The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

Dennis Prager Show. I'm going to my guest immediately. The latest PragerU video explains Watergate. I can't think of anybody who could do a better job than my colleague and friend Hugh Hewitt, who is heard on many, many of the same stations as I am. In fact, Hugh Hewitt is on more than a few occasions, and indeed I am confused with him. Our white hair, glasses, completely white complexion, almost white supremacist white. That's how white.

You know, that's going to be taken out of context there, Dennis. Never say that on the radio.

I have such contempt for them that I mock them with the ease with which I breathe. Hugh Hewitt is, among other things, a scholar of the Nixon era. And he has made the 5-minute videos which we feature each week. This week it is about Watergate. I promise you that in 99% of your cases, you will learn a great deal from this video. So first of all, congratulations on a fine video.

Well, Dennis, thank you. I have to begin, instead of having fun with you, by just simply saying PragerU is an amazing thing. And a million people have watched this 5 minutes since PragerU released it yesterday. And that's a million people who know something about Watergate that they did not know before, which is probably, uh, the context, the complete narrative, the whole story, or at least an introduction by which they might judge it. So PragerU is doing amazing work. And when I visited the PragerU studios, which make Tony Stark's house in Iron Man look small— people have to understand that, that PragerU is a vast industrial complex of truth. And it— but its vastness will overwhelm. Moreover, the average age there is 22, I think. You've got the youngest group of people working there. I'm just so impressed with it.

Thank you. Well, they were impressed with you. When I visited, I get a big burst of enthusiasm over the future, because it's a dark age in American life today. And going there is exactly as you described it.

So you're bending the curve. You're bending the curve when you can get a million people to watch a Watergate video in one day. You know, the library is reopened in Yorba Linda. We couldn't have timed it better because it's been closed for a long time. Now it's reopened after 15 months, and we can have that library open for 5 years and get a million people to go through the Watergate exhibit and study it. Or we can do a PragerU video and reach a million people in a day. It's astonishing.

Right. Well, thank you for saying all of that. We, uh, okay, we touch a lot of people and we want to touch more. So everybody thinks, if you— well, I'll let you answer this. You ask an average American, what is Watergate? We use Watergate always, or something gate. What happened at Watergate? What would they answer?

Uh, a terrible political scandal that Nixon had to resign over.

Interesting.

That's what they'll say, and that's it, right?

That would be it.

But that would be it, and it's true. That is not an untrue statement. It was a terrible political scandal for which Richard Nixon had to resign. But what you can do in 5 minutes is explain, relative to other scandals, relative to the times, relative to the hatred with which Nixon was held— it was partly anti-communism, it had a lot to do with Alger Hiss, Mostly it's about the media. One thing I didn't say on the video, it hadn't happened when we made it, is I talked about Watergate with former President Trump, and he asked me the same question a lot of people would: would Nixon have survived in the media environment of today? And the answer would be yes. There would be talk radio, there would be Fox News, there would be Twitter, there would be alternative points of view, and he would have survived like Trump did. You know, bruised but unbowed.

That's very interesting. I didn't— I would not have expected that response there. That's true that, look, there are more powerful alternative media today. That, that's, that's a very intelligent observation. So I, I— your video did not explain, and nor did it have to. So I have had a question all of my life since it happened. Why did they do— why did they rob, or why did they even enter the Democratic National Committee offices?

You and Richard Nixon, uh, he's— he is said to have thrown an ashtray across the room. I can't corroborate that even with the library at my disposal when he heard about it because it's so stupid. G. Gordon Liddy, the worst hire in the history of the Nixon administration, was hired by a guy named Bud Krogh. And G. Gordon Liddy fancied himself a super sleuth and a super agent. And a hard-bitten G-man, and he had been an FBI man, and he cooked it up. And John Mitchell should have shot it down, thought he did, but G. Gordon Liddy carried it out on his ab initio. He did it himself. There's some question whether or not John Dean knew about it before it happened, but G. Gordon Liddy invented this idea. And he thought he was going to find something of use, but it's the dumbest thing in the world, because nothing is at the headquarters of the party. Everything is at the headquarters of the candidate. And so if you're going to do an actual break-in for the purposes of political chicanery or intelligence gathering, not that it should ever be done, but if you were doing it in Turkey, say, or in Russia, you wouldn't go to the campaign. You wouldn't go to the party headquarters. You go to the candidate's headquarters. It was dumb. That's what— gee, Gordon Liddy thought he'd find something. There's an alternative view out there that I don't quite believe about what John Dean sent him there to get. Whatever it was, it was a dumb, stupid idea and it cost Nixon his second term.

It was— tell me if I'm right— it was particularly stupid given Richard Nixon's astonishing victory in the previous presidential election. It's not like this was a man grasping for power.

That's an exponential stupid level because it happened before the '72 election. and McGovern was on his way to the nomination and he was a sure win. And Nixon might not have known he was going to win 49 states, but he'd gone to China, he'd secured the peace with Vietnam, he'd had détente with Soviet Union. He was going to win in a walk. And so there was no need to go to an empty office to break in to put a bug that didn't work. Uh, and Nixon— every historian, even the most critical historians of Nixon, do not believe he knew before. The break-in, that it was coming. He had no knowledge. He did participate in the cover-up. That's why he was eventually— or wasn't quite impeached, but was going to be impeached.

Right, which leads me to the next question. What if he had said, which seems to me to have not been that difficult, God, was that stupid. I had no idea of this. And these people needed to be investigated and, if necessary, and if necessary punished. What would have happened?

Uh, he would have gotten, you know, 40 verbal lashes from the Washington Post and the New York Times, and it would have been over. I make that point in the PragerU video, that had he simply owned it, as we say, uh, it would have been over. And he was already elected, so there would have been no downside. But in those days, surrounded by the media that had hounded him since 1950 forward, I don't think he was sufficiently confident to do that, or to, uh, to trust that he would get a fair hearing from Sirica, who was the judge we talked about in the PragerU video as well. Because it's not only the political process, there was a criminal process underway, and Sirica was doing whatever he could to get as many heads on the wall as he could.

So what prevented Richard Nixon from saying what I just said and what you said in the video?

I, I don't know. I think it's because Richard Nixon did not believe that it would stop there. If, you know, he eventually asked for Haldeman and Ehrlichman's resignation with the famous explanation David Frost— I gave my enemies a sword and they used it. I had to get rid of my senior staff. I didn't do it soon enough. All of that were bad decisions every step of the way that he did not focus on at any given point and simply transparently say. And he knew that. He said so in his memoirs. His fault, his bad call, a genius with a blind spot. And that blind spot was driven by a very accurate awareness of what the media would do with any concession of weakness. But he still— nevertheless, he should have done that. Um, not burn the tapes. That's the other question we get: why didn't he burn the tapes? And too much of a historian, too much of an eye on history to have burned the tapes. They're fascinating. But he could have just said, my bad, my campaign people got out of control. They're all fired. The FBI should prosecute the people who organized it. Just basically what we're saying about the people who invaded the Congress on January 6th. They're all criminals. They all ought to be prosecuted to the extent that they are culpable for whatever crime they are charged with. And that's it. That's the only answer. But he didn't give it.

You depict a man who was hounded by the media his entire career, and you give a very interesting reason other than politics like anti-communism, and that is that he was not part of the elite. I think that that's a very significant part of your video, and when we come back, I'd like you to expand on. I'm speaking to Hugh Hewitt, who's a scholar at the Nixon Library aside from being a professor of constitutional law and a nationally syndicated radio talk show host on the Salem Network. The video is up at DennisPrager.com. It is a perfect example of a video we put up that has zero political intent. It just wishes to educate.

This is why we're fighting for the soul of America. You should be able to share ideas without fear of being fired from your job or shouted down. You are not to be heard. This is one of the few things we have no precedent for in the United States.

You have the right to remain silent.

Judge Thomas, you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

I do.

I was under constant attack. You're not really black because you're not doing what we expect black people to to do. We know exactly what's going on here. This is the wrong black guy. He has to be destroyed.

So you'd still like to serve on the Supreme Court?

I'd rather die than withdraw from the process.

This is Albert Mogler for townhall.com. The Supreme Court announced last week that it would hear an abortion case coming from the state of Mississippi. The case is Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The infamous abortion clinic in Jackson, Mississippi is challenging legislation that makes abortion illegal after the 15th week of a woman's term. If the law is upheld, lives would be saved, lots of them. This is big news, but it's not necessarily the case that the court will reverse Roe v. Wade. I often refer to the cumulative case theory of the pro-life movement that comes down to this: pro-life legislation and pro-life lawyers working to erode Roe v. Wade step by step. Law by law, restriction by restriction, court precedent by court precedent. Make no mistake, this case is huge and the precedent will be massive. The second issue is even more important. The Mississippi law, and thus this particular Supreme Court case, focuses on the life of the unborn child. That's the biggest issue here. We should watch and hope and pray for change from the courts. We also need to hope and work and pray for a change in human hearts.

Don't you get tired of commercials screaming at you to buy gold now with inflated promises on future values? In an unregulated industry, you need honest, real experts to give you solid advice to protect your wealth and top picks on the best coins and bullion based on real-time data and historical trends. For example, as environmental policy becomes a hot topic, one precious metal that's been significantly undervalued for years is potentially set to surge. Nick Grovich, owner of AmFed Coin and Bullion, has long recommended this precious metal. Up to 600,000 ounces of this rare metal will be needed by 2030 to produce green hydrogen. Nick is doubling down on this pick, and you should too. Call Nick at AmFed Coin and Bullion to find out more. I've been friends with Nick for years. And he's my go-to guy when it comes to coins and bullion. I trust him. He is a good and very knowledgeable man. Call Nick at 800-221-7694. 800-221-7694. AmericanFederal.com. AmericanFederal.com. Not one mistake.

Uh, let me say this. Curtis Liwa is a hero. The more you get to know him, he's an astonishing figure. And we see more and more of them. Mike Lindell is like this. Trump is like this. Um, they, they come across as goofy, normal people, but they are brilliant. Curtis Liwa knows more.

Yeah.

About how New York works and what to do and what not to do.

Uh, he's a genius on that level, and he's been in this world for Uh, All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here with my colleague Hugh Hewitt, who is a Nixon historian, or a historian of Richard Nixon's era. He's with the Nixon Library, which you should all visit, whatever you think of Richard Nixon. It is a wonderful presidential library. Been there many, many times. And what is your role at the Nixon Library?

