The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

Everybody, Dennis Prager here. Welcome to the show. I didn't think I'd be on time. I got a ticket. Gotten a ticket in about 15 years. Officer said I was doing 52 in a 35-mile-per-hour zone. I'm sure none of you can relate to that, especially when it is a 6-lane avenue or boulevard and it's normative. It's the way life goes, you know. It's sort of a lottery thing. It has not impacted my general happiness level, but it's so arbitrary that you wonder, at least I do, is it a matter of an officer's Nature, personality, is there a quota? Anyway, just reflecting. I talked to you about my life. It is what it is, and life is good. At least my life is good. A lot of lives are not. It's one of the painful realizations that I made in high school and has never left me. The most disturbing thing that I have confronted, not in my personal life, but in life, is that my assumption that people loathe evil is not universal, not nearly universal. I would say that the good are loathed as much as the evil on planet Earth. Such as my vision of the human condition. That America and Israel are loathed by vast numbers of people and China and Iran are not is just— is a perfect example. The left embodies everything that is wrong in the human condition. Liberals do not embody that, they just enable that. It's a different story. I mean, think about it, right? The good are loathed more than the bad. What does that tell you about the human condition? You know, I defend God's decision in my commentary on the Bible, The Rational Bible. 2 of the 5 volumes are out. The 3rd volume is coming out in a couple of months. And I defend God's decision to destroy the world except for Noah and his family. God wants people to be good. If they're all bad, he's gonna start over. I, uh, that's the kind of God I want. Indeed it is. My column got some play this week, that the best thing you could do for the country is take your child out of school. The, let's see, where is the LA Times here thing? The New York Times, here it is. This is an example of the, of what the New York Times value system is, and you may love it. The boys in their summer dresses, gender fluidity enters its next phase. As men increasingly step out in skirts and frocks. Really? Now, when it says gender fluidity increasingly is increasing, have you seen a guy in a skirt recently? So they're writing it in order to normatize it, if there is a word, normalize it. That's what they're doing. I was in New York too. I didn't see it in New York. Is it happening at the New York Times headquarters? Now here's a very, very good example of a conflict between the left and the Bible. The Bible has a law that a man should not wear women's clothing. It's not about transgender. It's about the new term cisgender. Men identifying as men should not wear women's clothing. Those of us who are committed to biblical ideals and not left-wing ideals are committed to the notion that men and women are different, should celebrate their differences, and should not blur them. That the world is a better place where men look like men and women look like women. It is an amazing thing that that is controversial. But if you send your kid to any regular school today, private or public, the odds are they will be taught that anybody who said what I just said is a hater. And you will still send your kids there because it's the easier thing. I meet all these parents who were blindsided by school, but you will not be blindsided. See, that's the difference. You have been warned. My heart goes out to you. You should be able to send your kid to school and not worry that everything good about them will be perverted. Yet you have every reason to have that worry. You can deny it all you like. Some parents are fighting back. God bless them. An amazing thing. Where was the woman? It was just a woman. Where would I read it? She, she has been fighting. At these expensive schools. That's why I tell you all the time, I always add private as much as public. This is not just the public school issue, what is happening to your kids. Oh my God, the New York Times. I didn't know how New York Times, how woke it was. It goes Mix Sinclair, MX. Did you see that in the article? It seems fairly unlikely that when Irwin Schorr wrote The Girls in Their Summer Dresses, his classic paean to a million wonderful women all over the city, Drifting along the pavement as warm breezes tugged at their hems, he could have envisioned a day when those girls would as likely be men. Sexist and dated as Shaw's much-anthologized 1939 story may be, it's sexist to speak of women in skirts. It's a great story, by the way. Everybody should read it, my producer says. It did lay out truths about urban existence and the unalloyed joy of looking. Those pleasures largely withheld over the last 16 months have returned as we venture forth from our caves. To the delighted surprise of at least one observer, a considerable number of us apparently used the time in confinement to rethink some shibboleths. About who gets to wear what. Koa Sinclair— K-H-O-A— you have any idea if that's male or female? I don't. Treated lockdown as a time of experimentation, a chance to push a style already liberated from rigid binary conventions. See, that's what they want to do— liberate from rigid binary conventions. The New York Times is, is the enemy of the Judeo-Christian value system. And it's not even an attack on it. It's a description of a fact. It shows you the emptiness of their lives. They need a cause. It is now a cause to get men to wear women's clothing. It's a cause. They think, at the New York Times, they believe they are doing something good. Koa Sinclair treated the lockdown as a time of experimentation, a chance to push a style already liberated from rigid binary conventions. I like rigid binary conventions, that men wear men's clothing and women wear women's clothing. Into the realm of next-level femininity. So there was Mix Sinclair. I guess we don't want to know the sex of Koa Sinclair. 26. On a recent warm afternoon, sauntering through Domino Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, slick forelock curled in an anime flip, inked arms emerging from the sleeves of a sinuous Issey Miyake pleated dress. For the longest time, people were so stuck on being one way or the other. Why is that bad? Mix Sinclair said, referring to Waning gender dress codes. Waning. They're waning, according to the New York Times. Queer people have been playing with this for a long time, but now you see a lot of guys in dresses that don't identify as all that feminine. What does that mean, don't identify as all that feminine? Then why are you wearing dresses? Is it masculine? Question: Is Mix Sinclair queer, to use their terminology? Would a heterosexual man who wants to attract women think that wearing a dress is gonna do it? Women, if you date, would you like such a man?

Turning now to the Charlie Kirk Show.

What makes the current ruling class in America different? My other very good friend who also does a great job at Breitbart.com has a new book out called Breaking the News. Alex Marlow, he filled in for us last week. I encourage all of you to check out that book, Breaking the News. Alex Marlow has been teasing this for months. Saying that there is a new George Soros, saying that there's a new person on the scene that is spending just massive sums of money, almost unfathomable amounts of money, to try and remake America in the image that they so desire. I've been trying to get it out of Alex for months of who this person is, but he was very disciplined. I got to give Alex credit. He said, nope, I am not going to tell you who this person is.

So I know these— this year has been tough for you, but it's not like Mike Lindell, you know, has failed to survive challenges in the past. It isn't like you haven't faced adversity before.

Right.

It's almost like God prepared me for such a time as this. You know, I have faced different, so many things in my life. It's in my book, What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO. And I think that's also what gives my employees and all my family, it gives them confidence because I have such confidence. I'm never going to give up. When things that I believe in, I'm going to stand firm. I'm not going to I'm not going to buckle up to the, to the cancel culture and the pressure. And, and, and that's where, you know, you just, you could, great things come out of things when, you know, you look back and things in life, I look back and things that happened to me, I look back at, wow, if that, if that hadn't happened, I might not be where I'm at now. So, right. You know, I look back and I use those things as, as they were character builders. Yeah.

And, you know, and by the way, and by the way, you want to, I want people to know, to read about your story and your character. This book, What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO, uh, you were gracious enough to let us auction off some of these books for the, uh, the signed books for our Prison Fellowship, uh, Angel Tree campaign to send kids to summer camp. These are the children of prisoners in America who for $200 are sponsored for an entire week to go to summer camp, not only to play, to be outside with other kids, but also hear the gospel, learn the message of God's love Mike, our listeners have donated over $175,000 to send these kids to summer camp in the last couple of weeks, and your book helped play a part in that.

So Laureen Powell Jobs, or Lauren, whatever, however she pronounces her name. She is now, according to Alex Marlow, editor of Breitbart.com, the new George Soros, pumping millions and millions of dollars towards social leftist activist causes. And so I want to be very clear, she does not want to destroy America. She wants it to be hers. And it's not just her. There is an entire network of Jeff Bezos to Zuckerberg, of these oligarchs that are pumping in billions of dollars. Mark Zuckerberg put $400 million through the Center for Technology and Civic Life into this.

And while we're on the topic of fathers, there's a terrific film out, The Streets Were My Father, The Streets Were My Father, about gang members who had no fathers and so the gang became their father. And it is about two things, the need for fathers, it's a very touching film, the need for fathers and the way out of fatherlessness through God, through faith in God, an affirmation of God. It's the opposite of where your kids are going to school, this movie. In most cases, it's an important and inspirational film. Takes place in inner-city Chicago.

