My hesitation is because of the fact that I fear that some of you will think I'm exaggerating.
I took an oath 38 years ago when I began broadcasting.
Never to exaggerate.
My commitment to truth is a foundation of my life, a foundation, and I believe I owe it to God, so that adds a lot of pressure on me, but even exaggeration.
So that is a preface to my statement that the left in the United States, not liberals, the left, Liberals vote for the left, but they're not the left.
Wishes to create what leftists have always created.
Always.
There is no exception.
The left creates police states.
The evidence is so obvious, but most Americans, or at least many Americans, I would say most, are not aware.
of what is happening.
And it gives you an insight into the question of how did people in other countries where dictatorships and totalitarian regimes took over, how did they let it happen?
It happens incrementally and one can shrug off any one of the instances as either an aberration or As nothing.
Merrick Garland, who turns out to be a thug, a left-wing thug.
I'm shocked, personally.
I bought the propaganda that he was a kind, moderate man.
He's a thug.
He's a Leninist, which means the party uber alis.
Not America, uber alis.
Not truth, uber alis.
Not the Constitution uber alles, the party uber alles.
To threaten parents who yell at school board members with incarceration and prosecution, or prosecution and incarceration, is quite remarkable, but not shocking in the least.
There's another example.
It's happening every day, these examples.
I wrote about this a year and a half ago.
Dress rehearsal for a police state.
That's how I looked at the quarantining of Americans, the shutting them in their homes, the shutting down of businesses.
I wrote it when...
Most Americans thought this is really necessary for health, necessary for safety.
And it turns out it was not necessary for safety.
On the contrary, it may have actually exacerbated the virus.
We don't know.
The beauty of the left and the pro-quarantining people...
And the lockdown, folks, is that you can never say that you can never catch them.
If 600,000 Americans are reported to have been killed by the virus, they say, well, if we had not had lockdowns, it would be way more.
So they always have an answer.
Nothing fails on the left.
Trillions and trillions of dollars are spent in welfare and it doesn't work.
So the answer is we didn't spend enough.
We didn't lock down enough.
And people buy it.
People buy it in a large measure because it's all they hear.
You have to listen to talk radio or read the Wall Street Journal editorial page or go on the internet.
And search out the many, many profound and thoughtful conservative sites.
But a lot of people don't do that.
They rely on ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post.
And that's all they read or hear.
So it was right.
I was right.
It is, in fact, it was the lockdowns were a dress rehearsal for a police state.
And now it continues.
Los Angeles has now followed New York, only reinforcing my contempt for big cities.
A contempt, as I wrote in a recent column shared by the Bible in its description of the big city and the Tower of Babel.
But of course, if you went to college, you were taught that anyone who cites the Bible is a thumper, is an idiot, is beneath contempt in the intellectual realm.
But you, who know nothing about the Bible, and make up wisdom as you go, from what you hear from your foolish teachers, nearly all of whom, but not all of whom, are fools.
Often left-wing fools, meaning they are supportive of the police state.
So here is another example.
I covered on the Male-Female Hour Wednesday and on a previous hour a very disturbing thing, and that is the Senate hearings with Facebook, which owns Instagram, about the...
Creation of a toxic atmosphere for teenage girls by having all these Instagram models that are on Instagram that are creating a toxic mentality in girls who have a poor body image and even leading 6% of them, I always wonder how they come up with these numbers, 6% to think about suicide.
Because they have poor body image exacerbated or created by Instagram.
So without reviewing my thesis about how to raise daughters, the important point is this is only, only a vehicle to control the big tech more.
That's all it is.
It was reinforced, this belief of mine, by this Facebook whistleblower, this woman, right?
You may have seen her.
She's now a hero on the left.
What is her name?
Hogan is her last name.
Anyway, Fox News reports, journalist Glenn Greenwald, who is on the left, but who believes in truth, Feels the Facebook whistleblower is a tool to halt content, quote, which offends the sensibilities and beliefs of Democratic Party leaders and their liberal followers.
It's exactly right.
In a substack entry headline, Democrats and media do not want to weaken Facebook, just commandeer its power to censor.
Greenwald wrote whistleblower Frances Hogan, that's her name, is being embraced by the left because she helps advance the quest for more control over online political discourse.
Democrats do not make any secret of their intent to co-opt Silicon Valley to police political discourse and silence their enemies.
This is Greenwald writing.
Hawken is just their latest tool to exploit for their scheme.
To use the power of social media giants to control political discourse in accordance with their own views and interests.
Hogan, a former civic project manager for Facebook's misinformation team, who leaked internal corporate documents to the Wall Street Journal for a series of damning reports against the social media giant, Told lawmakers that she believes her former employer is a national security issue.
There you go.
So more control over what is on the Internet.
So it's coming at us from every direction.
The creation of something, to say it's unconstitutional is to understate the case.
It's so not...
Bothersome to so many Americans.
Oh, it's unconstitutional.
It's evil.
Passport mandates.
Canada is making all travel on any public conveyance illegal to people who are not vaccinated.
And soon it will apply to children.

The last three years of the Bush administration, I was the assistant US trade rep for the Bush administration for public affairs, meaning I was just the spokesperson.
And forever, we would hear why we couldn't do things.
We couldn't renegotiate NAFTA because, well, it was signed and sealed and we couldn't do this.
And I get it.
But that was the mentality.
Frankly, that's the mentality that permeates government.
And I get it.
And so I was always like, OK, I get it.
This is stupid.
But we do have a signed deal.
And you got a guy like Trump that comes in, and you tell him, well, you know, there's this signed deal, and he says, so what?
It was one of the most refreshing things about it.
And it was just, the thing that was so weird is, if you think about it, why aren't more, because...
I don't think you should tear up everything for the sake of it.
No, but just ask the questions.
Right.
Ask the questions.
Why do we just keep doing things the way that we always have?
Why don't we challenge the system?
Can it do better?
Can we do better for the American people?
Can we be more efficient and a better steward of their tax dollars?
Can we deliver a better product?
Do we still need to do what we're doing anymore?
Right?
I mean, think about this.
Trump's view was...
You haven't modernized an agreement.
When NAFTA was signed, there was no internet.
So we're dealing with problems that didn't exist then that, frankly, when you signed the deal, you couldn't have even thought of.
So why not modernize it?
On behalf of America, that's what we're supposed to be doing.
And at the end of the day, it all worked out.

I'm the guy you say.
I'm Dennis Prager, and I'm telling you about what is happening in the United States.
There is no exception to the left creating tyranny anywhere it has taken over, and it is now happening in America.
There's a saying about, in Hollywood, that somebody or some woman, some man, was an overnight sensation after 40 years.
It's a cool line.
It's a way of saying, you think the person's an overnight sensation, but they've been preparing for it.
While you were not aware of them, For decades.
That's the left.
It seems like it's overnight that we are becoming an unfree country.
The United States should not be listed on the Freedom Watch, I believe it is.
They have an annual listing of free countries.
The United States should be listed for the first time ever as partially free.
People are not free to say what they believe in the United States of America without staggering consequences.
And now in the name of health, the most elementary freedoms are being denied.
And people are fine with it.
The whole safety logic is sick.
I'm vaccinated, but I can't even be in the same restaurant as the unvaccinated.

