	But I don't ever sugarcoat the effects of the pandemic.
	You know, there is one fighter in the Senate, Ted Cruz.
	We had him on for an hour.
	He came into the studio from either Washington or Houston where he lives.
	So he wants people to be able to sue authorities for not protecting them.
	During the riots.
	This we have not seen in the past.
	And in Portland it continues now over 50 days.
	I feel that the average voter in Portland has a different heart and a different mind and a different conscience.
	And a different faculty of reason from me.
	I'm not saying theirs may be superior.
	But there's no question that we have nothing in common.
	That's why this notion of whiteness or blackness is idiotic.
	Do I have, I am white and the average voter I assume in Portland is white?
	Is that fair to say?
	We have nothing in common.
	Do you understand?
	Nothing.
	To say that we have white skin in common is to say something of no significance.
	Larry Elder is black, grew up in South Central LA, and we have everything in common.
	My latest column, right, is the dehumanization of blacks.
	Yes, it's the left's dehumanization of blacks.
	They're not people, they're a color.
	This is what the left's message is.
	You know why the left says all whites are racist?
	Because they're racist and they assume that everybody else is.
	There's no other possible explanation for that moronic comment.
	And people have fallen for it.
	I guess if you hear two and two is five enough, two and two is five.
	And I mean that.
	I'm not kidding.
	Rutgers University has announced, the English department at Rutgers University has announced, That it will no longer insist on rules of grammar because it's racist.
	I told you everything the left touches it destroys.
	The English language is next.
	Things you thought you would never think would be destroyed would be destroyed.
	So, for example, I would like to ask the English department.
	This is the English department.
	Are you with me?
	If someone writes in a paper, I is going to the grocery store today.
	Do you correct it?
	How about this?
	Do you correct it if it's a white, but you don't correct it?
	I'm just guessing.
	I mean, is that part of what was once called Ebonics, Black English?
	I is.
	Is that correct?
	I don't want to make up some...
	A form of speech that isn't accurate.
	But let's say that was an example.
	Would that be marked differently for a black student or a white student?
	I'm very torn about schools open.
	I'm not torn at all about colleges reopening.
	I hope colleges stay closed for the next 10 years.
	There would be a true benefit to society in many ways, in some ways not, because of STEM, science, technology, engineering, and math.
	But otherwise, I mean, I read to you, the richest county in the country, Loudoun County, Virginia, near Washington, D.C., is going to teach social justice.
	And slavery to kindergartners.
	The next generation, well, it's already happened with this.
	There are no heroes.
	Do you understand?
	They are proud of nothing.
	The country that has done so much good in the world.
	Will they be taught Islamic slavery?
	No.
	Will they be taught African slavery?
	No.
	Will they be taught Native American slavery?
	No.
	Will they be taught South American slavery?
	No.
	They'll be taught American slavery.
	Because the purpose is to have them loathe this country.
	Sick.
	It's sick.
	It's psychologically and morally sick.
	There was a professor, what was the article you sent?
	There was a professor who spoke about the violence in Islam, and was he fired?
	Were you the one who sent it to me, or did I pick it up on my own?
	Tough to know.
	We both do so much reading.
	Talking about reading, I actually got a subject of the male-female hour from an article in the Daily Mail.
	You'll find it very interesting.
	Be a nice change from the current crisis or crises.
	So I want to be open with you as I always am.
	Yesterday about a thousand Americans died according to World O-Meter.
	Did you see that?
	So that's a substantial number because I always multiply whatever number per day by 365. What would that mean on an annual basis?
	So that would be about 365,000 deaths.
	That's a serious number.
	There's no way around that.
	I had said at the beginning, I just threw out a number.
	I said, do not do a lockdown.
	Some people would say, okay, well, what number of deaths are you prepared to accept?
	Obviously not emotionally, but realistically, if you are not going to lock down, I said about $200,000.
	So $365,000 is almost double that.
	That's a lot.
	So I have a number of questions about the number, because I have already admitted to you that is a substantial number.
	Number one, are we getting accurate numbers?
	And I'll tell you exactly what I mean by that.
	If somebody is 90 years old, which the median age has been close to 90, it's been 80-something, I believe.
	If somebody's 90 and they have all sorts of already pre-existing conditions, and they...
	They die of pneumonia, but they were tested positive for COVID.
	Did they die of the COVID, which brought on pneumonia, or did they die of pneumonia while having COVID?
	It's not the same thing.
	Hospitals apparently have an interest in, As soon as people have an interest, In A, then you assume that interest plays a role.
	That is the way humans, unfortunately, function.
	So I would like to know if that number is accurate.
	Number two, I would like to know, like every place else, what are the ages and circumstances of the comorbidity issues of these people?
	Number three, I'd like to know how many of them Were given hydroxychloroquine and zinc in the first days of their illness?
	The answer is probably close to zero.
	There was an article about India.
	It's a puzzle.
	I think it was Washington Post.
	How come there are relatively few deaths in India?
	The article did not mention, I don't believe, Did you read the entire article?
	What I saw, it did not mention that there's widespread use of hydroxychloroquine, I think, and zinc in India.
	That's, to me, it would be elementary.
	Why would a doctor not prescribe that in the first five days?
	What do you have to lose?
	We'll be back in a moment.
	The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm tired of being censored by the liberal tech giants.
	So I'm taking a different approach in using SquatPod, a team communication and collaboration app for businesses, sales teams, schools, and churches.
	It has everything I need.
	Chat, video calls with screen sharing, file storage, etc.
	Plus, it's 100% private, non-discoverable, and American-made, owned and operated.
	It's time you take back your privacy, intellectual property, and write to free speech with Squad Pod.
	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?
	Some of the scenes of violent protests are just amazing.
	They're irrational evil.
	Dennis Prager and Dr. Wayne Grudem confront the toughest social issues we face today, explained through historical, political and never-before-told personal stories.
	More rabbis, priests, and ministers fear the left than fear God.
	When you stand before God at the final judgment, what will you say to him about how you voted on abortion laws?
	The Larry Alder Show Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Bye.
	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, law enforcement.
	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, but yeah.
	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 really 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.
	Thank you, Larry Elder.
	Well, as Mr. McConnell said, I was born at night, but I wasn't born that night.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Cuerca.
	Yeah.
	The Vice President of the Heritage Foundation for All Matters Defense and Foreign Affairs.
	He is Jim Carrafano.
	Follow him at JJ Carrafano.
	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. I didn't play my father in a father interview.
	First year we didn't do it.
	He has a three-minute segment.
	Maybe we'll play that.
	You have a three-minuter of my father?
	Okay, y'all.
	you Thank you.
	Regarding the last point I made, I'm Dennis Prager.
	Thank you.
	Yale epidemiology professor Dr. Harvey Risch said Tuesday that yesterday that he believes the President Trump touted a drug, hydroxychloroquine, could save up to 100,000 lives if used properly to treat the coronavirus.
	Speaking with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Monday night.
	Risch insisted that the controversial drug is proven to be effective against the disease and safe for people to use.
	But lamented that it has become the victim of a, quote, propaganda war.
	It's a political drug now, not a medical drug, Rich said.
	I think we are basically fighting a propaganda war against the medical facts.
	And that colors not just population people.
	What does that mean, not just population people?
	Must be a typo.
	How they think about it, but doctors as well.
	There are many doctors that I've gotten hostile remarks from.
	No kidding.
	The doctors have called this show.
	Some of the doctors, obviously, have called this show.
	Saying that all the evidence is bad for it.
	And in fact, that is not true at all.
	All the evidence is actually good for it when it's used in outpatient uses.
	Remember what I told you, the first five days.
	If you give it much later, it's useless.
	All in all, Rish asserted, 75,000 to 100,000 lives would be saved if the drug was used widely and perhaps as a prophylactic, which is how I take it, my dear listeners, meaning in a preventative manner.
	Risch, who was a researcher at the Yale School of Public Health, published a study into the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in early June and concluded the drug should be made, quote, widely available.
	At the time, he said that the drug in combination with azithromycin or doxycycline and probably with zinc could serve as a game changer in the fight against the pandemic.
	Now, let me ask you, my dear listeners, if it does come out later, and I believe it will, that it could have been a game changer.
	How will you react toward the medical establishment?
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Will you feel that it has been poisoned just as everything else has been by the left?
	I read to you last week how the sciences are being compromised by left-wing advocacy.
	And the example, it was written by Lawrence Krauss, an astronomer that I had on this program.
	We differed entirely.
	But I give him credit.
	He's gutsy.
	And courage is a big deal.
	The issue that...
	I had him on for an entire hour.
	On the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	You can get a lot of education listening to this show.
	That's why I recommend to you PragerTopia.
	You can get the show anytime you want without commercials at PragerTopia.com and you can get everything including every lecture and every course I've given and shows back for 10 years.
	To PragerTopia Unlimited.
	It's all at PragerTopia.com.
	Do you agree, my dear friend and producer, colleague, spouse?
	That's how my wife refers to you, too.
	What did your other spouse say?
	You know, it wasn't done under ceremony.
	There were no clergy present.
	It's your de facto, not de jure, I spell.
	1-8 Prager 776. And Michael in Colorado Springs.
	Hi there.
	Hello.
	Can you hear me?
	I certainly can.
	Well, good.
	I just want to know.
	I don't think you were very clear in your last segment.
	Are you saying that the numbers on Worldometer are not accurate?
	No, that's why I use it.
	You can use the numbers on Worldometer.
	Are they accurate?
	Well, yes.
	Why do you think I quote them almost every day?
	It's not Worldometer that's the issue.
	It's the reporting.
	Worldometer, I believe...
	Then you think the numbers are not accurate?
	No, I asked the question whether they are, but it's not Worldometer's fault.
	Worldometer gets...
	Gets numbers from countries.
	I don't know if every hospital...
	So I don't care whose fault it is.
	Well, I do.
	Okay, so we have a different question of whose fault.
	You're insinuating that I think that...
	I don't know, but I do cite them as if they are.
	Do you have any reason to doubt that they're accurate?
	If you listen to me, you heard.
	I think that many doctors are...
	Doctors, I don't know this.
	I know this from doctors.
	There are many articles about this, that there is a willingness to cite that COVID was the killer when in fact it was something else and the person happened to be positive for COVID. Does that not make sense to you?
	Do you think that that never happens?
	I don't think it happens, no.
	Okay.
	You seem to say that, I think you said, that hospitals have an incentive to inflate the COVID numbers.
	Yes, that's right.
	Do you have an incentive to deflate them?
	Yes, I do.
	So should we trust you?
	Yes, because I do not let incentives...
	So we should not trust the hospital.
	That's right.
	I think that I have proven over 35 years that I'm honest.
	I don't know if the medical establishment has proven over 35 years how honest it is when the biggest journals of medicine have retracted their hydroxychloroquine studies as incompetent.
	I don't recall having to retract anything I've said in 35 years like Lancet had to.
	So just to be clear, because you like clarity, the hospitals have an incentive and so we should not trust them.
	No, I didn't say that is correct.
	That is what I am saying.
	That's right.
	But I have proven my honesty over a longer period, especially in the recent past, because of what has happened in medicine and in the arts, etc.
	We'll be back!
	You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
	The Dennis Prager Show.
	live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berka.
	Yeah. .
	And we are looking at potentially trillions of dollars worth of additional debt if he becomes president.
	Am I wrong, Trish?
	No, you're not wrong at all.
	You're absolutely right.
	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.
	Just looking at it through the prism of what is best for our markets, what is best for our economy, what is best for our future.
	Those are policies that will not benefit us, Seb.
	Not in any way, shape, or form.
	You want to tax the heck out of everybody?
	Guess what?
	Nobody's going to want to work.
	It's actually that simple.
	It's been done all around the world.
	You take your pick.
	USSR, Venezuela, Communist Cambodia.
	It never works.
	Now, as far as this whole environmental thing goes, look, I'm not going to sit here and say that we shouldn't have high-speed rails.
	I mean, hey, that would be kind of nice, right?
	But it's going to be hard to do it to Hawaii, like Maisie Hirono.
	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.
	We need to have this opportunity to grow like you guys did.
	Well, I'm sorry, you cannot surrender to these guys and allow them the opportunity to grow effectively at our expense.

