	We'll be right back.

	We'll be right back.

	We'll be right back.
	Very, very undeserved praise there from the great Dennis Prager, but I will accept it humbly, and I thank you so very much for joining us.
	Yes, we are indeed in Cleveland, Ohio, and we are indeed rocking.
	Thank you for that intro, Sean.
	We welcome your participation.
	In the program today, at 8 Prager 776-877-243-7776, there are a lot of questions that I have for you today that I very much am interested in your answers over.
	There are issues involving masking, issues involving vaccines, issues involving compliance, issues involving constitutionality of landlords being denied pay for the housing they provide for people.
	Issues involving sending sick people who cross our border illegally all over this country and then complaining that people aren't being vaccinated fast enough?
	Oh my goodness, I've got a lot of things that I'm going to ask your opinions on today.
	But I'm going to start the Dennis Prager show today with something that I've been doing a little bit on my local program in Cleveland, Ohio.
	You know the familiar sounds of the Olympic theme.
	Music And I am here to tell you today that I have not watched a single second of Olympic coverage.
	Not one twist, not one flip, not one made basket, not one made goal.
	Not one incredibly weak hammer throw.
	I have exactly zero interest in the 2021 Wokelympics, and I want to be very, very clear about that.
	Zero.
	I have not watched a bit of live coverage.
	However, having said that, as my local audience in Cleveland knows, one of my jobs is to talk about the news of the day.
	And yes, the Olympics, particularly the Wokelympics, are finding their way into the headlines.
	And I would like to take just a couple of moments here to commemorate some very, very important happenings.
	The United States Women's Olympic Soccer Team.
	I don't know if Dennis talks about this on any kind of a regular basis at all, if ever, but the U.S. Women's National Team is led by a purple-haired or pink-haired, I don't know, depending on the day, woman named Megan Rapinoe, who just quite simply hates this...
	She and most of, if not all, of her teammates on the U.S. women's national team routinely kneel during the playing of the national anthem or the presentation of our great colors, the Stars and the Stripes.
	She has publicly advocated for support of this position by supporting the originator of it from five years ago, quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
	An avowed communist supporter, a Castro fan, who believes that the United States is a systemically racist country.
	So does Megan Rapinoe.
	So do her teammates on the U.S. women's national team.
	Now, they played a game in the qualifiers for these Olympics.
	And again, not having watched a single kick, all I can do is look at scoreboards.
	They lost badly, 3-0 to Switzerland or Sweden or somebody.
	I don't care, whoever they are.
	I cheered for them, because they were beating up on people who hate my country, even though they were wearing the colors that represent my country.
	You see, I believe in the mathematical equation of a negative times a negative is a positive.
	If a negative anti-American, like Megan Rapinoe, is speaking ill of my country, I am going to be negative toward her and root for her opponent.
	And that makes me a proponent of my country.
	Anti-Americans representing America.
	So Megan Rapinoe and the soccer team, it was pretty much guaranteed, because they're the best team on the planet, or had been for the last 10 years or so, that they were going to win a gold medal, and then during the gold medal presentation at the Tokyo Olympics, would probably have taken a knee or done some sort of a protest to tell the world that America is oppressive toward minorities, or toward gay people, or toward whatever their agenda is.
	The follow-up to that loss to Switzerland or Sweden was a game in the quarterfinal round.
	I believe it was the quarterfinal round.
	They just played two days ago against Canada, our neighbors up in the Great White North.
	And for the first time in, I don't know, 20 years, Canada beat the U.S. Women's National Team, knocking them out of contention for any gold medal.
	They now play at some point against somebody, I think, for the bronze.
	The point here is that we will not have to watch these anti-American women embarrassing the United States on the world stage by offering a protest that would essentially tell the world we hate our country.
	It's systemically oppressive toward people of color.
	That's part one of this three-part series.
	Here's part two.
	Headline from August 1st, so this would have been Sunday.
	Team USA's Gwen Berry says she will stage protest if she meddles at Olympics.
	Gwen Berry, you may recall, is the hammer thrower who finished third in the U.S. qualifiers, the trials to make the Olympic team.
	And on the bronze medal podium, as she was accepting her bronze medal for the qualifiers, they started playing the national anthem.
	She was livid.
	She was furious.
	She called it a setup.
	She turned her back on the flag, put her black t-shirt over her head that read, activist athlete, and then proceeded in post-ceremony interviews to denigrate the United States as being systemically oppressive.
	She said she was going to take that protest to the medal stand at the actual Olympics in front of the world.
	Dateline, Tokyo, yesterday, August 3rd, new headline.
	Gwen Berry fails to medal at the Olympics in Tokyo.
	And all I can say to that is...
	Can you dig it?
	Karma.
	Karma, my friends.
	Berry plans Olympic protest if she medals.
	Follow up.
	Berry fails to medal.
	And by the way, I would like everyone to know as I celebrate her defeat.
	That I do celebrate Team USA. She is not a part of Team USA. She is part of Team USA sucks.
	That's what she believes, that the United States stinks.
	I'd like to point out that her failure to medal wasn't just a failure, but it was a spectacular one.
	She didn't not only finish in the top three, there were 12 competitors in the hammer-throwing event.
	She didn't finish just outside of the top three at number four either.
	She didn't finish number 5. She didn't even finish in the top half of the 12 at number 6. And bad news is she didn't finish at number 7 or number 8 either.
	Number 9?
	Nope.
	Sorry.
	Number 10?
	No.
	Gwen Berry, the America hater, wearing red, white, and blue against her will, apparently, finished 11th out of 12 when representing herself and, quote, oppressed Americans before the rest of the world.
	So that karma...
	Can only be exceeded by this karma.
	And this is part three of my three-part series.
	This is the story of Tamara Mensah Stock, a 28-year-old African-American female wrestler from Katy, Texas.
	That's in Harris County, just outside of Houston.
	Tamara Mensah Stock became the second woman ever to win a gold medal in wrestling at the Olympics.
	Moreover, the first African-American woman to ever win a female Olympic wrestling gold medal.
	Now, I want you to consider Megan Rapinoe that I just told you about before.
	I want you to consider Gwen Berry, who I told you about before.
	I want you to remember the things that they said.
	About how much they're disgusted by this country.
	How they go on an international stage and plan to protest the greatest beacon of liberty and force for good in the history of humankind.
	And how they plan to denigrate it to the rest of the world.
	I want you to remember them when you listen to Tamara Mensah stop.
	Last question for you.
	That American flag around your shoulders looks pretty good.
	How does that feel to represent your country like this?
	Feels amazing.
	I love representing the U.S. I freaking love living there.
	I love it, and I'm so happy I get to represent U.S.A. Love it.
	Well said.
	Congratulations.
	Enjoy that gold, and we'll see you out there on the podium, okay?
	Thank you.
	I'll try not to cry, but no problem.
	I am telling you, this woman's smile could light up all of Tokyo.
	I wish to God I could give you...
	Well, I've got to take a time out of here.
	I apologize.
	I wish to God I could give you the video.
	This is only radio, though, so you could see her enthusiasm and excitement.
	We'll talk more right after this.
	We'll talk more.
	In an unregulated industry, you need honest, real experts to give you solid advice to protect your wealth and top picks on the best coins in bullion based on real-time data and historical trends.
	For example, as environmental policy becomes a hot topic...
	One precious metal that's been significantly undervalued for years is potentially set to surge.
	Nick Grovich, owner of Amfed Coin and Bullion, has long recommended this precious metal.
	Up to 600,000 ounces of this rare metal will be needed by 2030 to produce green hydrogen.
	Nick is doubling down on this pick, and you should too.
	Call Nick at AmFedCoin and Bullion to find out more.
	I've been friends with Nick for years, and he's my go-to guy when it comes to coins and bullion.
	I trust him.
	He's a good and very knowledgeable man.
	Call Nick at 800-221-7694.
	800-221-7694.

	Not one mistake.
	Trending now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	Well, according to the CDC's own documents, right here, Barnes Stable, or is it Barnes Stable?
	Whatever.
	County Massachusetts outbreak.
	In all bold, no difference in mean CT values in unvaccinated and vaccinated.
	In fact, the vaccinated cases were 0.4% higher.
	That's the CDC's own data.
	That vaccinated Americans in Massachusetts, and this is, I'm just reading from the document, in Barnstable County, that the median among vaccinated was N equals 80. I'm not sure what that value represents.
	But 21.9, unvaccinated, N equals 65, 21.5.
	I'm guessing that's how many people they were testing.
	I need to go look at what the values represent.
	It says here that risk of infection, reinfection with the Delta variant may be higher, compelled to the Alpha variant, but only if prior infection is 180 days earlier.
	It says this, that the Delta variant may cause more severe disease than the Alpha or the ancestral strains.
	So they're already going to now mandate indoor mask mandates.
	And in fact, certain sources that cover the White House very well, including Jack Pasebic, who has been wrong about almost nothing with his sources, say that lockdowns are coming to blue states in the next couple weeks.
	Keep up with what's trending.

