Time Text
A good day everybody.
It is the Monday Dennis Prager Show.
Mark Davis in for Dennis from the studios of 660 AM. The answer here in proud, bustling Dallas-Fort Worth.
Dennis is out today and tomorrow.
I'm here with you today.
I think Mr. Eisler is in tomorrow.
Dennis back on Wednesday.
And we begin back for the first full day of the Biden administration.
So I'll tell you what, since I guess this is pretty well guaranteed.
We've done a lot of business together here, filling in on the Prager Show, and it's always a joy.
Since this is our last conversation together during the remaining dwindling days of the Trump era, that's probably something we can talk about as we take stock of these four years that we've all been through.
Love to hear from you.
You know the telephone number, 1-8-Prager-776.
1-8-Prager-776.
Let me give you a little thumbnail of some of the things I'm going to ask you about.
We stand here at the brink of an inauguration which is festooned with, what, 25,000 National Guard troops?
To some degree, slice the pie for me, there are two reactions to thousands upon thousands of troops taking up their positions in Washington.
May God bless every single one of those men and women in uniform.
But, here's the thing.
That is either, A, proper vigilance in view of the fact that, hey, we did just have some riots, or B, it is political theater designed to make America think, oh my God in heaven, this is what we need to protect ourselves from crazy, violent Trumpsters.
Now, I don't think that's binary.
I think it may be some of both, and I don't know exactly how I'd slice the pie.
I've often said in terms of preparedness for anything that I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
And how would you like to be the official who understaffed the troops for the inauguration and then have another riot breakout?
That would not be a good look.
But you know what?
I have zero expectation of another riot breaking out, just as I and you and everybody else Had zero expectation of a riot breaking out on January 6th.
Yet here's where we are.
We had a riot on January 6th.
So suddenly, retroactively, President Trump, who spoke that morning, he incited the riot.
Now if some idiot says that on the street, I'm prepared not to care.
But when the Congress of the United States floats an impeachment based on that?
Are you kidding me?
And sadly, I'm not kidding.
Because that's where we are.
And Senators like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, that famous now infamous photograph of Josh Hawley walking up on Capitol Hill, seeing perhaps a smattering of people there gathered to support him and Cruz and other brave Republicans who stepped in to cast some question about this tainted election.
And to perhaps oppose the acceptance of electors from some states where the Constitution had been so savaged, where the laws had been so sidelined.
That's what they were doing.
It was constitutional, through the system, thoroughly lawful, everyone free to agree with it or disagree with it as they please, but now, retroactively, since we wound up having rioting that day, Cruz and Hawley being called on to resign.
Now, all of this is stuff and nonsense.
It's sound and fury signifying nothing, as is the impeachment.
But, you know, silly me, there may be impeachments in my life, and now we may have one every few years, I don't know, that I agree with or disagree with, but this one is a stain.
It's a stain on the Constitution.
It's a stain on our history.
It is a stupid juvenile vendetta moment born of a toddler tantrum of people who hate Trump.
And it's not just Democrats.
Because ten Republicans, Liz Cheney for crying out loud, who has done much that I've admired, Fred Upton in Michigan, Adam Kinzinger in Illinois, and seven other backbenchers, decided that the only way to telegraph their revulsion about the riots is, is this where we are now?
That in order to make sure that everybody knows that you are sufficiently repelled by the riots, Is to vote for impeachment of the president.
And to invent out of whole cloth the notion that he incited them.
Which is simply factually incorrect.
It is a lie.
I am universally repelled by the riots.
I am wholly condemning those who took part.
You know what else I'm repelled by?
A tainted election.
States changing the rules in midstream, sacrificing the Constitution and proper election procedure on a phony altar of COVID urgency.
You know, that kind of repels me too.
So there's a lot to be worked up about.
But this notion that you have to be on board for falsely accusing the president of incitement.
In order to lay down some bona fides of having been sufficiently critical of the riots, good grief, is that where we are?
And sadly, we are.
Follow me on Twitter at Mark Davis.
The best show prep in the world before I do the Prager Show is I finish my own three-hour program here on 660 AM, The Answer, in DFW. And boy, we had quite the shindig this morning here on a Monday where we're anticipating Wednesday and the beginning of what I playfully, perhaps accurately, call the Harris-Biden administration.
The days of Joe Biden as this nice guy, this kind of center-left, reasonable guy, those days are over.
They are over.
He is all in with the hard left of his party, categorizing things he doesn't agree with as having an air of the third right, of adopting an agenda that is wildly left.
Get ready for it.
Here it comes.
Before we can even get to fighting the battles that we would have expected to fight over borders, COVID relief funding, abortion, Supreme Court justices, whatever may lie ahead.
Before we even get to that, we've got these rapids to navigate containing things that I've called the silencing and the smear.
The silencing is the attempt to mute conservative speech.
And the way a lot of these folks are attempting to get around the First Amendment is there was this guy on CNN over the weekend, I guess, a guy from Stanford, saying, you know, OANN, One America, Newsmax, etc., etc., the particularly pro-Trump cable networks, they have First Amendment rights, dot, dot, dot.
Oh, yeah.
But that doesn't mean that all these cable providers and all of these dish providers, that doesn't mean that they have to bring them to your house.
Well, dude, what good is someone's right to speak if the tools and the platforms with which they speak are yanked from them?
And that's the other thing that's underway, the silencing coupled with the smear.
Now, here's what the smear is.
If you dared to speak a word in opposition, To this election result, you are basically a rioter.
If you are guilty of disinformation, you're guilty of lies, you're essentially guilty of sedition, this is what they are doing.
They are coming for us.
They're coming for Trump post-presidency.
And by the way, a post-presidency impeachment is 1,000% unconstitutional.
And here's the thing.
I'd like to say I'm going to enjoy this.
I'm not because it's a trampling of the Constitution.
But there will be an upside.
There will be a silver lining.
The chance of a conviction is zero.
You're going to have 67 votes in the Senate.
67. That would mean 17 Republican turncoats.
We're going to have, I know, three.
Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey.
Surprise there.
Maybe we'll pick up a couple of other malcontents.
I don't know.
But getting to 67, impossible.
So Trump will claim complete vindication as he heads into a post-presidency.
And maybe that's another thing that I want to talk to you about today.
What is post-presidency Trump going to be like?
What will restrain him in the private sector?
Do you think he's going?
Not only is he not going anywhere, he will be...
Front of mind for everybody that loves him, everybody that hates him, and most people in between.
Do you think that a media culture that spent every day trying to hound him from office is going to suddenly, like, let it go now?
Because they still have work to do.
They still want to beat him into submission so that he doesn't think about running in 2024. They also want to beat you into submission if you're among the 75 million, at least, who voted for him.
So that you don't ever think about giving rise to somebody like that again.
Because they're still scared to death of him.
Alright, go on to the phones next.
1-8 Prager 776. Mark Davis in for Dennis.
Happy Monday.

Anybody in New York saw, did you see all the marching out of, with nothing, nothing screams social justice better than walking out with Gucci purses, you know, or, you know, Target under your arms, all the, I can't, I can't, I can't even.
Then this headline, a new study, it's like we're in the loony bin.
I swear, it feels like This is just massive trolling.
Yeah, it's the police officer's fault when people were burning down buildings.
Got it.
Got it.
Good.
Here's a new study evaluating COVID-19 responses around the world.
You'll find this interesting.
It found that mandatory lockdown orders...
Did not provide significantly more benefits to slowing the spread of the disease than any other voluntary measures such as social distancing or travel reduction.
Oh, you think?
Really?
Tell me more!
The peer-reviewed study, which was conducted by a group of Stanford researchers and published in the Wiley Online Library on January 5th, analyzed coronavirus case growth in 10 countries.
Okay.
England, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the U.S. Those are countries that implemented mandatory lockdown orders and business closures.
Compared that to South Korea and Sweden, which implemented less severe, voluntary responses.
It aimed to analyze the effect that less restrictive or more restrictive measures had on changing individual behavior, curbing the transmission of the virus.
The researchers used a mathematical model.
Under that model, the researchers determined there is no significant, clear, beneficial effect of more restrictive measures on case growth in any country.
Great.
Well, I'm glad to hear that now.
Good to know.

So many voices, many people who claim to speak for the evangelical church, they are, it seems to me, saying things that I consider totally wrong.
They're basically telling us all to shut up and to kind of go with...
The narrative that's being put out there.
And I have to say, you know, if I believed the narrative were correct, I would be saying the same thing.
But everything in me says this narrative is not correct.
There's too much that I see that is really suspicious.
The kind of thing, the way Joe Biden et alia handled themselves in the last few months, it didn't seem to me.
That they were clamoring for transparency.
It seemed to me they were trying to run out the clock and say, shut up, shut up, get people to shut up, and we're just going to win this thing, and then we'll get to shut everybody up.
That's effectively what's happening.
There is no way.
That anyone like you or me would countenance that.
We are not required to agree with each other in this country.
We have a right.
It's a mature adult thing to respect each other's opinions.
That's what we need to do.
So we need to stand strong.
We need to love God.
We need to love each other.
And I want to encourage everyone.
Resist being depressed.
Resist being discouraged.
Be joyous.

