And I have been meeting with people here as well in fundraisers for PragerU.
One of the great perks of my work is meeting wonderful people.
Very, very few people get to do that.
It is a sadness in my life on behalf of others that most wonderful people don't get to meet a lot of wonderful people.
How can you?
Why do you put out an ad?
If you're a fine human being and have good values, please contact me.
That's one of the reasons, by the way, that we have a lot of get-togethers that I organize, PragerU, cruises, trips to Israel, where you can meet other wonderful people.
It's a very big source of strength in my life, meeting such people.
So here I am in Florida, where you can actually enter a restaurant.
I'll tell you how I feel, and it's unbelievable that I'm saying this.
I am incredulous about what I am about to say myself.
The last time I felt this way, coming to Florida from California, was when I was in my 20s.
I visited communist countries a great deal, and I would go north-south or south-north.
Poland, to Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and East Germany.
And I would take a break, because it was so stifling to be in a communist country.
So I'd take a break, and in the middle, whether I went south, north, or north-south, I would stop in Vienna.
What a sense of relief.
Ah, freedom.
It's so wonderful.
And I'm not making an exact comparison, but I am emoting.
I am offering you an emotion that coming to Florida from California, I felt as I did when I went to Austria, to Vienna, from the communist countries of Eastern Europe.
I'll give you another analogy that I gave in my talk last night to some people in Jupiter, Florida.
And that was, people come over to me, not so much now because there's so little flying compared to the last years.
So I would be at an airport, there are two airports at least, just about every week of the year.
People would come over to me, no matter where in the country, they'd come over, and very often people would come over and they would whisper, just, you know, I'll tell you I'm a conservative, or they'd look around and they'd go, I'm a Trump supporter.
And I'll tell you of another emotion that I had when that took place, that when I met with dissidents, In the Soviet Union, they would come over to me and whisper to me, you know, I hate communism or I hate the regime.
And they would look around before they talked to me.
See, communism, fascism are not unique to Germans.
They're not unique to Russians or North Koreans.
The human condition is such that people are enticed by evil.
Because it never says, we're evil.
It doesn't make an announcement, we're evil.
So they're enticed by something else into that evil.
That's the human condition.
And especially good, they announce, we will stifle all opponents.
Because what was an opponent called in a communist country?
A fascist.
What was Donald Trump called?
The biggest opponent the left has had in my lifetime.
A fascist.
That's what the left does.
And what do they call conservative...
Exactly what communists have done.
So the student thinks, oh, I don't want a fascist on my campus.
They don't even know what a fascist is, but they know it's bad.
So, people are enticed by communism, call it progressivism, call it leftism, call it whatever you like, Bolshevism.
They are enticed because it says, oh, listen, we're not against free speech, we're against hate speech.
And the 40% of you...
...they aren't united.
Because it says, we're all, listen, we're not against free speech, we're against free speech.
And the 40% of you... ...that my neighbor can't be with such little enthusiasm for his 10-20 year.
He knew the status quo.
Because he knew the fix was it.
For 16...
I mean, I think it's 76% of Republicans believe there was a fact.
It's the... ...that my neighbor can't be with such little people.
I think it's a good thing.
I mean, I think it's a good thing.
The Richer Richer.
Google and Facebook are more powerful than ever before.
Normal people have had their voice suppressed.
Anywhere between 250 to 275 to 300,000 people have died from the Chinese coronavirus.
The lockdowns have killed dreams, ambitions, and human beings through suicide and other means.
How did all of this happen?
Aristotle famously said that we are the speaking beings.
If we do not have the ability to speak and communicate, we are no different than the animals of the wild.
Aristotle was a scientist.
Some would call him an empiricist.
It's not a perfect categorization, but he cared about what was happening in the natural world, where Plato cared about what was happening in the clouds.
The space of ideas.
Aristotle cared a lot about what was actually provable and based in reason.
No.
But I'm on my Comrex box, which is usually trustworthy.
I feel bad when that happens.
So do you guys remember how long ago?
About two minutes?
Three minutes?
Yeah.
So I'm...
I'm telling you about no country being immune to the suppression of freedom.
Not even the country that is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show.

Listen to what Joe Biden said about the actions like the one we saw last night in Minneapolis to literally defund the police.
But I also don't think we should get too far ahead of ourselves on dealing with police reform in that because they've already labeled us as being defund the police.
Anything we put forward in terms of the organizational structure to change policing, which I promise you will occur.
Promise you.
Just think to yourself and give me advice whether we should do that before January 5th, because that's how they beat the living hell out of us across the country, saying that we're talking about defunding the police.
We're not.
We're talking about holding them accountable.
Nothing screams holding them accountable better than stripping $8 million from the police department in Minneapolis, which of course will result in...
Here's how this works.
If you don't have funds for the police, if you funnel them into, I guess, mental health counselors, and good luck handling a raging, violent criminal, good luck with that if you're a mental health counselor.
Maybe you can sit there and start singing.
Folk music to somebody who's, you know, waving a machete around.
Maybe you could go back and ask them if they wet the bed when they were a child as they're, you know, on a rampage.
Oh, we're not.
But this is a very important clip from Biden.
You've got to know exactly his intention.

Is there anybody in the business of film criticism who you admire for their craft?
A guy like Joe Mogeson with Wall Street Journal.
He has liked some of my work.
He has liked some of my movies.
He has not liked some.
And not like me and some.
But when he doesn't like it, he's constructive about it.
Meaning, I'll read bad criticisms, and I can tell in the first line that, oh, this person had it in for me before they even saw the movie.
They had already started this bad review before they saw the movie.
So, you know what?
That's not really a criticism.
That's that person's hang-up.
But when I can read somebody that has a good criticism, and Joe does, I think.
A constructive criticism.
And here's why I didn't like the movie.
Here's why Matthew's performance didn't translate for me.
I always learned something from it.
And is it something that you do when you study reviews from serious people after a film comes out in order to improve your craft?
Because they're good at theirs?
Yes.
Yes.
I have done this.
Look, obviously, it's more fun to read a good review.
And obviously, when you do your work, and I feel like I did it well, and I read a good review, I think those people are smarter.
But I went away eight years ago, and I had my publicist gather every bad review that's ever been written on my performances, which is almost 50 at the time.
That's not in the book.
No, it's not.
I didn't put it in there.
Maybe it could be in the next one.
I went away and read every single one and kind of learned more from the bad reviews in a way than I did from the good ones.

Huge number of Democrats who believe that the Russians changed the outcome of the election in 2016, but they're just flabbergasted that Donald Trump is daring to suggest that this election It might have been rigged or might be fraudulent.
No matter what the Russians may have done, I say to my friends who are listening to the program, the Democrats, no matter what the Russians have done or the Chinese have done or the Iranians have done, and clearly they've all tried to interfere with our elections, it pales in comparison to the interference, and I put that in quotes, by the mainstream media that you guys gobble up.

