	Thank you.
	Hi, everybody.
	Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.
	Alright, now we're talking.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Do you know that the New York Times actually printed...
	We always make a joke out of it.
	Remember the old Rachel Maddow skit?
	Which was not meant to be a skit with...
	What was Letterman's first name?
	David Letterman, yeah.
	You have that?
	The reason they changed it from global warming to climate change, like they change illegal immigrants to undocumented immigrants, the left uses language to lie to you.
	So, since the vast majority of humanity is not experiencing Serious global warming.
	I'm not saying it's not happening.
	I'm saying it's not injurious to anywhere near to the extent that these crackpots of the environmentalist movement would lead us to believe.
	So why did they change it to climate change?
	I want you to think about this for a moment.
	If the globe is warming...
	To the point of existential threat, in other words, threat to the existence of, that's what existential means, then why wouldn't they want to use the term global warming?
	I'm going to let you think about that for a moment.
	What was wrong with the term global warming?
	Why did these fanatics, who want to change the world for the worse, why would they change it to climate change?
	So that they could lie to you phenomenally well, like the Times did today and yesterday, that this extreme cold in Texas is part of the issue.
	That's right.
	Fossil fuels not only heat up the atmosphere, they freeze up the atmosphere.
	And every Times reader believes it, just like they believed.
	That Officer Sicknick was killed by a fire extinguisher being bashed on his head.
	The belief in left-wing lies is the root of the problem in the United States, and it continues.
	That's why they shut down, as much as possible, other voices, especially those that call them out.
	Brett Stephens, a columnist for the New York Times, his own column.
	Disagreeing with the New York Times was not published.
	The publisher himself intervened to stop Bret Stephens' column from being published.
	Read about it.
	New York Post got a hold of it and published it.
	So this was the story.
	Yep!
	Do we have that headline?
	I need to read it to people here.
	Because it's quite remarkable to read that the freezing in Texas is a function of carbon dioxide emission.
	And as I said, people do believe it.
	Alright, I welcome you to the program.
	Wait until we have to rely.
	On windmills, on wind power and solar panels in all of our states because of the fanatics you're referring to?
	The headline I wanted?
	I'm not familiar.
	What headline did I want?
	Oh, for the New York Times?
	Yes, here it is.
	Okay, here it is.
	Very good.
	Come on, boy.
	Come on.
	Here, boy.
	A glimpse of America's future.
	Climate change means trouble for power grids.
	Systems are designed to handle spikes in demand, but the wild and unpredictable weather linked to global warming.
	There you go.
	Freezing weather is linked to global warming.
	Why is that not different from men menstruate?
	It's not.
	Warming means freezing.
	Warming means freezing.
	Men give birth.
	Two and two is not four.
	As I read yesterday, Oregon Department of Education, there is no one right answer in math.
	The amazing thing is, I bring this to your attention on a regular basis, almost daily, the gigantic lies, the Orwellian lies that we have to live with, and yet, because they control the media, It's only if you hear a program like this,
	this is where you realize the power of the media to control what is said in the country and, of course, in the world.
	Let's see here.
	Huge winter storms plunge large parts of the central and southern United States into an energy crisis this week, with frigid blasts of Arctic weather crippling electric grids and leaving millions of Americans without power amid dangerously cold temperature.
	By the way, do you realize what a scandal it is that the United States of America in 2021 doesn't have enough power?
	We don't have enough power here in California, and it's not exceptional.
	It's always been hot in the summer here.
	Yep.
	Well, they have, they rely to, to what extent does Texas rely on wind power and solar panels, both of which were frozen or covered by snow?
	I can't believe the millions of people in 2021 in Texas, an oil-rich state.
	But because of the great belief that you get away from oil, you don't realize if the United States all got rid of use of oil, how little impact it would have on the world.
	Bjorn Lomborg has pointed this out statistically.
	You realize how little effect on the world this has had, the lie about the hurricanes caused by global warming?
	We've had some of the most muted hurricane seasons on record.
	And if you assess damage by numbers of people dead and how much financial damage is done, it's no worse than it was 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago.
	Anyway, you know the proof that it's all to control and make money, because people invest heavily in these green companies.
	The proof is that they don't advocate nuclear power.
	Nuclear power is non-fossil fuel.
	That could, in fact, give us the power we need.
	But they don't advocate it, because it's a phony cause.
	That's why.
	I was just handed very sad news.
	Rush Limbaugh has passed away.
	And the man was a giant in the media.
	Even those who loathe him would have to acknowledge he was a giant in the media.
	I knew Rush every time I saw him.
	He gave me a wonderful Cuban cigar, even though I'm not a Cuban cigar fan.
	But he gave me the best.
	They were great.
	And he was unique.
	I think he was a genius in analysis.
	I do believe that.
	He saw what others didn't see.
	I can only say, with regard to his death, that his ability to broadcast to the last week, I guess, was a gift to him and a statement, of course, of his perseverance.
	It was a gift to him because it means that he didn't have a depressed, painful end, as so many people do.
	I hope he was accompanied by a loved one or more.
	That's a major voice that is gone.
	The notion that the man spread hate is only accepted and believed by the left, the people who believe the left.
	We were on at the same time, so I didn't hear him often.
	Some days when I was off, I would hear him, but I've heard him, of course.
	Hatred?
	He was a hater?
	His producer of all those years was a black man?
	He adored?
	But that's the way they label people.
	Well, he went out kicking, shall we say.
	Speaking, in his case.
	May his soul rest in peace.
	He has a legendary status in American life.
	I wouldn't have been surprised, given his energy, if he had passed away during a show.
	Okay.
	I'll be back.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Buerca.
	But who cares?
	33, 28, died in a hospital, died in a nursing home.
	They died.
	Who cares?
	They died.
	Remind you of anyone?
	Benghazi, Hillary.
	What difference does it make?
	It makes a difference.
	From the New York Post, headline, Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa admits they hid nursing home data so feds wouldn't find out.
	Let's ask somebody who's definitely got an opinion.
	Coming from hosting his own show on Fox News, not quite.
	It was only a 25-minute segment, but it was fabulous.
	From Congressional District No.
	1 in New York, great friend of the show, Congressman Lee Zeldin, welcome.
	It's good to be back with you, Seb.
	Congrats on that great hit.
	I have to ask you, I'm just going to be super cynical for a second.
	This is a guy who was given an Emmy as governor for his use of TV briefings in his handling of the coronavirus.
	Now we find out they hid the stats of the deaths from the Fed so they wouldn't get in trouble.
	Is Governor Cuomo ever going to face any consequences?
	An Emmy, and he wrote a...
	self-congratulatory book on leadership of his response and he started selling this ridiculous poster i don't know if you uh if you remember this story but if you haven't seen it it was absurd several months ago um praising himself and his and the response and that you what when he says who cares what you think about are uh
	the the lives impacted the families the people who lost their mom or dad grandmother or grandfather keep up with what's trending subscribe on youtube today
	liberal justice louis brandeis said that states are laboratories of democracy That we will be able to tell what states are succeeding and failing.
	Remember, what makes the American Republican system different, small r, not Republican Party, but a system based in a constitutional republic, is that the states created the federal government.
	The federal government did not create the states.
	That distinction is so incredibly important.
	We're a coalition of states.
	We're a coalition of sovereign entities that voluntarily agree to a national compact.
	That is why those of us that are conservatives don't like the heavy hand of the federal government.
	We say, why does the Department of Education exist?
	Why do you need a Department of Labor when you have a Georgia Department of Labor?
	The federal government should be there for federal crimes, military, when needed, a social safety net, but really that should be left to the states.
	Interstate commerce.
	Protecting federal parts and lands.
	Protecting our borders.
	Managing immigration.
	International diplomacy.
	And I'm sure there's a couple other things I can name that would probably be the proper role of government.
	But that's about it.
	Most things should be left to the states for good reason.
	The founding fathers knew this.
	The founding fathers knew that as soon as you strengthen a centralized federal government, As soon as you put unchecked power into DC, they're soon going to forget who they represent.
	You will live under bad laws inevitably if you lose a connection to the people who put you into office.

