	Thank you.
	Ah, the on-off switch.
	Why didn't you tell me when I came in?
	Hi, everybody, and good Friday to you.
	Astonishing.
	It's Friday.
	I just recorded a segment for Waters World on Fox News this weekend with Jesse Waters.
	Interesting what topic they asked me to speak on.
	One would not have anticipated this.
	I mean, obviously I did, but most people would not.
	So basically the question was, Dennis, so how do you explain what's going on here?
	Or the Oregon Education Department telling teachers that to say that there is one right answer in math is white supremacy.
	So I told them my chaos theory.
	And it started with music.
	I mean, I don't know if it started with music.
	That's where I know the beginnings.
	There's no tone.
	There's no tonality.
	In other words, happy birthday is sung in a key.
	Any key you want.
	C major, F major, B flat major.
	It's a major key.
	Happy birthday.
	But it's a key.
	So that's called tonality.
	When you break that and you have basically random notes, you have a tonality.
	It began in the beginning of the 20th century.
	Guess where?
	You'll be shocked to learn in Germany.
	And largely with Arnold Schoenberg, the notion is you can't be constricted by rules.
	And now that's been...
	That has been extended to math.
	You can't be bound by multiplication tables.
	Why is 6 times 6 36?
	So, we've gone from moral relativism to scientific relativism and arithmetic relativism.
	White supremacy.
	My producer will find this of interest.
	I asked a question on Jesse Waters' show that I had never fully posed before.
	If math is...
	If the idea that one correct answer is racist is to be taken seriously, why do no African schools teach it that way?
	Do you think there's one school in Nigeria that says one and one is not two?
	That that's a form of white supremacy?
	The ability of the left to destroy and to get away with it, because the press is simply one outlet of the left, is quite astonishing.
	Why any parent who loves their child...
	Would send their child to an Oregon school is a puzzle to me, to be honest.
	It's a puzzle.
	What more proof do you need that the left is a completely destructive force?
	There's part of me that's actually happy about the math, the assault on math and arithmetic in Oregon.
	It makes it easier to make the case to people.
	See, when you had to say that men give birth, that was not enough for most people to say, we have entered the realm of the lie, the realm of chaos.
	That was not enough.
	People generally laughed it off, like they did when I said that on the Bill Maher program.
	It's not a laughing matter.
	The desire to destroy civilization is deep.
	Yesterday I spoke to, I don't know, about 75 New York University students via Zoom.
	And I left, of course, at least a half hour for their questions.
	So this is quite remarkable.
	New York University does not allow a group that has a speaker, like this group of NYU Republicans, To have a closed Zoom session.
	So, of course, disruptors can sign up just like serious students.
	So there were a number of disruptors yesterday.
	What they do is they take over, they unmute, put on their video, and then they put up something absurd.
	It was perfect because it happened on about three occasions.
	So, of course, the moderator shuts them out finally, but then another one comes in.
	And one of them happened just as I was talking about the power of boredom.
	So I actually thought I couldn't have arranged this better.
	These children, they may have adult bodies.
	They were college age, because in some cases they were visible.
	They are bored.
	So disrupting a national conservative speaker is fun, is meaningful.
	Get it?
	Now, when I think about myself in college, had we had Zoom, It is inconceivable to me that I would have interrupted a left-wing speaker.
	And I won't even tell you what they put up because it's somewhat obscene.
	Oh, my God.
	No, conservative students do not do it now.
	That is exactly right.
	There was one student there.
	Who attacked me, which is fine.
	I'm happy he was there.
	So when I responded, basically his response was, okay, I'm leaving.
	In other words, he came to make a monologue, to deliver a monologue.
	He did not come to have a dialogue.
	They fear dialogues for a very good reason.
	But obviously, the vast majority were there to hear me and to interact with me.
	And that was a healthy thing.
	The eight white identities.
	See that one?
	You can see this?
	The eight white identities?
	New York Principal Daily Mail.
	Sends parents pamphlet asking them to rate their whiteness and urging them to be white traitors who dismantle institutions.
	So I have this.
	This is the eight white identities.
	White supremacist is one.
	Two, white voyeurism.
	Three, white privilege.
	Four, white benefit.
	Five, white confessional.
	Six, white critical.
	Seven, white traitor.
	Eight, white abolitionist.
	Wow.
	You realize, aside from it's idiotic, it's racist.
	The greatest white is a white abolitionist, changing institutions, dismantling whiteness.
	And not allowing whiteness to reassert itself.
	What is whiteness?
	Do you know what whiteness is?
	Wow.
	The eight white identities.
	Oh, it's a big chart.
	And it's sent out.
	You have to understand.
	New York City principals send parents documents asking them to reflect where they land on the scale of whiteness.
	Mark Fetterman, the principal of Eastside Community High School.
	Now tell me, why would you send your child to the East Side Community High School?
	I don't know.
	Maybe there are a lot of people who don't have as a priority their child's success in life.
	I don't know what to answer.
	We'll be back.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berka.
	So we have an admission of accountability.
	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 this obstruction 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.
	Or 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.
	You're doing it for those thousands of families.

