	Real distinction any longer in terms of values and most policies.
	This is what I was referring to, the shutting down of all debate by the medical establishment.
	If you don't like the word communist, I'm happy to use the word leftist.
	As I say, they're essentially synonymous.
	They're not liberal.
	They're not conservative.
	Liberals and conservatives welcome debate especially on scientific issues, especially among scientists.
	One of the many lies of the left is follow the science.
	They don't follow the science.
	That's a lie.
	They follow the scientists that they want to follow.
	I've got a second opinion if you want to...
	If you should have surgery or radiation or chemotherapy, if you have, God forbid, cancer, right?
	Then you want a second opinion.
	But how a society should be treated, whether millions of people lose their work and millions of children can't get to play with children, that you don't want a second opinion.
	Vote Democrat.
	You will never have a second opinion.
	Everybody knows what I just said is true, and they'll still vote Democrat because they hate Trump.
	The deep reason.
	The conquering of reason by emotions is one of the oldest problems of the human race.
	I expected more in America, but I was naive.
	Well, let's put it this way.
	Two generations ago, it wouldn't have happened.
	It didn't.
	The objective facts.
	After the initial panic surrounding COVID-19, the objective facts now show a completely different picture.
	There is no medical justification for any emergency policy anymore.
	This is Belgian doctors.
	Open letter.
	The current crisis management has become totally disproportionate and causes more damage than it does any good.
	I wrote this the first month of the lockdown.
	Is the cure worse than the disease?
	The power loving moron Who is the governor of California has now told Californians that should they eat at a restaurant, which we still can't do inside a restaurant in LA, But if you can, you should put your mask on between bites.
	Well, as I just heard on Fox News very appropriately, this is the same guy who warned not to touch your mask frequently. .
	Thank you.
	Yeah, this is a good one.
	But what you can do is, you take a bite, then you go to the washroom to wash your hands with soap and water, and then come back and then put the mask on.
	after you've washed your hands then take it off again for the next bite and then go to the washroom again you told who You were told that?
	You were told on a flight that you should put your mask on between sips?
	Really, you want to say something?
	Hold on, here you go.
	And I was drinking coffee and the stewardess told me to put on I said, I mean, isn't that a little silly?
	You want me to put my mask on?
	Well, you were wrong immediately.
	It's not a little silly.
	Yeah.
	It's very silly.
	No, she said no.
	That's what you need to do.
	It's not silly to throw off a family because a three-year-old autistic kid won't wear a mask?
	I mean, to think what we're living through in America?
	Yeah, did you do it?
	That's a good question.
	You try to get away with it.
	Yeah, I mean, I did it, I didn't do it, I did it, I didn't do it.
	Right, exactly, I know.
	But I'm going to use that argument next time.
	Well, I'll tell you, I had a flight attendant like you had going to Chicago, and coming back from Chicago, I had a human being, not a robot.
	And she didn't bother me once.
	I'm in the front row of the plane.
	First class front row.
	I'm breathing onto a wall.
	Now, if a wall can get COVID from someone who doesn't have COVID, it's a problem.
	Yeah.
	We call for an end to all measures and ask for an immediate restoration of our normal democratic governance and legal structure.
	And of all our civil liberties.
	A cure must not be worse than the problem.
	Again, this is a huge number of doctors and medical workers in Belgium in an open letter.
	I thought, I thought, I'm sorry?
	600?
	You saw it?
	Yeah, I'm trying to look here.
	Yeah, I think it's about 600. I thought it was 800, but it is what it is.
	So I want to continue, folks, because this has some dramatic stuff in it.
	Well, that's already dramatic.
	A cure must not be worse than the problem is a thesis that is more relevant than ever in the current situation.
	We note, however, that the collateral damage now being caused to the population We'll have a greater impact in the short and long term on all sections of the population than the number of people now being safeguarded from Corona.
	You can't say it better than that, but here's the thing.
	If you say that, I wonder if you will not be removed from Twitter or Facebook for misinformation.
	I'm going to tweet this.
	See what happens.
	It's already up at DennisPrager.com.
	Is my column up at DennisPrager.com?
	Did you ever get a response?
	What do you know?
	In our opinion, the current corona measures and strict penalties for non-compliance with them are contrary to the values formulated by the Belgium Supreme Health Council, which until recently, as the health authority has always which until recently, as the health authority has always ensured quality medicine in the country.
	Science, expertise, quality, impartiality, independence, transparency.
	We believe that the policy has introduced mandatory measures that are not sufficiently scientifically based, unilaterally directed, and that there is not enough space in the media for an open debate in which different views and opinions are heard.
	So tell me, what word would you use to categorize the medical authorities in Belgium in light of this letter?
	Okay?
	What would you say about the American Psychiatric Association whose members diagnosed Barry Goldwater as mentally ill?
	Were these people leftists, communists, liars, phonies, frauds?
	What were they?
	Do you understand what the left has done to medicine and other sciences?
	It has done what it has done to sports.
	And to schools, and to universities, and to history, and to America.
	If you don't see it, you don't want to see it.
	I can't figure out why not.
	I can.
	To have corrosive, destructive things happen all about you, and think Trump is the reason, you are deluded.
	You are deluded.
	It will get worse if Biden wins, because then they will have more power to destroy.
	And it will begin with the economy.
	This is Owen Strand for townhall.com.
	If you're on a college campus today or have a child on campus, There's a solid chance you'll hear this.
	All white people are racist.
	You might hear this, too.
	America is founded on white supremacy.
	These two sentences are not mere overheated emotion.
	They express an ideology called Critical Race Theory, or CRT, which argues that race is a social construct made by white people.
	Just as race was once used to enslave and terrorize, so it is used today to keep America unequal, unfair, and hostile to minorities.
	The Trump administration just took symbolic and courageous action against CRT. It issued a memo to federal agencies calling for the end of the government's CRT racial sensitivity trainings, terming them divisive anti-American propaganda.
	Does America have real issues in its past?
	Yes.
	Have we made real progress that we must guard carefully?
	Also yes.
	The White House has led well here.
	I'm Owen Strand.

	Hi, this is Dennis Prager and you know we are in a fight for our fundamental freedoms.
	That's why I am grateful for my friends at Alliance Defending Freedom.
	They are on the front lines fighting pivotal lawsuits for Americans whose freedoms are threatened.
	And they do it for free.
	That's why we're asking you to be as generous as you can by giving today so that Alliance Defending Freedom can continue to fight these lawsuits and be ready when your rights are threatened too.
	Give your gift now by visiting adflegal.org slash Prager, and thank you for joining the fight for freedom.
	I'm interested in hearing your reaction to the debate.
	It certainly was different, wasn't it?
	Feisty, entertaining, combative.
	The president came into the debate as if he were a boxer who had come in sweaty, steamed, ready to go.
	And that was the problem.
	I absolutely get why Donald Trump is so pedo.
	I mean, this is a man who ran for office, was ridiculed at first, demeaned, mocked.
	He wins.
	25% of the Democrat delegation does not show up for his inaugural.
	Now, this isn't because of Russia-Trump collusion.
	It isn't because of the statements that he made in Charlottesville because he hadn't made them yet.
	The attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment, that's what prompted President Trump to put on his doctor to show people he wasn't insane.
	And then, of course, we had the two-and-a-half-year investigation of Russia-Trump collusion, all based upon mostly sketchy, phony, thin stuff that they would not have used against somebody that they like.
	Oh, did I mention he was impeached?
	All of this happened in three-and-a-half years.
	And the man is down just six points or so in the latest national poll.
	It's extraordinary what he's accomplished given the pressure he's been under.
	So this is why he was so angry.
	And I absolutely understand.
	But this is about winning over the so-called independence of swing voters.

	Defense Department says threat con levels have not been changed.
	There are articles about continuity of government and Nancy Pelosi may need to take over.
	Have we gone crazy with the president's diagnosis, Dan?
	Well, I think it's over to the president and the administration.
	to calm those fears, whatever they might be.

	Good news is another station added to the Dennis Prager Show I want to welcome.
	News Talk 103.3 WSGQ in Columbia, Alabama.
	And I have a feeling that Columbia, Alabama will not drop its name like Columbus, Ohio probably will.
	How did the leftists in Columbus, Ohio deal with it?
	And how does Columbia University deal with it?
	How does Yale deal with it?
	How does Stanford deal with it?
	Because the money involved in that name and keeping that name is greater than their anger at genocide and evil.
	Of course, that's what Columbia, everything that's Columbia in the U.S. Remember, Columbia, the country, well, it's also not from Columbus, but it's C-O-L-O-M-B-I-A. Columbus and Columbia are C-O-L-U-M-B-I-A. Yes.
	1-8 Prager 776. So it's a, what did you say, 600 doctors sign this in Belgium?
	God, I wish the president or vice president would mention these things.
	Why are we better prepared than any Republican, we who have to make the case daily for America's values?
	I don't say this is a criticism, but there's no question we are more aware of data that could support voting for a Republican.
	Is it because we interact with the other side more often?
	That's part of it.
	I think it does.
	That keeps you sharp in knowing what they stand for.
	But having this Belgian study, there should be people in the White House and on the Vice President's staff.
	This is all they do.
	They should be finding the data to support the positions that this country should take.
	This country is being shut down in medical dialogue.
	Your life, your freedom, your livelihood is at stake.
	Because the left has taken over much of medicine.
	Do you understand?
	The brainwash that you allow, some of you, not all of you, among my listeners, I suspect fewer.
	So the Orthodox Jews had a demonstration in Brooklyn.
	I shouldn't say the Orthodox Jews.
	Orthodox Jews.
	Isn't that funny?
	When I say the, Funny, funny choice.
	The Orthodox Jews.
	Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn burn masks.
	By the way, just out of curiosity, if you had to interact with people, would you rather be with those who burn the flag or those who burn masks?
	Just out of curiosity.
	But you know how I see it?
	I'll tell you how I see it.
	I see it as a religious community who really tick off the left more than any other.
	Religious Christians, religious Jews, saying, we don't worship your gods.
	That's how I see it.
	We worship the one God.
	Now you'll say, well, you worship God and you don't wear a mask?
	I understand that argument.
	But nevertheless, it's undeniable.
	The mask has become a sacred object.
	It is now a talisman.
	Wear it between bites.
	You understand, I do believe, I don't use this word often, I believe Gavin Newsom is an idiot.
	He's an idiot with power, which is a terrible, terrible combination.
	Now, I would never say this if he were a private citizen, and I never said it before, he was demonstrating that his idiocy is ruining lives.
	The lack of concern.
	They talk about compassion.
	The lack of compassion.
	You can't die with a visitor.
	I told you, I would.
	I know me.
	If I could crawl, I would crawl out of a hospital if I were dying.
	I want to be with my loved ones.
	And my loved ones want to be with me at that time.
	And you sick puppies of the medical establishment won't allow that to happen.
	In Canada, they didn't allow people to speak to their mother, their father, whoever in a nursing home from outside the window in Ottawa.
	Remember that case?
	From outside the window.
	It is clear practicing medicine does not necessarily induce either common sense or compassion.
	Just remember the Talmud, second holiest book in Judaism.
	The best doctors go to hell.
	Tell it to you in Hebrew again, eventually you'll remember it like, Gwani T'hachded.
	Remember that?
	That's right.
	That's Urdu.
	That means you have a right to remain silent in Urdu.
	I never fully mastered it because I can't make out exactly each word.
	I would master it.
	I would love to know you have a right to remain silent in Urdu.
	I can say, let's all go study with the Ayatollah in fluent Farsi.
	That's Persian.
	Anyway, Tov Shabbat Ophim L'Gehinom.
	The best doctors go to hell because they think that they're so great.
	They think they're gods.
	You know, I was only booed once in a lecture in 40 years, once, to a group of doctors, and I was invited to give the speech titled, The Gods of Modern Men and Women.
	And I quoted this, not this one about the best doctors, I didn't know it then.
	That, you know, it's a danger for doctors to think that they're gods.
	It's just every profession has a danger that's yours and they booed Trending now on the Mike Delegers show This is an enormous moment for our nation and
	I will say I've been kind of lifted up a little bit by seeing some of the president's fiercest political opponents wish him Godspeed and recovery from this.
	What's your perspective as somebody who knows the president, as somebody who's been with the president many times?
	What's the Charlie Kirk worldview on the news that the President and the First Lady have tested positive for COVID? Yeah, like everyone else, still processing it from kind of a macro perspective.
	I can tell you that the President is a terrific fighter.
	And look, he's going to take this very seriously.
	And this is not anything that any of us expected.
	People will politicize this.
	I saw a couple people very late last night when this news broke around 1 o'clock Eastern.
	I'll try to politicize it.
	But I think the rank and file are handling this fine from the Democrats and the left.
	But look, anyone who says they know what's going to happen is just guessing right now, Mike.
	And I just want to reinforce that.
	When I have a prediction, I will say it.
	I don't.
	There are about 500 different variables at play here of how this will impact the Supreme Court fight, how this will impact the presidential election, and how this will impact the inner workings of the White House.
	At this point, I can take a good guess, but this is something that has so many different causes and effects beyond, I think, what a lot of us in kind of the political prediction business can even try to chart.
	And, you know, some people are going on TV and they say, well, this is going to help and this is going to hurt.
	No one knows.
	That's just a blind guess.
	And people should just say that, because when you start going on TV doing that, I think it actually, you have a responsibility to the audience.

