	Thank you.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	I am guest host Kurt Schlichter, and you're probably asking yourself, why the hell did Dennis Prager turn his show over to Kurt Schlichter?
	I am a careening car in the roller derby of Salem Media.
	And Dennis Prager, the most honorable, the most dignified, the most solemn, the most pious of persons, says, yeah, let's let Schlichter have it for a while.
	Who is this lunatic, you may ask?
	Well, you probably heard me guest hosting for Hugh Hewitt.
	I guest hosted for Seb Gorka recently.
	I've been here at the KRLA Studios, 790 AM, or I'm sorry, 870 AM, guest hosting on The Morning Answer.
	Several times in the last week, and it has been amazing.
	And for some reason, Dennis, he's decided he's going to let me handle his show.
	It's crazy, but we've got a great show for you folks.
	I'm trying to keep within the Dennis Prager guardrails.
	And you'll notice, if you're watching me on YouTube, and you should be, you can watch me all over the place.
	because this is being videocast as well.
	www.dennisprager.com, www.pragertopia.com, www.prageru.com, all sorts of places to check this insanity out.
	Now let me run down my resume.
	I am the senior columnist at Town Hall.
	You should be reading my stuff.
	Today, my column...
	Because I write a column every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
	Today my column is Wokeness is Poison.
	So if you're wondering where I stand, folks, that is where I stand.
	Wokeness is Poison.
	Wokeness is destroying the country I love.
	It's the country I served for 27 years.
	I'm a retired United States Army colonel.
	And though I am a noted Los Angeles trial lawyer, I want to emphasize I was never a judge advocate.
	I worked in the Chemical Corps in Desert Storm 30 years ago right now.
	I was commanding a heavily armed car wash.
	And then I transferred over to the infantry.
	And I commanded a cavalry battalion.
	Which is a squadron, if you want to be technically correct.
	And you know, I bring all that here.
	But I also bring the fact that for a short, intense period, I was a stand-up comic.
	And I know that some of my stand-up comic friends, including Derek Jay, are out there listening right now.
	Huge fans of Dennis Prager.
	And I'm a huge fan of Dennis Prager.
	Meeting Dennis was one of the big bonuses for this whole world that I got sucked into by Andrew Breitbart about nine years ago.
	I was there minding my own business.
	Got introduced to Andrew Breitbart.
	We bonded over 80s music and Mexican food.
	And I suggested to him that on his new website, Big Hollywood, he should go and he should have somebody write up something good that Hollywood did.
	He was doing the Big Hollywood site, and Hollywood did something good for once.
	Hollywood was going to open its...
	Star Trek reboot, the pointless Star Trek reboot, but it's going to open in Kuwait for our soldiers.
	And I thought, that's a good thing.
	You've got to praise the good while you dump on the bad.
	Okay?
	Praise the good, dump on the bad.
	So I said, Andrew, you've got to get somebody to write this.
	He goes, why don't you do it?
	It's okay.
	Now, I had written before I went to UC San Diego.
	I have many degrees, you know.
	But you don't have to call me doctor, even though I have a jurist doctor.
	But my doctorate is a joke doctorate like Jill Biden's.
	But anyway, I had written humor.
	I had written for the conservative paper there.
	I had written those TV trivia questions you used to see in bars in the 90s.
	Remember them?
	They'd have them on the screen up there.
	And you would fight over the trivia questions with the guys you were sharing beer and chicken wings with.
	I used to write those.
	$3.50 a pop.
	Anyway, so I took my skills and I wrote for Andrew.
	And the article seemed to be well-received.
	He immediately sends me a writer's packet and says, what are you writing about next?
	I was sucked in.
	I was trying to get out, but they kept pulling me back in.
	And eventually I moved on to townhall.com.
	And then I started doing radio hits.
	And then I started guest hosting, particularly here on Salem.
	Like I said, you've heard me on Hugh Hewitt, another dignified professional guy who for some reason allows me to have his show.
	And Dr. Seb Gorka, a real doctor who deserves respect because he has a real degree.
	My Juris Doctor, not a real degree.
	It's a professional degree.
	I'm more of a legal craftsman than anything else.
	Now, we're going to be talking law today.
	We're going to be talking about a lot of things today.
	I've got Harmeet Dillon coming up next segment.
	Now, Harmeet Dillon is, I would say, probably America's preeminent First Amendment freedom lawyer.
	She is on my cell phone when I get referred a case.
	That's in that sphere.
	Many times, I, instead of taking it myself, will call Harmeet and say, this is right for you.
	Now, I have done some of those cases.
	I was famously, in my own mind, Ben Shapiro's lawyer when Clockboy sued him.
	We won.
	Decisively, might I add.
	In fact, Clockboy is now somewhere in Qatar or something hiding out because he doesn't want to pay his judgments.
	In any case, we've got...
	We've got some other folks, too, coming up.
	You're going to love it.
	Michael Walsh, at the bottom of the hour, close personal friend.
	His book, Last Stands, is incredible, and you've got to see it.
	But I want to hear from you.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	Now, that's 1-877-243-7776.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	I want you to call.
	I want to talk to you.
	We've got a lot of time ahead of us.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter, guest hosting for Dennis Prager. 1-877-243-776.
	Now, it looks like we've got Margaret, appears to be in Chicago, Because my monitors are blinking.
	Margaret, how are you doing today?
	I want to say something to you.
	Share with me.
	I am a human being, okay?
	I'm a person.
	I have been on lockdown for six months.
	That's like being in a cage for six months.
	I looked up the word mandate.
	It means a command by someone in authority.
	Who has authority over my soul?
	Do you preserve my body and kill my soul, kill what's inside of me?
	I've seen this mandate.
	It's destroyed businesses.
	It's destroyed jobs.
	So you give us a body.
	You preserve that and destroy what's great in the American character.
	I will not permit it.
	I do not accept this authority any longer.
	It is not the law.
	And even then, if it were a bad law, I would not obey it.
	But this is destroying people.
	Well, I agree, Margaret.
	I think it is destroying.
	And it's destroying the guts in me, and I will not accept it.
	I understand, Margaret.
	I agree with you.
	Well, this is...
	Margaret, let me ask you something, Margaret.
	How has this changed your life?
	In my life, I have not been able to go out.
	I have not.
	It's like being in a cage.
	And I have seen in my own city, in Chicago, they do not obey the directives that they give to us.
	We are then what?
	Their slaves?
	Their servants?
	Well, Margaret, let me ask you a question.
	They do not comply.
	They're not my representative.
	Margaret, let me ask you a question.
	Why don't you just go out?
	Because that's what I'm doing.
	Now, I have had COVID. My body surges with antibodies.
	I have beaten this puny virus.
	But even before that, I went out.
	I lived my life.
	What's keeping you from living yours other than maybe dining in?
	I will no longer accept...
	This authority, it is a mandate.
	It's a directive.
	It's a command from authority.
	By what authority do you take my soul?
	Well, that's a great question.
	Thank you, Margaret.
	I appreciate your call.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	That's 1-877-243-776.
	Give me a call.
	I want to hear from you.
	There's a lot of anger out there, folks.
	There's a lot of despair.
	I drove from the South Bay of Los Angeles up to Glendale, where 8.70 a.m.
	the answer studios are.
	And everybody knows that's...
	In Los Angeles, that's a long way.
	It took me 35 minutes.
	And if you know Los Angeles, you're saying, what the hell?
	35 minutes?
	That's how few people are on the street.
	Yes, it's that weird week.
	And it's really weird, because I'm Kurt Schlichter, and I'm guest hosting for Dead as Prager.
	Stick around for Harmeet Dillon.
	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 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 did Republicans do?
	They didn't go BMW. They figured out what the Democrats did and engaged in the same kind of tactics.
	And guess what?
	All four of those seats are now back in Republican hands.
	So that's what we ought to be doing.
	I told you before that the Democrats' secret weapon was they got everybody who could fog up a vote to fog up a mirror to vote.
	And in my opinion, most people who've never voted are very likely Democrats.
	I think more Republicans are far more motivated, far more aware of what's going on than your average Democrat.
	And therefore, the average non-voter or seldom voter is very likely to be a Democrat.
	And Democrats knew that.
	They went out to get them.
	Well, there are a lot of them who are Republicans, though.
	And did Republicans try and go out and get those?
	Figure out what these guys did.
	and make the arguments persuasive.