	I'm Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com for Town Hall.
	Democrats have doubled down on radical indoctrination in schools with their embrace of critical race theory.
	School boards and teachers unions have rushed to implement CRT into their curricula, in some cases while avoiding parental notification.
	Even as these education leaders refused to reopen schools to children, they now plan to use their near monopoly on education to push this highly controversial ideology.
	It's already begun to backfire.
	Parents have begun demanding answers from school boards and campaigned to unseat their members.
	Political reports that even Democrats All
	right, friends, 21 minutes after the hour, Bob France sitting in for Dennis Prager live in the ReliefFactor.com studios here in Cleveland, Ohio.
	Home base for me is WHKAM 1420. The answer, remember back in the 70s, I think maybe early 80s, people used to refer to Tom Bosley, a.k.a.
	Howard Cunningham, as America's dad.
	And then later on, after the Cosby Show became such a huge hit, and before Bill Cosby's terrible fall from grace.
	Bill Cosby was considered America's dad.
	And I think a lot of people now, maybe erroneously, but see Tom Hanks, I think he even called himself America's dad at one point when he came down with COVID. And it's just kind of a thing.
	People say, see, people whose appeal is so crossover to all cultures and all generations and so forth, they do this look.
	Yeah, I see that.
	I feel like...
	Honestly and truly, I feel like this girl, this new Olympic hero, the new face of the Olympics, Tamara Mensah Stock is America's daughter.
	I just love her.
	I love her so much.
	She's a black 28-year-old woman.
	She's got her own family, but first of all, she looks like she's 18, not 28. And her pride in her country and her enthusiasm to wear the red, white, and blue, quite literally after her win.
	Quite literally, she draped that flag around her and huddled up inside of it like it was a warm blanket in the middle of a cold winter's night.
	She snuggled up in it.
	Again, I wish I could give you the video.
	You need to imagine the smile that could light up Tokyo.
	You need to see her bouncing up and down at the podium as she answers questions.
	She literally is jumping up and down.
	She's giving the heart sign when she talks about the USA. You know, the hand heart sign.
	She's just so enthusiastic, and she is such a stark contrast to the America hatred that was taken to Tokyo by too many other American athletes.
	We had a BMX biker, who is a member of the American team, who said that if he or she, because it's a trans person who thinks he's something else or another, I don't know which direction, it doesn't matter, to me anyway, because this person said they were going to go to the podium and burn the American flag if they won the medal.
	So you've got the soccer women wanting to kneel to the anthem, which they won't get a chance to now because they lost.
	You've got Gwen Berry, who promised a protest at the podium.
	If she medaled, well, she didn't get to the medal stand either.
	But this girl did.
	Olympic wrestler and now gold medalist Tamara Mensah-Stock got to the podium.
	Last question for you.
	That American flag around your shoulders looks pretty good.
	How does that feel to represent your country like this?
	It feels amazing.
	I love representing the U.S. I freaking love living there.
	I love it, and I'm so happy I get to represent U.S.A. Love it.
	Well said.
	Congratulations.
	Enjoy that call, and we'll see you out there on the podium, okay?
	Thank you.
	I'll try not to cry, but no promises.
	I'll try not to cry, but no promises.
	That's America's daughter right now.
	That's America's daughter.
	And clearly nobody has informed her that as a black girl she has no place in America.
	She's oppressed.
	Clearly nobody has informed her that white supremacists and white privilege have denied her the opportunity to achieve her dream.
	Nobody told her.
	So she went ahead and achieved her dream.
	It's amazing when somebody doesn't tell you that you're supposed to be held back, what kinds of things you can accomplish moving forward.
	It's an amazing thing.
	She's America's daughter, and I absolutely love that.
	In the face of all of the constant negativity that we have seen, including by the U.S. men's basketball team, by the way, not necessarily during these Olympics, but it's comprised of NBA players, many of whom spent this entire past season, which I also did not watch.
	Hiding in the tunnel during the playing of the National Anthem, because they weren't allowed to kneel or else they'd get fined.
	They weren't allowed to sit or else they'd get fined.
	So they just didn't come out for the National Anthem, or they would come out for the player introductions, and then they would go back in the tunnel when the anthem is played.
	All this anti-American hatred being brought to the world stage was really, really, you know, something to see, or technically to not see, according to the ratings, because nobody's watching.
	But I'll tell you what, I'll watch her any time I see her face on TV, and here's what I hope.
	I hope that this young, black, American Olympic gold medalist makes millions and millions of dollars in endorsements.
	And I don't care what she's selling.
	I'll buy it.
	Compare and contrast that to Megan Rapinoe, who is the face of Subway subs?
	Not a chance.
	Take your little overloaded lettuce-y buns with no meat on them and take them off someplace.
	I wouldn't want them anyway, but I certainly don't want them if you've got Megan Rapinoe hawking them.
	Seriously!
	These things pile high with 15 cents worth of lettuce and even less worth of meat.
	It's a joke anyway.
	Sorry, but Subway, you got in bed with the wrong American athlete.
	If you're smart, you will dump Megan Rapinoe on her purple-haired head, and you will go to Myra Mensa Stock and say, here's a blank check right in the amount you want to be our new endorser.
	And then I might go back and consider ordering some Subway.
	Pretty much anything she sells, I would buy.
	All right, so that's my Olympic update.
	I wanted to give you the bad and the good, and I want to just shine a spotlight on America's new face of the Olympic team and America's daughter, Tamara Mensah-Stock of Katy, Texas.
	She is outstanding, and we need good news like that because of what we're going to be talking about here in a few minutes after the bottom of the hour.
	We need to talk about the loss of America's freedoms.
	We need to talk about segregation.
	My friends, segregation is back.
	Now, I'm not talking about the CRT version of it.
	Although that's part of it, too.
	And I'm not talking about safe spaces for black voices and brown faces and LGBTQ faces separate from all of those bigots and those males, these racist white males and all of their privilege and supremacy.
	That's not what I'm talking about.
	When I talk about segregation, although those things are real, I'm talking about the great unwashed.
	I'm talking about...
	Leper colonies.
	You think I'm joking?
	You think it's an exaggeration?
	You think it's a melodramatic?
	No, it's not.
	Leper colonies.
	You remember leper colonies where they forced, because of the highly contagious nature of leprosy, which of course was just debilitating and fatal, they would keep lepers.
	To themselves.
	I remember Mother Teresa once, you know, part of her reason for her canonization as a saint was because of her willingness to go in and treat people with those kinds of things that were just cast off from society.
	Leper colonies were created.
	And now we are about to have that happen.
	In fact, we have seen the beginning of it with vaccine passports and the separation of baseball parks from vaccine sections.
	To unvaccinated sections.
	The separation of football players.
	Yellow wristbands for vaccinated.
	Red wristbands, because that's the scarlet letter, for non-vaccinated.
	And now in New York City, you have open access to all indoor facilities in New York City, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio.
	You have unfettered access to restaurants, to bars, to gyms, to concert halls, to sporting arenas, to indoor facilities all over the city, as long as you are willing to show your vaccine passport.
	You must show your papers!
	And you have access.
	If you don't have said papers, you are the great unvaccinated, you are the great unwashed, you are the new lepers, and we are beginning a new state of segregation.
	John Whitehead wrote a tremendous piece on this.
	John Whitehead is the founder and president of the Rutherford Institute.
	We're going to talk to him about the new state of segregation coming up on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Trending now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	So they're already going to now mandate indoor mask mandates.
	And in fact, certain sources that cover the White House very well, including Jack Pasebic, who has been wrong about almost nothing with his sources, say that lockdowns are coming to blue states in the next couple weeks.
	Did you know that five people in Washington, D.C. died from COVID in the last week and 11 people died from homicide?
	On average, we have 1,800 people that die of heart disease every single day in America.
	Why are we allowing these people to now get us into another state of panic?
	Keep up with what's trending.
	Subscribe on YouTube and at rumble.com.
	Trending now on the Mike Gallagher show.
	And then you want it to fit better.
	So one of the ways you could do it, if you would like to, is put a cloth mask over, which actually here and here and here, where you could get leakage in, is much better contained.
	Are you a double masker, Dr. Fauci?
	Look like you are.
	Now, Alicia, I think, probably has a good reason.
	To reject her doctor's explanation that that's the guy that we should all listen to.
	Matt Taibbi, in this report, or his column that I saw at New York Post, said he writes, Politifact, which now basically exists to deflect criticism from the Biden administration, rated false the claim that Biden and Harris...
	Actually had reservations about the safety of the vaccines.
	But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
	Hmm.
	Matt Taibbi says PolitiFact's excuse is that the then candidates, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, were raising questions not about the vaccines themselves, but about then-President Donald Trump's rollout of the vaccines.
	But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
	Uh-huh.
	PolitiFact said it's false that Kamala Harris had reservations about the vaccines.
	Matt Taibbi says, wait a minute, PolitiFact says it's false.
	What the hell does that mean?
	That it's okay to have reservations, not just about the White House, but about the CDC, FDA, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and every other institution involved with the vaccine effort if you don't like or trust the president?
	But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it. I'm not taking it.
	You're not making jokes.
	You are the joke.
	Comedians, you know, in our situation, you know, what we look at is what we're doing.
	We're often accused, we're lately have been accused of punching down.
	We're punching back.
	We're not punching down.
	This is a situation where conservatives are literally on the ropes in the culture battle.
	And they're defending themselves against this top-down attack, this top-down tyranny from progressive ideology that's coming from celebrities, it's coming from corporations, it's coming from politicians.
	We're not punching down.
	We're punching back at that stuff.
	So how big...
	Has the Babylon be like it's grown own.
	All right, 34 minutes after the hour.
	Thanks for being with us.
	Bob France sitting in for Dennis Prager live here in the ReliefFactor.com studios in Cleveland, Ohio.
	For millennia, for millennia.
	A diagnosis of leprosy meant a life sentence of social isolation.
	People afflicted with a condition now known as Hansen's disease, a bacterial infection that ravages the skin and nerves and causes painful deformities, were typically ripped from their families, showered with prejudice, and cruelly exiled into lifelong quarantine.
	In the United States, patients were confined to a handful of remote settlements where over time a crude existence evolved into one with small touchstones of normalcy, but patients were consistently deprived of fundamental civil liberties, to work, to move freely, to see loved ones, to vote, to raise families of their own. to see loved ones, to vote, to raise families of Some who bore children even had their babies forcibly removed.
	That's the history of leper colonies.
	It started in the Middle Ages and really went into the 1940s, 1950s here in the United States.
	Leper colonies.
	That's what they're doing to us right now.
	The beginning stages of segregation, the beginning stages of modern times, leper colonies.
	I read a great piece last night.
	At Rutherford.com, which is the homepage of the Rutherford Institute, by president and founder of the Rutherford Institute, constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead, headlined, A New State of Segregation.
	Vaccine cards are just the beginning.
	John Whitehead has agreed to join us on the program here on the Dennis Prager Show to talk more about this.
	John, thank you for the time.
	How are you today, sir?
	Fine.
	Busy as usual doing what we do.
	And, by the way, the website's runford.org.runford.com.
	Apologies for that.
	Thank you for the clarification.
	Oh, I understand.
	I understand.
	Yeah, but I just want people to make sure they can get the information.
	They should read this comment here.
	We're going to talk about the new kind of segregation because you're absolutely correct, sir.
	We're definitely moving in that direction.
	We've been moving in that direction, by the way, for about 20 years.
	The government's done it slowly and incrementally, but now it's speeding up very quickly.
	Yeah, you know, I mean, it was a great commentary that you wrote, John, which is why I reached out to have you on today to talk about this.
	I want to quote you in your article in the early portions of it.
	By allowing government agents to establish a litmus test for individuals to be able to engage in commerce, movement, or any other right that corresponds to life in a supposedly free society, it lays the groundwork for a show-me-your-paper society in which you're required to identify yourself at any time to any government worker who demands it for any reason.
	This really does remind me of leper colonies.
	They're going to take the unvaccinated and say, you can't mix in and mingle with proper company, those who have taken their government jabs as directed.
	Yeah, you won't be able to go to a grocery store eventually if this continues.
	Go to a restaurant.
	You know, there are those who object to the mask.
	I would say, again, I've been doing this for 40 years now, fighting for civil liberties for people and filing cases and courts.
	I've never seen anything.
	This is the worst.
	I've never seen, and I'm talking to some older friends of mine who are saying, John, this is not the America I grew up in.
	I don't want to live here anymore.
	I'm actually hearing more people say that.
	And, I mean, with the cancel culture we're seeing, and all the things coming at people right now, and the way kids are growing up today, they're going to be afraid.
	And fear is now rampant in society.
	When you have fear rampant in society, it allows the government to do anything.
	And the Nuremberg trial, right after Nazi Germany went down, when a lot of the Nazis were tried overseas, in Nuremberg, Hermann Gehring, who was Hitler's chief general, asked, and it was the question he was asked, how did Nazism triumph?
	What was it about Nazism?
	You know what his response was?
	It wasn't Nazism.
	It was fear.
	Because fear is the way you control people.
	You can get them to do anything.
	That is exactly what we're seeing right now.
	And that's what I want to talk about.
	Because remember what they told us prior to the development of the vaccine, which was incredibly, you know, quickly moved.
	You know, they did it with warp speed and everything else.
	But they said, until we get the vaccine and reach herd immunity, you're going to have to wear these masks.
	And then, once the vaccine was available, to encourage more people to get the vaccine, they said, by the way, if you are vaccinated, take those masks off.
	Unvaccinated, you keep them.
	I'm on.
	Now here we are today, and we're still supposed to be so terrified of this disease, or this virus, that has a 99.5% recovery rate, John W. Whitehead.
	We have, now they're telling us, if you took that vaccine, you put that mask back on anyway.
	It still can kill you.
	How's that anything other than fear porn?
	And here's the thing.
	James Masters, who wrote our Bill of Rights, and by the way, 99% of Americans do not know their Bill of Rights.
	the right to freedom of speech, the right to be free from a reasonable search and seizure.
	Hey, John, hang on with that thought on the Bill of Rights.
	We've got a break coming up here, so rather than cutting you off in the middle of your point on the Bill of Rights, let me ask you to hold that thought there.
	We'll pick it up on the other side of this time out.
	Bob France in for Dennis Prager right back.
	Here at Salem Media Group, we're delighted to welcome you back to your old habits and haunts.
	Nice to see you at our restaurants.
	We've been waiting a long time for you to return.
	Nice to see you at the salon, the post office, the flower shop.
	Nice to see you back in the office.
	Nice to see all those cars on the freeway again.
	Yay!
	Hello, Bedford boss!
	For over a year, America has been fighting to get back to normal.
	This Salem radio station has been fighting right alongside you.
	You're back.
	It feels so good to be back.

	And I know so many people who are resistant to the vaccine.
	It's just a fact of life.
	And there are people in all walks of life.
	White people, black people, Hispanic people, members of the military, the healthcare profession.
	You know how many nurses and dare I say doctors?
	Physicians assistants?
	Unwilling to get the vaccine?
	It's more than a little.
	So what do we do with them?
	What do we do with those people?
	In fact, that's been one of the most unreported stories of the whole crisis of this pandemic.
	Healthcare workers who are unvaccinated.

	Thank you.
	Steven, let's pretend like you were president for a day.
	What do we do to get this economy back in shape?
	So the first thing we do is we actually do exactly the...
	Think of everything Biden has done and do exactly the opposite.
	And I'm not kidding, Carl.
	I mean, we do exactly the opposite of what Biden is doing.
	You know, we don't need $4 trillion of spending right now.
	We need to be, after a crisis is over, and COVID is basically over now, thanks to Trump and the vaccine, usually after, like, World War II or after the Cold War, we actually cut spending.
	We need to be aggressively cutting government spending.
	By the way, government spending, you know this, Carl.
	Where did this crazy idea come from that government spending stimulates?
	All the government spending stimulates.
	You know what?
	It's so funny that you mention that.
	I talk about that often on my show.
	And one of the things...
	It's frustrating to hear Biden talk about it, but it's even more...
	It's scary to me that people believe it, that there's such a lack of understanding when it comes to economics that it completely baffles me.
	It completely scares me that he could say the things that he says about inflation and just completely get away with it.
	Now, think about somebody like Joe Biden.
	What has Joe Biden done in his life?
	Well, he's never had a job.
	I mean, he's been in government his whole life.