	On the issue of taxes, which of course came up, the President also had many, many things to say.
	He's paid all sorts of other kinds of taxes.
	Sales taxes.
	Payroll taxes.
	Speaking of which, article in World Net Daily today about how the Bidens, Joe and Jill, set up an S corporation to avoid paying $500,000 in payroll taxes.
	Perfectly legitimate.
	John Edwards did the same thing.
	When he won some big judgment when he was a trial lawyer, he set up an S corporation to avoid paying, I think it was $100,000 to $500,000 in payroll taxes as well.
	Now, nothing wrong, nothing illegal.
	Anything, any more than everything Donald Trump has done was nothing wrong and nothing illegal.
	But this is the side that wants to raise taxes.
	This is the side that says rich people are undertaxed.
	And here you have an opportunity to contribute $500,000 to the Social Security system and the Medicaid system.
	And instead of doing that, you set up an S-corporation to avoid it?
	I mean, that's a point to be brought up.
	John Edwards set up an S-corporation.
	Remember John Edwards?
	John Kerry moored his 75-foot yacht in Rhode Island rather than in Massachusetts to avoid paying $500,000 in taxes.
	When the story became public, he was embarrassed and then paid it.
	But it shows you what rich people do to minimize their tax liability.

	This is a woman who's led an extraordinary life.
	She has seven children.
	Two of them adopted.
	One with special needs.
	An outstanding...
	She's loud enough.
	I have two guests right now.
	I'll explain who they are and the subject.
	One is a college student at Florida State University.
	He was ousted from his position in the student government.
	He will tell us why.
	And we have an advocate for him, and that is Tyson Langhofer.
	of the Alliance Defending Freedom, one of the most important groups in America.
	They provide free legal services to people whose liberties have been removed.
	He is a senior counsel at ADF. Gentlemen, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Thank you for having us, Dennis.
	Very good.
	So let me ask the student first, in a nutshell, what happened to you?
	Yeah, well, I'm a senior at Florida State University where I've served in Student Senate for going on three years now, serving in various positions of leadership, most recently as the Senate president.
	Also a devout Catholic, and I take part in a Catholic group chat, which offers prayer and encouragement to other students.
	However, when one of my fellow believers sent a message asking us to financially support causes that were contrary to our Catholic faith, I felt the need to point out that discrepancy.
	And without my permission, another student, I took screenshots of my messages and sent them to the Student Senate, who took them out of context and subsequently removed me from my job as Student Senate President for simply stating well-known Catholic doctrines in a private group chat.
	Right.
	So let's be very specific.
	What group were you referring to, and what was the belief that was contrary to your religious values?
	Yeah, so I'm referring to the Catholic Student Union at Florida State University.
	What they asked us to financially support was, amongst other organizations, blacklivesmatter.com and the ACLU.
	And I just pointed out the fact that blacklivesmatter.com is opposed to the nuclear family, and the ACLU advocates for wider access to abortion.
	And these views are in direct conflict with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
	That was it?
	Yes, sir.
	What does it mean removed from the Florida State University Student Senate?
	They took a vote among other senators and you were kicked off?
	Essentially, they made a motion to take a vote of no confidence in me as Senate President, claiming that my Catholic faith was abhorrent.
	Wait, they said that?
	Essentially that's what they claim.
	They claim that my beliefs that come from my faith as a Catholic disqualified me from serving as student senate president.
	And they took a vote to remove me from my job as president, and they've succeeded.
	So I would like to see the words.
	Let me go to the Council for ADF here and speak to Tyson Leinkhofer.
	So, Tyson, let me understand here.
	It seems to me that he got kicked off because He criticized BLM. Am I wrong?
	Well, yes.
	Among other things, he wasn't even really a criticism.
	He simply said, hey, you know, if you want to support that, you can, but just be aware you're all Catholics, and they support views that are contrary to the Catholic Church.
	So it wasn't even really a criticism, but it was just pointing out a fact.
	Right.
	Do you think that had he not mentioned BLM, he would have been kicked off?
	I want to know what really triggered them.
	Well, it's always hard to know, Dennis.
	I don't know.
	And the reason why we don't know is because there were so many students that came in and talked about this.
	What happened, Dennis, there was an initial vote that very night.
	There was a vote to kick him off.
	And it lost 23 to 13. But over the next two days, they engaged in a public pressure campaign to get senators to change their vote.
	And that Friday, two days later, they held another vote that was a seven-hour Zoom call where hundreds of students appeared and just castigated Jack for holding Catholic views.
	And stated that he was disqualified for serving as president.
	And so it's hard to say what they were all saying, but essentially they said, you know, your Catholic view disqualifies you for president and you should be removed.
	And they voted 33-3 to remove Jack as Senate president.
	So Jack, what was it that did it?
	Was it the abortion issue or was it the nuclear family issue?
	I'm going to take your answer in a moment.
	And I'm going to go back to them.
	By the way, there's a banner for ADF. It's a good example.
	They're taking this case for free.
	It's only because people like you and me, and I mean that because I support them too.

	She's led an incredibly outstanding life with a wonderful family.
	We don't anticipate any kind of unanticipated event that could throw us off schedule.
	Now, in my opinion, Senator, four members of the Judiciary Committee have violated Article 6, which bans religious tests in the past.
	Senator Feinstein, when she asked or when she said the dogma lives loudly within you.
	Senator Durbin, who is himself a Catholic, when he asked Judge Barrett if she was an Orthodox Catholic.
	Senator Hirono, when she responded no to a question of religion off the table.
	Senator Harris's questioning of Brian Boucher during his confirmation hearing for a federal judgeship also raises questions among Catholics, especially the Knights of Columbus, of which I have been a member for 15 years.
	Senator Harris, along with Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono, questioned Mr. Boucher's ability to serve him partially based on his membership of the Knights.
	Do you think your colleagues violated Article 6 in these instances?
	I do.
	I think this is the single biggest issue in the confirmation of Judge Barrett.
	Discrimination against people of religion is on full display.
	I think our colleagues on the other side need to be reminded there is no religious test for public service in America.
	None whatsoever.