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

	And if you want a real degree, a real doctorate, not a Jill Biden doctorate, hit PragerU.
	Oh, you don't get a diploma, folks.
	You just get knowledge.
	You get truth.
	That's what Dennis Prager delivers.
	And for some reason, Dennis Prager decided to take a tangent and instead invite me to guest host.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter.
	You may know me from townhall.com, where I'm a senior columnist, retired Army colonel, noted trial lawyer, author of the conservative action novel, Crisis.
	But let's shift back to my lawyer's side.
	Now, I defend clients.
	I represent people who've been wronged.
	But when I find a case that involves freedom, when I find a case where the stakes are high, I go to my cell phone and I dial Harmeet Dillon's number.
	Harmeet Dillon, perhaps America's greatest pro-freedom lawyer, and she's with us today.
	Good morning, Harmeet.
	Good morning, Kurt.
	Happy to be here.
	Thank you.
	Oh, well, thank you for joining us today.
	Now, like me, you were involved in fighting for the president.
	I went to Nevada at the invitation of Rick Grinnell to help with the legal effort there.
	I ended up with COVID. And you've been fighting, too.
	Let me give you my assessment of where we stand, and then I'd like to hear yours.
	I think the president has Very few effective legal options left.
	I think that the most likely result, and I won't say it's certain because it is 2020 and we are talking about Donald Trump, who's kind of a miracle worker.
	I think President Asterisk will be inaugurated on January 21st.
	Where do you see the facts as they are on the ground right now?
	Yeah, I think that's right.
	I think that there have been many valiant legal efforts fought both before and after the election by some great lawyers and, you know, a few by some not-so-great lawyers, and the net result is that they were not successful.
	You know, one of the unique things about election law is courts are very leery of changing the results of What looks to be the result of an election after the fact.
	So that's an uphill battle to start with.
	And frankly, the left has had a sort of year-round, 24-7 effort of filing ridiculous lawsuits for many years now.
	And they have successfully shifted the playing field well before, you know, this year.
	And so these are some factors that have been stacked against us.
	Something that we can't change in future years, but changing the results of this election through the courts is not going to happen, in my opinion.
	I think you're absolutely correct, Harmeet Dillon.
	And there are going to be a lot of people listening to The Dennis Prager Show who are very disappointed to hear that.
	They're two lawyers whose dedication to the conservative cause can't be reasonably questioned by any sane person.
	And we're giving them a hard truth.
	One of the big jobs of a lawyer is to tell people, hey, there's no Kraken.
	Kraken's not going to save you.
	You know, that's all right.
	And you and I have to do that every day in our regular practice in less than Lofty and less, some would say, consequential issues.
	The consequential for a client, but it's your job as a lawyer to tell the client, this is the lay of the land.
	And, you know, sometimes you can say, yes, there's a 5% chance and we could win it and you have to pay X and you may lose.
	Or sometimes you have to say, there's no chance of that argument winning with your standing, with your circumstances, with the injury that you suffered.
	The courts don't recognize it.
	The courts may have even blatantly shut it down.
	And, you know, not telling your client that is frankly cowardly.
	And the client doesn't like to hear it.
	But that's the honest and the necessary thing to do.
	And the other thing I want to point out about this is that in the world of civil rights litigation, which much of this election law stuff overlaps, First Amendment issues or the right to vote or the elections.
	Clause in the United States Constitution, bringing lawsuits that are plainly unsupported by the law or unlikely to fail spectacularly is worse than not bringing a lawsuit at all.
	You know, I consider there to be almost a Hippocratic oath amongst civil rights lawyers that you should do no harm, not just to your own situation or your client's situation, but to future situations.
	If you bring, for example, lawsuits that don't have the correct standing, i.e., the right party making the filing, you can sort of permanently shut the door to future potential challenges from your side.
	And so I've seen some of that happen in this last election cycle as well, very unfortunately.
	So this is not giving up to those people who are listening.
	You know, you have to deal with the hand that you've been dealt and do your best with it.
	I know the President did.
	The President's lawyers did.
	The Patriots who supported him did.
	And sometimes, you know, there's a...
	There's lived to fight another day.
	And that's, I think, where we are right now.
	Well, Harmeet Dillon, you pointed out that the Democrats brought lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit.
	In the military, we call that preparing the battlefield.
	And we didn't do it.
	And it's much like what happened in California.
	And you're very active in the California Republican Party.
	You guys came back.
	After 2018, when we were totally sideswiped by ballot harvesting, and we adapted in California to the new rules, and we brought in four great new people into Congress.
	That's right.
	Exactly.
	By adapting to the rules.
	Hopefully we can do that.
	Now, you are also very aggressive here in California about confronting the attacks on religious liberty made under the guise of pandemic protection.
	Do you get the sense that a lot of this has less to do with the pandemic and just flat out bigotry against people of faith?
	Well, part of that, absolutely.
	And when you see that from the fact that right at the beginning of the COVID shutdown, immediately the governor's bias was to treat faith as less important than marijuana dispensaries, liquor stores, and certainly Your coveted trip to Costco, which is, of course, a germ factory.
	And so that was the first lawsuit that my nonprofit, Center for American Liberty, filed was a case called Gish v.
	Newsom.
	We went on to join two other cases, one of which has gone up to the Supreme Court once, South Bay, and we filed similar lawsuits in other states as well.
	So there, you have a situation where we had righteous cases that should have won under existing precedent, and that for political reasons, courts were unwilling to stick their necks out, including Chief Justice Robert.
	But we did not give up, and ultimately the tide is turning.
	How can we help you?
	How can people support you?
	We have about 15 seconds.
	Sure.
	www.libertycenter.org.
	And we are fighting, and we will keep fighting these cases, and we are beginning to win them.
	Well, you're a true warrior, Harmeet Dillon.
	This is the Dennis Prager Show.
	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	Please stick around.
	We've got Michael Walsh and so much more coming up.
	Keep it right here.
	Thanks, Kurt.
	Yeah.
	- Thank you so much for coming on. - Trending now on the Eric Metaisa Show. - Last week on Sunday, you had a Republican judge in Michigan say to the Giuliani team that a third party audit could go forward in Anarim County.
	Why is that important?
	Anarum County is where the 6,000 votes went from the Trump column to the Biden column.
	It was nearly a full 33% of the county that got switched in that.
	And we discovered it through a hand-signature audit of the county that the Republican Party...
	Is Anarum 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.

	What is to be done?
	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.
	That individual who'd never...
	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.
	And most people, almost everyone, except, you know, the odd caller to our show, wrote it off as a publicity stunt.

	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter, retired United States Army colonel, trial lawyer, senior columnist at Town Hall, author of the new conservative action novel, Crisis.
	It hit 29 on Amazon, all of Amazon.
	Imagine that.
	A market for conservative material.
	And there's nobody who generates conservative material like my very close personal friend, Michael Walsh.
	And he's got a great new book.
	It's called Last Stands, Why Men Fight When All Is Lost.
	Look, I am a graduate of the Army War College.
	Thirty years ago right now, I was in a war zone, running a heavily armed car wash.
	But I love my military history, and I loved Last Stands.
	Michael, congratulations on this magnificent book.
	Thank you, Colonel.
	It's much appreciated.
	You know, we're friends.
	We hang out.
	We occasionally imbibe a small glass of port and perhaps share a cigar.
	However, I've got to say, your book is the real deal, and it's what it is.
	I'll let you explain it, but I want to point out the last chapter, which is about your father, who is still alive.
	He's a Marine.
	he may have been the last uh marine out of the chosen reservoir during that uh amazing and legendary fight and i gotta say that last chapter which you allowed me to read uh before publication uh was riveting it's one of the best things i've ever written i read well thank you for that uh
	You know, it's funny, having grown up with him, he's only 24 years older than I am, 23 years older than I am, so he came back from that war when I was about one year old.
	And so I've kind of grown up with the knowledge that he was there, but never really understood what happened there, because, as you know from your own experience, military people don't really talk about the wars.
	Well, if they're heroic, they don't.
	That's why I talk freely.
	Again, I ran a heavily armed car wash.
	Well, he ran against the heavily armed 100,000 Chinese troops.
	So I think it was a formative experience in his life.
	What else could it possibly be?
	But he didn't start talking about it until very late in life.
	And I was lucky enough to go down to Florida and sit down with him a couple years ago and tape his reminiscences of that particular battle.
	And that's what forms the heart of that final chapter.
	Michael Walsh, Last Stands, Why Men Fight When All Is Lost, is the book.
	Why do men fight when all is lost?
	Just romantic notions about that, and I sought to dispel some of those, or most of those, but I think that inside every little boy, let's start with this, didn't you as a little boy, how many times did you get killed as a little boy?
	Frequently.
	I played Army all the time, and there was a high casualty rate.
	I lasted about as long as the average second lieutenant.
	Which is about 26 seconds.
	About 26 seconds.
	Less if he's ticked off as platoon sergeant.
	But you died heroically every time.
	Every time.
	Gloriously.
	Yeah, gloriously, yeah.
	That's innate in the male animal.
	Women don't like to hear this, but it's actually the truth.
	That's not to say that men go out there to get killed.
	You go out there to kill the other son of a gun, not get killed yourself.
	But the notion of heroism is based...
	It's a very male thing, in this physical sort of form of heroism.
	And what I found, reading from primary sources from the Greeks right up to the present, was those men died for each other.
	That's it.
	I mean, yes, they were fighting for home and heart and country, and their women and their children.
	Yes, that was all the reason they went to battle.
	But in the battle, they are fighting for each other.
	And I bet that's true from your perspective, too, Kurt, isn't it?
	Well, my battles were mostly to get to the head of the chow line.
	but No, but I understand exactly what you're saying.
	I think that has important lessons for us today, because, you know, you may not have noticed, Michael Walsh, author of Last Stands, which everyone should go get, you may not have noticed, but a lot of young males today don't seem to know what it means to be a man.
	Well, that's a really sad development.
	Another, if I may be briefly, another quick story about my father.
	Well, hold on.
	Let's save that, Michael Walsh, because on the other side, I'd like to keep you on the other side of the break, if you will.
	Great.
	But I think this, the themes you're talking about last stand, tie to a lot of the problems in our present society, and I think it ties to a lot of what we see with, you know, young people running around with mouth thongs on, you know.
	In the open air, while they're exercising, when no one else is around, because they're afraid.
	And men, the essence of manhood is conquering your fear.
	It's not being fearless.
	It's conquering your fear.
	This is the Dennis Prager Show.
	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	Please stay right here.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	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 and some.
	But when he doesn't like it, he's constructive about it.
	Meaning, I'll read bad criticisms, and I can tell in the first line that, oh, this person had it in for me before they even saw the movie.
	They had already started this bad review before they saw the movie.
	So, you know what?
	That's not really a criticism.
	That's that person's hang-up.
	But when I can read somebody that has a good criticism, and Joe does, I think, a constructive criticism.
	And here's why I didn't like the movie, or here's why Matthew's performance didn't translate for me.
	I always learn something from it.
	And is it something that you do?
	Will you study reviews from serious people after a film comes out in order to improve your craft?
	Because they're good at theirs?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	I have done this.
	Look, obviously, it's more fun to read a good review.
	And obviously, when you do your work, and I feel like I did it well, and I read a good review, I think those people are smarter.
	But it went away eight years ago.
	And I had my publicist gather.
	Every bad review that's ever been written on my performances, which is almost 50 at the time.
	That's not in the book!
	No, it's not.
	I didn't put it in there.
	Maybe it could be in the next one.
	I went away and read every single one.
	And kind of learned more from the bad reviews in a way than I did from the good ones.

	Huge number of Democrats who believe that the Russians changed the outcome of the election in 2016.
	But they're just flabbergasted that Donald Trump is daring to suggest that this election might have been rigged or might be fraudulent.
	Okay.
	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.