Salemnow.com. Where was this piece in the New York Times? Is it in the front page, middle page, huh? Don't know. Yeah, look it up. I'm very curious. An ode to men wearing skirts and dresses. We don't want that old-fashioned binary notion. I look at pictures from America prior to the '60s. I wonder what young people think of it where all the girls at school were in skirts or dresses the boys were dressed correspondingly masculine. What do they, what do they think that's old-fashioned? Such an interesting term, old-fashioned. Does old-fashioned— doesn't tell you if it's good or bad, does it? It is old-fashioned because the new fashion is to blur the distinction between male and female. Male. Are humans happier when there is no such distinction? Is that a fair question to ask? Or are a very tiny percentage of humans who, for whatever reason, do not define themselves in a binary fashion— do we, do we destroy one of the most significant distinctions in the world? Because a tiny number of people do not fit the distinction or do not want to fit it. Apparently we do. In that regard, let's see here, the Secretary of Education— because so many Americans voted for Joe Biden, this is what we're getting. It's from ESPN. U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona backs transgender athletes' right There you go. U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona told ESPN that transgender girls have a right to compete and suggested that the Biden administration will step in to protect those students' civil rights as multiple states enact legislation banning transgender athletes from competing in girls' and women's sports. On June 1st, the first day of Pride Month— oh, I got some questions about Pride Month. The ubiquity of Pride Month is beyond anything one could imagine. There are breakfast cereals with the colors of Pride Month, and you should see what Microsoft— Microsoft has really gone gaga over their web browser Bing has the colors all over the website. There's an interesting question here. There are no, to the best of my knowledge, there are no laws against being gay. No, none. Gay people marry one another. It's actually probably in some, in some instances advantageous to say you're gay because if you're not straight, that's an advantage. And it's an interesting question, the whole issue of Pride. If you are something that you didn't choose choose? Why are you proud of it? We're told that gay is not a choice, and in many cases it isn't. I agree, actually. But I don't understand why you're proud of it. So it's an interesting term, the word pride. But it's an anachronism today where there's so little discrimination against gays. It's really sort of an anachronism. I know a lot of gays. Gay on the board of directors of PragerU. My wife and I are godparents to a gay couple's children. They, they think this gay pride stuff actually demeans them. They, they wouldn't, they wouldn't be seen within 100 miles of a gay pride parade. This is not their lives. It's the New York Times and Microsoft celebration of it. But this transgender competition, that's the one that that this, this proves that all they wish to do is destroy. There is nothing moral or fair about a biological man competing against biological women. Nothing whatsoever. That's a— that is so obvious that you have to be on the left, which is an alternate view of the universe. Us to believe this. So by electing Joe Biden, we have a Secretary of Education who thinks it's a great thing we're protecting transgender rights. We do have a responsibility to protect the civil rights of students, and if we feel the civil rights are being violated, we will act. Our LGBTQ students have endured more harassment than most other groups. It's critically important that we stand with them and give them opportunities to engage in what every other child can engage in without harassment. Do they even— is there a voice in a guy like Cardona that says, you know, maybe it isn't fair if a biological male weightlifter competes in the Olympics in the women's division? Or do they not acknowledge on the left? They might not, because science is meaningless when it comes up to doctrine, left-wing doctrine. But do they not acknowledge that males are stronger than females? I know what they'll answer: 'Oh, what are you talking about? Oh my God, my wife or my sister, she is so much stronger than I.' And that's it. And that ends the issue of "Are men stronger than women?" Brought to you by A Dose of Reality. What young people are expected to believe today that has nothing to do with reality is new in history. Streaming on Salem Now. As Galileans, we witnessed his first miracle.

Can you discuss that, please? It's to do with contract law, correct?

Right.

So there's this case, United States versus Throckmorton, and there was a, uh, in that opinion, the phrase fraud vitiates everything, which basically says we go back to square one. And the idea of that is that if you and I enter into a contract and I approach this in bad faith and there is fraud when I'm signing— yes, before—

it's like a marriage contract in the Catholic faith. If you go in as a woman Knowing that I'm never going to have children and not telling your husband, that is a reason to nullify the wedding as if it never actually occurred.

So people are saying never as if it never occurred.

So now they're saying, well, applies to the election, right?

So I want to get through a very important piece of news that happened. The Pelosi Commission. So for the last couple of months, Nancy Pelosi, I think, has been intentionally slow walking this. I think that Nancy Pelosi has been intentionally dragging her feet for months because Nancy Pelosi wanted a commission to look into January 6th, despite the fact that every single department of law enforcement right now is looking into it.

It.

She wanted this to be a later authorized commission, so it would go into the election year of 2022 and hurt Republicans. So she intentionally— she did not want this to be an overnight thing. So she pretended as if she was negotiating with Republicans on this commission. And the more information that we get about January 6th, the more it looks like an interruption, not an insurrection. And I'm not supporting the smashing of windows or the assaulting of police officers. You lay your hand on a police officer You should go to prison for a very long time. I'm not minimizing that. At the same time, who killed Ashli Babbitt? And why were there no charges against the person that fired a shot at Ashli Babbitt, who was unarmed? I thought that was the big mantra of BLM Incorporated. So for months now, Republicans have been negotiating with Nancy Pelosi. When I say Republicans, I mean, someone who is not even a Republican, someone who voted for impeachment. And so the, the commission is supposed to be like a 9/11-style commission to look into the January 6th incident.

But we all Alright everybody, Dennis Prager with you here. I began the show with something I'd like to develop for just a moment. The good are hated at least as much as the bad. That's the human condition, which is very troubling, obviously. And I gave the example of, on the one hand, Israel and the United States, and on the other hand, China and Iran. This sick, perverted administration that currently directs America, the administration whose president takes every opportunity to say what a miserable, disgusting country he's the president of. This is unprecedented, I think, in any country's history, not just American history. Joe Biden is a disgrace. You, you voted for a disgrace if you voted for Joe Biden. Of course you'll say, well, of course Donald Trump was a disgrace. In fact, There's no comparison. No comparison. Joe Biden is destructive of this country, and Donald Trump actually did make America better. The world was better, and America was better because he was president. You can't stand him? Take your feelings and pickle them. I never ask, do I like a president? That is among the most childish questions one can ask. Who gives a damn whether I like a president? Do soldiers ask, "Do I like my general?" Or do they ask, "Does he help win the war for us?" That is the only important question, not "Do I like him?" We live in the age of feelings. So for the narcissistic, "Do I like Donald Trump?" is unbelievably significant. "I can't stand that man. Oh, the way he talks about women. Oh, the way he talks in general. Oh, his tweets." Some of which, by the way, I can't stand either. So what? This disgraceful administration. Administration. America is systemically racist. This Blinken goes around the world saying, oh, we have to tell the world how awful we are to have any— to be taken seriously when we talk about others' human rights. Really? Well, it's a lie to begin with. We're not a racist country. I know the lie catches on, just like the non-binary lie catches on. If the left says something enough and it's repeated by every left-wing channel, which is everything except for talk radio and, and the, and Fox News and the various terrific websites that we have, then people start to believe it. Just remember though, the good are hated. Anti-Semitism was a perfect example of the good hated. Jews, Jews, Jews, that's such a tiny element of society, but they had pretty good home lives, and they're sort of like In terms of family life today, for example, Mormons, LDS, they're pretty known for having a good family life. Now they're not hated, thank God, but they were, they certainly were at the outset. But the lack of antipathy to Iran Those who do not hate evil enable evil. That's, uh, that's a rule of life, my friends. That's why my favorite verse in the Bible is, 'Those of you who love God must hate evil.' That's my kind of God, man. You love him, you hate evil. How could you not hate evil? Something's wrong with you if you don't hate evil. People deliberately do horrible things to other people, and how do you feel toward them? I'm going to have a video coming out of PragerU. When is it coming out, you think? This summer? The one we're filming today, yeah. In August? On unconditional love. I've done some Ultimate Issues hours on it. I mean, when it comes out we'll do it again. Nerve Renew is a product I suggested advertise on my show because I have had this congenital thing of tingling and numbness weakness in feet, some have it in hands, some have it in both. And I actually had a pretty workable cure, or at least something that relieved the pain, with inserts in my feet— excuse me, in my shoes. Did that for about 10 years, read about Nerve Renew, threw away the inserts, and 8 months I'd like you to try it if that's what you have. 2 weeks free try, 1 year— I never heard of this, they really have this— money-back guarantee.

Hi everybody, you're listening to the Dennis Prager Show. John in Los Angeles, hello. John in Los Angeles. Carlos, hello. Hello. Hi.

Hey, good morning, Dennis. Um, I think you're, uh, too simplistic in your, uh, talking about what's happening with the Palestinian state and with Israel. I think there's a lot to blame. I think when you say evil, it's just too simplistic, your thinking. Um, in their mind, the Israelis are occupiers. It's no different than other people coming to the US and finding their territory because they have money.

So in what way are the Palestinians even wrong?

The Palestinians are wrong because they should recognize Israel as a state, but also Israel also has to give some retribution for taking their land and also try to work with them instead of just trying to impose their belief and also—

So do you believe that a Jewish state can exist in the Middle East?

Of course, of course it can.

Well, then why isn't Israel right then? You have Israel's position that there were 22 Arab states and and the Jews have returned to where they've lived for 3,000 years. So where is Israel wrong?

Well, they should— one of the things that they have been fighting about is territory that they say belongs to them. So they should really—

Wait, wait, wait, I'm not clear. One of the things who's fighting about and the territory belongs to whom?

Uh, the Palestinians.

