	Thank you.
	Good Friday to you.
	I'm Dennis Prager.
	I'm coming to you from Southern California.
	I will be in Florida next week for a couple of days.
	They will be opening up restaurants, apparently, next week after most of the year.
	Most of the year.
	Not open, not even outside much of the time, to 25% capacity.
	That means, in the cruelty that is part of Democratic Party governance, that means that if you own a restaurant in California,
	And certainly in populated areas like I live in Los Angeles County, you are permitted by the grace, not of the Lord, but of the government, you are permitted to earn a maximum of 25% of your normal income.
	You will be allowed 25% seating capacity.
	Oh, I take it back.
	You can do takeout.
	25%.
	Thank you.
	Airplanes are allowed 100%.
	Not six feet from the other diner, but six inches from the other diner.
	However, Delta and United and American have a lot more clout than your local restaurant for whom the progressives have contempt.
	They do.
	The entrepreneur is not a positive term for the progressives, among the progressives.
	That's it.
	By the way, I have to tell you, it's a somewhat depressing experience to sit in a restaurant, and three-quarters of it is empty.
	Now, if it's empty because it's off hours, it's fine.
	But if it's empty because it's done by government edict, it's not fine.
	Talking about government edicts, I'm going to review President Joe Biden, who apparently has gone the longest a president has gone from inauguration.
	Did you hear that?
	This, to me, gives you an idea of the callousness.
	That's the perfect word.
	Ah, do you know hitting the perfect word is one of the great joys of life?
	The callousness of the Democratic Party and the left, which it serves.
	NBC Los Angeles Food for Less and two Los Angeles Ralph's stores, Ralph's is a major supermarket chain here, to close in May.
	The Kroger Company announced three-store closing in Los Angeles following an earlier decision to close a Ralph's and a Food for Less in Long Beach.
	Now, why would that be?
	The move follows the Los Angeles City Council's grocery store workers' hero pay vote on March 3rd.
	That's an ordinance that requires large grocery and pharmacy retailers to offer employees an additional $5 per hour in hazard pay amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
	So you see, it worked!
	We are forcing you.
	I don't know what right they have.
	The whole thing.
	It is so amazing.
	We are going to tell private companies how much they have to pay their workers.
	They may not be able, and they will close, and the workers will be then unemployed, but we don't care.
	That's what I mean, the callousness.
	The left lives.
	To feel good about itself.
	This is the self-esteem movement as a monster.
	Self-esteem movement was founded by a liberal Democrat, John Vasconcelos, I think in the 1980s, as a member of the California State Senate.
	So this is it.
	I feel good about giving people working in markets, supermarkets, I feel good about forcing the supermarkets to give them more money.
	The supermarkets cannot afford it and they will shut down.
	We don't care.
	Same with the minimum wage.
	The whole idea of a national minimum wage is callous.
	It is saying to people in Mississippi where the standard of living is much lower.
	I should say the cost of living.
	I shouldn't say the standard of living.
	I think the standard of life is higher in Mississippi than in New York.
	I truly believe that.
	But the standard of income is lower.
	So you are telling Mississippi restaurants you have to pay what New York restaurants pay.
	New York restaurants charge far more money and are better capable of handling those payments.
	So what?
	So what?
	We feel good about ourselves because we did two things.
	We raised the minimum wage of workers, so we feel we are moral.
	And second, that's what the unions told us to do, which is all the Democratic Party does, is what...
	Unions tell them to do.
	I was told this by the most prominent Democrat in California about 20 years ago.
	I will not mention his name because I promised him I wouldn't.
	And that's the way it works.
	So there'll be fewer stores.
	The number of store closures is frightening.
	All right, I would like you to hear some of Joe Biden's speech.
	Let us begin with Cut 79. Denials for days, weeks, then months.
	That led to more deaths, more infections, more stress, and more loneliness.
	Okay, a couple of things.
	First, it's a pretty common thing that presidents blame the previous presidents.
	So this is...
	I don't care that he does it.
	I care that he gives this facade of I am above this disunity talk.
	What were the denials of months?
	What did President Trump deny for months?
	They never specify.
	It is the world of generalizations without examples.
	I give generalizations all the time and always with examples.
	Now wait a minute though.
	That led to more deaths, more infections, more stress, and more loneliness.
	No, the lockdown led to more stress and more loneliness.
	I don't think that the denials led to more deaths.
	The states that had the most deaths were in the least denial.
	But it's been a phenomenon of the last year.
	What's been blamed on COVID and not been blamed on the lockdown?
	COVID does not cause loneliness.
	Lockdowns have caused loneliness.
	Severe, I might add.
	Number 80. So many of you have had to make that same walk this past year.
	You lost your job.
	You closed your business.
	Facing eviction, homelessness, hunger, a loss of control, maybe worst of all, a loss of hope.
	Watching a generation of children who may be set back up to a year or more because they've not been in school because of their loss of learning.
	Right, exactly.
	All caused by the lockdown.
	It's just a world of make-believe.
	The world of the left is a world of make-believe.
	It was caused by the lockdown, the greatest mistake in history, and more and more people realize it.
	I said that in March or April.
	I was roundly vilified for it, but it turned out right.
	Then he is going to speak.
	Well, I won't give the plot away.
	Mr. Unity will have more disuniting ideas for us in a moment.
	In the meantime, go to my website, click on our cruise for June and the Israel trip for October, and you will be a happier human being coming with me.

	Trending now on the Mike Deliger Show. . .
	For all of the hysteria of Trump haters, For four years, ranting and raving about, you know, mean Donald Trump and he's unconventional and he's not presidential.
	Do you think anybody worried about his mental competency?
	They didn't, you know.
	And yet about half the nation is worried that Joe Biden...
	is physically and mentally not up to the job.
	Did you hear about the Rasmussen Reports survey that came out this week?
	50% of Americans in the Rasmussen poll say they're not confident that Joe Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being president of the United States.
	I just want to thank you both, and I want to thank the former general.
	I keep calling him general.
	The guy who runs that outfit over there.
	I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he's done to try to implement what we just talked about and for recommending these two women for promotion.
	34%, only 34% of the Rasmussen poll survey, 34% are very confident that he's up to the job.
	So, you know, a third of Americans are very confident he's up to the job.
	Half say he's not physically and mentally up to it.
	52% of likely voters are concerned that he hasn't held a press conference.
	He hasn't had a press conference yet.
	He has not had a solo press conference yet.
	You know why?
	Well, you know why.

	It's gotta be somebody who's alive.
	Who would you put in there?
	Would you put somebody who'd...
	Battled the COVID virus.
	Somebody who'd been the face of that.
	Not doctor.
	I prefer to call her Colonel Birx.
	Do you remember her?
	Scarf lady!
	Would you put her in the Women's Hall of Fame?
	Or would you put an anonymous frontline health worker?
	Or somebody who helped develop one of the three vaccines from Operation Warp Speed, the fastest development in human history of a vaccine for a deadly international pandemic.
	Well, if those were your suggestions, you would be wrong, eh?
	The National Women's Hall of Fame has chosen, for this year, Dr. Michelle Obama for her massive contributions.
	Um, to...
	I don't know.
	Okay, enough of that story.
	What can we do?
	Can we do it, Nancy?
	Let's do it, Nancy.
	Oh, I like that.
	That is a good one.
	Let's keep that shut.
	I like that.
	That was a good sign.
	What an absurd decision.
	Her contribution to being angry?
	I don't know.
	Her contribution to being married to one of the laziest presidents in American history?
	Great.
	Give her a little statue.
	Give her a little plaque and an engraved name on some wall somewhere.
	It's actually in Seneca Falls.
	That's why they decide these things.

	A word about Nerve Renew.
	You wouldn't have known this because I never talked about it until Nerve Renew.
	But I lived with nerve pain in my feet for most of my adult life.
	Both feet.
	About a year and a half ago, I discovered a product called Nerve Renew.
	Using it for about a year to my shock.
	I threw away my shoe inserts, which had been very helpful, I might add.
	I then reached out to the company directly and offered to endorse their product.
	So if you suffer from pins and needles, tingling, or burning in your hands and feet, give Nerve Renew a try.
	It has worked for me, and it has over 300,000 customers over the last 10 years.
	Now, I've never seen such confidence.
	They are so confident about their product, they offer a two-week trial and a one-year money-back guarantee.

