	friends, and welcome to the
	Immediately going to my guest who needs no introduction, Larry Elder, who, God willing, and I don't use that term in any cute way, and I don't know when God intervenes in life.
	Having said both of those, I will still repeat, God willing, he will be the governor of California.
	First of all, let me just say that I had the honor of speaking at a major fundraiser for Larry Elder last night, and he was so magnificent and so captivating of the audience.
	The people looked at him with hope.
	I mean, he's really a source of hope at this time.
	It's the darkest time in America since the Civil War, and we need that hope.
	So, Larry, you have a lot on your shoulders, D.C.
	Do you feel it?
	I do feel it, Dennis.
	As I said, I think, last night, I think, unknowingly, I've been preparing for this all my life.
	I've been talking about these issues of crime and of the rise in homelessness and the outrageous cost of living here in California and, you know, what to do to better manage the water supply, what to do to better manage fires.
	So, without knowing it, by having guests after guests after guests talking about these kinds of things and thinking about them, I've been preparing for this all my life.
	As for all of the negativity that's come forth every day at something new, I steeled myself for that.
	I knew that when you run and when you threaten the established order, they're going to go absolutely bonkers.
	And in this case, one of the things I'm really concerned about, Dennis, and I think you and I talked about this last night, is that when I become governor, and should, God forbid, something happen to Dianne Feinstein, and my understanding is she's more challenged mentally than even Joe Biden, because no one's seen her in I don't know how long, I would have the opportunity to replace her, and that would change the balance in the Senate.
	And, of course, they are absolutely crazy insane over that because the balance right now is 50-50, and this would be a dramatic shift in power for the Republicans.
	And when I become governor, I most certainly would replace her with a Republican senator.
	So they're concerned about that in addition to the other things.
	If California, a blue state, could elect a common sense conservative like Larry Elder, that means other states could too.
	I assume you're familiar, but I only learned about it last night, that a former major figure in the Democratic Party in California, a Hispanic woman, has endorsed you?
	That's right.
	A former state senator and former Senate Majority Leader for the Democrats, Gloria Romero, has endorsed me.
	And I think it's because of pretty much two things.
	I support choice and public education.
	I call them government education, government schools.
	So the money would follow the child rather than the other way around.
	There's going to be a ballot initiative for educational savings accounts, so the $15,000 we're spending per student would go into an account that the parent wouldn't control, so that the parent could put a child in a religious school, in a charter school, or a private school, or even use the money for homeschooling.
	That is something that the Hispanic community desperately wants, because 80% of the kids educated in our government schools are black and brown, and they're getting the worst education.
	Our scores are near the bottom of all 50 states.
	Seventy-five percent of black boys cannot read at state levels of proficiency.
	Half of third graders cannot.
	And a disproportionately high percentage of these students are Hispanic students.
	And they're aware they're getting the worst teachers, the worst principals, the worst administrators.
	They're not going in the west side.
	They're not going into the valley.
	They're going into south-central areas where they're heavily Hispanic.
	The other reason, I believe, is because of crime.
	Crime has gone up.
	The violent crime up is up in San Francisco, it's up in Oakland, it's up here in LA, it's up in San Diego.
	And by violent crime, I'm talking, of course, about shootings and homicides, up about 40%.
	And the people who are disproportionately victimized by that are black and brown people.
	I saw a poll recently that said 81% of black people want the same manpower of the police, or they want it higher.
	So this whole business about defund the police is completely inconsistent with how regular people feel.
	No, it's a white left-wing construct.
	That's the irony of all of this.
	People who live in gated communities want to defund the police.
	So I'm curious, tactically, are you, for example, is your campaign taking out ads on Spanish media with this woman speaking on your behalf?
	We are, and they should be rolling out pretty soon.
	And I've cut an ad where I speak in my halting Spanish.
	That's going to be going out pretty soon, too.
	And the other thing, though, Dennis, is the rise of cost of living.
	You know, when people are leaving California, I'm talking about middle-class people, people making between $50,000 and $100,000, the number one reason they cite for leaving is the price of a home.
	And the price of a home in California just hit average price $800,000.
	That's 150% above the national average.
	One of my frequent guests over the years, Dennis, has been a guy named Leo Haney, and he's an econ professor.
	From UCLA writes a lot about real estate.
	And he says because of rules and regulations like CEQA, the California Environmental Quality Act, the average price of a home in California is literally 50% higher than it otherwise would be.
	Now, homes in California have always been higher than homes outside of California because of our seismic concerns.
	But they've only been around 30% higher.
	Now they are 150% higher, again, because of the rules and regulations pushed by these environmental extremists that have had a stranglehold over Sacramento.
	I don't see why you would not make a huge inroad into the Hispanic community.
	Especially, I think this woman is the tip of an iceberg.
	I think so.
	And if you look at the polls, well over 50% of Hispanics support the recall.
	It's the only so-called minority group, I'm talking about blacks and Asian Americans, that do.
	By the way, also the majority of, we call them non-party preferences or decline to state or independents, the majority of independents also are supporting the recall.
	So, you know, it seems to me that a lot of Hispanics are beginning to resent being taken for granted.
	And by the way, an overwhelming percentage of Hispanics voted for Gavin Newsom just two years earlier.
	Now the majority of them want him recalled.
	So I'm reading here that he's looking, Gavin Newsom is looking to Hollywood to help bail him out.
	Right.
	There was a big article in the Hollywood Reporter that he sent out an SOS, a May Day, to Hollywood, and some of these bigwigs are now putting money into his coffers.
	It's Hollywood, it's big tech, it's the teachers' union, it's the public sector unions, and so far, I've read that he's raised about $50 million.
	That's a margin of 9 to 1, the amount of money he's raised versus the amount of money the recall side has raised.
	So he'll dramatically outspend me.
	But Proposition 16 was dramatically outspent.
	That's a proposition that would have reintroduced race in matters of hiring and public contracting and admissions into colleges and universities.
	The side that wanted to do that outspent the other side 20 to 1. And the side that says, we want this to be a colorblind society.
	We don't want to use race.
	As a factor in any of these areas, won.
	So, you know, the money only goes so far.
	It's just 24 hours in a day, and ad after ad after ad after a while begins to lose some of its effectiveness, and I think that might very well happen here.
	I don't know the answer to this, and I don't know if you do, but I'm curious what you think.
	The Los Angeles Times, which has no precision in my mind, but nevertheless it exists, when it has a columnist say that you are the black face of white supremacy, an idea that is as convoluted as gravity doesn't work, do you think that helps, hurts, or is not even heard?
	Well, in the case of the Los Angeles Times, I actually think it helps, because they've written a series of articles, each one more scathing than the one before.
	The one you're referring to, where I was called the blackface of white supremacy, was preceded by another one that all but called me a black David Duke.
	And they said that I twist numbers in order to advance my agenda, but they never give any specific example of what numbers I twist.
	I suspect they're upset about my saying things like 70% of black children enter the world without a father married to the mother.
	That's a fact.
	It's also a fact that...
	Barack Obama said a kid raised without a father is five times more likely to be poor and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of school, and 20 times more likely to end up in jail.
	Now, that number of blacks entering the world without a father married to the mother was 25 percent in 1965 when Lyndon Johnson launched what I consider to be an ill-fated war on poverty.
	And it seems to me that rather than attack me for raising these numbers, you ought to figure out what's going on and what we can do to deal with this.
	It's a fact that of the homicides here in America, half of them are black victims, almost all killed by other black people.
	It is a fact that the number one cause of preventable death for young black men is homicide, as opposed to the number one cause of preventable death for young white men, accidents like car accidents or drownings.
	It's a fact that a young black man is eight times more likely to be a victim of a homicide compared to a young white man.
	Now, instead of attacking Larry Elder for, quote, What these facts mean and how we can improve this.
	But that's what they want to do.
	And when I say these kinds of things, this makes me the, quote, black face of white supremacy.
	I mean, it seems to me anybody, no matter whether you like me or not, should be disturbed by these facts.
	And we ought to be talking about what we can do to make things better.
	Electelder.com, correct?
	Correct.
	All right, hold on.
	This is Albert Moeller for townhall.com.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times has put forward a horrifyingly honest argument about abortion.
	The headline it ran was this.
	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.
	Their focus was a law passed in 2017 by the legislature in Ohio, a law that seeks to prevent abortion on the grounds that the unborn baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times is saying that it is wrong to try to protect unborn babies that are diagnosed with Down syndrome by such a law.
	Why is it wrong?
	Because, says the editorial board, it interferes with what is a greater good than human dignity in the womb.
	And that means a woman's absolute autonomy.
	And what the paper claims is her constitutional right to destroy the life within her.
	Like I said, this editorial is honest.
	It's also horrifying.
	I'm Albert Mohler.
	Publicpolicy.pepperdine.edu Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berkett.
	This is really crucially important.
	The lessons of the last 20 years is that we are peerless.
	Our military, when it comes to the application of military force at the tactical or even operational level...
	It has no match in the world, especially Operation Anaconda.
	The October 2001 operation, when we went in there with just a couple of hundred CIA paramilitaries and guys from Delta and from Bragg, and we leveraged 21,000 members of the Northern Alliance, and we took down the Taliban government, that was textbook.
	Nobody, not even Julius Caesar, not Napoleon could do it better.
	But since then, at the strategic level, Kurt, it's been a disaster.
	It's been an utter disaster, and frankly, I'm worried about the tactical level.
	I'm worried that whether or not we still maintain the tactical capabilities that we need for high-intensity combat operations against peer-level competitors like the Chinese.
	Especially, and I write about this in my Monday Town Hall column, Dr. Gorka, especially when you look at the Navy.
	For nearly 70 years, it has glided on the legacy of...
	The military triumphs in the Pacific Theater over the Japanese.
	And we relied on, we consoled ourselves, saying, well, you know, the Chinese technology is getting better.
	They're getting more and more ships.
	But we have a naval tradition.
	You know what?
	So did the Carthaginians.
	Okay?
	The Romans had no navy until they found...
	A Carthaginian warship that run aground, they copied it, they trained, and they beat the hell out of Carthage.
	You can find Roman ruins.
	Can't find any Carthaginian ruins.

