Thank you.
Laura Ingraham That is a permanent feature of Prager neurons, of names.
I could sooner remember her phone number.
Anyway, Laura Ingraham put it up on her Twitter account, my appearance on Fox News, wherein I spoke of, in spoken opposition to the utter...
Unprecedented attack on civil liberties by states like California.
And I wrote a piece that has been reprinted in different parts of the world, the Sovietization of California.
It was reprinted in Russian.
Interesting, isn't that ironic?
That Russians are reading what is happening to America, Russians here outside of Russia.
And thinking, oh my God, I left Russia only to see Russia come back in Western countries.
So I want to read to you.
So I made the point, isn't it absurd, that I cannot eat in a restaurant eight feet from somebody, but I can eat two inches from somebody on an airplane.
Right?
That is what...
Let me see, where did I put that?
There we go.
So listen to some of the responses.
So here is Real Bob at FanFool2.
Because the person on the plane doesn't have a choice but to eat with Dennis Prager.
Because going to a restaurant to eat with Dennis Prager is a choice nobody wants to make.
You have to hear the intelligence of the responses to my appearance on Fox News.
Next one.
Copy...
Yes, that's right.
I could have stopped at FanFool, too.
Yes.
CopyKate at CopyKate510.
Because your president failed us.
No strategy.
Mixed messages.
Every man for himself tactics created this patchwork approach.
Thank Trump and Pence.
Yes, it's because of Trump and Pence that I have no liberty in California.
God, how did I miss the two and two connection?
Why is there no liberty in Canada?
I'll read to you about what happened in Quebec.
People arrested and mauled because there were six people in an apartment celebrating New Year because a snitch called the police.
And they're told in Quebec, snitch.
That is a policy.
I told you, I don't know if I've told you, the greatest change in my thinking...
The most dramatic single change in my thinking that I recall in my lifetime took place last year, when I started to understand the silent German and the silent Russian much better.
Unfortunately, somebody snitched on six people celebrating New Year's in Quebec, and the police arrested them.
Does it bother you?
Training now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
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 to...
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 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.
The country was not as digitized.
Donald Trump...
was experiencing one of the greatest economies in American history, if not the greatest economy in American history.

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.

Let's look at the last four years.
Let's look at the last 40 years and ask the question.
Welcome back everybody.
Dennis Prager here.
And, God willing, we will have our cruise June.
My listeners and I going from London to Iceland.
It will undoubtedly be sold out because people are craving healthy experiences.
There's a banner at my website.
I'm going to come back to more of the responses, give you an idea of how the woke mind thinks.
There's never been a more important election, and I don't say that all the time.
I have not said that.
In fact, I said that 2016 presidential was more important than even the 2020, which was extremely important.
And I've certainly never said it about a non-presidential election.
If the Senate goes Democrat, It means it goes far left.
We have a Bolshevik Senate at that point.
The Wall Street Journal gave some of the consequences that would happen.
So if you are in Georgia and you are listening, you need to make sure that every human you know votes.
I don't know if this is correct, but I have read that there is a certain percentage of Republicans in Georgia who will not vote out of anger over the cheating that they believe and may well have occurred.
I don't know it for a fact.
I suspect it has.
But even if I were as certain as I am that I am living, I would...
So why would I want to enable them to have the Senate?
Oh, they'll cheat anyway?
You're making it easier for them to cheat.
Look, my belief that humans are governed by reason has never been high.
But to see my own side governed by emotion, which is...
100% what any Georgian Republican is allowing to happen if he or she does not vote tomorrow.
According to The Blaze, 55% of very conservative Georgia voters who won't vote in runoffs say they'll stay home due to rigged process.
A recent poll conducted in Georgia by SurveyUSA of voters who do not plan to show up for next week's runoff, this is obviously from last week, found that 55% of respondents who identify as very conservative said the reason they will stay home is they believe the process is rigged.
So let me help those who wish to crush my country.
I, a Republican, will not vote and make certain That the Democrats win the Senate.
That's deep.
That is really deep.
In its analysis of the results conducted for WXIA-TV, SurveyUSA wrote, Of those who are not voting in the U.S. Senate runoffs, a disproportionate number are conservative.
What do you think of that?
I'll read you more about that later.
1-8 Prager 776 is the number.
877-243-7776.
I can't get over the Quebec thing.
There's a video of it.
It's gone viral.
Of the police arresting people.
You are more likely to be arrested in parts of North America.
For having visitors at your home than you are for stealing from a store.
They still haven't found the people.
Have you seen that viral video in Manhattan?
Fifth Avenue and 21st Street, I believe it was.
Did you see?
You saw the video, no?
People stomping on this BMW while a couple was inside it?
Oh, my God.
It is truly horrific.
Smashing the...
Jumping up legs first onto the windshield.
Smashing a bicycle onto the windshield and onto the side windows while occupants were inside.
An old woman who was the third person was...
Why?
Why?
Oh, that's precious.
Because they could.
Because it's New York City.
Because in New York City, you can hurt people with no consequence.
That is the reason.
There is no other reason.
There is no other reason.
They didn't know the people in the car.
It was midday.
And when young men can't...
I'm sorry?
They were not even wearing masks.
That's correct.
Nobody won a championship.
All your reasonings...
Nobody was wearing a MAGA hat.
Yes, if these people were Republicans, I am an aardvark.
I've been charged with being an aardvark on occasion, so it's not that crazy.
I'm happy you asked me why, so that I could tell you exactly why.
When the male of the species believes that he can hurt people with no consequence, many of them will.
It's so interesting how often I have said this, and the left used to attack me, oh my God, to say that male nature has to conquer the urge to rape.
Oh my God, oh, what is he, crazy?
What is he, nuts?
Because there is no wisdom on the left.
None, none.
They don't understand, they don't even believe there's such a thing as human nature.
Men can be precious, beautiful creatures.
If they control themselves.
But you think these kids, they're not kids, I don't know, they're in their 20s, were taught to control themselves?
By the way, since a lot of you are undoubtedly curious, I have no idea what race they were.
It was a mixed crowd.
To the extent that I could see any faces, there was no predominant race.
That I could see.
As George Gilder, who deeply affected my life, I read his book, Naked Nomads, about single men.
And I'll never forget what he said in that book.
You want to know who commits violent crime?
Forget race.
Forget economics.
Single males.
It was one of the most revelatory things.
George Gilder is one of the prophets of our time.
And he's still brilliant.
You can catch him at PragerU.
He does some videos at PragerU, by the way.
You know what's fascinating?
You know, we did a video.
It's one of the most popular videos, one of the most widely viewed, that slavery was the source of the Civil War.
And now the left, which said, oh wow, we agree with PragerU.
They don't agree anymore.
The New York Times told them it wasn't slavery.
This is Lonnie Chen of the Hoover Institution for townhall.com.
The eyes of the political world are all on Georgia, and there's good reason for that.
On January 5th, voters in the Peach State will decide the fate of the next several years in American politics, and maybe beyond.
A win by either or both of incumbent Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue will require President-elect Joe Biden and his liberal allies in Congress to work together with Republicans to pass common-sense legislation, rather than pursuing progressive priorities like the Green New Deal.
And it will mean that some of Biden's more extreme appointments, people who either aren't qualified or who are far out of the mainstream, will be rejected by the Senate.
The runoff elections on January the 5th will be held in Georgia, but their impact will be felt by more than the 10 million people who live there.
All Americans should recognize that nothing short of the course our country will take for the next several years is at stake.
I'm Lon He Chen.

We haven't seen somebody leave office since Nixon, who potentially was looking down the barrel of serious prosecution for multiple felonies.
And Trump...
I mean, CNN is reporting today that one of the people Trump's considering pardoning is not only himself, but Allen Weisselberg, who is the top financial guy at the Trump Organization.
I mean, if the president pardons him, pardons the top financial guy at his own business on his way out of office, I just, I mean, this is, it's worth, it is worth contending anew with the threat to the republic of having a felon in the White House.
Right.
Because a man whose son is in bed with communist China and he just willy-nilly emails requests for $10 million from Chinese tycoons.
That's fine, right?
And who are those sources who are talking to you about the pardons for members of the Trump Organization?
Are the same sources that sold you that we have his tax returns blockbuster that you teach?
Do you remember what she did?
For 41 minutes, she teased the tax returns.
Only then, in the last segment, she must be really in trouble.
If you have to tease something, I mean, teasing something over one break, yeah, that's kind of like radio TV, you do that.