	That's nerverenew.com.
	Let's continue with President Biden's speech.
	Ask.
	The easiest thing to do to save lives, sometimes it divides us.
	States pit it against one another instead of working with each other.
	Vicious hate crimes against Asian Americans who've been attacked, harassed, blamed, and scapegoated.
	At this very moment, so many of them are fellow Americans.
	They're on the front lines of this pandemic trying to save lives.
	And still, still, they're forced to live in fear for their lives just walking down streets in America.
	It's wrong, it's un-American, and it must stop.
	So I would like to know...
	Look...
	Wait a minute, hold on.
	Are Asian Americans, he is, after all, saying basically all, do they walk in fear for their lives walking down the street?
	If so, there's a genuine crisis in this country.
	I fully acknowledge that.
	That would be horrific.
	I think he's lying.
	Okay?
	Let me state it outright.
	Asian Americans are not, as a rule, walking down the street fearful that they will be murdered.
	Now, I don't know, he didn't mention the use of the word Wuhan virus, which is what it was called at the very beginning, until the media got a hold of it.
	Yes.
	Still, they're forced to live in fear for their lives just walking down streets in America.
	Well, this is what the left does.
	There's always another evil to conquer.
	Even if we have to make it up.
	Like LeBron James, right?
	He wakes up in the morning, he doesn't know whether he'll live that day.
	Will a policeman kill him?
	I can only say, it's a great rabbinic aphorism.
	The reward of a good deed is the good deed.
	And I'll add, the punishment of a sin Is that you live with it.
	Not guilt.
	These people don't feel guilty.
	But if LeBron James really does wake up every day in fear for his life, then he has earned his paranoia.
	He has punished himself.
	Asian Americans, you didn't know that, did you?
	Takes Joe Biden to...
	Awaken us to another way in which white America is scumbags.
	Why didn't he just say that?
	Hey, white America, you're scumbags, and God bless America.
	I would like to know how many have been killed.
	I mean, in order to fear for your life as a member of a group, a lot of your group has to have been killed.
	Continue, please.
	We know what we need to do to beat this virus.
	Tell the truth.
	Follow the scientists and the science.
	Work together.
	Put trust and faith in our government to fulfill its most important function, which is protecting the American people.
	No function more important.
	We need to remember the government isn't some foreign force in a distant capital.
	No, it's us.
	All of us.
	We the people.
	There you go.
	If I had to choose one line, that would have been it.
	The government is us.
	That's how the left thinks.
	We the people.
	We the people is not the issue.
	Could you find the...
	I know, Sean, that you have played this when the Democratic Party convention said the one thing all Americans have in common is the government.
	Shall we move on, or can you find it in a...
	Alright, fine.
	So look it up, and we'll try to play it later.
	I know we've played it since.
	I don't remember which convention it was, but I was there.
	Democratic National Convention.
	And they showed a video, and in it they said, the one thing all Americans have in common is the government.
	2012?
	That's right.
	That's the way they think.
	This is an amazing thing.
	Put trust and faith in our government.
	The government isn't some foreign force in a distant capital.
	No, it's us.
	All of us.
	The government is us.
	The founders of this country had complete skepticism vis-a-vis the government.
	That is why it made it so difficult for the government to do anything.
	Checks by the Congress on the presidency.
	Checks by the court on the Congress.
	Just checks, checks, checks.
	They didn't even believe in the majority rule.
	That's why they made an electoral college.
	This was deliberate.
	They don't want the mob to win.
	Boy, they were like prophets, the founders.
	I love them.
	I love them.
	One more time.
	I love them.
	When you compare the Bidens and the AOCs and the Schumers and the Pelosi's to the Madison's and the Adams and the Washington's and the Jefferson's, I mean, it's like a different species.
	And yes, I feel that the government has been put in...
	What is his words?
	What are his words?
	Some foreign force in a distant capital.
	That's correct.
	You have described my view of the government.

	about Disney Plus that I think I've ever seen in my life.
	If this doesn't completely sum up where we are as a country in 2021, nothing does.
	Disney Plus is enormously successful.
	Everybody wanted to get it.
	Remember when Hamilton started streaming on Disney Plus and people ordered Disney Plus for that?
	Get all the Disney movies, all the classics, you know, Peter Pan, Swiss Family Robinson, all the things.
	And I'm a Disney guy.
	We all, my family and I, we're Disney people.
	Well, we can't watch necessarily Swiss Family Robinson, Peter Pan, Dumbo, the Aristocats.
	If we have children under seven, it's banned.
	Like somebody over the New York Post called it, it's more like Disney minus.
	Listen to this.
	Disney Plus has decided to go whole hog and drop a number of once beloved, now controversial movies from their children's menu.
	Children under seven.
	are going to be forbidden from watching Dumbo, Peter Pan, Swiss Family Robinson, and the Aristocats.
	Settings on the app will prevent the movies from even showing up on the profiles of children under seven.
	Children under seven can't handle Dumbo.

	The liberal media is saying that the Republicans blew their chance to defeat the COVID bill by not arguing the specifics, instead arguing Dr. Seuss.
	How do you respond to that?
	And then which specifics do you think are going to become the key reminders of how bad the COVID bill is?
	That you refer to it as a COVID bill, because it's far from a COVID bill.
	This bill is just paying off a lot of Democratic clients and patrons, like public employee unions and teachers unions, and fulfilling a lot of longstanding Democratic wish lists.
	But the Democrats cast some amazing votes Friday night, Saturday morning to you.
	They voted to continue giving stimulus checks to prisoners.
	People like the Boston Marathon bomber, and Harvey Weinstein for that matter.
	They voted to give money to cities and states that remain sanctuary jurisdictions to protect criminal illegal aliens without providing any sanctuary to their victims.
	They voted to continue giving checks to illegal aliens.
	So the Democrats cast a lot of astonishing votes.
	And I suspect that you will see a lot of those votes come back in television advertisements next year in the midterm election campaign.
	I also think People need to know that San Francisco got bailed out.
	I just can't believe that Nancy Pelosi stuck in hundreds of millions of dollars for the city of San Francisco, one of the worst managed cities in the United States of America, Senator.
	Did Little Rock get any money?
	Well, he probably not as much as San Francisco will.
	But there's virtually no Democratic jurisdiction, city, county, or state that won't be bailed out.

	Hi, everybody.
	3.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Wow, I got an Asian American calling in who does not have a problem walking down the street.
	I ought to take this.
	Jerry in St. Paul, Minnesota.
	Hi, Dennis Prager.
	Hello, sir.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	So, just to establish your bona fides, where were you born?
	I was actually born in the Philippines.
	I'm born and raised in Manila 18 years.
	I stayed in the States in 1993. I was 18 years old.
	Are you currently wearing a bulletproof vest?
	I do not own one.
	Well, there's actually a special price for Asian Americans, given the onslaught of murder that has taken place.
	Did this come as news to you that you might be attacked?
	It did not come as news.
	Uh-oh.
	He might have been attacked.
	He's gone.
	I'm not quite sure why.
	Every day I hear about it, I just look at him and go, you know, if somebody has a problem with me, I take it that that's a personal problem from that person, and it is not systemic.
	I don't see hordes of people coming breaking down my door.
	Yeah, I don't either.
	Okay, listen, I thank you.
	We had a little problem with an interruption of the phone line.
	I would like Asian Americans to call me.
	Listen, if the Democrats cannot constantly describe the viciousness of white America, then they don't think they have a raison d'etre.
	They have no reason for being.
	blacks wake up frightened to walk in the street because of whites.
	It's so amazing the giganticity of the lie since on a purely statistical basis a white is so much more likely to be attacked by a black in America than vice versa.
	But truth is not a left-wing value.
	I just say that almost every day.
	Maybe it will sink in.
	When it does, it will transform your life.
	When you realize that truth has never been a left-wing value, it has always been a liberal value and a conservative value, the left's only question is, will what I say work?
	Not is what...
	Will what I say be true?
	But my favorite is the government is everything.
	The government is us.
	That's it in a nutshell.
	One of my favorite presidents is Calvin Coolidge because he did the least.
	I want to think about the government virtually never.
	That makes me a conservative.
	I want to think about my friends, my family, my work, my God, my community.
	I do not want to think about the government!
	What was Ronald Reagan's famous line?
	What is the worst thing that you can hear?
	I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.
	What the government did to American blacks, from Lyndon Johnson to the present, But the government has ruined much of American life.
	Has it done any good?
	Can you name anything that has not done any good?
	Can you name an evil government in the world that did not do any good?
	The question, did it do any good, is stupid.
	The Nazi regime did good.
	The communist regime did good.
	Do you know that Stalin is still beloved among many Russians?
	Not to mention Georgians, because he was not Russian, he was Georgian.
	He electrified the Soviet Union.
	That's right.
	There's electricity all over the Soviet Union, thanks to Stalin.
	Yes, he murdered between 20 and 40 million people.
	He deliberately starved to death 5 to 6 million Ukrainians, but he provided electricity.
	Okay.
	Number 82, please.
	We won't go to number 82, please.
	The government.
	God.
	It's the opposite of what America was founded to have.
	Limited government.
	The very opposite.
	Relief factor is a miracle.
	That's the best way I could put it.
	A lot of people feel that way.
	You take it and...
	In most cases, it's just an amazing thing.
	In most cases, it relieves your joint pain, muscle pain, neck, back, whatever it might be.
	So, that's why you hear their ads as often as you do, because they're so effective.
	That is relief factor.
	Here's the deal.
	You'll know in three weeks if it works, so they give you a three-week price of just $19.95.
	If it doesn't work, you cancel the account.

	You know, we talked about Cuomo A.
	I want to stick on this.
	This is a guy who really does come across as high-handed.
	Now, there's a lot of times people say that, but right now, what happened with the nursing homes, I mean, people talking about the Me Too stuff, I think that pales in comparison to what he did with the nursing home business.
	When it came to the nursing homes, He did sign an executive order that said if somebody had coronavirus and they were in a hospital and they were to be returned to a long-term senior citizen care unit, it was okay, even though it defied logic.
	And instead of apologizing for that, which was a humongous mistake, he just backed it up more, the science.
	And then finally, Eric, he said this.
	As an addendum to the fact that God didn't do it, we did it.
	He said, don't you understand, Eric?
	People are going to die.
	People are going to die.
	Whether they died in the hospital or died in a senior citizen long-term care unit, people are going to die.
	That was probably the most insensitive of all things that he said.
	Not understanding, because remember, he's impervious to human sentimentality at that level.
	Remember, he had the Emmy.
	He had the book on leadership.
	He was the god of all of Hollywood.
	He could do no wrong.
	Women were throwing themselves at him.
	Please date me, date me.
	He was on top of the world.
	And now look at him.
	He's going to go straight to hell without an asbestos suit.

