=== Why Names Matter (05:31) ===

[00:00:00]  Hello, y'all.
[00:00:01]  Dennis Prager here.
[00:00:02]  The top boy's name in 2019 was Oliver.
[00:00:07]  So, instead of...
[00:00:09]  So, Johnny, why do you want to be when you grow up?
[00:00:11]  I'll have to do Ollie.
[00:00:13]  Ollie, why do you want to be when you grow up?
[00:00:15]  Alan is not in the top 100. How do you like that?
[00:00:18]  Alan is no longer there.
[00:00:20]  And if Dennis is not...
[00:00:21]  Maybe there are three Dennis names last year.
[00:00:25]  But Alan?
[00:00:25]  I was shocked about Alan.
[00:00:27]  Even John...
[00:00:29]  It's not on the list.
[00:00:30]  John was not in the top hundred.
[00:00:34]  That's a change.
[00:00:36]  It did have a long run.
[00:00:38]  That is a very...
[00:00:38]  Arlo is on.
[00:00:41]  You know any Arlos?
[00:00:44]  It does.
[00:00:47]  USA Today.
[00:00:51]  Give me a foot massage or give me death.
[00:00:56]  The contempt that the people who make a living have for the people who are without work, the left...
[00:01:05]  See, I know this because I studied communism.
[00:01:09]  They use workers to gain power.
[00:01:13]  Workers buy their lies and vote for them.
[00:01:16]  But they have utter contempt for workers.
[00:01:19]  Marx had utter contempt for workers.
[00:01:21]  This has always been your theme.
[00:01:23]  Marx, who sat in a library his whole life, had utter contempt for people who worked.
[00:01:28]  When he met them?
[00:01:31]  Yes.
[00:01:32]  He treated them terribly.
[00:01:35]  Was that in Paul Johnson's Intellectuals?
[00:01:37]  Great book.
[00:01:41]  I'm just finishing a book, 363 pages, and it is about Virginia Hall.
[00:01:48]  You've never heard of Virginia Hall, have you?
[00:01:50]  Right.
[00:01:51]  Most decorated woman in World War II in intelligence.
[00:01:56]  She ran anti-Nazi operations in France.
[00:02:01]  An amazing...
[00:02:03]  There is something I always knew, but I didn't know it as much until the recent past.
[00:02:10]  And you're going to think, Dennis, give me a break.
[00:02:14]  You're a bright guy.
[00:02:15]  You didn't know this?
[00:02:17]  You know what it is in life?
[00:02:19]  There's knowing and there's knowing.
[00:02:23]  Right?
[00:02:24]  If you know, everybody knows that fire is painful if it touches your skin.
[00:02:31]  But you know it a lot better if fire touches your skin.
[00:02:36]  Right?
[00:02:36]  I mean, so you knew it.
[00:02:38]  Everybody knows it.
[00:02:40]  But there's a knowing.
[00:02:47]  I don't know what to make of it, but I simply look at reality.
[00:02:52]  People are born with natures.
[00:02:55]  This woman, Virginia Hall, just marched to the beat of a different drummer.
[00:03:02]  And that's the way it is.
[00:03:04]  But you can't rely on the rare, spectacular person with courage for society to survive.
[00:03:13]  You have to...
[00:03:15]  Even if it's not your nature, you have to develop good traits.
[00:03:21]  If it's your nature, it's easier.
[00:03:25]  Andrei Sakharov, the great Soviet dissident, he could not abide by lies.
[00:03:31]  He just couldn't.
[00:03:32]  Most Soviet citizens swam in the world of lies.
[00:03:37]  Americans are swimming in the world of lies with the mainstream media.
[00:03:41]  And have less excuse because...
[00:03:44]  You can hear anti-media things all the time and read them all the time.
[00:03:50]  Soviet citizens could not.
[00:03:52]  Anyway, what was it a...
[00:03:59]  An unknown woman?
[00:04:00]  I gotta get, I'll get you the name.
[00:04:03]  Just about done.
[00:04:06]  Give me a foot massage or give me death.
[00:04:08]  The contempt for the workers on the part of the left is so deep.
[00:04:13]  And nobody talks about it.
[00:04:18]  You want to go to work?
[00:04:19]  Oh, you want your nails done.
[00:04:22]  Says a woman who, is it a woman?
[00:04:25]  Yeah, Patricia Murphy.
[00:04:26]  Who's Patricia Murphy?
[00:04:28]  Is she a former Republican strategist too?
[00:04:31]  I love that.
[00:04:33]  She is a political columnist and correspondent based in Atlanta.
[00:04:40]  Dying for cute toes would be a hilarious state motto if the situation here weren't also so serious.
[00:04:50]  This is what they think of those of you who want to go to work.
[00:04:53]  It's people who want their toes done.
[00:04:59]  God, am I proud to be a Republican and a conservative now.
[00:05:03]  It has all become as clear as possible.
[00:05:09]  We are less frightened.
[00:05:10]  We are less panicky.
[00:05:12]  We are more rational.
[00:05:13]  We are more decent.
[00:05:14]  We care about the people who are suffering.
[00:05:18]  Oh, but we care about death.
[00:05:21]  Everybody cares about death.
[00:05:23]  That's a given.
[00:05:24]  So the question is, what do you do?
[00:05:26]  Compound the death?
[00:05:28]  Which, by the way, in this country is 50% nursing homes.
