The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

only one you fulfill. I got him. Like, if you're going to say that— that I, I thought it came from your heart. I, you know, you're right, don't you? It's very— I love honesty. Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. So it turns out that the noose directed against Bubba Wallace, the Black NASCAR driver, was not actually placed there as a racist act against him. Now raise your hand if you're shocked. Hmm, let's see. 3. There are 3 people listening who are shocked. That's about right. I even said it yesterday, didn't I? I said something to the effect, I'm really not convinced. I didn't, I didn't assume that he is did a— did a, uh, what's his name in Chicago? Yeah, Jussie Smollett. I didn't assume that he had pulled that. I still don't. So what is he now saying? Instead of saying, God, isn't that wonderful? Turns out it was not a racist act. I work with wonderful people. No, it was a noose. He admits that it wasn't placed there directed against him, that whoever— that these ropes have been around for a while, and that one had someone would have had to have been erased years ago, or whenever they were placed there, and a prophet to know that was the room that— that would be the garage that Bubba, that a Black driver, the only one in those finals, would be taking over. The batting average on the nooses and swastikas and rapes is almost zero, right? Remember the evil hysteria of the New York Times and Duke University against the white students? You know, the left never pays a price for its evil. Never. Why? Who is going to make them pay the price? The media? The media are part of the evil. It is evil to falsely charge people with evil. You know I am a Bible fan. Do you know what the Bible's punishment is for a false witness? Someone who testifies falsely? They get the punishment that would have been meted out had their testimony been believed and caused the person to be rendered guilty. That's—

that's—

I love— that's why I'm a Bible fan. That's the— that's But they pay no price. We can make up a lie. Just Jussie Smollett might be paying a price. That's a rare, rare occasion. I always ask, if America's so racist, why do they have to make up all these hoaxes? I think I'll tweet that out. That's a worthy tweet. Can you get that down? Oh, I never remember the words. If America's so racist, why are— why all these hoaxes? As I point out, we have no record of Jews making up an anti-Semitic hoax in Germany in the 1930s. That— there was a society that was systemically anti-Semitic. No Jew decided, you know what, there's just I gotta prove there's anti-Semitism here, so I'm gonna paint the swastika on my door. We live in a gigantic lie. A Black writer for the Wall Street Journal— let me mention he's Black because that's important today, unfortunately— he begins his column with, uh, so far we haven't seen a shred of evidence that George Floyd's death in police custody was racially motivated. Is that correct? We live, uh, if it weren't for the lie, there wouldn't be demonstrations, protests. The country would not be open to Black Lives Matter and the New York Times editorial page and AOC. You understand? We just built on lies, and it's very hard to combat because the entire tech world is arrayed against you. I would— I wonder if somebody tweeted this out. So far we haven't seen a shred of evidence that George Floyd's death in police custody was racially motivated. Just that, not saying the source, Wall Street Journal, would Twitter paste some notice on it. Interesting, right? Well, look, if they call the president's tweet that if you destroy public property, we will prosecute you, if that is abusive language, Isn't that amazing? You realize the contempt that Twitter has for the American people. You need to be told what Twitter finds abusive, morons. It's like the left's contempt for black. You're used like workers were used by communists. It is the anti-racism hysteria. Anti-racism is noble, but you can have hysteria over it. Anti-communism was noble, you could have hysteria over that. So this hysteria is what dominates everything, and anything that offers truth or even a respectful differing opinion is now labeled racist. So as I was saying, blacks are used and anti-racism is used by the left the way anti-fascism and worker solidarity was used by the communists. The workers were a foil. That's what, that's all it is. The numbers of New Yorkers being shot and killed are going, the numbers are going back to the 1990s. No, worse than the '90s, '80s, '70s and '80s. Wow, I memorized that incorrectly. I have the article in front of me, however. The police, you're all racist. The inscription of the left is, what is it? All police are bad. Isn't that, what is it? All A, it's an acronym. Is it all police are, not are bad, bad is too sweet a word for them. Take a look what that is. Anyway, the police are awful and the whole thing, they should be disbanded. Okay, that's right. Can I say that on the air? He says I can. You say I can't. It's not one of the seven words.

All—

ACAB, all cops are bastards. So cops have decided, you know, the chances of my ruining my life helping blacks defend themselves against the black criminals are really high, so I just won't take that extra step. That's courtesy of the left. Chaos. Remember, I've told you, chaos. 1-800-PRAGER-776. Latest hoax, the noose.

This is Lon Heaton of the Hoover Institution for Townhall.com. Public health officials across America have spent the last several months warning about the dangers of the coronavirus and the need for us to stay at home, halt economic activity, and avoid social interactions with our friends and neighbors. We are now reopening our economy in many parts of the country, but these same public health officials have compromised their own credibility as we do so. On the one hand, they've urged caution and a slow return to work, school, and faith gatherings. They've criticized those who opposed the stay-at-home orders. But at the same time, these officials have been broadly supportive of the large protests on America's streets in the last few weeks. Public health officials should be helping us understand the comparative risks of activities, not endorsing the causes they like while prohibiting the ones they don't. Their hypocrisy is costly indeed. They have impacted our ability to address future health crises. I'm Lanhee Chen.

I think the New York media is describing Florida as coronavirus raging through the state. That's literally the word they're using, at least in the New York Post. But there's a peculiarity about these data-driven news reports. Always at the bottom of the article, at the end of the report, they admit that deaths and hospitalizations are down and hospital capacity is nowhere near being stretched thin. I don't understand it any more than I can make sense of a, of a guy like Anthony Fauci who told us that masks don't work and they're not effective and you shouldn't go around wearing a mask, you're causing more problems than, than solutions, and then admitting That were— those were lies because they were worried that we would, you know, scarf up all the face masks from the hospital workers. And now if you live in California, soon-to-be Texas, Tampa, Florida, you don't wear a mask, I guess you're breaking the law. I don't know what they're gonna do to you if you don't have a mask. Think there'll be a mask jail? Will there be a prison for people who refuse to wear a mask? I'm serious. They're going to lock people up? You're just going to give you a fine? You're going to pay a fine if you refuse to wear a mask? I saw a conservative activist got kicked off a flight. He was trying to get to Tulsa, uh, on an airplane. They kicked him off the plane. I believe it was American Airlines.

We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed. Now, unless there is a video from 3 different angles, no one cares what you have to say. With all this talk about racism and racist cops, I've never seen people treated differently because of their race. And while I know that cowards that have never done this job will call me a racist for saying it, all I've ever seen was criminal behavior and cops trying to stop it. And they didn't give a rip what their skin color was. I've seen cops help and save any type of race, gender, or ethnicity you can think of. And while that used to mean something, no one cares anymore. I've been called every name you can think of, and many of them with racial overtones. And it's never come from cops. I've watched African American cops take the brunt of this and even talked one rookie out of quitting after he was berated by a lot of cowards that had the same skin color as him. I've never heard— I've heard words I never heard before coming a cop.

Hi everybody. Dennis Prager here and reviewing the state of our country, and I marvel. History will record this as unique in history.

The—

there's never been as large a decent country as the United States. Never been as unracist a country that has many races in it. And It may in fact commit suicide. I, I would not be— I'm not surprised, but history will have to record why. They would be— do a lot worse than just read my columns and books. I have been talking about this for all of my career. The combination of secularism and boredom and affluence is a lethal one, as I have told you. When people stop believing in God and country, to put it in as simple a term as possible, or let's just talk God, as you know, the great phrase attributed to G.K. Chesterton, but we don't know who first said it. When people stop believing in God, they do not believe in nothing, they believe in anything. There is always a secular religion to take the place of Bible-based religion. This is what is going on in our streets. Do you realize that— do we have an estimate how many people, sum total, demonstrated for those 2 weeks or 10 days? Would you say 100,000? 200,000? You realize that it was largely rooted in nothing. We have zero notion that what happened in Minneapolis was race-based. We have zero notion that the intention was to kill the man even. I am not defending the officer. I want to make that clear. It's a horrible video. I mean, it's morally horrible. It's emotionally horrible. But it's based on left-wing propaganda, systemic racism, and the like. It's what people believe. That's the problem. The guy gets on Bubba— gets on Don Lemon and defends himself. He doesn't say, isn't this wonderful? See, if a decent man— and I don't know him from Adam, but I can only say a decent man would have said, I am so relieved. If I found something anti-Semitic in my workplace, do you know how relieved I would be to, to learn it was not in fact anti-Semitic at all, that I had misapprehended what it was. Why isn't he relieved for himself, for NASCAR, and for the country? Tell me why. Why does this not indict his character? I would almost pay for somebody who wants to defend his decency to call in now. 1-800-PRAGER-776, 877-243-7776. Leftism makes you a worse human being.

Get it?

Whatever you are, leftism makes you worse.

How's that?

That's pretty something. It's a moral disease. And our friend Bubba has contracted it. It is so obvious what a decent person would say. Instead, he goes on Don Lemon and just defends himself. Nobody's making an accusation against him. All he had to say is, great, thank you FBI for relieving me of that burden of thinking that there was some anti-Black incident that occurred in my garage, right? That's what normal, decent people say. But another chance to smear America has been lost. That's a bummer for CNN. That is a real bummer. This is, this is a, this is truly a This is truly one of those many revelatory moments that unfortunately will not be seen as revelatory because the New York Times, CNN, and the other distorters of truth for a living will not reveal it that way. Yeah, I want to hear the montage. Yes, go ahead. Stunning, shocking, appalling, disgusting reminder of who, again, this sport is for.

A noose found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace. Obviously, this is completely appalling, but do you think it's surprising? No, it's not surprising at all. And NASCAR is often considered a sport that is tethered to white folk, tethered to the South.

The Confederate flag in a sport that is overwhelmingly white and certainly dominant among Southerners.

I wish we had a name for all of these, all of these haters of America. Will one, will one of them apologize? One? No. Again, I called it 30 years ago. I wrote it. Being on the left means never having to say you're sorry. Any one of you with a leftist child knows what I'm talking about when I say it makes you a worse person.

I keep asking you the same question every week because I still don't get it. The greatest nation on God's earth, uh, until the coronavirus, the Wu Flu, the biggest economy the world had ever seen, the markets returned to where they were pre-COVID. And then there's these weird skittish moments where there's a flutter on the market and there's a sudden drop because what, 4 Apple stores are closing? Trish, what's going on?