	. .
	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 difference, 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 agreed 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 parks 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 the proper role of government.
	But that's about it.
	Most things should be left to the states for good reason.
	The founding father.
	What's the story here?
	What's the story here?
	And a good day to you, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	I want to remind you of a product that I asked to advertise on my show.
	It's very rare that I do that.
	But if it helped me, I don't know why it wouldn't help many of you if you have tingling in your hands, your feet.
	It's usually extremities.
	I had them in my feet much of my life.
	It's genetic.
	And I went to a wonderful doctor in L.A., Shuley, and works on nerves, and made some suggestions.
	That led me to discover Nerve Renew, and I threw away my inserts that had been in my shoes for 10 years.
	They have a one-year money-back guarantee for your tingling, pins, needles, that type of stuff.
	A year money-back guarantee.
	Remember, I asked them to advertise because it helped me so dramatically.
	NerveRenew.com.
	They offer a two-week trial and a one-year money-back guarantee.
	NerveRenew.com.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	So a lot of you are calling in on the math issue.
	I may not take all because I can't take every, but I want people to call in, obviously.
	The question to me is not why are they doing this.
	The left breeds chaos.
	These are people with profound boredom in their souls.
	Math as it is, music as it is, art as it is, literature as it is, history as it is, is boring, boring.
	We're going to innovate, right?
	Hope and change.
	Why is the left addicted to change?
	99% of their changes stink.
	They're harmful to human beings.
	So why do they?
	Because it gives them excitement.
	These are people who are almost always devoid of religion, or it's of minimal significance in their lives, and they fill that terrible hole with adrenaline.
	Do you know, I consider...
	I must say, I do indeed.
	So, I consider the notion that I must repeat every day, the globe is getting warm to the extent of constituting an existential challenge to life.
	Not challenge, end, right?
	Existential means end of existence.
	Texas people are dying of frost, correct?
	Staggering cold records are being set in much of the South in the United States of America, but we still have to live by the destructive mantra of the existential threat of warming.
	So as you are freezing, perhaps to death, know that the great threat to Earth That's right.
	And men give birth, and two and two is not four.
	And this is what the best educated believe.
	Do you understand that?
	Do you appreciate this?
	The best educate, best educated are disproportionately among the herd of non-thinkers, of robots.
	Robots!
	Systemic racism after two terms of a black president.
	Men give birth.
	Two and two is not four.
	Every time we break a record for frost, it is another proof of global warming.
	Not bad, eh?
	What you're supposed to say.
	And you call schools places of education.
	They warp the mind.
	Schools in general warp the mind.
	You must say the opposite of reality.
	It transcends Aldous Huxley in Brave New World.
	It transcends George Orwell in 1984. But they did foresee it coming.
	Anyway, it already came.
	That was totalitarianism.
	Peace is war, and war is peace.
	Right?
	What did Winston finally have to say?
	We've caught up with 1984 and 2021. Winston in 1984 finally had to say, what was it?
	Two and two equals five?
	But he had to believe it.
	Oh, you're right.
	He had to believe it.
	No, no.
	Well, that's true for Oregon.
	He says it.
	No, no.
	It's not enough to say it.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	They want your mind.
	Like God wants you to love him with all your heart and all your soul and all your might?
	The left wants you to believe two and two is five with all your heart and all your soul and all your might.
	I'd love to interview people in Texas with their record lows.
	Do you still think that warming is an existential threat to Earth?
	I would love to know their response.
	It doesn't even matter what you see.
	In this left totalitarian world, what you actually experience and see is of no significance.
	It is what they tell you to believe that is of significance.
	How many Americans have died because of 2 and 2 doesn't equal 5?
	The dismissal of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and zinc.
	How many have died?
	A doctor called me, texted me.
	I think I mentioned it on the air.
	I'm not sure.
	Texted me a few days ago.
	I had not spoken to her in about 10 years.
	She's a wonderful human being.
	And she said she is using ivermectin with COVID patients.
	And I think every single, not one died.
	These are not young people.
	Not one died and only one was hospitalized.
	The whole time she's been treating COVID patients, thanks to Ivermectin.
	So I called her up.
	She told me, this is something new in America.
	The pharmacist said, what are you prescribing it for?
	Who the hell is the pharmacist?
	To challenge a doctor?
	What's mind-blowing?
	I think a doctor should say, it is none of your business.
	This is patient.
	Doctor, confidentiality, and if you pursue this line of questioning, I'm going to report you to the Pharmacological Board, whatever the hell exists to supervise pharmacists.
	Who the hell are you to challenge me?
	You don't know the patient, and you don't have an MD. Have a great day.
	See, all of a sudden, this is so interesting.
	Oh, trust the experts, trust the experts.
	Now the expert is the pharmacist.
	Interesting, I asked her, would you like to come on the show?
	She said she'll think about it.
	You don't know the fear doctors are under because the left has taken over medicine.
	So the medical board in California might just simply take away her license.
	Because you can't save lives the way you think you should.
	Because the left is in control.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	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.
	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 where there's been more than one mutation to the spike protein, as this happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there's 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...
	It's 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.

	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	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 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, a place like Alabama, the median wage, It's $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.
	I think that was one of the beauties of the Trump economy when it was really cooking prior to the pandemic.

	died in a hospital. 33,
	28, died in a hospital.
	Thank you.
	Now you see what is taught.
	Do you understand what you have to say?
	It's another list I need to make.
	Things that you have to say that are contrary to everything that you observe.
	Men did not give birth.
	Two and two is not five.
	And, uh, well, what was the third one?
	Before global warming, there was a third...
	What are the two you gave?
	Men give birth.
	Two and two is not four.
	Global warming?
	Systemically racist?
	Systemically racist would be a fifth one.
	It's correct.
	My God, it drives me crazy.
	I need to memorize it because it makes it clear what education has come to.
	Hmm.
	All right.
	We'll figure that out.
	So here is the one from New York.
	The White Identities.
	Get it?
	That's where this began.
	The principal of the Eastside Community High School, Manhattan, sent parents documents asking them to reflect where they land on a scale of whiteness.
	Whiteness.
	Sick.
	It's sick.
	Mark Fetterman, the principal of Eastside Community High School, A man who could truly say he has ruined the education of his students.
	He could truly say that.
	He has perverted the word education.
	First shared the material with staff before he reportedly sent the survey to parents at the public school.
	Oh my God, it's a public school.
	My view is, I'm sorry, but if you send your child there, Then I cannot cry with you when your child comes home, not only an ignoramus, but an obnoxious one as well, who will just have contempt for you and your whiteness.
	Whiteness, wow.
	The eight white identities graphic includes a colored meter.
	Ranging from red to green, indicating that those who identify in tiers, including white supremacists, are bad, and those who identify as white abolitionists are good.
	By the way, it's not abolition of even racism only.
	It's abolition of whiteness.
	Which I guess means teaching that there's one right answer in math.
	A white married father, 48, who has a daughter, 12 and son, 8, enrolled in two different public schools in Manhattan's District 2, wrote in the New York Post an op-ed in which he said he fears his children are being brainwashed by their liberal school's anti-racism teachings.
	The dad describes his concerns when he learned His then five-year-old son was being taught about transgender teenage YouTube star Jazz Jennings.
	Five years old.
	He complained.
	Why did his son say another day in that school?
	He said it was inappropriate.
	He added that he was told off by a teacher for giving pink toys to girls.
	You hear this?
	A teacher berated this man for giving pink toys to girls and blue toys to boys and claimed his son was encouraged to take part in a gay rights walk in the classroom.
	Five-year-olds on a gay...
	How do you explain a gay to a five-year-old?
	I guess some...
	What would you say?
	Most men love women, but gay men love men.
	But of course, heterosexual men love men too.
	So without any reference to sexuality or sexual behavior, it seemed to me to be somewhat of a challenge.
	We shall return after I tell you about relief factor.
	I got two things here to relieve pain for you.
	I'm proud of that.
	There's necessary pain.
	Childbirth is an example.
	And then there's unnecessary pain, like back pain, knee pain, etc.
	My wife had knee pain for years.
	It's relieved completely by a relief factor.
	I didn't know this.
	I thought she told me everything, but apparently she never told me about Relief Factor.
	But she did tell me when I was asked would I endorse it, and I was about to say no, and she said no.
	That's what solves my knee pain.

	Trending now on the Mike Deliger Show. music The impeachment trial will proceed.
	Dun, dun, dun.
	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.
	Great.
	Good luck with that.

