	Thank you.
	Hi, everybody.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	It's already Friday.
	I find that amazing.
	As Victor Davis Hanson writes today, in an increasingly unfree America, this is a frightening time, and I don't get frightened easily, as you know.
	I'm much more frightened by the end of freedom than I am by COVID virus.
	I actually take seriously the Patrick Kennedy line, give me liberty or give me death.
	Because when you don't have freedom, and the biggest freedom is freedom of speech, you are a biological creature.
	You are not a human.
	If you can't say what you think for fear of retribution, you become An eating and drinking and relieving being, but you have lost that which truly makes you human, the ability to express yourself.
	When I visited communist countries, that's what I was struck by.
	Relegation of human beings into this basically biological status.
	They woke up.
	They went to work.
	They didn't get paid based on excellence, just on equality.
	They went home.
	They were monitored for speech at all times.
	The streets were very quiet.
	Because there's really not much to say to anybody in a totalitarian state.
	I was struck by that, by the number of people in the street, in Moscow, let's say, and the lack of banter.
	Certainly the lack of smiles.
	Because you're not human, so it's one of the reasons, though it's always been a problem in Russia, the drinking problem.
	But it's one of the reasons that it was exacerbated terribly, the amount of alcohol consumed in the Soviet Union, because there's nothing else to do.
	This is what the left does whenever it takes power.
	It ends freedom.
	Tucker Carlson last night had a musician on.
	The guy is a fairly popular musician.
	His name eludes me now, but it's not critical, although I would like to help him out.
	And he went to the rally, then went home, went to his hotel to take a nap.
	He never set foot in the U.S. Capitol.
	But it was...
	Publicized, because he's a public figure, he's a musician, publicized that he was at the rally, and the mob, the real mob, came out against Ariel Pink, that is correct.
	And the mob went after the company that pays him.
	It's on their payroll to be a musician.
	And they were attacked, and death threats came, and they let him go.
	He has no income now.
	He attended a peaceful rally.
	If you attend a peaceful rally for the right, whatever people can do to ruin your life, to destroy your income and your name, they will do.
	This is unprecedented, unprecedented.
	Maybe, maybe there was a brief period when this was what happened to active communists, people who supported Stalin, the second greatest mass murderer in history, the first greatest being Mao in terms of numbers.
	Mao, Stalin, Hitler.
	That's why Victor Davis Hanson, not a man to throw rhetorical bombs, ends his piece today.
	It's tentacles that is big tech.
	It's tentacles are strangling the thoughts and speech of an increasingly unfree America.
	People don't seem to care.
	The left doesn't seem to care.
	Even liberals.
	They don't seem to care about free speech.
	But as I said, that's what makes us who we are.
	Give me liberty or give me death makes sense.
	I don't want to live unfree.
	That's...
	What do you do then?
	What makes you human?
	That you eat meals?
	You reproduce, although that's rarer and rarer on the left, which is one of the good things about the left.
	They have chosen, in many cases, not to reproduce.
	Why bring a child into a world that the left has produced?
	That's really what it is about.
	We will make this world so much worse.
	That it's not worth bringing a child into the world that we create.
	They don't say it that way.
	They don't even realize it.
	There's no self-awareness on the left.
	This is...
	It's exponential every day.
	The increase in suppression.
	How do you suppress half the population?
	Well, it's easy.
	If you have all the levers of power, that's what was done.
	You know that...
	People don't know this.
	A tiny percentage of the Russian population was in the Communist Party.
	I think it was like 4%, 5%.
	I don't remember.
	I'll look it up.
	It was a tiny percentage.
	It's very easy for a tiny percentage to control a vast number of people.
	people.
	If you have every apparatus of power, then you can do it.
	So, at some point though, there are enough Americans who actually cherish liberty and who do believe "give me liberty" or "give me death." Thank you.
	And then you will have violence in the country.
	You can't suppress people's speech.
	Forever.
	Something will happen.
	I've warned about this all of my life.
	I've always known that most people think that I was exaggerating when I speak about the mortal threat that the left constitutes to civil order, to a good society.
	I would love to know who these anonymous mobsters are who threaten people's lives because you attended a Trump rally.
	That is what is involved here with the impeachment.
	The desire to...
	First of all, there's an emotional loathing of the man.
	Not because, quote-unquote, he lied or he's a narcissist or any of that.
	No.
	It's because they couldn't control him.
	That whatever the left doesn't control, it hates.
	Whoever they don't control, they hate.
	I mean, hate.
	It's all phony about the charge that he leads to violence.
	I mean, as Victor Davis Hanson writes today, they have on the Twitter, they had Let's see.
	I always remember the head of Donald Trump, Kathy Griffin.
	She retweeted two days after the election last month, or two months ago, she retweeted the notorious picture of her holding a prop that looked like the bloody head of a decapitated Donald Trump.
	Did she lose her Twitter account?
	Is that incendiary?
	Earlier last year, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted out a call to his followers to destroy Israel.
	Both tweets passed the censorship rules of Twitter's 20-something judges in San Francisco.
	Trump has been banned, in contrast, for life.
	From Twitter.
	And barred indefinitely from Facebook.
	Okay.
	1-8 Prager 776. I'm Dennis Prager.
	This is Albert Moeller for townhall.com.
	The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition.
	A prior commitment to an ordered liberty.
	An established order.
	That means policies.
	It means a covenant.
	In our case, it means a constitution.
	As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history.
	It's a remarkable document.
	All of that came to the fore in violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College.
	At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient.
	But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place.
	It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.
	We will never give up.
	We will never concede.
	It doesn't happen.
	You don't concede when there's theft involved.
	It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm, once again, our commitment to ordered liberty.
	It's the American way.

	A lot of conversation around incitement.
	There's a lot of conversation around, did people call for specific action that resulted in the illegal acts and the criminal acts of last week?
	But let's take a step back and ask ourselves the question, has the media been covering for violent action in recent time?
	The answer is absolutely yes.
	From GQ magazine, why violent protests work?
	Now, let me be very clear.
	I don't share these views.
	We've talked about the difference between civil discord and civil disobedience.
	We've talked about how once you go to violence, you lose public opinion and you destroy other people's stuff and you could kill people and that is not moral.
	However, this article by Laura Bassett goes through piece by piece.
	Why she believes violent protests work.
	And you can go back to a flashback where Chris Cuomo cut three where he says, please show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
	Let's go to cut three.
	Now too many see the protests as the problem.
	No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets.
	Persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice.
	And please, show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
	So, now they're going out of their way to call it an insurrection.
	However, back then they said, show me where it has to show polite and peaceful.

	I'm going to go All lawfully making protests, the same as Ted Cruz and the others were about ready to do until this riot took place.
	Did any of you tell Hillary to stop referring to President Trump as illegitimate?
	Of course not.
	Because you benefited.
	78%, according to Gallup, that's a poll you guys like, 78% of Democrats believe not just that the Russians interfere, which everybody agreed with, including Trump, but that the interference changed the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.
	Jay Johnson testified, yeah.
	No evidence whatsoever they changed vote tallies.
	They tried to get in the machines.
	They did nothing.
	As far as what impact they had on whether or not people thought this or that psychological...
	Hi, everybody.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	This is a new America, and it's not America.
	The destruction over the last few years, and especially this last year, a combination of depriving people without any protest, basically, of their civil liberties, their right to even make a living in the name of safety, which has been accepted by apparently a majority of Americans.
	The correlation between lockdown and safety has eluded me.
	On an empirical basis.
	In other words, I don't believe it, actually.
	California is supposedly an epicenter of the virus.
	It's been on lockdown for much of the year.
	It's unbelievable for me to say that.
	The solution to the destruction of the economy is to print more money.
	I mean, trillions and trillions of dollars of printed money backed by nothing.
	Absolutely nothing.
	Is there even any anticipation of paying down this debt?
	I doubt it.
	You just print more money to pay it and if it weakens the dollar to the point where it ceases to be the most used currency in the world, so what?
	There's no...
	There's no thinking that America should be central.
	The idea of that is a MAGA idea, and that should be extirpated from the national consciousness.
	The Ariel Pink story is up at the New York Post.
	Ariel Pink, dropped by label for going to Trump rally, says he was asleep for a riot.
	Doesn't matter.
	Now the people...
	You who have attended a Trump rally will be destroyed if it is possible for the left to do so.
	There has been nothing like this in American history.
	And now they control everything.
	And the most important, there's something more important than the presidency, the Supreme Court, the Senate, and the House.
	It's called the media.
	It's packed with lies on behalf of a cause, the cause being the suppression of your liberty and the ascent to power of the left.
	I have realized that you can't battle that easily.
	That's a very major crisis.
	And when you do battle it, the vast numbers of people who went to parlor, that was squashed by big tech as well.
	That was a...
	That was one of the most important moments in American history.
	Americans want to disengage from the thugs who run big tech.
	And they can't do that even.
	You want your own place to talk?
	We will not allow you to do that either.
	The monopoly on information is also unprecedented in American history.
	When I was a kid, Growing up in New York, I think there were nine newspapers in New York.
	I think I could even give you the names, but I won't bother you with it.
	So you had so many competing ideas at the newsstand every day.
	Today, for the average American, there is no competition of ideas.
	You only hear...
	The ideas and the lies of the left.
	And your children are taught that.
	My daily appeal to you, you have an extremely self-interested reason not to send your child to a regular school, public or private.
	And that is the chances of their growing up to be an a-hole are increased the more they go To formal education in America.
	And the Aholianism will manifest itself in contempt for you.
	You are gambling with everything you have a child for.
	Why do you have a child?
	To perpetuate the species, to perpetuate the nation you live in, your religion, whatever it is you value.
	So if your child rejects everything you value, it is one of the most painful things a human being can endure.
	I speak to people, good, kind Americans who love this country, who love liberty, some of whom even love God, and their children think they're fascists.
	That's right.
	Because their child learned that mom and dad, or mom or dad, is a fascist.
	You have to learn to believe a lie.
	It doesn't happen before your eyes.
	The child knows mom or dad is a decent human being.
	But school has taught them that their parents are indecent.
	That's what you do when you send your child to a regular school in America today.
	So I push and advocate and promote homeschooling.
	The left will try to ban that as well.
	They are already banned it in Germany.
	Because liberty is not a big value for the Western world any longer.
	Canada is a joke.
	Canada is more suppressive than the United States.
	It's ahead of us in the decline of a civilization.
	New Zealand is so far left that they refused to join with other English-speaking countries in condemning the Chinese suppression of Hong Kong.
	Bye-bye, Hong Kong.
	It's been taken over by a communist country.
	On a scale of 1 to 10, the Chinese takeover of Hong Kong bothers an American leftist at a 1. In other words, they are more bothered by some result in an NFL game than they are By the end of Hong Kong as a free state.
	And they think of themselves as a moral group.
	New Zealand is lost.
	Australia, civil liberties...
	I remember speaking in Sydney some years ago and being told by people there that The amount of trash that they put out has to be under a certain amount or they're fined.
	And I remember saying, you put up with this?
	Yeah, and these were wonderful people.
	People who agreed with me.
	That's why they invited me to speak in Australia.
	What are you going to do, right?
	Control the amount of trash you put out.
	Back in a moment.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Bercat.
	The most troubling kind of issue out of everything that we've seen in the last couple of days with Big Tech in particular...
	Is how Parler was targeted by three $1 trillion companies.
	These companies acted in a cartel manner, going after not just the distribution, but the hosting, Dr. Gorka, on the server space of Parler.
	Because we were always told, create a competitor, engage in the free market.
	And now we realize that you can't even create a competitor.
	If the big tech oligarchy doesn't approve of it beforehand.
	Now, you have an incredible enterprise.
	I was there for the SaaS event in Florida with thousands of young Americans in December.
	What does this mean for Turning Point USA? So I don't want to berate Parler, but the idea that you're using Amazon's cloud services is a vulnerability.
	Is your organization potentially the next one?
	They're just going to turn switches off for Turning Point USA? They could, and that's why talk radio is more important than ever before, and I hope that we'll be able to continue to do podcasting.
	But look, we are preparing as if the blue terror is going to continue, that the purge will not stop.
	And so anyone that thinks that they have some sort of inside access or that they're not going to get kicked off is fooling themselves.
	I hope that doesn't happen.
	And I want to be clear.
	It's not that I hope it doesn't happen because I want to make these companies happy.
	It's the millions of people that I think depend on our lines of communication, Dr. Gorka.
	And every single one of these interruptions, though, you have people that don't know how to get to the next platform.
	They're no longer following you.
	And so you have these keep you have these continual migrations, right?

