	He had nothing to do.
	Remember that, Alan?
	A famous verse that doesn't appear in the Bible.
	I have a number of famous verses that do not appear in the Bible.
	But should have.
	Yeah, I mean, you know, what did Cain do for a living?
	I make light because I have no choice.
	So, the great story, I mean, we're talking great, as in eternally meaningful, is the reaction of the media to the president saying, don't be dominated by COVID. I wrote in the very,
	I gotta dig it up for you, the very first, within the first three weeks of the lockdown, I wrote how fear, not just of death but of life, is a dominant motivator of leftism.
	These people are scared of everything.
	That's why they have safe spaces.
	Right?
	They're scared if someone comes to campus.
	And offers a different point of view.
	They are scared.
	The motto of the left is, be scared.
	Be scared of men.
	Be scared of Christians.
	Be scared of whites.
	Be scared of America.
	Be scared of capitalism.
	It may not take care of you as much as socialism will.
	In fact, it won't take care of you as much as totalitarianism will.
	You have to take care of yourself.
	Only if you can't take care of you does capitalism allow for the government to do so.
	People not taking care of themselves is part of the reason, not the only, but is part of the reason for another pandemic.
	Homelessness in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles and New York.
	People relieving themselves on the street.
	Taking drugs on the street.
	Be afraid.
	You know what God says the most to human beings in the Old Testament?
	More than anything else.
	Do not fear.
	And the afraid hate the not afraid.
	It's the way it works.
	I'm afraid and you're not?
	Ho ho ho ho, there is something wrong with you.
	Interesting psychological fact.
	Fear is a very powerful destroyer of lives.
	I have cited to you so often the famous words, Probably the most famous words ever stated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a liberal godhead in the middle of the Depression.
	We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
	What if President Trump said that?
	We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
	To those who did not know that Franklin Roosevelt had said it.
	That it would be a target of mockery.
	Or as we put it, TOM. It would just be a TOM. T-O-M. Target of mockery.
	It was a great statement the President made.
	I will play it for you later.
	Yes.
	But the best.
	The best.
	The news item of the day.
	New York Times.
	Don't be afraid of COVID, Trump says, undermining public health messages.
	There you go.
	That's the headline.
	Was that on the front page?
	It would have been yesterday's or the day before.
	Huh?
	It's in today.
	What is today's date?
	Is today...
	Oh, yeah, it would have been today.
	Experts.
	This is the subheading.
	Experts.
	A term I have come to have contempt for.
	I don't have contempt for expertise.
	But I have contempt for the term experts.
	Experts were outraged by the President's comments about a disease that has killed more than 210,000 people in the United States.
	There you go.
	Be afraid.
	That's what the presidential message should be.
	I'm curious.
	Should young people be afraid?
	I'd like to ask the experts.
	They're always unnamed.
	But in any event, I'd like to ask the experts.
	Should children be afraid?
	Should the people of South Dakota be afraid?
	Should people in Africa be afraid?
	See the death numbers in Africa?
	They're minuscule.
	So, should everybody be afraid?
	1-8 Prager 776. Happy to take your calls.
	I wonder if that's a difference within your family and social...
	Relations.
	Are you less afraid?
	That's what animates people wearing a mask, walking alone outdoors.
	Jogging.
	There should be a sign, be afraid of looking stupid.
	As if you are alone outdoors.
	Or remote from others?
	Outdoors?
	Why are you wearing a mask?
	And then, and why would you go on an airplane?
	No mask while you eat.
	Did you know that COVID is not transmissible while you eat?
	It's an amazing virus.
	This virus actually, it has an intelligence.
	The guy's eating, leave him alone.
	So a two-year-old, two and up, have to wear masks.
	Autistic kids can't get on board because they can't handle a mask at three.
	Society has flipped out.
	The fear factor is a major factor.
	We lose our freedom when we get afraid.
	Public health experts had hoped that President Trump chastened by his own infection with the coronavirus and the cases that have erupted erupted.
	Whoa.
	Never heard of cases erupting.
	Have you?
	It's a new verb.
	What was my favorite verb yesterday?
	Essentialize.
	The experts want us to essentialize COVID. I love these words.
	And you know why?
	Because it then gives you agency.
	Without agency, you can't essentialize.
	And if you don't essentialize with an agency, you don't have an eruption.
	Has erupted among his staff.
	Would act decisively to persuade his supporters that wearing masks and social distancing were essential to protecting themselves and their loved ones.
	We'll be back.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Borka.
	This is monumentally newsworthy that we have connections pro-communist China organizations that have been around for 50 years are connected to Black Lives Matter as the founders of Black Lives Matter.
	Why would a pro-communist China organization Have anything to do with a movement that's about justice and stopping police brutality?
	Can you explain that, Mike Gonzalez?
	Well, as you know, because you know this, if you haven't explained it, though, which is Alicia Garza and Patris Cullors and Apal Tometi have Marxist plans for the U.S. They think that capitalism, that...
	In capitalism, what is capitalism?
	Capitalism is private ownership, right?
	I own something which I bought with the sweat of my brow.
	You want to buy it.
	We both like you're on a price.
	We both walk away happy.
	So freedom.
	It's another word for freedom.
	They think that produces inequality.
	Exploitation.
	Right.
	So since Marx and Engels, communists have had this big boogaboo.
	Private ownership of property.
	Free markets.
	They even blame the patriarchal family on this.
	The patriarchal family was created for this.
	Well, let's just stop here for a second.
	The Black Lives Matter website states that one of their missions is to target and dismantle the traditional nuclear family.
	Which is straight out of the 70s and 60s, isn't it?
	I mean, that's Weather Underground, that's SDS, Smash Monogamy.
	These are old, old objectives, Mike.
	It's even older than that.
	It goes back to the manifesto.
	It goes back to Engels.
	Right, right.
	Engels had a big thing with the family, which he got from an American anthropologist whose theories on this banner have been debunked.
	The family is bad.
	Yeah, the family's bad.

	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now thrown a curve, a neutron bomb into an already volatile race.
	Knowing President Trump, he's going to want to nominate somebody right now.
	Mitch McConnell earlier also said that in the event that there is a death, he would quickly try to move to replace him or her.
	There is a death, and I'm assuming now that the White House is doing just that.
	By the way, according to The Atlantic, days before she died, Ruth Bader Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter, and it read, and I'm quoting, My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed, end of quote.
	I'm assuming that new president would not be the same old president we have right now, Donald Trump.
	So she was hoping beyond hope that her replacement would not take place until after the election, assuming Joe Biden wins.
	Well, that did not happen.
	The president controls the White House until at least the third week of January, and Republicans control the Senate at least until January the 3rd.
	And there are more Republican seats that have to be defended than there are Democrat seats in the Senate, giving the Democrats a lot of confidence that they could ultimately take the Senate.
	In which case, even more important for President Trump and Mitch McConnell to take advantage of their power right now, nominate, and then confirm somebody to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