A little home invasion going on today.
Mark Davis in for Dennis from 660 AM. The answer in DFW here in the ReliefFactor.com studio's mobile version.
You know, I kind of got rolling in the first segment, and there's something that I've done.
I've done it ever since the whole COVID nightmare kicked in.
Almost, can you believe it?
Almost a year ago.
When I was yanked out of spring break on my own local show, I came back and I said, you know, this is sufficiently weird and disturbing that I might as well bring to the show something I say I do all the time, and that's prayer.
And every time I've done a Prager show, a Larry Elder show, Hugh Hewitt show, whoever else's show on the SRN that I'm glad to fill in on, I've brought that prayer to you for those of a mind to participate.
It's changed up some over the ensuing months.
There's still a COVID angle to it, but there's a lot more to think about.
So join me, if you wish, for these roughly 60 seconds, and we'll hop right to your calls.
1-8 Prager 776. But on this Monday, Lord, we thank you for this blessed nation and your hand in creating it.
Fill our hearts with the energy to protect the freedoms which come from you, which our nation was founded to protect.
Guide us to fight for our liberties within the law and by following your law.
Let us navigate these troubling times with a positive spirit, treating others as we would want to be treated.
Fill us with the energy to be smart and safe as we seek a path out of the COVID era.
Let us lift up those people whose lives and livelihoods have been sidelined by shutdowns and restrictions.
Lord, these are times of trial and challenge.
Lift us as we follow your word and work for a better America where elections are reliable.
Where our differences are hashed out with honesty and goodwill and our freedoms of speech and worship are protected.
And as we face each day's new slate of problems, Lord, give us the clarity to look around and cherish our many, many blessings in our nation, in our communities, and in our homes with our families.
If we follow you, Lord, we know we can get through anything.
And we ask these things in your holy name.
Amen.
Alrighty, 1-8 Prager-776.
Let's go to the Windy City.
We are in Chicago.
John, hi.
Mark Davison for Dennis.
Welcome.
How are you?
I'm good, sir.
Thank you very much for taking my call.
My pleasure.
It's nice to talk to you again.
Thank you.
I disagree with you, as always, but I really appreciate the chance to talk to you.
My pleasure.
Everybody who, all the insurrectionists who attack the Capitol, Believe the election was stolen from Donald Trump.
They believe that despite the fact that every single person who's in authority to assess the security of the election says that's not true.
And they heard that claim from not just Donald Trump.
They heard it from Sean Hannity and Steve Cortez and Dennis Prager and you.
So I feel strongly that all the tension...
And all of the violence in this country emanates from this central claim.
And the president could defuse all of that by simply walking into the briefing room, because he hasn't really been silent, sir.
He could walk into the briefing room and tell the nation, hey, the election, after looking at all the evidence and pursuing every legal option, I have reached a conclusion.
That Joe Biden is the legitimate winner of the election.
Except that is not his belief, and here's why.
Let me ask you some things, because you've hinged, as many, many do, on the notion of the various courtroom battles that failed, various other assertions of widespread fraud.
It didn't have to be widespread.
But here's the thing.
In various states, was the Constitution sidelined so that voting procedures could be changed?
That answer is yes.
Were there votes thus accepted that would not have ordinarily otherwise been accepted?
That answer is yes.
Was scrutiny into this process afterward blocked?
That answer is yes.
And if you put those things together, does that plant in a potentially reasonable person's mind a potential doubt that says, you know what?
This result may not be clean.
It may not be accurate.
That answer is yes.
You can agree or disagree with that assessment, but it does exist.
It exists validly.
And supportably in the minds of millions.
Can I respond?
Of course.
Okay, my response is this.
I think that what people should also ask themselves, rather than argue with everything you just said, I would ask you this, sir.
You should ask yourself.
Does anyone in authority to assess the security of election, any governor, any secretary of state, any election commissioner, the Department of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, the Supreme Court, any judge, do any of them support Donald Trump's claim the election was stolen?
The answer, sir, is no.
That's a fair point.
My reply would be that these kinds of binary, it was stolen or it was not, asking a judge to say that there are X number of votes that we know came in, all of those places that you, valid places that you list, are places that reach conclusions that are based on some rock-solid, numerical, provable, mathematic assertion of fraud times this many votes.
I don't think that was ever going to happen.
This exists in the rocky, foggy, crack Well, I guess my conclusion is that based on the fact...
That all of those people I just named, who are the ones who actually have the authority...
Didn't I just tell you, just for time, didn't I just tell you, didn't I just tell you that those were never going to be the repositories of some firm finding that the election was stolen?
We're going around the tree needlessly now.
I've described a doubt that is validly held...
Go ahead, I'm sorry.
I think your belief that those sources...
Not at all.
Not at all.
I honor...
Not at all.
Don't put...
Do not put words in my mouth.
We cannot both talk at the same time.
Can't both talk at the same time.
Don't put words in my mouth.
I respect all those people who did what they...
Judges...
Nobody went into a courtroom and said, I just proved 15,000 votes were stolen.
That was really never going to happen.
No Secretary of State.
Was able to necessarily find X number of votes.
And by the way, what Secretary of State wants to step in and say, yep, my state was crooked.
My state, you know, screwed up.
Nobody wants to do that.
The doubts are by definition nebulous, but they are also by definition valid in terms of the rules that were changed, the constitutional precepts of Election Day shelved.
Those doubts are valid, sir.
They really, really are.
And to discredit them, you can disagree with them.
But the attempt is underway to shelve them, silence them, to tell millions of people that they're making stuff up.
This is the silencing.
And I don't attribute it to this gentleman, with whom we just had a nice, honest conversation.
But this is the silencing.
This is the smear.
Because to have these beliefs, to have this doubt, they want you to pretty well be a rioter.
They want to paint you.
And by the way, that's not the only broad brush that's going on.
They are coming after the evangelicals with Christian nationalism, whatever even that is.
They're coming out.
I love this.
Southerners.
They're coming after conservatives, obviously.
And now they're coming after the troops.
Have you heard Steve Cohen, Democrat of Tennessee?
You'll hear him in a minute talking about the troops are all male.
Troops all voted for Trump.
What are you talking about?

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 death 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 born and raised in South Central.
I've been on the earth now for a few decades.
I don't recall seeing a single Klansman up and down my neighborhood in all those decades I lived there.
Maybe I just missed it.
The number of blacks gunned down in the streets by other blacks parallels our memories of the many blacks lynched in communities across the United States after Reconstruction.

How the media has been covering what tragically happened last week and kind of some new revelations that have been coming out, which is one of the main reasons why I think that the rush to impeachment, this drive-by impeachment was such a mistake because we are still getting and gathering information as this drive-by impeachment was such a mistake because we are still getting and gathering information Now, it might seem very simple.
What happened?
But do not conflate your feeling as to what happened.
With the detailed facts with what happened.
What do I mean with that?
Your feelings should be saddened, troubled, that our capital was overrun and that six people died to date.
However, there seems to be a lot of details that are now coming out that are showing that this was pre-planned.
This was not necessarily...
And if you do that, the first thing you'll notice is, "That is not Dennis Prager the first thing you'll notice is, "That is not Dennis Prager on my phone, my device, or my TV Hey, Mark Davis in for Dennis today.

Hey, speaking of devices, if you have made, among your New Year's resolutions, try to save some money here in the big 2021, let's take care of that right now.
When your family switches to pure talk, From AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile, you can save over $800 a year.
That is called real money.
Every single month, right back in your pocket.
And you don't have to sacrifice coverage.
Pure Talk is on the same network as all those other carriers, but they charge you half.
And Dennis loves it.
I've heard him talk about it.
He's a customer.
He uses it.
So just don't take our word for it.
Pure Talk is the top-rated wireless company of consumer affairs.
Right now, unlimited talk, text, and two big fat gigs of data for just $20 a month.
And if you go over on data usage, they don't charge you for it.
Grab your mobile phone, dial pound 250. Say Dennis Prager.
When you do, you'll save 50% off your first month.
Again, dial pound 250. Dennis Prager, say it into your phone.
Pure Talk is simply Smarter Wireless.
Alrighty, to the phones.
1-8 Prager 776. And we are in Pasadena.
Cecilia, Mark Davis in for Dennis.
How are you doing?
Hey, Mark.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
Good.
You're one of my favorites, by the way.
I have a question.
I think it would be really interesting to ask all of the listeners to find out if at one point the people that absolutely hated Trump and now love Trump, what made them change their mind?
And the reason why I'm saying it is because I had a sister of mine that despised him and I always loved him, and now she's on the Trump train.
Look at there.
Let's use her.
Let's put her under the microscope.
What was the cause of her change of heart?
The cause of her change of heart was, and she absolutely used to hate him.
She realized that the mainstream media was part of the problem, and she realized that it was all, the majority of the things were just lies.
There you go.
Answered your own question.
I think that's true of many.
If you show me 100 people who just had very little use for Trump at the outset, maybe didn't vote for him, maybe who didn't vote for him.
And I've taken these calls forever.
Dennis has too.
It's like, well, I didn't like them before, but I do now.
It's called they got over themselves.
They realized that whatever, you know, piddly squat objections they had were about things that didn't matter.
They realized what does matter is results, policies, agenda.
And on the things that matter, if they have a conservative DNA, listen, if somebody hated Trump in 2016 because they are liberal and they saw conservative governance coming down the pipeline, that at least makes sense.
But when conservatives said, oh, I hate Trump, Trump's terrible, I mean, what's the matter with you people?
And I guess there are two kinds of folks, folks who got over that and folks who didn't.
And now, out of the Trump term, Alas, comes to its end, at least the first one, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, we'll talk about that sub today if you want.
There's 70-some million people who voted for him.
I don't presume that every single one of them is a MAGA hat wearing, let's go to the Capitol peacefully and patriotically, that they're all of the same ilk.
But at the very least, they were willing to cast a vote for a continuation of his agenda, if not loving every tweet and every stylistic behavior that he brought to the table.
And that creates some really interesting lenses forward to 2024. Because here comes 2022 before we even know it.
And before we get to 2022, which feels like it's a couple years away, Election Day is kind of almost, do you know what's one year from now?
Just one year from now, the primaries of 2022. That's when the voters of Wyoming figure out what to do with Liz Cheney.
That's when the voters of Michigan try to figure out what's going on, what they need to do about Peter Meyer and Fred Upton.
That's when the voters of Illinois figure out what to do about Adam Kinzinger.
All of these confused malcontents, Republicans who voted for impeachment, there has to be accountability for this.
There has to be.
And I know in a country, I know I'm dreaming, in a country where our attention span is short, our memories are short, and I'll tell you what every single one of these characters is going to do.
Here in the first year of the Harris-Biden administration, they're going to do all kinds of good things.
There'll be a really unifying value to the first year of Harris-Biden.
We're all going to be sort of rowing the boat in the same direction, which is the opposite direction they're trying to do it.
And there'll be a lot of healing and a lot of moments where these folks will have voted the right way and said the right things.
We must never forget that when asked to impeach the president for something he did not do, they said yes.
That, to me, is disqualifying.
Maybe you differ.
Give me a shout.
Mark Davison for Dennis.
Mark Davison for Dennis.
He incited an insurrection.
He's arguably, at least in the 21st century, you could say Timothy McVeigh for the 20th century, but he is the domestic terrorist of the 21st century.
I'm just gonna count to ten.
I'm gonna take a deep breath.
As a person who taught Terrorism and counterterrorism studies for many a moon.
Mooch, you're a cretin.
You're actually calling the President of the United States the same as a man who killed hundreds of Americans, including children, in a kindergarten.
Blew them up.
Now, just to underline how much of a clown, a risible character that man is, we have another juxtaposed audio cut.
The moot.
Again, talking about Donald J. Trump.
Play guts.
I love the president.
I'm very, very loyal to the president.
We've won the presidency because of Donald J. Trump.
He is an unbelievable politician.
If he cared what people said about him, there's no way he would be president.
I love the president.
And I think a lot of you guys know in the media, I've been very, very loyal to him.
I've seen him in operation over the last 20 plus years.
The president has really good karma, okay?
And the world turns back to him.
I'm still on his team.
I support his agenda.
I think he's doing a great job for the country.
I love the president.
The president's phenomenal with the press, okay?
And he's a great communicator.
I love the president.
I love him.
He's phenomenal.
He's great.
He's the best thing since sliced bread.
So what does that mean, Mooji?
Does it mean you like terrorists?

Yesterday I was banned from communicating on Twitter.
And my Twitter joke, people weren't even allowed to retweet it.
So powerful.
It was.
The joke.
So powerful that the responsible voices in America said no one can retweet Eric's joke.
That is where we are.
It is lunacy.
But it's evil.
And I'm speaking with former Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann about where we are.
Well, you know, you had related to me how Twitter had taken down your joke.
And the first thing that came to my mind that I shared with you was the opening scene in the movie Cabaret with Liza Minnelli when they're in a nightclub and they have their jokes in an underground nightclub because they aren't allowed to have jokes out in public.
That's where we are today.
This is...
2021 in America and you can't have a conservative commentator give a joke anymore.
This is not okay.

We need to stand with anybody who's being shut down and canceled right now because they're starting with the politicians.
They're going to the pundits.
After that, they'll go to people in legal circles.
They'll go to people in academia.
They'll go to people.
And churches, this wave is just starting.
Remember, President Trump is still president.
And they're in the process of shutting everyone down now while he's still president.
And they're trying to be like a can opener and evict him as president and evict the whole cabinet right now.
They can't wait.
It's like they just want everything.

