	Thank you.
	And I have an echo there, Sean, which proves the old adage that one hears oneself better without an which proves the old adage that one hears oneself better without It's a famous old phrase from the 17th century.
	My friends, it is Friday, ergo we will have, of course, the Happiness Hour next hour.
	And in the meantime, there's a lot to tell you about.
	Listen to this.
	Abigail Schreier, whom...
	We have had on the show a number of times, this is a very, very important book out, about this phenomenon that nobody would have ever imagined, literally imagined, people writing science fiction or futurology books would not have imagined,
	that there would be this outburst of teenage girls who say that they are boys, and to the extent that they begin taking Male hormones block blocking their own hormones and in some cases even having their breasts surgically removed.
	Why any physician, why any surgeon would remove a healthy girl's, teenage girl's breasts is a question that demands to be answered.
	I feel that I am a boy.
	I am 15. I am 16. I'd like you to surgically remove my breasts.
	And he does it.
	In any event, Abigail Schreier tweeted, On day one, Biden unilaterally eviscerates women's sports.
	Any educational institution that receives federal funding Must admit biologically male athletes to women's teams, women's scholarships, etc.
	A new glass ceiling was just placed over girls.
	So that is what she tweeted.
	And what I find particularly interesting...
	Are the responses.
	I just want to read to you from the White House.
	Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.
	By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution, it's in very light print.
	And laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows.
	And it's a very long, relatively long, I'm not going to read it to you.
	It's the first thing he did day one as his president.
	What is very much an insight into what has happened to Americans' minds, especially young Americans, I want to read to you the Reactions to her tweet.
	To Abigail Schreier's tweet.
	Tony Squirrel.
	This is the first one.
	I am sure they said the same thing when they ended segregation and started letting black guys compete on running teams, too.
	Congratulations, Abigail.
	You are on the wrong side of history.
	So this is Abigail.
	This is Tony Squirrel replying to her.
	He's got 212 likes here, which is a lot for a squirrel.
	Very good point.
	So here is the thinking.
	The thinking is that this is what our colleges produce.
	I have no doubt he went to college.
	If you discriminate That is inherently evil.
	So, there is no questioning about what is the context, who is it happening to, why is it happening.
	So, not having biological men on women's sports teams is the same as not having blacks integrate into sports.
	How do you answer this to the millions who believe this tweet, who believe the contents of this tweet?
	You answer it with what to me is so obvious.
	There is no difference between a black human and a white human.
	There are major differences between a biological male And if a biological male can compete on women's teams against women, then there is no argument for maintaining male and female teams.
	Why are there men's and women's sports?
	Mr. Squirrel would say, why are there men's and women's sports to begin with?
	If he acknowledges that there is a need for men's teams to be separate from women's teams, then what he said makes no sense.
	This has nothing to do with racial integration.
	This is sexual integration.
	If you prefer, in the new woke term, it is gender integration.
	But they would say, no, it's not gender, because gender is fluid.
	Okay?
	But teams are not divided in sports by gender.
	They are divided by sex.
	Okay?
	Next.
	Kimchi frozen soup bag toe knife.
	I'm giving you my word.
	That is the...
	It sounds like something I would have made up.
	Is that a long Twitter handle?
	Is that the term?
	It sounds like a grocery list.
	It does.
	It sounds like a grocery list.
	Name one sport where a trans athlete has excelled beyond the female counterpart.
	Okay, watch our video at PragerU.
	There's a 16-year-old high school girl who will tell you.
	Do you know that...
	The bulk of the track records, high school track records in the state of Connecticut are in fact held by trans females.
	It's biological males.
	Okay.
	Next, Deacon Frost.
	He writes, this argument only, capital O-N-L-Y, makes sense if you believe Quote-unquote, biological men.
	That's fascinating.
	That he puts biological men in quotation marks as if they don't really exist.
	Are somehow superior to women and that biological women, quote-unquote, are unable to outperform them.
	Another person who undoubtedly learned not to think in college.
	This argument only makes sense if you believe biological men are somehow superior to women and that biological women are unable to outperform them.
	Well, once again, if biological men are not athletically superior, then why do we have separate teams?
	Why is there men's tennis and women's tennis?
	Why is there men's basketball and women's basketball?
	And so on and so forth, right?
	This is what the colleges and high schools of our society are producing.
	Forgetting their values, the inability to think straight.
	Now, here's one intelligent one.
	Truly, I'm not being cute.
	Gareth Smith.
	The natural progression is just to get rid of men's and women's and just have one say.
	Just have one, say at Wimbledon or 100 meters, horse racing has the right idea, where jockeys of both sexes compete on a level playing field.
	That's obviously the natural progression.
	That is exactly right.
	All right, let's see now.
	Sherry Gordon.
	Catholics have children that are transgender too.
	I don't quite see how that fits, but nevertheless.
	Now here's a very important one.
	Milena.
	Replying to Abigail Schreier.
	Milena's picture is a Black Lives Matter logo.
	I'm a biological female, 15 years old, and I don't give a...
	and then the S word.
	So she has been...
	Imagine that.
	She's 15, has a Black Lives Matter logo as her picture, and she doesn't give an S about biological males competing against biological females.
	This is truly an education to read these reactions on Twitter.
	Now, do you understand why I don't think you should send your kid?
	To a regular school, if possible.
	We'll be back, 1-8 Prager 776. One would think the Democrats would be a little bit happy.
	But as Tucker Carlson pointed out last night, Winning elections or winning the election of 2020 seems to make them angrier.
	Instead of taking victory laps, they are plotting revenge against the people they just beat.
	They're thinking of new ways to injure and humiliate and degrade their political opponents, make it impossible for them to work again, throw them in jail, destroy their lives.
	It's hard to describe how weird and strange and awful this is to watch.
	Imagine winning a tennis match in straight sets, then immediately leaping over the net and smashing your opponent in the face with your racket.
	It wasn't enough for you to win.
	You had to inflict physical pain.
	You couldn't be happy until another human being screamed in agony.
	It is really peculiar to see the lack of, I don't know, even relief from the Democrats.
	Here's what Glenn Reynolds wrote at the New York Post.
	The Democrats voted to impeach Trump again when they impeached him almost exactly a year ago, just in time to distract the White House, Congress, and the nation from the looming coronavirus pandemic.
	The grounds were, to say the least, thin.
	It was notable the Democrats didn't even bring up impeachment at their convention, and it stayed below the radar during the presidential campaign.
	After allegedly being a matter of earth-shattering importance, It was like it never happened.
	But now they've impeached him a week before he was scheduled to leave office anyway.
	This time the claim was even thinner, that a speech in which Trump called for peaceful protest was somehow incitement of events on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, some of which apparently took place before the speech was delivered.
	When Democrats spent a year promoting and excusing violent riots against police, we were told that it was mostly peaceful protest.
	Even when police stations and state capitals were seized and when rioters tried to burn down federal courthouses.
	When Trump called for peaceful protest, we're told he was advocating violence.

	This is not a partisan issue.
	This extends from Team Biden to Team Trump.
	They are all unified that China is committing genocide.
	Therefore, I don't know how Silicon Valley doesn't take notice of this, Mike.
	It's like turning their eyes away from the Auschwitz.
	It's there.
	They know it's there.
	They've got to do something with their platforms.
	Yeah, and I think particularly just given the way in which Silicon Valley likes to lecture the rest of the world on doing no evil and their morality, I think this is the obvious thing that is staring them in the face.
	And again, I just go back to this issue, and former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster had a great op-ed in the Washington Post today about how much of Trump's legacy, particularly as it pertains to China, there is for the Biden team.
	To build off of.
	And so much of the work that I've done on the Armed Services Committee has been bipartisan work, and so I just really would urge Biden's national security team not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
	You know, I really hope in the confirmation process, members of Congress, particularly in the Senate, because we don't play in the confirmation process in the House, except with Austin, where we'll have to change the underlying law to grant him a waiver because he's a recently retired general.
	I really hope we use this opportunity to press the incoming Biden administration on the China issue because it is the most important issue.
	It's not just a foreign policy issue.
	It is a domestic.
	As we started this conversation, it has dramatic implications for our domestic economy.
	The biggest lesson learned of the pandemic, beyond the fact that people need to work, is the fact that you can't trust the CCP. In taking care of yourself so you don't get sick.
	My theory about my own health, which is excellent, is half luck and half I really do take care of myself.
	And I've been telling you about vitamin D. There's a product that is really good.
	It cleans out your sinuses.
	It cleans out your nose.
	It's a terrific product.
	It's called Novage.
	And after you use it, once you...
	You know, it takes a little time to work it out, and then it's magic.
	Then the thing is magic.
	You feel great afterwards.
	So give it a try.
	It's a terrific product, Navaj.

	This family uses it.
	Experience what it's like to breathe clearly and confidently with Navaj.
	It's also available.

