	Hi, everybody.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Hope you had a good weekend.
	I don't know what a good weekend constitutes during this last seven months.
	Seven months, is it?
	No, eight months.
	Had you told me eight months ago people will be in lockdown in eight months, I would have thought that you were living in some dystopian dream.
	It is dystopian, but it is not a dream.
	I'm listening to hearings that took place in November.
	I have to, in light of my job, I am a professional news gatherer.
	That's what I do for a living, among other things.
	So I have to be aware of what is happening, and I was not aware that there were hearings in the United States Senate on the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine.
	The media...
	Our frauds in the deepest sense, but they're a bigger fraud, and I don't use hyperbole.
	There's one difference between the mainstream media and the Soviet media, like Pravda and Izvestia.
	The difference is Pravda and Izvestia were honest in telling you that they spoke for the Communist Party, whereas our media are dishonest and don't tell you they're spokesmen for the Democratic Party and the left.
	If they did, I would not attack them.
	It's the lie of the media as being truth-oriented that is so deceptive and morally wrong.
	That's the problem.
	Same with the universities.
	We're here to make left-wing students?
	I would have no argument.
	It's the deception that is so immoral.
	Why didn't I know about these hearings?
	I'm listening to them now, courtesy of a listener.
	I get great stuff from you folks on the air and email.
	Two and a half hours.
	I've listened to 45 minutes.
	And my anger just builds.
	I believe there was no reason for at least half the deaths of this country.
	Had hydroxychloroquine and zinc, and now ivermectin.
	Completely safe, over-the-counter things, supplements.
	I take hydroxychloroquine.
	I am consistent with what I advocate.
	Zero side effects.
	Zero.
	I have no consciousness of taking it other than the fact that I take it.
	I have hugged hundreds of strangers.
	Hugged.
	Maskless.
	And I'm a senior citizen.
	I have lived my life fully.
	I want to convey that to my children.
	The purpose of life is not to live.
	That is the purpose of an animal's life.
	The purpose of a human life is to live fully.
	I'm not an animal.
	I deeply want to live a long time, like most healthy people, like all healthy people.
	But it is not the only desire of my life.
	I want to lead a full life.
	What did I tell you for decades about visiting Israel, remember?
	Well, I'll go when it's safe.
	So I've gone 25 times when it's not safe.
	Experiences of my life, taking 500 of you, as I will, by the way, again next October.
	The banner is on my website.
	And what did I tell you?
	What did I tell you all the time?
	If you wait until it's quote-unquote safe, you'll never go.
	The purpose of life is not to be safe.
	Safety is a good thing.
	It's not the thing.
	It's not better safe than sorry.
	It's better safe than live fully.
	No, I don't agree with that.
	I'd rather live fully.
	The lockdowns, Tell me where they've worked.
	And don't tell me Taiwan and Korea, where apparently they had antibodies from prior viruses.
	You have a completely homogeneous society for whatever that means, and I don't know what it means, but I don't think it's irrelevant, that the societies that have had the lowest death rate have been the most homogeneous.
	Finland and Europe, right?
	Finland and Norway.
	In Africa, virtually every African country has had an exceedingly low death rate.
	They're homogeneous.
	And Korea and Taiwan, same thing.
	Countries with the greatest death rate have been the most heterogeneous.
	The UK, Italy, France, United States.
	I have no idea what that means.
	I have no idea if it's significant.
	But it is worth looking into.
	It doesn't strike me as completely anomalous.
	1-8 Prager 776. 877-243-7776-I.
	I will be playing for you.
	When it's done, I'll play some excerpts from those hearings.
	This Dr. Farid from California testified.
	For whatever it's worth, he graduated Harvard Medical School and has a PhD as well as an MD. He called Dr. Zelenko.
	A hero.
	I was deeply touched.
	He is a hero.
	Battling his own cancer while doing all this work.
	It is truly sick.
	Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine.
	But, oh, hydroxychloroquine taken over for over half a century.
	One of the safest medicines ever prescribed.
	Oh, no, no, no, no, doctors.
	You can't prescribe that on an outpatient basis.
	But a vaccine, the first one ever to mess with your DNA, or if you will, not mess.
	No, no, no.
	It is an RNA-based thing, but I think it does the work on your DNA. And it might be perfectly safe.
	I have never been in the anti-vaccine crowd.
	I've taken them all.
	My kids have taken them all.
	But between a rushed vaccine and hydroxychloroquine and zinc and ivermectin, to me, there's no question.
	What would have been better for society?
	A study just came out, half, I gotta get it, that half the firefighters, and I just have to tell you where, but I remember that it's half the firefighters.
	Was it New York who said that they would refuse to take the vaccine?
	Are you familiar with what I'm referring to?
	I got it, I sent it to myself.
	I sent myself emails.
	You know, sometimes you get lonely, you look for an email.
	I would say that if emails conquered loneliness, well, I'm never lonely, so it's irrelevant.
	In New York City, you're right, here it is.
	There we go.
	Revealed, more than half of New York City firefighters say they will not take a COVID vaccine when it becomes available to them.
	A survey of 2053 found that 55% said no when asked, will you get the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer when the department makes it available?
	The poll was taken by the Uniformed Firefighters Association this week.
	There you go.
	Oh, listen to this.
	This is classic.
	This is how your media treat you.
	The Daily Mail has bullets.
	Before there are articles.
	So if you don't want to read the article, you get the bullets.
	So I read to you two bullets.
	Third bullet.
	There are six.
	There are five.
	New York City is setting up plans to distribute COVID-19 vaccines starting this month.
	Bullet number four.
	But misinformation about its effects have contributed to uncertainty.
	This is the new thing of the left, and they're not always left.
	But they have a vast staff, many of whom are leftists, because they're journalists.
	And the new term for what they differ with is not we differ, misinformation.
	We'll be 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, 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.
	At a time when we need leadership and clarity, Newsom has given us hypocrisy and confusion.
	California's voters won't soon forget his shortcomings.

	Washington Post in its history has never endorsed a Republican president, not a Republican The New York Times has not endorsed one since 1956. Tim Groseclose, who wrote the book Left Turn that I often refer to, says that the media were truly fair and balanced.
	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% said 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.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Cuerca.
	Yeah.
	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.
	Very, very powerful.
	It should not have ever happened to me, should never happen to any American citizen who decides to step into the political environment and challenge the...
	You know, those that would otherwise want to change.
	Well, everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
	It's Christmas season.
	It's hard to believe, but it is.
	But morally, I want it to be the Christmas season because people are more generous generally.
	We have a campaign every year.
	I pick a charity, and a charity picks me.
	If I like it, I endorse it.
	And that is to send a gift to a kid whose parent is in prison.
	They get a note from the parent.
	They get the gift, all considered to be from the parent.
	And they get a Bible.
	If that doesn't excite you to support them, nothing will.

