	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Already I have begun with a controversial statement.
	Do you realize that?
	Ladies and gentlemen is not said any longer on many airlines.
	It is not boys and girls.
	It is not said at schools.
	Ladies and gentlemen is not said on the tube in England.
	Not said on the New York subway.
	The hate that is inherent to saying, ladies and gentlemen, because you are excluding people who do not have either a female or male identity.
	The number of people to whom that applies is so infinitesimally small as to render the objection to it absurd.
	Really totalitarian.
	Because he who controls the language controls the culture.
	So, I just wanted you to know the inherent drama, not to mention immorality, of my saying, ladies and gentlemen, one more word about that.
	I said inherent drama.
	One of the ways to understand people on the left, I'm not talking liberals, I'm talking left, Make that clear every day.
	Is their love of drama.
	Do you have a drama queen or a drama king in your family?
	If you do, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
	People who loathe calm.
	Right?
	That's what a drama queen is.
	A person who is literally rendered mad.
	When things are calm, so they must stir up drama to feel alive.
	That's the drama queen.
	That's the left.
	This country was too calm.
	Incredibly blessed.
	The vast majority of its citizens getting along with one another.
	Every race, creed, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation.
	But that is exactly what drives these people, the drama queens of our society, crazy.
	Do you accept that analysis, Mr. Producer?
	It makes perfect sense.
	Calm?
	For most people, calm is calming.
	For a certain percentage of society, calm is calming.
	Is tension-inducing.
	I feel dead.
	That's what it is.
	I feel dead.
	When there are no riots, no systemic change.
	Oh, my God.
	The very love of change is part of that nature.
	Right?
	If things are pretty, pretty good, why do you want to change them?
	Because you're bored.
	You're dead inside without change.
	And that was right.
	Hope and change.
	The most incredible motto of a presidential campaign in my lifetime.
	Hope and change was such a giveaway.
	You really mean most Americans needed a message of hope?
	The freest, most affluent society in human history needed a message of hope?
	Ah, but what about those who have not benefited from that?
	They have inherent hope too.
	Most of these people can change their own lives without changing society.
	I'm all for change.
	Personal change!
	It's a very different change, isn't it?
	Go to work.
	Work hard.
	Be responsible.
	Don't get pregnant if you're not married.
	Don't impregnate anyone if you're not married.
	Go to church each week.
	Learn wisdom.
	Get much more wisdom from the Bible than from the secular alternatives.
	But that's boring.
	Self-change.
	Want to change the society.
	See, I'm preoccupied with many things.
	One of them is analyzing the Bolsheviks in our midst.
	You know, I've now realized I prefer to call them Bolsheviks than Communists.
	I'll tell you why.
	The left is a minority in America.
	Liberals and left are perhaps a majority.
	If the last presidential election would be the barometer.
	How did the Bolsheviks take over if they were a minority?
	Well, I'll tell you an interesting story that you probably don't know.
	How did they get the name?
	This was a brilliant Lenin tactic, and the left has used it to its benefit to this day.
	They own the language.
	In Russia in 1917, The year of the Russian revolutions, there were two of them.
	One was overthrowing the Tsar.
	The other, let's see, March and October.
	So the other one was a half year later, and that was overthrowing the first revolution to create a communist revolution.
	The people who did the overthrowing, the leaders of the left, there were two groups, Bolsheviks and Mensheviks.
	Now here's the kicker.
	Bolshevik means majority Nick.
	You ever heard of the Bolshoi Ballet?
	It comes from the same root.
	Bolshoi means big in Russian.
	So the Bolsheviks were the majority Nicks.
	The Mensheviks were the minority Nicks.
	But the Mensheviks were in the majority.
	It's literally the opposite of reality.
	So, that was the...
	Everything that took place in the Russian Revolution, almost not everything, but virtually everything, or much of it, is being replicated today.
	Where you have the...
	What is it?
	What are they called?
	The women in the...
	In the Democratic Party, Ilhan Omar and the others, what are they called again?
	The squad?
	No.
	It is the squad?
	So the squad wants to be the Bolsheviks.
	They are Bolsheviks.
	And the universities are run by Bolsheviks.
	And the...
	Twitter is run by a Bolshevik.
	These people do not represent the majority of Americans by any means.
	It's not even close.
	If you took a secret ballot, how many of you think that an airplane should not say ladies and gentlemen?
	Because there might be someone on board who doesn't think that it is either or they are either a lady or a gentleman.
	What do you think the vote would be in America?
	Do you know that the votes in California, the most left-wing state in the country, if you were to take the governorship and the assembly and the senate of the state as examples,
	do you know that they, I'm amazed, Californians rejected A proposition that would have reinstated affirmative action.
	I was shocked.
	To give you an idea how little the Bolsheviks are in America, that is a great example.
	In California, they rejected affirmative action.
	Yet if you reject affirmative action at a university, if any professor said that's wrong, we have to be race-blind, that person would be ostracized if not fired from the university, because Bolsheviks run the universities.
	Maumee High School outside of Toledo...
	I said Maumee.
	Maumee High School outside of Toledo said, you know what?
	Pick a Prager University video and write something on it for extra credit so that you get the other side, all sides of an issue.
	One woman, one woman took her daughter out of class and the high school completely buckled.
	No more PragerU videos at Maumee High School.
	That was supported by the Toledo Blade.
	They wrote a whole editorial.
	On PragerU video being shown at a high school.
	Because the woman is a Bolshevik.
	It's Veterans Day.
	God bless you veterans.
	Talk about that too.
	1-8 Prager 776. This is Owen Strand for townhall.com.
	In the film No Country for Old Men, a sheriff played by Tommy Lee Jones recounts a dream.
	He saw his father riding a horse going on ahead to make a fire somewhere out in all that dark and all that cold.
	And I knew that whenever I got there, he'd be there.
	The Coen Brothers film wasn't political, but these words resonate today.
	Hopelessness abounds, lockdowns continue, marriages suffer, children languish, and politics divide.
	Many years ago, a wise man said to his followers that they should love their neighbor.
	Christ's words promised to galvanize us in the wake of a bitter election.
	We must love our neighbor in divided days.
	We should not fall prey to hate or insufferability.
	We should go on ahead and make a fire somewhere in the dark and work to prepare a better country for our children and for citizens yet to be born.

	David is in Tampa, Florida.
	David, you're on The Larry Elder Show.
	Yeah, Larry, I used to believe in...
	I don't have free and fair elections, but at this point, I don't.
	I mean, Trump was just elected in the biggest landslide in the history of this country.
	He received more votes in this election on Tuesday than any presidential candidate has ever received up until now, up until, of course, Joe Biden.
	So Trump won the state of Florida by over a million.
	He got over a million more votes than he did.
	Four years ago in the state of Florida.
	Am I to believe that Joe Biden, who can't draw more than 10 people to his rallies, can actually receive 800,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton did four years ago?
	This is an atrocity, and the American people are not going to stand for this.
	At the end of the day, they've stolen this.
	130...
	138,339 ballots show up in the middle of the night at 4 a.m.
	in Michigan, and all of a sudden Joe Biden leaves it?
	122,000 show up in the state of Wisconsin in the middle of the night at 4 a.m., and all of a sudden now he leaves it?
	He was up by over 700,000 votes in the state of Pennsylvania, and miraculously, they're just finding just enough, just like Al Franken found in 2008 in the Minnesota Senate race.
	And David, imagine if the shoe were on the other foot.
	Imagine if all of a sudden...
	Things were reversed.
	Those guys went to bed.
	The American people would not.
	Yeah, those guys went to bed on election night thinking that they won Pennsylvania and they wake up and all of a sudden their guy is losing.
	losing, they would be going absolutely crazy.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Birka.
	The new Trump voters, the newly minted Trump voters are prepared to, you know, load the magazines, man the barricades, What does that mean about the state of the conservative movement to you, if that is a trend?
	Well, I think it's telling about the shift that's happened in recent years, which is, and we saw this, you know, throughout maybe the Brett Kavanaugh fight, a number of other fights that happened in recent years.
	Where perhaps old guard conservatives, the kind of voices that are speaking from the mountaintop, would say, oh, well, let's let this one go, you know, that kind of thing.
	They were willing to accede to a loss with honor, which is not honorable, in my opinion.
	But anyway, that kind of...
	Aspect of the movement, they're still around, but that's not the attitude of the newer, younger people who view this as more of a confrontational moment.
	And I think that that's a big tell about the future of conservatism in the country, which is not going to shy away from Confrontational culture war issues.
	It's going to call things as they see them.
	They're not going to be deferred at all by the media in a way that makes them not call socialism socialism.
	And that's not something that's going to go away.
	And neither is the president.
	Donald Trump is not going away, everybody.
	There's this mythical idea.
	There's this mythical idea.
	You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Glad you are.
	There's a lot to say here.
	A lot to say.
	1-8 Prager 776. And I'm just reconnecting, my friends.
	Forgive me.

	Cool.
	Glad you agree with me.
	Veterans Day today, and you wonder, how does the left view people who have served?
	I mean, it's a very fair question.
	If the country is truly rotten, which is the left's view of the country, not liberals' view.
	Liberals just wimp out and vote left, but they don't share the left's views.
	So, why celebrate veterans?
	They served a systemically racist society, correct?
	I'm sure in any event, leftists are not going gung-ho for Veterans Day.
	But even Memorial Day, Veterans Day salutes veterans, Memorial Day salutes those who died serving the country.
	What did these people fight for?
	Do you know, I asked Howard Zinn, one of the original Bolsheviks, he came on this show, the man whose mendacious volume, what is it, A People's History of the United States, which is used in so many schools.
	They won't show five minutes of a Prager video, but they will use a Howard Zinn book for a The reason is obvious.
	Five minutes can undo a semester.
	You know, our original motto was, give us five minutes, we'll give you a semester.
	I have a variation on that theme.
	Give us five minutes, we'll undo your semester.
	That's really true.
	And they know that.
	That is why always, absolutely always, where the left is in charge, they suppress speech.
	The great antidote to Bolshevism is free speech.
	And they know it.
	So happy Veterans Day, meaningful Veterans Day to all of you who have served.
	I wonder what enrollment is like these days in the armed forces in the United States.
	Is it up?
	Is it down?
	Is it the same?
	I wonder how much of the left has seeped into the military.
	Do they all have to undergo a critical race thinking at their base?
	In fact, the military is known for exemplary interracial relations.
	Is that correct?
	Yes.
	Chicago, Tom.
	Dennis Prager, hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	How are you?
	I'm fine.
	Thank you.
	Dennis, I'm a first-time caller.
	I've been listening to you for years.
	Love your show.
	Great.
	I was calling because I was listening to your monologue regarding the left and how they meet excitement.
	They're just bored.
	It's their soul, and they're not happy when things are calm.
	And it got me to thinking about what I've learned about children of adult alcoholics.
	These are children that grew up in homes where the adult was an alcoholic.
	And one of the traits that they have is that just what you described is they need excitement because they grew up in such a tumultuous type of environment that even as they grow up, They're not happy unless there's some type of chaos in their life.
	I never heard that, and it's very interesting.
	How do you know this?
	From personal experience.
	Wait, so, excuse me, you're the child of an alcoholic?
	Yes.
	Are you a drama queen?
	No.
	I've worked hard.
	Interesting.
	I've grown up, and it took a lot of work, but I brought it back.
	When I was a kid, I probably was.
	But the other thing that I listened to what you mentioned is that when you think about the Bolsheviks and the Russians, they do tend to like their vodka.
	Right, and therefore?
	Therefore, a lot of adult alcoholics.
	Yeah, no, I have no...
	Well, that's a crisis in Russia.
	It's always been.
	Alcohol is a national crisis in Russia.
	That's correct.
	No, thank you.
	My theory on the drama queen element makes perfect sense.
	Conservatives love calm.
	Right?
	I mean, you may say you were wrong.
	There should be tumult.
	But at least you can't deny my analysis.
	Leftists, by definition, love tumult.
	And people on the right, by definition, love calm.
	So the left's answer to that phenomenon is, oh, of course you like it calm because you have it so good.
	So you don't want to rock the boat of your privilege.
	That's their answer.
	Get it?
	However, there are so many privileged people who love tumult.
	The number of rich leftists is probably greater than the number of rich conservatives.
	How many billionaire leftists can you name?
	Virtually every billionaire's name you know.
	How many billionaire conservatives can you name?
	Think about it.
	How many?
	There's no comparison.
	So the issue isn't, oh, we're privileged.
	And what about all the middle class and lower middle class conservatives?
	How do you explain that?
	Why don't they want tumult?
	So this has to do a lot with nature and nurture.
	There are people who are born with a nature that wishes to disturb, that is disturbed and finds disturbance the best possible state.
	It's a very, obviously, it's such a problem that it could crush our society.
	We have had it very good.
	We have had it calm.
	When people look back at the 50s, that's what they hate is the calm.
	The boring.
	That's what they call it.
	That's it.
	Isn't that true?
	They call the 50s boring because the 50s had very few riots.
	The 50s, you know, see the USA in your Chevrolet.
	The great issues for many Americans were, will I be able to get a dishwasher?
	That's a great invention.
	This drives people on the left crazy.
	Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	Why is it that there was a 1778% increase in voter registrations for voters over the age of 90 in Pennsylvania in the midst of a pandemic?
	I'm just asking questions.
	That's all we're doing here.
	And I think you guys can draw your own conclusions because you're pretty smart.
	But who else is asking these questions?
	Why is the Department of Justice not actually investigating all of this?
	How are there 100% of ballots that were dropped just for Joe Biden in Michigan?
	And so I have a lot of people that are emailing us and they say, we will win, we will win.
	I hope you're right.
	But don't be blinded by your own optimism, everybody.
	It's going to take you to do something about it.
	There are some very, very powerful, sinister and malevolent forces at play here.
	The only way we win this is if we rise up in record numbers.
	And our lawmakers actually start representing us, and the Department of Justice does something about this.
	Maybe it'll happen.
	Maybe it won't.
	I'm not just going to be completely and totally, you know, 100% cynical.
	But I will say that if we do not contest the fraud that is so clearly happening in front of us with all of this evidence, and this is not an exhaustive list, everybody.
	I just have, I have...
	Page after page after page after page of irregularities and people saying they were backdating ballots and postal service problems and voting locations that have gone down and irregularities and counties that really surprised counties that are not behaving the same as they should as we have here.
	I mean, there's a really good case.
	And some of you are saying, well, won't that stand up in a court of law?