	Essentially, that's inflation.
	Thank you.
	Too many dollars chasing too few goods.
	This from Reuters.
	Tyson Foods Incorporated cannot increase prices for chicken and prepare foods fast enough to keep pace with rising costs for raw materials like grain due to Bidenflation.
	Bidenflation.
	Say it with me.
	Tyson increased their prices.
	To their restaurant customers.
	And you're thinking like, okay, so what?
	I don't care if they increase it to their restaurant customers.
	That's for people that are going out.
	We're not going out to eat anymore.
	It's not going to affect us.
	Aha!
	Aha!
	Yes, it will.
	As of September 5th, the retail prices are going to rise significantly for the consumers.
	Everybody.
	Larry Elder, who is one of the last best hopes of this country at this time, is on with me.
	So we were talking about the accusations made against you in the Los Angeles Times, among other places, and I want to talk about the among other places, but stay with the LA Times for a moment.
	So you have been attacked for misogyny.
	By the way, folks, I know many of you know this.
	Not all of you know this.
	I have been a close friend of Larry for about 30 years.
	I think I know Larry pretty well.
	I have never been fooled in my life by a person's character.
	I am proud to say that, and I am lucky to say that.
	No one in my personal life has ever disappointed me.
	That's a big thing to say.
	I have pretty good antennae.
	This is a terrific human being.
	Courageous, noble, truth-telling, all the good things.
	We're blessed to have him as a candidate.
	You don't even have to react, Larry, because you're probably blushing under your white superiority face.
	So I looked this up about your misogyny.
	Where you are quoted as saying that women do not have something to the effect, do not have the same grasp on national and international data and facts as men do.
	And I looked it up.
	It was an article you wrote 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 2000. 20 years ago.
	Yeah.
	And all you did was cite various academic statistics on this fact.
	men and women were tested and found that men and women did not know as much about certain events in the world and current events that men did.
	So all of these institutions are presumably misogynist as well.
	Well that's right.
	I was quoting a study that was done by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School of Journalism, and they asked men and women 25 questions about politics.
	And men knew more than women did in 15 of the questions.
	They knew the same in nine.
	And women knew more than the men did in one.
	Women were more concerned about what are called she issues, social security, health care, education.
	And men were more concerned about taxes, the economy, and foreign policy.
	As to why women knew less than men did in those 15 categories, I quoted a professor who's still there.
	She's left wing.
	And she said the reason for this is that women predominantly get their news from local news.
	And, quote, watching local news makes you dumber, close quote.
	She said that.
	I didn't.
	And that has gotten me accused of thinking that women are dumber than men.
	I've never said any such thing.
	Furthermore, Dennis, I've written probably since April of 1998, when I began my syndicated column, approximately 1,100 columns.
	And I've also written that young men make less money than young women do in virtually every city.
	And I'm comparing men to men, not just apples to apples, not job to job, just young men make less money than young women and have done so for the last several years.
	That was not quoted.
	I also said there are more women in college today than men.
	That was not quoted.
	I also said the percentage of women entering medical school and entering law school is now equal to the percentage of men entering medical school and law school.
	That was not quoted.
	So out of all the articles I've ever written, that was selected, and it was, of course, interpreted that Larry thinks women are dumber than men.
	I've never even remotely suggested such a thing.
	The IQ of the average man is 100. The IQ of the average woman is 100. Well, that's one advantage that Gavin Newsom has over you because he's never written anything.
	Right.
	He's never written anything, never had to defend anything the way you and I have done every day for decades.
	And again, I probably, most of my show was four hours long, Dennis.
	When you and I were at the same station, I had a four hour long show.
	So I probably have done about 27,000 hours of talk radio in the last 30 years.
	Again, 1,100 columns in the last, since April of 1998. And this is the best they can do?
	Yeah, that's right.
	This is the best they can do.
	That plus, I also looked up, I've done a lot of research on your candidacy.
	The Guerrero, I don't remember her first name at the LA Times, who said that you twist facts with regard to blacks and crime.
	So it was underlined, it was a URL. And everybody seeing that on the internet thinks, oh, this, Gene Guerrero, that, oh, this backs up my claim that Larry Elder twists facts.
	So I clicked on it.
	All it was was your listing of the facts.
	There wasn't even a hint that you twisted any.
	Again, this is typical of the kind of treatment I've gotten from the LA Times over my entire career.
	By the way, that's why I'm asking people to go to electelder.com and throw something in the tip jar, because...
	Gavin Newsom has raised around $50 million so far from the usual suspects, the Teachers Union, the Public Sectors Union, Big Tech, and Hollywood.
	And I'm going to be outspent probably by a factor of 9 to 1. But Dennis, the LA Times has never reviewed any of my books.
	I have published about a half a dozen books, including collections of my columns.
	Two of my books made the LA Times bestseller list, and they've never reviewed any of my books.
	You know my documentary that came out last year on June 10th called Uncle Tom and Oral History of the Black Conservative.
	It grows more money than all of the five that were nominated for Best Documentary last time for the Oscars combined.
	It had a higher IMDB rating, International Movie Database rating, than any of the ones that was nominated.
	And the LA Times did not write one word about it.
	As for my very first book, the New York Times bestseller, called The Ten Things You Can't Say in America, Dennis, I was invited on the Jay Leno show to talk about it.
	LA Times couldn't have cared less.
	So they've done this my entire career.
	Well, of course they do that.
	Look, you're the lowest of the rung.
	Every conservative is ignored or defamed, but a black conservative is considered...
	The ultimate threat to the hegemony of the left-wing party.
	You mentioned last night, which I had known, as I mentioned in speaking before you did, and talking about you, that I was in Chicago last week, and when your name was mentioned, the place erupted in applause.
	The people were crazed hearing your name.
	That's Chicago.
	This is a national, and you noted, international event you're running.
	Well, that's right.
	And at the risk of sounding less than humble, this is going to be a bigger earthquake than even Donald Trump winning the election in 2016, because at least half the country is independent-slash-conservative.
	When in California, Democrats outnumber Republicans by a factor of 2 to 1, almost 2.5 to 1. Independents outnumber Republicans.
	So this would be a bigger deal for...
	For me to win in California a blue state than for Donald Trump to have won the presidency in 2016. Obviously, the presidency is a bigger, more important office, but California is the biggest state, 40 million people.
	It's the fifth largest economy.
	This would be a big, big deal, and that's why they're so scared.
	Electelder.com, folks.
	Give what you can.
	One final quickie.
	We only have a few seconds, as you well know, from radio.
	I have a suspicion.
	That you have been touched by people's reactions to you during this campaign.
	I have been, Dennis.
	People have come up to me crying, telling me that I've given them hope.
	I was thinking about leaving California.
	Now I'm not going to.
	People have come up to me and told me, I've left California.
	Now I may come back.
	People are hurting, Dennis.
	They're hurting because of the crime.
	Hurting because of the way the state was shut down.
	A third of all small businesses gone forever.
	All right, all I can say, I've got to let go, Larry.
	God bless you.
	you really are a hope for all of us.

	My dear friend in Omaha just texted me that he, again in Nebraska, that he's donated $1,000.
	Everything that's said about Larry is all hate.
	It's all lies and hate.
	There are few people in the world I know as well as I know Larry.
	I'm in a unique position to talk to you about him.
	We've been close for 30 years.
	The joy that his running brings me is when we spoke last night before the event, a big fundraiser in L.A., he said, He said something to the effect that I'm sure I could share it,
	that it must bring me great joy because I brought him to a radio and was instrumental in his running.
	And I said, Larry, you cannot imagine the joy it brings me.
	So I'm just sharing.
	An emotional part of me that's involved in his candidacy.
	There's an emotional part in general because I'm so bloody worried about my country.
	Every generation has to battle for liberty.
	We're losing the battle.
	The left is winning.
	It doesn't mean it won.
	It just means it's winning.
	The bad are often winning in wars.
	And usually they have a head start.
	So people are caught unaware.
	You didn't expect sending your child to school would produce a bad human being, an unthinking, uncritical fool who's also mean.
	But that's the purpose of most teaching in our elementary schools and high schools, is to produce an unhappy, bitter...
	Angry human being.
	Your child will not be made better by school.
	There are virtually no schools that do that.
	Some do.
	Virtually none.
	But the chance that your child will be made worse, the chances are quite high.
	That is, the teachers' unions are evil.
	They have no interest in teaching or in students.
	They're left-wing organizations that speak in the name of students.
	That's all they are.
	They're radical left organizations.
	They're Bolsheviks, to use the Russian term.
	How did the teaching profession get so low, morally low, intellectually low?
	Because the left took it over.
	Same is happening in medicine.
	Same is happening in corporate America.
	I just learned right now about Verizon, which I ask you to abandon.
	City Journal, Verizon has launched an internal program teaching that the United States is a fundamentally racist nation and encouraging employees to support a variety of left-wing causes.
	According to documents that I have obtained, the I being the great Christopher Ruffo from a whistleblower, Verizon launched the Race and Social Justice Initiative last year and has created an extensive race re-education program based on the core tenets of critical race theory, including systemic racism, white fragility, and intersectionality.
	In the flagship Conscious Inclusion and Anti-Racism Training Module, Verizon diversity trainers instruct employees to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, and according to their position on the privilege hierarchy, Embark on a lifelong anti-racism journey.
	Employees are asked to list their race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, religion, education, profession, and sexual orientation on an official company worksheet.
	Then consider their status according to the theory of intersectionality, a core component of critical race theory that reduces individuals to a network of identity categories, which determine whether they are an oppressor or oppressed.
	This is Verizon.
	soon.
	Thank you.
	So, I don't know if T-Mobile and AT&T are as viciously anti-American, but I do know Verizon is, and you are welcome to tell them to go to hell.
	I know of no other answer to what they're doing to our country.
	One answer I do have is a relief factor for your pain.
	It is a phenomenal product.
	It is simply phenomenal.
	That's why you hear so often it's ads, because it is so incredibly successful.
	People are made better thanks to Relief Factor.
	It is safe.
	You can take it as long as you like, and they have a very honest approach.
	If it doesn't work within three weeks, it probably won't work.
	So they have a special price for a three-week tryout.
	$19.95 plus shipping.