	Obama didn't incite anything from Black Lives Matter.
	He didn't incite them or that shooter to do that.
	I mean, so why are you listening to idiots that bring that kind of stuff up?
	Is that a question?
	Hey, Hayes, is that a question?
	No, no, no.
	First, I'm going to respond to that, if you allow me to, please.
	Yeah.
	Lots of police officers, Hayes, felt that Barack Obama, because of his constant criticism of police officers, created the atmosphere that allowed these three black men to believe falsely that the police were engaging in racial brutality against black people.
	They posted it on social media.
	They told their friends.
	And one of the major policeman organizations put out a statement and blamed Obama for creating this kind of atmosphere.
	So a lot of people felt that way, Hayes.
	I know you didn't.
	I know the media didn't.
	My point is, if you're going to make this argument I live in Dallas.
	I live in Dallas.
	Let me finish, please.
	If you're going to make the argument that Donald Trump has created this atmosphere, then the same argument can be made about Barack Obama, but the left doesn't want to do that.
	No!
	No, I live in Dallas.
	After they looked in the background of that gentleman that killed those five brave police officers, he didn't have a bunch of postings on social media.
	He didn't have a bunch of stuff like that.
	No!
	No!
	Yes, he was.
	He was motivated, Hayes.
	Hayes, what was his motivation, Hayes?
	I don't know.
	What was it?
	The man did what he did because he was motivated by this lie that the police are engaging in racial brutality against black people.
	A lie that was pushed by Obama, that was pushed by Eric Holder, that was pushed by Loretta Lynch.
	And it caused that large police officers organization to say that Barack Obama had created an atmosphere that encouraged people to do this.

	I was watching a certain congressman who I won't name, a former congressman who... ... a former congressman who... ...
	Thank you.
	Hello, my friends!
	Describing the reality, unprecedented reality of deprivation of speech in this country.
	The cruelty, meanness, even sadism of many on the left is something we can't relate to.
	Our desire is not to destroy the individual who attends a left-wing rally.
	I mean, if they riot and destroy, that's one thing.
	This musician that was on Tucker Carlson last night, he attended a peaceful rally, Ariel Pink, he attended a peaceful rally, went to his hotel room, was put up on social media, and has lost his ability to make a living.
	The organized hate.
	That's what leftism is.
	It's organized hate.
	And children are taught to hate.
	I could almost tell within two minutes, without talking anything hinting of politics, when I meet a young person, I could tell whether they have been brainwashed by the left or not.
	They're cynical.
	They're unhappy.
	They're angry.
	They don't have the spontaneity of youth.
	They don't have the joie de vivre of a child.
	Likewise, I could tell almost immediately if a kid has been homeschooled, where there's an openness to life, there is a cheerfulness, there is a wonderment of opening up one's eyes to the magnificence of the world.
	For a left-wing child, the world sucks.
	I almost never use that term, but I don't know of a better term, one that is more precise.
	That is how the left, that means your local school probably, raises your child.
	Because if your child goes to school, school almost always raises the child, not the parent.
	It's just a time issue.
	They have much more time than you do with your child.
	Every parent knows how fast childhood passes.
	So to have the opportunity to be with your child a little more, and certainly during the years that they are open to ideas, To open their minds and open their hearts.
	The downside of your child being influenced by the left is not just the rejection of your values.
	They're not happy people.
	There is no such thing as a happy leftist.
	There are happy liberals, happy conservatives, no happy leftists.
	The most subversive speech I give when I go to a High school, for example, is on happiness.
	I gave it in one of the most prestigious high schools.
	Kids routinely go to the most prestigious colleges from this high school in the Los Angeles area.
	Some brave conservative kids organized my speaking there.
	I spoke on happiness.
	By the way, they were shocked.
	They wanted me to speak on politics because they never get a conservative speaker.
	But I was right.
	As soon as I told them that their feelings should not determine whether they're happy, I was giving them a conservative speech.
	That there is something higher than your feelings is subversive to the left.
	You act on how you feel, including happiness or anything else.
	So this is my daily appeal to you not to send your kid to a regular school because of the type of human being that will be produced by the left-wing teachers that they will almost undoubtedly have.
	Yes, indeed.
	Let's see here.
	Michael in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
	Hello.
	Good morning.
	Hi.
	You seem to be upset about Amazon not hosting Parler anymore.
	And I'm sure you're aware that there's a Parler suing Amazon.
	And Amazon has submitted documents to the court which indicate some of the kinds of statements.
	Good.
	All right.
	Please, do me a favor.
	Hold on.
	I have to take a break.
	I have no choice about that.

	I was watching a certain congressman who I won't name, a former congressman, who five or six times on television right now, he just said, I'm so surprised to see this.
	I'm so stunned to see this.
	You can be saddened to see it, like I am, but if you're surprised that you're seeing this...
	Then you have done an awful job governing and legislating.
	This should not be a surprise to anyone that actually understands what is happening in this country.
	And this is beyond politics at this moment.
	This is beyond Republican and Democrat.
	This is a multi-institutional problem that is happening in America.
	So I want to get into this as we lead.
	We're waiting for the President of the Senate, the Vice President, to reconvene this session.
	As we promised you, we're going to be covering this live.
	Tonight, and we covered it all throughout the day.
	What drove those people to scale the walls of Congress today, of which I don't support?
	But why did they do that?
	The sloppy and the lazy analysis that is being given is because President Trump told them to do that.
	That's wrong.
	That's not true.
	First of all, he didn't tell them to do that.
	But that's a simpleton argument.
	They did that because they don't trust their system.
	That's why.
	I just heard Jonathan Turley on Fox News, who I think is a very smart guy, and he said, how could these people not trust their system?
	What's gotten into them?

