So, even 10 00:01:28,540 --> 00:01:33,340 Speaker 5: though we face the difficulties of to day and tomorrow, 11 00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:39,700 Speaker 5: I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply 12 00:01:39,780 --> 00:01:45,700 Speaker 5: rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that 13 00:01:45,820 --> 00:01:52,700 Speaker 5: one day this nation will rise up, live out the 14 00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:54,020 Speaker 5: true meaning of its creed. 15 00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:57,900 Speaker 3: We hold these choos to be self. 16 00:01:57,620 --> 00:02:13,779 Speaker 4: Evident, that all men are created. A dream that one day, 17 00:02:13,820 --> 00:02:19,419 Speaker 4: on the Red Hills for Jordan, Suns of farmer slaves and. 18 00:02:19,419 --> 00:02:23,100 Speaker 5: The Suns are farmer playbo, we may be. 19 00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:24,380 Speaker 3: Able to sit. 20 00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:27,419 Speaker 5: Down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a 21 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,700 Speaker 5: dream my our little. 22 00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:35,300 Speaker 3: Children, one of the America wed They will. 23 00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:38,020 Speaker 4: Not be judged by the color of that skin, but by. 24 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:39,380 Speaker 3: The content of that character. 25 00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:40,620 Speaker 6: I have a dream. 26 00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:48,740 Speaker 7: Today's welcome to the Dennis Prager Show, and this is 27 00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:52,700 Speaker 7: Martin Luther King Day. As you know, it is my 28 00:02:53,220 --> 00:02:56,900 Speaker 7: policy to honor the national holidays, otherwise they shouldn't be 29 00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:00,060 Speaker 7: a national holiday. I affirm that this ought to be 30 00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:03,660 Speaker 7: a national holiday. I believe, I have believed my whole 31 00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:08,100 Speaker 7: life that Martin Luther King Junior, among other things, prevented 32 00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:13,660 Speaker 7: racial violence in this country. For that alone, he has 33 00:03:13,740 --> 00:03:18,700 Speaker 7: a very special place in heaven, and I don't think 34 00:03:19,180 --> 00:03:21,940 Speaker 7: that there is a a way to. 35 00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:24,100 Speaker 3: Deny that. 36 00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:30,340 Speaker 7: And he was an orator of the first order. I 37 00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:33,980 Speaker 7: mean truly one of the great orators. I wish we 38 00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:36,900 Speaker 7: had recordings of all the great orders in history and 39 00:03:36,980 --> 00:03:41,380 Speaker 7: certainly in American history. But obviously recording is a relatively 40 00:03:41,420 --> 00:03:47,500 Speaker 7: brand new mechanical device. But happily we have that speech 41 00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:52,620 Speaker 7: and so many others. You read them, they last, that's 42 00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:57,340 Speaker 7: the greatness of them. They last. And it's very interesting, 43 00:03:57,460 --> 00:04:01,100 Speaker 7: though not always emphasized, how rooted he was in his 44 00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:06,940 Speaker 7: Americanism and in his Christianity. It's now everybody's doctor King, 45 00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:10,220 Speaker 7: doctor King, doctor King, doctor King, right, It's only is 46 00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:13,100 Speaker 7: doctor King. Believe me, he didn't think of himself as 47 00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:19,620 Speaker 7: doctor King. He thought of himself as Reverend King. It's 48 00:04:19,659 --> 00:04:24,340 Speaker 7: a fact. It's a fascinating switch because he was not 49 00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:28,980 Speaker 7: known as Doctor King at the time, because the American 50 00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:32,260 Speaker 7: public had not yet been taken over by the secular 51 00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:40,340 Speaker 7: left that finds religion useless at best and dangerous at worst. 52 00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:45,940 Speaker 7: And he was completely rooted in his Christianity, so many 53 00:04:45,980 --> 00:04:52,820 Speaker 7: of his speeches were God soaked and Christianity soaked. But 54 00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:59,300 Speaker 7: we have truly photoshopped history here with Doctor King. I 55 00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:02,900 Speaker 7: know there is a great joke that occurred that was 56 00:05:02,940 --> 00:05:07,299 Speaker 7: told in Jewish life. There was a time until again 57 00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:11,940 Speaker 7: the same thing happened where rabbis were known as rabbis, 58 00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:14,340 Speaker 7: just as Reverend King was known as Reverend kings Is, 59 00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:16,780 Speaker 7: Rabbi so and so, Rabbi so and so, Rabbi so 60 00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:20,660 Speaker 7: and so. Then within a generation it was doctor so 61 00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:27,099 Speaker 7: and so, Rabbi, doctor so and so rabbi, and sometimes 62 00:05:27,380 --> 00:05:31,020 Speaker 7: just doctor so and so. And there was a joke 63 00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:36,620 Speaker 7: told when the rabbis became doctors, the Jews got sick, 64 00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:44,020 Speaker 7: A great great line when rabbis became Jews got sick. 65 00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:48,980 Speaker 7: When Martin Luther King, when the Reverend became a doctor, 66 00:05:49,460 --> 00:05:58,340 Speaker 7: America got sick. I respect completely people who've gotten doctorates. 