	Thank you.
	Welcome.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Thank you, Bob France.
	You are terrific.
	As it says...
	He did?
	Oh, wow.
	Oh, technical stuff yesterday between you and Cleveland?
	He fought through it?
	Bob France, the guy...
	Sitting in for me, to begin with, you should get a Purple Heart.
	At the very least.
	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	The reason I took off, aside from the fact that I get days off, it's part of my contract, is I am in the final week.
	I can't believe it.
	I really can't.
	But I'm in the final week of the third volume of my Rational Bible.
	I think you can pre-order it on Amazon.
	Are you aware?
	Can you take a look, see if it is pre-orderable?
	Last time you looked, I think it's coming out in the summer.
	Huh?
	I thought it was later, before Christmas.
	Be that as it may, it's not possible for me to adequately tell you how much work.
	Sorry?
	You can't pre-order it?
	Good.
	I'm telling you, it's life-changing stuff.
	There were 2,400 reviews of my...
	First two volumes.
	And this is the third.
	And we're very good.
	It's working.
	We're raising the microphone.
	November, sorry?
	November 9 is the release date?
	Yes, indeed.
	It's going to be over next week.
	What do I do to celebrate?
	You know, it's so interesting.
	Have any of you been, I'm sure many of you, it's a silly way of putting it, I don't know how many of you have been involved in a massive project, massive, really intense work for years, and then it's done.
	And, you know, my attitude toward life is don't get too high, don't get too low.
	So that's what's going to happen.
	I won't get too high.
	It'll be over.
	I'll be able to actually clean out my desk area, which my wife describes as an archaeological dig.
	And there is truth to that.
	If you really dig under any given pile on my desk, you might find a Christian Science Monitor from 2006. Is the Christian Science Monitor still in business?
	How come we never see columns from it or articles?
	I mean, you can't do everything.
	Anyway, everybody, welcome to the show where I'm just reading Coca-Cola, one of the biggest companies, has notified its law firms that it will not do business with them unless they are properly diversified.
	May I say that the aim of diversity over merit is not only injurious to any given profession, that's obvious to anybody, but it's very un-American.
	What it says to you is hard work doesn't pay, minority status pays.
	And that's the message of Coca-Cola.
	At this point, there are so many companies that are ruining the society that to boycott all of them would mean you would buy very few products.
	So, it just came out, and I am very curious.
	My first question was, what does it even mean?
	What will they do?
	They'll have to submit reports, is that correct?
	To Coca-Cola.
	Coke sets diversity targets, financial penalties.
	For outside lawyers.
	Coca-Cola said it will require diversity among law firms who bill it for work in the United States and reduce payments if they don't comply.
	The beverage giant's general counsel, a recent hire from the top ranks of four, disclosed the changes in a letter.
	To law firms the company uses.
	Quite simply, we are no longer interested in discussing motivations, programs, or excuses for little to no progress.
	It's the results that we are demanding and will measure going forward, Bradley Gayton wrote.
	He told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he hopes other major companies make similar moves to change the trajectory of diversity in the field.
	Okay.
	Well, there you go.
	By the way, you notice the new word is very important.
	There's a new switch.
	Equality has been dropped like global warming has been dropped.
	Now, those of you who pay very serious attention to my show know exactly what the new word is.
	It's equity.
	Equity is equality of result.
	Equality is equality of opportunity and of being created by our creator, equal.
	Yes, indeed, y'all.
	I mentioned something to you a couple of days ago that is so important and, of course, therefore not reported.
	Most important news is not reported by the mainstream media.
	It's a phenomenon.
	Danish Prime Minister sets target of zero asylum seekers to protect social cohesion.
	Denmark's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, don't you like it?
	Isn't that nice?
	Mette Frederiksen.
	Of course, I said it with a Hungarian accent, so it doesn't work.
	Has set a target of zero new asylum seekers as our government's new goal...
	Citing concerns that too many migrants will affect the social cohesion of the country.
	The Danish Prime Minister stated her goal on Friday at the Danish Folketing, saying, We cannot promise zero asylum seekers, but we can set out the vision that we also did before the elections.
	By the way, she's a Social Democrat.
	See, another thing very important to understand, Is that the left in English-speaking countries is to the left of the left in European countries.
	In Europe, on the continent, they do not have any, what shall we say, movement toward telling people men give birth.
	In France, men give birth would be laughed at.
	In Denmark...
	Germany.
	They don't have that.
	We have that.
	So, if...
	This is a social democrat, I repeat.
	If anybody, left or right in the United States, said what she said, the Prime Minister of Denmark, which is always offered as one of the happiest countries on earth, a model society.
	The left holds Denmark as a model society.
	They would be regarded as racist and xenophobic.
	She went on to add that too few past politicians had done enough to integrate migrants.
	They had made too few demands on them.
	Prime Minister Fredrickson stated that migrants must be able to support themselves financially and adapt to Danish values.
	I want to offer you a thought that might...
	I cheer some of you.
	There is some fight, yet left, in not allowing the left to destroy the West.
	And by the way, I never engage in hyperbole.
	The left wants to destroy the West.
	I don't understand why that is even controversial, that the left wants to destroy the West.
	Hey, hey, ho, ho, Weston Civ has got to go!
	Remember that?
	Jesse Jackson leading this march at Stanford, what, in the 90s?
	Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Civ has got to go.
	They don't hide it, so if I announce it, don't think, oh my God, that this is exaggerating or over the top.
	No.
	They acknowledge it.
	Western civilization is white supremacy.
	When President Trump went to Warsaw and gave a speech, and it was one of the greatest speeches given by a president in my lifetime.
	Defending Western civilization, it was stated in the mainstream media in America, this was a white supremacist speech to defend the West.
	We must be careful, there are not too many coming to our country, otherwise our cohesion cannot exist, it's already challenged.
	This is Denmark.
	And the Democratic Party in the United States is way to the left of the Social Democrats of Denmark.
	The thought of, what is it?
	Cohesion?
	Cohesion?
	It's a racist term for the left.
	Last year, Prime Minister Frederick said highlighted crimes committed by non-Western migrant men.
	Wow.
	When Donald Trump did that, declared racist.
	We shall return.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	You were the head of the USA agency for global media, which is over the voice of America doing doing your job in the Trump administration.
	Voice of America put out a video that you just showed me asking people basically to vote for Joe Biden, asking Muslims to vote for Joe Biden.
	How is it possible that that happened?
	During the Trump administration, because it is the most partisan thing I've ever seen.
	The Voice of America and the others are required by law to be objective, balanced and comprehensive.
	So we were shocked to find the video you referred to that was produced by the Urdu service, which is supposed to target Pakistan.
	And it was, in fact, just a really repackaged Biden ad appealing to voters in Michigan, not so much Pakistan, to swing the vote for Biden.
	We, in fact, found out about it because of a whistleblower leak.
	And as soon as we found out about it, it had been up for an entire week, really.
	We asked the irreduce service to take it down, which they did.
	Then we did something sort of unique in VOA and USAGM history.
	We wanted to hold accountable those people responsible for breaking the law.
	Old accountable?
	Yes, right.
	Shocking.
	What do you think this is?
	1975?
	Come on, man.
	Well, that's right.
	So we initiated it.
	We got the HR department and our internal people to do an investigation, and some of the people were disciplined.
	Some were fired.
	Some had things written into their files.
	Some were put on leave.
	All the way up.
	But oddly enough, you will not be surprised, Eric, they claim that was a violation of their rights.

