The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

I do think that Americans are aware of that. Now, a couple of things about Biden changing the subject. Of course he wants to change the subject. Answer is, will a lot of the press— the question is, will a lot of the press go along with it? If you look at Politico's playbook this morning, I mean, just tiny, tiny little mention of Afghanistan, much more on the Biden agenda. On the other hand, Senator Blumenthal yesterday afternoon Dennis Prager posted a thread on Twitter: "My staff and I have worked night and day to secure the safe passage of two planes waiting in Masar-e Sharif to take American citizens, at-risk Afghan allies, and their families to safety. My office joined forces in this humanitarian mission with an incredible coalition of advocates, NGOs, former servicemen, and journalists to try to evacuate our fellow citizens and Afghan allies." By the way, NGOs, former service members, and journalists. Anybody missing from that list?

Like State Department and Pentagon.

Yep, exactly. So anyway, he goes on, uh, and so this is, as you point out, a Democratic senator, which may be necessary, uh, to give this issue enough credibility for some members of the press to pay attention.

Keep up with what's trending.

Not exactly sure how he does it, but he does it. The constantly in motion, always passionate, articulate Larry Elder. Larry, I voted for you. My whole family went on, let's see, was it Friday? I think it was Friday. We went to a polling station where we live. You were the 8th. The 8th. You had to scroll down 8 times to get to Larry Elder. Wow.

I think, Dennis, it's different ballot ordering in different districts. Oh, sometimes I'm at the top, sometimes in the middle, sometimes at the bottom. It depends on, on what district you live in.

I'm gonna— I know how I can prove to you that I voted. As long as I know you— I didn't know you had a middle initial.

That's right, it stands for Alan. Yeah, like, like, like, like you're— like you're— like your producer.

Uh, no, I think your parents knew that that would happen. Uh, there was— exactly, it was, it was great. So you showed up at this terrific event of, uh, of, uh, run by, uh, my station and your station, the local one. We were on many stations, but the local LA station, KRLA, huge sold-out event in Orange County. And I assume the audience went nuts when you came in.

They did. It was quite a reception.

I was very pleased.

Well, for good reason. I mean, there is a tremendous amount of love for you, not just support. In the political sense, but love and admiration. It's a big deal. And what's your latest thinking on the part that really counts, the recall of Newsom?

Well, Dennis, they've been pouring a lot of money into it. So far, at least $75 million. We suspect closer to $100 million before it's all said and done. And Barack Obama cut a commercial for him, and Bernie Sanders has cut a commercial for him, and Senator Warren's got a commercial for him, and Joe Biden is is here today to campaign on his behalf. So they've thrown a lot of lumber at me, but we still think it's within the margin of error on the recall side. And Republicans tend to vote later. They tend to vote in person. And so the polls that suggest that the recall is losing some momentum, we are suspicious about it because they tend to oversample Democrats. And again, none of these people that have come in to defend and support Gavin Newsom have uttered the following words: Gavin Newsom has done a good job for the people of California. They talk about it being a Republican takeover, and as you know, at first it was a takeover by white supremacists until I entered the race, and that talking point went away. But the LA Times, as you know, called me the blackface of white supremacy, so they're allowing other people to make comments like that.

Gene Guerrero repeated that yesterday. What was it, on MSNBC or CNN? I mean, it's a real statement of the low moral and intellectual level of our media that the LA Times did not fire her and CNN has her on, that she would call you the blackface of white supremacy, which she repeated again. There's no price paid for the most vile charges.

You know, and Dennis, a few days ago there was a front-page article about me in the New York Times. And it never mentioned that I'm Black. It never mentioned that I would be the first Black governor of California, which is fine with me. I've never made a big deal out of that. You know that, Dennis. I've never said that people should vote for me because I'm Black or vote against me because I'm Black. And frankly, after Barack Obama got elected president, seems to me everything else is anticlimactic. But if you want to play that game, on the very same page of The New York Times, on the other side of the page, was a big article about, quote, the first "female governor of New York," close quote.

Right.

A woman who only became governor because Cuomo resigned. So that was a big deal. She was the first because she had the D at the end of her name. I have an R at the end of my name, and I'm no longer black.

Yes, that's exactly right. What happened exactly at the LA Times editorial board with Guerrero?

Well, we had a whole, I think about an hour, with all these members of the LA Times editorial board. She was not listed as one of the persons who would be there, otherwise we would have protested. And then at the end of the hour, she pops up and wants to ask a question. And I refused to let her ask a question because she was not scheduled to be a participant. If she had been scheduled to be a participant, I would have quarreled and would have had her eliminated right then and there. And so we, meaning my communications director and I, did not allow her to ask her question. And she said, well, let me just ask the question anyway. You don't have to answer. And I said, no, you're not going to ask it at all. Until we shut her down.

So the editorial board, as it were, sprung her on you?

Exactly.

They said there would be about 6 people. They listed the names of the 6 people. She was not listed. And then all of a sudden she pops up near the end of the interview with the LA Times editorial board. The whole thing is on our website. You can watch the entire thing. And she tried to ask a question, not having informed us that she would be there at all.

So she claims you— she claimed on CNN yesterday you don't answer reporters' questions.

Well, A, she's not a reporter, and B, I answered all the questions up until the time she showed up. Again, this is all online. There were several people there from the LA Times editorial board, none of whom, by the way, happens to be conservative. Isn't that fascinating? You have a whole editorial board, all these members of the LA Times editorial board, not a single one is a conservative. Anyway, so, uh, that translates into I won't answer questions. Well, I won't answer questions about— from somebody who refers to me essentially as a black David Duke. I have a real problem with that.

Yes, it would be interesting to ask the board members. I know they're, they're there to ask you questions, but Are you comfortable with your newspaper saying that about me?

Dennis, I did ask that. That was the first thing. If you watch the thing again, it's on my website electelder.com, you can find it. The first several minutes were my asking them, are you okay with me being referred to as the black face of white supremacy? And initially they wouldn't answer. And I said, if somebody at Salem said something like that and someone asked me how I felt about it, I would give an opinion for a couple of reasons. One, I would have an opinion, and secondly, I would be concerned about the brand of Salem. Aren't you concerned about the brand of the LA Times when you have an opinion person referring to me as the blackface of white supremacy? And they kept saying, well, we don't really comment on what other people say, we don't really comment on what other people write. But the first several minutes of it were me essentially cross-examining them over the assertion that I'm the black face of white supremacy, and they felt very uncomfortable about my series of questions.

It's astonishing. By the way, you're right about they don't say anything about Newsom. I saw the Barack Obama ad. I must say to you, I think Barack Obama had just awakened from his night's sleep. Did you see the ad?

I did not.

It is, it is as passionless as I have ever seen Barack Obama. Well, and it has— you're right, it has nothing to do with Gavin Newsom, right?

Well, you know, Dennis, I have very strong feelings about Barack Obama. I think he's done a great deal of damage in race relations, right?

Hold on, Larry. I want, I want everybody to go to electelder.com. There's a, there's a link at DennisPrager.com. Or go straight there and donate these last days.

What does Byron York think?

Well, I think that Americans' feelings about US citizens being left behind in Afghanistan, I think those feelings are essentially folded in to the poll numbers that you're seeing, Biden's approval rating for his handling of the situation in Afghanistan, which are in the 20s. I mean, those are Nixon and Watergate poll numbers. So I do think that Americans are aware of that. Now, a couple of things about Biden changing the subject. Of course he wants wants to change the subject. Answer is, well, a lot of the press— question is, will a lot of the press go along with it? If you look at Politico's playbook this morning, I mean, just tiny, tiny little mention of Afghanistan, much more on the Biden agenda.