	And the whole point of it was to do comedy from a Christian conservative perspective that wasn't cheesy.
	That didn't make us the joke.
	Isn't it funny that we always have to start there?
	It's really brilliant, but it's not cheesy.
	Like, we're making films, but it's not cheesy.
	There's so much that we do.
	The top of the hour, and we continue now our conversation about the new segregation, new state of segregation, and it looks like we're going to have to reconnect with John
	John W. Whitehead is the president and founder of the Rutherford Institute, online at rutherford.org, and he wrote a piece about the state of segregation that we are entering right now.
	By way of these vaccine passports mandated in America's biggest city yesterday by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
	This is the beginning of the government tracking your movements, the government tracking your history, the government essentially demanding information about you, and judging, perhaps by your social credit score, where you're allowed to go.
	In what venues you're allowed to be present, etc.
	So John W. Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute is back with us now, I understand, so let's pick it up where we left off, talking about the Bill of Rights that is, quite frankly, being cast aside by this new vaccine passport mandate started in New York City, which will be picked up, no question, in other blue cities and states.
	John, thanks for coming back with us.
	We're starting to talk about the Bill of Rights.
	Go ahead, sir.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	The average American doesn't know anything about it.
	I mean, they can't tell you.
	I mean, they don't teach you in the schools anymore very effectively.
	Law students don't.
	Lawyers don't know them.
	So I'm telling people, learn the Bill of Rights.
	You have a right to refuse to do many, many things that you don't realize.
	But here's the point.
	The man who drafted the Bill of Rights, James Madison, said, and this is a quote, we ought to mistrust all those in power.
	And the first time you start believing what government's saying generally, you're in danger.
	And let me tell you why.
	I've sued it out of Washington, D.C. for 40 years.
	I've sued the President of the United States and won the case, by the way.
	The government that operates out of there is run by money and lobbyists.
	There was a detailed study done in 2014 by Princeton University and Northwestern University.
	Of all the 20 years of the law passed in Washington, D.C., the conclusion of the professors was that we live in an oligarchic elite controlled by 585 billionaires.
	So it's all about money.
	You're being taken on many of these cases.
	Listen, when the top 10 millionaires in the first six months of 2021 increase their bankrolls by over $300 billion, you've got to ask the question, how are they making so much money when everybody else is going out of business?
	So, listen, there's a lot of corrupt things in Washington, D.C., and all this is coming out of Washington, D.C. The question is all I'm asking people to do.
	You have a right to make your own choices, but here's the thing.
	Well, they're taking our choices from us.
	We're going to be living in a authoritarian government.
	Yeah, the issue isn't that we're allowed to make our own choices.
	They're taking our choices from us, saying now, unless you do what we tell you, unless you take this experimental drug cocktail, now you can't do things that you want to do.
	A lot of people just choose to do what they're doing.
	They just follow along, is what I'm saying.
	And it's time.
	I don't see hardly anyone out marching or in front of City Hall or doing the things they need to be doing.
	They're sitting back watching TV and all this stuff and engaging in government.
	If you don't engage, I'm telling you, we're moving into, as I noticed here, this emanates Nazi Germany and a lot of other places where they implemented these...
	The kind of programs where you had to have papers and move about, do here and do there, and people wound up in concentration camps.
	And by the way, the Halliburton Corporation back during the Bush administration was given $380 billion to build concentration camps across the country called FEMA camps.
	You know something?
	Former NSA agents say they're already built.
	They're on military bases.
	They're waiting to be filled with people who disagree on certain issues.
	I can see something like this pandemic moving us in that direction, and that's why I'm a little afraid, to be honest with you.
	You should be very afraid, and I'm glad you're sounding the alarm here.
	I like the history that you did here.
	We're talking to John W. Whitehead.
	He's the president and founder of the Rutherford Institute.
	A great commentary that he wrote on the website, rutherford.org, about the new state of segregation.
	Vaccine cards are just the beginning.
	John, let's talk more about world history and what we can learn from this, because you correctly point out about Nazi Germany.
	Everybody knows the Jews were forced to carry...
	This is not new, and if we don't learn from the mistakes made in these decisions made around the world in the past, we're doomed to repeat it, as the saying goes.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You who do not know history will repeat it.
	And we're repeating it, by the way.
	This has happened in many countries.
	This all turned out to be a total dictatorship.
	But one thing I want your listeners to understand here.
	Again, this has been going for a long time.
	The NSA, the CIA, have they been listening on our phone calls?
	All our emails now are read.
	Many local police departments read, by the way, your social media on a daily basis.
	They're in the pre-crime mode.
	There are over 80,000, listen to this, folks, SWAT team raids occurring in America on an annual basis now, up to 3,000 in the 1980s.
	They fleece you up to 500 dogs a day, kids are getting shot, all these things.
	And you know something?
	The mainstream media doesn't cover it.
	So, you need to wake up, get some good sources, get education.
	I say education precedes action.
	I mean, we're moving toward a national ID card.
	And once you move in that direction, you know, there are going to be some people who say, I object.
	You know what's going to happen to them?
	They're going to wind up in jail.
	They're going to wind up arrested.
	And we're going to start seeing that.
	And again, the local media may cover it, but the national media will not.
	So you're in a big, well, I would say we're in a big shark tank right now.
	And those who dare to disagree...
	Are being watched.
	I mean, they're making lists of people.
	There's actually a website that the federal government maintains called Maine Corps that has up to 8 million names of people, they say, will be rounded up in times of distress.
	Well, they literally just announced...
	Yeah, they literally just announced about two weeks ago the Dirty Dozen.
	They said that 12 individuals are responsible for 65% of what they call misinformation about COVID-19 and about vaccines online.
	And they named those 12 individuals, starting with Dr. Joseph Mercola and others who don't toe the line, the government line, and maybe a threat.
	And Robert Kennedy Jr., who we've been working with on all those cases.
	Yep, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, she's in Northeast Ohio, a doctor whom I know very well.
	She was on the list.
	The government is.
	They're identifying people that are threats, and Lord only knows what's going to be done to them and to those who follow them.
	But it's the giant media tech companies that are working with the government.
	They have billion companies.
	People don't know this, but they have million-dollar contracts, Facebook, Amazon.
	We know now, John, and thank you, my friend.
	We're out of time here.
	We know now that Jen Psaki admitted that they were actually working for Mark Zuckerberg.
	We'll be back.
	Is John still there?
	Is John still there?
	That didn't make us the joke.
	Isn't it funny that we always have to start there?
	Yeah.
	It's really brilliant, but it's not cheesy.
	Like, we're making films, but it's not cheesy.
	Well, there's so much that we do that's cheesy.
	And it is an amazing thing.
	I said it before, but you guys, it's not just not cheesy.
	It's brilliant.
	And actually, in the world in which we live today...
	It's almost the only stuff that's happening at that level.
	I mean, there's nothing on the left that can compare to it.
	Well, I can tell you why.
	The reason there's nothing good on the left right now, and I've followed The Onion for years.
	They've been around for 20-plus years.
	They used to be very funny.
	They're less funny now, and they're less funny now for a very good reason.
	You know, the left has made all these rules about what you can and can't say.
	And they also have this idea that you can't offend anybody.
	So in enforcing these rules, they even do this on comedians.
	They try to make comedians follow rules.
	You can't say this.
	You can't say that.
	You can't joke about this.
	You can't offend this people group.
	You can't punch down.
	Never punch down.
	And so they make all these rules.
	And comedians, by their nature...
	Flout rules.
	They make fun of people who make rules.
	That's what comedians are supposed to do, right?
	That's really their role in all of this.
	And so to handcuff comedians in that way, leftists are actually creating, by trying to kill comedy and strangle it, they're creating an opportunity for people on the other side of the aisle to say the things that you're not supposed to say, make the jokes you're not supposed to make.
	It's fascinating to me to see people who might previously have identified as on the left or something.

	And now PragerU is teaching grammar and junior high school kids with its new PragerU kids content.
	Education got us into this mess.
	Education is the only way out.
	We need to support Dennis and his terrific team.
	Go to PragerU.com to donate or call 833- PragerU.
	PragerU.com or 833-PRAGERU. Listen, I've been saying, this is no joke, I've been saying, I've said it on the air when I've said it for Dennis in the past, but I say it on my local program in Cleveland, Ohio, all the time.
	PragerU is the best thing on the internet.
	I mean that.
	PragerU is the best thing on the Internet.
	And it's not just educating high school and college students.
	It's educating adults.
	It's educating anybody who watches it because it presents it in a way that is easily digestible even for those who are not particularly knowledgeable about their history, not knowledgeable about constitutional matters, not knowledgeable about the law, not knowledgeable about politics.
	It explains it in ways that everybody can understand.
	PragerU, to me, is the most valuable thing on the Internet.
	I said that before and I meant it.
	And hopefully you will donate to help save it.

	forgiveness, and redemption for you ma'am as a member of the Olympic team representing the great USA to the whole world for you to desecrate this great nation the way you did is shameful at least and you ought to be absolutely Cut off the team for crapping on the greatest nation in the history of the world.

	It's dedicated to you.
	And it's by the great Merle Haggard.
	Very part of the lyrics.
	When you're knocking down our country, you're walking on the fighting side of me.
	Knocking down the way of life.
	Our fighting men have fought and died to keep.
	If you don't like it, leave it.
	Let this song that I'm singing be a warning.
	If you're knocking down our country, you're walking on the fight inside of me.
	If it came from the great Merle Haggard, Tom, I am all in.

	Which is very interesting because it's been 13 days since the District of Columbia last reported a death with COVID. We've had 11 homicides in the last 13 days, but zero deaths with COVID. Maybe they should ban homicides, Phil.

	No difference in mean CT values.
	In unvaccinated and vaccinated cases.
	In fact, the vaccinated cases were 0.4% higher.
	That's the CDC's own data.
	That vaccinated Americans in Massachusetts, I'm just reading from the document, in Barnstable County, that the median among vaccinated...
	Was N equals 80?
	I'm not sure what that value represents.
	But 21.9, unvaccinated, N equals 65, 21.5.
	I'm guessing that's how many people they were testing.
	I need to go look at what the values represent.
	It says here that risk of infection, reinfection with the Delta variant may be higher, compelled to the Alpha variant.
	But only if prior infection is 180 days earlier.
	It says this, that the Delta variant may cause more severe disease than the Alpha or the ancestral strains.

	Democrats have doubled down on radical indoctrination in schools with their embrace of critical race theory.
	School boards and teachers unions have rushed to implement CRT into their curricula, in some cases while avoiding parental notification.
	Even as these education leaders refused to reopen schools to children, they now plan to use their near monopoly on education to push this highly controversial ideology.
	It's already begun to backfire.
	Parents have begun demanding answers from school boards and campaigned to unseat their members.
	Political reports that even Democratic voters are repelled by these plans and that the radical efforts have fired up independent and conservative voters.
	The combination of closures and radical agendas have handed Republicans their best opening in decades.
	With parents under attack by the education establishment, now is the time to demand comprehensive school choice.
	The choice between liberty and bureaucratic domination over children is now crystal clear in all demographics and areas.
	The GOP needs to wake up to this golden opportunity.
	I'm Ed Morrissey.
	Trending now on The Eric Metaxas Show.
	And then suddenly people wake up.
	I never thought it would get this bad this quickly, but it seems that it has taken the madness.
	Most Americans, if they can finally focus, they just look up and they say, "Wait a minute.
	You're telling me the people burning down buildings aren't doing anything wrong." They're peaceful protesters.
	In other words, your average American who doesn't have a voice the way you do or I do looks around and says, this has gone too far.
	Madness has been unleashed on the land.
	I need to do something for my kids, for my grandkids.
	I thought freedom was a free ride, and I realize now, nope, I'm going to have to pick up my gun and go to the front lines.
	Maybe not literally.
	But it's a similar thing.
	You realize that everything you held near and dear is being threatened directly.
	And when your kids are being threatened, you don't care.
	You're just going to do whatever it takes.
	It's about the kids.
	You know the instinct.
	You know what the Lord teaches us about parenting.
	These parents aren't about to take this.
	They're not about to allow this to happen in their schools.
	They may not have seen it because they worked, but you know, I think the combination of having their kids at home during COVID, I think the left's movement, I think the idea somehow that our country was ill-founded, the 1619 Project.
	This idea that we're racist because we're white, this is something parents are not going to sit back and allow to be propagated.
	And so it'll take a little time to regain control of these city councils, of these school boards, of these state boards or regions that have allowed our university system to become, right, these are American universities.
	Today, they're largely not American, and frankly...

