I'm Dennis Prager, and I welcome you to the program.
I'd like you to show me, please, the headlines of the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.
Los Angeles Times calls grow to remove Trump.
New York Times' entire head calls grow to remove Trump as U.S. officials head for exit.
Yes, even the Wall Street Journal editorial board.
Called for him to resign.
We are living through another hysteria, the Wall Street Journal editorial board, which I have said for so many decades.
The editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, the opinion page of the Wall Street Journal, is life-saving for this country.
And I think they panicked.
You live in New York, it's very difficult not to panic.
If you want to hold your head up high at anything, and you're the Wall Street Journal and you didn't call for Donald Trump to resign, why should he resign?
Let's get rid of the idea he asked people to...
To be a mob inside the U.S. Capitol.
I read his speech.
I didn't see where he said it.
I read two pieces.
Was it The Guardian and Fortune?
And Fortune.
And to make the case that he instigated what happened.
And there was no case.
The Guardian used...
Words by Giuliani and others over the course of the last month or more to say, look, you see, they've incited violence.
Tell me something.
If you say to non-white America every day that every white is a racist, are you inciting violence?
Is there anything worse than a racist?
I'm quite serious.
What is worse than a racist?
I cannot think of an epithet that is more dark than being a racist.
Especially considering the amount of evil done in the name of racism.
So every white is a racist is not inciting.
But Donald Trump's speech was inciting.
But hysteria is the single greatest operational tool of the left, and there are people on the right who fall in for it.
The power of the media is almost total.
The information that the human being receives is exactly how the Human being perceives reality, correct?
So, if you're told often enough men give birth, then if you deny that men give birth, you are anti-science and a hater.
See how it works?
The old saw went, Two and two is five.
Men give birth is two and two is five.
Men menstruate is two and two is five.
And I would say that half of America's educated youth would say that men give birth.
That is the power of the media and academia together, creating a false construct of the universe.
I do hold the President at fault for not emphasizing Georgia more than the alleged fraud of the election.
I said it at the time, everything is about Georgia.
Everything.
I have no idea if the Georgia vote was honest.
The notion that almost half this country Believes that elections have been tampered with.
This does not bother the left.
Even if they think such people are wrong, that so many people believe it, if you care about the country, you need to address it.
There should have been an investigation begun and...
The concentration been on Georgia.
The whole point of what is going on now is to destroy his legacy, destroy his name, maybe even destroy him.
I think that there are a lot of people on the left who would like to see him prosecuted.
They have said so.
It's not an I think.
That would be a first in American history, to the best of my knowledge.
Seeking to jail an ex-president.
But why not?
Who's going to stop them?
If you say he shouldn't be imprisoned, Twitter will shut you down.
Correct?
Facebook will shut you down.
We are moving.
I have never said this.
I have never said this.
It never even occurred to me to say it.
But we are moving toward a dictatorship.
The United States of America.
The House of Representatives run by the left who have never, ever, ever given up power easily.
And the Senate and the presidency.
With the compliant press as their bodyguard of lies, to use Churchill's phrase in World War II, anything can be done.
If they want, they could say, if you do not write an essay on how men give birth, you will be regarded as a hater.
Already there are calls.
I forgot the woman who made this call to have a list of all Americans who might have said something perceived as racist at any time in their lives.
You get one chance, and then...
Did you see that, by the way?
You haven't seen that?
Yeah.
I wouldn't be surprised if things like that start occurring.
Now, it's not over, and...
I have a motto which I came up with this week.
If you only fight when you think you'll win, you won't win.
Or you can't win.
I don't remember which verb I used.
There are a lot of us, my friends.
A lot of us.
What you need to do...
What we need to do is sever our links with the left.
The first thing people need to do is take their kids out of any school that teaches the 1619 Project.
Your school has been morally and intellectually corrupted.
Why would you want your child to be raised in a morally and intellectually corrupt environment?
We are phenomenally strong in numbers.
We who love this country, we who take its original values seriously, e pluribus unum, in God we trust, and liberty.
There are a lot of us.
I mean, tens upon tens of millions, probably a hundred million.
Not everybody who agrees with us voted.
And even in vote, we got 74 million during COVID. That's astonishing how many things were arrayed against this president.
It almost seems like the devil planned it with COVID in particular.
I had a fireside chat yesterday for the first time in 165 fireside chats.
It was live.
Mostly young people watch.
Mostly young people send in questions.
And it broke my heart, the questions that these good young people wrote in.
How do I answer people who say that this was white privilege that they got into the Capitol?
1-8 Prager 776. They
are living with the rights given to them by the Constitution.
It is the antithesis.
It is the counterpoint to a coup or to treasus activity because they are exactly using the rights stipulated for them peacefully, not through force of arms.
Not through some abrogation of a constitutional limit, but exactly in their stipulated mandate that if they have concerns, that they may raise them.
There is a reason that the Electoral College votes are not advertised, are not declared by the state houses.
That they must be transmitted from the individual state houses of our republic to the capital city.
This is not an invention of Josh Hawley.
This is not some kind of executive order by the president.
This is the Constitution of the United States that is clear that a joint session of the Senate and the Congress must...
Advertise, must declare in the final personage of the President of the Senate, the incumbent Vice President, who happens to be Mike Pence.
That is the order of our Constitution.
It occurs here in Washington, D.C. It does not occur in the state houses of this republic.
And it may only occur after all objections are debated and are voted upon by each house.

Okay, I want to thank Global News for this feed.
We never want to take a feed without attribution, so thank you for that.
This is outside of...
The United States Congress, and it looks like it's happening.
It looks relatively peaceful right now, but it does look like Trump supporters have physically taken the plaza.
Is that right?
Yeah, it looks like they're...
I mean, if I had to interpret what they probably feel this is, it's the people taking their house back, their building back.
Again, I can't endorse any of this, but this is the...
You know, fewer people feel.
And I've been hearing rumblings about this from some of my friends in the intelligence community.
Frankly, I didn't listen.
They were saying that, you know, we're hearing that people are really upset and this could boil over any time now.
And I think that's, we're seeing this.
I will echo your point.
It looks largely peaceful.
Obviously, they've broken laws to this point.
And it looks, I've been told that the house might be back in session, so this young man with a lot of energy is screaming about Mike Pence, so we can now put this in the box.
Is the house not back in session?
Okay.
Yeah, let's go ahead and mute this.
Yeah, we can mute this gentleman who has a lot of...
There's a lot of spirit, let's put it that way.
And so there's a lot of information coming in here in real time, so we're analyzing and processing.
What did the president just tweet, Andrew?
Mike Pence, this is a quote, Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify.
USA Demand.
My friends, I welcome you back.
I'm Dennis Prager.
And I'm going to have on the line right now two Californians.
I am in California, as I'm sure nearly all of you know.
But in any event, two Californians who were at the rally.
I have not spoken to either of them at all.
I have no idea what they'll say.
But I would like to know more from people who are actually there.
And they are Mitchell White and Joel James.
And gentlemen, hi, welcome to the show.
Where are you both now?
I'm at home in Mission Hills, California.
Periodically, you should identify yourselves for the audience.
Okay, my name is Mitchell White.
I'm a technical writer.
I live in Mission Hills in the San Fernando Valley.
And are you there now?
Are you back in L.A.? Yes, I got back last night at 11. Okay, and Joel James?
Hi, Dan.
It's great to talk with you.
Yes, I helped to run a company in the travel industry, which is suffering right now, and I'm in D.C. at the moment.
I'm from California, but I'm still here in the city.
Why are you still there?
I stayed for some meetings with some...
Okay, personal reasons.
Okay.
All right, gentlemen.
What is the estimate of people, if there is an official estimate, of how many attended the rally?
I mean, I just informally talking to people, and my own observation, I would say, was over a million.
And the reason you say that, where did it stretch from?
Well, the best view I got of it was, at Capitol Hill, looking back, the entire I don't know the area.
This is my first time in D.C., but the entire area of Capitol Hill was absolutely a slong.
And then there were three main streets that led up to it, and as far as you could see, people were packed coming up to Capitol Hill.
And, Dan, if this is Joel, I'll just add to what Mitchell's saying there.
He's talking about Constitution and Pennsylvania avenues, which are very wide, broad avenues that converge.
On the west side of the Capitol.
So those were filled with people.
The streets were closed and they were filled the wide breadth of the street.
I'll also add that you had from the stage in the Ellipse, south of the White House, you had people packed all the way to past The Washington Monument, well behind the Washington Monument.
Really?
Oh, that in my mind is an immense number of human beings.
It is, yeah.
Massive crowd, and if you know the city, you've got 15th Street on the one side, and I think it's 14th on the other.
So you were pretty filled between those, and then going back well past the Washington Monument.
So, what was the nature of the crowd?
Angry, cheerful, in the middle?
Dennis, it was unbelievable.
I tell you, it was such an experience for me to go out there because you get kind of isolated in your own kind of feeling like you're kind of alone in your own beliefs.
Then you get out there and you see over a million people that share the exact same values.
The feeling was one of tremendous joy, I think, I would say, and a lot of excitement.
And there were every, I just felt a resonance with everyone there.
Did either of you have a knowledge of what was going on at the Capitol when it was violated?
No, and that's an important question that you're asking because Not only was the crowd peaceful, upbeat, these were Americans from every walk of life.
I saw veterans, I saw young and old, white, black, Asian, Hispanic.
You had a great cross-section of America, people from North Dakota, Oklahoma, Hawaii.
I saw all of these people, and they were marching to the Capitol.
They were peaceful.
They were happy.
There were flags, banners.
People were singing.
No one knew what was happening in advance of the crowd.
And that's very important when you see the videos and things that the media are playing over and over again.
You'll notice that the outside shots often show the West Portico where the inaugural day is set up.
And it's not filled with people when you see those scenes of...
Of people pushing over barriers and punching policemen.
That's an important thing to note, an important time signature issue, because the crowd was not there yet.
Once the crowd got there, they moved up and filled that entire west portico.
And so all the images I have show the west portico filled with people in a relaxed posture.
They were singing the national anthem.
They were having a great time.
Making their voices heard, you know, petitioning their government as the First Amendment gives us the right to do, but none of them knew what was happening inside, and there was a suppression on cell signal.
I was having a hard time sending texts out to friends and family or photos, and so we did not know that...
There was this group of agitators that had broken in, and some were led in by the Capitol Police, by the way.
We were told that.
So no one knew that as you're walking for a mile in a massive crowd very slowly toward the Capitol.
When people say the President spurred these people on, or the word they use is incited, what is your reaction?
It's absolutely false.
It's absolutely false.
He said, we're going to go down and make our voices heard.
That's all he said.
He said, after this is over, after his speech, he said, let's go down to Capitol Hill and make our voices heard.
And that's, it's absurd.
It's absurd.
Yeah, and you know, Dennis, the president was very calm.
In fact, I thought he was actually not...
Not as energized as he often is when you see him at these rallies on television and things.
I hadn't been to a Trump rally previously, but I actually thought his demeanor was a little bit suppressed, maybe because he knew that, you know, they weren't really going to do the right thing in the Congress that day.
But there was nothing incendiary.
In fact, he just laid out very carefully his case and why he believed that the electoral certificate should be sent back.
to the swing state legislatures to be re-evaluated with the evidence of potential voter fraud or irregularity.
Yeah.
So did either of you know about what was happening at the Capitol?
No, not until we got there.
When we got there, then it was obviously planned that people were going to be there doing that.
You know, and they kept saying, get up, come on in, get up, come on in.
What I think is interesting, and I'll give a little bit different perspective, a little bit, because I was a little torn because I kind of felt like we should be going in there and being hurt.
I mean, I think if you look in context, here's one and a half million people who feel like every door has been slammed in our face.
That's right.
Yeah, no, no, hold on, guys.
I have to take a break.
Two people were there.
When I said that's right, I'm talking about the perception of half of America.
Every door has been slammed in their face.
Even the ability to speak out publicly.