What territory belongs to Palestinians? Did I lose you? I lost him. That's weird. I don't think he hung up. I just think it got disconnected. You think he hung up? So that's an interesting position. Israel does have a right to exist as a Jewish state, but it's wrong. So it's wrong in what? In occupying the West Bank? But it— 5 times it tried to give up the West Bank and give the Palestinians a state, and they only ended up with blown-up children. The Palestinians don't want a state. They want to destroy the Jewish state. State. That's Hamas's outlook. When they went to Camp David under President Clinton, President Clinton said Arafat is the one who blew up the Accords. In the history of the modern world, there is no example of a battle between a free state and an authoritarian state where the free state wanted war and the authoritarian state wanted peace. You have to literally invert reality to see Israel as the villain and the Palestinians as the good guys. But, but the left does invert reality, and that's the New York Times specialty, as you were— as it— you— as you would have it. Yes indeed, my friends. New York subway crime surge continues. Why, why is there no price paid for for the defund police movement on the left? Why isn't every decent or even semi-clear-thinking American repulsed by the Democratic Party for all its mayors and governors who have told us to reimagine policing? Who, if you call 911, you get a social worker worker. Is that what you would like? Who blame a policeman for killing a woman about to stab another woman, a girl about to stab another girl. The media is so disgusting. It is such a sick world that we, we live if you believe media. Every time a white a white policeman, which is very rare, kills an unarmed black, it's extremely rare, every time the first thing you hear is white policeman. But every day, literally every day, I read in some news feed, usually the Daily Mail, I read about a black attacking an Asian American, or a white beating them up or killing them, but they're never identified as black. Let me ask you a question. On pure statistics, if you are black, are you more likely to be killed— you're an innocent black, are you more likely to be killed by a white? Or if you're an innocent white, are you more likely to be killed by a black? Everybody listening to this show knows the answer to that But nobody talks about it because the left controls the lie of white racism. And so this subverts the lie. I was listening to a broadcast today. I'll tell you exactly which— the one preceding me in Los Angeles, The Morning Answer. They're talking about a woman who was just— was filling her gas, 7 PM, somewhere in the LA area recently, and she just got beaten up. It's on film. I don't know the race of the person who beat her up. I don't know her race. But anyway, and one of the hosts was saying, you know, you gotta follow your instinct. If you're, if you're a little, you know, if you're frightened, back up or even run away. But of course, if somebody saw a bunch of black males approaching them at a gas station and backed up or ran away, they'd be called racist. You can't follow that advice. So I'm asking statistically, which race has more to fear physically from the other race? Everyone knows the answer, but everybody lies about it. The left is the world of the lie. The day you realize that from Russian collusion to race is a very liberating day, because the truth shall set you free. Streaming on Salem Now. As Galileans, we witnessed his first miracle.

California woman brutally beaten at gas station pump in apparent random attack, and it's all on video. Woman is pumping gas, a Hispanic woman as it happens, and a black guy goes over and, uh, and the description is he was shirtless When she was on the ground, the suspect repeatedly punched her in the head and face, the sheriff's department said. He also grabbed the victim's hair and slammed her head against the car and onto the ground. 7 o'clock at night, never knew him, nothing. She was just pumping gas. Nowhere in the article does it mention that he is Black, and it is never mentioned even though it is disproportionately the case, because the media lie and lie again. They lie so often by omission as much as by commission, and the left lies, and they control virtually all conduits of information. So you have this vision of endangered Blacks. Oh, I'm afraid to send my kid out be stopped by a cop. I think white parents have more reason to fear being hurt by a random black attacker than blacks have a fear of being hurt by a white, including a policeman. That's just a statistical fact. But there isn't one kid in one college who has heard what I just said. Colleges lie with the ease with which you breathe. Breathe, because truth is not a left-wing value. Never has been, never will be. Every so often you get people from the left or from liberalism who come to the conservative side and realize, wow, they care about truth in the conservative side. It's, it's like, it's an amazing thing. I meet these people personally and I read them. One of the most amazing things to them is how nice people on the right are. One of the greatest videos we ever put out is of a Democrat in New Hampshire, a woman who just out of curiosity decided to go to a Trump rally in New Hampshire. And she— her friends told her to take some men with her to guard her. It became known she was a Democrat, she would be hurt. She was treated so well and the people were so kind. It had an enormous impact on her life. That's why they don't want you to know us, hear us, see us, or listen to us, because we will have an enormous impact on your life.

So I know these— this year has been tough for you, but it's not like Mike Lindell you know, has failed to, to survive challenges in the past. It isn't like you haven't faced adversity before, right?

It's, uh, it's almost like God prepared me for such a time as this. Um, you know, I, I have faced different, uh, so many things in my life. It's in my book, What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO. And, and, uh, I think that's also what gives my employees and, and the— and all my family, it gives them confidence because I have such confidence. I'm not gonna I'm never going to give up on things that I believe in. I'm going to stand firm. I'm not going to buckle up to the cancel culture and the pressure. And that's where, you know, great things come out of things. You know, you look back on things in life. I look back on things that happened to me. I look back and go, wow, if that hadn't happened, I might not be where I'm at now. So, you know, I look back and I use those things as as they were character builders, you know.

Yeah, yeah.

And, uh, you know, and by the way, and by the way, you, you want to— I want people to know, to read about your, your story and your character. This book, What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO, uh, you were gracious enough to let us auction off some of these books for the, uh, the signed books for our Prison Fellowship, uh, Angel Tree campaign to send kids to summer camp. These are the children of prisoners in America who, for $200 are sponsored for an entire week to go to summer camp, not only to play, to be outside with other kids, but also hear the gospel, learn the message of God's love. Uh, Mike, our listeners have donated over $175,000 to send these kids to summer camp in the last couple of weeks, and, and your book helped play a part in that.

So Laurene Powell Jobs or Lauren, whatever, however she pronounces her name. She is now, according to Alex Marlow, editor of Breitbart.com, the new George Soros, pumping millions and millions of dollars Towards social leftist activist causes. And so I want to be very clear, she does not want to destroy America. She wants it to be hers. And it's not just her. There is an entire network of Jeff Bezos to Zuckerberg, of these oligarchs that are pumping in billions of dollars. Mark Zuckerberg put $400 million to the Center for Technology and Civic Life into this last election. $400 million. Jeff Bezos, with his play money, owns the Washington Post, which propagandizes you and your children through Apple News. Thank you, Laurene Powell Jobs. So what you have here is a technology ecosystem that has been built through businesses of largely unearned wealth. Now, Some could say that Jeff Bezos earned his wealth. I think that's probably somewhat true. Do I think that he gamed the US Postal Service? Yes. Do I think that he misleads the type of company he is? He's just a server company that loses money intentionally to take over other small businesses. But I think there's something fundamentally different about making massive sums of money in this new technology era and the ways that people made money in the early 1900s, 1950s, and 1980s. You see, technology has led to fast, immediate wealth creation.

QAnon is dead. Q is completely discredited. But there are still people say there's a plan and he can come back to be president before 2024. I have almost utter certitude, 95%, that he's going to run in 2024. And given the last 4 months, I don't mean to laugh. I think it'll be a shoo-in. He'll walk back into the White House if we do our job when it comes to election integrity. But to those who are saying he can be president now, that he can come back and he can take over the last 3.5 years of Biden's term, there is no— there's not— there's no process. There's no entity. It's not the Supreme Court. It's not a magic electoral— there is no functional scenario under which that happens, is there, Jenna?

Correct. And it is very unfortunate. And I have to preface I want to preface this by saying I understand the utter frustration and the injustice of it all, and I am just as mad as everyone else. But what we have to understand is that we are a nation of rules and our supreme law of the land is the US Constitution. And because the Constitution provides that the Electoral College is our mechanism of selecting the president, the Electoral College voted, that was certified legitimately. So when you have a sitting president and his name right now is Joe Biden, then the only way to remove a sitting president is through the impeachment and conviction process. And even if that happened to Joe Biden, which we know politically it won't, even if in hypothetical theory land that happened, the line of succession then under the 25th Amendment would trigger. And so you— there's no scenario by which you take an outside person, put somebody else, put someone else.

Hi everybody, this is the Male-Female Hour on the Dennis Prager Show, every Wednesday. Why did I pick Wednesday? Because it has the word "wed" in it. People have often asked, why is Male-Female Hour on Wednesday, and now you know, Wed-nes-day. Thank you, thank you so much. Dizzying might be accurate. What I just said earlier would cause dizziness in many people. Ladies and gentlemen, the Male-Female Hour is the most honest talk about men and women. Of which I am aware in the major media. And it comes with one agenda. It is not pro-man and it is not pro-woman. It is pro-men and women understanding each other and getting along better. I have a question for you today. It's a question.

My—

My topic is in the form of a question, probably one that most people never thought of. And here goes. Do you think that— talking now not about you, talking about the, the large thing known as society— do you think, or better, which spouse do you think will treat their spouse better? The one who believes that their spouse will never divorce for religious or psychological or values reasons, whatever they may be, or Or the spouse who believes that their spouse, under certain circumstances, would divorce? Is my question clear? I'm going to repeat it. Which spouse is more likely to treat their spouse well? The spouse that believes that their spouse No matter what, will never divorce, or the spouse that believes that under certain circumstances their spouse would divorce? This is a very provocative question, I fully admit it, because there are people who believe that the option of divorce should never be on the table. And I, by the way, I have great respect for these people who believe, listen, under no circumstances short of, I don't even know short of what. I certainly don't think that an infidelity should automatically lead to a divorce, so I don't know the short of what. I guess short of being beaten up, but anyway, that would help answer the question, wouldn't it, that I posed. But there are people who say, you know, there's— we will just work it out. Divorce is not an option. It's a very— I think it's a very lovely, admirable attitude. So on the other hand, there are people who believe, you know what, a certain level of mistreatment will lead to my leaving the marriage. Marriage. And my question to you is, who is more likely to be treated well? The person who has announced that I will never divorce, or the person who does not make such an announcement? 1-800-PRAEGER-776-877-243-7776. I, I think realistically, and It seems to me that if you can take your spouse's staying in the marriage for granted, you, you might be more likely to abuse that fact than to be ennobled by it. I think that of everything See, if a spouse says, "There's no way I will ever divorce," then aren't they also saying, "There really are no consequences to how you treat me"? But nobody listening really wants to have that as the message. There's a lot of spousal abuse. I don't mean beating up. There's just a lot of spousal abuse on Earth. Human beings are a very mixed bag. A lot of people mistreat their spouses verbally, through omission, commission. In the arenas of abuse are almost endless. You could abuse their money. Could abuse their, uh, them as human beings. And so why would one want to hold as an ideal that no matter how much I am abused, I will not divorce? It's a very thought-provoking question. I will tell you what led me to this topic today. That is that my next video for PragerU will be on unconditional love, an idea that I have no sympathy for. And I have no idea where it originated. I found it nowhere in the Old or New Testaments. I found the opposite, in fact. And I don't like the idea because I believe everything should be conditional. I think whether love should be conditional, I think fidelity should be, or staying in a marriage should be conditional. I believe that salaries should be conditional. What do you think of the idea, no matter how crappily you work for me, I will continue to give you your salary? Nobody listening thinks that's a good idea, right? Why not? Because knowing you could lose your job or lose your salary Actually, in, in 99.99999% of cases, has people work better, right? You know you can't be fired, you will not work as hard. That is just the way it works. That's human. Doesn't make you bad. But if you can't be fired in a marriage, why will you work hard. Now, you might anyway. There are people who will work hard for their employer even if they know they'll never be fired. There are such people. They are just driven by a wonderful internal mechanism to be a great worker, right? Most people, however, need to believe there are consequences to their slackening as an employee. Employee. And I think that that is true in a marriage as well. I think it is true everywhere in life. The message, no matter what you do, there will not be consequences, means that people will do a lot of things that are not good. 1-800-DENNIS-PRAGER, 776-777-7777. What's our timing, Mr. Engineer, Tech Director, Technical Director Triple G? I don't want to interrupt you, so I'm going to start taking calls when we return.