	On top of the collapse of the commitment to free enterprise represented by the Democratic Party's full embrace of socialism and the passage of a full-on socialist budget by Bernie Sanders in the Senate, after already $4 trillion of spending over two years, it will mean $8 trillion of printed money.

	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times has put forward a horrifyingly honest argument about abortion.
	The headline it ran was this.
	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.
	Their focus was a law passed in 2017 by the legislature in Ohio, a law that seeks to prevent abortion on the grounds that the unborn baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times is saying that it is wrong to try to protect unborn babies that are diagnosed with Down syndrome by such a law.
	Why is it wrong?
	Because, says the editorial board, it interferes with what is a greater good than human dignity in the womb.
	And that means...

	Afghanistan is going to see so much terror and so much slaughter and so much torture and so much rape.
	And I said so The entire time I was completely opposed to withdrawing from Afghanistan, I was right.
	It brings me no solace or comfort to say I was right.
	Because I think rationally, I almost never allow emotion to dominate my thinking.
	The argument that we're there 20 years, it's time to leave, is 100% emotional argument.
	There's not an intellectual scintilla of rationality in that argument.
	The answer to the question is, so what?
	The question is not how long we are there.
	The question is, is it good that we are there?
	Now, you see, it isn't good when we leave.
	I knew the Taliban would take over.
	Did you not?
	And I'm speaking to fellow conservatives.
	I think at least half the conservatives of the country wanted to leave.
	We're not there to do nation-building.
	The hell with nation-building.
	That's not why we were there.
	We were there to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a terror state.
	And the price was relatively minimal.
	25 to 3,500 soldiers, almost none of whom get killed.
	They did at one point, but they haven't for years.
	There isn't a single shocking thing except the way Biden, the most incompetent, awful, bad, Crook to be President of the United States, not in my lifetime, in American history.

	He stands for nothing except Joe Biden.
	He was elected sitting in a basement.
	He was elected because the press convinced people, either that or cheating, or both, convinced people that Donald Trump is Satan.

	Daily Mail tells a story today about ISIS-K. It's a branch of ISIS. It stands for Khorasan, a historic region covering Pakistan and Afghanistan and parts of Central Asia.
	This is from 2017, just reported now in Daily Mail.
	Dressed in white coats and carrying stethoscopes, three young men walked unchallenged into Kabul's 400-bed Sardar Mohammed Daoud Khan Hospital and made their way to the upper floors.
	Then outside the building, situated opposite the heavily fortified U.S. Embassy, there was a loud bang.
	The noise from the detonating suicide vest of a comrade acted as a signal for the trio to pull a selection of hand grenades and AK-47 assault rifles from beneath their medical clothing.
	Before opening fire, by the time the chaos had died down, several hours later, more than 30 doctors and patients had been murdered and roughly 50 more wounded.
	How's that?
	That's who's going to take over Afghanistan.
	And you think they'll keep it in Afghanistan?
	And all because people were tired of being there 20 years?
	Are you tired of being in Korea 50 years?
	Further casualties included the three attackers who were shot by Afghan special forces.
	Their brazen and pitiless attack, which unfolded in broad daylight one afternoon in March 2017, was carried out in the name of ISIS-K, a local branch of the notorious global terror network.
	Founded in 2015, its followers aim to establish an Islamic caliphate across Khorasan, that area in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
	The terror group is now such a threat that fear of an attack by ISIS-K is being used to justify the U.S.'s refusal to delay its withdrawal from Kabul airport after the August 31st deadline set by Joe Biden.
	In a statement released Tuesday night, the U.S. president claimed, Every day we're on the ground is another day we know that ISIS-K is seeking to target the airport and attack both U.S. and allied forces and innocent civilians.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	May this year, ISIS-K killed at least 68 Afghans and injured another 165 when they detonated three car bombs outside the Saeed al-Shada school for girls in Kabul.
	Girls should not be in school.
	Where are the feminist groups on the withdrawal from Afghanistan?
	I'll tell you where they are.
	They're in cricket's land, just as they are about girl sports.

	And at a certain point, that's on me.
	Of course, it's the opposite of the truth.
	It's a totalitarian worldview that inverts reality for its own power.
	Like, that's just what it is.
	And if I continue to be surprised by it, then I'm the moron.
	The question is, what do you do about it?
	And I'm not sure I know the answer.
	I mean, I'm not in charge of anything.
	I'm just a talk show host, so my job is just to, like, say it out loud.

	The lessons of the last 20 years is that we are...
	Our military, when it comes to the application of military force at the tactical or even operational level, has no match in the world, especially Operation Anaconda.
	The October 2001 operation, when we went in there with just a couple of hundred CIA paramilitaries and guys from Delta and from Bragg, and we leveraged 21,000 members of the Northern Alliance, and we took down the Taliban government, that was textbook.
	Nobody, not even...
	And Julius Caesar, not Napoleon, could do it better.
	But since then, at the strategic level, Kurt, it's been a disaster.
	It's been an utter disaster, and frankly, I'm worried about the tactical level.
	I'm worried that whether or not we still maintain the tactical capabilities that we need for high-intensity combat operations against peer-level competitors like the Chinese.
	Especially, and I write about this in my Monday Town Hall column, Dr. Gorka, especially...
	When you look at the Navy, for nearly 70 years, it has glided on the legacy of the military triumphs in the Pacific Theater over the Japanese.
	And we relied on, we consoled ourselves, saying, well, you know, the Chinese technology is getting better, they're getting more and more ships, but we have a naval tradition.

	And just a couple of days ago, the teachers union, the largest funder of his campaign, gave him an additional $1.8 million.
	It is estimated he's going to raise a minimum of $50 million, maybe as much as $75 million to defeat me.
	You were praising my courage.
	Let me just say something about that.
	I get that a lot, and I have to push back because I'm not storming the beaches of Normandy.
	Unlike my father, I was never a Marine.
	Unlike my older brother, I was never a member of the Navy.
	Like my little brother, I was never a member of the Army.
	I did not serve.
	and about all the things I've ever done in my life, that's probably the thing that I regret the most, that I didn't give back a few years to my country.
	So this is a small sacrifice.
	I'm losing a little bit of money, well, actually a lot of money compared to my net worth.
	And, of course, nobody's lived a pure life, and anything and everything I've ever done will be exposed and will be twisted, and I know that I'll be assuming that, but this is a small...
	All right, that's nonsense, and I declare it nonsense every time I hear it, There's no prerecorded material.

	The amount in America that is run by lawyers fearing for lawsuits and fines is part of the degradation of American life in my lifetime.
	And most lawyers would agree with that, and they would say they have no choice.
	But it remains a fact.
	So that little stupid announcement is an example of what I think is wrong in the country when you say lawyers determine.
	It's just like, say, let doctors determine.
	As soon as experts, quote-unquote, experts determine, you know stupidity will reign.
	It's interesting, though, we choose which experts to listen to, whether it's the lawyer expert or the doctor expert.
	How about the military experts?
	The military warned against the Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan.
	Now, for those of you who say follow the science, why don't you say follow the military?
	If we follow the scientific experts, why don't we follow the military experts?
	So it's all a gigantic lie.
	People lie to themselves with such regularity that they don't even realize they're doing it.
	You don't believe in followings of the science.
	Those who say it on the left, they believe in following scientists with whom they agree.
	That's it.
	They don't follow science.
	It's not science that you're not born male or female.
	It's not science.
	It's crap.

	All right.
	Somebody, and I'm not the only one, thank God, but somebody has to keep saying things that are true and decent and right.
	That's what I'm committed to.
	And that's why you listen to me.
	I don't know any other reason why you would.
	Unless you're a very open-minded person who differs with me, in which case I salute you for listening.
	There are such people.
	You hear them call regularly, and I take their calls.
	The other day I had somebody disagree with me, and when I said hello to them, they said, I knew you'd take my call because I disagree with you.
	I said, that's a very nice compliment.
	That's correct.
	Any New York Times columnists ever deal with people who differ with them?
	Never.

