	Washington Post, in its history, has never endorsed a Republican president.
	The New York Times has not endorsed one since 1956. Tim Groves closed.
	The country's a third Republican, a third Democrat, and a third independent if the media reflected that diversity.
	He estimates that the average state would vote anywhere from 8 to 10 points in favor of the Republican candidate.
	Democrats would never win at the presidential level if the media were truly fair and balanced.
	We've been talking about some of the stories that were ignored or suppressed by the media, including but not limited to the allegation made by Tara Reid, the former staffer of Joe Biden, who claims that she was sexually assaulted by Biden.
	Turns out 35.4% of voters were unaware of the allegation.
	And nearly 9% said that they would have voted for Trump or a third party candidate or not voted at all for president had they known about the allegation.
	That is enough, according to newsbusters, to flip Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to Trump.
	The Hunter Biden scandal, 45% of voters unaware.
	9.4% say they would have switched their vote.
	That Kamala Harris has a more left-wing record than Bernie Sanders, the self-described Democrat socialist.
	25.3% of Biden voters were unaware of this.
	4.1% say...
	they would have changed their vote again enough possibly to flip Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to Trump according to the newsbusters.

	Talk to us about this unique pardon, which the president called a pardon of innocence.
	As soon as I heard it last week, Thanksgiving week, I tweeted out, it should never have happened.
	It shouldn't happen like this, but I'm glad it happened.
	Talk to us about the last few days in your life, General Flynn.
	Well, I'll tell your audience that it really hasn't sunk in yet because it's such a surreal phenomenon.
	Process that my entire family has gone through, and that includes my extended family, because as you know, Seth, I have a large number of brothers and sisters.
	I have nine.
	My wife's one of seven.
	So we have an extended and large family that it has affected and impacted all of us.
	So it really hasn't sunk in yet for me personally.
	I will tell you that I really do appreciate the type.
	of words that the president used and certainly the White House statement that they came out with used in the language to describe what happened.
	Very, very powerful.
	It should not have ever happened to me.
	It should never happen to any American citizen who decides to step into the political environment and challenge those that would otherwise want to change our way of life.
	Mine was really not an issue that was revolved around a criminal act.
	It revolved around, really, political persecution.
	And that was clear from the beginning.
	It was clear to me.
	It'll be a story that I will tell soon and someday.
	And it's an amazing story.

	As important as any single event in this whole train of facts is the January 5th meeting in the Oval Office.
	Where Obama and Biden meet with James.
	Thank you.
	Listen on radio.com.
	Thank you.
	All right, so a little ZZ Top and sharp-dressed man.
	Is anybody really that sharp-dressed?
	Oh, that's right.
	Oh, my gosh.
	Oh, boy.
	ZZ Top.
	ZZ Top yellow flag.
	Give me all your love and all your hugs and kisses, too.
	And your calls.
	Every girl is crazy about a sharp-dressed man.
	Does that even exist anymore?
	You're in the COVID era.
	Is anybody dressing up for anything?
	I'm in the radio.
	We don't have to dress up normally.
	I put on a special sweatshirt for you guys today here on the video at townhalltv.com, townhalltv.com.
	I will suggest something to you.
	Call this old guy syndrome, but my ZZ Top Library.
	I love Eliminator and the big beards and the fuzzy guitars and all that stuff, but Sharp Dressed Man and They all kind of sound alike.
	Give me Rio Grande mud and Tres Hombres and Jesus just left Chicago and just got paid and Francine and Tush.
	I mean, those were ZZ Top Records to me, but then I'm an old guy.
	All right, this old guy is The Morning Show at 6.60 a.m., The Answer here in Dallas-Fort Worth.
	And filling in for Dennis is one of my great joys.
	Appreciate it a lot.
	You can follow me on Twitter, at Mark Davis.
	And I don't know if he is a follower.
	But I've snagged the attention of Lin Wood.
	Woo-hoo, that's a party.
	And let me tell you, listen, if he wanted to engage, and I love all people, especially people who are fighting for the president, there is nobility and honor in trying to do something about this sour, frustrating, fraudulent election result.
	If you're just joining us, I spent some of the first hour describing the only thing that I think holds promise at the moment, and that is competing slates of electors coming from some of the states that are in question.
	They duke it out, and perhaps Congress, which is a Democrat House but a Republican Senate, would say, listen, we can't accept just nothing we can do in Pennsylvania, nothing we can do in Michigan, nothing we can do in Arizona or Wisconsin, which would keep Joe Biden from his 270 total.
	And it would then go to the House, and Trump would win in the House.
	Now, that's a lot of flowcharts stuck together.
	That's a lot of ifs.
	But at present, the courtroom strategies have not yielded anything.
	Now, might they in the future?
	Maybe.
	And I wish them well.
	I mean, our lovely gentleman last hour, you want to quit.
	I don't want to quit anything.
	If some, you know, if the clouds part, You know, and the white pegasus horse rides in with some solution from the judiciary, Supreme Court, or anybody below it that flips some states for Trump, I will lead the street dance.
	Don't see that coming right now.
	If that changes, hooray for everybody.
	I've laid out a strategy that I think can work.
	So what this means is that everybody that's been fighting judicially, from Rudy Giuliani, who I've loved for a long time, to Jenna Ellis, who I've loved for a year or so, as long as I've known her, to Sidney Powell, who I've admired for years for her work for General Flynn, she's been throwing out a whole lot of promises that have not come to fruition.
	But I'm not going to beat her up for that.
	As I said in the last hour, I've tried a lot of things that didn't work out.
	Hey, I tried.
	There's honor in trying.
	And I would even say the same about Mr. Wood.
	But when Mr. Wood and Ms. Powell seek to screw up Georgia out of some fit of pique or some tantrum that they seek to go on, then that's going to be a problem.
	And I'm going to have to call that out.
	And I don't even mean personally.
	So here's how the Twitter adventure happened that gets us to where we are right now.
	And then write to your calls at 1-8-Prager-776.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	And follow me on Twitter at Mark Davis and see the wonderful skirmish I may be about to have with Lin Wood.
	Dude, I got nothing against you.
	Knock yourself out.
	I love your pro-Trump passion, and if you can bring something about in the courtroom, I will be the first to sing your praises for that.
	But if you're off on some narcissistic tear that, because Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue did not join you at the lectern for the news conferences, so as a result, we need to have a Democrat Senate, That's stupid.
	That's ruinous to conservatism.
	Sidney Powell's point, which I've suggested is a little bit more principled, but nonetheless unhelpful, is that fraud is baked in.
	There's nothing we can do.
	Georgia is unwinnable.
	I think her quote was, you should not vote in an election that is this dishonest.
	Oh, really?
	So let's guarantee a Democrat win.
	Hey, genius!
	No.
	This runoff will happen on the 5th of January.
	We will either have Democrats win or Republicans win in both races.
	If we do nothing, if we get all slump-shouldered, and you want to talk about giving up, that's giving up.
	And that's insane.
	It's Georgia.
	Fight for Georgia values.
	Fight for the things that the people of Georgia have been relied upon for a long, long time.
	And I know Georgia's like Texas.
	They have Democrats.
	They just don't let them run the place.
	So if there's a Stacey Abrams political machine ready to pile up all kinds of fraudulent votes, let's have five times as many honest votes wipe out that fraud.
	Let's play hard enough, vote hard enough, show up hard enough and reliably enough to win by seven points.
	So that we can win by four.
	That's what you do.
	So, and without taking anybody to task specifically, because I don't know how many other people are going to join this fool's errand.
	I said this morning at about 7 o'clock in the morning, just before starting my own program, I said I'll be brief.
	Anyone impeding the effort To keep those two Georgia seats Republican is a traitor to conservatism.
	Yep.
	Anyone impeding the effort to keep those two Georgia seats Republican is a traitor to conservatism.
	You know, the words Lin Wood don't appear in my tweet.
	But, uh, I don't know.
	He found me!
	And replied as follows, just three hours ago.
	So I said, I'll be brief.
	He replies, I'll be brief!
	At Mark Davis, he writes, I'll be brief.
	Any person who supports a fraudulent election is a traitor to the principles established by our founding fathers.
	What?
	Let me see if it's any more coherent second time around.
	I'll be brief, Mark Davis.
	Any person who supports a fraudulent election is a traitor to the principles established by our founding fathers.
	No better the second time.
	What does this man mean?
	So, let me share with you in what, as far as I'm concerned, ends it.
	Because my interest in going around a tree with Lin Wood is precisely zero.
	I reply, this is just sad.
	The suggestion that failure to join you in your undermining of Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue constitutes supporting a fraudulent election is just absurd.
	Fighting for a clean 2020 result is honorable.
	Tantrums that could give us a Democrat Senate are not.
	So, I don't know.
	I try real hard to understand people.
	I mean, try to understand people I disagree with.
	It's a big Dennis Prager philosophy.
	Don't avoid contrarian views.
	Understand them.
	Consume them so you can better know how to argue against them.
	Read the occasional liberal column.
	Consume the occasional leftist commentary.
	Watch a couple of minutes of MSNBC. Okay, maybe that's a bridge too far.
	We watch it so you don't have to.
	Anyway, my point being, you conduct your life however you like, but I do this for a living, obviously, so if I'm going to argue against things and people and postures and viewpoints, I need to understand what they are.
	So in this particular case, I can only divine that maybe Mr. Wood thinks that showing up to vote for Kelly Loeffler And David Perdue is supporting a fraudulent election.
	It's like you're willing to walk into a business that is tainted.
	They have not somehow magically been able to clean up the landscape for January 5th, so conservatives are supposed to boycott the election.
	Oh, that'll work out great!
	Because then we'll have Senator Raphael Warnock, Senator John Ossoff, which if we then also have President Joe Biden, Yeah, what favor have you done for conservatism then, Mr. Wood?
	I wish you well.
	I really do.
	None of this is personal.
	None of it.
	Here's something personal.
	Your calls.
	Can't wait to hear them.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	next say again I'm sorry trending now on the Eric Metaxas show
	How can you not take this seriously and understand that if Biden were inaugurated under this cloud right now, with 70 million plus people believing he's a real fraud, not just they don't like him, they didn't vote for him, but that he's a fraud, that you wouldn't speak up.
	This is, again, I'm just mystified.
	I don't get this.
	Well, and part of it is that People believe the kind of hypnosis from the main propaganda channels where they say, well, there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
	First of all, there you have an objective and a subjective statement.
	So this is a very important point that we need to...
	You've heard this many times, right?
	It's almost an incantation that they say on television every day.
	There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
	They say it almost as a prayer ritual on CNN. They have to every day.
	And so what you have there is that no, meaning there's none, zero, that's an objective, and then widespread.
	That's a really important thing, though.
	How do you define widespread?
	This is really important.
	For example, 1% wouldn't be widespread.
	That's not widespread.
	1% is the margin in many of these states.
	So all of a sudden, if we just have 1% voter fraud, Eric, 1% Donald Trump is president.
	And based on all the evidence we have, we have way more evidence to show there's even more than 1%.
	But even that narrative, in other words, to talk about that, isn't the real issue, Charlie, that we're talking about conspiracy?
	There were people, leaders, powerful people, who made a decision before the election that this is what we're going to do.
	That's really what we need to go after, isn't it?
	And that who were the people conspiring to overturn the will of the American people?

