	Thank you.
	You are blessed in every way here.
	Financially and economically.
	Socially.
	People get along with each other.
	Life is good.
	You have your state fair every year where people mingle of every background and every outlook on life.
	What is wrong?
	Something has to be awry to produce so many terrible human beings.
	And I don't know what it is.
	I come here.
	People are delightful.
	I mean, it's, you know, they just are.
	Even with masks on.
	Pleasure to see you.
	And I go, there's nothing to see.
	But I don't know the answer.
	Maybe it really, there is the, my equation might be accurate.
	Boredom plus secularism.
	Equals radicalism.
	It's so good life in the American Midwest, and the upper Midwest, like here, that people are straining for meaning.
	There's no challenge, and people want a challenge, so they invent one.
	America is racist.
	People who commit terrible crimes shouldn't be in prison.
	Anyway, you leave the Twin Cities and you get into, you know, you don't have to go that far.
	People are simply nice.
	Boredom plus secularism, my friends.
	Hey, Sean, what was E equals MC squared?
	I gave it a definition.
	This was my new one.
	Emptiness equals major causes squared.
	When you're empty, you make up major causes to fill up your emptiness.
	That's what Einstein meant with E equals MC squared.
	Emptiness.
	Leads to, equals, major causes squared.
	That's exactly right.
	Well, I have, I got a hero.
	The governor of Texas is my new hero.
	I like heroes.
	It's great to have heroes.
	We are resuming real life, Texans.
	That, I have to say, Given that I still cannot eat in a restaurant, you can eat in a restaurant in Minneapolis, as I did last night with my wife, and you cannot do that in California.
	You certainly can't do that in L.A. County.
	There is zero scientific basis.
	Zero.
	Do you understand?
	We're living...
	We're living the opposite of follow the science.
	It's follow the leftist.
	That's the truth.
	Follow the science?
	I'm all for it.
	So to my great joy, President Biden really lashed into the governors of Mississippi and Texas.
	He said they're Neanderthals.
	Now, I have to say something.
	What renders freedom Neanderthal?
	Even if you don't like the decision, why is it Neanderthal?
	That's really worth analyzing.
	Why did the President of the United States Say that it was Neanderthal to allow people to live a normal life a year after a virus spread in the country.
	So I thought about this, and I still don't have a perfect answer, because people choose their words, especially a president who had time to think this was not his spontaneous reaction to his wife.
	This is what he announced to the country.
	It's Neanderthal.
	So Neanderthal is primitive, correct?
	It's primitive.
	So this is, I think, part of the explanation.
	People on the left believe that they are on the moral arc of society.
	That if you don't have any non-left position, it's primitive.
	That's what they believe in their heart.
	There is no self-righteousness like leftist self-righteousness.
	There is none.
	I have been immersed with religious people and conservative people, liberal people.
	None of them have the self-righteousness of a leftist.
	They're prepared to put you away wherever they take power, to send you to a re-education camp at the very least.
	Because they're so certain that they are right.
	That's why it's Neanderthal.
	He doesn't know it's Neanderthal.
	He doesn't even know it won't work.
	The staggering fear is that it will work.
	That makes living in Texas or Mississippi even more...
	Florida, I have to throw in because Governor DeSantis has been ahead of the curve.
	It's been anti-Neanderthal for so long.
	But it does make living in a free state.
	Look, it's the Soviet states of America and the free states of America.
	All but legally, they have seceded from one another.
	Gavin Newsom and the governor of Texas, Governor Abbott, have nothing...
	In common.
	You understand?
	Nothing.
	They speak English, and they're both American citizens.
	That's it.
	And what do I have in common with the leftists?
	I think this country is a wonderful place.
	I don't believe that racism is pandemic, if you will.
	I think that the biggest racists in the country are on the left.
	The contempt for blacks.
	Oh, this was great.
	It reminds me of a great story.
	Last night, leaving the rental car place where I rented my car, I give you, when you rent your car, many of you know this, some of you do not, before you leave the premises in your car, In your rental car, you give your license to somebody who checks you out.
	Make sure you're not stealing one of their cars.
	Completely accurate description and a completely acceptable policy.
	Understandable policy.
	And it's a young black guy.
	Let's say he's 25. Looks at me, looks at the license.
	Ha!
	I thought I recognized you, he said to me.
	And he said, I love your videos.
	I go, thank you.
	Really, and I was.
	I was delighted to hear that.
	And then he said, and I really, I would have happily kissed the guy.
	I'm not brainwashed.
	Is that awesome?
	I'm not brainwashed.
	And then added something to the effect that...
	Blacks are used by the left.
	And, of course, that's exactly correct.
	Black, there is no racism in any numbers.
	I mean, there are Ku Klux Klaners hiding somewhere.
	But there's no racism in any numbers that compares to leftist racism.
	We will, we have such, this is the leftist view.
	We have such contempt for blacks.
	We will no longer demand correct answers in math from them.
	That is their policy.
	That is contempt.
	This 25-year-old black guy at National Rent-A-Car in Minneapolis knows that.

	A family was thrown off the plane by Frontier.
	The family claims it was because they wanted an 18-month-old mask.
	The Frontier claims it's because after multiple requests, the family would not wear This is the New York Times, New York Post, and many other places.
	Every other passenger that I read about...
	It doesn't mean every other passenger, but every other passenger that I read about said that they were masked the entire time.
	They were part of a Hasidic Jewish group, and all of them are seen...
	Wearing masks in the videos taken on the plane by people's smartphones.
	I think Frontier is an independent airline.
	And according to some, a reference was made to, ah, we really got the Jews, or something like that, amongst the...
	Amongst the people there, some of the crew actually clapped when they left.
	It's a troubling story.
	Unless Frontier is telling the complete truth, Frontier looks ugly.
	Trending now on the Larry O'Leary Show.
	My question is, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about systemic racism, and I mentioned one of your nuggets that actually...
	More white people, unarmed white people, are killed than black people.
	And you say, of course they are, because there's more white people in this country than black people.
	So what's the answer to that?
	I didn't know how to come back on that.
	Real simple.
	White people are what percentage of the population?
	Around 61%.
	What percentage of the homicides are committed by white people?
	50%.
	Meaning they commit, as a percentage of their population, less murders than blacks do at 13%.
	We commit almost half of the homicides at 13%.
	So at 13%, we're far, far more likely to be a...
	An offender and a victim of a homicide.
	A young black man is anywhere from 7 to 10 times more likely, Larry, to be the victim of a homicide almost always at the hands of another young black man.
	The leading cause of death for young white men, Larry, is accidents, like car accidents or pool drownings.
	The leading cause of death, preventable or non-preventable for young black men, homicide almost always at the hands of another black man.
	That is why the police are there.
	It is true that the police are two and a half times more likely to kill a black suspect.
	It's also true, as I said, that a young black suspect is seven or eight times more likely to be a victim of a homicide.
	That's why the cops are there.
	St. Louis is about 45% black.
	About 300 homicides last year.
	90% of them black on black.
	Baltimore, 65% black.
	About 400 homicides last year.
	90% of them black on black.
	Chicago, a third black, a third white, a third Hispanic.
	70% of the homicides black on black.

	Because I'm going to be there at this place, you're...
	Hello, everybody.
	I'm Dennis Prager, coming to you from Minneapolis, speaking in Wisconsin tonight.
	First lecture before a whole audience in a year.
	I would have lectured before an audience a year ago.
	We've lived a gigantic mistake.
	Colossal mistake, at least in terms of the welfare of the human race.
	But there are those undoubtedly who have benefited.
	And as I wrote about half a year ago, dress rehearsal for a police state.
	I never thought this way in my life.
	Never.
	America, a police state.
	And now I believe it could happen with the acceptance and Celebration of half the American people.
	The land of the free and the home of the brave is a concept believed in by a smaller and smaller number of Americans, many of whom don't even want that as the national anthem.
	Many of those who don't believe in it.
	I was celebrating Texas and Mississippi.
	I wish other states would do it.
	This notion that if one person dies because you did something, then the something is wrong is a new idea in history.
	New idea.
	You don't do anything good if someone might die.
	It's a social policy.
	So it doesn't matter how many people go on drugs, how many recovering addicts go back to drugs, how many suicides, how many kids get depressed, how much kids fall back in school, how much loneliness is increased, how much child abuse and spousal abuse and boyfriend-girlfriend abuse takes place.
	It doesn't matter.
	We might save a life.
	The immaturity of such thinking is mind-boggling.
	But who cares if they're immature?
	Save a life.
	The fraud who was the governor of New York has said that.
	Remember?
	I wonder if you still have that from the beginning a year ago, Sean, where Governor Cuomo of New York said, if we save everything I am doing, Saves one life.
	Of course, everything he's doing killed thousands.
	This is the irony of the statement.
	But people buy it.
	Everything I'm doing saves one life.
	Yeah.
	I'll be happy.
	That's right.
	That's it.
	That pablum, that immoral doctrine, it's an immoral doctrine.
	I always gave the example of speed limits.
	If you lower the speed limit from 55 or 65 to 45, you will save lives.
	So why don't we do it?
	Right?
	Save one life.
	You know how many lives would be saved if we banned automobiles and people only could take public transport?
	Or bicycle?
	Tens of thousands?
	I wonder.
	By the way, that was the thinking of the people behind prohibition.
	If we can only save one life, then it's all worth it.
	Why are liberals against prohibition?
	They have contempt, utter contempt.
	It is unanimous among liberals as well as leftists that prohibition was asinine.
	But if the doctrine is if we can only save one life, then it's worth it.
	Prohibition was a great idea.
	A lot of people die from alcohol.
	So what do you say?
	Bah, but the argument is, ah, but look at the price paid.
	Yes, that's the point.
	Look at the price paid.
	Whenever people buy something, they ask, what does it cost?
	What is the price?
	That should be one's question whenever anything happens.
	What is the price?
	That's it.
	1-8 Prager 776. Lori in Neighbor right now, Bloomington, Minnesota.
	Hello, Lori.
	Hi!
	Welcome to 50 Degrees and Sunny.
	How are you, Dad?
	It's unbelievable, absolutely.
	I know.
	I know.
	See, that quote from Cuomo, if he could save one life, you mean like in the nursing homes?
	Yeah, right.
	Yeah, right, exactly.
	Anyway, what I'm calling about is, this is just a hypothesis.
	I only went to college for a year, so I might be a dummy.
	But here's the thing.
	I think why we do what we do in Minnesota is because we have a highly educated class.
	We have the beauty of our Mother Earth, and we have the arts.
	That's what's wrong with Minnesota.
	I've lived here all my life, and I'm thinking about moving.
	I just don't know if I can take it.
	But anyway, Dennis, welcome to the cities.
	I hope you enjoy your talk.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	See ya.
	I think she should bless God.
	She believes in God.
	I suspect she does from her call.
	If she doesn't believe in God, she should bless luck or her parents that she only went to college for a year because it has enabled her to think more clearly.
	I do believe that.
	I do not ever speak in hyperbolic terms.
	Now, why did she say beauty, the arts, and well-educated?
	Hmm.
	There's a lot to be said for that.
	That's the case on the West Coast.
	The staggering amount of beauty up and down from Washington to Oregon to California.
	Incredible beauty.
	Highly educated.
	And the arts.
	It's interesting.
	Very sad because...
	All three should contribute to making decent people, but as one who is involved in the arts is a part-time orchestra conductor, I have long noted that great art does not make great people necessarily.
	Education makes worse people in the West at this time.
	And beauty, I guess, that enables you to worship nature.
	It's an intelligent call, in large measure, because she only went to college for a year.
	C'est le point.
	All right, so congratulations to Texas.
	Makes moving there or Mississippi very, very desirable.
	I prefer freedom even to great weather.
	That's how I'm thinking right now.
	Back in a moment, I'm Dennis Prager. I'm Dennis Prager.
	For most of my career, I've been talking conservative leaders down from dire predictions of imminent inflation.
	Now I think that inflation is a very real short and midterm risk.
	Last year, the Trump administration borrowed $3.3 trillion, yes, with a T, to fund COVID relief and various stimuli.
	At the end of the year, almost another trillion was agreed to, and now the new president is proposing an additional almost two trillion.
	So far, almost all of this new spending has been financed out of the central bank's creation of new monetary base.
	In other words, we printed the money we spent.
	Inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
	The Fed is giving us too much money, and the low-growth Biden economy will provide too few goods.
	And Americans are right to be concerned.