	Biden is not officially or legally or in any way the president-elect.
	President Trump is challenging the results.
	The courts are going to make a determination.
	Only when the courts determine The outcome, can anybody talk about the president-elect or the president being re-elected?
	That's a fact.
	Here was South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who I am really, really liking more and more.
	Every time I hear this woman speak, every time I hear her represent the state of South Dakota...
	I get more inspired.
	Here she was with George Stephanopoulos over the weekend on ABC. But the other thing that I think is going on here, George, is that this is all premature.
	This is a premature conversation because we have not finished counting votes.
	There are states that have not been called.
	And back in 2000, Al Gore was given his day in court.
	We should give President Trump his day in court.
	Let the process unfold.
	Because, George, we live in a republic.
	We are a government that gets its power from the consent of the governed.
	That is the people.
	They give their consent on Election Day.
	Election Day needs to be fair, honest, and transparent.
	And we need to be sure that we had an honest election before we decide who gets to be in the White House the next four years.
	Any evidence that it wasn't an honest election?
	You had a tweet earlier this week saying it was rigged.
	Do you have any evidence at all of widespread fraud?
	I've spoken with Republican secretaries of state in Georgia, in Arizona.
	I've spoken with Republican officials across the country.
	They have come up with zero evidence of widespread fraud.
	And that is not true.
	That is absolutely not true.
	People have signed legal documents, affidavits, stating that they saw illegal activities.
	And that is why we need to have this conversation in court.

	My friends, hi. .
	Georgia will have a hand recount because the difference is so minuscule between the two presidential candidates.
	Nearly 5 million, 4.9 million votes, and the difference is 14,000.
	More than 4.9 million ballots in Georgia.
	14,000.
	What is the percentage?
	I mean, that's really...
	That's small almost anywhere.
	14,000 votes.
	Of course, everybody knows that if, in fact, a recount resulted in declaring President Trump re-elected, There would be vast rioting in the country.
	See?
	We don't riot.
	Our side doesn't riot.
	Isn't that interesting?
	So, how do you explain that?
	Remember the mass fury when Donald Trump was elected in 2016?
	We're going into resistance.
	We won't visit on Thanksgiving if our parents or siblings voted for Trump.
	One rabbi in the San Francisco area made a mockery of Judaism and actually went into Shiva, which is the seven days of mourning when an immediate relative dies, because the left has poisoned Judaism just as it has poisoned Christianity.
	Remember, I played for you the rabbi who, what is it, Yom Kippur or Rosh Hashanah?
	He chanted.
	It's the two holiest days of the Jewish calendar.
	He was on Zoom, so I saw it.
	And New Jersey in a Reformed temple.
	He chanted, instead of the words of the prophets, he chanted the words of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
	If Onion, the Onion, or who's that other, the great, I'm sorry?
	Yeah, the Babylon Bee, which is just hilarious.
	If they had put this out, everybody would have laughed.
	The mockery that Rabbi made of Judaism, like the one on the West Coast, they don't even realize that they are a caricature.
	Of religion.
	It's like the stripper for Christ.
	I don't know if you remember that.
	Yeah, how could you forget it, said Sean.
	I know exactly what awakens him.
	It's very predictable.
	These are buffoons.
	The rabbi sits Shiva, sings Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
	I don't even say their names because...
	My intent is not to humiliate them.
	They've done a good enough job with themselves.
	And I want to show that I'm not vindictive.
	My intent is not to hurt them.
	My intent is to protect Judaism and Christianity.
	By the way, talking about Judaism and Christianity, a truly Jewish giant of scholarship and teaching Shockingly just died, Jonathan Sachs.
	He was the chief rabbi of Britain for many years.
	He was a member of the House of Lords, so he was Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sachs.
	I didn't know this, but there is a video of me interviewing him and having a dialogue with him a number of years ago in Canada.
	And we should put it up.
	I think people would find it fascinating.
	It was made for and by Chabad, the Jewish organization, and we were at the retreat in Whistler for Passover.
	We were the two speakers.
	I was really stunned when I heard that he died, even though he was ill.
	What does it say in the Bible?
	Isn't there a line, do not believe in yourself until the day of your death?
	Did you ever hear that phrase?
	No?
	I know it in Hebrew, so I assume it's from the Bible, but I'm not certain.
	You see, in other words, nobody knows.
	Nobody knows.
	So, don't be cocky.
	Death is humbling.
	What is it?
	There's a Persian saying, at the end of the chess game, the king and the pawns go into the same box.
	Isn't that a great saying?
	People don't talk about death.
	It's the Ernest Becker theory of the denial of death.
	It's an interesting thing.
	I wonder if people spoke about it more in the Middle Ages because it was so much more ubiquitous.
	Be that as it may.
	May he rest in peace.
	And...
	Interesting call.

	Donald Trump is not going away, everybody.
	There's this mythical idea among all of his haters in the media that, oh, we don't have to pay attention to him if we get him out of the White House.
	Well, you may be able to finagle your way into that, but this is not a situation where that voice is going away in any way, shape, or form.

	Jack in Redding, Pennsylvania.
	Hey, Jack.
	Hey, Hugh.
	A couple things.
	First of all, I was an observer here in Bucks County and we had the exact same experience Philadelphia had.
	You stood in an anteroom looking through a window about 15 feet from what was going on.
	All you saw were a pile of envelopes.
	That's all.
	The only thing, the only way you would have seen anything irregular was if somebody came in with a sack full of ballots on which was written in very large type.
	You know, Fed Biden voters.
	Other than that, you knew absolutely nothing.
	You don't see signatures.
	You don't see postmarks.
	Nothing.
	You just see piles and piles of envelopes.
	With people opening them and scanning the documents.
	You have no idea what's going on other than that.
	So you think observer is a misnomer.
	It's not really observing.
	It's fake observing.
	Yeah.
	It was really a waste of time.
	other than other than you know spending some time with some other Republicans who you know I enjoy talking to it was it was a total waste of five hours hi everybody Let me go back to Dennis Prager.
	Back to Gainesville, Florida, which is near High Springs and Beverlyville.

	Nicanope is south and High Springs is north.
	Excellent.
	Now I know where you are.
	Okay.
	Anyway, I knew Gainesville.
	It's too big for you to bluff me.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Take it away.
	It's a pleasure to talk to you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	I had some happy news I wanted to share because yesterday in the podcast I was listening to this morning, you were talking about all the people who were stressed out in their families because of the Republican-Democrat divide and all.
	And I have a sister who's five years.
	Younger than me, and she's the feeling part of the family, and I'm the analytical part of the family.
	Although I was leaning hard left until I was in my mid-30s, when I started looking at the issues, I turned Republican.
	And in January, I was talking to my sister about the upcoming election, and she was very negative about Trump and how could anybody and, you know, the whole thing.
	And we would try to talk a little bit, and she would say, we can't talk about this.
	And I'd say, well, I can talk about it.
	If you can't talk about it, that's okay.
	But if you want to, I can talk about it.
	And she's a smart lady, and every now and then she would say something, and I would answer with some sort of a tidbit of fact, you know, something that actually happened, like the tax money coming back.
	The black unemployment or, you know, just some little tidbit like that and not push it or anything.
	And then I would, you know, send her a text with a link to your show or Dennis Prager.
	PragerU?
	Yeah, any kind of a...
	Ben Shapiro?
	Yeah, Ben Shapiro.
	Right.
	That I listen to.
	And go on.
	In November, we were talking again, and I was like, well, how are you, Lena?
	And she said, well, I've got to vote for Trump, and I just about fell over dead.
	And then I talked to her just after.
	She said she had voted, and I said, well, how did you do down-ballot?
	So in a sentence, what did it?
	All the things you sent her?
	Well, just that I didn't push her very hard, and I trusted that she was smart, and I kept the communication line open.
	And I got her to listen to something other than... CNN and NPR.
	All right, look, I'm very happy for you.
	I'm happy for the country, and I'm happy for you.
	These intrafamily rifts are very awful.
	The worst, of course, are between spouses.
	You see, the difference is not just a values difference.
	There's a psychological difference.
	That's why I spent a good chunk of this hour analyzing the love of drama that is inherent to the left and has always been.
	They hate calm.
	They think calm means no moral progress.
	But that's what they attach to their inner...
	Nature rebelling at calm.
	I revel in calm.
	As I've said to you in my self-revealing comments, I've said, and obviously I don't know how I would react under the circumstance, but I think if I would be on a plane that was going down, the screaming would...
	Disorient me more than the plane going down.
	The panic.
	I would hope.
	I'm not sure I would do it.
	Nobody knows.
	I would hope that I would get up and read Psalm 23 for the people in the airplane.
	It's a bizarre thing.
	I don't think most people think, how would I react if I were on a plane going down?
	But I think about it, not because I know what I would do.
	I might be screaming myself.
	But I... I know what I hate is panic.
	And the left is the world of panic.
	There's always something horrific from the past, and there's always a future that's horrific that they alone can stop.
	The shutdown is what they have done.
	Do you know what I'm going to...
	Read this later in the show, but I want to give you a headline.
	Associated Press.
	November 9th.
	What is today?
	The 11th.
	From London.
	Some young children have forgotten how to eat with a knife and fork.
	This is the Associated Press, folks.
	This is not a right-wing source.
	And others have regressed back.
	It's redundant.
	The writing is just deteriorating as the schools don't teach grammar and language.
	They teach anti-racism.
	And others have regressed into diapers.
	As the coronavirus pandemic and related school closures take a toll on young people's learning, the UK education watchdog said Tuesday.
	I will read to you more of that later.
	Why didn't kids go to school in the UK? The same stupid reason they didn't go here.
	The panic mongers have won, even affecting conservative leaders.

