One reason that I took off yesterday, aside from the belief that everybody has that you have to take some days off, is I spoke to my grandchild's 5th grade class, 10 year old.
He's in Miami, and they had me speak to them.
I was on a big monitor, a big screen in the classroom.
They were all wearing masks and socially distancing, but they were in class, and it's sort of surreal, the whole thing.
And I want to tell you something I know you'll find of interest, so I have given literally thousands of lectures.
That, my friends, is a lot of lectures.
And people ask me, are you nervous before you speak?
Often it's to a thousand people.
And I'm not, but my body or my mind is aware that I have to be ready.
It's like, is a baseball player nervous every time he gets up to the plate?
No, but is he, I assume no.
Unless he thinks the pitcher is aiming for his head.
And he, but...
His body gets ready for it.
But the only point I wish to make is, while I wasn't nervous, I was concerned.
How do you keep a classroom of 10-year-olds interested?
My friends, that is up there with swimming the English Channel.
Let me continue.
Keeping a classroom of 10-year-olds interested on screen, not live, and while they're wearing masks.
Anyway, I had to achieve this accomplishment for 25 minutes.
The teachers afterwards who were present...
Did say it was amazing how quiet they were.
To which my immediate response in my brain was they were just tuned out.
I didn't assume it was the silence of attention.
Anyway, I am here to report to you what I do when I speak to very young or even Not even very young.
When I speak to high school students as well.
If I have one message to young people, and 10 years old is young, it is that they cannot follow their feelings.
That they cannot follow their heart.
And that was my message to them.
I think they understood it because I used the dog-stranger analogy.
Every kid who had a dog voted to save the dog before the stranger.
Everyone.
I think there might have been one.
It wasn't clear because of Zoom.
There might have been one holdout.
There was one holdout.
You know the question I ask if you're...
Which is easily done in Miami Beach.
If you're walking on the beach, when I ask this question in Kentucky, it's not quite as vivid.
Most kids don't relate to a beach in Kentucky.
Nevertheless, they do there.
You're walking along the beach.
You note, all of a sudden, your dog has run into the ocean.
And he is drowning and 30 feet away, a human being is drowning.
Which do you try to say?
First, I know that you'll try to say both.
I've been asking this question since my 20s.
Same response.
Most don't save the stranger.
And I told him...
It's a bit bizarre, I said, I assume you all eat meat.
I mean, there might have been a vegetarian, but it's irrelevant to the vote.
You eat meat.
Do you eat people?
Why wouldn't you eat a dead person if you eat a dead animal?
I'm not saying kill a person to eat them, just they're dead.
Why not?
By the way, I never said that before.
I never used that example to drive home the point that humans are infinitely more precious than animals.
And I am a very keen advocate of treating animals humanely.
But they're not our equals.
Will history judge me to be unworthy of a statue?
Tongue-in-cheek.
Nevertheless, unworthy of a statue because I was a meat-eater?
Should society one day become vegetarian?
I assume so.
Well, anyway, I don't know if I got to the cross, but the teachers were happy, which is a credit to the teachers.
It was a religious school.
I remember asking this question at the Nixon Library, or telling the question, I didn't ask it of the audience, and there were students, this was a Jewish school yesterday, this was a Christian school, was at my Nixon Library speech, and the teacher came over with his students, who, my recollection is, may not have been much more than ten either.
He said they basically all voted for saving their dog.
And he, to his credit, was distressed.
My response to all of this is, I'm a big fan of religious schools that actually teach their religion.
Not all do.
Some religious schools are as woke as secular schools.
Their religion is leftism, not Christianity or Judaism.
But even where their religion is Christianity or Judaism, how much do they teach that relates to the present-day crises?
That's always bothered me.
If a child at a Christian or Jewish school does not know that you save a stranger before your dog, That you can't follow your heart.
I told these Jewish students, you know, that observant Jews three times a day say the paragraph from Deuteronomy, love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and so on, and do not follow your heart or your eyes.
It's a command that Jews and Christians take very seriously.
But do they take it very seriously?
I mean, they take it seriously when you tell them that.
But do they transport these items from generation to generation?
You can't follow your heart.
That's right.
The heart makes us human, but you can't follow the heart.
Anyway, that is one reason that I was not here.
And I have enough stories to do a marathon Dennis Prager show.
I wonder if it would be a kick one day for me to say to Salem Radio, just keep me on for nine hours.
See if I can do it.

We will take commercial breaks, so I'll be fine in that arena.
But I believe, and no guests, no guests, no calls.
Now, the interesting thing is the living martyr is smiling, which is in and of itself a momentous occasion.
But I'm thinking, would it appeal to him as a martyr to be with me all nine hours?

Now, this is very confusing.
It can be very confusing.
Because there's another consent decree that was approved many, many years ago.

I'm announcing for the first time that I would say the odds are there.
The odds are good that our cruise will, in fact, take place.
The annual Prager Cruise.
And never has one been more desired than this year, given what we've undergone in staying home.
It was the first year since I was 20. That I did not travel abroad.
First, I came close.
I was scheduled.
I already had booking to go to Hungary to give a speech.
And then they closed down Hungary.
They were thinking of closing down Hungary except for Dennis Prager.
That was part of the thinking, but it didn't work.
Anyway, go to the banner for my cruise.

Now, do you realize that half of what we now talk about would have been incomprehensible, incomprehensible, not even objectionable, incomprehensible 10 years ago?
How's this readily?
Coca-Cola uses anti-racist training that tells employees try to be less white.
So this is a difficult moment for me, but I have to say that of the three of us, this is really dedicated to Sean.
Thank you.
Sean, there's great love and admiration here for you, but you are too white.
Somebody should tell you, and it should be somebody whom you trust.
You can't do anything about it.
Oh, you're playing into their hands.
This is what it means.
Are you ready?
This is what Coca-Cola.
Oh, they had a training video by a woman, Robin DiAngelo.
Robin DiAngelo should be one of the greatest believers in God living because God splitting the sea for the Israelites.

In terms of the miraculous, she is up there with walking on water, with loaves into wine, with the ten plagues.
Oh, man!
Why does that have to do with anything?
Oh, The Miracle Worker with Helen Keller, yes, that's true.
But it's not the same thing.
So there's a training video by this woman, author of the book White Fragility, and it's titled Confronting Racism.
Ready?
In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white.
Research shows, don't you love that?
Research shows.
It means what you're about to hear is usually drivel.
Research shows that by age three to four, children understand it is better to be white.
That's really amazing.
What?
Now wait, here's a question.
What if the kid grows up only with whites?
The kid is in rural Idaho.
Better than whom?
Who's he better than?
All I could tell you is my older son, when I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up, he was about seven.
He said black.
He did.
And he wasn't kidding, because all his heroes were black.
The room was filled with Laker photos.
If I really do believe, had you asked my sons, and certainly I could speak for the older one in this case, do you feel that you are better than others because you're white?
A, they would have said, huh?
Which is the proper answer, by the way.
The proper answer to that question is...
What?
Huh?
Okay.
So, this is remarkable.
Employees are told in the What You Can Do section that to be less white, one can.
Ready?
One, be less oppressive.
Less oppressive.

By the way, isn't she certain?
Barbara D'Angelo is not certain?
Robin DiAngelo?
Oh, don't mention Barbara.
I don't even want to get to.
Robin DiAngelo is not certain?
Then why does she speak with such certitude?
Be less defensive.
Meaning, if somebody says, hey, you know, you may act perfectly decently toward non-whites, but you're a racist.
Incidentally, the entire thing is fraudulent, morally fraudulent.
I have a very good background in moral thought.
So let me explain something.
Are you a racist?
Let's say you have racist thoughts.
Let's say you do.
But you never act on them.
So what?
I'll give you an example from the Ten Commandments.
Let's say you're married and you have adulterous thoughts.
Now, I know that some Christians will say that Christ and Matthew was saying that if you look at another woman with lust, it is as if you've committed adultery with your heart.
I understand that, and I have Talk to scholars of New Testament Greek, and I believe that that is not exactly what he said.
Nevertheless, I'm putting religion aside.
Anyway, no Christian really believes it's the same thing, and neither did Jesus.
He said, with your heart.
Adultery with your heart is not the same as adultery with another organ.
So it's irrelevant from my understanding of morality, okay?
It is irrelevant what you think.
As I've said, I said it last week, I don't care if you don't like Jews, and I'm a Jew.
I don't care.
I care how you treat Jews.

There was one story of a woman who really didn't like Jews and risked her life to save them.
She said, I don't like Jews.
I think they should leave the country, but I don't think they should be murdered.

