	Thank you.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	It's an honor to be with you.
	I don't throw words around.
	It is an honor.
	I want you to know, I was asked at my last Fireside Chat, my weekly PragerU podcast, I guess, is that what we would call it?
	With my trusty dog, Otto.
	And one of the questions...
	Submitted was, who did I think would win the Super Bowl?
	So it is on record.
	You could watch, just go fireside chat, Dennis Prager.
	You will see, I said, the Tampa Bay Bucs.
	Just want you to know, this is not one of these, oh, I told you six months ago, I predicted it.
	It's a very interesting philosophical question.
	I love that part of sports.
	The other aspects, the philosophical, the human, they fascinate me.
	So here's an interesting one.
	And I, the reviewer, are free to comment on this as we will continue to show about the slightly more significant subjects.
	But I want to talk to you as well about the ads.
	I watched every ad.
	I didn't watch the game, but I watched every ad.
	Read a lot about the game.
	Anyway, the question is, who's more important, a great quarterback or a great coach?
	I'm not sure that this solved that problem, by the way.
	I'm not taking a stand on this.
	But the arguments are that Tom Brady, who came from the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowls, He has now, you realize, do you folks know, he has won more Super Bowls, I believe, than any franchise has won Super Bowls.
	What team has won the most Super Bowls?
	The Tom Brady team.
	I believe that's true.
	Be that as it may, what is Belichick's first name?
	Bill?
	Bill Belichick is a great coach, no question about it.
	But they allowed Brady to leave the team, the New England Patriots.
	He went to Tampa Bay and then won a Super Bowl, whereas the Patriots did not appear in the Super Bowl.
	So that is the great philosophical question.
	Do either of you have a thought on what is more important, a great coach or a great quarterback?
	Okay.
	I thought you would say, living martyr, great quarterback, because you think coaching is somewhat overrated.
	You're so distant from football.
	No, I agree.
	But I want to speak to that.
	I watch very carefully, and if I'm wrong, please inform me.
	But the Star Spangled Banner was sung with respect.
	I didn't notice any players not standing.
	If some players didn't show up, I don't care about that.
	I care about what you do publicly.
	I don't care about what you do privately.
	So if you don't want to show up for the National Anthem, I have contempt for your decision.
	However, you are not disgracing it in public.
	So it seemed to me that the players were there, the National Anthem.
	Was sung, and I thought it was nicely sung, actually.
	So those were...
	I think the NFL was so burned by its cowardice.
	It's only cowardice.
	About siding with Black Lives Matter, the movement, not the idea.
	All decent humans acknowledge Black Lives Matter.
	It's the movement that is a violent and disruptive and Marxist movement.
	I mean, it's a hate group as far as I'm concerned, and everybody knows that.
	But, of course, if you said that on Twitter, you would lose your Twitter account.
	Is that fair to say?
	If you said Black Lives Matter is a hate group, you think you'd lose your Twitter account?
	There's a chance.
	Yeah, there's a chance.
	he says.
	I'll play for you some of the ads.
	They were quite innocuous.
	My sense was, with advertisers, they are so scared.
	They're even scared of being slightly funny.
	The humor was so childlike.
	Did you see any of the ads?
	Okay, I watched them all.
	And to the extent that there was humor, it was truly...
	Eighth grade level humor.
	I'm not knocking it.
	I'm merely describing they're all so scared.
	Decades ago, not many decades ago, but decades ago, sexy women were a big part of many of the ads.
	You don't see that at all now.
	That would be called misogynist.
	There is a disproportionate number of minorities in the ad so that they're not called racist.
	There was one bizarre one about saying you're sorry.
	And I forgot what the ad was for.
	It's not even one that I'm going to play for you.
	And people are just saying they're sorry for different things.
	So one of them is a man saying, I'm sorry for mansplaining.
	Saying to a woman, what is mansplaining, do you know?
	Is it explaining something as a man?
	Yeah, yeah, fine.
	I thought I knew what it was.
	Explain something to someone, typically a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.
	Okay, explaining something to someone, particularly a woman, in a manner that is perceived as condescending.
	Oh, okay.
	Is there woman-splaining?
	Or is it not found in nature that a woman would hold a man in contempt?
	No, it's not found in nature.
	It's not found in nature.
	So it's like I'm describing a flying elephant.
	I see.
	I get it.
	And another one is somebody is...
	Some woman says to another woman, to a white woman, I'm sorry for...
	Calling you Karen.
	But she said, oh, my name is Karen.
	And then she says, oh, I'm sorry, your name is Karen.
	So those were two of the, maybe I should have played that.
	I don't remember what, somebody will inform me what particular product that was.
	But in general, there was nothing to report.
	I even watched, to give you an idea of how committed I am to you, my listeners, I even watched the halftime show.
	The last time I enjoyed a halftime show was when they had college marching bands before a very large number of you were born.
	Remember that?
	When there were marching bands on the field?
	The glitz, the special effects, I guess people love them.
	That's fine.
	I'm not...
	I'm not condescending to them.
	I'm just telling you I don't enjoy them.
	I didn't particularly enjoy this one.
	It was not here or there.
	But I'd be very curious to know what the average American watching the Super Bowl halftime thought.
	I share my...
	Producers' contempt for the NFL and the NBA completely alienated me for the foreseeable future.
	The radical politicization of sports has been a terrible thing, but everything the left touches, it ruins everything.
	There is no exception.
	There hasn't been since Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
	Lenin.
	That is the consistency.
	Of it.
	Well, I welcome you to the show once more.
	1-8 Prager 776 The impeachment is scheduled for when?
	Tomorrow.
	I want you to imagine if Republicans were in power impeaching A democratic president who had been defeated and was no longer president.
	The hysteria, the riots, riots, literal riots that would go on in this country.
	The 24-7, speaking of a police state, and not to mention its absurdity, but the completely untrustworthy media.
	are on board for an impeachment of someone who isn't in office.
	They are using, as I said from the beginning, the Democrats, the left, are using the January 6th attack on the Capitol as the Nazis used the Reichstag fire.
	We will be back.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	2020 was the largest percentage increase in homicides in American history.
	Murder was up nearly 37% in a sample of 57 large and medium-sized cities.
	Based on preliminary estimates, at least 2,000 more Americans, most of them black, were killed in 2020 than in 2019. You would think that would be a heavy focus or primary focus for the ruling class media.
	The local murder increases in 2020 were as following.
	95% in Milwaukee.
	78% in Louisville.
	74% in Seattle, 72% in Minneapolis, 62% in New Orleans, and 58% in Atlanta.
	A lot of people blame it just purely on the pandemic stress.
	Do you not remember the defund the police narrative that swept our country for months?
	And Minneapolis basically did defund their police?
	One of the reasons why some of the police officers in Washington, D.C. at the Capitol tragedy did not have lethal weapons is because some of them were disarmed by Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C. You
	know what I can't get out of my head?
	Why doesn't this woman wear a mask?
	They're all so mask-friendly in the White House now.
	Biden is often behind the Resolute desk with his mask on in the Oval Office.
	You hardly see Biden without a mask, ever.
	Somebody tweeted out last night, or yesterday, Jen Psaki should be wearing a mask.
	When she does her press conferences, perhaps double masks if she wants to set a good example.
	If every American needs to wear a mask while working indoors, she does too.
	Also, isn't she on federal property?
	Americans demand consistency.
	Now, do the rules not apply to the White House press secretary?
	How does that work?
	She's standing at a podium with...
	Numerous particles coming out of her mouth as she's answering questions that she apparently has been given in advance from the White House Press Corps.
	I had my producer, who's pretty nifty at tracking things down, I said, Derek, what has she said about it?
	He said, well, I don't think she's ever been asked.
	Well, of course she hasn't ever been asked.
	You think this news media would be asking her that?
	You think this White House press corps would ask her that?
	They'd ask Kayleigh McEnany.
	They'd be shrieking demands at her.
	They'd be calling her a super spreader.
	They'd be bellowing that she's killing people.
	Jen Psaki?
	Nah, you don't want to wear a mask?
	That's okay with us.
	okay by us keep up with what's trending subscribe on YouTube today trending and now on the Hugh Hewitt show mansion comes on last night he says very reassuring thing he's not going to screw with the bird rule $15 minimum wage is not in there
	we're going to use reconciliation but if it doesn't have bipartisan you you you Thank you.
	Alright, my friends, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	I've got, needless to say, a lot to speak to you about.
	The impeachment is staggering.
	See, by the way, among the many staggering elements is the claim that the Democrats would like unity, which I said was a gigantic lie, but I think it's a gigantic lie when anybody says it.
	I'm totally consistent on this.
	Everybody who calls for unity wants unity on their terms.
	I would love unity.
	I wish everybody acknowledged the American Trinity, e pluribus unum liberty, and God we trust.
	That's my understanding of unity.
	Decades ago, there was a movement and bill to make English the official language of America.
	That's unity.
	You get it?
	That's unity.
	If we all speak the same language, it's terrific if you learn another language.
	Absolutely.
	I'm a big fan of people from other countries raising their kids at home in their native language.
	I wish every American were bilingual or trilingual.
	I'm quadrilingual.
	I love languages.
	But the way you have E Pluribus Unum for many one is that everybody speak a language.
	The Democrats were against that then.
	They thought they would get more Latino votes if they opposed.
	It wasn't even official.
	It was just an announcement.
	In other words, it wasn't a law.
	It was an announcement.
	They wouldn't even make the announcement that English is the official language of the United States of America.
	They've never been for unity.
	If Americans are united, it's bad news for them.
	Unless they're united as leftists.
	So, hey, let's have unity.
	We'll impeach the man half of America voted for.
	Alan, he's out of office.
	And for the second time.
	But we're for unity.
	And people believe that lie.
	The New York Times spreads the lie of unity.
	They lie.
	If they print it, they lie.
	They're lying.
	Why is this not obvious to everybody?
	Unity.
	Oh, what a beautiful inaugural address to call for unity.
	And he speaks of white supremacy in the very same nothing.
	It was the most problematic.
	Not problematic.
	Pablamatic address ever given by a president.
	But of course, the man could have read baseball scores from the 1920s and they would have said it was great.
	Look, he's unifying America talking about Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
	Isn't that beautiful?
	It's astonishing.
	1-8 Prager 7-7-6.
	Don in Chicago.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hi Dennis, how are you?
	I'm well, thank you.
	I was wondering if you saw the commercial featuring the life story of Jessica Long, the 13-time paralytic swimmer.
	It was absolutely fun.
	She swims through her whole life story in a pool.
	And it's amazing because she was born in an orphanage in Russia and the whole story on the commercial is a phone call from when she was a baby as she's swimming through an orphanage and the person on the phone explaining to her adoptive mother that she's got some problems that she's gonna have to have her legs amputated.
	Right.
	Well, let me tell you, I saw the commercial.
	I had tears in my eyes.
	One reason is one of my two sons is adopted, and I have a very, very warm spot for adoption.
	I think it's one of God's gifts to humanity, as my son is a gift to me.
	And the couple that...
	Listen, the story in a nutshell is a couple wanted to adopt a child.
	They went to Russia to do so because in America there are almost no newborns for adoption.
	They're either aborted or is this you're playing via call?
	Is this the opening?
	Okay.
	That's the phone ringing.
	That's the phone ringing.
	Okay, so that's the call that this woman got, Mrs. Long.
	you.
	And she said something to the effect that, of course, but there's no question, this is a blessing.
	It might not be easy, but it'll be amazing.
	I can't wait to meet her.
	Isn't that something?
	I have no knowledge of this.
	I didn't even know of this story.
	I then did research on it.
	I was so moved.
	And she's a beautiful and obviously extremely talented swimmer.
	She's second most medals, I believe, for the Paralympics.
	So her legs from the knee down were amputated.
	She obviously functions phenomenally well.
	And if you'd meet her, you wouldn't even realize that she had that situation.
	I would love to know if the parents who adopted her were Christian.
	If I had to bet, I would say yes.
	Because my experience, I have a lot of experience in the adoption world, is that when there is a child with issues, born with issues, and this child wasn't even a newborn, I think over a year old, I think, they tended to be Christians who would adopt these children.
	So yes, it was a very beautiful commercial.
	I was glad that you raised it, Don.
	Obviously, I was moved.
	Plymouth, Minnesota, and Jeff, hello.
	Well, hi, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	I just thought you might get a kick out of my theory why Patrick Mahomes looked a little flat during the game.
	Every time I saw him on the sideline, he had his mask on, and I don't think he was able to get enough oxygen while he was sitting out.
	Well, why would that have been true of all the other games that he played?
	Well, I don't remember seeing him wearing a mask.
	Oh, alright.
	That's an interesting question.
	Sean, do you have any idea?
	Is this unique in his thing?
	It's hard for me to believe that he didn't wear a mask every game of the season, and he did at the Super Bowl.
	Masks are, for all intents and purposes in the United States, outside of hospitals, They're essentially talismans.
	They're rabbit's feet for the superstitious of our society.
	The Dennis Prager Show.
	live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
	Trending now on The Larry Oller Show.
	.
	Thank you.
	I ask you, those of you who engage in that stupid thought experiment after the Capitol riot, well, suppose they had been black.
	I got a phone call from my daughter, and she's my granddaughter, and she said, Pop!
	Suppose they had been mostly black.
	And Biden says, nobody could tell me that the response would not have been different.
	Okay, nobody can tell me.
	That America's response would not be different if President Barack Obama were impeached based upon these bogus grounds and then faced a trial after he left office and the judge presiding over the trial dislikes him to the point where he already voted to convict and expel him from office on account when not a single Republican joined.
	America would be on fire, and you know it.
	How many times did somebody get accused of being racist simply because they opposed a policy by Obama?
	Now, the new lawyer, his name is Dave Schoen, says, look, here's what we're going to say.
	We're going to say this whole thing is unconstitutional, and it is.
	There shouldn't be a trial.
	And there shouldn't.
	We don't have jurisdiction.
	Court doesn't have jurisdiction, and they don't.
	But he also made the point that I made from the very beginning, that is Joe Biden really wanted to heal, really wanted to reach out, pick up the phone, call Schumer and say, call off the dog, because this is stupid.