	Hello, my friends.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	And a major loss due to death today in the conservative world of the United States of America.
	Rush Limbaugh died today.
	Just got this news ten minutes ago.
	I was talking about it at the end of the last segment.
	Rush Limbaugh, to a large extent, invented talk radio as we know it.
	There was talk radio.
	I was actually on talk radio before he began, I think a year or two.
	But the way we understand it as advocative of conservative values, as an alternate to the left-wing media, This is largely attributable to him.
	And it was an incredibly great invention in America.
	I have said to guests that I've had on the show from Europe regularly that I think the biggest difference between their country and ours is that we have talk radio and they do not.
	And they all agreed.
	You can't just start stations to do what you want as you could in America.
	I think the left is going to try to suppress that with more and more rules.
	Americans have accepted, apparently, the idea that the government can control more of their life.
	This is the world's widespread idea.
	Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair advocated that there be Vaccination passports that you can't go around the EU if you don't have a vaccination passport.
	Had this been said even five years ago, people would have thought it's totalitarian.
	So, he died at the age of 70, which in today's days is not an old age.
	And he didn't die of old age.
	He died of cancer.
	Which he stoically endured to the end.
	You should read Charles Krauthammer's last, another giant of conservatism.
	Very different approach in speech and so on, but another giant.
	Two giants in about three years.
	How long ago did Charles Krauthammer die?
	About three years ago?
	He wrote his last column knowing he was dying, and he wrote, I'm sad I'm leaving, but I led a full life for which I am so grateful.
	I suspect that that's what Rush Limbaugh would have said if he wrote the last column, but he didn't write columns.
	Romy rarely did.
	So, may indeed he rest in peace.
	I thought that the Presidential Medal of Freedom was appropriate.
	It certainly isn't appropriate for any New York Times writer.
	If the world that Rush Limbaugh envisioned existed, we would have a lot more freedom.
	than if the world the New York Times envisioned existed.
	Everybody knows that that's true.
	Everyone listening knows it's true.
	There are some who will say it, and there are those who won't say it.
	But it is true.
	That's what people should ask.
	Did you know Limbaugh said?
	Did you know Rush said?
	Okay.
	So, let's imagine the New York Times editorial board gets America the way it wants, and Rush Limbaugh got America the way he wanted.
	In which America would people be freer?
	That, my friends, is what is known as a rhetorical question.
	Well, it's hard to believe, especially when somebody plays a role in people's lives, it's hard to believe...
	I was telling my wife the other day that I was, what was I, 12 years old?
	I was 12 years old.
	No, no, no.
	I was 63. No, no, I was 14 years old.
	15 years old.
	I was 15 years old when John Kennedy was assassinated.
	And I remember...
	There was a subway.
	I was in New York, Brooklyn.
	There was an L, an elevated subway stopped.
	That's the one near my house.
	It's about, let's see, half a mile away.
	And I remember on Sunday, he was murdered on Friday.
	And I remember Sunday, it was quite quiet.
	I was walking by the L, the elevated subway line, and the train came by.
	And I remember thinking, wow.
	The President of the United States is shot, killed, and the trains just keep going on.
	It was such a wake-up call about things go on, and yet there is a loss.
	It's true things go on, but things go on with a loss.
	Just about all of you have experienced with the loss of a loved one in your life.
	One of the great lessons is appreciate what you have and whom you have while you have it and while you have that person.
	That is a biggie.
	Alright, 1-8 Prager 776. I'd love to share with you here.
	Congressional Democrats plan to bail out China.
	Wall Street Journal.
	IMF special drawing rights with no strings are the wrong way to help developing countries.
	A blank check would surrender accountability for how the money is used, inviting waste and corruption.
	This is talking here.
	About special drawing rights.
	It's an amazing thing.
	Congressional Democrats have pushed repeatedly for time-sensitive must-pass legislation to require the International Monetary Fund to issue at least 2 trillion special drawing rights, or SDRs, to its 190 member countries, which governments or SDRs, to its 190 member countries, which governments could then exchange for nearly $3 trillion in hard currency to defend against the pandemic.
	See, I know reading this to you, a lot of your ears glaze over, and I don't blame you.
	Thank you.
	There's a problem here, and that is some of the most damaging things happening are not exciting and not widely reported.
	President Trump made us aware of China's threat.
	President Biden doesn't.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berger.
	So we have an admission of capability.
	We have 14,000 dead in the homes.
	Where do New Yorkers go next, who lost their husband and wife?
	What's the next step, Congressman?
	I would say a few things.
	One is, you have law enforcement, you have prosecutors at other levels of government that can take action, that's the first thing.
	Secondly, the New York Republican congressional delegations and...
	Our numbers are increasing.
	Claudia Tenney was finally certified the winner of her race and was sworn in this past week.
	Eight of us today sent a letter to the Department of Justice with regards to the substruction of justice case that's emerging, calling on the Department of Justice to investigate this charge.
	Now, you have a confirmation hearing that's coming up.
	Merrick Garland, the Nominee to be the next Attorney General.
	Inside of that confirmation hearing is a great opportunity for Senators to maybe ask about this letter.
	Put aside my letter that was sent with my colleagues today just asking about the underlying issue.
	And you can't allow with all these different confirmation hearings The person who's answering your question to just not give you any answer on any of this, we need to get assurances that something like this is going to be pursued.
	Don't do it for me.
	Don't do it for a member of Congress.
	Congress, you're doing it for those thousands of families.

	Trending now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	One of the things I wanted to go through is how the Democrats tampered with evidence.
	Yes.
	And I was going through it with our team.
	I said, you do know that Eric Swalwell, who's a lover of Fang Fang, the Chinese Communist Party spy, he tampered with evidence.
	And David Shone, to his great credit, came out and proved that point.
	Eric Swalwell, and this is why this is not a trial.
	This is a Hollywood Broadway production.
	That's all this is.
	In a real trial, you'd say, Your Honor, this evidence is tampered with.
	So you had Swalwell, the lover of Fang Fang, who came out and said that Donald Trump called for the Calvary to come.
	Calvary.
	Now, anyone in the Christian world, knows that there's a difference between Calvary and Calvary.
	I sometimes, unintentionally, mispronounce one or the other, but I know the difference.
	Calvary, C-A-L, cavalry.
	One is where Christ was crucified.
	The other is horse-mounted military.
	So Eric Swalwell reads Jennifer Lawrence's tweet, who says, Mr. President, the cavalry is coming.
	So Eric Swalwell then comes out and says, well, on the House impeachment floor, you see here, President Trump, he was calling in for reinforcements, and the cavalry is coming.
	Now, to an untrained eye, you're like, well, that might be something, you know, maybe there might be...
	It's nothing.

	Trending now on the Mic.
	Trending now on the Mic.
	All right, everybody.
	I'd like you to hear some gems from the current situation in America.
	We'll begin with the last one.
	Representative Sarah Jacobs.
	Where is she from?
	Do you know?
	I'll find out.
	She calls for a truth commission because America needs a common narrative.
	California.
	From California.
	Okay.
	Let's hear, this is CNN. What exactly would a truth commission be?
	Part of what we're seeing now is because we haven't really done the reckoning with the racial injustice and white supremacy of our past that we need to do.
	And so, you know, a truth commission, a lot of people will think of South Africa.
	We've used them in countries around the world.
	And basically what it is, is it's...
	Communities, all the way up to the national level, having conversations about both the glory and the glory of our history and what happened, both throughout the history of our country and leading up to and on January 6th, so that we can come to a common narrative moving forward of what we want our country to be.
	Do you think the House and Senate leadership have the stomach for that?
	I think so.
	Look, we all were victims of this attack in addition to being the lawmakers of this country.
	And I know for a lot of us this is very personal.
	We've had threats to our lives, threats to our homes and our families.
	And so I think that there are a lot of us who know that this impeachment trial was just the start of holding Donald Trump accountable, but that we need to make sure that we're doing accountability of anyone who incited, encouraged, or committed acts of violence.
	And then really looking forward at...
	The kinds of things like truth commissions, like democracy, like institution building, that we know are going to be the real fixes to what we've seen in this country.
	Congressman, thank you so much for joining me.
	So that's like Pravda, having an interview with a Soviet official.
	There's no difference, just in English, not Russian.
	As I've told you so many times, I studied communist affairs.
	Graduate school, through graduate school, learned Russian to read Pravda, the Soviet communist newspaper.
	And it never occurred to me that I would apply all of my learning to the United States.
	But the left is the left.
	There is a part of human nature that wishes to control others and has contempt for liberty.
	And that part is...
	Manifested in the left everywhere with no exception.
	It's not in liberals.
	Liberals are just weak and naive.
	But they believe in liberty.
	A truth commission.
	Just the term.
	There was a truth commission for two and a half years with regards to collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, right?
	It was not a truth commission.
	We had a special prosecutor to find the truth.
	So he was looking for the truth in a lie.
	A truth commission.
	It'll tell you as much truth whenever you hear common narrative or unity, run.
	Today, incidentally, I was asked by a sweet Jewish liberal in Los Angeles.
	Would I dialogue with a group of prominent Los Angeles Jews, I live in L.A., who are on the left, on Zoom, just to try to find some common ground or at least have a dialogue?
	So, of course, I jumped at the opportunity.
	And didn't I mention, I mentioned what I sent them?
	Yes, I think I did.
	I'm sure I did, but I'll say it again.
	So, one of the participants, a rabbi on the left, a woman, actually, I know.
	So, she said, before we get together, I'd just like to send a poem by an Israeli poet, a very famous Israeli poet, Yehuda Amichai.
	And it was a sweet poem.
	I don't remember the theme, but anyway.
	So I decided I would send back for the group to have something also before we get together on Zoom today.
	And I wrote something to the effect, I too would like to send something, a song written by another Jew, Irving Berlin, in the days when American Jews sang songs to America.
	I said, God bless America.
	I'll let you know tomorrow how it went.
	I called up Nerve Renew, which I very rarely do.
	And I suspected that they wouldn't either have the budget or the inclination or whatever.
	But they knew me.
	And I called them up and said, you know, you've...
	It's been a very effective product for me with my tingling in my feet, which I've had for much of my adult life.
	I threw away my inserts thanks to Nerve Renew after about a year.
	I'd like you to try it if you have this tingling type stuff in your feet, your hands.
	They have a one year money back guarantee.
	NerveRenew.com What's with these Republicans?
	I would just give a dollar and a donut to figure out what's in the mind of somebody like Senator Bill Cassidy.
	Here's cut five.
	This is the same guy who was last week, just the other day, on with Meet the Press and Chuck Todd.
	The president wasn't there.
	He wasn't allowed counsel.
	They didn't amass evidence.
	In five hours, they kind of judged, and boom, he's impeached.
	Now, I'm told that under the Watergate, under the Clinton impeachments, there were truckloads of information.
	Here, it was a video.
	There was no process.
	I mean, it's almost like, you know, if it happened in the Soviet Union, you would have called it a show trial.
	That's the guy, that was last week.
	That's the guy who yesterday voted with the Democrats.
	To proceed with the trial because he didn't like Bruce Castor.
	And listen, Bruce Castor did a terrible job.
	President Trump was said to be very angry behind the scenes.
	Fox News quotes sources as saying Trump was furious and beyond angry over his defense team's showing on day one of his second impeachment trial, despite his ultimate acquittal almost certain.
	The sources who spent time with President Trump said he was particularly incensed with the effort thus far by his attorney, Bruce Castor.
	Do you get the feeling that the reason he hasn't had a strong showing by his lawyers is because no attorney wants to touch this thing?