67 00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:02,060 Speaker 7: There is a tremendous amount of work involved in getting 68 00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:05,779 Speaker 7: any doctorate. I know that, I acknowledge it, and I 69 00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:11,500 Speaker 7: respect it. But in comparison to the good done by rabbis, 70 00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:19,300 Speaker 7: priests and ministers versus PhDs, excuse me, there's no comparison. 71 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,820 Speaker 7: The founder of the institute that I came out to 72 00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:30,779 Speaker 7: California in nineteen seventy six, in my twenties to direct, 73 00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:32,620 Speaker 7: he was fifty years. 74 00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:33,099 Speaker 3: Older than I. 75 00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:35,979 Speaker 7: I was twenty six, he was seventy six. Actually I 76 00:06:35,980 --> 00:06:40,060 Speaker 7: was twenty four when I came out first. He was 77 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:44,820 Speaker 7: seventy four, and he had a thick Russian accent. He 78 00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:50,500 Speaker 7: was a Russian Jewish immigrant, and he would say regularly 79 00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:55,140 Speaker 7: in his speeches, you know, it is very possible to 80 00:06:55,300 --> 00:07:01,620 Speaker 7: be a PhD. And the sob it was, and he 81 00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:08,979 Speaker 7: had and he was doctor Barney, I mean so and 82 00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:13,140 Speaker 7: so forgive me for referring to him as the Reverend King. 83 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,860 Speaker 7: I don't really give a whod if he got a PhD. 84 00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:17,940 Speaker 3: I'm sure, I'm sure there. 85 00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:19,980 Speaker 7: Was a sweet day for him, but it's not what 86 00:07:20,060 --> 00:07:23,380 Speaker 7: animated him. He did not do what he did because 87 00:07:23,380 --> 00:07:25,740 Speaker 7: of his PhD. He did what he did because he 88 00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:30,660 Speaker 7: was a reverend. This is all lost, all lost in 89 00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:34,060 Speaker 7: the way things are taught today and the emphasis on 90 00:07:34,180 --> 00:07:39,620 Speaker 7: this whole notion of doctor. Anyway, A good day to you. 91 00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:43,580 Speaker 7: I marvel on a day like this, on a totally 92 00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:48,980 Speaker 7: separate issue, I marvel at the lack of traffic on 93 00:07:49,060 --> 00:07:52,020 Speaker 7: the freeways as we call them in southern California and 94 00:07:52,140 --> 00:07:56,180 Speaker 7: northern California for that matter. On the freeway today. We 95 00:07:56,380 --> 00:08:00,100 Speaker 7: just zoomed, all of us who were on the roads 96 00:08:00,140 --> 00:08:03,580 Speaker 7: just zoomed. It was great, and of course it could 97 00:08:03,580 --> 00:08:09,540 Speaker 7: only mean one thing. The number of government workers is astonishing, right, 98 00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:13,500 Speaker 7: Everybody else is working. The restaurants are open, doctors are 99 00:08:13,540 --> 00:08:19,660 Speaker 7: seeing patients, people are having business meetings. It's banks, I mean, 100 00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,300 Speaker 7: it's not bankers, Okay. The reason for the lack of 101 00:08:22,380 --> 00:08:28,420 Speaker 7: traffic is not bankers and bank tellers. It's government workers 102 00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:33,780 Speaker 7: and not police, and not and not firemen. Their their 103 00:08:33,819 --> 00:08:38,020 Speaker 7: at work as always, so we're talking about it just 104 00:08:38,179 --> 00:08:42,860 Speaker 7: gives you an idea of the vastness of the numbers 105 00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:46,460 Speaker 7: of people who work for the government, and that this 106 00:08:46,740 --> 00:08:51,580 Speaker 7: that is the desire of the Democrats to increase that number, 107 00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:54,660 Speaker 7: and it has been It's The only thing that's been increased, 108 00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,980 Speaker 7: the only employment that's been increased under Barack Obama has 109 00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:04,620 Speaker 7: been federal workers. It's unbelievable to have increased the number 110 00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:10,260 Speaker 7: during this recession. It's unbelievable to increase the number without 111 00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:16,460 Speaker 7: a recession. But remember something, it's a bought vote. Please 112 00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:22,459 Speaker 7: understand that it is as close to handing people cash 113 00:09:23,179 --> 00:09:27,140 Speaker 7: for voting for a party as you can get. Vote 114 00:09:27,179 --> 00:09:31,460 Speaker 7: for our party. We will give you money and give 115 00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:36,819 Speaker 7: you a federal or state or municipal job. 116 00:09:37,780 --> 00:09:38,220 Speaker 3: That's it. 117 00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:43,700 Speaker 7: So the Democrats have not only no, they have no 118 00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:52,700 Speaker 7: philosophical and they have no self issue incentive to to 119 00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:55,540 Speaker 7: decrease the number of government employees. 