	Trending now on the Larry Elder Show.
	Farrakhan lives in a mansion.
	Sharpton.
	We know he made a boatload of money because he was $5 million light in taxes, according to the New York Times at one point.
	For you to get $5 million light in taxes...
	says you have to make a boatload of money.
	How is it that America is intrinsically, foundationally, endemically, structurally, institutionally racist, but these guys get a pass, but I'm the guy the man's going to come after when the man gets mad?
	Really?
	And again, According to Van Jones, this is all about a white lash because of a changing country, right?
	I mean, we've talked about everything but race tonight.
	We've talked about income.
	We've talked about class.
	We've talked about region.
	We haven't talked about race.
	This was a white lash.
	This was a white lash against a changing country.
	It was a white lash against a black president in part.
	And that's the part where the pain comes.
	And Donald Trump has a responsibility tonight.
	To come out and reassure people that he is going to be the president of all the people who he insulted and offended.
	So it's a white lash on the part of insecure, scared white people because of a changing America.
	America that demographically is changing.
	Well, America has changed demographically from 2016 to 2020. So wouldn't Donald Trump therefore get a higher percentage of this paranoid white male vote instead of a smaller percentage?
	He's down 4 percentage points among white males compared to 2016. Is this thing on?
	I thought it was a white lash against white people afraid of changing the country.
	The country is still changing. - Evidence, does everyone generally agree that this thing is a sham now?
	I think so, but there's another question.
	nothing Hello, my friends.
	I want to remind you about a sponsor that is going to improve your health.
	I, as you know, I'm a big one on taking care of yourself so that you don't have to go to a hospital, so that you don't have to go to a doctor other than for a checkup.
	And I knock wood.
	Knock, in fact, anything you wish to knock.
	But you can't knock my results.
	It's half luck.
	I fully acknowledge that.
	And half, I work on myself.
	One of the things that I do is Navage, N-A-V-A-G-E. It's a brilliant product.
	Little tiny apparatus that you put in your nose and you clean out your nasal passages and your sinuses.
	It's mind-bogglingly effective.
	You've got to learn how to use it.
	It takes a couple of times and then you're great.
	Some people get it the first time.
	It's at navage.com or available at...
	Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Bed, Bath& Beyond, and Target.
	Navage.com There is some speculation.
	I'll have more on it on Monday.
	A little speculation about...
	They're gingerly starting to admit in social media and...
	Among doctors that you've been lied to about the ill effects of hydroxychloroquine and that it doesn't work.
	I told you the medical establishment has killed about 100,000 Americans.
	That's a big thing for me to say.
	I could lose a lot of credibility if I'm wrong.
	But they should lose a lot of credibility if they're wrong, right?
	One of us should lose credibility.
	I understand the consequences of making such a charge.
	Who is it, Dr. Risch, epidemiologist at Yale?
	He said that they're responsible for hundreds of thousands of the deaths.
	200,000.
	If your doctor would not give you hydroxychloroquine, this is what I have to say.
	Your doctor did not do research.
	And that is...
	I have done more research than most of America's doctors.
	That's a crime.
	How to keep you safe in case you get COVID in the early stages.
	And even the study that just came out from New Jersey where they gingerly admit that it worked.
	One out of five, I think I memorized it, one out of five people who were given hydroxychloroquine in the early stages was admitted to a hospital.
	One out of three that was not given it went to the hospital.
	That's a big difference.
	And by the way, it drives me crazy.
	None of it mentions zinc.
	That's like X number of people got into a house and X number didn't, but nobody used a key.
	Hydroxychloroquine is a key to, well, let's put it this way, the door is the cell.
	The hydroxychloroquine gets you up to the lock, and zinc gets you in.
	It's not a bad, I think in terms of pictures.
	Please.
	Is the Denmark article up at dennisprager.com?
	It should be.
	Okay.
	So this is what the Prime Minister of Denmark said.
	One in five young men from non-Western backgrounds, born in 1997, had breached the penal code before the age of 21. One in five.
	She repeated, one in five.
	Guess who the young men from non-Western backgrounds in Denmark are?
	Are they Buddhists from Thailand?
	To the best of my knowledge, they're not.
	They're overwhelmingly Muslims who came in.
	As refugees.
	Some of them are wonderful people.
	But a disproportionate number of them are not.
	And they don't share Western values.
	But to the left in America, Western values stink.
	So it's great to have more people who don't have Western values.
	Get it?
	It's nothing new, and that's the problem.
	It's been going on for too many years.
	Girls are called derogatory things because they're Danish.
	Or girls are subjected to social control because they have become too Danish.
	That's Muslim girls.
	Don't you dare assimilate into Danish society.
	Don't you dare marry a Dane.
	A sausage cart in Branschach was attacked with firecrackers because it sells pork.
	This is the Prime Minister speaking.
	Minister for Immigration and Integration Matthias Tesfey Spoke about the need to confront political Islam in Denmark, saying, Denmark doesn't have to adapt to Islam.
	Islam must adapt to Denmark.
	I read this to you.
	It's rare that I read an article twice to you.
	That is how important this is.
	It's symbolic of something that is happening even in America.
	We're fighting back against the left's destruction of whether it's Denmark or the United States.
	There is fight in us.
	I was told by someone very high up at PragerU meeting with donors in Colorado, and his report to me was, these people are fighting.
	There was a fear that the election or non-election, but the assumption of the presidency by President Biden, by Joe Biden, Just knock the wind out of conservative sails.
	Au contraire.
	It has given impetus to conservative sails.
	There are too many of us who love this country and its values.
	So, I needed you to know that.
	That's the way that one works.
	Yep.
	By the way, whatever your position on the hedge fund issue, you can't deny there is fight going on.
	There is the Reddit people who, at the very least, what they did, and I'm not going to get into this in detail now, but what they did at the very least is show corruption in this company, Robinhood, which is a, what are they called, brokerage house?
	I mean, to manipulate stocks that way, you can't undo the hedge fund's profits?
	My point in this is there is fight in this country.
	Americans don't all lie supine, which is redundant.
	Supine is to lie down.
	Whether it's doctors or any other group, teachers are the worst.
	I'm sorry to say it because I venerate the profession so dearly and there are some exceptions, but mostly it's a combination of cowardice and leftism.
	I'm not sure you want your kids in that classroom.
	Thank you.
	Let's play the montage of Jen Psaki just in the last week.
	She's got a lot.
	I don't know if she ever circled back to any of these questions.
	Could you imagine if Kayleigh McEnany would have been just saying something like this play tape?
	I'll circle back if there's more I can share with you.
	I'll circle back with you if there's more to convey.
	I'll have to just circle back with you.
	We can circle back.
	I'm happy to circle back with you.
	I can circle back.
	I will have to circle back on that one.
	That's an excellent question.
	Oh, such an important question.
	We will circle back with you and we'll circle back with you.
	It's an interesting question, but we'll circle back.
	I'm happy to circle back, but I'll have to circle back with you on it.
	It's a good question, but we'll circle back with you on this today.
	We will certainly circle back with you more directly.
	That's one week.
	She's got a lot of circling back to do.
	Maybe we should circle back with her on whether or not she circled back on any of those questions.
	I'd like to know if she actually circled back with this.
	And look, one of the reasons why, and Isabel, you made this point in the break, there's just kind of this clumsiness to how to answer these questions, is we need to ask themselves, ask Jen Psaki and the White House, why are you there?
	What is your mandate?
	Actually, by pursuing the impeachment and conviction of Trump, they are pursuing the one mandate they told themselves.
	Right.
	Their entire objective on the campaign trail was to get rid of Donald Trump, whatever it took.
	And then once we get there, we'll kind of figure out what we want to do once we're in office.
	And you're seeing that so perfectly reflected in these daily press briefings, which kudos to them for having, by the way, starting on day one.
	It is great to see a public face of the administration, but her inability to answer any question virtually to a full extent.
	Just goes to show that they're still figuring out what they want to do.
	And also, it's just, that's exactly right.
	And the mandate to govern is missing.

	Trending now on The Larry Alder Show.
	You said I call MSNBC names.
	I call them MSNBC hee-haw because I think a lot of their hosts are pretty silly.
	But you think that's really cruel and mean and nasty?
	It's the same thing as calling somebody a fascist or Hitler or a dictator or a Nazi the way Donald Trump often is referred to, Mark?
	Is that the same?
	Since his actions are that way, probably yes.
	What has Donald Trump done that, in your view, makes him a Nazi or a fascist, Mark, please?
	Okay, well...
	We don't need a lot.
	He's been around four years.
	Just give me one example of what makes you believe that Donald Trump is a fascist, or that when people say that, that's an accurate term.
	Hey, I know you're going to disagree, but when George Duke...
	I mean, Duke...
	David Duke?
	David Duke?
	It took him months.
	You can't even remember his name.
	That's fascinating, Mark.
	The reason you can't remember his name is because the only time he's relevant is when somebody's running for election.
	No one's mentioned David Duke since Joe Biden got elected.
	The only time he's brought up is when a Republican's running for election and then the Democrats compare him or her to David Duke.
	You can't even think of his name.
	I think it's pretty telling.
	And what about the Proud Boys?
	He's the lead.
	Do you know any Proud Boys, Mark?
	You ever seen one?
	You know who they are?
	Where they are?
	Talk to me.
	I don't either.
	Mark, have you ever seen a white supremacist?
	Of course you don't.
	Of course you don't, Mark, because you're a decent guy and most people in America are decent and don't associate with people like that.
	That's why it's so ridiculous that Donald Trump is asked to denounce somebody that nobody associates with, Mark.
	It's foolish.
	That's why I'm angry at the left.
	Thanks for calling, though, Mark.

	for being with me everything the left touches it ruins and the next thing is the Middle East peace process the advancement toward peace in the Middle East thanks to Donald Trump was unprecedented except for the agreements reached in the Carter era we've had four Muslim
	countries recognizing Israel, including, let's see, it was the, what is it, United Arab Emirates?
	Who specifically?
	Was it Bahrain?
	Which, no.
	United Arab Emirates.
	UAE, and Morocco, and Sudan on that list, which is an Arab country, and then a fourth.
	This was all thanks to Donald Trump doing a whole host of things, making it clear Israel's here to stay, and dropping support of the Palestinian Authority, which is even more corrupt.
	It's hard to be more corrupt.
	I'm sorry to say it's hard to be more corrupt than Joe Biden.
	I don't know why the Palestinian...
	Government is more corrupt than Joe Biden, whose family became millionaires because he was in office.
	There's no other reason.
	It's so interesting that all the names called for four years toward Donald Trump and the utter defense by the media of the Biden regime and Biden, the man.
	He's just Uncle Joe.
	It's a bad term to use because that was the term they used for Stalin.
	Uncle Joe.
	It's not a nickname I would want.
	So what does he do with all the peace going on in the Middle East?
	He ruins it.
	Biden administration reestablishes diplomatic ties with Palestinian Authority.
	Why?
	You think there will be one reporter who will ask the At a news conference, I'll ask that question, why did we reestablish ties with the Palestinians?
	Well, I don't even know the answer that they would give.
	Where is this from?
	What's PM? Do you know?
	It's the article you sent me here.
	The Biden administration announced Tuesday...
	They would be restoring diplomatic relations with the Palestinian Authority.
	Times of Israel reports, as part of the reestablishment of relations, the United States will be restoring diplomatic aid to the Palestinian Authority, a move which has been heavily criticized by pro-Israel groups.
	It's so amazing the way these people write it.
	Oh, what about pro-American groups?
	Pro-Israel groups.
	If you criticize policy in the Middle East, it's because you're pro-Israel.
	Which is fine.
	To be pro-Israel is rather honorable in the Middle East dispute.
	But nevertheless, it's just the way they characterize things.
	Critics of the decision warn U.S. diplomatic aid may go toward the Palestinian policy if pay for slay.
	Whereby the Palestinian Authority pays the families of terrorists who murder Israeli civilians.
	The Trump administration had previously cut off significant amounts of diplomatic aid to the Palestinian Authority due to this pay-for-slay policy, saying that the aid would be restored when the Palestinians abandoned that practice.
	However, the Biden administration does not appear to have concerns about that fiscal policy.
	That's a deeply moral position to take, isn't it?
	Yes, it's amazing.
	It's just amazing.
	Okay, now, did you hear anything about putting a fence around the Capitol?
	Is this a valid news story?
	It's really a tragedy.
	It's a tragedy.
	Everything the left touches, it ruins.
	The hysteria over what happened, and I condemned it within an hour.
	We have recorded proof that I did.
	As the show was ending, I heard it, and as soon as it was over, I promoted my condemnation, which went to all the stations that broadcast my show.
	Republicans condemned this within an hour or two.
	Most Democrats didn't even condemn the riots of the summer, the far more destructive riots, until months later, Joe Biden, five days.
	Ladies and gentlemen, if you have muscle pain or joint pain, The Talbots, it's a father and son team.
	Pete and Seth Talbot are on a mission.
	And that is to reduce people's pain.
	These guys are committed Christians.
	I've met them.
	And I'm a Jew and I admire that fact.
	But it's irrelevant.
	I don't care if they were atheists.
	The question is, does it work?
	And it works.
	Try for three weeks, as you will know within three weeks if it does work.
	So they give you a special price to try it out.