Kamala Harris in Elle Magazine.
She's talking about her parents' involvement in the civil rights movement in the 60s.
And in the interview, she recalled attending marches with him when she was a toddler in a stroller.
And I'm quoting, Senator Kamala Harris started her life's work young.
She laughs from her gut.
The way you would with family.
As she remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle.
At some point she fell from the stroller.
She was understandably upset.
My mother tells the story about how I was fussing.
And she's like, baby, what do you want?
What do you need?
And I just looked at her and said, freedom.
Meaning freedom, mispronouncing the word freedom because she's a little girl.
Freedom.
Here's the problem.
Martin Luther King, in 1965, gave an interview.
In the interview, here is what Reverend King said, and I'm quoting.
I will never forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, In a demonstration with her mother.
What do you want?
The policeman asked her gruffly.
And the little girl looked him straight in the eye and answered, feed him.
So Kamala Harris lying about something that happened in a civil rights protest that she allegedly said, almost verbatim the story that MLK gave.
Par for the course.

It's vital right now during these divided times that we all understand that the most important thing, no matter what happens politically, because I care about politics, but boy, oh boy, the reason I care about politics is because of the gospel.

I'm Dennis Prager with two Californians who were at the rally in Washington, D.C. And they are Mitchell White and Joel James, both of whom I know as it happens, and both of whom I have very high regard for.
And at the very end of the previous segment, Mitchell said something that explains a lot.
All the doors are being closed with regard to us.
That this is the feeling of half of America.
That Facebook and Twitter could close the account of the President of the United States.
That Vladimir Zelenko, a magnificent physician who has saved hundreds of lives in COVID in New York City.
That Twitter could shut down his account because he said, and he can give you the names of people whose lives he has saved with hydroxychloroquine and zinc, his account has been shut.
When we have tried to tweet out Viktor Zelenko, that has been censored.
Every avenue, every door, as Mitchell White put it, every door seems to be closing on half of this country.
So, I condemned the intrusion, the mob, whatever term you wish to use, though I will not use the word insurrection.
It's a rape of language to use the word insurrection?
Yeah.
But this is what they do?
Was it not an insurrection?
If that's an insurrection, what happened in Portland?
What happened in Seattle?
New York City?
Yeah.
The closed door thing, Mitchell White, that's a biggie.
You want to expound on it in your own words?
I do.
Because what happened in D.C. was, it was a seminal moment.
It was a turning point of something because we found each other as Americans.
I'm telling you, the chaos and the lawlessness is in our institutions.
It's not in our people.
I don't have anything against those people that organized it.
I don't know that I would say I'm against it, because we broke in there, and the people I talked to, I talked to about seven people that, you know, not the people that broke the windows and everything, but even the breaking of that was to open the doors, is my understanding, and I know there are excesses, and I know everything about that, and you're going to have a messy situation whenever that happens, but the people I talked to were driven to get inside that house.
And when they got inside, it wasn't to destroy.
It was to stand there and say, this is our house.
Because these people have closed the door on all of us.
And the people were honorable.
Everyone I talked to that went inside, they're people that served in the military.
They have more of the Constitution and the law in their hearts than a lot of the politicians have in their heads or whatever.
I don't know.
From my perspective, that's what I saw.
And I know it was mixed, because I know there was Antifa in there, too, and I know there were excesses.
How do you know Antifa was in there?
Just by what people told me.
The people that got in there said, we saw people going around, they would wear the MAGA hats, but they wouldn't look you in the eye, and you could just tell that they were not part of us.
So there was a mix in there.
Yeah, well, look, I'm agnostic on that, because I... Don't know it for sure.
It makes sense that they would do that, but I don't know that they did.
Can we use photographs to identify any of these people?
Yeah, I think they can.
I think they're doing that.
And the people I talked to also said that...
I talked to this one kid, and we were talking together about it.
He tried to get in.
He got pepper sprayed a few times and went back out.
But he said that...
I said, well, Antifa was in there organizing.
He said, no, it wasn't Antifa.
And he said, it was Trump, people.
And so I feel like I don't want to be apologizing for these guys.
I want to say there finally comes a point, and these people are feeling it.
There comes a point where you say our government has refused to acknowledge us, and the authority, where does it go?
It goes back to the people.
And I'll tell you, the people that were there are people that have, that are self-disciplined, they're people that know the law, they're people who are religious people, and they're people, the institutions need to be reflecting who we are and not the, and the institutions need to be reflecting who we are and not the, and we need, we're not And I, so for my part, maybe I'm outlier on it, but I'm glad they broke in there.
Because they didn't go win in there.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm not glad they broke in.
I was more interested in hearing what you saw, which you said, and why you believe that they should have.
I think people need to understand.
I thank you both, Joel James and Mitchell White.
I condemned the break-in when it happened, and I still do.
And the damage done to our side is the greater damage.
I don't believe everybody who went in was a bad human being, but they did a bad thing.
All right, everybody.

The Hugh Hewitt Show.
Grim day for Republicans.
Raphael Warnick has beaten Kelly Loeffler, taken one Senate seat.
It looks like John Ossoff is going to be David Perdue and that the Senate control will pass to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
How I shudder to say those words.
But it'll be a 51-50 Senate.
We have been there once before.
After the election of George W. Bush in overtime, until Jim Jeffords jumped in 2001, it was a 50-50 Senate.
They split the committees at that time, 50-50.
I assume they will do the same.
Nevertheless, that means judicial confirmations of all but the most extraordinarily controversial judges will go through, confirmations for all the nominees will go through, and taxes will skyrocket.
Now, Senator Joe Manchin has said he will not support ending the filibuster, so that means nothing else besides the reconciliation bills, which typically have to do with finance and taxes.
They could have immigration reform attached to them if they tax people in the regularization pool.
That's possible.
But the District of Columbia is not going to become a state, and the Supreme Court is not going to expand, so long as Joe Manchin holds by his word.
And we've been here before.

What is the book?
All right, I want to thank those two gentlemen, Mitchell White and Joel James.
I I have to move on, because Friday we really have one hour to review the news.
Happiness Hour comes up next, and then whatever is on your...
The whatever is on your mind hour.
I know these two gentlemen.
They are wonderful human beings.
They love this country.
They are, in both cases, they are committed and loving Christians.
And for the record, I am a Jew.
I am hopefully a loving Jew, but I am a Jew.
So I have no axe to grind in a religious sense, as it were, but these are my type of people.
I understand the frustration that led people who are peace-loving, family-loving people to want to get into the Capitol with their grievances.
But it was, I believe, a very, very bad thing to do.
As we see now, it has only damaged our cause because they're making it a form of hysteria.
Insurrection, the absurdity of the term, it was bad enough without insurrection.
But it doesn't matter.
Any term could be used.
The silence of the mainstream media with regard to the staggering destruction of left-wing mobs this past whole summer.
And longer than that, spring into summer, what was done to downtown Portland, downtown Seattle, midtown Manhattan, and other places.
And then this is all there is.
It took Joe Biden six days to condemn the riots.
With a tweet.
And it took Republican senators six minutes.
And this was accompanied by no fires and no destruction of people's businesses.
I condemned it.
It was a terrible mistake, in my opinion.
But we're supposed to ask, why did it happen?
Why did good people do something like this?
The closed-door theory.
I was speaking...
To my younger son who lives in Pennsylvania, and he was telling me about his friends who love America.
And we're talking people in their 20s.
And the frustration that they feel about having no, as Mitchell White put it, all the doors closed.
I mean, it gave me the chills when Mitchell White said this.
This is what half of America feels, and I understand why they feel it.
It doesn't justify doing just anything, but you must know that wherever they turn, it is with contempt for everything that they treasure.
Yes, everything, everything.
Where can they turn for some affirmation of what half this country believes?
Nowhere.
They can't turn to elementary schools, high schools, colleges, graduate schools.
They can't turn to any mainstream medium, whether it's in print or on the internet or on TV. They have talk radio.
That's right, that's true.
They have a lot of terrific internet sites, thank God, until we may be suppressed, which could happen.
They would certainly like to.
Where do they turn?
You're 28 years old and you love this country?
You can't even say you love this country and get a job in many instances.
Did you know that?
That's astonishing.
An American flag, if you put a little American flag at your desk at work when people used to go to work, remember that.
That's now considered a hate symbol.
The left has made the American flag into a hate symbol.
So, while I don't agree and believe is terribly wrong at the time and now, at least people who have any intellectual curiosity Should ask, why are good people involved in such things?
Not all of them were good people, but good people were involved.
The doors are closing.
That was a great metaphor, which I will keep.
We believe that we are watching an assault on America that has never existed before since the Civil War.
The South made an assault on America in, what was Fort Sumter?
1860 what?
62?
So what year was it?
And that was the opening salvo in a Civil War, which, by the way, we have a very important video that it was slavery that the Civil War was fought over.
1861. 1861. Boy, did I miss by a lot.
That's the first time that missed it by that much was actually accurate.
Usually I get it missed it by that much when I really, really blew it.
I thank those gentlemen.
I will take your calls.
And we will proceed.
You are listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
And look, someone said, you know, they just messaged me.
They said, well, BLM wasn't arrested.
You're right, but we know how this works, okay?
That's the point.
That you're all going to get arrested, and you're all going to be tried for federal terrorism charges, and you might go to Guantanamo Bay.
I'm not kidding.
That's the level.
And you should know that.
And people say, well, that warrants a civil war.
Like, okay.
Then explain to me the strategic plan of exactly how that works, okay?
Tell me how many of your family members you're willing to go send into a civil war in this country.
Seriously.
And they're like, well, I'm willing to do it.
Well, okay, that's a much bigger, you know, conversation that I completely reject.
Let's put it that way.
What I am thinking this is all headed towards is a national divorce, which is a completely different thing.
Right.
I've actually predicted that happening for quite some time, honestly.
Oh yeah, where 10 or 12 Republican states get together and they say, well, they just say, we're going to peacefully separate.
Well, actually, there's a way to do the opposite of that as well.
If you look at the framework for the Convention of States idea to call another constitutional convention, theoretically, you could also expel a state that you feel no longer falls into.
The culture of the United States of America.
So I think there's multiple avenues for that to become within the realm of possibility here in the next few months and years.
And look, again, I want to say, why is this happening?
Why is this all happening?
It's happening because normal people, because people that love their country, the pressure release valves that were built for them no longer work.
The elections no longer work.
Free speech no longer works.
Freedom of speech is how you are able to express your disagreements.
Freedom of speech is how you are able to speak, just be able to voice not just your opinions, but get things off of your chest, right?
When all of that disappears, people manifest that into violence.