Alrighty, we are in West Lafayette, Indiana.
And Mike, that is you.
Welcome.
Mark Davison for Dennis.
Good Monday to you.
Hey, Mark.
Thanks for all you do.
Hi, thanks.
Hey, my comment was, you know, during the 50s in this country, we went through McCarthyism.
They used the word commie to get rid of anybody they didn't like.
I think the...
Same thing's going on right now, except the word is conservative.
The smear is underway.
If you dared to oppose the election results or dared to support those who wanted to oppose or cast aspersion on the election results, they want to put the flaming pitchfork in your hands, essentially put the fire extinguisher in your hands, beating the brains out of a cop during the riots.
It is guilt by association of the highest order.
Absolutely agree.
Except McCarthyism, is it going to be Cartesism or what?
Well, they're coming after all of us.
And thank you so much.
I appreciate it, Mike.
And that sounds like such red meat...
I don't know.
They're coming for all of us.
But I mean it.
I'm not prone to hyperbole.
Here's what I mean.
If you are conservative...
And you cast the slightest dispersion on the golden, untouchable validity and sanctity of this election result.
If you step forward, and I don't mean with any kind of Linwood, lunatic fringe nonsense.
I mean, you're saying, you know what?
In a bunch of states, the vote totals were screwy.
The Constitution dashed against the rocks.
Rules changed.
Dropboxes cast to the four winds.
You know what?
And clearly it resulted in X number of votes, and we'll never know what X is, number of votes accepted, signature verification suspended, the blanketing of states with unsolicited ballots.
This resulted in votes being accepted that would not have been accepted if the rules were followed.
That is the basis for the doubt of...
The election result.
And so there's a huge straw man campaign underway here.
And the straw man is a logical flaw in which people, you know, set you up against an argument that you're not making.
The first gentleman, I appreciate the first call today.
You know, is there some official in some state that's given us a numerical confirmation of how much further?
No, and that was never going to happen.
I think I told you on this show.
I've done the show since the election, haven't I? That this wasn't going to come from a courtroom.
There was no judge that was going to bang a gavel and go, I have hereby found, here in my black robe, the 22,534 votes were fraudulently and improperly cast in Pennsylvania, and Trump actually won Pennsylvania.
That was never going to happen.
It's a frustrating thing.
It's a foggy, nebulous kind of doubt.
It's like walking into a house full of flies.
And there are flies all over the place.
Quick, how many are there?
I don't know.
Well, then there must not be any flies.
That's probably a very clumsy analogy.
But ride with me here.
I think it kind of works.
The inability to denotatively, mathematically divine the exact number of fraudulent votes doesn't mean there were not improper votes.
And again, they say, well, where are the allegations of widespread fraud?
Where's all this widespread fraud?
It doesn't have to be widespread.
Do you know how little a sliver it took to throw this election?
You know, from just across a few states, a few thousand votes in each state, boom, Biden wins!
That's how you get there.
And so, that is the basis of the doubt, harbored by millions and millions of people.
And they do not hold that doubt ill-advisedly.
When I was doing my first talk show in life years ago in Jacksonville, every once in a while, we'd scoot on out to St. Simons Island, Georgia.
Pleasure to go there.
Jerome, Mark Davison for Dennis.
How are you, sir?
I'm well, Mark, and thank you so much for your prayer early in this show as you fill in for Dennis.
It was encouraging to hear a talk show host reach out to the Lord on the air, real time, with his audience.
A very, very impactful prayer, and thank you so much for that.
Well, you are more than kind, and not to pull the curtain back, but you're not just some guy driving around in St. Simons.
You're the guy providing the programming that helps them do so.
Are you not our proud owner there at WCGA? Yes, I am.
And on this Martin Luther King holiday, may I mention something about the Dred Scott case as it applies to today?
You surely may.
I've got about 30 seconds, so bottom line it for me.
Okay.
For people who say that the election was stolen, For the media to tell us to go away, it's like after the Dred Scott case was adjudicated, everybody gets together and tells black people to go away.
It was wrong then, and it's wrong now to tell us to go away.
That is a superb historical comparison.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you for the call, obviously, and for carrying the Prager Show and for everything you do there on the Big 1100 in WCGA territory in St. Simons.
Beautiful stretch of America out there.
God bless you and thank you so much.
Appreciate it.

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, the inviolate 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 death at all.
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.

The reality is that homicides in major cities, including Baltimore, are not race neutral.
Of the more than 300 people killed in the streets of Baltimore last year, just about all of them were African Americans.
The shooters, killers were most likely black as well.
This is a devastating plague, acutely affecting black communities across the country, writes this man.
I haven't come across the word microaggression yet.
I haven't come across the word underrepresentation yet.
Quote, We must realize, he continues, that some black people are a much greater threat to other black people than the KKK or the white citizens councils.
You know, liberals love telling you about white nationalism and how white nationalists are rising up.
I'm born and raised in South Central.
I've been...
On the earth now for a few decades, I don't recall seeing a single Klansman up and down my neighborhood in all those decades I lived there.

We are in Prescott, Arizona.
Gary, hey.
Mark Davis in for Dennis.
Good Monday to you.
Welcome.
Good morning.
Thank you, Mark, for taking the call.
I had just a couple of things here.
One, Nancy Pelosi kind of beat me to it.
I've been trying to get on radio shows, and it's hard sometimes.
I think the Democrat Party, the universities, and the major news networks, And the schools now are a clear and present danger to the United States of America for what they're brainwashing our children and what they're doing and tearing down our history and stuff.
And the other thing, question I have, is if these other states did find out or should find out that Trump actually did win...
Now what do we do?
Do we take President Biden out of there because his side cheated?
A, that won't be happening.
There will be no magical day in the future where we numerically prove a margin by which Trump actually won a state.
It's simply not going to happen.
In fact, it's largely impossible.
The doubts we have, those of us who have them, are well-placed.
It's like, well, look how the laws were broken and the Constitution shelved and there were tons of votes welcomed that had no place.
But as far as numerically proving something, not going to happen.
But as a thought experiment, because I think this was sort of where you were going, what if there were?
What if, you know, July of this coming year, all of a sudden we divine that, wow, we just proved X number of thousand that proved that enough states were won by Trump.
Is there something, you know, can you go kick Biden out and say, told you so, you scoundrel?
No, just no.
That would place in us, I would think, a little extra motivation to right the ship by replacing him with a Republican Trump or somebody else in 2024.
Now, let's, in fact, you know what?
Let's close out the hour with a little 2024 talk, shall we?
I don't know about you, I'm ready for 22 and 24. And the biggest mistake anybody could make, I mean a big mistake, is to presume that Trump is toast.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that MAGA Nation will be full, you know, all eight cylinders for an announcement in late 2023, and that all kinds of independents and moderates and all kinds of, I don't know.
But that's the key thing.
Know what you don't know.
Our national memory and our attention span is so short, and the attempt being made right now to savage him and blame him for the riots, that's not going to last into the pages of history.
So, there are a couple of possibilities.
If we win back the House in 22, which I think we're totally going to do, might even win back the Senate.
That will be flush with the delicious feel of success, and we'll be looking for that next Republican president.
And if it's not Trump himself, maybe it's a governor like Ron DeSantis in Florida, Kristi Noem in South Dakota.
Maybe it's a key congressional ally.
Maybe it's somebody we're not even talking about.
Maybe the loyalty of Pence or the family name of Don Jr. But then it'll be time to see what flavor of leadership Will we be looking for something very Trump-like or something somewhat different?
Let's talk about that and other things in the next hour.

Dr. Corey, welcome.
Thank you for your work in taking care of the COVID-afflicted.
Why is ivermectin good?
Why is it good?
Because it works.
You know, we have been searching for that medicine that could be effective, in particular in early outpatients, right?
So many things have been tried.
I think a lot of folks, even doctors, the healthcare systems, they're dejected, right?
Because a lot of medicines were purported to work.
Unfortunately, it's been very disappointing.
But the story about ivermectin, it couldn't come as a better time.
We need another tool in our toolkit to battle this pandemic.
And the data behind ivermectin is just rapidly increasing.
I mean, it's thoroughly convincing that this is going to be a highly, highly effective drug against COVID. How confident are you without double-blind trials of ivermectin's efficacy?
So we have to correct that misimpression.
There are numerous trials.
So my manuscript, which just passed through peer review, is going to be published in a pretty prominent medical journal in the next coming weeks.
I reviewed 27 controlled trials.
16 of them are randomized controlled trials.
Five of them are double-blind, and one is single-blind.
We have numerous trials from centers and countries around the world.
In the 27 trials, they include over 6,500 patients.
In the randomized controlled trials alone, over 2,500 patients.
And so we're doing what's called meta-analyses, where you combine all of the results from individual trials into a large analysis.
That is actually considered the highest and most powerful form of medical evidence.