	music So let me make sure I understand this to our DJ slash erstwhile producer, Sean McConnell.
	While Dennis Prager is calling me one of the best talk show hosts in the country, your music backdrop is no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Whoa.
	Whoa.
	No, that's a nice cover.
	That's a nice save.
	Nobody can do the boogaloo like I do?
	Okay.
	All I know is I heard Dennis Prager saying that his show is being hosted today by one of the best talk shows in the country, and his producer played Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope.
	Wow!
	That's just...
	Alright, I'm glad we got that out in the open.
	Now we understand each other.
	Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Hour number two.
	I am indeed Bob Franz, and I am in the ReliefFactor.com studios of AM 1420, The Answer, in Cleveland, Ohio.
	And we have a lot to talk about this hour.
	I welcome your thoughts at 877-243-7776.
	That spells 8 Prager 776. So, I want to follow up on the conversation that I just had with John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute.
	Bill de Blasio just did, yesterday, in New York City, the biggest city in the country.
	Well, at least it used to be.
	The population in New York is declining.
	And if you are in New York City or around it right now, you can bear witness to this and you can call us and talk about it.
	I would love to hear from you, as a matter of fact.
	But New York City is declining.
	But it is still considered the largest city and one of the largest cities in the world.
	There's over 7 million people, presumably, in New York City.
	And its leader, Bill de Blasio, just declared that a significant portion of the population of that city is no longer free to move about the Big Apple.
	No longer free to come and go into places, public places, as you please.
	All because he isn't happy with your own personal decision on how you deal with your health.
	He has made his mind up as to what you must do.
	Now, this isn't new to New York City.
	It's not even new to the mayor's office.
	Remember, Bloomberg, prior to this, instituted the soda tax.
	He didn't like the fact that you were drinking too much soda or eating too much fatty food or whatever the case might be, so you're going to pay more.
	Based on your own medical choices or health decisions.
	But this is different than paying more.
	This is flat-out refusal to allow people to move around the city as they see fit, as people in a free society would.
	So today I announce a new approach, which we're calling the Key to NYC Pass.
	The Key to New York City.
	When you hear those words, I want you to imagine the notion that because Someone's vaccinated, they can do all the amazing things that are available in this city.
	This is a miraculous place, literally full of wonders.
	And if you're vaccinated, all that's going to open up to you.
	You'll have the key, you can open the door.
	But if you're unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things.
	That's the point we're trying to get across.
	It's time for people to see vaccination as literally necessary to living a good and full and healthy life.
	So there you have it from one of your betters, one of your elites, one of the smarter people.
	Bill de Blasio says, it's time for you to recognize vaccines for what they are.
	The key to living a full and better life.
	And if you choose to disagree with me and us, you will certainly have your full and better life limited.
	Your full and better life will be abbreviated.
	You won't be able to go into restaurants, gyms, bars, clubs, stores, what else?
	Concert venues, sports arenas, I'm going to presume mass transit, subways, buses.
	Trains?
	You're not going to be allowed to get on any of those things either in New York City if you are not vaccinated.
	They have decided that it's game on.
	Trying to convince you, trying to scare you, trying to cajole you into doing what big daddy government says hasn't worked.
	Now we have to literally take things away from you.
	In other words, you're grounded if you don't agree to the vaccination.
	I wish I was overstating this, but I'm not.
	You literally are being treated like a child by big daddy government, Bill de Blasio.
	And this, by the way, is just the first big city in the U.S. to impose such a massive citywide restriction.
	It will not be the last, because there are going to be blue state or blue city governors, mayors, executives, and so on and so forth who are going to follow this idea.
	And it is terrifying, quite frankly.
	Now, there is a component to this that I wish wasn't there, but it needs to be discussed.
	There's a racial component to this.
	Katie Pavlich, writing for townhall.com, pointed out correctly that two-thirds, in fact, more than two-thirds of the African-American population in New York City is unvaccinated.
	Let me say that again.
	To be precise, 31% of the African American population, according to the records provided by CDC, 31% of African Americans in New York City are vaccinated with two shots, fully vaccinated.
	That means 69% do not have the necessary vaccine passports necessary to go into all of those public settings I just described.
	Now, I would ask you, if a Republican mayor had made such an edict that you must show your papers of full vaccination in order to have access to all of the things the city has to offer, the key to the city, and 69% of the black people in that city didn't have such papers, how fast would the mainstream media be all over this calling that governor and that policy racist?
	Jim Crow 2.0.
	Blacks need not enter.
	There is the white and vaccinated black entrance over there.
	There is the unvaccinated entrance over here of which you're going to have a majority black.
	Oh, take that back.
	No entrance at all.
	There's no separate entrance.
	You just can't go in at all.
	Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced that 69% of blacks and 58% of Latinos...
	And a majority of the Bronx residents are ineligible to eat in restaurants or go to gyms or go into indoor public settings.
	This is straight-up discrimination.
	And this is the part about it that I find very interesting and also very amusing, to be quite frank.
	What is the narrative that comes from the left-wing media about the unvaccinated versus the vaccinated argument and the divide in the country right now?
	What is the narrative?
	The narrative is that educated blue staters, in other words, Democrats and liberals, Democrats and leftists are the ones who are all about the vaccine.
	And it's the uneducated rubes wearing red hats, they're the ones who are against the vaccine.
	That's how they paint this, right?
	Heck, listen to two of the most...
	Wildly leftist ideologies working in media today talking about this.
	Joy Reid from MSNBC on Stephen Colbert's CBS program.
	Listen to the two of these people.
	I won't use the word I wanted to use there, but suffice it to say, if they've got 10 IQ points to rub together between them, I'd be surprised.
	I don't understand.
	I mean, the Trump following is in many ways fundamentally a cult.
	It's a cult in every sense, and now it appears to be a sort of Jim Jones era cult.
	A death cult.
	A death cult.
	That's ultimately where it ends.
	If the leader doesn't care whether you live or die, that's a guess.
	I mean, the reality is, I don't know if I've said this to you before, but I've said it before, a religion is when your savior dies for you.
	A cult is when you're being asked to die for your savior.
	And unfortunately, that is where we are with the Republican Party.
	It's bizarre.
	My father leaned Republican.
	This isn't because I dislike Republicans I'm saying it.
	There's something wrong, and there's something broken in the party.
	Now, just to break this down, You know, at the very most basic and obvious of levels, 90 to 95% of African Americans vote Democrat.
	In most national elections, around 90% of black people vote Democrat.
	I just told you that 69% of black people in New York City are not vaccinated.
	So how can they sit here and say that it is the Republican cult that is leading people to not get vaccinated?
	Black people, by and large, are not Republican.
	Yet black people are the most unvaccinated population in terms of racial demographics in the country.
	So which is it, Joy Reid?
	African-American woman?
	You and your race of people are the most unvaccinated.
	You're blaming Republicans and a cult of Republicanism for people not getting vaccinated.
	Since when do black Democrats listen to Republicans?
	Your calls are next on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	I mean, if you're going to censor yourself in deference to that power that's above you, that's telling you what you can and can't say, you know, then you are the joke.
	You're not making jokes.
	You are the joke.
	Comedians, you know, in our situation, you know, what we look at is what we're doing.
	We're often accused, we lately have been accused of punching down.
	We're punching back.
	We're not punching down.
	This is a situation where conservatives are literally on the ropes in the culture battle.
	And they're defending themselves against this top-down attack, this top-down tyranny from progressive ideology that's coming from celebrities, it's coming from corporations, it's coming from politicians.
	We're not punching down.
	We're punching back at that stuff.
	So how big...
	It's grown dramatically, but give us some numbers so we have a sense of...
	Where you've come from in the last four years.
	Well, so in the last four years, I mean, we've just reached, we've crossed the one million follower threshold on most of our social media.
	You know what?
	I believe I was the one million follower.
	Were you?
	And don't I get something?
	You get something.
	You get like a million, what is the currency in Venezuela?
	Zloty?
	No, that's another country.
	Yeah, it's worth almost nothing.
	I think you get 30 cents.
	But you know what?
	That's better than nothing.
	It's almost nothing, but it's not nothing.
	A million followers on Twitter, a million followers on Instagram, a million followers on Facebook.
	Oh, on all these platforms.
	Yeah, on each of them.
	But here's the thing.
	That million is worth more than the normal million.
	What I mean is, anybody who appreciates the humor of the Babylon Bee has to be sophisticated.
	Because it is brilliant humor.
	It's not broad.
	It's not stupid humor.

	This insane reversal.
	We've been told by Biden, by Fauci, if you're vaccinated, you don't need a mask.
	Now you do, perhaps for the rest of eternity.
	That this decision is based, apparently, on an unpublished, unpeer-reviewed publication from India about a vaccine that you can't even get here in America.
	Yeah, and it's actually even better than that because they didn't even understand the study.
	Because in the CDC slide deck, they refer to it as a study in healthcare professionals when in fact it was a study in simulated persons in a laboratory.
	It was not a study in actual human beings.
	It was a simulation?
	Yes, it was a simulation.
	It was a lab simulation in India using vaccines that are not used in the United States.
	And that failed peer review.
	So it had already been rejected for publication at the time that they relied on it in their slide deck.
	And now they are sort of, you know, scrambling for other justifications for the policy, having already rolled it out.
	And just an hour or two ago, they rushed out a new study out of Provincetown, Massachusetts, that I suppose is now the new justification for it, the India study.
	Having been discredited.

	Hey, take a look at your cell phone bill.
	If you're with Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile, you are paying too much.
	It's time to switch to Pure Talk.
	Pure Talk can save your family over $800 a year.
	Same great coverage because Pure Talk is on the exact same network as one of the big three, but at a fraction of the price.
	And switching is as easy as switching out your SIM card.
	You keep your phone, you keep your number, or get huge discounts on the latest iPhones and Androids.
	I know Dennis got the iPhone 12 and loves it.
	Plus, right now, unlimited talk, text, and 6 gigs of data.
	Just $30 a month.
	And if you go over on data, they don't charge you for it.
	There's a reason why Pure Talk is the highest rated wireless company by Consumer Affairs and why they're the preferred wireless partner of AMAC. From your cell phone, dial pound 250 and say Dennis Prager and save an additional 50% off your first month.
	That's pound 250 and say Dennis Prager.
	So the left tells us that Republicans are responsible for the number of unvaccinated people in the country.
	They tell us that it's Republicans who are part of a cult, a death cult, like Jim Jones, because they're willing to die for their beliefs.
	They're willing to die from COVID, from this virus that has a 99.7% recovery rate.
	They're willing to die.
	But yet, when you look at the percentages by demographics, The overwhelming majority of people in this country who are not getting vaccinated are brown and black people, or black and brown people as the left likes to refer to them.
	African Americans and Latinos, or Hispanics, are overwhelmingly unvaccinated.
	Well, guess what?
	Overwhelmingly, African Americans and Latinos vote Democrat.
	Why are you blaming Republicans for what decisions they're making?
	Second of all, are we supposed to just forget that when President Trump Put together this unprecedented partnership between the federal government and private companies and pharmaceutical companies and researchers to create these vaccines in a warp speed time frame.
	That's right, warp speed time frame.
	Getting them out to market long before anybody ever thought that they could possibly be produced.
	When President Trump put Operation Warp Speed into effect and those vaccines went on the market, what was Joe Biden?
	What was Kamala Harris?
	What was Nancy Pelosi?
	What was AOC? What was the mainstream media saying to the American public about it?
	I'm not taking that.
	I don't trust that.
	No way.
	If Trump was responsible for it, you think I'm going to take that shot?
	No way.
	They told people not to trust the vaccines.
	The same vaccines, the Moderna, the Pfizer, the Johnson& Johnson.
	It was the leftist leadership, because Trump was associated with it, that told Americans, including and especially black and brown Americans, don't take that.
	And so millions of them listened and said, I'm not taking that.
	And now here we are, fast forward to August of 2021, six months into the Joe Biden presidency, and it's Republicans' fault that people aren't getting vaccinated.
	It's a death cult.
	And how do you trust these people with anything?
	Ever.
	You know, Dennis is famous for saying that the left destroys everything it touches.
	It's not just a bumper sticker slogan or a t-shirt.
	I mean, seriously.
	It's reality.
	I want to go to Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin now, and say hello to Candace.
	Candace, you're on the Dennis Prager program.
	It's Bob France sitting in.
	Go right ahead, Candace.
	Hi, thanks for taking my call.
	I agree with John, who has a few callers back.
	You know, I've been on social media, and it's been proof.
	I mean, it seems like conservative radio, conservative TV is behind the ball on this whole thing.
	Because they're not really telling people that it's not about COVID, it's about something else.
	You know, nailed that.
	But what I'm really upset about is we're not even talking about infrastructure, which is really going to be the real hammer.
	I mean, you guys should be telling people right now to be calling the GOP, because who wants to be pegged per mile when they drive?
	That's in the bill.
	You're not even talking about what's in the bill.
	You're still talking about COVID stuff.
	You're going along with their premises, and it's making me really angry.
	I've been with the GOP for 20 years, and I listen to the radio, and I listen to Fox News, and I am so disappointed, and so many of my friends are saying the same thing.
	You guys are dropping the ball.
	You're behind it.
	Well, here's what I would say in response to that, Candace, and I thank you for your very impassioned phone call.
	I think we can chew gum and walk at the same time.
	And I mean we.
	I don't mean we as in defending conservative talk radio.
	I mean we as just people and as conservatives in general.
	We can do.
	We can juggle.
	We can do two things at once.
	I think the infrastructure bill is a huge threat.
	I was disgusted by and have said so on the radio and have encouraged people to do exactly what you just said.
	Contact the 17 Republicans that agreed to let that infrastructure bill come to the Senate floor for a debate.
	And I agree we need to contact every single Republican in the House and maybe try to find some moderate Democrats as well to make sure that they don't go along with this.
	The $3.5 trillion reconciliation infrastructure add-on, if you will, absolutely must be defeated.
	I think we've made some noise about that, and I think we'll continue to as debate and hearings start over this issue on the Senate floor, but I don't think that means we can abandon talking about this social control that is being implemented right now by the federal government.
	And when I'm talking about social control, I'm talking about COVID-19, I'm talking about vaccine mandates, I'm talking about mask mandates, I'm talking about the combination of the two, I'm talking about what they're doing to our school children, I'm talking about full-on social control of the people.
	Make no mistake about it.
	If they can get us to do exactly what they tell us in the name of our health, because CDC said so.
	CDC, you know, NIH, the National Institute of Health, these are the people we need to be listening to because it's for our own good.
	If they can get us to do what they tell us just in the name of health, now they have established, now they have established that they can tell us to do anything they want as long as we are sufficiently scared.
	It's their job, they want you to believe, to look after your health.
	It's their job to look out for the betterment of the general population.
	And if they can get us to go along with that, if we agree and say, yeah, we know the government's only looking out for our best interests here, if we accept all of that and trust what they say, when they try to control massive aspects of our lives for our own good, then the conditioning has begun.
	Do you understand that?
	Then we will be so much more likely to do exactly what we're told the next time.
	When they take just a little bit more control away from our own lives.
	And they tell us to go here but not there.
	Own this but not that.
	Accept this but refuse that.
	Because it's for your own good.
	We're telling you.
	And when they know we have surrendered our own subjectivity to evaluate situations for ourselves and make up our own minds, When we have decided to let the government decide for us, to substitute their judgment for ours, that's when we become slaves of the state.
	I won't let that happen.
	I'll be right back.

	tomorrow morning, which is very interesting because it's been 13 days since the District of Columbia last reported.
	A death with COVID. We've had 11 homicides in the last 13 days, but zero deaths with COVID. Maybe they should ban homicides, Phil.
	Yeah, right.