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

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

Um, let me know what you think. Hello, my friends. Dennis Prager here with one of the most important races in recent American history, the California recall. Of a governor who has only done damage because he's the governor who is Democrat. And all he's done is damage to the state of California. As businesses leave in the greatest numbers in California history, a net decrease in the population for the first time, actually leading to a decrease in the congressional representation, right? The schools are pathetic, and there is a tremendous alternative if Newsom is recalled. Larry Elder is who I have in mind. Larry will be speaking and honoring a World War II veteran and his family at Monterey Park City Hall. For those of you in that area or any area of LA, from 10 to 11 this morning, so shortly after we end our interview. So you want to get a picture with Larry Elder, you just want to help him, this is a great way. Go to the Monterey Park City Hall. So what is this with the World War II veteran?

Well, this is a Congressional Gold Medal ceremony, and as you know, Dennis, my dad received a Congressional Gold Medal. He received his posthumously. My dad was a Montford Point Marine. They were the first black Marines. And Congress gave them a Congressional Gold Medal after my dad had died. And so former Congressman Dana Rohrabacher arranged for a ceremony at Camp Pendleton here in California, and my dad received his posthumously. My brother Kirk and I were there for the ceremony. In fact, you can see the whole ceremony on YouTube. Just Google Staff Sergeant Randolph Elder and you can watch the whole thing.

What would your father, who, who did indeed grow up in in a racist America, or certainly racist parts of America, what would he say about the charge that America is systemically racist?

Well, he would be angry at us, meaning my brothers and me, if we use racism as an excuse, because he knew what real racism is. And when we were young, by young I'm talking about late 50s, my father said things are so different now, quote, the door is wide open. And that, of course, was well before the door was truly wide open. But compared to what my father faced, as far as he was concerned, opportunity was unlimited. So he would have very little patience with critical race theory, very little patience with reparations, very little patience with people complaining about oppression.

What do you see as The— if we had a chart, is the belief that America is anti-black rising, the same, or lowering in black America?

Well, it seems to me it's on the increase, and I blame in part people like Barack Obama. You know, when Barack Obama got elected, I think he won with 52% of the vote, something like that. Before he set foot in the Oval Office, Dennis, his popularity had increased to almost 70%, meaning a whole bunch of people who didn't vote for him still pulled for him because they assumed he was going to bring about racial reconciliation. And as you know, he repeatedly, in my opinion, went the wrong way. And that's one of the things that I find interesting about him. You know, Dennis, he cut a commercial for Gavin Newsom. One of the big things I'm running on is school choice. Barack Obama, when he was living in Indonesia with his stepfather and mother, attended a private school that was run by the executives of the oil company where his stepfather worked. His mom sends him to Hawaii. He goes to the finest prep school in Hawaii. He comes here to LA for the first 2 years of college at Occidental, a selective private school. He finishes up at Columbia, an Ivy League school. He goes to Harvard, Ivy League school. Michelle Robinson, his wife. She did attend a public high school in Chicago, but not the one nearby, because it was inferior. She got on a bus and went to one much further from her home. The girls, Sasha and Malia, attended a private school that was run by the University of Chicago for teachers and instructors at that school when Obama was an instructor there. And then when they moved to Washington, D.C., they went to Sidwell Friends, the Quaker school.

That's—

tuition is currently $40,000 $1,000 a year. So the girls never set foot in a public school. Obama never set foot in a public school. And for all intents and purposes, Michelle Robinson, his future wife, attended a charter school. Yet the Democrats are opposed to school vouchers. Democrats are opposed to parents having the same kind of choices that they had. And it's fascinating to me.

Fascinating is a neutral word. It's obnoxious.

It's a neutral word. Yes.

Okay.

All right, folks. Help Larry Elder. Electelder.com. Larry, you're, uh, you're, you're a credit to the country, and not to mention to yourself and your parents. Thank you again.

And the $3.5 trillion partisan wish list that the Democrats are wanting is starting to turn people off because people are starting to realize that the economic pain is going to be felt at home. Average everyday Americans sitting around their dinner table are going to feel that pain. Overall, the poll found that Biden's net approval average is -7. That means 44% are approving of his, his job as the president. And 51% disapprove. So this is a major slide. A generic Republican on the ballot at this time would lead in all 7 districts going up against the Democrats, Democrat incumbents, by, by 6 percentage points on average.

Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. Because I can't speak for Larry Elder, I won't take the call, but I will just address the subject. William Fairfield, California wants to know, why does Larry think slave owners should get reparations? That is the way in which the media reported it. They didn't report the last part of the sentence. I mean, he said it in virtually either the next sentence or the end of the sentence. The Brits did that, and that is the way they avoided a civil war. Sometimes you do things that are wrong on a moral level, but they are right on a larger scale because you have averted more evil. So whether or not it would have averted a civil war in the United States, I am not capable of addressing. Perhaps literally only God knows. But that is the reason. He's not a fan of slave owners. But the— you know what truly, to use the old phrase, cracks me up, is when the left say we deal in nuances. The right, they don't. The idea that left— the left deals in nuances is just another enormous lie of the left. That's the one thing that they truly don't do, aside from tell the truth: deal in nuances. America is systemically racist is not nuanced, to say the least. Anyway, I did want to address that. I was talking about 9/11 and this generation in light of the fact that Saturday was the anniversary of 9/11. El Segundo, California, and Mike, hello.

Hi, Dennis, I have two points to make. One, 9/11, and one on something you said about the Korean War. 9/11, I believe, I'm pretty sure, correct me, the last 19 years mainstream news media has hoped to show the video clip of the jet passenger liner flying into the World Trade Center building, even though that's iconic historic video shown repeatedly throughout the day, every anniversary day for the 9/11 jihad terrorist attack.

So that's clearly fake news. Again, it's not— there was like a part that was not clear. The media have shown the plane going into the—

okay, okay, let me, let me say it again.

Just, yeah, just say that specific thing.

The media has shown the media over the last 19 years, the news media has failed to show the video clip of the jetliner flying into, crashing into the world.

That's very interesting. Are you aware of that? Is that— I, I— it's a very interesting allegation. I don't know it. I'm sure that for about 15 years they have not said who did it. It's just, you know, it's so interesting. I mean, it's so interesting is such a terrible word. It is truly vile. That's the word to be used. That if you say Islamists, conducted that terror operation, you are bordering or have crossed the line into Islamophobia. But you can say anything about Christians and there's no such thing as Christophobia. Have you ever noticed that? Why is there no word for hatred of Christians, which is probably by far the greatest religious hatred in the world today? Christians are being slaughtered by Muslims in Africa and in the Middle East. And in the West, you can say anything you want about Christianity, anything, and they do. It is just the source of our rotten Western civilization. But there's no such thing as Christophobia. The word doesn't exist. How could that be? There's a word for the hatred of Jews. There's a word for the hatred of Muslims. There's no word for the hatred of Christians. There's no word for the hatred of whites. Is there hatred of whites? There is more hatred of whites permissible in the United States than hatred of any other group. There is no comparison. No comparison. If you say what I just said on your Twitter account or your Facebook page, you, you may well be fired. Just ask the questions. You can't even ask questions. My column, which I'm working on today for publication tomorrow, Tuesday— they come out Tuesday, my columns— is about the threefold attack on liberty, the three items being used for to establish tyranny: COVID, anti-racism, and climate change. This is the three-headed monster against liberty in the Western world. Those of you who support— and there are tens of millions of Americans who do support— and almost any deprivation of liberty to the unvaccinated are supporting the road to tyranny in America, the road to dictatorship in America. It always begins with something that's popular, otherwise it wouldn't succeed. What's next? Well, it's already happening. All the people who have been canceled, all the free speech that has been undone in the name of anti-racism, Correct? You dissent from the anti-racist lie of the left, the gigantic, enormous, unprecedented in America lie about America being racist and the critical race theory lie and the 1619 lie. You dissent, you lose your job. That's the second deprivation of freedom. And the third is on its way. You're gonna use a car? You're gonna have your house air-conditioned to 71 degrees or 69 degrees? That's the way it works. The three-headed monster for the suppression of liberty in America and the West.

