Thank you.
Honest talk about men and women.
For those of you just tuning in to me, I am now negative.
In other words, I do not have COVID. I have surpassed it.
All the therapeutics worked.
I am happy to say I thank God.
I thank the makers of the therapeutics.
Thank my wife, who is a true expert in the arena.
And I just thought you should know that.
I'm broadcasting from home because it is still a time that the station wants you to be at home, which is fine with me quarantining.
But I am free to go out into the world, and in fact, I will be going out into the world.
I already began.
All good news from here to the great dismay of CNN and others for whom anybody who fixes themselves without a vaccine is engaging in evil.
It's a sick, sick, sick, sick world of the left on this matter.
If you take care of yourself without a vaccine, you are somehow engaged.
In something nefarious.
Sick stuff.
Anyway, I'm fine.
I still have a residue of some cough, but I'm fine.
All's good.
Great to be with you.
Male-female hour.
So, I decided that we haven't done this subject in half a year.
I'm very interested in getting your report.
This has been an unprecedented almost two years now of people not having a normal life.
And I'd like to know how this affected your marriage.
Did it hurt it?
Did it help it?
Did it have no impact?
1-8 Prager 776-877-243-7776 So I'm going to ask our screener to clear the lines here so that people can call in on the male-female hour and on this subject.
I have to believe it's somewhat of a mixed bag in terms of marriages and, for that matter, couples living together.
For some, it was probably very difficult.
And for others, it might have been revelatory in a good sense.
That's my question to you.
How did this affect your marriage this past year and a half?
Very curious indeed.
Being stuck together for so long, not able to leave the house, perhaps not having a job, having to take care of kids, kids not going to school, kids not going to school, I mean, the number of changes in people's lives, in many people's lives, has just been presumably huge.
So that's the question.
For that matter, how has it affected your relationship with your children?
If the children were home for much of the last year and a half or two years, really?
See, when did it begin?
It began, what, February of 2020, and this is now nearing the end of October 2021. So two from ten is eight.
So, eight months.
Anyway, what is it, a year and eight months?
That's a lot of time.
So, we will find out.
1-8 Prager 776. 877-243-7776.
When I last did this, I think I did this twice in the course of the last year and a half.
And to my great pleasant surprise, a lot of people reported that things at home had been pretty good.
So we'll find out if that has stayed, if that is the current.
If that is the current way that you would describe how things happened.
I'm very interested in those of you who have children and how that worked out.
Like, for example, would there be a change in the way you view the idea of homeschooling?
Now that kids have been home and you realize, wow, Maybe school stinks.
Maybe it's actually hurting my child, the sick stuff that they're being taught at most schools, and it's a healthier environment to have them at home.
That's a possibility.
So, with regard to your spouse, with regard to your house, with regard...
To your children, you thought I would say mouse, didn't you?
The reason I didn't say mouse was it only rhymed, but it had no meaning.
So it has to have some sort of meaning.
All right, let's see what goes on here.
San Antonio, Texas.
Cindy, what's your report, Cindy?
Hi, Dennis.
Hi.
First of all, I just want to thank you for, you know, what you do.
My kids, I have three kids.
One's out of the house, he's 21, and the other one, they're minors, 15 and 17. So my daughter was homeschooled last year, and during her in-between, you know, slow time, she would listen to your fireside chats while she was doing her craft or artwork.
And I'm just like, I was just, it was just a proud moment because You know, in these days and, you know, these past years, it's like people have no common sense and not able to think critically for themselves intellectually.
So I just thank you so much for what you do, and it's a real honor to talk to you.
Well, you made my day.
The thought that your daughter would be watching a fireside chat while doing whatever she was doing, you know, it fills me with joy.
And it speaks well of your daughter, I might add.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And as far as the COVID, the quarantine, my husband works from home.
And we're born again Christians.
So it really, I think it didn't change much.
It kind of brought all four of us closer.
Because before the pandemic, you know, life was normal.
It was going, going, going, the kids' school, soccer.
And as far as just, you know, being indoors and everything just stops, you kind of have to take a reset, like getting to know your kids more, you know what I mean?
And we would have church online, so it's just like, I felt like it was a reset of our life.
So what are you going to do henceforth?
Are you going to homeschool your children?
Okay, so the kids are going to public school, and...
They really like the social aspect of it.
Here in San Antonio, I'm real on top of...
I know they're not teaching CRT in the public schools, but I'm aware of what's going on.
But they love being with their friends.
They love their peer, their social interaction.
So my daughter that was homeschooled for the past two, three years, she decided she wanted to be back in school.
So we put her back in.
You know, we're very open, and we talk with them daily at the dinner table about the world, life, how did you do in school.
So I think if you have that foundation with your kids and that relationship, I think, you know...
Yeah, it works.
You sound like a wonderful family.
We'll be back in a moment.
I'm Dennis Prager male-female hour There's no doubt about it America is in the middle of a culture war.
The battle between left and right is real.
One side believes in American greatness.
The other wants to tear it down.
The Salem Radio Network and the Salem Podcast Network is looking for a few warriors who are already fighting this war.

And so what they want you to believe is that there is a sword hanging by a thread above your existence.
So this Sword of Damocles was a parable, and it became a motif in medieval literature.
And basically this is the quote from Cicero, who was a one-year Roman council who was phenomenal.
He was actually killed right near the time of Julius Caesar's death.
Julius Caesar had this beautiful quote where he said, The more laws, the less justice.
The founding fathers loved Cicero.
But Cicero wrote about the tale of Damocles and represented the idea that those in power always labor under the specter of anxiety and death and that, quote, there can be no happiness for the one who is under constant apprehensions.
And so, every man, woman, and child who lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles hanging by the slenderest of threads capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or madness.
That was a speech that John F. Kennedy gave to the United Nations back in 1961 talking about nuclear weapons.
But essentially, if you get the visual, there's like this sword hanging from the ceiling by a thread.
And they want every parent who shows up at the school board meeting to be afraid that at any moment that sword could drop from the ceiling and drop on you and metaphorically or possibly end your life by putting you in prison.
Let me read this again.
That no man can be free under the labor or the anxiety of constant apprehension or penalty.
They want people to have nervous glances of the blade dangling above them.