I don't love the fact that Congress is now getting involved in our elections.
I don't.
This is not something that I have great delight in.
This is not something that should be taken lightly.
Because as soon as you give the power of elections to a legislative branch, you almost become a parliamentary system.
You lose the idea of a republic and a state-based republic as that.
That's a very dangerous road to head on.
However, unusual times call for unusual measures.
And nothing that is being discussed right now in any way whatsoever Is unconstitutional.
Some people are going to be laying the criticism that this is an unconstitutional.
No, no, no.
It's unprecedented.
Outside of the election of 1876, which we'll dive into as a kind of refresher course, as we've talked about here before.
It definitely has not been done in the last... ...
Hi, everybody.
Dennis Prager here.
Thank you.
Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
Now let me get this straight, gentlemen.
This happened in the opening session.
Opening sessions of The House begin with a prayer.
They still do.
It's amazing.
Listen to the mockery of the prayer made by a...
A Methodist minister, so he describes himself.
It's not shocking what's happened to mainstream Protestantism, mainstream Judaism, and mainstream Catholicism is the antithesis of Judaism, Catholicism, and Protestantism.
Here, listen to the mockery and stupidity of the ending of this prayer in Congress.
When was this made?
It was on Friday.
See, Friday was January 1st.
They were in session this weekend?
Okay, fine.
And he is also a politician, is that correct?
Oh, he's a member of Congress?
What's his name?
It really doesn't matter.
What matters is that he's a Democrat.
Emanuel Cleaver from what state?
Missouri.
So listen to this Did he mean that to be a joke I I don't think so.
First of all, if he did, it's mockery.
If he didn't, the man is a bona fide moron.
And that this has not been made a bigger deal of is only because the press mimics Pravda.
The press in the United States has been Sovietized.
You will not get the truth.
They will omit what bothers them, and they will lie about what they want to bring to you.
It is much worse than fake news.
It's purely a form of propaganda, of dishonest propaganda, our mainstream media.
They may have great articles on cooking and on things that have nothing to do with society.
There may be a great article on knitting.
There was.
The New York Times had a big feature on men now knitting.
Did you see that?
Because that's a great, that's a leap forward for mankind, for men.
More men are now knitting.
Sewing, actually.
Yeah, you've got to, I think, this is a Hall of Famer, and Sean, I think it should be preceded by the end, so that people know what.
What we're talking about.
Because alone, it sounds like it's not a prayer.
Amen and a woman.
That's a new one.
Did anybody ever complain that amen is about men?
But I would expect the left to do that.
That's perfectly...
It shows you that there's no thought as well.
Did anybody on the left condemn this?
Was it reported in the New York Times?
It's worth looking.
I'd like to see why only conservative media?
Well, you get far more truth than mainstream media reported this.
Amen and a woman.
Let me explain to you Amen.
First of all, it is not Amen.
That is the English form of Amen.
A-M-E-N is the Hebrew Amen.
Amen comes from the Hebrew word Emunah.
Emunah means belief.
So when you say Amen in English or Amen in Hebrew, you are stating, I believe.
I affirm.
Amen has as much to do with men as it does with Cyclops.
So the question is, at what level of absurdity will the left begin to have a backlash?
So this young woman, I want to have on again, a Harvard student, was telling me about a dear friend of hers.
She described, and I believe her, as extremely bright.
Graduated, just graduated, University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school.
Extremely high grades.
Can't find a job.
Has two things going against her.
She's white and she comes from an affluent family.
Every consulting firm she has applied to has rejected her.
That's right.
That's what's happening.
One day, but it may be too late, people will understand that I was right.
The left destroys everything it touches.
The left is a cancer.
Liberals are wimps, and left is a cancer.
What is that, sir?
Hey, everybody, it's a new year.
Why don't you take a resolution, or make a resolution.
Take one, too.
That you don't want to have any more muscle pain.
Joint pain.
This would be a nice way to start the year.

And it's kind of like I knew that I never would meet Billy Graham.
I hoped to meet him all these years, but I never met him.
And he was such a special man.
So it amazes me whenever I talk to people who knew him personally the way you did, you know, I'm just in awe of that.
Because not only did you know him as a friend, he was your mentor as an evangelist.
You are today doing what he did.
You're doing gigantic crusades in stadiums.
Obviously not recently because of the weird shutdown, but it's...
It's just, I'm in awe of it, because as you just said, there's nobody like him.
There's just, there was nobody like him.
He was a unique figure in the 20th century.
He really was.
And, you know, speaking of having dinner with him, I had lunch with him once.
He was doing one of his crusades, and we went to the Red Lobster.
Or as Billy would have said, the Red Lobster.
You know, lobster.
So we're sitting there, and, you know, Billy had a ball cap on.
And here's the funny thing.
While we're in town, where Billy's doing a crusade, there was an atheist convention happening at the same time.
So we're sitting at this table, and people recognize Billy, even though he has a bald cap pulled over his face.
He had sort of that profile that looked like it belonged on Mount Rushmore, you know?
And it's a funny thing.
Here are these atheists who were impressed by Billy Graham.
Oh, hello, Mr. Graham.
And they're shaking his hand.
And you can tell because they had the little name tag for the convention they were at.
They were part of this atheist convention.
He was so kind to them.

As I've said earlier in this program, This is not something I take lightly.
This is not something that I think should become routine.
But while we're at it, while we are talking about this, the Democrats are inevitably going to be saying this is unprecedented.

Hello, my friend.
I'm Dennis Prager.
We have a Republican in Georgia.
And I'm a little afraid to take your call, Rex, because I don't want to get depressed.
But I'm taking it.
You're the first call of 2021. Hi.
Hi there, Dennis, and Happy New Year to you.
Thank you.
Yes, I just wanted to maybe offer a different point of view on why some Republicans in Georgia may not be very excited about voting for the two candidates tomorrow.
But basically, I don't think it's because of the system being rigged, or at least in their minds they think it's rigged.
I think it's more a reaction to the weak response from the Republican officials and, to some extent, the candidates themselves in response to the The allegations of some of the misbehavior in the November election.
Yeah, I know that.
But you use the phrase, are not particularly excited or not very excited.
I don't care if they're excited.
I care if they vote.
I agree with you.
And I will be voting for both tomorrow.
But it's a bitter pill to swallow.
Yes, that's right.
And the reason for the phrase bitter pill is because many pills are bitter, but they work.
That's why people take bitter pills.
The analogy is perfect.
I don't care if these two Republican...
I'm not saying they are at all.
I don't care if they are...
Even like Mitt Romney, and I don't believe they are, we need a Republican Senate.
We need it as badly as we needed a Republican President.
Well, you know what?
He didn't depress me.
I want to thank you.
It was a good opening call.
I want to read to you from the Wall Street Journal what the Wall Street Journal predicts would happen if they, in fact, win the Senate.
Here's what's at stake in Georgia, in Georgia, the Wall Street Journal this weekend.
Here's the difference between the Democratic and Republican Senate this year.
Start with control of committees, which would shift markedly leftward.
Republicans would lose their ability to investigate issues like FBI abuse and Hunter Biden's China dealings.
A GOP Senate is likely to approve most of Mr. Biden's cabinet picks, but Democrats would whisk through even controversial nominees like Neera Tanden at the White House Budget Office or Xavier Becerra at HHS. There would be no check on judicial nominees.
Democratic Chairman would include Bernie Sanders, who would try to gut the Pentagon at the Budget Committee.
Sherrod Brown at Banking and Elizabeth Warren on the Financial Institution Subcommittee would try to change rules to steer lending and capital to their priorities and punish lending to fossil fuel companies.
Ron Wyden, who would run the Tax Writing Finance Committee.
Wants to tax gains in capital assets each year, even if they aren't sold.
I want to explain that to you, my friends.
This is not only unprecedented, probably in history, it would actually be hilarious if it weren't so serious.
So let's say you buy a stock at $100, and it goes to $120.
So you've made $20 per share.
Correct?
But you didn't sell it.
You will still pay.
In other words, you have not gotten a penny.
You will pay on something you don't have.
So you will pay the $20 per share that it went up.
But what if it goes down $40 next year back to $80?
So you have paid on money you never made.
I don't know why people would buy stocks in that case.
Wouldn't that cause a financial upheaval?
The Judiciary Committee would go to Dick Durbin, another giant, who after having deposed Dianne Feinstein, would target conservative non-profits and think tanks for political attack.
If the filibuster stays, Mr. Biden will need to compromise to get GOP votes for an infrastructure bill.
New Obamacare subsidies or repealing Section 230 on tech liability.
A public option on health care is probably out of reach, as would be much of his climate agenda.
But if the filibuster goes, which is what they would do, they'd get rid of the filibuster, so do bipartisan restraints.
Statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico become possible with four new Senate seats to cement a Democratic majority.
It's all it's about, obviously.
And then it's maybe the end of America as we have known it anyway.
People whisper to me at airports.
Do you know that?
This is really something.
People whisper to me.
This was prior to lockdown time.
I fly, but a few others do, and people aren't whispering to me.
They keep to themselves at airports.
That's what masks do.
People whisper to me.
I want you to know I'm a conservative.
They look around.
The last time people looked around and whispered to me was when I visited the Soviet Union.
This is what the left has done to the...
Happy-go-lucky American who never had to whisper, never, I'm a Republican or I'm a Democrat.
It's a very different country.
I feel for me.
I feel for my children.
I feel for my grandchildren.
You know who I particularly feel for?
People who came here from communist countries.
Sweet land of liberty.

