=== Why Awesome Means More (14:39) ===

[00:00:01]  Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music
[00:00:22]  Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Hi, everybody.
[00:00:49]  I'm Dennis Prager.
[00:00:50]  Welcome to the show named after me.
[00:00:55]  I don't use the word hero often.
[00:00:59]  I think, like everything else, like the word awesome.
[00:01:05]  Awesome used to mean, wow, I am filled with awe.
[00:01:15]  Ran the mile, let's say this would be...
[00:01:18]  When did Roger Bannister run the mile in four minutes?
[00:01:22]  In the 50s?
[00:01:24]  Yeah?
[00:01:26]  So, that was awesome.
[00:01:28]  First guys, first Westerners to climb Everest, that's awesome.
[00:01:34]  Beethoven's third is awesome.
[00:01:39]  The pie you had is not awesome.
[00:01:48]  Anyway, it doesn't matter.
[00:01:50]  It is what it is.
[00:01:51]  But hero shouldn't be overused, and it is.
[00:01:56]  And we have a hero, Joe Manchin, a senator from West Virginia.
[00:02:06]  The amount of vitriol and hate that this man receives, I would say that right now it is only second.
[00:02:17]  To what Donald Trump received when he was president.
[00:02:20]  Is that fair to say?
[00:02:21]  Who's the most hated person in America on the part of the left?
[00:02:27]  And the Democrats, which is the party of the left?
[00:02:30]  Joe Manchin.
[00:02:33]  And, you know, his family as well is targeted.
[00:02:38]  Needless to say, that is now conventional to go to the homes of...
[00:02:45]  Politicians and other public figures with whom you differ.
[00:02:50]  It's another institution innovated by the left.
[00:02:54]  By the way, if anybody on the right ever does it, I condemn it too.
[00:02:57]  There have to be rules in life of civility.
[00:03:01]  Rules of civility.
[00:03:05]  That would be awesome if people lived by rules of civility.
[00:03:10]  So that man is a hero.
[00:03:13]  What this bill was, this bill, what was the amount, how many hundreds of billions of dollars to green energy?
[00:03:23]  300 billion dollars, I believe it is?
[00:03:28]  It might be low?
[00:03:31]  See, this is the beauty of having a trillion dollar anything.
[00:03:38]  A hundred billion doesn't sound like much.
[00:03:41]  A hundred billion sounded like much two years ago.
[00:03:46]  Today it sounds like nothing.
[00:03:49]  A hundred billion dollars?
[00:03:52]  A hundred billion is a thousand million.
[00:03:57]  Is that correct?
[00:03:58]  Yes, that is correct.
[00:04:03]  This bill would have so Corrupted this country with crony capitalism?
[00:04:10]  Where do you think the 300 billion and so many other hundreds of billions would go to companies?
[00:04:16]  Companies favored by the government.
[00:04:20]  That's where it would go.
[00:04:23]  One of the many lies that we're swimming in, in the ocean of lies of the left, is that big business is in cahoots with the Republicans.
[00:04:32]  Right?
[00:04:32]  They always say that, right?
[00:04:33]  The party of big business.
[00:04:35]  There's no truth to that.
[00:04:37]  The party of big business is the Democrats.
[00:04:39]  The party of the rich is the Democrats.
[00:04:43]  I'm going to ask the living murderer a question.
[00:04:45]  I don't know if you know the answer.
[00:04:48]  Is there any, let's say, of the ten wealthiest zip codes in America, how many vote Republican?
[00:04:58]  An interesting question.
[00:05:00]  That could probably be checked.
[00:05:01]  Wealthiest zip code voting.
[00:05:04]  Take a look, because I'm very curious.
[00:05:06]  So let me say, since neither of us knows, I would say seven of them are Democrat.
[00:05:13]  I was going to say nine.
[00:05:14]  You were going to say nine?
[00:05:15]  Yeah, because it's Washington, Silicon Valley.
[00:05:17]  Right, yeah, no.
[00:05:18]  Yeah, of course.
[00:05:19]  The coasts.
[00:05:20]  They're all on the coasts.
[00:05:22]  Maybe there's one.
[00:05:23]  Is there one very wealthy suburb of Chicago?
[00:05:26]  Yeah, but it's not.
[00:05:27]  Is that where you grew up?
[00:05:29]  No.
[00:05:29]  I know.
[00:05:30]  That was a total joke.
[00:05:32]  I made the living martyr laugh.
[00:05:34]  For that, I can now retire.
[00:05:36]  Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a great ride.
[00:05:39]  And I achieved my goal.
[00:05:44]  The party of the rich.
[00:05:48]  Oh, my God.
[00:05:51]  This man is remarkable for his courage.
[00:05:55]  He might have saved this country.
[00:05:57]  I'm not kidding.
[00:05:59]  That's certainly language I don't recall ever using.
[00:06:02]  One man saving the country?
[00:06:06]  This was destruction.
[00:06:09]  The staggering amount of money that was earmarked to be given to Americans to hook them just like drug dealers.
[00:06:19]  There is no difference in terms of addiction between addiction to free things from the state and addiction to drugs.
[00:06:32]  And I've contended for many years it is easier to get off addiction to heroin or addiction to alcohol or addiction to gambling than it is addiction to free things.
[00:06:51]  People who get free things not only get addicted to it, they think that they deserve it.
[00:06:58]  The alcoholic doesn't think, oh, I deserve alcohol.
[00:07:02]  I need alcohol.
[00:07:03]  I want alcohol.
[00:07:05]  But it is not a moral benefit to society that I receive it.
[00:07:11]  But the person who gets free money from the state thinks it's a moral duty of the fellow citizens to give him money for free, for doing nothing but breathing.
[00:07:27]  The aim of the founders of this country, which is the antithesis of the left, was to keep government small.
[00:07:36]  There's the bumper sticker, the bigger the government, the smaller the citizen, a line I made up many years ago.
[00:07:42]  Big government.
[00:07:48]  Thanks. - Thanks.
[00:07:50]  You know when I became a Republican?
[00:07:54]  When Ronald Reagan...
[00:07:55]  Ran for president.
[00:07:58]  One line did it.
[00:08:01]  Government is the problem, not the solution.
[00:08:05]  Or government is not the solution, it's the problem.
[00:08:08]  I don't remember which order he said.
[00:08:10]  But I understood what he said in a sense better than he did.
[00:08:15]  He was referring to the government and its expansive powers in America, and anywhere for that matter.
[00:08:24]  But I knew something else because of my preoccupation with 20th century genocide.
[00:08:31]  All the genocides, with exception of the Hutus and the Tutsis, Hutus of the Tutsis, was done by big government.
[00:08:45]  Why is big government synonymous with goodness?
[00:08:49]  Why isn't it more synonymous with evil?
[00:08:54]  Because you read the New York Times and went to an American school.
[00:09:01]  That's why.
[00:09:05]  Joe Manchin should become a Republican.
[00:09:09]  He should simply announce the Democratic Party that I joined X number of years ago is not the Democratic Party of today.
[00:09:17]  It is a race-baiting, racist, hate-filled, disuniting...
[00:09:24]  Corrupt party.
[00:09:26]  Oh, God.
[00:09:28]  That would be awesome.
[00:09:31]  That would qualify for the heroic and the awesome.
[00:09:35]  And then he would go to the side that loves him.
[00:09:39]  Democrats can't keep knocking a Republican.
[00:09:42]  They hate a Democrat who thinks individually.
[00:09:46]  But it's not that he thinks individually.
[00:09:49]  I don't have respect for Liz Cheney.
[00:09:51]  She thinks individually on the Republican side.
[00:09:56]  The issue is not, are you independent?
[00:09:59]  The issue is, are you right?
[00:10:01]  That's all that matters.
[00:10:04]  He should become a Republican.
[00:10:07]  Whether he runs for re-election in West Virginia or not, he should become a Republican.
[00:10:13]  Where did I just read some mayor of a city?
[00:10:17]  Did you see it?
[00:10:19]  A mayor of North, the word North was in it, of a major city, just changed from Democrat to Republican.
[00:10:30]  He would be following an honorable pedigree.