	Schlichter, retired United States Army Colonel, graduate.
	it of the United States Army War College.
	Admittedly, it's a party war college, but I am a graduate nonetheless.
	And I know my military history.
	And a book came out on December 1st that I love.
	I love this book, Last Stands, Why Men Fight When All Is Lost.
	And it just happens to have been written by my close personal friend Michael Walsh.
	Who joins us today on the Dez Prager Show.
	Michael, off air, we were talking about how fear plays in the equation of manhood.
	Can you expand on that?
	Yeah, I think it's very important, the point that you made before the break, Kurt, which is that everybody's afraid.
	Nobody on the battlefield is not afraid, unless that person is a complete psychopath, and that's not the guy you want on the battlefield.
	No.
	The essence of manhood is conquering that fear and realizing that there's a higher goal and that you are expected to live up to a higher standard.
	And I fear, so to speak, that young men today have become so feminized and so browbeaten by this notion of toxic masculinity, which is just a repellent phrase that women should be ashamed of using.
	They are so browbeaten by this.
	That they now are just afraid of being afraid.
	And we've got to turn young men around that we have no chance as a culture and a civilization.
	Well, you know, Michael Walsh, when I was serving in Desert Storm, as I mentioned, I essentially ran a heavily armed car wash.
	It was chemical decontamination.
	Our mission was to physically go where VX and Sarin and GB and all the rest of the stuff was.
	And, you know, look, you know me.
	I'm no Pete Buttigieg.
	I'm no Saigon Dick Blumenthal.
	I'm no hero.
	I was not afraid of being killed.
	I was terrified of letting my men down.
	Yes.
	And that's precisely the essence of duty in the equation duty, honor, and country.
	Your duty is to your men.
	If you're in command, your duty is to lead them as capably as you can, not get them killed unnecessarily.
	And try to go home from the engagement.
	If you're an enlisted man, your duty is to follow your senior officer's instructions and do it.
	And that's the end of it.
	There's no talking.
	There's no therapy.
	There's no, I think I've got to go lie down on the couch.
	None of that.
	This is just horrible what's happened to the American male.
	It's horrible.
	And we should all be ashamed that we allowed psychiatrists and feminists to browbeat us into this absurd position.
	Where young men are walking around in public wearing muzzles.
	It's a disgrace.
	It certainly is shameful, but I find that there's hope.
	I find that young men competing to join our military and to accept that challenge, I find that refreshing.
	I also find, and this is kind of odd, extreme sports.
	You know, if you're riding a skateboard at 60 miles an hour down a hill and wiping out, And filming it on YouTube and thinking it's cool.
	I mean, is there any more manly kind of thing than taking a risk just to have been able to know that you faced your fear?
	Well, that's the key.
	I mean, as you know, Kurt, I'm a great fan of the great writer Camille Paglia, who wrote Sexual Personae.
	I just adore her work, and it's been terribly influential on mine.
	She says in the first chapter of that book, if civilization were left in female hands, we would all still be living in grass huts.
	And her point is that it's men who take the chances, men who build the bridges, men who shoot rockets into space.
	It's all a sublimated sexuality in her telling, of course.
	But it's men who bridge these gaps, and we die in enormous amounts of numbers in order to improve civilization.
	So, don't give me toxic masculinity.
	Well, I wrote about some of that today, Michael Walsh, author of Last Stands, which you should all go by.
	I wrote about that today in my Town Hall VIP column, Wokeness is Poison, about the whole Wonder Woman thing.
	Now, look, there's nothing wrong with Wonder Woman per se, but we have this thing in Hollywood, Michael Walsh, where you have the 110-pound woman.
	And she's fighting the guy with a broadsword, who's 250 pounds, and she's winning.
	And that's just a lie.
	But even worse, what they're doing to femininity, it's not girl power.
	It's actually, I'm just a smaller, weaker male who the screenwriter's letting win this fight.
	Instead of celebrating the great things about femininity, they basically are trying to make women into a parody of men.
	And I think that's very confused.
	I've said this often, on the radical feminist left, the highest form of a woman is a man.
	That's it.
	So ladies, if that's what you think, you go right ahead and follow those people.
	But the notion that tiny little women can beat up great big men is just another fantasy that is actually dangerous.
	Yeah, that's why we have handguns.
	That's so little guys can equalize it with the big guys.
	Hey, as you know, I married a beautiful Cuban.
	She doesn't play that.
	No, I imagine she wouldn't.
	But it's not right.
	It's not right to fantasy.
	Yesterday on National Propaganda Radio, which is the only radio I can get living up here in the woods in rural New England, there were two women, of course, gibbering about the Wonder Woman movie and about whether there really were Amazons.
	And perhaps history has conspired.
	I don't mean Amazon, the company.
	I mean female warrior Amazons.
	The history is a conspiracy that shut down our knowledge of what Amazon women were actually like.
	And at this point, we've crossed into fantasy and absurdity.
	We need to stop this.
	The goal of all my work, not just Last Dance, but the two books before us, The Devil's Pleasure Palace and The Fiery Angel, is to reestablish some sort of cultural baseline.
	Well, I agree with that, Michael Walsh.
	We do need to establish a cultural baseline.
	And everything we've said here in no way diminishes the service of women who've served their country in law enforcement or the military.
	What we are reaffirming is that men and women are different.
	And we should celebrate that.
	Last Stands is the book, Why Men Fight When All Is Lost.
	The author is my friend Michael Walsh.
	You must get this book.
	It has my highest recommendation.
	I am Kurt Schlichter.
	And I am proud to be guest hosting for the great Dennis Prager.
	And we will see you right after the break.

	Normal people have had their voice suppressed.
	Anywhere between 250 to 275 to 300,000 people have died from the Chinese coronavirus.
	The lockdowns have killed dreams, ambitions, and human beings through suicide and other means.
	How did all of this happen?
	Aristotle famously said that we are the speaking beings.
	If we do not have the ability to speak and communicate, we are no different than the animals of the wild.
	Aristotle was a scientist.
	Some would call him an empiricist.
	It's not a perfect categorization, but he cared about what was happening in the natural world, where Plato cared about what was happening in the clouds.
	The space of ideas.
	Aristotle cared a lot about what was actually provable and based in reason.
	That's why he is called just the philosopher in a lot of traditions.
	So when you're not able to speak, when you're not able to spread ideas, don't be surprised when your entire civilization starts to unravel.
	So when you're not able to say, hey, I think hydroxychloroquine might actually work.
	And all of a sudden, your YouTube account gets shut down, your Twitter account gets shut down, your Facebook page gets shut down.
	You get fired like Dr. Simone Gold.
	These Soviet-style tactics that are used suppress speech.
	So what ended up happening?
	There was a massive PR push done by some great doctors, Dr. Erickson, Dr. Simone Gold, amongst many others, to try to just start a conversation.
	on how hydroxychloroquine could be helpful.

	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,
	form police keep up with what's trending subscribe on YouTube today trending now on the Larry older 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 did Republicans do?
	They didn't go BMW. They figured out what the Democrats did and engaged in the same kind of tactics.
	And guess what?
	All four of those seats are now back in Republican hands.
	So that's what we ought to be doing.
	I told you before that the Democrats' secret weapon was they got everybody who could fog up a vote to fog up a mirror to vote.
	And in my opinion, most people who've never voted are very likely Democrats.
	I think more Republicans are far more motivated, far more aware of what's going on than your average Democrat.
	And therefore, the average non-voter or seldom voter is very likely to be a Democrat.
	And Democrats knew that.
	They went out to get them.
	Well, there are a lot of them who are Republicans, though.
	And did Republicans try and go out and get those?

	Last week on Sunday, you had a Republican judge in Michigan say to the Giuliani team that a third party audit could go forward in Anarim County.
	Why is that important?
	Anarum County is where the 6,000 votes went from the Trump column to the Biden column.
	It was nearly a full 33% of the county that got switched in that.
	And we discovered it through a hand signature audit of the county that the Republican Party...
	Is Antrim, Michigan?
	Yes, and it was the first place, Eric, where we first heard the word Dominion Voting.
	It was in that county, it was in that flip, it was in that switch.
	At the time, the Secretary of State in that state said that it was a clerical error, that a clerk made the mistake, and then they shut off all discussion of it.
	Well, a judge said, it's okay, you guys can go in and do a forensic examination of 22 voting machines there in Anrum.
	That was concluded last Sunday, a week ago.
	We were told we would get results last Tuesday.

	Before we get to my pal Ash Shao, I want to talk to Will from Skokie, Illinois, because this hero has given two daughters to the service of America.
	Congratulations, Will.
	You must be very proud.
	Yeah, I am.
	I didn't give them.
	They just chose to do it.
	The one went to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.
	And one morning when she's in high school, she just presented us with an acceptance letter, and we were like, what?
	And then the young one had to be more badass than her sister, so she went Marines out of high school.
	The older one, she's still serving.
	They just got transferred from Mayport to Pearl.
	She just got promoted.
	And the young one served at a tour.
	She wanted to be a sniper, because I've been shooting with her since she was 10. But they wouldn't let her be a sniper, so she was good with languages.
	We're Jewish, and she knew Hebrew and Arabic, and she also picked up Spanish and French and German, and they sent her to language school to translate and to pat down the females, and she went over to Afghanistan and proved she was badass to her compatriots.
	You know, the squad automatic weapon, the M249, that's kind of heavy.
	Yeah.
	She named it Lucille.
	She named it Lucille.
	Yeah, she got two purple hearts.
	What?
	And just through and through, nothing serious, just little titty scars.
	Goodness.
	Will, you must be so proud of your daughters serving their country like this.
	And, you know, I... The best part of it was I
	didn't have to pay any college tuition, you know?
	Well, Will, we know that's not true, because you're going to be paying for other people's college if Joe Biden gets it.
	So congratulations, you're funding some pierced, blue-haired weirdos gender studies degree.
	You've got to be so proud.
	Thank you very much, Will.
	I'd like to bring on...
	Thank you, Will.
	I'd like to bring on another person.
	Who is very in tune with what's happening on college campuses.
	You used to know her as Ash Shaw.
	She is now Ash Short.
	Congratulations, by the way, Ash.
	Thank you.
	You have been one of the people who has been a pioneer in exposing the nightmare of essentially sexual warfare on our campuses.
	With a Biden asterisk administration coming in, how do you see that fight going?
	It's going to be devastating to college students, just like it has been for the past decade, since the Obama administration just inflicted untold harm onto our nation's college students.
	men and women.
	For men, they've completely eroded.
	Due process and have created a culture where people see due process as a bad thing, as somehow supportive of criminals and terrible people.
	And then for women, it has taught a generation of women that they have no agency when they drink.
	They have no responsibility whatsoever when they consume alcohol, and they can't control themselves when they consume alcohol.
	So they're not at fault for anything.
	They have no personal responsibility.
	Drink alcohol.
	Make a poor decision.
	It's not your fault.
	It's someone else's decision.
	It's their fault.
	So you've got this generation of women thinking that they're victims when they're not.
	And this generation of men that are being denied due process rights and kicked out of college based on false accusations and trumped up exaggerated claims.
	Well, you look at some of these, Ash Short, you look at some of these decisions, and there are more and more coming down, and more and more judges are taking a close look at this and saying, this just isn't right.
	This is absolutely wrong, what you're doing to these men.
	You're not letting them confront witnesses.
	You're not even telling them the charges against it.
	How did this kangaroo court mentality get in place in our campuses?
	Administration in 2011 released guidelines that basically told colleges, you find more people responsible, or we're going to investigate you, and we're going to find you in violation of Title IX, the gender discrimination statute from 1972. And we're going to, you know, inflict penalties on you.
	So these schools got it in their head that, you know what, just finding more people responsible, no matter what the evidence.
	Right?
	We've had cases where men have presented text messages between him and the woman, where the woman is, I want you, I love you, you know, please, I want to be with you, and then he decides not to be with her, so she makes an accusation.
	Well, it's not evidence of consent.
	It's not evidence of anything, you know, because all that matters is what happened in the exact moment of sexual activity, where he's like, well, we don't know, but it doesn't matter that they don't know.
	They'll just get rid of the guy.
	It's much easier for them politically to just expel a guy because, I mean, in this day and age, we've got this culture that just does not care about men.
	And they'll just expel the guy because if they don't, then the girl will get write-ups in New York Times, magazine covers, you know, interviews all on every single network just about how she was mistreated and she's a victim and all of this stuff, and it doesn't matter.
	The validity of her statement.
	We've had multiple victims like this.
	Women coming forward who are claimed to be victims when the evidence just doesn't support their accusations.
	It seems as short that the evidence is kind of beside the point.
	All that matters is the accusation.
	All that matters is the conclusion.
	And what kind of stunts me, look, I'm a lawyer.
	I would never expect to go into court without evidence, do my opening argument and turn to the jury and say, okay, please go back in the room and fine for my client.
	I would expect to have to put on witnesses.
	I would expect to have to counter other people's evidence.
	Yet none of that happens at our universities when it's men being accused.
	And in fact, it's a complete one-way street.
	There are men presenting evidence that, hey, this woman was just as drunk as I was.
	And yet...
	The man is the one being blamed.
	Isn't this a weird kind of parallel to Victorianism, where the woman has no agency, she's infantilized, and the man is all-powerful?
	Right, absolutely.
	In some strange way, this gives men all of the power over women.
	Basically saying that men have to take care of women, because when women are drunk or have consumed really any alcohol, they can't take care of themselves.
	It's absolutely infantilizing, it's disturbing, and it's unconstitutional.
	Well, it certainly is that, Ash Short.
	How do we fight this?
	I mean, I've been trying to expose it, and by doing that, we got Betsy Duvall, who paid attention to the issue, not because of me, because of a lot of people pointing this stuff out.
	She talked to the accused student, she found out the problem, she took the necessary legal The steps that needed to be taken in order to implement guidelines, those were finally released this year.
	It took years.
	Biden says he's just going to undo them, but he's going to have to follow a similar process unless he's just going to abuse executive power, which we know he will.
	Like, she did everything right, and multiple activists have tried to sue the regulations, claiming this is an upfront to victims, and they have been upheld.
	The guidelines have been upheld.
	Because they were done the correct way.
	It's a tragedy, Ash Short.