I have a lot of friends who came here from the former Soviet Union.
They can't believe they are seeing a replay in America.

Let's listen to Nicole Wallace, not just on the president, but on all Republicans.
Video cut 11. I think Republicans are concerned that there just might be a little shame injected into the political system again.
Under Donald Trump, they could let people go without unemployment insurance because Donald Trump didn't care.
Under Donald Trump, they could let people end up in food bank lines because he didn't care about programs to secure their...
A lot of people have temporary economic...
Crises that will be alleviated if we kill the virus and people can open up their businesses again.
But Republicans don't feel pressure because of the suffering, because people have been suffering for many, many, many months.
Republicans are afraid that we might reintroduce shame into the political ecosystem.
And I think that what I detect in McConnell is relief.
I don't think McConnell liked working with Donald Trump.
I think he was craven enough to know that he could put whatever judges he wanted on the United States Supreme Court, just called up again and say, hey, do Gorsuch, do do do Kavanaugh next and let's do a Hail Mary with the real right wing lunatic.
I mean, I don't think that Mitch McConnell has any distress or despair about working with Joe Biden. - Okay.
That was Michael Steele, wasn't it?
Chortling along.
That was Michael Steele.
This is incredible.
They're lecturing us about shame, and the former chairman of the RNC is chortling along about that deranged woman's attack on all Republicans, who said, for months and months and months, the president didn't care.
You mean specifically the five months, the five months that Nancy has blocked the COVID relief package?
Those five months?

So we're fully working this week to make sure we get our boat out If we do that, I think we'll hold the line against this absolutely ridiculous Democratic onslaught.
Run through the tape, Senator.
I know you will, but there are 2 million people who have already voted early, but I've been telling you, I have 13 affiliates, lucky 13 in Georgia.
I want everybody to vote early, and I think that's your message as well.
Absolutely.
I mean, this is the week.
You never know what the weather's going to be next week.
We only have Tuesday next week, so you've got to get out and vote before Thursday.
And we're just telling everybody in the state, you can't take a chance not voting.
That's the one thing that we have to do.
About 20% of the vote in November came in on Election Day, and it's a high-risk role, so we've got to get our vote out this week.
You've had 2 million people vote, including 64,000 people who didn't vote in November.
Is that a good number or a bad number for the good guys?
Well, right now, it's about even.
I mean, we're encouraged by that, frankly.
There's a lot of young people voting.
You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Yes, sir.

Yep.
I wanted to know about the Rational Bible.
I want to know what was the reason for writing the Rational Bible since there are commentaries like Onkelos and Rachi on the Bible.
Right.
So is the Rational Bible a further commentary or would it...
I would read it, but I'm legally blind.
Well, you can listen to the audible.
There's an audible version of it, and it's well-read by the reader.
I actually hand-picked him.
I was given a choice, and I picked him.
He did a great job.
Well, you mentioned Rashi.
Rashi was 1,000 years ago.
Unklos was, I think, 2,000 years ago.
It was the Aramaic translation.
So, not fully a commentary.
Rashi is the best-known commentary in Jewish life.
My commentary is for people of every faith and no faith.
It's called the Rational Bible for a reason.
I only use reason.
And it deals with the issues that have not been addressed in previous commentaries.
Like, why is God depicted as a male?
You're not going to find that in other commentaries.
What is the importance of the first verse in...
In Genesis.
Why is it important in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth?
Because it established something that was unknown in the history of the world.
God created nature.
God is not part of nature.
Every God in the history of the world prior to the Bible was within nature.
This God is above nature.
So there are People need to understand it.
If you pick up the Bible, you're not going to find...
You can certainly get greatness out of it, there's no question.
But to understand it well, somebody needs to explain it to you.
Especially tough parts.
A child who is rebellious is executed.
Eye for an eye.
I explain why these were the...
These were great moral leaps forward.

You've written a few books about Johnny Cash, about Steve McQueen, and now the new one coming up in a couple of months here about Billy Graham.
You told the story of Steve McQueen coming to faith.
You told the story of Johnny Cash and his profound Christian faith.
And now the third in this series is about Billy Graham.
What's the title of that book?
It's called Billy Graham, The Men I Knew.
And, you know, Billy's sort of the glue between Johnny and Steve.
Billy was very close with Johnny Cash.
And, you know, Johnny had a lot of struggles.
He struggled with amphetamines that he started using.
He was on the road.
He struggled with them throughout his life and was arrested a few times.
Never served time in prison, as some people think he did.
But he was a struggling Christian.
But I underline the word Christian.
He was a Christian.
And Billy continued to use Johnny and be friends with Johnny and have Johnny play at his crusades, which was a very risky thing for Billy to do at that point in his career.
And then with McQueen, when McQueen came to Christ, he found out he had cancer about nine months to a year later.
And as he realized he wasn't going to make it, he put out the request through his pastor, Leonard DeWitt, to maybe meet Billy Graham.
And Billy came to meet Steve and they had prayer together.
And then Billy gave his Bible to Steve.
Steve was on his way to a clinic in Juarez, Mexico.
And so Steve had forgotten his Bible and Billy gave his Bible to Steve and signed it to him.
And then Steve tragically died in Juarez, Mexico.
And they pulled the sheet down and he was holding Billy's Bible.
Well, that was the last thing he was holding on to.

The eyes of the political world are all on Georgia, and there's good reason for that.
On January the 5th, voters in the Peach State will decide the fate of the next several years in American politics, and maybe beyond.
A win by either or both of incumbent Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue will require President-elect Joe Biden and his liberal allies in Congress to work together with Republicans to pass common-sense legislation, rather than pursuing progressive priorities like the Green New Deal.
And it will mean that some of Biden's more extreme appointments, people who either aren't qualified or who are far out of the mainstream, will be rejected by the Senate.
The runoff elections on January the 5th will be held in Georgia, but their impact will be felt by more than the 10 million people who live there.
All Americans should recognize that nothing short of the course our country will take for the next several years is at stake.

I don't love the fact that Congress is now getting involved in our election.
I don't.
This is not something that I have great delight in.
This is not something that should be taken lightly.
Because as soon as you give the power of elections to a legislative branch, you almost become a parliamentary system.
You lose the idea of a republic and a state-based republic as that.
That's a very dangerous road to head on.
However, unusual times call for unusual measures.
And nothing that is being discussed right now in any way whatsoever is unconstitutional.
Some people are going to be laying the criticism that this is an unconstitutional.
No, no, no.
It's unprecedented.
Outside of the election of 1876, which we'll dive into as a kind of refresher course, as we've talked about here before.
It definitely has not been done in the last 150 years, but it's not unconstitutional.
Now, there is an argument to be made that Congress does not have this authority.
That has not been decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Do that argument from a devil's advocate standpoint.
But let's just go through the process.
Just for all of you that are saying, I'm confused.
What does a senator from Missouri have to do with election results from Pennsylvania?
Fair question.
Okay.
So when you vote on election day, you're not actually voting for president.
You're voting for electors to go vote for president for you.