You know what?
I saw Ron DeSantis say something the other day that really, really got to me.
He said, the highlight of my life, of my job, of my existence is to have people come up to me now and with tears in their eyes.
And say, thank you, Governor DeSantis.
Thanks to you, my family still has an income.
I still have a job.
Thanks to you, I've been able to survive this horrific year.
You should see New York.
Oh my goodness.
It's terrible what New Yorkers have experienced and are continuing to experience.
And believe me, look at the comparisons of New York and Florida.
It's very apt.
So here's Governor DeSantis at that press conference where a CNN reporter was strutting around like a peacock trying to embarrass him.
Okay, everybody. everybody.
I'm Dennis Prager.
And Trish in Montauk, New York.
Hello.
Hi, Trish.
Mr. Prager, thank you so much for having me on.
Thank you for calling.
I'm a huge fan and appreciate everything you've done for our country.
Thank you.
I have a dilemma.
Did I misunderstand last week?
Do you have a child that's in elementary school age?
No, I have a grandson in elementary school.
Do you educate him through the regular school system?
No, my son sends him and his little brother, there are two sons there, both to religious Jewish schools.
Lucky them.
Yes, it is lucky them.
By the way, it's even lucky them with regard to non-panic over COVID. Because they have more classes getting together than public schools do.
I couldn't agree more, and I appreciate the moral sensibilities they're teaching as well.
My son is in a private school, and yesterday the cultural history lesson that was taught was shocking for us being a religious conservative family.
And I'm looking for options.
I listen to you every day, and I listen to everything you have to say about looking for alternative solutions, even homeschooling, which is as scary as it is.
I'm considering those options now, and I really wanted some...
Yes, well, bless you.
Listen, people ask me all the time, what should we do?
I say fight, but people say, okay, what should we do?
So I will begin with an answer to this that I always start with, and that is take your kids out of school.
Private schools are as intellectually and morally dishonest as public schools.
There are exceptions, both among public schools and among private schools, and if there is an exception, then fine.
That's great if you could send your kid to an exceptional school.
Every kid should be watching PragerU videos.
They're free, so I have no problem in advocating it.
I'm not selling you anything.
That's why we exist.
There are now about 450 of them.
I would say from the age of 10 on, they are...
Easily perceived and with parental help certainly perceived.
They have to have other kids in their lives.
But homeschooling is the most obvious solution.
I totally get it that it's intimidating.
And I'm going to have program after program telling you how to do it without being intimidated.
But we have to make our own better America.
And not rely on the government.
Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
And this is a problem here regarding the election and the way the left and the Trump haters are responding to it.
We talked a little bit about this yesterday.
Hillary Clinton advised Joe Biden to not accept the results under any circumstances.
In 2004, Barbara Boxer teamed up with a House member named Stephanie Tubbs Jones from Ohio to try to decertify the election for George W. Bush.
When they met in January, did anybody consider them to be threatening our democracy, undermining our republic?
Nobody said anything.
2017, seven House members objected to certifying the election for President Donald Trump.
Did anybody suggest that they were undermining our democracy?
When a third of the Democrat congressional delegation refuses to attend President Trump's inauguration, does that...
Does that undermine the integrity of our democracy?
Does that give our allies and enemies the impression that the American people are not behind their government and therefore America is not stable?
Two and a half years, three years, this investigation into President Trump for allegedly colluding with the Russians, did that undermine the integrity of our country?
Did that give solace to our enemies and cause discomfort to our allies?
When you said that the 25th Amendment should be invoked, AOC, and all you other Democrats because the president was mentally unfit, did that undermine the integrity and stability of our democracy?

Do not be distraught.
Let not your hearts be worried.
It's a great country.
The Constitution is very strong.
And we're not going to see the filibuster go away if Joe Manchin holds to his word, and I believe he will.
They're not going to expand the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is a 6-3 conservative majority.
There are going to be a lot of very left-wing judges added to the court bench in the next two years.
They cannot be stopped now.
They could have been bottled up, the worst nominees.
I told you about that.
But now we will get the worst possible nominees, and they will get through.
We will get a tax hike, a significant tax hike.
It's unfortunate.
It is what it is.
Keith in Georgia.
What say you, Keith?
How are you doing, you?
I'm not happy.
Neither am I, but I will say this much.
We're finished.
There's nothing the Republicans can do at this point now, and I'll tell you why.
Immediately once they get those two senators from Georgia up there, they will get rid of filibuster.
Don't say Joe Manchin's going to be the hero.
He's a Democrat, and he will fall in line with the party.
They hide behind that moderate tone to get elected in their states.
Joe Manchin will do everything Chuck Schumer says.
The filibuster is gone.
The next step will be to get the D.C. statehood and Puerto Rico statehood.
After that, Act of courts.
Then it's going to go after the Bill of Rights.
Watch the sweeping moves on the Bill of Rights.
Okay, Keito, I just want to point out, I disagree with you.
I don't believe Joe Manchin will bend on that.
But if he does, D.C. cannot be made a state.

*music* And so Billy Graham was the most godly man I ever met.
I mean, I think he was one of the greatest preachers in human history, but yet there was this wonderful, sweet...
Quality, a humility.
I mean, he was a Southern man, so he was a gentleman in that regard.
But he was always very interested in everyone he talked to, and not just famous people, just regular people.
And I think they would just sort of end up opening their heart to him as a result.
And, you know, I mean, you think about, here's a guy who he first began to have communication with the president, starting with Truman.
That didn't go so well.
He learned some important lessons there because he kind of crossed the line by his own admission.
In his meeting with the president and talked about it afterwards to the press and never did that again.
But then, you know, fast forwarding to the various presidents, Billy was very close with Eisenhower, with Nixon, with Kennedy, with Johnson, of course, with Reagan, very close with Reagan.
And even President Obama went to see Billy at his home in Montreat, North Carolina.
And you could arguably say Billy had a relationship with Donald Trump.
Not when he was president, but when he was still a businessman because Trump came to Billy's 95th birthday party and sat at the table with him.
So they had a conversation and a relationship.
So to me, this is a beautiful thing.
It's like, you know, we want to, you know...
Paul says he becomes all things to all men that he might win them to Christ.
And it doesn't mean we compromise our views.
It doesn't mean we do something that is ever immoral or unethical.
But what it does mean is we want to keep communication open because the objective is to build a bridge, not burn a bridge.