I am the president and CEO and a member of the board and the general counsel, and I clean up after people who come. They leave Cheeto wrappers around. I— yeah, Dennis, can I— before I run out of space, I got to tell you, I'm so astonished by the number of people who have visited PragerU to watch the Nixon video. In one day, a million people. Because during the break, I was reading about Amazon's purchase of MGM announced this morning for $8.5 billion, and they're doing that to get eyeballs. And everybody competes for viewers. And I think to myself, if they got a show to be watched, you know, a million people at PragerU yesterday is more than watched all of CNN yesterday. And so it's just astonishing what you've done. And someday, I know you're not-for-profit, I want to thank all the people who donate to keep PragerU going because it matters to the future of the country. And people should and ought to include Prager University in their giving, and they ought to plan for them in their estates. They have to do all that stuff because if it's worth doing now, it's worth doing for the next 50 years. But I am amazed that Netflix or Amazon or IT, Apple TV hasn't approached you to run a Prager channel, uh, you know, or a Prager program. Has that happened yet?

It's hard to imagine it happening. Netflix would not even stream No Safe Spaces because I was in it with Adam Carolla.

You're not serious.

I'm totally serious. Netflix is as corrupt as the rest of them.

That's nuts. I mean, just from a value perspective.

But true believers don't care about money. Leftism is a religion. Would a Catholic change his view on abortion for a sum of money? No. Would a leftist change for a sum of money? No.

Yes. Yeah, this is where we disagree. I always think money will drive, eventually will drive, then the creation of an alternative network. Like Fox ought to have the Prager Show running 6 videos in a half hour every day. Even if they only run it at after primetime or before primetime, they had to have the Prager Video show because that's an astonishing audience. You know that, and you do. It happens every time, right? Every time you put up a—

every time. Exactly. And I mean, even my podcast, the Fireside Chat, is 3/4 of a million minimum each week.

And they don't even know about your Ornithology Jones.

My Ornithology What?

Well, I understand you just got back from chasing the Russian rare greenshank.

Yes, I didn't know you knew that. That is correct.

Well, I know I have—

there was a new bird, it's called the, the Prager Hawk.

No, it's the Russian rare greenshank. I read all about it. There's a Prager, uh, uh, what's Dennis up to website that I keep track of.

I would like to announce to the public there is no colleague of mine that can stay serious with me for more than 10 minutes. It is not possible. I bring out the absurd in virtually everyone I talk to. That will be how I am remembered.

Well, then people will remember you fondly.

Yes, I agree with you.

I have no problem with that. You make people happy.

By the way, you don't know, I actually did Either this week or last week, I actually broadcast the story about how the American Ornithological Association is dropping all of the names of birds because a lot of the names belong to white supremacists.

I did not hear that story. Yes. But, you know, I'm not surprised. I'll tell you why. The Battle Commission or the base renaming commission, of which I approve, by the way, I don't believe bases should be named for some of these Confederate generals like Fort Hood, etc. But they're going to rename the destroyer the Antietam, or at least they're talking about it. The Antietam was a Union victory.

I don't understand that. That's right, I don't understand it.

I don't either. It doesn't make— it's sort of— it's beyond Orwellian. It's gone into a sort of madness that cycles and spirals, which is why I think— isn't that part of the success of Prager? Is that enough people? Not Prager Dennis, but PragerU.

No, in a way understood, yeah.

Yeah, that they just need to go somewhere to actually get a baseline of facts. That's what I did the Watergate video for, just give people a baseline context for things.

Do you know with all the attack pieces on us, when it's now approaching 500 videos, they cannot cite one line in one video to condemn PragerU. That's how seriously we take this. The task of being truthful and being sober. And people—

but when did you, when did you ever become a lightning rod? I mean, I've been on the road with you for 30 years doing events, and we've done 100 shows, 200, 500 shows together. You've never said anything remotely controversial other than you are a political conservative and a man of the right. But so is Edmund Burke. I mean, So is Clarence Thomas. So is every great conservative. Why do they not like Dennis Prager now? Are you actually being canceled?

Yes, there are even just PragerU, not just me. But you don't know the great story of when I testified in the Senate?

Oh, I saw that. I played that. But I thought that was a one-off, a one video.

No, no, no, no, no. There are at least 100 PragerU videos videos that are still on, on the restricted list. If you, if you filter out pornography and violence, you cannot see those particular videos. And if you look at the list, not one belongs on it. And we're shadow banned. Oh, it's a very serious problem for us and for all, for all conservative media.

Well, then you're like Ron DeSantis. I'm at the Republican Governors Association today and tomorrow broadcasting in Nashville. And Governor DeSantis will be here, and he signed a law prohibiting political points of view in common carrier platforms, which I will applaud. It's probably not constitutional. I will applaud if they expand it even more to provide that it doesn't just govern political speech, because that's where it's going to have a First Amendment failure. But, but you began to ask me about Nixon, and I think maybe the animus against Dennis Prager is not unrelated to the animus against Richard Nixon in the media, which is if you take on sacred cows, the cows never forget. And Nixon took on Hiss, exposed Hiss as a communist, and the Eastern establishment never forgot and never forgave. Alger Hiss was their fair-haired boy. And the Eastern establishment is, of course, Manhattan Beltway media elite, as fueled by Harvard, Yale, and the other Ivies, into their little cloistered village of influence that is Manhattan and, and Beltway bound. And now they've got annexes in Silicon Valley and Hollywood. But I don't even think this is disputable anymore, Dennis.

That's right, it isn't. Hey, listen, we'll do a part 2. You're terrific and the video is terrific. Great to talk to you.

Terrific. Thank you, my friend.

Thank you. We're going to use some of his comments for fundraising. I didn't expect a word about it my dear friends, to be honest. But you will learn a lot on the Watergate video by Hugh Hewitt at PragerU.

Yeah.

About how New York works and what to do and what not to do. Uh, he's a genius on that level, and he's been in this world for over 40 years. So I wanna say, I hope people will give to his campaign. New York is a bellwether. If New York were to shift, and it would shift dramatically under Curtis Sliwa, nobody else comes close to Curtis. I just wanna say that. There are other candidates that anybody would be better than de Blasio. De Blasio is the nightmare you never thought could happen. He is not only a maniacal ideologue and a socialist and a nut, but he is also incompetent. So the issue is that anybody would be better, but Curtis Sliwa, I really mean this, I believe that he would be in the pantheon of the truly great mayors, a man who gives his life to the job. It's the opposite of the Peter Principle where people just keep rising and rising to their level of incompetence. This is a guy, I think he was born to be the mayor of New York City. This is exactly what the calling is on his life.

He's just an extraordinary I'm Dennis Prager, and I welcome you to the show that is named after me. Yes, we had an entire group of people working. We paid some consultants to come up with a name for the show many years ago, and that's what they decided. Yesterday I reported to you that I had read— I don't remember the first source. What was the first source? From which? Human Events. A conservative website. And they said that it appears that some American embassies were displaying the BLM flag, Black Lives Matter flag.

They were encouraged to by the state?

Of course they would be encouraged. I don't think they did it on their own. Encouraged by the State Department to do so.

Fair enough.

And I remember, of course I remember, it was yesterday. I remember it as if it were yesterday. That's right. A saying, I can't confirm this. I'm reading this in Human Events, but I just want to say for the record, I can't fully confirm this. You have to understand, it's hard for me to find something unbelievable. Or not unbelievable. Difficult to believe. The rot in the top of American life is so deep that I haven't yet wrapped my mind around it. Until a couple of years ago, I admired all of the institutions of America— the CIA, the FBI, and the State Department. I knew State Department had positions that I didn't share. It's always been true. Nevertheless, I did not think that anti-American, the anti-American rot of the left had seeped into the State Department. These are people who are supposed to represent our country, not represent enemies of our country. And yet it turns out embassies around the world, not all, did in fact display the anti-American America is a cesspool flag called Black Lives Matter, which is a thuggish, fascist-hating organization. It's a hate group, okay? BLM is a hate group, period. If you don't know that, there's something wrong with you. State Department unfurls Black Lives Matter flags. Washington Examiner: U.S. diplomats unfurled Black Lives Matter banners to commemorate the first anniversary of George Floyd's murder. By the way, Once again, the whole thing is all made up by the lying media. All made up, the whole thing. George Floyd was not killed because he was black. It has nothing to do with it. This was stated by the Attorney General of Minnesota, who is black and who was on the left, Keith Ellison. They had zero reason to prosecute Derek Chauvin.

Uh, because hate crimes are crimes where there's an explicit motive and, uh, of bias. We don't have any evidence that Derek Chauvin factored in George Floyd's race as he did what he did.

Okay, that's it. That's the Attorney General, Black Democrat. Far left, uh, on, on the, uh, on the, of the trial, on the whole episode with George Floyd. Had nothing to do with race. How do you like that, folks? Nothing. Just like Ferguson had nothing to do with race. Nothing. We live in a world of lies. BLM is a lying organization. U.S. diplomats unfurled Black Lives Matter banners to commemorate the first anniversary of George Floyd's murder, as Secretary of State Antony Blinken launched a public relations campaign to condemn racism at home and abroad. That's all we need in a, in a, in a, uh, foreign minister. What do we call our foreign ministers? Secretary of State. Yes. This is what he said, Blinken, the Secretary of State of the United States, the man who represents America to the world. On the anniversary of George Floyd's murder, we remember that to be a credible force for human rights around the world, we must face the reality of racism at home. What's he talking about? It is the greatest lie since the blood libel against the Jews. I wrote about this years ago. This is the second greatest national lie in history, that America is racist. Okay? The Democrats and the New York Times and Yale and your kid's public school perpetrate the greatest lie since Jews killed Christian children to use their blood to bake matzah for Passover. That's how big the lie is. 1-800-PREGAR-776, relieffactor.com, 800-500-8384.

But why do so many people really hate the Jewish people?

Well, it's a hatred with a long history. Actually, if you read the Bible or the Talmud, there is almost a sense of resignation that this kind of hatred is permanent. And it has to do with the fact that Jewish people live by a different set of laws. And we're not perfect, we're as human as anybody else, but we do have a set of aspirations that is quite stringent. And that means that we are sometimes seen as a people who set themselves apart from others whether linguistically, culturally, or religiously.

It's so good, we're gonna have to rerun it a few times because it was just an amazing conversation about the biblical roots of American liberty, the biblical, the undeniably biblical roots of the kind of government that we have had here since the beginning, since before the beginning, frankly, but that's another story, since before 1776. We also did an interview, I want people to get to know Tim Eaton. He is the founder, CEO of Nutramedics, okay? I want you to know who this guy is because, as I say over and over again, we have tremendous economic power in America and we've not leveraged it.

