And there is a faction, I think it is a small faction, but it is an influential faction that is almost trying to hold the Republican Party hostage in Georgia over the presidential election fraud debacle.
Now, to me, it is of the utmost importance to win Georgia.
If Trump stays the president, it's important we have the Senate.
If Trump isn't the president, it's important we have the Senate.
Conclusion?
It's important we have the Senate.
We can't afford really not to have the Senate.
And there's a great deal of energy and money and weight.
I'm referring here to Stacey Abrams throwing her enormous weight.
Behind the Democrats in Georgia.
$100 million, I believe, for each of the two campaigns for Ossoff and Warnock.
So it's important that Georgia step up, and Republicans in Georgia step up.
And there's no reason that you can't fight on multiple fronts, on both fronts.
Yes, fight for Trump.
But also fight to hold the Senate, because the Senate is the stopgap.
If we have Biden, we're going to be moving, and this is going to be kind of my topic for today.
What does it mean to move in the direction of socialism?
What do we really mean by socialism?
How can a discredited ideology that has been tried all over the world, in the last century there was probably one half of the real estate on the planet, That was subjugated by one form of socialism or another.
It's failed everywhere.
So why would an ideology that is perhaps the most discredited ideology since slavery make a comeback here in the United States?
How could it, for the first time in our country's history, migrate into the political mainstream?
And are we talking about, do the Democrats today, have they truly embraced socialism?
I mean, Biden said, I beat the socialist.
Did he beat the socialist, or did he beat the socialist only to take on the socialist mantle himself?
Are we talking about the same type of socialism that Marx wrote about, that was tried in countries like China and the Soviet Union?
Or perhaps are we talking about some form of democratic socialism that is supposed to be new, but is not new, because it was tried in India.
I was raised under democratic socialism.
When I was a kid, I remember my family having a ration card.
And the ration card told my mom how much rice and sugar and cooking oil she could buy.
Our family was on a seven-year waiting list to get a phone.
Seems incredible now, but the phone company was owned by the government.
And here in America, whatever the government does, it typically does badly.
India in the 1970s, under democratic socialism, was the begging bowl of the world.
And I remember that when I came to America, I'd hear American families, in effect, say to their kids, Oh, Johnny, you better eat your dinner because there are millions of starving people in India!
Socialism did that.
Socialism created that scarcity and that misery.
And it deprived a whole generation of Indians of their birthright.
Now, very interestingly, today, American families don't really say that anymore.
In fact, they're more likely to say to their kids, hey, Johnny, you better study hard because there are millions of Indians waiting to take your jobs.
Now, why do people say that?
How did India change its reputation?
How did it cease to be the begging bowl of the world?
How did it become, you might say, a second world country, at least for tens of millions of Indians who have now joined the middle class, live in nice apartments, drive nice cars, don't have to go to the sea to wash their clothes?
Well, the answer, the short answer, India began to abandon socialism, move away from socialism, began to embrace, at least to a limited degree, technological capitalism.
And so we see that socialism has had this dismal record.
And yet, it's got an appeal.
It's appealing to some young people.
It clearly has found a home in the Democratic Party.
And so we want to think about socialism and learn about socialism, but learn about it in its new form, in the form that I'm going to call, and I'll kind of lay out this a little better as we go along, identity socialism, socialism mixed with identity politics.
There's a lot more to come on this.
We'll be right back.
Four-minute break.
Okay.
You'll clue me in.
Trending now on the Larry Oller Show.
What could we have done to change the outcome now?
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 here's or her ballot.
Now obviously assisting somebody filling out here's 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 do 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.

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.

Love to hear from you and take your questions.
We're talking about the election, we're talking about Georgia, and we're talking about socialism.
Back on all this craziness that we've lived through for the past month and a half, it almost seems in retrospect that we, the conservatives, the patriots, we were focused on the campaign.
And the Democrats, the left, was focused on the election.
Now, in a normal campaign, both sides focus on the campaign.
You lay out your arguments, you lay out your themes, you organize your rallies, you try to motivate your base, you try to win over the guy sitting on the fence.
But only one side was doing that this time.
Massive rallies for Trump, massive organizing campaigns.
Meanwhile, the Democrats were curiously lethargic.
Almost no campaigning.
Joe Biden, let's put a lid on it by 11 a.m.
Let me have a, quote, rally with big circles and seven people sitting in them outnumbered by two dozen reporters.
It's almost as if Biden knew he had it in the bag.
What's the point of campaigning?
Why put in all that work?
And...
This doesn't mean that the left wasn't doing anything, that they were inactive, that they went to sleep, that they kind of went Rip Van Winkle on us.
No, they were busy.
Doing what?
They were busy with the election process itself.
They were busy mailing out tens, if not hundreds of millions of ballots, mail-in ballots.
They were busy organizing the count, particularly in the critical states.
Let's set up the tables this way.
Let's figure out how we can board up the windows.
Let's keep the observers a safe distance away so they can't really see anything going on.
Let's also mobilize a massive army of lawyers so that once things get complicated, we will be ready to stymie lawsuits.
We'll be able to fight this out in the courts.
Think of how foresighted the left was on this.
They even pressed Amy Coney Barrett in her hearings.
Hey, Amy Coney Barrett, will you swear here and now that you will recuse yourself from any election controversies?
It's almost as if they knew that that was coming down the road.
So you have this very peculiar election of 2020 in which the two sides were up to two different things.
And the question I want to ask is, not even so much are the Democrats and is the left crooked?
I think we know the answer to that, and we have known the answer to that, really, going back to the Clintons.
This is, by the way, not something that is somehow inherent in the Democratic Party.
We didn't see it in Truman's Democratic Party or JFK's or even Jimmy Carter's.
Carter may have been a massive nincompoop.
But he wasn't corrupt in the way the Clintons are or Obama.
So all of this has sort of developed really in the last 20 years or so.
And we've seen it coming.
But the question I want to ask is, where does the chutzpah of it come from?
Why do these people think that they can pull it off, that they can get away with it?
And I want to offer a provisional answer to this, and maybe this is something that we can talk about on the show.
In other words, isn't it the case that the Republicans have always been seen as the party of the nice guys, of the namby-pambys, of the people who want to play it straight?
Of the people who, to put it bluntly, won't do to them what they're willing to do to us.
And if that is true, and I believe in general it is true, now there is the phenomenon of the Trumpster, which is cut from a little different cloth than the traditional Republican.
And it's worth discussing what role the Trumpsters play in the Republican Party.
Are they the hope of the party or the bane of the party?
But nevertheless, the issue is this, that the traditional Republican Party likes to play it straight, likes to play by the rules, is even willing to knife its own guys when they're found to fall short or get involved in a scandal.
The left doesn't care about scandals.
They protect their own side when it's involved in scandals.
We don't.
And so the point I'm trying to make is that they think that they can get away with it because they know or they're confident that we won't do anything about it.
Their view is, hey, we'll knock down your monuments because we know you're not going to knock down our monuments.
And we'll use the deep state against you.
We'll kind of go after Papadopoulos and Flynn and Dinesh D'Souza.
Why?
Because we know that even if you're in power, you wouldn't dream of going after Michael Moore or someone on the left like that.
And we'll pack the court, or at least threaten to pack the court.
Why?
Because you're so straight-laced that even if you controlled all the branches of government, you conservatives, you wouldn't think of packing the court, would you?
You're committed to judges that are based on principle and based upon following the process.
When we on the left pick judges, we just try to make sure that we've got Euclidean certainty that our guys will vote our way on every single critical issue.
And finally, election fraud.
We on the left think, we can cheat.
We can pull it off.
Why?
Because you wouldn't dream of cheating.
You wouldn't dream of harvesting ballots.
You wouldn't dream about doing the kind of stuff that seems routine for us to do.
So the bottom line question I'm raising, it's kind of a moral conundrum, if you will, for the right.
Which is quite simply, what do we do about this situation?
Are we in the situation of Lincoln in 1860 when he realized the Democratic Party had become gangsterized?
And all the old Republican tactics that had sort of been implemented starting in 1854 when the party was founded, that those tactics had to be modified, that a tougher approach was needed.
So the question is, what do we do on our side?
Do we become more like them in order to be able to more effectively fight them?
And if not, isn't it the case that they're going to keep doing it to us?
They're going to keep deploying the deep state.
They're going to continue with digital censorship.
They're going to continue with election cheating.
I think this is the deeper concern, that this is not a sort of one-time calamity.
But that the left is putting the country itself in a calamitous situation.
And if that is so, it requires a thoughtful, but also, I would say, a forceful response.
Debating that response, it seems to me, at all levels, I mean not just the level of this presidential race.
But how do we deal with the monopoly of the media?
How do we deal with the deep state?
How do we deal with academia?
What do we do about Hollywood?
These are all questions we have to figure out.
And this is as good a place as any to start.
We'll be right back.
Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
Last week on Sunday you had the 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...
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 Andrum.
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 full signature recount, that they were able to establish what had really been the will of the voters in that county.