Tucker makes the argument, and we're going to play the clip here in just a second, that the current revolution that we are living through, which we are living through a revolution, is unlike anything that Americans are used to. is unlike anything that Americans are used to.
Instead of living through a revolution that is the workers or the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, it's the powerful versus the workers.
This revolution that we are living through, and make no mistake, we are living through a revolution.
It hasn't hit critical mass yet, but if you look carefully and closely, it's there.
But this particular moment, which is around the idea of social justice and racial justice, has actually been engineered by people with a very specific agenda.
This is not an organic revolution.
This is not something that is authentic.
Instead, it's as if this was built in a laboratory, as if this was designed by an architect to try and accomplish a goal.
What is that goal?
Why are so few people talking about it?

that we do Hello, my friends.
Dennis Prager here, and the Athens are just part of the battle to stem the decline of America, which is obviously taking place at an incredibly quick pace.
So you deal with parents and teachers.
Let me get your reaction to my view.
That if people can, and by the way, if you differ, it's totally okay.
I really want to reassure you of this.
So, I believe if people can, in most cases, unless their child is at a responsible school, that they homeschool their child.
A, is that good advice, or legitimate advice, and B, is it practical?
Well, first of all, I definitely think it's legitimate advice.
And I'll tell you, my kids are in what has been known to be an excellent, top-notch public school district.
Lately, though, I'm going to be brutally honest, I myself, against all odds, have been thinking every single day about whether or not I need to pull my kids out now to homeschool them.
And that's something that, as, you know, a parent who's...
Mother, grandmother, and sister all were teachers, wonderful teachers in our school system.
I have been a fervent believer in public schools or private schools, if that's what you choose, but I am now thinking that, wow, we're in a different age.
Homeschooling might be the way to go.
What happened at your child's school that made you start thinking in this direction?
Well, you know, it's interesting.
Hidden blessing of these lockdowns.
I have not been a fan of the lockdowns at all.
If anyone follows me on social media, you will see that I have not been a fan of these lockdowns.
But with these lockdowns, I got a window into my child's class.
Both of my children are in elementary school, and I got very alarming windows into their classrooms in terms of what was being taught.
And celebrated and what was not being taught and celebrated.
And I'll tell you, one of the things that happened in August at the very beginning of the school year that alarmed me was that one of my daughter's teachers was not saying the Pledge of Allegiance in class.
I had one child who was standing up in front of her computer saying it and the other child who was not.
And that was the first hint of, oh, wait a second, what's going on?
So, as a parent, Who feels very strongly about our American values and unifying as Americans no matter what, you know, diverse background we come from.
I and my daughter both asked, hey, how come we're not saying the Pledge of Allegiance is a class for the purposes of unity amidst this distance learning disaster?
And it was a very contentious conversation.
In the end, the teachers started saying the Pledge of Allegiance to, you know, continue with the rest of it.
Class throughout the year, but that was the first thing that happened.
And I also noticed, you know, various parts of history weren't being taught.
When 9-11 came around, there was a very minimal, I call it gray area blob of a lesson that was discussed, and there wasn't a proper history lesson.
So things like that started turning me on and getting me to notice what is happening in our schools.
I'm quiet because I'm assimilating this into my mind.
So would you say now, maybe you have no idea as well, in the public schools of the United States, what percentage of classes do you think or schools say the pledge?
That I don't know, and it's a great question.
And quite frankly, I've never thought of the percentage.
I do know from, you know, word of mouth.
Talking to different parents, especially in our new program here at PragerU, our PREP program, resources for educators and parents, a lot of discussion has been happening in our private Facebook group that we have when you become a member, and the majority of those parents in our private Facebook group have been saying that the Pledge of Allegiance stops once the child goes to middle school, which...
I find to be very sad because middle school is a very important time when, you know, obviously our elementary school children start formulating their own opinions and becoming more aware of the world around them, and they're very impressionable.
But that is the consensus that I've learned from the parent discussion in our group.

So we were talking about the pledge, and you're talking, I mean, everything you say is so important.
The middle school years and their significance, and dropping the pledge in many cases.
So, where do you live, if I may?
You don't have to give me your address, but what city?
You want to visit?
I live in a small suburb outside of Los Angeles.
Okay.
So, L.A., I mean, I'm shocked that there's any pledging of allegiance in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Right.
I mean, we are thankful for the teachers that share our pro-America values that are doing it in their class.
And I cited the Pledge of Allegiance in our earlier conversation because that's where I'm at now with my elementary school kids.
But when I start to learn about what many of the middle school and junior high kids in public and private schools are being taught now, it's very divisive.
It's very selective history.
The history that you and I were taught in school is no longer valid because every...
I'll say this.
I don't want to make too many generalizations, but most...
Everything now, especially in Los Angeles schools, public and private, is taught through this lens of quote-unquote white supremacy, meaning that every teacher, for instance, many teachers are trying to abandon studying Shakespeare because they say that Shakespeare promotes white supremacy.
Many teachers are, you know, trying to overhaul their history.
Curriculum that they're providing in schools to reflect debunked myths like the 1619 Project, where America was not founded, you know, where it says America was not founded on freedom, but we were instead founded when the first slave ship arrived in Jamestown in 1619. So we're seeing this very dangerous revision of history being not based on fact.
Being injected into many of our public and private schools.
So what are you doing with PrEP, the resources for educators and parents with PragerU?
What do you do?
What does that mean?
Right.
So PrEP has two purposes.
One is to form an army, if you will, of like-minded parents, kindred spirits, with pro-American positive celebration of all of our values, so we can support each other and...
Be able to give each other courage to speak up in our own schools and push back on some of this leftist injection into our education.
And then the second purpose, which is the most fun, is creating educational and entertaining video content for kindergartners through 12th graders.
We have a variety of different shows that we are producing right now for when you become a member of PrEP for your kids to watch.
We're doing a story time with your favorite dog, Otto.
We have an Otto character in our story time for kindergartners.
We have a series of magazines that are being produced for third through fifth graders highlighting very important American figures in history.
We have different, you know, five-minute videos that are being rehashed and repurposed for the younger set to be able to digest, you know, if you're in junior high or high school so that they can learn our history in a very fun way that is not being taught in their schools.
We're providing resources for parents to depend on to give their kids a positive Celebratory experience for being raised with American values because they're not getting it in many schools.
And how do people get in touch with you?
So you can go to PragerU.com slash prep, P-R-E-P, and you can become a member there.
And right now our membership, it's really remarkable and exciting because we've only, we've launched, we launched just a few months ago and we're just getting started.
Like I said, we're creating this army of like-minded parents to give each other courage for our schools and communities.
And you can become a member there.
And we're starting this movement together.
PragerU.com slash prep.
Yes.
Okay, I'm going to keep checking in with you because I can't think of more important work in America right now.
It is important work.
Well, thank you for what you're doing.
Jill Simonian.
Thank you.

Basically my whole life I have said it was so much easier to raise my generation than it is to raise the current.
So this is not new, but it's worse.
You sent your kid off to school and you just knew they were reinforced with fundamental American values.
Fairness.
What is it?
Truth, justice, and the American way?
The motto of Superman?
That's what they were taught.
Well, I went to a religious school, so it's not fair to use it.
Even if you're not religious, you should put your kids in a religious school.
You can't hurt them.
Right?
You can't hurt them.
Secular school can hurt them.
That's a fact.
It's not an opinion.
Unless you believe that it doesn't hurt them to learn that men give birth.
Or that they are all racist if they're white.
I read to you what Coca-Cola's doing.
It's a whistleblower report the Federalist put out.

But we're divisive.

It cannot be attributed to anything the new administration has done.

They can't give Trump credit for anything.
So it can't be that Trump was right.
That we ought not shut down the economy.
Trump was right.
These experts are stunned.
And it turns out it doesn't matter what the state did.
Whether there was a draconian shutdown like California, which brake slammed our economy, or whether the state more or less kept open like Florida, the numbers are about the same.
In fact, they're better in Florida when you consider the average age of a Floridian is older than the average age of other states.
So really, Florida did better.
This does not fit the script.
And now that we're tossing around numbers like 1.9 trillion, like...
Nichols, the media do not want the news to be so good that there will be energy not to pass this $1.9 trillion bill that's full of pork.
So for all those reasons, the media has a vested interest in making things sound worse, in making the coronavirus news, good news, put on the back burner.

Again, these like really ignorant, usually white corporations, they just want to throw money.
It's like a shakedown.
So we're taking part of their narrative, the black part and the matter part, And we're saying, every single Black life matters to me.
Does every single Black life matter to you?
So that's a different kind of a thing when you talk to a Black Lives Matter person who's, Black lives matter, bro!
Black lives matter!
And you say, look, every single Black life matters to me.
Does it matter to you?
You know, like, uh, they know it's a trick, right?
And then I go on to explain, from conception to the grave, Every Black life matters to us.
Does that matter to you?
Then they're caught in a conundrum.

