Speaker 1: Welcome to Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager. Here thousands of
Speaker 1: hours of Dennis's lectures courses in classic radio programs. Had
Speaker 1: to purchase Dennis Prager's Rational Bibles. Go to Dennisprager dot com.
Speaker 2: The word.
Speaker 3: Come on and way and the Lord jem In, the
Speaker 3: word God, God, the word.
Speaker 4: I'm happy to John with you today.
Speaker 5: And what will go down in history as the greatest
Speaker 5: demonstration folk freedom in the history of Homni. So, even
Speaker 5: though we face the difficulties of to day and tomorrow,
Speaker 5: I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply
Speaker 5: rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that
Speaker 5: one day this nation will rise up, live out the
Speaker 5: true meaning of its creed.
Speaker 3: We hold these choos to be self.
Speaker 4: Evident, that all men are created. A dream that one day,
Speaker 4: on the Red Hills for Jordan, Suns of farmer slaves and.
Speaker 5: The Suns are farmer playbo, we may be.
Speaker 3: Able to sit.
Speaker 5: Down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a
Speaker 5: dream my our little.
Speaker 3: Children, one of the America wed They will.
Speaker 4: Not be judged by the color of that skin, but by.
Speaker 3: The content of that character.
Speaker 6: I have a dream.
Speaker 7: Today's welcome to the Dennis Prager Show, and this is
Speaker 7: Martin Luther King Day. As you know, it is my
Speaker 7: policy to honor the national holidays, otherwise they shouldn't be
Speaker 7: a national holiday. I affirm that this ought to be
Speaker 7: a national holiday. I believe, I have believed my whole
Speaker 7: life that Martin Luther King Junior, among other things, prevented
Speaker 7: racial violence in this country. For that alone, he has
Speaker 7: a very special place in heaven, and I don't think
Speaker 7: that there is a a way to.
Speaker 3: Deny that.
Speaker 7: And he was an orator of the first order. I
Speaker 7: mean truly one of the great orators. I wish we
Speaker 7: had recordings of all the great orders in history and
Speaker 7: certainly in American history. But obviously recording is a relatively
Speaker 7: brand new mechanical device. But happily we have that speech
Speaker 7: and so many others. You read them, they last, that's
Speaker 7: the greatness of them. They last. And it's very interesting,
Speaker 7: though not always emphasized, how rooted he was in his
Speaker 7: Americanism and in his Christianity. It's now everybody's doctor King,
Speaker 7: doctor King, doctor King, doctor King, right, It's only is
Speaker 7: doctor King. Believe me, he didn't think of himself as
Speaker 7: doctor King. He thought of himself as Reverend King. It's
Speaker 7: a fact. It's a fascinating switch because he was not
Speaker 7: known as Doctor King at the time, because the American
Speaker 7: public had not yet been taken over by the secular
Speaker 7: left that finds religion useless at best and dangerous at worst.
Speaker 7: And he was completely rooted in his Christianity, so many
Speaker 7: of his speeches were God soaked and Christianity soaked. But
Speaker 7: we have truly photoshopped history here with Doctor King. I
Speaker 7: know there is a great joke that occurred that was
Speaker 7: told in Jewish life. There was a time until again
Speaker 7: the same thing happened where rabbis were known as rabbis,
Speaker 7: just as Reverend King was known as Reverend kings Is,
Speaker 7: Rabbi so and so, Rabbi so and so, Rabbi so
Speaker 7: and so. Then within a generation it was doctor so
Speaker 7: and so, Rabbi, doctor so and so rabbi, and sometimes
Speaker 7: just doctor so and so. And there was a joke
Speaker 7: told when the rabbis became doctors, the Jews got sick,
Speaker 7: A great great line when rabbis became Jews got sick.
Speaker 7: When Martin Luther King, when the Reverend became a doctor,
Speaker 7: America got sick. I respect completely people who've gotten doctorates.
Speaker 7: There is a tremendous amount of work involved in getting
Speaker 7: any doctorate. I know that, I acknowledge it, and I
Speaker 7: respect it. But in comparison to the good done by rabbis,
Speaker 7: priests and ministers versus PhDs, excuse me, there's no comparison.
Speaker 7: The founder of the institute that I came out to
Speaker 7: California in nineteen seventy six, in my twenties to direct,
Speaker 7: he was fifty years.
Speaker 3: Older than I.