Hi everybody, you're listening to the Dennis Prager Show, and Philip in Chicago. Hello.

Hi Dennis, um, I listen all the time quietly. You know, I'm sitting here thinking, um, race has nothing to do with race. It's nothing to do with race. Yeah, talk about race all the time. That's like, that's like a Holocaust denier. You sound more and more like a racism denier to me every time that I am a racism denier.

Hey, you're right.

I know, but are you?

But again, it's a lie that America is racist. That's my claim. It's a lie that America is racist.

Okay, but, but when it comes, but when it comes to the Holocaust, Oh, wait, the Holocaust?

Holocaust occurred?

Some of the most vile people that you can find on the planet. So as a black man, for you as a Jew, but for me as a black man, when you sit up there and just deny race, uh, racism had nothing to— uh, slavery had nothing to do with racism.

Did I ever say that? Did I ever say that? Either retract it or I'm hanging up.

No, no, you don't have to hang up.

Did I ever say— did I ever say something? Okay, if you don't listen to me, I'm hanging up again. You can't have a monologue. Did I ever say, hint, or imply that racism had nothing to do with slavery?

I doubt it. I think you didn't.

All right, bye. Okay, it's too bad. You know how often this happens? They don't want a dialogue. For a man to actually believe that I said that racism had nothing to do with slavery, you know how sick a mind I just spoke to? How perverted a mind. I rarely insult the listeners, even those who differ with me. That is sick. To say that America is not racist is not the same as to say that slavery was not racist. I'll tell you this, if there are many people of any color who think like my last caller, the prognosis for this country is not a happy one. What kind of mind would make up something so stupid? Is there anyone, literally anyone, in America who denies that slavery was connected to racism? Even racists would acknowledge it. They would just think it was a good thing. How does, how does somebody with those thoughts get to those thoughts?

I don't know.

Anyway, it's educational. Back to the State Department. Our Secretary of State: On the anniversary of George Floyd's murder, we remember that to be a credible force for human rights around the world We must face the reality of racism at home. Yeah, so, uh, we can't really condemn Iran or China because after all we are systemically racist country. This is the— this is the American representative to the world, the Secretary of State. He wrote that on Twitter and it had an accompanying video. By addressing our shortcomings openly and honestly, we live up to the values we stand for a world Worldwide, by calling America systemically racist, Mr. Blinken, all we do is undermine our credibility around the world. The enemies of America, the enemies of liberty, love you and love the American left. The American left are the allies of the enemies of America because they are enemies of America. Not liberals, not liberals, not liberals. I said it 3 times. Liberals enable the left to attain power because they're so naive and they've been so brainwashed to believe that the danger is from the right. You know, I mentioned this maybe 20 years ago. It's been a long time since I mentioned this, maybe 10 years ago. So starting in my sophomore year in high school, I started to collect books. I, I don't mean old books, I mean just buy books. I loved being surrounded by books and I loved books. And I remember once my dear friend did the same thing and he said, so how many books are you up to? I said 32. I just remember for whatever reason when I had 32 books, and I remember one of them because It was prominent on my bookshelf. I even remember what color the book was. The book was Danger on the Right. Actually, could you look it up? Danger on the Right. It was put out by a bunch of professors working for some distinguished organization. And I believed it then too. Whoa, Danger on the Right, Foster and Epstein. That's right. But they, they were with, uh, some, uh, some group with some, uh, it was, I don't know, some anti-discrimination league or something. But that was the book, Danger on the Right. And liberals have never changed their view of life. The danger is on the right. Hey, by the way, for all those who thought it was a great idea to bring in a million folks from the Middle East into Europe and any number into America, and watching Jews being beaten up by Muslims or Muslim supporters in the United States and elsewhere, Still think it was a great idea? You know, people who come to countries bring their values with them. And do you know that the Middle East is saturated with Jew hatred? I mean real, the real deal Jew hatred. Nazi-like, exterminationist type. Kill the Jews. Death to the Jews. That's a very common chant. Not to the Israelis. They don't give a damn about the word Israel, as my column this week points out. And as my Fox News appearance last week, which was fairly ubiquitous on the internet, noted, the battle in the Middle East is not over land. It has never been over land. For many Muslims, there is no place for a Jewish state in the Middle East, period. End of issue. It's not about land. It's about religion. Israel is the size of New Jersey. Arabs have land from the Atlantic Ocean to the Persian Gulf. There are 22 Arab states. One of them has a majority Palestinian population, Jordan. So please don't buy the lie that it is about land. If Israel were the size of Manhattan, they'd try to exterminate it. These are the unpleasant truths of the world in which we live. I'm Dennis Prager.

Morning, glory America. Bonjour. Hi, Canada. Hugh Hewitt inside the Beltway. We have a ceasefire in Israel between it and the terrorist organization Hamas. Which kicked in at 2 a.m. Israeli time last night. It will mark the end of 11 days of fighting. It was very tense right up to the moment of the ceasefire entering into effect, but it has held for the first few hours. More than 230 Palestinians, about 170 of whom are terrorists. So 50 civilians, 12 Israeli innocents as well, dead in the fighting. It's a tragedy. By the scale of previous Israeli-Hamas wars, it is a smaller death toll, but Hamas has been ravaged. Hamas took it on the chin. The new Israeli technology, the new Israeli intelligence, the new Israeli missiles have just blasted Hamas into the ground. In the middle of this, a story arrives from Ynet that Iran sent an armed drone into Israel from Iraq or Syria. Which is a cause of great concern looking down the road. Secretary of State Blinken is going to visit Israel in the coming days. Egypt gets the lion's share of the credit for getting the parties to agree on the ceasefire time. President Sisi is going to go and continue the mediation. The key story here is what the Israeli Defense Forces said last night. Military intelligence-directed officials said on Thursday that IDF had almost depleted its target bank within the Gaza Strip as the current round of fighting with the Palestinian terrorist groups may be nearing its closures. This came out just shortly before the ceasefire.

Israel's enemies hate, number one, women. They're misogynists. Number two, they hate homosexuals. They're utter homophobic. In fact, they like to kill homosexuals. And lastly, they hate atheists. They like to kill atheists. But the left is on their side. How does that work, Joe Pollack?

Well, Israel also loves certain things that the left doesn't like. Israel loves family. Israel loves territory. Israel loves the right to self-defense, the right to bear arms. They don't have the equivalent of the Second Amendment, but you certainly see a lot of people who are armed in Israel, and the country has a very low murder rate. There's very little crime.

Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. Dave in Milwaukee, hello.

Yes, you just said that of course racism, uh, slavery is based on racism, correct?

Correct.

And since America had slaves from 1619 until the Civil War, and then Jim Crow laws for 100 years after that, that is why America is racist. You can't have it both ways.

All right, listen, I want to thank you for calling. Okay, I have nothing to add. Every word you said is correct. Jim Crow was racist, and so was slavery. We're living in 2021. Not 1960 or 1860. I don't know why that is a complex issue, my friends, unless you just want to smear a country and hate it. This is the best country on earth for a black human being to live in. Okay, that's my assertion. And guess who agrees with me? Tens of millions of Africans who would like to move here and millions who did move here. Everyone who says America is systemically racist is saying that every black African who moves to America is an idiot. Right? Did Jews move to Germany in 1930? Any Jews? A big, big migration movement of Jews into Germany in the 1930s? Why not? Because they knew it was a Jew-hating country. People don't move into a country that hates them. See? The war is not just against America, it is against reason. It is against basic truths of life. The left is so corrupt that it corrupts truth. Do you understand, folks? If you don't, it's because you don't want to. That is why increasingly they are saying that there are no right answers in math. This is a left-wing position. That is what kids in Oregon are starting to learn. Read about the Oregon Education Department. The idea that there is one right answer in math is white supremacist. Get it? It's a white idea. Which is exactly what the Ku Klux Klan believes. Only whites get math right.

Yeah.

The left and the Ku Klux Klan are the two biggest racist things in America, but the Ku Klux Klan is tiny and the left is gigantic. What is— that's my new riddle. What is the difference between the left and the Ku Klux Klan with regard to race? The left is much larger and more dangerous. That is it, my new riddle. There you go. It's my third riddle. I've made up 3 riddles in my life. Okay, everybody, the good news is we have the male-female hour.

People say, what can I do? What can I do? Well, what you can do, one thing you can do is share the information we present on this program. So if you get an email, you can simply forward the email to people you think that would appreciate it, or tell them to sign up for the newsletter and they can get it themselves. But these, uh, these videos, some of them are really important. We just did one Actually, with, uh, my gosh, we had a whole bunch. We had an amazing interview with Oz Guinness. Uh, we had, uh, an amazing, uh, interview with him about his new book. It is fundamental. It's so good, we're gonna have to rerun it a few times because it was just an amazing conversation about the biblical roots of American liberty, the biblical, the undeniably biblical roots of the kind of government that we have had here since the beginning, since before the beginning, frankly, but that's another story, since before 1776. We also did an interview, I want people to get to know Tim Eaton. He is the founder, CEO of Nutramedics, okay? I want you to know who this guy is because as I say over and over again, we have tremendous economic power in America and we've not leveraged it. And what I mean by that is that Americans who share our values spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year. So the question is, how do we spend it? Where do we spend it? Are you giving that money to companies like Coca-Cola or Nike or now Adidas or Skechers that do not share your values, that are willing to look the other way, when we're dealing with horrific human rights abuses.

Sand in Tel Aviv. No, it's just a society that's comfortable with firearms. And these are things that Israel believes in and the left does not believe in. Israel believes also in assimilation. When people come to Israel, they are put through an intensive language training so that they can speak Hebrew, the main language in Israel, although English and Arabic are also official languages. People are taught Hebrew and they're taught the cultural and religious traditions of the society so they can fit in. And there's a really comprehensive, intense effort to do that.

Talk about a bit of this crying in the morning thing. It's depression, you know, let's get that fixed. That's what men think, isn't it? What? Unless you've got the answer, unless you can say, oh, I know this bloke in the year 600 who could fix that, then there's no point bothering.

How do you rate women so well?