	So, let's see, 800,000 members of the service members in the United States, members of the military, 800,000 are not vaccinated.
	And the military is telling them you have to.
	The vast majority of these people are young people whose risk of dying from COVID is minuscule, is just minuscule.
	They have a greater risk, probably, of dying in a military accident.
	Why are we vaccinating them?
	The vaccine apparently lasts for about a half a year and then starts to weaken.
	It's not a condemnation of the vaccine.
	But we still don't know.
	We have no idea the long-term effects of the vaccine.
	No idea whatsoever.
	The FDA corrupted itself in giving it approval.
	The FDA never approves things without long-term studies.
	This is the exception because the FDA is as crooked as the NIH and the CDC. They're all crooked.

	Nothing.
	That doesn't mean everything he says is false.
	I just don't believe him.
	I have to verify it on my own.

	What if 800,000 quit?

	What would happen?
	That would be a very interesting moment in American history.

	If you voted for him, shame on you.
	Shame on you.
	Okay?
	You get what you voted for.
	And if you act surprised, you deliberately deceived yourself about the man.
	The man was a crook all his life.
	Enriched all of his family.
	He's as corrupt as the day is long.
	He stands for nothing.
	He has no regard for this country.
	He's telling private enterprise, don't let people in if they haven't been vaccinated.
	And the number of cowards in this country who will listen to him is very large.
	But some won't.
	And if you love liberty, whether you're vaccinated or not, don't patronize any place that checks on you.
	Let them die of lack of patronage.
	This is the battle for liberty in this country, ladies and gentlemen.
	So it turns out, it is a lie, isn't it?
	A woman can do what she wants with her own body.
	Really?
	What if she doesn't want to take a vaccination with her own body?
	Oh, no, we didn't really mean she could do what she wants with her own body.
	We meant she could do whatever she wants with a baby's body.
	Oh, okay.
	Now we understand.
	War veteran has blasted the Pentagon's newly announced vaccine mandate as tyrannical and deeply wrong.
	Daily Mail.
	Rob Smith, 37, told DailyMail.com, As someone who raised my right hand, wore the uniform and served for five years, including combat duty in Iraq, I think a vaccine mandate for soldiers is deeply wrong in an invasion on the civil liberties of Americans.

	Well, if they don't, they're on the left.
	Nobody on the left values freedom.
	If you value freedom, you're either a liberal or a conservative.
	By definition, you're not a leftist.

	Yes.

	Tell young people you have to take a vaccine that we know zero about its long-term effects?
	Zero first mRNA type of vaccine ever developed?
	Folks, it may be unbelievably safe.
	Although if you do look at the VAERS database, the database about adverse reactions to the vaccine, the numbers are in the hundreds of thousands.
	Some are quite serious.
	It may be perfectly safe for most people.
	I don't care about what's true.
	There is no reason on earth for a healthy young person to take this vaccine.
	It is criminal to force them to do so.
	It is criminal to force kids to wear masks.
	Criminal.
	The IQs of kids have been reduced, according to Brown University, in the last year.
	Kids don't see faces.
	It's not a good thing.
	Kids don't play with other kids.

	Tyson Foods Incorporated cannot increase prices for chicken and prepare foods fast enough to keep pace with rising costs for raw materials like grain due to Bidenflation.
	Biden...
	Inflation.
	Say it with me.
	Tyson increased their prices to their restaurant customers.
	And you're thinking like, okay, so what?
	I don't care if they increase it to their restaurant customers.
	That's for people that are going out.
	We're not going out to eat anymore.
	It's not going to affect us.
	Aha!
	Aha!
	Yes, it will.
	As of September 5th, the retail prices are going to rise significantly for the consumers.

	Make sure you stash a little more food at home than normal.

	Not with this administration and the White House.
	It's just not going to happen.

	Gavin Newsom does not.
	He can raise and spend an unlimited amount of money.
	And shortly after it was obvious I was going to get into the race, the union, SEIU union, gave him $5 million for the anti-recall side.
	And just a couple of days ago, the teachers union, the largest funder of his campaign, gave him an additional $1.8 million.
	It is estimated he's going to raise a minimum of $50 million, maybe as much as $75 million to defeat me.
	You were praising my courage.
	Let me just say something about that.
	I get that a lot.
	And I have to push back because I'm not storming the beaches of Normandy.
	Unlike my father, I was never a Marine.
	Unlike my older brother, I was never a member of the Navy.
	Like my little brother, I was never a member of the Army.
	I did not serve.
	And about all the things I've ever done in my life, that's probably the thing that I regret the most.
	That I didn't give back a few years to my country.
	So this is a small sacrifice.
	I'm losing a little bit of money, well actually a lot of money compared to my net worth.
	And of course nobody's lived a pure life and anything and everything I've ever done will be exposed and will be twisted.
	And I know that I'll be assuming that, but this is a small price.

	A quick reminder about Sierra Pacific Mortgage and AndrewandTodd.com.
	Andrew and Todd are human beings.
	They're great with regard to anything to do with a refi or a reverse mortgage, anything to do with mortgage rates.
	Because they're honest, they're competent, they'll help you.
	They go the extra step.
	I met these guys.
	They've been advertising on my show, and I've been endorsing them since the first day of the lockdown of 2020. They're hardworking.
	They're with Sierra Pacific Mortgage, and they're at andrewandtodd.com.
	Anything to do with your rates.
	Just, you know, obligated if you call them.
	But that is the way to contact them.

	It's quite remarkable to think that we're having these guinea pigs.
	You sign up to serve this country in the Army, Marines, Navy.
	Coast Guard, Army.
	And you're told you have to—you have to get a vaccine that has never had a long-term study.
	Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
	It's an interesting question.
	What are greater chances?
	Being hurt by the vaccine?
	You're a 22-year-old healthy person.
	Do you have a greater chance of being hurt?
	Damaged by COVID or damaged by the vaccine?
	I think statistically damaged by the vaccine is a greater number.
	I'm not saying that most people are damaged by the vaccine by any means.
	Most people are not.
	But since it is so extremely rare for a 22-year-old to be damaged by COVID... I'm not saying get COVID, get COVID and have a fever for a few days.
	It's not damaged.
	But I mean permanently damaged.
	I don't know.
	It would be an interesting piece of data.
	What if they're close?
	Who are we to tell a young person you must get a vaccine that has at least as great a chance of hurting you as COVID does?
	Hmm?
	It's not anti-vaccine.
	It's either true or not true.
	I don't ask, is it anti or pro?
	I ask, is it true or not true, what I just said?
	And if it's not true, then that answers the question.
	It is a far greater danger.
	COVID is a far greater danger to a 22-year-old healthy person than the vaccination.
	Okay, that argues for the vaccination.
	Agreed.
	But if it isn't, it doesn't argue for vaccination, correct?
	800,000 members of the military should refuse this order, and they're not going to court-martial 800,000 people.

	See, when you lose liberty, there's always a reason.
	There's always a good reason.
	And...
	That's why I was so exercised, and probably the only one on radio, maybe the only one in American media, who even paid attention to the fact that in a communist city like Burbank, California, you can't smoke in a cigar lounge.
	There's no cigar seller in Burbank that you can sit and smoke a cigar in, because of secondhand smoke.
	People don't give a damn because they didn't smoke cigars.
	People don't give a damn about liberty if it doesn't affect them.
	And by the time it affects them, it's too late.
	There you go.
	That's the way it is with human nature.
	As you know, I'm not a fan of human beings.
	I'm a fan of individual human beings.
	The human species is unimpressive.
	Many individuals are impressive.
	I know a lot of impressive individuals.
	It's one of the great joys of my life.
	Top two or three joys of my life of the terrific people that I know.
	Two siblings banned.
	I'm sure you heard about this one.
	Two siblings were banned from a charter school in California if they refused to wear masks because of religious reasons.
	I don't quite understand what religious reasons are.
	As the whole campus was placed on lockdown.
	The point I want to make is that the campus was placed on lockdown because two kids didn't wear a mask.
	And you're telling me that the secular world produces reason?
	The secular world is more fanatical, more irrational than mainstream religion in American history.
	The average religious person of the 18th century was more rational than the average secular person of the 21st century, let alone the big secular.
	Institutions, the university.
	Where do you think the stupidest ideas come from?
	The most secular institution, the university.
	There's a picture of two Jews wearing a Jewish star during the pre-Holocaust days.
	People wonder, how is it that we didn't do something?
	We didn't run away, we didn't hide.
	Well, things didn't happen at once.
	Things happened very slowly.
	So each time a new law came out or a new restriction, we said, well, just another thing, it'll blow over.
	When we had to wear the yellow star to be outside, we started to worry.
	Yeah.
	So, they'll mandate this.
	What do they mandate next?
	You're not worried by this?
	You think you're going to be killed by an unvaccinated person?
	No.
	Well, of course you won't, because you're vaccinated.
	So, what bugs you about the unvaccinated?
	Well, they're filling up hospitals.
	Okay, let's look at the average hospital in the country.
	I know that the press always reports Hospital X or Hospital Y, but even when they reported it, it tends not to be true.
	They reported about a major hospital in Houston, so someone I'm quite close to, one of the ER doctors there, said it's just not true.
	We're doing fine.
	The press lies with the ease with which you breathe, because the press is on the left, and truth is not a left-wing value.