	Well, according to the CDC's own documents right here.
	Barn Stable or is it Barn Stable?
	Whatever.
	County, Massachusetts.
	Outbreak.
	In all bold.
	No difference.
	In mean CT values in unvaccinated and vaccinated cases.
	In fact, the vaccinated cases were 0.4% higher.
	That's the CDC's own data.
	That vaccinated Americans in Massachusetts, I'm just reading from the document, in Barnstable County, that the median among vaccinated Was N equals 80?
	I'm not sure what that value represents.
	But 21.9, unvaccinated, N equals 65, 21.5.
	I'm guessing that's how many people they were testing.
	I need to go look at what the values represent.
	It says here that risk of infection, reinfection with the Delta variant may be higher, compelled to the Alpha variant.
	But only if prior infection is 180 days earlier.
	It says this, that the Delta variant may cause more severe disease than the Alpha or the ancestral strains.
	So they're already going to now mandate indoor.
	So, let's get started.
	All right.
	26 minutes before the top of the hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Bob France sitting in for Dennis here in Cleveland, Ohio, the ReliefFactor.com studios of AM 1420. The answer phone lines remain open at 877-243-7776.
	I hope you understand what I meant when I talked about social control.
	It is literally exactly that.
	What they are trying to do is get the people to do exactly what they are told by the government.
	The best way to do that is to say it's in your own best interest, and if you don't do it, you're going to die.
	Or people you love are going to die.
	In other words, to create fear.
	Once they get you doing what they tell you to do without science to back it up, but because they have scared you into such behaviors, then it is so much easier for them to tell you the next thing.
	Where to go, what to do, who to do it with, how long to stay, etc., etc.
	This is when you become a slave of the state.
	Once the big government has decided, or rather convinced you, That their judgment is better than yours.
	That's when they run you rather than the people being free and running their government.
	All right, let's go back to it.
	By the way, I mentioned before about the whole science behind this thing, too.
	Listen to some of the science I was talking about here.
	The director of the National Institute of Health.
	I want you to listen to these two clips back to back.
	The director of the National Institute for Health, or of Health, rather.
	Was on CNN telling people that in order to really stop this terribly dangerous Delta variant, we have to wear masks at home.
	Parents have to wear masks at home in front of their kids.
	Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institute of Health, remember...
	Trust the science.
	Listen to the scientists.
	Here's one of the lead scientists in the country, especially as it pertains to epidemiology and transmissible infectious disease or virus.
	Dr. Francis Collins telling us what to do.
	Yeah, you do need to think about it.
	And that's the reason why the recommendations are for kids under 12, that they avoid being in places where they might get infected, which means recommendations of mask wearing in schools and at home.
	Parents of unvaccinated kids should be thoughtful about this, and the recommendation is to wear masks there as well.
	You just heard the director of the National Institute of Health say, parents wear masks at home.
	He knew how that sounded, and yet doubled down on it.
	I know that's uncomfortable.
	I know it seems weird, but it is the best way to protect your kids.
	And it was only after huge backlash from that did he say, okay, you don't have to wear masks.
	Masks at home, mom and dad.
	But this was his statement.
	He said it once, then doubled down on it.
	I want you to hear that.
	Followed by this.
	Another doctor, remember, listen to the science.
	This is a CNN doctor who has been on many times.
	He's a regular contributor, if you will, whatever you want to call it.
	This doctor actually came clean and said something that many of us have been saying for a very long time about masks.
	That masks just don't work.
	One doctor says wear them all the time, even at home with your kids.
	This doctor on CNN. But you have some places mandating masks indoors.
	You just heard the New York City mayor saying, I recommend masks indoors.
	You have CDC guidelines.
	You have some Republican governors saying, hell no, we will not allow any mandates.
	Where are we?
	Well, first of all, we're in a very unfortunate situation.
	We've really...
	It brought this country to a point of confusion which really misses the main point that we should be focusing on vaccine, vaccine, and vaccine.
	You know, I wish we'd get rid of the term masking.
	Because, in fact, it implies anything you put in front of your face works.
	And if I could just add a nuance to that, which hopefully doesn't add more confusion, is we know today that many of the face cloth coverings that people wear are not very effective in reducing any of the virus movement in or out.
	Either you're breathing out or you're breathing in.
	And, in fact, if you're in the Upper Midwest right now, anybody who's wearing their face cloth covering can tell you they can smell all the smoke that we're still getting.
	We need to talk about better.
	We need to talk about N95 respirators, which would do a lot for both people who are not yet vaccinated or not previously infected.
	So there you have Dr. Osterholm, a regular CNN medical consultant, on CNN saying, you know those masks you've been wearing for the last 16 months-ish?
	They're useless.
	They don't work.
	Not for exhaling or expelling the virus particles or inhaling them.
	They don't work.
	And yet, Bill de Blasio and Joe Biden and big state governors, big city governors, big city mayors and so forth, have all continued to tell you that masking is what's going to save us.
	The other doctor on CNN said, mask at home.
	This doctor says masks don't work.
	Unless you have an N95 on, masks don't work.
	So what does that tell you?
	It's a show!
	It's a show!
	It is all a big show.
	We'll be back.
	Trending now on the Larry Alder Show.
	Steven, let's pretend like you were president for a day.
	What do we do to get this economy back in shape?
	So the first thing we do is we actually do exactly the...
	Think of everything Biden has done and do exactly the opposite.
	And I'm not kidding, Paul.
	I mean, we do exactly the opposite of what Biden is doing.
	You know, we don't need...
	$4 trillion of spending right now.
	We need to be, after a crisis is over and COVID is basically over now, thanks to Trump and the vaccine, usually after World War II or after the Cold War, we actually cut spending.
	We need to be aggressively cutting government spending.
	By the way, government spending, you know this, Carl.
	Where did this crazy idea come from that government spending stimulates?
	All that government spending stimulates is government.
	Let me put it very simply, because this is really important.
	I know you know this as a businessman.
	The only way that the government can give you $1,000 is to take $1,000 away from me, right?
	It's a zero-sum game.
	And all we're doing is taking money away from producers and giving it to people who don't produce.
	That's that formula for disaster.
	You know what?
	It's so funny that you mention that.
	I talk about that often on my show.
	And one of the things, it's frustrating to hear Biden talk about it, but it's even more, it's scary to me.
	That people believe it.
	That there's such a lack of understanding when it comes to economics.
	It completely baffles me.
	It completely scares me that he could say the things that he says about inflation and just completely get away with it.
	Now think about somebody like Joe Biden.
	What has Joe Biden done in his life?
	Well, he's never had a job.
	I mean, he's been in government his whole life.
	And the whole point of it was to do comedy from a Christian conservative perspective that wasn't cheesy.
	That didn't make us the joke.
	Isn't it funny that we always have to start there?
	It's really brilliant, but it's not cheesy.
	Like we're making films, but it's not cheesy.
	It's a TV program, but it's not cheesy.
	And it is an amazing thing.
	I said it before, but you guys, it's not just not cheesy.
	It's brilliant.
	And actually, in the world in which we live today, it's almost the only stuff that's happening at that level.
	I mean, there's nothing on the left that can compare to it.
	The reason there's nothing good on the left right now, and I've followed The Onion for years.
	Well, I can tell you why.
	They've been around for 20-plus years.
	They used to be very funny.
	They're less funny now, and they're less funny now for a very good reason.
	You know, the left has made all these rules about what you can and can't say.
	And they also have this idea that you can't offend anybody.
	So in enforcing these rules, they even do this on comedians.
	They try to make comedians follow rules.
	You can't say this.
	You can't say that.
	You can't joke about this.
	You can't offend this people group.
	You can't punch down.
	Never punch down.
	And so they make all these rules.
	And comedians, by their nature...
	Flout rules.
	They make fun of people who make rules.
	That's what comedians are supposed to do, right?
	That's really their role in all of this.
	And so to handcuff comedians in that way, leftists are actually creating, by trying to kill comedy and strangle it, they're creating an opportunity for people on the other side of the aisle to say the things that you're not supposed to say, make the jokes you're not supposed to make.
	It's fascinating to me to see people who might previously have identified as on the left or something.
	pushing back against the cancel culture and the absurdity of this because they usually the ones who were doing that with with the right Keep up

	Hey, Brent, you're on the Dennis Prager Show.
	It's Bob France sitting in.
	Go right ahead.
	Blessings and dittos, Bob.
	Thank you very much, and right to you as well.
	Thanks.
	And as a Jewish-American patriot, rather than celebrating the defeat of the disgraceful and demonically motivated anti-American athletes and God-hating Olympians, I call instead to thank God for bringing justice to these evil athletes, as he did at the 1936 Olympics when he allowed Jesse Owens to vanquish Hitler's superior race and Joe Louis.
	To defeat Hitler's heavyweight darling Schmeling.
	You know, I was too young to witness any of those things.
	They are a big part of my studying of history, and you're exactly right.
	We celebrate the vanquishing of evil people with evil intentions.
	And to me, again, kind of what I said to a previous caller, Brent, I think we can do two things at once.
	I think we can celebrate the loss of people who deserve to lose, especially when their intention, if they won, was to go up and attack.
	And embarrass on the world stage a great God-fearing Judeo-Christian nation like ours.
	I think we can celebrate their losses while also then celebrating the victories of those who deserve it.
	Yeah, and it's so sad and so tragic that God gave these Olympians such talent and they just threw it away.
	Well, I'm going to focus my attention, my friend.
	Thank you for the call, Brent.
	Early in the program, We did a little Olympic recap.
	Megan Rapinoe and the woke U.S. national women's soccer team embarrassing the Stars and Stripes, planning their protests.
	They kneel every time the anthem is played and so forth.
	They won't get to the medal stage, or at least to the gold medal bracket or a gold medal game where they could possibly have the anthem played for them to disgrace us on the world stage because they lost to Canada.
	They can only get a bronze if that.
	Then we talked about Gwen Berry, the U.S. Olympic hammer thrower, who announced, If she gets to the medal stand, she plans to protest the oppressive nature of the United States, again, telling the world from the medal stand that the U.S. is systemically oppressive and racist to people of color.
	And she didn't even medal, so she won't get a chance to do that as well.
	You know who did medal?
	Tamara Mensah Stock medaled, an African-American 28-year-old woman from Katy, Texas, who won a gold medal in wrestling and said this after her victory.
	Last question for you.
	That American flag around your shoulders looks pretty good.
	How does that feel to represent your country like this?
	It feels amazing.
	I love representing the U.S. I freaking love living there.
	I love it, and I'm so happy I get to represent U.S. Well said.
	Congratulations.
	Enjoy that gold, and we'll see you out there on the podium, okay?
	Thank you!
	I'll try not to cry.
	No problem.
	I cannot watch that little video clip there without just joining her smile.
	She's smiling ear to ear.
	She's happy.
	She's proud.
	She's passionate.
	She's excited for the great country.
	She's wrapping herself in that flag like she was in the middle of a cold winter's night, wrapping a warm blanket around her, snuggled up in it, and happy as a lark.
	You have to see it to experience her unbridled joy.
	And like I said before, and I'll say it again, she's America's daughter right now.
	To me, if I am a publicist or an agent, I am speeding to Tamara Mensa Stock's representation.
	And I'm trying to ink her to a deal immediately.
	She's going to be the most marketable star to come out of these Olympics.
	Because she gets it.
	And Americans who believe in great American exceptionalism and American pride, American worth, Are going to buy anything this girl is selling.
	For goodness sake, sign her up right now.
	I wish I had the ability to because I would market her until she couldn't take it anymore because that's how wonderful she is.
	What a great representation of this country.
	Let's go to Orlando, Florida now.
	We'll say hello to JJ. Hi, JJ. You're on the Dennis Prager Show, but it's Bob sitting in.
	Go right ahead.
	Hi, Bob.
	Great.
	You're a great fill-in for Dennis.
	Thank you.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, I think people are, well, for one thing, the whole mask thing makes people feel better, like they're doing their part, no questions asked.
	Questions like, which vaccine, Moderna, Pfizer, or J&J, has the most breakthrough cases of catching COVID? I mean, how can they tell us you can't go to these restaurants?
	And, like, Don Lemon doesn't even want you to go to a supermarket.
	He mentioned on Cuomo, the younger, like that unvaccinated people shouldn't even be able to go to the supermarket.
	Well, they are proponents of what I talked about in our number one.
	If you go back and look at the history of leper colonies, going back to the Middle Ages, but extending all the way to modern times, you know, in the early part of the last century, we still had leper colonies, where people who were considered to be diseased were quarantined off.
	They were separated from the rest of society.
	If they're going into a market, it's going to be only their market.
	If they're going into a restaurant, it's only going to be their restaurant.
	They didn't even have those either.
	Nobody wanted to be there to cook for them or serve them.
	So yes, this is an attempt at new segregation by way of people's health status.
	And the vaccine passports that they're mandating, JJ, in New York City and elsewhere is only the first step.
	It's going to not only be a vaccine passport, it's going to be a national ID card, which will have your medical information on it, your vaccine history on it, and just about everything else that they can to control your life.
	It's outrageous.
	It is every bit that, JJ. I apologize.
	I'm going to get to our heartbreak here.
	But I thank you for that phone call.
	Don Lemon is, yes, advocating for leper colonies in the era of COVID.
	We'll be back.

