	Music.
	I heard it.
	Hi, everybody.
	Dennis Prager here.
	And I am awaiting the guest on the line because I have a very special one.
	A lot to talk to you about today.
	I have a very big report from Harvard for you.
	All right.
	Are we on with our guest or not?
	Good.
	I see no name, but I see a line.
	It's just as good.
	David Harsany.
	I am here.
	Good.
	Great to see you.
	Well, I don't see you.
	Senior writer at National Review, nationally syndicated columnist, author of five books.
	I'm one of his readers.
	Eurotrash, why America must reject the failed ideas of a dying continent.
	Well, you know, the irony, David, is that there are a lot in Europe Who are now saying we better reject the woke ideas coming from America.
	What do you say to that?
	Well, they're right about that.
	I think one of the things that we don't do as well that we have here that they don't have is wokeism.
	You know, countries like France and elsewhere have tried, their leaders at least, have tried to reject that kind of thinking.
	And certainly that is a difference that I think Europe does better than us.
	For sure.
	One of the few things, though.
	I'm going to say it again?
	One of the few things you said?
	One of the few things.
	Yeah, right.
	No, no, I couldn't agree with you more.
	I just wanted to point out how bad things are.
	Euro trash must be rejected, but right now there's unfortunate, which kills me to say since I love this country, America trash.
	So it's sort of import-export of trash.
	Anyway, let's get to your theme, why America must reject the failed ideas of a dying continent.
	So there are two big statements in your subtitle, and that is failed ideas and dying continent.
	Let me begin with the latter.
	How is Europe dying, in your view?
	Well, it's dying literally, I guess, by...
	Because it's an old place.
	Europeans do not have children.
	Germany, I believe, is the second year oldest advanced country after Japan.
	And because they don't have children, I think the place loses its vibrancy.
	It becomes more insipid in many ways, but also it has to make up for it by allowing mass immigration.
	And obviously, at least obvious to me, is that there's nothing wrong with immigration itself if you do it right.
	But in Europe, they don't do it right.
	Yeah, setting aside illegal immigration for a minute, our immigration policy has been the most successful in mankind's history.
	We assimilate people in incredible ways.
	I live near D.C. here in my suburb.
	There are people who live next to me who would be killing each other in other situations.
	Pakistanis live next to Indians.
	They send their kids to the same schools, etc.
	This is a miracle, a miracle in human history, and we don't see that in Europe, not today.
	You have generational ghettos.
	Places with extremely high unemployment, but most importantly, people don't accept the ideals of liberalism that once defined European life, or at least, you know, notionally sometimes, but they don't accept it, and there's no assimilation, so it creates all kinds of tensions in society, hyper-nationalistic, blowback, things like that, and it's just unhealthy, and we don't have that, at least not yet.
	I cannot emphasize how important your points are too much.
	So let me just tell my listeners, if they're regular listeners, they've heard me say on a number of occasions, a first-generation Turk in the United States is your neighbor Joe.
	A third-generation Turk in Germany who doesn't speak Turkish, who's fluent in German, is still a Turk.
	And that has been, unless the left stops that because they're dividing Americans for the first time by ethnicity, that has been the unique achievement of our country compared to Europe.
	Is that a fair restatement of what you said?
	Absolutely.
	And the woke kind of outlook where, you know, identitarian, you are your color or you are a Turk rather than an American first.
	That is an incredibly dangerous idea because it divides us in ways that we've never been divided before.
	That's right.
	That's exactly right.
	So, it's a dying continent, literally.
	You don't only mean its ideas are sclerotic.
	They're fading away because they don't give birth.
	Yeah, they're literally not having children.
	Now, we're on the same trajectory, just slower.
	And I should be quickly mentioned as well that some people do have children in Europe, and those are mostly Islamic communities and immigrants.
	And as we mentioned before, if they're not accepting that they're French or German or European...
	Right, so that's no help.
	That's no help for the country, exactly.
	No.
	So, by the way, I'm going to just bounce an idea, if you're completely free to reject it, but I am an outlier in conservative life in that...
	My explanation for not having children is a religious one.
	Secularism does not produce the urge, the need, the value of having children like religion does.
	Well, I will do one better, I think, and tell you that I am a secular person, and I believe that faith is incredibly important in that regard and in many, many others.
	The more religious people are, the more patriotic they are, because the more they believe there's something bigger than themselves.
	They don't look to the state, they look to something bigger.
	And in the United States, that has always been the case.
	The more religious you are, the more you believe in the Constitution, as it's supposed to be believed in, as something not handed to you by government, but by God.
	And in Europe, people have constantly been looking for ways to replace that.
	So they look to fascism or communism, or this giant bureaucratic state they now have.
	And that's why also I think they're having fewer children.
	I think that's why they don't treat life the way we do, with the respect that we do.
	And that leads to a lot of the other problems we see.
	See, you're my ideal.
	I don't care whether a person is religious or secular.
	I care whether they understand how important religion is.
	You're in the latter category, and I'm just thrilled to hear that.
	As I said, I don't care what you are personally, but to understand the centrality of faith to the democratic Western experiment, that's what matters to me.
	It is, yeah, I mean, it's so vital in the United States, more than people, I think, understand.
	There are, in this country, there has been a competition, not only economically, but of faith, and the way faiths compete against each other for parishioners, let's say, or through ideas, but it's always been a big part of community and localism and things like that and family.
	And without it, this is why I oppose a welfare state as well, because it just takes...
	It elbows out charity.
	It elbows out churches.
	It starts to dictate morality to you.
	And I don't trust politicians to do that.
	And that, I think, is just a big problem with the welfare state in Europe and the growing welfare state that progresses for the most part when I build here.
	God, those words are gems.
	So again, the subtitle of David Harsanyi's book, Eurotrash, which is up at DennisPrager.com, is Why America Must Reject the Failed Ideas of a Dying Continent.
	So, we first discussed the dying continent.
	Now let's talk about the gist of the book, the failed ideas.
	Why don't you give them an order of importance?
	The most important, as I just mentioned, though it's not as exciting to talk about, is the gigantic bureaucratic state in Europe.
	It's layered from top-down European Union and so on.
	The European Union actually was based on the idea of American federalism initially in the 50s when people first began talking about it, but it's lost.
	It's become much more centralized where it's crushing.
	We're trying to crush local cultures in the way that Hungarians have a long culture.
	It wasn't born yesterday.
	It matters to them.
	And French have their own, et cetera.
	But the European Union tries to make everyone essentially be the same or more like Germany, I guess.
	The problem with that, of course, is that you see it in America recently.
	The CDC starts running the country.
	Or, you know, Donald Trump's elected and the State Department decides they can't be president.
	This is a dangerous thing for any kind of democratic state or republic.
	So that to me is, and that ties into the welfare state, so that's problematic.
	The loss of faith is problematic.
	But immigration policy is problematic.
	But also, there's a cultural difference that Americans are self-selected risk-takers.
	When you come here, you are probably willing to take on more risk.
	That's why we're more creative.
	That's why we're more entrepreneurial-minded.
	That's why we live in a meritocracy.
	Those things don't happen in Europe, and it's partly because of how they are.
	They're more docile than we are, I think, in general.
	But also, I think it's because of the culture and the high levels of regulation.
	Good.
	All right.
	I want to talk about that when we come back.
	Eurotrash.
	Why America Must Reject the Failed Ideas of a Dying Continent.

	Bank transactions.
	The Democrats want the IRS to snoop around and check out.
	What you're doing if you have a bank account with more than six hundred dollars in it.
	They want to get involved in your PayPal transactions.
	You're sending money to your kids.
	The IRS wants to know all about that.
	They think they can drag more money out of us.
	Like the IRS. And the Democrats' scheme is we've got to figure a way to pay for all this crap.
	All this spending the Democrats want.
	Okay, here's where we can do it.
	Let's go audit a bunch of people and let's go check out grandma sending $601 to their grandkid via PayPal.
	And when a reporter pointed out to Pelosi that Americans are livid about this and is it going to stay in your reconciliation bill?
	Pelosi had a very predictable answer.
	Yes, there are concerns that some people have.
	But if people are breaking the law and not paying their taxes, one way to track them is through the banking measure.
	I think $600.
	That's a negotiation that will go on as to what the amount is.
	But yes.
	Yes.
	You think a multimillionaire like Nancy Pelosi cares about a hardworking person being tracked?
	By the IRS, if you have a transaction over $600, yeah, some people are calling the bank.
	You better call your bank.
	You got a relationship with a local banker?
	You better call him or her.
	and you enter demand, there be a pushback.

