| Hi, everybody. | |
| Dennis Prager. | |
| Yeah, indeed. | |
| The Pain-Free Studio travels with me. | |
| It's an amazing thing. | |
| Actually, it is true. | |
| Relief Factor does travel with me. | |
| Hi, everybody. | |
| Hello from Chicago. | |
| There's a new meaning to the word humid, but it's not a new meaning. | |
| It's if you've left the West Coast. | |
| West Coast of the United States is one of the only places in the world that does not have excessive humidity. | |
| Great deal of humidity. | |
| If California had normal weather, given what the left has done to California, the quality of life being so profoundly affected negatively, there would be a massive exodus. | |
| Weather keeps more people in California than anything else. | |
| A lot of luck. | |
| A lot of luck the left has in that regard. | |
| Okay. | |
| I welcome you to the show. | |
| I want to remind you, I'm here for Cigar Night, which I believe is sold out, but any of you anywhere in the world can watch it live-streamed with my colleagues here at the station, and Dan Proft and Sean Thompson. | |
| So it's a terrific evening. | |
| Just go to SalemNow.com. | |
| You can watch the event on your mobile device, computer, smart TV, anything else. | |
| And it's at SalemNow.com, $14.99, all fees included. | |
| And now I welcome you to the program. | |
| Now, if this call is for real, I want to take it. | |
| I say if it's for real because it's pretty dramatic if it's true. | |
| And I don't usually begin an hour with a call, but I will. | |
| Huma in Spartanburg, South Carolina. | |
| Hello. | |
| Hello, Dennis. | |
| Can you hear me? | |
| Very clearly. | |
| Okay, Dennis. | |
| I can express I'm so honored and grateful to speak to you. | |
| You are my light in the darkness and you have changed my life completely. | |
| I wanted to tell you my story a little bit because I was born and raised as a Muslim. | |
| I was living in Pakistan. | |
| I was born there. | |
| And I moved to France when I was 11 years old with my family. | |
| And over there, I nearly turned as an atheist and socialist. | |
| And, you know, France being France, I almost turned as a French. | |
| So what made me love America and being conservative and get to know you is when my husband, when I got married, my husband opened his own company in France and we found out how it was difficult because the government was taking out all our money. | |
| I started to be interested in conservative media, and I found out about you and you. | |
| And you have also made me come closer to God because I've been reading all your books, and my life has just changed. | |
| I wanted to thank you for doing all that you do, and I wanted to share my story with you. | |
| And now I've been in the United States for a year and a half. | |
| Now I've moved here. | |
| I've made my dream come true. | |
| Well, that's the reason that I do everything I do, is to touch people like you. | |
| I want to tell you something I say to anybody who says I've changed their life, that you are 50% responsible. | |
| There are people who hear everything I say or read everything I write, and there is no effect. | |
| So please take half the credit. | |
| Thank you. | |
| You know, it's not even a compliment. | |
| It's just a fact. | |
| There's something in you that wants to follow truth and reason and goodness, and that's all you need to do. | |
| Yes, I've always tried to follow, tried to be free, as free as I could, because living in a Muslim country in Pakistan is not easy to be free. | |
| It's not a value over there, and in France it's not a value. | |
| I always strive to be free. | |
| That's something that made me want to come to the U.S. as well, but it's sad to see what's happening right now, but I still think that it's the best hope we have. | |
| Well, that's why I wrote the last best hope. | |
| Well, you made my day, and I'm always torn on advocating that people read, for example, my books, The Rational Bible. | |
| Because every author wants you to read their book, so why would this be any different? | |
| Right? | |
| Makes perfect sense. | |
| People are cynical a little bit. | |
| But it will change your life. | |
| That's right. | |
| And a life without God can be, certainly, it can be a moral life. | |
| There are moral atheists and agnostics and secularists. | |
| But ultimately... | |
| The roots of morality in the West are biblical, and when the roots are removed, the trees will wither. | |
| So it's called the Rational Bible. | |
| I hope we meet one day, Huma. | |
| Look at that. | |
| She should write her autobiography from Pakistan to France to South Carolina. | |
| France is sort of the opposite of Pakistan. | |
| France doesn't believe in freedom much, although some do. | |
| There were more demonstrations in France against the lockdown than in the United States. | |
| They did, after all, publish the Charlie Hebdo. | |
| Charlie Hebdo did publish the Mohammed cartoons. | |
| No American media did. | |
| But in general, they have not valued freedom since the French Revolution. | |
| That's why they gave America the Statue of Liberty. | |
| They didn't keep it for themselves. | |
| I would like you to hear a truly moral idiot, Stephen Colbert. | |
| When the term moral idiot was devised, I don't know if he was born yet, but if the term had not been devised, His birth would have or his adulthood would have seen the need for the term. | |
| So listen to him a couple of nights ago. | |
| So. | |
| There you go. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Why fight terrorists abroad when we have terrorists at home in our capital? | |
| Why should our soldiers be fighting radicals in a civil war in Afghanistan? | |
| We've got our own on Capitol Hill. | |
| It is an interesting question to me, to which I have no answers. | |
| Does he believe what he said? | |
| My general thinking is that they have convinced them that men give birth. | |
| That there was an insurrection on January 6th. | |
| I mean, the term has been used so often. | |
| It was jolting in the beginning because it was such a lie. | |
| It was such an overstated thing about basically a two-bit riot. | |
| People posing in Nancy Pelosi's chair. | |
| I mean, we're not talking about the attempt to overthrow the American government, which was done in the state of Washington, the state of Oregon. | |
| I mean, real deal. | |
| The actual usurpation of government authority by left-wing terrorists. | |
| That is a fact. | |
| Anyway, this is what late night comedy, which was once there to unite Americans and give them some joy at the end of a difficult day. | |
| That's what has happened to it. | |
| Stephen Colbert is a perfect example. | |
| Nothing is not politicized. | |
| Nothing. | |
| Literally nothing, right? | |
| And I want you to hear, to uplift you, when we come back, I will put her on. | |
| A nurse testifying, where did she testify? | |
| The San Diego Board of Supervisors? | |
| If you're a healthcare worker in San Diego and you don't get vaccinated, you get fired. | |
| So a nurse, an articulate nurse. | |
| spoke out against that. | |
| People are not free to do what they want with their own bodies. | |
| This was a line used to defend abortion. | |
| It was never meant seriously. | |
| No left-wing lines are meant seriously. |