120 00:09:56,580 --> 00:09:57,060 Speaker 3: None. 121 00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:03,260 Speaker 7: It only hurts them. They're not interested in prosperity. They're 122 00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:07,020 Speaker 7: interested in equality. So you could say, well, but everybody 123 00:10:07,060 --> 00:10:09,580 Speaker 7: knows that the more people employed in the private sector, 124 00:10:09,620 --> 00:10:10,939 Speaker 7: the better it is for the economy. 125 00:10:11,620 --> 00:10:13,260 Speaker 3: But it's irrelevant. 126 00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:19,100 Speaker 7: It's like telling somebody on the equator how to shovels. 127 00:10:19,179 --> 00:10:23,900 Speaker 7: Know they're not in interested. The Left is as interested 128 00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:28,620 Speaker 7: in prosperity as people at the equator are in snowshovels. 129 00:10:30,260 --> 00:10:36,620 Speaker 7: There's one for you, and I mean it literally. The 130 00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:40,940 Speaker 7: Left has never been interested in prosperity, nor has it 131 00:10:40,980 --> 00:10:47,179 Speaker 7: ever brought it about. The left is interested in material equality. 132 00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:51,900 Speaker 7: I've said this often, I will say it often because 133 00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:57,420 Speaker 7: it applies regularly. So the freeways are empty today, relatively 134 00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,300 Speaker 7: so because of all. 135 00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:01,620 Speaker 3: The government workers. You think we need them all. 136 00:11:03,060 --> 00:11:04,780 Speaker 7: And I hate to say this because I don't want 137 00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:08,939 Speaker 7: anybody listening or even not listening, to lose a job. 138 00:11:09,420 --> 00:11:13,819 Speaker 7: It bothers me terribly. So we're in a terrible quagmire 139 00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:19,180 Speaker 7: here of constant hiring, and then our hearts break at 140 00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:24,460 Speaker 7: anybody being let go. But at some point, my friends, 141 00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:29,540 Speaker 7: you just we cannot sustain this number. One A Praguer 142 00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:32,860 Speaker 7: seven seven six The Dennis Praguer Show. 143 00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:37,220 Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 144 00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:55,420 Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom. 145 00:11:55,500 --> 00:12:02,860 Speaker 7: Hi, everybody, Dennis Prager. I was marveling after speaking about 146 00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:06,260 Speaker 7: Martin Luther King Day, and I will continue because I 147 00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:07,860 Speaker 7: take national holiday seriously. 148 00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:10,740 Speaker 3: As you know, I was. 149 00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:15,220 Speaker 7: Talking about the relative lack of traffic, which can only 150 00:12:15,260 --> 00:12:19,740 Speaker 7: mean only mean one thing. The number of government workers 151 00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:24,740 Speaker 7: is quite quite high. If nothing else, at least allow 152 00:12:24,780 --> 00:12:28,660 Speaker 7: the attrition rate to reduce the numbers. Just don't rehire 153 00:12:28,740 --> 00:12:34,140 Speaker 7: as people leave jobs. But you see, it's all a 154 00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:37,340 Speaker 7: it's a vicious cycle because the less money you allow 155 00:12:37,380 --> 00:12:39,900 Speaker 7: the private sector, the less hiring will take place in 156 00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:44,780 Speaker 7: the private sector. If taxes weren't as high as they are, 157 00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:46,620 Speaker 7: I would be hiring people. Then I don't even run 158 00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:51,180 Speaker 7: a business. But are there always things that I would 159 00:12:51,260 --> 00:12:56,660 Speaker 7: love to do. But it's it's confiscatory between California and 160 00:12:56,700 --> 00:13:00,780 Speaker 7: the state and all the other taxes. We are taxed, 161 00:13:02,060 --> 00:13:04,700 Speaker 7: and many are. Anybody over two hundred thousand dollars a 162 00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:06,700 Speaker 7: person is tax at a fifty percent rate. 163 00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:10,020 Speaker 3: Fifty it's really more than fifty. 164 00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:14,540 Speaker 7: And there's going to be a proposition put up by 165 00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:18,020 Speaker 7: the governor of California to cotemporarily. I always got to 166 00:13:18,060 --> 00:13:21,660 Speaker 7: kick out of that. A temporary tax rate is like 167 00:13:23,620 --> 00:13:32,540 Speaker 7: it's like partial pregnancy. It doesn't exist. But the rhetoric 168 00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:36,220 Speaker 7: of the Democrats is such that to say this is 169 00:13:36,260 --> 00:13:39,860 Speaker 7: to be selfish, Well, you're not paying your fair share. 