	Let's look at the last four years.
	So Let's look at the last 40 years and ask the question that a former communist revolutionary asked.
	What is to be done?
	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.
	That individual who'd never 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.
	And most people, almost everyone, except, you know, the odd caller to our show, wrote it off.
	as a publicity stunt.
	It's something to be laughed at until he defeated every single, what was it, 16 or 17 GOP candidates, most of whom were just processed politicians from within the so-called swamp.

	music 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.

	And I was like, well, you know, if you actually play it as the intro, you're my hero.
	And there it is, the Insane Clown Posse.
	Wow.
	I'm going to be getting to Ann, Caesar, and Daryl, who are on the board in just a minute, but I have to talk to you about something.
	You may know me from Twitter, at Kurt Schlichter, spelled just like it sounds, in the traditional Stuttgart spelling.
	K-U-R-T-S-C-H-L-I-C-H-T-E-R. By the way, Schlichter means mediator or guy who makes peace in German, right?
	No wonder we got kicked out of the country 250 years ago.
	Anywho.
	I tweeted that I was going to be hosting for Dennis Prager because this is one of the pinnacles of my entire life.
	Believe me, I never thought Dennis Prager would let me have his show.
	Hugh Hewitt!
	He's got a good sense of humor.
	He said, Gorka, we're both war college guys.
	But Dez Prager, I mean, I'm wearing a tie.
	That's how impressed I am.
	So I never thought.
	So I'm very proud.
	So I put that up on my Twitter feed.
	And I had a great talk with Harmeet Dillon, who is one of the great conservative lawyers out there fighting for freedom, fighting for the First Amendment, fighting for election truth.
	And as I did, I went and I fought for the president in...
	Nevada, under Rick Grinnell.
	I got a call from Rick Grinnell.
	I said, Kurt, I need your help.
	I went out there.
	I actually caught COVID doing it and had to stop when I went into seclusion.
	But in any case, Harmeet and I were discussing what do we think is going to happen legally, and we both have the conclusion, look, we're lawyers, and we're going to tell you how it is.
	It is almost impossible for the president to...
	Win in court and overturn the results of the election.
	More likely than not, asterisk will be inaugurated on January 20th.
	That is our assessment as lawyers.
	I'm also a retired Army colonel.
	I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear.
	I'm going to tell you what you need to hear.
	That's what I think is going to happen, being 2020 and it being Donald Trump.
	I'm not saying it certainly will, but I'm saying that's more likely than not.
	So I get people on Twitter, and they're very angry with me.
	Someone named Lucy.
	He's very angry.
	Unfollowed!
	Because you told me they didn't even get a chance to have a hearing in court!
	You are correct.
	That is absolutely correct.
	This supports my assertion that the president will probably not win his legal challenges.
	And another guy, Moon Moth, is not FCC compliant.
	I gotta tell you, I would read his tweet, but there's a lot of things in there that would make the FCC... Let's just put it this way.
	Moon Moth is very unhappy with Kurt Schlichter and my legal analysis.
	Let me tell you something.
	Here's how it goes.
	I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear.
	I'm going to tell you what you need to hear.
	And right now, you need to hear from Cesar, who says a Republican victory depends on the vote in Georgia.
	Cesar, how are you doing today?
	Hello.
	How you doing?
	No, I was a colonel.
	I didn't do anything except drink coffee and stand there.
	Sergeant Major would say, sir, don't say nothing.
	Just look like you're in charge.
	I did it.
	That was my secret to success.
	It's the young guys who deserve it, but I'll accept it on behalf of them.
	Cesar, what do you have to say about Georgia?
	Well, the present campaign hinges on retaining control of the Senate by the Republicans, which makes the call to vote.
	A call for Republicans.
	My suggestion is to make the call to Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who felt cheated by the election fraud that was reported in Georgia with 12,000 margin by Biden and the January 5 vote showing a million two hundred thousand margin for the Republican with
	those Democrats who did not know about Biden corruption that was suppressed by the big tech and the mainstream media and then those independents who felt cheated by the lack of information as well and then all the Republicans who supported the president that should Well,
	Well, Cesar, you agree that this race is very, very important coming up a week from yesterday.
	I agree.
	That's why I insist on, I keep thinking on how we can make a redo of the November election.
	Well, I think that's going to be very unlikely, Cesar.
	Now, I detect an accent, and I have married, and it sounds to me like a Hispanic accent, I married into a Hispanic immigrant family.
	Can you tell me where you came from?
	Oh, Filipino!
	I'm Filipino, from the Philippines.
	You know...
	I lived in Glendale 40 years here's my view I think that people who become Americans by choice like you did Cesar are kind of dwarf in patriotism guys like me, look I was born here it was just handed to me you came and you earned it is that why you feel so strongly about this election is that why it means so much to you well I have two kids
	and this is my country now.
	I did not swear allegiance to this country until after 30 years where half of my life has been here already.
	Until I was ready to swear allegiance to this country, I did not.
	So when I swore allegiance to this country, this is my country now, my children's country.
	What happens to it is my responsibility as well represented by my vote.
	And when that vote is negated by cheating, I am deeply concerned.
	And that's why I wanted to equate the January 5 elections in Georgia at the redo of the November elections.
	Well, thank you, Cesar.
	I get chills when I hear something like that.
	I get chills when I hear someone...
	Who was born in a different country and came to America and chose to be an American.
	Folks, most of you are like me.
	I was born in Cincinnati.
	I mean, most of you weren't born in Cincinnati, but you get the point.
	Citizenship was a given.
	But the people who came and struggled for it and made a specific choice, they made a commitment to the United States of America.
	And I served with folks like that.
	Helped swear in citizens when I was a colonel.
	I just, I get chills.
	I get chills because this is the greatest country on earth.
	And that's not a cliche.
	That's a reality.
	This is the Dennis Prager Show.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter.
	please stick around.
	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	What could we have done to change the outcome?
	Now, what the Democrats did was to use the coronavirus as an excuse to loosen election rules, to make it easier and easier for people to vote, make it easier and easier for election fraud to be committed.
	And many of the things that they did were perfectly legal, underhanded but perfectly legal.
	Now, the previous election cycle...
	The Republicans lost four seats in Orange County, a county that used to be reliably Republican, got wiped out in Orange County, largely because the Democrats employed a tactic known as ballot harvesting.
	Legal, underhanded, but it allows votes to be turned in later on if you've assisted a voter in filling out 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 did Republicans do?
	They didn't go BMW. They figured out what the Democrats did and engaged in the same kind of tactics.
	And guess what?
	All four of those seats are now back in Republican hands.
	So that's what we ought to be doing.
	I told you before that the Democrats' secret weapon was they got everybody who could fog up a vote to fog up a mirror to vote.
	And in my opinion, most people who've never voted are very likely Democrats.
	I think more Republicans are far more motivated, far more aware of what's going on than your average Democrat.
	And therefore, the average non-voter or seldom voter is very likely to be a Democrat.
	And Democrats knew that.
	They went out to get them.
	Well, there are a lot of them who are Republicans, though.
	And did Republicans try and go out and get those?
	Figure out what these guys did.
	And make the arguments persuasive.

