	Thank you.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Thank you to Mark Eisler for sitting in for me yesterday.
	I very rarely open by asking you to read my Tuesday column, but I am opening because it is one of the most important I have ever written.
	I actually was intending to take the day off from writing as well, because I am a few verses away from finishing the major second draft.
	This is near final of my third volume of my Rational Bible.
	And so I wanted to finish that, but I got inspired to write a column.
	And it's one of those I wish were sent to every person you know on the left.
	Every liberal you know.
	What American schools should teach about race, racism, and slavery?
	It's never quite been put into one place all of what is true and needs to be taught.
	Your children bathe in lies because the purpose of education has become To teach them to loathe America.
	They use blacks as the vehicle to the ends that they have, which is a loathing of America, the Judeo-Christian value system, belief system, capitalism, e pluribus unum, individualism.
	Belief that standards are more important than individual feelings.
	I mean everything that makes society great, they want to destroy.
	So, please read the column.
	It's at my website.
	It's at Town Hall.
	It will be at Daily Wire, American Greatness, and Jewish World Review, and many others.
	Okay, everybody!
	I welcome you to the show, and continuing controversy over the election takes place.
	I just want you to know, this may disturb some of you, and I have to take that risk, to be honest, at all times.
	Right now, there are two major possibilities.
	Joe Biden won the election honestly or that he won it dishonestly.
	And I'm not saying that Joe Biden was involved in the dishonesty if that was the case.
	I'm just making...
	Obviously, there is a third option, and that is that if he won it dishonestly, then President Trump won it honestly.
	I understand that.
	That's a very difficult hurdle to prove.
	I think we have to realize that.
	He has every right to try it, as Alan Dershowitz, who I assume voted for Biden, has just made clear in a column.
	The president has every right to try, and there does seem to be a cheating.
	But I would pose this question.
	Since I don't want any conservatives to make up scenarios that are not true, that would bother me even more than if the left lied.
	Because if my side lied, then we really have little, if any, hope for the society.
	So it gives you an idea of how committed I am to the truth.
	Having said that, there was a question that I posed the other day, and I would pose it again.
	you Do you believe, I'm not asking if you believe that there was widespread cheating.
	I'm asking you this question.
	Do you believe that if Democratic operatives could get away with it, or think they could get away with it, would they cheat?
	See, that's a very important question.
	If they could get away with it, or thought they could get away with it, would they cheat in a large way?
	Would they do so?
	And I made the point last week that if you believe that you are Preventing the re-election of a fascist, of a white supremacist, of a Nazi sympathizer, of a dictator, aren't you morally compelled to cheat?
	Somebody wrote me a letter saying that he was disappointed in me.
	I disappoint a lot of people regularly, but this person was disappointed in me.
	Because I gave the green light to Democrats to cheat.
	But the green light is dependent upon the belief that is a dramatic lie.
	But how could I deny that?
	If I, as a Republican, truly believed that this country, Was about to elect a Nazi, sympathizing, fascist, white supremacist dictator, would I not cheat?
	I mean, morality, as I've made clear, and a lot of religious people do not realize this, because they believe in absolute morality, which of course I do too.
	But they don't understand that the situation determines the absolute morality.
	You go through a red light if the person in your car had a heart attack.
	The notion, of course the ends justify the means.
	Of course they do.
	Noble ends, you want to have noble means whenever possible, but we dropped an atom bomb on Japan to end World War II. The end justified a terrible deed.
	Japan was the aggressor.
	That's a very important point.
	It was a systematic torturer and genocidal force in Asia.
	Ask the Koreans about that one.
	Ask the Chinese about that.
	And probably millions of lives were saved because of the atom bomb.
	So I'm just making the point that There are times when you do terrible things for a greater good, and the terrible thing is to cheat in elections, but if the greater good is not having a neo-Nazi fascist white supremacist dictator, then I get it.
	So, the left can't have it both ways.
	They can't say, we wouldn't cheat, but Trump is a neo-fascist, fascist neo-Nazi, White supremacist dictator.
	You can't have it both ways.
	If you believe that, then you would cheat.
	And if you wouldn't cheat, there's something wrong with your moral system.
	See, the problem is, they're never challenged because they don't listen to talk radio, they don't read our websites, they don't watch Fox News, they don't read the Wall Street Journal editorial page, opinion page.
	We read them.
	We study under them.
	We watch them.
	We hear them.
	They don't watch us.
	They don't study under us.
	They don't hear us.
	They don't read us.
	That's the big difference.
	That's why they won't debate us.
	There's another reason they won't debate us.
	They're wrong.
	It's all passion.
	It's all demagoguery.
	How many times have I offered $10,000 to $20,000?
	Have a New York Times columnist debate me or anyone that I would choose on America, on leftism, on conservatism, the big issues.
	Should America be a religious country?
	I could think of a whole host of topics.
	I don't blame them for not debating.
	I've never seen a left-right debate.
	I don't say it doesn't exist.
	I've never seen one where the left is won.
	They're very rare to begin with.
	Back in a moment.
	Gotta tell me sooner.
	India today, in my understanding, has voter ID for every single Indian citizen.
	But we don't in America.
	Are we being overtaken by countries like India?
	Is the putative announcement of Vice President Biden as quote-unquote present-elect, does that mean that we will be condemned to slipping further behind other nations whose people have wanted to come here like your parents did, Dinesh?
	I mean, it's kind of funny, Seb, but we might reach a point soon where we will need election observers from countries like India to ratify that the American electoral process is legitimate.
	I never thought I would see a time when not only would the media ignore huge stories Because think of how hard that is to pull off in a free market.
	There are thousands of journalists, hundreds of media institutions.
	Why won't even one guy at the Dallas Morning News or the Sacramento Bee go, listen, all my idiot colleagues don't want to cover the Biden scandal.
	I'm going to do it, and I'm going to become the most famous media reporter in the country.
	But even that guy won't do it.
	He's scared.
	Can I ask you a personal question?
	Of course.
	You have the footage, and I presume that footage is not, some of your footage is dramatization, some of it is incredibly frightening passage from the end of 1984. But there's footage of a judge, the judge who sentenced you to prison.
	That's not reenactment.
	That's the real judge, isn't it, Dinesh?
	Well, there's a little bit of both because there is a real judge.
	But the reason we had to recreate that is he refused to allow me to film in his courtroom.

	Trending now on The Larry Oller Show.
	For people who are really, really crushed by how this election appears to be turning out, Donald Trump has changed this country.
	Donald Trump has changed this party.
	And the man is not going to go away.
	Donald Trump has expanded the number.
	It appears that he increased his percentage of the black vote by about 50%.
	And I heard some caster say, well, it's not that big of a deal.
	Really?
	If your ratings went up 50%, you'd say it's not that big of a deal.
	It's a huge deal.
	And Democrats are losing ground with blacks every four years for the last several election cycles.
	2020, looks like Trump is getting around 12%.
	That's the highest percentage of the black vote any Republican candidate for president has received since Gerald Ford, 1976. And the reason that there's so much anger about Nancy Pelosi within her own caucus is that she confidently predicted that they were going to pick up anywhere from 10 to 15 seats.
	They're down six, maybe even more, with about a half a dozen still yet to be decided with Republicans ahead.
	It's possible Republicans could gain double digits.
	That would be massive.
	And, of course, they assumed that they were going to take control, but the Senate did not.
	And in that conference call that they had that they leaked, It is clear that a whole lot of people were PO'd at the so-called squad and blamed, defund the police, Medicare for All, Green New Deal for the defeat.
	I'm Larry Elder Hey everybody Dennis Prager here and I want to remind you something beautiful that we can do together is
	Plan for next October, the Stand with Israel tour that I take every other year, and hundreds of you come.
	Overwhelmingly, people say it was the greatest trip of their life.
	They met phenomenal people.
	They were deeply moved.
	I speak frequently with the group.
	And I go with Mike Gallagher, my friend and colleague.
	And by the way, you should just know, you can get a full refund until May, which is six months from now.
	So if things get worse, or you just can't go, or whatever, don't worry about it.
	You have until May.
	So the Stand with Israel banner is at my website.
	And that's what you should click on.
	Alright, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	And I welcome you back to the show.
	It's a question I'd like you to pose.
	It's really important.
	See, they throw out words that they don't really mean.
	So tell them, say, if you could, two questions.
	If you worked in the voting system and you knew you could get away with it, would you cheat on behalf of Joe Biden?
	So they would say no, I am sure.
	So then say, do you think it is moral or immoral?
	If you believe that a neo-Nazi, fascist, white supremacist dictator can become President of the United States, is it immoral or immoral to cheat on behalf of his opponent?
	I'd love to know what they would say.
	They tell you he's the worst human being a place could have.
	Axe Boot of the Washington Post, who used to be a conservative, when he was elected, called him Stalin.
	Stalin.
	Stalin is the second greatest mass murderer in history after Mao.
	Stalin.
	So tell me, You don't think it is moral to cheat to prevent Stalin from becoming the leader of a country?
	I mean, let's be real.
	Of course it is.
	That's the issue.
	Alex, Sarasota, Florida.
	Hello.
	Hey, Dennis.
	Good day to you.
	What a joy it is to speak with you again.
	We actually enjoyed dinner together at my family's home in Palos Verdes about 12 years ago.
	I'm not sure if you remember that.
	We've spoken a couple times since then, but so nice to speak to you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	My comment is that Ami Horowitz actually answered part one of your question in a video that he recently produced.
	You know, he does those man-on-the-street bits.
	Right.
	He was asking folks on the left and liberals alike that, you know, what would you do in this event if there were clear signs of voter fraud and Trump was elected, you know, how would you feel about that?
	And obviously they presented outrage, but then when he presented them with the opposite, that Biden were elected, many and if not all of them said, oh, I'm fine with that.
	That's okay.
	And he went on to further ask them questions about different scenarios.
	And posed just the same way, and all of them agreed that it would be okay to cheat for Joe Biden.
	So I know that wasn't answering your question regarding a person working in a polling station.
	Right, yes, but it makes the case even more so.
	If you don't pose the Stalin-Hitler-fascist question, and they're still okay with cheating, of course they are.
	Of course they're okay with lying.
	The 1619 New York Times Pulitzer Prize winning thing taught to your kids a lie.
	It was called a lie by anti-Trump liberal professors.
	The leading historians of America.
	I don't say American historians because you may not realize they're American historians of America.
	The leading.
	I know their names.
	They came out and they They said mendacious, I think.
	I don't know if they said lies.
	Mendacious means lie.
	The whole thing's a lie.
	They're okay with lying and cheating.
	They're okay with smearing.
	They're okay with ruining people's livelihoods and reputations.
	Look at what they did to Brett Kavanaugh.
	Yeah, he was in a rape line.
	Do you understand the fantasy world you have to enter to enter the left?
	Brett Kavanaugh was in a rape line.
	Was there a rape line at Yale anyway?
	Did that even exist?
	It's not impossible, but a little hard to believe, and it's almost impossible to believe that Brett Kavanaugh was in that line.
	By the way, with the Biden election, if he's elected, there will be once again males at college meetings.
	Can have anything accused and they will have few legal rights to prevent their being shamed and expelled from the college.
	The rights of male students were restored under the Trump administration and that will be gone.
	ASAP. 1-8 Prager 776. And let's go to Michael.
	Hello, Michael.
	Dennis Prager.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	You know, you just said what Biden would do if he was elected.
	Wouldn't you have a moral obligation to cheat to prevent, you know, Joe and Kamala from being in power over this country?
	Destroying the society that you love so much?
	The greatest society there ever was.
	It's a very fair question.
	I wouldn't cheat, but it's a very fair answer.
	Yes, I gave you my fair answer.
	I wouldn't cheat.
	You wouldn't cheat, huh?
	I don't believe that they are at the level of evil that the left describes the president.
	Well, it's not just because you think you're better than the left, huh?
	There's no question in my mind I'm better than the left.
	Oh, okay.
	That's good.
	Well, I'm glad to know that you're superior.
	I'm glad you're glad to know.
	This is a great call.
	I thank you.
	And...
	What's...
	I'm sorry?
	Okay, good.
	All right.
	1-8 Prager 776. I'm going to read to you from Dershowitz.
	This is so much...
	Because I haven't been on since Friday.
	Feels like a long time ago.
	We shall return in a moment.
	You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
	With all the election coverage going on, with Republicans winning 28 out of 29 House seats, doing very well in the Senate,
	Flipping a Senate seat in Alabama.
	Republicans winning competitive House races.
	President Trump doing phenomenally well in Florida.
	We talked about a red wave that was interrupted in just a couple of states.
	President Donald Trump doing five points better in Chicago.
	And so with all of that, I kind of took my eye off the ball on something that I was just really curious about.
	So I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, the suburbs of Chicago.
	I grew up listening to AM560 The Answer.
	Hello to everyone that's listening right now in AM560 The Answer to this program right now.
	And in the last decade, I saw Illinois make a sequence of decisions that were so incredibly self-defeating, some would almost call it economically or politically suicidal.
	Tax hikes, re-electing corrupt politicians, legalizing marijuana, bailing out public sector teacher unions, appeasing the Chicago Teachers Union.
	It has been a very difficult decade for those of us that grew up in Illinois.
	So difficult that I left.
	I'm technically now a Florida resident.
	And I voted proudly in Florida for President Donald Trump.
	And the power-hungry politicians, Thank you.
	mainly J.B. Pritzker, who might be America's worst governor, and that's really saying something in today's political climate.