	Mike, what is the number one reason you think people in the state want him recalled?
	Is it his handling of the COVID-19 crisis?
	Is it the way he's been ordering things like oil and gas leases and pushing a left-wing agenda?
	That can't be it because this is a left-wing state, so people must be ticked off about his handling of the COVID-19.
	And Mike, if that's the case, then what happens when the vaccines kick in and what happens when Governor Newsom begins to back down as he's already begun to back down?
	California has five million Republicans, nine million Democrats.
	But our biggest problem we have out here is there's six and a half million NPs.
	Thank you.
	Hello.
	Hi, everybody.
	Hello.
	Bye.
	Bye.
	Hey, I want to remind you, two major trips coming up to Israel with you in October.
	Israel should be open then, so you can plan on that.
	And a cruise with you in June.
	So let's see, that's a little more than four months from the end of June.
	That, I pray, will take place.
	Every year I've had a cruise with listeners.
	For about 25 years.
	They're extraordinary moments.
	So was the Israel trip.
	There's information on both at my website.
	Stand with Israel trip.
	Hundreds of you from around the country.
	Obviously the cruise is much more limited in numbers.
	And it is planned from London to Iceland.
	That is also a...
	Banner at my website.
	Look forward to seeing you on either or even both, for that matter.
	So, this Rene Jacobs, Sarah Jacobs, wants Rene Jacobs as a conductor.
	Just want you to know why I confused the name.
	Rene Jacobs is a French male conductor.
	One E in the Rene.
	Two E's is female.
	One E is male.
	generally speaking, at least in the old days when people did in fact infer the sex of the person from the name.
	Yesterday, my dear friend who sort of, if they were a producer, the producer of my commentary series on the the producer of my commentary series on the Bible, the Rational Bibles, Joel Alperson, - Sure.
	And he emailed me that we have, or I have surpassed 3,000 reviews for my two volumes, Genesis and Exodus.
	It's a lot of reviews.
	Something like 95% five stars.
	So I read many because they touch me, the way in which what I wrote has touched people's lives for the better.
	Then a guy writes in, of course there's always a negative, so I came across the negative.
	And he writes, Dennis Prager is a cultural warrior.
	And to give you an example, he writes about pronouns.
	He takes his battle on pronouns and God.
	They're sick.
	A lot of people on the left are sick.
	Not liberals left always make the distinction.
	They literally can't even read a Bible commentary, but knowing I am the author of it, they must find politics.
	I wrote an essay, a very important essay, in the beginning of Genesis.
	Why is God depicted as male?
	Wouldn't you think anybody, even a leftist, Would find that an interesting subject?
	Wouldn't you think even a leftist would want to discuss that?
	They might say it's because of patriarchy or sexism.
	But everybody would want to read an essay.
	I have a lot of essays in the commentary.
	On that subject, why is God depicted as a he?
	Why not interchangeably with she?
	Why not it?
	But...
	This reviewer found this.
	So, this is not a commentary.
	This is Prager's culture war.
	Now, as you probably know, I am as little affected by antagonism as a human can be.
	But I find it instructive.
	That's why I read this stuff.
	Anyway, for those of you who wrote, I just submitted Deuteronomy.
	It's the fifth volume, but it's the third of my series.
	200 laws.
	It turned out to be the toughest of the books.
	Genesis is largely stories.
	Exodus is story and law.

	When I would say, 20 years ago, every leftist is a totalitarian, it either bounced off people's ears, or it sounded hyperbolic.
	There is no such thing as a non-totalitarian leftist.
	There are non-totalitarian liberals.

	The 1918 virus iterated 12 times over the summer of 1918 and emerged deadlier.
	Do we know about these variants in any sort of way that alarms you, Andy, beyond the ordinary alarm that would arrive with any virus?
	My job is probably to be in a state of alarm and playing through bad scenarios and trying to plan for those scenarios.
	Even hoping many of them don't come to fruition.
	I think these variants are not good news.
	I think these variants suggest that there is enough multiplication of this virus out here that the virus is going to go through this evolutionary path more quickly than we had hoped to try to resist where it can.
	Now, the good news is that the major variant, the one coming out of England, UK, the one they call B.1.1.7, the vaccine, And human immunity seems to hold up very well against that.
	There are other mutations where there's been more than one mutation to the spike protein.
	This happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there is some evidence that pre-existing immunity doesn't work and doesn't hold.
	So these are signs that we are going to be, like with the flu, facing Something that will continue to change on us.
	Most of these changes are completely harmless and completely irrelevant.
	Most of these changes, and this virus has been evolving this whole time in front of our eyes, have had no real impact.

	One of the things I wanted to go through is how the Democrats tampered with evidence.
	And I was going through it with our team.
	I said, you do know that Eric Swalwell, who's a lover of Fang Fang, the Chinese Communist Party spy, he tampered with evidence.
	And David Shone, to his great credit, came out and proved that point.
	Eric Swalwell, and this is why this is not a trial.
	This is a Hollywood Broadway production.
	That's all this is.

	Thank you.
	Almost every Wednesday.
	Every Wednesday except when presidents are impeached.
	Or former presidents are impeached.
	Impeachment has become so common in the last few years because it's been cheapened as the left.
	My last political comment of the hour, as the left poisons everything it touches.
	The male-female hour is honest talk about men and women.
	I am not a man fan, and I am not a woman fan.
	I am a good person fan.
	And they're pretty evenly distributed between the two sexes.
	I also believe there are only two sexes.
	Of course, there are A tiny, tiny, minuscule fraction of a percentage of people who do not identify as male or female.
	That has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with whether or not there are more than two sexes.
	There aren't.
	That I even have to say this should scare the living daylights out of you.
	All right!
	So today's topic has two segments.
	It is about a question of your husband having a close female friend or your wife having a close male friend, obviously, aside from you.
	Is that okay?
	Does it bother you?
	Should it bother you?
	So I will tell you my thoughts.
	I will offer my thoughts.
	Not all of you will agree, which is completely understandable.
	Every generalization has exceptions.
	So I acknowledge that.
	But as a rule, I don't think it is a healthy thing for a married man to have a close female friend.
	Other than his wife, and for a married woman to have a close male friend other than her husband.
	Now, in our naive time, one might think, especially if one went to graduate school, what's wrong with it?
	People want to relate to humans in their life.
	What's the difference if the human is a male or female?
	But as I said, you need to go to graduate school to ask that question.
	Of course it matters.
	If my wife said to me, and I am as unjealous a husband as it probably exists, and as uncontrolling, As one exists.
	But I would not like...
	You know what?
	I'm having dinner with Jeff.
	Or if I said to my wife, I'm having dinner with Sarah.
	What would be...
	Now, there may...
	There are extenuating circumstances in certain cases.
	But...
	First of all, why wouldn't the two of you go to that dinner?
	I don't have a problem with my wife.
	There is a man she talks to, for whatever reason, predating perhaps our marriage, and the three of us will have dinner.
	Okay.
	Or same with me and a woman.
	Now, obviously, there are business reasons to have a lunch with somebody of the opposite sex.
	Everybody understands.
	It's a non-issue.
	But to have a dinner with somebody of the opposite sex alone to just, you know, talk life and to talk to open up to, that's the purpose of your spouse.
	I said it was a two-pronged subject, because it raises the issue, which I don't think I've ever, believe it or not, because it's a big issue for many people, raised the issue of jealousy in marriage.
	So I'm an anti-jealousy fan, and it's not my nature, but it's also not good if there's no possibility of jealousy.
	That's not a good sign either.
	Like most things, the amount and the context are determinative.
	You don't care if your wife has this intimate, non-sexual, intimate relationship with another man.
	You don't care?
	Then how much do you care for her?
	There is a level of uniqueness that we do want and have a right to expect from our spouse.
	If you open up about your feelings to a person of the opposite sex, I should be that person.
	And if you open up, I should be that person.
	If I open up, you should be that person.
	That's why I'm a big fan and advocate of same-sex friends.
	I think it's great when my wife is with a female friend.
	In fact, in my columns that are up there now, I don't know, at least 10 years, they got widespread attention.
	I think it's eight questions you should ask before getting married.
	I got a lot of feedback that people broke up as a result of reading the questions, because they realized this person was not for them, so it really did them a service.
	It's always, as I always say, better to be divorced before marriage than after marriage.
	Better to get divorced.
	One of the questions is, is the person you're considering marrying, Any close friends of the same sex?
	It's a yellow flag, not a red flag, but it's a yellow flag if the answer is no.
	It's worth looking into.
	That's what I argue.
	So I don't think you should be the only person that a person talks to.
	Or loves, or anything like that.
	But find those people in members of the same sex.
	I guess for a gay couple, I guess the opposite would hold true.
	Where it's fine if they have a close female friend.
	In any event, that's the issue here.
	I have never personally encountered it.
	I've been married before, so I'm mentioning that.
	But I just find it hard to imagine having an ongoing relationship with a female, non-sexual, where I just opened up on a regular basis about feelings and so on.
	The purpose of marriage is that this is the person Who is your friend of the opposite sex?
	That's its raison d'être, among others.
	Alright, 1-8 Prager-776-877-243-7776.
	Do you have a situation like this, or did you?
	Where you or your Spouse, have a very close friend of the opposite sex.
	That's the subject, plus the subject of inappropriate jealousy and appropriate jealousy.
	That is raised by this subject.