Doing everything possible, folks, not to be bumped off here.
I'm connected to you from Florida.
And the machine is just not as trustworthy as always.
Let's just hope it works out.
I want to bring to you a report here, give you an idea of what's happening.
Part of the notion, if you understand this, you understand America and the world.
If you don't understand this or you deny it, then there's no possibility of apprehending what is happening in the world.
Everything the left touches, it destroys.
Not liberals.
Always make a distinction.
Liberals put leftists into power, but liberals are not leftists.
They're naive to the extent that a human being can be.
So here's another one.
New England Journal of Medicine.
The latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Two doctors and a lawyer have written that it's time to do away with putting a newborn baby's biological sex on a birth certificate.
Yep.
This is from the summary, New England Journal of Medicine.
This is supposedly the most prestigious U.S. Journal of Medicine.
Quote, Sex designations on birth certificates offer no clinical utility, and they can be harmful for intersex and transgender people.
Moving such designations below the line of demarcation wouldn't compromise the birth certificate's public health function.
This is the New England Journal of Medicine.
Remember we had scientists, thousands of scientists, saying that it was a health benefit to demonstrate for racial justice?
The poisoning of the sciences is the latest in the destruction.
The tsunami of destruction that the left creates.
It is a force of chaos.
They don't even know what they believe in.
They only know that things must change at all times.
They only know that what is good is awful and what is bad is not awful.
America is good and it is awful.
Here the author is Vadim Steiler, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brown University.
Brown University is notorious for being a cuckoo place.
It's just a cuckoo place.
They were since the 1960s, 70s.
Wasn't it Brown that the students got stuff in case of nuclear attack?
They had a storehouse to be able to survive a nuclear attack.
The second author is Jessica Clark, a law professor at Vanderbilt Law School.
Quote, she studies constitutional and statutory guarantees of non-discrimination based on traits such as race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and disability.
And Eli Y. Adashi, former dean of medicine and biological sciences at Brown University's clinical specialty is gynecology.
So he treats, as a gynecologist, he treats men and women.
So this is the latest for you from the New England Journal of Medicine.
Do not put sex on a birth certificate.
This is what, of course, your kids will be learning at the university.
Should you risk their going there?
And risk it is indeed.
1-8-Prager-776 is the number here.
And the battle continues.
So I was talking to you about people in Georgia.
I don't know if I was cut out.
I think I was cut out at the time.
There were Republicans in Georgia who were angry that the president was defeated unfairly or defeated at all, and an anger, which I understand.
And they are angry at their governor and their secretary of state, and they're going to show them they're not going to vote.
For either of the two Senate races.
If the Democrats win the two races, they win the U.S. Senate.
And look, I don't want to be dramatic, but it is very hard to see a permanent or at least very long-term damage done to this country.
The changing of its economy, the changing of, I mean, just things like this.
They'll just pass bills.
You can't put sex or gender on a birth certificate.
I mean, there's no end.
If you are a Republican in Georgia and you won't vote because you're annoyed or angry, forgive me, but you are as damaging to the United States of America as any left-wing activist.
It's a fact.
It's not an opinion.
But I've lived long enough to know the power of emotions over reason in the human condition, and that would be a perfectly good example.
People in Georgia, anyone but a leftist, has the chance to protect this country from left-wing Bolshevik-slash-communist dominance.
I don't know what else.
What other terms shall I use?
Progressive?
Are you kidding?
It is progressive not to put the sex of a child on a birth certificate.
So you have the chance in Georgia to protect this country as much as anyone in American history has had the chance to protect this country.
But arguing against people's emotions is a very difficult thing to do.
I am well aware of that.
I have spent a good chunk of my life arguing with people's emotions.
And that is the case in Georgia today.
If you're in Georgia, I'm curious what you do think about your state, and are there, more important to me, do you know of people who won't vote, who voted for Donald Trump, for example?
The President needs to make it clear what happens in Georgia is more important than, right now, the challenge to the Biden election.
It is simply more important.
Okay?
You have to...
Everything...
All good in life is done by choosing priorities.
And this would be one of those examples.

You're just not mad at anybody except one moment with your mom.
Were you aware of that when you were writing this?
You know, I mean, I've got my grievances, but I've learned to move on from, if I can't be constructive with them, I've learned to move on.
I mean, even the deal with my mom, we had a grievance for eight years.
But I knew that we were going to mend our fences and come back together.
I just didn't know when, and it took eight years.
Did you not get a role that you really wished you'd gotten?
I mean, that you still think about to this day?
No, Hugh, I've got to be honest.
I'm pretty fortunate in everything that I passed on.
I have no regret on anything I passed on.
There was a movie that I did love, that I was offered, that I said no to, but I loved the movie, and that was LA Confidential.
Curtis Hanson directed it.
It's a great movie.
And that came to me right after I got famous of The Time to Kill.
And so I write about it in the book.
After that weekend of Time to Kill opened, all of a sudden I was being offered everything.
Whereas two days before Time to Kill opened, I wasn't getting offered much of anything.
And so, in the affluence of scripts that were coming my way, I remember reading that and thinking it's really good, but I just don't have to do it.
But then I saw the movie and I was like, ooh, that was a really good one.

There have been 532 gunshot victims so far this year.
532. More than double the same period a year ago.
Carjackings are up 331% from the same period last year.
They've had hundreds of carjackings in the streets of Minneapolis.
Violent crimes have surged to 5,100 crimes.
And what did Minneapolis City Council do?
Unanimously voted to slash the Minneapolis Police Department's budget by $8 million.
Supposedly, they'll take the money and funnel it to other city services, including mental health teams and violence prevention programs, as they try to, quote, Transform police.

Alright everybody, we got somebody in Georgia who won't be voting.
I'm Dennis Prager.
Welcome to the show.
Jim, thank you in Atlanta for calling.
Hey Dennis, good to talk to you.
Thank you.
Yeah, the reason that I'm not going to be voting, and a lot of us here, is they're using the same rigged machines, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to us why we would go back and vote on the same machines that we did before, where they...
So you would give them a landslide rather than make it tougher for them?
Well, they're going to get the landslide anyways because they've already started by mailing out ballots.
They're going to do the same thing they did last time.
So there are no safeguards since the national election?
Nothing has changed?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
There's no safeguards.
They didn't even look at any of the evidence.
They've got videotapes of them bringing out ballots from under tables after they pushed people out of the room during the vote.
And the people in Georgia were just kind of fed up with the whole thing.
And we're fed up with the Republican Party also.
They did absolutely nothing to try to fix the problem that just happened, which was the rigged election.
You're not voting is a sort of a kick in the teeth in the governor's face?
Yes.
And it's beyond that.
A lot of us are completely done with the Republican part.
And it's not just me.
What is your alternative to the Democrats?
Let them ride for four years and see what they do to it.
And then maybe people will come around.
So they'll ruin the country because you're ticked off at the Republicans and you're prepared to ruin the country to prove your point.
I'm not prepared, but the problem is they're going to rig the election again.
Yeah, but if enough Republicans vote, they can't rig it if every Republican in Georgia votes.
They did it last time.
Why wouldn't they do it again?
Because, okay.
I don't know for a fact that they will do it again.
They will try to do it.
If the Republicans, if people like you or others are not going to oversee anything, or forget you, I don't want to put you on the spot.
It's not your position to oversee elections.
We tried to.
There was people from the Republican Party.
All I could say is, do you understand the damage that will be done to the country if they have the Senate, the Presidency, and the House?
I understand that, but they're going to do it anyways.
That's the problem.
Nobody in the Republican Party came forward to try to do anything about it after the fact.
I mean, a crime was committed, and they did absolutely nothing about it.
Okay, by your not voting, you're rewarding the crime.
That's not true.
Yes, it is.
You guys cheated, and because you cheated, I'm going to let you win the next time.
Well, how come nobody stood up for the fact of what they did, and nobody tried to change?
Why can't we do a paper ballot?
I agree with you.
I agree with you.
They should postpone the election, which the governor has done previously.
Postpone it.
And just do a paper ballot, then you'll get everybody to go out and vote.
Yes, I think it should be paper ballots in every place in the country.
In the meantime, your not voting is a guarantee that evil people will ruin America.
I just don't understand why you are at peace with that.
I'm glad you called.
It means a lot.
It's better.
Here's another person who has a view on this.
John in Chicago.
Hello.
That was my favorite phone call ever to your show.
Oh, but it was.
He made my point for me.
Just like you told everybody who listens to you that the medical establishment are a bunch of bad leftists, and now they're supposed to all trust him for the vaccine, you've spent the last month and a half telling everybody that the election was stolen, but now you desperately need them all to go vote.
That man is responding to what you told him, Dennis.
You made that guy.
He's too responsible for what he believes.
Right.
So you believe that the election was fair in every state?
Yes or no?
Do you believe if you don't answer, I'm hanging up.
I answer you, you answer me.
I have rules of discourse in this show.
Do you believe that the voting was honest in every state?
I believe Mr. Krebs was right.
I believe the Department of Homeland Security's assessment.
Yes, sir, I do.
Okay.
I think you're a fool.
I don't believe it was honest in every state.
Do you believe that Democrats ever cheat in elections?
More than Republicans do?
I'll keep you on, in fact.
You're going to have three minutes to think up an answer.
Do Democrats cheat more in elections than Republicans?

Didn't work this year, but I have a terrific other one, which I personally approved.
Hundreds of thousands of kids have a parent or parents in prison.
And this Angel Tree campaign sends them a gift from the parent ostensibly, hopefully with a note.
And it gives the kids a Bible.
And for $22, that's all it takes to get one of these kids a gift and all these other things.
Contact from the parent, hopefully.
And a Bible.
It's the best answer to the evils of the world in any event.
So please do click on that banner at AngelTree.
Christmas is coming up next week, obviously.
And whatever your faith, this is a beautiful gesture.
$22 is something.