	I mean, we've talked about everything but race tonight.
	We've talked about income.
	We've talked about class.
	We've talked about region.
	We haven't talked about race.
	This was a white lash.
	This was a white lash against a changing country.
	It was a white lash against a black president in part.
	And that's the part where the pain comes.
	And Donald Trump has a responsibility. - The only thing that he's been doing is to take a step forward. - The only thing that he's been doing is to take a step forward. - The only thing that he's been doing is to take a step forward. - The only thing that he's been doing is to take a step forward.

	- Ah, very nice.
	Hi, y'all.
	Friday already.
	Everything...
	Well, not everything.
	There's no such thing.
	So much has been done out of hysteria, like all the lockdowns.
	Why is the lockdown being lifted to a certain extent?
	We can now have outdoor dining in California.
	Why is that?
	There are more people...
	With the virus than ever.
	If that's their criterion, why are they opening up?
	You know why?
	Because Joe Biden's president.
	They destroyed vast numbers of people's incomes to...
	That is, they being Democrats, to win the election.
	That's right.
	So they destroyed businesses for political reasons, and they destroyed lives, at least 100,000 in my opinion, because they crusaded against hydroxychloroquine.
	If you tweet, I wonder if you can tweet today that you can get hydroxychloroquine and protect yourself.
	I'd like to try it out.
	The social media company Companies are a disgrace to American history.
	The hydroxychloroquine issue was a clear example.
	There were doctors who called the show, I remember, one Ohio, I believe, and one Florida, called Dr. Zelenko a quack.
	I hope these doctors have some religion because they have a vehicle for penitence.
	The medical establishment has disgraced itself.
	Continues to.
	Hacks.
	Oh, it's okay to...
	It's okay...
	You've got to social distance, but it's okay to demonstrate in the tens of thousands against racism because that makes the country healthier.
	Remember?
	They actually...
	Thousands of people in the sciences said that.
	You know what we have?
	And this is a major help to the left.
	We have amnesia.
	There is daily amnesia.
	And I mean it almost literally, because I don't mean it physiologically, but it works like it's physiological.
	People forget what happened.
	People are so in the now.
	That if it happened last week, it's not relevant, let alone if it happened 500 years ago.
	That's why history, the most important subject, arguably, is not taught.
	It doesn't matter what happened.
	Right?
	This is how the left sustains itself in the hope that people will forget what it has done.
	And they're right.
	It is a hope that is realized on a regular basis.
	We had a hydroxychloroquine call, and they gave up.
	It's the way it goes.

	Joshua, hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	I'm a first-time caller.
	I'm very excited.
	You're my favorite radio show.
	Thank you very much.
	Of course.
	I wanted to ask you, I, I'm sure like you, have family members that voted for Joe Biden, and sir, I'm struggling.
	I don't know whether to talk to them about it or not.
	What do you gain by talking about it?
	I'm just afraid that if I try to talk to them, that it'll be a shouting match, but I have a desire to understand.
	It's all emotional.
	It's very hard to understand emotions.
	It's indoctrination and emotion.
	They believe that he was a fascist, that Donald Trump was a fascist, white supremacist, neo-Nazi.
	So, what are you going to say?
	You live in delusion?
	I don't want you to insult your relatives.
	That's why my first question was, what do you gain?
	Right.
	That's a very good question.
	Yes, that should always be asked.
	What is the end result?
	To believe that reason and morality would have an impact on their thinking.
	But it won't.
	That's very true.
	Yes.
	I don't know anybody on the left, including Never Trumpers, who have come to their positions for rational reasons.
	They sound rational in the sense that they can create sentences That are intellectually sound.
	They sound intellectually sound.
	But it's all emotion.
	So you can't undo emotion with reason.
	Just love them up and, you know, find kindred spirits to share your values with.
	Now, what you might do, which is, listen.
	I love you, and I don't want that to be at risk.
	So, but if you, I'm talking to you, Joshua, but if you, Joshua, have this deep yearning to dialogue on social issues, political issues, make a deal with them.
	Hey, listen, you send me something once a week that I should watch or read, and I'll send you something once a week.
	That I'd like you to watch or read.
	That way, they could blow it off when they read it, if they really do, or watch it.
	But beyond that, look, you don't choose your relatives, you choose your friends.
	Okay?
	Thank you so much, sir.
	God bless.
	God bless you.
	you thank you having said all of that and I stand by that and I live by that I have devoted my life to using reason and morality to change minds Because a lot of people are open.
	When people tell me, you know, Dennis, you changed my life, I tell them with 100% honesty, you get half the credit.

	His name is Michael Packy.
	He's been on this program before because he was behind what can only be described as a spectacular documentary film about Clarence Thomas.
	It was on PBS, which is as good...
	As the film.
	In other words, as good as the film is, the fact that it was on PBS is perhaps, frankly, better than the film.
	It's outstanding that it was able to be aired on PBS. Michael Pack, welcome.
	Thank you very much, Eric.
	And let me remind your viewers and listeners, they can still see it.
	It's streaming.
	It's on Amazon and iTunes and many other platforms.
	And it is a great film.
	I agree with you, Eric.
	Would you drop the title for us, please?
	It's called Created Equal, Clarence Thomas in His Own Words.
	The fact, Michael, that you were able to get it on PBS, that's really the big news because there's a lot of great stuff out there that doesn't find mainstream distribution.
	The fact that PBS... Viewers got to see the other side of the story, so to speak, was astounding.
	What's the secret there?
	Well, that's true.
	That was always very important to us, not just to preach to the choir.
	And, well, I have been making documentaries for PBS for over 30 years, and there have been more than 15 that have been aired nationally.
	And I have to say, in defense of PBS, that they have always been enthusiastic about this film.
	It's Justice Thomas telling a story directly to camera based on 30 hours of interview.
	Time with him.
	Unprecedented.
	It was a coup at every level for PBS. I hope that they would still air it now, now that we've entered an even more polarizing time.
	Oh, yeah.
	I hope so, but I'm not so sure.
	Here's a question that she should have circled back on.
	Let's go to cut 63. Is the White House concerned about the stock market activity we're seeing around GameStop?
	And have there been any conversations with the SEC about how to proceed?
	Happy to repeat that we have the first female Treasury Secretary and a team that's surrounding her and often questions about market, we'll send to them.
	But our team is, of course, our economic team, including Secretary Yellen and others, are monitoring the situation.
	It's a good reminder, though, that the stock market isn't the only measure of the health of our economy.
	It doesn't reflect how working and middle class families are doing.
	Okay, so I'm going to say something, and I don't want this to be misunderstood, but Isabel can help clarify it for me.
	It's completely and totally irrelevant to the question whether or not Janet Yellen is a woman.
	And by the way, I thought you don't believe in women or men.
	Right.
	I find it so ironic the left is so excited.
	We have our first female- Okay, y'all, I got a lot of great calls.
	Very painful thing here.
	It's a painful part of my job.
	Okay, Bob Springfield, Illinois.
	Hello.
	Hi, Mr. Prager.
	You know, I continue to be amazed at the extent to which you cannot be taken seriously on the subject of what unfolded at the Capitol on January 6th.
	And further evidence in support of that...
	Is the fact that you were just talking about how it's the left that conveniently forgets recent history.
	I am struck by the dissonance with which you ignore the fact that Kevin McCarthy himself said, just three weeks ago, said the president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by a mob of rioters.
	He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw it was unfolding.
	But now Mr. McCarthy has conveniently forgotten that recent history, hasn't he, sir?
	Okay, so let me explain the comment that I made.
	There were six months of spectacularly damaging whole downtown areas were destroyed.
	They're incomparably longer and worse than what happened at the Capitol.
	Whether Kevin McCarthy has changed his mind or not is irrelevant to my comment.
	What the left did to this country in 2020 was so much worse than what happened at the Capitol, which I found foolish, stupid, wrong, and immoral.
	Okay?
	And said so.
	But it's dwarfed by the destruction in BLM and Antifa-type riots all over this country.
	Okay?
	That's it.
	That's a fact.
	Let me summarize some calls here because it's the final segment of this hour.
	We go to the happiness hour.
	And John in Atlanta says, what would he gain for speaking out in his family?
	He would feel true to himself.
	That's correct.
	I know you would.
	So sometimes catharsis is not worth it.
	I have different rules in family.
	Not everybody agrees with me, and they may be right.
	I may be wrong.
	I don't argue when there is no chance of changing the other person's mind.
	That's it.
	Why do I want ill will with people I love?
	It's cathartic.
	I express myself to people that share my values, and obviously people open.
	I go to campuses.
	I love speaking at universities.
	The first questions I take are from young people who disagree with me.
	But then I know there's a chance I will touch a mind and a heart if I speak here.
	There's no chance I will touch the mind and heart of people I know personally.
	Who are on the left?
	There's no chance.
	Okay, my friends, we go to the happiness hour.

	Now, Yesterday's vote by 45 Republicans to assert that an impeachment trial of a private citizen named Donald Trump is unconstitutional is a really big deal.
	I know the media doesn't really want to touch it.
	Maybe they're just burned out on it.
	I don't know.
	But you understand that if there is an impeachment trial...
	This surely means he's going to be acquitted.
	If he's acquitted, he is going to claim complete and total vindication.
	If he's acquitted, he's going to run again, and he is not going anywhere.
	The Trump, the MAGA movement just got a huge, huge shot in the arm.
	Senator Rand Paul yesterday on the floor of the Senate convincing all Republican senators except The handful of never-Trumper malcontents, it's the same bunch, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Ben Sasse, Lisa Murkowski, Toomey, it's the same ones that it's always been.
	But 45 Republicans, including Mitch McConnell, agreed with Senator Rand Paul.
	Unity is the opposite of this travesty we are about to witness.
	If we are about to try to impeach a president, where is the chief justice?
	If the accused is no longer president, where is the constitutional power to impeach him?
	Private citizens don't get impeached.
	Impeachment is for removal from office.
	And the accused here has already left office.