Speaker 7: I was twenty six, he was seventy six. Actually I
Speaker 7: was twenty four when I came out first. He was
Speaker 7: seventy four, and he had a thick Russian accent. He
Speaker 7: was a Russian Jewish immigrant, and he would say regularly
Speaker 7: in his speeches, you know, it is very possible to
Speaker 7: be a PhD. And the sob it was, and he
Speaker 7: had and he was doctor Barney, I mean so and
Speaker 7: so forgive me for referring to him as the Reverend King.
Speaker 7: I don't really give a whod if he got a PhD.
Speaker 3: I'm sure, I'm sure there.
Speaker 7: Was a sweet day for him, but it's not what
Speaker 7: animated him. He did not do what he did because
Speaker 7: of his PhD. He did what he did because he
Speaker 7: was a reverend. This is all lost, all lost in
Speaker 7: the way things are taught today and the emphasis on
Speaker 7: this whole notion of doctor. Anyway, A good day to you.
Speaker 7: I marvel on a day like this, on a totally
Speaker 7: separate issue, I marvel at the lack of traffic on
Speaker 7: the freeways as we call them in southern California and
Speaker 7: northern California for that matter. On the freeway today. We
Speaker 7: just zoomed, all of us who were on the roads
Speaker 7: just zoomed. It was great, and of course it could
Speaker 7: only mean one thing. The number of government workers is astonishing, right,
Speaker 7: Everybody else is working. The restaurants are open, doctors are
Speaker 7: seeing patients, people are having business meetings. It's banks, I mean,
Speaker 7: it's not bankers, Okay. The reason for the lack of
Speaker 7: traffic is not bankers and bank tellers. It's government workers
Speaker 7: and not police, and not and not firemen. Their their
Speaker 7: at work as always, so we're talking about it just
Speaker 7: gives you an idea of the vastness of the numbers
Speaker 7: of people who work for the government, and that this
Speaker 7: that is the desire of the Democrats to increase that number,
Speaker 7: and it has been It's The only thing that's been increased,
Speaker 7: the only employment that's been increased under Barack Obama has
Speaker 7: been federal workers. It's unbelievable to have increased the number
Speaker 7: during this recession. It's unbelievable to increase the number without
Speaker 7: a recession. But remember something, it's a bought vote. Please
Speaker 7: understand that it is as close to handing people cash
Speaker 7: for voting for a party as you can get. Vote
Speaker 7: for our party. We will give you money and give
Speaker 7: you a federal or state or municipal job.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 7: So the Democrats have not only no, they have no
Speaker 7: philosophical and they have no self issue incentive to to
Speaker 7: decrease the number of government employees.
Speaker 3: None.
Speaker 7: It only hurts them. They're not interested in prosperity. They're
Speaker 7: interested in equality. So you could say, well, but everybody
Speaker 7: knows that the more people employed in the private sector,
Speaker 7: the better it is for the economy.
Speaker 3: But it's irrelevant.
Speaker 7: It's like telling somebody on the equator how to shovels.
Speaker 7: Know they're not in interested. The Left is as interested
Speaker 7: in prosperity as people at the equator are in snowshovels.
Speaker 7: There's one for you, and I mean it literally. The
Speaker 7: Left has never been interested in prosperity, nor has it
Speaker 7: ever brought it about. The left is interested in material equality.
Speaker 7: I've said this often, I will say it often because
Speaker 7: it applies regularly. So the freeways are empty today, relatively
Speaker 7: so because of all.
Speaker 3: The government workers. You think we need them all.
Speaker 7: And I hate to say this because I don't want
Speaker 7: anybody listening or even not listening, to lose a job.
Speaker 7: It bothers me terribly. So we're in a terrible quagmire
Speaker 7: here of constant hiring, and then our hearts break at
Speaker 7: anybody being let go. But at some point, my friends,
Speaker 7: you just we cannot sustain this number. One A Praguer
Speaker 7: seven seven six The Dennis Praguer Show.
Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom.
Speaker 7: Hi, everybody, Dennis Prager. I was marveling after speaking about
Speaker 7: Martin Luther King Day, and I will continue because I
Speaker 7: take national holiday seriously.
Speaker 3: As you know, I was.