People dying from airplane trips?
A third of pilots, it is assumed, are not vaccinated.
I know it's a very big thing to ask, but pilots, you could save this country in some way.
By not getting vaccinated.
And if they fire you, then they're going to have one-third fewer flights.
I'll tell you this.
If they do ban flying in the United States, what we have to do, and I've never even thought about this to give you an idea of how much I believe if we don't fight, it's over.
We will have to simply clog airports.
Access to airports.
If we can't fly, nobody flies.
That's it.
Arrested will get arrested.
Father, grandfather, peace-loving, law-obedient, moderate citizen all my life, and I will be prepared to be arrested to block access to airports.
Tens of thousands of people will have to do this in every city.
We will end transportation in the United States if you do not allow us to fly or to go by train or by bus or what have you.
By the way, it would be very interesting to see if you can't fly, will you be able to ride a subway in New York City?
People are certainly closer together.
On the subway than on an airplane.
What will happen then?
Will there be a check for your vaccine passport to every single person who enters the New York City subway?
How long will the line be there?
This has nothing to do with health.
It is that everything the left does is a lie.
It is done in the name of health.
It is all about suppression.
It is a practice run for a police state.
If you don't see that, you're naive, because it's easy to be naive.
It's a warm bath naivete.
And who doesn't like a warm bath?
And then it'll be too late, as it is with all totalitarian groups.
Things can be very, very dark because of the left.
The left is evil.
It has always been evil.
There is no exception.
Liberals are naive and vote for the left.
Liberals are the problem.
The left alone could never win an election.

Hi.
You know, the former acting attorney general of the United States testified under oath.
That Donald Trump tried to subvert a democratic election.
Now, that to me sounds like a greater threat to my freedom than a reversible vaccine mandate.
Well, we disagree.
I'm just curious if it bothers you.
It bothers me.
I don't believe the former acting attorney general.
The president never told anybody to do anything violent in Congress, in the Capitol.
No, he didn't.
That's right.
He said, in fact, be peaceful, correct?
Wait, wait, wait.
Please answer.
Did he say, yes, he challenged the election?
What is wrong with that?
He challenged the election and tried to get the Justice Department to overthrow it, according to the acting Attorney General under oath.
Fine.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it could have happened.
If it's true, it's awful.
It doesn't compare to what the left is doing.
I sit in amazement.

Freedomhouse.org, that lists countries' freedom rating.

To my amazement, and deep sadness.
Inexpressibly deep sadness.
I think the United States now, because of the left, Should be rated partially free.
It has always been rated as free.
It's unfortunately a perfect introduction to my guest, because there is a group that is exactly fighting for freedom.
It worked out perfectly, introducing my guest, Alliance Defending Freedom.
Senior Counsel and the Director for Academic Freedom at the Alliance Defending Freedom, ADF, is on the line, Tyson Leinhofer.
Tyson, welcome back to my show.
What do you think of the introduction?
Do you think America should be rated free or partially free?
Well, I think, Dennis, it depends on your perspective.
I mean, here's the good news.
The good news is our Constitution still stands, and we still have courts that are willing to enforce our First Amendment freedoms.
But you're absolutely right.
There are forces at work right now trying to change those freedoms and trying to reduce this from a free country to a partially free country.
And that's not what our Constitution provides.
That's not what most Americans want, and I think Americans, I'm encouraged to see Americans standing up and saying, we want a free country.
That's what we've always been, and we want to retain that rating.
The ADF provides free legal services to people whose freedoms have been under attack.
It's a spectacularly effective and good organization.
I don't know if you've heard me ever say, Tyson, my theory, good people are divided into three groups.
Those who fight, those who help the fighters, and those who do nothing.
Those who do nothing is the largest group.
And that those who help the fighters are doing just as important work as those who fight.
You're fighters, and we have to help you.
That is how I regard it.
There's an ADF banner, by the way, on my website.
And that's the easiest way.
Obviously, you could call as well.
I'll give you the number in a moment.
So you are now working on a case in Loudoun County.
I'd like to learn about it and my listeners to learn about it.
Sure.
Back in May, Loudoun County was considering adopting a gender identity policy, which would force teachers and students and all staff at Loudoun County schools to refer to students using any pronoun that the student demands and speak things that they think are untrue and harmful to their students.
And so Tanner Cross, a longtime teacher at Loudoun County, spoke out at a public board meeting.
And less than 48 hours later, they...
The school suspended him simply for speaking out at the board meeting and expressing his concern with this policy.
We filed a lawsuit challenging that suspension, and thankfully Loudoun County Court entered an injunction and reinstated Tanner to his position.
But unfortunately, Loudoun didn't take the hint, and they...
Adopted the policy, and so now we're challenging that policy on behalf of Tanner and Monica Gill and Kimberly Wright, who are also teachers at the school, claiming that it violates the teachers' rights not to be compelled to speak messages that they disagree with.
All right, let me understand.
And so, and I want my listeners to understand something important about this.
It's not only I demand that you refer to me as he, though I may look like a she, or she if I look like a he, but if I say I'm non-binary, you must say they.
Is that correct?
Not only they, but any other made-up pronoun that the student demands.
And what's really important to understand about this policy, Dennis, is that there is no criteria.
The criteria is, what does the student demand?
And you must immediately, every staff member and student must participate in this social transition of this student, whether it be from male to female or female to male or any other made-up gender.
And they must participate without parental knowledge or approval, without any diagnosis by a medical professional.
And this is from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade.
And that's very, very concerning because we know that the science does not...
Indicate that there is value and that it's beneficial to socially transition these young children without any parental involvement or any medical diagnosis.
Right, right.
But look, the issue is freedom.
And we're going to get back.
ADF, go please right now to my website.

One of the most important parts of my life, because I don't like a gratuitous pain, any muscle or joint pain, it is so effective, and it's so effective so fast that they actually say if it doesn't work in three weeks, it probably won't work for you.

