	Thank you.
	to the Dennis Prager Show.
	you Riots in Philadelphia.
	And the reason?
	A black man was shot to death by two policemen.
	You can see the video.
	He was brandishing a knife and kept moving toward them.
	And they kept screaming at him, drop the knife, drop the knife.
	He kept moving toward them.
	I would have, in an ideal world, I would have preferred something to simply debilitate him, a taser or some sort of gas or whatever is used.
	However, to the best of my knowledge, that has been banned.
	The use of tear gas, for example, has been banned.
	So the irony is the fools that ban these things leave the police no choice but to defend themselves with a gun.
	In any event, there isn't a reason on earth to assume that there was a racist motive involved in the shooting.
	Also, Philadelphia has cut tens of millions of dollars from its police budget.
	So the usual looting and setting vehicles on fire took place.
	This is never denounced, or almost never.
	I want to be very precise.
	Certainly for months it was never denounced by leading Democrats or by the New York Times, Washington Post, to the best of my knowledge, and I follow this avidly.
	I don't think it troubles them, actually.
	That's the current state of things, and I believe that many of you are as troubled as I am about the ability of mobs to do massive harm, and nothing happened.
	Nothing happens.
	This is a new America.
	If you were asked, make America great again, what does that mean?
	Well, one of the things it means is that if you steal, if you break into stores, if you set police cars on fire, and do similarly violent acts, you are arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned.
	That's a better America.
	A country that allows thugs in the name of whatever they claim.
	Thugs to steal, burn, loot.
	Steal and loot are synonymous, so steal and burn.
	Will not survive as a society.
	There are a lot of bad people in this world.
	The amount of bad done in the last 100 years in the name of high ideals is greater than the amount of bad done in this world in the name of bad ideals.
	I think you ought to be aware of that.
	That's why I take actions as far more serious than rhetoric.
	New York Times has an article on why, if you are a leftist, you should vote for Joe Biden.
	One of the rare times I agree with a New York Times article.
	The naive liberals who will vote because Joe Biden...
	No, Joe Biden's not a leftist.
	He's a liberal.
	He's a moderate.
	It is painful to me that adults can fool themselves to that extent.
	So what?
	Joe Biden is not anything.
	Joe Biden...
	Is what his environment demands that he be.
	That is all he is.
	His aim in life has been to further his money and further his career.
	To the best of my knowledge, he does not have any other ideals.
	And you people talk character about the president?
	Do we have any of the dialogue that just took place today, Mr. McConnell?
	Oh, it's still going on?
	John, who's speaking now?
	Who's being questioned right now?
	So the heads of Facebook, Google, and Twitter are in the Senate now.
	And who's questioning them?
	All right, so give me the interplay with Ted Cruz.
	This is really important.
	Thank you, Senator Blumenthal.
	Senator Cruz.
	Chairman, I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing.
	The three witnesses we have before this committee today collectively pose, I believe, the single greatest threat to free speech in America and the greatest threat we have to free and fair elections.
	That's right.
	Yesterday I spent a considerable amount of time speaking with both Mr. Zuckerberg and Mr. Pichai.
	I have concerns about the behavior of both of their companies.
	I would note that Facebook is at the minimum at least trying to make some efforts in the direction of defending free speech.
	I appreciate their doing so.
	Google, I agree with the concerns that Senator Klobuchar raised.
	I think Google has more power than any company on the face of the planet.
	And the antitrust concerns are real.
	The impact of Google is profound.
	And I expect we will have continued and ongoing discussions about Google's abuse of that power and its willingness to manipulate search outcomes to influence and change election results.
	But today, I want to focus my questioning on Mr. Dorsey and on Twitter.
	Because of the three players before us, I think Twitter's conduct has by far been the most egregious.
	Mr. Dorsey, does Twitter have the ability to influence elections?
	No.
	You don't believe Twitter has any ability to influence elections?
	No, we are one part of a spectrum of communication channels that people have.
	So you're testified to this committee right now that Twitter, when it silences people, when it censors people, when it blocks political speech, that has no impact on elections?
	People have choice of other communication channels with which...
	Not if they don't hear information.
	If you don't think you have the power to influence elections, why do you block anything?
	Well, we have policies that are focused on making sure that more voices on the platform are possible.
	We see a lot of abuse and harassment, which ends up silencing people and having them leave from the platform.
	All right, Mr. Dorsey, I find your opening questions, your opening answers, absurd on their face.
	Let's talk about the last two weeks in particular.
	As you know, I have long been concerned about Twitter's pattern of censoring and silencing individual Americans with whom Twitter disagrees.
	But two weeks ago, Twitter, and to a lesser extent Facebook, Two weeks ago, Twitter made the unilateral decision to censor the New York Post in a series of two blockbuster articles, both alleging evidence of corruption against Joe Biden.
	The first concerning Ukraine, the second concerning communist China.
	And Twitter made the decision, number one, to prevent users, any user, from sharing those stories.
	And number two, you went even further, And blocked the New York Post from sharing on Twitter its own reporting.
	Why did Twitter make the decision to censor the New York Post?
	We had a hack materials policy.
	When was that policy adopted?
	In 2018, I believe.
	In 2018. Go ahead.
	What was the policy?
	So the policy is around limiting the spread of materials that are hacked.
	We didn't want Twitter to be a distributor for hack materials.
	We found that the New York Post, because it showed the direct materials, screenshots of the direct materials, and it was unclear how those were obtained, that it felt under this policy.
	So in your view, if it's unclear the source of a document, in this instance, the New York Post documented what it said the source was, which it said it was a laptop owned by Hunter Biden that had been turned into a repair store.
	So they weren't hiding what they claimed to be the source.
	Is it your position that Twitter, when you can't tell the source, blocks press stories?
	No, not at all.
	Our team made a fast decision.
	The enforcement action, however...
	This guy is a piece of work, this Jack Dorsey.
	I'll tell you that America produces such people is disconcerting.
	We'll be back.
	The sleeper moment in this debate came at the end when Joe Biden announced the shutting down of America's oil industry.
	And I believe that's going to be the soundbite that's gonna travel.
	As I said before the debate, he had to talk to Pennsylvania and the president did.
	He talked to Pennsylvania repeatedly about fracking.
	And we're gonna see some fact checks on the vice president's record on fracking.
	But the oil industry, the return to the Paris Accords.
	That was an unforced error by Joe Biden that I think will resonate with a lot of middle Americans as being extreme.
	I also think the president was very effective when he spoke directly to the black community.
	By the way, our colleague Kristen Welker did very well tonight in maintaining pace and questions.
	I kind of feel vindicated when I told Mark Meadows yesterday she would do just that.
	She ran a marvelous ship, and it's a very difficult thing to do.
	And I do believe, though, he made some ground with the African American community and that Joe Biden got- Tripped up by Kristen on the prime bill, on the super predator stuff.
	You have to go check what everyone else is saying and everyone else is saying Donald Trump won.
	He wasn't going away because a debate, like a football game, goes until the whistle blows at the end.
	And when the whistle blew at the end, Joe Biden had wilted.
	And America is going to, there's a lot of messages within the debate, but the old Uber message is at the end that Joe Biden was fading after four days of rest.
	95 minutes, it went a little bit long.
	And he was fading.
	Look, let's get to my favorite quote of the night, cut number 14. I will transition from the oil industry, yes.
	I will transition from the oil industry, yes.
	I thought, bingo, that's on my card, you're done.
	But there's a lot of other good stuff.

	Trending now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	So Joe Biden was starting to run out of steam for 45 minutes, an hour, hour 15 into the debate, you could start to see Joe Biden looking at his watch.
	He called Donald Trump Abraham Lincoln.
	He said the poor boys instead of the proud boys.
	And it was becoming more clear that Joe Biden was metaphorically overheating.
	President Donald Trump saw an opportunity.
	And Kristen Welker, the moderator, decided to have climate change be the final topic of the debate.
	Now, why they frame climate change as an existential threat, which it isn't, to our country and to our planet as a primary concern is basically just pandering to the wish list of the most powerful elites That have their whole life so neatly organized financially,
	they're looking for another thing to try and spend time and try to make themselves feel valuable in life.
	Climate change is not a pressing issue for families that can't pay the mortgage and cannot get jobs, cannot send their kids to school.
	And we're happy to build out the entire issue of climate change, environmentalism, and environmentalism has become a religion of the left.
	But since they decided to have that topic last, Joe Biden was the least alert, the least prepared to interface on this topic.
	And so this topic started around whether or not climate change was an existential threat.
	President Donald Trump, I thought, handled it perfectly.
	Lowest carbon emissions in 30 years.
	One trillion trees planted.
	He went through the whole list.

	I'm playing for you the interchange between Senator Cruz, to his great credit, and this man who...
	My father had a saying for these people, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
	I haven't heard that saying in a long time.
	That's what this Jack Dorsey sounds like.
	There's a cynical coldness to this man.
	Who governs Twitter?
	That is very scary.
	The lie he began with?
	Twitter cannot influence an election?
	I give Senator Cruz credit for continuing to ask questions.
	Yes.
	Once you deny that the Earth is round, it's very difficult to ask questions about astronomy.
	Or geology.
	I mean, you heard that, folks.
	I mean, would you ask me, far smaller than Twitter, does my show or my network have the ability to influence the election?
	Of course it does.
	But Twitter doesn't?
	I wish the question had been asked to the head of Google and the head of Facebook.
	I'd be curious if all three would lie.
	We continue now with the Ted Cruz head of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, questioning.
	The enforcement action, however, of blocking URLs, both in tweets and in DM, in direct messages, we believe was incorrect.
	And we changed it.
	Today, right now, the New York Post is still blocked from tweeting two weeks later.
	Yes, they have to log into their account, which they can do at this minute, delete the original tweet, which fell under our original enforcement actions, and they can tweet the exact same material and the exact same article, and it would go through.
	So, Mr. Dorsey, your ability is you have the power to force a media outlet.
	Let's be clear.
	The New York Post isn't just some random guy tweeting.
	The New York Post has the fourth highest circulation of any newspaper in America.
	The New York Post is over 200 years old.
	The New York Post was founded by Alexander Hamilton.
	And your position is that you can sit in Silicon Valley and demand of the media that you can tell them what stories they can publish and you can tell the American people what reporting they can hear.
	Is that right?
	No, it's not.
	This was, you know, every person, every account.
	Every organization that signs up to Twitter agrees to a terms of service.
	So media outlets must genuflect and obey your dictates if they wish to be able to communicate with readers.
	Is that right?
	No, not at all.
	We recognize an error in this policy, and specifically the enforcement.
	You're still blocking their posts.
	You're still blocking their posts.
	Right now, today, you're blocking their posts.
	We're not blocking the posts.
	Anyone can tweet.
	Can the New York Post post on their Twitter account?
	If they go into their account.
	No, is your answer to that.
	Unless they agree with your dictates.
	Let me ask you something.
	You claimed it was because of a hacked materials policy.
	I find that facially highly dubious and clearly employed in a deeply partial way.
	Did Twitter block the distribution of the New York Times' story a few weeks ago that purported to be based on copies of President Trump's tax returns?
	We didn't find that a violation of our terms of service and his policy in particular because it was reporting about the material.
	It wasn't distributing the material.
	Okay, well that's actually not true.
	They posted what they purported to be original source materials and federal law, federal statute makes it a crime, a federal felony.
	To distribute someone's tax returns against their knowledge.
	So that material was based on something that was distributed in violation of federal law, and yet Twitter gleefully allowed people to circulate that.
	But when the article was critical of Joe Biden, Twitter engaged in rampant censorship and silencing.
	And again, we recognized errors in that policy.
	We changed it within 24 hours.
	They didn't.
	The New York Post was locked down.
	You haven't changed it.
	It's a lie.
	They can log into their account, delete the original tweet.
	You forced a Politico reporter to take down his post about the New York Post as well, is that correct?
	Within that 24-hour period, yes.
	But we, you know, as the policy has changed, anyone can tweet us out.
	You can censor the New York Post, you can censor Politico, presumably you can censor the New York Times or any other media outlet.
	Mr. Dorsey?
	Who the hell elected you and put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report and what the American people are allowed to hear and why do you persist in behaving as a democratic super PAC silencing views to the contrary of your political beliefs?
	Let's give Mr. Dorsey a few seconds to answer that and then we'll have to conclude this segment.
	Well, we're not doing that, and this is why I opened this hearing with calls for more transparency.
	We realize we need to earn trust more.
	We realize that more accountability is needed to show our intentions and to show the outcomes.
	Thank you, Senator.
	So I hear the concerns and acknowledge them, but we want to fix it with more transparency.
	Thank you, Senator Cruz.
	God Almighty, I tell you.
	When someone tells you something that is just blatantly false, it's a very difficult thing to react.
	It is.
	Lies are very powerful.
	We're not censoring the New York Post.
	Yes, you are.
	Well, if they just delete their tweet and then tweet again.
	We can't influence elections.
	Twitter?
	Nah.