	That we will be able to tell what states are succeeding and failing.
	Remember, what makes the American Republican system different, small r, not Republican Party, but a system based in a constitutional republic.
	It's that the states created the federal government.
	The federal government did not create the states.
	That distinction is so incredibly important.

	The subject is your husband having a close friendship with another woman, non-sexual, or your wife with another man, and I'm not a fan of these things.
	So, and I don't...
	I'm a big believer in freedom for spouses, but there are certain things that are just not wise.
	That would strike me as one of them.
	But let's go to see how it exists in your life.
	All right.
	Adam in Lansing, Michigan.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Sorry?
	Can you hear me?
	Yes.
	Yes, I have a quick question for you.
	As a young adult, I've been ruminating about this for a while, and I'm a single man now, but I have a few close female friends whom I've never had romantic involvement with, but I perceive myself getting married to someone in the future.
	So my question to you is your advice for other young adults.
	Would you also recommend them to kind of stay away from It's a great question.
	I have a number of responses.
	First, do you have close male friends?
	I do.
	Okay.
	So, you have close friends of both sexes.
	Is that simply fair to say?
	See, I admit that I never did.
	I had close male friends.
	And if I broke up, or we broke up, then pretty much contact would end.
	So these are not ex-girlfriends.
	These are just females in your life, correct?
	Correct.
	Yeah.
	So my answer would be with regard to the future, and I'm glad you want to get married, is when you get married, they become, if they stay in your life, They become a friend of the couple.
	That's the healthier way in which to do it.
	I don't see any problem in a couple having a single friend.
	I see it as an issue if a man has a single female friend and the wife has a single male friend.
	So that's the way it would transform itself.
	In addition, I suspect that when these women that you're friends with get married, the same will apply for them.
	Their attention, vis-a-vis a man, will be toward their husband.
	So, it's as much a challenge to them as it is to you.
	But I'm not telling you to end your friendship now.
	But it will arise if you have a close girlfriend, even not getting married.
	And you say, you know, I'm having dinner with this woman on Thursday and this woman on Friday.
	Your girlfriend might wonder why you're not having dinner with her.
	Make sense?
	Yes, I understand it as integrate my female friends within the existing relationship.
	That's right.
	That's what I would advocate.
	Yep.
	But over time, for most people, because both tend to get married to other people, obviously, almost by definition, there will be a certain lessening of the intensity of the friendship, which is fine.
	That's just the way it works.
	Lisa in Dana Point, California.
	Hello, Lisa.
	Yes, thank you very much for taking my call.
	I am a very close friend.
	It's actually part of a couple, and I was friends with her first.
	And then gradually, for whatever reason, he and I talk more often.
	But we talk all the time, hours and hours and hours on end.
	And yes, and now I'm married, and so we're two couples that are friends, basically.
	We're two married couples.
	My now husband is friends with my friend across the country.
	And we talk for hours on the phone, and this is actually, I would consider, one of my closest friends.
	But I would not have dinner with him, just the two of us, because I think you're right, I think there's some lines that you just don't cross.
	But my gosh, he's honestly one of my best friends, and we talk for long periods of time.
	But yes, as couples, we're four of us friends.
	Yeah, so you've done it perfectly, in my opinion.
	Your husband has no issue with it, right?
	None.
	He lives across the country.
	I have zero interest in him.
	Right.
	Does your husband like him?
	Yes.
	Great.
	Yes, we're all friends.
	It's just that, you know, my friend and I, we talk about interior design, we talk about food, we talk about all these things that, for whatever reason, we just collect the two of us, but the four of us are good, good friends.
	Well, all right.
	I think it's just great.
	I do.
	I'm happy for you.
	May I say, That you certainly, not only did you hit pay dirt with your solution, but even the content reinforces for me the validity of your friendship.
	Because if my wife wanted to talk about interior design and food, I am not the perfect husband.
	I think about interior design and food.
	Well, I think about food more often, but only when I'm hungry.
	I don't have particular interest in either.
	So, you know, that is an interesting question.
	So, you're really interested in something.
	A woman really wants to talk about interior design and food.
	Her husband has no interest in it.
	What does she do?
	Well, ideally you'd find a girlfriend to talk about it with.
	What about you, Living Marty?
	You would talk about food from a nutrition point.
	So would I. That interests me.
	Nutrition does interest me a lot.
	What about interior design?
	Does your wife want to talk to you about interior design?
	He's thinking, ladies and gentlemen.
	I mean, if something has to be done in the house.
	If something has to be done in the house, well, yeah.

	Let me explain.
	We need 12% of the people that voted for governor last time, which is technically 1,475,000 signatures.
	We're actually at that figure, but before the public gets too cocky.
	Because they have to be verified signatures of reality, and we need 1.8 to 2 million of them.

	Bigger than that and has a massive national minimum wage increase that would hammer the job market at a time when we should be doing everything to support it.
	It is almost as if, and I hesitate to say it because it doesn't sound sane, but it's almost as if they are trying to destroy the economy.
	It's so bizarre.
	Would you give them enough credit to say that they're not trying to bring some kind of socialism or big government dependence To us via these strange means?
	Because that's kind of what it looks like to me.
	Yeah, that is what they're trying to do.
	I mean, it's based on a misbegotten but sincere view of what the country should be in their minds and how the economy works.
	But if you get closer to where you are in the world than where I am at the moment, you know, a place like Alabama, the median wage is $15 an hour.
	That means, I'm not a statistics guy, but half of people make less than that.
	So what's going to happen to their jobs when you mandate that they all have to make $15 an hour?
	Well, they're either no longer going to have jobs, or their hours are going to be cut, or the employers are going to find a way to automate.
	So this just makes zero sense.
	I'm all in favor of a tight labor market.

	This is the Male-Female Hour, every Wednesday, the second hour of the show.
	The topic is the propriety or impropriety of a man, talking about a couple, even close boyfriend and girlfriend, not even just married couples, where the man has a close female friend who he talks to and meets with, non-sexual.
	And, or likewise, the woman with a close male friend.
	I think it's a bad idea.
	There are always exceptions, but not many.
	So, let's go to Cody in South Carolina.
	Hello, Cody.
	Hey, how's it going?
	Alright, thank you.
	I was wanting to say that I agree 100% with everything you've stated.
	My ex-wife used to have a male friend that she always ruled was gay, and I didn't have nothing to worry about.
	Well, it turns out that he was not gay, and now they're engaged to be married.
	So, like I said, I agree 100% with everything you said.
	Actually, given your experience, you agree 200%.
	Oh, yeah.
	200%, that's right.
	Did you ever meet him?
	No, she would always...
	They worked together is how they met.
	And she would go out with her girlfriends and he would be there and stuff like that.
	But like she would always say, he's gay.
	You ain't got to worry.
	So, you know, you're supposed to trust your spouse.
	I trust her on the word.
	So I never met him or anything along those lines.
	And here we are today.
	So she...
	I hate to use the term, but she was lying to you when she said he was gay?
	Oh yeah, 100%.
	Well, I am sorry to hear the story, but it is really, it does in fact reinforce my position, I must say.
	Honey, no issue, he's gay.
	And to which you might say, how do you know?
	How do I know that you're telling me the truth, even if not consciously lying?
	Yeah, that was a good one, I have to say.
	Okay, and Glenn in Naperville, Illinois.
	Hello.
	Mr. Prager, I am about two minutes away from the cigar lounge called the Humidor.
	I've had a couple of cigars out here.
	That is nice.
	I will be having one after the show.
	Thank you.
	So the witness test that I would consider as kind of a marker to determine if you are in a friendship that is emotionally an issue, because we can have different kinds of relationships that are male or female.
	The litmus test, and this is, you know, my personal perspective is to think of it as if this person was my sister or my brother, if the female is the one asking the question, of course, would an intimate or romantic relationship be weird?
	Or disgusting, or give you any kind of, you know, icky feelings.
	And if that is not the case, then there's some kind of impurity, I suppose, that needs to be considered.
	You know, if a marriage is healthy, I believe, you know, a male is being respected well, and he is the servant and lover of his wife's soul, and endeavors to guard her and love her in every regard.
	These kinds of issues, I think in many ways, resolve themselves as far as the insecurity about a friendship between males and females.
	Okay, alright, gotta let you go.
	I appreciate it.
	And it was a statement, I think, in large part in agreeing with me.
	It's interesting, I'm trying to find if there is somebody who...
	It has something like that.
	Well, here is Bob.
	I'd like to know how he reacted to the South Carolina call.
	Bob in Minneapolis, hello.
	And it's your gift.
	Thank you.
	My wife has a male friend who happens to be gay, and I find it terrific and respectful.
	Who takes the pressure off me?
	Yeah, no, that's clear.
	Why does she...
	How did she meet him?
	Does her friendship with him predate your marriage?
	No.
	We've been married for 31 years, and they've been friends in the last five.
	All right.
	I have a few questions, and I want to know how you reacted to the man whose wife told them that the guy was gay, and now they're married, and now they're engaged to be married.