	This is Carol Platt-Lebow of Yankee Institute for townhall.com.
	Matt Meyer is president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, a union leading the effort to keep children at home, insisting that reopening schools is just too unsafe.
	So jaws dropped when video of him was seen taking his own daughter to in-person preschool.
	The episode highlights the hypocrisy and cynicism evident in too much COVID policy, especially in education.
	School districts with strong teachers unions are less likely to hold in-person classes.
	Meanwhile, our children remain trapped at home, suffering from social isolation and learning loss.
	The achievement gap has increased, and there's a worsening youth mental health crisis.
	Parents have stood by helplessly at the mercy of the unions, even as the CDC admits that schools can reopen safely.
	In-person learning shouldn't be reserved for children of the privileged.
	Our kids deserve policies that put their rightful needs over the self-serving demands of union elites.
	I'm Carol Platt-Lebow.
	The Pepperdine Graduate School of Public Policy, impacting...
	Yeah, that's what they're all calling in to say.
	Okay, everybody, just remember, what we all have in common is not that we're Americans.
	It's not that we believe in freedom and free speech in particular.
	No, the government, we have that in common.
	I'm having you hear parts of Joe Biden's speech.
	And let's see here.
	San Antonio, Texas.
	And Susan, hello.
	Hi, Susan.
	Hi.
	I called because you were referring to Biden's comment that it seemed as if he was inferring that most of these attacks on Asian Americans are perpetrated by white racists.
	But if you actually look at the people who are being arrested for these physical attacks, the vast majority are African Americans.
	Many of these are caught on video, so there's no doubt.
	But this is not being told by the media.
	This part of the story is not being told by the media.
	And the most recent example is the other day.
	An Asian man in Oakland was attacked.
	He was shoved to the ground.
	He hit his head.
	He had a terrible head injury.
	And he died yesterday, I believe.
	Yes, yesterday.
	And finally they released the...
	They caught this perpetrator pretty quickly, but they did not release the information until yesterday.
	African American man who had also attacked another...
	And both of these were robbery attempts.
	But back in February, he violently shoved a person in his home and tried to rob him.
	And he was released from jail on the robbery attempt and put under home supervision and then turned around and murdered another Asian person.
	Yeah, you know, thank you.
	A lot of people are calling in to tell me that, and my producer was also mentioning that, that a disproportionate number of attacks on Asian Americans are by blacks.
	So it's either true or not true.
	It's not a racist statement, and it has nothing to do with racism.
	It has to do with the president's racism.
	The implication was clear.
	Asian Americans are being killed.
	By whites because of COVID. That was the clear implication.
	Right?
	Not that they were being killed in random attacks by blacks.
	We live in the world of the lie because the Democrats and the media lie every day far more than Donald Trump.
	Donald Trump was a paragon of honesty compared to the left.
	That's right.
	That's what I believe.
	It's not what I believe.
	I take that back.
	It's what I know.
	The lies of the left dwarf the lies of Trump.
	Dwarf them.
	Or if you will, they trump the lies of Trump.
	But like the quote-unquote insurrection, they focus on something else to deflect from what they do.
	So that was Biden's lie.
	Let's go please to 82.
	I asked her, I said, what do you need most? - Thank you.
	Never forget what she said to me.
	She said, looking me in the eye, she said, I just want the truth.
	The truth.
	Just tell me the truth.
	Think of that.
	My fellow Americans, you're owed nothing less than the truth.
	And for all of you asking when things will get back to normal, here is the truth.
	The only way to get our lives back, to get our economy back on track, is to beat the virus.
	There you go.
	That's the mantra of the left.
	That's correct.
	Until the virus is gone, we will ruin your life.
	We have no scientific basis to close schools.
	Even the CDC has said open the schools.
	But nevertheless, the teachers' unions filled with thugs.
	Teachers' unions are thugs.
	Period.
	They're extortion rackets.
	And they produce cowardly teachers who also indoctrinate rather than educate.
	This is one of the rare times, I would say, that a group has done no good.
	But it would violate my rule.
	Every group, even teachers' unions, has done some good, and they have.
	They have increased teacher salaries, which is why teachers support them, even though they know they're thugs.
	But anyway, this notion here is, that's their notion.
	You can't get back to normal until there's no virus.
	The first time we've had this idea in history.
	We will ruin the vast majority of healthy people's lives because of a very small, very old group of people who are dying.
	Now, not very small if it's a half a million.
	By the way, you owe us the truth, Mr. President.
	Why is it so hard to find the number of deaths in 2020?
	It's usually put out by March.
	We're in the middle of March, and it's readily accessible.
	I'd like to know how many people died in the United States in 2020. How many of them would have died within a year because of comorbidities and age?
	He gives the numbers about, you know, they're very dramatic, 500,000 whatever deaths.
	The vast majority of these people probably would have died within a year.
	What I get angry about much more is that they had to die alone because of the people like Biden who supported the idea that no one could visit a person dying.
	One of the cruelest things I have ever seen in American history, supported by hospitals, supported by doctors.
	I talked about this a lot yesterday.
	I talk about it a lot.
	The cruelty has been indefensible.
	I'm wondering, were hospitals afraid of lawsuits?
	Trending now on the Larry Elder Show.
	.
	We're talking about the $1.9 trillion so-called COVID relief package.
	Very little of it has anything to do with COVID relief and how the left doesn't seem to think there are any adverse consequences.
	I got an idea.
	If there's no adverse consequences, why, pray tell, haven't we just had some big massive bill like this before and end poverty, end suffering, end child poverty right away?
	There are no downsides.
	Nobody has to pay anything.
	There's this tree in the backyard called the money tree, called federal dollars.
	Don't you love those euphemisms?
	We need federal dollars.
	We need federal backing.
	We need federal support.
	This model is not sustainable without federal input.
	Remember what Jonathan Gruber said about Romneycare?
	He said the dirty little secret is that some smart people have figured out a way of ripping off the federal government to the tune of $400 million a year, quote, to make the thing work, close quote.
	That's what he said.
	That's what he said.
	I didn't say it.
	He said it.
	And they keep saying there are 15 million people living below the federally defined level of poverty.
	That's because they exclude the welfare benefits that they get.
	Don't even count housing benefits.
	And government has no money.
	As Milton Friedman brilliantly said, there are four ways of sending money.
	The most efficient is your own money on yourself.
	The second most efficient is your own money on somebody else you care about.
	The third way is when you have, for example, a business account, expense account.
	You can't go crazy, otherwise you'll get fired.
	Your boss will fire you.
	The least most efficient way, least productive way, is somebody else's money on somebody else.

	First, TGIF, it's Friday.
	Yesterday, I'm calling from a landline.
	So I found it hard to believe, but I guess technology is not even perfect for landlines.
	But I got to talking.
	I found that I was talking.
	Uh-oh.
	That broke up.
	All right.
	I'm sorry.
	The irony is, after telling me it's a landline, that failed.

	This is a guy who really does come across as high-handed.
	Now, there's a lot of times people say that, but right now, what happened with the nursing homes, I mean, people talking about the Me Too stuff, I think that pales in comparison to what he did with the nursing home business.
	When it came to the nursing homes, He did sign an executive order that said if somebody had coronavirus and they were in a hospital and they were to be returned to a long-term senior citizen care unit, it was okay, even though it defied logic.
	And instead of apologizing for that, which was a humongous mistake, he just backed it up more, the science.
	And then finally, Eric, he said this.
	As an addendum to the fact that God didn't do it, we did it.
	He said, don't you understand, Eric?
	People are going to die.
	People are going to die.
	Whether they died in the hospital or died in a senior citizen long-term care unit, people are going to die.
	That was probably the most insensitive of all things that he said.
	Not understanding, because remember, he's impervious to human sentimentality at that level.
	Remember, he had the Emmy.
	He had the book on leadership.

	Matt Meyer is president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, a union leading the effort to keep children at home, insisting that reopening schools is just too unsafe.
	So jaws dropped when video of him was seen taking his own daughter to in-person preschool.
	The episode highlights the hypocrisy and cynicism evident in too much COVID policy, especially in education.
	School districts with strong teachers unions are less likely to hold in-person classes.
	Meanwhile, our children remain trapped at home, suffering from social isolation and learning loss.
	The achievement gap has increased, and there's a worsening youth mental health crisis.
	Parents have stood by helplessly at the mercy of the unions, even as the CDC admits that schools can reopen safely.
	In-person learning shouldn't be reserved for children of the privileged.
	Our kids deserve policies that put their rightful needs over the self-serving demands of union elites.

