Disintegrationism being the belief that we have nothing that binds us, that effectively we should fall apart.
And it seems like the disintegrationists are pretty clearly winning at this point in time.
That's right.
That's exactly, as my listeners know, what I suspect.
You're much younger than I. How do you psychologically react to the possibility of a dark future for this country?
All I can say is that the fight doesn't stop being worth fighting, even if the future doesn't look good.
I'll say there's a couple points about it.
One is, other countries have gone through these sort of crises, where it seems like they lose their thread and start beating themselves.
This actually happened to Israel in the post-Zionist part of its history, probably between Oslo and maybe the mid-2000s.
And then it turns out that Israel was sort of jogged back into reality, by the fact that there are existential enemies who wanted to destroy it, and suddenly...
All of Israel, including the left, is center-right.
The left just doesn't exist there anymore.
Reality has a way of clubbing people back into some semblance of sanity.
So there's that possibility, but that doesn't mean that we're not going to go through a real ugly period here.
So I'm hopeful that we can either pull ourselves out by our bootstraps by relearning what it was that was supposed to unify us.
I mean, the book really isn't just supposed to be me complaining about what's going on in the country.
It really is supposed to be a one-stop-shop as a sort of...
I think it's prophylactic against what's happening.
It's really a re-education in the stuff that's supposed to tie us together, and I'm hopeful that there are some liberals, not leftists, the distinction you always make, Dennis, and frankly, I think I learned it from you, the distinction between left and liberal.
I think there are some liberals out there who still agree with some of the fundamental principles of the book.
If they don't make common cause with conservatives, then the country is in for a very, very dark future.
I think the possibility of a common cause is still in the offing, but that's going to require a simple mind shift, and it's going to require a lot of people, our liberals, to get beyond The simple Trump of it all.
So many of them have become obsessed with the idea that Trump is the be-all, end-all in politics.
He's the big bang of politics.
They're failing to recognize that whatever you think of Trump, Trump is a symptom of the times we live in.
He is not the cause.
He certainly is not the cause.
Talking about that, what do you foresee?
And I don't like to ask predictive questions, but it has to be asked.
What do you foresee if the Democrats win the presidency?
And add to that, Congress.
Well, I think that things will get quite ugly quite quickly in a couple of ways.
In one way, there will be an alleviation.
I think that the media will immediately stop talking about COVID. I think the riots will basically stop.
Because I think what we're watching right now is the sort of pressure politics that Democrats brought to bear in the 60s.
In the 60s, Democrats across the country, mayors like John Lindsay in New York, people like Marion Barry, actually pushed the idea that riots were good public policy because you could force law-abiding citizens to do stuff they otherwise wouldn't by essentially threatening them.
And so I think that...
If Democrats take power nationally, then they will have achieved their goal right now, which is getting rid of Trump.
I think that you will see people stop talking about COVID because the great lie here is that Trump has completely botched COVID and every place else has done great.
So Andrew Cuomo just doesn't exist in this vision of the world.
Italy and Spain don't exist.
The second wave that's currently happening in France doesn't exist in this vision of the world.
So I think the media will have achieved its goal and they will simply allow COVID to sort of fade into the background if Biden is elected.
That's, you know, that may be...
Stupid and awful and dishonest, but at least there'll be some semblance of normalcy that has returned.
Where things will get really ugly in terms of policy.
Democrats are going to completely remake American foreign policy.
They're going to cut the military again.
They're going to retreat on the world stage from China.
They're going to try to sign another nuclear deal with the evil Iranian government.
And domestically, I think you're going to watch a serious threat to a wide variety of American rights.
Particularly, I'm concerned about religious liberty.
It's pretty obvious that a Biden administration will target religious liberty federally.
And suggest that nonprofit status ought to be removed for churches and synagogues that refuse to abide by social justice activism ranging from same-sex marriage to transgenderism.
I think he'll threaten gun rights.
I think that there will be a move to curb free speech rights.
I think you'll start to see a state and local move by Democrats as more and more judges are appointed to curb free speech by citing diversity and citing anti-discrimination law.
I think that you'll see the Democrats radically raise taxes and regulations, which will really hamper any sort of economic recovery in this very dark time.
Again, the one piece of optimism I have here is that if American politics shows us one thing, it's that politicians, after winning, tend to believe there's a mandate for their policies, and generally that's not true.
Generally, the reason the politicians win is because people don't like the other guy.
And so if Biden wins and if Democrats sweep into Congress, I think they're going to overreach, and I think within two years Republicans will be in charge of Congress again.
And the reason I say this is because this is exactly what Barack Obama did in 2008. He overreached with the stimulus package.
he overreached with cash for clunkers, he overreached with the bailouts, and then he overreached with Obamacare.
Within two years, Republicans have retaken the House of Representatives.
So I think that there's a pattern to that.
I think that Biden is likely to try and interpret a victory for him as a sort of endorsement of a Bernie Sanders platform.
I think that's idiotic.
I think it's wrong, and I think there'll be a backlash to it.
The book that Ben Shapiro has just written just out, How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps, And I'm in the middle of it, and what it does so well, it explains America.
I mean, it's really important.
I have to say, I think that, like separation of powers, something obviously you mentioned.
How many 12th graders can define that term?
I mean, nearly none, I would assume.
And more importantly, even if they can define the term, they don't understand why it exists.
And what folks have failed to recognize, and Bennett, you've done yeoman's work in trying to remind people of it in books like, you know, I'm talking about the American Trinity and, you know, basic principles of Americanism, is that the Declaration of the Constitution worked not because, in a utilitarian fashion, they work.
They work because they're founded on truths about human nature.
And that is why, also, they are good, because they're founded on truths about human nature and how to vitiate the sinfulness of human nature as it impacts other people.
The point of separation of powers is, of course, as the founders saw it, To curb the excesses of man, because if one person has too much power, men can be angels, men are not angels, men are not devils, which is Federalist 51 by Madison, and so you have to check and balance people so that they aren't able to simply run roughshod over other people.
The left believes that human beings are innately malleable, and so if you get rid of capitalism and you put in a new system, great men will come to the fore who are innately incapable of sin, and then they can rule from above without any checks and balances.
In fact, checks and balances prevent us from reaching this utopian world.
So even if people understand why that checks and balances do exist, they don't understand why it should exist.
Increasingly, by the way, this is true even for people on the right.
You sort of understand what checks and balances are, but then...
All right, hold on.
We don't want to tell everybody the book.
How to Destroy American, Three Easy Steps.
It is up at DennisPrager.com. - 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 .
I'll see you next time.
Now, we are told that the president is bungling the response to the coronavirus pandemic and that had he been more competent, hey, listen to his advisors, everything would have been a lot better.
Well, do you remember the H1N1 virus that the Obama-Biden campaign had to deal with?
2009?
Don't ask me why he said this.
Honestly, don't ask me.
Don't ask me.
But this guy is an advisor to the Joe Biden campaign.
His name is Ron Klein.
And he is explaining how the Obama administration responded to the 2009 swine flu crisis.
Now again, he is a top Biden advisor.
His name is Ron Klein.
Listen to this.
I was in the White House in 2009, 2010. I was working for Vice President Biden.
I wasn't involved directly in the Whoa!
Whoa!
That the Obama administration was full of very talented people, very smart people that did everything wrong in responding to the H1N1 flu?
Did you just say that?
You mean like after the epidemic, a safety equipment industry association recommended that depleted supplies of N95 respirator masks be replenished, but that didn't happen?
And what I will say about it is a bunch of really talented, really great people working on it, and we did every possible thing wrong.