	I'm Dennis Prager.
	I watched the President's rally in Georgia.
	He was extremely generous and loving to the two Republican candidates.
	He stressed how important it is that they be elected the first week of January in the runoffs.
	It is not possible, literally not possible, to overstate the importance of the Georgia election.
	If there are Republicans who will not go to the polls, I am prepared to just say the human species is even I am prepared to just say the human species is even more depressing than I had
	You're angry at whomever, so you won't, you will allow the Democrats to bolshevize the country, having the Senate, the House, and the presidency?
	Okay.
	I watched it the entire time.
	I was very curious to see how he would react.
	Chuck in Monrovia, California.
	Hello.
	Dennis, do you believe at this point that the election was a fraud or rigged or somehow misdealt with?
	If I had to bet, if I knew that there were So,
	you're not saying either way whether or not you believe.
	No, I believe there was massive fraud.
	I don't know if it was decisive.
	And have you ever believed this before about an American election?
	Never.
	Then why now?
	Because I have read, and I will do it again, it's completely fair, these are very fair questions you're asking, by the way.
	I wish I didn't.
	I said from the beginning, I wish that Joe Biden won, and I didn't have any doubts about the election.
	Because having nothing to do with Joe Biden or Donald Trump, if in fact it is possible to subvert elections in the United States of America, our future is very dark.
	So I was against the mailing of tens of millions of ballots to people who never requested them from the beginning.
	I thought that that was an invitation to mistakes at best and fraud at worst.
	Do you support mailing tens of millions of ballots to people who never requested them?
	For people who are registered voters, what is the harm, Dennis?
	The harm is that it's unregulated.
	It's not nearly as regulated as if they request a ballot for an absentee ballot or go to the polls.
	I mean, we would all have to acknowledge that.
	If one did wish to be corrupt, It is a much easier way to have tens of millions of ballots that have not been requested than otherwise.
	Do you think it's healthy to send ballots out a month and a half before Election Day?
	I have no reason to think it wouldn't be.
	Do you think that sending them three months before Election Day is unhealthy?
	No, no, no, please answer me.
	I've answered you to the best of my ability.
	I'm not trying to trap you.
	I want to know how you're thinking.
	Is there a point where you think it would render elections a farce if we sent ballots that early?
	Name me the amount of time.
	I don't know, Dennis.
	I'm sorry.
	So, okay, that's fine.
	As I said, I don't want to trap you.
	So you don't have, in other words, I'm going to make a silly one.
	Half a year before Election Day, ballots were sent out.
	Would you be against that, or you're agnostic?
	I'm agnostic.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Listen, thank you for calling, and I mean that sincerely.
	I try to treat people who differ with me as civilly as possible, because I want to encourage that.
	So, this is a wonderful moment of clarity.
	Even half a year before.
	It's like when I asked one of the most prominent Democrats of his era in this studio, is there any tax rate, man who's in charge of tax rates, one of the most powerful men in, I won't say his name because I don't want to embarrass him, one of the most powerful men in the United States House of Representatives, is there any tax rate, income tax rate, you think is too high?
	And he said, I just haven't given that thought.
	The man in the U.S. Congress in charge of tax rates.
	And I'm asking this fine caller, is there any time before an election that is too long before an election to send ballots out?
	And he's agnostic.
	It confirms for me that There is not a single left-wing position that has been thought through.
	It is all emotion.
	Not a single.
	There are liberal positions, there are conservative positions that are thought through, but not one left-wing position.
	Is it thought through to defund police?
	That's a left-wing position.
	Is that thought through?
	Is the lockdown thought through?
	I pray for traffic.
	When I drive to work each day here in Southern California, I pray for traffic.
	I wish people drove just to go on the road.
	Do anything you can to subvert the tyranny that exists in California by a fraud.
	He can go to a restaurant and get caught.
	They all do.
	Nancy Pelosi went to a hair salon without a mask.
	Dianne Feinstein found without a mask at the airport.
	But it's okay, because the rich can tell the middle class, die.
	That's what we have.
	That is the definition of lockdown in the United States of America, circa the year 2020. You middle class business owners, drop dead.
	We will thrive.
	That is what it is about.
	Trending now on the Mike Deliger Show.
	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.
	And that's the memo.
	That's quite a memo.
	It's hard not to get discouraged and confused about how they're going to handle For example, implementing the vaccine.
	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.
	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.

	York New Mexico Maryland Missouri and other states Thank you for calling.
	Don't hang up.
	I want to get to a guest.
	When I told him that he was a hero of mine, he poo-pooed it completely.
	I totally get it that you don't see yourself as heroic, but I think you are.
	And the man I'm talking about is Tony Roman, which is the perfect name for someone who runs an Italian restaurant.
	I mean...
	Your probably original name was Rabinowitz, but I understand.
	Yeah.
	You don't think of Tony Roman running a sushi place.
	No, absolutely not.
	And I won't.
	I understand.
	The owner of Basilico's Restaurant in Orange County, there should be lines, my friends, going around the block.
	We'll ask about how many people are coming.
	So he's operated in open defiance.
	Of the tyrant in California known as Gavin Newsom, the Honorable Gavin Newsom.
	And you have stayed open the whole time with indoor dining.
	We have been completely anti-lockdown, full patriot mode policy.
	Yes, absolutely.
	How is it that you're continuing to operate?
	I would just expect them to put a lock on your door.
	I think when you take a stand...
	Based on principle, and the principle is not about your business.
	It's not about your right to work, your right to income, paying your bills to employ people, but about liberty and freedom, and you make it about that.
	You are then willing to risk everything and put everything on the line.
	And when you do that, the enemies of freedom, like Gavin Pelosi, the mini tyrant who runs California, they understand and they have a fight on their hands.
	So we flaunt it.
	We boast about our patriotism.
	I have deep love for this country.
	And I think when they come calling, they understand that.
	But we do have a criminal action against us, and we do have an ABC violation against us.
	What's ABC? ABC's Alcohol Beverage Control.
	They're looking to revoke our license.
	Right, of course.
	But we're standing up to all of them.
	Okay, so let me understand.
	How can you have a criminal action against you when it's not even established that it's a crime?
	Well, when people ask me that, I don't really care.
	I mean, because even if it was a law, we would defy it.
	We would defy it anyway, because it would be an unjust law.
	So would I. So would I, and I'm 100% in support of you.
	And I want to get to why there aren't more Tony Romans in a moment.
	I just want to understand the specifics, the legal specifics.
	How could there be a criminal charge when there's no crime on the books?
	Great question, and we're going to test that.
	I have personally publicly come out and have challenged him and said, look, if you believe as deeply in your tyrannical policies as we do about our liberties and our freedoms, then let's test it in a court of law.
	File the charges.
	You know, we have this criminal action hanging over us, right?
	But they filed nothing.
	So we're begging him, let's go before a jury of our peers and let's test these ridiculous mandates that he has.
	And so far we've heard nothing.
	So is there a trial date?
	There's nothing.
	And do you have lawyers?
	We have lawyers.
	We've had a lawyer represented so far in one case.
	How are you affording the lawyers?
	Well, the lawyers so far, he's a patriot as well.
	His name is David Hackamfar out of L.A., and he has represented us on the ABC case.
	We've had one hearing so far.
	The hearing went our way to the degree where we had a second day where we had the witnesses lined up, and when they filed this action against us, They basically charged that we were a disorderly house and we were a danger and a risk to the community.
	Well, we begged for our second day of the hearing and it's now been over a month and a half, I think, and they've scheduled nothing.
	Bless your soul.
	So now let's talk about all the fatalities at your restaurant.
	Sure.
	There have been approximately zero.
	Give or take zero.
	Approximately zero, absolutely.
	Right, so we're talking about Basilico's Restaurant in Orange County.
	Basilico's Pasta e Vino.
	Pasta and wine.
	So that's very important because my California listeners should be calling you up making reservations.
	I'm not kidding.
	So the wait staff, the servers as they're now called, are they masked?
	No.
	Nobody's masked.
	We have even taken the next step, which is banning masks.
	So for me, the masks represent...
	Fear, control, surrender.
	It's like the new white flag is surrendered to me.
	And I don't want to see them in the restaurant.
	So we actually took a public stance where we publicly banned them.
	And from that point on, the hatred that came from the left was unreal.
	Yes, we'll talk about that in a moment.
	Unreal, yeah.
	All right, Tony Roman, thank you.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Riduzone is an extremely important product developed by doctors.
	I spoke to them.
	It's very rare that I advertise a supplement.
	It is, of course, safe.
	It is FDA accepted.
	There are two patents.
	It includes OEA. OEA is the molecule our bodies make to tell us we're full.
	That is a blessing.
	You will eat less.
	Even if you didn't lose weight, eating less is a major health benefit.
	Unless you go to Tony Roman's restaurant, which case you should stuff yourself.
	I mean, no, on occasion you should.
	You've got to live, folks.
	But generally speaking, this is a great product.