	But the energy this president has, the ability to do all the things that he's done are gifts from God.
	And I think that he's probably been tempted in his life to ignore that a little bit, and that this might be an opportunity for him to understand.
	These things, including the ability to be president and to affect things for good, these are gifts from God.
	These are privileges.
	As you said, again, it's an opportunity.
	Sometimes when you go through something like this, it's God's way of blessing you.
	Well, I was thinking of that specifically when I wrote the section of the column today that said the president's going to have a hard time slowing down.
	There's an element to the manic addiction to success that for people that really You know, live off that vibe.
	And I think that sometimes there's just no other way for God to reach certain people than to It's a remarkable story that I'm covering here.
	Remarkable means worthy of remark.
	Worthy of fear.
	I much more fear what is happening on campuses than I fear COVID. It's not even comparable.
	The ADF works with cases like this, Alliance Defending Freedom.
	That's how I know about this case.
	That's how the country will know about this case.
	There's a banner for them at my website.
	Now, we have the student.
	He's kicked off three years.
	He's been on the Florida State University Student Senate, including president, correct?
	Is that right, Jack Denton?
	Correct.
	So you must have had allies.
	I mean, to become the president, obviously a fair number of the fellow senators thought well of you.
	Yes, sir.
	Right.
	Did they not know that you were a Catholic?
	No, it was very...
	My faith was evident.
	I wore a lapel pin to Student Senate every week with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, and it was very evident that I was a Catholic.
	They knew.
	Did they assume that you were a Catholic who thought abortion has nothing to do with morality?
	I couldn't say what they may have assumed about my faith, but I can tell you that they knew that I was Catholic.
	Okay, so I asked you, what was the trigger here?
	Was it the BLM nuclear family issue or the abortion issue?
	Well, I'd say that the students who spoke out that night referenced both beliefs.
	I wouldn't say it was either.
	Did they reference BLM? Sorry?
	Did they reference BLM, Black Lives Matter?
	Yes, they did.
	See, I'm an outsider, obviously, to this issue.
	It seems to me that you cannot...
	I can think BLM is a dictatorial Marxist organization.
	That will lead to great, terrible things in the United States.
	But I could say that, and it doesn't matter.
	But if you say that at a university, I don't know how you survive professionally.
	So that's what I'm really asking.
	Do you have thoughts on that, the ADF Council?
	Tyson, what is your take?
	I mean, there's clearly issues on campus.
	That if you take a position that's different than the prevailing orthodoxy, that you will bring down a lot of heat on you.
	And I think it is difficult to say which one is the most prevalent.
	Obviously, you know, the discussion of race and how to deal with it in society is a very hot topic on campus.
	And if you take a position that's different than prevailing orthodoxy, I think it is safe to say that there's going to be some...
	Alright, so what is your and ADF's case for Jack?
	The Senate can remove anybody it wants, obviously.
	Yeah, what they can't do, Dennis, is remove somebody from office because of their religious beliefs.
	They cannot impose a religious test.
	And that's what they've done here.
	They've essentially said no one would Jack...
	The Student Senate is a part of the university.
	They are not only bound by the university's nondiscrimination policy, but also the First Amendment.
	And the Student Senate allocates $13.7 million every year of student fees.
	And when they do that, they have to do it in a viewpoint neutral manner.
	And so they violated Jack's First Amendment rights by removing him.
	from an official position in the university because of his religious beliefs.
	And so we're asking the federal court in Florida to reinstate Jack because that was a violation of his constitutional rights.
	What if, let me just for my own clarity, what if a student said that echoing something that Paul said in the New Testament that An extrapolating poll didn't specifically address voting.
	What if a student said, I don't think women should have the vote based on my Christian beliefs?
	Well, again, I think that there's a difference between, obviously, you can take somebody's political positions into account when deciding whether to vote for them, and deciding whether to support legislation.
	But what you can't do is say, Because of your religious beliefs or because you are religious, you can't serve in this position, and we're going to remove you solely because of that.
	And that's the distinction here.
	Obviously, legislators, they have, you know, certain immunity from even when they're engaged in discussion on the legislative floor.
	But what you couldn't do is say, in order to serve in the Senate, you can't be religious or you can't be of a certain sex or a certain race.
	Those are prohibited categories.
	And that would be a violation of their constitutional rights.
	Jack, did anybody come to your defense?
	Yes.
	Believe it or not, not all of the students who spoke out that night were advocating for my removal.
	There were a handful of students, although they were in the minority, but there were a handful of students who did come to my defense and recognize that, you know, I'm a qualified leader who...
	I had served honorably for three years, and just because my Catholic faith influences what I believe, that doesn't disqualify me from serving in this position.
	I don't understand their argument, the opponents.
	To the best of my knowledge, the Florida State University Senate has no effect on Florida law or national law with regard to the nuclear family or abortion.
	So I don't even understand.
	And here's to the point of the ADF. You truly are being removed for a viewpoint emanating from your religious beliefs that you can't even act on.
	Yes, sir.
	Absolutely correct.
	Everything we do in the Student Senate at Florida State, I mean, none of it is partisan.
	It doesn't really matter if you're a conservative or a liberal, a Catholic or a Jew.
	That doesn't...
	Play into what we're doing in student government at Florida State University.
	So you're absolutely right in the sense that...
	So really, by the way, was it pointed out, and Tyson, let me ask you, is it pointed out this is not just Catholics, Orthodox Jews, fundamentalists, or you should say Evangelical Christians, Mormons, they'd be disqualified as well.
	All right, I'll get your response and thank you.
	ADF banner at my website trending now on the Hugh Hewitt show and now by the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell good Good morning, Mr. Leader.
	Welcome back to The Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Great to have you.
	Good morning, Hugh.
	Glad to be with you.
	Have you spoken to the president since his diagnosis of the COVID virus?
	No, I haven't.
	But it certainly underscores that the coronavirus is not concerned about the American election because...
	And that it's not going away until we get a vaccine.
	Do you agree with the importance given the nomination of Judge Barrett to the Constitution of this month?
	I absolutely do.
	And you know that you and I both agree that the most significant, long-lasting accomplishment of the last four years, the president coupled with this Republican majority in the Senate, has been putting people on, young men and women on the bench who believe in the quaint notion that maybe young men and women on the bench who believe in the quaint notion that maybe a job the judge is Now we have an opportunity to put another Supreme Court justice in place.
	We've done 53 circuit judges and a total of over 200 to the federal judiciary that I think will reap benefits to the American people for decades to come.
	Will Judge Barrett receive a vote on the floor before the election, Leader McConnell?
	So, let's go.
	Well, the plan is for the nomination to come out of committee on October the 22nd, as Chairman Lindsey Graham has indicated.
	And we will be voting on the nominee very soon.
	I haven't picked an exact point to bring the nomination up.
	But it's front and center for the American people.
	And as we move ahead, I'll be more specific about the precise time for consideration on the floor.

	Trending now on the Eric Matias show.
	The president's prognosis will probably be the most watched medical recovery in history.
	We've never had an officeholder running for re-election, basically against a virus that he's running against politically, now having to fight it physically.
	I think there's going to be a lot of observations about that.
	And again, I think this kind of casts some sort of pale or shadow.
	I'm not sure exactly what it does.
	The thing about this president is it doesn't really matter how big the story is.
	I mean, think about this.
	Nobody's talking about Ruth Bader Ginsburg anymore, and they haven't for days.
	And she only passed away, you know, however long ago.
	These things in this cycle don't seem to last very long.
	So if he gets a good head of steam behind him, gets recovering, gets on the hydroxy, he's feeling better in five days.
	They say, yeah, you're going to finish the quarantine, but you can go back to a regular schedule inside the White House.
	That's going to be enormous news.
	All right, final question here.
	Here.
	Florida State University, so popular he was the president of the Student Senate, now thrown off because as a religious Catholic, he believes in the nuclear family and that the unborn have a right to live.
	Very controversial positions.
	So controversial that you must realize, folks, there's nothing to do.
	This is not like the Senate of the United States.
	He has no effect on policy.
	Merely believing that has had him removed from the Senate.
	The ADF Alliance Defending Freedom has taken on the case.
	Senior Counsel of ADF Tyson Langhofer is with Jack Denton, the student.
	So my final question was, this is not just a matter of Catholic, and I know you all, both of you know this, but has this point been made because his positions would be shared by Orthodox Jews Evangelical Christians, Protestants, not just Catholics, and devout Mormons.
	And for that matter, Muslims.
	So, has that been made, that case?
	Yes, I think it has, Dennis.
	I think, you know, people pointed that out.
	You know, and one of the really difficult things here, Dennis, not only is that, they said that Jack was unable to represent people who had different views.
	But if that's the case, then we can't have representative government, right?
	Because the people that were trying to remove him would have the same problem with representing Catholic students if they were disqualified.
	That's right, exactly.
	So that can't be the case.
	That cannot be the case.
	Right.
	Go on.
	I'm just gonna say that and Jack showed that he can do that he did it for three years and he was elected by those same people and he showed that he can lead people of different beliefs and that's the great thing about government in a pluralistic society and that's all we're trying to say is that no student should feel forced to silence you know their deepest moral convictions in order to keep a job or participate in student government well let me just say you are a credit to ADF ADF again there's a banner please donate I am I have,
	I will, again.
	This is a really great organization.
	And Jack, I just want you to know you are a credit to your faith, and I tell you this is a religious Jew.
	Thank you, Dennis.
	That means a lot.
	I really do appreciate it.
	And I appreciate you having us on today.
	That's very kind.
	I wish you both well.
	But more than wishing them well is to finance ADF. You realize he's been removed for his views.
	Which he can't act upon and and his views I mean that is now to say that the nuclear family is the ideal I Believe the nuclear family is the ideal.
	I am very close.
	I married a single mother I Have very dear friends of same-sex couples married to each other They know my I believe the ideal is a man a woman married and children I understand that the human species is complex and there are wonderful people who can't live by an ideal, But you can't drop the ideal.
	Trending now on the Mike Delliger Show.
	I went to the, I was a private citizen, not a member of the broadcast community.
	I went as a private citizen because the press was closed off at a special event yesterday in Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump National is, where the president dropped by to just give greetings to close friends in the area.
	This is his neighborhood, as it were.
	He came from New York, was in Florida now, but he comes to New Jersey.
	And it's only about 20 minutes from my house.
	In kind of about an hour southwest of New York City, a beautiful bucolic area of New Jersey.
	So they said, Joe, would you drop by, say hi, shake some hands?
	I said, I'd be more than happy to because I really believe this election, we're in the fight of our life.
	And Mike, you know, and like we talked about on the show, I saw the president.
	He was at the top of his game.
	It was three o'clock yesterday.
	When I tell you charming and vulnerable and funny and warm.
	And powerful.
	You know what he did?
	He did a speech for about a half an hour or so.
	And he had to go.
	He had to be back at the White House.
	Wheels up at 4.30 out of Morristown, New Jersey.
	And he said, you know what?
	He looked at the people all around me.
	I got to take questions.
	These are my people.
	And he took 45 minutes he did questions, Mike.
	The stamina of this man.
	And I'm telling you what.
	I don't really...
	I concern myself with whether people like the president or not.
	I'm speaking objectively here because I'm a workout geek.
	You know that, Mike, you know?
	Sure, I know.
	You're fit.
	But I'll try anyway.
	But the stamina of President Trump, his voice was strong.
	And I talked to Dr. Greer this morning, Dr. Stephen Greer, one of our guys on the air, and Dr. Greer reiterated.
	He said the president's voice was strong.
	I said, like, top of his game.
	And that would indicate that he is asymptomatic and everything's going to be great.

	All white people are racist.
	You might hear this too.
	America is founded on white supremacy.
	These two sentences are not mere overheated emotion.
	They express an ideology called critical race theory or CRT. Which argues that race is a social construct made by white people.
	Just as race was once used to enslave and terrorize, so it is used today to keep America unequal, unfair and hostile to minorities.
	The Trump administration just took symbolic and courageous action against CRT. It issued a memo to federal agencies calling for the end of the government's CRT racial sensitivity trainings, terming them divisive anti-American propaganda.

	The president came into the debate as if he were a boxer who had come in sweaty, steamed, ready to go.
	And that was the problem.
	I absolutely get why Donald Trump is so pedo.
	I mean, this is a man who ran for office, was ridiculed at first, demeaned, mocked.
	He wins.
	25% of the Democrat delegation does not show up for his inaugural.
	Now, this isn't because of Russia-Trump collusion.
	It isn't because of the statements that he made in Charlottesville because he hadn't made them yet.
	The attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment, that's what prompted President Trump to put on his doctor to show people he wasn't insane.
	And then, of course, we had the two-and-a-half-year investigation of Russia-Trump collusion, all based upon mostly sketchy, phony, thin stuff that they would not have used against somebody that they like.
	Oh, did I mention he was impeached?
	All of this happened in three-and-a-half years.
	And the man is down just six points or so in the latest national poll.
	It's extraordinary what he's accomplished given the pressure he's been under.