Well, yeah, you know, some people are nervous right now. There's still a lot of volatility out there because they're trying to figure out, is this for real? Right? Like, they want to make sure that this economic recovery is indeed for real. And when you hear about Apple stores shutting down, when you hear about states getting very nervous about reopening, they're saying to themselves, wait a second, we're not going to have a repeat of what we just went through, are we? And I think that the short answer to that is, of course, no. But nonetheless, it's how committed are American consumers going to be? How committed is corporate America in this new environment to move forward? And that's what it's going to come down to, right? Because if we start to backpedal here, we start to say, OK, now we're shutting everything down, schools don't start in September, then you run the risk of another shutdown and another, you know, economic, frankly, catastrophe. Because that's what that was. They caused— this was sort of self-inflicted— an economic catastrophe.

Hey there, folks. Welcome. I'm talking to my friend Dinesh D'Souza. He has a new book out today. It's called United States of Socialism. If previous presidents had done the right thing, the monster that is now China would not be as big as it is, and we would not have to deal with it in this way. But it seems to me that the naivete and the greed of Clinton and the Bushes with regard to China, thinking that the God of the free market is going to solve the political problems in China and make them just like us. That's one kind of stupidity. The other is just the pure greed of saying that, knowing that at least whatever happens, I'm gonna make a lot of money. We've let this go on for 30-plus years. And it seems that you need someone like Trump to deal with them in the way that he's been dealing with them. At least that's what I think.

The Chinese have had a longstanding policy of getting favorable treatment from the leaders of other countries by financing their family members. It's an old kind of Asian despotic mode of doing business. Now, if you look at Biden, for example, over the years Biden's net worth has not gone up for the simple reason that he has to disclose any investments that he has, any deals that he makes. But now watch the Biden family, his brother James Biden, his other brother Frank Biden, his son Hunter Biden, Their net worths have skyrocketed.

Why?

Because when Biden goes to China, he takes Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden then gets a deal through the Shanghai Free Trade Zone that is not available to Western investors, in which the Chinese government itself is putting in money, a $1.5 billion investment.

Dr. Strom, I just did a video about the Hong Kong flu of 1968, and if you look at the number of people who contracted it and died Almost everything most Americans think they know about what happened in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9th, 2014 is wrong, based on misinformation.

Larry Elder tells you the truth in this week's Prager University video. See it at PragerU.com, where we teach what isn't taught. All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here. I've known this man for some time, had him on the show a number of times. I'm a great admirer of his work. Former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, Everett Piper, wrote a column. It was really great because I wrote a column which is so similar. We're both quite disgusted with the caving in of the religious life to people who loathe everything we stand for. And he is doing it as an evangelical Christian. I am doing it as a religious Jew. And we come to the exact same conclusion. But he's harshest on his own community, as I often am on my own community. But I distribute it among both. We're going to put his column up at DennisPrager.com so you can see what, what is going on. So, uh, may I call you Everett?

Please do. I was going to say thank you for having me on, Mr. Prager, so now you just trumped my— oh good.

Yeah, that would have been a little odd. We know each other now for a while.

Yes. Thanks for having me on, Dennis.

I gotta tell you, this is the most painful part of what's going on because I have said, I have said, for example, to your community, to evangelical Christians, to whom I speak so often, I have said America is the last best hope of mankind and the evangelical community is the last best hope of America. And I read your column and I want to cry. What's happening?

Look, you're right, and I think it's appropriate for you to call your own on the carpet, and likewise, that's what I'm doing. This is my community, this is my home. I'm a born-again Christian, I'm an evangelical, but I'm actually ashamed of the word right now. The word evangelical comes from the word evangel, the good news of Christ, and rather than preaching personal repentance, evangelical pastors across the land are standing in solidarity with an organization that actually seeks the destruction of Christianity, and they do so explicitly on their website. Black Lives Matter, as you know, I call out the fact that Black Lives Matter explicitly says on its website that we do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege. We build a space that is free from sexism and misogyny, an environment with our man-centered. We dismantle patriarchal practices. We disrupt Western-prescribed nuclear family structures. We foster a queer-affirming network with an intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking. And they're anti-Semitic and pro-abortion to boot. But yet I have my evangelical woke pastors who seem to be championing a new religion. I call it holy wokeness, the cult of white guilt rather than the gospel of Jesus Christ, of personal forgiveness and personal repentance and personal culpability and personal change, rather than pointing the finger outward and blaming everything else that's wrong in culture. They take no responsibility for themselves, and my fellow Christians are leading the charge. And as you know, I start the article by saying, what is wrong with you? Why in God's name would you stand in solidarity with this cause, this neo-Marxist cause, which seeks the absolute destruction of the Judeo-Christian ethic.

God bless you. I wrote in my column that one explanation is that there is a greater fear of the left and fear of the New York Times than there is fear of the Lord. That's what I believe is a big factor. I think fear of God is underrated as unbelievably important in leading living a good life and a courageous life.

And absolutely, I've actually read your work on the Old Testament— excellent work, by the way— and you rightly point out that God is not our best friend. He doesn't cuddle us in our sin. He confronts our sin. It's the story of Israel. It's the story of the Old Testament. And frankly, it's the story of Christ too. We are to confess our sins, not sit around and be comfortable in them. And when we degrade another group of people by not calling them to the same, same standards of confession that we as Caucasians hold ourselves to. When we degrade somebody else—

Wow, that— all right, hold on there. Everett Cooper— I'm sorry, Everett Piper. And, uh, we're going to be back with, uh, with him in a moment. We gotta— we have to recall him. It's not a clear line. It's too bad if he was in Europe, it would be a perfectly clear line. RadioZone is— the product is very simple to understand. It is entirely made up of— it is made up of OEA, which you in your body have. OEA is a molecule that tells your brain you're full, so you eat less. That's number one in health.

America has been doing some soul searching lately. Perhaps you noticed we're examining what's right with America and what can be made better. No other country does this kind of introspection better than us. Some of what we found we don't like and will change. Every life has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. That includes our law enforcement as well as every skin color. We've been through this before in America. We always came out stronger. We will this time too. Our hosts will make sure of that. We are the answer. Trending now on the Larry Elder Show.

You know, the idea of shutting down our economy was just, you know, awful. I mean, and by the way, the people who suffered the most, Larry, were the lowest income people, Black Americans. We had the best, you know, Larry, from 2017 through 2020, what demographic group saw the fastest rise in incomes?

Blacks.

Black Americans. Yes. I knew you knew that. And, and you know, wait a minute, how could that happen? We've got a racist president. How could that have happened? We had more economic advance in 3 years for Black Americans under Trump than we did in 80 years years under Obama.

Stephen Moore is my guest. He was an economic advisor to President Trump. President Trump, to me— I could be completely wrong, you would know more than I would about this— instinctively, he didn't want to shut down the economy, did he?

Oh, Trump did not want to shut down the economy. No way. He got terrible advice from Fauci, who's, you know, a disaster as his health advisor. And I'll tell you this, you know, we can't undo what has been done, but Donald Trump is not going to shut down this economy again. I guarantee I mean, now the left is saying, oh, we have to shut down the economy again 'cause we've had a few more cases of coronavirus. No, we, look, the vast, vast, vast majority of the people who've gotten very sick and have died from coronavirus are people that are over the age of 65 or 70. So let's keep those people healthy. But you know, we've gotta get, you can't keep an economy down. And I actually think it's because we did this, we locked down the economy for 2 or 3 months, that we have these riots in the street. You can't keep young people locked up with nothing to do, no jobs, to go to no income for 2 or 3 months and expect— you're, you're creating a tinderbox and it was just waiting for a match.

All right, everybody. Former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, one of the most prominent evangelicals in the country, Everett Piper. And he wrote a, what I would call a prophetic and People don't know, most people think prophets tell the future. In fact, the word prophet is an unfortunate translation of the Hebrew, which really means spokesman. They convey difficult words of God, or to use the cliché now rampant on the left, tells truth to power. That's what the prophet did, and that's what Everett Piper did to his fellow evangelicals. The, uh, the question I have for you is, did you see this coming? Would you have predicted a large cave-in to an anti-religious force such as the left, or is this somewhat surprising to you?

Yes, I did. In fact, I won't bore you with it, Dennis, but I actually wrote my dissertation on this at Michigan State University some couple decades ago. I could see this fact: a low view of Scripture combined with a high view of self is not a good formula for freedom. I'll repeat that: a low view of Scripture with a high view of self is always a formula for disaster and bondage and slavery and brokenness rather than repentance and freedom. Another way to look at it is Greek mythology, the story of Narcissus. Narcissism is always suicidal. And the more we gaze into the pool infatuated with ourselves, the more we displace God from where he rightfully belongs in our lives, and commit the original sin and declare ourselves to be as God, the more we slip into the pool and subject ourselves to cultural suicide. And that is indeed what's taking place in the evangelical church right now. And yeah, you've nailed it. It's a new religion. It's the religion of holy wokeness, as I said earlier, and the white guilt cult, as opposed to the Christian religion of repentance, confession, and being born again.

I included the repentance issue in my piece, and I said it's— there is no room for it on the left. You lead an honorable, good responsible, family-centered life for decades, but you are caught having said something 25 years ago and your life is over. There is no room for that in Judaism or Christianity. The holiest day of Judaism is the Day of Atonement. The whole point of Christ's crucifixion is to atone for sin.

And, uh, that's absent on the left because they don't believe in sin other than yours. Okay, like you said, I listened to your earlier episode or your earlier segment and you repeated what you've written 30 years ago. Being on the left means never having to say you're sorry because they don't believe in personal confession. They believe in systematic and organizational sin. They believe in self-worship rather than selflessness. And personal culpability. It's always pointing the finger outward and blaming you rather than looking in the mirror and accepting the responsibility for what they see there. That's what I'm trying to say. You know, it seems that our new religion in America is to worship what we see in the mirror rather than what we see in the Bible. And if what you see in the mirror is elevated to the status of God, why would you ever have to say you're sorry? Everybody else is responsible for the ills of our culture, not myself, if indeed I'm worshiping this new god of holy wokeness.

Out here where I live in Southern California, I could think, and I'm sure there are more, but I could think of two spectacular evangelical pastors who think like you and who take Christianity seriously, Jack Hibbs and Rob McCoy. I'm sure you're familiar with them.

Yes.