	Well, according to the CDC's own documents, right here, Barnes Stable, or is it Barnes Stable?
	Whatever.
	County Massachusetts outbreak.
	In all bold, no difference in mean CT values in unvaccinated and vaccinated.
	In fact, the vaccinated cases were 0.4% higher.
	That's the CDC's own data.
	That vaccinated Americans in Massachusetts, and this is, I'm just reading from the document, in Barnstable County, that the median among vaccinated was N equals 80. I'm not sure what that value represents.
	But 21.9, unvaccinated, N equals 65, 21.5.
	I'm guessing that's how many people they were testing.
	I need to go look at what the values represent.
	It says here that risk of infection, reinfection with the Delta variant may be higher, compelled to the Alpha variant, but only if prior infection is 180 days earlier.
	It says this.

	Josh is calling us from Los Angeles.
	Hey, Josh, Bob Franson for Dennis.
	You're on the air.
	Go right ahead.
	Bob, how are you doing?
	Good, sir.
	What's on your mind?
	Good.
	Well, I mean, I was just listening to what you were saying about the mask and everything like that.
	And I've been in asbestos removal for a very long time.
	And if you do any kind of research, asbestos particles are the exact same size as COVID particles.
	And for asbestos removal, you need a respirator with a HEPA filter on them.
	They're telling you cloth masks and N95 masks are going to work.
	It just isn't going to happen.
	If they're that small, they're just going to go right through that.
	Especially when you consider the way most of the cloth and the surgical masks fit, they don't hug snug up against your cheek and around your nose and everything anyway, which is a good thing that there's gaps in them.
	It's a good thing from the standpoint that you can actually inhale oxygen through those gaps and exhale some of your CO2 through those gaps.
	But, as you point out, the particles are coming right through it anyway.
	Of course, yeah.
	Like I tell anybody, if you could blow smoke through that mask that you're wearing, COVID particles are 50,000 times smaller than smoke particles.
	So what does that tell you?
	We've seen countless examples of that.
	That's why so many of us have said time and time again, and you're so right, Josh, thanks for the call, that the science does not support masking.
	The science does not support covering your face and causing all of these problems, which, by the way, it does.
	It's a severe threat to the health of healthy people to wear masks eight hours a day on the job, school children seven hours a day in schools.
	It's a very serious threat in a number of ways, and the science does not support putting these things on people when they will not stop, according to even CNN's doctors now, stop the virus particles from coming in anyway.
	We'll take a timeout here at the top.
	At the top of the hour, Patrick Wood of Citizens for Free Speech will join us next.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	And the whole point of it was to do comedy from a Christian conservative perspective that wasn't cheesy, that didn't make us the joke because we were-- Isn't it funny that we always have to start there?
	Yeah.
	It's really brilliant, but it's not cheesy.
	Like, we're making films, but it's not cheesy.
	It's a TV program, but it's not cheesy.
	Well, there's so much that we do that's cheesy.
	And it is an amazing thing.
	I said it before, but you guys, it's not just not cheesy.
	It's brilliant.
	And actually, in the world in which we live today...
	It's almost the only stuff that's happening at that level.
	I mean, there's nothing on the left that can compare to it.
	Well, I can tell you why.
	The reason there's nothing good on the left right now, and I've followed The Onion for years.
	They've been around for 20-plus years.
	They used to be very funny.
	They're less funny now, and they're less funny now for a very good reason.
	You know, the left has made all these rules about what you can and can't say.
	And they also have this idea that you can't offend anybody.
	So in enforcing these rules, they even do this on comedians.
	They try to make comedians follow rules.
	You can't say this, you can't say that, you can't joke about this, you can't offend this people group, you can't punch down, never punch down.
	And so they make all these rules, and comedians, by their nature...
	Flout rules.
	They make fun of people who make rules.
	That's what comedians are supposed to do, right?
	That's really their role in all of this.
	And so to handcuff comedians in that way, leftists are actually creating, by trying to kill comedy and strangle it, they're creating an opportunity for people on the other side of the aisle to say the things that you're not supposed to say, make the jokes you're not supposed to make.
	It's fascinating to me to see people who might previously have identified as on the left or something.
	pushing back against the cancel culture and the absurdity of this because they usually the ones who were who were doing that with with the right keep up with what's trending subscribe today at rumble.com trending now on the mike gilliger show and it's a he says

	Matt Taibbi says, I'm vaccinated.
	I think people should be vaccinated.
	But the latest...
	Moral mania we're witnessing.
	And make no mistake about it, he writes, the pandemic of the unvaccinated PR campaign is the latest in a ceaseless series of such manias dating back to late 2016. Lays bare everything that's abhorrent and nonsensical in modern American politics.
	I think that's such a smart...
	In fact, those panelists on The Five yesterday were very wisely pointing out, Greg Gutfeld said to Geraldo, if you're trying to be persuasive, buddy, it ain't working.
	It ain't working.
	800-655-MIKE. Let's just see how persuasive Geraldo Rivera was.
	Here's Chris on line one.
	Hey, Chris, did Geraldo...
	Help you make up your mind about the vaccine?
	Totally, totally.
	Now, I'm really pissed off because my sister is a state worker, and she doesn't want to get the vaccine, but she has to do it.
	So I was going to basically get it to help her move on, okay?
	But after hearing him, I'm not going to do it.
	Thank you.
	It's time.
	It's time for the fearless.
	There's no time for the meek.
	This is America's moment, what's taking place in our schools, the crime in our cities.
	All of these things that we can see unraveling this most exceptional nation.
	It's time for the real believers and the real conservatives to step forward and be absolutely fearless in doing so.
	But I think a lot of Americans have woken up.
	And so we don't even know what is going on on the grassroots level because you can't keep track of everything.
	But I think people are rising.
	And they're looking for folks like you and the handful of others in Congress, and they're saying we can no longer do business as usual.
	But, I mean, 10 years ago, you were not thinking like this.
	No, no.
	You nailed it.
	You absolutely nailed it.
	And by the way, I can give you two data points from the last 48 hours.
	I was in southwest Missouri at the Ashcroft Family Farm.
	It was a picnic outdoor.
	Poured rain right about an hour before the picnic.
	Nobody left.
	They left.
	They gave me a chance.
	They gave former Attorney General Ashcroft a chance to talk about the Bible and America and what we were all going to go do.
	These people were on fire to take back.
	And I had people come up and say, I never thought I'd run for city council, and I'm going to do it.
	And I had a couple of law enforcement who said, you know, I didn't have any interest in actually being the sheriff, but our sheriff won't enforce the rules.
	I'm going to go do that.
	No, this is different.
	I was in Iowa at an event that was very similar to that.
	People are engaged in their civic life, in their churches.
	And they're community in ways that I have not seen.
	I've been at this now nine, ten years from the time I first lost my mind and ran for Congress when Obama was the president and we had to throw Nancy out the last time.
	Who to believe would have to throw her out of speakership again?
	But here we are.
	And this is a moment where people are being tested.
	They're being challenged.
	And my observation is people are rising to that challenge.

	. you Universal masking is going to be mandatory for source control and prevention, but most amazingly in the new CDC leaked documents that we have here on our program is that they model the vaccine only being 75 to 85 percent effective.
	That's their own internal modeling.
	Is that a vaccine or is that a therapeutic?
	Have you ever heard of a vaccine only being 75% or 85% effective?
	That's their own modeling.
	That's their own assumptions.
	And it says here, given higher transmissibility and current vaccine coverage, universal masking is essential to reduce transmission of the dental variant.
	Basically, they're saying, look, you want to talk about people who are sowing vaccine hesitancy?
	You want to talk about people that are selling discord and losing trust in the back?

	Hopefully.
	But welcome.
	As we do continue, we're going to continue our discussion of the very precarious state of freedom in this country.
	Very important conversation.
	And an extraordinarily dangerous...
	Move made yesterday, the strongest so far from those looking to establish big government control over individual liberties.
	This was the mayor of America's largest city, New York, Bill de Blasio, announcing that you don't have the freedom you once thought you did, or maybe that you once did and that you thought you might still have.
	You don't have it.
	As a matter of fact, here's the story.
	If you want to be free in our city, you'll do exactly what we tell you to do, or you will have no freedom at all.
	So today I announce a new approach, which we're calling the Key to NYC Pass.
	The Key to New York City.
	When you hear those words, I want you to imagine the notion that because someone's vaccinated, they can do all the amazing things that are available in this city.
	This is a miraculous place, literally full of wonders.
	And if you're vaccinated, all that's going to open up to you.
	You'll have the key.
	You can open the door.
	But if you're unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things.
	That's the point we're trying to get across.
	It's time for people to see vaccination as literally necessary to living a good and full and healthy life.
	That is a staggering declaration.
	A staggering development.
	And here now to react to that and more is a true defender of freedom, a true defender of liberty.
	As a matter of fact, he is the founder and the executive director of Citizens for Free Speech, a 501c3 nonprofit based in Arizona that I am proud to work with as the national director of communications.
	Patrick Wood joins us now on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Pat, good afternoon.
	Good to talk to you.
	How are you?
	Welcome, Bob.
	Doing great.
	Thank you.
	You and I talk on a very regular basis about the attacks on our freedom.
	Normally they're about the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the things associated with the First Amendment, of course, upon which CFFS is based.
	But, Pat, let's talk about what I just played.
	You know, we've known that vax passports were a possibility.
	We've known that mandates for either vaxing or masking or...
	Now, in these late stages of their fear campaign, both.
	You are mandatorily going to get vaccinated, and you're going to wear a mask anyway.
	We knew these things were a possibility, but now they're starting to come to fruition.
	What is your reaction to what you just heard from Bill de Blasio?
	New Yorkers who are unvaccinated cannot go indoors in public places.
	Not to restaurants, not to bars, not to gyms, not to concert arenas, not to sporting venues.
	Anywhere, you no longer have a key to move freely in their city.
	That's right.
	Not only is this absolutely outrageous, Bob, but it is completely lawless as well.
	This is the most dangerous trend America has ever seen.
	We are the land of the rule of law.
	We have a Congress.
	We have a judicial system.
	And laws have always been...
	The backbone of American life.
	And all of these people across the country, including de Blasio, have adopted a completely lawless mentality that they can just do whatever the heck they want to do in the name of emergency, of course, but they can break any existing law and rule that exists in our country, and believe me, they have busted just about everything you can imagine.
	Yeah, and you know, Patrick, The acknowledgement and the recognition of what they are doing, I think, is starting to become more commonplace.
	People realize what is happening, but that doesn't help them figure out what to do about it.
	And that's what I want to talk about with you.
	You have been a very active participant in fighting for the First Amendment since you founded CFFS in 2018.
	You've been doing a lot to push back against a lot of the other agendas through technocracy and your study of technocracy and your books about technocracy.
	So we're looking for leaders right now, Patrick, and I think you can be one of them.
	As a matter of fact, I'll go ahead and toot your horn for you here.
	You were presented with the Edward Teller Award for the Defense of Freedom by DDP, the Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, just this morning.
	You are one of the leaders that we are looking to.
	What do we need to do in order to, well, we already recognize what they're doing to us, but to find a way to put a stop to it?
	You bet.
	Well, I'll tell you one thing.
	If somebody is not fighting mad, they're probably not going to be useful to anybody at this point to stop this.
	However, if you are fighting mad, if you are angry...
	You should redirect your anger into positive, constructive solutions, and that's what we're trying to do with Citizens for Free Speech.
	And I will say, we're fighting that at this point, but we're not going to just yell and scream and run around.
	We're actually providing concrete solutions for people to learn how to communicate whatever their message is, whatever they want to get involved in.
	And we're giving them collateral.
	We're giving them opportunities to communicate privately and protect their free speech.
	Nobody else in the country at this point, Bob, is so much in tune or in touch with this kind of behavior.
	This is where it has to start.
	Just pounding your TV, yelling at the screen.
	Complaining to your neighbors, that just isn't going to do anything.
	We need to take constructive, positive action and the time is right this minute.
	Patrick Wood is my guest, the executive director and the founder of Citizens for Free Speech.
	Again, it's a non-profit you can find online at citizensforfreespeech.org.
	Citizensforfreespeech.org.
	There is an Ohio chapter.
	We picked Ohio as the first chapter, our state, to have a chapter because there were more members in Ohio than any other state.
	But new chapters are being formed around the country.
	And in order to do that, wherever you're listening right now...
	And we're blasting to 50 states right now.
	If you would like to start a chapter or be a part of a chapter in your state, you first have to become a member at CitizensForFreeSpeech.org.
	Pat, talk about the training and what is done.
	When somebody becomes a member, how can that make them go from mad enough to pound your desk as you're watching TV to getting up and being, as you say, fighting mad and getting out there to do something about it?
	You bet.
	When somebody joins the General Organization of Citizens for Free Speech, they have the opportunity to become a volunteer at the same time.
	A volunteer simply means you want to take action.
	You don't want to just kind of look over the corner, over the fence and see what's going on.
	You want to actually take action.
	When you become a volunteer at Citizens for Free Speech, it opens up access to you for our private social network.
	It's encrypted.
	It's on servers that we own.
	It's not data mined.
	It's not penetrable by other outside coaches that want to snoop.
	And you can gain access to the training on our local activist website, which is a social media platform.
	And it's free.
	I want to state this again.
	Our training right now is free.
	We depend on the donations of our members to do this.
	We don't want to...
	We don't deny anybody access because we put a price tag on it.
	So we want to encourage everybody that gets involved, if you want to really get constructive, take our Citizen Ninja training, which is based on a book by Mary Baker called Citizen Ninja Stand Up to Power, and learn how to communicate in your local community.
	And people are telling us, it's just amazing.
	In fact, if one lady wrote to us the other day and says, thank you, you changed my life.
	That was kind of unexpected, but, you know, this is where the action is right now.
	We need to become a nation of warriors.
	Not physically, not swinging and baseball bats and stuff, but we need to become a nation of statesmen and people able to communicate using our skills.
	You know, using our messages and stuff to turn this stuff around and turn it back on these people.
	Yeah, and the only way that can happen is through numbers, which is the point, which is why we need to grow the growing membership.
	I think some 33,000 members strong now of Citizens for Free Speech.
	We need to grow the membership, but also take those members and have them spread the message in their communities, because the more of us there are, I've said this many times, local government leaders or state government leaders or whatever can ignore a few angry voices.
	They cannot avoid a few thousand angry voices in communities, in counties, in states.
	That's when they have to act, and that's what our goal is.
	How do we convince people, like you said, through citizen ninja trading and more?
	Pat, we have a timeout coming here, but I want you to hang on because on the other side...
	I want to talk about the true threat of this new mask mandate.
	The VAX mandate we just discussed, what they're doing in New York and how that's going to spread.
	But I want to talk about the mask mandate.
	We've been through this once already.
	Now we're about to go through it again.
	Massive numbers of retailers have already announced new mask mandates just like they had in 2020. Giant Eagle stores, Home Depot stores, employers, colleges and universities all requiring these things.
	We want to talk about how...
	How much of a threat that really is to our First Amendment rights.
	That's why it's a big part of what we do at CFFS Citizens for Free Speech.
	We'll be right back with Patrick Wood.
	I'm Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com for Town Hall.
	Democrats have doubled down on radical indoctrination in schools with their embrace of critical race theory.
	School boards and teachers unions have rushed to implement CRT into their curricula, in some cases while avoiding parental notification.
	Even as these education leaders refused to reopen schools to children, they now plan to use their near monopoly on education to push this highly controversial ideology.
	It's already begun to backfire.
	Parents have begun demanding answers from school boards and campaigned to unseat their members.
	Political reports that even Democratic voters are repelled by these plans and that the radical efforts have fired up independent and conservative voters.
	The combination of closures and radical agendas have handed Republicans their best opening in decades.
	With parents under attack by the education establishment, now is the time to demand comprehensive school choice.
	The choice between liberty and bureaucratic domination over children is now crystal clear in all demographics and areas.
	The GOP needs to wake up to this golden opportunity.
	I'm Ed Morrissey.
	Trending now on The Eric Metaxas Show.
	Suddenly people wake up.
	I never thought it would get this bad this quickly, but it seems that it has taken the madness.
	Most Americans, if they can finally focus, they just look up and they say, "Wait a minute.
	You're telling me the people burning down buildings aren't doing anything wrong." They're peaceful protesters.
	In other words, your average American who doesn't have a voice the way you do or I do looks around and says, this has gone too far.
	Madness has been unleashed on the land.
	I need to do something for my kids, for my grandkids.
	I thought freedom was a free ride, and I realize now, nope, I'm going to have to pick up my gun and go to the front lines.
	Maybe not literally.
	But it's a similar thing.
	You realize that everything you held near and dear is being threatened directly.
	And when your kids are being threatened, you don't care.
	You're just going to do whatever it takes.
	It's about the kids.
	You know the instinct.
	You know what the Lord teaches us about parenting.
	These parents aren't about to take this.
	They're not about to allow this to happen in their schools.
	They may not have seen it because they worked.
	But, you know, I think the combination of having their kids at home during COVID, I think the left's movement, I think the idea somehow that our country was ill-founded, the 1619 Project, this idea that we're racist because we're white, this is something parents are not going to sit back and allow to be propagated.
	And so it'll take a little time to regain control of these city councils, of these school boards, of these state boards or regions that have allowed our university system to become, right, these are American universities.
	Today, they're largely not American and, frankly, not the kind of university anybody would be proud of.