	And so I left the prayer chapel right off the rotunda.
	And actually, it's a good thing that I left when I did because it was literally just minutes later that the agitators broke into the building and came in.
	And I'm glad that I wasn't confused with them because I was wearing normal clothes, just normal mom clothes.
	But, of course, we're being confused with them now because everyone who's pro-Trump is being accused of being a violent agitator.
	And I just want to be on the record as saying that is nonsense.
	It's worse than nonsense.
	It's an evil lie.
	And we need to keep saying that over and over because this is a truly despicable lie.
	And we have to say it over and over and remind ourselves and everyone who's listening, What nonsense this is.
	That a few hundred people, we don't know who they are.
	Obviously, some of them were pro-Trump.
	Some of them, now we know, were not pro-Trump.
	They had infiltrated.
	But it's a whole madness.
	But it was a few hundred people and literally a million-plus people outside there for this joyous thing.
	And they are being lumped in with the agitators.
	And then everyone in America, about 80 million people, or much more than...
	Okay, all Dennis Prager here.
	I want to remind you about Pure Talk.
	It's a terrific product.
	I tested it out.
	I actually got a phone to test it.
	Pure Talk is, let's see, what is it now?
	$20 a month.
	It's amazing.
	Unlimited talk, unlimited text, and two gigabytes of data, $20 a month.
	And if you go over data usage, they don't charge you for it.
	So dial pound 250, say Dennis Prager.
	Pound 250, Dennis Prager.
	Save a lot of money on your smartphone.
	All right, back to Colorado Springs.
	And Michael, thank you for holding on.
	No problem.
	I'd like to read four short excerpts that Amazon objects to.
	I think you'll object to it as well.
	And I won't use any words that I'm pretty sure you don't want on your ear.
	Okay?
	Thank you.
	Right.
	Number one, shoot the police that protect these S-bag senators right in the head and then make the senator grovel a bit before capping they A. Which C, referring to Elaine Chao, should be hung for betraying their country.
	When the firing squads are done with the politicians, the teachers are next.
	Fourth, last, Jack Dorsey, you will die a bloody death alongside Mark Sucker-Turd.
	It has been decided and plans are being put into place.
	I hear you.
	They're disgusting and they should not be allowed to send their hate.
	I know a lot more about electrons than I do about the law, but I don't believe this is...
	Right, okay, okay.
	So let me quickly say, because I've got to go to a terrific guest.
	So I'd like you to actually call back even the third hour.
	The amount of that, like the severed head of the president allowed on Twitter, they're very selective in whom they ban.
	That's the point that we believe is the issue.
	And in the final analysis, while those are irredeemably awful, freedom comes with scummy results.
	There's no such thing as perfect freedom.
	Only in heaven.
	All right, I have one of my favorite people on earth, not just in America, on earth, Carol Swain.
	Carol Swain is a former professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt and Princeton.
	She's host of Be The People podcast and presents the latest preview video, which is among the most touching of the 450 we've ever put up.
	It is only uplifting.
	Here, you ready, folks?
	Out of the 450 videos, every one of which I am proud of, out of the 450, if I was told one should be seen, I would say it's the one this week.
	Carol Swain's video, what I can teach you about racism.
	Carol Swain, congratulations on your video.
	Thank you so much, and your words are so moving, you're going to make me cry.
	Wow.
	I love this woman, I should be more precise, so much.
	I traveled to Nashville just to speak at a fundraiser for her when she was running for mayor of Nashville.
	How's Nashville doing?
	Nashville is suffering like every city that's ruled by Democrats.
	Thank you.
	appreciate what you do your voice in the world and it would be a far worse uh a far worse world and situation if you were not involved in the dialogue trying to bring common sense to everyone else thank you that's beautiful Tell me about Nashville.
	Well, I mean, the mayor that was elected, we have a 34% tax increase that's in play He's passing a $1.8 billion transportation plan, even though, you know, people are not working.
	We don't really have a traffic problem anymore.
	And businesses have gone out of business.
	It's very different from when you were here before.
	And we have had our city targeted by Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
	During the time when they were rampant paging across the nation a few months ago, Nashville was one of the cities that was targeted.
	And then we had the bombing by the guy that supposedly believed in lizard people and acted alone, but it's not clear why he chose to bomb outside of the AT&T headquarters.
	So I'm going to ask you a...
	I'm sorry, say that again?
	That's how Nashville is doing.
	Yeah, okay, I hear you.
	I heard your chuckle when I missed the last comment I was talking over you.
	I want you to tell me, and this is truly, it's not meant to be provocative.
	How do you explain the popularity of the Black Lives Matter movement?
	Not the concept, but the movement.
	Ignorance on the part of many people that are supporting it.
	I think white people have been manipulated to the point that they see the slogan as a true slogan.
	They feel that they have to endorse it and they don't realize that it is a slogan that was chosen for a political reason and that the organization behind it It's very Marxist, it's destructive for our society, and it's global.
	It does absolutely nothing to benefit black people in America and, I dare say, black people in the world.
	But I think it's ignorance on the part of blacks that support it, as well as whites and those corporations that have enabled them by giving them millions of dollars.
	Well, they're just virtue signaling, but it has no...
	Positive good in the world that I can see.
	That's a good summation.
	I have to believe, but you know me well enough, totally free to differ with me.
	I have to believe that a young black being told you're in an irredeemably anti-black society.
	It has to have a negative impact on the way they grow up.
	I'd like you to respond when we come back.
	I don't want to interrupt you in the response.
	Carol Swain's incredibly uplifting video is up at PragerU this week, and obviously forever.

	If you are a Trump opponent, Do you not understand that when President Trump brings his inevitable lawsuit against the constitutionality of the impeachment proceeding trial against him in the Senate and he wins, what that will appear to do?
	It will appear to exonerate him.
	Thank you.
	Think about that.
	Donald Trump is going to sue to stop the impeachment trial because he should sue.
	It's unconstitutional.
	And I would not have voted for the October 6th objections.
	I wrote that.
	If I had signed my name to it, I would have changed my mind after the attack on the Congress.
	By the way, more than 130 arrests have occurred and more are coming.
	And if you were involved in being in the Capitol, you ought to retain criminal counsel and then have your counsel contact the FBI. And have them arrange for your interview and possible charging and then your defense.
	Don't speak to the police yourself.
	Don't speak to the FBI yourself.
	Hire a criminal counsel and turn yourself in.
	They are going to find you.
	They're going to find everybody.
	It was an attack on the Constitution of the United States.
	It was.
	And you're likely guilty.
	There may be a couple of you who were swept along by the mob and Forced just inside the building and left immediately, you might not be guilty.
	You might lack the requisite intent.
	But President Trump lacked the intent, as far as I can see, and as people have testified, and as the speech suggests, to be convicted of incitement.
	Though people are going to impeach him today out of anger.
	Liz Cheney said he summoned the mob.
	He summoned a demonstration.
	He did not summon the mob.

	Immediately, my first response once I heard about what was going on is that this was a planned event.
	It had to be a planned event because I had been outside with these people for two days, and they were the happiest, most joyful people.
	You had the prayer people who were there, a lot of prayer people, and then you also had what I would call the patriot people, people who were there giving speeches, you know, carrying flags and that sort of thing.
	But again, Not one angry speech.
	I didn't hear an angry speech, no mob mentality.
	There was nothing like that whatsoever.
	And there was actually a fairly scant presence of Capitol Police outside the building, at least on the east side.
	There just weren't that many people.
	There weren't that many Capitol Police.
	And it was surprising.
	I've been there when it's been joint sessions of Congress, when the Vice President has been there.
	You can't get anywhere near that building.
	What could be more important?
	It's crazy, right?
	What could be more important?
	You have the entire United States government gathered together in one room.
	All right, everybody.
	I'm back with Carol Swain, former professor, now host of...
	Be the People, a podcast, and she presents perhaps the most moving of all the PragerU videos we've ever put out.
	What I can teach you about racism, it's the story of her life, Carol Swain.
	So I was leaving you with a question, and I know you know what I think, but I want you to answer only what you think, and that is...
	Well...
	I have actually seen the impact on young black youth in my own family, and what it creates is anger towards white people, but also it provides young people with an excuse for not working hard, because if the world is stacked against you because of systemic racism, it doesn't matter what you do, you're at a disadvantage.
	And so I think for some people...
	They use that as a convenient excuse not to apply themselves when they actually do have the abilities.
	And the young people that I'm referring to come from affluent black families.
	They're not poor, but they still are not achieving the way they should be.
	Within the, let's say, just blood-wise or any way you would put it, because some are in-laws, some are adopted, but within your, the ten closest, I don't mean emotionally, relatives, how I don't mean emotionally, relatives, how many agree with you?
	Some of the ones that had the most disadvantages, I see in my nieces and nephews a few that are achieving.
	And they came from difficult circumstances like mine.
	Not as bad because they've had me, you know, helping them.
	But I see them applying the principles of those who are not, they're not angry.
	They treat me in a very respectful manner.
	They may not agree with me politically, but I find more of them moving more towards conservatism.
	So it's a mixed bag.
	But I can tell you that the ones that I've had the most pushback from, and one is a very close relative, it's a person that has had every advantage.
	That's right.
	Like the black writers at the New York Times.
	I mean, he's gone to the best schools and still has not lived up to his young potential because he thinks that systemic racism, there's nothing wrong with him.
	He has realized that it's the other people, it's the society that has caused him to be in the situation that he's in.
	And the situation that he's in is he doesn't want to work.
	All right, we have a few seconds, Carol.
	How does one hear your podcast?
	Well, Dennis, I've launched a show that's almost like a TV show because it's filmed in the studio called Conversations with Dr. Carol Swain.
	And if you go to my website, BeThePeopleNews.com, you can see the Be The People podcast.
	God bless you.
	That's all I could say.
	I wish we had more time.
	This is Albert Moeller for townhall.com.
	The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order.
	That means policies.
	It means a covenant.
	In our case, it means a constitution.
	As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history.
	It's a remarkable document.
	All of that came to the fore and violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College.
	At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient.
	But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place.
	It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.
	We will never give up.
	We will never concede.
	It doesn't happen.
	You don't concede when there's theft involved.
	It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm, once again, our commitment to ordered liberty.
	It's the American way.
	I'm Albert Moeller.

	A lot of conversation around incitements.
	There's a lot of conversation around, did people call for specific action that resulted in the illegal acts and the criminal acts of last week?
	But let's take a step back and ask ourselves the question, has the media been covering for violent action in recent time?
	The answer is absolutely yes.
	From GQ magazine, why violent protests work?
	Now, let me be very clear.
	I don't share these views.
	We've talked about the difference between civil discord and civil disobedience.
	We've talked about how once you go to violence, you lose public opinion and you destroy other people's stuff and you can kill people and that is not moral.
	However, this article by Laura Bassett goes through piece by piece why she believes violent protests work.
	And you can go back to a flashback where Chris Cuomo cut three where he says, "Please show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful." Let's go to cut three.
	Now, too many see the protests as the problem.
	No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets.
	Persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice.
	And please, show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
	So, now they're going out of their way to call it an insurrection.
	However, back then they said, show me where it has to show polite and peaceful.