	Is that Florida is the domestic example of a more orderly, common sense approach to the land of the insane, right?
	And they hate that.
	Like, we must crush Ron DeSantis.
	We must crush Victor Orban, right?
	Right, and notice that the people calling for crushing other people are the ones calling you a fascist.
	So the very people who are like, oh no, it's totally normal to fire someone from his job because I disagree with him.
	It's totally normal to beat someone up for having a Trump hat on.

	Yeah, we should beat him up.
	It's totally cool to burn your cities on the basis of political ideology, BLM, over the last year and a half.
	No, it's totally fine.
	But if you disagree that you're the fascist, it's like at a certain point, you know, I think we're too literal.
	I know that I certainly am way too literal.
	Every night, you know, I'm writing...
	My scripts, and I'm like, I can't, but it's the opposite of the truth!
	And at a certain point, that's on me.
	Of course it's the opposite of the truth.
	It's a totalitarian worldview that inverts reality for its own power.
	Like, that's just what it is.
	And if I continue to be surprised by it, then I'm the moron.
	The question is, what do you do about it?
	And I'm not sure I know the answer.
	I mean, I'm not in charge of anything.
	I'm just a talk show host, so my job is just to, like, say it out loud.
	I think that's a helpful first step.

	CNN just fired three employees for not getting the vaccine.
	Just fired them.
	No one said anything.
	That's totally normal.
	Take a man's livelihood away because he won't take a medicine that you want him to take, that he may not need, that he certainly doesn't want, and he can't work in this country?

	Now, when it comes to inflation, I want you to think of this.
	This is an easy way for you to understand or to remember what inflation is if this is a topic that's somewhat new to you.
	It's when too many dollars, so you have tons of money chasing too few goods.
	There's not enough stuff to buy, in other words.
	Or think of Black Friday.
	You know how...
	All the stores try to get you in the stores during Christmas season, Thanksgiving, Christmas season, Black Friday.
	You want to buy all this stuff.
	And they always advertise this one laptop or this one television set that's going to be sitting right smack in the middle of the department store.
	And they only have X amount.
	Before they're absolutely gone.
	And obviously their trick is to get you in the store so you can buy other stuff if you're in California, so you can shoplift other stuff.
	But in other places around the nation, it's so you can buy other stuff.
	So you walk into this store, you get into, or, well, you don't walk in on Black Friday.
	You bum rush that store.
	Are you set in line?

	Yes, I am.
	Thank you for having me, Mr. Prager.
	It is my delight.
	What city are you in in South Africa?
	Pretoria.
	How are things in Pretoria?
	Because we're reading about very difficult times in parts of South Africa.
	It's better now.
	It's better now.
	A lot of vaccinations going on.
	Nothing mandatory yet.
	The looting has gone down.
	So it's a little calm now.
	Well, that's good to hear.
	And you are at the university there?
	Yes, I'm at the University of Pretoria.
	And what are you studying?
	I'm studying social science, industrial sociology, and labor studies.
	What was the second one?
	Industrial what?
	Industrial sociology.
	Do you know that I would say that half the things that people your age are majoring in, I never heard of.
	What is industrial sociology?
	So it's basically the study of how the labor market works.
	It's basically sociology within the labor market.
	Fascinating.
	And did you grow up in Pretoria?
	No, I actually grew up in Guadalajara.
	That's a state in South Africa.
	Well, wonderful.
	How did you become acquainted with Prager Force?
	Oh man, because of my course, my college degree, it's in the humanities, so I had to come along a lot of work, education, maybe in vaccination, and I just wanted something maybe in vaccination, and I just wanted something to set me free, and I was searching a lot of anti-feminist stuff.
	and the YouTube algorithm thought, well, it's my way.
	So that's how I joined Praetor.
	So you were looking for an alternative to the woke ideology you were being taught?
	Yes, absolutely.
	I see.
	Are you largely alone, or are there other students who feel as you do?
	There are a couple who feel as I do, but I didn't have a community before I joined PragerFord, so I recently found a couple of South African students through PragerFord who believe the way I do now.
	In South Africa?
	Yes.
	Oh, that's wonderful.
	It's so nice to hear.
	Have you ever left South Africa?
	No, never.
	We have to get you to America, to a Prager Force conference.
	I would love that.
	I had a feeling you would love that.
	I mean it sincerely.
	I'm going to strongly suggest that we figure out a way to bring you to the United States.
	We in America are worried about losing freedom.
	Do you have that worry in South Africa?
	Definitely, definitely.
	You know, we just got out of apartheid 15 years ago, but right now there is a huge rise of black superliffic movements who are, I mean, the worst thing we've ever seen.
	I mean, we have our own AOC who are right now saying we have not called for the killing of white people as of yet.
	And they're calling for a kind of totalitarian state where everything is just, you know, they're calling basically for communism and we're trying to fight against that at this point.
	And they're doing the same thing the list is doing in America where they're calling black people victims of white people.
	But there's literally nothing that a white person can do in South Africa that I can't.
	So they're using the same type of lies, trying to victimize people.
	And, yeah, that's what we're trying to do as well.

	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.

	It's Man on the Streets with Will Ritz, and it was when he went to a college campus and he asked everyone, the first question was, "Do you believe in God?" and the follow-up question was, "Are you happy in life?" I'm just seeing the huge distinction between people who said they believed in God and people who said they were not sure and how everyone who said they believed in God was very happy in life and everyone who said they didn't believe in God said that the question of happiness is either very hard or they were just not happy in life.
	I think it was at that moment when I realized that the world needs more God and that's the one thing that's lacking in the humanities because they teach so much Wow.
	What a beautiful response.
	That's exactly right.
	We take God seriously at PragerU.
	We take liberty seriously.

	That goes along with men give birth.
	The chaplain as an atheist is the same as men give birth.
	Our universities are places of chaos.
	I just read this today.
	Just a story that came out.
	By the way, you can help PragerU at PragerU.com or the link at DennisPrager.com.
	I've got to read that to you.
	It's not shocking, but it's shocking, if you get what I mean.
	Let's see, where is the story here?
	Harvard New Chapel.
	There we go.
	There's the story.
	The new chief chaplain at Harvard, an atheist.
	Yes.
	Harvard's organization of chaplains is elected as the next president, an atheist named Greg Epstein, who takes on the job this week.
	Mr. Epstein, 44, is author of the book, Good Without God.
	It's a seemingly unusual choice for the role.
	He will coordinate the activities of more than 40 university chaplains.
	Who head the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, and other religious communities on campus?
	There we go.
	Many Harvard students, some raised in families of faith, however, never quite certain how to label their religious identities, attest to the influence that Mr. Epstein has had on their spiritual lives.
	Why don't I go to Harvard and have a debate with Mr. Epstein about being good without God?
	That he believes that God is unnecessary for a society to be good.
	Everybody knows that any individual could be good with or without God.
	Any individual could be good with or without Zeus.
	The question is not the individual.
	The question is the society.
	By the way, I debated good without God at Oxford very many years ago.
	I think it's on the internet, the transcript of the debate.
	I published it in my journal, Ultimate Issues, that I used to print in the 80s.
	There's a rising group of people who no longer identify with any religious tradition but still experience a real need for conversation and support around what it means to be a good human and lead an ethical life, said Mr. Epstein.
	I've been Harvard's humanist chaplain since 2005, teaching students about the progressive movement.
	That centers people's relationships with one another instead of with God.
	See, it's really been successful.
	Our radically secular society, doesn't it just seem that it's more loving and less violent and more intellectually alive and open, right?
	Back in a moment.
	This is Albert Moeller for townhall.com.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times has put forward a horrifyingly honest argument about abortion.
	The headline it ran was this.
	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.
	Their focus was a law passed in 2017 by the legislature in Ohio, a law that seeks to prevent abortion on the grounds that the unborn baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times is saying that it is wrong to try to protect unborn babies that are diagnosed with Down syndrome by such a law.
	Why is it wrong?
	Because, says the editorial board, it interferes with what is a greater good than human dignity in the womb.
	And that means a woman's absolute autonomy.
	And what the paper claims is her constitutional right to destroy the life within her.
	Like I said, this editorial is honest.
	It's also horrifying.
	I'm Albert Moeller.

	This is really crucially important.
	The lessons of the last 20 years is that we are...
	Our military, when it comes to the application of military force at the tactical or even operational level, has no match in the world, especially Operation Anaconda.
	The October 2001 operation, when we went in there with just a couple of hundred CIA paramilitaries and guys from Delta and from Bragg, and we leveraged 21,000 members of the Northern Alliance, and we took down the Taliban government, that was textbook.
	Nobody, not even...
	And Julius Caesar, not Napoleon, could do it better.
	But since then, at the strategic level, Kurt, it's been a disaster.
	It's been an utter disaster.
	And frankly, I'm worried about the tactical level.
	I'm worried that whether or not we still maintain the tactical capabilities that we need for high-intensity combat operations against peer-level competitors like the Chinese.
	Especially, and I write about this in my Monday Town Hall column, Dr. Gorka, especially...
	When you look at the Navy, for nearly 70 years, it has glided on the legacy of the military triumphs in the Pacific Theater over the Japanese.
	And we relied on, we consoled ourselves, saying, well, you know, the Chinese technology is getting better.
	They're getting more and more ships.
	But we have a naval tradition.
	You know what?