Speaker 7: Talking about the relative lack of traffic, which can only
Speaker 7: mean only mean one thing. The number of government workers
Speaker 7: is quite quite high. If nothing else, at least allow
Speaker 7: the attrition rate to reduce the numbers. Just don't rehire
Speaker 7: as people leave jobs. But you see, it's all a
Speaker 7: it's a vicious cycle because the less money you allow
Speaker 7: the private sector, the less hiring will take place in
Speaker 7: the private sector. If taxes weren't as high as they are,
Speaker 7: I would be hiring people. Then I don't even run
Speaker 7: a business. But are there always things that I would
Speaker 7: love to do. But it's it's confiscatory between California and
Speaker 7: the state and all the other taxes. We are taxed,
Speaker 7: and many are. Anybody over two hundred thousand dollars a
Speaker 7: person is tax at a fifty percent rate.
Speaker 3: Fifty it's really more than fifty.
Speaker 7: And there's going to be a proposition put up by
Speaker 7: the governor of California to cotemporarily. I always got to
Speaker 7: kick out of that. A temporary tax rate is like
Speaker 7: it's like partial pregnancy. It doesn't exist. But the rhetoric
Speaker 7: of the Democrats is such that to say this is
Speaker 7: to be selfish, Well, you're not paying your fair share.
Speaker 7: It becomes the answer what so it was the great
Speaker 7: question is what is one's fair share? I had one
Speaker 7: of the most powerful liberals in America, Henry Waxman, I
Speaker 7: have known personally for decades, and I had him on
Speaker 7: the show and I asked him that question. Do you
Speaker 7: have the Do you have that in the Sean? Do
Speaker 7: you have that in our reservoir of.
Speaker 3: Dialogues?
Speaker 7: When I asked the Congressman Waxman, how much taxes are enough?
Speaker 7: And it was an important question and the answer is
Speaker 7: revealing of thought on the left. Would you give a
Speaker 7: percentage of income that would be paid an income text
Speaker 7: that you think would begin to shatter people's incentives to
Speaker 7: work hard.
Speaker 3: I haven't reflected on that. I wouldn't want to just
Speaker 3: pick a number.
Speaker 7: Okay, And Krugman is the same thing. In the New
Speaker 7: York Times, there's never a number. If they tell what
Speaker 7: is the number? What is the amount that you feel
Speaker 7: is fair? And remember it is entirely based on what
Speaker 7: the left feels is fair. It's a completely subjective concept.
Speaker 7: And the problem is though that their fairness, like Shariah,
Speaker 7: is imposed on others. Leftism is a very, very compulsory religion,
Speaker 7: as you will see when my book Still the Best
Speaker 7: Hope comes out at the end of April. Because I
Speaker 7: have this vast section on the left, analyzing, explaining if
Speaker 7: we think it that fifty seven percent of your income
Speaker 7: is fair, it's fair.
Speaker 3: Seventy percent is fair, then it's fair. And if you
Speaker 3: don't pay it, we arrest you. That's it. That is
Speaker 3: the way it is. Now. Let me ask you if
Speaker 3: you think that do you think be fair? Be leaven?
Speaker 7: Those of you who are liberal and left on these issues,
Speaker 7: I want you to think for a moment, just forget fairness,
Speaker 7: forget all other subjects.
Speaker 3: Just one.
Speaker 7: I'll ask a narrow focused question, narrowly focused question. If
Speaker 7: Americans could keep instead of fifty percent of their money,
Speaker 7: they could keep let us say, seventy five percent of
Speaker 7: their money. Do you think that that would be an
Speaker 7: engine of economic growth? That's all I want. We can
Speaker 7: then talk about fairness. But before fairness, I just just
Speaker 7: if we care about economic growth. Okay, we're let's say
Speaker 7: we're that narrowly focused. Do you think there will be
Speaker 7: more or fewer jobs if Americans could keep seventy five
Speaker 7: percent of their income? What do you think Americans do
Speaker 7: with income that doesn't go to necessities?
Speaker 3: What do you think they do with it? Keep it
Speaker 3: in a mattress? All right?
Speaker 4: One?
Speaker 7: A Praguer seven seven six and let's see here our
Speaker 7: Philadelphia call or hung up and I want here.
Speaker 3: He had a thought on this. Maybe you could get
Speaker 3: back in.
Speaker 7: In the meantime, let's go to Dallas and one hello
Speaker 7: on Dennis Prager.
Speaker 2: Hi, Hey Dennis, Dennis, how are.
Speaker 3: You doing great? Thanks?
Speaker 2: I remember watching you back on Crossfire when you were
Speaker 2: feeling for Buchanan. Really I did, Yeah, didn't you. Didn't
Speaker 2: you come across one time?
