"The Dennis prager show. Yeah, this is fundraising month. Please help us help this country. PragerU dot com, whatever you give this week will actually be tripled. You have a $100. It's 300. Prager U dot com. So I'm looking at the USA Today winners of women of the year one from each state. So the nominees for, I guess, the national title. And the one from Nebraska, I thought was a perfect example of how left wing people think. She says young people have the answers they have the solutions. Through her work with a nonprofit focused on empowering young people she's determined to elevate their voices. What we need are elevated voices. What they need is wisdom, kids. Direction. Not we need to hear what you have to say. Sorry, we need to hear what they have to say only to know how we can help them develop. But not because they have the solutions. By the way, I looked on the list, I always get a kick out of these things. So I want you to know about the winner from Oregon. Her name is ticket, bramlett, TI, QU. Which is an incredible coincidence because my technical director's sister is named, and I never met another take. How is to catch on? No, it's not a place. It's a name of a person. Okay. By the way, he doesn't have a system named to I never met it to catch, but that's fine. It doesn't matter. I just, I love names, and I'm commenting. My comment is not about her name. My comment is about the brief bio underneath her name. Why she was nominated by USA Today, a bastion of depth. To be the woman of the year from the state of Oregon. The first black woman appointed to oversee a U.S. winery. This is caused a certain degree of mirth in the engineers studio. Do you realize the left if they didn't do so much damage would be a joke? The woman is the first black woman. To be appointed to oversee a U.S. winery. Words elude me, this is a moment that America must celebrate. I'm not mocking her at all, by the way. I'm mocking USA Today just for the record. Well, well, I will say this, though, we've really not a reached, we've not reached left wing near vanna quite yet. She may be the first black woman to oversee a U.S. winery, but there is still more glass ceilings to be broken. There are still more. Because we need the first black lesbian to oversee a U.S. winery. That has not yet happened. And that is reason for some degree of despair and hope at the same time since we are shattering glass ceilings. USA Today is pathetic. What they live in their hermetically sealed universe, wherein that is the reason to be honored as the woman of the year from Oregon. I will note, of course, that I think I read or at least skimmed the bios of all 50 winners, and I came across none with any religious affiliation. Because in the world of the left, somebody who was done something in Christian or Jewish life religiously oriented is a waste. The person is regarded essentially as a superstitious fool on the left. So there isn't one of the 50. That does anything religiously oriented. One a prager 7th 7 6..

"The last thing kids need to think is that they are repositories of great insight. What you do is you produce leftists because of the narcissism at the root of leftism. There's I'll give you another example of this. I did last week. The lieutenant governor of, oh my God, I can't believe it. Will it be Minnesota? Yes. I truly be United States. The lieutenant the lieutenant governor is Peggy flanagan. Good parents believe kids when they quote tell us who they are. That's right. That's a fascinating thing. That was her message. You want to play it Sean? This is the lieutenant governor of Minnesota. Because let's be clear, this is life affirming and life saving healthcare. The gender. When our children tell us who they are. It is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them. That's so interesting. Isn't that. What I thought the job of a grown-up was, in fact, to offer their best insights into life to them. So if your ten year old daughter says she's a boy, that's what a good parent does. You believe them. I believe you're a boy. Okay? We'll see in the long run whether that was a truly good response on the part of parents, certainly every left wing parent believes that, and probably most liberals as well. I don't think most conservative parents think that if your daughter says she's a boy, you're responsible. Of course you're a boy. Why would I think anything else? I want to tell you something. If all the adults in children's lives today said no, you are what your sex is. You are a boy and God, if you believe in God or nature, if you believe in nature, made you that way. And that's it. There's no such thing as becoming the other sex. If you have emotional psychological or mental issues, let's treat them. But we're not going to cut off your genitals or your breasts, we're not going to give you hormone blockers, the fact is you're a girl. That is in most cases the best response of a loving parent. If the whole parental role is to listen to what your kids say, what the hell do we need parents for? We shall return momentarily one 8 prager 7 7 6..

"A lot more on this coming up. When I leaned into know so there is a fixation on youth because there is no fixation on wisdom on the left. If there were, there would be no left. Wherever there is wisdom there is no leftism. There can be liberalism and there can be conservatism, but there can not be leftism. And wisdom is generally regarded as more likely in adults than in children. There are wise children because they were given wisdom. I wrote a column on this, I don't know, the last 6 months. That. Offered the idea that there is there was more wisdom in my elementary school or my high school, I think I wrote high school. Then on the faculty of almost any university of this country, including a leap prestigious schools like Stanford. Again, I wrote, and I believe that I and many of my classmates at yeshiva, a Jewish religious school. Had more wisdom as juniors in high school than the faculty of Stanford University. And the reason is we were taught wisdom and these secular people were not. So part of this wisdom issue is the adulation of youth. So I was reading the bios of the women of the year nominees from each state from USA Today virtually all of whom, as I noted to you, are left wing activists. But this woman really struck me the bio and I will read it to you once more. And she disappeared for a moment, come back, miss Kelly. No, no, miss Clark. Mickey Clark of Nebraska. She says young people have the answers they have the solutions. Now that's amazing. Young people rarely have the answers and solutions that have eluded adults. But to people with little wisdom, kids have an equal amount of wisdom. That's why it was generally liberal activists who wanted the voting age change from 21 to 18. I didn't, and I was 18 at the time. I remember, and I mentioned this, I said to my girlfriend at the time, and I was a freshman in college, I said to her, why are they giving me the vote? I don't know anything. I remember saying that to her. And I wasn't some great outburst of humility. It was just a fact and by the way, I was an avid reader, but I just assumed that people three years older knew more and could vote more intelligently. Through her work with a nonprofit focused on empowering young people, that scares me, empowered young people, wow. Really? And give me examples in history where empowering young people led to a better and kinder and finer and wiser society. Not sure I know, I know where that might have been. Tyrannies empower young people that I do know. Come some old, the Soviet youth league have Hitler youth in Germany, and so on. She's determined to elevate their voices..

"Let me understand the nonprofit empowering young people. Why would you want to empower young people? Why would you even say it's an amazing quote that young people have the answers they have the solutions? Why would an adult say that? And I have the answer. Because adults who say that do not have any more wisdom than children. So they think children have the answers. Because they are indistinguishable from children. That is that aside from politics, politics is the primary reason that Democrats want to make the vote available to younger and younger people because they will get more and more votes that way, but aside from that, this notion of you have so much to learn from young people, which is not true. It's just not true. Unless you are a wisdom, what would be the word absent a wisdom absent adult, which is most adults, unfortunately. Especially those who graduate college, which is the anti wisdom center. You know, people ask me very often what influenced me in my life. So here's one of my answers. I grew up in a traditionally religious Jewish home, and I established one for my children as well. And anyone who was attended Shabbat dinner Friday night dinner at any Jews home will know that it goes on for many hours, because the beauty of the Sabbath is this nothing to go to, and especially if you don't rely on electronic entertainment, which we didn't. You just sit there and talk. I think I learned how to think clearly in part at the Shabbat. Dinner, table in my parents house at I'll give you an example, there were just two of us, my older brother, 6 years older and I, 6 years is a lot of time when you are young. It's a difference between college and elementary school, pretty big difference. Anyway, my father and my brother would often have these big discussions at the Shabbat table. And finally, when I thought I was ready, I offered my opinion. I don't know how old I was. 1213, I don't know. But I offered my opinion, and I don't remember the exact word my father said. But he said, Dennis, that's nonsense. And it was one of the best things ever said to me because I learned to critique my thought before I spoke. That was an incredibly important lesson. There was no sense in my family that because you were young, were going to take your ideas seriously. Now, I wasn't insulted. I wasn't humiliated. That's wrong, obviously. But there was not a smidgen of thought all your young, wow. You've got really important things to say. I mean, if you have important things to say at 15, I would presume you'll have even more important things to say at 35. You're not going to stay in the same spot, presumably. So this woman, her whole thing and USA Today and the whole left, they are crazy about kids. Never trust anyone over 30. That was the motto of my moronic baby boomer generation when we were young..

"My technical director asks if gender doesn't matter why do they even have the list. Why do they call it? Well, they it is a tough question. If sex is not binary, why is there a woman of the year at all? It should be humans of the year who happen many of whom happen to look like females. By the way, of the winner for Minnesota, a state that is truly competing with California for the most idiotic state in the union. And that is not an easy, an easy win. It's a tough, tough one. And Washington and Oregon are certainly in the mix, the Oregon education department you will recall announced last year that in Oregon schools, the idea that there is one correct answer in math is white supremacist. That's the Oregon education department. And when we mock that, we are called anti education. So the winner, USA Today's woman of the year for Minnesota is actually a trans woman, and this person transitioned from male to female. A transition. I don't believe it's possible, just for the record. It's either possible or not possible. Can the person subjectively do that person could subjectively do anything? You can transition from white to black or black to white psychologically. But you don't become one because you think you are. And the differences between the sexes are much greater than the differences between the races. Anyway, USA Today picked a person who was a male until 5 years ago. And many people on Twitter have said, this is a further blow against women. Women you're not really women. Because what you think constitutes your womanhood is shared by men who think that they are women or say they are women. So the person is a Lee Fink. And this person is in the Minnesota House of Representatives. One by an astounding 80 plus percent according to USA Today. Well, I guess the transgender transgender are quite popular in Minnesota. But the one that I want to bring to your attention because of a theme that I have talked about, oh, a fair number of times in the past is the adulation of young people on the part of people on the left. So the winner, yes, I read virtually every winner's little bio. The winner from Minnesota, excuse me, from Nebraska. The woman of the year from Nebraska is Vicki Clark. This is what is written under Nikki Clark's photo. She says young people quote have the answers. They have the solutions. Ah. I'll just continue is one more sentence. In the summary of the person's outlook on life, in USA Today,.