	Enough possibly to flip Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to Trump according to the newsbusters.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berger.
	Talk to us about this unique...
	Well, my friends, I'm Dennis Prager, and I have a fighter. here.
	You all know my love of courage.
	Without it, there is no chance for good to prevail on Earth.
	Tony Roman is the man.
	He's the owner of Basilico's...
	So let's see.
	Pasta y vino.
	We were even giving you The Godfather.
	I mean...
	By the way, is there something, like, wrong about that?
	Italian guy comes on the show and we play the Godfather theme.
	You know, it's almost like the Italian national anthem these days.
	I'll tell you one thing.
	We're with you on Columbus.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, you know, that's another stand that we took.
	When they tore down the statues, I put up a drink on our menu saying raising our own statue to an Italian hero.
	And again, people's heads exploded.
	And I enjoy doing it.
	So he has kept his restaurant open, which is all I've asked restaurants to do.
	Why are you listening?
	It shows you the power of fear.
	When Tony Roman is not here, because I don't want to take his time, I want to reflect with you some very, very, very big conclusions that I've drawn about...
	Humans, as a result of what I've seen in America the last six months, maybe next hour, and applying it to the terrible situations in Russia and Germany in the mid-20th century.
	All right, anyway, back to Tony Roman.
	So let's see.
	So no masks, and it's meant seriously.
	Do you, has any...
	Anybody that you know gotten seriously ill as a result of their experience in your restaurant?
	There's been nothing traced back to the Basilicos, no contact tracing of anything.
	And your workers have been showing up every day?
	This has actually been one of our healthiest years that we've ever had.
	Right.
	You know, we've had years in the past where an employee would get a flu and we'd make him stay home.
	You know, we would do that anyway, right?
	But yeah, when we took our stand against a mask, that's when the left really went.
	It went insane.
	And the supporters of the tiny dictator, you know, here in our state, especially on the celebrity side, we got hit from everywhere, you know, the shamers.
	And, you know, based on that, we started to receive death threats, people calling to threaten, you know, basically to burn the restaurant down.
	They want to follow me to my car, put a bullet in the back of my head and everything else.
	Yeah, that's the tolerant left that we always talk about.
	Right.
	There's no such thing as tolerant left.
	If you're a tolerant left, you're a liberal.
	That's it.
	So, this has been a success for you?
	Have people...
	Flocked to your restaurant?
	You know, at first, when I took the stand, it wasn't a business thing, like I said.
	I didn't think about the business at all.
	And I tell people who consider taking a stand, you are blessed to be in a position to have a platform of a business, to be on the front lines of this, and take a stand not for your business, but for America, right?
	And so when I took our stand, even my young staff, they thought it was nuts.
	They said, Tony, this is going to be bad for business.
	I didn't care.
	I didn't care at all.
	If my space was a plot of dirt, I'd do the same exact thing that I'm doing now.
	And originally, you know, initially, a lot of people didn't show up.
	I mean, we were empty.
	People would come pick up to-go food and delivery, and that was it.
	But over time, they started showing up.
	But when the hate started coming towards us and that was publicized, the supporters started to come from everywhere.
	I mean, we have people driving from Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Utah, Oregon, Washington, L.A. all the time, Ventura, Sherman Oaks.
	They're coming from everywhere.
	And it's because at the restaurant, it's not, yeah, sure, you come down, you have great food.
	It's Italian home-cooked style food.
	It's my mother's food.
	She created all the recipes.
	But it is a movement now, and people want to be part of the battle.
	People come down there, and you should see the energy.
	It's incredible.
	Patriots everywhere.
	They're swarming the place.
	It is.
	It's exciting.
	I'm meeting great people.
	I'm definitely coming.
	I mean, I just got to finish my book, and as I told you, I publicly announce the day I hand in the book, January 31, the next day, we're coming to you.
	For a celebration.
	What an honor.
	And a living martyr is coming, which is a very big deal.
	I appreciate that.
	Because he's somewhat of a hermit.
	That would be amazing.
	And I want to say something else.
	That was a joke.
	He's not a hermit.
	No, he doesn't look like a hermit.
	No, no, he's not a hermit.
	He looks like a hermit.
	He's not a hermit.
	He's been a gentleman.
	He's been very helpful.
	No kidding.
	He's awesome.
	But I want to say, too, that when business owners feel fear about taking a stand, first of all, if you're going to take the stand, do it fully.
	Do it fully.
	Don't do half measures.
	No restrictions, right?
	None.
	Go back to the pre-margin.
	So here's the question.
	Everybody listening is waiting for this question, including me.
	So here it goes.
	Why are you almost alone among restaurant owners?
	That's what I was going to get to next.
	Because the fear people feel, right?
	And I tell them, when you feel that fear...
	Think about the real heroes.
	Think about the founders of this country who sacrificed everything to gift you the precious freedoms and liberties that you have.
	And think of the soldiers who have fought and died, who have taken real shrapnel and bullets in defense of those things.
	And you're going to surrender all of that over a mask mandate and a pandemic of fear?
	No.
	You have to...
	When you're afraid of losing a liquor license or a business license or receiving a citation or a fine, think about them and honor them.
	Because if you surrender those things, you are dishonoring them.
	And I think if people have that in mind, they will feel the courage that I feel.
	And it's as simple as that.
	God, we are such kindred spirits.
	I've always said how Normandy has affected my life, going to Normandy Beach.
	Seeing thousands of guys lying dead at the age of 20. There's nowhere I'd rather go than there.
	I cannot wait to make that trip.
	I said, wait a minute.
	So I'm going to be scared of Gavin Newsom?
	These guys attack Nazi machine guns?
	And I'm going to be frightened of Fauci and Newsom and Pelosi?
	You've got to be kidding.
	Or Garcetti?
	These are nothings.
	And think about this.
	The lockdown started today.
	The new lockdown, right?
	What is today?
	The anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
	That's right.
	Well said.
	Right?
	Think about that.
	I do think about that.
	That's why you're here.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate that.
	I want the line.
	People should call for reservations, you think?
	Well, we only reserve one table in the restaurant.
	It's like the Godfather table.
	Six or more.
	It's first come, first serve?
	It's first come, first serve.
	But people have a great time waiting outside.
	Basilico's Restaurant, Orange County, California.
	Tony Roman.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	Turning now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	Why I am actually coming to Georgia 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.
	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.
	Why do we keep asking for Dr. Fauci's expertise in this pandemic?
	He's been inconsistent and wrong from the start.
	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.
	And that's the memo.
	Yeah, that's quite a memo.
	Yeah, it's hard not to get discouraged and...
	Dean Martin, right?
	That's terrific.
	He's great.
	My mother loves him.
	He's almost up there with Frank Sinatra.
	He is.
	He's so cool.
	He is terrific.
	He's just too cool.
	I get the chills right now.
	He's amazing.
	We're trying to give Tony Roman a really pleasant experience here at the Dennis Prager Show because we consider him a hero.
	And the Triple G, the Gentle Gentile Giant, has dug up every Italian song he knows.
	What do you mean you're officially out?
	Great music.
	You're out as an Italian?
	I'm out of Italian music.
	Oh, you're out of Italian music.
	Tony Roman owns and runs the restaurant, Basilico's Restaurant in Orange County, which is Pasta e Vino.
	He has no masks, staying open, defying Newsome.
	What about...
	There's another thing that I didn't understand.
	I don't understand why you're so alone in the restaurant business.
	If 10%, just 1 out of 10 restaurants in California said screw you to Newsom, which is a very gentle way of what I would like to say to him.
	The man has ruined so many lives unconscionably.
	But anyway, then it would be over.
	So the fact that you don't have that...
	It's very depressing.
	What about the Chamber of Commerce?
	Why have they not been fighting for you and nail salons and so on?
	You have to fight for yourself.
	I tell everyone, people contact me from all over and ask me, what's your secret?
	I've already explained what the secret is.
	It's easy.
	The principle of your fight.
	You know, the bottom line is people are afraid to lose stuff, and you just can't be afraid to lose it all.
	You have to risk it all in the name of freedom.
	But, yeah, and I tell people this, too.
	They ask me, oh, you know, should I contact my local politician?
	Should I call a lawyer?
	You don't need any of that to fight.
	Just fight.
	At some point, if it's necessary, if you get a citation, you've got to go to court and navigate your way through it, yeah, you can contact an attorney at that point in time.
	But don't wait for someone to protect you.
	Protect yourself.
	Protect your own...
	Freedoms, your own business, your own way of life.
	Just take a stand.
	How has your staff reacted?
	I have a young staff.
	At first, like I said, they were worried about the business aspect of it.
	I said, I really didn't care.
	I didn't care if we lost the business over this.
	They're young guys and they're watching me lead.
	And I think that now they really understand what's at stake.
	And now they're 100%, 1,000% all in.
	I mean, they love it, they take pride in it, and I'm proud of them.
	That's beautiful.
	Well, sir, I really salute you, and I will be seeing you in a matter of weeks.
	And if I could just say one other thing, the real heroes, like I said, are the soldiers that put their uniforms on every day.
	That's exactly right.
	We know, but you're heroic in your way.
	Okay, I'm not going to understand that.
	And my mother.
	I have to say her.
	She's a fighter.
	She's been a fighter my whole life.
	Basilico's Restaurant, Huntington Beach, California.
	God bless her.
	Thank you.
	Go to the restaurant.
	Say it again?
	Say it again.
	You ignore the rage, the anger, the frustration that Americans are feeling right now.
	You do it at your own peril.
	You shouldn't do it.
	You should not belittle or demean the people who are furious 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.
	David Brooks of the New York Times explains that these poor saps, most of whom he says are uneducated, uncredentialed people who don't live in prosperous cities, have retreated to conspiracy theories to explain their misfortune and unhappiness.
	People in this precarious state, he writes, are going to demand stories that will both explain their distrust back to them and also enclose them within a safe community of believers.
	Over at the New Yorker, the editor there, David Remnick, ponders the grave costs of Trump's assault on the press and the truth.

	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, 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.
	At a time when we need leadership and clarity, Newsom has given us hypocrisy and confusion.
	California's voters won't soon forget his shortcomings.