	It's as simple as that.

	But Chaplin implies something.
	It's like saying the head of the American Medical Association or the head of a pediatric society doesn't have to be an MD. Really?
	So I'm reading this article about his views.
	We don't look to a god for answers, Mr. Epstein said.
	We are each other's answers.
	Do you realize that that statement means nothing?
	Absolutely nothing.
	We are each other's answers.

	Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
	Eric, I have campaign expenditure limitations.
	Gavin Newsom does not.
	He can raise and spend an unlimited amount of money.
	And shortly after it was obvious I was going to get into the race, the union, SEIU union, gave him $5 million for the anti-recall side.
	And just a couple of days ago, the teachers union, the largest funder of his campaign, gave him an additional $1.8 million.
	It is estimated he's going to raise a minimum of $50 million, maybe as much as $75 million to defeat him.
	You were praising my courage.
	Let me just say something about that.
	I get that a lot, and I have to push back because I'm not storming the beaches of Normandy.
	Unlike my father, I was never a Marine.
	Unlike my older brother, I was never a member of the Navy.
	Like my little brother, I was never a member of the Army.
	I did not serve.
	And about all the things I've ever done in my life, that's probably the thing that I regret the most.
	That I didn't give back a few years to my country.
	So this is a small sacrifice.
	I'm losing a little bit of money, well, actually a lot of money compared to my net worth.
	And of course, nobody's lived a pure life and anything and everything I've ever done will be exposed and will be twisted.
	And I know that I'll be assuming that.
	But this is a small price to pay for a country that I love so much and for a state that I love so much.
	You know, that's why you are who you are.
	You have perspective.
	You're talking about your father.
	You've been on this program before talking about your father.
	And when you've lived that kind of a life and you see what real sacrifice looks like, it's natural for you to do things that other people say, well, that's brave or that's heroic.
	You just think, well, what are you talking about?
	This is basic stuff.
	I've been living in a country that allowed me to succeed and to say what I want.
	How can I not fight for that?
	I think sometimes things have to get very bad before people finally wake up.
	I think it's a very crafty strategy.
	It's the reverse of the Reagan strategy.
	Expand the entitlement culture to the point that it bankrupts the United States and we have to withdraw from the world.
	But, I mean, look, the interest on the federal debt last year was about, I think, about $380 billion, with treasuries at 2%, right?
	So what happens when the Fed jacks up interest rates, as they will, in order to fight inflation?
	So if it goes to 4%, it's going to cost us another $400 billion to service the debt.
	The entire discretionary budget is about, what, $1.7 trillion?
	So that's more than a quarter of the entire discretionary budget.
	I had a senior Trump administration official tell me last night.
	The only way out will be to devalue the currency.
	You get to do that once and you're no longer the reserve currency.
	It is debasing the currency.
	This is, I think, to show that they can do something big and beat the Republicans.
	I mean, I don't want to be uncharitable.
	And yeah, there's a lot of bad policies.
	You've talked about the death tax and you're right.
	They're eliminating work for all these welfare programs.
	So we're going to be treated to millions and millions of able-bodied people.
	Getting all these benefits and not working, because it doesn't make any sense for them to work.
	No, it's economically rational to stay home, especially when they extended the rent moratorium.
	They screwed small landlords everywhere in the United States, but they also increased the incentive not to go back to work.

	Fighting lawyers is not easy.
	People are as scared of lawyers as they are with COVID. I have no interest in, generally, listening to experts on anything because their judgment has nothing to do with their expertise.
	I want their expertise.
	I don't want their conclusions.
	That's why we have a commander-in-chief of all of our armed forces who is not in the armed forces.
	Right?
	If we believed in expertise, then all military policy should be made by the military.
	In fact, the military told Joe Biden not to do what he did in Afghanistan.
	We should have listened to them as it happens.
	But not because they're military.

	John in Greenwood, South Carolina.
	Hello to you.
	Dennis, do you have your brain girded up for...
	A confrontation, because that's where we're going if you'll engage me.
	I completely disagree with every remark that you make about the effectiveness of masks.
	You say masks are useless and worthless, and that's just absolutely false.
	It's an out-and-out lie.
	And if you keep propagating it, it makes you a liar.
	And you're so interested in accuracy and consistency, and you're just, you're absolutely mistaken on this.
	You try to equate all masks as being equally effective.
	Some are essentially worthless, and that's correct.
	But you should be promoting N95 masks, which are up to 99.8% effective against the COVID-19 virus.
	Okay, so wait, you're not done.
	So continue one minute.
	I'm letting you talk all you want.
	Go ahead.
	I hold you partially accountable for the 625,000 people who died of COVID. If we had all been wearing N95 masks or surgical masks or both, maybe 6,000 people would have died of COVID. And there should have been a mass public education campaign showing us how to use these.
	And we should have been actually putting unemployed people to work making these masks.
	Let me refer you to an article in Popular Mechanics.
	And you should have been listening to the engineers all along about how effective these masks are.
	Here we go.
	Let's see.
	These masks can filter about 99.8% of particles with a diameter of about 0.1 microns, according to a February 2017 study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene.
	As an April 2020 review published in the journal eLife notes, The virus that causes COVID-19 is an enveloped virus with about 0.1 micron diameter.
	So N95s are particularly suited to our current pandemic.
	Now, let me come up for air on this.
	I'm just shocked at you.
	And one of the things you don't seem to realize is that you're actually violating the Ninth Commandment when it says Don't bear false witness.
	You're bearing false witness.
	You're almost like the Don Quixote of wrong information on masks.
	One of the reasons I'm so upset and can barely talk right now is I just had a friend die of COVID, and he wouldn't mask.
	And I'm pretty sure you might have had something to do with it.
	And I also had a cousin die last week.
	And she had just received the vaccine.
	You wear a mask outdoors?
	I'm just curious.
	No, of course not.
	Not unless I'm up close to somebody, no.
	And that's ridiculous.
	And you're absolutely correct on that.
	Okay, fair enough.
	All right.
	So, I'll give you the data upon which I have based my statement that masks are useless unless they have a HEPA filter attached to them, which nobody does.
	So, here they go.
	We'll start with the New England Journal of Medicine, not Popular Mechanics.
	New England Journal of Medicine, May 21st, 2020. Universal masking in hospitals in the COVID-19 era.
	Okay?
	Written by a bunch of MDs and PhDs.
	New England Journal of Medicine is the most prestigious journal of medicine in the country.
	We know that wearing a mask outside healthcare facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection.
	Okay?
	I'll give you more.
	A mask will not protect providers caring for a patient with active COVID-19 if it's not accompanied by meticulous hand hygiene, eye protection, gloves, and a gown.
	If you advocate that, that we all go around with eye protection, gloves, and a gown, I think we would lose what is left of our being humans in this country.
	A mask alone will not prevent healthcare workers with early COVID-19 from contaminating their hands and spreading the virus to patients and colleagues.
	Focusing on universal masking alone may paradoxically lead to more transmission of COVID-19 if it diverts attention from implementing more fundamental infection control measures.
	All right, that's the New England Journal of Medicine.
	Again, the date, May 21, 2020. It is true that they later, they were attacked, of course.
	Because they went against Fauci, and that's all that matters in medicine today, not whether you tell the truth.
	And so they said, of course, we didn't mean to say that people shouldn't wear masks.
	Okay.
	Just for the record, it means nothing what they later added to the original.
	Next.
	Do masks work?
	A review of the evidence.
	Jeffrey Anderson, City Journal, August 11, 2021. Surgical masks were designed to keep medical personnel from inadvertently infecting patients' wounds, not to prevent the spread of viruses.
	Many cities across the country, following new CDC guidance handed down amid a spike in cases nationally caused by the Delta variant and once again mandating indoor mask wearing, For everyone, regardless of inoculation status.
	The CDC asserts this, even though its own statistics show that COVID-19 is not much of a threat to school children.
	Okay, so that has a lot to do with the school children.
	Let me read to you another one here.
	Daily Mail, July 5th, 2021. Wearing a mask can expose children to dangerous levels of carbon dioxide in just three minutes.
	Study finds.
	Young children may have been hurt by wearing masks over the past year, as they may have been exposed to unsafe carbon dioxide levels in minutes, a new study found.
	A study led by researchers in Poland, Germany, and Austria wanted to test whether making young children wear masks at school and other public areas could have done more harm than good.
	They found that some children were reaching 12 times the acceptable limit within only three minutes of wearing the mask, according to the study funded by German Charity.
	And then they named the name of the charity.
	Researchers who published their study in JAMA included 45 children.
	Oh, that I didn't know.
	That was in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
	Okay.
	Researchers found that carbon dioxide levels among children of all age groups was far exceeding healthy levels.
	There was also a trend of younger children having much higher carbon dioxide levels than older children.
	Many children were required to wear masks at schools when they reopened last year.
	This was despite data that showed younger children were unlikely to spread COVID. Okay, that's so much for that.
	Let's see if I have another one.
	I could read for the rest of the hour.
	I could, in fact, more of.
	Here's another one.
	We lack credible.
	This is published in, of all places, New York Magazine, which is on the left, just for the record.
	And it is about a study that I read to you last week or the week before.
	It just came out, August 2021. Let's see here.
	A year ago, I said masks are not the end of the world.
	Why not just wear a mask?
	Elisa Schechter-Perkins, Director of Emergency Medicine, Infectious Disease Management at Boston Medical Center, said, But the world has changed.
	There are real downsides to masking children for this long with no known end date and without any clear upside.
	I'm not aware of any studies that show conclusively that kids wearing masks in schools has any effect on their own morbidity or mortality or on the hospitalization or death rates.
	We'll be back.