Dennis Prager here.
Temple City, California.
David, hello.
Yeah, hi, Dennis.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, hi.
I listen to you all the time when I work and stuff, so it's great to get through to you.
Thank you.
My question is, how the heck is a white person supposed to act?
I'm 68 years old.
I've worked in the service industry, retail.
Well, you're a racist for doing that.
So how am I supposed to act?
I know.
You, my friend, have asked the question.
That's right.
The truth is that the whole thing is a charade.
It's a fraud.
There is no systemic white racism.
The vast majority of whites are not racist.
The vast majority of whites do not believe that inherently white is superior.
Hitler was white.
Stalin was white.
London was white.
The idea is just preposterous.
There are great whites and lousy whites.
There are great blacks and lousy blacks, etc., etc.
That's the human condition.
But these people are children.
They have some...
Make-believe you of the world that they then call real.
They don't care how you act.
They don't care.
The very fact that you're white makes you racist.
You could be the most noble white on earth.
It doesn't matter to the left.
They don't give a damn about personal nobility in any event.
By the way, the reason the whole thing is made up is things are so good in America, in reality, that they have to make up things to battle.
People like D'Angelo, these are empty people.
There's nothing inside.
And so they have to fill the hole created by boredom, wealth, and secularism.
That's a lethal combination.
Boredom, secularism, affluence, secularism, as you will, and boredom.
The human being must fill the hole of meaning.
I need a purpose.
The left has created a purpose out of whole cloth.
Fight racism in America.
The least racist multicultural, excuse me, multi-ethnic country in human history.
This is what they do.
So they don't care how you act.
All of this is only hurting blacks.
That's all it is.
telling human beings, telling all of the members of a society that one group is different from all others, hurts them.

It is Donald Trump's party.
What have we been saying here?
It's the only measure that matters.
Conservatism has changed.
I know populism is a dirty word on the left.
It's used as a pejorative.
But in 2016, we saw politics change.
First, it was the UK with Brexit.
Then various other nations around the world, as disparate as Australia, India, And Austria.
But it came here.
And a man who'd never run for public office before decided to.
And he ran for the highest office in the land.
And what was his message?
Had nothing to do with the existing tropes of conservative politics.
It was about America being great once more.
A recognition that both...
The sides of the political aisle had failed the American people.
Irrespective of their skin color, what they did for a living, where they came from, whether they had an accent, whether they were part of some specific class, or whether they could be divided into the categories the left loves to divide us into.
No.
Simply, had they been forgotten?
Had their interests, their goals, their wishes been trampled upon?
Had their jobs been exported to China?
Had those that they had elected into office promised them one thing and then given them another or delivered absolutely nothing at all?

Tucker makes the argument, and we're going to play the clip here in just a second, that the current revolution that we are living through, which we are living through a revolution, is unlike anything that Americans are used to.
Living through a revolution that is the workers or the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.
It's the powerful versus the workers.
This revolution that we are living through, make no mistake, we are living through a revolution.
It hasn't hit critical mass yet, but if you look carefully and closely, it's there.
But this particular moment, which is around the idea of This is not an organic revolution.
This is not something that is authentic.
Instead, it's as if this was built in a laboratory, as if this was designed by an architect to try and accomplish a goal.
What is that goal?
Why are so few people talking about it?
Let's listen to what Tucker Carlson had to say last evening.
Play tape.
Now, the first and most obvious question we might have asked at the time, and no one ever asked this, but it's clear.
Why was a 46-year-old man reduced to passing badly counterfeited $20 bills in a convenience store in the middle of the day?
George Floyd was unemployed.
Why was he unemployed?
How many other people like George Floyd are unemployed and why?
Now, that would have been an interesting conversation.
It might have been a fruitful conversation for all of us, but we didn't have it, and we didn't have it by design.
You know, of course, he dances around.
He doesn't want to give credit.
The word Trump doesn't come out of his mouth.
But he does acknowledge it was the administration.
And Americans can understand it was due to President Trump's administration.
That wasn't the Biden administration.
In fact, somebody even asked Jen Psaki yesterday about the how many thousand deaths since he took office?
I think it's 100,000 deaths since Biden has been president.
And she didn't, oh, she couldn't believe that question.
How dare you blame us for 100,000 deaths?
And yet, they have no problem blaming Trump for the deaths on his watch.
So I don't know about you, but I'm a little bit grateful to Dr. Francis Collins for acknowledging something that the Biden administration refuses to do.
And that is Operation Warp Speed is stunning, is breathtaking.
Is epic.
And it was just as Trump promised.

What's up?
Unemployment is falling.
You wouldn't know it by the news.
I'll tell you why.
Because this good news is happening so quickly after the new administration.
It cannot be attributed to anything the new administration has done.
It therefore must be a consequence of what the old administration did.
They can't give Trump credit for anything.
So it can't be that Trump was right, that we ought not shut down the economy.
Trump was right.
These experts are stunned.
And it turns out it doesn't matter what the state did, whether there was a draconian shutdown like California, which brake-slammed our economy, or whether the state more or less kept open like Florida.
The numbers are about the same.
In fact, they're better in Florida when you consider the average age of a Floridian is older than the average age of other states.
So really, Florida did better.
This does not fit the script.
And now that we're tossing around numbers like 1.9 trillion like nickels, the media do not want the news to be so good that there will be energy not to pass this.
$1.9 trillion bill that's full of pork.
So for all those reasons, the media has a vest-- Hi, everybody.
I'm Dennis Prager.
I want you to remember the trio of the apocalypse, the three causes of all left-wing scenarios, actions, sicknesses, pathologies, combination of affluence, boredom, and secularism.
It's lethal.
One of the reasons that I stay religious is because I am a skeptic by nature.
That's why my Bible commentary is called The Rational Bible.
Incidentally, Deuteronomy, the third of the five volumes coming out in, I believe, September or October.
You can pre-order it on Amazon.
And it turned out to be the toughest of the five books.
Genesis and Exodus are done.
There are 200 laws in the fifth of the five books.
So you will find explanations for things that are either never commented on or not made understandable and relevant.
My intention is to have all of this as life-changing.
The Rational Bible and the next volume has been written.
I could spell Deuteronomy in my sleep.
Yes, indeed.
One of the things that keeps me religious, I said I'm a skeptic and I got onto the Rational Bible because I use reason, is seeing the idiocies that pervade the secular world.
You realize that the most foolish The most secular institution in the country is the university.
There is more drivel, nonsense, and dangerous pathology taught at college than at any other institution.
And that is the most secular institution in the West.
So if the center of secular learning is the place where the most foolish and dangerous ideas develop, Why don't you put two and two together?
Ah, because there's no answer to two and two.
See?
That comes from the secular world too, right?
The Oregon Education Department has announced that there is no such thing as one right answer in math.
Right?
To believe that there is one right answer is white supremacy.
Which is exactly what the Ku Klux Klan would say.
The left and the Ku Klux Klan on race are almost indistinguishable.
Both have a deep view of black inferiority.
So I am kept religious by the fact that the religious world has been the most sane world morally and intellectually in my lifetime.
It has been the only organized resistance to the left's takeover of language.
The only skeptics of this idiocy of universal masking.
Most people, not all by any means, most people know it's largely a farce.
and If it weren't a farce, they would have allowed people to visit their dying parents, correct?
In nursing homes with a mask on.
Why didn't they?
They're either cruel, which I have no doubt.
I think there's a serious dimension of cruelty in the medical profession and in the health services.
I do believe that.
I would not have allowed, as a doctor, my dying patient to die alone.
Okay?
That act is such a condemnation of the medical profession in this country as to make one weep.
And if my loved one were dying, I would get arrested because I would walk in and defy all of them.
F-U, you pieces of S, is what I would have said, but I would have spelled out the words.
You are not going to allow my dying parent to have a loved one present, even with a mask on?
Then stop your God-forsaken lies about masks.
Which are we to believe?
But we have witnessed, and half of America has supported the lying, deceptive, mendacious, corrupt Democratic Party.
And voted for it?
Nice people vote for a despicable party?
These are very bad omens.
Yes, so it's one of the reasons I stay religious.
Because the only place I find moral and intellectual sanity is in the religious world.
Non-Orthodox Jews, and I'm not even Orthodox, non-Orthodox Jews and non-evangelical Protestants or non-traditional Catholics, they have been corrupted.
For the most part.
Not all.
Not all, of course not.
And by the way, I might add, it's not like Orthodox rabbinate his...
You know, donned the robe of courage.
You know, we won't meet, we won't meet.
They should have met like some churches did.
But even in religious life, there's more fear of the media than fear of God.
Brett Stevens, who lives...
I know exactly where he lives, in the state of cognitive dissonance.
New York Times brought him over.