[00:11:02]  The Democratic Party somehow has convinced black people that they're the good guys.
[00:11:05]  Never mind the skanky history of the Democratic Party.
[00:11:08]  That was a party of slavery.
[00:11:09]  He said, listen, I gotta give these niggas enough.
[00:11:14]  Not too much, but enough that I'll have them voting Democrat for the next 200 years.
[00:11:19]  The race grievance industry would have you believe that blacks get up and think about nothing else except race.
[00:11:26]  If I tell you this is racist, yeah.
[00:11:28]  That'll get you emotional.
[00:11:29]  There is a whole big cottage industry for racism.
[00:11:32]  If racism went away, a lot of people would be unemployed.
[00:11:37]  The mob during the Minneapolis riots following the death of George Floyd.
[00:11:42]  A bunch of white thugs, frankly, burning down the city's traditional black and Asian business district.
[00:11:47]  They're racist.
[00:11:48]  Racist.
[00:11:51]  Everything's racist.
[00:11:52]  It's the devil!

[00:12:32]  When there is a clash on the left between separate.
[00:12:43]  preferred activist groups, who gets preference?
[00:12:49]  Who wins?
[00:12:53]  On the left, they have a hierarchy.
[00:12:56]  Not any different than a hierarchy that you have in any sort of organization.
[00:13:02]  You see, when the left has a moment of disagreement or conflict, it is very important to realize that there is a structure of what matters more than something else.
[00:13:19]  I wrote a piece for humanevents.com where I wrote, it was literally called, This Matters More Than That.
[00:13:26]  Now a great example of this is when Fauci, the lockdown artist, the anti-freedom activist, mad scientist, who is the best example of the technological and scientific elite.
[00:13:46]  That the left worships.
[00:13:48]  When he was even confronted by a talk show host, where they asked Fauci, they said, so do you think that young people should be, should stop hooking up via Tinder and basically having very promiscuous relationships?
[00:14:09]  And Fauci said, well, you have to understand there's some risk to that.
[00:14:12]  He didn't denounce it because he understood.
[00:14:15]  That if he dared came out against promiscuous behavior for young people, there'd be a revolution.

=== Diego State Debate (09:20) ===

[00:14:27]  Trending now on the Eric Metaxas show.
[00:14:35]  Right.
[00:14:39]  So this has changed in the culture.
[00:14:41]  We now have entire stadiums screaming blank Joe Biden.
[00:14:47]  Right.
[00:14:48]  I actually think...
[00:14:50]  *music*
[00:15:18]  *music* *music* *music*
[00:15:42]  You have to believe that songs like this were written in a more innocent time, Frosty the Snowman.
[00:15:48]  There's no doubt about it.
[00:15:52]  Wait till I read to you what Oregon and Illinois are doing with kids.
[00:15:56]  In the meantime, let me remind you about Sierra Pacific Mortgage and Andrew and Todd, two honorable, incredibly competent men who will take care of your mortgage needs.

[00:16:36]  These are the guys.
[00:16:38]  AndrewandTodd.com at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
[00:16:41]  888-888-1172.
[00:16:47]  AndrewandTodd.com.
[00:16:48]  I personally endorse them.
[00:16:50]  Well, guess what?
[00:16:51]  I underestimated the wealthy districts of this country and their political affiliation.
[00:16:59]  I said seven out of the ten wealthiest zip codes were Democratic.
[00:17:05]  That means three would be Republican congressional districts.
[00:17:10]  Oh, not zip codes.
[00:17:12]  Congressional districts.
[00:17:13]  That's right.
[00:17:13]  How would you know otherwise?
[00:17:15]  Well, I guess you can figure it out.
[00:17:16]  But anyway, so guess what the real number is?
[00:17:20]  Out of ten wealthiest congressional districts, well done, Will.
[00:17:29]  My Peruvian friend.
[00:17:32]  I love that you're half Peruvian.
[00:17:35]  I want you to know that.
[00:17:37]  Oh, I can't say that on the air.
[00:17:40]  Can I? No.
[00:17:43]  Okay.
[00:17:47]  It was a funny comment about his family.
[00:17:53]  Let's put it that way.
[00:17:54]  In any event, the answer is 10. The 10 wealthiest congressional districts vote Democrat.
