=== Fight For A Good Weekend (04:53) ===

[00:00:00]  Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager and I welcome you to the show that is named after me.
[00:00:08]  Well, that's something in life, isn't it?
[00:00:11]  A show named after yourself.
[00:00:13]  I hope you have a good weekend.
[00:00:15]  That is my normal Monday greeting to you.
[00:00:19]  A lot of people aren't having good weekends.
[00:00:21]  Let's be clear.
[00:00:23]  You have to fight to make a good weekend.
[00:00:26]  Notice that the news is that we have peaked.
[00:00:29]  Have you heard that?
[00:00:31]  That we've sort of peaked and things are getting better.
[00:00:35]  That's a lot of different take.
[00:00:39]  It's like CNN. Why did CNN stop?
[00:00:42]  Oh yeah, didn't they stop announcing?
[00:00:44]  They had a board with the number of deaths.
[00:00:46]  Are you familiar with that?
[00:00:48]  And then it's no longer on.
[00:00:49]  Is that correct?
[00:00:50]  There's not a rumor.
[00:00:52]  I don't like broadcasting any rumors.
[00:00:55]  You have to rely on me, be able to rely on me, for the absolute accuracy.
[00:01:02]  But anyway, it wouldn't be surprising if that were to happen.
[00:01:08]  It's very hard to know what you begin with.
[00:01:10]  I'll tell you what I'm preoccupied with right now.
[00:01:19]  And it's not the impeachment.
[00:01:22]  Fiasco, which I will obviously address.
[00:01:25]  It is the pipeline, the XL pipeline.
[00:01:30]  The number of jobs ruined for no, truly, literally no good reason.
[00:01:37]  It's worse.
[00:01:38]  I'm sorry?
[00:01:39]  It's worse because it's going to get more dangerous.
[00:01:42]  No, and of course shipping crude oil will be more dangerous.
[00:01:48]  On MSNBC, of all places, they had an interview with the premier, that's what they call their governors of their provinces, the premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney.
[00:02:00]  And before I get to him, I just want you to understand, even the State Department, they had review after review under the Obama administration, and everybody knew it was good policy.
[00:02:15]  It was good for Canada.
[00:02:16]  It was good for the United States.
[00:02:19]  It was good for the consumer.
[00:02:21]  It was good for tens of thousands of workers.
[00:02:25]  There is no more fanatical movement, although I'm not sure that that's true.
[00:02:31]  Well, yes, I am sure.
[00:02:32]  There's no more fanatical movement.
[00:02:35]  There are equally fanatical movements to the environmentalists.
[00:02:38]  These people are crazed.
[00:02:42]  I regard them...
[00:02:44]  As essentially soulless.
[00:02:47]  And they need to fill that vacuum with some passion.
[00:02:52]  So they have a passion for ending any use of fossil fuels.
[00:03:00]  But they don't advocate nuclear power.
[00:03:03]  So it's all a moral and intellectual fraud.
[00:03:07]  There is clean energy, but they're opposed to it.
[00:03:10]  They have this romantic vision.
[00:03:13]  Of windmills throughout the world, those ugly, gigantic users of space, of rural areas, hopefully.
[00:03:24]  Who knows if they'll get more urban.
[00:03:26]  And that and the sun will just power us.
[00:03:32]  Of course, there will be some other crisis then.
[00:03:35]  My whole life, the left has created crises.
[00:03:39]  Life could have been in this United States.
[00:03:43]  Remarkably calm.
[00:03:46]  But the left is composed of people who hate calm.
[00:03:51]  Any of you who have a drama queen or a drama king in your family knows exactly what I'm talking about.
[00:04:00]  Calm drives them crazy.
[00:04:02]  There is no meaning to life if there is no excitement.
[00:04:09]  So they create excitement because their lives are boring.
[00:04:14]  That's the environmentalist movement, and it will destroy people's jobs.
[00:04:18]  It is composed of overwhelmingly upper middle class and upper class white people.
[00:04:24]  Isn't that interesting?
[00:04:27]  Because they're the most comfortable, generally speaking, in the society.
[00:04:32]  So they could afford to waste their time.
[00:04:35]  They could afford to put people out of work, just as Newsom could afford to put all the restaurants out of business.
[00:04:41]  These people aren't hurt by their policies.
[00:04:45]  It's one of the definitions of a left-wing politician.
[00:04:49]  Those who are not hurt by their policies, that hurt millions of others.