So, John, in Chicago, you were on record as saying there was no cheating in any state, so fine.
We differ on that.
No, I haven't seen any evidence of it, sir.
No, no, no.
Okay.
Oh, all right.
Fine.
That's not the same thing.
I'm asking what you believe.
If you had to have your hand on whatever text you hold to be holy and swear before whatever God you believe in, would you say that to the best of your ability to ascertain truth in life, there was no cheating on behalf of the Democrats?
I will tell you again, sir, I have not seen any evidence of it.
No, no, you know what?
You haven't seen any evidence that...
Did you see evidence that...
Oh, God.
What's his name?
O.J. Simpson murdered his wife and another person?
Sir, come on.
Come on, Dennis.
May I ask you a question?
No, no, no.
Wait, wait.
Come on, Dennis.
This is not the answer.
The jury said that they didn't find the evidence persuasion.
Are we going to talk about O.J. Simpson now?
Is that the subject?
Is O.J. Simpson the subject now?
No, the subject is your evasion of my statement by talking about evidence.
So I used evidence to show that your answer is an evasion.
You're evading the point of my call, sir.
Your last caller believes what he believes because of exactly what you're saying.
Right, and he's a fool for not voting.
I don't care what he believes.
He's a fool for not voting.
It is irrelevant.
I have no role in that man's idiotic conclusion.
Okay?
None.
It is a stupid, America-destroying idea for a Georgian Republican not to vote.
It is a completely emotional, childish, puerile, immature, irresponsible, despicable idea.
I have no role in that idiocy.
I believe there was cheating, and the idea that you connect that to not voting for the possibility of the Democrats running all three branches of government, you are a giant fool.

Thank you.

Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
I hope you can hear me okay.
I do.
I'm calling from Wisconsin.
I am a poll worker.
And I have a couple points to make.
Number one, I wish that guy were actually working the polls instead of being an armchair protester, which is useless to America.
Number two, my second point is, even though I believe strongly and know so that the election commissioner cheated many states like Wisconsin out of this election because they passed rules that were not passed by the legislation, and that alone right there proved fraud, okay?
Number two, they would not let GOP people work the polls.
It's all union hacks.
Okay?
That's proof right there.
My third point is, you must vote.
And the reason why, the reason why we know that voter fraud occurred is because more people voted than people who are registered.
And if you don't get out and vote, you won't be able to have any clue, you know, that that happened again.
Because it'll look like they actually won.
So don't be a fool.
You go out and you vote and you fight.
And here's the other point.
What if Trump actually does a seat and he actually gets into office and then we don't have the Senate?
Good going, Georgia.
That's right, my dear.
That is exactly right.

Not him, but I've battled this my whole life.
Oh, the Republicans, they're so this, they're so that.
I'm as aware of the Republican Party's flaws as anyone.
I said for most of my career that when I became a Republican in the Reagan era, I went from the destructive party to the stupid party.
I said that.
I mean, any party that nominated...
In succession, all of these Republicans to run for president, from George Bush Sr. to Mitt Romney, not one of them, to the best of my knowledge, even understanding what conservatism is, many of them just fine people, but irrelevant, weak.
But I campaigned for all of them.
I have a picture of John McCain and myself.
Because I went around the country campaigning for every Republican nominee, whatever I thought of them as a nominee personally.
Because when you have a binary choice, that's it.
Oh, I won't support the Republican Party.
Then you don't really believe that Democrats are destructive.
That's the only, okay, you could say you believe they're destructive, but if the only alternative is even a wimpy Republican.
Wimpy Republicans are infinitely superior to destructive Democrats.
Destructive Democrat is redundant.
I don't know why this is not clear.
I just really don't.
I don't.
But the human condition is a troubled one.
And it's fun to feel good about yourself.
It was a fraudulent election.
So now I'll just watch the Democrats destroy my country by not voting in Georgia.

And they largely succeeded.
This is a hard thing for us to admit.
It's a hard thing for us to admit that the masters of the universe, the masters of Menlo Park, if you go back in January, all the way fast forward to today, just in 2020, they pulled off a decade of transformation in 11 months.
Think about where we were back in January.
Critical Race Theory, BLM Incorporated.
We're considered radical movements and radical pieces of thought.
Not at Google, though.
At Google and at YouTube and at the Masters of Menlo Park, they considered critical race theory to be a religious text.
They considered Herbert Macuza and Angela Davis to be what I would view Isaiah and Elijah prophets of what is to come, of some form of Hegelian.

Last week on Sunday, you had a Republican judge in Michigan say to the Giuliani team that a third-party audit could go forward in Anarum County.
Why is that important?
Anarum County is where the 6,000 votes went from.
The Trump column to the Biden column.
It was nearly a full 33% of the county that got switched in that.
And we discovered it through a hand signature audit of the county that the Republican Party...
Is Antrim, Michigan?
Yes.
And it was the first place, Eric, where we first heard the word Dominion Voting.
It was in that county, it was in that flip, it was in that switch.
At the time, the Secretary of State in that state said that it was a clerical error, that a clerk made the mistake, and then they shut off all discussion of it.
Well, a judge said, it's okay, you guys can go in and do a forensic examination of 22 voting machines there in Anrum.
That was concluded last Sunday, a week ago.
We were told we would get results last Tuesday.
As of Friday, we were still awaiting those results and the Attorney General in the state of Michigan had intervened, gone to the court and said, please side with us that they may not disclose.
But this is a utopian thing.
It's childish.
I'm angry at the Republicans, so let the Democrats win.
Oh, boy.
I don't know what the...
I don't know what to say.
Let's get some more Georgia calls.
Derek in Atlanta, hello.
Derek in Atlanta, hello.
Hi, how are you?
Okay.
Yes.
I mean, I definitely voted.
I think it is stupid that that last guy didn't vote.
I'm a gay Republican, and I voted.
I had to early vote.
And it's just, it's going to be very close, unfortunately, and it shouldn't be.
You know, because we know that the Democratic side is bad.
And it just doesn't make any sense to me.
It should be a no-brainer.
But I think one of the main concerns...
Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
No, no, I'm agreeing with you.
It should be a no-brainer.
That is correct.
Yep.
And I think a lot of people, because, like, me being a conservative, I live in kind of, you know, a predominantly Democratic area.
And people aren't willing to listen to the other side.
And it's just a shame, you know.
But the other side needs to...
Well, of course.
The media gives you one side.
Anyway, we hear their side.
They don't hear our side.
I don't know any conservative who doesn't know every liberal argument and every leftist argument.
They don't know any of ours.
It's a huge difference.
Wendy in Marietta, Georgia.
Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Hi.
You made my life better.
Just wanted to share that.
Thank you so much.
Okay, so I live in Mariana, and I'm going to early vote.
I haven't heard anybody in my small world talk about not voting, and I'm not even sure your caller earlier got that message from the right or the left.
Well, I don't know how many people he represents.
I'm broadcasting about it because I fear...
Look, we can't afford to lose any votes.
So, the fact that...
I can't believe he's the only one who thinks that way.
People are driven by emotions.
Unless they listen to you.
Good woman.
That's right.
That's the hope.
I love reason.
Alright, Jay and Hoboken try to get me in the third hour.
Anyway, Wendy, Derek, Tom, Jeremy, I got those two.
Mike, Barry, Cheryl, I wish I could take you right now.
Now we go to the happiness hour, which to say the least is somewhat needed.
Trending now on the Larry Ulner Show.
What could we have done to change the outcome?
Now, what the Democrats did was to use the coronavirus as an excuse to loosen election rules, to make it easier and easier for people to vote, make it easier and easier for election fraud to be committed.
And many of the things that they did were perfectly legal, underhanded but perfectly legal.
Now, the previous election cycle...
The Republicans lost four seats in Orange County, a county that used to be reliably Republican, got wiped out in Orange County, largely because the Democrats employed a tactic known as ballot harvesting.
Legal, underhanded, but it allows votes to be turned in later on if you've assisted a voter in filling out his or her ballot.
Now, obviously, assisting somebody filling out his or her ballot is wrought with potential for fraud.
But the Democrats pulled that off, and they ended up snatching victory from the jaws of defeat for these races.
So what did Republicans do?
They didn't go BMW. They figured out what the Democrats did and engaged in the same kind of tactics.
And guess what?
All four of those seats are now back in Republican hands.
So that's what we ought to be doing.
I told you before that the Democrats' secret weapon was they got everybody who could fog up a vote to fog up a mirror to vote.
And in my opinion, most people who've never voted are very likely Democrats.
I think more Republicans are far more motivated, far more aware of what's going on than your average Democrat.
And therefore, the average non-voter or seldom voter is very likely to be a Democrat.
And Democrats knew that.
They went out to get them.
Well, there are a lot of them who are Republicans, though.
And did Republicans try and go out and get those?
Figure out what these guys did.
and make the arguments persuasive.