They are living with the rights given to them by the Constitution.
It is the antithesis.
It is the counterpoint to a coup or to treaseless activity because they are exactly using the rights stipulated for them peacefully, not through force of arms.
Not through some abrogation of a constitutional limit, but exactly in their stipulated mandate that if they have concerns, that they may raise them.
There is a reason that the Electoral College votes are not advertised, are not declared by the state houses.
That they must be transmitted from the individual state houses.
Well, I'm not singing along today, I admit I admit it.
I don't fake happiness with you, but I do believe that we need a happiness hour probably more than ever.
And I welcome you.
I'm Dennis Prager.
Every Friday the second hour since 1999. It is now 2021. 22 years.
You realize that somebody born when I did my first happiness hour may well be married now.
An entire lifetime until marriage had been lived during the course of the happiness hour.
So I could have reached, yeah, of course.
There are a lot of families where I've reached three generations.
Yes, absolutely.
Because the 22-year-old, let's say, has a 47-year-old parent, and 25 more years, 25 and 47, 72. In fact, it might be four generations, because all you need is somebody 97 to have the great-grandparent.
By the way, if I have touched any four generations, In your family, definitely let me know and send a picture.
I want to see a picture of the four generations.
Well, the obvious topic today is how to deal with what is happening in your personal life.
The assault on the ability to be happy is very real.
Many people have lost their jobs, lost their incomes.
Lost their houses, lost their apartments.
Many people have been stuck or have decided to stay stuck in some apartment or home.
It is now almost a year that people have done this.
Nobody would have believed this a year ago or, let's say, ten months ago.
The news is constantly assaulting the latest hysteria, which is a form of lie hysteria, that there was an insurrection.
Did you know that?
There was an insurrection in the United States.
Half this country believes it, and the other half knows it's an enormous lie.
And that's a bad division in a country, isn't it?
So who do you think is closer to the truth?
The people who condemn what happened but hardly believe it was an insurrection because it wasn't, and the people who believe it was.
The better educated, the more you are susceptible to believing lies.
It's a very interesting phenomenon, isn't it?
But it's the happiness hour.
How do you stay or increase or fight unhappiness at this time?
This is very personal because I have to deal with this.
I love this country and I see it being ruined.
So that bothers me.
And there's really no place to go to.
And even if there was a place to go to, where are 350 million people going to go?
Or 175 million, given the other division in the United States.
So what do we do?
I don't mean politically and tactically.
What do we do with regard to happiness?
Well, there are a lot of answers.
The thing, I think, and some of you may differ, and I'd be very happy to hear your difference.
And I'd be interested to hear if the living martyr agrees with me.
I am curious.
I think that number one, and I'm not sure I'm right, I'm saying I think...
I think it's friends.
I think it's kindred spirits.
Because if you feel you're alone, I can't imagine how you could remain happy.
Do you agree with that?
Oh, I didn't know if you would.
Huh?
Kindred spirits.
You need kindred spirits in your life.
You know what?
I'm not even saying friends.
I've always made the case for friends as instrumental to happiness.
Right now, I'm narrowing it.
It doesn't have to be even close friends.
You need close friends.
I've been adamant about well before this current crisis.
But you need kindred spirits in your life.
It's funny I'm going to say what I'm about to say.
Do you know how many people have to keep their mouths shut about what they believe?
I'm saying that to a vast number of people, many of whom live this.
Email after email that I receive, I can't say what I'm telling you in this letter.
I can't say it at work.
I can't say it on social media.
As one of my guests last hour who was in Washington, a dear man whom I know, Mitchell White, said, the doors are just closing, people.
That was a great metaphor.
You need kindred spirits in your life.
That's why you should all be inviting Sean McConnell for dinner.
He has a kindred spirit.
He'll cheer you up.
What would you like...
It's a stupid question.
What's your favorite food?
If somebody invited you for dinner, what would you like them to serve, Sean?
Whatever they make best.
That was a very good answer.
Did anybody ever tell you you were bright?
Not often.
I had a feeling.
I'm not joking.
I came out bad.
That really is not the way I'm going to.
Oh, man, did I screw that one up.
No, no.
It'll take me most of the hour to get out of it.
Well, I tell you that.
Alright, fine.
And so does the living martyr who is not known to throw out compliments.
You need kindred spirits, folks.
By the way, you know, I tell people you have to take your kids out of the school system in most cases.
That is the first thing you need to do.
It's the most important order of business.
That is still a power that you have.
They may make it a felony.
You can't homeschool in Germany.
Did you know that?
That's right.
It's banned in Germany.
So, don't think that it can't be banned here.
The left would love to ban homeschooling in the United States.
Because then they can't indoctrinate your child.
And then that's the key to power.
But that's the first thing.
So, you want kindred spirits, it would be likely to be found among the parents of other homeschoolers.
There's a place to find it.
Now, here's a question for the living martyr.
If you did not have PragerU and this radio show, which is your vocation, those are your vocations, how would you go about finding kindred spirits?
Well, Sean, it's a good question for Sean, too.
How do you find kindred spirits?
You know, people date, right?
They go on Match.com.
They go on, what are the other names?
Well, I was going to say Tinder, but I... Tinder isn't...
Although, I know couples of truly traditional people who met on Tinder and married.
And what was the other one?
Oh, eHarmony.
Yeah, I mean, whatever it might be.
That's to find either a hookup or a spouse.
Okay, fine.
But how do you find...
Why aren't there kindred spirit websites?
Meet people who love this country.
Who love liberty.
I'm sorry?
Yeah, get a patent on that.
You know, it's...
Maybe some of you...
Know how to do that.
See, I have it built in, and I thank God every day.
I'm very lucky.
It is impossible for me to overstate how lucky I think I am.
Just for the record.
And I have said to you often, I do believe that luck is a big factor in life.
Good and bad.
And I believe deeply in God, but the universe...
Has a capriciousness built in.
You can get hit by a drunk driver.
A crane can collapse on you.
I mean, anything.
Anyway, number one suggestion is find kindred spirits.
Don't even make the word best friend in your mind yet.
1-8 Prager 776. Grim day for Republicans.
Raphael Warnick has beaten Kelly Loeffler, taken one Senate seat.
It looks like John Ossoff is going to be David Perdue and that the Senate control will pass to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
How I shudder to say those words.
But it'll be a 51-50 Senate.
We have been there once before.
After the election of George W. Bush in overtime, until Jim Jeffords jumped in 2001, it was a 50-50 Senate.
They split the committees at that time, 50-50.
I assume they will do the same.
Nevertheless, that means judicial confirmations of all but the most extraordinarily controversial judges will go through, confirmations for all the nominees will go through, and taxes will skyrocket.
Now, Senator Joe Manchin has said he will not support ending the filibuster, so that means nothing else besides the reconciliation bills, which typically have to do with finance and taxes.
They could have immigration reform attached to them if they tax people in the regularization pool.
That's possible.
But the District of Columbia is not going to become a state, and the Supreme Court's not going to expand, so long as Joe Manchin holds by his word.
And we've been here before.
I tweeted out earlier today, and I hope you follow me on Twitter, at Hugh Hewitt, and I hope you follow my YouTube.

My family and I will not be intimidated by left-wing violence.
Josh Hawley.
That is the text of a tweet that was sent yesterday.
The Republican senator was out of town on business.
His wife and newborn child were alone at home with no security, no Capitol Police officers to protect them, and Antifa tried to intimidate his wife alone at home with that newborn child.
Why?
What had he done?
Was he a criminal?
Had he stolen?
Public assets from the people of this nation?
Had he set free other criminals?
Had he embezzled funds?
No.
His crime, his sin, was to be politically of a different identity to the, quote, Antifa scum.
And yes, he is right to use the phrase, Antifa scumbags.
Because that is who they are.
His greatest sin was to be the first person from the upper house, from our Senate, to unequivocally say that he will raise a different voice. to unequivocally say that he will raise a different voice.
Get the hell out of the NAR. This is what I mean by fight.
By the way, it's very relevant to the Happiness Hour.
Number one, it shows you how little freedom of speech exists in this country for the first time in its history.
The scum at the head of the National Association of Real, these are scum.
Nice people who are scum.
If you don't treasure free speech, you don't treasure life.
Get out of the NAR immediately.
I don't care what your politics are.
You will not have what you say monitored.
Is that clear?
Get out of it.
If one-third of the 1.4 million members resigned, it would be one of the great lessons in American history.
It would be one of the easiest ways for you to keep happy.
If you are in the NAR right now as a result of this, you have been belittled as a human.
You cannot be happy when you grovel.
Is that clear?
Groveling and happiness are not related.
Well, they are related.
They're mutually contradictory.
You pieces of crap at the NAR are going to tell me what I can write in an email?
Oh, my God!
I'm out of here, man!
Now, the best would be to start the National Association of Free Realtors.
But people don't fight.
That's why I wrote my column about the good German.
People don't fight.
Even Americans.
That's what's so surprising.
That was the most saddening thing.
You need kindred spirits and you need to fight.
That's what you need.
That's what I got.
That's what I do.
All right.
Let's go to some of your calls here.
And let's see.
Nancy, Philadelphia.
Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Yes.
It's a pleasure.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I very much agree with what you said about kindred spirits.
And I've been to four different synagogues, some conservative and some reform, in the suburbs of Philly.
And I was not able to find any kindred spirits there.
Well, forgive me in a moment, because I know Jewish life very well.
There's no doubt in my mind there were kindred spirits, but there would be no way you would identify them because they're keeping quiet.
Even when I would speak to them, they wouldn't believe what I was saying in anticipation of what's been happening.
I'm the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, okay?
So, I heard a lady speaking to her dad at physical therapy asking him, did he want to go to a church service the upcoming Sunday?
And I had been looking for any kind of church or synagogue that had had a service in person because everything had been shut down.
And they said, yeah, we've still been having our service in person.
And I've been going to that church service now for five months.
My Jewish friends would think I'm crazy.
Oh, you'll have more kindred spirits at a traditional church than in most reform and conservative synagogues today.
I'll give you an example.
Sean, please play the rabbi who chanted on Rosh Hashanah, the High Holy Day of the Jewish New Year.
This is what this rabbi and cantor, or assistant rabbi, I don't know what the woman's role was.
Instead of the words of the prophets, to the melody that the words of the prophets are chanted, this rabbi, I think is New Jersey, chanted Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Okay, so there is no... so there is no...
This rabbi represents Judaism as much as I do Buddhism.
And this woman in Philadelphia, you know, you will find more kindred spirits at an evangelical church.
Is that where you're going?
No, it's actually a very small Presbyterian church, and the service honors the Old Testament and then discusses the New Testament, which I know virtually.
Right.
So you also, obviously, should try an Orthodox synagogue.
There you will find kindred spirits, too.
An Orthodox Jewish synagogue.
I tried one of them, and because I can't wear a mask for health reasons, they threw me out of an outdoor service.
Really?
Oh, that's sad.
That's mind-blowing.
Turning now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
And look, someone said, you know, they just messaged me They said, well, BLM wasn't arrested.
You're right, but we know how this works, okay?
That's the point.
That you're all going to get arrested, and you're all going to be tried for federal terrorism charges, and you might go to Guantanamo Bay.
I'm not kidding.
That's the level.
And you should know that.
And people say, well, that warrants a civil war.
Like, okay.
Then explain to me the strategic plan of exactly how that works, okay?
Tell me how many of your family members you're willing to go send into a civil war in this country.
Seriously.
And they're like, well, I'm willing to do it.
Well, okay, that's a much bigger, you know, conversation that I completely reject.
Let's put it that way.
What I am thinking this is all headed towards is a national divorce, which is a completely different thing.
Right.
I've actually predicted that happening for quite some time, honestly.
Oh, yeah, where 10 or 12 Republican states get together and they say, you know, well, they just say, we're going to peacefully separate.
Well, actually, there's a way to do the opposite of that as well.
If you look at the framework for the Convention of States idea to call another constitutional convention, theoretically, you could also expel a state that you feel no longer falls into.
The culture of the United States of America.
So I think there's multiple avenues for that to become within the realm of possibility here in the next few months and years.
And look, again, I want to say, why is this happening?
Why is this all happening?
It's happening because normal people, because people that love their country, the pressure release valves that were built for them no longer work.
The elections no longer work.
Free speech no longer works.