	Everybody talking about America and Europe.
	Why America must reject the failed ideas of a dying continent.
	The book is Euro Trash, David Harsany.
	Before I return to him, one arena where we are really different is the entrepreneurial spirit which makes small business.
	So I bring to your attention the most pro, most defending institution of small business in the United States, Job Creators Network.
	They want you to know about them, so just go to JobCreatorsNetwork.com.
	They're not asking you for money.
	They are asking you for participation to the extent that you can, but at least awareness of them.
	The bigger their list, the more clout they have.
	They want to build an army of small business advocates.
	That's JobCreatorsNetwork.com.
	I love these people.
	I know them well, and I adore them.
	All I ask you to do is go to their website.
	JobCreatorsNetwork.com.
	David Harsany is my guest.
	National Review, syndicated columnist, etc.
	And Sean, just a note that once again I was kicked off the internet here.
	This is now a daily occurrence.
	I know, I'm well aware, I'm well aware that doesn't answer my problem, but that is the way it goes.
	David Harsanyi's book, again, Euro Trash.
	So, the worst of the ideas is not, as you pointed out, even used the term, is not sexy.
	Big government.
	And yet, that is it.
	That's the crusher of everything.
	And that was imported...
	To the best of my knowledge, at the end of the 19th century from Germany, Bismarck created a socialist government to keep Germans from moving to America, and the rest is history.
	Is that fair?
	Yeah, I mean, I think it's been a fight since then, and Germany had a great bureaucracy after that.
	Even Austria-Hungary had a huge bureaucracy, it was well known.
	And this was government.
	Stifling innovation, creating dependency.
	And, you know, it's lasted until now.
	Though I have to say, after World War II, many European countries, or some European countries, especially the losers of that war, adopted American ideas about capitalism for a bit and had huge economic growth, including Nordic nations, actually, who only began adopting more socialistic or more, I wouldn't even call it socialist, more statist viewpoints in the 70s.
	And then their growth actually slowed from that point on.
	Right.
	Because socialism spends the money that capitalism creates.
	Right.
	You can't afford a big government if there's no money being created.
	So is there any country on earth, now that America has become Europeanized by the Democratic Party, is there any country on earth that believes in limited government?
	I don't think so.
	I mean, you know, listen, we're not a perfect country, obviously.
	It almost doesn't need to be said.
	No one believes that.
	But there are some European countries that are better than others as well.
	You know, I think a country like Switzerland has lower regulatory burdens, etc.
	But I just want to quickly say, I also don't think that Americans realize how rich they are sometimes, just on per capita basis.
	One stat that really, you know, sort of What surprised me was that Britain, if you took Britain, we invaded Britain, made it a state, it would be the second poorest state in the Union after Mississippi per capita.
	Most European states would be in the bottom third.
	It's not even close.
	You know, a lot of people praise Hungary, and I actually am sympathetic with some of the things they're doing there.
	I understand why they're doing it, but they have, their per capita wealth is $10,000 under an average person in Mississippi.
	I just think the wealth we generate on the scale we do, when you're talking about Sweden, I think it has 9 million people.
	We have 350 million people.
	We're constantly allowing new people to come in here who are also generating build wealth.
	There is no...
	I have challenged people to show me a single immigrant group that comes here that does worse at home than here.
	That includes Scandinavians.
	It includes the British.
	Anyone.
	And you can't because it doesn't happen.
	What a great series of points.
	We don't know what we have.
	Well, we conservatives do.
	The non-conservatives, meaning everybody who teaches our children, they don't.
	You know, I studied in England.
	My junior year abroad was in England.
	And I remember one of the things that most opened my eyes was visiting homes of people in the middle class.
	I mean, truly middle class.
	And I just remember thinking, in the U.S., this is not middle class.
	The middle class is way richer than the middle class here.
	People go to tourist sites, you know, on vacation, and they think that's Europe, right?
	So they don't understand.
	I'm not sure if I have the number exactly right, but I think an average home in the United States is around 1,000 square feet bigger than the average home in Europe.
	Right, right.
	Now, people want us to feel guilty about that.
	I don't.
	I think it's great.
	I think that we basically live in mansions.
	Most people in the middle class, out in suburbs, live in what would be considered mansions by European standards.
	So, the first and foremost lousy idea that America got from Europe is big government.
	Bureaucracy.
	Talk about Brussels for a moment.
	I don't think people understand how squashing the EU is of individual countries.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, the European Union, as I mentioned, was based on the American idea of federalism, where nation-states would have their own freedom to educate their own kids, say, or deal with things that weren't, you know, bad economic.
	We're breaking up here.
	Why does this happen, ladies and gentlemen?
	Well, I'm sorry, David.
	I lost you for about 10 seconds there.
	Sorry, can you hear me now?
	You're breaking up again.
	By the way, talking about America and its companies, basically our phone companies stink.
	I had better connection in Africa.
	On cell phones than I do in the United States.
	I mean, that's one example of failed capitalism in America.
	And I can't explain it.
	Maybe because they don't have any competition.
	I don't know what it is.
	Anyway, it happens with guests almost every day.
	So go on.
	We're talking about the EU. Right.
	Can you hear me now?
	Yes, I can.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Sorry about that.
	Well...
	Yeah, I mean, it's crushing now.
	If you look at Eastern Europe and Hungary, who have passed laws that protect their national ideals, or that protect, or are more social conservative in nature, the EU will immediately come down on them and try to punish them for it.
	It undermines national self-determination.
	And I always think to myself, and others have said that, you know, there's no one who's going to pick up a rifle and defend the European Union.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	It is just an economic, Alright, - All right, back in a moment, Eurotrash is the book.
	- Training now on the Charlie Kirk Show.
	- Justice is something a country must at least attempt to get right.
	You're going to have things that fall through the cracks.
	You're going to have externalities.
	You're going to have issues.
	But you have to at least try to make a country just.
	The current regime is basically saying we don't even want to attempt.
	To preserve the American ideal of justice.
	That justice is nothing more than us being in charge and you being under our power.
	Socrates said, Is it not the purpose of a juryman's office to give justice his favor to whoever seems good to him, but to judge according to the law?
	This is what he has sworn to do.
	Are people in charge?
	Our leaders were sworn to protect our country.
	1.7 million people just waltz right into the country.
	They get to have anchor babies.
	The other side wants to give them amnesty, wants to make them citizens.
	This is not sustainable.
	We know it's not sustainable.
	And the ruling class, and both parties, by the way, the Republican Party and the Democrat Party, they want this for votes.
	They want this for government dependency.
	They want this for cheap labor.
	Now, I'm pleased to see that Texas is now stepping up and saying, we're not going to put up with this.
	Texas needs to defy federal authority, arrest every single person that comes from this caravan.
	They need to be welcoming this caravan, not with benefits and signs, but with handcuffs and chartered flights back to right where they came from, immediately.
	No questions asked.
	Don't put them in front of a judge.
	Put them on a plane and get them back.
	They broke the law.
	That would be justice.
	A seven-year-old would say, yeah, they deserve to go back.
	because they broke our laws.

	Trending now on The Hugh Hewitt Show.
	Well, this is the defining issue down the stretch because at the end of the day, Terry McAuliffe can't explain Why he thinks parents shouldn't have a role in their kids' education.
	He just can't do it because there's no explanation.
	All he wants is big government to stand between parents and their kids so that they, in fact, can continue to do what the left liberal progressive party wants to do, which is to keep individual rights in the drawer and have big government decide everything.
	That's what it is.
	And, oh, by the way, Hugh, this education issue flies right in the face of the entire left establishment.
	I mean, it's not just big government.
	It's Hollywood.
	It's everybody else.
	And so this is why, down the stretch here, this basic issue of parents having a fundamental right to be engaged in their kids' education is one that Terry McAuliffe can't explain because he knows the answer is just so offensive to so many people, why he thinks big government should impose on parents' rights, and why parents are all standing up with us.
	I mean, this is not a campaign.
	It is a movement now.
	It is a movement, and I was called last night by my daughter, who saw my schedule, and said, please ask Glenn Youngkin if he will get the Virginia schools some common sense on COVID. Now, two of my three grandchildren have COVID, but the oldest one, who hasn't, and has tested negative four times, can't go to school for 24 days in Virginia.
	The quarantine rules, along with the CRT in Loudoun County, along with the attempt to marginalize parents at Terry McAuliffe, have you heard that the COVID rules are driving moms crazy?
	Parents have had it.
	They've just had it across the board.
	I mean, think about it.
	It started with parents standing up for one simple basic request.
	Open our schools.

	The book is up at my website, dennisprager.com.
	So, one of the responses that I hear regularly, including sometimes from callers to this program, is, what are you talking about?
	Don't they have great nationalized health care?
	I know you addressed that.
	I'd like you to do so now.
	Yes, European healthcare is fine.
	I don't think in any way better than ours, other than cheaper because the government pays for it, which in the end isn't really cheaper for the average taxpayer, of course.
	But quite often in other times, in England or in Britain, for instance, you have waiting times and lines for routine surgeries, for instance, that no American would stand for here.
	The idea that they have better access there in general is, I think, untrue.
	The arguments they make for why we should adopt that kind of policies are misleading.
	I'll give just a quick example of longevity and how long we live.
	You know, they keep pointing out to European numbers that are higher, but that has nothing to do with health care.
	It has to do with things like our driving.
	We drive much more.
	We have higher vehicular deaths.
	Unfortunately, we have higher murder rates here, too, another thing that we don't do as well as Europe.
	And those things, however problematic they are, they have nothing to do with health care delivery.
	It has to do with other things.
	It's lifestyle choices we make.
	By the way, just on that issue, because I know some doctors extremely well, they're in my family, the longevity issue is also skewed in that We have far more children born to unwed mothers,
	and their ability to live beyond early childhood is profoundly compromised by their family circumstance, which does not reflect in any way on American health care.
	So it's not politically correct to note that, but not politically correct is a euphemism for true.
	So I thought that should be mentioned.
	So you talk about the health care.
	So, in other words, let me ask you this.
	A middle class individual, European middle class, which is lower than U.S. middle class, nevertheless, middle class person who has something wrong and needs surgery will be better off in which continent, the U.S. or Europe?
	In the United States, and you know how we know that?
	Because when people in Europe have enough money in Britain, for instance, because they need a certain kind of surgery, they fly to the United States to get it.
	I have numbers in the book, I don't remember them offhand, about the numbers of people who come to the United States for medical care.
	That's from Canada as well, where they have a similar European-style system.
	Now, it has to be said that not every country in Europe has the same medical healthcare delivery system, so it's different.
	In Britain, it's...
	Basically, it is a socialized system where the government runs the hospitals.
	And I have listed horror stories in my book about what happens to an average person in England, for instance, who needs knee surgery or something like that.
	They have long, long waits, and it's not as simple as leftists make it out to be.
	What about, I know you have a chapter on the Nordic countries that, again, people say, They're the happiest countries in the world, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
	What do you say to that?
	Well, the first problem with all that is scaling those systems to the United States.
	You'd have to tax people at a very high rate, and you'd have to tax the middle class and the poor to make it work, and add a consumption tax on top of it.
	It's just incredibly expensive.
	But they are happy there because that's how Scandinavians are.
	I have a poll in there about the Finns, 91% of them support the government, always, no matter who's in the government, because that's how they are.
	We're not that kind of nation.
	We're a diverse nation.
	We have many different backgrounds and cultures, and we have many different ideologies and ideas about the world.
	We don't have that kind of uniformity of thought.
	We're not that docile or pliable, and it just wouldn't work here, even if we wanted it to.
	But as I said at the very beginning, the worst part of it would be the massive bureaucracy that would be needed to make that happen.

