	Thank you.
	take any responsibility for.
	It's a phenomenon.
	And of course, the press in no way challenges them.
	The press is an arm of the Democratic Party.
	Indeed, the press leads the Democratic Party.
	So he speaks about what a failure President Trump, who doesn't care about people, is.
	Because he's not sending tons of money to Los Angeles.
	This is the man who ruined, single-handedly, along with Newsom, the economy of California and Los Angeles, and then has the audacity to blame the president for not sending him money.
	I can wreck all I want, and then you are responsible for paying for the wreckage.
	That's it.
	That is what it means to be a Democrat.
	And by the way, most of the people of LA believe what he said.
	Yeah, the president is not doing anything.
	Who ruined your life?
	The president?
	So you want a statistic, Californians?
	If you're not in a nursing home, your chance of dying of COVID in California is identical to your chance of dying in a car crash.
	Okay?
	Approximately, what is it?
	is at one in 10,000.
	And for that, you can't pay your mortgage.
	Your business is collapsed.
	Society is a wreck.
	So that's where we stand. .
	We Democrats can wreck our cities, and then you bail us out.
	Thank you.
	I'm not even sure there's a thank you.
	That's all that's important.
	He ended his talk about not politicizing it, and he ended his talk by saying we have to get rid of Donald Trump.
	Did you hear that by any chance?
	Were you eating while you heard it?
	You never do that.
	That makes sense.
	I'm sorry to open up the week with such gravity.
	We live in grave times.
	The left is ruining our country.
	I'll give you another example of how the left is ruining our country.
	The brainwash of the young.
	You know that...
	Most Native Americans and most Americans absolutely oppose changing the Redskins name.
	There's only one group that is favorable toward changing the name, and that's the youngest American.
	When I read that statistic, that is really what sort of personified for me the horror of your sending your kid to a regular school By regular school, I mean non-home school or non-religious school.
	And to a regular college.
	They actually think Redskins is a racist name.
	I guess, look, if Aunt Jemima is racist, and Trader Joe's products that have anything to do with non-American products, they're being accused of racism.
	Here it is.
	Thank you.
	Less than 30% of Americans say Redskins have changed their name.
	Far more Americans believe the name ought to remain than those who prefer a more culturally sensitive name.
	According to the poll conducted by Morning Consult, 49% of respondents believe the Redskins should keep their nickname, only 29% in favor of the upcoming change and 22% unsure.
	When broken down by generation, the nickname is less popular with Gen Z than with any others.
	45% of Gen Z are in favor of changing the name, with only 23% supporting the nickname's maintenance.
	Gen X and baby boomers all see a larger percentage of their respective populations support keeping the name.
	Isn't that something?
	Half of Gen Z, 45%.
	Or worse, only 23% support keeping, essentially one out of four, if the poll is accurate.
	I assume it's accurate.
	They have literally been taught not to think.
	Literally.
	Now you ready?
	The other potentially controversial mascots included the Chicago Blackhawks, 25%.
	The lack of thought.
	This was actually done in honor of, I believe, a Chief Blackhawk.
	Did you know that?
	I think it was a Chief.
	But in any event, it was done to honor.
	Look, let me make something clear.
	Nobody names a group.
	Generally speaking, they're named after people they want to emulate.
	Right?
	I mean...
	The Padres, the, you know, the Yankees, it's, I mean, you know, the Pittsburgh Pirates.
	Okay, so, you know, ironically, if you want to change your name, Pirates were bad guys.
	But, of course, morality doesn't enter into it.
	Good and bad are not leftist divisions.
	Rich and poor are.
	Black and white are.
	The Florida State Seminoles.
	Why is that bad?
	What if a team were named the Italians?
	Right?
	Or in Chicago, the Poles.
	There are a lot of Polish people there.
	The Chicago Poles.
	Would that be an insult to Poland?
	If they were a team in Poland named the Americans, would Americans think it was an insult?
	So why is Indians an insult?
	Even growing up in the bad old, you know, 50s, 60s, the child, the Indians were, in my mind, brave and strong.
	That's why they were named after them.
	We're the Braves.
	Atlanta Braves, 17%.
	Kansas City Chiefs, 16%.
	Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 16%.
	Edmonton Eskimos, 16%.
	I'm shocked only 16% on the Edmonton Eskimos.
	Now, finally, I want to remind you of something.
	2016 Washington Post poll of Native Americans showed 90%.
	This was the Washington Post.
	This is the Washington newspaper that clamored for the name change.
	90% of respondents of Native Americans were not bothered by the name.
	78% found the debate unimportant.
	Everything that bugs the left is in the realm of made-up.
	And listen to this.
	Many took it even further.
	And declared they liked the team's name and find it supportive of Native Americans.
	The Washington Post results also fit a 2004 poll of Native Americans conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, which also saw 90% of respondents supporting the name.
	It's white leftists.
	Who was the black mayor who attacked the white leftists just this weekend?
	You're the rioters.
	We're not.
	And, you know, it's like you're more radical than we are.
	It's a very terrible time.
	I have no other way of describing it.
	But that is why, look.
	Devote your life to saving this country.
	Obama tore this country down.
	No one stood up to him!
	Nobody!
	Because he was black!
	You need to wake up!
	My parents didn't teach me that I was a victim.
	They can turn back voting rights.
	Didn't nobody donate to us the right to vote?
	House nigga.
	I didn't call you a nigga.
	Oh, okay.
	That's a big difference.
	Uncle Tom.
	And Uncle Tom is somebody who has sold out by embracing the white man.
	Uncle Tom.
	Bedwins.
	Boot liquor.
	Black white supremacist.
	Chuckin and Jarvis.
	House Negro.
	Coon.
	Uncle Tom.
	Coon.
	Coon.
	I have a Kuhn award over there.
	Kuhn of the year award.
	Most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent, free thinkers.
	I believe the legacy and the ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day.
	I will not pretend to be a victim in this country.
	I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable.
	Racist.
	Racist.
	Racial.
	Racist.
	Racism.
	A thousand cuts of racism.
	The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
	I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
	I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
	The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
	It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of black Americans.
	We're brainwashed to think, is it because I'm black?
	America's not ours, so we got shipped here.
	No.
	Our blood is on this soil.
	We own this too.
	There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great black men and women.
	Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
	So long as black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.
	The Hugh Hewitt Show.
	I love it.
	Is Joe Biden vulnerable to being leveled in the same way that Dukakis was in 88?
	So it's a little bit different in that Donald Trump is an incumbent president and George H.W. Bush had an opportunity to introduce himself after eight years as vice president.
	At the same time, it's going to be the same scorched earth tactics.
	Joe Biden has had an advantage that he's been able to hide out.
	It's almost a conservative talking point, but in this case, I think it's true.
	He's had an advantage in that he's been able to hide out away from crowds and scrutiny.
	He's not terribly nimble, whatever you think is going on.
	And so I think he's going to have a harder time defending himself than a lot of candidates like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton who are very good at returning volleys.
	You know, Zogby came out with a poll, and I'm not a big fan of Zogby, but they asked the question, "Do you think Joe Biden has dementia?" And I thought to myself, whoa, that broke through to a pollster?
	Because I've never seen that asked before.
	Has that concern broken through, or is that Zogby looking for headlines, Sean Trendy?
	I think that's Zogby looking for headlines.
	And look, I didn't necessarily mean to imply that he has dementia.
	If you follow Joe Biden's career, he's not Barack Obama or Bill Clinton or one of these overriding intellectuals.
	Now, in a way, that's good because it makes it harder for Trump to hang the dreaded liberal elitist albatross around his neck.
	I think that the Trump administration of the United States would make it so possible that people could be talking openly about socialism.
	I mean, 10 years ago Nobody was talking openly about socialism, at least the Democrats that I know were not talking openly about it.
	What has happened?
	Well, what's happened is it's sort of inevitable.
	and how this happens in the 10 to 15 years after a financial crisis so if you look back in history and believe it or not Okay.