	Wait a minute.
	Why?
	If we saw voter fraud, if we have examples of voter fraud, why wouldn't that work out?
	And you're saying the states have that much power.
	Well, a couple things.
	Here's what can happen.
	States do have almost all the power, but the federal government's not just an innocent bystander.
	The DOJ can come in and prosecute voter fraud, and they should.
	The DOJ Civil Rights Division can come and investigate whether or not there was widespread shenanigans.
	Remember, state officials can be investigated as well.
	Here's the thing is that these county recorders have gone to jail before.
	Vote counters go to jail.
	That's not above...
	You know, the DOJ can go do that.
	And so that's what I... Don't you think that they will and had better do that for the sake of the nation?
	I don't know what Bill Barr is doing, Eric, okay?
	I don't know where the Durham report is.
	I don't know where the indictments are.
	I don't know why Antifa people aren't being arrested.
	And I don't know why the DOJ is not going into these states.
	And at least we have eyes on you, okay?
	I don't know what, because I'm going to tell you right now, the Michigan, you know, election security division is not going to prosecute any of that.
	So here's what can happen, though.
	If the DOJ starts to open up a lot of these cases, it makes it a lot easier for the Trump campaign to then file a lawsuit with a circuit court judge or a federal judge outside of the DOJ, so then the judge can get involved in exactly what can happen.
	Now, judges have almost unilateral power in these elections, okay?
	The judges are the final voice.
	Now, if the Democrats in Michigan don't like it, they can appeal to the Supreme Court.
	They might just kick it back down to the federal court.
	For example, if the DOJ starts to make a case in Michigan that there's a lot of voter fraud and voter cheating, the Trump campaign's already filed a lawsuit in Michigan.

	I'm sorry.
	Professor, how does this end?
	Well, you know, look, so here's the problem.
	We're all focused on the counts.
	And it looks like President Trump may lose Georgia to Joe Biden because of the count coming out of Atlanta.
	And then he may well lose Pennsylvania because of the count coming out of Philadelphia.
	I think he's going to pick up Arizona, but he may well lose Nevada out of the count coming out of Clark County.
	But the problem is the significant trigger event was not the count, but the verification of which ballots were legitimately cast in order to be counted.
	And Republicans in a lot of those jurisdictions were blocked out of the verification process.
	The signature verification process, the legitimacy of the absentee ballots that have been collected and harvested, and oftentimes in violation of state law.
	But once that threshold decision had been done, and the ballot is separated from the envelope that allowed you to verify the legitimacy of the ballot, then you can't unravel the question of whether those votes were, which votes were illegitimate and passed, or who they were...
	Yep, it's a good one. it's a good one.
	An important one.
	I'm Dennis Prager and John in Piatone, if that's how you pronounce it, Illinois.
	Hi.
	It is.
	Great.
	It is.
	Hi.
	You wanted to know what kind of people we're getting in the military these days, and I will tell you on the enlisted side, military's pretty big about, you know, you don't get in unless you're cleaned.
	Snowflakes do not get past the military.
	They just don't.
	Now, you should understand that anybody that is a bird colonel on up is a political appointee.
	So they can be one way or the other.
	But at the enrollment, the enlisted side, if you got in, you're clean.
	And what about the numbers?
	Are as many applying?
	Well, you know what?
	It's relatively peacetime.
	There hasn't been a demand for enrollment into the military like there used to be during the conflicts, you know, during the Obama days.
	So it's getting...
	And I don't want to make it political, but that's what it is.
	But it's filling to the numbers that are needed.
	Yes.
	Okay, great.
	Thank you very much.
	Nice to hear that.
	Ellen in Cypress, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	In response to your question, why do they riot?
	And I think you meant the left.
	I said the left.
	Probably liberals too.
	But I've always thought that it's because we're the adults.
	It seems like it's...
	They are the ones that don't grow up like little children.
	That is correct.
	I'm sorry to let you go, but that is a major point, and I have a little time.
	But that is exactly right.
	That is why one of the great left-right differences is people on the left have problems.
	People on the right have problems.
	People on the left blame America.
	People on the right blame life or themselves.
	Which is correct.
	Life is filled with problems, whether you live in America or the South Pole.
	That's just the way it is.
	That is entirely accurate about the maturity aspect.
	And, well, that's part of the reason that people on the left adulate youth.
	People on the right do not.
	People on the right try to impart wisdom to youth.
	People on the right try to train youth to be adults.
	It is a good thing to grow up.
	I talked about this yesterday.
	When I was a kid, you wanted to be a grown-up.
	That was the term for adult.
	It's not used today because people don't grow up.
	You think the rioters are grown-ups?
	If you took 50 of them off the street and met them, you think you'd be impressed with them as people?
	Trending now on The Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Jack in Reading, Pennsylvania.
	Hey, Jack.
	Hey, Hugh.
	A couple things.
	First of all, I was an observer here in Bucks County, and we had the exact same experience Philadelphia had.
	You stood in an anteroom looking through a window about 15 feet from what was going on, or you saw a pile of envelopes.
	That's all.
	The only way you would have seen anything irregular So you think observer is a misnomer.
	It's not really observing.
	It's fake observing.
	Yeah, it was really a waste of time.
	Other than, you know, spending some time with some other Republicans who, you know, I enjoy talking to, it was a total waste of five hours.
	Thank you much.
	Jack, that's my view, but I think Philadelphia, the reason that the federal court ordered it is because it wasn't transparent, and now it is.
	And Andrea Mitchell made the argument last night that it didn't really matter.
	They were just trying to protect people from COVID.
	But Jack just made the argument the difference between 20 feet in a window and 6 feet with a line of sight is significant.
	The only thing I've seen is an allegation by my friend Rick Grinnell that they have 3,000 instances of fraudulent voting.
	I have not seen that.
	I've seen the allegation.
	I haven't seen the evidence.

	If the ballot threshold decision had been done and the ballot is separated from the envelope that allowed you to verify the legitimacy of the ballot, then you can't unravel the question of whether those votes were illegitimate and cast or who they were cast for.
	And so unless the court would be willing to step in in Pennsylvania and say, because we can't determine, we know that there were illegitimate votes cast, but we can't determine which way they went.
	And therefore we can't invalidate the election unless the court is willing to invalidate the election as it did two years ago in North Carolina when there was the illegal ballot harvesting that was conducted.
	So you believe that when all the challenges, let's just stick to Pennsylvania for a moment, when all the legal challenges are exhausted, the U.S. Supreme Court will not likely even pick up the case.
	I think that's right.

	So George, I don't know how widespread it is.
	I don't know if it'll change the outcome of the election.
	But why is everybody so scared just to have a fair election and find out?
	We gave Al Gore 37 days to run the process before we decided who was going to be president.
	Why would we not afford the 70...
	0.6 million Americans that voted for President Trump, the same consideration.
	If Joe Biden really wants to unify this country, he would wait and make sure that we can prove we had a fair election.
	Wow.
	And there's nothing that George Stephanopoulos can really say to that.
	You see, here's the thing.
	George Stephanopoulos doesn't get to determine the outcome.
	The courts do.
	Everybody gets their day in court, and that includes Donald Trump.
	And the Trump campaign.
	And they want this debate, the Stephanopoulos of the world, the media mob, they all want us to be screaming.