	Thirty years have passed since Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
	His tenure there has been consequential indeed.
	He's the court's foremost proponent of natural law, an understanding that our individual rights are transcendent and come from God.
	This understanding undergirds his approach to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, powerfully informing the justices' unyielding commitment to limited government and equal justice before the law.
	Over the last five years, Justice Thomas has authored more opinions than any of his colleagues on the Supreme Court.
	His influence only continues to grow.
	And he's beloved by the scores of people who know him.
	He knows the names of the children of the marshals who guard the courthouse.
	He's mentored generations of clerks, treating them like family.
	And his distinctive, hearty laugh rings out within his judicial chambers.
	May God bless this great, good, and brilliant man.
	And may he serve on the court many years longer.

	The union for the referees, however, has voted for in favor of a vaccine mandate, but the players have not.
	And Kyrie Irving is refusing to get vaccinated.
	New York City is one of, I think, two cities that is requiring proof of having been vaccinated in order to play.
	Here's what he said again.
	I know I can use my platform to spread positivity and spread light on the things that matter to me.
	You know, and I just care about our world a lot.
	And if I'm going to be demonized for that, at least let me go out on my own accord.
	You know, first things first, this isn't about me and it's not about me dispelling, you know, what's being said about me particularly or for anybody.

	Everybody's entitled to their own opinions.
	Everybody's entitled to do what they feel is best for themselves, you know, and putting me as a hero or painting me as a villain, sort of say, or going against the vaccine mandates.
	Like, that wasn't my intent at all.
	And to be sitting in this seat here and seeing...
	You know, the way that this is dividing our world up, you know, being vaccinated or being unvaccinated, you know, it's just sad to see.
	It's creating a lot of division, a lot of confusion, you know, a lot of people saying things that are untrue.
	We're not giving space for each other to speak.

	Again, hello.
	Dennis Prager here.
	Hello, Dennis.
	It's a first-time caller, and I really enjoy your show, and also, Prager, you.
	Thank you.
	This weekend, friends of ours called us because their adult children had COVID and wanted us to get some for my wife, who's an M.D. To order some ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for them.
	And we called four pharmacies before she was capable of finding a pharmacy to fill the order.
	And this is a doctor?
	This is a medical doctor.
	They told her that unless...
	She gave an ICD-10 code that was acceptable for the drugs that they would not kill it.
	To the best of my knowledge, it's the first time in American history that pharmacies are saying no to doctors.
	And can I mention the names of the pharmacies?
	Absolutely.
	Go right ahead.
	CBS? Walgreens.
	We had to find a small pharmacy.
	That's right.
	Another argument for the demolition of gigantic enterprises in this country.
	Big business is the enemy of the United States.
	Oh, it's coercion.
	It's coercion.
	They're corrupt, and they're ruining whatever it is that they make, and they're ruining the country with their radical left-wing People like Nike and Coca-Cola and Disney.
	I mean, it's endless.
	I don't know of an exception.
	Big business is the enemy of the United States.
	The left said that all through its history.
	Now they are the biggest allies of big business.
	The left and big business are the same thing, which is the breeding ground of fascism when big business and government collude.
	To suppress people's rights.
	That's what's happening in the United States.
	I have said this all of my life.
	Big business is no ally of American values.
	All of my life.
	Because it was true when Lenin did business with American companies.
	American companies would sell to the devil.
	They do sell to the devil.
	The NBA, the whore of the NBA with regard to China?
	America's a cesspool according to the NBA, but China, you can't say a word about China and Tibet.
	A word about China and the Uyghurs.
	A word about China and Hong Kong.
	Not a word!
	Because they're whores at the NBA. And I reserve that term for very special moments.
	That's why I can't watch an NBA game.
	It's a rotten enterprise, the National Basketball Association, if you care about morality.
	If all you care about is basketball, that's a separate issue.
	And I feel bad depriving people of the joy of a sport.
	But the NBA should go out of business, should be reformulated as a decent organization.
	It hates America and loves China.
	How sick can you get?
	That's pretty sick.
	Doctors being denied their prescription by the damn pharmacies.
	It's all a fraud.
	How big a fraud is it?
	Let's listen to the new Surgeon General of Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapeau, whom I know personally, just for full disclosure.
	I had on the show, had dinner with him.
	He's a very special doctor.
	You know why he's special?
	Because he has courage.
	Most doctors are cowards, just like every other profession.
	Why would you expect doctors to be any better human beings than anybody else?
	Here we go.
	Well, you know, guess what?
	Here we are, about 10 months afterward, and we're finding that the data is showing that some of these vaccines The protection from infection is less than 40%, and even less than that for some of them.
	As we now know, these vaccines are not preventing transmission.
	So, sure, they reduce the likelihood of transmission, and even that is sort of questionable depending on how far out you go, but they're not preventing it.
	So this idea that, you know, I've heard some leaders say things like, you know, we'll create safe workplaces by mandating these vaccines.
	They're really decoupled because The infections can still happen whether people are vaccinated or not.
	I mean, that's very obvious, you know.
	And you remember, these people were also telling you that all these breakthrough infections were rare.
	Well, they're obviously not rare.
	In fact, they're common.
	And so that's the truth.
	So this idea that the vaccine mandates are needed to create safe workplaces is a complete lie.
	It's continued to be repeated.
	And you should know that it's not at all backed up by science.
	In fact, the science It says something that's completely the opposite.
	And that's a fact.
	Part of the reason that people are not comfortable, some people are not comfortable with these vaccines, is because the climate of dishonesty, scientific dishonesty, about the science, right, whether it's natural immunity, denial of that in the space of data, or in the case of the vaccines, Open, honest discussions about both effectiveness and safety.
	There's been dishonesty around that.
	The reality of how safe these vaccines are is absolutely not public.
	Healthy people who've had adverse reactions after the vaccines There's been a concerted effort to prevent these types of stories, these experiences, from receiving the attention that they obviously should receive.
	It's completely ridiculous.
	Americans can sense, many Americans can sense, that there's total dishonesty about the safety of the vaccines.
	That's one of the things the governor and I are going to work on.
	Yes.
	Wow.
	The lies and dishonesty pervade by the American medical establishment.
	And now the Surgeon General of the state of Florida is saying this.
	God bless Florida, land that I love.
	Stand beside her and guide her.
	And Texas too.
	And Texas too.
	How bullied are you that Americans are finally waking up, JD?
	Look, I'm very excited about what I'm seeing.
	Certainly in Virginia, but also in Ohio, it feels like there's a real grassroots movement brewing on the conservative movement right now.
	And it's, you know, just like in times past, it's not just the politicos, it's not just the establishment folks.
	Sometimes not even people who are that political, but they're just very fired up about what their kids are teaching.
	Their kids are coming home crying, upset because they're being told that they're a bad person, depending on the color of their skin, and they're just fed up about it.
	And I think it may very well take down Terry McAuliffe, but I certainly think it is the beginning of the movement all across this country that's going to take down a lot of Democrats all over the nation.
	In the break, we were talking to my team here, and somebody said, well, it's neck and neck, and if Glenn loses by three points, that's a big, big deal in any other normal election.
	And here's the reaction I have, J.D. There is no such thing as a normal election after 2016. Do we have any faith that there will be a normal election?
	Talk to us about the recent breaking news about Facebook and the censorship of...
	You've written a piece about it.
	How do we get back to quote-unquote normal, J.D.? Oh, man.
	We've got a lot of work to do.
	You know, Facebook did two things, basically, in the 2020 election, one of which we've known about for a while.
	They basically censored information that was negative about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
	They promoted information that was negative about Donald Trump.
	And I really believe that swung the election in a really important way.

	So here's a piece from Axios.
	Billionaires back new media firm to combat disinformation.
	Disinformation is the way Pravda would describe truth.
	The left calls whatever it differs with disinformation.
	That's what you need to understand.
	A new public benefit corporation backed by billionaires Reed Hoffman, George Soros, and others.
	George Soros is as close to a diabolic figure as I know is living.
	And others, George Soros, I wrote about him about ten years ago.
	You could look it up way before it became a big topic of discussion.
	How to explain such a completely 100% destructive individual.
	Everything he touches is rotten, becomes rotten.
	So they want to combat disinformation.
	That's what they do when they suppress dissent.
	Billionaires, Reid Hoffman, George Soros, and others, launching to fund new media companies and efforts to tackle disinformation.
	The group will be led by Tara McGowan, a former Democratic strategist who previously ran a progressive nonprofit called ACRONYM. That's right.
	This is what they're going to do.
	Huh.
	She points to The Bulwark, a center-right news site founded in opposition to Trumpism.
	As an example of the type of center-right news outlet it could fund, there is nothing center-right about bulwark.
	It's just a Trump-hating group of people who make it possible for the left to destroy the country.
	That's all the bulwark is, if you want to be intellectually honest.
	They have nothing in common with conservatism.
	Nothing.
	Probably every single one of them voted for Joe Biden.
	And I wonder if a single person at Bulwark has actually apologized for voting for Joe Biden.
	Anyway, I don't wonder.
	I'm sure that none did.
	That's what we need, right?
	Another billionaire-funded organization to combat truth.
	This information is the euphemism that the left uses for the word truth.
	I have an incredibly interesting piece from the Harvard Crimson, the Harvard student paper, when we come back.
	Thank you.
	Now on the Eric Metaxas Show.
	Right.
	So this has changed in the culture.
	We now have entire stadiums screaming blank Joe Biden.
	I actually think that in some measure this is a sign of health in the country.
	I don't think you're wrong.
	In fact, my last column I talk about, in essence, what the American people are feeling in terms of how they're being treated by the current administration.
	Now, excuse me, by the way, I'm not saying I approve of it.
	Right.
	It makes me uncomfortable.
	But at the same time, it seems like a strange sign of health that we feel free enough to say that.
	Well, and I don't even know that we necessarily feel free.
	What I would say is that the American people feel like...
	Kind of a battered spouse at this point.
	Okay, you wrote an article.
	And that the administration is so abusive to how they're treating people that this reaction that you're seeing, and it started out in two college football stadiums.
	It's now been in dozens to hundreds.
	It's the new wave.
	NFL teams had it going on this week.
	Talladega or NASCAR or whatever they ran had people chanting it.
	There is something so inherently...
	Abusive about how people are being treated by the government.
	They are, and particularly in a society that wouldn't consider itself particularly crystal-centric.
	And it is, I am actually thankful, to your point, to see a degree of, we're not going to let this abuse continue, even if it's nothing more than using our freedom of speech to say something that's very vulgar and attach it to him.