	Is that 2020 will really go down as the year that the most powerful people on the planet the people that have the most money, the most influence, The most access to capital that control the most powerful companies, they tried to make America in their image, and they largely succeeded.
	This is a hard thing for us to admit.
	It's a hard thing for us to admit that the masters of the universe, the masters of Menlo Park, if you go back in January, all the way fast forward to today, just in 2020, they pulled off a decade of transformation.
	In 11 months.
	Think about where we were back in January.
	Critical race theory, BLM Incorporated, were considered radical movements and radical pieces of thought.
	Not at Google, though.
	At Google and at YouTube and at the Masters of Menlo Park, they considered critical race theory to be a religious text.
	They considered Herbert Marcuse and Angela Davis To be what I would view Isaiah and Elijah prophets of what is to come, of some form of Hegelian dystopian nightmare.
	The country was not as digitized.
	Donald Trump was experiencing one of the greatest economies in American American.
	We got more to come here on the Des Prager Show.
	I am guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	Among other things, I am the author of the new action-adventure conservative novel, Crisis, the latest in the Kelly Turnbull series, starring with People's Republic.
	And you can see, if you are watching us on YouTube or elsewhere, like www.dennisprager.com or www.
	Pragertopia.com or www.prageru.com.
	We are flashing it up on the screen.
	There's People's Republic.
	It's the first of the five books.
	These things are super popular.
	There's an appetite out there for conservative material, folks.
	Especially stuff that's funny and exciting and good.
	Just like Andrew Breitbart told us to make.
	We'll be talking more about that.
	Next hour, when Christian Toto shows up, Toto in Hollywood, and we're going to talk about all things entertainment, and it's going to be great.
	But first, let's get serious for a second, because we have a responsibility.
	Look, I'm a conservative.
	You are a conservative, probably, unless you're conservative curious, in which case I say indulge.
	But we have grave doubts about the government fixing problems in society.
	But that doesn't mean people don't need help.
	We need to step up.
	Look, we're heading into the homestretch of 2020. It's a year most of us will be happy to see end.
	I know at the Schlichter Fort we will.
	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 life 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 look, I'm a lawyer.
	I'm also Scottish.
	Get me to write a check.
	That's something.
	And yet I did for Prison Fellowship.
	I'm an Army colonel.
	I'm not going to ask you to do anything I didn't do.
	I've done it.
	I want you to do it.
	You go to DennisPrager.com.
	You click on the Angel Tree banner.
	And you get that year-end tax deduction I told you about.
	It's a win-win, folks.
	You can't lose.
	Look, it's getting late.
	There's still time, though, between now and midnight on the 31st.
	That's this Thursday.
	To help the ongoing year-round work of Prison Fellowship and score your solid year-end tax deduction for any amount you donate.

	Thanks for always being so generous and for getting that year-end tax deduction.
	That's always good to go.
	I have a full board of calls, and I want to follow up on our discussion with Ash Shao from a segment ago, where Ash was explaining how...
	Young men are at risk on our college campuses.
	Line one, Ann in Hillsborough, Oregon.
	How are you?
	How are you?
	I'm good, but I'm a little worried about what's happening on college campuses.
	It looks like you are, too.
	Well, yeah, but I'm also worried about the criminal court system taking the victim stance, where they claim that the woman is a victim because she's a woman, and when she's actually not, and just as drunk as the guy.
	It's in her own trouble.
	But the criminal courts take it to the domestic violence, and then I feel like the domestic violence are getting funded for each criminal case that they succeed in, even though they have evidence that shows that the guy isn't at fault.
	Well, you know, Ann, I'm a trial lawyer.
	I do civil law.
	I don't do criminal stuff.
	My mom did when I was growing up, and I saw enough of that to know that, no, I'm going to work in a nice office with nice companies suing each other.
	Sure.
	But we do have a jury system.
	We pick a jury.
	And isn't it on us as citizens to take seriously the evidence and not just listen to what the prosecutor says and not just listen to what the defense attorney says, but to look at the evidence?
	Right, but if there is no jury and it's done by a trial judge, then he should be at least aware of this too.
	Well, look, you always have a right to a trial by jury and a misdemeanor felony.
	So, look, I am a great believer in the American people, Ann.
	I go down to courts, mostly in Southern California, but elsewhere, and all these amazing people show up.
	They really want to do a good job.
	And it's inspirational.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter.
	This is The Des Prager Show.
	We'll pick it up on the other side.
	Stick around.
	Trending now on the Larry O'Leary Show.
	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.
	it 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.

	The Richer Richer.
	Google and Facebook are more powerful than ever before.
	Normal people have had their voice suppressed.
	Anywhere between 250 to 275 to 300,000 people How did all of this happen?
	Aristotle famously said that we are the speaking beings.
	Aristotle was a scientist.
	He was a scientist.
	Some would call him an empiricist.
	It's not a perfect categorization, but he cared about what was happening in the natural world, where Plato cared about what was happening in the clouds, the space of ideas.
	Aristotle cared a lot about what was actually provable and based in reason.
	That's why he is called just the philosopher in a lot of traditions.
	So when you're not able to speak, when you're not able to spread ideas, Don't be surprised when your entire civilization starts to unravel.
	So when you're not able to say, hey, I think hydroxychloroquine might actually work, and all of a sudden your YouTube account gets shut down, your Twitter account gets shut down, your Facebook page gets shut down, you get fired like Dr. Simone Gold.
	These Soviet-style tactics that are used suppress speech.
	So what ended up happening?
	There was a massive PR push done by some great doctors, Dr. Erickson, Dr. Simone Gold, amongst many others, to try to just start a conversation.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	That's the great Dennis Prager.
	Bye.
	I'm Kurt Schlichter.
	He's thrown me the keys to this Buick of a show.
	And I'm speeding down the freeway.
	Going the wrong way.
	Dodging traffic.
	Oncoming.
	It's a crazy time, this time of year.
	Kind of between Christmas and New Year's.
	Everybody's gone.
	There's this abandoned studio.
	I wander in.
	Nobody's at the mic.
	I just take over.
	But we're having a good discussion, and I want to continue it, about what's happening on our college campuses.
	John in Kansas City, where I once lived, you've got some views about what's happening on campus.
	Hello, Kurt.
	Nice introduction.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, I'm on the Kansas side.
	Are you near Parkville?
	Yes, I'm south of there.
	I went to Graydon Elementary.
	Oh, did you really?
	I did.
	I was thrown out at first grade and exiled to California.
	Everyone there is so nice and generous and open in Kansas, John.
	At age six, I didn't fit in.
	I had to go to California where my skills could be appreciated and I could eventually become a trial lawyer.
	Well, maybe that being kicked out was a good indication you'd become a trial lawyer.
	Yes.
	Yes, I think it was in my DNA. In fact, my mom was a district attorney, and became a judge.
	Which is why I look at this due process stuff that's on college campuses, and it really turns my stomach.
	You say it started in the 90s.
	I lived in a small college city here in Kansas, on the east part of Kansas.
	For several years, I graduated college early 80s.
	I stayed in the college city until the mid-90s.
	Starting in, it was roughly 1991, I started hearing the accusations.
	And after, within a couple years, I'd heard several accusations.
	I knew guys who had been through it.
	I had one friend, wasn't even in the location when he was accused.
	And it was just, ever since then, I've heard several stories.
	And what I traced it back to, now this is my theory, was the feminism started taking over in the public education right around the late 60s, early 70s, and they were teaching everybody, you're a victim, females are victims, men are sexual predators, and those kids were getting out of school, the public schools, in the 1980s, and they were bringing that mentality, and I think that's what led to a lot of this.
	And John, what we're talking about here is not some guy who breaks down a door, beats up a woman and assaults her, or grabs her walking across the quad.
	Right.
	That's purely criminal.
	What we're talking about, these ambiguous situations where people have been drinking, and a couple of young people, 18, 19, 20, they start getting hot and bothered.
	Things happen.
	Maybe the guy doesn't call her after.
	Maybe he decides, you know, it was one night, I'm moving on.
	Maybe she's jealous because he has a girlfriend.
	But you have these ambiguous situations, you have a lot of emotions, you don't have a lot of evidence, and you don't have a lot of clear, classic sexual assault evidence.
	Bruises, essentially.
	Instead it's, well, you know, I was drunk, and I was kind of into it, then I was kind of not, and he didn't read my mind, and so on and so forth.
	And that leads to injustice.
	That leads to injustices.
	No, colleges can't tolerate real sexual assault.
	No one does.
	But how do you know what's real?
	How do you know what's true without a real process?
	And thank you, John, for bringing this up.
	We need real process.
	We need...
	We need to be heard.
	And Lee, in Palo Alto, California, I also live near there, Lee.
	I lived in San Mateo.
	You have issues with the courts, too.
	Well, yes.
	I mean, when you were talking about fairness and process, I totally agree with you.
	And getting back to the election...
	You know, I watched the hearings in Michigan and in Georgia, and there was definitely fraud.
	Well, look, I was in Nevada, Lee.
	75 million people do not have any place to go to in terms of states or the courts.
	There's five minutes left in the game, and that would be Congress.
	Those people are elected.
	And so I'm actually not going to throw in the towel and accept Biden until January 6th.
	I'm never accepting Biden.
	In the meantime, if Biden gets in there, even people that are black will be considered white supremacists for voting for Trump.
	Well, Lee, thank you very much, Lee.
	You bring up some really good points about what's going on.
	And a lot of people are wondering, hey...
	You know, there's obvious math.
	Again, I went to Nevada.
	I worked with Rick Grinnell, Matt Schlapp, Adam Laxalt fighting this.
	Jesse Benal, who's that great lawyer.
	You've seen him a couple times.
	I know that this election is tainted.
	I do not believe it was a fair election.
	Are the courts going to provide us the relief we seek?
	And my analysis tells me they are not.
	A lot of people don't want to hear it.
	I got people on Twitter, you're the worst person ever!
	I'm going to tell you what I think.
	I don't think this is going to get resolved by the courts.
	Should it?
	Yeah, probably.
	But you know, I'm not a teenager who's licensed!
	Slams the door and cranks the My Chemical Romance, then writes poetry in his dream journal.
	That's not me, folks.
	No, life isn't fair.
	Welcome to the world.
	Welcome to Earth!
	Or, as Will Smith would say, welcome to Earth!
	If you're like an alien who's invaded Earth.
	I'm sorry if I have to tell you there's no Kraken out there who's going to rescue us.
	The courts are not going to do it.
	And it was always an uphill battle.
	Look, to win it, you would have to convince at least three judges in three states to pick the winner of an election.
	Then get a court of appeal level to agree, and then get the U.S. Supreme Court to agree.
	Guys, that's an uphill climb pushing a boulder!
	And we're continuing our climb here on the Dennis Prager Show.
	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	Stick around.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	This morning, you know, Ben Dominich of The Federalist was on Fox and Friends saying, it's over.
	And then I talked to you and I talked to other people and I hear them say, no, it's in fact not over.
	Is this just wishful thinking on our parts?
	Are we grasping at straws in these several scenarios?
	I think it's reasonable for us to prepare ourselves for the possibility of a Joe Biden administration.
	But I am not willing to concede that that needs to happen until we have chased down every last bit of transparent truth that can be found here.
	And so I think we need to kind of walk...
	With the wisdom that it may not go the way we want it to go.
	But I think we need to fight for transparency, truth, and integrity in the process.
	And I don't think that most Americans have a problem with that conflict inside their hearts.
	That first and foremost, we get to the bottom of this.
	And let's say everything goes worst case scenario.
	And just remember this about Ben.
	Good old Ben.
	Love the Federalist.

