the UK calling for me to be denounced, um, because I berated a woman of color.

On one side of the fence all the time, the one that butters your bread. You have a nice evening. I will say one more time, sir: the police kill every year more unarmed whites than they kill unarmed Blacks. Heather McDonald says that a black man is 18.5 times more likely to kill a cop, to kill a white cop, than the other way around. Is that relevant to you? The number one cause of preventable death for young white men is accidents, car accidents, drownings, things like that. Number one cause of preventable death for young black men, homicide, almost always at the hands of another young black man. The percentage of blacks who are unarmed killed by cops represents roughly 1/3 of 1% of all the blacks who are killed in this country every year. Is that at all relevant?

Even when they're not on some cable channel shock jock platform. They don't care. One of the bravest, best Americans I know was my colleague Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She's sitting there at the White House Correspondents Association annual dinner when somebody else who says she's a comedian, well, says this as she's standing next to her.

Every time Sarah steps up Sarah comes up to the podium, I get excited because I'm not really sure what we're going to get. You know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies, or divided into softball teams. It's shirts and skins, and this time don't be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta. I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful.

Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. I'm still recuperating from the male-female hour. It was so powerful. Didn't know it would be. They're all interesting, but this one was interesting and powerful. Going to another happy subject, the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis. I have as my guest, and I'm lucky to have him, I will explain why. The usual reason is he just knows what he's talking about. Andrew McCarthy, known to his thousands of friends as Andy. Andrew McCarthy, Dennis Prager, former federal prosecutor and contributing editor for National Review. And I want to thank you in advance. If there were an award for what you're doing, you should get it. And I'll tell you exactly, Andy, what I believe that it is. You are actually watching, listening, reading the trial of the police officer in Minneapolis. You are doing the work that I should be doing and I'm not. I want you to know I am acknowledging a lacuna in my responsibilities to my listeners, and I thank you for filling that hole.

Well, Dennis, thank you so much for, uh, for the kind words and for having me, and I think you're doing doing plenty of service to your listeners by doing what you're doing. Um, and somebody's got to watch this trial. Uh, it's, it's a different— I will say this, it's a different experience watching it than reading the coverage of it. And it's kind of, um, it's not like I've never done anything like this before, but I must say, when I had my own trials to prosecute, I never paid any attention to what was in the media. And since I've been more in journalism than in, uh, than in the practice of law, I've mainly relied on coverage of trials and not paid any attention to what was actually going on in the day-to-day, because like you, I have a lot of things to do and I can't just sit and watch a trial. But this time I thought it was important to watch this trial, not only because coverage is often inaccurate, but also because it seems not to matter to many people what the actual facts are. Seems like the political narrative is more important.

Okay, then let's start with the— this point, which is of overriding significance. Can you give an example or two of the difference between what actually is happening in court and what is being reported?

Yeah, I think I can. You would not know it to read the coverage, but I thought that the most important witness in the trial was a use of force expert who was kind of fronted by the prosecutors. Uh, the name, by the way, is Lieutenant Johnny Mercil. He testified Yesterday, uh, and he was— the prosecutors in the opening statement conveyed the idea pretty confidently that the use of force experts, uh, would dispense with any conceivable doubt that, uh, Chauvin killed Floyd. And I don't want to minimize the evidence against Chauvin because there's considerable evidence against him, but I don't think— Dennis, did you know that the top state use of force expert testified under oath yesterday that Derek Chauvin never put George Floyd in a chokehold.

No, I did not know that.

Yeah. So that's, that, that seems to be like a pretty big deal to me.

Wait, so wait, wait, wait. So was the prosecution unhappy they had this man as a witness?

It's, it's hard to tell. I mean, they certainly didn't You know, they had good poker faces.

Yeah, no, I understand.

But you would have thought that he was— that he had been called by Floyd, the way, uh, he was expertly examined by, uh, Eric Nelson, who is the defense attorney for, uh, for Chauvin, and who's doing an excellent job. Uh, you know, basically what, uh, he drew from Marcel is that, um, the hold that Floyd was put in by Chauvin is called a neck hold, not a chokehold. And there's an important difference between the two.

Yeah, no kidding, right?