The Democratic Party somehow has convinced black people that they're the good guys.
Never mind the skanky history of the Democratic Party.
That was a party of slavery.
He said, listen, I got to give these niggas enough.
Not too much, but enough that I haven't voted Democrat for the next 200 years.
The race grievance industry would have you believe that blacks get up and think about nothing else except race.
If I tell you this is racist, yeah, I would get you emotional.
There is a whole big cottage industry for racism.
If racism went away, a lot of people would be unemployed.
The mob during the Minneapolis riots following the death of George Floyd.
Bunch of white thugs, frankly, burning down the city's traditional black and Asian business business.
They're racist.

Hi, everybody. everybody.
Male-female hour every Wednesday, second hour of the Dennis Prager Show.
Having done this in half a year, an update, how has this last year and a half affected your relationship?
In general, your marriage, otherwise your relationship, and that would include family life as well as marital life.
Chicago, Illinois.
Bonnie.
Hello, Bonnie.
Having a problem getting on to Bonnie here.
There we go.
Hello, Bonnie.
Oh, hi, Dennis.
Hi.
It's hard to talk to you.
I listen to you all the time.
Thank you.
I'm so happy you got over COVID, too.
Yes.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I've been married for 49 years to my husband, and during the lockdown, which we didn't really do too much locking down.
We just went out and lived our life.
We had a great time together, and I was just sad that a lot of my friends were all separating and getting divorced because they had to stay home with their spouse.
It was just really a sad thing to know that...
What this virus has done to people's lives.
Give me an example.
Well, for one thing, my neighbor's nuts now because we didn't get the vaccine.
He doesn't talk to my husband and I anymore.
You know, I feel weird going out to get the mail.
I sort of live out in the country.
I'm 70 miles outside of Chicago.
In a great place that I've lived for 25 years, and it just, everyone just is mean.
I don't understand what this virus did to people to make everyone hate each other as much as they do and judge each other when we just want to, you know, do our own thing, like you.
Just use therapeutics.
God gave us an immune system, and, you know, it just...
It's really an awful place that we're in right now.
Right.
Okay, that's not...
Yeah, hold on, hold on.
I know.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I want to delve into this past story.
So, I asked you for an example.
I was thinking of an example of a couple that split up, because that's how you opened up your talk with me.
Oh, yes.
Well, wait, wait, wait.
We'll get to that in a moment.
I want to talk to you about this one, though.
Your neighbor will not speak to you because you didn't get vaccinated?
Yeah!
Isn't that wild?
I've lived in my home for 25 years.
Raised my kids there.
They're all grown.
They're in their 40s now, and they've got their own life.
So my husband and I live on a five-acre property.
He moved in up in front of us eight years ago.
So when COVID happened, our neighbors across the street got it, and he was mortified.
He jumped back.
And then we have some other friends that split up.
They just...
Hated being home with each other, evidently, because they both worked, and then they had to stay together now, of course, when everything was closed down, and their jobs had to work from home, and they just realized, I guess, who they were, because they only saw each other in passing, and, you know, occasionally maybe out to dinner, but I don't know.
It's a weird time we're living in.
It's a very weird time.
Were you surprised that they broke up?
Kind of, yeah, because they got married about 10 years after us, but they didn't really have a great...
I mean, my husband and I, I'm so blessed to have this man in my life.
I mean, we've been married since I was 19, and he got out of the service at 21, so he was like my soulmate.
He didn't go to Vietnam, so he must have been saving him for me.
I always say that, but at any rate, yeah, they were together a long time, but I don't think they were happy, really.
I think they just stayed.
And then when they all moved out, you know, they kind of, like, fell apart.
But pretty sad.
Very sad.
Well, thank you for calling.
It is sad when friends of yours break up.
I mean, having nothing to do with COVID or lockdowns.
It's a painful thing, divorce.
Not only for the couple, that's the most obvious, or for the children, if there are children, but for friends and relatives.
This is not a condemnation of it, it's just a statement of fact.
Sometimes it's necessary.
Jennifer in Columbus, Ohio, hello.
Hello?
Hi there.
Hi.
I'm glad you're feeling better.
Me too.
Thank you so much.
Yes, and I just wanted to say that my husband actually was working away from home, and then when everything started, he had to work from home, and I was just worried that it was going to be a fiasco because he has OCD, but when he started working from home...
It actually became something that really helped our relationship instead of hurt it.
And the reason?
The reason why I think is because I just was more understanding about where he was coming from with OCD and just to kind of put myself in his shoes a little bit more and just felt like I could see how he's such a hard worker and I really had a lot of appreciation for that.
So you're closer today?
Yeah.
How fascinating.
You wouldn't have predicted that?
No, I would never have predicted that.
Well, that's wonderful.
Thank you for telling me.
A lot of times in life, one doesn't know what a circumstance will, in fact, create.
That was obviously a good example.
All right, Maggie, Whittier, California.
Hello.
Hello, Maggie.
Hi, Dennis.
Hi, Dennis.
I'm Maggie from Whittier.
I'm a substitute teacher.
I got to stay home last year with my son.
It was the greatest thing that could happen to us.
I've always kind of, like, imagined, like, maybe we should do homeschool, but then I really never pulled the trigger to kind of force us to do it.
We did it.
His reading improved dramatically.
He's in second grade right now.
He's reading third grade level.
He has a fifth grade vocabulary, and I know that that would have been possible if I hadn't been able to work one-on-one with him.
Most of the parents I talked to, you know, couldn't wait until the kids, you know, went back to school.
I just kind of embraced it.
So will you homeschool him now?
Oh, absolutely, because tomorrow...
All right, hold on there.
I've got to take a break.
That's a fascinating development.
Back in a moment. Back in a moment.
Secretary Chao, I'm glad you're available today because there are two headlines.
One from the Wall Street Journal.
Biggest US retailers charter private cargo ships to sail around port delays.
Then in the New York Times, it's not sustainable.
What America's port crisis looks like up close.
There aren't enough workers.
There aren't enough ships.
You've been the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Transportation.
What do we do?
It's a very dire situation.
You know, when COVID initially hit our shores early in 2020, I was in Secretary of Transportation, and we quickly focused on keeping the transportation supply chain open so that essential medical supplies, groceries, and other essentials were available.
And that effort actually required some pretty strong measures.
Number one, we decided to ease some restrictions on truckers so that they can keep goods moving.
We made sure that the national airspace kept airplanes flying because even though at one point planes were nearly empty of passengers, commercial airliners also routinely transport a lot of goods, especially medical supplies.
Remember those early days of the initial lockdowns?
We had hoarding of toilet papers, any wipes, shortage of masks.
Stores were putting limits on how much...
Customers can buy of one item.
And more than 70% of domestic freight moves via trucks.
But today's supply chain problems extend all the way, where worker shortages and COVID lockdowns have flowed the loading of cargo ships from where they started to U.S. ports, where, as you just mentioned, the other day there were over 60 freighters with tens of thousands of storage containers offshore waiting for an opportunity to unload.