	All lawfully making protests, the same as Ted Cruz and the others were about ready to do until this riot took place.
	Did any of you tell Hillary to stop referring to President Trump as illegitimate?
	Of course not.
	Because you benefited.
	78%, according to Gallup, that's a poll you guys like, 78% of Democrats believe not just that the Russians interfere, which everybody agreed with, including Trump, but that the interference changed the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.
	Jay Johnson testified, yeah.
	No evidence whatsoever they changed vote tallies.
	They tried to get in the machines.
	They did nothing.
	As far as what impact they had on whether or not people thought this or that psychologically, I have no idea.
	But I can tell you they did not manipulate the vote tallies.
	Well, 78% of Democrats believe the Russian activity changed the outcome of the vote.
	You believe that?
	But you don't want Republicans to believe what they saw on the videotape?
	Where somebody appeared to be picking up ballots underneath the desk?
	Now, I understand there's an explanation for that.
	But you believe, 78% of you believe that but for Russian interference, Donald Trump would not be president, but you want Republicans to ignore a thousand signed affidavits?
	Not fair!

	I love the idea that states get involved and why shouldn't they?
	We are a republic of states.
	Does that mean, Charlie Kirk, that we are condemned in the near to medium term to have a totally bifurcated U.S. economy along political lines?
	I think we're already there.
	I think when you have Salesforce say that they will not host the Republican National Committee...
	Then all of a sudden those lines have been drawn.
	When you have Shopify that says that President Trump's campaign can't sell hats or t-shirts, when you have Spotify that says the president cannot use their platform, we're already there.
	And guess what?
	Here's the reality of it.
	When you have a company that actually cares about platform access and is really driven by normal capitalistic profit incentives up against the wokesters, we're going to win.
	In the short term, their capital flows will benefit them.
	These companies have such insane amounts of uninterrupted capital.
	They're allowed to do foolish things like this.

	Never more needed in the history of the happiness hour than at this time.

	It could have been 1899 to today.
	Let's have the band play it up.
	My friends, this is a challenging time for happiness.
	If you love freedom and you love the country, both are threatened as never before since the Civil War.
	Yep, we have the Happiness Hour every week, so what I'm going to do today is invite you to simply call in and tell me what you're doing about your happiness or ask me advice or thoughts on the subject.
	Last week, I addressed this issue.
	And, by the way, you can start calling now, 1-8 Prager-776-877-243-7776.
	I wonder how many of you took my advice.
	My biggest advice for happiness now is to find kindred spirits.
	Somebody ought to start a web page.
	Kindredspirits.com.
	It might be already taken.
	And people need to find people to whom they can open because for the first time in American history to express your opinion can lead to your loss of name, reputation, and income.
	Just as it did in the early days of the Soviet Union.
	Such is the state in America today.
	So you need people with whom you can be you.
	You don't have to hide who you are from the mob.
	At your workplace, On social media, very possibly, I was going to say very likely, I should say very possibly, in your family even, while expressing yourself, just to say, I think America is a wonderful country, is now considered taboo.
	It's quite remarkable.
	I have no idea where it's going.
	It may end up in catastrophe.
	I have enough knowledge of human history to know that this moronic idea that, oh, the arc of history bends.
	The arc of history doesn't do a damn thing.
	The arc of history is a roller coaster.
	Oh, it's been great.
	There was the professor at Harvard who wrote this big best-selling book about how things are so much better today thanks to the Enlightenment.
	How many things better in America today than 25 years ago?
	In terms of what matters most, unless you don't believe it matters most, freedom.
	There have been improvements, obviously, in the lot of, let's say, gay Americans.
	There's no question.
	There has been an improvement.
	I don't deny these facts.
	But the overall trajectory of American life has been downward, of all Western life.
	It's an amazing thing that people think, oh, it just gets better and better.
	People become more and more enlightened.
	Really?
	Anyway, I advise to you with all the passion I can muster that you find kindred spirits to be with, to talk to, to have over unless you're petrified.
	About the COVID virus.
	Two people in my house have COVID. I took a test yesterday.
	The official test and the swab test.
	Guy gave me the swab then posed for a selfie with me.
	It was very, very sweet.
	And the I believe that the combination of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and zinc that I take, along with big doses of vitamin D, that I have nothing as a guaranteed protection, but I think I have protection because of that.
	People who have it in my home were not taking this.
	By the way, neither got particularly sick, but they got like a mild flu.
	And that's why I'm broadcasting from home, because I'm not broadcasting from the station because of quarantining rules, which I completely respect.
	I think they're useless, but I completely respect them.
	The number of things I am now doing that I think are absurd is unprecedented in my life, but there are limits to the irrational that I am prepared to participate in, and that includes wearing a mask outside, an act of such colossal idiocy.
	That to see all my fellow citizens do it is just painful.
	This is a challenging time for happiness.
	You need kindred spirits.
	This was my subject last week.
	You also have to ultimately realize you get this one life and you can't surrender.
	You won't be happier if you surrender.
	It's a happiness hour, so I always bring it back to the subject of happiness.
	Shutting up and closing down, it doesn't work in terms of happiness because all you do is the pressure then is internal.
	My doing this radio show is healthy for me.
	It's healthy for you.
	Because, oh my God, it's expressed.
	I have the ability, in my case, to express it.
	In your case, to hear it.
	Two and two does equal four, not five.
	That's a relief.
	If you have to say two and two is five, men give birth.
	If you have to repeat that enough, it takes a toll on you.
	There's no question.
	When you know you're saying something that isn't true over and over and you're forced to say it, America's systemically racist.
	Men give birth.
	America was founded in 1619. The more lies you know you're saying, the bigger the price you pay, even biologically.
	In eighth grade in health, I can't believe I remember this, but it was.
	There was a book that we had to read for health education in my last year in elementary school.
	I think it was titled Stress Kills.
	And it's the only thing I remember was the title.
	But it had a big impact on me.
	It's one of the reasons I pursued inner peace.
	Because I didn't want to be killed.
	Everybody knows that you can eat up your insides, literally, if you suppress what you believe.
	There's a psychic and biological toll that you pay to say untruths or to just shut up, to be among people and know you can't say what you believe, lest you lose your livelihood.
	A very real price is paid.
	I have a friend in a major American orchestra, because I'm involved, as you know, in music.
	And he came out, as it were, as conservative.
	And his colleagues did not know that.
	And he is so much happier.
	Yes, he's not the most popular member.
	No, he's the sweetest guy in the world.
	Not the most popular member of the orchestra anymore, that's clear.
	But, look, ask gays who came out of the closet.
	How did it feel to come out of the closet?
	It was frightening, but it was so liberating.
	Today's gay, in terms of opprobrium from society, is a conservative.
	And you pay a price.
	Ask the gays of a generation or two ago who were in the closet.
	Did you pay a price?
	Of course they did.
	Why don't you pay a price if you're in the closet as a conservative?
	Right?
	But the closet is a closet.
	Closets are equal.
	They don't care who's in it.
	They equally suppress the air that you can breathe.
	I will take your calls.

	None of it made sense.
	And after the event happened, every single piece of evidence that came showed me this was clearly a planned event.
	This was a planned event designed to do exactly what you're seeing day after day.
	It's identity theft.

	Cheryl in Chicago, thank you for calling.
	Hi, Mr. Prager.
	It's Cheryl Lynn.
	I'm so happy to hear from you.
	I've been having happiness ever since I found you.
	And you're my kindred spirit, and I would love to start that kindred spirit website and stuff, but I look at myself as, what can I do?
	The only thing I can offer, to even have a part of it, is I'm very brave, and I'm happy, and I find happiness in so many places.
	And when I found myself getting down, I turn on 1160 AM radio.
	I can tell you all the people on there, even through the night, which is the latest hour is Hugh Hewitt.
	And I sleep with the radio on.
	Anything I do, I have the radio on.
	1160 AM radio.
	And if you guys got together all the time and talked about your situation, you guys would learn from each other.
	And you know what?
	You had some situations for you.
	That I've actually talked to God, and He's given me answers for you.
	And I love you, and I want the best for you.
	And all I can say is, I went to that cigar shop you talked about.
	I walked in, and I wanted to get some pipe tobacco that my grandfather used to smoke.
	And they didn't have it, but I knew if I smelled it, it would make me feel so good.
	Well, in that cigar shop came a Democrat, and the Democrat came in and said, Can I buy cigars?
	And the person said, Come on in.
	So they came in because they were polite and kind and sweet, and we had a great time, tender spirits, with a Democrat.
	That is a beautiful story.
	God bless you, Cheryl.
	That's all I can say.
	What else can I say?
	I was in Schaumburg, I believe, that cigar place.
	Yep, indeed.
	She has the experience of falling asleep to Hugh Hewitt.
	I remember when I was beginning radio, I was on 9 p.m.
	to midnight in Los Angeles, and how often I would meet people and say, you know, I fall asleep listening to you every night.
	They meant it as a compliment.
	I'll leave it at that.
	All right.

	People in my life, that when I'm around them, when I'm done, my tongue is like a bloody stump, just from having to bite my tongue, because some people that I know are just not teachable.
	But I have a group of three friends who also paint porcelain in China with me, and we get together almost every week.
	And we are kindred spirits.
	And it's so funny because last week we got together on Friday and we were all just pouring our hearts out to each other about the election and the cancel culture and, and I don't know, the disappointment we feel for our country.
	And then we started to talk, too, about things that have happened amongst our families and our other friends.
	But we are like-minded, and we could encourage each other, and we laughed together, and we shared some encouraging stories.
	And it was just like a great debriefing time.
	Kind of cleanses your soul.
	Boy, do I understand that.
	Thank you.
	You know, they say the they is experts.
	For whom I have increasing contempt when they speak on anything other than the technical data that they have mastered.
	But I do believe this, that you will live longer, all things being equal, you live longer if you have friends.
	So much so that they say that the longevity increase actually is equal to the longevity decrease of smoking cigarettes regularly.
	That's how powerful having friends is.
	So when you think about it, why is that?
	Well, obviously the endorphins have the happy hormones, if you will, that are secreted.
	It makes you happier and that has an impact on you physiologically, just as tension has an impact on you physiologically.
	I believe that what I said earlier is operative.
	The more you have to suppress yourself, that is spend time with non-kindred spirits, that is what suppressing yourself is caused by, the not only less happy you will be, the less healthy you will be, and probably the less you will live.
	So this is a huge issue.
	I'm going to look up during the break if there's a website called Kindred Spirits.
	There probably is.
	And I can only imagine what it might be.
	All right.
	Let's go to Karen in Cleveland.
	Hello, Karen.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Oh, so happy to talk to you.
	Just want to let you know that for stress, I walk.
	And when I'm walking, I listen to you, or I listen to music, and I sing and I dance.
	And one time when I was walking, the police stopped me.
	He was concerned because he thought something was wrong.
	Yes, I don't blame him.
	Hold on with me.
	me we'll be back this is Albert Moeller for townhall.com The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order.
	That means policies.
	It means a covenant.
	In our case, it means a constitution.
	As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history.
	It's a remarkable document.
	All of that came to the fore in violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College.
	At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient.
	But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place.
	It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.
	We will never give up.
	We will never concede.
	It doesn't happen.
	You don't concede when there's theft involved.
	It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm, once again, our commitment to ordered liberty.
	It's the American way.

