Best of the Program | Guests: Addia Wuchner & Dennis Prager | 11/1/22

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Hey, welcome to today's program.

Hi, Stu.

Hi, Glenn.

How are you?

Good.

How are you?

Yeah, good.

Yeah.

On today's program,

we should talk a little bit about fried and fatty foods and lizzo.

I think that should come up at some point.

We should address it.

We should address it.

Yeah, we'll try to get that in before the end of the show.

Okay, good, good.

Let's see.

We've got Mike Leon.

There's two polls out.

One that says he's at 11 points ahead, and another one that says he's six and I saw another one this morning that says five points ahead.

The guy should be 25 points ahead.

So who is, you know, Egg McMuffin that's running against him?

Well, he's going to give you the lowdown on Egg McMuffin.

And when you find out who this guy really is and what his plan really is,

it is

really obvious.

Very obvious.

Also, Blake Masters.

Some news on Blake Masters.

Yeah, it looks like his libertarian opponent has dropped out and endorsed Blake Masters.

So that race is really, really key and crucial in the Senate, when the race for Senate control.

We can get into that as well today.

Dennis Brager joins us.

Dennis Brager, Mike Lee joins us.

Also, we have the affidavit.

In fact, we start the podcast with the affidavit.

That has a couple of...

strange problems.

It might work out to be nothing, but a couple of things in the affidavit that don't really seem right.

Do they?

No.

Yeah.

Not at all.

By the way, we also have the election night coverage coming up on Blaze TV.

Make sure to be part of that, blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Gosh.

Hello, Stu.

Glenn, how are you?

Oh,

my.

Wow.

I just.

One week until the election.

One week.

And we've got some big news.

Big news and a lot of election coverage today.

And

also, Dennis Prager us today.

So it's going to be a great show.

Okay, let me give you just some of the highlights from the affidavit, the important part of the affidavit.

This is the story now from the police

that

Paul Pelosi

had a break-in at his house, and they arrested this guy named De Pepe.

And he...

He spilled his guts.

He sang like a bird.

As soon as they read him his Miranda writes, and here's what he said.

De Pepe said he pulled a hammer from Pelosi's hand and swung the hammer, striking Pelosi in the head.

Now, I want to go back just a little bit here because I need you to hear what the police said at first.

At 2.31 a.m.

San Francisco Police Department, the officer Colby Wilms responded to the Pelosi residence, knocked on the front door.

Now listen to this, because this is odd.

When the door was opened, Pelosi and De Pape were both holding a hammer with one hand and De Pape had his other hand holding onto Pelosi's

forearm.

Pelosi greeted the officers.

Now wait a minute.

Hang on a second.

First of all, what do you mean the door was opened?

Who opened the door?

Was Stretch Armstrong there?

How did...

What happened?

Who opened the door?

And when they opened it, Pelosi and De Pape were both holding a hammer with one hand.

De Pape had his other holding onto Pelosi's forearm.

So we know it couldn't be De Pape that opened the door.

And again, unless Pelosi is Stretch Armstrong, who opened the door?

Pelosi greeted the officers.

Hey, how are you guys doing?

The officers asked

was going on.

De Pepe responded that everything was good.

Officers then asked Pelosi and De Pepe to drop the hammer.

Here's the affidavit now.

De Pepe pulled a hammer from Pelosi's hand and swung the hammer, striking Pelosi in the head.

Officers immediately went inside and were able to restrain De Pepe.

While the officers were restraining De Pepe, Pelosi appeared to be

unconscious on the ground.

Officers removed a cell phone, cash, clipper cards, and an unidentified card from De Pepe's right shorts pocket.

So he wasn't in underpants.

He was in shorts.

De Pape provided officers his first and last name.

After officers asked De Pepe if he had ID on him, De Pepe said, Yeah, it might be in my backpack on the back porch.

He later stated, My backpack's near the broken glass, dudes.

When officers removed De Pepe from Pelosi's residence, police body-worn camera footage showed a glass door that appeared to be laminated glass broken near the door handle.

San Francisco Police Department uncovered zip ties in the Pelosi bedroom and also in the hallway near the front door of the Pelosi residence.

In addition.