	I want to remind you, keep America, America.com.
	You've got to fight, my friends, and they will enable you to do that.
	Some of the best people in the United States of America are behind this, the folks at Job Creators Network.
	And voting has already started the key here, which is, I think, morally indefensible.
	What am I going to do?
	States can, they could say you could vote a year earlier.
	Election days become more and more meaningless because whatever the left touches, it destroys.
	Election day is the latest victim of the left.
	But we have to get people out.
	I am stunned by the number of people who share our values who don't vote.
	Stunned.
	I have no explanation.
	I truly don't.
	But you can help.
	Go to KeepAmericaAmerica.com.
	Do your part.
	Okay, we're talking about a few weeks.
	KeepAmericaAmerica.com And that reminds me of Let Dennis Be Dennis.
	Right?
	It's Let America Be America.
	Land of the free and home of the brave.
	The left loathes freedom and loathes bravery.
	God, if we had had the left in charge, today's left in World War II, What are you kidding?
	Fight the Nazis?
	What are you nuts?
	The Japanese?
	My friends, see how many are dying?
	And they were all young, by the way.
	Is there a difference?
	I'm on the old side, and I know there is a difference.
	Of course there's a difference.
	It doesn't mean an old life is less valuable.
	Nobody says that.
	Nobody thinks that.
	Especially when you think of the people in your life who are older and you love.
	But if you're 90 years old in a nursing home and you have many comorbidities, as they say, it is not the same thing as a 20-year-old.
	Correct?
	I mean, one of the things that the left has you do is lie.
	Every life is valuable.
	Of course every life is valuable.
	It's a non sequitur.
	But not every death is equally tragic.
	let alone equally likely.
	There is a declaration written The Great Barrington Declaration urges a focused protection strategy.
	This group of top epidemiologists, economists, and journalists, after a brief explanation of the strategy, Among
	the authors, Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor, medicine, Dr. J. Bhattacharya, Professor of Medicine, Stanford University.
	Dr. Sunepta Gupta, Professor, Theoretical Epidemiology, University of Oxford.
	Dr. Rodney Sturtevan, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biostatics, Baylor University.
	Dr. Eitan Friedman, M.D., Ph.D., Founder and Director, the Suzanne Levy Gertner Oncogenetics unit at Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv University.
	Dr. Rajiv Batya, MD, MPH, physician with the VA Health System.
	Dr. Michael Levitt, PhD, biophysics, professor of structural biology, Stanford.
	Okay, there are so many names that I got.
	This is...
	This is a gigantic list.
	So, the lie, another one of the great lies of the left is follow the science.
	They mean follow left-wing scientists.
	That's what it means.
	They lie.
	But the thing about the left is they believe their lies.
	They don't think they're lying.
	When they say follow the science, the science, hey, the science, it's an obvious lie.
	Science tells you that there's a definition to male.
	So males don't menstruate.
	That's it.
	Males don't menstruate.
	It is not anti-transgender to say that.
	Transgender males menstruate.
	If you want to say that, that's fine.
	Go right ahead.
	But males don't menstruate.
	Follow the science?
	When do we become a human being based on science?
	When would an atheist scientist say we become a human?
	Seriously?
	At birth?
	That's absurd.
	It has nothing to do with science.
	That is pure, undiluted emotion.
	Follow the science?
	Oh, God.
	The only thing the left is good at, aside from destruction.
	Is terminology.
	God, they're geniuses.
	Follow the science.
	I wish people knew how to answer them.
	So when you get this list of major professors, it's up at DennisPrager.com, by the way, the list.
	So you'll send it to friends, and they'll just say, these are crackpots.
	That's all they'll say.
	They know.
	These non-scientists know that these scientists are crackpots.
	Because the only scientist worth hearing is a left-wing scientist.
	Get it?
	That's the way it works.
	That's astonishing.
	Yes, indeed.
	All right.
	Mary in Carroll Stream, Illinois.
	You know Carroll Stream?
	I was just checking because he's from Illinois.
	Part of the reason he came on board.
	Hi.
	Hey, Donna.
	Hi there, Mary.
	We're 20 miles west of Chicago in Carol Stream.
	Nice to hear from you.
	Oh, thank you.
	I listen to you whenever I can.
	I've been listening to you for years.
	I'm so thankful you're a voice of truth and reason.
	Thank you.
	I am.
	And one of the comments you make consistently, you always say...
	The minute you ask the consequences of your action, you become a conservative.
	Right, you got it.
	I love when people assimilate these very important little ideas.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	So I'm a healthcare worker, and I've been working at my current job a long time, like over 20 years.
	And so all through COVID, we've been working, and I've been at bedside and seen people die of COVID. I've also been in the emergency room and people come in from self-inflicted gunshot wounds because they're so desperate and a father found his grown son hanging because he was so desperate.
	So I think there are consequences to the shutdown and I just refuse to buckle to the fear because I think that does way more damage.
	Let me ask you quickly, forgive me Mary, if somebody Does everybody who has COVID and died, are they listed as being killed by COVID? I believe so.
	I don't know that for a fact, because I'm not the one who's listing their cause of death, but I have heard that, and I don't know if it's true or not.
	Yeah, isn't it true for the CDC? I mean, I don't make this stuff up.
	You should say die with COVID, not of COVID in many cases.
	Thank you, Mary.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	I have to read to you from the competition across town, the Washington Post yesterday.
	Quote, recent polls, two recent polls show Biden and Trump running about even among Latino voters in Florida, while Clinton outpaced Trump by 27 points with the group four years ago.
	Now that's the Washington Post citing two polls then.
	They said Democratic Party officials are worried about Latino votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
	This may be the story no one was aware of until this week, and all of a sudden the president shows up in Nevada, does Latino Roundtable in Nevada, in Arizona, and in California, David.
	I think we're on to something here.
	Well, look, the president's competing hard for the Latino vote.
	I wrote about this maybe 10 days ago.
	They've been sort of a mesh in these communities for a long time.
	I think to properly understand the competition for these votes is to understand that not all Latinos or Hispanics are the same.
	Out West, you've got Hispanics, Latinos of Mexican descent, and they're going to be more liberal than Americans of Cuban descent.
	And I spent some time in South Florida in 2019 talking to Cuban Americans.
	Personality perspective is a really good fit for the Cuban American vote.
	They kind of look at him as somebody who walks and talks like they do.
	Where the president is going to have a challenge is the increasingly large, and it is already large, population of Americans from Puerto Rico and Americans of Puerto Rican descent around Orlando.

	As I mentioned, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died.
	87 years old.
	CNN is reporting.
	AP is also reporting it.
	Fox is also reporting it.
	She was appointed by Bill Clinton.
	Second woman to be appointed to the court.
	Been out of the hospital for several months.
	She's made it clear she's not a fan of Donald Trump.
	Made it pretty clear she was trying to hold on until a Democrat president came along so that she would not be succeeded by someone who'd be nominated as a Republican.
	It's very unlikely anything's going to happen between now and the election, but it also raises the stake of this election, doesn't it?
	We're only one vote away from losing the individual right to keep and bear arms, as well as other liberties.
	But this is a big one.
	Last time the Supreme Court weighed in on a gun case was the Heller case of a few years ago.
	It was about whether or not a man had an individual right to keep and bear arms.
	There was a law in D.C. that said you could not have a firearm in your own home.
	And the security guard had a firearm.
	He challenged the law.
	And the Supreme Court said that he was right, that the Second Amendment gave you an individual right to keep and bear arm, not a right as a member of a collective, but as an individual right.
	That was just a 5-4 decision.
	So this is going to really, really shake things up and become another major, major issue.

	One of our guests, a very godly man, said that the situation is so dire that it's not just prayers that are needed, but somebody like the president and a...
	Hi, everybody.
	It's a pleasure to be with you.
	And I'd like you to go to the banner of my website and click on ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom, and make a donation.
	They'd like $100.
	Gotta fight.
	Once you start donating to good causes, you keep donating.
	I'd like to tell you a great Hebrew phrase I learned in, like, third grade.
	It works, obviously, in the original, but the translation works.
	A good deed drags along another good deed.
	A sin drags along another sin.
	It was so...
	I told you, I was raised on aphorisms.
	Kids don't get any aphorisms anymore.
	You know, like, haste makes waste?
	I wonder if they learn one aphorism other than America's systemically racist.
	Think about it.
	And I was raised on these.
	Once you start giving to good causes, you keep giving.
	It's just the way it works.
	Life is habit.
	Nobody knows this better than the living martyr.
	Everything can be reduced to habits.
	Good habits and bad habits.
	Anyway, please click the ADF banner.
	They supply the lawyers for free.
	For the religious freedom and other freedom cases of the Supreme Court.
	Thank you on behalf of myself, the living martyr, the gentle gentile giant, and America itself.
	You know, Triple G, I haven't called you Triple G in quite some time.
	Do we have a jingle for you, by the way?
	Not Sean McConnell.
	Do we have a Triple G jingle?
	I really like that.
	Thank you.
	So what do I fear?
	Since I agree with the president 100%.
	I can't wait to play for you.
	They actually, on CNN, you should be afraid.
	That was their thing.
	You should be afraid.
	So let me just say, I fear CNN and the left much more than COVID. Just for the record.
	1-8 Prager 776. And San Francisco, Dolores.
	Hello, Dolores.
	Hi.
	Yes, thank you, Dennis, for taking my call.
	I just wanted to piggyback on what your previous caller said, and I'm a nurse in San Francisco, and one of the policies the Department of Public Health has been in place for a couple months.
	Is that if there's an out-of-hospital death, they send someone to go swab the deceased for coronavirus.
	So, just sort of a strange thing.
	Not sure.
	I'm guessing.
	I don't see their death certificates, but it seems like that sort of adds up to the body count.
	Right.
	Is your understanding, it is my understanding, but I need to prove it.
	And if it's not true, I need to drop it.
	But is your understanding that if a person dies of a heart attack and then was even posthumously have been tested for the COVID and is positive, the results are positive, it is listed as a COVID death?
	Well, I mean, I can't imagine that they would spend the money to have people go out and swab deceased people in the community.
	Right, but you just said that.
	Didn't you just say that?
	I just said that.
	Yeah, that's what they do.
	They go out and they swab.
	We have a whole crew that goes out to do a coronavirus swab test on the corpses of people who die outside of hospitals.
	All right.
	I thought you said you can't imagine that they spend the money doing it.
	Well, I can't imagine that they would spend the money doing it if it wasn't to add to the coronavirus.
	I don't know.
	I mean, if it's public record, I think it's probably about 50 grand a month they pay for staffing for that.
	And speaking to what you just said about my friend's brother died of a sudden cardiac death, and then they posthumously said, COVID, so attributed to that, which of course is not true.
	Well, thank you so much, and thank you for your work.
	I read to you last week in Scotland, they decreased the number they had given, this is the Scottish government, had decreased the number of COVID deaths by, I believe, four-fifths.
	Said the actual number of COVID deaths is one-fifth what we had been Reporting.
	This is the Scottish government.
	Remember this?
	It was dramatic.
	It was actually dramatic.
	But it wasn't covered.
	Here's something dramatic.

	A father and son run this thing.
	Pete and Seth Talbot.
	I've met them.

	If you want to check this out, there's Anderson Cooper.
	They're going to a break and they go to a wide shot and the segment is over.
	They're six or eight, 10 feet apart, whatever they are.
	And then they go to a break and then they immediately go right to each other.
	and Biden leans in and is whispering in Anderson Cooper's ear.
	Let's play this video, if you're watching.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	When we come back, we'll have more questions from our audience from former Vice President Joe Biden.
	Thanks.
	There they go, this big wide shot.
	They're both standing at each other.
	Biden and Cooper start going towards...
	And there it is.
	Joe Biden literally leaning into Joe Biden's ear and whispering in his ear.
	Now again, not trying to be a jerk here.
	Not trying to be the male version of Karen.
	They're not socially distancing.
	Why aren't they social distancing?
	Oh, you mean maybe they thought the cameras were off?
	So they're like in different zip codes when they're on camera, but when they think they're in a break, Biden literally walks up and they both lean into each other and there's Joe Biden whispering in Anderson Cooper's ear.
	What do you make of that?
	What do you make of that?
	1-800-655-MIKE. I'm serious.