	He's Andrew Cuomo.
	He's like a Mafia Don.
	He doesn't go out of anywhere unless it's in a box.
	Tell us, what's the truth, Joe Piscopo?
	You know, he's the terminator of politics.
	He really is.
	He'll be back.
	I'll be back.
	I love that everybody's making the mafia references because he's Italian.
	I don't get offended by it, but he's like the Sollozzo character.
	Remember?
	Yes!
	Virgil Sollozzo!
	I don't like violence.
	Michael is bad for business, you know?
	Or how about this line?
	You want to see Governor Cuomo say, that's the bad news for me and bad news for you.
	It's like a character.
	However, let me put this caveat out there, if I may, my friend.
	When I knew Andrew 30 years ago, 20 years ago, he was always nice.
	He was always cordial.
	He was always a gentleman.
	Back to Andrew Cuomo, I know.
	I don't know who this guy is now, you know?
	Really?
	Michael Goodwin.
	Honestly, honestly.
	Do you say he's changed?
	Look, I talked to Kieran Lawler, who's up in Albany, one of the assemblymen, and Kieran said, Joe, why are you saying nice things about Andrew Cuomo?
	I said, I'm just saying when I met him, he was nice.
	Then I talked to Michael Goodwin this morning that we know and love from the New York Post, and Michael says he has changed in office.
	I do know this about him.
	First of all, he was always nice to me, and I always open the mic up to join me on the air, but I'm not Seb Gorka.
	I like to think I'm a good radio guy, but I'm not.
	He said to me, he goes, Joe, I love you, but you know Dr. Gorka.
	He told me that.
	No, not really.
	But the thing is, what he did with the women was one thing, and he apologized, and we have to accept that, I think.
	Easy for me to say, but it was nice that he did that.
	You know what this means?
	The Italians go like this.
	You know what the Italians go like this?

	The feds are on our door at 6 a.m.

	Is this man made of Teflon?
	Is he the new Teflon, Don?
	No, I gotta tell you, honestly, and you know, it's so tough for me now, so I talk to you as a Salem brother, you know.

	Hello, y'all.
	I'm Dennis Prager in Minneapolis, speaking in Wisconsin tonight.
	First live audience.
	Now, it's an interesting thing.
	Wisconsin is not open to that extent.
	How are they having a live audience?
	I'll find out, and I'll obviously tell you tomorrow.
	This should have been happening the whole time.
	Viruses take place.
	Let me lay out.
	This is my belief.
	I will lay it out clearly.
	If they had gone to therapeutics, specifically ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and zinc, hydroxychloroquine without zinc is, as Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, who has been using it since the beginning and curing hundreds, if not thousands, is like a gun without bullets.
	Clear?
	Hydroxychloroquine without zinc is like a gun without bullets.
	So not terribly effective, shall we say.
	Had we gone that route, and the quarantining of the highly vulnerable, life would have been better.
	But America was not alone in doing this, obviously.
	Within America, The left has been a much bigger proponent of controlling people's lives because they believe in controlling people's lives.
	It's not an opinion, it's a fact.
	They believe in controlling people's lives.
	They are a wrecking ball to the West and to America.
	The H.R. 1 voting, quote, rights bill passes the House.
	Not a single Republican voted for it.
	Been an understated person on American politics, considered one of the greatest, most knowledgeable authorities on politics in the United States.
	Wrote a column that this is the most dangerous bill in his life.
	Because the left wishes to destroy the voting process.
	That's all it is, is destroy the voting process.
	I'll read to you from that in the course of the show.
	Which reminds me, do I have a...
	Yes, I do.
	My apologies here.
	I have a guest.
	All right.
	Let me go to my guest.
	Donald Devine, Senior Scholar at the Fund for American Studies and former Professor of Government at the University of Maryland.
	He's now written a book.
	And if it's not important for the book, I don't have the author on.
	The Enduring Tension, Capitalism and the Moral Order.
	Professor Devine, I'm sorry that I... I'm in Minnesota, so it's not the same as I'm back home.
	Where are you?
	I'm in Maryland, outside of Washington.
	Lucky you!
	What a great place to be!
	Well, actually, the weather is very nice today.
	Uh-huh.
	Hey, listen, if weather were the criterion, I would be delighted in California.
	Well, Maryland isn't a lot better, but maybe a little better than California.
	A little, that is right.
	So why does it say former professor at the University of Maryland?
	Did you retire?
	Did you just want to leave?
	What did you do?
	Well, a guy named Ronald Reagan came along, and he convinced this professor that he should help him become president.
	So I left the University of Maryland, although they were very happy to see me leave as a conservative.
	I left and went to run the federal bureaucracy for Ronald Reagan for his first term.
	He kind of changed my whole life.
	I've been both a professor and an activist, and I had the great experience of working for the government, because I learned one thing absolutely clearly, and I've been studying and writing on it ever since, and it doesn't work.
	You're saved from the Washington Post, but today the front page, big story, carried inside a big story.
	On page two, a column on it that's headed, In a bureaucracy, no one has answers.
	And that's the basic fact to me of what's going on in the government today.
	and she is a very liberal woman writing here about the bureaucracy.
	No one has answers.
	The fact is, that's the problem.
	This bureaucracy doesn't work.
	It's doing too much.
	It's overwhelmed the top progressive professor in the United States, Paul.
	All right.
	Tell me that when we get back.
	I have to break, and I'm going to mention his book when we come back again.
	I do want to talk to you for a moment about something that might be of tremendous help to you.
	If you have what's called pins and needles, that feeling in any of your extremities, like hands and feet or wherever it might be.
	So I had it.
	I was born with it, so to speak.
	It developed very early in life, in my feet.
	I have neuromas.
	I got inserts in my shoes, finally, which actually helped.
	Then I learned about Nerve Renew.
	Took it for about a year.
	And I threw away the inserts after 10 years of using them.

	Well, my question is, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about systemic racism, and I mentioned one of your nuggets that actually more white people, unarmed white people are killed than black people.
	And you say, of course they are, because there's more white people in this country than black people.
	So what's the answer to that?
	I didn't know how to come back.
	Real simple.
	White people are what percentage of the population?
	Around 61%.
	What percentage of the homicides are committed by white people?
	50%.
	Meaning they commit...
	We commit almost half of the homicides at 13%.
	So at 13%, we're far, far more likely to be an offender and a victim of a homicide.
	A young black man is anywhere from 7 to 10 times more likely, Larry, to be the victim of a homicide, almost always at the hands of another young black man.
	The leading cause of death for young white men, Larry, is accidents, like car accidents, or poor...
	School drownings, the leading cause of death, preventable or non-preventable for young black men, homicide, almost always at the hands of another black man.
	That is why the police are there.
	It is true that the police are two and a half times more likely to kill a black suspect.
	It's also true, as I said, that a young black suspect is seven or eight times more likely to be a victim of a homicide.
	That's why the cops are there.
	You look at a city, Larry, like St. Louis.
	St. Louis is about 45% black.
	About 300 homicides last year.
	90% of them black on black.
	Baltimore, 65% black.
	About 400 homicides last year.

	President Biden sent signals, and the people of Central America heard them, and they are marching towards our southern border in ever-increasing numbers.
	I mean, it's actually sort of an extraordinary rise.
	Is anybody covering them?
	It's like geometrical expansion of the problem.
	Well, they're trying to minimize it as much as possible, but they can only minimize it so much when you just look at the reality of what's happening on our southern border.
	I've been predicting since last fall that if Joe Biden became president, there would be a huge migrant surge on our border.
	You cannot promise the world amnesty and catch and release and open borders and even free health care, which the Democrats are putting in there.
	We're in the middle of February, Hugh.
	Texas just suffered a brutal freezing winter storm, yet they have record numbers of migrants to include unaccompanied children at the border.
	What does Joe Biden and his administration think it's going to be?
	There's a new socialism in town.
	Its foundations are more cultural than economic.
	Dinesh D'Souza explains this change in leftist thinking and its impact on your life.
	There's a new video from Prager University.
	See it at PragerU.com where we teach what isn't fun.
	Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	One of the things we most need today is a moral, not just economic.
	Moral Defense of Capitalism.
	And it's been written now.
	Donald Devine, that's spelled as the divinity, D-E-V-I-N-E, has written it, formerly the University of Maryland.
	It's titled, The Enduring Tension, Capitalism and the Moral Order.
	And the book is up at DennisPrager.com.
	So, Donald Devine...
	Some thinkers have said that capitalism and the free market are so successful that the seeds of their own demise are planted because when people have prosperity, as I have said a lot here,
	my listeners have heard me say this so often, affluence Boredom, affluence, and secularism equals extremism.
	Any thoughts on that?
	Well, I mean, that's right down there.
	I'd like to say in a few seconds here, I want to congratulate you.
	I know you wrote it a couple of years ago, but your Thomas on Genesis is just a super, super book.
	Thank you very much.
	I'll get back to selling my book.
	I will, happily.
	I mean, that is the copy of the title of the book, Enduring Tension.
	It's the tension between capitalist freedom and moral order.
	You've got to have both, and really the whole history of Western civilization.
	I mean, the fact that God could give human beings I
	mean, no other way of thinking in the world could come up with something like that.
	That freedom is there.
	It's a dangerous thing, and it needs protections.
	Society needs these things.
	Capitalism came out of that idea that man is free for most Well, history at least kept this idea of the necessity of the moral order and being responsible to this creator.
	Unfortunately, as you've documented well here so many times, we're losing that.
	And if we lose that, we lose capitalism.
	And by the way, we're losing capitalism, too.
	I mean, right now, Well, the Federal Reserve is running the market more than the market's running the Federal Reserve.
	And that's why we're coming in a crisis.
	You know, people are worried about President Biden and all he's doing as well they should.
	But the fact is, he is going to prove that the system doesn't work once and for all.
	They've got control of the political arms, and they're going to put this through.
	They're going to put it through, and it ain't going to work.
	Actually, in the short run, two years, four years, I think people are going to see very clearly that this system of having the government try to run everything doesn't work.
	The bureaucracy, I mean, think of it.
	Our bureaucracy...
	We could not defend the capital of the United States from a ragtag group of extremists, part of a larger group of decent people.
	They could not stop to defend even the capital.
	And the hearings yesterday in Congress were embarrassment, recognized even by the liberal people from the Washington Post.
	The system doesn't work.
	As my boss, Ronald Reagan, used to say, what made America great was federalism.
	What we did is we divided power.
	We set it down to the lowest level possible that we could get things done.
	That worked.
	What is the one thing that's worked recently?
	It's been distributing the remedies for For the pandemic drug.
	And why did that happen?
	Because President Trump decided to let the states have the main thrust and went into immediate ways with the private sector and got them to rush through all the government obstacles that are in their way.
	But that one moment we got him out of the way, everyone laughed that he couldn't possibly Get the vaccines out by the end of the year, and he did, before the end of the year.
	We've got to learn that our founders understood that you can't solve everything from the center.
	You have to get back where real people are, and real people can make decisions.
	And unfortunately, the country's going to pay for this, but we're going to have an excellent example of that, the Biden administration.
	And what we, on the more conservative side of the fence, need to do during those two years where we're basically out of power is that we've got to go back and think of what made us great.
	And that's what I try to do.
	Exactly what you do.
	And you do it well.
	I want to thank you.
	This has been an honor to talk to you.
	A moral defense of capitalism.