	You were the head of the USA Agency for Global Media, which is over the Voice of America, doing your job in the Trump administration.
	Voice of America put out a video that you just showed me asking people basically to vote for Joe Biden, asking Muslims to vote for Joe Biden.
	How is it possible that that happened during the Trump administration?
	Because it is the most partisan thing I've ever seen.
	The Voice of America and the others are required by law to be objective, balanced and comprehensive.
	So we were shocked to find the video you referred to that was produced by the Urdu service which is supposed to target Pakistan and it was in fact just a really repackaged Biden ad appealing to voters in Michigan not so much Pakistan to swing the vote for Biden.
	We, in fact, found out about it because of a whistleblower leak.
	And as soon as we found out about it, it had been up for an entire week, really.
	We asked the Urdu service to take it down, which they did.
	Then we did something sort of unique in VOA and USAGM history.
	We wanted to hold accountable those people responsible for breaking the law.
	Hold accountable?
	Yes, right.
	Shocking.
	What do you think this is?

	According to Van Jones, this is all about a white lash because of a changing country, right?
	I mean, we've talked about everything but race tonight.
	We've talked about income.
	We've talked about class.
	We've talked about region.
	We haven't talked about race.
	This was a white lash.
	This was a white lash against a changing country.
	It was a white lash against a black president in part.
	And that's the part where the pain comes.
	And Donald Trump has a responsibility tonight.
	To come out and reassure people that he is going to be the president of all the people who he insulted and offended.
	So it's a white lash on the part of insecure, scared white people because of a changing America.
	America that demographically is changing.
	Well, America has changed demographically from 2016 to 2020. So wouldn't Donald Trump therefore get a higher percentage of this paranoid white male vote instead of a smaller percentage?
	He's down 4 percentage points among white males compared to 2016. Is this thing on?
	I thought it was a white lash against white people afraid of changing the country.
	The country is still changing.
	Does everyone generally agree that this thing is a sham now?
	I think so, but there's another question that really some people have bought into that I think needs to be discussed and needs to be discarded, and that's the idea of incitement to violence.
	The president said, march peacefully and patriotically.
	He said, go fight for your country.
	Well, I defy anybody.
	I asked yesterday any Democrat to stand up and say they've never used the words fight figuratively in a political speech.
	Every politician of Republican or Democrat or any stripe uses those kind of words all of the time figuratively.
	But I also pointed out that Democrat words have been very specific and insightful.
	The most alarming was probably when the gunman shot four or five of us at the baseball practice nearly killing Steve Scalise and said, this is for health care.
	Thank you.
	It's the happy, happy, happy, happy hour, even, even, in a lock, a lock, down, down, in a lock, a lock, a lock, down, down.
	Those are the original lyrics.
	Amazing how they apply to our own time, isn't it, Sean?
	I'm Dennis Priggins, the happiness hour, because the happy make the world better, and the unhappy make it worse.
	It's a very, very, very, very important hour.
	Very, very, very.
	It really is.
	Since 1999, the last year of the 20th century, which began just one day after the 19th.
	That's how long we are on the air broadcasting about happiness.
	Today's topic is tangentially related.
	I admit that.
	But it is related.
	It's a very serious topic, and I've never addressed it, which is amazing.
	I can't believe that there are still topics that have not been addressed on this program.
	But here's, especially if they're big, and this is big.
	And I admit that it was prompted by one of my closest friends in the world losing his son recently in his 20s.
	And we, of course, talk a lot.
	And the subject arose, what do you say to somebody when they have a grievous loss?
	And by grievous loss, I tend to think of a child or a spouse.
	See, it's a real loss when you lose your parent, especially if you loved your parent, which is not always the case.
	But if you loved your parent, it's a real loss.
	But unless the parent died young, everybody knows that it's the nature of life.
	Parents die before the child.
	My mother always used to say that.
	Parents are supposed to die before their children.
	And my parents did live a long life.
	So, what do you say to somebody who had just experienced, or experienced even if it wasn't just recently, a really horrible loss?
	So, I'll give you an example.
	Giving them advice, unless you have been through it, or deal with it, is not a great idea.
	Oh, you know, you just, you gotta get involved, or, you know, just get some hobbies now.
	Distract yourself.
	They don't want advice from people who haven't lost a child.
	Let's talk about people who lost a child.
	I intuited this a long time ago in my life that the last thing a person who lost a child wants to hear is somebody who didn't lose a child tell them some philosophical or even theological Your child is in a better place.
	This is meant by well-intentioned religious people, usually Christian.
	And the parent who is grieving the loss of their child, it doesn't reduce their loss to know that the child is in a better place even if they believe it.
	But it's like...
	Frank Pastore, when he died in a motorcycle accident, he was hit by a car.
	I love Frank Pastore.
	And I saw him every day, every weekday, because he used this studio, which I broadcast for his national Christian show.
	There are two videos with Frank Pastore, is that correct?
	The guy was a major league pitcher, Cincinnati Reds.
	Became a major, I mean major, theologian.
	We take top people for PragerU videos.
	His videos on arguments for God's existence affected me, and I've been making those arguments all of my life.
	I spoke at Frank Pastore's memorial service, and many of the truly wonderful people, and I knew many of them, Who spoke about Frank being in a better place now.
	Frank obviously was a committed Christian and a beautiful Christian.
	And here I was, you know, a Jew.
	Not that I was introduced.
	I'm now a Jew.
	I was introduced because they knew I loved him and I saw him every day.
	I saw him probably second only to his wonderful, spectacular wife.
	And I wrote for whose book I wrote a forward to.
	So I said at the memorial service, Frank is at a better place, but we're not.
	And his family isn't, and his friends aren't.
	they're not fully related items its you know his wife doesn't have frank anymore
	It's good to believe that he's in a better place, and I do.
	But it doesn't lessen the loss to us.
	So there are things, to say to somebody who just lost a child, oh, well, she's in a better place, is not, I don't think, is comforting.
	I'll tell you what I do think works.
	So I was speaking to a man, this is years ago, and I was speaking to a man who lost his son when the son was 21 years old in a car crash.
	And what I said was, I asked a question.
	I find asking questions in these instances is far better than making any statement whatsoever.
	And so I said, I'm just wondering, has anything helped you with this grief?
	And I would say this was probably 10 years after the accident.
	And he said, let me tell you, only one thing.
	I tried therapy, did not help.
	I tried religion, did not help.
	Only one thing helped.
	And I was obviously dying to hear what that was.
	Meeting with other parents whose child died.
	And the second he said it, it made perfect sense.
	Remember I've said to you, true empathy is not possible in the human condition.
	It's not possible.
	You can have sympathy, but empathy is almost impossible.
	Can I empathize with a person who was tortured?
	Of course not.
	In fact, it's so hard to experience the pain of others, you can't even experience your own pain.
	There was a time that I had such back pain, I was in a wheelchair at airports.
	I was wheeled from the gate.
	I could walk, but not distances.
	I mean, I'm perfectly fine now.
	I'm one of the lucky people.
	Whose back surgeries have been 100% successful.
	I work out three days a week.
	That's how good my back is now.
	But I can't empathize with my own pain, let alone somebody else's.
	I know that I had terrible pain.
	I can't.
	It's just the way it works in life.
	Asking him what worked, that was good.
	That's a good one.
	So, I'm talking to you today, it's not a happy topic, but it can decrease human pain by knowing what to say and what not to say to someone who has lost a child or a spouse, or another equivalent loss.
	Your input will help people know how to talk.

	The most alarming was probably when the gunman shot four or five of us at the baseball practice, nearly killing Steve Scalise, and said, this is for health care.
	But what the Democrats were saying at the time that was insightful, they were saying, oh, the Republican plan for health care is you get sick.
	And then you die.
	Can you imagine if you had a child with leukemia that was dying or died at that time and you think, oh my goodness, the Republicans killed my son and they want my son to die.
	And so you could see how that could be insightful.
	But you know what?
	Not one Republican called for the impeachment of Bernie Sanders because we didn't think that was fair.
	In fact, I downplayed that this guy was a Bernie Sanders supporter.

	And so I have probably spoken to more people who've lost a child than anyone but a grieving counselor.
	And this is true right now.
	I mean, the lines are all that...
	The Keith...
	One of the great lines...
	You know what doctors take an oath when they become a doctor?
	The Hippocratic Oath?
	You know how it begins?
	First, do no harm.
	There's not much you could say to somebody, especially...
	In the recent, who has recently lost a child, using that example.
	So don't say something that's foolish.
	Well-intentioned, all of it is well-intentioned.
	Nobody says something to be cruel to someone who's lost a child.
	But good intentions have nothing to do with wisdom.
	So what do you say?
	And maybe say very little.
	But don't say the wrong thing.
	So let me go to your calls here.
	Tim in Redwood City, California.
	Hello.
	Greetings, Dennis.
	Hi, thank you.
	You have a lot of people, so I'll be quick.
	I could probably speak for a long time.
	I lost my two-year-old son in a car accident about 32 years ago, and it still weighs on me.
	One thing in particular where you could help a friend is, don't say, call me if you need something, you know.
	Just call them up.
	You know, go there, be there, be there for them.
	You can't wait for the other person to contact you.
	And, you know, that's the only thing you can do as far as, you know, what gets me through when you can say to somebody else that I have a strong faith.
	And if they have a faith...
	Again, I wouldn't say he's in a better place, but what about, well, we'll be together again someday.
	Yes, oh yes, that is right.
	I do say that to callers.
	That is correct.
	Yes, that's right.
	Thank you.
	I forgot.
	I remembered and then I forgot to say it.
	The two things I have said for a long time, and thank you, and God bless you.
	Every loss of a child is a unique pain, and there is a unique pain in the loss of a two-year-old.
	Those of you who've had kids, you bond so fast.
	And when they're that little, the love is so intense.
	It's so...
	My heart goes out.
	I do say that to people regularly.
	That's right.
	I just want you to know, I say it to an atheist, I just want you to know my belief is that you will be reunited.
	I don't think God made a world.
	If God made the world, you will be reunited.
	If there is no God, you won't be reunited.
	So, that's it.
	Those are axioms, in my opinion.
	They're not even statements of faith.
	And the other is, how did you deal with it?
	Or has anything comforted you?
	As I said, I ask questions.
	Okay.
	Thank you, sir.
	I'm glad you reminded me of that.
	Deerfield, Wisconsin.
	David, hello.
	Dennis.
	Yes.
	It is an honor to talk to you.
	Oh, that's very sweet.
	Thanks.
	I've been listening to your show for a long time.
	So I'm a long time listener.
	It's the first time I ever called in.
	I think this subject is extremely important.
	Yep.
	The whole subject of death put me on a quest to know who God is and to understand death.
	My mother struggled with it.
	I'm obsessed with the fact that she was going to die one day, and I don't know, maybe she impressed that upon me too much because it really put me on a quest also.
	I think the whole idea of telling somebody that they're going to be in a better place is, I think it comes from a false premise.
	Because biblically, heaven is a future administration.
	I'm sorry, biblically what?
	I didn't catch the term there.
	Biblically, heaven is a future administration.
	Right.
	Why would there need to be a resurrection if heaven was something that was current or immediate when you die?
	Well, alright.
	This is, bless you, this is a theological question.
	And I love theology.
	But I right now just want to deal with the practical question, what helps to say to someone, Who's had this terrible loss?
	and I don't think they're in a better place is the right thing to say at that moment.