	That's Navage, N-A-V-A-G-E dot com.
	I'm Dennis Prager, and I've been reading to you the reactions.
	They are really something about our time that biological men should, of course.
	This was day one of Joe Biden unifying the country.
	Why would you like to bet that three-quarters of this country doesn't think it's fair to biological women to have biological men who identify as women compete against them?
	Is unifying the country doing that?
	It's interesting.
	He had a very interesting choice on day one about the XL pipeline.
	Which he nixed.
	It's costing thousands and thousands of jobs.
	So he had a choice.
	Do I give Americans jobs?
	Or do I listen to the environmentalists?
	Who have no arguments, by the way.
	The argument against the pipeline is nil.
	It's nothing.
	These are bored overwhelmingly, since this is the way we speak today.
	These are bored white people.
	Who are our environmentalist crackpots?
	You know my old riddle, right?
	What do you call a religious person who says the world is coming to an end?
	Answer.
	A crackpot.
	What do you call a secular person who says the world is coming to an end?
	Answer.
	An environmentalist.
	There you go.
	That's the truth.
	That's why it's a good one.
	And so he listened to them.
	And by the way, some of the unions are very angry at him because he just killed jobs.
	But they don't care.
	They'll just print money and give these people money.
	It's another $2 trillion that's being printed.
	We're living in a...
	It's actually...
	I live personally...
	I was going to say a dark time.
	I live...
	In this bifurcated personal universe of a wonderful personal life.
	A wonderful professional life.
	A wonderful life.
	Watching my beloved society self-destruct.
	Now, I'm not saying it's inevitable.
	That's why I fight.
	And that's why you have to fight.
	One way to fight is not to make another party, by the way.
	It never works.
	It just doesn't work.
	All you will do is hand the Democrats, which means hand the left, inevitable victories that they wouldn't even have to cheat if indeed they do.
	Think about it this way.
	One great way to navigate life is to ask, what would it be if...
	If I did what X does, or X does what I do.
	So let's say the Democrat Party, the Democratic Party, split.
	And there was a left-wing, more left-wing wing that broke off.
	Or a less left-wing wing.
	Or a Bernie Sanders group.
	Do you think that this would help or hurt the Democrats in elections?
	Okay, everybody knows the answer.
	So why would it help Republicans?
	Now, any Republican in the Senate who votes to impeach a president who is no longer in office, if that is not the height of absurdity or the nadir of absurdity, I cannot think of what is.
	They are hurting the Republicans.
	So I say a plague on both your houses.
	Those who wish to make a new party, including a man who I thought, for the most part, was a spectacular president, because I judge people by what they do, and what he did was so good for America and the world, for that matter, that that remains a fact, no matter how much he is smeared.
	And was smeared for four years.
	To smear him after he leaves office?
	The hatred of this man is irrational.
	It's just irrational.
	For four years we were told that he's a dictator.
	Really?
	Do you have any examples of his dictatorial policies?
	Of actions of a dictator?
	Or did you lie for four years about us being a dictator?
	Or even more, Malicious.
	Did you, in fact, call him a dictator because that's what you would like to be doing?
	And that's what I do believe.
	They called him everything that they are and wish to do.
	So anyway, having said all these things about the president, I don't want another party.
	And I don't want it to revolve around one person.
	I want it to revolve around the ideals that, by the way, overwhelmingly, he stood for.
	And I want to remind you that if the Democrats broke up, they would keep losing elections.
	Anyway, back to any Republican.
	If a lot of Republicans in the Senate, I don't think enough to impeach a president, let alone impeach a president who's no longer in office anyway.
	Enough Republicans in the Senate do vote to impeach the President.
	They are rendering the possibility of a breakup of the Republican Party all the more real.
	I have deep contempt for any Republican who votes for impeachment.
	They're voting for the New York Times, not for truth.
	If the President is responsible for what happened in the Capitol, Then the number of Democratic politicians responsible for the breakdown of civilization in Seattle, Portland, New York, Chicago, and so many other cities is at least as direct.
	He says he believes that the election was stolen.
	Okay?
	And that, theoretically, led to what happened in the Capitol.
	All right.
	Then when Maxine Waters or others says, go and harass Republican politicians or that all whites are racist and then whites are beaten.
	Are they not responsible?
	This is Albert Moeller for townhall.com.
	The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order.
	That means policies.
	It means a covenant.
	In our case, it means a constitution.
	As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history.
	It's a remarkable document.
	All of that came to the fore and violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College.
	At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient.
	But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place.
	It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.
	We will never give up.
	We will never concede.
	It doesn't happen.
	You don't concede when there's theft involved.
	It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm, once again, our commitment to ordered liberty.
	It's the American way.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berkett.
	I was just waiting for that 10-second attempt where the incoming president would have said, it stops now.
	We're not going to demonize Americans because of their skin color.
	We're not going to say the National Guard is 90% white males, therefore they're a domestic threat, and we're not going to have a cancel culture on anybody who votes Republican.
	Am I dreaming?
	Are we condemned for the next four years to see even more cancel culture as somebody who's in the...
	Bloodstream of the media, what should we prepare for?
	I don't know if I'm in the bloodstream anymore, but I've certainly spent a lot of years in it.
	And I do think we are in for that.
	I think, you know, Chris Wallace was saying that the Joe Biden speech was the most, it was like the greatest he's ever heard.
	We played it.
	Yeah, okay.
	So, look, I appreciate the politics doesn't always have to be a blood spore, that kind of thing.
	That's fine.
	That's good messaging.
	But the race...
	Sort of messaging throughout, which is divisive.
	It's very divisive.
	Just telegraph to his supporters and everybody that they're gonna double and triple down on this.
	I mean, we're stuck with this narrative about white supremacy and about all Trump supporters being essentially Klansmen.
	That is what they believe.
	Not just from them, but from the media.
	And I really think, you know, that if people don't start standing up and challenging this, and I know it's easy for you and me, we have platforms, we have microphones, but I mean civilians, regular people need to start standing up and saying, just stop.
	I'm not going to let you do that to me, to my company, to my country.
	I am not going to let you reduce the discussion to divisiveness over race.
	I refuse.

	Trending now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	Was this administration and this presidency worth it?
	Some people are saying he didn't achieve anything, there were no accomplishments, a lot of promises, not a lot of follow through.
	It's just not true.
	And as soon as he won in 2016, they spied on his campaign, Crossfire Hurricane.
	They entrapped Michael Flynn in the early days of it.
	Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, none of whom have been held accountable, by the way.
	Correct.
	And I don't think a Biden Justice Department is going to be quick to indict Peter Strzok or Lisa Page or Brennan or Clapper or any of those folks.
	And so none of that will probably.
	Hi, everybody. everybody.
	I'll tell you what Donald Trump should do.
	Not start a new party, which is doomed to failure.
	That's the way it works in America.
	But rather to start an alternate media company that will actually not censor content, including left-wing content.
	That's what he needs.
	That's what we really need.
	And that's what I wish he would do.
	That's more important right now than his starting a party.
	A new social media company running on its own cloud servers does actual reporting, has real debates, doesn't censor political speech.
	It would give Twitter, Facebook, and the others serious challenges.
	That's what is needed.
	Then there he would have a vast number of people immediately leaving the left's chokehold on dialogue in the United States of America.
	Not another party.
	Let's go to some calls.
	Jared in Scottsdale, Arizona, thank you for calling.
	Hello.
	Hello, can you hear me?
	I can.
	Alright, so earlier you asked why Trump was a dictator, and I basically wanted to tell you why.
	I think, from a left-wing perspective, people call Trump a dictator.
	Okay.
	Like, first off, he hired Bill Barr, who advocates for a strong unitary executive theory.
	So, like, there's that.
	Which is inherently dictatorial.
	Secondly, he...
	Like, do you know what Lügenpress is?
	What what is?
	The Lügenpress?
	No.
	It's what Hitler would call the media, who would quote-unquote lying about him.
	It literally translates in German to lying press.
	And Trump mirrors that, like, fake news, obviously.
	Throughout history, dictators have mirrored that strategy.
	That's also a dictatorial thing he does.
	He does the classic dictatorial thing where he makes an opposing side view, so the Democrats, and he does this thing where he addresses them as, like, weak and easy to crush, but at the same time, big enough threat that we all have to band together as Americans to stalk them, right?
	Obviously, there's the strong military, which is generally a staple of authoritarian dictators.
	Do you have any comment on this?
	Yeah, I say this only, only sincerely.
	Your call saddens me.
	Why?
	I think the press is a lying, Soviet-type press.
	They lie every day, like CNN taking their account.
	Then why are people not putting in lawsuits more often?
	Wait, wait, wait.
	If people are...
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Let me react to what you said until you...
	Okay, okay, go ahead.
	Nothing you said qualifies as a dictator.
	The fact that he says that the press lies, which half of this country knows to be true, they lied for two and a half years about Russian collusion in the 2016 campaign.
	Do you consider that truth or a lie, what they said about Russian collusion with the Trump campaign?
	Look, I understand.
	No, no, no, no, please.
	I don't want to trap you.
	I want to understand you.
	Do you think that was true or false?
	Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say.
	Look, what I'm trying to say is I understand he was found innocent, but do not find it suspicious and the slightest that half of his campaign people pleaded guilty and then he fired the guy who was in charge of running it and then put his own guy...
	That's correct.
	I asked you about the press and you asked me what I find suspicious.
	If you had to bet your family home, would you bet that there was collusion between Vladimir Putin and the campaign or not?
	And the Trump campaign, yes, yes I would.
	You would.
	Alright, okay, okay.
	I'm not going to argue.
	I want to know what you think.
	Most of his campaign members literally pled guilty to it.
	Right, okay.
	And then he fired the people who were in charge of Bernie.
	Anyway, I don't, okay, okay.
	I don't understand why his saying the press lies when he did a zero to suppress them makes him a dictator.
	It's a very odd thing.
	You're using a term.
	I'm not using one example.
	There's multiple things he does.
	A dictator doesn't leave office.
	A dictator puts opponents in jail.
	A dictator controls the media.
	Did he control the media?
	Did he put opponents in jail?
	I'm not saying he is a dictator.
	I'm not saying he is a dictator.
	I'm saying he wants to be a dictator.
	It doesn't matter.
	I want to be a skiing champion.
	Okay, anyway, I have to take a break.
	He wants to be a dictator.
	Who cares?
	Oh, it was a sad few minutes here.
	Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this is when I need relief factor.
	Actually, it's not true.
	I need relief factor independent of a call that is sad.
	Relief Factor relieves your joint and muscle pain.
	It is as simple as that.
	It is a phenomenal product.
	That's why you hear about it every single day here.
	Products that keep advertising, it is because they keep selling.
	They keep selling because it works.
	They have a deal.
	In three weeks, you'll know if it works.
	It doesn't work in three weeks.