	Yeah, for a year subscription.
	That's pretty cheap.
	Yeah.
	My producer says you can't get cheaper than that.
	Well, you can.
	It could be $4 a month, but your point is accurate.
	You didn't mean it literally.
	I always come to his defense, ladies and gentlemen.
	This is what I do.
	I attack him, and then I come to his defense.
	That is really wrong.
	That is morally wrong of me.
	Male-female hour is the most honest hour I know of in the media with regard to men and women, and there are reasons for that.
	As I remind you almost weekly, I'm not a man fan, and I am not a woman fan.
	Okay?
	I'm a good person fan, and that's it.
	So I truly, and I think all of you who have listened to the male-female hour would acknowledge there is zero bias in my show.
	Because my agenda is that we understand each other better and get along better.
	That's it.
	I try to explain both sexes to the other.
	In fact, both sexes to themselves.
	Well, today's topic was last visited.
	It's painful for me to say, because it shows how long we've been enduring this.
	It was done in March.
	This is November.
	Three from eleven is eight.
	Eight months ago.
	I asked, how is the lockdown to the extent that you have observed it?
	And everybody has observed it to some extent.
	I mean, there's just no way around it.
	It's the first year of my life since I was twenty.
	That I am not going abroad, for example.
	I'm traveling today, I'm going to Utah, but I, much less, much, I mean, in Cabra, I go somewhere every week.
	So, even though I have had people over from the beginning, I have gone to Fred's homes from the beginning, I have observed nothing about it, nothing, zero.
	I have opted for as normal a life as possible.
	Because I am not scared.
	Simple as that.
	Quality of life is, to me, supreme.
	I don't have the Andrew Cuomo attitude.
	Everything that we have done is worth it if it just saves one life.
	So everybody has experienced it, as I said, even I, to a certain extent.
	So here's the question that I last asked you in March, a long time ago.
	And that is, how has it affected your marriage, or if you're with a significant other, your relationship?
	That's my question.
	1-8 Prager 776-877.
	You know, let's have a little happiness here.
	Play me an 877 jingle.
	We haven't done this in a very long time.
	Oh great!
	Perfect.
	Amazing because he has taken so many lives with his policy, but I don't want to get into that now because that's not the subject.
	So call me and tell me.
	I'm very curious.
	This is one of those hours wherein I react to you more than you react to me.
	What has happened in your relationship?
	I have no idea, by the way.
	I have truly no idea what...
	The general reactions have been.
	Has it brought people closer together?
	Has it alienated people from one another?
	Has it led to tension?
	Has it been a great time to discover the other?
	What has happened in your intimate life?
	I don't know.
	I truly...
	Normally, I have an intuition.
	Do you have an intuition?
	Living martyr, do you?
	If you...
	Right, you too.
	Isn't that interesting?
	We just don't know.
	Anything is possible.
	I could see it being a bonding thing.
	Oh, you know, we really have time to discover each other.
	People have told you that.
	And it could be the opposite.
	People have told you the opposite.
	So I don't know what to expect when I take your calls on this one.
	I don't know about this familiarity breeds contempt.
	I don't find that to be...
	It's true sometimes, but it's not worthy of being a generalized truism.
	Familiarity often breeds love.
	So, you know, familiarity with the contemptible or with a person who had previously placed somebody on some pedestal, then familiarity breeds contempt.
	So, we'll find out indeed.
	Okay.
	Well, so far, the two I see do not inspire optimism.
	Alright, Columbus, Ohio, the city that will undoubtedly be renamed.
	Hello, JR. Hello, Dennis.
	I know everybody says this, but your program is so fantastic and so needed, especially in the last year.
	Thank you.
	You're very welcome.
	Yeah, it means a lot.
	Okay, so I wish I could, you know, call you up with a warm and fuzzy story about how everything's fine, but everything was okay for about the first three to five months.
	And then the stress level on both of us started to show, my wife and I, excuse me, and business suffered and then, of course, finances suffered.
	You know, now we're getting into this situation, and this has nothing to do with the election, but our governor today at 5 o'clock is going to re-shut down the state, and my children, which are 17 and 19, I call them children, but they're not.
	They're young adults.
	It is affecting them.
	I have seen a difference in my kids.
	That I have never seen before.
	And that, along with the tension with my wife, is a lot.
	And it hurts.
	It hurts.
	Where was your income from prior to the lockdown?
	Residential remodeling, which requires you to be in someone's home.
	I would think that that was still a thriving business.
	You would think so, but now everybody's getting paranoid again.
	So we were shut down for three plus months at the beginning.
	Then it built up, and now it's getting shut down again.
	Oh, God.
	Folks, I said it in March.
	I said it in April.
	The lockdown was worse than the disease.
	I was right.
	I was right.
	Brian in Pittsburgh.
	What do you think, Brian?
	Amen.
	Thank you.
	Hugh, I think the heart of the issue is people's irrational hatred for the president.
	I didn't vote for him in 2016, but I came to discover the irrationality of just hating the guy and feeling self-righteous about hating the guy.
	You know, I discovered the Russian hoax was a hoax.
	You know, I discovered the pandemic was not as it was being framed by the left-wing media.
	Until people come to grips with that, even these journalists, Chuck Todd, your buddy, he's defensive.
	No, Chuck's not defensive.
	Chuck was making a point which I should have made, which is the systemic bias is not intentional.
	And in the law, this matters.
	For example, intentional racial bias subjects whoever is committing it to penalty and to remediation.
	Unintentional consequences of inherent bias, for example, in a police exam, disparate outcomes do not subject you to penalties.
	So Chuck is talking about, yeah, we have disparate outcomes all the time, but we don't mean it.
	I believe that.
	No, right.
	I hear you.
	I understand.
	What I'm saying is this is subconscious with people.
	And it's that group herd thinking when it comes to Donald Trump.
	And it's harming us as a country.
	There is such thing as truth.
	And when we hate another person, and the hatred of Donald Trump is off the charts, we then, truth becomes a fatality.
	And this is what happens.
	This is what's happening right now.
	Appreciate you, Hugh.
	Thanks.
	When you look at what the Democrats have been saying the last couple months, when your opposition tells you what they're going to do, maybe you should believe them.
	Why we didn't have platoons of people in downtown Detroit.
	And Milwaukee waiting for these criminals, for what they've been doing.
	Just what the con job that has happened with all of a sudden we're winning by hundreds of thousands of ballots.
	They told us.
	They said it was going to be a red mirage.
	And then all of these mail-in ballots are going to come through.
	Well, what about cross-referencing voter registration, cross-referencing it with whether or not these people are alive or not?
	Let me just take a step back, though, Eric.
	And I want to just say one thing that's very positive.
	Republicans did really well.
	I mean, with all the nonsense that's happening, with the virus, the lockdowns, impeachment, the coup, all the misinformation, the disinformation, all this, we won Florida by three points.
	That was not supposed to happen.
	We are going to win North Carolina.
	We won Ohio convincingly.
	We won Iowa convincingly.
	And the Democrats spent a combined $410 million on failed races in the Senate.
	Republicans are poised to get 8 to 10 seats in the House, despite being outspent 12 to 1, Eric, 12 to 1, and insiders in the Republican House said they thought they were going to lose 10 seats.
	The DCCC has come out and they said it is a dumpster fire.
	They can't believe what's happened.
	We might flip seats in Illinois, we might flip two seats in Orange County, and we might have one of the strongest minorities Republicans have had.
	In 30 years and almost guarantee that we'll take back the house in 2022. Why is it that there was a 1,778% increase in voter registrations for voters over the age of 90 in Pennsylvania in the midst
	of a pandemic?
	I'm just asking questions.
	That's all we're doing here.
	And -- Okay, it's the male-female hour. it's the male-female hour.
	Deeply curious about what reactions.
	I will get to the question, how has the lockdown, to the extent that you've observed it, affected you?
	And everybody's been affected, and I haven't observed it at all.
	At all from the beginning.
	It's one of the reasons for my inner peace in this very difficult time.
	I've taken God's advice, who says to the human being more than any other single thing in the Bible, do not fear.
	Sure.
	That's a great piece of advice.
	The media thrive on fear.
	To say the media are irresponsible is like saying a mass murderer.
	Is not a nice guy.
	It's such an understatement.
	The media stink.
	They are utterly harmful with regard to the morals of the country.
	I don't mean sexual morals.
	I mean good and evil.
	With regard to truth, and with regard to hysteria, and with regard to panic inducement.
	The media are garbage.
	That's what they are.
	Because the left runs the media, and anything that the left runs is ruined.
	USA Today is probably the most panic-driving organ, but it's almost all tied for first.
	Just lock everything down.
	These people still have their jobs.
	The people who have jobs say with utter certitude that Others should lose their savings, their income, their dignity.
	You can eat on an airplane without a mask, two inches from the next person, but you can't eat in a restaurant in Los Angeles.
	That's right, I still can't.
	I can eat outside, which is fun when it's 95, and equally fun when it's 55. Yeah, it gets pretty cold here, believe it or not.
	At night, it was...
	High 30s, I believe, recently.
	Yeah, you shouldn't have Thanksgiving.
	What is the Newsom, the panic-mongering fool that we have for a governor?
	Truly a colossal fool.
	You should all hear the interview.
	Was it Larry Elder's interview, or was it Adam Carolla's?
	I know Adam Carolla has a fantastic interview.
	Adam Carolla.
	You should look it up.
	It is really worth your time.
	The Adam Carolla interview with Gavin Newsom when I believe he was lieutenant governor.
	He's a deep man.
	He does not call his wife his wife.
	He calls her his partner.
	And they scoop up their dog poop with a Trump bag.
	This is the level.
	Of the first couple of the state of California.
	But if you're a Democrat, you're not held to other standards.
	So anyway, it's affected people greatly.
	And I want to know how it's affected you.
	The last caller is a very sad call.
	It actually affected me.
	How over time it's caused tension in his marriage.
	And he notices changes in his teenage children.
	That are worrisome.
	And how could they not be?
	Be a teenager deprived of peers?
	To be told, you know, you might die if you go to school?
	One of the gigantic lies of the society.
	Gigantic lie.
	Sweden never closed its schools for kids under 16?
	Never.
	Not in March.
	Kids don't die from this.
	And if you send me a story of a kid who died from this, it is pointless.
	It is pointless.
	I'm making a generalization.
	Alright, let's see here.
	Melinda in Kettle Falls, Washington.
	Hello there in Kettle Falls.
	Hi Dennis.
	Hi.
	Hi Dennis.
	Hi.
	Take it away.
	So...
	So I wanted to say that my husband is amazing, but we definitely differ politically.
	And the only other time I called you was last year.
	It was the same thing, male-female hour, that we fight about politics.
	So now we're fighting about COVID every day and masks every day.
	And it's just added to the fun.
	And now, you know, with the election.
	Although I have to give him credit, he's pretty happy with the divided government, so I have to give him that if we can keep the Senate.
	But we're definitely arguing about masks and how bad the COVID is every single day.
	Do you have friends over to the house?
	Well, you know, we live on 130 acres in a rural area, and we just moved here three years ago, so I would say...
	We're both pretty not into friends.
	We're into our family and friends other places.
	We would, though.
	We definitely would.
	Okay, so I want to ask you about the family.
	When you say you're into family, do you mean your children or siblings, cousins?
	What do you mean?
	Yes, our kids have visited from D.C. over the summer.
	My brother visited from Arizona with his family over the summer.
	We've got a bunch of people in.
	Alright, well that's good.
	Well, I salute her.
	She has an upbeat attitude despite the differences with her husband.
	I don't know what's worse, political differences or COVID differences.
	But they almost always go hand in hand anyway.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Now why would that be?
	Why are conservatives far less worried about COVID than people on the left?
	And that includes liberals.
	Liberals and left have nothing in common morally and politically, but I do think they have the fear of COVID in common.
	It's an interesting question, right?
	I mean, it's not even a political question.
	It's not even an agenda question.
	It's just an insight question.
	Why is that?
	Now, the previous caller does interior remodeling.
	And people are afraid to have...
	I guess that's it.
	People are afraid to have people come into their home.
	Even if they wear a mask, I guess.
	Right?
	I find that amazing.
	We have so many people in our household.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	You should all be taking vitamin D in large doses.
	Read about it.
	It's huge, the difference between vitamin D and not vitamin D and COVID. And most of you should be on hydroxychloroquine and zinc.
	It will be shown that the opposition to it was immoral.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, Hugh, I think the heart of the issue is people's irrational hatred for the president.
	Now, I didn't vote for him in 16, but I came to discover the irrationality of just hating the guy and feeling self-righteous about hating the guy.
	You know, I discovered the Russian hoax was a hoax.
	You know, I discovered the pandemic was not as it was being framed by the left-wing media.
	Until people come to grips with that, you, even these journalists, Chuck Todd, your buddy, and he's defensive.
	People...
	No, Chuck's not defensive.
	Chuck was making a point which I should have made, which is the systemic bias is not intentional, and in the law this matters.
	For example, intentional racial bias subjects whoever is committing it to penalty and to remediation.
	Unintentional consequences of inherent bias, for example, in a police exam, does not...
	You know, disparate outcomes does not subject you to penalties.
	So Chuck is talking about, yeah, we have disparate outcomes all the time, but we don't mean it.
	I believe that.
	No, right.
	I hear you.
	I understand.
	What I'm saying is this is subconscious with people, and it's that group herd thinking when it comes to Donald Trump, and it's harming us as a country.
	There's such thing as truth.
	And when we hate another person, and the hatred of Donald Trump is off the charts, Truth becomes a fatality.
	And this is what happens.
	This is what's happening right now.
	Appreciate you, Hugh.
	Thanks.
	When you look at what the Democrats have been saying the last couple months, when your opposition tells you what they're going to do, maybe you should believe them.
	Why we didn't have platoons of people in downtown Detroit and Milwaukee waiting for these criminals, for what they've been doing.
	Just what the con job that has happened with all of a sudden we're winning by hundreds of thousands of ballots.
	They told us.
	They said it was going to be a red mirage and then all of these mail-in ballots are going to come through.
	Well, what about cross-referencing voter registration, cross-referencing it with whether or not these people are alive or not?
	Let me just take a step back, though, Eric, and I want to just say one thing that's very positive.
	Republicans did really well.
	I mean, with all the nonsense that's happening, with the virus, the lockdowns, impeachment, the coup, all the misinformation, the disinformation, all this, we won Florida by three points.
	That was not supposed to happen.
	We're going to win North Carolina.
	We won Ohio convincingly.
	We won Iowa convincingly.
	And the Democrats spent a combined $410 million on failed races in the Senate.
	Republicans are poised to get 8 to 10 seats in the House despite being outspent 12 to 1, Eric.
	12 to 1. And insiders in the Republican House said they thought they were going to lose 10 seats.
	The DCCC has come out and they said it is a dumpster fire.
	They can't believe what's happened.
	We might flip seats in Illinois, we might flip two seats in Orange County, and we might have one of the strongest minorities Republicans have had in 30 years and almost guarantee that we'll take back the House in 2022. Why is it that
	there was a 1,778% increase in voter registrations for voters over the age of 90 in Pennsylvania in the midst of a pandemic?
	I'm just asking questions.
	That's all we're doing here.
	My friends, my friends, this is the male-female hour, second hour on Wednesday.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Question is, how has the lockdown affected your relationship?
	And looking at all the lines, it seems more positive than negative.
	That's not a scientific poll by any means.
	I don't know if there are scientific polls.
	But let's go to Heather in Loganville, Georgia.
	Hello, Heather.
	Hi, Dennis.
	How you doing?
	Okay, thank you.
	I just wanted to say, my husband and I have been married for 25 years.
	We got married really young.
	And we've grown together through the years and recently became empty nesters in the fall.
	And this has actually made us much closer.
	Wow.
	And it's, you know, the way men love to provide, my husband has stepped up and provided at a level, and I'm not talking about money, I mean, he's always been working, but just that he is the one who's willing to go out anywhere and fight the man and not wear but just that he is the one who's willing to go out anywhere and fight the man and not wear a mask and do Wow.
	And he will go out and do all of the shopping and just say, I'm not wearing a mask and I'm going to fight this and, and, uh...
	Stepping up for me.
	And what have you been doing?
	Well, I'm the one who's at home tweeting and trying to get on social media and trying to pass along, you know, the word, whether it be about this COVID stuff or the election stuff.
	I'm much more about the writing about what I have a problem with.
	He's much more about the doing.
	Well, this is beautiful.
	Would you have predicted this?
	Oh, um...
	With us, yes, because we've been very close all along.
	We've been very well aligned politically, morally, everything from the beginning.
	So I did predict that since he kept his job, if we lived in a different state where the lockdown was more harsh, or if he had lost his job, it would, I imagine, be much more stressful.
	And I will say, he's been quitting smoking through all of this, and he's done spectacularly well.
	Wow.
	Well, I love the call.
	But I want to emphasize her last point.
	Had she been in a state where the lockdown, I can only imagine, and I can't tell you the anger that it fills me with, the people who have lost their businesses because of this despicable policy of lockdown.
	You tell a society, here are the facts.
	Now it is up to you to live your life.
	According to your understanding of what the risks are for you.
	Take a risk when you drive.
	You take a risk when you go out if there is COVID. If you're 80 and have a heart condition and diabetes too and are obese, you're not a candidate for roaming around town.
	Pretty much other than that.
	Look at the statistics of fatalities.
	How minuscule they are at any age group under 70. They're not even that high over 70. But they were treated like babies by the people who love to control us.
	It's not enough to give people facts.
	You have to make up stuff.
	I've known this for 30 years.
	25, 30 years.
	They didn't persuade enough people in their view to stop smoking cigarettes, so they made up the danger of secondhand smoke, which, as a fatal condition, is a gigantic lie.
	Of course, if somebody has asthma, you don't smoke in their presence.
	Fine.
	That's just common courtesy.
	We can lie for your good.
	Good.
	That's the motto.
	That was a very important point, and I thank you.
	All right, Sarasota, Florida.
	Bill, how's it going with your marriage?
	Oh, hey, how's it going, Dennis?
	Thank you so much for taking me.
	I want to add that I listen to you quite a bit, but I'm also a Democrat that listens to you quite a bit, so I just wanted to share that little bit of information.
	Well, it's to your credit.
	Thank you.
	So, yes, going into the lockdown, I would say that my wife and I were, we had some unresolved issues, and then I think getting locked together in for hours upon hours made us talk about it.
	And as I was telling your screener, I would say that we are probably at a place where we were before our children were born, and I'm very grateful for that.
	Are your children at home now?
	They are.
	So the first few months were tough, with all the homeschooling and everything.
	They're still young and in school.
	But the time together made us talk about things that we probably were ignoring.
	That's fascinating.
	Hold on.
	I have a couple more questions about the kids.
	Relieffactor.com 800-583-84 Virtually everybody I know well is taking it.
	It's really funny because it works.
	It's an amazing thing.
	Father and son, the Talbots who have made this product.
	There's nothing quite like it, apparently.
	It's designed to heal.
	It does it.
	And they have an interesting proposition.
	If it doesn't work in three weeks, it probably won't work.
	So they have a special price for a three-week dose.
	The three-week quick start is $19.95 plus shipping.
	relieffactor.com 800-500-8384 Jack
	in Redding, Pennsylvania.
	Hey, Jack.
	Hey, you.
	A couple things.
	First of all, I was an observer here in Bucks County, and we had the exact same experience Philadelphia had.
	You stood in an anteroom looking through a window about 15 feet from what was going on.
	All you saw were a pile of envelopes.
	That's all.
	The only thing, the only way you would have seen anything irregular was if somebody came in with a sack full of ballots on which was written in very large type.
	You know, dead Biden voters.
	Other than that, you knew absolutely nothing.
	You don't see signatures.
	You don't see postmarks.
	Nothing.
	You just see piles and piles of envelopes with people opening them and scanning the documents.
	You have no idea what's going on other than that.
	So you think observer is a misnomer.
	It's not really observing.
	It's fake observing.
	Yeah.
	It was really a waste of time.
	Other than, you know, spending some time with some other Republicans who, you know, I enjoy talking to, it was a total waste of five hours.
	Thank you much.
	Jack, that's my view, but I think Philadelphia, the reason that the federal court ordered it is because it wasn't transparent, and now it is.
	And Andrea Mitchell made the argument last night that it didn't really matter.
	They were just trying to protect people from COVID.
	But Jack just made the argument the difference between 20 feet in a window and 6 feet with a line of sight is significant.
	The only thing I've seen is an allegation by my friend Rick Grinnell that they have 3,000 instances of fraudulent voting.
	I have not seen that.
	I've seen the allegation.
	I haven't seen the evidence.