Headline.
Homicide is a devastating plague on black communities.
And it is time we stop ignoring it.
His name is John H.U.D. It is the Dennis Prager Show for this Monday, the 18th of January.
Mark Davison for Dennis from 660 AM, the answer.
In the big Dallas Fort Worth, great to have you here.
We are sort of assessing the Trump legacy here on, I guess, the penultimate, great word, penultimate, meaning next to last, full day of the Trump presidency.
Wednesday is going to be wild.
Boy, is that an understatement.
The inauguration hour.
Joe Biden's hand on the Bible, taking the oath of office, noon-ish Eastern time.
And ordinarily, as this is no ordinary year, no ordinary election, there's going to be no ordinary inauguration.
And so generally speaking, the morning of an inauguration is kind of sleepy in terms of the coverage because, you know, the crowds are just slowly making their way to the east front, the west front of the Capitol, excuse me.
That ain't largely going to be happening.
And there's a lot of ceremonial stuff, and that's largely not going to be happening in the normal way.
What could be happening at, like, dawn is various ceremonies as President Trump leaves the White House.
The schedule now calls for him to be on Air Force One.
And please understand, Air Force One is not a plane.
It's a call sign.
Whatever plane the President's on, guess what?
Boop!
Air Force One.
Originally, and I think they sort of needed Biden's permission for this, which I believe was granted in a rare show of graciousness, that the president would be wheels up at Andrews, you know, and somewhere during that flight, they'd have to change the call sign because Biden would become president, and then the plane would land, and it would come back and be at Biden's disposal, or Kamala Harris's, hint, hint.
So all that would happen.
But now, the plan is...
For President Trump to be president when he lands in Florida.
So is that a three in a fraction hour flight?
I don't know.
So how early is that?
Well, he's up tweeting at 4.30 every morning, so I think an early alarm has never stopped him before.
But it looks like he'll be on the plane, and he wants ceremonies everywhere.
And I think they ought to happen.
Ceremony of the White House as he gets on Marine One to take that trek out into Prince George's County, Maryland to Andrews Air Force Base or Joint Base Andrews, whatever it's called now.
I grew up about three miles from there.
And then he may land in Florida.
The plan is for him to land in Florida before noon Eastern.
So that's going to be quite the...
And it's funny because this might be...
This is vintage Trump.
That on a day that is completely about the ascendancy of Biden, obviously it's about the end of the Trump years, of course, but the wall-to-wall coverage on Inauguration Day morning will be Trump's departure.
I can't help but think that was somehow planned.
Alrighty, here's what I've planned, and that's just a little bit of audio here before we hop to the sound that I crave the most, and that is your calls.
Here is, I've talked about the silencing, that is the muting of conservative speech.
It's all based on the smear.
That is the guilt by association foisted upon you, upon me, upon Dennis, upon Trump, upon Cruz, upon Hawley, upon any Republican who dared to fall anywhere short of a complete embrace of this golden, untouchable, absolutely sanctified election result.
To fall anywhere short of that essentially places you as a rioter.
In the marble halls of the Capitol.
This is the guilt by association that they are attempting.
That's the smear.
The silencing.
Consider the phraseology.
Words mean things.
There's a First Amendment issue here when government tells you there are things you can't say.
But there's no right to be on Twitter.
There really isn't.
And we can talk about whether they are monopolies and whether different laws kick in, and we can debate that all day.
We can do that today if you want to.
But is there a First Amendment right to be on Twitter?
There's not.
Is there a First Amendment right for Parler to exist?
Not really.
I know that's a tough nut to crack, but the First Amendment is about government not shutting down speech.
When various private entities do, I guess at that point, it then becomes a notion of fraud.
I don't mean actionable, prosecutable fraud.
I mean, when Twitter and this odd Unabomber-looking Jack Dorsey guy, who's the CEO of Twitter, offered it up some years back as this wonderful platform welcoming all views and facilitating debate, what an incredible, damnable lie that that was, or what a lie it has become.
So, even though we may not see the Harris-Biden administration, wink, wink, specifically shutting speech down, even though they might in terms of the fairness doctrine, we'll talk about that in a bit, the pressure now is going to be marketplace pressure, where they go to Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, and they say, you guys, you guys.
You're carrying that One America News Network.
You're carrying that Newsmax thing there.
And that's disinformation.
Those are lies that you're spreading or that you are facilitating the spread of.
This is the semantics game that they're going to play.
But let's let the actual guy tell you, at least, listen, the left does this.
They tell you what they're going to do.
And we just lie there and take it.
Thank you, sir.
May I have another?
Or maybe we don't.
This is a gentleman named Alex Stamos.
He is some guy from Stanford.
It's on the business card.
Alex Damos, some guy from Stanford.
Anyway, he has some level of, air quotes, expertise.
Here he is on CNN's curiously titled Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter.
And here he is talking about shutting down conservative speech.
And second, we have to turn down the capability of these conservative influencers.
We have to turn down the capability of these conservative influencers?
Excuse me, what in the world does that mean?
...these huge audiences.
There are people on YouTube, for example, that have a larger audience than daytime CNN. Well, that may be true for a number of reasons.
They are extremely radical and pushing extremely radical views.
So they're radical.
They're radical.
Well, see, that's the crazy thing about the First Amendment.
It's to protect radical speech.
Now, not radical speech that says, hey, let's go burn a building, which no one did, or hey, let's go break into the Capitol, which no one did, but radical in terms of ideas that are out there and provocative and might make some people angry.
That's what the First Amendment is for!
That's what it's for.
Safe speech requires no protection.
You know, sanguine, lazy, Casper milquetoast speech that offends no one, that's not the stuff that requires protection.
So when I'm fighting for this, when I'm talking about the ridiculousness of the incitement lie, the lie that Trump incited the riots, I'm not doing that just to protect him, protect the reputations of the people who lawfully attended that rally.
Sure, that's part of it, because they're being smeared.
But I'm looking out for everybody that when some speaker comes at you from the left saying things that I totally disagree with, saying things that make me really angry, that if somebody hears what that speaker says and commits a crime, that it's not the speaker's fault unless the speaker said, let's go commit a crime.
Let's go shoot at congressmen.
Let's go burn a building.
Let's go put a brick through somebody's house.
Short of that, it's just speech.
It's words.
Now, this fellow, this Mr. Stamos, these folks are cagey.
They're wily.
They are going to pressure the living daylights out of Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, DirecTV, whoever.
DirecTV is part of AT&T now, I guess.
And they're going to go after them so that they will make marketplace decisions like what Simon& Schuster did with Josh Hawley's book.
Oh, but wait, there's a news development about that.
Because the minute that happened to Josh Hawley, with his wonderful book called The Tyranny of Big Tech, it's not even about election stuff.
It's about the tyranny of big tech.
You think that's timely now?
And Simon& Schuster caved like weasels and said, we're not going to put out a Josh Hawley book.
First thing I thought of is, I know a publishing house that ought to do it.
The people who saw fit to crank out two books from me.
And various others.
The good people of Regnery.
And today is announced that the chief guy, Tom Spence, longtime friend of mine, at Regnery has announced the signing of Josh Hawley and the release of his book, The Tyranny of Big Tech, from Regnery.
So it's going to happen.
Now this is the marketplace.
Did Josh Hawley have a First Amendment right for Simon& Schuster to issue his book?
No.
Did Simon& Schuster have the right to pull the plug on that?
Yeah, they pretty well did.
And so it's a marketplace decision, but Simon& Schuster are still weasels.
Any provider, any platform that decides we're just not going to carry Newsmax or OANN or whatever, or even Fox, even with their various vicissitudes, anybody that makes that decision based on the mob, They're gutless and they're spineless, and they can be counted on at times to be gutless and spineless.
Anyway, here's the rest of Mr. Stamos.
It's up to the Facebooks and YouTubes in particular to think about whether or not they want to be effectively cable networks for disinformation.
Cable networks.
So there you go.
There's the D word.
Disinformation.
To disagree with state-approved speech, the new ruling class, is disinformation.
Mark Davison for Dennis.
Your call's next.
Stick around.
Turning now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
How the media has been covering what tragically happened last week and kind of some new revelations that have been coming out, which is one of the main reasons why I think that the rush to impeachment, this drive-by impeachment, which is one of the main reasons why I think that the rush to impeachment, this drive-by impeachment, was such a mistake because we are still getting and Now, it might seem very simple.
What happened?
But do not conflate your feeling as to what happened with the detailed facts with what happened.
What do I mean with that?
Your feeling should be saddened, troubled, that our capital was overrun, and that six people died to date.
However, there seems to be a lot of details that are now coming out that are showing that this Was pre-planned.
This was not necessarily just an extension of people that went to the President's speech at the Washington Monument.
But first, I want to lead with this story.
And I'm going to tell you how we're going to be covering this story, the story of what happened at the Capitol from this point forward.
There's not an election coming up anytime soon.
Anyone trying to score political points at this moment?
I think is doing a disservice to their listeners and their viewers.
And so we are now hearing repeated calls from the media that everything on the Capitol was right-wing inspired.
That's not necessarily true.

Here's a new study evaluating COVID-19 responses around the world.
You'll find this interesting.
It found that mandatory lockdown orders did not provide significantly more benefits to slowing the spread of the disease than any other voluntary measures such as social distancing or travel reduction.
Oh, you think?
Really?
Tell me more.
The peer-reviewed study.
Which was conducted by a group of Stanford researchers and published in the Wiley Online Library on January 5th, analyzed coronavirus case growth in 10 countries.
Okay?
England, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the U.S. Those are countries that implemented mandatory lockdown orders and business closures, compared that to South Korea and Sweden, which implemented less severe.
Voluntary responses.
It aimed to analyze the effect that less restrictive or more restrictive measures had on changing individual behavior curbing the transmission of the virus.
The researchers used a mathematical model.
Under that model, the researchers determined there is no significant, clear, beneficial effect of more restrictive measures on case growth in any country.
Great.
Well, I'm glad to hear that now.
Good to know.

So, many voices, many people who claim to speak for the evangelical church.
It's the Dennis Prager Show for a Monday.
18th of January, Mark Davison for Dennis today from 660 AM, the answer in DFW. And you know, talking about 2021 already being off to a bit of a disturbing start for conservatives, Twitter unilaterally shutting down the Trump account, Parler booted from the App Store, big tech muzzling free speech at rates few could have predicted.
Well, I'll tell you somebody who did see it coming.
A gentleman named Brett Weinstein.
Who appears in the incredible Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla film, No Safe Spaces.
Here is Brett Weinstein issued this warning about political correctness running amok.
Apparatus of government journalism, maybe most seriously into the tech sector, which has become the governance apparatus for the new public square.
YouTube and Google, Facebook and Twitter dictate whose voices can be heard.
And if those entities start trying to engineer the conversation to adhere to the rules laid out with these phony Trojan horse terms, disaster will be the result.
That is Brett Weinstein, and if this resonates with you, you've got to go see No Safe Spaces today for a preview of all these politically correct dangers that lurk.
Easy for you and your family to see this very important film at SalemNow.com.

We're in Springfield, Illinois.
James, Mark Davison for Dennis.
How are you, sir?
Happy Monday.
I'm good.
I've got a question for you, and I just want to make sure I understand where you're coming from.
You know, you don't like it when people are demonized or suffer professionally because of their political beliefs, you know, like Josh Hawley losing his book deal, right?
Correct.
Okay.
What about Colin Kaepernick?
Because everybody in your business demonized him, and he suffered professionally, right?
Yes, he did.
Colin Kaepernick insulted an entire nation.
Colin Kaepernick engaged in behavior.
In your opinion.
No, no, exactly right.
But here's the thing.
In fact, to go apples and apples with you, did Colin Kaepernick have the right to do that?
Yes.
If his employer approved of it, he absolutely did.
And my whole issue with Colin Kaepernick has never been about whether he had the right to.
Of course he does.
Is it right to?
I just want to understand.
You think it's good and appropriate that he suffered for his beliefs professionally, right?
Correct.
Because those beliefs were antithetical.
No, no, no.
You're talking about...
It is possible for people to approve of a consequence for somebody and not approve of another.
Let's go case by case.
Why was...
Why did Colin Kaepernick become poison?
What's your answer?
Why did he?
Because he...
He protested what he considers racism.
Wrong.
Because he could have done that outside the stadium, could have done it in a blog, could have done it.
He chose to insult the flag of the United States as his method of protest.
That's your opinion, sir.
He chose to protest during the anthem in a manner that was repulsive to millions.
Now, why was Josh Hawley bounced by Simon& Schuster?
Actually, can I correct you on that?
No, you may not.
No, you may not.
Why was Josh Hawley bounced by Simon& Schuster?
Why was Josh Hawley bounced by Simon& Schuster?
You'd have to ask Simon& Schuster.
What's your suspicion?
What is your suspicion?
I mean, I've got mine.
What's yours?
I think that they probably felt that his efforts to promote the idea that the election was stolen have been damaging to this country.
Okay.
Okay, well, that's your opinion, if we're going to talk about opinions.
But so because of Simon and Schuster's...
It's an opinion you're entitled to!
Exactly right!
It's an opinion you are entitled to!
So Simon and Schuster...
Thank you so much!
So Simon and Schuster, so Simon and Schuster, because Josh Hawley took a stand that they found repellent...
Not because he had done anything, you know, objectively incendiary, like fouling the national anthem by kneeling during it.
They just didn't like him.
And guess what?
It's their house, their rules.
Your opinion is just that Colin Kaepernick is a terrible person, so he deserves what he's got.
Not at all.
Colin Kaepernick engaged...
You can still feel that way about Josh Hawley because you like Josh Hawley.
I support Josh Hawley, you're right.
And the way I have consistency...
Is that the way I have consistency is Josh Hawley does not have a right to expect that Simon and Schuster carry his book.
There's no First Amendment right there.
Simon and Schuster may do whatever they wish.
They may do whatever they wish.
It is that simple.
To me, you just sound like another guy with an opinion who has no problem being hypocritical.
No, but I've proven there's no hypocrisy.
The difference between us.
In fact, let's take it bit by bit.
Take Colin Kaepernicka aside.
Let's do Josh Hawley.
I'm guessing you had zero use for Josh Hawley and his challenge of the electoral result.
Do you believe that he deserved to lose his book deal because of that?
You know what?
I think that Simon& Schuster had every right...
That wasn't my question.
That wasn't my question.
I'm actually asking you for your opinion.
Do you believe Simon& Schuster behaved fairly, rationally, reasonably, In canceling his book deal because of his position on the election.
Yeah, I probably would have done the same thing, and I also wouldn't have fired Colin Kaepernick for protesting.
So that means that's the difference between you and me.
But that doesn't mean we have to view these things the same way.
Because I believe that it was a principled thing with no negatives.
That Josh Hawley did.
I believe that Colin Kaepernick had a principle.
Colin Kaepernick had a principle, no doubt.
It was racism and policing and all of that.
And there are a million ways that he could have made that clear without showing disrespect to the nation in the process, which you know he did.
You know it.
Okay, but you just want your position to be principled and everyone else...
Not at all!
I'm agreeing with one and disagreeing with another.
That's all.
It really ultimately, as you sort of said a couple minutes ago...
It's all about opinions.
You love Colin Kaepernick, and you don't like Josh Hawley, so, you know, there we are, and that's okay.
That's all right.
Yeah, so you think one instance is right and one instance is wrong?
Exactly!
Are you crazy?
Well, listen, then why aren't you?
Because you don't like Josh Hawley, and you do like Colin Kaepernick.
So, I think I could take the same thing and give it right back.
Back to you.
I'm rubber, you're glue.
Come on, man!
You think it was perfectly okay for Josh Hawley to lose this book deal, but it was terrible.
The Earth spun out of its orbit because Colin Kaepernick was bounced for disrespecting the flag.
Can I tell you the real difference?
Surely.
Can I tell you the real functional difference between you and me?
Please.
The real functional difference between me and you, sir, is that I'm not on the radio many hours a week telling people what to think.
But what if you were?
Oh, listen, if I had that much power, you know, flippin' Biden wouldn't be president.
If we all had that much power, Wednesday would look a damn sight different than it's going to.
And by the way, if there's a show out there, and there you are saying Josh Hawley deserved to get his book deal bounced, and there you are saying Colin Kaepernick is a hero for disrespecting the flag, even though I'm sure you wouldn't.
Phrase it that way.
I would fight to the death for your right to hold those views.
And now here's the thing.
If an employer, and I'm guessing a station that would hire you, would want those views, would want a liberal show, I will fight.
I will fight.
And it's funny, when I talk about fighting for the rights of liberal shows, I mean, to exist.
The marketplace can do with every show what it wishes.
A radio station can do with its staff anything it wishes.
Putting some voices on the air and not others.
And then listeners, here's where you have the ultimate power, listeners can listen to the shows they wish and avoid the ones they don't wish to consume.
That's the definition of the marketplace.
Appreciate your call, sir.
Thank you.