Well, that question must be approached with an adequate understanding of what happened four years ago in 2016. Because it was such a strange occurrence.
Something that no man or woman could have predicted.
How a reality TV star Who was really, really not a member of the Manhattan jet set.
Who was rejected by that jet set for the longest time until a certain member of that community took him under her wing.

Run for political office before, who toyed with the idea of being a mayor or even running for president, decided to come down those escalators with his beautiful wife.

The number to call, 1-8-PRAGER-776.
1-877-243-7776.
I see our board is lighting up, so let's do some calls.
Let's go to Dave in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
Hi.
Dave, go ahead.
I wanted to comment.
Yes, my comment is that we're in the same position in January 2017 that we were in in January 1776. In the ten years before 1776, we were trying to preserve our rights as Englishmen, and we went through all the steps.
We went to Parliament and complained, and we went to the Privy Council and complained, and we went to the King and complained, just like we went to all these different courts and complained, and we went to these state legislatures and complained.
And finally, when the King told us to shove it, we realized, okay, we're not Englishmen anymore.
If we want these rights, we've got to create something different.
And that's where I believe we are at right now, that there's no way that decent people can live with them.
Because, just like you said, I mean, they threaten our family.
In Michigan here, we had a Democrat publicly threaten, a Democrat official in Wayne County publicly threaten or call for racist violence against a Republican official in Wayne County.
How can you live with people like that?
So what you're saying is, and I'd like you to spell it out, is that you're saying that you don't feel that these people are really your fellow citizens.
In other words, this is not a disagreement among citizens of a commonwealth about how to live.
You're saying that they are trying to reduce us, you may say, to a captive population, similar to what the British tried to do to the Americans.
Exactly.
And you're seeing that with the COVID bill.
You've got Texas and Florida, which are doing perfectly fine and don't need any handouts because they're managing their states even with the crisis.
They're managing their states rationally.
You've got California and New York, which are managing their states irrationally and going bankrupt.
And so COVID relief was held up because Californians and New Yorkers in Washington, D.C., held it up so that they could get the federal government, which is to say Florida and Texas, to bail out California and New York.
So you can't live in a thing.
They're always going to bankrupt themselves and destroy everything they touch.
They're always going to bankrupt themselves.
But once they bankrupt themselves, what are they going to do?
They're going to come after us, and they're going to start claiming that...
They're going to start with the white supremacy lie and the white privilege lie and this lie and that lie and whatever lie they have to come up with to justify stealing from us to make up for the things that they've destroyed.
This is a very worrisome situation.
I want to dive into this, and I think in Hour 2 I'm going to get into...
The issue of what our options are in this peculiar situation.
I want to go to Yucca, Arizona, and bring in Kenny, who's been waiting.
Kenny, you're on the line, and what's your question?
Hi, Dinesh.
It's very honorable to be able to speak to you.
I had the honor of asking you a question in Lake Havasu City in 2014 at a Lincoln Day dinner.
And I want to thank you for your clarity of thought.
Most of us lack the ability you have to put things so nicely into words the way you do.
I agree with the previous caller.
It's decent people versus undecent people.
It's enemies, as far as I'm concerned.
Everyone on the left is an enemy.
You can't talk to them.
Over the years, I've tried to talk to them, and there's no reasoning with them.
They have no reason in their souls.
There's just nothing there to talk to.
Whatever happens, it's going to be confrontation.
I want to, when we come back, we're almost out of time with this segment.
When we come back, I'm going to loop in my wife.
You can see I'm making this kind of a family show.
But Debbie grew up in Venezuela.
And something of the same kind of poison crept into the Venezuelan discourse, really shutting it down and ultimately ruining the country.
So when we come back, Debbie and I will talk about Venezuela, socialism, and can you talk to the left?
We'll be right 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...
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 Morgenstern 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.
And here's why I didn't like the movie.
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?
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.

We're going to loop in my wife Debbie momentarily because she has been there and done that.

Are you on?
Hi, honey.

Leftover Indian food.
We were just talking on the last call about the fact that you can't talk to the left, that these are people who don't want to reason with us and not even coexist with us, but want to, you may that these are people who don't want to reason with us and not even coexist with us, but want to, you may say, rule over and I was saying that this is something that you know a lot about
You have a deja vu about this, and you've been talking for quite a long time about the eerie parallels.
Between the left in Venezuela and the left in America.
Can you tell us about how you're feeling about what's going on in America now?
And also take us down the road of what happened in Venezuela that we should be wary about.
Yes.
Well, I, you know, for 10 years, about 10 years, I've been trying to tell whoever will listen that the Democrats, Are identical to the left in Venezuela.
And by left, I mean socialist left, obviously not a moderate Democrat if they still exist.
But the agenda that the Democrats are now trying to push on America is the exact same agenda that Hugo Chavez pushed on Venezuela.
And there are about eight parallels that I can think of right now.
I don't know how much time we have, but...
I can go through them really quickly, ending with the last parallel, which is actually something that is occurring right now in real time here in America.
Let's zoom in for a moment to election fraud.
And I want to say how odd I feel, because in laying out some of the parallels in our movie Trump Card, you had actually pressed on me, let's include election fraud.
And I said to you, well, actually, I don't think that's a parallel.
I think that may be a difference because you had said to me that in America, people cheat before the election.
In other words, illegals voting attempts to register dead people to vote.
But you said in Venezuela the cheating occurs after the election, and little did I know.
In other words, you said the cheating occurs in the vote counting.
So can you say a little word about how the cheating has occurred in Venezuela and why you're feeling a sense of deja vu about that now?
Right.
So recently I've talked to some Venezuelan friends of mine who actually said, Debbie, no.
In Venezuela they did have dead people voting.
They did have Disney characters voting.
But, you know, it wasn't large scale.
Hugo Chavez in 2004 was recalled.
His first election was in 1998. And he won by a landslide because he convinced the electorate that he was the right guy for the time.
You know, he ran on hope and change, and people like my grandparents, who were not socialists, by the way, and didn't want socialism, voted for him because they thought he wasn't a socialist.
He went on talk shows, he went on news outlets, and so much is said so, that he wasn't a socialist.
So, unfortunately, when he got in...
He started doing some very socialist things, like confiscating private property, expropriating businesses, attacking freedom of speech, you know, all your typical leftist things, right?
So a woman by the name of Maria Corina Machado, who I interviewed for an op-ed that I did in El American, Was actually one of the people that formed a voter integrity group at the time because they wanted to recall Hugo Chavez,
and they did so in 2004. When Hugo Chavez got word of this, he got very scared because he knew that he was not popular anymore.
He knew that in order to push his socialist agenda, he was going to have to do some major cheating to stay in.
So he contracted a group of Venezuelans, I think three of them, who started a company called Smartmatic.
And he asked them to guarantee a fraudulent election for him, that he needed for them to come up with a way to somehow switch votes and make sure that he won that election.
And that is exactly what he did.
In 2004, he ran.
They had done various exit polls that all pointed toward the direction of the opposition winning that recall election.
And in the middle of the night, around 2 or 3 in the morning, the vote count suddenly changed, and he came out victorious.
He got 60% of the vote, and the opposition referendum got 40% of the vote.
And they were just...
Heartbroken.
They couldn't believe that happened.
Maria Corina knew it had to have been fraud, and they investigated the fraud, but the Smartmatic machines are, they actually do count on the, you know, consolidating, making sure that the paper trail is the same, right?
Well, in order for them not to even go there, they had to get rid of the paper trail.
So, unfortunately, that's what happened.
And when Jimmy Carter and the Carter Center and George Soros' foundation went down there to, you know, look to make sure that there wasn't any fraud, they only actually looked into about 25% of the machines that had been counted.
And in those machines, A lot of the paper had already been, you know, torn up or taken.
So you're saying that the paper trail was sort of buried and the machines sort of were able to cover their tracks.
We're going to go to a break, but when we come back, let's dive into this a little bit more and ask whether this election, this fraudulent election in Venezuela was a test run for what was going to come to America 16 years later.
We'll be right back.
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.
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.