Speaker 7: No, I had a I had a TV show in
Speaker 7: the nineties. Maybe that's what you're referring to. Yeah, but
Speaker 7: it was on so late. I don't blame you for
Speaker 7: mixing me up.
Speaker 2: Hey, you made a comment while ago that the federal
Speaker 2: employment roles have been increased. Yes, I went to a
Speaker 2: job there here in Dallas and the I R S
Speaker 2: was there, and I was applying to be a pair
Speaker 2: of you know, for paralygical position, and they told me
Speaker 2: that there is a federal hiring freeze because simply that
Speaker 2: Reid and the others have failed to pass a budget.
Speaker 3: Well, they're right about read, but they're not.
Speaker 7: I mean, from what I know, the I R S
Speaker 7: was adding tens of thousands of agents.
Speaker 2: Well, have you talked to the Department itself.
Speaker 3: No, no, but that's what I'm going to look into that. Well, anyway,
Speaker 3: why we're sink? Why were they in a job fair
Speaker 3: if they had no jobs to offer?
Speaker 2: That's why I asked them, well, what are you doing here? Well,
Speaker 2: just like any employer when the economy for you know,
Speaker 2: uh burns up toward you know.
Speaker 3: Income, we'll keep your name.
Speaker 2: It was that they probably want an inventory a prospect.
Speaker 2: I see, okay, because they were where I go, they're
Speaker 2: either taking applications of resume, but they're not hiring.
Speaker 3: So right now, so you still haven't gotten a job
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Well, what's your line of work? One?
Speaker 2: Well, I was a workers comp specialist for Tenant Health Corporation.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, I was. I was a collector. I was
Speaker 2: collecting workers comp insurance pendiments from workers comp carriers and
Speaker 2: also monitoring case status from attorneys who represented patients whose
Speaker 2: employers had no insurance.
Speaker 7: Well, it's certainly a specialized knowledge. I really wish you
Speaker 7: well won It's it breaks my heart because I really
Speaker 7: believe there's an answer to the problem of the wands
Speaker 7: in our society, and it is a problem. It is
Speaker 7: a tragedy for both sexes to lose a job, obviously,
Speaker 7: but each sex reacts differently as a general rule, to
Speaker 7: different things in life.
Speaker 3: And a man is more his self.
Speaker 7: Image and his sense of self is shaped by profession
Speaker 7: more than most women's lives are. It's not good or bad.
Speaker 7: It's just either true or false. And I believe it's true.
Speaker 7: So I'm truly sorry, and I think we have solutions.
Speaker 7: We who are called conservatives. Back in a moment. I'm
Speaker 7: Dennis Prager.
Speaker 1: This episode of timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdo.
Speaker 7: Hi, everybody, Dennis Prager here on this Martin Luther King
Speaker 7: Day Show. Got some interesting calls. One eight Praguer seven
Speaker 7: seven six is the number, and let's.
Speaker 3: Go to Paul and Philadelphia. Hi, Paul, Dennis Prager.
Speaker 6: Hi, it's an honor to talk to you. I really
Speaker 6: am inspired by a lot of what you say. But
Speaker 6: I think I do have something important to say. Two things. One,
Speaker 6: I'm a mailman and most of my other fellow workers,
Speaker 6: they they they want. They listen to the part of
Speaker 6: workers and say I'll take the money. Democrats are better
Speaker 6: for them. Postal, Yes, but you're selling your soul and
Speaker 6: the soul of the future generations about the social will issues.
Speaker 6: In other words, yeah, I'll be like a dog jumping
Speaker 6: for my family money selfishly and be being controlled, so
Speaker 6: you don't you know, you know, take game beverage and
Speaker 6: marshal birth abortion. But also I'm relating it to another thing.
Speaker 6: I'm a Catholic and I read a lot and like,
Speaker 6: for example, Archbishop Shappuvert a book called Render and the
Speaker 6: Caesar is how there's no typratenduture state. But I'm making
Speaker 6: a point that to be Catholic, really zero people should
Speaker 6: be voting Democrat, not because the popes and not because
Speaker 6: I say, but because you deeply understand you're not a child.
Speaker 6: You understand why that there's all issues are not equal.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll tell you the truth, Paul.
Speaker 7: It's a real uh powerful point you're making, and it's
Speaker 7: always been a question to me.
Speaker 3: So many Union.