Their track record of defending freedom is perhaps unique in terms of legal work going to the Supreme Court, etc.
Defending a teacher, and it worked.
That's Virginia outside of Washington, D.C., correct?
Is that right?
That's correct.
I'm speaking to senior counsel at ADF, Tyson Leinhofer.
So the teacher, what did they do?
Did they say, you're suspended?
You're fired?
What?
Yeah, so the day after he spoke, they told him to come into HR, and they said you are, they put him on administrative leave because they said he was a disruption to the school.
But that's just not true.
He had went to school the following day and taught his kids and played t-ball with them, and there was no problems.
The only problem cited was that several parents disagreed with what he had to say.
Well, if they disagree, you have the right to go to the public meeting and state your own opinion of that policy.
And what did he have to say?
I'm not going to be told.
I'm not going to be mandated, to use the current jargon.
About how to call a student who says, I am not a he or a she?
Yeah, he said three things, Dennis.
He said, I love all my students, I don't want to lie to them, and I don't want to call a boy a girl.
That's what he said.
And for that, he was suspended, unfortunately.
But, again, thankfully, the court reinstated him and held that the school likely...
Right, but as you...
Forgive me.
I know I'm interrupting.
Forgive me.
But tell me, I want to restate.
It has not affected the school's policies.
That's correct.
That policy is still in effect, and we are currently challenging that, and we're waiting for the court to set a hearing on our preliminary injunction motion where we ask them to enter an order not allowing the school to force teachers to speak things they disagree with.
Or to speak things that are manifestly Non-factual.
There's no such thing as a person who is a they.
Or now, as you point out, they make up on a Z. Z-I-E. That's another one that is used.
And the teacher has to say it.
That's what's mind-blowing.
You have to say it or you lose your job.
That's correct.
And the policy actually says transgender or gender-expansive students.
That's right.
Gender-expansive.
Yes, exactly right.
So what are you doing about the school policy?
So we have challenged it.
We filed a lawsuit asking the court to enter injunctions, stopping the school from enforcing the policy against teachers.
We're asking for a very narrow accommodation, Dennis.
The teachers will use whatever name the student chooses.
They just don't want to be forced to use pronouns which are inconsistent with a student's biological sex.
That's it.
They will love every student.
They will treat every student with dignity and respect and teach them.
They just don't want to refer to it.
By the way, is this operative in elementary school?
It absolutely is.
Operative from kindergarten through 12th grade.
So a kindergarten boy says, I'm a girl.
The teacher is fired if they don't call the boy a girl.
Five years old.
Correct.
And even more concerning is they are prohibited from telling the parents about that or asking the parents...
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
That's mind-blowing.

Because there is a Washington Post story out that Trump is running a wink and a nod campaign, David Drucker.
Trump, talked out of announcing a 2024 bid for now, settles on a wink and a nod on official candidacy.
What do you make of the headline?
Well, it's some good reporting, but Trump has been running a wink and a nod candidacy since the day he left the White House.
Pretty clear to me when I interviewed him for the book in May that he was interested in running again.
He asked me, why do people think I'm not running?
I said, who says you're not running?
Let's just talk about other people that may run if you don't, which I finally got him to agree to do.
How long did that take?
You know, about three and a half hours.
Yeah, I mean, you gotta...
I got him there.
So, I was told yesterday by a confidant of the former president that he is going to run and that if he changes his mind because of health, but that he looks in great shape.
If he does run, he's going to destroy anyone who runs against him.
I mean, just take them out at the knees and turn on them.
And if he doesn't run, he'll be supportive of them, hoping to freeze them for a while.
Consistent with your understanding?
Yeah, well, look, first of all, we know that any time he's in a campaign, he tries to take people out at the knees.
Again, nothing new.
I think the thing to understand about President Trump, former President Trump, is that he loves being in the arena.
He loves holding his big rallies.
He hasn't tired of politics.
He didn't want to retire from politics.
And unlike presidents in the past who have lost, he's simply not going to do so.
There is this question of, is America becoming a safer country?

Too often, it's not common, but too often it has led to bad, truly dangerous reactions with regard to the heart.
So the New York Times lied and said, Who has Finland has now joined?
Yeah, I didn't know.
I knew they were voting on it.
So it's now three countries that are not giving the Moderna vaccine to children.
We want to do that in the U.S. because I believe from the bottom of my heart that the health authorities in this country don't give a damn about children, just as teachers in general don't give a damn about children.
Just for the record.
Teachers unions care as much about children as the Soviets cared about workers.
New York Times lied, therefore, a gigantic lie.
It said that 900,000 children were hospitalized in the last year.
Actually, a year and a few months.
So now they've corrected it.
It's actually 63,000.
So they lied by a factor of, what is 63?
Well, I'll do 60 into 90. 100 times 60 is 600,000.
It's 150 times lie.
Exaggerate.
That's what they've corrected because it's so embarrassing.
It's so obviously a lie.
But there will be people who will still cite it.
It will be cited forever.

New York Times lies because it's on the left.

What the lab tries to do is they just use emotion.
They try to make you so mad that you stop thinking.

Because you're mad at somebody.
And the left just reels you in.
Oh, this person is racist.
Oh, this person is homophobic.
Oh, this person is xenophobic.
And all this kind of stuff.
It's constantly, it's this constant divisiveness.
It's this constant state of anger just to keep you mad.

They just want you to hate Republicans.
They want you to hate black conservatives.
They want you to hate white conservatives.
Meanwhile, they're hating on you.
It's amazing to me how the left gets away with this stuff.
And it's amazing to me how so many people continuously fall for it.
You notice every election cycle, the left will blow up, the media will blow up a story about a black man or whatever.
Maybe it's an issue with cops or whatever it may be, but you have to understand something.
And I'm not saying these stories like George Floyd and all this kind of stuff shouldn't be brought to light, but you have to understand the reason why they're brought to light isn't because they happen all the time.
Because police have millions of stops and deal with, you know, They have millions of confrontations with criminals and none every single year.
So when something like a George Floyd incident makes it onto the news, it's not because it's normative, it's because it's extremely rare.