When a child is When a boy is 8 days old, there is a circumcision ceremony, and there is a phrase made for all children, boy or girl: May you grow up for Torah, marriage, and good deeds. That's what you need to make a good child. Stress those things. What we have today is godlessness instead of Bible. We have career instead of marriage, and we have good grades instead of good deeds.

I really, I have to control myself, Jenna, because in the last 5 to 10 years, I think it's fair to say empirically that there's been an amazing shift, a sea change in American attitudes to abortion, and especially in the youth, in the under-30s who understand, they follow the science, they understand that this is a human being inside a mother's womb. I don't want to get carried away with myself, but how important— you are, you've taught constitutional law, you're a practicing lawyer— how important, how significant is the SCOTUS decision and the signing into effect of the new heartbeat law in Texas?

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

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

I sing over that stupid announcement deliberately. Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. Hope you had a good weekend. I am in pain reading a piece in the New York Post by one of their columnists, Carol Markowitz. No sports, no clubs, no talking during lunch, and other joys of COVID schooling. That's the piece. Monday— that's today, right? Okay, so today, ladies and gentlemen, is the first day of school in New York City's public school system, and it's on track to be the third needlessly disrupted academic year for kids. Parents delighted that schools are reopening despite the best efforts of the teachers unions, or the teachers union in this case. Teachers unions have as much contempt for kids as Democrats have for blacks, which is to say utter contempt. They are used for their own ends. Children are a means to power and money for teachers unions. That's it. That's the entirety. Just as blacks are means to power and for Democrats. They speak in their name and they hurt them. Teachers unions are the enemy of kids. That means a lot of teachers are the enemies of kids. Let's be honest. It's another area of life, like the sciences and the arts and academia and journalism, that the left has ruined. Parents delighted that schools are reopening despite the best efforts of the teachers union are largely quiescent about the absurd restrictions placed on kids. What does it mean to love someone? I could spend the hour on that. I could spend the week on it. Parents love their kids, right? 99.99999% of parents love their kids. So parents love their kids is a fair generalization. But if you don't do what is best for your child and you know you're not, how much do you love them? What does it mean? No, not how much, I retract that. The answer is it's immeasurable, parental love for their children. But what does it mean to love someone that you, you harm? Sending your kid to most schools in this country harms your child, but you love your child. But who gives a damn? I wish you loved them less and did more good for them. Why, why are parents largely quiescent in New York City? Because they're afraid to speak up. They're afraid about what the school will say, right? That's why. But I love my child. How much do you love your child if you fear the teachers unions more than you love your child? I don't deny that these people love their children, but they don't do what a loving parent should do for their child: get them the hell out of the school. Including the author of this piece, who writes a fantastic piece Let me describe to you what life is like in a New York City public school as of today. My daughter's Manhattan Middle School won't be using lockers this year. Lockers. We know lockers are a major, major source of COVID The whole thing about inanimate objects conveying the disease is nonsense. It's pure nonsense. You might as well speak of aliens bringing COVID. My son's Brooklyn elementary school has let us know that water fountains will remain closed. Oh, why didn't I think of that? No group projects, no field trips, no parties. Outdoor recess will be masked and distanced. Forget tag or sports. Why would you send your child to such a place? Why would you deprive them of childhood? Will they, by the way, will they have— she doesn't cover this— will her school have, what is it again, drag queen story hour? I wonder. I do wonder. We used to understand that it's important for kids to get exercise with friends. But we have forgotten everything we have ever known about child development in the name of fighting a virus that poses a minuscule risk to children. Our society has gone mad because of the damn left. A New York State Education Health Guide for the 2021-22 school year worries a lot about kids' outrageous breathing. Quote, this is from the New York State Education Department: due to increased exhalation that occurs during physical activity, some sports can put players, coaches, trainers, and others at increased risk for getting and spreading COVID-19. Yeah, close contact sports and indoors— wait a minute, are, are NBA players playing without masks? Why is that? And they're adults. Hmm. I guess there's a lot more money in professional basketball and that ends that issue. Close contact sports and indoor sports are particularly risky. This is from the New York State Education Department. Similar risks might exist for other extracurricular activities such as band, choir, theater, and school clubs that meet indoors. So is that all banned? Is that right? There's no— there's no band, choir? Band is banned. How's that? Without the absurd, I would go nuts. Although they provide the absurd. And I am going nuts. Band, choir, theater, and school clubs.

Hmm.

Kids all over the city will be eating lunch— this is a new one. Did you know this? Kids all over New York City will be eating lunch only outdoors while sitting on the ground. Some schools prohibit speaking during lunch. Well, they're using Australia as the model. Nobody could speak to one another outdoors if you're allowed outdoors for the— what, you're allowed 2 to 3 hours for exercise in Australia? The irrationality of the— of the secular authorities, and I am convinced that only idiocy comes from secularism. I'm convinced. All of this, the state of the university, the moronic university, it's all a function of their being secular. When religious people do bad or stupid things, we always note that they're religious, but we never note when secular people do bad or stupid stupid things. Never. It's part of the gigantic fraud called education. So that people graduate college saying, "Oh, more people were killed in the name of religion than anything else." Really? More people were killed in the 20th century in the name of secular ideas. Fascism, communism, Nazism. Secular. That's right. This is, uh, anyway, this is what, this is what it's like. So you have to sit out there. What's gonna happen in the winter in New York City? Are they gonna not have lunch? I'm not kidding. Well, well, here she goes. Kids all over the city will be eating lunch only outdoors while sitting on the ground. Some schools prohibit speaking during lunch. One Manhattan elementary school sent parents a survey asking what they should do in case of inclement weather. Well, there's my question. One of the options was actually skip lunch. And they'll still send their kids to these schools. You know that people ruining your children teach your children. They ruin their character, they ruin their happiness, they ruin their innocence, they ruin their intelligence. And you still send them there because it's convenient. But you love your children. Kids are resilient, insist the world's least resilient adults. That's the best line in the piece. Kids are resilient, insist the world's least resilient adults. Kids, sure, kids may be fine after years of being treated like disease vectors rather than human beings. Maybe they'll someday be okay, or maybe they'll be severely damaged, leaving them utterly stunted and incapable of fulfilling their natures as social animals. We'll see, she writes. The worst part is the pointlessness. This— that is correct. We return, take your calls as well. I'm Dennis Prager.

Gensocchi, the pressure is getting to her. Question by Peter Doocy, a famous clip already, cut number 11.

Does the president have a sense that most of the criticism is not of leaving Afghanistan, it's the way that he has ordered it to happen by pulling the troops before getting these Americans who are now stranded?

