Host your newest project, called no safe spaces. This is the trailer. Lets watch and listen. [video clip] you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you. You are not listening. I want your jobs to be taken from you. A protest has turned violent at california berkeley. This is why we are fighting for the soul of america. You should be able to share your ideas without fear of being fired from your job or being shouted down. You are not to be heard. This is one of the few things one could say we have no precedent for in the united states. You have the right to remain silent. The only way we separate good ideas from bad ideas is to be free to say whatever we want about them. Anything you say will be used against you. There is no free speech for fascists. Your posts on facebook, twitter, and social media will be saved to shame you. Kevin hart has stepped down from hosting this years oscars. Anything you say that we do not like will be used to shut you up. [chanting] you cannot be friends. Creating an atmosphere of fear and repression. It is going to bust. You cannot think differently. It makes it difficult to learn from other people. Isnt it spooky we are having this discussion . You cannot challenge us. Kids grew up playing soccer games where they never kept score. There is no debate. The kind of diversity they hate is diversity of thought. We reserve the right to be offended by everything. No university should ever create a safe space you are not going to protect people. The best thing you can do is make them strong. It bothers me for the young people being deprived of anything that could open their minds. You have the right to remain silent. Host an excerpt of that documentary, called no safe spaces. Dennis prager, you are calling this a wakeup call for america. Why . Dennis it is a wakeup call i will answer you exactly as you posed the question. It is a wakeup call because, to my amazement, a lot of americans do not know that, for the first time, literally the first time in American History, free speech is threatened. According to pew and other polls, about half of millennials and many other americans not just millennials, do not believe in free speech for hate speech. But of course, that is an absurdity. The whole point of free speech is it is free speech for what you consider hate speech. When i was a kid, real nazis, actual horrible, evil, vile nazis, wanted to march in skokie, illinois because that suburb of chicago had a particularly large number of Holocaust Survivors living there. So these people, who specialize in sadism, wished to rekindle the horrors, the memories of the holocaust in these peoples minds. Jewish organizations, liberal organizations, defended the nazi right to do such a despicable thing, because in america, there is free speech. But now, forget real nazis. Now, if almost any conservative shows up at a campus, there is a movement, sometimes successful, to shut them down. The campus is the least free place in the united states. That is a dangerous thing, and it is spreading elsewhere. People know in businesses to keep their mouth shut, if they have any conservative views. People come to me at airports and will look around i am laughing, but i can cry they look around and say, you know, i voted for donald trump. It is the first time in American History that people feel they cannot express who they voted for. I dont care if you hate donald trump. Thats beside the point. The fact is that a vast number of americans did vote for the man, and they are not bad people. I know many people think that definitionally, they are, but that is another subject. Anyway, it is a wakeup call. Again, it is the first time in American History that free speech is threatened. People want to tamper with the First Amendment. Host i want to jump in because jack dorsey, the cofounder and head of twitter announced earlier this month that his social media site will not accept political ads in 2020. Is that also a restriction on free speech . Dennis of course it is. Of course it is, but if he does not accept any political ads, left or right, at least it is not a suppression of just conservative speech. Anyway, how do you know exactly what is a political ad . Does that mean on any position whatsoever . It is hard for me to imagine how they will do it. Zuckerberg tried to say to the senate or the house or both i have to say, i commended him. He said who are we to decide what is right or what is wrong, what is true and what is not true . The people who say only truth should be in the media, they do not really mean that. They really mean only what they agree with should be in the media. So this is scary. This is ive got to state again this is unprecedented in American History. When if there is one thing left and right agreed on, maybe the only thing was that old saying i may not agree for what you say, but i will fight for the right for you to say it that is no longer a motto in america. Host to that point, you were at capitol hill in july for a Senate Hearing. I want to share one next served one excerpt. We shared it live on the cspan networks. Texas republican senator ted cruz and this line of questioning to a senior google executive. [video clip] you have produced 300 25minute videos and said youtube has censored roughly 20 of them. Among those censored include a video on the 10 commandments. Another one censored includes a video on the history of the nation of israel. The restrictions are purportedly for blocking things like pornography, but apparently, in youtubes world, talking about the 10 commandments and the nation of israel is comparable and should be blocked . Respectfully, senator, that is not right. What i am trying to explain is those videos are available to 98 of youtube viewers. 98. 5 , i believe. 1. 