	The biggest lesson learned of the pandemic beyond the fact that people need to work is the fact that you can't trust the CCP. These are very difficult times.
	We're living in a cancel culture.
	That's one of the things that I keep saying, how I get tipped off that the other side, which is to say the Democrats principally and the mainstream media, are not on the up and up, are not working for good, because if they were, they wouldn't be participating in this wicked cancel culture.
	The cancel culture, if you know history, it really is like...
	What happened in Germany in the 30s.
	Didn't say the right thing if you didn't say Heil Hitler loudly enough.
	I think about that.
	What it's like to live during times of this chilling censorship.
	We call it today cancel culture.
	It's the antithesis of American style liberty.
	It's the absolute antithesis.
	It's wicked.
	But right now it's happening like crazy.
	We have...
	the other side which is to say the democrats and the mainstream media and some in the republican party as well saying if you do not toe the party line as i said before we will make you pay where we will come after your sponsors mike lindell has is going to be losing millions of dollars hey everybody i'm dennis prager I
	thought the last call that I'd like to meet this young man.
	I wonder if I could speak to him for, well, obviously I wouldn't be able to, but if he lived in my intellectual world for a year, what would happen?
	Did the conversation go from, I want to explain to you why we think he's a dictator, to he wants to be a dictator?
	So here is something that I'd like him to know at the age of, what was he, 16 or 18?
	I think 18. And everybody should know this.
	This is one of the two, three fundamental moral beliefs of my life.
	I don't care what people want to do.
	I only care about what people do.
	There is no one who does not have dark thoughts.
	Such a human being has yet to be created.
	I don't judge people by their dark thoughts.
	I only judge them by their behavior.
	There are people who wish to commit...
	He is the host of MSNBC's Hardball and the Chris Matthews Show.
	He also has a new book out called Jack Kennedy, Elusive Hero.
	He says Democrats want blacks to focus only in on one issue.
	You know, to be perfectly honest, that sounds great to me.
	Sounds great to a lot of you, I suspect.
	Get the exact same salary and not have to work.
	But I work hard.
	So isn't that what matters?
	It would seem to me that that is the issue.
	What do you do?
	Not what do you want to do.
	He would have known this had he grown up in a religious educational world.
	The reason for...
	Law, like Ten Commandments, is because people want to do the things that are prohibited.
	People want to murder, people want to commit adultery, people want to steal, people want to lie.
	Therefore, there are laws against those things.
	For the believer given by God, the creator of the universe.
	The idea that we judge people on what they want to be or do.
	This is why secularism produces fools.
	It does.
	It's a perfect example.
	I knew when I was eight.
	You don't judge people by what they want to do.
	In fact, the more bad you want to do and don't do, the better a human being you are!
	Where are you going to get the money for the bullet train?

	Okay, everybody.
	And Todd in Weed, California.
	Hello, Todd.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I'm a teacher and a coach for 20 to 25 years, and this gender thing is another attack on what I believe is an attack on high school sports.
	During the pandemic, our district decided that to save money, we were going to not pay coaches a stipend anymore, So
	you're calling in relation to the transgender issue?
	So what's going to happen at your school?
	My district, sports will essentially end, I think, especially football.
	And to play sports, you'll have to join club teams, which limits.
	You can only play on a club team if you're good.
	So the average athlete who wants to play sports will not be able to play.
	So we're eliminating not only...
	Wait, I'm sorry.
	Why is that?
	I missed that.
	Why won't the average person not be able to play?
	If high school sports go away, club sports will be left.
	And club sports only...
	There's not enough clubs that take average to below average players.
	The whole club world is based on getting to the next level.
	So they only take the top athletes.
	And so just access to sports, I think, is not going to be available for most teenagers like it is today.
	Wow.
	That's one prediction I hope doesn't come true.
	When I think about young people today, my heart breaks.
	It does.
	I mean, think about what is being done to them.
	They don't go to school for absolutely no good reason.
	It has nothing to do with science.
	It has to do with cowards in the educational department called teachers and principals.
	They're cowards.
	You won't stand in front of a class of kids.
	You, unless you have serious immune problems, immunological issues, you're a coward.
	And not just cowards.
	I mean, the union, the LAUSD, the Los Angeles Unified School District Union, has made conditions that have nothing to do with education until teachers come back.
	Can't go to school.
	You're told your future is death because of global warming.
	You're told your past is rotten because you're an American.
	Yep.
	When I think of the relatively carefree childhood that I had and the vast majority of Americans had, I'm sorry.

	That's one of the things that I keep saying, how I get tipped off that the other side, which is to say the Democrats principally and the mainstream media, are not on the up and up, are not working for good, because if they were, they wouldn't be participating in this wicked cancel culture.
	The cancel culture, if you know history, it really is like...
	What happened in Germany in the 30s.
	Didn't say the right thing if you didn't say Heil Hitler loudly enough.
	I think about that.
	What it's like to live during times of this chilling censorship.
	We call it today cancel culture.
	It's the antithesis of American style liberty.
	It's the absolute antithesis.
	It's wicked.
	But right now it's happening like crazy.
	We have...
	the other side which is to say the democrats and the mainstream media and some in the republican party as well saying if you do not toe the party line as i said before we will make you pay where we will come after your sponsors mike lindell uh has is going to be losing millions of dollars which he gives away to christian organizations uh pregnancy centers i mean He's going to be losing that because Kohl's,

	Hey, everybody.
	You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show.
	And Ralph in Los Angeles.
	Hello.
	Good morning, Dennis.
	How are you today?
	I'm well, thank you.
	So I keep hearing you say that why don't we have to wear the mask if you got the vaccine, correct?
	Correct.
	So I went to the fire department, and I got my vaccine.
	I get my vaccine next week, the second one.
	And the reason why they told us, the reason why we had to continue to wear the mask is because you can still get the virus.
	You can still get the virus and transfer it to somebody else.
	What the vaccine does is lessen the effects of the virus.
	It makes it into a common code, so to speak.
	So you can still get the virus, you can still get sick, but it lessens the effect of the virus.
	So, you believe that This is unique in the history of vaccinations.
	Vaccines have been around for thousands of years.
	They told us, before we got the vaccine, they wanted us to watch this PowerPoint about how vaccines are started, why people don't want to take it, all the different misconceptions about vaccines.
	This particular vaccine, the Moderna one that I took, you don't get the coronavirus.
	They don't give it to you.
	It just creates a particular protein that presents you to get it.
	I understand.
	That's right.
	So when do you see us ever getting rid of masks?
	I don't know.
	I just wish that one day we don't have to wear a mask.
	But right now, you have to wear a mask because you can still get the virus with this vaccine, both of the Pfizer and the Moderna, and you can still transfer it to someone else.
	It just, you know, because it just not makes you...
	Well, if it lessens the effects, why do I care?
	You can still transfer it to somebody else.
	The reason why we wear the mask is not to protect...
	Wait, wait.
	You said that the reason we wear the mask is because you may get the virus.
	Now it's that you may transmit the virus.
	The reason why we wear the mask is to prevent it from transferring it to somebody else.
	I didn't want to catch you.
	The beginning was that you could get it.
	So you could transfer it.
	So if people know that they are in an environment where virtually everybody is vaccinated, will they stop wearing masks?
	This is an unprecedented assault on the social fabric of a society.
	Masks hide human beings.
	I don't want people to get used to it.
	I'd much rather flirt with the danger of getting sick or transmitting the sickness after a vaccine than have everybody hide their face.
	Life is a series of choices.

	Don't feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they're going to grow up in is not what it used to be.
	God created them and called them for the exact moment in the time they're in.
	Their life wasn't a coincidence or an accident.
	Raised them up to know the power that they walk in as children of God.
	Trained them in the authority of His Word.
	Teach them to walk in faith, knowing that God is in control.
	He knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life.
	He created them specifically for it.
	Don't be scared for your children to be honored that God chose you to parent the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime.
	Rise up to the challenge!
	God isn't scratching His head wondering what He's going to do with the mess that we're facing.
	He has an army He's raising up to drive back the darkness.
	Don't let your fears steal the greatness that God has placed in them.
	It's hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them.
	But they were born for just a time for such a time as this.
	I love that.
	I love that.

	So, I was not raised saying the possibilities are endless.
	I was raised saying other people are going to tell me that my possibilities are not endless, but don't listen to them.

	Do you really think that she believes that racism is a major factor in American life?
	I mean, honestly?
	I mean, I know what she says to people.
	Do you think she and Barack Obama legitimately believe that the same country under which she became vice president, he became president, respectively, holds people back?
	This is the kind of thing that they honestly believe.

	China turbocharges bid to discredit Western vaccine spread virus conspiracy theories.
	The most recent one being that hot buns brought the new virus in from outside.
	Ought Twitter and Facebook to be shutting this down?
	I believe this is actually inimical to the world to allow this to go on.
	Ought Facebook and Twitter to shut down this propaganda?
	Well, in the midst of the pandemic in March, when Facebook and Twitter were allowing CCP apparatchiks to spread earlier conspiracy theories such that the United States Army was responsible for the outbreak of the virus, I wrote a letter to At Jack telling him that at a minimum he should kick Chinese officials off.
	His platform.
	And I think the simple standard should be if a foreign government does not allow their own citizens access to the platform, then its government officials should not have access to the platform in order to spread dangerous propaganda and dangerous conspiracy theories.