	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.
	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 or 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.

	And then go to my guest, a doctor on this issue from flattenthefear.com.
	Thank you.
	The last caller asked me if I had an incentive to hold that the numbers are lower, the numbers of death, and I said yes.
	And he said, out to the hospitals, and I said yes.
	So he asked, why should I trust you, who has an incentive any more than they?
	Well, aside from the retractions that I mentioned in the medical establishment on this issue, And my 35 years of never having to retract something, there's a bigger reason.
	Hospitals have a financial incentive to lie about COVID. I have no financial incentive whatsoever.
	I have an ideological incentive.
	And my incentive, to be totally clear, is the fewer deaths, The sooner we can end the lockdown, which is causing havoc in so many people's lives.
	USA Today, which is on the left.
	Our ruling, true.
	We rate the claim that hospitals get paid more if patients are listed as COVID-19 and on ventilators as true.
	Hospitals and doctors get paid more for Medicare patients diagnosed with COVID-19 or if it's considered presumed.
	They have COVID-19.
	Absent a laboratory-confirmed test.
	And three times more if the patient is placed on a ventilator.
	Okay.
	So, we have very different incentives.
	Flattenthefear.com is an important website.
	Mostly manned, if I may use the term, by doctors.
	Dr. Lee Gross is a family practice physician in Northport, Florida, president of the Docs for Patient Care Foundation, and he is with the FlattenTheFear.com people.
	Doctor, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Thank you very much for having me.
	I appreciate it.
	Where is your city?
	I know Florida really well, but I don't know where your city is.
	Yeah, so we're in southwest Florida on the Gulf Coast in southern Sarasota County.
	We're actually the population hub of Sarasota County right now, the third largest city in the state of Florida by land size.
	Really?
	So if I go to Tampa and then I go west, I go to Sarasota or southwest, and then where, what is it, Northport?
	Yes, Northport's about 20 minutes south of Sarasota.
	Okay, I love that area.
	That's a great area.
	You're a lucky man.
	Absolutely spectacularly beautiful.
	Come down and visit us sometime.
	I go to that area a lot because I'm on in Tampa and Sarasota.
	Anyway, it's a pleasure to have you.
	I know this puts you on the spot a bit.
	Are you getting a lot of visitors to flatten the fear?
	We are, but we certainly could use more.
	So we appreciate the attention.
	And I appreciate your insight that you just gave regarding the hospitals and the financial incentives.
	I just happen to serve on the board of the hospital here in this area, so I'm happy to sort of enlighten us.
	Yes, good, good.
	That's perfect.
	Go ahead.
	So, you know, we're a four-profit hospital, and I can tell you that the volume in the hospital is down about 30 to 40 percent.
	So while our intensive care unit numbers look astronomical, the rest of the hospital is pretty empty.
	And so when you've canceled elective cases and you have patients that are fearful for stepping into the hospital...
	Instead of coming to the hospital, they're having heart attacks and strokes at home, and they're dying at home instead of coming into the hospital in the emergency rooms.
	These things are all still happening in our community.
	They're still getting hip fractures.
	They're still having strokes.
	They're still having diabetic surges, and yet they're afraid to come to the doctor.
	They're afraid to come to the hospital because we're inflating these numbers to where everybody is in a total state of panic.
	And frankly, the hospital spent the last five months planning for surge capacity.
	So while we were saying bend the fear, or bend the curve, bend the curve, well, we bent the curve.
	And in that time we bent the curve, we built in surge capacity.
	And so while you're seeing a hospital rate that's near 100%, I'll also tell you it's near 100% every year because it's very expensive to keep an intensive care unit bed staffed and empty.
	So those numbers are high, but we have huge surge capacity that's not built into these intensive care unit numbers that are largely being reported.
	Wow.
	Look, it must drive, it drives me nuts, but I'm not a doctor.
	As a doctor, you must be driven nuts by the amount of fear that is propagated.
	Pandemic, a medical crisis of which this nation has not seen in over a hundred years, and our healthcare workers are being laid off.
	All right, hold it there.
	Forgive me.
	I want to continue, but I don't want to interrupt you.
	I will be back in a moment.
	Go right now.
	Go to flattenthefear.com while we have a break.
	I was listening to Sebastian Gorka do an ad for Relief Factor, and it's true.
	The man had pain for almost a decade, took Relief Factor, and it's gone.
	I know Sebastian Gorka.
	He's not going to make up a story.
	And so many people have said that.
	Now they have video testimonials at ReliefFactor.com.
	And I really, really ask you to spend $19.95 to test it for three weeks.
	You'll know if it works.
	800-500-8384 relieffactor.com 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.
	Correct.
	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?