	Live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	Now you, like me, have a couple of Trump tattoos.
	He did not go after Kristen last night.
	Are you surprised by that?
	No, I'm not surprised at all.
	I mean, I think Trump, in an effort to get some of those suburban women, accurately recognized that attacking a young black woman on stage is probably not the greatest move.
	And I think he was smart to sort of keep the powder dry there.
	Now, Megan, your assessment of the last 30 minutes, because I've already told the audience mine, I think Joe wilted.
	I think the former vice president did not go the distance and gave up a lot of ground and a lot of unforced errors in the last 30 minutes.
	How did you score the fight?
	Yeah, well, first of all, I didn't think Joe Biden was a factor.
	I thought it was Trump's night overall.
	I mean, it was just Trump.
	You know how he always used to say, like, I could be the most presidential president we've ever had.
	Well, last night he actually gave it a shot.
	You know, you never really see him trying to be more distinguished, more controlled, more on point, more substantive, because he, I think, prefers to be fun and avant-garde.
	And last night you saw him give it a shot, and it worked.
	He needed to do it at this time, and he did it.
	And I thought Joe Biden really wasn't much of a factor the entire night.
	And then when he actually started speaking up, he hurt himself.
	It was like I think his campaign would have preferred that he just stay quiet, stay mouse-like.
	But let's not pop up and say we're going to give amnesty to all the illegal immigrants as soon as we get into office.
	And let's not say we're going to get rid of fossil fuels.
	Those are two things they didn't need to say.

	So what went wrong?
	As you keep hearing Biden and Obama and everybody say Trump botched the recovery from coronavirus, listen to this.
	If you turn on the news in Italy right now, you might be forgiven for thinking you're getting reruns from March.
	Pictures of COVID-only units, field hospitals being erected, exhausted medics and coffins are again dominating headlines in Italy as Italy comes to grip with a deadly second wave of COVID. Wednesday, the death toll topped 125 in a 24-hour period.
	For the first time since May, when Italy was still under a draconian lockdown.
	What's particularly troubling about the return of COVID in Italy is that the country has done everything experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci have been advising.
	Masks in public places are compulsory, have been for months.
	Nightclubs have never reopened.
	Children who are back at school are regularly tested, strictly social distanced.
	Italy's health ministry released data.
	80.3% of the new infections in Italy occur at home.
	While only 4.2% come from recreational activities.
	Wednesday, Italy logged over 15,000 new infections.
	That would be the equivalent of 90,000 new cases in a single day in the United States, which has never been reached.
	And it's only getting worse.
	Authorities are concerned that despite all the best efforts to contain the spread, it simply cannot be stopped.
	For many, according to the Daily Beast, this week, in Italy, the sacrifices that helped during the first round, Seem lost now as though they had been made in vain.

	I salute Senator Cruz he is a courageous man battling often alone the greatest threat to free speech in American history These three people represent the greatest threat, again, to free speech in American history.
	The heads of Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
	There's been nothing like this.
	Nothing.
	It's the one thing that all Americans agreed on.
	You have the right to say what I don't agree with.
	However, liberalism is dying, and leftism is taking over, and leftism has always, without exception, in its history, suppressed dissenting voices.
	There is no exception from Lenin, To the left-wing in America today, whenever possible, all dissenting voices are suppressed.
	Read my column this week about the little incident, or the big incident in a little place.
	A high school outside of Toledo, where the kids were told that for extra credit, they could watch a conservative video, a PragerU video, One parent objected, and that was removed.
	They should not have five minutes, five minutes, that's how much a Prager video lasts, of a non-left-wing idea allowed.
	Maumee High School caved in, not surprised, to give them credit for even inaugurating the idea.
	Why has Google censored the Great Barrington Declaration?
	You know what the Great Barrington Declaration?
	Thousands of scientists who object to the lockdown, which is killing, just killing the world.
	The lockdown is killing the world, not COVID. You're not allowed to say that on the internet.
	This is from Spiked.
	Why has Google censored the Great Barrington Declaration?
	Big tech now treats any opposition to lockdown as misinformation, even if it's from eminent scientists.
	As much of the world gears up for a second round of lockdowns, and restrictions on everyday life grow ever tighter, a group of infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists have come together To propose an alternative,
	the Great Barrington Declaration was spearheaded by Martin Kulldorff from Harvard Medical School, Sunetra Gupta from Oxford University, and Jay Bhattacharya from Stanford University Medical School.
	The Declaration was bound to cause controversy for going against the global political consensus, which holds that lockdowns are key to minimizing mortality from COVID-19.
	Instead, the signatories argue that younger people who face minimal risk from the virus should be able to go about their lives unimpeded, while resources are devoted to protecting the most vulnerable.
	The lockdowns, they argue, have not only caused an intolerable amount of collateral damage, but have also contributed to a higher number of COVID deaths.
	But for making this argument, the Declaration has been censored.
	Tech giant Google has decided that the view of these scientists should be covered up.
	Most users in English-speaking countries, when they Google Great Barrington Declaration, will not be directed to the Declaration itself, but to articles that are critical of the Declaration, and some that amount to little more than smears of the signatories.
	Wow.
	Yes, I know that.
	You're not allowed to tweet, in some cases, anything written by a scientist, scientist, scientist, on behalf of hydroxychloroquine.
	Another study was released by Dr. Victor Zelenko in New York, who has been using it.
	I want to repeat for the hundredth time that It seems to work quite effectively if used only in the early stages of COVID-19.
	Not once you are hospitalized.
	And it has to be accompanied by zinc.
	I so believe in it.
	I take it every week.
	1-8 Prager 776. The issue, my friends, is that this stuff is being censored by these three people.

	That's at relieffactor.com 800-500-8384 We've been told for days now for
	weeks now That this is a Russian influence operation.
	It's not Hunter Biden's laptop.
	And this is another version of Russian collusion by the Trump campaign.
	We now have the evidence.
	You have the story.
	The Senate, the Boblinsky is out there.
	We have the FBI. We have D&I Ratcliffe saying there is no Russian aspect to any of this.
	John, what should your colleagues, your fellow media moguls and editors-in-chief be doing?
	Right now.
	They should be going through the same emails I've been going through and that Peter Schweitzer's been going through and Matt Boyle's been going through and doing the reporting and finding out what went on in Joe Biden, Inc.
	during the days he was vice president and the immediate afterwards.
	Remember, this story about China is more than just a family getting rich, though that should be the primary concern we have.
	The second is that it shows a judgment question.
	Donald Trump for 20 years has been arguing that China poses an enormous threat to America.
	Joe Biden was arguing he'd like to make China grow, and it wasn't a threat to America.
	His family cashed in on it.
	Then in 2019 and 2020, when the coronavirus came along, he flipped around and came to Donald Trump's way of thinking.
	So which candidate do you want?
	Do you want the candidate who was right about China from the beginning or the one that changed tunes only after he and his family made millions of dollars from China?
	I think that's the big question that'll be at the middle of this debate tonight.
	You're talking about what they should be doing now.
	What should they be doing with regards to what they said previously about the laptop, John?
	They ought to correct the record.
	They ought to acknowledge that when they went with Adam Schiff's malarkey one more time, how many times has Adam Schiff misled the country the last few years?
	They should correct the record.
	They should say, we were wrong, we've been told otherwise, and then they should follow up on the journalism now that they know it's real material and inform the American public.
	Anything short of that?
	is censorship to the detriment of the American public, the voting public.

	You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
	Oh.
	Thank you.
	Reading to you and having you listen to the hearing, it's entering the twilight zone to speak to these people.
	Jack Dorsey began with such a whopping lie.
	Twitter has no ability to impact the election.
	If that's the case, then what are they talking about Russian interference?
	Russian interference is with regard to the big three.
	Twitter, Facebook, Google.
	But if they have no ability to affect the election, what are the Russians allegedly wasting their time doing?
	He said lie after lie.
	I hate using the word lie because it's not a misstatement or an error.
	It's a lie.
	He didn't allow the New York Post piece to be tweeted on the Hunter Biden computer because they have a policy of not allowing hacked materials that wasn't hacked.
	It's a lie.
	It wasn't hacked.

	This is from this week's Newsweek.
	Nigeria, Africa's largest nation, backs Trump despite Black Lives Matter hostility.
	And even despite his using the word in a private dialogue with some senators of s-hole countries, 60% of Nigerians want Donald Trump re-elected.
	I have often said that our salvation will come from Africa.
	If Christianity survives, it's going to be largely because of Africans.
	So here is the interesting thing.
	Here is the venerable Emeka Ezeji.
	A vicar, an archdeacon in the Missionary Christ Anglican Church in Nigeria's southeastern Enugu State, tells Newsweek by email, I pray for Trump because I see him as the almond tree.
	This means he's a sign.
	If he wins this election, God is giving America and the world more time.
	If he loses, it means there is no time.
	And speaking apocalyptically, looking at the political ideology of the Democrats, You discover they are working against the inerrant word of God.
	Of course, there is no one opinion in Nigeria, particularly with the country being split so evenly between Muslim and Christian communities, but most stand behind Trump, even defending some of his criticism of their own country.
	Some think that Trump has used, this is the quote, some think that Trump has used very harsh words on Nigeria and Africa, but they are not true?
	But are they not true?
	As Edgy says, in African nations, the leaders are selfish, corrupt, and presidents who want to remain in power until they die with nothing to show for it.
	If they had transformed the African nations, I don't think the president of any country would refer to African countries in a derogatory manner.
	A former British Prime Minister, David Cameron, Said Nigeria is fantastically corrupt.
	Other evangelical figures agree that Donald Trump was put in his position to do God's work.
	Interesting, eh?
	60% of Israelis support Donald Trump.
	Of Israeli Jews.
	You think Jews are on the left?
	Only American Jews are on the left.
	Something sick has happened in this country.
	To American Jewry.
	As a rather active Jew, I can't tell you how sad that is to report to you.
	But it is confined to the United States.
	Isn't that something?
	60% of Israeli Jews support Donald Trump.
	Now why might that be?
	Because they're not naive like American Jews.
	All the Africans who would like to move to the United States, gee, why would that be?
	I thought the country is systemically racist.
	And as I wrote in last week's column, my last week's column, we are drowning in left-wing lies.
	America is systemically racist is one of them.
	These are empty souls, people on the left.
	They need a cause.
	Life is too boring, and the middle class is too boring.
	I should read to you again because it was so spectacular.
	I read to you a couple of weeks ago, or maybe last week, I read to you Fred Siegel, a man who did not vote for Trump.
	I think he's a liberal Democrat, but he certainly can't stand Trump.
	And he's changed his mind because he realized that the left hates.
	The bourgeoisie, the middle class.
	They just hate them.
	They hate their values.
	They look down upon them.
	They look down on their music.
	They look down upon even the way they eat and the food they eat, the way they speak.
	And it's true.
	I grew up in New York.
	The contempt for flyover country.
	That's what this is about.
	Contempt.