	But I have to read to you from the competition across town, the Washington Post yesterday.
	Quote, recent polls, two recent polls show Biden and Trump running about even among Latino voters in Florida, while Clinton outpaced Trump by 27 points with the group four years ago.
	Now, that's the Washington Post.
	The Washington Post.
	The Washington Post.
	My column, which comes out every Tuesday, and it's an important thing every week, if I may say, is about the people who say, oh, I don't vote for the party, I vote for the person.
	So I have a response to that.
	It's happening in Arizona.
	People are saying, oh, the Democratic candidate for Senate is an impressive guy, former astronaut, wife of, husband of Gabby Gifford.
	I have no doubt he's a wonderful guy.
	A wonderful guy who's a Democrat in the Senate does as much damage as a non-wonderful guy who's a Democrat in the Senate.
	It's painful for me to talk to adults about something so obvious.
	As if it's revelatory.
	I don't vote by party.
	That means you don't vote by policy.
	You don't vote by idea.
	You vote by who you think is the more charming candidate.
	I don't give a damn about charming politicians.
	I care about their policies and their votes.
	It's a new preoccupation with...
	Why even have parties?
	Why not just have a runoff between two people based on their character?
	Right?
	If you really believe that parties don't matter, only character as you understand it matters, why have parties?
	Just have two wonderful people run on the character issue.
	That's what I'm told.
	Oh, the president, oh, terrible character, the Never Trumpers tell me.
	First of all, I don't believe he has a terrible character.
	Okay?
	Just for the record, I think he has a better character than Joe Biden.
	I think he has a better character than Kamala Harris.
	But even if they had sterling characters, it would make no difference to me.
	I care about the policies of politicians, not their characters.
	I wish they all had great characters.
	That would be a bonus.
	But I was lucky.
	I had a father with a good character.
	The rabbis in my school, my religious school, had good character.
	Even the other teachers did, not just the rabbis.
	My uncles had good character.
	My older brother had good character.
	I was surrounded by men of good character, and I'm only using the men, plenty of women.
	I never looked to Lyndon Johnson for character.
	It never occurred to me or my father.
	Gee, Dennis.
	You've got to watch the president and model yourself after him.
	The infantilizing views of the left are astonishing.
	It's immature.
	It's childlike.
	Oh, he's a better person.
	So what?
	Do you know how many nice people ruin societies?
	Nice is nice and wise is wise.
	Wise matters in politicians.
	Not nice.

	Darryl.
	Hello, Darryl.
	Hi, Dennis.
	First time caller.
	But I had to call because I'm responding to the woman two callers ago.
	I guess you spoke to her about...
	You know, one of the numbers of the reporting in the healthcare facilities and hospitals.
	And I can tell you that her answer, I believe, is 100% incorrect.
	And I say that because in Florida, they've come out in the news, in the paper, in the radio, on the TV, and have said that the numbers are so inaccurate because every death they claim, every death is a COVID death.
	So if a person has a heart attack...
	They say it was a COVID death.
	If someone hit a tree 85 miles an hour on 95, they'd die of COVID. So I don't believe she's being honest and accurate at all.
	Well, no, she didn't deny that.
	I don't think she denied that.
	She was pretty much on board.
	No, she was on board with me.
	Remember, she said if somebody gets a heart attack, they do a posthumous swab.
	That was your last swab.
	The one prior to that.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't remember that one.
	But in any event, so...
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Let me understand.
	How do you know this in Florida?
	Well, because they have...
	They've come out...
	The numbers have...
	You know, they have said...
	The people in authority in Florida have said that these numbers are incorrect.
	And they could be off by as much as 75%.
	Because every death to them is a COVID death.
	Now, in Vermont, I just left New England.
	I'm driving to Florida right now.
	The same thing in Vermont.
	And you see people, by the way, in parks with nobody within 200 feet of them wearing a mask outside.
	There's absolutely no reason.
	There's no common sense going on.
	People are living in fear.
	And same thing in Vermont.
	The deaths from the VFWs, the veterans up there, they have pre-existing health conditions.
	Right, all right.
	Well, you know what?
	I'm going to look up both.
	I need to look up this Florida issue.
	All I know is I don't know why Scotland would be all that different from Florida or any other place.
	Where they acknowledge that they have wildly overstated the number of COVID deaths.
	It's in some ideology's interest that we have a lockdown.

	You were talking about the subject of fear, and I remember going to London and seeing Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square.
	He died in the Battle of Trafalgar, and he said a lot of really great things on that plaque, but at the end he said, Fear God, fear sin, and then fear nothing.
	That's on his statue or whatever, column?
	It's on a plaque there.
	He had made a speech in the end, and he said, I think, about a battle he was going to.
	It may have been Trafalgar, if my memory serves me correct.
	But he said the strong right arm of Admiral Nelson will not save England.
	Well, he had lost his right arm.
	He was only left-handed.
	And it goes through a number of things.

	Why would a pro-communist China organization have anything to do with a movement that's about justice and stopping police brutality?
	Can you explain that, Mike Gonzalez?
	Well, as you know, because you know this, if you haven't explained it, though, which is Alicia Garza and Patris Colores and Paul Tometi have Marxist plans for the U.S. They think that capitalism, that...
	In capitalism, what is capitalism?
	Capitalism is private ownership, right?
	I own something which I bought with the sweat of my brow.

	It's another word for freedom.
	They think that produces inequality.

	Right.
	So since Marx and Engels, communists have had this big boogaboo with...
	Private ownership of property, free markets.
	They even blame the patriarchal family on this.
	The patriarchal family was created for this.
	Well, let's just stop here for a second.

	The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now thrown a curve, a neutron bomb into an already volatile race.
	Knowing President Trump, he's going to want to nominate somebody right now.
	Mitch McConnell earlier also said that in the event that there is a death, he would quickly try to move to replace him or her.
	There is a death, and I'm assuming now that the White House is doing just that.
	By the way, according to The Atlantic, days before she died, Ruth Bader Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter, and it read, and I'm quoting, I'm assuming that new president would not be the same old president we have right now, Donald Trump.
	So she was hoping beyond hope that her replacement would not take place until after the election, after the election, assuming Joe Biden wins.
	Well, that did not happen.
	The President controls the White House until at least the third week of January, and Republicans control the Senate at least until January the 3rd, and there are more Republican seats that have to be defended than there are Democrat seats in the Senate, giving the Democrats a lot of confidence that they could ultimately take the Senate, in which case even more important for President Trump and Mitch McConnell to take advantage.
	of their power right now, nominate, and then confirm somebody to replace Bruce Bader Ginsburg.

	Well, the negative narrative that we keep hearing about America, I mean, you and I both know that the Democratic Party has gone crazy.
	I think Trump drove them to it, and they are just at lightning speed going leftward, unable to control their own people.
	What do you think is happening in the mind of somebody like a Nancy Pelosi?
	She may have harbored some of these thoughts about America over the decades, but to see that part of the party take control of the entire party, what do you suppose is going through the mind of an old hand like Nancy Pelosi?
	Well, I've known the speaker for a while, and my opinion, I could be wrong, is that she doesn't believe in anything.
	She has no belief system.
	She wants power.
	She has power.
	She wants to keep her power.
	I think that is true for politicians on both sides of the aisle.
	Not all of them, but many of them.
	They don't have any belief system whatsoever.
	I mean, certainly Joe Biden doesn't have any, because he's basically contradicted himself in his votes on just about every issue, including abortion, which is pretty tough to do.
	You either believe in life or you don't.
	But anyway, the far left...
	Has made tremendous inroads in America because the media, which once opposed it, does not any longer.
	Enables it and sometimes encourages it.
	So therefore you can have a political convention by the Democrats that doesn't even mention the rioting and looting and violence in the streets of America.
	It doesn't even mention it.

	Sweden is just going along more and more normally.
	I call it the greatest mistake, worldwide mistake in history.
	I was mocked for it.
	But I agree with the plaque on who was it again?
	Lord Nelson.
	Admiral Nelson.
	Fear God, fear sin, and then fear nothing.
	I pretty much try to live by that.
	Wimps.
	you Wimp and left are very much related.
	I know it sounds insulting, and it is insulting, I'm not going to deny it, but it's not meant to insult.
	It's meant to describe what has happened.
	We are no longer the land of the free and the whole of the brave because of the left.
	Which believes neither in freedom nor bravery.
	The President's message was exactly the right one.
	You can't be preoccupied.
	I haven't been preoccupied with it.
	I have followed that.
	I have led, with the exception of lecturing, because that simply dried up.
	With the exception of flying, which is a big exception, obviously.
	I flew almost every week for the last 40 years.
	But with the exception of that, I've led a fully normal life.
	I've been with friends every weekend since the lockdown, since March.
	Is that when it started?
	March 1st?
	responded about around is that what we generally dated and I have I have been with strange I have hugged dozens of strangers.
	I have led a normal life.
	I have chosen not to live in fear.
	Because living in fear is not living.
	I prefer to live.
	The only puzzle I have with regard to the President, and I'm going to try to find out why, Maybe, I wonder if Dr. Zelenko might know.
	We should have him on again.
	Why the President did not take, or at least we don't know if he took, hydroxychloroquine and has not been on it.
	I take it every week.
	I have now for about, I don't know, five months.
	Plus zinc, of course, zinc every day.

	The doctors, the nurses, the first responders, And I learned so much about coronavirus.
	And one thing that's for certain.
	Don't let it dominate you.