5 of our viewers have activated again, this is restricted mode. Churches, schools, maybe libraries, but dont want to have their viewers exposed to more mature content. The video the 10 commandments video, i believe, contains references to murder and will wwii, nazism, something along those lines in that number you referenced, 56 videos, made reference to rape. That is a reason. They are not censored. They are available to everyone using normal youtube. They are not available to the small subset who have chosen to activate restricted mode. Steve that exchange from a Senate Hearing this past july. A lot of references to you and your work. Your response . Dennis when i heard that, i felt that i had entered a monty python production. They have placed, specific to this particular moment, when ted cruz asked the question they had placed a video that i made i only make about 10 of prager u videos. I gave, on each of the five ammand 10 commandments, fiveminute video. All of our videos are five minutes. One of the commandments is thou shalt not murder. So his saying that they for every family that does not allow pornography and violence because they have filtered it out, they will not allow their child to hear thou shalt not murder because it mentions the word murder. That is what i mean when i entered a bizarre world when he said that. I actually said to senator cruz we will issue a new version called the nine commandments. However, since then, they have added four more of the commandments videos on the censored list for anyone who has filters. He noted churches all automatically have filters, so churches cant see videos on half of the 10 commandments. By the way, they have never youtube is owned by google. Google has never explained why a single one of our videos has been placed on the restricted list. The reaction get from jason from reason magazine. He said the following september 4. Dennis pragers argument that the constitution guarantees his right to post on youtube based on the companys admittedly vague notion of propriety where does that leave him when people with different priorities frivolously argue that the constitution guarantees say the right to a taxpayer subsidized abortion. Conservatives may be tempted to embrace pragers argument, but in the hopes of a shortterm victory for their side, but they should reflect on the longterm costs of forsaking their constitutional principle. Dennis yeah, it is such a series of non sequiturs. I read that, obviously, when it came out. It is it should embarrass the author. I hate saying it that way. I do not know who the author is. And i do not to say his name because i do not want to embarrass him. We dont contend the constitution says private companies have to allow anything they want to be said. Of course not. We dont we are not suing the New York Times, because the New York Times is a publication, so therefore it is governed by laws of libel and can publish anything it wants or doesnt want, but right now, google wants it both ways. They want to be protected from libel like a publication, but be an open forum and have no possibility of liability. They cannot have it both ways. The issue is not a constitutional issue. The issue is a free speech issue having nothing to do with the government. We know that, but you cannot be the conduit for 90 of the worlds information and then pick and choose what you will allow to be said. That is what the danger is, with regard to something as powerful as google. We are not suing the New York Times. Steve so what, if anything, do you want from the federal government . Dennis well, we havent asked the federal government for anything. We have simply asked the courts to adjudicate if this is a publication or an open forum . Lets get this straight. If you claim to be an open forum and you are not, you are lying. Now, at some point, unfortunately truly unfortunately, because i want as little government interference in our lives in any arena as possible i do not know how the government will not get involved. That is what should keep google officials up at night. You guys are abusing your rights to control almost all information on the internet on planet earth, outside of china. Steve how and when can people hear you on radio . Dennis they can hear me i am on the same Radio Network all over the country on hundreds of stations. They can go to prager u. If their city does not have a station that carries my show, hundreds of stations do. It is easily found. There is a prager app, a pragertopia its hard to avoid me. If you want to see what we have to say. Prager u has one billion views a year. That is quite ubiquitous all over the world. Steve lets get to your phone calls. Harvey joins us from portsmouth, virginia, independent line. A guest joining us from los angeles. Go ahead. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. I love cspan. Dennis, are you alleging that conservatives do not have the right to free speech . Dennis i am sorry, who does not have the right to free speech . It is not a totally clear line. Who . Caller are you alleging that conservatives do not have freedom of speech . Dennis ok, i am sorry. That is the one word that keeps steve he is saying conservatives. Conservatives. Dennis yes it depends where. On campuses, no question about it. By the way, not only conservatives, but liberals. One of the themes of my life is that there is a much greater divide between liberalism and leftism than between liberalism and conservatism. Liberals and conservatives agree on free speech, agree on racial integration, agree on capitalism, agree on israel. The left disagrees with the liberals on all of those and free speech. One of the biggest stories in the movie is about a very ,iberal, Brett Weinstein professor at Evergreen State College in the state of washington, a lifelong liberal, a professor of biology, who was told all whites must leave the campus on a certain day, and he said this is ridiculous i do not believe in racebased things like that. And the man was screamed and cursed at and mobs attacked him so terribly the police told him we have the recording, it is in the movie. We cannot guarantee your safety he ultimately left the college. Lifelong liberal. Steve this