Well, the lead attorney for the independent audit team says that they saw conclusive proof that it wasn't a clerical error, that there was a computer connected to the tabulation system, and that it was actually provable through the forensic audit that a computer switched the votes.
And it was only through the hand recount, comparing signatures, they went to a full signature recount, that they were able to establish what had really been the will of the voters in that county.

Yeah, so next Friday is Christmas.
So it'll be a pre-recorded show with a happiness hour.
And then it'll be Dr. Marmer.
Oh, great.
So people should tune in.
It's a Christmas gift to you, Dr. Marmer.
And then the, let's see, 25 and 7 is 32. So then the next Friday, is New Year's and that will be people are giving off that day so this is my last happiness hour live happiness hour of the year you know how much importance I attach to the happiness hour which has never been cancelled because
of other news or because of news since I began broadcasting The Happiness Hour, 1999. When I say every week, the happy make the world better, the unhappy make it worse, it sounds like a throwaway line.
It is about as important a concept as you can have.
The unhappy make it worse on a personal level, because they make the people around them miserable.
Their children, their parents, their siblings, their co-workers, their friends, their spouse.
And they make the country and the world worse.
Misery loves company, and so the miserable want others to be miserable.
In fact, as a general rule, and it's not always true, and there are people who are unhappy who are very noble souls.
I want you to know I recognize that.
But I'm talking about the unhappy that revel in their unhappiness.
As opposed to people who have bouts of unhappiness for physiological reasons or because of trauma in their lives, and that's a separate issue.
But most of the time, the unhappy make the world worse.
Let's put it this way.
The happy make the world better.
Is that obvious?
Do happy people riot?
Okay, just as an example.
Do happy people rape?
Do happy people loot?
Steal?
So think about that.
So this is a very important hour, and I want to talk to you in light of Christmas coming up next week and people debating, well, there's COVID, and I don't know if I want to get together.
Look, if you have comorbidities, You are a person who has reason to fear that you will be very sick or die if you contract COVID. If you are in that small group of people, I understand your hesitance.
The rest of you, you should be having Christmas, just as you should have had Thanksgiving as we did with 25 people.
So I want to talk to you about holidays.
This happiness hour.
The importance of holidays in a person's life in terms of the happiness of the individual and the happiness of the society.
Both are exceedingly important.
There has been A conscious or unconscious war on holidays.
Not just a war on Christmas.
And if you deny that, you're lying to yourself.
I'm not saying you're lying to me, but you are lying to yourself.
It's amazing to me.
Where did I just hear this today?
I'm in Florida.
And I think as I left the hotel, nice young lady behind the desk.
I assumed she was masked.
And have a happy holiday.
Not happy holidays.
Correctly, Hanukkah is essentially over.
And, I mean, it's the last day today, so I don't think she was keeping tabs on Hanukkah.
Have a happy holiday.
Now, it's interesting.
We say happy Halloween, say happy Thanksgiving.
We don't say happy holiday then.
Or have a happy fourth?
Okay, you're saying that's because there's only one holiday.
Right.
So what is the other holiday when people say happy holidays?
I think they're encompassing Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa.
They're encompassing Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa.
So this came through my earphones from my trustworthy...
So here's a question from my trustworthy engineer.
Do you know one person who celebrates Kwanzaa?
Okay, he's laughing.
That ends that issue.
So Hanukkah is over.
Will people say for the next week, Happy Merry Christmas, now that Hanukkah is over?
We say Happy New Year.
Why not Happy Holiday for that?
Look, in case that's not proof, The renaming of the office Christmas party to holiday party should be proof enough that there has been a deliberate attempt to suppress mention of Christmas.
It is rare in urban areas today to say Merry Christmas.
I say it, I'm Jewish, I celebrate Hanukkah, and I still say Merry Christmas.
To my fellow citizens, when I get off a plane or wherever it might be, at a Starbucks or anywhere else, I will say Merry Christmas.
Because it is a national holiday, and because of the subject of this Happiness Hour, holidays are essential to your happiness.
There was a time in American life when July 4th was a really big deal.
It was a celebration of the founding of the freest country on earth.
Yes, the freest country on earth had slavery.
What point are you making by making that point?
Since every country on earth had slavery, what is your point?
We abolished it.
We abolished it and we killed vast numbers of free people in order to abolish it.
And why did we abolish it?
Because of the founding documents that said all men are created equal, all are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, to be more precise.
That is why it was abolished.
The preoccupation with slavery has one end, and that is the smearing of the American experiment by the bored, aimless, unhappy, who want meaning in their lives because they don't have any.
The holidays in life are this break.
I have a holiday every single week, literally a holy day.
It is a major source.
Of my strength, my happiness, my peace of mind, and that is my Sabbath.
Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, I leave the world, and I enter it with either family or friends every week, and it is an incredible strength giver to me.
There is something more to life.
Then just making a living, as great as that is to make a living, and I am a big believer in it.
Earn is one of my favorite words, as you know.
But most people don't have this holiday every week.
It's in the Ten Commandments.
It's the only ritual in the Ten Commandments.
You might want to give it some thought, if you respect the Ten Commandments.
Why don't you take that break every week?
Why?
But aside from that, aside from having every week, then there are all the religious and American holidays that fill my life.
In fact, my view is Judaism has too many holidays.
But better too many than too few.
So people who don't have Christmas, don't have Thanksgiving, and don't have July 4th, what do they have?
They just have, what, winter solstice?
My God, that is so meaningful.
Look at that.
Winter solstice.
I wish you a merry winter solstice.
And may your spring equinox be equally meaningful.
There's no comparison.
This notion of, well, Dr. Fauci is not going to be with his kids for the first time in 38 years.

Didn't he just take it?

Anyway, it's good for me to have a vacation.
So I just wanted you to understand.
So I chose as my topic the importance of holidays.
We live in the age of anti-wisdom.
Not only non-wisdom, but anti-wisdom.
And there's just a thought, apparently, that holidays are not important.
July 4th was critical throughout most of American history.
Parades, bans.
Music, dancing, people getting together for a meal.
It was a very special day for most of American history.
And that became eventually a day for hot dogs and hamburgers, and that somewhat ended that as meaningful.
At least it existed.
Of course, there were serious holidays, like Memorial Day.
People would visit graves of fallen soldiers.
That's pretty much died for the woke.
Anyway, as far as the left is concerned, they died in vain.
Protect this systemically racist country?
God, what fools.
For that flag that we wouldn't even stand for in the national anthem?
So just think about it.
Ask a, not a liberal, ask a left-wing relative, do you think that, by and large, Americans who died fighting for this country died for no good reason.
And if they died for a good reason, then what is that good reason, and shouldn't we perpetuate it?
Back to the holidays issue.
So Christmas is coming up, and people are debating, do we get together?
And they debated before Thanksgiving.
The price you pay not getting together is enormous.
I just want you to understand that.
There's no calculation of cost.
And benefit.
Well, you know, better safe than sorry.
Well, I don't know if it's better safe than any holiday is a good idea.
Better safe than Christmas?
Better safe than Thanksgiving?
Really?
Maybe.
Depends on the individual.
Now, I raise this issue.
Of Dr. Fauci or others, some public figures have gotten, already have gotten a vaccine.
Are they going to be gathering with family?
Is it that risky?
Do you know what the risks are?
Alan, send me the risk table again.
I think it came last night.
The chances of your dying, if you are any given age, the chances of your dying from COVID, the minuscule, minuscule chances.
So for that, you will forego Christmas?
Because you were panicked by CNN and the New York Times, who are conveyors of hate and fear.
That's the basic jobs of the New York Times and CNN and the rest of the gang.
I'm just using them.
As the paradigms.
Are we, uh, Sean, are we on?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, good.
Fine.
Excellent.
Oh, yes, that's right.
I saw a message from earlier.
Yeah, we're fine.
So, I'm broadcasting from Florida.
That's the reason I asked.
Here, so here, I just want you to know some of the survival rate data, in case you're still debating.
COVID infection survival rates.
This is if you get infected.
This doesn't even include the non-infected, which would make it even smaller.
So your chances, if you are under 65, 99.5%.
So what does that mean?
0.05%, and you have to have a comorbidity, basically, to die.
That's under 65. By the way, 80, if you're over 80 in female, you have a 94% chance of, over 80 in female, over 80 in male, 89%.
That's if you get infected.
All right?
So, it's the infection fatality rates.
That's what they are.
There it is.
So, it's one half of one percent, 60 to 64. I mean, beyond that, it's truly infinitesimally small.
You get younger than that.
And when I see young people panicked into mask-wearing outdoors, I just feel sorry for them.
I feel sorry for the society to have raised such a scared generation that is oblivious to facts, led by the nose, by, I don't know, by tweets.
And they don't know the statistics on this.
I want you to have holidays.
I want you to have it beyond COVID. They are a very important part of life for happiness.
And there's no substitute for holidays.
People don't get together on any regular basis without holidays.
What is the secular equivalent to Christmas?
Well, you can have a secular Christmas, but there's no alternative to Christmas.
People don't get together every year.
And celebrate it with family and friends for the winter solstice or Groundhog Day.
That's what I want you to have in your life.
And look, I told you the importance.
I have one every week.
And I will be having it with family tonight in Florida and then with my other son next week coming in from Pennsylvania to L.A. And, of course, I have it with friends the rest of the year.
And it has kept me sane and happy through this horrible period in American history.
As I've told you, I've gotten together every Friday night with friends from the beginning.
I have not observed one lockdown order from tyrants who are fools.
I don't accept irrational orders.
And you know what?
America is better for having people like me than Newsom.
I am better for this country than Gavin Newsom.
I'll take your calls.