	I said just recently.
	Better than 20 years ago.
	Don't let it dominate.

	Don't let that happen.
	We're the greatest country in the world.
	We're going back.
	We're going back to work.
	We're going to be out front.
	As your leader, I had to do that.
	I knew there was danger to it, but I had to do it.
	I stood out front.
	I led.
	Nobody that's a leader would not do what I did.
	And I know there's a risk, there's a danger, but that's okay.
	And now I'm better?
	And maybe I'm immune.
	I don't know.
	But don't let it dominate your lives.
	Get out there.
	Be careful.

	I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now.
	Yeah, he wouldn't fly in an airplane.
	Joe Biden's the opposite of a leader.
	Because Joe Biden's entire life was to get elected and then re-elected.
	That is it.
	Half of politicians are in politics to be politicians.
	That's it.
	That's all they know how to do, is run for office.

	Oh my goodness, Nicole.

	And now we see this tweet, which is heartless.
	It is...
	Jake, this is so disrespectful.
	I'm not even sure I can speak about this.
	It's incredibly disrespectful.
	What does that mean, don't be afraid of it?
	First of all, it's a contagious disease that kills people.
	There's nowhere to even begin.
	It's gross.
	It's such a distressing moment.
	Horrible, so destructive.
	To say, I feel better than I have in 20 years?
	That he's saying this is so disrespectful.
	The president says it's no big deal.
	I mean, it's outrageous.
	It is insulting to the people who have lost loved ones.
	It is insulting to every American who wears a mask.
	I mean, it's disgraceful, Wolf.
	It's absurd.
	Don't tell your supporters, don't be afraid of COVID. Everyone should be afraid of COVID. It's okay to be afraid of COVID, and it's okay.
	Is it okay that it's dominating your life?
	Because it has dominated your life.
	It's okay to dominate your life.
	You should fear it.
	The left-right difference has never been more stark.
	That's the message the president should have given.
	Fear COVID. Boy, they must hate Sweden.
	Sweden is no masks.
	Gatherings up to 500 people.
	Schools open.
	You notice how little reporting there is on Sweden?
	Like zero?
	I'd like to know when CNN had a piece on Sweden.
	Not an article.
	A piece on TV. Yes, you should be fearful.
	What is this notion?
	It's insulting to everyone who lost somebody to COVID? What if somebody said, folks, do not let fear of breast cancer, women, do not let fear of breast cancer dominate your life.
	Would that be an insult to all those who died?
	All the women who died of breast cancer?
	By the way, there are men who die of breast cancer too, but it's obviously much less.
	Obviously in the sense that you hear about it much less, because it is much less.
	But it does happen.
	Do I let fear of cancer dominate my life?

	Quote, recent polls, two recent polls show Biden and Trump running about even among Latino voters in Florida, while Clinton outpaced Trump by 27 points with the group four years ago.
	Now that's the Washington Post citing two polls.
	Then they said Democratic Party officials are worried about Latino votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
	This may be the story no one was aware of until this week, and all of a sudden the president shows up in Nevada, does Latino Roundtable in Nevada, in Arizona, and in California, David.
	I think we're on to something here.
	Well, look, the president's competing hard for the Latino vote.
	I wrote about this maybe 10 days ago.
	They've been sort of a mesh in these communities for a long time.
	I think to properly understand the competition for these votes is to understand that not all Latinos or Hispanics, Are the same.
	Out West, you've got Hispanic, Latinos of Mexican descent.
	And they're going to be more liberal than Americans of Cuban descent.
	And I spent some time in South Florida in 2019 talking to Cuban Americans.
	And, you know, the president, from a policy perspective and a personality perspective, is a really good fit for the Cuban American vote.
	They kind of look at him as somebody who walks and talks like they do.
	Where the president is going to have a challenge is the increasingly large, and it is already large, population of Americans from Puerto Rico and Americans of Puerto Rican descent around Orlando.

	We're only one vote away from losing the individual right to keep and bear arm, as well as other liberties.
	But this is a big one.
	Last time the Supreme Court weighed in on a gun case was the Heller case of a few years ago.
	It was about whether or not a man had an individual right to keep and bear arms.
	It was a law in D.C. that said you could not have a firearm in your own home.
	And a security guard had a firearm.
	He challenged the law.
	And the Supreme Court said that he was right.
	That the Second Amendment gave you an individual right to keep and bear arm, not a right as a member of a collective, but as an individual right.

	According to the New York Times, which is also angry at him, tweeting on Monday from the military hospital where he has been receiving state-of-the-art treatment for COVID-19, the president yet again downplayed the deadly threat of the virus.
	Don't be afraid of COVID, he wrote.
	Don't let it dominate your life.
	They're angry at him for saying that.
	When he arrived at the White House a few hours later, Mr. Trump removed his mask before joining several masked people inside.
	You know, when I am outdoors, I do not wear a mask.
	And I have an answer for anybody who might ask, well, why aren't you wearing a mask?
	And I would say, because I'm rational.
	And I would love to know what they would say.
	I would love to know what they would say.
	But that's the answer you should give very calmly.
	If you're outdoors and somebody says, why aren't you wearing a mask?
	Say, because I'm rational.
	So you have to understand, and there are a lot of sweet people involved here who wear masks outside.
	I know that.
	But that act is not rational.
	And I fear a society that has people follow laws or mandates that are not rational.
	That's a very scary precedent.
	We all have different fears, as I've said to you often.
	Don't be afraid of COVID, he wrote.
	This is the New York Times.
	Don't let it dominate your life.
	So again, the masks issue.
	The president was probably still contagious, as many patients can pass on the virus for up to 10 days after symptoms begin.
	Scientists, ethicists, and doctors were outraged.
	As if all scientists, ethicists, And doctors were outraged.
	I'm an ethicist.
	I wasn't outraged.
	I cheered him.
	By the President's comments about a disease that has killed more than 210,000 people in the United States.
	I am struggling for words.
	This is crazy, said Harold Schmidt, Assistant Professor of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania.
	It is just utterly irresponsible.
	Yes, leaders should say you should let it dominate your life.
	That's really something.
	So it is, my friends.
	United States of America, circa October 2020. Another dentist in Florida?
	It's an amazing day.
	Miami Beach, Florida.
	Dennis, hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Dr. Prager, it's such an honor to speak to you, and I'm elated to get through because I consider this, what I said to your screener, the most important call of 2020, but it's a question that you've brought up and a lot of people are bringing up, and I think it should be plastic that I'm about to show you.
	All over Tucker Carlson and Hannity, there's a document on the CDC website, a PDF document.
	If you go to COVID-19 Death Data and Resources on the CDC website, And the document specifically states, it's an FAQ, it's a one-page document, the National Vital Statistics System, COVID-19 alert number two from March 24th.
	The last paragraph on this one-page document, should COVID-19 be reported on a death certificate only with a confirmed test is the question for the question.
	The answer from the CDC, no.
	COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all the students where the disease caused or is a, and in bold, even put it in bold text, is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.
	Or contributed.
	Or contributed.
	Assumed.
	Right, so you're 92 with a whole bunch of diseases and then it's COVID that kills you.
	No test is required.
	To put it on the death certificate, which qualifies you.
	Thank you.
	I need to thank you so much.
	Good calls from Florida today.
	I need to put that up on my website.
	Very important.
	However, I always challenge myself, so here is the challenge to me with regard to COVID deaths.
	The most persuasive statistic to me would be excess deaths.
	And we have excess deaths this year.
	However, that's compared to last year where we had a low number of excess deaths.
	So once the year is over, And we can measure excess deaths vis-a-vis the last few years.
	I think that would give us a more accurate number because I don't know what else to attribute it to.
	Now, there are more excess deaths because people are not going to hospitals.
	There are more excess deaths because of suicide, but I don't think that that would...
	Those things and overdoses and drug use...
	But I don't think that those would bend that curve that much.
	However, I looked at an excess death chart just now.
	The US has more excess deaths, percentage-wise, than Sweden.
	Sweden never locked down.
	And people say, well, Sweden, you know, they don't live...
	In cities like Americans do, there's a very low number of people per square mile.
	But of course, I read about that just recently.
	Overwhelmingly, people live in cities like Stockholm, Malmo.
	It's an urbanized country just like the United States.
	We should never have locked down everybody.
	It was a man-induced, fear-induced mistake.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berger.
	This is monumentally newsworthy that we have connections, pro-communist China organizations that have been around for 50 years are connected to Black Lives Matter as the founders of Black Lives Matter.
	Why would a pro-communist China organization Have anything to do with a movement that's about justice and stopping police brutality?
	Can you explain that, Mike Gonzalez?
	Well, as you know, because you know this, if you haven't explained it, though, which is Alicia Garza and Patricio Lourdes and Paul Tometi have Marxist plans for the U.S. They think that the capitalism that...
	In capitalism, what is capitalism?
	Capitalism is private ownership, right?
	I own something which I bought with the sweat of my brow.
	You want to buy it.
	We both like you're underpriced.
	We both walk away happy.
	So freedom.
	It's another word for freedom.
	They think that produces inequality.
	Exploitation.
	Right.
	So since Marx and Engels, communists have had this big boogaboo.
	With private ownership of property, free markets.
	They even blame the patriarchal family on this.
	The patriarchal family was created for this.
	Well, let's just stop here for a second.
	The Black Lives Matter website states that one of their missions is to target and dismantle the traditional nuclear family.
	Which is straight out of the 70s and 60s, isn't it?
	I mean, that's Weather Underground, that's SDS, Smash Monogamy.
	These are old, old objectives, Mike.
	It's even older than that.
	It goes back to the manifesto.
	It goes back to Engels.
	Right.
	Engels had a big thing with the family, which he got from an American anthropologist whose theories on this banner have been developed.
	The family is bad.
	Yeah, the family is bad.