	After a 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2014, Belichick answered question after question with, we're on to Cincinnati.
	After Joe Biden's victory was declared by media organizations on Saturday, the mantra of Republicans for the next two months should be, we are on to Georgia.
	Because on January 5, Georgians will decide two United States Senate seats and run off election.
	The course of the nation over the next two years is in the balance.
	If Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler win, Americans will have divided government and compromise.
	If left-wing, indeed radical, Democratic challengers John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock win, the nation will see Supreme Court packing cuts in the military's spending and socialized medicine.
	If Trump wants a comeback in 2024, it starts in the Peach State on January 5.
	We are on to Georgia.

	Where are we?
	What direction are we in?
	Are we headed towards?
	If I told you that one of these two Democrat candidates For Senate, has called police gangsters and thugs.
	Would you believe it?
	Of the two of them, which one do you think it would be?
	Raphael Warnock or John Ossoff?
	You'd probably think Ossoff, surely a guy with reverend in front of his name, wouldn't call police gangsters and thugs.
	But actually, you would be incorrect.
	It's the...
	It's the Reverend who has called police officers in America gangsters and thugs.
	Now, we got a lot of drama and emotion and raw intensity over what it means to be a police officer in 2020.
	The George Floyd death hurt.
	It hurt.
	It hurt.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Hi, everybody.
	I'm looking up whether the charge of the rape lines was high school or Yale.
	My alter ego says it was high school when I'm looking it up.
	One charge of rape is Yale.
	Anyway, I just, either way, we're talking about the issue of would people of the left believing that Trump is a fascist, neo-Nazi, white supremacist dictator, aren't they morally obligated to cheat?
	And since they lie chronically, Then truth is not a left-wing value.
	In fact, objectivity is increasingly under attack.
	The very word objectivity is attack in the postmodern morality of the university.
	Truth is what promotes social justice.
	There is no objective truth outside of that.
	So, that doesn't mean that Joe Biden Won unfairly and that the president won.
	It only means that there was nothing in the moral system, in the way people think morally, that would stop the left from cheating if they could.
	Anybody who is decent would cheat to prevent a fascist neo-Nazi from gaining power.
	Right?
	I would hope so.
	To be honest.
	All right.
	And we go to...
	Oh, yeah.
	So I wanted to read to you Alan Dershowitz.
	And Dershowitz is...
	Let's see here.
	There's so much that I cover at one time.
	Dershowitz has said, look, the president has the complete right to challenge...
	The election results, so long as what he does is ethical and legal, and that's exactly right.
	There are anomalies.
	Like, I said it at the time, I was very angry that night when I heard, oh, it's 10.30, we'll stop counting in swing states, big cities.
	What do you mean you stop counting?
	You have to get home that one night in your life?
	When there is this epochal national election taking place, and then they leave at 10.30, stop counting, and then everything is reversed in the morning, all the leads that the president had, which was a large number, and I'm supposed to believe nothing happened there, given what I've already established?
	That Democrats think it is moral to cheat in an election, and if they don't, there's something wrong with them morally.
	You can't believe that the guy is a neo-Nazi, fascist dictator, white supremacist, and not cheat.
	There's something wrong with you.
	So you either don't believe what you said about the president, or you have a moral dysfunction.
	But still, I'll honestly...
	If I can get away with it, I won't cheat to prevent this neo-Nazi from gaining power.
	All right, let's see.
	Alexandria, Louisiana, which is a city I happen to know well, believe it or not.
	Hello, Steve.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Thank you for taking the call.
	I just want to let you know I'm a big fan, and I listen to you all the time.
	I called a number of times before, or one time with the Kavanaugh hearings, and spoke to you about her testimony.
	As far as your question today, if there was a Nazi who was running for president, and you honestly believe that, I would hope that you would campaign as hard as you could against them, because God forbid that person was ever elected.
	I wouldn't cheat during an election.
	I would take more drastic action.
	I would, at that point, like they did in Germany, I would either try to...
	Wait, so you would try to kill him, but you wouldn't cheat in the election that got him into power?
	No, I would not, because that would come before he was elected, and it's un-American to cheat.
	Of course it's un-American to cheat.
	It's un-American to be a Nazi.
	You have a right to be a Nazi here, but if that...
	First of all, if that ever happened, our country would not be the same.
	And I remember a few weeks ago on a program, you said for the first time, and I think you said it even pained you to say, that this may be a time when the United States ceases to exist as it does today.
	That's right.
	That there would be a time when it's time to leave.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Hold on there.

	into the future normalizing the Iranian regime.
	Of course.
	The right time to normalize with Iran is when the regime complies with the basic set of rules and behaviors that we expect of every nation today.
	They continue to...
	Build up their missile program to extend their capacity to wreak terror across the world.
	They continue to behave in ways that are inconsistent with the commitments even that they made under the JCPOA itself.
	As crazy as that was, this is a theocracy, a kleptocracy.
	They have destroyed so much wealth and basic prosperity for the Iranian people themselves that we have supported for four years now.
	This is a crazy idea to think that you're going to get back into a deal that permitted So many people who have spent four years demonizing President Trump, and a lot of that demonizing you, will not say a bad word against the Iranian regime.
	Now, I know you think about international relations a lot.
	What is that?
	Why can they not come to grips?
	Have you thought about what it is in the American psyche on the left that will not let them denounce a cruel, barbaric regime?
	One might add anti-Semitic and one that continues to put at risk the basic understandings that we've built out over four years throughout the Middle East.
	No, I can't comprehend it.
	I couldn't comprehend it when the Obama-Biden administration before went for the JCPOA and ran the linchpin of their foreign policy in the Middle East.
	But going back to it, just be crazy.