So this is a strange question, but it's actually quite sincerely asked. Do you, in your mind, obviously there's no way to know, but in your mind, how many Hibbs and McCoys are there? How many Pipers are there percentage-wise in evangelical, among evangelical clergy and leaders?

Well, again, Dennis, as a Christian, I'm gonna answer you as a Christian. I believe the words of Christ when he promised us that the gates of hell will not prevail against his church. I think that's a promise. I don't think Christ will break that promise. So I think the church wins. Now, what happens between now and that victory, I don't know. It could get ugly. But I have confidence in the end of the story that the gates of hell will not prevail. So how many? Is it a— is it a— is it 20%? Is it 30%? Is it 51% of the Christian community that would agree with what I'm saying. I don't know, but I do know the strength that we can have, and I understand the confidence and the courage that we're told to have as we engage culture. Dennis, you run into the face of the storm. You don't run away from it, and people follow you because you do. They don't want to follow somebody who's weak-kneed and mushy and just goes with the flow of culture. This is the lesson the church needs to learn. Have some courage, have a spine, if you will. Run into the storm, not away from the storm. Wave the banner of the truth of Christ and the truth of Scripture. And if you win waving that banner, great, that's God's grace. But if you lose, who cares? Go down fighting. We need to fight for what's right and just and real, and not just capitulate to what's woke.

Well, as I said last, uh, segment. God bless you, my friend. We need you. Thank you. Thank you.

And God bless you too, Dennis. Thank you for your words and, and the courage in your leadership.

Thank you. It means a lot. We will continue. 1-8-Prager-776. What's wrong with Uncle Ben's picture?

I am reading from the Financial Times headline: Pompeo castigates Bolton as a traitor. Mike Pompeo, the U.S. Secretary of State, has hit out at John Bolton. Calling his former colleague a traitor and accusing Donald Trump's ex-national security adviser of lies in his new memoir. John Bolton is spreading a number of lies, fully spun half-truths, and outright falsehoods, Mr. Pompeo said about The Room Where It Happened, Mr. Bolton's new book that is scheduled for release next Tuesday. In a statement headlined I Was in the Room Too, Mr. Pompeo said it was both sad and dangerous that John Bolton's final public role is that of a traitor who damaged America by violating his sacred trust with its people. Strong words. I just don't like memoirs which are tell-alls. Now, I read memoirs. I'm reading Bob Gates's new book, which will have anecdotes in it. I'm sure he submitted for the, uh, the review of, uh, the appropriate authorities to make sure that we do not give away any methods or source. It results in death. That's why the Pentagon Papers was not a moment of virtue for this country, as a moment of assassination. By Daniel Ellsberg and those who chaired it. It resulted in the deaths of people who could be traced in their cooperation with the United States government by the North Vietnamese after they triumphed after the United States cut and ran from Vietnam in 1974, uh, 1975, excuse me. So no, I just don't believe in it. You gotta put your books in for review. There have been memoirs by Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, by Vice President Cheney, by George W. Bush, by Condoleezza Rice. They all get submitted to the same process. And guess what? It's not quick. And Ambassador Bolton ought to have followed the rules.

You write in your book, uh, Amity Shlaes, quote, most Americans shared something else with Harrington. Confidence. In the 1930s, the New Deal had failed to reduce unemployment. The prolonged periods of joblessness were what had made the Depression great, but the memory of the New Deal failure had faded just enough that younger people liked the sound of the term, and memories of more recent successes fueled Americans' current ambitions. Many men were veterans. End of quote. This confidence that we could reorient society, we could cure poverty, as you pointed out, this is what drove a lot of this stuff.

Oh, yes.

Well, you know, it's always— I was looking at a flip chart, a flip picture today, you know, on the internet, where they said, "Well, racism is a result of capitalism. We need socialism to get rid of racism." And I thought, "Wow, that's pretty intense," and pretty wrongheaded, but a lot of young people believe that. The epigram of the current book, Great Society, which I hope your listeners will pick up, is a lot of facts you may have thought about before, never seen laid out.

Is nothing to do with just Uncle Ben and Uncle Ben's converted rice. Is that— is it called converted rice? Is it still or is it now just Rice? I never understood. I always thought of conversion as a religious term. And so I was wondering, did his Rice convert to anything? But in any event, I just looked up his picture. It's a distinguished black man wearing a bow tie. What is racist about it? So the Daily News, which is on the left, I should have had that. Did you give me that Daily News article? Is that how I had it? Because the way it described it, it was just, it was taken as a given that it was sexist. I mean, racist. Just taken as a given. Yeah, maybe I'll have it here. Yeah, I do have it. Okay. I got it. Uncle Ben's changing logo away from racist imagery. That is the headline in the New York Daily News, a left-wing paper. Like it's taken for granted that it is a distinguished black man, smile, you know, with that, with a sophisticated smile, with a white shirt, a sport jacket or a suit jacket. And black mustache, excuse me, and black bow tie. So Uncle Ben's Rice, yeah, it's not converted. Uncle Ben's Rice is consciously uncoupling from its racist imagery. This is the first sentence in the New York Daily News. But I keep wondering, why is it racist? I know I'm not woke, but still. Parent company Mars Incorporated announced Wednesday, that's today, I guess, right? Or was that last Wednesday? Today. That it would evolve the brand away from the iconic photo of an African-American man bearing the epithet reserved for black people in the mid-20th century to avoid calling them Mr. So why don't— if that's the issue, so it's not the picture. The pic— they can't claim the picture's racist. The word uncle. There's Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben. I always thought of those as loving terms, but I now learned that they're racist. Okay, so why don't you just call it Mr. Ben's? Are there no— by the way, I'm— this is an open question— are there no white figures that have been declared uncle or aunt? Male-female hour coming up.

Welcome back, America. It's Hugh Hewitt. Thank you for joining me this morning. The president and the vice president greeted a group of seniors to the White House yesterday to talk about senior policy. The media was invited in. A quote spray occurred. I'd like you to hear some of that. You may have seen some of it, not seen much of it on the news last night. Donald Trump talking with John Roberts of Fox News addressed the Chaz zone in Seattle. Cut number 6.

You know, they're negotiating garbage removal. These people have taken over a vast part, a major part, a very good part of a place called Seattle. Seattle's big stuff. That's a major city. And we have a governor who's stiff, and we have a mayor who said, oh, this is going to be a love fest. The problem with what happened in Seattle is it spreads, and all of a sudden they'll say, let's do some other city and let's do another one. And we're not going to let it happen. So timing-wise, uh, hey, we're all set to go. We're watching the process. But the most amazing thing about the process is how the fake news media doesn't want to cover it.

And he's right.

The most amazing thing—

and the fake news media doesn't want to cover it because it does make Democrats look bad, and the fake news media is an arm of the Democrats. Honest to goodness, the Seattle thing is, for the reason the president said, very concerning. If it becomes obvious to Antifa that they will not be in any way molested then Columbus goes up, then Austin, Texas. I don't think they'll try this in Texas. Actually, Texas business owners are going to object mightily if they take over 8 blocks, or is it 4 blocks? I don't know what it is.

I keep asking you the same question every week because I still don't get it. The greatest nation on God's earth, uh, until the coronavirus, the Wu Flu, the biggest economy the world had ever seen, the markets returned to where they were pre-COVID, and then there's these weird skittish moments where there's a flutter on the market and there's a sudden drop because what, 4 Apple stores are closing. Trish, what's going on?

Well, yeah, you know, some people are nervous right now. There's still a lot of volatility out there because they're trying to figure out, is this for real?

Right.

Like they want to make sure that this economic recovery is indeed for real. And when you hear about Apple stores shutting down, when you hear about states getting very nervous about reopening, they're saying to themselves, wait a second, we're not going to have a repeat of what we just went through, are we? And I think that the short answer to that is, of course, no. But nonetheless, it's how committed are American consumers going to be, how committed is corporate America in this new environment to move forward. And that's what it's going to come down to, right? Because if we start to backpedal here, we start to say, okay, now we're shutting everything down, schools don't start in September, then you run the risk of another shutdown and another economic, frankly, catastrophe, 'cause that's what that was. They caused, this was sort of self-inflicted, an economic catastrophe.

Hey there, folks.

Welcome. I'm talking to my friend Dinesh D'Souza. He has a new book out today. It's called United States of Socialism. If previous presidents had done the right thing, the monster that is now China would not be as big as it is, and we would not have to deal with it in this way. But it seems to me that the naivete and the greed of Clinton and the Bushes with regard to China, thinking that that the god of the free market is going to solve the political problems in China and make them just like us. That's one kind of stupidity. The other is just the pure greed of saying that, knowing that at least whatever happens, I'm gonna make a lot of money. We've let this go on for 30+ years. And it seems that you need someone like Trump to deal with them in the way that he's been dealing with them. At least that's what I think.

[Speaker:DENNIS PRAGER] The Chinese have had a longstanding policy of getting favorable treatment from the leaders of other countries by financing their family members. It's an old kind of Asian despotic mode of doing business. Now, if you look at Biden, for example, over the years Biden's net worth has not gone up for the simple reason that he has to disclose any investments that he has, any deals that he makes. But now watch the Biden family, his brother James Biden, his other brother Frank Biden, his son Hunter Biden, Their net worths have skyrocketed. Why? Because when Biden goes to China, he takes Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden then gets a deal through the Shanghai Free Trade Zone that is not available to Western investors, in which the Chinese government itself is putting in money, a $1.5 billion investment.

Dr. Strom, I just did a video about the Hong Kong flu of 1968, and if you look at the number of people who contracted it and died and adjusted for population, it was about 150,000 Americans. That's about 20,000, about 38,000 fewer deaths than we have so far with the current coronavirus. And we didn't shut down the government. I don't even remember it. I was 16 years old. I don't remember anybody talking about it at the time.

Okay, that point well taken. Let's just look at the numbers now. So since, since the, the May 16th, okay, we're having new cases clearly. And okay, businesses are opening up and people are getting more liberal. They're not, they're not as worried about transmission. But in the last week, I mean, there's going to be 709 new deaths, so 29,000 new cases. And last weekend was the highest daily total since May 16th.

Okay.

But if somebody gets a disease, is that a death sentence? Probably not. We see the mortality is probably less than we thought. So transmission is going to happen, and maybe we do want that because I told you last time I was on about herd immunity. You get 50 to 70% of the population infected, you— people are going to become immune. And, uh, and we may need that herd immunity if we don't get a vaccination within the next, what, year? We hope by year end. So yes, there are new cases. Does it warrant a complete shutdown? Probably not.