Hey folks, I'm talking to Kevin McCullough. Tell us, what did you make of Kamala Harris when she posted, have a great weekend or something like that? The way I take it sometimes is, I don't want to be like the left. When the people on the left say something really stupid, I don't wanna pile on as though they're the devil. So when she said, "Have a nice weekend," we know it's because she's ignorant and it's bad as the vice president not to understand what Memorial Day is all about. But I kind of feel like I almost don't know what do I expect from these people? That she's never given a thought to Memorial Day, I don't think.

No, I don't think so. And I think that she's a pragmatist in almost every area of life. I think she takes opportunities to advance herself. You know, even on this one post, it was a picture, it was a selfie, and she was with a selfie saying, "Enjoy a long weekend." Whereas my wife, who has a brother who is in forward duty right now, I have two deceased grandfathers who were World War II Navy. I've got 4 uncles who were in Vietnam and Korea. I've got a couple of cousins that served in Iraq. We view this weekend much differently than someone like Kamala, who I don't think ever served, has any desire to know much about service. Whether it was flippant or whether it was sarcastic or whether it was intended to be just thoughtless, I think any of those things are problematic because what you're talking about is a nation that really does pay respect to its fallen war dead and says, we are only free today because of what you did in that moment.

I don't need lots of audits. I don't need forensic evidence by the bucketload. All I need to know is that in the 4 key battleground states, President Trump was winning before they stopped counting the votes. Then the GOP poll watchers were escorted out of the building, and magically, a few hours later, when the voting started up again, those leads were somehow lost.

Lost.

And on top of that, we have governors across the nation who have, have arrogated to themselves the constitutional duties of the state legislatures and changed election law unconstitutionally. As such, as such, the last election was fatally flawed, whatever the audits give us in minutiae. Is that a— you're the lawyer, you're the constitutional law professor. Have I missed any take pieces out?

Not at all. And the two words that I repeatedly said to the state legislatures were irredeemably compromised.

Yes.

And what that means is that they didn't need any more information than what they already had in the short weeks in the aftermath of November 3rd to recognize that the elections were irredeemably compromised. And as such, their obligation, their duty, their responsibility under the Constitution, their plenary authority, meaning exclusive, absolute, sole, not the gov, not permission from the governor or the state secretary. Their sole textual responsibility and obligation and power from the text of the US Constitution is to the state legislatures to select the manner of the delegates to the Electoral College.

Hey everybody, this is the male-female hour because it's Wednesday and it's the second hour of the show. I have a provocative question. I don't normally describe questions I raise this is provocative, but this is, and it's meant to provoke, by the way, not to provoke anger. It's meant to provoke thought. And that is, what's better for a marriage? One in which one or both spouses announce, under no conditions will we get divorced, will I divorce you, or one where that is not said? As you will have inferred, I, I worry about any time people are rewarded no matter how bad their behavior. That's why I am 100% opposed to unconditional love and unconditional anything. I don't understand unconditional anything. I don't. And I don't— I don't— it's not that I don't I should be more precise. I oppose it. Let's be really direct here. I don't believe in unconditional salaries. None of you do, I assume. Well, that's not true. There is a big movement for guaranteed basic income. You don't have to work, we'll pay you anyway. I guess a lot of people yearn for unconditional everything. No matter how I treat you, you won't divorce me. No matter how I act, God and man will still love me. Not my cup of tea. All right, I had a terrific call from from somebody that I was going to take. That was sad. Somebody said they've actually experienced that. Is line 1 working, Sean? Do you want to check if line 1 is working? All right, let's see. All right, let's go to Don in Clarksville, Tennessee. Hello, Don of Clarksville.

Hi Dennis, thanks for taking my call.

Thank you for calling.

So I believe it would be more virtuous for the spouse to want to honor God, who hates divorce and would rather— knowing that God only allowed for the hardness of one's heart for divorce to occur, and I don't believe that the motivation motivation for my staying in that marriage as a result of knowing that would be one of either servile fear— that is, uh-oh, I better mind my P's and Q's or she's gonna out me— or one that trusts her, that, wow, you mean to tell me she's actually gonna forgive me for what I just did? That is amazing. And if you allow me two examples, Sure, go ahead. One is, you mentioned the other day you were talking about divorce and you were talking about it being a person remaining in a marriage. You mentioned slavery or you mentioned bondage. I would submit to you that the person who remains in prison because he doesn't want to reveal secrets of the United States of America is one for a higher a goal or a higher value, willing to put himself under bondage for a greater good. You're always speaking about that, right?

What is the greater good?

The greater good is that, that bond you've made before God, that you would not break that covenant. And the greater good could also be that you would want to remain there for the betterment of your children. I think that's actually a greater goal as and your own self-serving interests.

All right, listen, you're a good man. You're obviously a good man. I respect every word you said, and in some cases it works. I am involved very deeply in religious life, both Jewish and Christian. It's a very rare life in that way and other ways. And I wish that deep religiosity guaranteed a good marriage, but almost everybody listening who is religious knows that that's not necessarily the case. Even people who share values may not get along. Values is like oxygen. You can't live without shared values. You can't live without oxygen. But oxygen is not enough. You need nitrogen. You need hydrogen. You need food. You need a lot of things to live. And a marriage needs a lot of things. Shared values is not enough. Shared values is is essential, but not enough. This may simply be a theological difference. As I said, I am one of the greatest proponents living today of Judeo-Christian values. Look on the internet, I actually give example after example of what Judeo-Christian values are. I don't just use the term. I give example after example of what Judeo-Christian values are. Type in Dennis Prager Judeo-Christian values. I devoted about 6 or 10 columns some years ago to defining it. Having said that, on rare occasion there may be a difference. I'm talking obviously as it difference between Jewish and Christian theologically. There's a difference between Protestant and Catholic theologically. But values Catholics and Protestants share, and so do Jews, Catholics, and Protestants. But this may be an example, the attitude toward divorce in the Old Testament than the New Testament. The line that God hates divorce, one line out of the prophets, can be certainly compared to God hates war. Right? There's no question God hates war. Sometimes war is necessary. I, I worry about spouses taking the— about a spouse, any spouse taking their spouse for granted. I don't like people taking anything for granted. Do you know why America is now in danger of being lost as America? I mean serious danger, existential danger, because Because we took it for granted. That's why. People thought you can't lose America. You can't lose free speech. It was like just embedded into our souls. Anything you take for granted, you'll lose. And then all of a sudden, you might know what you had. Okay, let's see here. Anyways, an important call, that's why I started with it. And Anonymous in Northern California, the famous Anonymous of Northern California.

Hello, Dennis.

Hi. Uh-oh, one minute, stay with me.

Trending now on America First with Sebastian Burke.

Can you discuss that, please? It's to do with contract law, correct?

Right. So there's this case, United States versus Throckmorton, and there was a, uh, in that opinion the phrase fraud vitiates everything, which basically says we go back to square one. And the idea of that is that if you and I enter into a contract and I approach this in bad faith and there is fraud—

when I'm signing—

when—

yes, before—

it's like a marriage contract in the Catholic faith. If you go in as a woman knowing that I'm never going to have children and not telling your husband, that is a reason to nullify the wedding and as if it never actually occurred.

So people are saying never as if it never occurred.

So now they're saying, well, it applies to the election, right?