	Hi everyone, the male-female hour is the second hour of my show every Wednesday.
	I want to remind you, if you don't get to hear all three hours, there's a very simple solution called PragerTopia.
	It's effortless.
	Just go to it on your phone, on your watch, on your laptop, on your desktop, on your tablet.
	Have I exhausted the possibilities?
	PragerTopia.com.
	That's the solution.
	And no commercials.
	PragerTopia.com.
	Male-female hour is the most honest hour I know of about men and women.
	I am not a man fan and I'm not a woman fan.
	There are wonderful people of each sex and disgusting people of each sex.
	That's the way it is.
	It seems to be evenly distributed.
	Though men's obnoxiousness is expressed in a different way from women's obnoxiousness often.
	Okay.
	So today, topic I've never raised.
	How many years have we been doing the male-female hour, gentlemen?
	About 12 years.
	12 times, let's say, 50. Even though it would be more like 45. But 12...
	Even 12 times 40 is 480. So about 500 shows.
	500 hours of this.
	By the way, you could hear all of those, or nearly all of those, or all of those, I think, at pragatopia.com.
	What is it, Pragatopia Unlimited?
	A lot of people have used this as marital therapy, and it comes free.
	Be that as it may, Today's topic is one that might be a bit sensitive for some of you, but it's unbelievably important, not only for you, but for the country.
	And it arose yesterday in a third-hour interview with Gad Saad, S-A-A-D. And I got a lot of feedback.
	It's one of the most interesting hours, and I intend that every hour be the most interesting hour I ever broadcast.
	I do.
	I'm serious.
	That is a goal of mine.
	Nevertheless, even amongst those, it was spectacularly interesting to me, too.
	A professor at Concordia University in Canada, evolutionary psychologist.
	And the question arose, And I generally don't have politics in the male-female hour, and I don't intend for politics to dominate now either.
	But I want you to understand the genesis of what I'm about to talk to you about, which is the feminization of men, which I believe has taken place in the last two generations.
	Not all men, but many men.
	Doesn't mean that they're bad men, just means that they...
	They are not masculine.
	And I, by the way, I've discussed that.
	What does masculinity mean to a woman?
	And that might arise today in your responses, which is fine.
	But how did it arise was very interesting.
	I asked him a question that I asked many of my guests.
	And even though his subject was not purely political, I asked him as well because he was obviously a real deep thinker.
	And I said, how do you account for the irrational hatred of Donald Trump?
	I totally understand how I would account to opposition.
	People don't agree with him or even don't like his method of communication.
	That's perfectly understandable.
	But there's a level of hatred among vast numbers of Americans that is not rational.
	And he totally agreed, and he said, in his view, it is hatred of a masculine man.
	Barack Obama, in contrast, was not a masculine man.
	And that's not an attack.
	None of this is an attack.
	There were fine women who were not feminine.
	There were fine men who were not masculine.
	So it's not meant as an attack.
	It was meant as an exploration of a very important topic.
	In the past, when you think of the men who were adored and venerated, these were very masculine men.
	Lincoln, Washington.
	The generals, Patton, Eisenhower, I mean, these, they radiated a masculinity.
	The actors radiated a masculinity.
	The most obvious example is John Wayne.
	They, without getting into an explanation of masculinity, you have to acknowledge that that was the case, and it is not the case now.
	Where the venerated are the opposite.
	And in fact, masculinity is attacked.
	It's called toxic masculinity.
	There is no difference among those who attack toxic masculinity between masculinity and toxic masculinity because any aspect of masculinity that we had adored in the past would be called toxic by the people who say it's toxic.
	So, here's my question.
	A, do you agree that men have been feminized in the last generation?
	That's the key question.
	Demasculinized.
	Even in some cases, emasculated.
	And do you have such people in your immediate life?
	Your husband?
	Your father?
	Your brother, your son, male friends.
	There's no doubt in my mind that this is what has occurred.
	Because the ideal that has pervaded the media and academia is that men are like or should be like women.
	Women are sensitive.
	Men must be sensitive.
	Women cry.
	Men must cry.
	Women irradiate compassion over competition.
	Men must radiate compassion over competition.
	Men want to win.
	Women want to cooperate.
	It's a very common theme that the competitive gene, as it were, in men should be exorcised I would add, I think we'll do another show on this.
	I think a lot of women's femininity has been compromised.
	Where the message has been, oh, feminine, that's just a euphemism for weak.
	That's the charge against femininity.
	You can help out here because people...
	Need to hear about this from people experiencing men in their lawyer if you're a man.
	Do you agree with me that this has happened?
	Has masculinity been removed from a lot of men, indeed as an ideal?
	If you showed a John Wayne movie to your woke son or daughter, they would find him repulsive.
	He would be, as it were, a forerunner of Donald Trump.
	And this professor led me to believe that at the core of the hatred of that man, this president, is his masculinity.
	Which is sometimes expressed in a boorish way, no question.
	But nevertheless, I think that there was, it was eye-opening to me and hence the topic today on the Male Female Hour.
	I'm Dennis Prager.

	Male-female hour.
	If you want unlimited text and unlimited talk and two gigabytes of data and you want to spend just $20 a month on the service I checked out because I got a phone on this service.
	It works great.

	Pound 250, Dennis Prager.
	Male-female, our subject is, have men in the last two generations been feminized?
	I believe so.
	There are exceptions, but a masculine man is currently not common.
	And I have more thoughts on it, but I want to get your input.
	Kate.
	How come Kate is on line 6 and line 7?
	It's the same Kate.
	We'll have to figure that out.
	St. Paul, Minnesota.
	Hello.
	Kate?
	Okay, so this is bizarre.
	I'll go to the other line.
	Kate?
	Hello!
	It's great to speak with you.
	Yes, thank you.
	It's mutual.
	So when I heard this topic come up, I wanted to share a great family story.
	I have a big family.
	I have six children.
	I first had three girls, and then I have my first boy.
	And early, you know, when he's a newborn, I'm changing his diaper.
	And not just the plumbing department is different, but the body, it's different, the muscle tone.
	All of that's different.
	And I thought, oh, I'm going to have to parent this kid.
	A lot differently than I would a girl.
	And it was then, and it's continued, you know, for the rest of my life with this son.
	But boys, you have to make sure they have their time with their dads and that they are comfortable and okay just being roughhousing and doing the things men do.
	You're a good woman.
	That's correct.
	Roughhousing would be considered now by the elite.
	Probably the American Psychological Association, among others, as aggression, which must be rooted out.
	Anyway, anything distinctively male is to be rooted out.
	That is what is almost the definition of emasculine, or demasculinization.
	That which is distinctive to male nature is to be rooted out.
	But for at least two generations, I learned that when I was in college, men and women are basically the same.
	So if men and women are basically the same, clearly masculinity is a foreign object imposed by the environment and should be rooted out.
	The more similar a man is to a woman, the better a man he is.
	That is what is taught.
	Demasculinized man buys it.
	Is it disappearing or pushed underground?
	It's almost irrelevant.
	There's no difference.
	Underground has disappeared.
	Can it be resuscitated if it's just underground?
	I guess that's the implication of your question.
	I'm speaking to Triple G. I think it can.
	But I don't know if it can once you're an adult.
	I don't know.
	I'm not saying it can't.
	I really am not.
	I think you can find your masculinity.
	But you first have to know it's lost.
	Second, you have to know it's desirable to have.
	Which means you will be disliked and dismissed.
	And part of being masculine is not giving a damn.
	The herd instinct bred into Americans today is emasculating.
	When I look at the men in these protests, forget the rioters, that ironically is a sick form of male testosterone.
	But among the protesters, There is, especially the men protesting at feminist rallies.
	Look at how pro-woman I am.
	A masculine man is a protector of women, but he's not a pro-feminist.
	If you want a distinction.
	Okay, oh by the way, the point was mentioned about time with fathers.
	The absence of fathers is often emasculating.
	I think it happened to Barack Obama.
	I don't mean to insult him because it's not an insult.
	Just a description.
	I find a zero masculine about the man.
	And having had no father, a father, not because the father died.
	It's very different.
	The father voluntarily disappeared.
	That has an effect on the vast majority of males.
	You get your masculinity in large measure from the adult males in your life.
	By the way, they could be movie figures.
	Dr. Marmer, the psychiatrist I have on periodically on Happiness Hour, UCLA psychiatrist.
	Told me about a patient he had many years ago, whose father was a traveling salesman, would come home on weekends and spend the whole time with his wife, that is, the mother of this patient.
	So he really never saw his dad.
	So what he did on weekends was went to the movies, and he got his masculine models from movie figures, from actors like John Wayne, Spencer Tracy, and a whole host of others.
	Strong men, good men, fought for what is right, but fought.
	And the loathing of the masculine male is a part of the loathing of Donald Trump.
	It's not everything, but it's a big part.
	And I only realized this one day ago.
	This is my 24-hour anniversary of that realization.
	Okay.
	Let's go to Brenda in Denver.
	Brenda of Denver.
	Dennis Prager, hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Gosh, this is such an honor to talk to you.
	I mean, I could almost cry because you have changed my whole life and my whole viewpoint, and I have managed to get so many people to listen to your fireside chat that they are actually thinking and they are not sheep.
	And thank you.
	Thank you.
	So much for all you do.
	But when you had this, I immediately thought of my dear friend, Miss Jessie, who's going to be 90 next month.
	And we have Western Night.
	And the Duke is our favorite.
	John Wayne.
	Nobody beats John Wayne.
	And when they were going to rip down his statue, we both almost cried.
	And she said to me, How come men aren't men anymore?
	Well, I want to hear your answer when we come back.

	Now by the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell.
	Good morning, Mr. Leader.
	Welcome back to The Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Great to have you.
	Good morning, Hugh.
	Glad to be with you.
	Have you spoken to the president since his diagnosis of the COVID virus?
	No, I haven't.
	But it certainly underscores that the coronavirus is not concerned about the American election because...
	And that it's not going away until we get a vaccine.
	Do you agree with the importance given the nomination of Judge Barrett to the Constitution of this month?
	I absolutely do.
	And you know that you and I both agree that the most significant long-lasting accomplishment of the last four years, the president coupled with this Republican majority in the Senate, has been putting people on, young men and women on the bench who believe in the quaint notion that maybe young men and women on the bench who believe in the quaint notion that maybe a job the judge is Now we have an opportunity to put another Supreme Court justice in place.
	We've done 53 circuit judges and a total of over 200 to the federal judiciary that I think will reap benefits for the American people for decades to come.
	Will Judge Barrett receive a vote on the floor before the election, Leader McConnell?
	So...
	Well, the plan is for the nomination to come out of committee on October the 22nd, as Chairman Lindsey Graham has indicated.
	And we will be voting on the nominee very soon.
	I haven't picked an exact point to bring the nomination up.
	But it's front and center for the American people.
	And as we move ahead, I'll be more specific about the precise time for consideration on the floor.

	But think about this.
	The president's prognosis will probably be the most watched medical recovery in history.
	We've never had an officeholder running for re-election, basically against the virus that he's running against politically, now having to fight it physically.
	I think there's going to be a lot of observations about that.
	And again, I think this kind of casts some sort of pale or shadow.
	I'm not sure exactly what it does.
	The thing about this president is it doesn't really matter how big the story is.
	I mean, think about this.
	Nobody's talking about Ruth Bader Ginsburg anymore, and they haven't for days.
	And she only passed away, you know, however long ago.
	These things in this cycle don't seem to last very long.
	So if he gets a good head of steam behind him, gets recovering, gets on the hydroxy, he's feeling better in five days.
	They say, yeah, you're going to finish the quarantine, but you can go back to a regular schedule inside the White House.
	That's going to be enormous news.
	And then...
	You know, who knows?
	Maybe he'll be on full blast presidency and just solving problems like we can't keep track of.
	We don't know what's going to happen there.
	But if he comes back from this with any kind of degree of stamina and health, I think that's going to be the determination on the election.
	I think the way the president handles the coronavirus physically in his body, I think will, to some degree, determine the outcome of what happens on November 3rd.
	I just...
	You can't make this stuff up.
	2020 has been the weirdest year in human, at least in the modern era of human history.
	The only thing that could top this would be, since it's 2020, this could happen, that the president beats this and announces to the world that he was injecting bleach every day and that's what got him through.
	Which we are not advocating on the Eric Metaxas show.
	I think that could be...