	A lot of conversation around incitements.
	There's a lot of conversation around, did people call for specific action that resulted in the illegal acts and the criminal acts of last week?
	But let's take a step back and ask ourselves the question, has the media been covering for violent action in recent time?
	The answer is absolutely yes.
	From GQ magazine, why violent protests work.
	Now, let me be very clear.
	I don't share these views.
	We've talked about the difference between civil discord and civil disobedience.
	We've talked about how once you go to violence, you lose public opinion and you destroy other people's stuff and you can kill people and that is not moral.
	However, this article by Laura Bassett goes through piece by piece.
	Why she believes violent protests work.
	And you can go back to a flashback where Chris Cuomo cut three where he says, please show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
	Let's go to cut three.
	Now, too many see the protests as the problem.
	No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets.
	Persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice.
	And please, show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
	So, now they're going out of their way to call it an insurrection.
	However, back then they said, show me where it has to show polite and peaceful.

	It's the Happiness Hour every Friday, the second hour of the Dennis Prager Show.
	What are you doing in this unprecedentedly dark time since the Civil War?
	We haven't had it, even in World War II, because you had a country deeply, deeply worried about so many of its young men, overwhelmingly at that time, was young men in Europe and in the Pacific.
	And the knock on the door to tell you you lost your beloved child, the horrifying moment that that was for people.
	But you had a country that believed in itself.
	A country that thought that the flag represented essentially goodness with all its flaws because human beings are flawed and human beings make up countries.
	So this is the worst time in American history since the Civil War.
	And it's a challenge to being happy.
	So what are you doing about it?
	And my first piece of advice, as it was last week, is finding kindred spirits.
	Because if you live in the closet, as the mob wants you to, History will record that the big corporations and tech groups and others on the progressive side were the villains,
	the truly bad, the truly mean, the truly bullying, the truly un-American, and it will be recorded.
	This history has a way.
	It takes time.
	And that actually, believe it or not, is some source of comfort to me that one day Jack Dorsey will be seen as one of the worst people to have ever lived in this country.
	That gives me some peace.
	Alright, now we were talking to Karen who dances and listens to the show.
	Do you do that at the same time?
	I walk, and while I'm walking, I sing, and when I'm singing, my steps are like dancing.
	And as I said, the police stopped me to find out if I was okay, told them what I was doing, and now every once in a while I get a honk from a police car, and it's that guy, and I wave at him and keep dancing and singing.
	It's wonderful.
	It is wonderful.
	For me, music is the reason that I can smile.
	Well, you know my love of music.
	I think music is one of the arguments for God's existence.
	So, what about the kindred spirit issue?
	Do you have them in your life?
	I'm a singer, and I also dance, belong to groups, so a lot of the people I know are in the arts, and you can take it from there.
	Oh, boy.
	Well, then you really...
	All right, so...
	In addition to dancing and singing and listening to the show, you have to find...
	Is it kindred soul?
	Is it kindred spirit or kindred soul?
	I think it's kindred spirit.
	I think that's the way the phrase is.
	God, she's in the arts.
	It's amazing how much I love classical music, the role it plays in my life, and how many fools produce this beauty.
	That's why I don't judge any art, literature, painting, music by the artist.
	The artist may well be a bad guy, a jerk, a schmuck, if I may say.
	But if they produced great art, then I... I just appreciate that.
	The separation of the artist from the art is necessary for me to love the art.
	That the average member of the average orchestra is a non-thinking sheep doesn't mean that their playing doesn't move me to tears.
	One has nothing to do with the other.
	Okay?
	This is the way life is.
	I wish there was an inevitable combination.
	You produce such sounds when you play Beethoven, then you must be deep and fine.
	It doesn't work that way.
	Back in a moment.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	Immediately, my first response once I heard about what was going on is that This was a planned event.
	It had to be a planned event because I had been outside with these people for two days, and they were the happiest, most joyful people.
	You had the prayer people who were there, a lot of prayer people, and then you also had what I would call the patriot people, people who were there giving speeches, you know, carrying flags and that sort of thing.
	But again...
	Not one angry speech.
	I didn't hear an angry speech, no mob mentality.
	There was nothing like that whatsoever.
	And there was actually a fairly scant presence of Capitol Police outside the building, at least on the east side.
	There just weren't that many people.
	There weren't that many Capitol Police.
	And it was surprising.
	I've been there when it's been joint sessions of Congress, when the Vice President has been there.
	You can't get anywhere near that building.
	What could be more important?
	It's crazy, right?
	What could be more important?
	You have the entire United States government gathered together in one room.
	You would think that there'd be more security there than for anything in the world.
	Exactly.
	Especially when there's a million people outside on the streets.
	None of it made sense.
	And after the event happened, every single piece of evidence that came showed me this was clearly a planned event.
	This was a planned event designed to do exactly what you're seeing day after day.
	It's identity theft.
	This was the left's victory.
	The left planned this.
	And their victory is that they are stealing President Trump's identity.

	And remember when Nicole Hannah-Jones, Cut 5, said that destroying property which can be replaced is not violence?
	Let's play Cut 5. Destroying property which can be replaced is not violence.
	And to put those things, to use the exact same language to describe those two things, I think really it's not moral to do that.
	So that's not moral to do that, to conflate rioting and looting and destruction.
	But the rioting, looting and destruction is perfectly moral, according to Nicole Hannah-Jones.
	Now, Nicole Hannah-Jones was never Called to task for her quote-unquote incitement or using her freedom of speech to do that.
	And so we go back through this for a very specific reason because what you have here is 300,000 to 400,000 Trump supporters that went to the Washington Monument, a fraction that went to the Capitol.
	Now a lot of people that were going to the Capitol did not know that they were going to intersect with People that were on the east side of the Capitol that were almost being there professionally agitating.
	And Isabel, you know some people that went last week.
	I do.
	And they went peacefully.
	They absolutely did.
	You know, demonstrating at the Capitol in a peaceful and patriotic way is part of our nation's history.
	It's how people make their voices heard.
	And we've seen that repeatedly on the left, especially in the last few years when people have protested the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, again, protesting the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, several pieces of legislation and the tax cuts and everything.
	I mean, we can go on and on.
	That is a clear pattern of behavior in American history where people feel that that's a venue that they can make their voice heard.
	That's not necessarily in and of itself a bad thing.
	where it crosses the line obviously is when laws are broken when property is destroyed when violence is incited and that's never okay and we've been very clear about that keep up with what's trending subscribe on youtube today they won't go flat

	Is that what I looked up?
	Yeah, I think so.

	Hello, Dennis.
	My name is Brian.
	Right.
	Hi.
	And I want to say, even though I'm a Methodist, you're my rabbi.
	Well, I am very touched.
	I really am.
	A lot of Christians say that to me, and it means the world.
	Thank you.
	Well, what I wanted to say was it really touched a chord with me when you talked about how soul-crushing it is to not be able to express who you really are.
	And being a gay Christian, a gay Republican, a conservative...
	I wanted to say it was much easier to come out as gay than it is to come out as conservative living in Los Angeles to other gay friends.
	I want you to know that, and I've mentioned this a number of times, the amazing thing is I got that call, a gay in Hollywood called me in the 1990s and said that.
	So this is not, he said it's easier to come out in Hollywood as gay.
	This is the 90s than it is to come out as a conservative.
	Today, there's no comparison.
	So what do your gay friends say to you, to the extent that you open up?
	What do they say?
	Well, I would say probably about 25% of them either publicly or secretly agree.
	So there is a large population that agrees, but they don't want all of the flack of having to actually come out as conservative.
	So most people just avoid it.
	And I've lost some friends, but I look at it as if that's what tips the scale, then they really weren't friends.
	You know, and I'm not on Facebook.
	I feel like that's a very negative, angry space to be.
	So I don't do any of that.
	And I'm a very happy person, Dennis, and people will ask me, and I credit you, because I always say physics is hard, happiness is easy, and I tell them about your, you know, that all it really boils down to is gratitude and expectations.
	If you're grateful for what you have in life, and if your expectations are realistic, you're going to be happy.
	That's right.
	That's exactly right.
	Well, you're a good soul, and I thank you.
	I don't know how many of you listening know the role, the disproportionate role that gay conservatives now play in the conservative movement in America.

	Let me see.
	Tammy Bruce.
	She is just brilliant.
	A brilliant conservative.
	Thoughtful, brilliant.
	There are guys at Town Hall.
	It's very interesting.

	Oh, I'm gay, so I should be a leftist.
	It has no thought.
	There's no thought element.
	Same with black, same with Jew.
	Oh, I'm a Jew.
	I should be on the left.
	I say that as a Jew.
	And same with, oh, I'm black.
	I should be on the left.
	Yeah, yeah, it's true.
	They've done nothing for me.
	Nothing.
	Zero.
	Oh, it's true.