virus.
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.
Francisco has a question that bears on Venezuela, so I'd like to bring in David to ask his question and then have Debbie answer it.
David, you're on.
Go ahead.
Oh, yeah, how are you?
There were a couple of things.
Remember that George Washington of South America was from Venezuela, and Simon Bolivar, and I find it...
It's kind of incredible to imagine that Venezuela is being accused of going socialist or becoming a colonizer.
But if you know about Venezuela, they have the biggest pot of oil in South America.
And if you remember, I guess it was late last year, there was a big economic side, and Putin was standing there, and all of a sudden, Mr. Bonesaw walks into the room.
And the two of them do the biggest high-five, slapping hands and carrying on.
And it turns out that they are trying to crush Venezuela because Venezuela has the biggest pot of oil in the Western Hemisphere.
And so when you start looking at the United States trying to attack Venezuela, it really means that the United States is kissing up to Saudi Arabia and Russia in order to keep oil prices high.
And instead of the United States buying oil from South America through Venezuela, we're throwing away competition and we're trying to crush competition in order to keep two dictatorships alive.
Okay.
Debbie, can you talk about Venezuela and the legacy of Bolivar and also the oil wealth of Venezuela, which makes the fall of Venezuela particularly tragic?
It's an oil-rich country.
Yes.
Well, Venezuela used to belong to OPEC, and they were a player in the oil industry for sure, especially when I was a child.
I was born in the late 60s, and it was booming then because of the oil, but it has not done that in the last 15 or so years.
I don't believe that the United States wants Venezuela's oil.
We have plenty of our own oil.
But I do believe that Russia, China, and Iran are the players that we should be most concerned about when it comes to Venezuela because not only does Venezuela have a very large oil reserve, but they also have minerals that are extremely rich, like gold, like uranium, platinum, all kinds of earthly minerals that are very, very valuable.
And these countries want that enriched uranium.
They want the gold.
So I'm not concerned about the United States.
I think the United States should have been helping Venezuela get rid of these tyrants because Nicolás Maduro is essentially their puppet.
And as long as they control him, I don't think we're going to get rid of him.
That's number one.
Honey, we gotta run.
We're sorry we're at the end of the first hour and I hate to cut you off.
But what you're saying is it's a foreign policy.
It's a foreign policy threat.
We'll be right back.
Yes, absolutely.
We'll be right back.
Yes, absolutely.
We'll be right back.

What do you make of a city like Minneapolis, Minnesota that slashed the police budget by millions of dollars last night?
It was a unanimous vote.
These kooks originally voted to abolish the police department altogether.
I'm going to give you some numbers.
Because this is very real here in Georgia, too.
How pro-police do you think Raphael Warnock is?
How pro-police do you think John Ossoff is?
How pro-police do you think today's Democrats are?
In Minneapolis, where we have a lot of listeners, here are some numbers that I want to share with you.
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.

What could we have done to change the outcome now?
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 here's or her ballot.
Now, obviously, assisting somebody filling out here's 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 do 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.

This is a hard thing for us to admit.

Hour two of the Dennis Prager Show.
I'm Dinesh D'Souza, sitting in for Dennis Prager.
I mentioned socialism, but what kind of socialism are we dealing with in America today?
We think of socialism as an economic phenomenon.
We think of the danger of socialism as the danger of economic confiscation.
They want to take our stuff.
They want confiscatory taxation, burdensome regulation.
If you read Marx, he talks primarily about economics, about an impoverished and immiserated working class rising up to throw off its economic oppressors.
Now, interestingly, in America, if you meet a socialist or you go to the Convention of the Democratic Socialists, You're likely to find people who care more about abortion than the minimum wage.
People who care more about the transgender bathroom or the transgender athlete than they do about universal basic income.
In other words, what we're dealing with here is a socialism that transcends economics and appears to incorporate, And part of the agenda of this socialism is to take over cultural institutions one by one, a process that we've seen in America and has a direct bearing on our politics.
Why?
Because if this were a straight fight between Republicans and Democrats, I think Republicans would win most, if not all the time.
But the reason we don't win most, if not all the time, is because the other side has academia, and they have the media, and they have the entertainment industry, which includes Hollywood, but isn't limited to Hollywood.
It also has Broadway.
It has the music industry.
It has virtually all the comedians.
So you've got these cultural forces that are on the other side bearing down upon us.
And the latest, perhaps, entry into this part of the media, digital media, which comes, of course, with this digital censorship.
Now, how did we get all this?
How did the left take over these institutions?
How did we let them?
What made them think of doing this, and when did they start about it?
I think that the roots of this actually go back, at least in conception, almost a century.
It was the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci who was pondering the question of why Marxism had not arrived in the world.
In other words, Karl Marx had predicted that the working class would revolt.
Would overthrow its oppressors, would take power.
And yet, here's Gramsci writing in the early part of the 20th century.
It had been many decades since Marx made these predictions.
And Marx's predictions had not come true, not in Germany, not in England, not in any industrialized country.
In fact, nowhere in the world.
And they have not come true in that form to this day.
And so Gramsci thought about why is that?
Why has the working class not revolted?
And his answer was a very strange but interesting one.
He said the reason is that even though the working class is oppressed and would normally revolt, the working class has assimilated what he called bourgeois culture.
In other words, he said the working man isn't just a worker.
He's also a husband or a parent.
In other words, he's part of a family, probably a patriarchal family.
And also, this working-class guy is a member of a church, and every Sunday he gets indoctrinated in Christian doctrine by a pastor or by a priest.
And then he probably belongs to a bowling league or goes to sports games or is part of an organization like perhaps the Rotary Club.
So what I'm getting at is that Gramsci said that it's bourgeois culture.
The culture created by capitalism, but a culture that incorporates Judaism and Christianity.
This culture then shapes the values and shapes the behavior of the working class and turns the working class into a budding capitalist.
That the working class guy doesn't want to overthrow the capitalist class.
He actually wants to find a way.
To join the capitalist class.
And this, Gramsci says, is delaying, is putting off, perhaps permanently, the socialist revolution.
So, what's the solution?
Well, very simple.
The solution is we, the left, the socialists, the communists, we have to take over the culture.
We have to indoctrinate our way.
And what this means is that we've got to do a lot of work.
We've got to undermine the family.
We've got to undermine the churches.
We've got to set up new types of churches that promote new types of values.
We've got to take over the media.
We've got to take over the schools and the universities.
We've got to replace their curriculum with our curriculum.
So, I mention all of this because it all seems so eerily familiar now, and that this project, which was advertised almost a century ago, Really got going in the 1960s, when a whole generation of young leftists moved into education, moved into academia, and began the work of taking over these institutions, a work that seems today to be largely complete.
And I think a lot of the things that we're living with now have their roots in this leftist takeover of cultural institutions.
Can we take these institutions back?
It's really hard to see how we would do that.
Let's start with the universities.
I mean, is it really practical for conservatives to retake 200 or 500 or the 2000 universities in the country?
Is it really possible to recapture the Ivy League?
Is it possible to infiltrate and overthrow the sort of leftist hegemony, if not monopoly, in these institutions?
I think that that is a difficult, if not impossible, project.
New institutions.
New institutions that take advantage of technology.
New institutions that can compete effectively with the left in education.
Not just higher education, but also elementary and secondary education.
New forms of media.
And I don't just mean cable channels.
I don't just mean talk radio on TV. We need to compete with...
With PBS and CBS and NBC and NPR, National Public Radio, the media reach of the left is huge.
It penetrates not just the 5 million people, for example, that the Fox News channel reaches, but it penetrates 30 and 40 and 80 million homes, and we need to figure out ways to do that also.
We also need to figure out ways to create our own And by this I mean not just our own documentary films, but our own feature films.
A little bit later, in Hour 3, I want to talk to Cyrus Naraste, who's the guy that Debbie and I approached a little more than a year ago now.
To produce our first feature film, a film called Infidel, a political thriller.
Not really a niche film, not a niche Christian movie or a niche conservative movie, but a mainstream political thriller.
And we did this.
Why?
It might seem unrelated to the project of winning the next election or retaking the House, but it's part of competing with the left on the territory of culture, where they feel that they are supreme, where they feel that they Remember that in Hollywood, the big guy is not Michael Moore.
Well, the big guy is Michael Moore, a very big guy.
But the real leaders in Hollywood are people like Oliver Stone and Steven Spielberg.
In other words, it's the feature film, not the documentary film, that is the gold standard of Hollywood.
And I think long term...
Theater is in a little bit of a hard way now under COVID, but there's going to be, entertainment is certainly going to come back, and come back in a big way, and we've got to figure out ways in which we can be part of these institutions.
This is, by the way, an agenda that goes beyond Trump, but it involves Trump, and I think Trump can actually play a big role here, but it affects every election, and it affects the way that our young people are raised, and it affects the way in which the left has been poisoning the culture.
We've got to figure out a way to stop this, and we stop it not just by complaining about it.
We stop it not just by mounting a critique of it.
We stop it ultimately by building our own institutions, which constitutes in some weird way a rebuilding of America itself.