Brett Stevens is a New York Times columnist.
Brett Stevens has done a number of PragerU videos.
Just full disclosure here.
I haven't talked to him about his cognitive dissonance.
I don't...
I don't really want to because it would be too painful.
And I mean that totally, sincerely.
He works at the New York Times, which just nixed his last two columns ago.

Brett Stevens has his latest column is, Woke Me When It's Over.
I did not know about this Bon Appetit thing.
This is what I mean.
The left is crazy.
It's crazy.
In 2015, Bon Appetit ran an article by the food writer Dawn Perry about hamantashen.
Hamantashen is the triangular cookie.
That is traditionally eaten during the Jewish festival of Purim.
Purim is, in fact, tonight and tomorrow.
So this is perfectly apt time-wise.
It's usually a dough and in the middle is some sort of jam.
You know, strawberry, apricot, prune, prune, whatever it is.
Okay.
So listen to this.
It was headline, and he writes, Brace Yourself for Outrage, How to Make Actually Good Hamantaschen.
Six years later, a woman named Abigail Kuffler found the article while researching hamantaschen fillings.
She was not amused.
Dawn Perry, Abigail Kuffler wrote on Twitter, isn't Jewish.
Now, you will say, correctly, if you're not on the left, so what?
A non-Jew wrote about a Jewish pastry?
So what?
But, this Abigail Koffler is on the left.
There's no such thing as, so what?
Perry's husband, That's Don Perry's husband, Koffler added, had been forced out of his job at Condé Nast last year based on accusations of racial bias.
Therefore, what?
First of all, racial bias means nothing today.
We don't even know what it means, right?
Correct.
But let's say he was.
So what does that have to do with her writing about Hamantaschen?
Above all, Koffler objected.
Traditional food, quote, traditional foods do not automatically need to be updated, especially by someone who does not come from that tradition.
Non-Jews do not write about commentation, or gefilte fish for that matter.

The President of the United States, the President of the United States, was calling top aides to lie about nursing home deaths because he was afraid that Donald Trump was going to tweet about it, and afraid that the Donald Trump DOJ was going to investigate him for various crimes, failing to report suppressing information.
Jen Psaki, the press secretary, was asked whether or not Cuomo still represents the gold standard, because at one point, Joe Biden said the way Andrew Cuomo was handling the coronavirus reflected the gold standard.
All right, but Jen, my question was, does President Biden still believe that Andrew Cuomo is the gold standard, represents the gold standard on leadership during this pandemic?
Just a yes or no.
Well, John, the president...
The president—well, it doesn't always have to be a yes or no answer, John.
I think the president is focused on his goal, his objectives as president of the United States.
He's going to continue to work with Governor Cuomo, just like he'll continue to work with governors across the country.
And I'm not here to give new labels or names from the president.
I'm here to communicate with you about what our focuses are and what his objectives are as president.
Can you imagine if this were a Republican governor who ordered COVID Recovering elderly patients into nursing homes, a population acutely vulnerable to the virus, and then pressured top aides to lie about it, pressured one politician, a fellow Democrat, and told that politician his career would be destroyed if he didn't alter the numbers.
They crucify him.
Absolutely crucify him.

Well, look, the people of Texas are focused on coming out of these storms, which we have now, and now repairing and rebuilding.

We had two winter storms, one after the other hit Texas.
And the combination of that caused the electrical grid to go down, caused essentially them to have to force a blackout for about 4 million Texans.
We've cut off power many for several days.
The idea that we couldn't keep our lights on, that we couldn't keep our power on is frustrating.
It's infuriating.
And I think where a lot of Texans are now is focused on making sure this doesn't happen again.
You know, the number of Texans who had their pipes freeze and so had damage to their house, so they're in the process of repairing and rebuilding.

One of the top Google results...
This piece written by a non-Jew called How to Make Hamentaschen Actually Good.
Who published it?
I think you can guess.
She writes that a non-Jew has written an article on making good Hamentaschen?
And that's objectionable?
These people are racist.
Do you understand?
Why on God's earth would a non-Jew not write an article on a Jewish pastry?
What makes a Jew one iota more capable of writing a good article on hamantaschen fillings?
You think I could?
I'm a Jew.
I can't write an article on hamantaschen fillings.
I know nothing, nothing about it.
So what does that mean?
So if a Gentile, so 99.9% of humanity can't write about hamantashen?
The left has made this woman, Kuffler, a fool.
Is she not embarrassed by her tweet?
She's not.
I'm sure she's not.
Bless Brett Stephens for bringing it to light.

But you have to understand, it's much worse than that.

It's comments of decades on food.
Get it?
Within hours of Koffler's tweets, Bon Appetit responded with an editor's note atop the article.
It is now renamed Five Steps to Really Good Hamantaschen.
As opposed to the original title, How to Make...
Actually good hamantashen.
I guess, what was wrong with that first...
By the way, most hamantashen are tasteless, in my opinion.
Just for the record, it's mostly hardened dough, which is like a Chinese fortune cookie.
I don't enjoy that either.
The filling is usually tasty.
How could it not be?
What's wrong with jam or whatever the filling is made?
This is what Bon Appetit wrote.
The original version of this article included language that was insensitive toward Jewish food traditions and does not align with our brand's standards, the editor wrote.
What are Jewish food traditions?
How could you be insensitive to Jewish food traditions?
Adam Carolla, when I gave him a big bottle of gefilte fish, I asked him how he liked it.
Very few non-Jews have eaten gefilte fish.

Now, I thought that was hilarious.
Did he insult Jewish?
Yes, he did.

Hello.
If you've called, stay on.
I want to take some calls on the national crisis in non-Jews commenting on Hamantaschen.
I want to thank the left for bringing our attention to this anti-Semitic outbreak of...
That appeared in Bon Appetit.
It shows you how little anti-Semitism there is in the country that that is declared anti-Semitic.
Just as how little racism there is that we declare all of these things that are declared white supremacist.
A not widely commented major decision of the Supreme Court Just took place.
It decided not to hear election cases, and the title in the Heritage's Daily Signal is Supreme Court's decision not to hear elections cases could have serious repercussions.
One of the authors of the piece is a man I've had on before, Hans von Spaukowski, and with his permission, I will call him Hans.
And welcome back to the show.
Hey guys, thanks for having me.
Yeah, please call me Hans.
Much easier.
First, tell my listeners what the Supreme Court decided not to hear.
Well, this has been wrongly categorized as a case supposedly about the election fraud that might have occurred in Pennsylvania.
That's not what it was about.
What this case was about was the fact that in Pennsylvania, the state law said absentee ballots after it was received by the end of Election Day.
Instead, the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania, with the connivance of the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court, which is controlled by Democrats, said, well, we're just going to ignore state law, and we will accept and count as ballot all absentee ballots received within three days of Election Day.
That was the issue, because what happened was the Republican-controlled legislature and others sued, saying, look, a state official can't simply ignore state law, because the Constitution says it is state legislatures specifically, not state governments, but state legislatures, that have the power to set the rules for federal elections.
This case came up before the election.
The court put off, make the decision on it.
What happened on Monday was the majority unfortunately said, well, the case is now moot.
We're not going to hear it.
That was their reasoning that I don't understand that.
Why isn't everything that happened in the past moot?
Why isn't a murder case moot?
The person is dead.
Well, in fact, I think they are completely and totally wrong.
And that's, in fact, what the three dissenters said.
The dissenting justices who said, "We really need to take this case," were, of course, Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Alito, joined by Justice Gorsuch.
And Justice Thomas wrote a blistering dissent about this.
And in particular, look, the legal doctrine...
On whether a case is moot or not.
In other words, there's no reason now to make a decision that the matter is over.
You don't consider it moot if what happened is capable of repetition and evading review.
And that exactly describes the situation that happened in Pennsylvania and, in fact, why this decision is so dangerous.
Because it gives a green light now to government officials in future elections Like secretaries of state or governors or state judges to say, oh, you know, that state law, for example, that requires an ID when you go vote, I really don't like that.
And I think it'll help the candidates of my political party if I just override that law.
And this Supreme Court decision, by refusing to take this case, basically says, yeah, go ahead and do that.
We may not have time.
I'll carry you over.
But what I'm not clear on is why the Supreme Court of the United States has jurisdiction over a state ruling.
Is that a wrong question?
No, no.
It's a correct question.
The reason is that...
What the state court and the Secretary of State did violated the U.S. Constitution.
Okay, explain that as soon as we get back.
Okay, that's what I needed to hear.