I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability. I love him, I love him, and I don't care what you think. I love him for the man he wants to be. Do you know I never tire of that opening? That's how good it is, and we should give credit where it is due. Yep, Norman O'Connor. I think of Norman regularly. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I said that in the hope that it would elicit some reaction from the Living Martyr. O'Connor, who is known for a calm and subdued personality. But he smiled. He not only smiled, he is continuing the absurdity that I began. There is no Norman O'Connor involved. He did it. He chose the the themes, but I knew that he'd be shocked. Okay, and now ladies and gentlemen, we return to Earth. This is the Male/Female Hour, every second hour on Wednesday, or every Wednesday the second hour. Both are accurate. Most honest talk about men and women I know of in the media, for a very good reason. And that is, I am not a man fan and I am not a woman fan. God in his infinite wisdom has made as many female jerks as male jerks. An amazing, amazing achievement. And as many wonderful men as wonderful women. Alright. So I have, I have one of these hours now where I'm asking and I will react as opposed to I say something and you react. The last year and a half has tested just about everybody. America has not presented people with tests, generally speaking, for at least two generations. The Depression was a test. World War II was a test. There were— just talking about the recent past, obviously if you go further back even more so. And we just had a test. How, how will you react to the to COVID and to the lockdown, not to mention the riots that engulfed some of the big cities of our country. So that is not what I'm focusing on. I'm focusing on the COVID and the lockdown in particular, though it is definitely— I, now that I think of it, you can throw in the the riots and protests as well. So here's my question on the male-female hour: Were you pleased with or displeased with your spouse's or partner's reactions to the last year and a half? B, were you surprised by your spouse's or partner's reactions to the last year and a half. Call immediately because I want to start taking calls as soon as they show up on the board. 1-800-PRAGER-776. Remember, you're anonymous, so feel free to say how you feel. 877-243-7776. For example, were you unhappy with how panicked, how afraid your spouse was? For that matter, were you unhappy with how unafraid your spouse was? Maybe you're afraid and your spouse was more than happy to not wear a mask outdoors. So that's the That is the question. See, until people are tested— this is a revelation to me this year. It is incredible to me how many things I learned about life in the last year and a half, since I thought I had pretty much— I never thought I mastered life, but I thought I really had a lot of clarity. And voilà, I've learned a lot more. I learned the ease, for example— this is not a male-female revelation, but I learned the ease with which people can be brainwashed. I, I— that, that was surprising to me. I thought brainwashing was only possible in a dictatorship. I did not know that brainwashing was possible, mass brainwashing was possible, in a free country. This was a— this was probably the biggest revelation Well, there was many others. The amount of corruption at the top in this country is also a revelation. Anyway, I should do— let me do an hour on that, revelations of the last 18 months. It takes tests to really know somebody. That's the next thing that I didn't— I did not know this prior to this last year and a half. You really don't know you, and you really don't know those in your life until you're tested. And this, this last year and a half was a test. So are you surprised, maybe even pleasantly surprised, at how your spouse or partner reacted? Are you disappointed? That's the question on the table. It's a tough thing to be disappointed in a spouse. What is my old line? A man wants to be admired by the woman he loves and a woman wants to admire the man she loves. That's so. People say, do you love your spouse? But especially in the case of the woman, it has to do so much with admiration and respect. That's, uh, that, that is the way it is. All right, 1-800-PRAGER-776. And let's go to, uh, Danny in Los Angeles. Hello.

Hello, Mr. Prager. It's a pleasure to talk to you today.

Thank you.

Yeah, I Yeah, so your question is very interesting. I was very pleased with my wife's reaction to the whole lockdown and the COVID situation. Her political views have aligned with mine so much that, you know, we both don't enjoy wearing the masks and we are devout Christian followers in our church. Would love to go to a church like Jack Eric's church, who stayed open the whole time. But yeah, so I was just a little surprised— not surprised, but not quite sure exactly how she was going to react. But I'm so pleased that we have the— we're on the same mindset.

Wow. What church do you attend that was open?

Well, mine was open for the most part, but not in person without the mask. But, uh, Knott Avenue Christian Church is the church I attend in Anaheim.

All right, thank you. For the record, may I speak of my disappointment in churches and synagogues acting like sheep before an irrational regime? Safety has become a god. There is a religion, safetyism. I— this I must say, this I identified decades ago when I used to say health uber alles, safety uber alles. Why don't you play the rewording of the national anthem? Sean, that I did. Identified it a long time ago. You'll be safe. Drop all of your convictions. Just be safe.

He's a genius on that level, and he's been in this world for over 40 years. So I want to say I hope people will give to his campaign. New York is a bellwether. If New York were to shift, and it would shift dramatically under Curtis Sliwa, nobody else comes close to Curtis. I just want to say that. There are other candidates that anybody would be better than de Blasio. De Blasio is the nightmare you never thought could happen. He is not only a maniacal ideologue and a socialist and a nut, But he is also incompetent. So the issue is that anybody would be better. But Curtis Sliwa, I really mean this, I believe that he would be in the pantheon of the truly great mayors, a man who gives his life to the job. It's the opposite of the Peter Principle where people just keep rising and rising to their level of incompetence. This is a guy, I think he was born to be the mayor of New York City. This is exactly what the calling is on his life. He's just an extraordinary figure. So folks, Curtis Sliwa for mayor. If you can vote, vote. Tell your friends.

Hey, Dennis Prager.

Question is, how are you in San Francisco?

Well, you know, we're talking about my wife. I love her. We're talking about the state of the city. That's probably another, another conversation.

It is, correct.

So my life, um, has been, it's been up and down actually. So I'm a news junkie and I anticipated the pandemic and buying supplies and a couple hundred dollars worth of canned goods in January, at which point she said I needed therapy. And then I think—

wait, she said you needed therapy?

Yeah, she said at that point, you're crazy, you need to stop reading the news.

Um, so you were the more— you were the more worried one?

Well, I have to admit, in hindsight now, I actually believe I got a little duped by what I believe is some CCP propaganda with the folks dropping over dead in the street. Uh, I was actually kind of paying attention to that news bubble and I wasn't buying just N95 masks in January. I was buying goggles. Um, so she definitely thought I was a little, a little spooky.

Uh-huh. I'm on your wife's side.

Yeah.

Well, come on, it's getting into your mucous membrane. It's also, if it's tiny enough to get into your lungs through a mask, it's probably going to get on your eye.

All right. At least, you know, to your credit, you know, masks don't work. Okay. So at least we agree on that.

Yeah.

So a couple months later, the shortages happen and her girlfriend calls her and she's panicking because she doesn't have enough food. Food in her house and there was nothing in the store. And that's when she turned around and gave me the big hug and said, you know, wow, I, you know, this isn't happening to us right now because of you, so thank you.

So it worked out well.

It's been up and down. I, you know, I do a little bit of data analysis for a living, so I, as I watch the, you know, the reporting progress and I, I noticed that a lot of the information that we were getting was without context, I, I actually relaxed my concern quite a bit once I realized—

well, I, I assume you got vaccinated.

No, that's the problem we have now. She, uh, I've told her that by no means should any of us get vaccinated with something that doesn't have any long-term studies, and she went and did it secretly and didn't tell me.

Oh, is that interesting. Interesting. That's not what I would have expected. So the two of you are somewhat unpredictable in this regard. Wow. Thanks for calling. It's fascinating. So the wife sneaks off and gets the vaccine. It's, it's very interesting. All right, that was an interesting call. Uh, let's go to Laura in San Antonio, Texas. Hello, Laura.

Howdy, Dennis. How are you today?

I'm well, and I love howdy. I say howdy all the time.

Yes, well, howdy to you from the Hill Country. And my husband showed true colors, um, when COVID, uh, the lockdowns happened here in the Bexar County and Medina County areas. Bexar County, of course, is much more sinful and liberal, and so there were many more rules there than there were out in the business where we had, in the county where we had our business. And so the, he, we got told that our business was nonessential even though it was a park. And he immediately lawyered up and sent correspondence to the county judge. And my kids were so impressed and so proud that their dad was standing up against it and fighting for our business and for our family and for our employees. And he was— my husband was definitely true to form and has been the entire time. So it, uh, and we definitely resisted, um, the masks and all that wherever possible.

Wow, that is a beautiful story. And I'd like to add something, and I, as any of you would know, I have no intention of hurting anybody's feelings. Sounds silly because we live in the age of hurt feelings, but in this case I do mean it. Nevertheless, I have to say this. I think a child whose parents were filled with fear did not do as well ultimately as a child in this family, seeing the, the father and the parents fight the, uh, the lockdown, the unconstitutional, unscientific, irrational, immoral lockdown. And I called it all those things in March of 2020. Children don't respond well to frightened parents. We'll be back. Male-Female Hour, Dennis Prager Show.

This is Albert Mogler for Townhall.com. The Supreme Court announced last week that it would hear an abortion case coming from the state of Mississippi. The case is Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The infamous abortion clinic in Jackson, Mississippi is challenging legislation that makes abortion illegal after the 15th week of a woman's term. If the law is upheld, Lives would be saved, lots of them. This is big news, but it's not necessarily the case that the court will reverse Roe v. Wade. I often refer to the cumulative case theory of the pro-life movement that comes down to this: pro-life legislation and pro-life lawyers working to erode Roe v. Wade step by step, law by law, restriction by restriction, court precedent by court precedent. Make no mistake, this case is huge and the precedent will be massive. The second issue is even more important. The Mississippi law, and thus this particular Supreme Court case, Focuses on the life of the unborn child. That's the biggest issue here. We should watch and hope and pray for change from the courts. We also need to hope and work and pray for a change in human hearts.

He's a genius on that level, and he's been in this world for over 40 years. So I want to say, I hope people will give to his campaign. New York is a bellwether. If New York were to shift, and it would shift dramatically under Curtis Sliwa. Nobody else comes close to Curtis. I just want to say that. There are other candidates that anybody would be better than de Blasio. De Blasio is the nightmare you never thought could happen. He is not only a maniacal ideologue and a socialist and a nut, but he is also incompetent. So The issue is that anybody would be better, but Curtis Sliwa, I really mean this, I believe that he would be in the pantheon of the truly great mayors, a man who gives his life to the job. It's the opposite of the Peter Principle where people just keep rising and rising to their level of incompetence. This is a guy, I think he was born to be the mayor of New York City. This is exactly what the calling is on his life. He's just an extraordinary figure. So folks, Curtis Sliwa for mayor. If you can vote, vote. Tell your friends.

He's somebody Well, hi everybody. Male-Female Hour, second hour on Wednesday. Here we are, Dennis Prager. The question on the table is This year, this year and a half was a test of everybody, of every American. And that is your, your, your reaction to COVID and lockdown and your reaction to the racism riots, the quote-unquote anti-racism riots, and massive protests. And the question of the male-female hour is, did it surprise you? That is the reaction of your spouse. And that's the question on the table. Tempe, Arizona, and Carl. Hello, Carl.