I was really excited to have George and Simona Papadopoulos in my movie Trump Card, which, by the way, is on video on demand now.
We weren't able to release in theaters because theater, the theatrical picture is just so hazy.
But it's in your home.
And it's on a whole bunch of different platforms.
I prefer you watch it on your big screen TV because it was made for the big screen.
But you can really watch it on any device.
TrumpCardTheMovie.com, that's the website.
And then, very recently, George Papadopoulos got that phone call that I myself got in the middle of 2018. It's the presidential pardon phone call, and I'm excited to ask George about it.
But even more, I want to talk to George and Simona about why they needed a pardon.
What was the heinous crime that they committed that required a pardon at the highest level?
Part of what I want to show in talking to them is that these pardons aren't...
Forgiveness for horrific offenses, but they are the writing of original injustices that would otherwise be uncorrected.
So let's bring George and Simona on.
George, if I can start with you.
First of all, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
Tell us all about the pardon.
How did it go down?
Well, thanks so much for having both Simona and I. It's a great pleasure.
You're absolutely right.
I guess we are part of this elite group now of ex-politically persecuted Americans who had to feel the wrath of the Obama administration simply for having a different viewpoint and wanting to think a little differently and or support a different candidate.
And essentially what was going on is we had a small inkling that it was coming.
But I purposely stayed out of the process, and Simona, of course, was much more vocal about the pardon than I was, where she was going back years talking about why it was imperative that I should be pardoned, and she could talk about that herself.
But we were just basically on the couch, having a relaxed day, preparing for Christmas.
And all of a sudden I learned that I was pardoned.
It was an incredible moment.
And what was even more special to me and Simona was that just hundreds of Americans out there, God-loving Americans who have been following this story for years, who have been praying for both of us in the country, reached out, have been sending letters, and were so happy that I felt that it was this collective relief that had happened to myself and Roger Stone and General Flynn.
So it was a beautiful moment.
Something that I will never forget.
Simona, tell how you felt when this happened.
Was it the culmination of something that you had pushed for and hoped for?
And how did you feel when the bell finally rang on the pardon?
Hi, Dinesh.
Thanks for having us.
Well, my first reaction has been like crying of joy because I've been asking for that for two years.
Remember me on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC. Already in 2018, before George even served these sentences in Wisconsin, trying to ask President Trump to repair these injustices.
As you said before, when you mentioned pardon, people maybe think it's a pardon for some major crime.
Here we are talking about misremembering the date in which George We met with one of the key players of the Russia hoax, and this player is still not appearing.
I don't know if people, listeners are familiar with the story, but this person has not been proved to be any Russian agent, and George basically had this felony for misremembering the date in which he met with this guy.
But the FBI never proved the relevance of this inaccurate In a curiosity in remembering the date or what else.
So, I really thought it was deeply unfair and totally unjust.
And, you know, President Trump made wrong rights and I'm deeply grateful to him for coming up, clearing George's record and clearing the records of people that have been targeted politically, like yourself, like George, like many others.
This is much bigger than a legal case.
It's a real political case.
So I was overwhelmed with joy and ready to start a new chapter and put this behind and keep fighting for what's right.
Georgia, I'd like to pick up on something Simona said.
She said that they kind of got you for the crime of lying to the authorities.
And the lying in this case wasn't some attempted elaborate deceit.
What they typically do in these cases, and I believe something similar with Flynn.
They interview you for a long period of time, and then they find two statements that appear to be inconsistent or a lapse in memory, and they go, gotcha!
And so the idea here I want to bring out, and I'd like you to comment on this, is that they tried to get you on other things, and they couldn't.
And so they essentially found this pretext which really shows the vulnerability of just about any American to the accordion book of statutes that allows these federal prosecutors to get you on something if they want to.
Well, in your great movie, Trump Card, and the interview that both Simona and I gave during your movie, you went into some details of some of the myriad shady intelligence operatives that were basically forced into my life almost immediately upon leaving the Ben Carson campaign and working on the Donald Trump campaign.
And it's that exact logic of mine, and I think many now with the overwhelming evidence that's been coming out since new files have been declassified that suggest that the Obama administration was targeting the campaign and individuals working with this campaign going as early back as the spring of 2016 and not the summer of 2016. It
shocked me and many others who have been following this story that my phone calls with the vice president of Fox News were being wiretapped before the FBI ever even came to interview me.
And what that actually means is exactly what you just said.
The FBI knew everything about my life.
They had access to my phone calls.
They were wiretapping me and my emails.
They knew who these operatives were.
Because now, of course, we have the information that's been declassified that they were wiretapping me and working with the FBI. And they went into this so-called interview acting as if I was there to help them in some sort of national security case, which any American who loves this country, if the FBI tells you that you can help national security, especially if you're a political...
I'm sorry to say we're about to hit a hard break, but if I can summarize, you are a seal in a sea full of sharks.
Thanks for joining us, George and Simona.
Glad to have you on the show.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.

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.
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 the full signature recount, that they were able to establish what had really been the will of the voters in that county.

I'd like to go to Maggie in San Francisco, who's a filmmaker and wants to talk about making movies.
Go ahead, Maggie.
Hi, Dinesh.
Thank you so much for putting me on the show.
I've actually met you a couple times.
You're a big hero of mine.
So I work as a filmmaker, and I wanted to comment on what you had to say about creating our own content and media.
Because I work in this field, I feel like it is so hard, and I feel like it's nearly insurmountable, in part because we just simply don't have the resources on the right, and we also don't have the talent pool.
So when it comes to trying to create projects, I feel like there's a couple people who can kind of get it done, but it's a handful of people.
It's yourself, it's Jason Jones, there's a couple others, but...
And then the other thing is that one thing that I've come up across is when trying to fundraise, there's so many people who don't want to stick their neck out.
They don't want to put their name on a conservative movie because there's this fear of cancel culture, of getting audited, getting targeted politically.
So I guess, I don't know, I'm not as optimistic as you are, and I guess I just wonder what is it that we're actually going to be able to do?
Maggie's raised some very important problems facing conservative filmmakers that are not faced by liberal filmmakers.
And I want to agree with you, Maggie, by saying this, that, you know, if you're Michael Moore, you go to a studio and the studio goes, here's $10 million.
And then Michael Moore goes out and makes a movie.
And then they tell him, hey, thanks, you're going to be on The View on Monday, and then you'll be on Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, and Bill Maher wants you on on Wednesday, and on and on it goes.
In other words, the path is so smooth, and the only task of the filmmaker is one of making the film.
Now, on the conservative side, you need legal expertise to produce legal documents, and you need investors who are going to put up the money, and then you've got to go out and make the movie.
And once you do, and even if you do, you then have to figure out a way to market it, because you'll get no help from the mainstream media, no help from The View, and you won't be on Bill Maher or Jimmy Fallon.
So I think you're quite right, Maggie, that this is pushing the stone up the hill for our side.
And this point, I think, applies generically not just to movies, but pretty much to culture in general.
Because think about it.
If you're a young conservative, let's just say you're You're in your 20s and you're a terrifically talented young comedian and you want to find out, you want to build your skills, you want to do like the Beatles did eight days a week.
You want to cultivate your talent so that you can become the next Jimmy Fallon, let's say.
But how do you do that?
If improvs won't take you, if you get censored on digital media, how do you find your audience?
How do you do the practice that you need to get better?
Because you're not going to start out mature.
You're going to start out with talent, but raw.
And you need to develop that talent.
So we need to figure out ways to create forums.
For people on our side to get that kind of support.
And I'm not saying it's an easy task.
I didn't mean to convey a kind of facile optimism about it.
I think this is a difficult job.
But let's remember that the left faced this exact task when they set about it.
They needed to create the infrastructure for them to do what they did.
They needed to figure out ways to get distribution for their movies.
They needed to figure out ways to get their comedy out there.
And they did it.
So in a sense, we've got to take a page out of their book and do what they do, only better.
And I think it's very important to convince people who have resources on our side to invest in this, because you're ultimately investing not just in politics, but in the larger cultural battleground of which politics is only a small part.
So, very good point, Maggie.