	At the outcome, not because they believe that Trump legitimately lost.
	John Daniel Davidson wrote an article about this at The Federalist, talking about the surge of columns and posts, asserting that Republicans and Trump supporters are completely bonkers, have lost touch with reality.
	After four years, he says, of marinating in falsehoods and disinformation, a term that really just means information I don't like, Trump's backers are all turned around, they tell us.
	They believe much that isn't so.

	A little cry to me on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Come cry to me at 1-8-Prager-776 or laugh at me.
	I don't care.
	Anything in between.
	Whatever emotions you bring are welcome here.
	Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	Appreciate it.
	Let's dive into a bunch of your calls.
	Got a lot going on election-wise, a lot going on COVID-wise, a lot going on lockdown-wise.
	Just how do you think this is all going to go?
	We're in the last month of this stinking year.
	And I really hold out hope that 2021 is obviously going to be the year that we climb, well, nothing's obvious, but is hopefully going to be the year where we climb out of this quicksand of COVID. But it's going to take some things.
	It's going to take the vaccine being successful.
	It's going to take an actual downturn in the curve of cases and deaths.
	And deaths already remain, I think deaths are still trailing off, but the cases are spiking and that freaks everybody out.
	And I I don't want anybody to get it.
	And so, yeah, do all the distancing and the masks and all the stuff that people say is smart.
	But masks good, masks mandate bad.
	Consume the following in a succinct paragraph.
	There's a long list of things that are smart to do, but that doesn't mean that government should make you do them.
	There's a long list of things that are bad and wrong to do, but that doesn't mean that government should forbid them.
	Kind of a libertarian streak there, and there's some exceptions to those, but I think broadly stated, that's why PSAs and guidance and suggestions from government are fine.
	Mask mandates and shutdowns and lockdowns?
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	So, we'll see what happens as we move into 2021. Listen, this whole, speaking of COVID, it's made financial markets unpredictable?
	And that has not been a smooth ride for mortgage rates.
	Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage are there to help you manage market volatility, help you get into a better financial situation.
	A lot of major banks and lenders are pushing back on purchase loans and suspending a lot of refis, but not Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

	Okay, let us roll to Auburn, Georgia.
	Lee, hey, Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Happy Thursday.
	How are you?
	I'm good, Mark.
	Hey, listen, don't use the word Senator in front of those two guys' names until we absolutely have no choice.
	Senator, in front of Leffler?
	Oh, well, they are actually both incumbents, so they are properly...
	The other two want to become senators.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I got you.
	No, you know, in that case, that's exactly what I wanted to do.
	If the use of the terms Senator Warnock and Senator Ossoff inspires fear, that is my exact goal to the people of Georgia, because those would be disastrous things to have happen.
	So let's have it not happen.
	Yes, exactly.
	So I think the key to a Georgia win is in-person voting.
	The Secretary of State has proven with one hand recount and one machine recount that we do not have a fraudulent system here.
	So we've got to have 400,000 more votes than the next morning when Stacey Abrams walks in with a hundred thousand votes.
	Exactly!
	That's what I mean by playing on the road with crooked refs.
	Yes, sir.
	Play hard enough to win by ten so that you can win by six.
	1-8 Prager 7-7-6 and we are in Chicago.
	John, hey, Mark Davis, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	How are you?
	Hello, sir.
	It's a pleasure to talk to you again.
	Hi.
	I disagree with you about everything.
	That's okay.
	Glad to have you here.
	You know that every election commissioner in every state, every secretary of state in every state, every governor in every state, they all are contradicting the president's claims about massive vote fraud.
	You know that...
	Not really.
	There are people who are saying, even the Attorney General among them, that it doesn't look like we can identify, numerically, enough fraudulent votes that would turn a state from a Biden victory to a Trump victory.
	Okay, that's a numerical sort of legal standard and accounting standard.
	The standard that I think holds promise now is that there is so much, admittedly, unidentifiable shenanigans, all of these testimonies from all these whistleblowers, all these craziness and scrutiny that was denied and mysterious votes appearing and disappearing, that it can foment doubt.
	That electors might say, this was not clean, this was not fair, this was not right, and maybe they will withhold electoral votes on December 14th.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Well, they're pointing to a numeric reality that contradicts what the president is claiming.
	And we also have Mr. Krebs, Chris Krebs, Trump's chosen head of cybersecurity, overseeing the election security.
	He dares to say...
	That it was the most secure election in our history.
	He immediately gets fired.
	That's insane.
	You know, it's kind of funny.
	If someone says, you know, all other things being equal, I don't think there was enough fraud that the Biden win was phony.
	Okay, you can do that.
	For somebody to step up, as Mr. Krebs has done, and say this was the most secure election in history, that is de facto nonsense.
	That is just stupidity on steroids.
	How in the world, with this much crazy early voting and all these jacked-up COVID changes at the last minute, how can anyone say that that bolstered election security?
	I thought you said you were going to let me make my point.
	I believe you have, and then I've made one in return.
	Isn't this cool how it works?
	Actually, I hadn't gotten to the end of what I was going to ask.
	No, knock yourself out.
	Go ahead.
	Sure, go for it.
	Good idea to get to it.
	Of course, Mr. Krebs, respectfully, sir, I don't think you know better than the head of But maybe that head of security, maybe that head of security has...
	No, dude, I'm sorry, you're not going to just say...
	It's not speeches.
	We're having a conversation.
	You're the guy who said you wanted to have one.
	I mean, do I know more about epidemiology than Anthony Fauci?
	No, but I knew that it was safe for my kid to go to school, didn't I? Continue.
	That's not a good look for Joe DeGeneva.
	and i like a lot told you like a guy who called for somebody to be shot in the street uh...
	and the question here's my question okay in the last election you accepted the assessment of all those election commissioners and secretaries Right.
	Well, not exactly because...
	Your premise is flawed, and we've probably got some time here.
	It is because it seems that the fraud might have yielded an improper result.
	I mean, there was fraud in 2016, there was fraud in...
	There's always fraud.
	This may be the first time that it gave us a faulty winner.
	Go ahead, what's your ultimate question?
	It only seems that way if you don't accept what all those people are telling you is reality.
	No, I've explained that to you.
	Go ahead.
	If you or the president or any other people who serve as a conduit to base, if you people keep saying...
	There was massive fraud.
	When do you know there wasn't?
	I don't say there was massive fraud.
	You don't need to have massive fraud or pervasive fraud.
	All you need is just a little bit.
	A little bit of fraud goes a long way.
	You have just enough fraud in just a couple of states, and it's the kind of thing that can give you a flawed result.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Good job, sir.
	up sir we did it trending now on America first with Sebastian talk to us about this unique pardon which the president called a pardon of innocence
	As soon as I heard it last week, Thanksgiving week, I tweeted out, it should never have happened.
	It shouldn't happen like this, but I'm glad it happened.
	Talk to us about the last few days in your life, General Flynn.
	Well, I'll tell your audience that it really hasn't sunk in yet because it's such a surreal process that my entire family has gone through.
	And that includes my extended family because, as you know, Seth, I have a large number of brothers and sisters.
	I have nine.
	My wife's one of seven.
	So we have an extended and large family that it has affected and impacted all of us.
	So it really hasn't sunk in yet for me personally.
	I will tell you that.
	I really do appreciate the type of words that the President used and certainly the White House statement that they came out with used in the language to describe what happened.