Thank you.
It's not just about saying, I have a right in this country to not have the government not allow me to go to church, but also that the government cannot compel me to participate in any sort of event, including a vaccine, by the way, that goes against my sincerely held religious beliefs.
And so it should just be a matter of course that if you have a conscious objection, then you can say, I, as a Christian, as...
A Muslim, as a Jew, as any sort of religion, I mean, this covers all religions, by the way, all faiths, all sincerely held beliefs, you should be able to say, I decline to be coerced into participation.
But what we're seeing is that a lot of employers are not only requiring a lot of information for people to say, you know, well, you have to justify your religious exemption.
We're also seeing that they want this so-called what they're calling an interactive process that's basically an interrogation.
I have clients.
Right now that they have filed for a religious exemption on the basis of we're pro-life, that's what the Bible teaches, and I cannot take this vaccine.
And the Human Resources Department from the legal counsel of these employers want to sit down and basically interrogate them and say, is this really a sincerely held religious belief?
And they're using this as a pretext to try to deny religious exemptions.
It's absurd, and I hope that When there are more lawsuits filed, like just today, in Texas, United Airlines was forbidden from enforcing their vaccine mandate against employees who are claiming a religious exemption.

So we're already seeing that the courts are protecting this, but hopefully it'll be more than just Texas.

Male-female hour, Wednesday second hour of the program.
I I'm Dennis Prager.
So, how has the last year and a half affected your life, specifically your marriage, your relationship, your family?
So, Maggie is a single mother in Whittier, California, and it's worked out extremely well for her and her son.
Is that correct?
Well, I'm not a single mom, no.
Oh, I don't know.
Why did I infer that?
Oh, cool.
I'm very, actually, I guess because there was no reference to your husband.
That's right.
Sorry, yeah.
Which I'd like to address, too, because just to address the first part of how it affected our life and our marriage, we are stronger now than we were last year.
We did not quarantine together because he didn't lose a single day of work.
Not even one day.
He is self-employed.
Going back to your last hour about trades, he is a custom woodworker and does, like, custom kitchen closets.
Well, because people were home last year, I mean, he was very extremely busy.
So he didn't miss a single day of work.
So he, you know, he went into a trade, right, and he's doing really well.
But we're stronger.
Politically, we're not similar.
We do have some political things, but that doesn't affect us that much.
We just decide not to go into things too much.
There's one thing we do agree on, because he's vaccinated, I'm not vaccinated.
We kind of respect each other's choices.
One thing we do both agree on is that we're not going to vaccinate our son.
And so tomorrow, there's going to be a superintendent meeting with a health specialist that's going to come.
Help parents answer questions about how they feel about vaccinating their children, 5 to 11 groups, because according to our district, they want to start vaccinating that group starting mid-November.
So I'm kind of shocked because I was hoping that, well, I knew, I would think that by next year, maybe they were going to start forcing those vaccines on the kids, but I guess they want to fast forward this in our district.
The point is, I'm going to go tomorrow and let them know that if they plan to do this, that I was going to pull my kid out and do homeschooling, you know, much sooner than I expected, but, you know, that I expected to do this starting tomorrow.
I'm going to make that announcement.
I think it borders on criminal to vaccinate children that age.
It's beyond belief.
And I really want to sit there at that meeting and tally how many times they're going to say safe.
Because the more they say it, I don't feel safer.
You know?
No kidding.
You're going to feel fine.
This is safe.
This is perfectly fine for your children.
They're waiting for this FDA thing to come down.
And no, I don't feel safer.
And so I'm going to pull him out.
And I told my husband, and he agrees, and I can just stay home with him.
Well, so it's a credit to your husband because he got vaccinated and he doesn't want his child vaccinated.
So it's a credit to him.
No, he doesn't.
Yeah.
So I'm just curious.
I don't think we should do this.
That's correct.
So I'm just curious.
You guys have worked it out.
What is the essential difference between you politically?
I mean, he likes Joe Biden.
Okay, that's right.
And every day I'm like, do you see what he's doing?
Do you see what he's doing?
So he doesn't really like for me to point those things out.
He listens to different radio stations.
I listen to you guys.
He listens to different views and opinions.
And at night sometimes I play your videos on YouTube and he's like, turn that off!
Right, I can imagine.
So things like that, you know, that, you know, he thinks I'm being washed one way, I think he's being washed the other way, but ultimately it's not enough to, you know.
Good, I'm glad you're doing well, I really am.
God bless, you sound like a terrific woman.
I thank you.
All right, let's go to J.R. in Nashville, Tennessee.
Hello, J.R. Hey, Rabbi, how are you doing, sir?
I'm Catholic.
Yes, those are the people who call me Rabbi, Catholics and Protestants.
So anyway, I wish I could have a story as wonderful, and I believe her name was Maggie.
Right.
I really do.
So the last year plus has been not good at all.
I can't leave any more emails to the high school that my daughter goes to.
they're not mandating her to get a vaccine but the teachers and the faculty are bullying them into getting it you know I hold on I'm very curious to hear how why why the past year was bad relieffactor.com 800-583-84 here is the story with relief factor if you have muscle or joint pain