What's your take, your current take on masks?
Yes.
Current take on masks is they have very little efficacy.
This has been studied over and over and over again in the past, but we ignore the past, and we put together...
Well, everybody, I'm tempted to say Happy New Year because I'm tempted to say Happy New Year because it's the first show of the new year.
Sure.
And I work on my happiness on a daily basis, as you well know.
And I personally have a blessed life.
My country is in a downhill spiral.
The left is ruining it, as it has ruined everything it has touched in its history since Lenin.
There is no exception to the left ruining what it touches.
The arts, all the schools, late night TV, professional sports.
Now the sciences, media, journalism.
So, we have to fight, and a lot of us agree with what I've said.
Half this country.
There are unbridgeable differences between the left and the right, as I have been saying to you for decades.
So, do I wish you a Happy New Year?
Well, I can wish it to you, because I wish you to have one.
But if you're scared, you certainly won't have one.
I have not advocated this.
I've told you that I don't wear a mask outdoors.
But I've not advocated that others not.
I now do.
Advocate that you not wear a mask outdoors.
You might get dirty looks.
I have not.
It was interesting.
One young woman...
Obviously ticked off at me, wearing a mask, walked around me, you know, in a way to say, I can't come near you, you bare-faced killer.
And I got a glimpse of her, and her mask said, Black Lives Matter.
Didn't find that shocking, to say the least.
But this is a good example.
The more people that do this, it is a message, just as I wish more people had celebrated New Year's and Christmas and Thanksgiving.
I don't understand.
Well, that's not a phrase I like.
Sometimes I don't understand, and sometimes I do and don't like it, so I say I don't understand.
I do understand, and it's painful.
People are weak.
The giving in to Gavin Newsom in California and to others like him around the country is beyond belief.
You'll wear a mask outdoors.
Anyway, that's not the one that I'm particularly ticked off at.
It's the ruining of people's businesses.
You can eat on the airlines, which is what I said on Fox News last week.
And I was reading to you some of the reactions.
Laura Ingram tweeted out my appearance.
It was not on her show, but she felt it important to tweet out my appearance on Fox News.
And I printed out some of the reactions on Twitter.
So let's see.
Where I said...
You know, we're crushing restaurants, putting these people out of business, ruining their life savings.
I can eat on an airplane, which I just did last week, or two weeks ago when I flew from Florida to California, and you're two inches from someone.
That's okay.
No mask eating, two inches.
But eight feet, six feet, eight feet in a restaurant, not allowed.
So here's what people wrote.
This is from Stuart Lopez at StuartLopez14.
Trump has blood on his hands.
All this misery and deaths could have been avoided if he told the truth in February about what he knew.
He is complicit and guilty of negligent manslaughter.
Tens of thousands of lives and livelihoods could have been avoided had he listened to science.
So how does Mr. Lopez explain England?
And the 11 countries that have a higher death rate than the United States from COVID. Do you know who has blood on their hands?
The medical establishment for not advocating vitamin D, zinc, hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin.
That's real, honest-to-goodness blood on their hands.
The media for poo-pooing those things.
Well, they don't poo-poo vitamin D. They ignore it.
Alright, so here's another one from RJ Nesro at Rojack 300. Yep, let's just spread it everywhere.
Don't worry about the 2-3% that die as a result.
2-3% of the country is dying of COVID? What is 3% of 300 million?
Or 350 million?
Whatever it is.
1% What is 1% Why don't you just go on your computer?
Yeah, so you do it.
You do it.
Let me see.
I know I should figure this out.
1% of 300 million is what?
Oh yeah, that's a good way to do it.
10% of 300 million is 30 million.
So 1% would be 3 million.
1%.
So 3% would be 9 million.
Do you see how people make up things?
9 million Americans.
6 million Americans.
The death rate is staggeringly small, especially if you're not very old and have comorbidities.
Look, the biggest statistic to come out will be, what was the excess death rate in 2020?
That is among the most important questions to have resolved.
Unless they lie about that, and that's, I think, harder to lie about than how many have died of COVID, the President is entirely right about the dishonest figures about how many people have died of COVID. The hospitals, and I will give you the report a little later.
Hospitals report people who die with COVID as having died of COVID. What is it?
I read to you the other week, a guy who died, was it a car crash or a gunshot wound?
I don't remember.
But he had COVID, and they listed him as a COVID death.
Next, Jerry Kalin at JerryKalin1.
There is a reason why airlines are not offering food or beverage service on airlines.
It's not safe.
As far as I remember, I was offered food in first class.
I don't know if you're offered food in coach.
Anyway, you can bring your own food on.
They don't tell you not to.
They say take your mask off when you eat.
It's the announcement.
If people bring food on a plane and choose to eat, they can, but they put themselves and other passengers at risk.
Why is this so difficult?
These people are utterly ignorant and they revel in their ignorance.
Why is it so difficult?
No, it's not difficult.
It's untrue.
We're at risk on the airplane.
Has there been a breakout of deaths from COVID, from airline travel?
I haven't read about it.
Lynn at Solomio.
Last time I flew, no food or beverage was served.
Masks remained on for entire flight.
What airline is he flying?
Or is he not flying, but lying?
See that?
I actually lied that I flew, and I lied that I ate on the airplane without a mask.
This is how much of the left deals with reality.
They simply dismiss it.
Well, my return flight was on JetBlue from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles.
My flight there was on Air Alaska from L.A. to Fort Lauderdale.
Ate on both, no mask while eating.
Trade blazer at the trade blazer.
Maybe because it would cause hundred times more people dining out to be exposed than the number of people on airplanes.
Get that response?
So if we allow people to eat in restaurants, that's a hundred times more people than are flying.
Well, didn't a million people fly?
So we'd have a hundred million people dining out?
Cool.
A lot of every three Americans will be at a restaurant.
The left has no perception of reality.
And this is just evidence of it.
But we are on a lockdown in January from last March.
is one of the saddest things in American history.

They suppress dissent.
I welcome it.
Julius in Jersey City, thank you for calling.
New Jersey.
Yeah, uh, yeah.
Dennis, I'm just going to be blunt here.
Grow up with the whining about Newsom.
The reason you wear the mask is not so much to protect yourself, but because nobody knows if you have a virus or not, and your spittle, when you talk, then that actually comes out of your mouth, might hit someone, and they get infected.
That's the reason you wear the mask, why I wear the mask, why people should wear the mask.
As I always note, I wear a mask whenever I go inside any place.
Yeah, and it also includes walking down the street and dealing with...
It does.
It does.
Yeah.
Okay.
So when you...
And then you're promoting not wearing masks.
Allow me to talk now.
Do you wear a mask when you walk alone outside?
Depends on where I am.
If I'm by myself in my own little area where I'm going to be expecting no one, yeah.
So if somebody passes you outdoors, you feel that there is a real risk of you're infecting them, A, and that they will die from it.
You think those are real risks?
You know what?
Let's pull the stop here.
It's not so much about just dying.
It just sucks.
Let's just be honest here.
It's not just about dying.
It's about getting really sick, right.
Okay, that's fair.
So you feel that there is a genuine risk of people getting really sick from your passing them while walking outdoors.
I'm not arguing with you.
I'm trying to understand why you would wear a mask outdoors.
Because Spittle, if I'm talking on the phone, for instance, Spittle can hit people.
And I'll explain to you why.
And you know what?
I want to expand on this, on the thing about eating.
There's a difference between eating face-to-face, where you're chewing down on a hoagie, and it could hit someone else across you.
And I think, you know, from that of saying, like, if you're sitting...
In an airplane, like in JetBlue, where the middle seat is left vacant, and I doubt unless you eat side to side, you're most likely not going to aim your spit at someone while you're eating.
Because you're going to be facing down.
How far does your spit travel when you eat?
Let's see.
I travel a lot and I eat.
No, no, no.
I didn't ask how much you travel.
How much does your spit travel?
I'm not being cute.
I think you are being cute right now.
Oh, no, no.
I think you are being cute right now.
No, no.
I think it's unrealistic to believe.
We have no evidence whatsoever.
You know, here's the thing.
Okay, I have to be able to speak.
I'm really sorry.
I have to be able to speak, too.
Not because it's my show.
But because that's the way people have civil dialogue.
So we have zero evidence that people eating face-to-face outdoors during the brief time that that was allowed has increased COVID suffering or death.
A state that is open where you can eat indoors as well as outdoors is Florida.
Florida has fewer people per capita dying than California.
Well, he hung up.
Okay.
But the rest of you can hear me.
He may not be.
Florida, they should be dying like flies.
There should be mass suffering and death.
Why are schools closed?
If kids get it, the chances of they're getting seriously ill, let alone dying, are minuscule, truly minuscule.
The chances, however, of their lives being adversely, truly adversely affected by no school for a year are tremendous.
The damage being done to America's children is a form of child abuse.
I charge all the teachers' unions and every teacher who is a member and supports the union with ruining their children's lives.
But teachers' unions care about children and students as much as communists cared about workers.
Teachers unions use students.
They don't give a damn about students.
And cowardly teachers who won't go in a classroom?
I am a senior citizen.
I would walk into any classroom, mask-free, and teach kids with joy.
Try me out.
Invite me.
You cowards.
You fools.
You corrupting of the kids.
Take your kids out of the schools where teachers refuse to teach their children.
They are abusing your children.
Sweden kept its schools open the entire time.
God almighty.
Look, half the country agrees with me, and half the country doesn't agree with me.
That's right.
And half the country that disagrees is a frightening half, because they will ruin the lives of the entire country, not just.
The fools who agree with them.
That's the problem.
Because these people have no problem crushing the business.
You know what this is all about.
People who have their incomes are perfectly happy with crushing people who lose their incomes.
Right?
Tell me one official.
Has Newsom lost his salary?
Tell me one government official who's lost their salary.
While they force people to lose their incomes.
The callousness in the name of health.
In the name of health.
Health uber alles.
I said this before COVID. The fascist notion.