	Investors, the business press, and just ordinary citizens concerned about their 401k accounts are beginning to get worried about inflation.
	For most of my career, I've been talking conservative leaders down from dire predictions of imminent inflation.
	Now, I think that inflation is a very real short and midterm risk.
	Last year, the Trump administration borrowed $3.3 trillion, yes, with a T, to fund COVID relief and various stimuli.
	At the end of the year, almost another trillion was agreed to, and now the new president is proposing an additional almost two trillion.
	So far, almost all of this new spending has been financed out of the central bank's creation of new monetary base.
	In other words, we printed the money we spent.
	Inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
	The Fed is giving us too much money, and the low-growth Biden economy will provide too few goods.
	And Americans are right to be concerned.

	Now let me go to this $1.9 trillion bill.
	The Wall Street Journal today included something that made me stand up and say, huh?
	The parliamentarian on Monday, the Senate parliamentarian, ruled in favor of Democrats, including health care subsidies for laid off workers and support for multi-employer pensions.
	All I want to know, Senator Cotton, do multi-employer pensions include state pension funds, which are vastly underfunded, not because of COVID, but because of 30 years.
	A purposeful underfunding of pension liabilities.
	Well, Hugh, it wouldn't surprise if they do.
	I haven't seen what the Senate is proposing yet because Chuck Schumer is keeping it under lock and key, but we've seen within the House bill less than a dime out of every dollar will go for coronavirus relief.
	This is about Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer paying off Democratic clients and patrons.
	Look, $350 billion for states and local governments.
	That is going to be distributed in a way that favors poorly run Democratic states.
	States, by the way, that in many cases haven't even lost revenue over the last year.
	The New York Times has a big story about that today.
	Likewise, they're going to give $130 billion to teachers unions.
	Only 5% of that money is going to go for education this year when schools need to reopen and start educating their kids.
	Did you know, Hugh, did you know, Hugh, that federal employees whose schools are closed, which is, say, for the most part, federal employees in Democratic-run states, We're going to get a weekly subsidy for childcare.
	So all you poor working stiffs across America are only going to get $1,400 once under the Democratic bill.
	Federal employees whose kids' schools are closed are going to get that $1,400 and then they're going to get $1,400 every single week if this bill passes for three months.
	All right, y'all.
	Again, the book of this wonderful man, The Enduring Tension, Capitalism and the Moral Order, is up at DennisPrager.com at Moral Defense of Capitalism.
	There is no bill that has been passed that is perhaps as scary as H.R. 1. I'll read to you from John Fund next hour.
	Not one Republican voted for it in the House, but they can do whatever they want with their numbers.
	If you are a Republican in Georgia and you didn't vote for either of the Senate runoffs, you are one who has ruined this country by enabling the Democrats to have 50-50.
	And thereby giving the power of the Senate to the left.
	I don't know how many.
	I would love to know.
	Maybe so few that it's not even worth mentioning.
	But I don't think it's few.
	People called this show and told me that they were not voting in Georgia because they believe the election is corrupt anyway.
	So, in other words, let's enable them to win without cheating.
	It's an intelligent view.
	However, look, I have made peace with the fact that most people are governed by emotion, not by reason.
	But I have an enduring anger at Republicans in Georgia who did not vote.
	Because the damage that the left is doing to this country may be irrevocable, at least in your lifetime.
	And your lifetime might be if you're 25, not just my lifetime.
	H.R. 1, I will discuss, just passed.
	This joke, another joke, police uncover possible plot by militia to breach capital.
	We have this barbed wire fence around the Capitol.
	We have 10,000 National Guard, and you can't guard against some so-called militia.
	This country's pathetic under Democrats' rule.
	Pathetic.
	Let these people come out and arrest them.
	Let's be rid of these people who want to breach the Capitol.
	I'm not even...
	They should have done nothing.
	But you see, by scaring Americans, whether it's about COVID or masks, or hydroxychloroquine and zinc, or capital breaches, or insurrections, or endemic racism, that's how they gain power.

	Yeah.
	He's Andrew Cuomo.
	He's like a mafia don.
	He doesn't go out of anywhere unless it's in a box.
	Tell us, what's the truth, Joe Piscopo?
	You know, Seb, he is.
	He's the terminator of politics.
	He really is.
	He'll be back.
	I'll be back, you know.
	And then I love everybody's making the mafia references because he's Italian.
	I don't get offended by it, but he's like the Sollozzo character.
	Remember?
	Yes, Virgil Sollozzo.
	I don't, I don't.
	I don't like violence.
	Michael is bad for business, you know?
	Or how about this line?
	You want to see Governor Cuomo say, that's the bad news for me and bad news for you.
	You know, it's like a character.
	However, let me put this caveat out there, if I may, my friend.
	When I knew Andrew 30 years ago, 20 years ago, he was always nice.
	He was always cordial.
	He was always a gentleman.
	Back to Andrew Cuomo, I know.
	I don't know who this guy is now, you know?
	Really?
	Michael Goodwin.
	Honestly, honestly.
	Are you saying he's changed?
	Look, I talked to Kieran Lawler, who's up in Albany, one of the assemblymen, and Kieran said, Joe, why are you saying nice things about Andrew Cuomo?
	I said, I'm just saying when I met him, he was nice.
	Then I talked to Michael Goodwin this morning that we know and love from the New York Post, and Michael says he has changed in office.
	I do know this about him.
	First of all, he was always nice to me, and I always open the mic up to join me on the air, but I'm not Seb Gorka.
	I like to think I'm a good radio guy, but I'm not.
	He said to me, he goes, Joe, I love you, but you know Dr. Gorka.
	He told me that.
	No, not really.
	But the thing is, what he did with the women was one thing, and he apologized, and we have to accept that, I think.
	Easy for me to say, but it was nice that he did that.

	My question is, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about systemic racism and I mentioned one of your nuggets that actually More white people, unarmed white people are killed than black people.
	And you say, of course they are, because there's more white people in this country than black people.
	So what's the answer to that?
	I didn't know how to come back on that.
	Real simple.
	White people are what percentage of the population?
	Around 61%.
	What percentage of the homicides are committed by white people?
	50%.
	Meaning they commit, as a percentage of their population, less murders than blacks do at 13%.
	We commit almost half of the homicides at 13%.
	So at 13%, we're far, far more likely to be a...
	An offender and a victim of a homicide.
	A young black man is anywhere from 7 to 10 times more likely, Larry, to be the victim of a homicide almost always at the hands of another young black man.
	The leading cause of death for young white men, Larry, is accidents, like car accidents or pool drownings.
	The leading cause of death, preventable or non-preventable for young black men, homicide almost always at the hands of another black man.
	That is why the police are there.
	It is true that the police are two and a half times more likely to kill a black suspect.
	It's also true, as I said, that a young black suspect is seven or eight times more likely to be a victim of a homicide.
	That's why the cops are there.
	You look at a city, Larry, like St. Louis.
	St. Louis is about 45% black.
	About 300 homicides last year.
	90% of them black on black.
	Baltimore, 65% black.
	About 400 homicides last year.
	90% of them black on black.
	Chicago, a third black, a third white, a third Hispanic.
	70% of the homicides black on black.
	Tell your friend that.
	Well, hello, everybody.
	Thank you to Bob France yesterday.
	That is one great broadcaster.
	At my wonderful station in Cleveland.
	I was on an airplane.
	And from L.A. to Minneapolis, and well, anyway, it was smooth.
	I find airplanes...
	Are more effective than...
	What is that?
	What do people take to fall asleep?
	What is the most common thing again?
	It's over the counter.
	Anyway, I find it more effective.
	I don't need any.
	Thank God I fall asleep quickly.
	But planes really do it.
	Arrived here.
	Weather is beautiful.
	And this was the center of the...
	Riots which spread around the country.
	He will have a return to the riots almost definitely because the police officer will not be found guilty of murder.
	Maybe unintentional or negligent manslaughter or whatever the phrase might be, but not murder.
	And anything but murder will provoke riots.
	People riot because it's fun to riot.
	That's why.
	This country is not systemically racist.
	The left is systemically racist because of its contempt for black people.
	Just as the teachers' union have contempt for students, not opening the schools because teachers won't teach in schools because, quote-unquote, it's not safe.
	They are either hypochondriacs and cowards that are unworthy of standing in front of young people, or they're just politically manipulated, or they're lazy.
	Nothing like collecting a salary while doing nothing.
	But they don't give a damn about students.
	Teachers unions have more contempt for students than any other group in the country.
	That is the left that has contempt for every group in whose name it speaks.
	Feminists have contempt for women.
	Let biological men compete against women and ruin women's sports.
	That's the whole reason for women's sports is because they cannot compete because of physical reasons with men.
	So allowing a biological man who says he is a woman, and fine, I have no problem.
	You say you're a woman.
	You act like a woman.
	You have a woman's name.
	I'll call you a woman.
	That's fine.
	But you're not.
	You're biologically a woman, so you can't race.
	Feminist groups have done nothing for the women in this case.
	But there's worse news than that, and I don't want to depress you.
	I want you to fight.
	There's a very big difference.
	You see, I walk a...
	I do, I admit it.
	Every day, I walk a fine line between depressing you and telling you the truth about the state of the country.
	If you get depressed, then they win.
	You get it?
	I look at the prognosis, or I look at the diagnosis, I should say, not the prognosis.
	I look at the diagnosis, and I fight.
	Getting depressed is worthless.
	Worthless.
	Think of the troops invading Normandy Beach.
	If they got depressed, they would be worthless.
	So, there's a certain narcissism in getting depressed over the state of the country.
	It can sober you.
	It can make you fight.
	It can do a whole host of things, but you cannot allow it to depress you.
	Depressed people don't accomplish anything.
	It should make you want to fight for the country.
	Others have died for the country.
	You can live for the country.
	So I want to make that clear.
	Because I'm going to read to you about the bill that this vicious human being vis-a-vis America, I don't know what a personal life, she might be a saint.
	Remember my new motto.
	If only the evil did evil, we'd have a beautiful world.
	We'd have a good world.
	The number of decent people who commit evil is much larger than the number of evil people who commit evil.
	Okay?
	That probably includes some of your relatives and friends.
	Thoroughly decent people who achieve monumental evil in destroying this country and its education system and its art system and everything about it.
	It's very easy to say, I don't know if this is such a nice person.
	Is Nancy Pelosi nice in her personal life?
	Is she honest?
	I have no idea.
	And it is irrelevant.
	The woman has done as much damage as she would if she were a psychopathological human being.
	H.R.1.
	All Democrats voted for it.
	Ah, but the Republicans don't think it's important some Republicans to vote.
	Every Democrat voted for this election-destroying...
	Left-wing ascendant bill called H.R. 1. John Fund, whom I've had on this show often, there are very few people who are as highly regarded with regard to American political life as call it the most dangerous bill.
	I have the worst piece of legislation I have ever seen.
	In my 40 years reporting from Washington.
	There is a reason Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called her 791-page bill, stuffed as it is with her favorite election-related changes, House of Representatives Bill No.
	1, or H.R. 1. It's that important to her.
	She has convinced or pressured every single House Democrat to co-sponsor it as it comes up for a vote.
	And it did yesterday.
	It means it will likely pass narrowly, given that the Democrats have a 219 to 211 majority.
	Whenever the Democrats are in charge, the Democrats are the party of the left, just as the Communists were the party of the left in Russia.
	There is very little difference at this time between the Bolsheviks and the Democrats.
	There is no joy in my saying it, and a lot of nice people who hate Bolshevism vote Democrat.
	That's why I say, if only evil people committed evil, it would be a good world.
	A lot of good people vote for evil.
	That's what it is.
	That's a fact.
	What is the word?
	Naivete in an adult.
	Is inexcusable.
	Inexcusable.
	So, I know a lot of dear people who vote Democrat.
	They are good, good human beings in their private life.
	But they vote for the ruination of this country by voting Democrat.
	Okay.
	H.R. 1...
	Would cement all of the worst changes in election law made in blue states in 2020 and nationalize them.
	Federal control of elections would be the norm.
	States would be relegated to colonial outposts that carry out Washington DC's mandates.
	Democracies die when one party seizes control of the election process, eliminates the safeguards that have protected the integrity of the ballot, Places restrictions on free speech and seizes the earnings of individual citizens to promote candidates they may abhor, says Representative Tom McClintock, a California Republican.
	Democracies die by suicide, and we are now face to face with such an instrument.
	That is correct.
	Congressman McClintock, does H.R. 1, this is John Fund, justify such apocalyptic rhetoric?
	This is in The Spectator.
	Sadly, yes.
	So here is a short summary of the worst provisions of H.R. 1, which just passed.
	H.R. 1 would make fraud easier by forcing states to implement early voting, automatic voter registration, same-day registration, online voter registration, and no-fault absentee balloting.
	That's right.
	States would be forced to do this.
	This is the point.
	In other words, not just...
	California and other left-wing states.
	Early voting, automatic voter registration, same-day registration, online voter registration, and no-fault absentee balloting.
	For that alone, this is awful, but I will continue the list.
	You are listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
	The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor P. Turning now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	You see the story of the nursing homes is actually a very complicated story.
	The nursing home story is one that we warned about on this program and the great one Mark Levin warned about back in March.
	I remember listening to the Mark Levin radio program and a woman called into the great ones.
	And at the time, Andrew Cuomo was doing his multi-hour, slow, daily briefings.
	Mark Levin asked the caller, this can't possibly be true, and Janice Dean, who works for Fox News, claims that both of her parents were killed as a result of this policy.
	Let's also get the tape of Janice Dean.
	So this was a scandal that we knew was occurring.
	Now, putting Chinese coronavirus-infected patients into nursing homes is bad enough.
	But Andrew Cuomo...
	He decided to do something worse than that.
	He doubled down on the policy, lied about it ever happening, and then covered it up.
	You see, early on in the virus, it's understandable that mistakes are going to be made.
	Some Republican governors made some mistakes.
	And you course correct.
	You say, we shouldn't have done that.
	And you adjust.
	That's what being a leader is all about.
	So do I think that Andrew Cuomo was a fool to sign off on this policy?
	Absolutely.