	Can you imagine the President of the United States feeling an obligation, I guess, to his people to bring up these two things, which I consider essentially fake, right?
	I mean, the idea that anybody that you know or I know would agree with white nationalism or domestic terrorism, much less be a part of it, is just outstanding.
	It is breathtaking to me that he said this in an inaugural speech where he's calling For unity, I just...
	No, you're not by yourself.
	And there's a lot of people that are pointing to the same realities, that it's one thing to have rhetoric that talks about being unified.
	And here's something else I think we all need to just get over.
	Unity may on some level be virtuous, but it is not the highest of virtues.
	And there are virtues that are actually much more valuable from a moral and even civil scale.
	And one of those is freedom.
	Take out all of the references to unity in yesterday's speech and replace it with conformity.
	You have a better understanding of what The left actually means.
	But I think that there are some things that are far more important than unity.
	Clarity is one of them.
	To be clear and to clearly understand what truth is, is a far higher, greater virtue than unity.
	I also believe that at the end of the day, conformity is what they're really talking about.
	I believe that the defense of freedom is a greater virtue than what they're dealing with.
	So that's kind of where we're at.

	Tonight on Sean Hannity's show, Senator Lindsey Graham asserted that this is all driven by fear on the part of the Democrats.
	I agree, but I would have to add A footnote to what Senator Graham said last night to Sean on Fox News.
	Why are they doing this?
	They're afraid.
	I think Democratic senators are afraid of the left wing of their party, that if they don't give some credibility to this trial that started in the House, they're in trouble.
	And Joe Biden's been a huge disappointment thus far, not only on policy, but on the idea that I'm going to bring the country together.
	How easy would it be, Sean, for Joe Biden to say it is bad to impeach a president after they leave office?
	Enough already with Donald Trump.
	Let's look forward.
	So it tells you a lot about Biden's ability and desire to bring us together by the fact that he's sitting on the sidelines.
	And his only comment has been, I don't think they have the votes.
	I don't disagree with that, but I would add one footnote.
	Again, I would add this.
	There's fear, all right.
	They don't know what to do with Donald Trump and tens of millions of supporters who are not going anywhere.

	The issue is what do you say to somebody who's just suffered a grievous loss like the loss of a child?
	It's the happiness hour.
	It's related to happiness in that...
	Saying the wrong thing increases unhappiness.
	This is a perfect example of good intentions really don't matter.
	Everybody has good intentions when being with somebody who suffered a horrible loss.
	It's irrelevant.
	That's why this is an important error.
	What should you say or what should you not say is even more.
	Apt.
	A question.
	Barbara in Cleveland.
	Hello.
	I can't hear you.
	I can't hear you.
	Barbara.
	Okay.
	She doesn't hear me telling her I can't hear her.
	Okay.
	She is speaking two rooms away from her speaker.
	All right.
	Let's go to Patty in Garden Grove, California.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	I lost my son to suicide on June 27th of 2020. Unfortunately, it was related to, I want to say COVID, even though he did not have COVID, because of the isolation.
	He lost his job, and he grew very despondent, and we were not aware.
	He was married.
	For three and a half years.
	Wow.
	Even though we would ask him, are you okay?
	Are you doing okay?
	Do you need money?
	No, Mom, I'm fine.
	I'm fine.
	He never had a history of mental illness or depression.
	Nothing.
	So it's completely shocking.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it was.
	Absolutely.
	He was happy.
	He loved life.
	He traveled all over the U.S. for his...
	He was a sales rep for a dental company.
	And he loved it.
	He was very outgoing.
	So anyway, I've been a Christian.
	My husband and I, we've been Christians for many years.
	So to say that we didn't question God or our faith is an understatement on why God would allow something like this to happen.
	But it has, and the shame of it has been indescribable.
	We ended up leaving our church.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	You experienced shame at your church?
	We didn't experience shame.
	We felt it.
	And the reason I say that is because very few people reached out to us from that particular church that we had belonged to for over five years.
	But thankfully, a very good friend of ours reached out to us, not affiliated with that church, and invited us to her church.
	That was open, even during this pandemic, and we experienced love and compassion like no other.
	The church that did not help you, were they obeying lockdown orders?
	Yes.
	It's interesting.
	So I'll make a somewhat brazen statement.
	Not only do the courageous have courage, that's definitional, but they're usually nicer.
	Yes, we were very surprised, for sure.
	I'm not, but I understand that you might be.
	How do you understand what he did?
	Now, I'll bet you don't.
	No, no, not at all.
	Exactly.
	Not at all.
	I can tell you not to say that someone did tell us.
	Please, yes.
	A well-meaning Christian, and we love this person.
	But he told us that, well, maybe God allowed this to happen to protect our son from something else.
	And I remember thinking, what worse thing could he have done?
	Yes, I know, I know, I know.
	God bless you.
	you sound like someone I would really like to beat trending and now on the Hugh Hewitt show okay like having on senator Paul we can agree on things
	And I want to thank him for offering his motion yesterday to dismiss the article of impeachment as improvidently delivered and unconstitutional.
	Is that a fair description, Senator Paul, of what you attempted to do yesterday?
	Exactly, Hugh.
	The thing is, is that to impeach former presidents means that we could impeach.
	Any private citizen, really.
	And our founding fathers didn't want that.
	I mean, the British would do that to former officeholders.
	In Latin America, they still do that.
	Every president of Guatemala is elected in fanfare and then goes to jail when he leaves.
	You know, that's the kind of thing that happens in a third-world country.
	But we don't want that to happen in our country.
	And so I think it was important to put people on record.
	The other reason I did the vote was...
	This basically, essentially, by the vote yesterday, says that the impeachment trial is dead on arrival and that it's going to be a partisan thing where the Democrats can have fun with their, you know, Eric Swalwell and all his, you know, famous spidem.
	They'll be able to make critical points, but basically the actual idea that this is a real impeachment is over now.
	I want to read some headlines, Senator Paul, just so people understand.
	The Financial Times.
	Nearly all Republicans backed Trump in early impeachment tests.
	United Kingdom's Telegraph.
	Democrats' hope of convicting Trump fade as only five Republican senators back holding a Senate trial.
	The Times of Israel.
	Republican senators mostly vote against holding Trump impeachment trial.
	The Wall Street Journal.
	Most Republican senators reject constitutionality of Trump impeachment.
	It goes on and on.
	Does everyone generally agree that this thing is a sham now?
	I think so.

	His name is Michael Paki.
	He's been on this program before because he was behind what can only be described as a spectacular documentary film about Clarence Thomas.
	It was on PBS, which is as good as the film.
	In other words, as good as the film is, the fact that it was on PBS is perhaps, frankly, better than the film.
	On PBS. Michael Pack, welcome.
	Thank you very much, Eric.
	And let me remind your viewers and listeners, they can still see it.
	It's streaming.
	It's on Amazon and iTunes and many other platforms.
	And it is a great film.
	I agree with you, Eric.
	Would you drop the title for us, please?
	It's called Created Equal.
	Clarence Thomas in his own words.
	The fact, Michael, that you were able to get it on PBS. That's really the big news, because there's a lot of great stuff out there that doesn't find mainstream distribution.
	The fact that PBS viewers got to see the other side of the story, so to speak, was astounding.
	What's the secret there?
	Well, that's true.
	That was always very important to us, not just to preach to the choir.
	And, well, I have been making documentaries for PBS for over 30 years, and there have been more than 15 that have been aired nationally.
	And I have to say, in defense of PBS, that they have always been enthusiastic about this film.
	It's Justice Thomas telling a story directly to camera based on 30 hours of interview time with him.
	Unprecedented.
	It was a coup at every level for PBS.
	I hope that they would still air it now, now that we've entered an even more polarizing time.

	Happiness Hour is about a very, very, very, very, very, very serious subject.
	What do you say to somebody, or better, what do you not say to somebody who has just suffered a grievous loss?
	Like the loss of a child.
	And this is, it's important.
	Really important.
	Okay.
	God, I wish I could take you all.
	Maybe I can.
	Let's see what happens here.
	Kate in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
	Hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	This is such an important topic, and thanks for taking my call.
	As a previous caller said, we two left our church after our daughter died.
	She was 19.
	She was in a head-on accident with another car.
	They both had seatbelts.
	They both had airbags.
	And the crash was witnessed, and they both died instantly.
	And I'm a nurse.
	I'm sorry.
	Both drivers?
	Yep, both drivers.
	There was a single person in each car, and yeah.
	Right.
	You know, and it's hard because, you know, kind of the modern, especially a lot of the evangelical churches, they kind of treat God as a talisman.
	If you believe and if you do this and you do this, you're going to be blessed.
	And, you know, good things are going to happen.
	And so we were completely unprepared, you know, when this happened.
	It was shell-shock on so many different levels.
	But, I mean, the things that, you know, people can do to help...
	parents that are grieving because it is such there is no loss that compares i've lost parents and grandparents but a child of a whole different level that's right uh talk about that child you know people i think they get scared to talk about it because then they think you know this could happen to me and in reality it could but nobody wants to think about that by the way that's a very a very good word of advice.
	Talk about the child.
	My dear friend who lost his son recently shared with me recollections of his son from high school students who knew him in high school.
	And that was one of the handful of things written to my friend that helped.
	These people writing about what a wonderful boy he was, and of course this is well after high school, but they remember him.
	And he sent it to me because it so touched him, so you're absolutely right.
	What happened in your church?
	Did you stay in that church?
	We stayed for about a year, and then it was kind of a crisis of faith for me.
	And I had to re-evaluate, you know, what does the Bible say versus what is the church saying?
	And I realized that the Bible is full of trials and tribulations.
	Yes!
	Listen, I'm sorry to interrupt.
	It drives me crazy.
	And as I announced earlier, I took off again this week a day because I'm finishing the third volume of my Bible commentary.
	And on a number of occasions, I note that...
	If you believe God will protect you from death, suffering, the death of a loved one, or whatever, then if it happens, a lot of people lose their faith, because the God they believed in is not God.
	I don't believe, and I never believed for a second God will protect me from misery.
	It never occurred to me.
	He's not my butler.
	You are absolutely right, and it breaks my heart, because there's so many people that are being deceived, and there's pain in this life, and the Church needs to prepare people for this pain, because pain is going to happen to every person.
	That is right.
	That is exactly right.
	Thank you.
	God bless you.
	That is right.
	Prepare you for pain.
	What is done in a lot of religious places, Jewish, Christian, you name it, Catholic, Protestant, I don't know if the Mormons are guilty of this.
	I don't know.
	I have a lot of Mormon friends that have not discussed this, or as they now prefer LDS friends.
	And I once asked, I spoke at a London synagogue, an Orthodox synagogue in London many years ago, when I said, oh, and I didn't say it.
	Somebody asked me, so Mr. Prager, How do you explain a Jew who is righteous and kind and observes kosher and the Sabbath and so on, how do you explain they're getting cancer?
	And I remember thinking, is this guy serious?
	So I actually said, would you raise your hand if you feel that that is a legitimate question?
	If you believe that if you observe the laws of the Torah and in both treatment of other human beings and ritual, you are protected from cancer.
	And about half the hands went up.
	And among Christians, if you have faith in Christ, do you believe that you will be protected?
	I'm sure half the hands will go up there.
	Look.
	For those who believe that, it's like religion is sort of an insurance policy, not a faith and moral project.