	ReliefFactor.com 800-500-8384 One of the things I wanted to go through is how the Democrats tampered with evidence.
	And I was going through it with our team.
	I said, you do know that Eric Swalwell, who's a lover of Fang Fang, the Chinese Communist Party spy, he tampered with evidence.
	And David Shone, to his great credit, came out and proved that point, that Eric Swalwell, and this is why this is not a trial.
	This is a Hollywood Broadway production.
	That's all this is.
	In a real trial, you'd say, Your Honor, this evidence is tampered with.
	So you had Swalwell, the lover of Fang Fang, who came out and said that Donald Trump called for the Calvary to come.
	Calvary.
	Now, anyone in the Christian world knows that there's a difference between Calvary and Calvary.
	I sometimes, unintentionally, mispronounce one or the other, but I know the difference.
	Calvary, C-A-L, cavalry.
	One is where Christ was crucified.
	The other is horse-mounted military.
	So Eric Swalwell reads Jennifer Lawrence's tweet, who says, Mr. President, the cavalry is coming.
	So Eric Swalwell then comes out and says, well, on the House impeachment floor, you see here, President Trump, he was calling in for reinforcements, and the cavalry is coming.
	Now, to an untrained eye, you're like, well, that might be something, you know, maybe there might be...

	I would just give a dollar and a donut to figure out what's in the mind of somebody like Senator Bill Cassidy.
	Here's cut five.
	This is the same guy who was last week, just the other day, on with Meet the Press and Chuck Todd.
	The president wasn't there.
	He wasn't allowed counsel.
	They didn't amass evidence.
	In five hours, they kind of judged, and boom, he's impeached.
	Now, I'm told that under the Watergate, under the Clinton impeachments, there were truckloads of information.
	Here, it was a video.
	There was no process.
	I mean, it's almost like, you know, if it happened in the Soviet Union, you would have called it a show trial.
	That's the guy.
	That was last week.
	That's the guy who yesterday voted with the Democrats.
	Thank you.
	I like this.
	Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
	Male, female hour.
	Tuesday, excuse me, Wednesday's second hour.
	Having a close friendship with a person of the opposite sex when you are married or in a relationship.
	That is the issue here.
	I am not a big fan of it.
	I've made some of my reasons clear.
	And, let's see, who was I speaking to?
	Is the person I was speaking to gone?
	Yes, I guess so.
	So anyway, his wife has a gay male friend, so he's okay with it, whom she meets with.
	Of course, what I wanted to ask him was how he reacted to the caller from South Carolina whose wife said she was meeting with a gay man and they ended up getting engaged to be married.
	But she was not truthful with him.
	It was an excuse to be able to see him.
	You know, here's an interesting thing, too.
	I'm debating, because...
	I'm going to speak about myself for a moment.
	I... I don't have any particular desire for a close female friend outside of a couple.
	I have close female friends who are members of couples that my wife and I are close with.
	Do you have a yearning for a close female friend?
	I didn't think so.
	If you do, you should never be guilty over desires, okay?
	That's a deep belief of mine, and I've talked about men and sexual desires, which is not the same thing as friendship, obviously.
	You can't wipe out, because you're religious or...
	Whatever the reason might be, it is built into male nature to want other women.
	Okay?
	That's built in.
	It's built into gay men's nature to want other men.
	That's built in.
	You control it if you're a good man, you're a responsible man, you control it.
	So, I don't ask about people's thoughts in that regard.
	But in this regard, I do wonder, If a woman wants a male friend, again, not romantic, not intimate, sexually intimate, or a man wants such a thing with another woman, is that indicative of some hole in their marriage?
	I'm asking it.
	I'm not saying it is.
	But since I have no such yearning, I don't know what it would mean to have it.
	So that in and of itself is an interesting subject.
	Would you like a platonic relationship?
	You're a married woman.
	Would you like a platonic relationship with another man?
	You're a man.
	Would you like a platonic relationship with another woman?
	Okay.
	Let's see here.
	Ray in Valparaiso, Indiana.
	Hello.
	Hey, how's it going, buddy?
	Okie dokie, thank you.
	Yeah.
	I went through that.
	I have a female friend, or I had a female friend for years, long before I got married.
	I got married like five years ago.
	And this female friend even was involved in my marriage by setting up the wedding.
	She did amazing and made it happen for us.
	But I found out that my wife was bothered by our relationship.
	And as unfortunate as it is, I have to cut it off because I have to value my marriage over my friendship.
	And it was hard to do that.
	And that's how I feel about it.
	Well, I salute you.
	And I salute her.
	Did she put up a sort of a fight?
	I don't know if it was sort of a fight.
	She knew I had this relationship with this girl.
	Her husband, we were like brother and sister.
	We came like brother and sister.
	Her husband was 100% fine with it.
	And I didn't get that from my wife before we got married, that she wasn't fine with it.
	It was after the fact.
	And I kept saying that every time I would speak to my friend, it bothered her.
	Do you think your wife made the right call?
	I would say maybe not.
	Because it was 100% innocent.
	But I feel I did the right call.
	You did.
	No, you did.
	I salute you.
	And I really do.
	I salute that friend, too.
	And it's a loss for both of you.
	That's absolutely correct, and I honor that fact.
	Very good.
	All right.
	Stephen in Greenville, South Carolina.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Yes, sir.
	Thank you for calling.
	I also agree with the last caller.
	I think it was unfortunate.
	I don't think his wife made a right call, if there's a right in there.
	But I didn't realize until I was in the Army that I liked conversing, not just the attraction of women, but I liked conversing with women more than men because of the depth of the conversation.
	You know, it wasn't cars and shallow subjects.
	We're talking about ambitions and even sharing faults or feelings and talking them out.
	I've got male friends, but I had more female friends than I did male.
	Alright, hold on.
	You know, that's interesting.
	I find myself often gravitating to talking to women at a table before a lecture for that exact reason.
	Trending now on the Larry Holder Show.
	Mike, what is the number one reason you think people in the state want him recalled?
	Is it his handling of the COVID-19 crisis?
	Is it the way he's been ordering things like oil and gas leases and pushing a left-wing agenda?
	That can't be it because this is a left-wing state, so people must be ticked off about his handling of the COVID-19.
	And Mike, If that's the case, then what happens when the vaccines kick in, and what happens when Governor Newsom begins to back down as he's already begun to back down?
	California has 5 million Republicans and 9 million Democrats, but our biggest problem we have out here is there's 6.5 million NPPs, people that just aren't paying attention.
	They actually tend to be conservative, and the one thing that's uniting the state, believe it or not, on the right and the left is actually Gavin himself.
	The number one reason if you were to boil into two buckets is everything you said, but the reality is he's a bad leader making poor decisions, and COVID just amplified.
	We started this before COVID really hit the scene, if you will.
	This has just amplified the cycle and things like dining at the French Laundry.
	You think that's not a bad decision?
	The EDD, oops, we handed out $30 billion of money we shouldn't have.
	You think that's bad management?
	Schools are not reopening.
	The list and reasons to Recall Gavin, we have about 64 on our website, and we still couldn't fill up it.
	RecallGavin2020.com is long and endless.
	The reality is California...
	Has a bad governor making bad decisions, sending us in a bad direction for those of us that live out here.