	Washington Post and its history has never endorsed the Republican president.
	The New York Times has not endorsed one since 1956. Tim Groseclose, who wrote the book Left Turn that I often refer to, says that the media were truly fair and balanced.
	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, We're good to go.
	Enough possibly to flip Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to Trump according to the newsbusters.

	The 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.

	As important as any single event in this whole train of facts is the... ...their story of the world.
	The Hugh Hewitt Show.
	I'm not sure what you're doing.
	By the way, I watched the entire speech.
	Didn't expect to.
	But I was extremely curious to see how he would handle the two candidates.
	They've not come out in any vigorous support of charges of fraud.
	They need to get elected.
	It is more important to elect them than to have them...
	Make the fight about fraud in the Georgia election.
	They could do that after they're elected.
	If they're not elected, it is the end of the country as we know it.
	I never talk this way, okay?
	I didn't say this about a Biden victory, and I think it's a calamity.
	But if the Senate goes left, Bolshevik as it is, and I mean that literally, These are no longer liberals.
	These are essentially neo-communists.
	You heard of neo-fascists or neo-Nazis?
	These are neo-communists.
	I'm not sure why neo is necessary, but I thought I would inject it.
	I'm thinking of injections these days.
	The president was adamant about the importance of the vote.
	A Republican in Georgia who doesn't go out and vote?
	For both of these candidates is doing more damage to the country than they could in any other way other than some terror bombing.
	Which would be worse, I acknowledge.
	So, I thought he was effective.
	It's amazing the energy he still has.
	It's never happened.
	His whole thing is unprecedented.
	The amount of love for him, which drives the left crazy.
	Half the country voted for him.
	With passion, I might add.
	Who voted for Biden with passion?
	His wife.
	And Hunter.
	I would say under 10 people voted.
	You know who voted for...
	Passionately for Biden, people who knew they'd be in the government.
	They would be appointed to some position in the government.
	That's it.
	Man never campaigned and won to the extent that he won.
	I'm going to take calls.
	This It's so intense, the amount of things that I want to do here.
	I want to take this one.
	This strikes me as important.
	Granada Hills, California, Maria.
	Hello, Maria.
	Good morning, Dennis Parker.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	You know, with this data, and I've been searching all morning, since about 5 this morning, to find where are these regulations, these rules for ICU overload.
	Typically, hospitals run between 70% and 85% ICU capacity.
	Anyway, by the way, I work in a hospital.
	And to say that you want to keep this down below 85% is really disingenuous because in the literature, in the scientific literature, there's all sorts of information about ICU capabilities, surge capabilities.
	Our hospitals are very flexible.
	You remember the Mercy Ship, St. Vincent's Hospital.
	They went into all of these surge capacities, by the way, that never materialized early on.
	That's right.
	Or the Javits Center in New York.
	Yes, oh yes, absolutely.
	And to say, now we need to lock down.
	That goalpost keeps moving.
	It's so horrible.
	You know, like that poor restaurateur that you just interviewed.
	Everybody should be doing pushback on this.
	That's right.
	Because this does not, the data does not support it, and I'm hoping that by just saying this to the listeners out there, that somebody can find the federal guidelines, the Title 22, the state guidelines, the exact guidelines for surge capacity.
	I have guidance, you know, from medical journals about surge capacity, green, yellow, red, all that kind of a thing, Work around it, and you get your staff together, and you get your PPEs together, and you get your beds together, and for our governor to not even consider that, but say, oh, now we've got this surge that's going on.
	Really?
	Well, you know what?
	The real issue is the press.
	The lying media.
	The fraud known as journalism.
	It's the bombardment.
	People don't listen to Gavin Newsom.
	99% of the people of California wouldn't recognize his voice.
	But they're all subjected to the media, which have an agenda.
	And the agenda is not truth-telling.
	So all I keep reading is exactly what Maria said.
	Oh, the hospitals are overflowing.
	So every time I call people who work in hospitals, like the emergency room doctor in Houston last week, said actually our ICU is under what it was last year.
	We have more capacity this year.
	But nobody gives you the numbers, the data.
	Nobody.
	They give you anecdotes.
	Of a guy who had to make a call to let his mother into an ICU unit or into the hospital.
	I believe the anecdote, but I don't know why it happened.
	I don't know.
	It's a country of 300-something million people.
	you're going to get a lot of anecdotes.
	The hospitals are doing fine.
	I think it's a very big thing.
	Look, the moral scandal is the FDA and the NIH and the others telling you not to take hydroxychloroquine, telling doctors not to prescribe it.
	The amount of blood on the hands of Fauci and the crowd is unprecedented in American history.
	That's what I believe.
	There's no doubt in my mind that it will be proven correct by history.
	The search for a vaccine rather than for a therapeutic has been a moral calamity.
	As I reported last hour, half the firefighters in New York City won't take the vaccine.
	So what's going to happen then?
	Fauci's dream of everyone wearing masks for the foreseeable future.
	I just had a man on who runs a restaurant in defiance of Newsom and the left.
	Death threats.
	Isn't that amazing?
	A guy got death threats for allowing people to come into his restaurant and his workers not to wear masks.
	He got death threats.
	A lot of bad people in America, I'm sorry to say.
	Ninety percent of the bad people in America are on the left.
	There are bad people on the right.
	There's no comparison.
	When people boarded up stores before the election, did they board it up against the right-wing rioters or left-wing rioters?
	Why are such obvious moral distinctions between left and right never made?
	Because the press is on the left.
	So it's scared people into submission.
	One out of ten restaurants in California open up, it would end the issue.
	Thank you.
	But I could only find this guy.
	Did you see, folks, the viral video of the woman who runs a restaurant in California, in Los Angeles, crying through her mask that she's shut down and probably will go out of business?
	But right across the street, there are people dining.
	Table set up for a movie set.
	Right across the street.
	Of course.
	Because Newsom and the Democrats bow down to big money.
	They are the big money financed crowd.
	The contempt for restaurant owners and nail salon owners and all independent businesses on the left is very deep.
	Because it's the only pocket of resistance to leftism in the business world.
	Apple and Nike and Microsoft, they are all left-wing adjuncts.
	So, Hollywood, total pal of the left.
	Total.
	You guys want to shoot a movie and eat outdoors?
	Please, set up your tents.
	Across the street is a business owner.
	No, no, you can go out of business.
	Because it's a big F you from the Democratic Party to small businesses.
	I wonder if this woman voted Democrat.
	God, would I love to know.
	People don't put two and two together.
	Their lives are ruined by the left like inner-city blacks, and then they vote left.
	That's the human condition, my friends.
	I'm here to describe it to you.
	Clarity is our friend.
	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 with 70 million plus people believing he's a real fraud, not just they don't 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?

	California Governor Gavin Newsom has repeatedly called on Californians to come together and make sacrifices to fight COVID-19.
	The request was.
	All right, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	This was too much to share with you.
	Oh, boy.
	Derek, St. Paul, Minnesota.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Actually, it's Dylan, but that's okay.
	I think I have my earpiece in.
	It was hard to hear.
	Well, I am very sorry.
	So you've exonerated our screener from punishment.
	Oh, exactly.
	It was not her fault.
	But anyway, I wanted to call and say, one, a few months ago I called and I told you that I probably am a clone of you because I've never heard anything that comes out of your mouth that I do not agree with 100%.
	And I think afterwards you said, you know, the guy is gay and I wonder how he feels about gay marriage, in my opinion.
	I'll touch on that if you want me to after the comment.
	You are 100% correct.
	There is no journalism in the United States anymore, or very little.
	I find it amazing that we have an entire population of our country that will listen to the media with zero facts, zero anything to support the supposed numerous cases that are rising and the emergency rooms being completely overbooked.
	But yet, with all the thousands of foreign statements we have regarding the election, that is just to be discarded, absolutely no credibility.
	Excellent point.
	It is just unbelievable.
	That's right.
	You know, I would love to, if we had time, I would love to talk to you about same-sex marriage or gay marriage.
	We'll do it.
	Anyway, give me a call some Friday, you know, when it's open lines.
	It's very rare that usually people will say, you know, I agree with you 99% of the time.
	I mean, there are people who disagree with me 99% of the time too.
	But 100% Anyway, thank you.
	He's absolutely right.
	The press is credible because that's all they hear.
	See, we live in a very different world from the left.
	We know what they think.
	They don't know what we think.
	I always mention that.
	We read them, study under them, listen to them.
	They don't read us.
	They don't study under us.
	They don't listen to us.
	You know the routine swipes at talk radio and the New York Times opinion pages?
	Are you familiar with that?
	If Paul Krugman has listened to talk radio for more than two hours in the last decade, I will give a sizable gift to his favorite charity.
	You know, when I think about the talk radio and I think about the intelligence of my colleagues, I mean, you could disagree with us, but this is a pretty serious crowd of people who have given thought to life.
	Not only would I put the intelligence level of the talk show hosts against the New York Times opinion writers, I would say that we are deeper, wiser, clearer, happier than New York Times columnists.
	With a handful, not even a handful, with one or two exceptions.
	Anyway, that's right, the media issue.
	On a completely unrelated issue, I came across this piece from Bleacher Report.
	And do you know, I still can't figure out what he did wrong.
	But it gives you an idea.
	Of why people self-censor now anyone who speaks publicly.
	I don't, by the way.
	I don't.
	But I am not working for NBC Sports.