	Dennis Prager, male-female hour.
	Have men been demasculinized in the last two generations?
	There's no doubt in my mind that the answer is yes.
	And where is Brenda?
	So why did you...
	Your friend is...
	You're 50-something, and your friend...
	She's going to be 90. And we think alike.
	So she asked you, what has happened to men?
	What's your answer?
	I just told them that I think that they are trying to bow down to popular culture.
	So that women of today will like them.
	Women of today don't like heroes.
	You got it.
	Bingo.
	I never say that.
	It's a cliche, but you won the bingo on 062. You did it.
	That's correct.
	They don't want heroes anymore.
	That's right.
	That's correct.
	All right, I'll let you go.
	Thank you.
	That is really good.
	In fact, it leads me to Jeremy in Greenville, South Carolina.
	Dan, your question.
	Go ahead, Jeremy.
	Thanks for taking the call.
	I just want your take, Dennis, on what the current definition, role, expectation of a masculine father is in the household.
	I hear you talk.
	I agree with your standpoint 100% that we've been emasculated as grown men, but I wonder what your take is on it.
	Good, I will give you...
	In the 2020 is what that is, but thank you for your time.
	Thank you so much.
	I don't believe that the issue is 2020, and I'm not saying he does, but I just want to make clear masculinity is masculinity in any age.
	First of all, one guideline to what is masculine is that which is not feminine.
	You heard it in the song just sung, About his whiskers.
	Women don't have whiskers, God willing.
	And that is a perfect example.
	It's called a secondary masculine trait.
	Primary would be genitalia.
	And that masculine is not feminine.
	Now, ironically, there's an irony here.
	I fully acknowledge it.
	So I know I'm a masculine man.
	Clear to me is my height.
	And it's clear to most of you.
	But I will give you more traits of masculine in a moment.
	But I am clean-shaven.
	And today, you know, there are far more bearded men today than there were 10 years ago, certainly 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago.
	My theory on that is, and I think a lot of guys look great with the unshaven look.
	I don't have an issue with it.
	But my take on why it has happened is, this is almost men's last chance of saying I am masculine.
	Everything else has been removed from them, and it's the one thing that women can't do.
	So, one aspect of masculinity is as distinguished from the feminine.
	I asked women what is masculine to them, and many of them answered, a person who takes responsibility, who takes charge.
	Strong.
	I will add the following.
	It's a man who knows who he is, and therefore does not seek to march with the herd.
	This is a very big factor.
	He is not intimidated by others.
	Doesn't mean he's not kind.
	Meanness is not masculine.
	There are just as many mean women as mean men.
	Meanness has nothing to do with masculine or feminine.
	But he's not intimidated by others and he's especially not intimidated by women.
	Men who seek to be approved by women are not masculine.
	It's the way it is.
	They seek to do what is right.
	But there's a vast number of men that seeks to be acceptable to women, like the men on the women's marches.
	And he has convictions that preclude his being a member of the herd.
	Those are masculine characteristics.
	One that is applicable to men and women is relief factor.
	The muscles tend to be similar in both sexes in regard to pain in any event.
	This is such a fine product that they have been enormously successful.
	The reason you hear so many ads for them, not just on my show, is because they're enormously successful.

	It certainly was different, wasn't it?
	Feisty?
	Entertaining, combative.
	The president came into the debate as if he were a boxer who had come in sweaty, steamed, ready to go, and that was the problem.
	I absolutely get why Donald Trump is so pedo.
	I mean, this is a man who ran for office, was ridiculed at first, Demeaned, mocked, he wins.
	25% of the Democrat delegation does not show up for his inaugural.
	Now, this isn't because of Russia-Trump collusion.
	It isn't because of the statements that he made in Charlottesville because he hadn't made them yet.
	The attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment, that's what prompted President Trump to put on his doctor to show people he wasn't insane.
	And then, of course, we had the two-and-a-half-year investigation of Russia-Trump collusion, all based upon mostly Sketchy, phony, thin stuff that they would not have used against somebody that they like.
	Oh, did I mention he was impeached?
	All of this happened in three and a half years.
	And the man is down just six points or so in the latest national poll.
	It's extraordinary what he's accomplished given the pressure he's been under.
	So this is why he was so angry.

	This is a truly important version, if you will, episode of the Male-Female Hour, second hour of my show each Wednesday.
	Our men have been for two generations been demasculinized, is the question.
	There's no doubt in my mind that it is correct.
	They have been.
	That is the aim of the feminized culture.
	Make men as indistinguishable from women as possible.
	Start at as young age as possible.
	You don't want blue and pink.
	You don't want a boys' toy section.
	We don't want boys playing with soldiers or with toy guns.
	We don't want them on monkey bars or just preoccupied with their safety.
	We hover over them.
	Starts at a very early age.
	Then they're models of Barack Obama.
	All right, let's see what we have to say here.
	Had a lot of good calls.
	It's a problem.
	Indeed it is.
	Terry in Amarillo, Texas.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	How are you doing?
	Okay, thank you.
	Well, when you started this today, my ears perked up because I was a preacher or a chaplain at the truck stop, a Christian chaplain for 10 years, but also I work in an advertising agency, so I pick up on marketing and things shifting.
	I could see when things were being sold, and for years I had preached that there was a feminization of the gospel going on in the Christian church and the way we presented the word anymore.
	And the way men were supposed to be spiritual leaders, that shifted in the way the message.
	You no longer could talk about judgment or sin or blood or anything like that.
	The lighting, everything changed in there.
	And if you go back and watch Preacher from 50 years ago to today, it's a totally different message and presentation.
	Boy, is that true.
	Well said.
	The feminization of religion is a big factor.
	That is right.
	Listen, I will give you an example, which not all of you, even who are religious, will agree with.
	But that's okay.
	I've said for a long time that the message, God is love, is inaccurate.
	Just inaccurate.
	God is love, but God is not only love.
	So why do we only mention love?
	How about God is justice?
	As I said, if I could put up billboards about God, I would speak about God's demands and God's justice.
	And if I had to put one verb, one word, God judges.
	You will get a much kinder world with God judges than God loves.
	God judges is masculine.
	God loves is feminine.
	Just for the record, The introduction of vast numbers of women into the clergy has simply speeded up this process.
	Not all, by any means, but many, which is totally understandable.
	They react to their own nature, and they bring it into the church or synagogue.
	And the often feminized rabbis, priests, and ministers go along with it.
	That's correct.
	Thank you, Terry in Amarillo.
	Ron, Anoka, Minnesota.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Hi.
	It's a great pleasure to talk with you.
	I tell you that I value your insight and your wisdom every day.
	Good.
	Thank you.
	So, I just wanted to call in quick.
	I really do think that there's an emasperation of men, and it's something that we speak about in my family, and I take my role as the man in the family.
	And like you said, that's not being mean.
	That's being strong.
	That's inviting the woman to come into something that you created.
	And, you know, climb a tree.
	Don't let your mom see.
	But, you know, my dad would always make sure that, you know, I've got four brothers.
	And he'd be like, all right, you know, go ahead.
	Just, you know, don't let your mom see that.
	You know, when it was something dangerous, you know?
	Right, exactly.
	And, you know, he was strong and silent.
	And, you know, being able to change your opinion is fine if somebody's got a better argument.
	But you need to be strength.
	You need to be, you know, you need to stand as an oak in your family and make sure that they feel protected and safe.
	and I think that is where I feel the masculinity is lost.
	I see a lot of men who don't know themselves or are lost in their identity, and I just don't get very spot on in that.
	You hit it on the nose.
	I mean, obviously, as I said, know yourself is a big part of it.
	The very notion of protect is gone.
	Your role is to be your wife's partner or your partner's partner.
	It's no wonder that the feminized governor of California, Gavin Newsom, Doesn't even refer to his wife as his wife.
	He refers to her as his partner.
	So it's a perfect example.
	The feminization of men is a very...
	is a civilization-threatening development.
	Because feminized men don't fight.
	For good things.
	They don't fight in general.
	And they don't fight for good stuff.
	The greatest generation, as it is called, was filled with masculine men.
	And that changed in the 60s.
	Alright.
	Police officer in...
	Okay, we'll go to him when we get back.
	A police officer in Arkansas.
	Yep.
	The coup de grace, as it were, is the concept of toxic masculinity, which means essentially all masculinity is toxic.
	We'll be back.
	This is Owen Strand for Townhall.com.
	If you're on a college campus today or have a child on campus, there's a solid chance you'll hear this.
	All white people are racist.
	You might hear this too.
	America is founded on white supremacy.
	These two sentences are not mere overheated emotion.
	They express an ideology called critical race theory, or CRT, which argues that race is a social construct made by white people.
	Just as race was once used to enslave and terrorize, so it is used today to keep America unequal, unfair, and hostile to minorities.
	The Trump administration just took symbolic and courageous action against CRT. It issued a memo to federal agencies calling for the end of the government's CRT racial sensitivity trainings, terming them divisive anti-American propaganda.
	Does America have real issues in its past?
	Yes.

	Sam, police officer in Mountain Home, Arkansas.
	Hi.
	Hello, Dennis.
	I'll just get right to it.
	I'm a police officer of 34 years, just working part-time now, retired some years ago.
	And I have a 15-year-old son, got started late, and I have taught him to defend himself.
	I taught him to fight the racial, to use compliance techniques to defend himself, and I've also taught him to defend the weak, the defenseless, women, girls.
	And he said, well, Dad, if I get into a fight at school because someone's attacking a girl, they will suspend me and send me to the anger management.
	I told them, I don't care.
	You'll be in trouble if you come home and you haven't defended the girl that is attacked or the handicapped person.
	You have to defend the weak.
	And so when you teach a young man those things, you also at the same time teach him when not to fight, when not to be aggressive.
	My son knows when to hold his cool, keep his powder dry.
	And when it's time to react, he's ready.
	And that's the truth of the matter.
	And the left has emasculated men and turned them into wimps.
	You can see it on YouTube.
	A police officer is getting attacked.
	A woman's being attacked.
	A defenseless person.
	And people stand by with their stupid phones out and film it while someone's victimized because they don't know how to act anymore.
	They don't know how to think.
	Truth is not a left-wing value, and it shows in our society.
	He's right.
	Hence, I kept quiet.
	That was a very good way to raise his child.
	Defend the weak.
	Yeah.
	I'd like to ask people, I'd like to ask the average Democrat, if you were being hurt by some criminal on a bus or in the street, And all you knew was you could choose a conservative man or a liberal man.
	Would you do a coin toss or would you choose one or the other?
	Would you choose an NRA member or an ACLU member?
	Would you choose Donald Trump or Joe Biden?

	You don't have to like Donald Trump.
	You just have to look and see what he's done to support him.
	He's done a great job.
	He has contained the Chinese.
	He has called them out.
	He has made the world aware of what the Chinese Communist Party is, of the million people they have in concentration camps.
	He is rebuilding our military.
	Billions more than President Obama had slated.

	with the reminder that his abilities only take him so far and that life is precious and that as God grants him each breath literally when you're talking about COVID you're talking about a respiratory issue as he grants him the next breath there is a gratitude that can be sewn into his heart for being able to do what he's what he's doing and I think if you took the Monster accomplishments of Trump.
	And you added to that genuine God-centered humility that life is precious and life is valuable and we have to be thankful for every day and every breath that we have.
	I think that makes him, as you said, more sympathetic in ways that I don't think anything else could.