You gotta try to be happy no matter what is on.
It doesn't help to be he down.
That's the easy way out.
Original lyrics.
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy hour.
Yes, my friend, it's a very dark time in our beloved country.
That is true.
I delineate that fact on a regular basis.
So you have to work on your happiness that much more.
You can't give in.
To a certain extent, the motto of one's life should be, you can't give in.
That's right.
Can't give in.
Happiness Hour is here for 22 years because the happy make the world better, because it's a moral obligation to pursue happiness for the sake of everybody around you.
I immerse myself in dark news, bad stuff that's happening in society, and yet I walk around a happy man.
Because what is my choice?
I interviewed a North Korean defector, a woman in her 20s, a North Korean.
One of the ways you know that she was from North Korea is she remains extremely thin.
She's beautiful, but very thin.
Just thought I'd note that.
I interviewed her on the radio show and in an incredible fireside chat, which you should look up.
I have 210 or 208 fireside chats.
I do it every week on the internet.
This woman was trafficked.
That's what the Chinese do.
They take the women.
Chinese society.
It is morally troubled to understate the case.
Not all cultures are morally equivalent.
And Judeo-Christian society has done better on the whole.
When North Koreans, if they make it out of North Korea into China, the women are raped, trafficked, etc.
The men are sent back to be tortured to death.
Nice, huh?
She was 13. She was trafficked.
Raped.
Watched her mother raped.
Somehow got out.
Got finally to South Korea.
So I asked her, how is it that you're happy?
And she said, in effect, what's my choice?
That's exactly how I've always felt.
What's your choice?
Everything in life, virtually everything is a choice.
The only thing that is not a choice is what happens to you.
But everything else is a choice.
How we react to what happens to us is our choice.
I choose to be happy in this dark period in America.
That's correct.
What's my choice?
Be depressed?
Among other things, then the bad guys win.
They would love that.
Anyway, they're depressed.
They're angry and unhappy.
I don't want to join their ranks.
Alright, so that's just a way of saying why the Happiness Hour continues to be so valid in this very, very dark time.
In American history, you still have to extract the happiness you can, and there's much happiness to be extracted.
By the way, fighting makes you happy.
I'm not going to develop that now.
I've done that on a number of occasions.
Fighting makes you happy.
You have announced you're not helpless.
Today's topic on the Happiness Hour is loneliness.
Here's a report from Pew Research.
Rising share of U.S. adults are living without a spouse or partner.
Now, it's about income, to a large extent, on key economic outcomes single adults at prime working age increasingly lag behind those who are married or cohabiting.
We have a video on that very subject, the case for marriage, or why men should marry, I think, not the case for marriage.
But it's true for both sexes.
And on this program, as we are based in science and reality, there are only two sexes.
Those who say otherwise are attempting to brainwash you with a lie that is so absurd.
That it proves Goebbels' point that any lie said enough is believed by many people.
There are only two sexes, ladies and gentlemen.
Anyway, that's the issue.
Loneliness.
So if you're lonely, what caused it?
I'm very curious.
If you know somebody who is, I want to know what caused it.
Why are you alone?
Now, if you're widowed at a relatively late age, obviously that's not the subject of the hour.
And even the widowed can have friends.
The widowed miss, if they had a good marriage, the tragedy of losing the spouse that you loved.
Immeasurable.
I meet women, usually women, tell me that they just lost their spouse, or they lost their spouse five years ago, and I never let it just pass.
I go, I just want you to know how much my heart goes out to you on that loss.
But it doesn't mean that you are necessarily Lonely.
That your existential state is one of loneliness, because there still could be so many people in your life.
So my question is, why are there more lonely people, according to all reports today, than ever before?
There are fewer married people, certainly.
Even fewer cohabiting.
Now, they're more cohabiting, but it doesn't make up for the fewer married.
One of my reasons for contempt for the feminist movement is that it told women that they don't need men, producing staggering numbers of lonely women who believed career could substitute for the desire to link up with a man.
It was truly a stupid movement.
It wasn't a movement for female equality.
Everybody believes in the equality, and every decent human, and there are plenty of decent humans, believes in the equality of human beings, regardless of sex or race.
So, if that's the movement that succeeded half a century ago, that's not the movement.
The movement was to break down the family, as we know it, and to break down all roles of males and females to teach women they don't need men, they need a career.
It was basically another left-wing movement.
It was hard to realize because its goals sounded so noble.
A lot of lonely women bought into I don't need a man.
Wake up one day at 50. There was a woman who was 50 who called me up when the subject was raised on my show.
She had two graduate degrees.
She was a CEO and found that going back to her apartment or home alone every night.
Did not quite fulfill her deepest yearnings in life.
So the question for the Happiness Hour is, who's lonely and how did they get that way?
How did you get that way?
People open up to me on my show.
A, you're anonymous.
B, I honor what you have to say.
If you know somebody lonely, how did they get to that state?
That's the question, because people need people.
They're the luckiest people in the world.
1-8 Prager 776-877-243-7776 The last three years of the Bush administration,
I was the assistant U.S. trade rep for the Bush administration for public affairs, meaning I was just the spokesperson.
And forever we would hear why we couldn't do things.
We couldn't renegotiate NAFTA because, well, it was signed and sealed and we couldn't do this.
And I get it.
But that was the mentality.
And frankly, that's the mentality that permeates government.
And I get it.
And so I was always like, okay, I get it.
This is stupid, but we do have a signed deal.
And you get a guy like Trump that comes in and you tell him, well, you know, there's this signed deal.
And he says, so what?
It was one of the most refreshing things about it.
And it was just...
The thing that was so weird is if you think about it, why aren't more – because I don't think you should tear up everything for the sake of it.
No, but just ask the questions.
Right.
Ask the questions.
Why do we just keep doing things the way that we always have?
Why don't we challenge the system?
Can it do better?
Can we do better for the American people?
Can we be more efficient and a better steward of their tax dollars?
Can we deliver a better product?
Do we still need to do what we're doing anymore?
Right?
I mean think about this.
Trump's view was – You haven't modernized an agreement.
When NAFTA was signed, there was no internet.
So we're dealing with problems that didn't exist then that, frankly, when you signed the deal, you couldn't have even thought of.
So why not modernize it?
On behalf of America, that's what we're supposed to be doing.
And at the end of the day, it all worked out.
And if you are in the car industry… You're getting a better deal now as an American worker in that industry.
If you're a dairy farmer, you're getting a better deal.
If you work in the technology field, your IP is more protected.
But it was a way of thinking that had never come in before.
Because previously, you would have had some guy that would have been like, okay, here's 18 PowerPoints and this is the process.
And Trump was like, no, that's not, if it's not working, screw it.

Dan, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yeah.
So, I'm 60 years old.
I've never been married.
No children.
And I said, I've got to be the loneliest man on the planet Earth.
It's misery.
What about friends?
Who?
Friends.
F-R-I-E-N-D-S. You know, just complete isolation is what I... Alright, good.
So you're the perfect caller, unfortunately.
Why do you not...
Alright, so we'll go through each stage.
Why do you not have friends?
It's been developed, you know, just...
Through life, I've become antisocial.
I've had four seven-year relationships with women.
I think the fact that I never would get married, I would never have children, and I'm not sure if it's 100% true, but my parents divorced when I was 15 years old.
They had just had two young kids, and my father walked away and met a young woman.
Walked away from the family and us.
And most of my life, I believe the impact of that.
I would never want to do that to another soul.
Even though I walked away from every relationship, but obviously I didn't have children.
You know, so there's a number of dynamics, but just the last five years, just everything cumulative.
You're just like in misery.
So, in retrospect, you should have married one of the four, correct?
Yes.
You probably should have married two of the four.
I probably...
I could have married definitely three, should have married the first.
Right, exactly.
And why didn't you?
I tell you, when the father left, I just...
The emotions.
I thank God for them.
Each gal went on, got married, had children.
I'm grateful and thankful that I did that to them.
I can't explain it.
I never really grew up, never matured.
Did you ever go for therapy?
Yeah, many times over the years.
Right, and they were probably worthless.
See, if I were your therapist, I would have yelled at you at every session, and you either would have gotten better or fired me.
I would have said, grow up.
You're your problem, not your parents' divorce.
Amen.
Amen.
That's right.
That's exactly amen.
I salute you.
A lot of people say, and I'm not saying this as self-referential, If you think it is, I'll live with it, but it's not the reason.
I get comments often, I wish I heard you 25 years ago.
And that gnaws at me because I wish they heard me 25 years ago too.
Most therapists are incompetent.
In fact, many therapists are damaging.
They're there to massage you, not to help you.
Massage is not a bad analogy because the massage that feels good the whole time is probably not helping you.
It's when they use their elbows that is most help in most cases.
I mean, it's fine if you want to just feel good at a massage.
I don't have an issue with that.
But if you're there for therapeutic massage, it's going to hurt.
Yep.