Dennis Prager here, male-female hour, second hour Wednesdays.
How has the last year and a half affected your marriage and your family life is the question.
And I don't know why my man in Nashville, I guess he thought the call was over.
I thought I made it clear we're going to continue.
The interesting thing about this is, could people have predicted, some people things got better as you're hearing, some people things got worse as you're hearing.
Is it predictable?
Were people surprised?
I think I should ask that question now.
Are you surprised at what exactly happened?
Let's see.
Daniel in Los Angeles.
Hello.
Hi, Dennis.
How are you doing today?
Hello, Daniel.
I'm well.
Thank you.
Can you hear me?
Yep.
Okay.
Hi, Dennis.
Yeah, I'm from Los Angeles, from South Central, from where Larry Elder is from.
Yeah, it's been a rollercoaster as far as me and my wife in our marriage.
I mean, we're better now, but I think for the past year, it's opened up our eyes on where we stand politically.
I grew up in the inner city, was brainwashed to vote Democrat, and that was everything that happened last year opened up my eyes as far as where I stand.
Me and my wife are good.
We've had arguments because of our views.
But yeah, it's definitely been a roller coaster.
What opened up your eyes?
I think the whole...
At first, I think everybody was upset with the whole...
Death of, um, uh, which is, uh, the guy in, uh, what's his name?
I'm drawing a blank.
Um, what caused the whole riots, the whole, uh, um, and then the defunding of, I think more so was the rioting and the defunding of the police.
Um, that opened my eyes a lot.
That were Democrat cities wanting to defund police, and I live in a Democrat city in Los Angeles, and we need police.
That was just crazy to me and bizarre.
How did your wife react to defund the police?
She didn't agree with it also.
I mean, there's things that we agree on.
She's a teacher.
What do you differ on?
What do you differ about?
Vaccine.
For one thing, the vaccine.
I ended up getting COVID sometime in August.
And, you know, I didn't want to get the vaccine.
And I was kind of pushed to getting the vaccine just because she was real pushy about it.
Didn't want me to be around her family, side of the family.
Was worried that...
Possibly I was going to give it to my children, which I think if they ever got it, they would be okay because they're a healthy kid.
But yeah, I ended up getting the vaccine just because I think a lot of patients are mandating it.
The main reason I got it was because my son has a disability, not a disability, for say, but they're mandating for us to be vaccinated in order for him to get the services.
So, yeah.
All right.
I thank you.
I guess things did work out ultimately, and I'm happy for you in that regard.
The truth is, there are so many arenas of staggering difference.
I mean, just that call alone?
I mean, if one spouse thinks that...
We need police and another one thinks that we need fewer police.
That difference alone I could see being the source of major tension because you think so differently and I'm sorry to say in one case so unclearly.
How could one believe that fewer police means less crime?
You have to live in a make-believe world, and it's a very eerie thing to be married to someone you think lives in a make-believe world.
So, okay.
Gina, Sun City, Arizona.
Hello.
Well, hello, Mr. Fraser.
Let me turn off the radio.
I have to tell you I'm an addicted follower of your program.
You are on my radio everywhere in the house, on the patio, in my bedroom, in the kitchen.
Wherever I go in my house, I listen to you.
And I say, what happened to my life that I never met a smart guy like you?
I am a single person for the last 45 years or so.
I never been married.
I had a lousy husband who abducted my children in Cairo, Egypt.
and so my children disappeared.
And so what happened is, living alone here in Sun City is really not a lot of fun.
Older people, I'm 78 years old, but I am very young in spirit.
I refuse to get vaccinated.
And friends that I've known for 30 years now, and we were together in my house, in her house, everywhere, now...
They just don't talk to me.
And when you live alone, it is such a sad thing.
Hold on with me.
Hold on with me.
I want to continue this.
I told you folks, the left-wing positions make people cruel.
That cannot be said of right-wing positions.
We don't stop talking to them.
Back in a moment.

This is Larry Sabato from the Virginia Center of Politics.
And he said, for all the talk about the 2022 midterms, Really what we need to be focused on is a 2021 midterm That occurs November 2nd in Virginia.
Now, what occurs to me that is a great tell is President Biden is not coming to help out, Terry McCullough.
They're bringing in former President Obama to try and generate some enthusiasm without setting you up one way or the other.
How do you cover critical race theory?
Because it's become the central issue in Virginia.
What do you say about it?
Well, critical race theory has become the proxy for the school district fight in Virginia and who should control what children are taught.
And you have some of the largest and most liberal school districts in the country in Virginia.
You also have some of the more conservative school districts in Virginia.
And what I thought was key, and obviously you've played this soundbite a lot, is the Youngkin-McAuliffe debate, which goes to show you why real debates and real news, especially in politics, are important and actually sometimes elicit the most interesting things, where Terry McAuliffe essentially said that parents should not have a say in what their children are taught.
Whether it relates to critical race theory, whether it relates to gender studies, whether it relates to transsexual issues, whatever it is, Terry McAuliffe thinks the school boards and the teachers' unions know better.
That's a perfectly legitimate political argument.
What was interesting was he actually said the quiet part out loud.
He said the thing that Democrats rarely, if ever, admit, which is they don't want parents' input if it disagrees with their worldview, and the parents shouldn't really have a say.
Once he said that, and I think you would acknowledge...
That's really when the race changed.

I miss my father and I want him to be here with me, but he's not.
We all had something in common.
A lot of us were miserable.
We had no fathers in our lives.
This is how I began the life of crime.
I desired to have a father who would tell me that what I did was wrong.