Does he have a sense of that? First of all, I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not.

We are committed to bringing Americans who want to come home home. We are in touch with them via phone, via text, via email, via any way that we can possibly reach Americans.

Jake Tapper thinks they're stranded on CNN cut number 4.

Look, I understand that people are working long hours in the White House, the National Security Council, State Department, Pentagon, and over in Kabul to get Americans out of that country. And I understand the White House wanting to reassure the nation that all Americans will ultimately be evacuated. But there are no doubt Americans who feel stranded in Afghanistan right now.

Of course there are. It's absurd for the White House, and it tells you something about Joe Biden. Brit Hume was on with our friend Guy Benson on his radio show yesterday, said this, cut number 1.

But anybody who ever heard him speak for any length of time could tell this guy this was not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

And, you know, he, you know, he could talk forever and was famous for it, but you never had the sense that he was terribly smart. And on top of that, now he's manifestly senile. And between those two things, this is a man with very, very severe limitations who is well too old, in my opinion, to be the president of the United States.

Israel is getting ready for their fourth jab. Now, some people— this is how dishonest the media is. They say, well, Israel in the last couple of days, they've seen their rates go down. Now, why do you think that COVID rates would be going down in Israel the last couple of days? Anybody? Is it because the vaccine, masks? No, it's because the high holidays. OK, people are staying at home and they're not going out and they're not working and they're not congregating. So they've locked down the country through basically pseudo-religious mandate. Israel and Sweden, if you look at the 7-day rolling average of new cases per 100,000, Sweden on this chart that has been published is right around 10%.

Few of these measures will move the needle whatsoever when it comes to safety, especially masking. Former Biden administration COVID advisor Michael Osterholm said last month, we know today that many of the face cloth coverings that people wear are not very effective in reducing any of the virus movement in or out. Yes, we do know this, but the safetyism fanatics who rule us refuse to admit it. Even medical masks don't do much to contain COVID. An August study from Waterloo University found that the common blue medical mask is about 10% effective in containing the virus. Meanwhile, study after study has found that being able to see human faces is essential to kids being able to develop a host of social and cognitive skills. That's right. The signs are grim. Take Bedford, Massachusetts. Twitter account @BringKidsBackMA, Massachusetts, dedicated to, quote, advocating to get children back into the classroom, quote, unquote, end quote, posted photos of distanced chairs, no tables, all facing in one direction, even outside. That's where middle school kids in Bedford get to eat lunch. Yet kids 12 to 15 years old in Bedford have an 85% vaccination rate. If restrictions don't loosen with those kind of vax rates, when do they? Kids should have never have been masked or deterred from any activities. They should have been living their normal lives all along, as they have in Sweden, by the way. The entire 2020, kids under 16 went to school unmasked. Nothing happened. Fanatics, hysterics, superstitious, anti-medical, kid-ruining people run our schools. Do you understand that? No, I— people do understand it, and yet the cognitive dissonance doesn't move them to get their kids out of school. Homeschooling is a challenge in the beginning, and then it becomes a joy. The only way the schools will change is if we take the kids out of them. There is no other way. You can scream all you like at board meetings, and I hope you do. God bless you for doing so. It will do nothing. Nothing. Teachers unions have more money than you can count. Yes, that's the way it works, my friends. Put the New York Post piece up. Okay, it's already up. That was fast. That's the way to do it. Ben doesn't want to tell us what city. Hello, Ben. Why don't you want to tell us what city?

Uh, just because in case someone or anything that would know who I am.

Are you a therapist?

No.

Yes. What was that, a yes?

No, no, I'm not.

So, uh, why would you care? I know, I know the call is about the therapy, I think.

Why?

I, I don't care, by the way. It's fine with me that you don't want to tell your city. I'm just, I'm just curious. If somebody did recognize you, what would happen?

Uh, just that I'm in sales, and then obviously the people that, that are in charge of the, uh, organization that I volunteer with, I just assume they're not.

Okay, fair enough. Okay, this is what America's come to, my friends. Okay, go ahead.

Unfortunately.

Yep.

Okay, so I've been volunteering with an organization that I've been with for over 10 years. And it's a grief center that specializes in peer support. We deal with children anywhere from the ages of 3 to teenage, and we also have adult groups. And what I do is I facilitate a group with another co-facilitator where we basically create discussions, we do games, we do crafts, And it's basically an opportunity for the kids to express themselves. And we really go out of our way just to make a safe environment where if the kids want to express their grief that they can. And it's a great organization and they do amazing work. That's why I've been with them for 10 years. Recently they've not been doing anything in the building and that just started. And actually my first program is today. Tonight, and they expect everyone to no longer eat together. They used to do a full, like, 45 minutes of pizza time where everyone would eat together as families. We would do birthdays where we would have a cake for, you know, one, one, one day a month when the people came for their program. They go twice a month. The kids will get to go up and, you know, right?

I gotta just— so tell me what they can't do. They can't have— they can't eat together. Okay, what else?

No, they can't eat together. There has to be masks inside the building at all times. If we go outside, they can— they don't have to wear masks, but they've cut it down. They've cut out about 45 minutes to the total group time. It's going to be an hour now, and if the kids are inside, they all have to be wearing masks, uh, as well as all the adults.

So they're damaging the kids. That's exactly Is it groups that has been created to help kids in grief and so on? Exactly. Exactly. Health Uberalas. I've warned about this all of my broadcast life, and shall I say, to no avail. May I be personal for a moment? I'm told very often that I've accomplished a lot. May I tell you that I am more aware of what I have not accomplished. I have warned about the suppression of liberty in the United States in the name of health all of my life, and as I said, to no avail. We'll be back.

Israel and Sweden, if you look at the 7-day rolling average of new cases per 100,000, Sweden, on this chart that has been published, is right around 10%. Israel has far exceeded 100%. And in fact, there are more cases right now happening in America and the Western world than there were a year ago. And a very basic question should be, is the vaccine helping or is it hurting? What's the answer to that question? Why is it that rates keep on going up the more vaccinated we are? Well, Israel is the only country in the world that gives the third vaccination to everyone at ages 12+. A COVID passport is required for 12+. And by the way, let me just say, I'm a very— I'm a lover of Israel and Jerusalem. I don't know if I'm ever going back to Israel. I don't. I said this to one of my friends the other day who runs a great project there. He said, oh, you'll be coming back. I said, I don't know if I'll be welcome in Israel because I'm not getting vaccinated and I'm not doing any of this stuff.

Well, the 9-year-old doesn't have his mask on, you got to tape it to his head.

I thank you for being with me. Glenn in Phoenix, Arizona. Hello.

How you doing, Mr. Prager? Well, the call screener— that one of the things you had asked earlier was, what is— how do you demonstrate love? I can't remember exactly how you worded it, but my grandma used to use the phrase, discipline is love. I discipline you because I love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't give a damn what you do in life. And I have a— there's a word, uh, there's a book, it's called Raising a Modern-Day Knight, and it says— it's a book on how to raise children in this kind of perilous world. And in the book, it, it, it, it— this is from the book, and it says— I'm paraphrasing here— but it says it's better to— it's better to discipline your child when he's growing up rather than the Department of Corrections disciplining them when they're 18 to 25. And just what I see—

Right. So what does that have to do with what I raised? I agree with every word you said.