	Trending now on The Larry Oller Show.
	music Folks, the new guy on Joe Biden's task force is named Dr. Michael Osterholm.
	He recommends a four to six week nationwide lockdown.
	We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers, for losses to small companies, to medium sized companies, for city, states, We could do all of that.
	If we did that, then we could lock down for four to six weeks.
	And if we did that...
	We could drive the numbers down like they've done in Asia, like they did in New Zealand and Australia.
	Okay.
	Man is recommending a four to six week nationwide lockdown, right?
	Here's what Dr. Fauci said about that.
	You know, I don't know.
	We would like to stay away from that, Robin, because there is no appetite for locking down.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Did you just hear what I heard?
	Let me just play it again.
	You know, I don't know.
	We would like to stay away from that, Robin, because there is no appetite for locking down.
	Did he just say there's no appetite?
	Hi, everybody.
	From the Epoch Times, a very important, uh...
	Newspaper, by the way, you should subscribe.
	E-P-O-C-H. An advisor to President Donald Trump called for people to, quote, rise up, unquote, after Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer imposed harsh measures to try to curb the spread of the virus.
	Whitmer, a Democrat, ordered high schools to close.
	Low limits on people allowed the gatherings and all indoor dining halted.
	I've not had indoor dining here for half a year, I think.
	L.A. Dr. Scott Atlas, a special advisor on COVID-19 for Trump, responded in a tweet saying, The only way this stops is if people rise up.
	You get what you accept.
	Atlas used the hashtags Freedom Matters and Step Up.
	I never was talking about violence at all.
	People vote.
	People peacefully protest.
	Never would I endorse or incite violence.
	Never.
	Capitalized never each time.
	Whitmer responded during an appearance on CNN's Situation Room.
	We know that the White House...
	That's weird.
	Screen just went dark on the Epoch Times page.
	Okay, that ends that.
	I'd love to know what that was.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	I have to tell the Epoch Times.
	Didn't do well on this matter.
	There's a great paper, but anyway, let's see if I can read through the darkness.
	Whitmer said she consulted, uh-oh, with people including, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.
	Ezekiel Emanuel is the hysteric who said that we have to close down until a vaccine from the beginning.
	He doesn't care if it's a year and a half.
	And I called him a crackpot.
	But it turns out that the crackpots are in charge.
	That's what's so amazing.
	That we're still in a lockdown.
	Sweden never went into a lockdown.
	And I look every day to see how many died there.
	It's a minuscule number.
	Sweden is now 20th in the world with no lockdown.
	It is 20th in per capita deaths.
	And all of them happened, virtually all, in old age homes.
	And they acknowledge they screwed up terribly.
	But that was it.
	These are, let's see, yeah, and former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb and others.
	These are people that we consult with in addition to our phenomenal public health experts at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, she said.
	I listen to people that actually have studied.
	And are well respected worldwide on these issues.
	And the individual that is doing the President's bidding, and not, excuse me, not the individual that is doing the President's bidding on this issue.
	But they're doing her bidding on this issue.
	She doesn't listen to world-class epidemiologists.
	World-class epidemiologists from Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford issued the Great Barrington Declaration.
	Which the press either ignored or almost entirely ignored, the mainstream media.
	I looked into it.
	I googled Great Barrington statement, or declaration, I think that's what it is.
	Great Barrington declaration, led by these scientists from Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford.
	And you will get, one after another, left-wing sites mocking them.
	And no mention of it in mainstream media.
	Please remember what I've told you so often.
	The left does not follow science.
	They follow the scientists they agree with.
	It's extremely important, including Governor Whitmer.
	And I agree with him about the lockdown.
	I'm having Thanksgiving the way I always have Thanksgiving.
	With all of the guests that we have.
	Anybody doesn't want to come because of health reasons, we completely respect that.
	I have lived life completely normally with a lot of people from the beginning.
	I have not missed a Friday night Shabbat dinner, Sabbath dinner with friends from the beginning, and at least a dozen of us.
	I will not give up my life for COVID, for hysteria and for fear.
	That's the way I have always led my life, and that's the way I lead it now.
	Want to live in fear?
	Fine.
	My daughter-in-law was just diagnosed with COVID. She barely has a sniffle.
	That's the usual response, especially among young people.
	She's in her 30s.
	That's right.
	And for that we have closed down society and ruined tens of millions of lives.
	Have people have no income?
	Do you know how awful that is?
	And as I always mention to you, the rise in drug use, the relapsing of addicts who had been on their way to sobriety.
	But you see, the people who advocate lockdown are doing fine.
	They get their salaries.
	They're living in nice homes.
	The lockdown proponents are overwhelmingly the rich who don't give a damn about the guy who's lost his restaurant.
	They don't give a damn.
	Whitmer doesn't give a damn about these people.
	Her actions show it, I'm sure, in her heart.
	If you asked her, do you care about the people who can no longer?
	Support their families?
	Or about all the kids who are now being abused and the spouses and significant others being abused because of this interminable lockdown?
	Oh, of course I care.
	But there's a greater good here.
	Just like Cuomo said, we save one life.
	It's all worth it.

	Republicans should be on to Georgia.
	Bill Belichick, coach of the New England Patriots, had a line from his most famous news conference ever.
	After a 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2014, Belichick answered question after question with, we're on to Cincinnati.
	After Joe Biden's victory was declared by media organizations on Saturday, the mantra of Republicans for the next two months should be, we are on to Georgia.
	Because on January 5, Georgians will decide two United States Senate seats and run off elections.
	The course of the nation over the next two years is in the balance.
	If Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler win, Americans will have divided government and compromise.
	If left-wing, indeed radical, Democratic challengers John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock win, the nation will see Supreme Court packing, cuts in the military spending, and socialized medicine.
	If Trump wants to come back in 2024, it starts in the Peach State on January 5.

	Would you believe it?
	Of the two of them, which one do you think it would be?
	Raphael Warnock or John Ossoff?
	You'd probably think Ossoff, surely a guy with reverend in front of his name, wouldn't call police gangsters and thugs.
	But actually, you would be incorrect.
	It's the...
	It's the Reverend who has called police officers in America gangsters and thugs.
	Now, we got a lot of drama and emotion and raw intensity over what it means to be a police officer in 2020. The George Floyd death hurt.
	It hurt the country.
	It tore the country apart.
	People took to the streets.
	People rioted and looted while the media gave rioters and looters cover by calling those peaceful protests.
	But many, many, many more people did peacefully protest the death of a man who we witnessed in a nine-minute video under the knee of a police officer.

	So I happen to know well one of the leading doctors in Houston, an ER doctor, at the big hospital, I think it was Methodist Hospital.
	He said, it's just not true.

	The Middle East is a more stable place today than it was when President Trump took office.
	Are the Abraham Accords, Mr. Secretary, going to thrive, not just for four years, but for four decades and beyond?
	You know, what's fundamentally shifted is by President Trump making a few simple decisions based on his belief in conservative realism.
	Jerusalem is, in fact, the capital of Israel.
	Golan Heights, in fact, are inside of that country.
	It's not illegal, per se, for every settlement to be established.
	Those basic understandings, along with a commitment that says to the Gulf states, You are better off with a foreign policy that recognizes Israel.
	That is the direction of travel for humanity.
	It's the direction of travel in the Middle East.
	And President Trump took away this notion that, absent solving the Israel-Palestinian problem, you can't increase stability, security, and prosperity in the Middle East.
	That is now gone.
	No one can possibly believe that anymore.
	And I think that's deeply connected to the pressure that we've put on Iran.
	If you undermine that pressure, if you undermine the confidence that the Gulf states have...
	That the United States will be a partner for peace in the Middle East, we are in for a very difficult long time.
	Mr. Secretary, I want to turn to the Chinese Communist Party and to the conservative realism about it that you and President Trump have articulated and defended.
	Do we expect, short-term, more sanctions in December and January on entities like Huawei?
	So I don't want to get out in front of what decisions the president will make, but make no mistake about the work that we're doing to chem the threat from the Chinese Communist Party continues.
	So there's still a fair amount of work to do.
	The State Department's got work to do.

	J.B. Pritzker, who is of the Hyatt Hotel fortune, multi-billionaire, ran for governor in 2018, defeated incumbent Republican Bruce Rauner.
	He spent $100 million to become governor.
	And basically, people said, if you want it that bad, you could be governor of Illinois.
	So J.B. Pritzker...
	He's not a very smart man.
	And so he spent $56 million of his own money recently to promote something called the fair tax in Illinois.
	The fair tax would have dramatically increased taxes on all people in Illinois.
	He spent $56 million.
	Public sector teacher unions spent money on it.
	It was an overwhelming...
	Campaign to try and implement a tax hike in Illinois.
	I was almost certain this tax hike was going to be voted for overwhelmingly and decisively.
	And I spent a lot of time here in Arizona, and in Arizona Prop 208 passed, which raised taxes in Arizona.
	So Arizona raises taxes.
	How did Illinois vote on the tax hike?
	In a stunning victory for taxpayers.
	And this connects directly to President Donald Trump, everybody.
	It's a very important point.
	The fair tax lost 55% to 45%.
	The bad guys lost in Illinois.
	Big time.
	They lost by 10 points.

	Will you oppose as long as you are a Secretary of State and long into the future normalizing the Iranian regime?
	you Of course.
	The right time to normalize with Iran is when the regime complies with the basic set of rules and behaviors that we expect of every nation today.
	They continue to Build up their missile program to extend their capacity to wreak terror across the world.
	They continue to behave in ways that are inconsistent with the commitments even that they made under the JCPOA itself.
	As crazy as that was, this is a theocracy, a kleptocracy.
	They have destroyed so much wealth and basic prosperity for the Iranian people themselves that we have supported for four years now.
	This is a crazy idea to think that you're going to get back into a deal that permitted A clean pathway for the Iranians to have a nuclear weapon by which they could terrorize the entire world.
	So many people who have spent four years demonizing President Trump, and a lot of that demonizing you, will not say a bad word against the Iranian regime.
	Now I know you think about international relations a lot.