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

	What is it, everybody? everybody?
	be.
	It's the happy, happy, happy, happy hour!
	Yes, it is.
	Yes, it is.
	Hey, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	It's the second hour on Friday, ergo the happiness hour.
	We don't miss a week, no matter what.
	No matter what.
	These are the original lyrics.
	All right, everybody, join me.
	It's the happy, happy, happy, happy hour!
	Yes, my friends, sometimes happiness is challenged.
	And for many of us, this is one of those times.
	Masks, virus, lockdowns, woke culture of suppression and censorship.
	A lot of bad stuff out there.
	So, I look at it this way.
	Ready?
	Here you go.
	I mentioned this to some friends just yesterday.
	And it goes like this.
	You know I'm very much into music.
	I periodically conduct orchestras.
	And I've loved classical music since I was in high school.
	And I read once a review of a pianist.
	And the reviewer put it this way.
	So-and-so...
	Played Beethoven.
	Beethoven lost.
	And that was a very witty review of a pianist.
	Devastating, but very witty.
	And it made me think about life.
	We play life.
	And...
	At a very young age, I decided that I wasn't going to let life beat me.
	That's it.
	That's part of my attitude, and it's been effective.
	I have had my hardships, like every one of you.
	Some of you have had it tougher.
	There's no doubt in my mind.
	I'm grateful for everything.
	Some of you have had it easier.
	And I'm sure you're grateful for that.
	Whatever you have.
	I understand that there are levels of trauma that are almost paralyzing.
	And I do.
	But I also have been with people under horrific conditions who have somehow managed to maintain a positive I wasn't even going to say positive outlook.
	Maybe that's true.
	I don't know in their hearts.
	But they have not acted upon their awful circumstance.
	So on this Happiness Hour, like last week, rather than giving you a theory on happiness and then have you respond, I'm just going to check in on you.
	Obviously, I just gave you a theory in a nutshell about not living life beat you.
	I have been recommending for weeks now that the key is to find kindred spirits.
	The number of people in this country who have to hide what they believe is in the many tens of millions.
	I try not to politicize the happiness hour, but politics impinges terribly, unfortunately.
	Over the course of the last few years, during the time when life was normal and you could travel normally, and I had lectures just about every week and flew just about every week, people would come over to me in airports.
	There has not been a time In decades that I have not been approached at an airport by at least one person.
	And in the last few years, something very ominous has taken place.
	People will look around before they say anything to me, and then in a hushed voice tell me that they are conservative or supported the president at the time, President Trump.
	That Americans need to look around before they tell you their political preference is new in American history.
	So that means, getting back to my theme, that a lot of you hide who you are much of your life.
	Like at work.
	That is not a happiness-inducing situation, is it?
	So, in light of that, you need to find Kindred Spirits.
	I told you, I think, I had this dream of starting KindredSpirits.com Anyway, I've told you all of my life with regard to the Happiness Hour that we should date for friends like we dated for a spouse.
	But I think that people are self-conscious about doing so.
	What's the matter?
	You can't find a friend?
	You have to go on the internet?
	I don't know why not.
	What's the difference where you find a friend?
	The trick is to find them.
	And to speak with them and to open up to them, it's a health benefit, apparently.
	Having friends is the equivalent.
	Of adding to life what not smoking cigarettes adds.
	That's what I think I read a number of times.
	Having a religious community or religion active in a religion adds years to your life.
	Apparently having a dog does.
	I have all three.
	I should live forever.
	I do smoke cigars.
	That, I believe, does add to my life because of the relaxation.
	And the risk versus relaxation ratio is pretty high in the direction of relaxation.
	So, the happiness hour during this period of difficulty, to understate the case, Is asking what you have worked out, and have you taken my advice?
	That's a call I'd really love to take.
	Yeah, you know what?
	I took your advice, Dennis.
	Looked for kindred spirits and people I could actually open up to.
	1-8-Prager-776.
	877-243-7776 is the number to reach me.
	It is a challenging time.
	You know, this is the way I look at it.
	In the micro, in our personal lives, for most people, there are real challenges to happiness.
	A child who is difficult, a parent who is difficult, a troubled marriage.
	Personal finances.
	I mean, there are so many arenas, somebody's health in my life, including perhaps your own.
	But we have, as Americans, generally been able to isolate the pain inducers, the happiness reducers, or challengers, if it might be a better word, to the micro.
	To those personal issues.
	Yeah, well, is it the challenge to my happiness?
	Or I'm not so happy these days because...
	And then you fill in my child, my parent, my spouse, my marriage, my health, my income.
	But it's my.
	It's been for most people living in this country.
	The challenges to happiness have been...
	Those things have been the personal.
	We have taken for granted that the country, the society, will not be a source of pain and misery.
	The American way of looking at things was, let the state Leave you alone so that you can have your own problems.
	That's basically the view.
	Nobody guarantees happiness.
	But that is no longer the case.
	I certainly, speaking for myself, 98.43% of my...
	Unhappiness, to the extent that I have it, and I do, and I combat it, and I act cheerful, is induced by what's happening in my society.
	It's an amazing thing.
	This is a first for most Americans that the state is impinging directly on their happiness level.
	1-8 Prager 776. I was just waiting for that 10 second attempt where the incoming president would have said,
	it stops.
	Now, we're not going to demonize Americans because of their skin color.
	We're not going to say the National Guard is 90% white males, therefore they're a domestic threat, and we're not going to have a cancel culture on anybody who votes Republican.
	Am I dreaming?
	Are we condemned for the next four years to see even more cancel culture as somebody who's in the...
	Bloodstream of the media, what should we prepare for?
	I don't know if I'm in the bloodstream anymore, but I've certainly spent a lot of years in it.
	And I do think we are in for that.
	I think, you know, Chris Wallace was saying that the Joe Biden speech was the most, it was like the greatest he's ever heard.
	We played it.
	Yeah, okay.
	So, look, I appreciate the politics doesn't always have to be a blood spore, that kind of thing.
	That's fine.
	That's good messaging.
	But the race...
	Sort of messaging throughout, which is divisive.
	It's very divisive.
	Just telegraph to his supporters and everybody that they're going to double and triple down on this.
	I mean, we're stuck with this narrative about white supremacy and about all Trump supporters being essentially Klansmen.
	That is what they believe.
	Not just from them, but from the media.
	And I really think, you know, that if people don't start standing up and challenging this, and I know it's easy for you and me, we have platforms, we have microphones, but I mean, Civilian, regular people need to start standing up and saying, just stop.
	I'm not going to let you do that to me, to my company, to my country.
	I am not going to let you reduce the discussion to divisiveness over race.
	I refuse.

	Was this administration and this presidency worth it?
	Some people are saying he didn't achieve anything.
	There are no accomplishments, a lot of promises, not a lot of follow through.
	It's just not true.
	And as soon as he won in 2016, they spied on his campaign, Crossfire Hurricane.
	They entrapped Michael Flynn in the early days of it.
	Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, none of whom have been held accountable, by the way.
	Correct.
	And I don't think a Biden Justice Department is going to be quick to indict Peter Strzok or Lisa Page or Brennan or Clapper or any of those folks.
	And so none of that will probably ever be brought to justice.
	And so but from the minute he became president elect, they all of a sudden they immediately started to launch everything they possibly could to undercut him.
	Instantly.
	And that was their game plan from day one, present this unified front from the Democrat Party and from the political left to take him down at every possible second.
	And despite that, President Trump remained focused all throughout his transition, remained focused all throughout the early days of his presidency and even through the toughest parts of his presidency.
	Being impeached twice, for example.
	And also the special counsel with Bob Mueller.
	With all of that in front of him and all of the difficulty and all of the headwinds, President Trump still had an unprecedented amount of accomplishments.
	We're gonna go through that list and we're gonna go through the sound and also just some of the fun moments.

	Hi everyone, I'm Dennis Prager.
	This is the Happiness Hour.
	You know what?
	It's funny.
	It came into my brain.
	The world-famous Happiness Hour.
	And I thought, you know, that's a little pompous.
	So I'm sharing with you my self-censorship.
	Anyway, whatever its fame, it is the Happiness Hour.
	Since 1999, second hour Fridays, talking to you about happiness in a difficult time.
	And I made a point that I think is worth remembering.
	Until recently, Americans overwhelmingly, not all, but overwhelmingly, had challenges to their happiness in the personal.
	As I said, their marriage, their parents, their children, their finances, their health, that's all personal.
	Those were the major challenges.
	For many Americans today, for the first time in memory, at least in my memory, the greatest challenge to many Americans' happiness is the society, is the state.
	A restaurant owner in California may well have been Reduced to almost no money after a lifetime of building up that restaurant.
	That was induced by the state.
	Had this restaurant owner owned his or her restaurant in Florida, they would still be in business.
	This is their bad luck to live in California.
	Induced their unhappiness.
	Not their health, friends, etc.
	Marriage.
	1-8 Prager 776. So this is a new type of challenge to one's happiness.
	That's why I have been answering for nearly a year now when people say to me, Dennis, hi, how are you?

	Dallas, Texas.
	Pam, hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Oh, I'm so excited I got through.
	Thank you.
	I took your advice last week about finding kindred spirits, and I created a meet-up group in Dallas, Texas.
	And I'm getting all kinds of hits, and people are wanting to join.
	So I want to thank you so much.
	Oh, that, I tell you, made my day.
	So why don't you put out there?
	I put Dennis Prager Fan Club Seeking Kindred Spirits.
	And the funny thing is, Dennis, I created it last Friday, and because I was so...
	Depressed and enthralled about Trump's departure from the White House that I didn't check my email for three days.
	So when I finally checked it, I contacted the first person to let her know and apologize for the delay in reaching back out to her because I've been in mourning.
	So, you know, we exchanged phone numbers.
	She texted me back.
	And said, I'm so sorry for your loss.
	And it went on and on with deep sympathy.
	She misunderstood and thought that I had a death in my family.
	Oh, God.
	Oh, God.
	Oh, my God.
	That is so painful.
	I know.
	So go on.
	What happened when you explained it sheepishly?
	What happened?
	Well, I wrote her back on the subject line in the spirit of the mantra of Dennis on clarity.
	I have to clarify that I was in mourning over President Trump and not the death of a family member.
	We laughed so hard, I thought, I cannot wait to share this irony in this story with Dennis today.
	And I got through.
	Praise God.
	Praise God is right.
	So let me ask you, did you actually end up meeting or anything like that?
	Oh, no.
	We're still, people are calling.
	We're going to have a meet-up, and I will keep you, you know, I don't know how, maybe through email.
	Yeah, definitely.
	I'm very, very, that's a great idea.
	Thank you.
	It's an exciting call.
	Look, you've got to advertise.
	That's a great idea.
	Advertise for kindred spirits.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	Not only nothing wrong, it's magnificent.
	I've been so lucky in life in this regard because obviously being a public figure, kindred spirits have just come to me.
	I have this body of wonderful humans in my life that I never take for granted.
	Through the show, through my writings, through PragerU, I just meet spectacular human beings.
	It's very, very, not just...
	Yes, I'll use the word encouraging.
	Encourage means instill courage.
	Kindred spirits instill courage.
	That's what the word encourage comes from.
	Well, that's a good one.
	That's a good idea.
	All right.
	Matt in San Clemente, California.
	Hello.
	Yeah, I was...
	I guess, to me, kindred spirits are good as long as you don't have zero kindred spirits or you don't have 100% kindred spirits.
	I feel like a lot of people get themselves stuck in echo chambers of 100% kindred spirits, and they just never hear the other side and end up being unhappy because they get so mad that they're just in their own echo chamber with their and they just never hear the other side and end up being unhappy because they get so mad that they're It's a very good Nicole experience.
	It's an interesting challenge.
	What is the state of your life?
	Do you have kindred spirits you're close to?
	Yeah, I have probably a 50-50 mix.
	So what is your political persuasion?
	I'm conservative, but independent.
	I don't like any party, whether it be Republican or Democrat, but I lean conservative.
	Okay, so just to throw out an issue that I discussed last hour, do you think it's okay for biological males identifying as females to compete against females in sports?
	I don't think they should, but I had a problem with you saying that you don't see any difference between a black man and a white man either in sports, where to me there are differences in the same trap that you fall into, the liberals fall into with men and women.
	meaning that they think everyone's equal, everyone's the same.
	Black men and, say, a black African-American man and a Jewish man, they're not the same in sports.
	You know, you look at 40-yard dash, you look at NFL, you look at NBA, you don't see any, the percentage of black people are superior.
	But that's, okay, that's a separate issue.
	Okay, we'll be back.