It's now safety above all.
That's why there are safe spaces at colleges.
safetyism daniel in palestine texas Hello.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I wanted to call and let you know about a little experience that I had here at the hospital where I work.
On my phone, I get local news and stuff that comes as alerts.
And one day, I looked on my phone, and in our local news, it said that the city that I live in was among the fastest-growing COVID areas in Texas.
And at the hospital where I work, it's the only one in our county, I work in the ER, and occasionally I go to ICU, so I kind of have my finger on the pulse pretty well as to how many COVID cases we have.
And I found that kind of surprising, because, I mean, we do have cases, but certainly not as much to be among the fastest growing.
So I clicked on it, and I opened it, and I saw that we had, like, almost a thousand cases pretty much overnight.
And I thought, Wow, that's really interesting because I haven't seen that many come through the hospital.
And once I looked at it and I read, I found out what had happened.
What happened is that we have some prisons in our area, and initially the numbers from the prisons were being attributed to the counties or the cities where the inmates originally came from.
Then they, I guess, made the decision to count them for our county.
So it's a lie.
Yes.
Right.
I'm sorry, I've got to take a break.
so many people in the health profession know that's been dishonest statistics.
Thank you.

Well, everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
There's two interesting things.
Is this today's LA Times?
No, it's Thursdays.
So, two interesting things on the front page.
Gavin Newsom, whom I hope you will all sign the petition.
Is it up at DennisPrager.com?
To recall.
Obviously, they would only have another substitute.
Who doesn't believe in civil liberties, but at least we could then recall that person.
It's our only option, obviously, to restore liberty, but liberty is far less important to the left than control.
But listen to this.
Newsom cited growing evidence that young students faced decreased risks associated with the novel coronavirus and benefited more from in-person instruction compared to at-home learning.
Whoa.
Isn't that fascinating?
That's a revelation.
Did he just learn that?
Decreased risk?
How about virtually no risk?
In-person instruction, there's just no substitute for it.
It's much more difficult for a 4-year-old to focus on a device than a 14-year-old.
Right.
Why haven't the schools been open for little kids?
Why?
The damage done by the lockdowns is incomparable.
The other story is this.
Front page, the biggest headline on the paper.
Some healthcare workers refused to take vaccination.
Many declined COVID shots in a surprise to researchers.
Gee, why would that be?
Why would people in the science world, are these people anti-science?
Hmm.
Interesting.
Thank you.
Yep.
All right.
Anyway, thank you, Daniel, the RN, about the COVID deaths inflated.
Look, the key is to find out excess deaths in 2020. It should be out within a month, that data.
What if you find out that there aren't three, four hundred thousand extra deaths?
How will that affect your review of whether you've been told the truth or not?
Yep, that's an interesting one.
Nick in Weehawken, New Jersey.
Hi.
These New Jersey day on the Dennis Prager show Thank you I feel it Regards to that caller that just called me.
It's like where do you go up a line?
This man and tens of millions like him will now wear masks every year.
This is a new thing in America.
Every flu season.
Every flu season.
That is correct.
Better safe than human.
Right.
It's funny because, you know, I mean, the idea that people will spread sickness every year during flu season, every time you hear there's a bug going around, that's been something every year that we've dealt with.
And he wasn't wearing masks all that time.
He will now.
He will now.
But I don't care if he does.
He will insist that you do.
And he will back laws that mandate it, which is what will happen with Biden.
I just ask you for 100 days of mask wearing.
What happens after 100 days?
I just ask you for another 100 days of mask wearing.
Exactly.
It's uncomfortable for me, I fully admit this, it's uncomfortable for me not to wear a mask outdoors where I live and work in the Los Angeles area.
But it is a statement that I love freedom more than I love masks.
And that's it.
I am not rude.
I wear one when I go inside a restaurant to pick up an order or anywhere else where everybody else is asked to wear a mask, but I will not do so outdoors.
And I thank you and I feel the love from Weehawken.
Country is divided between not just the afraid and the less afraid.
It is divided between the people who will impose their fears on others and those who believe in liberty.
I know that the amazing thing is the New York Times mocks those of us.
They mock us for not wearing masks outdoors.
From their perspective, it is mockable.
The idea that the humanity of people and liberty are more important...
Then some bizarre notion, or even non-bizarre notion of safety, is alien to the left.
I want to tell you of a new sponsor, and I want to tell you how it happened.
This is one of those rare cases.
I called up a company.
I have had, for about 25 years, I have had neuromas in both my feet.
It has nothing to do with anything I did.
It's what they call congenital.
I just have it.
It's a tingling in the feet, and it was very bad at one time, so I had a great podiatrist put in inserts to move the bone, not to be on the nerve.
It helped a lot.
I read an ad for Nerve Renew.
I tried it out.
After about nine months, to my shock, I threw away my inserts.
I am not wearing them now.
The one change in my life was Nerve Renew.
So, if you've got neuroma and tingling, they are so confident they will help you.
They offer a two-week free trial and a one-year money-back guarantee.
Go to NerveRenew.com for your two-week trial.
NerveRenew.com 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.

I went and looked on the Orange County COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force to see what's the plan It reads, The plan for distribution of a COVID vaccine is a phase one in which high-risk, high-priority groups receive the first limited trial amounts of vaccine.
And as more becomes available, more groups are included until there is enough vaccine to serve the entire population.
Good.
Many of the policies and procedures for vaccine distribution will be developed by the Centers for Disease Control or the California Department of Health.
Hmm?
Why not?
I don't care.
But counties have the responsibility of determining their unique needs.
That's it.
It's the county deal.
In terms of identifying priority groups for vaccine providers.
Orange County Health Agency vaccine planning involves using input from our staff, from medical experts, and from the community to assist us in developing procedures that meet all CDC and state regulations while addressing the unique needs of Orange County.
Central to our planning is a vaccine task force.
So paragraph three, no guidance yet.
Comprised of members of at-risk groups such as health care workers, essential workers, ethnic communities, and older adults, and organizations such as hospitals, clinics, educational institutions, and businesses, as well as experts in ethics, faith-based issues, veterans' issues, and various...
Oh!
Okay, everybody, I want to remind you that I will be taking a group to Israel.
It will be the third or fourth trip.
Hundreds of you come.

Coming with me to Israel is one of them, I believe.
Certainly thousands who have gone believe that.