All right, everybody, the male-female hour. Now, I warn you in advance, on occasion the Male-Female Hour speaks about sexual matters and is not for kids, not for little kids. You determine the age, but I do want you to know that. I find it reprehensible that people refrain from talking truth about sexual matters. One of the most important aspects of life, for good and for bad, clearly, but one of the most powerful things in life is ignored. I know you say, well, you're kidding, we're a sex-drenched society. Well, we're a sex-drenched society in some ways, but we don't talk about it. And if it— or it's talked about in, you know, comedy routines perhaps. So, uh, and when it's talked about, it's talked about in ways that don't offend the sensibilities of those who are easily offended. Truth, truth bothers people. Doesn't bother me. I Well, there are truths that bother me, I guess. I'm challenging myself here. How easily people can be manipulated, large numbers of people, is a truth that I find sad. But anyway, you can't better the human condition and you can't grow up So I'm giving you a macro and a micro take on this. You can't grow up and you can't make the world better if you don't address truths. I have not talked about male sexual nature in months because of the pandemic, well, specifically the lockdown, and then the other matters that have engulfed our society. And I, I've always addressed them in terms of the male-female hour, but, or even other aspects like, what was last week? If, oh yes, it was an interesting topic. They're all interesting topics. Were you in a marriage where one partner thought things were fine and the other thought thought they were awful. That's fascinating. I could have taken your calls. I could have taken your calls 24/7 and not run out of calls. I would still be taking the calls. I'd have to be fed intravenously and somehow do it while sleeping, but I could have gone on for the, for the last week. So this week I want to use an example in the news of what has happened to women and society because of the feminist movement making women immature. What does immature mean? Immature means that you are not grown up enough to deal with reality. That's what immature means. There are many definitions to immature. That's a distinctive one. And you are rendered immature at college, you are rendered more immature at graduate school, and you reach the height of immaturity if you get a PhD and teach. The women writing on these matters with their PhDs and professorships are children, just children when it comes to male nature. Stuff my grandmother, who didn't even go to high school, took, took for granted. In other words, all of your great-grandparents with no education, no formal education, understood men better than your daughter who majors in sociology, let alone gender studies. And there are a handful of men, or more than a handful, a certain small percentage of men who want— who don't have the courage to say, I am a man and this is how I think. I don't act on it. And so this came up. I mean, it was almost scripted by the Male-Female Hour. I am not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel. He's just another simpleton leftist as far as I'm concerned, which is sad because if he had the courage, he would stand up. But nobody in Hollywood has courage, virtually nobody. I couldn't say nobody. Nevertheless, I am going to defend Jimmy Kimmel for what he's being attacked for. When did this— was it Megan Fox, the actress, was his guest? 2009. That's 11 years ago. I don't care if it was last year, but 11 years ago might as well be 150 years ago in certain arenas. On what you are allowed to say. For example, 11 years ago, the New York Times would not have printed a column as it did yesterday beginning with the words men menstruate. Okay, we are living in a fantasy world, in a make-believe world, and you are expected to say 2 and 2 is 6. If you don't say 2 and 2 is 6, you are a heteronormative cisheteropatriarchal xenophobic homophobic bigot. Get it? Okay, that's, that's the— that is what transpires for intelligence in the pages of the New York Times and your local university. So I'm going to play for you what came out and for which Jimmy Kimmel was attacked.

This is—

so this is Megan Fox. What was she, 28 or something at the time? At the time of the interview? Yes, I think so. Yeah, she was in her mid to late 20s. She is on his program. This is what she relates to.

Really?

And yeah, they were shooting this club scene and they brought me in and I was wearing a stars and a cowboy hat and like 6-inch heels. And he approved it. And they said, you know, Michael, she's 15, so you can't sit her at the bar and she can't have a drink in her hand. So his solution to that problem was to then have me dancing underneath the waterfall getting soaking wet.

And that's perfectly wholesome.

I was 15, I was in 10th grade. That's sort of a microcosm of how how they— his mind works. Yeah, well, yeah, well, that's really a microcosm of how all our minds work, but some, some of us have the decency to repress those thoughts and pretend that they don't exist. Did he, um— okay, so that's what he said. I'm sorry, say it again. She was 23 at the time, so this was 8 years later. Okay, thank you. So let me, let me restate what you heard 11 years ago on his program. The actress Megan Fox related what happened to her. She's then 23. What happened to her when she was 15? She was on a movie set. Was Michael Bay a director? Hey, Michael Bay, the director. For whatever reason, she was there in a— was it a How was an American flag bikini? Was that— well, or striped bikini? It doesn't really matter. Stars like me in a cowboy hat and high like 6-inch heels, and, um, he approved, brought me in. And so this brought me in and, uh, I was wearing a star striped knee and a cowboy hat and like 6-inch heels. Okay, approved it. Did you catch? That's what I thought. Stars and Stripes bikini. It's irrelevant. I don't know why I'm fixating on it. That's a bikini, a hat, a red hat, a red cowboy hat, and, and, uh, and 6-inch heels. She's, uh, the scene calls for her, for whatever reason, to be at a bar, seated at the bar. She can't. She's 15, so she can't be at the bar and holding a drink. So Michael Bay, the director, says, oh, go under a waterfall and what, dance? Was that what he said? I think dance, right? Dance under the waterfall. So, uh, the key is his, uh, his reaction, Jimmy Kimmel's reaction, and for which he is being attacked. We're worse than we were in 2011.

This is Lon Heaton of the Hoover Institution for Townhall.com. Public health officials across America have spent the last several months warning about the dangers of the the coronavirus and the need for us to stay at home, halt economic activity, and avoid social interactions with our friends and neighbors. We are now reopening our economy in many parts of the country, but these same public health officials have compromised their own credibility as we do so. On the one hand, they've urged caution and a slow return to work, school, and faith gatherings. They've criticized those who opposed the stay-at-home orders. But at the same time, these officials have been broadly supportive of the large protests on America's streets in the last few weeks. Public health officials should be helping us understand the comparative risks of activities, not endorsing the causes they like while prohibiting the ones they don't. Their hypocrisy is costly indeed. They have impacted our ability to address future health crises. I'm Lanhee Chang.

I think the New York media is describing Florida as coronavirus raging through the state. That's literally the word they're using, at least in the New York Post. But there's a peculiar— there's a peculiarity about these, these, uh, data-driven news reports. All the— but always at the bottom of the article, at the end of the report, they admit that deaths and hospitalizations are down and hospital capacity is nowhere near being stretched thin. I don't understand it any more than I can make sense of a, of a guy like Anthony Fauci who told us that masks don't work and they're not effective and you shouldn't go around wearing a mask, you're causing more problems than, than solutions. And then admitting that those were lies because they were worried that we would, you know, scarf up all the face masks from the hospital workers. And now if you live in California, soon-to-be Texas, Tampa, Florida, you don't wear a mask, I guess you're breaking the law. I don't know what they're gonna do to you if you don't have a mask. Think there'll be a mask jail? Will there be a prison for people who refuse to wear a mask? I'm serious. They're going to lock people up? You're just going to give you a fine? You're going to pay a fine if you refuse to wear a mask? I saw a conservative activist got kicked off a flight. He was trying to get to Tulsa, uh, on an airplane. They kicked him off the plane. I believe it was American Airlines.

We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed. Now, unless there is a video from 3 different angles, no one cares what you have to say. With all this talk about racism and racist cops, I've never seen people treated differently because of their race. And while I know that cowards that have never done this job will call me a racist for saying it, all I've ever seen was criminal behavior and cops trying to stop it. And they didn't give a rip what their skin color was. I've seen cops help and save any type of race, gender, or ethnicity you can think of. And while that used to mean something, no one cares anymore. I've been called every name you can think of, and many of them with racial overtones. And it's never come from cops. I've watched African American cops take the brunt of this and even talked one rookie out of quitting after he was berated by a lot of cowards that had the same skin color.

Okay, everybody, male-female hour. So Jimmy Kimmel, it's just come out, it's 2009. I said 2011. 2009. He had the 23-year-old Megan Fox on his show. She related a story about being in a movie, Michael Bay the director, and she was 15 and she was in some scene in the background. She was supposed to go to a bar, but she couldn't go to the bar in the, in the movie because she's 15 and she can't have a drink in her hand or be in a bar. So instead, for whatever reason, I never quite understood how this worked out. Okay, so you can't be at a bar, but you can be under a waterfall. But be that as it may, she was in a bikini, red hat, and 6-inch heels. And she says, okay, so go under the waterfall and dance. And she does. She tells the scene. And then she adds that, uh, let's see, I want to, I want to read it to you rather than, uh, so his solution to the problem, this is what she's telling Jimmy Kimmel in 20 No, no, no, continue. That's crit— no, no, no, that some of us have the decent— that's, that's the punchline. Okay, fine. So he— so I'll give you an example of some of the tweets here. His response is even worse. What the hell? Uh, let's see here. The single notch he did after his quote joke. It— but it wasn't a joke. Kimmel was not cracking a joke when he said, this is what we all think, but the decent ones of us don't express it or repress it. That single nod she did after his joke, I haven't seen that single nod. I'm saying it doesn't exist. I haven't seen, I've only listened. Was the exact moment she realized all men are the same, and it probably scared the S out of her to get that response from a TV host with so much power. And another, let's see, what an utterly disgusting take. This is Two Fingers Media. A male is in the picture. What an utterly disgusting take. Did I say joke? Take by Kimmel. Why is I'm so sorry that happened to you something that is beyond his imagination to say? Instead, he offers, we all have those thoughts, but we repress them. Who the hell is we? Okay. So anyway, there's a lot of that. This is why what has happened in the last half century, really, this is all, this is not new. It's worse today, but it's been developing. You don't learn truth at college. The left is a make-believe world. Yes, he is right, Jimmy Kimmel. That is how we think. That is correct. Might I ask a question? Would you allow your daughter to go on a movie set at 15 in a bikini and high heels? Is that not a fair question? And then if a man has a sexual thought with regard to that, he, he is scum. The, the, I'm, we're living in a make-believe world. Kimmel is right. You have those thoughts just like Michael, Michael Bay, but you don't express them and you try to repress them. The, the brain doesn't know 15 from 18. The, or the mind knows it and the mind therefore does nothing about it, correct? That's a given. That's why a dominant theme of everything that I write and broadcast is behavior matters, not thoughts. You judge people by their thoughts? That's what the left does, by the way. That is what the left does. It's an— this is all a product of the denial of reality. Oh my God, what Jimmy Kimmel said, that is so disgusting. Why? Because the question isn't— isn't— is not, was it disgusting? The question is, was it true? What is a normal heterosexual male supposed to think about a girl in the bikini and high-heeled shoes under a waterfall. What a lovely bikini. Wonder where she got those high heels. Where'd you get your PhD that you find it so disgusting? What women's studies program taught you that this is disgusting? Now, is it a problem? It sure is. Male sexuality is a problem. That is entirely correct. By the way, female emotions are a problem too. Both sexes have big battles with their natures. If you know one college that has taught that to its students, or high school, the odds are, if it exists, it is a profoundly religious school. Most religious schools are worthless, unfortunately. 1-800-PREGGER, 776-877-243-7776 is the number. If you differ, I'd be happy to put you on early, if not first. The truly scared of life reaction.