	You're just not mad at anybody except one moment with your mom.
	Were you aware of that when you were writing this?
	You know, I mean, I've got my grievances, but I've learned to move on.
	I can't be constructive with them.
	I've learned to move on.
	I mean, even the deal with my mom, we had a grievance for eight years.
	But I knew that we were going to mend our fences and come back together.
	I just didn't know when, and it took eight years.
	Did you not get a role that you really wished you'd gotten, I mean, that you still think about to this day?
	No, Hugh, I've got to be honest.
	I'm pretty fortunate in everything that I passed on.
	I have no regret on anything I passed on.
	There was a movie that I did love that I was offered that I said no to, but I loved the movie, and that was L.A. Confidential.
	Curtis Hanson directed it.
	It was a great movie.
	And that came to me...
	And we're back.

	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter.

	Hey, George and Tom, I'm going to get to you, so I hope you keep holding, but I want to talk to Daryl from Anaheim.
	Daryl, how are you?
	I'm outstanding, Colonel, sir.
	How about yourself?
	Oh, my gosh.
	I'm just making it happen.
	I'm out on the streets making moves, you know?
	Nice.
	You have the key to the Cadillac?
	Are you doing donuts in the parking lot when you're finished?
	Pretty much.
	And then I'm going to leave my In-N-Out wrappers in the back seat.
	Awesome, awesome, sir.
	Didn't want to take up too much of your time.
	Just wanted to thank you for your service, sir.
	Thank you for the heavy lifting that you did.
	I got out of the cord about maybe nine months before the Fifi set the oscillator.
	Well, you were a Marine, Daryl.
	Yes, sir.
	Well, look, the Marines are an important, supportive branch of the Army, which is a decisive force of military.
	I'm just kidding!
	We kid because we love it.
	So how long did you spend in the Corps, Daryl?
	Just five years, sir.
	Just five years.
	Just five years.
	Five years in the Marine Corps is 25 years in Army years.
	It's like dog years.
	Devil dog years.
	Hey, I like that.
	I think we got a meme.
	Devil dog years.
	How did, look, Daryl, how did being in the military help you in your life?
	I know how the Army helped me.
	I know the skills it gave me and the perspective it gave me.
	How did it help you?
	And would you recommend it to young men and women today?
	Sir, being raised by a single mom on the south side of Chicago, I needed to make you shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
	Sorry.
	She could teach you how to be a gentleman, but she couldn't teach you how to be a man.
	She could teach you how to be a man.
	The Marine Corps did that for me.
	You know, Daryl, I had a...
	I was just this suburban kid from San Mateo, California, and I was in, and my platoon sergeant, when I was a second lieutenant, was a guy, and he took me aside one day.
	He said, you know, sir, my daughter was a prostitute.
	My brother OD'd.
	But I'm a platoon sergeant, and I'm about to become the first sergeant, the most respected non-commissioned officer in the company, the guy everybody looks up to.
	That's the opportunity I got, and I never forgot that.
	Thank you for your service, Daryl.
	You're the guy you served.

	Okay, bud.
	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 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 did Republicans do?
	They didn't go BMW. They figured out what the Democrats did and engaged in the same kind of tactics.
	And guess what?
	All four of those seats are now back in Republican hands.
	So that's what we ought to be doing.
	I told you before that the Democrats' secret weapon was they got everybody who could fog up a vote to fog up a mirror to vote.
	And in my opinion, most people who've never voted are very likely Democrats.
	I think more Republicans are far more motivated, far more aware of what's going on than your average Democrat.
	And therefore, the average non-voter or seldom voter is very likely to be a Democrat.
	And Democrats knew that.
	They went out to get them.
	Well, there are a lot of them who are Republicans, though.
	And did Republicans try and go out and get those?
	Figure out what these guys did.
	and make the arguments persuasive.

	Last week on Sunday, you had a Republican judge in Michigan say to the Giuliani team that a third party audit could go forward in 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 Anarum 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.

	We're going to be talking to Tom, Nick, and George.
	And a little later, we've got Christian Toto from Toto in Hollywood.
	We're going to talk about all things entertainment.
	Now, you're asking yourself, who is this lunatic who has taken over the asylum?
	I am Kurt Schlichter, retired United States Army Colonel, noted trial lawyer, senior columnist at townhall.com, the author of the conservative action series.
	Of Kelly Turnbull novels starring with People's Republic and at number five, Crisis.
	The most recent one got to 29 on all of Amazon.
	Super popular.
	Why?
	Because it doesn't disrespect conservatives.
	We'll be talking to Christian Toto about Hollywood's opportunity with underserved conservative.
	Because I know you guys are as sick as I am about woke stuff.
	And if you want to read my Town Hall column today, it's Town Hall VIP. You can use the promo code CURT and get in there.
	Wokeness is poison.
	But I want to talk to George in Westminster right now.
	He has a PhD in physics.
	Should we call him doctor?
	Because I'm not calling Jill Biden doctor.
	Dr. George, how are you?
	All right.
	Thank you for your service.
	No, I was a colonel.
	I didn't do anything, but I'll accept on behalf of the young guys who actually did the work while I stood there drinking coffee.
	Dr. George, physics is a real thing.
	Yes, it is.
	And I think you deserve your doctorate.
	I think you deserve the respect of being addressed as doctor.
	I think Jill Biden, doctor of education?
	I'm a doctor of laws.
	If somebody called me doctor, I'd take their temperature.
	Well, I'd call you a doctor.
	I've got some good lawyer friends.
	All right?
	Well, look, I'm glad to see you have diversity in your life, that you have doctors in there.
	How long did it take you to get your degree in physics?
	How many years of study did it require to get a degree in physics?
	As a graduate?
	In graduate school, I was in from 62 to 73. 11 years.
	Yeah, George, I'm calling you a doctor.
	You got a doctor after 11 years.
	Thank you, George, very much for that.
	I don't understand this thing of titles.
	And I got to tell you, a lot of people call me Colonel on here.
	That makes me a little uncomfortable, too.
	I always felt that I rented the Eagle.
	I was leased it.
	I signed for it.
	It wasn't mine.
	It didn't belong to me.
	It belonged to the people of the United States and should only be used in their service.
	I know people want to, you know, when they say, oh, Colonel Schlichter, and it's like, I know you're being respectful.
	And I appreciate that, but it ain't necessary.
	Colonel is what I did.
	Colonel is what I did.
	Oh, God.
	God, that's so pretentious.
	Oh, and like Vindman.
	Remember Lieutenant Colonel Vindman?
	You know, Colonel Sausage?
	My God, I'd never stand in front of the buttons on his uniform.
	Might go right through you when it exploded.
	That guy.
	I'm Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, dude.
	All us military guys were like, oh, I know him.
	Oh, maybe I don't know him exactly, but there's always a guy like that.
	He's always the guy who gets assigned to hand out the volleyballs at the MWR. He's that guy.
	You wouldn't put him in front of troops because, you know, I'd walk out of the battalion, you know, and he'd be hanging from the flagpole by his underwear.
	Mr. Benjamin, by your deposition, you did not know it was a court.
	I don't remember I had a sound return.
	I don't remember.
	I was in front of him and he testified.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	No, just...
	Good Lord.
	If I ever did that, except ironically, I would want you to come and beat me to a pulp.
	Now, Nick, Tom, and George, stick around.
	I'm going to get to you, but right now I want to bring on a friend of mine.
	A former Breitbart guy like myself.
	Subversive.
	conservative, creating alternative media.
	It's Christian Toto from Toto in Hollywood.
	Christian, great to talk to you again here on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Oh, thanks for having me.
	me i appreciate it you must be you this is your time to shine because you have the conservative uh portfolio for entertainment and with this covid nonsense people have been stuck in their houses they've been netflixing and amazoning and huluing and and this must be really your time to shine because everybody's got to be going what the hell can i watch that's not woke sad music Yeah, you know, yes and no.
	It is for all those reasons, but I have to say, the reason why I first got into this gig is because I really love movies.
	I grew up on movies, I cared about them, and to see the last 12 months with actor after actor, late night show host after late night show host, just disparaging me, people like me, people who are trying to get back to work.
	People who think differently than they think is really kind of, for lack of a better phrase, bummed me out.
	So it's, you know, it certainly, there's so much material for me to cover, but at the same time, the part of me that's in it for loving movies, it's really been crushed this year.
	You know, Christian Toto, I think there's really two kinds of movie people, and my contention is there are only a few movie stars left.
	Tom Cruise, and you may have some issues with his personal life, he is a movie star.
	Denzel Washington is a movie star.
	I would argue that Sharon Stone, back in the 90s, was the last female, real movie star of the kind where you just look on screen and go, that is a star.
	And now we have these woke nobodies, and they lecture their audience.
	Yeah, listen, the reason why movie stars are going away is because we know too much about them.
	They're on Twitter.
	They're on different talk shows.
	They kind of break the spell that the big stars used to kind of give.
	And it takes a real huge talent to be a movie star.
	You mentioned Denzel Washington and the greats are the greats.
	And they're just in short supply.
	But it's the other side which you're alluding to, the lecturing, the hectoring.
	You know, it's also the almost complete lack of information.
	They don't know what they're talking about.
	They're cacafing with fake news, like most of the media.
	And I think that's the most exasperating for me.
	You know, when you've spent four years saying that President Trump's going to start the concentration camps without an iota of a morsel of proof that that's even close to happening, they should be dismissed outright, and yet they're treated as like soothsayers.
	Like, every time Robert De Niro opens his mouth, we need to listen closely, because he's going to see something terribly important.
	No, he's not.
	No, he hasn't said anything important since he talked to Al Pacino in Kate Mantellini in Heat.
	Yeah, listen, a lot of these stars are great on screen, and I would throw De Niro in with sort of the last of the movie stars.
	He's always good.
	Yeah, but not anymore.
	He's become direct-to-video, cash the paycheck De Niro, and I think it's kind of sad.
	See, here's the thing.
	I live in Los Angeles.
	I know movie stars.
	I deal with the entertainment industry, at least peripherally.
	And a lot of the folks who come to the entertainment industry, You know, maybe they haven't spent years and years in school.
	Not that that makes you smarter.
	It actually makes you dumb in many cases.
	But they come in and suddenly they're being praised for their acting ability.
	And many of them are unbelievably talented.
	And I think a lot of them adopt this political persona as a way to be taken seriously when, in reality, they're American citizens like everybody else.
	You know, all they've got to do is put in the work, learn about the issues.
	You get a guy like Adam Baldwin, who's a well-known conservative actor, and I was talking to him about education, right?
	And this guy, he, like, knows it.
	Not like education is good, but he's like, well, you know, a 502C plan will do XYZ. And he really knows it, so he has opinions that are based on something.
	And I just find it sad that these folks are trying to act.
	Their way through sophistication.
	Christian, we only have about a minute left.
	I'd like to hold you over for the next segment, if that's okay.
	And by the way, one reason why that happens is because the media asks them all the political questions.
	And if they give the quote-unquote right answers, they get tons of publicity.
	They get tons of love.
	They get adulation.
	And as an actor, you want the publicity to kind of cut yourself away from the pack and get yourself noticed.
	Well, it's kind of sad.
	Maybe you'd want to get notice for your talent.
	Look, I'm going to force Christian Toto to stay on the line and come back for the next segment, because we have a lot more to talk about entertainment, and I particularly want to talk about conservative entertainment, like my book, Crisis, which you should go out and get.
	This is Kurt Schlichter, in for Dennis Prager.

