The Most Common Attack on PragerU

The speaker defends PragerU as a free educational platform staffed by scholars like Johns Hopkins professor Marty McCary, rejecting comparisons to Trump University. He argues psychiatry and psychology have been corrupted by leftist ideology, citing a controversial article in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association that describes whiteness as a parasitic condition.

You sent your child to PragerU for, for instead of college, unless they had to learn physics or math, some of the STEM subjects which are also being corrupted, but that's a separate issue. Your child would learn more about life, would be a happier human being, better adjusted, have great and far greater wisdom. With the 500 videos at PragerU and have money left over for a down payment on a house. And have money left over for a down payment on a house. That's exactly right. It's the one of the most common attacks on PragerU, and we're attacked a lot. And one of it is, "Oh, PragerU, that's Prager University, that reminds me of Trump University." See that a lot, right? First of all, Prager University is free. F-R-E-E. It doesn't cost you a penny. So the analogy breaks down immediately. There's no money in it for us if you attack us. Attend, as it were. We are sustained by public donations. So that, number 2, we are teaching you with the finest faculty on Earth. Who was the professor at Johns Hopkins that we just, I just, you and I just edited? Marty McCary. Marty McCary. I mean, he's a professor of epidemiology, surgery, and public health at Johns Hopkins. Do you think that this man would give a course at a place that was less than sterling in its reputation? Would he allow his name to be sullied? They don't, they don't mention to you all the distinguished people, former prime ministers, who have given courses at PragerU. Just for the record. Yes, indeed. Now we had a nurse and I wanted to take her call. But it is what it is, ladies and gentlemen. What is the latest from the American Psychoanalytic Association? Diagnoses whiteness as malignant parasitic-like condition. Well, psychiatry has been poisoned by the left for much of its history. There are some terrific psychiatrists. We have one regularly on the Happiness Hour, Dr. Stephen Marmer. But the, the profession is worse than useless for most people. Do you know that when I find out— this is true for psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts, the three groups of psychotherapists. When I find out that, let's say, a 20-year-old has decided not to speak to his or her parent ever, my first assumption is that the idea was either suggested or affirmed By the psychologist, someone I know extremely well. I can't say more than that. Someone I know extremely well, one of whose children has not spoken to him for a number of years. He has never seen his grandchildren through this child and did not know my views. In fact, as a liberal did not know my views on the issue, said that the family had attended psychotherapeutic sessions together— the estranged, the now estranged son, and this man and his wife. And it was the psychologist in this case who this person holds primarily responsible, aside from the son, for the decision not to talk to them. The harm that this profession has done— this is, this is an example, this is just an example. Just remember, this started when thousands of them, what was it, called Barry Goldwater mentally unfit to be president. Because they were leftists. Something you should know is a lot of this stuff is not new. That the left ruins everything it touches was true in 1955 as much as it is in 2021, but it didn't touch everything as much as it does today. That's the difference. I learned men and women were not— were basically the same. I learned that the United States was a colonialist evil in the world, an imperialist country, in the 1970s. I learned that Israel was the villain in the Middle East in the 1970s. It's simply a matter of quantity. The left controls more and has therefore even gotten more fanatical. This is an amazing thing. No permanent cure, says high-ranking psychoanalyst. From the first words of psychoanalyst Donald Moss's journal article on having whiteness, readers are tipped off that this will not be a normal scholarly article. This is not a traditionally organized psychoanalytic text. No clear path links my argument to that of my predecessors. Moss writes in the April issue of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association: Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has, a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which white people have a particular susceptibility. The Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