"And so thank you. I had to take no credit for hours put together. I didn't understand one thing. How did becoming God centered or religious, whatever term you wish to use affect your view of your self physically? Correct. Because, well, I had never had a boyfriend per se, then there was a boy in the church, she was in the car and I remember seeing him at him, wow, he is so handsome. And then he's starting attention to me. On my end, why he would. Okay, oh, all right, so okay, so I'm understanding better now. By becoming by finding God in your life as it were, you became an attender of church and at church you discover, you were discovered by a handsome boy, so it wasn't that becoming religious per se changed your view of yourself in the mirror. Correct. Okay, fine. I just wanted to make that clear because it didn't make sense to me. And. My preoccupation is making sense. That was very interesting. Okay, so let's get some more thoughts here. Okay, one moment. Yeah. Michelle in Colorado Springs, hello. Hi, Dennis. It's a pleasure to chat with you. Thank you. My thought is that because of human nature, women's looks are valued highly. And there's nothing wrong with that. That's just the way that we were built. So society reflects that, we tend to see the most beautiful women everywhere we look, whether it's on Instagram or the movies or so I think that we have a very high standard to compare ourselves to. And comparison, you know, just sometimes you just can't help it. Right. Interestingly. Yes. So if that makes perfect sense and I suggested that too. So, let me ask you. I'm sorry. I'll go ahead. Do you think that in the past, more women thought they were attractive because there were no pictures, photos, instagrams, et cetera I do, actually, because the only people that you compared yourself to was the people in your village. And, you know, so you probably had a much more realistic sense of whether or not you rated on the attractiveness scale. In Venice, I would be curious to hear if you think that there's an equivalent with men and income and success. Because that's something that society values. You're a bright woman. You're a bright woman, it's radio. I can't comment on your look. I can't comment on your intelligence. Hi, everybody. I'm Dennis prager, wonderful to be with you. USA Today is compiled a list of the outstanding women of 2023 one from each state and few generalized. Women of the year, I have always looked with some contempt at all of these lists that have been that are compiled, I'm far more interested in pre amplifier of the year to be perfectly honest. That would interest me much more than the man of the year, woman of the year or whatever of the year. In the case of USA Today, I checked out virtually every single one with the one sentence or two sentence bios. You could read more on any of them if you want. And virtually every single one is a left wing activist. So it doesn't matter what good you have accomplished or anything else you've accomplished if you are not a left wing activist USA Today. Does not consider you. So.

"Make a what is the term? You make a good catch, is that correct? You make a good catch? Is that the term make? I mean, I know baseball well, but for some reason, he made a great catch. Is that is that the way we put it? Yeah, all right. So the boy will then yell out, hey, did you see that? Did you see that catch? Did you see that pitch? Did you see that kick? Did you see that and whatever he did? A girls would never do that. Did you see what I just did you see that? So maybe there is a factor here. Remember, I'm exploring an issue. I have no agenda in this regard. I have, well, I have a slight agenda. I want women and men to have a realistic assessment of themselves positively and not positively. I mean, know where they could work, do them, themselves. Make an improvement in their lives about their lives and vice versa. Where is their restraint? Now, if you walk around thinking all day, I'm beautiful. It's not a good thing. But if you never realize that you've been given a gift and it'll just be grateful for it, or at least know you have it. It does seem a bit unrealistic not to be aware of it. So that is my question and let's go to Lucy and Gary Indiana. Hello Lucy. Hi there, Dennis. I do love you. I found this question very interesting. You know, because as a youngster, I grew up in New York City. I never thought of myself as beautiful. And it was totally when I get that from, well, my mother had never voiced that to me. I will say that. I was in a broken home. My peers from what I was always outside the group. I was always the one outside of Europe in the grade school, you know, when they give the kids a little boy to give, do you like me or I never got that note? And there were others who did. So to me in my eyes as a youngster that those must be beautiful girls because the boys like them. And so they went through. I never started changing my view until in my 16th year on God came in my life and then as I read about God and his view of me and as I was treated differently in church, I started thinking, well, maybe I am, but it really did become more important to me to become beauty from within. I got those rooms like grandma and I thought, well, if I'm not beautiful outside, I can be beautiful from within. And yet my view of my actual physical being was because, again, of peer pressure from Christians, girls, but boys more. And then, of course, my husband had married three decades over more now, and he makes me feel beautiful. And so I feel now when I look in the mirror now, do I say I'm useful? I say, well, God, I must be good enough looking that I'm where I am..

"So this is truly a question I have wanted to get an answer to. Maybe I can get an answer by the end of the hour. What percentage of women in our society can't speak for other societies? Think they're attractive. Or even more remarkable, what percentage of women think they're very attractive or even beautiful. Now, what percentage of women are very attractive. I think certainly it's a bigger challenge to both men and women. Obviously, as they age, but let's say at age 40. Let alone 30 or 20, so how many women of that age think that they are particularly attractive? If you get around at all, I mean, if you have, let's say you attend banquets for some charity. Or whatever. Obviously interact with more people than most people because of the public nature of my life. I travel almost every week. I speak in front of audiences and I sit at tables. I meet or I see, let's put it that way. A great many quite attractive women. So I would say at age 40 in our society, I would say that 50% are attractive, 25% are very attractive, even verging on the beautiful. Yet what percentage of them, and by the way, it might be more than 50% on the attractive. I'm trying to be conservative in my estimation. But what percentage of them actually think of themselves in that way? One 8th prager 7 7 6, and what prevents a woman from thinking that way. That's of as much interest to me as what percentage think of themselves in that way. What prevents them, there's a very famous cartoon of. A man looking in the mirror into the mirror and a woman looking at the mirror. And the man is overweight and. Not particularly good-looking in any way, and he sees this fantastic looking bodybuilder in the mirror. The woman is particularly good-looking and she sees this very flawed image in the mirror. So putting aside what men see in the mirror versus what women see in the mirror, why don't women see that? Why do they only see their flaws? Now, it's fine to see your flaws, but if you only see that, you have a very inaccurate sense of your attractiveness. So I'm not sure what the reason is. I wonder if is it worse today because of the constant bombardment of extremely attractive women in social media and in other media and then women compare themselves to these 1% of women of the extremely attractive, if you will on the scale of attractiveness extremely very attractive and so on. And therefore, maybe there are more women today who do not think of themselves as attractive because, of the comparison, nature of the term everything is relative in that sense, all adjectives are relative. And is that is that the reason and I, again, I don't know the answer. But I will tell you, it is just become an issue in my life because I see patterns that's my way of looking at life. To see patterns, I understand the individual and I want to understand the individual, but there are patterns in society and my I gravitate towards seeing the forest as at least as much as the trees. Another way of putting it. And if I see a pattern, it is this pattern. Of how many attractive women do not think of themselves as such and if you say this to them, they will be very gracious, and I'm not talking about men bothering women not talking let alone about harassment. I'm talking about real life, even if a woman says it to her. That she will simply think, oh, the person is just being very sweet. But it's just not true. And in my view, it's very worth in life having an accurate self assessment. You know that I don't believe in the self esteem movement. I believe that one should have as accurate a perception of one's self as possible. If you are X, you should know you are X and if you are not X, you should know you are not X and I don't mean to attractive. I mean, about it could be about anything. You know, you know where you excel, you know where you don't excel. When the coach of my high school basketball team announced the final day in the final cuts were made, he announced, well, we're not going to have a good year this year. It looks like this. We really scraped the bottom of the barrel, prager made the team. So I've told that story on a number of occasions, I made the team because I was the tallest kid in high school. And I tell the story because I want I often want to make a point. He, it's true, I was insulted, although it didn't crush me. But I remember thinking the guy's right. They did scrape the bottom of the barrel putting me on the thief. Anywhere I go. I'm Dennis prager. This is the male female hour. Why do so few women think that they are particularly or even attractive? Maybe moderately. So why is that? Is it built in, is there were certain modesty? That is also built into women. Because it may hold true for any positive. Trait. Men, men compliment themselves, for example. This is not a negative. It's just a description, much not only much more. Women don't. Except in one arena which I will get to. But for example, it starts at a very young age when a boy, if you're a boy you, if you're a male, you totally relate to what I'm about to say and even many females, at least those who have raised boys may also be familiar with this. If, let's say your son, let's say you are a boy and you're playing baseball, you don't want a team. And you..

"I'm too contented with my own life and with the world to be a liberal or to be a leftist. Yeah, that's showing. You must keep that. Yes, we are keeping it. I'm speaking to a prager force member in Britain, 17 year old. A 17 year old and he is quite obviously mature as is the case with all of our force that I have interviewed. I don't know if I can't say it for 19,000 people. Elijah nixie Payton is his name. So you post something from the Bible each day and offer about a 150 words on it. And are you gathering somewhat of a following with this? Yeah, it's gaining, I think it's at about follow a day on average, it's something like 70 people I think. That's great. That's really wonderful. On a personal note, you familiar, or do you know that I am writing a Bible commentary? Yes, we have something that I didn't mention before is we have monthly Zoom calls where we've the first one happened and we did genesis one and two and the second one was genesis three and four and somebody who comes to them has your genesis rational Bible. Good. You would love it, by the way, obviously given your understanding of Bible. Do you go to church? I try to. The truth of the matter is that because my mom's Jewish and my dad's Christian and that makes me feel like Jewish and spiritually somewhere in the middle. So I've had somewhat of a difficulty discovering where I fit in that properly. Yes, I would imagine so. So do you on occasion go to synagogue as well? How do you divide your house of prayer attendance? I've tried both. And at times I've led more towards synagogue and at times I've led more towards church. Well. Well, I'll tell you this. On a very personal note, I hope you read my Bible commentary. I think it would you would love it given your interests. Well, all I could tell you is, I thank God for these interviews during March and August when we fundraised for PragerU. Because it gives people such hope for the future, meaning meeting people like you, I wish you good luck and I am sure we will meet one day. I hope that's the case. I'm sorry they have to come for me for hope. That is precious. You may have a future in podcasting. Or a rye comedian. In the best sense, the larger good luck to you. Thank you so much and folks. Please remember whatever you give this week will be tripled, prager U dot com. Hey everybody, it's the male female houry Wednesday. On the Dennis prager show an exploration of men and women, they're interactions and they're not interactions for that matter. I think it's the most honest talk about men and women in the American media. I think I don't know it for a fact, but I don't know of anything. Quite as open. And there are many reasons one I am uninhibited about any subject, including sex, secondly, I am neither a man fan nor a woman fan. I am a good person fan and good people come in both varieties. They were only two varieties sexually speaking male and female. We live in a very dark age that is attempting to tell us one of the great lies of history that sex is not binary. So that's why it is the male female hour not the male female and other. Just for the record. Sometimes I explore issues and sometimes I offer my thoughts on issues and then you react, challenge, agree, question, but I have learned a great deal from my listeners in on the male female hour. And it has been a very wonderful experience to have this hour for now. I don't know, 15 years. It's quite remarkable. So today is an exploration question. How many women think they're good-looking? That's my question. So I have a number of women in my life. And some of them are quite attractive. And if you mention that, they assume or if anyone mentions that. It's the same as if you mentioned that. But I didn't mean if I mentioned it. If anyone mentions it, they regard the person who said it as having been kind. For saying that. But it does not register in them that it might be actually true..