	NBC Sports color commentator Chris Collinsworth issued an apology after being criticized for remarks about female football fans.
	During Wednesday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, Collinsworth, a former NFL wide receiver, was discussing how strong the sports fandom was in Pittsburgh when he made a comment that drew some viewers' ire.
	Now listen to what he said.
	I have read it now four times.
	An offense.
	Here is what he said.
	Everybody's a fan.
	Talking about the Pittsburgh fans.
	Everybody's a fan, in particular the ladies that I met.
	They have really specific questions about the game, and I'm like, wow, you're just blown away by how strong the fans are here in this town.
	So, I'm trying to think, what did he say that's wrong?
	Apparently, I think, I still am not sure.
	Apparently, what he said that's wrong is that he was blown away by how the women fans have really specific questions about the game, and I'm like, wow.
	In other words, he didn't expect such knowledge of football from female fans.
	And the man was excoriated.
	So, of course, he issued an apology, which is a tragedy.
	Just a tragedy.
	He should have said, I said nothing wrong.
	I do not apologize.
	This is what he said.
	Today on our broadcast, I made reference to a couple of women that I met in Pittsburgh who so impressed me with their football knowledge that I wanted to tell this story on the air.
	I know the way I phrased it, insulted many.
	Wow.
	Insulted many.
	It was a straight-out compliment.
	I'm so sorry.
	What I intended as a compliment to the fans of Pittsburgh became an insult.
	I'm sick about insulting any fan, but especially female fans and journalists.
	Huh?
	He insulted journalists?
	I know firsthand how much harder they have to work than any of us in this industry.
	I was wrong, and I deeply apologize.
	It's really pathetic.
	So listen, I went to his website, or his Twitter site, I should say.
	Listen to the first comment.
	The first comment under his apology, Morgan McAdoo.
	He's got a women's picture.
	I'm one of those ladies who is very knowledgeable about football.
	The Steelers have the largest female fan base.
	We are smart as hell and love our Steelers.
	No matter how you said it, it was tone deaf.
	It's 2020.
	This shouldn't even be a statement that needed to be made.
	It was, yep.
	He should never have said that there was a wow in how much football the women knew.
	Because Why are they so angry?
	I'll tell you why.
	They were brainwashed in college, and now earlier, to believe that any distinction made between men and women is inherently evil.
	That's why we couldn't even have hurricanes named after women.
	Now there are hurricanes named after men.
	They made the change.
	Lest there be a distinction, hurricanes are female.
	Now, I will explain further.

	Talk to us about this unique pardon, which the president called a pardon of innocence.

	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.
	Very, very powerful.
	It should not have ever happened to me, should never happen to any American citizen who decides to step into the political environment and challenge the You know, 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 Comey, Sally Yates, then the Deputy AG, and Susan Rice, who was the National Security Advisor at the time.
	I think 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 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 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.

	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	I was reading to you Chris Collinsworth, NBC football color commentator.
	And he was blown away, he said, by the knowledge of Pittsburgh Steelers female fans about the level of questions they had about the sport.
	Had to issue an abject apology.
	I'm surprised he didn't have to slit his wrists.
	And donate blood to the National Organization for Women.
	So you should say his abject apology for being impressed with how much football Pittsburgh Steel or female fans knew.
	But that implies that male fans know more about football, in Pittsburgh at least, than female fans.
	Anybody willing to take a bet?
	I'll bet.
	I only bet when I know I'm right, because I have no gambling instinct.
	Want to bet that males know more about football than females in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, San Francisco, Tuscaloosa, New York, Seattle, Cheyenne, Wyoming?
	Want to bet?
	All these people who wrote in there, all these offended women, let's take a bet.
	Let's just randomly pick up a thousand people in the United States, random, off the street.
	And ask them questions about football.
	See if the women do as well as the men.
	Are there a lot of knowledgeable female fans?
	They know a hell of a lot more than I do.
	I fully acknowledge it.
	I'd flunk the test.
	I admit it.
	Did you ever hear the concept of football widow?
	Why isn't there football widowers?
	Football widow is the woman who loses her husband for a couple of hours or whatever time it is on Sundays because he's watching now Monday Night Football.
	Because she lost him to football.
	How many husbands lose their wives to football?
	I can't talk to my wife now.
	She's busy watching the Steelers.
	The major victim of the left is truth.
	You can't tell the truth about anything that is discomforting.
	Anything.
	Anything.
	What is it that Margaret Thatcher said?
	The facts of life are conservative.
	And she and the left loathes the facts of life.
	The comments are just everything.
	He should lose his job.
	Why does he think women...
	This is something someone wrote.
	Why does he think women are inferior to men?
	So let me understand.
	This is a moron writing.
	The number of morons in this country is equal almost to the number of college graduates.
	He said women are inferior.
	Wait a minute.
	So if you know less about football, you're an inferior human?
	Then I am truly, I am subhuman.
	I know what a first down is.
	I know what a Hail Mary is.
	I know what a punt is.
	I know...
	I mean, I know basic rules, and that's it.
	I know no strategy, nothing.
	I feel bad at acknowledging this.
	I'm not sure I know what a tight end is.
	And I don't even want to go there.
	But, did you like that, Sean?
	You missed that great line.
	Oh, I heard it.
	Okay, fine.
	I see.
	You were confirming you heard it.
	So am I inferior?
	Is a man who doesn't know football strategy, is he an inferior human being?
	I know hockey strategy.
	I guess that elevates me.
	This is what you get.
	This isn't an apology.
	This is another one from another woman commenting on his Twitter site, Twitter page.
	This is pretty much just reiterating what you said yesterday in a different way.
	And you pretty much slammed Pittsburgh fans, too.
	Wow.
	What is it?
	It's not white fragility.
	That's the irony.
	It's left-wing fragility.
	There is real fragility in this country, and it isn't white.
	It's left.
	All right, y'all.
	I want to see something here, because this is important.
	Israel in Brooklyn.
	Hi.
	Yeah, hi, Dennis.
	Yes, sir.
	I want to say something, piggybacking on what Gallagher said.
	It is so important for people to come out in Georgia and vote, and no one should give up.
	I hate it.
	I hate having to hear some people mentioning something about boycotting the vote.
	It's the worst thing to do.
	What could happen in Georgia could save the country, and I'll tell you why.
	Yes, I agree with you.
	We've got to take a break, and I agree with you.
	You can almost give up on the human race if there are people out of some annoyance will not vote for the two Republicans in Georgia.
	Relief Factor is good news.

	Yeah, that's...
	We don't have enough time in your show to talk about the whole...
	We don't probably have enough time in this week.
	Here's what I would just say to synthesize it.
	My whole life in the military, and for those that have worked around me and know me...
	I, you know, I'm one of these guys that comes into an organization and looks at processes, looks at procedures, looks at the leadership, looks at how we train people, and really tries to improve and make things, you know, it's not just make things, you know, more efficient, but it's also trying to solve the problems for the people in the field.
	And I was one that came into Washington, D.C. I didn't get to Washington, D.C. until I was a two-star.
	I never served.
	I served as a field soldier.
	Served in infantry divisions, in airborne divisions, in special operations, in other tactical and strategic commands, too, and served in the intelligence community.
	All the way up to the director of one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world, the Defense Intelligence Agency, as well as I served as the Assistant Director of National Intelligence for partner engagement under James Clapper for a year.
	So I say all that because what I learned is that the efficiency, the effectiveness, the ability of the intelligence community Does not function well inside of Washington, D.C. Where it functions best is in the field, and that's where our best people are.
	What we find is everybody stares at their navel in Washington, D.C., and it's what we call, you're very familiar with this, the circular reporting.

	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.

	Hi.
	Yes, I'm here.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	I wanted to call you the last month or two.
	I'm wondering, can you tell me how to get the hydroxychloroquine?
	Yes, here it goes.
	So try to remember this.