	I'm not asking you whose job that...
	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 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 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 the...
	Okay, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	If you want an antidote to fear and prefer truth, flattenthefear.com.
	Just visiting it is a vote for truth in this country.
	One of those affiliated with it is Dr. Lee Gross, a physician in North Port, Florida, 20 minutes south of Sarasota.
	President of Docs for Patient Care Foundation.
	That's the number four.
	And is with, again, flattenthefear.com.
	So I was mentioning to you, it was very important.
	I'm interrupting myself.
	I just want to note how important what you said was.
	That the way, as I understood what you said, The way in which hospitals work is very similar to airlines.
	They schedule, prior to COVID, they scheduled flights based on basically having a full flight.
	Otherwise, they fly at a loss.
	You have the number of ICU units based on essentially full capacity at any given time.
	Is that correct?
	That is absolutely correct.
	Right.
	So when the press reports full ICU, it's meaningless.
	Well, it's situation normal.
	I mean, that is our status quo every year.
	That's our status quo during flu season.
	You know, that is what we're used to.
	And knowing what was coming, or at least seeing the experience in Europe, we've prepared for the worst-case scenario, which is hundreds of patients needing intensive care units, hundreds of patients needing ventilators.
	Now, while we're still certainly seeing patients in the hospital, The fact that we're near 100% reporting is nowhere near a report of how many beds are available.
	So having said that, just because there's a bed available doesn't mean you want to be in it, and that doesn't mean disregard all caution.
	You had mentioned about corruption of the science.
	This is something that we're not used to in healthcare.
	We're not used to...
	To politicizing the healthcare message to the point where we're actually manipulating scientific data.
	But what happened in the New England Journal, what happened with Lancet, the studies weren't just wrong, they were fake.
	That is not something, Lancet doesn't retract studies easily.
	And so those incorrect studies, those fake studies, completely changed guidance for hospitals all around the country as to how they were treating patients early.
	And essentially abandoning what may ultimately prove to save hundreds of thousands of people.
	So we do have to flatten the fear.
	We have to get out in front of this.
	And what we're seeing in Florida, this is largely being driven by data in six counties.
	We have 67 counties in Florida.
	Almost all these cases, the vast majority of the cases, are being reported out of six counties.
	61 counties are not having a crisis.
	In fact, in many counties, the only cases you have are in the prisons or in the nursing home.
	Now, we certainly fear and are saddened by every single one of those cases, but that's not a reason to close schools.
	And why close the schools?
	Because the nursing home has an outbreak in it.
	That doesn't make sense.
	So what's appropriate for Broward County and Fort Lauderdale may not be appropriate for Wachula, Florida in the middle of the state.
	That's been the case the whole time.
	I wrote about this months ago.
	Why are we closing down North Dakota because New York is having a crisis?
	Would Manhattan have shut down?
	That's the 64th.
	There's no question.
	They wouldn't even know what's happening.
	Right.
	So we've had, you know, and every death is a tragic death.
	We've had 14 children die of COVID since February.
	That is a tragedy, and those children's lives and those families will never be the same.
	But we've also, in that same period of time, had 47 deaths in that same population from the flu and 72 from pneumonia.
	When have we shut down the schools for a flu outbreak?
	And we have a vaccine for the flu, and half the country doesn't take it.
	There is no guarantee, even though we just signed a contract with Pfizer for hundreds of millions of dollars in vaccines, there's no guarantee we're going to have a vaccine.
	We're not, as a nation, going to hide our way out of this problem.
	We're going to have to learn how to interact with this.
	That's right.
	You're good.
	And move on.
	You're good.
	If I lived in Northport, you'd be my doctor.
	So I was talking to you about the fear, and you were commenting, when you hear the news or read the news, I mean, do you want to scream?
	What is your reaction as a physician?
	Well, my reaction was I stopped looking to the news and started putting on my own shows so that we could actually put out some factual information, stripping away the politics, stripping away the fear, and actually getting to the heart of the data.
	So one of the interesting and most prominent data points for me was that when this first started emerging in Florida, I'm struggling right now just with, you know, I think everybody's struggling.
	So law school, I just started law school, and it's been rather difficult just because My teachers are so liberal and all of our classes are affected by my extremely unfair policies.
	I feel like conservative kids are picked on.
	We had the district attorney of Suffolk County come to class and she happens to be a black woman and she tried to make me apologize for my whiteness.
	Are you serious?
	You're serious?
	Yeah, she told me I needed to make atonement for my whiteness.
	And I told her, well, you know, I'm Jewish.
	My grandma survived the Holocaust and me emigrated here.
	So...
	What did she say to that?
	Well, she said, you know, well, your white skin gives you privilege.
	And I told her, white privilege doesn't exist.
	You could watch Craig or you.
	You know...
	One of my favorite, Brandon Tatum is one of my favorite people to watch and so I love his videos and his breaking down of white privilege really makes me believe that it just doesn't exist.
	So she told me to apologize for my white fragility and then she ended class by telling us that she would never hire a racist and that we need him to start building bridges.
	Why would they build bridges to whites?
	If whites are all racist, why do you build a bridge to them?
	Well, I don't know because two of my professors are black and one of my professors is white.
	I only have three professors and the only professor I just like happens to be the white professor.
	But, I mean, I just feel like there's so many privileged black people in Boston.
	I just don't see how my whiteness has affected anybody.
	The Japanese were interned in internment camps, and they do better than whites in America.
	They earn more than whites, Japanese Americans.
	Yeah, well...
	Listen, you're terrific.
	You're terrific.
	Send me an email.
	I want to know who you are.
	I want to give you encouragement.
	Boy, there's a call here, too.
	Oh yes, David in Studio City, California.
	My wife went to urgent care.
	They put on her release info COVID. She didn't have COVID for the gentleman who asked about the incentives and about the people who didn't get hydroxychloroquine.
	We have the male-female hour coming up.
	Oh, Dr. Simone Gold is on.
	I didn't even see her.
	She's the best.
	All right, we have a third hour.

	I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm tired of being censored by the liberal tech giants.
	So I'm taking a different approach in using SquadPod, a team communication and collaboration app for businesses, sales teams, schools, and churches.
	It has everything I need, chat, video calls, with screen sharing, file storage, etc.
	Plus, it's 100% private, non-discoverable, and American-made, owned and operated.
	It's time you take back your privacy, intellectual property, and write to free speech with Squad Pod.
	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?
	Some of the scenes of violent protests are just amazing.
	They're irrational evil.

	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.

	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.
	Thank you, Larry Elder.