"I didn't know that. Well, by the founders, not in the constitution, but by the founders of the United States. Yes, go ahead. And I clicked on the page and I thought, well, they've got a few interesting videos, so I'll give them a follow. And then you just watch more and more. Yeah. And I found out about the youth equivalent prayer force, and that was, it was interesting, matlock, nice people still meeting most people. Yes, this is a wonderful way for you to meet Kindred spirits around the world. So I read your little bio here and it says that you run the prager force biblical club. I'm prager and didn't know there was a biblical club. So tell me about it. So there was an emergence of a number of different groups, one of them is musical, one of the things I think as a horse riding one, there's a filmmakers and I decided to start a biblical version like those sort of daily quotes, daily versus, and I put a lot of commentary that's about a 150 words. That's sort of almost daily, and then somewhat less frequently, I'll do a him, I'll post to him and on the story, and then very infrequently at the moment, although I plan to do it more often, I will do a link to a current story and people will give that comments on that. Were you raised in a religious home? No particularly no. My parents aren't religious. And would you characterize yourself as religious? Yes. And how did that occur? I read fairly incessantly. And you can't read for very long without encountering some analogy or some reference or something that leads you back to the Bible. And then I decided that I was going to read it so that I could finally understand all the references. And I thought that it was, well, given that there are billions of people on earth who consider it to be not only true, but enough true enough that they structure their lives around it. I thought I was at least going to pay them the benefit of the doubt of accepting all right, well, we'll have some final words on.

"It just starts becomes natural even in American. So do you have in Britain what we have known as homeschooling? Yes, but not nearly to the same extent. There are about 8 million homeschoolers in America and there are about a 100,000 in the UK. Was that at all a temptation for your parents? Not really, it would have been possible through primary school because we don't have middle schools. So primary school goes up to 11 and then high schools from 11 to 18. So it would have been possible through primary school, but the kind of is it as a range of teaching and the just the subject, the content is just so vast that it probably wouldn't be manageable. So your parents in effect trusted that your school, what we would call public school, your school would not threaten the values that they hold and want you to hold. Is that fair to say? Yeah, I mean, both my parents are fairly liberal, but that's interesting. Oh, I did not know that. I have every assumption that you came from a conservative home. Not particularly. I mean, an idea that I think would be worth exporting to America that we have here is grammar schools. So I go to a grammar school, and that means it's a state funded school, but there's an entrance exam in order to get in. So the idea is that their state funded and their setup in communities that are poor communities, and they act as a barrier to entry in order so that both it has to be the parents want the children to get in because they're willing to register for them for the entrance exam and the students have to work hard enough to pass it at the same time. What shaped your movement towards conservatism? I'm too contented with my own life and with the world to be a liberal or to be elastic. Sean, you must keep that. That you have said one of my basic beliefs in life, there are no happy leftists. Not every conservative is happy, but every poll shows what common sense suggests, there is much more happiness in the conservative world than the liberal left world and certainly the left world. Do you have siblings? I don't know. And pertinent to this month, how did you become aware of PragerU? I think it was a video that came up by Instagram timeline if I remember correctly. It may have been your tutor on me why it's hard to love God. How fascinating. And how did you react to that video?

"Talking about PragerU, this is fundraising month for breaker you, march. Whatever you give this week and we're at mid week right now, it will be tripled thanks to generous donors. You have a $100. It's really giving $300. It's an amazing thing. Everything we do is free. You know why it's free? It's important that you understand this. Because we want kids in particular, young people, I wouldn't say kids. Kids too, we have a huge kids department, but we want young people and anyone for that matter to gravitate to PragerU and not have money, stop them. So that we can get new minds and touch them. Every day during fundraising month, I have some young person, usually a young person almost every day. Who is affiliated with PragerU, and it is one of the highlights of the month, certainly because it gives people hope. So I have a prager force member that is 19,000 as I think the latest number of young people around the world, members of what is called prager force. He is 17, and he is British. And he is in the United Kingdom. Elijah, mixy, Peyton. I will ask him if I pronounced his last hyphenated name correctly. He is 17. He runs the prager force biblical club. I didn't even know there was one. I am very happy about that. On Instagram. Well, Elijah, welcome to the Dennis prager show. Hello. And yes, you did pronounce by sending them correctly. You know, nice. So are you in the equivalent of what we would call high school? Yeah, I'm in my senior year of the equivalent. And. British schools have been infected with what we call woke ideology as much as American schools. Not to the same extent I don't think. So I'm not privy to in the same way to what's going on in America, but to what I, from what I hear about it, we don't have the same, we have the same centralized school system, but it's devolved between the different countries here and there are multiple different examples that offer somewhat different curricula. So there's options. So, for example, is the transgender issue an issue in your high school? I don't somewhat. There are about four students which you could say are transgender, but it's not a pressing issue in the UK because there's not well, I guess it is the issue in the UK, but it's not so much an issue in education. It's something like there are greater number of transgender identifying people in the UK, so for example, about 2% of teenage girls, but it's less of an issue in schools because it's just not a common issue in schools. It will become one in a few minutes in a few years when the lawsuits catch up with it, but it will have it's not at the moment. Are you taught that Britain has a history of racism as a big part of your curriculum? No, not in the same way that they are in America because the education system and particularly the history, particularly the teaching of history over the last 15 years, has been tailored more towards British Emancipation and further away from British moral repugnancy. What does that mean British Emancipation? The efforts that Britain has made to liberate the countries that it colonized in the past, the 2000 stunned. In British schools, the dominant idea about Britain is that it has been a force for good. It's not that it's been a force for good. It's still probably taught on net that it's been a force for evil, but it's moved more towards acknowledging at least in terms of the curricula that have been given by the government. It's moved more towards acknowledging various goods that the UK has caused over time. So the net result of British influence in the world is negative, but it is also had positive. Is that a correct read on my part? I think so. That's certainly the impression that I have. Well, it's way ahead of us in America..

In the 20th century, I'm talking about non combatants. Without the left, vast swathes of humanity would have had a road to freedom like South Korea has. Because the left was defeated, in the southern half, of the Korean Peninsula. In the great, never mentioned Korean War. Of the early 1950s. 37,000 Americans died there.

The battles for freedom that have been characteristic of the United States of America. So yes, you want to imagine a better world imagine one. Where your children would go to school and learn how to read and write, and be told that race doesn't mean a damn thing. I couldn't care less what color any of you students are, so it's not going to even be discussed. We will discuss your character. We will discuss how to make you into a good adult. That is the project of adults. I was reading USA Today. As a service as a public service. And they have women of the year nominees from each state. And I don't remember which state I'll dig it up, the woman's whole little bio was about the need to listen to children. Um. Everything about the left is inverted. The greater need is for children to listen to adults. I don't recall adults feeling the need to listen to me. Because I was told that they'll listen to me when I earn their respect by having actual mature fact based opinions. All it says is I am no wiser than children. This listened to the children idea. So you go into class and you say to them. Let's study. I, your teacher, in 5th grade, will bring to you the greatest ideas and thoughts and writings. And music and art that was ever produced. This is a gift of the past to you kids. I will bring that gift to you. That's what a teacher should be doing. Bringing that gift. To his or her students. Instead, they are child wrecking machines.

"All left wing created hysterias. If you induce fear enough in people, they will accept the police state. And now, with the imminent arrest over trivia, for the first time in American history of a presidential candidate, who was president before, an ex-president, over trivia. They can do and will do anything. There is hysteria around Donald Trump. Every day, when I pass a mirror, I still can't believe it. It's me. I'm looking back at myself. I never thought I'd be this fit again, but 42 pounds ago. I decided to take control of my health and with the help of my PhD weight loss and nutrition, I'm so glad I did. The program is simple, doctor Ashley Lucas and her amazing team, customize a plan for your body to make it simple. They even provide 80% of your food at no additional cost. They treat your entire person as one. Doctor Ashley believes that all change starts with the mind. She'll help you to change your behavior when it comes to food and think differently about food so you'll never gain the weight back. Give them a call right now at 864-644-1900 and they can answer all your questions. If I can do it, you can do it. I'm ready. Listen, this is the attack on the quality of life in our country. If it weren't for the left, do you realize how peaceful how much less crime how much less tension how much more enjoyment of life, how much more marriage, how much more courting boys and girls, young men and young women, how many more children and marriage would have taken place. Do you realize without the left? Without the left we would have the greatest interracial relations in any country in the world. Look at the polls about how things were between blacks and non blacks in the United States, blacks saying overwhelmingly things were improving and fine, relatively fine. And then the left came to power and the thing they hate most. Is a peaceful content human and a peaceful and contented society. It is all from the inner existential emptiness that pervades every leftist. People know about these people in their family life. The people who can not abide peace and tranquility. They must always stir the pot. The left always stirs the pot. We are kept at a permanent state of tension solely because of the left, solely. They are bored with peace and quiet and Law & Order they are bored by middle class values. Most people deciding to get married, then raising a family, they can throw up. It actually nauseates the left, not liberals, liberals live, like conservatives. They vote like leftists, and they live like conservatives. Liberals are a tragedy. The left is an evil. But that's what they, that's what they do. And just think, think about that. Think about how much better off the country would be with liberals and conservatives and no leftists. Certainly no leftists in power. The hysteria over the George Floyd, death, it was hysteria. He did not kill Derek Chauvin did not kill the man because he was black. Keith ellingson is the attorney general of Minnesota. He is left wing and he is black and he never brought any charges of racism with all of what was said. It's like there are no charges of insurrection against the people being arrested. For entering the capital on January 6th. It's left wing media induced Democratic Party induced hysteria..

Evidence of which I bring to you every day, every single day. Well, that's my two minds. Why would I be naive as to believe that America could remain a peaceful opportunity giving freedom loving society? And sure enough, half of this country votes for a party that craps on freedom. That's it. That is that is it in a nutshell. And manufactures hysteria is to keep people frightened so that they can do more things to control your life. Look at what they did in COVID. What I called the lockdowns, the greatest mistake in human history, worldwide mistake. I did that in April of 2020. You can see it on the Internet. And then I wrote another column, this is a dress rehearsal for a police state. There's another dress rehearsal for a police state. Not just COVID. The alleged existential threat of carbon dioxide to human life and biological life generally. Is another hysteria. For the sake of changing your life. If they don't control you, they feel that they have an empty life. Do you know how addicts feel, a lot of you know this many of you who have not had an addict in your life does not know this. Or do not know this. And that is this. Can I enjoy life without my preferred addiction? That is what the addict believes life is not enjoyable. Without his addiction, alcohol, drugs, gambling, whatever it might be. They can't imagine they can still enjoy life. There's fun without alcohol, booze. I can't believe it. That is the left. There is no fun. There is no joy in life without a crisis. Without hysteria, without inducing fear and taking over more of people's lives. The quality of life there is a, that has been damaged and will be incredibly damaged because of the hysteria over climate change. And the use of fossil fuels. His hysteria. I'm not saying it's not, there's no truth to it, but it's hysteria. There was truth to COVID. But we had a hysterical reaction. There is that there is a little city in California that has just announced that it will place a severe limit on the number of gas stations in their city. So everybody will have to line up, like they did during the Arab oil embargo, in the 1970s. In the name of transgenderism, the changing of your child's life. To be preoccupied with a gigantic lie that sex is not binary. Yes, little kitty. You may not be a boy, you may not be a girl. You will choose.