	This is an enormous moment for our nation.
	I will say I've been kind of lifted up a little bit by seeing some of the president's fiercest political opponents.
	Wish him Godspeed and recovery from this.
	What's your perspective as somebody who knows the President, as somebody who's been with the President many times?
	What's the Charlie Kirk worldview on the news that the President and the First Lady have tested positive for COVID? Yeah, like everyone else, still processing it from kind of a macro perspective.
	I can tell you that the President is a terrific fighter.
	Look, he's going to take this very seriously.
	And this is not anything that any of us expected.
	People will politicize this.
	I saw a couple people very late last night when this news broke around 1 o'clock Eastern try to politicize it.
	But I think the rank and file are handling this fine from the Democrats and the left.
	But look, anyone who says they know what's going to happen is just guessing right now, Mike.
	And I just want to reinforce that.
	When I have a prediction, I will say it.
	I don't.
	There are about 500 different variables at play here of how this will impact the Supreme Court fight, how this will impact the presidential election, and how this will impact the inner workings of the White House.
	So at this point, I can take a good guess, but this is something that has so many different causes and effects beyond, I think, what a lot of us in the political prediction business can even try to chart.
	Some people are going on TV and they say, Well, this is going to help, and this is going to hurt.
	No one knows.
	That's just a blind guess.
	And people should just say that because when you start going on TV, I think it actually you have a responsibility to the audience.

	On the issue of taxes, which of course came up.
	The president also had many, many things to say.
	He's paid all sorts of other kinds of taxes.
	Sales taxes.
	Payroll taxes.
	Speaking of which, article in World Net Daily today about how the Bidens, Joe and Jill, set up an S corporation to avoid paying $500,000 in payroll taxes.
	Perfectly legitimate.
	John Edwards did the same thing.
	When he won some big judgment when he was a trial lawyer, he set up an S corporation to avoid paying, I think it was $100,000 to $500,000 in payroll taxes as well.
	Now, nothing wrong, nothing illegal.
	Anything, any more than everything Donald Trump has done was nothing wrong and nothing illegal.
	But this is the side that wants to raise taxes.
	This is the side that says rich people are undertaxed.
	And here you have an opportunity to contribute $500,000 to the Social Security system and the Medicaid system, and instead of doing that, you set up an S-Corporation to avoid it?
	I mean, that's a point to be brought up.
	My friends, I'm Dennis Prager.
	you And if you're listening to my show, I don't need an introduction.
	And here's the irony.
	If you're listening to the show, my guest doesn't need an introduction.
	He's in that rarefied realm of doesn't need an introduction.
	Dinesh D'Souza, the filmmaker, author, bon vivant.
	How's that?
	You never get that, Dinesh, I'll bet.
	I don't.
	Hey, how do you like it in Houston?
	You know, I love it.
	I thought I would miss the ocean in San Diego.
	But, you know, I looked around Houston when I got there, and I noticed a lot of Indians.
	And I was a little puzzled as to why the Indians, the Asian Indians, love Houston.
	And then I realized, because the weather, including the humidity, is exactly like India.
	Well, that's fascinating.
	You think that's an aspect.
	So that means that one gets used to humidity?
	I think it's the familiarity of it.
	You know, Houston has a lot of elements that seem like India.
	Now, of course, there's professional reasons for people to come.
	There's a lot of medicine and medical centers, and Indian doctors are drawn to Houston for those reasons.
	But I think there are other reasons, and there's also a lot of good Indian food that is now available around Houston.
	Then I'm moving.
	I want you to know, I've been to India four times.
	It is the only time, when I'm in India, I believe I could be a vegetarian.
	That is how delicious the food is.
	You know, I've long made that point, that the Indians take vegetables seriously.
	In many other cultures, the vegetables are just sort of thrown in, and the meat, it defines the entrees.
	But in India, the vegetables are really tasty, and that makes a difference.
	Makes all the difference in the world.
	Dinesh D'Souza has a new film out.
	It's called Trump Card.
	And it is up at salemnow.com.
	You could see it before the general distribution, salemnow.com.
	And the movie is Trump Card.
	And, of course, his movies are self-recommending.
	What's the thesis of Trump Card?
	Trump card is based on my book, The United States of Socialism.
	So a good bit of the movie examines the puzzle that you've got this crazy ideology, socialism, that's collapsed all over the world in the last century.
	In the few places it's tried now, like Cuba and Venezuela, it's a complete disaster.
	And yet this discredited ideology is back with a vengeance.
	It has woven its way into the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
	And we now have an election to decide if America will be Hold in the socialist direction.
	So how we got here, who's behind it, why it's so evil, and how we can stop it.
	Those are the major themes of the film.
	Again, it's called Trump Card, and it's at SalemNow.com.
	These movies are very important.
	A good movie that teaches and expounds on the values we stand for is particularly important.
	So, what's your take now?
	Let me go a little deeper on this issue.
	How do you explain the appeal of something that until even five years ago, it was called the S-word?
	In other words, if you called somebody a socialist, it was like calling them a dirty word.
	What's happened?
	I think what has happened is that the Democrats have found a very cunning way to turn ordinary people into thieves.
	And here's what I mean by that.
	If someone were to come to you, Dennis, and say, go over to your neighbor's house and help yourself to the food in his refrigerator.
	And then look around and look for nice things that he has, art on the walls and curios, and take them if you like them, bring them over to your house.
	You would say, no, I won't do that.
	I'm not a thief.
	And if I did do it, for whatever reason, I would feel terrible about myself.
	Nothing more than the most dire necessity would cause me to do that.
	Now, imagine if a socialist were to come along and say to you, Dennis, listen, you know all that stuff in your neighbor's house, it really belongs to you.
	True, he may not have stolen it from you, But maybe his ancestors stole it from your ancestors and some great racial piracy that goes back generations.
	So it's really your stuff.
	Now the good news is you don't even have to go over there and rob it because we, the state, will take it from him.
	We'll keep some of it for ourselves.
	We'll give the rest of it to you.
	So what's happening here, as you can see, is that socialism becomes an ideology for the annihilation of conscience.
	It's an ideology to legitimize Well, one minute.
	Forgive me, forgive me.
	That is a great line.
	You took my breath away.
	The annihilation of the conscience.
	I have to remember that.
	Yeah, it makes ordinary people feel okay about being part of our larceny scheme.
	That's correct.
	Well, it's funny.
	I wrote a piece.
	I write a column each week.
	A few weeks ago, I wrote...
	The left's moral compass is not broken, that that's an incorrect metaphor.
	The left doesn't have a moral compass.
	It doesn't distinguish good and bad.
	It distinguishes rich and poor, black and white.
	Its metrics are not moral.
	Now, this is a critical point, Dennis, because I think there's so much of the contrary assumption that in fact...
	I mean, to take an example that seems far-fetched but is closely related, look at all the conservatives who say, look at the double standard in the media.
	They want Trump's tax returns, but they will give Biden and Biden's family a pass.
	So when conservatives say this, they're appealing to a higher standard of impartiality or objectivity, but we don't realize that the people in the media that we're talking about Don't have such a standard.
	They don't care about impartiality.
	We're ascribing to them higher motives that they don't even possess, and that's why our argument falls flat, because we're trying to call them to something that they have no interest in being called to.
	That's exactly right.
	The movie, again, that Dinesh D'Souza has made is called Trump Card.
	You can see it at SalemNow.com, and it's before its release.
	Who did you make it with?
	You know, this was fantastic.
	We had to make the movie under COVID conditions, so I was nervous about it.
	But we made a really good movie, and a big one.
	I'm actually sorry it's not in the theater.
	And I wish that when, you know, people watch it, they can watch it on any device.
	But it's obviously the most cool if you can watch it on a big-screen TV, because it was made for that kind of largeness of viewership.
	It's a real movie with tremendous music.
	It's frightening at parts, but it's also inspiring and moving.
	So I'm very proud of it.
	It's a story that nails socialism, and it looks at the peculiar role of Trump, not just as the political leader of the fight against socialism, but also as the quintessential capitalist, which he has been for most of his career.
	So I'm going to ask you a question that's a variation on one I get all the time, because I'm a Jew, I'm always asked.
	Why are so many Jews on the left?
	So I'll ask you, why are so many Indian Americans on the left?
	Because the ordinary Indian American still sees himself as a guest in America.
	The ordinary Indian American does not feel that his family values are threatened.
	The ordinary Indian American wants to take his picture with Barack Obama and put that on the piano to be able to show his neighbors.
	That's the aspiration of the successful Indian professional or Indian doctor.
	And then the Indians who go to colleges in America, they want to assimilate, but they assimilate to the progressive culture of those universities.
	They think that's what it means to become more American.
	So it's very sad what's happening.
	The Indian Americans at some point will wake up, but they haven't woken up yet.
	That's a great answer.
	Assimilation means left.
	That's right.
	That's exactly right.
	And the first part was also interesting.
	But I don't see the connection.
	The average Indian American still feels as if he is sort of a stranger or a guest.
	So he is more at home on the left?
	Is that what you're saying?
	No, no.
	What I'm saying is that the Indian American is still living in an insulated culture in America.
	So for example, the ordinary Indian family, the parents don't feel that their kids are going to end up pregnant or on drugs.
	They feel that they still have that kind of Indian level of control over them and therefore the cultural debris of our society doesn't affect them quite so much.
	That's the point I'm trying to make.
	They don't see how bad it can be and what the Democrats will do to the Indian community and Indian culture and Indian values because it hasn't penetrated through yet.
	So are there conservative, I mean Candace Owens, Larry Elder are conservative black voices.
	I'm a conservative Jewish voice.
	Ben Shapiro is.
	Are there conservative, in other words, are you regarded as Dinesh D'Souza or as a conservative Indian American?
	No, the Indian Americans just look at me as sort of the local boy made good.
	I don't speak for the Indian community.
	The Indians...
	But I also don't get attacked.
	I mean, I notice that, for example, black Americans have been bitterly attacked as Uncle Tom's.
	The Indian community will not do that to me because, again, they see themselves as newcomers in this country and if an Indian American, you know, makes it to the NBA or an Indian American invents something or an Indian American is on TV, they're excited for that alone.
	I totally get it.
	The movie is Trump Card, up at SalemNow.com.
	Might as well order it now during the break.
	break we'll be back with Dinesh D'Souza trending now on the Hugh Hewitt show kind of a shock to people to wake up and find out the president and the first lady have tested positive them.
	It sent markets into kind of a tizzy, which they always overreact.
	But the President has the best medical care in the world.
	His national security advisor has had it and recovered.
	He will be in quarantine.
	He can run the presidency.
	There's no 25th Amendment.
	It is, for most people, a mild disease, and we pray that it is for him and for Hope Hicks and for the First Lady and everyone in the White House who has it.
	I'm so shocked by the reaction online that I pray for the country as well that they get over this fever.
	You don't have to like Donald Trump.
	You just have to look and see what he's done to support him.
	He's done a great job.
	He has contained the Chinese.
	He has called them out.
	He has made the world aware of what the Chinese Communist Party is, of the million people they have in concentration camps.
	He is rebuilding our military.
	Billions more than President Obama had slated.
	The judges he has appointed, his third justice, Amy Coney Barrett, they're all great constitutionalists, originalists.
	They love freedom.
	He's deregulated the economy.
	He's gotten these bureaucrats out of your life, left, right, and center.
	We need to rebuke the elites in this country who write things on Twitter, and maybe you're not a Twitter person, because Twitter's a different world.
	It's blue-check Twitter is, you know, basically where the Manhattan, D.C., Hollywood, and Silicon Valley elites live, and they talk to each other about People in flyover country with utter disdain and contempt.