I hadn't either, and I'm as disgusted as you are, sir.
But you seem like to defend Trump.
Did I defend the looters, the rioters, sir?
They do.
You're nothing but a spin doctor, Mr. Elder.
A spin doctor.
At least he called me Mr. It's like Fox News.
I've been called worse.
Always spin something when Trump does something stupid.
You know, I got 35 black and a few Latino people, and we listen to your show.
You should hear the things that they call you.
So you have a nice day, and you stay on your side of the fence, Mr. Elder, because we know...
Isn't that segregation?
Isn't that discrimination?
Isn't that Jim Crow?
I gotta stay on my side of the fence?
Isn't that what MLK was talking about, and he wrote that letter?
It's buttered on, and it's usually the lighter side of the bread.
Have a good day.
Bread is buttered on the whiter side of the bread.

I can't even believe I'm going to say these words.
Do you know who she's blaming and who she's suing over the violence and clashes and riots in New York after George Floyd's death?
She's suing the NYPD. She's suing them.
I'm not kidding you.
You think I'm pulling your leg?
Here's the New York Post editorial.
Yesterday, State Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the NYPD for supposedly excessive force and false arrests during the Black Lives Matter protests slash riots this summer.
The suit alleges that the NYPD and its top brass have failed to address a longstanding pattern of abuse.
There's no question, the lawsuit says, that the NYPD engaged in a pattern of excessive, brutal, and unlawful force in suppressing overwhelmingly peaceful protesters.
Overwhelmingly, she said.
Overwhelmingly.
Now, the New York Post points out Letitia James evidently has an early bedtime because as darkness fell, these protests became Overwhelmingly unpeaceful very quickly.
Activists ignored curfews, yelled, spat, pushed cops, windows were smashed, stores looted.
New York City became a boarded-up wasteland.
Especially in the wake of the Capitol riot, it's the liberal narrative that everything over the summer was overwhelmingly peaceful, conveniently ignoring the attacks on federal buildings, the squatting in streets, looting, and deaths.
Deaths.

We're in Michigan.
Matthew, Mark Davis in for Dennis.
Happy Monday to you.
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Hi.
Can you hear me?
I sure can.
Okay.
Yeah, I think the Supreme Court messed up here.
Half the country believes that this election was fraudulent.
They did not take the case.
If they would have taken the case, we would have some settlement.
Right now, we're just upset.
This is one of the most important points anybody's made today.
We all look for individual states, individual courtrooms to magically find X number of fraudulent votes.
That was never going to happen.
The so-called Texas Challenge from my state of Texas, joined by I believe 18 other states, went to the Supreme Court to simply say, let us make the case.
That the Constitution was shelved, laws were changed improperly, state legislatures had end runs around them as state officials, state judges, and governors made up stuff, and the Supreme Court absolutely, gutlessly dropped the ball on that.
I think they're afraid of the mob.
That's what it is.
So I wanted to mention something else.
I figured something out in the Declaration of Independence.
I flipped the code upside down, and I got all the evil on one side, all the good is on the other side, except for the daredevils.
Boy, things were going so well.
Sometimes we'd take the exit ramp 30 seconds earlier.
I don't know what that was.
But I'll tell you what.

But I'll tell you, on Thursday after Biden is sworn, you know, I said, listen, if Biden's not sworn, call in and gloat.
Call in and gloat.
But I'll tell you what, if that's not the case, then it's really, really time to police in your own life the things you read, the heroes you choose, and the stuff you consume.

And I have to say, you know, if I believed the narrative were correct, I would be saying the same thing.
But everything in me says this narrative is not correct.
There's too much that I see that is really suspicious.
Joe Biden et alia handled themselves in the last few months.
It didn't seem to me...
That they were clamoring for transparency.
It seemed to me they were trying to run out the clock and say, shut up, shut up, get people to shut up, and we're just going to win this thing, and then we'll get to shut everybody up.

It is the Monday, January 18th, Dennis Prager Show.
Mark Davison for Dennis.
Glad you are here.
Let us dive back to your calls.
And in fact, let us go back to the gentleman who I got 30 seconds in with and said, let's not have the commercial break interrupt you before you even got started.
That is in California.
And John, that is you.
Fresh couple of minutes there, man.
Take the ball and run with it.
I appreciate it, Mark.
Sure.
So what I was indicating was, you know, as conservatives, we come to Dennis Prager's radio show.
We come to listen to you, Mark Davis, for conservative national news.
And I tried to call Dennis on this before.
I never picked up the call, but that's okay.
I love Dennis.
Anyways, during news breaks, some national, some local in L.A., we get to hear that...
The Congressional Black Caucus is angry because they didn't replace Kamala Harris with an African-American, another African-American woman.
I quote, another African-American woman.
Well, as you and I both know, she's not an African-American woman.
And I mean, and we get to hear things like violence, you know, violence, more violence at a Trump rally, more violence at a Trump rally.
No, no context, no context that, you know, BLM rioters coming in there.
You know, because if you've ever, and I'm sure you have been to a Trump rally, they are glorious, friendly, loving people.
Even in COVID times, we are loving, hugging each other.
I mean, it's just, so I just, we can't, my point to the guy before, we can't escape.
You know that as conservatives, we can't escape this.
Even when we go to Dennis Prager, we can escape it.
Well, let me back up a little bit, because a large thing that you mentioned there in terms of the way certain types of unrest are characterized, I mean, you're certainly right.
In the dominant media culture, there seems to be approval of some types of rioting, decided disapproval of others.
Okay, I don't know.
I mean, that seems to be a function of the...
Of the leftist media culture.
To deal with the small thing, real quickly, as far as whether Kamala Harris is quote-unquote African-American, technically no, she is not a descendant of American slaves, you're right.
But I think that usage experts will observe that African-American has largely become a synonym for black.
She certainly was born in the United States, her Jamaican portion of her ancestry.
Why are the folks in Jamaica black?
The slave trade.
So it's not like it is such an egregious thing and not probably worth a lot of time to obsess about.
But to what extent, if I'm right, do you believe that conservative media have not properly distinguished between some of the rioting thumbs-ups and rioting thumbs-downs?
No, my point is that you're not getting conservative media on your commercial breaks.
We're getting national news.
I'm not even sure who it is.
It'll vary from station to station.
Yeah, it varies from station.
Even the local guy here will quote stuff that just is like that Dennis Pup probably disproved yesterday.
I would take that up with individual stations, because they are always glad to hear from you as well.
As am I, and I appreciate it very, very much.
1-8 Prager-776, and we are next in...
St. Petersburg.
Let's go to Pinellas County.
Lee, hey, Mark Davis, welcome.
You are in.
I am in for Dennis.
You are here.
You're in for you.
So, hi.
Nice to have you.
Thank you.
Nice to be on your show.
Thank you.
I know everybody's been calling in.
You know, Trump will be president or not.
He is.
And I'll tell you why.
Oh, sweet Jesus.
The highest law that we have.
Is the Constitution.
It cannot be suspended.
It cannot be overwritten.
Yep.
And if people would research the 14th Amendment.
Okay, just leave.
I love old people.
30 seconds.
Bottom line it for me.
Okay.
How is Trump sworn in on Wednesday, darling?
Okay.
14th Amendment, Section 3. Nobody that is involved in fraudulent can be sworn in.
It doesn't say that in any way, shape, or form.
Yes, it does.
No, it does not.
It talks about people who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion.
This is actually the part of the 14th Amendment people are trying to use to get rid of Cruz and Hawley.
That's ridiculous, too.
But the notion that it's just not there.
It's just not there.
I just want to be a big mental health professional for everybody.
I'm hurting along with everyone.
Don't compound your pain.
With lunacy?
Cleanse your life.
Just take your head out of Lin Wood's butt.
Stop it.
Life is hard enough.
It's going to be challenging enough.
And listen, in fact, it's a burden to walk around for the Harris-Biden administration, for however long it lasts, and say, wow, not only did we lose, but it looks like we didn't lose cleanly.
So let's take that energy, and rather than engage in bat-crap fantasies, let's take that energy and focus it in some ways that are helpful.
Let's unite to take back the House in 22. Heck, let's get greedy and take back the Senate in 22. And then right after that election, you know the 2024 presidential race is going to take shape pretty well immediately.
If Trump gives off the slightest vibe that he's going to run, that'll freeze out probably 12 people, maybe more.
But if he doesn't, and in fact, let me share this with you, my gut right now, somewhat less than 50% that he actually runs.
And it will not be because his name remains stained from this ignominious end of his presidency.
Not at all.
We're never going to forget the Capitol riots, but we will forget the insanity, even with the impeachment included in it.
It will have washed back into the tapestry that Trump was somehow responsible for it and blah, blah, blah.
It'll be on face value.
Do you want Trump or not?
And will he want to run?
Or not.
I think he's going to be enjoying the private sector way too much.
I think he'll have the chance to be a kingmaker and queenmaker.
He's going to be on TV all the time.
The people who love him and the people who hate him, he will be on TV all the time.
And I think the notion of trying to be president again between the ages of 78 and 82, we will have just finished with somebody who tried to do that.