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

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Borka.
	I think the Lincoln Project is specifically a smear campaign to break down what we might call Trumpism, what I think could be better called MAGA, Make America Great Again, I know it's your show, so if you want to call it America first, I suppose that's okay, too.
	MAGA is fine.
	MAGA, I think, is probably most appropriate, though, which is this kind of not nationalistic, but nationistic idea that people should be able to have nations that are sovereign, not subject to supranational entities.
	It's not like rah, rah, rah, USA, USA, although if people want to feel that way about their country, more power to them.
	But that's not the point.
	Poland should be able to be Poland, France should be able to be France, the UK should be able to be the UK, and so on.
	And it's a broader philosophy in that regard.
	and that we should, in fact, pursue our own national interests.

	My friends, I'm Dennis Prager, and I have more for you.
	Listen to this.
	CNN repeatedly claimed Capitol Officer Sicknick died due to a fire extinguisher hit.
	Now they've quietly admitted that may not be true.
	Interesting little sidebar here.
	I had, in one of my columns, I described...
	I was talking about the Capitol attack, riot, whatever you wish to call it.
	And I accept insurrection, because that's a lie.
	That's just a left-wing lie.
	Left-wing lie is redundant, but nevertheless needs to be pointed out.
	And I purposely avoided saying that he was killed by a fire extinguisher.
	That's how strict I am about truth.
	Unless I can get it confirmed, right-wing or left-wing rumors do not get reported by me.
	Now, as it happens, my syndicator added fire extinguisher to the article.
	And it's a great lesson for everybody not to report what isn't confirmed.
	Or, for that matter, You can report if you say, allegedly, or it looks like, add some qualifier, and then you're okay.
	CNN had been reporting this constantly about the fire extinguisher.
	I don't even know where it started.
	It would be very interesting to find out where the officer was killed.
	By being beaten with a fire extinguisher.
	Where did that even originate?
	Does anyone know?
	Is there a single video?
	There's so much videoed from that day.
	There's no video of it.
	The network is repeatedly...
	This is from the National Pulse.
	I'm not familiar with the National Pulse.
	You like them?
	They're very good.
	New conservative.
	A new conservative site?
	Yeah.
	Good to know.
	Despite dozens of results for CNN mentioning the fire extinguisher, there were just two correcting the record since the report was released.
	Where is this now?
	Posted on Tuesday, CNN's news story was not shared by any of their leading personalities, reporters, or anchors.
	The eighth paragraph of the story claims...
	According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma.
	Any.
	Any.
	Not from a fist.
	Let alone a fire extinguisher.
	So investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true.
	This is buried in a CNN article.
	Did they even report this, or was it only in writing?
	Right, because they lie, and they don't take back their lies.
	One possibility being considered by investigators is that Sicknick became ill after interacting with chemical irritants like pepper spray or bear spray that was deployed.
	Oh, achemical irritant.
	That was deployed into the crowd.
	But investigators reviewing video of the officer's time around the Capitol haven't been able to confirm that in tape that has been recovered so far.
	Case also could be complicated if Sicknick had a pre-existing medical condition.
	Despite dozens of results for CNN mentioning the fire extinguisher, there are just two correcting the record.
	Since their report was released.
	So they give examples from people on CNN, just listen to this, for why the former president was right in calling it the lying media.
	Poppy Harlow, are you familiar with Poppy Harlow?
	Claimed, we turn now to a tribute happening soon for fallen Capitol Hill officer...
	Brian Sicknick, who died, was killed.
	He was killed when one of the rioters hit him with a fire extinguisher.
	He was killed.
	Anderson Cooper, a Capitol Police officer, was beaten reportedly with a fire extinguisher.
	Ana Cabrera, Officer Brian Sicknick died after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher during the hours-long attack.
	Erin Burnett asked, Why is Trump trying so hard to make those claims the focal point of the Senate trial, charging him with inciting insurrection?
	Does he think that the lie would justify a mob of his supporters trampling a woman?
	Does it justify police officers being hit, beaten with a hockey stick and crutch?
	Does he think Brian Sicknick working the Capitol that died after hitting the head with a fire extinguisher?
	Wow.

	This is Lon He Chen of the Hoover Institution for townhall.com.
	The Biden administration announced in their first week that the U.S. is rejoining the World Health Organization.
	But the WHO is a flawed group, one that has performed poorly while the world has struggled with COVID-19.
	Early on, the group was far too deferential to China, even parroting Beijing's early claim that the virus could not be transmitted between humans.
	Since then, an independent panel concluded that the WHO dithered in its response, waiting too long to declare an international emergency.
	All the while, the WHO has continued to block Taiwan's participation because of political objections from the Chinese government, despite the fact that the world has much to learn from Taiwan's exceptional response to the virus.
	Before rejoining the WHO, we should have demanded some accountability and reform from the group for the $400 million in taxpayer dollars we send to it each year.
	It looks like we'll keep on writing blank checks to the WHO, which they are more than happy to keep cashing.

	This is now a playbook.
	The secret history.
	Of the shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election.
	This is not something where they just are going to disassemble this.
	This is how they're going to do it from this point forward.
	So what are the big takeaways?
	Number one, the left is just now realizing how much power they really have over us.
	I think they're still learning how to use that power.
	Number two, The left is willing at almost all costs to sacrifice truth for power.
	Number three, persuasion means very little when the other side is actually concerned of how the election is going to be conducted.
	You know, we joked around throughout the first couple weeks after early November, after the election, we said it doesn't matter how people vote, it matters who counts the votes.
	Remember we joked about that?
	Well...
	They say here, in Podhorser's presentations, winning the vote was only the first step to winning the election.
	After that came winning the count.
	Winning the count.
	Can you believe it?
	Not just what people think, but actually how the votes are counted.
	Winning the certification, winning the electoral college, and winning the transition.
	This is now going to be how they will handle every single election from this point forward.

	Pound 250, say Dennis Prager.
	Pure talk is simply smarter wireless.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	There is a video in Washington, D.C. of a BLM protest.
	I'm not sure what they're protesting.
	They got the president they want.
	But okay, anyway, this is what they do for a living.
	Boredom is a very, very powerful impetus in life.
	And when you have no meaning, you find meaning in some sort of radical ideology.
	So, anyway, they were out there.
	By the way, they're mostly white, just for the record.
	I just want you to know that.
	And they just slapped police officers around.
	I have no idea if they were arrested.
	You're arrested if you go onto the lawn of the Capitol and with no bail.
	We're going to talk about that later.
	This is the first time in my life that I have...
	I've never said this.
	I've always objected to it.
	The United States now has political prisoners because the left is creating a police state.
	I wrote a piece months ago, dress rehearsal for a police state.
	Because I know the left.
	I know the left as well as I know members of my family.
	That's what they do.
	They destroy everything that is good, and then they take over power with the chaos that they have created.
	I don't know what it is in the human condition that finds this palatable and desirable, but I'm not a big fan of human nature.
	So the dark parts go left.
	Not liberal.
	Liberals are just cowards.
	But the left, they're cowards because they don't attack the left.
	That's why.
	So I can be very specific with you.
	To be a liberal and think conservatives are the greater threat to this country is to engage in self-delusion that is actually painful, since I know dear people who engage in such self-delusion.
	Okay.
	Let's see here.
	Mike in Orlando, Florida.
	Hello.
	Hey, Dan, it's always a pleasure.
	When you were talking about that adoptee from Russia, I lost it.
	Her story is my story.
	I'm losing it again.
	Back in 1963, upstate New York, My parents who found out they couldn't have kids got a phone call and it was actually like January 2nd of 1963 and they were told they had a little boy for them and
	they were told that He was available when they could provide, and they'd already gone through the investigations and all that stuff at the time.
	And so my mom said, well, of course we'll take him.
	And then, you know, seconds later, the lady on the phone said, well, don't get too attached.
	Because he's got childhood encephalitis and he'll probably die.
	And this really pissed off my mom.
	And she said, well, we'll take him anyway.
	And they prayed me out of that.
	And at three, I was on my first swim team, so the swimming thing.
	So here you are at 58, is that correct?
	I'm sorry?
	Here you are at 58 years of age?
	Yeah.
	And so I heard that.
	But they did it again.
	They did it for my sister.
	Were your parents a Christian?
	Oh, devout Catholics.
	Devout Catholics.
	Thank you.
	But religion doesn't matter.
	Nah.
	People will be good without religion.
	Right?
	Of course.
	So how did I make that guess?
	All these secular couples adopting kids with encephalitis or two legs removed.
	There are.
	I have no doubt that there are, by the way.
	There are wonderful secular people.
	But the society is crumbling in the West and in the United States because of the crumbling of religion.
	Okay?
	It's really literally as simple as that.
	The post-Christian world stinks.
	Okay?
	And by the way, a lot of the Christian world in earlier centuries was pretty bad as well.
	Truth is truth.
	But the death of Christianity is a bigger problem.