	Speaking of studies, one of them was led by the black congresswoman Barbara Jordan, who made the argument that unskilled illegal aliens pose competition to unskilled black and brown workers.
	And Coretta Scott King once wrote a letter.
	I believe it was you who brought my attention to that.
	I wrote a letter to Congress urging them not to relax sanctions against employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens because of the threat that they pose to black and brown workers.
	That was Coretta Scott King writing that letter.
	Barbara Jordan and others, of course, but this was at a time when many of our black leaders actually had true, adult, sane concerns about the prospects of African Americans.
	These days, I don't want to cast any aspersions on anyone, but if you take a look at our so-called black leaders, they're all in uniform lockstep with the principal interests of the Democratic Party as opposed to the average American and average black American.
	We've had hearing after hearing at the Civil Rights Commission.
	There have been numerous hearings before Congress found this.
	The evidence is playing.
	Yes, you're going to get contrary arguments from people.
	I would urge your listeners, take a look at the data.
	One of the pieces of evidence before the Civil Rights Commission is that 40% of the 18-point, a full 18-point decline in labor rates among blacks prior to the Trump administration came from competition from illegal immigrants.
	That's astonishing.
	That was turned around under Trump.
	We actually had a complete reversal.
	We had the lowest unemployment rates among blacks in history, and especially among young blacks.
	And labor participation rates for young blacks was going through the roof.
	And now, just because Trump implemented this, we're reversing this, and we're damaging the prospects in a time when we can't afford it in the midst of a pandemic.

	Hi everybody, Dennis Prager.
	Before I read to you more about HR 1, And how dangerous a bill.
	Happily, it may not pass through the Senate.
	Thank God.
	But I need to read to you a piece that really got to me.
	From Fox News.
	Kimmel warns canceling Dr. Seuss is how Trump gets re-elected.
	Cancel culture is his path to victory.
	ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel sounded the alarm on cancel culture Tuesday and how it could help former President Donald Trump get re-elected.
	Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced earlier Tuesday that publication of six books by the famed children's author would be discontinued due to racist and offensive imagery.
	After cracking some jokes during his monologue about Dr. Seuss books, With alternative woke titles, Kimmel warned that recent incidents of cancel culture could pave the way for Trump's return to the White House.
	This is how Trump gets re-elected, by the way, Kimmel told his audience.
	Cancel Dr. Seuss, cancel Abe Lincoln, melt down Mr. Potato Head's private parts, and throw them at the Muppets.
	This is his path to victory the next time around.
	I tell you, look, I'm happy he said this.
	I salute Jimmy Kimmel for saying this.
	So this is what happens every time, but there's such utter ignorance of the left by sheer great chance I know the left as well as I know anything that I have studied.
	Just finished the third volume of a Bible commentary.
	I have...
	Pretty good knowledge of Biblical Hebrew and so on.
	But I would say I know the left as well as I know Biblical Hebrew.
	And this is what happens every time.
	Liberals support the left and then they get crushed by them.
	There is nothing in common, Jimmy Kimmel, nothing between what you revere and the left.
	But you have been brainwashed.
	Like almost every liberal has, to believe that the right is your enemy and not the left.
	So, at some point, liberals will say, whoa, that's a bridge too far.
	Canceling Dr. Seuss books, whoa, whoa.
	And by the way, what bugs him is that it might re-elect Donald Trump.
	Not, apparently, that it's happening.
	That's what's so fascinating.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	We'll see how long liberals can remain fools.
	Nice fools.
	Kind fools.
	Moral fools.
	But fools.
	H.R. 1. This is a short summary of this bill just passed.
	One Democrat, I didn't know, one Democrat voted against it for Mississippi.
	You have the kibble audio?
	Worth listening to.
	For instance, we now have the cat in the problematic headdress.
	How the Grinch appropriated Native American culture.
	Hop on pop with his consent.
	Horton hears a they.
	Horton hears a misogynist joke and reports it to HR. There's a Wocket in my ethically sourced sustainable pocket.
	No eggs or ham.
	That's a vegan thing, I guess.
	And Yertle, the gender-fluid turtle.
	And other stories.
	This is how Trump gets re-elected, by the way.
	Cancel Dr. Seuss.
	Cancel Abe Lincoln.
	Melt down Mr. Potato Head's private parts and...
	Throw them at the Muppets.
	This is his path to victory the next time around.
	You know, Dr. Seuss' birthday is also Read Across America Day.
	They came up with this to honor him, but now the NEA wants nothing to do with Dr. Seuss, but they do still want us to read on his birthday.
	I think.
	I'm not sure.
	I don't know.
	But what I do know is that Americans...
	Okay, that's it.
	So this is so interesting.
	Look, thank God.
	I salute him for this contempt for the left on this.
	But they don't do it.
	He'll still vote left.
	It doesn't matter.
	Because Donald Trump is the enemy.
	What did Donald Trump do?
	Do!
	Not tweet.
	Do!
	That hurt Jimmy Kimmel or America.
	The ratio of good things that Joe Biden has done already is a thousand to one.
	It's astonishing, the preoccupation with tweets over actions as president.
	By the way, most of his tweets actually told the truth like his CPAC speech did when he raised the issue of biological men racing against biological women.
	More things, H.R.1.
	Degrade the accuracy of registration lists by requiring states to automatically register all individuals on state and federal databases.
	This would include many ineligible voters, including aliens.
	It would require states to allow 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds to register.
	Combined with a ban on voter ID, this would allow underage individuals to vote.
	A ban.
	A ban on voter ID. Do you understand that?
	A ban.
	This is what the Congress of the United States, because some people vote Democrat, because they hated Republicans or conservatives or Donald Trump.
	A national takeover of elections.
	First time ever.
	Ban voter ID. So here is, of course, their lingo.
	If you are for voter ID, you're for voter suppression.
	And the well-educated believe that.
	Mandate no-fault absentee ballots, which are the tool of choice for vote thieves, force states to accept absentee ballots received up to 10 days after Election Day, and force states to allow ballot harvesting.
	Wow.
	Prevent election officials from checking the eligibility and qualifications of voters.
	And removing ineligible voters.
	Ban state voter ID laws by forcing states to allow individuals to vote without an ID and merely signing a statement in which they claim they are who they say they are.
	Anyway, it goes on.
	That's what they pass because the Democrats control the House.
	Right.
	Nice people vote Democrat.
	Yeah, it's an important insight, if I'm allowed to say it about my own insight.
	If only the evil did evil, the world would be a good place.
	Read my columns from a couple of weeks ago.
	One column was titled The Good German, the other one was The Good American.
	Mine eyes have opened in the last year.
	And I thought they were opened...
	Prior to that.
	You live and learn, don't you?
	Alright, y'all.
	We continue.
	This is the Dennis Prager Show.
	Trending now on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Now let me go to this $1.9 trillion bill.
	The Wall Street Journal today included something that made me stand up and say, huh?
	The parliamentarian on Monday, the Senate parliamentarian, ruled in favor of Democrats including health care subsidies for laid-off workers and support for multi-employer pensions.
	All I want to know, Senator Cotton, do multi-employer pensions include State pension funds, which are vastly underfunded, not because of COVID, but because of 30 years of purposeful underfunding of pension liabilities.
	Well, Hugh, it wouldn't surprise if they do.
	I haven't seen what the Senate is proposing yet, because Chuck Schumer is keeping it under lock and key, but we've seen what's in the House bill.
	Less than a dime out of every dollar will go for coronavirus relief.
	This is about Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer paying off Democratic clients and patrons.
	Look, $350 billion for states and local governments.
	That is going to be distributed in a way that favors poorly run Democratic states.
	States, by the way, that in many cases haven't even lost revenue over last year.
	The New York Times has a big story about that today.
	Likewise, they're going to give $130 billion to teachers unions.
	Only 5% of that money is going to go for education this year when schools need to reopen and start educating their kids.
	Did you know, Hugh, did you know, Hugh, that federal employees whose schools are closed, which is, say, for the most part, federal employees in Democratic-run states, We're going to get a weekly subsidy for childcare.
	So all you poor working stiffs across America are only going to get $1,400 once under the Democratic bill.
	Federal employees whose kids' schools are closed are going to get that $1,400, and then they're going to get $1,400 every single week if this bill passes for three months.

	You know, Seth, he is.
	He's the Terminator of politics.
	He really is.
	He'll be back.
	I'll be back.
	I love that everybody's making the mafia references because he's Italian.
	I don't get offended by it, but he's like the Sollozzo character.
	Remember?
	Yes, Virgil Sollozzo.
	I don't like violence.
	Michael is bad for business.
	How about this line?
	You want to see Governor Cuomo say, that's the bad news for me and bad news for you.
	It's like a character.
	However, let me put this caveat out there, if I may, my friend.
	When I knew Andrew 30 years ago, 20 years ago, he was always nice, he was always cordial, he was always a gentleman.
	Back to Andrew Cuomo, I know.
	I don't know who this guy is now, you know?
	Really?
	Michael Goodwin.
	Honestly, honestly.
	So you're saying he's changed?
	Look, I talked to Kieran Lawler, who's up in Albany, one of the assemblymen, and Kieran said, Joe, why are you saying nice things about Andrew Cuomo?
	I said, I'm just saying when I met him, he was nice.
	Then I talked to Michael Goodwin this morning that we know and love from the New York Post, and Michael says he has changed in office.
	I do know this about him.
	First of all, he was always nice to me, and I always open the mic up to join me on the air, but I'm not Seb Gorka.
	I like to think I'm a good radio guy, but he said to me, he goes, Joe, I love you, but you know Dr. Gorka.
	He told me that.
	No, not really.
	But the thing is, what he did with the women was one thing, and he apologized, and we have to accept that, I think.
	Easy for me to say, but it was nice that he did that.