	The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now thrown a curve, a neutron bomb into an already volatile race.
	Knowing President Trump, he's going to want to nominate somebody right now.
	Mitch McConnell earlier also said that in the event that...
	There is a death.
	He would quickly try to move to replace him or her.
	There is a death, and I'm assuming now that the White House is doing just that.
	By the way, according to The Atlantic, days before she died, Ruth Bader Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter, and it read, and I'm quoting, President is installed, end of quote.
	I'm assuming that new president would not be the same old president we have right now, Donald Trump.
	So she was hoping beyond hope that her replacement would not take place until after the election, after the election, assuming Joe Biden wins.
	Well, that did not happen.
	The president controls the White House until at least the third week of January.
	And Republicans control the Senate at least until January the 3rd.
	And there are more Republican seats that have to be defended than there are Democrat seats in the Senate.
	Giving the Democrats a lot of confidence that they could ultimately take the Senate.
	In which case, even more important for President Trump and Mitch McConnell to take advantage of their power right now, nominate and then confirm somebody to replace Bruce Bader Ginsburg.

	The negative narrative that we keep hearing about America.
	I mean, you and I both know that the Democratic Party.
	All right.
	So I've been checking.
	And this is because truth is the first concern in this program.
	And in my life.
	Thank you.
	So the challenge to me, and to those who agree with the President not to be preoccupied, is the question of excess death.
	And it is approximately, thus far this year, 200,000 from everything I could see.
	People have written, if you don't attribute it to COVID-19, to what do you attribute it?
	So it's a very fair question.
	They're not dying of avalanche or of increased pancreatic cancer, so what else is there?
	So, as I understand it, and there's no subject that I have studied more in a confined period of time, As I have this.
	What it primarily does, at least in Europe and the United States, is it kills people who have very compromised immune systems owing to some pre-existing condition and or, and it usually is and, old age.
	I mean, really old age.
	So that combination is quite often lethal.
	That means, if that is correct, that many of the people who died from COVID would have died of something else within a relatively short period of time, the outer limit being a year.
	So if most of the people I can't prove this, but this is based on the age and comorbidity data that I have seen.
	If most of the people who have died basically died a year or less prematurely, which is why you have so many deaths in nursing homes, for example, then what we should expect is a lower excess mortality rate next year or the year after.
	So you can't only take the excess mortality rate of one year.
	If, overwhelmingly, the people who have died from it would have died within a circumscribed period of time, and I'm giving it a year, then that's not quite the same as, for example, the pandemic, the Spanish flu of 100 years ago.
	Where indiscriminately people died, children, adolescents, young adults, as much as old adults.
	So that argues for isolating the elderly or those with a compromised immune system.
	Certainly argues for taking a prophylactic.
	Medication like hydroxychloroquine, one of the safest medications known to man.
	I have very little doubt that this will be proven to be true.
	We have crushed the livelihoods of millions of people for no good reason.
	But I still cannot eat as of this date, October 6, 2020, inside a restaurant.
	In Southern California, or at least in the Los Angeles area, is beyond belief.
	A callousness to little businesses that stores cannot be open.
	Nail salons have to still do their work outdoors.
	And by the way, there is also an element, just as there is, we know that more people die who...
	Proportionately who drive motorcycles than drive cars.
	We don't ban motorcycles.
	In a free society, you allow people to do dangerous things.
	That is the way it works.
	That's what freedom is.
	Freedom has costs.
	You have a choice in life.
	No risks.
	Play it safe or be free.
	So, I like a mixture of the two.
	I play it safe and free.
	I want to be free.
	If I don't want to go inside a restaurant, nobody's forcing me.
	But who the hell is Gavin Newsom or Eric Garcetti to tell me I can't?
	And I mean it.
	Who the hell are they?
	I don't understand it.
	And if they could do this for this, what can't they do it for?
	I wrote a column months ago, dress rehearsal for a police state.
	And I am the last of the conspiracy believers.
	And I don't believe it's a conspiracy, but it happens to be a dress rehearsal for a police state.

	Well, the negative narrative that we keep hearing about America, I mean, you and I both know that the Democratic Party has gone crazy.
	I think Trump drove them to it, and they are just at lightning speed going leftward, unable to control their own people.
	What do you think is happening in the mind of somebody like a Nancy Pelosi?
	She may have harbored some of these thoughts about America over the decades, but to see that part of the party take control of the entire party, what do you suppose is going through the mind of an old hand like Nancy Pelosi?
	Well, I've known the speaker for a while, and my opinion, I could be wrong, is that she doesn't believe in anything.
	She has no belief system.
	She wants power.
	She has power.
	She wants to keep her power.
	I think that is true for politicians on both sides of the aisle.
	Not all of them, but many of them.
	They don't have any belief system whatsoever.
	I mean, certainly Joe Biden doesn't have any, because he's basically contradicted himself in his votes on just about every issue, including abortion, which is pretty tough to do.
	You either believe in life or you don't.
	But anyway, the far left...
	Has made tremendous inroads in America because the media, which once opposed it, does not any longer.
	Enables it and sometimes encourages it.
	So therefore you can have a political convention by the Democrats that doesn't even mention the rioting and looting and violence in the streets of America.
	It doesn't even mention it.

	Somebody called from somewhere.
	I don't remember from where to tell me that it is selfish to go and want to sit in a restaurant because you have to protect others' lives.
	It saves lives not to go into a restaurant.
	I know a lot of people think that.
	I think that it's selfish to crush people's businesses that they have spent their lives working for and working at.
	It's selfish to raise the speed limit.
	Every time we raise the speed limit, We know that more people will die on the roads.
	This notion that you live a life where rendering it almost impossible for others to die, except by causes that cannot be affected, I don't understand living like that.
	If you feel that contact with strangers will kill you, Stay home.
	Nobody's forcing you to leave your house, but people are forcing people to stay in their home.
	That's the issue that we have.
	I feel sorry for people who've done that.
	I particularly feel sorry for the kids who haven't played with kids in half a year.
	If I told you that a certain family did not allow its children to play with other children for half a year, you would call Child Protective Services, wouldn't you?
	Because you would say that those parents had abused that child.
	It is a form of child abuse not to allow children to play with other children.

	One of our guests, a very godly man, said that the situation is so dire that it's not just prayers that are needed, but somebody like the president, an American leader, has to officiate over some kind an American leader, has to officiate over some kind of spiritual rededication of the nation.
	Do you think things are so dire that we have to have a rededication of this nation to its founding principles?
	And I say that kind of with a hesitant voice.
	There needs to be not only a rededication, but there needs to be a confession of our sins as a nation and a turning from those sins and a turning from sins and turning to God.
	And I thought when we do that, God might just hear from heaven and possibly heal our country.
	Our country needs a spiritual healing.
	And maybe God will use this prayer march to be a seed for that, a beginning for that.
	I don't know.

	And the book starts out, it's really the road to the Mueller investigation in the first chapter, and it's about James Comey.

	I had that moment last night when I turned on CNN for about two or three torturous minutes and I saw what looked like about 20 or 30 cars pulled up to a stage where CNN was hosting a town hall with Joe Biden.
	And I'm comparing that to the president's rally in Wisconsin, because I went from CNN and the Biden town hall to the Trump rally in Wisconsin, and I thought, I'm losing my mind.
	They have a drive-in movie theater kind of function, and there's Biden standing like 12 feet away from Anderson Cooper.
	And then I saw a clip on social media that when they thought they were on a break, Anderson Cooper and Joe Biden immediately got close to each other and Biden leaned in and was whispering something in Anderson Cooper's ear.
	Like, they didn't think the cameras were on so they don't need to socially distance.
	It was apparently a minor league baseball stadium in Scranton-Wilkes-Barre.
	And they had cars pulled up and people standing in white boxes.
	They were like on a platform with white tape that they had.
	You better stand in the box and ask Biden a bunch of softball questions about what a bad guy Donald Trump is.
	Really, there are moments where you think you're losing your mind.
	But you're not.
	I'm here to tell you, you're not crazy.
	They are.

	Donald Trump apparently is upset with the FBI director for suggesting that Russia is again meddling in the election in favor of him, in favor of Trump.
	The media's going crazy over Donald Trump disagreeing with the FBI. Donald Trump disagreeing with what the FBI said about the degree to which the Russians are interfering in the election.
	The biggest interferer in the election by far are you guys.