Well, that question must be approached.
With an adequate understanding of what happened four years ago in 2016. Because it was such a strange occurrence.
Something that no man or woman could have predicted.
How a reality TV star who was really, really not a member of the Manhattan jet set, who was rejected by that jet set for the longest time until a certain member of that community took him under her wing.

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 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 on a rampage.

Is there anybody in the business of film criticism who you admire for their... ...studio
with me?
my daughter, Danielle D'Souza Gill, age 25, graduate as I was of Dartmouth College, and author of a new book called The Choice, The Abortion Divide in America.
Danielle, why did you write a book about abortion?
What is the significance or importance of that topic?
Why now?
Abortion is really the underlying issue that I think kind of goes beneath the surface behind a lot of our other political issues.
If we look back to 2016 and even why the left was so opposed to Trump, I think they really feared that he would remake our courts, that he would have a lasting impact even beyond his four or eight years.
And if we look at even why they so vehemently opposed Kavanaugh, we see that they knew he would be a swing vote in Roe v.
Wade and, of course, following with Amy Coney Barrett.
And now they've shifted to a new narrative, which is packing the court, Stealing elections and all of that, but we know that abortion really shapes our culture and shapes the kind of country we live in and the left knows that they benefit when abortion is really celebrated, which is the message that they've been pushing.
Why is the left so attached to abortion?
It seems like there has been a movement on the left from emphasizing Abortion being safe, legal, and rare, or maybe having the choice to have an abortion, to now abortion as a positive good.
Why would someone be so seemingly ghoulish as to see abortion as a positive good?
What's good about it?
I think the left realized that the safe, legal, and rare narrative that they were using, in some cases, kind of acknowledge it.
Acknowledge the sadness of abortion and the fact that it is taking a human life.
And I think once you go down that road, it then becomes...
A little bit questionable about why that door is even opened in the first place.
And so I think that they knew they sort of had to shift their narrative into saying, no, this actually isn't a person.
This isn't a human.
This is a cluster of cells.
This is a blob.
And regardless of, even if it's at the nine-month point, we cannot give this human any kind of rights until birth.
And we can really celebrate abortion even at that point because this is the woman's choice.
This is her body.
So I think that in a weird way, when they acknowledge really just how sad abortion is, they know that they lose ground, and then it really becomes impossible for someone to say, well, what about six months?
What about three months?
What about all of that?
It's kind of all or nothing, because we're talking about taking a human life here.
What would you say to answer the argument that abortion is a cluster of cells?
I mean, I guess the fetus is a cluster of cells, just as you and I are a cluster of cells.
Why is that argument wrong?
Well, it's really just an argument used in order to dehumanize the child in the womb, to make them seem like they're basically nothing.
But in reality, the child has a heartbeat as little as 18 days into the pregnancy.
We know that they have their brain waves in the first trimester as well.
So already we see two key vital signs.
And even people who are in a coma, people who are brain dead, people who have pacemakers, they don't have the same vital signs that this child already has at this point.
But, of course, the left doesn't actually want to dive into science.
They don't want to dive into the reality of what happens in these different trimesters.
We can easily read what to expect when you're expecting to see, wow, the child's growing so rapidly.
Here it's the size of a melon.
Here it's this heavy.
Here it's hiccuping.
It's toe-pointing.
So we see all of those things whenever we step out of the abortion debate.
debate.
We see the left acknowledge these kind of clear indications of humanhood and personhood.
And that's when the left then kind of pivots to saying, well, they don't have life goals, and they don't have memories, and they don't have all of this.
And of course, neither do newborns, and neither do young children, and many teenagers and older people as well.
One of the points you made in the movie Trump Card, which I think was very striking, is you talked about Facebook, and you talked about friends of yours who are at the age where they're becoming pregnant and how Outside the abortion context, it is taken for granted that we have a child in the womb.
Can you say more about that?
Yeah, I would just say when you go onto Facebook, when you go on Instagram and so on, and you see an ultrasound...
People like it.
They comment, congratulations, family of three.
They do gender reveals, baby girl, baby boy, and so on.
So everyone knows outside of the abortion debate exactly what is happening in pregnancy, what an ultrasound is, and so on.
And it's only when we're in the abortion debate does the left really try to muddy the waters and make it seem as though what is happening is a mystery or is, as they say, a blob, a nothing, a cluster of cells.
And so I think that we have to really point out kind of their lack of logic and lack of even looking into science when it comes to this.
Is this why the people at Planned Parenthood don't like to show women the ultrasound Because if you were to see it, today there is the technology to be able to peek inside the womb and see what's going on.
It would seem like that alone would go a long way to settling the debate, wouldn't it?
Absolutely.
Statistics have shown us that every time a woman who goes in for an abortion sees her ultrasound, she's much more likely to walk out of the clinic, not get the abortion, once she sees what's happening there.
And that's why the left tries to strike down laws whenever Republicans present a bill saying that they want to make sure a woman can see her ultrasound or, let's say, propose a 24-hour waiting period for an abortion.
The left says, no, we don't want you to see the ultrasound.
We don't want you to have a waiting period and go home to think about it.
To talk to your family members.
To talk to your pastor and so on.
Just head straight in.
Get the abortion.
Don't have any facts about the procedure itself or the child in the womb.
Just do it immediately.
And that's really where the left benefits.
And ironically, they are not actually in favor of either women having knowledge about any of this or even women's health care regulations.
They're not in favor of having a wide enough hallway to fit a stretcher should they need emergency room care.
They also oppose laws saying that abortion clinics have to be near an emergency room within so many miles.
They say, no, we don't need any of that.
Oftentimes abortions happen in these clinics, and they don't have the kind of medical facilities to really care for a woman were she to have an emergency situation and need to get to an emergency room.
She might not be able to.
When we come back, I want to talk further to Danielle D'Souza-Gill, We're talking about, I want to ask her about the future of Roe versus Wade.
Do we now have a conservative Supreme Court?
Do we have a secure, perhaps not 6-3, but perhaps 5-4 majority?
Is abortion as a legal right, as a constitutional right, doomed in America?
We'll be right back.
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 colleagues, 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.

The lockdowns have killed dreams, ambitions, and human beings through suicide and other means.

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.
He was, 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.
Thank you.
1-877-243-7776 I was talking to my daughter, Danielle D'Souza Gill, about the future of abortion.
Where, Danielle, is this debate going, and where do you want it to go?
How do we end the scourge of abortion in America?
I see there being really growing support for the pro-life movement.
A lot of conservatives who might not have considered themselves pro-life before I think are beginning to jump on the pro-life bandwagon.
Also a lot of people who might not even identify as conservative are starting to kind of raise their eyebrows when it comes to this just because I think our culture is so focused on including people who are kind of Marginalized.
At least that is kind of the idea.
These children are really the most marginalized of all.
They have no voice of their own.
And so we see that this mass killing that's going on every single year in America, usually around 800,000, even could be up to a million abortions a year, is really quite horrific.
And I think that the more we talk about it, the more that people know about this, the more likely they are to become pro-life because every fact, every kind of information that comes out there really shows people just how awful abortion is.
You used the phrase mass killing, a little bit of a startling phrase, because we think of mass killing in terms of something that happens in Rwanda.
Say more about why you call abortion mass killing, because the killing isn't occurring en masse, right?
I suppose it's occurring one by one, but are you talking about the collective impact of abortion in America?
Why mass killing?
Yes, it is one by one, but they have people one after another going into a Planned Parenthood clinic, and they are killing each child one after another.
And as I said, it does add up to hundreds of thousands of abortions per year.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the country, so whenever they act like they're actually about other women's health care services and all of that, we say, well, why are you performing hundreds of thousands of abortions a year?
Come back to where this is going.
What can we hope for?
If the tide is turning morally in a minute or so that we have left, what do you hope is going to happen next?
I hope that Roe v.
Wade will be overturned, and I think that's just the first step that will send this issue back to the states.
So New York, California, very liberal areas will likely have similar abortion laws to what they have now, but states that want to pass heartbeat bills and so on will be able to, and they won't then be struck down by the court as they are now.
And I think long term we need a federal ban, we need a constitutional amendment.
Similar to other amendments, recognizing the personhood of every human being.
Every human is a person.
And once we kind of separate humanhood from personhood, we see that that's when torture kind of ensues.
And that's the world we've been living in.
That's the America we've been living in when it comes to abortion.
Daniel, thank you very much.