	As important as any single event in this whole train of facts is the January 5th meeting in the Oval Office.
	Where Obama and Biden meet with James Comey, Sally Yates, then the deputy AG and Susan Rice.
	Who was the national security advisor at the time.
	And I think they not only discussed the Flynn prosecution.
	but they talk about what was the main driving force here, which is how do we continue this investigation of Trump once Trump is in power?
	And they explicitly discuss Withholding from the incoming Trump administration information about Russia.
	And I frankly think that both the removal of Flynn and the removal of Sessions are explained by the fact that the only way you could pull off what they wanted to do, which was continue the investigation after the Trump administration was in power, was to remove people who would have been in the best position To thwart it, which would have been Flynn as National Security Counsel and Sessions as Attorney General.
	So I think that was actually a very important piece of information because it showed people that something I think I've been saying all along, which is that there are a lot of things that are in the nature of abusive power that are not necessarily criminal offenses.
	And that information from the attorney general showed that they were not looking at least at that transaction as a crime.
	Nothing like Dennis promoting PragerU over top of Montel Jordan.
	This is how we do it.
	My fault.
	My fault.
	I called for that.
	Couple of reasons.
	Number one, great record.
	Great 25-year-old record.
	Ouch.
	Oh, my gosh.
	Sorry, whippersnappers, making you even feel old.
	But the other one is his Montel Jordan's birthday.
	So, how's about that?
	What is he?
	I guess he's 52. Also, it's Ozzy's birthday.
	I'll let you pursue that on your own time.
	He's 72 and remarkably still alive.
	Sharon!
	Anyway, speaking of Atlanta, where all kinds of subterfuge may be underway, but Atlanta's a great city, and speaking of which, Amontel Jordan, he's like a pastor at a local church there, so good for him.
	That's just awesome.
	Alrighty, speaking of people I admire, and folks doing good things, yesterday was a major, major passing in the world of conservative iconography.
	Maybe your familiarity with Dr. Walter Williams was hearing him fill in on the Rush Limbaugh show, as I was blessed to do from 2008 to 2012. And Walter was probably, I think he was my favorite guy to listen to filling in.
	Decidedly not a radio guy, but just one of the most brilliant people ever born.
	And with wonderful quotes like, I'll give you my definition of social justice.
	I keep what I earn.
	You keep what you earn.
	And if at any point you determine that some of what I earn actually needs to be given to you, tell me how much and why.
	The greatness of Walter Williams, who passed away yesterday at the age of 84. I grew up in the suburbs of D.C., in the Maryland, Prince George's County, Maryland suburbs.
	And I got a chance to go through a few radio stops before coming back here to my native Texas.
	In 1994. But there in D.C. as I was growing up and then I came back, got to do a little radio stand in Washington from 90 to 94 right before coming back here to DFW. I'd become familiar with Dr. Williams in some of the writing and speaking that he was doing at George Mason University, which is in Fairfax in suburban Virginia.
	And he's been a hero ever since.
	And hero is thrown around sometimes kind of haphazardly.
	Not here.
	This is a guy whose clarity and boldness and courage.
	So I'll tell you what, I've got a bunch of calls to get through.
	Let's do that for the rest of this hour.
	And then once we get to the top of the next hour, I might share a couple of things about Dr. Williams, maybe share a column of his.
	And if you want to pop back through my Twitter feed through yesterday, I've got a bunch of my favorite Walter Williams quotes.
	His last column that he wrote...
	And one of my favorite columns that he wrote.
	All there on the Mark Davis Twitter feed.
	Mark Davis, if you want to do that.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate being here for Dennis.
	And, of course, all things Dennis are available at DennisPrager.com.
	All righty.
	We are in Minneapolis.
	Don, pleasure to have you.
	Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	How you doing?
	I'm doing great.
	Thank you, Mark.
	My pleasure.
	So, I think the...
	The single most important thing we can do, apart from winning Georgia, is to expose to the Democrats that their party is being hijacked by people who don't share their values.
	Essentially, I think radical leftists are getting all the benefits of the huge Democratic Party machine, and it's just ridiculous.
	These Democrats are voting for people who...
	They wouldn't normally vote for simply because they have the Democratic Party behind them.
	I think there's wisdom there.
	I think one of the reasons Joe Biden was the nominee and not Bernie Sanders is that all of Democrat America might not be as radical as an AOC. But, you know, they sure do have their...
	They're wings of popularity in Democrat America.
	I mean, Democrat America is not monolithic any more than Republican America is.
	There are moderate Democrats, and there are bug-eyed radicals in the party from occasional districts like AOC and Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and Nancy Pelosi.
	Those are the kinds of representatives you get.
	Presidentially, perhaps somewhat less so.
	Absolutely, and I think I obviously differ with...
	Everything AOC says, but I agree that she has the right to voice those opinions.
	I just am a little concerned that what she's saying is so separate from what most Democrats believe, and she's still running with the same party.
	I know, and that's why the...
	It's an eternal question, especially with Biden having been the nominee, whether he winds up being president or not.
	Is Democrat America, the majority Democrat America, still kind of center-left and maybe kind of Biden-esque, or are they morphing before our eyes into a more radical, monstrous version of themselves?
	I guess the coming years will tell.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Be right back.

	As important as any single event in this whole train of facts is the January 5th meeting in the Oval Office where Obama and Biden meet with James Comey, Sally Yates, then the Deputy AG, and Susan Rice, who was the National Security Advisor at the time.
	They not only discuss the Flynn prosecution, but they talk about what was the main driving force here, which is how do we continue this investigation of Trump once Trump is in power?
	And they explicitly discuss withholding from the incoming Trump administration information about Russia.
	And I frankly think that both the removal of Flynn and the removal of Sessions I think that
	was actually a very important piece of information because it showed people that Something I think I've been saying all along, which is that there are a lot of things that are in the nature of abuse of power that are not necessarily criminal offenses.
	And that information from the attorney general showed that they were not looking at least at that transaction as a crime.

