	Thank you.
	So, I think you know what I'm going to begin with.
	We are living in a make-believe world.
	That is my primary reaction.
	I will address specifically the trial and the verdict.
	But first, it's important to understand this is all a manufactured issue.
	There is no widespread police racist murdering of blacks.
	So the entire reason for this transfixing the country is an enormous, gigantic, unprecedented lie in American history.
	Alright?
	That's what's important to understand.
	By the way, he was not even charged with a racist killing.
	The issue, to the best of my knowledge, did not even arise.
	So why was it a national issue?
	Because a policeman allegedly caused the death or murdered or manslaughtered or committed homicide?
	It was because it caused...
	Well, I don't know if unprecedented in terms of being widespread.
	There were unprecedented riots.
	I'm not talking about protests.
	I'm talking about riots.
	Utterly destructive riots.
	About a dozen people killed.
	I don't know how many wounded.
	Police attacked.
	Businesses destroyed.
	Widespread.
	All because of a lie.
	That there is widespread police killing.
	Of blacks unarmed because of racism.
	The last number we have, which I have reported to you on a number of occasions, of unarmed blacks killed by police is 18 for a year.
	Is that correct?
	Heather McDonald has offered this, who's extremely reliable, because she cites the sources of her data.
	And for this...
	We had a national funeral with an ex-president.
	For a man who had he not resisted arrest, and he resisted arrest because he had a crime record.
	If he had not resisted arrest, you would not know his name.
	Would he have died anyway?
	Very possibly.
	Literally only God knows.
	I don't know.
	You don't know.
	The jury doesn't know.
	But it is a fair question.
	I know someone who died because of fentanyl.
	Not taken in by police, just died.
	He had three times the amount that is considered maximum.
	But I don't know.
	He may well have been killed by Derek Chauvin.
	Which leads me to a question I have not heard.
	Answered.
	There may be a good answer.
	But until I get a good answer, I believe it was a mistake not to have him testify.
	Unless the defense believed that he would be an awful witness on his own behalf.
	In which case, one has to assume that he knew that George Floyd was dying and still maintained.
	His pressure on the side of his neck.
	Pressure on the side of a neck, incidentally, does not cause someone to stop breathing.
	And it was, according to some, a somewhat routine practice for a suspect who would not get into a police car.
	If you saw the way he was treated by police prior to his being on the ground, you would see, and I saw this half a year ago, Anyone can see it.
	They kept almost begging him to get into the police car.
	And he said he couldn't breathe then.
	Nobody was touching him except to try to push him into the car.
	But the much, much larger picture here is that it's all rooted.
	The entire interest of the country is rooted.
	In a media and left-wing manufactured lie, the country is racist, systemically racist, and the police are brutal because they're racist.
	So what can you do?
	This will do nothing to prevent the next riot.
	Nothing.
	There probably was a slight disappointment on the part of the rioters, not protesters, but rioters.
	Protesters are one group and rioters are another.
	Probably was a sense of disappointment among some of the Antifa types that they didn't have a chance to cause mayhem.
	The sadness of this, I don't know if you saw, I don't even remember where I saw, I watched so many things.
	There was a video taken of a black man who was Outside, I believe.
	And his trying to hold back tears of joy when he was a middle-aged or older man, I don't remember.
	And you cannot not be moved.
	Many blacks really do believe that there is this Terrible society, filled with hate, not least among police for them.
	This man wasn't holding back tears in a Maxine Waters act.
	He was holding genuine tears back.
	People can sincerely believe something that isn't true.
	It's not uncommon.
	And he was very, very moved by the trial verdict, as were many blacks.
	But here is the question that I have posed all of my broadcast career.
	What is the greatest problem in black American life?
	Is it white racism or not?
	If you think it is, then this is what you understandably will be preoccupied with.
	Thank you.
	But if it isn't, why aren't you preoccupied, whether you're black or white, with the problem or problems that are the greatest problem or problems that confront black America?
	Let me put it to you this way.
	Let's imagine a magic moment, a miraculous event.
	All police are lovers of black human beings.
	That's one scenario.
	Another scenario.
	Every black has a father in his life.
	Which do you think would reduce black suffering more in the United States of America?
	To ask this question at any university is to be declared racist.
	Because every university declares racist anything it differs with.
	It does not have to be racist at all.
	You're asking what can help a group that is not exactly a racist question.
	It is in the left's interest of fomenting racial hatreds and dissent and division.
	So as to better destroy this country.
	That's the issue that is far larger than George Floyd or Derek Chauvin.
	The biggest victory is not for justice.
	It might well be a victory for justice.
	But the biggest victory is for those who wish to maintain the lie that America is racist.
	That's the victory.
	And now we move on.
	Nobody will say, and they're not.
	The whole line of the left is, oh, this is just one trial.
	There's still no justice for blacks.
	Really?
	There's still no justice for blacks.
	Just like IDs are racist.
	Voting IDs.
	I just heard the governor of Georgia...
	Fox News.
	And the reporter, either he or some reporter, said the obvious.
	What could be more racist than the claim that one group finds it harder than all other groups to get an ID?
	Right?

	The Dennis Prager Show, live from the relief factor being freezed.
	This is Carol Platt-Lebow for townhall.com.
	President Biden has formally established a commission to consider adding seats to the Supreme Court.
	Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer Both appointed by a Democratic president have opposed it, but the left is angry.
	They don't like the Supreme Court's rulings, so they want to change its composition.
	It's called court packing, from when, in 1937, Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt tried and failed to do it.
	President Biden must have forgotten he once called the idea of expanding the Supreme Court a terrible, terrible mistake and boneheaded.
	And make no mistake, it is a terrible idea.
	Any politically-driven effort to change the court's structure will only reinforce the perception that our judicial branch is guided by politics rather than by legal principle.
	Over time, a PAC court would surely erode confidence in the rule of law, which is indispensable to governing a free people.
	I'm Carol Platt-Lebowl.

	So the decision to pause the Johnson & Johnson was a catastrophe for worldwide public health.
	You realize that the people running the CDC and all the doctors and all the scientists and all the king's horses and all the king's men can't put together what they broke already.
	New York Times, Benjamin Mueller.
	Western warnings tarnish COVID vaccines that the world badly needs.
	Washington Post, CDC vaccine advisors seek more data on rare blood clots before deciding whether to resume Johnson & Johnson shots.
	Let me tell you right now, they're going to resume the shots.
	Why?
	Because the overwhelming calculus of risk factor here for any person with a brain is one death in 8 million.
	With a second person, it could be two deaths in 8 million, unless this person recovers, is not a reason.
	Two positive vaccines that could kill off the variants, that could kill off millions.
	We've had millions of people die from COVID around the world.
	Millions of people die.
	Millions of people got sick.
	The cost of COVID is extraordinary.
	There isn't any debate.
	We need these vaccines.
	Thank you, Donald Trump, for doing Operation Warp Speed, doing the guaranteed purchases of Pfizer, which gave them financial guarantees, giving other people startup money, giving other people.
	I mean, they just threw money at it.
	They said, all you scientists, refocus, get it done.
	Operation Warp Speed worked.
	There are four vaccines in the world, five if you count the Russia.
	New York Times, amid a deep residue of mistrust, American and European cautions on AstraZeneca and Johnson& Johnson risk igniting anti-vaccine fervor in countries that can't afford to be particular.
	They're not particular.
	This is not a dangerous drug.
	This is not.