Hello, Dennis Prager. I started out— this is a Regarding COVID, I started out middle of the road. It's probably not going to be as bad as they say, uh, you know, but it's probably not going to be nothing. Um, everybody's cool. And then my wife started getting into kind of conspiracies and QAnon and COVID is, COVID is fake and, uh, led, you know, just, I mean, QAnon is full of different conspiracies. It just led from one thing to another.

And she would tell me about them.

I'm like, oh, well, okay, maybe there's a reasonable, you know, answer for that. And she says no. And I started to drive a wedge and she's like, you don't believe me. You think I'm stupid. And I tried to, you know, stay middle of the road and it's just, man, it just, it just escalated and escalated. And, uh, it's pretty rough for quite a while. We're all good. She's out of that. We're out of that.

But, um, give me an example. I am truly not familiar with it. Uh, give me an example of a conspiracy that she believes.

I mean, I can't even, I can't even remember it, man. They were so bad. You know, QAnon is made up. No, I'm sorry. COVID is made up. Um, the big hospital ship brought to New York wasn't there to treat patients. It was, it had to do with like rescuing sex-trafficked children.

And okay, that's genuine. Okay, that's genuine irrational thinking. I, I was just curious. I'm glad things worked out, let's put it that way. All right, Lydia in Calabasas, California. Pumpkins, California.

Hello, Pumpkins, California. Yes, Dennis. Hello. Pleasure to speak to you and, um, quite honored. So I guess overall I was truly surprised by how strong my husband was and how committed he was to maintaining normality. He owns a small business that employs about 60 people that is technically a medical center because he treats for sleep— he does studies for sleep apnea. He went and told every employee that that he wanted to keep every single location open, keep the main office open, and that they were concerned they could just, you know, make— work their own schedules and come when they wanted, but he continued to pay everyone. And he, he supported me because I work providing oxygen and sleep equipment to pulmonary patients. Every doctor I work with was talking non-stop about about, you know, the fear I should have and what was going on. And we just continued to say to each other, we're going to move on. This— we have to maintain as much normality as we can.

So you admired your husband's reaction?

Absolutely. And he supported— he supported maintaining—

would you have predicted how admirable his reaction would be?

You know, he's a super strong person and, you know, very straightforward. And I just was surprised by just how strong and how committed he was. I mean, we were losing money like crazy and he just said, no, these people are all providers for their families and we need to help them. And so we, we kept every one of the labs open. Through COVID and are now back open. And he was one of the first to say, as soon as the CDC and those— our politicians in California allowed, uh, we opened back up the labs and everything is normal now.

Well, got a good man there, and I suspect he has a good woman. I'm thinking about the question, are we producing strong men in our society? My sense is that in some cases, yes, but by and large, we're not. That's another subject we should do a male-female hour on. All right, listen, I would say in the course of my career I might have asked 2 or 3 people or companies would they sponsor the show. 99% obviously approach us. In this case, I approached them because I was amazed at the product. I have had the, this tingling and numbness in the extremities. I've had it in my feet much of my life. The inserts in my shoes actually helped tremendously. Then I read about Nerve Renew, started taking it. I'm happy to say that after about 8 to 10 months of Nerve Renew, shockingly, I got rid of the inserts. That's how effective it is.

This is why we're fighting for the soul of America. You should be able to share ideas without fear of being fired from your job or shouted down. You are not to be heard. This is one of the few things we have no precedent for in the United States.

You have the right to remain silent.

Judge Thomas, do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

I do.

I was under constant attack. You're not really black because you're not doing what we expect black people to do. We know exactly what's going on here. This is the wrong black guy. He has to be destroyed.

This is Albert Mohler for TownHall.com. The Supreme Court announced last week that it would hear an abortion case coming from the state of Mississippi. The case is Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The infamous abortion clinic in Jackson, Mississippi is challenging legislation that makes abortion illegal after the 15th week of a woman's term. If the law is upheld, lives would be saved, lots of them. This is big news, but it's not necessarily the case that the court will reverse Roe v. Wade. I often refer to the cumulative case theory of the pro-life movement that comes down to this: pro-life legislation and pro-life lawyers working to erode Roe v. Wade step by step, law by law, restriction by restriction, court precedent by court precedent. Make no mistake, this case is huge and the precedent will be massive. The second issue is even more important. The Mississippi law, and thus this particular Supreme Court case, focuses on the life of the unborn child. That's the biggest issue here. We should watch and hope and pray for change from the court. We also need to hope and work and pray for a change in human hearts.

For example, As environmental policy becomes a hot topic, one precious metal that's been significantly undervalued for years is potentially set to surge. Nick Grovich, owner of AMFED Coin and Bullion, has long recommended this precious metal. Up to 600,000 ounces of this rare metal will be needed by 2030 to produce green hydrogen. Nick is doubling down on this pick and you should too. Call Nick at AmFed Coin and Bullion to find out more. I've been friends with Nick for years. Hi. This is the Male-Female Hour, Wednesday, second hour. I'm Dennis Prager. Were you in any way surprised by your spouse's reaction to two tests that occurred in this past year and a half? COVID lockdown and the riots. I can imagine a couple in which the reactions to both differed tremendously, one being very on the COVID lockdown, being very supportive of lockdown, extremely fearful to the point— there are, I know of such people. There are people who didn't leave their home for a year. Especially in New York City, where the panic was greatest, in my opinion, to the extent that you can quantify panic. And wherein you might have a couple, one to say, we got to get out of this apartment and we got to get the kids to play with other kids, and the other one says, no, no, no, it's too dangerous to have our kids play with other kids. That would be an example of a difference. Then there's the riots. Yeah, America's racist, might want— one might say we have to support the BLM, and the other one say, what, are you kidding? This country's a blessing whether you're black or white. These people are tearing down the country. That's pretty different reaction. So those, those are two possibilities if indeed there was an issue. All right, so we have a caller from Naples, Italy, and that's Laura. Hello, Laura.

Hi, Dennis.

Hi.

So we, we are a, um, Department of Defense family and had the opportunity to come to Italy, um, last year, and in fact arrived on March 11th, 2020. And when the jet lag wore off, we were essentially told, "Welcome to Italy. Stay in your hotel until further notice." And that ended up— we were 3 small children with us between the ages of 5 and 11 in a 1-room hotel room outside of Naples. And that lasted for 111 days. But the thing that was— and of course, you don't know what's going to happen or how people react until they're actually in these situations, right?

That's what— that's what I call it.

You know, I don't think we would have got through this as well as we have without my husband and his constant support of of we're going to make life as normal as possible. We're not going to live in fear. We're not going to let the kids think that there's anything to be afraid of. That yes, there are people wearing masks and we do what we have to do. We, in some cases, have to salute smartly and carry on. But when we can, we're not going to follow the crowd um, when we don't really have to.

Still, I have to commend you both. I mean, 5 people in one room for 111 days. I get claustrophobic thinking about it.

Before we left, the kids were, um, we were something of a family in crisis. Kids weren't getting along, and I threatened them at one point that we were— if we had to, we were going to sign up as missionaries and go live in Mongolia in a yurt until you kids could get along.

And I prefer the yurt to what you had, actually.

Well, a one-room hotel— a one-room hotel in Italy is like a yurt with room service. And, um, so we did get that.

100. So you, you did— you were able to leave the room for walks, though?

Um, you know, so this is one of the great things about southern Italy is that they have this sense of not wanting to be dictated by other people what they're going to do or how they're going to do it. The owner of the hotel turned the hotel into a home complex, so he said anybody wants to come downstairs, uh, and you are— we are a family.

Wow.

And that was how he—

yes.

Well, that proves— thank you, thank you so much. That proves one of the— I think as soon as I say it, you'll think it's obvious, but I don't think people think about it that much. Individuals are everything. Individuals shape history. Individuals shape your life. And especially— well, both for good and for bad. A handful of bad people do a staggering amount of damage, and a handful of good people do a staggering amount of good, although it's much easier to do mass evil than mass good, just the way it works in life. But that, that's a good example. What if she had had a hotel owner who— a hotel manager, whatever it was— who was freaked out? What, are you kidding? I'm gonna have people— I could see in America, maybe not in Italy, I'm sorry to say this, I could see in America a hotel manager thinking, I can't have people gather in the lobby. What if somebody gets COVID and dies? We'll be sued. How much of American life is governed by fear of being sued? Is not quantifiable, but it is enormous. We'll be sued. We'll be sued. That's— it governs businesses more than any other factor, more than what will sell. Will we be sued? Okay, let's get to more of you here. And, uh, Granbury, Texas. Matthew, hello.

Hi Dennis, how are you today?

I'm well, thank you.

So yeah, um, my wife and I, we didn't deal with a lot of the riots, so that's not really, uh, too relevant. We're about 30 minutes, uh, southwest of Fort Worth, so we're kind of a suburb of Fort Worth. But, um, the lockdowns and the mask mandates and all that stuff. Pretty much from the beginning, my wife and I have been on the same page with disagreeing with kind of the public view, and I have been more of the public face of that battle and gone to school board meetings and dealt with superintendents and city officials.

All right, tell me more in a moment. We'll be back. Male-Female Hour, Dennis Prager.

I mean, I remember sitting in an enclosed wooden structure out on a street in Manhattan 6 months or so ago, and it was completely enclosed, had heaters going. I'm thinking, wait a minute, I'm inside an enclosed space on the street. Why can't I just be inside the enclosed restaurant? It's— and the restaurant owner who I'm friends with She said, it's crazy, but this is okay with New York, but opening my restaurant inside is not. Buddy, it makes no sense. None of it makes sense, and no wonder nobody trusts anybody.

Mike, how about me having to close in Florida and then flying in a plane right next to people, right, in Florida, right? So I'm in New York, I gotta get on a plane to get to Florida to look at real estate to open a restaurant. and I'm gonna pack planes. I mean, how does that make any sense?

I know, I know. There's nothing— let's face it, there's nothing about the last year and a half that's made sense. But one thing that does make sense is if you take away government assistance because of the pandemic, you're going to motivate people to work. I saw you on Fox and Friends talking about how business is booming in Florida and how different it is in New York. Can you talk a little bit about Florida's decision to take away the coronavirus assistance money, the pandemic assistance money, what that's doing in terms of being able to hire people in the workforce.

Well, first, I want to give credit to the FLRA, the Florida Lodging and Restaurant Association. They're just incredible here in Florida. They got it. And they really— they're very good at the political environment. And they put out a message.