	If you deny now that the left wants to destroy America, You are not even a leftist.
	Leftists admit it.
	So the, I mean, you read it all the time.
	Joe Biden, if he's elected, that's what's going to happen.
	It'll become essentially socialist.
	Do you know, who wrote the article about how they'll want, it's not fair that the suburbs have a racial imbalance or economic imbalance.
	So they're going to have, you know, apparently the government will just have housing for poor people in suburb.
	See, the notion that you work your way up to a better home and a better area is rejected.
	Anything to do with meritocracy is rejected on the left.
	The best example, I quoted this guy.
	If you're a long-time listener, you know how, this must be, I don't know, seven years ago, eight years ago, when I wrote this, the chief music critic of the New York Times, classical music, Anthony Tomasini.
	I felt that he was a fool.
	He even entered, it's so a while ago, I wrote about him in my book on the left.
	He listed years ago what he thought were the ten greatest composers.
	But he didn't include Haydn, he didn't include Handel, I don't know if he included Schubert.
	And he wrote why.
	There were too many Austrian and German composers.
	So he did affirmative action.
	So it's a lie, the list.
	It's not the ten greatest composers.
	It's the ten great composers of diversity.
	And sure enough, the man continues to be a moron.
	And he writes that they should end blind auditions for orchestras.
	Did you see that piece?
	You sent it to me.
	That implies you read it.
	Is that correct?
	You do a lot of reading.
	I want to read this to you.
	You have to understand how large the...
	Do me a favor.
	Look through this list and I'll look through this one.
	And now you must understand something.
	This is what's going to get you to show you how different America is today.
	Do you know why they instituted...
	Uh, not there?
	It's on top.
	You know why they instituted blind auditions?
	So as not to be racist or sexist.
	So the number of women has increased massively since they started blind auditions.
	Blind auditions mean you audition for the orchestra behind a curtain.
	So they can't know if you're a friend.
	They can't know, oh, my friend is his teacher.
	Or, oh, I want a white male.
	Nothing.
	There's nothing you know physically about the person.
	The New York Times' chief music critic wants to abolish it.
	To make orchestras more diverse, end blind auditions.
	That's the title of the piece by Anthony Tomasini.
	A true man of the left, meaning he's a fool.
	He will wreck music.
	During the tumultuous summer of 1969, two black musicians accused the New York Philharmonic of discrimination.
	Earl Madison, a cellist, and J. Arthur Davis, a bassist, said they had been rejected for positions because of their race.
	The city's Commission on Human Rights decided against the musicians, but found that aspects of the orchestra's hiring system, especially regarding substitute and extra players, function as an old boys' network and were discriminatory.
	The ruling helped prod American orchestras finally to try and deal with the biases that have kept them overwhelmingly white and male.
	The Philharmonic and many other ensembles began to hold auditions behind a screen so that factors like race and gender would not influence strictly musical appraisals.
	Blind auditions, as they became known, proved transformative.
	The percentage of women in orchestras, which hovered under 6% in 1970, grew.
	Today, women make up a third of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and they are half of the New York Philharmonic.
	Blind auditions change the face of American orchestras, but not enough.
	So let's get rid of it.
	We won't have musical standards for who gets into an orchestra.
	We'll have racial standards.
	Now if that is not racist, then truly I do not understand the meaning of the term.
	This is the stuff, the crap, that you get from the New York Times on a daily basis.
	I predicted this man at least ten years ago with his ten greatest musicians.
	We can't take too many from Germany.

	Yeah, we could.
	But it's fun, isn't it?

	Oh yeah, the drone video.
	Yeah, in restraints.
	Unbelievable.
	Thousands.
	In blindfolds, Jim.
	Unbelievable.
	Being shipped out at a train station.
	And, you know, I think back to the Europeans, the way they went after us when we moved a couple of dozen guys to Guantanamo who were high security risks and restrained them in an area that is appropriate for a person who's at risk to themselves and at risk to people guarding them.
	In contrast with this, which looks like kids heading into the Dachau train station.
	Especially in this enlightened, woke world in which we live, we should be offended by everything, but yet the masses who are upset about so many things could care a lot about the defining human rights abuse of our generation.

	Cut number 12. The New York Times 1619 Project, so named for the year that the first slaves were transported to America, wants you to believe.
	That our country was founded for human bondage.
	They want you to believe that America's institutions continue to reflect the country's acceptance of slavery at our founding.
	They want you to believe that Marxist ideology that America is only the oppressors and the oppressed.
	The Chinese Communist Party must be gleeful when they see the New York Times spout this ideology.
	Some people have taken these false doctrines to heart.
	The rioters pulling down statues.
	Thus see nothing wrong with desecrating monuments to those who fought for our unalienable rights.
	From our founding to the present day.
	And yesterday, Bill Barr opened up on the Chinese Communist Party.
	Here is the Attorney General at the Gerald R. Ford Museum.
	Does not stop at China's borders.

	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	I had a thought.
	I want to continue this attack on blind auditions for orchestras.
	I had a thought this weekend.
	America is not hated because it is bad.
	America is hated because it is good.
	That's the way it works.
	Thank you.
	The bad hate the good.
	There's never been an exception to that in history.
	And if you hate America, you're bad.
	See flaws in America?
	Fine.
	You hate Washington.
	You hate Jefferson.
	You hate Lincoln.
	You're a morally sick dude.
	They're morally sick at the New York Times.
	The question is what produces such bad people as to destroy something so good?
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	The chaos that will envelop the world if the United States becomes a socialist country, adopts these policies, bankrupts itself, that's really what is involved as well.
	The only thing left for them to ruin is the military, and that's coming, I assure you.
	They will talk about the sexism in the armed forces.
	Feature cases of rape.
	It's the next thing.
	It's the only thing remaining that has not been fully infected by leftism.
	If you hate America, it's a statement about you.
	It's also a statement about America, because there's no exception.
	That's why I wrote in my book on anti-Semitism, it's called Why the Jews?
	There's a chapter on anti-Americanism and a book on anti-Semitism.
	Because Jew hatred and America hatred are very related.
	Who does the left hate second most to America?
	Israel.
	200 countries on earth.
	And they chose the one Jewish state to hate, aside from America.
	The bad hate the good.
	So it has always been.
	The problem is too many of the good are weak.
	So if you don't fight, those who love God must hate evil from the Psalms.
	Tomasini, let's drop it.
	Let's drop blind auditions.
	The status quo is not working.
	If things are to change, ensembles must be able to take proactive steps to address the appalling racial imbalance that remains in their ranks.
	Blind auditions are no longer tenable.
	Get it?
	Now you have to look at the person and not hire on the basis of ability, which is the only basis that you did before when you couldn't see the person.
	If the musicians on stage are going to better reflect the diversity of the community they serve, the audition process has to be altered to take into fuller account artists' backgrounds and experience.
	Removing the screen is a crucial step.
	Why does this not apply to sports?
	Sports do not reflect the communities that they...
	No sport does.
	New York Rangers are all white, and the New York Knicks are nearly all black.
	Nobody cares, because all you want is the best hockey player, and all you want is the best basketball player.
	Why isn't there applied to sports?
	Because the left advocates it.
	I put the question to Mr. McGill, the Philharmonic's principal clarinet, who's black, since 2014, who is more ambivalent about blind auditions than I am.
	Isn't that amazing?
	The one full-time black member of the New York Phil doesn't agree with him.
	I don't know what the right answers are, he said, adding that the screen has proved effective.
	At eliminating the coziness that can creep into the audition process when members of the jury have worked with the person playing.
	And so much for the one black guy in the orchestra.
	That's amazing.
	This is the moral level of the New York Times.
	Our form of Pravda.
	Relief factor.
	If you go to relieffactor.com, I don't see how you would not try the Quick Start program because you will read how it has touched people's lives.

	So give it a try.

	South Carolina reports record high of 69 deaths!
	And of course, South Carolinians are aware that the day before it was zero.
	Oh my word!
	It's just skyrocketing!
	And here's literally the article from WCSC out of Charleston.
	State health officials have reported 1,840 new new cases of COVID-19 and 69 additional deaths in South Carolina, which is the most deaths reported in the state for a single day.
	How would you not be horrified by that line?
	Go to the second line in the same story.
	However...
	Officials with the Department of Health and Environmental Control say the deaths of those individuals occurred over the past few weeks.
	DHEC officials announced this delay is often attributed to ensuring the death is accurately reported based on the most up-to-date federal guidance.
	You know, all you hear is 69 people reported yesterday.
	That's the highest.

	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Tomasini, he's the man!
	Hey!
	Hey!
	Guys!
	Triple G! Tomasini!
	He's the man who told us who the hell are we to think Beethoven's Third is great when there's the Indonesian music.
	What was it again?
	What was the name?
	Gamelin Music.
	This is Tomasini, the guy who wants to end blind auditions to become members of orchestras.
	The man is a fraud, and I hate to use it because he might be a nice guy personally.
	He's intellectually a fraud.
	Ideology trumps truth.
	Ideology trumps beauty.
	Ideology trumps excellence.
	Yep, that's what he wrote.
	Who are we to say Western music is any better than anybody else's?
	Who's to say Beethoven's third is better than Indonesian gamelan music?
	My suspicion is that Indonesians, who know both, think Western music is superior.
	That's no knock on camel in music.
	I don't think Jewish music compares to classical music.
	This is the guy.
	I don't want to put too many Germans and Austrians on the top ten composers list.
	I don't want to choose members of orchestras.
	Blindly.
	I want to see them.
	Oh, you're black.
	that, hey, we haven't had a black oboist in the Philharmonic ever.
	You know, of course, since the beginning of affirmative action, I've opposed it.
	And I've opposed it on behalf of black.
	Because I believe deeply in dignity.
	See, right now, the first clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic is a black man.
	I assume he's a great clarinetist, because I know that he got the position without any reference to his race.
	But as soon as you start making it race-based, I will just assume you may not have merited this position.
	Why does that help blacks?