	So you know what?
	This is the way it works in life.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	This is the Male Female Hour.
	I got a subject today that has nothing to do with COVID. Are you ready?
	So here it is.
	Daily Mail.
	Just yesterday.
	So listen to this.
	Title, oh dear, a woman has revealed she cheated on her husband one week before their wedding and what happened when he found out.
	Here we go.
	I read to you part of the article.
	An American woman has opened up about cheating on her husband-to-be at her bachelorette party and going through with the wedding anyway and how her shameful secret finally came to light.
	When one of her best friends intervened.
	Evangeline Grace, a writer for Mediums, P.S. I Love You, insists that she loved her ex-husband, Jaden, but couldn't express at the time that she wasn't ready to settle down and wasn't excited about the future she saw with him.
	So instead of breaking things off, she did something drastic and catastrophic just before her wedding.
	Sleeping with a stranger in a bathroom bar and keeping it to herself for years after.
	I skipped because I'm not going to read the whole piece.
	She remembers feeling anxious the night of her bachelorette party before she even got to the bar to celebrate.
	She tried to fend off her discomfort by chugging cocktails.
	Her friends cheered her on, assuming she was in a great mood, when in fact, she was drinking to escape the warning voice in her head, which was telling her she wasn't ready to walk down the aisle.
	On her way back from the bathroom, Evangeline ran into a dark-haired stranger, quote-unquote, who chatted her up.
	That's the British way of saying flirted with her or what would we say for chatted her up?
	Flirted?
	But there's another term.
	Huh?
	Came on to her.
	What is the word for speaking so as to seduce?
	I thought we had a word in English.
	Hit on.
	They're all accurate, but it doesn't matter.
	Okay, we're good.
	He chatted her up.
	Almost immediately, she kissed him, and they were soon having a quick, quote, soulless and unsatisfying, unquote, sex in a restroom stall.
	Despite the infidelity, Evangeline did not call off the wedding or tell anyone what happened.
	Instead, she dutifully showed up on her big day.
	Feeling sick to my stomach, and filled with shame, wanting to turn around even at halfway down the aisle.
	Then I reached the altar and looked up at my husband-to-be, who had no idea how I'd betrayed him.
	I saw his eyes shining with pride and adoration, where there should have been disgust, she remembered.
	She told herself this was the right thing to do.
	That she had to quote, protect him from the trauma of learning what I had done unquote, reasoning that while she didn't deserve him, he didn't deserve a broken heart.
	She even managed to convince him that she was crying happy tears when they shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
	Evangeline kept her ruinous secret until a couple of years later.
	When her friend Nina noticed she was more and more unhappy.
	After inviting her over for dinner and drinks, Nina pressed her to share, and Evangeline confessed what she had done.
	Nina didn't let her off the hook, calling her delusional for thinking she was doing the right thing by lying.
	She accused Evangeline of manipulating Jaden.
	And insisted that if Evangeline didn't tell him, Nina would do it herself.
	Evangeline still couldn't bring herself to do it, so Nina did, and Jaden filed for divorce a week later.
	All right.
	Now, if Jaden loved her, Which is the implication of the story.
	Do you agree with what he did?
	Now, there is so much I don't know, so I make this announcement.
	I am only reacting to what I read.
	If the marriage was on the rocks anyway, it doesn't apply, and so on.
	But reacting only to what I read?
	He comes off as a jerk.
	As a very insecure man, I might add.
	And I say this, as a man.
	If my wife told me two years into a marriage which I loved her, and she loved me, that she had done this a week before the wedding, the thought of divorcing her would not have occurred to me.
	On what grounds did he divorce her?
	Ego?
	Contempt?
	Call me up.
	I mean, tell me if you feel that Jaden was right.
	I'm curious to know the reasoning.
	Well, she lied to me for two years.
	She didn't want to hurt you for two years.
	While I believe deeply that you should be able and truly say anything to your spouse, where there is gratuitous hurt.
	I mean, she obviously read him correctly.
	It was traumatizing.
	And in my view, that man is easily traumatized.
	I find that mind-boggling.
	She wasn't, I mean, yes, it was wrong.
	People do wrong things.
	Was it evil?
	No, it was wrong.
	You know, if she had committed armed robbery a week before the wedding, that's a serious, right?
	I mean, I'm curious.
	Do you, if you agree with Jaden, do you?
	Do you think it is on the level of, well, you know, I didn't want to tell them, but I shot up a bank.
	Nobody died.
	Okay, then you say, I don't really know this person.
	That's evil.
	Remember, among other things, all evil is sin, but not every sin is evil.
	There are sins of weakness.
	1-8 Prager 776-877-243-7776 There's one other issue here.
	Should the friend have told the husband?
	What the hell is it her business to tell the husband?
	What kind of friend is that?
	Okay.
	This is the Male Female Hour, and I am not Jaden.

	And we are looking at potentially trillions of dollars worth of additional debt if he becomes president.
	Am I wrong, Trish?
	No, you're not wrong at all.
	You're absolutely right.
	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.
	Just looking at it through the prism of what is best for our markets, what is best for our economy, what is best for our future.
	Those are policies that will not benefit us, Seb.
	Not in any way, shape, or form.
	You wanna tax the heck out of everybody?
	Guess what?
	Nobody's gonna wanna work.
	It's actually that simple.
	It's been done all around the world.
	You take your pick.
	USSR, Venezuela, Communist Cambodia.
	It never works.
	Now, as far as this whole environmental thing goes, look, I'm not going to sit here and say that we shouldn't have high-speed rails.
	I mean, hey, that would be kind of nice, right?
	But it's going to be hard to do it to Hawaii, like Maisie Hirono.
	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.
	We need to have this opportunity to grow like you guys did.
	Well, I'm sorry, you cannot surrender to these guys and allow them the opportunity to grow effectively at our expense.

	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.
	In a way, that's good because it makes it harder for Trump to hang the dreaded liberal elitist albatross around his neck.

	Which I hate to do, because that knocks out the whole humor part.
	So I read to you, it's the male-female hour, and I read to you this story from Daily Mail.
	A woman had a fling with a guy.
	She was drunk at her bachelorette party a week before the wedding.
	Did her thing with him, which she called completely unsatisfying soulless sex.
	Never told her husband.
	Finally, her friend, stupid friend in my opinion, meddling friend, decided to tell the husband.
	That she had done this, which apparently she was wracked with guilt over...
	I mean, that's...
	You know, I wish people were wracked with guilt over evil more than over sins of weakness.
	I do draw a distinction.
	I consider what she did more stupid than I do evil.
	By the way, if my wife did that, which is not likely, and she told me, we would then go out to dinner.
	I would be curious to know what happened.
	It would have no effect, none, on me or our marriage.
	And this guy, a week later, after the friend told him, this is years later, Filed for divorce.
	I don't know.
	Maybe I eat different breakfast cereal than other people.
	I just, I can't relate to his reaction.
	Can you?
	Alright, so we both eat different breakfast cereals.
	Do you eat breakfast?
	Yeah, I don't eat breakfast.
	Do you eat breakfast?
	But not cereal.
	I suspect you haven't had cereal in a long time.
	All right, let's see what you folks have to say.
	And, uh, Stephen in Hudson, Wisconsin.
	The famous Stephen of Hudson.
	Yeah, I didn't feel like she wanted to be married anyway.
	So he actually probably did her a favor.
	As far as a friend goes, misery loves companies.
	Tom said when my wife divorced me, my first wife divorced me, so it's probably she was miserable and she wanted her friend to be just as miserable.
	So you're not defending the friend, but you agree that they should have divorced.
	Is that your point?
	Well, it just doesn't sound like she was very happy with him all along.
	She said she was too young.
	Everything from what I heard in the letter sounded like she was not a happy camper with the marriage.
	She was still an anima.
	Right.
	That's an interesting point.
	I would love to have her on the show.
	I mean, I have to take the article at face value because I don't know anything other than what she wrote.
	Her being unhappy, according to this report, was over what she had done.
	Not over the marriage.
	Anyway, it's not...
	Well, we both agree, even the famous Stephen of Hudson.
	That the Friends meddling was not called for.
	All right, let's see here.
	Glenn in Naperville, Illinois.
	I pronounced it right, correct?
	Yes, sir, you did.
	That's because I get a lot of calls from Naperville.
	All right, hi.
	Hello, sir.
	You know, I was thinking that this girl...
	The friend, rather, in a sense was given a bit more and took more responsibility than what she should have.
	I think, at least, I'm thinking from a biblical perspective, the command when you sin, at least Christian biblical thinking, is to confess and then repent, and that is...
	Again, the way I think of it biblically is between that girl and God.
	Because there was no covenant, she should have confessed her sin to God, moved on, and received the forgiveness, cleansing, but the girl didn't do that and confessed to her friend, and her friend couldn't handle that.
	You're making a good point.
	The point that I'm extracting is...
	That a healthy, and there are a lot of unhealthy religious people, but a healthy religious person would have a better way of dealing with that guilt than she did.
	That's correct.
	And the husband would have had, if she was a relatively healthy religious person too, would have been quick to listen and very slow to anger as well as...
	Yes, exactly.
	How old are you?
	28. Yes, sir.
	Been faithfully married for about six and a half years.
	We've got a couple kids, another on the way.
	No kidding.
	That's great.
	I'm happy for you.
	So if your wife told you this or her friend told you this, Would you divorce her?
	No.
	I would probably find a pastor or a really good friend that we both trust and make it clear that our commitment to our marriage and to our God comes first.
	Right.
	Bless you, my friend. - Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show. - All right.
	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 during 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 us.
	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, is 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?
	I don't think they have a perfect answer for that just yet.

	What do you suppose would make it so possible that people could be talking openly about 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.
	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.
	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.

	This would go under country western, correct?
	I love it.
	Say classic?
	Why is it classic?
	Oh, interesting.