Hey there, folks, welcome. I'm talking to my friend Dinesh D'Souza. He has a new book out today. It's called United States of Socialism: Who's Behind It, Why It's Evil, How to Stop It. I have to say that I have been fascinated, not necessarily too surprised, by the cravenness of American corporations in their dealings with China. They're willing to do business with people whose view of human rights in the Communist Party in China is not that different from slave owners in America before the Civil War. In other words, it's very, very dirty money, and they don't seem to be using the power they have to get leverage over the human rights situation. They simply seem to be willing to let it ride. And it seems that Trump is the first president we've had that has identified the problem and that is willing to take on China, which is of course a vast socialist communist power. What do you think of that situation?

I think for corporations, you're quite right. They don't have any patriotic loyalty to the United States. They're happy to offshore, if you will, the slave labor. They're just looking at what by and large is called the China price. In other words, if they can make something cheaper over there, we're just gonna get it over there, mark it up, and then sell it over here. So Trump is fundamentally, he's a capitalist, but I think even more than that, he's a patriot. And he loves the country and he looks out for America's interests. And he's kind of not bashful about that. And that itself is a little bit of a shock. So I think Trump in that sense is redefining the Republican Party and essentially considering trade itself as part of the political process, which of course it is.

Reviewing the naïveté about men that pervades our culture and defending a man I don't particularly admire Dennis Prager, but he's worthy of defense. And he— I— what is he— has he made any statements now? Anyway, I'll come back to that in a moment. I just want to tell you about flattenthefear.com. We live in the age of hysteria, as you know.

Dennis Prager here. Jimmy Kimmel's response to Megan Fox in 2009, which has just come out. First of all, they describe his response as a joke. What's the joke? This is, you know, Michael Bay had these sexual thoughts, the director. She was 15, wore a bikini, cowboy hat, and 6-inch boots. So this, you see, you want, you understand the war against the truth being waged by the left in this country, in the media and in academia. What Jimmy Kimmel said was the truth. That is exactly said. That's, that's how we all think. It's just that decent men have to repress it. That's exactly right. Decent men work on repressing their sexual nature every day of their lives till they drop dead. Okay, just a notice to you about your husband, about your brother, about your father, about your son. That's the way it works. We do not have your nature. We are not women in male bodies. But women would like that, just like some ways men would like women to be men in female bodies. And the idea that a man a man should not even have an erotic thought, a sexual thought, because it's the girl is 15 and in a bikini under a waterfall and wearing high heels. You have to have gone to college to be that moronic about human nature. It is actually angering to me that I have to even say these things and that what he said was controversial. The audience laughed because it was the laughter of recognition of truth. But he couldn't say that today. And unfortunately, the whole point is Jimmy Kimmel is part of the world that represses the truth. But that you all get devoured by the left. That's the thing. You feed the monster. You think you will— it's sort of like paying protection to the mafia. I'll go along with what the left says until I get devoured. So Jimmy Kimmel is now getting devoured by the very people he has sided with, which happens almost all the time. That's why it's nice to be courageous the whole time and stand up for what is true, whether it's about sexuality and quote-unquote misogyny or racism or whatever it might be.

He used to run a show on Comedy Central called The Man Show, and one of those things about it was they'd end every show with women in bikinis jumping on trampolines. And I mean, up for them, for people to go after him for a comment like that when he has much more of a history Dennis Prager. It just seems like it's very, you know, cherry-picking really stupid stuff and never really being accountable for what's really bad that's out there.

Well, it is.

It is.

I, I never saw the show. I know of the show. I'm very close to his buddy Adam Carolla. I adore— truly terrific human being. And I'll comment upon return, take more calls. If you're in pain, I would like you to try to get out of it in a thoroughly safe way, and that is by trying Relief Factor. Relief Factor has a 3-week plan. Take it for 3 weeks. You'll see if it works. If it doesn't work, you're out $19.95 and shipping. That's it. And if it does work, you get charged the regular rate and you're out of pain.

The president was interviewed, I think it was on Fox News, I think with Sean Hannity. The president responded to what happened with, I think, I don't think this is a controversial view, but maybe you do. Here was the president last night with Sean on Fox News Channel.

I thought it was a terrible situation, but you can't resist a police officer, and you know, if you have a disagreement judgment. You have to take it up after the fact. It was a very sad, very, very sad thing. It's going to be up to justice. I hope he gets a fair shake because police have not been treated fairly in our country. They have not been treated fairly.

Is President Trump controversial with that remark? It was a very sad thing. He said it was a terrible thing, but you can't resist the police. Is resisting the police acceptable to anybody? Thank you to whoever texted me on the MyPillow text line the image of Leslie Nielsen. I think it's from Naked Gun.

In the 3-year turnaround, which is the best economic turnaround in U.S. history, Hugh, under President Trump's leadership, 2.5 million people pulled themselves out of poverty. We don't talk about that, but that is in contrast with the failure of the Great Society's War on Poverty. Over 50 years failed to move the poverty line at all. And President Trump comes in and does it. In the African American community, we have the lowest unemployment in U.S. history right now, the highest middle class income ever measured. President Trump has done more through justice reform, HBCUs, which are our historic Black colleges and universities, and our opportunity zones that Tim Scott has helped author, has done more good for that community than any president in the last decade, last 100 years, really.

I think the president is upholding the Constitution On Sunday, we had Colin Powell say he's drifting from it. I wrote a Washington Post editorial this morning saying that's absurd. What's your assessment of Donald Trump's fealty, his loyalty to the Constitution?

This man is committed to the Constitution. If you look at everything he's done in standing up for America with our allies and others who would do us harm, this man has made sure the world knows that America first doesn't mean America alone. But this is the first president we've had in 57 years 60 years, Hugh, that has told the rest of the world what's important to us. I think that's very refreshing, and we've got to give him a second term.

I believe this whole election is about the Constitution. I think Donald Trump is the Constitution candidate, and I think Joe Biden and the Democratic Party is off the rails to the left. Your assessment?

Well, the Democrats are trying to perpetrate a socialist agenda that you heard in the presidential debate, Hugh.

The real reason Jimmy Kimmel is going into hiding. Well, if nothing else, it proves I'm fair, because he, he is part of the reason for the leftist totalitarianism we're seeing. And it always eats its members. Always. It's a shark. The left is sort of like this. It just devours everything, including its own. But anyway, in this matter, I totally defend him. He made a true statement about how men think and is being excoriated for it back in 2009. Megan Fox, by the way, has come out and said and defended him. And, you know, I don't see what he said that was all that offensive. The denial of male sexual nature, while at the same time the elevation of women's emotional nature, has not been a very good development in society. All right. Let's go to more of your calls here. Zach in Downers Grove, Illinois. Hi.

Hi, Dennis.

Hi.

Hi. So I guess just to play a devil's advocate here, I think it's something that maybe it can or will not be advocated or articulated by the left, but I think the thing that might be considered wrong is not necessarily the comment about the truth of the sexual nature, but the fact that Michael Bay to some degree acted on that by, you know, having a 15-year-old be in such a sexualized scene when she's underage, and he didn't, um, you know, he He didn't say one way or another about that. No, he did.

No, no, no, I don't think that's true because he did say decent people repress those thoughts. He was contrasting himself with Michael Bay. The implicit comment was Michael Bay was not acting decently.

Okay, I guess so. I just, I'm just, I guess I'm just trying to kind of—

No, no, no, no, no. Now that I've said that to you, does it sound plausible?

No, yes, I think so, but it wasn't, I guess it's just implicit at best, and so it's not—

Yes, because he's also a comedian and he's making a point about this is the male brain. We can't act on it, and we work to repress that. That was entirely accurate what Kimmel said. We live, you know, Zach is 29 years old. Zach has lived in the world of the lie by going to a school in the United States of America. Do you realize that? Whether it's about America or it is about men and women, Also, it is mind-boggling to me how sensitive— one of you was calling in on that. Maybe I'll just take your call. I think— yeah, David in Dallas. I'll let you make your own point. I won't make it for you. Go ahead.

Oh, Mr. Prager, how are you? I was thinking the exact same thing. Thank you for taking my call.

Thank you.

A quick, quick statement. As a father of two daughters, I always say little daughters are kind of God's payback to fathers because everything you you might have thought or did to somebody else's daughter when you weren't considering it. Oh, that is such a desire for it to happen to you.

That is really a powerful point. Yes, exactly.

So I just wanted to put that out. Right, right. Now, now, my comment is this, sir, and it is in a form of cognitive dissonance because I understand what Jimmy Kimmel did, Michael Bay. I understand what she's saying. Nobody should want— no grown man should want to to look at a 15-year-old girl as a sexual being. I get that. But my question is, how is it with the feminist movement and they promote women and to promote their sexuality and even in— and I hope I'm not crossing things over, but even in the homosexual movement, we have books, no, non-gender conformity. We expose children to all of these things at such a young age. How do you square that but yet you're mad at men looking at a woman when you keep telling her that she can put her sexuality out there in any way that she wants. And as a father, and like I said, having daughters, man, that's a tough discussion or argument to have with a woman.