Yeah. So a chokehold cuts off your ability to breathe, um, from, uh, you know, the thorax and basically in the front of your neck and throat, right, area. Whereas a neck hold— there are two different kinds of neck holds that are permissible under police procedures. One is called an unconscious neck hold, and that's when you're dealing with a situation where a person is using potentially deadly force against the police officer and you intentionally try to render the person unconscious. So you're not allowed to do that unless the officer's life is actually in danger. And then there's something that they call— so that's an unconscious neck hold. And then there's something that's called a conscious neck hold, which is simply something where you're not trying to get the person to lose consciousness, but you're trying to gain control over the person. And you're also allowed to do that. The idea is that you're supposed to— Once you have the person under control, then you're supposed to take some steps to make sure that their airflow is clear so that they can breathe. But I think that most people would have been quite— given what the coverage has been, most people would be, would be pretty confident that they believe that Chauvin had choked Floyd to death or that he had used holds that illegal under police practice, and neither of those two things is true.

So I told my listeners, contrary to what I said before, I do follow it but not nearly as much as you, and I watched the whole video months ago of what preceded the neck being— the knee being on the neck. I told my listeners months ago, and now the head of the police, the chief of police in Minneapolis, seems to have said the opposite. So either I was wrong, and my listeners must know that, or the police chief is being disingenuous, and I don't know which it is. But I told my listeners half a year ago that everything I read said that this was normal informative policy on the part of the Minneapolis Police Department. Was I, was I incorrect?

You mean that what, what Chauvin did was correct? Okay, um, you're, you're partially correct, um, and probably partially incorrect, although the, the scenario is still playing out and I'm I'm not trying to give a lawyerly answer. What I mean by that is the holds that he used were, uh, it's permissible to use a neck hold. And what they've said about the way that he administered it with his feet is that they don't train that, but it's— there's nothing illegal about it. So you're, you're allowed to use a neck hold. He did it in an unorthodox way, but nothing Nothing in terms of their training says that you're not allowed to do that. Now, here's where it gets difficult. When somebody is unconscious and doesn't have a pulse, the police have a duty, first of all, um, to render medical assistance, uh, if it's safe to do so under the circumstances. So the big problem that Chauvin has with that is, for the last 4 and a half minutes or so of his detention, Floyd's breathing had, had slowed down and then ceased to be evident, and they checked his pulse and he didn't have one. So there's a good argument that at that point he should have begun chest compressions if it was safe to do that. The big argument that he's going to try to make in this is that the crowd situation was such that that it was not safe to do anything other than, uh, what he did. And then the other big issue, Dennis, that they're arguing over is if Floyd was neutralized in the sense that he was not resisting, handcuffed behind the neck, um, they are supposed to at that point roll him out of a prone position because that makes it difficult to breathe and put him what they call— in what they call the side side recovery position so that he can breathe again. So those things are going to be hotly contested issues. But I think, you know, the main idea that most people have is that this police officer intentionally choked this man to death, and that simply didn't happen.

So in answer to my question, it is Minneapolis police policy, or at least not contrary to it. However, the charge will be that he went too long, right? Okay, good. I can't tell you how much clarity gives me relief. Wonderful, wonderful man, Andrew McCarthy. We will continue with him and understand more about the trial. At this time, and I will play for you a BLM threat if he is not convicted. Back in a moment.

And they are not insurgents, and we are not being invaded, which, by the way, Follow the science gets nervous because that's not how science works and never has. See the new video at prageru.com where we lead you on— Before I return to Andy McCarthy, who has been a former prosecutor and is observing the Derek Chauvin trial, I just want to tell you about something light A movie that will make you laugh, and let me tell you something, that is necessary at this time in American history. What is more remarkable is it's a church movie that's funny. And you know my love of many evangelicals in this country, but I don't associate them with knee-slapping humor. Nevertheless, that's what we have here. It's actually— executive producer is Mike Lindell of MyPillow. Got some great actors in it. It's called Church People. Will leave you laughing out loud and ultimately has a gospel message. You can stream Church People on SalemNow.com. Got a lot of fantastic movies at SalemNow.com. You should check it out regularly. That's churchpeople@salemnow.com. And it's now back to Andrew McCarthy now of National Review and former prosecutor, former prosecutor who's observing the entire trial in Minneapolis. So let me— now that I think I have more things clear. First of all, I don't think people understand, and I'm probably one of them, what exactly is he prosecuted for. Is it third degree, second degree, first degree? What is the exact charge?