No author likes to be told what the most important page and line is in their book, but I'll tell you what yours is.
Page 85. The next pope must be willing to remove from office bishops whose personal behavior has become a countersign to the gospel.
The next pope must be willing to remove from office bishops who teach a doctrine other than that of the Catholic Church.
The next pope must be willing to remove bishops whose manifest incompetence in governance has irretrievably damaged their capacity to lead.
Over the last 200 years, the Church has regained the capacity to name It's own bishops without interference from governments, with a few exceptions.
But if you claim the responsibility to choose your own leadership, then you have to own the responsibility to fix mistakes when mistakes get made.
You know, I've been saying this since the abuse scandals of 2002 broke out.
There comes a point when a man simply loses the capacity not only to govern but to teach.
All right, my friends.
Ben Shapiro.
Yes, THE Ben Shapiro.
How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps is his book about the disintegrationists and the unionists.
That's the way he...
Those are his terms for left and right, as it were.
Is that correct?
Is that fair to say?
I think that's fair.
I mean, I would say that there are some people sort of on the alt-right or the radical right who also think that the country is steeped in racism and think that the country should fall apart because of it.
So I've tried to eschew the terms left and right here specifically because I think too many liberals don't understand the difference that you always make between liberal and left.
And instead I've used unionists and disintegrationists to hopefully provide a common point to rally around in spite of labels that people tend to use.
That's the hope of your book.
I got that clearly.
The better angels, as you put it, will prevail.
I have a question.
That will, I think, surprise you, because I know you think I'm bright.
So, I am going to confess to you ignorance on something so basic to the American founding, and I have to tell you, a lifetime of reading about it, including in your book, and you're clear, I still don't understand natural law.
Okay.
So the basic idea of natural law is that discoverable in the human condition are certain laws that you can discern just from the way that nature works.
So Aristotle, mostly Aristotle, but Plato also talks a little bit about the idea of natural laws existing in the universe and the teleology of things.
So, for example, Aristotle talks about the difference between good and bad, not lying in a moral distinction between good and bad, but in the usefulness of it.
The proper use of a thing.
So, for example, if you see a spoon, a good spoon is a spoon that holds soup.
A bad spoon is a spoon that does not hold soup.
A good person, says Aristotle, is a person who is capable of reasoning, right, because a person is made to reason.
And so a person who reasons properly is doing something that is good.
A person who reasons improperly is doing something that is unfit.
In the same way, when you look at the universe and you look at rules that are made for the universe, they're rules that adhere to human nature.
Those are natural laws that we work in accordance with.
And then there are rules that run against human nature, and those are rules that we do not, that cut against the ability of human beings to operate in accordance with reason.
The natural law, according to the ancients, was really about the effectuation of reason in the world, right?
That you can look at the world around.
You can discern certain rules that apply.
And in the modern world, we tend to think of this as science, right, like gravity.
But in the ancient world, they thought of this in terms of certain laws that apply to human nature.
That when followed make life better and that also are discernible from just the nature of man and the world around him.
So first of all, I want everybody to know why I'm asking it because this played a real role in the founding.
What is it?
Nature and nature's God, correct?
Right.
That's in the Declaration of Independence.
Right.
So the founders were big believers in the natural law and natural rights that kind of spring there.
Natural law precedes natural rights and philosophy.
So Aristotle talks about natural law.
He never talks about natural rights.
Natural rights are a much later outgrowth.
And that really comes when people recognize that natural law means that individuals are sovereign.
And so as an aspect of natural law, you know, the way that human beings rationally interact with the world, there are certain rights that adhere to you as a member of Society and as an individual.
It really becomes clear to people that you need natural rights, not just natural law, because there are a lot of tyrannies that use natural law in order to effectuate tyranny.
There are theocracies that say natural law is following the Bible, and therefore you should follow the Bible.
Is natural law morality without theology?
Yes.
I think that's fair.
Yes.
And so the...
Right.
Yeah, I think that's accurate.
And so the addition of rights to that is kind of an interesting amalgam.
Because morality really doesn't tend to talk about rights very much.
And morality is about what you should do.
Rights are about what you can do.
And they occupy kind of different spaces.
The reason that they burst into Western history is really in the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War, when a bunch of places that acknowledge morality, but different types of religious morality say, okay, yeah, but if we're going to live together, we're also going to have to recognize that we have a right to disagree on certain aspects of how we worship, for example.
The birth of natural rights really doesn't happen.
In terms of its full flowering until, for example, Hugo Grotius, who's the first person to use the idea of natural rights, starts talking about this in the 16th century, and then that starts to take on a life of its own, that you have rights as Englishmen, you have rights as citizens.
Let me tell you part of the problem I've had my whole life is that it's an odd name because you can't learn, I don't think you could learn anything about right and wrong from nature.
Right.
So this is a struggle that Leo Strauss famously had, the sort of reason versus revelation.
I talk about this actually in my last book, Right Side of History.
The fact is that what the founders did with that is they said sort of what Maimonides actually says, which is there are certain laws that are sort of common that you see across societies, like don't kill each other.
That's fairly common across societies, including primitive societies.
Now, they only apply to members of the tribe.
The universalization of that law requires something broader.
Usually people say, don't murder somebody inside our tribe, but if you, you know, go murder the neighbors, that's okay.
But the universalization requires something broader, which is why what the Founding Fathers really did in the story of the West is not just the story of Greece or Rome, you know, Athens.
The story of the West is the application of biblical principle along with reason.
And so what you see in Aquinas, what you see in Maimonides, is the idea that there is a—and this is something you agree with, Dennis—there is a reason to God's commandments that is discoverable in general by humans.
That it is not just a series of, the word in Hebrew would be chukim, it's not just a series of rationality-free commands, that when you look at God's law, it actually makes a lot of sense.
And so what Maimonides sort of suggests, and Aquinas does too, is that there is no conflict between natural law and biblical law, and that's why Aquinas essentially says that Plato and Aristotle came very close to mimicking the morality of the Bible just through use of pure reason, but they couldn't get fully there because you still require revelation.
Okay.
All right.
The reason I asked it is because I think I represent a lot of my listeners who've heard the term all their lives, and I'm not all that clear on it either.
Alright, anyway, if you had the ability to speak to every young person in America, what would you say with regard to the next election?
What I would say is that the character of the presidential candidate It's not code for what they represent.
Right now, I think there's a great conflict in the view of President Trump.
And the view of President Trump, on the one hand, people on the left, they point to the fact that he's longer, and then he says things on Twitter they don't like, and the fact that, you know, all the things that we already know about President Trump and his flaws.
And they say, why should somebody like that be president?
And people on the right say, because they're stopping people on the left.
What Trump really is, what he represents more than anything, is...
It's a dam against the encroaching waves that are going to swamp society if Democrats were to take complete power and move toward that.
The battle in the election, and then it's something you've been saying for a really long time, is very rarely about the candidates themselves.
It's about the movements that they represent or the philosophies that they represent.
And so if you're going to make an intelligent choice about who you want to be president, you should be making that choice not on the basis of Trump's vicissitude or Joe Biden's finality.
You should be making a choice on the basis of Do you think the idea is represented by the movements that are backing these folks?
Okay, hold on there, and I want to continue with it.