	Here's the broader issue.
	If you saw John Kerry, if you saw Gina McCarthy last week, they are so cavalier in condescending about these jobs.
	Oh, they need to make better choices.
	Some jobs need to be sacrificed.
	Here's the big issue, Hugh, and it's a big political issue.
	Every time in the last decade that the National Democrats have had a choice between the men and women who build things in America, a lot of my constituents, energy, resource development, pipelines, and the choice between them and the far-left radical coastal environmental groups and interests, they always go with the radical groups.
	And I quote these union leaders, trade unions in particular, in my letter to President Biden.
	But here's the argument I've been making for six years with my colleagues, and I think it's more important than ever.
	These are men and women that we should embrace.
	I won election in 2014 by a little under three points.
	I had no union support.
	My re-elect just happened.
	I won by 13 support.
	And the vast number of the building trades in Alaska endorsed me.
	They will get behind Republicans who believe in strong jobs, working families.
	And I think that's a huge part of the future of our party.
	And the Democrats, just disregard them and talk to them in a condescending way.
	We should embrace these great men and women who build things in our country.
	and now's the time to do it. - Seemingly misrepresenting where she was and what she was doing during the Capitol tragedy.
	For what reason, I'm not exactly sure.
	I don't know.
	So deeply rattled.
	I'm still processing the end of my life when I come out.
	And I come out, and this man is a Capitol Police officer.
	There was no partner, was not yelling, you know, Capitol Police, etc., etc.
	But then it didn't feel right, because he was looking at me with a tremendous amount of anger and hostility.
	So this was a Capitol Police officer that was trying to help her.
	And she immediately said that he was looking at me with a lot of anger and hostility.
	Let's go to cut 36, where the story gets even more complicated.
	Cut 36. Hello, my friends.
	Heath wants to know, and George, if I can recommend reputable adoption agencies.
	I just, I don't know.
	Most people, I don't know how they get, I just don't have an answer for you, Heath.
	I can only speak in the macro about adoption.
	That it's one of the great gifts in life.
	See, I have very little, I put very little value in blood.
	As I've said, and I should say it, you know what, I should say it again, it just hit me, every year I did a pro-adoption hour, and I haven't done it in years now.
	I'll have to do it this year.
	As I say when I talk about this subject, I have no interest in passing my seed to my children.
	I have interest in passing my values to my children.
	You know, people will know, can you love an adopted child like a biological child?
	Well, I have both, and of course, to me, the question is silly.
	But I could prove it in so many ways.
	Ask a person who asks that question, can you love a dog?
	They'll think you're crazy.
	Oh my God, of course you could love a dog.
	Are you biologically related to the dog?
	So, if you could love a dog, you don't think you could love a child?
	Oh my God.
	That's an example of...
	From my perspective, offering clarity on a subject.
	It's a gift.
	Does it always work out?
	Do biological children always work out?
	And here's one more.
	This should really be the creme de la creme of the arguments.
	Would you rather have a child that's your blood and doesn't share your values?
	We're a child that isn't your blood and shares your values.
	The question, my friends, is what is known as rhetorical.
	Because everybody, every single person listening has the exact same answer.
	So, yes, that commercial was very touching.
	As was the man's call whose parents adopted him.
	Being told he would die early from encephalitis.
	He's now 58. I hope he doesn't die early.
	All right, everybody.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	moment you're listening to the Dennis Prager show this is Albert Moeller for townhall.com The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order.
	That means policies.
	It means a covenant.
	In our case, it means a constitution.
	As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history.
	It's a remarkable document.
	All of that came to the fore, the inviolate events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College.
	At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient.
	But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place.
	It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.
	We will never give up.
	We will never concede.
	It doesn't happen.
	You don't concede when there's theft.
	It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm, once again, our commitment to ordered liberty.
	It's the American way.

	I think the Lincoln Project is specifically a smear campaign to break down what we might call Trumpism, what I think could be better called MAGA, Make America Great Again, I know it's your show, so if you want to call it America First, I suppose that's okay, too.
	MAGA is fine.
	MAGA, I think, is probably most appropriate, though, which is this kind of not nationalistic, but nationistic idea that people should be able to have nations that are sovereign, not subject to supranational entities.
	It's not like rah, rah, rah, USA, USA, although if people want to feel that way about their country, more power to them.
	But that's not the point.
	Poland should be able to be Poland, France should be able to be France, the UK should be able to be the UK, and so on.
	And it's a broader philosophy in that regard.
	And that we should, in fact, pursue our own national interests as each individual nation, which is really what MAGA... MAGA is that applied to the American context.
	And so these guys are smear artists who are attempting to destroy and discredit that because they are making money and their people are making money hand over fist from the same foreign wars and the same garbage that people turn to Trump to get away from.
	And I say that being I was horrified in 2016 by Trump.

	They just kind of shy away from this.
	And Gary Carter was a phenomenal person.
	We admired him, but we didn't understand him because his ability to play baseball was great.
	But also at the same time, he was so happy.
	His joy was so real.
	And we all wanted that, but everybody thought he was, you know, they thought he was fake, but he wasn't fake.
	Gary Carter was a Christian from the age of 20. All the way into his whole entire career and his life being out of the big leagues.
	So he lived a completely different life.
	Yeah, he was very successful, Hall of Fame, but at the same time, he lived the life of the Lord and he was a prime example.
	Him and Mookie Wilson, two guys on our team that were part of what a godly man looked like, what a man looks like without a uniform on.
	And I think that represents more than anything than having a uniform on and maybe struggling and going through some hard times, you know, from a professional standpoint.
	But from a spiritual standpoint, they didn't have to go through that process in their life when they were playing.
	And I wish I could have experienced that.
	I had to experience so many.

	I was multi-talented.
	I could play, but I couldn't live.

	For what reason?
	I'm not exactly sure.
	I don't know.
	So deeply rattled.
	I'm still processing the end of my life when I come out.
	And I can't.
	Well, hello everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	I hope you had a good weekend.
	I'm very curious to see what the Super Bowl ratings were.
	I know the NFL ratings have gone down dramatically, as have the NBA, both ruined by the cowardice of the NBA and the NFL in being swayed by the mob and getting into support for the BLM movement, which I don't care.
	If they did it individually, that's their business.
	But once you start plastering the courts with BLM, I have no interest in watching you.
	I have no interest in watching players disgrace the flag, disrespect the flag.
	And the New York Times and others who claim that not standing for the national anthem is not disrespectful to the flag is just part of the ability of leftists to lie to themselves.
	The whole point of standing is to respect it.
	So if you don't stand, you're not respecting it.
	Why is that not obvious to an 8-year-old?
	Who was the famous singer who came out for Colin Kaepernick yesterday?
	Everybody was reporting it.
	Very angry that the NFL didn't mention Colin Kaepernick.
	They owe him an apology.
	Like he doesn't owe the country an apology.
	Nike owes the country an apology.
	The world of distortion, the Amariah Carey, that's right, exactly.
	To qualify as a...
	Well, I need to choose my words carefully, so I'll put it in another way.
	The disproportionate number of fools in the entertainment industry is distressing.
	There you go.
	That's a perfectly adequate way of putting it.
	What is amazing is their arrogance.
	I'm a great singer, therefore I am wise about society.
	See, that's what it is.
	Remember, self-esteem is a major, major factor in the left.
	They're better than George Washington.
	They're better than Abraham Lincoln.
	So certainly they're better than you, who voted for Donald Trump.
	You're scum.
	That's really their view.
	Was the woman who wrote it, was it in the New Yorker, that it turns out that a person plowed her driveway beautifully after the snow, so she doesn't know what to do because it was such a sweet gesture, but the people are Trump supporters.
	If I had to live on an island with Trump supporters or Biden supporters just on the basis of nice...
	I would gamble with the Trump supporters.
	Right?
	I mean, there are nice people who supported Biden.
	There are unnice people who supported Trump.
	There's no question about both.
	But, if I had to gamble with my neighbors, who they might be, I would prefer on the basis of a lifetime of knowing both.
	That there are far more, there's a greater proportion of nice people on the right than on the left.
	That's the way, that has been my perception.
	You should all watch the PragerU video of the woman, the Democrat, liberal, I don't know if she was a leftist, she was certainly a liberal her whole life, in New Hampshire.
	She went to a Trump rally to check out how disgusting Trump supporters were.
	And it changed her life.
	Literally changed her life.
	They turned out to be really, really, really nice, even finding out she was a Democrat.
	Friends told her to bring at least a couple of people with her to protect her.
	It's like, are you going to believe me, the media, or your lying eyes?
	The depiction of Trump supporters, 76 million people are lowlifes.
	That's what they believe.
	Then there are people like me and people like the people I work with and the people like Victor Davis Hanson, who I'll be having on.
	How do they explain us?
	Just sort of these aberrations.
	Last week, And this woman writes this despicable article.
	And it was about Christians.
	And I've invited her on.
	She won't come on.
	She reported, right?
	Somebody wrote her a letter.
	You just told me this today.
	Somebody asked, well, you know, he's invited you on.
	Of course they don't come on.
	They never come on.
	And you know, I will so be respectful.
	As I was with Howard Zinn, whom I thought was a creep.
	But if I'm not respectful to guests, they won't come on.
	But even if I'm respectful, they won't come on.
	The left doesn't debate.
	It smears.
	Why would they debate even dialogue?
	Because the intellectual bases of leftism are made of quicksand.
	When is it going to come out that ivermectin could save lives? - Well, it's coming out more and more now.
	I have accused the American medical establishment of killing tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Americans, making the lockdowns seem plausible.
	Had we concentrated on therapeutics instead of vaccinations, which we're told now, you still have to wear a mask.
	We'll still need to have lockdowns.
	This is an amazing thing.
	So what the hell is the use?
	We should have...
	Concentrated on therapeutics.
	Oh, you have COVID symptoms?
	Take this.
	And we have hydroxychloroquine and zinc and ivermectin.
	Cheap, over-the-counter, but they don't make...
	Do you know how much does the CDC get or the NIH get from pharmaceutical companies?
	I know they get a lot of money.
	I would like to know how much.
	Do you know, I always used to defend pharmaceutical companies, big pharma, big pharma, big pharma.
	All of a sudden, the left is such a big fan of big pharma.
	Who's going to make a billion dollars on these things?
	Anybody?
	But you don't make any money on ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, let alone on zinc and vitamin D. The collapse of the medical establishment.
	And its journals has been another example of whatever the left touches it ruins.