	People vote on election day.
	On election day, that is what the point was.
	Election day, not election month.
	It's all corrupt.
	Democratic Party, being the party of the left, is corrupt by definition.
	Every leftist institution is corrupt.
	And they feel completely justified in cheating.
	As I pointed out, I would cheat if I believed that I were preventing a dictator.
	A fascist?
	An anti-Semite?
	A racist bigot from being elected president?
	I would cheat.
	If I were counting ballots in Nazi Germany, or not Nazi Germany, in Weimar Germany, in 1932, the last free election, I would cheat on behalf of the non-Nazi candidates.
	And that's how Democrats feel.
	Oh, we wouldn't cheat.
	But of course they would.
	They have every reason to cheat.
	If they believe their lies about Donald Trump and about Republicans, why wouldn't they cheat?
	They're stopping fascism, stopping racism, correct or not?
	Can't have it both ways.
	We won't cheat and we'll allow fascist dictators who want us to oppress blacks and women and gays and Chicanos.
	And Hispanics, non-Chicano, and gays, and you name it.
	Who wouldn't?
	What decent person wouldn't cheat?
	So, either they believe they're stopping fascism, or they don't.
	It's a very difficult time.
	We're living in Marianne, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
	Hello to you.
	Hello, Dr. Prager.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for the doctorate.
	Yes, hello.
	Yes, God bless you.
	You are the brightest light, I must say.
	I wanted to ask you a question.
	My daughter works in the medical field in the Poconos here in Pennsylvania.
	And she was told that if she doesn't get vaccinated, she's going to lose her job.
	And if she loses her job...
	She won't have medical coverage, and she needs medicine because she has an immune disorder, and if she doesn't get the medicine, I may lose her.
	Wow.
	Yeah, and I was wondering if Alliance Defending Freedom will help her?
	I think you should contact them.
	I don't have their number.
	Well, just look them up on the internet, ADF Alliance Defending Freedom.
	Yeah, right.
	And you'll know how to contact them.
	But I think the thing I most worry about is the medical insurance coverage that she needs and she may lose.
	It's very troubling to me.
	It's very troubling that a young woman would ever be told you have to get this vaccine.
	Or you will be fired from any job.
	There is a very substantial percentage of nurses and others in the medical profession who are not vaccinated.
	People should interview them.
	Why doesn't the press interview them?
	Hey, you work in the medical profession.
	Why aren't you vaccinated?
	Very interesting to find out their answers, to hear their answers.
	The issue is figuring out how to get coverage.
	I don't want your daughter to have to take the vaccine, and I don't want your daughter to lose her medical coverage.
	What I think will happen is if enough people leave the profession, they need nurses.
	So if enough people leave the profession because of this despicable demand that they lose their income if they don't get the vaccine, a first, as I know in any way in American history, People in the medical profession say, okay, bye-bye.
	They'll drop it.
	They need all these nurses.
	Or the hospitals cannot function.
	But in your daughter's case, I don't want her to lose the coverage for a specific illness that she has.
	You have to look into, before she does anything, where she could obtain medical coverage.
	We'll be back on Dennis Prager.

	- Eric, I have campaign expenditure limitations Gavin Newsom does not.
	He can raise and spend an unlimited amount of money.
	And shortly after it was obvious I was going to get into the race, the union, SEIU union, gave him $5 million for the anti-recall side.
	And just a couple of days ago, the teachers union, the largest funder of his campaign, gave him an additional $1.8 million.
	It is estimated he's going to raise a minimum of $50 million, maybe as much as $75 million to defeat me.
	You were praising my courage.
	Let me just say something about that.
	I get that a lot, and I have to push back because I'm not storming the beaches of Normandy.
	Unlike my father, I was never a Marine.
	Unlike my older brother, I was never a member of the Navy.
	Like my little brother, I was never a member of the Army.
	I did not serve.
	And about all the things I've ever done in my life, that's probably the thing that I regret the most.
	That I didn't give back a few years to my country.
	So this is a small sacrifice.
	I'm losing a little bit of money, actually a lot of money compared to my net worth.
	And of course, nobody's lived a pure life and anything and everything we've ever done will be exposed and will be twisted.
	And I know that I'll be assuming that.
	But this is a small price to pay for a country that I love so much and for a state that I love so much.
	You know, that's why you are who you are.
	You have perspective.
	You're talking about your father.
	You've been on this program before talking about your father.
	And when you've lived that kind of a life and you see what real sacrifice looks like, it's natural for you to do things that other people say, well, that's brave or that's heroic.
	You just think, well, what are you talking about?
	This is basic stuff.
	I've been living in a country that allowed me to succeed and to say what I want.
	How can I not fight for that?
	And again, I think sometimes things have to get very bad before people finally wake up.

	It's the reverse of the Reagan strategy.
	Expand the entitlement culture to the point that it bankrupts the United States and we have to withdraw from the world.
	But I mean, look, the interest on the federal debt last year was about, I think, about $380 billion, with treasuries at 2%, right?
	So what happens when the Fed jacks up interest rates, as they will, in order to fight inflation?
	So if it goes to 4%, it's going to cost us another $400 billion to service the debt.
	The entire discretionary budget is about, what, $1.7 trillion?
	So that's more than a quarter of the entire discretionary budget.
	I had a senior Trump administration official tell me last night.
	The only way out will be to devalue the currency.
	You get to do that once and you're no longer the reserve currency.
	It is debasing the currency.
	This is, I think, to show that they can do something big and beat the Republicans.
	I mean, I don't want to be uncharitable.
	And yeah, there's a lot of bad policies.
	You've talked about the death tax and you're right.

	No, it's economically rational to stay home, especially when they extended the rent moratorium.

	They are winning now, as it happens.
	There are a number of fighters and heroes in the struggle for free speech.
	One of them is Zach Voorhees.
	Zach Voorhees worked at Google.
	He's a whistleblower there.
	His book is out, Google Leaks, a whistleblower's expose of big tech censorship.
	Zach Voorhees, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
	Hey, Dennis.
	It's good to be here.
	Thank you for having me on.
	Yes, to say the least, you've earned it.
	So, when was this, 2019?
	When did you leak these documents?
	Yeah, this was in June.
	Well, I originally started gathering them up in 2017 after I saw the blacklists that were being generated because of the Las Vegas massacre, which was used as the excuse to inject them, but then were then being used for political purposes.
	I saw that Google was messaging to Congress that they weren't using any political filtering at all.
	As an insider seeing what Google was doing, I knew that to just be laughably false.
	And so as I started seeing these documents being generated inside the company, I just started hitting file save to PDF onto my laptop.
	And one after another, I started to develop a dossier detailing Google's censorship regime against the American public.
	And Dennis, when people ask me what destroyed Google, the answer is actually very simple.
	Trump derangement syndrome destroyed Google.
	And it made them betray their stockholders, the American public, and to the promises that they would not engage in political censorship and leverage their monopoly to abuse the American...
	The American.
	And that's what they did.
	And this is where we are today.
	I mean, you can't even post about ivermectin now without getting banned off of YouTube.
	The amount of censorship today is absolutely horrendous.
	And I'm so happy that in 2019, I was able to tell America and the world that this was coming.
	And how did my predictions do, Dennis?
	I'm sorry, what about your predictions?
	How do my predictions do, Dennis?
	Yeah, you're batting, unfortunately, you're batting 1,000.
	Yeah, unfortunately.
	But, you know, hope is not lost.
	There are new systems that are being built that are going to solve this problem.
	There's a lot of talk about Section 230 and what kind of lawyer can fix this problem.
	I don't think, Dennis, that the legal system is going to fix...
	Our problem.
	I think the legal system is part of the problem.
	I think that it's going to be technology itself and content creators going out there and saying we're not going to be silenced and finding systems that allow users to connect with the content creators that they love,
	like the Dennis Prager Show, and to have freedom of association because that's what it's all about at the end of the day is do we have the First Amendment rights as an American to seek out opinion and sense making and being able to give information that is truthful or not.
	So your solution is an alternate to Google?
	I'm actually working on an alternate system right now that's going to replace the YouTube recommendation algorithm.
	I was going to release it with my book, but I decided to go full attention on this book.
	And I'm thinking at the end of September, I'm going to be releasing this alternative search engine that goes across platforms.
	It doesn't just, you know, bring you content from YouTube.
	It brings you content from Rumble, BitChute, Brideon, Parler.
	No, not Parler.
	Right.
	So you will be a non-biased search engine as opposed to Google as a biased search engine.
	Is that a fair summary?
	It's called a video page.
	It's more of a video page.
	Okay, fair enough.
	So you will be able to find essentially any video of any opinion with your algorithm?
	That's almost correct.
	It's going to be an inclusion list that includes the people that are being censored lightly and heavily.
	It's more of a conservative...
	All right, hold it there.
	I want to hear it.
	Let's remember where we're at.
	Conservative Echo Chamber.
	His book, Google Leaks, is up at DennisPrager.com.