	Thank you.
	You know, it was a gamble when I decided many years ago Do you guys remember how many years ago I decided to do an Ultimate Issues Hour, Tuesday, the third hour of the show, devoted to the great issues of life?
	And it was a gamble because the general belief among program directors, station managers, media, is that the public is not interested in big issues.
	They're interested in the issue of the day.
	So, I didn't know how it would be received, but it's an extremely popular hour along with the male-female hour and the happiness hour.
	I have many ways of explaining this hour.
	One of my ways is the map analogy.
	The map tells you exactly where you are, but it does not tell you where you need to go.
	The ultimate issues hour tells you where you need to go, because this is about wisdom.
	The map has no wisdom.
	Where do you need to go?
	On rare occasions, I have a guest for the Ultimate Issues Hour, and as you would imagine, this is one of those rare occasions.
	And the person involved is Gad Saad, S-A-A-D. Former holder of the Concordia University, that is in Canada, Research Center in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences.
	He has a very popular YouTube podcast of his own, The Saad Truth.
	Good name.
	And he has a new book out, The Parasitic Mind, How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense.
	Not something you would expect from an academic, because that's the center of...
	The parasitic idea, the university.
	And it is a pleasure to have you on, Professor.
	Oh, it's so nice to be with you.
	Thank you, Dennis.
	I should just warn you before we start, I'm suffering from a bad cough, so I hope that I won't blow out your drum ear or that of anybody else that's listening.
	My apologies.
	Where are you right now?
	What city?
	I am in Montreal, Canada.
	Okay, so my view is that this 3,000-mile Social distancing will not infect me.
	Exactly.
	Right.
	So it's okay.
	Thank you for warning me.
	By the way, I'm sure you're interviewed often, and nobody asks you this, but I love knowing these things.
	You were born in Lebanon, and in Arabic, except in Egypt, because I studied Arabic, so I happen to know this, in Arabic, there's no good.
	Only in Egyptian Arabic, as far as I know, there's always J. And when I saw your name in Amazon, in Arabic, it was J. You know, it's so funny you say this, because just a few days ago, my local bookstore came up to me and said, why do you call yourself Gad?
	Isn't your name Shad?
	I said, no, my name is Gad.
	It's a Hebrew name.
	But you're exactly right, that many people from the Middle East think that I am...
	Putting an Egyptian twist on the Jad name.
	I'm not.
	There you go.
	You didn't expect that from your interviewer.
	That was very impressive.
	Do you speak Arabic, by the way?
	Because we can do this in Arabic if you want.
	However, I would like to retain my listeners.
	It's one of the parts in my contract.
	They say, keep your listeners.
	I hear you.
	Nevertheless, al shukran.
	All right, so you've written this book.
	I always ask academics who take on the economy, which is not all your book is about, but it does, how do your colleagues look at you?
	So they come in two varieties.
	There are those who are, you know, offended by my irreverence to the orthodoxy.
	But then there is the many, many thousands who are in the silent majority who will write me privately telling me that I am the reason why they remain sane in academia.
	But please, Professor Saad, don't mention that I support you.
	And I usually reply, well, thank you for your kind words, but don't you think that that request is part of the problem?
	So in a sense, I don't know why it is so controversial for people to say, yes, of course, we support a professor who fights for freedom of speech and women's rights in the Middle East and fights against female genital mutilation.
	These should be rather non-controversial topics, but apparently in the lunacy of academia, I am a pariah.
	What renders you a pariah?
	So give us the essence of your thesis in your book.
	So, as an evolutionary psychologist, I often look at animals to draw comparisons when making a statement about human cognition.
	And so I became familiar with the field of neural parasitology, which basically studies how all sorts of animals can be parasitized in their brains, so that once they are parasitized by a particular brain worm, they start behaving in very maladaptive ways.
	So let me give you an example.
	Etoxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can inflict mice.
	When they become inflicted with this parasite, they lose their innate fear of cats.
	They become sexually attracted to the cat's urine, not a very good Attraction to hold if you're a mouse.
	Well, I then argue that human beings can be parasitized by another class of parasites.
	I call these idea pathogens.
	They are pathogens which, once we internalize them, lead us, instead of to the proverbial cat, they lead us into the abyss of infinite lunacy.
	And, regrettably, all of these idea pathogens were spawned within the ecosystem of the university.
	I did follow that.
	The question is, are you using the parasitical studies done with the cats or the mice, are you using them literally or figuratively with regard to idea pathogens?
	I mean figuratively in the sense that they both share the ability to cause the infected organism to behave Against its better interests, right?
	You follow what I mean?
	So in a sense, it's a metaphor, it's an analogy, but it is a very apt one because the exact same process that causes a cricket that despises water, but once it is infected with a particular parasite, it actually jumps into the water and drowns itself.
	And drowns.
	Right.
	Because the parasite...
	I see.
	That's fascinating.
	It is fascinating.
	So...
	That sort of, if it doesn't explain, it certainly gives a vivid understanding of the suicidal beliefs that permeate Western society today, which in fact will lead, like the cricket drowning or the mouse being eaten by a cat, willingly.
	We are willingly killing our Western environment.
	Exactly right.
	That's exactly right.
	I'll give you one other example in case the first two were not enough.
	There's a parasitic wasp that parasitizes a spider, rendering it zombified, and then it carries it into, it drags it into its burrow, lays an egg while the spider is still alive so that when the egg hatches, it eats it, it consumes it in vivo while it's alive.
	Well, political correctness, I argue, is akin to the sting of the parasitic wasp because it slowly and gently carries us quietly into the abyss of infinite lunacy.
	So really, these metaphors are actually quite adept at explaining what is going on in the West.
	So it obviously leads to the question, since it's not physiological, we're not being bitten by wasps, by parasitical wasps, What has bitten us?
	So each of these idea passages, and maybe it's worth, Dennis, for us to discuss a few of these idea passages so that people can get a tangible sense of what we mean.
	So take, for example, postmodernism, which is the granddaddy of all idea passages.
	Postmodernism basically argues that there are no objective truths.
	Everything is constrained by subjectivity, by personal biases, and so on.
	Which, as you might imagine, is very anti-science because scientists do wake up in the morning thinking that there are regularities out there in the world that we're trying to uncover.
	Of course, science is provisional in that what was true 300 years ago, we might need to update it today, but we do believe that there are truths to be discovered.
	Well, postmodernism is a form of intellectual terrorism because it completely negates that possibility.
	Now, each of these idea pathogens Militant feminism, transgender activism, cultural relativism, they all start with a noble goal.
	But in the pursuit of that noble goal, they are willing to kill and murder and rape the truth.
	I argue that you can pursue noble goals without ever ceding an inch of truth.
	Okay, hold it there.
	This is really important.
	God's God's book is up at Dennis Prager.com.
	The parasitic mind.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	That the 2016 election was the first that we know of, I guess, You had both major party candidates under investigation by the FBI. Now, you might ask yourself, well, gee, the candidates were really bad.
	Maybe they were all bad people.
	Now, I think what happened was the FBI should not have been involved in politics to the degree that they were.
	And the book starts out.
	It's really the road to the Mueller investigation in the first chapter, and it's about James Comey.
	And in the transition, this is after Donald Trump has won the presidency, in the transition, a lot of his most trusted people around him are strongly urging him to fire James Comey immediately.
	Rudy Giuliani said, he's going to turn on you.
	There's something wrong with this guy.
	And Chris Christie said, he's a loose cannon.
	And if you keep him after you become president, he'll become your loose cannon.
	You know, these people were not offended on behalf of Hillary Clinton in the way that Comey handled the Clinton email case.
	But they thought it was erratic, they thought it was unprofessional, and they thought it would be a prediction of the kind of stuff that would happen if Comey remained FBI director after Trump was president.
	Trump did not take their advice in what I think everybody could probably say was a mistake.
	He brought with him to the White House habits that he had used in decades in business.
	And one of those habits of mine was that he can bring people around.
	He can win them over.
	He can talk to them and with the sheer force of his personality, bring them over to his side.
	And he thought he could do that with Comey.
	And I think we can all agree that that was a failure.