	Those who help the fighters are just as important as the fighters.
	PragerU is a fighter.
	And March and August are fundraising months for Prager University.

	A billion, with a B, views a year.
	The largest non-left video site on earth.

	They're very inspiring.
	I have today Kaylee Stockton in Santa Clarita, California.
	Kaylee, welcome to my show.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Nice to talk to you.
	Thank you.
	Can I ask you guys to up the volume there?
	I'm in Minneapolis, so just...
	Doing some tweaking here.
	Kaylee, were you at the Saugus High School?
	Yes, I was.
	So were you in the school the day that two of your classmates were murdered?
	Yes, I was.
	Wow.
	So...
	Before anything political or PragerU or anything, how did that affect you?
	It was definitely flipped my whole world around.
	Everything I thought I knew just was completely thrown away at that moment.
	And it changed my views on the world and religion and politics at the end of the day.
	Well, obviously I'm going to find out how it did so in each of those, but just on the particulars, did you know either of the students who were killed?
	I didn't know the two kids who were murdered, no.
	Right.
	Did you know the murderer?
	I did.
	Wow.
	Were you shocked or not so shocked?
	I think the entire school was shocked when they found out who it was.
	Yeah, that's what I was reading, that there just seemed like a quiet...
	By the way, not all quiet kids or quiet adults turn out to be murderers, but nearly all of those who do are quiet.
	So that was not shocking.
	I wonder if he had any close friends.
	Do you know if he did?
	Yeah, he had a lot of friends, actually.
	He was a track star.
	Really good at that.
	And I always saw him hang around with a big group of friends.
	Wow.
	So to this day, it's a puzzle to you?
	Yeah, I still can't figure it out.
	And of course, he immediately, there were 16 seconds, and then he killed himself.
	Then he shot himself in the head.
	Wow.
	This happened, folks.
	When did it happen?
	2019, is that correct?
	November 14th, 2019. Yeah.
	Okay, so let me hear.
	I am curious.
	You said religiously it affected you.
	In which direction?
	I became a Christian.
	And what about the shooting prompted that?
	I was sitting in a classroom, and I actually had one of the wounded girls in front of me.
	911 was instructing us on what to do.
	And I prayed for the first time in years.
	And I told God that if he could get me and the girl who was injured in front of me out, I'd make an attempt to get closer to him.
	And when he delivered on that, I kept my promise.
	So had she died, you would not have become religious?
	I don't think so, no.
	That's fascinating.
	So what would you say to the people who prayed and it didn't...
	Do you have any message to them to be religious, to those whose prayers were not answered?
	Sometimes you can't always see what God's doing.
	And it might be a little more building character or him telling you to wait, not necessarily that the answer is no.
	So are you happy you kept your promise?
	I am.
	I'm extremely happy.
	All right, we're going to hear more.
	She's a member of Prager for us.

	As the Wall Street Journal editorial board points out, the Biden-Harris administration has changed to full-throated encouragement.
	Though not before continuing to trash the Trump efforts.
	The White House is saying...
	You just heard Biden.
	Oh, the previous administration didn't contract for enough vaccine.
	We've fixed all that.
	That's a lie.
	As the Wall Street Journal points out, the supply was ramping up very quickly.
	The real problem...
	was the last mile of distribution controlled by the states.
	Governors like Cuomo tried to satisfy political constituencies that wanted early access to vaccines, adding complexity and bureaucracy that confused the public.
	Biden made the same mistake, asking states to give priority to educators, school staffers, and child care workers.
	That's arbitrary and unfair.
	A 30-year-old teacher who may still work remotely until September is at far less risk than a 50-year-old FedEx driver who interacts with customers all day.
	As the Wall Street Journal points out, the fairest, least political distribution standard is age.
	The Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed.
	also contracted most of the vaccine supply for production before approval by the FDA.
	200 million doses each of Pfizer and Moderna and 100 million of Johnson & Johnson.

	The nursing home story is one that we warned about on this program and the great one Mark Levin warned about back in March.
	I remember listening to the Mark Levin radio program.
	And a woman called into the Great One's radio show and said, Mark, I work for a nursing home association and Andrew Cuomo said, He's now ordering Chinese coronavirus-infected patients to be put into nursing homes.

	Kaylee Stockton is a...
	Are you still in high school?
	What is your situation?
	I'm a senior in high school.
	At the high school where two years ago, two students were murdered by a fellow student who then killed himself.
	So we now know how it affected you.
	Religiously, how did it affect you politically?
	That's another area you mentioned.
	I was anti-gun.
	I really didn't see the use for guns, didn't see them being used as a tool that could potentially save someone.
	And when I was sitting in the classroom that day, I was going through the checklist, the lockdown checklist in my head, and it's Ron Hyde.
	And I'd gotten to fight.
	And I sat there and I thought, if this guy comes in here, I have nothing.
	No one in the school has anything to throw this guy with.
	And so we waited for the good guys with guns to show up.
	But if he had wanted to kill more people, which he had the chance, we would have had nothing to protect ourselves with.
	Well, God gave you common sense, which, as Mark Twain put it a long time ago, was not common.
	I have a, this is for your benefit and all my listeners, my column this week is 32 questions to ask people you know to find out if they're liberal or leftist.
	One of the questions, I'm paraphrasing, it's not in front of me, is...
	Which school is more likely to be attacked by a shooter?
	One that has a sign in front, gun-free zone?
	Or one that has a sign in front, armed?
	People here are armed.
	The answer is obvious.
	The question is self-answering.
	And that's what you realized.
	The idiocy of...
	Only letting bad people have guns.
	It's hard to believe that serious people can think that way.
	So you drew the obvious conclusion.
	I assume, however, that most of your classmates differ with you.
	Yeah, they completely disagree.
	Right.
	So have you actually raised this, or do you keep quiet about your beliefs?
	No, I've been very vocal about them.
	And what is their answer as to, gee, what if he came into our class, would you have liked somebody to be armed?
	What do they say to that?
	They think it's more dangerous to have a teacher armed or an armed guard than it is to have a shooter on campus with no one to stop them, which has never made sense to me.
	Is there one teacher who agrees with you, at least publicly?
	Publicly, no.
	I'm quiet because I want the answer to register with my listeners.
	Not one teacher in this school would go on record, would just say publicly, it would be better if somebody were armed.
	With the shooter came in.
	Mind-boggling.
	So do you feel ostracized or not?
	Yes.
	I got a lot of hate for it after saying I was programmed.
	And some of them went as far as wishing I had died during the shooting.
	When you say they wish this, they actually posted this on social media?
	Yes.
	If a person posts that I wish someone would die, do they take them off social media, or only if you advocate Clarence Thomas are you removed?
	Only if you advocate for Clarence Thomas.
	Yeah, because Amazon removed his documentary.
	I want people to know that.
	It's a very scary thing what Amazon has done.
	But back to you.
	So people would wish you died because you would like people to protect themselves in case a shooter came in.
	So did anybody reach out positively?
	Yes, I had gained some support.
	Many of them were closeted, conservative.
	Right, I know.
	The only group in America in the closet is conservatives.
	Not gays, not transgender, not anything.
	Just conservatives.
	I want to keep you on.
	I want to know two things when we come back.

	Biden announcing yesterday, here's what he said about enough vaccines for every adult in America.
	in a matter of weeks.
	We're now on track to have enough vaccine supply for every adult in America by the end of May.
	Let me say that again.
	When we came into office, the prior administration had contracted for not nearly enough vaccine to cover adults in America.
	We rectified that.
	About three weeks ago, we were able to say that we'll have enough vaccine supply for adults by the end of July.
	And I'm pleased to announce today, as a consequence of the stepped-up process that I've ordered and just outlined, this country will have enough vaccine supply, I'll say it again, for every adult in America by the end of May.
	Now, while that's good news, He can't help himself in taking potshots at the previous administration that has delivered the vaccines to the world.
	They laughed.
	They mocked Trump when he set a target date of having a vaccine at the end of 2020. Well, guess what?
	We got the vaccine by the end of 2020. You know why?
	Because of President Trump's Operation Warp Speed.
	Remember Kamala Harris, who said she might not even take the vaccine that was recommended by the Trump administration?
	Well, now they've done a 180-degree pivot.

	She's a senior at a high school in Santa Clarita, which had a shooting two years ago.
	It had a big effect on her.
	Moved her in a direction different from most of her classmates and all of her teachers.
	So, two quick questions.
	What gives you the courage to be hated?
	Knowing that I'm doing the right thing and I'm standing up for something bigger than myself.
	That was a good answer, gotta say.
	And tell us about your relationship to PragerU.
	So after my school tested me out, I had saw an ad for Prager Force, and I had joined, and they had welcomed me in with open arms, and I was so accepting of my views, and they inspired me and encouraged me to use my story to inspire others.
	Had you seen the videos prior to the shooting?
	Yes.
	I have seen a lot of them.
	Oh, so you have a relationship that predates PragerForce, obviously.
	I didn't really know PragerU at the time.
	I went back and watched all your guys' old videos.
	What's your favorite PragerU video?
	Before you answer, I just want everybody to know.
	I've asked this of every PragerForce member I've interviewed.
	Everyone has had a different answer.
	What's your favorite?
	I have two.
	I have two.
	So what should we do about guns with Nicholas Johnson?
	For your fireside chat, I think it's episode 85. Why are there so many mass shootings?
	Oh, interesting.
	So two related to shooting.
	I'm not sure that they have been chosen before.
	Yes, you think clearly.
	Do you want to go to college?
	I haven't decided.
	Right.
	There's no reason to, just for the record, unless you're going into science, technology, engineering, or math.

	I'm Dennis Prager, PragerU.com, 833-PRAGER-U. Mark,
	I work for a nursing home association and Andrew Cuomo...

	Who works for Fox News claims that both of her parents were killed as a result of this policy.
	Let's also look at the tape of Janice Dean.
	So this was a scandal that we knew was occurring.
	Now, putting Chinese coronavirus-infected patients into nursing homes is bad enough.
	But Andrew Cuomo decided to do something worse than that.
	He doubled down on the policy.
	Lied about it ever happening.
	And then covered it up.
	You see, early on in the virus, it's understandable that mistakes are going to be made.
	Some Republican governors made some mistakes.
	And you course correct.
	You say, we shouldn't have done that.
	And you adjust.
	That's what being a leader is all about.
	So do I think that Andrew Cuomo was a fool to sign off on this policy?
	Absolutely.