	I was a Cuban-American, and the problem with the Cuban-Americans is that we are the only ethnic group that you can make fun of.
	and pay no consequence.
	The Cuban Americans in the United States could be make fun of, mocked, but no one will ever pay a price.
	Whether you are academia, whether you're the intelligentsia, whether you're in the news media, it doesn't matter.
	Why?
	Because we sided with the United States in the very big fight with the big Satan that was loved and adored for 60 years by the rest of the world.
	You know, I've never heard that before.
	I've often cited to my friends on the left, Armando Valladares Against All Hope as the Bible.
	My friends, I'm Dennis Prager.
	I'm returning to this article of Daily Mail about whiteness, and now at schools, but now the father at two different public schools, two different kids in two different public schools, his five-year-old son is being taught about transgender teenage YouTube star Jazz Jennings, and then he was told off by a teacher for giving pink toys to girls and blue toys to boys.
	He claimed his son was encouraged to take part in a gay rights walk in the classroom.
	He added that even in math class, his children couldn't avoid the teacher's agendas, with his daughter's teacher telling her the only reason white people voted for Trump was that they wanted to hold on to their white privilege.
	Now, the daughter is 12. Why is a math teacher saying this to kids?
	Because the math teacher knows the only place she could get away with her propaganda is with 12-year-olds.
	There's no adult to challenge her, so she has a captive audience of children.
	Isn't that great?
	That's why they don't want parents to look in on Zoom sessions.
	The best thing you can do is check the Zoom session of your child's school.
	Any teacher who does not want you to watch it or record it, forgetting the other kids, just record the teacher, has a very good reason.
	They are afraid what will happen when adults...
	See the distortions of education that take place these days.
	The dad added in this article in the New York Post, he believes the teachers think they are doing good by teaching an anti-racist curriculum, but actually, quote, they're creating resentment between the races by telling black people that white people are inherently bad and hate them.
	That's correct.
	This madness is infecting all schools.
	There's nowhere to run.
	To be frank, it's frightening, he wrote.
	That's right.
	Now, there are places to run.
	What was the charter school that we were aware of the other day?
	There was a charter school.
	Yeah, the good charter school.
	Right, the people who came into the studio, yes.
	But they have a big waiting list of hundreds.
	400 who want to get into the school.
	Likewise, Jewish and Christian schools.
	Some, not all.
	You're not even guaranteed.
	Look, there's a very simple test.
	Very simple.
	Do you teach the 1619 Project of the New York Times?
	By the way, talking about that, I have a piece in the Wall Street Journal today about Rush Limbaugh.
	Rush Limbaugh.
	I'm sure you'll find it of interest, but I wanted to bring it to your attention.
	There's a point there that I should expand the constant accusation of Rush Limbaugh and anybody on the right of being divisive.
	That's the big one, right?
	Divisive.
	So, I get it.
	So, all the things the left does...
	The 1619 Project is not divisive.
	All whites are racist is not divisive.
	The Supreme Court ruling that you can't have prayer in the classroom was not divisive.
	Roe v.
	Wade was not divisive.
	The lack of self-awareness on the left is breathtaking.
	Indeed.
	All right.
	David in Castilla, California.
	Hello.
	Good morning.
	How are you?
	I'm well, thank you.
	Yes, thank you for taking my call.
	I believe in a very quick and easy way to dispel the notion that 2 plus 2 is not 4. It would be to set up a place scenario where a teacher might go to a store and buy two items for $2 each and then have the cashier say, okay, you owe me $5.
	Yes, I think that would be great.

	What do you mean we owe you $5,000 for the month?
	What are you talking about?
	You get paid and then make up some number.
	And, you know, and say, you know what?
	I'm sorry, but it all equals $3,000.

	That's exactly correct.
	A doctor calling in Los Angeles.
	Hello, doctor.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Dennis, can you hear me?
	I do.
	Hi, my name is Moses Phallus.
	We met about a year and a half ago, actually, at one of the book signings for the Rational Bible, Genesis.
	Nice.
	And I will tell you that a day that goes by without me absorbing some of your wisdom is an incomplete day.
	You have given me so much.
	Since I've started listening to you.
	I'm calling because I've been a surgeon in one of the main hospitals here in Los Angeles for over 30 years.
	And I have prescribed chloroquine, not to a large series, about 25 friends, patients that develop COVID-like symptoms immediately.
	And I prescribe them chloroquine and vitamin D and zinc.
	All of them.
	Got better within 48 to 72 hours, not one required hospitalization.
	I tried calling CVS Pharmacy to prescribe chloroquine, and the pharmacist asked me, Doctor, what is this for?
	Is this for COVID? And I said, yes.
	And he said, I'm sorry, I cannot fill your prescription.
	Dennis, I looked at the phone as if I'm in a surreal world.
	Has this ever happened to you in your 40 years?
	Never.
	Right.
	What do you think, folks?
	Thank the left.

	The 1918 virus iterated 12 times over the summer of 1918 and emerged deadlier than 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.
	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, as this happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there's 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.
	And 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?
	means because that's kind of what it looks like to me.
	Thank you.
	Hi.
	Hello, everybody.
	All right.
	Hello, now we're here.
	You know, every time I have said that the Democrats are for open borders, I get letters from leftists.
	What are you talking about?
	Name one who's for open borders.
	The ability of people on the left to lie to themselves is quite remarkable.
	Democratic lawmakers, New York Times, introduced Biden's immigration overhaul in House.
	The overhaul.
	It begins with allowing 11,000 people to become citizens.
	Excuse me, 11 million.
	Yes.
	11,000.
	I wouldn't report it to you.
	That's exactly right.
	Democrats go bold on immigration, Los Angeles Times.
	Go bold.
	I guess it is bold to open the borders, let anybody come in who wants.
	You can seek asylum.
	You get a court date.
	Is that a joke?
	You come to the border and you get a court date.
	The message is America welcomes you.
	You realize that with these numbers, What it does to American employment rates.
	You realize that.
	It puts the marginal worker out of work.
	It's as simple as that.
	Well, a lot of times that affects minorities.
	So this is actually profoundly anti-minority.
	But that doesn't matter.
	The more people moving into the U.S., the more Democrats get votes, and the less the United States is A society united on the same values.
	You know, people don't just bring in their ethnicity.
	They bring in their values.
	New Yorkers are the same ethnicity as Floridians, generally speaking.
	But they bring in different values.
	New Yorkers do to Florida.
	Californians do to Arizona and Washington and did it.
	What many Latin Americans do to the United States?
	Change the value system.
	To the left.
	To the left.
	Simple as that.
	President Biden inside made official.
	President Biden made official on Thursday his aggressive opening salvo in a decades-long effort to reform a broken U.S. immigration system.
	See, this is what they call it.
	It's broken and he will fix it.
	By allowing millions of people to come in.
	That's a fix.

	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.
	Great.
	Good luck with that.

	I was a Cuban-American, and the problem with the Cuban-Americans is that we are the only ethnic group that you can make fun of.
	and pay no consequence.
	The Cuban Americans in the United States could be make fun of, mocked, but no one will ever pay a price.
	Whether you are academia, whether you're the intelligentsia, whether you're in the news media, it doesn't matter.
	Why?
	Because we sided with the United States in the very big fight with a big Satan that was loved and adored for 60 years by the rest of the world.
	You know, I've never heard that before.
	I've often cited to my friends on the left.
	Armando Valladares, Against All Hope, as the Bible they've got to read to have even a glimpse.
	If they're an Anglo like me and they're Irish Catholic, they need to read that book.
	But I have never heard what you just said.
	I didn't realize that that is something you believe.
	I've heard it said that anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice, which I believe.
	I'm a Catholic.
	But you just said with great passion and conviction that this goes on all the time about Cuban Americans, and that's news to me, Congresswoman Salazar.
	Well, but think about it.
	Think about it.
	They can deride us.
	They can make fun of us.
	They can do anything to us.
	Anyone.
	The academia, even the news organizations.
	And there is no price to pay.
	Why?
	If you were to do that to any other ethnic group in the United States, you would have to, oh, I apologize.
	It's true.

	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 agreed 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?