	The 1918 virus iterated 12 times over the summer of 1918 and emerged deadlier.
	Do we know about these variants in any sort of way that alarms you, Andy, beyond the ordinary alarm that would arrive with any virus?
	My job is probably to be in a state of alarm and playing through bad scenarios and trying to plan for those scenarios, even hoping many of them don't come to fruition.
	I think these variants are not good news.
	I think these variants suggest That there is enough multiplication of this virus out here that the virus is going to go through this evolutionary path more quickly than we had hoped to try to resist where it can.
	Now, the good news is that the major variant, the one coming out of England, the UK, the one they call B.1.1.7, the vaccine and human immunity seems to hold up very well against that.
	There are other mutations.
	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	I welcome you to the show.
	So I was speaking to Stephen.
	This is the male-female hour every Wednesday.
	And having a friendship with a member of the opposite sex that is not your wife or husband.
	So I was mentioning back to you, Stephen, I was mentioning that I, too, I think it's I, too, I think you had mentioned this.
	When I am at a table before a speech and talking, I generally gravitate to speaking to the women because I like to talk micro-issues.
	I talk macro-issues for a living.
	You know, politics, philosophy, etc.
	I love that stuff, but it's all I do, or it's a lot of what I do.
	I like to talk about...
	Other things, and I will gravitate to the women, but I don't have any woman friend that I seek to have dinner with, for example.
	You with me?
	Right.
	Yes.
	Okay, great.
	All right.
	Thank you so much for calling.
	And as I said, thank God I don't have that yearning, oh, if only I could have, you know, not sexual, even just a platonic relationship.
	I'm hesitant because I don't like to cause any tension in relationships.
	I like to fix them.
	But is it fair to say that if you want, you're a married woman and you want a male friend, not on any conscious level sexual, but you want a male friend, does it or does it not speak of some Lacuna, some hole, something absent in your relationship, or vice versa with a man.
	Okay.
	Let's see.
	Christy, also in South Carolina, doesn't think it's a good idea.
	One of them is interested in sex.
	We have to revisit this topic.
	That's a very interesting...
	That is an interesting observation.
	Most of the time that I have heard about that, I think you were right.
	I didn't even say that once.
	Very good insight, Christy.
	I wish we could speak.
	We don't have enough time.
	Angelina in Ohio.
	I think it would be playing with fire because women want emotional connection.
	I agree with you.
	That's a good point.
	Mitzi in Minneapolis.
	Been there, done that, but I think it's a slippery slope.
	Good stuff, everybody.
	Sorry to Pat and Andy and Dominic.
	Yeah, ideally your husband or wife is your best friend of the opposite sex.
	Let's put it that way.
	And hopefully of either sex.
	All right.
	Stay tuned.
	We continue.
	We'll move on to what is the main event at the moment, which is the radicalism of the Biden agenda, pushing a lot of stuff out unilaterally and also pushing a massive stimulus.
	You know, we all can agree I think we need some more COVID relief, but it's much, much...

	The impeachment trial will proceed.
	Big vote yesterday.
	That's one headline in USA Today.
	Huge font.
	Trial.
	To proceed.
	Chilling video.
	Managers open by reviving riot.
	And then the vote was taken.
	56-44.
	Six Republicans joined with the Democrats in claiming that this show trial, this snap impeachment, is constitutional.
	Bill Cassidy, for some reason, out of The clear blue.
	Last week, he's on TV saying, oh, it's a show trial.
	Doesn't mean anything.
	It's unconstitutional.
	But because he didn't like the performance of the president's lawyers yesterday, somehow he decided to vote suddenly that it was constitutional.
	But then again, that brings you to six Republicans, which means you're far short.
	From the 17 Republican threshold to get a conviction, they've given away the ending.
	The vote yesterday sort of confirms that Trump will be acquitted, which will lead to the former president correctly claiming he's been vindicated.
	Certainly vindicated from an impeachment.
	You know, claim that he incited an insurrection.
	I don't know how many times, how many places you can play this.
	I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
	So the Democrats claim that...
	Trump saying, go peacefully, let your voice be heard, or make your voice heard peacefully, incites a riot and an insurrection.

	One of the things I wanted to go through is how the Democrats tampered with evidence.
	Yes.

	And David Schoen, to his great credit, came out and proved that point.

	Cavalry.
	Now anyone in the Christian world knows that there's a difference between Hi
	everybody, I'm Dennis Prager, and I am sad to announce that Rush Limbaugh died today, or last night, I don't know the exact moment.
	And he, whether you hated him or loved him, you cannot deny the enormous role that he played in more than any other single person shaping talk radio into...
	The most powerful conservative voice in this country.
	There are great websites.
	Fox News has played a big role, obviously.
	But in terms of numbers and sheer time, talk radio is the gigantic juggernaut of conservative thought.
	It's regularly mocked by the New York Times.
	As buffoons, basically buffoons broadcasting, I would put virtually any of my colleagues up in a debate against five New York Times columnists, and at five to one, they would not have an advantage.
	My colleagues are extremely bright, extremely deep.
	Extremely articulate.
	extremely knowledgeable I mean just in my Salem world just as an example Hugh Hewitt is a professor of law at law school right and And Sebastian Gorka, who's in the government, is a refugee from Hungary.
	And his command of international affairs is enormous.
	I... Well, I am who you know I am.
	I'm pretty knowledgeable.
	I have a pretty good grasp of the world.
	And did my graduate work at Columbia.
	I left to write a book.
	It became the best-selling introduction to Judaism in the English language.
	Written ten books.
	From Bible commentary to an analysis of the left.
	Larry Elder is a brilliant author.
	I'm just using some of the guys on the Salem lineup.
	There are no buffoons.
	And it's a juggernaut.
	And Rush Limbaugh was at the front.
	I broadcast, actually, he started in 88, I started in 82. Or 83, I don't remember which.
	And But I was local in L.A. until 1999. He was immediately national.
	And it paved the way for many others to join.
	I met him on a number of occasions, and he struck me as exactly the same person he is.
	People ask that, I know that about me all the time.
	What is Dennis like?
	To which everyone I know who knows me has answered exactly what you hear.
	Which is good.
	There's an authenticity about the person.
	And that was true about him.
	He did not speak.
	This is a very important point that I think is worth making and important for everybody to know.
	He did not speak.
	What he thought his audience wanted to hear.
	He spoke what he believed.
	That's very important.
	I know I have been led by that as well.
	And that is the reason that people listen to you, ultimately.
	That's why your children listen to you.
	If you say, if you give in to your kids all the time, They're not going to listen to you.
	You're not serious.
	You should want to earn your children's respect, not their love.
	You'll get their love if you get their respect eventually.
	So this is a loss.
	There's no question about it.
	And he had a special gift.
	He had political perfect pitch.
	Perfect pitch is a rare gift.
	I don't think you can develop it.
	It's a gift.
	You know, I'm very involved in music.
	So here, perfect pitch means, and I can't even imagine this, but if you hear a note, somebody presses one key on a piano or plays a note on a violin, it's irrelevant, they will say, oh, that's an F sharp.
	That's an A. That's astonishing.
	But they have it.
	He had perfect pitch in the political realm.
	He heard and saw what was coming.
	And this drove his enemies crazy.
	He was also very funny.
	He started out, I remember, his show was more on humor than it was just politics.
	It was utterly irreverent.
	It was truly funny.
	There is no late-night comic today who approaches Rush Limbaugh for wit.
	They're basically people with jokes and left-wing...
	Propaganda.
	That's really what it is.
	That's what late night TV is devolved into.
	So anyway, it's a loss.
	And it reminds us, appreciate what you have while you have it.
	Very difficult for people to do that.

	You don't know how tall a tree is until it falls.
	That's human nature, but it's pretty worth working against human nature.
	So, some thoughts on the passing of Rush Limbaugh.
	I am just happy, apparently, because he was, wasn't he, didn't he broadcast last week?
	I don't know if it was last week.
	Or at least two weeks ago?
	Or something very recently.
	So he did not have a prolonged period, which cancer could lead to, a prolonged period of real suffering.
	And that's horrible.
	And I'm glad he got the Congressional Medal of Freedom.
	He's done more for freedom than the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS put together.
	That's just a fact.
	Or anti-freedom.
	They believe people like me and him and others should be suppressed.
	CNN is open about wanting Fox News suppressed.
	The left can't handle it when anybody exists who says the left is wrong.
	They can't handle it.
	That's why they don't want us to go to universities.
	In their hearts, they know that one hour from a conservative can undo four years of indoctrination.
	That's the reason they have to smear guys like Rush Limbaugh.
	Right?
	That's how it works.
	All right, y'all.
	I want to play some of these clips.
	There's so much here.
	I hope you heard yesterday.
	This is a fear of mine.
	It's a legitimate fear.
	I raise issues with you of such spectacular importance.
	And then, inevitably, and of necessity, I move on to another issue.
	And then I wonder, do people remember that the Oregon...
	That I mentioned yesterday, the Oregon Department of Education believes that there is no one right answer in math and that advocacy of one right answer in math is a form of white supremacy?
	Why would you send your child to a school in Oregon?
	We'll be back.

	The 1918 virus iterated 12 times over the summer of 1918 and emerged deadlier.
	Do we know about these variants in any sort of way that alarms you, Andy, beyond the ordinary alarm that would arrive with any virus?
	My job is probably to be in a state of alarm and playing through bad scenarios and trying to plan for those scenarios.
	Even hoping many of them don't come to fruition.
	I think these variants are not good news.
	I think these variants suggest that there is enough multiplication of this virus out here that the virus is going to go through this evolutionary path more quickly than we had hoped to try to resist where it can.
	Now, the good news is that the major variant, the one coming out of England, the UK, the one they call B.1.1.7, And human immunity seems to hold up very well against that.
	There are other mutations where there's been more than one mutation to the spike protein.
	This happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there is some evidence that pre-existing immunity doesn't work and doesn't hold.
	So these are signs that we are going to be, like with the flu, facing Something that will continue to change on us.
	Most of these changes are completely harmless and completely irrelevant.
	Most of these changes, and this virus has been evolving this whole time in front of our eyes, have had no real impact.
	But occasionally they do.
	And that just means our science needs to be better.
	Where do you see this ending?
	In other words, I fear that all of these ideologies are a snake swallowing its own tail.
	In other words, they basically destroy, destroy.
	They don't have the beginning of a clue what they would want to replace it with.