NerveRenew.com Republicans would do well to stop fighting among themselves.
Henry John Temple, Lord Palmerston, was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the American Civil War.
He celebrated for saying many memorable things about politics, including his remark about an up-and-coming politician nearly 50 years his junior, the conservative Robert Cecil.
Beware of that young man, Palmerston said.
He possesses one of the secrets of success, for instead of defending himself and his cause, he attacks the other side.
The GOP ought to ponder that observation as it considers its course as the loyal opposition.
For all the talk about splits within the respective parties, the sharpest, deepest divide remains between the two parties.
The GOP ought to attack the other side, not themselves.
While in the minority, Republicans should attack the points of difference, drawing distinctions with Democrats and not with each other.

Donald Trump understood that at a visceral level, at a level of intuition.
He is the most intuitive individual I have ever met in terms of understanding somebody else and just understanding what is right, what needs to be done, what is broken, or what has to be fixed.
And what do we have on the other side?
We have an elite.
That lives solely for power, corruption and grift.
To make themselves richer and to stay in power.
Irrespective of the cost for those that put them there.
Allied to that crusty old elite is a new, dangerous, Dangerous political actor.
The AOC... Did
I end the last segment with a weird comment?
Did it sound like I didn't know why I was keeping my guest on?
Yeah, it sounded that way, but it's obviously...
That's a first.
If that is the case, I wish to say to Hans, someone I deeply trust says that's what it sounded like.
No, no, I don't think so.
All right, anyway, let me just reintroduce you.
You're with the Heritage Foundation.
You wrote a piece about why this is a very bad thing that the Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
Was it specifically Pennsylvania?
Yes, it was.
It was specifically Pennsylvania.
Two different cases that had been appealed.
What were they?
Pennsylvania and what?
No, it was just Pennsylvania.
Oh, they were both Pennsylvania.
Okay, so I ask you, if the Pennsylvania Supreme Court says, you, the Secretary of State, can change election law, even though the Constitution of Pennsylvania says only the legislature may, why does that go to the Supreme Court?
Well, I thought the...
Pennsylvania Constitution is the U.S. Constitution.
The reason is there's two different what are called the election clauses in the U.S. Constitution that govern congressional elections and presidential elections.
And those provisions give the power to set the rules for those elections.
Specifically, it says, to the state legislatures.
In other words, it's not the state government in general.
Only the state legislature has the power.
To set the rules.
So, look, if the state legislature in Pennsylvania, if they on their own had decided to change the law to say, yeah, we'll accept absentee ballots for three days after Election Day, they could do that, and it wouldn't be a federal case.
But the issue here is the state legislature had already set the law, and the law was absentee ballots have to come in by the end of Election Day.
And instead, it was the Secretary of State...
And the state court that said, oh, well, we're just going to break the law, ignore the law, and we're going to count ballots that come in after Election Day.
That, I think, clearly violated the U.S. Constitution, and that's why the court should have taken the case.
Because, like I said, it...
What was the reasoning of the majority?
Well, they didn't give a reason other than one paragraph saying, well, the issue is now moot.
The election's over.
We don't need to decide this.
Are you, politically speaking, are you surprised with regards to any of the justices?
I was shocked.
I was shocked because the only three who dissented from this, like I said, were Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas.
The two newest justices.
The conservatives worked so hard to get on the court because we wanted folks who would actually enforce the Constitution, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
They weren't part of the dissent.
They joined with the Chief Justice and the Liberal Justices to say, we're not going to hear the case.
I was just shocked at that.
I couldn't believe it.
It does seem that it's a crapshoot appointing a conservative to the Supreme Court.
Unfortunately, you're absolutely right.
I don't understand why it's moot, and I don't understand, now that you've explained it, how it could not possibly be a legitimate case for the Supreme Court to take.
By the way, does this apply only to national bodies like the President, Senate, and House?
The rule applies to congressional elections and presidential elections that state legislatures set the rules.
Well, look, you're right.
Justice Thomas agreed with you.
In fact, he says at the end of his dissent, he's wondering what the court's waiting for.
They failed to settle this dispute before the election.
To provide clear rules, and now the court's failing again to provide clear rules for future elections.
It's a green light to every Democratic governor to have his Secretary of State change the rules of elections.
Yes, that is exactly right, and that's why it is just so, like I said, dangerous and so foolish for the court to have not taken the case, and frankly overruled.
What the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court did.
Alright, so one final question.
Let us say they took the case and overruled.
What would happen then?
Would it invalidate the Pennsylvania results?
No, it would not have, because as Justice Thomas pointed out, the number of absentee ballots received after Election Day So Barron and Kavanaugh did not even have a political reason not to take it?
I don't know.
Like I said, I just can't understand it.
I really don't see any political purposes in not taking the case.
Well, my friend, I have a lot of guests.
You're one of the clearest.
I thank you very much.
Thanks for having me, Dennis.
Pleasure.
The great perk of my work is I want to talk to somebody, I talk to them, I get it clear.

That's the irony.
Okay, everybody, let's go to some of your calls.

The word Trump doesn't come out of his mouth.
But he does acknowledge it was the administration.
And Americans can understand it was due to President Trump's administration.
That wasn't the Biden administration.
In fact, somebody even asked Jen Psaki yesterday about the How many thousand deaths since he took office?
I think it's 100,000 deaths since Biden has been president.
Oh, she couldn't believe that question.
How dare you blame us for 100,000 deaths?
And yet, they have no problem blaming Trump for the deaths on his watch.
So I don't know about you, but I'm a little bit grateful to Dr. Francis Collins for acknowledging Something that the Biden administration refuses to do.
And that is Operation Warp Speed is stunning, is breathtaking, is epic, and it was just as Trump promised.

Unemployment is falling.
You wouldn't know it by the news.
I'll tell you why.
Because this good news is happening so quickly.
After the new administration, it cannot be attributed to anything the new administration has done.
It therefore must be a consequence of what the old administration did.
They can't give Trump credit for anything.
So it can't be that Trump was right, that we ought not shut down the economy.
Trump was right.
These experts are stunned.
And it turns out it doesn't matter what the state did, whether there was a draconian shutdown like California, which brake-slammed our economy, Or whether the state more or less kept open like Florida.
The numbers are about the same.
In fact, they're better in Florida when you consider the average age of a Floridian is older than the average age of other states.
So really, Florida did better.
This does not fit the script.
And now that we're tossing around numbers like 1.9 trillion like nickels, the media do not want the news to be so good.
That there will be energy not to pass this $1.9 trillion bill that's full of pork.
So for all those reasons, the media has a vested interest in making things sound worse, in making the coronavirus news, good news, put on the back burner, so they gin up more energy, more anxiety.
Hi, everybody.
All right.
So I can report this.
You're seeing this on a legitimate site, Associated Press.
Mr. Potato Head will no longer be Mr. Potato Head.
He will be gender neutral.
I told you, boredom, secularism, and affluence, those make leftism possible.
This is a cause.
You understand that people actually invest time and effort and believe that Mr. Potato Head is injurious to society.
Did you hear that?
Mr. Potato Head is now Potato Head.
They didn't want to give him a gender.

Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
I just want to preface this by saying I try to listen to you every day.
I agree with 99% of everything you say.
I consider you my rabbi.
Thank you.
But I was compelled to call when you said that the hamantaschen is a terrible cookie.
And respectfully, I think it's because you're doing it wrong.
The homantashen is beautiful in that when you dip it in coffee, it becomes sublime.
It changes.
It's transformed.
It becomes a religious experience, if I may say.
Let me say, this is one of the most important calls in my radio career.
A defense of the indefensible.
By Rob.
By Rob.
But you yourself acknowledge that it needs to be dipped in coffee.
Oh, in its original form.
That's the giveaway.
That means that a hamantashen on its own does nothing for you.
Yes, yes, but it takes minimal effort.
Yes, yes, yes.
That was the key.
That was the key.
Rob, you made my day.
I'm telling you, the choice on this issue with Bon Appetit magazine and website is either you laugh or you cry.
I always prefer to laugh than to cry, but there are reasons to cry.
A non-Jew, according to Bon Appetit, and because of cultural appropriation issues, I guess, a non-Jew may not comment on how to bake a better hamantashen, the Purim pastry.