Hello, everybody.
Final segment on this book.
It's an important book, How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.
Ben Shapiro.
So, shall I go on, or do you have more that you would want to say to young people about this election?
I mean, the only other thing I would say is that if you believe that America needs to be remade, you're being deeply ungrateful in the greatest society ever devised by man, and you should probably vote Democrat.
That's correct.
It's astonishing that people don't understand how good this country is.
That's my theory, by the way.
I say the left hates America not because it's bad, but because it's good.
There's a tremendous...
Go on.
I think that's right.
I mean, I think that what the left sees is that the institutions of the United States have generated more wealth, prosperity, tolerance, decency, than any other institution.
Save for maybe churches and synagogues and mosques in the history of mankind, in the history of mankind.
And the left's response to this is that they don't like the system itself because the system itself is not the utopian redistributionist system they wish for, and so they simply wish onto the system all of the flaws that they perceive.
They treat every flaw in the United States as though it is unique, and they treat everything exceptional about the United States as though it is common, when precisely the opposite is the truth.
Everything exceptional about the United States is, in fact, exceptional.
And everything that is flawed about the United States tends to be rather universal in human nature.
And the history of the United States shows this, as does the current factor that other countries exist in the world.
The utter myopia of people who suggest that problems in the United States are unique to the United States without even, like, taking a look at other countries around the world is astonishing.
The last minute of what you said, I would like to replay.
On a regular basis on my show.
What is exceptional about America, they think is normal.
And what is flawed about America, they think is exceptional.
That is exactly right.
The ignorance is amazing.
Do you have...
I always ask this of conservative Jews and conservative blacks.
In your extended family, is it mostly conservative?
No.
Of course not.
Of course not.
On Jewish tennis, you know the answer to this.
We're the only orthodox Jews in our extended family, and so that means that virtually everybody else in our family votes Democrat.
Do you ever have discussions or you try to tone it down?
It's kind of purposeless.
I mean, if you wish to have, you know, relationships with relatives, typically.
There are only a couple of ways to do it.
One is some of them are open and actually want to have discussions and actually care, and the other is that they're looking for a fight, and so it's better to just, well, you can't even watch football anymore, so basically just go in the other room and stare at the walls and eat turkey on Thanksgiving.
So those are really the two choices, and in my family, we seem to have opted for the latter, I would say, for the most part.
Right.
I totally get it.
So are you going to watch football?
By the way, baseball's killing me.
It's just killing me.
I'm a huge baseball fan, as you know Dennis.
I mean, I wrote a book with my dad on the 2005 Chicago White Sox championship season.
And the idea that I'm supposed to participate in what is essentially a communal ritual in which we talk about how America is systemically racist, as demonstrated by a Morgan Freeman video on empathy and a bunch of extraordinarily wealthy,
That's right.
That's the problem.
Yes, on the mound.
All right, Ben, keep fighting.

It's up at ThomasPrager.com.
I'll speak to you soon.
Thanks for all you do.
I appreciate it.
Yes, sir.
That's correct.
At the root of the problem is naivete.
Naivete is a big sin.
It's a sin to be naive when you're an adult.
When you're 15, you shouldn't be naive at 15. One of the reasons I developed differently, there's no doubt in my mind, is such an awareness of human evil.
First and foremost, I knew so much about the Holocaust at a very early age.
So I was already grateful, wow, America's not like that.
Then I learned a massive amount about communism.
That was my field of study.
Tens and tens of millions of people, non-soldiers, non-war, slaughtered.
Whole societies enslaved.
And then I'm going to try to transform America?
That beacon of hope in this dark world?

The black American community has been taken for granted by the Democratic Party for 50 years.
And I really think finally we have enough, you know, reality and history to look at that people are saying something's not working.
I may be open to something else.
We've arrived at that moment and it seems a perfect time for the film.
That black people have been taken for granted.
I think you're stating it kindly.
Black people have been manipulated and used and made worse off because of left-wing policies.
Policies that reward a woman to marry the government, allows men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility.
Policies that will not allow an inner city parent to get his or her kid out of a bad, underperforming, nearby government school.
I think I've told you, I went to Crenshaw High School, which is a high school that was in the center of that movie, Boys in the Hood.
Right now...
According to an LA Times article, only 3% of kids in my high school can do math at grade level.
And the school is a Crip school, meaning that it's run by the gang called the Crips.
The reason I know that is because Ice-T went to my high school years after I did and told me he selected Crenshaw High School because he wanted to go to high school where the Crips ran the school.
Now, you're a parent living within that geographical area.
One party, the Democratic Party, is mandating to send your daughter who just graduated from middle school to that school where only 3% of kids can do math at grade level and is a crip school.
And one party, the Republican Party, wants to give that inner-city parent an option.
Why are we even having a conversation on which party is the better party for blacks?
If education is the route to the middle class, and if education is that both Democrats and Republicans say the 21st century civil rights issue, then why are you not allowing parents the option to opt out of a bad, underperforming government school?

That's why they sever relations often with parents.
That's why they ostracize anyone who deviates.
That's why it's based completely on faith.
Everything is a faith statement.

Who basically says that thousands are dying because of the political opposition to hydroxychloroquine and zinc.
My view, the doctors who opposed hydroxychloroquine, the governors who opposed it, will have blood on their hands.
I mean serious blood.
I don't talk that way.
They will be the reason that vast numbers of people died of COVID. Who could have been saved?
If it's used the first five days with zinc and azithromycin, in the vast, vast overwhelming majority of cases, people will be saved.
You know why India?
People are packed together in poor sanitation very often, and you have relatively few deaths.
Because of the vast, widespread use of hydroxychloroquine.
You have blood on your hands, doctors who oppose this, you understand?
You have violated the Hippocratic Oath by opposing hydroxychloroquine.
First, do no harm.
You're doing harm.
You know damn well it's perfectly safe.
You should read the comments on the Newsweek article.
What's happening to Newsweek?
That it publishes such disinformation.
The disinformation was published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet.
That's where that came from.
I touted this from the very beginning.
You don't have to be an epidemiologist to have logic.
When doctors keep using it, and it keeps working, then you use it!
Is that clear?
Why is that clear?
You have a loved one with COVID? You need to get it.
It's a very powerful piece.
In Newsweek, and I will read the parts of it to you.
In the meantime, here's important news.
The Harvard University Board of Overseers is under pressure to alter its name due to the term having ties to slavery.
Oh, you didn't get it in the beginning.
Wow.
You are not woke.
The coalition, do you know what all this proves?
I told you, all of this proves how little racism there is in America.
When you have to fight Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, Board of Overseers, Master Bedroom, do you understand?
It proves how little racism there is in the country.
Because they're preoccupied with nonsense.
The Board of Overseers.
Oh, my God.
The Coalition for a Diverse Harvard is calling for the Board to drop the title Overseer, as the term was also used to refer to individuals who managed plantation.
The alumni organization Harvard Forward Brought attention to the Board of Overseers name in a series of tweets.
Why is that misnamed?
It should be named Harvard backward.
Today on the 237th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Massachusetts, we join the Harvard Diverse Coalition in calling to hashtag rename the overseers.
Harvard Forward tweeted on July 8th.
The continued use of a word characterized by such deep-seated racism is a testament to Harvard's failure to confront our country's history.
In June, the University of Louisville scrapped the title overseer from its student government bodies, saying the term harkens back to American slavery.
and reminds us of the brutality of the conditions and treatment of black people during that time.