In

addition, law enforcement searched Depe's backpack at the Pelosi residence.

They found, among other things, a roll of tape, white rope, one hammer, one pair of rubber and cloth gloves, and a journal.

So there were two hammers, but one was in the backpack.

Witness statements.

San Francisco police officer Colby Wilms was able to interview a witness, Witness One, who saw an individual all in black carrying a large black bag on his back walking near the Pelosi residence where Witness One was parked.

Okay, so hang on just a second.

So if he was all dressed in black,

did he put

blackface on his legs?

Because we just found out he was wearing shorts.

Okay.

Well, you could be dressed in black and have your very white skin show up.

Yeah, it would be weird.

That's what we're doing today.

Yeah, witness number one was working private security and an address nearby.

Witness one then heard what he sounded like a banging on either the door or a car and heard sirens within a minute or two.

Pelosi was interviewed by the police officer

Adrian Stark in the ambulance during the transport San Francisco General Hospital.

Pelosi stated he had never seen De Pape before.

Pelosi was asleep when he came into his bedroom and stated he wanted to talk to Nancy.

When Pelosi told him that Nancy was not there, he said, well, he just sit and wait.

When he then said,

Nancy's not going to be home for several several days, DePape reiterated he would wait.

Pelosi was then able to go into the bathroom, in which he was able to call 911.

He stated when the officers arrived, that was when DePape struck him with a hammer.

In subsequent interview with law enforcement officers, he said that the hammer did not belong to the Pelosi family.

In a mirandized and recorded interview by the San Francisco police, De Pape stated he was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her.

If Nancy were to tell De Pape the truth,

he would let her go.

If she lied, he was going to break her kneecaps.

De Pape was certain that Nancy would not have told the truth.

In the course of the interview, De Pape articulated

he viewed Nancy as the leader of the pack of lies told by the Democratic Party.

De Pepe also later explained that by breaking Nancy's kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other members of Congress there were consequences to actions.

De Pepe also explained generally that he wanted to use Nancy to lure another individual to De Pape.

De Pape

stated that he broke into the house through the glass door, which was a difficult task and required the use of a hammer.

De Pape stated that Pelosi was in bed, appeared surprised by De Pape.

De Pape

told him.

me.

Yeah.

De Pepe told Pelosi to wake up.

De Pepe told Pelosi that he was looking for Nancy.

Pelosi responded.

She wasn't present.

Pelosi asked how they could resolve the situation and

let's see.

And what De Pepe wanted to do.

He stated he wanted to tie Pelosi up so De Pepe could go to sleep as he was pretty tired because he had to carry a backpack to the residence.

Doesn't that seem like your average hippie?

Man, I had to walk up all these hills.

I'm sleepy why don't you you keep your eye out for the coppers while i take a nap around this time depended taking out twist ties from his pocket so he could restrain pelosi pelosi moved towards another part of the house but depe stopped him together they went back to the bedroom while talking with each other pelosi went into the bathroom where he grabbed a call a phone to call 911

he said depend he felt like pelosi's actions compelled him to respond he remembered thinking there was no way police were going going to forget about that phone call.

De Pape explained he did not leave after Pelosi's called a 911 because, much like the American founding fathers with the British, he was fighting against tyranny without an option of surrender.

Okay, now here's the interesting thing.

De Pape stated that they went downstairs to the front door.

The police arrived and knocked on the door, and Pelosi ran over to open it.

Pelosi then grabbed onto DePape's hammer, which was in De Pape's hand.

At this point in the interview, he repeated that De Pape did not plan to surrender and he would go through Pelosi.

Okay, so wait, I'm just, why would you go back to the hammer?

Police are there.

Why would you go back to the hammer?

That doesn't make any sense.

There's something wrong with the door thing.

I don't know what it is, and it might be just an error somewhere, but

there's something wrong with that.

We should eventually know.

We should see the video, right?

We should see the video.

Now, when he's talking about founding fathers, that's weird because remember that thing we fixed after 9-11 when people overstay their visas?

You know, we kick them out right away so we know who's here because that was so important.

I was very concerned about security.

And Department of Homeland Security, that's what they do.

This guy,

long time overstay, he's a Canadian.