	Okay, my friends, you're listening to The Dennis Prager Show, The Male-Female Hour.
	I read to you a story from Daily Mail, and the woman described that she had this.
	She was hesitant about getting married.
	The bachelorette party, got drunk.
	Did what she did with the guy she found there in the bar bathroom of all places.
	Was racked with guilt.
	Went to the wedding anyway.
	Never told her husband.
	I think she has more issues than this, you know?
	I mean, to be honest.
	A, to do it.
	B, to be...
	You know, increasingly depressed over it in the marriage.
	But anyway, a friend told the husband and then he divorced her.
	This was years into the marriage.
	Did he do the right thing based on what we know?
	Okay, that's the thing.
	Alrighty, let's go to Craig in Chicago.
	Hello, Craig.
	Hi, Dennis.
	First thing, I want to thank you so much.
	For all the wisdom you share with all of us.
	I've learned so much from you.
	And so appreciative of what I learned from you.
	Thank you very much.
	The thing that is troubling on what you read is, one, that her friend couldn't stay on her side of the street.
	And it really was none of her friend's business to share it with her husband or not.
	But the real issue to me is that part of making amends is admitting our wrongs.
	And I would be very much like you if that happened to me.
	I surely would not divorce my wife.
	I'd have so much more respect that she felt comfortable enough to be honest with me.
	And for me, it would be very important to forgive.
	It's part of how I try to live my life and look at things.
	Well, you sound like such a man.
	I think most men would say that.
	But as I have, the but is there's got to be more to the story, certainly psychologically, because she doesn't sound like a happy human being to begin with. because she doesn't sound like a happy human being to And it just...
	It's...
	Not all the info is there.
	I mean, all the info in the sense of this is what happened and this is what happened might be there.
	But maybe the friend knew she wanted to get out of the marriage and she facilitated it.
	I mean, if he divorced her that readily, you know, how happy was he with her?
	Is that a fair question?
	It's not my way of thinking.
	All right, let's move on here.
	And Sarah in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
	Howdy there.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thank you so much for the calm with which you present all of the different angles and point of view that we can digest what you're saying and accept it without getting excited or induced fear.
	Great.
	Thank you.
	I have been in a similar situation to where my first husband and I or I had I filed for divorce, and my divorce was first filed because of abuse, verbal abuse and things being hurled across the room.
	And all of a sudden, out of the woodwork comes this female voice over the phone apologizing to me, saying, I'm so sorry.
	It's not because of what I did that you're divorcing.
	Female voice just happened to be a friend of the family, you know, that we...
	Wow, so you would have divorced anyway, right?
	Okay, I'll get your answer upon return.

	And we are looking at potentially trillions of dollars worth of additional debt if he becomes president.
	Am I wrong, Trish?
	No, you're not wrong at all.
	You're absolutely right.
	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.
	Just looking at it through the prism of what is best for our markets, what is best for our economy, what is best for our future.
	Those are policies that will not benefit us, Seb.
	Not in any way, shape, or form.
	You want to tax the heck out of everybody?
	Guess what?
	Nobody's going to want to work.
	It's actually that simple.
	It's been done all around the world.
	You take your pick.
	USSR, Venezuela, communist Cambodia.
	It never works.
	Now, as far as this whole environmental thing goes, look, I'm not going to sit here and say that we shouldn't have high-speed rails.
	I mean, hey, that would be kind of nice, right?
	But it's going to be hard to do it to Hawaii, like Maisie Hirono.
	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.
	We need to have this opportunity to grow like you guys did.
	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
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Oh, I get it.
	Same thing.
	Same theme.
	Male Female Hour Dennis Prager here.
	And we're talking about the Daily Mail story of the woman who had a five-minute fling.
	At a bachelorette party.
	She was very hesitant about getting married.
	Got drunk.
	Did this with some stranger.
	Never told her husband.
	Friend did two years later and he divorced her.
	Okay.
	Back to Hendersonville, North Carolina.
	Now let me understand.
	Your first marriage, he was abusive to you.
	So how is that related to our subject?
	Well, I was going on because I was also told later that he was also not true to our marriage, that he was having an affair with a friend of the family.
	But to think of that, if he had not been abusive, you know, I don't think one indiscretion would have caused me to have continued with the divorce, but I realized that there were more.
	As far as this gal, with what she did prior to the marriage, she was drunk, and then she was riddled with guilt, and she lived with it.
	I agree with the second caller that, yeah, confession of sin to the Lord is where you'd leave it.
	But also with this friend of hers that came in and told of the indiscretion, she shows that, too, she is untrustworthy, and I wondered what her...
	Yeah.
	Maybe she should have gotten a divorce from her friend.
	You know, it's really too bad.
	Although, we may make an effort to have this woman on.
	If she wrote about it, I don't know why she wouldn't want to talk about it.
	Let's try to do some detective work.
	Let's get the friend on, too.
	Let's get them shouting at each other.
	Like, what was that TV show again for years where people of not such great psychological health would start screaming at each other?
	You know.
	Yeah, Jerry Springer.
	Yeah, let's do a Jerry Springer type thing.
	Exactly.
	Do you know, folks, in the 1990s, there was an ad...
	In Times Square, gigantic ad for two shows, the Jerry Springer Show and the Dennis Prager Show.
	I had, in the 1990s, a TV show.
	And it was good.
	Got canceled in a half a year, but it was good.
	And the...
	If you could, I wonder, why aren't there any...
	It makes sense, I guess.
	Why aren't there any of the segments on YouTube?
	It was really good.
	You know, I had Al Sharpton on.
	Did you know that?
	He was one of my guests, Al Sharpton.
	And who was the very famous astronomer?
	He was a household name as an astronomer, which is rare.
	I had him on, and I'll never forget, he said, Dennis, when I look up into the skies, into the universe, I realize how tiny and insignificant we human beings are.
	And I thought, God, is that uplifting.
	I even said that.
	All right, let's go to Sandra in Pueblo, Colorado.
	Hello, Sandra.
	Hello.
	Can you hear me?
	I can.
	Okay, well, let me first say I feel really proud that I finally get to speak on your show.
	Thank you.
	I listen to you whenever I'm in the car.
	Which isn't very often, but I really appreciate your show.
	By the way, forgive me, forgive me.
	I just would like to tell you, you are permitted to listen at home as well.
	I'm not real tech savvy yet.
	I'm not sure.
	It just entails the radio.
	Okay, anyway, go ahead.
	You know, so I had to make a few notes here so that I could keep my thoughts.
	Right.
	So I've got to go through my notes here.
	But it sounded like the marriage was definitely unstable from the beginning.
	So, you know, both individuals, I think, probably have social issues from a long way back, from time beginning.
	I wondered who the lady is.
	Which person wrote to you?
	Was it the wife?
	No, no, neither wrote to me.
	This was an article in the Daily Mail in England.
	It's a published piece.
	Okay.
	Completely different, Dan.
	Because I thought your idea of bringing her on kind of to...
	No, no.
	I was just saying it would be a joy to get them on, you know, if I could.
	That's all.
	But I have no contact with them.
	I think it would be nice to get her on and give her, you know, because if she's seeking help, you know, you could give some of your wife's advice because, you know, it's a good thing that this article didn't go to You know, the guy who is the host of Family Feud, because he offers his advice to people a lot of times.
	He's not really in the best interest of the people, I think.
	Yeah, well, listen, I've got to let you go because of time, but I thank you.
	That's why I would love, aside from even giving any advice, I can't invite somebody on to give them advice.
	It's a little arrogant on my part.
	But I can invite them on to find out what they were thinking.
	The human condition, my dear friends, is infinitely complex.
	That is the root of the problem.
	Young people in America think that life should be almost perfect.
	When you have to make up stuff, as is done constantly, Uncle Ben is racist.
	Washington Redskins is racist.
	It means you have a utopian vision of life that will kill the good, because the best is the enemy of the better.
	I'm Dennis Prager and I'm tired of being censored by the liberal tech giants.
	So I'm taking a different approach in using Squatpod, a team communication and collaboration app for businesses, sales teams, schools and churches.
	It has everything I need.
	Chat, video calls with screen sharing, file storage, etc.
	Plus, it's 100% private, non-discoverable, and American-made, owned and operated.
	It's time you take back your privacy, intellectual property, and write to free speech with SquadPod.
	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?
	Some of the scenes of violent protests are just amazing.
	They're irrational evil.

	I don't know if you were briefed by the producer, but I am, in fact, wrong.
	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, but yeah.
	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 I can't talk I'm I'm enjoying this too much.

	50s is really prior to Kennedy assassination, November 63. Then everything changed.
	Yes, indeed.
	Somebody says that the husband did the right thing.
	Doreen of Los Angeles.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Hi.
	She did the right thing.
	They had an emotional barrier between them.
	She was not being authentically intimate with him, getting to know him as a human being or letting him get to know her as a human being.
	Let me ask you a question.
	If you got drunk and did something truly stupid a week before your wedding, and you thought it would really have a terrible impact on your husband, would you tell him?
	I... probably not.
	But...
	I am coming from a different perspective.
	My husband drank himself to death through a midlife crisis.
	I wish...
	To heaven that he would have cheated on me because we could have absolutely worked through this.
	But we had emotional intimacy up until that point when he started drinking and he pulled away.
	So she was hesitant about being open with him to begin with because she was hesitant about getting married.
	Right.
	And therefore, what's the upshot?
	And therefore, she would never...
	Emotionally connected with him and never let him emotionally connect with her.
	So they have issues.
	You're right.
	I think that's fair.
	I'm just saying that with a healthier person.
	I mean, a healthy person probably wouldn't have done what she did, but just putting that aside.
	A healthier person would have...
	It's a very good question.
	I mean, can a healthy person just forget something in effect?
	In quotes, forget something that they did and move on with life.
	If it wasn't evil, I think they should.
	I wanted to get to Jennifer and Wilkes-Barre.
	I'm so sorry.
	Same with Gabe and John, Robert and Vincent and Rachel.
	It's the painful part of being a talk show host.