	All right, everybody.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	For the record, I will be having Thanksgiving with the same number of people I had last year.
	I have had every Friday night dinner with the same number as before the lockdown.
	I have contempt for Newsom.
	I have contempt for the New York Times.
	I have contempt for the Democratic Party and all the other hysterics who only listen to the scientists they agree with.
	It is another one of the grand lies of the left that they follow science.
	They follow the scientists they agree with.
	The complete ignoring of the Great Barrington Declaration is a perfect example.
	I bet that not one of your liberal or left relatives has ever heard of it.
	A vast number of scientists signed it, led by epidemiologists from Oxford, Harvard, and Stanford.
	Who are against the lockdowns and, of course, is ignored.
	They're not interested in science.
	They're interested in lockdowns.
	I don't know what thrill they get out of controlling people.
	Somebody made a point that a scientist wants to feel important.
	Everybody wants to feel important.
	So do you feel important if you tell people to lockdown?
	Or do you feel important if you tell people, go about your life with whatever precautions you want, but normally?
	So obviously it's the first one.
	And they feel very relevant then.
	These people work in obscurity all of their lives, and then they get the focus of attention, how often the pandemics take place.
	Everybody has motives, including some people who just believe better safe than sorry.
	Yes, it's better to lock down.
	It's not their restaurant that's closing.
	It's not their nail salon.
	No, it's not their small business.
	It's not their spouse who works at a movie theater, who has no income now.
	I don't think people with incomes know the pain of not having an income.
	I really don't.
	See, I think that sympathy is possible, but I'm not sure that absolute empathy is possible.
	It's not possible.
	None of us can empathize with someone being tortured.
	You can intellectually go there, but it's like A subject that I have, for whatever reason, always been preoccupied with, parents who lose children.
	Parents who lose children really can only, can get empathy only from other parents who lost children.
	This is the way it works.
	It's the way we're built.
	So the people who didn't lose their jobs and didn't lose their savings and didn't lose the dignity of employment, they don't empathize with the people who did.
	First of all, they can't.
	But they could at least sympathize.
	But they don't.
	Cuomo's statement at the very beginning, if everything I did saves one life, I will sleep well at night.
	Sean, do we have the original Cuomo statement made in March when he locked down New York State?
	Why did he lock down Buffalo and Syracuse?
	Because of the deaths in Manhattan?
	Hmm?
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	That's it.
	He's happy.
	So all the crushing of lives I have done, Cuomo.
	By the way, he killed people.
	I mean, Cuomo was actually one of the biggest killers of people by forcing nursing homes to not discriminate against COVID patients.
	So it's somewhat of a joke that he talked about saving lives.
	But he's a Democrat, so the press doesn't reveal or dwell upon these issues.
	So there's a whole mixture of motives, all of them unhealthy, some outright evil, that want lockdowns.
	Now, as I've said the whole time, right-wing governments have done lockdowns too.
	India and Israel being the most obvious, conservative theoretically.
	I don't know what Boris Johnson is, frankly.
	I don't know if he has any ideology.
	They're locked down fans as well.
	So for them, I think the animating issue is, how will I be looked at at this time and by history?
	Under my watch, X number of my countrymen have died.
	That's it.
	That's more dramatic.
	The next number of my countrymen have lost.
	Their ability to provide for their families.
	For the left in America, it's absolutely awesome.
	The government becomes more and more relied upon.
	And how does the government solve that?
	With more printing of money.
	So will we enter inflationary hell?
	I don't know.
	I don't know how much money it takes to print to do that.
	The lockdown.
	So anyway, as I said, I will be having Thanksgiving with the same number of people I had Thanksgiving with last year.
	And I want Gavin Newsom to know he's invited to my home.
	He'll actually meet people who are able to live normally despite his hysteria.
	It might be healthy for him.
	What was it?
	He was just caught eating.
	There were 12 people, and they weren't one family, and he was at a super expensive restaurant, like $750 a person.
	Never ate in such a restaurant.
	What did they do?
	How could something be that expensive?
	Anyway, that's fine with me.
	I don't care if that's where he wants to spend his money.
	I'd rather spend it on audio equipment.
	And photography equipment.
	So we all have our preferences.
	What I find remarkable is he violated the law.
	It was 12 people.
	I think that that was...
	What is the number?
	I don't know what the number is.
	Anyway, it's not law.
	Do what you want, ladies and gentlemen.
	If you're scared, don't have a Thanksgiving dinner with anybody but the person you're living with.
	Okay?
	But if you're not scared...
	Don't listen to your governors.
	That was what I was just telling you from the Scott Atlas, the doctor in the Trump administration.
	Here's a headline that'll make your day.
	Jeff Bezos names first recipients of his $10 billion Earth fund for combating climate change.
	The wealthy are doing so much harm on this planet.
	That it's unique in history.
	Imagine if you decided to give $10 billion to cancer research, Alzheimer's research, ALS research, instead to combating climate change.
	Now, let me ask you a question.
	If you're a scientist, if you're a climatologist, and you know there's virtually no money, And there's only defamation and cancellation.
	If you say, you know what?
	The world is getting warmer, but I don't foresee an existential destruction of the world in the next 15, 30, 45, or 90 years.
	There's hysteria about global warming.
	I'm not denying global warming.
	I'm just saying there's hysteria.
	Why would any scientist who believed that say it?
	All the money is on the left with the hysterics.
	Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post.
	Did it get better?
	No.
	It just can print all the leftism it wants and have no worry about finances.
	This is where their money is going.
	How much did BLM get, Black Lives Matter, from the Ford Foundation or Rockefeller Foundation?
	I think it was Ford.
	How many millions of dollars?
	Think about it.
	The good they could do with their money and instead politicize it.
	Everything's politicized.
	And when it's politicized, it's always on the left.
	That's why I buy whatever I can, not from Amazon.
	I mean, I buy, I mean, you know, cheap items there, but anything over $20, I try to buy at an independent website and support them.

	Is the putative announcement of Vice President Biden as quote-unquote present-elect, does that mean that we will be condemned to slipping further behind other nations whose people have wanted to come here like your parents did, Dinesh?
	I mean, it's kind of funny, Seb, but we might reach a point soon where we will need election observers from countries like India to ratify that the American electoral process is legitimate.
	I never thought I would see a time when not only would the media ignore huge stories, because think of how hard that is to pull off in a free market.
	There are thousands of journalists, hundreds of media institutions.
	Why won't even one guy at the Dallas Morning News or the Sacramento Bee go, listen, all my idiot colleagues don't want to cover the Biden scandal.
	I'm going to do it, and I'm going to become the most famous media reporter in the country.
	But even that guy won't do it.
	He's scared.
	Can I ask you a personal question?
	Of course.
	You have the footage, and I presume that footage is not, some of your footage is dramatization, some of it is incredibly frightening passage from the end of 1984. But there's footage of a judge, the judge who sentenced you to prison.
	That's not reenactment.
	That's the real judge, isn't it, Dinesh?
	Well, there's a little bit of both because there is a real judge.
	But the reason we had to recreate that is he refused to allow me to film in his courtroom.
	For people who are really, really crushed by how this election appears really crushed by how this election appears to be turning out, Donald Trump has changed this country.
	Donald Trump has changed this party.
	And the man is not going to go away.
	Donald Trump has expanded the number.
	It appears that he increased his percentage of the black vote by about 50%.
	And I heard some casters say, well, it's not that big of a deal.
	Really?
	If your ratings went up 50%, you'd say it's not that big of a deal.
	It's a huge deal.
	And Democrats are losing ground with blacks every four years for the last several election cycles.
	2020, looks like Trump is getting around 12%.
	That's the highest percentage of the black vote any Republican candidate for president has received since Gerald Ford, 1976. And the reason that there's so much anger about Nancy Pelosi within her own caucus is that she confidently predicted that they were going to pick up anywhere from 10 to 15 seats.
	They're down six, maybe even more, with about a half a dozen still yet to be decided with Republicans ahead.
	It's possible Republicans could gain double digits.
	That would be massive.
	And, of course, they assumed that they were going to take control, but the Senate did not.
	And in that conference call that they had that they leaked, It is clear that a whole lot of people were PO'd at the so-called squad and blamed, defund the police, Medicare for All, Green New Deal for the defeat.

	Hello.
	Well, thank you, Dennis.
	I just wanted to say that cheating is never moral, but fighting back is.
	And you know that as well as anybody.
	You fight back every day in your way.
	You engage in civil disobedience.
	And you're not a coward.
	Cheating is cowardly.
	You need to, like the founders, put your life on the line by signing the Declaration of Independence, knowing that if they lost, that they would have lost their lives.
	The situation in this country may be coming to a point where we have to take those violent measures and fight back because we're not going to lose our country to leftists.
	And you and I both know that leftism and leftists are just as dangerous as Hitler and Nazi Germany.
	Again, it's not moral to cheat, but it is moral to fight back.
	You say all the time, there's fighters, there's those who help the fighters, and there are people who don't do anything.
	The time is coming that we have to fight, but not cheat, because it's cowardly to cheat, and you're not a coward.
	Well, okay.
	I'd rather cheat than kill.
	I mean, that's the irony.
	You say, well, we may have to resort to violence, but we can't cheat.
	Did Churchill cheat Hitler?
	He said, what was it, a bodyguard of lies, I think was the phrase.
	You know how much Hitler was deceived about the D-Day invasion?
	That was constant cheating.
	Of course you could cheat when you're talking about grotesque evil.
	That's why that was my original question of the show today.
	Ask any liberal or leftist relative, do you think Trump is a neo-Nazi, white supremacist, fascist dictator?
	Or any three of them?
	If they say yes, then ask them, isn't it then moral to cheat to prevent him from being elected?
	Of course it is.
	I mean, obviously.
	My friend in Alexandria, Louisiana doesn't agree.
	We differ.
	All right.
	This is the world in which we live.
	It's so fast.
	It's so amazing how fast it seems, but it isn't fast.
	It's a hundred years in the works, what the left has done to this country.
	But what happens is it all accumulates and then it explodes.
	And that's what we have seen.
	With mayors and governors not stopping riots.
	It's quite remarkable.
	With thousands of people in the sciences saying it's okay to demonstrate against racism.
	Health-wise, it's okay.
	You can't have Thanksgiving dinner with 12 people.
	But you certainly can riot and protest without masks in the tens of thousands or thousands, whatever it might be.
	Get it?
	This is what health officials are telling you.
	Don't have Thanksgiving, but protest, yes.
	Do you understand the utter corruption of so many of the people in the health field?
	Corrupt.
	They're morally corrupt.
	They do nice things in their daily work, and they're morally corrupt.
	I don't know why that's difficult to chew gum and walk at the same time.
	With regard to, think of the messages you're getting.
	Riot and protest, but don't have Thanksgiving or Christmas.
	And a lot of people will listen.
	Too bad.
	It's really too bad.

	I just feel like my view is kind of crazy and radical, but I see that we're like in the Communist Revolution.
	Like you said, it's been a long time in the making, and they're dedicated, hardworking, continuously pushing forward.
	And I see that like this is their opportunity through a combination of circumstances, and that they're going to take full advantage of it and really try to Grab power.
	And I see like Antifa is the domestic terrorist organization that provides the needed and necessary violence and what's worse, the intimidation needed to seize power.
	And we always talk about socialism instead of communism.
	A few days ago I was talking with a friend in England and he said Americans need to know the difference between socialism and communism.
	But we always use the word socialism when it's really, what I see, is really a communism.
	Yeah, I agree with you, but the distinction is academic.
	Countries that have called themselves socialists were usually communist.
	Back in a moment. Back in a moment.
	Back in a moment.
	The course of the nation over the next two years is in the balance.
	If Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler win, Americans will have divided government and compromise.
	If left-wing, indeed radical, Democratic challengers John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock win, the nation will see Supreme Court packing, cuts in the military spending, and socialized medicine.
	If Trump wants a comeback in 2024, it starts in the Peach State on January 5. We're on to Georgia.