	Let me just ask you, you're talking about the national media before it.
	Sometimes I try to figure out what is the real problem.
	I mean, we can all talk about Biden all day long and stuff.
	Well, that's obvious.
	We know what's preposterous, what's unconstitutional, what's un-American.
	But the real issue for me is that if we did not have a national media complicit with the Democratic Party, Let's face it, in our lifetimes, we've never seen anything like this.
	There was something called journalism, news, integrity.
	That went out the window.
	I hope everything changes, but so do millions of our fellow citizens.
	And this is a time where we've got to understand hope is far from sufficient.
	And this is a time where we're going.
	We're going to be here.
	Hey everybody, Dennis Prager here and I welcome you back to the show.
	And I want to remind you that you might want to laugh during this time.
	I think it's very important.
	In that case, you might want to see this movie, Church People.
	And it's a very funny film.
	Mike Lindell is the executive producer.
	It's available at...
	It's SalemNow.com, and it is also affirmative of Christian values and the gospel, as well as being funny.
	The number of evangelical funny films is not large, so for that alone, I think it is worth your time.
	It's very funny.
	It's about a pastor who has a lot of problems in his church.
	Anyway, the rest is to be seen.
	So, this is at churchpeople, that's the name of the movie, at salemnow.com, where there are a lot of fantastic films.
	salemnow.com.
	Yes, indeed.
	Now, yeah, I think this is the call that summarizes a lot.
	I don't know.
	It's not that I don't know.
	Only God knows, but did the jury reach the right verdict is not the question.
	The question is, did the jury have any choice in reaching the verdict that it did?
	That's the most honest question.
	It may have been the right verdict.
	But did it reach it for the right reasons?
	Because they honestly believed that he committed second-degree murder.
	I wonder if they had put first-degree murder, what the result would have been.
	So the call that summarizes it is Matt in Longview, Texas.
	If my daughter were on the jury, I'd tell her to vote guilty out of concern for her safety.
	Now, I don't know what I would tell my daughter if she were on the jury, but I certainly believe that unless a juror Was prepared to be hated by the left, which is all that matters if you're hated by the right.
	It is irrelevant.
	People don't fear for their lives if the right hates them.
	Right?
	You'd much rather have Ted Cruz hate you than Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
	And the New York Times, and CNN, and NPR, and Maxine Waters.
	Get it?
	It's a lot safer to be hated by conservatives than hated by leftists.
	Not just a matter of getting killed.
	Safer in the sense that you'll have your livelihood.
	You'll still have your reputation.
	You'll still have your Twitter account.
	So we don't know how certain they were beyond a reasonable doubt within one day.
	Given the environment, you walk by to get into the courthouse.
	It looks like you're in a Central American country during a coup d'etat.
	That's what the left has caused in this country.
	We do know that a defense witness, what was it, a pig's head?
	It's not a pig's head, pig's blood.
	Pig's blood left at their door?
	It was splattered.
	Splattered.
	That was just one defense witness.
	Imagine a juror.
	And everybody knows the names would have come out because the New York Times would have printed them.
	Now they go home, back to regular life.
	I'm not saying that they voted against what they believe.
	First of all, it's unbelievably easy to talk yourself into believing anything.
	But secondly, maybe they did.
	But is it fair to raise the issue of intimidation?
	Your city will blow up if you don't vote correctly?
	What would have happened had it not been second-degree murder and two manslaughter charges?
	Was it two manslaughter charges and one murder?
	Is that correct?
	What would have happened?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	But there's every reason to believe that there would have been a blow-up.
	Exonerated on the count of second-degree murder.
	Okay.
	Let's set fire to some buildings here.
	Let's throw projectiles at officers.
	I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of policemen were relieved.
	That's the reign of terror of the left in this country.
	And it will be so recorded sometime in the future by historians.
	But living through it now...
	To say it is to march to the beat of a different drummer.
	Let's put it that way.
	Yes, indeed.
	Dan in Minneapolis, hello.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hey there.
	I am.
	Oh, nice to hear you.
	Thank you.
	I noticed that...
	In Romans, the second chapter, it talks about judging others for what you're guilty of.
	And many times you accuse the left of doing the same thing.
	You accuse the left of...
	You say the truth is not a value to the left.
	Truth is not a value for you, either.
	And what I'm talking about is many times...
	You said that Chauvin was using proper police procedure, and that's just a plain-out lie.
	Minneapolis police chief and two lieutenants and others definitely said that Chauvin was going against police policy.
	So let me ask you a question.
	When the left says that there was Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, is that a lie?
	No.
	Okay.
	So, you acknowledge that there could be lies and mistakes.
	Is it possible that I read the same manual and came to a different conclusion, and I'm not lying, and is it possible that they wanted to cover their own buttocks and say, oh, this violated procedure, when we have, if you look on the internet, that's how I got it.
	I have never lied in 35 years.
	Lying is the greatest sin a human can commit short of rape and murder.
	It's wrong.
	I'm sorry?
	Yeah, that's true.
	Okay, so then why would I pick, of all things, why would I pick that?
	All of a sudden I violate the greatest value of my life because of Minneapolis police procedure manuals.
	Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	Our structure in our country that's outside of the government.
	Private companies that fund the political campaigns of people in both political parties are a bigger threat to our freedoms and liberties than even our own government.
	Now, I'm not saying that our government is not a threat to our freedoms and liberties.
	Of course it is.
	But we have a process to make sure that those freedoms and liberties are protected and not infringed upon.
	The Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, even the Eighth Amendment.
	Due process, cross-examination of witnesses, a speedy trial of your peers, not to have excessive bail.
	All these things are clearly defined in the Bill of Rights.

	The Vice President of the United States of America.
	Honest to goodness, this is like a skit right out of the TV show Veep.
	You know, bad language, but it's honestly one of the most hysterical political satires in the history of political satires.
	And Kamala Harris is...
	Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
	What's her character's name?
	It's Selena Meyers, right?
	Selena Meyers, right.
	I think Kamala Harris is the actual character played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the TV series Veep.

	Where do you think we are in this country?
	Where do you think we are and where do you think we may be going?
	We are now with a president who refused to answer the questions straightforwardly as a candidate who has now made it very clear he's going to make every effort with a high degree, a high probability of success.
	To pack the Supreme Court of the United States.
	This is something he avoided throughout the campaign.
	It was not his finest or most candid moment in his campaign among, I would say, a number of such moments.
	So I think this is just the latest development in altering what is America, our government, and the relationship with the governed.
	It's clear that there's an effort to change the relationship between the governed and the government, to make the government larger and more ubiquitous if such a thing is imaginable.
	I think that, and partly, the reason for that, if you will, suspended cognitive realization on the part of the American people is because The national media, it's left-wing, But nonetheless, it is the national media is not in any way bringing critical judgment or great energy to their responsibilities to be either a watchdog or to challenge power.

	So, I'd like to read to you and to the caller who called in.
	So, use of neck restraints and chokeholds.
	This is from 0-2, 0-7, 10, and 12. Last time was April 16th.
	2012. Neck restraint.
	Non-deadly force option defined as compressing one or both sides of a person's neck with an arm or leg without applying direct pressure to the trachea or airway, that is front of neck.
	Only sworn employees who have received training from the MPD, Minneapolis Police Department Training Unit, are authorized to use neck restraints.
	The MPD authorizes two types of neck restraints, conscious neck restraint and unconscious neck restraint.
	Conscious neck restraint, the subject is placed in a neck restraint with intent to control and not to render the subject unconscious by only applying light to moderate pressure.
	This is what I had read prior to...
	Making my comments about this was Minneapolis police procedure.
	So, it's a fair question.
	Did he apply light to moderate or more?
	I don't know.
	Do I believe that the Minneapolis Police Department is going to testify in a trial?
	Oh, listen, he did exactly what we expect him to do.
	People want to live.
	The reign of terror of the left in this country is a bigger problem than the Minneapolis police manual.
	The reign of terror of the media and of the rioters, that's a pretty big deal.
	It takes a lot of courage to go on national TV and say, I'm sorry, but yeah, he followed the procedure.
	And literally only God would know that he placed more than moderate pressure with his knee.
	I don't know.
	I don't think anybody knows.
	We do know that they had no intent upon doing this.
	All they did was want to get him into a police car.
	He has a record of violence.
	The guy was taken in because of that.
	And because of his passing a counterfeit bill and not willing to go to the police station.
	Nothing would have happened otherwise.
	But the only time you'll hear that...
	It's among the dissenters in this society, people known as conservatives.
	That was the Minneapolis police manual that I read from.
	Does that constitute a lie to quote the manual?
	Yes, to my last caller it does.
	Truth is, I had no agenda.
	I had no agenda to defend Derek Chauvin.
	I have an agenda to defend America.
	Because it's being destroyed by the left.
	And this is an example.
	All it will be is just another example for your children at school to show them, to prove to them how racist, systemically racist America is.
	This despicable president that we have said that in his speech.
	He is truly despicable, this president.
	I couldn't stand Barack Obama, but I have to say Joe Biden outdoes him.
	By the way, I didn't dislike Bill Clinton, just for the record.
	Just because you're a Democrat president doesn't mean that I loathe you.
	But he's loathsome.
	He is truly loathsome.
	He is an abettor of the division of this country.
	He's done more damage since taking office than any president did in eight years of office, or four years of office since Andrew Johnson, the post-Lincoln president who screwed up the country.
	That's the manual.
	I would also argue that there is a very...
	Great likelihood that a lot of police officers, including black police officers, will say it's just not worth getting involved with black suspects.
	It just isn't.
	I've got a family to feed.
	I've got a reputation to keep.
	Nobody will know if I didn't do anything.
	Yeah, so more people will die as a result of the left's assault on the police.
	But the left doesn't care if more people die, including more blacks.
	They care about the 18 unarmed blacks, nearly every one of whom was attacking a police officer, that were killed in, what is it, 2019?

	I'm not kidding you.
	Selena Meyers, I mean Kamala Harris made an announcement.
	She was asked by reporters at a roundtable discussion about whether she's going to visit the border itself.
	She didn't answer.
	Then she said her job is to focus on the root cause of the migration problem and that she will be traveling to Mexico and Guatemala soon.
	She will be involved, according to the White House, in high-level diplomatic work.