	Ladies and gentlemen, every Friday since 1999, the same century the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane.
	I've been, yes I've been, doing the happy, happy, happy air.
	Those are the original lyrics.
	That's right, everybody.
	The happy make the world better.
	You have a moral obligation to act happy even if you don't feel it.
	You cannot impose your bad mood on others any more than you can impose your bad breath or bad body odor on others.
	Moods are like body odor.
	Don't impose it.
	Wash it away.
	Sorry.
	Life should be viewed as a series of obligations.
	One of the tragedies of our time is that we have defined our lives as lives of rights, not obligations.
	Tell me something.
	You think you'll raise a finer human being if you keep telling them their rights or you keep telling them their obligations?
	Just a sidebar for the edification of my audience.
	I'm in the mood to use big words.
	So I will be giving an exegetical approach to happiness today.
	That's right.
	I frequently engage in exegesis.
	That's correct.
	Are you looking it up, Sean?
	Is that what you're doing right now?
	Problem is you don't know how to spell it.
	Is that right?
	Oh, we got it.
	There she is.
	Yeah, she's terrific.
	Now, by the way, when men hear her voice, do they think that she's cute?
	What do you think, Daniel?
	Somewhat?
	You're not sure?
	A little bit.
	You know, that's how men think.
	You know what is amazing?
	That it sort of...
	It's sort of risky to even say what I said now.
	To give you an idea of the perversion of normal human interchange that has taken place.
	I live in a great world of I do not care what they say.
	It is one of the great liberating things and I love living a liberated life.
	Yes, indeed.
	You should all come out of the closet.
	When I spoke to the NYU students, was it two days ago?
	Two days ago, you know.
	No, it was yesterday.
	God, it's amazing.
	Yesterday I spoke to NYU students and I told them, gotta come out of the closet.
	It's tougher.
	It's tougher today, certainly, to come out of the closet as Republican or conservative on a college campus or at your workplace than it was to come out as a gay.
	And it was tough to come out as a gay.
	No question about that.
	Anyway, it's the happiness hour because it's such an important issue.
	Happy people make the world better, the unhappy make it worse.
	Today, my topic, I'm tempted to say is a big one, but they're all big ones, by and large, or I wouldn't choose them.
	But in the art of living, that's what this hour is about, really.
	It's the art of living well.
	What I am about to recommend to you, if you can act on it, It will change your life for the better, and everybody around you will love you even more.
	How do you like that?
	Is that a great promise?
	And it goes like this.
	I have made mention of this approach, but I don't know if I did an hour on the happiness hour on it.
	That I don't know.
	And that is to adopt the attitude in life, so what?
	So what are magical words to say to yourself?
	Now, there are times when you can't say it.
	God forbid you get a diagnosis from your doctor of a terminal illness, like cancer, you're not going to say, ah, so what?
	Well, so what?
	So what is you may die prematurely.
	You can't always say, so what?
	But you can most of the time.
	And you learn to do it by doing it.
	That is how most things are learned.
	You simply do it.
	Your mind says, it's a good approach, I will do it.
	I'll give you a fairly dramatic example.
	I was thinking with the living martyr, if this thing needs examples.
	So, as you probably know, if you're listening to the Happiness Hour, I wrote a book on happiness called Happiness is a Serious Problem.
	It was published in 1998. It's still doing well because it's timeless.
	It has nothing to do with 1998. Titled Happiness is a Serious Problem, my original publisher was Random House.
	Random House offered me...
	Not offered.
	They paid me an advance.
	I don't remember the sum, but it was significant for me at the time.
	That I can tell you.
	What is an advance?
	An advance is the publisher gives you X amount of money and they are advancing you money on the profits of the book.
	So you don't get profits of the book as they come in, because you only get profits of the book when they surpass the advance on the profits.
	That's what advance means, advance on the profits, that they pay you at the outset.
	Every writer wants a big advance, even though theoretically they might prefer to be paid out as the book sells.
	But we all prefer, nearly all of us, an advance.
	Because, among other reasons, if the publisher gives you a big advance, they are sort of committed to advertising and publicizing the book so that they can get their advance money back.
	All right.
	Anyway, I got an advance from Random House.
	However, it comes with a string.
	Not strings, a string.
	And what's the string?
	You must have the book in by X date.
	Telling me I have to have a book in by X date is like telling a blind man, is that one beautiful painting or not?
	Okay?
	With all his goodwill, we cannot really appreciate a great painting.
	You can't read a painting in Braille.
	Okay.
	Or an audible of the Mona Lisa.
	It doesn't work.
	So, I took my time.
	I did my research.
	I did my writing.
	I had no book for them by the due date.
	Mr. Prager, thank you, but you'll have to send back the advance money.
	So, I've chosen this as my example, and I live by it, by and large.
	Of the so what approach.
	And I needed the money, and I had already spent it, as most authors do.
	But it didn't ruin my day.
	I sent them the money, and then I got another publisher, HarperCollins, which ended up publishing the book.
	The more often you could say, so what?
	About things that are just negative in your life, the healthier you will be.
	You can't always, obviously, and you must know the difference.
	But the more often you can do it, ah, this I have told.
	This is one of my ten favorite stories of my life, which is filled with great stories.
	Top five, in fact.
	Fourth grade!
	I'm in a religious Jewish school, the yeshiva rabbi announces, boys, it is time for the afternoon prayers.
	I walk over to the rabbi, and I was not being obnoxious, but I was just sincere.
	I said, rabbi, I'm not in the mood for the afternoon prayers.
	Man had never heard mood and prayer in the same sentence.
	It was clear.
	Looked up, stroked his beard.
	Then looked at me and said, Dennis Prager is not in the mood for the afternoon prayers?
	So what?
	He changed my life.
	I realized, so what if I'm in the mood for something?
	Or not in the mood?
	So what?
	I gotta do the right thing.
	1-8 Prager 776. 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.
	I'm 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 where there's been more than one mutation to the spike protein, as this happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there's 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.
	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...
	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...
	It's $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.
	I think that was one of the beauties of the Trump economy when it was really cooking prior to the pandemic.

	Yes, everybody, you've got to know when to say so what.
	I think it's a variation on the serenity prayer, which I adore.
	When I see people get agitated over what I would consider trivia, I think, you know, I'm big on lists.
	I'd like to make a list of experiences in my life where I've seen people get agitated over something not worthy of agitation.
	I'm agitated over...
	The fact that Oregon schools no longer teach that there is one right answer in math.
	All right?
	I don't say so what.
	So I want you to understand, I don't say so what to everything.
	But in my personal life, it's...
	It's so critical to adopt, because it's part of the other element of happiness, which is perspective.
	How bad is it really, I mean, in the sum of things?
	So I strongly recommend it.
	It's a great thing to teach kids if you're raising kids.
	Why are you so upset?
	I wanted to go to, you know, X restaurant.
	They ended up in Y restaurant.
	I mean, that's really where a parent needs to come down.
	That's what you are almost in tears about?
	We didn't go to the restaurant you wanted?
	And look, you can meet an adult who gets agitated over that.
	So, this is another one of the happiness inducers in life.
	Now, this one is going to be interesting, I think.
	Catherine in Denver, Colorado.
	Hello.
	Hello to you.
	All right.
	All right.
	We're on to the fourth.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Okay.
	This might be a record.
	I'm here, Catherine.
	Go ahead.
	I'm here, too.
	Are you there?
	Yes, yes.
	We've established that.
	All right.
	Tell me your story.
	I'm very excited to talk to you.
	I received a Christmas Eve last year.
	I got a phone call, and I was diagnosed with cancer.
	And I was upset, and I thought, I may die.
	And my reaction was, so what?
	Because I thought, I started thinking about it, I'm going to die anyway, it may be sooner, but so what?
	I've got to figure out what I'm going to do.
	And exactly what you talked about is what has guided me the last year, is so what?
	It's freed me to concentrate on my action, concentrate on what I need to do to take care of myself, instead of worrying about it.
	And I even went to a counselor.
	Because I thought, maybe I'm not upset enough about this.
	Maybe I'm in denial.
	We said, no, you're fine.
	You're fine.
	You're concentrating on what you need to do.
	Well, I will say, if somebody had called me and said, Dennis, are there circumstances in which you would not advocate saying so what?
	I would have said, yeah.
	If you get a cancer diagnosis.
	Well, and that's why I jumped on the phone, because you specifically said that.
	But it works.
	It works on big stuff, too.
	I understand the trivial.
	And, of course, you're right on the trivial.
	My dad had taught me, you know, what's the worst that can happen?
	Ask yourself, what's the worst that can happen?
	That's right.
	That's right.
	But in this case, the worst that could happen is you could leave us.
	Is significant.
	Which is going to happen anyway.
	No, no, you're 100% right about that.
	So I just had to figure out how to live my life and what to do about it in the meantime.
	How are you?
	Listen, when I was diagnosed, I was in the middle of remodeling my house to sell it.
	I'm a Seattle refugee.
	I had to get out of there, finally, after 30 years.
	I was in the middle of remodeling my house, and I mean laying the tile and doing it myself.
	I started chemo, and I kept working 10 hours a day.
	It was like people were saying, you're doing that?
	It's like, so what?
	This is what I've got to do.
	I've moved.
	I've been working.
	I've been my treatment.
	I am so grateful to my health care team, to everybody.
	I haven't had the horrible chemo stuff that other people...
	It's not easy.
	I'd say it's not easy, but I'm just grateful, and I concentrate on one foot in front of the other because it's all about the so what.
	So what?
	I have cancer.
	So what?
	I wonder why.
	It doesn't matter.
	I do.
	This is life.
	Just keep moving.
	That's one impressive dudette.
	That's very inspiring.
	For the record, I'm not advocating so what to a cancer diagnosis.