He's an illegal alien from Canada.

So he's really into our founding fathers.

This hippie that has Black Lives Matter

on his house?

Really?

It's an interesting profile of a person.

I'll tell you that.

It sure is.

It sure is.

My guess is he's crazy.

But I just want to point out how good it is of the media.

You know, they haven't figured out the January 6th pipe bomber.

Can't find him.

Don't know where he is.

Don't know who he is.

What?

Yeah, we have video, but what are we going to do with video?

I mean, it's not like we have facial recognition or anything like that.

We couldn't track.

He's on the phone at the time.

There's no way we could triangulate and find out, you know, where he was, who he was by just using a phone like that.

Of course, we haven't found the Supreme Court leaker, leaker, a single one of Epstein's clients.

We don't know the motive of the Las Vegas shooter,

but

Paul Pelosi, that midnight visitor, man, they knew he was a Republican that fast.

And it was, it's good to know.

It's good to know.

By the way,

The mainstream media, and here's the problem.

The mainstream media picks and chooses.

If it was, you know, fair and honest and balanced and they told the truth about everything, you know, you wouldn't have this argument.

But,

you know, the right wing is out of control.

It's weird because

I don't think it was the ones who

was responsible for burning cities down and hundreds of attacks on Republicans.

So, I mean, I don't know if you know this, but there are 639 receipts receipts for their violence and mass shooting.

There was the time that Jane Fonda promoted kidnapping, caging, and raping Baron Trump.

I love that one.

That was a super favorite.

They attacked Roger Stone's handicapped wife while walking a dog, vandalized the homes of political opponents, tried to kick in the front door of Tucker Carlson, a journalist that stabbed two Trump supporters,

the home of a Trump supporter that was bombed.

They drove through a crowd of Trump supporters.

They've left dead animals and threats outside of Republican homes.

They've threatened to burn down the homes of Trump supporters, shot at Trump supporters, fired a gun at a march, beat a 77-year-old for wearing a MAGA hat, threatened Republicans on Twitter every day, sent ricin to Trump, taught leftists to hate students.

They've defaced property of Trump supporters.

They egged children at a Trump rally.

Teachers threatened death on GOP.

They've beaten a 12-year-old boy for a Trump sign, beat a woman for wearing a Trump hat.

They've destroyed property.

We have 300 stories like that.

Just thought I would.

You know, but that

real quick, that New York Post hacker last Friday, the guy who wrote Rufo, he took over the feed of the New York Post.

He worked at the New York Post.

He's apologized.

He said, man, it was just the utmost betrayal of

my people.

I, you know, pretended to hack into the New York Post website.

And, you know, it was my job, but I let my stupidity get the best of me.

But I want you to know I deserve to get fired, but it wasn't politically motivated.

Let me just give you a few of the posts.

Rufo, we must destroy and imprison union teachers.

Zeldin, Eric Adams is New York City's fried chicken-eating monkey.

Governor Abbott, I'll order Border Patrol to start slaughtering illegals.

Zeldon, I'll rape and batter Hochul's sorry ass.

The New York Post, he also posted, we must assassinate AOC for America.

Devine, we must murder Joe and Hunter Biden.

The New York Post that he posted, Frank, I'll beat up the sorry-ass Bergen bitches like Gottheimer and his family.

I don't know why people say that those were politically motivated.

I mean, maybe there's the slightest hint of politics involved, but it's difficult to detect unless you're really a trained observer.

Yeah, yeah.

I could go on.

I have 135 attacks on pro-life people

just between May 3rd and September 24th.

But remember,

it is the Republicans that are conspiracy theorists.

One more thing.

Just one more thing.

I'm sorry.

Kathy Hochl has come out yesterday with a very important

thing.

She says that the people who mention you know, anything to do with the race being fixed, data deniers and conspiracy theorists.

She said these are master manipulators.

And, you know, there's a conspiracy that they're peddling now, that

there's this conspiracy going all across America to convince people that in Democratic states, they're not safe.

Wow, what a conspiracy that is.

Who's the conspiracy theorist?

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Adia Wishner is joining us now.

She's from Yes for Life, Kentucky.

She's a chairwoman.