	Trending now on The Larry Elder Show. - Speaking of studies, one of them was led by the black Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, who made the argument that unskilled illegal aliens pose competition to unskilled black and brown workers.
	And Coretta Scott King once wrote a letter.
	I believe it was you who brought my attention to that.
	I wrote a letter to Congress urging them not to relax sanctions against employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens because of the threat that they pose to black and brown workers.
	That was Coretta Scott King writing that letter.
	There's Barbara Jordan and others, of course.
	But this was at a time when many of our black leaders actually had true, adult, sane concerns about the prospects of African Americans.
	These days, I don't want to cast any aspersions on anyone, but if you take a look at our so-called black leaders, they're all in uniform lockstep with the principal interests of the Democratic Party as opposed to the average American and average black American.
	We've had hearing after hearing at the Civil Rights Commission.
	There have been numerous hearings before Congress on this.
	The evidence is playing.
	Yes, you're going to get contrary arguments from people.
	I would urge your listeners, take a look at the data.
	One of the pieces of evidence before the Civil Rights Commission is that 40% of the 18-point, a full 18-point decline in labor rates among blacks prior to the Trump administration came from competition from illegal immigrants.
	That's astonishing.
	That was turned around under Trump.
	We actually had a complete reversal.
	We had the lowest unemployment rates among blacks in history, and especially among young blacks.
	And labor participation rates for young blacks was going through the roof.
	And now, just because Trump implemented this, we're reversing this and we're damaging the prospects in a time when we can't afford it in the midst of a pandemic.

	you Federal employees whose kids' schools are closed are going to get that $1,400, and then they're going to get $1,400 every single week if this bill passes for three months.
	You know, I couldn't actually believe that when I read it, because it's $21,000 per federal employee.
	And I know that the National Treasury Employee Union, I used to deal with all of them at OPM. I know they're powerful.
	But that's an astonishing and a stupid political move.
	Wait until people find out that federal employees whose jobs are not in danger, they're going to get $21,000.
	Senator Cotton, I can't believe it.
	They've all been working, or maybe I should say working, in air quotes, since March.
	They haven't been going into their federal offices.
	They've been working from home.
	If they're in, say, Chicago, and there's some bean counter for federal bureaucracy there, They've been getting full income.
	They haven't had to go to the office for months.
	Their schools are still closed.
	And they're going to get $1,400 every single week because their kids' school is closed because they live in a democratic city.
	Meanwhile, if you're a single mom trying to wait tables in Chicago and make ends meet, first off, your job has probably been closed.
	And second, you don't get that money because your kids' schools are closed.
	It's grossly unfair.
	It's just this bill is almost entirely a payoff.
	For Democratic constituencies, teachers' unions, state and local employees' unions, federal unions.
	Let's just say there's some divisions inside the Democratic caucus, and I think Chuck Schumer is trying to work through those divisions, and we'll see what happens.
	Hopefully they'll go back through the drawing board and be willing to sit down with us and pass the bill that actually is narrowly tailored and targeted for people who really need relief.

	Investors, the business press, and just ordinary citizens concerned about their 401k accounts are beginning to get worried about inflation.
	For most of my career, I've been talking conservative leaders down from dire predictions of imminent inflation.
	Now I think that inflation is a very real short and midterm risk.
	Last year, the Trump administration borrowed $3.3 trillion, yes, with a T, to fund COVID relief and various stimuli.
	At the end of the year, almost another trillion was agreed to, and now the new president is proposing an additional almost $2 trillion.
	So far, almost all of this new spending has been financed out of the central bank's The Pepperdine Graduate School of Public Policy, impacting policy decisions.
	Hey, everybody.
	I want to re-salute the governors of Texas and Mississippi.
	After a year of lockdown, of ruining untold millions of people's lives, livelihoods, addictions, depression, they have decided to open up their states.
	President of the United States says they are Neanderthals.
	They were always just a few months away.
	Oh, no, no, no, not now.
	Just a few months away.
	It's been a year.
	It's been a year.
	Listen to the science.
	I totally believe in that.
	Listen to scientists.
	What if they're fools?
	What if they're scared?
	What if they love making people scared?
	Which apparently the official bureaucracy of scientists does.
	You will have to wear a mask even after being vaccinated.
	I mean, why is that person not laughed out of public life?
	Any scientist who says that should be dismissed from public life.
	The idiocy of it.
	Oh, get a vaccine!
	But still, you gotta wear a mask.
	Wow.
	Masks work.
	Except when you take them off in an airplane, then we don't need a mask.
	Which is what I believe.
	I don't think you need a mask in an airplane, period.
	It's okay while you eat not to wear a mask, but it's not okay when you don't eat, so wear a mask.
	Abundance of caution.
	The child in the human being doesn't ask, what is the price paid?
	The anger and the lack of human interaction created by masks.
	Masks are vile things in human life.
	Get it?
	Whether it's on a Muslim woman, or it's on a European, American, or any group in the world.
	Face is who you are.
	I'm in Minneapolis.
	I'm speaking tonight in Wisconsin.
	First speech, I've had a number of Zoom speeches, but first speech to a full audience in a year.
	That'll be exciting.
	And I'm driving to the station here, the terrific AM1280, The Patriot.
	I love these people.
	Driving here, I saw, I passed a school kids, unmasked, outdoors playing and laughing.
	Teachers, of course, were masked.
	I don't know exactly why.
	Maybe they thought they'll die from another teacher.
	But if they want to wear masks, what am I going to do?
	But at least the children were at school.
	If I'm not mistaken, I mean, that's what I saw.
	Maybe it's a private school.
	I don't know.
	I'd be very curious.
	I don't know what the situation in every city is.
	But I do salute them.
	The president has contempt for them.
	Yeah, Neanderthal.
	It's progressive to keep people hidden behind masks, including people who have the most profoundly unlikely Possibility of getting it and being hurt by it.
	God, I've lived through...
	We're living...
	I said this before COVID. This is the age of irrationality.
	So much for the Enlightenment.
	The Enlightenment is built on two pillars of absurdity.
	God is unnecessary morally.
	And humans are basically good.
	The two single stupidest ideas if you want to make a moral world.
	Other than that, and I'm not being cute, other than that, the Enlightenment had a lot of great ideas.
	But it was based on two suppositions that make a moral world impossible.
	All right, I want to take your calls because I was busy last hour.
	Let's begin with Janine in Atlanta, Georgia.
	Hello, Janine.
	I can't hear Janine, guys.
	Can we do an uplift on the volume here?
	Sean, is it possible to feed me a...
	Right, but she's...
	Alright, so speak as loudly as you can.
	I'm sorry, Janine.
	Can you hear me now, Janine?
	It's not great.
	Are you speaking right into the phone?
	I am.
	I just wanted to get it, please.
	Alright, it's not great.
	So we'll give it a try, though, because it's a curious...
	Yeah, that's better.
	That's better.
	Go ahead.
	Thank you so much for taking my call.
	I heard...
	Uh-oh.
	All right, you know what?
	I've got to put you on hold.
	We've got to fix this, because I want to hear...
	The reason I'm so anxious to hear this call...
	Last hour, I had a young woman on, a Prager Force member.
	And she's at the high school in Santa Clarita, California, where two students were murdered two years ago by another student who then killed himself.
	And she spoke about how she prayed for someone who was wounded and made sort of an agreement with God that she will be a faithful religious person, in her case Christian.
	If she survives, if I understood this correctly, which she did, and she has maintained her promise.
	And Janine has a different experience.
	Her brother was a Christian, was killed in a school shooting, and she has a different perspective.
	I really need to hear that.
	So see what you guys can do with her, and I will come back to her.
	Barbara in Chicago, hello.
	Sean, are we adjusted here?
	Hello, my name is Barbara.
	Yeah, good.
	That's whom I wanted.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Am I audible, Dennis?
	You are audible.
	Thank you for asking.
	Yep.
	Okay.
	I just told your call screener that I think we're going to see a gradual shift toward widespread homeschooling as people begin to realize what an incredibly...
	Labor-intensive thing education really is.
	We've taken it for granted for so long.
	We've treated it like a commodity that can be bought on the corner like McDonald's, and it really is not that easy to get a decent education by someone who isn't completely twisting your kid's head around.
	So I think that people are quietly, privately going to start realizing that they want to keep their kids at home and teach them the basic arithmetic facts and the basic reading skills.
	And make a decision about what beyond that will be necessary, what kind of social studies later on will be necessary.
	They'll get down to the basics, and women may realize that they need to be in the home educating their kids, and people will start realizing maybe they shouldn't just have so many kids because education is a very precious commodity in reality.
	Wait, wait, I'm sorry, I didn't follow the last point.
	Who shouldn't have so many kids?
	Well, all people will basically decide.
	They may start limiting the number of kids they have because education is a difficult thing to obtain and homeschooling is a difficult thing to do.
	Right.
	The irony is, Barbara, that the people who have the most kids are the most likely to have homeschooling.
	Oh.
	Okay, God bless you.
	It's precisely those people who do that, and they should.
	One of the reasons for hope is that the left doesn't reproduce.
	They don't want to bring children into a systemically racist, corrupt world in which they will die anyway within nine years because of the existential threat of global warming.
	So they don't have kids, which is a blessing because that means that they really believe what they say.
	I've always wondered.
	It's a big question.
	Do people believe the nonsense that they come out with?
	And they do.
	I mean, every 9, 12 years we're told that there's only 12 years left.
	Remember, existential threat means threat to the existence of.
	They don't really mean it.
	In that regard, they're lying.
	Because we've had an existential threat since 1990. Al Gore, I think, wrote his book, Earth and the Balance, in 1990. So we've had existential threats.
	The world has been now 30 years existentially threatened, and basically nothing has happened.
	More people have died of freezing than of heat.
	That's the irony.
	The world is healthier than ever.
	Ever!
	Prior to COVID. Yeah, alright.
	That's his reaction to the governor of Texas.
	We'll see who's right in the long run.
	And where people will move to.
	The trick is to leave a lockdown state and live in a free state.
	The acceptance of Americans of the lockdown has been very disconcerting to me.
	Anyway, Barbara is right about homeschooling, and that is the only answer.
	Why you would send your kid to a regular school today, I understand, because it seems so daunting, an obstacle.
	To have homeschooling.
	I understand that.
	But there are also religious schools and independent charter schools that aren't brainwashing children that actually want to educate them, that actually do believe that there is such a thing as male and female.
	I mean, there are very easy criteria to establish whether the school is indoctrinating or educating.
	Back in a moment.
	All right, so did we fix Janine at all, and...
	Anything going on there?
	What's wrong with her?
	Why is it so?
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Brucker.
	We find out two weeks ago from his assistant on that call to Democrat lawmakers, oh yeah, we hid the evidence from the feds.
	Joe, if you hid the evidence from the feds of a crime, if I did, guess what?
	The feds are on our door at 6 a.m.
	with AR-15s.
	Is this man made of Teflon?
	Is he the new Teflon, Don?
	No, I gotta tell you, honestly, and you know, it's so tough for me now.
	So I talk to you as a Salem brother, you know.
	I try to stick up for the Italians, and I'm getting killed there.
	We got Fauci, we got Pelosi, we got de Blasio, we got Cuomo.
	I'm getting killed over here, my friend.
	I'm just telling you.
	It's gotta be tough.
	And I want to say something nice about Dr. Fauci.
	Boom!
	They'll call them.
	Everybody calls them.
	Tell me what's up.
	And with Andrew, though, he is a political animal along the lines, the old-world political animal.
	And I mean that he's very savvy.
	He's Nancy Pelosi.
	He's Chuck Schumer.
	You may not like these people.
	They are vicious when it comes to politics.
	You know that.
	So I don't think you ever count them out.
	I think, I'm telling you what, even with all those nursing home deaths and the hearts go out to every family.
	Janice Dean.
	Yes.
	Can you get more of a sweet person than Janice Dean?
	How great is she?
	And what she had to go through, that alone.
	I think Andrew owes an apology for that as well.
	I'm amazed that they didn't.
	That's the point.
	Where's his apology to the families, to the loved ones like Janice Dean?
	Peter, is there a crisis on the border?
	No, there is.
	There isn't a crisis.
	There are five crises.
	There's a humanitarian crisis, public health crisis, economic crisis, national security crisis, and a law enforcement crisis.
	And when I say an economic crisis, by that I mean we're having an influx of illegal immigrants that's going to harm the job prospects of millions of people who are currently unemployed because of the pandemic in addition to other things, and they're going to be competing with those folks.
	As far as national security is concerned, whenever you don't enforce the border, you don't know who's coming across.
	And ISIS said, and Department of Homeland Security has said a number of times that they've found all manner of folk coming across the border, Iranians, Chinese, and others, and we don't have a handle on that right now.
	It's a law enforcement crisis because all the data shows that with respect to serious crimes, murders, rapes, robberies, illegal aliens generally have higher crime rates than do Native Americans.
	As far as public health is concerned, it's self-evident.
	We have to have proof that we are COVID-free when we enter the United States, okay, lawfully, on a plane or through the traditional entry process.
	But thousands of illegal immigrants are coming across.
	We don't even know who's coming across, but we're waving them across without any COVID tests.
	They could be transmitting COVID or other diseases.
	We don't have a handle on that.
	They have pretty much declared that they can come across.
	There's an amnesty.
	They'll get free health care.
	This entices a lot of people to make an arduous journey be exploited by the cartels, by coyotes.
	This is reprehensible what's happening.
	There's one objective here.
	We all know what the objective is.
	The principal immediate objective is turn Texas blue.