Hang on, hang on.

So there is a slave labor camp where they make sneakers.
And that company feeds its products into the factories that make sneakers for Nike, Gordon?
Yeah, this is a Nike supplier.
So Nike works directly with a company that maintains what is a camp.
It's got high walls, barbed wire, watchtowers, and really looks like a small concentration camp.
It is a factory.
This company has had a relationship with Nike for over three decades.
This particular facility makes 8 million pairs of shoes a year, almost all of them for Nike.
Nike says in a statement that it doesn't use forced or indentured labor, but indeed we know that it does, because Washington Post reporting from both March and February of this year, after Nike's statement on this subject, shows that the Uyghur women were transported there against their will.
They cannot leave.
Explain for those who aren't familiar, who are the Uyghurs and why are they such a threat to the communist dictatorship in Beijing and to Xi Jinping?

I saw a lot of comments on social media.
I'm out.
That's it.
Never going to go to another baseball game or watch another baseball game again.
And then I found out pretty quickly they didn't take a knee at the Nationals-Yankees game during the anthem.
Every single player stood respectfully during the Star-Spangled Banner.
That's the takeaway.
Taking a knee during a Morgan Freeman video.
And holding a black ribbon of unity, as the players did, was before the national anthem.
And then for the anthem, they all rose and they stood respectfully for the Star-Spangled Banner.

When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, It has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.
On May 27th, I published an article in the American Journal of Epidemiology titled, Early Outpatient Treatment of Symptomatic High-Risk COVID-19 Patients.
That should be ramped up immediately as key to the pandemic crisis.
That article, published in the world's leading epidemiology journal, analyzed five studies demonstrating clear-cut and significant benefits to treated patients, plus other very large studies that showed the medication safety.
I myself know of two doctors who have saved the lives of hundreds of patients.
With these medications, but are now fighting state medical boards to save their licenses and reputations.

That's how poisoned medical boards have become because of leftists.

Since publication of my May 27th article, seven more studies have demonstrated similar benefits.
In a lengthy follow-up letter published by the American Journal of Epidemiology, I discuss these seven studies and renew my call for the immediate early use of hydroxychloroquine in high-risk patients.
These seven studies include an additional 400 high-risk patients treated by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko with zero deaths.
Four studies totaling almost 500 high-risk patients treated in nursing homes and clinics across the US with no deaths.
A controlled trial of more than 700 high-risk patients in Brazil with significantly reduced risk of hospitalization and two deaths among 334 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and another study of 398 matched patients in France along with significantly reduced hospitalization risk.
Since my letter was published, even more doctors have reported to me their completely successful Beyond these studies of individual patients, we have seen what happens in large populations when these drugs are used.
These have been natural experiments in the northern Brazil state of Pará.
COVID-19 deaths were increasing exponentially.
On April 6th, the public hospital network purchased 75,000 doses of azithromycin and 90,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine.
Over the next few weeks, authorities began distributing these medications to infected individuals.
Even though new cases continue to occur, on May 22, the death rate started to plummet and is now about one-eighth What it was at its peak.
A reverse natural experiment happened in Switzerland.
On May 27th, the Swiss national government banned outpatient use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19.
Around June 10th, COVID-19 deaths increased fourfold and remained elevated.
The Swiss government killed all those people.
On June 11th, the Swiss government revoked the ban.
And on June 23rd, the death rate reverted to what it had been beforehand.
Thanks to the left, there are dead people in Switzerland.
Only because of the left.
Not because of science.
Because science has been deformed, as has baseball, football, and the arts, and colleges.
Why has hydroxychloroquine been disregarded?

One, as we all know, the medication has become highly politicized.
Two, the drug has not been used properly in many studies.

Meeting to you from a leading epidemiologist, Yale University, on all the tests that have shown how successful hydroxychloroquine is.
So he says, why has it been disregarded?
First, because the medication has become highly politicized, meaning the left has poisoned the discussion.
Second, the drug has not been used properly in many studies.
Hydroxychloroquine has shown major success when used early in high-risk people, but as one would expect for an antiviral, much less success when used late in the disease course.
Third, concerns have been raised by the FDA and others about risks of cardiac arrhythmia, especially when hydroxychloroquine is given in combination with azithromycin.
But what the FDA did not announce is that these adverse events were generated from tens of millions of patients using hydroxychloroquine for long periods of time, often for the chronic treatment of lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
Even if the true rates of arrhythmia are tenfold higher than those reported, the harms would be minuscule compared to the mortality occurring right now in inadequately treated high-risk COVID-19 patients.
This fact is proven by an Oxford University study of more than 320,000 older patients taking both hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin who had arrhythmia excess death rates.
Are you ready?
With all this arrhythmia talk?
How many per 100,000 users?
Did they have arrhythmia excess death rate?

About two weeks ago, I called up my local urgent care that I've been visiting for the past 15 years because I wanted to find out, if I were to come down with the COVID-19, how would I get the hydroxychloroquine and zinc?
What is the availability of it, or would I have to go elsewhere for it?
So I called them up and asked them if they could prescribe that, and they said, well...
What would we be prescribing it for?
And I said, well, you know, COVID-19.
So she put me on hold, came back, and said, we're not able to prescribe it.
And I said, what?
She said, no, we're not able to prescribe it for that.
I said, you must be kidding.
She said, no.
I said, well, can you have somebody call me back?
They never called me back, but I then went to the FDA site, and I was really disturbed.
I meant to call you last week on this.
From FDA.gov, on June 15th this year, today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revoked the Emergency Use Authorization, EUA,
that allowed for chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate that allowed for chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate donated to the Strategic National Stockpile to be used to treat certain hospitalized patients with COVID-19 when a clinical trial was unavailable or participation in a clinical trial was not feasible.
The agency determined that the legal criteria for issuing an emergency use authorization are no longer met.
Based on its ongoing analysis of the EUA and emerging scientific data, the FDA determined that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are unlikely to be effective in treating COVID-19 for the authorized uses in the...
Emergency use authorization.
So it shows you how poisoned our bureaucracies are.
Folks, I take a risk taking this position, right?

On the way out there, of course, so we were with them, we drove straight through and back, and on the way out there, I heard a fair amount of talk about, you know, you young black men have got to take care of your children and your wives and that kind of thing, and, you know, agreement to that kind of deal.
But after we were there, on the way back, the tone changed dramatically, and it was, began with...
Washington, U.C. was built on the back of slaves, and they owe us a need to pay us back.
So there was about 20 hours of that kind of thing on the way back.
And this gentleman and I were driving, and we were both white, and got more and more concerned about ourselves.
and you know I don't know they would have done any harm to us but it was just very clear very early on to me what their agenda was, what they're you know what they're trying to accomplish and it was all about our responsibility as white people to stand back and take care of what they're you know what they're trying to accomplish and it was All right I gotta let you go it's It's a very sobering story.