The question on the table is how this past year has affected you.
How it has affected your marriage, your family life.
So Gina, let me understand.
You're 78. You're living alone in Sun City, Arizona.
You have friends for decades.
But you wouldn't get vaccinated and they've stopped talking to you?
Is that a correct summary?
Yes, that is correct.
And we were on a great relationship for many, many years, even after the coronavirus became official.
For many, many months, we were even together listening.
Now, all of a sudden, she says, no, if you don't get vaccinated, we ignore you.
And the other problem is that the other people who are vaccinated, they don't mind the fact that I am not, but I'm the one who's concerned because I know that even if you are vaccinated, you can still spread it around.
I just heard on the radio on your program that half of the people who died in London or in England had taken the vaccine.
And another fact is that I used to be a flight attendant for Panham, way back in New York, and I had all the shots required in order to go through all different kinds of places.
After I quit the airline, getting married and having kids, I never got a shot in my life.
Not shingles, not poo, not pneumonia.
I never got sick.
I have no self-haces.
I am concerned that the ones that are vaccinated can contaminate me.
So it's a double sword right now to tell you the truth.
I don't know who's what, what's who, and to tell you who they have been with, etc.
Wait, so you...
Wait a minute.
You would talk to the friends who got vaccinated.
They're the ones who won't talk to you.
Is that correct?
And the ones that are vaccinated don't mind the fact that I am not.
But I am the one who's concerned.
Because I know that people that have gotten the vaccine...
Okay, so who stopped...
Wait, alright, I'm not clear then.
Who stopped talking to whom?
Some of them who are vaccinated.
And they insist on the mandate.
So, okay, so they stopped talking to you.
Yes, after 30 years.
Okay, it wasn't fully clear.
Alright, look, I don't understand that.
I talked to vaccinated...
People, vaccinated people, talk to me.
It's...
What has happened...
The fear bombardment has been just...
Has been truly, to live Franklin Roosevelt's statement, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
I never realized how true that comment was.

They were apparently illegal immigrants by their own description.
They're illegals.
They're dreamers.
Please, Senator Sinema, my grandfather just died.
My dad died a year ago.
Everybody's dying in their lives, and they can't go to the funeral.
That seems to be the big complaint.
I got an idea.
You can go to Mexico.
You can go to the funeral.
Go pay respects to your loved ones.
Instead of worrying about the free ride you're getting here in the United States.
People are getting fed up with this kind of arrogance.
And for the left to constantly demean this country as being such a horrible place, if we're such a horrible place, why does this country allow illegals to stalk and harass female senators without any consequences or any accountability whatsoever?
Who are these people?
I saw a report that they're being funded by Soros.
Don't know if it's true or not.
Might be.
I saw that in the Washington Examiner.
There's a report out that these illegal immigrants who are accosting Senator Kyrsten Sinema are actually part of an orchestrated effort.
Seems pretty coincidental to me.
Seems more than a coincidence that the illegal who confronted Sinema in the bathroom had a grandfather who died a couple of weeks ago, and then another illegal who accosted Senator Sinema on an airplane had a father who died, I think, last year.
That seems to be a theme.

But he didn't tweet about it.
I mean, just the sheer insanity.
Talk to us about what that was like to live through.
And then give us your take on what went wrong in the Trump administration, what went right What went wrong?
I mean, look, it was tumultuous.
It was intense.
I think that, look, this goes back to what we were just talking about.
Trump upset the apple cart.
And every president, both parties that come in, need three groups, right?
You need the press, you need donors, and you need sort of the permanent K Street lobbyist types.
Trump's view was, if you want to join me, great, but I don't need you.
And what happened was- Because he won without them.
Yes.
And they were, but here's the thing.
I'll say it in a very PG way, but like they're used to having their butt kissed and they're used to people saying, I'd love to have you come over to my house in Georgetown for a dinner party where we can just, the ins and outs of the NATO, you know, it's like they want you to, you know, and he was like, look.
I'm doing this.
I'm doing it this way.
If you want to join me.
If you want to join me, great.
But I don't need you.
And it pissed them off.
Yeah.
This, especially the conservatives, you know, who thought that they were, you know, the bell crystals of the world.
What do you mean you're not coming to me for a briefing of a candidate?
How do you do this?
How dare you?
How dare you?
I'm part of the institution.
Right.
Kiss the ring.
I come with the drapes.
You know, and I think that that was upset, and especially for the press corps.
And that was their thing, is that they were like, you're supposed to do this.
You're supposed to act this way.

And so what they want you to believe is that there is a sword hanging by a thread above your existence.
So this Sword of Damocles was a parable, and it became a motif in medieval literature.
And basically this is the quote from Cicero, who was a one-year Roman council who was phenomenal.
He was actually killed right near the time of Julius Caesar's death.
Julius Caesar had this beautiful quote where he said, The more laws, the less justice.
The founding fathers loved Cicero.
But Cicero wrote about the tale of Damocles and represented the idea that those in power always labor under the specter of anxiety and death and that, quote, there can be no happiness for the one who is under constant apprehensions.
And so every man, woman, and child who lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles hanging by the slenderest of threads capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or madness.
That was a speech that John F. Kennedy gave to the United Nations back in 1961 talking about nuclear weapons.
But essentially, if you get the visual, there's like this sword hanging from the ceiling by a thread.
And they want every parent who shows up at the school board meeting to be afraid that at any moment that sword could drop from the ceiling and drop on you and metaphorically or possibly end your life by putting you in prison.
Let me read this again.
That no man can be free under the labor or the anxiety of constant apprehension or penalty.
They want people to have nervous glances of the blade dangling above them.