	One would think the Democrats would be a little bit happy.
	But as Tucker Carlson pointed out last night, winning elections, Or winning the election of 2020 seems to make them angrier.
	Instead of taking victory laps, they are plotting revenge against the people they just beat.
	They're thinking of new ways to injure and humiliate and degrade their political opponents, make it impossible for them to work again, throw them in jail, destroy their lives.
	It's hard to describe how weird and strange and awful this is to watch.
	Imagine winning a tennis match in straight sets, then immediately leaping over the net and smashing your opponent in the face with your racket.
	It wasn't enough for you to win.
	You had to inflict physical pain.
	You couldn't be happy until another human being screamed in agony.
	It is really peculiar to see the lack of, I don't know, even relief from the Democrats.
	Here's what Glenn Reynolds wrote at the New York Post.
	The Democrats voted to impeach Trump again when they impeached him almost exactly a year ago.
	Just in time to distract the White House, Congress, and the nation from the looming coronavirus pandemic, the grounds were, to say the least, thin.
	It was notable the Democrats didn't even bring up impeachment at their convention, and it stayed below the radar during the presidential campaign.
	After allegedly being a matter of earth-shattering importance, it was like it never happened.
	But now they've impeached him a week before he was scheduled to leave office anyway, and this time the claim was even thinner.
	That a speech in which Trump called for peaceful protest was somehow incitement of events on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, some of which apparently took place before the speech was delivered.
	When Democrats spent a year promoting and excusing violent riots against police, we were told that it was mostly peaceful protest.
	Even when police stations and state capitals were seized and when rioters tried to burn down federal courthouses.
	When Trump called for peaceful protest, we're told he was advocating violence.

	This extends from Team Biden to Team Trump.
	They are all unified that China is committing genocide.
	Therefore, I don't know how Silicon Valley doesn't take notice of this, Mike.
	It's like turning their eyes away from the Auschwitz.
	It's there.
	They know it's there.
	They've got to do something with their platforms.
	Yeah, and I think particularly just given the way in which Silicon Valley likes to lecture the rest of the world on doing no evil and their morality, I think this is the obvious thing that is staring them in the face.
	And again, I just go back to this issue, and former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster had a great op-ed in the Washington Post today about how much of Trump's legacy, particularly as it pertains to China, there is for the Biden team.
	To build off of.
	And so much of the work that I've done on the Armed Services Committee has been bipartisan work, and so I just really would urge Biden's national security team not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
	You know, I really hope in the confirmation process, members of Congress, particularly in the Senate, because we don't play in the confirmation process in the House, except with Austin, where we'll have to change the underlying law to grant him a waiver because he's a recently retired general.
	I really hope we use this opportunity to press the incoming Biden administration on the China issue because it is the most important issue.
	It's not just a foreign policy issue.

	I'll bet I am.

	Brendan Strzok with the walk-away movement?
	I might have.
	I don't remember.
	I've seen him on a lot of...
	But tell me, what was the...
	Oh, you mean the walk-away?
	You're talking about blacks leaving the Democratic Party?
	Well, it wasn't just blacks.
	It was just anybody that had realized that things weren't right in the Democratic Party.
	Right.
	And that it wasn't the Democratic Party that they remembered.
	Right.
	That they thought they were in.
	So go ahead.
	But they were on Facebook, and they were leaving their testimonials.
	And if one seemed to talk to me more than another or whatever, I would click on and message them personally.
	So I now have friends, like-minded friends all over the U.S.
	AND THEY CREATED A STATE WALK AWAY.
	They created a local...
	They encouraged us to get together.
	So...
	I think that's great.
	So, did you find any in Louisville?

	The more, the merrier of recommendations on how people can do this.
	But obviously, just setting up Something like the first caller.
	It doesn't have to obviously revolve around Dennis Prager, but anything that people can latch on to, that it could be, you know, the American Trinity.
	It doesn't matter, but something where you find people who just understand that this experiment is, like all experiments, is fragile.
	Because human nature stinks, and it's so easy to destroy.
	The wonder is not the bad that America has done.
	The wonder is the amount of good that America has done.
	The raw material of any society is human beings.
	Human beings possess, and you have to be an idiot not to know how flawed human nature is.
	But you're taught to be an idiot in our educational system.
	And I know exactly why.
	Because they inherited the dilemma of the post-enlightenment world.
	If you don't believe in God, you have to believe in man.
	Or you believe in nothing, and people can't believe in nothing.
	So they dropped God, and now they believe in humanity.
	Can't think of a stupider belief, but that's what they do.
	So being composed, not only is America composed of humans, and therefore the raw material is very problematic, but it is composed of humans from everywhere, many of whom were not exactly the best of their society.
	The people who succeeded well in their society stayed there.
	It was the lost souls and often the ne'er-do-wells who came to America.
	So we not only had to build a country of the most disparate backgrounds of human beings, but of the flawed human being that we are.

	He used race to divide us from the very beginning.
	From the racist birther lie that the former President Barack Obama was not born in this country to both sides in Charlottesville to dancing around the question of whether he disavowed the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
	There's a lot to unpack.
	First, let's talk about the birther lie.
	Again, John Heilman, the co-author of the book Game Change, he's a lefty.
	He is conceding that, no, it was the Hillary campaign that questioned whether or not Barack Obama was from Africa.
	With her and her campaign passing things around in the Democratic primary, Rich, now listen.
	He says he is.
	The Republicans are wrong for doing what they're doing.
	It started, this started with Hillary Clinton.
	And it was spread by the Clinton team.
	We're just telling the truth.
	Back in 2008. Now that's Joe Scarborough, along with Mika Brzezinski, saying that it was Hillary who started it.
	One of the other panelists, a guy named Harold Ford.
	Harold Ford is a former congressman from Tennessee, a Democrat, and he had no idea that it was the Hillary campaign that started it.
	He was flummoxed.
	Also on the same panel was John Heilman, who later on had to be encouraged to come in and confirm or dispute.
	The assertion.
	And he said, unfortunately, it is true.
	Hillary's campaign started it.
	I really, I don't even know.
	Harold, please don't, don't.
	But, Nika, you can't tell me this.
	Harold Ford.

	Eric, play cuts.
	I think one of the sad things with the realities of the past 20...
	25 years is the Republicans have shown themselves to be very good at winning elections.
	Maybe not in this particular case for the White House, but in general, they win elections and very bad at fighting the culture wars.
	And it's unfortunate because now the Democrats control the media, Hollywood, academia, big tech, and half the country doesn't feel represented at all.
	Almost all of the information that comes back to them publicly.
	Megyn Kelly, a legacy journalist, a member of the mainstream media, won't even use the phrase culture war.
	Kudos to you for making that observation.
	How did you come to it?
	Is it a recent revelation for you or is it something that you've noticed over time?
	Talk to us about your experience and how you came to that conclusion.
	Well, I mean, I was never sort of a PC gal, and I always objected.
	My first book was almost called Cupcake Nation, because I could see what was happening to the country, and I was really getting kind of disgusted by it.
	And now it's that on steroids.
	Just the past couple of years, wokeism has just become alive and well and taken over virtually all of our institutions.
	And that underscores how many of our outlets the left controls.
	And I really think it's dangerous.
	And I've been thinking about it a lot in the wake of what happened at the Capitol.
	Because right now, of course, you're seeing everybody like, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	And yes, Trump and his surrogates said some incendiary things prior to.
	More his surrogates than him.
	But the left is not taking any responsibility for how those people got to them.

	And Gene, I'm going to take your call because I think you have something accurate.
	In your charge against it.
	Yes.
	Dennis?
	Yeah.
	Mr. Prager, I can often refer to you as my juror.
	That's a good one.
	I have for about 30 years now, I guess, since Religion on the Line.
	Right.
	Your juror.
	That's awesome.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	So I call you once every 10 years, whether I need to or not.
	Just to check in.
	Just to check in.
	This is the first time I've found you saying something that I actually disagree with, which is that you seem to imply that you work because you have to.
	I don't think one of your listeners believes that you have to work.
	You do what you do because you love it and because it's your nature.
	You're right.
	That's why I'm smiling the whole time.
	I cracked up when I saw your message that you caught me in a lie.
	You know, I've got to tell you, you're going to find this fascinating.
	Thank you so much.
	I look forward to 10 years from now.
	When I said it, I said it last hour.
	I don't remember the context, but I was talking about, oh yes, the things where a young man called up an 18-year-old and said that Donald Trump He was a dictator, and I asked for evidence of that, and then by the end he goes, well, he wants to be a dictator, which is a big difference.
	And I said, wants to doesn't matter.
	People want to do terrible things.
	That's why we have the Ten Commandments and why we have secular laws, because people want to do bad things, and they don't.
	It doesn't matter what you think.
	It matters what you do.
	And, you know, I said, so, you know, I gave this example.
	Hey, I would like to sleep in every day and still get my salary.
	I was speaking generically because I want to say that Gene in San Pedro, California is right.
	I do this because of my love of doing it.
	In fact, I admit it, my need to.
	I need to try to touch as many lives as possible.
	So, he got me.
	That's correct.
	But when I said it, I thought, look, this is not fully accurate, but I thought people were saying, yeah, that's what I'd like to do, you know, sleep in and get my salary.
	So it was sort of speaking on behalf of most of humanity.
	Anyway, that was very good, and I agree with you.
	You need to find people.
	That's been my message for weeks now because of the challenge.
	This is unique in my experience.
	Unique in my experience that the society, the macro is impinging on my happiness, whereas for the vast majority of people in America, it has not been the macro, it has been the micro.
	Their problems in financial, health, marital, children, parental, now it is the society.
	Things that are happening outside of one that for many of us is the source of unhappiness and of whatever unhappiness we have.
	Let's put it that way.
	The beauty of America, unlike almost every other place, was that for most Americans, politics was not the center of their life.
	The center of their life was their life.
	Their family, their friends, their religion, their work.
	That is the way it should be.
	The less people have to think about politics, the healthier the society is.
	One of the reasons that I embrace conservatism is that its essential element is please leave me alone.
	Let me fail.
	Yes, let me fail.
	Let me succeed and let me fail.
	But leave me alone.
	I want to be preoccupied with the things I just mentioned.
	Family, friends, work.
	Religion.
	But there are those who are the drama queens of life and they have created turmoil.
	And it's like a tornado.
	You can't just keep playing chess while the tornado comes.
	So that's a new challenge to the happiness and life of the average American.
	It really is new.
	Most people in American history in the last hundred years, by and large, they just lived their lives.
	and they voted and then lived their lives again.
	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, 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 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.