	As you know, August is fundraising month for PragerU.
	With over 5 billion views, PragerU has been educating college and high school students all over the world.
	And now PragerU is reaching grammar in junior high school kids as well with its new PragerU Kids content.
	Education got us into this mess, my friends.
	Education.
	We need to support Dennis and his terrific team at PragerU.
	Go to PragerU.com and donate, please, or call 833-PRAGERU. So that's PragerU.com or 833-PRAGERU. Extraordinarily important.
	We continue now.
	Bob France in for Dennis, along with Patrick Wood, who is the Executive Director and Founder of Citizens for Free Speech.
	Pat, we have spent over the course of the last year and a half or so that I've been with you at CFFS talking about the fight against these mask mandates.
	A lot of people say, what's the big deal?
	It doesn't hurt you.
	If they want you to wear a mask, just put on the mask to get into the store, to get into the building, to go into the school.
	What's the big deal?
	Patrick Wood, what's the big deal?
	Well, number one, it's an egregious violation of the First Amendment free speech because when you have a face muzzle on, You cannot communicate freely the way that you're supposed to.
	And people are now even self-censoring, not saying things that they would otherwise probably like to say.
	Secondly, everything that goes along with it, social distancing is an absolute violation of the freedom to assemble, which is ensconced in our First Amendment and the Constitution.
	The right to redress the government for grievances also.
	You can't get in a government building these days without a face mask on.
	This is absolutely outrageous.
	Secondly, it is not just harmless behavior.
	There are risks and dangers to wearing a face mask on a regular basis.
	We've documented this six ways to Sunday, and people should be aware of this.
	But that information, that contrary information, is being suppressed.
	Massively, which is also a violation of the First Amendment.
	It's everywhere you look.
	Free speech is being shut down in America.
	This is why we're so forcefully opposed to it.
	And Patrick, specifically, there are a lot of people in the medical community who are They're more concerned with following the agenda set forth by the president who appoints the director of the CDC. They're
	not elected.
	They're not subject to Senate confirmation.
	It's a hand-picked person running the CDC. That makes it more of a political arm than a medical arm.
	And when they are arguing on behalf of masking that does not work, and they are silencing doctors who are proving that they don't work.
	They're silencing doctors who have done studies with control groups.
	Full-on studies, they're just kind of dismissing them from the medical community, and then big technology, which you and I often talk about in Silicon Valley, they are a big part of that silencing.
	They de-platform these doctors, they de-platform these scientists, and then tell you, well, they weren't following science, so you don't get to listen to them.
	That's exactly what the First Amendment was created for, is to protect all of that speech, even that with which one might disagree.
	Well, that's exactly right.
	And I have to say that the people who are actually pushing us from the top, like the director of the CDC and so on, these people are in a very small minority of medical professionals in the world.
	There are factors probably 10, 20 times more doctors and professionals outside of that group who are saying, stop, wait, we need to talk about this, don't do it, etc.
	And they are being marginalized as the radical fringe when, in fact, it's the other way around.
	The people who are in these giant institutions, like the World Health Organization and the CDC and NIH, these people are really the radical fringe at this point, not the massive numbers of professionals and doctors and scientists and stuff who are saying, we need to stop and talk about this right this second.
	And, of course, this is massive censorship.
	It's just at its worst.
	And it cannot be allowed to continue.
	We just have to break through and restore free speech to America.
	This is one of the reasons why, and Patrick, this broadcast is more than just a radio broadcast.
	It is airing live on our web page, on Salem web page as well.
	So I'm going to use that to show this for one second.
	Where's my camera?
	There we go.
	This is a brochure that is produced by CFFS. That's Patrick's organization, Citizens for Free Speech.
	It's entitled Face Masks Pose Serious Risks to the Healthy.
	And they do.
	When people say it's no big deal, there is a big deal.
	And there is a boatload of science contained in this trifold brochure written by esteemed, internationally recognized neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock.
	He would be one, Patrick, that is, again, kind of...
	On the outside, looking into the CDC, he poses or actually offers different evidence than they want you to be aware of.
	So he's canceled.
	He's dismissed as a kook, just like Dr. McCullough, just like Sherry Tenpenny and many others.
	These are people that have very verifiable, rather, studies that prove the dangers of wearing face masks for healthy people.
	And that's why you and CFFS are pushing these out, because big tech won't let anybody know about this.
	Well, they won't.
	And last year, when we first produced this brochure, Dr. Blaylock was excoriated for saying that the virus, if you wear a mask, that the viral load that accumulates in your mask will go back into your nasal cavity and travel up your olfactory nerve into your brain, bypassing the blood-brain barrier.
	He was excoriated for that.
	Ripped apart.
	Oh, how dare he say something like that.
	Six months later, Bob.
	He has been completely vindicated and said, oh, well, gee, I guess, yeah, you know, it did actually go up the olfactory nerve into the brain.
	How about that?
	So did anybody apologize?
	No, nobody said anything to Blaylock.
	But now one of the main concerns that people are having with face masks happens to be, happens to be concerned with neurological disorders in the head, in the brain.
	And he warned about this.
	Everybody just blew him up.
	This is the dangerous part of censorship.
	It's so dangerous.
	It's harming people that can't get the information that they need.
	Rather, doctors like Blalock are just, you know, drug over the coals and thrown out as if they're some kind of fringe, you know, wingnut wacko.
	Hardly.
	He called the shots exactly as it was.
	Now he's calling the shots on the vaccine.
	A lot of people doing the same thing now.
	He's getting censored.
	He's getting blasted.
	He's getting, how dare a doctor say something like this?
	Everybody knows it's foolish.
	Well, he will be vindicated on this, I'm afraid, in the end as well.
	And that's why we produced a second brochure about informed consent.
	Yeah, I was just about to bring that up in the minute that I have left.
	I can show this to our camera as well for those who are watching and listening online.
	This is what you need to know about informed consent, and that is what you need to know before you are forced to take a vaccine from an employer or a school or somebody else that is trying to tell you you must do it or you can't be there anymore.
	You have to provide informed consent, and that can only be given when everything that is known about these vaccines is conveyed to you, which, of course, they do.
	These are experimental and unapproved vaccines.
	So I bring these up, these brochures up to tell people...
	Go to the website that Patrick represents.
	It is called CitizensForFreeSpeech.org.
	There is a store there.
	You can buy these brochures.
	Buy the bundle, I think, 25 at a time.
	You can buy them.
	Share them in your community.
	Be active.
	Don't just pound your desk in frustration at liberties that are being taken away from us.
	Do something about it and start at CitizensForFreeSpeech.org.
	Patrick Wood, thank you so much, my friend.
	We'll talk to you again down the line.
	We'll be right back.
	I'll play the ball next time.

	So they're already going to now mandate indoor mask mandates.
	And in fact, certain sources that cover the White House very well, including Jack Pasebic, who has been wrong about almost nothing with his sources, say that lockdowns are coming to blue states in the next couple weeks.
	Did you know that...
	Five people in Washington, D.C. died from COVID in the last week, and 11 people died from homicide.
	On average, we have 1,800 people that die of heart disease every single day in America.
	Why are we allowing these people to now get us into another state of panic?

	Are you a double masker, Dr. Fauci?
	Look like you are.
	Now, Alicia, I think, probably has a good reason to reject her doctor's explanation that that's the guy that we should all listen to.
	Matt Taibbi, in this report, or his column that I saw at New York Post, said he writes, Which now basically exists to deflect criticism from the Biden administration, rated false the claim that Biden and Harris actually had reservations about the safety of the vaccines.
	But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
	Hmm.
	Matt Taibbi says PolitiFact's excuse is that the then-candidates Kamala Harris and Joe Biden We're raising questions not about the vaccines themselves, but about then-President Donald Trump's rollout of the vaccines.
	But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
	Uh-huh.
	PolitiFact said it's false that Kamala Harris had reservations about the vaccines.
	Matt Taibbi says, wait a minute.
	PolitiFact says it's false.
	What the hell does that mean?
	That it's okay to have reservations, not just about the White House, but about the CDC, FDA, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and every other institution involved with the vaccine effort, if you don't like or trust the president?
	But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.

	We're punching back.
	We're not punching down.
	This is a situation where conservatives are literally on the ropes in the culture battle.