Hi, everybody.
everybody.
I'm Dennis Prager.
I welcome you in case you have just tuned in to Hour 3, as opposed to the first two hours of my show.
I announced earlier that I am tested negative, meaning that I no longer have COVID. And I thank the doctors.
I thank my wife, who supervised a year and a half of therapeutics.
And my immune system and God and whoever else or whatever else is worthy of thanks.
There is a statement that Barry Weiss quotes.
I read to you much of her piece.
In the first hour, we got here.
This is the former New York Times reporter.
Who's a believer in truth, and so she left the New York Times.
It's a lying institution.
We got here because of cowardice.
We get out with courage.
So she gives examples of people with courage in the country at this time.
And there's a piece of data in the piece that I just have to bring to your attention again.
Nearly 70% of students favor reporting professors if the professor says something that students find offensive, according to a Challey Institute for Global Innovation survey.
I have no idea what Challey Institute for Global Innovation is, but I believe that it's accurate.
70% of students have been taught to be snitches.
As I said earlier, there's nothing more frightening than monstrous children.
That's the only real horror movie that scares me, is scary children, for whatever reason.
This is what the left is producing in this country.
They produce worse adults and they produce worse children.
That's a perfect example.
I am curious, by the way, do you agree with that statistic?
Do you think 70% of students in this country favor reporting professors if the professor says something students find offensive?
I am very, very curious.
If this accords with your experience and your hunch with regard to people.
Let's see here.
Michael in Sacramento, California.
Hello.
Hi.
Hopefully you can hear me okay.
I do.
I have to say that reading that you're managing late-cutting house...
The truth is I'm not hearing you great.
Well, I'm sorry.
You have a way to talk into the phone more clearly?
I'll do my best.
Okay.
All right.
Go ahead.
It's a little better.
Yeah, a little better.
yeah in order to get the virus which I guess but in the process your question really took the risk of spreading that's correct That is correct.
So anybody who hugged me in the last year and a half took the risk as I did.
That is correct.
I decided, I announced it on the air.
I decided to live a life and not live in fear for the last year and a half.
I attended rallies.
I went to speeches.
I posed with people for photos.
What about the people that...
I'm sorry, again, it's very unclear.
I want to answer everything you were asking, but it's hard to hear you.
What about the people that what?
What about the people?
Let us assume that you spread it to others.
Just arguments and spread it to others.
Okay, all I heard is spread it to others.
I'm so sorry.
I purposely took your call knowing you're challenging me.
Maybe you can call back and get in.
I don't know.
So, I announced from the outset I was living a normal life.
I had Shabbat dinners with Sabbath dinners Friday night with about 15 people from the very beginning.
There were people of every decade.
It touched me.
There were people under 10, 10 to 20, 20 to 30, 30 to 40, 40 to 50, 50 to 60, 60 to 70, 70 to 80, and 80 to 90 at the table.
Yep, every decade through the 90s.
And people, some, well, there was no vaccine in the very beginning.
We all decided that we weren't going to live in fear, that we were going to live a full life.
And that is what I advocated.
Nobody was forced to go to those dinners.
Nobody was forced to go to any rally that I spoke to.
Nobody was forced to hug me.
Nobody was forced to pose for a photo with me, with their arm around me.
They could have died in doing so.
I could have died in doing so.
That is exactly correct.
Instead, we decided to live fully.
And I have a better life because of my attitude of embracing life and not living in fear.
Every leftist is a frightened human being.
One of the many reasons I have contempt for the left.
Morbid fear of life.
Tell them that men don't give birth and they get panicked.
They get freaked out.
Tell them that men and women are basically different.
They get freaked out.
Tell a woman she looks good in her outfit as...
Who just did this in...
Who's the football legend who just said this?
I've got to find this.
This is an amazing, amazing...
Terry Bradshaw.
Yeah.
Freaked out.
They're just freaked out on the left.
Terry Bradshaw said, Hey, you've got your cowboy boots out and your shirt.
You're looking good.
And I enjoyed that interview to Aaron Andrews.
And they freaked out on the left.
They're freaked out.
Women are scared by men who say, Hey, you've got your cowboy boots on and your shirt and you're looking good.
These people live in fear of life.
Part of the many reasons I have utter contempt for the left.
Utterly total.
Okay, so now you understand.
I love life.
They fear life.
And they impose their fear on children.
Let's get kids vaccinated.
Let's get kids two years of age in masks.
Okay?
So this thing transcends massively the issue of vaccines.
It has to do with you are scared of living.
And I love life.
That's the difference between left and non-left.
I love life.
Okay?
So yes, people risked their lives in giving me a hug in the last year and a half.
Any of them dropped dead as a result?
Not aware of it.
God almighty, that...
And they're proud of it.
They're proud of their fears.
They're proud of their...
They're walking around quaking with regard to life.
Barry Weiss has this piece.
So 70% of young kids want to snitch on teachers.
Another great victory of the left.
Snitch on your teacher, little kid.
Your teacher might have said, I don't know what.
Oh yes, that Black Lives Matter is a hate group.
Snitch on them.
George Orwell, she quotes, the further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.

I should not have posed for pictures for people.
I should have withdrawn from life.
And what about those people who then interacted with people after hugging me and others at these rallies and at these speeches?
So the answer is, I guess we should all just be locked down in quarantine like in Australia.

Nothing may win.
Country is doomed.

My column this week is about liberals voting for the left despite how evil the left is.
Why liberals vote left is a permanent stain on the record of liberalism, because there's nothing in common between liberalism and leftism.
But they vote for them.
They've been brainwashed to believe we conservatives are their enemy.
It's complete brainwash.
We protect liberal values, we conservatives.
That's the irony.
Yeah.
Just remember Orwell's quote, the further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.
That's why the left hates the right, because we speak the truth.
Texas Senate passes bill requiring athletes to compete on a team that matches birth gender.
To think that that is a radical position, to think that, it's an amazing thing.
Texas Senate passed a bill Friday night that requires student athletes to play on sports teams that match their birth gender and not the gender with which they identify.
The legislation is primed to become law after the State Senate voted 19 to 12 on Friday.
Isn't that amazing?
Twelve people voted against it.
Twelve state senators.
It's okay if biological men compete against biological women.
I'm sure every single one who voted against it was a Democrat.
They're proud of themselves.
Isn't that amazing?
And feminists support this.
I've said all of my life, feminism.
It was not pro-woman.
The Senate floor followed a swiftly held committee meeting where a 24-hour notice rule was suspended and the Senate's Health and Human Services Committee voted to advance the legislation.
Students would only be permitted to compete on sports teams that correspond to the gender listed on their birth certificate.
That was assigned at or near the time of birth.
The problem with that is they may abolish sex on birth certificates.
That's the problem.
If people follow the American Medical Association's advice, there will be no listing of sex at birth.
Be the only animal on earth, the only creature on earth that is not born male or female.