	Could you give us some of the inside story?
	How hard was it to get the U.S. government with the corporations to create that historic success?
	Well, it was very hard.
	We had an FDA that takes a long time to approve things, as you know.
	You had Fauci saying it's going to take three years, maybe much longer.
	Most people thought you couldn't do it in five years.
	Most people thought you'd never even get a vaccine.
	I felt confident that we did something else.
	We spent billions of dollars on manufacturing the vaccine before we even knew if it was going to work.
	It was a calculated risk.

	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Hi, everybody.
	Here's a question to ponder.
	If there were no mob threatening to destroy every major city, various areas in those cities, if the media were honest and not hate-filled against police, against whites, Would the verdict have been the same?
	Would it have been reached as quickly?
	I do not know the answer.
	I think it is a valid question to ponder, however.
	Do we have verdict by mob in the United States?
	The purpose of the left wing mobs and the ratio of left wing mobs to right wing mobs Is the purpose to intimidate?
	And the answer is yes.
	Look at the corporations from Coca-Cola to Delta.
	There was a full-page ad in the New York Times and other newspapers, I think the Wall Street Journal as well, from an incredibly large number of corporations.
	Saying that we need to preserve American democracy.
	So you will ask, really?
	Okay, who exactly is opposed to preserving American democracy that you would take out a full-page ad in these national newspapers?
	And the answer is, every state that passes any voting laws is actually working against democracy.
	Now you know how the mob...
	Has frightened the cowards of big business into submission.
	Because that's one gigantic lie, like all the others, like the Russian collusion story.
	That's the America we're living in today.
	It is at a tipping point.
	You have to fight.
	You have to know how to do it.
	One good way is to put up articles.
	That you didn't necessarily write and let people judge accordingly.
	Half of America knows that the left holds this country by its neck.
	If there is a chokehold in this country, it's the left on this country.
	Gerardo in Albany, New York.
	Hello.
	Thank you for taking my call, Dennis.
	I just wanted to say that the winners yesterday were what I call the mobocracy trial, and I was fortunate enough to do it through my daily work.
	I knew that the evidence was good on both sides, and it should have been a situation where It would have been undetermined the cause of death.
	As you stated earlier to the caller about the policy and procedures by the police department, I also saw that, and he did go by the policy procedures, so that was totally false on that individual's statement.
	But I also wanted to say this, Dennis.
	I've been a police officer for about 20 years, and I can tell you, Personally and from speaking to other police officers, things have changed.
	As people, as you said earlier, we are not going to be the people out there being proactive.
	And it's thought, you know, the black community and the black politicians in this country want us to not arrest...
	People of color that are committing crimes, that's exactly what we're going to do.
	Because I am not going to put my future, my family's future, I got kids, I'm not going to put their lives on the line.
	And it's a sad statement, but it's true.
	That's right.
	Well, I bless you for your work.
	Most Americans do.
	The left loathes you because they loathe law and order.
	Independently of one another.
	They hate order.
	They love chaos.
	It's a nihilistic force.
	Anyway, you heard folks from a police officer, this one in Albany, New York.
	They're not going to be proactive.
	That means more people will die, especially blacks, because most black murderers kill blacks.
	And that doesn't matter to Maxine Waters.
	By the way, I truly believe that.
	I truly believe that Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, the New York Times don't give a damn about black lives.
	I truly believe that.
	I'm not saying they want them dead.
	I believe they don't give a damn.
	Blacks are there for these people to be used to further left-wing power.
	The entire purpose of black America.
	Just as the entire purpose of the working class for Lenin was to gain power.
	Lenin didn't give a damn about workers.
	Marx didn't give a damn about workers.
	Engels didn't give a damn.
	Stalin didn't give a damn.
	Communists used workers.
	Leftists used blacks.
	You are a pawn if you are a black to the leftist.
	That's all you are.
	The willingness of many blacks to be pawns for the left is one of the saddest things, but it's not the only group.
	I am a Jew.
	It is a disgrace how many Jews are on the left.
	It is a disgrace.
	It is what Jews call a Chilul Hashem.
	It is a desecration of God's name for a rabbi to stand up and chant Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Yom Kippur, on Rosh Hashanah, instead of the prophets.
	These people make Judaism a joke, like left-wing Christians, including the Pope, make Christianity look like a joke.
	The left is pure rot.
	If you care about blacks, you should support the police, not weaken them.
	Whites are not threatening blacks, including white officers.
	We will return.

	Where do you think we are in this country?
	Where do you think...
	We are and where do you think we may be going?
	We are now with a president who refused to answer the questions straightforwardly as a candidate who has now made it very clear he's going to make every effort with a high degree, a high probability of success to pack the Supreme Court of the United States.
	This is something he avoided throughout the campaign.
	It was not his finest or most candid moment in his campaign among, I would say, a number of such moments.
	So I think, you know, this is just the latest development in altering what is America, our government, and the relationship with the government.
	It's clear that there's an effort to...
	To change the relationship between the governed and the government, to make the government larger and more ubiquitous if such a thing is imaginable.
	I think that, and partly the reason for that, if you will, suspended cognitive realization on the part of the American people is because the national media, it's left-wing.
	But nonetheless, it is the national media is not in any way bringing critical judgment or great energy to their responsibilities to be either a watchdog or to challenge power.

	President announced yesterday we're skedaddling from Afghanistan.
	That was not the Trump plan.
	The Trump plan was to leave troops at Bagram as far as I understand it.
	Now we're not going to do that.
	What's going to happen to Bagram?
	It's going to be like Taliban Central.
	Well, Bagram, I think there's a missed opportunity there to talk about the enduring relevance of Bagram, particularly in light of great power competition, right?
	In other words, if we go to war with China, bombers coming out of Bagram provide us with an opportunity to target Western targets for China, including their space and their counter space assets.
	And I really think as we...
	To confront, honestly, the fact that the American people do want us to responsibly reduce our presence over time, we can have a grown-up conversation about where are the areas where we want to leave an enduring presence as we transition to great power competition, and Bagram is one of those.
	The other thing I'd say is setting the date on 9-11-2021 I think is a really dumb move.
	I think it hands a PR victory to the Taliban.
	I think it took a long time.
	I think it hands a PR victory to the Taliban.
	And...
	I'm looking at your calls.
	And what I'd like to tell you is I will not be doing the male-female hour.
	I say that with great sadness.
	It's Wednesday, the second hour is coming up of the show.
	But...
	On those rare occasions when some issue is just so dominant, I feel that I have really no choice.
	And this is one of those cases.
	I repeat, the left's view of blacks is not help them, is not protect them, it is use them.
	Same view of Hispanics, same view...
	is of everybody except white males who are not used, they are abused.
	The police, like the policemen who just called from Albany, New York, at great, I think for most of them, I think for most of them, at great personal pain, Thank you.
	We'll allow black suspects to flee.
	A lot of policemen enter police work idealistically.
	They would like to capture the bad guys so that they don't hurt the innocent.
	But they've been told now, if the bad guy is a person of color, you can have your life ruined.
	Why was the police officer in Ferguson who killed Michael Brown, who was attacking him and trying to get his gun, and exonerated by a largely black jury, why did he lose his job?
	Why did he have to undergo such unfair suffering?
	He and his family, from the media, from Barack Obama, who mentioned Ferguson as an example.
	Of police racist brutality at the end of his administration.
	He just cavalierly uses the term Ferguson as synonymous with police brutality against blacks.
	But it wasn't synonymous with that.
	And of course the press didn't call him out on it because the press does the same thing.
	The press is in the service of the left.
	And of the Democratic Party, which is now left and not liberal.
	A lot of people will suffer because of this verdict, and I'm not even saying the verdict was wrong.
	But nobody believes that it was arrived at without any fear.
	We'll be back.
	This is Carol Platt-Lebow for townhall.com.
	President Biden has formally established a commission to consider adding seats to the Supreme Court.
	Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, both appointed by a Democratic president, have opposed it.
	But the left is angry.
	They don't like the Supreme Court's ruling, so they want to change its composition.
	It's called court packing, from when, in 1937, Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt tried and failed to do it.
	President Biden must have forgotten he once called the idea of expanding the Supreme Court a terrible, terrible mistake and boneheaded.
	And make no mistake, it is a terrible idea.
	Any politically driven effort to change the court's structure will only reinforce the perception that our judicial branch is guided by politics rather than by legal principle.
	Over time, a packed court would surely erode confidence in the rule of law, which is indispensable to governing a free people.