	It's called the Heavy 100. And it's a big deal.
	And this is awkward for me because I'm always embarrassed to toot my own horn in any way, shape, or form, but so proud to be on that list again.
	And I thought it would be kind of...
	Kind of fun to have Michael back on the show.
	It's been a while.
	We welcome Michael Harrison back to the Mike Gallagher Show.
	It's been way too long, my friend.
	Can I just quickly start by...
	Thank you for including us in your heavy hundred list.
	We're proud to be number nine, maybe number one in your hearts, but number nine in your program.
	And the list is out.
	And I know that's a tough list for you guys to put together, but please know how, and I know that you know this, but I've expressed it to you many times, how honored and humbled we are to be a part of that incredible list of broadcasters.
	Well, thank you for those kind words.
	Certainly, you don't have to thank us.
	We should thank you for providing us with a great name and a great career and a great example of talk radio that you've been doing for years.
	Mike, you're number nine out of thousands and thousands of people on the radio.

	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.
	We need to have this opportunity to grow like you guys did.
	Well, I'm sorry, you cannot surrender to these guys and allow them the opportunity to grow effectively at our expense.

	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 had dementia.
	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.

	I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm tired of being censored by the liberal tech giants.
	So I'm taking a different approach in using Squatpod, a team communication and collaboration app for businesses, sales teams, schools and churches.
	It has everything I need, chat, video calls, with screen sharing, file storage, etc.
	Plus, it's 100% private, non-discoverable, and American-made, owned and operated.
	It's time you take back your privacy, intellectual property, and write to free speech with Squad Pod.
	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?
	Some of the scenes of violent protests are just amazing.
	They're irrational evil.
	Dennis Prager and Dr. Wayne Grudem confront the toughest social issues we face today, explained through historical, political and never before told personal stories.
	More rabbis, priests and ministers fear the left than fear God.
	When you stand before God at the final judgment, what will you say to him about how you voted on abortion laws?
	Okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	We had a nice island in the midst of the crises of the moment in the male-female hour just last hour.
	And now we return to the world in which we live now.
	There is a pandemic of fear.
	There's a pandemic of lockdown.
	There's a pandemic of hysteria on racism.
	Those are the three pandemics that worry me more than the pandemic of COVID-19.
	Is this the...
	No, it's not the first.
	I was going to ask, is this the first international virus that doesn't have a geographic name?
	Like the Hong Kong flu, the Ebola virus.
	SARS didn't.
	That's it.
	I know.
	That's a new WHO guideline.
	Is that why SARS became SARS and not its origin?
	We live in a world of lies.
	You see, this is a perfect example.
	There was more racism in the 1960s and 50s.
	There was also more truth.
	So there was better and there was worse things.
	The trouble is, people think that you can't cure the racism problem without lying.
	I am reading a truly disturbing article, an AP Major League Baseball players taking visible stance on social justice.
	That's just what we need.
	Another sport to be ruined.
	Another arena for the left to infect.
	I can't watch this stuff.
	I was a baseball fan.
	I am not now.
	Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen and manager Tori Lovullo said they had several discussions at the team level about the way it wants to support social justice.
	Now imagine, just imagine if the media were right-wing, not left-wing, and they were just gung-ho on the issue of abortion.
	Would teams have great discussions on abortion and life?
	By the way...
	I do?
	Oh.
	And...
	If that was a...
	If that were something that teams did, that would be lovely, but I still would not want that to go on to the...
	into baseball.
	Baseball and football, basketball, hockey, they should be arenas of no social concerns.
	On the field, in the stadium, people of every background philosophically should feel comfortable.
	This is brand new in America.
	This is the sickness and evil of the left.
	Example, 10,000.
	I have no interest in something I love, sports.
	I have no interest.
	You have ruined it.
	You cowards of baseball, you cowards of football and cowards of basketball.
	You have ruined it.
	I have no interest in seeing social justice messages on the uniforms of NBA players.
	Even if I agree with the message, I have no interest in it.
	It's all to feel good about themselves and avoid censure from the media.
	That's all it is.
	They're cowards.
	Cowardice at the Arizona Diamondbacks.
	Cowardice at the San Francisco Giants.
	Cowardice at all of these teams.
	How can we avoid being attacked by the press?
	That is what animates them.
	They have zero interest in what they're saying.
	And they should have zero interest.
	It's a wonderful country, you fools!
	I have a lot of listeners in Arizona.
	Don't watch your team.
	They will get the message, I promise.
	They're cowards.
	They go where the money and the pressure are.
	That's it.
	They have no convictions.
	Do you understand?
	None.
	Same with you everywhere in the country.
	It's unbelievable.
	Miami Marlins pitcher Stephen Tarpley agreed it's something players are actively talking about.
	That's fine.
	They can talk about anything they want.
	He said within the Marlins there are a lot of good discussions and a lot of open minds and open hearts, meaning people who agree, oh, of course, blacks are totally mistreated in this country.
	Oh, of course.
	What a systemically racist...
	In fact, one of them said it.
	I'm going to do a...
	I'm going to do...
	Yeah, there we go.
	Systemic.
	This is Hazen.
	Back to him, the GM at the Arizona Diamondbacks.
	Opening day will be another marker in that.
	What is that?
	I guess.
	Support for social justice.
	But it's going to continue to endure beyond, as well, the changes in terms of highlighting systemic racism, injustice, equality.
	Those issues are going to be here forever.
	Really?
	So you're going to screw the fans and screw baseball forever?
	Maybe somebody should start the NPMLB, the Non-Political Major League Baseball.
	Our task is to bring you the joy of great athletes.
	That's it.
	That is our role as athletes.
	The business of baseball is to provide a place where left and right can unite because there is no other place they can.
	You on the left have ruined the last place all Americans can enjoy something.
	It doesn't bother you.
	You are proud of yourself.
	That's the story.
	It's an amazing thing.
	1-8 Prager 776. Are you going to be watching baseball, basketball, or football?

	A doctor that I have spoken to a number of times and who's active for truth is Dr. Simone Gold.
	Hello, Dr. Simone Gold.
	How are you?
	Good morning, Dennis.
	Hi.
	Great, thank you.
	So you called in, and I saw your name, and I'm happy to put you on.
	Thank you.
	Well, a couple people, I'm at work clinically right now.
	As you remember, I'm an emergency physician, but a couple of people texted me.
	You've got a call, Dennis.
	He's talking about things that you're, you know, very passionate about, so that's why I decided to call you.
	And I have so much to tell you.
	What is it that interests you the most today, or else I can just share what's going on?
	Advocates tell you that I was talking about.
	I was talking about hydroxychloroquine, and I was talking about are the numbers realistic, and I don't know the answer, and opening up the schools, a whole host of things.
	Right.
	So, you know, I'm very passionate, especially, about hydroxychloroquine.
	You know, it's been so misinformed in the media.
	Just to remind everybody, it's an FDA-approved drug for 65 years.
	We give it to pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, elderly, and immune-compromised.
	And if you do a Google search of hydroxychloroquine before, you know, March or January of 2020, there was no controversy whatsoever.
	If you go to the CDC website, hydroxychloroquine, completely safe.
	Anyone can take it.
	The only people who can't take it, according to the CDC website, are people with psoriasis.
	That's the complete exhaustive list.
	So the problem is, though, that the governors have interfered with doctors' ability to prescribe it, and they've threatened doctors, and they've empowered pharmacists to rat out physicians.
	It's really quite a situation.
	So I got to wondering, why can we not get hydroxychloroquine over-the-counter in our country?
	It's actually over-the-counter in much of the world.
	It's over-the-counter in Indonesia.
	It's over-the-counter in Iran.
	You can actually go and buy it.
	The mullahs are allowing you to buy it in Iran.
	It's over-the-counter now in most of South America.
	Up until basically January of this year, it was over-the-counter even in Canada.
	Yes, hold on.
	That's fascinating.
	Just fascinating.
	Back in a moment.

	you you 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, ran for governor twice, barely lost.
	Now, did Obama ever experience anything like wanting to go to a school and not even applying because they wouldn't take him in because he's black?
	Arthur Ashe said that he was rejected from playing Junior Davis Cup in Virginia because of racism.
	He couldn't enroll.