	We have never seen, and what's fascist about this is the coordination between the state and large private sector entities.
	The distinctive type of socialism that the fascists preferred was not to make the state take over everything.

	Every single line is of a parent who lost a child.
	There are many of you.
	I have a deep, deep spot in my heart for you.
	And I need to address the topic again another time.
	The topic has been...
	Somewhat of an odd one for a happiness hour, because it's so sad.
	But the issue is not the loss.
	It's what do you not say to somebody who has had a grievous loss?
	There's not much you can say, but what do you not say?
	I'd like to say this, though, to some of you, because they're calling in some of this, for example.

	You were the head of the USA Agency for Global Media, which is over the Voice of America, doing your job in the Trump administration.
	Voice of America put out a video that you just showed me asking people basically to vote for Joe Biden, asking Muslims to vote for Joe Biden.
	How is it possible that that happened during the Trump administration?
	Because it is the most partisan thing.
	I've ever seen.
	The Voice of America and the others are required by law to be objective, balanced and comprehensive.
	So we were shocked to find the video you referred to that was produced by the Urdu service which is supposed to target Pakistan and it was in fact just a really repackaged Biden ad appealing to voters in Michigan not so much Pakistan to swing the vote for Biden.
	We, in fact, found out about it because of a whistleblower leak.
	And as soon as we found out about it, it had been up for an entire week, really.
	We asked the Urdu service to take it down, which they did.
	Then we did something sort of unique in VOA and USAGM history.
	We wanted to hold accountable those people responsible for breaking the law.
	What do you think this is?
	1975?
	Come on, man.
	We initiated it.
	We got the HR department and our internal people to do an investigation and some of the people were disciplined.
	Some were fired.

	For you to get $5 million light in taxes, you have to make a boatload of money.
	How is it that America is intrinsically, foundationally, endemically, structurally, institutionally racist, but these guys get a pass?

	According to Van Jones, this is all about a white lash because of a changing country, right?
	I mean, we've talked about everything but race tonight.
	We've talked about income.
	We've talked about class.
	We've talked about region.
	We haven't talked about race.
	This was a white lash.
	This was a white lash against a changing country.
	It was a white lash against a black president in part.
	And that's the part where the pain comes.
	And Donald Trump has a responsibility tonight.
	To come out and reassure people that he is going to be the president of all the people who he insulted and offended.
	So it's a white lash on the part of insecure, scared white people because of a changing America.
	America that demographically is changing.
	Well, America has changed demographically from 2016 to 2020. So wouldn't Donald Trump therefore get a higher percentage of this paranoid white male vote instead of a smaller percentage?
	He's down four percentage points among white males compared to 2016. Is this thing on?
	I thought it was a white lash against white people afraid of changing the country.
	The country is still changing.

	Does everyone generally agree that this thing is a sham now?
	I think so, but there's another question that really some people have bought into that I think needs to be discussed and needs to be discarded, and that's the idea of incitement to violence.
	The president said, march peacefully and patriotically.
	He said, go fight for your country.
	Well, I defy anybody.
	I asked yesterday any Democrat to stand up and say they've never used the words fight.
	Figuratively in a political speech, every politician of Republican or Democrat or any stripe uses those kind of words all of the time, figuratively.
	But I also pointed out that Democrat words have been very specific and insightful.
	The most alarming was probably when the gunman shot four or five of us at the baseball practice, nearly killing Steve Scalise, and said, this is for health care.
	But what the Democrats were saying at the time that was insightful, they were saying, Oh, the Republican plan for health care is you get sick and then you die.
	Can you imagine if you had a child with leukemia that was dying or died at that time and you think, oh my goodness, the Republicans killed my son and they want my son to die.
	And so you could see how that could be insightful.
	But you know what?
	Not one Republican called for the impeachment of Bernie Sanders because we didn't think that was fair.
	In fact, I downplayed that this guy was a Bernie Sanders supporter.
	But now you've got all these Democrats saying that they...
	You know, think the president should go to jail for inciting an armsurrection when he said march peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol?
	Double standard.

	Dennis, I want to start by saying I love you.
	Thank you for everything you do.
	Thank you.
	I want to give my personal opinion on why I believe people wear masks out in the street and, you know, with no one around them.
	A couple, just quickly.
	One is people, just like clothing and hairstyles, people want to fit in and not feel like they're left out.
	The second one is people are scared to be without a mask on, not because of the virus, because of people attacking them.
	Right.
	Well, so they're both related not to the virus, but to others' reactions.
	Correct.
	It was like in the 1970s, people wore bell bombs, and today people wore ripped jeans.
	People are going to wear masks because society tells them to, and I want to sit in, I don't want to be left out, you know.
	And also, I have seen people being yelled at, and myself personally, I was also yelled at.
	Wait, I want to hear about this.
	You were yelled at outside?
	Not outside.
	I don't wear my mask outside.
	I'm in New York, so when I'm on the subway, I wear it on the actual train.
	But when I'm on the platform, when there's room to move around and it's wide open, I do not wear the mask.
	And a woman actually approached me and started scolding me.
	And I said, when the train comes, I'll put it on.
	And she saw she was getting nowhere.
	She just brushed it off and walked away.
	Well, Boruch, I salute you.
	I told you, folks, if it's indoors, out of courtesy, I put it on.
	I do believe they're worthless, but I have no desire to freak people out.
	I don't want to seem like a party pooper.
	I don't want to panic the easily panicked.
	So, if I go in, get a Subway sandwich, Put it on.
	It's not an issue.
	I admit that I usually have it under my nose to breathe, and they don't give a hoot.
	In fact, I have on occasion said, if I'm the only customer in there, I have told the guy or the girl who is, I say that because they're usually young, at least where I am, who is making the sandwich, listen.
	Between you and me, you can lower your mask.
	And they're scared to do so.
	Lest, I don't know, maybe there's a video camera or I'm there from the Department of Health to test them.
	But sometimes they go, thanks.
	Fascinating.
	The whole thing is fascinating.
	The outdoors masks.
	Except, of course, if you're demonstrating for racial justice, then it's a health benefit.
	This was actually thousands of health professionals announced that last year.
	I hope you will recall.
	If masks are so effective, why can't you visit a dying loved one?
	And wearing a mask.
	I've never gotten a coherent answer to that question.
	If masks are effective, double mask, triple mask, quadruple mask, helmet, hazmat suit, why can't you visit your mother or father who's dying?
	The cruelty of the safety-ism priests.
	Known as doctors and hospitals, and I don't know who else makes these policies.
	It's phenomenal.
	Cruelty in the name of saving life.
	Baruch, you're my man.
	Thank you.
	All right, John Hammond, Indiana.
	Hello, John.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Yes, sir.
	Did you hear anything?
	I was watching Tucker Carlson, I believe it was Wednesday night, on the Fox News channel, and he mentioned something about the FBI arresting a reporter for being a Trump supporter.
	Did you hear anything about that?
	I actually heard, watch that, or I really listen more than watch it, but I heard Tucker Carlson report that.
	Yes.
	Do you know that reporter's name?
	Because I would really love to know his name.
	I looked on Google and I couldn't find anything.
	Right.
	I am going to look into this and talk about it next week.
	I do trust Tucker Carlson, and I suspect that this is a real story.
	Let me say this, which is more scary.
	The fact that I do believe it, putting aside Tucker Carlson, is a credible source for me.
	Putting that aside, I do believe that people will start being arrested for opinions in this country.
	I did not know of the deep state.
	All of this is new.
	Among the many great things Donald Trump did, it is undeniable the amount of good he did that will be undone, like peace in the Middle East.
	And pressure on Iran and pressure on China.
	Everything good that his administration did will probably be undone, or at least attempted to be undone.
	So, I did not know of the deep state.
	It never occurred to me.
	I had almost a childlike...
	Belief, the FBI, of course, everybody knows there are bad apples, but...
	I didn't think the FBI was corrupt atop.
	I mean corrupt.
	I mean third world corrupt.
	I mean dictatorship corrupt.
	I did not know that.
	Or the CIA. John Brennan is effectively a communist.
	Okay?
	Tulsi Gabbard got him right.
	And she's a Democrat.
	So I no longer am shocked to know that state power is being used to suppress dissent.
	This is the United States of America.
	It is not the land of the free and the home of the brave that it was until very very recently Trending it now on the Hugh Hewitt show Okay, I like having on senator Paul and we can agree on things and
	And I want to thank him for offering his motion yesterday to dismiss the article of impeachment as improvidently delivered and unconstitutional.
	Is that a fair description, Senator Paul, of what you attempted to do yesterday?
	Exactly, Hugh.
	The thing is, is that to impeach former presidents means that we could impeach Any private citizen, really.
	And our founding fathers didn't want that.
	I mean, the British would do that to former officeholders.
	In Latin America, they still do that.
	Every president of Guatemala is elected in fanfare and then goes to jail when he leaves.
	You know, that's the kind of thing that happens in a third-world country.
	But we don't want that to happen in our country.
	And so I think it was important to put people on record.
	The other reason I did the vote was...
	This basically, essentially, by the vote yesterday, says that the impeachment trial is dead on arrival and that it's going to be a partisan thing where the Democrats can have fun with their, you know, Eric Swalwell and all his, you know, famous spidem.
	They'll be able to make critical points, but basically the actual idea that this is a real impeachment is over now.
	I want to read some headlines, Senator Paul, just so people understand.
	The Financial Times.
	Nearly all Republicans backed Trump in early impeachment tests.
	United Kingdom's Telegraph.
	Democrats' hope of convicting Trump fade as only five Republican senators back holding a Senate trial.
	The Times of Israel.
	Republican senators mostly vote against holding Trump impeachment trial.
	The Wall Street Journal.
	Most Republican senators reject constitutionality of Trump impeachment.
	It goes on and on.