There are some nasty things being pushed by the BLM movement, and you don't hear about that.
Again, these really ignorant...
Usually white corporations, they just want to throw money.
It's like a shakedown.
So we're taking part of their narrative, the Black part, and the matter part, and we're saying every single Black life matters to me.
Does every single Black life matter to you?
So that's a different kind of a thing when you talk to a Black Lives Matter person who's, Black Lives Matter, bro!
Black Lives Matter!
And you say, look, every single Black life matters to me.
Does it matter to you?
You know, like, uh, they know it's a trick, right?
And then I go on to explain, from conception to the grave, every Black life matters to us.
Does that matter to you?
Then they're caught in a conundrum.
We're taking the momentum of their messaging.
We're shifting it.
We're reframing the narrative to something that they cannot accept because fundamentally what we're exposing is that they are a political movement.
It's not principle.
It's not a justice movement by any stretch.
It's a political movement.
And so what we have to expose is that this is a leftist, progressive, Marxist...

For all the talk about splits within the respective parties, the sharpest, deepest divide remains between the two parties.

Brad Roffensperger, the Secretary of State of Georgia, alongside the Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, who's now up for re-election, they signed what is called a consent decree.
Now, this is very confusing.
It can be very confusing because there's another consent decree.
That was approved many, many years ago.
And so the real frustrating part of all of this is that there was a consent decree that was put forward in 1982. In 1982, I'm reading from Politico, the Democrat National Committee filed a lawsuit charging the Republican National Committee with seeking to discourage black voters.
From voting through targeted mailings, warning about penalties for violating election laws and by posting armed, off-duty law enforcement officers at the polls in minority neighborhoods.
To extend the decree, the Democrat National Committee needed to show that the Republican National Committee violated the terms of the pact.
The Democrats pointed to a series of incidents from the 2016 election in which they alleged people who claimed or appeared to be working for the RNC were engaged in poll watching.
Instead, Vasquez, an Obama-appointed judge, this is back in 2018, lifted the decree.
said you're free now, RNC, to do election integrity efforts anywhere you want, especially in Georgia in the South.

Hi, everybody. everybody.
Hi, everybody.
Dennis Prager here.
I want to get to your calls.
I want to get to 20 other subjects.
I want to do a nine-hour marathon.
I already announced that in the beginning of the show.
And I asked my producer if he would stay with me for nine hours, and he said yes.
But it was almost a rhetorical question because he is nicknamed the Living Martyr.
The poisoning of big companies in the United States.
And I gave you the example of Coca-Cola.
I mentioned it today.
Coca-Cola telling people how their whiteness is essentially criminal.
I just reported to you that the makers of Mr. Potato Head have dropped Mr. That's right.
They don't want to give Potato Head a gender.
And businesses in general becoming crazed.
This is all Orwellian craziness.
So there's a new book out, The Dictatorship of Woke Capital.
I think the title is perfect.
The Dictatorship of Woke Capital.
How did big business go into this world?
How Political Correctness Captured Big Business is the subtitle.
The author is Stephen Sukup, S-O-U-K-U-P. And he is with the Political Forum, an independent research provider.
And welcome to the Dennis Prager Show, Stephen Sukup.
Thank you very much for having me, Dennis.
Was I right in giving those examples as what you cover in your book?
Well, those examples certainly play a part in what we call woke capital.
But the bigger picture is much more serious and much more dire than these examples probably led on.
This is a very serious issue and very dangerous.
The road down which a lot of the big players in big business are going.
Go ahead.
What is more dire than what I described?
Well, what we have...
Woke Capital, the definition that I use for Woke Capital is a top-down, anti-democratic strategy employed by some of the biggest and most important names in business.
To change the way business operates, the way capitalism operates, and the relationship between the citizen and the state.
What we have is a collection of very large businesses, and in particular large asset management firms that control an awful lot of money, that push these businesses, that are making changes to the way business operates.
Not only to push them in a direction that is contrary to what the traditional direction of business should be, but also to do so while going around the will of the American people.
The first example that I use in the book, and the reason I use it is because it was sort of the awakening moment for the political right as to what was going on, was what happened in Georgia two years ago.
When the elected representatives of the people in this center-right state passed the fetal heartbeat law, and the elected governor in this center-right state signed this fetal heartbeat law, and big corporations led by the entertainment industry, and particularly Disney, went nuts.
They said there's absolutely no way that we're going to tolerate this.
There's absolutely no way.
That we're going to continue to do business in Georgia.
And if you know anything at all about Georgia and the entertainment industry, you know that they've spent the last two decades.
Georgia has courting the entertainment industry.
And some 95,000 to 100,000 normal average Georgians have jobs in the entertainment industry.
So when Bob Iger said, I don't believe that Disney can do business in Georgia anymore, Because of this abortion bill, what he was saying is, you 100,000 Georgians who work in the entertainment industry are going to lose your jobs because I don't approve of the politics of your state.
And so that was a great awakening moment for the political right, and especially for Senator Tom Cotton, who took to the floor of the Senate, to just rail against these companies.
And, you know, the dictatorship of low capital is, in fact...
derived from that speech, from his rant against these companies that are using their financial power to alter the political direction of the country.
Good.
That's a very good example.
I recall it well.
So a question.
What is animating this since it would not seem to be even related to profits? - Thanks.
So, what is animating all of these businesses?
The thing that is animating it primarily is the same thing that animates most of what we see as woke culture throughout the West.
You know, we get the woke culture in entertainment.
We get the woke culture in our media.
We get the woke culture especially in education.
And that's because the cultural left has made a concerted effort over a period of a century or so to take what Rudy Dusky called the Long March for the Institutions and to take over these institutions.
Business is only recently starting to show signs of this decline in the cultural Marxism, but business was the last to fall.
The cultural left captured education.
It was only a matter of time before they captured business.
So, this is purely speculative, but I think about it.
Do you think Jeff Bezos had any political views 20 years ago?
No, I don't think he did.
That's what I think.
That's what I think.
Yeah, go on.
I think he's probably developed political views.
There's nothing in it for you to go rightward.
Very few people want to be hated.
Yeah, and that's the case with the finance world, Wall Street, as well.
Generally, people associate Wall Street with fat cat Republicans.
But particularly over the last 30 years, Wall Street has gone exactly the opposite direction because they didn't want to be seen in the same light as the yokels out in the middle of the country that they disliked so much.
And so they embraced this cultural leftism in order to feel more socially comfortable, and it stuck.
Big business leader not left today?
A few of them, but...
Can you name any?
Well, the companies that I'm thinking, you know, you've got the Kochs, you've got Goya, you've got...
Chick-fil-A. But the thing that differentiates them from all of the rest of the companies that we're talking about is they're all privately held.
Exactly.
They're not publicly owned.
And by the way, Chick-fil-A has defected.
Well, yes.
I know they've been making the move slowly but surely.
But yeah, you're correct.
The difference is that these are privately held companies, and they're not therefore subjected to the same pressures.
Well, I mean, if you get right-wing enough, like Mike Lindell, then you are dropped by every major retailer.
He's lost $65 million because he doesn't think the election was valid.
To which my response is, so what?
If he's wrong, so what?
Why can't you believe?
did he do anything to undermine Joe Biden becoming president?
A man named Joe Biden is president, irrespective of what Mike Lindell thinks of the election.
Why can't he sell his product at Bed Bath & Beyond?
Yeah, that's an excellent question.
And no, he didn't undermine anything.
The left would like us to believe that he did, and that he is part of this incitement of violence.
But, you know...
That's more propaganda than anything else.
So again, folks, I'm speaking to Stephen Sukup.
The book is The Dictatorship of Woke Capital, How Political Correctness Captured Big Business.
Sir, you did a service to the country writing this book.

Are the people in the Trump administration and President Trump himself, who spearheaded Operation Warp Speed.
Getting these vaccines as quickly as we've gotten them is stunning.
And thankfully, that's something that the head of the NIH, Dr. Francis Collins, is willing to acknowledge.
One of the few who is, apparently.
This is what he said to Axios on HBO this week.
I'd like to talk a little bit more of the Trump administration.
What did they get right?
The Operation Warp Speed, for which I give a great deal of credit to Secretary Azar, was an effort that many of us were not initially convinced was going to be necessary.
It was thought about as a Manhattan project.
Those words were used sometimes to describe what needed to happen.
In order to get all parts of the government together...
In an unprecedented way to test up to six vaccines in rigorous trials and to do this at-risk manufacturing so that if any of those trials happen to work, you would already have doses ready to go into arms.
That would not be the way things are traditionally done.
The effort and the recruitment of Dr. Monsef Slaoui was an incredibly important step forward that the administration deserves credit for, because that did motivate a lot of actions, a lot of coordination.
The fact that we in December had not one, but two vaccines that had gone through trials of at least 30,000 participants and had been judged safe and effective by a very rigorous and very public FDA process is just breathtaking.
That that got done in 11 months from when we first knew about this virus is at least five years faster than it's ever been done before. - You know, of course he dances around.
He doesn't want to give credit.
The word Trump doesn't come out of his mouth.
But he does acknowledge it was the administration.