170 00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:45,460 Speaker 7: It becomes the answer what so it was the great 171 00:13:45,540 --> 00:13:49,860 Speaker 7: question is what is one's fair share? I had one 172 00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:53,260 Speaker 7: of the most powerful liberals in America, Henry Waxman, I 173 00:13:53,380 --> 00:13:58,140 Speaker 7: have known personally for decades, and I had him on 174 00:13:58,179 --> 00:14:00,740 Speaker 7: the show and I asked him that question. Do you 175 00:14:00,780 --> 00:14:04,020 Speaker 7: have the Do you have that in the Sean? Do 176 00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:07,020 Speaker 7: you have that in our reservoir of. 177 00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:09,460 Speaker 3: Dialogues? 178 00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:14,500 Speaker 7: When I asked the Congressman Waxman, how much taxes are enough? 179 00:14:17,179 --> 00:14:20,460 Speaker 7: And it was an important question and the answer is 180 00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:25,460 Speaker 7: revealing of thought on the left. Would you give a 181 00:14:25,540 --> 00:14:28,260 Speaker 7: percentage of income that would be paid an income text 182 00:14:28,260 --> 00:14:31,700 Speaker 7: that you think would begin to shatter people's incentives to 183 00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:32,300 Speaker 7: work hard. 184 00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:36,460 Speaker 3: I haven't reflected on that. I wouldn't want to just 185 00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:37,540 Speaker 3: pick a number. 186 00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:41,500 Speaker 7: Okay, And Krugman is the same thing. In the New 187 00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:44,500 Speaker 7: York Times, there's never a number. If they tell what 188 00:14:44,660 --> 00:14:50,180 Speaker 7: is the number? What is the amount that you feel 189 00:14:50,260 --> 00:14:53,300 Speaker 7: is fair? And remember it is entirely based on what 190 00:14:53,340 --> 00:14:57,620 Speaker 7: the left feels is fair. It's a completely subjective concept. 191 00:14:59,620 --> 00:15:04,140 Speaker 7: And the problem is though that their fairness, like Shariah, 192 00:15:04,180 --> 00:15:10,740 Speaker 7: is imposed on others. Leftism is a very, very compulsory religion, 193 00:15:12,460 --> 00:15:16,940 Speaker 7: as you will see when my book Still the Best 194 00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:19,620 Speaker 7: Hope comes out at the end of April. Because I 195 00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:25,300 Speaker 7: have this vast section on the left, analyzing, explaining if 196 00:15:25,340 --> 00:15:29,500 Speaker 7: we think it that fifty seven percent of your income 197 00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:31,100 Speaker 7: is fair, it's fair. 198 00:15:31,620 --> 00:15:34,620 Speaker 3: Seventy percent is fair, then it's fair. And if you 199 00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:38,740 Speaker 3: don't pay it, we arrest you. That's it. That is 200 00:15:38,780 --> 00:15:41,020 Speaker 3: the way it is. Now. Let me ask you if 201 00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:45,060 Speaker 3: you think that do you think be fair? Be leaven? 202 00:15:45,140 --> 00:15:48,500 Speaker 7: Those of you who are liberal and left on these issues, 203 00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:53,859 Speaker 7: I want you to think for a moment, just forget fairness, 204 00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:56,620 Speaker 7: forget all other subjects. 205 00:15:56,820 --> 00:15:57,260 Speaker 3: Just one. 206 00:15:57,580 --> 00:16:04,620 Speaker 7: I'll ask a narrow focused question, narrowly focused question. If 207 00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:09,340 Speaker 7: Americans could keep instead of fifty percent of their money, 208 00:16:09,740 --> 00:16:12,380 Speaker 7: they could keep let us say, seventy five percent of 209 00:16:12,380 --> 00:16:17,020 Speaker 7: their money. Do you think that that would be an 210 00:16:17,060 --> 00:16:20,940 Speaker 7: engine of economic growth? That's all I want. We can 211 00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:26,580 Speaker 7: then talk about fairness. But before fairness, I just just 212 00:16:26,660 --> 00:16:29,660 Speaker 7: if we care about economic growth. Okay, we're let's say 213 00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:32,740 Speaker 7: we're that narrowly focused. Do you think there will be 214 00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:38,220 Speaker 7: more or fewer jobs if Americans could keep seventy five 215 00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:41,260 Speaker 7: percent of their income? What do you think Americans do 216 00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:44,700 Speaker 7: with income that doesn't go to necessities? 217 00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:46,980 Speaker 3: What do you think they do with it? Keep it 218 00:16:47,020 --> 00:16:53,140 Speaker 3: in a mattress? All right? 219 00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:53,340 Speaker 4: One? 220 00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:58,380 Speaker 7: A Praguer seven seven six and let's see here our 221 00:16:58,380 --> 00:17:00,660 Speaker 7: Philadelphia call or hung up and I want here. 222 00:17:01,260 --> 00:17:04,140 Speaker 3: He had a thought on this. Maybe you could get 223 00:17:04,220 --> 00:17:04,700 Speaker 3: back in. 224 00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:09,540 Speaker 7: In the meantime, let's go to Dallas and one hello 225 00:17:09,619 --> 00:17:10,499 Speaker 7: on Dennis Prager. 226 00:17:10,580 --> 00:17:12,180 Speaker 2: Hi, Hey Dennis, Dennis, how are. 227 00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:13,419 Speaker 3: You doing great?