	Before I continue with the Ultimate Issues Hour and my guest, Professor God Saad in Montreal, I'd like to remind you that Dinesh D'Souza has a film out called Trump Card.
	Well titled, because there is a Trump Card here.
	That is preventing a lot of what Professor Saad is talking about.
	Infectious ideas.
	We will continue in a moment.
	You can watch it now.
	That's right.
	The Dinesh D'Souza film at SalemNow.com before it's even released to the public.
	So don't miss it.
	Go to SalemNow.com and watch Trump Card before it's released.
	SalemNow.com I love languages, so this is just pure waste of your time and the listeners' time, but I really do.
	I actually am the only person I know who loved, as a student, loved grammar.
	I find it You know, one of my only parental regrets so far in raising our children is that between my wife and I, we speak five languages, and yet we've only taught our children French and English, and I'm overwrought with guilt at that reality.
	I was just telling my producer during the break, apropos of Just something else that I was mentioning that I had learned as a kid.
	How good it is to learn a lot young.
	And then I especially noted languages and music.
	So I totally understand why you feel that way.
	But it's not easy.
	What are your wife's languages?
	So my wife speaks French, English, and Armenian.
	She's Lebanese-Armenian.
	And I speak French, English, Arabic.
	And Hebrew.
	My Hebrew waxes and wanes as a function of, you know, what was the last time I spent a lot of time in Israel.
	But the problem is that Arabic and Hebrew, she doesn't speak.
	And Armenian, I don't speak.
	So we end up not speaking in those languages with our children because we don't want to lock the other person out of the conversation.
	Well, that's right.
	No, no, that makes perfect sense.
	Although a dear friend of mine is married to a woman from China.
	And Xi does speak to them in Chinese.
	He obviously is locked out.
	On the other hand, the kids will be completely multilingual, Chinese and English.
	Thanks for making me feel more guilty, Dennis.
	I knew that.
	You know what?
	As I was saying it, I was thinking, I'm ruining the man's day.
	Poor guy.
	Volunteers his hour, and I really play with his brain.
	Anyway, the book is really critical, and both my producer and I have already decided we're going to read it.
	I've skimmed it, but now I'm going to read it.
	The Parasitic Mind.
	This is such an interesting way of looking at it.
	When I was on, last year, I was on Bill Maher's program, Politically Incorrect.
	And I, he's at real time with Bill Maher, yeah.
	He was talking to the rest of the panel about how much Donald Trump lies, and I said, well, you know, it doesn't compare to the lies that permeate the society from the left.
	Exactly.
	Oh, thank you.
	Wow.
	God, you are a kindred spirit.
	Sure, please, yes.
	I often get tons of people writing to me angrily and saying, well, Dr. Saad, how come you spend all of your time criticizing the left and not the right?
	And then I tell them, well, I inhabit the world, the ecosystem of academia.
	All of the idiotic and imbecilic ideas that, you know, are contrary to reality stem from leftist professors.
	So the fact that I don't spend any time, you know, Critiquing the right doesn't mean that they don't have some ideas that are worthy of criticism, but that's because in the same way that a dermatologist doesn't try to solve diabetes, I'm a dermatologist, so I deal with skin disorders.
	That doesn't mean that diabetes is not important.
	So the reality is all of the dumb, destructive ideas that have gripped the West almost singularly come originally.
	Some leftist professors.
	So why should I be equally attacking both ideas?
	I don't have to do that, right?
	Yes.
	Well, anyway, they're not equally absurd.
	I don't know what absurdity comes from right-wing intelligentsia in any way equivalent, symmetrically equivalent to left-wing intelligentsia.
	So I gave as an example on the show, and I'm sure this resonates with you, And I'd like to ask you how this happens.
	This is the key question.
	Why is it happening?
	So I said, here's another example of a left-wing lie.
	Men menstruate.
	And Bill Maher and all of them just laughed themselves silly.
	Nobody says that, they said.
	Now, of course, everybody says it.
	So how is it possible that people...
	Go on.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't know if you're aware of this, but in 2017, I was summoned to the Canadian Senate because the Canadian Senate was debating a bill that has since passed called Bill C-16, which sought to incorporate gender identity and gender expression under the rubric of hate crimes.
	And I was brought on as an evolutionary psychologist and as someone who studies sex differences scientifically.
	To actually argue that, no, no, trust me, there really is such a thing as male and female.
	And when I did that, one of the liberal senators with great, you know, sophistry and indignation said, you are pro-genocide, sir.
	And then to which I answered, you know, you might want to be careful accusing someone who escaped execution in Lebanon of being pro-genocide.
	But this is the level of lunacy that we've reached, Dennis.
	I missed that, though.
	I have to say, so let me just repeat for me and my listeners.
	You testified, what was it, in the Canadian Parliament?
	Where was it?
	It was in the Canadian Parliament and the Canadian Senate branch.
	Okay, right.
	Jordan Peterson and I did that.
	Right.
	And Jordan Peterson, by the way, for my listeners' edification, gave a beautiful blurb for the book.
	Professor Saad was completely uninterested in my giving him a blurb, but nevertheless, I'm still having him on.
	By the way, I am going to correct the fact that I don't follow you, and I trust that you will be extending me the same courtesy on Twitter.
	Maybe.
	Maybe, okay.
	If it goes well, maybe I'll get a follow.
	I'll tell you who will, in all seriousness, my wife is a Twitter aficionado.
	Oh, right.
	She probably already signed up as a follower of yours.
	So anyway, I want to understand what happened.
	You said, and I want everybody to understand this, a professor of evolutionary biology, psychology, says in the Canadian Parliament in the year 2017, That men and women, what is it, exist?
	What was the word you used?
	That there is such a thing as male and female.
	That there is such a thing as male and female.
	And he is accused of being pro-genocide by a member of the Canadian Parliament.
	Thank you.

	I have to read to you from the competition across town, the Washington Post, yesterday. the Washington Post, yesterday.
	Quote, recent polls, two recent polls show Biden and Trump running about even among Latino voters in Florida, while Clinton outpaced Trump by 27 points with the group four years ago.
	Now that's the Washington Post citing two polls.
	Then they said Democratic Party officials are worried about Latino votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
	This may be the story no one was aware of until this week, and all of a sudden the president shows up in Nevada, does Latino Roundtable in Nevada, in Arizona, and in California, David.
	I think we're on to something here.
	Well, look, the president's competing hard for the Latino vote.
	I wrote about this maybe 10 days ago.
	They've been sort of a mesh in these communities for a long time.
	I think to properly understand the competition for these votes is to understand that not all Latinos or Hispanics, Are the same.
	Out West, you've got Hispanic, Latinos of Mexican descent.
	And they're going to be more liberal than Americans of Cuban descent.
	And I spent some time in South Florida in 2019 talking to Cuban Americans.
	And, you know, the president, from a policy perspective and a personality perspective, is a really good fit for the Cuban-American vote.
	They kind of look at him as somebody who walks and talks like they do.
	Where the president is going to have a challenge is the increasingly large, and it is already large, population of Americans from Puerto Rico and Americans of Puerto Rican descent around Orlando.

	Ultimate Issues Hour.
	A rare thing that I have a guest on it.
	God Saad, S-double-A-D, Concordia University Research.
	He was the chair in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences.
	Has a very popular YouTube podcast, The Saad Truth.
	And his book, brand new, is The Parasitic Mind, How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense.
	I want to go back to the Canadian testimony that you gave.
	Or the testimony you gave at the Canadian Parliament.
	And you said there was male and female.
	Was the member of Parliament who said that you were advocating genocide a woman?
	Oh, I didn't turn you on.
	Hold on a moment.
	I'm sorry.
	Yes, so I'm sorry.
	What was your answer?
	No, he was a man.
	He was a man.
	The reason I asked was, it seems to me, and I always tell guests, it's perfectly Perfectly acceptable to differ with me.
	But your idea of pathogenic ideas, I like.
	And I will talk about, to use a term I'm sure you use, etiology of it, or the genesis of it in a moment, because that's the big question.
	But anyway, I think that it has affected women more than men.
	I guess it depends which idea pathogen we're speaking about.
	So, for example, militant feminism, of course, that would have certainly infected more women than men.
	When it comes to postmodernism, I'm not sure that that would be true.
	I think intellectual terrorism can afflict both sexes with equal alacrity.
	So I think it's really a function of which idea pathogen we're speaking of.
	When I look at pictures, Of rioters, I see men right now in America.
	When I see pictures of protesters and screamers, I see more women.
	So that's part of the reason I said that.
	Can I offer you a theory as to who are the typical men who would align with those women?
	Are you ready for this theory, Dennis?
	I'm actually dying for it, yeah.
	I know.
	I love theories.
	I'm not joking with you.
	I love theories.
	Go ahead.
	So there's a zoological term that was introduced in the 70s.
	The actual term is sneaky F-U-C-K-E-R. I don't know if you're allowed on your show to say the word.
	No, you're not.
	You can't.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	So sneaky effort is a term that the fancy scientific term is kleptogamy, which basically is the idea that in many species, You have, for example, two types of males.
	There's one type of phenotype, the dominant male, looks big, looks dominating, looks impressive.
	Then there's another type of male that is too, you know, non-dominant to be able to actually compete for the ladies.
	So that male will assume a strategy known as sexual mimicry.
	He will mimic a female's morphology and behavior so that the dominant male could let him through, Surreptitious copulations.
	Well, I argue that male social justice warriors are pursuing this sneaky effort strategy, right?
	I am so empathetic.
	I am so progressive.
	I am so non-threatening.
	Maybe I can sneak in a little copulation with you.
	I love it.
	I knew you would.
	Oh God, that's awesome.
	The men, these male protesters, Strike me, who I acknowledge am an alpha male, they strike me as utterly feminized men.
	Exactly.
	They don't look like Navy SEALs who took out bin Laden, don't they?
	They don't look what?
	They don't look like the Navy SEALs who took out bin Laden.
	No, no, that's correct.
	That is exactly right.
	And have tremendous contempt for that type of male.
	You might have actually, this is a little scary, and again, I'm just going out on a limb with you.
	It might explain part of the irrational hatred of Donald Trump.
	Absolutely.
	Do you want to get into some of the psychological reasons?
	Yes, of course.
	Yes.
	So I argue that many of my highfalutin, you know, ivory tower-dwelling latte-sipping colleagues view Donald Trump as an aesthetic injury, right?
	He's brazen, he's vulgar, he speaks, you know, with a vernacular that is unbecoming of, you know, the president.
	On the other hand, Barack Obama is majestic, he's tall, he's aristocratic, he says nothing.
	But my God, does he get me intoxicated with his radiant smile.

	Now that's the Washington Post citing two polls then.
	They said Democratic Party officials are worried about Latino votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
	This may be the story no one was aware of until this week, and all of a sudden the president shows up in Nevada, does Latino Roundtable in Nevada, in Arizona, and in California, David.
	I think we're on to something here.
	Well, look, the president's competing hard for the Latino vote.
	I wrote about this maybe 10 days ago.
	They've been sort of a mesh in these communities for a long time.
	I think to properly understand the competition for these votes is to understand that not all Latinos or Hispanics are the same.
	Out West, you've got Hispanics, Latinos of Mexican descent, and they're going to be more liberal than Americans of Cuban descent.
	And I spent some time in South Florida in 2019 talking to Cuban Americans.
	And, you know, the president...
	From a policy perspective and a personality perspective, he is a really good fit for the Cuban-American vote.
	They kind of look at him as somebody who walks and talks like they do.
	Where the president is going to have a challenge is the increasingly large, and it is already large, population of Americans from Puerto Rico and Americans of Puerto Rican descent around Orlando.

	She was appointed by Bill Clinton.