And there is a constitutional amendment number two

in Kentucky.

And it is really important.

Representative Massey told me about it.

And so we wanted to get Adia on with us.

Hello, Adia.

How are you?

I'm great, Glenn.

Thank you for having me on today.

You bet.

And now explain what Amendment two

is.

On November 8th, Kentuckians, when they go to the poll, they will have a choice facing them, which is a pro-life amendment on our state constitution.

We have two amendments proposed.

Amendment 2 will explicitly affirm that the Kentucky Constitution contains no right to abortion or the government funding of abortion.

It allows this amendment, very simple language, extremely simple.

And the response, of course, is yes, as we're trying to, but I'm going to read it to to you, to protect human life.

Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.

Okay, I would vote for that.

What is the mood of the state in Kentucky about abortion?

Because would that take away the right for rape and incest?

Well,

again,

at this level, at a constitutional level, it leaves all of that up to the lawmakers that make the laws and make policy surrounding abortion.

So what you're saying is

it has to go into the House and the Senate and the governor because the Constitution is silent on it.

Or not silent on it.

It does not address it at all, right?

Right.

And you can't have then radical judges trumping up sometime trying to find, let's say, a right to abortion where there is none in the Constitution and trying to use that.

We're already, we've got court cases because we've got a trigger law.

Kentucky has a rich, rich history.

It's part of the fabric of who we are that we have protected life, going back to the first laws on the books of 1910.

Of course, as those were reaffirmed in 1973, Roe, the Roe court decision, put suspended all across the country all the state laws.

Since then, there have been subsequent laws created and made, and we've been in the courts ever since.

I served in the House, and in 2018, we passed a law banning live dismemberment.

Next to partial birth abortion, the most gruesome form of abortion.

We have been in the federal courts since 2018 on it, four years fighting that issue.

I have to tell you,

I mean, Adia, you know, everybody has their own lines, but when it comes to dismemberment and partial birth abortion and birthday abortion,

my gosh,

I can't believe that

a party, not the fringes, but the party would actually stand up and say, yes, that's what we're for.

There used to be, you know, at least people were lying when they said, oh, no, no, no, we don't want that.

Now there's just no shame.

There's no fear of,

I don't know, eternal damnation of saying I want to dismember a baby.

Well, and that's the concerns.

We will be fighting all of those issues in the courts because they're going to come back up.

You know, they often ask if they're a compromise.

We have a trigger law that referred back to our original laws in the books protecting the life of the mother and the bodily integrity.

We're in the courts right now.

We're in the courts over a heartbeat on the state level since the overturning of Roe.

Right now, there are no abortions taking place in Kentucky,

but because we've got the constitutional amendment, we're in the courts and they're waiting for the decision so we can return back to the courts a week after the constitution, the election.

But, you know, basically voting yes.

will say that every human, including babies in the womb, deserve the most fundamental human right, the right to life.

It will ensure that Kentucky's Human Life Protection Act and the Heartbeat Law and other pro-life laws continue to prohibit the killing of unborn children in the womb.

It will allow our

representatives, our House and Senate members, not active judges, to make those decisions for the people of Kentucky, the people who are elected to represent them.

And it's also going to protect our taxpayer dollars because One thing has always been clear, no matter what side of this issue you may rest on, the citizens do not want their taxpayer dollars funding abortion.

That has broadly been supported in a bipartisan manner.

It is,

you know, it's

awful

and

really causes me

great grief to pay my taxes, knowing that some of my money is going to pay for abortions or to fly people for abortions.

It's obscene.

We've always said we were against that, and the federal government has just gone into it.

And

if a state is doing it,

I

saw we saw this year the battle over the Hyde Amendment has to be affirmed on a federal level

with every budget.

It's a process, right?

And we saw the debate over that.

And there are 16 states that we know, 15 or 16, that currently do use taxpayer dollars.

We've voted that in by the members of the General Assembly, Assembly, have strongly said we won't.

But we need to affirm it in our Constitution.

I mean, we're talking about keeping, making sure that our Constitution reflects Kentucky's values.

The amount of money pouring into this state from radical outside entities is unbelievable.

From California,

former mayor of New York, Mayor Bloomberg, from Massachusetts, from those who want to undermine the values of Kentuckians.