Maybe that's what you're referring to. Yeah, but 233 00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:30,499 Speaker 7: it was on so late. I don't blame you for 234 00:17:30,820 --> 00:17:31,580 Speaker 7: mixing me up. 235 00:17:33,340 --> 00:17:37,260 Speaker 2: Hey, you made a comment while ago that the federal 236 00:17:37,340 --> 00:17:44,979 Speaker 2: employment roles have been increased. Yes, I went to a 237 00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:49,459 Speaker 2: job there here in Dallas and the I R S 238 00:17:49,619 --> 00:17:52,060 Speaker 2: was there, and I was applying to be a pair 239 00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:55,539 Speaker 2: of you know, for paralygical position, and they told me 240 00:17:56,859 --> 00:18:02,219 Speaker 2: that there is a federal hiring freeze because simply that 241 00:18:02,379 --> 00:18:05,179 Speaker 2: Reid and the others have failed to pass a budget. 242 00:18:06,780 --> 00:18:08,899 Speaker 3: Well, they're right about read, but they're not. 243 00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:11,420 Speaker 7: I mean, from what I know, the I R S 244 00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:14,179 Speaker 7: was adding tens of thousands of agents. 245 00:18:14,540 --> 00:18:16,580 Speaker 2: Well, have you talked to the Department itself. 246 00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:20,219 Speaker 3: No, no, but that's what I'm going to look into that. Well, anyway, 247 00:18:20,219 --> 00:18:22,180 Speaker 3: why we're sink? Why were they in a job fair 248 00:18:22,260 --> 00:18:23,739 Speaker 3: if they had no jobs to offer? 249 00:18:24,179 --> 00:18:29,340 Speaker 2: That's why I asked them, well, what are you doing here? Well, 250 00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:33,739 Speaker 2: just like any employer when the economy for you know, 251 00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:36,379 Speaker 2: uh burns up toward you know. 252 00:18:36,459 --> 00:18:37,899 Speaker 3: Income, we'll keep your name. 253 00:18:38,060 --> 00:18:41,339 Speaker 2: It was that they probably want an inventory a prospect. 254 00:18:41,739 --> 00:18:45,139 Speaker 2: I see, okay, because they were where I go, they're 255 00:18:45,179 --> 00:18:48,179 Speaker 2: either taking applications of resume, but they're not hiring. 256 00:18:48,699 --> 00:18:51,619 Speaker 3: So right now, so you still haven't gotten a job 257 00:18:51,739 --> 00:18:52,139 Speaker 3: right now? 258 00:18:52,699 --> 00:18:52,939 Speaker 2: Right? 259 00:18:53,820 --> 00:18:55,539 Speaker 3: Well, what's your line of work? One? 260 00:18:56,060 --> 00:19:00,739 Speaker 2: Well, I was a workers comp specialist for Tenant Health Corporation. 261 00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:03,099 Speaker 2: Uh huh, I was. I was a collector. I was 262 00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:08,539 Speaker 2: collecting workers comp insurance pendiments from workers comp carriers and 263 00:19:08,739 --> 00:19:14,540 Speaker 2: also monitoring case status from attorneys who represented patients whose 264 00:19:14,580 --> 00:19:16,259 Speaker 2: employers had no insurance. 265 00:19:16,459 --> 00:19:19,939 Speaker 7: Well, it's certainly a specialized knowledge. I really wish you 266 00:19:19,979 --> 00:19:24,780 Speaker 7: well won It's it breaks my heart because I really 267 00:19:24,820 --> 00:19:27,900 Speaker 7: believe there's an answer to the problem of the wands 268 00:19:28,459 --> 00:19:32,259 Speaker 7: in our society, and it is a problem. It is 269 00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:35,659 Speaker 7: a tragedy for both sexes to lose a job, obviously, 270 00:19:36,340 --> 00:19:40,340 Speaker 7: but each sex reacts differently as a general rule, to 271 00:19:40,419 --> 00:19:41,499 Speaker 7: different things in life. 272 00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:45,580 Speaker 3: And a man is more his self. 273 00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:50,100 Speaker 7: Image and his sense of self is shaped by profession 274 00:19:50,260 --> 00:19:53,979 Speaker 7: more than most women's lives are. It's not good or bad. 275 00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:57,619 Speaker 7: It's just either true or false. And I believe it's true. 276 00:19:57,859 --> 00:20:02,540 Speaker 7: So I'm truly sorry, and I think we have solutions. 277 00:20:02,540 --> 00:20:05,379 Speaker 7: We who are called conservatives. Back in a moment. I'm 278 00:20:05,419 --> 00:20:06,139 Speaker 7: Dennis Prager. 279 00:20:08,340 --> 00:20:11,619 Speaker 1: This episode of timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 280 00:20:17,219 --> 00:20:20,859 Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdo. 281 00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:29,899 Speaker 7: Hi, everybody, Dennis Prager here on this Martin Luther King 282 00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:35,659 Speaker 7: Day Show. Got some interesting calls. One eight Praguer seven 283 00:20:35,780 --> 00:20:38,820 Speaker 7: seven six is the number, and let's. 284 00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:42,820 Speaker 3: Go to Paul and Philadelphia. Hi, Paul, Dennis Prager. 285 00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:45,460 Speaker 6: Hi, it's an honor to talk to you. I really 286 00:20:45,540 --> 00:20:47,459 Speaker 6: am inspired by a lot of what you say. But 287 00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:50,939 Speaker 6: I think I do have something important to say. Two things. One, 288 00:20:51,739 --> 00:20:55,299 Speaker 6: I'm a mailman and most of my other fellow workers, 289 00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:58,699 Speaker 6: they they they want. They listen to the part of 290 00:20:59,139 --> 00:21:03,179 Speaker 6: workers and say I'll take the money. Democrats are better 291 00:21:03,219 --> 00:21:06,299 Speaker 6: for them. Postal, Yes, but you're selling your soul and 292 00:21:06,340 --> 00:21:09,859 Speaker 6: the soul of the future generations about the social will issues. 