	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 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 us.
	You know, a couple dozen journalists outdoors in the heat and in an arena with thousands of screaming fans.
	And the message doesn't resonate 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, is 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?
	job.

	Affected your desire to watch your team.
	1-8 Prager 776. But Dr. Gold called in.
	I have great respect for her.
	She's one of these courageous physicians.
	So what were you saying about hydroxy?
	First of all, I did not know that.
	And I know a lot about hydroxychloroquine.
	I did not know.
	It's over the counter in a lot of the world.
	Are you aware?
	I'm curious to get your reaction.
	There was a huge article, I think the Washington Post, about how people are shocked at how few people are dying of COVID in India, given how many people live there and close proximity to one another and how many cases there are.
	And they never once in it mentioned how widespread the use of hydroxychloroquine is there.
	Yes, so what I have to share with your listeners is that the amount of misinformation greatly exceeds the amount of accurate information that people have.
	So in India, it's national policy that any healthcare worker can get hydroxychloroquine.
	Also, anybody can just go to the drugstore and get it.
	It's like that in much of the world.
	And the reason I'm very focused on hydroxychloroquine is we're not, as you said earlier, We are not being taken down by the virus.
	We're being taken down by the fear.
	So the way I call it is the fear has become a spider whip surrounding our society, and that's made it possible for nefarious politicians to ensnare us.
	And if Americans understood, well, first of all, if you get this virus, you're probably not going to get very sick.
	But if you're in a very tiny, tiny few population of comorbid conditions and you do get very sick, there was medicine that could have helped you not get sick.
	And there's also medicine you can take before you get it.
	There's medicine you can take early in the stages.
	So there's no reason to be living in fear whatsoever.
	There's a treatment that works with hydroxychloroquine and zinc and I think Americans need to demand and go like an uprising that why can I get this in Indonesia?
	Why can I get this in Iran?
	Why can I get this in Kazakhstan and certainly India, Pakistan?
	You can get it all over South America.
	Why can we not get this in America?
	This is crazy.
	This is really nuts.
	God bless you.
	Are you with any organization or is it Simone Gold alone?
	Well, there's a lot of physicians out there now, and we're coming to Washington next week on Monday and Tuesday.
	We're taking over.

	Coat.
	I understand, but it's just because we're wearing white coats.
	Caucasian Coat.

	Now, let me just be clear.
	The organization is America's frontline doctors.
	We stand and give alternative...
	Expert opinions to the expert that you've heard about for months that have given us disinformation.
	That's great.
	Hey, listen, I want to help you out.
	Tell me how I can cover that.
	You're sending some prayer for social YouTube and social media influencers already.
	This is going to be massively covered by social media.

	You're going to hear from the doctors, folks.
	You're going to hear from us.
	We're coming.
	You're great.
	All right, we'll talk next week then.

	Hello, Michael.
	Hey, Dennis, how are you?
	I'm all right, thank you.
	Man, I really hate what they've done to sports in this country.
	It used to be the one thing that kept everyone together, and now it's all fell apart.
	I can't watch anymore.
	I can't watch NASCAR. I can't watch baseball.
	I can't watch football.

	And that was at the same time that they were in Wahala, the town neighboring us, and just starting to burn the whole town down over a Confederate monument.
	It's just crazy, Dennis.
	Yes, it is.
	And I don't understand.

	People are weak.

	I understand it.
	I feel for you terribly.
	Somebody's calling in and saying there's always golf.
	You may be right.
	When if you turn on the golf channel, which I've seen at the restaurant that I eat at, they always have the golf channel on.
	I guess they've decided it's the only neutral thing left.
	There are no social justice messages.
	On the backs of the golfers.
	I feel for you folks.
	I really do.

	Oh, wow.
	Does Junior's Deli still exist?
	Not under that name.

	Anyway, going forward.
	I have been, since Flipper was on TV, I became a Dolphin fan in the 60s.
	I have been a long-suffering Dolphin fan, particularly last year when the byword in the NFL was tanking for Tua, which is a quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide, just a spectacular athlete.
	Anyway, and they end up not tanking and actually...
	With a winning record the last half of last season, I've been so, like all Dolphin fans, so eagerly, eagerly anticipating this season and actually being able to watch Tua play.
	And this is...
	I'm going to watch the first game of the season, but I'm going to have an extremely low threshold for this stuff.
	And if I see more of it than I want, I will not get my season ticket.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	He has season tickets to the Dolphins.
	Maybe, you know what may just happen is what happened to the university.
	Sports will become like the universities where only leftists are welcome.
	It's truly a division.
	It's more than irony.
	The obscenity of their speaking.
	Oh, I get letters about this.
	You mean prior to Trump, the left wasn't dividing Americans by color?
	Or by race, gender, and class?
	How do you lie to yourself with such ease?

	It's a vow I took at Normandy Beach about 20 years ago, 25 years ago.
	They died for America and liberty.
	I can live for America and liberty.
	That was the vow I took.
	One of the ways I'm doing it is with PragerU, and specifically, there is a campaign at PragerU on behalf of the people in blue, the police of America.
	And the CEO of PragerU, without whom we would not be who we are, is Marissa Streit.
	Marissa, how are you?
	Hi, Dennis.
	I am well.
	Thank you.
	Good.
	Marissa, tell us about the campaign that we are conducting at PragerU on behalf of America's Police.
	So, I'll tell you a little bit about how all of this started, and I'll just say my heart was broken when I saw the onslaught and the attack on so many great law enforcement officers who, because of some Just lack of appreciation, humiliation.
	I would get Instagram direct messages from law enforcement officers that follow us on PragerU who would just tell me about just horrible experiences of people throwing eggs at them.
	Spitting at them, just treating them terribly, and I felt very much compelled to use the access that we have to such a large audience to do something about it.
	So in our own way, we have been defending the police while the culture is moving in a horrible direction of trying to defund them and disrespect them.
	And really destroy the community relations that over the years our society has worked so hard to build.
	I remember year after year we would bring law enforcement officers to my kids' schools so that they would have a strong relationship with police officers.
	And now the culture is moving, including the schools, is moving in the opposite direction.
	So here is what we've done.
	we decided to launch a one-week campaign, which may end up lasting even longer, where we just say thank you.
	We say thank you to police officers.
	We tell them that America loves them, that America appreciates them, and that America recognizes that we need them.
	And part of this thank you is posting all over social media that we back the blue.
	There were over 100,000 posts within the first 48 hours of us launching the campaign.
	You'll see hundreds of videos made by people, including Prager Force, thanking law enforcement officers.
	Those are being shared on Twitter and Facebook, Instagram, and everywhere.
	And we have also launched a community-wide thank you card, which is on PragerU.com.
	And we simply ask people to just go onto our website and just sign a simple thank you card, which we are going to be...
	Hand-delivering to over 50 stations across the United States, along with maybe donuts or candy or some goodie bags, which our Prager Force members are putting together.
	The response has been incredible.
	I'm glad that we're able to be a small part in just making law enforcement officers feel better, and then allowing also people to express their gratitude towards these men and women of service.
	Can people write a message along with their name?
	We're encouraging people to make their own videos or just put a tweet out or write something on Instagram if they want to do something personalized.
	But the best way to do it is...
	In addition to that is to go to our website and sign the letter.
	We have a little over 60,000 signature.
	Our goal is to get to 100,000 as soon as possible.
	And it's very simple.
	You just go to PrairieU.com.
	On the homepage, there's a little box that people can click on.
	You can read a little bit of the description.
	You just put your name in there, and the letter will be sent as a group message as well.
	Well, I am really proud of PragerU, if I can say that.
	God bless you, Marissa.
	Go to PragerU.com, back the blue campaign.
	This is another way to fight back.
	The notion that because there are some bad policemen, you defund police?
	It's like...
	I can't even think of an analogy, because that's already the stupidest idea.
	If there are bad firemen, do you defund fire departments?
	If there's polluted air in your area, do you defund oxygen?
	Anyway, please go to PragerU.com, and it's backing the blue program.
	If you are in pain, I would strongly recommend that you try Relief Factor, and I say try.
	You don't have to get a month's supply or year's supply, and then you get your money back.
	Most people don't bother with that, and they've thrown out their money.
	They have a very good idea.
	You'll know in three weeks.
	Get a three-week amount.