	Why?
	If we saw voter fraud, if we have examples of voter fraud, why wouldn't that work out?
	And you're saying the states have that much power.
	Well, a couple things.
	Here's what can happen.
	States do have almost all the power, but the federal government's not just an innocent bystander.
	The DOJ can come in and prosecute voter fraud, and they should.
	The DOJ Civil Rights Division can come and investigate whether or not there was widespread shenanigans.
	Remember, state officials can be investigated as well.
	Here's the thing.
	These county recorders have gone to jail before.
	Vote counters go to jail.
	That's not above, you know, the DOJ can go do that.
	Don't you think that they will and had better do that?
	I don't know what Bill Barr is doing, Eric.
	I don't know where the Durham report is.
	I don't know where the indictments are.
	I don't know why Antifa people aren't being arrested.
	And I don't know why the DOJ is not going into these states.
	And at least we have eyes on you.
	I don't know what, because I'm going to tell you right now, the Michigan election security division is not going to prosecute.
	My friends, this is the male-female hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
	How has the lockdown, to the extent that you've observed it, and everybody has been affected in some way, and that's the question, so where is our man?
	Let's see.
	Who was I just talking to?
	Did he hang up?
	Yeah, I guess he did.
	All right.
	Anyway, he has gotten closer.
	It's another vote for closer.
	They have...
	Wait, is it?
	No, it wasn't.
	No, it wasn't Dave.
	All right.
	Anyway.
	Oh, was it Bill in Sarasota?
	Was that you I was talking to, Bill?
	No, yes, it was.
	Okay, good.
	I'm sorry.
	I have the names up there, and I just don't remember.
	I just wanted to know about the kids.
	How old are your children?
	We have a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old.
	So, how have they been affected?
	Well, you know, much like you, I have not, and I know I've already expressed my political leaning, but much like you, we really haven't, we try to keep everything as upbeat and as quote-unquote normal as possible.
	I mean, we go out when we can.
	We've been eating out at restaurants.
	We've gone to, you know, parks and stuff like that.
	And so we've tried to keep it as normal as possible.
	We sent them back to school when we were able to.
	So they have, because I'll be honest, their psychological upbringing and emotional upbringing has been very important to me for this entire, the last eight months.
	So they've been taking it pretty well.
	And I think probably seeing mom and dad connecting more probably has had a positive effect on them as well.
	Very good.
	Okay.
	Sounds like a healthy home.
	All right.
	That's another vote for It Has Actually Been Good.
	And we go to San Antonio and Jim.
	Hello, Jim.
	Hey, Dennis.
	How are you?
	I'm well, thank you.
	Wonderful.
	It's been a negative on my personal relationship with my sister.
	The same debate.
	She's on the opposite end of the political spectrum for myself.
	And it's been six to eight months of just back-and-forth arguments about this hoax.
	I would say the disease is a hoax.
	The hysteria that the media has created is a hoax by the left.
	And she disagrees.
	She thinks it's medically based and sound because she believes what she hears from the left.
	And it's gotten to the point that our relationship is pretty much over.
	Thank you.
	And are you married?
	I am.
	And how has it affected your marriage?
	You know, that's a good question because I think it's probably helped it in a way.
	Some ways not.
	My wife and I aren't in agreement on masks, but she's conservative.
	She likes to comply and wear them when we go out to eat.
	I don't like faithless society.
	But overall, we've been at home, spent more time together, and it's probably been good on that end, on the marriage front.
	So I guess it's a negative and a positive.
	Thank you very much.
	All right.
	Well, with his sister, obviously it wasn't my original question, but I was still interested.
	But with his sister, The issue is, well, the lockdown, it precipitated their estrangement.
	All right, I'll just leave it at that.
	And let's see how other people have reacted to this.
	Jerry in Pittsburgh, hello.
	Yes.
	Thanks for taking my call, Dennis.
	Right.
	I just wanted to comment on what your question is.
	It's a big question.
	It's a big question because it leads me to other areas.
	But I'd say for the last eight months, it has...
	I don't know if it helped or hurt our marriage.
	It hasn't hurt it.
	But it has caused us to do a little bit more talking together and so forth and so on.
	I don't know if attitudes between us have changed a whole lot.
	We have been kind of on the same level as we were before the virus hit.
	It's probably more of a problem, I would say, is with the lockdown and all this craziness that goes on around it.
	And I think what a lot of this foolishness is, is when the states want to shut up, people go out of business.
	When they want to come up with these crazy things, I don't see any good numbers that support what they're talking about.
	In addition to that, I think what it does is I think it causes problems between people, between husband and wife.
	Well, that's the reason I raise this.
	Thank you very much.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I really, if I could do another...
	Which, of course, I could.
	I'd do my own show.
	But if I did a revisit of this shortly, I would ask only people who have been financially adversely affected to call in.
	I am stunned at the ignoring of these people and the 99% coverage.
	Of the COVID and the 1% coverage of the lockdown.
	And my heart breaks for people who have lost their business and their jobs and their money.
	I know such people.
	I can't tell you.
	I think about them daily because it was unnecessary.
	Always remember, you can eat without a mask, on an airplane, inches from other people.
	You can't eat in restaurants, at least in some places, where you're eight feet, ten feet from another person.
	The governor of California is just a fool.
	And the ability of him and the mayor of L.A. to ignore the horrible consequences to people's lives.
	Do you understand the risk to their lives is so much greater from the loss of their income than the possibility of their dying from COVID? Don't you have to weigh those two things?
	We'll be back.
	Trending now on the Mike Dillager Show.
	So George, I don't know how widespread it is.
	I don't know if it'll change the outcome of the election.
	But why is everybody so scared just to have a fair election and find out?
	We gave Al Gore 37 days to run the process before we decided who was going to be president.
	Why would we not afford the 70...
	0.6 million Americans that voted for President Trump, the same consideration.
	If Joe Biden really wants to unify this country, he would wait and make sure that we can prove we had a fair election.
	Wow.
	And there's nothing that George Stephanopoulos can really say to that.
	You see, here's the thing.
	George Stephanopoulos doesn't get to determine the outcome.
	The courts do.
	Everybody gets their day in court, and that includes Donald Trump.
	And the Trump campaign.
	And they want this debate.
	The Stephanopoulos of the world, the media mob, they all want us to be screaming about the election, the presidential...
	Listen, the courts are going to decide that.
	We've got no...
	I'm not giving them what they want.
	You shouldn't either.
	Let's focus on what we know to be true.
	Serenity prayer.
	Have the courage.