	I think so.

	It's called Created Equal.
	Clarence Thomas in his own words.
	The fact, Michael, that you were able to get it on PBS, that's really the big news because a lot of great stuff out there that doesn't find mainstream distribution.
	The fact that PBS viewers got to see the other side of the story, so to speak, was astounding.
	What's the secret there?

	30 years and there have been more than 15 that have been aired nationally.
	And I have to say in defense of PBS that they have always been enthusiastic about this film.
	It's Justice Thomas telling a story directly to camera based on 30 hours of interview time with him.
	Unprecedented.

	Delray Beach man accused of using social media accounts to intimidate voters during 2016 election.
	So the man was arrested.
	FBI agents came to his home.
	He's 31-year-old Douglas Mackey.
	So he put on stuff on the internet, which...
	I read the article and it's still not fully clear to me, or at least I skimmed the article.
	Let's see.
	So the charge is, you're allowed to lie to convince someone not to vote for Hillary Clinton.
	This is one of those that arrested him, I guess.
	But you are not allowed to lie to block someone.
	How does posting a meme block someone from voting for Hillary Clinton?

	How do you block people from voting on the internet?
	I'm curious.
	I don't know.
	And let's see.
	Why did it happen?
	Why was he arrested four years later?
	Look, the country is less free.
	I say this every day, and the average conservative does not even understand this for some reason.
	A. Everything the left touches, it destroys.
	B. There is no such thing as free speech when the left takes over.
	There is no example of it in the history of the world.
	I'm not talking about liberals.
	I make that separation every day.
	Liberals believe in free speech.
	The left has contempt for every liberal value, but the liberals vote for them.
	Liberals are the useful idiots of the left.
	Some of them are brilliant and kind and fine and people of integrity.
	I know them.
	They're not idiots.
	They are, it's a technical term, useful idiots.
	People who support despicable people because they are foolish about how despicable they are.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	And the left is despicable.
	There are even nice people on the left.
	And they're despicable.
	I know it sounds like cognitive dissonance.
	How could that be?
	How could a nice person be despicable?
	You know how many nice people have supported despicable causes?
	Tens of millions.
	We will have more and more Americans arrested as the left gains power.
	For speech.
	yes for speech CNN's desire to have Fox shut down of course they do they don't want competition But it's also ideological.
	There should be no conservative network.
	None.
	Because we puncture their bubble, which is filled with air and not thought.
	That's what we do.

	Erasing the past, that's the subject.

	Ability to advertise our videos.
	I think YouTube should be charged with homophobia, given that Douglas Murray is gay.
	Wouldn't that be the other way around?
	If we shut down...
	But we don't shut down.
	There is no other way around.
	Conservatives don't shut down other speech.
	It doesn't occur to us.
	We invite them on.
	They don't come on.
	They don't divide us on.
	Anyway, that's correct.
	Okay, everybody.

	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	I was reading an article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer yesterday about Oklahoma returning $2 million worth of hydroxychloroquine.
	And this was an Associated Press article.
	And the last paragraph...
	Wait, I don't understand.
	Why does that mean, returning $2 billion of hydroxy?
	They bought it in March or April to get ahead of the curve.
	But the last sentence I found, or paragraph, was quite interesting.
	It said, the drug has since been shown to have little or no effect on severe cases of COVID-19.
	That's correct.
	I thought the protocol was to prevent you from...
	No, and to give it to you in early stages when you test positive.
	So now they're couching how they're wording it.
	Yes, no, of course.
	That's exactly right.
	It's like saying pencils were found to be very unproductive when there was no more lead left.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	That's a very good insight.
	The dishonesty is astonishing.
	And how many of these have tested it with zinc?
	The point of hydroxychloroquine is to open up the cell to enable the zinc to do its work.
	We should all be taking zinc anyway.
	And vitamin D. I've saved more lives on this program than the CDC has.
	It's a disgrace.
	I'm not proud of it.
	Not in the least.
	It's not a boast.
	It's a critique.
	I, Dennis Prager, have saved more lives with regard to COVID than the CDC, the FDA, and the AMA, who have killed so many Americans because of their hostility to hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin that it will be an everlasting shame on the medical profession that should last a generation.
	It's a disgrace.
	And it will...
	It will be so realized over time.
	In the meantime, people die.
	We should have treated all of this with therapeutics.
	Not wait till they go on an ineffective ventilator which kills half of them.
	We should have treated this with therapeutics, not with lockdowns.
	But we didn't.
	It wasn't politically a good thing to do.
	It's all political and cowardice.
	It's a combination.

	We are back with Dinesh D'Souza.
	This is a Rebuilding the Right.
	Dinesh, you mentioned this maybe 20 minutes ago, but let's reiterate, let's be clear about it.
	Of the two political parties in America today, one of them...
	has normalized violence in the last four years, and it isn't the GOP, is it?
	That's absolutely true.
	Even if you look at Trump's speech, we got to rise up, we got to fight.
	This is political standard rhetoric.
	This is not incitement.
	Now, I hear that the House managers are trying to use the reaction of people to the speech Sort of almost imply what was in the speech.
	But let's say I were to give a speech and I were to say, you don't have enough money.
	You need to get more.
	You need to build up your wealth.
	And someone goes out and robs a bank.
	Now, I didn't incite them.
	I didn't tell them to rob a bank.
	They might have interpreted my words that way, but that's not a normal interpretation of what I said.
	So the bottom line of it is there's been no incitement from Trump.
	And then you compare that.
	You know, Kamala Harris when she's talking about the rioters and she basically goes, you know what?
	They're not going to stop.
	They're not going to stop.
	They're going to continue after the election.
	And what she means is they're going to continue looting and burning and terrorizing people.
	And she goes, and they shouldn't stop.
	And that's incitement right there if you're looking for it.
	Yesterday's vote by 45 Republicans to assert that an impeachment trial of a private citizen named Donald Trump is unconstitutional is a really big deal.
	I know the media doesn't really want to touch it.
	Maybe they're just burned out on it.
	I don't know.
	But you understand that if there is an impeachment trial, this surely means he's going to be acquitted.
	If he's acquitted, he is going to claim complete and total vindication.
	If he's acquitted, he's going to run again, and he is not going anywhere.

	If the accused is no longer president, where is the constitutional power to impeach him?

	Hello everybody.
	Talking about hydroxychloroquine, I'd like to note to you that about a month ago, three weeks, four weeks ago, my stepson living with us, and I'm actually happy about it.
	It's a good thing.
	And he is COVID positive.
	He has asthma, a condition that can dangerously complicate the virus.
	Gave him hydroxychloroquine and zinc.
	He felt better within a few hours with COVID. Who knows what would have happened had he followed the CDC and NIH, advising that he'd just wait to see how sick he got and then go to a hospital.
	That's right.
	I have saved more lives than the CDC, NIH, and AMA put together on COVID. Not only is that not a boast, it is actually a shame.
	It's not a shame on me, but it is a shame.

	Hi.
	Hi, Dennis.
	It's an honor to talk with you.
	Yeah, my question was pretty simple.
	From your interview on Tuesday with Rabbi Leder, you had said that belief in a soul is irrationable.
	Why is that?
	Because I believe that the universe is not solely physical.
	I don't have a material view of the universe.
	I believe that there is a non-material creator, and a non-material creator would make a non-material thing that we call a soul in the human.
	If there is no God, clearly there is no soul.
	So the issue is not whether there is a soul, the issue really is whether there is a God, and I believe that reason leads you more to believe that there is a God than there is nothing.
	Okay, I can respect that.
	Thank you, Dennis.
	I can respect you.
	Those are my favorite moments.
	When people call with a challenge, I give them a rational...
	That person gets credit.
	I said this the first hour.
	People often say to me, oh, I want you to know you've changed my life, which meant you've changed my thinking.
	And I always say to them, which is true, I never patronize and I don't deny good things that I have done.
	I'm very real.
	And I tell them, you get half the credit.
	People hear what someone like myself has to say and it has no impact.
	The fact that you opened your mind to hearing the rational arguments that I gave is to your credit.
	Half the people who hear it tune out or start yelling at me with six herbs, sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, slavophobic, race, bigoted.

	There are 200 laws in Deuteronomy.
	The most of any of the books of the first five books where all the laws are.

	Hello.
	Hey, Dennis, how you doing?
	Okay, thank you.
	So, me and my brother have had a fallout.
	He's recently drifted left.
	And I write and...
	I can't seem to get through to them.
	Common sense doesn't seem to work anymore or exists.
	So I'm having a lot of trouble with this.
	And I've tried to break it down to them from day one with what they've been doing to Trump in the media and Hillary's dossier.
	I mean, it's endless and it's obvious to me.
	So it's very painful to not be able to get through to him.
	Right.
	Okay.
	I will respond.
	Stay on with me.
	It is my pleasure.
	To re-emphasize the effectiveness of Relief Factor.
	You should read the comments of people, the testimonials, better than comments, at relieffactor.com.
	And it's almost a disbelief at how effective it is.
	I don't know how these guys came up with it.
	You would think they would be imitators, but I don't know of any.
	Relief Factor is superb in combating muscle and joint pain.
	It'll work in three weeks or it won't work, so they give you a special price for three weeks, $19.95.