	You contact them, and they will find a doctor who is responsible.
	I consider the doctors who have listened to the FDA to be a herd-like group, and they have blood on their hands, in my opinion.
	They may be the sweetest, kindest doctors.
	I fully acknowledge that.
	I can chew gum and walk at the same time.

	That is the tragedy of damage.
	It isn't cruel people alone who do damage.
	It's already up.
	It's up at the website.
	good.
	I've had doctors who have been so, called this program, who have been so angry, and they have just shamed themselves, in my belief, just as they think I've shamed myself.
	Fine.
	History will judge.
	The number of people who are dead because doctors would not give them, because the FDA did not want doctors to give people hydroxychloroquine and zinc early on.
	There are so many dead Americans as a result of that that I could cry.
	I really do.
	I have to contain my anger at the medical profession, which has disgraced itself because it has been infected by the left, just as every other profession has.
	Everything the left touches, it ruins, including science.
	That's the latest victim of the left.
	The left is a tsunami of destruction.
	Okay?
	It builds nothing.
	It only destroys.
	It builds power for its members.
	That's all it does.
	It's destroying America.
	It destroys the reputations of the Washingtons and the Lincolns.
	It destroys music and art.
	It destroys everything.
	Everything.
	I don't know where it comes from.
	I really don't.
	Why people love tearing down.
	I guess because there's nothing inside of them.
	The nothings hate the somethings.
	Anyway, you can get your HCQ now.
	Back to Israel and Brooklyn.
	Please be brief, because I think we all know how important the Georgia vote is, but go ahead.
	Okay, to the extent that I was looking for flights, I want to go to Georgia, if it's legal, to be a monitor over the vote count there.
	But that aside, I want to tell you one of two things that can happen if conservatives go out to vote in unprecedented numbers.
	And I think the last day to register is today, I'm pretty sure.
	But that aside, what can happen is if they put so much pressure on the Democrat fraud machine there in Georgia, they will have to, because they're desperate, they know they need the Senate, they will resort To desperate measures to commit even a larger extent of fraud, they will be pulling suitcases out of the air.
	And that is much more prone to be caught.
	It's much easier to catch such fraud.
	That's a good point.
	I've got to leave you with that because of time, but yes.
	Look, it all depends.
	There's a level of fraud that cannot overcome a vast turnout of Republicans.
	End of issue.
	If you give a damn about America, you don't even have to love it.
	If you just give a damn about it, you have to vote for a Republican in Georgia.
	I don't care if you love the president, hate the president, I don't care.
	If you believe there's fraud, don't believe there's fraud.
	A Democratic Senate...
	It is over.
	They acknowledge Schumer, who has started life as a liberal, but has wimped his way over to the left because that's where the wind is blowing in the Democratic Party.
	If we get the Senate, we will change America.
	Yeah, I don't want to change America.
	Okay?
	Morons like him don't understand that they're tampering with something spectacularly successful in human history.
	Because I compare America...
	Not to utopian dreams of John Lennon's Imagine.
	That's really the anthem of the left Imagine.

	Hi.
	I thought you broke up for a second.
	I want to comment on the gentleman that has a restaurant in Orange County.
	And I'm fuming.
	It's like the longer I waited to talk to you, the madder I'm getting.
	And one of my points is this virtue concept that he has about staying open and fighting City Hall and the state.
	There's already a lot of restaurants that are out of business.
	A lot of these restaurants are owned by immigrants.
	Restaurants in general, they only have two weeks to 30 days worth of money.
	So are you angry at the man or at the governor?
	I mean, I'm angry at his concept that he talked about the men storming Normandy Beach.
	It's like, you know, these guys are brave, and we have to be brave like the guys that stormed Normandy Beach.
	My father was in Normandy.
	My father was wounded four times.
	And in nine months, he was wounded four times.
	I don't understand.
	Sorry, sir.
	You've spoken a long time, and I have no idea the point you're making.
	So either make your point, or I have to say goodbye.
	Okay.
	My point is, he wants...
	People, restaurant owners, to join in with him.
	That's correct.
	What's wrong with that?
	Tell me what's wrong with it, because you've spoken for two minutes, and nobody here knows what you want to say.

	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, 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.
	At a time when we need leadership and clarity, Newsom has given us hypocrisy and confusion.

	The gentleman I was just talking to hung up even though I asked him to stay on and make his point.
	The four people here, one by IM, not one of us understood the point that the gentleman wanted to make.
	We're just sitting confused.
	There is an art to being called on to speak.
	Out of nowhere, you know, you're sitting there, you don't know when you'll be called.
	I don't even know when I'll call on you.
	And then, it's a tough thing actually to be coherent as a caller to a talk show.
	It's a challenge.
	You're a talk show host for the minute or so that you have.
	So the key, and this is the beauty of it, I hope that this gentleman understands he didn't have a point.
	He might have one, but he didn't make it.
	That he would speak that long, and then I still don't know what annoyed him about the restaurant owner.
	He's angry about Governor Newsom putting all these restaurant owners out of business.
	Then he says he's also angry at this man, and I don't know why.
	Anyway, the man that I had on last hour, we're going to go to his restaurant, Basilico's, in Huntington Beach, California.
	He's open.

	He's defied the authorities.
	The lack of defiance of the authorities in this country has been one of the most upsetting realizations that I've encountered in my adult life.

	The Russians who did not defy Stalin, the Germans who did not defy Hitler, I have more understanding of them now.
	Because any defiance of Hitler, the Gestapo came.
	Any defiance of Stalin, the NKVD is the predecessor to the KGB, would come.
	There's no KGB, NKVD, Gestapo in the United States.
	If people aren't going to resist the tyranny of their democratic governors with virtually no penalty, if the American people will act like sheep, snitch on each other, then I have a better understanding of the sheep-like, herd-like, behavior of people in totalitarian states.
	So there you go.
	That's one of the conclusions that I have drawn from the weakness and sheep-like behavior of doctors and teachers and regular folk.

	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.

	And so now we are experiencing a two-front war.
	We are now fighting in the courts and the state legislatures, and we are now fighting in Georgia.
	Both are important.
	Because if we lose in the courts and if we lose in the state legislatures, then all of a sudden we are going to look around the landscape and say, I wish we would have took Georgia a little bit more seriously.
	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.
	With the American people.
	They might be popular with groups of people that don't own property.
	They might be popular with ruling class members or people that live in centralized urban environments.
	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 they didn't vote for him, but that he's a fraud, that 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?