Yeah, that— what I see is a lot of parents, in particular with the education, is they say they love their children, but their actions aren't really— the cliché is, your actions are speaking so loud I can't hear your words. And I think that that's what I find a lot with parents, is they do love their kids, but they're not—

Well, that's my argument. Sending your child to most schools is unloving. That's just a fact. In life, you have to recognize facts. Then you deal with them. You can say, yes, it is a fact. The average school— and my child goes to a typical school, and it might be a $40,000 a year school— it's still garbage. Really garbage, and I, I know that the school is doing bad for my child and doubly bad in their, in their hypochondriac reaction, or hypochondriacal reaction, to COVID. Nevertheless, I have no choice because I can't homeschool them, or I can't find a school that won't damage them. Okay, I respect you who say that. I don't respect you're saying, oh, my school is not damaging my kid. Now, if you're in rural Tennessee, there's a good chance the school may not be damaging your kid. I acknowledge that. Most people don't live in rural America. They live in urban America. Urban schools are awful, truly awful. The COVID example is just, is just the latest example of damage to your children. Even if they didn't damage them by teaching them lies about America and didn't damage them by teaching them that they're not male or female, they will choose their sex, or gender as the term is now used. Even if none of that were the case, they would be damaging them with these idiotic restrictions. In New York City, you can't eat inside. How come you could eat inside a restaurant but you can't eat inside a school among other kids, almost none of whom will, will be hurt by COVID? This has been an adult disease, a really old adult disease. Read the data if you give a damn about science. Read the data. How insignificantly small the number of deaths are of young— young— by young, we're talking under 70, not under 20, under 70. And if you're healthy at 70, you might as well be 17 as far as COVID is concerned. It's quite, uh, quite amazing. JoJo in Pittsburgh, the famous JoJo of Pittsburgh. Hello.

I don't know how much— I don't know how much, uh, time I have, or if you're interested in how I got to this conclusion, but what prompted my call today was when you had mentioned someone calling in in regards to Judeo-Christian phobia. And for the past several years, that's how I identify myself now, as Judeo-Christian. And just recently, I ordered a Star of David to wear on my necklace that I wear every day with my cross and a heart with my mother's birthstone. Because there would be no Christianity without Judaism. And when— oh, I was raised Catholic, although my grandmother was Presbyterian and she paid for my Catholic education. And when my mother and I lived in South Florida, she worked for a restaurant, and so many of her customers were Holocaust survivors.

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

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

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

Tesla was a genius. His most amazing discoveries thought to be written in a lost journal. Now, in the right hands, it could revolutionize the 21st century.

You can stop an earthquake.

Doesn't that mean you could start one too? Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager, and quickly back to JoJo. You're in Pittsburgh and you grew up in a Catholic school. Paid for by a Presbyterian grandparent, and you now consider yourself Judeo-Christian. Is that correct?

That is correct. And I had an adopted Jewish grandmother. Uh, we— my mother and I adored her. She adored us. She couldn't have any children after what she went through in the Holocaust. The most amazing first Seder we had ever been to, and with all the betrayals of organized religion— not God, but the betrayal of religion— I now call myself a Judeo-Christian.

Well, let me just say about that, as a Jew, that although I don't think this is animated by the fact that I am a Jew, but I'm just noting it for those of you who I don't know. Both Jews and Christians need to use the term Judeo-Christian. No Judaism, no Christianity, just as JoJo pointed out. So it's totally obvious for a Christian. A Christian who denies the Jewish roots of Christianity is lying and is has an animosity toward Judaism. I mean, that's the only possible explanation. Jesus was a Jew. The apostles were Jews. The Old Testament is Jewish. There's no religion in the world, no major religion in the world, except maybe you could say Buddhism from Hinduism. But otherwise, there's no other example of something coming from another religion as clearly as Christianity from Judaism. At the same time, Jews have to recognize that it was Christians who brought the Torah to the world. So there really is such a thing as Judeo-Christian. And I'm a fan of it. All right, that was good. That's important indeed. While we're on religion, I'll go to a call from Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel. Lewis, hello.

How are you, Dennis? Um, I first heard you in the '80s, Religion on the Line. Okay.

Oh, so, so are you—

I just—

you're a Californian Jew who moved to Israel?

Yeah, I'm from Los Angeles, right? I, I live in I lived in different places, mostly in Hollywood, and I think you said a statement once about a friend who's an atheist who goes to church because he thinks it's good, and I agree with that. And I was curious whether that could be maybe your approach, because I think— I'm not sure— it was a second-day yenta in Los Angeles. Day of the holiday in America, and I thought I heard you on the radio live.

That's right.

And I thought, well, well, the odd thing—

yes, so do you want me to say it's okay?

Okay, let me make one point. Okay, I don't want you to define it.

This is my question.

From, from one perspective, you can say, say, from Jerusalem or from other religious places, say the United States, you're living a non-normative religious life that some would say doesn't qualify to give you the title religious. And I think it's the same game that the left plays with deconstructionism and critical theory, that it doesn't matter. Once I decide to identify as religious, that's good enough. And then I can put religious Jew where other people would argue whether that, whether that, you know, like there's standards. You want to go to, want to do surgery, you have to pass boards. You want to fly an airplane, you have to pass some tests. So I think there are some standards in Judaism and—

Right, okay, so let me respond. It's a very fair question. I have to explain it though to the vast majority of my listeners who have no idea what was being referenced. Outside of Israel, the biblical holidays, except for Yom Kippur, have an added— well, and Rosh Hashanah, we'll leave those aside. But Pentecost, Tabernacles, and Passover, the three festivals as they're called, they are, they have an extra day among diaspora Jews. The original reason was they didn't exactly know the calendar, so they, rather than err, they would have an extra day outside of Israel I don't observe the extra day. That disqualifies me from being an Orthodox Jew. I've never said I was Orthodox. I've said I was religious. And I'm deeply religious. I'm the opposite of an atheist. My life has been devoted to bringing people to God, people of all faiths and no faith. I've probably brought more Jews to Judaism than any living Jew. I know it's a boast, but it's either true or not true. And I believe that God is the source of the Torah. I believe in the 13 principles of Maimonides, but it's true, I don't observe the second day because it's absurd. And I don't believe God wants us to observe the absurd when God did not command it. God commanded nothing absurd. The idea that we should have another day when it says in the Bible you will have 7 days for Passover and then there's an 8th day— I don't understand why that doesn't violate biblical law. Neither does Louis. Louis, explain to me why an 8th day doesn't violate the Torah.

Well, I, I know I'm just— either—

no, no, please answer my question. Why doesn't an 8th day violate The biblical law, the Passover is 7 days.

Well, no, I mean, listen, listen, okay, I can give you, I can go for hours and hours and give you examples.

Okay, that's not an answer, Louis. I'm sorry. I really appreciate your calling. You have no answer. Okay. I totally respect, my only allies basically are Orthodox Jews. I know this. They know this. And I am delighted. But if you ask a question, you need an answer. An 8th day of Passover violates the biblical law to have 7 days of Passover. I'm not saying this as an attack. I'm saying it as a fact. God wants us to use reason. That is why God gave humans reason. And I say this to Christians, and I say this to Jews. When you do things that violate reason, you don't bring people to God. The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor pain-free studio.