So is this well publicized?

Do people understand it in Kentucky?

We have been working, we formed an alliance of partners right after this piece of legislation that would put this on the ballot formed, and that's with the Catholic Conference, the Kentucky Baptist

Convention, the

Family Foundation, my organization, which is Kentucky Right to Life, and we have chapters throughout the state, the Commonwealth Policy Center, and Sisters for Life.

We formed a coalition and we began educating the public.

What's amazing is how much money we knew we'd be outspent, but they have outspent us five to one, how much money they would pour into Kentucky to undermine the votes of Kentucky citizens.

The grassroots in Kentucky, it's amazing.

Pastors and individuals, people putting up large billboards in their own communities, running ads in their local papers, and speaking, you know, within the context, because this doesn't fall under the Johnson Amendment.

You can speak about this a church.

So it allows that because it's a ballot and an immoral initiative.

Well, I will tell you that

nothing is banned by the Johnson

initiative.

That's a fallacy.

I'd love for that to be tested

because

we're the only ones that abide by that.

The Democrats never do.

Adia, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention.

It's amendment two in Kentucky, a constitutional amendment number two.

It needs to pass.

You would vote yes on that if you would like to get the courts out of your face.

There's also something else,

and it's being, it's

a very rare letter

to all Detroit parishioners of the Catholic Church.

The Archbishop warns of an extreme abortion initiative.

It's It's proposition or proposal number three.

It's the reproductive freedom for all constitutional amendment.

The Archbishop says it would have a vast and extreme consequence for Michigan if it passes.

The Archbishop said, turning the state into ground zero for abortion extremism in the United States.

He said, if you live in Michigan, you would vote no on proposal three.

It's 50-50 right now, and it is going to be our churches that make the difference.

People who are people of faith and churches that are speaking out about these things

are going to make all the difference in the world.

So, again, constitutional amendment in Kentucky, that's number two, yes.

And if you live in Michigan, when it comes to proposal number three,

you want to vote no.

The best of the Glen Bank program.

Dennis Prager, my friend, how are you?

My standard answer for the last few years,

since I'm asked it a lot doing a talk show, as you well know, my standard answer has been better than my country.

Okay, well, you know, have a downer that is.

That was a great one.

So let me ask you, Dennis.

Yes, wait, wait, wait.

I want to ball over that.

It is a downer.

I agree with you.

But

the problem is it's true.

No.

It is crazy how fast we have hit the skids here.

I mean,

it is getting faster and faster every day.

And

I think God's protection has been removed, and we're just going over a cliff.

Well, you know, we're both religious men, and

I just completed the third volume of my five-volume Bible commentary, so I'm into this stuff.

It's an interesting question about God's protection.

I have a slightly different view, and I'm very God-centered, as you well know.

I believe that God gave us the formula for a good world.

And if we screw it up, he allows us to do so.

Correct.

So

I don't know how much he is the actor.

I know.

Look, I want to make sure.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I want to make sure, because that sounds like a deist point of view, that God's a watchmaker and just hands-on.

No, no, no.

Okay, it's a very fair question.

I am the opposite of a deist.

God knows me.

God knows you.

God judges me.

God judges you.

God cares about our activities.

God

in his time intervenes, but I cannot rely on his intervention.

Oh, no.

That's all I'm saying.

Yeah, so

let me see if we're saying the same thing, because I believe that unless we are, you know, it's like God, God's like the ultimate dad, just saying, Hey, look, my house, my rules.

And, you know, that's going to leave a mark.

Don't, don't, don't run down the stairs.

You're going to trip and you're going to fall.

It's going to leave a mark.

And then you just keep doing it and you trip and fall.

And your dad is there to comfort you and make you feel better, but he's not going to save you from doing stupid things.

And until we recognize what we've done and apologize and humble ourselves, ourselves, there's nothing he can do

because we need to feel the pain of our own actions.

Right.

That's exactly.

That's exactly right.

So neither of us is a deist.

There's a God who knows what is happening.

Right.

But

my

major message of all of my life, because every so often I sit back on my show and I reflect.

So

what have I really pushed for the last 40 years as as a talk show host?