	First of all, Mike Pompeo gave a speech at the Department of State slamming the New York Times 1619 project and talking about America's founding.
	Just one cut from that, please.
	Cut number 12.
	Thank you.
	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.
	Yesterday, cut number one.
	The CCP's campaign to compel ideological conformity does not stop at China's borders.
	Rather, the CCP seeks to extend its influence around the world.
	Including on American soil.
	All too often, for the sake of short-term profits, American companies have succumbed to that influence, even at the expense of freedom and openness in the United States.

	Oh.
	This is from, let's see, live5news.com.
	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 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...
	All right, everybody.
	Dennis Prager, Dylan in San Antonio.
	Hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	This weekend, They had a back-the-blue rally in Denver.
	Michelle Malkin was the lead speaker.
	And Black Lives Matter thugs stormed the stage, brutally beat them down, while the Denver police essentially watched.
	The same thing has been happening in Minneapolis, in Seattle, in Portland for months.
	Looting, rioting, assault, and police stand by and watch.
	So if we're going to back the blue, they need to do their damn job.
	And they're not doing their damn jobs because they don't want to or because they're ordered not to?
	If they're being ordered not to, then that's a bigger problem.
	It is a bigger problem.
	That is exactly correct.
	By whom?
	The mayors want that.
	The mayor isn't going to fire the police chief.
	You think in Portland the mayor is going to fire the police chief because the police are not confronting the scum who are ruining the city?
	The Democrats are scum, and so they don't fight scum.
	They identify with the people ruining their city.
	This is a first, not just in American history, probably in world history, that leaders in a free country identify with those who are violently wrecking their own cities.
	This has never happened in the history, in the recorded history of this country or the world.
	The mayor of Portland likes the people who are ruining his city.
	Explain that to me.
	There is no precedent for this.
	That is how sick the left is.
	They are sick.
	You get it?
	They're sick.
	They don't talk to their parents if their parents voted for Trump.
	The left is sick.
	Do you understand that?
	Not liberals.
	Liberals are weak.
	Liberals are foolish.
	But they're not sick.
	The left is sick.
	The police stand by, not because they want to, they're ordered to.
	Let people wreck our city.
	That is what Democratic mayors believe.
	You understand?
	And then people vote for them.
	Sick left-wing voters.
	Your neighbors vote for these people.
	It is sick.
	There is no better word for it because it's a psychological condition.
	Of course it's a moral condition, but it's psychological as well.
	It's primarily psychological.
	Please continue to burn down my city.
	God bless you.
	Oh, and not only that, we on the left in the health provider world will say that's good during the virus.
	You cannot get together to pray.
	You cannot get together to visit one another for Easter or Passover Seder.
	No.
	But to riot or protest?
	Please.
	That's healthy.
	That was thousands of scientists, of doctors, nurses, healthcare providers signed that document.
	You tell me the left is not sick.
	Steve in Chicago, how do you do?
	Hey, thanks for taking my call, Dennis.
	I listen to you a couple times a week.
	I don't agree with you ever, but I just have to comment on your constant condemnation of the left, okay?
	Here's what the left has done to America, in my view, that's so terrible.
	The left gave this country Social Security for old people.
	It gave Medicare for old people.
	It gave the civil rights laws for minorities and white people and our daughters who don't have to be more than secretaries or schoolteachers in life.
	They've given us our regulations that make our food and water and medicine safe.
	So if you want to criticize the left, feel free to do so.
	Tell me one thing I've said about the left today, not 50 years ago, that you disagree with.
	Do you think it's good that the NBA players will wear social justice messages?
	Do you think it is good?
	Will you please?
	Oh, you have no quarrel with it.
	So if somebody had a message on the back, abortion is murder, on the back of his NBA jersey, you'd be okay with that?
	I would be perfectly fine if this is how they want to express themselves.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	I want to understand you.
	One minute.
	I allowed you your statement about the history.
	I'm asking you about the present.
	Do you believe it is good for sports?
	To have social justice or right-wing messages on the uniforms?
	Here's my answer, Dennis, and it's not a dodge.
	Here's my answer.
	By pointing out the symbolic cultural issues, you ignore the big picture.
	It's a tactic of the right, you know, the right, okay?
	I have no idea what you just said.
	You didn't dodge it.
	You didn't even address it.
	There is a bigger picture.
	Since you spoke something that means nothing, I'll say something that means something, and then you can react.
	There is a bigger picture.
	Keeping sports apolitical so everybody can enjoy the basketball game.
	That's the bigger picture, Steve.
	Okay, thank you for commenting.
	I think the bigger picture...
	Is that it's the so-called left, which has created modern America, okay?
	Modern America.
	Okay, you're going back 50 years.
	First of all, I consider those the achievements of liberals, not left.
	Well, what's the difference in your view?
	Okay, I'll give you one big difference.
	Liberals believe in colorblind.
	Leftists believe that colorblind is racist.
	Which is your position?
	Is colorblind beautiful?
	Answer me directly or I hang up on you.
	Colorblind is inappropriate when the topic is to redress and address racial injustice, which is undeniable.
	Okay, you're not answering.
	Okay, that's fine.
	If that's your answer.
	No, it isn't.
	It's not an answer.
	Of course it is.
	The liberals believed in colorblind.
	You asked me the difference between liberal and left.
	Liberalism believes that the ideal is to see the character and heart and personality and mind of a human, not their color.
	Dennis, when the civil rights movement was getting going in the late 50s and early 60s, do you think it would be proper to say, wait a minute, these leftists and liberals ought to be colorblind and stop talking about racial issues?
	Talking about racial issues is not the same as not being colorblind.
	You did dodge it, but nevertheless, I'm thrilled you called.

	What do you suppose...
	What 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.
	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.
	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.

	Trending now on the Mike Gallagher Show. - Wow.
	It used to be called Talkers Magazine.
	It used to be a big glossy magazine that you'd get every month.
	Every radio station in America, every television newsroom had it.
	It's got an online presence now that is second to none.
	It's the bible of our industry, talkers.
	Michael is the founder, he's the publisher, he's been a radio guy for many, many years.
	And something happened yesterday that is sort of an annual thing where we all anticipate their most 100 influential talk radio hosts in America list.
	It's called the Heavy 100. And it's a big deal.
	And this is awkward for me because I'm always embarrassed to toot my own horn in any way, shape, or form, but so proud to be on that list again.
	And I thought it would be kind of fun to have Michael back on the show.
	It's been a while.
	We welcome Michael Harrison back to the Mike Gallagher Show.
	It's been way too long, my friend.
	Can I just quickly start by...
	Okay, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	I just want to remind you that you can have spectacular phone service with your number and your phone with Pure Talk USA. $20 a month.
	Unlimited text.
	Unlimited talk.
	2 gigabytes of data.
	Just the dial.
	What is it again?
	Pound.
	Yes.
	Pound 250. Let's say Dennis Prager.
	Pound 250. 250, Dennis Prager.
	Yes, indeed.
	You know, I'm glad that he called.
	It's important.
	I take every call that differs with me.
	The first, sometimes they're worth it.
	That was worth it.
	It's funny.
	I'm more troubled, oddly enough, by his acceptance of the idea that Players wear social messages, right or left.
	I don't understand why.
	There are times where I don't understand the people I differ with.
	And I don't understand why it isn't obvious that it ruins the sport once players start giving their political messages on their uniforms.
	Or stop standing for the national anthem.
	Why is this stuff not obvious?
	The whole point of the sport is to let people get together and enjoy baseball, football, whatever it might be.
	There's something almost sacred, secularly sacred, to people cheering for their team.
	Right, Root?
	Root, root for the home team.
	But the home team is saying to half the fans, your pieces of crap.
	Every one of you white fans is a racist.
	This country stinks.
	It's systemically racist.
	Well, I have contempt for all of you who call me a racist, and I have contempt for every one of you who calls America systemically racist.
	So I can't root for people for whom I have contempt.
	Get it?
	I am not a racist.
	Who the hell are you to call me a racist, you thug?
	You demagogue?
	You liar?
	Racist is a really bad thing to be.
	If I called you a child molester, how do you feel?
	What if I said all and then fill in the group are child molesters?
	Would those people come out and root for me?
	By the way, this is addressed to the whites on these teams as much as to the blacks.
	They're just as...
	Vigorous with this message.
	This is not just a black message.
	This is a left message that the cowards of football, basketball, and baseball have adopted.
	The NFL went from, you know what?
	If you're not going to stand for the national anthem, don't come out onto the field.
	To, oh, that's beautiful if you don't stand.
	Oh, that's a beautiful thing.
	F the flag.
	It's quite something.