Yeah, without any penalty.
So you have nothing to lose.
But, I'm trying to think, you have nothing to lose, but...
Oh yeah, great experience, that's right.
A great experience.
The media, despicable media like the LA Times, propaganda, rag sheets, the horror of transmitting COVID-19, they don't have one dissenting article ever.
You are brainwashed if you read the LA Times, New York Times, Washington Post.
You're brainwashed.
Do you understand?
Well, you don't.
That's what I said.
What is the difference between Pravda and these newspapers?
People who read Pravda knew they were being lied to.
That's the difference.
Suspecting or knowing that you've given someone the coronavirus can be a sentence of unending misery, especially if it ended a life or caused a disability.
Hmm.
Well, let me announce that if I give you a hug, And I got the coronavirus from you.
I forgive you in advance.
It's my responsibility to hug or not to hug.
I mean, if you know you have the virus and you hug me, okay, you probably shouldn't have hugged me.
But I have hugged hundreds, hundreds of people since March.
And I'm doing something that the medical establishment is so guilty of not recommending.
I am taking vitamin D. I am taking zinc.
I'm taking ivermectin and I am taking hydroxychloroquine.
Yep.
So if I should get it, the odds are overwhelming.
Not guaranteed.
There are no guarantees in life.
Odds are overwhelming that it will be a mild form of COVID. By the way, are they going to insist that people who add COVID take the vaccine?
Interesting question, isn't it?
My son's whole family has had COVID in Florida.
They barely knew it.
In fact, one of the kids had it.
They didn't tell him he had it because they didn't want to spook him.
Told him afterwards.
He didn't know he had it.
Is that a riot?
Yep, yep, indeed, my friends.
And Wow, this is amazing.
Sharon, Buena Park, California.
Dennis Prager, hello.
Hi.
Hi.
Yes, my son was arrested New Year's Eve while he went to an Indian casino in Oklahoma, and him and a few friends went there just to have dinner, and because he would not keep his mask on while he ate and while he drank, he had to take a sip.
We put it back down.
He refused to dine in such a manner.
And the manager of the casino came over and stood there and said that he would not leave the table until my son put his mask on.
And my son refused.
And then he stood up and in a loud voice said to everybody, are you all of the same life thinking?
Do you all believe this is how we should eat and this is how we should be?
And because he stood up and said something, they brought over four security guards who subdued him and they took him to jail.
Well, I mean, to be clear, it's not possible they insisted he wear a mask while eating.
They insisted he wear a mask while at the table and not chewing.
Yes.
Right.
So what they wanted you to do at this place was eat and between bites put on a mask?
Yes.
Pull the mask back down.
Right.
If you took a sip, put it up.
Yes, I understand.
What can I tell you?
The E's, I'm sorry?
Oklahoma.
Oklahoma?
Yeah.
That's what she said.
It took place.
Hmm.
Let me get -- I didn't pick that up.
Let me verify.
Was that in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma, yes.
Oklahoma is one of my last bastions of hope for the country.
Well, I wrote about a half year ago, I wrote a column.
What was it?
Dress rehearsal for a police state.
You know I have always debunked conspiracy theories, and I'm not even saying it's a conspiracy.
I'm just saying it's a fact.
Anyone who wants a police state, and I believe the left does, I don't believe liberals do, I believe the left does, because the left always believes in police states.
Give me an example of where they don't.
And they now realize the ease with which you can do it.
What is the New York thing now?
There's another thing.
In New York, there's a proposal.
Was it made by Cuomo?
No, by a legislator.
A legislator in New York State.
It happened this morning?
No.
Oh, you sent it this morning?
I think I printed it out yesterday.

New York Democrat introduces bill allowing governor to order the removal and detention of people with contagious diseases.

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...
Hi, everybody.
I was reading to you.
New York Democrat introduced a bill that you can detain an individual deemed to pose an imminent and significant threat to the public health by being suspected case, contact, or carrier of a contagious disease.
Introduced by Noah Nicholas Perry, a Democrat.
Shockeroo.
I didn't expect a Democrat to do that, did you?
Yeah.
Calls for amending New York public health law to permit the removal and detention of cases, contacts, and carriers who are or may be a danger to public health upon the governor declaring a public health emergency.
That's it.
Let's see.
No U.S. state was ever meant to have a single person acting as judge and jury.
This is stated Corey Anderson, chairman of the New York Libertarian Party.
Without checks or balances, if this bill is allowed to pass, that is exactly what New York will have.
We once again demand that legislative leaders be principled when they claim, my body, my choice.
They must not pick and choose.
You know where the lie started?
Secondhand smoke.
A lot of you laughed at me making a big deal about that, but when medicine gets corrupted by social justice or health being more important than truth, then you get what we have today.
So the man Perry wrote, "There is no intent, no plan or provisions in my bill to take away or violate any rights or liberties that all Americans are entitled to under our Constitution, either state or federal.
A proper reading of the bill would find that significant attention was paid to protect individual rights which could be affected by exercising authority granted to this bill." That's right.
Correct.
And there's a bridge in Brooklyn to be sold.
In addition.
Yes, indeed.
Interesting.
Markins, got only one minute.

Hello.
Oh, hi, Dennis.
I just wanted to kind of underscore the difference between the fearful and those of us that are not fearful.
My son, my 23-year-old son, lives with his mother, and she's a registered nurse here locally.
And he came down with COVID on election night.
And the next day he told her, and she's like, well, you live here.
So let's just get this over with.
I want to control this.
So she had him cough in her hands, and she rubbed that, her hands all over her face.
She had him cough directly into her face.
And simply because, like I said, she wanted to...
She wanted a vaccination.
There's no vaccination at all.
No, no, I'm saying that is a vaccination.
That's what she wanted.
And what happened?
She never got it?
Nothing happens.
Right, I know.
I don't think they really know generally how it's passed on.
People who were in lockdown get it.
This is Lon He Chen of the Hoover Institution for townhall.com.
The eyes of the political world are all on Georgia and there's good reason for that.
On January the 5th, voters in the Peach State will decide the fate of the next several years in American politics and maybe beyond.
A win by either or both of incumbent Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue will require President-elect Joe Biden and his liberal allies in Congress to work together with Republicans to pass common-sense legislation, rather than pursuing progressive priorities like the Green New Deal.
And it will mean that some of Biden's more extreme appointments, people who either aren't qualified or who are far out of the mainstream, will be rejected by the Senate.
The runoff elections on January the 5th will be held in Georgia, but their impact will be felt by more than the 10 million people who live there.
All Americans should recognize that nothing short of the course our country will take for the next several years is at stake.
I'm Lon He Chen.

And Trump...
I mean, CNN is reporting today that one of the people Trump's considering pardoning is not only himself, but Allen Weisselberg, who is the top financial guy at the Trump Organization.
I mean, if the president pardons him, pardons the top financial guy at his own business on his way out of office, I just, I mean, this is, it's worth, it is worth contending anew with the threat to the republic of having a felon in the White House.
Right.
Because a man whose son is in bed with communist China and he just willy-nilly emails requests for $10 million from Chinese tycoons.

I don't love the fact that Congress is now getting involved in our elections.
I don't.
This is not something that I have great delight in.
This is not something that should be taken lightly.
Because as soon as you give the power of elections to a legislative branch, you almost become a parliamentary system.
You lose the idea of a republic and a state-based republic as that.
That's a very dangerous road to head on.
However, unusual times call for unusual measures.
And nothing that is being discussed right now in any way whatsoever It's unconstitutional.
Some people are going to be laying the criticism that this is unconstitutional.
No, no, no.
It's unprecedented.
Outside of the election of 1876, which we'll dive into as a kind of refresher course, as we've talked about here before.
It definitely has not been done in the last 150 years, but it's not unconstitutional.
Now, there is...
An argument to be made that Congress does not have this authority.
That has not been decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
I'm going to do that argument from a devil's advocate standpoint.
But let's just go through the process.
Just for all of you that are saying, I'm confused.
What does a senator from Missouri have to do with election results from Pennsylvania?
Fair question.
Okay.
So when you vote on election day, you're not actually voting for president.
You're voting for electors.
to go vote for president for you.
What's your take, your current take on masks?
Thank you.
Current take on masks is they have very little efficacy.
This has been studied over and over and over again in the past, but we ignore the past, and we put together anecdotal evidence now to support mask use.
And I think to mask the healthy population is just not warranted scientifically.
If you're ill and you're coughing and sneezing, Certainly having a mask on can reduce the respiratory secretions that come out of your mouth and potentially spread.
But to mask the healthy population, in my opinion, doesn't make sense.
I'm talking with Dr. Jeffrey Barkey.
Dr. Barkey, literally hours ago, Joe Biden just gave a speech in which he pretty much trashed the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus.
He ended the speech by saying, wear a mask.
Yeah.
Well, I think he actually looks better in a mask, so it would be appropriate for him.
You know, Sage, I heard you say earlier that there's a lot about the coronavirus, and in particular this new coronavirus that has come out.
And you're right, we don't know a lot about it.
We have a lot to learn, but we do know a lot about some of our elected officials that are not basing their decisions on science.
Our own governor in California, for example, that just announced...
There'll be an additional three-week lockdown of our economy.
There's no science to support that.
I think it's wrong.
It's tyrannical.
It causes more harm than good.
Give me your take on these two vaccines, soon to be a third vaccine.
By what time do you think we will resume to something resembling normalcy?

Well, if we actually use the vaccines appropriately, I think it would be sooner rather than later.
Unfortunately, we're not doing that.