Final segment of the Male-Female Hour. I'm Dennis Prager. Matthew in Texas, you were saying that you and your wife had similar reactions to COVID and both of you were skeptical. Is that correct?

Yeah, I mean, we tend to get all our information from non-mainstream media sources. So, um, we came to different conclusions than what the mainstream media would want us to. And so it led me to be pretty active in the public fight against a lot of the tyrannical actions that local governments and state governments were taking. So I was, uh, at school board meetings and talking to city council and superintendents and all of that fun stuff. And my wife was— she's not quite as vocal as I am, but she was on a personal one-to-one basis trying to change minds and hearts, you might say.

Well, good man. Unfortunately, you had to hear or read alternate sources to the hysterical non-truth-oriented New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, LA Times. They have, uh, they have lost any credibility in my eyes. Say it with no joy. None. As I have told you often, if they report the number of victims in an earthquake in Ecuador, I believe it, because it has nothing to do with left-right. But anything to do with left-right, I know their, their commitment is to the left, not to the truth. So he and his spouse were on the same page. Listen to this as I go down the list here. Mitch: I was surprised, and it changed us for the better. It tested us. John: Not surprised by wife, she's strong independent thinker. Darryl: Not surprised wife got COVID, she was a real trooper, went back to work. Ron: Not surprised we bought a table and chairs and went to restaurant— restaurants. James: I was annoyed— I, excuse me, I was overjoyed at my spouse spouse's reaction. Frank didn't change our relationship. We grew up together, not— no surprises. And Ben, at 29 years old, it did not change the relationship, but I did put my foot down. Well, I don't have the time to find out how he did. I'm very happy that this existed. Be interesting to hear of the— where— from couples wherein there were real differences. It's, uh, it was a test though. That's the point. That's one of the points I wanted to make. The reactions to COVID and the reactions to the riots were tests.

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

Good morning, Hugh. And I want to remind you that poetry is the hard nucleus around which all other literature forms. But that's not what this— people need to know their Joe Biden to get that one, but I do. That's not what this poem is about, though. However, as I'm sitting on my Zoom call wearing jammies and still showerless, it occurs to me in life that I have never felt so powerless. There are ideas I can't read about and places I can't go, people that my Facebook doesn't think I ought to know. And as crises in the country and in California mounted, I have deepening suspicions of the way the votes were counted. If I want to reach my senator and say what must be said, I can put it in an email, which you know is never read. Then I suddenly decided, as my spirit grew so weary, I'd adopt self-application of the broken window theory. Instead of chasing what I can't, it's much the better plan to focus my attention and to fix the things I can. I'll repair that broken tile. And attach that wobbly knob. Clean my writing desk so people think I'm not a slob. Brighten up my outlook without a pharmaceutical. Straightening your sock drawer is really therapeutic. Happily embracing the way the day is taking me. Practicing piano without my mother making me. I've never felt so energized. I've never felt so smart.

In studio There's a young woman who just completed her third year. They don't say junior year now in some colleges. For some reason it's considered sexist. I can't figure it out. Freshman is clearly sexist. It has the word man in it. I mean, the thought that a young woman would say I'm a freshman, I mean, that alone is candidate for PTSD. But they somehow, remember while college was at Penn State, I don't know. Yeah, that was the one they've abolished. Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. It's now first year, second year, third year, fourth year. Anyway, she's going to be a senior at Harvard and her name is Julie Hartman and she has experienced life in the last couple of years, and last year in particular, in a way that I think all of us can learn a lot about America from her and through her life. So in a nutshell, she had contacted me after reading some of my books. And I don't know, did you also hear the radio, or is also mostly from the reading?

PragerU videos mostly, and then your books.

Okay. And I responded, we met, she lives in Southern California, which makes it much easier, obviously. And would you say, how would you characterize your political views 2 years ago?

I really wasn't very engaged politically, but I would call myself liberal because that was just all I knew.

And it's the default. Default position.

Definitely.

Right. If one doesn't think politically and socially and morally, one is illiberal. That is, that's— it's right, it's the birthright, as it were. And then you saw the videos, read my books, it had a big effect on your thinking, and then I invited you to come on the show. So may I tell the story?

Yes, please do.

So you had second thoughts about appearing on the show. Tell me if I get anything wrong.

Well, just to clarify, you invited me in here to watch your show, and then once I was here—

that's important, good—

then once I was here, you asked me, are you willing to come on?

I really— yes, you know, it's like, do you see that guillotine? Right, okay. So this is really important for you, my listeners, to understand. She had zero expectation of coming on the show. I just invited her to sit in. And then I thought, well, why not tell everybody about the metamorphosis that you have undergone philosophically, intellectually? And that was a very, very difficult question for Julie, because to appear on my show meant that you were, I guess, coming out of the closet. I mean, not just coming out of the closet with a megaphone, with an orchestra and a marching band. And what happened was it because this really is etched in my memory. She said— I said, listen, please know in no way is there pressure for you to come on, and I won't think any less of you or anything. But I know what it means if you appear, a student, Harvard student, on the Dennis Prager Show. I know what that will mean. So you thought about it and then said during a break, may I call my mom? And of course, yes. And I don't know what the conversation was like, but you came back in and said, I'll come on the show. And I witnessed— it's not often in life you witness a transformation transformative moment in a person's life. By the way, it's not common that people have transformative moments. Most people don't. That was. So now I would like you to tell me and my listeners what happened after that.

Well, first of all, that was such a lovely experience, and you were so kind to me. You didn't put pressure on me at all, and I had a lot of fun. And speaking about it, and it felt very cathartic to finally be open about my beliefs. So that day I go home, I tell some of my supportive friends that I appeared on your show, and they were very happy for me. The next morning I wake up, and your show had put a clip of it on YouTube, which of course they're allowed to do. I agreed to appear on the show. It goes, you know, on these various sites. And it started circulating around Harvard, around a lot of the people I go to school with, some people who I went to high school with. And there were many people who were supportive, but boy, did I get slammed. I mean, I had so many people coming at me. And interestingly, a lot of them actually didn't take issue with what I said on the radio, because it was pretty benign. I really just said that that, you know, I was very influenced by PragerU and your radio show and your books. But they took great issue that I was on your show. They thought that by me coming onto this platform, I was supposedly supporting bigotry, white supremacy, you know, all of the typical idiotic Liberal Party lines. And I said to them, well, first of all, I just reject the notion that Dennis Prager is all of those things and that his platform espouses any of those kinds of views. But second of all, I am only responsible for what comes out of my mouth. I'm not responsible for what comes out of Dennis Prager's mouth or what— I am just responsible for my own words. But these people were just very, very vicious. But another thing I want to say, and I hope this gives some encouragement to people who might want to, as you said, come out as conservative themselves. I also had a lot of people in my community reach out to me and say, I would never say this publicly, but I'm really proud of you. And I support you. And I agree with you. But it's just, the cost is too high for me to say that publicly. But I have to say, for about a week or two, I It was so bad for me. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. It was just— I really started tormenting myself because I thought, did I do something wrong? You know, was I wrong to go on the show and say it? And with, you know, now we're about a year after it, I really am so much more comfortable in my conservatism. I realize I did nothing wrong. I am doing exactly what a college kid should be doing, exploring her beliefs, you know, seeking out other opinions. And I've just realized how, how wrong and inappropriate it is for, for them to smear me like that. They have no tolerance for diversity of thought.

I did not know all of that. I had a sense of it. I did not know all of that. I knew you went through the mill. It's sort of coming out of the closet. I'm telling this to all of you because I would say a vast number of you listening are in the closet, fearful of putting on a Facebook page, I mean, just a column that I wrote or Ben Shapiro or Larry Elder. I mean, it's endless. Victor Davis Hanson. And you're afraid to do that, and you're right to be afraid to do that. And there will be a 2-week auto-da-fé, to use a Spanish Inquisition term. You will be burned for 2 weeks. And then, sort of like, what is it that Navy SEALs go through, that crazy horror horrible period to test who, who can— who, who has the, the strength to survive horrible conditions. But then you come out and you are so happy.

That's a great analogy. It's so true.

Yes, it is. It is a good analogy. And that's why I make this appeal. A friend of mine in one of the major orchestras of the country Obviously not necessary to say which, but it's one of the top ones. And, uh, he finally did it. He finally came out of the closet. He is the happiest man I know right now.

Well, you find that it— I found at least that it was causing me more pain to stay silent about my beliefs than it was to be open about them and to be hated.

I want to get that quote. No, no, really, because I think I want to write my next column advocating that people come out of the closet.

It is liberating. It really is liberating.

What did you just say? Do you remember what you just said? Because I want to try to commit it to memory.

Well, luckily it's on the radio, so we can go back. I think what I said was it was causing me more pain that is so, that is so right. It is. It was, it was actually causing me physical pain because I look at so many of these leftists and they are using their freedom to subvert freedom, right?

Hold it there. Julie Hartman, Harvard student, my guest, 1-8-PRAGER-776. Don't you get tired of commercials screaming at you to buy gold now with inflated promises on future values? In an unregulated industry, you need honest, real experts to give you solid advice to protect your wealth and top picks on the best coins and bullion based on real-time data and historical trends. For example, as environmental policy becomes a hot topic, one precious metal that's been significantly undervalued for years is potentially set to surge. Nick Grovich, owner of AMFED Coin and Bullion, has long recommended this precious metal. Up to 600,000 ounces of this rare metal will be needed by 2030 to produce green hydrogen. Nick is doubling down on this pick Nick, and you should too. Call Nick at AmFed Coin and Bullion to find out more. I've been friends with Nick for years, and he's my go-to guy when it comes to coins and bullion. I trust him. He is a good and very knowledgeable man. Call Nick at 800-221-7694. 800-221-7694.

Let me say this. Curtis Leewald is a hero. The more you get to know him, he's an astonishing figure. And we see more and more of them. Mike Lindell is like this. Trump is like this. They come across as goofy, normal people. But they are brilliant. Curtis Liwa knows more about how New York works and what to do and what not to do. He's a genius on that level, and he's been in this world for over 40 years. So I want to say, I hope people will give to his campaign. New York is a bellwether. If New York were to shift, and it would shift dramatically, under Curtis Sliwa. Nobody else comes close to Curtis. I just want to say that. There are other candidates that anybody would be better than de Blasio. De Blasio is the nightmare you never thought could happen. He is not only a maniacal ideologue and a socialist and a nut, but he is also incompetent. So the issue is that anybody would be better, but Curtis Sliwa I really mean this. I believe that he would be in the pantheon of the truly great mayors, a man who gives his life to the job. It's the opposite of the Peter Principle where people just keep rising and rising to their level of incompetence. This is a guy, I think he was born to be the mayor of New York City. This is exactly what the calling is on his life. He's a He's just an extraordinary figure. So folks, Curtis Sliwa for mayor. If you can vote, vote. Tell your friends. He's somebody that I've had the privilege of getting to know.