	I deeply admire her attitude.
	When you cannot say so what, that's obviously a choice that you make.

	Hello, Lynn.
	Hello, Mr. Prager.
	I am so thrilled that I found you years ago.
	You made my life so much better.
	Oh, great.
	I want to.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	My husband used to criticize me because somebody in the street would come up to me and give me this sob story.
	Oh, they couldn't get home.

	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 and served 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 treat 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 do 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.

	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?

	Hi, everyone.
	The happiness hour it is.
	People get agitated over what I consider things that they should have said so what to.
	So, I often wonder, do people who get easily...
	Agitated.
	Do they like it?
	People don't tend to do what they don't like to do.
	You agree with that?
	Isn't that an interesting observation?
	Do you know I got it as so many things from you, my listeners.
	Many years ago, I learned from you, and I'm going to go get back to you, Lynn, in Florida in a moment.
	By the way, a reminder, I'm coming to Sarasota in April.
	So, mark that on your calendar.
	Many years ago, I learned people called to tell me about an unhappy relative and that they actually, contrary to my whole raison d'etre of the...
	Happiness hour.
	They're not aching to be happy.
	They revel in their moods.
	They revel in their sulking.
	And I'm not talking about people with physiological problems in their brain that causes them depression and so on.
	Okay, I'm not talking about...
	I'm talking about other people who are not...
	The way they are because of brain, the way their brain is constituted, or at least to the best of our knowledge, but who do somewhat revel in it.
	So I think about being agitated.
	It must give them some excitement about life.
	It's very tempting.
	I do this.
	I'm guilty.
	I'm less guilty now, thanks to you who have educated me on the happiness hour, but I am guilty of believing that if I want something, and I don't mean a new recording of Beethoven's Seventh, but if I want something big in my life, everybody wants it.
	So I want peace.
	That's been my pursuit.
	I want peace.
	The world is messy and agitated enough.
	At least let my life be peaceful.
	That's been my dream all my life, and it is.
	It hasn't always been.
	I've had my own struggles, not internally, but in my life.
	I love it when it's peaceful.
	I love calm.
	But I don't represent all humanity.
	There are people who love non-calm.
	The drama king or drama queen in your life loves it, loves drama.
	I hate drama.
	I like drama on the screen.
	And it ends in two hours.
	Usually happily.
	Back to you in Sarasota, Florida, Lynn.
	Go ahead.
	Hello.
	What I was saying is that...
	My husband would constantly chastise me and scold me because I would extend my hand and help someone.
	And typically, buy an air conditioner for someone.
	They had asthma and couldn't breathe.
	Or if somebody stopped me on the street, they claimed that they couldn't get home because they didn't have enough money for anthrax.
	And I would just open up my pocketbook and give them money and do what I felt should be done.
	And my husband would say, oh, he's probably lying.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	It's not clear.
	Your husband would say what?
	Oh, he's lying.
	Why are you doing that?
	You're wasting your money.
	Right.
	And I would say, well, what if it's true?
	And I would say, at the end of my life, this doesn't make a bit of difference.
	So what?
	So I want to address that when we come back.
	Saying so what with regard to your...
	spouses, partners, flaws.

	I was a Cuban-American, and the problem with the Cuban-Americans is that we are the only ethnic group that you can make fun of and pay no consequence.
	The Cuban Americans in the United States could be make fun of, mocked, but no one will ever pay a price.
	Whether you are academia, whether you're the intelligentsia, whether you're in the news media, it doesn't matter.
	Why?
	because we sided with the United States in the very big fight with the big Satan that was loved and adored for 60 years by the rest of the world. - You know, I've never heard that before.
	I've often cited to my friends on the left...
	Armando Valladares, Against All Hope, as the Bible they've got to read to have even a glimpse.
	If they're an Anglo like me and they're Irish Catholic, they need to read that book.
	But I have never heard what you just said.
	I didn't realize that that is something you believe.
	I've heard it said that anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice, which I believe.
	I'm a Catholic.
	But you just said with great passion and conviction that this goes on all the time about Cuban-Americans, and that's news to me, Congresswoman Salazar.
	Well, but think about it.
	Think about it.
	They can deride us.
	They can make fun of us.
	They can do anything to us.
	Anyone.
	The academia, even the news organizations.
	And there is no price to pay.
	Why?
	If you were to do that to any other ethnic group in the United States, you would have to, oh, I apologize.
	It's true.
	I'm so sorry.
	We made a mistake.