There are three charges, Dennis. There are two murder charges and one manslaughter. The murder charges are both unintentional intentional homicide. There is murder in the second degree, and the theory behind that is that a person is unintentionally killed in the course of somebody committing another crime. So the theory that they're pursuing is that a certain— at a certain point, because Chauvin used excessive force, the restraint became a criminal assault and it caused Floyd's death. So they have to prove that the criminal assault was intentional, not that they intended to cause death. And that's second-degree murder. You can get, uh, 40 years for that. The second charge is third-degree murder, and the theory of that is depraved indifference to human life. That is that, uh, the officer used tactics which exhibited such an amoral, depraved— sort of the best example I remember from law school is the person who shoots a gun into a crowd, where it's indiscriminate. You're not trying to kill any particular person, but you're completely heedless of what kind of danger you put people in. So that's the— third-degree charge, and you can get up to 25 years for that. And then finally, there's manslaughter, which is negligent homicide, which is that you're not intending to cause, uh, the death of the person, but you fail in some duty of care in a, in a way that's so grossly negligent that you create a dangerous situation and death is caused. So those are the three.

And what What is the punishment for that?

I believe it's up to 10 years, but it may be less than that.

So it shows how little I know about the way courts work. What is this notion of throwing 3 different charges? What is it sort of like I get 3 chances with my darts to hit a bullseye?

Well, as a prosecutor, you're allowed to charge any offense that a rational jury could, uh, could reasonably conclude, uh, you, you proved. And it would be problematic for the prosecutors if they were charging counts that were internally inconsistent. These are really counts that are internally consistent But they hinge on questions of causation and what was going on in Chauvin's mind. So it's— there's not a lot of— I shouldn't say there's not a lot of dispute about what physically happened, because in fact there is some dispute about whether Chauvin physically sat on Floyd's neck or, as his defense is showing, and I think they're doing a very good job with this with the expert witnesses, that he really put pressure between the shoulder blades and touched on the neck, but not in a way that would have inhibited Floyd's breathing, which is a very important issue in the case. But you're allowed to charge things that are, that are consistent and that end up giving the jury multiple grounds.

Andrew McCarthy, will the defense claim that if Derek Chauvin had done nothing, the amount of fentanyl in George Floyd's bloodstream would have killed him anyway?

Yes.

And I think, Dennis, you've hit on something that turns out to be very important because the prosecutor in the opening— this is not a place you want to be as the prosecutor. He basically said that, yes, it's true that Floyd may have had so much fentanyl in his system that it would have killed a normal person, but because he was a drug abuser for so long, he had built up a tolerance to it. That's really not—

I mean, that's absurd.

It's not where you want to be.

Oh, so that— so how does the jury decide?

They're going to hear a lot of experts I think in the coming days they're going to get a lot of medical expert testimony on the issue of causation.

I'm putting you on the spot, and you have perfect right to say you don't know or you'll decide later. In your heart right now, do you think that Derek Chauvin killed him?

Not in the sense of murder. I think I think there's a pretty good manslaughter case. I think there's a very weak depraved indifference to human life case. And the question of whether the force was so excessive that it should be criminal assault for purposes of murder in the second degree, I think that's what the case is really going to come down to. And that's a tough call right now.

I'm sorry, what's the tough call? Whether it's second-degree murder or manslaughter?

Whether it's excessive force that rises to the level of, of, of second-degree murder, criminal assault. If they can prove this is a criminal assault, Dennis, then they're most of the way home to proving second-degree murder. Oddly, I think the proof of second-degree murder now is stronger than third-degree murder. I actually think third-degree second-degree murder is, um, frivolous almost at this point.

I mean, the depraved indifference charge?

Cool. Yeah, I think there's enough evidence that, uh, Chauvin did not do the, you know, worst-case scenario that's been described in the political narrative. There wasn't choking. He didn't, um, you know, the way he applied this neck hold, it was not something that was against police procedure. One more question.

Can I keep calling on you?

Yeah, of course, you can call me anytime, my friend.

Holy crow, that, that's great. We got to find out if he smokes cigars. I got to send him a gift.

Did you move to LA from New York?

I moved very shortly out there after, because while I couldn't write for Letterman, I was perfect for Johnny Carson. And so I asked my now friend David Letterman, would he please send a package out to, to his connections. He's already been guest hosting that show for years and whatnot.

So what happened? The Tonight Show said, nah, we're not interested.

Johnny was going through a miserable divorce. Um, and, and by the way, I, I remember the very first joke because he did use some of the material I sent out. The very first joke— now you wouldn't be able to do this joke today because it's body shaming, and you have to remember the reference is, uh, I guess now 35, maybe even—

gosh, is this a Totie Fields joke or a Mama Cass Elliott joke?