	The 2020 election is now just days away.
	Here's my short case for backing the Trump-Pence ticket and voting for Republican senators and representatives in your state.
	On the coronavirus pandemic, Trump has done as well as any president could have done and certainly better than Joe Biden.
	You're safer and more secure because of the Trump military buildup.
	The president has made the necessary pivot with China, and he's brokered the first major peace deal in the Middle East in 25 years.
	On the economy, Trump and the GOP succeeded in bringing unemployment to all-time lows early this year.
	Now, even amidst the pandemic, the economy is bouncing back.
	Your First and Second Amendment freedoms are much stronger as well because Trump has bolstered the Supreme Court and federal courts with strong judges who honored the Constitution.
	Whatever you think of Trump personally, there's no question.
	His policies have been good for the country.
	Join me in voting for a second Trump term.

	Sydney, where is the case against Mike Flynn?
	It is still sitting in Judge Emmett Sullivan's court more than 160 days after the government moved to dismiss it with prejudice, more than 50 days after the D.C. Circuit told him to decide it with dispatch, and now approximately three weeks after the hearing.
	Is this just playing for time?
	You filed that request to have it dismissed.
	The higher three-judge panel said it should be.
	Then Judge Sullivan played another game.
	How long can this purgatory last?
	You're the legal professional.
	How long can this sword of Damocles be held above Mike Flynn's head?
	Well, if it runs into next week, I think we're going to have to look at filing another mandamus action.
	This is just unforgivable.
	The bar was very low for Trump on this debate and he cleared it.
	Magnificently.
	All he had to do...
	The Democrats did themselves in because they kind of on all the pre...
	Say it again.
	Mike Lee is speaking now.
	Let me take a call because it's a dissenting call.
	I go to them in Danville, Pennsylvania.
	Elaine, hi.
	Yeah, hi.
	How are you?
	Okay, thank you.
	I just want to know, I want, I'm a Democrat, and I'm not, I want to know why I have to get up every morning and feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, and why there's so much chaos.
	If Donald Trump is, in 2016, he was going to make America great again, well, now his theme is make America great again, again.
	He had four years to do it, and all he does is fight with people.
	Even his own party he fights with.
	He never talks about what his policies are, what he's going to do.
	All he does is fight.
	And I'm so tired of it, and so is more than half of the American people.
	There's never been a president, not in my lifetime, and I don't suspect at any time in American history, That was vilified by almost the entire mainstream media of the country.
	He was impeached over nothing.
	Impeached three years.
	The fighting was initiated by his opponents, not by him.
	No, he wasn't impeached over nothing.
	Okay, so fine.
	If you feel that it was worthwhile, fine.
	I'm not going to argue.
	Let's say he was impeached.
	All right.
	The Republicans did not believe that it was worth impeaching.
	They did think that what Nixon did was worth it.
	So Republicans are capable of voting on behalf of impeachment if they think it's warranted.
	But you can't say he is the man who has initiated the fights.
	For three years, they lied and spent $40 million investigating something that never happened.
	Did that ever happen in American history?
	Or only against this president?
	The president has hundreds of lawsuits.
	Do you want to answer me?
	If you don't want to answer me, that's fine.
	I'd rather not answer your question.
	There's never been a president that's been vilified?
	No.
	That has three years of congressional investigation over something that never happened.
	The Russian collusion story is the biggest lie of my lifetime.
	If he didn't do anything wrong, nobody would be investigating him.
	Oh, that's fascinating.
	Okay.
	So, wow.
	I'll just leave it there because I have to ruminate over that thought.
	If he didn't do anything wrong, nobody would be investigating him.
	Okay.
	It's very important for people to understand why there is such a thought gulf in our society.
	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	Thank you.
	Glenn Reynolds, who writes a column for USA Today, wrote a column about Hunter Biden and his laptop.
	And USA Today won't publish it?
	Twitter shuts down the account of the New York Post so they can't even tweet their own article?
	And people trying to tweet the article get a message that says error?
	I know I got a message that said error when I tried to tweet it.
	So big tech, Google, Facebook, Instagram, all against Trump.
	Hollywood hates its guts.
	The media have been complicit in suppressing this story and attacking it as Russian disinformation.
	But the Steele dossier, that wasn't Russian disinformation.
	Oh, no.
	John is in St. Petersburg, Florida.
	John, you're on the Larry Elder Show.
	Yeah, you know, I was just thinking when you were talking about Adam Schiff and he was saying that this is all Russian disinformation And I was thinking, well, you know, the guy that dropped off the laptop was Hunter Biden, so I guess the Bidens are Russians.
	Is that right?
	Apparently so, John.
	The Russians made Hunter Biden take his laptop.
	The Russians made Hunter Biden leave it for 90 days and therefore became the property of the computer store owner.
	The Russians made the computer store owner contact the FBI. You know, the Russians, they're amazing.
	You know, the biggest interferer in our election?
	Not the Russians.