As I mentioned earlier, I worked my tail off last week.
I worked harder last week than in any normal week, even though I was off four of the five days of broadcasting.
Twelve hours a day with four editors.
Wait, is it one, two, three?
Three editors.
Reading every single word aloud.
If any of you ever want to write a book, you need two things.
You need an editor.
And I write for a living and I need an editor, and you need to read it aloud.
You catch things you never catch if you read it with your eyes only.
That's a lot of work, too.
But this will blow your mind when this volume comes out.
A lot of very, very important things.
I'll give you an interesting insight that's very fascinatingly applicable to our time.
I think the whole thing is why I'm writing this commentary on the first five volumes of the Bible.
There is a provision for leaving produce out for the poor.
But in general, The way in which the Bible wants you to take care of the poor is not through charity.
How many of you know what it is through?
But very few of you.
Check Deuteronomy.
Because it's a repeated theme.
It is through loans.
That's right.
You should loan the poor.
And, by the way, often at no interest.
But you don't give them handouts.
It protects the dignity of the poor.
No, I don't get charity.
I took a loan.
And it...
Make sure that they don't become addicted to handouts.
By the way, you could pre-order the next volume on Amazon.
It's called Deuteronomy, the fifth volume of the Torah, the first five books.
Just for that insight alone, it is worth it.
The biblical solution to poverty is not charity.
It's loans.
Pretty powerful stuff.
I have said often and will state now, I think it is harder to get off addiction to benefits, addiction to free things, to free money, to free things than it is to get off addiction to heroin.
Among other reasons, people who are addicted to handouts from the government think that they are morally deserving of it so that not only people who are addicted to handouts from the government think that they are morally deserving no heroin addict thinks, yeah, it's absolutely owed to me heroin.
No addict thinks that.
But a benefits addict, Yeah, I am owed it.
You owe it to me.
And that's part of the reason that they get addicted.
Because they think it's not, they not only get used to it, everybody does, everyone gets used to it.
You get stuff for free, and then you have to start paying?
That's why it's so hard for websites to charge money.
People are addicted to getting websites for free.
And then all of a sudden they realize, wait, wait, wait, we can't offer all this for free.
How are we going to pay anybody to write for us?
How are we going to pay for the website?
And then people don't pay.
They paid for a physical newspaper, but they won't pay for a website.
That's why I try to, I try, I don't fully succeed, but I try to send money to every website that I use on any regular basis.
Including photography websites, because it's one of my hobbies, photography.
Say, look, help support me.
I gotta support a family.
But I realize, of course I should support you.
I use your website.
But people don't think that way.
People, oh, I got it for free.
I'm going to start paying now?
Yeah.
It's very, very hard to break people off, to wean people away from getting stuff for free.
Anyway, I was working on this 12 hours a day for the last whole week.

Father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt.
Nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and so on.
Such terms would be replaced with parent, child, sibling.
Parents, sibling.
Parents, sibling.
Not an uncle, not an aunt.
This is my parent-sibling.
She's advocating term limits.
Oh, that was good.
I hate to admit it.
It's a general rule.
I react negatively to puns.
However, that was good.
Term limits.
Were you off last week?
I think Sean's brain works better after vacations.
I'm not joking.
The guy has been very sharp today.
Been in a good mood.
I'm going to propose to Salem.
that you have every other week off.
Parent, child, sibling, parents, sibling.
Okay.
Parents, sibling, that's really a winner.
This is my parents' sibling, Jeff.
Sibling's child.
What's a sibling's child?
Oh, right!
Not niece or nephew.
Yeah, I don't have nieces or nephews.
I only have sibling child.
Sibling children.
Siblings children.
Now, I'm curious, those of you who still identify with this destructive party called the Democrats, this is what I believe the average...
First of all, the average Democrat does not even know this is happening.
I doubt if it's being reported in the mainstream media.
I hope I'm wrong, but that's my suspicion.
Should it be reported, their reaction is, eh, silly, but so what?
That's what liberals do with everything the left does.
Oh, it's silly, but so what?
Black graduation exercises at Harvard?
Silly, but so what?
That's it.
That's what they do.
It's always a so what.
Really dangerous is Russian collusion with the Trump campaign in 2016. Now that's dangerous to people, to liberals and leftists.
But not this.
Not the abolition.
Of one of the most central ideas in the human species.
That there is male and female human.
The number of non-binary people is so small as to be statistically insignificant.
And yet we will abolish these terms for this group.
They don't care about the non-binary.
How many people know a non-binary person?
How many people know a transgender person?
And they're a lot more common than non-binary.
Wow.
Sibling-in-law.
Sibling-in-law.
I'm thinking of my siblings-in-law right now.
That's really something.
Now, let's see.
So, here's a question I just got.
My aunt or uncle will now be my parent's sibling.
But how will I say which parent?
Don't I have to use some form of gender term to explain that?
Oh, good one!
Good one!
This is my parent's sibling, Jeff.
Alright?
A.K.A. Uncle.
But which, so I, oh no, you will have to, this is my parent, this is how you get around it.
This is my parent, Jennifer, sibling, Jeff.
So you will have to use your parent's first name.
But what if your parent's first name is non-binary?
This is my parent, Pat's sibling.
No, even if both your parents are named Pat, that just furthers the confusion.
Did you really have a vacation last week?
That was an unintelligent question.
So, and it is half-sibling.
This is my half-sibling.
This is the unraveling of society that the left is engaged in, and you know why?
They're bored.
I told you this all of my career.

Important animating factors in the human condition.
They have no cause, so they make up causes.
This proves how good America is.
Do you understand?
This is such an important point.
The fact that there are so many hoaxes about racism proves how little real racism there is in America.
Jews didn't have to make up hoaxes in Germany, did they?
That would have been the last thing on their mind.
Gee, I'm going to prove how much anti-Semitism there is.
I'm going to make up an anti-Semitic incident.
No.
When there's real hatred.
There weren't hoaxes like this when there was real racism in the United States.
The same thing here.
Things are so good that to give the left, the left has to constantly have change.
These people are, they are restless souls.
They need a new cause.

This will not be done anymore, I guess.
The work that your committee did, Brandon, thank him and the others for putting in the dependent cause.
Otherwise, 16 years and under would get the direct payment.
I mean, as a mother of five and a grandmother of nine, I know that children are dependent after 16 years of old.
Wow!
That will no longer be utterable by a Democrat in Congress.
She will no longer be a grandmother.
What will the word be for grandmother?
Grandparent.

The eyes of the political world are all on Georgia, and there's good reason for that.
On January the 5th, voters in the Peach State will decide the fate of the next several years in American politics, and maybe beyond.
A win by either or both of incumbent Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue will require President-elect Joe Biden and his liberal allies in Congress to work together with Republicans to pass common-sense legislation, rather than pursuing progressive priorities like the Green New Deal.
And it will mean that some of Biden's more extreme appointments, people who either aren't qualified or who are far out of the mainstream, will be rejected by the Senate.
The runoff elections on January the 5th will be held in Georgia, but their impact will be felt by more than the 10 million people who live there.
All Americans should recognize that nothing short of the course our country will take for the next several years is at stake.

I don't love the fact that Congress is now getting involved in our elections.
I don't.
This is not something that I have great delight in.
This is not something that should be taken lightly.
Because as soon as you give the power of elections to a legislative branch, you almost become a parliamentary system.
You lose the idea of a republic and a state-based republic as that.
That's a very Dangerous road to head on.
However, unusual times call for unusual measures.
And nothing that is being discussed right now in any way whatsoever is unconstitutional.
Some people are going to be laying the criticism that this is an unconstitutional.
No, no, no.
It's unprecedented.
Outside of the election of 1876, which we'll dive into as a kind of refresher course, as we've talked about here before.
It definitely has not been done in the last 150 years, but it's not unconstitutional.
Now, there is an argument to be made that Congress does not have this authority.
Well, I'm Dennis Prager.

Amazing how judges uphold the bans on restaurants surviving.
Happened in L.A. County.
That's what I told you.
It's very simple.
Those who have their incomes shut down those who don't.
Judges making the same salary.
As last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.
And the judge is presumably on the liberal side.
Government shutting down your life is so simple and easy for them.
The only thing that the government cannot ban is late-term abortions.
That's the one thing.
Then they are radical in their suppression of government authority.
That's how it works.
Yep.
So you can kill an eight-month-old child, or fetus.
Call it what you want.
Pimple.
That's the word that the left should really use for the unborn, because a pimple has the same rights as an unborn.
In the left's view.
So call it what you regard it as.
Restaurant can't survive.
Restaurant can't operate.
Even outdoor dining.
The left-wing judges are completely at home with that, at peace with that.
No suppression of abortion is allowed under any circumstance at any time.
That's right.
You don't want a girl and you find out it's a boy, or excuse me, you don't want a girl and you find out it is a girl and you have an abortion after the time of viability even.
And that's fine.
By the way, this has nothing to do with God, nothing to do with religion, nothing.
The notion that an unborn has no rights whatsoever, under any circumstance, for any reason, at any time, is, shall I say, anti-science.
Christian events amid virus surge seen as unwise.
That's a headline in the LA Times.