You know, Dr. Fauci is, what's the good word, the way to say it?

But he'll do an interview with anybody, and he says all sorts of stuff.
Well, he did an interview with me last week in which he said he'll never resign.
See?
He'll do an interview with anybody.

But he's been here many, many times.
And I always try and give him tough questions.
But I went through the many CDC, FDA failures.
And they are failures.

Have you lost confidence in him, Byron?
Absolutely.
I mean, here's the thing.
When I want to know something, like, okay, what is the extent of breakthrough infections?
What percentage of deaths are people who are double vaccinated or fully vaccinated?
What percentage of hospitalizations?
A lot of this information is rather difficult to find, in part because Fauci has not been a reliable source of the best information.
And I think a lot of the debate that goes on, the uninformed debate that goes on, and I try not to be part of that, is as a result of the government not being a credible source of the best information.

You're finding it hard, or did you say people sort of drop out of your life, or you drop out of others' lives with each succeeding year?
Is that correct?

But when you're afflicted by this disease, you're not yourself.
You change.
You become different.

It's an impossible reality.

You don't know what's going on.
You don't know what's happening.

Does your wife recognize you?
I think so, yes.
Does she recognize her situation?
Well, it's hard.
There's no way to tell.
She can't articulate anything.
Well, is she angry?
She will have moments of anger, but it's not related to anything.
It's just she'll bang things.
Well, it might be her frustration at her condition.
Did she go through an angry period?
Oh, no, never.
My wife's never been angry.
No, no, no.
I'm talking about since the Alzheimer's, not before that.
Oh, okay.
Since the Alzheimer's, there's been an increase in sort of outbursts that don't make sense.
Right, exactly.
Okay, so let me ask you, you simply, you never leave her?
Oh, no, never.
Well, no, of course.
I'm a contractor.
I've got a business to run and all that.
So when you leave her, is there a caretaker?
Yeah, my daughter is here part-time, and she will fill in for me when I'm not here.
Can you have dinner with friends while somebody takes...
No, I don't socialize.
Why?
That's the only part I didn't follow.

I don't have a good answer to that question.

The last three years of the Bush administration, I was the assistant US trade rep for the Bush administration for public affairs, meaning I was just the spokesperson.
And forever, we would hear why we couldn't do things.
We couldn't renegotiate NAFTA because, well, it was signed and sealed and we couldn't do this.
And I get it.
But that was the mentality.
Frankly, that's the mentality that permeates government.
And I get it.
And so I was always like, OK, I get it.
This is stupid.
But we do have a signed deal.
And you got a guy like Trump that comes in and you tell him, well, you know, there's this signed deal and he says, so what?
It was one of the most refreshing things about it.
And it was just, the thing that was so weird is if you think about it, why aren't more, because...
I don't think you should tear up everything for the sake of it.
No, but just ask the questions.
Right.
Ask the questions.
Why do we just keep doing things the way that we always have?
Why don't we challenge the system?
Can it do better?
Can we do better for the American people?
Can we be more efficient and a better steward of their tax dollars?
Can we deliver a better product?
Do we still need to do what we're doing anymore?
Right?
I mean, think about this.
Trump's view was...
You haven't modernized an agreement.
When NAFTA was signed, there was no internet.
So we're dealing with problems that didn't exist then that, frankly, when you signed the deal, you couldn't have even thought of.
So why not modernize it?
On behalf of America, that's what we're supposed to be doing.
And at the end of the day, it all worked out.
And if you are in the car industry...
You're getting a better deal now as an American worker in that industry.

My friends, this is the Happiness Hour with an unhappy subject.
By the way, it's not the first time.
A happiness hour has to deal with unhappiness, or it's phony.
Alright?
I'm answering my technical director, who was noting, not complaining, not critiquing, not maligning, rather noting the serious nature of the Happiness hour today.
That's correct.
I agree with that.
I'm aware of it.
Look, if I had a health hour, half the time we would be discussing unhealth.
How can you talk about health if you don't talk about sickness?
Right?
You like unhealth more than sickness.
I agree with you.
That's why I used it.
Oh my god, there's a bandit walking by.
Unbelievable.
Sunglasses and a mask.
It's got every telltale sign of a crook.
Yes, how'd you get lonely?
That's the question here.

Let's go to Fred in Cleveland.
Hello, Fred of Cleveland.
Good afternoon.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
We've been married for 50 years.
We're both in our early 70s, and for the last 15 to 20 years, it's been pretty much a one-way marriage.
My wife has serious health issues and doesn't like to address them to the point that they need to be.
It causes an awful lot of friction between the two of us, and it's come to the point where we're just living together and going through the steps.
Just plain married.
No, we were married in our early 20s, and we have two kids that are bi-coastal, one on each end of the country, and it's next to impossible to go see the one on the west coast anymore, and very difficult to get onto the east coast child also.
Why is that?
Just the time constraints.
Driving to Washington isn't too bad.
Flying to California we did just a couple weeks ago, and her COPD is in such bad shape, and she turned hypoxic in the aircraft and didn't want to listen about putting on her oxygen.
So I can't take her flying anymore.
Do you have friends?
Do you have friends?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
Do you see them?
Yes, I do.
Well, thank God for that.
Yes, I do.
Do you talk to your kids, or not often?
I talk to our son probably once or twice a week.
Alright, so in other words, you have people in your life, but your marriage is a place of loneliness.
Is that a fair summary?
Absolutely.
And what keeps you from divorcing?
Commitment?
Commitment, yes.
I hear you.
You're a good man.
I don't know what to say.
For this man, I don't have advice.
Short as considering some act of self-injury at this time.
Folks, I have no problem with the fact that happiness hours so often deal with people's issues.
That's...
This is the human condition.
Read my book on happiness.
Happiness is a serious problem.
I wrote it 22 years ago.
People tell me, almost at every lecture, that it changed their life.
I'm not trying to sell you a book.
I want you to read the book.
Buy a used copy for all I care.
Then I don't get any money.
Just read it.
You see, that's why I have my attitude from such an early age...
I so knew that misery is the human condition that I was ecstatic when I wasn't miserable.
Play the jingle, will you?
If nothing's horrific, life is terrific.
This is, it's not a joke, even though we have a jingle about it.
Yes, that's my attitude.
issue.
Knowing history, knowing the human condition, in high school I developed this attitude.
So I pinch myself every day that's good.
But this is misery, well, what Dostoevsky wrote, to live is to suffer.
So we still have to work on whatever happiness we can achieve in the midst of that.
I had a remarkable woman on the show, I'd like to have her on again, whose wonderful, wonderful husband is ALS. He can only blink when he communicates through blinking words onto a computer.
She came in for the happiness hour because she spoke about her ability, even with this, to be happy.
That was greatness.
That was necessary.
So, yes, we will discuss the difficult, the problematic, etc.
But loneliness is a curse, and you must work to alleviate it.