	I talked about some of the ads on the Super Bowl yesterday.
	I watched the ads.
	I didn't watch the game.
	It turns out to have been apparently a boring game anyway.
	And although I did predict it on my fireside chat last week, I did say Tampa Bay would win.
	And I don't even want to tell you the number of people who thought I was out of my mind, given Mahomes and Kansas City.
	I won't even mention their names.
	Could you play...
	There was a lovely ad.
	Who put out the ad?
	Was it Toyota?
	Who put out the happiness ad?
	Really?
	You sure?
	Michelob Ultra?
	Okay, take it away.
	Listen to this ad.
	What if we were wrong this whole time?
	Wrong in thinking that joy happens only at the end.
	After the sacrifice.
	After the commitment.
	After the win.
	What if happiness has always been there?
	Fueling the run toward greatness.
	It's not a distraction.
	But instead, something more vital.
	What if joy is the whole game?
	Not just the end game.
	So ask yourself, are you happy because you win?
	Or do you win because you're happy?
	Can I kick it?
	Can I kick it?
	That's good. - Okay.
	Are you happy because you win, or do you win because you're happy?
	Good message.
	I was stunned.
	A healthy, good message.
	From a beer commercial, as it turns out.
	There was another beer commercial of, have a beer, that's the way people should unite.
	Did you see that?
	Yeah, have a beer.
	Alright, 1-8 Prager 776. I think the Lincoln Project is specifically a smear campaign to break down what we might call Trumpism,
	what I think could be better called MAGA, Make America Great Again.
	I know it's your show, so if you want to call it America First, I suppose that's okay, too.

	Hi.
	Hey, Dennis.
	I know you frequently refer to how you try to have the left on, and they won't come on and defend their positions, and I understand why.
	Who I'm missing is the right.
	The Weekly Standard, a favorite magazine of mine, and I know of yours, you know, the Brett Stevens, the Steve Hayes, the Stephen Hayes, the John Goldbergs, the Bill Kristol, who's now a Democrat.
	Are you not inviting these people on the show?
	Are they just refusing?
	I'm not inviting.
	I think their position is indefensible, too.
	Right.
	It's correct.
	Except for Brett Stevens.
	Brett Stevens, I've...
	I've been even on the New York Times Facebook page with him in a live dialogue.
	I've written, and he's written an article about me, I've written an article about him.
	So Brett Stevens is an exception.
	Brett Stevens made PragerU videos, and I'll tell you exactly why.
	It's part of my belief that transparency is a virtue.
	Many of them are my friends, and it would be too hard for me.
	To attack them publicly.
	And that's the reason I haven't had them on.
	Understood.
	Okay.
	I'm glad you asked, and I'm glad I answered.

	Some are very...
	Some is a painful disappointment to me.
	I mean, so what am I going to do?
	There is a human being behind this microphone, not just a person with values and ideas and so on.
	Okay.
	Fair question, fair answer.
	And a completely honest one.
	All right.
	Let's see here.
	Paul in Woodland Hills, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Big fan.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you.
	So, here's my contention.
	If Democrats continuously elect Leftists.
	Aren't Democrats the enemy?
	The enemy of?
	That we are in a civil war.
	That's right.
	I've said for 20 years we're in a civil war.
	Correct.
	Go on.
	Correct.
	And my contention is, you don't mean the enemy.
	I contend that there are the Democrats.
	You continue to call them the leftists.
	But in the same way that we sat back and said, Well, you know, all Americans weren't bad, but the communists were the ones who had control.
	All Germans aren't bad, but the Nazis were the ones who had control.
	But Democrats continue to elect leftists.
	Correct.
	Yes, that's right.
	The Democrats are ruining the country.
	That's correct.
	For a never-Trump-were-to-vote-Democrat?
	To think that Donald Trump was a greater danger to this country than the Democrats?
	It's so disappointing to me that there are people that I've been involved with much of my life who think that way.
	They're a very, very small minority.
	They were very loud.
	The left gave them a voice.
	They were, and they're good people in many cases, but they were used by the left, and they allowed themselves to be used by the left.
	They became what Lenin called useful idiots, and they're not idiots.
	But the left thinks they're useful idiots.
	The country is divided really basically this way.
	Those who understand the lethal, fatal threat that the left poses and those who don't.
	That's it.
	It's the only division that matters.
	There are some liberals who understand the threat of the left.
	Very few, but there are.
	Alan Dershowitz is probably the best known.
	And the self-deluded.
	There's always been.
	Santayana's statement, those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it, I always thought was true, but trite.
	It's not trite.
	To see this repeated, the number of people who say nothing with regard to the takeover of this country by the left, that there is a man in prison without bail?
	For trespassing, for the misdemeanor of trespassing, but there are murderers who have no bail, who don't have to post, but they leave.
	The judiciary has been corrupted by left-wing judges.
	Corrupted.
	As corrupted as in the Soviet Union.
	Judges that do what the powers want them to do.
	We're going to talk about this issue.
	What is it?
	Coy what?
	What is his last name?
	Didn't we just...
	No.
	Griffin or something.
	I'll get it for you.
	That's the division in this country.
	Those who understand the threat of the left and those who don't.
	I wonder if the Wall Street Journal editorial page understands the threat of the left.
	For all of my broadcast career, I've spoken of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and opinion pages as the pillars of the West.
	And they are magnificent pages.
	But I don't think that the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal fully perceives the threat that the left poses.
	They're my ally.
	I admire them.
	I don't want to make that clear.
	Read them.
	But, look, my old, I don't know, is it an adage?
	That evil is not dark?
	Because it's easy to look.
	Keep your eyes open at night.
	What you can't stare at is the sun.
	Evil is so, so bright that people can't stare at it.
	They look away.
	Ernest Becker wrote a book, The Denial of Death.
	There's an even more important book to be written, The Denial of Evil.
	You know, that's...
	We ought to talk about...
	I ought to do a PragerU video on that.
	The Denial of Evil.
	People look away from evil the same way they look away from death.
	It's too painful, so it's sort of a denial.
	Until the funeral.
	We'll be back.
	We'll be back.
	Seemingly misrepresenting where she was and what she was doing during the Capitol tragedy.
	For what reason, I'm not exactly sure.
	I don't know, so deeply rattled.
	I'm still processing the end of my life when I come out.
	And I come out.
	And this man is a Capitol Police officer.
	There was no partner.
	Was not yelling, you know, Capitol Police, etc., etc.
	But then it didn't feel right.
	Because he was looking at me with a tremendous amount of anger and hostility.
	So this was a Capitol Police officer that was trying to help her and she immediately said that he was looking at me with a lot of anger and hostility.
	Let's go to cut 36 where the story gets even more complicated.
	Cut 36.
	I talked to G, my legislative director, after the fact and he said no.
	I didn't know if he was there to help us or hurt us either.
	And G was actually like, this man came with so much hostility that That G was sizing him up and didn't know if he was going to have to fight him.
	So like, you know, like so many other communities in this country, like just that presence doesn't necessarily give you a clear signal if you're safe or not.
	I want to reinforce what she just said there.
	That's a Capitol Hill police officer.
	That was there to help you, AOC.
	And you had to size him up?

	And there's another headline I saw over at Politico that caught my eye.
	No conservatives shouldn't quit on the GOP. There was a lot of party drama last night involving The freshman congresswoman from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Liz Cheney, the congresswoman from Wyoming.
	It appears the Republicans have stood by both of them.
	They're not stripping Marjorie Taylor Greene of being on any committees, and they're not stripping Liz Cheney of her leadership.
	Rich Lowry writes a pretty compelling piece, and he's not a Trump fan at all.
	The fortunes of our political parties, he writes, ebb and flow and their iterations change over time, but they are robust, deeply embedded institutions of our public life that endure even after electoral disasters and self-sabotaging wrong turns.
	I mean, there are declarations now that the Republican Party is doomed.
	A former chair of the Washington State GOP wrote in an op-ed in the Seattle Times, let's form a new Republican Party.
	There's a CNN headline, should Republicans disband the GOP? The former Republican Representative Mickey Edwards wrote an article after January 6th saying he's quitting the party because it has become the opposite of what it was.
	Rich Lowry observes, "This all seems a mite premature about a party that represents, oh, roughly half the country, and is on the cusp of a majority in the House, tied 50-50 in the Senate, and in control of the governorships in 27 states, and both the governorship and in control of the governorships in 27 states, and both the governorship and state legislature in
	All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	Julie Kelly is a columnist for American Greatness, one of the great websites.
	The latest book is Disloyal Opposition, How the Never Trump Right Tried and Failed to Take Down the President.
	But it's about her latest column at American Greatness that I have asked her to come on, titled Frightening, America's Political Prisoners.
	Really, America's First Political Prisoners.
	It's titled, America's Political Prisoners First.
	Is that correct?
	It is.
	I didn't write the headline, though, so I can see it's a little confusing.
	It's actually highly confusing, but it's irrelevant.
	The article is wonderful.
	Tell my listeners, please, about Coy Griffin.
	So Corey Griffin, people may recall, was the gentleman who started Cowboys for Trump organization.
	So they were the guys on horseback who would hold rallies and show up at various rallies that the president was hosting on horseback, and they would carry flags and Trump banners.
	So Corey Griffin was arrested based on evidence on his own social media account.
	For one misdemeanor of trespassing, being in a restricted area of the Capitol.
	And he was arrested, I believe it was January, around January 10th.
	He is still being held in jail without bond because he is a threat to the country because he does not believe that Joe Biden is the legitimately elected president of the United States.
	The story is so scary and unprecedented in maybe in American history, certainly in my lifetime, that I hope people understand what is going on here.
	So I want to make something clear just factually.
	Did he enter the Capitol or was he only on the lawn?
	He was only on the lawn in what law enforcement said was a restricted area.
	Or he was not supposed to be.
	He did not enter the Capitol.
	He did not assault a police officer.
	He had no weapons on him.
	He did nothing wrong.
	Except to be a supporter of Donald Trump.
	And he is now in prison for how long?
	Throughout his trial, the judge said.
	They legitimately said, Dennis, both prosecutors...
	So all of the prosecution is running through the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office, which is scary because those are the same people who have sort of gone after the president, but we know went after Roger Stone and Mike Flynn, very least.
	So all the prosecutions are running through there.
	Prosecutors and a judge legitimately said that because he said in his FBI interview after he was arrested that the election was stolen, that he therefore would not abide by any of the laws of The judge said, well, Ben, you must think that I'm part of this rigged system, so you won't abide by any of my orders, and now continue to hold him in jail without bond.
	Now, Dennis, he's one of at least two dozen people who have been charged with various crimes, mostly misdemeanor property charges, who are being held without bond.
	Some of them even transferred to Washington, D.C., away from their homes, awaiting trial, because the mere fact that they were at the Capitol, either inside or outside January 6th, makes them a threat to democracy, I've heard, and, of course, the country.
	It's very scary.
	I'm in the rare position of being speechless.
	I'm not being cute or rhetorical.
	Words elude me that this is happening in America.
	This is police state.
	That's police state tactics.
	There's no other way of speaking about it, especially when one realizes that today, murderers are allowed to leave prison.
	Charged murderers.
	Correct?
	That is correct.
	And of course, we know...
	All of the Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters who tore up our nation's capital for months, these very same prosecutors and judges not only refused to arrest them, but dropped almost all charges, as I write in my article with things for the Washington Post backing that up.
	Dennis, you know, we hesitated to use the word political prisoner because, you know, D.C. is worried about some guy in Russia and upsetting Vladimir Putin when we have far greater issues here.
	But I really encourage your listeners, and you as well, I link in my piece the January 12th press conference by the assistant director of the D.C. FBI office and acting attorney general.
	People need to watch what these men say.
	Good.
	Hold on with that.
	Don't forget that's what we're talking about.