Listen to what Joe Biden said about the actions like the one we saw last night in Minneapolis to literally defund the police.
But I also don't think we should get too far ahead of ourselves on dealing with police reform in that because they've already labeled us as being Defund the police.
Anything we put forward in terms of the organizational structure to change policing, which I promise you will occur.
Promise you.
Just think to yourself and give me advice whether we should do that before January 5th, because that's how they beat the living hell out of us across the country, saying that we're talking about defunding the police.
We're not.
We're talking about holding them accountable.
Nothing screams holding them accountable better than stripping $8 million from the police department in Minneapolis, which of course will result in...
Here's how this works.
If you don't have funds for the police, if you funnel them into, I guess, mental health counselors, and good luck handling a raging, violent criminal, good luck with that if you're a mental health counselor.

A guy like Joe Mogeson with Wall Street Journal.
He has liked some of my work.
He has liked some of my movies.
He has not liked some and not liked me in some.
But when he doesn't like it, he's constructive about it.
Meaning, I'll read bad criticisms, and I can tell in the first line that, oh, this person had it in for me before they even saw the movie.
They had already started this bad review before they saw the movie.
So, you know what, that's not really a criticism.
That's that person's hang-up.
But when I can read somebody that has a good criticism, and Joe does, I think, a constructive criticism.

Here's why Matthew's performance didn't translate for me.
I always learn something from it.
And is it something that you do where you study reviews from serious people after a film comes out in order to improve your craft?

Yes.
Yes.
I have done this.
Look, obviously it's more fun to read a good review.
And obviously, when you do your work, and I feel like I did it well, and I read a good review, I think those people are smarter.
But I went away eight years ago, and I had my publicist gather every bad review that's ever been written on my performances, which is almost 50 at the time.
That's not in the book!
No, it's not.

This is what this Gupta said on TV. I played it for you.
You should mask and distance yourself even after getting the vaccine.
Wow.

New England Journal of Medicine just published today a study, a quote-unquote study, a report that sex or gender should not be on a birth certificate anymore because it's not fair to the intersexual and transgender.
That was in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Jim in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Thank you.
Hi, this is Jim from St. Petersburg, and I'm calling in response to your We're watching the emergency rooms and hospitals that are filling with patients.
The workers there are getting sick.
They're getting the vaccines in, but it's not perfect yet, and we're trying to just Keep people safe if they can wait another year.
Are you there?
Yep, I'm here.
Oh, okay.
So just keep people safe another year.
Patience.
I mean, we all want to be happy, sure, but be happy when everybody can get safe because the proof of the vaccine is not total yet.
So you just want to take it easy.
And the people getting the vaccine, it's not getting to everybody.
So still...
Will you follow the advice?
Are you going to get the vaccine?
I'm going to get the vaccine, yes.
After you do, will you continue...
Wait, wait, please let me ask you a question.
After you do, will you wear a mask?
Yes, I will.
And the reason?
Because it's advised by the professionals, by the medical professionals.
What about the professionals?
That's not true what you just said.
There are many professionals who think that you're a fool if you wear a mask.
You have decided which professionals to listen to.
So you are deciding.
The professionals are not deciding.
Don't fool yourself.
I admit it for me.
I follow the professionals I trust.
You follow the professionals you trust.
But the professionals you trust I think are fools, and the professionals I trust you think are fools.
Do you think hydroxychloroquine is a waste?
I'm not judging anybody as fools.

I am.

Forgive me.
I need to say something to you.
You are fooling yourself when you say you're following the professionals.
Vast numbers of professionals don't agree with the professionals you have chosen to follow.
So you have made a choice just as I have.
I'm not yelling at you.
I'm not blaming you.
I want you to be honest with yourself.
It is a lie to say you're following the professionals.
You are following some professionals.

Happiness Hour on the importance of holidays, which I would do even if there were no COVID issue.
The subject is of surpassing importance.
You need holidays.
July 4th used to be big.
Memorial Day used to be big.
Not happy, but big.
Veterans Day.
Lincoln's birthday, Washington's birthday.
They were clobbered in the Nixon era.
We did a lot of damage.
And they got stupid President's Day, which means nothing, absolutely nothing.
Might as well be called Aardvark Day.
At least then it would be specific.
We'd be celebrating aardvarks, but nobody knows what presidents were celebrating on President's Day.
And then, of course, Christmas, Thanksgiving, they're being clobbered.
New Year's is still around.
People need holidays.
And I ask people to get together for Thanksgiving, as I did 25 people in my home, asking people to get together for Christmas.
And I want to comment on the last call.
This notion, the professionals say, it's religion.
The professionals say, and so God did not give you evolution, if you prefer, did not give you a mind.
You are not allowed to think.
What if the professional is a fool?
Are all professionals non-fools?
Is there any correlation between professional knowledge?
And being wise?
Any correlation whatsoever?
Is there any correlation between being an epidemiologist and being wise any more than being an Uber driver and being wise?
No, of course not.
So why do we listen to them when there are other professionals who say the opposite?
So let's be honest.
I am honest.
I choose the professionals that I wish to believe based on common sense and wisdom.
And if you don't believe my professionals, you believe yours.
I believe the professionals who say that we would save 100,000 lives had we given hydroxychloroquine, zinc, ivermectin early on when people get COVID. I believe them.
Okay?
And you don't.
Many of you don't.
Fine.
But don't say the professionals.
You're fooling yourself and me.
You can't fool me on that one.

Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
How are you?
A happy Hanukkah.
Hours left here in New York.
I just wanted to tell you, you know, you have the happiness hour, but you sound angry.
But your anger makes me happy because I'm listening to a rational person talking about irrational people.
Now, I want to talk to you about the following the science.
My aunts, my uncles, my grandparents on my father's side followed the scientists all the way to Auschwitz.
Those were the scientists that were directing the Nazi regime.
So it was very interesting, you know, to look at it.
And talking about, you know, vaccines, and one of the pulmonary doctors that I do work with here in New York, he asked me if I'm going to take the vaccine.
I said, no.
He says, you sure?
I said, no, I got a mask on.
You got a mask?
We're equal.
I said, if you take the vaccine, are you going to wear a mask?
He said, you have to, because you're a carrier.
I said, but last year you took the vaccine for the flu.
You didn't wear a mask.
Shouldn't you wear a mask?
So he had a stump look on his face and he said, okay, never mind.
Exactly.
It shows you the people we are working with in the sciences that any of them would say wear a mask after getting vaccinated.
The love of control over other human beings is...
It's a pandemic.
That's what I would define it as.

It doesn't matter how many are starving, how many are out of work.
How many have lost their businesses?
How many have OD'd on drugs?

But I will read to you from the NIH, which I'm sure people, National Institutes of Health.
It is on that very subject of pregnant women and COVID. And it says, Now a large observational study has taken a more comprehensive look at the issue and published some reassuring news for parents-to-be.
The vast majority of women who test positive for COVID-19 during their pregnancies won't develop serious health complications.
What's more, it's also unlikely that their newborns will become infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Huge number of Democrats who believe that the Russians changed the outcome of the election in 2016, but they're just flabbergasted that Donald Trump is daring to suggest that this election might have been rigged or might be fraudulent.
No matter what the Russians may have done, I say to my Friends who are listening to the program, the Democrats, no matter what the Russians have done, or the Chinese have done, or the Iranians have done, and clearly they've all tried to interfere with our elections.
It pales in comparison to the interference, and I put that in quotes, by the mainstream media that you guys gobble up.
Hunter Biden.
New York Post breaks this story days before the election.
This is a bombshell.
And it isn't because Hunter Biden did anything illegal necessarily.
It's because Joe Biden has for months denied knowing anything whatsoever about his son's business, let alone that he met with any of his son's colleagues, business colleagues, business associates.
And it turns out, Tony Bobulinski, the longtime business associate of Hunter, who broke with Hunter, goes public and says he met with Joe Biden for some time.
And also worked with Joe Biden's brother.
And when he said to Joe Biden's brother, look, isn't this kind of dicey for you to be involved in something like this?
Joe Biden's brother said, we have plausible deniability.
So the story broke.
And what did the mainstream media say?