	Texas needs to defy federal authority, arrest every single person that comes from this caravan.
	They need to be welcoming this caravan, not with benefits and signs, but with handcuffs and chartered flights back to right where they came from.
	Immediately.
	No questions asked.
	Don't put them in front of the judge.

	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	A Harvard...
	See, her year of graduation is 24, so I guess first year or second year.
	Harvard student, pre-med, a black female, has quit Harvard.
	And she wrote in the Harvard Crimson why she is leaving Harvard.
	Which, of course, you all know the reason, or surmise the reason, because Harvard is racist.
	So I'm going to read to you, in its entirety, what this woman wrote in the Harvard Crimson.
	This stuff is impossible to make up.
	The profoundly unhealthy effects leftist lives have on people, white or black, in this case black female, which she makes a big deal about.
	Here it goes.
	To students, teachers, peers, and the Harvard community, this is my official farewell to the pre-medical track here at Harvard.
	I hope it finds you well.
	While this isn't just another story about the toxicity of pre-med culture, getting weeded out or leaving my academic path for some earth-shattering love of another aspiration, it is a story of how white supremacy lives and breathes in each of our bodies, spreading between each of us body-to-body like contagion.
	It is a story of trying to mitigate chronic pain to create the possibility for genuine healing and recovery.
	A story of great act of resistance, a black woman choosing herself.
	Needless to say, black is capitalized.
	So she is leaving the toxicity of pre-med culture at Harvard.
	Wow.
	So, how exactly has it manifested itself, pre-med racist toxicity?
	I took an inorganic chemistry exam the same day that a grand jury failed to charge two police officers with the murder of Breonna Taylor.
	You may recall Breonna Taylor...
	Was in an apartment of a major drug dealer who shot through the door, the drug dealer did, shot police through the door.
	They shot back and she was killed because she was standing next to him supporting this killer, which every drug dealer is, is a killer.
	Almost every one of us knows somebody who has died, usually a young person.
	So much for my sympathy for drug dealers.
	Breonna Taylor was not in her bed, shot by police.
	She was not an innocent bystander.
	And yet, she is depicted in the lying, lying, lying media as a victim of racism, as if they even knew the color of the person behind the door.
	Again, I took an inorganic chemistry exam the same day a grand jury failed to charge two police officers with the murder, notice murder, not even homicide or killing, murder of Breonna Taylor.
	That day my body inhaled molecules of white supremacy as they seeped out of my computer from that proctored Zoom room.
	I gotta remember, these are great lines.
	Inhaled molecules of white supremacy.
	They entered my bloodstream and catalyzed a metabolism that would allow for the invasion of my body by a violently infectious life form.
	This stuff is sick.
	What a wasted mind in this young woman.
	Because she was told her whole life by the left to hate whites.
	This is all this is about.
	This is about white hatred.
	Pure, undiluted racism.
	Poor thing at Harvard Medical School.
	Yep, that's right.
	A chronic pain caused by the perpetuation of lethally unjust practices and compounded by the silence and avoidance between myself and my educators when it comes to black women's lives would make its way through and onto neighboring cells within my physical being.
	This is a black woman at Harvard.
	Poor thing.
	Clearly, clearly the target of hatred on the part of white society.
	This is sick, sick stuff.
	It should be declared as sick stuff.
	Harvard is better off with her leaving.
	The presence of the germ of white supremacy would cause a steric hindrance within me.
	Asteric hindrance.
	I never called anybody a steric hindrance.
	I'm going to adopt that.
	Slowing down and even preventing the reactions of learning and healing that I desperately needed for myself and from others in that moment.
	Her whole objection is based on lies about what happened to Breonna Taylor.
	Just for the record.
	The exam began, and I haven't been able to show up mentally or emotionally in a science class since.
	When white supremacy invades the bodies of those who dare to be black, female, and breathing, and what, by the way, what does that mean?
	Those who dare to be black, female, and breathing.
	Do you get that?
	What do you mean dare?
	Was it a choice?
	She chose a daring choice to be a black, breathing female.
	Whoa, boy.
	This is precious, why I'm reading it to you.
	It's all from the Harvard newspaper, the Harvard Crimson.
	Came out a few days ago.
	Will anybody call it the hate-filled drivel that it is?
	Seriously.
	Will one person at Harvard...
	That was a hate-filled racist rant based on lies that you printed at the Harvard Crimson.
	Nobody will say it, in my opinion.
	Maybe one person.
	I'll speak to her.
	When white supremacy invades the bodies of those who dare to be black, female, and breathing, it reproduces as a crippling affliction it reproduces as a crippling affliction that is a human being.
	that accompanies us everywhere, physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
	The weeks I had spent preparing for that exam could never amount to the time and energy I have spent mourning Breonna Taylor.
	Wow.
	This just proves how little racism there is in the United States.
	but That she has spent all this time mourning Breonna Taylor as if she was the victim of white racist police, which she was not.
	The time I would spend understanding electrons and balancing reactions Would never amount to the years I have spent watching those whose skin was saturated with melanin like mine lose their lives.
	Really?
	What is she referring to?
	Presumably police.
	How many unarmed blacks are killed a year by police?
	18?
	20?
	I don't remember the exact number.
	Does she mourn all the blacks killed by blacks?
	Because...
	Her left-wing allies don't give a damn about blacks killed by blacks?
	Truly don't?
	They don't give a damn.
	In fact, they help kill more blacks by reducing the number of police in black areas.
	Is that what she meant?
	Is that whose melanin she is mourning?
	Kindred melanin?
	This is what goes for intelligence at Harvard.
	I will continue in a moment.

	Harvard Pre-Med has quit Harvard.
	There isn't a single reason given here except for the white supremacist toxicity that permeates Harvard and especially Pre-Med.
	This self-pitying pathology is all it is.
	Self-pitying pathology.
	The woman is a hater.
	But nobody at Harvard will say that.
	Harvard, like almost every university in this country, has no regard for truth.
	Because truth takes courage, and very few people are courageous.
	It's as simple as that.
	So let me return.
	When white supremacy invades the bodies of those of us who dare to be black, female, and breathing, it reproduces as a crippling affliction that accompanies us everywhere, physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
	The weeks I had spent preparing for that exam could never amount to the time and energy I have spent mourning Breonna Taylor.
	The time I would spend understanding electrons and balancing reactions would never amount to the years I have spent watching those whose skin was saturated with melanin like mine lose their lives.
	Just an ignorant lie.
	Because the implication is, with regard to police, you know that the likelihood of a white being randomly murdered by a black is so much greater than a black being murdered by a white?
	Is there one person at Harvard who would actually announce that?
	Because this entire screed is built on lies?
	I held study sessions for myself alongside silent prayer recitations for the justice I knew would probably never come.
	That is in the Breonna Taylor officer's trial.
	And still I showed up to my exam in all my black womanness.
	Wow.
	That's powerful stuff.
	Despite the heartache that would be ignored, unseen, and unacknowledged, what were they supposed to do with the exam?
	Say, you're here in all your black woman-ness, and therefore what?
	I could have asked to take that inorganic chemistry exam another day, but it would have required me to release my breath to plead for the need to catch it.
	I could have put my racial trauma on display.
	Trauma, wow.
	She has it so good that she considers this to be traumatic.
	This girl doesn't know from trauma.
	That's right, she could have taken it another day, yes.
	I could have put my racial trauma on display to beg professors, teaching fellows, and preceptors to consider a black woman's funeral worthy of an excused absence.
	Really?
	But I couldn't bear the harrowing reality that I was mourning while white America was not.
	In the months to come, the symptoms of the infection of white supremacy, transmitted across bodies from professor to pupil, peer to peer, educators to learners, in the pre-med academic space, sent me into a prolonged battle with recurring pain as I struggled with trying to fight while also trying to survive.
	Sounds like a Jew in Nazi Germany.
	Poor thing.
	A black woman at Harvard Medical School trying to survive.
	I continue to show up as I did the day of that first exam because that is what good pre-med students do.
	What's more...
	Is that it's what black women are supposed to do for everyone and everything, even at the cost of ourselves?
	Showing up at an exam?
	Is it the cost of yourself?
	So out of fear of what would happen if I didn't persist, whose life I wouldn't save, whom I would be doing a disservice, I kept choosing to put up with an affliction that didn't serve me as fatigue and trauma reverberated within my body. I kept choosing to put up with an affliction that Little did I realize that the most radical act of resistance would have been choosing my wellness and my health.
	Radical act of resistance.
	Poor thing.
	Thirteen months, two biology courses, one in organic chemistry course and half in organic chemistry course later.
	The germ of white supremacy still shows up in my body every time I enter the Science Center C Lecture Hall or its Zoom Room equivalent.
	Written between my answers on every problem set and at the point of my pencil on every exam are the physical and psychological wounds marking my agonizing pain as it spreads through my body.
	Agitating my brain and cramping the muscle that is my heart.
	But no more.
	I have chosen a path to justice and healing that is rooted in self-love and preservation.
	That's true.
	It's rooted in, I would say, narcissism rather than self-love.
	For black women, self-care is an act of liberation.
	It disrupts systems of power, even at places like Harvard, that hold a stake in patriarchy and institutionalized racism.
	Get that, Harvard?
	And all of the wimps that teach there will go, oh, is that true?
	That is so true.
	Patriarchy and institutionalized racism here.
	It is a way for us to free ourselves and dilute our pain from historical patterns of trauma caused by everyday violences.
	What is she referring to?
	Yes.
	I wonder if any comment called this pathology what it is.
	I'll try to look that up.
	Trending now on America First with Sebastian Berkett.
	How buoyed are you that Americans are finally waking up, JD?
	Look, I'm very excited about what I'm seeing.
	Certainly in Virginia, but also in Ohio, it feels like there's a real grassroots movement brewing on the conservative movement right now.
	And it's, you know, just like in times past, it's not just the politicos, it's not just the establishment folks.
	Sometimes not even people who are that political, but they're just very fired up about what their kids are teaching.
	Their kids are coming home crying, upset, because they're being told that they're a bad person, depending on the color of their skin, and they're just fed up about it.
	And I think it may very well take down Terry McAuliffe, but I certainly think it is the beginning of the movement all across this country that's going to take down a lot of Democrats all over the nation.
	In the break, we were talking to my team here, and somebody said, well, it's neck and neck, and if Glenn loses by three points, that's a big, big deal in any other normal election.
	And here's the reaction I have, J.D. There is no such thing as a normal election after 2016. Do we have any faith that there will be a normal election?
	Talk to us about the recent breaking news about Facebook and the censorship of...
	You've written a piece about it.
	How do we get back to, quote-unquote, normal, J.D.? Oh, man.
	We've got a lot of work to do.
	Facebook did two things, basically, in the 2020 election, one of which we've known about for a while.
	They basically censored information that was negative about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
	They promoted information that was negative about Donald Trump.
	And I really believe...
	that swung the election in a really important way.