Mark Davison for Dennis Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show Congresswoman Liz Cheney from the state of Wyoming has come out and said that she supports impeachment
There are five or six other Republicans as well.
Republicans are running for cover and they're running for cover quickly.
Mostly because a lot of them see a political opportunity right now.
So Isabel, can you help build that out how some Republicans are...
Ultimately, I think we're seeing a really clear schism in the Republican Party right now between individuals who are answering to their constituents, who maybe are upset about the results of this last election, are rightfully concerned with some pretty credible allegations of voter fraud that were never followed up on in a court of law or by our Congress of the United States, and then individuals who are trying to appease the establishment Republican Party, trying to keep good favor in the United States Congress.
Obviously, we know that things accomplished in Andy Biggs has called for the removal of Liz Cheney as head of the Republican Conference Chair,
as has Jim Jordan.
And we're starting to see there's kind of this schism happening.
Let's go to cut 71. I've called for her resignation.
I don't think she should be the chair of the Republican conference anymore.
The reality is she's not representing the conference.
And so what was really bothered me throughout this entire event, post what happened tragically last Wednesday, is you're starting to see who really supported President Donald Trump and his ideas and who just said they supported his agenda and his ideas. is you're starting to see who really supported President Donald Keep up with what's trending and subscribe on YouTube today.

I was working six days a week, unlimited overtime, when Jimmy Carter was president.
Got laid off for a year and a half when Ronald Reagan came in.
I wonder why.
And then another thing about this election and everything.
Every time I look on television, all I see is the rebel flag, a bunch of white people.
This guy's still bringing Reagan after all this.
What, 40 years ago?
Damn.
Running around tearing up the Capitol, which I've never seen in my 61 years on this.
I hadn't either, and I'm as disgusted as you are, sir.
But you seem like to defend Trump.
Did I defend the looters, the rioters, sir?
They do.
You're nothing but a spin doctor, Mr. Elder.
A spin doctor.
At least he called me Mr. It's like Fox News.
I've been called worse.
Always spin something when Trump does something stupid.
You know, I got 35 black and a few Latino people, and we listen to your show.
You should hear the things that they call you.
Yeah, there's a place you can go.
It's the Dennis Prager Show, even when the guest host guys are here.
Mark Davis, in from 660 AM, the answer here in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Okay, so, the big question for those of us who all is pent-up frustration, pent-up dissatisfaction, the pent-up doubts of how this election worked out.
Just keep the fire alive.
Maintain the determination to make this right in the following way.
In the midterm elections of 22, take back the House and give the Harris-Biden administration a Republican Senate to deal with, too.
There's step one.
And then, it's time for us to go to work together.
I'll still be here, doing my regular show here at 660 AM, The Answer in Dallas-Fort Worth, filling in for Dennis, whenever they call, and various other shows as well.
And I gotta tell you, after the 22 elections, especially if we take back the Senate and the House, but however that goes, instant speculation.
We'll bust out all over about the 2024 presidential race.
By then, we should have some idea whether Trump himself wants to do this.
I've got a just under 50% feeling that he probably will not.
And that means, so let's say that he doesn't.
Then, all of us who are Republicans, all of us who are conservatives, will have some decisions to make.
And evaluating a bunch of, boy, you talk about a wide open field, what do we have, 17?
We'll have 17 for starters, probably.
They'll fall into a few groups.
They will be the candidates who will seek to take the baton directly from Trump, and if not being exactly like him behaviorally, at least be exactly like him in terms of policies and agenda.
And that could be governors like Ron DeSantis in Florida, Kristi Noem in South Dakota.
It could be some of Trump's staunchest congressional allies.
It could be his son, Don Jr. It could be Pence.
I don't know.
We'll all find out.
Sort of layer here, slicing the pie differently.
And that's people who, they like the Trump agenda, but they approach things with a really different flavor stylistically.
And then the third layer is going to be sort of a Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Trump-hating wing, the John Kasich wing.
They're going to be out there, too.
And I think they'll be stomped into obscurity as they have every time they've reared their heads.
But, hey, I don't know.
It's a free country.
They get to run as well.
Maybe one of these ten malcontents that we're going to bounce from public office in the primaries of 2022. You know, maybe Liz Cheney will say, hey, I'm back.
And, you know, whatever.
But it's a free country.
And it'll be a wide-open primary.
And we'll see what the flavor of leadership is.
So on what will those decisions be made?
A lot of it will involve the battle against the Harris-Biden administration.
And that is, will we have been successful?
Will there be people who have particularly, who will have comported themselves with particular heroism?
Will others have stumbled?
So it's a question you can only really ask in a couple of years.
But man, I'm filled with anticipation, and I don't know about you, but I'm ready.

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.

How the media has been covering what tragically happened last week and kind of some new revelations that have been coming out, which is one of the main reasons why I think that the rush to impeachment, this drive-by impeachment which is one of the main reasons why I think that the rush to impeachment, this drive-by impeachment was such a mistake because we are still getting and Now, it might seem very simple.
What happened?
But do not conflate your feeling as to what happened with the detailed facts with what happened.
What do I mean with that?
Your feelings should be saddened, troubled, that our capital was overrun, and that six people died to date.
However, there seems to be a lot of details that are now coming out that are showing that this was pre-planned.
This was not necessarily just an extension of people that went to the president's speech at the Washington Monument.
But first, I want to lead with this story.
And I'm going to tell you how we're going to be covering this story, the story of what happened at the Capitol from this point forward.
There's not an election coming up anytime soon.
Anyone trying to score political points at this moment?
I think is doing a disservice to their listeners and their viewers.
And so we are now hearing repeated calls from the media that everything on the Capitol was right-wing inspired.
That's not necessarily true.

Here's a new study evaluating COVID-19 responses around the world.
You'll find this interesting.
It found that mandatory lockdown orders did not provide significantly more benefits to slowing the spread of the disease than any other voluntary measures such as social distancing or travel reduction.
Oh, you think?
Really?
Tell me more.
The peer-reviewed study.
Which was conducted by a group of Stanford researchers and published in the Wiley Online Library on January 5th, analyzed coronavirus case growth in 10 countries.
Okay?
England, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the U.S. Those are countries that implemented mandatory lockdown orders and business closures, compared that to South Korea and Sweden, which implemented less severe.
Voluntary responses.
It aimed to analyze the effect that less restrictive or more restrictive measures had on changing individual behavior curbing the transmission of the virus.
The researchers used a mathematical model.
Under that model the researchers determined there is no significant, clear, beneficial effect of more restrictive measures on case growth in any country.
Great.

Welcome, everybody.
Hour number three.
Mark Davis in for Dennis.
Dennis will be back on Wednesday.
Mark Eisler in tomorrow.
So, gosh, so Dennis gets to come back on the...
Oh, my gosh.
How's that for timing on a show that begins roughly as...
It'll be the last hour of the Trump presidency.
Or so one might believe.
Let me just start out with a word for some of y'all.
I just love y'all so very, very much.
And I've tried today to provide some valuable and free counseling that if it just is burning a hole in you, not only that Trump lost, but lost crooked, if you just really are harboring that belief that this election was simply not properly discerned, You are 100% entitled to that belief.
Don't let anyone tell you it's disinformation.
Don't let anyone tell you it's lies.
Don't let anyone tell you you're a conspiracy theorist.
It was never anything that was going to be measurable in court.
Never.
That was never going to happen.
And I said that to people and they got upset with me.
I said, what needs to happen is that the doubts about this election...
Which are not quantifiable in terms of, well, we got 25,000 votes in a Pennsylvania or a Michigan or an Arizona.
That was never going to happen.
We were never going to prove some denotative number of actual fraudulent votes.
Our best case has always been the rules that were broken, the constitutional precepts that were shattered, sacrificed on the phony altar of COVID urgency.
So we've got ballot...
Festooned out across the land, unsolicited, no signature match.
Rules just changed in midstream.
Voter ID sacrificed old voter rules, roles filled with people who aren't eligible anymore.
Get rid of these sloppy drop boxes, ballot harvesting, flooding the states with unsolicited blank ballots, because that does two things.
Number one, it tells you where the doubts come from.
If you run across someone who says, you know what, I just don't think this election yielded the right result.
And somebody says, oh yeah, prove it!
And that's what all these folks are going to do.
In fact, there's a gentleman here.
You know what, hey, let's do this with this gentleman.
We're in Gardner, Massachusetts.
Steve, Mark Davison for Dennis, this is what you're up against, correct?
I am.
I try to argue with some liberals and they say, where's the documentation?
It would help me if I could get the court decision saying that The judge or the court says these are wrong.
And I'd like to see the petition from the Trump lawyers just to argue because you are right.
You're not going to ever decide how many votes.
Exactly right.
So a lot of these folks know what they're doing.
Maybe some of them don't.
So approach them with goodwill and phrase it as I have today and say as following.
The flaws in this election were never going to be of a type that could be proven mathematically in a way that a judge might want.
Something that a lawyer could assert that a particular number of votes should not have been counted and we know what that number is and we know that if they've been counted properly that Trump The complaint that always held the most water was the constitutional complaint that many,
many states, Pennsylvania chief among them, but others in concert, changed the rules in an improper and unconstitutional way, doing an end run around the only people that can change election law, and that is state legislatures.
No governors, no secretaries of state, no state Courts can change election law in midstream.
The Constitution was savaged in this regard.
Countless votes were accepted that should not have been and countless Literally, countless, meaning they can't actually technically be counted.
That gives us a severe doubt that the right result was arrived at, and that's why the best path for this was always the Texas challenge.
Texas and about 18 other states went to the Supreme Court and said, let us make that argument.
And the Supreme Court went with spines of jelly, knees went weak, and they punted.
That was the only place that would have made sense.
Except that what about the state courts, exactly your argument, saying that constitutionally the state legislature had these rules and people changed in the electoral, you know, election boards, etc.
I don't see any documentation from the courts saying that, hey, we're not going to consider this.
I'm not sure what that last sentence meant.
Meaning that the judge or the court rejected the argument from the Trump Well, that's not the argument they made.
The Trump lawyers, and God love them, they all went into these various courts and they all got hung up on voting machines and all of this stuff that was never going to yield fruit, even if they had a point.
And I believe they did.
But what they had to have in a state court, let's say you and I are state judges.
I'm in Arizona, you're in Pennsylvania, whatever.
And let's say, God forbid, we're actually trying to be objective about things.
What I've got to have in order to slap down a gavel and...
What invalidates an election result is you've got to show me something.
You've got to prove something to me.
And it's not the kind of thing that was ever going to be mathematically proven.
Now, in the Supreme Court of the United States, could attorneys, and this is the one that Ted Cruz offered to argue, that would have been good.
Could they have proven the ways in which various rules were shelved, various constitutional precepts were simply suspended?
They absolutely could have.
So could the Supreme Court have then said, all right, you guys have made your point, and we're not going to say that Trump won Pennsylvania or Trump won, you know, et cetera, et cetera, because we don't know that.
But the point that you've made is that the electors who are tasked with acting on what the voters said in their respective states do not, in fact, have a reliable indicator of what The voters said.
That would have armed various states with the ability to have electors show up and not just make stuff up and give Pennsylvania to Trump or even give Arizona to Trump, but to show up and say, you know what?
We got nothing.
It's terrible, but we cannot in good conscience give our electoral votes to Biden when we do not reliably know that he won.
That means Biden doesn't get to 270. Trump doesn't get to 270. And it goes to the House of Representatives.
Where, by the way, Trump would have won.
That, by the way, is the only scenario.
The only one.
And that's a whole lot of ifs.
That's a whole lot of chains in the link there.
To get to Trump being sworn in day after tomorrow.
That not having happened, here come the Harris-Biden years.
And the job for those of us who, you know, are still living here on the planet Earth, To coalesce and unite as many conservatives as we can to fight the Harris-Biden agenda on the way toward victories in 2022 that removed Nancy Pelosi from the Speaker's office the way she's supposed to be by an election and maybe win back the Senate as well,
giving the Harris-Biden people Republican backstops in the House and Senate, keeping our powder dry.
Starting the process of finding whom we wish to be our standard bearer in 2024. Fight hard.
Fight smart.
And win by enough that if it ain't close, they can't cheat, as a Hugh Hewitt book once said.
It's like playing on the road with crooked refs.
You've got to play hard enough and vote hard enough to win by 10 so that you can win by 1. Now, what about the election?
A lot of people will then say, well, but can I ever trust an election again as long as I live?
I totally understand that kind of dispirited distress.
But here's what we do.
Between now and then, you shore up voter ID in every state.
You make sure you've got signature verification in every state.
You clean up these old voter rolls and purge these people who are dead or not living in the state anymore.
You get rid of these sloppy drop boxes and ballot harvesting and flooding all the states with unsolicited blank ballots.
No gutting of state election laws.
Real access for poll watchers.
Real openness to challenges.
You make sure that those are on the books before the election even happens.
And that's how you clean up a system that desperately, desperately needs it.
I've got about 60 seconds for the break, correct?