	So the decision to pause the Johnson & Johnson was a catastrophe for worldwide public health.
	You realize that the people running the CDC and all the doctors and all the scientists and all the king's horses and all the king's men can't put together what they broke already.
	New York Times' Benjamin Mueller.
	Western warnings tarnish COVID vaccines that the world badly needs.
	Washington Post's CDC vaccine advisors seek more data on rare blood clots before deciding whether to resume Johnson& Johnson shots.
	Let me tell you right now, they're going to resume the shots.
	Why?
	Because the overwhelming calculus of risk factor here for any person with a brain is one death in eight million.
	With a second person, it could be two deaths in eight million, unless this person recovers.
	It's not a reason to pause the vaccine that could kill off the variants, that could kill off millions.
	We've had millions of people die from COVID around the world.
	Millions of people die.
	Millions of people got sick.
	The cost of COVID is extraordinary.
	There isn't any debate.
	We need these vaccines.
	Thank you, Donald Trump, for doing Operation Warp Speed, doing the guaranteed purchases of Pfizer, which gave them financial guarantees, giving other people startup money, giving other people...
	I mean, they just threw money at it.
	They said, all you scientists, refocus, get it done.
	Operation Warp Speed worked.
	There are four vaccines in the world, five if you count the Russia.
	Now...
	New York Times, amid a deep residue of mistrust, American and European cautions on AstraZeneca and Johnson& Johnson risk igniting anti-vaccine fervor in countries that can't afford to be particular.
	They're not particular.

	Sometimes I try to figure out what is the real problem.
	I mean, we can all talk about Biden all day long and stuff.
	Well, that's obvious.
	We know what's preposterous, what's unconstitutional, what's un-American.
	But the real issue for me is that if we did not have a national media complicit with the Democratic Party, Let's face it, in our lifetimes, we've never seen anything like this.
	There was something called journalism, news, integrity.
	That went out the window.
	I hope everything changes, but so do millions of other of our fellow citizens.

	All right, everybody. everybody.
	We normally would have the male-female hour now.
	It's Wednesday.
	It breaks my heart because that's such a great hour.
	But there's an elephant in the room, as they say, and that is, of course, the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial.
	And people are preoccupied with it.
	That, by the way, is in itself a tragedy.
	I don't say there should not have been a trial.
	There should have been a trial.
	But the preoccupation of the country is entirely media and left-wing induced.
	We don't even know the name of the police officer at the U.S. Capitol who, unprovoked, shot to death a white right-wing demonstrator at the Capitol.
	We don't even know the person.
	We suspect it's a male.
	We don't even know his name, let alone is he not on trial.
	Now why is that?
	Because the dead person is white and because the dead person is a right-winger.
	That's why.
	So it is unworthy of attention.
	Unworthy of attention.
	It is a scandal that we do not know who that officer is and why the woman was shot to death.
	Is that unfair?
	Of course it's not unfair.
	The media direct what people are concerned with.
	And once people are concerned with it, I have to be concerned with it, because then I'm neglecting what people are concerned with.
	That's the way it works.
	It's unfortunate.
	I try to withstand it much of the time, but I can't do it all the time.
	Then I'm ignoring what is happening.
	Even if what is happening is based on exaggeration or a lie, I have to cover it.
	Because it is preoccupying people.
	Anyway, there is no male-female hour today.
	That is the reason.
	I don't know whether the verdict was fairly arrived at or was arrived at in part.
	In large measure and small measure due to intimidation.
	However, there is no question that when you have mobs outside a courtroom waiting to explode and mobs all over the country waiting to explode and burn down parts of cities, and your name will come out if you did not render the verdict the left wants.
	Got to be a pretty, pretty heroic person.
	And heroes are not common.
	You have to be a pretty heroic person to have not voted for all three.
	Though I don't know, would there have been rioting if two of the three charges he was found guilty on, but not on the second-degree murder charge?
	I think there would have been rioting, but not as much.
	I just don't know.
	They wanted all three done.
	For those who believe that police cannot be found guilty in a crime against a civilian, especially a black civilian, this was a great moment for them.
	As I mentioned in the first hour, I saw a video of a black man Who just held back tears.
	It was clear when he heard the verdict.
	It was a very touching video.
	A very sad video.
	Because he truly believes that blacks are singled out by police to die.
	And there is no truth to that.
	Blacks are singled out by black murderers to die.
	And that does not bring the same tears to blacks or whites.
	I want you to imagine a media that actually was not left-elected.
	Imagine for a moment that as much attention were paid to a six-year-old killed by a black gang member in some inner city in the country, Baltimore, Chicago, New York, L.A. And we learned as much about the family grieving for their six-year-old as we did about the Floyd family.
	Just imagine that for a moment, what a different America it would be.
	But there are so many of them, of these innocents killed by blacks in the inner city, dwarfing the number killed by police.
	Oh, Stalin's old line.
	One death is a tragedy, and a million is a statistic.
	Of course, there's not a million killed here, but I'm just giving you the Stalin line.
	And that is the world in which we live.
	It will have no effect, however.
	I was mentioning to you the effect that it might have on those who believe.
	That a white policeman cannot be found guilty for killing a black, or even, some will contend, almost any civilian.
	And will it have any effect?
	Yeah, I'll tell you the effect that it has on the left.
	The mob works.
	Intimidation works.
	You think there will be fewer riots the next time the press decides to place something up?
	Let me give you an example here.
	About Daunte Wright, right?
	That's another killing of a black man.
	That a lot of the activists raised his name.
	Oh, now, you know, what about Daunte Wright?
	I reckon Spectator reported the following.
	We never hear the last of these names.
	Eric Garner...
	Alton Sterling, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Rashad Brooks, and now Dante Wright.
	We will never hear the last of them because there will always be more and because certain people are invested in forcing us to hear about them.
	But what they demand we hear isn't the truth.
	So...
	The author goes on to speak about another author who, remember, Dante Wright was theoretically stopped because he had things hanging from his, deodorant hanging from his rearview mirror, air freshener.
	Billy Binion of Reason Magazine pronounced Dante Wright dead as a result of that idiotic statute.
	He's wrong.
	The law, disgracefully ridiculous though it might be, did not kill Dante Wright.
	Dante Wright, or at least the life he led, killed Dante Wright.
	He wasn't pulled over because he had air fresheners hanging from his rearview mirror.
	He was pulled over because he had expired tags on his license plate.
	Then it was noticed that he had air fresheners hanging from the rearview mirror.
	Then it was noticed he had an outstanding warrant.
	Then it was noticed he resisted arrest.
	Then it was noticed he had an outstanding...
	I read that part, I'm sorry.
	Then it was noticed that he got back in his car and drove away from the police, which is what he had done before.
	Wright had fled from officers in June.
	The circumstances from which that police encounter arose Make for scintillating reading.
	He was reported to the police for waving a gun around.
	And when the cops showed up, it turned out Wright didn't have a permit for the gun.
	He ran away and he was cited in order to appear in court.
	He didn't.
	Which occasioned the warrant for his arrest.
	That's not all that appears on Wright's record.
	There was the February arrest for aggravated robbery.
	By the way, why was he out?
	Arrested for aggravated robbery.
	There was a disorderly conduct charge arising from a 2019 incident.
	There was the guilty plea in late 2019 to possession and sale of marijuana.
	And there was an arrest warrant for armed robbery.
	Armed robbery?
	Is that serious enough?
	Wright was accused of chokeholding a woman and threatening her at gunpoint.
	Demanding $820 intended that she had intended to use to pay her rent.
	This is the Dante Wright that the police are...
	It's reported they just pulled him over because driving while black and having deodorant hanging from your rearview mirror.
	What did I say?
	Deodorant.
	Deodorant.
	Air freshener.
	I'm sorry.
	It's correct.
	It's different.