	Transcription by CastingWords Now you, like me, have a couple of Trump tattoos.
	He did not go after Kristen last night.
	Are you surprised by that?
	No, I'm not surprised at all.
	I mean, I think Trump, in an effort to get some of those suburban women, accurately recognized that attacking a young black woman on stage is probably not the greatest move.
	And I think he was smart to sort of keep the powder dry there.
	Now, Megan, your assessment of the last 30 minutes, because I've already told the audience mine, I think Joe wilted.
	I think the former vice president did not go the distance and gave up a lot of ground and a lot of unforced errors in the last 30 minutes.
	How did you score the fight?
	Yeah, well, first of all, I didn't think Joe Biden was a factor.
	I thought it was Trump's night overall.
	I mean, it was just Trump.
	You know how he always used to say, like, I could be the most presidential president we've ever had.
	Well, last night he actually gave it a shot.
	You know, you never really see him trying to be more distinguished, more controlled, more on point, more substantive, because he, I think, prefers to be fun and avant-garde.
	And last night you saw him give it a shot, and it worked.
	He needed to do it at this time, and he did it.
	And I thought Joe Biden really wasn't much of a factor the entire night.
	And then when he actually started speaking up, he hurt himself.
	It was like I think his campaign would have preferred that he just stay quiet, stay mouse-like.
	But let's not pop up and say we're going to give amnesty to all the illegal immigrants as soon as we get into office.
	And let's not say we're going to get rid of fossil fuels.
	Like, those are two things they didn't need to say.
	And in the battle for moderates, those are not good positions at this point in the race.
	It's wrong.
	As you keep hearing Biden and Obama and everybody say Trump botched the recovery from coronavirus, listen to this.
	If you turn on the news in Italy right now, you might be forgiven for thinking you're getting reruns from March.
	Pictures of COVID-only units, field hospitals being erected, exhausted medics and coffins are again dominating headlines in Italy as Italy comes to grip with a deadly second wave of COVID. Wednesday, the death toll topped 125 in a 24-hour period.
	For the first time since May, when Italy was still under a draconian lockdown.
	What's particularly troubling about the return of COVID in Italy is that the country has done everything experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci have been advising.
	Masks in public places are compulsory, have been for months.
	Nightclubs have never reopened.
	Children who are back at school are regularly tested, strictly social distanced.
	Italy's health ministry released data 80.3% of the new infections in Italy occur at home.
	While only 4.2% come from recreational activities.
	Wednesday, Italy logged over 15,000 new infections.
	That would be the equivalent of 90,000 new cases in a single day in the United States, which has never been reached.
	And it's only getting worse.
	Authorities are concerned that despite all the best efforts to contain the spread, it simply cannot be stopped.
	For many, according to the Daily Beast, this week, in Italy, the sacrifices that helped during the first round, Seem lost now, as though they had been made in vain.
	But Trump!
	Trump!
	It's Donald Trump's fault!
	Nice try, you bunch of liars.
	But the president got him to say that he's going to phase out the oil industry, that he is going to phase out fracking.
	I think he lost a ton of votes in places like Pennsylvania and Ohio and Texas because he's on the record.
	He said these things.
	Right.
	No, he did.
	And he was not very artful.
	The real kind of...
	Interesting thing about last night was that it appeared in multiple places in the debate that when it came to whatever the topic was, Joe had one point and he could not get off of that point.
	There was no nimbleness to his rhetoric to be able to make a follow-up point and then a point that followed that.
	So he would kind of get stuck in these moments.
	And when it came to the fracking and the fossil fuels, he even ends up admitting that 11 million jobs will happen.
	Thank you.
	Okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	Thank you.
	Last week I did the topic of the so-called suburban woman and her political views.
	The last caller of the last hour would have been a perfect segue, but I've decided I'm going to do a non-political, I mean, 99% of the time, The male-female hour is not political.
	So I have another idea today.
	The male-female hour is the second hour of my show every Wednesday.
	It's the most honest talk about men and women I am aware of.
	And part of the reason is I'm very open to every subject.
	And another one is I'm truly neutral.
	I'm not a man fan and I'm not a woman fan.
	There are terrific and awful people of both sexes, and I suspect that the numbers are pretty balanced.
	For every male jerk, there's a female jerk.
	I wish they would all marry so that they would leave the good ones for the good people.
	But it doesn't work out that way.
	All right, so I have an interesting topic, which is a question.
	Sometimes I pose a question, and then I respond to your theories.
	Usually I give you my theories, you respond to or question them.
	But sometimes I simply throw out a question, and I learn a tremendous amount, as do the listeners.
	So here's my question.
	As soon as you have a thought on this, what are the, is the one or are the one or two biggest surprises about marriage?
	I want you to call if you're married 10 years or more.
	What are the biggest surprises?
	They could be negative.
	They could be positive.
	They could be neutral.
	But what Is the biggest surprise.
	That is something you did not imagine or did not assume would take place in your marriage.
	You did not assume this prior to getting married.
	1-8 Prager 776 877-243-7776 Let me give you an example.
	A friend of mine, after about 10 years of marriage, said to me, you know, I learned how, as a result of being married, and he married for that generation relatively late.
	It was, I think, late 30s.
	And he, or maybe 40, And he said, I learned how moody I am.
	When you live alone, you don't realize you're in a bad mood.
	I'm throwing out an example.
	That was not a surprise about marriage, but it was a surprise as a result of marriage.
	So what did you learn?
	Maybe that's another way of putting it.
	What did you learn that you didn't know before being married?
	About you, about marriage, about the other sex.
	It's an interesting question.
	Because I suspect that most people do not know If they've never been married, they don't know what marriage is like.
	It's not a criticism at all.
	How do you know?
	I mean, it's terra incognita.
	It's unknown territory, unknown earth.
	So I'm very interested to hear from you in that regard.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	What you've learned.
	It could be cynical.
	It could be unbelievably positive.
	I remember when I was in high school, I would think about getting married in high school.
	And my vision of marriage in high school was not entirely realistic.
	I have a great marriage now.
	I have been divorced, so I've gone through the mill, as it were.
	I'm a big believer in marriage.
	I'm a big believer that it's better to have been married and divorced than not to have been married.
	That was a great topic.
	I should revisit that, because not all of you agreed with me.
	But I am absolutely certain of that.
	It is better to have been married and divorced than never to have been married.
	It is better to have driven a car and had an accident or a car crash than never to have driven.
	It's not a perfect analogy, but it'll do.
	Anyway, that's a topic for another time.
	So what did you learn that you didn't know as a result of being married, if you're married 10 years or more?
	All right, we'll begin with an upbeat one in Atlanta, Georgia with, is it Danny?
	Yeah, Danny, hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thanks, Dan.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	So basically my take would be after many years of being married and growing towards the other person and making a decision that, you know, what if something were to happen to me?
	What if I were to die?
	I want my wife to give me a great reference, especially to God, you know, after it's all over.
	And so I've grown so much closer and love her so much more than I thought ever was possible.
	That's beautiful.
	So it's a love that you didn't anticipate?
	I knew I'd love her, but I didn't know I'd love her like this.
	That's great.
	Thank you.
	I love that, obviously.
	I mean, that's true.
	You can find, on the positive side, you can find yourself loving in a way with a depth that you didn't know existed or was possible.
	That's one thing that could happen in a marriage.
	All right, let's see.
	Let's go to Olinda.
	It's a new name for me, in Fontana, California.
	How many Olindas are there?
	There's very few, I think.
	So let me guess how you got it.
	So when you were born, one of your parents said, what should we name her?
	And one said, Linda.
	Oh, Linda!
	No, I was named after my grandmother.
	She was Portuguese.
	Okay, I got it wrong.
	That's okay.
	Thank you.
	All right, go ahead.
	Okay, after 31 years of marriage, 31 next month, we got married at 20, very young, and I went into my marriage 100%.
	It's going to be equal.
	He cooks, I cook.
	He works, I work.
	And it turns out it's not like that at all because I don't plunge a toilet and he doesn't make a castor roll.
	And I love the inequality, which surprised me as a whole, how unequal it is.
	He does things, I do things.
	Wait, and how much you like it.
	That also surprised you.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	All right, hold on.
	That's fascinating.
	We'll find out why.
	We shall return.
	turn male female hour Dennis Prager show turning
	now on the Charlie Kirk show so Joe Biden was starting to run out of steam a 45 minutes, an hour, hour 15 into the debate, you could start to see Joe Biden looking at his watch.
	He called Donald Trump Abraham Lincoln.
	He said the poor boys instead of the proud boys.
	And it was becoming more clear that Joe Biden was metaphorically overheating.
	President Donald Trump Saw an opportunity and Kristen Welker, the moderator, decided to have climate change be the final topic of the debate.
	Now, why they frame climate change as an existential threat, which it isn't, to our country and to our planet as a primary concern is basically just pandering to the wish list of the most powerful elites.
	That have their whole life so neatly organized financially, they're looking for another thing to try and spend time and try to make themselves feel valuable in life.
	Climate change is not a pressing issue for families that can't pay the mortgage and cannot get jobs, cannot send their kids to school.
	And we're happy to build out the entire issue of climate change, environmentalism, and environmentalism has become a religion of the left.
	But since they decided to have that topic last, Joe Biden was the least alert, the least prepared to interface on this topic.
	And so this topic started around whether or not climate change was an existential threat.
	President Donald Trump, I thought, handled it perfectly.
	Lowest carbon emissions in 30 years.
	One trillion trees planted.
	He went through the whole list.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berka.
	We've been told for days now, for weeks now, that this is a Russian influence operation.
	It's not Hunter Biden's laptop.
	And this is another version of Russian collusion by the Trump campaign.
	We now have the evidence.
	You have the story.
	The Senate, the Boblinsky is out there.
	We have the FBI. We have D&I Ratcliffe saying there is no Russian aspect to any of this.
	John, what should your colleagues, your fellow media moguls and editors in chief be doing?
	Right now.
	They should be going through the same emails I've been going through and that Peter Schweitzer's been going through and Matt Boyle's been going through and doing the reporting and finding out what went on in Joe Biden, Inc.
	during the days he was vice president and the immediate afterwards.
	Remember, this story about China is more than just a family getting rich, though that should be the primary concern we have.
	The second is that it shows a judgment question.
	Donald Trump for 20 years has been arguing that China poses an enormous threat to America.
	Joe Biden was arguing he'd like to make China grow, and it wasn't a threat to America.
	His family cashed in on it.
	Then in 2019 and 2020, when the coronavirus came along, he flipped around and came to Donald Trump's way of thinking.
	So which candidate do you want?
	Do you want the candidate who was right about China from the beginning or the one that changed tunes only after he and his family made millions of dollars from China?
	I think that's the big question that'll be at the middle of this debate tonight.
	You're talking about what they should be doing now.
	What should they be doing with regards to what they said previously about the laptop, John?
	They ought to correct the record.
	They ought to acknowledge that when they went with Adam Schiff's malarkey one more time, how many times has Adam Schiff misled the country the last few years?
	They should correct the record.
	They should say we were wrong, we've been told otherwise, and then they should follow up on the journalism now that they know it's real.
	Okay.
	Yay.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	My dear, dear friends, before we go on with the male-female hour, I have a personal request, and that is that you click on the banner for the Alliance Defending Freedom at my website.
	I want to raise, for them, $50,000.
	We're very close.
	We should be raising hundreds of thousands, in my opinion.
	But it is what it is.
	I ask only for PragerU, ADF, and the Salvation Army.
	This year the Salvation Army will not be in the Christmas Appeal, so I will have another thing I believe in.
	It is very rare I ask you to donate.
	This is a worthy and important cause.
	They pay for the lawyers who bring freedom issues to the Supreme Court, especially religious freedom.
	So, just click on that, please, the banner for ADF at my website, DennisPrager.com.
	This is the male-female hour.
	The question is, if you're married 10 years or more, what have you learned that you did not know 10 years earlier?
	So, I'm back to Olinda in Fontana, California.
	So you expected a complete division of roles, correct?
	Yes.
	So you would both vacuum, and you would both do the dishes, and you would both do the toilet plunging, etc.
	Is that correct?
	Yeah, and we would both work, and we'd make meals together, and it would be 50-50 because...
	We're partners, and we both work, and that's not how it ends up being.
	So how did it end up being?
	Well, he does what I call the manly stuff.
	He plunges toilets and changes light bulbs, and he works full time.
	He's a great man.
	He's a great husband.
	He's a great father.
	And I do the cooking and help the kids with the homework and chauffeur them around, and I absolutely...
	Love it.
	I love being home.
	I love everything about being a stay-at-home mom.
	Please don't feel sorry for me.
	I love it.
	I don't feel sorry for you.
	I think you're lucky and I think that that's the ideal in most cases.
	So would you say you had a sort of feminist view of marriage prior to marrying?
	I'm sorry, you cut out.
	Would I say what?
	That you had a feminist view of marriage.
	I guess it depends on the exact topic we're talking about.
	Well, the idea that everything would be 50-50.
	Nobody would be...
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Right.
	Well, at 20, I did.
	Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
	At 20, I did.
	All right.
	That's really interesting.
	See, I did not know what your answers would be.
	Sometimes I project the answers in my mind.
	Not in this case.
	So it's a valuable hour.
	I hope they all are, but for me especially, because I just learn so much.
	Okay, Jim, Savannah, Georgia.
	Hello.
	Dennis, thank you for taking my call.
	I've got to put this as politely as I can, but the first words in this...
	This segment is, after 35 years of marriage, I guess at my age, I'm surprised that the intimacy between my wife and I has tapered off so much, and I think it's a man's drive, and maybe not so much a woman's, maybe it's just me.
	Right, so let me ask you this, because there's a certain normalcy to that over the course of time.
	Are you unhappy about it?
	No, because I guess through all your previous callers, I can't believe the love that I've found in all these years.
	So I guess I tolerate it.
	So you're tolerating your lower drive or her lower drive or both your lower drives?
	Her lower drive.
	Her lower drive.
	Oh, I see.
	Okay.
	I understand.
	Yep.
	What is her reaction?
	Does the issue, let's put it this way, does the issue ever get raised?
	It gets raised, in my case, in a very roundabout way, and I just don't think it sinks in, or that roundabout way is not clear enough.
	Maybe I should try a more direct approach.
	But when you're chasing her down around the house or something like that, and it's just no, no, no.
	Is it ever a yes, yes, yes?
	Well, yes.
	Nevertheless, you also pointed out that you love her more than ever?
	Yes, sir.
	I sure do.
	So that must surprise you, too.
	Well, no, that's mind-blowing, that part of it is.
	So it's more than surprising.
	My love between us and my love for her.
	Yeah.
	Other than that, she's a perfect wife.
	Other than that, she's a perfect wife.
	Have you mentioned this to a male friend?
	You know, it comes up around in male conversations, and I think they say, none of us want to be manly about it.
	None of us want to really admit maybe that we're not getting it as much as we like.
	For how long were you getting it as much as you like?
	Oh, shoot, Dennis.
	It would have probably been the first, well, after the second child in our first five years, it was great.
	And then it started to wane off a lot after that.
	After the second child?
	Correct, correct.
	We were both working.
	We both have high-pressure jobs.
	And I think that might have a lot to do with it also.
	Yep.
	Well, I really appreciate your openness, and I suspect that you are not alone.
	All right.
	This is a learning hour.
	Linda in San Diego, California.
	Hi, Dennis Prager with you.
	Good morning.
	How are you today?
	Okay, thank you.
	I hope you can hear me all right.
	I hear you perfectly.
	All right.
	What I learned at the...
	We got married at...
	I was 28. He was in his early 30s.
	And I discovered I'm not as great as I thought I was.
	You remind me of the opening comment that I made about my friend who said he didn't know how moody he was until he got married.
	You know, I went into marriage with so many people telling me, oh, I was so mature.
	Well, guess what?
	Marriage brought out the worst in me.
	I was not impressed.
	You are adorable, I have to say.
	You were not impressed.
	Are you still married?
	We are still married, 36 years, and I have to sneak in the second thing I learned because I learned it through you.
	I have learned to enjoy and delight in the 10-year-old boy that keeps popping out of my 70-year-old husband.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	You are special.
	Sean wants to give you a hug, I must say.
	He's going to go to Savannah.
	No, no.
	Sorry, San Diego.
	I knew his essay.
	That was a great call.
	Bless you.
	We'll be back.
	Let's bring her show.
	Let's bring her show.
	Glenn Reynolds, who writes a column for USA Today, wrote a column about Hunter Biden and his laptop, and USA Today won't publish it?
	Twitter shuts down the account of the New York Post so they can't even tweet their own article?
	And people trying to tweet the article get a...
	Message that says error.
	I know I got a message that said error when I tried to tweet it.
	So big tech, Google, Facebook, Instagram, all against Trump.
	Hollywood hates its guts.
	The media have been complicit in suppressing this story and attacking it as Russian disinformation.
	But the Steele dossier, that wasn't Russian disinformation.
	Oh, no.
	John is in St. Petersburg, Florida.
	John, you're on the Larry Elder Show.
	Yeah, you know, I was just thinking when you were talking about Adam Schiff and he was saying that this is all Russian disinformation.
	And I was thinking, well, you know, the guy that dropped off the laptop was Hunter Biden, so I guess the Bidens are Russians.
	Is that right?
	Apparently so, John.
	The Russians made Hunter Biden take his laptop.
	The Russians made Hunter Biden leave it for 90 days and therefore became the property of the computer store owner.
	The Russians made the computer store owner contact at the FBI. You know, the Russians, they're amazing.
	You know, the biggest interferer in our election?
	Not the Russians.
	It's the media.

	Now you, like me, have a couple of Trump tattoos.
	He did not go after Kristen last night.
	Are you surprised by that?
	No, I'm not surprised at all.
	I mean, I think Trump, in an effort to get some of those suburban women, accurately recognized that attacking a young black woman on stage is probably not the greatest move.
	And I think he was smart to sort of keep the powder dry there.
	Now, Megan, your assessment of the last 30 minutes, because I've already told the audience mine, I think Joe wilted.
	I think the former vice president did not go the distance and gave up a lot of ground and a lot of unforced errors in the last 30 minutes.
	How did you score the fight?
	Yeah, well, first of all, I didn't think Joe Biden was a factor.
	I thought it was Trump's night overall.
	I mean, it was just Trump.
	You know how he always used to say, like, I could be the most presidential president we've ever had.
	Well, last night he actually gave it a shot.
	You know, you never really see him trying to be more distinguished, more controlled, more on point, more substantive, because he, I think, prefers to be fun and avant-garde.
	And last night you saw him give it a shot, and it worked.
	He needed to do it at this time, and he did it.
	And I thought Joe Biden really wasn't much of a factor the entire night.
	And then when he actually started speaking up, he hurt himself.
	It was like I think his campaign would have preferred that he just stay quiet.
	Say mouse-like.
	But let's not pop up and say we're going to give amnesty to all the illegal immigrants as soon as we get into office.
	And let's not say we're going to get rid of fossil fuels.
	Those are two things they didn't need to say.
	And in the battle for moderates, those are not good positions at this point in the race.
	And this is not a Trump-friendly media outlet, The Daily Beast. The Daily Beast.
	Italy did everything right to stop the second coronavirus wave.
	So what went wrong?