Speaker 7: Members have conservative and traditional values on social and other
Speaker 7: issues and then vote Democrat for the reasons that you
Speaker 7: and I are saying, because they will give us a
Speaker 7: better pension plan.
Speaker 3: And so if it's it's.
Speaker 7: It's terrible, terrible thing. I can't believe that they're happy
Speaker 7: when they pull the lever, unless they have just dulled
Speaker 7: their conscience on this matter. I mean, if you are
Speaker 7: a leftist and you're a Union member, then of course
Speaker 7: you vote Democrat. If you're a leftist, you should vote Democrat.
Speaker 7: But if you're not a leftist, you shouldn't. You don't
Speaker 7: have to be a right winger to vote conservative. You
Speaker 7: just have to be a non leftist to vote Republican.
Speaker 7: The it's so interesting because it's the media run by
Speaker 7: folks on the left that the Republicans are described as
Speaker 7: having been taken over by the far right. What does
Speaker 7: it mean to be far right? I mean to analyze
Speaker 7: the positions for a moment. What far right means lower
Speaker 7: taxes and smaller government is now far right? That's far right?
Speaker 7: What's moderate right? It's so dishonest. It's just a dishonest thing.
Speaker 7: But far left is not a Supreme Court telling a
Speaker 7: New York school that school kids can't say God bless
Speaker 7: our teachers and our parents. Right, that's not far left,
Speaker 7: that's not extreme. There's no far left. Remember that, there's
Speaker 7: no far left. There's no secular extremists. There's only religious extremists.
Speaker 7: The whole vocabulary is shaped by the left, so it's
Speaker 7: totally understandable that people think that way. I pray that
Speaker 7: my book helps burst that bubble. I really do. Let's
Speaker 7: go to Minneapolis and Betsy, Hello, Betsy. What's the temperature, Betsy?
Speaker 8: Oh boy, it's about forty oh really forty to not
Speaker 8: too bad.
Speaker 3: I thought it was scheduled to go to zero.
Speaker 8: Well, it's been bouncing around and there's no snow, and
Speaker 8: I'm worried about my plants. But yes, it's not too
Speaker 8: cold today. So you want to hear my story.
Speaker 7: That's the reason I took your call. I kind have
Speaker 7: figured out the temperature without you.
Speaker 8: Okay. Well, I'm a newly hired volunteer as a teacher's
Speaker 8: helper in a program for adult immigrants who want to
Speaker 8: learn to read English. And this program is at a
Speaker 8: local public high school, and last week we had a
Speaker 8: unit on Martin Luther King and the students read a
Speaker 8: short story which included an excerpt the most famous part
Speaker 8: of course from the Dream Speech, and then followed up
Speaker 8: with a discussion. And in the discussion, Martin Luther King
Speaker 8: was presented as a speaker as a watch as a speaker,
Speaker 8: and someone asked, well, what kind of speaker? And one
Speaker 8: point one student pointed out to the reading and said, oh,
Speaker 8: he was a doctor, And so I finally said, yes,
Speaker 8: he was a doctor, a doctor of divinity, a Christian minister.
Speaker 8: And the woman who asked the question, who is from China?
Speaker 8: She went, oh, Then no more comments were made and
Speaker 8: we moved on.
Speaker 3: Wow, this is a great story. I want to comment
Speaker 3: on it.
Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Preger's Timeless Wisdom.
Speaker 3: Hi, everybody, Dennis Preger here.
Speaker 7: I had made the point at the beginning of the
Speaker 7: show and honoring the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior, that
Speaker 7: he's always called doctor King. He was never called doctor King, well,
Speaker 7: not nearly as much, let's put it that way. Almost
Speaker 7: never he was called the Reverend, the Reverend King. During
Speaker 7: his time, he'd be shocked to be to know that
Speaker 7: people didn't even know he's a reverend today. You think
Speaker 7: he got his values from his doctorate or from his ordination.
Speaker 7: Why don't we give a TikTok here, because it's going
Speaker 7: to take people a lot of time think that through.
Speaker 3: You got it, that's correct.
Speaker 7: So Betsy teaches let's get this straight here, Betsy in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: You you teach immigrants? Is that it?
Speaker 8: Well, I'm not a teacher. I am a volunteer who
Speaker 8: assists the teacher.
Speaker 3: Okay, fine, so to do it.
Speaker 7: So they were teaching about Martin Luther king to to
Speaker 7: would be immigrants to the United States.