Yes, well said. Uh, the, uh, the, the interesting thing is it's not the quote-unquote homosexual movement, it's actually the transgender, uh, movement. Which is completely unrelated. They try to put them together. I have asked for years why there is a T in LGBT. T has nothing to do with L, G, and B. Nothing. A gay man or gay woman can be just as upset by male, biological males competing in sports against biological females if they call themselves, if they identify as females, as a heterosexual. The T has nothing to do with LGB, but the LGBT movement does wish to end heteronormativity in general and the nuclear family in general. That is correct, they acknowledge it. Anyway, the big question is, all of a sudden, so the people who are so concerned with the innocence of the 15-year-old Megan Fox are okay with having 5-year-olds attend the, um, uh, drag queen story hour. Man wearing women's clothing, not, not transgender This is not even transgender. This is not a biological man who has decided to be a woman. This is a biological man as a man wearing women's clothing. That's right. So the innocence issue is a very interesting one for the feminist and other leftist movements. 1-8-Prager-776.

You know, the idea of shutting down our economy the economy was just awful. I mean, and by the way, the people who suffered the most, Larry, were the lowest income people, Black Americans. We had the best, do you know, Larry, from 2017 through 2020, what demographic group saw the fastest rise in incomes?

Blacks.

Black Americans. Yes. I knew you knew that. And wait a minute, how could that happen? We've got a racist president. How could that have happened? We had more economic advance in 3 years for Black Americans under Trump than we did in 8 years under Obama.

Stephen Moore is my guest. He was an economic advisor to President Trump. President Trump, to me— I could be completely wrong, you would know more than I would about this— instinctively, he didn't want to shut down the economy, did he?

Oh, Trump did not want to shut down the economy. No way. He got terrible advice from Fauci, who's, you know, a disaster as his health advisor. And I'll tell you this, you know, we can't undo what has been done. But Donald Trump is not gonna shut down this economy again, I guarantee you that. I mean, now the left is saying, oh, we have to shut down the economy again 'cause we've had a few more cases of coronavirus. No, we, look, the vast, vast, vast majority of the people who've gotten very sick and have died from coronavirus are people that are over the age of 65 or 70. So let's keep those people healthy. But you know, we've gotta get, you can't keep an economy down. And I actually think it's because we did this, we locked down the economy for 2 or 3 months, that we have these riots in the streets. You can't keep young people locked up with nothing to do, no jobs to go to, no income for 2 or 3 months and expect— you're creating a tinderbox and it was just waiting for a match.

Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, Falkirk Center, Liberty University. Let's talk about what, college campuses in America? Because Turning Point USA, you do a lot of speaking at college campuses because they are the places really that they're the incubators of the woke madness. Yeah, I mean, cultural Marxism.

So I want everyone to watch the news very carefully the next 6 months. When you see outward radicalism, hatred of our country, statements by Joe Biden or by leading Democrats that make your skin crawl, I want everyone listening to this to take a step back and ask, where did this come from? And it came from the universities. These ideas were given merit and basis through higher education and college campuses, through an intelligentsia of left-wing Marxist radicals that have been given undeserved credibility for absolute garbage, foolish ideas. For everyone listening to this, if you are worried about— Most Americans think they know about what happened in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9th, 2014 is wrong based on misinformation. Larry Elder tells you the truth in this week's Prager University video. See it at PragerU.com, where we teach what isn't taught. Okay everybody, I played for you the Jimmy Kimmel dialogue with Megan Fox of 2009. She was just 23 then. She was reporting on an incident at 15. He spoke truths then that couldn't be spoken now. Sometimes people are caught having said something which was wrong 10, 20 years ago, but of course there's no forgiveness on the left, including for leftists. It's a human devouring machine. But what he said then was actually accurate, and he's being criticized, if not pilloried, for that. The reason that I raise this, secondarily to tell you what's happening in America today where truths cannot be stated. Really, we live in— it's a world of the lie that has been created at our colleges and high schools and media. That's— but that is the secondary reason. It's the male-female hour. The primary reason is to understand male sexuality and how truth about it has to be suppressed. In the name of what? I'm not even sure of what. The man said the decent among us have to work on repressing those thoughts. I mean, he almost sounded like a priest or a rabbi or a minister. Sister. That's exactly correct. A 15-year-old in a bikini and high heels who has a developed body looks the same as a 25-year-old woman in a bikini. What— you can't act on it, and she shouldn't have even been in the role. I don't— I, if I were her parent, I would never have let her mother have that role, but that's also a secondary point. But the libido does not know the difference. Anyway, throughout history, women at 15 were married. What is accurate is there is something wrong with a man if he has these thoughts on a prepubescent female, then that, that's a bad sign. That's— it's one of the only times that I would say that thoughts are a really bad sign. And people I respect in psychiatry say that there's really little that can be done about such men. We just have to make sure they don't act on it. Anyway, a dose of reality on the Male-Female Hour. I'm Dennis Prager.

This is Lon Heaton of the Hoover Institution for Townhall.com. Public health officials across America have spent the last several months months' warning about the dangers of the coronavirus and the need for us to stay at home, halt economic activity, and avoid social interactions with our friends and neighbors. We are now reopening our economy in many parts of the country, but these same public health officials have compromised their own credibility as we do so. On the one hand, they've urged caution and a slow return to work, school, and faith gatherings. They've criticized those who oppose the stay-at-home orders. But at the same time, these officials have been broadly supportive of the large protests on America's streets in the last few weeks. Public health officials should be helping us understand the comparative risks of activities, not endorsing the causes they like while prohibiting the ones they don't. Their hypocrisy is costly indeed. They have impacted our ability to address future health crises. I'm Lon Hee Chen.

I think the New York media is describing Florida as coronavirus raging through the state. That's literally the word they're using, at least in the New York Post. But there's a peculiar— there's a peculiarity about these, these, uh, data-driven news reports. All the— always at the bottom of the article, at the end of the report They admit that deaths and hospitalizations are down and hospital capacity is nowhere near being stretched thin. I don't understand it any more than I can make sense of a, of a guy like Anthony Fauci who told us that masks don't work and they're not effective and you shouldn't go around wearing a mask, you're causing more problems than, than solutions. And then admitting that those were lies because they were worried that we would, you know, scarf up all the face masks from the hospital workers. And now if you live in California, soon-to-be Texas, Tampa, Florida, you don't wear a mask, I guess you're breaking the law. I don't know what they're gonna do to you if you don't have a mask. Think there'll be a mask jail? Will there be a prison for people who refuse to wear a mask? I'm serious. They're going to lock people up? You're just going to give you a fine? You're going to pay a fine if you refuse to wear a mask? I saw a conservative activist got kicked off a flight. He was trying to get to Tulsa, uh, on an airplane. They kicked him off the plane.

With all this talk about racism and racist cops, I've never seen people treated differently because of their race. And while I know that cowards that have never done this job will call me a racist for saying it, all I've ever seen was criminal behavior and cops trying to stop it, and they didn't give a rip what their skin color was. I've seen cops help and save any type of race, gender, or ethnicity you can think of, and while that used to mean something, no one cares anymore. I've been called every name you can think of, and many of them with racial overtones, and it's never come from cops. I've watched African-American cops take the brunt of this and even talked one rookie out of quitting after he was berated by a lot of cowards that had the same skin color as him.

I am reading from the Financial Times headline: Pompeo castigates Bolton as a traitor. Mike Pompeo, the U.S. Secretary of State, has hit out at John Bolton, calling his former colleague a traitor and accusing Donald Trump's ex-national security adviser of lies in his new memoir. John Bolton is spreading a number of lies, fully spun half-truths, and outright falsehoods, Mr. Pompeo said about the Room Where It Happened Mr. Bolton's new book that is scheduled for release next Tuesday. In a statement headlined, I Was in the Room Too, Mr. Pompeo said it was both sad and dangerous that John Bolton's final public role is that of a traitor who damaged America by violating his sacred trust with its people. Strong words. I just don't like memoirs, which are tell-alls. Now, I read memoirs. I'm reading Bob Gates's new book, which will have anecdotes in it. I'm sure he submitted it for the review of the appropriate authorities to make sure that we do not give away any methods or source. It results in death. That's why the Pentagon Papers was not a moment of virtue for this country. It was a moment of assassination by Daniel Ellsberg and those who cheered it. It resulted in the deaths of people who could be traced in their cooperation with the United States government by the North Vietnamese after they triumphed after the United States cut and ran from Vietnam in 1975. 1974, uh, 1975, excuse me. So no, I just don't believe in it. You got to put your books in for review. There have been memoirs by Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, by Vice President Cheney, by George W. Bush, by Condoleezza Rice.

You write in your book, uh, Amity Schlaes, quote, most Americans shared something else with Harrington: confidence.

Yes, everybody, I admit I feel like sort of an island of truth and common sense in the America of today. There, I'm not the only island, thank God, but I am one of them. Think about what just happened with the car driver, the NASCAR car driver, Bubba Wallace, saying that he saw a noose, and the lying, America-hating left which is redundant. I want you to hear them. I want— I'd like you to play that montage, Sean. This is comments on what turned out not to be a noose, which is what I assumed from the beginning, because 99% of the time that is exactly what happens. This is though— this is the way people reacted on American media. —horrifying, racist, jarring, disturbing, heinous, perverted, ugly, cowardly, dreadful, hateful, stunning, shocking, appalling, disgusting reminder of who, again, this sport is for. A noose found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace.

Obviously, this is completely appalling, but do you think it's surprising?

No, it's not surprising.

Surprising at all. And NASCAR is often considered a sport that is tethered to white folk, tethered to the South.

The Confederate flag in a sport that is overwhelmingly white and certainly dominant among Southerners.

NASCAR has been trying to somewhat move away from it, and I say somewhat in kind of air quotes.

They were going to remove Confederate imagery.

To think that that's going to happen in a span of 2 weeks after all that NASCAR has, has been for all of its existence is foolish. I mean, my cynicism and sadness is that it's just not shocking to anybody. As much as NASCAR may try to distance itself from that, it's a living, breathing part of their sport. We need to understand that racism continues to be the underbelly of American society.

I mean, that this happens in the year 2020 is just beyond belief.

Let's just remember that until the last 2 weeks, NASCAR NASCAR endorsed and embraced this sort of performative racism week in and week out by embracing and wrapping itself in the Confederate flag.