	Am I dreaming?
	Are we condemned for the next four years to see even more cancel culture as somebody who's in the Bloodstream of the media, what should we prepare for?
	I don't know if I'm in the bloodstream anymore, but I've certainly spent a lot of years in it.
	And I do think we are in for that.
	I think, you know, Chris Wallace was saying that the Joe Biden speech was the most, it was like the greatest he's ever heard.
	We played it.
	Yeah, okay, so look, I appreciate the politics doesn't always have to be a blood spore, that kind of thing.
	That's fine.
	That's good messaging.
	But the race...
	Sort of messaging throughout, which is divisive.
	It's very divisive.
	Just telegraph to his supporters and everybody that they're gonna double and triple down on this.
	I mean, we're stuck with this narrative about white supremacy and about all Trump supporters being essentially Klansmen.
	That is what they believe.
	Not just from them, but from the media.
	And I really think, you know, that if people don't start standing up and challenging this, and I know it's easy for you and me, we have platforms, we have microphones, but I mean civilian, regular people need to start standing up and saying, just stop.
	I'm not going to let you do that to me, to my company, to my country.

	You gotta find people that are kindred spirits.
	And Sandra, San Clemente, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	It's an honor to speak with you.
	How are you?
	I am well, thank you.
	Good.
	So, yes, I just wanted to call and let you know that I was getting pretty desperate myself to find kindred spirits.
	I tried other outlets, starting groups, and wasn't very successful.
	So I thought, why not start a PragerU book club?
	So in August this past year on Nextdoor, which is a neighborhood app, I put in a request to start this.
	And within a day or so, I had a wait list of over 20. I had at least 20 active people.
	And we have been meeting monthly at my house, even with COVID. And we go off the PragerU books as well as other ones like we did your book.
	And it's just been wonderful.
	Wow.
	I love it.
	Send me some photos of the folks you're with.
	Okay.
	Dennis, I actually wrote you a letter you signed when I did the happiness book in November.
	I sent you a copy and asked you to sign it, and I gave it away as a little gift at the group.
	And they were so thrilled with that.
	But I did send you a letter saying what I was doing, but I'll be more than happy to send you a photo.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's a wonderful group of women, all ages, Dennis.
	You know, and we're just supportive.
	We're inquisitive.
	And we're hopeful together.
	That's right.
	That's beautiful.
	Yes.
	You know, I've never...
	Made a secret of my belief and how important friends are to me.
	I've always talked about that.
	And, you know, stereotypically, and a lot of stereotypes are accurate, so I don't say that as a negative.
	Stereotypically, men are regarded as less likely to seek intimate friends, less likely to open up.
	And there may be a lot of truth to that.
	And to the extent that that is true, I would say to my fellow males, it's a terrible loss in your life.
	And I've done a number of happiness hours on the beauty of opening up to people.

	The cancel culture, if you know history, it really is like...
	What happened in Germany in the 30s.
	Didn't say the right thing if you didn't say Heil Hitler loudly enough.
	I think about that.

	We have...
	the other side which is to say the democrats and the mainstream media and some in the republican party as well saying if you do not toe the party line as i said before we will make you pay where we will come after your sponsors mike lindell uh has is going to be losing millions of dollars which he gives away to christian organizations uh pregnancy centers i mean He's going to be losing that because Kohl's,

	music Some of the best quote-unquote analysis is beyond journalism I've heard in a long time.
	Eric, play cuts.
	I think one of the sad things about the realities over the past 20...
	25 years is the Republicans have shown themselves to be very good at winning elections.
	Maybe not in this particular case for the White House, but in general they win elections and very bad at fighting the culture wars.
	And it's unfortunate because now the Democrats control the media, Hollywood, academia, big tech, and half the country doesn't feel represented at all.
	Almost all of the information that comes back to them publicly.
	Megyn Kelly, a legacy journalist, a member of the mainstream media, won't even use the phrase culture war.
	Kudos to you for making that observation.
	How did you come to it?
	Is it a recent revelation for you or is it something that you've noticed over time?
	Talk to us about your experience and how you came to that conclusion.
	Well, I mean, I was never sort of a PC gal, and I always objected.
	My first book was almost called Cupcake Nation, because I could see what was happening to the country, and I was really getting kind of disgusted by it.
	And now it's that on steroids.
	Just the past couple of years, wokeism has just become alive and well and taken over virtually all of our institutions.
	And that underscores how many of our outlets the left controls.
	And I really think it's dangerous.
	And I've been thinking about it a lot in the wake of what happened at the Capitol.
	Because right now, of course, you're seeing everybody like, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	And yes, Trump and his surrogates said some incendiary things prior to.
	More his surrogates than him.
	But the left is not taking any responsibility for how those people got to that place where there's no trust in government institutions.
	They don't know where to turn for facts.
	and there's been no reflection.

	Let's go to cut.
	That's what my parents learned at a very early age, thank God.
	Pretty much my own guy from a very early age.
	My mother did think I'd end up in prison, but thank God she was wrong.
	When she said it to me, I thought, I don't agree with her.
	It didn't ruin my day.
	It's hard to ruin my day, unless it's a bad thing that's happening.
	All right, let's take this music in, everybody.
	She may not be wrong, you know.
	Yes, indeed.

	Boy, I always said that.
	Now death is more prominent to subject, isn't it?
	And, of course, of course, classical music, audio equipment, photography equipment, cigars, and fountain pens.
	Yes, that's right.
	Alright everybody, what is on your mind?
	I certainly share with you what is on my mind.
	You know, the happiness hour, last hour, I did raise an issue that is worthy of addressing some other time, and I'll just briefly remind you, at least in my lifetime, for most Americans, politics It was an issue, not the issue.
	The issue was our life, the life we live, hopefully with a community, but that was basically the preoccupation of most Americans.
	But with the ascent of the left, the political becomes the central issue for people not even wanting it to be.
	I don't want it to be.
	I have a very happy life with my family, my friends, my religion, my work.
	I don't want to be preoccupied with the political.
	As I said, I want to be left alone.
	I want to be...
	This was a good line I came up with last hour.
	I want to be left alone to fail.
	I want to be allowed to fail.
	And then I want to be allowed to succeed.
	I don't want you to make sure I don't fail.
	I don't want you to stop me from succeeding.
	The you being the state.
	The state is everything for so many people.
	Remember that Julia?
	That was her name.
	The Democratic National Convention, The Life of Julia.
	Do we have that audio?
	It was shown at the Democratic Convention.
	I know it was pictures, but it had an audio.
	There was a voiceover, and it was about Julia.
	And it was a phenomenon.
	The Democratic National Convention showed this film, this cartoon, in cartoon form, about a woman who grows up in America and the government takes care of her her whole life.
	There is no man in the entire video.
	There's no husband.
	The state will take care of you.
	That is the vision.
	The state will take care of you.
	Why do you think marriage is down in all of the West?
	The state will take care of you.
	You don't need anybody to help take care of you or you take care of.
	The state.
	The state will educate your children.
	I mean, even that's a phenomenon.
	Think about it.
	That most treasured thing of my life, the most powerful, Bond, in many ways, aside from spouses, your children.
	That thing, that creature that God or nature has given to you to nurture and to raise, and then you don't nurture or raise it.
	I mean, all they're nurtured, but they're raised essentially by the state.
	Unless I have real faith that the state is going to do a good job, it's not something I would want to happen.
	Think about the power of the state, and it's insidious because it just incrementally increases until one day there's no room for you.
	Half the money you make goes to the state.
	Most of your children's time is...
	To be educated by the state.
	The state has now for almost a year told many businesses in my state they cannot operate.
	The state stopped educating your children almost a year ago.
	The state.
	The state.
	Where has the state not impinged?
	In your life.
	Whatever you have to say about taxes, the rich don't pay their fair share.
	Nobody ever has defined fair share.
	The rich pay nearly all the taxes of the country.
	When you look at the percentage, they pay 80% of the taxes or something.
	But even putting that aside, One has to work half the year for the state?
	That's not morally troubling?
	So, I raised it in the happiness hour because of the power of politics in the state.
	It's now impinging on people's happiness.
	Okay, let me take your calls.
	Thou is...
	has on thine mind.
	London, Ontario, Canada.
	Herman, hello.
	Hi, Mr. Transparent.
	How's Otto?
	I will ask him.
	I want to thank you for all the wisdom you share and your courage in fighting the left and for creating the word nestigent, which was all I heard in Joe Biden's inauguration speech.
	I'm a conservative, which means I accept reality and have a moral compass unlike the left.
	When I heard your debate topic at the Oxford Union, I literally thought to myself, you mean is that debatable?
	You're taught not to think clearly at university, to believe that the free state targeted for extinction is the barrier to peace and not the police state.
	Right.
	I got you.
	I got you.
	I want to thank you.
	I think there's a transmission problem here.
	And I appreciate that very much.
	Yes, you got those.
	The subject that I see on the board is about my view on the veil for Muslim women.
	And I've said and I believe it about the mask now for everybody.
	In one case it's religion, and in the other case it's religion.
	The religion of health.
	The religion of safetyism.
	Wear masks.
	The mask is dehumanizing.
	That's my position.
	Whether it's the veil on Muslim women or it is the mask on men and women, it is dehumanizing.
	The human is noted by his or her face.
	That's what makes us human.
	It might be right.
	It might be wrong.
	It is just a fact.
	That's what's unique.
	Our arms are not unique.
	Our torso is not unique.
	Our buttocks is not unique.
	Our face is unique.
	When it is hidden, society pays an enormous price.
	President Biden signs on his first day at work Executive orders and his video doing so, photograph doing so, and he does so wearing a mask, though he has been vaccinated.
	And then I get a call.
	I don't know if I got a chance to take it, but I saw the subject.
	I think I took it, but I don't recall now.
	That it...
	It really doesn't work that well, the vaccine, because you could still kill people or get killed yourself with the virus.
	It's a new vaccine that is that weak.
	If you wear a mask after being vaccinated, what the hell is the good of the vaccine?
	That this society doesn't realize the price paid by universal mask wearing?
	I don't wear a mask outdoors, I've told you.
	I wear a mask indoors in order to respect the wishes of the people in the store.
	So I go in with it, make no fuss.
	I will not wear it outside.
	And I await somebody to say to me, why aren't you wearing a mask?
	and I have my answer prepared because I'm rational trending and now on the

	Ought Twitter and Facebook to be shutting this down?
	I believe this is actually inimical to the world to allow this to go on.
	Ought Facebook and Twitter to shut down this propaganda?
	Well, in the midst of the pandemic in March, when Facebook and Twitter were allowing CCP apparatchiks to spread earlier conspiracy theories such that the United States Army was responsible for the outbreak of the virus, I wrote a letter to At Jack telling him that at a minimum he should kick Chinese officials off.
	His platform.
	And I think the simple standard should be if a foreign government does not allow their own citizens access to the platform, then its government officials should not have access to the platform in order to spread dangerous propaganda and dangerous conspiracy theories.
	And I think particularly at a time when these platforms are shutting down the president of the United States, the American people see an obvious double standard, one that's deeply dangerous and inimical to And I would point out what Tony Blinken said yesterday means this is not a partisan issue.