	Turning now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	I kind of am obligated to get into this story right now, which is the story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
	So I want to read this tweet here from Ben Means, an expert on the British monarchy.
	A lot of respect for the tradition and all of that.
	A lot of great friends in London and Great Britain.
	She's not a primary concern of mine.
	And so I want to read from Ben Goldsmith's tweet, which I thought was terrific.
	The narrative being promoted by Meghan, friends of Meghan, and the leftist mainstream media, and everyone else who hates the royal family and British traditions generally, is that the royal couple were driven out of Britain because of snobbery and racism.
	This just isn't true.
	The British tabloid press and the British publicly initially adored the idea that a glamorous star from suits was marrying into the royal family.
	And got terribly excited by the novelty of their royal wedding in the chapel of Windsor Castle.
	They only started going off Meghan when they realized she was a pushy, ungrateful, entitled, gag-inducingly politically correct Hollywood gold digger who'd just gone and hitched herself up to Britain's favorite cheeky, chappy warrior prince.
	And turned him into an emasculated, humorless husk of his form for myself.
	It's actually from James Dellingpole, who I believe writes for Breitbart, amongst other places.
	And he interviewed me when we were in London for our campus tour.
	Very good guy.
	And so there's a lot of people that are kind of dissecting the interview yesterday.
	There's a lot of people that are going through the entire thing.
	I think just a broader question about this whole saga is...
	Are we really now going to blame racism for the alleged oppressed life of Meghan Markle?
	Keep up with what's trending subscribe on YouTube today Yo everybody join me It's the happy happy happy happy air Yes, it is.
	My friends, since 1999, in other words, the last century, I have been broadcasting the Happiness Hour.
	And I'll tell you why.
	It's really, really.
	Really, really.
	Really, really important.
	Those are the original lyrics.
	It's the happy, happy, happy, happy hour.
	It's important because the happy make the world better, the unhappy make it worse.
	Happiness is a moral obligation, not just a feeling.
	And the best thing you can tell a kid is don't let your feelings guide you.
	Son, I don't know if you're not going to say son or daughter any longer, that is imposing a gender identity.
	I'm not being cute.
	And there's one Episcopal school in New York, Episcopal related, Episcopalian related to be precise, that has banned the use of mom and dad.
	If it weren't for Joe Biden's speech, I would in fact have been discussing that.
	A rarity today for the Happiness Hour is that I am going to do a part two of last week's topic because it is of such overwhelming importance.
	And what is it?
	Fear.
	Play some scary music, will you, Sean?
	Get a scary music theme.
	I think that background would be helpful.
	Or even screams from a horror show, from a horror movie.
	I've never fully understood why people like horror movies, but I don't make any judgment.
	That is one weird choice.
	Yeah, that's the almost.
	Huh?
	It's special music?
	This is theoretically frightening music.
	But it doesn't work.
	It sounds like gamelin.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	It's gamelin.
	He's playing a joke on you.
	You play...
	Well, how many people would guess that it was gamelin music?
	You know, you're weird.
	I asked the guy for a scary theme and he plays me Indonesian gamelin music.
	Folks, I want to apologize to you on behalf of the Dennis Prager Show and all of the people who bring it to you every day.
	Alright.
	So, no scary theme.
	Ah, now you're talking.
	That is not what we call fast-moving.
	All right, we got the point.
	So, here's my...
	I think about this a lot, about the people...
	Okay, thank you, it's enough.
	In fact, I prefer the gamel and music.
	It's an interesting question, and very important.
	Why are some people afraid?
	And the question is, are most people unduly afraid?
	I mean, we're...
	If I'm at a cliff at the Grand Canyon and somebody says, go to the edge and pose while standing on one leg, I would be afraid of doing so.
	There is a good reason that fear is built into the human being.
	But as you all know, there are people who have much greater fear than others.
	So what is the answer?
	Is it built in?
	Do they like it?
	Do you have an answer to that?
	These are puzzles.
	Why people do X and other people do not do X. I'll tell you this, though, and this is the bottom line of bottom lines on this subject.
	The more you fear, the less you're happy.
	There you go.
	And nothing proved it as much as the response to the coronavirus.
	The number of truly frightened Americans.
	Irrationally frightened.
	If you're a 40-year-old, why are you afraid of catching COVID?
	Why?
	How often is fear rational?
	There's a very good one.
	LeBron James is really afraid to go out of his mansion every day because he's black?
	If he's telling the truth, he needs to be taken care of by a psychotherapist.
	So, that's just the way it is.
	The President of the United States spoke about every, what is it, Asian Americans fearing every day that they'll be murdered.
	He actually said that.
	And of course, if you don't wear a mask...
	You will die.
	That's pretty much the message.
	So people believe it.
	What else do people fear?
	People fear reactions of other people.
	That's a big one.
	What will they say if they...
	People fear they.
	Do you know how much control they has?
	In your life?
	See, what will they say if I do this?
	The life of lack of fears, I mean, it's endless.
	I've known people in my life who were preoccupied, I mean preoccupied with money.
	Not because they wanted to show that they were wealthy.
	They weren't.
	Nearly that wealthy.
	But because they had lived in fear of what would happen if they didn't have more money.
	Now, by the way, I should have had a healthier fear of that in my earlier life.
	I would have done things better in financial preparation.
	So, there you go.
	I'm acknowledging it.
	However, I have to say, My lack of fear in general has been one gift of God in my life.
	People fear saying what they think.
	That's really what governs America today, is fear of saying what you think.
	Right?
	You lose friends, you lose the love of relatives, you will be deplatformed, or you will at least be What is the word when you're dropped from somebody's Facebook feed?
	You guys know?
	Isn't there a...
	Huh?
	Blocked?
	Well, it's as good as any.
	It gets the point across.
	You will be blocked.
	The hour that you're listening to is titled the Happiness Hour.
	So that's why I need to revert to the bottom line.
	The more fear is the less happiness.
	That should be as obvious as the sun is bright.
	But people don't like to look at the obvious.
	You conquer fear by conquering fear.
	My older brother told me when I was about 10. And he was then 16. He said, you want to stop being scared?
	I was scared of horror movies.
	He said, watch them as much as you can.
	Get immune.
	And think of all of the special effects that they did.
	The makeup and so on.
	And start laughing at certain scenes.
	And he gave me a whole prescription.
	It involved conquering my fear.
	And it worked.
	Now, I do fear real-life horrors because they really do happen.
	I admit I have fears.
	However, even there, there are two types of people.
	First, there's the type that is afraid a lot.
	But then there's the type...
	Even within those who fear, who let it govern their lives, that fear.
	And here is where the use of reason is so instructive.
	Nothing has been more calamitous than the after-effects of the age of reason.
	Reason is less used today than 300 years ago.

	Wellington.
	There you go.
	A lot of people don't know that.
	Listen, Wellington, Ohio is etched in my mind.
	As well it should be.
	It's a beautiful city.
	I'll bet it is.
	Alright, what's on your mind other than that very funny opening?
	Um, you...
	You have this irrational fear of wearing masks.
	And this has hurt not only you, but a lot of your listeners.
	And, more importantly, has hurt the people that got sick because of it.
	Right.
	So, let me explain.
	I don't have fear of wearing a mask.
	I always do when I walk inside any place.
	Wants you to wear a mask, which is just about every place.
	So I've made that clear from the beginning.
	I never, ever, ever wear it outdoors.
	And I have a fear.
	I have a fear that it has a terrible impact on human intercourse.
	People do not relate to people they cannot see.
	We have paid a spectacular price.
	For the idiocy of wearing masks outdoors and everyone being anonymous.
	So, that's my response.
	Your turn.
	I would say that not a spectacular price.
	A teeny-weeny, itty-bitty price, perhaps.
	And certainly a price worth paying for lives saved.
	And the fear, you've always depicted people who...
	Thought it was a good idea to listen to the recommendations.
	They were wearing masks because of fear of virus.
	And that was, in my opinion, that was your way of demeaning them and belittling them.
	Why not say that they were wearing masks because they wanted to slow the spread of the virus and, in so doing, ultimately save lives?
	Who's the they?
	I lost the train of thought.
	Who was the they that you're referring to?
	Political leaders?
	Let's see.
	I might have used it more than once.
	Well, I know that they made recommendations that would be people who study viruses and that sort of thing.
	And they also wore masks.
	Right.
	So you should know, and I have publicized this.
	I don't know which you're referring to either.
	Right.
	Okay.
	There are many scientists who have written, including, I think it was the New England Journal of Medicine at the very beginning, that they're largely useless outdoors.
	And then, of course, it was so frightening to people that a prestigious medical journal said they were useless outdoors that they immediately added, of course, we're not saying people shouldn't listen to the authorities on this.
	So, look, you and I are good people, and I'm not being sarcastic.
	We have completely different responses to the exact same phenomenon.
	And that's it.
	It's a wonderful example of the human species.
	Why do I have contempt for outdoor mask wearing, and why do you believe that it saves lives?
	And maybe there's no answer.
	Maybe it's built into our natures.
	There is zero rationality in my mind about outdoor mask wearing.
	As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't wear it indoors if they allowed me not to wear it indoors.
	By the way, they do allow me to not wear it indoors.
	I fly...
	I flew last week to Wisconsin.
	I'm flying next week to Florida.
	And while anybody eats six inches away from you, you're allowed to have no mask on.
	We don't have one example of somebody dying of COVID as a result of mask removal on an airplane in order to eat.
	I might add that it is the quintessence of irrationality to require two-year-olds to wear masks.
	It borders on, not only the, it doesn't border, it is not only stupid, it is mean-spirited.
	Most two-year-olds do not do well with a mask, and they should not be thrown off the plane with the entire family if they refuse to wear it.
	I know I will be vindicated.
	I've been vindicated in every single arena on the issue of the virus from the beginning.
	I said the lockdown was the greatest mistake in history.
	It is turning out to exactly be that.
	What I had to say was not politically motivated.
	Israel, with a conservative government, was the greatest panic monger of the free nations and its people.
	That Israeli Jews went along with the closing of their society, the bankrupting of their stores, is as depressing to me as the fact that Americans went along with it here.
	The ability to scare people is unlimited, apparently, if the media get behind it.
	Long answer to a very valid question.
	I believe that when I walk outdoors without a mask, In Glendale, California, where my station is located and where they passed a mandate in the very beginning that you have to wear a mask or you could be fined.
	I can't wait to be fined.
	I mean it.
	I wish it happened.
	But I believe I am striking a blow for joy for a carefree existence that brings me happiness instead of being one of the herd.

