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.