293 00:21:09,939 --> 00:21:12,060 Speaker 6: In other words, yeah, I'll be like a dog jumping 294 00:21:12,139 --> 00:21:16,539 Speaker 6: for my family money selfishly and be being controlled, so 295 00:21:16,699 --> 00:21:20,179 Speaker 6: you don't you know, you know, take game beverage and 296 00:21:20,619 --> 00:21:23,859 Speaker 6: marshal birth abortion. But also I'm relating it to another thing. 297 00:21:23,979 --> 00:21:27,179 Speaker 6: I'm a Catholic and I read a lot and like, 298 00:21:27,340 --> 00:21:30,899 Speaker 6: for example, Archbishop Shappuvert a book called Render and the 299 00:21:30,979 --> 00:21:34,020 Speaker 6: Caesar is how there's no typratenduture state. But I'm making 300 00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:38,300 Speaker 6: a point that to be Catholic, really zero people should 301 00:21:38,340 --> 00:21:40,580 Speaker 6: be voting Democrat, not because the popes and not because 302 00:21:40,619 --> 00:21:43,060 Speaker 6: I say, but because you deeply understand you're not a child. 303 00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:48,300 Speaker 6: You understand why that there's all issues are not equal. 304 00:21:48,580 --> 00:21:51,219 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll tell you the truth, Paul. 305 00:21:51,659 --> 00:21:54,899 Speaker 7: It's a real uh powerful point you're making, and it's 306 00:21:54,939 --> 00:21:56,379 Speaker 7: always been a question to me. 307 00:21:57,379 --> 00:21:59,220 Speaker 3: So many Union. 308 00:21:58,979 --> 00:22:04,500 Speaker 7: Members have conservative and traditional values on social and other 309 00:22:04,580 --> 00:22:10,619 Speaker 7: issues and then vote Democrat for the reasons that you 310 00:22:10,699 --> 00:22:14,059 Speaker 7: and I are saying, because they will give us a 311 00:22:14,060 --> 00:22:15,020 Speaker 7: better pension plan. 312 00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:20,419 Speaker 3: And so if it's it's. 313 00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:24,819 Speaker 7: It's terrible, terrible thing. I can't believe that they're happy 314 00:22:24,939 --> 00:22:28,739 Speaker 7: when they pull the lever, unless they have just dulled 315 00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:30,979 Speaker 7: their conscience on this matter. I mean, if you are 316 00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:33,340 Speaker 7: a leftist and you're a Union member, then of course 317 00:22:33,379 --> 00:22:37,260 Speaker 7: you vote Democrat. If you're a leftist, you should vote Democrat. 318 00:22:37,260 --> 00:22:39,540 Speaker 7: But if you're not a leftist, you shouldn't. You don't 319 00:22:39,580 --> 00:22:41,739 Speaker 7: have to be a right winger to vote conservative. You 320 00:22:41,899 --> 00:22:44,619 Speaker 7: just have to be a non leftist to vote Republican. 321 00:22:47,419 --> 00:22:53,179 Speaker 7: The it's so interesting because it's the media run by 322 00:22:53,179 --> 00:22:56,980 Speaker 7: folks on the left that the Republicans are described as 323 00:22:57,020 --> 00:23:00,460 Speaker 7: having been taken over by the far right. What does 324 00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:02,739 Speaker 7: it mean to be far right? I mean to analyze 325 00:23:02,739 --> 00:23:07,060 Speaker 7: the positions for a moment. What far right means lower 326 00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:12,139 Speaker 7: taxes and smaller government is now far right? That's far right? 327 00:23:13,780 --> 00:23:20,779 Speaker 7: What's moderate right? It's so dishonest. It's just a dishonest thing. 328 00:23:23,179 --> 00:23:26,540 Speaker 7: But far left is not a Supreme Court telling a 329 00:23:26,619 --> 00:23:30,859 Speaker 7: New York school that school kids can't say God bless 330 00:23:30,899 --> 00:23:35,139 Speaker 7: our teachers and our parents. Right, that's not far left, 331 00:23:35,780 --> 00:23:39,540 Speaker 7: that's not extreme. There's no far left. Remember that, there's 332 00:23:39,580 --> 00:23:44,260 Speaker 7: no far left. There's no secular extremists. There's only religious extremists. 333 00:23:45,219 --> 00:23:48,540 Speaker 7: The whole vocabulary is shaped by the left, so it's 334 00:23:48,580 --> 00:23:54,700 Speaker 7: totally understandable that people think that way. I pray that 335 00:23:54,979 --> 00:24:00,580 Speaker 7: my book helps burst that bubble. I really do. Let's 336 00:24:00,659 --> 00:24:06,739 Speaker 7: go to Minneapolis and Betsy, Hello, Betsy.

But yes, it's not too 342 00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:25,379 Speaker 8: cold today. So you want to hear my story. 343 00:24:25,739 --> 00:24:27,659 Speaker 7: That's the reason I took your call. I kind have 344 00:24:27,699 --> 00:24:29,219 Speaker 7: figured out the temperature without you. 345 00:24:29,979 --> 00:24:34,020 Speaker 8: Okay. Well, I'm a newly hired volunteer as a teacher's 346 00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:36,699 Speaker 8: helper in a program for adult immigrants who want to 347 00:24:36,739 --> 00:24:40,899 Speaker 8: learn to read English. And this program is at a 348 00:24:40,939 --> 00:24:43,419 Speaker 8: local public high school, and last week we had a 349 00:24:43,580 --> 00:24:46,459 Speaker 8: unit on Martin Luther King and the students read a 350 00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:49,899 Speaker 8: short story which included an excerpt the most famous part 351 00:24:49,899 --> 00:24:52,899 Speaker 8: of course from the Dream Speech, and then followed up 352 00:24:52,899 --> 00:24:56,260 Speaker 8: with a discussion. And in the discussion, Martin Luther King 353 00:24:56,419 --> 00:25:01,260 Speaker 8: was presented as a speaker as a watch as a speaker, 354 00:25:02,260 --> 00:25:05,420 Speaker 8: and someone asked, well, what kind of speaker? And one 355 00:25:05,540 --> 00:25:08,500 Speaker 8: point one student pointed out to the reading and said, oh, 356 00:25:08,540 --> 00:25:11,659 Speaker 8: he was a doctor, And so I finally said, yes, 357 00:25:11,859 --> 00:25:14,980 Speaker 8: he was a doctor, a doctor of divinity, a Christian minister. 