	So this is tremendously serious, which brings up the question how this will play with regard to this election.
	Does it give him sympathy?
	I think...
	It does.
	In other words, I think that it humanizes him precisely in the way that his debate performance didn't humanize him.
	In other words, that was him at his worst, what people who don't like him or who don't know what they think of him, that didn't help him.

	Hi everyone, Dennis Prager here.
	I'm very open.
	So, Dinesh, forgive me for one moment.
	I'm very, very open with my listeners.
	Part of the reason I think my show has lasted 35 years.
	People do know me.
	So, I will tell you all, and you'll find this of interest, Dinesh, because it relates to our conversation.
	I tell intimates, as well as on occasion, I've said this publicly, I happen not to get off on fame.
	It does not.
	Touch me one way or another.
	But I do love the perks of my work.
	And one of those perks is I get to speak to anybody I want.
	Very few people get that in life.
	So when I have this extended conversation with you, I gotta tell you, it is just a great perk.
	I love your mind.
	I love the way you think.
	And the clarity with which you express it.
	And by the way, all of that is available in this new film, which is Trump Card, up at SalemNow.com.
	So, in light of my joy with your brain and your thoughts, how do you explain the freest country in human history embracing the opposite of freedom?
	Well, first of all, Dennis, thank you for those kind words.
	They're some of the nicest things I've heard, and coming from you, it means an awful lot.
	Now, wow.
	I don't forget that first experience of America, because I grew up under Indian socialism, and we had a ration card limiting how much my mother could buy in rice and cooking oil and sugar.
	So I identify socialism with misery and scarcity and India being the begging bowl of the world.
	And so, on the first glance, it seems inconceivable that America would want that.
	And I try to say to myself, why would we push in that direction?
	And I think the answer to it is that it's not that the left is trying to go there.
	What the left is trying to do...
	Is create a society in which they are in the saddle, in the driver's seat, if you will.
	That's their goal.
	If they could do that some other way than socialism, they might be tempted by that.
	But they see socialism as a mechanism to put the intellectual class, the planners, the progressives, into the driver's seat of society.
	Now, how do they achieve that goal?
	Well, to achieve that goal, they need a class of dependents.
	So it's not that they admire laziness per se, but they noticed that under coronavirus, a lot of people have been sitting on their couch.
	And so they say to themselves, wait a minute, what if we keep those people sitting on their couch forever?
	What if we find a way where we can give them $1,000 or $2,000 a month?
	And then they're going to be tempted to want to keep sitting there instead of getting up and shaving and going into work and answering to a boss and punching in a time clock.
	So essentially what the Democrats are doing is Their power scheme relies on appealing to the worst aspects of human nature.
	So because we humans have this dual aspect in which we have an aspiration to be better, to be self-reliant, to perfection, but on the other hand we have the temptation to sloth and laziness and depravity, there's always going to be a political party that can appeal to that low side of human nature to make political capital for itself.
	That's, I think, how we move.
	On the road toward socialism.
	So, I agree with every word you said, and I offer this response to my own question, and I'd like you to react.
	That liberty is not an instinct.
	Liberty is a value.
	And, you know, breathing is an instinct.
	Sex is an instinct.
	So, nobody has to advocate sex or advocate breathing.
	Or eating.
	But liberty has to be advocated.
	That's why it's the motto, one of the three, E Pluribus Unum, and God we trust liberty, of the country.
	And the founders understood that.
	Give me liberty or give me death.
	Nobody said give me breathing, give me food, or give me sex, or give me death, because it wasn't taken away.
	But liberty is not instinctive.
	Do you have a reaction to that?
	Yes, I do.
	I've been impressed by the great power that the left has shown in indoctrination, because I always thought that even if liberty is not somehow natural, it is nevertheless imbued in the American breast as a result of culture and history.
	I mean, this is a country built by settlers and pioneers and people who took risks.
	And if you're a foreigner who grows up in a different culture, you can see this kind of Yankee spirit in America.
	What's happened, I think, is that over the last two generations, the left has tried to intellectually and even morally root it out, particularly of young people, by telling them that this settler spirit is a conquering spirit and it's a mean spirit and it's a racist spirit and it's an imperialist spirit.
	So they've essentially turned a virtue into a vice and they have made people who are strong in their convictions feel timid and uncertain.
	Because their elders, their professors, have been telling them that this instinct that they thought was good is in fact very, very bad and has harmed all these other people.
	So I credit the sort of liberal indoctrination project with sort of breaking the confidence in the belief in liberty, particularly among young people.
	It's been successful.
	What's at stake in this election?
	I think what's at stake isn't merely economic confiscation.
	When Marx talked about socialism, he reduced it to money.
	He thought everything was driven by the economic basis of society.
	But it's very clear that the left wants not just to control our money, but they want to control our values and our culture.
	They want to force us to live in their world, and they want us to be sort of worms.
	At their beck and call.
	That's why they're trying to control all the institutions and make us miserable if we don't conform to them.
	So I think, to me, the big question going forward is, are we going to submit to that?
	And if not, isn't it a fact that we have to make our own institutions?
	And I mean quite seriously, we have to create our own educational institutions, our own entertainment, our own comedians, our own movies, so that we don't have to live in their own culture because we have our own.
	That's exactly right.
	I have been begging people to take their kids out of schools, and not just public schools, but most private schools as well, and homeschool them or send them to one of the few religious or even some secular schools that actually seek to teach what has happened.
	In other words, truth.
	I'm totally with you.
	A different culture.
	We say things right now, Dennis, you and I do also, like the American flag and the national anthem, but we don't have an American flag or a national anthem anymore.
	It's our anthem, but it's not their anthem.
	They don't want to sing it, and we can't make them.
	It's our flag.
	It's not their flag.
	They don't believe in it.
	They don't believe in what it stands for, and they're happy to burn it.
	So I think facing up to the implications of this simple reality is going to be something that we'll have to think about even past the election and even beyond Trump.
	Terrific.
	I mean, sad, but terrific.
	Okay, folks.
	You'll want to see it, obviously.

	But think about this.
	The president's prognosis will probably be the most watched medical recovery in history.
	We've never had an officeholder running for re-election, basically against a virus that he's running against politically, now having to fight it physically.
	I think there's going to be a lot of observations about that.
	And again, I think this kind of casts Some sort of pale or shadow.
	I'm not sure exactly what it does.
	The thing about this president is it doesn't really matter how big the story is.
	I mean, think about this.
	Nobody's talking about Ruth Bader Ginsburg anymore, and they haven't for days.
	And she only passed away, you know, however long ago.
	These things in this cycle don't seem to last very long.
	So if he gets...
	A good head of steam behind him gets recovering.
	He gets on the hydroxy.
	He's feeling better in five days.
	They say, yeah, you're going to finish the quarantine, but you can go back to a regular schedule inside the White House.
	That's going to be enormous news.
	And then, you know, who knows?
	Maybe he'll be on full blast presidency and just solving problems like we can't keep track of.
	We don't know what's going to happen there.
	But if he comes back from this with any kind of degree of stamina and health.
	I think that's going to be the determination on the election.
	I think the way the president handles the coronavirus physically in his body, I think will, to some degree, determine the outcome of what happens on November 3rd.
	You can't make this stuff up.
	2020 has been the weirdest year, at least in the modern era of human history.
	The only thing that could top this would be, since it's 2020, this could happen, that the president beats this and announces to the world that He was injecting bleach every day, and that's what got him through.
	Which we are not advocating on the Eric Metaxe Show.

	And while we're talking about civil rights, what about Joe Biden's decades-long record of lying about his civil rights record?
	He said when he was a teenager, he went to black churches, and he strategized on how he was going to organize sit-ins and protests to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware.
	The New York Times looked at this, said there was no evidence he'd done any of this, and that his aides had to, quote, gently remind them, close quote, their words, not mine.
	Gently remind him to stop saying it, but he kept saying it anyway.
	And recently, he said falsely.
	The NAACP has endorsed him in every single one of his elections.
	The NAACP promptly put out a statement and said, we are a 501c3.
	We don't endorse anybody.
	We've never endorsed Joe Biden.
	Joe Biden lied and said that he was arrested along with Andy Young trying to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was in prison in South Africa.
	Andy Young said, I wasn't arrested.
	Joe Biden wasn't arrested either.
	Furthermore, he said he was arrested.
	On Soweto, Soweto is 900 miles away from where Nelson Mandela was, so how you get arrested 900 miles away from where you said that you got arrested is beyond me.
	And Joe Biden lied and said when he was vice president, Nelson Mandela came to him at the White House and thanked him for attempting to visit him when he was in prison.
	No evidence, any of this happened.
	He says these things over and over and over again.
	again, as he said, you ain't really black.
	If you don't know whether or not you want to support Trump or me, you ain't really black.

	The point Dinesh D'Souza made at the end just almost gave me the chills.
	I want to amplify on it because I so resonate to it.
	We share nothing with the left.
	Those of us who believe in the American values of God we trust, e pluribus unum, and liberty.
	We share nothing with the left.
	Okay?
	People don't like reality, so they make up things like, oh, we, you know, we share more than we differ on.
	That's absurd.
	It means you don't understand the left.
	That's the only possible way you could say that.
	Or it's a deceptive line to get people not to fight.
	I share nothing with leftists.
	Is that clear?
	I share a lot with liberals.
	I share nothing with leftists.
	I believe America is the last best hope of mankind.
	I believe in racial integration.
	I believe in objectivity.
	I am against affirmative action based on anything other than what you have done that is good.
	I still want blind tests for orchestras.
	I believe that men and women are distinctly different.
	I do not believe that biological men should be allowed to compete against biological women and win all the races against them, as in Connecticut.
	Where 26 of 27 records, I believe it is, are held by biological men who identify as women and who are allowed to compete with biological women, thereby precluding them from winning the races.
	You name the subject, I differ with the left.
	We have nothing in common.
	They hate what I love, and I hate what they love.
	Okay?
	So, there you go.
	It's clear as a bell.
	So, in light of that, Dinesh D'Souza is right.
	We just have to create our own loving, wonderful, open, tolerant culture against their hate-filled intolerance.
	A place where liberty is still valued.
	And he was right.
	They don't want to sing the national anthem.
	They couldn't have made it more clear.
	Because, as he said, it's not their national anthem.
	I remember, what was it?
	Even this land is your land wasn't acceptable because that was a justification of taking away land from the indigenous Americans.
	Native Americans, indigenous people, Indians.
	What was it?
	They had a different song that they wanted.
	Well, it wasn't John Lennon's imagined, although some suggested that.
	But there was yet another song, let alone God Bless America, that has two things that they're alienated from, God and America.
	No, I'm not talking about the black national anthem.
	That is correct.
	Our own schools.
	Our own lives.
	See, we want to be left alone.
	Leave us alone is a very big factor in conservatism.
	Allow me to fail.
	Allow me to succeed.
	I want to be the captain of my own boat.
	I do not want the government to be the captain.
	I don't want to sail on the government's ship.
	I want to sail on my own even if it drowns, even if it sinks.
	That's the conservative view.
	In light of the last hour, that's the masculine view.
	I want to help others, but I don't want to take your help.
	And I don't want to be told by you where I can dine.
	Safety is the excuse for leftist totalitarianism.
	The moron who governs California has now said you should put your mask on in between bites.
	In other words, even where you're allowed to have a mask off is in a restaurant.
	You should do that.
	Let's say, what is it, the estimate, you have 40 bites?
	Probably more than that, I heard 40. In a meal?
	I assume, let's say 40, who cares?
	That means 40 times you touch your mask.
	The whole point is not to touch your mask.
	Unless you wash your hands before each touching.
	Anyway, the whole point is, Sweden said from the beginning, The only way to conquer this stuff is through herd immunity.
	Sweden turns out to be right.
	1-8 Prager 776 877-243-7776 Relief Factor is run by Pete and Seth Talbot, father-son owners.
	They sell the three-week quick start for just $19.95 to anyone struggling from pain.
	Neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee.
	$19.95.
	And the thing is that they tell you you'll know within three weeks if it works.
	So you've gambled $19.95 plus shipping.
	But what if it does work, which it does in the majority of cases?
	Then, whatever the price, it's sort of a bargain.
	Give it a try.
	try, go to relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	But think about this.
	The president's prognosis will probably be the most watched medical recovery in history.
	We've never had an officeholder running for reelection, basically against the virus that he's running against politically, now having to fight it physically.
	I think there's going to be a lot of observations about that.
	And again, I think this kind of casts Some sort of pale or shadow.
	I'm not sure exactly what it does.
	The thing about this president is it doesn't really matter how big the story is.
	I mean, think about this.
	Nobody's talking about Ruth Bader Ginsburg anymore, and they haven't for days.
	And she only passed away, you know, however long ago.
	These things in this cycle don't seem to last very long.
	So if he gets...
	A good head of steam behind him gets recovering.
	He gets on the hydroxy.
	He's feeling better in five days.
	They say, yeah, you're going to finish the quarantine, but you can go back to a regular schedule inside the White House.
	That's going to be enormous news.
	And then, you know, who knows?
	Maybe he'll be on full blast presidency and just solving problems like we can't keep track of.
	We don't know what's going to happen there.
	But if he comes back from this with any kind of degree of stamina and health...
	I think that's going to be the determination on the election.
	I think the way the president handles the coronavirus physically in his body, I think will, to some degree, determine the outcome of what happens on November 3rd.
	You can't make this stuff up.
	2020 has been the weirdest year, at least in the modern era of human history.
	The only thing that could top this would be, since it's 2020, this could happen, that the president beats this and announces to the world that...
	He was injecting bleach every day, and that's what got him through.
	Which we are not advocating on the Eric Metaxe Show.
	There's no...