And I have an answer, and I've been giving this answer all of these years.

My primary message is you need to know the consequences of secularism.

And that too few religious people are making that case.

They make the case for faith, but they don't make the case for the consequences of secularism.

And I have found that that is a more effective way of intellectually winning people over to a God-centered life.

Make that case.

Yes.

So

actually there's a line from Chesterton that summarizes it.

There are many different ways of putting it, but here's one.

When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing.

They believe in anything.

Right.

And we are living that anyone who says men give birth is an ode to the power of religion.

Hang on just a second.

Hang on just a second.

I have to play something that we found.

We've had it in our archive.

We played it at the time, and it is so appropriate to play right here.

Here's Dennis Prager.

What was it, five years ago?

Yeah, play the clip.

Yeah.

Listen to this.

These are giant left-wing lies.

We're talking about degrees.

To say that men can menstruate is a lie.

And that is now, that is what is said.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hey, Randy, that's heard it.

You'll never heard it.

Check it out, folks.

Check it out.

Anyone who says a man would not menstruate was considered transphobic.

I missed this whole story.

You did?

I did.

Are you trying to?

Tell me where you are.

Where are you getting that?

Just Google it.

Can men menstruate?

But who is saying this?

You're talking about very small.

Really?

Then how do you allow men, biological men, to run against women in the races in Connecticut and set all the high school records?

Okay, I know.

But that's...

They're called men.

The nation that said they're they're women.

Stop.

Here they are making fun of you, Dennis, just a few years ago.

And

we've been saying these kinds of things from the beginning.

And

I want to know from you, what are your thoughts on they go from laughing and saying that's ridiculous to then being the ones that line up and say you're a transphobe and doing exactly what you predicted.

It shows you the speed with which a

brainwash when people don't have

a foundation of reality can take place.

The speed.

This was, by the way, you said five.

I just want you to know it's exactly three years ago.

Oh my gosh.

It was

November 2019, right before the lockdowns.

Oh my god.

That said three years ago.

I was laughed at on national television because I came up with this absurdity that men, that people say men menstruate.

And now, as I pointed out, as you just pointed out,

if you deny that men menstruate, you're a hater.

So there are so many lessons here.

First of all, as I wrote many years ago, the left keeps me religious.

My road to God is not the typical one.

The consequences of the death of God make me more religious than any specifically religious thing in and of itself, other than the study of the Bible, which is why I'm writing my Bible commentary.

But

that's what has...

Let me put it to you this way.

If the anti-religious left, and the left since the French Revolution has hated religion,

if the anti-religious left produced good people, rational people, fine people, a world of goodness and gratitude and all the good things, I would would find my religiosity challenged because I would say, look, the people who hate religion produce such marvelous results.

But the fact that the people who hate religion are sick puppies and bad

in most cases and are utterly destructive since.

And

you're not talking about necessarily atheists.

You're talking about people who hate religion.

That's correct.

They were wonderful atheists.

That's exactly right.

Absolutely.

And there were some not so terrific religious people.

Yes.

But here, here's another way of putting my answer to your question.

There is no wise secular institution.

And the most absurd secular institution is the university.

The university is proof.

that the death of God leads to idiocy.

It is.

You're right.

If you don't believe, I mean, Nietzsche said this.

You don't believe, we've killed God.

God's dead.

Be careful because people are going to have a God, and we are now worshiping.

I think we are on the verge of actually satanic worship.

I mean, it's coming.

There was this video.

Do we have that video from yesterday?

There's this video out of Texas where there was this, I don't know, street fair, and the Texas

satanic temple was set up, and people are getting unbaptized.

And as they do it, the guy says, Pray Satan, and the guy receiving the unbaptism, saying it right back to him.

It's nuts.

Well, you know, one doesn't even have to believe literally in Satan.

Right.

Use the term to describe the removal of girls' healthy breasts because they say at 18 or earlier that they that they are a boy.

That

I have to admit, as a religious Jew, Satan is not something that is part of normative Judaism.

However, I have come to take the idea at least seriously because there's no other way to explain the evil that has overtaken children's hospitals.

The medical profession is not the friend of my society, and it is now abusive of children in a way that no one could have imagined 10 years ago, let alone 50.