You'll also get access to 15 years worth of archives, as well as The Daily Show prep. Subscribe at prager topia dot com. Hello, my Friends. I'm Dennis prager. I am of two minds about the current darkness in which we live, all completely manufactured by people. It was not like we were hit by a comet. Even COVID, the response was devastating. And produced, therefore, by human beings, as in keeping children out of school for nearly two years. So here my two minds about our current situation I have been aware since childhood of the amount of suffering and evil. Have permeated has permeated the human species, since its inception. That is one of the reasons that for so much of my life, until really, I would say three years ago, I was so, so constantly a grateful for being an American because I am aware of the fragility of civilization. And the human species nature, not being a good one, though of course there are. Any member of truly good people, so I walked around most of my life. And anyone who listened to me, for example, knows this. I walked around with a constant, almost befuddled. Amount of gratitude, wow, how did I look out? To be in America and live at this time. That's what I would think. I was just think that. And I was right. It wasn't just that I thought it. Being aware of the ubiquity of evil and suffering. Is what made me that much more grateful for being citizen of this country. So on the one hand, I am profoundly troubled by the attempt to bring down this country and western civilization generally. And. Therefore, I am very sad about it. I am a happy person who is very sad about that. It's like you can be a healthy person and have the flu. So I'm a happy person who was sad about the moment. So what is the other mind? I said I am of two minds. The other mind is well Dennis, what did you expect being human? Did you expect that this would be an easy ride? And that's a compelling argument for understanding that. People are so capable of doing bad. That I shouldn't be surprised. And anyway, look at how bad things were in the past. I'm of two minds about that. Things were so good in this country. With obvious exceptions of evil like racism, it was an evil. And the country did a massive amount. Given that it is the most multi ethnic multicultural, multiracial, multi religious, multinational country in the history of the world. So. Yet even with all of that, just a few years before I was born to give you an idea of the immediacy of it. Well, in fact, there were some of these genocides took place after I was born, like in China. The Holocaust was a few years before I was born. The industrialized murder of every Jewish man, woman and child in Europe that the Nazis could get to and they got to two out of every three. Including virtually all its children. And then I've always noted, in fact, I have a video up at PragerU, why don't people hate communism as much as nazism? Which should be a very telling example of the broken moral compass of humanity. But there are so many young people who think communism is good, who are so utterly and totally ignorant of the greatest mass murder machine in the history of the world, mass murder machine called communism..

How Do Other Nations See Us? Jim Carafano Explains
"With our good friend our Friday Nash security buddy. He is the vice president of the heritage foundation. I hope you remember, go right now, heritage. Jim, you're a 5 O one three year foundation. You do not do politics, but your identity is conservative. We've talked about how other nations look at us in response to the balloon, whatever story. Got to ask you, how do other nations look at us when somebody who says they're conservative was a former chairman of the RNC, says something like this and uses the word fascism in the current context, play cut. But you know what is increasingly becoming a thing? Fascism, from Republican lawmakers appearing alongside Nazi apologists to coup defenders getting plum committee assignments to public expressions of belligerent nationalism and racism. We're getting a pretty clear picture of what fascism can look like in America. The stagnant ineffectual party isn't just about dysfunction. It isn't about it's just isn't about failure to move an agenda. It's about settling partisan score. That's what dictators do. That's the former chairman of the RNC, Michael Steele. From a foreign policy's perspective, what ramifications are there, where the former head of a party says, my party is dictatorial and fascist. Well, you know, it's funny that you ask that question because I was just in two different countries. And in the last two days, I hosted heritage. We hosted a 160 different international visitors in two days. So I've had a lot of conversations. I think that you were a bunch of fascists. Well, this is the thing is there are two minds. One is when they hear that they're saying that's just crass, partisan, ugly, politics. They see through it.

FBI Lashes Out at 'Conspiracy Theorists' Over Twitter Files Criticism
"What happened with Twitter and Twitter's involvement with the FBI and the FBI has now decided they are firing back And I want you to listen to this The statement reads the correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional long-standing and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries As evidenced in the correspondence the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers The men and women of the FBI work every day to protect the American public It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency So I want to talk about this for a moment because I'm of two minds here or at least let's say I have two thoughts on this Number one there are misinformers in real life There are disinformation in real life and what people like to call conspiracy theorists are in fact just that but I think they oftentimes get this connotation that conspiracy theories are not real that people can't conspire or theorize to create a conspiracy about something and that can in fact happen Like we do live in a country where JFK was assassinated That's a real thing One person went to jail for that It's amazing how you could kill a whole president and one guy goes to jail And it just a lot of it seems fishy there's a lot of open doors But again those things are fun and they're very attractive to the imagination so I don't buy into them and jump down every rabbit hole I find

What is Amazon Sidewalk?
"I'm of two minds on this thing. This is something amazon has now Introduced is pushing out to Many of the amazon a gizmos and gadgets in your house like the amazon echo in the ring stuff the ring doorbell and the red cameras and it's a really interesting Idea amazon says amazon sidewalk is a new way to stay connected. Here's the issue. Your y fighting really go passed the house by too much. But wouldn't it be cool if somehow we could put a network not to sell network but a network around neighborhoods. So that for instance if your dog had a tag on it It would see the tag and be able to locate your dog somewhere in the neighborhood. That'd be kind of cool or I'm sure there's some other use for. I'm thinking i can think of some ways Amazon wanna use it. So what they're doing is they're putting a little radio it turns out it's always been there in their devices using technology we call bluetooth low energy. Be ellie it's a nine hundred megahertz Radio so it goes through walls because it actually would go pretty well even selling some stuff designed. I think more to get the network outside than anything else like a mailbox sensor you have one of those rural route mailboxes. We do not mail slot in the door. But it's out you know in the At the end of the driveway you can put the sensor on it. And then you get a little chime on your phone when when the mailbox opened. Oh you've got mail so you know but at the same time when you do that you may realize that rural route mailbox down though driveways it might be too far from the house to get wi fi all but if you had this kind of low grade network low power network all over the neighborhood it would work. That's amazon sidewalk. You can get motion alerts from you security cameras. Even if your wi fi goes down you wouldn't get enough bandwith probably to get video. But you'd least know there was something going on maybe get an image still image You're smart lights at the end of the driveway. Might still be smart pets. Valuables lighting amazon calls the devices that support this. It's called a mesh network because it kind of passes it along as long as one of these devices can see another of these devices that can pass along. The connectivity is very low bandwidth but it does use your network ultimately because at some point one of those devices has to be connected to your home. Wifi amazon says. Oh doesn't use much bandwidth just a little bit. No more than five hundred megabytes months. No more than that it's low bandwith. it's just. It's just so i could see. The convenience in this privacy advocates and people were just incensed by the idea that amazon would without really asking borrow their network are upset. There's a privacy concern. You know and of course amazon get some other benefits. Because i think the real reason is is their trucks. Delivery vehicles are driving around maybe even packages at some point You could pinpoint them within this sidewalk network that if all goes well and it could very well because a lot of people have amazon echos in their houses ring video. Doorbells ring cameras. If it all goes according to plan we can have. This amazon owned low power network. All over all over And you know with great benefit for amazon. I think the probably the real reason amazon is Is they'd know where the delivery trucks are right. I mean they actually really. Let's think about it they. Ups and fedex already have trackers in the trucks. They know exactly where it truck in fact you probably got that text. Your packages nine stops away. Your packages eight stops away. That's because they know exactly where it is so maybe this isn't something of great value. Maybe something you could put in a package though you don't want that's expensive these bluetooth devices. These radios they need power. So you have to put battery and now you're not going to build into a package. Amazon has a white paper on privacy and security and they do a lot of the things one would expect. Honestly if privacy concerns you. This is not a big issue. Compared to the fact that you've got an amazon powered camera and microphone all over the place right and then i'll go straight back to amazon. So this isn't this. I mean this is just a little low power transmitter. There's some there's some value to it. I'm not people are upset about it though. I'm just curious how you feel bad. Because i i don't know you can disable it and maybe this is what is upsetting to people is. It's on by default. it's it's on Automatically right now On your devices so the way you turn this off. You actually have to do something. And it's not that easy. You go into the amazon app. The al that trigger anybody's device. You know the a lax af on your iphone your ipad or your android device half that right and As long as it's the latest version when you click the allen lower right hand corner. There's those lines say more. That's what they hide the stuff they don't really think you're ever going to want to see under more. You'll see see more and more. You'll see settings and then under settings how many clicks are we. Now you'll see account settings who's counting. Are you counting these. Let's see one two three under account settings you'll see amazon sidewalk. That's four clicks. Here you'll find. In some cases. Something says coming soon amazon sidewalk. And it'll describe in a kind of glowing way amazon. Sidewalk is a shared network. That helps devices work better. Sidewalk can help your compatible devices. Automatically connect or reconnect router it can also extend coverage for sidewalk enabled devices such as ring smart lights and pet. An object trackers. Which so far. I don't think amazon selling but maybe at some point they will so they can stay connected and continue to work longer over longer. Distances sidewalk uses a small portion of a small portion of your internet bandwidth to provide these services to you. And your neighbors. Because you're a good neighbor then at the very bottom. What is it five. Six to disable. It doesn't say disable it just says amazon sidewalk. Then there's little switch and then you can turn it off that's how you turn it off. That is not on. it's on by default. You if you have. A sidewalk enabled device. It's on by default.

But you'd least know there was something going on maybe get an image still image You're smart lights at the end of the driveway. Might still be smart pets. Valuables lighting amazon calls the devices that support this. It's called a mesh network because it kind of passes it along as long as one of these devices can see another of these devices that can pass along. The connectivity is very low bandwidth but it does use your network ultimately because at some point one of those devices has to be connected to your home. Wifi amazon says. Oh doesn't use much bandwidth just a little bit. No more than five hundred megabytes months. No more than that it's low bandwith. it's just. It's just so i could see. The convenience in this privacy advocates and people were just incensed by the idea that amazon would without really asking borrow their network are upset. There's a privacy concern. You know and of course amazon get some other benefits. Because i think the real reason is is their trucks. Delivery vehicles are driving around maybe even packages at some point You could pinpoint them within this sidewalk network that if all goes well and it could very well because a lot of people have amazon echos in their houses ring video. Doorbells ring cameras. If it all goes according to plan we can have. This amazon owned low power network. All over all over And you know with great benefit for amazon. I think the probably the real reason amazon is Is they'd know where the delivery trucks are right. I mean they actually really. Let's think about it they. Ups and fedex already have trackers in the trucks. They know exactly where it truck in fact you probably got that text. Your packages nine stops away. Your packages eight stops away. That's because they know exactly where it is so maybe this isn't something of great value. Maybe something you could put in a package though you don't want that's expensive these bluetooth devices. These radios they need power. So you have to put battery and now you're not going to build into a package.