	Dennis Prager You probably are aware of the 1619 or 1620 project.
	It's 1619, but the name of the book is 1620. So that's why I'm using both terms.
	But anyway, this is the 1619 project of the New York Times, which won a Pulitzer Prize, which tells you a great deal about the Pulitzer Prize Committee at this time.
	Although they have a very checkered moral past, they gave a Pulitzer Prize in 1932 to a New York Times reporter who denied that the Stalin regime was starving, intentionally starving Ukrainians, which they did to the tune of about 5 million deaths.
	So, anyway, that is now going to be taught.
	To your kids in schools, the thousands of schools in the United States, America was not founded in 1776. It was founded in 1619 when the first black slave came to the United States.
	That America had its revolution in order to preserve slavery.
	Everything is slavery.
	That's the American past, and racism is the American present.
	That's what your kid is going to learn in school.
	Well, an important scholar has written a refutation, a short but powerful book, titled 1620, A Critical Response to the 1619 Project.
	It's up at DennisPrager.com.
	The author is the president of the National Association of Scholars, Peter Wood.
	The NAS is a great group of scholars who are not part of the herd.
	By definition, people who are not part of a herd are in a minority.
	Otherwise, they'd be in the herd.
	Peter Wood, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	It's nice of you to have me.
	Where do you live, by the way?
	Where am I talking to?
	I live and work in New York City.
	You're talking to me in my office on Madison Avenue, which is the boarded-up center of town.
	It's still boarded up?
	Well, parts of it are.
	I can look out my window here and see storefronts that are boarded up and places that are closed and will never reopen.
	I always ask people who are not on the left and who live in New York City, why do you live there?
	Well, I live here because I moved the National Association of Scholars here 10 years ago in order to be closer to both the...
	News outlets and to transportation.
	We were in Princeton before.
	And it has turned out to be a good place for the National Association of Scholars to operate.
	There are, believe it or not, quite a few conservative scholars in the universities in New York area, and I've made good friends here.
	It seems to me to be a commodious place to work as long as one doesn't get too bothered by the That was well said, sir.
	I was waiting for the punchline.
	Anyway, it's a delight.
	Getting to your book in one moment, explain to people what the National Association of Scholars is.
	Well, we're a membership organization of scholars, as the name suggests.
	We were started back in the mid-1980s when the camel's nose of political correctness was getting...
	Well under the flap of the tent, and there were scholars at the time, most of them Democrats, liberals, who just thought that these radicals needed a gentle push away and things would get better.
	That hypothesis turned out not to be true, and we found ourselves with an agenda which at the time was considered liberal and soon became defined as conservative and then far-right-wing, all without our changing our We're in favor of intellectual freedom and teaching a curriculum that leads to students becoming pretty well enlightened citizens of a self-governing republic.
	We favor intellectual exchange and a willingness to tolerate views that disagree with your own.
	You proceed with arguments by means of rational argument and good evidence.
	Everything is open to further discussion until we reach an agreement as to what the fundamentals are.
	How many members do you have?
	At this moment we have about 3,450.
	Are they all academics?
	No, about 92 or 3% of them are academics and we have a certain number of people who are Just strong supporters of the car.
	Alright, so that means, forgive me for interrupting, I just want to get you to the book as soon as I can, but I want to understand this.
	About 90% of the 3,000 members are academics?
	Yes.
	So that's about 2,500 college, is it all college academics?
	Colleges, universities, yes.
	Yes, not high school teachers or elementary school teachers.
	So that's the distinction I was drawing.
	So there are literally thousands of professors who are signed up with an organization that is for academic openness?
	Yes.
	Astonishing, isn't it?
	Yes.
	In fact, if there were a word stronger than astonishing, I would use that.
	Well, the hitch here is that when they join, we promise that we will not divulge their identity publicly.
	Tell me that that is not a sign of our times.
	It is very much a sign of our times.
	There are many others who say they would join us, but that they dare not for fear that someone will figure it out.
	I'm quiet because I'm letting this terrible realization sink in.
	That in the United States of America in the year 2020, thousands of professors are afraid to have their name listed in an organization of scholars of thousands of other scholars devoted to academic freedom.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	Well, okay.
	It reconfirms my view of the left and it's very...
	It's very frightening.
	Okay, so now tell my listeners in a nutshell what the New York Times 1619 thesis is.
	The thesis is that American slavery began in August of 1619, and at that moment America traduced its ideals.
	It became a hypocrite because it favored a kind of freedom for white people.
	No freedom for black people.
	That founding scene of racism became institutionalized, and every important thing in American history since then has come either by way of attempting to deepen and further the oppression of black people or to defend it against the threats of emancipation of one form or another.
	This thesis runs, therefore, from 1619 to the present, that's 400 years, now 401 years, and it points to a view that America is a rotten place from beginning to end and needs to be taken down.
	So it's basically an I hate America screed dressed up as a revision of American history.
	Wow.
	And did I correctly state the thesis about the American Revolution?
	Yes, you did.
	That may well be the most outrageous claim of all, many outrageous claims in the document.
	This was Nicole Hannah-Jones, the editor and chief essayist in the volume of 10 essays, and she says that the American Revolution was fought in large part By Americans who were afraid that the British Crown was going to end slavery in the colonies, and therefore we needed to throw off the yoke of King George in order to continue with slavery.
	Now, I feel any time I state the thesis, I must immediately point out to any listeners who find a shred of credibility to that.
	But we know why the American Revolution was fought.
	Courtesy of Thomas Jefferson, he gave an exhaustive list of the grievances that Americans had against the British Crown.
	We call that the Declaration of Independence.
	But even if you think that he was hiding something, there were plenty of colonial newspapers.
	Historians have come through them all relentlessly over the years.
	There is no mention in any colonial newspaper that Americans feared the abolition of slavery.
	We also have considerable other documents, personal letters, diaries, any manner of legal acts that were passed.
	Nowhere in that period does this idea find expression at all.
	So it's a preposterous claim.
	It had nothing to do with the American Revolution.
	And the New York Times not only put it forward, but has defended it, at least defended it very strongly for about eight months.
	We'll continue in a moment, Peter Wood.
	It's a very, very important book.
	It's short and direct.
	1620, a critical response to the 1619 Project.
	The book is up at my website.

	And I think a lot of people are kind of saying, look...

	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.

	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 all I can say is, if there is a better advertisement for the right-wing, I don't know what it is.
	When the left calls for openness, right wing, they are engaging in one of their rare moments of honesty.
	Peter Wood is author of a refutation of this pernicious doctrine, the 1619 Project, developed by the people who loathe this country at the New York Times.
	DennisPrager.com, and it is a relatively short book, 228 pages or so, 229 exactly.
	1620, A Critical Response to the 1619 Project.
	It's the sort of thing that's worth memorizing.
	Because if you have kids or grandkids, nephews or nieces at college, even in high school now, this is what they're learning.
	Talking about that, Peter Wood, And I know your next book is Why I Love Living in Manhattan, is that correct?
	I hadn't thought about it yet, but that's a great idea.
	So, the high schools, is this now normative in high schools?
	It's hard to say it's in high schools.
	We know because the inside last page of the 1619 Project It was a declaration by the Pulitzer Center that it was rolling this thing out as a curriculum suitable for every grade level from kindergarten through senior year.
	And they have made good on that.
	So any teacher in the U.S. who wants to teach it can get free material to proceed.
	It's adaptable easily to teaching by Zoom or online.
	And early on, the Pulitzer folks said they had signed up 4,000 teachers to teach it.
	Various school districts, including Chicago and Buffalo, formally adopted it as part of how they would teach American history.
	And then they went silent.
	So we know that the Times has now spent many millions of dollars promoting this.
	They had a Super Bowl advertisement.
	Many full-page declarations of its importance.
	So it wasn't just a one-off, oh, here's something you might teach.
	It has become a promotional campaign to get it into the nation's schools.
	And at this stage, it's a bit hard to say how deeply it's penetrated.
	But given the readiness of many American teachers to embrace things like Howard's Inn, one assumes that it's everywhere now.
	You mentioned that there was a Super Bowl ad taken out by the New York Times.
	What is that, a half a million dollars?
	Well, maybe more.
	It's a full 60-second ad.
	So I'm asking my producer.
	What do you think?
	I think it's close to $2 million.
	Close to $2 million.
	Okay.
	So, did you see the ad?
	I didn't know about this.
	I didn't see the Super Bowl, but the ad was then posted by the New York Times online.
	So what was the point to get schools to adopt it?
	It doesn't say that it's selling it to schools.
	It simply presents a movie star reciting some of the lines from the 1619 Project and creating a kind of romantic myth of...
	How things began, and I think the notion really is to create a sense of legitimacy around the basic thesis that slavery began in 1619, and here is the world in which we now live.
	It's well worth looking up.
	I haven't actually seen if it's still there.
	It's been a few months since I last looked at it.
	It's a highly professional...
	No, I'm sure it is.
	By the way, it's $5 million.
	I just learned that.
	It's $5 million.
	For 30 seconds, it's $5 million, and this is 60 seconds, so it's probably $10 million or $8 million.
	Okay, anyway, it's a fortune of money, but it means nothing.
	They're dedicated to smearing America, and if it costs $8 million, what's the difference?
	So, I... It struck me as soon as you said it.
	I didn't know it.
	I will go and watch it right after the show today.
	And here's a question that is not related specifically to the 1619 Project.
	But if somebody were to raise five or eight million dollars and ask the Super Bowl people to...
	Use their ad, and that ad would be, the 1619 Project is a lie.
	Here are all these liberal professors saying it is a lie.
	You think that they would allow it?
	No, that would be an act of racism and white supremacy.
	They would never allow that.
	Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
	Talking about the liberal professors, The first refutations that I read were, in fact, from Sean Wilentz, a Trump-hating liberal Democrat at Princeton.
	Have liberal professors like him come out against this?
	He's probably the most liberal of the professors have come out against it, but there have been about 25, 30...
	Brand-name professors, important people in the field of history who have come out against it.
	I would say all of them are to some degree on the left, and one way to register that is that their chosen vehicle for expressing their discontent was the World Socialist Daily.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	It was a very, very long, I know.
	I didn't quite understand.
	Oh, yes, I remember why they would do this.
	They see America's awfulness in economic terms, not racial terms.
	Exactly.
	They want to focus on the class struggle, and they view this as descent into identity politics.
	This is sort of like a Trotskyite-Stalin debate.
	Exactly.
	You got it.
	I did get it.
	I'm enjoying talking to you.
	I want to remind everybody, 1620, a critical response to the 1619 Project, which is just part of the America, is defined solely by its slavery and its racism.
	That is its raison d'etre, the reason for being.
	And you, sir, refute it.
	Are there any other books you've written?
	I wrote a book 20 years ago titled Diversity, the Invention of a Concept, which is probably who I'm best known for, which traced how the word diversity and its current meaning got launched into our national life in 1978 and the Bakke decision and how it spread from there.
	And I wrote a book about 10 or 15 years ago titled Be in the Mouth, Anger in America Now, which traced the Our sort of cultural decision to make anger a positive thing.