But you have to understand something.
And I'm not saying these stories like George Floyd and all this kind of stuff shouldn't be brought to light.
But you have to understand the reason why they're brought to light isn't because they happen all the time.
Because police have millions of stops and deal with, you know, they have millions of confrontations with criminals and none every single year.
So when something like a George Floyd incident makes it onto the news, it's not because it's normative.
It's because it's extremely rare.

Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager.
It is a pleasure and an honor to be with you.
This is the hour that in some ways I most enjoy because...
I never know what's going to be sent my way.
The variety of topics is almost without end, but that's not true.
I assume there's an end.
There are topics, after all, I cannot discuss with great intelligence, such as, for example, string theory.
And the people...
Who know what that is, even, is a small percentage of humanity.
It's in the realm of physics, and I never quite mastered it.
Alright, anyway, whatever's on your mind.
And, ah, man, I met this week in Minneapolis.
Jeff of St. Paul.
Hello.
Hello, Dennis.
Great.
Great to speak with you.
So, let me ask you, was that the first time that you had been with me in person?
No, I've seen you and been with you probably half a dozen times, including a cigar smoke in Pasadena.
Really?
Yes.
Oh, wait, you came out for that evening because of no safe spaces?
Yes, indeed.
That's exactly right.
Oh, right.
Wow.
So, it's no big deal meeting me.
No.
Well, it is a big deal.
Every time.
It's like Alan said at our meeting.
It's wonderful.
Every time I can see you, I take advantage of you.
Well, that's very sweet of you.
So, yes.
So, I just want everybody to know I'm not stealing your thunder because I have questions for you.
I told you to call me two days ago in Minnesota.
He has a PragerU license plate.
And people around the country have sent me, but we're not up to 50, we're not even up to 10. But we are moving there, and if the number ever reaches even just 20, we will have a PragerU license plate convention in the middle of the country.
We'll all drive out.
So you have a PragerU license in Minnesota.
The question to you was, and I told you to call me, have you had any experiences as a result?
Yes, I have had many experiences, and I have to tell you, just to preface, it's been a tremendous source of happiness, and it's really helped me come out of a conservative closet, as you will, based on all of the interactions that I've had.
I never even expected to have so many.
Interactions, they're overwhelmingly positive.
So, I've got, I have one or two, a couple favorites I just share.
One is, there was a young gas attendant at Costco, and by the way, Costco, now I know why they sell your book, because I've had the most positive comments at Costco.
Interesting.
Yes.
But anyway, he was in his 20s, and he was a gas attendant, and he commented on my license plate, and we started talking.
And he was a big fan, and he had read your Rational Bibles, and I just thought that was awesome.
It is awesome.
I mean, that a gas attendant in his 20s loves PragerU, loves me, and read the Rational Bible is a source of great joy to me.
Well, I knew you'd like that.
I was floored.
It was beautiful.
And there's one other one I know about young people.
I came out of a grocery store, and I got to my car, and this young, probably 13-year-old girl and her mom came up to me, and she was so excited.
She had made her mom wait in the car in the parking lot until I came out because she wanted to comment on my license plate because she was such a big fan of PragerU.
13 years old.
13, yes, yes.
So more positive.
I've really only had one negative.
Oh, I've got to hear that one, yeah?
I was driving to work one day, and it was rush hour traffic, so it was kind of really slow.
And the guy on the right of me, I look over, and he gives me the finger.
Right, exactly.
I expected that, yeah, and?
And he had a little smile, which I didn't expect.
I figured he would be on the left, he would be angry, but he didn't seem to be angry.
So I wasn't sure if it was the license plate, right?
So I just gave him a thumbs up right away, you know, when he did that.
And?
And then we kind of went back and forth a couple other times, and he never looked at me again.
You are a terrific guy.
You really are.
It does my heart good to know that people like you feel the way you do about me, about my work.
It's a good thing.
I've got to say, to be given the finger and react with a thumbs up, that...
I have to believe that drives the person who gave you the finger a little crazy.
The whole reason they do it is to bother you.
But if you're not bothered, it's very frustrating.
Anyway, you should...
If your state still has a PragerU license, it would be fun to get just to get all these reactions.
It is not coincidental, incidentally, that it was a 20-something-year-old, the guest attendant, and a 13-year-old girl.
65% of those who watch PragerU are, of the billion views a year, are under 35 years of age.
So there's hope, my friends.
Thank you, Jeff.
Oh, my God.

Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Well, this is actually, I guess, a carryover from the loneliness part, but it's also on happiness, too.
I was married 35 years.
I have two grown sons.
They're both doing very well.
But since I supported...
Trump and gave away Jews for Trump t-shirts, 300 of them.
I've become a pariah.
I think my wife actually made me a pariah when she divorced me.
And her father began that process by telling my children how stupid I was to be religious and to not believe any of that nonsense.
I should add, he escaped Vienna during Kristallnacht.
Well, it helps explain it.
He thinks every Republican, and especially Trump, is a would-be Nazi.
Yes.
Yes.
And you're the stupid one.
That's the amazing thing.
He thinks you're stupid when that so trivializes Hitler that the man should be ashamed of himself.
Well, he's dead now, and unfortunately, I didn't kill him, although I really wish I would have.
Okay, well, that's a horrible thing to say.
It is horrible.
Yeah, okay.
So, wait a minute.
Let me understand something.
You had a good marriage?
Yes.
Of our 35 years, at least 25 were very good.
He had abandoned the family, and then when their mother died, and that was great when my worst mother was alive, but when she died suddenly, They decided, he and her brother and sister, to cuddle up to their father again.
And then all the stories I heard about what a horrible person he was, I could see.
And I stood up for them when he would insult them.
Because they were just too weak to...
They were just browbeaten before I ever...
Right.
So, let me understand.
You said you're a religious Jew?
No, I don't know how to answer that.
I guess, to a degree, I am.
I don't really go to service as much.
Right, okay.
I was just trying to understand, because you said that they thought that that was ridiculous, unless I misheard you.
Yes, they did.
That's correct.
The whole family did.
And now my kids do.
And now your kids.
Do your kids talk to you?
Not at all.
They completely cut off from me.
I'm to become a grandfather a week from today.
Tell your kids, either one, I will pay them a serious sum of money if they come on the radio and talk to me.
We'll be back in a moment.

And the left just reels you in.
Oh, this person is racist.
Oh, this person is homophobic.
Oh, this person is xenophobic.
And all this kind of stuff.
It's constantly, it's this constant divisiveness.
It's this constant state of anger just to keep you mad.
And then you're so busy being mad.
You're so busy hating your neighbor that you're not thinking, oh, wait a minute.
Inflation is skyrocketing?
You mean I won't be able to afford groceries?
I'm already struggling, but I won't be able to afford groceries?
I won't be able to afford to put gas in my car?
See, the big issues they want you to stop thinking about.
They just want you to hate Republicans.
They want you to hate black conservatives.
They want you to hate white conservatives.
Meanwhile, they're hating on you.
It's amazing to me how the left gets away with this stuff.
And it's amazing to me how so many people continuously fall for it.
You notice every election cycle, the left will blow up, the media will blow up a story about a black man or whatever.
Maybe it's an issue with cops or whatever it may be, but you have to understand something.
And I'm not saying these stories like George Floyd and all this kind of stuff shouldn't be brought to light, but you have to understand the reason why they're brought to light isn't because they happen all the time.
Because police have millions of stops and deal with, you know, They have millions of confrontations with criminals and none every single year.
So when something like a George Floyd incident makes it onto the news, it's not because it's normative.
It's because it's extremely rare.
But the left makes you too mad to realize this.