	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager.
	How has the lockdown affected your relationship, is the question here.
	Ben in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
	Hi.
	How's it going, Ben?
	Okay, thank you.
	I was just calling today to, you know, I don't normally call, but I listen to the show a lot.
	And among my wife and myself, it's caused a lot of depression, a lot of anxiety and fear between the both of us.
	You know, among my kids, I've got two that are, well, I have three now, because one's a month old now, and they have suffered from, like, Not being able to get out and be social.
	It's a big learning curve, I feel.
	Yes, I know that.
	I'm very sorry.
	It was obviously difficult for you to make this call.
	I suspect that Ben, who's 30, is not alone.
	You know, people in their 70s have been together 40 years.
	It may be easier.
	But young kids, middle-aged or younger, I think it could be a real issue.
	But it's very individual, obviously.
	Jennifer, Chicago, hello.
	Hi, good afternoon.
	I wanted to call just...
	To let everyone know, I don't know, reach out for help, I guess.
	But in our life, we have always put God, and early in our marriage, we've been married for 21 years, we've decided that our community would be the answer in God.
	So my husband works two jobs so that I can be involved.
	We are in Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and Knights of Columbus.
	We have four children.
	My oldest son is a Eucharistic minister.
	My daughter is an altar server.
	And I am so angry at our church.
	And so disconnected from God and our community because I cannot bring myself to be tagged and to go to church.
	I can't do it.
	And at first we were good.
	You know, we would watch on Sundays.
	We would watch our Mass on Fr.
	Bishop Erebaum.
	And then we watched our church because they went online.
	And then, you know, it just gets easy to start showing up in the pajamas.
	We'll watch it later, and then to not do it, and the angrier I got, the more depressed I got.
	All right, I'm sorry I have to let you go.
	I have warned about the effects of the lockdown as worse than the illness, and I have no joy when my original view was confirmed.
	Have a look.
	Why is it that there was a 1778% increase in voter registrations for voters over the age of 90 in Pennsylvania in the midst of a pandemic?
	I'm just asking questions.
	That's all we're doing here.
	And I think you guys can draw your own conclusions because you're pretty smart.
	But who else is asking these questions?
	Why is the Department of Justice not How are there 100% of ballots that were dropped just for Joe Biden in Michigan?
	And so I have a lot of people that are emailing us and they say, we will win, we will win.
	I hope you're right.
	But don't be blinded by your own optimism, everybody.
	It's going to take you to do something about it.
	There are some very, very powerful, sinister and malevolent forces at play here.
	The only way we win this is if we rise up in record numbers.
	And our lawmakers actually start representing us, and the Department of Justice does something about this.
	Maybe it'll happen.
	Maybe it won't.
	I'm not just going to be completely and totally, you know, 100% cynical.
	But I will say that if we do not contest the fraud that is so clearly happening in front of us with all of this evidence, and this is not an exhaustive list, everybody.
	I just have, I have...
	Page after page after page after page of irregularities and people saying they were backdating ballots and postal service problems and voting locations that have gone down and irregularities and counties that really surprised, counties that are not behaving the same as they should as we have here.

	Biden is not officially or legally or in any way the president-elect.
	President Trump is challenging the results.
	The courts are going to make a determination.
	Only when the courts determine The outcome, can anybody talk about the president-elect or the president being re-elected?
	That's a fact.
	Here was South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who I am really, really liking more and more.
	Every time I hear this woman speak, every time I hear her represent the state of South Dakota...
	I get more inspired.
	Here she was with George Stephanopoulos over the weekend on ABC. But the other thing that I think is going on here, George, is that this is all premature.
	This is a premature conversation because we have not finished counting votes.
	There are states that have not been called.
	And back in 2000, Al Gore was given his day in court.
	We should give President Trump his day in court.
	Let the process unfold.
	Because, George, we live in a republic.
	We are a government that gets its power from the consent of the governed.
	That is the people.
	They give their consent on Election Day.
	Election Day needs to be fair, honest, and transparent.
	And we need to be sure that we had an honest election before we decide who gets to be in the White House the next four years.
	Any evidence that it wasn't an honest election?
	You heard about a tweet earlier this week saying it was rigged.
	Do you have any evidence at all of widespread fraud?
	I've spoken with Republican secretaries of state in Georgia, in Arizona.
	I've spoken with Republican officials across the country.
	They have come up with zero evidence of widespread fraud.
	And that is not true.
	That is absolutely not true.
	People have signed legal documents, affidavits, stating that they saw illegal activities.
	And that is why we need to have this conversation in court Here's the tweet from this afternoon
	Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?
	I foresee decent probability of many deleted tweets, writings, and photos in the future.
	Why are you cataloguing supporters of the president?

	Let's say there isn't anything illegal going on.
	It's just mere incompetence.
	But the Democrats for four years have said that Trump is an apocalyptic threat to our nation, to our species.
	He has to go.
	So that's going to elevate suspicion among everybody else that likes Trump, that there will be fraud.

	- Okay, there's two big fights.
	Number one, we have to be relentless.
	We have to be persistent.
	We have to be on top of all of the fraud and find the truth all across the country.
	We are not going to back down.
	We are going to continue to dive into some of these numbers.
	I have them up here, which they scream irregularities.
	Just breaking in the last 20 minutes, Fulton County in Georgia has just come out and said that there have been some errors with the election reporting, which could be significant in the vote tallies in Georgia.
	Quote, significant.
	So that's number one.
	We must go after the fraud and we must find the truth.
	But number two, it's very important.
	It is very clear that as the media tries to push this thing along, That as the media tries to coronate Joe Biden, that there might not be enough time left on the clock for us to expose this fraud before they actually inaugurate Joe Biden.
	That's a horrifying realization.
	I'm not saying Joe Biden won.
	That is not what I'm saying.
	Hi, everybody.
	By the way, a reminder, I spoke, was it yesterday?
	What is today?
	Wednesday?
	Was it on Monday?
	Yeah, Monday.
	I spoke to hundreds of students via Zoom.
	Organized by TPUSA, Turning Point USA, in collaboration with PragerU, Penn State.
	And I want to make that talk available to the country, so I will put that up and I'll let you know about it.
	I'd like every one of you who has a college student in your life to watch it.
	By the way, before I get to my guest, I just want to note...
	And I'm addressing this to you and to my producer.
	The article on my speech in the Penn State paper struck me as pretty fair.
	I was quite taken aback.
	There was an accurate statement of what I said, which is a very impressive thing.
	Not expected at a college newspaper.
	So, that was...
	It was a pleasant surprise.
	Okay, we'll talk about the whole recount issue with Hans von Spakovsky.
	He's a former member of the Federal Election Commission, the FEC, and now manager of the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative.
	Mr. von Spakovsky, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Dennis, thanks for having me on.
	You're welcome.
	Can I call you Hans?
	It's just fewer syllables.
	Yes, please do.
	Although, listen, you get brownie points for pronouncing my last name exactly right.
	Better than hosts on Fox News.
	Well, I love language, and I've been to 130 countries.
	It has prepared me for...
	Proper pronunciation.
	I do.
	I take it very seriously.
	Anyway, thank you for being with me.
	Just tell me, and my listeners, in a nutshell, what is the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative?
	We've been working on years to convince Congress and state legislators to make reforms that would fix the vulnerabilities and problems in our whole...
	Election system.
	And we've done that through everything from testimony before state legislatures to research papers, supporting what we do, to the election fraud database, which is unique.
	It's the only one in the country that we created just a couple of years ago.
	It's on the Heritage website, if anybody wants to look at it, because I got tired of hearing all these folks on MSNBC and elsewhere say, oh, there's no election fraud in the U.S., no need to worry about it.
	So we started this database.
	It's just a sampling of cases.
	It is not a comprehensive list of proven cases.
	So these are not allegations by folks that they think something happened.
	These are proven cases where somebody was either convicted in a court of law of engaging in fraud or a judge ordered a new election because of fraud or there was an official finding.
	By a state agency, as you probably recall, happened two years ago in North Carolina where the state board of elections overturned the congressional race there in the 9th District because of absentee ballot fraud.
	Are any of these conclusively determined frauds perpetrated by Republicans?
	Yeah, you occasionally see that.
	It's a bipartisan database, but I do have to say, unfortunately, that the majority of the cases in there do seem to be Democrats involved in stealing elections.
	And look, it's not even always cases where they're stealing elections from the other party.
	Sometimes it's them stealing elections from members of their own party.
	Right, I understand.
	In primary elections, in primary races.
	Yes, exactly right.
	The New York Times today, the lead editorial with regard to the recounts, this is the headline.
	The GOP is attacking democracy.
	Yeah, that's just ridiculous.
	You can't have a functioning democracy unless you have fair and secure elections.
	And that means making sure that there's not fraud going on, that there aren't mistakes being made by election officials that can throw the outcome into question or that they're not violating the law in a way that either changes the outcome of the election or, frankly, discriminates against.
	And so the idea that there's something wrong with investigating that kind of thing is ridiculous.
	Listen, Dennis, you and I both know that if right now there were allegations of racial discrimination being made in the voting context in particular areas or particular states, the New York Times wouldn't be calling that an attack on democracy, questioning that.
	They'd be calling for a full investigation.
	Exactly.
	So, I'll put you on the spot.
	Any answer is fine with me.
	In other words, it's fine with me in the sense that I trust that this is your reaction.
	You don't have to give me an answer you might think I want.
	Do you have a sense about the presidential vote and the issue of fraud?
	Do you believe that Joe Biden won honestly?
	I don't know the answer to that.
	Let me tell you why.
	Look, I'm very concerned that in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania, specifically in Detroit and in Philadelphia, they locked out GOP observers, basically violating state law, which allows observers to be there, while they were processing, handling, and counting absentee ballots.
	And the reason I wonder about that is because I'm wondering, you know, why did election officials do that?
	And was it because they didn't want to apply their state laws to the absentee ballots, because they wanted to be sure that every vote coming in, because these are strong Democratic strongholds, would count?
	And what I mean by that is, look.
	In every state, the law says when an absentee ballot comes in, and it's certainly the rule of Pennsylvania, when an absentee ballot comes in, election officials are supposed to check it.
	They're supposed to verify the information that's required by state law.
	So they've got to make sure there's a signature on it.
	They've got to make sure that the information that a voter has to provide, his registered name, his address, is on the form.
	And if any of that information is missing, or if a signature is missing, Or it doesn't match up with the registration information, you have to reject the ballot.
	It's not counted.
	And I frankly wonder whether these election officials were keeping observers out because they just said to their workers there, don't bother doing any of that.
	Just open up every absentee mail-in ballot that's come in and count it.
	And we may never know because there weren't any observers there to make sure.
	That, in fact, they were following the law.
	It's things like that that have me very concerned.
	And what are they hiding?
	What is it that they don't want the Republican representative to see?
	That they're counting ballots that otherwise would be rejected?
	Yes.
	Right.
	So those ballots, why do we assume...
	That those ballots necessarily went to Joe Biden.
	Well, because this seemed to be only happening in the big, urban, strong Democratic centers.
	Poll watchers and observers weren't being kept out of the polls.
	And the more rural areas of Pennsylvania, the ones that are strongly Trump or Republican.
	All right, fine.
	Were those ballots, in your opinion, simply...
	Carelessly filled out ballots for Joe Biden or deliberately tampered with?
	I can't answer that because the only way to figure that out would be to be able to examine and investigate the ballots.
	Look, the other problem in Pennsylvania, which has been raised in the lawsuit that's been filed, and this is, as you know, a problem is, look...
	The principle that was laid out in the Bush v.
	Gore decision back in 2000 was very simple.
	The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment requires that voters be treated with the same standards throughout a state.
	In other words, you can't have one county having one standard for what counts as a vote different from another county and what they count as a vote.
	And the other thing that the campaign is saying is that Again, it has to do with these absentee ballots that Pennsylvania basically ended up with a two-tiered voting system.
	Because the state law in Pennsylvania says if the absentee ballot does not have the necessary information and signature that complies the state law, you have to reject it.
	Period.
	End of story.
	All right.
	Hold it there.
	This is obviously...
	Unbelievably important, but his answer that he just doesn't know who won is most illuminating.