	The episode highlights the hypocrisy and cynicism evident in too much COVID policy, especially in education.
	School districts with strong teachers unions are less likely to hold in-person classes.
	Meanwhile, our children remain trapped at home, suffering from social isolation and learning loss.
	The achievement gap has increased, and there's a worsening youth mental health crisis.
	Parents have stood by helplessly at the mercy of the unions, even as the CDC admits that schools can reopen safely.
	In-person learning shouldn't be reserved for children of the privileged.

	Very well, thank you.
	I would just want to say I am a 64-year-old female runner.

	What I wanted to talk about is this fear, because I am...
	I'm so brave in all instances.
	If I see a car accident on a highway, I will medical bag and jump out to rescue people.
	But when it comes to making a decision, I am paralyzed by fear.

	Yeah, go on.
	I'm right about what?
	It makes me crazy.

	Well, you know, you are gifted in one obvious way.
	You have a very clear understanding of you.
	Well, you know, it's irrational.
	But not clear enough, I know what you're saying, but not clear enough to overcome something irrational.
	In other words, I don't know why I, Cynthia, I'm paralyzed when I have to make a decision.
	Yeah.
	I have a friend like that, a magnificent human being who has encountered that high achievement, very bright, and has that dilemma.
	See, to the extent that you can conquer it with the use of your mind, My attitude toward these great dilemmas has always been, I have to make a decision.
	And there's no way to know which the right decision is, so just do it.
	That's it.
	And by the way, here's the other thing.
	A lot of times, people's conflict is between two good choices.

	They didn't, you know.
	And yet about half the nation is worried that Joe Biden is physically and mentally not up to the job.
	Did you hear about the Rasmussen Reports survey that came out this week?

	Oh, I'll go when it's safe, I'll go when it's safe.
	So we've gone countless times while these people stayed home.
	Fear has been paralyzing.
	That's the subject.
	I did it last week as well, because it's so important.
	Fear.
	That's why people have to be mind...
	Governed.
	Your mind must govern your life, otherwise you're doomed.
	This is not meant at all as an insult.
	It'll come out that way, but I don't engage in that, and it's not meant as an insult.
	But to the extent that one allows feelings to govern one's behavior, one is more animal than human.
	Certainly more animal than...
	Created God's image, the two polar opposites.
	Animals are governed by feelings and instinct, obviously.
	Humans have a mind to say no to both.

	Angelina in Medina, Ohio.
	Hello.
	Hi, how are you doing today?
	All right, thank you.
	Yeah, thank you for taking my call.
	I know I call in a lot, so I just want to say I appreciate that.
	Thank you.
	...subject of fear.
	One of them being that in the absence of rational fears, you know, we don't have so many fears in this world.
	Wait, wait, hold on.
	Whoops.
	Was there...
	Yeah, we're having a cross conversation.
	Oh, dear.
	Wait, there were two calls on the line.
	Hold on there.
	Yeah, even I put her on hold and I'm still hearing something.
	Oh, I know why.
	I know why.
	It is not her fault.
	I am apologetic.
	I'm back with you, Angelina.
	Okay.
	All right, it's fine.
	Sorry.
	So, in our society, we have very little rational fears.
	There are a few, but not many.
	We don't have to worry about walking outside our door and getting eaten by lions.
	You know, things like that.
	So, when people have enough rational fears in their life, I notice they tend to gravitate towards the irrational fears.
	Like going outside without a mask on for fear of catching COVID. So they have a fear quota?
	Yeah, everyone has a fear quota because naturally we have adrenal glands from time to time.
	We need that adrenaline rush.
	And we've always had it.
	Wait, fear gives you an adrenaline rush?
	What's that?
	Fear provides an adrenaline rush?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the fight-or-flight response.
	It initiates that fight-or-flight response, which triggers the adrenal glands, releases the adrenaline.
	Everyone needs that stimulation to some extent.
	The other point that I was going to make was that some people actually get addicted to that adrenaline rush.
	I mean, we see that with thrill-seekers, people who are just always jumping out of airplanes, skydiving and things like that.
	They get addicted to the adrenaline rush.
	People might do extreme things like that to generate that adrenaline rush.
	But then there are other people who get the same feelings from their irrational fears.
	Because they have no real fears.
	Life is pretty cushy in America.
	We've got it really easy.
	We don't have too much to really worry about.
	That's right.
	So we have to generate things.
	You're good.
	She's so right.
	Well, the obvious example, the most obvious, I think, is...
	The creation of phony hatreds.
	Blacks are not hated in America, so what happens is they make up stuff, microaggressions.
	That's what they do.
	Because there are so few macroaggressions, they've made up microaggressions.
	And statements that are essentially innocuous now become reasons...
	To deprive you of a livelihood.
	So that's it.
	It's like there's not only a fear quota, there's an evil quota.
	People have to be fighting evil, so if there isn't real evil to fight, they make up evils.
	That's true about fears too, I guess.
	Interesting.

	Hi, Mr. Prager.
	I just want to say, I love you, I love you, I love you, and I'm reading your rational...
	And I hope I'm not being disrespectful by marking up my rational Bible book, because I have so many notes that I put in there, and I just love it.
	You know, I love when people do that, and I actually, if I met you, I would love to see some of the things that you marked up.
	Oh my goodness!
	Wow!
	Well, one of these days, when I save up, I want to go on one of those cruises with you.
	That's right.
	And I'll have to bring it along so that you can autograph it for me.
	I would do it with joy.
	Well, thank you.
	Go ahead.

	And I have to say, as his wife.
	I guess the word not attractive is the wrong word, but it makes me feel something as a woman to see my husband.
	Well, you know what?
	I have to do that on a male-female hour.

	We're talking about the $1.9 trillion so-called COVID relief package.
	Very little of it has anything to do with COVID relief and how the left doesn't seem to think there are any adverse consequences.
	I've got an idea.
	If there's no adverse consequences, why, pray tell, haven't we just had some big massive bill like this before and end poverty, end suffering, end child poverty right away?
	There are no downsides.
	Nobody has to pay anything.
	There's this tree in the backyard called the money tree, called federal dollars.
	Don't you love those euphemisms?
	We need federal dollars.
	We need federal backing.
	We need federal support.
	This model is not sustainable without federal input.
	Remember what Jonathan Gruber said about Romney Care?
	He said the dirty little secret is that some smart people have figured out a way of ripping off the federal government to the tune of $400 million a year, quote, to make the thing work, close quote.
	That's what he said.
	That's what he said.
	I didn't say it.
	He said it.
	And they keep saying there are 15 million people living below the federally defined level of poverty.
	That's because they exclude the welfare benefits that they get.
	Don't even count housing benefits.
	And government has no money.
	As Milton Friedman brilliantly said, there are four ways of sending money.
	The most efficient is your own money on your... ...the most efficient is your own money on your... ...the most efficient is your own money on your... ...the most efficient is your own money on your... ...the most efficient

	And...
	I had a feeling that was the case.
	I wish I could talk to the husband in that case.
	A woman married to a man who has gotten the vaccines and is still frightened and is leaving a non-social life.
	The subject is fear.
	The obvious fear today is getting COVID. You would think that if it had an effect on the way your spouse saw you, especially a man who was expected to be manly, and I know that the left totally understandably pooh-poohs manliness because it's not to be found on the left.
	Anyway, it implies something that men should yearn for and seek.
	I want to thank all of you who've called really, really important calls.
	So really, you know what it gets down to?
	An even deeper philosophical question.
	If a man knows that it's turning off his wife that he is living in such fear of something that the chances are he will die from are negligible, why can't he overcome it for the sake of remaining why can't he overcome it for the sake of remaining a man in his wife's eyes?
	Well, Sean said he may not be aware that he feels that way, so I'm aware of it and millions are, but he's not.
	Yes.
	No, no, no, it is possible, fine.
	But then he doesn't read men and women well.
	Women want us to be strong.
	I mean, with all the other things, fine, honest, and this, we want women to be fine, honest, and intelligent, and all that.
	We want them to be attractive.
	And they want us to be strong.
	That makes us attractive.
	The more you live in fear, the less strong you appear.
	This is the fact.
	Especially when it's not rational.
	So I said, it brings up the great philosophical question.
	Is there free will?
	He's doing something so self-destructive.
	Fear is self-destructive.

