00:02:54.000 Joining us now is Dennis Prager.

00:02:57.000 Dennis, welcome back to the program.

00:03:00.000 Great to see you.

00:03:01.000 Yes, so Dennis, here's a true story.

00:03:03.000 I was wearing a polo shirt the first two hours, and I said, Dennis is coming on the show, and so now I'm wearing a shirt and tie.

00:03:11.000 That's you have no idea the joy that that brings me.

00:03:14.000 Oh, no, no, no, I take that back.

00:03:17.000 The joy is related to the latter part of your report.

00:03:22.000 No, I but I did it no because I was in a rush this morning, and I'll be honest, I didn't want to go through the hassle of putting on the shirt and tie.

00:03:30.000 But, Dennis, can you just, before we have such, we have such deep and heavy things to talk about, talk about the importance of clothing.

00:03:37.000 It is one of my favorite things that you talk about, and you've had a serious impression on my life.

00:03:43.000 Really?

00:03:45.000 All of Western civilization knew this until the 60s.

00:03:50.000 And it's really become worse in the last 10 years.

00:03:55.000 I mean, when I go to work, which I do every day, and I'm in the elevator going to my studio here from where I'm broadcasting, so there are other people going to work and going to other floors.

00:04:09.000 And most of them are young people.

00:04:13.000 There was a guy just today who was wearing slippers, you know, not sandals, even slippers, what he would wear in his bedroom.

00:04:24.000 When you dress up, it has an incredible effect on you.

00:04:31.000 But even if it didn't, the most important is the effect on the society.

00:04:37.000 And to show how deeply society influences religion more than religion influences society, Charlie, I mean, I know you know this because I'm honored by how much you've listened to my broadcasts and videos and all that stuff.

00:04:55.000 The number of Christians who would call my show and tell me that God, literally, these are the words: God doesn't care what I wear to church.

00:05:06.000 I don't know where they got that idea from.

00:05:08.000 Certainly, their parents would not have agreed, nor their grandparents or great-grandparents going back to the beginning of the existence of formal clothing.

00:05:20.000 Well, it's also, I mean, just read the book of Leviticus, right, Dennis?

00:05:23.000 In Leviticus 8, it was all about priestly garments.

00:05:27.000 Yeah, so clearly, why did God care about what the priests wore?

00:05:30.000 That's exactly right.

00:05:32.000 And as both of us point out all the time, people, it's fascinating.

00:05:39.000 People, if they were invited to the Academy Awards, they would wear the best clothing they have or buy better clothing.

00:05:46.000 But to meet God at church, oh, it's fine if I'm in jeans and a t-shirt, or even less formal than that.

00:05:54.000 Or I, you know, I'll just come from the beach here in California.

00:06:00.000 The decline in society, I mean, when I look at 1940s, 1950s films and pictures of how people dressed at a baseball game, I envy them.

00:06:14.000 So, Dennis, let's get right into why we originally wanted to have you on the program.

00:06:19.000 But there's a, I saw the story and I immediately told Andrew, please have Dennis come on the program.

00:06:24.000 Where, if I understand correctly, the Google Play Store has censored Prager U because of a documentary that you published.

00:06:33.000 Please help me understand.

00:06:34.000 Yeah, so we put out a number of documentaries.

00:06:37.000 The latest is Dear Infidels, and it is about Islamic extremism, one of the worst forces on earth in terms of moral decency. 1.00

00:06:51.000 It is a frighteningly bad movement of the beheading of innocents, the raping of women, the wiping out of whatever infidel group they want to wipe out, beginning with the Jews. 1.00

00:07:07.000 And that's what it is about. 0.97

00:07:09.000 It is not hysterical and it is not about all Muslims and clear, but it is about Islamism, which is not the same as Islam and the radical Muslims who constitute Islamism. 0.61

00:07:26.000 And Google announced out of nowhere, it's hate speech.

00:07:30.000 So the Prager U app is no longer going to function.

00:07:36.000 And that means no Android device could use the Prager U app.

00:07:41.000 It disappeared from the face of the earth.

00:07:44.000 The outcry was really remarkable.

00:07:48.000 I'm very grateful to all the media that did engage in an outcry because this is exactly vindicates what you know and I know and so many people know.

00:08:01.000 Google's interest in truth is zero because it's a left-wing organization.

00:08:05.000 Yes.

00:08:07.000 It is definitional to the left to suppress dissent.