Biggest U.S. retailers charter private cargo ships to sail around port delays.
Then in the New York Times, it's not sustainable.
What America's port crisis looks like up close.
There aren't enough workers.
There aren't enough ships.
You've been the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Transportation.
What do we do?
It's a very dire situation.
You know, when COVID initially hit our shores early in 2020...
I was in Secretary of Transportation, and we quickly focused on keeping the transportation supply chain open so that essential medical supplies, groceries, and other essentials were available.
And that effort actually required some pretty strong measures.
Number one, we decided to ease some restrictions on truckers so that they can keep goods moving.
We made sure that the National Airspace kept airplanes flying because...
And even though at one point, planes were nearly empty of passengers, commercial airliners also routinely transport a lot of goods, especially medical supplies.
You know, remember those early days of the initial lockdowns?
We had hoarding of toilet paper, sanit wipes, shortage of masks.
Stores were putting limits on how much customers can buy of one item.
And more than 70% of domestic freight moved via trucks.
But today's supply chain problems extend all the way where worker shortages and COVID lockdowns have slowed the loading of cargo ships from where they started to U.S. ports, where, as you just mentioned, the other day there were over 60 freighters with tens of thousands of storage containers the other day there were over 60 freighters with tens of thousands of storage containers offshore waiting Keep up with what's trending.

We're also seeing that they want this so-called what they're calling an interactive process.
That's basically an interrogation.
I have clients.
Right now, that they have filed for a religious exemption on the basis of we're pro-life, that's what the Bible teaches.
And I cannot take this vaccine.
And the Human Resources Department, from the legal counsel of these employers, want to sit down and basically interrogate them and say, is this really a sincerely held religious belief?
And they're using this as a pretext to try to deny religious exemptions.
It's absurd, and I hope that when there are more lawsuits filed, like just today...
In Texas, United Airlines was forbidden from enforcing their vaccine mandate against employees who are claiming a religious exemption.
exemption.
So we're already seeing that the courts are protecting this, but hopefully it'll be more than just Texas.

The bill in Texas is another reason to move to Texas.
One of the major supporters and authors of the bill, Republican Representative Valerie Swanson.
I argued that passing the bill was a matter of both fairness and recognizing biological differences between men and women.
It is an astonishing thing to me.
It's astonishing the age in which we live that people believe that it is fair to women to have biological men compete against them.
The ability of people to lie to themselves is wondrous.
Just wondrous.
Ideology has trumped over truth in such a dramatic way.
And this is another example of why you vote Democrat.
You vote for the world of the lie.
It's just the way it is.
This is a true example of what we are referring to.
Yeah, there's no difference between...
If there's no difference between biological males and biological females in sports, why have female teams?
Somebody needs to answer that.
Why have female teams?
That's the question.
Okay, let's see here.
That's cute.
John in Chardon, Ohio wants to know, now that I'm healthy again, are we going to go on a cruise?
Well, the reason we didn't go on a cruise had nothing to do with my health.
I've been healthy for the last year and a half, except for 10 days with COVID. The reason for no cruise is that the cruise lines have made vaccination and masks mandatory.
And I don't know how many people are going to go on cruises as a result of that.
I have no desire to be on a cruise where, first of all, I have natural immunity, which is way better than vaccine immunity.
And secondly, I don't want to wear a mask.
The whole point of a cruise is to enjoy myself.
I don't enjoy myself when I wear a mask.
But everybody's frightened.
Everybody's frightened.
That's correct.
Yep.
Brian in Los Angeles, hello.
Dennis, how are you doing?
Okay.
Yeah, I just wanted to tell your screen caller, I'm a first responder here in Los Angeles County.
And right now with the Board of Supervisors have now mandated that all of us either get vaccinated or upload our information into a database with a company named Fulton Genetics.
And if we don't, we face discipline and or termination.
So, right now there's a pending lawsuit in the county against the Board of Supervisors going against this mandate.
And so I wanted to call and get your thoughts and opinions on it and just get your help in getting the word out.
Well, I'm happy to get the word out.
So send me some information on the lawsuit.
I completely support it.
The audacity of you cannot make an income if you do not get medical attention that we demand that you get.
Even if you are already one who had the virus.
It's an astonishing thing.
I hope they're sued.
Do you realize that it is such a cult, the cult of the vaccine, that in their view, it is better To have fewer police, fewer nurses, fewer doctors, fewer first responders who are not vaccinated than currently.
That is how radical their commitment to vaccines is.
Nerve Renew is one of the few products I asked to advertise on my show, and that is because I suffer from what many people have in their extremities, in my case, feet.
I'm almost born with it.
Tingling, numbness, etc.
I conquered it years ago with inserts in my shoes, special inserts.
Then I read about Nerve Renew, and after a year, I threw away the inserts.
I have not worn them since.
If you have this tingling or numbness, hands or feet, try it.

About your time in the White House, what kind of a ride that was for you.
We played this clip at the beginning, this insanity.
Why didn't you mention this?
You mean the thing I talked about two days ago at length from this point?
But he didn't tweet about it.
I mean, just the sheer insanity.
Talk to us about what that was like to live through.
And then give us your take on what went wrong in the Trump administration.
What went right?
What went wrong?
I mean, look, it was tumultuous.
It was intense.
I think that, look, this goes back to what we were just talking about.
Trump upset the apple cart.
And every president, both parties that come in, need three groups, right?
You need the press, you need donors, and you need sort of the permanent K Street lobbyist types.
Trump's view was, if you want to join me, great, but I don't need you.
And what happened was- Because he won without them.
Yes.
But here's the thing.
I'll say it in a very PG way, but like they're used to having their butt kissed and they're used to people saying, I'd love to have you come over to my house in Georgetown for a dinner party where we can just the ins and outs of the NATO. You know, it's like they want you to, you know, and he was like, look.
I'm doing this.
I'm doing it this way.
If you want to join me, join me.
If you want to join me, great.
But I don't need you.
And it pissed them off.
This, especially the conservatives, you know, who thought that they were, you know, the bell crystals of the world.
What do you mean you're not coming to me for a briefing of a candidate?
How do you do this?
How dare you?
How dare you?
I'm part of the institution.
Right.
Kiss the ring.
I come with the drapes.
You know, and I think that that was upsetting, especially for the press corps.
And that was their thing, is that they were like, You're supposed to do this.
You're supposed to act this way.