	That individual who'd never 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.
	And most people, almost everyone, except the odd caller to our show, wrote it off as a publicity stunt.

	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.

	So very close to Hollywood.
	It's the Dennis Prager Show.
	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	I'm continuing my talk with a great Christian Toto.
	Christian, where can people find your brand of conservative entertainment analysis?
	Well, my website is hollywoodintoto.com, and I also write quite a bit now at The Daily Wire.
	Moving up in the world, man.
	You started out at Breitbart just like I did.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I joined on, and then Andrew Breitbart passed.
	Gosh, maybe six or seven months later.
	It was just such a stunning moment.
	It was terrible.
	I don't know how many days go by where I don't think, gosh, what Andrew said about this.
	How would he change the landscape?
	Because that's what he did.
	I think one of Andrew's...
	Look, I think Andrew is a flat-out visionary.
	I've met a lot of interesting, influential people.
	Andrew was a visionary.
	I think he also generated talent, like yourself.
	And I think his views of entertainment really resonated with our movement.
	He said politics is downstream from culture, famously.
	That's one of the problems that we have, Christian Toto.
	There's not a lot of conservative entertainment out there.
	I've written my books, the Kelly Turnbull series, a novel starring in People's Republic, most recent is Crisis, and they're very, very popular, and they're very cinematic, according to people who are cinema guys who read them and say, Kurt, this could be a movie.
	I say, well, will someone make you a movie?
	They go, no, no, no, you're drinking.
	You're day-drinking, Kurt.
	Nobody's going to make this into a movie.
	And in fact, I think it'd be very tough to have a conservative action-adventure series made into media.
	Why is that when so many of us would be happy to say, hey, take our money?
	There are many, many studios and executives who would recognize that, well, big book sales, that would translate potentially into big movie sales, but they don't want to get in that business.
	Because they'd rather sell products that have a message that they agree with.
	You've got about 6,000 late-night talk shows or variations thereof.
	None of them are remotely right-of-center, let alone balanced.
	You would think, on paper, you put one out there that's right-of-center, it would just absolutely go bananas with the ratings.
	But the power that be won't risk that.
	They don't want that message out there.
	A comedian, Michael Lockett, said he wants to pitch a more balanced talk show around town.
	And he was rejected for that very reason.
	Ivan Coven, Big Tech, and other censoring right-of-center comedians like Ryan Long and JP Sears, they don't want that message out there.
	The same sort of cultural forces that are within Big Tech are also within the Hollywood ecosystem.
	It's very hard.
	And that makes trying to put one of your books on the big screen even harder because all the traditional studios will fight it.
	Well, Christian Toto, one of the things That I used to count on was Hollywood greed, which is bottomless, as you know.
	And I thought, well, there's money to be made, so someone's going to make it.
	But it seems in the last few years, we've seen Hollywood willing to forego money in order to promote its...
	Weird, leftist vision.
	And that kind of, you know, it kind of makes us scratch our heads as capitalists.
	But in fact, these guys are happy to leave money on the table.
	Yeah, they are.
	And, you know, it does kind of, it makes you scratch your head.
	Look at the most recent Charlie's Angels reboot.
	It was as woke as possible.
	It was a disaster.
	And I don't think that's a lesson that was learned.
	The recent Terminator movie, they focused...
	Almost exclusively on the three female leads.
	And by the way, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the heart of this franchise.
	You can certainly cast female stars and make them action heroes.
	Great.
	But why would you ignore Arnold?
	And the movie, of course, Tank.
	It's happening again and again and again.
	And it does hurt storytelling.
	Just a quick example.
	The team behind Wonder Woman, the 2017 film, came back for the new one, Wonder Woman 1984. They look like different movies.
	The first one was exciting and funny and cinematic and wonderful.
	Gal Gadot was terrific.
	The new movie, I think it's maybe three years later, and all sort of the woke sort of thinking went into the project, is a disaster.
	It's just a disaster.
	It's a horrible movie.
	And I can't believe the same people who brought the first one to theaters made the second, but this time they wanted to send some messages.
	And I think that really hurts the creative spirit.
	Look, I think it was Samuel Goldwyn who said, if you want to send a message, use Western Union.
	Yeah, it's an old school technology, but the message remains the same.
	Exactly.
	I just, I look at this and I'm so...
	Bored, Christian.
	I'm so bored of the hat cliches.
	My favorite, the 110-pound beautiful woman, whether she's in a Roman movie or a night movie or a Western, she's got a sword and she's fighting the 250-pound guy, and of course she wins.
	And it's like, eh, I mean...
	I mean, we all know the 110-pound woman with the sword is going to lose 99 times out of 100 against a 250-pound guy with a battle axe.
	And it's just boring.
	And it's dishonest because everyone knows it's garbage.
	And yet we see it again and again.
	And everything on Netflix, everything's got to be about somebody's trans, and oh, you know, somebody's this, and somebody's that.
	Shut up!
	Give me a story!
	Heck, here's how it got to me.
	The infantry officer watched Downton Abbey!
	I felt, and even that had a little woke in it.
	Yeah, you know, it affects the stories we see in many ways.
	You get the overt lectures, you get the propaganda, but also you don't get certain things.
	I can't even imagine or list all the stories and themes and characters and subplots that we will not see because they are inappropriate or unacceptable as deemed by sort of the woke elite.
	And that's what's frustrating.
	I mean, how about a movie set in Venezuela, sort of the tragedy there and the people's...
	We're people suffering at the hands of dictatorial policies.
	Well, they kind of had that with that terrible Jack Ryan show, I think it was on Amazon, and I think they were in Venezuela, and nobody mentioned, you know, these guys are, you know, communists.
	These guys are pretty much, they've done what Warnock and Ossoff would do if they got elected to the Senate, you know?
	It was staring them right in the face, and they...
	They craned their necks so far.
	They pulled the muscle to avoid the truth, and that's part of the problem.
	You're not seeing truth on screen sometimes, and I think, you know, when you look at different stories, yes, they're fictional, but the ones that resonate that matter are based on universal truth.
	I just re-watched Miracle on 34th Street for the thousandth time recently, and it felt modern in a way, because it kind of connected with truths that don't fade to black over time.
	They're still true now, and that's what great...
	There's a lot of great storytelling out there, especially on the small screen, but there's also a lot of junk.
	I was indeed compiling my top ten worth of the year list because there were so many different possibilities.
	How did you manage to cut it down to just ten?
	Christian Toto, we've got about 30 seconds.
	Where can we find you?
	My website is HollywoodIntoto.com and you can also find me at The Daily Wire.
	And visit me on Twitter.
	I'm sorry, on Parler.
	I'm kind of weeding myself off of Twitter and Facebook for the obvious reasons.
	So I'm on Parler and also on Mealy.
	So come hunt me down.
	Let's chat with you.
	Thank you, Christian Toto.

	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. - Okay.
	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.

	Normal people have had their voice suppressed.
	Anywhere between 250 to 275 to 300,000 people have died from the Chinese coronavirus.
	The lockdowns have killed dreams, ambitions and human beings through suicide and other means.
	How did all of this happen?
	Thank you.
	Aristotle famously said that we are the speaking beings.
	If we do not have the ability to speak and communicate, we are no different than the animals of the wild.
	Aristotle was a scientist.
	Some would call him an empiricist.
	It's not a perfect categorization, but he cared about what was happening in the natural world, where Plato cared about what was happening in the clouds, the space of ideas.
	Aristotle cared a lot about what was actually provable and based in reason.
	That's why he is called just the philosopher in a lot of traditions.
	So when you're not able to speak, when you're not able to spread ideas, Don't be surprised when your entire civilization starts to unravel.
	So when you're not able to say, hey, I think hydroxychloroquine might actually work, and all of a sudden your YouTube account gets shut down, your Twitter account gets shut down, your Facebook page gets shut down, you get fired like Dr. Simone Gold.
	These Soviet-style tactics that are used suppress speech.
	So what ended up happening?
	There was a massive PR push done by some great doctors, Dr. Erickson, Dr. Simone Gold, amongst many others, to try to just start a conversation on how hydroxychloroquine could be helpful.
	Keep up.

	Hi, I'm Kurt Schlichter, guest hosting for the great Dennis Prager.
	For reasons that escape me and are baffling everybody at the studio, he has decided to allow me...
	Retired Army colonel, no trial lawyer, senior columnist at Town Hall, and author of the conservative action novel Crisis, which you should go get.
	He has decided to allow me to guest host today, December 30, 2020, a red-letter day to be marked on your calendar, to be chiseled into stone and posted around the empire.
	Let me get serious for a second about something that's important.
	Taking care of the less fortunate is important.
	We don't want the government to do it, but that doesn't mean we abdicate our responsibility.
	Now, as we head into the homestretch of 2020, a year most of us will be happy to see end, and I know we will at Fort Schlichter, we're in the homestretch.
	It's over.
	Almost.
	Before 2020 ends on midnight this Thursday, Daz Prager wanted me to remind you 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.
	You can help.
	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.
	It's a classic win-win, and I did it!
	I have contributed to Angel Tree.
	If I can do it, you can do it.
	It's getting late, though.
	There's still time.
	Between now and December 31st, this Thursday, you can still help the ongoing year-round work of Prison Fellowship and score a solid year-end tax deduction for any amount if 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 and click on the Angel Tree banner.
	Thank you for always being so generous and for getting a year-end tax deduction in addition.
	What do you got on your calendar for next year, for 2021?
	My column tomorrow in Town Hall is my predictions for 2021. My prediction is pain.
	But you're going to want to read that.
	But what are you going to do in 2021?

