Dennis Prager Show - The Left is Dependent Upon Cowardice Aired: 2020-09-15 Duration: 07:14 === LeBron James' Fears (07:14) === [00:00:00] LeBron James is a fool. [00:00:03] That's all he is. [00:00:04] He's just a fool. [00:00:07] He feels in danger. [00:00:09] I mean, I'll tell you, this is truly... [00:00:11] It's like more and more Americans are reveling in being a wimp. [00:00:19] LeBron James fears for his life when he leaves his house. [00:00:25] Oh, boy. [00:00:26] Look, the number of Americans who are scared out of their wits and with regard to COVID. [00:00:41] People, people, I see people walking alone in the street outdoors with a mask on. [00:00:54] It's... [00:00:54] Thank you. [00:00:56] It is not the land of the free because of the left, and it's not the home of the brave because of the left. [00:01:01] The left is dependent upon cowardice. [00:01:09] And they hate the strong. [00:01:11] Cowards hate the strong. [00:01:14] The indecent hate the decent. [00:01:16] The cowards hate the strong and the brave. [00:01:21] Send kids to school, they might get COVID. To which the answer is, so what? [00:01:27] So what? [00:01:28] They might get the flu. [00:01:34] You tell somebody, I mean, well-meaning people that I know. [00:01:37] This is not abstract. [00:01:39] You know, virtually no kid has died. [00:01:42] Oh, but there is one kid who died. [00:01:44] One kid who died? [00:01:45] The devastation in the world As a result of this, I was speaking to a friend who's a member of a major symphony orchestra. [00:02:01] His income has been cut in half. [00:02:05] He doesn't know if he could keep his house. [00:02:11] For no good reason. [00:02:14] What should we have done? [00:02:17] What I said in the beginning. [00:02:19] You could take a look. [00:02:20] Not only hear my broadcast, you could read my columns. [00:02:24] We should have isolated those who were most at risk. [00:02:31] And the rest of the world should have gone on as normal. [00:02:34] That's what should have happened. [00:02:37] That was the president's instinct. [00:02:39] But, of course, every death would have been attributed to him. [00:02:42] They attribute it to him anyway. [00:02:45] But imagine if we didn't... [00:02:46] But anyway, I'm not sure he had the right. [00:02:50] He can't tell. [00:02:51] I don't think he could tell the state. [00:02:53] Governor what to do. [00:02:54] I don't know why governors have the right. [00:02:57] That I cannot eat in a restaurant to this day, to this day, September or whatever, we're at 14th? [00:03:04] 15th? [00:03:09] and if you're listening let's see yeah if you're listening in Australia it's the 16th I can't either in a restaurant today It's not legal. [00:03:26] And then they open up places and they go, 10% capacity. [00:03:30] The gyms can open up with 10% capacity. [00:03:33] As someone I know who works in a gym said, that just covers the staff. [00:03:40] The staff can show up. [00:03:42] That's correct. [00:03:45] What happened to the idea of, folks, here are the risks. [00:03:49] Have a good day. [00:03:54] I would show up. [00:03:56] I'm theoretically in the vulnerable population. [00:03:59] It's monstrous what has happened. [00:04:06] you The lives that have been devastated out of irrational fear, it's a new America. [00:04:20] It's not true, the land of the free and the home of the brave. [00:04:24] The left is squashed bravery and freedom. [00:04:27] Wow. [00:04:33] LeBron James. [00:04:35] That LeBron James is a spokesman for anything is mind-boggling. [00:04:40] Man plays basketball well. [00:04:43] That's it. [00:04:44] That's great. [00:04:48] Anyway, it's a new thing. [00:04:50] It's happened over the course of time. [00:04:51] Fame gives you credibility. [00:04:56] That's a new thing in American life. [00:04:59] People didn't look to baseball players or actors for insights into life. [00:05:05] They looked to them for great acting, which is wonderful, and great athleticism, which is also wonderful. [00:05:15] But with the war against wisdom that has taken place since the 50s, now fame... [00:05:24] It is enough to be taken seriously by the media, which is composed largely of sheep. [00:05:36] It is distressing. [00:05:38] There are a lot of terrific Americans, but of course they're not covered by the mainstream media. [00:05:48] Ask your liberal, not even leftist, ask your liberal. [00:05:54] Relative. [00:05:55] If they've ever heard of Larry Elder, or Candace Owens, or Tom Sowell, or any... [00:06:05] Ask them, can you name a black conservative thinker? [00:06:11] Isn't it astonishing that they can't? [00:06:14] The hermetically sealed world of the left. [00:06:23] Thank you. [00:06:24] Thank you. [00:06:26] So anyway, it's a good thing that Alex Villanueva did. [00:06:31] Sheriff of LA County. [00:06:33] LeBron James. [00:06:34] By the way, James is foolish for not coming up with an award. [00:06:38] I mean, $175,000 means nothing to him. [00:06:43] And he would have such goodwill, and it would show that he doesn't believe that police officers should be shot dead. [00:06:55] Leftist rhetoric makes you think police should be shot dead. [00:06:59] If they're really using their strength to kill blacks who are innocent, I could see why people would think, oh, it's a good idea if police die. [00:07:12] Oh, we love the police.