00:08:11.000 There is no example since Vladimir Lenin of the left allowing dissent, whether it is at Columbia University or the Politburo in Moscow or Google today, or your university today.

00:08:28.000 And so the outcry was quite something.

00:08:31.000 And within a day, they said it was a mistake.

00:08:35.000 That's a lie.

00:08:38.000 It's a total lie.

00:08:39.000 And I give a great analogy, Charlie.

00:08:43.000 Whenever people who cheat in business vindicate what they did, they go, oh, it was a mistake.

00:08:51.000 So I always have a question for these people.

00:08:54.000 Did you ever in your life make a financial mistake that hurt you, or do all your financial mistakes hurt the next guy?

00:09:03.000 That's right.

00:09:04.000 And by the way, it's not a mistake in any sense.

00:09:09.000 They're just upset they got caught.

00:09:11.000 Let's be very clear.

00:09:12.000 That's right.

00:09:14.000 And they got caught.

00:09:15.000 What did they get caught doing?

00:09:17.000 Because obviously they did it.

00:09:18.000 Everyone knows they did it.

00:09:20.000 They announced it.

00:09:21.000 They got caught as the suppressors of dissent that they are.

00:09:28.000 That's correct, because it is incompatible for the left to allow freedom of speech.

00:09:34.000 Dennis, you've been ahead of the curve on Google.

00:09:37.000 You tried to warn us about Google and you sued Google years ago.

00:09:41.000 That's right.

00:09:42.000 Yeah.

00:09:43.000 Charlie, if I if I take, I don't drink, but I would have to take drink.

00:09:50.000 But if I ever wanted, I'll give you a list of ahead of the curve things in my life.

00:10:00.000 How long ago I told people it will end West civilization as we know it.

00:10:07.000 I have listened to every single fireside chat.

00:10:09.000 And Dennis, I want to give you a compliment.

00:10:12.000 And I take this the right way, and I hope Julie does.

00:10:15.000 I did not expect to like Dennis and Julie, but I think it's terrific.

00:10:21.000 I really think it's excellent.

00:10:22.000 And I only didn't expect to like it because I wasn't sure at first about the generational gap, but she challenges you.

00:10:32.000 It is really, really great.

00:10:34.000 I'm very touched, Charlie.

00:10:37.000 It means the world to me that you take my work so seriously because you're so important.

00:10:43.000 And I'm not, no reason to say that if I don't, you know, I know it.

00:10:48.000 I know it.

00:10:49.000 I don't just believe it.

00:10:52.000 I would say this: I have never co-hosted anything in my 40 years of radio.

00:10:58.000 It's not my style.

00:11:00.000 I'm my own man.

00:11:02.000 I do my thing.

00:11:04.000 And then I met this woman 50 years younger than me.

00:11:09.000 And among the other fascinating aspects of Dennis and Julie, aside from my first co-host, side that she's female, I'm male, and 50 years different, is that the age difference disappeared.

00:11:25.000 And it is such an ode to what it means.

00:11:30.000 What does age mean?

00:11:33.000 If you have a wise young person and a vibrant old person, it doesn't mean a damn thing.

00:11:41.000 But it's a living example of that.

00:11:44.000 But that's not even why we do it.

00:11:47.000 Just happens to be that we have this remarkable age difference.

00:11:51.000 We do it because I have found in her, Charlie, someone that I never thought I would find who so resonates to my values and so incorporates them so readily into her fine mind and fine heart.

00:12:13.000 You have no idea the peace that she has afforded me.

00:12:18.000 So you have every reason to be suspicious about whether you would like it.

00:12:25.000 And I hope everybody watching or listening to us right now will go to Dennis and Julie, the podcast.

00:12:35.000 It's on all the podcast networks.

00:12:38.000 It's excellent, Dennis.

00:12:39.000 And I'll call you off air and tell you all the fee.

00:12:42.000 I don't want to spend all of our time on it, but she challenges you.

00:12:45.000 It's not just agreement.

00:12:46.000 That's what I think is excellent.

00:12:47.000 It's an uninterrupted dialogue.

00:12:50.000 And it really is interesting.

00:12:52.000 It's a different dimension that I don't get.

00:12:56.000 Again, I've listened to, I'd say, five to 600 hours of your stuff.

00:13:00.000 And that's not an exaggeration.

00:13:03.000 No, I mean, I mean that.

00:13:04.000 And it's a different dimension.