	This is the male-female hour, the second hour on Wednesdays.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	If you're married 10 years or more, what have you learned that you did not know prior to being married?
	The answers have been all varied, fascinating, and many positive, which I didn't fully expect.
	last one was on the more sobering side but he still I think they're still in love and let's go to another not as positive response as Michael in Springfield, Pennsylvania.
	Hi.
	Dennis?
	Yes, sir.
	Yeah.
	Hi, Dennis.
	What happened with me?
	Can you hear me right, Dennis?
	I do.
	Yes, I hear you.
	Yeah, what happened with me was I very quickly became P.W. Do you know what that means, Dennis?
	P. Whipped.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And then I just clammed up.
	I didn't try to change it.
	I just didn't want to go through the battles.
	I just figured if I just clam up and do as I'm told, life would be good.
	Well, has life become good?
	Yeah, I'm still married.
	I divorced and then I remarried.
	And now, you know, now I'm not PW anymore.
	Because of the divorce?
	Yeah, I definitely think so.
	So you said you wouldn't tolerate this behavior, and she said, okay, no more.
	Is that what you're telling me?
	Am I summarizing you correctly?
	Say that again, Dennis.
	So you divorced?
	And thereby said, I will tolerate this no more.
	And she said, okay, I won't do it anymore.
	Is that a correct?
	Well, no, she got rid of me.
	So she got rid of you.
	Okay, so fine.
	But then on what condition, as it were, did you remarry?
	Well, I remarried because I said to her, listen, you know, I'm going to change, but I expect you to change too.
	You were part of the reason.
	I mean, we were both the reasons we divorced.
	She had bad things about her and I had bad things about me.
	And I said, well, you know, you're getting a new me, so I expect to get a new you.
	And you did.
	Yeah, I did.
	I'm not PW as much anymore.
	Would you say that you're happy you remarried?
	Oh, yes.
	Yes.
	Do you have kids?
	Yes, I do.
	Two young men.
	How did they react to your getting remarried?
	Actually, one was happy about it.
	I really got scared at one point when we were getting the divorce.
	One boy was the old typical, is it something I did?
	He didn't understand.
	He was extremely worried.
	He cried a few times, and that broke my heart.
	It might be another reason why I got back, you know?
	Probably.
	So how did the other one react to the remarriage?
	The other one is challenged.
	It's really kind of funny.
	He doesn't want to have anything to do with me.
	I'm back in the house.
	He's a challenged young man, and he doesn't want me here anymore.
	And I'm just living with it because I know how to live.
	Excuse me.
	He's alienated from you but not your wife?
	Yes.
	Does your wife try to reconcile the two of you?
	She tries, but, you know, he's challenged.
	And, you know, my wife's not a psychologist or anything.
	It's just real difficult for her to try to figure out what to say to him to try to make him come back, you know, into my life.
	He really alienated, you know?
	And I just figure it might be, it's just going to go away someday.
	How old is he?
	And you can't do anything like kick him out or anything because he's, you know, he's 24 and he's challenged.
	Oh, you mean he's challenged otherwise?
	Well, all right, listen, thank you.
	That was, uh, you're all fascinating.
	You know, my theory, in the right hands, everyone living, And have a fascinating biography written of them.
	Not everybody would know how to write a fascinating autobiography.
	That's not what I'm saying.
	But everyone with a good biographer, your story could be a bestseller.
	Even people so-called leaving boring lives.
	There's almost no such thing because if you go beneath the surface, There are many things to report.
	Male-female hour, I want to remind you that eating more than you have to is a major health problem in this country.

	bar was very low for Trump on this debate, and he cleared it magnificently.
	The Democrats did themselves in because they kind of on all the pre-media leading up to it on all the channels, they had the surrogates on talking about, you know, well, we're expecting the president to come out and hammer us and be mean and nasty and come for us.
	And I just, you know, blow the expectations away.
	Just be...
	Kind, control.
	It was a really strong performance in so many ways.
	Not the least of which was he also controlled the substance.
	He got in the topics that he wanted to get in.
	He did bring up the Hunter Biden laptop.
	He did bring up the corruption issue.
	He did work his way into those areas that some people had said he wouldn't be able to.
	And I think that it was just a masterful use of the moment the opportunity the demeanor and the kind of the content of the evening I thought it all worked in his favor.
	I I'm guessing that if any needle was moved It was with suburban women who needed to see that he is capable of being controlled measured responsible That was really magnificent on his part, that he was able to do that.
	And look, we've seen him do it before.
	We know he's capable of it.
	But the fact that he chose to do it last night, I really do think that there are a lot of people who all they needed to know was, can he do that?
	Will he do that?
	Is this a guy when things get tough who flies off the handle or who can be in control?
	I really do think that he moved that needle.

	The polls in our face over and over again telling us that Trump is going to get clobbered on November 3rd.
	The polls saying he's losing in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida, Wisconsin.
	I don't believe it.
	I just don't believe it and I could be in denial or maybe we're right.
	That this enthusiasm gap is dramatic.
	Listen to this data before we go to your calls.
	There have been 13 re-election events since the president got out of the hospital and returned to the campaign trail.
	13. According to the data provided by the Republican Party chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, the president has attracted over 167,000 rally-goers, and a huge percentage of them aren't even Republicans.
	At Trump's October 17th visit in Janesville, Wisconsin, the RNC reports that 47.5% of the over 13,000 people there said they were not Republicans.
	It is October...
	Yes, indeed.
	Y'all, Dennis Prager with you on the male-female hour.
	It's just, for me, It is such a wonderful opportunity to hear about your life.
	If somebody hears this show, I mean, if you really do hear three hours a day, it really is enriching.
	And it's not telling you I'm wonderful.
	It just is a fact.
	On almost every subject in life, I have a deep curiosity.
	I always did.
	It's built into me.
	I take no credit for it.
	And so I have the perfect job.
	And having non-political hours like the male-female hour really enables me to learn.
	And me is not just me, any one of you listening.
	Where else outside of a therapist's office could you hear such intimate details about people's lives?
	Today's topic is...
	If you're married 10 years or more, what did you not know prior to marriage and have learned since?
	Or what has surprised you either way?
	Whichever way you wish to deal with it.
	Alrighty, Donna in Los Angeles.
	Hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Hi.
	Thank you.
	Good morning.
	Thank you for taking my call, and thank you for everything you do on the Internet, on Instagram.
	I follow you, and I want to give a big shout-out to L.A. Dodgers first.
	But the reason I regard to your question, I never thought that I could love my husband more than I ever possibly could, even when we first worked together.
	You know, it's very interesting.
	You're like the third person to speak of that, that the amount of love you feel has surprised you.
	And I relate to that, and it's something for people to hear.
	Obviously, many marriages go in the other direction, as indeed mine in the past has.
	But this also happens.
	So it's very powerful to hear it.
	Go ahead.
	So we've been married 31 years, and one of the big reasons why I say this is after we put our kids to college and we decided, my husband and I finally decided to go on a vacation of our own.
	More than two days.
	We've always put our children first.
	And so, they decided, before we go on vacation, perhaps we had a regular routine checkup, and they did an ultrasound because they were having stomach issues.
	We're ready to leave.
	The doctor calls us and tells us that he thinks he had cancer.
	And first time, we're on our own, you know, empty nest, and we're going to start living our lives together.
	So, it was really hard.
	And three months later, he had to have surgery to remove.
	Portion of his kidney where the cancer was.
	And as he's laying there, they said, well, what denomination are you?
	And he always wanted to be a born-again Christian.
	We went to church.
	We fell off church.
	I was always a Catholic.
	But I just went with him because he's my husband, and that's what he wanted, and I followed him.
	Every now and then, I would sneak off to the Catholic Church and go.
	Nonetheless, when they asked, is it Catholic?
	Well, after we had a surgery, you know, everything came okay, and I was left alone in the waiting room, and I just started crying and realized that I couldn't live without this man.
	And just last year, my husband became a Catholic, and he is such a wonderful man.
	He is such a wonderful husband, such a great provider.
	I also work, we work as a team, and we tell each other, we love each other every night.
	And I know he loves me just as much as I love him.
	And he was the first boy I held hamster at 11 years old.
	And it's amazing.
	It is.
	I have to tell you, folks, I talk about surprise.
	I'm surprised at all the wonderful stories.
	I was sure I was going to hear a lot more of the dark side.
	That's very powerful stuff.
	You know, people who are not married and fear marriage.
	I understand fearing marriage.
	I don't understand not marrying.
	It's a big difference.
	You should hear this show.
	Totally spontaneously.
	Not expected.
	The power of the love that many couples feel for one another.
	All right.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Here's more of the dark side.
	Kelly, West Los Angeles.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	So, I was with my husband for six years before we got married.
	And I thought I knew him.
	But I worked.
	I was involved, and so I was gone a lot.
	A wonderful man.
	Just a sweetheart and incredibly intelligent and kind.
	And when we started to have kids, so that I ended up staying home, I realized it just came, everything was just because now that I became a stay-at-home mom, I had to take on the role of everything.
	I mean, even from like doing the lawn or painting the house.
	And I was really surprised because that's not at all when the six years we were together, we did everything together and we split everything.
	And so I was a bit shocked that I had to take on more of that role.
	And for me, I didn't realize how much work you have to put into a marriage and how you have to compromise and choose your battles.
	Well, let me ask you, does he work full-time?
	Yes.
	Do you?
	No, I'm a stay-at-home mom.
	Right, so if he's working full-time, what's wrong with the divvying of duties of his working full-time, supporting the house financially that way, and you're taking care of the house?
	Which is completely fine.
	I absolutely understand that.
	But come the weekend...
	I shouldn't have to continue to carry on.
	At that point, we should have to carry on these possibilities.
	Has this been a bone of contention?
	It is.
	Alright, let me leave it at that.
	Forgive me, because as you hear, I have to take a break.
	Alright, there was a surprise after six years of dating.
	We'll be back.

	The 2020 election is now just days away.
	Here's my short case for backing the Trump-Pence ticket and voting for Republican senators and representatives in your state.
	On the coronavirus pandemic, Trump has done as well as any president could have done, and certainly better than Joe Biden.
	You're safer and more secure because of the Trump military buildup.
	The president has made the necessary pivot with China, and he's brokered the first major peace deal in the Middle East in 25 years.
	On the economy, Trump and the GOP succeeded in bringing unemployment to all-time lows early this year.
	Now, even amidst the pandemic, the economy is bouncing back.
	Your First and Second Amendment freedoms are much stronger as well because Trump has bolstered the Supreme Court and federal courts with strong judges who honored the Constitution.
	Whatever you think of Trump personally, there's no question.
	His policies have been good for the country.

	Okay, everybody, final segment here of the Male Female Hour.
	What have you learned that you didn't know if you're married 10 or more years?
	That's the subject.
	And really, I look at the board and it's...
	Many, again, are reinforcing this.
	I didn't know I could love this much.
	People don't get this message.
	I think a lot of young people don't get this message.
	They know about divorce, which they should.
	Anyway, the idea of commitment has not been inculcated in many in this generation.
	Let's see here.
	Yep, Colorado Springs.
	Kimberly, hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Can you hear me?
	I can indeed.
	Oh, I'm so excited to talk to you.
	Oh, that's nice.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Even my homeschooled 11-, 9-, and 5-year-olds listen to you daily.
	So thank you for the truth that you're providing for them.
	Thank you for telling me.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's amazing to see the paradigm that they have.
	They've kind of grown up on talk radio.
	And it is completely different when you homeschool and children are allowed to hear the truth and hear wisdom, critical thinking.
	We haven't gotten them started on PragerU yet, but we will.
	So thank you for everything.
	Great.
	Thank you for telling me again.
	Listen, you're doing the right thing.
	Most schools are awful.
	Yes, I know.
	I'm so excited that you asked this question because it's fun for me.
	We've been married for 12 and a half years, and we're going strong.
	We very much believe in covenant.
	We have a beautiful ketubah on our wall.
	And as newlyweds, my husband told me to actually listen to your male-female hour.
	So I kind of forgot that until you asked the question.
	But we've been listening to you, and he especially told me when Allison is on, he loves her.
	So I think that's been really neat because I think that's, like you said in one of the breaks, about how we don't get this kind of information except in a therapist's office.
	It's so true.
	You've allowed an insight that we can't wean other ways into marriage, and I really appreciate it.
	And so for us, you know, we have a little thing above our bed that says, always kiss me goodnight, never let the sun go down on our anger, but it's interesting because there's less fighting.
	And less anger with increased sexual intimacy, which I know that you're a total proponent of and speak about that often, so we can totally attest to that.
	And the thing that surprised me is that in that increased intimacy, one thing is I've started to like the things that my husband likes more.
	Well, all right, listen, I would like to hear you for an hour, but I have a clock that is my ruler.
	That's great.
	You brought a big smile to my face.
	And to those of you I couldn't take, we will revisit this topic one day.
	But it's good to hear what you folks had to say.