	Where are we?
	What direction are we headed towards?
	If I told you that one of these two Democrat candidates For Senate has called police gangsters and thugs.
	Would you believe it?
	Of the two of them, which one do you think it would be?
	Raphael Warnock or John Ossoff?
	You'd probably think Ossoff, surely a guy with reverend in front of his name, wouldn't call police gangsters and thugs.
	But actually, you would be incorrect.
	It's the...
	It's the Reverend who has called police officers in America gangsters and thugs.
	Now, we got a lot of drama and emotion and raw intensity over what it means to be a police officer in 2020. The George Floyd death hurt.
	It hurt the country.
	It tore the country apart.
	People took to the streets.
	People rioted and looted while the media gave rioters and looters cover by calling those peaceful protests.
	But many, many, many more people did peacefully protest the death of a man who we witnessed in a nine-minute video under the knee of a police officer.
	But of course...
	But of course the left's version of policing is to reimagine it all.
	We can have social workers.
	We can have social workers.

	India today, in my understanding, has voter ID for every single Indian citizen.
	But we don't in America.
	Are we being overtaken by countries like India?
	Is the putative announcement of Vice President Biden as quote-unquote present-elect, does that mean that we will be condemned to slipping further behind other nations whose people have wanted to come here like your parents did, Dinesh?
	I mean, it's kind of funny, Seb, but we might reach a point soon where we will need election observers from countries like India to ratify that the American electoral process is legitimate.
	I never thought I would see a time when not only would the media ignore huge stories, because think of how hard that is to Okay,
	old Dennis Prager here, one of my favorite groups on Earth, Job Creators Network.
	I mean it, I never bluff you, and I don't use those terms easily.
	The amount of good these people do is almost immeasurable.
	And now they're working on mobilizing the vote in Georgia.
	And I have the president of Job Creators Network, Alfredo Ortiz.
	You are right now, Alfredo, you are in Georgia right now?
	Is that where you live?
	I am, and we are here bringing in the team and others, really trying to mobilize things and getting things ready.
	So, fortunately, I've been here for a while, live here, and know the folks here.
	So, ground zero, and we're excited and ready to go.
	But I have to tell you, Dennis.
	We're not taking anything for granted, and I have to tell you, it makes me a little worried because I hear a lot of complacency on the Republican side, to be frank, and that makes me worried.
	You're kidding me.
	Nope.
	Nope.
	I'm hearing it, and I can't believe it.
	That's right.
	No, no, I know.
	I can't believe it.
	That's correct.
	It's amazing.
	Look, I mean, they are already mobilizing.
	We know, you know, Faith Abrams did a lot, you know, to kind of bring it to this point here where we do have these runoffs on January 5th, and she's mobilizing the Democrats, and Ossoff is as well, and his camp is pulling that off as well.
	Again, Job Careers Network and the organization, you know, we created a super PAC for this now, the Keep America, America Action Funded.
	You know, we were working that campaign on a national basis, but now with the Georgia runoffs, we are here, we are going to be here through January 5th, and we are encouraging folks to get out early on their vote, which starts here in Georgia December 14th, And we're driving a good old-fashioned grassroots campaign here, Dennis, with statewide radio, social media, bus tours, billboards, small business advocates fanning across the country.
	I mean, excuse me, across the state.
	Is there a massive amount of advertising in Georgia right now?
	You know, there is a ton of TV ads.
	Yeah, TV ads, right?
	You know, a ton of TV ads, Dennis, but as you know, to bring out our baits, It's going through folks like yourself and getting the word out, you know, yourself and Hugh and Prager, excuse me, and Gallagher and Larry Elder, all these folks, you know, great voices out there talking to the radio.
	We're going local as well with Eric Erickson, really leveraging everything.
	Again, we don't want to take anything for granted.
	You know the difference, obviously, here.
	I mean, if the Democrats really take control of the Senate.
	That's the last fireball, really, and they will have full control in between Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer.
	Then, I mean, I risk, obviously, I risk, take a risk in saying this, but it'll be very hard to be optimistic if the left gets control of the Senate, the House, and the presidency.
	Well, they'll have absolute free reign almost at that point to make massive changes to the direction of this country and drive it towards socialism and a permanent Democrat majority.
	You know what they'll be doing, right?
	Not only is it the Green New Deal, the $15 minimum wage, the gradual takeover of the health care system, it's court-packing, it's statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico.
	It's everything that we fear could happen, could happen.
	So we have to make sure that conservatives get out there and vote early.
	If I were a Democrat, I'd say vote often, but we only vote once.
	But truly, you know, December 14th...
	Why is it advantageous to vote early?
	Well, you know, because the other option in some cases is the mail-in ballot.
	It's Christmas time.
	You know, it's New Year's.
	People are going to be on vacation, Dennis, and that's my biggest concern.
	So it's to ensure that people vote.
	Yes, yes.
	Okay, fine.
	I want to make sure.
	And, Dennis, I don't want to get into the whole mail-in ballot thing again, right?
	And if our side just kind of...
	Alright, so let me address that issue.
	Are you, not are you, but are the Republicans doing anything to ensure a fair election?
	Well, there's a lot going on on the election integrity.
	Obviously now with the recount and everything that's going on, There's a lot of focus on that, but every day there seems to be more information that's coming out on election integrity, and especially on the mail-in ballot issue.
	So that's why, you know, again, I... All right, hold on there.
	I've got to take a break.
	This is really...
	To say that the Georgia races are important, it's as important as almost anything that has happened in American history.
	That's how important it is.

	Thank you.
	You're there.
	You're a lawyer.
	What do you see happening right now?
	Where are we?
	Yeah, well, where we're at is uncovering just massive, massive fraud.
	And there will be lawsuits that will be filed in the forthcoming days, possibly even within the next 24 hours.
	And remember, of course, for all the American people who are wondering, you know, when are we going to see the evidence?
	When are we going to get to the bottom of this?
	Investigations do take time.
	We're working as rapidly as possible.
	It's only been a little over a week.
	But what we are discovering, the people who are coming forward as whistleblowers to explain what they saw, not only at the polling locations, and then how they were denied access to the polling locations.
	But even more than that, Eric, what we're seeing with this Dominion voting system.
	This is huge and the president has tweeted about this today that reports are coming out and what we're seeing of possibly up to 2.7 million or more votes that were simply deleted that were for President Trump how their voting system was able to have Users that would log in and see the votes as they were coming in.
	And if it was a Trump vote, they could manually change it to a Biden vote.
	They could duplicate the vote if it was Biden and have a person actually cast not one, but six votes for Biden.
	So all of this technology, we really, really need a forensic audit.
	We need to know exactly what happened.
	And there's even more than this that I can't even go into detail right now about this company.

	The Middle East is a more stable place today than it was when President Trump took office.
	Are the Abraham Accords, Mr. Secretary, going to thrive, not just for four years, but for four decades and beyond?
	You know, what's fundamentally shifted is by President Trump making a few simple decisions based on his belief in conservative realism.
	Jerusalem is, in fact, the capital of Israel.
	Golan Heights, in fact, are inside of that country.
	It's not illegal, per se, for every settlement to be established.
	Those basic understandings, along with a commitment that says to the Gulf states, you are better off with a foreign policy that recognizes Israel.
	That is the direction of travel for humanity.
	It's the direction of travel in the Middle East.
	And President Trump took away this notion that after solving the Israel-Palestinian problem, you can't increase stability, security, and prosperity in the Middle East.
	That is now gone.
	No one can possibly believe that anymore.
	And I think that's deeply connected to the pressure that we've put on Iran.
	If you undermine that pressure, if you undermine the confidence that the Gulf states have that the United States will be a partner for peace in the Middle East, we are in for a very difficult long time.
	Mr. Secretary, I want to turn to the Chinese Communist Party and to the conservative realism about it that you and President Trump have articulated and defended.
	Do we expect short-term more sanctions in December and January on entities like Y-Way?
	You've got to see that.