You know, by the way, that I told you that Mr. Potato Head, just today, Hasbro has rebranded him Gender Neutral Potato Head.
I don't quite understand what is wrong with his being mister.
Even transgender acknowledge that there's gender.
A transgender man, that is a born female who has become male, doesn't deny that there are males.
So I don't know who this is.
Who is this appealing to?
So there's another story.
There's a bill in California, believe it or not, there is a bill to force stores not to have boys' toys or girls' toys departments.
I don't know if they would allow clothing, but I know it's a ban on...
Do you understand?
This is what animates people.
The left is composed of empty people who need a cause.
That is all this is.
The country is being destroyed by the bored and the empty and the shallow who need meaning because the need for meaning is the greatest need in humans after the need for food.
That's right.
That was my E equals MC squared line.
Emptiness equals major causes squared.
Thank you for reminding me.
That's correct.
Wow.
No Mr. Potato Head, no boys and girls toys.
Think about the importance.
Listen to what they'll be able to tell their children and grandchildren, what they did with their lives.
We made sure that...
Mr. Potato Head was gender neutral.
Grandpa, that is so impressive.
I am so proud of you.
The thought that my grandmother fought for the de-genderization of Mr. Potato Head.
That there wouldn't be a girls' toys or boys' toys area in Walmart.
Wow.
Talk about sacrifice for your society.
That's really up there.
That's what it is.
It's all boredom.
People need meaning.
And if you don't get it from good stuff, what did people get meaning 75 years ago?
What gave my father and mother meaning?
Let me use them as an example.
That's the World War II generation.
What gave them meaning?
They would have found these things absurd and worse, as I do.
So, first of all, they did not get meaning from transforming society.
They felt blessed to be an American, in their case, Jews.
Even though my father's senior class thesis at City College of New York was on anti-Semitism in America, He raised my brother and me to believe that we were the luckiest Jews in history to be American Jews.
He was right.
As it happens, he was right.
And I taught Jewish history at Brooklyn College, written books on it.
I know of what I speak.
So what gave my parents meaning?
It's a really important question.
What gave them meaning was religion and family.
That's what gave them meaning.
They're not the only things, but they were the biggest things.
Religion gave my parents community, gave them God, gave them a Bible, gave them prayer, gave them weekly synagogue.
My mother was a member of the women's club or whatever it was called at the synagogue.
My father was president of the synagogue.
And that was a very rich part of their life.
And, of course, family and friends.
But remember, who are the people that tell us that America is racist, that America is sexist and homophobic and all?
These people don't get meaning from the same things my parents got meaning from, or that I get meaning from.
So they need this.
They certainly don't get it from religion.
They have contempt for religion.
No videos that we put up at PragerU and all of them get attacked.
Virtually everyone gets attacked.
But none get as mocked and attacked as the ones defending God's existence or the need for, let's say, the Ten Commandments.
One of the features of the left, aside from boredom, is arrogance.
The arrogance is mind-boggling.
We know what is right and we will shove it down your throats.
They are exactly what the serpent warned in the Garden of Eden.
You want to be gods.
That's what it was.
People, that's a human desire.
What is a god?
The one who determines right and wrong.
That is why it is so offensive to the left.
When we who are religious tell them God determines right and wrong, that is the worst thing you could say.
It's like saying the N-word to say that God is the source of right and wrong.
You are on that level of despicability as far as the left is concerned.
So I'm explaining to you the origins of the battles in this country.
These are...
Bored souls.
And you know that if your child is on the left.
You know that's exactly what your child is.
There's nothing in their soul.
It's like if you opened up their soul, you would see a black hole.
Or perhaps that is racist.
So you would see a white hole.
That's racist too.
You would see a hole.
A gender-free hole.
I did it.
You might even see Potato Head if you open them up.
Because between Potato Head and most college graduates, there is no difference in levels of wisdom.
They have the same.
Instead of a BA, they should give people a Potato Head.
All right, I'm going to take your calls.

Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berger.
It is Donald Trump's party.
What have we been saying here?
It's the only measure that matters.
Conservatism has changed.
I know populism is a dirty word on the left.
It's used as a pejorative.
But in 2016, we saw politics change.
First, it was the UK with Brexit, then various other nations around the world, as disparate as Australia, India, and Austria.
But it came here, and a man who'd never run for public office before decided to, and he ran for the highest office in the land.
And what was his message?
Had nothing to do with the existing tropes of conservative politics.
It was about America being great once more.
A recognition that both sides of the political aisle had failed the American people.
you Irrespective of their skin color, what they did for a living, where they came from, whether they had an accent.
Whether they were part of some specific class or whether they could be divided into the categories the left loves to divide us into.
No.
Simply, had they been forgotten?
Had their interests, their goals, their wishes been trampled upon?
Had their jobs been exported to China?
Had those that they had elected into office promised them one thing and then given them another or delivered absolutely nothing at all.
And he makes the argument, and we're going to play the clip here in just a second, that the current revolution that we are living through, which we are living through a revolution, is unlike anything that Americans are used to.
Instead of living through a revolution that is the workers or the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, it's the powerful versus the workers.
This revolution that we are living through, make no mistake, we are living through a revolution.
It hasn't hit critical mass yet, but if you look carefully and closely, it's there.
But this particular moment, which is around the idea of social justice and racial justice, has actually been engineered by people with a very specific agenda.
This is not an organic revolution.
This is not something that is authentic.
Instead, It's as if this was built in a laboratory, as if this was designed by an architect to try and accomplish a goal.
What is that goal?
Why are so few people talking about it?
Let's listen to what Tucker Carlson had to say last evening.
Play tape.
Now, the first and most obvious question we might have asked at the time, and no one ever asked this, but it's clear.
Why was a 46-year-old man reduced to passing badly counterfeited $20 bills in a convenience store in the middle of the day?
George Floyd was unemployed.
Why was he unemployed?
How many other people like George Floyd are unemployed, and why?
Now, that would have been an interesting conversation.
It might have been a fruitful conversation for all of us, but we didn't have it and we didn't have it by design Keep up with what's trending and subscribe on YouTube today Trending now I'm I'm Dennis Prager
Thank you.
And it is a phenomenon.
We're living through the vindication for what?
Whatever it's worth to you, I admit it sounds self-preoccupied.
I'm not self-preoccupied.
I don't take myself nearly as seriously as I take my values, but everything that I have written and spoken of in the last three decades is vindicated.
The irrationality that comes from the secular world is even beyond what I thought.
The broken moral compass of the left, which I saw with communism, if you can't hate communism, then you can't love people.
They go together.
It is not possible to say you love people and not hate communism.
Could you say that I love people but I don't hate Nazism?
No.
Tell me the difference.
My column this week, by the way, is on communism.
You should read it.
It's the first time in my life I actually described tortures.
And I debated and debated and I thought, I can't write an article on communism without saying what routinely was done.
I'll just tell you one.
I'm reading a book on the Vietnam War.
The man thought the war was wrong.
Or a mistake, I should say.
Max Hastings.
It's Sir Max Hastings.
He's been knighted, a major British historian.
A gigantic book on the Vietnam War.
And he describes how routinely, that's the key word here, because there are always bad apples in every group.
But routinely, when communists would get into a village, in order to frighten and terrorize the villagers to support, The guerrillas, the communist guerrillas, they would bury leaders of the community alive.
This was a routine practice of the Vietnamese communists.
While the despicable morons of my generation were chanting Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh, he was burying fellow Vietnamese alive.
Are there five people who chanted Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh who have said, I apologize?
Even though, you know, they can't apologize to the buried alive, but just to say, you know, I was really wrong.
Are there five people?
I wonder if there are five.
So now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Spokane, Washington.
Mike.
Hello, Mike.
Dennis Prager.
Yeah, hi, Dennis.
I know that you've always been, you've always enjoyed Christmas music, and you know some of the best Christmas music of the last hundred years has been written by, you know, white writers that were Jewish, using the same logic with Bon Appetit and then having to go back and rewrite other Jewish recipes.
Does that mean now we have to go ahead and rewrite all the Christmas songs?
Well, no.
Here's how leftist logic would work.
If non-Jews cannot comment on hamantaschen, the Jewish pastry of the holiday Purim, then Jews should not be able to comment on Christmas.
Yeah.
Right?
I mean, I don't know if this is cultural appropriation.
There you go.
So, you know, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, bye-bye.
I mean, half...
They did the New York Times, of all places, a few years ago, actually made a list of the most popular...
Half of the most popular Christmas songs were written by Jews.
Yep.
Yeah, you're right, my friend.
That's right.
It's really...
You're going to have to go back...
By the way, what is...
Possibly wrong with cultural appropriation.
This is what I mean, that they're empty.
They're truly empty.
It's a beautiful thing, cultural appropriation.
It's beautiful, not ugly.
So can American, can non-Italians make pizza?
No, no, why is that not a perfect question?
By the way, as it happens, I prefer American pizza to Italian pizza.
And I'll bet a lot of Italians do.
So what?
A non-Jew can't make better gefilte fish?
Do you understand?
The reason that they have entered the realm of absurdity is America is in such good shape morally that they need to invent immoralities to fight.
These are children fighting make-up monsters.
That's what the left is.
They make up Because there aren't real enemies to fight.
The country is that decent.
Why do you think there are so many hoaxes about racism?
Because real racism is so rare, they have to make up hoaxes.
Okay, everybody.
I wish Relief Factor could be taken on a national level.
I do.
I mean, for literal reason, because it would relieve so many people of pain.
But I've done my part to spread the word, and I admit, I do admit, I don't want to offend anybody, if you have $19.95 plus shipping, why you wouldn't try this for three weeks?
They're honest enough to say, if it doesn't work in three weeks, it doesn't work.
So, hey.
Right?
What did the president say?
What the hell do you have to lose?
What the hell do you have to lose?
Not trying Relief Factor?
I mean, if you're blessed not to have any of the pains, great.