Last week on Sunday you had the 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 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 full signature recount, that they were able to establish what had really been the will of the voters in that county.

Thanks.
Peace.
I wonder as we peek over our shoulder into 2021, what path, if any, is available to Trump to press his case forward?
Frankly, for me, I see only one, and it is in Trump's own hands to take it, or whether to take it.
I've been watching Trump in recent days fulminating, and I think with some justice, against the court and against wayward Republicans and against the media, all of whom appear to be ducking.
The issue of taking command, you may say, of the situation.
But what about Trump himself?
Sidney Powell, in meeting with Trump recently, evidently made the case to Trump that Trump has the power.
Under existing law, there's no need for some emergency declaration.
There's no need for martial law.
There's no need to overthrow the Constitution.
There's no need, as Lincoln did, to suspend habeas corpus.
None of that.
Trump has the presidential authority now to seize control of the voting machines, seize control to the degree that he can of the ballots.
And have them looked at, have them audited, have them examined to see, are these machines that are programmable to switch votes?
Are these machines that can be plugged into the internet and votes, vote tabulations, interfered with or altered?
It seems to me that if something like this is not done, and we go into a Biden inauguration, while never knowing, while never having the case even aired, as to whether or not there was widespread election fraud.
I mean, it seems indubitable to me that there was fraud.
I listened to the hearings coming out of Pennsylvania, coming out of Michigan, coming out of Arizona.
What actually struck me was the eerie similarity in the shenanigans described in all these cases.
And of course, what that suggests is that these shenanigans are not independent of each other.
It's not that all these counties decided on their own to do exactly the same things.
In some ways, this is analogous to what happened with the deep state and Obama.
In other words, when it came to targeting...
Trump and Trump's allies like Flynn, is it really conceivable that Clapper and Comey and Brennan and Strzok and Page all went off on their own independent expeditions?
Oh yeah, let's get this guy Trump.
No.
Somebody coordinated that.
Somebody gave the order.
And we now know that the initiator was quite likely Hillary.
And the head of the rattlesnake, you might say, is Obama.
Obama gave the order.
The others were merely carrying it out.
And the same with the election fraud.
The election fraud, if it occurred on a big scale, would have to be, to some degree, coordinated or organized.
And it's to me terrifying that we can go forward without even having this case heard, without even knowing what was in fact the case.
Now I guess we could find out after the fact, after the election, and then we would know for sure.
But it is better to find out when you can actually affect the outcome.
It is better to find out now.
It's better not to set up a precedent in which an election can be rigged.
I mean, I can't think in my adult lifetime when there has been such an across-the-board breakdown of faith in basic institutions.
And remarkably, the other side is very cavalier about this.
I think the reason for this is because they know that they're doing something.
We're doing it, and it's almost as if they're daring us to do something about it.
See, normally someone who's on the winning side of any kind of contest is very eager to demonstrate that the process was fair.
You know, if you're LeBron James, you're considered the best basketball player of your age, and someone says, well, you know, the thing about you, LeBron, is that every time you go up to dunk the ball into the basket, the basket is dropped by six inches.
In other words, you have an unfair advantage.
He, more than anybody else, No, don't be ridiculous.
In other words, I want you to see that the process is fair so that by a fair process you can recognize my legitimacy and my worth and my excellence.
So if Biden won fair and square, you'd think that Biden would be in the forefront saying, yes, audit the machines, do signature verifications on the mail and ballots.
But of course, no.
Biden is keeping a kind of eerie silence about this.
The whole mood on the left is not even that the election was fair, but rather, let's move on.
You know, it's almost like the guy telling his battered wife, yeah, I broke your nose and I battered your eye and you've got a black mark and you're wearing sunglasses, but you know what?
Put a smile on your face.
Let's move on.
Everything's going to be okay.
No, it's not going to be okay.
It's actually never going to be okay.
And this is the situation that we are in.
As a country.
Now, long term, where do we go with all this?
I mentioned earlier, and I want to press this thought a little bit further, because it's a little bit of a radical idea, and I offer it here just for consideration and for discussion.
And that's this.
Isn't it a fact that long term, if we are not going to live in their America, if we don't want to be forced To go to schools where they will indoctrinate our children.
If we don't want to go to universities that we subsidize, that will poison the values of our sons and daughters against their parents.
If we don't want to live and consume for entertainment and amusement a degenerate culture in which they want to undermine, if not poison, our values, what are we going to do?
Well, I think what we have to do is create separate institutions.
We have to create legitimately a separate America and live in it.
And then perhaps thanks to the Second Amendment, guard it.
Protect that culture from the other side.
And this is a tall order because it involves building institutions that will take a lot of work to build.
We will have to have comedians and laugh at their jokes.
And not at the jokes of Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live.
Because we don't find those jokes funny.
We can't laugh at them, even if we want to.
So, ultimately, this is a recipe for, I would call it, an institutional secession within America.
We're not seceding from the country.
We're not trying to create a separate country.
But we're creating a country within a country.
And to some degree, we already have it.
And what I mean by that is that we often talk, and we do too on our side, in generic rhetoric, we talk about the American flag, we talk about the national anthem, we use the phrase we, but we now have to pause in a way we haven't had to before and ask, who is the we that we are talking about?
Do we really have an American flag?
I mean, it's our flag, yes, but is it their flag?
What if they don't want to salute it?
What if they want to burn it?
We have a national anthem, but is it really the national anthem, or is it our anthem?
They don't want to sing it.
They want to take a knee.
Are we going to force them?
So we've reached a stage where even the basic symbols of America, and symbols, of course, aren't just symbols.
They stand for other things, in this case, for American exceptionalism.
And American exceptionalism is what the other side doesn't want.
And the things in American history that we consider to be triumphs, they consider to be failures.
So we've got a very odd situation in which you've got two groups of people who are, to some degree, no longer friends, now trying to subsist under the same American roof.
And I think that not just in this election, but over the next several months and perhaps even years, we're going to have to figure out what to do about this very peculiar situation.
It's no longer Reagan's America.
I'm not sure if we're quite in Lincoln's America.
I said in the movie Trump Card, we're in a domestic Cold War.
And it's a domestic Cold War against a domestic opponent.
Let's remember the Reagan Cold War was against a foreign opponent, and it's relatively easy to bring a country together when it's facing an international threat.
We do have international forces, China, radical Islam involved in American politics, but they now work through the Democratic Party.
The remarkable thing is that our enemies abroad now work with our enemies at home to try to undo us and that is the reality of our situation.

Trending now on the Larry Alder show What could we have done to change the outcome now?
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 do 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.
Then 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?