358 00:25:15,619 --> 00:25:18,259 Speaker 8: And the woman who asked the question, who is from China? 359 00:25:18,379 --> 00:25:22,019 Speaker 8: She went, oh, Then no more comments were made and 360 00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:22,780 Speaker 8: we moved on. 361 00:25:23,219 --> 00:25:25,499 Speaker 3: Wow, this is a great story. I want to comment 362 00:25:25,540 --> 00:25:25,739 Speaker 3: on it. 363 00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:31,340 Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 364 00:25:36,859 --> 00:25:44,500 Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Preger's Timeless Wisdom. 365 00:25:44,619 --> 00:25:46,419 Speaker 3: Hi, everybody, Dennis Preger here. 366 00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:48,619 Speaker 7: I had made the point at the beginning of the 367 00:25:48,659 --> 00:25:52,980 Speaker 7: show and honoring the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior, that 368 00:25:53,340 --> 00:25:59,500 Speaker 7: he's always called doctor King. He was never called doctor King, well, 369 00:25:59,540 --> 00:26:01,980 Speaker 7: not nearly as much, let's put it that way. Almost 370 00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:05,820 Speaker 7: never he was called the Reverend, the Reverend King. During 371 00:26:05,859 --> 00:26:08,740 Speaker 7: his time, he'd be shocked to be to know that 372 00:26:08,739 --> 00:26:12,540 Speaker 7: people didn't even know he's a reverend today. You think 373 00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:15,940 Speaker 7: he got his values from his doctorate or from his ordination. 374 00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:19,179 Speaker 7: Why don't we give a TikTok here, because it's going 375 00:26:19,219 --> 00:26:21,300 Speaker 7: to take people a lot of time think that through. 376 00:26:25,780 --> 00:26:27,580 Speaker 3: You got it, that's correct. 377 00:26:27,619 --> 00:26:32,619 Speaker 7: So Betsy teaches let's get this straight here, Betsy in Minnesota. 378 00:26:32,780 --> 00:26:35,779 Speaker 3: You you teach immigrants? Is that it? 379 00:26:36,379 --> 00:26:39,500 Speaker 8: Well, I'm not a teacher. I am a volunteer who 380 00:26:39,540 --> 00:26:40,300 Speaker 8: assists the teacher. 381 00:26:40,379 --> 00:26:42,059 Speaker 3: Okay, fine, so to do it. 382 00:26:42,139 --> 00:26:45,459 Speaker 7: So they were teaching about Martin Luther king to to 383 00:26:45,619 --> 00:26:47,859 Speaker 7: would be immigrants to the United States. 384 00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:51,899 Speaker 8: To adult immigrants, adult immigrants exactly. Okay, through a local 385 00:26:51,899 --> 00:26:52,699 Speaker 8: public high school. 386 00:26:52,699 --> 00:26:53,499 Speaker 3: All right, that's fine. 387 00:26:55,340 --> 00:26:58,179 Speaker 7: It's an added detail that was not critical, but I 388 00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:02,419 Speaker 7: thank you for it. Now let me I just want 389 00:27:02,419 --> 00:27:06,899 Speaker 7: to review here. He was discreted. My favorite part of 390 00:27:06,939 --> 00:27:11,179 Speaker 7: your story was when one student asked what did he do? 391 00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,460 Speaker 7: And it was that he was a speaker. 392 00:27:14,739 --> 00:27:17,260 Speaker 8: Right, and that's what's written in here, and I'm trying 393 00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:17,819 Speaker 8: to remember who. 394 00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:19,660 Speaker 9: But he was. 395 00:27:19,619 --> 00:27:23,700 Speaker 8: Presented as a yes, it's okay, what kind of speaker, 396 00:27:23,859 --> 00:27:28,460 Speaker 8: a good speaker? And then this book, well she looked 397 00:27:28,459 --> 00:27:30,300 Speaker 8: at the reading and she said, well it says here he. 398 00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:30,740 Speaker 7: Was a doctor. 399 00:27:30,859 --> 00:27:33,100 Speaker 3: There you go, that's it. They none of them knew that. 400 00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:33,859 Speaker 3: That's exactly. 401 00:27:34,379 --> 00:27:38,379 Speaker 7: The man has been de christianized and de religionized and 402 00:27:38,419 --> 00:27:39,260 Speaker 7: de goodized. 403 00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:45,980 Speaker 3: This is the secular left photo shopping of history. That's 404 00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:46,499 Speaker 3: what it is. 405 00:27:48,219 --> 00:27:51,179 Speaker 7: It's just like the photo shopping of history with God totally. 406 00:27:53,580 --> 00:27:57,580 Speaker 7: It's fascinating. God is removed from the textbooks. Kids don't 407 00:27:57,659 --> 00:28:01,899 Speaker 7: understand the utterly religious origins of the United States. Again, 408 00:28:02,899 --> 00:28:07,300 Speaker 7: my forthcoming book will make it so clear. Including Franklin 409 00:28:07,340 --> 00:28:12,179 Speaker 7: and Jefferson, nonsense about their being deist, it's all. It's 410 00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:17,340 Speaker 7: all fabricated history written by the secular left. In the 411 00:28:17,419 --> 00:28:24,580 Speaker 7: last generation. It was found by God centered people, including 412 00:28:24,659 --> 00:28:29,780 Speaker 7: Jefferson and Franklin, to be a God centered country that 413 00:28:29,820 --> 00:28:33,980 Speaker 7: you won't learn from textbooks. But starting this year, by 414 00:28:34,179 --> 00:28:38,299 Speaker 7: law in California, the biggest purchaser of textbooks, you must 415 00:28:38,780 --> 00:28:43,060 Speaker 7: must or you are fine you will your textbook will 416 00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:47,140 Speaker 7: not be bought by California schools if there is not 417 00:28:47,459 --> 00:28:53,220 Speaker 7: a section on the contributions of the transgendered and bi 418 00:28:53,420 --> 00:29:00,420 Speaker 7: sexuals to California and American history. See it's done in increments, 419 00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:03,660 Speaker 7: so you don't realize what the left does to truth. 