	The current regime is basically saying we don't even want to attempt to preserve the American ideal of justice.
	That justice is nothing more than us being in charge and you being under our power.
	Socrates said it is Is it not the purpose of a juryman's office to give justice his favor to whoever seems good to him, but to judge according to the law?

	Back, black pre-med, she's quitting Harvard because of its toxic white supremacy and patriarchy and institutionalized racism. she's quitting Harvard because of its toxic white supremacy and Germ of white supremacy shows up in her body.
	She is Suffer trauma because of the Breonna Taylor case.
	I like this one, though.
	I've got to look this up.
	The presence of the germ of white supremacy would cause a steric hindrance within me.
	Sean, look up steric hindrance, because I admit that's a foreign term to me.
	S-T-E-R-I-C, hindrance.
	Final paragraph.
	For black women, self-care is an act of liberation.
	Like everything else, what the hell does that mean?
	So, for a white woman, self-care is not an act of liberation.
	For a Hispanic woman, is it?
	For a man...
	I don't understand what that means.
	Self-care is an act of liberation.
	Well, oh, she goes on to explain it.
	It disrupts systems of power, even at places like Harvard.
	So if she takes care of herself, it disrupts Harvard's patriarchy and institutionalized racism.
	Wow.
	It is a crucial aspect of embracing and valuing our dignity and self-worth because trauma doesn't have to be our destiny.
	We deserve to heal, to grow, to change.
	And sometimes it looks like distancing ourselves from potentially toxic or infectious scenarios or spaces to protect our energy and safeguard it.
	For our own well-being.
	And it's as revolutionary as any path, career or otherwise, we could ever choose.
	Kyla Golding, 24, a Crimson Editorial Editor.
	Wow.
	Definition of steric hindrance.
	Steric hindrance is a phrase used in organic chemistry to describe how a molecule's physical structure can affect its ability to react.
	When a molecule is bulky, meaning it has multiple bonds to compounds or groups other than hydrogen, it can slow down or even prevent another molecule from efficiently finding the desired bond site in a reaction.
	I know.
	That was helpful.
	It's the best single term I could use for this definition of steric hindrance.
	So how does she use steric hindrance in her piece?
	The presence of the germ of white supremacy would cause a steric hindrance within me.
	A molecule is going to affect its ability to react.
	Okay, there we go.
	The power of white supremacy to affect steric hindrance is not one that...

	I actually think that in some measure this is a sign of health in the country.
	I don't think you're wrong.
	In fact, my last column I talk about, in essence, what the American people are feeling in terms of how they're being treated by the current administration.
	Now, excuse me, by the way, I'm not saying I approve of it.
	Right.
	It makes me uncomfortable.
	But at the same time, it seems like a strange sign of health that we feel free enough.
	To say that...
	Well, and I don't even know that we necessarily feel free.
	What I would say is that the American people feel like kind of a battered spouse at this point.
	Okay, you wrote an article.
	And that the administration is so abusive to how they're treating people that this reaction that you're seeing, and it started out in two college football stadiums.
	It's now been in dozens to hundreds.
	It's the new wave.
	NFL teams had it going on this week.
	Talladega or NASCAR or whatever they ran had people chanting it.
	There is there is something so inherently abusive about how people are being treated by the government.
	They are in a particularly in a society that wouldn't consider itself particularly uh crystal centric and it is I am actually thankful to your point to see a degree of We're not going to let this abuse continue, even if it's nothing more than using our freedom of speech to say something that's very vulgar and attach it to him.

	His tenure there has been consequential indeed.
	He's the Court's foremost proponent of natural law, an understanding that our individual rights are transcendent and come from God.

	Over the last five years, Justice Thomas has authored more opinions than any of his colleagues on the Supreme Court.
	His influence only continues to grow.
	And he's beloved by the scores of people who know him.
	He knows the names of the children of the marshals who guard the courthouse.
	He's mentored generations of clerks, treating them like family.
	And his distinctive, hearty laugh rings out within his judicial chambers.
	May God bless this great, good, and brilliant man.
	and may he serve on the court many years longer.
	The court is a great place to be in the court.
	The court is a great place to be in the court.
	If you believe that, then you have some compassion for the peace.
	I have no compassion for the peace.
	I think she's a hater.
	Philip in Chicago doesn't agree with me, so he...
	He gets right on the show.
	Hi.
	Thank you for having me.
	I mean, that's pretty obvious that you have no compassion, you have no empathy.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	I have no compassion or empathy for her or for you, but I have deep compassion and empathy.
	Can I get my point out?
	No, no, you can't make a point and then allow a lie to be perpetuated on my show.
	I have answered your lie.
	I am filled with compassion and empathy.
	I don't have it for those who don't deserve it.
	I knew you were going to do this.
	You weren't going to let me have my voice.
	Okay, sir, this is the oldest trick in the leftist book.
	You throw out a lie, I respond, and then you say, I knew you would do this, Dennis.
	It's my opinion.
	Your opinion is a lie.
	Go ahead.
	Okay, it's a lie.
	Thank you very much.
	But it's my opinion.
	And the other thing is this lady in Chicago where the police raided her house and she's standing there naked.
	Wrong apartment.
	Breonna Taylor was killed.
	So for black women, it doesn't matter if she's at Harvard or Yale, it doesn't matter.
	She's a black woman in America that's been exposed to these type of crimes by the police.
	And again, for you being a male or white male, it doesn't matter.
	You can't see that?
	You can't have any feeling or any empathy for that?
	I have no empathy for lies.
	Breonna Taylor was helping a despicable drug dealer standing next to him and killed accidentally by the police.
	That's a lie?
	He was not a drug dealer?
	That's a lie!
	Wait, what is a lie?
	What was a lie?
	Dennis, did they find any drugs in the house?
	Okay, that was the indictment.
	I don't know if they found drugs in the house.
	The guy had a long record.
	You mean, you think, let me ask you a question.
	You think the police just showed up at a place to kill blacks?
	Is that what you believe?
	No, but they make mistakes, Dennis.
	And most times, when they're over-policing black communities, they make the most mistakes.
	Really?
	Why do they kill more unarmed whites than unarmed blacks every year?
	So, do you want to use that as, do you want to change the subject now?
	That is the subject.
	You said that they pick on blacks.
	You're lying to me again.
	They don't pick on blacks.
	No, I said they over-police.
	They don't over-police blacks.
	They under-police blacks.
	That's why so many blacks are being killed.
	You're the one who lacks empathy and compassion for your fellow blacks.
	Okay, why don't they over-police whites?
	Because whites are killing blacks.
	What?
	Whites are killing blacks?
	You know what the ratio of...
	Whites at a 90% clip kill other whites.
	Yes, that's correct.
	That is correct.
	Okay, so...
	Believe me, whites would like more police in white areas.
	That is correct.
	I mean, I'm just saying, if this calls to over-police...
	Okay, y'all don't like that term.
	If this calls to put more police in black areas, why not put more police in white areas?
	Because whites are committing...
	Right, okay.
	So you think whites are as big a danger to whites as blacks are to blacks?
	I'm just clarifying what you were saying.
	I'm saying that it's crime all over America.
	Okay.
	Well, fine.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Glad you called.
	We have another black caller from San Antonio.
	Robbie.
	Hello, Robbie.
	Hey, how's it going, Dennis?
	Okay.
	Okay, Dennis, don't worry about that dude.
	I'm a black dude, okay?
	I'm a black dude.
	I'm ex-military.
	I'm from Mississippi, all right?
	So you already know what I've been through.
	But the idea is that what I want to say is that this is what I've been trying to teach people for the last 10-15 years.
	Look, the white liberals use us as pawns to get what they want.
	This girl, right, wanted to go to Harvard.
	Well, come on.
	She knew what kind of place Harvard was before she went there.
	She should expect that.
	Harvard been like this since I was a kid.
	I knew about Harvard when I was a kid.
	And so my thing is that here she is.
	Talking about this school is so bad.
	Well, why she didn't choose a historical black college?
	You see my point?
	Well, you're right.
	Even more remarkably, she says it's pre-med that's racist.
	Apparently, pre-geography is not racist.
	Exactly.
	I'm from Mississippi.
	My niece is a dentist, and she's a dentist specialist, which means that she's one of the top dentists in Mississippi, right?
	I'm trying to figure out how she made it through without a problem.
	And so when I hear these people talk all the time, especially black people, like they do on the phone before, it's like Breonna Taylor.
	Okay, if you live in...
	Okay, Dennis, I'm going to make it clear to you.
	In the hood?
	In the hood.
	Well, most people don't go.
	And why we don't go there?
	Because it's dangerous.
	Breonna Taylor was a drug dealer herself.
	And everybody in the community knew it.
	But guess what?
	The white liberals are not going to tell you that on TV. They're not going to tell you that because they want to paint this picture.
	And so I tell everybody, stop listening to these people.
	These people are bad for you.
	And I'm going to say this and I'm going to let you go.
	Michael X said this in one of his speeches a long time ago.
	And he said, you've got to watch out for the liberals because they're the ones who have to get you instead of the ones down south.
	Boy, boy, is that ever true.
	So it's a very interesting question.
	Two black callers, completely opposite views.
	Why?
	Maybe it's a silly question.
	Whites have opposite views from whites.
	We don't ask that.
	But I do ask that.
	I ask why people come up with leftist views, white or black.
	Why do people believe in lies?
	Because the entire leftist enterprise is a lie.
	Why?
	The pre-med department, does anybody listening really believe that the pre-med department at Harvard University is toxically racist?
	Is there one person, black or white, who believes that?
	We'll be back.