	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Talking to Alfredo Cortez.
	Excuse me, Ortiz.
	I ruin most people's names, including my own.
	No worry, Den.
	Well, I don't worry, but I don't like doing it.
	It is what it is.
	It's actually, I'm not joking, it's a genetic thing in my family.
	Only with names.
	It's a very odd thing, but everybody has this thing.
	But you know, Dennis, I love being on the Dennis Miller Show.
	That was good.
	You see, that was good.
	Ladies and gentlemen, this is proof that Alfredo Ortiz is real.
	I am not talking to a recording from the Job Creators Network.
	You don't know how much I love that.
	Really, that was one of the great moments of my radio career.
	I love that you did it.
	I love being ribbed.
	It was great.
	You know, it's very funny.
	I've always had this view whenever I have been, you know, the butt of a joke or a rib like that or whatever.
	My only concern was, was it a good line?
	Not, are my feelings hurt?
	And it was like my mother said to me, you'll love this.
	So I began lecturing at 21. I have a very strange life.
	So when I was about 23, my mother, And I were talking one day, and she said, are you getting paid for your talks?
	I go, yeah.
	She goes, that's amazing, because I could listen to you for free, and I don't listen.
	So whenever I tell that, people think, your mother said that?
	And I'm thinking, are you kidding?
	It was such a great line.
	I remember it the rest of my life.
	I had zero pain.
	It was just a great line.
	Anyway, it makes me wonder...
	You and I should go to the great...
	What is it?
	Aquatic Museum?
	What is it called again?
	Oh, the Georgia Aquarium?
	Yeah, the Georgia Aquarium, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That would be good.
	That would be good.
	We'll bring Bernie Marcus along.
	That's right.
	Exactly right.
	You know, I gave a lecture there, and I can't tell you, it was unique.
	While I'm talking to people, we have, you know, sharks coming by.
	Oh, I know.
	It's crazy.
	It is.
	It truly is.
	It is an amazing, amazing aquarium.
	I encourage all your listeners.
	Yeah, no, it's the greatest.
	It may be the greatest, yes.
	All right, so back to Georgia.
	You began by telling me there might be complacency among Republicans in Georgia.
	Now, so let me just say to my listeners in Georgia.
	The fate of the United States is in your hands.
	How the hell can you be complacent?
	Well, I'll tell you, it's really not that the Georgians are complacent.
	I hate saying this because I'll probably lose all my friends from D.C. But, you know, the D.C. folks are coming in and saying, you know what, we win these all the time.
	So, Alfredo, I don't know why you're so worried about this.
	What does it mean we win these all the time?
	I don't understand that.
	Because we win run-offs, right?
	Because that's what we do.
	I get conservative.
	They come out during these elections.
	But this is not an election of anything that we've ever seen.
	I mean, this is for control of this country, literally.
	Yes, that's right.
	You know the Senate.
	Whoever controls the Senate.
	Chuck Schumer becomes the leader of the Senate.
	The entire Democratic agenda.
	It becomes reality.
	So we're talking the Green New Deal, the $15 minimum wage, cork packing, the taker of the healthcare system.
	Oh, the cancel culture.
	Everything.
	Yes.
	Everything.
	And so we are not taking anything for granted in this.
	I have to say one quick thing before I do.
	We have started the Keep America America Action Fund.
	We ask people, I'm begging your listeners to please, $1, $0.50, $5, or whatever.
	No, I'll send money.
	Where do you want it done?
	KeepAmericaAmerica.com?
	Yep, that's it.
	KeepAmericaAmerica.com.
	So the money I send there now...
	Is going to go to Georgia?
	It's going to Georgia.
	And I'll tell you what we're doing.
	We're doing good old-fashioned barnstorm.
	We've got statewide radio going on.
	We've got social media.
	We've got bus tours.
	We've got billboards.
	We've got advocate programs with small business owners, with doctors that are advocating for the two senators.
	I mean, everything is on the line.
	And like I said, I am not taking anything for granted at this point.
	And I have to tell you, Stacey Abrams is quite the adversary.
	She already has claimed that she has 625,000 people signed up to do mail-in ballots.
	Yes, exactly, exactly.
	All right, I'm donating right after the break.
	Keep America America.
	Let's keep talking because I want to help.
	Georgia is the difference, folks, even more than the presidential election.
	Georgia is now the issue.
	What will happen when the left has no adversary, none whatsoever?
	Then Barack Obama's dream, the fundamental transformation of America, will take place.
	I don't want to fundamentally transform a pretty, pretty decent place.

	That's the end of the story.
	But even more than that, when you have this much of intentional malfeasance and you have this much intentional criminal activity, this is really a disenfranchisement of the entire nation.
	And so this isn't just about those specific votes that were manipulated.
	This is about leaving open this electronic activity for this type of fraud on purpose.

	there's this four-page document where an Assistant Attorney General in Texas says, I recommend that we don't use this because it's too open to manipulation and fraud.

	Talking to you about Amazon.
	And Jeff Bezos giving hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to these left-wing environmental groups?
	Well, here's something that I just caught from a few weeks ago and didn't bring to your attention.
	Wall Street Journal.
	Amazon cancels Shelby Steele.
	The company won't stream a film on the, quote, real victimization of black America.
	As a documentary, What Killed Michael Brown?
	Is Everything Going For It?
	It's an editorial of the Wall Street Journal.
	Its subject is timely about the pre-George Floyd killing of Michael Brown by a police officer that set off riots at Ferguson, Missouri in 2014. It's written and narrated by Shelby Steele, the prominent African-American scholar at the Hoover Institution, and directed by his filmmaker son, Eli Steele.
	Or Ellie Steele.
	I'm not sure which pronunciation.
	Its subject, race relations, is a major fault line in this year's presidential election, one reason the Steele scheduled their film for release on October 16th.
	Our columnist, Jason Riley, wrote about the film on Wednesday.
	One problem.
	What killed Michael Brown doesn't fit the dominant narrative of white police officers killing young black men because of systemic racism.
	As a result, says the younger Mr. Steele, Amazon rejected it for its streaming service.
	We were cancelled, plain, and simple.
	In an email, Amazon informed the Steele's that their film, quote, is not eligible for publishing because it, quote, Prime Video's content quality expectations.
	Amazon went on to say it, quote, will not be accepting resubmission of this title, and this decision may not be appealed.
	Yes, thank you Jeff Bezos for what you've created.
	WhatKilledMichaelBrown.com That's what happens.
	Look, Netflix would not stream in no safe spaces, even though it's filled with liberals.
	My film with Adam Carolla.
	The threat to free speech in this country is not coming from the government.
	It's coming from big tech, from private companies.
	It's the first threat to free speech of serious threat in American history.
	It's the only thing Americans always agreed on.
	But it is also the thing that every left-wing group that has ever ascended to power has stopped.
	There is no example of the left in power and free speech allowed.
	Now you want to vote in Georgia?
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Will you oppose as long as you are Secretary of State and long into the future normalizing the Iranian regime?
	Of course.
	The right time to normalize with Iran is when the regime complies with the basic set of rules and behaviors that we expect of every nation today.
	They continue to...
	Build up their missile program to extend their capacity to wreak terror across the world.
	They continue to behave in ways that are inconsistent with the commitments even that they made under the JCPOA itself.
	As crazy as that was, this is a theocracy, a kleptocracy.
	They have destroyed so much wealth and basic prosperity for the Iranian people themselves that we have supported for four years now.
	This is a crazy idea to think that you're going to get back into a deal that permitted A clean pathway for the Iranians to have a nuclear weapon by which they could terrorize the entire world.
	So many people who have spent four years demonizing President Trump, and a lot of that demonizing you, will not say a bad word against the Iranian regime.
	Now I know you think about international relations a lot.
	What is that?
	Why can they not come to grips?
	Have you thought about what it is in the American psyche on the left that will not let them denounce a cruel barbaric regime?
	One might add anti-Semitic and one that continues to put at risk the basic understandings that we've built out over four years throughout the Middle East.
	No, I can't comprehend it.
	I couldn't comprehend it when the Obama-Biden administration before went for the JCPOA and ran the linchpin of their foreign policy in the Middle East.

	The third hour on Tuesdays, ladies and gentlemen, is the Ultimate Issues Hour.
	As they would say in Britain, we say issues, they say issues.
	And it's sort of the tomato-tomato thing.
	The big issues of life.
	I got a big one for you today, and it's got a new example.
	I've talked about this.
	I don't know about an ultimate issues hour, I might have, but...
	I've talked about it in the course of my radio career.
	I've mentioned it a lot of times, though I haven't delved into it often at all.
	Now we're going to delve into it.
	And it's a very interesting issue because there are people who normally agree with me all the time and don't agree with me on this issue.
	But it's a huge issue.
	Huge.
	In my column today, Tuesdays is my column day, DennisPrager.com, TownHall.com, the issue comes up, even though I don't mention the issue.
	The issue is gradation of evil, gradations of sin, or gradations of evil, or, if you will, gradations of good.
	I have, I assumed before I had a radio show, Radio show has taught me that a number of my assumptions were not accurate.
	I had assumed everybody understands that there are gradations of sin or gradations of evil.
	That molesting a child is worse, far worse, than taking home a bunch of pens, ballpoint pens, fountain pens I would consider a different category of morality.
	But a bunch of ballpoint pens from the office.
	Right?
	So I assume that everybody...
	It's so everybody that I can never even imagine a disagreement.
	That molesting a child versus stealing some pens from the office.
	They're both sins.
	They're both wrong.
	But there are gradations.
	And it's fascinating that the opposition comes from both the right and the left.
	So the right opposition is from religious people who say, in God's eyes, all sins are rebellion, and therefore all sins are equal.
	In man's eyes, they're not.
	And these are very sweet people who call.
	It's very obvious to me, and we agree on virtually everything.
	But I have to say, and I have said it, I'm very worried about how God looks to humanity.
	Even God worries how he looks to humanity.
	That's Moses' argument when he argues with God when God wants to destroy the Israelites.
	He said, what will the nations of the world say if you do that?
	In other words, God's reputation matters.
	And if we make God look foolish, it doesn't help the cause of religion.
	If God really doesn't think there's a difference between taking pens from the office and molesting a child, this is not the God I would believe in.
	I would sooner be an atheist.
	Okay, so it's...
	It's to me so obvious.
	All sin is what is sin, but not all sin is equal.
	So here's a left example.
	That's a right example of rejecting my notion that there are gradations of evil.
	So I have my column today is what American schools should teach about race, racism, and slavery.
	If I've ever begged you to send out a column of mine to as many liberal friends as you have, or relatives, this is one example.
	This is one you should.
	So, of course, as I write, so what should American schools teach about race?
	They should, of course, teach students about slavery and racism.
	But if truth and morality are to matter, Students must also learn that slavery was universal.
	They would therefore learn about Muslim Arab slavery, slavery among Africans, slavery among Native Americans and Native South Americans, and slavery in Asia and India.
	They would learn that it was the West, beginning with England and America, that abolished slavery, and they would learn that the abolitionists were overwhelmingly religious Christians.
	Animated by the Bible and Judeo-Christian values.
	They would learn that unlike the slaves under Arab-Muslim rule, most black slaves in America were allowed to have children and form families.
	They would read Herbert Guttman's The Black Family in Slavery and Freedom, 1750-1925, about which the New York Times wrote when it was published in 1976. Gutman has performed an immense service in burying the idea that slavery destroyed the black family.
	For the record, Gutman was a professor of the left and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
	They would learn that tens of millions of African slaves under Islam slash Arab rule were not allowed to form families.
	Most males were castrated.
	And so on.
	I read the comments not only on my own articles.
	I read them.
	I read the comments after other articles.
	I love the comments section.
	It doesn't bring me joy.
	I don't love it because it's fun, but because I learn so much.
	So one guy writes in.
	I want to read if I can find this fast.
	One guy writes in because I compared American The slavery in America to the slavery under Arab Muslim rule, which was far greater as it happens.
	And a guy writes in that, well, you know, something to the effect.
	Oh, I know how I'll do a search on LOL. Because he did.
	That's what he did.
	He wrote LOL. You know, what a joke.
	No, I can't find it.
	Anyway, so the guy writes in, you know, oh, so America's slavery was nice.
	As, you know, mocking the idea that there could be gradations of evil even within slavery.
	Yes, castrating all the black slaves, all the black male slaves.
	Which is what was done under Islamic slavery to far more millions than happened in the United States.
	The United States had 340,000 Africans shipped there.
	Brazil had 12 million.
	And in the Arab world, there was more than both.
	And yes, allowing the black slave male, in many, not all cases at all, and sometimes he was forcibly, Removed from the family to be sold elsewhere is an evil, terrible evil.
	But by and large, the black male slave in the United States was allowed to have a family.
	The black male slave under Arab rule was castrated.
	They became eunuchs.
	Anyway, most black slavery under Arab rule was sexual slavery.
	Two to one ratio, female to male.
	So, yes, there are gradations of sin, and there are gradations of evil.
	That is the application of common sense to morality.
	1-8-Prager-776-877-243-7776.
	I think it should be taught.
	God gives all moral laws.
	God is behind all morality.
	I believe that.
	But that doesn't mean that every moral demand is of equal significance.
	And there being not of equal doesn't mean you could just cavalierly violate the less significant.
	You can't take pens from the office.
	It's stealing.
	That violates do not steal.
	But as I said, it's not comparable to child molestation.
	So this is where God has given us common sense as a gift.
	We should use it.