	We're doing a rally tonight.
	We're doing a door knocking blitz tomorrow morning.
	We are activating all of our student activists at Students for Trump and Turning Point Action, our 501c4 political vehicle.
	And the reason that we are here, just the same reason why President Trump tweeted out that he will be here on Saturday is that the Georgia runoff election is not about playing offense.
	You see, President Donald Trump is one of the best offensive political players in American history.
	He was always setting the tone with his agenda.
	Let's get a vote on the wall.
	Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett.
	200 other federal judges, tax cuts, embassy to Jerusalem, renegotiating trade deals, NAFTA, withdrawing us from TPP, getting the UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan to the table for historic peace deal.
	President Trump was always playing offense, which is why President Trump is a successful president.
	And God willing, we'll serve a second term if we can uncover.
	And prove that this election has been contaminated and stolen.
	However, what's going on in Georgia right now for the runoff elections is not an offensive strategy.
	There's no use in convincing you otherwise.
	That wouldn't be true.
	The reason that I am in Georgia and the reason why we are deploying our resources to Georgia for the runoff elections is not to play offense, but instead to play defense.

	He'll be back tomorrow.

	We can make it at 86666...
	Oh, excuse me.

	Almost gave the local phone number.
	I think that's because I had diverted myself for a moment because what I wanted to do is tell you about Angel Tree and make sure that you know everything you need to know about Angel Tree.
	This is just one of...
	The most wonderful things.
	If you take a look at kids, you take a look at what's going on in their lives, and as challenging as it can be to be a kid in a COVID-laced year, and let me have you imagine a kid or two or three or thousands already living in perhaps some inner city or some other situation of underprivilege, and then let's take mom and or dad and let's have them be in prison.
	Man, talk about the writing being on the wall for a bleak prospect.
	But what do we always say?
	Especially as conservatives, what do we say?
	That what your situation is can be dictated by, if you're an adult, the choices you make.
	If you're a child, by other people in your life.
	By mentors, by uncles, by aunts, by clergy.
	There are all kinds of things that can brighten the life of a child.
	Right now, today, you can.
	You can.
	Dennis tells you every day about the Angel Tree campaign.
	And this is your chance to change a life.
	Our friends at Prison Fellowship, they gather together the Angel Tree packages that contain a gift for a child, and a Bible for a child, and a note for that child from the incarcerated parent.
	Do you know what that can mean?
	To be 12 and just saying, really?
	Really, God, is this the hand that you've dealt me?
	Is this my lot in life?
	My dad's in prison.
	You know, I don't know what my prospects are.
	And here comes Christmas, which is tough enough.
	But now with all the virus nonsense, well, guess what you're going to do?
	With your angel tree donation, these children are going to get a package containing a Bible, a note from mom or dad, and an actual gift.
	For $22!
	For $22, you can help a kid in this way.
	At the Dennis Prager website, DennisPrager.com, click the Angel Tree banner.
	$22, you just gave that experience to a child.
	$44, two kids.
	$66, three kids.
	Do your own math.
	My head hurts.
	But you know what?
	My heart hurts thinking about these kids not having this experience.
	So brighten some lives.
	Right now.
	Here's the phone number.
	Ready?
	888-206-2801.
	888-206-2801.
	Or DennisPrager.com and click that Angel Tree banner.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Every $22 that you can offer up to this.
	Some of you got $2,200.
	Do that if you can, please.
	But if it's just the $22, we'll take that too.
	And one child will be so grateful to you.
	The Angel Tree places a package in these kids' lives with a gift and a Bible, the love of Christ, and the love from mom or dad who can't be with them because, well, prison.
	And so, just thank you.
	Thank you enormously for what you do for the Angel Tree campaign.

	All righty, we are in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.
	Candice, hey, Mark Davison for Dennis, how are you doing?
	Thank you so much for taking my call.
	My pleasure.
	Peace, Walter Williams.
	Amen.
	I'm just calling because I just wanted to make a comment.
	First I started out poll watching with my friends, and then that was in DuPage County, Illinois, and then I started poll working because I realized the first time I poll watched it, you have no power whatsoever.
	You know, if you have something to say, you might as well be a poll worker.
	I'm calling, though, to chastise.
	You know, most of the time when you're poll working, there's about one-quarter to one-third of the people there, if any, GOP. Okay?
	And where are all these armchair protesters, you know, on Twitter and Parler and everything?
	Where are they?
	Because we need them.
	I'm usually the youngest person there.
	I'm 49. And these people are like 60, 70, sometimes 80, and it's a very long, arduous day for them.
	It's from 6 a.m., and they can split it at 1, and then a lot of times, you know, you end up staying until 9 or 10 because you have the count.
	So there needs to be a movement within the GOP, and the politicians need to get involved, because now we have seen what happens when the SEIU and the BLM, Public Sector Union, run these elections.
	Okay?
	They're corrupt.
	Okay?
	And it didn't really hurt us until this year, and then we got punched in the face.
	And now we see that there's a lot of Democrats who also got punched in the face who love Trump, too, and are upset.
	Exactly.
	And they knew the corruption was going on for years.
	I know.
	I know.
	So let me ask you something, Candice, because you're in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, south of Milwaukee, right by Racine, correct?
	West Overseen, yeah.
	Right, West Overseen, gotcha.
	But still sort of in the Milwaukee sphere of influence, if I'm kind of right about this.
	And I'm wondering, because here you are, a conservative, a Republican, wanting to do poll work.
	Because a lot of people ask me on my own show, why are all these poll workers Democrats?
	Well, in the areas that are driven by Democrat machine politics...
	You're Philadelphia, you're Atlanta, you're Detroit, you're Milwaukee.
	That's what you're going to get.
	So, you know, will it be an uphill climb trying to get positions doing poll working and vote counting?
	Go ahead.
	Sir, but can I say something?
	Please.
	It's not hard work.
	This is eighth grade level, okay?
	No, I know.
	It's a tangent of education.
	This is not difficult stuff.
	No, I know.
	And now we see what happens when we don't have GOP together.
	Absolutely.
	absolutely oh no no no no no no no no please I don't want to be misunderstood I'm just wondering if, as they're gathering personnel to do a lot of poll watching, vote counting, etc., etc., whoever's making those selections, I know there's no magic beanie that we walk around revealing our party affiliation, but I'm just wondering if a lot of those positions are going to go more demonstrably to Democrats in the Milwaukee general area.
	Ten seconds, go ahead.
	Right, but that's why we have to put pressure on legislators to say, hey, you know, like, I went to my local GOP office, and that's how I got on.
	Well, you know, and say, Kenneth, I'm out of time, but absolutely, if you don't show up, God bless you, if you don't show up, you know you won't get picked.

	How are you?
	Yes, good.
	How about you?
	Doing super.
	Thank you.
	Okay.
	I don't understand why we can't have a re-election.
	Another election?
	Kind of a mulligan, because it's just kind of not provided for by law is the tricky thing.
	Our elections kind of are what they are.
	Now this one is a big murky mess.
	This one happened.
	We have the totals as they were delivered, and a whole lot of people, millions of people, think it's fraudulent, laced with dishonesty and inaccurate vote counting.
	So we are left to plow the landscape of this election and see if there is a more satisfying result.
	And I don't even just mean politically satisfying.
	I mean something that if the Electoral College is not going to work out, and if we can get enough electors or competing slates of electors to where Congress decides not to accept certain states' electoral ballots, then it goes to the House and Trump wins.
	And that's constitutional.
	This election will forever be tainted, but the notion of just saying, ah, it was terrible, let's do it again.
	It doesn't really work that way.
	Right, if the judges are bought off.
	Millions of voters are denied, Republican or Democrat, Biden voters or Trump voters.
	We've been denied a reliable result.
	And that's horrible for the republic.
	It is horrible for the country.
	And our election security has been dashed against the rocks, sacrificed on a phony altar of COVID concerns.
	We didn't need all these infernal weeks of early voting.
	I've always hated early voting.
	I told you that.
	I'll play ball with you two, three days.

	Mark Davison for Dennis trending and now on the Hugh Hewitt show Hugh, when you're committing fraud, you're kind of covering your tracks.
	When there are irregularities, you still have people defending the system.
	It's not an easy fight.
	So, Kurt, I think the president of Maria Bartiromo yesterday was trying to tell his supporters, I'm not going to win any lawsuits.
	I am going to run for president in 2024. And by the way, we need to win Georgia.
	I think that's what he was saying yesterday.
	And I speak Trump pretty well.
	He's saying it's hard to get to the Supreme Court.
	There is presently no lawsuit that has not been dismissed that would alter any result in any state.
	That's a factual statement.
	Do you agree with it?
	I think that you are correctly assessing the president's position.
	The president's a practical guy.
	He's a smart guy.
	Look, he's a guy who builds tall buildings.
	And fantasy doesn't enter into it when it comes to engineering.
	The building either stands or it falls.
	And sometimes you don't like the answer.
	I do think he'll run in 2024. That's just what my gut says.
	I think there are a lot of Republicans who are going to grumble a little about having a...
	You know, stand back in line an extra four to eight years.
	But that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
	This is a very competitive guy.
	This is a guy who arguably chose to run for president when Barack Obama insulted him at the White House press correspondence dinner.
	He wants to win.
	He wants to Grover Cleveland this all over the place.
	And I would not put it past him.