We're going to hurtle over the cliff to globalism and face a thousand years of darkness unless we win the next election and that we then move to preserve our constitutional government and end the epic two-party duopoly control of this country.

Music About 1.4 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits once again last week.
The new data just released.
It is of course a discouraging sign.
Workers have now filed more than 52 million initial jobless claims since layoffs spiked in mid-March, according to the New York Post, suggesting about a third of the American labor force has been out of work at some point during the pandemic.
Lawmakers are still trying to hash out what to do, whether to extend that $600 a week boost to weekly unemployment benefits.
It is a tough debate.
No easy answers for me.
I believe the answer has to be, we've got to get people back to work.
We have to get people back to work.
We have to acknowledge that the virus is here.
You have to be careful.
And incidentally, back to the lesson of my friend, the president has urged everyone to wear a mask when you are in proximity to other people, if you can't socially distance.
I was pretty mindful in my office, we wear a mask.
Everybody has a mask in the office.
But if I'm in the office with somebody, if I'm in an office setting, and I'm six, seven, eight feet away, you know, I take the mask off.
Well, this particular co-worker and friend, the other day, the day that they started feeling symptoms, that morning, I was in the office with them.
I would say seven, eight feet away.
And I instinctively take the mask off.
And that person even said at that time, because they always have a mask.

Florida again.
People over 85, not 75, 85, make up one in three of COVID deaths statewide.
Five times as many deaths as everyone under 55. Put another way, if you're over 85, you have a 1 in 300 chance of dying of COVID in Florida in the last five months.
If you're under 55, your chances of dying the last five months in Florida was 1 in 33,000.
Under 55, even if you have underlying conditions.
Get it?
Even if you start out with a weak heart or bad lungs, which is really the part that gets hit by COVID. One in 33,000.
And for that, we're supposed to lock up states.
I have a friend who owns a restaurant, and I think he's going out of business, and I just am torn.
One in 114,000 Americans.
That's it?
One out of every hundred?
No, it doesn't make.
I can't believe that.
Yeah, well, it's the same thing.
The odds of dying from a car crash is one in 114 knots.
That's too high.
He's showing me his computer.
All right.
The odds of...
Okay.
Here are the odds of dying.
you.
The lifetime odds of dying.
I get it.
Heart disease, one in seven.
I see.
So we're a pedestrian incident.
So this is a lifetime, though.
This is just the last five months.
So it's not fully fair.
But one in 33,000 is pretty...
It's pretty minimal.
If somebody said to you, you know, listen, I want you to invest $10,000 in this thing.
You have a 1 in 33,000 chance of making money.
I don't think I'd do an investment deal.
God, if we lived...
Thank you.
That's, uh, so let's see.
The average annual mortality in long-term care facilities, that's the one.
That's 30 to 40 percent.
We wouldn't have had these riots if it weren't for COVID. There wouldn't be much, much less, because the young people would have been busy.
This is the only excitement in their lives demonstrating.
It's not the only reason they're doing it.
But if they were busy, like I told you, affluence plus secularism equals boredom.
Boredom leads to evil.
That's what's happening.

Hi, Dennis Prager.
Hi, Dennis.
You've been a huge influence on my life since Religion Online back in the 80s.
And I just want to say, as a public school teacher, I share your indictment of public schools.
I want to echo Shapiro's point about human nature and why government power ought to be limited.
I've really learned that if the kids don't understand the human nature part, they really can't move forward.
I start every class I teach with the human nature question.
And when I get to the Constitution, I sprinkle it with quotes from Madison and Jefferson, most notably Madison's quote that all people having power ought to be distrusted.
And I just think conservatives need to do a better job just echoing this human nature issue.
Yes, I've said my whole life, as you know, that's why you're telling me this.
The most important dividing question is, do you think people are basically good?
If you think human nature is good, then you will entrust people with vast amounts of power.
If you don't believe human nature is good, you want as small a government as possible.
And again, kids just don't see that.
It's funny you said that, because I just wrote this down.
I said, I honestly believe that culture wars can be reduced to those that understand the flawed nature of man, and those believing man is infinitely malleable.
Bless you, my friend.
It's a pleasure to know you teach.
Your mere existence is a tonic at this very time.
Here is a tonic for you, relief factor.
Now, you might be tired of hearing about relief factor, but I just want you to know that if I am taking people out of pain, I am happy to do this, and I am happy to do this.
If I could interview any one of you with pain, say, can you afford $19.95?
The odds are the answer is yes.
So then I would say, so why aren't you trying it?
You think I would tout something I didn't believe in?
It's inconceivable.
Truly inconceivable.
They know how many advertisers I have said no to.
Not because they were bad, but because I didn't know whether or not it worked.
Just try it for three weeks for $19.95, the three-week quick start.

Because of Trump.

Donald Trump said that there are good Nazis and bad Nazis.

These cockamamie plans that Joe Biden has are not going to be seriously talked about or tested or discussed.
More taxes on rich people, a green new deal, $15 minimum wage, a commission to study reparations for crying out loud, wealth tax, debt forgiveness, tuition forgiveness, and the continued march towards single payer, which is what they wanted all along.