Sort of. Sort of. All right, remember Karnak the Magnificent? The answer is, the answer is hip hip hooray. The question: describe Liz Taylor putting on her jeans.

That is a great joke. What do you mean you can't do a joke like that today? That is a great joke. You just did it on this program. I love it. Hip hip. So has that ever appeared anywhere?

Um, yes, every time I'm on the air.

Every time you're on the air. Hip hip hooray. When you write a joke like that, that's like a— I think Dick Cavett's first major joke was, what, what, there's a new restaurant and it's Chinese-German. The only problem is an hour after you eat there, you're hungry for power.

That's a stupid joke.

That's a stupid joke, but I mean, anyway, okay, so hip hip hooray.

Can I tell a slightly off-color joke?

If you don't, we'll be offended.

Biden makes these assertions about this Georgia law. Says you can't give people water. Says it shrinks voting hours, both of which are lies. Now, as you know, a man who now lives in Florida was dogged for 4 years with a running tab by one of the major newspapers about all the lies he tells. Biden tells this big Massive lies. Does them quietly. Doesn't scream or yell. Media doesn't say a damn thing. Now, is that because the media doesn't know he's lying or doesn't care? Biden said, and Nancy Pelosi just reiterated it yesterday, that 83%— notice it's never 82, never 84, it's always 83. 83% of the Trump tax cuts went to the top 1%. It's a lie. FactCheck.org says it's not true. That's a left-wing organization run by the Annenberg Foundation. That's also left-wing, the Annenberg Center. PolitiFact, also run by a left-wing organization, said it's not true. Washington Post The Washington Post, as you know, has not endorsed a Republican for president in its entire history. That's how left-wing they are. They said it's not true. The left claimed the top 1% are undertaxed. It's a lie. My point is Biden says these things.

This is a teacher-student dialogue of a Zoom class in Virginia.

I watched a video about half a year ago, which I don't know why every American who gives a hoot about the trial— and many Americans do and should because it's been made such a big deal— It actually should not have been a big deal. It's completely created by the people who wish to create racial division in this country, which is the left. The latest is Asian Americans, the newest victim group who should hate whites, even though more Asian Americans have been attacked by blacks than by whites. I don't know if that fact has ever been reported in the New York Times, which generally omits facts that offend the Democratic Party. I watched this video, and you should all see it. I assume it's still available on the internet, of everything that preceded the knee on the side of the neck, how long they were decent to George Floyd, begging him basically to please enter the police car, but he wouldn't, and he was a very big and strong man, very muscular. I don't think he was wearing a shirt, so you could see a lot of his muscles. And it wouldn't go in the police car. He was physically resisting arrest. So that's when they just— they, they put him on the ground and they immobilized him with the knee. To the best of my knowledge, people do not get asphyxiated when there is a knee on the side of the neck. It's not the breathing area. Now, having said that, as I, as I spoke to Andrew McCarthy, I'm— I clarified the issue is not whether he did it, that is, Chauvin, and whether that was wrong. It's whether he did it too long. And that's the open question that I don't have an answer to. Here's— but the other question: if he didn't have fentanyl on him, would he have died? I don't believe he would have. So that's a very big deal. Uh, please play the BLM, Sean, the BLM spokesman making this comment yesterday.

Don't be surprised when buildings are on fire. Just saying.

That's Maya Echols, E-C-H-O-L-S, a BLM activist. Now, I don't know what city she set it in, but the mayor of that city and the governor of of that state should say, if buildings are on fire, those who caused those fires will be hurt. Get that message? Is that clear to you?

Don't be surprised when buildings are on fire.

That's right. And you shouldn't be surprised when the people who set those fires are not gently dealt with. That's what a civilized society answers. But The New York Times, CNN, Democratic Party, Coca-Cola, Delta, they're all ensuring that the thugs who set the fire are regarded as victims and not thugs. The thugs are the people who say they're thugs. Kind of the sick, sick, morally sick world that the left has created and the cowards have followed. Like Major League Baseball is not a racist thing at all in the Atlanta and the Georgia law. It's a gigantic lie. They only lie. They lie all the time. Since Lenin, from Lenin to the Times, they just lie. What am I going to tell you? I point it out almost every day. They dwarf the lies of Donald Trump. Donald Trump's law of being a liar was like the January 6th invasion of the Capitol being an insurrection. The left uses everything they can to justify the squelching of liberty that is at the core of all leftism. That's all you're seeing. 1-800-PRAGER-776.