SAP Shares Collapse After Lockdowns Force Cuts to Revenue
"SAP. The Enterprise Software Group based in Germany is having its worst day in more than a decade shares of sap are down more than twenty percent after the company cut revenue and profit guidance for the year. Jim. They're saying that corona virus lockdowns would affect demand well into twenty twenty one. What do you make of this? Because I I'm sort of struggling with. two competing ideas and one is that sap is right. In terms of overall demand and if they're right than that probably. Bodes ill for a number of cloud base stocks out there. The other idea is that this is an sap thing. This is just confined to them. Yeah and I think you're right to have that kind of of two minds response. Unfortunately, I, don't have a definitive answer. Of course if I did have a definitive answer, I probably wouldn't be here with you today I'd be on a beach earning you know whatever? You look. As anyone who's ever been part of an sap implementation I think you probably taking a little shot in Florida. Today I know I am has as I might prior career I got to be part of. One of those experiences and sap implementation tends to take at least twice as long as they originally tell you and cost a lot more, and so I'll just leave it at that. I also used to you know if I heard a company with implementing sap. Generally throw them out of my research cue for at least a year because. I've seen that movie. Yeah earnings were not well received about forty billion plus this morning off the market cap. They did try the old lipstick on the pig routine did talk about strong double digit growth and earnings per share. Growth cashflow they talked about their operating cash being up fifty four percent year over year free cash flow up seventy, nine percent year to date. But the problem is you know. And is reminiscent of IBM a number of years ago or IBM would talk about having these goals and certain twenty fifteen goals and twenty twenty goals years before. SAP has had what they call the twenty twenty three ambitions. and. They reaffirmed these twenty twenty three ambitions last quarter, which would be the quarter where corona virus and cope nineteen really got traction. And without so much a by your leave this morning, they have thrown out the twenty twenty three goals replaced them with twenty, twenty, five goals. The twenty twenty three revenue expectation, and the previous goals are answering ambitions. Was Thirty five billion now, two years out for twenty twenty five that ambition is for thirty, six billion. Okay they've. That looks like a slowdown to me sap. Certainly. They have reduced a bunch of. Components of their guidance perhaps, they shouldn't have been giving guidance during pandemic that might just be a little suggestion. Some somethings I've seen. You know th, the stock wasn't horrifically priced before this I believe was about eighteen times EBBA enterprise value to. About five five and a half six times sales there are certainly richer companies out there. But? When you have this kind of growth slowdown and it comes kind of out of nowhere I, can see why the markets puking puking it out. I've seen some suggestion that former CEO bill McDermott. Who I think has a an exquisite sense timing. He left about a year ago to go to service now. There's some suggestion that he had this big long acquisition string under his belt. Then, he left in these acquisitions. All in their own little personal fiefdoms within sap, they're not well integrated. So he's kind of handed these ambitions and this integration work to the next guy. I think there's a lot of work to be done here but. Really, the the serious reaction here certainly has to be that. Oh. Yeah. Reduce Guidance Change Ambitions like like you've just thrown out a multi year plan and it's kind of replaced with another one and you're hoping no one's GonNa notice. All they noticed. You know whether it has implications beyond sap. If I was a salesforce or an oracle shareholder, this morning I might be a little nervous. Now look that said we we know that the cloud based. Transition which we've seen other companies do very successfully autodesk and adobe being I, think exhibits one in one. Where shift from selling the You get the big revenue and earnings hit upfront because you sell the license for X. number of years, and then you do your services revenue. Going over to. This cloud where you get a subscription fee every month and it's supposed to be. More predictable results we know it works when done well as I mentioned adobe and Autodesk. Seems that it's not working quite as well with sap. and. We'd like to see I think you need. More quarters sap but I'll if I was a cloud I'm not really a cloud guy. So I find it interesting but I'm not remotely equipped to understand most of it. You know I'd be a little worried going forward the rest of this earning season to be

Irony is Out (with Raven Leilani)
"Did the hipster burn his tongue on his coffee? Because he drank it before it was cool. I feel like a grandpa repeating that old joke. But that was the mood around me when I was first getting into like twitter. So much of listening to music or being a consumer of movies or art fashion whatever was about snobbery an irony getting the things I like cool. Weird things before anybody else. But as culture does I feel like there's pendulum swing now in the other direction. Where we're all like you know what rules? Phil Collins. An animal crossing and crocs feeling we just don't have the energy for snobbery anymore. I mean I don't. I want the comfort food of culture. You're right that definitely is more in invoke more so than when I was twenty right but ten years ago and author Raven Leilani is here for it. earnestness is a vulnerable and overt way of interacting with the world I feel like it is a way of of being that is against self protection i. feel like there's this sort of cool practiced earnestness. The kind that is like pretending you're not wearing makeup when you're actually wearing makeup that looks like you're not wearing makeup and then there's real earnestness. That is just your bare pockmarked skin open to the world exposing who you really are. You're Dorky Weirdo self the way I learned to interact with things. I loved was I through fandom that sort of what's beautiful to me? About loving thing and engaging with with other people who love it through that love as opposed to What you don't like about it math what you were a fan of a lot of things I grew up. Playing. Jr. PG. I grew up our Japanese role playing games. Okay. I grew up watching a lot a lot of anime. And my brother too he passed down his comic books to me for safekeeping. When he left the house, you know being able to escape into those imagined worlds and feel feel comfort there and with fandom. Perhaps. Any hesitation I have is rooted in like the old teenage adolescent fear of a when that was private almost shameful thing but it's not private anymore Raven Leilani. Is debut novel. Luster is full of things that have once maybe ten years ago been considered guilty pleasures. Her main character he is a bit of a centralist, a hedonist. You peer into her brain and you have this totally open look into everything. We normally keep private each smarts down sticky fried foods has risky ill advised sex with her co workers she blasts disco music in her rat infested apartment. She's also a nerd and a fan, and she loves all that Dorky JR type. You know the way that manifest in the book is disco. Manifest is fandom is comecon but were you at all? Hesitant. About coming out as like a fan of all this ernest stuff. Yeah I mean I a little bit because I. think that. When you claim the things you love out loud. It opens you up for criticism in a different way. You know it does, and for judgment in a different way I think that's right like you the things the. Ernest parts of ourselves that we keep private. We keep private because we are because we worry about the way that judgment will re contextualised that desire and. Maybe, make it a shameful thing. And so in a way in a way, I was worried but I think I've gotten to a point where there's just so much. I feel like I've hardened I, feel like I've become more cynical in a way and so the parts of myself that are still ernest like I cling to you know the parts of myself that are that are Ernest, I? Feel. It's necessary to to fly that flag because I think those. those joys are are rare and unkind of a few and far between. I mean you bring if there's really interesting question like. Do we need the barrier the barrier between like that true soft part of ourselves and our heart external selves in some ways I want to be like, Hey, the barriers dead let's all just show arse off sides and be Super Ernest now like that's also privacy. Of Two minds and both minds are coming. Are Within the head of a black woman civil I will say that. I greatly. Value my privacy. I mean I do. I think that it there's something about having a safe space that is separate. From the kind of brutality of of the outside world and I really want a world where black women don't have to be hard.