	He spoke about how dehumanizing all this leftist rhetoric is.
	And he spoke specifically about white privilege.
	White privilege is a racist book.
	And his point was truly superb.
	Truly.
	The dehumanization of blacks.
	They are reduced.
	To their skin color.
	And the moment you see a dark skin color, you assume the person is different from you.
	And this is the rhetoric of the black and white left.
	Oh, you can't understand us.
	Really?
	So who can understand anybody?
	Can a black understand a Polish American in Chicago?
	So instead, they talk about Trump being divisive.
	Trump believes in one American people.
	These are the people.
	This is total divisiveness.
	Oh, my God.

	Hi, James.
	Hi.
	How are you doing?
	I'm okay.
	My country's in trouble.
	What was that?
	I'm okay.
	My country is in trouble.
	Yes, it is.
	It's frightening.
	I was just calling to let people know I live in Arizona.
	I drive up to Colorado on a regular basis.
	And if you drive up that way, you go through the Navajo Nation, which is a large Indian reservation.
	And on that, there's a place called Red Mesa.
	It's right off of Highway 60 outside of Cayeta.
	And they call themselves the Redskins.
	The Red Mesa Redskins.
	That is the namesake of the high school there.
	And I think people should know that.
	If these people found that so offensive, why would they name them?
	Well, only leftists find it offensive.
	Native Americans don't.
	That was my point.
	All the polls show this, including the ones made by the University of Pennsylvania and the Washington Post.
	What was the name of the school?
	It's in a place called Red Mesa, Arizona.
	Oh, so it's the Red Mesa Redskins.
	Yeah.
	Good.
	Thank you for that.
	I appreciate it.
	The entire agenda of the left is to destroy.

	The people of Portland are bizarre to me.
	I mean, truly bizarre.
	That they elected a mayor who doesn't put this down?
	Isn't the first obligation of government to keep you safe?
	That's the first obligation.
	Beyond that, the rest is gravy.
	And then so the president decides to send in National Guard to quell the wanton destruction, and he screams at the president.
	There's part of me that wishes the president wouldn't send in anybody.
	You want to destroy yourself in Portland?
	This is the crap you elect for mayor?
	You deserve it.
	Live with your consequences, you in Portland.
	And if you are one of the few level-headed human beings in Portland, get the hell out of there.
	I mean it.
	I think there should be a transfer of populations at any event.

	These were all UCLA Bruin football players or athletes at the same time.
	And the book talks about why these athletes chose UCLA. Other schools, such as the University of Southern California, rejected African American players.
	If the USC Trojans did recruit one, he often sat on the bench, no matter how talented he was.
	So, all these players selected UCLA because they grew up in LA, they lived at home.
	They wanted to play for a hometown crowd, and the USC Trojans did not want them.
	Now, I mention this because one of the men who attended USC, about whom this book is written, Tom Bradley, became mayor of Los Angeles.
	Was elected four times.
	Ran for governor twice.
	Barely lost.

	How much is that handicapping him?
	I think it's hard to overstate how challenging that is the president.
	Personally, we've seen him, how those rallies have animated him, reinvigorated him on the campaign trail.
	They were sort of the lifeblood of that 2016 effort.
	And the extended stretch in which he has not been able to hold campaign rallies through the duration of this crisis has really taken a toll.
	He tried to recreate a little bit of that atmosphere in the Rose Garden.
	It's a very different thing when you're doing it in front of a couple dozen journalists outdoors in the heat than in an arena.
	Okay, everybody.
	Yeah, we got a caller in Portland who was in a bunker.
	Armed with a bazooka.
	Scott, hello in Portland.
	Hi there, Dennis, and the world.
	Yes, we have a mayor who doesn't really care about the common citizen.
	Their only focus is the miscreants, the ingrates, and the hell raisers.
	So good.
	I'm glad you called.
	What does the average citizen of Portland think?
	Most people are to the left, leftists as you would call them.
	Apparently they like this mayor.
	They plan to re-vote him for mayor in November.
	So if I asked your neighbors, what should be done about the violent rioting that has gone on now for two months?
	Well, I just found out that the young neighbor next door has been participating in this, and she got an earful from me.
	Do you speak to her parents at all?
	No, I don't generally.
	They've been kind of quiet over the years, but we had an encounter the other day.
	She had a concern, and I mentioned the rioting downtown, and she said, oh, I participate.
	And she seemed totally oblivious to rules, law, order, civil respect.
	She just thought that that was what you do when you're stupid and educated by the government over the last 20 years.
	How old is she?
	She's early 20s.
	Right.
	And she went to college, I presume?
	I presume she has some college, but the local public schools here, middle through high school.
	I think they're just as bad.
	Oh, they are.
	No, no, you're absolutely right.
	College is irrelevant now.
	It just cements what has already been paved.
	Right.
	But still, what do the business owners think?
	That's a problem that I have.
	have.
	We have had this problem for 30 years, long before Antifa.
	The ingrates, the miscreants, the hate America first crowd has been here for a very long time, and the Chamber of Commerce seems to do absolutely nothing.
	It's like another world, Portland.
	It is indeed.
	It once was a beautiful city.
	It still has some fantastic places to go, places to see.
	But the total politics of this town has deteriorated.
	I have lived here 65 years and have seen my once beautiful city to the point where I cry.
	For 35 years I drove by the Washington statue that the President has mentioned.
	I drove by the other day and it's just the pedestal that's standing.
	Wow.

	Hi Kathleen.
	Hey Mike, how are you?
	I am completely, totally opposite of what y'all feel.
	First, there's not a law on the books anywhere that mandates that I have to wear a mask.
	I am a widow of a 24-year Army veteran who is probably turning over in his grave right now because Americans have just given up their freedoms.
	In less than four months.
	If you do go on the CDC site, if you go on down, you will see the cloth mask do little to no good to keep you from getting a virus.
	Kathleen, I know.
	We've had this same argument.
	We go round and round and round.
	But let me just ask you.
	Hang on.
	Hang on.
	Hang on, Kathleen.
	Let me just put it to you this way.
	The CDC director said if we all wear masks, we could get this thing under control for six, eight weeks.
	Understanding your cynicism.
	What if he was right?
	What's it going to be next, though, Mike?
	They're going to tell me I can't shop if I don't get the vaccine?
	I'm not asking about hypotheticals or slippery slopes.
	What if the director of the CDC was right?
	What if everybody wearing a mask when you came in contact with other people in public could get this thing under control in four to six or eight weeks?
	What if he's right?
	It's not my job to take care of your health.
	I'm not asking you whose job that is.
	Kathleen, you want to give me a bunch of talking points?
	I guess I'm just trying to ask you, you don't think it's worth it if this thing got under control in four to six weeks by everybody wearing masks?
	You don't think it's worth it?
	I don't believe that that's gonna happen.
	I don't believe that that's gonna happen.
	Alright, I get it.
	I get it.
	Alright, you don't believe it.

	This is transmission of a virus.
	This morning coming into this building, I don't wear a mask outside because I retain an element of reason and rationality.
	And I just don't.
	The price paid for masks outdoors, and in many instances indoors, but outdoors certainly, is much greater than the good that it does.
	Masks dehumanize.

	Abstract.
	Okay, so this is the summary in their words of what this study shows.
	There were three influenza pandemics in the 20th century, and there has been one so far in the 21st.
	Local, national, and international health authorities regularly update their plans for mitigating the next influenza pandemic in light of the latest available evidence on the effectiveness of various control measures in reducing transmission.
	That was English.
	That was good.
	Here we review the evidence based on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical personal protective measures and environmental hygiene measures in non-health care settings and discuss their potential inclusion in pandemic plans.
	And now, here we go.
	Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
	We similarly found limited evidence on the effectiveness of improved hygiene and environmental cleaning.
	We identified several major gaps requiring further research, most fundamentally on improved characterization of the modes of person-to-person transmission.
	Okay, just thought I'd share that with you.
	Indeed.
	I'm sorry?
	The last paragraph of the entire study?
	Oh, after the app, so way down beyond the abstract.
	Okay, I'm going to the end.
	In this review we focused...
	Future cost-effectiveness.
	Very long.
	Future cost-effectiveness evaluations could provide more support for the potential use of these measures.

	And you could also be looking at AOC as the head of the Department of Energy.
	Or maybe Secretary of Commerce, take your pick, and you can throw Elizabeth Warren in there at Treasury, I guess, while we're at it.
	It would be economically...
	Very bad for our country to have an administration like that.
	Now, I say this without any political bias.
	I say this just through an economic lens right now.