	Dennis Prager here.
	Let's see if we're clear.
	By the way, I now have to make an announcement.
	Your phone connection is not clear.
	I won't keep the call on.
	It is not fair to millions of people to have to strain to hear a caller.
	So you must speak into your phone.
	I'm asking all screeners to make sure that the call is clear or we can't put it on.
	I don't understand why there are so many faint calls.
	I don't understand it.
	I talk to people on the phone.
	I almost never have an issue of, I can barely hear you.
	So I don't know what it is, but it is, and it's not fair to the listeners.
	I really want this call from Janine in Atlanta.
	She called back.
	Let's hope that it's clear.
	Hi, Janine.
	Hi, Dennis.
	Can you hear me better now?
	Yeah, it's not great, but I hear you better.
	Go ahead.
	Okay, great.
	Thank you so much for taking my call.
	And I just by chance today heard the young woman who was on earlier talking about a school shooting and she was so poised and I really appreciated everything she said and that discussion was very worthwhile.
	I wanted to call in and actually talk about what happened to my brother.
	My brother was killed in a school shooting in 2001. And he was a professor at Pacific Lutheran University in Washington State.
	And I was listening to the young lady that called earlier and how it affected her and what she said about her faith and how it actually made her a Christian.
	And that was a very powerful statement.
	What happened to me was actually the opposite.
	My brother was an amazing Christian, just had always been a devout Christian his whole life.
	And the effect his death had on me and how he died actually cost me my faith for the next 10 years.
	And that sounds really, you know, that sounds really nonsensical, but that is what happened.
	Well, it doesn't sound nonsensical at all.
	I will comment.
	Neither that wonderful young woman nor your theology is my theology.
	I don't believe God has any responsibility to protect me from evil.
	It doesn't even occur to me, and I am a deeply religious, God-believing Bible commentator.
	I don't understand why people believe this.
	In light of the fact that millions have been killed who are decent people, why God will protect you because you believe in Him is so irrational to me that I just don't relate.
	That people believe it, and there are wonderful people who do.
	God bless them.
	It makes no sense to me to walk around thinking God will protect you from all evil.
	I do not even understand why people think that way.
	God is not a butler.
	You know, I hear you, and I think it's because of the way we were raised that God will protect you, that God will always protect you.
	And, you know, in church and Sunday school and our families and our grandparents, parents, everybody, and that's just what you hear.
	You know, we heard our whole lives.
	I know.
	I agree with you.
	I do believe you've heard that your whole lives.
	And then you suffer, and then you become an atheist.
	That's what happened to you for ten years.
	I think it was mainly internally.
	I didn't really tell anyone that.
	I'm sorry, I didn't follow.
	It was what?
	I think that I didn't really become an atheist.
	I was very, very confused.
	And more than anything, very angry.
	And then...
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Angry at God.
	Angry at God.
	Angry at God more than the murderer.
	Angry at God more than the murderer, if that makes any sense.
	And I know it doesn't.
	It makes perfect sense.
	It does.
	To preface this, I just want to say that when...
	In a traumatic situation like that, you're completely out of your mind.
	And it's not something that is just a short-term situation.
	I can say for several years, you know, my level of anger was so intense.
	And the only person...
	I'm not saying it makes any sense, it doesn't.
	The person I was angriest at was God.
	Because Jimmy, my brother's name was Dr. James Holloway.
	But to us, he was Jimmy.
	Jimmy was this devout Christian all his life.
	I had spoken with him the night before.
	We had the most amazing conversation about grace.
	And he was telling me, you have to accept the grace that God has given you to deal with this situation.
	And the situation was that our grandmother was in the hospital in a coma.
	And I was with her for the whole week taking care of her.
	And I was putting her in a nursing home that day.
	The day that he was killed, I put her in a nursing home.
	And he was helping me to make the decisions on what to do.
	And I was so upset.
	I was just crying about it.
	And he said, you have to accept the grace that God has given you to deal with this.
	And it was just the most wonderful conversation.
	Well, he sounds like, obviously, and he was.
	A wonderful human being, a wonderful Christian.
	I...
	Almost everyone I know who believed that their religiosity, Jew and Christian, it's not just a Christian issue, that God will protect them from major tragedy, that God will protect them from major tragedy.
	When a major tragedy occurred, A potentially and sometimes devastating effect on their faith.
	So, we have to figure out why people believe that.
	Alright, we shall continue.

	Now let me go to this $1.9 trillion bill.
	The Wall Street Journal today included something that made me stand up and say, huh?
	The parliamentarian on Monday, the Senate parliamentarian, ruled in favor of Democrats including health care subsidies for laid-off workers and support for multi-employer pensions.
	All I want to know, Senator Cotton, do multi-employer pensions include...
	State pension funds, which are vastly underfunded, not because of COVID, but because of 30 years of purposeful underfunding of pension liabilities.
	Well, Hugh, it wouldn't surprise if they do.
	I haven't seen what the Senate is proposing yet, because Chuck Schumer is keeping it under lock and key, but we've seen what's in the House bill.
	Less than a dime out of every dollar will go for coronavirus relief.
	This is about Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer paying off Democratic clients and patrons.
	Look, $350 billion for states and local governments.
	That is going to be distributed in a way that favors poorly run Democratic states.
	States, by the way, that in many cases haven't even lost revenue over last year.
	The New York Times has a big story about that today.
	Likewise, they're going to give $130 billion to teachers unions.
	Only 5% of that money is going to go for education this year when schools need to reopen and start educating their kids.
	Did you know, Hugh, did you know, Hugh, that federal employees whose schools are closed, which is, say, for the most part, federal employees in Democratic-run states, We're going to get a weekly subsidy for childcare.
	So all you poor working stiffs across America are only going to get $1,400 once under the Democratic bill.
	Federal employees whose kids' schools are closed are going to get that $1,400, and then they're going to get $1,400 every single week if this bill passes for three months.

	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Bercat.
	He's Andrew Cuomo.
	He's like a mafia, Don.
	He doesn't go out of anywhere unless it's in a box.
	Tell us, what's the truth, Joe Piscopo?
	You know, Seth, he is.
	He's the Terminator of politics.
	He really is.
	He'll be back.
	I'll be back, you know?
	And then, I love that everybody's making the mafia references because he's Italian.
	I don't get offended by it, but he's like the Sollozzo character, remember?
	Yes, Virgil Sollozzo!
	I don't like violence.
	Michael is bad for business, you know?
	Or how about this line?
	You want to see Governor Cuomo say, that's the bad news for me and bad news for you.
	It's like a character, however.
	Can either of you give me more volume?
	That might have been the issue with the caller.
	It is very rare that I have a politician as a guest, not because I have anything against politicians at all, obviously.
	Some of them are great, and they are needed.
	But it's just not the nature of my show, and also I have a fear that if I have this senator or this representative or this governor, then why don't I have this senator or this representative or that governor?
	So if I make an exception, There's got to be a very good reason, and there is a very good reason here, because the senator I'm about to talk to has the rarest of all the good traits of the human species, and that is courage.
	Combined with a first-class mind, we have a very powerful force for good in Wisconsin's Senator Ron Johnson.
	So now that I've thoroughly embarrassed you with all this praise, Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Well, Dennis, yes, I'm blushing, but you're not really breaking precedent.
	I don't view myself as a politician.
	I'm not a big fan of those folks either.
	I view myself as a citizen legislature, so hopefully that's an important distinction.
	That's a great answer.
	I'm totally on board with you.
	Out of curiosity, Wisconsin is generally considered a...
	A Democrat stronghold, if I'm not mistaken.
	How do you explain your election?
	Well, first of all, I kind of stepped up the plate during the Tea Party movement in 2010 and really ran as part of that movement.
	I still consider myself more Tea Party than Republican Party, but I recognize that of the two parties, and we have a two-party system, it's worked quite well.
	You've got to join one, and I certainly align myself with Republicans and conservatism pretty strongly.
	But, you know, Wisconsin, we're pretty well split down the middle.
	This year, although President Trump lost by 20,000 votes, he got 130,000 more votes than I got, and I was the previous record holder in terms of statewide Republican.
	But the combined vote for Republican congressional candidates as well as for Republican state assembly candidates was 1.661 million votes.
	They outvoted, outpolled President Trump by about 51,000 votes.
	So we're pretty well neck and neck.
	The most votes any Democrat ever got was President Obama with about 1,677,000.
	So we're right up there.
	That's one of the things I've been pushing is trickle-up elections.
	Make sure you have Republicans on every line on the ballot.
	It's those local elections that, first of all, can change our culture.
	I mean, that's how the left took control of our education system.
	Republicans don't concentrate on the school boards and city councils and county boards, and we have to start doing that.
	It'll have benefits up the ballot for statewide offices as well.
	Well, I watched you on C-SPAN, I believe it was, when you conducted the hearing on ivermectin and had these doctors on.
	It was very distressing to me that only one other Republican attended the session.
	Any thoughts on that?
	Well, when my colleagues see how I'm getting vilified in the press for holding an original hearing which focused more on hydroxychloroquine because that's the doctors, the eminent doctors that have the courage and compassion to actually treat COVID patients unlike the Democrat witness.
	Dr. Jha, who's never treated a COVID patient, probably wouldn't touch one of the 10-foot pole because he doesn't want to get infected himself.
	When they saw how I got excoriated by the press, the New York Times article called me, and doctors, sales or snake oil salesmen in the Senate.
	So they see that kind of vilification.
	They don't really want to draw the fire on themselves.
	But the second hearing...
	That doesn't bother me.
	I just plow forward when I think something's important.
	I think early treatment can save lives.
	I think we've probably lost tens of thousands of Americans because our government agencies didn't focus on early treatment.
	But the hearing on ivermectin, Dr. Pierre Corey, his opening testimony, which was powerful, got more than 8 million views before YouTube pulled it down.
	Think of that.
	I mean, people actually are interested in early treatment, and I think people have...
	Enough intelligence to discern what they want to try, the risk they want to take, and do that evaluation.
	Do I want to risk having my COVID progress to the point where I have to go in the hospital?
	Should I give something a shot that is really perfectly safe and prescribed billions of times a year?
	Oh my God.
	I was one of the millions to watch that.
	I did not know you two pulled it down.
	Please hold on with me, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.
	This is a gem in our American political system, ladies and gentlemen.
	And we'll continue in a moment.
	My chance to tell you about one of the greatest products I've ever advertised, Relief Factor.
	I divide pain, if I may be my usual philosophical, between necessary and gratuitous.
	There's necessary pain in life.
	Everything worthwhile has pain.
	But gratuitous pain is when your muscles hurt, your joints hurt, and there's no benefit to it.
	It doesn't come from a good thing.
	I lower the pain and everyone I know who uses it does so with relief factor.
	Go to relieffactor.com, read about this product, then give it a three-week try because they say you will know in three weeks if it works.
	Pretty honest, eh?
	$19.95 for three weeks.