	I mean, you can get by on that even out here in California.
	I know it's tough.
	If you budget, if you, you know, carpool.
	Okay, after their mom died, after Princess Diana died in 1997, both Harry and William were left with $10 million after taxes.
	Also, he earned between $50,000 and $53,000 during his service with the British Air Army Corps.
	Meghan left with $2 million from Hollywood earnings after taxes, according to Forbes, also earning $80,000 a year for sponsorships and endorsement deals.
	They moved to Montecito, California, bought a $14.7 million mansion.
	That beats camping out.
	They did a deal with Spotify, a three-year deal for $15 to $18 million.

	And I have to say that even if we didn't have the worst mayor in the history of New York City, As the mayor, Comrade de Blasio, I would still think you would make a fantastic mayor.
	But the fact that this mayor that we have right now has taken New York backwards to David Dinkins-era New York, which I see with my eyes because I live in this city, I was born in this city, it's unbelievable.
	So we desperately need somebody who understands New York, who understands basic principles.
	But it's a big deal to run for mayor.

	Well, I feel like I've got the general understanding of what's in it.
	90% of it doesn't have anything to do with COVID-19, and less than 1% has to do with deploying vaccines.
	And so this is a Trojan horse, Hugh, for a lot of...

	So, yeah, I understand that much.
	Last night I read that half of the San Francisco city budget is going to be covered by this bill.
	And I kind of sat there stunned thinking, did it get down to that level of detail?
	Is it that granular that cities know how much money they're getting?
	Yeah, earlier in March of last year in the CARES Act, we appropriated money for state and local governments to try to help them with their COVID response and in part make up for the reduction in sales tax revenue, which is an essential part of their base, tax base.
	But this floods the zone with a lot of money where there's no demonstrated need.
	But yeah, it will filter down not only to the states, but to...
	How much leverage does Team Biden have to steer the money?
	Well, quite a bit.

	These people are scared of life.
	So here's a typical...
	Person of the left, a columnist in the L.A. Times.
	They do not have non-left columnists except one Trump-hating conservative, Jonah Goldberg.
	So it's all left, and it's all filled with fear.
	So he even writes in his piece that he went back to his office for the first time in a year this past week.
	And he remembered what he did that day, shook hands with people, and then he writes, I haven't shaken anyone's hand since then.
	Here is a man who admits to the world he is so scared of the virus that he has not shaken anyone's hand in a year.
	Wow.
	Now, I'm sure a lot of you could relate to that.
	You haven't shaken anyone's hand in a year.
	It's been a great year for you.
	And then he writes, When can I fly?
	What does it mean, when can he fly?
	You could have flown at any time in the last year like people like me did.
	It's like they're so afraid, people on the left, they're afraid of life.
	They're afraid of death, and they're afraid of life.
	Bad combination.
	When it's safe.
	Safetyism is...
	Remember, when Judaism and Christianity die, when the Judeo-Christian value systems and their religions die, people have new religions.
	Safetyism is one of them.
	The worship of the safe.
	The worship of the scientist.
	Not science.
	They have contempt for science on the left.
	But they have...
	They revere scientists.
	Thus saith Fauci is equivalent, and I mean this literally, to thus saith the Lord.
	Ko amar Fauci.
	That's just, that's thus saith in Hebrew, as it would be in the prophets.
	There's even a song.
	Ko amar, ko amar Fauci.
	Yeah, I'm going to start singing that.
	Alright, where were we?
	Oh yeah, so when will we use public transportation?
	When can I fly?
	There's no embarrassment that he hasn't flown in a year.
	And he adds, and can I see my father for his 90th birthday after not seeing him since November 2009?
	Why didn't he see his father?
	Why didn't he see his father?
	My sons have seen me.
	Why hasn't he seen his father?
	Now, not close to 90, but still.
	I'm closer than I am to my child's age.
	So, I'm just trying to figure out.
	Why didn't he see his father?
	Because he's scared as hell.
	And maybe his father is too.
	But I thought masks work.
	Why didn't he visit his father when they both wore masks?
	Why didn't he visit his father when they would both sit outdoors?
	Because he wouldn't fly.
	He's proud of this.
	Please understand, they live in fear.
	That's why they don't fight evil on the left.
	They fight white supremacists in America.
	They make up things to fight that won't hurt them.
	Because they won't fight real evil like communism.
	That is what turned me off to the left when I was a kid.
	They couldn't call communism evil.
	They were obviously scared of real evil.
	That has not changed one iota.
	They don't fight real evils.
	They're frightened by them.
	So they make up ones like white privilege.
	They're fighting white privilege.
	Ah!
	That fills them with meaning.
	That's really something.
	He hasn't seen his father in that long because he's a frightened guy.
	There's no embarrassment to write this.
	No embarrassment.
	Because all he associates with a fellow leftist, this L.A. Times columnist, Nicholas Goldberg.
	By the way, you were invited onto my show, Mr. Goldberg.
	And I got good news.
	I treat people with great respect.
	Ask any of the lefties who've shown up here.
	Much more respect than they show their opponents.
	So you're invited on any time.
	And we can analyze why you haven't seen your father in a year.
	I'd like to know why.
	I really would.
	I would like to know from any of you, what was your damn excuse for not seeing your parent in the last year?
	Which one of you was paranoid?
	Does it take two to have paranoia?
	This notion of, well, he's scared, so what?
	You get them unscared.
	Unbelievable to me.
	Unbelievable.
	Land of the free and the home of the brave.
	They go together, by the way, freedom and bravery.
	I didn't realize that.
	See, I sang it my whole life, and I didn't realize it.
	Talking about that, we should hear something.
	Let's see here.
	I want to pick out a...
	That's not too many clips, Sean, right?
	Correct?
	It's only eight...
	Yeah, no, no, we won't do them all, but there is...
	I want to hear...
	Oh, this is the ultimate.
	Okay, here we go.
	Number 85. President Biden last night.
	Here's the point.
	Do this together.
	By July the 4th, there's a good chance you, your families, and friends...
	We'll be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout and a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day.
	That doesn't mean large events with lots of people together, but it does mean small groups will be able to get together.
	Mind-boggling.
	July 4th.
	That speech was given on March, what was yesterday's date?
	March 11th.
	So March, April, May, June, July 4th.
	Four months.
	In four months, you will be able to gather in small groups outdoors.
	That's what you'll be allowed.
	And that's if you're vaccinated.
	Get it?
	That's if you're vaccinated.
	It's quite a pathetic vaccine, by the way.
	It's the most pathetic vaccine in American history.
	Because you'll still have to wear masks afterwards and you still shouldn't travel, according to Dr. Fauci, the fool in charge of people's minds.
	Oh yes, and he says there's a good chance.
	The whole thing is qualified.
	If, if, if, if there were four ifs, there's a good chance that you could meet outdoors with a few people.
	Bye.
	I just had a caller assert that because the bill was read, the stimulus bill was read in the Senate, that senators know what's in it.
	Do you actually know what's in this bill, Senator Cornyn?
	Well, I feel like I've got a general understanding of what's in it.
	90% of it doesn't have anything to do with COVID-19, and less than 1% has to do with deploying vaccines.
	And so this is a Trojan horse, Hugh, for a lot of the left's agenda that they couldn't otherwise pass through Congress.
	So, yeah, I understand that much.
	Last night I read that half of the San Francisco city budget is going to be covered by this bill.
	And I kind of sat there stunned thinking, did it get down to that level of detail?
	Is it that granular that cities know how much money they're getting?
	Yeah, earlier in March of last year in the CARES Act, we appropriated money for state and local governments to try to help them with their COVID response and in part make up for the reduction in sales tax revenue, which is an essential part of their base, tax base.
	But this floods the zone with a lot of money where there's no demonstrated need.
	But yeah, it will filter down not only to the states, but to How much leverage does Team Biden have to steer the money?
	Well, quite a bit.
	The money that goes to states and local governments, health care, schools, and the like, will be basically controlled at the local and state level now once the money has been appropriated.

	Music For all of the hysteria of Trump haters for four years ranting and raving about, you know, mean Donald Trump and he's unconventional and he's not presidential and do you think anybody worried about his mental competency?
	They didn't, you know.
	And yet about half the nation is worried that Joe Biden is physically and mentally not up to the job.
	Did you hear about the Rasmussen Reports survey that came out this week?
	50% of Americans in the Rasmussen poll say they're not confident that Joe Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being president of the United States.
	I just want to thank you both, and I want to thank the former general, I keep calling him general, the guy who runs that outfit over there.
	I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he's done to try to implement what we just talked about and for recommending these two women for promotion.
	34%, only 34% of the Rasmussen poll survey, 34% are very confident that he's up to the job.
	So, you know, a third of Americans are very confident he's up to the job.
	Half say he's not physically and mentally up to it.
	52% of likely voters are concerned that he hasn't held a press conference.
	He hasn't had a press conference yet.
	He has not had a solo press conference yet.