So I want to get through to a very important piece of news that happened. The Pelosi Commission. So for the last couple of months, Nancy Pelosi, I think, has been intentionally slow walking this. I think that Nancy Pelosi has been intentionally dragging her feet for months because Nancy Pelosi wanted a commission to look into January 6th, despite the fact that every single department of law enforcement right now is looking into it. She wanted this to be a later authorized commission, so it would go into the election year of 2022 and hurt Republicans. So she intentionally— she did not want this to be an overnight thing. So she pretended as if she was negotiating with Republicans on this commission. And the more information that we get about January 6th, the more it looks like an interruption, not an insurrection. And I'm not supporting the smashing of windows or the assaulting of police officers. You lay your hand on a police officer you should go to prison for a very long time. I'm not minimizing that. At the same time, who killed Ashli Babbitt? And why were there no charges against the person that fired a shot at Ashli Babbitt, who was unarmed? I thought that was the big mantra of BLM Incorporated. So for months now, Republicans have been negotiating with Nancy Pelosi. When I say Republicans, I mean, someone who is not even a Republican, someone who voted for impeachment. And so the commission is supposed to be like a 9/11-style commission to look into the January 6th incident. But we all know how these things happen. This would be a Mueller-style counsel. That would be a roaming prosecutor.

Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. The Male-Female Hour, Wednesday, second hour. Provocative question: which is more healthful for a marriage? Which will lead to more good conduct on the part of both spouses? A marriage in which at least one spouse announces there's no— divorce is not an option, or where in a a spouse believes the, the other spouse, if they really mistreat, if spouse A mistreats spouse B enough, there will, there will in fact be a divorce. Anonymous, thank you for holding on in Northern California. Hello.

Hello, Dennis. Yep, uh, long time First time, right?

I like that.

Um, yeah, I got my wife hooked onto your show with your Happiness Hour, which we record on the podcast. And, uh, on a long trip, we listened to the Happiness Hour on a 15-hour drive.

Wow.

And that got her hooked on, uh, Dennis Prager, and she is an avid listener now, which is why I prefer to remain anonymous. This phone call.

Well, hello, Mrs. Anonymous.

Um, I somewhat agree but mostly kind of disagree with your point about the divorce here. I think you need to start with the premise of divorce is not an option and let it maybe get to the point where it does become an option. I'm gonna give an example from my own life. Intimate relations with my wife became untenable due to medical reasons, and if divorce was on the table for me, you know, that might have been a reason. Oh, I'm just gonna divorce you, you know. That's—

well, I would consider consider you, uh, having done something awful if you divorced your wife because medical conditions prevented intimacy? I'm talking about mistreatment. I'm not talking about bad luck.

Well, and like I said, that's if you start from the premise of it's not an option and let it get to that point. And for some, some people, that point may be different.

Right.

Okay.

So, uh, that's why I pretty, I pretty much isolated it to mistreatment, which maybe I should narrow my question better. I thought I said this, but I may not have been fully clear because I've never asked the question before. So I'm learning, as it were, on the fly how to phrase it best. Who is more likely to mistreat a spouse? One who thinks that the other spouse will never divorce, or one who thinks that the other spouse can be driven to divorce?

In that definition, I would agree with you. I do have a slight disagreement with you on the other part of your topic today about unconditional anything.

Yeah.

And another one from my own personal life is unconditional forgiveness. Now, I'm not saying it's in all cases. I'm just saying in some circumstances, unconditional forgiveness can be effective.

No, I don't believe you believe in unconditional forgiveness. The condition— you have a condition. I am certain that the— repentance matches the crime.

Well, that's what I'm saying. It's—

if you're— if your funds were embezzled by a partner, you lost all of your money because your partner cheated, and then, uh, you are bereft of your money, and then they say, you know, I really am sorry about what I did, so that should be an unconditional forgive? They don't have to pay you back?

Well, like I said, I have an example from my own life that I can give you.

Okay.

Okay. Um, my— a long time ago, my grandmother was, um, taken from my life in a car accident. And the person who happened to be the driver of the other car, who was intoxicated and ran a stop sign um, happened to be some great player on an NFL, okay? And the newspapers in my hometown, they were completely sympathetic to his predicament and almost dismissive of the life that was my grandmother's. And I carried that hate for him and the paper around for a long, long time, and it was eating me up. Okay, I don't even know this man. I've never even met him, but I hated him. Okay, and I had to give that forgiveness to him.

Yeah, but he— well, I don't agree with you because he never— he, he never engaged in penitence. Oh, that's a biggie on my part. It— God doesn't forgive you if you don't ask for penitence.

That was my second guess. All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here, Male-Female Hour. And I, I said at the beginning it was a provocative question. It is meant to provoke thought. Which spouse is more likely to treat his or her spouse well? The one who thinks that spouse B will never divorce, or the one who thinks that with a certain level of mistreatment or simply ignoring the marriage, the person might divorce. I am not a fan of unconditional anything, and this is an example of it. Okay, Georgia in Brooklyn. Now that is truly confusing. Because I'll bet there's a Brooklyn in Georgia. Hi there, Georgia.

Hi, Dennis. It's such a pleasure to speak with you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Where do you live? By the way, where do you live in Brooklyn?

Well, now I'm in Bay Ridge, but I used to be in the Kings Highway section, and I went to Brooklyn College.

Kings Highway in what?

East 12th Street.

I grew up 2 blocks from Kings Highway on East 27th Street.

Well, I've seen you on the campus at Brooklyn College.

You did? I never showed up. I missed almost every class.

Well, me too.

You caught me on one of those rare days. I didn't even show up at the graduation. I'll tell you, there was one class, seriously, there was one class I went to and I never missed my Russian class. Oh, Fran Parker was my teacher. She was one of the greatest teachers I ever had. Okay, go ahead. What's on your mind, Georgia?

Well, well, this is my opinion about the question. I think a person who is, uh, declared, you know, themselves as a person who would never divorce is more susceptible to becoming an spouse. But I think there's a money factor involved in all marriages. I think the other spouse would hesitate to lose their other spouse at any cost if there's a big money, you know.

Oh, okay. Well, that— all right, that, that's, that's another issue. And, and you're— of course that plays a role. But all right, so here is a vote. Georgia in Brooklyn votes votes for it's— you're more likely to be mistreated if you— if your position is you will never divorce. All right, and let's see here. Thomas in South Mountain Lake, Virginia, known as SML.

Hello, Dennis.

Hi, Thomas.

Hello. Hi there. I think you're, um, I think I agree with the previous caller. Um, if, um, if there's no condition at all for divorce, uh, you're likely to be abused. And I was of that, uh, opinion, if you will, a while back. And, um, I thought some things were going wrong in my particular case in my marriage, and, um, my thought was was if I file for divorce and separate myself, if she repents and says, okay, I, you know, uh, forgive me or whatever, then I would definitely— and I've heard of other couples doing this, they divorce and they remarried once, twice, sometimes even three times. Um, but what I found out was after I divorced, I found out that she had a prior relationship with somebody Well, she had a relationship with someone prior to my filing for divorce and actually had a covenant marriage, a private covenant marriage with this person. And I didn't know until after I decided to leave and I found all kinds of paperwork filed in local court.

She was married to two men?

Not legally.

No, I would say morally because she had papers and stuff. So it implies that. It was like, to me it was—

Yes. Well, well, what it is is you can file anything you want, apparently, from what I understand, in the local court system. Uh, but that does not mean it's legal.

Yeah. Okay. That's fair. So, all right. Anyway, you're a vote for it being an option, divorce being an option as creating a better behavior.

I think it just, it agrees with human nature.

Yeah, I do too. If you know you can never lose something, the chances of your treasuring it are not usually as great. God, you know, I listen to '50s rock and roll. Why was there— is a song like that? Oh, what are the words? Oh, you never know what you have until you lose it. Find it, Sean. Will you— there's a song about "Until You Lose It." It would be awesome to play that before the hour is over. It so corresponds to my thinking on this issue. Walter, Springville, Kansas. Hello, Walter. Okay, hold on.

Hi, Dennis Prager.

Well done. There you go. All right, is this perfect? I'm telling you, there was more wisdom in '50s rock and roll and '40s big band and jazz lyrics than at Harvard philosophy department. I really— I believe that. I am absolutely— just that you don't know what you've got until you lose it. That's right. That's, that, that's the theme of this hour.

Tuning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.

So I want to get through a very important piece of news that happened. The Pelosi Commission. So for the last couple of months, Nancy Pelosi, I think, has been intentionally slow walking this. I think that Nancy Pelosi has been intentionally dragging her feet for months because Nancy Pelosi wanted a commission to look into January 6th, despite the fact that every single department of law enforcement right now is looking into to it. She wanted this to be a later authorized commission, so it would go into the election year of 2022 and hurt Republicans. So she intentionally— she did not want this to be an overnight thing. So she pretended as if she was negotiating with Republicans on this commission. And the more information that we get about January 6th, the more it looks like an interruption, not an insurrection. And I'm not supporting the smashing of windows or the assaulting of police officers. You lay your hand on a police officer you should go to prison for a very long time. I'm not minimizing that. At the same time, who killed Ashli Babbitt? And why were there no charges against the person that fired a shot at Ashli Babbitt, who was unarmed? I thought that was the big mantra of BLM Incorporated. So for months now, Republicans have been negotiating with Nancy Pelosi. When I say Republicans, I mean, someone who is not even a Republican, someone who voted for impeachment. And so the commission is supposed to be like a 9/11-style commission to look into the January 6th incident. But we all know how these things happen. This would be a Mueller-style counsel. That would be a roaming prosecutor.

Hey folks, I'm talking to Kevin McCullough. Tell us, what did you make of Kamala Harris when she posted, have a great weekend, or something like that? The way I take it sometimes is, I don't want to be like the left. When the people on the left say something really stupid, I don't wanna pile on as though they're the devil. So when she said, "Have a nice weekend," we know it's because she's ignorant and it's bad as the vice president not to understand what Memorial Day is all about. But I kinda feel like, I almost don't know what do I expect from these people? That she's never given a thought to Memorial Day, I don't think. Think?