Is that 2020 will really go down as the year?
I'm going to go down as the year.
Well, a year and a half or so ago, I guess, maybe two years ago, my wife Debbie and I sat down and watched a movie in our media room called The Stoning of Soraya M. It was made by a filmmaker named Cyrus Naraste, an Iranian-American, a Christian, and it's a film set in a small town in Iran.
In which a young woman is falsely accused of adultery by her nefarious husband and then brought into prosecution by the value system of the village, which threatens to stone her for her offense.
And the remarkable thing about this movie is that knowing very little about small Iranian villages and even very little about Sharia law at the time, I found myself just drawn into the ecosystem of this narrative, identifying with this young woman.
A story beautifully told and made by a filmmaker of obviously first-rate skills.
And so fast forward to when Debbie and I were concocting the idea for a feature film involving a patriotic American who is ensnared in the politics of radical Islam.
And our first thought was, let's get Cyrus to make this movie.
And the result is Infidel, a movie that was acclaimed in the theater, It's now available on demand.
Kind of a great movie for the Christmas season for the obvious reason that it's about a man who puts his faith on the line.
And it's made by a guy who knows how to shoot this kind of a movie.
This movie was shot in Jordan and has a kind of authenticity to it.
One little funny side note I've got to mention before I bring Cyrus on to talk about it is that I'm accustomed to getting to making movies that are acclaimed by the audience, 85-90% audience rating, but then 7% from the critics.
Now, we know that the 7% is because it's a political hit.
These are people who are sort of lashing out at the politics of my earlier movies, whether it's Obama's America or Hillary's America.
Or the latest one, Trump Card.
But with Infidel, even though my name is on the movie, the critics liked it.
And the critical rating for this movie is 55 to 60%, which is shocking to me.
I've never had that kind of a rating.
But I think it's a tribute to Cyrus' remarkable movie-making skills that we've got this movie, which we're very proud of, Infidel.
And if you haven't watched it, you should.
It's also a way of supporting conservatives moving into the feature film territory.
Remember that the most aggressive politics of propaganda for Hollywood is not just in documentaries.
It's in feature films.
And with that little prelude, let's bring on Cyrus Naraste.
Cyrus, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
What would you tell people about why they need to see your new movie, Infidel?
Well, thanks for having me, Dinesh.
It's our new movie, and Infidel, first and foremost, I think is an entertaining thriller.
I think people can watch it and get ensnared in this sort of thrilling and surprising and twisting story and get caught up in the narrative and run with it because fundamentally that's really why we watch movies.
Absolutely People forget that.
They'll sometimes come to me and say, hey, Dinesh, make a movie about Obamacare or make a movie about immigration, and they think of movies as messaging, but you think of movies as entertainment.
And I think that's why people go to the theater, don't they?
Cyrus, let me ask you this question.
Can you tell the story of how you got and we got Jim Caviezel to play the lead role in this movie?
Well, you know, we made this movie on a tight budget.
And we were working from a very tight budget.
And I didn't think we could afford Jim Caviezel.
He said to us, well, gee, you know, whenever I think about this story, I think of Jim Caviezel in the lead role.
But I stupidly, and maybe smartly in a subtextual way, sent the script to Jim, offering him a smaller role with the idea that at least he'd be familiar with the script and maybe he'd do a smaller role because we couldn't afford him for the lead role.
Of course, Jim came back to me and said, hey, I want to play the lead guy.
And thankfully, well, I checked in with you guys, and we all said okay, and of course, and that's how we got Jim.
Now, Jim became the face of the movie and the voice of the movie, and he went on the Shannon Bream show, I believe it was, when Infidel was in the theater.
And he made a little bit of a startling statement that I want to quote to you and have you react to it.
He was sort of asked if this is your kind of conventional sort of Christian movie, you might say, the niche Christian movie.
And he said somewhat bluntly that this is no candy-ass Christian movie.
That's quoting Jim Caviezel, end quote.
Is that a correct description of Infidel?
And why would you make a movie that is a movie about faith, but make it in the gritty style that evidently...
Yes, Jim very much approves of that.
One thing that Jim and I have talked about extensively is that too many Christian films are sort of made for the choir, made by the choir, for the choir.
And we have to venture into the real world.
We have to venture into sometimes the ugly world that, you know, many Christians are finding themselves in.
I mean, Christians have been persecuted in the Middle East.
Still being held prisoner in Iran.
Let's face these issues head-on and deal with them in a form of reality that makes people wake up and get it.
One of the remarkable things that you, Cyrus, and this is you and you alone, brought to this movie was a snapshot of something very real, the Christian underground in Iran.
The fact that there is a kind of There's a Christian movement in Iran that is resisting the regime, and you knew about it, you have connections with it, and you drew it right into the plot of this film, which I think added a lot to this movie.
Say a little word, we only have a couple of minutes left, but talk about the Christian underground in Iran and the contribution of that to the plot of Infidel.
Well, you know, I've been following the Christian underground in Iran ever since we did the stoning of Saraya M. And that movie was about a persecution of a woman.
And I came to realize that Iran was having the second highest number of converts to Christianity after China.
And this was led by women.
So I was very aware of this movement.
And, you know, they're very active.
They're active from inside of Iran surreptitiously.
And there are Iranians and Iranian-Americans outside of Iran who are very active.
So I felt like we need to bring this to light.
And fortunately, in our movie, it just fit in perfectly.
And I'm very proud that this is the first film, that Infidel is the first film that sort of sheds light on a Christian movement inside of Iran.
And I think the second oldest church, it's called the Church of Maryam.
A Christian church is on Iranian soil.
And a lot of people don't realize that.
I mean, Christianity was actually in that part of the world and in Iran long before Islam.
Cyrus, thank you very much.
It's been a real pleasure.
Infidel911.com, that's the website.
See the movie this holiday, this Christmas season.
We'll be right back.
Thanks so much.

What do you make of a city like Minneapolis, Minnesota, that slashed the police budget by millions of dollars last night?
It was a unanimous vote.
These kooks originally voted to abolish the police department altogether.
I want to give you some numbers.
Because this is very real here in Georgia, too.
How pro-police do you think Raphael Warnock is?
How pro-police do you think John Ossoff is?
How pro-police do you think today's Democrats are?
In Minneapolis, where we have a lot of listeners, here are some numbers that I want to share with you.
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 5100 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,

And many of the things that they did were perfectly legal, underhanded but perfectly legal.

Most of us are probably going to be happy to see 2020 come to an end with the coronavirus pandemic and civil unrest in our cities and the election madness This is one year we'll all be happy to see in our rearview mirrors.
But before 2020 ends at midnight this Thursday, Dennis Prager wanted me to remind you that there's still time to score a great year-end tax deduction while at the same time helping bring...
Positive change to the lives of boys and girls who, through no fault of their own, have a mom or dad in prison.
That makes them more likely to end up in sketchy neighborhoods near gangs, drugs and other dangers.
But that's where our friends at Prison Fellowship work miracles, whether it's through our just completed Angel Tree Christmas campaign or their Angel Tree sports clinics or the awesome Angel Tree summer camps.
A donation from you in any amount can literally change the life of an at-risk child.
And when you go to DennisPrager.com and click on the Angel Tree banner, you'll also receive that year-end tax deduction I told you about.
So it's a classic win-win.
It's getting late, but there's still time.
Between now and December 31st, this Thursday, to help the ongoing year-round work of Prison Fellowship and score a solid year-end tax deduction for any amount you donate at DennisPrager.com.
Or you can phone your gift to 888-206-2801.
So before you forget, please go right now to DennisPrager.com, click on the Angel Tree banner, and thank you for being so generous and getting a year-end tax deduction in addition.
I'm Dinesh D'Souza sitting in for Dennis Prager.
Let's go to the phones.
Susan in Highland Park, Illinois.
Go ahead, Susan.
I admire the work you do.
I had to say it, so please keep doing it.
Thank you.
So I'm kind of the red woman in the blue state, and I just don't want to see the impossibilities that I feel like I face living here in Illinois.
But one question I have for you, I'm more of a sales and marketing Kellogg, Northwestern gal.
How do we go about recruiting the next group?
That's where the influence is going to be, is to continue to grow our base.
And if the left is going to reach and grab anyone coming new in the border and mint them a left person, I think we need to get doubled down on figuring out how we grow our membership and our social capital and all that good stuff you were describing earlier.
I just don't know the marketing piece of it.
Susan, that's a great question.
- I have a question, how do we convince the next generation about conservative values?
What is their starting point?
How do we make the case?
I spend some time on the college campus, but I can't say that my expertise compares even slightly to my daughter who's just come off the campus, talks to young people all the time, and she happens to be right here, so I'm just going to unleash her on your question.
Perfect.
Danielle D'Souza, Gil, how do we reach the younger generation?
I just got back from the Turning Point Summit.
It was, I think, a week or two ago, and I spoke about pro-life and abortion and really just kind of the deeper issues of the loss of family values and how we're really viewing sex in our culture, especially many young people are unfortunately bombarded with constant kind of sex culture from the left.
But I think that it really comes down to not only learning these values in the home, but really...
Making them your own and making them your own in the sense of saying, you know, it doesn't really matter if other people are judging me.
It doesn't matter if other people don't want to be my friend.
It doesn't matter if when I'm in college I'm not the coolest person.
It doesn't matter if even maybe I don't get the job that I want and so on.
Because this kind of whole culture that the left is put on is really about sidelining conservatives.
I think that the more of us who really make this our own in terms of these values will really begin to kind of have a ripple effect in influencing all the people that we know in our circle and our communities and so on.
So I think that's kind of the grassroots answer.
But I think long-term, it has to really come from those people then going into influential positions and then making kind of that big long-term impact and bringing about that next generation.
If I can add a thought, in my experience, it's...
Go ahead, Susan.
I thought that was extremely insightful because I'm not at that age-level view in what I did for work.
Very much similar to how I was raised in the household, I think you answered my question, the household first.
And if we pivot and look at the marketing plan for the left, if we grab that same list of incoming immigrants that come in from other countries...
And try to recruit them in the same manner somehow through programs and get them buying into this on board.
I'm a believer that whatever they're doing on that other side, the forces of nature are always going to win.
Excellent point, Susan.
I'm sorry we have to run, but thank you for a very good question and observation, and we'll be right back.
Okay.
I keep complimenting you.
What did she say?
Very insightful observation.