00:13:06.000 It's almost the Socratic method at work.

00:13:10.000 What we do is we explore life.

00:13:13.000 But I want to just resonate one second with regard to your last point.

00:13:19.000 I'm very, very open on my radio show and in my speeches.

00:13:24.000 That's just my nature.

00:13:26.000 As one caller put it, Dennis, you're transparent.

00:13:30.000 And yet, there is no doubt there's an aspect of me that comes out in Dennis and Julie that doesn't come out when I'm alone.

00:13:39.000 That is exactly right.

00:13:40.000 That is well said.

00:13:41.000 Why do you think that is, Dennis?

00:13:44.000 Well, it's not easily answered.

00:13:48.000 Maybe because for all of us, another human being brings out parts of us that would not otherwise come out.

00:13:58.000 And that's, you know, wives and husbands do that.

00:14:02.000 Good friends do that.

00:14:05.000 And that's the best answer I could give.

00:14:11.000 You're forced, it sort of forces you to express parts of you that just don't naturally come out if you're talking alone, which is what you do and what I do when we give speeches or when we broadcast our shows.

00:14:28.000 It's just us.

00:14:30.000 And you're open and I'm open and you're real and I'm real.

00:14:35.000 And yet I have discovered that she brings out parts of me because it's like she's representing all the listeners in posing the next question or making the next point.

00:14:52.000 It's a phenomenon, this Dennis and Julie thing.

00:14:56.000 I can't tell you how grateful I am for your mention.

00:14:59.000 And I thoroughly enjoy it.

00:15:01.000 Dennis.

00:15:04.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:15:06.000 A movement to change how we elect our president is growing, led by radical left-wing activists who don't think their side should ever have to lose the presidency again.

00:15:15.000 It seeks to do away with the Electoral College as devised by the framers of our Constitution.

00:15:20.000 Today, 18 states have signed on to overhaul how presidents are elected.

00:15:25.000 That's why my friends at Hillsdale College are conducting a national survey on presidential selection.

00:15:30.000 Hearing directly from informed patriots like you is critical.

00:15:33.000 So please take their national survey on presidential selection today at charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:15:39.000 I'm a huge fan of Hillsdale College.

00:15:40.000 Their students are at the top and they're receiving the best educational available today.

00:15:44.000 It's America's greatest college, period.

00:15:46.000 Hillsdale's educational outreach program on behalf of Liberty are just tremendous.

00:15:50.000 I've taken so many of their online courses.

00:15:52.000 I plan to complete them all.

00:15:53.000 Now you can help Hillsdale understand the views of mainstream Americans on the critical issue of presidential selection, which will help Hillsdale and its future work defending liberty.

00:16:02.000 Visit charlieforhillsdale.com to start your national survey on presidential selection, charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:16:11.000 I wrote this down in my journal, and I journal a lot when I listen to you.

00:16:15.000 You used a word that I rarely have ever heard you say, ever, when describing the Trump conviction.

00:16:24.000 You said this is scary.

00:16:29.000 I don't think I've ever, you don't get scared easily.

00:16:32.000 You were not scared with COVID, not scared against climate change.

00:16:36.000 You're not scared about the world ending from nuclear war, but you said this is scary.

00:16:42.000 Dennis, what do you mean by that?

00:16:44.000 Well, it goes back to my lifelong immersion in studying the left.

00:16:51.000 I did graduate work, I'm embarrassed to say, at Columbia University.

00:16:55.000 I was at the Russian Institute studying communism under Zbiga Brzezinski, Mika Brzezinski's father, and he was the national security man for Jimmy Carter.

00:17:09.000 And he had lived under communism in Poland.

00:17:11.000 Anyway, it's a lifelong immersion.

00:17:14.000 That's why I studied Russian to read the Soviet communist newspaper Pravda.

00:17:20.000 And so I knew about all the show trials that Stalin had created, where you put your political opponents on trial in order to destroy them.

00:17:32.000 But you have the show as if it was a legit trial.

00:17:38.000 You have judges, you have attorneys, you have all the trappings of justice, but it's not.

00:17:46.000 And that's what you had here when the New York Times, which is in many ways our problem, when you have the New York Times write a jury of his peers and defend the verdict, and I think about jury of the peers.

00:18:09.000 Let's say you were a white and you were accused of killing a black in Jim Crow South in the 1920s, and you had an all-white jury.

00:18:21.000 What were the odds of your being found guilty?