	We've got 25 minutes left.
	I want to ask the obvious question that I've ignored all day today because we're talking about free speech.
	We're talking about freedom of movement, freedom of commerce, freedom to engage in public affairs, which is now illegal in New York unless you have taken the government-mandated experimental drug cocktail.
	I will not call it a vaccine.
	It's not a vaccine.
	It's also not FDA approved.
	The experimental, in the name, FDA drug cocktail.
	That's what this is.
	So we've been talking about all of that today.
	And I have not asked New Yorkers the most obvious of questions.
	What do you think of your governor?
	If you're in New York, anywhere in the state, listening to The Dennis Prager Show, I'm going to give you top priority here in the last 24 minutes of this broadcast.
	877-243-7776.
	Does your governor need to resign?
	Or would you prefer that he hang in and be impeached?
	Andrew Cuomo, it has been determined by the state attorney general in New York, has been guilty of sexual harassment at a criminal level.
	An HR level?
	You're not allowed to sexually harass people in the workplace, period.
	But this isn't just an HR thing.
	Criminal level.
	For years.
	Multiple women, according to this long-running investigation.
	He has denied it.
	He has put forth a ridiculously embarrassing video of him hugging and groping all kinds of people.
	As if to say, see, I don't just hug and grope the people that are accusing me.
	I hug and grope everybody, so therefore it must be okay, right?
	Does Andrew Cuomo need to resign, or should he be impeached?
	How do you want this handled if you're a New Yorker?
	I don't care where in New York.
	You can be in the city, you can be upstate, you can be in a borough.
	I don't care.
	Interested in your thoughts?
	877-243-7776.
	Meantime, we'll go to Greenwood, South Carolina, and talk to John on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Hi, John.
	Greenwood, South Carolina, not North Carolina.
	Oh, did I say North?
	My apologies.
	Yeah, no problem.
	Listen...
	Patrick Wood came across as somebody who would make you ask, did he lose his mind slowly or did it snap all of a sudden?
	It's just the way he spoused statistics and spewed facts almost exactly the way Democrats do.
	Just out of the clear blue, as if he reaches up into his lower intestines and yanks them out and holds them up for the world.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	You're making a broad statement there, John.
	I am making a broad statement because he made broad statements.
	No, no, no.
	Hold on, hold on.
	What I mean is, you're making a broad statement and saying that he was giving inaccurate facts and statistics.
	I would like you to be more specific.
	There's no way of knowing.
	He offered no citation on any of it.
	I mean, he was just pulling it out of the thin air.
	No, no, no, no.
	Yeah, of course he was.
	John, when you...
	John, John, you've got to listen.
	Okay.
	Listen, I've got...
	Hold on, John.
	Let me respond to what you're saying first.
	I just lost a cousin to COVID Saturday.
	I think it's unfair what you just did.
	You just decided that because he didn't have time in a seven-minute interview segment to cite and source all of the things that he said that he must not have such citations and sources.
	I can assure you that he does.
	I wasn't saying that at all.
	I wasn't saying that at all.
	John, you just declared that he reached into his lower intestine, which you can only access by pulling something out of your rear end, to say things that he didn't source.
	That is literally saying that he is making up facts that don't exist or that he cannot cite.
	And I'm telling you that in a seven-minute radio interview, you cannot offer sources and citations.
	You know who can?
	The guy who wrote the brochure that I was talking to you about that Patrick Wood and I at CFFS have promoted, Russell Blalock, on the back page of that brochure is a list of sources and citations for everything he said.
	said.
	I'll be right back.
	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	And then suddenly people wake up.
	I never thought it would get this bad this quickly, but it seems that it has taken the madness.
	Most Americans, if they can finally focus, they just look up and they say, wait a minute.
	You're telling me the people burning down buildings aren't doing anything wrong.
	They're peaceful protesters.
	In other words, your average American who doesn't have a voice the way you do or I do looks around and says, this has gone too far.
	Madness has been unleashed on the land.
	I need to do something for my kids, for my grandkids.
	I thought freedom was a free ride, and I realize now, nope, I'm going to have to pick up my gun and go to the front lines.
	Maybe not literally.
	But it's a similar thing.
	You realize that everything you held near and dear is being threatened directly.
	And when your kids are being threatened, you don't care.
	You're just going to do whatever it takes.
	It's about the kids.
	You know the instinct.
	You know what the Lord teaches us about parenting.
	These parents aren't about to take this.
	They're not about to allow this to happen in their schools.
	They may not have seen it because they worked.
	But, you know, I think the combination of having their kids at home during COVID, I think the left's movement, I think the idea somehow that our country was ill-founded, the 1619 Project, this idea that we're racist because we're white, this is something parents are not going to sit back and allow to be propagated.

	Yeah, a little pro tip here just for the last caller and maybe for future callers.
	Maybe for that guy if he calls another show another day.
	If you're going to accuse a guest of pulling facts and statistics out of their rear end, which is literally what he said, you better be able to refute that statistic with one of your own.
	Sourced and cited, as you demanded that the guest do.
	If you're going to accuse somebody of that, you better tell us what he said that was false, because there was nothing that he said that was false.
	I know.
	I do study these things.
	And I do read sources and citations when they are offered where they can be checked in a reasonable time period, which is in print.
	It's awfully hard to do in a seven-minute radio interview.
	Trust me when I tell you that.
	Check it out for yourself.
	This is what I would seriously recommend, not just that caller, but to anybody.
	Go to the website citizensforfreespeech.org.
	There you can learn a lot more about what Patrick Wood just talked about and what I just talked about.
	There you can also order, if you would like, a bundle of 25 of those brochures on either informed consent as it pertains to vaccines or on the danger that face masks pose to healthy people who are forced to wear them for long periods of time.
	You can order those and distribute them.
	There's no profit motive in this, by the way.
	It's a non-profit organization.
	Nobody's getting paid for this.
	This is for the cost of printing brochures and mailing them.
	But we have distributed them by the thousands in the last 12 months since, you know, the mask mandates became a thing, since, of course, the vaccines were approved, or not approved, but authorized for emergency use.
	And thousands and thousands of people now know things they never knew before, and they're using them to increase the awareness and the education of the people in their own communities, which eventually turns them into activists on behalf of our own rights as well.
	So that's what it's all about, is really defending your rights.

	He didn't get that state wrong.
	Mike, you're on the Dennis Prager Show.
	It's Bob Frank sitting in.
	Go right ahead.
	Oh, yeah.
	You know, I think people have forgotten that we didn't give these extraordinary powers and extra constitutional powers and emergency powers to the Biden administration, which are completely untrustworthy, without a doubt.
	We gave in to President Trump to meet an emergency.
	You know, that was, in order to save the most vulnerable members of our society, you know, elderly people with comorbidities, people that were very susceptible to this COVID biological agent, really.
	And he would have relinquished those emergency powers as soon as possible because that's who he is.
	Now we have an entirely different regime who I believe...
	We'll attempt, of course, to double down on the draconian measures.
	And I think their endgame is to create an entirely new bureaucracy with their mad scientist Fauci in charge, you know.
	And, you know, just kind of keep this going as long as possible.
	They're exploiting it politically.
	Then you have this huge economic, people that are exploiting it economically, these huge corporations.
	There's eight new billionaires in Big Pharma, you know, and I think it's going to be a fight to get them to relinquish these emergency powers.
	The emergency's over and they won't let go, you know, so I look to our elections as the best chance.
	Well, you're exactly right about that last part, too, Mike.
	And I think you're right on pretty much everything through your phone call.
	I think we have evidence of this, too, that they're not going to let this go from Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, Madam Circleback herself.
	She said, you know, that Joe Biden has said we're not going to go back to shutdowns, but he's not going to declare for the record that we're not going to go back to shutdowns.
	And you heard Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins reiterate this this weekend.
	We've been clear we're not going back to the shutdowns of March of 2020.
	We are not going back to the economy shutting down.
	We've made too much progress.
	Too many people are vaccinated.
	There's been too much progress on the economic front.
	But, again, he has said from the beginning that we are going to be guided by the science, guided by our public health experts, and we're not going to take options off the table.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	That we are going to be guided by the science, guided by our public health experts, and we're not going to take options off experts, and we're not going to take options off experts.
	And we're not going to take options off experts, and we're not going to take options off experts, That was not a glitch.
	That was me.
	I was doing that intentionally.
	I wanted you to hear it over and over and over again.
	They're not taking options off the table.
	He will not pledge, for the record, that there will not be another shutdown of our economy in order to fight this fearsome...
	This variant, this Delta variant that is just so unstoppable.
	I mean, it can give you a pretty doggone severe summer cold, I'll tell you what.
	And boy howdy, it might not kill you, but boy, you're going to be running through Kleenex like nobody's business.

	It is not the government's job to make sure that I don't get sick.
	It is not the government's job to make sure that you don't get sick.
	It is the government's job to provide necessary infrastructure in our country for our own individual ability to pick and choose what we do and whether or not it makes us sick.
	This fear porn that they have been just obsessed with since March of last year.
	The caller's right.
	It's over.
	It's got to be over.
	They said 70% and we're at herd immunity.
	We are now at 70% of the American people have gotten at least one jab.
	Add that to the 40 million Americans who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and recovered.
	They have natural immunity to the tune of antibodies and T-cells that will fight off any variant of the COVID-19 that their body previously was exposed to.
	So that means we're well closer to 75-80% of this population having immunity.
	The idea that we're going to go back to mandatory lockdowns, mandatory masking, mandatory vaccine.
	It's just this side of insane, which is why I said to you an hour ago, this isn't about your health.
	This is about social control.
	We'll wrap it up right after this on the Dennis Prater Show.
	It's time for the fearless.
	There's no time for the meek.
	This is America's moment, what's taking place in our schools, the crime in our cities.
	All of these things that we can see unraveling this most exceptional nation.
	It's time for the real believers and the real conservatives to step forward and be absolutely fearless in doing so.
	But I think a lot of Americans have woken up.
	And so we don't even know what is going on on the grassroots level because you can't keep track of everything.
	But I think people are rising up, and they're looking for folks like you and the handful of others in Congress, and they're saying we can no longer do business as usual.
	But, I mean, 10 years ago, you were not thinking like this.
	No, no.
	You nailed it.
	You absolutely nailed it.
	And by the way, I can give you two data points from the last 48 hours.
	I was in southwest Missouri at the Ashcroft Family Farm.
	It was a picnic, outdoor, poured rain right about an hour before the picnic.
	Nobody left.
	They left.
	They gave me a chance.
	They gave former Attorney General Ashcroft a chance to talk about the Bible and America and what we were all going to go do.
	These people were on fire to take back, and I had people come up and say, I never thought I'd run for city council, and I'm going to do it.
	And I had a couple of law enforcement who said, you know, I didn't have any interest in actually being the sheriff, but our sheriff won't enforce the rules.
	I'm going to go do that.
	No, this is different.
	I was in Iowa at an event that was very similar to that.
	People are engaged in their civic life, in their churches, in their community in ways that I have not seen.
	I've been at this now nine, ten years from the time I first lost my mind and ran for Congress when Obama was the president and we had to throw Nancy out the last time.
	Who to believe would have to throw her out of speakership again?
	But here we are, and this is a moment where people are being tested, they're being challenged, and my observation is people are rising to that challenge.

	Universal masking is going to be mandatory for source control and prevention.
	But most amazingly in the new CDC leaked documents that we have here on our program is that they model the vaccine.
	Only being 75 to 85% effective.
	That's their own internal modeling.
	Is that a vaccine or is that a therapeutic?
	Have you ever heard of a vaccine only being 75 or 85% effective?
	That's their own modeling.
	That's their own assumptions.
	And it says here, given higher transmissibility and current vaccine coverage, universal masking is essential to reduce transmission of the dental variant.
	Basically, they're saying, look.
	You want to talk about people who are sowing vaccine hesitancy?
	You want to talk about people that are sowing discord and losing trust in the vaccine?
	It's the Center for Disease Control.
	I just simply cannot get enough of the back-to-back CNN doctors.
	One CNN doctor, actually he's the NIH director on CNN, telling everybody, wear masks, even at home with your kids.
	It's the best way to protect your kids.
	Moms, dads, wear masks at home.
	Then CNN's resident medical analyst, Dr. Osterholm, comes on and says, you know...
	Those masks don't really work.
	They don't work at all, as a matter of fact.
	Everybody has to be wearing N95s for this to have any chance at all.
	Those regular masks don't work for squat.
	I simply love it.
	And this is from the people and the party trying to tell you, follow the science.
	Follow the science.
	The science is settled.
	Well, if the science and the medicine are settled, why are two different doctors saying two very, very different things?
	Explain that.
	Eileen is calling us from Cleveland, Ohio.
	A local call here on the Dennis Prager Show.
	Hi, Eileen.
	Go right ahead.
	Hi.
	My 40-year-old friend who appears to be very healthy and was fully vaccinated did get COVID about three weeks ago.
	She told me she was awfully ill for four days, and this morning she told me she still does not have her taste or smell back.
	And so, in view of that, all I can say...
	Is that the protection of individual rights, yes, I agree.
	It's terribly important.
	But maybe the need to get our society over COVID trumps our individual rights.
	I don't know.
	It's just something I'm thinking about.
	And I like your comments.
	Maybe you could...
	You know what, Eileen, I respect how you phrase that.
	I really do.
	I mean that.
	And I thank you for your phone call.
	You know, you're saying, I don't know.
	Maybe it's best for society to give up your individual rights here.
	I don't know.
	And I can respect that.
	It's confusing for all of us.
	But in my opinion, this country was founded by people who made it very, very clear that there is nothing, nothing that trumps your individual rights.
	This nation was founded and built and a constitution written based upon our individual rights.
	And that the state cannot compel us to give up those individual rights in deference to what they consider to be a greater good or a broader good or anything of the sort.
	That's an extraordinarily important part of this.
	And I get it.
	I know what you mean.
	And I don't want people to get sick either.
	But guess what?
	If you are vulnerable or you feel vulnerable to getting sick from COVID-19 or the Delta variant of COVID-19, it is up to you to protect yourself and it is up to you to go to places where you feel safe or don't go to places where you don't feel safe.
	It's not up to everybody else around you to give up their individual rights to protect you.
	That's just not how this works.
	Thank you so much for that call.
	Thanks to everybody for the great calls today.
	Thanks to our crew as well, to Sean running the show, Jennifer on the phones, Christian running our video as well.
	Thanks to Dennis for having me.
	By the way, my apologies to New York callers.
	I did not get to your Andrew Cuomo calls like I wanted.
	We just sort of ran out of time.
	And that's the way it goes sometimes in live radio.
	Perhaps the next time I'm fortunate enough to sit in for Dennis, we can talk then.
	Until then, thank you so much.
	Have a great day.
	Be well, be safe, and remember, be free.