	You can sign up for all this climate change stuff, right?
	And you can say, we're going to do our very best, and we're going to cut down on emissions, and we're going to put our coal industry out of business, etc., etc.
	But unless you have buy-in from the rest of the world, including some of the biggest nations in the world, i.e.
	China, and don't forget India, and they sit there and they say, no, no, no, we're still an emerging market.

	Is Joe Biden vulnerable to being leveled in the same way that Dukakis was in 88?
	So it's a little bit different in that Donald Trump is a incumbent president and George H.W. Bush had an opportunity to introduce himself after eight years as vice president.
	At the same time, it's going to be the same scorched earth tactics in the election.
	Joe Biden has had an advantage that he's been able to hide out.
	You know, it's almost a conservative talking point, but in this case, I think it's true.
	He's had an advantage in that he's been able to hide out away from crowds and scrutiny.
	He's not terribly nimble, whatever you think is going on.
	And so I think he's going to have a harder time defending himself than a lot of candidates like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton who are very good at returning volleys.
	You know, Zogby came out with a poll, and I'm not a big fan of Zogby, but they asked the question, do you think Joe Biden has dementia?
	And I thought to myself, whoa!
	That broke through to a pollster?
	Because I've never seen that asked before.
	Has that concern broken through, or is that Zogby looking for headlines, Sean Trendy?
	I think that's Zogby looking for headlines.
	And look, I didn't necessarily mean to imply that he has dementia.
	If you follow Joe Biden's career, he's not.
	Barack Obama or Bill Clinton are one of these overriding intellectuals.

	At the very end, although our review focused on non-pharmaceutical measures to be taken during influenza pandemics, the findings could also apply to severe seasonal influenza epidemics.
	Evidence from random controlled, what is the T? Trials.
	Of hand hygiene or face masks did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory confirmed influenza and limited evidence was available on other environmental measures.
	From the study, disposable medical masks Also known as surgical masks are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, just what I said to you, open possible infection, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids.
	There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission, Either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure.
	Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
	CDC Study, May 2020 20.
	Thank you.
	Fauci said this about a year ago or six months ago, masks were worthless.
	No, that early.
	I mean that recent, February or March.
	But everybody is controlled by the media.
	The left controls the country.
	There are islands left, like the presidency.
	I mean, some big islands.

	It's a great country.
	The lockdown, which is destroying the economy of the country, the lockdown is the vehicle by which they will say government the lockdown is the vehicle by which they will say government is the
	The more we distribute money, the more power the government has, and the less power non-governmental institutions will have.
	Already the churches and synagogues have bent like sheep.
	So the last remaining obstacle to the left is collapsing.
	The failure of most churches and virtually every synagogue has astounded me.
	The ease with which these people have bent is mind-blowing and beyond belief disappointing to me.
	I've looked to religious Christians and Jews as the last boar against the left.
	I was wrong.
	I mean, there are some.
	I will say, there are some.
	Jack Hibbs is an example of a fighter, great pastor, in Orange County, California.
	He's not the only one.
	Got a very big church.
	I don't understand.
	Do you fear the left or do you fear God?
	Rabbis, priests, ministers.
	Hello?
	You're not forcing anybody to come to services.
	If you say, we're willing to take the risk.
	We'll wear masks if you want.
	Fine.
	But we're going to services.
	Who the hell are you, Gavin Newsom?

	Hello, Larry.
	Thank you for taking my call, sir.
	I appreciate it.
	I don't know if you were briefed by the producer, but I am, in fact, law enforcement.
	I was told that you're a cop with Portland.
	You know, one of my best friends is your number two guy, Charlie Wiggins, and I understand he's more popular than your chief.
	Is he?
	I would say so.
	I mean, as far as I'm concerned, anyone who's wearing the blue is popular.
	Steve, I just made up that name.
	There's nobody named Charlie Wiggins who's your number two guy.
	You're lying.
	Apologize for faking a cop.
	Apologize.
	All the men and women in blue out there busting their butts, sacrificing for real good people, and you're playing one?
	A fake cop?
	Apologize.
	That's like playing a fake soldier.
	Apologize.
	I'm also a soldier.
	Apologize.
	Punk.
	I heard him on somebody else's show saying he was a cop in Jacksonville, Florida.
	Calling my show saying you're a cop in Portland.
	No, Steve, you're a punk.
	Oh, he hung up.
	We have a development in the phone call I just had with the gentleman who played a fake cop claiming that he was a cop from Portland.
	Mr. Christian, what happened?
	Well, Officer Steve, he called back and Officer Steve said...

	Okay, we're going to have our, let's become a weekly update on the coronavirus.
	In Texas, particularly Houston.
	New York Times Magazine.
	I want my doctor that I'm about to speak to to hear this.
	New York Times Magazine yesterday.
	Why we're losing the battle with COVID-19.
	The escalating crisis in Texas shows how the chronic underfunding of public health has put America on track for the worst coronavirus response in the developed world.
	The doctor in question is Dr. Bo Brees, emergency room physician at Houston Methodist Hospital.
	So, a good Monday to you, Dr. Brees, and...
	And a good Monday to you too, Dennis.
	Thank you, sir.
	So, is Texas the center of the epidemic at this point, and is it about to collapse?
	No, we're doing fine.
	Considering that we've had a lot of work to do with coronavirus, I think we've done an absolutely outstanding job.
	This week versus last week in Texas, cases have held steady in Texas.
	Deaths are up about 34% this week.
	We had our worst day, which is 162 people, unfortunately, passing away in the state.
	Which means, it's interesting, it's the New York Times that said that, because they should pay attention to their own state.
	Our worst day is now nine times fewer deaths than their worst day.
	Our worst week, which we had last week, is 45% fewer deaths than their worst day.
	Their worst day?
	Day.
	Overall, we've had 12 times fewer deaths as a percent of population than New York.
	You know, we regret the life of anyone who passed away from this, and I, like thousands of other, you know, tens of thousands of other healthcare workers are doing everything we can to save everyone's life, make people feel as comfortable as we can as well, weren't at risk.
	But this is the big lie.
	You know, they keep repeating and repeating and repeating that we're doing a horrible job.
	And it's fascinating because You know, I don't know how much readership the New York Times has outside of, you know, very center of urban populations in places like Austin and Texas, but they have a lot of readers in California.
	You know, and California's death rate and Washington State's death rate is 40% higher than ours overall.
	Texas held steady at being 35th in terms of D.C. plus states ranked in terms of the rate of death, and New York remains second.
	We're doing an outstanding job saving lives, and they're maligning Texas.
	And, you know, it's interesting.
	You mentioned the worst coronavirus response in the world.
	That's an absolutely fascinating thing to say.
	First of all, of course, it assumes that any of the numbers you're getting out of places like, you know, communist China, where they have, you know, more than a million Muslims in concentration camps are going to be accurate numbers about that.
	But in addition to that, compared to transparent countries, we're doing quite well.
	We have a lower death rate in the United States overall than Belgium, UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden, and France.
	We're doing better than them.
	If the testing rate is how we're judging things, which is a lot of what I heard the media, especially in the White House press conferences, judging the work of the president on, if we're looking at the testing rate, we're 24th.
	But that's a skewed number because most of those countries in that rank Are very small.
	Countries like Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, San Marino, the Channel Islands, if you even count that as a country.
	The large countries that are above us in terms of testing rate are Denmark, Lithuania, UK, Israel, Belarus, and Russia.
	And I don't even know if you can trust the numbers from Belarus and Russia.
	So other than Denmark, Lithuania, the UK, and Israel, we've tested more people as a rate of population.
	So we're doing an outstanding job.
	And I think we should look at this in terms of historical significance.
	Here's this plague that is supposedly racking our population in a way that none other have.
	But it is, in the United States, we have lost, and again, you know, I've dedicated my life, obviously, to saving lives.
	And so I don't want to minimize this, but I want to put it into perspective.
	We've lost 143,000 Americans so far.
	That's.04% of the population.
	One in 2,500.
	All of this And we've lost one in 2,500.
	And if you remove people from nursing homes, double it.
	It's one in 5,000.
	Right.
	Roughly, that's correct.
	Because the nursing homes are 40% or more of the deaths that we're having.
	Because that's the most vulnerable population.
	And how is the world doing?
	How is America doing?
	Well, in the plague of 1918, 2-3% of the population died of the flu.
	That's 50 times more.
	As a percent of the population.
	Right.
	Hold on there.
	This is really important.
	Dr. Beaubre is in Houston.
	Relief factor isn't going to solve a COVID problem, but it will solve, for many of you, the pain that you might have, muscular, joint, and the like.

	That's how effective it is.

	South Carolina reports record high of 69 deaths!
	And of course, South Carolinians are aware that the day before it was zero.
	Oh my word!
	It's just skyrocketing!
	And here's literally the article from WCSC out of Charleston.
	State health officials have reported 1,840 new new cases of COVID-19 and 69 additional deaths in South Carolina, which is the most deaths reported in the state for a single day.
	How would you not be horrified by that line?
	Go to the second line in the same story.
	However...
	Officials with the Department of Health and Environmental Control say the deaths of those individuals occurred over the past few weeks.
	DHEC officials announced this delay is often attributed to ensuring the death is accurately reported based on the most up-to-date federal guidance.
	blah blah blah blah you know and all you hear is 69 people reported yesterday that's the highest the most deaths reported for a single day For a single day!