The GOP ought to ponder that observation as it considers its course as the loyal opposition.
For all the talk about splits within the respective parties, the sharpest, deepest divide remains between the two parties.
The GOP ought to attack the other side, not themselves.
While in the minority, Republicans should attack the points of difference, drawing distinctions with Democrats and not with each other.
Unless, of course, they'd like to remain in the minority.

If we empower them by giving them a measure of our sovereignty, if they fail to be faithful to our vision,
our objectives, then they no longer represent us and we can recall them or we can replace them peacefully or otherwise if they decide that the power is more important than the promise that they are meant to keep to us.
Donald Trump understood that at a visceral level, at a level of intuition.
He is the most intuitive individual I have ever met in terms of understanding somebody else and just understanding what is right, what needs to be done, what is broken, what has to be fixed.
And what do we have on the other side?
We have an elite.
That lives solely for power, corruption and grift.
To make themselves richer and to stay in power.
Irrespective of the cost for those that put them there.
Allied to that crusty old elite is a new, dangerous, dangerous political actor.
All right, y'all, Dennis Dennis Prager here.
I'm looking for something that I saw in the Wall Street Journal.
And needless to say, you see, here's my theory.
If you think it's the last page of their stack, so you go to the last page, and it turns out to be the third page.
It's always the opposite of where you look.
Anyway, so listen to this.
Leon Kass is a professor of social thought at the University of Chicago.
He's very well known among intellectuals.
And he actually just wrote a book on the Book of Exodus.
Yale University Press published it.
So it's kosher to the left.
But it's not a left-wing book.
I just want to make that clear.
He wrote a long essay for the Wall Street Journal, adapted from his book.
I just want to read you this.
Americans are not theocrats, but loyal yet worried members of a modern liberal democracy.
We have much to learn from the book of Exodus.
As Rousseau argued 250 years ago, this timeless book remains an indispensable resource for thinking about the good life and the good community, freedom, law, justice, and holiness, and the meaning and purpose justice, and holiness, and the meaning and purpose of our existence.
It deserves our most serious attention.
See, I have worried...
That's the reason I'm writing my Rational Bible series.
Volume 3 is coming out later this year.
You can pre-order it.
Deuteronomy, the fifth of the five books, but I didn't go in order.
I've done this actually on the air, I'd say two or three times in my 30 years.
Call me up, and if it's not the Bible, where do you get your wisdom from?
And most people say from life experience.
So you realize what...
People are saying, and of course you can get some wisdom from life experience.
It's not deniable.
But number one, since you have almost no life experience at 21, why do we give the vote to people at 18?
If the people who say that, oh, I get it from life experience, acknowledge that a large number of people have no wisdom who are voting.
Right?
If that's where wisdom comes from, life experience, then just as we say, what does the presidential candidate, Alan, have to be?
35 or 40?
I think 40. I think 35 is vice president.
But anyway, 35, I think 40. Then why shouldn't we have the voting start at 40?
If you're not wise enough to be president at 40, why are you wise enough to choose a president under 40?
So I've asked people, where do you get your wisdom from?
Wisdom is everything.
You can't be a good person without wisdom.
You cannot be.
You can have the kindest heart in the world.
It's irrelevant.
Truly irrelevant.
Wisdom is everything.
So, this is another person who acknowledges that.
I got my wisdom from the Bible.
I studied it in Hebrew half the day, and I studied secular subjects.
In English, the other half of the day, you have to be 35 for both.
Fine.
So that's where the voting should start, 35. Why not?
I mean, tell me why that, what's wrong with my logic?
Especially, the only people, maybe, you can argue the only people who should vote, have the vote before 35, are the people who have wisdom, not just from life experience.
By the way, if you said Shakespeare, I'll give you the vote.
I think Bible's best, but something other than you.
You can't get all your wisdom from you.
The world in which we live.
Yep.
As I warn you every time, when Christianity died in Europe, we got Nazism, Fascism, and Communism.
What are we going to get in America when Christianity dies?
Which it is dying.
Killed, by the way, as much by Christians as by secularists.
Just as Jews have been killing Judaism.
Just for the record, everybody.
Oh, God.
Oh, now they're having...
Did you see this?
They're having...
Hearings on closing down all conservative media.
Hearings in the United States Congress.
Wow.
Representative Bill Johnson, Republican Ohio, said that Democrat efforts to censor dissident media are, quote, eerily similar, unquote, to Communist China's on Wednesday during the House Committee hearing on...
Fanning the flames.
Disinformation and extremism in the media.
This is what they do.
The people who tell you men give birth say that the right wing is disinformation.
The people who say that you can't have a Gentile comment on hamantaschen are the people who talk about right wing disinformation.
Just two weeks ago, China's National Radio and Television Administration banned BBC World News from broadcasting in China.
This is from Representative Johnson, Republican.
Because it found BBC's reports, I quote, seriously violate broadcast guidelines including, and I quote again, the requirement that news should be truthful and fair and not harm China's national interests.
So I have to say, I am disappointed and seriously blown away.
By my House Democrat colleagues' letter to the broadcasters pressuring them to remove conservative news channels from their networks.
A letter that looks eerily similar to the statements released by the Communist Party of China when it banned the BBC. So this begs the question, does the American government have the authority to dictate what can and cannot be broadcast to the American people?
Yeah.
That we're even asking this question is a sign of our times.
This is Hugh Hewitt for townhall.com.
Republicans would do well to stop fighting among themselves.
Henry John Temple, Lord Palmerston was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the American Civil War.
He's celebrated for saying many memorable things about politics, including his remark about an up-and-coming politician nearly 50 years his junior, the conservative Robert Cecil.
Beware of that young man, Palmerston said.
He possesses one of the secrets of success, for instead of defending himself and his cause, he attacks the other side.
The GOP ought to ponder that observation as it considers its course as the loyal opposition.
For all the talk about splits within the respective parties, the sharpest, deepest divide remains between the two parties.
The GOP ought to attack the other side, not themselves.

Oh, wow!
The wow is, it's 55 minutes past the hour.
On many occasions I have noted that it's a good sign that I think the show flew by.
Hmm.
By the way, I opened up the show describing, I was off yesterday, and one of the things that I did was I spoke to my grandson's Fifth grade class in Miami via Zoom.
They sent me a picture of me on the big screen in the room.
It's really something.
And the kids, you know, sitting in there.
It's a religious school, so they attend.
They have not stopped schooling.
It's another example of the religious being the center of rationality in the United States.
And the more secular, the more irrational.
I must say, One service, and I never exaggerate, ever, but a major service the left has played and devoted to me is keeping me religious.
When I see the alternative, I realize there is no alternative.
The left is an alternative religion.
Always has been.
And when I see how vile, destructive, chaotic, and irrational it is, every day a new thing, something bizarre, and they accept it as rational.
Men menstruate, Mr. Potato Head needs to be gender neutral.
You can't teach that math has one correct answer.
That's white supremacy.
You know any religious people who believe this crap?
I don't.
Now, this is my theory.
If you take the Bible seriously, in the vast majority of cases, it's a vaccine against irrationality.
Just like there's a vaccine against COVID doesn't work for everybody, but for most.
I was vaccinated against sick, irrational thought by my immersion in the Bible until I was 18. That's the way it works.
The arrogance of people thinking, oh, we don't need any divine teaching in our children's lives.
We are their divinities.
Or even better, the experts.
Because the track record of experts, like Dr. Fauci, who wants us to wear masks for the indefinite future, has been so illustrious.