	I wish we would have prevented Warnock and Ossoff from becoming United States senators.
	I wrote this in my Newsweek piece, and I'm sure that plenty of members of the activist media are going to take exception to this.
	But we need to turn the United States Senate into a legislative kill squad, a graveyard where the Democrats' dystopian and ruinous socialist ideas go to die.
	We should be unafraid talking about this because their ideas are actually widely unpopular.

	How can you not take this seriously and understand that if Biden were inaugurated under this cloud right now with 70 million plus people believing he's a real fraud, not just they don't like him, they didn't vote for him, but that he's a fraud, that you wouldn't speak up. they didn't vote for him, but that he's a fraud, This is, again, I'm just mystified.
	I don't get this.
	Well, and part of it is that people believe the kind of hypnosis from the main propaganda channels, where they say, well, there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
	First of all, there you have an objective and a subjective statement.
	So this is a very important point that we need to...
	You've heard this many times, right?
	It's almost an incantation that they say on television every day.
	There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
	They say it almost as a prayer ritual on CNN. They have to every day.
	And so what you have there is a no, meaning there's none, zero.
	That's an objective.
	And then widespread.
	That's a really important thing, though.
	How do you define widespread?
	This is really important.
	For example, 1% wouldn't be widespread.
	That's not widespread.
	1% is the margin in many of these states.
	So all of a sudden, if we just have 1% voter fraud, Eric, 1% Donald Trump is president.
	And based on all the evidence we have, we have way more evidence to show there's even more than 1%.
	But look, but even that narrative, in other words, to talk about that, isn't the real issue, Charlie, that we're talking about conspiracy?
	There were people, leaders, powerful people, Who made a decision before the election that this is what we're going to do.

	We're going to pay a little tribute to Walter Williams this hour, one of the great...
	Mines, one of the great voices, an amazing thinker, writer, speaker.
	Walter Williams was a professor of economics at George Mason University, and from that perch, and I don't know if his decades and decades of writing and speaking and TV appearances, you take that, and then really just a handful of situations where he filled in for Rush.
	Take those things and put them together and this will broaden your impact and broaden your appeal.
	Walter Williams was an incredible man.
	An amazing professor, an incredibly courageous conservative, and speaking of my Twitter feed, I put up some of my favorite quotes from him during the day yesterday and some of his columns, and I might share a snippet or two there as we work our way through some folks.
	But folks have been hanging on.
	Let's take care of people, people, people first.
	And that's at 1-8-Prager-776, 1-8-Prager-776.
	As we head into, let's go to Philadelphia, an always newsworthy city, Tony, hey, Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How are you?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Operator error.
	Hang on a second.
	It's over here.
	Hi, Tony.
	There you go.
	Much better.
	How are you, sir?
	Hey, I'm good, Mark.
	I've got a quick question for you.
	It seems to me that when a lot of people, and I'm a liberal, so get you prepared.
	That's quite all right.
	I'm glad to have you.
	When a lot of people vote, Republicans don't do so well.
	When fewer people vote, Republicans do much better.
	I think that's glib.
	I think that's glib and probably wrong.
	I mean, a lot of people voted in 2016. A lot of people voted in 2016, and Trump won.
	That is correct.
	It seems to me that the Republican message may be, you know, this is what I find, conservatives are really good at pointing the finger at liberals and they can point out all the inconsistencies and the hypocrisies and the flaws and the crazy ideas and all the quirks, but they have a hard time pointing that finger back at themselves and looking at some of their quirks.
	What would be, and I very seriously and sincerely, because it's funny, sometimes looking at something from outside can be a fresh and valuable take.
	So with no doubt, I'm asking your question, so that without any dog in our personal political hunt, what is it that strikes you as an introspective thing Republicans could do to broaden our appeal, or whatever you're referring to?
	I'll tell you one thing that really irked me about Trump for decades.
	That wasn't what I asked you, but okay.
	For generations, conservatives have said about family values, don't lie, the moral majority, Christ-like, his religious liberty.
	When Trump becomes president, he becomes their leader.
	That's like if Bernie Sanders became the leader of...
	Let me help you out with that.
	Let me, as an actual evangelical Christian, let me help you out with that.
	I have never gone looking at the presidential level for someone who has walked a similar evangelical walk to me.
	We had an actual evangelical Christian married to one woman who's an actual Bible teacher.
	His name is Jimmy Carter, and it was the second worst presidency of my lifetime.
	So that's not what's important to the presidency.
	What is important to the presidency, the presidential character issues are...
	Promising people something and then delivering.
	Protecting my religious freedom against the forces of PC and anarchy that would take those things away.
	And that is why President Trump was enormously popular among evangelical Christians.
	Also, redemption means something.
	It's not as...
	I mean, does he have things in his past that are that are dicey?
	Does he have the Lord knows?
	You bet.
	But Bill Clinton was having, you know, God knows What kind of sex in the actual White House, and everybody loved him.
	So, uh, redemption has a meaning?
	Go ahead, I'm sorry.
	No, I understand, I understand.
	But it's, it's, it's, no, I understand.
	But a lot of the preaching about that comes from people who gave Clinton a complete pass.
	Go ahead, I'm sorry, go ahead.
	Let me ask you this.
	Do you think his constant lying was a problem?
	And what would be the two or three top lies that you'd like to identify?
	Name them all for me.
	He lied about things so great and small.
	No, no, no.
	Give me the one.
	The one or two.
	I'll give you room.
	That are the most egregious.
	Go ahead.
	Surely you have lots of material.
	Tony, you're not answering the question.
	I'm giving you a third chance.
	I'm giving you a third chance.
	This is chance number three.
	Chance number three.
	Tony, go ahead, I'm sorry.
	Maybe you're answering.
	I'll release my tax returns.
	I'll release my tax returns.
	As if the audit was a problem that he couldn't release his tax returns.
	Why did he never release his tax returns?
	Because if he wants to use the audit as an excuse, he can do that.
	I don't think any politician has an obligation.
	The audit never stopped.
	I mean, this is the top one that you go to?
	This really is...
	Tony, I know you're not a fan and not a voter, and that's okay.
	But this is the first thing that occurs to you in terms of identifying somebody as a liar?
	Come on, man!
	Get better material!
	Trump lied over 20,000 times as president.
	Oh, spare me that nonsense.
	Did he lie?
	Tony, did he lie?
	Tony, this is absurd.
	Listen, I know you don't like me, and that's fine.
	And that's fine.
	Who's going to pay for the wall on the Mexican border?
	All of that triangulation about the wall was about trade deals with Mexico that would result in Mexico...
	You guys just can't point the finger back at yourself and say, yeah, let's be honest.
	Okay.
	In all honesty, and just really seriously, and then I'll even give you another point if you want to make it, here are the truths that matter.
	On the things that matter.
	Did Trump tell the truth when he said our borders are too porous?
	Yes.
	Did he tell the truth when he said I'm going to give you constitutionalist Supreme Court justices?
	Yes.
	Did he tell the truth when he said that climate extremism endangers our economy?
	Yes.
	Did he tell the truth when he said I'm going to reduce your taxes?
	Yes.
	Did he tell the truth when he said send your kids back to school?
	Yes.
	On all those big things that really do matter, Tony, those were Truths.
	He had a great big replacement for Obamacare.
	It was a great, beautiful health care plan.
	Where'd that go?
	It's not that politicians can't say things they can't back up, but when Trump does it, just the level of lies he told.
	You guys seem so shocked that Trump was losing such a landslide.
	There was no landslide, obviously.
	As far as repeal and replace, you have a strong point in repeal and replace, and it's true across the Republican Party.
	We're real good on repeal, haven't been so great on replace.
	If I can tell you in 30 seconds what the best thing to replace Obamacare is, then every Republican from Trump on down ought to be able to do it, and that didn't happen with nearly the effectiveness that it should have.
	That's a meritorious point to do that.
	Here's what I'd say.
	Here's what I'd say, last thing.
	The Republican who finds a backbone, who finds a spine to say Trump was bad for our party, is going to be a hero.
	But that's false.
	But that's provably false.
	That is provably false, because the success of the party...
	Oh, dude, you're going to have an interesting time.
	You may like it or not like it, Tony.
	Do me a favor.
	You'll be saying Trump was the worst thing that happened to the Republican Party.
	No, dude.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm so sorry.
	That's not going to happen.
	I know you'd love it to happen, but it's just not going to happen.
	By the way, part of this is thoroughly okay.
	I don't expect you to see conservative successes through the same lens that I do.
	That's fine.
	That's not a fault of yours or a criticism at all.
	At all.
	You see lies, you see deceit, and we're all going to distance from him, we're all going to hate that he was ever president.
	This is Donald Trump's Republican Party.
	And if a lot of squishes and malcontents and never-Trumpers and ne'er-do-wells, and over at the National Review and the bulwark, and they think they're going to somehow claw their way back.
	To relevancy in conservative circles, they are dreaming.
	But I value your point.
	I value your thoughts, and I truly do.
	So, in for Dennis today.