00:18:23.000 Zero.

00:18:24.000 What were the odds of Donald Trump being found not guilty?

00:18:29.000 Zero.

00:18:30.000 The lie, again, part of the show, as in show trial, that he was convicted on 34 counts.

00:18:39.000 It was 34 repetitions of the exact same act of paying his lawyer.

00:18:46.000 That's all it was.

00:18:48.000 As I said on my show, had he paid him a dollar a day for 365 days, he would have been found guilty on 365 counts.

00:18:57.000 But nobody knows that because they either read the New York Times or listen to NPR.

00:19:02.000 So they're participating in the show trial, in the reporting that they listen to.

00:19:10.000 So it's scary because we never, the thought never dawned on me.

00:19:18.000 We would arrest and try a leader of the opposition, a former president.

00:19:25.000 I wasn't even for the impeachment of Bill, and he lied under oath while president of the United States.

00:19:34.000 But I knew, you know, there are larger issues involved in these cases, like the health of your republic, of your free country.

00:19:44.000 But they want to tear down this free country because they're left.

00:19:49.000 So it, yes, it is scary.

00:19:51.000 And you're right.

00:19:52.000 I very rarely get scared.

00:19:54.000 I didn't take the vaccine and I didn't wear masks and I didn't block down in any shape, way, shape, or form.

00:20:05.000 And that's just one example.

00:20:08.000 I don't get scared easily.

00:20:10.000 This is a reason to be scared.

00:20:12.000 What are you most afraid of in this regard?

00:20:16.000 That we are, we are, well, what was it, Bork's book, Slouching Toward Sodom, Sodom and Gomorrah, however, he titled it.

00:20:29.000 We're slouching toward a leftist dictatorship.

00:20:35.000 The censoring, which we talked about earlier, the constant censoring, the communist youth groups that are out there, which also remind me of the Hitler youth. 0.61

00:20:50.000 I'm sorry to say it.

00:20:51.000 I hate saying it.

00:20:54.000 By the way, you're exactly right.

00:20:55.000 I hate it because it feels like it's cheap, but it's exactly right.

00:20:59.000 Yes.

00:21:00.000 Well, it is exactly right.

00:21:02.000 That too is scary.

00:21:04.000 The thing that's scary is not that we have X number of young people who are despicable who support pure evil and can't recognize good and evil.

00:21:20.000 That's bad enough.

00:21:21.000 It's the institutions.

00:21:23.000 That's what's scared.

00:21:25.000 The question that I have posed to my listeners since the takeovers of campuses have, what is it?

00:21:34.000 The camp?

00:21:34.000 What is the term?

00:21:35.000 The encampment?

00:21:36.000 The encampments?

00:21:37.000 Yeah.

00:21:38.000 I have one question.

00:21:40.000 Let us say right-wing students who are pro-life had a pro-life encampment and took over the campus.

00:21:49.000 What would the reaction of every college president?

00:21:55.000 Would they allow it for months?

00:21:57.000 No, not only that, they would be drummed up on federal charges similar to the January 6th folks.

00:22:03.000 That's right.

00:22:05.000 So it's worth noting.

00:22:08.000 Anything, look, my last, you sent me a text.

00:22:12.000 I was very done.

00:22:14.000 So a week ago, my column, my column comes out every Tuesday.

00:22:19.000 It was with regard to the latest thing that the left has destroyed.

00:22:24.000 And I listed 25 major institutions of society that the left has destroyed.

00:22:33.000 And this is an obvious example of one of them: what has happened to free speech and what has happened specifically to the university.

00:22:45.000 And what is really here's an interesting sidebar, Charlie.

00:22:51.000 I've asked, Julie went to Harvard, because you mentioned Dennis and Julie.

00:22:56.000 So Julie went to Harvard, graduated two years ago.

00:23:00.000 And I've asked her, I said, I'm just curious, does the cachet Harvard still resonate like it has for all of my lifetime and the lifetime of my parents?

00:23:12.000 And she said, no.

00:23:13.000 And she said, I worked so hard to get it to Harvard.

00:23:17.000 And now saying I went to Harvard means nothing to most Americans.

00:23:22.000 Nothing.

00:23:23.000 It actually means negative.

00:23:25.000 For me.

00:23:26.000 That's correct.