	Here's the broader issue.
	If you saw John Kerry, if you saw Gina McCarthy last week, they are so cavalier in condescending about these jobs.
	Oh, they need to make better choices.
	Some jobs need to be sacrificed.
	Here's the big issue, Hugh, and it's a big political issue.
	Every time in the last decade that the National Democrats have had a choice between the men and women who build things in America, a lot of my constituents, energy, resource development, pipelines, and the choice between them and the far-left radical coastal environmental groups and interests, they always go with the radical groups.
	And I quote these union leaders, trade unions in particular, in my letter to President Biden.
	But here's the argument I've been making for six years with my colleagues, and I think it's more important than ever.
	These are men and women that we should embrace.
	I won election in 2014 by a little under three points.
	I had no union support.
	My re-elect just happened.
	I won by 13th support.
	And the vast number of the building trades in Alaska endorsed me.
	They will get behind Republicans who believe in strong jobs, working families.
	And I think that's a huge part of the future of our party.
	And the Democrats, just disregard them and talk to them in a condescending way.
	We should embrace these great men and women who build things in our country.
	and now's the time to do it. - Seemingly misrepresenting where she was and what she was doing during the Capitol tragedy.

	Hello, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here with Julie Kelly, columnist of American Greatness.
	Her piece is up at DennisPrager.com.
	The first time in my life that I am saying that America is devolving into a police state.
	I never exaggerate.
	One of the reasons I've been on for 35 years.
	I don't lie and I don't exaggerate.
	That's why I never said anything about the fire extinguisher.
	I didn't know it to be true.
	There are right-wing things that I don't know to be true, and I don't say them.
	So when I tell you that we're devolving into a police state, it's a literal, indisputable fact that a man who was on the lawn of the Capitol is in prison without the possibility of bail, while accused rapists and murderers and sex offenders are let out.
	This is a very sick society that the left is creating.
	Julie Kelly's article is about Coy Griffin, who is in prison.
	How long has he been in prison?
	I believe he was arrested or turned himself in around January 8th or 10th, so we're going on almost four weeks.
	And the argument of the judge, I want to talk about the judge in a moment, The argument is that there's a risk of flight, but they could just take away his passport, correct?
	Sure.
	Yes, they could.
	So it's a phony excuse to keep him in prison.
	That's right.
	Now, these are federal judges who are overturning local judges who...
	I had said, okay, well, this person could be on home detention or released on...
	By the way, even that, home detention on a misdemeanor?
	Yes, misdemeanor.
	A serious percentage of this country would be at home detention.
	Correct.
	I mean, you kind of have to laugh because it's so terrifying.
	Is there a movement to defend this man?
	I've gotten a question quite a bit.
	Donna, I don't know.
	I know that some of the reporting says that these defendants are having a really hard time finding and keeping counsel, which is something you kind of talked about on your show last Friday also.
	But what they're doing is using these misdemeanors.
	I think it's important for people to know to build sedition cases against Americans.
	This came out of the mouth of the acting attorney general of the United States, who, by the way, was not appointed by any president or confirmed by the Senate, I believe just the DOJ Lifer, bragging openly that they are targeting and building basically never used addition cases against Americans bragging openly that they are targeting and building basically never used addition cases against Americans And it's not an exaggeration.
	You are correct.
	Do you know anything about this Zia Faruqi?
	The judge?
	Zia Faruqi is the one who handed down, is handing down quite a few of these sentences and keeping people in jail throughout trial.
	This is a swamp at work.
	He was a member, he was a prosecutor in the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office for 12 years.
	He was appointed a magistrate, so he wasn't even appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
	He was appointed a magistrate by the D.C. Chief District Justice Beryl Howell, who's also overseeing a lot of these cases.
	So you have judges who left the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office, are now adjudicating these cases with their one-time, long-time colleagues in the U.S. Attorney's Office.
	So these defendants don't have a chance.
	They don't have a chance of any kind of fair trial, even if they get there.
	They're already being treated far differently.
	Since when are there trials for misdemeanors, let alone federal trials?
	No, I'm asking.
	I wasn't making a point.
	I'm truly asking.
	I mean, is this uncommon?
	I would have to think that it's uncommon for a trial for someone trespassing near the Capitol Ground One charge.
	I would think that that would be hard to prove.
	And who makes the decision?
	I assume there's no jury.
	I don't think so.
	I believe it's just this judge will oversee it.
	What's the maximum punishment for a misdemeanor?
	I would assume, I'm not an attorney, but I would assume a year at most for this kind of a charge.
	And they're almost all misdemeanor cases of people who have been charged so far.
	Meanwhile, Dennis, keep in mind, we still don't know the quote-unquote murderer of Officer Brian Sickness.
	They can't figure out who that is because that story's falling apart as well.
	But they can round up people who enter the Capitol and poke a few windows.
	Not to minimize that, they should be charged for those crimes, but not go into a tradition crime against the Americans.
	So six, seven months of...
	Staggering damage to humans and property, basically uncharged with anything.
	A guy is on the lawn of the Capitol and is imprisoned already for a month with no possibility of bail.
	I just want people to understand what the left does to everything it touches, including the judiciary and everything else that ruins it.
	So who are these other two dozen people?
	So, you will recall the man who was sitting behind Nancy Pelosi's desk.
	Now, obviously, he should not have been there.
	He has been charged by a grand jury with eight counts.
	Only one is a felony, which was carrying a deadly weapon onto Capitol grounds, which turned out to be a walking stick.
	That's also a stun gun that anyone can buy on Amazon.
	That's the only federal felony charge against him.
	He also is being held in jail without bond.
	This judge, Daryl Howell, who's the chief district judge in D.C., condemned him, scolded him, said he was a danger to democracy.
	He defiled the U.S. Constitution by daring to sit behind Nancy Pelosi's desk.
	Again, you will remember the Climate Act that was brought into Nancy Pelosi's office in 2018 by AOC, who occupied her office the entire day.
	They weren't charged with anything, but...
	I believe his name is Robert Sanford.
	No, I'm sorry.
	He's a fireman, Griffin.
	He, the man behind Pelosi's desk, is now sits in jail.
	Also awaiting trial.
	Okay, hold on there.

	All right, everybody, final segment here with Julie Kelly, columnist of American Greatness.
	On literal police state tactics being used in the United States, political prisoners for the first time in American history, of which I am aware, certainly in my lifetime.
	In other words, you're in prison for your opinions.
	Nobody's in prison for being on the Capitol lawn and trespassing, misdemeanor.
	That's the case of Coy Griffin.
	The issue that you don't have an answer to and I don't have an answer to is disturbing to me, and that is about his legal representation.
	Is there any way to find out about that?
	Dennis, I can do some checking and find out who his lawyer is now listed on his case document.
	So I can find out who that is, and we can start compiling that information for really...
	See, I wonder if a lot of lawyers are actually afraid to take his case because right now anybody who is associated with Donald Trump is cancelled.
	Their livelihoods often end.
	This is also unprecedented in American history.
	So I'll bet a lot of lawyers are afraid to take his case.
	I would think so.
	I would think a lot of these have been over 200 people charged so far.
	I would think most of them would have a hard time finding a lawyer to help them.
	I mean, these aren't wealthy people by any stretch to begin with.
	That's right.
	Yes.
	Well, as I always tell you when I say goodbye to you, keep up the good work.
	Dennis, thank you so much.

	So grateful to be on.
	Thank you.
	Good woman.
	I am just sort of dazzled.
	I'm just...
	Now, there's about a hundred million of us who understand what's happening.
	So how can it happen if a hundred million of us know that the left is destroying the country?
	It's an open question, because not everybody has the means that I have through my radio show and PragerU and my writing.
	I mean, I understand that.
	So it's...
	How does the average citizen...
	Fight this.
	I gotta tell you, one way is to fight it.
	You don't have a microphone with a national show, but you do have a Facebook page.
	And if you lose friends, they weren't your friends.
	Don't be harsh.
	Just be rational.
	This is Albert Moeller for townhall.com.
	The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order.
	That means policies.
	It means a covenant.
	In our case, it means a constitution.
	As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history.
	It's a remarkable document.
	All of that came to the fore, the inviolate events that interrupted.
	The joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College.
	At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient.
	But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place.
	It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty.
	A stress test brought on by the President of the United States.
	We will never give up.
	We will never concede.
	It doesn't happen.
	You don't concede when there's death involved.
	It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm, once again, our commitment to ordered liberty.
	It's the American way.

