Dennis Prager here.
|
|
Great to be with you.
|
|
Look at this headline in the New York Times, which is responsible for this pandemic fright, as anyone.
|
|
Fear of COVID leads other patients to decline critical treatment, like turning down a transplant when an organ becomes available.
|
|
I have to say, and I'm sure that there'll be part of me regretting having said it, but I say what I think.
|
|
I do not ask, gee, will that make me more popular or less loved or whatever?
|
|
My disappointment in many of my fellow Americans is very sad to me.
|
|
The ability of people to get frightened when the data are out there, your chances of dying from COVID. Essentially healthy.
|
|
I don't care what your age.
|
|
If you're essentially healthy at 90, your chances of dying are minuscule.
|
|
Minuscule.
|
|
And we have ruined the livelihoods of tens of millions of Americans.
|
|
Caused bankruptcies, shutdowns, closings.
|
|
Kids have nothing to do.
|
|
Parents won't send their kids to camp.
|
|
Why?
|
|
Because they're going to get it from another kid?
|
|
Better safe than sorry.
|
|
I warned about it, haven't I? Right?
|
|
I've warned about it.
|
|
Better safe than sorry.
|
|
We are a different country than the one in 1968-69 that had, by 2020 terms, population terms, 150, 160,000 people died.
|
|
And they went to Woodstock.
|
|
Because the damn media.
|
|
Weren't there 24-7 to scare them.
|
|
This is a nadir in American history.
|
|
This is a low point.
|
|
I spoke to hundreds of people at a rally at City Hall in Los Angeles.
|
|
I wish there were thousands.
|
|
Not so that I could personally speak to thousands.
|
|
I said it's nothing to do with me.
|
|
I just wish there were thousands.
|
|
It was a touching moment when I crossed the street.
|
|
After speaking, a bus driver, a Los Angeles City bus driver, just yells out, I love you, man!
|
|
I went over to him and shook his hand.
|
|
A lot of people support what I'm saying.
|
|
The trick is to fight.
|
|
Gavin Newsom and Eric Garcetti will go down as fools at best.
|
|
And is vile at worst.
|
|
It started out, we'll overload the hospitals.
|
|
Quickly changed to flatten the curve.
|
|
Quickly changed to vaccine.
|
|
Vaccine?
|
|
We're going to ruin people's lives and the country?
|
|
Till a vaccine?
|
|
You out of your minds?
|
|
Yesterday was Memorial Day, and the New York Times on Sunday had an editorial about how racist the names of forts are.
|
|
That was their salute to Memorial Day.
|
|
It was so fitting.
|
|
The New York Times editors loathe this country, and they will do anything to bring it down and undo the American Revolution.
|
|
Not a word I said is hyperbole.
|
|
It sounds hyperbolic, because, are you kidding?
|
|
Undo the American Revolution?
|
|
Yes, of course.
|
|
That's their Project 1619. Mark Zuckerberg started out with the belief that it is not his task at Facebook to sort truth and not truth.
|
|
It's not his task.
|
|
It's the task of the American people.