	That will...
	Add to your happiness in the happiness hour.
	Now, I just want to respond to my last caller.
	The subject is the ability to say so what is a major way of achieving peace.
	And peace brings happiness.
	You can't let most of what agitates you agitate you.
	That's so...
	The caller, last caller, she was saying that her husband would get annoyed with her when she would, I hope I'm summarizing this correctly, when she would give to just about anybody, any stranger who asked for money, she would generously give.
	So, without getting into the merits of giving to beggars, and...
	My heart tells me to give them, and my brain says not to.
	Not getting into that, I understand his position.
	However, for his sake, he's just got to look at this woman's predilection for giving generously to beggars.
	That's her thing.
	We can afford it.
	I let go of the agitation.
	If you're married, or you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you have to make peace with the package that you are in love with.
	Hopefully, anyway.
	And understand we are all packages.
	I should do a happiness hour just on that, or a male-female hour.
	And then your ability to say, so what?
	But, yeah, so what?
	Aren't I lucky to have this person?
	So this, this person comes with this, but you don't come with anything?
	You are baggage-free?
	Only your partner has baggage?
	Personality traits that are not your favorite?
	Of course not.
	Okay.
	So, that's what we have to learn.
	All right.
	So, the So What approach here.
	And Springfield, Pennsylvania.
	Michael, hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	I think we have to start using So What for those big questions.
	Here's an example.
	What if AOC finds out...
	Well, let me just say, if I were convinced that there is an existential threat, meaning existence itself is seriously threatened within eight years, It's an interesting question.
	Do I say so what or do I work my tail off to prevent it?
	Look, we had a caller who got a cancer diagnosis and was able to say so what.
	I'm not advocating it in every situation.
	The reason that I don't say so what...
	To predictions of the Earth's demise in eight years, I say, this is the sixth time or fifth time that I have heard that life on Earth is going to end in eight years or whatever number they always give.
	At some point, your credibility is shot.
	That's not the same as so on in this case, but thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	All right, y'all.
	And Joe in Mesa, Arizona.
	Hello.
	Hey, Dennis.
	How are you?
	Thank you.
	So my story is, my father died when I was nine, and my mother was a control freak and a drama queen.
	And even though we did have positive male role models to lean on, I grew up like that, and I didn't know any better.
	And it took me decades of therapy and your books and listening to Dr. Laura to realize that there is another way, and you can't be sensitive about every little thing.
	It's been a long journey.
	Can you give an example of something that would have agitated you?
	Oh, absolutely.
	For instance, a little thing would be somebody, usually a man, jingling the loose change in their pocket.
	Really?
	That's fascinating.
	One of the things I've learned is you need to pick your battles.
	And so obviously I don't get angry about little things like that anymore, but yesterday when I was tailgated on the road, I made sure to write down the details and I filed a complaint with the company because stuff like that does matter.
	That's right.
	Well said.
	The trick in all of these is how do you start on the road to not let things bother you?
	I'll tell you why would be a big help, but it's very hard to have this in your life, is somebody monitoring you.
	Self-awareness is the key, exactly.
	Like if you're driving slowly in the left lane, which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.
	Nothing.
	I just raised it because that does agitate me.
	Now you see, here's a good example.
	I'm challenging Dennis.
	Should I get agitated at a slow driver in the left lane?
	I'm going to think that through upon return.

	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.
	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, as this happened in South Africa, this happened in Brazil, where the vaccine is still effective but less effective, and where there's 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.
	And 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 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...
	Ah, my man, that's right.

	Happiness Hour.
	Subject is you have to know when and be able to say so what to so many of the things that agitate you, not get agitated.
	So I get agitated.
	I never thought this through in this regard.
	I get agitated by slow drivers in the left lane.
	So should I stop getting agitated and just say, so what?
	What do you think, Mr. McConnell?
	What should I do?
	Should I just say, so what?
	Yeah.
	That was good.
	You know what?
	That was exactly my answer.
	I'm not joking.
	So...
	It depends what's agitating me.
	Is it this guy is blocking me from moving as I should faster?
	Or is it, you know, they're putting drivers on the road these days who simply don't know the left lane is for passing?
	That's bad for the highway and therefore bad for society.
	I do think the second one, I admit, The first one bothers me.
	But the second one bothers me as much.
	I always say to my wife, do they teach the left lane is for passing in driving lessons or not?
	It's a question that will afflict everybody, obviously, at some time.
	Let's see.
	So Michael, yes, you have to say so what are the most drastic things?
	Well, if you can, but there are some things I don't want people to say.
	That too, obviously.
	Mary in Cleveland, her dad never got mad at her mom for who she was.
	That's a good one.
	That's key.
	And let's see.
	Frank.

	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 difference, 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 agreed 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.

	As you know, I always study the Bible.

	There are things that really matter to me in the Bible, and there are things that matter less.
	Everything matters.
	It is the Bible.
	But that question you posed has never troubled me.
	What troubles me is what troubled Job.
	How is there a good God and so much suffering?
	That's what Job is about.
	Your question is completely legitimate.
	Most kids your age are not calling radio shows talking about Job.

	So, I just want you to know, I truly salute you, but that is not an issue that troubles me.
	Does that make sense?
	Yes.
	Okay, I'm glad.
	Thank you.
	You have to know, it's like a take-off of the last hour, the happiness hour.
	You have to know what should trouble you.
	Intellectually, emotionally, whatever it might be.
	Morally.
	So, even the issue of, is six days literal, or seven days literal, or not?
	I always ask, what difference does it make?
	So it's a miracle if God creates the universe, intelligent life, etc.
	Life and then intelligent life.
	Oh, if God does that in six days, seventh day he rested, six days, that's a miracle.
	But if God does it in six billion years, it's not a miracle?
	There's a time limit on miracles?
	Okay.
	So I hope that helps in regard to that.
	Oh, All righty, Bruce, Queens, New York.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	First-time caller.
	How are you?
	Very well.
	Good to hear from a first-time caller.
	Hi.
	I have an article that I received from The Week, it's called.
	I got this in the mail last week, and it talks about the relationship between melatonin and COVID. I heard you talk about ivermectin.
	and uh...
	hydroxychloroquine and zinc.
	This ain't never heard of.
	It says melatonin could be used to help prevent or treat COVID-19.
	The Cleveland Clinic used AI to analyze a registry of twenty seven thousand patients at the hospital and it discovered that patients who took melatonin were twenty eight percent less likely to test positive Wow,
	I have not heard that.
	I certainly keep up with COVID. That's fascinating.
	I wouldn't be surprised.
	I read a serious study, I kid you not, that nicotine was helpful.
	And I think they particularly chose cigars.
	So, I should have actually reported that study to you.
	Melatonin.
	Look, the search for a vaccine has dwarfed the search for therapeutics.
	And I consider that a big mistake.
	All right, everybody.
	Thank you, Bruce.
	I did not know about that.
	And let's go to Carlos in Manuka, Illinois.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Good to talk to you.
	Long-time listener, first-time caller.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, I was listening to your discussion regarding the slow person in the left lane, which also can be aggravating to me, and I thought about what we teach in our church.
	I'm a pastor, and we...
	We had this marriage ministry and we talked about human beings having responsibility, the ability to choose their response.
	And that's been very helpful for us as we think about the guy who's too slow in the left lane or our spouse or the relationship.
	So I just wanted to pass that along.
	So why did your church resolve, as it were?
	Well, we teach at marriage ministry and we talk about issues such as the spouse that's troubling us or the friend or the relationship that's troublesome.
	And we try to encourage people to exercise their responsibility muscle, to choose their response to circumstances, to people.
	I'm glad I had you flush it out.
	That is beautiful.
	This is a perfect example of wisdom.
	I told you, there is no secular institution that I know of that imparts wisdom.
	There are secular individuals with wisdom, but there are no secular institutions with wisdom.
	Wisdom comes from religious institutions.
	Not every religious institution is wise.
	But that's the place that you will find it.
	That's a perfectly good example.
	How many secular people are getting that lesson in an organized way?
	I would assume close to zero.
	Alright, I appreciate that.
	And Frank in Huntington...
	New York.
	Hello.
	Okay.
	You agree with him?
	We're losing all our lines.
	Every line just disappeared.
	That is amazing.
	Well, I want you to feel free.
	It's a rare chance to get in the third hour on Friday.
	1-8 Prager 776. The whole board got wiped out.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	It's risky.
	All right, let's try it.
	I'll take one without being taken by the screener.
	Hi, do you hear me?
	I do.
	Yeah, what's your name and where are you from?
	My name is Alain Lombard.
	I'm from Vancouver.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Oh, look at that.
	I hit the jackpot.
	I can't believe it.
	A random call with one of the brightest people in North America.
	Thank you.
	Yes, yes, absolutely.
	What's on your mind?
	Thanks for the kind comment.
	You have earned it, my friend.
	Where did I first meet you?
	In Montreal?
	Where did I first meet you?
	In New York.
	Oh, I thought so.
	I was debating my mind.
	Montreal or New York?
	Yeah, I remember that.
	I remember it.
	In Brooklyn, right?
	That's right.
	I was there with my wife.
	That's right.
	Well, it's been good years.
	Alright, what's on your mind?
	Well, I was having a discussion at dinner the other night with some of our kids, and my nephew and the topic came up as to what is the definition of being an adult.
	And right away I told the kids, I said, you know what, on Friday, I'll call Dennis Prager and I'll ask him to give us an explanation.
	How did it arise?
	I think that is so much a compliment to you and your family that kids would discuss with parents what it means to be an adult.
	So how did it arise?
	Well, it was a conversation about...
	Relationships and how people interact with one another, and it was one of, I guess it was my 28-year-old daughter.
	Dad, what does it mean to be an adult?
	All right, so let me say a few things, and I have a lot of thoughts on this when we return.
	Trending now on the Mike Dellinger Show.
	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?