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

That's right, it's getting better. That— I'm not sure what the 'it' is. Read to you earlier from the New York Post about the rules for kids in New York City schools, and parents are sending their kids there. I am now of the opinion there is nothing— there is no amount of damage your school can do to your child, you will continue to send your child there no matter what they teach, No matter how much they harm your child, parents will still send their kids to school. I say it as, as a witness to the fact that they can't get worse. I do not know how schools can get worse. They teach your children that America was founded in order to be a slave country. The largest national lie since the blood libel against the Jews in the Middle Ages. They teach your children that they're not male or female. They will decide what they want to identify as, if anything, in terms of gender. So hate their country, religion is nonsense, gender is nonsense. They don't call them boys and girls lest they not be inclusive of the non-binary student in class. Have you met a non-binary fifth grader recently? It's a rhetorical question. I assume the answer is no. Not even talking transgender. Transgender are not non-binary. It's a new category. You're neither male nor female. You're they. Like the professor I quoted last hour at Syracuse University. A woman named Jen Jackson, assistant professor of political science at Syracuse University, who defended the 9/11 attack. It was an attack on the heteropatriarchal capitalist system that America relies upon. To wrangle other countries into passivity. Now you understand the damage schools do because this human being named Jen Jackson, a professor at Syracuse University, learned, right? Who knows about heteropatriarchal capitalist systems except those who go to college, right? So she swallowed every piece of nonsense that the college could give her. And she now teaches it to your kids at Syracuse U. And she is a queer, genderflux, androgynous black woman. An abolitionist, a lover of all black people, which— that's her quote. She's a liar. She doesn't love all black people. You think she loves Candace Owens? You think she loves Larry Elder? You think she loves Tom Sowell? We'll be back.

I really, I have to control myself, Jenna, because in the last 5 to 10 years, I think it's fair to say empirically that there's been an amazing shift, a sea change in American attitudes to abortion, and especially in the youth, in the under-30s, who understand, they follow the science, they understand understand that this is a human being inside a mother's womb. I, I don't want to get carried away with myself, but how important— you are, you've taught constitutional law, you're a practicing lawyer— how important, how significant is the SCOTUS decision and the signing into effect of the new heartbeat law in Texas?

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

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

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

Hi everybody. We're working hard to get rid of that announcement unless it's true, unless you would hear a pre-recorded show, which is very rare. Might happen on a holiday. Matthew Lohmeier is a 2006 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, began his active duty military career as a pilot in the T-38 as an instructor pilot, followed by the F-15C. After flying, he cross-trained into space operations and gained expertise in space-based missile warning. In October 2020, he transferred into the United States Space Force. He has two master's degrees, a master's in military operational— by the way, I can't believe they're going to allow master's to continue as a name. Master bedroom has already been dropped from real estate because of the slavery connotations. I can't believe they were going to allow masters. Anyway, a master in military operational art and science and a master of philosophy and military strategy. He's a lieutenant colonel in command— well, he was. She was just relieved of that, which we'll talk about. Lieutenant Colonel in command of a space-based missile warning squadron in Colorado. Lohmeier is spelled L-O-H-M-E-I-E-R, and his book is Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military. Matthew Lohmeier, welcome to The Dennis Prager Show.

Dennis, I'm happy to be here joining you. Thank you.

And by the way, let me know— I want to thank Dr. Bob, my friend, for bringing you and your book to my attention. So what happened? Were you relieved of your command? What happened?

I was relieved of my command in that space-based missile warning unit that you mentioned on the 14th of May. It was a Friday afternoon just several months ago, and it was in the wake of having published and spoken publicly on a podcast podcast, although in my private capacity, about that book Irresistible Revolution. And I had done a 30-minute podcast promoting the book. And, uh, to my knowledge, the senior leaders of the Space Force, my chain of command, hadn't yet had the opportunity to get their hands on a copy of that book, which had just been released a little over a week earlier. And I was called into my commander's office, who was the senior ranking O-6, or colonel, on that base in Colorado. And on the phone to relieve me of my command for cause was Lieutenant General Stephen Whiting, a 3-star, who is in charge of all space operations for the, the new Space Force. And the reason for which I was relieved of my command, as stated on that phone call, was for being politically partisan while acting in an official capacity, which I deny even today. Now that I'm no longer in the service, separated on 1 September, but it has never been my intent to be politically partisan. In fact, quite the contrary, having been trained to be apolitical, I was very interested in making sure that political partisanship and the politicization of our military ceased so that our young service members could actually get about their business without worrying about leftist politics in the military. And for that, I was the one that was deemed a politically partisan hack.

Were you surprised? Because I wouldn't have been surprised. Surprised. I, I, well, knowing your book, I would assume they'd fire you.

So I was surprised in many ways. Now, I figured it wouldn't sit well, but let me explain why I was surprised. And I think it's important for your listener to appreciate some context for the publication of the book. I had been recognizing an attempt to divide our service members using race and politics at the base I was serving at under the direction of an activist base commander. And I used my chain of command first, as all service members are taught to do. Starting back in probably July or August is the first phone conversation I had with the senior ranking military leaders within the service with whom I had all I had served with every one of them. They all know me very well by name. They know my family's name. And I've been the aide-de-camp for an entire year for the 4-star now in charge of all of the Space Force, General Jay Raymond, and traveled the world with him. But I had phone conversations with my entire chain of command explaining what I was seeing at my base and why it was problematic. And they thanked me for my input and for registering a complaint, as it were. but nothing changed. Even after President Trump issued an executive order on the 22nd of September last year banning the language of critical race theory from being taught to our uniformed service members, from being taught in our federal agencies, nothing changed at my base. And based on reports I was getting from elsewhere, nothing changed elsewhere in many instances. And so I filed a formal complaint with the Space Force Inspector General's office. And they sat on that through the election season, November, December, and January. They sat on that until the writing was on the wall that we'd have a Biden administration. And my complaint was essentially dismissed, and the activist commander was promoted to his first star. And at that point, I was determined to finish and publish the book Irresistible Revolution. And so it was, it was May, uh, the 1st of May is when I finally published the book. And so the reason I was surprised is because my book and the contents therein shouldn't have come as a surprise to any of the senior leaders who were thanking me for filing the complaints, talking with them and counseling with them about how to visit and undermining of our good relations.

My assumption is once you went this public in publishing a book, right, they sort of had no choice. I totally agree with your book. I just— but I'm not surprised in the least. And I'm surprised that you were surprised, I guess. It's not that important, but I thought it was worthy of raising. So, and ironically, it's sort of even more to your credit if you weren't surprised because It meant that you did something knowing it would end your career.

Well, let me say this. I, I've been asked this question many times. I was surprised at how quickly our senior leaders, in a climate of fear, chose to fire, uh, I'll, I'll put it, I'll understate it, one of the top performing officers. Uh, you know, I don't normally talk about this myself because others do, but I was too below the zone to Lieutenant Colonel. And like I said, they all know me very well. They know I'm a person of character.

We get along well.

They, they respect me and I respected them. And so yeah, I was surprised at the rapidity with which they threw me by the curb and chose to turn their back and never communicate with me again. I've not heard from my chain of command since I was fired on May 14th. It's like As an investigation got underway, they were, they were absolutely not interested in ever communicating by phone or otherwise, by email even, uh, with the guy that had just been fired. And by the way, they're the ones that leaked the story to the national press, not me. The very next morning, I had reporters, media personalities across the country reaching out to me on Saturday, May 15th, because It's, uh, it's clear to me that Space Force Public Affairs or someone—

is there an example of someone of your rank in anywhere in the military having written a book from the left and as a critique of the armed forces in some way and keeping his job?

From the left, you're saying?

Yes, from the left.