	The polls in our face over and over again telling us that Trump is going to get clobbered on November 3rd.
	The polls saying he's losing in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida, Wisconsin.
	I don't believe it.
	I just don't believe it.
	I could be in denial.
	Or maybe we're right.
	That this enthusiasm gap is dramatic.
	Listen to this data before we go to your calls.
	There have been 13 re-election events since the president got out of the hospital and returned to the campaign trail.
	13. According to the data provided by the Republican Party chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, the president has attracted over 167,000 rally-goers, and a huge percentage of them aren't even Republicans.
	At Trump's October 17th visit in Janesville, Wisconsin, the RNC reports that 47.5% of the over 13,000 people there said they were not Republicans.
	At his October 14th stop in Des Moines, Iowa, she said 29.4% of the over 10,000 people were Democrats.
	At the first stop he made when he got out of the hospital, well, it feels like six months ago, it was just a week or two ago.
	He was in Sanford, Florida on October 12th.
	24.4% didn't even vote in 2016. And 31.8% were not Republicans.
	16.3% were Democrats.
	Ron McDaniel told the Washington Examiner, The RNC and Team Trump have the largest political operation in history built to turn out voters with surgical precision.

	Kamala Harris has referred to the Black Lives Matter movement as a beautiful movement.
	Yeah, there's some knuckleheads.
	Yeah, there's some people that set fire to some things.
	Yeah, there's some people that shoot.
	But by and large, it's a beautiful movement for racial solidarity.
	Based upon a narrative, and that narrative is that the police are engaging in systemic racism against black people, that the police are killing black people because they are black people, not because they've done something bad, not because a cop reasonably thought that this black person was posing a threat.
	No, no, no.
	They were doing it just because this suspect was black.
	And so a movement based upon a false narrative, there's no evidence whatsoever that that's true, is a beautiful movement.
	Even though it is causing people like the gentleman who shot two L.A. sheriff deputies in the head to do so.
	Even though it motivated a gentleman in New York to kill execution style two cops.
	Even though it motivated a gentleman in Baton Rouge to kill execution style three cops.
	Even though it motivated a gentleman in Dallas to kill five cops execution style.
	It's a beautiful movement.
	Never mind what used to be called the Ferguson Effect.
	Now it's called the Minneapolis Effect.
	And these are cops admitting that they pulled back.
	Why be proactive?
	Why try to stop crime?
	Why try to intervene?
	Fights.
	All you're going to do is put yourself in jeopardy of being accused of engaging in systemic racism.
	So to hell with it.
	We'll just deal with radio calls.
	It's called the Ferguson Effect.
	At least it used to be.
	Now it's called the Minneapolis Effect.
	You know what happens?
	Bad guys know it.
	And as a result, street crime goes up.

	The sleeper moment in this debate came at the end when Joe Biden...
	...the sleeper moment in this debate.
	I'm going to go back to the end of the day.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	There's a front-page article in the Wall Street Journal that is very worrisome.
	Mounting unpaid rent risks U.S. tidal wave of evictions.
	Rent payments is threatening a large swath of the U.S. population as the expiration of eviction bans draws near.
	A large number of renters have been unable to pay some or even all of their rent since March, when the coronavirus pandemic temporarily shut down most businesses.
	Two points quickly.
	There are two Wall Street Journals.
	The editorial and opinion pages constitute one Wall Street Journal.
	The other is the news division.
	From what I have gleaned, they don't like each other, and they don't see eye to eye, which is usually the case when you don't like each other, or vice versa.
	You don't like each other when you don't see eye to eye.
	So the Wall Street Journal news articles are not significantly different.
	They're different, but not significantly from those of the New York Times.
	Number two is the language that is used with regard to the lockdowns universally, right and left, Mind-bogglingly inaccurate.
	Notice the language here.
	The pandemic temporarily shut down most businesses.
	So the pandemic shut down nothing.
	Governors and mayors shut down businesses.
	We had a pandemic in 1968. They shut down nothing.
	When almost the same number of Americans died, 165,000 in proportion to today's population.
	So it's like a virus doesn't shut down anything here.
	Humans shut down things.
	Humans made a colossal error.
	This article is another example of the staggering price that the society will pay For the idiotic and immoral shutdown of all businesses.
	I'm deeply angry over it.
	On behalf of you who won't be able to pay your rent, and you who have lost your business, and etc.
	Notice also, the coronavirus pandemic temporarily shut down most businesses.
	Temporarily?
	Temporarily?
	Why did they add that word?
	It's an odd word.
	It's, uh, let's see, three, ten, seven months?
	Is it temporary?
	You're going to tell the owner of a restaurant?
	Yeah, we're going to shut down your restaurant temporarily.
	Oh, what do you mean?
	A week?
	A couple of weeks?
	No, no, no, most of the year.
	That's not temporary.
	That's not temporarily.
	The language is so angering to me.
	But I'm not reading it to you in order to show you the twisted attitude that almost every journalist, right and left, has.
	The pandemic closed down society.
	You know what?
	People did.
	Fear did.
	But not the pandemic.
	Anyway, the issue is...
	Millions who won't be able to pay their rent and will be evicted.
	Because the media did a great job in scaring everybody, scaring masses of people.
	I believe all businesses should have remained open.
	People who are sick should have stayed home.
	We should have gotten herd immunity.
	Immunological or immune booster things that we could, like vitamin D. That's apparently a massive factor in who gets sicker.
	Simple vitamin D, which should be taken in large amounts.
	I believe in hydroxychloroquine and zinc in the early stages.
	They're generally useless in the later stages once you're hospitalized.
	And you can't shut down society.
	People have to understand this.
	You can't shut it down.
	It should not be in your option bag.
	A week, two weeks maybe, yes, where there are truly overflowing hospitals.
	That's it.
	Many businesses remain closed or only partially open, pushing renters into unemployment and draining their savings.
	Federal and local eviction moratorium.
	By the way, if this is your situation, you can't pay your rent.
	Give me a call.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	Why do I even do one?
	Why don't I just do 8-Prager-776?
	You're not dialing from a house phone.
	Most people are...
	I could.
	8 Prager 776. Yeah, I like that.
	We don't do 1-877-243-776.
	We do 877. Federal and local eviction moratoriums have protected many of them from losing their homes if they missed payments during the pandemic.
	Should be during the lockdown.
	See?
	But the national eviction ban and some state and city protections are set to expire in January or sooner.
	Renters then will be on the hook for months of missed payments, which even those who have jobs could struggle to pay.
	Estimates of total outstanding rent debt vary widely.
	Yet by any measure, the effects of missed rent payments are bound to imperil millions of renters, pressure the landlord business, and wash over the broader economy.
	A study of unemployed workers released last week by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia Rent debt would reach $7.2 billion before the close of 2020. Moody's Analytics estimates that it could reach nearly $70 billion by year-end if there is no additional stimulus
	spending.
	The economic research firm calculated that 12.8 million people Would then owe an average of $5,400 from missed payments.
	But even the larger figure would be far less than what was lost when the $1.3 trillion subprime mortgage bubble burst.
	Well, we'll see what happens.
	I figured out, I've been struggling with this issue.
	I struggle with a lot of issues, like why did God make the mosquito?
	That's my perennial one.
	I struggle with the issue of why do people hate Donald Trump so much?
	I understand opposing him, disagreeing with him.
	The hatred is a derangement syndrome.
	I do believe that.
	I didn't say that for three years.
	Now I believe it.
	But even that needs to be explained.
	And I don't understand why almost every leader in the world locked down their societies.
	That I think I have now come to understand.
	They don't want to be held responsible now or by history of killing, of being responsible for the deaths of many of their citizens.
	They don't ask so much what is right, although they would say this is what is right, but they ask, how can I not be responsible for fellow Spaniards, fellow Israelis, fellow Americans dying?
	This was explained to me by a friend in Israel.
	who doesn't want to be blamed for all those deaths.
	Turning now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	So Joe Biden was starting to run out of steam.
	45 minutes, an hour, hour 15 into the debate, you could start to see Joe Biden looking at his watch.
	He called Donald Trump Abraham Lincoln.
	He said the poor boys instead of the proud boys.
	And it was becoming more clear that Joe Biden was metaphorically overheating.
	President Donald Trump saw an opportunity.
	Kristen Welker, the moderator, decided to have climate change be the final topic of the debate.
	Now, why they frame climate change as an existential threat, which it isn't, to our country and to our planet as a primary concern is basically just pandering to the wish list of the most powerful elites.
	That have their whole life so neatly organized financially, they're looking for another thing to try and spend time and try to make themselves feel valuable in life.
	Climate change is not a pressing issue for families that can't pay the mortgage and cannot get jobs, cannot send their kids to school.
	And we're happy to build out the entire issue of climate change, environmentalism, and environmentalism has become a religion of the left.
	But since they decided to have that topic last, Joe Biden was the least alert, the least prepared to interface on this topic.
	And so this topic started around whether or not climate change was an existential threat.
	President Donald Trump, I thought, handled it perfectly.
	Lowest carbon emissions in 30 years.
	One trillion trees planted.
	He went through the whole list.
	We've been told for days now, for weeks now, that this is a Russian influence operation.
	It's not Hunter Biden's laptop, and this is another version of Russian collusion by the Trump campaign.
	We now have the evidence.
	You have the story.
	The Senate, the Boblinsky is out there.
	We have the FBI.
	We have D&I Ratcliffe saying there is no Russian aspect to any of this.
	John, what should your colleagues, your colleagues, your fellow media moguls and editors-in-chief be doing?
	Right now.
	They should be going through the same emails I've been going through and that Peter Schweitzer's been going through and Matt Boyle's been going through and doing the reporting and finding out what went on in Joe Biden, Inc.
	during the days he was vice president and the immediate afterwards.
	Remember, this story about China is more than just a family getting rich, though that should be the primary concern we have.
	The second is that it shows a judgment question.
	Donald Trump for 20 years has been arguing that China poses an enormous threat to America.
	Joe Biden was arguing he'd like to make China grow, and it wasn't a threat to America.
	His family cashed in on it.
	Then in 2019 and 2020, when the coronavirus came along, he flipped around and came to Donald Trump's way of thinking.
	So which candidate do you want?
	Do you want the candidate who was right about China from the beginning or the one that changed tunes only after he and his family made millions of dollars from China?
	I think that's the big question that'll be at the middle of this debate tonight.
	You're talking about what they should be doing now.
	What should they be doing with regards to what they said previously about the laptop, John?
	They ought to correct the record.
	They ought to acknowledge that when they went with Adam Schiff's malarkey one more time, how many times has Adam Schiff misled the country the last few years?
	They should correct the record.
	They should say, we were wrong, we've been told otherwise, and then they should follow up on the journalism now that they know it's real material and inform the American public.
	Anything short of that?
	It's censorship to the detriment of the American public, the voting public.
	Hey, all, Dennis Prager here.
	I want to remind you, I've tried it.
	I got a phone.
	I hooked up.
	It's great.
	Pure talk.
	$20 a month for unlimited text and unlimited talk and two gigabytes of data.
	Just do pound 250 on your phone.
	And say Dennis Prager.
	And then you decide what to do.
	That's pound two five zero and say Dennis Prager.
	Let's all practice.
	Dennis Prager.
	I'm reading to you the headline in the Wall Street Journal, the front page article, not headline.
	About how many people won't be able to afford rent.
	You know that you still can't enter a restaurant in one of the most populous places in the world, Los Angeles County.
	I live here.
	I have to eat outside if I go to a restaurant or order out.
	If I can eat on an airplane without a mask, two inches from the next person, total stranger.
	A couple of feet from the person behind me, hardly six feet.
	That's fine.
	But a restaurant, six feet, eight feet from the next table, can't do that.
	Better to put these people out of business.
	And the hair salons, the nail salons that have been closed, that were closed for so long.
	The contempt for the small business owner, On the left, because it's mostly Democrats who are doing this, is very real.
	They call themselves compassionate.
	Kathy, Santa Clarita, California.
	Hello.
	Hi there, Dennis Prager.
	How are you?
	Oh, I'm fine.
	Thank you.
	Fabulous speaking to you.
	Good.
	So my situation is I own a condominium in Canaan country.
	She stopped paying in the middle of April, $1,425 a month, which I'm...
	Giving her a good, a fair deal.
	I talked.
	I finally said, I need to do an eviction.
	So I called an eviction attorney.
	Took me over an hour to get on the phone.
	They did the paperwork.
	They sent it to her.
	She circled saying COVID. I spoke with her yesterday.
	She's an African-American, Trump supporter, cannot even discuss her feelings in regards to Trump as she does hair.
	And she says, I can't even tell my client.
	Or I'll lose my client in regard to, as she does, African-American hair.
	So I spoke to her and I said, is there anything that we can do?
	She says, I can't right now.
	So here I am, landlocked.
	I'd like to sell my home.
	I'd like to be able to move in there to be able to get my capital gains, right, for two years.
	I can't move in there.
	I can't get any money from her.
	She's willing to pay me $1,425 right now.
	As we speak.
	And I took, when I spoke to the eviction attorney, he said, please take whatever you can and good luck.
	Because call me back in December and we'll see if anything has changed.
	And he says, well, you're governor.
	I said, no, it's not my governor.
	And then he was almost robotic as he was speaking.
	I was in about 4 o'clock in the afternoon yesterday and he was just done with these phone calls over and over and over of evictions.
	I felt bad for him.
	I feel bad for the situation.
	She's a good person in a bad situation.
	And I'm the front of it all.
	That's right.
	That's correct.
	And it shouldn't be this way.
	Gary in Dearborn, Michigan.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	First, I just want to say your show is my all-time favorite as well as PragerU and all the social media outlets.
	Thank you again.
	I do a lot of fundraising for veterans, and in a recent event, I had a person approach me regarding the issues of shutdowns and the ongoing violence.
	And originally, my understanding of the shutdown was the virus lasted two weeks.
	We sheltered in place for two weeks.
	The virus would be gone.
	End of story.
	Which would work, in theory, if everybody had it at the same time and were completely exposed 100%, but that's not always the case.
	This person talked about a family member in Chicago who lost their business to the looting and the riots.
	It was burned out.
	And the city came in and started levying a $10,000 a day fine against the business until they could get it cleaned up and boarded up and redone.
	And, of course, with the ongoing violence, they couldn't even get in there for quite some time.
	And these fines amassed to a point where, even with their insurance money, They couldn't afford to pay the fines and rebuild their business at the same time.
	What city was this?
	Chicago.
	They were fined?
	I don't understand.
	There was a $10,000 a day fine for not cleaning up your business after a riot?
	Yes.
	After the business was burned out, they were looted.
	The business was burned and destroyed.
	And because the city came in and just said, you have X amount of time to clean this up.
	Get rid of the hazard.
	And if you don't, we're going to love you $10,000 a day fine.
	So what happened?
	He went out of business?
	Yeah, they're still fighting, trying to fight it in court, but not having any luck.
	But they've lost basically their entire livelihood because of it.
	And even with the insurance to rebuild the building, they can't afford to reopen because they can't pay all the fines that have been levied against the business because of the violence, because they couldn't get in there.
	I didn't know about this fines thing.
	I'm going to look that up.
	You know, in San Francisco, there's an area in downtown San Francisco, people walk into stores and they simply open up the cash register, take out all the money.
	It's on camera.
	So Walmart has now, I believe it's Walmart, has permanently shut three of its locations in San Francisco.
	The Democrats have made law and order a dirty word.
	They have.
	I mean, law and order means you're a fascist.
	It means you're a racist.
	Of course, no law and order means that there is anarchy, because the human condition is pathetic.
	But the left is pathetic with regard to understanding the human condition.
	If you don't have police, you have violence.
	Innocent people get hurt.
	Get it?
	It's very simple.
	Police stop crime.
	The ultimate stopper of crime is a value system.
	But the value system that America and the West had, the Judeo-Christian, has been shattered.
	So, while there are still people who won't steal, obviously, there are many people who will.
	Because that's the way, it's normal to steal.
	It is not normal not to steal.
	This will shock those of you who went to college and stun those of you who went to graduate school.
	Bad is normal.
	Get it?
	It's normal.
	It's wrong, but it's normal.
	So if you don't have either a strong ethical code or a strong police force, or both, ideally, you will have bad things happen to good people.
	Like in Philadelphia.
	30 police wounded.
	Guy ran over a policewoman who, thank God, is alive.
	And you will vote Democrat because you hate Trump.
	God is that stupid.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Thank you.
	Now you, like me, have a couple of Trump tattoos.
	He did not go after Kristen last night.
	Are you surprised by that?
	No, I'm not surprised at all.
	I mean, I think Trump, in an effort to get some of those suburban women, accurately recognized that attacking a young black woman on stage is probably not the greatest move.
	And I think he was smart to sort of keep powder dry there.
	Now, Megan, your assessment of the last 30 minutes, because I've already told the audience mine.
	I think Joe wilted.
	I think the former vice president did not go the distance and gave up a lot of ground and a lot of unforced errors in the last 30 minutes.
	How did you score the fight?
	Yeah.
	Well, first of all, I didn't think Joe Biden was a factor.
	I thought it was Trump's night overall.
	I mean, it was just Trump.
	You know how he always used to say, like, I could be the most presidential president we've ever had.
	Well, last night he actually gave it a shot.
	You know, you never really see him trying to be more distinguished, more controlled, more on point, more substantive, because he, I think, prefers to be fun and avant-garde.
	And last night you saw him give it a shot, and it worked.
	He needed to do it at this time, and he did it.
	And I thought Joe Biden really wasn't much of a factor the entire night.
	And then when he actually started speaking up, he hurt himself.
	It was like I think his campaign would have preferred that he just stay quiet, stay mouse-like.
	But let's not pop up and say we're going to give amnesty to all the illegal immigrants as soon as we get into office.
	And let's not say we're going to get rid of fossil fuels.
	Those are two things they didn't need to say.
	And in the battle for moderates, those are not good positions at this point in the race.