	So George, I don't know how widespread it is.
	I don't know if it'll change the outcome of the election.
	But why is everybody so scared just to have a fair election and find out?
	We gave Al Gore 37 days to run the process before we decided who was going to be president.
	Why would we not afford the 70...
	0.6 million Americans that voted for President Trump, the same consideration.
	If Joe Biden really wants to unify this country, he would wait and make sure that we can prove we had a fair election.
	Wow.
	And there's nothing that George Stephanopoulos can really say to that.
	You see, here's the thing.
	George Stephanopoulos doesn't get to determine the outcome.
	The courts do.
	Everybody gets their day in court, and that includes Donald Trump.
	And the Trump campaign.
	And they want this debate.
	The Stephanopoulos of the world, the media mob, they all want us to be screaming about the election, the presidential race.
	Listen, the courts are going to decide that.

	I'm not giving them what they want.
	You shouldn't either.

	you you Brian in Pittsburgh, what do you think, Brian?
	Yeah, Hugh, I think the heart of the issue is people's irrational hatred for the president.
	Now, I didn't vote for him in 16, but I came to discover the irrationality of just hating the guy and feeling self-righteous about hating the guy.
	You know, I've discovered the Russian hoax was a hoax.
	You know, I discovered the pandemic was not as it was being framed by the left-wing media.
	Until people come to grips with that, you, even these journalists, Chuck Todd, your buddy, when he's defensive.
	No, Chuck's not defensive.
	Chuck was making a point which I should have made, which is the systemic bias is not intentional.
	And in the law, this matters.
	For example, intentional racial bias subjects whoever is committing it to penalty and to remediation.
	Unintentional consequences of inherent bias, for example, in a police exam, disparate outcomes do not subject you to penalty.
	So Chuck is talking about, yeah, we have disparate outcomes all the time, but we don't mean it.
	I believe that.
	No, right.
	I hear you.
	I understand.
	What I'm saying is this is subconscious with people.
	And it's that group herd thinking when it comes to Donald Trump.
	And it's harming us as a country.
	There's such thing as truth.
	And when we hate another person, and the hatred of Donald Trump is off the charts, we then, truth becomes a fatality.
	And this is what happens.

	I do wish to remind you that I am planning to take many of you, as I have three times, to Israel.
	And it's planned for October.
	Even I don't think a year from now there will be a lockdown.
	And I can't think of any better way for you to end that fast than to come with me to Israel.
	Maybe this has reinforced in you my belief that you have to lead as full a life as possible while you can.
	Mike Gallagher joins me, and there is a link at my website, it's the Stand with Israel Tour, or just go to standwithisraeltour.com.
	Yep, that's next October.
	It's a big deal.
	Alright, is our guest on terrific?
	Hans von Spakovsky, former member of the FEC Federal Election Commission, now the manager of the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative.
	So much to ask here.
	How big an effect was this unprecedented mailing of tens of millions of ballots to people who never requested them?
	How big an effect do you think that had?
	And do you think that that created more irresponsibility than normal voting?
	Yeah, I think it had a big effect.
	And yes, I do think it created more irresponsibility because the security around absentee ballots or mail-in ballots is just not as good as with ballots cast in person.
	And unfortunately, a lot of people just don't understand or believe this, but it's relatively easy to cheat in elections with absentee ballots and to do it in such a way that you aren't caught.
	And anybody who doubts that, there was a great article in the New York Post, I think about two months ago, where they interviewed a political consultant who had been working for years in New Jersey, and he explained how he had been basically been stealing elections, in multiple elections there, for years, using the absentee voting process.
	And he explained how easy it was to do, and that if you did it right, you...
	You wouldn't get caught.
	Plus, I think the other big problem was that, again, I think there's a big possibility here that election officials, the reason they were keeping observers out was because they were not going through their usual process of trying to validate those absentee ballots before they counted them.
	Wow.
	So do you believe that the vast mailings were done in order to enable cheating?
	I really don't see what other reason there was for doing that.
	We know that people would be able to vote safely in person as long as the polling locations followed.
	All the health safety protocols have been recommended by the CDC and others.
	That's what happened in primaries throughout the summer.
	We had numerous examples of that, Wisconsin being one in April, for example, where hundreds of thousands of people voted in person.
	They did everything you were supposed to, wearing masks, live space, etc.
	But the CDC issued a report saying there was no spike in COVID-19 infection.
	So the point is, there really wasn't any need.
	We push everybody to vote by mail.
	And the big problem with voting by mail is, look, there's only kind of ballots cast outside the supervision of election officials and outside the observation of observers.
	But frankly, it makes it easier, for example, to coerce and pressure and also potentially pay voters to vote a certain way.
	Is it as easy to cheat on absentee ballots as mail-in ballots?
	As non-requested, in other words.
	Yes.
	Because, at least with absentee ballots, usually you don't get one in a state unless you, the voter, fill out...
	A request for it.
	You have to sign a form, you have to send it in.
	Right, but my question is, is it as easy for the counters to cheat with absentee ballots as other mail-in ballots?
	Yes, I believe it is.
	So, when this man testified that you mentioned earlier, that was about absentee ballots, correct?
	That's right.
	But look, the only difference between absentee ballots and the all-mail states is that in the all-mail states, you don't have to request the mail-in ballots.
	Correct.
	So that is not more liable to fraud than requested absentee ballots?
	I thought it was.
	Oh, no, I think it is.
	But they're both liable to fraud.
	And look, the best example of this is...
	Look, some years ago, I was actually in Oregon, which has all-male elections, and the head of their security was in the front of the room, this is a meeting of election officials, talking about how secure their system is.
	And an election official from another state leaned over to me and said, well, my sister-in-law lives in Oregon, and in the last election, she voted three times.
	And I said, well, how did she do that?
	She said, well, she was sent a ballot in her name, which she filled out and voted.
	She filled out, signed her husband's name, and sent that ballot in.
	And then she voted a third ballot because she was registered twice, once under her maiden name and once under her married name.
	And the state had no idea.
	So she was able to vote three times in that election.
	The election officials had no idea that this had happened.
	Why is it counted as three times with regard to her husband?
	Did her husband not ask, where's my ballot?
	Well, I don't know if she did or not, but it's highly illegal to vote someone else's ballot and forge that voter's signature on the ballot.
	They're having a recount in Georgia.
	There's a 14,000 vote spread now.
	In your heart of hearts or mind of minds, do you believe that there are 14,000 Trump votes that were registered to Biden?
	The answer, unfortunately, to that is no.
	I actually used to be a county election official in Georgia, in Fulton County, which is the county that comes to the metropolitan Atlanta.
	I was involved in multiple recounts, and recounts, even statewide, never change more than a couple of hundred votes at the most.
	I've never seen a recount change that many votes.
	Very interesting.
	All right, I'm going to ask you why not.
	When we return, and if that is the case, then maybe voter fraud is not a big issue.
	That'll be my final question to you.
	We'll return in a moment.

	Yeah, Larry, I used to believe in...
	Free and fair elections, but at this point, I don't.
	I mean, Trump was just elected in the biggest landslide in the history of this country.
	He received more votes in this election on Tuesday than any presidential candidate has ever received up until now, up until, of course, Joe Biden.
	So Trump won the state of Florida by over a million.
	He got over a million more votes than he did.
	Four years ago in the state of Florida.
	Am I to believe that Joe Biden, who can't draw more than 10 people to his rallies, can actually receive 800,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton did four years ago?
	This is an atrocity, and the American people are not going to stand for this.
	At the end of the day, they've stolen this.
	138,339 ballots show up in the middle of the night at 4 a.m.
	in Michigan, and all of a sudden, Joe Biden leaves at 122,000 show up in the state of Wisconsin in the middle of the night at 4 a.m., and all of a sudden, now he leaves it?
	He was up by over 700,000 votes in the state of Pennsylvania, and miraculously, they're just finding just enough, just like Al Franken found in 2008 in the Minnesota Senate race.

	The new Trump voters, the newly minted Trump voters are prepared to, you know, load the magazines, man the barricades.
	What does that mean about the state of the conservative movement to you, if that is a trend?
	Well, I think it's telling about the shift that's happened in recent years, which is, and we saw this, you know, throughout maybe the Brett Kavanaugh fight, a number of other fights that happened in recent years.
	Where perhaps old guard conservatives, the kind of voices that are speaking from the mountaintop, would say, oh, well, let's let this one go, you know, that kind of thing.
	They were willing to accede to a loss with honor, which is not honorable, in my opinion.
	But anyway, that kind of aspect of the movement, they're still around, but that's not the attitude of the newer, younger people who view this as more of a confrontational moment.
	And I think that that's a big tell about the future of conservatism in the country.
	All right, everybody.
	Hans von Spakovsky, former member of the FEC Federal Election Commission, now manages the Heritage Foundation's election law reform initiative.
	So I have to admit I'm a bit confused.
	And so you'll help me, I'm sure.
	So let me review what I asked you.
	We talked about the Georgia recount.
	There's a 14,000 vote spread.
	There are 5 million votes.
	4.9 something.
	Okay.
	So I did a little math.
	That comes out to.0028% of the vote.
	That's a very tiny fraction of the vote.
	And I asked you, do you think it is likely that that will be 14,000 or.0028 of the vote, percent of the vote, will be found to have been actually Trump votes or at least non-legal Biden votes?
	And you said no, maybe a few hundred.
	So why are we going through any of this if that's what you believe?
	Well, you're confusing a recount with the issue of whether illegal votes were cast.
	Remember, a recount doesn't look whether, for example, the vote was cast by somebody who doesn't actually live in Georgia but is registered there.
	It doesn't look at whether somebody who was not a U.S. citizen cast the vote, even though it's illegal for them to do.
	All a recount does is take all of the ballots that were cast throughout the state.
	by whoever cast them and recount them to make sure they got the math correct and attributed the right number to each of the candidates.
	That doesn't tell you whether or not, for example, there was absentee ballot fraud and somebody picked up, you know, 100 votes, 100 absentee ballots here, 1,000 there, filled them out, forged signatures, and sent them in.
	The ballot, if they came in and were accepted by election officials, are just simply going to be recounted.
	Alright, you've answered my question.
	You've answered my question.
	So the recount, unless it's literally a few hundred, then the recount doesn't reveal fraud.
	It only reveals, so to speak, mistakes.
	Correct.
	Is fraud even revealable?
	Not unless you do the right kind of checking.
	And again, I'll give you an example of what I mean.
	A couple of years ago, three professors from Virginia actually did a study based on voter survey data after the 2008 election.
	And based on that survey data, they estimated that in the 2008 presidential election, 38% of the non-citizens who were in the country voted in the election.
	Now, that's a felony under federal law.
	Somebody who's not a citizen, who's not allowed to register, not allowed to vote.
	But there's no verification process.
	In Georgia, as in every other state, when you register to vote, they don't actually check to make sure you are a U.S. citizen.
	So the only way to be able to check if non-citizens are registered in voting in the state would be to do that kind of investigation or verification process.
	And every time there's been any attempt to do anything like that, it gets stopped in the courts.
	Georgia actually is one of the few states that passed a law requiring proof of citizenship when you register to vote, and the left went to court.
	And got court orders saying that they weren't allowed to do that because it was somehow discriminatory.
	Wait, so a Georgia court overruled the law?
	Yes, a Georgia federal court said that Georgia could not enforce its proof of citizenship required.
	On what grounds?
	I didn't follow the grounds again.
	Oh, they say it's somehow discriminatory to require people to prove they're a U.S. citizen.
	Who does it discriminate against?
	Well, it's a burden.
	You know, the court says it's a burden to make somebody provide that kind of proof.
	Right, but who does it discriminate against?
	If the burden is equally applied, it's not discriminatory.
	A red light discriminates equally.
	Dennis, you're preaching to the choir.
	I agree 100% with you, but the courts have taken a very, frankly, unfactual, unlegal view of this.
	Because they want fraud.
	That may very well be.
	Alright, I have some people with questions.
	It's too important to let you go.
	Thank you for your time.
	I'm speaking to Hans von Spakovsky, who is with the FEC, Federal Election Commission, and now manages the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative.
	Do you have pain?
	I don't mean electoral pain.
	I don't mean psychological pain, moral pain, theological pain.
	I mean physical pain, specifically joint, muscle, back, arm, leg.
	Me.
	There's a spectacular product I ask you to just try.
	And they say you'll know in three weeks if it works.
	So they have a three-week special.
	$19.95 in shipping.
	That's it.
	That's available at relieffactor.com 800-500-8384.
	I strongly urge you to give it a try for three weeks.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	Wait a minute.
	Why?
	If we saw voter fraud, if we have examples of voter fraud, why wouldn't that work out?
	And you're saying the states have that much power.
	Well, a couple things.
	Here's what can happen.
	The states do have almost all the power, but the federal government's not just an innocent bystander.
	The DOJ can come in and prosecute voter fraud, and they should.
	The DOJ Civil Rights Division can come and investigate.
	Whether or not there was widespread shenanigans.
	And remember, state officials can be investigated as well.
	Here's the thing is that these county recorders have gone to jail before.
	Vote counters go to jail.
	That's not above, you know, the DOJ can go do that.
	And so that's what I... Don't you think that they will and had better do that for the sake of the nation?
	I don't know what Bill Barr is doing, Eric, okay?
	I don't know where the Durham report is.
	I don't know where the indictments are.
	I don't know why Antifa people aren't being arrested.
	And I don't know why the DOJ is not going into these states.
	And at least we have eyes on you.
	OK, I don't know what because I'm going to tell you right now, the Michigan, you know, election security division is not going to prosecute any of that.
	So here's what can happen, though.
	If the DOJ starts to open up a lot of these cases, it makes it a lot easier for the Trump campaign to then file a lawsuit with a circuit court judge or a federal judge outside of the DOJ. So then the judge can get involved in exactly what can happen.
	Now, judges have almost unilateral power in these elections.
	OK. The judges are the final voice.
	Now, if the Democrats in Michigan don't like it, they can appeal to the Supreme Court.
	They might just kick it back down to the federal court.
	For example, if the DOJ starts to make a case in Michigan that there's a lot of voter fraud and voter cheating, the Trump campaign's already filed a lawsuit in Michigan.