	Hello, Dennis.
	Hi.
	What an honor to talk to you.
	Thank you.
	I didn't get to tell your screener, but I have some personal experience of intimidation in a jury.
	I was on a personal injury trial a few years ago, a 12-member jury.
	And finally, when the deliberation stayed, when we were behind the doors, the lead person on the jury said, I've got to get to, it was like December 23rd, he said, I've got a plane to catch.
	We're all voting this way.
	And there was no secret balloting.
	And I disagreed with it, but everybody, 11 people were all in agreement.
	I was in disagreement.
	And you want to go against what's pretty intimidating, say the least.
	Alright, you certainly have that experience.
	My position on this verdict is, I don't know if it was correct or not.
	I'm not sure anybody knows if it was correct or not.
	Would George Floyd have died because of the fentanyl overdose, no matter what?
	That's one question.
	If he did not have fentanyl, would he have died with the knee on the side of the neck, no matter what?
	That's another question.
	Was there an interplay between the knee on the side of the neck and his condition in general, and specifically with regard to three times the amount of fentanyl that is necessary to be fatal?
	Perhaps only God knows the answer.
	I, frankly, I don't know why Derek Chauvin continued with the knee on the neck once the suspect was completely still.
	Do you have an answer to that one?
	Right.
	I don't know why Derek Chauvin didn't take the stand.
	Did he want to and his lawyers talked him out of it?
	Did he not want to, and his lawyers affirmed the validity of that decision?
	There's only one person who knows what was on the mind of Derek Chauvin, and that's Derek Chauvin.
	Why was the jury not afforded the ability to hear that?
	The notion that he would have been just clobbered by...
	The prosecution in cross-examination doesn't make sense to me.
	What are they going to say to him?
	You know, you went too long?
	And he'll say, apparently I did.
	That was not my intent.
	What are they going to say then?
	He was not a human to the jurors.
	He was just the monster looking...
	Looking like he was thinking about what he's going to have for dinner while a man died under his knee.
	That's what it looks like, correct?
	My issue is not with the verdict.
	My issue is with the intimidation of the jury that if you deny, it's as dishonest as denying what the video showed.
	All right.
	Let's go to Edith in Granada Hills, California.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Am I on?
	Hi there.
	Bad at shooting?
	I wanted to give some context to that.
	I watched a 45-minute raw footage of the event.
	The cameraman just happened to be in the same crowd that ended up at that doorway where she was shot.
	And in the moments before she was shot, the crowd had just bursted all the glass out of the doors, and now this mob is chanting, they started chanting, break it down, break it down.
	And in the midst of all that, she went and started climbing through the frame of the broken window.
	Now the officer on the other side, he doesn't know what this mob's got.
	All they know is that they just broke down the windows, they're chanting, break it down, and now one of them's climbing through the window.
	What's he supposed to think other than that if he lets one through, that whole mob's going to come through.
	And so I think, you know, a man's got a job to defend his perimeter, and I think he had to do what he did.
	And to say that it was an unprovoked, correct, when the mob was chanting, break it down, and you don't know what kind of weapons they might have.
	But they didn't have weapons.
	Yeah, but they're on the other side of the door.
	And they just busted out the glass.
	Well, he was the only officer that shot anything lethal at anybody.
	She was unarmed.
	And had it been...
	He didn't know that either.
	He just knew it.
	If he left one person through that window, he doesn't know that the whole mob isn't going to come in that room.
	Right.
	Well, the whole mob did come in, and they didn't hurt any of the officers.
	They didn't come in because the first one that tried got shot in the neck and bled out on the floor.
	That's not true.
	They came in...
	No, they didn't stop the mob from going in.
	That's the whole point, that they did go in.
	So, let me ask you this.
	If it were a left-wing mob, as in all the other riots of the...
	I think this was a left-wing mob, because just to the left of Ashley Babbitt was the man known as Jason X. Okay, alright.
	Some of his footage was taken on there, too, and you could actually see...
	Alright, alright, I'm not going to get into that, okay?
	I'm not going to get into that.
	Okay, let me just ask you.
	If it were in any other city where a left-wing mob was doing what it did, and a black unarmed person were shot to death by a white policeman, do you think we would know the policeman's name?
	Yeah, you know why I don't think we would know it this time?
	When you look at Jaden X's footage, you can see the officer who shot her.
	And he is a dark-skinned police officer.
	All right, okay, but that didn't answer my question.
	All I'm asking is, does the media play fair?
	That's all I'm asking.
	And I appreciate your call.
	I will be taking more of them.
	What is the next step for the left?
	That's the question here.

	So the decision to pause the Johnson & Johnson was a catastrophe for worldwide public health.

	Washington Post.
	CDC vaccine advisors seek more data on rare blood clots before deciding whether to resume Johnson& Johnson shots.
	Let me tell you right now, they're going to resume the shots.
	Why?
	Because the overwhelming calculus of risk factor here for any person with a brain is one death in eight million.
	With a second person, it could be two deaths in eight million, unless this person recovers.
	It's not a reason to pause the vaccine that could kill off the variants, that could kill off millions.
	We've had millions of people die from COVID around the world.
	Millions of people die.
	Millions of people got sick.
	The cost of COVID is extraordinary.

	Let me just ask you, you're talking about the national media before it.
	Sometimes I try to figure out what is the real problem.
	I mean, we can all talk about Biden all day long and stuff.
	Well, that's obvious.
	We know what's preposterous, what's unconstitutional, what's un-American.
	But the real issue for me is that if we did not have a national media complicit with the Democratic Party, Let's face it, in our lifetimes, we've never seen anything like this.
	There was something called journalism, news, integrity.
	That went out the window.
	I hope everything changes, but so do millions of our fellow citizens.

	It isn't deferred.
	It's cancelled.
	Let's be honest.
	I'm not going to do it tomorrow.
	Well, my apologies, but the preoccupation of the country, I believe incorrectly, directed by the nefarious media, with an agenda, and the agenda is not truth.
	The agenda is to prove America is racist and use the black community for further power for the left.
	Blacks are to the left what workers were to the communists in the Soviet Union and elsewhere.
	A group to be used for whom they didn't give a damn.
	About whom they didn't give a damn.
	It should be obvious because wherever the left governs, blacks suffer.
	That would seem to me to be fairly indicative.
	More black people will die the more quote-unquote reforms are placed on police.
	That's just a fact.
	It is a fact that does not in any way disturb black or white leftists.
	Why doesn't it disturb them?
	Because their interests have nothing to do with blacks or the welfare of blacks.
	It's to foment hatred of whites and hatred of America.
	And they succeed.
	And that's why this is the preoccupying issue of the day.
	Larry in Charlottesville, Virginia.
	Hello, Dennis Prager.
	Hello, sir.
	Hi.
	I just wanted to call just to see.
	I'm just going to say real quick, I grew up a liberal Democrat.
	I've evolved conservative, independent or Republican.
	But I just want to ask you a yes or no question.
	Do you think Derek Chauvin, with 14 other complaints against him, do you think he's guilty of anything at all in this whole scenario?
	Yes.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thank you.
	God bless you.
	Have a beautiful rest of the day.
	Thank you, sir.
	I asked earlier, why did he remain?
	And I wish he took the stand to explain it.
	Why once it was clear that there was no resistance and that he was obviously not even breathing.
	Why continue with the knee on the neck?
	That's the obvious question.
	There are other questions that are also fair, however.
	Did the knee on the neck cause George Floyd's death?
	And I'll tell you how you might determine the answer to that if it's determinable.
	I don't know if this arose during the trial.
	I don't even know if there's data to answer the question.
	How many suspects had a knee to the side of their neck in Minneapolis, just to use their police department, and didn't die?
	Or even more acute, did anybody else ever die in Minneapolis Police Department history because of a knee on the side of the neck?
	Now, let us say that nobody can come up with a single instance of that being used, and I read to you that it is part of the Minneapolis Police Department procedure, though they may say he used excessive force.
	I don't know, and I don't know how that's determined.
	Nevertheless, if something was used, let's say, a hundred times, Maybe a thousand.
	I have no, I truly have no idea.
	And no one died.
	Then the notion that this is what, well, two notions, that he used it to kill him deliberately, which I do not believe, or that he even died of that, becomes very unlikely.
	Something else might have done it, and this exacerbated the condition?
	These are legitimate questions if you wish to ask them.
	But it does seem to me that something wrong was done.
	To answer the Charlottesville, Virginia caller who just called.
	However, I don't know if the verdict was reached because of truth.
	But because of fear or even a combination.

	Ben in Mission Viejo, California.
	Hello.
	Hi, good morning, Dennis.
	How are you doing?
	I'm well, thank you.
	Yeah, I just want to add a couple of things.
	If we go back to May when we saw this incident happen, You know, with Chauvin, you know, kneeling on his neck, I think we're all astonished and disgusted with it.
	I'm not sure it contributed to it.
	So my point being is, you know, I think that, like Pelosi said, Floyd was sacrificed.
	I think you could say, you know, sacrificed.
	And I think that the verdict of that, you know, came out where the police are going to need better.
	I think that was a real crux of the situation.
	I think he did use excessive force.
	I'm not a law enforcement professional myself, but that's my thought.
	That incident really galvanized him, and now that the verdict has come out, and guilty, I think it's just really, hopefully it's going to take the wind out of the sails of this.
	Yeah, okay, that's very important that you said that.
	My heart is with you, but I differ 100%.
	There is no such thing as taking the wind out of the sails of the left.
	It doesn't exist.
	They create the wind.
	Therefore, it's irrelevant.
	The media makes the wind and then they sail.
	These aren't legitimate winds.
	Winds.
	W-I-N-D-S. These are...
	Fake wins.
	So if one is removed, you get another storm.
	You go from storm to storm.
	In arguably the most important book I wrote, aside from my Bible commentary, Still the Best Hope, where I explain the left, and I explain America, and I explain the Islamists.
	It's three books in one.
	Still the Best Hope.
	It's a very, very important book, and I explain.
	I give a list, I think, of 11 hysterias.
	Those are the winds of the left.
	It's a great phrase, the winds.
	Hysteria is their wind.
	I used to call it their oxygen, but I like that.
	Take the winds out of their sails.
	There's no such thing.
	Nothing does.
	If not one black were killed by one policeman, In 2021, it would not take the wind out of their sails.
	They've gone from equality to equity.
	They know that there is almost no bias against blacks in organized life in this country.
	So what they do now is ask for the results to be the equity as opposed to equality.
	So United announces that no matter what, half the places in their pilot school will be female and people of color.
	No matter what.
	Did they ever address the issue?
	Well, wait a minute.
	So if excellence is not your criterion for who becomes a pilot for United, why doesn't that affect the safety of United?
	And then they lie.
	Safety will not be compromised.
	Well, if safety will not be compromised by reserving half the places for pilots to certain groups, then that means that until now you have been bigots.
	You have had perfectly capable blacks and women, and you have denied them places in the cockpit because of their sex or race.
	Is that true, United?
	So you have been racist and you have been completely misogynistic in the choice of pilots?
	Well, those are your only choices, correct?
	Why would I trust such a group?
	Anyway, does anybody really believe that?
	You think United Airlines saw a talented black pilot and said, no, that guy's black.
	No way.
	You think that?
	It's inconceivable.
	I'll tell you how I know it's inconceivable, because on their flights, you have opening video, and it almost always features a black pilot.
	They're so proud of it, which is fine.
	I have no problem with that.
	So it's hard to believe that they were plain racist.
	In preferring non-black pilots to completely talented black pilots.
	In other words, they create the hysteria, and that's why they go to equity from equality, because there's already equality overwhelmingly in this country.