	Greenview, Missouri.
	Mary, hi.
	Hi, this is Mary.
	Dennis, I just wanted to let you know, several years ago when Obama was running for president, I went back to the East Coast to spend time with my family, and I was the only conservative there.
	And I felt so isolated when I got back to Denver, where I was living at the time.
	I looked up and found the Prager Fan Club.
	And I met the most wonderful people in that club.
	But we moved.
	And now I think I'm going to have to start my own club.
	Where was that club?
	It was in Westminster, Colorado, which is a suburb of Denver.
	And now on the internet there are two of them.
	There's also one, I think, in Lone Tree.
	So you want to start one in Missouri?
	Yeah, I think I will.
	I'm going to go to a Republican Club meeting next week, and I'm going to see if there would be an interest.
	Well...
	You know, we didn't speak a whole lot about you, but we spoke about your principles, and we quoted you.
	Let me just say this.
	Between talking about me and talking about my principles, I'll take the latter any day.
	Okay.
	That's...
	It's not a competition.
	In fact, if I were talked about and my principles and ideas were not, then I would think I failed.
	It's like people, after a speech, and I've given thousands of speeches, I don't want people to say, what a great speech.
	I want them to remember some of the ideas that I spoke about.
	It's not the same thing.
	Great speech, and ooh, that really affected me.

	So, I have a very strong commitment to this broadcast.
	Talking about what you're doing in terms of happiness and the importance of having a place where you can express yourself and not suppress yourself.
	Chris, Denver, hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	So good to be talking with you today, and what a great topic.
	I would call myself the quintessential suppressed conservative soul.
	Being here in the Socialist Republic of Denver, Colorado, it's been a process for me.
	I really wouldn't talk to anyone about my beliefs.
	And actually here in Denver and the metro area in general, people just assume you're a liberal now.
	I mean, that's how much the balance has shifted.
	But for me, This year, especially in the Trump era, where people weren't even putting signs in their yards who were supporting President Trump, it came down to a choice.
	I felt like I had a bowling ball in my stomach all the time.
	I was suppressing my feelings so much about what I really believed.
	So when I started to come out, which is so funny, coming out of the closet, I can't tell you how much better and how much happier I feel and am because I've done that.
	Wow.
	I wish I could hear your story.
	I really do.
	And less Zoe, Bucky, Dick, Brian, Chris, Anita, Jody.
	Forgive me, my friends.
	It's important to get out of the closet.
	find kindred spirits, and now call on any subject under the sun.
	If you are a Trump opponent, do you not understand that when President Trump brings his inevitable lawsuit against the constitutionality of the impeachment proceeding trial against him in
	and he wins, what that will appear to do?
	It will appear to exonerate him.
	Think about that.
	Donald Trump is going to sue to stop the impeachment trial because he should sue.
	It's unconstitutional.
	And I would not have voted for the October 6th objections.
	I wrote that.
	If I had signed my name to it, I would have changed my mind after the attack on the Congress.
	By the way, more than 130 arrests have occurred and more are coming.
	And if you were involved in being in the Capitol, you ought to retain criminal counsel and then have your counsel contact the FBI and have them arrange for your interview and possible charging and then your defense.
	Don't speak to the police yourself.
	Don't speak to the FBI yourself.
	Hire a criminal counsel and turn yourself in.
	They are going to find you.
	They're going to find everybody.
	It was an attack on the Constitution of the United States.
	It was.
	And you're likely guilty.
	There may be a couple of you who were swept along by the mob and forced just inside the building and left immediately.
	You might not be guilty.
	You might lack the requisite intent.
	But President Trump lacked the intent.
	As far as I can see, and as people have testified, and as the speech suggests, To be convicted of incitement, though people are going to impeach him today out of anger.
	Liz Cheney said he summoned the mob.
	He summoned a demonstration.

	Where it crosses the line, obviously, is when laws are broken, when property is destroyed, when violence is incited, and that's never okay.
	And we've been very clear about that.

	The most troubling kind of issue out of everything that we've seen in the last couple of days with big tech in particular is how Parler was targeted by three $1 trillion companies.
	Not only were these companies acted in a cartel manner, going after not just the distribution, but the hosting, Dr. Gorka, on the server space of Parler.
	Because we were always told, create a competitor, engage in the free market, and now we realize that you can't even create a competitor.
	If the big tech oligarchy doesn't approve of it beforehand.
	Now, you have an incredible enterprise.
	I was there for the SaaS event in Florida with thousands of young Americans in December.
	What does this mean for Turning Point USA? So I don't want to berate Parler, but the idea that you're using Amazon's cloud services is a vulnerability.
	Is your organization potentially the next one?
	They're just going to turn...
	That's right.
	Hot Mike is here.
	It's great to see him.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	This is the hour in which you set the agenda of whatever's on your mind about you, about me, about life, about death, and although I'm probably going to get a few recalls on fountain pens, classical music, audio equipment, photography equipment, and cigars, nevertheless, they do keep me sane.
	Let's enjoy the music for a moment.
	Nice stuff.
	Really good stuff.
	Okay, everybody.
	The darkest days in America since the Civil War.
	Very few of my listeners recall that era, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
	That's right.
	This should be one of the brightest times in American history.
	And to a certain extent, it was prior to the lockdowns.
	I never say COVID, I say the lockdowns.
	I want you to know that I believe, based solely on reason, I don't know of...
	Any irrational belief I hold outside of my religious life, I fully acknowledge that I have not irrational, but non-rational beliefs.
	I believe that God took the Israelites out of Egypt.
	Okay?
	I can't prove it.
	That's one of the best services religion provides.
	It enables you to hold on to the non-rational, which is a part of life.
	Love is not rational.
	Music is not rational.
	Beauty is not rational.
	But then you can be fully rational in the events of the day in your life, in the life of your society.
	The secular world has produced more irrationality than medieval religion did.
	That's the irony, isn't it not?
	I don't find it ironic.
	I find it completely predictable.
	The least rational, most hate-filled people are the well-educated.
	Now, why is that?
	Why would that be?
	The least happy, most irrational, most hate-filled, most vindictive, most mean.
	That's what you're taught.
	Our secular institutions are largely wastelands.
	They're great!
	For the sciences, they were anyway.
	They're being poisoned now too.
	But that's it.
	Alright, some opening thoughts on the arrow where you are to raise whatever you have on your mind.
	Okay, let's see.
	J.R. in Greenville, South Carolina.
	Hi, Dennis Prager.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Hi there.
	Is it J.R.? I hope you're well.
	I am.
	Okay, Dennis.
	You said be myself.
	Right.
	If you say anything with any amount of sense of how much damage these people are doing...
	Mm-hmm.
	You will automatically be attacked by the overwhelming greatness that they're doing.
	Actually, my body hurts.
	I have no words anymore.
	My future retirement is sailing down the river.
	That's right.
	So, it's crazy.
	So do you have anybody you can open up to other than me?
	Oh, you know, I have friends that have the same views as I do.
	Oh, good.
	Don't poo-poo that.
	Don't minimize that.
	That's critical.
	But I just, when you put facts in front of them, the ridiculous spending, the ridiculous of wasting your time impeaching a sitting president that does nothing.
	And had a week to go.
	Yeah, we just go on and on and on.
	This is...
	I have no words anymore.
	That's right.
	Well, I hate to say it because some people I'm not a big fan of said it, but I hear your pain.
	I really do.
	I'm in a luckier position than most of you.
	I not only can say what I think at work, I am paid to say what I think at work until they shut us down, which is very, very possible.
	I'm writing my column for next week now because my syndicator is closed on Martin Luther King Day, so I have to get it in today if I want it published on Tuesday.
	And it's about something I've spoken to you about, why the left must suppress speech.
	If the left does not suppress speech, the left fails.
	Because dissent crushes the left.
	That's why they don't debate.
	That's why they must crush us.
	If the ratio of leftists to rightists is 100 to 1, it's too much for the left.
	The 1 in 100 speaking needs to be shut down.
	Because the left rightly fears that hearing us will change minds.
	We have no fear that hearing them will change minds.
	They correctly fear that hearing us will change minds.
	That is why they do whatever they can to prevent us from speaking at a college, for example.
	We don't even think about preventing leftists from speaking at college.
	Ninety percent of the faculty is leftist anyway.
	If there's no need to bring in a leftist speaker, just go to class.
	All right, everybody.
	Let's go to Morgan in Tacoma, Washington.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	How are you?
	I'm well, thank you.
	Thank you.
	You're speaking of kindred spirits, and I feel like you and I are sort of that way in that we share the same birthday along with my husband, which is always a good reason to celebrate.
	Wait a minute.
	You and your husband have the same birthday?
	We do, and you, so you're part of our party.
	I love that.
	That's great.
	Why don't we have an August 2nd meetup somewhere in the country?
	You have no idea how much I would love that.
	Thank you.
	That's the sort of thing I love.
	When travel resumes in 2047, I think we should do that.
	There's another thing, by the way, this is a little off the topic, and then we'll get right back to you, but I also want to have a convention of all those who have PragerU license plates.
	Ooh, I want to go to that party, too, I'll be honest.
	I'm sure you, no doubt that you would like to go to that party.
	But I'm getting pictures of people from all over the country who have a PragerU license plate, and I think...
	If we get a significant enough number, we'll meet in Kansas because it's center point.
	All right, anyway, go on.
	Well, I wanted to call and let you know I've been listening to you for a long time and so much about the government schools, which I just thought was a great way to put it.
	I have an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old, and we were in the public schools here, and pre-COVID, we started to look for private schools.
	Because we just weren't happy in general at the public school and luckily we were able to get into one after COVID started and since then they have been in a private Christian school that's small and they've been in class since September which has been amazing.
	I see so many people who are just not able to handle the online and hybrid and I know I would be one of those.
	But the reason I'm calling is my daughter, who's eight, is in second grade, and she just adores her teacher and is really enjoying the Bible time.
	And she heard her teacher talk about when she was eight, she prayed to God to ask Jesus into her heart, and it was such a personal thing.
	So my daughter told me this morning that she did the same thing last night, and how her teacher told her there's a wide path in life or a narrow path, which is harder.
	But it gets you to heaven.
	And that's the path she has chosen.
	And I cannot tell you as a mom how grateful and thankful I am for this experience.
	And thank you for just shining that light on this.
	I'm a member of the Prager Prep.
	Oh, you are wonderful.
	And I heard about it on your show.
	And that's another community where I feel like there's similar value that I get hope.
	That's right.
	So thank you so much for everything you've done for mine.
	You're so welcome from the bottom of my heart.
	I'll have a comment on that upon our return.
	there is a program for teachers and parents at PragerU Prep and you should take a look at it.

