Rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop.
Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to stop.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree.
I'm going to get host Carl Jackson sitting in for Dennis Prager.
It's such an honor to be back.
Always an honor to sit in for Dennis.
I want to thank Sean McConnell.
That's in my ear.
Lou has got my back.
Listen, all the people that help with Alan Estrin, obviously, Dennis Prager's producer, I just want to thank him for giving me the opportunity to come back.
I'm not sure who's on the phones, but all right, Suzette, thank you so much for being in.
Guys, I got a lot to talk to you about today.
I think the last time that I was in for Dennis Prager, I... I posed either a statement or a question that I thought, or at least at one point in time when I was in for Dennis Prager, that I thought the Democrat Party was an existential threat to America.
And I still believe that today.
I believe that the Democrat Party and the left are synonymous.
I believe they're one in the same.
Unfortunately, the left has gone so far left, and I don't see anyone in the Democrat Party that has moved to stop them, but that I do believe they are synonymous.
I do believe they're one and the same.
I don't think there's a major difference between a liberal or a leftist at this point.
I mean, perhaps how they behave in the home, perhaps some of their values in the home, but publicly and as far as public discourse is concerned, as far as politics are concerned, I simply don't see that much difference.
Guys, I want to talk to you.
One of my big things is I can't stand when people bash the founding fathers.
I can't stand giving.
I mean, despite the fact, listen, every man has his flaws.
Every founding father, just like you and I, have our flaws, no doubt about it.
But I still believe that they have created the best country that God has ever given man.
And one of the things that I'd like to do in this show, in this hour, and perhaps even going into the next hour, I'm going to talk to you about...
How the Republican Party, to some extent, has become...
And guys, you've got to understand where I'm coming from.
I hate to say this because I don't want to be hyperbolic.
I do not want to be hyperbolic.
But I think the Republican Party has become so weak that they too have become an existential threat to America.
Now, the good news is...
Because people like us exist, because Dennis Prager listeners exist, we can call our congressmen, we can call our senators, we can get involved in politics, and we can fight like heck and hopefully persuade Republicans to do the job that they were elected to do.
But I think it's an uphill battle, and I don't want to lie to you about this.
I read through columns and I spend so much time analyzing the left and getting frustrated about what the left is doing.
But I must admit, at times, I don't think I spend enough time saying, wait a minute, wait a minute.
There is a party that exists that can stop them.
And oftentimes we fall flat.
Maybe today will be a little bit of tough love.
I'm not exactly sure.
I've got to be honest with you.
Not as if I'm not honest with you.
But I was going through...
An array of material that I intended to talk about today, and then all of a sudden I just wasn't feeling it.
Sometimes this happens in radio because so many issues have popped up since.
And then I just started coming back to, you know, Carl, what are the bigger issues?
Let me leave this quote with you.
You guys are familiar with it.
Patrick Henry, give me liberty or give me death.
I want that to linger in your mind.
Give me liberty or give me death.
Another quote, all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to stand by and do nothing.
So I want you to just, I want those to stand still, if you will, in your mind as we go through today's show.
Now, another thing that I'm big on, Sean McConnell knows this, I hate fake racism, I hate fake oppression that the media likes to...
Pretend exists when it doesn't.
I believe that racism in America is dead, except within the Democrat Party.
I do believe that racism, for the most part...
Now, I'm not naive.
I'm not stupid.
I understand that racism does exist and that there are some racist people.
But racism, systemic racism, doesn't exist in America, except within the Democrat Party.
Oh, you don't believe me?
Guys...
The fake oppression that has happened with Gavin Newsom declaring that he's going to give people literally $223,200 for reparations is insane.
I want to preface today's show with this before we get into what's happening in China.
Because what's happening in China...
Guys, I'm here to tell you it exists in America.
It exists in America.
And the only people that can stop it besides us are the Republicans that we elect.
But hopefully I can tie this together where it makes sense for you.
Gavin Newsom's reparations, hat tip to the Daily Mail.
You can still get good news, relevant news, factual news.
In the UK about the United States.
It's getting a little harder to get it inside of the United States unless you go to conservative outlets.
But Gavin Newsom's reparations committee will recommend handing out $223,000 per person to all descendants of slaves in California for, quote, Housing discrimination at a cost of $559 billion.
This is the nation's biggest restitution effort ever.
Guys, I can't stand this, and I want to get into why as we talk about fake oppression, and then we're going to take a trip to China to talk about real oppression, and then we'll come back to America to talk about the oppression that's beginning to happen here in the surveillance state that is becoming more and more and more evident.
When we see what Elon Musk is doing, what Elon Musk has unveiled, we see what Apple's Tim Cook is doing.
Don't believe for an instant.
All right?
That Tim Cook would not side with lefties to censor Twitter.
I don't believe it for an instant.
Republicans are going to have to fight.
They're going to have to do something.
So a task force was set up in California to make proposals for slavery reparations.
Guys, let me ask you.
Do you know any slaves?
Do you know any slaves?
I mean, unless you go to the Middle East, unless you go to China, Maybe humans that are being trafficked right here in the United States, sadly, sex trafficked.
Do you know any slaves?
Maybe there's some that exist at our southern border.
We'll get into that as well.
Do you know any slaves?
See, what I can't stand about fake oppression, specifically that the left...
Imposes upon us this idea that America is systemically racist.
What I cannot stand about it is that it causes some people, it causes some Americans, I won't say who, black people, to never live up to their potential.
And it's really offensive to me.
It's upsetting to me.