	I'm like 50% with you today.
	Okay.

	Uh-oh.
	You see, there's a lot of breaking up going on.
	Let me just say for...

	And why it has not been repaired in a week, I don't know.
	But that is the issue.
	So if I ask you to repeat something...
	It's not that I didn't hear you.
	It's that it was not hearable.
	So forgive me.
	Okay, so this is the first time in so long that you differ with me, and it is about what?
	Yes, the first time in 10 years.
	Oh, wow.
	It's about, I think, that the weight of the responsibility that we are putting on to Mr. Chauvin's shoulder today is not the proper weight.
	I think we should put a little bit more weight on the shoulder.
	For the actions that he did.
	And the reason why I'm saying that...
	Wait, I'm sorry.
	Wait, wait.
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't follow it fully.
	We should put more emphasis on the weight on the shoulder?
	Is that what you said?
	Yes, sir.
	We should put more weight.
	Oh, so you feel I have been wrong in blaming Chauvin at all?
	No.
	No, sir.
	Not at all.
	I feel that you are 50% there today.
	With everything that you're saying, I think that we should put a little bit more responsibility of what happened that day with Mr. Floyd on Mr. Chauvin's shoulder.
	And I think that he probably should have been found guilty in two of the accounts.
	Yes, that's what I said.
	I didn't say he shouldn't.
	Okay, forgive me, but we're running out of time.
	Still a final segment.
	Forgive me for not having a male, a female hour today.
	It bothers me even more than many of you, to be perfectly honest.
	Why the country has been preoccupied with this, that's the big question.
	Tragedies happen.

	Police killed more unarmed black men in 2019 than conservative activists claimed.
	The conservative activist is Charlie Kirk, who has created the great TPUSA, Turning Point USA. Okay.
	So I'm going to read to you.
	That's the headline, right?
	So the fact check is, the guy's all wrong in his data.
	We're going to set the record straight here at USA Today.
	Ready?
	Here we go.
	The number of unarmed black men fatally shot by police is likely higher than the Washington Post's count, which, by the way, is where we got our data, the Washington Post.
	Okay.
	Due to a lack of comprehensive police records, which Kirk does not acknowledge.
	Here we go.
	Here's the...
	This is almost funny if it weren't about death.
	Despite these issues, the Post's database shows police fatally shot 13 unarmed black men in 2019. Not eight.
	I want that to...
	Settle in on you.
	This is the great fact-check exposure of Charlie Kirk's lie.
	Eight unarmed black men killed by police in 2019. No!
	Not even close!
	13!
	This is the media.
	So important.
	Because of the media and the left, blacks think that there is massive murder of blacks going on.
	Hundreds, thousands, genocide!
	Genocide!
	You hear that word?
	There's a genocide of blacks in America.
	It's an amazing thing for a group that's increasing in population.
	Let me give you one.
	There was a New York Post piece that I had up here about, what is it, LeBron James?
	Didn't LeBron James say, you know, any time you go out of the house as a black man, you're just taking your life into your hands?
	Or some comment like that.
	Ami Horowitz went into, he might still be in Minnesota.
	We spoke to him two days ago on the show.
	He makes these very powerful videos where he interviews people in, shall we say, areas of drama.
	So in Minnesota, he stops some folks on the street, mostly black.
	And let me play a little of it for you.
	Yes, LeBron literally hears his words.
	I thank you, Triple G. We are literally hunted.
	Did you know that?
	Blacks are literally hunted.
	So it's an interesting question.
	Does LeBron James believe that?
	My answer to that, it's been a very complex question for me.
	The people believe their lies.
	And the answer is, it's a mixed bag.
	Sometimes they know they're lying.
	If you say something enough, I wonder if O.J. Simpson believes he murdered his ex-wife and Goldman.
	I forgot Mr. Goldman's.
	Ron Goldman.
	I met Ron Goldman's parents at the time.
	You can talk yourself into almost anything. - Thank you.
	And the left has helped a lot of black Americans talk themselves into the belief that they're hunted and they're hated and systemic racism.
	The damage done to the country is irreparable for at least a generation.
	I have a report which I will read to you about Minneapolis high school students going, and I watched it, it is so painful.
	The corruption of young people's minds to hate this country is one of the inexcusable evils of the left.
	So here is Ami Horowitz interviewing black folks in Minneapolis.
	I'm back in Minneapolis, and the tensions are high.
	The city is about to explode.
	I'm going to find out what the hell is going on.
	Come on, y'all.
	But one thing I need y'all to do when you go home at night...
	If Chalvin is not doing a murder, do you think the city is going to burn down?
	Yeah.
	Some of the people who are looting, they're just destroying stuff.
	They're not really taking anything.
	They're just angry.
	Which you think is fair?
	Yeah.
	They don't know how else to vent their feelings, so it becomes rage, and they start tearing up stuff.
	Would you condemn people who say, we want to burn the city down?
	Absolutely not.
	That might not be something that I end up doing.
	But I understand that rage as a black person.
	Do you not do that?
	No.
	Do you support why they would do that?
	Yeah.
	You can burn the whole city down.
	What does it matter?
	So I say burn the city down, you know, so they can see that we're here, continue the movement.
	Do you think the city's going to burn down?
	Yes, absolutely.
	No question about it?
	No.
	And that'll be the least of our problems.
	By burning all this city down, will it teach them a lesson?
	I think, honestly, I'm all for burning it down.
	Should we eliminate the judicial system completely?
	Should we eliminate it completely?
	I'm going to go ahead and give you the flat right answer of yes.
	The judicial system, should it be eradicated?
	Yes.
	Since we know what Chauvin did to George Floyd, should we have dispensed the trial?
	We're not going to have a trial.
	Let's just convict him right now.
	There shouldn't even be a trial.
	He should be convicted just as is.
	If he got off, would you support street justice on him?
	Yes.
	Y'all should have fed him to the wolves a long time ago.
	How many unarmed black people were killed by cops last year?
	Your idea?
	A hundred plus?
	In just Minnesota?
	No, around the country.
	Oh, thousands.
	Unarmed black people.
	Thousands.
	Seems like you're trying to erase, like, our...
	Would you consider this a genocide?
	It's the eradication of an entire people.
	That's a good question and now that I've been confronted with it, I'm gonna go ahead and say yes.
	I mean genocide means like the targeting of one race for its destruction.
	Do you think that's what they're doing?
	Genocide of anybody that's not white.
	Would you call what's happening a genocide?
	Yeah, I think that's one word for it.
	Genocide?
	Yes.
	Most definitely.
	A genocide?
	Yeah.
	Do we need another civil war in this country in order for us to have true justice?
	If that's what it takes, then we have to do it.
	Do we need another civil war now?
	If that's what it takes, then I believe so.
	If that's what it's going to take to revamp everything, for everything to be equal, at least equal for us to have justice, I believe so.
	Will it happen?
	Probably.
	What percent of this country are white supremacists?
	Say most of the country.
	I can't give you a number, but like...
	You say majority of the country?
	Yeah.
	Should we just gather up the white supremacists?
	And do street justice?
	That would be ideal.
	Again, I'm not going to say anything that would directly incriminate me, but I would say that would be a good idea.
	I don't want to say we need to go start killing all white folks, but it's like, maybe they need to feel the pain and the hurt.
	Feel the same pain that we're feeling.
	Feel the hurt that you're putting out.
	Get that back and see how it feels.
	So maybe they do need to feel the pain that we've been feeling for years.
	Peace and love.
	Thank you.
	He's in love.
	He's in love.
	Yeah, thank you.
	He's in love.
	Thank you.
	So, thousands.
	That was key there.
	Genocide against blacks.
	This is blacks in Minnesota a couple of days ago.
	Ami Horowitz video.
	It's up at DennisPrager.com.
	Thousands are killed by the police.
	So the higher number is 13. 13. And in virtually every case, it was...
	It was legitimate.
	So if people believe thousands of blacks are being killed, unarmed blacks, being killed by the police every year, then you understand why I have said all of my life, lies are the root of evil.
	And that number has not been used by the media, but that's what people are led to believe by the preoccupation, including...
	With George Floyd.