	why do we keep asking for dr. Fauci's expertise in this pandemic He's been inconsistent and wrong from the start.
	Yeah, that's what Kennedy said last night on Fox Business Network.
	She had a pretty scathing reaction to Fauci saying, close the bars, but open schools.
	We've been foisted!
	First no masks, now masks.
	Then no school, now school.
	Pick a damn lane while you still have a job, Fauci.
	In the meantime, you can either politely force New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to open all schools or, Anthony, come watch my kids a couple days a week.
	Good luck keeping the dog off the bed.
	He has a soft spot for Taco Bell and Starbucks snowman cookies.

	That's quite a memo.

	I was talking to my pal Mark Davis this morning about, he took an online poll.
	It was so funny.
	We had such an interesting, one of my greatest friends in the world, and Mark did a Twitter poll asking of the three options when the vaccines start rolling out within weeks, God willing, are you going to be one first in line?
	As soon as you can get it, you'll get it.
	Two, you'll take a wait-and-see approach before you get the vaccine.
	Or three, heck no, I'm not getting the vaccine.
	And Mark starts reading the numbers to me, 70% voted for two and three.

	I think that they don't want it to be true.
	I think that there's a discomfort that will set in.
	There's almost a point of no going back as soon as you start to admit that there is this broad organized criminal network that probably stole this election.
	And I think a lot of people are kind of saying, look...
	Ten months ago, I was living a nice life.
	We had a great New Year celebration.
	No one was wearing masks, and everything was wonderful.
	Can we just go back to that?
	Maybe Joe Biden will get us back to that.
	And it's almost as if, if you start to talk about this, there is no going back to that.
	I think what you're saying is correct for your average person.
	What I don't understand is people that I would think of as on the right side, as heroic voices.
	Have been quiet.
	The question is why are they not speaking out about it?

	Sally, can we start with this Johns Hopkins thing?
	Now, from what I can tell, the study comes out, and this researcher, she appears to have really good credentials, says, look, when you look at all deaths in America, there really hasn't been a spike.
	Because for whatever reason, the number of people attributed to having died from heart attacks or strokes has been added to the number of people that have died from COVID-19.
	So the overall number really isn't that much different.
	And then a couple days later, Johns Hopkins puts out a statement, Sally, and says, ah, sorry, wrong, we retract this.

	Dennis is back tomorrow for your Friday talk show, listening and dancing pleasure.
	Mark Davis here today, filling in from 660 AM, the answer in the big DFW. You know, earlier we had the wonderful lady from Wisconsin who talked, it was kind of a call to action to say, hey Republicans, get out there and try to be poll workers and get out there and try to be involved in this.
	You know, the election judge, vote counting stuff, so it's not all Democrats doing that, which is a superb idea, but I asked her there in essentially a suburb of Milwaukee, if that's not a bit of an uphill climb, wouldn't it be great if all kinds of concerns, because you know where we need you?
	We need you in Atlanta.
	You know where we need you?
	We need you in Philly.
	We need you in Detroit.
	You know, Salt Lake City, I think we're good.
	And I asked sort of rhetorically, What happens when Republicans try to get these important gigs in heavily Democrat cities, heavily Democrat areas?
	We'll get a little bit of feedback on that.
	We're in Surprise, Arizona.
	Don, hey!
	Mark Davison for Dennis, how are you?
	I'm doing fantastic.
	How are you doing?
	I'm wonderful.
	It's very nice to have you.
	So, two quick things.
	One, Walter Williams was great.
	He'll be sorely missed.
	We need more people like him.
	And two, your previous caller, it'd be nice if they could actually be a little intellectually honest.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	It's all right.
	So now, I signed up, or tried to sign up, to be a poll watcher here in Arizona.
	The surprise is a suburb of Phoenix.
	And the first thing they ask, I called the state, and I called the county.
	They're both run by Democrats these days, the poll situation here.
	And the first thing they ask you is, are you a registered voter?
	And the minute you say yes, they look up your voter registration and they say, oh, you're a Republican.
	And I said yes, and then the next thing, I never heard back from them.
	Click.
	Click in a dial tone.
	I just never heard back.
	I took my information and that was it.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, everything's anecdotal at this point, but I'll take an anecdote.
	And, Don, thank you.
	All right, let's roll to my old stomping grounds.
	Montgomery County, Maryland.
	Lisa, hey.
	Mark Davison for Dennis, how are you?
	Yes, hi.
	While I'm in Montgomery County, I'm a heavy Democrat.
	I can tell you that, yes, you can easily get a job.
	uh, but a hundred percent, you get to drive a room.
	We don't give you anything to do with what we found out.
	Yeah.
	You're a tough, pardon me.
	I'm sorry.
	Can you hear me?
	No, it's, it's, it's a, it's a crappy cell, Lisa, uh, to use the vernacular.
	So, am I correct that you got trained, if I heard you correctly, you went through the training and then didn't get chosen.
	100% they know I'm a Republican, because once I was trained, went through the test, got my little adorable pen, and showed up for work, I had to sign it every day, and next to my name was my party.
	And I can tell you 100% that they definitely did not get me near any machines, and yes, I did the work, but I can also tell you that this segment is about But I can tell you that I saw plenty of things.
	I was a canvasser as well as a poll worker.
	I did one week of poll work, I did canvassing, and I saw numerous things.
	But the thing I want to make clear is that A hundred percent.
	They know who you are the moment you are.
	They know who you are.
	And Lisa, thank you.
	We fought through it, I think, with good result.
	And in a Washington, D.C., or a liberal county in Maryland, which is to say almost all of them, in a Milwaukee general metro area, in a Philly, in a Detroit, in an Atlanta, You want to talk about how relevant this now becomes,
	because one of the things that would be really cool to do would be to have a whole lot of Republicans, good, hard-working, principled Republicans, show up to do some poll work and some vote counting in Atlanta around, oh, I don't know, maybe January 5?
	I think there's going to be pretty heavy demand at that point.
	One would like to think that those overtures would not be spurned.
	Oh, boy.
	We're in Springfield, Illinois.
	Bob, hey, Mark Davison for Dennis, how are you?
	I'm good.
	Hey, listen, if somebody says, if somebody claims that there was massive vote fraud and a massive conspiracy without any evidence, and when everybody who's in a position to assess whether or not that's true says it isn't true, isn't the person making that claim the one who's committing fraud?
	Well, you've misstated the claim a little bit.
	Massive is a word usually used by the left.
	There's not an assertion that much of massive or widespread.
	It doesn't have to be either massive or widespread.
	Just the right amount of fraud in just the right amount of cities will give you a result that will turn it on its head.
	The people who have said they have not found certain amounts of fraud are the kind of countable vote That if you apply those countably fraudulent votes, it would turn a state from a Biden state to a Trump state.
	It is judicially true and mathematically true at the moment that that kind of margin has not been found.
	So the assertion now is, and feel free to address this, That from these testimonies on top of testimonies of appearing and disappearing votes and scrutiny that's denied and the failure to match votes and the failure to stick to the proper constraints that give you a secure election, the dashing of all that against the rocks makes the entire result questionable.
	Would you like to address that?
	Trump is claiming a coordinated conspiracy resulting in millions of fraudulent votes in six states.
	There's no evidence of that.
	So isn't he committing fraud by claiming it?
	I don't know if the claim of millions of fraudulent votes may be a bit high.
	You don't have to have millions to throw a state in some of the...
	Well, okay, if you want to harp on that, you may.
	But do you believe that this election was completely clean and that everything was fine and all the scrutiny was allowed?
	Do you believe it was a completely free and fair election?
	I'm just asking you to address the question.
	Now I'm asking you a question.
	I've enjoyed yours.
	Do you believe that this was a free and fair and accurate election?
	Yes, I do.
	Because I put my faith in the same thing you put your faith in in the last election.
	I think there was fraud in the last election.
	It just wasn't enough to keep Trump from winning.
	But in the last election, you believed all the governors and the people who certified the vote last time, right?
	There wasn't a basis for...
	We didn't have the COVID nonsense.
	Well, I have a feeling you like the result this time, because there's a part of human nature that'll work that way both ways.
	However, this was an unprecedented year.
	With early voting expanded to ridiculous lengths, voting allowed after the closing of polls, scrutiny of close states denied, machine politics in big Democrat cities resulting in the intimidation of people who tried to apply scrutiny to these votes.
	Those things didn't happen in 2016. This is unprecedented.
	We've had voter fraud in every election, probably since George Washington's first.
	But this is the first one that may have yielded.
	A fraudulent result.
	All righty, Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Be right back.