Speaker 8: To adult immigrants, adult immigrants exactly. Okay, through a local
Speaker 8: public high school.
Speaker 3: All right, that's fine.
Speaker 7: It's an added detail that was not critical, but I
Speaker 7: thank you for it. Now let me I just want
Speaker 7: to review here. He was discreted. My favorite part of
Speaker 7: your story was when one student asked what did he do?
Speaker 7: And it was that he was a speaker.
Speaker 8: Right, and that's what's written in here, and I'm trying
Speaker 8: to remember who.
Speaker 9: But he was.
Speaker 8: Presented as a yes, it's okay, what kind of speaker,
Speaker 8: a good speaker? And then this book, well she looked
Speaker 8: at the reading and she said, well it says here he.
Speaker 7: Was a doctor.
Speaker 3: There you go, that's it. They none of them knew that.
Speaker 3: That's exactly.
Speaker 7: The man has been de christianized and de religionized and
Speaker 7: de goodized.
Speaker 3: This is the secular left photo shopping of history. That's
Speaker 3: what it is.
Speaker 7: It's just like the photo shopping of history with God totally.
Speaker 7: It's fascinating. God is removed from the textbooks. Kids don't
Speaker 7: understand the utterly religious origins of the United States. Again,
Speaker 7: my forthcoming book will make it so clear. Including Franklin
Speaker 7: and Jefferson, nonsense about their being deist, it's all. It's
Speaker 7: all fabricated history written by the secular left. In the
Speaker 7: last generation. It was found by God centered people, including
Speaker 7: Jefferson and Franklin, to be a God centered country that
Speaker 7: you won't learn from textbooks. But starting this year, by
Speaker 7: law in California, the biggest purchaser of textbooks, you must
Speaker 7: must or you are fine you will your textbook will
Speaker 7: not be bought by California schools if there is not
Speaker 7: a section on the contributions of the transgendered and bi
Speaker 7: sexuals to California and American history. See it's done in increments,
Speaker 7: so you don't realize what the left does to truth.
Speaker 7: God is out and the transgendered are in. I have
Speaker 7: nothing against the transgender. I just want to make the
Speaker 7: point that God has played a bigger role in American
Speaker 7: history than the transgendered. I know that that is a
Speaker 7: risky statement, and that the very articulation of it can
Speaker 7: can set legal wheels and motion if it's said outside
Speaker 7: of radio. As I always have far more freedom of
Speaker 7: speech inside my studio than the moment I step outside
Speaker 7: my studio. I'm allowed to say anything I want on air,
Speaker 7: but off air. If I said that to a coworker,
Speaker 7: God has played a bigger role in American history than
Speaker 7: the transgendered there's I'm sure I would be brought up
Speaker 7: to personnel on some charges of a hostile work environment
Speaker 7: for Sean, for example, not that Shawn is transgender, just
Speaker 7: he is very sensitive on their behalf. And it's the law,
Speaker 7: and and and he's he's he's a law, law centered man.
Speaker 7: What my book is now listed on Amazon. I'm going
Speaker 7: to pre order it probably get it fast from Amazon
Speaker 7: then my publisher. April twenty What April twenty fourth? That's
Speaker 7: bloody exciting? How much is it?
Speaker 8: So?
Speaker 3: What is it like?
Speaker 7: List for one hundred and six and you get it
Speaker 7: for seventeen? What does it list for twenty six ninety nine?
Speaker 3: Who?
Speaker 7: I got the chills. They don't have a picture, do they?
Speaker 7: Of course not? They cover isn't even designed yet. Oh,
Speaker 7: David's Amazon. They'll design their own cover and then I'll
Speaker 7: tell my publisher looks good.
Speaker 3: Take Amazon's cover. You'll save buddy.
Speaker 7: The doctorization of Martin Luther King is so it's so
Speaker 7: representative of what has happened. Michael, one of our many
Speaker 7: fourteen year old listeners in Ohio City, Ohio.
Speaker 10: Mister Preger, are you there?
Speaker 7: I am here one minute? Just tell me something I'm
Speaker 7: not familiar with. Ohio city.
Speaker 10: I said, Iowa City, Iowa.
Speaker 7: You're in Iowa City, Iowa. And our man wrote Ohio City, Ohio.
Speaker 3: One minute. He will now be disciplined.
Speaker 5: Okay, are.
Speaker 3: Going to learn to be more professional? What you're going
Speaker 3: to Okay, Michael, go ahead.