	Alright, Ultimate Issues Hour.
	Third hour on Tuesdays.
	And the issue is gradations of sin.
	By the way, there are gradations of everything.
	There are gradations of good.
	And I gave you examples from right and left where people differ with me.
	When I compared in my article today, My column today, American slavery of blacks with Arab slavery of blacks, and noted that most blacks under American slavery were allowed to form families, and most blacks under the males were castrated so that they couldn't form families.
	So a guy writes in, others do, ah, what is this now, a defense of American evil?
	So, big deal.
	But of course, it's not a defense of American evil.
	It's merely a statement that there was something worse elsewhere, so that just people be aware.
	Okay, everybody.
	And let's go to your calls.
	Joseph in Monticello, New York.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thank you for having me on.
	It's been a little while, but I did call before.
	Thank you.
	My theory on the reason why people reject the idea of predation of evil is that they're essentially fundamentalists, whether they're fundamentalists on the right or fundamentalists on the left.
	You know, I'm Jewish.
	I work as a rabbi, and I have a lot of respect for...
	Fundamental Protestant Christians.
	I love them very much, and I appreciate, you know, what they contribute to America, but the fact of the matter is that their theology that's based in this solo scriptura ideology that kind of fails to see the nuances in the original tongues would lead them to believe when they'll read something in their own tradition, which instantly Catholics will read the same text where they have an idea of venial sin versus mortal sin, and we Jews have ideas.
	You know, something that the capital sin versus a corporal sin versus a financial institution sin.
	But a Protestant might read when Jesus says, you know, someone who looks on a woman with lust is as if they committed adultery in the heart, which you'll find similar ideas in the Talmud, but no one would say that, you know, a Jew would never say that you're therefore liable to the death penalty, you know, if you have all the...
	The very rare and almost impossible things that would, you know, allow the death penalty to be in the Jewish tradition, no one would say that one would be liable to the death penalty for embarrassing someone or for, even though it's compared to murder in the Talmud,
	or in this case, which is similar, that, you know, looking on someone with lust, although it's considered sinful, and it is even biblically sinful not to go after your eyes, but no one would say that it's as bad as actually Going and committing the sin.
	So I think it comes from a fundamentalist idea rather than a nuanced idea in life in general, whether one is on the right or the left.
	Very interesting.
	Alright, I really appreciate that.
	I listen very carefully.
	Obviously Protestants, even the most fundamentalists, would not be for capital punishment.
	I know the rabbi wasn't saying that.
	I just want to make it clear.
	Because adultery is a capital offense in the Torah.
	And if Jesus is saying that if you look upon a woman with lust, it's as if you've committed adultery in your heart, then would he believe that if you had such thoughts, you should be executed?
	A, if he did, it would mean the end of the male species of the human race.
	There's no male who does not have lust at some point, gay or straight, but we're talking here about the great majority who are straight.
	And anyway, he qualified it.
	You know, Christians often don't realize that he qualified it.
	It means you committed it with your heart.
	That in and of itself, I think, reduces the sin.
	What you commit with your heart and what you commit in actual action, that to me is an example of gradation of sin.
	I'd much rather be killed by somebody's heart than killed by somebody's gun.
	And of course, Jesus, back to the execution issue, Jesus stopped the execution of a woman accused of adultery.
	Obviously, that's not the issue.
	The issue is the gradations.
	And I think that when Jesus said that if you look upon another woman with lust, it is as if you've committed adultery in your heart, he was...
	Saying it's with your heart.
	He was making it clear.
	He could have easily said it's as if you committed adultery.
	But that would have been a very problematic verse because, as I said, if you apply to anything else, it doesn't work.
	I'd rather people steal from me in their heart than in a hold-up, in a mugging, or anything else.
	All right.
	So that's one of the many reasons it's a very important subject.
	Okay.
	Mary in Columbus City, whose name will be changed.
	Yes, hello.
	I'm calling with the Roman Catholic viewpoint.
	The teaching of the church is that there are definitely differences in sin.
	Like the previous caller said, there's the venial sin, which is the lesser sin, and the mortal sin.
	And the New Testament teaches there's a sin that leads to death, meaning eternal death, and there's a sin that does not lead to death, meaning stealing pens.
	So if you steal a pen, that's bad, but it's not going to send you to hell.
	If you commit the greater sins, which are obvious, you actually have to, in order to qualify, so to speak, As being a capitalist sinner, as you would say.
	You have to decide you are going to separate yourself from God's will.
	You have to know that you're doing it and then do it.
	Excellent.
	Excellent.
	You don't know how much I enjoy hearing from people of various faiths.
	Back in a moment.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Will you oppose as long as you are a Secretary of State and long into the future normalizing the Iranian regime?
	Of course.
	The right time to normalize with Iran is when the regime complies with the basic set of rules and behaviors that we expect of every nation today.
	They continue to...
	Build up their missile program to extend their capacity to wreak terror across the world.
	They continue to behave in ways that are inconsistent with the commitments even that they made under the JCPOA itself.
	As crazy as that was, this is a theocracy, a kleptocracy.
	They have destroyed so much wealth and basic prosperity for the Iranian people themselves that we have supported for four years now.
	This is a crazy idea to think that you're going to get back into a deal that permitted A clean pathway for the Iranians to have a nuclear weapon by which they could terrorize the entire world.
	So many people who have spent four years demonizing President Trump, and a lot of that demonizing you, will not say a bad word against the Iranian regime.
	Now I know you think about international relations a lot.
	What is that?
	Why can they not come to grips?
	Have you thought about what it is in the American psyche on the left that will not let them denounce a cruel, barbaric regime?
	One might add anti-Semitic and one that continues to put at risk the basic understandings that we've built out over four years throughout the Middle East.
	No, I can't comprehend it.
	I couldn't comprehend it when the Obama-Biden administration before went for the JCPOA and ran the linchpin of their foreign policy in the Middle East.
	But going back to it, just be crazy.

	day.
	Gradations of sin, gradations of evil is the subject.
	What brought it to mind was a reaction, maybe more, to my column today on how we should teach race, racism, and slavery in schools.
	And I noted that we have to teach about all of slavery, because it's obvious the purpose is to have children have contempt for America.
	It's not a desire to tell the truth about slavery, because slavery, you need context for everything in history.
	Every culture on earth, every society had slavery.
	And within the context of that, there were far more slaves.
	And far worse treated because of the sexual slavery, which was the primary purpose of Arab slavery, two to one ratio women to men.
	The men were castrated, so they put and produce families, which doesn't exonerate the evil of slavery in any way.
	It doesn't diminish it, but it puts it in context.
	So I wrote, you know, Basically, what are they?
	Gradations of slavery?
	Yes, there are.
	There are gradations of everything.
	There's a difference between a concentration camp and a death camp.
	There are gradations.
	And likewise in religion.
	Okay, which is where I first had the arguments.
	Columbus.
	Back to Columbus.
	And this is Brian.
	Hello, Brian.
	Hey, how are you doing today, sir?
	Okay, thank you.
	Good, good.
	You know, I want to say I really agree with you that molestation is a lot worse than stealing a pen from your employer, right?
	In my mind.
	And when I started thinking about it, I was thinking, what if I can't really get into God's head, right?
	I don't know how he judges.
	What if it is like a light switch?
	Power's on or power's off?
	No care why the power's off.
	It's just off.
	So I was wondering your thoughts on that.
	So you mean sin just turns the light off?
	Yeah, sin would be there's no power.
	Light's off.
	Right.
	Then, given that there is no human who hasn't sinned, the lights are off.
	For everybody, including, you know, the most beautiful people alive, just as much as the Nazi guard in Auschwitz.
	Right, and that's why I have some issue with...
	Right, but...
	Yes, you should have some issue.
	Because God sees the difference.
	Between, you know, Moses is called, this has come to mind because I'm just finishing another book of my Bible commentary and it's Deuteronomy.
	Moses is called the servant of God.
	There's no other person in the five books of Moses is called the servant of God.
	He's a very special human being.
	Noah was special.
	He was righteous in his generations.
	So obviously, if God didn't see gradations of sin, why would he have saved Noah?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Good man.
	Always gives me the chills when somebody challenges me, hears an answer.
	It's always a credit to them.
	That's my view.
	Because that means they called with a desire for truth.
	But it's an example I've never used before in Noah.
	If all sin is the same, then why would God save Noah?
	He's the moral equivalent of everybody else.
	But he's not.
	And he certainly was a sinner as we realize as soon as he got out of the ark.
	That's the way it is.
	All right.
	Aaron in San Pedro.
	Hello.
	How you doing, Dennis?
	You're the man.