Interesting.
Laura in Phoenix, hello.
Oh, I am so pleased to speak with you, Mr. Prager, Dennis.
I had the most disturbing experience regarding my father.
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and my father's a 93-year-old, very healthy mentally and physically healthy man who lives alone, drives, He lives very independently, although I do care for him in many ways.
I was visiting my son in Illinois and leaving the state, so I called my dad's doctor and I said, listen, I just am checking in with you.
I'm going out of town for a while, and I want to make sure that should my dad become symptomatic, that you would give him a prescription.
I didn't call it the Zelenko protocol, but I said the hydroxychloroquine, erythamycin, and zinc.
And he said, no, I would not.
And I said, well, I'm a little bit surprised.
He said, well, that drug isn't available to us.
And I said, well, really, it is.
I said, before leaving, I was able to get it through my doctor because I'm going to Illinois, and I was afraid maybe I couldn't get it through a pharmacy there.
And he said, well, I don't know why your doctor would give it to you.
And I said, because I am 70 years old, and even though I'm healthy, I'm considered high risk, and I didn't want to take the chance after traveling of being symptomatic and having something go wrong with my other grandchildren.
So I said, listen, I'm not asking you to give it to him as a prophylactic.
I just want your assurance that you would give it to him should he become symptomatic while I'm gone since I'm not there immediately to take care of him.
And he said, no, I won't.
And I said, well, you don't understand.
I said, this is a drug, and I went on to explain it.
I said, you know, I explained that I knew quite a bit about it.
Send him the Newsweek article.
I'm serious.
Well, I know, but he argued with me for 20 minutes.
Well, first of all, so then he said, he said, well, did you hear this from Trump?
And I said, no, I'm not discussing politics.
Wait, he said that?
Yes.
See, these are the doctors who should lose their licenses.
Their hatred of Trump trumps their love of their patients.
He said to me, he's an idiot.
And I said, excuse me?
And he said, he's an idiot.
I said, doctor.
I won't tell you his name.
I said, I am not discussing politics with you.
I am trying to care for my 93-year-old father.
You live in Arizona?
Yes.
And your father lives in Illinois?
No, he lives in Arizona, but I was going to Illinois for a visit, and it was when the coronavirus, three weeks ago, was becoming a little more...
All right, so wait a minute.
So the doctor who wouldn't prescribe this is in Arizona?
Yes, and he's a reputable doctor.
It doesn't matter.
There's no connection between knowledge and wisdom or knowledge and decency.
None.
Zero.
Nada.
I've been saying that my whole life.
They'll worship brains.
They should worship character and common sense and wisdom.
That's an amazing thing.
What will be fascinating, you know what's going to happen?
It'll be clear hydroxychloroquine works.
When that happens, there will be total silence.
Just as with the Russian collusion thing.
It dropped.
It died.
The dominant issue of American life for two years ceased to be talked about when it was proven to be a gigantic lie.
The left lies because truth is not a left-wing value.
And that's it.
So when the lie is caught, they don't say we lied, or they don't even say we were mistaken.
They just move on to the next lie.
The doctor has the audacity to bring in Trump.
To a patient?
Is that astonishing?
He's an arrogant fool that he is.
He's an arrogant fool.
You know, the only time I was ever booed in a speech, in four decades of speaking, was at a hospital.
I spoke to a group of doctors.
It wasn't the only time I spoke.
I spoke to doctors.
But it was, I remember the hospital, but I won't say the name.
And I was talking, I was invited by a doctor who acquired my work.
And I spoke about the false gods of modern men and women.
It's a speech I've often given.
And I said, one of the things that could be a false god is a doctor.
And they booed.
It didn't bother me, but it was eye-opening.
I don't care if I'm booed.
You have no idea how little impact that makes.
As I've always explained, I don't let the compliments go to my head and I don't let the insults go to my heart.
It's a good attitude in general in life.
The Talmud is the second holiest work in Judaism.
It has a great statement.
The best doctors go to hell.
You have written it's not safe to keep schools closed.
And you've got a paper about it.
In the last minute and a half we have, why is it not safe to keep them closed?
Well, children are suffering tremendously in two ways.
Number one is the lack of classroom instruction.
And the idea that online chats are a substitute for being taught by a teacher is laughable.
There's no evidence that that's the case.
Students have lost a tremendous amount of learning.
They've been set back massively.
And that's not just important in terms of them knowing things and their future ability to be effective citizens.
That has enormous health effects as well, because one of the best established relationships we have in public health is the relationship between educational attainment and mortality and life expectancy.
And, you know, when you read articles like we've all seen about how, you know, 40,000 kids in Los Angeles haven't logged on a single time, high school students.
Well, if they drop out, if they don't complete high school, high school dropouts live on average four to six years shorter lives than high school graduates.
And so the loss of life years just from the loss of classroom instruction and educational attainment could dwarf what we've seen from this virus.
But the second way...
Is the social-emotional development and the isolation and the lack of contact with other humans, which children need as much as everyone needs, probably more, is really brutal.
And frankly, a new study of this just came out in Wisconsin.
With sky-high numbers, depression is up around 60 or 70 percent among students who have been subject to these school closures.
And we're going to see suicides go up.
Among the high school students, the number two cause of death in this country after accidents is suicide.
We lose about 3,000 high school-age students a year to suicide.
We've lost about 20 to this virus in that age bracket.

And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, nope.
And I've told you Biden has for decades talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware.
Zero evidence he ever did it.
Now, why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of black people?

I'm relatively calm.
I had a rough night last night when I saw all the baseball players at the Nationals-Yankees game taking a knee.
And I thought they were doing so during the Star Spangled Banner.
I saw a lot of comments on social media.
I'm out.
That's it.
Never going to go to another baseball game or watch another baseball game again.
And then I found out pretty quickly they didn't take a knee at the Nationals-Yankees game during the anthem.
Every single player.
Stood respectfully during the Star Spangled Banner.
That's the takeaway.
Taking a knee during a Morgan Freeman video and holding a black ribbon of unity, as the players did, was before the national anthem.
And then for the anthem, they all rose and they stood respectfully for the Star Spangled Banner.
That's a big difference.
And I don't know that a lot of people know the difference.
I think people saw that image.
And I know there was another game and there were a couple players.
We're going to see people taking a knee and you'll get to make a decision about how you respond to that.

It's not like they didn't walk out until it was done.
They walked out when it was played.

There's a San Francisco Giant player.
Who would not, the only one on the team who would not kneel.
And there's a reason.
I just can't get on board.
San Francisco Giants player cites Christian Faith, this is from the Daily Wire, as reason for refusing to kneel for BLM. The only baseball player refused to kneel during a moment honoring Black Lives Matter in Dodger Stadium on Thursday claimed he did so because of his Christian faith.
Sam Coonrod, a 27-year-old reliever for the San Francisco Giants, explained his act by saying he only kneels before God, according to TMZ Sports.
Coonrod also said that his faith kept him from endorsing the Black Lives Matter movement because of its Marxist political platform.
I just can't get on board with a couple things I've read about Black Lives Matter, how they lean toward Marxism, and they said some negative things about the nuclear family.
I just can't get on board with that.
I mean, that's a courageous guy.
Any fallout?
Have you followed?
Is there any fallout?
Is Vegas betting on how long he'll be in baseball?
I wouldn't bet on his staying in baseball very long.
It's not just that he wouldn't kneel, but that he criticized the Black Lives Movement, which is a Marxist movement.
Was it PolitiFact?
Yes, PolitiFact wrote that hilarious thing.
Not everybody who supports Black Lives Matter is a Marxist, which means nothing.
The movement's ideology is Marxist.
It was a dishonest column.
Now, I know that's shocking that PolitiFact would have a dishonest column.
Anyway, you've got to salute good people.
Most players from the Yankees, Nationals, Dodgers, and Giants who played Thursday took hold of a black ribbon and knelt in honor of Black Lives Matter before their games.
Many also knelt.
I didn't know many also knelt during the National Anthem.
I don't know.
I thought they all stood.
What am I confusing?
Tell me.
Yes, Nationals.
The Nationals, well, right.
Okay, so it said most players from the Yankees, Nationals, Dodgers, and Giants, that says many also knelt during the National Anthem.
So this is not correct in the report that I'm reading.
Okay, fine.
Look, I hope it's not correct.
I, in fact, said it was a victory, actually, for the country.
If you want to kneel before the game, I don't like the fact that politics enters sports to begin with, including my own politics.
Alright?
So that's been destroyed.
The joy of the game is over.

They only know how well you play the violin.
And that has been a reason for this vast number of women who have become members of orchestras, because they're terrific instrumentalists, as it should be, by the way.
But he's calling for the end.
Now let me explain to you in a nutshell.
So for your son who went to college, or goes to college, or daughter who does, and is becoming incapable, This might help.

We believe in equality of rights.
The left believes in equality of results.
That's a very good way Of your explaining a major difference.
Since the proportion of members of the New York Philharmonic who are black does not equal the proportion of the citizens of New York who are black, they must.
So you drop the standards that you now have in order to do it.
Rutgers, as I told you last week, has announced The Department of English at Rutgers is dropping grammatical standards because they're racist.
It's not that a black kid might be speaking English improperly.