[00:18:04]  The party of the rich, it is part of the tsunami of lies that the left tell, or the left tells.
[00:18:15]  Guess what?
[00:18:17]  What do you think the number is of the top 50 wealthiest congressional districts?
[00:18:25]  41 are Democratic.
[00:18:28]  What does the party of the rich mean?
[00:18:35]  um Among the richest Americans are Jeff Bezos, correct?
[00:18:40]  He's on the left.
[00:18:41]  Guy bought the Washington Post in order to keep it a left-wing propaganda machine.
[00:18:49]  Who else?
[00:18:50]  Of course, Bill Gates.
[00:18:53]  Okay, obviously, one of the great funders of leftism.
[00:18:57]  Who else?
[00:18:59]  Got a name there on the top?
[00:19:02]  Anyway, there are examples.
[00:19:04]  It's very hard to find one of the wealthiest people in America as funding Republican causes.
[00:19:15]  41 of the top 50 wealthiest districts are Democratic.
[00:19:23]  So there is a...
[00:19:26]  Here's an example of the lies that permeate our universities because of the left.
[00:19:32]  San Diego State University.
[00:19:35]  A dean at San Diego State University has called out the rights agenda, quote-unquote, on Twitter, accusing conservatives of supporting racism and standing against equality.
[00:19:52]  The dean?
[00:19:54]  Wow.
[00:19:56]  Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, Professor Monica Koop Casper.
[00:20:01]  I was shocked to read that it was a female.
[00:20:04]  Tweeted on December 1st, Just so we're clear on the rights agenda.
[00:20:11]  Racism good, abortion bad.
[00:20:14]  Money good, women bad.
[00:20:18]  Capitalism good, sustainability bad.
[00:20:22]  Stupidity good.
[00:20:24]  Science, bad.
[00:20:26]  Power, good.
[00:20:27]  Equality, bad.
[00:20:29]  White people, good.
[00:20:31]  Non-white people, bad.
[00:20:33]  Stench, indeed.
[00:20:39]  This is the dean, or a dean, of San Diego State University.
[00:20:45]  So here's an offer I want you to know.
[00:20:48]  Monica Casper.
[00:20:52]  How about a debate?
[00:20:54]  On those charges.
[00:20:57]  I'll come to San Diego State and I will raise thousands of dollars for you or any charity you want.
[00:21:04]  If your charity is Black Lives Matter, we'll give to it.
[00:21:09]  You can choose the moderator.
[00:21:12]  You can choose the time.
[00:21:13]  You can choose the venue.
[00:21:16]  You can choose the audience.
[00:21:22]  Folks, It will never be taken up.
[00:21:26]  They never debate on the left.
[00:21:28]  They smear.
[00:21:31]  Any communist leaders ever debate?
[00:21:34]  They don't debate, they suppress.
[00:21:38]  This is an amazing thing, isn't it?
[00:21:41]  Power good.
[00:21:44]  For a left-winger to accuse conservatives of wanting power.
[00:21:50]  We want to reduce government, thereby reduce our power.
[00:21:54]  It's just a total lie.
[00:21:56]  The woman lives in a make-believe world.
[00:22:02]  Some of you have kids at San Diego State.
[00:22:05]  Write a letter.
[00:22:07]  Favorite left-wing charity, Dennis Prager will raise thousands of dollars.
[00:22:13]  Name the sum, and I will come to San Diego State to debate this woman.
[00:22:20]  Just her one statement.
[00:22:22]  That the rights agenda is racism good, abortion bad, money good, women bad, women bad.
[00:22:29]  Women bad.
[00:22:31]  Well, she's a bad woman, but it doesn't mean women are bad.
[00:22:37]  Capitalism good.
[00:22:38]  That's right.
[00:22:40]  That's true.
[00:22:41]  Capitalism, if you care about the poor, you love capitalism.
[00:22:45]  It is the only thing that has lifted billions of people out of poverty.
[00:22:50]  Sustainability bad.
[00:22:51]  What is sustainability?
[00:22:52]  Oh, sustainability is green energy.
[00:22:56]  Are you for nuclear power?
[00:22:58]  Monica Casper?
[00:23:01]  You want sustainability?
[00:23:03]  You want to power society without fossil fuel?
[00:23:08]  There's a very safe, clean answer.
[00:23:12]  Nuclear power.
[00:23:15]  Stupidity good, science bad.
[00:23:18]  I'd like to know how exactly that came in.
[00:23:23]  Science bad.
[00:23:24]  That's the myth.
[00:23:27]  We bring to you 17,000 scientists who were opposed to lockdowns and were called anti-science.