It's a lot of demand.
I mean, I think at the end of the day, excuse me, excuse me.
If I could finish my question.
You just said, what has gone wrong?
So I'm answering the question.
If I could complete the question, though.
So are you going to give a speech or are you going to ask a question?
We've seen websites crash and also senior citizens waiting overnight for the vaccine.
Where was that at?
We've seen it in Duval, Broward, Orange and Lincoln.
Why was there a big line?
Did you investigate why?
Could you tell us why?
Because we distributed vaccine to hospitals and the hospital said first come first serve if you show up we'll do it.
See I mean these CNN clowns aren't interested in any kind of Alright

Fine Kindred Spirits is my number one suggestion to you.
You must be able to express yourself.
I just read to you about the National Association of Realtors will now monitor your public and private emails, your public and private statements.
And if they consider it hate speech, you will be fined $15,000 and kicked out of the association.
Quit.
We need hundreds of thousands of people who love liberty.
This should include liberals as much as conservatives.
Only leftists find this very appealing.
And if you don't leave the NAR, you are complicit.
If you're a realtor, you are complicit in the destruction of freedom in this country.
Okay?
You may be a wonderful, nice, kind human being, but you're complicit in the destruction of freedom.
And when you grovel, you are less happy, not only less noble.
Alrighty, everybody.
Let's go to more of your calls.
And Ann in West Deptford, New Jersey.
Hi.
Hi, Dennis.
Thank you so much for your show.
That's one of the things that has kept me alive during the pandemic.
Yes, good.
I want to do that.
Thanks.
I mentioned that to your screener.
But the other things that I feel everybody can do if they are believers is prayer, you know, daily prayer, and exercise for me.
When the gyms open in New Jersey...
On October, whatever it was, I was there on June 23rd when the hairdressers opened.
I went to the hairdresser June 23rd when we could go back to Mass.
I was in the pew that Tuesday morning.
Then I had my hairdresser appointment that afternoon.
But exercising online just didn't do it as much.
But going to my Zumba class with everybody, they always say it's not a class at the party because it is.
Even though we're separated and we're in this huge gym, you know, 10 feet apart, it's still a party.
And it just keeps me sane.
Have you made friends with any of the people of the service?
Oh, yes.
Oh, good.
Okay.
I was in a prayer group already.
Good.
All right.
That's really important.
...at our parish.
And now, we went from 12 women...
To now over 22 people that are on my list because I just keep sending them inspirational things as I get them.
And we have a deacon who's in Florida.
He retired to Florida, but he gives us the upcoming Mass readings, the Old Testament.
Do you have a parish priest?
Oh, we have a parish priest.
He's a good pastor, too.
And he also publishes things in the Bulletin.
But these are for a lot of people who are older, and they don't necessarily get to see the Bulletin, or they don't have much online.
How are the homilies of this priest?
Very good.
We're blessed this past couple of years.
You are blessed.
We are very blessed.
He's not the left-leaning, and he is very out with it.
We had another one before that for three years that was really outspoken on the pro-life things and everything, and he kind of put out the pasture.
And where you live, are restaurants open?
Yes, but indoor dining has not been taken away in New Jersey after it was finally restored.
But it's very limited.
But I've been trying to keep the local.
My husband and I have been trying to do a lot of takeout this whole time with our local pizzeria and all the different businesses and even the fancier restaurants that do takeout and doing like really nice.
We had our 36th anniversary in November and, you know, we had...
All right.
I've got one final question for you.
You have children?
Yes.
They're adults.
How many?
Hold on.
How many?
Dodd, too.
Boy, girl, twins.
And here's the tough one.
How are they in terms of values?
Do they share yours or not?
One, not so much, like a Bernie Sanders supporter, and the other one is very much, like, puts me and my husband to shame with the top conservatives.
The one who is a Bernie Sanders supporter, is that the he or she?
He, yeah.
Has he kept up his Catholicism?
No.
Yeah, they usually go hand in hand.
Has she?
Yes.
Right.
Very much.
So, the tougher of even those questions is, how are your relations with him?
Wonderful.
Good.
So you babysit his daughter.
Okay, great.
For him and his wife, and they're wonderful people.
So he doesn't think that you're evil for being conservative?
No, thank God.
No, thank God.
Okay, thank God.
By the way, thank God is right.
I'm sure she knows, but I just want to emphasize, thank God is the appropriate response.

Do not be distraught.
Let not your hearts be worried.
It's a great country.
The Constitution is very strong.
And we're not going to see the filibuster go away if Joe Manchin holds to his word, and I believe he will.
They're not going to expand the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is a 6-3 conservative majority.
There are going to be a lot of very left-wing judges added to the court bench.
In the next two years.
They cannot be stopped now.
They could have been bottled up, the worst nominees.
I told you about that.
But now we will get the worst possible nominees, and they will get through.
We will get a tax hike, a significant tax hike.
It's unfortunate.
It is what it is.
Keith in Georgia.
What say you, Keith?
How are you doing, you?
I'm not happy.
Neither am I, but I will say this much.
We're finished.
There's nothing the Republicans can do at this point now.
And I'll tell you why.
Immediately once they get those two senators from Georgia up there, they will get rid of filibuster.
Don't say Joe Manchin's going to be the hero.
He's a Democrat.
And he will fall in line with the party.
They hide behind that moderate tone to get elected in their states.
Joe Manchin will do everything Chuck Schumer says.
The filibuster is gone.
The next step will be to get the D.C. statehood and Puerto Rico statehood.
After that, pack the courts.
Then it's going to go after the Bill of Rights.
Watch the sweeping moves on the Bill of Rights.
Okay, Keito, I just want to point out, I disagree with you.
I don't believe Joe Manchin will bend on that.
But if he does, D.C. cannot be made a state.

And so Billy Graham was the most godly man I ever met.
I mean, I think he was one of the greatest preachers in human history, but yet there was this wonderful, sweet...
Quality, a humility.
I mean, he was a southern man, so he was a gentleman in that regard.
But he was always very interested in everyone he talked to, and not just famous people, just regular people.
And I think they would just sort of end up opening their heart to him as a result.
And, you know, I mean, you think about, here's a guy who he first began to have communication with the president, starting with Truman.
That didn't go so well.
He learned some important lessons there because he kind of crossed the line by his own admission.
In his meeting with the president and talked about it afterwards to the press and never did that again.
But then, you know, fast forwarding through the various presidents, Billy was very close with Eisenhower, with Nixon, with Kennedy, with Johnson, of course, with Reagan, very close with Reagan.
And even President Obama went to see Billy at his home in Montreat, North Carolina.
And you could arguably say Billy had a relationship with Donald Trump.
Not when he was president, but when he was still a businessman because Trump came to Billy's 95th birthday party and sat at the table with him.
So they had a conversation and a relationship.
So to me, this is a beautiful thing.
It's like, you know, we want to, you know.
Paul says he becomes all things to all men that he might win them to Christ.
And it doesn't mean we compromise our views.
It doesn't mean we do something that is ever immoral or unethical.
But what it does mean is we want to keep communication open because the objective is to build a bridge, not burn a bridge.

Hey.
Thank you.
It's a dark time, and it is a dark time.
I never patronize you.
I don't give you fake happiness.
That's the reason I'm effective, because I'm real.
And I talk real.
And I combat anxiety over this country, too.
But I'm successful at it.
I compartmentalize.
Doug shows on compartmentalization.
That's why I, it's one of the reasons, I assume one is just, I'm lucky.
I sleep well.
I don't sleep long, because I don't need it, but I sleep really well.
I fall asleep quickly, even while I am immersed in the tragedies going on in this country of the undoing of this experiment in liberty.
Most recently, and I will be relentless on this, the National Association of Realtors must be crushed.
Crushed.
Either freedom is crushed or the National Association of Realtors is crushed.
They have announced that they will expel you for private or public speech or other communication that they deem hate speech.
Whew!
That's a biggie.
So, fighting, getting kindred spirits, obviously religion.
I have my Zoom service every Saturday.
I've not missed one.
I teach at it, as I did when we met in person every Saturday.
Wearing my prayer shawl and my yarmulke.
And with people I know and some people I don't know, non-politics, we don't allow any talk about politics, and it is an uplifting moment that I look forward to every single week.
When I was in high school, I made a decision, and I remember when I made it, on a New York subway train, coming back to Brooklyn, where I lived, from Manhattan.
I leaned back.
I was leaning back.
It's amazing how well I remember this.
I was in a bad mood.
And I remember saying to myself, you know, it's easy to be in a bad mood.
But I'd rather be happy.
And that was sort of the fork in the road.
Or as Yogi Berra used to say, when there's a fork in the road, take it.
Well, I took it.
It's become a very important, central part of my life, happiness, and central part of my message to people, the importance of happiness.
Okay, everybody.
Let's see what else you have to say here.
Paul in Chicago, hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Can you hear me okay?
Let me think.
Hold on.
Yeah, I think I do.
Okay, very good.
Dennis, I'm very honored to speak with you.
I don't call into radio shows.
I sought you out, and when I discovered I could call you, I had to take the opportunity.
Thank you.
I want to thank you.
I discovered you kind of late in my life, within like last year or so.
I've seen PragerU videos online, which kind of...
I stopped watching TV, and I just kind of watched YouTube videos.
And I really enjoyed the PragerU videos, and then I discovered that you were kind of responsible for them.
And then about three weeks ago, I discovered a YouTube video that you made which is titled, Happiness is not a feeling, it is a moral obligation.
Was that the one I gave at a college in Florida?
Do you remember where I gave it?
I don't think it was at a university.
I don't remember.
I think that was it, yeah.
Okay, go on.
I have to tell you that I have since watched it three times and recommended everybody that I know to watch that video.
You touch on a lot of things that I've always believed and tried to teach my children, but it was really obvious to me that it's something that you have really thought about.
That's correct, I have.
Such a polished presentation.
Right.
And it really explains the responsibility of being happiness.
That's correct.
That's what I do.
Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff out there.
Obviously not just of me, but a lot of good stuff of me.
It's all free.
And that, if it's the speech I'm thinking of, I recall it well in Florida.
Yes, it's out there.
People need to show it to their friends.
It is not just a moral obligation to be happy, or at least act happy.
It is a selfish obligation.
You owe it to you.
That's why I'm emphasizing this hour and this dark time.
Kindred spirits, kindred spirits, and fight.
Kindred spirits.
Look, speaking for me, and it's obvious that this is true because I speak for a living.
Yeah, St. Petersburg College.
That's right.
That's what it was.
Speaking for me, I know, if I can't express my beliefs, my thoughts, that is the worst.
I want liberty.
I crave liberty.
Sweet land of liberty.
That's being undone.
The National Association of Realtors is an example.
Listen, if I buy a house, do I give a damn if you're a member of the National Association of Realtors?
Do I even know?
I bought and sold probably six houses in my lifetime.
Did I give a damn if the person was a member of that?
We have, let's see, somebody had a call on that who hung up, had an interesting idea, and I'm happy I read it.