	California Governor Gavin Newsom has repeatedly called on Californians to come together and make sacrifices to fight COVID-19.
	The request would have been better received if, at the same time, At the same time, Governor Newsom wasn't off violating his own public health guidance by dining with a group of lobbyists at one of America's most posh restaurants, or sending his kids to a Sacramento private school in person while many California schools remain closed for in-person learning and millions of students slog their way through online classes.
	The problem with Newsom's hypocritical actions is that they undercut the very healthcare professionals and scientists whose advice he is asking Californians to follow.
	It makes those of us who live in California wonder who we can trust and what guidance we should be listening to.

	And nearly 9% said that they would have voted for Trump or a third-party candidate or not voted at all for president had they known about the allegation.

	Good.
	Good morning.
	Nice to have you.
	saying good things about our president the best one we ever had thank you and I did want to just offer a slight opinion and it's maybe a little but I think that what they did to us in in May the impeachment debacle was nothing less than a failed coup d'etat by a bunch of intellectual
	sure I know I know it's done worse damage to us than Osama bin Laden if they're left left to stand with that fight going into office yeah the coup imagery thanks Jim the coup imagery is is what's a metaphor unless unless one takes it somewhat literally and I think what in the world is a better term
	I mean it is a metaphor is The use of flowery language describes something to represent something else.
	A coup actually is an attempt by violence to change the leadership of a country.
	And this impeachment was political violence, if I could be allowed that usage.
	It was baseless.
	It was partisan.
	And it's forgotten.
	It's forgotten.
	It was the product of people who hated Trump's guts to begin with.
	And looking forward, people always said, well, look out for the next Democrat president because we're going to turn around and do the same thing to him.
	Well, my hope is that we don't wind up with a Democrat president ever.
	We're going to get some.
	My lifetime will be filled with people I voted for and people I didn't.
	But our standards are just shot.
	They're just shot.
	Did Nixon deserve impeachment?
	Yeah.
	And he got out before that happened.
	Did Clinton deserve impeachment?
	Ha ha ha.
	Trick question for some.
	Bill Clinton was not impeached for anything sexual or anything moral.
	It was because he lied to a federal grand jury in an attempt to fix a valid civil rights lawsuit, the Paula Jones case.
	So, for the rest of our lives, we're going to have presidents we agreed with and those that we did not.
	And we got to figure out what we're going to do with those.
	And I don't ever think it's going to be a good idea to gin up some basis for impeachment just because of things that we don't like.
	The revenge motive is going to be tempting.
	And the revenge motive is filling a lot of heads and a lot of hearts right now.
	They cheat, so maybe we should cheat.
	They play dirty, so maybe we should play dirty.
	They lie, so maybe we should lie about them.
	I don't think that it conveys weakness to play by the rules.
	I don't think that it suggests a lack of passion if we answer their dishonorable behavior with our honorable behavior.
	And so, as we move forward, challenging times arise.
	There's a challenge of trying to see what we can do with this election result.
	If that somehow succeeds, did we get a Trump term, a second term right now?
	You think that means that everything is easy sailing moving forward?
	I don't think so.
	If we get a Biden presidency, we'll have plenty of challenges that we'll need to address, and we'd better have a Republican Senate there as a backstop.
	So don't even let me hear of those who are suggesting that we need to, through some toddler tantrum, deny Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.
	The votes that they need to keep a Republican Senate, no matter who, winds up being president for the next four years.
	I've got a Walter Williams column to share, and it's about COVID. What more timely thing could we do as we talked about his passing earlier at the age of 84?

	It's not an easy fight.
	So, Kurt, I think the president on Maria Bartiromo yesterday was trying to tell his supporters, I'm not going to win any lawsuits.
	I am going to run for president in 2024. And by the way, we need to win Georgia.
	I think that's what he was saying yesterday.
	And I speak Trump pretty well.
	He's saying it's hard to get to the Supreme Court.
	There is presently no lawsuit that has not been dismissed that would alter any result in any state.
	That's a factual statement.
	Do you agree with it?
	I think that you are correctly assessing the president's position.
	The president's a practical guy.
	He's a smart guy.
	Look, he's a guy who builds tall buildings.
	And fantasy doesn't enter into it when it comes to engineering.
	The building either stands or it falls.
	And sometimes you don't like the answer.
	I do think he'll run in 2024. That's just what my gut says.
	I think there are a lot of Republicans who are going to grumble a little about having a...
	You know, stand back in line an extra four to eight years.
	But that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
	This is a very competitive guy.
	This is a guy who arguably chose to run for president when Barack Obama insulted him at the White House press correspondence dinner.
	He wants to win.
	He wants to Grover Cleveland this all over the place.

	Alrighty, 1-8 Prager 776. I'm not kidding about this either.
	I tell you, you want to talk about a higher love?
	There is no higher love you can show for a child.
	Than to take a situation that is a really, really tough hand to be dealt and make it better.
	What can we do for kids who already may be impoverished enough but also have a poverty at home in terms of a lack of parental love because maybe they've got a parent in prison.
	Maybe they've got a mom or dad in prison.
	Jail.
	So let's take care of that with the Angel Tree campaign.
	Dennis tells you about this, and I'm here, so I'm going to tell you about it, too.
	Mark Davison for Dennis, by the way.
	Appreciate you being here for me.
	And we're going to get right back to your calls here in a second.
	But here's what we've got.
	It takes a lot of work to line up families with the presents and the Bibles and the notes from the moms and dads who are in jail.
	You know what this means to a kid?
	To get the love of Christ and the love of a mom or dad and the loving donation of a gift from you.
	22 bucks!
	As little as 22 bucks and you've done this for a child.
	And I want you to hear a gentleman named Jeremy Hart who is part of this wonderful prison fellowship group.
	Every donation, large or small, is important can potentially change the life of a prisoner's child.
	Listen to Jeremy Hart.
	I think it's important that God allows us to help the kids connect.
	I had one, 20, that you put down to me and say, you know, hey, I'll see my dad.
	And this is the love of Christ.
	You're a love of a mom and dad.
	You should see the love of a dad.
	...with us.
	And we're standing in the gap.
	So that's what Angel Tree is, is we want to stand in the gap.
	but here's your opportunity to stand in that gap and help them do so Ten kids for $220.
	22 for one.
	Do your math in between or beyond.
	We appreciate it so much.
	This campaign has been so successful.