Call Andrew and Todd at 888- Hi, Dinesh.
Great to talk to you.
I was thinking about your movie, Trump Card, and your scene with O'Brien torturing Winston to convince him that 2 plus 2 equals 4. I think that's what's going on in our country, is that we're being shown things that are unbelievable, and we're supposed to believe the opposite, like the CNN reporter in front of a burning building who says, it's a mainly peaceful demonstration, and you see burning over it.
So we're supposed to believe what they're saying, but not what we're saying, and this is going on what you said, what Gramercy said, and I think one thing that you didn't mention, that Gramercy didn't mention either, is that To have a successful revolution, you have to have control of the police.
And they basically neutered the police from now.
And the military is now becoming much more political.
And when you have political support from the military, then the revolution is over and are started.
And I think I agree with your comments on Gramsci and whatever.
But I loved your movie, and I think we've become a two-plus, two-equals-five nation right now.
Thank you very much.
Very nice comment.
And yes, we recreated the riveting scene in 1984. And the point is that Winston, the protagonist, says, you know, you can take whatever you want from me.
You can take my money, you can take my family, my freedom, but I'm going to hold on to the right to say that 2 plus 2 is 4. And of course, that causes the deep state, what Orwell calls Big Brother, to come down on him.
And torture him.
Sensory deprivation, no food, he's scared of rats, so they put rats on his face.
And of course, chillingly, when he finally breaks down and says, okay, I admit it, you know, 2 plus 2 is 5, can I go now?
The answer is no, Winston, you can't go.
Why?
Because in your mind, you still believe it's 4. You're just saying 5 because you want us to hear that from you.
We're not content with outward conformity.
We demand the submission of the inner self.
And I think Orwell understood that ultimately, tyranny doesn't just seek to make us conform in our behavior, but to conform in our inner thoughts and feelings.
And I think it is true that the left is trying in all kinds of ways to cajole, bully, browbeat, censor, and perhaps in the end terrify us.
Into silence and into submission.
And again, this is an insight into the fact that socialism at the end of the day isn't just about putting its hand into your back pocket and lifting your wallet.
At the end of the day, it's about controlling you in every way, making you into a worm, you might say.
And the impulse to resist, the impulse to freedom is, I won't be a worm.
I refuse.
I will not do it.
And by the way, the interesting thing about this from the point of view of the American founding is that the American founders didn't believe that majorities have the right, even if you have a majority, to make other people into worms.
That's why we have a Bill of Rights, because these rights, the right to free speech, the right to our conscience, the right to assemble, The right against unreasonable search and seizure.
These are not put up for democratic referendum.
We never allowed majorities to take these rights away from us.
Now, of course, the left has been using the pretext of coronavirus to do it.
But I think as one of the Supreme Court justices, I believe it was Alito, warned, the things that are being packaged as emergency measures are becoming alarmingly normalized.
And there seems to be a desire to push them forward, to continue, you may say, wartime measures even in peacetime.
Why?
Because these people in power like the idea of having the citizens in submission.
You know, when we think of a tyrant, we think of, I think of sort of the Stalin figure, someone in a Cossack outfit with a toothbrush, mustache.
But very often in America, tyranny isn't going to look like that.
It's going to look a lot more like Gretchen Whitmer.
You know, you can't do this, you can't do that.
I mean, this is like the village nag.
In ancient times, this would be someone standing on a street corner and screaming at her husband and her four kids who would be running away from her and her neighbors who would be trying to cross the street when they see her.
But, of course, the power of the village nag is limited to a few people.
But when you turn over the entire state of Michigan, including the police force and the National Guard, to someone like Governor Whitmer, she becomes a tyrant.
She becomes somebody who likes to control people's behavior and subjugate them, kind of in a similar way to the way in which the deep state tried to subjugate Winston.
So, thank you very much for the call.
I appreciate it.
We're going to be back in a minute.
For our final segment.
But I think we have time maybe for a quick call.
Let's go to Isaac in Jerusalem, Israel.

Anyway, I've been waiting for you to discuss what might happen January 5th.
I'm on pins and needles to know that The Republicans won't be on our side.
Could you please comment on that?
I think the Republicans must realize how critical this is, not just for Trump, but for them and for the future of the party.
It will be unconscionable if Republicans don't object to the way in which this fraud has been allowed to occur and has been systematized.
So the Republican Party has been known to be, you may say, the party of stupid people, the party of cowards.
But let's just hope that early in January, the Republicans find their backbone.
Backbone will be right back.

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 Anrem.
But I'm also on Parler, and I'm also on Rumble.
I post my videos on the video platform Rumble, which is a sort of alternative to YouTube.
And it's really important for us to build up these alternative platforms, because there's a sword of Damocles hanging over us at Twitter, and at YouTube, and at Facebook, and these guys can ban us anytime.
Boom, down falls the sword, and for no reason whatsoever.
Several weeks ago, I quoted Joe Biden saying that Antifa is merely an idea.
And Facebook tagged me.
They go, lacking context.
Lacking context.
I'm just quoting the guy.
What's the context?
Did he give a full speech on Antifa?
No.
So, ultimately, the thing that makes us so annoying is that there's no one to call.
You know, if I want to, if United Airlines inexplicably cancels my reservation, I can call them and go, hey, guys, don't be such idiots.
And they'll be like, yeah, we made a mistake.
We'll put it back.
But here you can't do it.
There's no one to call.
It's so eerie that you're dealing with these goons in man buns that are sitting around banning people left and right and putting idiotic Twitter commentary on people, even the president's tweets.
So this is a situation that we're dealing with.
I'd like to end this show on a lighter note.
I just read a kind of funny article in Politico.
And the article is about a very successful, quote, bookstore in Washington, D.C. Which is apparently called Books by the Foot.
Books by the Foot.
Why?
Because if you want six feet of books, you can pay a single price.
And they'll fill your bookshelf.
Of course, they know that you're not really interested in reading any of these books.
So you don't really choose the books.
You can, of course, choose your section.
You can say, well, I kind of want to come across as a legal scholar.
Pick me legal books.
But again, they pick any books, any legal books.
Why?
Because sort of it's the Jeffrey Toobin principle.
When Jeffrey Toobin goes on a Zoom call, he can have a lot of legal books behind him.
So people think, oh, wow, Jeffrey Toobin in his spare time reads legal books.
We now know in his spare time he doesn't read legal books.
He does other things.
But nevertheless, hey, books by the foot.
It really is a commentary on the hypocrisy of the Washington political class.
These people are frauds.
They don't really read.
They want to make it seem like they do read.
It's the same mentality where before they go up to the mic at a press conference, they put on the mask.
Of course, the moment the camera is off, they take off the mask.
And this is the essence of hypocrisy.
You know, very often the left accuses us of hypocrisy, but when they do that, they don't really mean hypocrisy.
They're talking about some Republican who's fallen short of his own moral standards.
Well, frankly, falling short of your own moral standards is not hypocrisy.
It's called being human.
Hypocrisy is pretending to be something you're not.
Hypocrisy is ultimately trying to put on a face for the public that's different than your real face.
That's what these frauds who shop at books by the foot are doing.
And we need to be aware that we're dealing with people who are complete and utter hypocrites.