That

the number is now, what is it, between the ages of 17 and 25, we're approaching a half million kids who say they are the other sex.

You can't be the other sex.

I mean,

the enormity of the evil is only equaled by the enormity of the lie.

It is, it's remarkable, Dennis.

This happening

in our medical community, and that's not the only thing.

They're talking about, you know, how can I treat a hater if they come in to receive treatment?

If they haven't had their vaccine shots, we should let them die, no treatment for them.

I mean, we are seeing the beginnings of the stuff that happened over in Europe a century ago.

And

the same people are doing it.

The medical establishment and progressives are going right down

the same place, the same road.

So it would appear.

It's very painful to me.

I have a wonderful brother

who's a professor of medicine at an Ivy League University.

He's a very, very good man.

So it's very painful for me to attack the medical profession.

Doctors have saved my life.

Oh, yeah, me too.

They've saved, yes, exactly.

So I can chew gum and walk at the same time.

But the profession as such is so corrupt.

The American Medical Association has announced, the American Medical Association, I repeat, has announced that the sex of a newborn should not be listed on the birth certificate.

Because

they have now subscribed the American Medical Association to the notion that human sexual identity is non-binary.

I mean, it's so dangerous.

Well,

dangerous is an understatement.

We're

entering the realm of the preposterous as normative in the sciences.

But why does that medical?

Why is that more than dangerous?

Because I describe it as dangerous.

You say it's more.

What happens if that if we go continue down this line?

That's very fair.

What is worse than dangerous?

Actively destructive.

Dangerous is, you know,

if you

go through a red light, but if somebody now manipulates the lights to be red when they should be green, that's active destruction.

The medical profession is engaged in active destruction.

Scholars went back years ago and they tried to figure out who

really influenced the founders and our founding documents.

The number one source was the Bible.

Out of that, by far, the number one source was Deuteronomy.

We have our good friend Dennis Prager, host of the Dennis Prager Show and founder of Prager University, here to tell us all about Deuteronomy.

It's from his series on the rational Bible, the rational Bible, Deuteronomy.

Welcome, Dennis.

Well,

I'll begin at the beginning.

I have a statement that you'll find,

you Glenn, will find of particular interest, I think.

And

this is the way I'd put it.

I don't believe in the Torah.

That's the first five books of the Bible.

And they're considered first among equals

in Judaism.

The whole Bible is holy, but the first five books.

have a unique significance and they did to Jesus as well.

Jesus cited Deuteronomy the most outside of Psalms.

And

the founders cited Deuteronomy more than any book.

Second place was Montesquieu, the French Enlightenment thinker.

So it's even more than secular work.

So here's my saying:

I don't believe in the Torah because I believe in God.

I believe in God because I believe in the Torah.

The first five books, which have everything

that is ultimately to follow, Love your neighbor, love God, the Genesis, the Exodus, the Ten Commandments, the Garden of Eden.

It's all there in the first five books.

And if people understand them,

they will take God

seriously and they will gain immeasurable wisdom.

So it's been my life project, since I know Biblical Hebrew very well, it's a blessing in my life,

to write a commentary on the first five books.

Genesis and Exodus are out, and now Deuteronomy has just come out.

So,

Dennis,

when the two founders were saying we missed too much Deuteronomy, we didn't put enough Deuteronomy in there.

We've got about 90 seconds before the break, and then we'll come back and get

some more insight.

But

what do you think they were talking about?

Deuteronomy has the most laws in the Torah.

All the laws of the Bible are in the Torah, the first five books.

There are 613, to be precise.

And Deuteronomy has approximately 240.

It's Moses' summary of everything that transpired, both the events and the theology,

and

to cite a third, even though I use the word both,

the summary of these laws.

And when we come back,

I will give examples.

Well, I give one now because we have the time.

There's a phenomenal statement.

If you seek him, you will find him.

That alone is worth the reading of Deuteronomy.

And you see, people think that faith comes to you sort of like falling in love.

You'll fall in faith.

There is nothing worthwhile in life that you don't have to work for.

And that is therefore one of my favorite lines in Deuteronomy and in the Bible.

If you seek him, you will find him.