	I think the Lincoln Project is specifically a smear campaign to break down what we might call Trumpism, what I think could be better called MAGA, Make America Great Again.
	I know it's your show, so if you want to call it America First, I suppose that's okay, too.
	MAGA is fine.
	MAGA, I think, is probably most appropriate, though, which is this kind of not nationalistic, but nationistic idea that people should be able to have nations that are sovereign, not subject to supranational entities.
	It's not like rah, rah, rah, USA, USA, although if people want to feel that way about their country, more power to them.
	But that's not the point.
	Poland should be able to be Poland, France should be able to be France, the UK should be able to be the UK, and so on.
	And it's a broader philosophy in that regard.
	And that we should, in fact, pursue our own national interests as each individual nation, which is really what MAGA is that applied to the American context.
	And so these guys are smear artists who are attempting to destroy and discredit that.
	Because they are making money and their people are making money hand over fist from the same foreign wars and the same garbage that people turn to Trump to get away from.
	And I say that being I was horrified in 2016 by Trump.
	I was utterly against him.

	I always feel like the media is so secular that they don't know.
	They just kind of shy away from this.
	And Gary Carter was a phenomenal person.
	We admired him, but we didn't understand him because his ability to play baseball was great.
	But also at the same time, he was so happy.
	His joy was so real.
	And we all wanted that, but everybody thought he was, you know, they thought he was fake, but he wasn't fake.
	Gary Carter was a Christian from the age of 20. All the way into his whole entire career and his life being out of the big leagues.
	So he lived a completely different life.
	Yeah, he was very successful, Hall of Fame, but at the same time, he lived the life of the Lord and he was a prime example.
	Him and Mookie Wilson, two guys on our team that were a prime example of what a godly man looked like, what a man looks like without a uniform on.
	And I think that represents more than anything than having a uniform on and maybe struggling and going through some hard times.
	From a professional standpoint, but from a spiritual standpoint, they didn't have to go through that process in their life when they were playing.
	I wish I could have experienced that.
	I had to experience so many downfalls and pitfalls through my career.
	I was multi-talented.
	I could play.
	But I couldn't live.
	But today, you know, I look at God and I thank God for His grace, the grace that I didn't deserve.

	And in my weakness, his grace was what's sufficient for me, and it allowed me to be the man I am today in Christ.
	I don't know what he can do to your state, but he sure did devastate but he sure did devastate South Dakota.
	Here's the broader issue.
	If you saw John Kerry, if you saw Gina McCarthy last week, they are so cavalier in condescending about these jobs.
	Oh, they need to make better choices.
	Some jobs need to be sacrificed.
	Here's the big issue, Hugh, and it's a big political issue.
	Every time in the last decade that the National Democrats have had a choice between the men and women who build things in America, a lot of my constituents, energy, resource development, pipelines, and the choice between them and the far-left radical coastal environmental groups and interests, they always go with the radical groups.
	And I quote these union leaders, trade unions in particular, in my letter to President Biden.
	But here's the argument I've been making for six years with my colleagues, and I think it's more important than ever.
	These are men and women that we should embrace.
	I won election in 2014 by a little under three points.
	I had no union support.
	My re-elect just happened.
	I won by 13 support.
	And the vast number of the building trades in Alaska endorsed me.
	They will get behind Republicans who believe in strong jobs, working families.
	And I think that's a huge part of the future of our party.
	And the Democrats, just disregard them and talk to them in a condescending way.
	We should embrace these great men and women who build things in our country.
	and now's the time to do it.

	Thank you.
	Seemingly misrepresenting where she was and what she was doing during the Capitol tragedy.
	For what reason, I'm not exactly sure.
	I don't know.
	So deeply rattled.
	I'm still processing the end of my life when I come out.
	and I come out hi everybody I'm Dennis Prager.
	I'm going to go straight to my...
	See, I said great, because he's great.
	That was Freudian in the best sense.
	If there's a kindred spirit, and there are a number, but nobody's more kindredier to me than Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford.
	We're sort of twins, intellectual twins, ideological twins.
	Fox News just sent out a crew to California to interview two people, and it was Victor Davis Hanson and myself, on the two separate days.
	So we've been bonded for a while, and Victor Davis Hanson, welcome back to my show.
	Thanks for having me, Jimmy.
	So I read your piece on Animal Farm, and...
	The threat of the left to this nation is something we both perceive.
	I ended my last hour talking about that.
	I said, really, the great division in America is between those who understand the threat of the left and those who don't.
	Those who do and those who don't.
	Do you think that that's a fair representation of the division?
	Yeah, I do.
	I think it's important when you use the word left because a lot of people have a fuzzy image of the Democratic Party as maybe, I don't know, the early days of Bill Clinton's triangulation or Hubert Humphrey or those days.
	But this is not the same group of people.
	They've always been there throughout history, but they've now reemerged and they've taken control of the Democratic Party.
	And they're not liberal.
	They're not even progressive.
	As bad as progressives can be, these are hardcore, as you say, leftists.
	And they don't like what America stands for.
	They don't like its origins, its history, its customs, and traditions.
	And they feel that they've got a brief moment in history with the Congress and Joe Biden, non-accompositos, that they think, not necessarily our opinion, but what they think, and they're going to try to push through things I think we've never even imagined in the next 24 months.
	So, I get the question constantly from listeners who share our worries.
	I wasn't going to use concerns.
	It's too anemic an adjective or noun.
	They ask, what can they do?
	And again, I ended my last hour saying, I have a microphone.
	I have PragerU.
	I have writings.
	I'm blessed.
	But what is the person who doesn't have that?
	What is he or she supposed to do?
	Because we have to give direction to...
	Half this country agrees with you and me.
	Absolutely.
	I go back to that Aesop's fable sometimes in my mind.
	Remember about bellying a cat that the mice get together and say, this cat's devouring us?
	That's the left.
	But we need to know warning, have some warning about it.
	Somebody's got to go out and put a bell around his neck.
	So that's a great idea.
	We've got to bell him.
	Somebody says, well, who's going to bell the cat?
	Because the person who bells a cat is going to be eaten in the process.
	So I guess what I'm saying is that it would be very easy for me, and I have not the platform you do, but I'm tenured, to say we all have to speak out.
	And I think we do.
	But some people who are in junior positions, I don't...
	Expect them to be crusaders and be fired for the cause.
	But what I do think is that people like yourself and myself and others that are in their 60s or 50s or whatever their position is that have some protection, they have a greater responsibility.
	And if everybody just in our position says, you know what, I'm going to speak out and I'm going to speak out and I'm going to speak out, I think this thing will collapse.
	Sort of like that 1984 Apple commercial where the woman athlete comes in and throws that hammer into the screen, the Big Brother screen.
	I think there's no there there, but everybody's scared.
	And if we just say, you know what?
	You guys are the fascists.
	You are the ones canceling people out.
	You are the ones that don't believe in the First Amendment.
	You are the illiberal ones.
	And we keep at it, I think it will dissolve.
	But it won't if we keep silent.
	I get so many letters from assistant professors or part-time lecturers or high school teachers.
	What can I do when I don't want to say to them, go to the principal's office and say, you're not going to teach 16, 19 in your class and then be fired for the cause.
	But I do think that a senior person has a greater responsibility because they're more protected.
	Well, again, we're in just total agreement.
	That's why I tell people I understand that I'm protected, but that a lot of people are not.
	And I can't tell somebody get fired for the cause when I'm not fired for the cause.
	I'm with you.
	But a lot of people won't be fired.
	They may lose friends.
	So people have to decide, how much am I willing to speak out?
	No, you're absolutely right.
	Each person, according to their own station, has to make that decision.
	And for some, it's a neighbor.
	You remember the LA Times op-ed yesterday, I think it was, where the woman said, this guy very graciously snowplowed my driveway, but he's a Trump supporter, so I don't have to apologize.
	Well, that Trump supporter should go over to our house and say, that's the last time I'm ever going to snowplow your driveway after me.
	In gracious insult, you love it publicly, because it's not going to be very hard to find out who I am after you wrote that.
	And I think that's the kind of stuff that can be done and should be done, and we need to speak out against it.
	I know I've had members of my family who, out of the blue, after years, will just text me and say, you should be ashamed of yourself.
	You need to go on national TV and ask forgiveness.
	You know, I'm telling you, it's scary.
	I'm telling you, am I talking to myself?
	This is, to talk to you is a unique experience.
	I had that with a relative last year who has known me for 50 years.
	And out of nowhere writes, this is not the same Dennis Prager I knew.
	That I had all of a sudden, I've been a decent human being all of my life.
	He loves me.
	I mean, he admired me.
	But I supported Donald Trump.
	So I became a moral failure.
	I know, and they usually want some type of public expiation or confessional.
	And I have another friend.
	I'm on my farm.
	I've had a very close friend who's a farmer.
	You know, conservative Democrat, wonderful person, and he writes me and says, you know, you've lost all credibility in my eyes.
	And all I can say when they do that is I always say two things.
	It's happened four or five times.
	Close friends, but also relatives, very close siblings.
	And I always say the same thing.
	Have I ever, under all of the crazy things I think you've done and said, have I ever said that to you?
	Have I ever, you know...
	Did you get a response to that?
	No, I don't want one.
	No, I know.
	That's clear.
	I think that we have to do something.
	We have to show that Donald Trump, while he might have been unwise and reckless, he didn't really stir up the sedition.
	He's not directly responsible for it.
	We have to do that.
	And then we're supposed to say, but you know what?
	It's all right when Chuck Schumer calls out justices by name and says they're going to hit a wall, or Maxine Waters does this, or Nancy Pelosi says this, or Kamala Harris bails out convicted rioters.
	But we're just supposed I don't think we have to.
	I think we need to be symmetrical.
	And we create deterrence on our side.
	And I can tell you why I'm being brought up, I think, this week for the thought crime of criticizing Joe Biden before the Stanford University Faculty Senate.
	And it doesn't do any good to defend yourself unless you were willing to go and...
	We turn it in kind, because I don't think the left understands any...
	They interpret magnanimity or moderation as something to be...
	as a sign of weakness and not to be reciprocated in kind.
	They do.
	You are going up for Stanford?
	Well, I'm not doing it in person.
	I'm just saying that I... No, no, I don't understand.
	What are they charging you with?
	Well, they bring up in the Faculty Senate, they're trying to de-platform the Hoover Institution.
	When I say Stanford, I mean a large number of faculty.
	So they bring up to the Faculty Senate, we need to get Hoover off the campus.
	And then they say, why should we get him off?
	And they say, well, there is Shelby Steele, or there is Victor Hansen, or there's Scott Atlas.
	And then they go after us.
	And the people who go after us often are the most radical and intolerant people with a history of a lot of anti-Semitic activity, of things I won't go on to because I don't want to defame them because I'm talking casually, but they're asymmetrical.
	And then our director has to go there.
	All right, my friend.
	I know you've got to go.
	Victor Davis Hanson, a treasure.
	Victor Davis Hanson, a treasure.
	The Biden administration announced in their first week that the U.S. is rejoining the World Health Organization.
	But the WHO is a flawed group, one that has performed poorly while the world has struggled with COVID-19.
	Early on, the group was far too deferential to China, even parroting Beijing's early claim that the virus could not be transmitted between humans.
	Since then, an independent panel concluded that the WHO dithered in its response, waiting too long to declare an international emergency.
	All the while, the WHO has continued to block Taiwan's participation because of political objections from the Chinese government, despite the fact that the world has much to learn from Taiwan's exceptional response to the virus.
	Before rejoining the WHO, we should have demanded some accountability and reform from the group for the $400 million in taxpayer dollars we send to it each year.
	It looks like we'll keep on writing blank checks to the WHO, which they are more than happy to keep cashing.