	I think that President Asterisk is going to get elected in January.
	That is my assessment of the facts.
	But Brent wonders, are you still the render schlichter?
	Brent, tell me how I'm terrible.
	Hello, Colonel Schlichter Esquire.
	I choose to tell you not what you want to hear, but what you need to hear.
	I love it!
	I called on Jennifer Horne's show, and I did call you Surrender Schlichter, and I'm adding Submissive and Socialist Slavery Schlichter now.
	Whoa!
	That's a lot of S's!
	That's a lot of S's!
	Brent!
	Hold on, Brent, let me ask you.
	What would you like to hear?
	Would you like to hear that the Kraken is going to make everything all right?
	Would you like to hear that magic elves are going to come and create justice for you?
	What would you like to hear, Brent?
	What lie would you like me to tell you?
	Or would you like my assessment based on, I don't know, my 25 years of being a lawyer and my strategy degree and the fact that I was in Las Vegas helping Rick Grinnell fight for the president?
	Thank you, Brent.
	I don't need to know what you need to hear.
	Because I'm going to tell you what you need to hear.
	You need to hear the truth.
	And you might not like it.
	You probably won't like it.
	I don't care.
	If you come to me, if you come to Dennis Prager, you're going to hear the truth.
	I'm guest host Kurt Schlechter, sitting in for the great Dennis Prager.
	We've got more truth to come, and we've got more calls.
	Doug, Scott, Nick, Tom, and Michael.

	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	This morning, you know, Ben Dominich of The Federalist was on Fox and Friends saying, it's over.
	And then I talked to you and I talked to other people and I hear them say, no, it's in fact not over.
	Is this just wishful thinking on our parts?
	Are we grasping at straws in these several scenarios?
	I think it's reasonable for us to prepare ourselves for the possibility of a Joe Biden administration.
	But I am not willing to concede that that needs to happen until we have chased down every last bit of transparent truth that can be found here.
	And so I think we need to kind of walk.
	With the wisdom that it may not go the way we want it to go.
	But I think we need to fight for transparency, truth, and integrity in the process.
	And I don't think that most Americans have a problem with that conflict inside their hearts.
	That first and foremost, we get to the bottom of this.
	And let's say everything goes worst case scenario.
	And just remember this about Ben.
	Good old Ben.
	Love the Federalist.
	Great website.
	He's married to Meghan McCain, who just...
	By nature of who she is, has a certain predisposition about Trump that probably permeates their marriage on some level.
	At the same time, it is vital that even if Joe Biden were to end up being sworn in on January 20th, that the work that Sidney Powell is doing, that the work that the Justice Department and the Director of National Intelligence is doing, that the special counsel that may or may not be assigned to look into this, We have to chase this down to the nth degree until we know every last bit of it. - Okay. - Keep up with what's trending.

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

	you oh we're
	back on the Dennis Prager Show.
	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter, and I am greatly disappointed that my request for Sir Mix-a-Lot as the bumper music was rejected.
	I don't understand.
	Nothing says Baby Got Back like the Dennis Prager Show.
	Michael, my homie from Ohio, you dig my taste in bumper music, don't you?
	Yeah, I do.
	I don't know that I would say that Sir Mix-a-Lot was something that I would expect, but sure.
	Was it Baby Got Back or was it some kind of Sir Mix-a-Lot B-side that I'm not aware of?
	Hey, the greatest hits of Sir Mix-a-Lot is a 7-inch single with Baby Got Back on one side and the remix of Baby Got Back on the other.
	I mean, Foghat's got more hits.
	I mean, if I'm going to ask anybody about Sir Mix-a-Lot B-Sides, it's going to be a super conservative military.
	That's the Dennis Miller show.
	That would be the Dennis Miller show.
	Here's a fun fact.
	I once stumped Dennis Miller on his show.
	I was a guest.
	I said, that's shorter than the track list on the greatest hits of Terry Jacks.
	And he pauses and he says, What?
	One Tin Soldier?
	I said, no!
	Seasons in the Sun!
	One Tin Soldier is Adi Buttigieg's theme song.
	So that's literally my greatest achievement in life.
	You know, the Dennis Miller show is a tiny bit before my time, and I'm 36. Thank you for making me feel close to death.
	I turned 56 day before Christmas, which is probably oppressive and a microaggression of some kind.
	You know, you're 36.
	Did you ever feel that you would ever be 36 when you were younger?
	Actually, no.
	You are from Cleveland, Ohio, where the rivers burn.
	And asked to leave?
	I was asked to leave.
	It's a long story.
	I was a troubled child.
	In any case, but no, look, I'm 56. I feel great.
	I'm vital.
	I'm moving around.
	Everything hurts all the time, but isn't that how it's supposed to be?
	I never thought I'd get to 56. 30 years ago right now, I was in the middle of the Saudi desert.
	My mission was, hey, go into chemically contaminated areas.
	Sounds like a great job, huh?
	Run a car wash in them.
	You know, I think everything's gravy for me.
	You're 36, man.
	You're way ahead of the power curve.
	I guess.
	I mean, I don't know.
	But my main question was just, I mean, you are a super conservative guy.
	I've heard you on this show and on other shows.
	And how do you end up with such a good taste in rock and punk music being like a military man and a conservative guy?
	It blows my mind.
	Well, remember, I went to college in Southern California in the 80s.
	I was listening.
	Listen to all the good stuff, you know?
	You know, if I tell you my favorite band's The Replacements, that should blow your mind.
	Oh, no, that's awesome.
	And I think I've heard you play, like, Husker Du and stuff before.
	Oh, yes.
	I just wonder how...
	Yes, my ears rang for three days after I heard Husker Du in concert.
	My favorite song, Michael from Cleveland, Ohio, is Husker Du's cover of Eight Miles High.
	Which descends into this giant wall of complete screaming insanity.
	It would make Dennis Prager cry.
	He's probably listening right now going, what the hell are these people talking about on my show?
	And the last few cuts were definitely just regular Dennis Prager bump music.
	And I was like, oh, I thought they might play some Kurt Schlichter music.
	How about this?
	Maybe I can talk my intro.
	I beg him to get us out.
	Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division.
	What do you think?
	I can watch it.
	He scratches his eyes going, what the joy the what?
	Love Will Tear Us Apart?
	I know that song.
	Oh, it's a great song.
	Hey, thank you very much, Michael, in Cleveland, Ohio.
	I want to get to Nick in New Orleans, who says, Kurt, you're saying there's no way to fight the fraud.
	Did I get that right, Nick?
	No, I don't think so.
	First of all, I just want to say thanks for taking my call, Kurt.
	And also, it's a little embarrassing, but I'm a huge My Chemical Romance fan.
	What?
	What?
	You don't cut yourself, do you?
	Do you have a Chinese tattoo that you think means luck but really means sucker?
	No, no, nothing like that.
	Really?
	You're a My Chemical Romance fan?
	Unironically.
	Alright, I'm going to write you a prescription.
	Dr. Schlichter is going to write you a prescription.
	I want you to take two replacements and a Husker Du and a Joy Division and call me in the morning.
	Nick, what do you have to say about fighting the fraud?
	We've only got about a minute or two.
	Okay, I agree with you that the judges, the way things are looking, the judges are not going to overturn the fraud.
	But there's so much fraud that we're basically saying that fraud can never be overturned.
	I'm not saying that.
	I want to be really clear.
	I don't think there is a court remedy for what happened in November.
	Before us.
	I think the fight is 2022. I think the fight is 2024. I think we have to prepare the battlefield with targeted litigation to make sure that fair processes exist.
	I think our legislatures, Republican legislatures, and we have most of them, Nick, I think they need to act to make sure we have fair things.
	Look, if President Asterisk had won fair and square, which I do not believe he did, If President Asterisk had won fair and square, I would grumble.
	I would complain.
	I would wonder just what the hell the American people were thinking.
	But I would accept it.
	I don't accept what happened.
	I think it was full of irregularities.
	It is, yes, that's a lawyer word.
	Irregularities include everything from outright fraud to incompetence to scams to silly rules and laws that don't allow us to ensure fair elections.
	I don't think this election was fair.
	He will forever be president, asterisk to me.
	But you lose battles, but you win the war.
	2022 is coming up.
	2024 is coming up.
	And Georgia is coming up.
	If you are in Georgia and you haven't voted, go out and vote today for Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.
	Fight the power.
	Fight those socialists.
	This is the Dennis Prager Show.
	I am Kurt Schlichter.
	Stick around.
	Stick around.
	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 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...
	Wow!
	Holy cow!
	Mark this day, folks.
	This is Kurt Schlichter, guest hosting for the great Dennis Prager, and we just opened a segment with Husker Du's epic cover of 8 Miles High.
	The guys in the booth are sitting there, they're banging their heads at the sonic explosion of proto-funk guitar skronk that's blowing minds across the country on the Salem Radio Network.
	You'd expect nothing less from me, guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	It has been an honor to sit in here for Dennis Prager.
	This is a guy I have listened to literally for decades.
	A guy I've had the privilege to hang out with a couple times.
	I'm sure he doesn't remember me.
	Every time I see him, I'm like, hi Dennis, Kurt Schlichter, just in case, because I don't think he knows me.
	But he is a legend, and I am so proud to have had the chance to be here and to work with his incredible team here at 870 AM, The Answer, in Glendale, California.
	Scott, in Santa Clarita, I want to talk to you real quick about some conservative resources for entertainment.
	What you got for us?
	First of all, is Colonel my Colonel unacceptable address?
	No, I'll go with it.
	That's allowable.
	I'll allow it.
	Okay.
	Yeah, for anybody who wants some good resources regarding people who are fighting against the woke in entertainment, from comic books to video games, to publishing to movies, some great YouTube resources out there, people like NerdRotic, RazorFist.
	Heel versus babyface.
	Friday night tied to the conglomeration.
	Quarterblock Garrett from Stephen Crowder is on that stream every Friday night.
	There are people out there who are fighting on the front lines against woke entertainment.
	So, Scott, you're saying there's a Sammy's not underground out there for conservatives, and I want to add, you can get my Kelly Turnbull series of novels, the latest being Crisis, to fight the power.
	You're saying you can find conservative stuff.
	Yeah, a lot of it, some really eye-opening stuff, and by the way, if you want to play some action, I'm Scott the Lawyer for all my punk and trad friends out there.
	You want to play some decent bumper music, play Get A Rope by Coxspar.
	There's a good conservative punk rock tune for that.
	Okay, anyway, we've got...
	Brent, I want to get you real quick.
	We only have about 30 seconds.
	Tell me how I'm terrible about surrendering to a socialist.
	Well, the problem is...
	Hi Brent.
	Yes, your legal tactics and strategies are going to destroy and enslave America.
	At the War College, Sun Tzu teaches, you have to know your enemy.
	And this enemy doesn't get sweeter with victory.
	That's when the millions and millions start being murdered, and there won't be a second election.
	And if it is, it'll be a full election like in North Korea.
	Well, Brent, we only have a few seconds, so thank you.
	You think that assessing the situation is equivalent to surrender.
	It isn't.
	I say never surrender.
	I say keep fighting.
	Yeah, we had a setback in November.
	We're going to turn around and we're going to counterattack.
	And we're going to win.
	Why are we going to win?
	Because we've got freedom on our side.
	We've got justice on our side.
	This is the Dennis Prager Show.
	I'm guest host Kurt Schlichter.
	Thanks for listening.