	And while we're talking about civil rights, what about Joe Biden's decades-long record of lying about his civil rights record?
	He said when he was a teenager, he went to black churches, and he strategized on how he was going to organize sit-ins and protests to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware.
	The New York Times looked at this, said there was no evidence he'd done any of this, and that his aides had to, quote, gently remind them, close quote, their words, not mine.
	Gently remind him to stop saying it, but he kept saying it anyway.
	And recently, he said falsely, the NAACP has endorsed him in every single one of his elections.
	The NAACP promptly put out a statement and said, we are a 501c3.
	We don't endorse anybody.
	We've never endorsed Joe Biden.
	Joe Biden lied and said that he was arrested along with Andy Young trying to visit.
	Thank you.
	So we have two major, I mean really big statements by a large number of scientists against the lockdowns.
	They get no attention in the press.
	I'm going to tweet them out.
	I will see if Twitter suppresses my tweet.
	So you understand the pure lie of Twitter, the pure lie of the left, that they follow science.
	They don't.
	You can bring a thousand scientists, but if they say something the left differs with, it's not science.
	Science is what the left says science is.
	It is not science.
	Everything is what the left says.
	Racism is what the left says racism is.
	It is racist to say there is only one race, the human race.
	Get it?
	There is no such thing as racism.
	It is only what the left says it is.
	There is no such thing as science.
	It is only what the left says it is.
	That's the way it works.
	All is defined by the left.
	There is no reality.
	And they believe it.
	That's why they're so dangerous.
	They are true believers.
	You should read The True Believer.
	You could read it in an evening.
	It's a very short book.
	Eric Hoffer wrote this.
	Eric Hoffer is a fascinating character.
	Eric Hoffer wrote it, I think, in the 50s about fanaticism.
	It's about the left today.
	And it is a book written by a philosopher who was a longshoreman.
	He worked at the docks.
	He was a blue-collar worker who was a philosopher.
	The true believer is frightening because they believe their fanaticism.
	See, Biden believes in nothing.
	I mean, he's dangerous because he could be president.
	But he's in nothing.
	But there are a lot of people on the left.
	Bernie Sanders believes everything he says.
	That's the difference.
	Biden says everything that he thinks the voters will believe.
	On his latest calls, oh, I will be the president of all Americans.
	I picked Kamala Harris, the most radical member of the U.S. Senate, as my running mate.
	And I will be president of all Americans.
	I mean, he does believe, and he may be right, that a lot of Americans are stupid.
	The most left-wing Democratic Party in the history of the country, and he's going to be the president of all Americans?
	What the hell does that mean?
	Are we going to all convert to leftism?
	Anyway, there's a...
	One put up.
	It's called the Great Barrington Declaration.
	From October 1st to 4th, 2020, the American Institute for Economic Research hosted a meeting of top epidemiologists, economists, and journalists to discuss the global emergency created by the unprecedented use of state compulsion in the management of COVID-19 pandemic.
	The result is the Great Barrington Declaration.
	Which urges a focused protection strategy.
	The declaration concludes schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching.
	Extracurricular activities such as sports should be resumed.
	Young, low-risk adults should work normally rather than from home.
	Restaurants and other businesses should open.
	Arts, music, sport, and other cultural activities should resume.
	The primary authors, Dr. Milton Kulldorf.
	Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School.
	Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Professor of Medicine, Stanford University.
	Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology, University of Oxford.
	Co-signers.
	And then the list is too long of all these professors and PhDs in the medical arena and related.
	And then there's the Belgian one.
	That was just released, 600 doctors and medical workers saying how we have to stop the lockdowns.
	And by the way, if you read down the lockdowns, if we compare the waves of infection in countries, I just had it, yes.
	If we compare the waves of infection in countries with strict lockdown policies to countries that did not impose lockdowns, Sweden, Iceland, We see similar curves.
	There is no link between the imposed lockdown and the course of the infection.
	Lockdown has not led to a lower mortality rate.
	By the way, the biggest lockdown in the Western Hemisphere is Peru, highest death rate.
	I'm adding that.
	They didn't note that.
	If you really look down, it's a long statement, and I'm putting it up.
	It's already up.
	And here is something.
	There is an affordable, all the way down.
	There is an affordable, safe, and efficient therapy available for those who show severe symptoms of disease.
	And it is hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin.
	Rapidly applied, this therapy leads to recovery and often prevents hospitalization.
	Hardly anyone has to die now.
	That's why I charge all the doctors against hydroxychloroquine with homicide.
	You are directly responsible for some people's deaths.
	And all you journalists and all you despicable leftists are part of the bloodshed.
	Because you have no idea how good hydroxychloroquine and zinc is, but you know one thing, because you are moral midgets.
	The president recommended it, so you must oppose it.
	You don't give a damn about the death that ensues because of your hatred of the president.
	For you, moral is hatred of Trump.
	Trump that ends all moral thought.
	This is an enormous moment for our nation.
	I will say I've been kind of lifted up a little bit by seeing some of the president's fiercest political opponents wish him Godspeed and recovery from this.
	What's your perspective as somebody who knows the president, as somebody who's been with the president many times?
	What's the Charlie Kirk worldview on the news that the President and the First Lady have tested positive for COVID? Yeah, like everyone else, still processing it from kind of a macro perspective.
	I can tell you that the President is a terrific fighter.
	And look, he's going to take this very seriously.
	And this is not anything that any of us expected.
	People will politicize this.
	I saw a couple people very late last night when this news broke around 1 o'clock Eastern.
	I'll try to politicize it, but I think the rank and file are handling this fine from the Democrats and the left.
	But look, anyone who says they know what's going to happen is just guessing right now, Mike.
	And I just want to reinforce that.
	When I have a prediction, I will say it.
	I don't.
	There are about 500 different variables at play here of how this will impact the Supreme Court fight, how this will impact the presidential election, and how this will impact the inner workings of the White House.
	At this point, I can take a good guess, but this is something that has so many different causes and effects beyond, I think, what a lot of us in kind of the political prediction business can even try to chart.
	And, you know, some people are going on TV and they say, well, this is going to help and this is going to hurt.
	No one knows.
	That's just a blind guess.
	And people should just say that because when you start going on TV doing that, I think it actually, you have a responsibility to the audience.

	I'm so mad.
	On the issue of taxes, which of course came up, the President also had many, many things to say.
	He's paid all sorts of other kinds of taxes.
	Sales taxes, payroll taxes.
	Speaking of which, article in World Net Daily today about how the Bidens, Joe and Jill, set up an S corporation to avoid paying $500,000 in payroll taxes.
	Perfectly legitimate.
	John Edwards did the same thing.
	When he won some big judgment when he was a trial lawyer, he set up an S corporation to avoid paying, I think it was $100,000 to $500,000 in payroll taxes as well.
	Nothing wrong, nothing illegal.
	Anything, any more than everything Donald Trump has done was nothing wrong and nothing illegal.
	But this is the side that wants to raise taxes.
	This is the side that says rich people are undertaxed.
	And here you have an opportunity to contribute $500,000.
	Hi, everybody. everybody.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Another country with a now 200 days of lockdown, closed border, Argentina.
	Cases keep climbing.
	Follow the science is one of the biggest lies of the left, and the competition for biggest lie of the left is intense.
	Heidi, Minneapolis.
	Hello.
	Oh, hi, Dennis.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Say, after listening to Dinesh D'Souza, he really kind of freaked me out in a way because it's kind of what I've been thinking all along.
	But how does or does America survive as a whole when leftists and conservatives have such different visions of how they want things to run?
	And if we can't agree, are we going into a civil war?
	We have been in a civil war for about 20 years, as I've written for 20 years.
	The question is, as you're asking, I assume, is will it be violent?
	Yes.
	If Donald Trump wins the election, there will be massive violence in all the urban areas of the country, and he will put it down, and there will be bloodshed.
	If he doesn't win, Then they will simply impose their will on people, and if they come for their guns, they will be bloodshed in that regard.
	People will not give up their guns.
	So I have a dark view of what the left is doing to the country, but it's not shocking.
	It's dark, but it's not shocking.
	The left has ruined every country it has gained power in, and every institution it has gained power in.
	So it is unfortunately this generation's turn to fight for America, fight for the West.
	They have contempt for America and the West.
	They acknowledge it.
	Hey, hey, ho, ho!
	Western Civ has got to go!
	A chant led by Jesse Jackson.
	Way back in the 20th century, I think it was the 90s or 80s at Stanford University, people didn't take them seriously.
	I did.
	They have contempt for Western civilization.
	You know why?
	Because it worked out to be the best that there is.
	That's why.
	That's why, read my columns.
	I really wish you would.
	Read all of my columns each week.
	A few weeks ago, I wrote, Anti-Americanism is the New Anti-Semitism.
	Having written a book on anti-Semitism, taught Jewish history at Brooklyn College, and somewhat of a scholar of the issue, I can tell you that the hatred of America and the hatred of Jews has a lot of similarities.
	A lot.