The Trump Administration's Policies in Afghanistan and Africa
"The foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He's a senior fellow keeps the Long word journal with Tom Johnson and his colleagues. We go immediately to Afghanistan because here during the Republican convention We want to explicate what we can of the Republican intention if it is successful, winning a second term for President Trump and then to remark upon thee. Trump administration's policies in Africa, particularly when it comes to the kind of length organization Al Shabaab on the attack. Billa Very good evening to Afghanistan, you and Tom for many weeks and months now. Have illustrated that the trump policy from the first term was to make a deal with the Taliban and withdraw as much of the American presidents as possible. And hope for the best. I do not expect the Republicans toe have another direction is your sense bill that the military is quit with Afghanistan? As much as the political apparatus is quit, are there of two minds here? Good evening to you, Bill. Good evening, John. Yes. So I agree with you. The Trump Administration is not going to change policy in Afghanistan, Um, barring some type of major events. Um, it's it's just both sides of the aisle are pushing the end The endless wars narrative, which, of course is ridiculous, because the jihadists have a say, and they're going to keep fighting when we leave, of course. We could. You could say something like we wantto end our involvement in these wars. Fine, But the wars will continue our enemies get a vote, and they're nowhere near tired of fighting. The U. S. First the U. S military goes for Afghanistan. Give US military as a whole. Once out of Afghanistan, it's been a drain on their resource is on their energy. Um, I don't. I think they don't see an end. There. They feel again. I'm not speaking for the entire military. And this was the sense I get from millet, you know, from top military leaders. Who have basically signed on signed off on this policy. There's been no objection publicly to this policy of, uh, negotiating with the Taliban and cutting a deal with them, even though they support Al Qaeda. In the meantime, the Taliban and there is Taliban Afghanistan. In several iterations, there's Taliban, Pakistan and several generations the Taliban is preparing for Nearly triumph, but rule I follow from your posting at long word general that Tariq eat Taliban. Pakistan is congratulating the Muslim UMA in general and the Mujahideen in particular on the merger of the two main groups of jihad in Pakistan. Can we regard this as a temporary merger because and they'll be back to fighting over cities or is there some collective push now for the Pakistan, Taliban and the Afghanistan Taliban to work together? So I think there's a push for the Pakistani Taliban in the Afghan Taliban already work close together, Um they Pakistani Taliban fighters have refocused their efforts to Afghanistan. After Pakistani military operations against them. Remember the Pakistanis play a double game? You're You're a good jihadist If you fight in Afghanistan are cashmere, but you're bad jihadists in the fight against the Pakistani state. So this merger that came up really? I found a little surprising because I could point back to a statement in 2015, where the one of the two groups of it's called One of them's Hezbollah, Har. Um, you know, so it had announced that it already merged with the movement of the calibre, or should I say there were ties broken during the turmoil back in 14 4015 with Mullah Omar staffed and when Melissa was alone took over the Pakistani Taliban. Ah, lot of inside baseball, but I won't go into but they had already announced that they had reunited, so something has happened here. Within the last five years. I think this is really sort of There was probably some kind of personality dispute, and I think a lot of this is for propaganda anyway. Really, to just say, hey, look, we're all unified. We're all going to, you know, operate under the same command when I think essentially they were doing the same thing. I go to Africa because you are a U is a long word General have resource is to cover the story of Al Shabaab. We spoke recently of their surprisingly professional looking videos of their recruiting on their training. Now we have a report from long word general of Al Shabaab on the attack hotel military base suicide assault, reminding me that this is a very sophisticated outfit trained with Al Qaeda, Sze Ah complex attacks as Al Shabaab growing and strength to your measure, it does the next Trump administration need to pour more resource is or get out as well. Yes. Oh, Africa has always been fascinating, particularly Somalia. I think some outside of the Taliban Shabbab is the most effective jihadist insurgency in the world. They have They continually take the fight to the rump some Somali government they control 25% of the country despite the fact that you have the African Union and the US and what they could piece together the Somali military and police. To oppose them, and they're there have very good propaganda. As you noted, It's improved a lot over the years and there are very effective at conducting their attacks and keeping their their fighters. Trained and keeping them in the rank and file. Remember, there's been an attempt by the Islamic state to poach from Shabaab, but it's been largely unsuccessful. Not only did they have they conducted major attacks on military bases and hotels, yet another town this one outside of the town of Baidoa, which eyes in sorry the city. If I go, it's probably the second largest city in southern Somalia. Um they took over the town after the Somali military withdrew in the Somali military withdrew from that town because Shabaab was besieging it, so I think Um, I always reluctant to say they're growing in strength. Thes groups have sort of There's an Evan flow to the fighting, and sometimes particularly went outside groups. When the African Union and the US start piling on them. They have some issues, but they're able to await it out. That's the one thing these John, one of the several things that they have. To their advantage. They have the time. You know, that old saying goes, we have all the clocks, but they have all the time While they're very patient in their fight. They're very patient in their jihad. While we have men may have sophisticated military equipment, that's the clocks. They have the time and patients in the will to fight these battles, not enough terms of the US election cycles but in terms of decades Built in general. Now we're at the crossroads for another administration, either, Mr Trump second. Mr Biden's first. Is there any indication pattern worldwide that Al Qaeda is waiting for that decision, or are they staying on the offensive? Matt, no matter who wins. Yeah, I think there are on the offensive. No matter who wins. They do follow the political situation here, but I think they've come to the conclusion that this is just my opinion here. But I think they've come to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter again that end the endless wars narrative and and the actions by the U. S government over two successive administrations. Policies of withdrawn, scaled down and whatnot would look to us is withdrawing troops from Iraq. It just closed that the major based ontology or at least US personnel being at that base. Almost 2000 troops are coming out of there. Um, they see this all and nature there taking it all in, and they realized that the end of our fight in administration is not going to counter act. These measures. Bill Rocha
Under the Radar
Apple vs Epic: Store Wars
"So, as we are recording this the I don't know the apple developer community is in the middle of another one of its sort of I feel like it goes through these cycles of drama and the that's been the case for the more than decade that I've been an apple developer that there's always some kind of drama as your and we are currently in the middle of what seems like a fairly substantial drama like this is the kind of if if you go know the dramas can base from like the high school production to maybe the community theater like this is now like the Globe Theatre shakespearian drama like we are full-on to giant titans of industry like fighting each other. Over huge sums of money and lots of things specifically, I'm talking about. Epic and epic games and the kind of big drama they've been doing with apple where they create a sort of snuck in update into fortnight that introduced non inept purchase-. Purchasing and then they turned it on and then apple removing from the store and then they. Released, the video about that and filed a lawsuit and then apples threatening to remove them their developer account You know because they're in violation of the developer agreement and I mean the INS and outs orange particularly. Interesting. I think for the purposes of our discussion, like I mean, this is you know we would have independent development like as interesting as it is as a follower of apple and follower of Apple, news, and just like from a like for your at and it's kind of discussions. This is like prime grist for that mill but I think for us and for the purposes of our discussion, I thought would be interesting is to just start off at least by talking about it from a perspective of like does this impact us? Is something that. As a developer we should be worried about concerned about to based on etc and. I, think that is probably. The more constructive thing because? As much as I enjoy. Just, just from a it's like in many ways this is like you know some interesting thing is happening to like my favorite sports team or whatever like seeing this happen is certainly like there's an interesting interest factor to it though I certainly preferred it if it wasn't happening. But it certainly is interest as developer. It's I'm of two minds about it because. I think on the one hand they're arguing and fighting about. Things that I don't think. In the short-term don't really affect what I'm aiming to do like if apple was at some point allowing additional payment methods, I, personally don't think i. have any interest in in using them I would expect to continue to use. In a purchase for the foreseeable future because for me and the you know the pipe, the Epstein make and the way that I make them. Most of the benefit that I'm getting is apple provides a tremendous benefit in terms of ease of use in terms of integration with the platform. And they are taking care of a lot of things that identity need to, and I can just focus on making my apps have focus on making my user experiences good as I can and don't have to think too much about that kind of thing, and while they might potentially be an, you know an advantage if i. Say Stripe, you know subscriptions for something that I could use like I would consider it. I suspect more likely than not I would just stick with the built in thing because of the kind of network effects of having its There But at the same time like I do also do these kind of thing does make me worried about the future of the APP store and the future of. This environment where I've found my I've been able to kind of carve out my my little niche and I can you know hang out here and I can. Make just enough noise to Make a living and to have a sustainable business but I have no interest in becoming so large or so kind of visible bat. It disturbs the sort of the calm sustainability of what I have. I have my sort of Um in some ways I. think it was a find myself team to the lake up in the mountains and I can just hang out there and it's great and like I don't really want the lake to become part of the part of this big ocean or this big river like I just enjoy this little place that I have, and maybe that's shortsighted. But when I see things that. Potentially are GONNA, come and upset that it. It worries me like when I see the discussion or Movement around like additional APP stores and what that might mean or a side loading on the s like it worries me because. Things like big part or at least in certainly certainly in the early days and I think continue this to continuing to this date like one of the big advantages of irs as a platform is the general sense that customers have of safety of security of the fact that if you get if you download an APP from the APP store and it's does weird stuff, you just delete it and like all of its gone and all of its little tendrils are gone and it. It's like you don't have to worry about it and I think that is just tremendous benefit that if you start to. Like as soon as that's not one hundred percent true. In many ways becomes like not true at all and while you know a bit if you allowed side loading and that is usually not you know another thing most people use like sure. But now it's complicated and it's different and much I really want that complication. So. I I've gone back and forth about this a lot over the last sort of week since this all kind of started unravel what I thought and it's like. In the end I, just hope that it gets resolved amicably and we can kind of keep going as we are because I like that thing and like broadly I kind of agree with apple and I think that's probably a an unusual opinion it seems like based on these certainly the those who are vocal about on this topic, but generally agree with them and I kind of like the their stewardship of the APP store and their ability to make choices and I don't always agree with them in in detail but certainly by large, definitely agree with them in broad strokes.

International students may need to leave US if their universities transition to online-only learning
"And it's universities, especially the public universities have, I think kind of a strange relationship of the rest of the world are universities air sought out by international students from around the world who want to come here to the United States? And they want to study? We understand that we understand those universities love those international students to because they tend to pay the greatest amount of tuition. This is even if they're a taxpayer funded taxpayer owned. University. But now that many of those universities are in a position where they're having to do online education of the students, is there any good reason for the student? I have to live in the United States and be granted a visa to do that? Dan Griswald joins me now who's the Mercatus Center's director of trade and immigration, Dan? Welcome back to the program. So the president has issued. Sorry about that. Go ahead. I'm glad to be with you was. I'm glad to have you with me. So this directive from the Trump administration that would take away international college student visas. If they're coursework is entirely online. Anything unreasonable about that? I think it is unreasonable and it's unnecessary one. It's very short notice. You know, just a few weeks before the fall semester starts. If they are going online for all classes, maybe not necessarily do that all semester. There are still reasons to want to stay on campus. You can meet with other students. You Khun do extracurricular things. They have labs and things like that. So It's just totally on unnecessary large and it's going to hurt the U. S economy In the short run. As you mentioned, it's going to deprive us of billions of dollars of tuition payments, potentially It's going to hurt us in the larger run by discouraging these students from coming here, and many of them go on to feel important jobs here found important companies and boost our economy. Okay, I'm a little bit of two minds about this. So, Dan, I'll admit to being a bit ambivalent about this because on one hand, I hear, but these students come here and many times they stay here, inform companies here and they start businesses and they employ people. Those are all good things. I'd like to see American citizen students do that. And there are times when I look at Universities, even in my own neck of the woods, and I think they're pursuing the international students more than they're pursuing the students in the in their own state. In other words, the state that owns the operation owns the The University provides taxpayer funding for it so that it benefits foreign students and if they end up going home, and I'm thinking, in particular about China or China says sends its students here. They learn a lot of things, and then they go home. Or they perhaps worked for a a big tech company here and then take all that that that knowledge and information and capability back to their home country and they compete against the United States. Well, I think that can happen. But there's no trade off us. Students and foreign students can prosper together. And in fact, US students are better off if we have foreign students here and then work beside them and start those companies and create those patents, But you know most of the, but let's look at doctoral students in the stem subjects, right science technology engineering. Mathematics, 72% of them. The doctoral students will stay here for 10 years or more. That percentage is even higher among Indian and Chinese students, so some of the Chinese students to go back Most of them stay here and you mentioned cos you know, cos like zoom Tesla's space six Instagram. Those were all founded by foreigners who came here as student and stayed here and found that those companies Which were a great benefit to consumers, and also have created a lot of wealth and jobs for Americans. We're going to have less of that activity because of this action by the administration. If those universities were forced had on ly or primarily depend on domestic students, students who are you know the sons and daughters of American citizens or American Green card holders. Would that necessarily mean that those companies would not be created by those students instead of instead of foreign students? Well, US entrepreneurs do found those companies. But no, I think we have fewer of those companies founded. You know, we favor native born students right? They get the in state tuition. They have plenty of opportunities to go to college. No American student is being crowded out by, for instance, In fact, the fact that the foreign students pay full freight. On their tuition means that the colleges can offer lower tuition native born American students and helping them get an education and have better paying jobs for their careers. Okay, because I don't want to sound jingoistic. But I'm also aware I've seen universities and say, We've had to put a cap on this before China virus, But we've had to put a cap on the number of students and I say, Well, hold on. You're still taking lots of international students. And they say, Well, that's because we're getting 30 or $40,000 a year from them. We're only getting 10,000 year from the students in ST And again, they seem to be more interested in those $30,000 payments than they do, making more room for American students. I think that could be true at some schools. Most universities are seeing declining in moments, or at least they're having to hunt harder and harder for this. There's plenty of opportunities for Americans. American students and the foreign students actually create more opportunities because they helped keep the tuition down so it could be more affordable for American students.