	And how hard was it for three vaccines to be created in less than a calendar year Could you give us some of the inside story?
	How hard was it to get the U.S. government with the corporations to create that historic success?
	Well, it was very hard.
	We had an FDA that takes a long time to approve things, as you know.
	You had Fauci saying it's going to take three years, maybe much longer.
	Most people thought you couldn't do it in five years.
	Most people thought you'd never even get a vaccine.
	I felt confident that we did something else.
	We spent billions of dollars on manufacturing the vaccine before we even knew if it was going to work.
	It was a calculated risk.
	And if we didn't do that, you wouldn't have had it for nine months after the date that they announced, which, as you know, because of what I did with drug prices, with the Favorite Nations laws, that's going to be the biggest thing ever, assuming Biden keeps it for drug prices.
	The drug companies aren't exactly in love with me, and they announced it two days after.
	I think everyone knew we were right there, but they announced it.
	Two days after.
	Now, supposing they announced it before, though, Sebastian, the press would have played it down.
	So if they announced it before, they would have acted like no big deal.
	When they announced it after, they made a big deal out of it.
	But between the FDA, who we pushed at a level that they've never been pushed before.
	So we got the vaccine done in less than nine months, and it would have taken three to five years.

	Hundreds join Minneapolis high school walkouts.
	See, what has happened is the lies of the left have infiltrated kids.
	This is very distressing.
	Like you heard on the video.
	Oh, they're killing thousands of the police.
	Thousands of unarmed blacks.
	Yeah.
	Genocide.
	Genocide.
	An attempt.
	I mean, these people saying on video.
	There's an attempt to wipe out the blacks in America.
	National Guard go home.
	Hundreds of teenagers chanted in a heavily fortified Minneapolis on Monday as part of statewide high school walkouts over the police killings of Dante Wright and George Floyd.
	I read to you about Dante Wright.
	Why was it wrong?
	And the guy has this rap sheet and he didn't want the police to arrest him.
	In neighboring St. Paul, more than 100 students took their grievances over police brutality to the Capitol, where lawmakers inside the fenced-in statehouse could be seen peeking out through the curtains to look at protesters outside.
	The student protests were organized on Instagram by Minnesota teen activists, a local group founded after the George Floyd protests last summer.
	Students from at least 110 schools.
	You hear that?
	You could cry.
	Students from 110 schools should be singing the National Anthem and taking the Pledge of Allegiance to the least racist multiracial country in the history of the world.
	That's what they should be doing.
	Have planned protests to honor Dante Wright.
	Honor Dante Wright.
	I read to you, they don't know a damn thing about Daunte Wright, except that the press told them he's black and the officers were white.
	That's all that mattered.
	At 1.47 p.m., the time Daunte Wright was shot eight days before, hundreds of Minneapolis teenagers sat together on the ground to mark three minutes of silence.
	Ray Sean, 16, a student at the Fair High School for the Arts.
	Said he had spent those three minutes thinking about, quote, the change we're going to make.
	Isn't that great?
	That's what America needs, change.
	As a young black man, he said he had come to the protest even though his mother, worried about the risk, had tried to convince him not to.
	It's interesting that his mother warned him about that.
	It's an extremely fair...
	I think the only or one of the only compassion questions to ask, is there a dad in his life?
	He wanted, quote, to fight for what I believe in, he said.
	What does he believe in?
	Ending genocide against blacks?
	What does he believe in?
	It's a shame that the children have to come out and fight for our lives.
	Fight for our lives.
	Wow.
	Meanwhile, the president is telling kids their age to get vaccinated so that they don't die of COVID. Chance of a 16-year-old dying because he's black or dying because of COVID are close to zero in both cases.
	But it does fill your life with meaning.
	I gotta say that.
	What is it?
	Nothing like gallows to focus the mind?
	Make-believe world that we live in.
	It's a shame that the children have to come out and fight for our lives.
	A student from North Community High School told a crowd of at least 600 young people.
	After George Floyd's killing, quote, America will never be the same again, said Kimberly Bernard, a New York organizer with the Black Women's March.
	See, that's what they want.
	They want America to never be the same again.
	Blacks are the tool to use to do this.
	There's no going back to the way it used to be.
	Really?
	Why was it so bad in 2015?
	What it used to be.
	I don't mean used to be 50 years ago, 150 years ago.
	used to be 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago.

	By the way, Steve Cortez did one of the most important videos, and I think all 450 of our videos are most important.
	However, this is one of the most important of the most important.
	The one about the Charlottesville lie.
	He is the one who did it.
	The president then tweeted it out.
	It has how many millions of views, do you know?
	I think we're up to about 8 million now.
	About 8 million views.
	Which is spectacular, obviously.
	It is, right.
	Because a lot of times it's with somebody else, so it's maybe like 10, 15 million views.
	Truth is, it should have 330 million views.
	But nevertheless, it is very important, and it is about the Charlottesville lie.
	Anyway, I want to verify this.
	You put up a tweet just citing a Stanford University study on masks.
	Do I have the details correct?
	Yes.
	Now, let me be very precise here, though.
	And I did call it a Stanford study.
	To be more precise, it was a...
	...by a PhD who works for Stanford Medical Center.
	It's not that Stanford commissioned the study, but yes, a Stanford doctor, PhD, not medical doctor, PhD, did the medical study on his own, but got significant input from a whole lot of physicians and other PhDs.
	He divided between Stanford Medical Center and the hospital in Tel Aviv.
	I believe he's Israeli by nationality.
	And so a Stanford...
	The doctor posted this study, and this is also a key ingredient to this story.
	He posted it, Dennis, on the United States government website, the NIH, the National Institute of Health, posted this study, because it was a very important study, about the efficacy of masks.
	And what this study determined, that masks are totally ineffective at preventing the transmission of both SARS, looking backward a bit, and then in the current sense, COVID-19, because the molecular structure of both of those viruses is so tiny, it's so absolutely infinitesimally almost small, that it cannot be prevented by even surgical masks.
	That's what really raised my radar when I read this.
	Wow!
	I certainly knew almost just instinctively that these loose-fitting cloth masks were doing nothing.
	But this study concludes that even properly worn medical masks are ineffective.
	That preventing transmission, but there's just simply no way to prevent that the masking, in fact, while it is not effective at preventing the virus, has many other negative aspects to it, both medical and psychological, which are also explored in this paper.
	So this paper was done by a Stanford PhD, somebody who works for Stanford Medical Center, posted at the National Institute of Health website.
	Literally, the link that I put in is.gov.
	It's a study that we effectively pay for as taxpayers, and yet Twitter suspended me simply for posting it and for saying on...
	...are dirty, dehumanizing, and ineffective.
	That was all of my commentary, and then I just linked to it and quoted from it.
	And I stand by my comments, by the way.
	...are dirty, dehumanizing, and ineffective.
	And by the way, you know, I think...
	All right, hold on, Steve.
	I've got to take a break.