00:23:28.000 Yeah, you should amplify that point because I totally agree with you. 1.00

00:23:32.000 If you graduated from Harvard, my only question is: are you a fool or not a fool? 1.00

00:23:39.000 And chances are you're a fool. 1.00

00:23:41.000 So, Dennis, this goes to a theme that I want to hit with you, and it's going to require a little bit of reflection, which is I've noticed a pattern with your commentary and your writing in the last couple of years where it is lamenting the takeover of the institutions and how the left has taken over everything. 0.99

00:23:59.000 Now, that's not necessarily new, but Dennis, when now I look at experts say, I immediately think that they're lying to us.

00:24:08.000 And I know you agree, but Dennis, is that a new thing?

00:24:12.000 Because would you have 10 years ago, would you have said that you are distrustful of the CDC, the American Medical Association, the American Association of Pediatrics, the FDA?

00:24:25.000 I, the FBI, our system of justice as well.

00:24:30.000 Dennis, is that a new opinion that you formed in recent years?

00:24:35.000 That's right.

00:24:35.000 It's new and it's painful.

00:24:38.000 In this regard, the COVID lockdown experience.

00:24:42.000 See, there's nothing about teachers' unions that surprises me.

00:24:47.000 They are vile organizations. 0.97

00:24:49.000 They're despicable. 0.99

00:24:52.000 They hurt children and they hurt society.

00:24:54.000 There is nothing good about teachers' unions, only bad.

00:24:59.000 So that's not a shock.

00:25:01.000 But you went through the list, NIH, CDC, and FBI.

00:25:08.000 I mean, I grew up, you know, the FBI.

00:25:11.000 If you said you were an FBI agent, it was like telling me you were Mickey Man.

00:25:15.000 Those of your young listeners who don't know is a legendary baseball player.

00:25:21.000 And so to watch everything that one venerated turn into bad, it's an interesting thing.

00:25:34.000 Here's a good example of a Dennis and Julie topic.

00:25:36.000 So I've asked Julie, who do you think it's worse for?

00:25:40.000 Me or you?

00:25:42.000 You not having experienced the beautiful and free and vibrant and happy America that I did, or me who did experience it and watching it being taken down?

00:25:53.000 It's far worse for you, and it's not even close.

00:25:57.000 Well, yeah, because I could ask you that too.

00:25:59.000 I mean, you're not that much older than Julie.

00:26:01.000 So it isn't.

00:26:04.000 You were on the cusp.

00:26:05.000 You have consciousness of America.

00:26:07.000 I'm on that weird bridge, Dennis, being 30.

00:26:10.000 I remember an America that was free and somewhat sane.

00:26:14.000 So being 30, when I was seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12 years old, this was a great country, a great country 18 years ago.

00:26:23.000 It was.

00:26:24.000 Do you know I grew up in New York, and I remember I was 25 years old when I was brought to speak in California.

00:26:31.000 I've been speaking publicly since I was 21.

00:26:34.000 A very, as you know, strange and wonderful life.

00:26:38.000 So I remember the first time, I remember it like yesterday.

00:26:42.000 I was at Kennedy Airport and I'm at the American Airlines terminal and I see Los Angeles flight, I don't know, whatever it was.

00:26:51.000 I'm telling you, the excitement of going to California for the first time, it was so, it was like almost maybe, you know, my wedding day was as exciting or the birth of my children.

00:27:08.000 I'm not, and I never exaggerate, as you know, or I try never to exaggerate, certainly.

00:27:13.000 That's how excited I was to be going to California.

00:27:17.000 And now California is for half of the United States, a despicable state.

00:27:26.000 I mean, they passed the minimum wage and tens of thousands of workers have no more jobs.

00:27:32.000 They immediately fired 1,200 pizza delivery men because they couldn't afford the new wages.

00:27:40.000 It's a sanctuary state.

00:27:42.000 If you run away from your parents because they don't believe you became the other sex, you can be kept in California. 0.96

00:27:49.000 What the left has done to this, a place that was synonymous with freedom and joy is now somber, joyless, and totalitarian in so many ways.

00:28:04.000 So it's, I don't know.

00:28:08.000 Again, you're convinced it's worse for me.

00:28:15.000 And I don't know.

00:28:18.000 I'm a big believer in memory and gratitude.

00:28:22.000 Remembering America as this such sweet place, basically.

00:28:31.000 Of course, there are bad people in America.

00:28:33.000 I mean, you know, my view on human nature, the biblical view, will of man's heart is towards evil from his youth.