Okay. So as far as a book goes, now writing a book, as you're well aware, is a hefty undertaking. I'm not aware of many people at all on the right or the left, H.R. McMaster comes to mind, but that was an entirely different circumstance. Dereliction of Duty is the book I'm referring to. But what I can tell you and what I cite clearly in my book, these leftist activists are far too busy getting critical of our senior military leaders and our elected officials during the Trump administration on their social media pages to get to end up dedicating time to writing a book. And so what I was seeing is a bunch of left-wing activism online criticizing the sitting commander-in-chief, advocating for Black Lives Matter slogans like we should burn down American society or burn down.

These are active members of the military.

These are active active duty service members.

Uh, in some cases they're in uniform, even some of them, and none were fired.

None of them were fired.

Okay, let me continue with you in a moment. Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military. The book is up at DennisPrager.com. Live from the Rife Factor Pain Free Studio.

Matthew Lohmeier was a lieutenant colonel in command of a space-based missile warning squadron in Colorado, originally in the Air Force. Yes. Were you still in the Air Force with the space-based missile warning squadron?

I'm sorry, Dennis, you cut out there. You said something about the Air Force.

Yeah. Were you still in the Air Force? Was this— is this part of the Air Force, the Space Command?

Yeah. So the Air Force was responsible for all of the military space operations until the Space Force stood up in December of 2019. All of that transferred over thereafter into the Space Force. So it was a Space Force—

so it's independent, it's, it's its own, so to speak, branch of the military.

It's its own branch of the military but embedded within the Department of the Air Force.

Okay, fine.

Just like the Marine Corps.

Gotcha, right, gotcha. So you are the, um, you're— you were a lieutenant colonel. You were fired for this book. The book, by the way, is, is quite quite widely read. It's got an incredible— what number is it? The number of reviews is almost 2,000, which is astonishing, my friends. 1,686. That's very, very high. Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military. He's been relieved of his duty How many years were you in the Air Force?

I was in the Air Force for 14 years before transferring into the Space Force. It's been about 15 and a half years total active duty service.

Right. Okay. So I want to talk about the second part because I talk about Marxism in America a great deal, but I don't know as much as you do about the unmaking of the American military. So In a nutshell, what are you referring to?

Yeah, one of the things I mentioned, uh, in the first segment was that there's a deliberate effort underway, it seems to me, to divide our service members using race and politics. And I'll give you one example. If we've got time, I'm happy to share others. But right after I showed up in command, the base commander had sent out about 19— I think was the number— 19 emails to the entire base, a base population made up of active duty Air and Space Force operators, about race identity politics. He sent out videos that were on Amazon Prime, Netflix, YouTube, that are clearly left-wing propaganda. But I mean, you've talked about the 1619 Project that was done by Nikole Hannah-Jones at the New York Times magazine. Some of these videos were advocating for the New York Times 1619, uh, 1619 project and narrative of the evil founding of America's country and government, and disregarding, demonizing a 1776 narrative, the fact that our founders had noble intent. And so if you try and— so if you try and send that out to your military service members demonizing the very founding principles that they've sworn an oath to defend, you instantly start to create a divisive force within the ranks. You generate backbiting, accusation, and skepticism of one another. And of course, mixed up in all of that 1619 is snippets from American history that are ugly about slavery, about white oppression of Blacks, for example. And so that's where the cultural Marxism comes in. And I had a chaplain sit in my office who was also an activist, unfortunately, who told me that systemic racism is all about how whites are racist. I told him his views weren't welcome in my unit and that he wasn't welcome to share that narrative with my personnel. And it's pretty clear to me that what followed is that me and my people in my unit came under scrutiny from base leadership because we weren't buying into an agenda. And so this is what generated conversations between me and the senior leaders of the Space forces based on our lived experiences there at that base in Colorado.

I report about the deleterious effects of the utterly damaging effects of the left on the military regularly. I am curious, do you have any idea if this has affected enlistment rates?

I don't know statistics about enlistment rates, but what I can tell you is that active duty service members of all races and of both political parties or of no political affiliation whatsoever are simply losing a desire to serve in the armed forces. Because after all, if you buy into the narrative that we're a systemically racist country, that our country is founded—

so what are you protecting?

Yeah.

So why sign up to serve in a white supremacist military?

Yes.

Why, why protect, as I was saying, interrupting you, sorry. Why, why protect a disgusting country?

Right. And then here's the other thing. If people don't buy into this narrative, then they're disgusted that it's being jammed down their throats as active duty service members. They didn't sign up to hear this on a weekly basis.

They didn't sign up to have a mandatory vaccine. Seen at an age when nobody's dying, in their 20s, right? What is the— what do you get any reports on that?

Every week I've got service members across the services reaching out to me asking for advice. Here's the facts of the matter: over 35,000 positive COVID cases in the Air and Space Forces and not a single death on active duty members. 35,000 positive cases. These are young, healthy, resilient people. Absolutely. And you're imposing unnecessary risk on an already active and lethal force. It's simply unnecessary to take those kinds of risks with your service members' lives.

What could Donald Trump have done in the 4 years he was president that might have given us better leadership in the military?

I'll tell you, in September of Last year, he signed an executive order banning critical race theory. You know, you know, as well as many Americans, that he created the, uh, the 1776 Commission report, uh, which was trying to combat the 1619 Project lunacy. And the first day that, uh, the Biden administration took office, he abolished both the 1776 Commission report, uh, and that, that commission.

People We need to know that. All right, stay on. I want to do one more segment with you. Matthew Lohmeier's book is up at DennisPrager.com.

I really, I have to control myself, Jenna, because in the last 5 to 10 years, I think it's fair to say empirically that there's been an amazing shift, a sea change in American attitudes to abortion, and especially in the youth, in the under-30s who understand, they follow the science, understand that this is a human being inside a mother's womb. I don't want to get carried away with myself, but how important— you are, you've taught constitutional law, you're a practicing lawyer— how important, how significant is the SCOTUS decision and the signing into effect of the new heartbeat law in Texas?

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

Trending now on The Larry Elder Show: but Biden is taking a hit and Democrats There's a lot more to the man than that. Like him or not, he was one of the most significant figures of the 20th century, and Hugh Hewitt explains It all in the newest video from PragerU. See it at prageru.com where we teach what isn't taught. Yeah, you'll learn a lot about Richard Nixon. It was fascinating, 5 minutes crammed with information. Matthew Lohmeier, written a book that got him removed from the US Space Force, part of the Air Force, and in the newest military unit or whatever term would be used. And he was fired for the book, Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military. So I did have a final question that you were— I had to interrupt you because of need to take a break here. The story of the enforced vaccinations. You were speaking about members of the armed forces leaving just out of disgust with the politicization and the undermining of morale. But this might be another reason, is it?

Absolutely it is. I've heard from a captain in the Air Force just this morning. Heard from a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. I can't tell you where this person works, but she is in a high position working for senior leaders in the military. And I heard from another lieutenant colonel in the Army earlier this week who are all thinking they're going to have to sacrifice their pension because they're taking a stand against a mandate to be vaccinated. These people aren't anti-vaccine. Pictures, by the way. They've been vaccinated their entire lives as a part of their military service. But the point is that they believe that this shouldn't be mandated and shoved down their throats, and that it's an unnecessary risk to impose upon our young service members who are not dying from the COVID uh, the COVID virus. You don't take unnecessary risks with the lives of your young service members. You just don't. I mean, we've seen a lot of enough of that, plenty of that in the last couple of weeks. But this is just an unnecessary step. Uh, again, the numbers: 35,000 positive COVID cases in the Air and Space Forces, zero deaths among our active duty members, I think 12 hospitalizations over the past year and a half. Absolutely unnecessary to mandate it, especially since over 70% of our force have already been vaccinated, and another chunk of them have already had natural immunity from contracting the disease, which they recovered.