	And this is not a Trump-friendly media outlet, The Daily Beast.
	Italy did everything right to stop the second coronavirus wave.
	So what went wrong?
	As you keep hearing Biden and Obama and everybody say Trump botched the recovery from coronavirus, listen to this.
	If you turn on the news in Italy right now, you might be forgiven for thinking you're getting reruns from March.
	Pictures of COVID-only units, field hospitals being erected, exhausted medics and coffins are again dominating headlines in Italy as Italy comes to grip with a deadly second wave of COVID. Wednesday, the death toll topped 125 in a 24-hour period.
	For the first time since May, when Italy was still under a draconian lockdown, what's particularly troubling about the return of COVID in Italy is that the country has done everything experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci have been advising.
	Masks in public places are compulsory, have been for months.
	Nightclubs have never reopened.
	Children who are back at school are regularly tested, strictly social distanced.
	Italy's health ministry released data 80.3% of the new infections in Italy occur at home, while only 4.2% come from recreational activities.
	Wednesday, Italy logged over 15,000 new infections.
	That would be the equivalent of 90,000 new cases in a single day in the United States, which has never been reached.
	And it's only getting worse.
	Authorities are concerned that despite all the best efforts to contain the spread, it simply cannot be stopped.
	For many, according to the Daily Beast, this week, in Italy, the sacrifices that helped during the first round seem lost now, as though they had been made in vain.
	But Trump!
	Trump!
	It's Donald Trump's fault!
	Nice try, you bunch of liars.
	Hi, everybody. everybody.
	If you called in and got on, I want you to stay on.
	There are very important calls there about the lockdown, COVID, rent payments, and the crisis.
	But I came across a book that is so good that I'm interrupting other issues to have the author on who has been on and who has also made a PragerU video for us.
	And two, in fact, two of them.
	And they're fantastic.
	And for many of you, the name is well-known.
	Jocko Willink, former Navy SEAL. He has the popular Jocko podcast.
	But the book is so good that I'm interrupting all else to promote it.
	This is not an ad.
	I'm not being paid to do this.
	Neither is Salem.
	But Jocko, your book, Discipline Equals Freedom, Field Manual MK1-MOD1, expanded edition, Discipline Equals Freedom.
	It should be given to every young person in the world.
	It should be translated into Tagalog.
	Well, thank you, Dennis.
	I appreciate it.
	And I'm glad you like it.
	In fact, one of the videos that I did make for PragerU was about this very thought of discipline equals freedom.
	And the more discipline you have in your life, the more freedom you're going to end up with.
	And I think we see that play all the time.
	And I'm glad to get the word out to some people with this book.
	You certainly should, because it's a service to humanity.
	Just a random page, folks.
	So it's a very...
	Interesting layout.
	They're black pages and white print.
	And in big letters across two pages, do what makes you happy.
	I hear people say this, and I get it.
	In life, do what makes you happy.
	And then you go on.
	The problem comes when people decide to let that ethos drive their daily life.
	When people try to do what makes them happy every day.
	This is wrong.
	Do not do it.
	Lying in bed for another 37 minutes makes you happy.
	Eating a donut will make you happy.
	Watching another episode of some random television show will make you happy.
	Scrolling through a social media page will make you happy.
	Buying some shiny new product will make you happy.
	These actions all result in short-term happiness.
	The problem is they also result in long-term misery.
	Do not go down that road.
	Do what challenges you, etc., etc.
	That's exactly right, because you recognize what I just talked about earlier this hour has been denied.
	Human nature needs to be fought.
	Yes, and you know, that's the thing.
	The first part of that...
	Do what makes you happy.
	Look, when people talk about, hey, do a job that makes you happy.
	I get that.
	That's a long-term thing.
	You know, I have a goal.
	I want to be a doctor.
	I want to be a builder.
	I want to be a car owner.
	I want to do something that makes me happy.
	That's great.
	You want to be around people that makes you happy.
	Great.
	I get that.
	You want to form a group of friends that over your lifetime, you're going to grow and you're going to do things together, and that's going to make you happy.
	I get that.
	You want to live in a place that makes you happy.
	I get that.
	Those are big, strategic, long-term things, but you have these goals.
	But when people take that and they turn it to, hey, I'm going to do what's going to make me happy in the next 17 minutes, that's a definite problem.
	And it creates problems for people all the time.
	And you're right, because human nature wants you to be comfortable right now.
	And you have to fight against that.
	It wants you to eat the rest of that donut.
	You know, whatever.
	2,000 years ago, if you had an opportunity to eat something, you better take it.
	Because that opportunity might not come again for two or three days or four days or until you were able to hunt down another animal.
	But nowadays, you can eat that donut now and you can eat another one 30 seconds later.
	And that causes problems.
	So, yeah, there's a lot of things that we have to fight against in this modern world to keep us on the right path, for sure.
	When did you come up with this?
	Did you know this as a young person or did the Navy instill it in you?
	You know, the Navy didn't instill it in me directly.
	If you have discipline, you'll end up with more freedom.
	What happened was, I grew up, and I realized that the more discipline that I had, and it definitely started with my job, you know, the harder I worked, look, I'm in the SEAL teams, I'm a young kid, I'm 19 years old, when I get to SEAL Team 1, and I want to do a good job, and I realized that the harder I worked, the more opportunity I got, the more responsibility I got, and the more freedom I got.
	And so the harder I work, the more discipline I have at work, the more freedom I had.
	Well, then I started applying that to my life in the civilian world and the way I ran my finances and the way I ran my health.
	And then I started realizing it doesn't only just apply to people as individuals.
	It applies to whole organizations.
	And if you have a field platoon and they're highly disciplined, you have a lot more freedom to maneuver that element around.
	This is the key.
	All right, forgive me.
	We're going to continue in a moment.
	And I'm going to go to some of your calls.