No, I don't think so. And, uh, I think this Mm-hmm.

Hello everybody, Dennis Prager here. So much good stuff coming out of you. I never pay patronize people because it's a form of disrespect to do so. The left patronizes blacks and Hispanics and women and gays. They don't treat them as real, but I treat you as real. So the compliment that I'm about to say is very real. I have learned an immense amount from callers. In the course of my 35 years of broadcasting. Okay, not to say every call is brilliant, but I have learned a great amount from many. Back to South— no, no, back to, excuse me, Springfield— Springville, Kansas. Walter, hello.

It's actually Spring Hill, Kansas. That's okay.

That's bad. It's not okay. No, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.

Uh, uh, you're good.

I, I I declare I'm good, but the, the screener made a boo-boo.

That's okay. Well, I, I have to agree.

Now, Walter, I don't want you to feel guilty that you caused that. Go ahead.

Well, I have to agree with you. Marriage is like anything else in life. It has has to be conditional. Uh, for instance, if I'd be a very wealthy man if there were no consequences for robbing a bank, because I would be hitting banks every day. But there has to be consequences. And I love my wife dearly. There are days where I don't like her very much. She may not like me very much. But because of the love and respect that we have for each other, it's the condition make you work harder to make the marriage work.

In other words, you, you, you each know you could lose the other.

Exactly.

Thank you. That was the word I was hoping for. Exactly. That is the mature way to look at life, my friends. My wife and I love each other very much and respect each other very I love her very much, but it doesn't occur to me that therefore I have— that no matter how I would treat her, she would stay. It doesn't even occur to me, and it shouldn't. You know my favorite verb, my friends? Earn. I want to earn my wife's love and respect every day. That's a good thing.

Can you discuss that, please? It's to do with contract law, correct?

Right. So there's There was this case, United States v. Throckmorton, and there was a— in that opinion, the phrase "fraud vitiates everything," which basically says we go back to square one. And the idea of that is that if you and I enter into a contract, and I approach this in bad faith, and there is fraud—

When I'm signing it?

Yes, before—

at the beginning.

It's like a marriage contract in the Catholic faith. If you go in as a woman knowing that I'm never going to have children, and not telling your husband, happened, that is a reason to nullify the wedding as if it never actually occurred.

No, I don't think so. And I think that she's a pragmatist in almost every area of life. I think she takes opportunities to advance herself. You know, even on this one post, it was a picture, it was a selfie, and she was with a selfie saying, "Enjoy a long weekend." Whereas my wife, who has a brother who is in forward duty right now, I have two deceased grandfathers who were World War II Navy, I've got 4 uncles who were in Vietnam and Korea. I've got a couple of cousins that served in Iraq. We view this weekend much differently than someone like Kamala, who I don't think ever served, has any desire to know much about service. Whether it was flippant or whether it was sarcastic or whether it was intended to be just thoughtless, I think any of those things are problematic because what you're talking about is a nation that really does pay respect to its fallen war dead and says, we are only free today because of what you did in that moment.

I don't need lots of audits. I don't need forensic evidence by the bucketload. All I need to know is that in the 4 key battleground states, President Trump was winning before they stopped counting the votes. Then the GOP poll watchers were escorted out of the building, and magically, a few hours later, when the voting started up again, those leads were were somehow lost. And on top of that, we have governors across the nation who have arrogated to themselves the constitutional duties of the state legislatures and changed election law unconstitutionally. As such, as such, the last election was fatally flawed, whatever the audits give us in minutiae. Is that a— you're the lawyer, you're the constitutional law professor. Have I missed any big pieces out?

Not at all. And the two words that I repeatedly said to the state legislators were irredeemably compromised.

Yes.

And what that means is that they Hello, my friends.

Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show. Do you still believe believe that fact-checkers are committed to facts in light of all of the dismissals of those who had said that the flu— excuse me, the virus— had begun at a lab, right? Conspiratorial. How many times did YouTube take down or Facebook YouTube take down, or Twitter take down an account because they said that it looked like the virus had begun in a lab? How many times did that happen? Best of my knowledge, many. The reason that Donald Trump, This is what I— I didn't say that. I don't think I said this during the Trump era, but now that there— he is no longer president, perhaps it has a greater chance of being received. The reason for the vast number of charges, like the thousands documented, quote unquote, quote, thousands of lies documented in the Washington Post. The reason was because it's an— it has been the left's modus operandi to create gigantic smokescreens to hide exactly what they're doing. Truth is not a left-wing value, so just constantly speak about the lies as the country was bathing in a 2-year lie about Russian collusion with the Trump campaign in the 2016 election. That lie went as truth, a lie bigger than any alleged lie Donald Trump ever told. But if you own the media and you use to create smokescreens, then all you get is Donald Trump is a liar, Donald Trump is a liar. You can still see, actually, when I was on Bill Maher's show— what is, what is Bill Maher's— not called Politically Incorrect. What is Bill Maher's show called? Real Time. Yeah, so I was on Real Time with Bill Maher October before the lockdown. And you could still see it, and they spoke about— he and the others spoke about how much Donald Trump lied. And I said— I was the only conservative on the show, and to Bill Maher's credit, I was invited. He's one of the only people on the left, but he's really a liberal rather than a leftist. Most of his attacks recently have been against the left, and incredibly powerfully. You should hear him take on Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times on Israel. I played it on the air, it was so impressive. Anyway, I said on the show that no lie that Donald Trump has allegedly told compares to the lies of the left. And of course, "Wow, what are you talking about?" I said, "Well, America's racist is a gigantic lie. It's a gigantic— it's a libel, it's a lie." Men menstruate. And of course, I've told you this, then they all started laughing at me. You realize that this is less than 2 years ago and people were laughing at me. They thought I had made up the idiocy that there are people who say men menstruate. Today, if you deny men menstruate, this is less than 2 years later. You know how quickly what the left says becomes the truth? Only acceptable way of thinking. The speed is astonishing. I have living proof that I was laughed at when I said that there are people who said— you have the clip there— when I said people believe men menstruate, I was laughed at. And Bill Maher said, who, who says that? Here it goes. Donald Trump is not right-wing or conservative. Donald Trump is Donald Trump. Okay. The left wing— I'll tell you what it means.

I'll tell you what it means.

The left wing is infinitely larger than one person. I don't choose one left-wing person who tells a lie. The left wing says— I'll give you gigantic lies— that the United States is a racist country. This is a lie. This is a gargantuan lie. Sanctuarine lie. This is the least racist, multicultural, multiethnic country in the history of the world. That these people believe it is proof to me about how effective lying can be. This is an unbelievably non-racist country. Have you people been to Asia? Do you people know that the Japanese did not allow one Vietnamese boat person into Japan because they're not Japanese? We allowed them into America.

America. What is that?

We're better than the Japanese. We are less racist than any country with many races. It is a lie. You could still have some that have ever been documented. Of course there's—

I'm a Jew.

Okay, there are anti-Semites in America. It is a giant lie that America is anti-Semitic. I taught Jewish history at Brooklyn College. I know it. I wrote two books on Judaism. This is the least anti-Semitic country country Jews have ever lived in. To say America is anti-Semitic is a lie. To say it is racist is a lie. Okay, these are giant left-wing lies. We're talking about degrees. To say that men can menstruate is a lie, and that is now— that is what is said. You hear the laughter? This is October 2019, folks. Check it out. Anyone who says a man cannot menstruate considered transphobic. I missed this whole story. That's right. Right. You understand the speed with which left-wing nonsense becomes normative? The speed— this is October. What you heard was October 2019. That is well under 2 years 2 years ago. I never heard this story, Dennis. Bill Maher, who's very aware of what is going on in society. The audience, what are you talking— they laughed at me. You heard it. Like I was a nut. By the way, you are a nut if you say men menstruate. But if you say today, under 2 years later, that men don't menstruate, you're a hater. This is why I have said for years now, I have learned something I never knew in a lifetime of the study of totalitarianism. I believed until I don't know when, maybe 5 years ago, 10 years ago, I believed that only in a totalitarian state can, can the media brainwash people. And I was, I was 100% wrong. Even in a free country, the media can brainwash a people. And that is what you're seeing in the West generally, and, and seeing here. If this is not an example of brainwash that in October 2019, a national audience laughs at the idea that men menstruate, and by June of 2021, it is not only not laughable, but should you laugh at the idea, you are dismissed as transphobic, a term which nobody ever heard in their lives prior to about 3 years ago, and which is now normative. People are— their— what is it? Their chains are yanked and they just go exactly like puppy dogs wherever the media chains yank them, or the college chains yank them. Those of us who have not been yanked by the New York Times and TV and CNN, etc., the critical thing is to not allow our words out as much as possible. The left fears us tremendously because they deep down know there's nothing inside their balloon. And conservatives are pins. The biggest balloon can be burst by the smallest pin. And that's what we are. We're pins to their balloons. I have, uh, offered to debate or to arrange debates. I would pay many— I would pay— I would get $10,000, if not more, raised to have Charles Blow debate Larry Elder. Charles Blow would never debate a black conservative. His columns are vapid. Columns in the New York Times, they're just hate America, hate America, America's racist, every single column. Why won't he debate a black who doesn't think that way about America?