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

	Alright, let's see.
	Ben in Tucson, Arizona.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	I read some notes from your book, Men's Sexual Nature, and I just had a couple questions about it.
	Well, I didn't write a book, Men's Sexual Nature.
	I wrote an article.
	Oh, okay.
	I read a bunch of stuff from it, and I was just wondering to ask about it.
	Right.
	So, what did you have in mind?
	I'm just going to ask, like, do you really believe, like, it's that hard for, like, men to control themselves?
	Like, as a man myself, I can say, like, the general struggle that, like, you seem to describe, I don't understand, like...
	Like, it just seems really weird, you know?
	Like, because I also remember...
	Let me ask you a question.
	Why do you think that there is a law...
	Of all the commandments possible to humans, one of the ten is do not commit adultery.
	Is it mutually exclusive to males, though?
	Say it again.
	It's not mutually exclusive to males, though.
	Fine.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	That's a separate question from the one you said.
	Yes, men have to battle to control their sexual nature.
	You disagree with me on that?
	You make it sound like it's a huge deal for men to do that.
	Yes, it is a huge deal.
	That's why we have so much sexual harassment and so much rape.
	You know what happens in wartime when their laws break down?
	Do you know how many German women were raped by Russian soldiers?
	A quarter of a million.
	Yeah, that's horrible.
	Wait, but if men's sexual nature is docile, why does it happen?
	There weren't very many women on the front lines at that time.
	If you look at any of the recent wars, there are so many accounts of women raping people.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	I'm sorry.
	Wait, wait.
	I didn't understand you.
	There are so many accounts of women raping people?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Like in the war crimes at Abu Ghraib, there's lots of photos.
	And documents of women just raping people there.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Listen, I want to thank you for calling.
	Because I never mock callers, I won't say.
	I will say it in a nice way.
	We don't live in the same world.
	There is an epidemic of women raping men.
	I'm not even sure exactly how that happens.
	But okay.
	Anyway, if it wasn't a crank call, it's another ode to our educational system.
	All right, everybody.
	Douglas in Irvine, California.
	Hi.
	Hello, Dennis.
	I'd like to know, how come you aren't angry with Trump for losing the Georgia Senate races?
	How come I am or I'm not?
	How come you're not?
	I am.
	There was a...
	Well, I am.
	You are?
	I said it at the time.
	I said he's got to be preoccupied with Georgia, not with the count.
	I said that for a month before the Georgia election.
	Everything counts that was Georgia.
	Well, good.
	I'm glad to hear you say that, but now I think you should keep saying that.
	So don't you think that because he fought this lost cause of his own race...
	When he had this late break that he could have won, don't you think it's now the best thing for the Republican Party to disqualify Trump from future office?
	Of course not.
	Of course not.
	The man is not perfect.
	Why not?
	Because the man saved the Republican Party.
	The Republican Party nominated losers.
	Losers as their presidential candidate.
	Not just because they lost the election.
	They're losers.
	But look at how badly he's hurt the Republican Party now.
	Stood for nothing prior to Trump.
	I was asked in a forum.
	Don't you think that Trump was playing with fire?
	It seems like in refusing to concede the election in this country, the way it works is that the loser eventually concedes for the winner.
	Trump was playing with fire and not conceding the race.
	And when he was not conceding with race, he had every right to say he thinks he was cheated.
	And if you think it's absurd, then you think he's absurd.
	I don't think it's absurd.
	I don't know if it's true, but I don't think it's absurd.
	He had a right to say that, but nonetheless, he still should have conceded well before January 6th.
	When he saw that his cases were going nowhere, he had a right to make his cases in court.
	That's fine.
	It went nowhere.
	When it went nowhere, then he had a duty to concede the election.
	Okay, well before January 6th.
	And the reason that he had to do that was, are you referring back to Georgia, or do you think because he should be decent to the Democrats?
	I think that he should be decent to the country.
	In this country, the loser concedes to the winner.
	That's correct.
	I agree with you.
	That is the way it should be.
	Do you believe that the idea that he was cheated is nonsense?
	I think there's no good evidence for it.
	I think there is good evidence for it.
	But I still think that there's a time to concede and then pursue the evidence.
	What I would have done is, after a certain period, it is not going anywhere.
	The courts are not looking at the evidence.
	So we are...
	I would have appointed a special counsel because I don't think they could be fired by the next president to look into the honesty of the election.
	There is infinitely...
	Not infinitely.
	That's a little...
	Too overstated.
	There is exponentially more evidence for cheating and fraud in this past election than there was for collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
	So if we're going to have a special prosecutor for something that never happened, we should have a special prosecutor for something that may have happened.
	By the way, I would like to know that there wasn't cheating.
	I've said from the beginning, I hope there was no cheating.
	I hope that the president lost honestly.
	The thought that there was cheating on such a level is a source of despair to me.
	I don't want to think that.
	I don't have such a mentality.
	I don't want to think it.
	But I've asked the question that no one has been able, and the reason no one's been able is because it can't be answered.
	There is no moral compass that stops Democrats from stealing elections because they believe that their opponents are fascist, white supremacist, Nazi-like humans, especially Trump.
	Isn't it a good deed to cheat to stop such people?
	Let's get to our first sound here.
	Let's go back, let's go to Cut 36. And this was less about what, what actually the ramifications of this statement would be, because I know a lot of people are disappointed this actually never came to fruition, but it was more of, oh, he just said that, and he's not going to be restrained.

	Remember this?
	This is the moment that forever changed American politics.
	Probably the most iconic moment of his campaign before the debates with Hillary Clinton.
	No doubt.
	Without a doubt.
	And so then we also have, I think we have another clip here, of Cut 41. Listen to the promises he was making five and a half years ago.

	Don't feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they're going to grow up in is not what it used to be.
	God created them and called them for the exact moment in the time they're in.
	Their life wasn't a coincidence or an accident.
	Raise them up to know the power that they walk in as children of God.
	Train them in the authority of His Word.
	Teach them to walk in faith, knowing that God is in control.
	He knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life.
	He created them specifically for it.
	Don't be scared for your children to be honored that God chose you to parent the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime.
	Rise up to the challenge!
	God isn't scratching his head wondering what he's going to do with the mess that we're facing.
	He has an army he's raising up to drive back the darkness.
	Don't let your fears steal the greatness that God has placed in them.
	It's hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them.
	But they were born for just a time, for such a time as this.
	I love that.

	Hello.
	Hi, thank you for taking my call.
	I just wanted to tell you that I've been participating in something called Braver Angels.
	There's a website, braverangels.org, and we've been talking to each other, reds and blues, and we're finding common ground, we're uncovering I think it's a lovely
	thing.
	I'm a big advocate of kindred spirits, and I'm a big advocate of dialogue.
	So give me an example of what commonalities you have.
	You mentioned that.
	Well, it sounds kind of simplistic that we both really love the country.
	I think that initially some of us thought that the other side didn't love the country.
	Well, okay, so let me tell you my position on that and see if you can get a response there, not to trigger any animosity at all, just intellectually.
	I'd love to know.
	So my view is liberals do love the country, and leftists do not.
	I agree.
	Okay, so would they agree, you think, if you raise that?
	Quite likely, I think so.
	So you're having a dialogue with liberals?
	Some of them are maybe more left, but yeah, you're probably right.
	Right.
	No, I think it's wonderful, but I want to explain on the love of the country issue, because let's say you had a leftist or anybody, and out of sheer curiosity, you could pose the question, and I think sheer curiosity would suffice, and that is, if you think America...
	Is sexist, intolerant, bigoted, homophobic, Islamophobic, and systemically racist, how can you love it?
	Right.
	If I had those feelings towards a human, it's inconceivable I would love that human.
	So you're really having dialogues with liberals, and I think that's beautiful.
	I really do.
	By the way, I would be happy if you had dialogues with leftists.
	My yearning for your sake, for the sake of your inner peace and happiness, to have time with kindred spirits in your life does not preclude something like that.
	I think it's healthy.
	Okay.
	Let's see here.
	Joshua in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
	Hello.
	How are you doing, Dennis?
	Okay.
	I appreciate you taking my call, and I really appreciate the show, actually.
	I was just catching up on this week's show, and I was listening to Wednesday, the first hour, and you went out of your way to say that it was not insurrection, and I just think that if you value truth, that you should address that.
	Oh, you mean I should address it if I value truth?
	Yes.
	I understand an insurrection as an attempt to overthrow the government.
	I'll keep you on because I have to take a break for a commercial.
	But that's my definition of an insurrection.
	My definition of a great product is Relief Factor.
	You should, by the way, go to relieffactor.com and read.
	The testimonials of people who have been helped by it.
	In the days, you may recall this, there was a time when people came to lectures and spoke to one another seeing each other's face.
	It was a great period in American history.
	And people would tell me regularly how much they were helped by Relief Factor.
	They have a three-week quick start for $19.95 in shipping.
	Because they actually believe that you'll know within three weeks if the product relieves your muscle pain or not.
	Pretty good, eh?