	music Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here.
	A little bit about the Breonna Taylor case might be of interest to you.
	This is from a controversial source, but only because she is such an adamant truth teller, and that is Ann Coulter.
	But I always give you the source so that you can take it or leave it, obviously.
	Contrary to the repeated claim that the police, quote, had the wrong address and the wrong person and the person was in custody, as the Reverend Al Sharpton put it, the police were not at the wrong house at all.
	It seems that Breonna Taylor was knee-deep in the criminal enterprise of her sometime boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, who was running a massive drug operation selling crack, cocaine, and fentanyl to the citizens of Louisville.
	The morning after Brianna was killed, for example, Jamarcus told his baby mama on a police-recorded phone call, this is what you've got to understand.
	Don't take it wrong, but Bri has been handling all my money.
	She's been handling my money.
	She's been handling SH for me, and because it ain't just me.
	He detailed the amounts when an unidentified male got on the line saying, tell cuz Bree got down like 15 grand.
	And she had the 8 grand I gave her the other day, and she picked up another 6 grand.
	And yet the media credulously repeated that Breonna Taylor barely knew Jamarcus, based on the family's lawyer, Sam Aguirre.
	Saying they had broken up two years earlier and only had a passive friendship.
	Anyway, the article goes on and I don't have the time to read the rest of it.
	Anyway, the point has nothing to do with Breonna Taylor.
	The woman is leaving pre-med, which is very odd in and of itself.
	She's leaving one department?
	I mean, if she left Harvard because it's patriarchal and racist, I'd understand that.
	But pre-med is specifically patriarchal and toxic with its racism?

	How buoyed are you that Americans are finally waking up, JD?
	Look, I'm very excited about what I'm seeing.
	Certainly in Virginia, but also in Ohio, it feels like there's a real grassroots movement brewing on the conservative movement right now.
	And it's, you know, just like in times past, it's not just the politicos, it's not just the establishment folks.
	Sometimes not even people who are that political, but they're just very fired up about what their kids are teaching.
	Their kids are coming home crying, upset because they're being told that they're a bad person depending on the color of their skin, and they're just fed up about it.
	And I think it may very well take down Terry McAuliffe, but I certainly think it is the beginning of the movement all across this country that's going to take down a lot of Democrats all over the nation.
	In the break, we were talking to my team here, and somebody said, well, it's neck and neck, and if Glenn loses by three points, that's a big, big deal in any other normal election.
	And here's the reaction I have, J.D. There is no such thing as a normal election after 2016. Do we have any faith that there will be a normal election?
	Talk to us about the recent breaking news about Facebook and the censorship of...
	You've written a piece about it.
	How do we get back to, quote-unquote, normal, J.D.? Oh, man.
	We've got a lot of work to do.
	Facebook did two things, basically, in the 2020 election, one of which we've known about for a while.
	They basically censored information that was negative about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
	They promoted information that was negative about Donald Trump.
	And I really believe...
	that swung the election in a really important way.

	Justice is something a country must at least attempt to get right.
	You're going to have things that fall through the cracks.
	The current regime is basically saying we don't even want to attempt to preserve the American ideal of justice.
	That justice is nothing more than us being in charge and you being under our power.
	Socrates said it is Is it not the purpose of a juryman's office to give justice his favor to whoever seems good to him, but to judge according to the law?

	And the ruling class in both parties, by the way, the Republican Party and the Democrat Party, they want this for votes.
	They want this for government dependency.

	He just can't do it because there's no explanation.
	All he wants is big government to stand between parents and their kids so that...

	This is Carol Platleybow for townhall.com.
	Thirty years have passed since Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
	His tenure there has been consequential indeed.
	He's the Court's foremost proponent of natural law, an understanding that our individual rights are transcendent and come from God.
	This understanding undergirds his approach to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, powerfully informing the justices' unyielding commitment to limited government and equal justice before the law.
	Over the last five years, Justice Thomas has authored more opinions than any of his colleagues on the Supreme Court.
	His influence only continues to grow.
	And he's beloved by the scores of people who know him.
	He knows the names of the children of the marshals who guard the courthouse.
	He's mentored generations of clerks, treating them like family, and his distinctive hearty laugh rings out within his judicial chambers.
	May God bless this great, good, and brilliant man, and may he serve on the court many years longer.
	We'll be right back.

	So the President of the United States is pushing for, and Democrats are pushing for, another massive tax hike on tobacco.
	I thought he said that if you earn under $400,000, you won't pay another penny in taxes.
	He said it this morning again.
	What does he think a tax on tobacco is?
	A tax on the rich?
	To the extent that the rich pay the tax, it's irrelevant to them because they can afford it.
	And it's mostly poorer people who smoke.
	So, that's just another example.
	No taxes on people earning under $400,000?
	People earning under $400,000 who need their car for work?
	They're not paying more on gas solely because of the Democratic Party and the President of the United States.
	Why was gas so much cheaper under President Trump?
	Because he cultivated natural gas and he cultivated fracking and he cultivated the energy industry of the United States.
	Without which there is no United States economy.
	We went from an exporter of energy to an importer of energy within months because the Democrats took over.
	But hey, no taxes on people earning under $400,000.
	It's a mirage that they're paying so much more for their cars' energy needs.
	It's going to be an interesting thing.
	GM, for example, is spending billions on electric cars.
	If there were no laws like those passed in California against gasoline-powered cars, would they be doing this?
	Is it actually a preferred way of driving?
	I'm asking this openly.
	I have no strong opinion in either direction.
	I have friends who own electric cars and they're crazy about them.
	And others find the constant charging of the car to be somewhat of a nuisance if they go on a trip finding places to do it.
	Anyway, it is what it is.
	Let people have a choice.
	Choice.
	Hmm.
	I played for you the Florida Surgeon General, Joseph Ladapo.
	He is one of the giants in American life, speaking with courage about the truth about transmission after, COVID transmission after getting vaccinated.
	I am in the incredibly lucky position.
	Of having natural immunity, the strongest immunity you can have.
	I don't need a booster shot.
	I don't need a vaccine.
	I took care of myself while interacting with strangers.
	So I became the target of massive attacks on the left.
	Washington Post had a whole article about me.
	So interesting, isn't it?
	My opposing, for me, a vaccine and wanting to be naturally immune thanks to hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, not naturally immune, I mean, I still got COVID, but getting COVID with minimal symptoms, even at my age, why would that bother them enough to write a whole feature article about me?
	I don't believe I am that important to the Washington Post, but I am pretty well known, and it drives them crazy that somebody who has a good reputation, which I have, earned over a half century of work, would actually advocate for ivermectin.
	And hydroxychloroquine and zinc, and of course, for the infusion of antibodies from the plasma of others who have had it, and all of which served to completely mitigate my symptoms.
	I had a cough for about 10 days.
	I had fatigue for about a week.
	I was on the radio three days after, testing positive.
	And today I feel terrific.
	I already flew to Florida to give a speech just a few days after, testing negative, which I did pretty rapidly.
	It bothers them.
	The question is, why does it bother them?
	What is the Washington Post's investment?
	And I don't mean financial.
	What is its investment in attacking ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and zinc?
	What is it?
	And by the way, I don't have a complete answer.
	I only know that whatever the answer is, it is not rational.
	Just as it is not rational to mask children, it's not actually rational to mask adults.
	Once again, I saw a video today, I think it's a doctor who did it.
	He inhaled some, what we would call smoke, was really vapor, I assume from some electronic cigarette as they're known.
	Put the mask on, and all of the vapor, all of the smoke, whichever it was, came through the mask.
	All of it.
	And if it didn't block that, how's it going to block something so much smaller?
	Which is the virus.
	So, what is the Washington Post's investment?
	And I think it's basically, this is what the herd thinks.
	So this is what we think.
	The herd-like response has been the most problematic.
	I think we should play Joseph Lodapo again, Sean.
	Oh yeah, we didn't play with Tucker, did we?
	So Joseph Lodapo, we played him.
	He's the Surgeon General under the great, great DeSantis, Governor DeSantis of Florida.
	I already sang God Bless Florida once on the show and added Texas at the very end.
	And there are other states as well.
	But he's a fighter.
	I love fighters.
	And he appointed Joseph Lodapo, professor from Stanford, medical doctor professor, This is his area of expertise.
	It comes as a surprise to most people, I suspect, that Joseph Lodapo is black.
	I think he came, his parents, I think, where did they come from, Nigeria?
	Somewhere in West Africa.
	But I guess he doesn't believe that America is racist.
	Because it isn't.
	Although the left is quite racist, the left's contempt for blacks is very deep.
	That's why they change standards for black people.
	They don't think they're capable as non-black people to do anything except play sports.
	That's the left's view of you if you're black.
	Why you vote for them is a great puzzle.
	Yeah, Nigeria, thank you.
	I was right about Nigeria.
	Well, I know him somewhat well.
	And this is what we are living with.
	America the racist.
	Hmm.
	But it isn't.
	Joseph Ladapo knows that.
	He has a great life in the United States.
	Somewhat of a greater life than he could have had in any black African country.
	Are you allowed to say that?
	And if you are allowed to say that, what does it say about the United States?
	If it's better for a black person to live in America than in a black country, how racist is this country?
	And millions of Africans...
	Of blacks living in black countries believe America is better for them.
	Are they wrong?