=== Southwest Pilots Crisis (03:14) ===

[00:23:35]  How many scientists did they get to say that it was okay to demonstrate against racism without a mask?
[00:23:43]  Remember that?
[00:23:44]  Because fighting racism is a health.
[00:23:47]  It's a healthy thing to do.
[00:23:51]  All right, my friends, we shall return in a moment.
[00:23:54]  I have a remarkable guest from Holland.
[00:23:57]  The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.
[00:24:24]  Trending now on the Larry Uller Show.
[00:24:27]  Southwest was devastated this week.
[00:24:31]  Straight up lying, talking about it was the weather.
[00:24:34]  The reason why 2,000 flights were canceled over the weekend, Friday through Sunday, and then over 300 or nearly 400 more on Monday.
[00:24:42]  But the truth of the matter is, a lot of these people just caught out sick.
[00:24:47]  They just caught out sick.
[00:24:48]  They've been threatened by their employer because their employer happens to be a federal contractor.
[00:24:56]  And because of that...
[00:24:58]  Because the federal government has their hands in Southwest Airlines, they have to comply.
[00:25:03]  Now, here's the news.
[00:25:05]  Nothing has happened as of yet.
[00:25:07]  So technically, Southwest Airlines does not have to comply right now.
[00:25:12]  They can wait for OSHA to make whatever edict they're going to lay out that has not been done thus far.
[00:25:19]  But nonetheless, they suspect that it is coming down the pike.
[00:25:23]  You get all these pilots, 10,000 pilots, 60 to 70% of these pilots are men and women that fought for our freedom, and we're going to kick them off the freaking job.
[00:25:36]  Can you imagine the disruption?
[00:25:38]  You talk about, we look at the ports in California.
[00:25:41]  Can you imagine the supply chain disruption?
[00:25:44]  If now we can't even unload cargo ships, and we're going to have fewer and fewer pilots?