00:28:41.000 That's Genesis 8.

00:28:42.000 Just tell the Pope that.

00:28:44.000 I did.

00:28:46.000 I don't know if he heard me, but I did as soon as I heard him say it.

00:28:50.000 By the way, that is a giveaway. 1.00

00:28:52.000 If you walk around saying people are basically good, you're a fool. 1.00

00:28:55.000 I know you're not wise. 1.00

00:28:57.000 You may be sweet and kind and a wonderful parent and friend, but you're not wise. 0.98

00:29:03.000 You can't build wisdom on nonsense. 0.54

00:29:07.000 That's exactly right.

00:29:12.000 All right.

00:29:12.000 I need to tell you guys about Strong Cell.

00:29:14.000 It's amazing.

00:29:15.000 With nearly a million units bought by you, it is more clear than ever that Strong Cell works.

00:29:22.000 It works to combat fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and constant sickness.

00:29:27.000 I've been taking it personally for over a year now, and it's changed my life.

00:29:30.000 I take it in the morning with breakfast, and it helps me with natural energy so I don't have that afternoon crash.

00:29:35.000 And it gives me the clarity of mind to do all that I do every day, which is a lot.

00:29:39.000 If you're tired of feeling tired, struggling with memory, or constantly getting sick, then you have to give Strong Cell a try.

00:29:46.000 I love this product because it has NAD.

00:29:48.000 By the way, fact-check me on this.

00:29:50.000 Go do your own research on NADH, especially if it's mixed with CoQ10 and marine collagen.

00:29:55.000 Strong Cell uses a proprietary delivery of NADH to make sure it goes straight to your cells to help your mitochondria.

00:30:03.000 And since there are cells in every area of your body, then healthier cells equals a healthier you.

00:30:09.000 The amount of people that use Strong Cell now, thanks to us, is remarkable.

00:30:12.000 Over 1 million units sold.

00:30:14.000 Don't take my word for it.

00:30:15.000 Do your own research.

00:30:16.000 Check it out.

00:30:17.000 Fact check me.

00:30:18.000 Oh, Charlie's just selling me a product.

00:30:20.000 Okay.

00:30:20.000 Maybe you don't want more mental acuity.

00:30:22.000 People say, Charlie, how do you do what you do?

00:30:24.000 Maybe it's the NAD that I take.

00:30:26.000 It's changed the lives of many Kirk listeners.

00:31:05.000 So, Dennis, I want to just emphasize the institutional takeover, which this Trump conviction has now, it's another institution that I'm afraid I inherently distrust.

00:31:19.000 I want to say it's completely captured because there's still some terrific judges and lawyers.

00:31:23.000 But Dennis, the country of 20 years ago would not have put up with this.

00:31:28.000 It would not have put up with this.

00:31:32.000 Is it a Trump-specific phenomenon, Dennis?

00:31:35.000 That's what I want to get your opinion on.

00:31:37.000 Is this a Trump derangement syndrome thing, or is this a canary in the coal mine of a cancer taking over the American legal system?

00:31:46.000 It is both.

00:31:48.000 It is both.

00:31:50.000 And by the way, for his four years in office, I did not once, every show I've done is report.

00:31:58.000 I did not once utilize the term Trump derangement syndrome.

00:32:02.000 I thought it was a bit over top.

00:32:04.000 I agree.

00:32:05.000 I never liked it.

00:32:06.000 I thought it was silly, but it's unbelievably accurate.

00:32:10.000 But it is unbelievably accurate. 0.84

00:32:13.000 Sober-minded people have lost their minds.

00:32:18.000 What else can one say?

00:32:20.000 I mean, when people tell me, what was the name of the Planet Hollywood?

00:32:26.000 What was the name of his?

00:32:27.000 Billy Bush, the Billy Bush Access Hollywood tape.

00:32:30.000 Access Hollywood, yeah.

00:32:33.000 So that's an example of derangement syndrome, whether it's Trump or anybody else.

00:32:40.000 You're going to judge human beings by what they say when they're speaking to one other human being in private?

00:32:54.000 Isn't letting off steam one of the reasons for friendship and marriage?

00:33:00.000 As I have often noted when I'm driving, because I have a deep hostility to people who drive slowly in the left lane.

00:33:08.000 Oh, no, no, no, no, in the express lane.

00:33:10.000 That's where you don't understand.

00:33:12.000 Yes, express lane, you know, a high occupancy vehicle, whatever term you want to use.