	Jim This business about black people getting longer sentences because of their race is something that the former A.G. Eric Holder publicly said.
	He gave a speech and he talked about Pernicious racism.
	He said, you know, the people like Donald Sterling, the former owners of the Clippers who blatantly said all sorts of inflammatory racist things.
	We can deal with people like that.
	The blatant stuff we got.
	It's the pernicious racism, his term, that we need to deal with.
	And one example of said pernicious racism, that black criminals who commit the same crime as committed by a white criminal will get a longer sentence.
	And it is true.
	I think the sentence is about 12.5% longer, something like that.
	I think it's under 20%, but between 12.5% and 20% longer.
	And the reason for that is because the average black criminal has a longer record than the average white criminal, and your criminal record convictions is taken into consideration when the judge determines sentencing.
	Now, there is a commission called the U.S. Sentencing Commission, federal board that oversees all of this.
	Understanding American history is more important than ever.
	In this week's PragerU video, Ben Shapiro explains how the English thinker John Locke made a profound impression on the Founding Fathers.

	The New York Times revels in bashing Texas because it's a Republican governor there.
	Same with Florida.
	That's the epicenter.
	That's really where it's happening.
	So I'm having weekly updates from the supposed epicenter, Houston, emergency room physician, Dr. Beau Breeze, Houston Methodist Hospital.
	We were talking about the numbers and how...
	How small they are and how it is almost inconceivable, especially if you're young, that you will die from COVID-19.
	The rates in California of death, Dr. Breeze, I was just checking this.
	The rate of death if you are not in a nursing home is the same as car accidents.
	That is the same number of people in California have died of COVID-19 who are not in nursing homes.
	As from car accidents.
	And the state is closed.
	You mentioned the word perspective.
	I just wanted to offer that.
	So tell me this.
	We hear a lot about, well, the hospitals in Houston are filled to capacity.
	That's the crisis.
	ICU beds are full.
	What's the story?
	We're steady in the number of...
	It's slower in the emergency department than usual.
	We've talked before about how people who need medical care aren't coming in because they've been so egregiously terrified out of proportion about this one disease when they have other diseases that are more significant and risk their lives more.
	And as far as ICU capacity goes, remember that's an adjustable number, but we have ICU capacity.
	In fact, we have So much ICU capacity that this week my system started taking in folks from the greater region into the ICU, just offering that service to Southeast Texas because we have this adjustable capacity in terms of space, in terms of materials, and in terms of personnel to handle this.
	I mean, this is what we're supposed to be good at for a living.
	This is why the public trusts us.
	We're supposed to be able to handle this and not Have a predictable crisis because epidemics or pandemics, they happen every now and then.
	We're supposed to be able to handle this without putting our hand out and asking for more money.
	So tell me your read on this.
	It seems to me epidemiology has become a sort of pastime by necessity for me, but it seems to me that The way these things, or at least this one, works is it spikes in an area for a given period of time and then subsides.
	Then it spikes in another area and then subsides.
	Is there merit to what I just said?
	Yes.
	It spikes in place and it spikes in time.
	You know, diseases spread by personal relations between people, by interactions.
	Initially, it was in Asia, then it comes to the United States.
	You see a spike in one place versus another.
	If a place does not effectively socially isolate initially, as Texas did voluntarily compared to New York or Washington State, then you have big spikes initially in those areas, which is why New York did so poorly.
	You know, New York's very dense, very urban people.
	You know, honestly, it seems like a lot of them looked for exceptions to themselves.
	Yes, other people have a crisis, but I need to go do this.
	I need to go to this place.
	I need to go talk with these people.
	And so if you have a big spike initially, of course, your cases are done because everybody's been exposed.
	But if you socially isolate initially in a location, then you're going to have an initial spike.
	And then when people open things up, when they open them up, you'll have another spike.
	And when you open them fully up, you'll have a third spike.
	So the third spike is schools opening.
	And that's predictable.
	We talked about that in January.
	That's basic epidemiology.
	That is expected.
	It doesn't mean anything's going wrong.
	This is the natural course for a pandemic.
	If you were a governor or, for that matter, mayor of Houston, what would you do?
	Isolate those who are vulnerable and those who are around them helping to take them out, you know, to take care of them.
	And I would open everything else up as much as possible.
	And I would reduce the fear that people have about seeking healthcare.
	Because I've been talking with EMS personnel every week, and they're talking about the number of deaths that they're seeing at home far exceeding anything they've ever seen in their careers because people aren't coming in when they need to.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Far more.
	I want to see what the excess death rates are when we can look at the data in fairness because people aren't coming in who have dialysis and can't get into dialysis because they've got a fever.
	And then they don't go to the ER because they're afraid they're going to get COVID and they die at home of the issues that happen with that.
	They're dying of heart attacks at home.
	They're dying of strokes at home.
	It's horrible.
	In addition to the fact that, you know, our kids can't get an education.
	Our little girls can't go to dance class.
	You know, so many of our friends and neighbors have lost their jobs.
	What a terrible cost.
	Not to mention the arts.
	I mean, if New York cares about opera and ballet and museums and all of these aspects of culture which we have, Quite good examples of it.
	Houston, frankly.
	Why are you destroying?
	Because they are being destroyed by us.
	Well, of course.
	Yes, of course.
	We're living in a very dark time.
	As you know, I don't need to make that case to you.
	But there's hope.
	We can win this.
	If we fight, that's my motto.
	That's correct.
	Well, you're a fighter.
	As a doctor and as a citizen.
	Dr. Breeze, God bless you.
	God bless you, Dennis.
	Thank you.
	He has.
	One of the biggest blessings God gave me was to be born in America.
	So I don't want the left to ruin this gift.
	These ingrates.
	Every leftist is an ingrate and a fool.
	If you are not a fool and you're not an ingrate, you're not a leftist.
	You can be a liberal, but you can't be a leftist.
	You have to qualify as an ingrate and a fool.
	As I said last hour, they don't hate America because it's bad.
	The left hates America because it's good.
	Is Joe Biden vulnerable to being leveled in the same way that Dukakis was in 88?
	So it's a little bit different in that Donald Trump is an incumbent president and George H.W. Bush had an opportunity to introduce himself after eight years as vice president.
	At the same time, it's going to be the same scorched earth tactics in the election.
	Joe Biden has had an advantage that he's been able to hide out.
	It's almost a conservative talking point, but in this case, I think it's true.
	He's had an advantage in that he's been able to hide out away from crowds and scrutiny.
	He's not terribly nimble, whatever you think is going on.
	And so I think he's going to have a harder time defending himself than a lot of candidates like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, who are very good at returning volleys.
	You know, Zogby came out with a poll, and I'm not a big fan of Zogby, but they asked the question, do you think Joe Biden has dementia?
	And I thought to myself, whoa, that broke through to a pollster?
	Because I've never seen that asked before.
	Has that concern broken through, or was that Zogby looking for headlines, Sean Trendy?
	I think that's Zogby looking for headlines.
	And look, I didn't necessarily mean to imply that he has dementia, just if you follow Joe Biden's career, he's not.
	Barack Obama or Bill Clinton are one of these overriding intellectuals.
	In a way, that's good because it makes it harder for Trump to hang the dreaded liberal elitist albatross around his neck.

	Dating a girl who's more to the left than he.
	Do you know, for a clear-thinking parent, A child becoming a leftist, I'm not talking about liberal as usual, a leftist, is identical to believing your child has joined a cult.