Speaker 10: I'm pleasure to talk to you, mister pank you first
Speaker 10: time caller is even long time listener.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 10: So as as the quickest side, I suggested you try
Speaker 10: to interview some of the cancers the field strengths, especially
Speaker 10: Romney Santorum. But I'm just going to get to my comments.
Speaker 10: I saw Romney or I went to a Romney rally
Speaker 10: with my parents, and he gave a great speech about
Speaker 10: American values and uh freedom and earning your own stuff,
Speaker 10: and my dad said it was a speech you can
Speaker 10: imagine Reagan giving. And I know you have worries about
Speaker 10: Romney and I do too, But you have a Pregger
Speaker 10: Niversity video about how actions matter non intentions. And Romney
Speaker 10: could be a liar, but a live who knows exactly
Speaker 10: what to say about conservative principles in the last and
Speaker 10: a liar who knows or are a liar.
Speaker 3: If you said, oh, no, he's never.
Speaker 10: He's not a liar, I said he could be a liar.
Speaker 10: We don't know.
Speaker 7: Oh I see, No, no he isn't. And I am
Speaker 7: totally with you, Michael. I told you last week I
Speaker 7: went I went through a metamorphosis. I'm very open with
Speaker 7: my listeners. I had I had problems with with Mitt
Speaker 7: Romney for five years, but now I am. I read
Speaker 7: what he says, I listened to what he says. I
Speaker 7: believe he means it. I believe he has grown and
Speaker 7: what he says is often now magnificent.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Michael.
Speaker 7: Hello, everybody, you're listening to the Tennis Prager Show and
Speaker 7: you are invited to visit Prague University. Make that please
Speaker 7: a new Year's resolution. As you heard that fourteen year
Speaker 7: old that makes me feel good. It's five minute courses.
Speaker 7: You have no idea how many days weeks are on
Speaker 7: a five minute course. It's it's easier to do an
Speaker 7: hour course than it is to do a five minute course.
Speaker 7: Prager University dot com. Dennis in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Is that
Speaker 7: d as in Doyle's or b is in Boyles?
Speaker 9: He is in Doyle as in Dog Gotcha? Okay?

Speaker 3: How's that he isn't Dennis? I like that?
Speaker 2: Happy to know you, Dennis, Thank you.
Speaker 9: I wanted to make well quick point. Listen tew your
Speaker 9: screen of the check that message that goes.
Speaker 2: On while you're on hold.
Speaker 9: It was a little vulgar. I don't know what happened,
Speaker 9: but it's a hot thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, uh huh yeah.
Speaker 7: Uh oh oh oh you're you're I understand what it was.
Speaker 7: A we were my engineer was playing for me a
Speaker 7: clip from someone who uses vulgar language on the on
Speaker 7: on a on a private radio, uh broadcast. So you're
Speaker 7: the only one who ever heard it. So anyway, thank you,
Speaker 7: you're right go ahead.
Speaker 9: I was taken back a little guy or statement. I
Speaker 9: have nothing against transgenders, and I know your faith, so
Speaker 9: I think you'd have something against that behavior.
Speaker 7: There are two issues here with transgender. One is the
Speaker 7: person who changes sex, which I always call transsexual. With
Speaker 7: that person, I have no issue. I do have an issue, yes,
Speaker 7: and I've said it probably a hundred times. I have
Speaker 7: a very real issue with a man, for example, who
Speaker 7: wears a dress in public.
Speaker 3: I absolutely do. And I remember I talked about what
Speaker 3: was a US air the man who went on on
Speaker 3: a bra and panties and US air let him fly.
Speaker 7: I thought it was just part of the devolution of
Speaker 7: our culture. So I do I have. I don't like
Speaker 7: the public flaunting of sexual norms. Privately, it is your business.
Speaker 7: And a transsexual that is somebody who is who is
Speaker 7: certain that he is in a she body and belongs
Speaker 7: in a he body, or she is in a she
Speaker 7: body and belongs in a he body. I have only
Speaker 7: sympathy for these people for the pain that they must
Speaker 7: go through to truly be certain you're in the wrong body.
Speaker 7: But society has a right to to ask that while
Speaker 7: you are in that body, you appear accordingly. But there
Speaker 7: was no concept like that today. It is if I
Speaker 7: want to do it, that's it. Society can go to hell.
Speaker 7: I am all that matters and sexual matters in financial matters,
Speaker 7: of course, you have no rights or more, far fewer back.