Wait let's let's recap these second he said. You gotta be gotta be pies on spayed. Di Di all were. And they'll be coming off the route of the middle of the track. Josie absolutely not last week Josie placed hammers. She got something for this. Well hopefully we can get something Roy this week as well look ask seeks maters. We'd go at a little bit. Further soft seeks at the moment so expecting fifteen meals on Thursday fraud. I expecting I Ryan but Saturday expecting zero to six meals a gain so I think we're going to be in that soft seek seven Ryan Account. Expect these track to draw it really interesting to get further off the rile. Not so much the case he really own speed again but even horses. Just on the riles or a big advantage. When it goes eight six made is in the soft six Ryan. So don't be surprised. If the riles are the place to be. Look back to rile fullback rows. You could probably still win so darn expecting to get too far off. The fence are now. That's the pattern that was last week. And you sort of Virginia again.

Because he was able to take it up. A heated flat spot very elegant nosing front about he was able to fought back and Buddha. A love the way she held and she backed up once before that was from the white fool. Obviously into the Oxygen Victoria. Sh we know she's a two thousand four hundred made a win in the. She's charrier off by very elegant and I think rolling forward outside of Angel of truth or couldn't imagine she'd give up that advantage and get into a NAS rhythm and then settle for the twenty four hundred Mehta Gallup with that Mirage dancer and Moussagy. I think Mr. Jeez the best at solder in this field. He beat southern France over in Europe when they last met day. And I up. Winning these runs behind master on was terrific last dot. Ob It on a heavy non draw surface. He could improve out of the Ground Ivy. These trip most ability. He's not going as well Mugabe wait got group three. He comes up another level he so it's very elegant rice to win. Technically he bought oil Weiss. I look for a broad from one of these jockeys to get rolling at the item. I can take away that breeds and that turn of foot from very elegant and it might be the Rod on Moussagy. Just quickly you did mention. It was a really good. Pick up to mention that she did back up in the visa off the white full she actually filed she seven so there is. There's a slight knock. It could be that. Maybe she doesn't back up. She needs some link. Between Iran's bought. The profile was perfect but are just want to punish that you mentioned it so. It's really good to cy that she has backed up before she rented finished seventh in the works and she was four dollars. It was a foul issue variety wrong. That's the case. I think that animated well You guys know nothing more than when you hit the sign. That horse especially in a group want now. Let's have a look at the voluntary.

Best of the rest at sixty one dollars Josie funster very short but is justified. I think so. I think she's an absolute potential superstar. If she's not already there just with the Matt I think she had the barrel forward but again not a lot of speed on pipe. Pontes aspect ratio. I think we'll go forward and here. I think where the rights can be won or lost. I think that he's talked to clearly. Have between them they both exceptional phillies hard to knock either of them. But I think our probably roll forward as well and I just don't know where the problem beale has that tactical speed to be able to do that. Third up he fund star in the spring on the floor knocking off probably'll it was a dollar seventy four or five hundred one three and a half links. I just think these rice.

That was the best of the die by a significant margin. They would've won the Kumo. They used to run the Cornell if they decided to run. They've got panels on the wrist. They got panels on the is the too serious racehorses going forward with both of them but I think fund star will have the tactical advantage and she's an absolute beauty. She will be but the last question overdrawn barrier right. She's she'll be in two minds early doors where the row. Ford and talking. Just come back and rod for a little bit of luck.