	Alex in Prescott, Arizona.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	So great to talk to you.
	Thank you.
	So my observation actually has to do with the state of Michigan, which I hail from and spent about 40 years earning a living.
	I actually have two sons, unfortunately, that are trapped there now.
	And in particular, the governor, Governor Whitmer.
	Obviously, she's produced some really bad behavior during this pandemic.
	But the most fascinating or the latest one has to do with a threat she made to the factories, the big three factories that are in Michigan.
	And the threat basically says that if the public doesn't follow her mask edict, which basically is when you're in the public, you have to wear masks, she is considering shutting the factories down in Michigan.
	Which to me is just ludicrous.
	It just baffles me why she would want to do that.
	Because she...
	has unlimited power and they yelled at for four years they've been yelling that President Trump wants to be a dictator.
	It is a hundred percent projection.
	She's a dictator and a fool to boot.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Message discipline, the Venezuela option, which is 20 years ago Venezuela was rich.
	Now they're the most impoverished country in South America.
	It can happen here.
	That's the short version of it.
	It's a powerful message.
	It just has to be repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated.
	Now, I've noticed Trump can sell anything, right?
	That's what he's done his entire life.
	He's a developer.
	And that's a fun message to sell.
	He can also sell Joe Biden isn't the guy.
	He's run by Bernie and by AOC. And it doesn't get old, but he usually gets a feedback loop from rallies, Zeke Miller.
	And you can't have the rallies right now.
	How much is that handicapping him?
	I think it's hard to overstate how challenging that is for the president.
	Personally, you know, we've seen him, how those rallies have animated him, sort of reinvigorated him on the campaign trail.
	They were sort of the lifeblood of that 2016 effort.
	And the extended stretch in which he has not been able to hold campaign rallies through the duration of this crisis has really taken a toll.
	He tried to recreate a little bit of that atmosphere in the Rose Garden.
	It's a very different thing when you're doing it in front of a...
	You know, a couple dozen journalists outdoors in the heat and in an arena with thousands of screaming fans.
	And the message doesn't designate quite the same way without the applause track, so to speak, of the people around there.
	And potentially the president's own delivery of it suffers as well.
	I think that's something that the president and his campaign is still struggling with.
	It's how do they...
	Find some sort of replacement for that.
	Is that something that they can ever truly, fully replace?
	Do they need to explore other avenues to try to get the President's message out?
	What do you suppose would make it so possible that people could be talking openly about socialism?
	I mean, ten years ago, nobody was talking openly about socialism.
	At least the Democrats that I know were not talking openly about it.
	What has happened?
	Well, what's happened is it's sort of inevitable.
	It always happens in the 10 to 15 years after a financial crisis.
	If you look back in history, and believe it or not, I have data on 120 years and 800 elections over 20 advanced economies, and every time there's a financial crisis in advanced economies, twice a century basically, and the 15 years following that, you get the same kind of dynamics where people start to...
	Question market economies, question the moral and practical basis of capitalism, and you get this populism that we typically see on both left and right in countries all over the world.
	It's not a terrible thing.
	A lot of it's misbegotten.
	The idea that we would become a democratic socialist country, it's a problem.
	Questioning the basis on which we actually treat each other economically, that's a good thing to do.
	If we forget, then we forget our basic values.
	Remember, economics is downstream from culture.
	Morals always...
	This do have to come before markets.
	I mean, most of the people who are watching us today have religious beliefs that tell us that.
	Or at least they're descended from a Judeo-Christian conception of what the best life is made of.
	And a lot of people are very serious practicing Christians.
	And we know, those of us who are Christians, we know that if markets come before morals, everything is upside down and everything will be used to the bad, not for the good.

	USSR, Venezuela, Communist Cambodia.
	It never works.
	Now, as far as this whole environmental thing goes, Every
	so often, an article is written of such significance that one could only wish that all Americans would read it.
	Such is this piece, The COVID Coup.
	Angelo Cotavia is an emeritus professor of international relations at Boston University, a major figure in American intelligence.
	I'm now with the Claremont Institute.
	He's written this.
	It's up at DennisPrager.com.
	And Angelo Cotevilla, did I get your name correctly?
	Not quite.
	Cotevilla, Italian, not Spanish.
	It's what, not Spanish?
	Italian!
	Oh, okay, that's fair.
	Thank you, sir.
	That's why I always ask.
	Sir, it's a pleasure to have you on the show.
	This article, I've got to read one part to my listeners because it's eerie how you and I come to the exact same conclusions.
	What history will record as the great COVID scam of 2020 is based on one.
	A set of untruths and baseless assertions often outright lies about the novel coronavirus and its effects.
	Two, the production and maintenance of physical fear through a near monopoly of communications to forestall challenges to the U.S. ruling class led by the Democratic Party.
	Three, defaulted opposition On the part of most Republicans, thus confirming their status as the ruling class's junior partner.
	And then something I spoke about just last hour.
	No default has been greater than that of America's Christian churches, supposedly society's guardians of truth.
	As a Jew, I was capable of adding synagogues, because you might not want to put it there, lest you be accused of anti-Semitism.
	So let me assure you that the failure of synagogues is equivalent to the failure of the churches.
	By the way, I'll put that in later on.
	Really?
	All right, excellent.
	You haven't read it thoroughly enough.
	Right, you're right.
	That's correct.
	I did not let the Jews know.
	Okay, fair enough.
	That's very good.
	Well, let's begin then with what you call the truth aspect.
	So, what are the biggest lies about COVID-19?
	The lies and dissimulations about the fact that this is not a plague, that the COVID virus is not a plague, that the infection fatality ratio is essentially identical to that of seasonal flus.
	Period.
	That is the ground truth, that is the truth that has been obfuscated in a hundred ways, and a truth which, if it is reiterated, if it is clarified, dispels all of this nonsense, all of these horrors that have been inflicted on society, all of the subjection to which free people have been subjected.
	So, two immediate responses, because I always, in my brain, I say, what would a leftist say?
	And it helps me formulate my own positions.
	So, number one, why was it worldwide except Sweden?
	Is every country run by, in effect, the gullible or the left?
	And secondly...
	Okay, I'll do the second one afterwards.
	Go ahead.
	It's essentially, yes.
	Not that the Swedes are not leftist.
	They are.
	But they're not entirely gullible.
	Look, regardless of how you cut it, regardless of what else you might say, the fundamental, imperceptible fact is that the fatality, the infection-fatality ratio of this virus is simply not very high.
	As a matter of fact, Even though it has some peculiarities, namely somewhat unusual, and only somewhat really, unusual lethality for the old, overall it is generally somewhat milder than ordinary flu.
	Now, the problem started with the dissimulation by the Chinese government at first.
	I don't know, we cannot know whether this was intentional or not, but they first gave the impression that this was nothing.
	Then they gave the impression that this was doomsday.
	And the rest of the world, because of the unwarranted reputation of the World Health Organization, And the U.S. CDC caught on to that.
	And throughout the Western world, it happened to fit a mindset.
	Look at what has happened because of it, especially in the Western world, especially in the countries where the ruling class was under political siege.
	Movements that had been besieging the ruler class have been set back, quieted, pushed aside, etc., etc.
	Enormously convenient, comrade.
	Right.
	But how do you then explain Israel and India?
	They're not run by the left.
	Why did they lock them?
	Look, they...
	The establishments are established.
	The medical establishment is generally worldwide.
	They follow one another.
	Right, so they...
	Look, go back to the fundamental point.
	Is anybody saying and defending the proposition that the infection-fatality ratio of the COVID-19 virus Is anywhere above 1%?
	Is anybody saying that?
	No one is.
	Not in India, not in Ruritania, not even in Washington, D.C. Will anyone stand up and say, ah, here are the facts that show that this is really a plague?
	Nobody.
	Right, so that leads me to the second question.
	They will say the only reason it wasn't plague-like was we had a shutdown.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	What you do to keep it from spraying is irrelevant.
	It's absolute locomotives to the question.
	What is the infection fatality ratio?
	What happens to anyone, whether, because they have...
	I see.
	So not of population, but of infected.
	Of infected.
	And therefore, and this is the other, this is really the effective tool of obfuscation.
	What is the meaning of the word case?
	What is a case?
	Well, we just saw, most recently, evidence of one more of many of the manipulations of the third.
	The CDC has inflated the tests that show that someone is infected, two tests showing that some person had been infected, and inflated those into new cases.
	Furthermore, they have reported as cases every test of every person, including many, many, many multiple tests of individual persons.
	The number of cases gets inflated.
	Now, that's now.
	Dial back to several months ago.
	The word case was used in an entirely different manner.
	It was used to denote someone who was seriously ill of the COVID. Why was that?
	Well, that was so that we could take the number of very sick people and then compare it to the number of deaths.
	That tended to give a somewhat frightening infection fatality rate.
	Now that they're using the number of people's case all by itself, they're divorcing.
	Right.
	This is in order to scare us with the absolute number of people who test positive.
	Exactly.
	So you first scare you with A, then they change the meaning of A into B. Right.
	All right.
	We'll come back in a moment.

	It's going to be a little bit difficult to get a high-speed rail all the way to Hawaii.
	I'm not a geography major, but I think it might be hard.
	That might be a little difficult, but here's the reality.
	You can sign up for all this climate change stuff, right?
	And you can say, we're going to do our very best, and we're going to cut down on emissions, and we're going to put our coal industry out of business, etc., etc.
	But unless you have buy-in from the rest of the world, including some of the biggest nations in the world, i.e., China, and don't forget India, and they sit there and they say, no, no, no, we're still an emerging market.