	The totalitarians, I've said this all of my life, listen to Eric Swalwell.
	It's like they really got a deluge today of remarkable comments.
	Eric Swalwell.
	...what they're going to say to the courts for years, or do we go forward with a powerful, thundering case that we have?
	And also knowing that Mitch McConnell was already telling us that he believed the challenge was a jurisdictional one.
	So we could have called God herself, and the Republicans weren't going to be willing to convict.
	So we're proud of the case we put forward.
	Were there witnesses at work?
	I like that.
	God herself.
	Now, why did he say that?
	To score points with the left.
	So we could have called God herself, and the Republicans weren't going to be willing to convict.
	He should read my commentary on Genesis, the Rational Bible Genesis.
	I have a very powerful essay on why God is referred to as male.
	Anybody who says God herself is an ignoramus about what the Bible thinks and is a fool about life.
	Males need a male figure to give them commandments.
	Men don't take orders from women.
	So if you want women to be treated better, you want less violence, you want less corruption, it is better to have a God who is compassionate, as described constantly, and loving, and who makes moral demands.
	Ask a single woman what it is like to raise a boy.
	Alright?
	So there was wisdom in the Bible, which of course doesn't believe God is a man.
	God is not male or female, but God is depicted in male terms.
	Hebrew is either male or female.
	Hebrew has no neuter.
	English has neuter.
	But not Hebrew.

	I didn't want to know.
	But Chinese spy?
	That's a different story.
	And that is, in fact, what he did.
	Yes, indeed, my friends.
	I'm still reeling from the Department of Education.
	Sean, you want to put on the next one?
	Let's hear...
	Okay, this is President Biden.
	The military and police fueling growth of white supremacy.
	...capital on January 6th and on our democracy more broadly by your predecessor and his followers.
	While I appreciate efforts being made to bring them to justice, I worry about ongoing threats to our country from Americans who embrace white supremacy and conspiracies that align with it.
	What can your administration do to address this complex and wide-ranging problem?
	Who was the propagandist, the liar who asked the question?
	Does anyone know?
	He was a professor asking a question.
	A professor?
	Well, that makes sense.
	The creation of fake enemies is always done on the left.
	Always.
	And it was done by the Nazis with the Reichstag fire.
	This is what totalitarians do.
	They make believe there's this enormous threat to society, so give us more and more power, so we could suppress.
	So what they do is that...
	I bet 99% of you never met a white supremacist.
	I don't know where they hide.
	They must hide so well.
	I don't know where they are.
	I don't know...
	There were a couple of hundred in Charlottesville?
	You know, that was it?
	I mean...
	This notion of we have to rid the country of white supremacy is one of the most enormous lies in modern history.
	Every one of you knows it's a lie.
	I mean a real lie.
	Not to make believe Washington Post lies about President Trump.
	This is the genuine article.
	So they create, what they do is they create monsters, so you've got to give us more power to kill the monster.
	So let's hear Joe Biden's response here.
	What can your administration do to address this complex and wide-ranging problem?
	It's complex, it's wide-ranging, and it's real.
	I got involved in politics to begin with.
	Because of civil rights and opposition to white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, and the most dangerous people in America continue to exist.
	That is the greatest threat to terror in America, domestic terror.
	And so I would make sure that my Justice Department and the Civil Rights Division is focused heavily on those very folks.
	And I would make sure that we, in fact, focus on how to deal.
	With the rise of white supremacy.
	And you see what's happening, the studies that are beginning to be done, maybe at your university as well, about the impact of former military, former police officers on the growth of white supremacy in some of these groups.
	You may remember in one of my debates with the former president, I asked him to condemn the Proud Boys.
	He wouldn't do it.
	He said, stand by, stand ready, or whatever the phrase exactly was.
	It is a bane on our existence.
	It has always been, as Lincoln said, we have to appeal to our better angels.
	And these guys are not, and women are in fact, demented.
	They are dangerous people.
	Who?
	Who was he talking about?
	Some group in Idaho or something.
	God, he's such a tool of the left.
	I always said he stands for nothing.
	He stands for being president, and that's what he got.
	Well...
	Alright, how about the Biden clip on the vaccine, Sean?
	It's one thing to have the vaccine, which we didn't have when we came into office, but...
	Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	Why is that not a lie?
	Why is that not an out-and-out lie?
	We didn't have a vaccine when he came into office?
	Wasn't he vaccinated before?
	What was his vaccine?
	Smallpox?
	Did he get a polio shot?
	Oh, shingles.
	For some reason, the press reported it is against COVID. Is he going to be called out?
	Washington Post?
	Have it a lie detector on Biden?
	It's one thing to have the vaccine, which we didn't have when we came to office.
	It's a calf?

	Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
	And I have a serious thinker online that's about as high a compliment as I can give.
	Joshua Mitchell, who is a professor of political theory at Georgetown University.
	and I hope this does not in any way offend him, but I hold that against him, and I still invited him on.
	Thank you.
	Perhaps I can make it up by telling you that I'm also with the Claremont Institute's new center for the American Way of Life.
	Ah, okay.
	Yes, there you go.
	He has written a very good book, American Awakening, Identity Politics and Other Afflictions of Our Time.
	Whenever I have an academic on who is not on the left, I just ask, because I'm just so curious about your life.
	A, are your colleagues aware of your views?
	I think a few of them are.
	They don't talk about it.
	I guess the right way would be to say I'm largely left alone.
	Hold on.
	Professor, do me a favor.
	You're not that clear.
	If you're on speakerphone, I would ask you to speak into the phone.
	How about this?
	Is this better?
	About three times better.
	Good.
	My colleagues, I think they largely leave me alone.
	A few of the older ones have respect for me.
	Georgetown, like so many, almost all universities, has fallen for this woke frame of mind.
	Everything is really about social justice these days.
	I teach Plato, and the great question to the public is, what is justice?
	And yet, around here and in every university in America, the supposition is we know the answer to that question, and it's called social justice.
	Yes.
	Which, I've told my listeners for years, is not the same as justice.
	If it were, they would say justice.
	So, are they, for example, familiar with your book?
	Do they know you wrote this book?
	No.
	They don't.
	By the way, the fact that your colleagues don't know you wrote, you're a full professor at Georgetown, they don't know, shows what a bubble they live in.
	At the end of American Awakening, I have a section of acknowledgments, and the very last thing I say is that I'm well-published in university presses.
	I have three books from the University of Chicago Press and one from Princeton.
	And so I wrote this book with the expectation and hope that I would be able to post this with a prominent university press.
	And as I say in the book, without exception, I submitted this to every press, and every press said the exact same thing.
	Even ones I had published with, they said, I'm sorry this book does not fit our list.
	Doesn't fit our list.
	Meaning, we do certain sorts of things, but not other things.
	Yes, meaning it's not on the left, yes?
	Yeah.
	Very troubling.
	Very troubling.
	So you have a thesis here, and I love theses.
	I'm a fan of them.
	I have a lot of my own.
	You have three, in fact.
	Is that correct?
	The book is divided, yes, with three distinct sections, each one pertaining to a particular affliction.
	Good.
	So let's hear them.
	Well, the first is that we've fallen into a phase where we are Consume what I call the identity politics of innocence.
	And the second one is that even if we were to solve that problem, we're suffering from a kind of bipolarity slash manic depression, which doesn't have a medical treatment.
	That's the section where I talk about Tocqueville, who said, interestingly enough, at the end of Democracy in America, in the future, I see Americans thinking of themselves as greater than kings and less than men.
	So we saw manic depression in sociological terms.
	And then the third section is really, it gathers together a number of disparate phenomena that seem to be unrelated, like opioid addiction, fast food, driverless cars, Facebook, artificial intelligence, fiat currency.
	And I say all of these are experiments of what I call substitutism.
	We're supposed to use these things as supplements to real life, but in fact they become substitutes for it.
	Profound pathology that we're facing, and I think someday we'll realize it, but I think not now.
	We're still facing identity politics.
	That's the thing that's most amusing in front of us.
	All right, so we'll start with the identity politics.
	So you mean by identity politics that you are not, A, you are not American, you are black American or African American or Hispanic American, etc.
	And you are not you, you are white.
	Is that a fair summary of identity politics?
	Yes, I contrast identity politics with what I call the politics of competence, which is what we're supposed to be doing here in America.
	We look at each other, yes, we're different, but we're supposed to be building a world together, and through that, developing our own competence.
	That's what should be happening.
	That's the only way we can build a world.
	What we've replaced it with is what I call the identity politics of innocence.
	Okay, hold on with that.
	Identity politics of innocence, but I have a hard break and I want to continue.