	Obama didn't incite anything from Black Lives Matter.
	He didn't incite them or that shooter to do that.
	I mean, so why are you listening to idiots that bring that kind of stuff up?
	Is that a question?
	Hayes, is that a question?
	No, no, no.
	First, I'm going to respond to that, if you allow me to, please.
	Yeah.
	Lots of police officers, Hayes, felt that Barack Obama, because of his constant criticism of police officers, I don't even doubt.
	is, if you're going to make this argument about Donald Trump...
	I'm leaving a doubt.
	Let me finish, please.
	Let me finish, please.
	If you're going to make the argument that Donald Trump has created this atmosphere, then the same argument can be made about Barack Obama, but the left doesn't want to do that.
	No!
	No, I live in Dallas.
	After they looked in the background of that gentleman that killed those five brave police officers, he didn't have a bunch of postings on social media.
	He didn't have a bunch of stuff like that.
	No!
	No!
	Yes, he was.
	He was motivated, Hayes.
	Hayes, what was his motivation, Hayes?
	I don't know.
	What was it?
	The man did what he did because he was motivated by this lie that the police are engaging in racial brutality against black people.
	A lie that was pushed by Obama, that was pushed by Eric Holder, that was pushed by Loretta Lynch.
	And it caused that large police officer's organization to say that Barack Obama had created an atmosphere that encouraged people to do this.

	I was watching a certain congressman, who I won't name, a former congressman, who five or six times on television right now, he just said, I'm so surprised to see this.
	I'm so stunned to see this.
	You can be saddened to see it, like I am.
	But if you're surprised that you're seeing this, then you have done an awful job governing and legislating.
	This should not be a surprise to anyone that actually understands what is happening in this country.
	And this is beyond politics at this moment.
	This is beyond Republican and Democrat.
	This is a multi-institutional...
	Problem that is happening in America.

	We're waiting for the President of the Senate, the Vice President, to reconvene the session.
	As we promised you, we're going to be covering this live tonight.
	And we covered it all throughout the day.
	What drove those people to scale the walls of Congress today, of which I don't support?
	But why did they do that?
	The sloppy and the lazy analysis that is being given is because President Trump told them to do that.
	That's wrong.
	That's not true.
	First of all, he didn't tell them to do that.
	But that is a simpleton argument.
	They did that because they don't trust their system.
	That's why.
	I just heard Jonathan Turley on Fox News, who I think is a very smart guy, and he said, how could these people not trust their system?

	Hey, before I comment on the last call and take more, I want to remind you of a product that I actually asked the manufacturer to advertise on the show.
	It's very rare I do that.
	I had this pins and needles, numbness feeling in my feet for many years.
	It's just congenital.
	Something that helped was special inserts.
	That was about 10 years ago.
	I read about Nerve Renew.
	And began taking it, and after about nine months to a year, I realized maybe I don't need the inserts.
	And that's exactly what happened.
	I threw them away.
	No, I didn't throw them away.
	I don't use them anymore.
	I don't know where they are, but they're not thrown away, just to be precise.
	So they have helped over 300,000 people Nerve Renew get a two-week trial of their product and a one-year money-back guarantee.

	A lot of the Christians have called me to tell me that they returned to the church or to Christian faith because In some large measure because of listening to me.
	And I am very touched by that fact.
	As you all, 99% of you know I'm a committed Jew.
	But I also know that if Christianity fails in America, that's the end of the country.
	So putting aside everything theological for a moment.
	Just on purely rational grounds.
	If the Christian community goes left or just stops being Christian.
	The post-Judeo-Christian world is a disaster.
	Okay?
	Just for the record.
	Gave us communism, fascism, and Nazism.
	It's a pretty crappy record.
	And look at America.
	When America was religious, it was free.
	Now it's secular.
	And it has contempt for freedom.
	That is a fact.
	That is not an opinion.
	There is less freedom in the United States today than at any time in its history.
	Any time.
	And it is the most secular it has ever been.
	Now, you could say they're not related facts.
	They are related facts.
	The founders knew that liberty and belief in the Creator are intertwined.
	That's why the Liberty Bell As a verse from the Torah.

	Hello, Dennis.
	Pleasure to talk to you.
	I'm going to try to get this done really quick.
	Local high school, which I'm 45 years old, former Marine, long service to this country all the way back to the Revolution.
	My brother graduated there, I graduated there, and my kids graduated, and my youngest daughter goes there now.
	He sent out a letter to the National Honor Society for a Zoom meeting to ask them a series of 17 questions.
	The first question is, what is racism, and how is racism different A person calling someone a racial slur.
	What is white privilege?
	Why is All Lives Matter a common counter to Black Lives Matter?
	And what is the difference?
	How do you respond to the narrative that police brutality issues are because of a couple bad apples?
	As a student here, I'm not going to name the high school, I've encountered questions like, why do we still read about slavery?
	And what's...
	It happened so long ago.
	Does slavery and Jim Crow still have an effect on today's society?
	What is the new Jim Crow?
	And how does society dismantle such an institution?
	Martin Luther King Jr. once said that a black man's greatest stumbling block is to strive towards freedom is not the Ku Klux Klaner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than justice.
	Shallow understanding of people of goodwill.
	All right, so tell me, who sent these questions to whom?
	This was sent by teachers in the National Honor Society to students in the National Honor Society.
	They wanted to have a Zoom meeting and go over these questions.
	So what happened?
	Did it happen?
	Did it take place?
	Yes it did.
	And?
	The individual who is in the Honor Society, her father wouldn't allow her to be part of the discussion.
	He's very aggravated about it now because these questions are very pointed.
	Look, there is no...
	I can't think of an institution in the United States unless it is self-identified as conservative or Judeo-Christian that has not been taken over by the left.
	So this could have been worse.
	I mean, I didn't hear all the questions, but then you get into the white privilege stuff.
	All right.
	That was educational.
	Jerry in Sun Valley, California, Dennis Prager.
	Hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Good to talk to you.
	I hope you're enjoying this year.
	My question is, I'd like to know two quick things.
	One, could you ever have a whole three hours of Ask You Anything Hour do it like once every quarterly time of year?
	I would love to.
	I was actually thinking of introducing that one day a week, let alone one day a quarter.
	Because the success of this third hour on Fridays...
	And my desire to talk about just about everything in life, they coincide.
	So what you said is very appealing to me.
	I'm torn because, especially now, the things that are going on so need addressing directly that, you know...
	I just feel a moral obligation to discuss what's going on and help people navigate through it.
	So please know it's very tempting what you just said.
	Okay, my quick question, second question is, I'd like your opinion on a far left wing radio station called KPSK. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.
	I used to listen more than I do now.
	That's in Los Angeles, and it is far left.
	I mean, there's no difference between far left and left.
	There's a difference between left and liberal, but far left and left is an inconsequential difference.
	I can only tell you in the macro, without commenting on that station, in the macro, I remember when they started a left-wing syndicated Talk show service, Air America.
	And I said as soon as they started they will fail because there's no need for them.

	I love the idea that states get involved and why shouldn't they?
	We are a republic of states.
	Does that mean, Charlie Kirk, that we are condemned in the near to medium term to have a totally bifurcated U.S. economy along political lines?
	I think we're already there.
	I think when you have Salesforce say that they will not host the Republican National Committee, then all of a sudden those lines have been drawn.
	When you have Shopify that says that President Trump's campaign can't sell hats or t-shirts.
	When you have Spotify that says the president cannot use their platform, we're already there.
	And guess what?
	Here's the reality of it.
	When you have a company that actually cares about platform access and is really driven by normal capitalistic profit incentives up against the wokesters, we're going to win.
	In the short term, their capital flows will benefit them.
	These companies have such insane amounts of uninterrupted capital.
	They're allowed to do foolish things like this.
	But that will end up getting challenged if we do our job.
	And that's where the coalition of Republican states need to get into subsidizing and the investing of, I just call it, First Amendment infrastructure.
	I love it.
	First Amendment infrastructure.
	Let's build it.
	Let's create a campaign.
	I want to be part of it.

	You might lack the requisite intent.

	In the United Kingdom, it is Brian calling from Great Britain.
	Where do you live?

	Hello, I live in Manchester in the north of England.
	I know exactly where Manchester is because I studied for a year in Leeds.
	Oh, wonderful.
	I didn't know that.
	That's right, Louv.
	Well, it's a pleasure to talk to you, Dennis.
	I particularly appreciate your analysis of this kind of erasure of history that the left are attempting.
	They are, say, tearing down a statue of an important historical figure because they're judging I just wanted,
	if I may, to share with you an example from the United Kingdom.
	So this week, left-wing students in the Royal Astronomical Society, they have petitioned demanding that the name of one of the planets be changed they have petitioned demanding that the name of one of the planets be changed because
	So they say that the planet Mars, because it's of course named after the Roman god of war, Mars, They say they are anti-war and they are anti the dominant ability of America in waging war.
	And they want to change the name of the planet Mars.
	They want to change the letter S to a letter X. Can I look this up on the internet?
	They would like to change the planet Mars because Mars was the god of war to Marx.
	So, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mark, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune.
	You know, listen, this is the problem.
	I have to tell you, seriously, this is a problem for me.
	There is no way to know when someone is kidding or not with regards to the left.
	It is not possible to know.
	So that's why I asked you if it was verifiable.
	I announced many years ago that the ACLU was suing the American government, the federal government, about the letter T because it looks like a cross.
	And the great majority of my listeners completely believed me, and they had every reason to, because that's exactly what they would do.
	It's an infringement of the separation of church and state.
	By the way, what is your profession?
	Well, I work as a scientist and that's why it's particularly absurd to me because I've seen the distortion of our field.
	But one brief point I'd like to make is that there are some facts that are still accepted and one is that, once again, you have shit your pants live on air.
	Alright, so the interesting thing is, I'm going to check that.
	I have a feeling that he made that up.
	However, the indictment of the left is quite severe because you cannot know when they're joking.
	There's no absurdity.
	That is too absurd.
	That's the issue.
	And let's see here.
	Okay.
	Will I be touching up about the deep state, Brendan, in North Carolina?
	The deep state is back in power.
	I didn't even know.
	By the way, I fully acknowledge.
	I'm very open with you folks.
	I did not know that there was a deep state until the...
	Trump administration started to shine a light on it.
	I did not know that.
	I was a naive American believing that the top people were generally an honest bunch with all the frailties that come with being human.
	And I was wrong.