	Is Joe Biden vulnerable to being leveled in the same way that Dukakis was in 88?
	So it's a little bit different in that Donald Trump is an incumbent president, and George H.W. Bush had an opportunity to introduce himself after eight years as vice president.
	At the same time, it's going to be the same scorched-earth tactics in the election.
	Joe Biden has had an advantage that he's been able to hide out.
	It's almost a conservative talking point, but in this case, I think it's true.
	He's had an advantage in that he's been able to hide out away from crowds and scrutiny.
	He's not terribly nimble, whatever you think is going on.
	And so I think he's going to have a harder time defending himself than a lot of candidates like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton who are very good at returning volleys.
	You know, Zogby came out with a poll, and I'm not a big fan of Zogby, but they asked the question, do you think Joe Biden has dementia?
	And I thought to myself, whoa!
	That broke through to a pollster?
	Because I've never seen that asked before.
	Has that concern broken through, or is that Zogby looking for headlines, Sean Trendy?
	I think that's Zogby looking for headlines.
	And look, I didn't necessarily mean to imply that he has dementia.
	If you follow Joe Biden's career, he's not Barack Obama or Bill Clinton or one of these overriding intellectuals.
	At every turn, it seems like there are more unanswered questions and few honest explanations about why so many of our liberties are under attack.
	Why are so many bright people teaching me nonsense?

	I'll tell you, my friends, you read one piece on COVID, this is the piece to read.
	The COVID Coup.
	I knew it from the beginning.
	From the very beginning, I said the lockdown was immoral.
	Some people should be quarantined.
	It's the first time healthy people have been quarantined in world history.
	The article is The COVID Coup, C-O-U-P, and is by Angelo Cotavilla.
	Professor Emeritus at Boston University.
	He's with the Claremont Institute now.
	Anything else you'd like me to cite about you right now?
	Could we put him on?
	I guess we did my fault here.
	Okay.
	Sir, is there anything else you'd like me to say about you?
	Well, I don't know.
	Okay.
	I'm good-looking.
	That's about it.
	And he is good-looking.
	I am very obedient.
	I like you.
	That's good.
	The article is...
	Let me read another part here to people.
	In May, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the federal COVID team's most influential MD, explained the counterproductive national lockdown of healthy people on national television.
	Earlier, he had said lockdowns were needed to preclude the overcrowding of hospitals.
	That having proved to be his gross professional error as an epidemiologist, he now said that extending the lockdown was necessary to prevent so many apparently healthy young people from eventually infecting the old and infirm.
	But there is zero evidence that apparently healthy, that is asymptomatic, though infected, people infect others with the COVID-19.
	And so on and so forth.
	In other words, we have been bathing, drowning in lies.
	Is that correct?
	That is entirely correct.
	Lies and misrepresentations, et cetera, et cetera.
	So, the $64,000 question, and really, what is at the heart of your piece, is trying to answer the question, why?
	What animates a Fauci?
	Well, Fauci, of course, is neither more nor less than a bureaucrat, and obviously a member of the establishment and a Democrat and all that, but no more than anybody else.
	Look, this is a political season, and Fauci and everybody else on the vast side of America's sociopolitical divide I've been looking for ways of stopping the assault of the rest of America upon themselves.
	The rest of America has been trying to free itself to kick off the grip of the likes of the bureaucracy, of the corporate elite, etc., etc., for now almost a decade.
	They have grasped at just about everything to do it, and along came this virus, as, by the way, Fauci himself predicted that a virus would come along, and wondered, this is back in 2017, how it might be used against Trump.
	Why did he make that prediction?
	Oh, no, it's an easy prediction to make.
	After all, viruses come out of China now pretty regularly.
	And he gave a speech at Georgetown University in 2017 saying, well, the next time that a virus comes along, it will prove to be quite a challenge for the Trump administration.
	several articles came out about that time early in the administration looking part of a host of the thoughts that were illuminating through that side of America but what are we gonna do to knock off Trump so I have to ask you then if
	if the president were Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat, Oh, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	Of course not.
	Well, I didn't finish the question, but you knew what I was asking.
	Go ahead.
	No, no.
	I mean, if any Democrats were in power, almost certainly the CDC would have acted as it had with every other pandemic, which, by the way, other pandemics have caused harm.
	More deaths than this one.
	We'll simply let it pass.
	Look, I'm no great epidemiologist, so all I ever did on the subject was get a Boy Scout marriage badge on the subject, you know.
	But the basic facts of epidemiology have been known for—are very simple and have been known for hundreds of years.
	Quarantines are excellent.
	for keeping a population nearly virgin, keeping infection out of a population.
	They're extremely effective.
	Once an epidemic enters into a population, a certain dynamic takes place.
	People get infected, acquire immunity, immunity grows within The community, and eventually you have enough immune people to impede transmission, and you end up with what is called a community immunity, or herd immunity, whatever you want to call it.
	But that is how human society has gotten through all epidemics.
	Now, sometimes this has been a very great cause.
	American Indians were decimated, more than decimated, by diseases to which they had no immunity.
	And by the time their community had developed community immunity, a large numbers of them had gone.
	But that is simply the way things work.
	You can't permanently fight an epidemic.
	By slowing its spread.
	You slow its spread, it's all you're doing.
	But eventually, it will run its course.
	Everybody knows that.
	I mean, when the COVID hit, Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is an intelligent person, and sometimes says inconvenient things, said, well, I suspect that sooner or later, 70%.
	Of Germans will become infected.
	Uh-huh.
	Okay.
	Yeah, right.
	And it so happens that COVID infections are mostly, we've learned this, asymptomatic.
	Yes.
	All right, my friend.
	We're going to have a part two.
	Please, my listeners, read his piece.

	Wow.
	And restrained them in a manner that's...
	Good comparison.
	restrain them in an area that is appropriate for a person who is a all right let's see if uh... mister code of the uh... code of the look is still there I have one more question.
	Are you still with me?
	I am indeed.
	All right, I have one more question.
	Tell us about the numbers given, the raw numbers on COVID-19 deaths.
	Are they reliable?
	No, they're not, because the CDC has asked, did ask hospitals to report deaths as COVID if the person tested did ask hospitals to report deaths as COVID if the person tested positive or looked like he might have regardless of what actually caused the deaths.
	They asked for a very different way of reporting deaths.
	So we don't really know exactly how many people have died of it rather than with it or maybe with it.
	So even that has not been true?
	Now there is a way of looking around at the truth and that is to measure something called excess deaths.
	We know how many people are supposed to die Statistically, in any given week of any given year, because that many people have died during similar times in the past.
	And if we look at excess tests right now, actually during this entire COVID affair, There really have not been any medical,
	considering that in other years there have been flu epidemics during the fall, during the late winter, early spring, and so the number of deaths during these times.
	So, no, we don't have exact numbers, but we certainly have enough hard information to know that we are not suffering through any kind of physical tragedy.
	Nothing serious has happened to us physically.
	Now, politically, socially, terrible things have happened to us, but not physically.
	All right, sir.
	I thank you.
	Again, I think this is one of the most important articles of the year.

	Probably the greatest mistake.
	I still believe that.
	The damage, we don't even, we're not beginning to know the damage to people's lives, to livelihoods.
	I think constantly of the recovering addicts who can't go to AA meetings.
	They have Zoom meetings.
	It's not the same, obviously.
	The damage done on every level.
	The number of people whose salaries are over.
	I don't know what they're going to do.
	They can get unemployment, obviously, but the The special funds that were allotted end in July.

	I am a widow of a 24-year Army veteran who is probably turning over in his grave right now because Americans have just given up their freedoms in less than four months.
	If you do go on the CDC site, if you read Go On Down, you will see the cloth mask.
	Do little to no good to keep you from getting a virus.
	Kathleen, I know, I know.
	We've had this same argument.
	We go round and round and round.
	But let me just ask you.
	Hang on, hang on.
	Hang on, Kathleen.
	Let me just put it to you this way.
	The CDC director said if we all wear masks, we could get this thing under control for six, eight weeks.
	Understanding your cynicism, what if he was right?
	What's it going to be next, though, Mike?
	They're going to tell me I can't shop if I don't get the vaccine?
	I'm not asking about hypotheticals or slippery slopes.
	What if the director of the CDC was right?
	What if everybody wearing a mask when you came in contact with other people in public could get this thing under control in four to six or eight weeks?
	What if he's right?
	It's not my job to take care of your health.
	I'm not asking you whose job that is.
	Kathleen, you don't want to give me a bunch of talking points.
	I guess I'm just trying to ask you, you don't think it's worth it if this thing got under control in four to six weeks by everybody wearing masks?
	You don't think it's worth it?
	I don't believe that that's going to happen.
	I don't believe that that's going to happen.
	I get it.
	I get it.
	You don't believe it.
	I got it.
	I got it.
	And I'm not going to convince you otherwise.
	This is America.
	She's an American.

	you And I'm looking at a book called The Black Bruins.
	The remarkable lies of UCLA's Jackie Robinson, Woody Strode, Tom Bradley, Kenny Washington, and Ray Bartlett.
	These were all UCLA Bruin football players or athletes at the same time.
	And the book talks about why these athletes chose UCLA. Other schools, such as the University of Southern California, rejected African-American players.
	If the USC Trojans did recruit one, he often sat on the bench, no matter how talented he was.
	So, all these players selected UCLA because they grew up in LA, they lived at home, they wanted to play for a hometown crowd, and the USC Trojans did not want them.
	I mention this because one of the men who attended USC, about whom this book is written, Tom Bradley, became mayor of Los Angeles, was elected four times.