They are living with the rights given to them by the Constitution.
It is the antithesis.
It is the counterpoint to a coup or to treaseless activity because they are exactly using the rights stipulated for them peacefully, not through force of arms.
Not through some abrogation of a constitutional limit, but exactly in their stipulated mandate that if they have concerns, that they may raise them.
There is a reason that the Electoral College votes are not advertised, are not declared by the state houses.
That they must be transmitted from the individual state houses of our republic to the capital city.
This is not an invention of Josh Hawley.
This is not some kind of executive order by the president.
This is the Constitution of the United States that is clear that a joint session of the Senate and the Congress must Advertise, must declare in the final personage of the President of the Senate, the incumbent Vice President, who happens to be Mike Pence.
That is the order of our Constitution.
It occurs here in Washington, D.C. It does not occur in the state houses of this republic.
And it may only occur after all objections are debated and are voted upon by each house.

Ah, very nice. very nice.
I'm Dennis Prager.
Happiness Hour, kindred spirit issue, but I want to get a clarification.
Burbank James, hello.
Hey, Dennis.
Yeah, it's easy for you to say to drop out of it, but you can't call yourself a realtor if you're not part of COR. You can call yourself a real estate agent, and I can buy and sell your house no matter what, but if you want to put on your business card, realtor, or on your...
All right, so fine.
So let me say to you as a layperson, I'm an intelligent person.
I have bought and sold in my lifetime about six homes.
I, until this second, had no idea that there is a difference between a real estate agent and a realtor.
In fact, 99% of Americans don't even pronounce realtor correctly.
They say relator.
I know, Dennis, but the thing is, it's not about you, it's about us, because with us, you're not going to get onto a good brokerage.
No brokerage is going to take you, Kelly Williams, any of them, if you're not a realtor.
Unless you open your own brokerage, you don't care.
Most people don't care.
I agree.
I don't care.
But if you want to get a job and try to make any money in this business, you don't have to.
All right.
All right.
So let us say...
Okay.
Okay.
Hold on.
So let us...
This is very important to me.
So let us say...
Give me the name of a typical brokerage firm that people might know of.
Okay.
What Williams?
Keller Williams.
Okay, fine.
Let's say Keller Williams says to the NAR, we're dropping out of the NAR, and we will not demand that our realtors call themselves realtors, but rather real estate agents, because we believe in America and liberty more than we believe in the NAR. What happens then to Keller Williams?
I see what you're saying, Dennis.
I agree with you, but you know that would never happen, and they're going to lose all of their...
When you pay those dues, you have like a lobby arm that's part of it, that lobbies for a lot of realists.
You would lose all of that.
And I see what you're saying theoretically, but you know that would never happen.
It's like saying, you know, if all these Trump people do, things aren't going to happen in reality.
It won't happen.
There's just no way.
And like every other organization, the tops of them, they're all left.
So that would never happen anyway.
But the regular agent, unfortunately, just has to eat it.
Because they have no choice.
Unless you're uber successful.
Then you can do what you want.
But if you're just a starting out agent or somebody making a living, you have to have a realtor on your card or you have no chance of making it in real estate.
I'm quiet because obviously the situation is worse than I thought.
But we have to figure out a way to undo the National Association of Realtors.
Sandra in San Clemente started a PragerU book recently.

Frankly, I didn't listen.
They were saying that we're hearing that people are really upset and this could boil over any time now.

I will echo your point.
It looks largely peaceful.
Obviously, they've broken laws to this point.
I've been told that the House might be back in session.
This young man with a lot of energy is screaming about Mike Pence.
So we can now put this in the box.

Okay.

Yeah, we can mute this gentleman who has a lot of spirit.
Let's put it that way.
And so there's a lot of information coming in here in real time.
So we're analyzing and processing.
What did the president just tweet, Andrew?
Mike Pence, this is a quote, Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify.

She's talking about her parents' involvement in the civil rights movement in the 60s.
And in the interview, she recalled attending marches with them when she was a toddler in a stroller.
And I'm quoting, Senator Kamala Harris started her life's work young.
She laughs from her gut.
The way you would with family.
As she remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle.
At some point she fell from the stroller.
She was understandably upset.
My mother tells the story about how I was fussing.
And she's like, baby, what do you want?
What do you need?
And I just looked at her and said, freedom.
Meaning freedom, mispronouncing the word freedom because she's a little girl.
Freedom.
Here's the problem.
Martin Luther King, in 1965, gave an interview.
In the interview, here is what Reverend King said, and I'm quoting.
I will never forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, In a demonstration with her mother.
What do you want?
The policeman asked her gruffly.
And the little girl looked him straight in the eye and answered, feed him.

It's vital right now during these divided times that we all understand that the most important thing, no matter what happens politically, because I care about politics, but boy, oh boy, the reason I care about politics is because of the gospel.
And we've got to get our priorities straight.
So you're saying that Billy Graham, he lived that out.
And that's not easy to do, to work with.
You said Lyndon Johnson and JFK. I mean, they were famous in their private lives for really not being particularly wonderful.
People complain about Trump.
They don't know anything about JFK and LBJ, much less Clinton.
And yet, Billy Graham had the ability to love people wherever they were.
You were talking about people from an atheist convention.
Coming up to him.
And I just think we need to be reminded of that.
So tell us more about that, because that's just so beautiful that he would ask these people about, you know, who are you or how are you doing or what can I pray for?
Boy, do we need to be reminded right now.
Yeah, I think it's true.
You know, it was said of Jesus that he was the friend of sinners.
And that was a criticism leveled at him.
By the Pharisees.
But he was a friend of sinners.
And so a man like Zacchaeus had a conversation with Jesus.
So the woman caught in the act of adultery.
Or the woman at the well.
And he would build bridges to them.
Jesus was always building bridges to people.
And so Billy Graham really emulated that.
He was the most godly man I ever met.
He was the most godly man.
He was the most godly man.
I have no idea why Sean, I think, imbibed some very powerful tequila.

Okay, he sees...
Because I want you to get into the mood of the third hour, as it always is.
And this is the hour you set the agenda, whatever's on your mind, about you, about me, about life, about death, about anything.
I usually add cigars, fountain pens, classical music, photography equipment, and audio equipment.
Now we're talking.
You see, this is it.
This show, you know what is powerful?
Do you know how smells bring you back to a certain memory?
The power of smell is...
Not one we often think about, but so too with hearing.
Listening to this, it sets the mood for the third hour on Friday.
Nothing else would do it like this.
Alright, it's enough for now, because I want to get to your calls.
So, before I get to your calls, I have a running issue.
By the way, I always announce that if I drop your call, please don't be offended.
And I feel almost...
It's bad that I even have to say that because there's no reason you should feel offended.
I may have covered the subject.
I may know nothing about the subject.
Sometimes people call in on something esoteric.
What do you think of Plutarch?
I don't have any serious thought.
It's my lapse that I don't know more about Plutarch, but I'm not going to take a call.
I'm giving you an example.
Alright, so anyway, so if I let you go, please note that.
1-8 Prager 776, so periodically there are openings.
So I read to you one of the most frightening pieces in a frightening time.
The assault on freedom in this country is unabatedly continuing.
Coming mostly, not from government, coming mostly from private enterprise.
The National Association of Realtors announced that it can kick you out and fine you if you are a member.
And it's got 1.4 million members for any private or public communication, speech or internet or writing.
Hate speech.
If it's hate speech.
Undefined.
Well, even if they define it, it's irrelevant.
It means anything the left doesn't like.
That's all it means.
We all know what hate speech means.
If you say that men don't give birth, it's called hate speech.
I mean it.
I never exaggerate.
Never.
Okay?
Because I want you to take me as seriously as you can.
So I raise the issue of people just having to quit en masse, the National Association of Realtors, and then being told, well, then you lose your credentials and you are no longer part of a realty.
I just have to say, as a layperson, again, I mentioned last hour, bought and sold for myself.
I've never been in the business of buying and selling homes, but I have lived in about six homes.
I don't know why it happened that I have been in so many, but it is what it is.
I guess as I was able to get a better home, I got a better home.
I've been in my current home the longest since I lived with my parents as a child.
13 years.
No, more, I think.
Oh, whatever.
13, 15. Yeah, 13. Anyway, with all my interaction with real estate agents, and I always went through a real estate agent, I had no idea if they were a realtor or a real estate agent.
Most of us, as I said, most Americans can't even pronounce realtor.
They say realtor.
So that doesn't mean a damn thing to the average layperson.
But again, you may not be able to go out on your own if you're not in a realty, I don't know, agency?
Is that the word?
What do you call this?
Like Keller Williams.
What is it called?
Realty agency?
But the fight must be waged.
Look, I'm telling you, we have to disengage.
Every institution has been corrupted by the left.
Everything.
Whatever they touch, they ruin.
Now it's the National Association of Realtors.
It's the most important rule in life to understand the world.
Whatever the left touches, it destroys.
And the first thing it destroys is liberty.
Look at the colleges.
Look at YouTube.
Look at Twitter.
Twitter and Facebook are in competition for The most anti-American of our social media.
It's neck and neck.
And there's nothing more American than freedom.
They don't even allow doctors to tweet or pee on Facebook who advocate life-saving drugs that are utterly harmless.
Or almost utterly.
There's no such thing as utterly harmless.
Aspirin can hurt you.
But they're as safe as aspirin, essentially, like hydroxychloroquine and zinc.
Ivermectin.
I take both, by the way.
I, shall we say, I put my pills where my mouth is.
That was a good one.
I like that.
You must have loved that.
That's right up your alley.
We've got a couple here who are visiting.
They live in Iceland and made the trip.