What makes the current ruling class in America different? My other very good friend who also does a great job at Breitbart.com has a new book out called Breaking the News. Alex Marlow, he filled in for us last week. I encourage all of you to check out that book, Breaking the News. Alex Marlow has been teasing this for months, saying that there is a new George Soros, saying that there's a new person on the scene that is spending just massive sums of money, almost unfathomable amounts of money, to try and remake America in the image that they so desire. I've been trying to get it out of Alex for months of who this person is, but he was very disciplined.

I guess. All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here. I have one of my favorite people on the line, Jason Riley, who is a fellow at one of my favorite institutes, the Manhattan Institute. And a columnist for my favorite paper, The Wall Street Journal. How do you like that? And I sort of feel like I'm moving into his house. You and I have been talking now a lot. Jason Riley, welcome back. Jason Riley and I just did an hour for Book TV on this really important book he's written titled Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell. So Jason, welcome back into my life.

Thank you for having me. Good to be with you again.

Right. So let's imagine that it's an entirely new audience.

Okay.

And don't, don't worry about— well, I said that to you, Dennis, when we were on Book TV. So let's begin with Thomas Sowell. So just let me tell my listeners, Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest thinkers of any color in the last 50 years. Is that fair to say, by the way, Jason?

Oh, absolutely. In my estimation, absolutely.

And yet, what percentage— and I have my young woman that I call the Harvard heretic. She's in the studio. I'm gonna ask her, Julie, what percentage of students at Harvard do you think ever heard of Thomas Sowell? 1%. How do you explain that, Jason?

I think, to use today's language, Sowell was canceled a long time ago in the early 1970s when he started weighing in on racial controversies. And black elites and liberal elites in general didn't like what he was saying about the direction of the civil rights movement, about things like racial preferences. They didn't like his critiques, and they made it clear to people in the media and elsewhere that Thomas Sowell was persona non grata. He was not to be engaged on these issues. He did not speak for blacks, and I think it started back then, and it's cost Tom in terms of prestige and notoriety. And it's one reason today that far more people know who Ibram Kendi is or Ta-Nehisi Coates or Cornel West and don't know who Thomas Sowell is, even though his scholarship is far more far-ranging, far more voluminous than they theirs, maybe all of theirs put together, frankly. But he is not as well known, and it's one of the reasons I wanted to write the book.

Did you interview him for the book?

Oh yes, I interviewed him a number of times. I've interviewed him a number of times over the years, and specifically for the book, I did a lot of additional interviews, long-form interviews with him for the book.

So Right, good. So how does he handle the spectacular unfairness of the, the issue of fame in his, in his life?

I, I don't think it bothers him. He didn't— he doesn't do what he, what he does for recognition, for personal recognition. He, he wants his ideas to get out there and circulate and be part of the conversation. But he's not interested in personal notoriety. So I don't think it bothers him that it's more difficult for him to get his ideas out there because there are too few people willing to pay attention to what he's saying or to engage. But personal recognition is not what he's in this for. I mean, he knows that the people who hand out the academic awards and intellectual circles and prizes and so forth don't want to have anything to do with him, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with them either. And he'll tell— you know, he's more interested in truth than popularity.

No, there's no question about that. Yeah.

Yeah.

But let me say this. On his behalf and on the country's behalf, it is a spectacular indictment of the media and the intelligentsia that this man is not the best-known, or one of the 2, 3 best-known thinkers of our time.

It is, it is. And like I said, he's, one thing that's really disturbing is that Tom has distinguished himself by doing something that should be common among our scholars and our intellectuals, which is simply telling the truth.

Right.

Well, simply weighing the evidence, using logic and reason, following the facts where they lead, and reporting your findings, even when those findings are unpopular or politically incorrect. So it's also an indictment that simply doing that has distinguished Thomas Sowell as one of our great public intellectuals. It's something we should expect of all of our intellectuals, but it is in fact rare.

I don't think I asked you this when we had the Book TV dialogue. Has he ever debated another black intellectual?

I'm sure he has.

I mean, Do you know of any? You mentioned Ibram X. Kendi and Ta-Nehisi Coates and so on. Has he ever— my suspicion is none of them would debate him.

I think since those individuals have come on the scene, Tom, his debating days were behind him. But in his day, he would appear hear on talk shows and debate. You know, he was on Firing Line with William F. Buckley debating liberal intellectuals. He was on Milton Friedman's Free to Choose program debating various—

But they're both conservatives, Buckley and Friedman.

No, no, no, no, no, they would bring on liberals. Buckley's show would bring on a liberal to debate.

Well, I would love to watch those if they're on there.

Yeah, and same with Friedman. Friedman also brought on liberals to debate. So Tom did that. He spent a lot of the '70s and '80s and '90s doing that type of thing. By the time the Coateses and the Kendis and then the Cole-Hannah-Joneses came along, I think Tom was done with that sort of thing. But he's taken on their arguments in his books and in his columns over the decades as well.

He taught where?

He taught at a number of schools. He started out teaching at Douglass College, which is part of Rutgers. At Rutgers University in the 1960s. He then taught at Howard University, a historically black college in D.C., which he also attended for a year before transferring to Harvard. He taught at Cornell. He taught at Amherst, at Brandeis. He got tenure at UCLA, and that was his last teaching post before joining the Hoover Institution.

Why did he leave UCLA?

I think it was part of a program process that began in the late 1960s, and particularly at Cornell. He was there for the student protests. And I think the experience there really soured him on academia. He was very frustrated at how the administration in particular—

Oh, God, do I remember that. The book is Maverick, and it's a biography of truly a great man, Thomas Sowell. Jason Riley knows how to write, so it's a great book. Maverick, up at DennisPrager.com. The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor pain-free studio.

Can you discuss that, please?

It's to do with contract law, correct?

Right. So there's this case, United States versus Throckmorton, and there was a, uh, in that opinion, the phrase fraud vitiates everything, which basically It says we go back to square one, and the idea of that is that if you and I enter into a contract, and I approach this in bad faith, and there is fraud— When I'm signing it? Yes, before, at, or through the wedding.

It's like a marriage contract in the Catholic faith. If you go in as a woman knowing that I'm never going to have children, and not telling your husband, that is a reason to nullify the wedding as if it never actually occurred.

So people are saying never as if it never occurred.

So now they're saying, well, it applies to the election, right?

So I want to get through a very important piece of news that happened. The Pelosi Commission. So for the last couple of months, Nancy Pelosi, I think, has been intentionally slow walking this. I think that Nancy Pelosi has been intentionally dragging her feet for months because Nancy Pelosi wanted a commission to look into January 6th, despite the fact that every single department of law enforcement right now is looking into it. She wanted this to be a later authorization. Commission. So it would go into the election year of 2022 and hurt Republicans. So she intentionally— she did not want this to be an overnight thing. So she pretended as if she was negotiating with Republicans on this commission. And the more information that we get about January 6th, the more it looks like an interruption, not an insurrection. And I'm not supporting the smashing of windows or the assaulting of police officers. You lay your hand on a police officer, you should go to prison for a very long time. Time. I'm not minimizing that. At the same time, who killed Ashli Babbitt? And why were there no charges against the person that fired a shot at Ashli Babbitt, who was unarmed? I thought that was the big mantra of BLM Incorporated. So for months now, Republicans have been negotiating with Nancy Pelosi. When I say Republicans, I mean someone who is not even a Republican, someone who voted for impeachment. And so the commission is supposed to be like a 9/11-style commission to look into the January 6th incident. But we all know how these things happen. This would be a Mueller-style counsel. That would be a roaming prosecutor.

Hey folks, I'm talking to Kevin McCullough. Tell us, what did you make of Kamala Harris when she posted, have a great weekend, or something like that? The way I take it sometimes is, I, I don't want to be like the left. When the people on the left say something really stupid, I don't wanna pile on as though they're the devil. So when she said, "Have a nice weekend," we know it's because she's ignorant and it's bad as the vice president not to understand what Memorial Day is all about. But I kinda feel like, I almost don't know what do I expect from these people? That she's never given a thought to Memorial Day, I don't think. Think? No, I don't think so.

And, uh, I think that she's a pragmatist in almost every area of life.

I My friends, Dennis Prager here, and one more segment here with Jason Riley, who I can talk to about anything and enjoy it. Jason Riley writes for the Wall Street Journal. He's written a biography, and I like when journalists write write biographies or histories because they, they know how to hold your interest usually better than an academic does. And that's not to say that some academics have not written great histories, obviously have, but this is, uh, this has the combination of both. Thomas Sowell, this, this incredible thinker. How old is, how old is Tom now?

Tom will be 91 years old on June 30th.

And I had him on like sometime in the last year. He sounds to me as vigorous as ever.

Well, he published a book on his 90th birthday, so he's still quite, quite productive. I think he's slowing down. You know, he retired his column back in 2016, so he is slowing down a little bit, but he's still, uh, he's still engaged. He's still very much engaged. I've exchanged some emails with him and, uh, last few weeks, and so he's, he's still at it. Does he have siblings? I don't think any of them are still living, but he was one of 6, I believe.

So, well, all right, so the, yeah, the question wasn't whether they were living. The question I was leading to is, did, did any of them share his conservatism?