	Here's another study for you.
	Nordic study suggests open schools don't spread virus much.
	This is from Bloomberg.
	Scientists behind a Nordic study have found that keeping primary schools open during the coronavirus pandemic may not have had much bearing on contagion rates.
	There was no measurable, this is important, no measurable difference in the number of coronavirus cases among children in Sweden where schools were left open compared with neighboring Finland where schools were shut.
	Yep.
	Why are we shutting schools?
	Teachers aren't looking very heroic, are they?
	Oh, I don't want to die.
	I don't want to die.
	And worse than not heroic is the...
	By the way, I would teach a class, just for the record, okay?
	I spoke at a rally two months ago in Los Angeles.
	I hugged about 40 strangers.
	I would teach a class full of kids in a nanosecond.
	Teachers, I have teachers' union, if the teachers' unions represent teachers, then teaching has been so disgraced that it is the most painful thought given my veneration of teachers.
	In my religion, you save your teacher before your own relative.
	If both are drowning.
	I mean, it sounds bizarre, right?
	But that's the way it is.
	That's the belief in how important it is a teacher.
	Teachers are not all by any means, but they have disgraced their profession by supporting teachers' unions.
	Teachers' union in Los Angeles won't teach children until we defund police.
	They have this whole series of left-wing demands.
	In order to teach children again.
	The left cares about children as much as it cares about women, as much as it cares about workers.
	Zilch.
	It uses blacks, it uses workers, it uses students, it uses every group in whose name it speaks.
	They couldn't give a damn about blacks or kids or anybody else.
	It is a corrupt world, this cult of the left.
	What feminist group has come to defend the girls who were racing against transgender women, biological men who keep winning their races in Connecticut?
	Has one feminist group spoken out on behalf of the women?
	What the left has done to blacks and to black life?
	Ruining the cities in which blacks predominantly live?
	All they can do is foment anger among blacks.
	Same with the teachers unions.
	Oh, I won't teach.
	It's not safe.
	Why isn't it safe?
	Well, so Swedish teachers are prepared to drop dead?
	Of course it's safe.
	You're not going to get sick from a third grader.
	What a message to kids.
	Wouldn't it be something?
	Look, kids, you know what?
	I think teaching is so important.
	I'm showing up.
	How many teachers are announcing that?
	They wouldn't even be announced.
	The teachers union would probably try to suppress them.
	What a corrupt world, the world of the left.
	Start homeschooling, my friends.
	The schools stink anyway.
	Any school that teaches your children America was founded in 1619 and that the revolution was in order to keep slavery alive, you cannot send your kid to if you don't want the misery of a child who has contempt for America and you.
	Okay?
	That's what they learned.
	They have contempt for you.
	Why do you think so many kids don't speak to parents who voted for Donald Trump?
	That's what they learned in school.
	Your parent is contemptible.
	All cults teach parents are contemptible.
	That's one of the biggest facets of cult life.
	Yep, that's where we're at.
	Thank you.
	A lot of my time has been talking about the lie about America's racist.
	And now the lie about the need to close down society.
	Because wrecking America is good if it puts Democrats in power.
	They don't give a damn about America.
	They don't give a damn about school children.
	They don't give a damn about blacks.
	They don't give a damn about women.
	They don't give a damn about workers.
	They give a damn about power.
	Why that is not obvious, what can I say?
	That's why one of my favorite biblical stories is Balaam's ass.
	Balaam rides his donkey.
	The donkey sees an angel standing with a sword blocking his way.
	It's a great story.
	The ass could see more than the prophet.
	That's why I love it.
	It's one of the great stories of the Bible.
	It is so true.
	A donkey ass, or a donkey or an ass, can see what I just said.
	If you don't see what the left is doing to the country, you are part of the brainwash.
	Thank you.
	That's all I can say.
	There's no excuse.
	It's as obvious as the day is long.

	Steve is in Portland, Oregon.
	Steve, you're on the Larry Elder Show.
	Hello, Larry.
	Thank you for taking my call, sir.
	I appreciate it.
	I don't know if you were briefed by the producer, but I am in fact...
	Yeah, I was told that you're a cop with Portland.
	You know, one of my best friends is your number two guy, Charlie Wiggins, and I understand he's more popular than your chief.
	Is he?
	I would say so.
	I mean, as far as I'm concerned, anyone who's wearing the blue is popular.
	Steve, I just made up that name.
	There's nobody named Charlie Wiggins who's your number two guy.
	You're lying.
	Apologize for faking a cop.
	Apologize.
	All the men and women in blue out there busting their butts, sacrificing for real good people, and you're playing one?
	A fake cop?
	Apologize.
	That's like playing a fake soldier.
	Apologize.
	I'm also a soldier.
	Apologize.
	Punk.
	I heard him on somebody else's show saying he was a cop in Jacksonville, Florida.
	Calling my show saying you're a cop in Portland.
	No, Steve, you're a punk.
	Oh, he hung up.
	We have a development in the phone call I just had with the gentleman who played a fake cop claiming that he was a cop from Portland.
	Mr. Christian, what happened?
	Well, Officer Steve, he called back and Officer Steve said...
	Kudos to you, Larry, because he calls all the shows on the network and all around, and he's gotten a lot of people, and he said that was the best anyone got him.
	He spanked him.
	Yeah, well, thank you, Larry Elder.

	But we could just spend the whole time talking about 80s movies like Krull.
	Yeah, we could.
	But it's funny, isn't it?
	That's what we've been doing since you came in.
	You know, actually, almost every movie probably has a link to contemporary foreign policy that we could spit out.
	We'll find it.
	We'll spin it in.
	We'll spin it in.
	Who are the slayers?
	The evil slayers from Kral today?
	Is that the people's army of China?
	That's the Chinese.
	So we have a whole slew.
	We have about 20 movie posters here.
	Jim was just looking at them.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I mean...
	I don't know if you've seen this video.
	I don't think it's actually new.
	Which one?
	Of the Uyghurs.
	Oh, yeah.
	The drone video.
	Yeah.
	In restraints.
	Unbelievable.
	Thousands.
	In blindfolds, Jim.
	Unbelievable.
	Being shipped out at a train station.
	And, you know, I think back to the Europeans, the way they went after us when we moved a couple of dozen guys to Guantanamo who were high security risks.
	Wow.
	And restrained them in a manner that...
	Good comparison.
	restrain them in an area that hi everyone Dennis Prager here Plano Texas Greg, hello, Greg.
	Hey Dennis, how's everybody?
	Hi.
	Hey, I just wanted to say that down here in Texas, there's almost no teaching unions that I know of, so we were asked if we were given an option, because they're going to give the kids the option to learn online in the beginning or not.
	And most, you know, most of my schools are signed up to go back to the classroom.
	You know, but some other things that are different about Texas is, like, we have to renew our contracts every year.
	We're not put on, you know, there's no such thing as earning your tenure.
	If you're, you know, hugely disappointing in one year, they don't have to renew your contract.
	So it's a lot different down here.
	But I would add that I think one of the biggest reasons Texas is staying Conservative as it is, is we don't have those kinds of unions telling us how to vote and changing our mindset, if you will.
	You don't have a teacher's union?
	I don't have a union, no sir.
	Wow.
	Reason number 88443 to move to Texas.
	What the teacher's unions have done to ruin schools, ruin children's lives.
	If that's not obvious to you, You are willfully blind.
	You are as guilty as the teachers' unions.
	Teachers who support the unions are hurting children.
	That is a fact as the sun shines bright.
	All these articles in the New York Times, the New York Times of teachers, I don't want to die.
	Oh, what a heroic profession you've become.
	I'll tell you what, I'll substitute teach for you on occasion.
	Maskless.
	And I'm a senior citizen.
	You nabby-pamby coward.
	Hide behind your union?
	God, is this country deteriorated.
	Home of the free, land of the free and the home of the brave to the teachers' unions.
	What a deterioration.
	God, you should be ashamed of yourself, those of you who support teachers' unions.
	We won't go back to class till they defund the police.
	You corrupt leftists.
	That's redundant.
	Kids schmids.
	We hide behind kids like feminists hide behind women.
	Democrats hide behind blacks.
	That's what they do.
	It's like they put them in the front line while they gather money and power.
	Vote for us.
	Of course we've screwed all of your cities, fellow black Americans.
	But vote for us.
	Because racism is the great problem, not our corruption.
	Sorry I couldn't take you all.
	Really important calls, all of you, like Craig in Michigan.
	Where can we get courage from?
	I'll deal with that.