	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 mean, it's 26-year-old.
	They were his children.
	Nephew, was that the nephew?
	What's an adult?
	I have thought about this my whole life.
	I used to teach college-age kids at a...
	Retreat Center in California, which is why I moved to California.
	I got a job there.
	And as director of the Institute.
	So I gave them a talk.
	They were there for four weeks.
	They slept there, ate there, everything.
	And I said, when do you become an adult?
	So they all had 21, 18, 30, whatever they asked.
	I said you become an adult when you decide to be an adult.
	If you don't decide to be an adult at 50, you're still a kid at 50. Everybody has known a 50 year old child.
	They're quite common actually.
	You become an adult when you decide to be.
	What does it mean to be an adult?
	First and foremost, you take personal responsibility.
	That's the key element of adulthood.
	I am responsible for my behavior.
	I do not blame my errors on society.
	The left in America teaches people to be children because it's children who don't like adults.
	That is the essence of leftism.
	Children who loathe adults.
	They make them look bad.
	Adulthood is almost coextensive with conservatism.
	Thank you.
	I wish it weren't.
	I'm just telling you what the reality is.
	All right, everybody.
	Anthony, Phoenix, Arizona.
	Hello, Anthony of Phoenix.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Long time listener of the show.
	With the mission to Mars, if they discover that life was indeed there billions of years ago, whatever the case may be.
	How would it change your views on God and religion?
	Very fair question.
	By the way, Kopitar was a great player as well.
	Not as great as Gwesky, but a pretty good hockey player.
	Thanks, Dennis.
	Thank you.
	You're very welcome.
	I watched him during the Stanley Cup run.
	So, I was going to ask the callers on anybody, but he...
	He decided just to listen to an answer.
	It's a very legitimate question, but I have an equally legitimate question.
	Would you ask an atheist, hey, with zero evidence of life, let alone intelligent life anywhere else, does that affect your atheism?
	How come the questions are only posed to people who believe in God?
	Gee, X, Y, or Z, why haven't they challenged or do they challenge your view on God?
	Fair questions.
	But nobody asks X, Y, and Z, why don't they affect your atheism?
	Just not asked, are they?
	Cracks me up.
	So there's like no challenge to atheism.
	If they found evidence of life on Mars, it would have zero impact on me.
	Because, if anything, it might increase my belief in God.
	That spores from Earth, or what, through an asteroid collision or whatever, got onto Mars is how I would explain it.
	But even if it was there, that it developed, nothing happened, shows you how rare it is for something to happen.
	Now, I don't believe that life...
	Comes from non-life.
	A-biogenesis, it is called.
	That there is no biology to the genesis.
	I don't believe that.
	It makes no sense to me.
	That's the reason.
	It's not I don't believe it for theological reasons.
	But I've thought about it.
	What if we had intelligent life?
	My first question in intelligent life would be, do you believe in God?
	Or do you believe, how do you believe you came about?
	No, some variation on that subject.
	And then they would probably say, we have come because we have heard that an increasing number of Americans considers themselves nuns, N-O-N-E-S, having no religion.
	And we would like to tell you from the galaxy to Palladian that you are wrong.
	There is a creator, but he is bored watching Groundhog Day on Earth with every generation making the same errors as previous generations.
	So he has come to Terperadian to see how we're doing.
	That might be the response.
	All right.
	Claims that he is from another part of the universe.
	And I will say that when he said that at the interview, when we interviewed him for the job, I found it overwhelming.
	And I remember saying to Alan, this is our man.
	There is a certain non-human element to engineering.
	So he's, in fact, I'd even say he's our man.
	He's our thing.
	Thank you.
	Neptune.
	All right, y'all.
	Ah, do I hear the magic music?
	That means we're going to take a break and I'm going to be back with you.
	Now, intelligent life, that would be a blast.
	Now, my own view, based on just my own view, I admit it.
	Nobody has reasons, scientific reasons, in this regard.
	At least, certainly no scientific proof.
	But science leads me, actually in this case, it is science, leads me to believe we are alone in the universe.
	For better and for worse.

	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 and served 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 do 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.

	Hello, Rosemary.
	Dennis, it's an honor to speak with you.
	Thank you.
	When I first heard you mention math equity, I thought this would be the death of engineering and computer science.
	But I read some of the websites that discuss this.
	And there's pushback from some of the teachers.
	And one of their comments was, this is about absolutely nothing but thinning out the competition for good-paying jobs in tech with the kids of the people who invented equity math who are in private schools with real math.
	You don't have to say more.
	That's exactly right.
	Of course.
	Bill Gates is behind it.
	That's right.
	Bill Gates is behind it.
	I mentioned that.
	Bill Gates is the biggest funder, to the best of our knowledge, millions and millions of dollars, maybe tens of millions, to this movement to teach kids that there are no right answers in math.
	I don't know what makes him tick.
	I truly don't.
	But part of it is our problem in that so many people ascribe wisdom to success.
	Is there any reason on earth to listen to anything LeBron James has to say?
	The man's a fool.
	Any reason to listen to anything Bill Gates has to say?
	His latest thing, aside from there are no right answers in math, Is don't eat any burgers made out of meat.
	All burgers should be meatless.
	You should see the ingredients of many of the meatless burgers.
	It's a giant leap backwards in terms of nutrition.
	Now, if the man wanted to fund a way to make the killing of animals more painless, I would be deeply indebted to the man.
	Okay, that is exactly right.
	Dove in Lakewood, New Jersey.
	Hello.
	Hi, how are you?
	I'm well.
	That's good.
	So my question is, how could you have objective morality if you don't believe that oral law is divine?
	If the interpretation of what's written is left up to any person that reads it, so then there are many irrational people that could read it however they want, and then they could say, who said the way you're reading it is right?
	Maybe the way I'm reading it is right.
	And there's many examples of people basing immoral things on the Bible.
	No, it's an excellent question, but I think most of my listeners don't quite understand the background, so let me quickly explain to them, and then I'll address your question.
	Okay.
	Traditionally, Judaism has believed that there was a written law, the Torah given to Moses at Sinai, and an oral law that accompanies it.
	The oral laws to be found largely in a part of the Talmud, the second holiest work of Judaism.
	So, is that a fair summary?
	Because I don't want to get into too much detail.
	But the oral law was an elucidation.
	So, for example, it says, do not murder.
	But how do we know what murder is if God did not explain it to Moses at Sinai?
	Or almost any law where we would need some explication.
	Do not steal what?
	Well, we understand that do not steal.
	Is really do not kidnap.
	It's, of course, do not steal property.
	But it's, as you would know, it is first and foremost the stealing of people.
	So this is the traditional, my caller Dove is offering the traditional argument.
	And I never want to knock that traditional belief.
	But the very fact...
	For example, the rabbis debate among themselves what something means.
	It's clear that not everything could have been given at Sinai, which my listener would fully agree with.
	We're not that far apart, but I don't think that since the Torah does not imply that this was given, I take the Torah seriously, but I'll let him respond when we come back.
	In the meantime, it is very important for you to order Relief Factor.
	And here is, I'm very impressed with Relief Factor.