	Thank you very, very much.
	We appreciate it enormously.
	Alright, there's somebody that I have the enormous, just the opportunity to share with you.
	A couple of Walter Williams quotes.
	The founders knew that a democracy would lead to some kind of tyranny.
	The term democracy appears in none of our founding documents.
	Their vision for us was a republic and limited government.
	I gave you the earlier quote from Walter Williams.
	Let me offer you my definition of social justice.
	I keep what I earn and you keep what you earn.
	If you disagree, tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you and why.
	Government is about coercion.
	Limiting government is the single most important instrument for guaranteeing liberty.
	We're working on a third generation which has little in the way of education about what our Constitution means and why it was written.
	Thus, we fall in easy prey to charlatans, quacks, and hustlers.
	So, on my Twitter feed, there's a wonderful column by Walter Williams called Benefits vs.
	Costs and COVID-19.
	So I can take some calls here.
	Let me let you just take a look at that.
	It's at townhall.com.
	April 22nd, Walter Williams benefits versus costs and COVID-19.
	It kind of begins as follows.
	One of the first lessons in economics is everything has a cost.
	That's in stark contrast to lessons in the political arena where politicians talk about free stuff.
	In our personal lives, decision-making involves weighing costs against benefits.
	Businessmen make the same calculation if they want to stay in business.
	It's an entirely different story for politicians running the government where any benefit, however minuscule, is often deemed to be worth any cost, however large.
	Related to decision-making is the issue of being overly safe versus not safe enough.
	Sometimes being as safe as one can is worthless.
	A minor example.
	How many of us, before driving our cars, inspect the hydraulic brake system for damage?
	We'd be safer if we did, but most of us just assume everything's okay.
	We get into our car, we drive away.
	The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 40,000 Americans lose their lives each year because of highway fatalities.
	Virtually all those lives could be saved with a mandated 5 mile per hour speed limit.
	There you go.
	Maybe that's where this originally came from.
	Fortunately, we consider costs and rightfully conclude that saving those 40,000 lives aren't worth the cost and inconvenience of such a slow speed limit.
	Alrighty, let us roll to your calls at 1-8 Prager-776.
	We're in Lorain, Ohio.
	Hey, Tom.
	Mark Davison for Dennis.
	Welcome.
	How are you?
	I'm doing good, man.
	How are you?
	Doing great.
	Nice to have you.
	First of all, I just wanted to say that since Trump lost the election, it has been just a delight.
	Listen, I've listened to a lot of conservative radio since then.
	And it's just been delicious listening to all of you guys trying to tie yourselves into pretzels.
	I'm so pleased.
	Telling your listeners that this guy has got a second term coming.
	And this has just been...
	I don't know how likely it is.
	Anybody stepping forward and saying that it's a really strong likelihood might be a bit of a fantasy, but you know you try.
	You have an election that was fraught with uncertainty and fraught with fraud and fraught with improprieties.
	You see what you can do about it.
	And it's funny.
	Wouldn't your side, if you felt that you got screwed as badly as we did, wouldn't your side do the same?
	My side would look at the evidence that's been pushed forward so far.
	Sure you would.
	Are you going to talk over me?
	I may well.
	So if you can handle it, fine.
	If not, then see ya.
	Go ahead.
	Alright.
	Well, I would listen to Chris Krebs.
	Sure you would.
	I would listen to the Attorney General of the United States.
	And I would accept my defeat, and I would concede, and I would move on.
	Like an adult.
	Well, let's tell you what, if it really were exactly like this, if you had counting, vote counting that was obstructed, if you had stuff in the windows so that your prized Democrat poll watchers couldn't count those votes, if you had mysterious things and spikes at 3 o'clock in the morning against your candidate, you'd just be sanguine about it and go, eh, we lost, so be it.
	Really?
	No, I would take it into court and I would Prove it.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	Not all these things are going to be...
	They won't always be provable.
	sometimes they'll be anecdotal to do it and one of the things be different is the media culture would be cheering you every step of the way up trending now from the earth the taxes show up
	I think that they don't want it to be true.
	I think that there's a discomfort that will set in.
	There's almost a point of no going back as soon as you start to admit that there is this broad organized criminal network that probably stole this election.
	And I think a lot of people are kind of saying, look...
	Ten months ago, I was living a nice life.
	We had a great New Year celebration.
	No one was wearing masks and everything was wonderful.
	Can we just go back to that?
	Maybe Joe Biden will get us back to that.
	And it's almost as if, if you start to talk about this, there is no going back to that.
	I think what you're saying is correct for your average person.
	What I don't understand is people that I would think of as on the right side, as heroic voices.
	Have been quiet.
	The question is, why are they not speaking out about it?
	And again, I think there is a retreat saying that either we can't win the more we talk about it.
	I'm going to pay a big personal cost if I talk about it, which is a very big thing, Eric.
	The more that we've been talking about this, we've been suppressed by social media.
	We've gotten strikes by the big tech companies.
	This is not exactly...
	A topic or an issue that is lighthearted to talk about in the 6 o'clock news hour.
	This is serious stuff that involves criminal networks, this involves cover-ups, this involves the actual integrity of our elections.
	There is a group of people out there that are in power, you know, Senator McConnell and some of these other members of Congress, that they're okay if Trump loses.
	In fact, they're more powerful.
	Mitch McConnell becomes the pseudo-Republican president.
	Keep up with what's trending.

	Trending now on The Larry Elder Show.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Sally, can we start with this Johns Hopkins thing?
	Now, from what I can tell, the study comes out, and this researcher, she appears to have really good credentials, says, look, when you look at all deaths in America, there really hasn't been a spike, because for whatever reason, the number of people attributed to having died from heart attacks or strokes...
	Well, I like to say, it's an old saying, statistics are a lot like sausages.
	You'd like them a whole lot better if you don't know what went into them.
	I think this is the case with COVID.
	Larry, there only have been, what, 274,000 deaths in the U.S. from COVID out of a total number of almost 2 million.
	But only 6% of the people have died from the COVID alone.
	The rest of the people had a comorbidity rate of 2.6.
	A lot of these people that died, 85% or over age 65, they were in nursing homes.
	A lot of them had heart issues.
	It has been.
	Woo-hoo!
	Always great to be with you.
	Mark Davis here at 660 AM, The Answer, in the big Dallas-Fort Worth.
	And you can follow me on Twitter, at Mark Davis.
	If you want a whole book full of stuff that sounds like me, well, because I wrote it, it would be called Upside Down, How the Left Turned Right into Wrong, Truth into Lies, Good into Bad.
	That's a lot of subtitle.
	Just do Mark Davis, Upside Down.
	It's kind of a one-stop shop for constructively and good-humoredly arguing with your liberal friends.
	About virtually everything, Upside Down by Mark Davis, wherever fine books are sold.
	Alrighty, always go to DennisPrager.com for all things Dennis, and he'll be back tomorrow, and it was wonderful to have been here with you.
	Let's see what we can do on the way out here.
	We are in Brooklyn.
	Elliot, hey, Mark Davis in for Dennis.
	Welcome.
	How are you?
	Hi, Mark.
	How are you?
	I'm good.
	Thank you.
	You sound like a nice guy because my brother's name is Mark.
	You spell it a seal.
	Look at there.
	Look at there.
	How can we go wrong?
	No, I wanted to talk to you.
	You said that this was a political coup.
	No, I believe it was a violent coup.
	You know, when you use a virus to disrupt the economy and then upset an election, I believe that was purposely done.
	So maybe people disagree with me, but I sincerely believe it.
	Because if you don't send out 2,500 planes out of Wuhan, Well, believe you me, there's plenty of Chinese malfeasance to be chronicled, and I don't know if we'll ever divine or fathom the source of that.
	However it got here, the weaponization of the virus in order to throw our election norms and dash them against the rocks was absolutely intentional.
	Let's stay in the Empire State and go to Yonkers.
	Why not?
	It's always worth it going to Yonkers.
	Hey, Bobbi, Mark Davison for Dennis.
	How you doing?
	You get to take us out.
	Hi, great.
	Thanks for having me on.
	My pleasure.
	So, you know, I just wanted to comment to a couple of your callers that called in recently.
	When people say there's no fraud, prove it, prove it, prove it, I'm an attorney, okay?
	And I have been for over 20 years now.
	Thank you.
	You don't prove fraud by going on television and I don't know what they think they're going to see, right?
	What do they mean when they say prove it?
	If you have people, eyewitnesses, testifying, they're swearing under signed oaths that they've taken in either a deposition...
	Or in an affidavit.
	And they're saying, look, I saw this.
	Look, this happened to me.
	That is proof.
	That is proof.
	Or at least it's evidence.
	At least it's evidence and testimony that deserves to be weighed.
	And, Counselor, thank you, because you're totally right.
	I think when people say, prove it, prove it, like numerically, they mean, if Trump lost a state by 30,000 votes, they would say, show me 30,001 votes that are provably fraudulent and wrong.
	That ain't gonna happen.
	Which is why, by the way, the courtroom solution is always something that I was skeptical about.
	Electoral college is a different matter.
	Follow me on Twitter to learn more.
	At Mark Davis.
	Dennis back tomorrow.
	God bless y'all.
	Thanks so much.