	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	Professor, how does this end?
	Well, you know, look, so here's the problem.
	We're all focused on the counts.
	And it looks like President Trump may lose Georgia to Joe Biden because of the count coming out of Atlanta.
	And then he may well lose Pennsylvania because of the count coming out of Philadelphia.
	I think he's going to pick up Arizona, but he may well lose Nevada out of the count coming out of Clark County.
	But the problem is the significant trigger event was not the count, but the verification of which ballots were legitimately cast in order to be counted.
	And Republicans in a lot of those jurisdictions were blocked out of the verification process.
	The signature verification process, the legitimacy of the absentee ballots that have been collected and harvested, and oftentimes in violation of state law.
	But once that threshold decision had been done, and the ballot is separated from the envelope that allowed you to verify the legitimacy of the ballot, then you can't unravel the question of which votes were illegitimate and cast, or who they were cast for.
	And so unless the court would be willing to step in in Pennsylvania and say, because we can't determine, we know that there were illegitimate votes cast, but we can't determine which way they went.
	It's a very serious subject, irrespective of the recent presidential election.
	um
	Do you, I'm speaking to Hans von Spakovsky, who is, What suggests to me that there was fraud are macro anomalies.
	I don't know about the nitty gritty of voting like you do.
	It's odd that there would be so many losses to the Democrats, and yet the head of the ticket loses.
	Even New Hampshire has changed its state house to Republican.
	And all these people then vote against the head of the ticket?
	It's possible.
	But there just seem to be...
	Steve Cortez just listed all the anomalies that we're expected to believe.
	Does that affect your view, or are you more in the micro?
	I'm into both, because what you're talking about is a clue or an indication that there may have been fraud or other problems in what's going on.
	It's just like the issue of, and look, this hasn't been confirmed, But, you know, there are reports that there were many, many ballots received in some jurisdiction that only had one vote on them, the vote in the presidential race.
	And that seems very, very questionable.
	There's no question that there's drop-off on ballots.
	You know, people tend to vote for the highest offices, the president, Congress, the Senate, et cetera.
	And as they get down to ballots, because ballots are pretty long in a lot of places, and they get down to, you know, local dog catchers, they don't vote for them.
	But to ignore an entire ballot and just vote for the presidential race, that seems kind of unusual, and it makes me suspicious that, well, Were those...
	Where were those ballots?
	What state or city were those ballots?
	Well, that's the thing.
	I've seen some allegations that that happened in Pennsylvania and maybe elsewhere, but again, that hasn't been confirmed.
	And it seems to me that kind of information, we ought to confirm and investigate that before we certify the election.
	So you'd have to do a recount.
	You'd have to count how many ballots in Pennsylvania only have a presidential vote.
	And even that doesn't prove fraud.
	It suggests it.
	No, it suggests it.
	And remember, we have the additional problem in Pennsylvania of ballots being included in the count, absentee ballots, that we received after the state-imposed deadline for the receipt of absentee ballots that was extended by the state's Supreme Court.
	And you have the Trump campaign saying, under the Constitution, the state Supreme Court did not have the authority to do that.
	Would you abolish absentee ballots?
	No, I think they're necessary for people who are sick or to this day.
	Right, but you do acknowledge that that is very susceptible to manipulation.
	It is, and that's why you need to have...
	First of all, I don't believe in no-fault absentee, which some states have moved to.
	I think you should have an excuse to vote by absentee.
	And second, you've got to put in security measures like the requirement that a witness...
	Sign and witness your signature on the ballot.
	And frankly, every state ought to do what Alabama, Kansas, Wisconsin have done, which is to put in an ID requirement for absentee ballots.
	Would you abolish...
	Well, let me drop that term.
	When would you allow people to start voting?
	How much before Election Day?
	I sure wouldn't do it six weeks or two months ahead of time.
	Maybe a month before the election at the most.
	But again, I would restrict absentee ballots also.
	Just to people who have a valid excuse for why they can't be in the polls.
	Right, but why, even if they have a valid excuse, I would even think four weeks is too much.
	I think Election Day should be Election Day, with very few exceptions.
	Well, I agree with you, with the only real exception being...
	The disabled who can't show up.
	Well, yeah, but also, remember, our overseas military...
	Right, okay, fine.
	Okay.
	And they need a longer...
	Then only they should have the longer.
	Only they should have the longer, then.
	Look, I would have no problem with...
	Right, I understand.
	No, I understand you wouldn't.
	Okay, I just want to repeat that my first question to you, and I'm not asking you to revise it, I just...
	In light of all the likelihoods that you've described a fraud, you are still agnostic as to whether there was enough to have...
	Right, because the only way to figure that out is to do a very complete and thorough investigation, and so far, that hasn't been done yet.
	Yeah, but what you said to me suggests that a thorough investigation is A, extremely lengthy, and B, probably not even possible, because how do we know?
	That ballots were falsely filled.
	Well, yes, you're exactly right.
	That's why it's hard to detect this after an election.
	You have to try to put measures in place before elections to deter and prevent this kind of stuff.
	I changed the subject because of a break.
	We're talking about Pennsylvania.
	Right.
	Is there an argument that Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, for example, had different criteria?
	Yes.
	Okay, that's what I thought you were suggesting.
	Okay, alright.
	Okay, got a lot more.
	Unfortunately, it's Orwellian for the New York Times to say this is an attack on democracy rather than the fraud.
	being an attack on a democracy.
	Trending now on the Mike DeLegere Show.
	. . you Biden is not officially or legally or in any way the president-elect.
	President Trump is challenging the results.
	The courts are going to make a determination.
	Only when the courts determine the outcome can anybody talk about the president-elect or the president being re-elected.
	That's a fact.
	Here was South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who I am really, really liking more and more.
	Every time I hear this woman speak, every time I hear her represent the state of South Dakota, I get more inspired.
	Here she was with George Stephanopoulos over the weekend on ABC. But the other thing that I think is going on here, George, is that this is all premature.
	This is a premature conversation because we have not finished counting votes.
	There are states that have not been called.
	Back in 2000, Al Gore was given his day in court.
	We should give President Trump his day in court.
	Let the process unfold.
	Because, George, we live in a republic.
	We are a government that gets its power from the consent of the governed.
	That is the people.
	They give their consent on Election Day.
	Election Day needs to be fair, honest, and transparent.
	And we need to be sure that we had an honest Governor Noem, do you have any evidence that it wasn't an honest election?
	You had a tweet earlier this week saying it was rigged.
	Do you have any evidence at all of widespread fraud?
	I've spoken with Republican secretaries of state in Georgia, in Arizona.
	I've spoken with Republican officials across the country.
	They have come up with zero evidence of widespread fraud.
	And that is not true.
	That is absolutely not true.
	People have signed legal documents, affidavits, stating that they saw illegal activities.
	And that is why we need to have this conversation in court Keep up with what's trending and subscribe on YouTube today Trending now on America first with Sebastian Burke Here's the tweet from this afternoon
	Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?
	I foresee decent probability of many deleted tweets, writings and photos in the future.
	Why are you cataloguing supporters of the President?
	There's 70 million of us.
	What are you going to try and do, AOC? Because we're ready for you.
	Got that, Media Matters?
	Somebody who's really been upping his game, we always like him, but he's been getting even more heavy and meaty, is Greg Gutfeld.
	Let's play a little video cut from our buddy Greg on the issue at hand.
	Video cut 7, Eric.
	I'm not sure if this is a first-world or third-world country anymore, if we can't handle this.
	And the thing is, I keep thinking, all right, who made this bed?
	Let's say there isn't anything illegal going on.
	It's just mere incompetence.
	But the Democrats, for four years...
	All right, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Didn't think I would be having you on as long as this.
	You'll have to apply for overtime pay, by the way, when you send us your bill.
	God, because I realize this so much, and we have excellent questions here.
	By the way, you mentioned Dominion, this Dominion voter system, computer system, as specifically liable to fraud.
	Well, they're liable if they have defects in the software that they sold that have caused miscounts or anything like that.
	But while they reported a glitch in Michigan that then got corrected, and there's a lot of questions about them, I mean, so far, you know, we haven't really had any computer expert come forward and be able to say, I've examined the software, and I think it did.
	This or that.
	You know, change votes or anything like that.
	A caller is calling in from, interestingly, Sacramento, California.
	Texas rejected the Dominion voter system.
	Is that correct?
	That is right.
	In a lot of states, you can't sell voting equipment, hardware or software, unless the state first tests it and certifies it for use.
	And Dominion, the same stuff they're using.
	In Michigan and Georgia and other states was rejected by Texas.
	Texas believed it had security and other problems and wouldn't allow it to be used.
	So in the little time remaining, is my belief that there should be no mail-in ballots, including absentee ballots, is that draconian?
	My view is, if you can't vote in person, it should be like if you can't vote on the Senate floor in person.
	If you're ill, your vote doesn't count if you're a senator.
	If you're in Madagascar, your vote doesn't count.
	I don't believe that this is anti-Republican or anti-Democrat.
	There are just as many disabled Democrats as Republicans.
	I don't know why we can't have what we used to have.
	You have to vote on Election Day in a place where they have voting, at their voting booth.
	Why is that a bad idea?
	Look, it's not a bad idea.
	I guess the exception I would make, we just have to disagree, is I do think for folks who are permanently disabled and can't make it to the polling place, for example, that they ought to be able to vote that way.
	Only with the kind of security measures in place to make sure that we don't have fraud going on.
	And there are a series of things you can do, such as requiring ID. Alright, yeah, oh, no kidding.
	Anyway, you've been a joy.