We had our three-month-old pug with us.
We were just sitting down eating lunch and minding our own business.
We were not wearing masks because we were eating.
You can't wear a mask and eat at the same time.
She kept calling us idiots and flipping me off.
Then she started saying more stuff and I told her to leave the park and stop harassing us.
She then came right up to our table where we were eating, pointed the mace at me first and got a little on me, and then my husband stepped in and took the entire can.
Thank God for the bystander that took this video.
Because we are going to the police now to press charges.
I am sharing this because people need to watch out for this lady in San Diego.
Please share to spread awareness.
This is me crying hysterically in the background because my innocent husband just got maced for no reason.
We want justice.
Good.
I support you.
Something's happening in America.
Back in a moment.

Just go back.
You've been through living hell.
Most of the country, when they found out that there were frogmen behind your house and tons of SUVs and stuff, people like me, and I think this is apart from my...
Political affiliation as a conservative.
As an American, I am deeply infuriated and disgusted that in my country, my free America, we would treat citizens this way.
The raid itself was kind of a galvanizing experience, as you might expect, because normally when people are charged with non-violent white-collar process crimes, the government contacts your lawyer, says we're going to charge your client, please bring him in, and I would have come in voluntarily.
So it was a bit of a mystery.
I was expecting a phone call.
Instead, I got a visit from 29 heavily armed FBI agents at 6 a.m.
in the morning.
They arrived in 17 armored vehicles.
There was a helicopter overhead, frogmen jumping off boats in a canal in my backyard.
It was just an over-the-top show.
My greatest concern at that moment was not for myself.
It was for my wife.
My wife is hearing impaired.
Without her hearing aid, she's totally deaf.
So she didn't hear any of this commotion.
I see FBI agents storming up to the second story.
She wakes up looking down the barrel of two rifles.
She doesn't know if it's a home invasion.
She has no idea what's happened.
They don't know she's deaf.
So if they shout a command at her and she doesn't obey, I'm afraid they're going to shoot her.
I mean, that flashed before me.
I yelled up the stairs, be careful, she's deaf.
But they didn't really care.
Then they actually frog-marched her out in the middle of the street in her nightgown and bare feet.
She's 73 years old and she has rheumatoid arthritis.
And she's not.

A Brooklyn woman has been killed over complaining about fireworks.
Thanks.
Thank you.
And according to the New York Post, she followed the borough president's lead advice, urging New Yorkers to settle disputes neighbor to neighbor rather than calling 911. So she confronted some people setting off illegal fireworks in her neighborhood, and she was shot and killed.
Her mother said she watched the news.
And she heard it meaning that she should not call the police when she has a dispute with a neighbor.

It has actually, it's unbelievably difficult, and it's unbelievably rewarding.
By the way, can you tell me anything that's easy that is rewarding?

I can't think of anything.

It's called the Rational Bible.

Unfortunately, here might be an example.
Sue in Fairfield, California.
Where is Fairfield?
Fairfield.
Well, just a minute, Denise.
Let me get you off of...
You sound fine, actually.
Okay, gotcha.
Okay, I had to get you off.
I'm hanging sheets on the line.
Oh, you...
No, wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Fairfield is on I-80 between...
What?
Nobody hangs sheets anymore.
What do you mean you're hanging sheets?
Oh, gosh.
And I'm not agreeing.
Should I buy you a dryer?
I have a dryer.
We live in the wind...
Have you heard of Travis Air Force Base?
Yeah, of course.
Well, that's Fairfield, and that's why they built it.
What does that have to do with hanging sheets?
It's a wind belt.
Does that have to help the planes come in?
Oh, you got a lot of wind.
Okay, fair enough.
Oh, God.
It makes Chicago look like...
Yeah, it's beautiful.
It's on I-80 between Sacramento and San Francisco.
That is a beautiful area.
You're right.
All right, what's on your mind?
Well, you know, now you're on different topics, but so my dear, oh God, my mother just died very suddenly on Thursday.
I'm so sorry.
90 years old, perfect health except for scoliosis, which was 30 years at least of chronic pain.
Terrible, terrible.
So she's already been to purgatory, so hopefully...
I'm a Catholic, and so I believe in Purgatory.
Right, I got that.
Yeah, she's been through it.
So anyhow, so our son, who just turned 34 on Wednesday, the day before she passed, came down with his wife from Humboldt County.
Do you know where that is?
Yeah, the very north, yeah.
Yeah, beautiful.
And so he did the 10-year program at Humboldt today.
He's not, he's not, I would say he has this kid, Has more, you know, common sense than the real sharpest knife in the drawer.
You know what I mean?
Go on.
But common sense is so much better.
I mean, that's me.
That's my husband.
We, you know.
Anyway, so he came down, you know, to see his Nana.
And Saturday, now back in our patio, it was just he and I. His wife was in the house.
Got on Trump somehow, the topic.
I mean, he's one of those with derangement.
Did you see that article in the Wall Street Journal last week, the new pandemic?
Yeah.
Trump derangement?
Yes, that's right.
He has.
Wait, let me ask you.
You said he has a great deal of common sense.
So, would he have spoken like this three years ago?
Probably not his dad, you know.
So, who did he vote for between Obama and Romney?
Oh, I don't think he voted.
He registered at 18 years old.
I mean, he was raised in this ranching...
All right, so what I'm trying to establish is, has he changed in the last four years?
Four years.
No, it's got progressively, yes.
Alright, so why do you speak about his great common sense?
Well, because he used to have it.
Oh, he used to, okay.
Yeah, when he was 10, 12, 13, he had more...
So let me ask you, if you asked him, between Marxism and capitalism, which do you think is morally superior, what would he say?
What would he say?
Oh boy, I'm not sure if he really knows, and he was very good in history, but I'm not sure if he knows exactly what Marxism is.
All right.
Listen, if your child at 34, any of you, I'm not obviously addressing Sue alone, but if your child at 34 cannot answer the question between Marxism and capitalism, which is morally superior?
Either because of ignorance or because of ideology, we have problems.
But we do have problems.
Anyway, I want you to remember the difference between American values and Marxist values.
American values believes in equality of rights, and the left believes in equality of results.
The French Revolution believed in equality of results.
Anyone who uses the word comrade is the equality of the results crowd.
Get it?
It's always dangerous when I hear that.
Comrade's a bad sign.

And he said, you know, what I don't hear about is how good our country is, how great our country is, you know, as scientists, doctors, universities, technology, construction companies, you name it, you know, military.
Yeah.
And that's all I just wanted to say.
God bless you.

We're going to be getting back to Mr. Biden in just a second.
Some of the things he said about President Trump being racist.
It's just unreal.
This is a man, Joe Biden, who has lied and said that the NAACP has endorsed him when the NAACP came out and said, excuse me, we're a 501c3 corporation.
We can't endorse anybody.
Oops.
lied about trying to visit Nelson Mandela and getting arrested in his attempt.
He said he was with Andrew Young.
Andrew Young was the first black ambassador to the United Nations.
Marched with MLK, was there when MLK was shot at that motel in Tennessee.
And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, nope.
And I've told you Biden has for decades talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware.
Zero evidence he ever did.
Now, why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of black people?
What it shows you...
You see, he thinks of black people as stupid, obviously not capable of investigating these false claims, and by the way, as props.
I'll just show you how much I care, how much I care, how much I care.
Never mind my policies are hurtful.
Never mind I'm going to oppose choice in schools even though urban parents want that.
Never mind I'm going to advocate a bigger and bigger welfare state even though dependencies create fatherless households.

Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here.
A lot of the news that I have gotten from Portland has been because of this man, Andy Ngo.
Who, for some masochistic reason, appears to be living there.
Andy, if you recall, had been hit, why don't you recount, before we go on about Portland today, what happened to you when you were injured?
Sure, thanks for having me on, Dennis.
In June of 2019, I was...
Severely beaten by a mob of Antifa militants at one of their riots.
And for some time now, going back years, I've been trying to warn the public as best I can through my writings and videos about this violence extremist movement and ideology that is gaining steam.
And unfortunately, those warnings weren't heated and we find ourselves in the current situation where not only is Portland now in eight weeks of daily violent protests and riots, but you see these strategies and tactics and ideology exported to other cities over the weekend as well, such as in Aurora and Oakland and other cities.
How are you now?
So it's been just over a year since that beating.
I am mostly recovered.
I still have some cognitive issues.
I think some people may not be aware because the beating was relatively quick, but there were so many people involved and they were beating me on the head.
It caused me to have a brain hemorrhage.
So, for a year now, I've had various forms of therapies to address the cognitive challenges that arose from that injury.
Well, for whatever it's worth, you sound fine to me, but obviously you know better.
But I do want you to know that.
I listen to people for a living, so you're sounding fine to me.
Thank God for that anyway.
One other question.
Have any of those who did this been prosecuted or even caught?
Unfortunately, no.
And that points to a bigger picture of what's happening in the city of Portland in general is that Portland police, because of influence from city council, the politics of the city, as well as just the lack of resources.
Don't investigate left-wing extremism, and Portland is a hotbed of it in the form of not just organized street violence, but also terrorist attacks.
So, through my legal counsel, Hamid Dillon, we're suing various individuals that we identified through our own resources.
And as you can imagine, it's really hard to carry out an investigation without the tools that law enforcement has.
And so we're having the civil route after identifying some of these people.
So, that lawsuit was recently filed, and if you listeners want to support that cause, I have a legal fund on the Center for American Liberty.
No, no, we do want to support it.
Say that again, where to go?

Thank you.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome very much.
Thank you very much for what you put yourself out there.
So, you do know who these people are?
You've identified them?
Some of them.
So, fortunately, there were photographs and videos taken of at least half of the attack, and some of them were partially masked or unmasked, and there was a lot of attention on what happened, obviously, and people reached out and gave tips.
And we followed up with it.
Obviously not everybody is being held accountable, but the few that we've been able to identify...
And why did they beat you?
They beat me because my messaging has been consistent in that I'm calling out the extremism for what it is.
It's people who have an anarchist communist ideology who are...
Working to destabilize the government with the goals of regime change.
And that might sound kind of crazy, but you look at now what they're doing.
There's a reason why they attack government buildings and institutions.
There's a reason why they try to kill law enforcement.
They see the officers as the bulwark between them and carrying out their ultimate agenda.

Well, children are suffering tremendously in two ways.
Number one is the lack of classroom instruction, and the idea that online chats are a substitute for being taught by a teacher is laughable.

Students have lost a tremendous amount of learning.
They've been set back massively.

Okay, now let's talk about Portland today.
So I read a piece in the Oregonian, and it was about the riots and the effect on business.
And this is...
The gist of the long article in the Oregonian this weekend, as I understood it, basically that it's exaggerated how much has happened because it's only dangerous at night and in a very small area of Portland, and only a few hundred people are involved.
That's what I picked up from the Oregonian.
A, was my pickup accurate, and B, If it was, is the Oregonian accurate?
The Oregonian is the paper record in Portland.
It's our legacy media here.
History does good work, but as with all major media institutions and publications, the younger people have come to replace it.
of the social justice world view, and it's reflected more in the journalism.
So with that particular story, I'm glad it's talking about some of the economic impact of the riots.
I think the bias of the rioters shows through in that they're trying to minimize what's happening by describing it as a small area downtown and that it's only potentially dangerous at night.
I mean, that type of perspective is essentially what Normalizes this.
I personally do not accept that in any American city should an area of downtown be a literal no-go zone, not just for police, but for drivers or people who have different views.
You can't drive you there.
They have guards essentially standing on the street to block traffic.
And it's possible to block law enforcement from going inside.
And it's a pretty large area, three by three blocks.
So is this Portland's Chas?
It is, but it's worse in that during the day it goes away.
I mean, if you work in that area and you work during the day, you can go through and, I mean, the place is a mess, but otherwise you can still access it.
I mean, this is in front of the federal courthouse.
It's in front of the county courthouse.
It's by city hall.
It's a very important area downtown.
It's at night that it becomes a no-go zone.
So it is like Portland's Chaz, I would say, but it's...
It's worse than that the number of people there are more radical, more extreme.
It's hard to imagine more extreme than Chaz, but it's an odd competition.
So a final question.
There's something I just, I must admit, I can't quite wrap my mind around.
Does the average citizen of Portland not find this intolerable?
It's hard for me to gauge the views of the majority because the people who are vocal are very hard left.
And by hard left, I'm not just talking about liberal or Democrat.
I mean far less...
Communist, basically.
I would say extreme in some ways.
They support this.
They have sympathies not just for socialism and communism and anarchism.
They may actually be supporters of it, and some of them are actually in government positions.
I think it's quite appalling that a congressman for the area, Harold Blumenauer, actually shared the link for how people could donate to one of the Antifa groups who have been supplying people.
He's the one with the bow tie.
He went to Congress who was saying that essentially what's happening in Portland is being...
Exaggerated.
Democrat politicians are downplaying this because what it reflects on them is that their inability or not having the desire to clamp down on riots in their own cities.
And they're blaming it on DHS, on the Trump administration, but that's bogus because Can we
read you anywhere?
Yes, so I'm published on a number of places.

Hello.
Hey, Dennis, how you doing?
I'm okay, thank you.
Awesome.
I'm from Portland, Oregon.
I live in L.A. now, but I spent my whole life up there.
And the reason that people are just kind of accept this whole thing that live outside of downtown is because they're used to it being weird.
They're used to Portland.
Protesting all the time and, you know, having naked rallies through the street and destroying things every once in a while, you know, and pretty much they just kind of accept it.
I call my friends every day up in Portland, and they're talking about, you know, how, I mean, you don't have to go very far nowadays to hear about the news, but people are so used to it, they just kind of live around it, and they just don't go downtown.
How does downtown function?
I mean, there are businesses there.
They have to sell products.
Exactly.
Well, from what I understand, a lot of businesses have been closing because of the violence that's happened there and the looting when Trump first got elected.
There was a lot of destruction downtown.
So, again, though, and maybe there just isn't an answer.
You're explaining that people are used to this, but why Portland?
Why does it breed this criminal element?
Well, that's a good question.
I think Portland attracts a lot of people.
You know, there is a big homeless problem there that's been growing for like the last probably 10 to 15 years.
All right, thank you.
I'm going to look into that aspect.
All right, everybody.