	You know, the way that this is dividing our world up, you know, being vaccinated or being unvaccinated, you know, it's just sad to see.

	So, Joseph Ladapo, I made a mistake.
	He was not from Stanford.
	He's from UCLA. Joseph Lodapo is the Surgeon General of Florida.
	So he, unlike the crackpot Barbara Ferrer in L.A. County, is making policy for the great Governor DeSantis.
	What a tremendous pick, Joseph Lodapo.
	I think it's Lodapo.
	It's an African name.
	He comes from Nigeria originally.
	Guys, an MD, and he has courage.
	I love courage.
	Courage is the only thing that gives the human race hope.
	So, I played for you, and I wish I could have played the screaming Ladappo.
	I wish I could have played the screaming reporters' questions.
	Look that up, Sean, if that exists.
	That press conference that...
	Lodapo gave, I assume in Tallahassee.
	So the press started yelling because the press is a herd.
	And look, you could see it by the fact that they're always sitting there with masks on.
	Doesn't exactly produce respect in me for the media.
	You realize just about everything has been wrong?
	And it will come out in time.
	I said that the lockdowns were the biggest mistake in human history.
	I made clear not the biggest evil, just the biggest mistake, which is bad enough.
	I said it in April of 2020. It's a year and a half ago.
	And I was right.
	I'm mocked for all the right things I say.
	The latest being that I preferred natural immunity.
	Using...
	Therapeutics to minimize the symptoms if I got COVID, which is exactly what happened.
	I had COVID two weeks ago.
	I have natural immunity, but I still could not go to...
	Right, Sean, isn't it true?
	You can't go to a Dodger game if you're not vaccinated or they stick you in a special section.
	They check your vaccination.
	So even if you've had it, which makes you safer, Then the people who only had a vaccine, they still do it.
	And Americans are putting up with it.
	This is the saddest part of all.
	So here is Joseph Ladapo.
	I played his press conference.
	I have to show that you're negative.
	So what do you have, two days?
	I assume it's a two-day test.
	It's not worth it.
	That's why I didn't root for the Dodgers, even though it's my hometown team.
	Because I don't want to support anything Los Angeles does.
	I live in a terrible place, so you'll say, why do I stay here?
	Because of all the wonderful people in my life who are here.
	They're more important to me than whether Eric Garcetti is a despicable ruler or Gavin Newsom is a thug.
	They're second in importance to my being with my friends.
	People that are in my life.
	I've cultivated a world here, and it would be very painful to leave them.
	That's why I'm here.
	But don't ask me to root for a California teen.
	That's one request too far.
	To think that the left has ruined the most vibrant state in America, the place people went for liberty, is now where people flee.
	Because of the lack of liberty?
	Isn't that something?
	So here is Lodapo, the Surgeon General of Florida on Tucker Carlson.
	I think.
	and I pray.
	Dr. Joseph Lodapo is the new Surgeon General of Florida and a genuinely interesting, free-thinking person.
	He went to Harvard Medical School.
	You'll hear...
	Oh yeah, hold on a minute.
	In light of the last hour, he was obviously at Harvard in medicine, which is the whole point of the woman who wrote the piece of pre-med being toxically racist at Harvard.
	I guess...
	Joseph Ladapo survived it.
	He has a very good point.
	Maybe he has immunity to white supremacy molecules.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	And white supremacist steric hindrance.
	I love that.
	That's my favorite now.
	Steric hindrance.
	Okay, take it away.
	He's obviously in full command of the details of his job.
	So, of course, he is hated and is being attacked from every side all of a sudden, and so we thought it would be really interesting to talk to him tonight, and now we are.
	Doctor, thanks so much for coming on.
	It's great to see you.
	So you are the Surgeon General of the State of Florida, which is a cool job, but it's not typically a job that gets you a lot of political flack.
	You're under attack.
	Why do you think that is?
	Thanks for having me on, Tucker.
	I'm not sure why I'm constantly under attack, it seems.
	I guess we could ask the people who are attacking me.
	But regardless of the attacks, what will remain unchanged is the fact that...
	We're going to be making data-based decisions about public health in Florida.
	We've had a tremendous amount of success already, thanks to the governor's leadership.
	And nothing anyone says is going to change the approach that we take to public health.
	All right, hold it there.

	It's the final days of our fundraising for ADF. I need you all to know that it's very rare that I do fundraising for organizations.
	It's because...
	I'm very, very choosy.
	I have to believe in it, and I do believe in this one.
	They provide free legal help for people whose freedoms have been suppressed in this country, which is happening, unfortunately, more and more often.
	So, a final thought here as a wrap-up for the month from you, Matt Sharp.
	I think you hit it, Dennis, with our...
	Freedoms are under more than ever.
	One example is what we're seeing with the Biden administration threatening this vaccine mandate on employers and non-profits.
	And look, we all may have different views about the vaccination itself, but when it comes to the federal government forcing this, forcing employers and small business to require this of their employees, That's something we can all agree the government shouldn't be doing.
	And those are the type of cases that ADF is here to take to defend our freedoms, to defend overreach by the federal government.
	So you provide free legal assistance to these people battling the state in this country with regard to religious freedom and other freedoms such as the mandate freedom.
	So obviously you have to raise a lot of money to pay these lawyers.
	Yeah.
	When we take a case, a demand letter or a case that may go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, free of charge.
	And the only way we can do that is by having the resources available.
	And so every contribution to ADF, whether it's $10, $100, $1,000, enables us to hire the best legal minds, the best attorneys.
	To take these cases and win them, and to win victories that do preserve the freedom of every single American.
	Your batting average is very high.
	Why don't you tell everybody how many cases you've won at the Supreme Court?
	So we've had basically a dozen wins at the Supreme Court in as many years, on issues ranging from free speech to religious liberty, on a variety of issues.
	And that's only a small fraction of the cases we do every year.
	Just to get resolved in lower courts or cases that get resolved with a demand letter or other things.
	But we really do have some of the best lawyers in the country taking these cases.
	And that's why we really do victory time and time again at the U.S. Supreme Courts and at other levels.
	So, folks, they are the living example or a living example of my motto.
	There are three types of good people.
	Those who fight, those who help the fighters, and those who do nothing.
	And as I always note, the ones who do nothing are the biggest group of good people.
	You shouldn't be in that group.
	And helping fighters is as important as fighting.
	Because when there is no supplies, that army can't fight.
	So I just want to remind you, there is a banner for ADF up at DennisPrager.com, Alliance Defending Freedom.
	I donate.
	Just about everybody I know does.
	So it's a battle every year, and let me just ask you then, I'm curious, if you doubled your number of contributions, would you be able to double your caseload?
	Yeah.
	We are getting hundreds of calls every week for legal help, from issues with people that have religious objections, We help as many as we can, but there's a lot that we just need more resources to be able to take their cases.
	And so doubling the giving, doubling the resources that we have is going to enable us to hire more attorneys, to hire more staff, to take more of these cases.
	And they're all important cases, but we can only do as many as we've got the resources to do.
	So that's why every little bit helps us to take one more case.
	Yeah, that's what I'd just like to emphasize to you, my listeners, that whatever they get enables them to take another case.
	So if they get less money, they take fewer cases.
	So that's how important our contributions are to Alliance Defending Freedom.
	One final question.
	You're not a right-wing ACLU. Is that a fair way to characterize you?
	No.
	In fact, we're stepping in where the ACLU won't.
	A lot of the people that we represent, people like Baronelle Stutzman, the florist from Washington State, the ACLU doesn't stand for people like her.
	We are standing for the freedom of all Americans, for people to live out their faith, for people to not be...
	Forced by the government to speak things or act in ways that violate their religious beliefs.
	And that's why we are standing for these freedoms for all Americans.
	You certainly do.
	Well, God bless you for your work, Matt Sharp.
	I can't overemphasize my support for ADF. By the way, there's a phone number, 855-649-2020.
	Or just go to DennisPrager.com and donate.
	Thank you, sir.
	You do great work.
	I want a reminder for you to do great work for your body if it's in pain.

	How bullied are you that Americans are finally waking up, JD?
	Look, I'm very excited about what I'm seeing here.
	Certainly in Virginia, but also in Ohio, it feels like there's a real grassroots movement brewing on the conservative movement right now.
	And it's, you know, just like in times past, it's not just the politicos, it's not just the establishment folks.
	Sometimes not even people who are that political, but they're just very fired up about what their kids are teaching.
	Their kids are coming home crying upset because they're being told that they're a bad person, depending on the color of their skin, and they're just fed up about it.
	And I think it may very well take down Terry McAuliffe, but I certainly think it is the beginning of the movement all across this country that's going to take down a lot of Democrats all over the nation.
	In the break, we were talking to my team here, and somebody said, well, it's neck and neck, and if Glenn loses by three points, that's a big, big deal in any other normal election.
	And here's the reaction I have, J.D. There is no such thing as a normal election after 2016. Do we have any faith that there will be a normal election?
	Talk to us about the recent breaking news about Facebook and the censorship of...
	You've written a piece about it.
	How do we get back to quote-unquote normal, J.D.? Oh, man.
	We've got a lot of work to do.
	You know, Facebook did two things, basically, in the 2020 election, one of which we've known about for a while.
	They basically censored information that was negative about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
	They promoted information that was negative about Donald Trump.
	And I really believe that swung the election in a really important way.