	Nicholas Goldberg, one of the lefties who writes at one of the people of the left at the LA Times.
	Redundant.
	They're all people of the left.
	So he writes about it's going to be very odd to get back to normal.
	He hasn't seen his father the whole time, which I find incredible.
	There's cave syndrome to worry about.
	According to some psychiatrists, people who will be unwilling to emerge even when it becomes safe to do so because they've grown too accustomed to isolation.
	Wow.
	Hey, Sean!
	Do you have cave syndrome?
	Yeah.
	Sean has cave syndrome.
	He had cave syndrome prior to COVID. That...
	Yes, he's afraid.
	Yes, he was.
	That was your joke.
	That's good.
	Everyone has to live like he does.
	Like he did.
	Yeah, that's good.
	That's good.
	That's right.
	He emerges every day from his cave, and it's a painful process.
	Daniel, you have cave syndrome?
	No?
	Daniel, have you seen either of your parents in the last year?
	You're a killer.
	You are a killer.
	I can't believe we have somebody working at our station who has visited a parent in the last year.
	Yes, have you hugged them?
	That's right.
	He's hugged them?
	Killer.
	Maybe?
	No, no, no.
	This is a living example of patricide.
	I can't believe it.
	I have met it.
	You know, you heard of child sacrifice?
	We have parent sacrifice at our station.
	Yes.
	That's exactly correct.
	Nicholas Goldberg would charge Daniel with parasite.
	For a year, so much of our time has been lost to two interrelated subjects, the presidential campaign and COVID. It will, of course, be an enormous relief if we no longer have to obsess about Trump or the virus.
	See?
	Mr. Goldberg, here is a real interesting secret.
	Some of us obsessed about neither.
	You on the left obsessed about Trump and the virus.
	We didn't.
	Our obsession is your pathology of obsessions.
	Yeah.
	Now here's a giveaway line.
	This is truly a confessional.
	But a part of me wonders whether there also will be a subtle emptiness left after the emotional intensity of the year we've just been through.
	God, is this revealing about people on the left?
	Their obsessions with global warming, with white supremacy, with Donald Trump, with the virus, it gives these people meaning.
	He said it.
	Without it, he will have emptiness.
	The only way to understand the left is to understand them psychologically.
	This is a giveaway.
	This column should be laminated.
	Alright, we shall now go to your calls.
	Oh, a challenge, so I take it first.
	Northfield, Illinois.
	Rob, hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	This is Rob.
	I know.
	Hey, um, yeah, sorry.
	I just had my headphones in and it popped out.
	Um, yeah, I'm in full agreement with you, you know, just on this one thing.
	Biden said one thing I agree with last night.
	He said just over a year ago, nobody would have known what was about to happen, you know.
	Um, so I was just riding my bike and that was true.
	He snuck it in just over a year, you know.
	But you had this doctor on like a year ago a couple times.
	He was right about SARS. He was right about swine flu, you know.
	And this guy was saying there was no way the virus was coming.
	And I was right there with you, so I just kind of...
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, Michael Fomento.
	I think you're referring to Michael Fomento.
	Yeah, whoever it was.
	Yes, yes, right.
	And I just kind of cringe every time you say, like, I've been right about everything.
	Right.
	And, like, I'm totally with you, but, like, I'm willing to admit that this is way worse than I thought it was going to be.
	Right.
	No, no, that's a very fair challenge, and it has taken more lives than I expected.
	I fully acknowledge that.
	You're absolutely right.
	However, I would have kept everything open like they did in Sweden.
	I know Sweden has a higher death rate than Denmark.
	It also has a lower death rate than many other European countries, but they always pick Denmark, Finland, and Sweden because Sweden is part of Scandinavia.
	Finland is not, but they use Finland as well because it borders Sweden.
	By the way, the Finnish Prime Minister did say that he would not have closed his schools, that Sweden was right.
	Sweden's death rate comes from a terrible performance of their health care system in nursing homes.
	So if you take away the nursing home, a tragedy in Sweden, you would have an extremely low rate.
	The price humans have paid, I said this, this is where I was right.
	I was not right in numbers, but I didn't predict any numbers.
	I listened to a person that I respected on the issue, but I was right in all the other areas, including the biggest, that the solution was worse than the disease.
	The lockdown was the calamity.
	Not the virus.
	I feel 100% confirmed in that prognosis.

	Who would you put?

	Who would you put in there?
	Would you put somebody who'd battled the COVID virus?
	Somebody who'd been the face of that?
	Not doctor.
	I prefer to call her Colonel Birx.
	Do you remember her?
	Scarf lady!
	Would you put her in the Women's Hall of Fame?
	Or would you put an anonymous frontline health worker?
	Or somebody who helped develop one of the three vaccines from Operation Warp Speed, the fastest development in human history of a vaccine for a deadly international pandemic?
	Well, if those were your suggestions, you would be wrong.
	The National Women's Hall of Fame has chosen for this year Dr. Michelle Obama for her massive contributions to...
	I don't know.
	Okay, enough of that story.

	What an absurd decision.
	Her contribution to being angry?
	I don't know.
	Her contribution to being married to one of the laziest presidents in American history?

	That was relayed to me from Harry.
	Those were conversations that family had with him.
	If he were too brown, that that would be a problem.
	Are you saying that?
	I wasn't able to follow up with why, but if that's the assumption you're making, I think that feels like a pretty safe one.
	Feels.
	Feels like a safe one.

	Is that correct?
	Hi, y'all.
	No, I'm from New York originally.
	Hi, Janice.
	Hi.
	Love your show.
	Thank you.
	You have helped me so much.
	You have no idea.
	You're right.
	I don't have an idea, but I'm happy to know it.
	That's what I want to do, is help people.
	I do not wear a mask.
	I read the Word every day.
	I'm in the Bible.
	That's the only thing is my faith in God, or I think I would go cuckoo.
	I saw his speech yesterday, and I couldn't make any sense out of what he was talking about.
	I will not get the shot.
	I don't believe in it.
	I talked to several people that have had it.
	I live in a senior complex here.
	These Christians are getting these shots, these older people, and they're getting sick.
	And it's really very, very, very sad.
	I try to talk to them about not wearing a mask or not even getting a shot, but they don't even want to hear you.
	And I think they're in fear.
	All of them.
	And it's really terrible.
	And the only scripture that really gets me through the day is the one on Isaiah 41.10.
	And it's out of the Amplified Bible.
	And I say it every day.
	May I share that with you?
	How long is it?
	Not long.
	Well, give me one.
	If it's one verse, take it away.
	Okay.
	Fear not, for I am with you.
	That's it.
	Perfect.
	I said a hundred times, the thing that God says to the human being more than any other thing in the Bible is fear not.
	That's a good example of it.
	That's right.
	She said if it weren't for a religion, she would go cuckoo.
	She doesn't realize that she said exactly what the modern age is.
	The modern age is gone cuckoo.
	Dr. Seuss is racist.
	Dumbo is, I don't know what-ist it is.
	We've gone cuckoo, and we've gone cuckoo because we have gotten rid of...
	The Bible from people's lives.
	So when she said she's going to go cuckoo without religion, the society has gone cuckoo without religion.
	That is the deepest understanding I have of the entire issue.
	Bible-free produces morons.
	Not everyone who believes in the Bible is wise, but the society, not every secular individual is a fool.
	However, the society goes cuckoo.
	We are living in the age of idiocy, and all these idiots have 99% are Bible-free.
	Nothing brings me closer to religion than the left.
	Read my essay from years ago, maybe ten years ago, How the Left Keeps Me Religious.
	It's on the internet.
	90% of college graduates listening to this woman would think she's a nut.
	They've been programmed.
	Anybody who cites the Bible is automatically a nut.
	But if you cite the New York Times, you're a sophisticated genius.
	This is our issue, my dear friends.
	It's clear as a bell.
	God, the astonishing nonsense, the nothingness that people are involved in.
	They drop Dr. Seuss and then they mock you.
	This is what the left does.
	They get rid of Dr. Seuss books.
	Not all.
	But they get rid of Dr. Seuss books.
	Then if you mention that they got rid of Dr. Seuss books, you're mocked for picking on something trivial.
	That's how it works.
	Yes, indeed.

	Oh, one other thing about the Harry and Meghan and Oprah thing before we leave that.
	Oprah's net worth, latest we could tell, 3.5 billion.
	And here she is showing such concern for the...
	Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
	I guess they still have the title or they take the title away.
	And I'm looking at what net worth says they've got right now plus the future earnings.
	Current net worth, $50 million.
	I mean, you can get by on that even out here in California.
	I know it's tough.
	If you budget, if you, you know, carpool.
	Okay, after their mom died, after Princess Diana died in 1997, both Harry and William were left with $10 million after taxes.
	Also, he earned between $50,000 and $53,000 during his service with the British Air Army Corps.
	Meghan left with $2 million from Hollywood earnings after taxes, according to Forbes, also earning $80,000 a year for sponsorships and endorsement deals.
	They moved to Montecito, California, bought a $14.7 million mansion.
	That beats camping out.
	They did a deal with Spotify, a three-year deal for $15 to $18 million.
	And in 2020, they signed a $100 million deal with Netflix to produce content over five years.

	You are running to be mayor of New York City and I have to say that even if we didn't have the worst mayor in the history of New York City As the mayor, Comrade de Blasio, I would still think you would make a fantastic mayor.
	But the fact that this mayor that we have right now has taken New York backwards to David Dinkins-era New York, which I see with my eyes because I live in this city, I was born in this city, it's unbelievable.
	So we desperately need somebody who understands New York, who understands basic principles.
	But it's a big deal to run for mayor.
	You just made the announcement, what, a couple of weeks ago?