	Investors, the business press, and just ordinary citizens concerned about their 401k accounts are beginning to get worried about inflation.
	For most of my career, I've been talking conservative leaders down from dire predictions of imminent inflation.
	Now, I think that inflation is a very real short and midterm risk.
	Last year, the Trump administration borrowed $3.3 trillion.
	Yes, with a T. To fund COVID relief and various stimuli.
	At the end of the year, almost another trillion was agreed to.
	And now the new president is proposing an additional almost two trillion.
	So far, almost all of this new spending has been financed out of the central bank's creation of new monetary base.
	In other words, we printed the money we spent.
	Inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
	The Fed is giving us too much money And the low-growth Biden economy will provide too few goods.
	And Americans are right to be concerned.

	Now let me go to this $1.9 trillion bill.
	The Wall Street Journal today included something that made me stand up and say, huh?
	The parliamentarian on Monday, the Senate parliamentarian, ruled in favor of Democrats, including health care subsidies for laid-off workers and support for multi-employer pensions.
	All I want to know, Senator Cotton...
	Do multi-employer pensions include state pension funds, which are vastly underfunded, not because of COVID, but because of 30 years of purposeful underfunding of pension liabilities?
	Well, Hugh, it wouldn't surprise if they do.
	I haven't seen what the Senate is proposing yet, because Chuck Schumer is keeping it under lock and key, but we've seen what's in the House bill.
	Less than a dime out of every dollar will go for coronavirus relief.
	This is about Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer paying off.
	Democratic clients and patrons.
	Look, $350 billion for states and local governments that is going to be distributed in a way that favors poorly run Democratic states.
	States, by the way, that in many cases haven't even lost revenue over last year.
	The New York Times has a big story about that today.
	Likewise, they're going to give $130 billion to teachers unions.
	Only 5% of that money is going to go for education this year.
	When schools need to reopen and start educating their kids.
	Did you know, Hugh, did you know, Hugh, that federal employees whose schools are closed, which is, say, for the most part, federal employees in Democratic-run states, are going to get a weekly subsidy for childcare.
	So all you poor working stiffs across America are only going to get $1,400 once under the Democratic bill.
	Employees whose kids' schools are closed are going to get that $1,400, and then they're going to get $1,400 every...
	single week if this bill passes for three months.
	He's Andrew Cuomo.
	He's like a mafia Don.
	He doesn't go out of anywhere unless it's in a box.
	Tell us, what's the truth, Joe Piscopo?
	You know, Seb, he is.
	He's the terminator of politics.
	He really is.
	He'll be back.
	I'll be back.
	And then I love everybody's making the mafia references because he's Italian.
	I don't get offended by it, but he's like the Sollozzo character.
	Remember?
	Yes!
	Virgil Sollozzo!
	I don't like violence.
	Michael is bad for business, you know?
	Or how about this line?
	You want to see Governor Garbo say that the bad news for me and bad news for you.
	My guest is the remarkable senator from the state of Wisconsin.
	Ironically, I'm speaking in Wisconsin, so the senator's in Washington, and I'll be in Wisconsin tonight.
	It's an irony.
	And it's my first speech to an actual audience in a year, and Wisconsin will remain etched in my memory.
	For this extremely important panel that is now visible, or...
	Yeah, visible is the word, I guess.
	One can see it at C-SPAN. I watched it.
	Millions, you said 8 million people watched it.
	Many more should.
	We could have saved untold numbers of lives with hydroxychloroquine and zinc and ivermectin, and that's the hearing.
	You were vilified for that, and...
	I asked you why there was only one other Republican senator at your hearing.
	There were no Democrats, to the best of my knowledge, which is an astonishing thing when it comes to saving vast numbers of lives.
	So here's a theory.
	I'd like you to get your reaction.
	I say this very often to people.
	You have a choice.
	You could either fear God or fear the New York Times.
	Any thought about that?
	Yeah, well, first of all, I don't fear the New York Times.
	Saul Alinsky approach that the Democrats, the radical left, have adopted.
	Unfortunately, it works quite well.
	They isolate their target, and then they do everything they can to destroy them.
	And when you see that happen time and time again, there's reluctance then to get into the fray.
	But, you know, Dennis, when I ran in 2010, I told the folks in Wisconsin, and you said, you know, how can somebody like me be elected, and also Tammy Baldwin?
	First of all, Wisconsinites just have some common sense.
	And the two promises I made back then, and I maintained these, is I'll never vote my re-election in mind.
	I'm happy to go home.
	I love my old life.
	I'm not a big fan of this place.
	But the other one is I always tell you the truth.
	And so that's what I've been attempting to do, whether it's on the corrupt investigation, first the mid-year exam on the Hillary Clinton email scandal that was meant to cover up and exonerate rather than uncover the truth and prosecute, and then the corrupt investigation into the Russian hoax.
	You know, the Hunter Biden corruption.
	So I just keep trying to develop information on important issues like early treatment and tell the truth, and you get vilified for it.
	I mean, they are out to destroy us.
	So now, currently, I'm trying to tell the truth, find out what the truth was of what the left wants to call an armed insurrection.
	Of course, yesterday we just revealed that there weren't any firearms confiscated.
	Again, not to downplay the violence, I condemn it.
	And the harm you can do, because BLM and Antifa certainly showed us the harm you can do with flagpoles and, you know, metal pieces of fencing and that kind of stuff.
	But telling the truth is not something the swamp wants.
	They want to keep covering it up.
	And, you know, we were probing the deep state, and the deep state strikes back.
	They have all kinds of tools.
	President Trump found that out as well.
	It's such a relief to have a man like you in the Senate, because wanting to tell the truth is the antithesis to the swamp.
	I want to tell you, I did not know, and this may be really not complimentary to me, but I did not know until the last couple of years that there was such a swamp.
	In Washington.
	I did not think that the upper levels of the FBI, CIA, CDC were as corrupt as they are.
	Was it, to you, a revelation?
	Absolutely.
	When we started digging into, again, my investigation started with the Hillary Clinton email scandal, and we couldn't get information.
	And we see how she was exonerated in that same cast of characters.
	I got skewered by saying it didn't surprise me to hear the term secret society.
	Well, in effect, that's what they had.
	They had this little cabal going that transferred into the Russian hoax.
	And then during our investigations, we had to subpoena the FBI. We never got what we should have gotten from the FBI. And I've been told, you know, they just slow-walked you.
	I mean, I knew they were slow-walking us, but we have no way to really enforce the subpoena.
	And so they know that as well.
	So the agencies in the deep—that's why I, through all caution, abandoned all caution, I started calling it what it was.
	It is a deep state.
	These are bureaucrats that are entrenched.
	Administrations come and go.
	By and large, they are lined with Democrats, liberal, progressive, Marxists.
	That's who's in our government agencies.
	And so they struck back hard against a political disruptor like President Trump.
	Quite honestly, he never had a— Chance of draining the swamp, not in four years.
	I think it was getting close with people like Rick Grinnell.
	You know, we were starting to uncover some things.
	I think we could have done, we could have uncovered this in four years, in the next four years.
	We never got the chance.
	I mean, I can't tell you how frustrating that is to me.
	The swamp won.
	The deep state won.
	And now we're seeing the results as they tried out this $1.9 trillion bill even though we haven't spent a trillion dollars.
	As they start reversing all the good policies to secure the border that President Trump had enacted, again, I'm not a very uplifting character.
	I'm sorry about that, because I see what's actually happening now, and it frightens me.
	That's why you're on this show.
	I so admire you for acknowledging that.
	If I could have you one more segment, I know everybody would benefit.
	Senator Ron Johnson, to use John F. Kennedy's, This is a profile in courage.
	You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.
	Trending now on The Mike Dellinger Show.
	As the Wall Street Journal editorial board points out, the Biden-Harris administration has changed to full-throated encouragement, though not before continuing to trash the Trump efforts.
	The White House is saying, you just heard Biden.
	Oh, the previous administration didn't contract for enough vaccine.
	We fixed all that.
	That's a lie.
	As the Wall Street Journal points out, The supply was ramping up very quickly.
	The real problem was the last mile of distribution controlled by the states.
	Governors like Cuomo tried to satisfy political constituencies that wanted early access to vaccines, adding complexity and bureaucracy that confused the public.
	Biden made the same mistake, asking states to give priority to educators, read teachers' unions, School staffers and childcare workers.
	That's arbitrary and unfair.
	A 30-year-old teacher who may still work remotely until September is at far less risk than a 50-year-old FedEx driver who interacts with customers all day.
	As the Wall Street Journal points out, the fairest, least political distribution standard is age.
	Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed also contracted most of the vaccine supply for production before approval by the FDA.
	200 million doses each of Pfizer and Moderna and 100 million of Johnson & Johnson.

	You see, the story of the nursing homes is actually a very complicated story.
	The nursing home story is one that we warned about on this program and the great one Mark Levin warned about back in March.
	I remember listening to the Mark Levin radio program.
	And a woman called into the great ones radio show and said, Mark, I work for a nursing home association and Andrew Cuomo.
	He's now ordering Chinese coronavirus-infected patients to be put into nursing homes.
	And at the time, Andrew Cuomo was doing his multi-hour, slow, daily briefings.
	Mark Levin asked the caller, this can't possibly be true, and Janice Dean...
	Who works for Fox News claims that both of her parents were killed as a result of this policy.
	Let's also get the tape of Janice Dean.
	So this was a scandal that we knew was occurring.
	me.
	I'm going to ask you a question and you're certainly free not to answer it.
	Can you single out anybody or any persons who are allies of yours in the House or the Senate?
	Oh, sure.
	There's a bunch of good people here.
	There really are.
	I mean, currently, the folks are really sticking with me on standing up and making sure that we vote on all the amendments on this awful $1.9 billion bill.
	People like Mike Lee, Rick Scott.
	But I've already got, I think, 24 of my colleagues that have signed up to the effort to make sure that we actually deliberate.
	On this awful $1.9 trillion package.
	They're great members in the House.
	I mean, obviously, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs.
	I mean, there's a host of people.
	But listen, there are good people that want to do good things in Washington, D.C. It's just the fact that you've got this massive government that is just on autopilot, and it's run by bureaucrats, and most of those bureaucrats, or many of those bureaucrats, come from the liberal side of the political spectrum.
	And so they oppose a Republican president.
	And they're all in with the Democrat president, and it's just incredibly frustrating for us.
	And when liberals get full power like this, government just continues to ratchet up in size, and it's very difficult to ratchet it back.
	If it weren't for the media, I'm just reading a piece in the New York Times about the bill and how Republicans opposing it really show that they don't care for the blue-collar worker, when, of course, It's a lie what the man wrote in the New York Times.
	Your opposition is not for helping workers.
	Your opposition is for bailing out democratic governments and constituencies.
	That's what half this bill is about.
	Well, and not further mortgaging our kids' future.
	I mean, we've already appropriated $4 trillion.
	I think that shows we care, okay?
	But we're $28 trillion in debt.
	I went on the floor of the Senate.
	Here's an analogy of a trillion dollars and 1.9 trillion.
	If you stack up dollar bills, 1.9 trillion of them, it reaches more than halfway to the moon.
	130,000 miles high.
	And that's what they want to vote on and pass in like 30 or 35 hours.
	Jam it through.
	We haven't even seen it.
	I've got to go down and vote now on the motion to proceed.
	I'm going to vote no, but they'll win this vote.
	And they'll end up spending $1.9 trillion and not even think anything about it.
	The writer for the New York Times doesn't think anything about the fact that we're $28 trillion in debt.
	That's right.
	That's eight stacks of a trillion dollars going up to the moon.
	Eight stacks.
	All right.
	Senator Johnson, I will tell the audience in Wisconsin, not that you need it, what a great senator they have tonight.
	Thank you so much.
	I hope we do it again.
	Have a great day.
	Stay healthy.