But why do so many people really hate the Jewish people?

Well, it's a hatred with a long history. Actually, if you read the Bible or the Talmud, there is almost a sense of resignation that this kind of hatred is permanent. And it has to do with the fact that Jewish people live by a different set of laws. And we're not perfect, we're as human as anybody else, but we do have a set of aspirations that is quite stringent. And that means that we are sometimes seen as a people who set themselves apart from others, whether linguistically, culturally, or religiously.

I heard this, I heard this on— I heard exactly that same answer on another show. From a caller this morning.

It's funny you use that justification, but, but, Joe, we're talking about stepping out of the closet and fighting in this country. There's a group that does the Job Creators Network. I love— I don't use the word easily. I love these people at Job Creators Network. They're fighting in particular for small businesses. And all they want you to do is join with them and then become as active as you want. This is not an appeal for money. This is an appeal for membership. Go to joinjcn, jobcreatorsnetwork. Now I had the woman, spokeswoman for them on yesterday. They're magnificent. I, I know the head of it really well. So this is the group that's working hard for the, the small businesses of the country, in your community, your state. If you own a business, you certainly want to join. Go to joinjcn.com and learn more. They're looking for a few good men and women to join the growing army of small business leaders and advocates. Join jcn.com. They need you, and America needs you, and you need them. This is among the most important hours, really, in my opinion, that I've had on my radio show. Young woman here, she's going to be a senior at Harvard, and I witnessed Truly a metamorphosis, a transformative moment, as I called it last segment, when she debated whether to come on my show and knew that she would have hell to pay among her peers. Young people want to be loved by peers. Old people want to be loved by the New York Times. People want to be loved by the wrong people. Everybody likes being loved. It's normal. But if, if you're loved by unimpressive people, there's something unimpressive about you. So she knew, and she didn't know how bad it would be, as it turns out. And I'm learning that now, coming on my show. Would be known at her school, among peers, etc. So you said off the air that they were two of the toughest weeks of your life after you appeared on this show.

Yes.

You want to get her mic on there? It was.

Yes.

Right. Describe it for her in more, in more detail.

Well, I think at that point I really was I was at the beginning of my journey with conservatism. So I found PragerU, I read your books. And I wasn't yet— I have read so much more now. Again, as I said last segment, I'm so much more comfortable in my conservatism. But then I was just kind of at the beginning of it. So I didn't really have the tools to kind of come back at people in the way that I do now. But people were just so unkind. And interestingly, when I saw the YouTube video, a lot of the people commenting on the video were actually really lovely, like a lot of your listeners, which I'm very, very grateful for. You know, they say that people on the internet are so terrible. They actually were really lovely to me. It was the people in my life, interestingly. It was the people who I went to school with or who had I had gone to school with or played on a sports team. It was those people that gave me the toughest time. And I'm a good person. I care. I don't want to hurt other people's feelings. And it was so hard because people were— they weren't just saying that they disagreed with me. They were saying that I was condoning and supporting bigotry. And it started to get to me. And I look back and I go, 'Julie, how did— you know, you should have just blocked out the noise. You knew you were not doing anything wrong.' But, you know, when that— when you have such a crowd of people telling you that you are doing something so wrong, you— I think as any good person would— you just look inside yourself and you go, 'Okay, did I?' But again, it was— it really— I had a friend who said to me, 'Julie, you are doing—' it's what I said last segment, you are doing what a college kid is supposed to be doing. Again, you are seeking out new perspectives. You are learning. You are evolving. You're not just catering to the party line or what you've been taught. You're seeking out different perspectives. And that is what pulled me out of it. Because I thought, you're right. You're totally right.

I'm doing what any college kid is supposed to be doing. Out of curiosity, did you— I'm interested on a personal level and obviously on a larger level. Did you actually confront any of those who attacked you for coming on the show?

Yes, I did.

I did. And did you ask any of them, do you have evidence to support your saying that Dennis Prager is a bigot?

Well, they would point to things like your opposition of gay marriage or your pro-life, you know, And to them, that is very, very bigoted. I happen to see it differently. I think that you have— I may disagree with you on some of those issues, but I think you have very principled stances on them. But they— here's the thing, if you just have a different policy perspective, they're immediately going to brand that as bigoted. They're not even going to listen to what your reasoning for that is. They're just going to dismiss you. And that's what I really learned, because sometimes arguing with with these people, what I've noticed is there are some people who just don't fundamentally understand conservatives. I fell into that camp before I found you. But then there are other people who blindfold themselves. They don't want to understand why conservatives have these arguments. It's not just that they see us as villains, but they need to see us as villains. It's like intrinsic to their worldview. That's why, you know, you often say that leftism is a religion of sorts to these people. It's true, because they confect these mythologies about conservatives. They refuse to see that they can have opinions that are not rooted in bigotry. You know, they see us as the satanic figures, and they see themselves as the messianic figures. It's very bizarre. They will not—they cannot accept that you have certain opinions that are not rooted in bigotry. It's unbelievable. It's really shocking. Yeah, they—

it's so interesting because the left has historically argued that they're nuanced and we're not. I know we're Manichaean and they're not, but it, it's all inverted. They are Manichaean. The world is divided between light and dark, and we're dark. That's why you can't see— there is no left-wing show. If it— if there was a show called We Hate America, I would appear on it. It wouldn't— I would be thrilled to appear on a left-wing show, but they don't want to appear on our shows. Why is that? No, I'm serious. Why is that?

I really think— well, they'll say because, you know, they don't even want to give a voice to bigotry. That's their classic response. But what it really is, is they don't want to debate you. That's right. They know they don't have the ammo to do it.

They don't have the ammo to do it.

And they don't have truth on their side.

Well, it is one joy to have you on our side. Thank you, folks. If you have reactions, 1-800-PRAGER-776, in particular about fear of coming out of the closet.

I want to say that thing about their rage.

Restaurants in Florida have been relatively unscathed for the most part. In New York, it's been a vast wasteland. It's been a disaster. Bubbles in the sidewalk, streets being closed, people out in the winter freezing their butts off trying to eat. What has motivated the political leaders, the mayors, the governor? What, what, what, what do you think is driving this insanity?

You know, Mike, at first I thought it was fear, right? We all behave differently when we're in a fear situation we're not familiar with. And I thought New York was just shocked, right? I thought the leadership was just shocked, right? And cold weather, not being as much outdoors, etc. I got to tell you, I really don't know how to answer that question. I really don't. I cannot understand. We served 40 45,000 customers this summer in New York. Not a single case of COVID got traced back to us. Not a single customer, not a single employee. When I went back to college, I had to get tested, had COVID. That's 45,000 consumer touchpoints. Why weren't there— why wasn't there a conversation about that? Why? Why? Why just shut us down? Right. Why force me to come to Florida? Right. I really have a hard time meditating on that, Mike. Yeah, and I think, I think history will, um, will judge this moment and figure and be able to answer that question a lot easier than you and I.

Well, either that or the writers of the history books are going to scratch their heads and say, what were they doing? What were they thinking? I, I mean, I remember sitting in an enclosed wooden structure out on a street in Manhattan 6 months or so ago, and it was completely enclosed, had heaters going I'm thinking, wait a minute.

Morning, Glory America. Bonjour, hi Canada. Hugh Hewitt inside the Beltway. We have a ceasefire in Israel between it and the terrorist organization Hamas, which kicked in at 2 a.m. Israeli time last night. It will mark the end of 11 days of fighting. It was very tense right up to the moment of the ceasefire entering into effect, but it has held for the first few hours. More than 230 Palestinians, about 170 of whom are terrorists, So 50 civilians, 12 Israeli innocents as well, dead in the fighting. It's a tragedy by the scale of previous Israeli-Hamas wars. It is a smaller death toll, but Hamas has been ravaged.

Who is the guy? What, Mao? All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here. Let's take some calls and continue with Julie Hartman, who's going to be a senior this year at Harvard, describing coming out of the closet as a conservative, which happened on this program, and I saw it in real time. And it's to her credit. And one of the, one of the lessons is the hell she went through, the hell she went through as a result, and then sort of the Garden of Eden after, after the hell. My heart goes out to the tens of millions of you who know that the left is destroying this wonderful, wonderful land and can't say a word about it, or feel that you can't. And in some cases, you would pay much more than the loss of some friendships or being bad-mouthed on social media. You You could lose your job. I'm aware of that. And I don't have the right to tell those of you who would lose your job, lose your job and come out of the closet. I don't feel that I have that right, and I want to make that clear. But short of losing your job, if people stop befriending you, you lucked out. You got bad people out of your life and you didn't even know it. You didn't know the negative humans that were in your life, that if you say I love America, they call you a white supremacist. I mean, these are bad people, my friends. They may— they have nice personalities and they may be fun to be with, but they are bad people. To equate loving this country with evil, to equate loving freedom of speech with loving hate speech. They're morons in addition to bad. Of course free speech includes hate speech, you idiot. That's the whole point of free speech. Jews fought for the right of real Nazis, not make-believe Nazis, real Nazis, to march in Skokie, Illinois in the 1970s. Who— people who denied the Holocaust, people who want the Jews dead again, in a Jewish neighborhood called Skokie, Illinois, outside of Chicago. And Jewish organizations said they have the freedom to do it because in America there's free speech. And now a PragerU video gets taken down. That's thanks to the left. So if you can't say these things because you will lose your job, I am not telling you to lose your job. But if it's anything else, get the hell out of the closet. You'll pay hell like she did, and then, and then you will sleep better.

Is that fair, Julie? Yes, very fair.

Abe in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Dennis Prager, hello. Hi, you mentioned that you tried to go on other left-wing shows. Which shows have you tried to go on?

I did not say that. I said no left-wing show would have me on and I would go on any. You don't try to get on shows in my business. You're invited. They don't invite conservatives like me because they're afraid of us. I used to be on Don Lemon regularly. CNN hasn't invited it being 3 years.

And, uh, how come you have not, uh, recommended Julie not to go to school? I know you, you regularly say that because Julie—

I'll tell you why. She's been inoculated against the poison. That's why she has it. Yes, it doesn't— it didn't brainwash her. I just answered you. It didn't affect her.