	You were the head of the USA Agency for Global Media, which is over the Voice of America, doing your job in the Trump administration.
	Voice of America put out a video that you just showed me asking people basically to vote for Joe Biden, asking Muslims to vote for Joe Biden.
	How is it possible that that happened?
	During the Trump administration, because it is the most partisan thing I've ever seen.
	The Voice of America and the others are required by law to be objective, balanced and comprehensive.
	So we were shocked to find the video you referred to that was produced by the Urdu service, which is supposed to target Pakistan.
	And it was, in fact, just a really repackaged Biden ad appealing to voters in Michigan, not so much Pakistan, to swing the vote for Biden.
	We, in fact, found out about it because of a whistleblower leak.
	And as soon as we found out about it, it had been up for an entire week, really.
	We asked the Urdu service to take it down, which they did.
	Then we did something sort of unique in VOA and USAGM history.
	We wanted to hold accountable those people responsible for breaking the law.
	What do you think this is?
	1975?
	Come on, man.
	We initiated it.
	We got the HR department and our internal people to do an investigation and some of the people were disciplined.
	Some were fired.
	Some had things written into their files.
	Some were put on leave.
	All the way up.
	But oddly enough, you will not be surprised, Eric, they claim that was a violation of their rights.

	Farrakhan lives in a mansion?
	Sharpton we know he made a boatload of money because he was five million dollars light in taxes according to the New York Times at one point for you to get five million dollars light in taxes you have to make a boatload of money how is it that America is intrinsically foundationally endemically structurally institutionally racist but these guys get a pass but I'm the guy the man's gonna come after when the man gets mad really And again.
	According to Van Jones, this is all about a white lash because of a changing country, right?
	I mean, we've talked about everything but race tonight.
	We've talked about income.
	We've talked about class.
	We've talked about region.
	We haven't talked about race.
	This was a white lash.
	This was a white lash against a changing country.
	It was a white lash against a black president in part.
	And that's the part where the pain comes.
	And Donald Trump has a responsibility tonight.
	Okay, all you're listening to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Oh, I want to remind you about Pure Talk.
	Hey, listen to this.
	$30 a month, unlimited text, unlimited talk.
	$30, that's it.
	I signed up.
	I couldn't believe that something that inexpensive was that good.
	It's the same as any service.
	$30, unlimited text, unlimited talk, and...
	Every 1,000th signer-upper gets a visit from Sean.
	That's right.
	I can't do that.
	I'm not allowed to do that, actually.
	That is forbidden because I put him on the spot and it's not right.
	In all seriousness, I have it.
	Go to, just dial pound 250, say Dennis Prager.
	Pure Talk USA. Better Wi-Fi.
	Better wireless, I should say.
	Okay, Duke!
	Let's go to Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.
	Oh, no, excuse me.
	I was answering Houston in Phoenix.
	So, Houston, you have drifted right, and your brother, you say, drifted left?
	Yeah, yes, sir.
	Is Houston on?
	Hello?
	Okay, I didn't hear you.
	So, did you say your brother drifted left?
	Yes, sir.
	Yeah, and I'm just trying to, you know, make and see all these obvious things they've done from day one before Trump even sat down in the White House and what the media is doing.
	I mean, when the pandemic came out, we had a conversation.
	I was like, dude, something's not right here.
	Something else is going on.
	And then you find out, you know, mail-in ballots, and that's exactly Fauci.
	You know, there's a video of Fauci saying that they're going to get a surprise pandemic.
	Like, how do these people know this?
	There's no coincidence.
	Yeah, no, no, you're not going to convince him of any of that.
	It's insane.
	There's no logic.
	No, I, yes.
	Listen, I get this call almost every day because it afflicts so many families.
	So my first advice is just don't talk politics.
	Why create tension?
	You're not going to change their mind in most cases.
	There are people open to listening, and you have to be open to listening, I might say.
	What I'm going to do, I really have to do this.
	I'm going to write up just a bunch of questions.
	Like, for example, my last column was just a question.
	Why would an honorable Democrat who could cheat in ballot counting not cheat?
	If you believe that Donald Trump, if you believed Donald Trump is a fascist, neo-Nazi, shill for Putin, white supremacist, Why would you not cheat on his behalf if you could?
	And I look at comments on my column, and nobody answers the question.
	Because the answer is, of course you should cheat!
	You're morally bound to!
	If I could have stopped Hitler from getting office, and there is actually a column comparing Donald Trump to Hitler, that came out, I forgot where it is, in a mainstream medium, yesterday or today.
	If you could stop Hitler from gaining power and all it takes is for you to manipulate ballots, why wouldn't you do it?
	You should do it.
	I would do it.
	So I'll prepare a list of questions to ask, but generally it's useless.
	The preoccupation with the...
	The storming of the Capitol over nearly a year's worth of constant destruction in city after city shows you how just steeped in lies the leftists and the media are.
	Okay, that's it.
	That's what you do.
	That's the way it works.
	Mike in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	How are you?
	Okay, thank you.
	I'm a big fan of both of you and Tucker Carlson, but I thought he was somewhat disingenuous.
	He never mentioned what this meme says.
	If you just Google Douglas Mackey vote fraud meme, it says...
	The meme itself says, avoid the line text vote from home.
	Text Hillary to 59925. And according to the news stories, about 4,900 people actually were fooled into texting in their votes for Hillary.
	And I just didn't know why Tucker didn't even mention it.
	That's what the meme says.
	So that is interesting.
	No, no, that's interesting in the best sense.
	That is...
	That is important.
	Let me ask you a question.
	I don't understand why they're calling it voter intimidation, but it certainly did some franchising.
	Yeah, well, that's a very valid thing.
	I'm very glad you called.
	I did not know that.
	And I will look into it more, because that's bad.
	But it's a very serious question.
	So do we arrest Adam Schiff, who has a lot more power than this guy on the Internet, for looking at the American people and lying as much as if I said to you for looking at the American people and lying as much as if I said
	When he said he has information that will be revealed about collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, he knew it was a lie.
	This is one of those instances where does somebody say something like Harry Reid knew it was a lie and admitted it later.
	We lied about Mitt Romney not paying taxes.
	But it worked.
	He didn't win, did he?
	That's right, that was his line.
	Should Adam Schiff, who's done a lot more damage than this guy in Delray Beach, be arrested?
	We'll be back.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berger.
	Department of Homeland Security, which has put out a national terrorism advisory system against what they are calling a new term, domestic violent extremists who have perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, including with regards to the inauguration.
	How worried are you?
	That we are seeing the federal government turn against potentially 74 million Americans who voted for conservatism.
	I was talking to a friend of mine from India and I was talking about some of the suddenly widespread threats to free speech in this country.
	And he seemed genuinely baffled.
	He said, I thought you Americans were fighting over the Second Amendment.
	I didn't realize they were fighting over the first.
	So here is something that I've taken for granted in America my entire adult life.
	I've done it in Democratic and Republican administrations.
	We have never seen, and what's fascist about this is the coordination between the state and large private sector entities.
	The distinctive type of socialism that the fascists preferred was not to make the state take over everything, but the state would tell the media what to do.
	The state would tell the companies what to manufacture.
	The state would direct and private companies would carry it out.
	And we see this now censorship being driven not solely by the federal government, but the federal government in coordination with digital media.

	Can you imagine the President of the United States feeling an obligation I guess to his people to bring up these two things which I consider essentially fake?
	I mean, the idea that anybody that you know or I know would agree with white nationalism or domestic terrorism, much less be a part of it, is just outstanding.
	It is breathtaking to me that he said this in an inaugural speech where he's calling for unity.
	No, you're not by yourself.
	And there's a lot of people that are pointing to the same realities, that it's one thing to have rhetoric that talks about being unified.
	And here's something else I think we all need to just get over.
	Unity may on some level be virtuous, but it is not the highest of virtues.
	And there are virtues that are actually much more valuable from a moral and even civil scale.
	And one of those is freedom.
	Take out all of the references to unity in yesterday's speech and replace it with conformity.
	You have a better understanding of what The left actually means.
	But I think that there are some things that are far more important than unity.
	Clarity is one of them.
	To be clear...
	I can't believe it.
	It is the last segment of the last hour of the last show of the week.
	Of January.
	I am back on February?
	in February?
	What's the good news?
	Yes.
	What is that good news that it's a short month?
	It's bad news.
	Makes time fly more.
	Yes, indeed, everybody.
	And let's go to Peter in Walla Walla, Washington.
	Hi, Dennis.
	It's a pleasure to speak with you.
	Thank you.
	Yes.
	Earlier in the show, you said you have only the best people on your PragerU videos.
	I'd like to challenge you to explain how Adam Carolla is on there, then.
	Oh, he's definitely one of the best people.
	He's one of the brightest human beings that I know, and one of the finest, one of the clearest thinking, and the funniest.
	Other than that, he's trouble.
	Huh?
	He's how I found you, so that was tongue-in-cheek.
	Oh, cool.
	Well, I took you seriously, and I'm glad you called.
	It allowed me to praise him.
	The guy is remarkable.
	And the programs we do together around the country, which of course we haven't done in a year, are really something to see.
	Some of them I think are on the internet.
	And of course we have a movie together, No Safe Spaces.
	An Evening with Dennis and Adam?
	Yeah?
	Not An Evening with Adam and Dennis?
	Really?
	Dennis and Adam?
	Age before beauty.
	I guess that's the reason.
	Anyway, you should see the movie No Safe Spaces.
	It's at SalemNow.com, by the way.
	Yes, my friends, let's see.
	What are you guys calling?
	Why do I think horror movies are so popular?
	I love these questions.
	I do.
	You know I do.
	I am puzzled somewhat by the joy of watching people terrified.
	So my answer is, I have made peace with the fact that people have natures, and unless they do evil with them, I just chalk it up to a different nature.
	I can't stand horror movies.
	I'll tell you why.
	I can't stand being scared because life has enough scary.
	Why do I want to go to the movies to be scared anymore?
	I really wonder if you realize how scary real life is.
	I mean, you know, you know about the Gulag and you know about Auschwitz and you know about the ease with which freedom is destroyed.
	Those people are as likely to like horror movies.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, everybody, bless you and have a wonderful weekend.