	Do you realize that Terry McAuliffe is still going around saying that Stacey Abrams had the election in Georgia stolen from her?
	I thought you weren't allowed to question the outcome of the election.
	And he's running down the democracy saying their elections are not fair.
	She would be the governor of Georgia today had the governor of Georgia not disenfranchised 1.4 million Georgia voters before the election.
	That's what happened to Stacey Abrams.
	They took the votes away.
	Uh-oh.
	Hey, YouTube, you better ban me, because I just played a clip of Democrat Terry McAuliffe claiming that Stacey Abrams had the election stolen from her.
	That's election misinformation!
	If Virginia elects Terry McAuliffe next week, you'll deserve every bit of the misery you're going to get.

	New Surgeon General of Florida, which is a credit not only to him, the UCLA medical doctor, professor, because he's a man of courage.
	Most doctors have no courage, and it's not an attack on doctors because there is no profession that I know of.
	Not clergymen.
	Not lawyers.
	I can't think of a profession that is characterized by courage.
	So, it's no attack on doctors as such.
	It's just a statement of fact.
	Most doctors are cowards, as is most human beings.
	If courage were not rare, goodness would prevail.
	It's really not complex at all.
	So, he has courage, plus medical knowledge.
	Went to Harvard Medical School, which has usually connoted a certain level of expertise in whatever medical area the individual specialized in.
	Anyway, Tucker Carlson had him on and we continue that interview.
	...which is to say that we're not going to be senseless, which is characterizing what this past year and a half have been.
	Senseless.
	And it's so reassuring to hear that, because you clearly mean it.
	It's not a talking point.
	Can you give us an example of a decision of, as you put it, a data-based, science-based decision the state of Florida has made recently that differs from, say, what other states are doing?
	Oh, sure.
	Thanks, Tucker.
	I mean, I think a really good example is this obsession with masking kids in school.
	And when you look at the evidence for mask mandates in schools, it's actually very weak.
	The highest quality evidence we have, in fact, for masks basically shows, and this is what the highest quality evidence shows, that there's...
	There's really no evidence of a health benefit as an improvement in a child's health outcome by implementing these mask mandates.
	And there's not even any solid evidence for cloth masks.
	So, you know, where benefit has been shown, it's primarily been with surgical masks.
	But, you know, Americans have unfortunately been just slammed constantly with this message that you must mask these children.
	But, you know, we haven't asked enough about the high-quality data, and it's just, it doesn't support it.
	And we don't do it in Florida.
	No, well, much to the gratitude of the people who live there.
	Doctor, I am grateful that you came on tonight.
	I hope that, I trust we will see you again.
	Thanks very much.
	Right, so there's no science to back masking children.
	That's exactly right.
	So it's such a good question, and I don't have a full answer.
	The Tucker Carlson question, why are you attacked so much?
	Why was I attacked so much?
	Why did so many Washington Post subscribers wish that I die?
	What did I do exactly?
	Did I engage in mass murder?
	Advocate mass murder, that I sell drugs that killed young people.
	What exactly warranted large numbers of people who subscribe to the Washington Post to wish that I die?
	And that is that I said it was better to take hydroxychloroquine and zinc and ivermectin.
	And the Regeneron infusion, and thereby, if I got COVID, have minimal symptoms and gain natural immunity, then take a vaccine.
	So you can differ with that, but why does that earn him or me such hatred?
	I don't know.
	I think a lot of people are bored and they get meaning from irrational causes.
	Rational causes don't give people generally as much meaning as irrational causes.
	I have a lot of thoughts on that, but I will leave that for a moment.
	And let's go to Belmont, California, and Marty, hello.
	Hey, my brother Dennis, I do not hate you.
	I love you, man.
	So, let me talk to you about Dodger Stadium and segregation of people that are vaxxed from non-vaxxed.
	Am I on?
	Yeah, you are.
	I'm listening.
	I'm sorry.
	I've been to several Dodger games this year, and I've never been asked whether I was vaxxed or not, neither is my brother.
	Don't think that's the case.
	Right.
	So, let me read to you.
	I saw your call, so I went to...
	Welcome to Dodger Stadium.
	Fan safety at Dodger Stadium.
	What you need.
	Proof of full vaccination or negative COVID-19 viral test.
	Vaccination cards, records...
	Whoever had to present either one, Dennis.
	I believe you.
	So, neither of us is wrong.
	That's true.
	Yeah, so fine.
	I'm very happy to hear.
	So let me ask you, you've gone to Dodger games and they have not asked you for any vaccination proof?
	Correct.
	Even, yeah.
	That's fascinating.
	Never even mentioned it.
	No, that is fascinating.
	I'm actually, of course, I'm happy to hear it.
	Sean, what is your take?
	You're a Dodger fan.
	Does it comport with what you know?
	So you've spoken to people who have gone to games.
	Say it on the air, because I want everybody to hear exactly what you said to me.
	So this is Sean, who has Dodger fan friends.
	Okay, take it away.
	And now a voice you rarely hear, that of Sean McConnell.
	And he's speaking, but we're still rarely hearing.
	We're not hearing a word you're saying.
	If I read lips, I would have translated.
	I would give it one more try here.
	Not working.
	All right, I'll tell you all while you're hearing from him.
	This is Carol Platt-Lebow for townhall.com.
	Thirty years have passed since Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
	His tenure there has been consequential indeed.
	He's the court's foremost proponent of natural law, an understanding that our individual rights are transcendent and come from God.
	This understanding undergirds his approach to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, powerfully informing the justices' unyielding commitment to limited government and equal justice before the law.
	Over the last five years, Justice Thomas has authored more opinions than any of his colleagues on the Supreme Court.
	His influence only continues to grow.
	And he's beloved by the scores of people who know him.
	He knows the names of the children of the marshals who guard the courthouse.
	He's mentored generations of clerks, treating them like family.
	And his distinctive hearty laugh rings out within his judicial chambers.
	May God bless this great, good, and brilliant man.
	And may he serve on the court many years longer.

	The union for the referees, however, has voted for in favor of a vaccine mandate, but the players have not.
	And Kyrie Irving is refusing to get vaccinated.
	New York City is one of, I think, two cities that is requiring proof of having been vaccinated in order to play.
	Here's what he said again.
	I know I can use my platform to spread positivity and spread light on the things that matter to me.
	You know, and I just care about our world a lot.
	And if I'm going to be demonized for that, at least let me go out on my own accord.
	You know, first things first, this isn't about me and it's not about me dispelling, you know, what's being said about me particularly or for anybody.
	It's just saying, you know, I'm standing with all those that, you know, believe in what's right and are doing what's right for themselves.
	Everybody has a personal choice with their lives.
	Everybody has a right to feel a certain type of way.
	Everybody's entitled to their own opinions.
	Everybody's entitled to do what they feel is best for themselves.
	And putting me as a hero or painting me as a villain, sort of say, or going against the vaccine mandates, that wasn't my intent at all.
	And to be sitting in this seat here and seeing...
	The way that this is dividing our world up, being vaccinated or being unvaccinated, it's just sad to see.
	It's creating a lot of division, a lot of confusion, a lot of people saying things that are untrue.
	We're not giving space for each other to speak.
	You got doctors out here working hard, physicians out here working hard, and everybody's trying to do what's best for them and their families, which I respect.

	Hello.
	E-N-O. Yep. - Live from the Relief Factor Pain Free Studio.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Here I am.
	So apparently you might have heard, Sean, I didn't.
	So I need to hear you.
	So quickly tell everybody your experience with getting into Dodger Stadium and the vaccine issue.
	So only for you and not the rest of the audience.
	I've spoken with people that say they have been asked for proof of negativity before walking into the stadium.
	Right.
	So the man who called in said he's never been asked for anything.
	And I'm not saying anybody's not telling the truth.
	Yeah, it's somewhat probably like the airline.
	There are flight attendants who think that they are concentration camp guards, and there are flight attendants who live on Earth and know that it's irrelevant if you wear a mask.
	Same thing probably with people letting people into Dodger Stadium.
	Some are strict and some don't give a hoot.
	So we have here a guy who's dating a cheat.
	That was a joke.
	That was a joke.
	So tell me about your girlfriend.
	Well, she's a bigger Dodger fan.
	Take your hand away.
	She's a bigger Dodger fan than me.
	A smarter woman than me.
	And she's figured out a way to get in there.
	It's called a printer.
	Oh!
	And a little forgery.
	Uh-huh.
	And all they do, you've got guys running around in green shirts.
	Wait a minute, so they don't scan the...
	No, no.
	Have you got your...
	Uh-huh.
	Right, so basically you could show them a picture of your grandmother.
	Yeah, I did.
	Uh-huh.
	No, no, no.
	Well, you have a very charming grandmother as it happens.
	No, you're very, very lucky.
	But no, they just kind of look and...
	Uh-huh.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Yes, I hear you.
	All right.
	Thank you so much.
	I won't say his name lest he get arrested in Los Angeles.
	Oh, here's the cops.
	I'm going.
	Bye.
	God.
	And people hate me.
	It doesn't bother me.
	It bothers me for the country, not for me.
	Because I have been calling this the bluff the whole time.
	But what is it?
	Who said it?
	Was it Orwell?
	Or was it even older than that?
	Liars hate truth-tellers.
	And Joseph Ladapo and I and others fall into the second category.
	By the way, I was corrected properly.
	There is a profession that is characterized by courage.
	I said none were.
	Not lawyers, not doctors, not anybody else.
	But there is.
	Police and firefighters.
	They are characterized.
	And one might say that there are those working in hospitals and they're being fired if they don't get a vaccination.