Oh, oh, okay. So Apparently it doesn't affect her, but it affects everybody else who wants to go to college.

Yeah, most people, that's correct. They get poisoned and they end up thinking like you do.

Well, how would that be? You don't even know me.

Right, but there's not much to know. The challenges that you offered— Okay, sir, let me ask you, do you think, do you think that America is, is a racist country?

I think the country is based— was created off of racism.

If you don't— if you're not prepared to answer me, then I know— then I know what you think. Is America a racist country? I didn't ask you what it was based on. Is America a racist country?

Is Israel a racist country?

Okay, so I do know you. Okay, there you go. Perfect. Is Israel a racist country? Half of Israel isn't white. 20% of Israel is Arab. Israel is as close to a non-racist country. By the way, it always goes together. And I wouldn't be surprised if Abe were a Jew. There was a very powerful point made about American Jews that I'm going to share with you when we come back. But first, Relief Factor. ReliefFactor.com. By the way, if you do go to their website, you will read testimonials to the effect that it has had on people. They're all true.

And almost everyone I know takes it. Try it for 3 weeks. If it doesn't work in 3 weeks, cancel your order. There's a 3-week special price of $20, and that is at relieffactor.com, 800-500-8384.

This is Albert Mogler for townhall.com. The Supreme Court announced last week that it would hear an abortion case coming from the state of Mississippi. Mississippi. The case is Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The infamous abortion clinic in Jackson, Mississippi is challenging legislation that makes abortion illegal after the 15th week of a woman's term. If the law is upheld, lives would be saved, lots of them. This is big news, but it's not necessarily the case that the court will reverse Roe v. Wade. I often refer to the cumulative case theory of the pro-life movement that comes down to this: pro-life legislation and pro-life lawyers working to erode Roe v. Wade step by step law by law, restriction by restriction, court precedent by court precedent. Make no mistake, this case is huge and the precedent will be massive. The second issue is even more important. The Mississippi law, and thus this particular Supreme Court case, focuses on the life of the unborn child. That's the biggest issue here. We should watch and hope and pray for change from the courts. We also need to hope and work and pray for a change in human hearts.

Curtis Sliwa knows more about how New York works and what to do and what not to do He's a genius on that level, and he's been in this world for, uh, over 40 years.

Hello, my friends. Dennis Prager here. The last caller in Pittsburgh, bless his soul, nice. I love getting calls from folks on the left. I really do. I just want to make that clear. There's no sarcasm in that at all. That's why I go to them first, as you hear. So it was Abe in Pittsburgh, and I asked him if he thought America was racist. Then he told me about America's history. I used the word "is," and he used the word "was," but I don't get tricked by those answers. So I asked it again, and then he said, "Is Israel racist?" And that was, okay, pretty much a giveaway. Generally, people who loathe this country loathe Israel and vice versa. So my assumption is that, I don't know for a fact, I would bet that Abe is Jewish. And there's a brilliant piece in the Epoch Times, which is a great paper, I subscribe to it with my own money, called The Jewish Lobby vs. The Israel Lobby. And, you know, people talk about the Israel lobby a lot and they think It's composed of Jews, the pro-Israel political forces. Overwhelmingly, it's non-Jews, actually. He points this out, this brilliant guy, I never knew of him before, Lawrence Solomon. So the pro-Israel lobby, he said, is overwhelmingly non-Jews, and the anti-Israel lobby is overwhelmingly composed of Jews. That is how sick the leftism has made American Jewry. That a guy could write that and it'd be accurate. And he gives example after example, which I will give to you in another show. But the poison of leftism in Jewish life is beyond corrosive. It is homicidal. But it is homicidal in Christian life too. Okay, let's see here. So I have Julie Hartman, who's a senior at next year— or this— when do you start again? August. She'll be a senior. Strange, strange college years you'll tell your children one day.

I didn't really get to have them.

That's correct, you didn't really get to have them, but you've got something infinitely more worthwhile. It's true. Clarity about life and about yourself. So she came on the show, and that was her coming up out of the closet as a conservative, and went through a very dark period with the attacks afterwards. And then, then from the darkness into the light of being true to yourself. So we're talking about the coming out of the closet. And let's go to some of the calls here. Austin, Texas, Kathy, hello.

Hello, how are you?

I'm well, thank you.

I'm a physician in Texas and I just want to mention that I—

Hold on, wait, wait, can you talk into the phone? I heard you were a physician in Texas, but it was muffled.

Okay, I'm sorry. Um, I'm a physician in Texas. There's a site called texasrighttoknow.com. I was recently at a conference about a week and a half ago with some very top virologists and scientists who have all raised a huge level of concern about the COVID shot, and it's nothing anyone really wants to hear. But I know even Tucker Carlson has raised about over 4,000 deaths being reported to the vaccine adverse event reporting system. There are thousands and thousands of adverse events occurring, and the medical community at large does not want to report on this. They don't want to know. They, they want to keep their head buried in the sand, but I'm very— we're all very, very concerned about the downfall from this coming out later because, I mean, there's research going back.

So, so in keeping with the topic, you have— you've come out publicly with it.

I came out publicly with my patients that ask me how I feel about the vaccine. Have you gotten— I tell them, I tell them what I've recently learned and I've always, I've always had some reservations about it and I've been hearing some things that are kind of right.

So, so forgive me for interrupting you, but have you gotten flak for this?

Not from any medical board at this point in time. From my patients, no. I just think that it's hard for a lot of them to accept, especially if they have had the shots.

Well, of course it would be. All right. I thank you. This is an example of the lack of allowance for thought in this country. The adverse effects, there is a website of adverse effects. It's run by the CDC. Tucker Carlson cited it, and then he was attacked for citing it because the CDC says it's not really precise. So why do they have it? Why does the CDC disown its own site? My position on this is that young people should not be taking it. I say it with some sadness because Julie took it. And my God knows I only wish you well, and I'm sure you'll be fine. Well, not sure you'll be fine, but I hope you'll be fine, and you may well be. It is— people forget it is still in an experimental stage, and by definition, there's been no long-term testing of this. I have never spoken about vaccinations in my entire career. It is not even registered on my radar. But as usual, if you even do what this doctor just did, the left will say you're an anti- anti-vaxxer. See, there is only labels for anyone who differs with them. I don't think— I've never said the global— the world is not getting warmer. I've never said it in my life. I've never said that carbon emissions have nothing to do with it. I have said that it is a gigantic scam, that it is an existential threat to life, that it's one of the greatest lies in history. If there was no truth to this claim that global warming is an existential threat to human life. It is a gigantic fraud, like every single thing that comes from the left, because truth is not a left-wing value. All right, we will continue. Julie is going to be, by the way, regularly appearing on the show in the course of the summer. And I hope she inspires a lot of people to rethink their, their not coming out of the closet, plus just to rethink philosophically. You're, uh, you're a gift to, uh, to America right now. Thank you. It's a big— it's, it's not a compliment, it's a burden.

Hamas took it on the chin. The new Israeli technology, the new Israeli intelligence, the new Israeli missiles have just blasted Hamas into the ground. In the middle of this, a story arrives from Ynet that Iran sent an armed drone into Israel from Iraq or Syria, which is a cause of great concern looking down the road. Secretary of State Blinken is going to visit Israel in the coming days. Egypt gets the lion's share of the credit for getting the parties to agree on the ceasefire time. President Sisi is going to go and continue the mediation. The key story here is what the Israeli Defense Forces said last night. Military intelligence-directed officials said on Thursday that IDF had almost completed its target bank within the Gaza Strip as the current round of fighting with the Palestinian terrorist groups may be nearing its closures. This came out just shortly before the ceasefire.

Israel's enemies hate, number one, women. They're misogynists. Number two, they hate homosexuals. They're utter homophobic. In fact, they like to kill homosexuals. And lastly, they hate atheists. They like to kill atheists. But the left is on their side. How does that work, Joe Pollock?

Well, Israel also loves certain things that the left doesn't like. Israel loves family. Israel loves territory. Israel loves the right to self-defense, the right to bear arms. They don't have the equivalent of the Second Amendment, but you certainly see a lot of people who are armed in Israel, and the country has a very low murder rate. There's very little crime.

I've been— let me— for those who've never been to Israel, I've been like, I don't know how many times, a dozen thousand times. You've never been on holiday or on a business trip unless you've gone to a disco and you've seen somebody—

All right, let's see. Yeah, where's the guy? Oh, I was going to go to a caller who thinks that I spew hate toward the left. And he's right, I do. The left is detestable. I plead guilty. That's correct. If you don't know how bad the left is, you're naive. Might be sweet, kind, wonderful father, mother, brother, sister, friend, great worker. Anything is possible. But if you don't understand how damaging the left is, And has been from Lenin to BLM. You have decided to avoid looking into the darkness, or into the really the bright light of evil. That's it. There's nothing good about the left. It destroys everything it touches. And the latest is the United States of America. Liberals know this, but they won't acknowledge it. So they vote. Look at Minneapolis, a city destroyed, more murders than recorded in half a century, and they will, and they vote for Democrats again. People who defund the police. Defund the police means more dead Blacks. Get it? Get that equation in your, in your minds, oh liberals. Defund police means more dead murdered Blacks. Get it? That's all it means, you fools. God, the staggering number of fools in our society. This I did not know.

It's because wisdom is gone. You want to give it—

what was that?

I said it's because wisdom is gone. No one cares about wisdom anymore.

That's right. That's been my lament my whole life. Anyway, so the guy who called is— anyway, I love when we have— so Francesco, you'll have to call me when, when we have time. I don't want to cut you off in Tampa. You seem to have a one-sided view of the left. I don't know what that means, so I'll have to give you the chance to say it. But yes, I think it's despicable, and anyone who understands it Their attack on free speech alone makes the left despicable. Free speech is the greatest freedom humans have. Okay, I'm with Patrick Henry. Give me liberty or give me death. I don't want to live without free speech. The purpose of life is not to live. The purpose of life is to live well. A question came in from a guy we admire in Texas. I wanted to ask Julie if she thinks she would have had this transformation if she had spent the last year and a half on on the campus at Harvard. It's a good one. We'll do it next time. This is not the first time. Julie Hartman has been my guest. You will hear from her regularly over the course of the next few months. Richie, Menachem, Eyal, Maria, Francesco, Paul, and Bill, I wish I could have taken every one of your calls. By the way, I'm gonna have long-form interviews as a bonus. Talk about— tell you about that in the future at prageropia.com.