00:33:18.000 But the left lane is for passing, okay?

00:33:20.000 Hello, everybody.

00:33:22.000 That's the point of it.

00:33:23.000 Not to go at the speed limit or let alone under.

00:33:28.000 So my only point is, with my wife present, whatever group you are with, I curse you and your group at. 0.98

00:33:38.000 If you're old, I curse old people. 1.00

00:33:40.000 If you're white, I curse white people. 1.00

00:33:42.000 If you're black, I curse black people. 1.00

00:33:44.000 If you're a nun, I curse nuns. 1.00

00:33:47.000 It's hilarious. 0.99

00:33:49.000 Now, if you recorded that and then played it for the country, I would sound obviously like a crackpot bigot.

00:33:59.000 But all I'm doing is letting off steam with my wife, which is what companions are for.

00:34:06.000 You're going to judge men on sex talk that they have had with other men, not ever believing any other human being heard it?

00:34:15.000 And I say this as a religious person, as you know, how deeply religious I am.

00:34:22.000 This is not the way it works.

00:34:25.000 What you say in private is not the way to judge a human being.

00:34:31.000 I'm sorry.

00:34:34.000 There may be religious people who differ with me.

00:34:36.000 Indeed, there are secular people who differ with me.

00:34:38.000 It's what you say in public.

00:34:40.000 Yes, it's your publicly stated beliefs and your actions, those two things.

00:34:45.000 And look, they said Nixon was anti-Semitic because of private talks that he had, but he's real president.

00:34:52.000 I mean, other than that, and he appointed the first Jewish secretary of state.

00:35:00.000 So what do I care if Nixon personally said anti-Jewish things privately?

00:35:06.000 I'm a committed Jew.

00:35:07.000 I've said anti-Jewish things privately.

00:35:10.000 That requires maturity and wisdom of which the West significantly lacks.

00:35:14.000 All right, Dennis, I'm going to just change topics here briefly.

00:35:16.000 There's two more big things I want to cover with you.

00:35:19.000 The first of which, I did a whole show on baby boomers, and I received so much hate mail.

00:35:25.000 Dennis, what do you think of the baby boomer generation?

00:35:29.000 I'm a member of it.

00:35:30.000 We are, my generation Is the mother of all of the horrible stuff that you're seeing?

00:35:41.000 The 60s generation is the baby boomer generation.

00:35:47.000 But here is, I don't know why you got flack for it, but I said that.

00:35:54.000 I said, baby boomers have not done a good job of passing down American values because their parents didn't do a good job of passing down American values to them because they wanted their kids to have a nice and comfortable life. 0.97

00:36:04.000 And baby boomers have had, they lived through a Pax Americana time and their children have not. 0.95

00:36:11.000 And there's a fair amount of anger when you even remotely try to blame baby boomers as a generation for not doing a great job.

00:36:21.000 I know you know, I have said this so often.

00:36:25.000 The people who began the bad child rearing were the parents who constituted what is called the greatest generation, the World War II and Depression generation. 0.80

00:36:42.000 That was my parents' generation, not my parents. 0.98

00:36:45.000 They raised me with terrific values.

00:36:48.000 But that generation did exactly what you described. 0.97

00:36:52.000 And that is their whole thing was: I don't want my children, I will give my children, this was their motto, I will give my children, that is the baby boomers, everything I didn't have. 1.00

00:37:05.000 And I mentioned earlier, I began lecturing at the age of 21.

00:37:09.000 By the age of 25, I was telling audiences that, and that was the generation of my parents mostly in the audience.

00:37:18.000 And I was saying to them, Yeah, you gave us everything you didn't have.

00:37:21.000 The big problem is you didn't give us everything you did have, namely love of country and good religious bases.

00:37:31.000 And so we are paying the price today.

00:37:36.000 The decline in our civilization is frightening.

00:37:40.000 Dennis, I completely agree.

00:37:43.000 And it is a little tough sometimes to say that, but it's necessary.

00:37:48.000 The next topic I want to talk to you, Dennis, is a recent poll.

00:37:51.000 This recent poll shows that despite all the events that a majority, 61% of American Jews are still planning to vote for Joe Biden and be on the left.

00:38:01.000 Why is that?

00:38:02.000 Well, a big chunk of the answer, and I just want your listeners and viewers to understand: I am not only a Jew, I am a committed Jew.

00:38:13.000 I have co-written the most widely read in English introduction to Judaism.