I had a kind of epiphany today. Maybe I'm a big softie deep down. If you believe that, I got a bridge to sell you. But sometimes, especially— let me get personal— not when I get attacked, but even then, when it's really vituperative, when it's really despicable, I have a certain feeling. But when they attack my family, and when they've attacked my children, there's usually a point in the year where I just find myself asking a certain question, a very human question. Why do they do that? Why would you do that to a fellow human being? And it puzzles me because I could never do that. I can be harsh, I can be very robust in what I say, some would say aggressive, but it's not because I detest and wish to destroy human beings. I'm a rational human, and I can separate the person from the ideology, the sin from the sinner. I don't wish to destroy my fellow man. If you threaten my family, I will kill you. That is what every father and husband should be prepared to do. You try to use lethal force against somebody I love, And I will die to save them.

I moved very shortly after, after, because Well, I couldn't write for Letterman. I was perfect for Johnny Carson. And so I asked my now friend David Letterman, would he please send a package out to his connections? He's already been guest hosting that show for years and whatnot.

gosh, is this a Totie Fields joke or a Mama Cass Elliott joke?

Sort of, sort of. All right, remember Cornac the Magnificent? The answer is—

the answer I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm going to take some of your calls. What I want right now is one of the, uh, I want the double N double L jingle of your name I told you at our Passover meal, your jingles were actually a subject of discussion. So these jingles are entering the holy. And I want to just say to my listeners, you guys got to send me more jingles. I use them. And you know, from "If nothing's horrific, life is terrific," which is one of the most important things you could ever know about life, to this. That was made in Manitoba? That's cool. What we need is a jingle from Macedonia. Don't you agree? By the way, why did I say Macedonia? There are two reasons. One is this was one of the truly memorable moments of my show. A young man called the show from— was it Croatia, I think, or Serbia? Serbia? I mean, it's a terrible thing to make a mistake between the two, but I don't remember. It was one of the two. And I said, how did you hear about my show? He said, oh, my friend in Macedonia. Now, I'm dying to talk to the friend in Macedonia because I'm going to ask him, how did you hear about the show? And he's going to say, oh, my friend in Chad. And then, you know, just go around the world and end up with some guy in Brooklyn who started the whole thing. Well, anyway, there's another reason Macedonia is the only European country I have not been to. Europe has the most countries of any continent, if I'm not mistaken. I think, I think Africa has 40, but I think Europe has more. All right, 1-800-PRAGER-776. Steve, I told you to hang on and you did. Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, Steve.

Yes, I want to go back to— you were talking about the conversation between Governor Hutchinson and Tucker Carlson. Dennis Prager and the topic of, uh, it's transgenders. And I, I agree with you. I believe that government should put more stumbling blocks in the way of kids that are dealing with this type of a thing and help them to not be able to do anything drastic until they've had some more time to think about it some counsel. But it's also a very anguishing topic for all the people involved, family and even the child themselves. It's, you know, I don't— I think some of them go full steam ahead. And yes, this is who I am and this is what I want. But a lot of them wrestle with it. And all the more reason to slow them down from doing anything that they'll regret as they get older.

That's right. Uh, you have this in your family?

Yes. Yes.

Who exactly?

Uh, a grandchild.

Who is how old?

Uh, a teenager.

Exactly how old?

17. 17.

And born he or she?

She.

So this is the, uh, this is the Abigail Shrier belief that this is overwhelmingly happening to teenage girls who say that they're really boys. When, when did your biological granddaughter first state that she was a he?

Uh, it's been a couple couple of years.

But just a couple of years, and we're talking about— I mean, had I spoken to this person 5 years ago at the age of 12 and said, are you a boy or a girl, what would the answer have been? A girl, without hesitation.

Yeah.

And, um, did your granddaughter have other psychological issues?

No, uh, one of the smartest kids you'll ever meet.

Uh, well, smart has nothing to do with psychologically healthy, but I understand what you're saying. I just, just want to make that point.

So nothing—

so this was sudden?

Um, that I'm not sure where. I think there were, you know, there may have been some trauma in her life that caused her, I'll say, train to come off the rails, so to say. But I think parents and medical professionals and the religious community have a piece in helping kids navigate the perils that are out there in life today.