is from bobby who says you have freedom to speak, you do not have freedom to force others to listen. Another tweet from another viewer that said sounds to me that Dennis Prager is an advocate of selective regulation. Your response to that . Dennis i have no idea what either of them are talking about. We are forcing people to hear us by coming to a campus . We are forcing you to attend . I dont know what on gods earth that person is talking about. It is a nonsensical tweet. What was the other tweet . We are for selective regulation . Have i said that i am for any regulation whatsoever . I merely said we have to deal with a very serious issue. There are many liberals who feel this way, as well. That is why Alan Dershowitz is in the film that something is happening on campuses that is unique in American History. We have a bunch of folks left of center van jones we have president obama, twice, in the film telling students, hello you cannot shut down a speech you do not agree with. If this does not unite liberals and conservatives, nothing will. Thats what i believe is happening. Liberals are awakening i do not expect the left to awaken, because the left has never, since lenin, ever supported free speech. Regina, joining us from independence, kentucky, republican line. Caller hi, good morning. How are you . Dennis well, thank you. Caller great. It is good to be able to talk with you. I happen to be someone who works at one of the campuses, and i agree totally being a conservative, there is no way in the world we can even say anything. There is an automatic assumption that everyone agrees that we are all liberals, so therefore, automatically, your freedom of speech is shut down right there. But one of the things that is concerning to me i hear turning point usa and a lot of different conservative groups of young people, and it is horrible, what is happening to them. When they go out just to get people to register to vote or they have their booth set up, and how these other students are just attacking them, pouring things on them, turning over their tables, jumping on them. I dont understand why this is not being reported by the Mainstream Media, all the violence that is happening dennis well, thats right. The Mainstream Media has no interest in reporting this. This is another tragedy in america. We dont deal with in the film. It is just a tragedy. The jaundiced news one gets in the Mainstream Media. These things that happen on campuses are minimally reported. You are right. It is a tragedy. That is why a person who is intellectually honest has to be aware of talk radio, has to be aware of fox news as well as cnn, has to be aware of of the wall street journal editorial page and the many wonderful websites. I subscribe to the New York Times. I read the Washington Post every day. I want to know what the other side says although it is not difficult, because i went to school. You cant avoid knowing what the left thinks. Nevertheless, i really do want to know what they have to say. You who are on the left, you need to know what we have to say. We have a lot of truths like this that you are not aware of. I will give you an example. I was on bill mahers show a couple weeks ago and mentioned that now, the left has announced that men menstruate. Bill maher and the entire audience, hundreds of people, laughed at me as if i had made it up. But of course, if you go to Huffington Post, huffpost, as it is now known if you go to Procter Gamble i mean, it is ubiquitous, the statement that men menstruate. It is all over the internet. That is what little kids are now taught. Men menstruate, but the average person on the left does not yet know about this unbelievable statement. But they will, and as soon as they learn about it, they will say men menstruate. Steve let me turn to the New York Times, the front page story in the newspaper as the aide disclosed a meeting wtih ukraine withbout the president. This is what it looks like. I want to share with you their reporting. The right the following. John bolton, the president S National Security advisor, met privately with the president back in august as part of his bid to persuade the president to release 391 million in Security Assistance to ukraine. That according to a senior counsel aid who told house impeachment investigators last month. The meeting, which has not been previously reported, came as mr. Bolton sought to marshal the president s cabinet secretaries as well as the top Security Advisors to convince President Trump it was in the best interest of the u. S. To unfreeze the funds to help defend the ukraine defend itself against russia. , who left the white house in september, has emerged, over weeks of interviews, as the single most important witness who has evaded House Democrats as they build a case against the president and the abusive powers of the presidency by withholding vital military assistance until and a coveted white house meeting with ukraine until it delivered investigations that the president wanted. The new disclosure, only making clear the significance of john boltons potential testimony. Your reaction . Dennis two things that i would like to note. One is and i do not know why this is not dispositive the president of ukraine and ambassador taylor, in the three meetings with the president of ukraine, testified that this is true. Never mentioned it. Never knew that he was being squeezed. If you are unaware that you are being squeezed, then i think most of the time one would say one is not being squeezed. That the president may have intended that is of no great interest to me and is not impeachable. Peoples intentions are not the same thing is peoples behavior. I think there was a fourmonth holding up of ukrainian aid. I might add another thing that the press does not deem worthy of noting. This president , President Trump, gave far more lethal weapons to the ukrainians then the Obama Administration did, which basically gave them food and the like. If the president intended to use thi