	Now you, like me, have a couple of Trump tattoos.
	He did not go after Kristen last night.
	Are you surprised by that?
	No, I'm not surprised at all.
	I mean, I think Trump, in an effort to get some of those suburban women, accurately recognize that attacking a young black woman on stage is probably not the greatest move.
	And I think he was smart to sort of keep the powder dry there.
	Now, Megan, your assessment of the last 30 minutes, because I've already told the audience mine, I think Joe wilted.
	I think the former vice president did not go the distance and gave up a lot of ground and a lot of unforced errors in the last 30 minutes.
	How did you score the fight?
	Yeah, well, first of all, I didn't think Joe Biden was a factor.
	I thought it was Trump's night overall.
	I mean, it was just Trump.
	You know how he always used to say, like, I could be the most presidential president we've ever had.
	Well, last night he actually gave it a shot.
	You know, you never really see him trying to be more distinguished, more controlled, more on point, more substantive, because he, I think, prefers to be fun and avant-garde.
	And last night you saw him give it a shot, and it worked.
	He needed to do it at this time, and he did it.
	And I thought Joe Biden really wasn't much of a factor the entire night.
	And then when he actually started speaking up, he hurt himself.
	It was like I think his campaign would have preferred that he just stay quiet, stay mouse-like.
	But let's not pop up and say we're going to give amnesty to all the illegal immigrants as soon as we get into office.
	And let's not say we're going to get rid of fossil fuels.
	Like, those are two things they didn't need to say.
	And in the battle for moderates, those are not good positions at this point in the race.

	Italy did everything right to stop the second coronavirus wave.
	So what went wrong?
	As you keep hearing Biden and Obama and everybody say Trump botched the recovery from coronavirus, listen to this.
	If you turn on the news in Italy right now, you might be forgiven for thinking you're getting reruns from March.
	Pictures of COVID-only units, field hospitals being erected, exhausted medics and coffins are again dominating headlines in Italy as Italy comes to grip with a deadly second wave of COVID. Wednesday, the death toll topped 125 in a 24-hour period.
	For the first time since May, when Italy was still under a draconian lockdown.
	What's particularly troubling about the return of COVID in Italy is that the country has done everything experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci have been advising.
	Masks in public places are compulsory, have been for months.
	Nightclubs have never reopened.
	Children who are back at school are regularly tested, strictly social distanced.

	I'm just going to take a couple more minutes, and I think I'd like to do an hour with you, if that's okay, on a future date.

	Discipline Equals Freedom is the name of the book.
	I want to give one example of discipline equals freedom.
	I'm into classical music, as my listeners know.
	So when I watch a great violinist or great pianist, I think, wow, They have ultimate freedom.
	They can play that instrument.
	I can't.
	So, how did they get there?
	How did they get the freedom to play?
	And the answer is discipline.
	This guy once has an old joke.
	How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
	Answer.
	Practice.
	Yes, I've used a similar example.
	I like rock and roll, and the guitarist from Led Zeppelin, a guy by the name of Jimmy Page, he was a studio musician for years, and he just played one exact note for note what he was told to play, and he played all the time in that mode, and by the time he got into the rock and roll band Led Zeppelin, he had complete freedom to make that guitar.
	Sound how he wanted it to sound because he had the discipline.
	Exactly.
	It's exactly the same as mine, just different form of music.
	That's exactly right.
	All right, my friend.
	We're going to do an hour together.
	I'm so crazy about the book, I just wanted to, in this very urgent time, take time out to tell people about it.
	Discipline equals freedom.
	Jocko, we'll talk soon.
	Thanks, Dennis.
	Appreciate it.
	You, my friend, to say the least, have earned it.
	Thank you.
	All right.
	I'm so preoccupied with the damage done by the lockdowns in this world.
	I gave you the latest example of people who can't pay rent.
	Houston, Texas.
	James, hello.
	Yes, sir.
	How are you doing?
	Okay, thank you.
	Yeah, I just wanted to let you all know, I've been a nurse for...
	11 years and been in healthcare 30 years.
	Let me tell you, these lockdowns are actually perpetuating that virus.
	Okay, the problem is that our immune system is like a muscle.
	You don't exercise it, it gets weak.
	And locking people down, you're going to find, I've been looking at this, I do research.
	I don't do internet research.
	I do, you know, statistical research.
	There's a lot of hot spots, and those are right after lockdowns.
	They go, okay, the numbers are going down, let's come out and see what's going on.
	Boom, hot spot.
	It's because we're weakening our immune system.
	That's right.
	That is a great point.
	It's ridiculous.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	And the problem is that, you know, when did we start listening to politicians for health care?
	These politicians are part of the problem, you know, because it's almost, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it always seems like they want this to happen because they're getting orders from Joe Biden.
	They say they're following the scientists.
	That's not science.
	I can tell you.
	It's a bull.
	It's a bull.
	Yes, even though the CDC does not support this will say to see this like even they said they come out that that number that they keep In blatant on CNN only six percent of those are actual code that's the rest of life or comorbidity They would have died anyway, that's correct That's exactly right.
	You got it all correct.
	If you die of X, Y, or Z, or A, or B, or C, but you had COVID, you're listed as a COVID death.
	I don't know if other countries do that.
	I'll bet they don't.
	Or I'll bet many don't.
	Or some don't.
	So the ranking of the U.S. in terms of deaths per million may be completely invalid.
	Because we have such an inflated number.
	Anyway, we'll see what excess deaths is compared to next year and the year after and two years ago.
	Not last year.
	Last year we had a very low...
	Excess death rate.
	Yep.
	Let's see.
	Kofonda in Minneapolis.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Hi, Jenna.
	I just wanted to tell you.
	I'm going to pull over a minute.
	I just wanted to tell you about my experience.
	I'm a landlord for the last 11 years in Minneapolis, and I had a duplex that a block off of Lake Street where all the rioting happened.
	But the reason I'm calling is that I just wanted to say I have another duplex with tenants in that have been employed this entire time and just decided they don't have to pay rent now.
	And I can't evict them.
	So they owe me like $12,000.
	So I get to keep paying their water and their garbage and the taxes, but I can't get paid.
	And I'm getting out of the landlord business.
	And my theory is that government creates housing crisis by treating landlords badly.
	Minneapolis also just voted to defund the police, and they put a lot of restrictions on landlords.
	Like, I can only ask for a first month's rent and a deposit, or I can ask for one month's rent and the last month's rent, but I can't ask for a deposit then.
	So then what happens is when they come to their last month of renting with me, they just leave everything behind and don't pay their last month, and I'm just stuck.
	Wait, I thought you could ask for the last month.
	Yeah, but then I have no deposit.
	Oh, you mean for any damage done in the apartment?
	Yeah.
	Well, for reasons that I never fully understood, landlord has, it's inherently a sort of mean and bad name, but it's absurd.
	It's absurd.
	I took a lot of empty buildings, and they were filled with the United Nations of people.
	And these aren't high-rent places.
	They were $400 per bedroom.
	So three guys had paid $400 each per month.
	And they're working.
	And they couldn't pay me.
	Right.
	That's all human-induced.
	Not pandemic-induced.
	Human induced.
	Trending now on the Larry Oller Show.
	Kamala Harris has referred to the Black Lives Matter movement as a beautiful movement.
	Yeah, there's some knuckleheads.
	Yeah, there's some people that set fire.
	There's some things.
	Yeah, there's some people that shoot.
	But by and large, it's a beautiful movement for racial solidarity based upon a narrative.
	And that narrative is that the police are engaging in systemic racism against black people, that the police are killing black people.
	Because they are black people, not because they've done something bad, not because a cop reasonably thought that this black person was posing a threat.
	No, no, no.
	They were doing it just because this suspect was black.
	And so a movement based upon a false narrative, there's no evidence whatsoever that that's true, is a beautiful movement, even though it is causing people like the gentleman who shot two L.A. sheriff deputies In the head to do so,
	even though it motivated a gentleman in New York to kill execution style two cops, even though it motivated a gentleman in Baton Rouge to kill execution style three cops, even though it motivated a gentleman in Dallas to kill five cops execution style, it's a beautiful movement.
	Never mind what used to be called the Ferguson effect, now it's called the Minneapolis effect.
	And these are cops admitting that they pull back.
	Why be proactive?
	Why try to stop crime?
	Why try to intervene in fights?
	All you're going to do is put yourself in jeopardy of being accused of engaging in systemic racism.
	So to hell with it.
	We'll just deal with radio calls.
	It's called the Ferguson Effect.
	At least it used to be.
	Now it's called the Minneapolis Effect.
	You know what happens.
	Bad guys know it.
	And as a result, street crime goes up.

	Uh, I'm going to be here.
	The sleeper moment in this debate came at the end when Joe Biden announced the shutting down of America's oil industry.
	And I believe that's going to be the sound bite that's gonna travel.
	As I said before the debate, he had to talk to Pennsylvania and the president did.
	He talked to Pennsylvania repeatedly about fracking.
	And we're gonna see some fact checks on the vice president's record on fracking.
	But the oil industry, the return to the Paris Accords, that was an unforced error by Joe Biden that I think will resonate with a lot of middle Americans as being extreme.
	The president was very effective when he spoke directly to the black community.
	By the way, our colleague Kristen Welker did very well tonight in maintaining pace and questions.
	I kind of feel vindicated when I told Mark Meadows yesterday she would do just that.
	She ran a marvelous ship, and it's a very difficult thing to do.
	And I do believe, though, he made some ground with the African-American community and that Joe Biden got tripped up by Kristen on the prime bill, on the super predator stuff.
	You have to go check what everyone else was saying and everyone else was saying.
	Donald Trump won.
	He wasn't going away because a debate, like a football game, goes until the whistle blows at the end.

	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager.
	Let me take as many calls as I can in this final segment.
	Nick in Palm Beach, Florida.
	Hello.
	Good.
	Just curious what you think.
	Down for the count, sick for a week, fevers, everything, you name it.
	Tested COVID positive.
	Doctor prescribed hydroxychloroquine and the Z-Pak.
	Took the first two pills last night at 8 o'clock with the Z-Pak as well.
	I bounced out of bed this morning at 6 a.m., made coffee, let the dogs out, get a load of laundry.
	I feel like I've never even had this.
	I was down and out for a week.
	An open-minded, caring doctor.
	The number of closed-minded, politically obsessed doctors who have a mission to stop people from being helped by hydroxychloroquine.
	The number of these doctors is in thousands, maybe tens of thousands.
	The medical profession has disgraced itself.
	The epidemiological profession has disgraced itself.
	There are some great people in both professions.
	Doctors saved my lives.
	I'm not a fool.
	I understand the incredible value of doctors.
	But as a profession, it is as praiseworthy as lawyers.
	Joseph, Minneapolis.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I'm a little bit uncertain of your theory about The world leaders who do not want to be held accountable for the number of deaths, and here's why.
	Historically, I can't think of anyone who's ever been pointed out, for instance, Woodrow Wilson.
	You know, the number of Americans who died from the Spanish food, nobody looks back and says, well, it's Woodrow Wilson's fault, you know.
	That's right, they don't.
	But wait, you're living in a time.
	Doesn't every Democrat?
	Every.
	Blame Donald Trump for 200-plus thousand deaths in the United States?
	Yes, so it's political.
	It's not the individual, and they're addressing to an agenda.
	It's not just political.
	Yes, it is partially.
	You're right, it is.
	That is correct.
	It is largely political, but not only.
	But yes, it is largely political.
	That is correct.
	And so leaders...
	But it's not only political.
	It's largely.
	But it's 80% political, 20% it's the fear of the leaders themselves.
	That I don't want to be held responsible for people dying.
	We live in the age of no leaders.
	That's just the way it is.
	Donald Trump is a leader.
	You may hate him.
	You may love him.
	He is a leader.
	Because he doesn't give a damn what people say about him, and that is a profound characteristic of leadership.