Okay. The ease with which the left lies is comparable to the ease with which you eat or breathe. The hatred of America on the left, to deny the left hates America is to truly lie to yourself, which is the worst form of lying, because there's— then there's no hope. Liberals love America. Conservatives love America. But the left hates it. And the liberals are cowed into cowardice, not confronting the left. But they'll be eaten up, just like Jimmy Kimmel's being eaten up. Talked about that last hour. No matter how much you hate Trump, the left will still eat you up. Devours its own because its meaning comes from destruction. What has the left constructed? Nothing. What has it destroyed? Everything it has touched. So it turns out, and this guy is so unimpressive as to make me despair for the human condition, a decent human being would have said, boy, am I relieved, right? That's what a decent person would say. I'm a Jew. If I found a swastika in my room and it turns out that somebody was doing a report on Hitler 30 or 5 years ago, and they just left it there, and it was never directed against me, I would go, isn't that wonderful? It's so nice to be reassured that the guys I'm in this sport with are not like that. He's not decent. This, you see, Everybody makes mistakes, so you would say there are no decent people if every mistake invalidates your decency. But some are so big that they seem— I don't know this guy from Adam, I don't know NASCAR racing, but I do know that sometimes Geiger counters do in fact blare so loud that they have found uranium. Get it? I have a sort of decency-indecency Geiger counter. It didn't take long for me to know that Jordan Peterson was among the most decent human beings that I know of. And it doesn't take me long to assess this guy, Bubba— what's his last name? I don't know why I can't remember that. Was there a Bubba Phillips? I don't know why my name keeps filling in the name Phillips. Yeah, I told you, I have a names issue, which everybody has an issue. That's mine. It's okay, I'll live with it.

Bubba Wallace.

I was right. Bubba Phillips, an American baseball player, '55 to '64. And you didn't know that, Alan Estrin? You know every player who's played third base since Al Rosen and the Cleveland Indians. Hey, is that impressive or what? When did he— what did— who did he play for, Bubba Phillips? Tigers, White Sox, and Indians. I cannot believe they are allowing the Indians to keep their name. I cannot believe the White Sox are allowed to keep their name. No, the White Sox. Oh my God. Sox is short for supremacy. The white supremacists. The Chicago white supremacists. That is as logical as Uncle Ben is racist. So I knew nothing. I've always heard the name Uncle Ben when I heard it as a kid. Converted rice. Okay, Uncle Ben Rice. I don't— I had no idea what the package looked like. I looked at it. It is a distinguished Black man in a suit jacket or sport jacket, we don't know. White shirt, black bow tie with a nice little, you know, a smile. If that's racist, then it is— it is— the word has become literally meaningless. And of course they have caved in. Who owns that? Mars? People who make M&Ms and stuff? My wife told me she went to their Twitter page or something, and it's overwhelmingly people saying don't get rid of the picture.

I want to know.

So I looked at New York Daily News, a left-wing paper, as opposed to the New York Post, one of the last remaining non-left-wing papers, and they declared it because he's called Uncle. So why get rid of the picture? Name him Mr. Ben. So I was unaware of this. I mean, I don't deny it. I'm just saying I was unaware of it, that during the considerably more racist past that did exist in the United States, you didn't refer to a Black man as mister. I don't know if that's true. I mean, racists didn't. Did the average person not? I don't know the answer. I just don't know. You mean if you met a black person in a place of work and you would say, this is Uncle Ted, not Mr. Johnson? A little odd, isn't it? You find it odd? Not to mention that uncle is pretty endearing. I mean, you know how many people say I'm like their uncle? I find it very— I mean, Uncle Denny, I mean, it's not an uncommon appellation for me. Uncle Dennis, not Denny. Uncle Dennis. I didn't realize it had anti-Semitic connotations. All you need to stand up to the left, the only— you need two things, just two things. They're there, but they're big: truth and courage. Courage is tougher, but they hate the truth. That's why Twitter, YouTube, Google, Facebook try to suppress The president says he will not allow property destroyed in DC, and Twitter says it's an irresponsible comment. They tag it.

The prolonged periods of joblessness were what had made the Depression great, but the memory of the New Deal failure had faded just enough that younger people liked the sound of the term, and memories of more recent successes fueled Americans' current ambitions. Many men were veterans." This confidence that we could reorient society, we could cure poverty, as you pointed out, this is what drove a lot of this stuff.

Oh yes, well, you know, it's always— I was looking at a flip chart, a flip picture today, you know, on the internet where they said, well, racism is a result of capitalism.

Anyway, I told her, because I know that she's been hit financially having, you know, not been able to work for 4 months, I said, listen, you want to save on your phone this thing called PureTalk. $20 a month, unlimited text. I mean, I sounded like a commercial, but it shows you how sincere I am about this product. So PureTalk, $20 a month, 2 gigabytes of data, unlimited text, unlimited talk, free or included, and you get 50% off your first month. Dial #250, say the keyword Dennis Prager. Wow, I'm flattered. They'll pound $2.50, say the keyword Dennis Prager, Pure Talk USA, Simply Smarter Wireless. Nice, nice, nice. Hello, nice. Hello. God, this is something here. Remember, I, I remember my— how, how often— I'm not going to play it again. Don't play it again, Sean. But I regularly played for you Barack Obama's comment in 2008, "We are 5 days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." It is not possible to love what you wish to fundamentally transform, and that is why the left is the enemy of the United States. Not liberals, the left. It is. They hate the country. I mean, what do they play? What's her— what is this woman's name on CNN? Play her. Angela Rye. Is she a CNN correspondent or a regular? She's a commentator. They're all commentators. Let's be honest, everybody on CNN is a commentator.

Okay, go ahead. I appreciate, um, at least your word choice on two of the things that you mentioned.

One is how we become anti-racist, and it is going to take a very deliberate effort because we know this country was built on a system of oppression and systemic racism, white supremacy. So in order to tear down all of that, you have to uproot a lot of what is this country's foundation. That is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable, the ways in which so many of us are uncomfortable every single day. So uproot, what was the words? Uproot what? The foundations of— you have to uproot a lot of what this country— what is this country's foundation? That's the same thing as fundamentally transform. Well, they're never quite specific. What would you like to uproot? To say to uproot racism is like saying uproot bad. I would like to uproot everything bad. I'd like to uproot all the antisemitism that exists. I would like to uproot all bad things. Root a lot of what is this country's foundation.

That is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable.

That's right, the way she's uncomfortable every day, poor thing. Commentator on CNN, a high-powered lawyer. She's uncomfortable every day. Oh, she's doubly uncomfortable as a Black and as a woman. She should, uh, she should develop the ability to appreciate what is good. She has it really good. But I do wonder if she's married and has children. I tend to think that most people complain less when they when they have that, because they have other things to think about. I'd like to share with you a theory I have. This is truly theory. I have no proof. However, I've been led pretty accurately by my theories in life, ability to see some data and make some rule. Out of it, some insight. It occurred to me, for at least a year now, looking at pictures of demonstrators, one day it occurred to me, wow, I see a lot more women than men in that picture. So I've just started collecting them, and the latest is a statue that was torn down, and there's a picture of two young women kicking the statue. No men around, just these two women kicking the statue. Obviously, the people taking these photographs have no agenda. So there are times I count And it is two-thirds women that you could actually identify as such in, in the picture. Does that resonate with any of you? Does that, uh, I'm very curious because I'm totally open to having mistaken all these photos for the greater reality. I'm very curious if that is— if you know people who go young, especially young, it's mostly young now, in part because they have nothing to do. COVID is, uh, you know, they literally, literally have nothing to do. This is the, the first time they get out of the house, they get to be with other people. It's like an event. Do some sincerely believe that the country is racist? Yes. So what? The amount of lies people have sincerely believed in history can fill an encyclopedia. I've never found sincerity to be an excuse, ever. Is— I guess sincerity is nicer than insincerity, but it's morally worthless. That's a good line. She'll never remember I said, sincerity is definitely better than insincerity, but it remains morally worthless. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, tell me if you have a sense of that. Not only do I have a theory, that theory, but I have a theory as to why. Welcome to the Theory About Theories About Life Show, aka the Dennis Prager Show. We shall return.

This is Lon Heaton of the Hoover Institution for Townhall.com. Public health officials across America have spent the last several months warning about the dangers of the coronavirus. Virus and the need for us to stay at home, halt economic activity, and avoid social interactions with our friends and neighbors. We are now reopening our economy in many parts of the country, but these same public health officials have compromised their own credibility as we do so. On the one hand, they've urged caution and a slow return to work, school, and faith gatherings. They've criticized those who oppose the stay-at-home orders. But at the same time, these officials have been broadly supportive of the large protests on America's streets in the last few weeks weeks. Public health officials should be helping us understand the comparative risks of activities, not endorsing the causes they like while prohibiting the ones they don't. Their hypocrisy is costly indeed. They have impacted our ability to address future health crises.

I think the New York media is describing Florida as coronavirus raging through the state. That's literally the word they're using, at least in the New York Post. But there's a peculiar— there's a peculiarity about these, these data-driven news reports. All the— but always at the bottom of the article, at the end of the report, They admit that deaths and hospitalizations are down and hospital capacity is nowhere near being stretched thin. I don't understand it any more than I can make sense of a, of a guy like Anthony Fauci who told us that masks don't work and they're not effective and you shouldn't go around wearing a mask, you're causing more problems than, than solutions. And then admitting that those were lies because they were worried that we would, you know, scarf up all the face masks from the hospital workers. And now if you live in California, soon-to-be Texas, Tampa, Florida, you don't wear a mask, I guess you're breaking the law. I don't know what they're gonna do to you if you don't have a mask. Think there'll be a mask jail? Will there be a prison for people who refuse to wear a mask? I'm serious. They're going to lock people up? You're just going to give you a fine? You're going to pay a fine if you refuse to wear a mask? I saw a conservative activist got kicked off a flight. He was trying to get to Tulsa, uh, on an airplane. They kicked him off the plane. I believe it was American Airlines. Keep up with what's trending.

We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed. Now, unless there is a video from 3 different angles, no one cares what you have to say. With all this talk about racism and racist cops, I've never seen people treated differently because of their race. And while I know that cowards that have never done this job will call me a racist for saying it, all I've ever seen was criminal behavior and cops trying to stop it, and they didn't give a rip what their skin color was. I've seen cops help and save any type of race, gender, or ethnicity you can think of, and while that used to mean something, no one cares anymore. I've been called every name you can think of, and many of them with racial overtones, and it's never come from cops. I've watched African-American cops take the brunt of this and even talked one rookie out of quitting after he was berated by a lot of cowards that had the same skin color as him. I've never heard— I've heard words I never heard before coming a cop. Uncle Tom, cracker, pig, and the N-word, just to name a few.