I don't know what the state of lockdowns will be.
But I can't believe that that will be a year and a half.
So, anyway, we're planning on it.
There's a banner at my website.
And likewise, in October, I'm taking hundreds of people to Israel.
Every other year I do that.
If this lockdown has taught you anything, it's live while you can.
Which is what I have advocated and done.
Last year was the first year since I was 20 years old that I did not travel abroad.
I missed it.
And I missed Hungary by a week.
I was supposed to give a speech in Hungary, and they went on lockdown the week before.
Although, to be honest, thank God I missed it.
Imagine had I arrived and they went on lockdown?
Please, sir, go back.
Or go into quarantine.
Nothing I'd rather do in life than be quarantined in Budapest.
Because of my knowledge of Hungarian.
Which is unlike any language in the world.
It is related to Finnish, which is of course of no help, because I know no Finnish.
But a Finn and a Hungarian can't speak.
Anyway, let me take your calls.
This realtor thing has to be fought.
Okay, veto in Chicago.
Very rare that a caller and a city both end in a vowel.
Hey, Dennis, how you doing?
I'm fine, thank you.
It's a privilege to talk to you, and you've been an inspiration, I tell you that.
I have a question here.
How long do you think that this country can remain a country in the direction it is with anywhere from 80 to 100 million people having the door shut on them?
You mean door shut in terms of speech or door shut economically?
Liberties, yes.
Yeah, the liberty?
Oh, it can't.
That's right.
The future of the United States is in jeopardy.
That is correct.
And my mood, I'm not saying it's my advocacy.
I will now emote.
Whenever I emote, I announce it.
I would like to disengage from a blue America.
I would.
I have nothing in common with the left.
They destroy everything that I cherish.
So I'd rather you keep your states, we'll keep our states.
My dream is to have the blue sections of these states.
Philadelphia has nothing in common with most of Pennsylvania.
That's the way it is.
So I'm just giving Pennsylvania as an example.
Obviously you live in Illinois.
By the way, Chicago, that's right, exactly.
So the big cities should form their own states, do whatever they want then.
They can completely suppress all freedom.
They can have as corrupt a teacher's union as they want, and every other public employee's union.
It would be nirvana.
They would love it.
Why do Chicagoans want people...
You're from Illinois.
Give me a smaller city in Illinois.
Carbondale.
Why would a Chicagoan even want to associate with someone from Carbondale?
They probably fly the flag in front of their house.
They might well go to church each week.
They might have guns.
So we have nothing in common.
Let's have South Illinois or West East Illinois and Chicago.
Chicago will be its own state.
New York City will be its own state.
L.A. and San Francisco will be their own state.
That's my dream.
Now, how are we going to get there without confrontation?
Well, I don't know.
Why would they object?
They could have total power in Chicago, which they do anyway.
Because total power of Chicago is compared to total power of Illinois.
Right, you're right.
You know what?
You're a smart guy.
You know the issues.
Look, it's the first time in my life.
I've said we were in a civil war 20 years ago.
It's on the internet.
You can check it out.
But I always assumed that the civil war would remain non-violent.
And I wrote that.
You're asking whether that can continue.
I don't know how it can continue.
At a given point, when you simply rip people's rights from them, they will react.

Had he set free other criminals?
Had he embezzled funds?

His crime, his sin, was to be politically of a different identity through the, quote, Antifa scum.

They said, well, BLM wasn't arrested.
You're right, but we know how this works, okay?
That's the point.
That you're all going to get arrested and you're all going to be tried for federal terrorism charges and you might go to Guantanamo Bay.
I'm not kidding.
And the difference is that everybody on the right is going to be joining them.
And people say, well, that warrants a civil war.
Like, okay.
Then explain to me the strategic plan and exactly how that works, okay?
Tell me how many of your family members you're willing to go send into a civil war in this country.
Seriously.
And they're like, well, I'm willing to do it.
Well, okay, that's a much bigger, you know, conversation that I completely reject.
Let's put it that way.
What I am thinking this is all headed towards is a national divorce, which is a completely different thing.
Right.
I've actually predicted that happening for quite some time, honestly.
Oh yeah, where 10 or 12 Republican states get together and they say, you know, well, they just say, we're going to peacefully separate.
Well, actually, there's a way to do the opposite of that as well.
well if you look at the framework for the convention of states idea to call another constitutional convention theoretically you could also expel a state that you feel no longer falls into this is a version of take five what I consider the greatest work of jazz ever written What is that?

By the way, I just want to tell you about a new product, Nerve Renew.
It's a very interesting thing.
I have had tingling in my, you know, the pins type feeling in my feet for much of my adult life.
It's genetic.
It's nothing I did.
It's not an injury.
Both feet, same exact thing, bone on nerve.
Got so bad, I actually went and found inserts that really did help.
And then after about a year of nerve renew, which I studied what could help me, sure enough, I got rid of my inserts.
There's still some residue.
It's not 100% gone, but it's irrelevant to me now.
So I called them and said, would you like to advertise on the show?
They said yes, and here it is.
So I'd just like you to know that you get a two-week trial on a one-year money-back guarantee.

I'm Dennis Prager.
I've got a nerve.
Isn't that an interesting English phrase?
Boy, does he have a nerve.
Is that still said?
Christina, did you ever hear that phrase?
This is amazing.
I love it.
How old are you, Christina?
23?
I would like to come up with a whole batch of stuff that...
It's just not said anymore.
What would be said today for a man?
He's got some nerve.
What would they say?
What would you say today?
He's a racist.
Okay.
You know what?
I think there's a phone call for you.
The things that I have to deal with in my earphones.
All right.
Anyway, let's continue here with what's on thy mind.
Abraham in L.A., California.
Hello.
Hey, how's it going?
Well, thank you.
Oh, perfect.
I'm rather surprised to be on the air.
I've been listening for a really long time.
My mom was a Democrat.
She came here from Mexico, and then she switched over to the Republican Party.
I would say she's conservative now, and I just remember she would...
Off around my lifetime, she found you back in like 2000. So she would drive me to school and I would be hearing your voice.
And I found myself again, I guess, with God and conservatism.
And being from LA, it's just not the same.
It's not how I grew up.
And I'm just really glad that you're here for us.
Well, you know what?
I'm very touched.
Thank you so much.
She's 28 years old.
I thank you.
Got a good mom there.
I think all parents should force their kids to hear the show.
It's a punishment.
You don't do your homework, you will have to listen to Dennis Prager.
I'm kidding.
That is not an effective way to get them to like what I have to say.
But on the way to school, a lot of people said that to me.
My mother would have you on.
I often say to them, well, did you hate me?
I said in the beginning, yes.
You know, I may have told this story.
So about a year and a half ago, I think it was Philadelphia Airport.
So, as you would imagine, between PragerU and the radio show, I'm regularly stopped by people for a selfie or just a handshake or whatever.
It's very rare for me to say a guy is unbelievably good-looking, because it's not the first thing I notice in guys.
And there are far more terrific, good-looking women than terrific, good-looking men.
So he was striking.
And he was as tall as I, 6'4", so that helped him.
He's a lot thinner than me, and a lot younger.
Very personable.
He said, Dennis Prager, I love your work.
I listen to you.
And he had a tiny, tiny accent.
So I'm always curious.
Where are you from?
Norway.
And really?
And you listen to PragerU and my show in Norway?
Yeah.
I said, boy, you know, are you a conservative?
I can't imagine there are many conservatives in Norway.
And he goes, and this was the key.
This is why I'm telling the story.
I don't know if I'm conservative.
I just believe in common sense.
And to which my response was, then you're conservative.
Every conservative position is common sense.
Every single one.
Opposition to minimum wage laws is not doctrinal.
See, all leftist positions are doctrine.
Conservative positions are all common sense.
We have a very simple response to the minimum wage.
Does it work?
Are people helped by it?
That's not what the left asks.
Does it feel right?
So what if we put more small businesses out of business?
The idea of a national minimum wage is the antithesis of common sense.
The antithesis!
How could you pay the same wage in Alabama as in New York City?
Isn't that stupid?
They don't earn enough small businesses in Alabama to pay $15 an hour.
In New York City, they earn enough to pay $15 an hour because everything is charged.
A tuna sandwich is three times the price than in Montgomery.
Name a conservative position that is not rooted in common sense.
I cannot think of one.
And if you had it, I would probably abandon it.
That really struck me, that conversation with that really good-looking Norwegian.
He's married, by the way, so women don't ask me for his name.
I don't even know his name.
But that was a very powerful response.
I don't know if I'm conservative.
I just believe in common sense.
That's fine.
Don't call yourself conservative.
Just say I believe in common sense.
I'm totally okay with that.
National Association of Realtors is going to monitor your emails, your private conversation for hate speech.
Common sense suggests that that is communism.
That's what that suggests.
That's communism, my friends.
That's not socialism.
Socialism is mostly economic.
That's communism.
We will control what you say is communism.
We have never had that in American history.
I don't know how we can crush the National Association of Realtors, but that should now be in the ideals of every person who loves liberty in this country.

Do not be distraught.
Let not your hearts be worried.
It's a great country.
The Constitution is very strong.
And we're not going to see the filibuster go away if Joe Manchin holds to his word, and I believe he will.
They're not going to expand the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is a 6-3 conservative majority.
There are going to be a lot of very left-wing judges added to the court bench in the next two years.
They cannot be stopped now.
They could have been bottled up, the worst nominees.
I told you about that.
But now we will get the worst possible nominees, and they will get through.
We will get a tax hike, a significant tax hike.
It's unfortunate.
It is what it is.
Keith in Georgia.
What say you, Keith?
How you doing, you?
I'm not happy.
Neither am I, but I will say this much.
We're finished.
There's nothing the Republicans...
Can do at this point now.
And I'll tell you why.
Immediately once they get those two senators from Georgia up there, they will get rid of filibuster.
Don't say Joe Manchin's going to be the hero.
He's a Democrat.
And he will fall in line with the party.
They hide behind that moderate tone to get elected in their states.
Joe Manchin will do everything Chuck Schumer says.
The filibuster is gone.
The next step will be to get...
The D.C. statehood and Puerto Rico statehood.
After that, pack the courts.
Then it's going to go after the Bill of Rights.
Watch the sweeping moves on the Bill of Rights.
Okay, Guido, I just want to point out, I disagree with you.
I don't believe Joe Manchin will bend on that.
But if he does, DC cannot be made a state.