A Live Chat with Two of the Biggest Rabbis in Phoenix
"Have two of the biggest rabbis and Phoenix here with US tonight. Rabbi Dr Smelly Yanko. It's the president and Dina validate me Josh and Rabbi Pinchas. Illusion is the founding rabbi of Congregation Beth Safina in Scottsdale Arizona. Come come welcome rebuttal. Don't usually have two guests because things can get really off the rails so we'll see what happens here rabbis. I'm GONNA call you. We'll we'll we'll figure out what we're GONNA call you but let's start with this question for both of you. Why isn't this Jewish community different from all other Stephanie Loud Mark this is why all the people who don't touch the MIC? Don't have problems every house. That better josh all right there we go sorry Stephanie. So let's start off because there's like no spoilers here because only spoilers so rabbis. Why is this Jewish community different from all other Jewish communities? Are you guys even Jewish? You're letting each other speak. It's an excellent question you went on to. I twenty all right so I think for two main reasons number one. It's a community that has just been founded really in the past. Few decades other communities are centuries old. This community is quite new and therefore its future is still very much ahead of it. I think that's why many people are really attracted to the potential of the community year as I was when I first move you thirteen years ago. And it's buzzing with excitement that's number one number two. I also think that it's a community. It's quite diverse and it's diverse in its culture it's diverse in its levels of observance of background. But it's not just the diversity that is attracting and that is quite unique to Phoenix. But it's a unity within the diversity truly feel that we're a united community which can't be said about Kish Committees. That was speaking about before in other places so those are the two main things that I see almost immediately like musing. Yeah well you say when. I was thinking about moving in the middle my seventh year. The two points that people shared as to why I shouldn't consider it. They said it's an intellectual wasteland which is totally untrue. We have people coming out to our learning events every night interesting ideas. And secondly they said it's a moral morally passive community very private very individualistic which is also completely untrue. When we have various activists campaigns people lined up lined up to show support. Who said that? And should we beat them up here? Do you want the crowd here? That can go after them. We the J. Crew here I want. I want to address the thing that you just said. So I'm kind of two minds about the activism angle. There's a part of me that thinks that it's really beautiful and essential for community of face to be very involved in you know social political elements and feel this kind of moral calling and there's another part of me that is a little bit kind of taken aback by how dominant this political discussion. Become just you know. Want to go to show just to hear the Torah just to be together with Jews and worry about that later some other place. How should we be feeling about? Its connection being social justice and question so Rambam my monitors in the third section of his guide for the perplexed. Says what's the purpose of all this stuff and answer is the welfare of the body and the welfare of the soul by which he means the well. If you have to know a little play there which we do. The welfare of the body means just state and the welfare of the sole means the perfection of the intellect so basically the goal of Judaism view is our inner life and our outer life which is to say the inner life is our ritual or beliefs or spirituality stuff. You're touching on and the outer life which he comes to say becomes the priority is that Jews should be on the front and center of fostering the Jus- -ociety and so I think we have a problem. Today I think that The traditional segment of Jewish life prioritizes the parochial and the traditional and not the universal. And I think the more liberal segments of Jewish life prioritize the universal and less of the less attritional and this middle ground of saying yes we care about the world we care society and we care about Jews. That complete package is what we're GONNA do. You agree that he taught us to call them. Yeah that's pleasure. No NOPE BRONCO. Way Back like twenty minutes back calls me peony so all my friends do so no problem. I I would agree with that. I would say though that needs to be a healthy balance of course between the two because if almost like Mark Twain said some people are so open minded that the brain spill out. Sometimes we were so much in open that we forget the message. And so we have to be steeped in the roots of Judaism very much so and yet not forget a calling to go to the outside point out also that if there is an emphasis in Judaism on which side counts the most. It's the outside if you think of the idea of Mitzvah. Most of the six hundred thirteen meets vote are outside oriented. They deal with the world that don't really deal with the internal world. I can only think I don't know maybe you can take more of to mitzvahs on top of the mind that deal with the inside. Prayer Torah study but otherwise everything else really deals with the outside so there is. I do find this emphasis on. Tacona LOMB on trying to rectify the world of course with God's light and with God's message but on the other hand also not forgetting where we come from forgetting to be a steeped in our roots as possible. Something we talk about a lot on the show. Is this idea that a lot of juice today don't necessarily feel like they can just walk into a synagogue and be welcomed or would even feel comfortable. There would even know how to get there. What do you think is the best way to connect with Jews? Who Don't haven't necessarily found their place within the institutional Jewish world thank you. They should go to the valley. Bettman rush to go ahead twenty. I was first before you go second. I'm sorry what did what are these. Mutations Paul Ince Geneva come on these guys could pull off a Juku. They've got the organization got the intellect coming the trail be stealthy. It's a fascinating question and I think that was a really good at alien one another. It's true and I think that the percentages of Jews were not engaged. Not because they're disinterested because they've been alienated is also very high and I think the challenge here is to embrace pluralism which does not bracket are absolutes but creates space for other absolutes. That means that for those of us who are really fervent beliefs. We learn how to create space for others. And those who are more relativistic and actually don't hold. Views are able to cultivate those in our space. I'm worried about those on the margins. I'm worried about single folks who have had had trouble finding partners and we were the people of Color feel alienated those of lower socioeconomic status who feel alienated Those who are converts all types of marginalized Jews that I think are. Establishments can do better being inclusive those with physical disabilities or and really a whole host of others. And I think our community is very good at embracing those who naturally fit in. I would agree also. I think it's an excellent question because he hit it right on the now. I think the biggest challenge we have is rabbis is to make Judaism not just relevant but also accessible and I would say that the lenses I try to wear as rabbi and I think that all Jews should try to wear is the lenses of what my rabbi teaches in his book. We Jews the STEINFELDT He came up with the idea that he was the first one since then. I've heard it many times. But he came up with this idea. That Judaism is not a religion. I don't approach another Jew because of religion nor do I approach another job. Because he's part of my ethnic group. Judaism is not an ethnic group. Judaism is also another nationality. We don't have to live in Israel to be Jewish. What is Judaism? Judaism is a family. I approach another Jew. Because he's my family and yes you could have two Jews and seven opinions but as another Aba of mine taught it's one heart and we can't forget that we do have one hot. We we are part of that. Same family what unites us is much greater than what divides us as the CLICHE goes. But it's not just a cliche it's the truth and therefore not do is better than me. We all have the same soul. No Jew is wiser than me. No Jew is deeper than me. I think every Jew in a way is a part of God and you can't add measurements to divinity to the infinity God is God and Jews that reflection of God he has that Jewish soul and together as a family. That's what unites us. That's what we celebrate. There's that great bit in Michigan where they say that you know. Why did God make us all descended from the same couple so that nobody could say you're better than my father is so so
Q
Spike Lee is first black person to lead Cannes Film Festival jury
"So just a little recap the SAG awards were handed out last night in LA so the south Korean film parasite made history for its win for best ensemble the film while winning this still the awards were still criticized for its lack of diversity which is a big conversation that's happening you might have heard of the Oscar so white hashtags back in the headlines again the entire Best Director category this year is made primarily up of white guys the acting categories a pretty way to know Jennifer Lopez for hustler is no Lupita nyong'o who's hurting us no one from dolomite is my name this left a lot of critics prize discouraged at the lack of representation then at the Cannes Film Festival they threw a curve ball the announce the Spike Lee is the new president of the Cannes jury he's that legendary filmmaker behind films like do the right thing and jungle fever black Klansmen now Spike Lee is the first black person to ever lead the Cannes jury and seventy three year history come back all this it's our Q. screen panel here in the studio John Semele Antena sending it right about TV movie arts and culture hi guys hello hi so this is so much going on there's so much to talk about him to start with you can give us a quick like history especially in cans okay so back in the eighties when spike was young and you know excited to show his movies to the world he won a youth prize with she's gotta have it and then he came back in nineteen eighty nine with do the right thing and it was like the front runner to win some big award but it didn't it ended up not winning not even a single prize and Spike Lee you is not so happy about that and he ended up blaming the jury presidents filmmaker them vendors and he had some price words for him it he said I have the quote right here vin had better watch out because I'm waiting for his **** somewhere deep in my closet I have a Louisville slugger bats with vendors and name on it okay so so so small and most likely was back at camp twenty eighteen with a black Klansmen here is at the press conference United States America was built upon the genocide of native people and slavery that is the fabric of the United States America as my book on brother JZ was say fax we on the right side of history with this film so I want to point out that the reason we're broke rehashing all this is because basically is as a big job can right now so John is this going to be the fact that he's leaving the jury a bit of a wake up call well as ever I'm of two minds about it I mean I would be hesitant to use being jury president of a prestigious Film Festival where everyone wears tuxedos in the south of France and some sort of bell weather for representation and diversity in Hollywood that's it it is something I mean as you said there has never been a black jury had in the history of the festival and I think that the palm d'or which this jury awards that's the price of the award it's still I would say the most prestigious award in cinema it is a way of sort of drumming up interest in a film I mean parasite which you just won't stop gushing about overflowing toilets in Paris but for you should go watch it again for the third time I think so you will I want to point out I would believe that John was the first one to like say me a Twitter DM being like Hey man you could check up and all of a sudden they do it on the for the heck say when the palm d'or which sort of started this journey that it's on now so it is certainly a way that you can generate interest in a film and I think it speaks often to a filmmaker status I think people will be watching to see what films Spike Lee finds interesting and I don't know I think he's made a lot of good films and he's made a lot of social films but I love the guy and I'm happy form I think it's like just an interesting like historically if you if you look at it historically the beef that's been going on between spike and and can you know like back in the eighties like back to do the right thing I I don't know he he had some choice words and and I don't know like it was Sally fields apparently who is like feeding him all this information about how long his victim yeah who didn't like do the right thing didn't think that like the ending was really worth it all this stuff and I guess he just didn't get the movie you know so yeah and apparently spike came out after that saying that what he said was stupid and immature and you know I guess in twenty eighteen he did when the ground pre awards black Klansman so he's I don't know ease down to three as we do the right thing I mean it's not one of the major American films ever made teen I we just talked with the spikes two thousand movie bamboozled is coming out from the criterion collection on home video I think next month a film that I think was widely misunderstood at the time I got reimagining of a minstrel show exactly it's about a sort of a TV minstrel show that someone creates a try to bomb their own career sort of a producer's plot line but it ends up becoming immensely popular film it was widely misunderstood at the time that I think is right for a re appraisal is going to get it when it comes out so I think people you know they always talk about spike Lee's films and he deserves a five but if you can imagine what can is trying to get out of putting Spike Lee as head of the jury and what's likely might be trying to get out of it are these two paths of origin what makes my cynical answer would be that they know I mean he was a kid in nineteen ninety nine he made a in quotes joke that someone should shoot Charlton Heston because he was responsible for gun violence in America you know he's called compared Clint Eastwood to a plantation owner I mean they're certainly like a level of let's say energy that spike brings that sort of my grab attention and headlines but also can would like that yes the thing can can benefit from that I mean do they do what like TMZ headlines about it's good ratings like any other organization he's a major filmmaker he's a major filmmaker major filmmakers and people at this level are who had the service but I just I just I I love what Kim had to say when they talked about you know including him as the jury had they said lease flamboyant personality is sure to shake things up like I just find the use of the word flamboyant they're kind of condescending we have yeah it applies to maybe to some of his sartorial tendencies and that's about it right if you just turning and I'm Tom how are you listening to Q. screen panel with John family and
The Bill Barnwell Show
NFL: Two head coaching hires in 10 minutes
"The draft before the combine. We still have several weeks. NFL Action to go. We have some new coaches join. Join the NFL. As recently as this afternoon and joining me to talk about that and the playoff games is our friend with the Atlantic Lindsay Jones Lindsay. How are you? I'm good oh how are you. I'm good I thought this was going to be kind of a quiet day in the NFL landscape and then suddenly to head. Coaching hires in the matter of ten minutes. This morning Matt rule going to the panthers. Joe Judge going to the giants after Mike McCarthy was named cowboys coach earlier this week. So let's start with today's news. Let's start with Matt rule who gets a seven year deal. What sixty seventy million dollars? A lot of money. Samat rule to leave Baylor and come work for the Carolina Panthers. Yeah I mean it sounded like one of those Offers you can't refuse type of situation where I think he's GonNa have a lot of power he's also got a lot of money and A lot of years to do To do what the panthers to do. It's not quite a Jon. GRUDEN ten years one hundred million dollar type of deal but David Tepper is showing that he is not afraid to spend a lot of money to invest very heavily in his head coach and head coach You know when everything else that they're doing I mean they're building a brand new practice facility. They're building the indoor facility. I mean they're spending a lot of money Darren Charlotte and you know I. It was interesting that there was kind of story that also came out. The rule wanted to kind of bring that offer back to the giants Because he was going to interview with the giants as well but The giants said okay. We're going to hire JOE judge instead of paying Instead of hiring not rule it six years seventy million dollars or whatever it is so Really really interesting. Move there Bell what are you. What was your initial? Take on it. I guess and then I'll I'll go with yours it. I think it's interesting in that. I'm not gonNA pretend that I am someone who has watched every Baylor game this year. I've watched a little bit and I've read up a Matt Rule Essay coaching candidate. Now for the past two years of course rule was very very nearly the jets head coach last year before jazz blocked him hiring his own offensive coordinator which point he stepped out of that process and they hired Adam Gates move. That has worked out brilliantly for the jets of course in the afterward with that rule. I think there are certainly elements of a a run first attack. I think he is not someone who is seen as a a progressive offensive minded. They've run EARNHARDT Peos this year. He has seen that as sort of a you know. I can't deal with the devil to run as much of the rushing game as he wants to and I think that's very interesting given what we have. In Carolina we have Christian McCaffrey who's entrenched is the best running back in football at the moment. We Have Cam Newton who I think you know certainly seems like this offer. This higher would probably be good for him in a way back for him in a way. Oh you know good in that. The run first attack does seem to favor can if he can be a player who does impact game with his leg. Still which we don't know coming back from injury but it's pretty clear that you know if Matt rule wants to move on from Cam Newton. He's going to have plenty of time to move on and higher higher or or or or sign up backup quarterback or assigned a young quarterback or draft a quarterback and give that guy a time to develop so I kind of feel of two minds. It's for this when it comes to the biggest decision for the second the second biggest decision the panthers have to make this office and I don't know how you feel about do you do. What does this mean for you for Cam Newton? Yeah I I think the first thing is just how healthy is he gonNA be. What's his time? Line going to be like their That's the thing that just is over everything and has been over everything for the panthers for going on two years now I still think he's GonNa be back and and I've been I've been thinking about this a lot over the last few few days I've been writing about brees and Brady and thinking about all of the potential quarterback moves that we're gonNA see the offseason and well this time of year. It's really fun fun to speculate about. All the potential moves and this year is more interesting than any quarterback off season that I can remember and maybe ever certainly certainly as long as my nfl institutional memory is But ultimately moving on from a quarterback and guy who's taking you to a super bowl who's won an MVP Without some sort of really solid plan in place is it's a really hard at it. It's so rare that it happens so ultimately I think he ends up being back. I think he's there's so many things that you can do with him if he's going to be healthy but that if he's going to be healthy is just the biggest question that's been out there and We're not going to know that for a couple abundance I guess the good news is that they don't have to make that move or decision on Cam Newton. Today I mean they they really can can wait a couple of months but ultimately. I think that there are better team with him. And the options outside of him are just not that great. I mean. There's some intriguing names out there but I just think I don't think you're GonNa do better than Cam. Newton Can A new. There's even seventy five percent of the quarterback that he was in two thousand fifteen when he was at his peak. Yeah or even the guy who was playing well in the first half of two thousand eighteen. I think that can traffic is still really good There's a definitely interesting sort of dichotomy with that rule or I guess not a paradox. In that he is a very conservative. Very first coach. But we've we've seen in the report effortless. Hire one of the reasons that the panthers were able to Land Matt run into the panthers was because they're making a huge investment in sports science. You mentioned the practice facility being built there. I mean it seems like it's a you know. This is the the beginning of a major infrastructure shift for the panthers to being an organization that they wanNA emulate the steelers and they wanna be simultaneously Eh analytics friendly at the same time so I think it was going to be a really interesting sort of narrow path to hit their where they are a run for his team which is typically considered to be sort of a antiquated or old school notion but making it work and so I think in the long run. They might end up being more similar to the Ravens. Who seemed to embody all those things right now in the steelers? Yeah I mean that's absolutely the franchise right now that you want to emulate if you look at WHO's doing it the best right now from both play on the field but also what they're doing inside their building and the the mindset that they have with the type of people that they hire The way that they make all their decision I think it's the Ravens and I guess that comes from the steelers family and that's so so that's what he's familiar with. But I think the other thing that we we didn't talk about was not rule that we just really have to mention. Is that while we can talk about schematics. And look at his Ex's knows and yes he's run I but you know what college offenses he bringing those sorts of things. I think the biggest reason that he was this really hot. NFL Coaching candidate over the last two years. This is his reputation. That's kind of a program builder and The work that he did at temple the way that he really kind of overhauled Baylor over the last two the three years when they were really a disaster The the way he interacts with players You know he brought his father and his former pastor and coach and you know I just think that Dad's what made him so attractive in addition to obviously like the the the skills that he has. It's an actual you know coach but You know I think we get so caught happen. Like what exactly is this. Guy's offense going to look like or what exactly is this guy's defense gonNa look like when really what owners and management are looking at is. What's this Guy's vision? How is he going to interact after everything everybody in the building? How does he relate to players What is his vision? All those sorts of things not really why they came out rule You know a bunkers you you know seventy million dollar contract Jack. Think that's very fair and I think that's really what they're bringing matt rule to do. I mean this is a guy who they think is going to overhaul everything about the panthers. The culture is going to change not that rhinovirus culture was bad. Obviously it worked for a long time but I think you know this is going to be a eighteen. An organization top to bottom built in in the vision of Matt Rule on the other side of things You think about the hiring. The giants made today in Joe Judge who granted. I think there's been that those sort of initial tweets coming out the wide receivers coach. He's really special teams coach. He is not good for one year. He has been the Patriot special teams coach for a long time. He has worked under Bill Bell. Check US worked under Nick Sabin. Those are pretty successful people to work underneath and yet it sort of seems like not. Maybe this is wrong to say but it seems like this higher is out of nowhere. Is that fair to say a little bit. I mean he was.
