=== Fear Among Americans (03:37) ===

[00:00:00]  Dennis Prager here.
[00:00:01]  Great to be with you.
[00:00:01]  Look at this headline in the New York Times, which is responsible for this pandemic fright, as anyone.
[00:00:10]  Fear of COVID leads other patients to decline critical treatment, like turning down a transplant when an organ becomes available.
[00:00:19]  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.
[00:00:30]  I do not ask, gee, will that make me more popular or less loved or whatever?
[00:00:38]  My disappointment in many of my fellow Americans is very sad to me.
[00:00:46]  The ability of people to get frightened when the data are out there, your chances of dying from COVID. Essentially healthy.
[00:01:01]  I don't care what your age.
[00:01:02]  If you're essentially healthy at 90, your chances of dying are minuscule.
[00:01:09]  Minuscule.
[00:01:12]  And we have ruined the livelihoods of tens of millions of Americans.
[00:01:17]  Caused bankruptcies, shutdowns, closings.
[00:01:22]  Kids have nothing to do.
[00:01:25]  Parents won't send their kids to camp.
[00:01:27]  Why?
[00:01:27]  Because they're going to get it from another kid?
[00:01:31]  Better safe than sorry.
[00:01:32]  I warned about it, haven't I? Right?
[00:01:34]  I've warned about it.
[00:01:35]  Better safe than sorry.
[00:01:37]  We are a different country than the one in 1968-69 that had, by 2020 terms, population terms, 150, 160,000 people died.
[00:01:50]  And they went to Woodstock.
[00:01:52]  Because the damn media.
[00:01:55]  Weren't there 24-7 to scare them.
[00:02:00]  This is a nadir in American history.
[00:02:04]  This is a low point.
[00:02:07]  I spoke to hundreds of people at a rally at City Hall in Los Angeles.
[00:02:12]  I wish there were thousands.
[00:02:14]  Not so that I could personally speak to thousands.
[00:02:17]  I said it's nothing to do with me.
[00:02:18]  I just wish there were thousands.
[00:02:20]  It was a touching moment when I crossed the street.
[00:02:23]  After speaking, a bus driver, a Los Angeles City bus driver, just yells out, I love you, man!
[00:02:32]  I went over to him and shook his hand.
[00:02:36]  A lot of people support what I'm saying.
[00:02:41]  The trick is to fight.
[00:02:45]  Gavin Newsom and Eric Garcetti will go down as fools at best.
[00:02:52]  And is vile at worst.
[00:02:55]  It started out, we'll overload the hospitals.
[00:02:59]  Quickly changed to flatten the curve.
[00:03:02]  Quickly changed to vaccine.
[00:03:07]  Vaccine?
[00:03:09]  We're going to ruin people's lives and the country?
[00:03:14]  Till a vaccine?
[00:03:16]  You out of your minds?
[00:03:21]  Yesterday was Memorial Day, and the New York Times on Sunday had an editorial about how racist the names of forts are.

=== Undo The American Revolution (00:59) ===

[00:03:33]  That was their salute to Memorial Day.
[00:03:36]  It was so fitting.
[00:03:37]  The New York Times editors loathe this country, and they will do anything to bring it down and undo the American Revolution.
[00:03:47]  Not a word I said is hyperbole.
[00:03:50]  It sounds hyperbolic, because, are you kidding?
[00:03:54]  Undo the American Revolution?
[00:03:55]  Yes, of course.
[00:03:58]  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.
[00:04:16]  It's not his task.
[00:04:20]  It's the task of the American people.