	We had an FDA that takes a long time to approve things, as you know.
	You had Fauci saying it's going to take three years, maybe much longer.
	Most people thought you couldn't do it in five years.
	Most people thought you'd never even get a vaccine.
	I felt confident that we did something else.
	We spent billions of dollars on manufacturing the vaccine before we even knew if it was going to work.
	It was a calculated risk.
	And if we didn't do that, you wouldn't have had it for nine months after the date that they announced, which as you know, because of...
	My friends, I'm Dennis Prager. I'm Dennis Prager.
	I just found out, apropos of my discussion with Steve Cortez, I just found out.
	I've got to get the information right up here.
	Yeah.
	So, there is a peaceful protest right after my show.
	So, it's obviously for people in the L.A. area.
	Stop forcing children to wear masks.
	For that matter, I'll leave other issues aside.
	Let's isolate the mask issue.
	To me, it's a form of child abuse, which is exactly what their flyer says.
	Stop the child abuse.
	Stop forcing children to wear masks.
	Peaceful protest.
	Wednesday the 21st, 1.10pm.
	No!
	Two...
	2.10.
	Oh, good.
	So you've got two hours Western time.
	Hawthorne Elementary School.
	Rexford Drive, Beverly Thrills, California.
	No bullhorns.
	Good.
	See?
	They just won't...
	God, can you imagine if a lot of you showed up?
	Steve Cortez has put up...
	This is mind-boggling.
	He put up a study by a Stanford PhD.
	With other PhDs, but even forgetting that, let's say the guy didn't graduate high school.
	The study was published by the NIH, the National Institutes of Health of the United States government, and Twitter took it down.
	Is that correct?
	Yes.
	Twitter took it down and put me in Twitter jail.
	I had decided to have a timeout, as if I were a child, for daring to contradict the narrative that masks are some sort of savior.
	And, you know, Dennis, this is a very rigorous medical study if you read it.
	But the layman can understand it.
	I'm not a doctor.
	The layman can understand the study.
	And I would encourage the readers to read it.
	I think it's worth reading because he, number one, establishes that masks are ineffective.
	In a medical rigorous study, that they are ineffective.
	Even medical masks.
	Even N95s.
	Even properly worn.
	That this virus is simply molecularly too small.
	Like masks.
	And by the way, we know just intuitively that that makes sense, because when we look at places in the country where masking is basically universal, places like California, like my hometown of Chicago, like New York City, we still know that the virus has spread like crazy, and in some cases, actually has spread quite a bit more in the places that are the most significantly restrictive and locked, compared to places where there is very little masking.
	So I think, you know, we just intuitively, from a common sense perspective, realize that the masks have not worked.
	But this is a scientific study, again, posted on the NIH website.
	That is the link I provided.
	I quoted from the actual study about the inefficacy of masks.
	I added just one line of my own commentary, dehumanizing and ineffective.
	And for that, Twitter took it down, took my account down.
	I'm now restored and back on.
	But I'll tell you what, I'm not going to stop talking about it.
	So I'm sure it's not long before I was banned entirely from Twitter.
	Again, the fact that it is a government-published study doesn't even matter.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	And they took you down, not just that tweet.
	Correct.
	Correct.
	I could not access Twitter at all.
	Not only could I not post, I didn't realize that's how that worked.
	I hadn't been put...
	Oh, you couldn't even...
	Oh, my God, I couldn't access other...
	I couldn't get to Twitter.
	And you know what I... Which, you know, shame on me, and I'm fixing this now in my own life, is...
	I realize how much I depend on Twitter just for my political news and my knowledge, you know, and to do broadcasting, right?
	And it really was a hamstring to not have that.
	Yes, I understand.
	And I've got to fix that because I don't want to be dependent on it and because, in all likelihood, I anticipate I will get banned permanently.
	It's sort of a system, so now I've got a big strike.
	And I'm not going to stop talking about it.
	I'm not going to be intimidated.
	To your point, too, about children, as a father, this drove me crazy.
	A very abbreviated basketball season, because Governor Pritzker in Illinois, one of the worst governors in America, forbade sports for almost all of the school year.
	Now, the very...
	We're really having dropouts here.
	Finally, we're on basketball.
	Okay, so we were able to play basketball, thank goodness.
	And my son loves hoops, and I love watching, and coached him for years.
	But you know what?
	These poor children, they had to wear masks in basketball, on the court, Dennis.
	I mean, you know how high-intensity cardiovascular...
	We can only pray.
	That at some point in the future, this generation will be regarded as bizarre and irrational as those who believed in witches.
	And I agree with you.
	I think it is abusive.
	Not only is it just...
	It's not a mistake.
	No, it's abusive.
	What, two-year-olds on airplanes?
	Two-year-olds?
	These people are sick.
	Because statistically, again, let's rely on the data, right?
	These people claim to be the party of science, the people who are locking us down and who are forcing children to...
	We respect science.
	The science tells us that for children, the regular seasonal flu is far more dangerous than is COVID-19.
	And we have never required that children play basketball with masks on to prevent the flu.
	Because it would be a ridiculous risk-reward calculation, right?
	It would be absurd.
	And all of life, to some extent, is a risk-reward calculation, right?
	That we all make every single day.
	Not to some extent.
	It's exactly what it is.
	What is the price is the only intelligent question.
	Alright, listen, you let me know when you start your TV thing and I will happily promote it.
	Please, and please come on as well.
	I will happily come on.
	You've got a face for television, Dennis.
	Oh, I know.
	Wasted on radio.
	Completely wasted.
	Be well, my friend.
	He's terrific.
	Do you understand, folks?
	He put up a study.
	That Twitter doesn't agree with but from the government.
	why don't they take down the government's tweets?
	Follow the science is another lie of the left.
	They follow, I wrote this recently, they follow the scientists the media tells them to believe in or to follow.
	They do not follow science.
	They follow the scientists that the media tell them to agree with.
	More and more articles about how global warming is so manageable and there's so little we can do about it with all of this now Green New Deal.
	All of it, it's a facade.
	The left uses the environment to change the economy.
	They use blacks to change the society.
	This is all a facade.
	Do they ultimately believe it?
	They often do.
	Did the communists think they were helping workers?
	They might have, but they didn't.
	The Dennis Prager Show.
	Live.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berger.
	And how hard was it for three vaccines to be created in less than a calendar year?
	Could you give us some of the inside story?
	How hard was it to get the U.S. government with the corporations to create that historic success?
	Well, it was very hard.
	We had an FDA that takes a long time to approve things, as you know.
	You had Fauci saying it's going to take three years, maybe much longer.
	Most people thought you couldn't do it in five years.
	Most people thought you'd never even get a vaccine.
	I felt confident.
	And we did something else.
	We spent billions of dollars on manufacturing the vaccine before we even knew if it was going to work.
	It was a calculated risk.
	And if we didn't do that, you wouldn't have had it for nine months after the date that they announced.
	Which, as you know, because of what I did with drug prices, with the favorite nation's laws, that's going to be the biggest thing ever, assuming Biden keeps it for drug prices.
	The drug companies aren't exactly in love with me, and they announced it two days after.
	I think everyone knew we were right there, but they announced it two days after.
	Now, supposing they announced it before, though, Sebastian, the press would have played it down.
	So if they've announced it before...
	They would have acted like no big deal when they announced it after they made a big deal out of it.
	But between the FDA, who we pushed at a level that they've never been pushed before.
	So we got the vaccine done in less than nine months, and it would have taken three to five years.
	I don't think they ever would have had it.

	This is Carol Platt-Lebow for townhall.com.
	President Biden has formally established a commission to consider adding seats to the Supreme Court.
	Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, both appointed by a Democratic president, have opposed it.
	But the left is angry.
	They don't like the Supreme Court's rulings, so they want to change its composition.
	It's called court packing, from when, in 1937, Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt tried and failed to do it.
	President Biden must have forgotten he once called the idea of expanding the Supreme Court a terrible, terrible mistake and boneheaded.
	And make no mistake, it is a terrible idea.
	Any politically driven effort to change the court's structure will only reinforce the perception that our judicial branch is guided by politics rather than by legal principle.
	Over time, a packed court would surely erode confidence in the rule of law, which is indispensable to governing a free people.

	Hard to believe, isn't it?
	It's the end of the show today.
	Final segment.
	All right, let's see here.
	Let me think this call is important.
	Let me tell you, you know, this is so, I got a lot of, I love when people differ.
	Let's see here.
	Look at this.
	They should meet each other.
	Andrew on Long Island in New York.
	I manufacture masks.
	You are correct.
	These materials do not protect against viruses.
	Charles, Queens, New York.
	I disagree with you.
	Masks give protection.
	Don't go away, anybody.
	But let me take Charles.
	Charles, be quick.
	Go ahead.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	President Trump and at least 10 more people came down with the COVID. Two days after that Rose Garden meeting, them were protected by any masks.
	Okay, I understand.
	So that's one reason that you believe that.
	I'm giving you the most charitable way of describing your view.
	Okay, so let me tell you an opposite anecdote.
	I have been hugging people, shaking hands, and hugging strangers in the hundreds.
	Since last March when I did a rally in front of LA City Hall to open up the city of Los Angeles so that people could make a living.
	And I never got COVID. Or I was protected by my ivermectin, my vitamin D, and my hydroxychloroquine and my zinc.
	I don't know what, but I never got it.
	I'm unmasked when I hugged all these people at rally after rally after rally.
	I have hugged people who had COVID. I just got a call from somebody whom I hugged this past weekend, and she told me that she has COVID. I can't get it if I try, and I don't wear masks, except when I have to inside of a building.
	Quickly, Mark in Stockton, you've got just 30 seconds.
	Go ahead.
	Too bad.
	All right, well.
	No chance.
	Pilot candidates must first meet FAA standards.
	Don't worry.
	I hope he's right.
	That's great.
	So then the question is, why aren't there more black pilots now if they've only chosen people based on excellence?
	I don't know the answer to that.
	That was one of the questions that I asked.
	By the way, surgeons should wear surgical masks.
	But that's not a matter of a virus.
	It's a matter of infection.
	And about the sweat dripping into your open body.
	Okay, all.
	I asked you, by the way, to read my column this week on why whites are hated.