Hi, everybody.
Dennis Prager here.
How are you calling on anything?
And let's see.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
I'm saying, oh, my God, but none of you know why.
So that's a flaw in my presentation.
I fully acknowledge it.
All right.
Rob, New York City.
Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
Hi.
So I have a question.
You know, I really respect your opinion.
I've been listening to you for a long time, and I'm just curious.
So I'm a member of law enforcement in the New York City area.
I work for a very large agency.
And it's just a matter of time, I think, within the next week, they're going to start mandating the vaccine.
At first, it was more of a medical issue choice for me that I didn't want to do it, but now it's transitioned to more of a moral issue.
On one side, I don't want to take it from that moral standpoint, but on the other side of the coin, I have an obligation to my family.
I have young children at home.
I have a wife who stays home.
I'm just curious what your thoughts are.
You know, I saw the topic.
And I said, there was a voice in me that said, Dennis, don't take the call because you don't have a great answer.
I just want you to know that.
I took it really because I want people to hear what is being done in the United States for the first time in its history.
Taking people like you and putting you in such a position.
It's an act of evil.
It is the beginning of a police state.
I swear to God that that is the case.
There is no doubt in my mind the left would create a police state if they could, and they're on their way to doing so.
To deny it is to actively engage in willful ignoring of something bad, because it's too painful to acknowledge, and it means you'd have to fight it.
Okay, having said that, so your employer...
We'll do this, or New York State will force them?
What is the story in New York?
Okay, so a couple days ago, Mayor de Blasio, he had a press conference, unrelated, but of course the topic came up.
I don't know how close you've been following, but the teachers lost the battle in New York City about a week ago, and they were all mandated to get the vaccine.
That being said, going into it, I think the number was at 83 before they even hit the mandate.
As far as my job...
I'm sorry, what number?
So, the New York City teachers, they were at an 83% vaccination rate before the mandate.
Right.
Yeah, before the mandate.
Now, on the NYPD... I think we're roughly around 55 to 60 percent.
That was the last number I heard a few days ago.
If that's true, you think that de Blasio would okay getting rid of 40 percent of the officers?
See, that's not an option.
But then on the other side of the coin, what percentage of that number is going to be coerced into getting it?
Well, if they all stood firm, it's hard to imagine that New Yorkers would say, we could lose 40% of our police.
No problem.
I don't know.
Interesting is such a non...
Yeah, I don't know, Dennis.
I can tell you we're sick over it.
And it's not just the vaccinated cops.
I'm sick on your behalf.
Yeah, the vaccinated cops are sick about it, too.
That's right.
I mean, this isn't...
This isn't the end.
It's not, you know, as if they're going to give us the vaccine and it's going to be over.
No, it's just the beginning.
That is correct.
It's just the beginning.
That's right.
Listen, I salute you.
You said something which I didn't interrupt, but it was so important.
It's now transcending a health issue into a moral issue.
That's how I feel.
The more they coerce the scum, and they are scum, They are America-hating, liberty-hating, humanity-hating people.
And you must understand that.
And the more they do that, the more I don't want to take the vaccine.
They are having the opposite effect on some of us.
Joe Biden is a lowlife.
He is a thug.
He's a crook.
He's a weakling.
And when weaklings have power, it's a very, very bad thing.
This is the man who said it.
We had SARS virus in the Obama administration, and he announced he would not enter an airplane.
This guy is as close to a coward as we have had in the presidency in our history.
Not close.
He is.
He's a coward with power.
Very dangerous group.
There is a scientific basis for the idea.
You're vaccinated.
Why the hell do you care if I am?
This is astonishing.
The only answer they have, the only, is, well, you'll fill hospitals.
Did they have that answer during AIDS with regard to bathhouses and gay men?
And intravenous drug users?
Of course not.
If you even mention it, you were called a homophobe.
Do they have it with regards to anything else?
The motorcyclists without helmets?
The obese who disproportionately have comorbidities?
And who's to say they won't go after them?
Bloomberg, remember, he wanted to charge a tax for a large soda in New York City?
Or something to that effect.
Or ban the amount that they would sell to you.
It is a moral issue.
I can't tell anybody, though, don't have an income for your family.
It's not my place to do it.
I have an income.
There's a civil war in this country, and it may end up violent.
That's the first time I've ever said that.
I've said for 20 years this is civil war.
Left and right have nothing in common.
In fact, most on the left and most on the right would like to secede from each other.
I am among them.
I have nothing in common with leftists.
They are evil.
Liberals are weak, so they should go to the left-wing states.
Be interesting to see where most liberals would want to live.
Be very interesting if they would choose New York State.
Or Florida.
Very, very interesting.
I hope they choose New York State because the more New Yorkers that go to Florida, the more it's ruined.
Like the more Californians that go to Arizona ruin that state.
It's amazing when people flee left-wing policies and then vote for them in the state they fled to.
You've got to admit that's precious.
That's the perfect word.
That's precious.
It's getting dark.
And this is only the beginning.
I promise you it is only the beginning.

on your mind, our Phil Ventura, California.
Hello.
Hello, how are you?
Well, thank you.
Yes, I have a family member who recently became pregnant, and as they were going through some things with their OB, he asked a couple questions that were kind of surprising.
First of all, he asked who the birthing parent was, and then also they needed to know what the gender of the mother was.
And they actually had to sign a paper to attest to the fact that they were asked that question.
Well, actually, that's not how it would have been phrased.
It would have been phrased, what is the gender of the birthing person?
Because the men who give birth are not called mothers.
They say fathers give birth.
Yeah, that's kind of how I interpret it.
Yeah, no, right.
I understand why you would do that, because you actually have not yet entered George Orwell's world.
But, yes, I believe your story.
That is correct.
The medical profession is composed largely of sheep.
Doctors are as much sheep as professors.
Which is saying something, because I thought that they were the most sheep-like of all the professions.
Yep, they cave in totally.
Total cave-in.
Oh, we're not going to say mother.
Oh, no, no, we're...
We don't want to make any enemies.
We're doctors.
We're gods.
Gods don't have to worry about standing for anything.
That's what's happened.
Any doctor who was caved in on using birthing person is worthless as a citizen.
Maybe terrific doctor.
And terrific doctors have had all sorts of horrible ideas in history.
Okay, so I thank you for that call.
I think I got rid of a line I didn't want to get rid of.
Well, I'm sorry.
I did it.
Okay.
Mark in Denver, Colorado.
Hello.
Thanks for taking my call.
I love your stuff.
I wanted to just quickly ask you if the term redlining means anything to you.
And if not, it was a term that I learned about years ago but I haven't really heard anything about and brought up again in a conversation the other day.
But I think it's pretty important to discuss, especially with critical race theory, coming to light and being taught.
They drew red lines around districts that were considered bad risks for a bank loan for a house.
And since often those poor districts were minority houses, minorities were disproportionately affected by redlining.
And I'm just wondering if, I mean, I think it's important to at least talk about that.
Why?
Racism and everything like that.
And maybe it's a good topic for you to cover on one of your videos.
Why?
I love those.
Thank you.
Why do you think it's important?
Because I think it does give credence to some of the huge push for people to say that America is a racist country.
And maybe we get to the bottom.
Get to the bottom of it and do a little investigation into our history.
Who came up with these redline laws?
I imagine it had...
Well, the question is whether redline was primarily racist or primarily economic.
It was probably both, I have no doubt.
There were places that wouldn't sell homes to Jews through the 50s.
The only difference I have with you is, as opposed to was, the United States is profoundly non-systemically racist.
It is a gargantuan lie on the level of the blood libel against the Jews in the Middle Ages that they would kill Christian children to use their blood to bake matzah for Passover.
It's known as the blood libel.
That was the biggest national or ethnic or religious libel.
The second biggest is that America is systemically racist.
Tell that to the three million blacks who moved here from Africa and the Caribbean in the last 50 years.
Are they stupid?
Why would they move to a systemically racist country?
What was that, Sean?