	This is now a playbook.
	The secret history of the shadow campaign that saved The 2020 election.
	This is not something where they just are going to disassemble this.
	This is how they're going to do it from this point forward.
	So what are the big takeaways?
	Number one, the left is just now realizing how much power they really have over us.
	I think they're still learning how to use that power.
	Number two, the left is willing at almost all costs To sacrifice truth for power.
	Number three, persuasion means very little when the other side is actually concerned of how the election is going to be conducted.
	You know, we joked around throughout the first couple weeks after early November, after the election, we said it doesn't matter how people vote, it matters who counts the votes.
	Remember we joked about that?
	Well, they say here, In Podhorser's presentations, winning the vote was only the first step to winning the election.
	After that came winning the count.
	Winning the count.
	Can you believe it?
	Not just what people think, but actually how the votes are counted.
	Winning the certification, winning the electoral college, and winning the transition.
	This is now going to be how they will...
	Handle every single election from this point forward.
	You notice the figure 1.9 trillion just kinda rolls off the tongue.
	Now keep in mind, this is the administration that said they wanted to unify the country.
	There had to be healing.
	There's going to be bipartisanship.
	And you know it was all horse poop.
	And did the same thing that the Obama administration did.
	The Obama administration came in.
	Remember all their health care plans?
	And the Republicans of Ryan wanted to meet him halfway and had all sorts of ideas.
	And Obama says, dude, dude, dude.
	We won the election, you lost, so we ran on Obamacare, and we're going to do Obamacare, so just sit down and watch how we work.
	Same thing here.
	Not a single Republican buying in a $1.9 trillion.
	$1.9 trillion used to sound like a lot of money.
	But you know who said something about it being excessive and likely to ignite inflation like we've never seen?
	Thank you.
	planned here.
	Thank you.
	Both selling out, and I never fool you.
	It's not an advertising line.
	They do sell out.
	I mean, it's just a fact.
	One is the Israel trip, and I intend to take 500 of you there.
	And it is amazing.
	You bond with the people on your bus and anybody else you meet.
	If there's any time in your life you needed a kindred spirit convention, that's what my trip to Israel is, a kindred spirit convention.
	Terrific Americans from all over the country.
	There's a banner at DennisPrager.com, the Stand With Israel banner.
	And my annual cruise with listeners, obviously much more limited numbers.
	Is still scheduled, and for June?
	I'm sorry?
	End of June.
	Cool.
	So that's four months from now.
	Two from six is four.
	Four and a half months.
	England to Iceland.
	Doing it, because I very rarely duplicate trips, but the Iceland part was so fascinating to me, and Northern Ireland.
	Anyway, that's also at...
	DennisPrager.com Let's see here.
	Akel.
	I don't know if that's the correct pronunciation of your name in Los Angeles.
	Hello.
	Hi, how are you?
	I'm fine, thank you.
	I just wanted to comment about the gentleman that was arrested on the lawn for a misdemeanor.
	Did he state, unless I misunderstood, did he state that he's not going to follow any of the laws because he doesn't consider Biden to be a legitimate president?
	I never heard that.
	To the best of my knowledge, he was asked whether or not he recognizes that Joe Biden is president.
	He said no.
	And then the magistrate said, well, in that case, you must regard me.
	Well, I mean, you could be considered a threat, though, could you not?
	I mean, all laws are...
	You know, it could be...
	If the worst thing you have done in your life is trespass onto the lawn of the Capitol, it's hard to believe so.
	A judge might hear that...
	By the way, again, I never heard him say that.
	It is inconceivable to me, and I don't know this man from Adam, but it's inconceivable to me that if he were asked, you know, it's against the law to murder, do you consider that binding upon you?
	I think his answer would be yes.
	Okay, I'm sorry, I must have misheard your guess.
	No, no, it's totally illegitimate.
	That's why I took your call.
	I don't know why you are not allowed to believe that an election was illegitimate.
	Vast numbers of Democrats thought the election of Donald Trump was illegitimate.
	That's why they lied for three years about collusion with Russia.
	That's why there was a national investigation for two and a half years.
	What is it, $30 million or whatever they spent?
	So it's quite alright to believe that it was illegitimate when Donald Trump was elected, but if you believe it was illegitimate if Joe Biden was elected, then you are a threat to the country and you are charged with sedition.
	It's because the left controls the rhetoric and the left controls judgeships in so many of these places like Washington, D.C. It's corrupt.
	I don't care if you believe that Donald Trump was not elected legitimately, you are allowed to think that.
	The thought that I would have you prosecuted for thinking that, it wouldn't even occur to me.
	I think you're wrong.
	I think you are deluded.
	I think in the case of the media, you are downright evil for perpetrating a lie to the American public.
	But, hey, it is not illegal to do evil.
	Some evils are illegal, and some evils are not.
	Spreading lies is an evil that is apparently protected by free speech, which I think is correct.
	There's nothing you can do about it.
	What X thinks is a lie, Y thinks is true.
	The left has made sure that there is no objective truth any longer.
	There is only racial truth and gender truth and class truth.
	So that's the way your kids are taught when you send them at great risk to your relationship with them to college.
	Okay, Mike in Detroit.
	Hello.
	Hi, Dennis.
	I had always heard this mine for all summer long, no justice, no peace.
	And now I understand what it really meant was, no, just us, no peace.
	Cute.
	Okay, fine.
	No, that's the joke.
	They declare...
	The beauty of violence.
	They engage in violence.
	I mean, do you understand?
	It's been the education of my life this last year.
	Everything I knew but never experienced, I've now experienced the big lie being the truth for half of my fellow citizens.
	Day after day and city after city of violent...
	Riots of destruction of store after store, livelihood after livelihood, beating of people, burning of police cars, and nothing done in most cases, almost nothing.
	In most cases, nothing done.
	In some cases, almost nothing done.
	And then these guys take over the Capitol.
	By the way, did they assault anybody?
	It now turns out that...
	This officer was not killed by a blunt object.
	That's the autopsy report.
	Even CNN, while none of its broadcasters broadcast it after lying to us about a fire extinguisher being used to smash a man to death.
	Turns out the autopsy report doesn't even show any blunt force.
	He might have died of a heart attack, for all we know.
	Was anybody even injured?
	By the mob, and I will call it a mob, that entered the Capitol.
	Do you know?
	I'm serious.
	Was anybody?
	Was anything burned down?
	Compare that.
	I mean, I condemned it within an hour.
	Oh, by the way, that's another difference.
	All the Republicans who condemned January 6th versus the silence of the Democrats with their rioters.

	We've got to open up our schools.

	Lori Lightfoot, furious it seems, with the Chicago Teachers Union.
	So listen to Trey Gowdy's monologue last night on Fox News, recounting a story and tying it together with his wife, who apparently is an educator.
	And what's happening in cities like Chicago right now.
	I want you to keep this dichotomy in your mind.
	The image of a young boy walking to school for hours, getting in the car with a stranger because he understood the power of education to change his life.
	And now contrast that with the image of those dancing teachers in Chicago.
	That child knew the power of education and being in school.
	I wish the teachers in Chicago knew as much as he did.
	That's powerful.
	And he's right.
	He's right.
	800-655-MIKE. Let's get your reaction.
	Here's the Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot begging the Chicago teachers, please go back to work.
	And as the expression goes, the proof is in the pudding.
	CPS had three weeks of successful implementation of these mitigation plans in our schools.
	That was until the CTU blew up that success and created chaos that we are now enduring.
	And also remember, the CPS staff and principals have been in our schools throughout this pandemic, feeding our kids, getting them ready.
	For the return of students and continuing the hard work every single day.

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

	I think the Lincoln Project is specifically a smear campaign to break down what we might call Trumpism, what I think could be better called MAGA, Make America Great Again.
	I know it's your show, so if you want to call it America first, I suppose that's okay, too.
	MAGA is fine.
	MAGA, I think, is probably most appropriate, though, which is this kind of not nationalistic, but nationistic idea that people should be able to have nations that are sovereign, not subject to supranational entities.
	It's not like rah rah rah USA USA although if people want to feel that way about their country more power to Hi Hi.
	Hi, everybody.
	While I have your attention, I do want to say something.
	You all know how many stores have dropped MyPillow.
	And, look, I sleep on MyPillow.
	I have for years.
	You do, too?
	The living martyr does, too.
	You do, too?
	No, it's a phenomenon to me because I've always needed more than one pillow.
	I'm not with that.
	Their products are superb.
	We have their sheets as well, bedspreads.
	But right now, it's not only self-interest to order their product.
	It's a statement of support for freedom in this country.
	So I just wanted you to know that.
	Go to mypillow.com.
	Buy somebody you love, a new pillow, or use the promo code PRAGER. There's now a discount of $40 off the Premium Queen MyPillow.
	And use the promo code PRAGER in any event for a special discount, but it's worth...
	This is a good way of fighting the good fight.
	And it is a fight.
	I just learned, by the way, that the man I just spoke to Julie Kelly about has been released from prison shockingly, by the way.
	It's shocking.
	Politico.
	Judge releases New Mexico County official charged in Capitol riot.
	Coy Griffin.
	So she's overturned this guy.
	Who should be removed from office.
	To use the justice system for political ends and mistreat an American, whether you like him or not, this is the worst possible type of judge.
	What was his name?
	I want that name again.
	I think I need to keep talking about this judge.
	Okay, no, that's not it.
	Alright, I'm going to get it.
	You want to look that up?
	Anyway, he's been released, interestingly, by the judge who's been particularly harsh on the January 6th people.
	And what is her name again?
	Howell.
	Yeah.
	Beryl Howell.
	After a hearing held by video conference on Friday, Chief U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell overturned the decision to keep him in prison, with no possibility of bail even.
	Howell, this is from Politico, Howell has made clear her outrage over the January 6th riot, and she underscored that sentiment Friday, but she said Griffin's alleged actions did not place him among the most legally culpable for the riot.
	Yes, the guy was on the lawn.
	Yeah, Judge Zia Faruqi.
	F-A-R-U-Q-U-I. I wonder what we could do to try to remove this man from office for jeopardizing the American judicial process.
	The man is, in my opinion, a criminal.
	In contrast, I mean, this is another leftist, to her credit, who is overturning that decision.
	He was not armed and he left the Capitol grounds peacefully.
	He was not a participant.
	This is her speaking.
	He was not a participant in the violent break-in at the Capitol or the marauding mob roaming the halls of the legislative branch of government and the charge he now faces reflects that fact.
	Griffin faces a misdemeanor charge of entering a Secret Service restricted area.
	Wow.
	Howell acknowledged that Griffin's statements, including one declaring the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat, provoked justified anger.
	By the way, I didn't know he said that.
	Let me just say to all of you, and you know I think the Democrats are ruining this country, but that's a stupid statement.
	Okay?
	The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.
	Folks, you have to use your brain, not just your passion.
	Nobody loathes the left more than I do.
	But it's a stupid statement.
	You know what it is?
	It's cathartic.
	You want to say it to a friend over a beer?
	Say anything you want to a friend over a beer.
	But to say it publicly?
	You're going to convince your relatives who are on the left that you're a great guy with that one?
	These are all words that are deeply disturbing, especially when considered in conjunction with the defendant's decision to return with firearms to D.C., etc.
	Anyway, she said all these things, but nevertheless, she pointed out that because of COVID, by the time his trial takes place, he will have been in jail more time than if he were found guilty.
	So I just wanted you to know that he has been released.
	And I'd also like you to know that in my pocket is relief factor.
	After I work out sometimes, I strain a muscle or something, I take relief factor and I get relief.
	This thing is mind-boggling.
	And everyone, I can't say everyone I know, but everyone I know whom I've asked is taking relief factor because so many people have some muscular or joint pain.
	You'll know in three weeks if it works.