	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, as 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.

	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. - Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here Whatever's on your mind, we go with everything including religious topics.
	Sometimes they're not clear to people so I I hope this one has been through my elucidation of an Orthodox Jew asking me why I don't believe that the oral law was given at Sinai along with a written law.
	Is that correct?
	That's correct.
	Okay.
	Because, in a nutshell, I think that something so spectacularly big and important would have been said in the Torah.
	And I am giving you, in addition to this, A whole explication of this law, and we'll call it the Torah Sheba'al Peh, we will call it the Oral Law.
	Since there's no hint that that is given in the five books of Moses, I don't know why one would have to hold it.
	I'm a big fan of the Talmud.
	I use it often in my commentary on the Torah, the Rational Bible.
	Because it does explain, and it's the oldest explanation humans have of many of the laws in the Bible.
	But as I say often to Christian callers who ask me why I don't believe in Christian doctrine, I don't think God wants me to take many leaps of faith.
	To me, the more I'm asked to believe, That's very nice of that.
	I appreciate that.
	But the only response would be that you agree that God expects you to be rational and And rationally, you wouldn't have objective morality otherwise.
	So then it has to be...
	Well, why does there have to be an oral law to make do-not-murder objective reality or objective morality?
	Well, the Ten Commandments might be a little more simple, but the rest of the Bible...
	Okay, well, so...
	No, no, that's a big deal, though, if we both agree that the Ten Commandments is objective morality and it stands on its own.
	So that's...
	That could be.
	All right, all right, all right.
	Well, you know what?
	I always love when we can end on an agreement.
	I actually would happily have a cigar with you.
	So we should do that.
	I would be touched if you read the Irrational Bible, because a lot of Orthodox rabbis love it.
	Okay, everybody.

	So, first of all, my brother used to call you all the time when I was younger.
	He's a professional baseball player, so following in his footsteps right now.
	You're following in his footsteps calling me or as a professional baseball player?
	I've been calling you.
	Okay.
	And how old are you?
	I'm 20. Okay.
	So I was in college this last semester and the year before.
	And just due to some personal things, I'm no longer attending college.
	Good for you.
	I've learned more now about society, politics, Then I learned in college, I've been listening to you, a lot of Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and I'm not a very good student, but I've learned so much more through...
	There's no doubt you have.
	There's no doubt in my mind you have.
	I mean, I'm sorry that, not to you, but to others, but you included me, so I feel fine.
	That's a pretty good trio.
	Yeah.
	I learned from them.
	Yeah.
	I think that's great.
	There is zero reason for you to go back to college unless you're in science, technology, engineering, and math, and even they're being corrupted.
	Yes, I agree.
	Well, where are you?
	In Denver.
	Yes, I'm sure she watches PragerU.
	I'm sure that's part of the reference to me.
	It is a very powerful thing to have a kid watch people like she mentioned.
	I don't boast and I also don't deny contributions I make.
	I'm not into arrogance and I'm not into false humility.
	So just for the record, how I see myself.
	Or as I've always said, I don't let insults go to my heart and I don't let compliments go to my head.
	It's a very good combination in life.
	Everybody should adopt it.
	The three of us have a lot to teach.
	And I am close to both of them.
	We're not the only ones, by the way.
	I want to make that clear.
	But your kid could learn almost everything important in a far more open, intellectually honest way on the Internet than at college.
	Yes, indeed.
	All right, that was good, and I thank you.
	Let's go to...
	All right, I'm sorry.
	Alhambra.
	Oh, yeah, I don't get 92-year-olds that often.
	We'll go from 20 to 92. Hello, Frank.
	Good morning, Dennis.
	You know, trying to reach you is like trying to climb Mount Everest with tennis shoes.
	Without oxygen.
	Huh?
	Pardon?
	Without oxygen.
	Without oxygen.
	Got me.
	Anyhow, Dennis, you talked about happiness.
	How do you get happy when you've lost your mate seven years, there's nobody around you, there's people around me, but I don't, there's no feeling there.
	And I think about her every day.
	She was the love of my life.
	How long were you married?
	I was married 53 years.
	And how long ago did she pass away?
	She passed away going on eight years this September.
	It's a terrible feeling.
	It's terrible.
	My father was happy till my mother died.
	And exactly like, almost exactly like with you.
	He was 90 when she passed away.
	She was 89. Yeah, it's a terrible, it's a terrible feeling.
	You can't fill that space.
	I know, you can't.
	You can't fill that space.
	Well, what do you do about it?
	How are you going to be happy, Dennis?
	That's what I'd like to know.
	Right.
	Believe me, my father wanted to know that, too.
	I would say that for her sake, your sake, everyone in your life's sake, you have to make a commitment to trying.
	I'll try to address it a little more.
	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...
	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.
	I think that was one of the beauties of the Trump economy when it was really cooking prior to the pandemic.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berka.
	Thank you.
	But who cares?
	33, 28, died in a hospital, died in a nursing home.
	They died.
	Who cares?
	They died.
	Remind you about 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 what?
	He was given an Emmy.
	An Emmy as governor for his use of TV briefings in his handling of the coronavirus.
	Hi, everybody.
	I wish we had more time.
	I mean, we do a little now, but I mean, more time for me to address Frank's call.
	I might devote a happiness hour to that, Frank.
	Frank's 92, lost his wife a few years ago, 56 years married.
	My father lost my mother after 72 years together, 69 married, and couldn't find happiness after her passing.
	The closeness that a lot of people have to their spouse is a blessing, and as I've often said, most blessings come with a and as I've often said, most blessings come with a curse.
	And the curse of blessings is when you lose the blessing.
	Thank you.
	I think there have to be answers, certainly for the religious person.
	God doesn't want you to be unhappy.
	Your wife certainly wouldn't want you to be unhappy.
	You have to find it where it is possible.
	But if the only source, and I don't say this critically, if the only source of happiness was one's wife or husband and they die, then there is no real life buoy.
	I can only tell those of you who do not have this crisis that...
	The more arenas of passion and joy, the more people give you comfort, the better.
	That's true even when you have everything.
	Frank, I'm sorry.
	Wish I could give you a hug.
	Alright, let's see here.
	Let me do some summaries here.
	Let me take this from Danny in Ontario, California.
	Well, you know what?
	I'll have to ask you to call.
	It's only 90 seconds left.
	Yes.
	About achieving, is it the right thing with regard to the election night?
	I don't know what your point was because it's not listed on the thing.
	What I said was, if I... With regard to the question of cheating in the last election, if I didn't believe that Democrats had good reason to cheat, moral reason to cheat, I would have been much more convinced of the result.
	But if you believe that it's in your capacity to stop a fascist, Nazi, white supremacist dictator from gaining power, Why wouldn't you cheat in an election?
	That was my argument.
	I've written it up.
	By the way, I have an article in today's Wall Street Journal on Rush Limbaugh.
	It's an interesting thing.
	I should have put it in the article, but I didn't.
	We had broadcast the exact same hours my entire career.
	Okay, y'all.
	Have a wonderful weekend.