Hello, Dennis.
How are you doing?
I'm well, thank you.
Oh, good.
Well, look, this is horrible for our small businesses, which is one of the reasons why we decided to tell them that we're suing them.
We were on a phone call this week with Washington White House officials, and we politely told them the issues and the challenges.
And if any of this doesn't change your mind, we'll see you in court.
What is your case?
Well, we just believe it's a complete government overreach on behalf of OSHA. We just do not believe that they have the regulatory authority, Dennis, in any way, shape or form.
And even if they did, we just don't believe that the danger, actually, that they...
We just don't believe that it presents a health and safety concern, which is really OSHA's mandate.
So where would this appear first?
What's the court?
Well, it would actually be into an appellate court, which, you know, because you've got a few different, because you're actually suing the federal government, you've got a few different cases that are going to be hitting across different districts.
And so we actually believe it will probably be sent into a lottery-type system, so we really don't know which area we'll actually fall in, but we know that it will be a federal court for sure.
Has there ever been such a law?
Not that we're aware of.
You know, and the concern that we expressed to them, Dennis, is that I think we've seen this movie once before when they applied some kind of a regulatory regulation like this over businesses in general, whether it was a small business or large business, and that was Dodd-Frank.
If you think about what happened there, you know, the big banks just got bigger, and the smaller banks, community banks, many of them went away, over 2,000 community banks, The regulatory burden that small businesses have is much larger, and the impact on their business is much larger than it is on large businesses.
Large businesses can absorb these kinds of regulatory overreaches, frankly, and that's why, unfortunately, we've seen the United States Chamber of Commerce, for example, come out in support of the vaccine mandate.
Forgive me for putting it so crudely.
What the hell happened to the Chambers of Commerce?
Well, you know, what's interesting is that in this particular case, I think we really have to make sure we separate state Chambers of Commerce, I think, and also the United States Chamber of Commerce.
We've had a lot of outreach from several state Chambers of Commerce across the country asking, you know, to help us.
Basically, they've offered to help us or to join their efforts.
They seem to be getting it at the state level, but it seems the United States Chamber of Commerce is a different story.
They claim to help large businesses and small businesses, but really in particular on a small business front, I don't see how they think that this is going to help small businesses in any way, shape, or form.
They claim it will?
Yeah.
Well, they say that the best way to help small businesses is to make sure that large businesses succeed.
Which is kind of an interesting way of positioning their advocacy work.
You are a master of the understatement.
Interesting is not the term I would use.
Absurd.
It's absurd.
It's absurd.
It's ridiculous.
You know, we've spoken to many small business owners across the country.
I mean, as you can imagine, our emails, our texts are off the hook because our small business owners are just completely outraged, and they're very concerned.
In this market right now, in this economy, with this kind of labor shortage, they're very concerned that employees of these small businesses can just walk across the street, frankly, and get another job.
You know, we're the business that has less than 100. And, you know, if you have 30, 35 percent, if you're, let's say, a 150, a 200-person business, and you live 30 to 35 percent of the workforce that doesn't want to get vaccinated, you basically have to shut down your business.
And large companies, I mean, they're like, oh, we have 100, 200, 300 people that aren't vaccinated.
We don't really care.
They can just, you know, go find a job somewhere else.
They're fired.
There's almost kind of an indignation in terms of, in fact, how they're treating their employees.
But for small businesses, I mean, which, first of all, they're families, you know, they treat their employees like family.
This is a big deal.
And in many cases, they would literally shut down their businesses.
Do you have any data on what happened to small businesses in the last year and a half?
Oh, well, it has been disastrous.
We actually did a monthly poll.
We do a monthly poll, and it's actually one of the lowest levels right now in terms of optimism for small business owners.
And in fact, just over 10% of small business owners that we polled said that they have actually recovered from the COVID pandemic.
And so they are still in the process of trying to recover, and now they have to deal with the labor shortage, they're dealing with inflation, dealing with supply chain issues.
And so now to put this on top of them, and they can basically vaccine police, you know, de facto, you know, police of the federal government, we're just completely that complete overreach.
We're actually, on our conversation this week with the White House, we said that we should at least They should at least consider pushing that number up from 100 employees up to 500. And leave small businesses.
Give small businesses the reprieve that they desperately need.
Are any Democrats on the side of small business?
Dennis, I have to say, I do not think so.
I haven't seen one single regulation, one single move of this administration, of the Biden administration, that is actually set up to help.
Well, what else needs to be said?
Okay, so quickly, what do you want my listeners to do?
Go to jcn.com, jobcreatorsnetwork.com?
Yes, absolutely, jobcreatorsnetwork.com.

I am in a much stronger position than people who have been inoculated, vaccinated.
Just for the record, CDC director, vaccines no longer prevent you from spreading COVID. This is from August 6th.
Just thought you'd know.
This is from the CDC director, Rochelle Walensky.
Whereas if you have natural immunity, you are in a better position.
I am stopping the spread better than people who have vaccines.
But that will never be reported on CNN because they lie for a living.
They talked about me.
Chris Cuomo talked about me on CNN. They didn't invite me on.
It's so fascinating.
Same Washington Post.
They write a whole column attacking me.
But none of them will actually invite me to speak my piece.
They're scared of me.
I don't blame them.
Because I run circles around them intellectually and in honesty.
That's why.
Can you have another reason?
If I talked about Chris Cuomo, you think I wouldn't invite him on?
God, it's so obvious, my friends.
They fear us for good reason.
As Barry Weiss quoted George Orwell, the further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.