	ReliefFactor.com My first response once I heard about what was going on is that this was a planned event.
	It had to be a planned event because I had been outside with these people for two days, and they were the happiest, most joyful people.
	You had the prayer people who were there, a lot of prayer people, and then you also had what I would call the patriot people, people who were there giving speeches, you know, carrying flags and that sort of thing.
	But again...
	Not one angry speech.
	I didn't hear an angry speech, no mob mentality.
	There was nothing like that whatsoever.
	And there was actually a fairly scant presence of Capitol Police outside the building, at least on the east side.
	There just weren't that many people.
	There weren't that many Capitol Police.
	And it was surprising.
	I've been there when it's been joint sessions of Congress, when the Vice President has been there.
	You can't get anywhere near that building.
	What could be more important?
	It's crazy, right?
	What could be more important?
	You have the entire United States government gathered together in one room.
	You would think that there'd be more security there than for anything in the world.
	Exactly.
	Especially when there's a million people outside on the streets.
	None of it made sense.
	And after the event happened, every single piece of evidence that came showed me this was clearly a planned event.
	This was a planned event designed to do exactly what you're seeing day after day.
	It's identity theft.
	This was the left's victory.

	But the rioting, looting and destruction is perfectly moral, according to Nicole Hannah-Jones.
	Now, Nicole Hannah-Jones was never called to task for her quote unquote incitement or Using her freedom of speech to do that.
	And so we go back through this for a very specific reason, because what you have here is 300 to 400,000 Trump supporters that went to the Washington Monument.
	Yep.
	Hello, everybody.
	Thank you.
	Dennis Prager here with What Is On Thine Minds, my friends.
	Working on a piece for my Tuesday column.
	Working on it early because of Monday being Martin Luther King Day and my syndicator needs to get things early because they don't work that day.
	And it is answering the question, why does the left suppress?
	Why does the left have to?
	Suppress free speech.
	There's less free speech in the United States today than at any time in its history.
	We're living through the darkest age outside of the Civil War in American history.
	And it is completely induced for no good reason by the left.
	And the reason they have to suppress free speech Is that free speech means that dissent is allowed.
	Dissent destroys the left.
	That's the answer.
	DDL. Dissent destroys the left.
	They cannot withstand intellectual challenge.
	That's why they shut people down at the universities.
	It's the realm of passion versus the realm of the intellect.
	They think that they're very intellectual.
	They think they're the greatest people who have ever lived.
	They're greater than Washington and Madison and Jefferson.
	Clearly greater than Moses.
	I don't know if they would say they're greater than Jesus.
	is an interesting question.
	But Jesus, notwithstanding, they're greater than anybody who ever lived before them.
	Thank you.
	That's what we call self-esteem.
	All right, everybody.
	Let's go to, is it Michael in Colorado Springs, Colorado?
	Hello again.
	You believe that Amazon is not hosting Parler because they wish to suppress conservative thought.
	I disagree.
	I do.
	And in defense of my position, I'd like to read the first two sentences from a filing that Amazon made with the district court in defense of their big suit by Parler.
	This case is not about suppressing speech or stifling viewpoints.
	Instead, this case is about powers demonstrated unwillingness and inability to remove from the servers of Amazon Web Services content that threatens the public safety, such as by inciting and planning the rape, torture, and assassination of named public officials and private citizens.
	I read you some examples of this in the first hour.
	So it's not the case that Amazon wants to suppress conservative thought.
	Suppress death threats and those vile obscenities.
	So the vile obscenities that appear on other platforms is okay with Amazon?
	I don't know about that at all.
	All I know is what they're talking about.
	Okay, so then I've answered you.
	I have completely demolished what you said.
	Because all of the crap that is on...
	Parler has been and is on Twitter and Facebook.
	They just don't give a damn if it comes from the left.
	So if you show a severed head of the president, that's fine.
	So you believe that Amazon is constitutionally required to publish this rhetoric?
	No, it's not constitutionally required to publish anything.
	And it doesn't.
	Now let me ask you a question.
	Do you think that Google...
	Do you think that Google and Twitter and Facebook, do you think that they are animated by politics or just concerned for public safety?
	Are those mutually exclusive?
	Okay, you can answer me with a question if you like.
	No, if you think it's equal, fine.
	Okay, so in other words, your question implies that you believe that they are equally animated by public safety as by political considerations.
	Did I infer correctly?
	I do not know.
	I cannot get in the head.
	Okay, if you can't get...
	Okay, then...
	All right, so fine.
	So that's it.
	I have to say that if you do not recognize the left-wing bias of Twitter, Then conversation becomes pointless.
	They only suppress us.
	That's it.
	Just us.
	Musician goes to the Trump rally, goes back to his hotel room to take a nap, and he's now out of work.
	I reported on that.
	that it was
	it was on the Tucker Carlson last night you
	public Trump supporter and then you went to a Trump rally what happened next I went to the White House to see our president and went to the hotel took a nap and the story when did you find out that your career had been destroyed well about two days later by that point my label had written me already
	Sort of to inform me that they were getting a lot of heat.
	Okay.
	All right.
	You got it.
	That's what's happening in the United States.
	He went to the rally.
	He left before anybody even went to the Capitol.
	In the United States of America today, if you attended a Trump rally, and it is found out, you are ostracized, canceled, and sometimes fired from your work.
	This has never happened in American history.
	Do you get it?
	We don't think that way.
	We don't give a damn what rally you attend.
	It's a free country to those of us on the right.
	The left loathes freedom because freedom destroys the left.
	They have to suppress it.
	If people can actually hear other voices, the left is doomed.
	Trending now on the Earth Metaxas Show.
	And so I left the prayer chapel right off the rotunda.
	And actually it's a good thing that I left when I did because it was literally just minutes later that the agitators broke into the building and came in.
	And I'm glad that I wasn't confused with them because I was wearing normal clothes, just normal mom clothes.
	But, of course, we're being confused with them now because everyone who's pro-Trump is being accused of being a violent agitator.
	And I just want to be on the record as saying that is nonsense.
	It's worse than nonsense.
	It's an evil lie.
	And we need to keep saying that over and over because this is a truly despicable lie.
	And we have to say it over and over and remind ourselves and everyone who's listening.
	What nonsense this is.
	That a few hundred people, we don't know who they are.
	Obviously some of them were pro-Trump.
	Some of them now we know were not pro-Trump.
	They had infiltrated.
	But it's a whole madness.
	But it was a few hundred people and literally a million plus people outside there for this joyous thing.
	And they are being lumped in.
	With the agitators, and then everyone in America, about 80 million people, or much more than that, if you consider the people, the kids and stuff, who would be pro-Trump, who didn't get to vote.
	All those people are being demonized as pro-violence.
	So I'm going to have to say that every 12 minutes for the next few months.
	Go ahead.
	Sorry.
	You have to, Eric, because that's the whole nub of what happened.

	The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order.
	That means policies.
	It means a covenant.
	In our case, it means a constitution.
	As of right now, the US Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history.
	It's a remarkable document.
	All of that came to the fore in violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College.
	At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient.
	But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place.
	It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.
	We will never give up.
	We will never concede.
	It doesn't happen.
	You don't concede when there's theft involved.
	It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm, once again, our commitment to ordered liberty.
	It's the American way.

	A lot of conversation around incitements.
	There's a lot of conversation around did people...
	There's a piece in the New York Post from July.
	A Twitter spokeswoman has defended the company's decision to block and restrict tweets from President Trump, but not those of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which called for genocide of the Israeli people.
	The reason?
	Because the Iranian dictator's tweets pass as, quote, commentary on political issues of the day, while Trump's could inspire harm, quote, unquote.
	That's from Twitter.
	So you can call for the elimination, annihilation of a people, if you're the Iranian head.
	But Donald Trump's tweets, which have...
	We're in a different moral category than Khamenei.
	They're banned.
	Bad people have a lot of power in this country.
	Really bad.
	And that's the dark time in which we live.
	And I made the case you'll be a happier person if you speak out.
	Although I fully recognize that for some of you that would mean the loss of your job.
	Which is the This is a first time.
	John in Long Beach, California wants to know if any of my listeners attacked the Capitol.
	Okay, if you did, call me in.
	And let's see.

	Could America as a Christian nation learn from Israel when they turned away from God?
	Well, I made the case earlier.
	An atheist could recognize this.
	You don't have to believe in God.
	As America has become less religious, it has become less free.
	That is not an opinion.
	That is as much a fact as the sighting of the moon in the evening.
	That is the way it is, my friends.
	The founders were right.
	Liberty depends on a God who wants liberty.
	So there's a verse from the Bible on the Liberty Bell.
	Not a verse from the Enlightenment.
	A verse from the Bible.
	That's exactly correct.
	Yep.
	Alright.
	I want to thank Gary and Casey and Alan and Kirk, Paul, Robert.
	My friends, I am with you the whole way.
	This is really, this is a real crisis.
	I don't speak that way generally.
	The left is dictatorial and totalitarian.
	It has always been that way, and now you're living through it.
	Not to mention just plain mean.
	Nevertheless, Find someone who feels as you do.
	Give them a hug and make a friend.
	Thank you.