One more reason that I believe that the country is dying because of its secularism.
Secularism produces cowards.
Secularism produces people who...
Cringe before anything that upsets them.
Not everybody who's secular is like this, of course not.
But this is what it produces, society-wise.
And substitute religions.
That's the key.
When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing.
They believe in anything.
That is attributed to G.K. Chesterton.
But we don't know who actually said it.
The reason I mention it is I didn't come up with it.
An ER doctor in New Orleans, Dr. Nick, hello.
Hey, Dennis.
So I always tell my friends to pay a few dollars a month for you guys because you put your lives on the line being conservatives and speaking out.
We're afraid to even post on Facebook unless we be fired.
That's right.
So a few dollars a month for what you do.
It's the least we can do.
So I actually want to talk about the Georgia election, but while I was waiting, this guy called up with a mask, and I have three bullet points that I can respond to that guy, which has to be mentioned, if you don't mind.
No, it's very important.
Go ahead.
So, first of all, what evidence does he have to tell you that you should be wearing a mask?
The only thing he's doing is telling you what the government told him to do.
So if he doesn't have the evidence, the data, why is he arguing?
Just saying what the government tells you to do, especially when you see Fauci at a baseball game with his mask below his face talking to somebody within a foot of him, to me is ludicrous.
So the data itself, from the CDC itself, the data shows no evidence that masks work.
And the mechanism, he talked about spit, walking by somebody, the spit falls down within six feet.
And so the theoretical danger is when you touch it and then touch your face or eyes.
And so if you don't do that...
Then you're in no danger.
So the idea of wearing a mask, which we have shown doesn't work, all the studies, and walking within six feet of somebody to yell at them because they're wearing a mask is bizarre.
Good.
Hold on, doctor.
It's very important that I hear your other points.

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 eight million dollars from the police department in Minneapolis which of course Here's how this works.

I'm out.
I've got a comment.
I went and looked on the Orange County COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force to see what's the plan in Orange County.
It reads, the plan for distribution of a COVID vaccine is a phase one in which high risk high priority groups receive the first limited trial amounts of vaccine and as more becomes available more groups are included until there is enough vaccine to serve the entire population.
Good.
Many of the policies and procedures for vaccine distribution will be developed by the Centers for Disease Control or the California Department of Health.
Hmm?
Why not?
I don't care.
But counties have the responsibility of determining their unique needs.
That's it.
It's the county deal in terms of identifying priority groups for vaccine providers.
Orange County Health Agency vaccine planning involves using input from our staff, from medical experts, and from the community.
to assist us in developing procedures that meet all CDC and state regulations while addressing the unique needs of Orange County.
Central to our planning is a vaccine task force And
you are an ER doctor?
Correct.
Do your fellow physicians know your views?
Yes.
A lot of them agree.
Is that because you're in Louisiana?
You know, I don't know.
It's hard to say.
I think the only other doctors I hear from are the doctors that are on podcasts and online and on YouTube, and so I'm going to get a skewed view of what they believe.
And I believe that a lot of doctors are afraid to say what they really think, so they might be towing the line and saying, you know, this other doctor just recently lost his license in Oregon, so I'm actually worried about right now speaking to you.
But I have to say that the fact that you're six feet or more, and you're safe, and then people are more worried about masks than keeping distance, when you can't walk in by somebody, any epidemiologist or any infectious disease doctor will tell you, that is a low-risk situation.
It's when you're huddled together in room in close quarters.
That's why flu spread so much easier in the winter.
Everybody's huddled indoors.
They're not outside.
So we're doing the opposite of what's common sense.
Yeah, people don't realize that, that keeping people at home is actually much less healthy than letting them go to work.
Correct.
And we're losing all that money economically.
So how else are we going to fight?
Right.
That's why all these decks have...
Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
Go on.
I was going to say the excess death also can be explained by a lot of people afraid to leave their home, and they don't get their medicines.
They're afraid to go to the ER.
Doctors have been saying that they see less heart attacks presented to the ER, less strokes, and we know they haven't disappeared.
So they're probably afraid to come to the emergency room because of what they hear from coronavirus, where the vast majority of people dying are over 80, and they usually have severe medical problems, and the deaths are overstated.
World Health Organization states that you have to have pneumonia to be classified as a COVID virus death, yet the CDC, less than 50% of the 300,000 that they keep claiming have pneumonia or have involvement with the lungs.
So we're getting, I just have to, this one story today, one Republican in Pennsylvania died.
The story says that he had COVID over a month ago, and so we probably wasn't related.
Probably.
How about definitely?
And he died of an aneurysm, probably.
Saying that an aneurysm kills you if it kills you, probably, is like saying the Twin Towers were probably destroyed probably by a plane crashing into them.
I mean, no, how about definitely?
So we're getting skewed data, we're getting all this misinformation.
What about, since I have you on the line, what about the claims that the ICU Well, I see no evidence of that either.
I mean, sometimes they were overrun initially, but I think that could be also explained by that we were intubating these patients as soon as they came in.
And I think partly because we're afraid to catch the virus.
I think that's my theory, what was going on.
After that, we found out that intubating is actually bad for them.
So a lot of that could be...
Due to the fear that's going around.
So we don't know.
It's hard to get good data.
I've been researching this since it started.
And I try to find data on what the percent ICU capacity is normally.
That's the way I look at it.
Whenever I try to figure out if something's wrong, I want to know what the baseline is.
A year ago, what the percent of ICUs are inundated the way they are this year?
Are they normally inundated?
So I can't find that data anywhere.
If they want us to believe this stuff, they should...
Tell us the data.
Tell us what the normal baseline is before we say, oh, they're inundated.
Because sometimes hospitals are inundated during a normal virus, during the bad flu epidemic of a couple years ago, inundated.
And there were lots of stories, you can Google them, of ICUs being inundated with patients.
So this happens all the time, but now they're pushing it.
Right, forgive me.
One more question.
Do you think that there have been 350,000 excess deaths in 2020?
No, I don't believe the data.
I do not, because they do not distinguish between dying of COVID and dying of something else.
No, no, no, no, I'm not asking about, no, I'm not asking do you believe that there were 350,000 COVID deaths.
I'm talking about just excess deaths.
Gotcha, okay.
So initially I heard about excess deaths around April and May.
I was looking at that data because I thought that was a good way to figure out what's going on, excess deaths.
And initially there seemed to be excess deaths, but the later data I'm seeing...
There is no excess death.
So I think this is politicized, too.
So that would be a good way to tell.
Oh, that to me is the chief question to be asked.
And you don't know how hard it is to find the answer on the Internet.
It's very hard.
The CDC does not make it easy.
That's right.
I'm not saying they're doing it on purpose.
I'm just saying.
And then the other problem is, are the excess deaths because of other reasons?
Lockdown, people not working, people dying of other things.
I still want to know the answer, and I know you do.
Well, listen, go back to your patients, and it's a joy to hear from you.
Can I just make one, just about the Georgia election?
No, you can't, because we took so much time on the other.
I'm sorry.
You were just so fond of data on the other.
Call in another time, obviously.
That was an ER doctor in Louisiana.
Every time I have a doctor on who's working in a hospital, they tell me we're not overflowing.
So I don't know.
It's hard for me to believe the press would lie, but I don't know what to conclude.
The Dennis Prager Show.
The Dennis Prager Show.
In fact, we are now ground zero of all the 50 states for COVID-19.
What does that say?
Well, that's cases, Sage.
That's cases, that's not illness.
So California is number 40 in mortality, but we are number one in testing.
So we do more testing than any other state.
And so it's very different between cases and illness.
And the more you test, the more cases you get.
We're testing over 2 million people a day.
Compare that to last March, April, May, where we were testing somewhere in the 200,000 to 300,000 range.
Now we're testing 2 million.
If the testing is, let's say, 2% false positives, 2% of a million, that's a lot of people that are testing positive but don't actually have the illness.
What does your gut tell you, Dr. Barkey, about the percentage of Americans who have already contracted the coronavirus?
5%, 10%, 20%?
What do you think?
I think it's higher than that because I'm seeing patients that were ill last year and pretty ill, and they come in and we do antibody testing, and they're positive for that.
I don't know what the actual number is, but I guess it's more in the 40% range.
So this is really common.
It's a respiratory illness, and what I mean by that is it's It's spread by respiratory droplets, primarily from people that are ill, that are coughing and sneezing.
There is little evidence that there's much asymptomatic spread going on.
And when you're asymptomatic, of course you don't know you are.
No, you don't.
And, you know, the British Journal of Medicine recently reported evidence of asymptomatic spread is insufficient to justify mass testing for COVID-19, and I agree with them.