And so Billy Graham was the most godly man I ever met.
I mean, I think he was one of the greatest preachers in human history, but yet there was this wonderful, sweet quality, a humility.
I mean, he was a Southern man, so he was a gentleman in that regard.
But he was always very interested in everyone he talked to, and not just famous people, just regular people.
And I think they would just sort of end up opening their heart to him as a result.
And, you know, I mean, you think about, here's a guy who he first began to have communication with the president, starting with Truman.
That didn't go so well.
He learned some important lessons there because he kind of crossed the line by his own admission in his meeting with the president and talked about it afterwards to the press and never did that again.
And then, you know, fast forwarding to the various presidents, Billy was very close with Eisenhower, with Nixon, with Kennedy, with Johnson, of course, with Reagan, very close with Reagan.
And even President Obama went to see Billy at his home in Montreat, North Carolina.
And you could arguably say Billy had a relationship with Donald Trump, not when he was president, but when he was still a businessman because Trump came to Billy's 95th birthday party and sat at the table with him.
So they had a conversation and a relationship.
So to me, this is a beautiful thing.
It's like, you know, we want to, you know, Paul says he becomes all things to all men that he might win them to Christ.
And it doesn't mean we compromise our views.
It doesn't mean we do something that is ever immoral or unethical.
But what it does mean is we want to keep communication open because the objective is to build a bridge, not burn a bridge.

All right, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
I'm Dennis Prager.
It's what's on your mind, and for that matter, what's on my mind hour.
Okay, and...
And let's go to more of your calls here.
Matt in San Clemente, California.
Hi.
Yes, Dennis?
Hi there.
Yes, I was wondering if you actually fear death and moreover do you welcome death?
Who welcomes death?
The only people I know who welcome death are horribly suffering and want to be relieved of their irreducible pain.
But if you're not in such pain, do you know anybody who would welcome death?
I'll answer the first part, but I'm surprised by the second part.
part.
Yes.
Do you welcome death?
Yes.
Are you in terrible pain?
No.
Not at all.
So you welcome death because you think that what awaits you is better than this?
Yes.
It's an interesting thing.
This is a very important subject.
I make a big deal of this in my Bible commentary.
That's a danger.
That is the danger of Stressing the afterlife.
I believe in the afterlife as much as I believe in this life.
But the message of the Old Testament, at least, is you must be preoccupied with this life.
And that is why the Torah, which is the foundation of Judaism and Christianity, the first five books, that's what I'm writing my commentary on, Is hence strongly at the existence of an afterlife, but is very, very this life oriented.
No one should say they welcome death.
That is not, I don't think God wants you to say that.
That's a very interesting subject.
Probably do an Ultimate Issues Hour on that.
The first part is, do you fear death?
I've never quite understood that either.
I don't know what there is to fear.
My view of death personally is, I am so having a great time.
And I love so many people, and I feel it returned to me.
It saddens me, the thought of dying.
It doesn't frighten me.
There's either wonderful or nothing.
Unless I'm going to hell, and my understanding of God is that God is just, and I don't think I have earned hell.
That's my take.
But anyway, I don't know why anybody would be terrified of it.
But it is a saddening thing.
It's just very sad.
That we leave and everybody we know leaves.
That's why it's a chapter in my happiness book.
It's called Tragic View of Life.
I am happier because I've always known that there is a built-in tragic element to life.
So I don't have a utopian vision of life.
And so I am grateful for every wonderful moment.
The left has a utopian vision of life, and therefore they're not grateful for anything.
Ingratitude is the chief characteristic of the left.
To be ungrateful for living in America, there's something sick in your soul.
That's right.
You are morally and emotionally sick to not be grateful to live in the freest country ever devised.
But the human species is not terribly healthy.
That's why, by the way, just if I may refer to my favorite book, every family in the book of Genesis is dysfunctional.
It's the Bible's way of saying, unfortunately, that's pretty normal.
Then the rest of the Torah, the other four books, are an answer to the built-in dysfunction of human nature.
Genesis lays out the problem.
The other four books give you the solutions, beginning with the Ten Commandments.
All right, everybody, I've got good news for you.
Relief Factor.
I believe you should enjoy life, and if you can get rid of pain that you don't need, well, there is pain we do need, but if you can get rid of pain you don't need, get rid of it.
Relief Factor.
It's for muscle and joint pain.
They have a very, I think, not only good deal, but an honest one.
They tell you if it doesn't work in three weeks, it probably won't work, so they give you a special price for three weeks.

This is outside of the United States Congress, and it looks like it's happening.
It looks relatively peaceful right now, but it does look like Trump supporters have physically taken The plaza.
Is that right?
Yeah, it looks like they're...
I mean, if I had to interpret what they probably feel this is, it's the people taking their house back, their building back.
Again, I can't endorse any of this, but this is the furor people feel.
And I've been hearing rumblings about this from some of my friends in the intelligence community.
Frankly, I didn't listen.
They were saying that we're hearing that people are really upset and this could boil over any time now.
And I think that's, we're seeing this.
I will echo your point.
It looks largely peaceful.
Obviously, they've broken laws to this point.
And it looks, I've been told that the house might be back in session.
So this, this.
This young man with a lot of energy is screaming about Mike Pence.
So we can now put this in the box.
Is the house not back in session?
Okay.
Let's go ahead and mute this.
Yeah, we can mute this gentleman who has a lot of spirit.
Let's put it that way.
And so there's a lot of information coming in here in real time.
So we're analyzing and processing.
What did the president just tweet, Andrew?
Mike Pence, this is a quote, Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify.
USA demands the truth.

At some point she fell from the stroller.
she was understanding you
Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
This is whatever's on your mind hour.
That was an interesting one.
We're going to have to do something like that.
Man welcomes the afterlife.
I have one more thought to that.
I mean, welcomes dying.
We all welcome the afterlife, but we don't welcome dying.
Why would God, obviously a religious soul, why would God create this life if the whole point were to want to leave it?
God considers this life extremely important, or he just would have made the afterlife.
Just would have made whatever that is.
So this is a very important thing, this journey here.
Okay.
Don in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Hello.
Hello.
Thank you for taking my call.
Thank you for calling.
So my question...
It has a bit to do with kindred spirits.
I have a girlfriend.
We've been together for two years now.
She's not very active in the political state of the country.
She doesn't follow it too closely, but I would not describe her as a conservative, to put it politely, I guess.
My question, is it possible to be in a relationship with someone that you The operative word there was some.
I don't know anybody who has no differing views with any given person.
So, the some, you've sort of got yourself into an escape hatch in the question.
The question is, is it...
Well, I appreciate your honesty.
The question is, you know, Are they deep?
If we have some differences on what movies we like, my wife likes movies that depress you.
I like movies that don't depress you.
But it is not an issue in our marriage.
However, if my wife thought that the government is not big enough and it should control more of our lives than it currently does, That would be a problem in our marriage.
So, it depends what it is.
It sounds like your girlfriend is more apolitical than anything else.
Well, yeah, that's true.
Her mother is...
Well, she was a professor in San Francisco.
Okay, that's bad.
That's bad.
Oh, my God, one minute.
I'm trying to recover from both words.
Professor and San Francisco.
That is such a lethal combination.
That almost guarantees that you're a fool.
So, I think, for whatever reason, she doesn't follow politics too closely, but when it comes up, she tends to disagree with me.
Yes, okay, look.
Look, I hate to say this, because I don't want to...
I hate to say it, it's tougher when I talk to a married couple.
But since you're not married, let me tell you, the more in common you have with a person, the better your marriage prospects are.
Love does not overcome everything.
It's a stupid comment.
Of course it doesn't.
Right now, I'm sure that sex is great.
It's very romantic, and I'm not poo-pooing any of that.
I understand that.
But the prospects of a long-term relationship with someone with whom you differ on basic things, especially at a time, it might not have mattered 50 years ago, but today, her views might reflect what you consider Essentially the destruction of America as we know it.
It's hard to live with somebody like that.
And she shouldn't want to live with somebody on the other side.
I say this for both of you.
So I feel bad, but I'll tell you this.
It's always better to divorce before you marry than to divorce after you marry.
That's another thing to remember.
Okay, everybody.
Lansing, Michigan, and Mona, hello.
Hello, Dennis.
Hi.
This is so wonderful.
Thank you.
Yes, my situation is I have three grown children, and I'm very proud of them.
They have all accomplished and are doing what they've wanted to do.
My daughter in Cincinnati is single.
I'm a Christian.
They were all raised in a Christian home.
She is now an atheist.
She's in her 30s.
And a democratic socialist.
So she knows that I support our president and voted for him.
So this week she called me in a very calm tone and said, Mother, I think you need to be tested.
Like, for what, dear?
And she said, I think you have early onset dementia.
My immediate reaction is not as early as yours.
Yeah, for real.
I said, really?
Well, okay, I will contact my physician and find out.
That's a great idea.
Yeah, go on.
Right?
And so I speak to a counselor once a week on the phone.
It keeps me level, and I don't...
So wait, so she thinks that...
So it shows you how emotional the comment was.
So she thinks that 74 million Americans have dementia.
Absolutely.
Including 25-year-olds who voted for the president.
Absolutely.
My counselor said, no, I don't think you have dementia.
I called my doctor's office.
Send them an email to my doctor.
Ask your daughter, forgive me, because of time.
Ask your daughter, honey, do you believe that men give birth?
Ask her that.
See?
So she'll say, of course men give birth.
And then the one who says men give birth calls the one who say only women give birth demented.

Raphael Warnick has beaten Kelly Loeffler, taken one Senate seat.
It looks like John Osthoff is going to be David Perdue and that the Senate control will pass to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
How I shudder to say those words.
But it'll be a 51-50 Senate.
We have been there once before.
After the election of George W. Bush in overtime, until Jim Jeffords jumped in 2001, it was a 50-50 Senate.
They split the committees at that time, 50-50.
I assume they will do the same.
Nevertheless, that means judicial confirmations of all but the most extraordinarily controversial judges will go through, confirmations for all of the nominees will go through, and taxes will skyrocket.
Now, Senator Joe Manchin has said he will not support ending the filibuster, so that means nothing else besides the reconciliation bills, which typically have to do with finance and taxes.
They could have immigration reform attached to them if they tax people in the regularization pool.
That's possible.
But the District of Columbia is not going to become a state, and the Supreme Court is not going to expand, so long as Joe Manchin holds by his word.

That is the only true freedom that we have.