	I just got a text message from Alex, which I love this.
	He said, here's some thoughts from a dad.
	Who is rocking his sleeping baby and thinking about what a crazy day it has been in our country.
	Very important text message I want to share with you if you're down about the events of today and the last few days and weeks.
	Don't feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they're going to grow up in is not what it used to be.
	God created them and called them for the exact moment in the time they're in.
	Their life wasn't a coincidence or an accident.
	That they walk in as children of God.
	Train them in the authority of His Word.
	Teach them to walk in faith, knowing that God is in control.
	He knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life.
	He created them specifically for it.
	Don't be scared for your children to be honored that God chose you to parent the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime.
	Rise up to the challenge.
	God isn't scratching His head wondering what He's going to do with...
	The mess that we're facing.
	He has an army he's raising up to drive back the darkness.
	Don't let your fears steal the greatness that God has placed in them.
	It's hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them.
	But they were born for just a time, for such a time as this.
	I love that.
	I love that.
	And I feel that way about our role here.
	Our job here is that talk radio, a show like this one, was made for a time like this.

	How determined she was to be successful that the word no really wasn't in her vocabulary.
	I was raised to not hear no.
	Let me be clear about it.
	So it wasn't like, oh, the possibilities are immense.
	Whatever you want to do, you can do.
	No, I was raised to understand many people will tell you it is impossible.
	But don't listen.
	I mentor a lot of people and I tell them that there will be people who will say it's not your turn, it's not your time, no one like you has done it.
	And I'll tell them, and don't you listen, and then I will go on to tell them, I eat no for breakfast.
	So, I was not raised saying the possibilities are endless.
	I was raised saying other people are going to tell me that my possibilities are not endless, but don't listen to them.
	That was kind of weird.
	I eat no for breakfast.
	And I'm sure she does.
	That's my point.
	Do you really think that she believes that racism...
	Is a major factor in American life?
	I mean, honestly?
	I mean, I know what she says to people.
	Do you think she and Barack Obama legitimately believe that the same country under which she became vice president, he became vice president?
	It says kindredspirits.com is taken.
	Hot Mike.
	That was the last words of Sean McConnell, ladies and gentlemen.
	The last words ever uttered by Sean McConnell were Hot Mike.
	Yep.
	There's a guy who works here at Mike.
	And he finds him hot.
	I think it's beautiful.
	It's just beautiful.
	I'm Dennis Prager and I welcome you to the show.
	And I want to get back to the man who doesn't quite, Joshua, in Florida.
	You don't agree with me that you think it was an insurrection?
	I understand insurrection, unless we have just what I call raped words of their meaning.
	An insurrection is almost always an armed rebellion.
	To overthrow the government.
	A bunch of fools posing at Nancy Pelosi's chair with an iPhone photo.
	To call that an insurrection is to cheapen the word beyond its intent.
	Okay, yeah.
	Maybe it's just semantics, Dennis.
	I'm not sure.
	I'm looking at a couple different definitions of the word, but it doesn't matter if the people were idiots.
	Right, you're right.
	It doesn't matter.
	Idiots can engage in an insurrection.
	I agree with you.
	I didn't say that's the reason it wasn't an insurrection.
	It wasn't an insurrection because it wasn't an attempt to overthrow the government.
	Well, what were they in there to do?
	Great question.
	Excellent, superb question.
	I have not gotten an answer yet.
	Then how can you say it's not an insurrection?
	Because it had no indications of an insurrection.
	Violently invading the Capitol?
	Well, violently invading...
	First of all, a lot of the early people just walked in.
	I don't know how that happened.
	I've been to the Capitol.
	I had to go through...
	A metal detector.
	You'll admit there was violence in the Capitol, right?
	Yes, I do.
	Yes, of course.
	But if every violent act against the government building is an insurrection, this is the hundredth insurrection in my lifetime.
	You're just usually so careful with your words.
	Exactly.
	And you know what?
	I never used it in Wisconsin when they took over the state Capitol for weeks and left it a wreck.
	In Madison, Wisconsin.
	When leftists took over.
	I never called it an insurrection.
	That's clearly what it was, though.
	I don't think it was.
	It was a vile action of people to disrupt government, but nobody in his right mind thought that the government of Wisconsin was being overthrown.
	Just looking at the definition of the word, though, is what I'm saying.
	Okay, all right.
	So, look.
	Words carry everything.
	That's all we have, we humans, is words.
	I mean, obviously we have actions, but I mean, the only way we can express things is through words.
	If all of these things are insurrections, then the word means nothing.
	99% of the people who went in there, I believe, were unarmed.
	It was the first unarmed insurrection of people taking photos of themselves in the history of the world.
	It was more like Abbott and Costello invade the Capitol.
	All right, that's an important subject, but the left will use any language.
	So when the left actually does take over buildings, not for a couple of hours, but for days and weeks, months in Portland and in Minneapolis, that's not an insurrection.
	People arrested for going to the rally?
	People losing their jobs?
	That's the much greater evil than what happened.
	It's this poor guy who was a musician.
	He went to the peaceful rally.
	He was sleeping during the attack on or invasion of or whatever you want to call it, the Capitol.
	The guy is now...
	Uncapable of getting a job in the music industry?
	Did we ever do that to anybody on the left?
	Can't attend a peaceful rally supporting Trump?
	That's what they want.
	Anyone who has anything to do with Trump, who had anything to do, should be persona non grata in a country where 74 million people voted for that man.
	There is no meanness like left-wing meanness.
	I've known it my whole life.
	I've known it since I was in graduate school.
	I saw the left-wing kids take over the university.
	I knew they were thugs.
	They were mean thugs.
	I have always had great antennae for who was kind and who is mean, who was cruel.
	It's one of the things that pushed me away from the left.
	Cruelty is endemic to the left.
	Yep, look at Schumer.
	Look at Schiff.
	They have, over the course of time, become bad people.
	Not because I disagree with them.
	Because they have become bad people.
	The ease with which Schiff lies is pathologic.
	Much greater than the so-called liar-in-chief.
	There's no comparison in that arena.
	But the press lies with him, so it's okay.
	I don't like cruel people.
	It's one of the reasons I loathe the left.
	Okay, anyway, I appreciate that call.
	And let's go to your next call here.
	Okay, Rich, Pasadena, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thank you for all that you do.
	Thank you.
	I'm really enjoying Genesis, but I want to talk about Still the Best Hope.
	Okay.
	I'm in Altadena, by the way, not Pasadena.
	All right.
	Still the best hope, I just sent a copy to a friend, and the American Trinity of Liberty and God We Trust in E Pluribus Unum, I love your teaching on that.
	I think all of us, but especially young people, could use your thoughts, maybe even a PragerU or Ultimate Issues Hour, on the relationship between equality.
	And liberty, as it might relate to that American Trinity, because equality is certainly part of the American founding.
	Yes, equality of birth and equality before the law, but not equality of result.
	That's the French Revolution.
	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.

	And I was just waiting for that ten-second attempt where the incoming president would have said, Stops now.
	We're not going to demonize Americans because of their skin color.
	We're not going to say the National Guard is 90% white males, therefore they're a domestic threat, and we're not going to have a cancel culture on anybody who votes Republican.
	Am I dreaming?
	Are we condemned for the next four years to see even more cancel culture as somebody who's in the...
	Bloodstream of the media, what should we prepare for?
	I don't know if I'm in the bloodstream anymore, but I've certainly spent a lot of years in it.
	And I do think we are in for that.
	I think, you know, Chris Wallace was saying that the Joe Biden speech was the most, it was like the greatest he's ever heard, the most unifying.
	Yeah, okay, so, look, I appreciate the politics doesn't always have to be a blood spore, that kind of thing.
	That's fine.
	That's good messaging.
	But the race...
	Sort of messaging throughout, which is divisive.
	It's very divisive.
	Just telegraph to his supporters and everybody that they're going to double and triple down on this.
	I mean, we're stuck with this narrative about white supremacy and about all Trump supporters being essentially Klansmen.
	That is what they believe.
	Not just from them, but from the media.
	And I really think, you know, that if people don't start standing up and challenging this, and I know it's easy for you and me, we have platforms, we have microphones, but I mean, Civilian, regular people need to start standing up and saying, just stop.
	I'm not going to let you do that to me, to my company, to my country.
	I am not going to let you reduce the discussion to divisiveness.
	Okay, everybody.
	I can't believe it.
	The man who called up to correct me was right.
	I do love what I'm doing.
	I've always said that, and I never lose gratitude and appreciation for it.
	The key to happiness is gratitude, as I've often said, but you have to consciously work at it because it's so easy to take things for granted.
	To take your health for granted, to take your loved ones for granted.
	Whatever is good in your life, granted.
	It's very easy.
	The battle against one's nature is the great battle of life.
	That's what was taught to Americans when it was a Bible-centered education.
	With the death of the Bible as the center of education, people have just become stupid.
	The higher their education, the stupider they are.
	The battle is not with America.
	The battle is with one's nature.
	That's the difference between the conservative and the leftist.
	The liberal is not sure.
	What's your greatest battle?
	You raise your kid to understand his or her greatest battle is with his or her nature.
	Then I know I have met somebody who has a chance at a successful life.
	A person who knows that they have to battle their nature.
	Yep, yes indeed.
	All right, everybody, let me summarize some calls here as we hit the final moments of the show for this week.
	Jeremy in Minneapolis, Biden seems to be putting unity as the top priority.
	I wish I'd have taken that call earlier.
	The man who talks about white supremacists and terrorists in the U.S. during his address and then signs 17 or whatever it is.
	Executive orders, most of which are completely non-unifying.
	Anyway, I did a whole thing on unity.
	Unity is a phony issue.
	Everybody who wants unity, I want unity too.
	I want unity based on the values I hold.
	That's what Biden wants.
	So that's why it's not honest.
	Let's see here.
	Yes, Mark in Scottsdale.
	Do I know the Great Reset is being pushed by the International Monetary Fund?
	I actually went to the IMF and there's...
	That's right, there's a push for the Great Reset.
	That's correct.
	Irma in California made her morning, how I compared Abbott and Costello to what happened at the Capitol.
	Good, you made my morning.
	Steve, Roger, Mona, Juliet, and to all of you, I look forward to being with you on Monday.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