I can't even believe I'm going to say these words.
Do you know who she's blaming and who she's suing over the violence and clashes and riots in New York after George Floyd's death?
She's suing the NYPD. She's suing them.
I'm not kidding you.
You think I'm pulling your leg?
Here's the New York Post editorial.
Yesterday, State Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the NYPD for supposedly excessive force and false arrests during the Black Lives Matter protests slash riots this summer.
The suit alleges that the NYPD and its top brass have failed to address a longstanding pattern of abuse.
There's no question, the lawsuit says, that the NYPD engaged in a pattern of excessive, brutal, and unlawful force in suppressing overwhelmingly peaceful protesters.
Overwhelmingly.
Overwhelmingly, she said.
Overwhelmingly.
Now, the New York Post points out, Letitia James evidently has an early bedtime because as darkness fell, these protests became overwhelmingly unpeaceful very quickly.
Activists ignored curfews, yelled, spat, pushed cops, windows were smashed, stores looted, New York City became a boarded-up wasteland.
Especially in the wake of the Capitol, right?

And we better be ready, and we better not waste our time with lunacy and take ourselves down ridiculous rabbit holes.
We need all hands on deck.
And by the way, that doesn't mean that we're all going to agree.
Please, we're Republicans.
We're disagreeing about stuff all the time.
It's part of the adventure and maybe part of our charm.
But I tell you what, conservatives need to coalesce, and we need to do a number of things, and chief among them, we've got to take a look at these malcontents, these troublemakers.
These ten members of the House who voted for impeachment, goodbye.
Goodbye.
No mulligans.
No second chances there.
Here come the primaries one year from now.
There needs to be long memories and lessons delivered.
Now, not every member of Congress is going to be as conservative as I am or as conservative as Trump is.
Let's understand that.
If a district yields a sort of center-right, almost squishy centrist, if that's what those voters want, I'll take an R over a D any time.
But when people betray the voters as these ten Republicans did, there's got to be some accountability there.
There's got to be.
Got to be.
All right.
1-8 Prager 776. And we are in Clifton, New Jersey.
Bob, hey, Mark Davis, welcome.
How are you?
In for Dennis.
Good Monday to you.
I'm doing good.
Happy War here.
Mark Davis, you are really something.
Thank you for...
Doing all of that counseling for the people that are hurting us.
You're very kind.
No charge.
I'm a very realistic businessman.
My business has crossed paths with Donald Trump.
I signed the front of a check.
I also managed to get a couple of licenses to practice law in a few states.
I'd just like to look to the future.
In the future, for me, it's a suggestion.
I wanted to hear your comments.
Two years from now, well, for a year or so, you know, I think Donald Trump needs to get his forces together.
I am familiar with the man's psychology, and he's a real fighter.
And I really think that he is going to be coming back.
And, you know, not only in mass media, but I would think that...
One path, and this is what I wanted you to comment on, if you could.
In 2022, starting about a year from now, to cherry-pick a nice house seat in Florida and run on some of the things that you just said.
Oh, good lord.
And have Trump run for that seat?
Have Trump himself run for a house seat?
First of all, Trump is the most famous politician in recent world history.
His need to run for a house seat in Florida is zero.
But it doesn't mean you're not on to something.
Trump will be on TV all the time.
He's buying up space rent-free in the people who hate him, and he will be everywhere, and if he wants to run, he'll still have all the name recognition, all the platforms, all the visibility, so he doesn't need to engage in the drudgery of running for a house seat.
He'll be with us in private life every day.
And if he wants to do it, he'll do it.
And don't anybody discount that possibility.
As I've already said today, as of right now, and listen, he may give off signals, there may be things that, I mean, I don't know, it depends.
I think it kind of depends on who offers up.
I think there are people who might get with President Trump in early 2023, if not before, and say, Mr. President, I won't reveal what you tell me, but I'm really thinking of running, and I'm not going to do it if you do.
And he might, on the sly, tell them that he's not going to in order to free up a Ron DeSantis.
A Kristi Noem.
A Mike Pence.
A Don Jr. I mean, who knows?
Anything's possible.
So I think the reason I put it in as a slightly below 50% chance that he runs is that I think he's going to be enjoying the private sector way too much.
And the notion of, you know, coming back into this gig to take him from, you know, age 78 to age 82 is like, you know...
I can be a very big...
And I don't mean been there, done that.
Because that would indeed be the comeback of the century.
Grover Cleveland did it.
He was president in the 1880s.
Lost to Benjamin Harrison.
Came back and beat him in the 1890s.
It'd be a repeat of that.
I will tell you, I don't think he would do it if he didn't really concretely believe that he could win.
Of course, he might always believe that he could win.
In 2016, a lot of people didn't think he could win.
I thought it was always possible.
This time out, there's so many variables, so many things.
Got to see how that Harris-Biden administration is going.
See who else might have...
Because I'll tell you what, if you do get a Ron DeSantis, a Kristi Noem, a...
I mean, I don't know.
All kinds of folks.
Really just bold, unapologetic conservatives.
There may be some people who say...
Who might be thinking, man, I loved Trump.
I loved those Trump years.
But, you know...
Maybe those kind of policies and even that kind of boldness in the form of somebody else might be a way to go.
Listen, we'll be doing shows together after the 2022 midterms, and we'll discuss those things concretely at that time.
All right, we are in L.A. Ann, hi.
Mark Davis in for Dennis.
Welcome.
How are you doing?
I'm well.
How are you, Mark?
Thank you so much for taking my call.
My pleasure.
Good.
You know, before your last, just before the 11 o'clock break, or your last break, you were talking about how, you know, it was great.
It sounded so rational how they're going to fix the system and, you know...
It's hard.
It'll be hard.
Right.
Well, that's my question is, you know, we're rational, but why would they do that if it's working to their advantage?
I mean, who is it, you know, that is going to clean that up?
I mean, I don't...
I just don't trust the system, so to speak, whereby, like, Dennis speaks of the moral lie, so to speak, where people, you know, if they think that we're such bad people, then why would they fix it to put us back in there?
No, that's a good question.
The answer is, with any other political questions, you've just got to outnumber them.
We have to make the point.
And we have to find ways to do the kinds of things at the state level that I've talked about.
Voter ID, signature verification, cleaning up those old voter rolls, getting rid of those sloppy drop boxes, etc., etc.
Now, I know that'll be hard to do in a California, because they love it.
It'll be hard to do it in New York.
It'll be hard to do it in an Illinois, because the Democrat power structure loves this.
Loves this.
Yeah.
So that is a little...
Go ahead, I'm sorry.
No, that's okay.
I was just going to say, as much as they dislike, hate Trump, and now we're all under that blanket of everything, all the deplorables and such, I just wonder if we're outnumbered.
Because they're more rational, and they're more vocal, and they're more out there.
They aren't the moment.
And here's a thing that I cling to.
I don't know if Biden got as many votes as he's being credited for.
I think I've talked about that.
But how did he get this many at all, no matter what he might have gotten, is because the Democrat Party was so riled up against Trump.
The change was real.
They freaked out.
They recoiled at the change that Trump brought.
If we show a mirror image of that, if we show our revulsion and our determination, we can have the pendulum swing back our way in 2022 and 4. I believe that.
Mark Davison for Dennis.
Be right 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.

Homicide is a devastating plague on black communities.
And it is time we stop ignoring it.

Quote.
The reality is that homicides in major cities including Baltimore are not race neutral.
Of the more than 300 people killed in the streets of Baltimore last year, just about all of them were African Americans.
The shooters, killers, were most likely black as well.
This is a devastating plague acutely affecting black communities across the country, writes this man.
I haven't come across the word microaggression yet.
I haven't come across the word underrepresentation yet.
Quote, We must realize, he continues, that some black people are a much greater threat to other black people than the KKK or the white citizens' councils.
You know, liberals love telling you about white nationalism and how white nationalists are rising up.
I'm born and raised in South Central.
I've been...
On the earth now for a few decades, I don't recall seeing a single Klansman up and down my neighborhood in all those decades I lived there.
Maybe I just missed it.
The number of blacks gunned down in the streets by other blacks parallels our memories of the many blacks lynched in communities across the United States after Reconstruction.
This is a devastating plague, acutely affecting black communities across the country.

How the media has been covering what tragically happened last week and kind of some new revelations that have been coming out, which is one of the main reasons why I think that the rush to impeachment, this drive-by impeachment was such a mistake because we are still getting and gathering information as this drive-by impeachment was such a mistake because we are still getting and gathering information Now, it might seem very simple.
What happened?
But do not conflate your feeling as to what happened with the detailed facts with what happened.
What do I mean with that?
Your feeling should be saddened, troubled, that our capital was overrun, and that six people died to date.
However, there seems to be a lot of details that are now coming out that are showing that this was pre-planned.
This was not necessarily just an extension of people.
Keep your nose clean.
Well, let's take that literally, because Navaj is the world's only nose cleaner with powered suction.
We're all worried about what we're breathing, Lord knows, especially lately, and its potential impact on our health, dust, bacteria, pollen, pollution.
Protecting yourself from these airborne invaders requires keeping the inside of your nose clean, just like washing your hands.
To protect yourself from what you touch, Navaj cleans your nose, cleanses it to clear out the junk trapped in your sinuses.
Thanks to Navaj, I've heard dentists talk about this.
Folks are breathing more clearly, sleeping better, feeling healthier than ever.
Use it every day.