	If you have joint or muscle pain, this thing is so effective, and they have such an honest policy, if it doesn't work in three weeks, it probably won't work for you.
	So they have a special price to try for three weeks.
	$19.95 plus shipping.
	There you go.
	Give it that try.
	Does it work?
	Cancel your order.
	It does work.
	You are given a new lease on life.
	relieffactor.com 800-500-8384 Because
	all it takes is one example of something that works, and that's why Florida and Hungary, in my opinion, are so similar, right?
	Is that Florida is the domestic example of a more orderly, common sense approach to the land of the insane, right?
	And they hate that.
	Like, we must crush Ron DeSantis, we must crush Viktor Orban, right?
	Right, and notice that the people calling for crushing other people are the ones calling you a fascist.
	So the very people who are like, oh no, it's totally normal to fire someone from his job because I disagree with him.
	It's totally normal to beat someone up for having a Trump hat on.
	You know, a political party that I don't support?
	Yeah, we should beat him up.
	It's totally cool to burn your cities on the basis of political ideology, BLM, over the last year and a half.
	No, it's totally fine.
	But if you disagree that you're the fascist, it's like at a certain point, you know, I think we're too literal.
	I know that I certainly am way too literal.
	Every night, you know, I'm writing...
	My scripts, and I'm like, I can't, but that's the opposite of the truth!
	And at a certain point, that's on me.
	Of course, it's the opposite of the truth.
	It's a totalitarian worldview that inverts reality for its own power.
	Like, that's just what it is.
	And if I continue to be surprised by it, then I'm the moron.
	The question is, what do you do about it?
	And I'm not sure I know the answer.
	I mean, I'm not in charge of anything.
	I'm just a talk show host, so my job is just to, like, say it out loud.
	I think that's a helpful first step.
	But you can see where this is going.
	CNN just fired three employees for not getting the vaccine.
	Just fired them.
	No one said anything.
	That's totally normal.
	Take a man's livelihood away because he won't take a medicine that you want him to take, that he may not need, that he certainly doesn't want, and he can't work in this country?
	Do we want to live in that country?
	I don't, you know, I don't.

	Now, when it comes to inflation, I want you to think of this.
	This is an easy way for you to understand or to remember what inflation is if this is a topic that's somewhat new to you.
	It's when too many dollars, so you have tons of money chasing too few goods.
	There's not enough stuff to buy, in other words.
	Or think of Black Friday.
	You know how...
	All the stores try to get you in the stores during Christmas season, Thanksgiving, Christmas season, Black Friday.
	You want to buy all this stuff.
	And they always advertise this one laptop or this one television set that's going to be sitting right smack in the middle of the department store.
	And they only have X amount.
	Before they're absolutely gone.
	And obviously their trick is to get you in a store so you can buy other stuff if you're in California.
	So you can shoplift other stuff.
	But in other places around the nation, it's so you can buy other stuff.
	And it was a whistleblower about what they have been doing at Google.
	And he has reported this.
	The book is just out.
	Google Leaks.
	It's up at DennisPrager.com.
	And you can get it, obviously, anywhere books are sold, presumably.
	So you are working on an algorithm to enable people searching for a video on the Internet not to be circumscribed by Google biases, but rather find what they're really but rather find what they're really looking for.
	But you said it was primarily designed for conservatives.
	Is that accurate?
	Yeah.
	Think of it like the old school George reports, but for video.
	It's meant for showcasing video that's been released in the last 24 hours by all the conservative commentators, including you.
	You're actually featured on this.
	And I hate teasing everyone about it because I can't show them, but it's essentially taking all these different content creators that exist around the Internet.
	I have a spider that scans them once an hour for new content, and then it puts all of that into one single page.
	You get a feed of what everyone is talking about today.
	Think of it almost like an intelligence dashboard for what conservatives are talking about.
	That's amazing.
	That's absolutely amazing.
	I'm wondering, can any plugs be pulled as Amazon did, for example?
	When I created it, I am a software engineer by profession, so I created it so it didn't have to rely on anything that was done on Amazon.
	If Amazon pulls the plug, then I can just install it, even on my own home computer, and just keep it running from there.
	Like, it generates a website, and then it pushes that to a static hosting site that's cheap, and then the whole thing just runs.
	And so Amazon can't pull the plug.
	No one can pull the plug.
	And after I release it, I'm going to make it open source so that if someone takes me down, someone else can set it up.
	Not only up in the United States, but also set it up so that different sites across the world in different countries can be able to aggregate their own conservative content creators.
	Because the censorship is not just happening here in America, Dennis.
	Oh, right.
	Exactly.
	How would they be able to take you down?
	It's only an algorithm.
	You're not a physical database.
	Right.
	So how would they take you down?
	They can't.
	They can't take me down.
	Because you said if they take you down, you're making it open source.
	So that's what I'm reacting to.
	If they go to my hosters and they harass them one at a time and get them to...
	Well, that's right.
	That's right.
	Okay, so that has nothing to do with you.
	That's right.
	That is my worry.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I'm open sourcing it so other people can run it as well.
	If you were to, like, I don't know, find out a way to arrest me or something, then, you know, the open source.
	Okay, well, I'll visit you in prison.
	Okay, or I may have a cell next to you.
	In the gulags, right?
	Who knows?
	Who knows?
	Truly, who knows?
	This is very important work you're doing.
	What is your book detail?
	My book details how Google rewrote their algorithms in order to target Trump.
	And what's really interesting is that one of the representatives, Karen Batia, went to Congress and said they didn't use any political filtering.
	But it's very clear from their slides that they redesigned their news algorithms in order to target Trump.
	And they specifically looked at the stories that were generated by the Trump-Comey fight.
	And there was 18,000 stories that were generated on that fight.
	And they used that data set in order to figure out how to amplify stories by constructing a megastory that was essentially a conglomerate of all the other stories.
	So with the Trump coming every day, there would be new stories coming out.
	Google's algorithms were able to detect that those were all part of a larger narrative.
	And that larger narrative got bigger when you add more stories to it.
	And so the new stories that would come on that and attach themselves onto that story structure would get an amplification boost.
	And as a result, they would go to the top of the search index for news, for Google search, and it's remained that way ever since.
	And that's the reason why if you search anything political, even remotely political, you're going to find...
	The mainstream media articles at the very top.
	That's correct.
	And if you're not the mainstream media, you don't show up at all.
	You have to go to page 7 to find any dissent.
	And nobody goes past the first few entries, let alone the first few pages.
	That's right.
	So you're absolutely right.
	Zach Voorhees, you're doing a major service, so we're going to have to talk again.
	And especially when you're...
	I will help you publicize your algorithm.
	I would beg you to do it for the written word as well as the video word.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Okay, thank you.
	It is the handful of courageous who save societies.
	That's been the history of the world.
	Zach Voorhees is one of them.
	The book is Google Leaks.
	He said it was Trump derangement syndrome which started it.
	I want you to know, I've never used the term never, not once in the entire Trump era that I used Trump derangement syndrome.
	I now believe it exists.
	People lost their minds.
	Fine people lost their minds because of their hatred of this man.
	People who agreed with virtually everything he did as president hated the man.
	And it caused people to say things, to alienate themselves from loved ones that they never would have said under normal circumstances.
	Or even caused some conservatives in other arenas to vote for Joe Biden.
	Most destructive president in American history.
	We return.
	This is Albert Mobler for townhall.com.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times has put forward a horrifyingly honest argument about abortion.
	The headline it ran was this.
	The right to an abortion means the right to have it for any reason.
	They intend for abortion to be available for any reason, at any time, or for no reason.
	Their focus was a law passed in 2017 by the legislature in Ohio, a law that seeks to prevent abortion on the grounds that the unborn baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
	The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times is saying that it is wrong to try to protect unborn babies that are diagnosed with Down syndrome by such a law.
	Why is it wrong?
	Because, says the editorial board, it interferes with what is a greater good than human dignity in the womb.
	And that means a woman's absolute autonomy.
	And what the paper claims is her constitutional right to destroy the life within her.
	Like I said, this editorial is honest.
	It's also horrifying.
	I'm Albert Moeller.
	This is really crucially important.
	The lessons of the last 20 years is that we are peerless.
	Our military, when it comes to the application of military force at the tactical or even operational level, has no match in the world, especially Operation Anaconda.
	The October 2001 operation, when we went in there with just a couple of hundred CIA paramilitaries and guys from Delta and from Bragg, and we leveraged 21,000 members of the Northern Alliance and we took down the Taliban government, that was textbook.
	Nobody, not even Julius Caesar, not Napoleon could do it better.
	But since then, at the strategic level, Kurt, it's been a disaster.
	It's been an utter disaster.
	And frankly, I'm worried about the tactical level.
	I'm worried that whether or not we still maintain the tactical capabilities of the That we need for high-intensity combat operations against peer-level competitors like the Chinese.
	Especially, and I write about this in my Monday Town Hall column, Dr. Gorka, especially when you look at the Navy.
	For nearly 70 years, it has glided on the legacy of the military triumphs.
	In the Pacific Theater over the Japanese.
	And we relied on, we consoled ourselves, saying, well, you know, the Chinese technology's getting better.
	They're getting more and more ships.
	But we have a naval tradition.
	You know what?
	So did the Carthaginians.
	Okay?
	The Romans had no navy until they found a Carthaginian warship that had run aground.
	They copied it.
	They trained and they beat the hell out of Carthage.

	I never heard of a doctor dropping a patient.
	Yeah, yeah.

	Wow.
	I assume that this doctor would never prescribe something as safe as ivermectin either.
	All right, everybody.