It has nothing to do with health. It is all about control. That's all it is.

And they sense that. They sense that. And they're tired of the politics, um, steamrolling them and their active duty service.

Well, your book is up at my website. You've, uh— what are you going to be doing now? What are you going to do for a living, so to speak?

I am a Newsmax contributor several times a week, so you can see me there. And I'm also doing public speaking tour The next 4 to 6 months, I've got events lined up across the country, and I'll be posting about those on Facebook and Twitter, and hopefully rebuilding my website, MatthewWillmeyer.com, here in the next several weeks.

You're a good man. Thank you so much.

Thank you, sir. Appreciate it, Dennis Prager.

Yes, sir. I wish that every profession— this would change America for the better if every pilot said, I'm not flying, you're not going to force my fellow pilots to take a vaccine. I got a question, folks. You think the pilot and co-pilot of your plane wear a mask during the flight? Hm. Tell you what, I'll bet you half my income 99% don't The whole thing's a fraud. The masks are a fraud. The forced vaccination is a fraud. It's all about control. That's all it is. How come you fly with pilots who don't wear masks? You think once that door is shut they keep them on? By the way, how about this? Do you want them to keep it on? You think your pilot will concentrate better with breathing his own air for 6 hours, 12 hours? When I fly LA-Europe, as I did last month, it's a 12-hour flight. You think I want the pilot to breathe in carbon dioxide the whole time? By the way, isn't carbon dioxide a pollutant? We're living in a make-believe world of the left, the evil left. Whenever you think left, think evil. Not liberals. Liberals are weaklings. But the left is evil. Some liberals gain courage when they are prepared to realize that the left is as great a threat to liberalism as the conservatism. Anybody ever think about the masks with the pilots question? Think they're eating for 12 hours so as to keep their mask off? Pilots, stand with your compatriots and don't go to work if, like at United, they fire such people.

I'd rather die and withdraw from the process.

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

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

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

Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. That's my prayer. It's not going to happen, but so maybe it's not a prayer. You shouldn't pray for things that won't happen, but it's my wish, let's put it that way. United Airlines, which is the most woke apparently of the major airlines, They will fire every single employee who's not vaccinated. So the trick is not to fly United if you can avoid it, even if you're vaccinated, because the issue is liberty. Now, if you believe that people who are not vaccinated are killing other people including people who are vaccinated and have antibodies from COVID I— there's nothing I can say to you since you have abandoned reason. And that is the only group you cannot reason with, people who do not live by reason. Fear, irrational fear, is a source of tremendous evil on Earth. Get vaccinated because you're gonna, you're gonna hurt people who are vaccinated. That's quite a commendation on behalf of the vaccine, isn't it? I'm vaccinated and I'm scared of you who are not vaccinated. And why the hell did you get the vaccine? Doesn't sound terribly efficacious, that vaccine, does it? Anyway, I'd love you to reflect on this question. Do you think the pilots are wearing masks in the cockpit? And if they're not, how come we're not hearing of pilots dropping dead, right? It's a complete fraud that you have to wear the mask. In a plane. Complete 100% fraud. The masks don't work, number one. Number two, you're not going to kill anybody because they already allow you to take it off when you eat. What happens when you eat? You can't kill the guy next to you because the eating undoes the COVID Do you realize the absurdity in which we live? These poor flight attendants have to cover their nose the entire flight. I, I travel a tremendous amount. In the next few months, I'll be traveling almost every week, a few times a week, I might add. Just, uh, see, was it next week? Yeah, well, yeah, next week is it. I'm going to Dallas and then Chattanooga. And back to LA. Got a lot of flights next week, and it's a crapshoot whether I get, uh, hyper flight attendants or rational flight attendants. The hyper keep reminding me to keep it over my nose. On one airline, not an American, not a US airline, I won't say which because I don't want to get them in trouble, flying from Europe to the US just a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks ago, they didn't tell me once, not once in 12 hours, to put the mask over my nose. I think they're less hyper in Europe anyway. There are more demonstrations against lockdowns and so on in France than in the United States. Maybe we should give France back the Statue of Liberty. I'm not kidding. We should erect in New York at the harbor Statue of Safety. That's it. The Statue of Safety. And the figure will be wearing a mask. You could put a mask on the Statue of Liberty. That's— yeah, save money. It's a very good point. But what you do is you have a mask. Now, this, this would really make it more realistic. It would be an electronic mask, and it's lifted for drinking water. Now, as far as I'm concerned, I would like the Statue of Liberty to smoke a cigar. See, that would be my Statue of Liberty. But I'm allowed— I'm allowed to live in pleasant dreams. Firing people who are not vaccinated, and half this country thinks it's a great idea. Vast numbers of people on the left think it's not far enough. You shouldn't be allowed to travel. Yes, there is no end to the suppression of liberty. It's always done in the name of some wonderful cause. Who, who has not suppressed liberty in the name of some cause, right? Communism had the cause of, of humanity. What's better than humanity? Well, that's the state of our country at this time. United Airlines. What a disgrace. Anyway, almost every big company is a disgrace. I don't know how they live with themselves, but I guess it's easy. Crap on America. American Express, remember that? And Nike, Coca-Cola, Disney. They're all scum. They are. Brings me no joy to tell you that, but they are. Okay, let's see here. What's the story? Okay, 1-8-Prager-776. One day, I wonder if the ballots in California, where we have the recall pending— I hope, I hope they're honest. I'm not saying they're not, but I'm not saying they are.

Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.

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

Hi, Dennis. I love you and I love your work.

I thank you. That's very kind. By the way, how much has your house increased in value the last 2 years?

About 50—

well, I've only been in it a year and a half, but about $55,000.

I asked the right question. Go ahead.

So the quote to the Jewish man that you had last hour, which was, 'Unreasonableness doesn't lead you to God,' and to up that to one of the most consequential men in human history said, 'Unless convinced by scripture or plain reason, I cannot accept the authorities of popes and councils. To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. I brought that quote to my stepson last week. He's now standing firm against Google, and he plans on litigating against them. He believes he has a good case. At the end of the month, if he doesn't get the shot, he's gone. I said to him, listen, if you, if you violate your conscience now, will you still violate it when they ask you to drink the Kool-Aid as your guest host did last week, mentioned to us being a socialist, Jim Jones.

That's right, that's correct. I, I, by the way, I think he does have a case. It's a, it's a very interesting thing in general. Do private companies have the right to do anything they want? Maybe they do, maybe they do. We'll find out. I mean, this is, this is new territory. Thank God for Sweden. It offered us an alternate model and it worked. And people tell me, well, but the death rates were higher than in Denmark and in Norway. So they, they cherry-pick two countries because they're also Scandinavian. Overwhelmingly, the deaths in Sweden were in nursing homes. They had literally a nursing home problem. They acknowledged that fact, but otherwise Sweden did not close down, and it drove the rest of the world crazy. Who would have expected Australia turns out to be a totalitarian state of wimps and Sweden turns out to be a state of liberty lovers. I wouldn't have predicted that. Makes life interesting. See you tomorrow.