A shock, I see one line open. It is usually shocking. So I just want you to know that. EK in Chicago. Dennis Prager, hi.

Hey Dennis, been a big fan of yours all the way back to the days of Ira Fustel and Ray Breen, so you know how long I go back.

You go back, I'll tell you, you go back to your early 30s.

Uh, no, I go back to my early 20s. Oh wow, you're talking about— we're talking about '84, '85 with Cage. That's right. Yes, exactly. That's how far— that's how far back I go. That's the kind of fan I am. Let me be quick with this because I know you have—

wait, wait, I got a question. Why did you move from LA to Chicago?

It was weird. I had some business out here, and I've met you before. You signed, uh, I got a signed copy of your book. I think you know who I am. You may have an idea.

I think— I think I do, yes.

Yes. Yes. Okay. So I'm actually in the entertainment business now. I manage a couple of rappers, believe it or not. So I spend a lot of time on social media, Black social media primarily. And I have noticed a distinct change in the views, the— over the views that they have towards BLM now, especially after you had all of that carnage in our city in Chicago over the Father's Day weekend. And fully 50% of the posts were Where's BLM? Where's Al Sharpton? Where's Jesse Jackson? Where's LeBron James? And they're all starting to see that it's all nonsense. You had 104 people shot, 11 people killed, and one of those killed was a 3-year-old boy. And they're like, we're having all this protest and all of these riots over one guy getting killed, and the cop has been arrested, he's gonna be charged, and no one thought it was— no one condoned it. And you had 11 times as many people killed in one weekend in one city, and not one protest. So people are starting to wake up.

That's big. No, EK, that's big.

It is huge. Let me do one more quick thing I think you'll get a kick out of. I have a 16-year-old son, and I— and I— he's been raised in a fairly affluent suburb of Chicago. He goes to a very good school that has that mixed race. They have a lot of different races there. And he told me he was going out with a new friend that he had. They were gonna go race their little remote control cars or whatever. And I was like, okay, great. And I said, by the way, what color is he? And he looked at me kind of perplexed and he said, what difference does it make? And I said, I'm raising you right. So I thought you'd get a kick out of that.

I do remember you. Yeah. All right. Well, I look forward to seeing you again. This was, this was one of the most uplifting calls of the last 4 months. That's it. If that— I have no doubt that it's true, but I don't know how representative, obviously. Where's Al Sharpton? That's a great one. Where's BLM? I told you, the answer to Black Lives Matter is not all lives matter. You just— you're just falling into their trap. The answer to Black Lives Matter is all black lives matter. Matter, because they don't believe that. Nobody on the left— the left believes Black Lives Matter under two conditions: if it's useful to the left to bring down Trump and gain more Democratic voters, and when killed by a white, which is exceedingly rare, by the way, spectacularly rare that a Black is killed by a white. White. It's overwhelmingly more likely if there is interracial murder that it is a black killing a white. Not often reported in the New York Times or CNN because they're as interested in truth as Pravda was. That's why it was called Truth Pravda. Sid in Granada Hills, California, I might add the famous Sid of Granada Hills.

Hi, that's me. That is you. Hi, Dennis, you, you and I go back a long way.

All these people from my past.

Anyway, the reason I'm calling is to follow up on the evangelicals, now professional societies. I'm a member of the American Psychiatric Association, and I'd like to read you a comment from this week's Psychiatric News. And this is what their policy is going to be regarding action on racism. We have to acknowledge that psychiatry has been built on the same foundation that has led to brutality in policing, poor health policy, and social, judicial, and economic inequities. They have one group of people down below a line and another group of people below the line, and unaware of their privilege. We are part of that system. And I just don't know where they're coming from. Are they saying that Freud and Kraepelin and Alexander, we should not believe them? I'm writing to the president of the APA wanting to understand this policy.

I am a fan of psychiatry. I'm even a fan of Freud with all his difficulties, but the American Psychiatric Association has been morally pathetic all of my life.

Well, they reached a new low, I'm afraid to say.

Um, are you a psychiatrist?

Yes, I am. You know what I need to do?

See, if I, if I could clone me— I'm not joking— uh, there are so many psychotherapists who've called me who were— have your values. I gotta— you gotta all know each other. What, what am I doing? It's a joy to do Relief Factor because it brings a relief from pain. You know, pain is a— is it— this is going to sound like silly. It's not silly. Pain is bad for you. Well, you say, of course, I hate pain. Yes, but even if you can live with it, it affects you. ReliefFactor.com, 800-583-84.

In the 3-year turnaround, which is the best economic turnaround in U.S. history, Hugh, under President Trump's leadership. 2.5 million people pulled themselves out of poverty. We don't talk about that, but that is in contrast with the failure of the Great Society's War on Poverty. Over 50 years failed to move the poverty line at all, and President Trump comes in and does it. In the African-American community, we have the lowest unemployment in U.S. history right now, the highest middle-class income ever measured. President Trump has done more through justice reform, HBCUs, which are our historic black colleges and universities, our universities and our opportunity zones that Tim Scott has helped author has done more good for that community than any president in the last decade, last 100 years, really.

I think the president is upholding the Constitution. On Sunday, we had Colin Powell say he's drifting from it. I wrote a Washington Post editorial this morning saying that's absurd. What's your assessment of Donald Trump's fealty, his loyalty to the Constitution?

This man is committed to the Constitution. If you look at everything he's done in standing up for America with our allies and others who would do This man has made sure the world knows that America first doesn't mean America alone, but this is the first president we've had in 50, 60 years, Hugh, that has told the rest of the world what's important to us. I think that's very refreshing and we've gotta give him a second term.

I believe this whole election is about the Constitution. I think Donald Trump is the Constitution candidate and I think Joe Biden and the Democratic Party is off the rails to the left. Your assessment?

Well, the Democrats are trying to perpetrate a socialist agenda that you heard in the presidential debate, Hugh. And you'll see it in the, in the general election with Biden. Biden is no moderate. He absolutely wants to perpetrate a socialist agenda on the people of America, and we're not going to let that happen.

You know, the idea of shutting down our economy was just, you know, awful. I mean, and by the way, the people who suffered the most, Larry, were the lowest income people, Black Americans. We had the best— do you know, Larry, from 2017 through 2020, what demographic group saw the fastest rise in incomes? Blacks. Black Americans. Yes, I knew you knew that. And, and, you know, wait a minute, how could that happen? We've got a racist president. How could that have happened?

Almost everything most Americans think they know about what happened in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9th, 2014 is wrong based on misinformation. Larry Elder tells you the truth in this week's Prager University video.

Right? That's why they— we would happily go on any of their shows. We would happily debate any of their people. They don't do that. That's why they made safe spaces at universities.

Larry Elder's film is UncleTom.com. Alrighty everybody, Dennis Prager here. And Rick in Costa Mesa, California, hello.

Yes, I am so happy to get through to you. I love what you said just a little bit ago. All black lives matter. Oh man, it was so to the point as I listened to all these wonderful call-ins and all these beautiful people. Shelby Steele, what a genius. Horace Cooper last night, so spot on. No, America is not a racist country. That's right. An individual mental illness by low IQ idiots of all races that are racist. It's just amazing. There is just, it's like a Marxist playbook. They're trying to separate us by race or by religion, any creed you can think of to separate people. And it's just, it's so obvious that news was the 11th news hoax. It was just a pulley in the NASCAR Black Lives Matter, you know, pit corral. And they pulled, you pulled the pulley down and the garage door closes. It's Amazing. And of course, you know, Al Sharpton, what an intellect, right? Al Sharpton saying, oh yeah, this is just proof of the Southern racist. What a bunch of— excuse me, that's correct.

Yes, I know. You know what it is? It's also amazing that it's not racist to say anything you want, any lie you make up about whites, and that that's not racist. Isn't that— it's just, it's an extraordinary thing that I'm telling you, men menstruate. If you believe that, then you also believe all whites are racist. That you can say anything. If you said all blacks are criminals, would you be considered a racist? You certainly would. Why is all whites are racist not the moral equivalent? Racism is evil, criminality is evil.

You may like this. If you can let me say this little statement. Black Lives Matter, you know, you said all Black Lives Matter. I love that. Black Lives Matter, I was going to change it to Black Lives Marxist because that's really the leader, the founding of this thing.

Yeah, we'll play that actually. Yes, you know what, I'm going to play that. I'm sorry to let you go, it's time. Play it right now. Do you have that? This is the founder of Black Lives Matter. What is it, 2 years ago? 2015. That's Patrisse Race, Colors. How do you respond to those kinds of, again, loving criticisms? I think that the criticism is helpful. I also think that it might— I think of a lot of things. The first thing I think is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super versed on sort of ideological theories. Okay, she's super versed on the ideology of which she is trained in Marxism. Okay. Hello, I'm a communist.

You open it up, says Bumble stands in solidarity with Black Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement. Really? Bumble is now a Marxist anti-American company.

America is racist. You realize that these destructive I'm talking about the peaceful protest, but the destructive riots. You don't see the pictures, press, because press is fake. Press does not show you all the damage done in New York and elsewhere. It was all predicated on something we don't even know is so. We don't know, as written in today's Wall Street Journal, Jason Riley, who is Black himself and writes for the Wall Street Journal. He— you should all read this piece, Police Racism Isn't an Epidemic. And he begins, so far we haven't seen a shred of evidence that George Floyd's death in police custody last month was racially motivated. Motivated. Do you realize that all of this was done because of the emotionality, which of course gripped anyone, of the video? Do you know how rare it is that in the last year we know of, I think 2018, about 15 unarmed blacks were killed? Most of them were attacking police officers, but even if It doesn't matter, just you should know that, 15. And 25 whites unarmed. But it doesn't matter. It's all, it's politically motivated and impassioned. That's why I came out with my sincerity line. A lot of these people, they're sincere about their anti-racism. I'm sincere about anti-racism. Racism is one of the most disgusting things people have ever come up with. That's why it's so important to deal with it honestly. Anyway, as I said about sincerity, it's better than insincerity, but it is morally worthless. That's the way it is. I'd like to read to you facts here from Jason Riley's column. I will tomorrow.