00:38:20.000 I am on volume five of my five-volume commentary on the Torah, the first five-book Bible, old brat Bible.

00:38:29.000 And I founded a synagogue.

00:38:31.000 I have founded a Jewish day school.

00:38:33.000 So I'm a Jewish Jew.

00:38:37.000 As opposed to, by the way, this is not my term, George Soros, who is a non-Jewish, which leads me to the point I want to make. 0.96

00:38:46.000 Jews who believe in Judaism, who believe in the Torah, they're not voting for Biden.

00:38:52.000 This is not an opinion.

00:38:54.000 Orthodox Jews are not voting for Biden.

00:38:57.000 Orthodox Jews vote the way most evangelicals vote because they share almost every value.

00:39:04.000 They don't share theology.

00:39:05.000 That's beside the point, or at least for me, but they share value.

00:39:12.000 There's another thing that people need to understand that I point out.

00:39:17.000 When a Christian leaves Christianity, he's still called a Christian. 0.97

00:39:21.000 He's still, he's never, excuse me, he's never called a Christian.

00:39:24.000 When a Jew leaves Judaism, he's still called a Jew. 0.82

00:39:28.000 That's right.

00:39:28.000 That's a very important thing.

00:39:30.000 When people say, how come Jews are on the left?

00:39:32.000 Might as well say, why are so many Christians on the left? 1.00

00:39:36.000 Oh, but they're not Christian. 0.97

00:39:37.000 Oh, so you get to say they're not Christian, but I don't get to say you don't get to dismiss them from the tribe, for lack of a better term.

00:39:48.000 That's exactly right.

00:39:50.000 One final explanation.

00:39:52.000 Jews were raised as fast every liberal was raised, Jew or non-Jew, with the belief that the great threat to Jews and to civilization comes from the right because they were told Hitler is on the right. 0.90

00:40:10.000 And they have never left that brainwash that the right is the villain when the left was the mass destruction, genocidal, torturing, enslaving ideology of the 20th century with the one exception of the Nazi.

00:40:28.000 I mean, it's the left's the greatest single and one of the only successes of the left because they never succeed in building a society.

00:40:40.000 But one of their greatest successes is brainwashing vast numbers of people into believing that the threat to liberty and goodness comes from the right.

00:40:53.000 Is it possible to change that, Dennis?

00:40:56.000 If a population calls themselves Jewish, but they're not religious, then what you're saying, it's not even a fair poll.

00:41:02.000 It's not even, you can't even possibly move those numbers because they're leftist first and Jewish second. 1.00

00:41:08.000 Is that what you're saying?

00:41:09.000 100%.

00:41:10.000 That's right.

00:41:11.000 By the way, many of them would acknowledge that.

00:41:16.000 You know, the liberal Jew is ambivalent, but the left-wing Jew would certainly say, I'm leftist before.

00:41:24.000 If you ask Soros, you get your values from Judaism or from leftism, he'd laugh in your face.

00:41:31.000 He has as much to do with Judaism as my dog, as Calvin.

00:41:37.000 See?

00:41:37.000 And he would agree.

00:41:38.000 It's not even an insult.

00:41:41.000 That's right.

00:41:42.000 Dennis, final question.

00:41:43.000 When does Numbers come out?

00:41:45.000 Numbers is coming out before Christmas.

00:41:48.000 That's the fourth book of my book.

00:41:50.000 Yes, it is amazing.

00:41:52.000 Only Leviticus is left.

00:41:55.000 So, Dennis, I have to interrupt.

00:41:56.000 I want to do a long form interview with you when Numbers comes out.

00:42:00.000 A couple hours, because you know I know your stuff on this.

00:42:04.000 It is life-changing.

00:42:06.000 Good.

00:42:06.000 That you said that is the best possible ad.

00:42:10.000 I beg people to read it.

00:42:13.000 Nobody writes a Bible commentary, get rich.

00:42:16.000 I write it to touch lives.

00:42:18.000 It's called the Rational Bible.

00:42:20.000 Thank you.

00:42:21.000 You're a joy, my friend.

00:42:22.000 Thank you, Dennis.

00:42:23.000 God bless you.

00:42:23.000 I should have said, when is In the Wilderness coming out?

00:42:26.000 That's what I should have asked.

00:42:27.000 God, you know your stuff.

00:42:30.000 Dennis, God bless you.

00:42:31.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