Yes, the importance of holidays and the unwise culture in which we live.
Even before COVID, they were losing importance for people.
But it is particularly important now, if you are truly vulnerable, don't get together with people.
But I don't trust any of the authorities that people are telling me about.
They lost it now.
Even if you get the vaccine, you have to social distance and wear a mask.
What the hell do I want the vaccine for then?
I still have to live this awful life.
See, again, there's no cost-benefit analysis.
The cost of people wearing masks is humans are dehumanized.
That's why I oppose the veil in the Muslim countries.
It dehumanizes women.
You can't have it both ways.
If you think the veil doesn't have any effect on society, then the mask has no effect on society.
If you think the veil does have a deleterious effect, then so does the mask.
At least be honest about it.

Hello.
Mr. Prager, always good to hear your voice.
How are you doing today, sir?
I'm well, thank you.
My question originally was for the Happiness Hour, but I find it curious that yet again here we are having a conversation about these masks.
No, no, no.
So please, I took your call because of your question.
So if you don't want to ask the question, you told the screener.
Yes, sir.
I'll go ahead and ask.
My question today is, what advice would you give to someone who feels that...
For themselves to feel or to express happiness would be inappropriate due to the times we're living in and with so many other of our fellow citizens wondering how they're going to keep their businesses open or afford Christmas presents due to their lack of income.
What kind of advice would you give them?
Well, there were two separate questions as I understand it.
Why would we celebrate while so many of our fellow citizens are suffering?
And then what if you can't afford...
To celebrate it?
Those are two separate questions.
Am I right?
Yes, sir.
Okay, fine.
If the issue is you can't celebrate while others suffer, then you can never celebrate.
Never since Adam.
Okay?
And I'm not being cute.
If others suffering precludes my celebrating life, then there is no time in history.
There wasn't ten minutes when I could celebrate.
People are always suffering, tragically.
I'm trying to reduce suffering.
That's the greatest intention of all of my work.
Now call in on any subject under the sun, and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Now what the Democrats did was to use the coronavirus as an excuse to loosen election rules, to make it easier and easier for people to vote, make it easier and easier for election fraud to be committed.
And many of the things that they did were perfectly legal, underhanded but perfectly legal.
Now, the previous election cycle...
The Republicans lost four seats in Orange County, a county that used to be reliably Republican, got wiped out in Orange County, largely because the Democrats employed a tactic known as ballot harvesting.
Legal, underhanded, but it allows votes to be turned in later on if you've assisted a voter in filling out his or her ballot.
Now, obviously, assisting somebody filling out his or her ballot is wrought with potential for fraud, but the Democrats pulled that off.
And they ended up snatching victory from the jaws of defeat for these races.
So what did Republicans do?
They didn't go BMW. They figured out what the Democrats did and engaged in the same kind of tactics.
And guess what?
All four of those seats are now back in Republican hands.
So that's what we ought to be doing.
I told you before that the Democrats' secret weapon was they got everybody who could fog up a vote to fog up a mirror to vote.
And in my opinion, most people who've never voted are very likely Democrats.
I think more Republicans are far more motivated, far more aware of what's going on than your average Democrat.
And therefore, the average non-voter or seldom voter is very likely to be a Democrat.
And Democrats knew that.
They went out to get them.
Well, there are a lot of them who are Republicans, though.
And did Republicans try and go out and get those?
Figure out what these guys did.
and make the arguments persuasive.

Last week on Sunday, you had a Republican judge in Michigan say to the Giuliani team that a third-party audit could go forward in Anarim County.
Why is that important?
Anarum County is where the 6,000 votes went from the Trump column to the Biden column.
It was nearly a full 33% of the county that got switched in that.
And we discovered it through a hand signature audit of the county that the Republican Party...
Is Antrim, Michigan?
Yes, and it was the first place, Eric, where we first heard the word Dominion Voting.
It was in that county, it was in that flip, it was in that switch.
At the time, the Secretary of State in that state said that it was a clerical error, that a clerk made the mistake, and then they shut off all discussion of it.
Well, a judge said, it's okay, you guys can go in and do a forensic examination of 22 voting machines there in Anrum.
That was concluded last Sunday, a week ago.
We were told we would get results last Tuesday.
As of Friday, we were still awaiting those results and the Attorney General in the state of Michigan had intervened, gone to the court and said, please side with us that they may not disclose the results of those audits.
Now, why is that important?
Well, the lead attorney for the independent audit team says that they saw conclusive proof that it wasn't a clerical error, that there was a computer connected to the tabulation system, and that it was actually provable through the forensic audit that a computer switched the votes.
And it was only through the hand recount, comparing signatures, they went to a full signature recount that they were able to establish what had really been the will of the voters in that county.

People who tell you that you have to wear masks and social distance after getting vaccinated are people you shouldn't be listening to.
If that is not self-negating, as morons with a tyrannical and anti-human impulse, Then nothing is.

And Lucy in Scottsdale, Arizona, you inaugurate the hour.
Hi.
Hi, Dennis.
A fellow Brooklynite, actually, but now in Arizona.
I just wanted you to clarify.
I'm not sure if I'm saying the word correctly, but Sheol or what the Jewish people believe about the afterlife.
Are they with God?
Is there no hell?
Where do they go if they only believe in heaven?
Right.
Well, that was an interesting last statement you made, if they only believe in heaven.
Yeah, so that's another question that you're posing.
I guess.
Yeah, that's fine.
I just want to make it all clear for me.
All right.
Okay, I thank you.
I thank you, and I'm going to answer that now because it's a very important call that you have raised.
Okay, so here it goes.
Jews and non-Jews should never confuse what Jews believe with what Judaism believes.
This is not an insult.
It's not an attack.
It's not a criticism.
It's just a statement of fact.
Most Jews are secular.
So what most Jews believe is irrelevant to Judaism.
Judaism is religion.
So, if you want to know what most religious Jews believe, they believe in the afterlife as much as they believe in God.
So, anyone who doesn't believe in an afterlife does not believe in a just God.
They believe in a cruel, unjust God.
God made a world of suffering, and there is nothing afterwards.
Not only that, he's sort of a God that is...
Playing with humans.
Yeah, I'll give you this blink of an eye of a lifetime, and that's it.
Bye-bye.
So, you know, existence is between oblivions.
That's what the secular view would be of existence.
The biblical view, the Hebrew Bible does not spend much time on the afterlife because it wants us to be preoccupied with this life, which is exactly correct.
But it speaks of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, maybe others, that after they died, they joined their people.
That was clearly, even though they may have been buried very far from any relative, how did they join their ancestors?
So that's very strong.
I have a lot about that in my Bible commentary, The Rational Bible.
But the most important point, there are two important points in what I said.
If you don't believe in an afterlife, you don't believe in a good God, which is fine.
I'm not blaming you, but you have to be intellectually honest.
And two, there's no relationship often, not always, but often, between what Jews believe and what Judaism believes.
Okay, let's go to Jay in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Hello, Jay.
I'd like to know who exactly are the Bolsheviks in the Democrat Party that are pushing for Bolshevism and the command economy and turning all farmers into kulaks?
Not yet, but the desire to move this country to an ever more powerful state and suppress speech is what reminds me of Bolshevism.
That really doesn't...
I'm asking who.
Virtually the entire Democratic Party, the New York Times, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, the entire left, not liberals.
Liberals do not.
The very bourgeois accused by the leftists that you villainize, New York Times is pushing for Bolshevism.
Yeah, and so far as it is pushing for suppression of free speech, which I consider the most important freedom in the world, yes?
When you mean suppression of free speech, you mean they want government action to deny you the right to free speech?
No, not government action.
Private action.
Private action, how?
This is the first example.
How?
Are you familiar with Twitter?
Wait, wait, wait.
You asked me a question.
No.
Do you want me to answer?
If you don't want me to answer, I won't.
You have the floor.
No, because I'm trying to work around the logic that you're giving me.
That's clear that you're working around it.
I wish you would work with it.
Go ahead.
Tell me how a private company can be promoting Bolshevism.
Bolshevism is state control.
So it kind of negates each other.
No, they don't.
The power to suppress speech in America today is in private hands, not in the government's hands.
I don't even know how the government would suppress free speech.
I know how private companies do.
So is this about YouTube?
Do you really need YouTube to express your thoughts?
Wait, wait, wait.
So before I answer that, you acknowledge with me that Twitter, YouTube, Facebook are suppressing free speech.
Do you acknowledge that colleges are suppressing free speech?
They suppress me when I say stuff.
I guess I can make the argument that they suppress me when they didn't deny me to post stuff up.
Yes, that's right.
They did suppress you.
Wait, you're changing the subject.
Do you acknowledge that they are suppressing...
No, I'm not.
All right, let me speak.
I've let you speak twice as much as I have.
Okay.
Do you acknowledge, yes or no, that they are suppressing free speech?
I'm not going to use the word suppressing if you mean they choose to censor.
Yes, choose to censor.
In other words, I'll give you an example.
Doctors appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court, I believe it was, and they promoted hydroxychloroquine.
It was removed the same day by Twitter.
Is that a good example to you, a valid example of suppression of free speech?
Let me answer it.
Can I answer it?
In my way?
That's why I asked you.
No, answer it in the way that people would regard it as an answer.
Okay, so if you come to my house and you tell my kids, let's just say I had kids, and you tell my kids something that I don't want them to be told, do I not have the right to censor you?
You're going into someone else's...
Okay, so fine.
So that's your analogy.
You agree with me.
They censor free speech.
They think we're kids, and they're the adults.
But that's not Bolshevism.
The primary aspect of totalitarianism, left or right, is the suppression of free speech.
Would you prefer that it was called private fascism?
No, the primary agenda of totalitarianism is total control of the populace.
It doesn't matter.
That's correct, and that is what I believe is what is taking place in America today.
All leftism in all of history has been totalitarian.
I have said this all of my life.
Liberals are anti-totalitarian.
Conservatives are anti-totalitarian.
Every leftist is a totalitarian waiting for the time that he can, in fact, express it.