	There are other mutations where there's been more than one mutation to the spike protein.
	So ladies and gentlemen, Dennis Prager here.
	I have a professor at Georgetown University.
	Professor of political theory, Joshua Mitchell.
	His book, American Awakening, Identity, Politics, and Other Afflictions of Our Time, is up at DennisPrager.com.
	And the first thing I learned was, this man who's been published by the University of Chicago Press, Princeton University Press, submitted it to them.
	But because it's not, because it's conservative, and not on the left.
	He would not be published.
	Look, I'm sometimes, I speak for a living professor, and yet there are times when I'm speechless, because there's nothing I can say that approximates the threat, the unprecedented threat to free speech that this country is undergoing.
	Anyway, his book is published by Encounter, which publishes wonderful books.
	And I say that as a Regnery author.
	So I just want to...
	But my listeners expect honesty from me.
	So you were talking about the first affliction, this identity politics, and you said, of the innocent.
	I don't follow that.
	So let me pick up where you just left off talking about free speech and try to get to identity politics and show you the link.
	You know, I tell my friends on the right that we should not be talking about this threat as cultural Marxism or multiculturalism.
	This is indeed something new.
	And let me give you evidence of this.
	So I'm going to list off a bunch of words.
	Hater, denier, transphobe, misogynist, homophobe, Islamophobe.
	Fascist, Nazi, and more recently, Insurrectionist.
	Now, all of these words are not designed to engage in political discourse.
	They are engaged, they are designed and intended to purge and escape goat.
	And my thesis in the first part of the book is that we are in a kind of Salem witch hunt moment in American history, where the task is really to seek A way to purge the poisons from the body social.
	Toxic masculinity, for example, is a medical term.
	You're supposed to purge toxins from the body.
	And when your objective is to purge and to scapegoat, you will have no respect for free speech because the task is not to build a world where people are able to freely exchange ideas, but rather to purify the body social.
	But this is actually a deeply deformed Christianity, because what Christianity understood right from the outset was there was a divine scapegoat who takes away the sins of the world, that all human beings are stained, and that only through this divine scapegoat could the sins of the world be left behind, and we could have something of a pure world.
	Of course, at the end of time, it's actually purified, but...
	We can only build a world together that's not wholly stained and polluted through the divine scapegoat.
	And my argument is that with the collapse of the mainline churches after the Vietnam War and with the softening of the Roman Catholic Church, which has been happening for half centuries as well, the category of transgression and stain left the churches and came out into politics.
	So it's not an accident that the Pew Charitable Trusts Published a study a number of years ago, which indicated that a whole new generation of people have no religious affiliation.
	My point to that is that they don't need to have a religious affiliation, because they have a way of understanding purity and stain and transgression and innocence.
	It's called identity politics.
	So it's been the failure of the churches and the synagogues.
	Solovey Cech was talking about this in the 50s, the new Jewish tradition.
	It's been the failure of our biblical institutions, so to speak.
	To wrestle deeply with sin and to give up on it because they wanted a God of love, not a God of judgment.
	That has basically allowed the movement out of the churches into politics of the category of purity and stain.
	Even with respect to climate change, I'm all for paying attention to science, but when you hear things like, we need to move from dirty fossil fuels to clean Green energy.
	And enough of a biologist to know that those categories are not biological categories.
	Those are spiritual categories.
	Which I think alerts us to why so many people are suspicious of climate change.
	It seems to me about more than what it professes to be.
	So we're in the midst of what I call a great awakening without God and forgiveness.
	The first and second great awakenings in America, 1760s, 1820s, were attempts to find purity and to purge stain.
	That's what religious renewal is all about.
	We have one going on right now today, which makes free speech impossible because it's about purging the impure ones.
	But it's one that doesn't have room for God and doesn't have room for forgiveness.
	So let me tell you, I have two reactions.
	One is, God, is it a joy to hear you?
	And the other is, Ladies and gentlemen, I am no longer necessary.
	You know, the concept of post-Christian, and I'm a Jew saying this, the post-Christian world has given us Nazism, Communism, and Fascism.
	It hasn't given us Boy Scouts.
	And I am as certain as I am of my name.
	That the collapse of Christianity in the United States will lead to evil.
	And you have put it in such eloquent terms that I hope everybody got it and I hope everybody reads your book.
	There are no irreligious people.
	I say this almost daily.
	The only question is, is it a Judeo-Christian religion or is it a secular religion?
	So, if I may pick up right on that, The pagans were involved in scapegoating.
	It's what I call cathartic rage of one nation battling another in the name of purging the other's gods.
	And Christianity put an end to that kind of scapegoating.
	That's why St. Augustine is the first one to come up with a just war doctrine, because now you can't go to war just to discharge your rage to purify the world.
	You have to come up with reasons.
	And the reason, theologically, is you have a new way of understanding Hold it there.
	This is so important.
	It should be italicized.
	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	Now, my next guest is involved in the effort to recall the governor of California, an effort that at one time seemed pretty fanciful but no longer.
	You know it's getting serious when the governor's staff begins to call the effort a coup and suggests that it is being led in part by white nationalists.
	My guest is a vet of distribution, sales, and marketing.
	In senior exec roles at places like Corporate Express and Staples.
	He's now applying his expertise to state politics to create a team of volunteers and to create some sort of hopeful movement for conservatism in this state of California where there isn't a single Republican elected statewide.
	Please welcome coalition founding member of Recall Gavin 2020, Mike Netter.
	Mike, how are you?
	Larry, I'm doing great today, except Gavin Newsom is still my governor, which I hope to change pretty soon.
	You know, Mike, I've heard different things about how the recall effort is going.
	I heard you're just a smidge short of the signatures.
	I've heard you got the signatures.
	What's the truth?
	Let me explain.
	We need 12% of the people that voted for governor last time, which is technically 1,475,000 signatures.
	We're actually at that figure, but before the public gets too cocky.
	Because they have to be verified signatures of reality, and we need 1.8 to 2 million of them.
	The good news is we have five weeks to go.
	And you want to hear some more amazing news, Larry?
	Sure.
	This is not only the largest initiative in American history, this is 90% powered by volunteers, not by the big political machine.

	We'll move on to what is the main event at the moment, which is the radicalism of the Biden agenda, pushing a lot of stuff out unilaterally and also pushing a massive stimulus.
	We all can agree, I think we need some more COVID relief, but it's much, much bigger than that and has a massive national minimum wage increase that would hammer the job market at a time when we should be doing everything to support it.
	It is almost as if, and I hesitate to say it because it doesn't sound sane, but it's almost as if they are trying to destroy the economy.
	It's so bizarre.
	Would you give them enough credit to say that they're not Trying to bring some kind of socialism or big government dependence to us via these strange means?
	Because that's kind of what it looks like to me.
	Yeah, that is what they're trying to do.
	I mean, it's based on a misbegotten but sincere view of what the country should be.
	Hi.
	Hi, everybody.
	Hi.
	I need to tell you, I feel like I am as close to an orgy as one can get, to use a truly inapt term.
	But I'm going crazy with this man, enjoying him this much.
	You truly...
	I didn't know either until now how much we have in common.
	And I just want you to know...
	Being on my show is 20 times more valuable than being published by Princeton University Press.
	Just as a fact of life, I just want you to know that.
	By the way, more mind-blowing about our kinship that you didn't know about, or I, is you have used the exact same artwork on the cover of your book as on the cover of my commentary on the book of Genesis.
	Oh my goodness.
	That's good taste.
	Yes, exactly.
	That's right.
	Good taste.
	Joshua Mitchell is the man.
	He's a professor of political theory at Georgetown University where posters of him appear throughout the campus and students genuflect.
	It is a very moving thing to know that there is one campus.
	Of course, I'm kidding.
	His colleagues don't even know that he has published this book, which is mind-boggling.
	I have to have you on again because I am certain, and I've said it all of my life, that this is ultimately a religious issue.
	Yes, yes.
	And you don't have to be religious to even understand that.
	I don't know if you're religious, but I know that you are.
	Which religion?
	Well, to be somewhat Smirkus, I would say I do missionary work in the Anglican Church, in the Episcopal Church.
	So you do missionary work among the Anglicans?
	Well, in the Episcopal Church, actually.
	I discuss with the...
	Yes, you know where this goes.
	That's why you said it exactly.
	Well, look, it's part of my theory.
	I'm Jewish, and it's funny.
	Today, after this show, later this afternoon, I have a Zoom session.
	With six or seven Jewish liberals, which is redundant.
	But nevertheless, some dear man wanted to have a dialogue, and I'm fine with it.
	It'll be fascinating.
	But what I believe is, I assume what you believe, that the left has poisoned both our religions.
	It has.
	To put it in the theological terms I used before, the mystery of God is it's both the God of judgment and the God of love, the God of mercy, if you want to put that in.
	And I think what's happened in the modern age, and especially in the 20th century, and maybe it's because of the catastrophes of World War II, I don't know, the two world wars, and beyond.
	Anyway, it kills me.
	Listen, I'm having you on again.
	Joshua Mitchell, American Awakening.
	Awakening, it is up at DennisPrager.com Are you still there?