420 00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:08,700 Speaker 7: God is out and the transgendered are in. I have 421 00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:11,499 Speaker 7: nothing against the transgender. I just want to make the 422 00:29:11,540 --> 00:29:14,459 Speaker 7: point that God has played a bigger role in American 423 00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,940 Speaker 7: history than the transgendered. I know that that is a 424 00:29:18,060 --> 00:29:24,900 Speaker 7: risky statement, and that the very articulation of it can 425 00:29:25,219 --> 00:29:29,459 Speaker 7: can set legal wheels and motion if it's said outside 426 00:29:29,459 --> 00:29:31,979 Speaker 7: of radio. As I always have far more freedom of 427 00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:35,420 Speaker 7: speech inside my studio than the moment I step outside 428 00:29:35,459 --> 00:29:39,499 Speaker 7: my studio. I'm allowed to say anything I want on air, 429 00:29:39,620 --> 00:29:42,620 Speaker 7: but off air. If I said that to a coworker, 430 00:29:43,060 --> 00:29:46,140 Speaker 7: God has played a bigger role in American history than 431 00:29:46,180 --> 00:29:50,819 Speaker 7: the transgendered there's I'm sure I would be brought up 432 00:29:50,820 --> 00:29:55,620 Speaker 7: to personnel on some charges of a hostile work environment 433 00:29:56,260 --> 00:30:00,420 Speaker 7: for Sean, for example, not that Shawn is transgender, just 434 00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:05,540 Speaker 7: he is very sensitive on their behalf. And it's the law, 435 00:30:05,860 --> 00:30:09,060 Speaker 7: and and and he's he's he's a law, law centered man. 436 00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:18,180 Speaker 7: What my book is now listed on Amazon. I'm going 437 00:30:18,260 --> 00:30:21,340 Speaker 7: to pre order it probably get it fast from Amazon 438 00:30:21,340 --> 00:30:27,940 Speaker 7: then my publisher.

I don't know what happened, 507 00:34:01,580 --> 00:34:02,460 Speaker 9: but it's a hot thing. 508 00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:07,020 Speaker 2: Okay, uh huh yeah. 509 00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:10,300 Speaker 7: Uh oh oh oh you're you're I understand what it was. 510 00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:13,380 Speaker 7: A we were my engineer was playing for me a 511 00:34:13,540 --> 00:34:17,459 Speaker 7: clip from someone who uses vulgar language on the on 512 00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:22,420 Speaker 7: on a on a private radio, uh broadcast. So you're 513 00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:26,180 Speaker 7: the only one who ever heard it. So anyway, thank you, 514 00:34:26,180 --> 00:34:27,180 Speaker 7: you're right go ahead. 515 00:34:28,779 --> 00:34:31,460 Speaker 9: I was taken back a little guy or statement. I 516 00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:35,419 Speaker 9: have nothing against transgenders, and I know your faith, so 517 00:34:35,460 --> 00:34:37,859 Speaker 9: I think you'd have something against that behavior. 518 00:34:39,420 --> 00:34:42,980 Speaker 7: There are two issues here with transgender. One is the 519 00:34:43,020 --> 00:34:47,379 Speaker 7: person who changes sex, which I always call transsexual. With 520 00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:51,140 Speaker 7: that person, I have no issue. I do have an issue, yes, 521 00:34:51,180 --> 00:34:54,540 Speaker 7: and I've said it probably a hundred times. I have 522 00:34:54,620 --> 00:34:58,620 Speaker 7: a very real issue with a man, for example, who 523 00:34:58,620 --> 00:35:00,500 Speaker 7: wears a dress in public. 524 00:35:01,859 --> 00:35:06,180 Speaker 3: I absolutely do. And I remember I talked about what 525 00:35:06,299 --> 00:35:08,100 Speaker 3: was a US air the man who went on on 526 00:35:08,180 --> 00:35:11,620 Speaker 3: a bra and panties and US air let him fly. 527 00:35:12,460 --> 00:35:15,620 Speaker 7: I thought it was just part of the devolution of 528 00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:21,219 Speaker 7: our culture. So I do I have. I don't like 529 00:35:21,460 --> 00:35:27,140 Speaker 7: the public flaunting of sexual norms. Privately, it is your business. 530 00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:31,020 Speaker 7: And a transsexual that is somebody who is who is 531 00:35:31,859 --> 00:35:35,219 Speaker 7: certain that he is in a she body and belongs 532 00:35:35,219 --> 00:35:36,980 Speaker 7: in a he body, or she is in a she 533 00:35:37,140 --> 00:35:40,539 Speaker 7: body and belongs in a he body. I have only 534 00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:44,140 Speaker 7: sympathy for these people for the pain that they must 535 00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:48,219 Speaker 7: go through to truly be certain you're in the wrong body. 536 00:35:49,739 --> 00:35:52,780 Speaker 7: But society has a right to to ask that while 537 00:35:52,819 --> 00:35:59,939 Speaker 7: you are in that body, you appear accordingly. But there 538 00:36:00,020 --> 00:36:03,180 Speaker 7: was no concept like that today. It is if I 539 00:36:03,299 --> 00:36:07,140 Speaker 7: want to do it, that's it. Society can go to hell. 540 00:36:07,779 --> 00:36:13,060 Speaker 7: I am all that matters and sexual matters in financial matters, 541 00:36:13,420 --> 00:36:17,100 Speaker 7: of course, you have no rights or more, far fewer back. 542 00:36:16,940 --> 00:36:32,060 Speaker 1: In a moment, this has been timeless wisdom with Dennis Prager. 543 00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:36,660 Speaker 1: Visit Dennisprager dot com for thousands of hours of Dennis's lectures, 544 00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:40,620 Speaker 1: courses in classic radio programs, and to purchase Dennis Prager's 545 00:36:40,739 --> 00:36:41,859 Speaker 1: Rational Bibles.