	Had been out of the hospital for several months.
	She's made it clear she's not a fan of Donald Trump.
	Made it pretty clear she was trying to hold on until a Democrat president came along so that she would not be succeeded by someone who'd be nominated as a Republican.
	It's very unlikely anything's going to happen between now and the election, but it also raises the stake of this election, doesn't it?
	We're only one vote away from losing the individual right to keep and bear arm, as well as other liberties.
	But this is a big one.
	Last time the Supreme Court weighed in on a...
	That we do, my friends. my friends.
	PragerU.com.
	So, I've never asked a guest this question.
	Do you hug men?
	Do I hug men?
	Well, as you probably know, in the Middle East, it's quite common for men to kiss one another when they greet each other, to walk, you know, arm in arm.
	To most Westerners, this is considered strange, but in the Middle East, it's no big deal.
	So, if I hugged you, it would be okay?
	I'll pucker up and I'll get ready for you, Dennis.
	Yes, sir.
	I'm telling you, I am having more fun with this interview.
	This is like an intellectual orgy.
	Oh, thank you so much.
	What a pleasure to talk to you.
	Thank you.
	It's amazing.
	This explanation.
	You know, I ask guest after guest.
	Really, I have very high-quality guests.
	They write very intelligent books, and I ask them routinely, how do you explain the hatred of Donald Trump?
	And everybody has a different answer, and they're never wrong, but it never quite gets to the core of it.
	And I think you got more to the core of it.
	Thank you.
	To these males, and also, I've said the whole time, I mean, it's eerie to hear someone say what you say word for word.
	It's eerie.
	People say that to me a lot, and I'm saying this to you.
	I have analyzed Barack Obama's speeches.
	During his eight years as president, I analyzed his speeches.
	I got the transcript, and then I would play it on the air and say, look at what he said.
	And it was always empty.
	The man is devoid of depth.
	He is as superficial a president as we have had in my lifetime.
	But he says nothing really well.
	Exactly.
	But what amazes me is that these otherwise sophisticated folks that we're talking about, I mean, these are not dumb folks.
	And yet, what is it that causes Well, I truly think it's because they have constructed a personhood that is kind of couched in all of these highbrow affectations, and therefore they can't extricate themselves from that.
	And then here comes this vulgar, brash, brazen guy who repudiates everything on which they have built their personhood.
	They can't have it.
	He is an existential, aesthetic injury to them, and they must destroy him.
	It's as simple as that.
	What about, and how does this, if at all, pertain to your theory of the sneaky effers?
	Well, I'm not sure in this case the ones who are loving Barack Obama and hating on Trump.
	Are driven by the sneaky effort.
	The sneaky effort strategy is really when I'm trying to demonstrate to the girls over there that I'm really progressive and empathetic and hopefully you'll get me a shot to have sex with you.
	So I think it's a different mechanism.
	But, you know, many of my colleagues, some of whom I think you've even held chats with, are perfectly reasonable and rational when it comes to endless topics.
	But when it comes to Donald Trump, their brains become complete manifestation of a natural lobotomy.
	They're unable to think.
	They are only driven by hysteria.
	It's truly disheartening to see it take place.
	And your explanation is that it insults their perception of self?
	Their perception of self and all of the metrics by which they define their identity, right?
	They have fancy vocabularies.
	They are, quote, nuanced thinkers.
	In reality, they're not nuanced thinkers.
	They just engage in gibberish.
	Let me give you an example.
	of a full nuanced thinking.
	Like, instead of saying that these attacks were due to Islamic, you know, tenets in their books, people will come up with all sorts of nuanced euphemisms.
	It's due to military, radical extremism, workplace violence.
	That means nothing.
	I mean, it sounds fancy.
	Or it could simply be that someone took their Islamic texts really seriously.
	But that seems brash.
	That seems vulgar.
	You're criticizing a religion.
	Better couch it in endless euphemisms when you appear like a nuanced thinker.
	It's baloney.
	I gave a speech at Purdue University about a year and a half ago.
	And about six months later, in the Purdue paper, a member of the administration apparently was at my speech.
	A black...
	Dean of Inclusion.
	Oh, yes.
	Yes, exactly.
	The black is not the issue, it's the Dean of Inclusion that's the issue.
	Right.
	Anyway, he wrote about me, that he attended it, and in passing rights, Dennis Prager said that slavery was not evil.
	Now, that's quite a charge, because if you don't think slavery was evil, you're a sick dude.
	Of course, I not only never said it, but I wisely record every one of my speeches because I know what the left will do.
	They will lie.
	And so I sent him the speech.
	Video.
	The video of the speech.
	So I have a question.
	When they make these charges, I have an acronym, SixHerb.
	Sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, bigotry.
	Do they believe it?
	Or are we in a post-truth world?
	No, I think so.
	To answer your question, I think we have to talk about two types of ethical systems.
	There's something called deontological ethics.
	That's absolute truth, right?
	It is always wrong to lie.
	That would be a deontological statement.
	A consequentialist statement would be, well, it's okay to lie if the consequences are that you protect someone's feelings.
	So if your spouse says, do I look fat in those jeans, and you want to have a long-lasting marriage, you might want to lie and protect his or her feelings, right?
	Now, the reality is we're all at times consequentialist and at times deontological.
	But when it comes to matters of truth, truth in a capital T sense, you should always be deontological.
	And you're bent.
	Whereas the left thinks that it's okay to be consequentialist.
	It's okay to lie, to doctor, to convince...
	All right, don't go away, Dr. Godsaad.
	Trending now on the Eric Mettaxas Show.
	That the 2016 election was the first that we know of, I guess.
	You had both major party candidates under investigation by the FBI. Now, you might ask yourself, well, gee, the candidates were really bad.
	Maybe they were all bad people.
	Now, I think what happened was the FBI should not have been involved in politics to the degree that they were.
	And the book starts out.
	It's really the road to the Mueller investigation in the first chapter, and it's about James Comey.
	And in the transition, this is after Donald Trump has won the presidency, in the transition, a lot of his most trusted people around him are strongly urging him to fire James Comey immediately.
	Rudy Giuliani said, he's going to turn on you.
	There's something wrong with this guy.
	And Chris Christie said, he's a loose cannon.
	And if you keep him after you become president, he'll become your loose cannon.
	You know, these people were not offended on behalf of Hillary Clinton in the way that Comey handled the Clinton email case.
	But they thought it was erratic, they thought it was unprofessional, and they thought it would be a prediction of the kind of stuff that would happen if Comey remained FBI director after Trump was president.
	Trump did not take their advice in what I think everybody could probably say was a mistake.
	He brought with him to the White House habits that he had used in decades in business.
	And one of those habits of mine was that he can bring people around.
	He can win them over.
	He can talk to them and with the sheer force of his personality, bring them over to his side.
	And he thought he could do that with Comey.
	And I think we can all agree that that was a failure.

	How many times a day do you ask yourself, am I going crazy?
	I had that moment last night when I turned on CNN for about three, two or three torturous minutes and I saw what looked like a, about 20 or 30 cars pulled up to a stage where CNN was hosting a town hall with Joe Biden.
	And I'm comparing that to the president's rally in Wisconsin because I went from CNN and the Biden town hall to the Trump rally in Wisconsin and I thought, I'm losing my mind.
	They have a drive-in movie theater kind of function and there's Biden standing like 12 feet away from Anderson Cooper.
	And then I saw a clip on social media that when they thought they were on a break, Anderson Cooper and Joe Biden immediately got close to each other and Biden leaned in and was whispering something in Anderson Cooper's ear.
	Like, they didn't think the cameras were on?
	God Saad is my guest.
	And I'm telling you, I'm having such a good time.
	It's painful that this is the last segment.
	His book is just out today, The Parasitic Mind, How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense.
	The feminized male and Trump has opened up vistas to me today.
	I think it's huge.
	And I don't mean it to mock these men at all.
	I think the absence of strong fathers, or any fathers, is having an effect.
	Barack Obama grew up without a father.
	I don't regard him as a masculine male.
	And he really appealed to those who don't like that.
	John Wayne is loathed.
	The president, anyone who doesn't wear a mask is attacked for machismo.
	Well, and the left has pathologized masculinity, right?
	We have a term, toxic masculinity.
	That's right.
	You are pathologizing half of humanity.
	That's not a good idea for a sexually reproducing species.
	That's right.
	So, in one minute, I want to know if there's a genesis, and I want to know if there's a solution.
	So pick whichever one you want.
	So in the last two chapters, I do talk about ways by which we can seek truth, by which we can vaccinate ourselves against all these idea pathogens.
	But I guess probably the way that I would end it, since we have less than a minute, is I'd like everybody to take personal responsibility in the battle of ideas.
	Don't subcontract the fight for reason, for the soul of our societies, to a few brave souls.
	Everybody, it doesn't matter how small or how big your platform is, If you see BS, challenge it.
	If you're going to lose friends because you are disagreeing with them, they're not worthy of your friendship.
	Get engaged.
	Your voice matters.
	Wow.
	I would say God bless you, but I think you're an agnostic.
	How about God bless you?
	That's very cute.
	You crack me up.
	My friend...
	Thank you, sir.
	You're a joy to talk to.
	Likewise.
	And you are my next book.
	Thank you so much.
	This is only the first of repeated visits to the show.
	Thank you.
	I look forward to it anytime.
	Good.
	Thank you again.
	Oh, by the way, say hello to your wife.
	Tell her that I broadcast every day from Yerevan West.
	Wow!
	That's right.
	She'll be happy to hear that.
	Glendale, California has more Armenians per square mile than any place outside of Armenia.
	That is true.
	I will tell her that.
	All right.
	Just thank you in Armenian.
	Go with God.
	Exactly.
	Go with God.
	All right.
	I have a feeling a lot of people are going to read this book.
	I am.
	Thank you for listening.