	So I understand.
	And let me make clear to the last caller that if, in fact, there's no mandate in Eau Claire, Wisconsin or Wisconsin generally for wearing there's no mandate in Eau Claire, Wisconsin or Wisconsin generally for wearing a mask indoors, he has a perfect right not to wear I wear one indoors because it is mandated here, and I just...
	See, also, using me as an example is not a perfect analogy because I'm well-known and...
	If I walked into a grocery store with no mask on here in L.A. County, I feel it would give all of the things I stand for a bad reputation.
	But outdoors, I am proud not to wear a mask.
	And I look at people who wear them and know that they have either excessive fears or are ignorant of the science.
	There's no third possibility.
	Excessive fear or ignorance or both.
	So what am I going to do?
	But I proudly wear no mask outdoors.
	And I am awaiting getting a fine from Glendale City Police.
	I look forward to it.
	I don't know on what grounds the mayor, the...
	The power-loving mayor of Glendale, California, where I broadcast, on what grounds he ever issued this.
	He knows about masks as much as I know about the rubber business in Belgium.
	But, yes, see, this is the better safe than sorry crowd.
	This is the new motto, as I've said this for decades.
	The motto is now, Better Safe Than Sorry.
	Or AOC, Abundance of Caution.
	Okay, let's see here.
	Let's go to some other subjects.
	Mark in Harrison Township, Michigan.
	Hello.
	Hello, Dennis.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Yes, sir.
	I tried to reach you on Wednesday when you had your relationship hour.
	Right.
	And you made a statement that a good divorce is better than a bad marriage.
	Right.
	And my wife and I have been running divorce recovery for 18 years.
	We've done marital counseling two-on-two with close to 100 couples.
	And I would really argue that a bad marriage is better than any divorce.
	Divorce is so destructive.
	And you may have talked to people who are happy they're divorced, but that's just the nature of people.
	They're going to move on.
	But when you consider the devastation that happens to families, to kids, to...
	The people's lives, they're shattered.
	We have people in our program five years because they're trying to put their life back together.
	And yeah, there's a few wise acres who think, you know, the divorce was great and so much better.
	But God hates divorce for good reason.
	Okay, so this is, I know, that's from Micah.
	So, I think it's Micah.
	So, is that right?
	Is it Micah?
	Yeah, it's in Micah.
	I knew as soon as you began speaking, and I say this with the greatest respect because everybody knows that I believe that Christians don't save America, America won't be saved.
	But I knew that you were coming from a religious standpoint rather than, in my opinion, a standpoint rooted in something other than faith.
	And I believe deeply that faith should guide people, but I believe you're wrong.
	I know too many people, including myself.
	My kids are not devastated by my divorce.
	They're fine.
	My son divorced.
	My grandchildren are fine.
	The issue is what people do after the divorce.
	I don't know why people, good people, innocent people, decent people should have to suffer for 40 years in a loveless, angry marriage.
	I don't know why.
	Because people can change.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	And what if they don't change?
	If you're a Christian, unless you have biblical grounds, you're called to fight and to work on being the sanctifying force in that relationship.
	And we have seen plenty of results where marriages should be flushed by cultural view.
	I'm sure that's true.
	I think marriages can be turned around just as lives can be turned around, so can marriages.
	But a lot of people don't turn their lives around.
	What if you're married to an addict and they refuse to acknowledge their addiction?
	If you don't have biblical grounds, you stay and you work and you be the sanctifying force.
	I don't know what that means.
	This is all mumbo-jumbo to me.
	It's mumbo-jumbo.
	What does it mean you're a sanctifying force?
	You're married to somebody who's on meth or alcohol for 20 years.
	You should be a sanctifying force?
	You're supposed to commit suicide for God's sake?
	No, you're supposed to be obedient.
	Obedient to what?
	Drinking and drugs are not grounds for divorce.
	They're not?
	Okay, alright, so look, we have a difference.
	Okay, I gave you a lot of time, and I'm happy you exist, and I don't agree with you at all.
	Okay?
	By the way, this may be, I think it's one of the rare Jewish-Christian differences.
	Judeo-Christian values are 99% aligned.
	Judaism has always accepted divorce.
	It understands that in the real world, to condemn people to a lifetime, their one chance at love and companionship has been ruined by whatever it has been ruined by.
	The Hebrew Bible allows for divorce.
	And there is no reason given.
	It is people can divorce.
	And then in the New Testament, it is only for infidelity.
	Ironically, most Christians don't believe that, and they allow, and I agree with them, they allow for divorce when there's no infidelity.
	Ironically, I believe that infidelity should not automatically lead to divorce.
	Training now on The Charlie Kirk Show.
	Music by Ben Thede Oprah Winfrey, the fact that Oprah tolerated this whole conversation is so unbelievably disappointing.
	And I'll get to that.
	But first, I want to play this tape right here of Meghan Markle saying this, making the claim that there were racist remarks against her child's skin color.
	But she won't say who said it because she's doing maybe a Jussie Smollett thing.
	Play cut eight.
	And also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born.
	That was relayed to me from Harry.
	Those were conversations that family had with him.
	If he were too brown, that that would be a problem?
	Are you saying that?
	I wasn't able to follow up with why, but if that's the assumption you're making, I think that feels like a pretty safe one.
	Feels.
	Feels like a safe one.
	Megan.
	You are now allowing your feels, feelings, I guess I should say, to dictate an accusation of a family that largely, by all evidence available, embraced you.
	What an unbelievably ungrateful person you are.
	No gratitude.
	Perfect leftist.
	no gratitude keep up with what's trending subscribe on youtube today trending now on the larry alder show we're talking about the 1.9 trillion dollar so-called covet relief package Very little of it has anything to do with COVID relief and how the left doesn't seem to think there are any adverse consequences.
	I got an idea.
	If there's no adverse consequences, why, pray tell, haven't we just had some big massive bill like this before and end poverty, end suffering, end child poverty right away?
	There are no downsides.
	Nobody has to pay anything.
	There's this tree in the backyard called the money tree, called federal dollars.
	Don't you love those euphemisms?
	We need federal dollars.
	We need federal backing.
	We need federal support.
	This model is not sustainable without federal input.
	Remember what Jonathan Gruber said about Romneycare?
	He said, the dirty little secret is that some smart people have figured out a way of ripping off the federal government to the tune of $400 million a year, quote, to make the thing work, close quote.
	That's what he said.
	That's what he said.
	I didn't say it.
	He said it.
	And they keep saying there are 15 million people living below the federally defined level of poverty.
	That's because they exclude the welfare benefits that they get.
	Don't even count housing benefits.
	And government has no money.
	As Milton Friedman brilliantly said, there are four ways of sending money.
	The most efficient is your own money on yourself.
	The second most efficient is your own money on somebody else you care about.
	The third way is when you have, for example, a...
	Well, good.
	It's been lively.
	A lot of people differ with me, and you know you get on first.
	So there was affirmative action on The Dennis Prager Show.
	Let me summarize some of your calls.
	Please don't hang up.
	If you hang up, your comment disappears.
	All right, so Joe in Manhattan Beach, California, what is your take on reparations?
	He is a councilman, and there's currently a case going on.
	So, I don't know how it's figured out.
	Whom do you give money to, and who pays?
	People whose ancestors just arrived pay people.
	Whose ancestors just arrived?
	Do we pay blacks who just came from Africa in the last 50 years?
	What about a half-black?
	White mother, black father, or vice versa?
	Do we pay them half the amount?
	What if the black is a wealthy black?
	Do they get reparations?
	This is...
	It's a tragedy that it's being taken seriously.
	It's a moral tragedy.
	And it just reinforces the belief in too many blacks that they are victims.
	And whites live in fear of not being regarded as woke.
	And that's what it's all about.
	Let's see.
	Derek, Santa Fe Springs, New Mexico.
	What is the significance of wearing a yarmulke, and how would you feel if someone did not want to wear it?
	Well, I wear one on religious occasions, obviously at the synagogue, on my Sabbath, on Jewish holy days, but otherwise I do not.
	It's very common for, certainly has been historically, for Jews to wear it at home, let's say, and not outside.
	It is...
	The significance is yarmulke is a contraction, to the best of my knowledge, of yaremi eloka, which Hebrew means fear of God.
	You have something over your head to remind you there is something over your head.
	Let's see.
	Randall in Sarasota, Florida.
	What is it for women when you talk about the badness that comes out of each sex?
	Oh, what is the badness that comes out of women?
	Uh-huh.
	That emotions should govern policy.
	That produces as much evil as any lousy male trait.
	Let's see now.
	Rick and Alan, Texas fear is the strongest emotion.
	It's interesting.
	I wonder if that's true.
	That's a good one.
	Bob in Indiana can't really go against signs that say black-owned business.
	What about when companies say conservative-owned?
	Well, first of all, there's a big difference between ideas and race.
	Ideas do differ.
	Races don't differ.
	I would never go to a race-based place.
	It reminds me too much of Germany in the 30s when they had signs that said Aryan-owned business.
	All right, y'all.
	Hey, listen.
	Two trips coming up.
	A cruise with you in Europe and a trip to Israel.
	The banners are at DennisPrager.com.
	And help us at PragerU.com.
	It's fundraising month.
	God bless you.