A doctor in L.A., California, Lee.
Hello, Dr. Lee.
Hi.
Hi.
Can you hear me?
I can.
Okay, so...
I have information that will bring down the COVID vaccine worldwide in a month.
I've tried everything to get it out, but apparently the media doesn't want to hear this message right.
And what is it?
It's not very difficult.
Just a little bit of background on me.
I've done 80,000 LASIK surgeries.
I went to the University of Michigan for medical school.
I'm all science.
My kids were vaccinated when they were growing up.
I didn't even stop them from getting the COVID vaccine.
But this is the issue.
When you get vaccinated, you form antibodies in the blood and lymph.
The theory is that the antibody gets into the lung and it binds to a COVID virus before it can infect your lung cells that are inside the lung.
Now the problem, the single biggest problem with this is Our lungs are like balloons inside our body, and our lungs are mostly air.
The balloon membrane can stop the net influx of water molecules crossing into it.
Obviously, if water gets into our lungs, we drown.
What amazingly no one has checked is the size of the antibody.
The antibody is 8,000 times larger than the water molecule.
If the balloon membrane of our lungs It can stop water molecules from coming in.
Why would it allow an antibody molecule, which is 8,000 times larger than a water molecule?
In order for a neutralizing antibody to have an effect, it has to be on the inside of the lung.
All you have to do is Google an image of an alveolus.
There's a little capillary that wraps on the alveolar sac.
Inside the alveolar wall are all the lung cells that are being infected by COVID. The problem is...
Alright, so your claim is that it doesn't work?
No.
My claim is that their theory is it's a neutralizing antibody.
And no one has checked to see how it gets into the lung.
Wait, wait, wait.
So wait, so in layman's terms, does it work or not?
It does not work because of a neutralizing antibody.
Right, okay.
So that's your bottom line.
So, look, I am not medically knowledgeable enough to know.
However, I am open to hearing what you say, and I would like you to send it to me.
Either I or my live-in expert on this matter will read it.
You probably have something there.
You know, Finland now has joined, just today, Finland has joined Denmark and Sweden in saying that people under 30 should not get the Moderna vaccine.
So why is the United States not joining them in that?
You know why?
Because there's a lot of money in Moderna.
A lot of billionaires at Moderna now because of this.
All of my life I defended pharmaceutical companies.
I now know how corrupt they are.
I didn't know a lot of things.
I hate being naive.
I was.
The amount of corruption at the CDC, I didn't know about that.
If Anthony Fauci said it was raining outside, I wouldn't take an umbrella.
Gary in Valencia, California.
Hello.
Good morning.
Hi, Dennis.
You constantly make this distinction between lefts and liberals, and I don't know why you do that, because I don't think there is much of a distinction anymore, and if there is, why aren't they speaking up?
Okay, I never say there's a difference between left and liberals.
I say there's a difference between leftism and liberalism.
Liberals vote left.
Liberals are cowards.
They vote left because they don't want to alienate their family and friends and because they've been brainwashed into believing conservatives are their enemy.
However, there is nothing in common between liberalism and leftism.
Okay, but my point would be then, where are the liberals?
Cowards!
I answered your question.
They're cowards.
They will lose their family, friends, and self-respect if they defend the party of Trump.
They don't think about right and wrong, they think about Trump and wrong, or Trump and right.
Am I on?
You're on.
Okay, well, battle lines have been drawn.
I mean, you had, in 1988, this point was made very well by Dinesh D'Souza in his book Illiberal Education.
The politics of race and sex on campus.
And they have won, and they keep winning, and they're way down the line, so you better take sides in this battle.
You're telling me I should take sides in this battle?
You're cracking me up.
I mean, in general, the people of this country have to...
Yes, you're right, they do.
I say it every day.
I can't be more clear.
Liberals make leftists impossible.
If the country is destroyed by the left, and it may be, liberals will be the guilty party.
The left cannot win without liberal votes.
Liberals do not vote for liberalism.
They vote for leftism.
It is despicable, cowardly, etc.
But that's the case.
They're so damn brainwashed they think that to vote conservative is to vote for the Nazis.
When the only thing approximating That evil is the left.
They are making a police state and liberals vote for them.
Okay?
In Chicago, in New York, in Portland, in Los Angeles.
And they think they're moral when they do it.
Nobody has higher self-esteem than liberals and leftists.
We are on the Obama line, the arc of history.
Bends towards progressive.

Yeah, well, you're right.

Friends, amazing final segment of the week.
like Dennis Prager here.
Wow.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I have an amazing report here.
If it's accurate, I cannot say.
It's an Icelandic website.
Visir, V-I-S-I-R dot I-S, I-S for Iceland.
They spell Iceland, I-S-L-A-N-D. And the report, if accurate, is that the Moderna vaccine will not be used in Iceland, period.
So Finland, Denmark, and Sweden have said under 30 should not have it.
And Iceland has said nobody should have it.
Can you report this before Twitter takes you down, or Facebook, or you're charged with misinformation?
These lying, despicable totalitarians in our tech field?
These people, to the extent that history will remember them, will be remembered as...
The worst of the worst.
The killers of free speech in the United States.
Twitter, Facebook, Google, Instagram.
It's astonishing.
If liberty is preserved in the United States, these people will be regarded the same as French collaborators were after World War II. So what's going on with the Moderna vaccine?
It turns out that people who don't want to take the vaccine, are they as weird as you still think they are?
Has Sweden lost its mind?
Norway lost its mind?
Denmark lost its mind?
These are the idyllic societies for the left.
These are the best of the best.