	You're a good man.
	If you're a Democrat, I just want to say, if you're a Democrat and listen to me every day, it's to your credit.
	Oh, but I listen to the answer every day, though.
	Good, good.
	So I want to defend.
	First, let me get on to why God chose Noah.
	That's like asking, why did he choose Paul?
	Paul killed Christians, but yet he still wrote 13 or 18 books in the New Testament.
	Well, he was a penitent.
	He didn't choose him, you know, without penitence.
	Well, God chooses who he wants to choose.
	That's why he chose Noah.
	He could have chose anybody.
	No, but it says why.
	It says he walked with God.
	He was righteous in his generations.
	It tells us why.
	I'm keeping you on.

	Biden is the president elect.

	But even more than that, when you have this much of intentional Malfeasance.
	And you have this much intentional criminal activity.
	This is really a disenfranchisement of the entire nation.
	And so this isn't just about those specific votes that were manipulated.
	This is about leaving open this electronic activity for this type of fraud on purpose.
	And I posted a link on my Twitter page.
	And I encourage everybody, you know, follow me, follow Team Trump.
	Of course, follow the president on...
	Twitter but I posted a link to a report just from last year in 2019 from the state of Texas who refused to certify Dominion voting systems because they found that it was too open to this kind of user abuse and it had portals that were open for USB for other online activity that it was too open to fraud and so on the Texas Secretary of State website,
	there's this four-page document where an Assistant Attorney General in Texas says, I recommend that we don't use this because it's too open to manipulation and fraud.
	Okay, so Texas said, this is fishy, we don't want to use these machines, but these machines were used in how many states?

	Prager here, Ultimate Issues, our third hour every Tuesday.
	The subject is gradations of evil, gradations of sin, that there are such things.
	And my latest example, and I'm going to return to Aaron, who disagrees, and to whom I am grateful for calling.
	The example, one example, is Noah.
	God obviously considers gradations of sins because God...
	Pick Noah to save Noah.
	I don't care whether you take the story literally or not.
	The point is the lesson.
	And the lesson is, God recognizes better and worse people, just like their greater and worse sins.
	And we know why he picked him.
	He said it twice.
	Because he was a righteous man in his generation, or generations, the original Hebrew, and because he walked with God.
	So, Aaron, that's a challenge to you, my friend.
	Okay, so I just wanted to say, in the Bible, where does it talk about one sin being greater than the other?
	Well, the Bible doesn't have to.
	For example, it lists various things.
	Some are called abominations, others are not.
	Some have a capital offense.
	You're executed for it.
	Others are not.
	So it's obvious.
	The American legal code doesn't say better or worse either.
	It's built in.
	Right.
	So when you say some things are executed for and all that, that's man that does the executing.
	But it's God who demands it.
	I mean, that's the point.
	When I read the Bible, it says that God hates sin.
	Period.
	Right?
	And so, it also tells us that every day we have to die to ourselves because we do sin every day.
	That's why we're always in a state of repentance.
	Right?
	So that's just my opinion.
	You're right.
	All of that is true, but it doesn't negate anything I'm saying.
	There are some sins that God says, God says when He creates the world, If you take a human life, by man should that life be taken because the human being is created in the image of God.
	That's God speaking.
	God does not say if you steal, you should have your life taken.
	Only if you murder.
	Okay, and so the last thing is, the whole point of my call was not to push my issue on anybody, but it's just to have a dialogue and learn.
	Amen.
	All right, good.
	I'm letting you go only because I want to take more.
	And thank you.
	That's fine with me.
	A dialogue and learn, I'm with you.
	Anyway, as you all know, my motto is, I prefer clarity over agreement.
	So it doesn't matter if I agree with you.
	It matters that we're clear about where we differ.
	All right.
	Red has a good name.
	Red in Shreveport, Louisiana.
	Yes.
	Hello, Dennis.
	How are you today?
	Were you given the name Red by your parents?
	I was, and would you believe it?
	My sister's name is Violet.
	That's funny.
	That is legitimately funny.
	It is a bit funny, yeah.
	You realize, your parents, if they had a lot of kids, they could have had the rainbow.
	They could have.
	I thought they'd stop at you, though.
	That's right.
	Here's yellow.
	Here's blue.
	I don't got a brother yellow or nothing.
	That's true.
	All right, Red, take it away.
	Alright, well, as I was telling your phone screener, you know, like there is simple things like you shouldn't steal a pen, you shouldn't rape, but clearly stealing a pen is not as bad as raping.
	And that's, you know, that's not so complicated, but, you know, also what's clear and apparent is that your adult doctor is e-fool.
	You're what?
	Say that again?
	Your adult doctor is eFool.
	I can see it on the live YouTube.
	It's fool.
	All right.
	Very good.
	Let's go to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and James.
	Hi, James.
	Hey, Dennis.
	I agree totally with the idea that there are predations of evil.
	I mean, there's small stuff that everyone does, and then there's a lot of evil.
	I'm not letting you change your diaper until the end of the show.
	Okay.
	There we go.
	This is the mature crowd calling in, and we go to Ritzville, Washington, and Dave.
	Hello, Dave.
	Hello.
	The commandment is that thou shalt not bear false witness.
	Right.
	However, in the case of preserving the...
	Preserving life or taking care of your family, that is more important and is okay, as we see in the lesson of the dreidel, to deceive the governing authorities for the sake of preserving life in your family.
	What does that have to do with the dreidel?
	Yeah, well the dreidel was the game, you know, the dreidel was the game created to deceive the Greeks.
	When they came in to arrest people for learning Hebrew.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	There you go.
	I did not know that.
	Nice.
	Yes, anyway, look, these are very tough moral calls.
	I mentioned in the beginning of the show, it's worth mentioning again in light of this call, that I would like to have you ask Any Democrat in your family, do you believe that Donald Trump is a fascist, neo-Nazi, white supremacist dictator?
	Or any three of the four?
	And if they say yes, then ask, so why is it immoral to cheat if you are counting votes?
	It's not immoral.
	If you believe you're preventing a neo-Nazi fascist dictator from being elected, it's moral to cheat.
	So you can't have it both ways.
	Gee, we wouldn't cheat.
	So don't even think of it.
	We just wouldn't.
	But why wouldn't you if you believe that Donald Trump is all those things?
	That's why moral clarity is perhaps the greatest thing that people could aspire to.
	There's precious little of it at our time.
	Back in a moment.

	Republicans should be on to Georgia.
	Bill Belichick, coach of the New England Patriots, had a line from his most famous news conference ever.
	After a 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2014, Belichick answered question after question with, we're on to Cincinnati.
	After Joe Biden's victory was declared by media organizations on Saturday, the mantra of Republicans for the next two months should be, we are on to Georgia.
	Because on January 5, Georgians will decide two United States Senate seats and run off election.
	The course of the nation over the next two years is in the balance.
	If Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler win, Americans will have divided government and compromise.
	If left-wing, indeed radical, Democratic challengers John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock win, the nation will see Supreme Court packing cuts in the military's spending and socialized medicine.
	If Trump wants a comeback in 2024, it starts in the Peach State on January 5.
	We are on to Georgia.

	Where are we?
	What direction are we in?
	Are we headed towards?
	If I told you that one of these two Democrat candidates For Senate has called police gangsters and thugs.
	Would you believe it?
	Of the two of them, which one do you think it would be?
	Raphael Warnock or John Ossoff?
	You'd probably think Ossoff, surely a guy with reverend in front of his name, wouldn't call police gangsters and thugs.
	But actually, you would be incorrect.
	It's the...
	It's the Reverend who has called police officers in America gangsters and thugs.
	Now, we got a lot of drama and emotion and raw intensity over what it means to be a police officer in 2020. The George Floyd death hurt.
	It hurt the country.
	It tore the country apart.
	People took to the streets.
	People rioted and looted while the media gave rioters and looters cover by calling those peaceful protests.
	But many, many, many more people did peacefully protest the death of a man who we witnessed in a nine-minute video under the knee of a police officer.
	But of course...
	But of course, the left's version of policing is to reimagine it all.
	We can have social workers.

	Sin, the nations of evil is the topic of this Ultimate Issues Hour every Tuesday, 3rd hour.
	It applies in the secular realm and in the religious realm.
	That's the way it is.
	It's a very important one.
	Dan in La Mirada, California, cites John 19.11.
	Jesus speaks of the greater sin, those who gave him to the authorities.
	And that's right.
	How could there be a greater sin if there isn't greater and lesser?
	Good one, Dan.
	You know your Bible.
	Bless you.
	Let's see here.
	Janine in Garden Grove, California.
	Gradation of sins is useful when judging character.
	Even when voting, we must compare sins.
	That's exactly, that's a great example.
	That's exactly right.
	That's what we're doing all the time.
	It's excellent, excellent.
	That's how we judge character.
	Otherwise, is everybody equally awful?
	That's right.
	Jerry Seattle is a Christian, believes everyone who sins is guilty before God, but this does not mean all sins are equal.
	I think that's a perfectly good way of doing it.
	And there are also degrees of guilt, I would imagine, if there are degrees of sin.
	Let's see here.
	Stephen in Sacramento believes that Jesus clearly differentiated between sins and levels of punishment.
	Okay.
	Adam, however, in Dayton, Ohio, sin can be called separation from God, which explains the absolute concept of sin.
	So, let's see.
	What's our time frame here in a minute?
	We got a minute there?
	Okay, speak fast, Adam.
	Go ahead.
	Well, first of all, thank you, Dennis.
	I'm a long-time listener, but first-time caller, so I really love PragerU.
	So the separation from God is a definition that I've heard and has always kind of stuck in my mind, the idea being that once you begin sinning, you are separated from God in whatever you're doing.
	And so it's one of those things where you're either separated or you're not.
	But at the same time, I would also agree with you that stealing a box of Tic Tacs in the checkout lane is not nearly as bad as murdering someone.
	So I like to look at things from multiple angles.
	Right, and that's fair.
	I would only say on the alienation from God or separation, even there I would say...
	There are those who were separated by, you know, 100 yards and those separated by 100 miles.
	All right, everybody.
	Bless you, my friends.