Well, you're not allowed— you're only allowed to navigate them in one direction. Affirming, affirming the change. Does she want her breasts removed?

Uh, she's headed that direction. Yeah, yeah, that's, uh, that's the direction that she's going.

And how, how is your child and daughter or son-in-law reacting?

Um, not as, uh They're dealing with it about as well as they can, I think.

You know, well, what I meant— all right, so I'll be specific. Are they, are they 100% supportive of her, him, or have they tried to say, you know, please consider this a phase and many have gone through this, and if you do anything life-altering, it's not changeable In other words, has there been, honey, we, we love you, and that's all we want to add, or honey, we love you and we'd like to counsel you to go slowly?

That's what's going on there. There's efforts being made to slow the process down.

Thank God for that.

Yeah, I'm, I'm available to try and, uh, encourage her to, uh, take her time.

Okay, my friend, good luck to you and your family.

Coca-Cola cowards read the damn bill. It doesn't suppress anybody unless you're of the mindset, you know, if you're black, you're too dumb to figure out how to get ID to vote. That's suppression because we know how black people are. You know how brown people are. They're not intelligent enough to get an ID put together. They can't go down to the DMV, or they can't figure out a way to get just a state ID. They're, no, no, they can't. We can't expect our poor black friends to do that. That's the left. That's the mindset. That's the thinking of Democrats. Now, Ed Bastian's company, Delta, won't be so forgiving for somebody who's too ignorant to get an ID and let them get on their plane. Because you can't fly Delta without a photo ID, a legitimate ID. But don't you dare expect a black or brown Georgian to be smart enough to figure out how to produce an ID when they vote. That's suppression.

No.

That's not suppression. That's idiocy. That is stupidity at the highest level, and everybody knows it. So good for the Georgia state legislature for pushing back and telling Delta to go stick it in your ear. They ought to say the same thing, they ought to do the same thing to Coca-Cola, to Home Depot, to any of these companies who are playing this pitiful game of lying about the Georgia election integrity law. They are lies.

Even when they're not on some cable channel shock jock platform. They don't care. One of the bravest, best Americans I know was my colleague Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She's sitting there at the White House Correspondents Association annual dinner when somebody else who says she's a comedian, well, says this as she's standing next to her.

Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited because I'm not really sure what we're gonna get. You know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies, or divided into softball teams. It's shirts and skins, and this time don't be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta. I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful. Like, she burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like, maybe she's born with it.

Time for a correction. I used to have a jingle for that— correction, correction, correction— but it never caught on. For good reason, I might add. Nevertheless, Africa does have the most countries.

I want—

oh, it's— yes, you know, first you did me a service, then you did me a disservice. Africa has the most, 54. See, I've been to 20 and I thought I was in half. It's pathetic that I've only been to 20. I have not been to Algeria. I have been to Angola. I have not been— wait, I was in Benin. I was in Botswana. I have not been to Burkina Faso. All right, and then Asia is second with 48. I've been to most of them. Oh, and then Europe is third. Europe has 51, and I'm just missing— I've been to 50 of the 51. That is cool, man. Including San Marino, Bosnia and Herzegovina, right? Herzegovina, right? Okay, y'all, it is what it is, and it is what it is. Alrighty, everybody, let's see. This is awesome. Let's end on a light note. CJ in Columbus, Ohio. Hello.

Hello, Mr. Prager. Hi, how are you?

More important, tell us all Why you're calling.

Well, I'm listening to you on the radio while I'm driving home every day, and you mentioned Macedonia, and by coincidence, I'm a truly born Macedonian.

Yes, I love it. You know, so it's really—

it's—

I am embarrassed to talk to you because it's the only European country I haven't visited.

So we'll go together.

We'll go together.

You know, the time is over.

Am I allowed to say yes to such an offer?

Yes, you gotta meet such beautiful people.

I'm from Bitola, Macedonia, and I'm living in Columbus, Ohio. My USA is my second home.

So what is your, what is your language? Is it Greek or is there a Macedonian Macedonian language.

No, no, no, no, we don't have nothing with Greeks. It's truly Macedonian language, uh, made from, uh, we got our Cyrillic alphabet.

Um, oh, it is a Cyrillic. Oh, I can read it then. I read that because I read Russian. Okay, good.

We have 31 letters and it's created by, uh, brothers Kiril and Metodios.

All right, are you ready? Here goes. Say in Macedonian I love the Dennis Prager Show.

God bless you.