Will you study reviews from serious people after a film comes out in order to improve your craft?
Because they're good at theirs?
Yes.
Yes.
I have done this.
Look, obviously it's more fun to read a good review.
And obviously, when you do your work, and I feel like I did it well, and I read a good review, I think those people are smarter.
But I went away eight years ago, and I had my publicist gather every bad review that's ever been written on my performances, which is almost 50 at the time.
That's not in the book.
No, it's not.
I didn't put it in there.
Maybe it could be in the next one.
I went away and read every single one.
Kind of learned more from the bad reviews in a way than I did from the good ones.

I'm Dennis Prager, and this is the hour you raise whatever you would like to raise with me.
Oh, there's a lot of good stuff here.
Let me get to your calls.
Darren in St. Paul, Minnesota, thank you for calling.
Hello, Dennis.
An honor.
Anytime I hear your voice, I actually have the privilege of talking with you.
Thank you.
I am probably your biggest fan that there ever was.
I called in a couple months ago, and I told you that I have never heard a word come out of your mouth that I don't agree with.
And I told you that I was a gay man, and when you hung up, you said, I wonder how I feel about gay marriage.
That'd be interesting to know.
So you told me to call back on a Friday.
So I'm calling back, and I just wanted to say 100% I agree with your perspective based on your religious convictions that gay marriage is something you do not support.
And I'm not a hypocrite.
Myself, personally, I did a lot of research when AIDS came out.
And although it's not a popular statement to make, I think had there been much more religion or monogamy that was promoted within the gay community, that disease would never have spread as much as it did.
So my desire for gay marriage solely based on the fact I was hoping that it would promote more monogamy.
And more loving and caring relationships between same-sex partners.
Even though I recognize even in my own religion, I was raised Catholic, it goes against it.
Well, you're a special man.
There used to be more of you.
Yeah, and you know I don't patronize callers or any listener or anybody.
So I mean it.
But there were more of you in the past when people were able to say, I would like X, but I realize that for the society's sake, that might not be the best call.
Just as I realize that monogamy within the gay community is an asset, I am opposed to saying, yes, right, yes, and there's a reason why you and I agree.
It has nothing to do with me being straight and you being gay.
It has to do with that we are both guided by reason and decency.
That's all that is needed to agree.
Now, people could be guided by reason and decency and come to different views on certain things.
That's true.
But by and large, they will agree on most.
There are arguments for same-sex marriage.
Judeo-Christian, specifically Jewish in my case, conviction.
I understand God wanting matrimony as only between a man and a woman.
And that once you break that barrier, that guardrail, a lot of things can happen.
One of my arguments, which was not religious-based against same-sex marriage, was when I heard the basic argument...
Gender doesn't matter.
And I said then, I predicted, once you say gender doesn't matter, you are erasing the male-female distinction, which is exactly what has happened since same-sex marriage.
The left never stops.
It's like the baboons who tell us, in the guise of doctors, tell us that Even after getting vaccinated, we will have to wear a mask.
It never ends, you see.
First it was don't overload the ICU departments or wards in hospitals.
Then they weren't.
Then there was another one.
Flatten the curve.
Then there was another one.
And now after the vaccine, see, it doesn't end.
Once you say gender doesn't matter, it doesn't end.
Anyway, I appreciate you very much as you appreciate me.
Paula in Roseville, California.
Hello.
Hi, how are you?
I'm well, thank you.
Okay.
In regard to COVID-19, are you concerned that the ICU might be overwhelmed and then those who really need care might not get it?
Because I agree with you.
Most of everything you say, you know, of course the mortality rate is very low with this, but they say it's so contagious that if so many people get sick at one time, then the hospitals might be, not the hospitals, the ICUs would be overwhelmed.
That is something, I'm curious what your take on that is.
Well, I do worry about it.
I don't know how one could not worry about it, and I do.
However, I am so angry at the medical profession for not keeping people out of the ICU to begin with by not giving them anything like hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, the first one with zinc.
The medical profession is, in my opinion, responsible.
for a vast number of the people entering ICUs who shouldn't because they have deceived, not because they are evil, they are just cowards or herd sheep that they have not recommended these incredibly safe drugs.
And kept people out of the ICU. So what we're told is, oh, the ICUs will be overloaded, so lose your job.
Lose your livelihood.
Lose all of your life savings because the ICUs may be loaded.
But I won't prevent them from being loaded by using hydroxychloroquine.
So I am a bit disgusted with the medical profession.
Doctors saved my life, for the record.
Just want to make that clear.
I have great, great gratitude.
I have no interest in doctors' advice.
I have great interest in doctors' abilities.
Get it?
Doctors are no more courageous or wise than any other group of human beings.
There's a very famous statement.
It's not famous, I take it back.
There's an interesting statement in the Talmud, Second Holiest Work of Judaism.
The best doctors go to hell.
I only tell it to you in Hebrew so you will know I didn't make it up.
There's a very deep awareness that if there's any group that is likely to deify itself, it's doctors.

No matter what the Russians may have done, I say to my Friends who are listening to the program, the Democrats, no matter what the Russians have done, or the Chinese have done, or the Iranians have done, and clearly they've all tried to interfere with our elections.
It pales in comparison to the interference, and I put that in quotes, by the mainstream media that you guys gobble up.
Hunter Biden.
New York Post breaks this story days before the election.
This is a bombshell.
And it isn't because Hunter Biden did anything illegal necessarily.
It's because Joe Biden has for months denied knowing anything whatsoever about his son's business, let alone that he met with any of his son's colleagues, business colleagues, business associates.
And it turns out Tony Bobulinski, the longtime business associate of Hunter, who broke with Hunter, goes public and says he met with Joe Biden for some time.
And also worked with Joe Biden's brother.
And when he said to Joe Biden's brother, look, isn't this kind of dicey for you to be involved in something like this?
Joe Biden's brother said, we have plausible deniability.
So this story broke.
And what did the mainstream media say?
They said this is Russian disinformation.
You have the CEO of Twitter suppressing the story, admitting he suppressed the story.
And he admitted they shouldn't have done it.
But the story was spiked.

How did all of this happen?
Aristotle was a scientist.
Some would call him an empiricist.
It's not a perfect categorization, but he cared about what was happening in the natural world, where Plato cared about what was happening in the clouds, the space of ideas.
Aristotle cared a lot about what was actually provable and based in reason.
That's why he is called just the philosopher in a lot of traditions.

Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
By the way, I do want to remind you that there are two spectacular trips that I'm taking next year.
The cruise with listeners, which I've done for 25 years, and the trip to Israel, both are on my website.
The cruise rates go up January 1st.
The Israel trip remains the same.
By the way, the Israel trip you can cancel until May.
The cruise is in June.
Israel is next October.
And the cruise always sells out.
Either is a great gift, by the way.
You want to give a great Christmas gift to somebody?
A trip with me is a big deal.
Not because it's me.
I hope that that's a factor, but the trip is bigger than me.
But I'm on it, and I give a lot of talks, and it's a very beautiful thing.
Both banners are at my website.
All right, y'all.
Let's go to Mike in Pittsburgh.
Hello.
Hey, Mr. Prager, how are you?
Well, thank you.
Good.
Hey, I had a situation this weekend, and I hope I handled it well, but I would like your advice on it.
I gave ski lessons, and I had a lesson with an 8-year-old child.
Who was actually a pretty good skier and had lessons before.
And they were wearing a mask.
And the child was very, you could tell, disturbed over the mask and had been wearing it.
It was very hard to communicate with and very sad.
I sense that the mask has traumatized the child.
So, let me understand.
Do you...
Yeah, go on.
Yeah, I was going to say, my question for you is...
What is your question?
What are some of the best ways to handle these children?
Well, to the extent that I would have any say in the matter, if I were the father or the instructor, I would live on Earth rather than in Epidemiologyville.
And I would say, don't wear it.
We're skiing.
Who are you going to infect?
There's no one.
Go ahead.
No, go ahead.
I was going to say, that's my point exactly.
There's no one that the child was going to infect.
And children almost never do infect adults.
Yes, exactly.
Folks, you can't cancel life.
It's the first time in history that we have canceled life because there's a virus.
And it doesn't seem to be working.
Masks, masks, masks.
What percentage of Americans?
I think it's an enormous percentage of Americans are wearing masks.
and and we're supposedly at record rates of hospitalization and death all right so this there's so much dishonesty involved which is very tragic I I wish it were clear whom to trust.
I do.
But with the medical profession announcing in the thousands that it's okay to demonstrate for racial justice, that's a health benefit.
I know that liars are talking to me.
That these people are as interested in medicine as I am in...
In badminton.
I always use badminton as my example.
Choose another one.
I'm almost interested in everything, so it's not easy for me to pick something.
I just read a book on eels.

that control the most powerful companies, they Tried to make America in their image, and they largely succeeded.

It's a hard thing for us to admit that the masters of the universe, the masters of Menlo Park, if you go back in January, all the way fast forward to today, just in 2020, they pulled off a decade of transformation in 11 months.
Think about where we were back in January.
Critical race theory, BLM Incorporated, were considered radical movements and radical pieces of thought.
Not at Google, though.
At Google and at YouTube and at the Masters of Menlo Park, they considered critical race theory to be a religious text.
They considered Herbert Macuza and Angela Davis to be What I would view Isaiah and Elijah prophets of what is to come, of some form of Hegelian dystopian nightmare.

Hi, Dennis Prager.
Hi there, Dennis.
This is North Hollywood, Kevin.
And I want to say that I do like to admit in a little bit.
I didn't say I didn't like it.
I said I had no interest in it.
Okay, okay.
Well, okay.
I like it too, but I don't follow.
I also love Dr. Fussman.
But here's my question.
And it concerns the coronavirus.
It's a two-pronged question.
Number one, because there's apparently 300,000 deaths.
From Corona, which is like a lot, and compare that to other countries like Japan, Korea, Australia, where there's like, I don't know, 2,000, 3,000 deaths.
So, like, we are doing something really, really wrong because we're the highest on Earth.
What are we doing that...
Everybody that most other countries are not doing.
And the other question is this.
If you have, you said over 80 years old, if you get it, the odds of dying, the odds of living are about 90%, which means 10% chance of death, which means...
If you go to your Christmas party and there's 10 80-year-olds at the party...
No, no, no.
Your chances are 10% if you get COVID and you're over 80. Not if you're over 80. If you're over 80, your chances are much less than 10% of dying of COVID. It's only 1 out of 10 over 80 who is infected that dies.
Do you understand the difference?
The difference is enormous.
Oh, yes.
Yes, I understand.
All right, so let me go to your first question, because that's very important, and I thank you for calling, and I'm going to give you some of the data here, and I write, thank you.
Okay.
I must say that the internet here is awful, so I may not be able to do that.
Am I still on?
No, no, no.
Yeah, you know what?
I actually, I tried to...
So, Sean, you want to let the gentleman go because I lost the assistant producer here.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, so let me give you some data here, which I've been trying to find.
I'm going to give you the...
From where I look, which is Worldometers, and for whatever reason...
I'm having a tough time today.
Okay, this should do it.
I have it here.
They have changed their website, my friends.
There is nothing I can do about this.
They used to have the list come up of every country, and the United States was, I don't remember, I don't remember what number, but you have to do deaths per million.
You can't say, oh, 300,000.
Oh, that's finally up.
God Almighty.
Sorry, I know some of you don't like if I say God Almighty.
I have old...
Okay, deaths per million.
Belgium is higher than the U.S. Italy is higher than the U.S. Peru is higher than the U.S. Bosnia and Herzegovina is higher than the U.S. Slovenia is higher than the U.S. North Macedonia is higher than the U.S. Spain is higher than the U.S. Montenegro is higher than the U.S. The United Kingdom is higher than the U.S. So you would have to ask, gee, what have they all done that's so wrong?
Just asking why did the U.S. do that so wrong is you'd have to list all these countries.
Gee, why did they do that so wrong?
I would also add that I don't know if every country gives the same data.
In other words, the same criteria for data of who died of COVID. There was a story that was sent to me.
And pardon me, but it's too important.
I have to find it for you if I can here.
In Colorado, which just occurred.
Okay, and let's see.
I think I got it.
Yeah, ready?
Here we go.
Listen to this.
Okay.
Here we go.
This is Katie Pavlich, who's very reliable.
A coroner in Colorado was sounding the alarm over how deaths in her county are being counted and attributed to Wuhan coronavirus.
The coroner, Brenda Bach, says two of their five deaths related to COVID-19 were people who died of gunshot wounds.
CBS News Denver reported this.
Bach says because they tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 30 days, they were classified as deaths.
Among cases.
Bach is calling this classification absurd and raises concerns death classifications are falsely driving the narrative about the direction of the pandemic.
Health officials in the state say they're simply following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control on how to classify deaths of individuals from and with the virus.
It's absurd that they would even put that on there, Bach told the news outlet.
Would you want to go to a county that has really high death numbers?
Would you want to go visit that county because they are contagious?
You know I might get it, and I could die if all of a sudden one county has a high death count.
We don't have it, and we don't need those numbers inflated.
The way the CDC and doctors from the White House Wuhan coronavirus have been classifying deaths from the pandemic has been problematic since the spring.
There is a difference between dying from something and dying with something.
So I don't believe 300,000 Americans have died from the virus.
The virus is not a hoax.
The medical profession has been corrupted by the left because everything the left touches, it corrupts.
I will be back.

Listen to what Joe Biden said about the actions like the one we saw last night in Minneapolis to literally defund the police.
But I also don't think we should get too far ahead of ourselves on dealing with police reform in that because they've already labeled us as being defund the police.
Anything we put forward in terms of the organizational structure to change policing, which I promise you will occur.
Promise you.
Just think to yourself and give me advice whether we should do that before January 5th, because that's how they beat the living hell out of us across the country, saying that we're talking about defunding the police.
We're not.
We're talking about holding them accountable.
Nothing screams holding them accountable better than stripping $8 million from the police department in Minneapolis, which, of course, will result in...

If you don't have funds for the police, if you funnel them into, I guess, mental health counselors, and good luck handling a raging, violent criminal, good luck with that if you're a mental health counselor.

Last Friday, you raised a question or a point about people not being able to control themselves, specifically the left.
Wanting to control other people, I should say.
And I was wondering your thoughts on a point that I've...
I thought for a very long time, if people don't control themselves, they're going to control somebody else.
I believe people have a built-in desire to have control and they don't have self-control.
I believe that they'll control other people or desire to control other people and I think that applies to the left.
That's a very interesting theory.
I have to think it through.
What is the relationship between self-control and the desire to control others?
The number one task in life is to control oneself.
That is the hardest and most important task.
If everybody did, the world would be heavenly.
So that's clear.
There is no emphasis on self-control on the left.
It is government control.
The question is, do they personally?
Not exercise self-control.
Well, if the rioters are an example, they don't.
If the tolerance of rioters is an example, it's a very intelligent point.
Somebody hung up who wanted to know if I was going to, if I'm interested in writing a Passover Haggadah, or Haggadah, and the answer is that I hope to, but after I finish my Bible commentary, I'm writing my autobiography.