All righty, great to have y'all here.
We are in Hazlitt, Texas.
Roger, hey!
Mark Davis, in for Dennis, welcome.
Happy Monday to you.
Oh, happy Monday to you, I guess.
I'm not really that happy, but, you know, thank you.
I understand.
I understand.
Well, I just wanted to do a newsflash for you.
America, as you and I have known it, is over.
Over.
People who say in two years we're going to take back Congress, I laugh when I hear it.
I'm crying.
Why?
Because within two years, the Democrats are going to make all illegal aliens in America citizens who can vote.
They're going to make Puerto Rico a state with more congressman Democrat voters and two senators.
And that's what's going to happen.
Many, okay, Puerto Rico, okay, first of all, unconstitutional to make D.C. a state.
Might they try with Puerto Rico?
They might.
And you got a good point there.
That's to get two Democrat senators.
As far as, you know, throwing the borders open, our borders are not going to be what they've been under Trump, no doubt about that.
But the likelihood of a sufficient flood of illegals suddenly made voting eligible within two years?
Nah, probably not.
Well, you know, the Supreme Court's going to stop them?
Which Supreme Court?
Well, no, that's a good question.
And in fact, listen, all of this cynicism is well-placed.
Absolutely.
And look, I'm not going to sit here and say, hey, don't worry about anything.
We've got a ton to worry about.
We've got a full plate.
Of things to worry about.
Not the least of which is the silencing of our views as we even try to take a place in the arena to argue about these things that we're going to be fighting the Harris-Biden administration and a Democrat Senate and a Democrat House.
But I'll tell you something.
You know what it takes?
It takes strength.
It takes focus.
It takes determination.
It takes prayer.
Let's dive in and have all hands on deck rather than throwing those hands up in the air and saying, you know, we're screwed forever.
We're in South Carolina.
Bob, hey, Mark Davison for Dennis, how are you?
I'm good.
I got a question for you, and I hope you'll let me explain it first.
You know, just a few years ago, the Republican Party, just like five years ago, the Republican Party was defined by the Tea Party, and everything the Tea Party was about, you know, they wanted to reduce the debt and the deficit, and they're all about family values and free trade.
And balancing the budget, and of course, Trump doesn't represent any of those things.
Well, careful.
A lot of things.
Stop.
Pause.
Fiscally, you've got a point.
The Tea Party was all about all kinds of debt, and etc., etc., etc.
The Tea Party was for lower taxes, and he's for that.
Tea Party was for obeying the Constitution, the Supreme Court.
He's for that.
So, just proceed.
Okay, but I mean, you certainly can't say Trump represents family values, and the party...
I'm sorry, excuse me?
In what way does...
No, stop.
In what way does he not?
Well, I don't know about you, but I heard the recording of him boasting about adultery...
Okay, wow, wow.
I'm sorry.
So on a policy matter, just to be clear, on a policy matter...
Which is what family values are about, the policies you bring, the things you advocate, your agenda as president, you're taking me back to the Billy Bush bus tapes?
Really?
I'm just saying I don't think he personally represents family values.
Bob, then let me simplify something for you.
The path someone has walked behaviorally is not what a presidency is about.
In Jimmy Carter, we had an evangelical Christian married once, and he was one of the worst presidents of my life.
So, let's get some clarity on that, and give me a buzz any time when I'm here.
Alright, it is Dennis Prager Show.

I can't even believe I'm gonna say these words.
Do you know who she's blaming and who she's suing over the violence and clashes and riots in New York after George Floyd's death?
She's suing the NYPD. She's suing them.
I'm not kidding you.
You think I'm pulling your leg?
Here's the New York Post editorial.
Yesterday, State Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the NYPD for supposedly excessive force and false arrests during the Black Lives Matter protests slash riots this summer.
The suit alleges that the NYPD and its top brass have failed to address a long-standing pattern of abuse.
There's no question, the lawsuit says, that the NYPD engaged in a pattern of excessive, brutal, and unlawful force in suppressing...
Overwhelmingly peaceful protesters.
Overwhelmingly, she said.
Overwhelmingly.
Now, the New York Post points out, Letitia James evidently has an early bedtime because as darkness fell, these protests became overwhelmingly unpeaceful very quickly.
Activists ignored curfews, yelled, spat, pushed cops, windows were smashed, stores looted, New York City became a boarded-up wasteland.
Especially in the wake of the Capitol, right?
It's the liberal narrative that everything over the summer was overwhelmingly peaceful, conveniently ignoring the attacks on federal buildings, the squatting in streets, looting, and deaths.
Deaths.

Dr. Corey, welcome.
Thank you for your work in taking care of the COVID afflicted.
Why is ivermectin good?
Why is it good?
Because it works.
You know, we have been searching for that medicine that could be effective, in particular in early outpatients, right?
So many things have been tried.
I think a lot of folks even...
Doctors, the healthcare systems, they're dejected, right?
Because a lot of medicines were purported to work.
Unfortunately, it's been very disappointing.
But the story about ivermectin is it couldn't come as a better time.
We need another tool in our toolkit to battle this pandemic.
And the data behind ivermectin is just rapidly increasing.
I mean, it's thoroughly convincing that this is going to be a highly, highly effective drug against COVID.
How confident are you without double-blind trials of ivermectin's efficacy?
So, we have to correct that misimpression.
There are numerous trials.
So my manuscript, which just passed through peer review, is going to be published in a pretty prominent medical journal in the next coming weeks.
I reviewed 27 controlled trials.
16 of them are randomized controlled trials.
Five of them are double-blind and one is single-blind.
We have numerous trials from centers and countries around the world.
In the 27 trials, they include over 6,500 patients.
In the randomized controlled trials alone, over 2,500 patients.
And so we're doing what's called meta-analyses, where you combine all of the results from individual trials into a large analysis.
That is actually considered the highest and most powerful form of medical evidence.

Let's make of them what we will.
Listen, there's a piece of audio I've wanted to get to for like an hour.
Let me do it real quickly.
Because you know the hate is pouring in to you as a conservative, to you as an evangelical, to you as a southerner, as a Texas guy.
Let me tell you, I've heard a bunch of people say, I'll tell you what.
Those people who are at that, you know, a lot of them look where they were from.
They were from your Texas, your Alabama, your Georgia.
That's a natural extension of the geography, apparently, is to be a rioter.
Would you believe that there's somebody in Congress who also believes that the military should be savaged?
Never let a good riot go to waste.
These National Guardsmen, all these folks, and listen, I'm the guy who told you that to some extent, If they want to put some extra troops in D.C., we did have riots.
I get it.
But 25 flipping thousand of them?
That strikes me as political theater designed to make Washington look like a city that is locked down like a war zone against those evil Trumpsters.
But anyway, no matter what you think of that deployment, certainly nothing against the wonderful men and women of the National Guard who are doing their duty as they've been assigned to do it.
What if I told you there was a member of Congress Holding out the possibility that one of those guardsmen might be an evil Trumpster and, like, try to shoot Biden or something, or cause some kind of trouble.
Surely they're not that crazy.
Surely they're not that cruel.
Well, surely you've never heard of Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee.
This morning I was reading about this on my Twitter account, I guess, and people were reminding the people of Ammar Sadat and Deir Gandhi who were killed by their own people.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Democrat Steve Cohen of Tennessee.
Oh, he's not done.
You know, I was thinking the Guard is 90-some-odd percent, I believe, male.
About 20% of white males voted for Biden.
You've got to figure that in the Guard, which is predominantly more conservative, and I see that on my social media and we know it, they're probably not more than 25% of the people.
That they're protecting us who voted for Biden.
The other 75% are in the class that would be the large class of folks who might want to do something.
What?
So only 25% of the folks...
Listen, if somebody wants to say how many of these National Guardsmen probably voted for Biden, I don't know, 25%?
Maybe, okay.
And to Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee, who knows no concept of shame, the other 75% are what?
Are they Trump voters?
Are they possibly conservatives?
Maybe they didn't vote at all.
I don't know.
They are of the type that might want to...
For military people who voted for Biden, the other 75% are in the class that would be the large class of folks who might want to do something.
Who might want to do something.
Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee with a maligning and savagery of the troops.
You know, I tell you, Democrats are the new ruling class.
I guess it just goes to show, even when you're on top, nothing is beneath you.
About another 40 seconds of this.
There were military people and police who took oaths to defend the Constitution and to protect and defend who didn't do it, who were in the insurrection.
So it does concern me, but the vetting at the last minute...
To have voted for Trump does not make you an insider.
Oh my, it's Jim Sciutto of CNN actually saying something sensible.
Circle this day in the calendar.
That's far different from being a threat.
of violence inside the National Guard or law enforcement.
I'm curious, is there anything you've seen to substantiate just how broad this insider threat may be?
Thank you, Jim.
If it exists.
Absolutely not, Jim.
Absolutely not, Jim.
But that's not going to keep me from slandering and maligning the motives of the National Guard.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
We're in Cleveland.
Henry.
Hey, Mark Davison for Dennis.
How are you doing?
How are you, Mark?
I'm good.
Let me say I thank you for saying a prayer every day for your show.
Thanks.
Appreciate it.
That sets the tone.
I think one of my problems is that, I don't know how to say it, but for some reason, the media, I felt, always portrayed Trump in a very bad light.
You got that right.
Photography, a photograph of him.
You know, with the hat, the MAGA hat and all that kind of stuff.
They never portrayed him or the orange man.
I remember being an African-American.
I remember when they would not allow people to make characters of Obama, his ears or whatever.
And so I think they were complicit in doing that and not being newsmen or newswomen.
All right.
So far, so good.
It betrayed him in a negative light, and just as you were saying earlier, just not getting his message across.
They would not allow him to get his message across.
So we've established that, so where do we want to go?
So what do we do with that?
The media are going to hate any conservative forever, so what do we do about it?
Show them his accomplishments, and pray on that.
Show him the difference at any next step of the thing of progress.
Obviously, try to get the counties or the state legislatures right and do the groundwork there, but also allow people to show his accomplishments.
No doubt.
That's what a lot of...
You know, there are people, and it's easy to do a post-mortem and take a look back at 2016, or 2020 rather, just this one, just this past election, and say, you know, if only, if only, if only.
You know, if it had been focused more on the things that President Trump had done, that even a lot of people who didn't vote for him the first time really liked.
The expansion of the party where more women and people of color voted for them.
Why was that?
We're expanding the base of the party.
That's kind of a perfect world scenario in a vacuum.
But as it is, as it is, we had the whole COVID nonsense that laid the groundwork for a whole lot of rules to be broken.
And everything just got thrown against the wall.
Norms were violated left, right, up and down.
And don't take anything away from this.
The change was real.
It was so real, and the left got so motivated that in some number or another, they did show up.
They did show up because they knew the change was real.
Our job is to keep that change going, and we've got a lot of time to think about that.
Mark Davis, Infordentist, right back.

Did I defend the looters, the rioters, sir?
They do.

At least he called me a mister.

So you have a nice day, and you stay on your side of the fence, Mr. Elder, because we know...

Isn't that discrimination?
Isn't that Jim Crow?

A lot of people think I'm just screwing this up or I'm dyslexic or something.
My references to the Harris-Biden administration are a...
A wink and a nudge toward those who think that even though he's president, she's really running the show, or her wing of the party, and the possibility that, and listen, all I want is for Joe Biden to live a long, happy, prosperous, pleasant, healthy life, ideally in a way that doesn't involve screwing up my country, so I guess that does get him to the end of his term.
But, you know, you just never know.
You just never know.
And I always wish people the very best personally.

Iran nuclear deal.
Paris climate accords.

First of all, With the gentleman from Cleveland, I feel Cleveland's pain.
I got no dog in the hunt.
We got our own problems.
I'm in Cowboys country, please.
We got our own problems.
I dream of being in the playoffs and feeling the pain of losing a game.
Got to get there first.
That would have been a heck of a comeback.
But Chad Henney was Mahomes' backup and got the job done sufficiently so the Chiefs get out of there.
So you got the Chiefs and the Bills and the AFC. And what used to be called the Bay of Pigs game, when both bays were terrible, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, obviously no longer the case.
That infernal Tom Brady.
Will we never be done with him?
He'll go up and visit Aaron Rodgers, see how that goes this coming weekend.
But a career might have drawn a curtain yesterday.
The great Drew Brees, from Purdue to, where was he?
He was Chargers for a while, right?
And then the Saints.
He might have played his last game, but what an amazing athlete, an amazing guy, and an amazing NFL career.
So God bless Drew Brees whenever he decides to do.

Let its spirit of conservatism and boldness and speaking truth, let it live on in us.
Let it live on in the kind of conservatism that we practice.
If there were some behavioral things in the occasional tweet that were not your favorite thing in the Trump years, that's alright.
We've got time to regroup and see what we want to do in 22, and especially in 24. But we've got some very bad ideas to fight that are coming our way.
We've got people who want to silence us, so we need to unite as best we can in that regard as well.
So, toward that end, I look forward to joining you for the rest of this year and the years to follow.