	Do you understand that?
	She cannot...
	Serve people food.
	The video of her is up at DennisPrager.com.
	She cannot serve food outdoors, but the movie set, filming a movie, all the people making the movie can.
	They're set up to dine.
	She has pictures of it.
	You will see it on the video.

	I'm thinking, if these people, if these almost trillionaires, which is almost inconceivable, But hundreds of billions of dollars that they have.
	They want to give it away.
	I think that's great.
	Why not do something that...
	I'm not asking them to give it to conservative causes.
	But don't give it to left-wing causes.
	Give it to Alzheimer's research.
	Cancer research.
	Right?
	Why don't they?
	Why is it sexier to fund Black Lives Matter, an America-hating organization, a racial fraud?
	Why is that okay and held in esteem, but not if you give to the ALS Foundation, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease?
	Why?
	Isn't that sick?
	Isn't there something sick about that?

	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, 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.
	At a time when we need leadership and clarity, Newsom has given us hypocrisy and confusion.
	California's voters won't soon forget his shortcomings.

	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.

	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% said 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.

	And I was reading to you about the San Diego teachers.
	San Diego Unified School District begins the sessions with instructors telling the faculty members that they will experience guilt, anger, apathy, and closed-mindedness because of their white fragility.
	According to leaked documents obtained by journalist Christopher F. Ruffo.
	He's a great journalist.
	He's with City Journal.
	During the training, the teachers are taught about land acknowledgement and asked to accept that the U.S. was established on stolen Native American land.
	They also learn about the teachings of white fragility, author Robin DiAngelo.
	And Be Anti-Racist, a journal for awareness, reflection, and action, author Ibram X. Kendi.
	After watching clips of the two authors, the trainers tell the group, you are racist, and upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies.
	The group is challenged to become anti-racist in the classroom, as well as confront and examine their white privilege.
	And quote to each other's to see their privilege, unquote.
	Earlier this year, the district underwent a major overhaul to its grading system as a part of a larger effort to combat racial discrimination.
	The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
	Data had revealed that there were significant disparities between the percentage of white and minority students who received D or F grades in the first semester.
	Of the last school year.
	While white students made up 7% of all D or F grades, black students accounted for about 20%, and Hispanic students received about 23%, the paper reported.
	In an effort to prevent discrimination, the school board voted to eliminate non-academic factors like late work and classroom behavior in a student's grade.
	Well, it's not as bad as what they're doing in, what was it?
	It was an article you sent me.
	Oh, the new Untouchables, is that it?
	Yeah.
	Like Christopher Ruffo, as it happens.
	In October, the Seattle City Council floated legislation to provide an exemption from prosecution for misdemeanor crimes for any citizen who suffers from poverty.
	Homelessness, addiction, or mental illness.
	You with me, folks?
	An exemption from prosecution.
	If you have any of those, if you live in poverty, if you're poor, you're not prosecuted.
	Under the proposed ordinance, courts would have to dismiss all so-called crimes of poverty, which according to the city's former public safety advisor, Would cover more than 90% of all misdemeanor cases citywide.
	In effect, the legislation would create a new class of untouchables, protected from consequences by the city's power brokers.
	The poor, in the logic of Seattle's progressive elites, are thus forced to commit crimes, including violent crimes, to secure their very existence.
	Therefore, as society is the perpetrator of this inequality, the crimes of the poor must be forgiven.
	The crimes are transformed into an expression of social justice.
	Right.
	The impact?
	In 2019, the Seattle Police Department reported 25,000 thefts.
	26,000.
	I'm rounding them off.
	8,000 assaults, so get with me, 26,000 thefts, 8,400 assaults, 6,400 property offenses, 4,000 frauds, 4,000 trespasses, and 1,600 narcotics violations.
	That's 72% of all reported crimes.
	If the ordinance passes, nearly all these crimes would be permitted under law.
	How do you like that?
	This is the ultimate...
	If you have followed me over the years, none of this should surprise.
	The left does not blame people for their evil unless the people are conservative.
	Then they are blamed for non-evil, just blamed.
	But if you are not conservative, you are not blamed.
	Society is the reason people commit crimes, not the individual.
	We're basically good.
	Society has screwed us up.
	But of course, if people were basically good, why would society be so awful?
	They've never answered that question, but it doesn't matter.
	What matters is that you blame or don't blame people.
	If a poor person commits an assault, I blame the poor person.
	One of the reasons that the Bible is a greater supplier of wisdom than the left.
	The Bible has a law.
	Do not favor the poor man in judgment.
	This is a direct result.
	This is a direct opposition.
	You know, I should do that.
	I always say that.
	I do it sometimes.
	I need to make a list of left-wing positions and the opposite position.
	In the Bible.
	You can infer all of that from my Bible commentary, The Rational Bible, which if you listen to my show and appreciate what I say, I don't know why you wouldn't get it.
	Two volumes are out.
	The third volume is coming out next June.
	The first five books of the Bible, The Rational Bible.
	Do not favor the poor in judgment.
	The left doesn't agree.
	Trending now on the Larry Elder show.
	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, I'm sorry, wrong, we retract this.
	What's going on?
	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.
	And I think, you know, this is the case with COVID. You know, Larry, there only have been, what, 274,000 deaths in the U.S. I
	think the author Genevieve Bryant did a very good job of really...
	Telling the truth, just like Scott Atlas, in many cases who just resigned as the president's advisor on the pandemic, had a lot of good information.
	But the mainstream media and public health officials seem to have the idea that they have to scare people to death and really come up with a lot of untruths when a lot of the lockdowns and things are destroying our economy, destroying people's health.

	Why did they have to take you down, Mike Flynn?
	Yeah, that's...
	We don't have enough time in your show to talk about the whole...
	We don't probably have enough time in this week.
	Here's what I would just say to synthesize it.
	My whole life in the military, and for those that worked around me and know me, I'm one of these guys that comes into an organization and looks at processes, looks at procedures, looks at the leadership, looks at how we train people, and really tries to improve and make things, you know, it's not just make things more efficient, but it's also trying to solve The problems for the people in the field.
	And I was one that came into Washington, D.C. I didn't get to Washington, D.C. until I was a two-star.
	I never served.
	I served in the, you know, as a field soldier.
	Served, you know, in infantry divisions, in airborne divisions, in special operations, you know, in other tactical and strategic commands, too, and served in the intelligence community.
	All the way up to the director of one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world, the Defense Intelligence Agency, as well as I served as the Assistant Director of National Intelligence for partner engagement under James Clacka for a year.
	So I say all that because what I learned is that...
	Okay, everybody.
	The shows do go fast.
	I will acknowledge that.
	That's a good sign, I suppose.
	Although, it's a little odd, because 2020 has gone very fast, and it's been miserable.
	Time flies when you're having a good time, is true, and I don't know if time doesn't fly when you're having a bad time.
	It's been odd.
	The months have just morphed into the next month.
	Haven't they, in the course of this year?
	Can you think of anything different in May than in June or June than in July other than the weather?
	Right, right.
	It feels like it's going slow, but it doesn't.
	The speed has been warp speed.
	Well, I live in California, and I beg my fellow Californians to do everything you can to violate everything that Governor Newsom says.
	The battle here has nothing to do...
	They claim the mantle of science.
	If they cared about science, they would be giving people hydroxychloroquine and zinc.
	They have contempt for science.
	They just love scientists who agree with them.
	Scientists who will grant them power.
	To control your life.
	Not their own.
	Nancy Pelosi will of course go maskless into a hair salon that's closed.
	Newsom will dine with a prohibited number of people indoors.
	But even if they weren't phonies, even if they were sincere, it's irrelevant.
	Sincere people do as much damage as phonies.
	This notion of, you know, they're really a nice guy is irrelevant.
	It's just completely irrelevant.
	Do whatever you can to violate their prohibitions.
	Last hour I had on, or it was the first hour of the show, a man who's running a restaurant in Huntington Beach, California.
	It's been open the whole time.
	He's been served notice and he stays open.
	There are tens of thousands, maybe 100,000 restaurants, probably more, in California.
	He's the only one I know of who's defying the left.
	See, they hide behind science.
	They always have some cause that enables them to have power over people.
	You want to do something that will make you feel good?
	Goodness makes you feel good.
	Give to the banner at my website for the program, The Angel Tree, where they send kids who have a parent in prison a gift and a note from their parent and a Bible.
	Please donate.

	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.

	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 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 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 Council 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 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.