	Seemingly misrepresenting where she was and what she was doing during the Capitol tragedy.
	For what reason, I'm not exactly sure.
	I don't know, so deeply rattled.
	I'm still processing the ends of my life when I come out.
	And I come out.
	And this man is a Capitol Police officer.
	There was no partner.
	Was not yelling, you know, Capitol Police, etc., etc.
	But then it didn't feel right.
	Because he was looking at me with a tremendous amount of anger and hostility.
	So this was a Capitol Police officer that was trying to help her.
	And she immediately said that he was looking at me with a lot of anger and hostility.
	Let's go to cut 36, where the story gets even more complicated.
	Cut 36.
	I talked to G, my legislative director, after the fact, and he said, "No, I didn't know if he was there to help us or hurt us either." And G was actually like, this man came with so much hostility that That G was sizing him up and didn't know if he was going to have to fight him.
	So like, you know, like so many other communities in this country, like just that presence doesn't necessarily give you a clear signal if you're safe or not.
	I want to reinforce what she just said there.
	That's a Capitol Hill police officer.
	That was there to help you, AOC, and you had to size him up?

	No conservatives shouldn't quit on the GOP. There was a lot of party drama last night involving The freshman Congresswoman from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Liz Cheney, the Congresswoman from Wyoming.
	It appears the Republicans have stood by both of them.
	They're not stripping Marjorie Taylor Greene of being on any committees, and they're not stripping Liz Cheney of her leadership.

	I've been playing for you some of the ads...
	Here's one I want to play, and you will wonder, why am I playing this one from the Super Bowl, that I'm obviously referring to, and you probably won't guess why.
	And it has nothing to do with politics whatsoever.
	In fact, a lot of you may even disagree with me.
	But here is the ad.
	Shows a guy who's suffering.
	Being tortured.
	Please, if I could just go home and discuss things with my wife.
	I've been here all weekend.
	You can leave anytime you want.
	Never go to a dealership again.
	Well, that was painless.
	Go to vroom.com, buy a car, and we'll deliver it contact-free.
	Okay.
	So, I want you to know my take, and I wonder if...
	I'll bet 50% of you don't agree with me, which is fine, but I'm aware of that fact prior to saying what I'm about to say.
	I want to keep dealerships alive.
	I'm a big fan of local restaurants, local car dealers, local everything.
	I don't like the shift to everything, including cars, by internet.
	There are times when it's obviously the only way to get something.
	I don't know where I'm going to buy a book if I don't buy it on the internet.
	Okay, just an example.
	There are no bookstores anymore.
	In fact, I just got a car last week by sheer coincidence, and I got it at a dealership.
	I was very happy that I did, and I want people to be employed at these dealerships.
	I want them to exist.
	But there's another reason that I'm not happy about this shift, if there is indeed such a shift.
	There's a lot of what I consider...
	Not fully ethical conduct going on.
	A lot of people go to the dealership, take the time of the salespeople, test drive cars, and then go on the internet.
	If you don't go to a dealership and test drive a car, then you want to just go...
	As it were, blindly.
	You read about a car and you believe what you read, which is fine.
	I have no problem with that.
	And then you order it on the internet, fine.
	But you, it's unethical.
	I've written about this and talked about this all of my career.
	Because I got this from the Talmud.
	It's a Jewish law.
	You cannot ask the storekeeper the price of an item if you know you won't buy it.
	I've tried to live by that law all my life.
	You don't have to buy something at a store, but if you know you won't buy it at the store, you cannot take the storekeeper's time.
	So I've written about it.
	It's actually, you can see it on the internet.
	Dennis Prager's Storekeeper Law.
	Every business should put that article up in their store for people who come in.
	So, if you never...
	Went to the dealership, a dealership, took their time to figure out what color, what model, and so on, and you've done it all on the internet, no issue with you.
	But to use the store, people, time, and cars, and know you won't buy it there, that's unethical.
	What do you say to that?
	Problem is, I'm not sure I'll find out what you'll say to that, because all the lines are taken.
	That's a great question in Sarasota.
	This is Greg.
	I know your question, and I salute you for your intelligence.
	Go ahead.
	Okay, well, my question, Mr. Prager, thanks for taking my call, is...
	If leftists have destroyed all of the major institutions of America, as you frequently say, how can you still love America?
	That's a very fair question.
	That's right.
	Why would I love a bad America?
	And?
	No, that's it.
	Why would I'm asking?
	How could I love a bad America?
	What if America turns fascist or communist?
	Will I still love George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the Liberty Bell and Abraham Lincoln and the greatness of this country as a free country until the left ruined it?
	Yeah.
	But a police state is not lovable.
	So are you saying that you can love America then despite its flaws or something?
	Of course you could love America.
	No, no.
	I'm saying that you could reach a level of evil that makes it unlovable.
	I don't have unconditional love for humans, and I don't have unconditional love for my country.
	Okay, so you love America, and you think that the things that the leftists are doing are destroying it.
	No, I know it.
	I don't think it.
	There's evidence every day.
	If you don't know it, it's because you are fooling yourself.
	Okay, you believe it.
	I know it.
	No, I don't believe it.
	No, no, no.
	I believe Beethoven's Seventh is Beethoven's greatest symphony.
	I don't know that.
	But I know the left is ruining America.
	And I believe you believe you know that.
	However, my point is, but you still love America.
	Right now, yes.
	But as I said, if it becomes a police state, how can I love a police state?
	Okay, so my follow-up is then, why then is it not possible for leftists to love America as well?
	They don't!
	That's my point!
	But they do!
	No, they don't!
	No!
	Oh, please!
	You can't believe a place is systemically racist, hates blacks, hates women, hates gays, loves inequality, cheats all of its minorities, and say, oh, but I love it.
	Oh, you see, I'm so much more honest than what you're portraying.
	I said I will stop loving it if it reaches a level of evil that the left already thought it is.
	Don't fool yourself.
	You're living in delusion.
	The left hates this country and everything it stands for.
	Liberals love it, but they're weak.
	the dennis prager show trending now on the hugh hewitt show i don't i don't know what he can do to your state but he sure did devastate south dakota Here's the broader issue.
	If you saw John Kerry, if you saw Gina McCarthy last week, they are so cavalier in condescending about these jobs.
	Oh, they need to make better choices.
	Some jobs need to be sacrificed.
	Here's the big issue, Hugh, and it's a big political issue.
	Every time in the last decade, That the National Democrats have had a choice between the men and women who build things in America, a lot of my constituents, energy, resource development, pipelines, and the choice between them and the far left radical coastal environmental groups and interests, they always go with the radical groups.
	Now here to me is something that, and I quote these union leaders, trade unions in particular, in my letter to President Biden.
	But here's the argument I've been making for six years with my colleagues, and I think it's more important than ever.
	These are men and women that we should embrace.
	You know, I won election in 2014 by a little under three points.
	I had no union support.
	My re-elect just happened.
	I won by 13 support.
	And the vast number of the building trades in Alaska endorsed me.
	They will get behind.
	Republicans who believe in strong jobs, working families.
	And I think that's a huge part of the future of our party.
	And the Democrats, just disregard them and talk to them in a condescending way.
	We should embrace these great men and women who build things in our country.

	It's probably the same reason that the sun is shining too, and all the birds are whistling tunes.
	Sing it out, shout it out, and here's a song for you.
	If everything's the same, then everything's the same.
	Hi, everybody.
	By the way, it was a classic call.
	A rare moment here.
	The living martyr smiled.
	I mean, a broad smile.
	For that alone, it was worth it.
	Okay.
	That's good.
	It was good.
	Jacques in Benicia, California.
	Benicia.
	There we go.
	Yes, Dennis.
	Good to talk to you again.
	Thank you.
	I just wanted to follow up on Victor Davis Hanson's conversation with you.
	I've been a teacher for the past seven years, and what you can look for are small ways to, you know, put in a conservative viewpoint.
	Like you said, I didn't have tenure, but I look for small ways.
	So one example was in a seventh grade class I taught two years ago.
	Part of their history curricula, or their history curricula is medieval civilizations.
	They study medieval civilizations in West Africa.
	And it mentioned that they're taxed under several kings in West Africa in the 1300s and 1400s of slavery going on.
	So I posed the question by the class, knowing what answer I'd get.
	I'd say, who was doing the enslaving?
	And of course, a couple of kids said white people.
	And I said, no, white people wouldn't be...
	Trying to get slaves in Africa for another several hundred years.
	And then another example, last year a sixth grade class I taught, their history was learning about ancient civilizations, and when they got to Judaism, their curriculum mentioned, you know, the Ten Commandments, and I showed you a video, your introductory video from PragerU on the Ten Commandments.
	You can, but for little ways to get it in.
	You know what?
	Thank you.
	So, your call is triggering something in me.
	A lot of you are asking, what can you do?
	The biggest is speak out, but I agree with Victor Davis Hanson and have said so before.
	I can't ask you to jeopardize your livelihood.
	I don't have the right to because...
	My livelihood is not jeopardized.
	So, I can speak out and not worry about being fired.
	So, I understand that.
	By the way, you may not be fired, but if you're certain you are, I understand.
	But there are so many other things you can do.
	And I have to make a list, but here's a quick one.
	Remember my comment?
	Good people are divided among three groups.
	Fighters, those who help the fighters, and those who do nothing.
	You can't do nothing.
	One thing you all can do is help the fighters.
	And I'll give you two examples right now.
	Patronize the sponsors of Talk Radio, of this station that you're listening to.
	Talk Radio is the most powerful medium right now.
	All right, everybody.