You know, I don't I don't know. He doesn't talk a lot about, um, uh, that aspect of his, of his upbringing. They didn't grow up together. Tom was orphaned. He was orphaned, and he has an interesting story. He was raised by a great aunt who hid from him the fact that he was orphaned. He thought this aunt was his mother, and he did not know that he had other siblings until he was almost an adult. And it caused quite a strain, as you can imagine, on the relationship when he found out, and that's one of the reasons he left home early, uh, and sort of struck out on his own. Um, so he's spoken about, about these siblings that he later discovered in life, but he hasn't gone into much detail about, uh, you know, what they did for a living, that sort of thing.

See, because whenever I meet a black conservative— in fact, if I meet a Jewish conservative, I, I ask the same question: how does your family regard you? In fact, I'll ask you that? How does your family regard you?

My family regards me the way I think is fairly typical. You know, I didn't come from a particularly political family, so if anything, I'm the oddball because I'm into politics and policy and pay attention to these things. But no, it's a healthy relationship.

Oh, good. Obviously sometimes— this is bizarre to use this term, but nevertheless I don't care— they're the black sheep of the family. I'm sort of a black sheep in my family. Uncle Dennis. I often feel for my nieces and nephews who are all liberal. And while I love them and they love me, but I do feel for them.

The other The other thing to keep in mind though, Dennis, is about— there's a stereotype out there that everyday blacks are these raging woke liberals. That's not true. It's true of black elites. It's true of black academics. It's true of a lot of black politicians. But your rank-and-file, everyday, churchgoing black person thinks about a lot of these issues like I think about about a lot of these issues. And that's something that always the public needs to keep in mind. Tom has a very interesting take on this where he's often asked by interviewers, you know, how does it feel to go against the grain of most black people? He says, no, I don't go against the grain of most black people. I go against the grain of most black elites. And black elites are no more representative of black people than white elites are of white people. So you have to keep that in mind when you're thinking about how well blacks are related, you know, relate to their family, their communities, and so forth.

That's an important point. If you were to recommend two Tom Sowell books to people to get acquainted with his thought, what would you recommend?

The first one I'd recommend is the Thomas Sowell Reader, which is a nice sampling of his writings, columns, book chapters, and so forth. Gives you sort of an overview of his writings on economics, on on education, on race and culture and so forth. If you want to go a little deeper and really get inside Tom's head, I would recommend a book called A Conflict of Visions, which is his own favorite book. And that's a book about political philosophy. He really makes the case that many of our political and social disputes are sort of a logical consequence of differing conceptions of human nature and how the world works. And wherever Tom is writing about it, about. He's sort of writing within this framework.

And he's so clear. That's true. Okay. Anyway, so are you. It's great to talk to you. It's now become a habit, and I like this habit. One day, one day we'll actually meet in person.

Yes, I look forward to that. Not more than I.

Thank you. Maverick is the book, by the way. Just for the record, I love the Maverick A Biography of Thomas Sowell by Jason Riley. And now I get another opportunity to tell you, and I— and that's fine with me. I'm not tired of recommending A Relief Factor. I'll tell you why. I like doing good for people. It's corny as it sounds.

So I know this year has been tough for you, but it's not like Mike Lindell, you know, has failed to survive challenges in the past. It isn't like you haven't faced adversity before.

Right, it's almost like God prepared me for such a time as this. You know, I have faced different, so many things in my life. It's in my book, "What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO." And I think that's also what gives my employees and all my family, it gives them confidence because I have such confidence. I'm never going to give up. When things that I believe in, I'm going to stand firm. I'm not going to buckle up to the cancel culture and the pressure. And that's where, you know, great things come out of things. When, you know, you look back and things in life, I look back and things that happened to me, I look back and go, wow, if that hadn't happened, I might not be where I'm at now. So, right, you know, I look back and I use those things as, as they were character builders. Yeah. And, you know, and by the way, and by the way, you want to—

I want people to know, to read about your story and your character. This book, What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO, you were gracious enough to let us auction off some of these books for the, the signed books for our prison fellowship. Angel Tree campaign to send kids to summer camp. These are the children of prisoners in America who for $200 are sponsored for an entire week to go to summer camp, not only to play, to be outside with other kids, but also hear the gospel, learn the message of God's love. Mike, our listeners have donated over $175,000 to send these kids to summer camp in the last couple of weeks, and, and your book helped play a part in that.

So Laurene Powell Jobs or Lauren, whatever, however she pronounces her name, she is now, according to Alex Marlow, editor of Breitbart.com, the new George Soros, pumping millions and millions of dollars towards social leftist activist causes. And so I want to be very clear, she does not want to destroy America. She wants it to be hers. And it's not just her. There is an entire network of Jeff Bezos to Zuckerberg, of these oligarchs that are pumping in billions of dollars. Mark Zuckerberg put $400 $400 million to the Center for Technology and Civic Life into this last election. $400 million. Jeff Bezos.

I'd like to remind you of a phenomenon in the telephone, smartphone world. Pure Talk, $30 a month, unlimited text and unlimited talk and 6 gigabytes of data.

I played for you a video that has gone viral of a black father and his daughter. She's, she's 6 6. We had a debate here. I thought she was 5. Living Water thought she was 4. She's 6. Completely adorable. The father is— is that dreadlocks? Is that correct, the term for, uh, the, the hair? Cornrows? No, cornrows is on the scalp itself. No, no, no. All right, anyway, the guy's— the guy is with it. He's cool. He's tattooed. Um, just listen to this video he made with his daughter as soon as it comes up. I feel silly when I tell you that. Sean, anything gone? The computer dead? So where is my father and daughter? Daddy teaches you can be anything in this world that you want to be, right? Don't Daddy teach you that? Yeah, and it doesn't matter if you're black or white or any color. Doesn't matter if you're black, white, Brown, yellow, right? Black. And, and how we treat people is based on who they are and not what color they are.

And if they're nice and smart.

See, this is how, this is how children think right here. Critical race theory wants to end that. Not with my children. It's not gonna happen. My baby's gonna know that no matter what she wants to be in life, all she has to do is work hard and she can become that. Work hard that even though you don't know anyone, you can make friends. Yeah, you can make friends no matter what color they are. So we need to stop CRT, period, point blank. Children do not see skin color, man. They love everybody.

If they're good people, they love them.

We pray for people that are hurt. Grades. Okay. It is impossible to overstate how much more beautiful, wise, kind, insightful what you heard than what your children are learning from kindergarten through graduate school. They— this father and daughter do what is the essential belief of my life. They do not, like the left, divide the world between rich and poor or white and non-white, but between nice and not nice. Or as I put it, taken from Viktor Frankl, between the decent and the indecent. Literally, the left does not have a moral view of mankind. They have a racial view of mankind and an economic view of mankind. Marx divided the world by class, and the left divides the world by class and race. They, as I have said, said, and it's worth your memorizing and my memorizing: the left does not have a broken moral compass. It does not use a moral compass. It is much better to have a broken moral compass than not to use one. They don't use one because they don't think in moral terms. They think in racial terms. I learned this This— when I was at college, this is not new, I was told the asinine anti-moral doctrine that a black cannot be a racist. Virtually every PhD in history, sociology, English, gender studies, black studies, Jewish studies believes that asinine, that a black cannot be a racist. They believe it. They don't only say it, they actually believe it. There you go. Well, BLM believes that a black can't be a thief. They're simply claiming reparations that are due them. You don't— you have to understand why the The left is evil because it does not think in moral terms. It thinks in racial terms. It is a complete obliteration of the Judeo-Christian view that the moral is the most important category of life. It is the antithesis of everything the West at its best has ever held. So it doesn't believe in goodness, it doesn't believe in beauty, It doesn't believe in morality. It doesn't— it's hard for you to imagine, but that is true. This is proof. Critical race theory obliterates moral distinctions and substitutes racial ones. This is what your kids are getting. That's why my column this week is so important. Get your kids out of school. Homeschool them. Them or get them into a school that actually teaches from a moral and not racial perspective, that is committed to Harvard's motto, Veritas. What a joke.

You know, now that I think of it, I should have put in my 32 questions, which Newsweek reprinted a couple of weeks ago. I cannot urge you too strongly to send that to all the liberals in your life. 32 questions to discover whether you're a liberal or a leftist. I should have put in, can a black be racist? That was it. I missed that one. That's a dividing line. PolitiFact quietly retracts fact-check of COVID-19 Wuhan lab theory. PolitiFact retracted one of its September 2020 fact-checks. So September 2020, okay, on a virologist from Hong Kong asserted the coronavirus was man-made in a Chinese lab. Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a virologist and former University of Hong Kong postdoctoral fellow, said on Fox News COVID-19 was created in a Wuhan lab and intentionally spread by the Chinese government to people. The since-retracted fact-check— since which they retract their own fact-checks. PolitiFact, right, asserted the claim is inaccurate and ridiculous. We rate it pants on fire. But it doesn't matter when the left lies and is caught in a lie. It just disappears, and that is the end of the issue. The editor's note at PolitiFact: When this fact-check was first published in September 2020, PolitiFact sources included researchers who asserted the SARS-CoV-2 virus could not have been manipulated. That assertion is now more widely disputed. For that reason, we are removing this fact-check. From our database pending a more thorough review. Are they gonna do the same thing on all the people that they shut down who tried to save American and world lives with hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and zinc? All the people shut down who could have saved lives? I believe I've said it many times, it needs to be repeated every day. I believe hundreds of thousands of Americans who are said to have died from COVID-19 would not have died of COVID-19 had they been taking ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and vitamin D. If I am right, the medical profession killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. If I am wrong, I am deeply irresponsible, right? No, you can't have it either way. One of the ways— either I'm wrong or they killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.
