Dennis Prager discusses how COVID lockdowns damaged middle-class restaurant owners and examines public-health guidance during the pandemic. Callers propose a conservative consumer awareness list while Prager shares his thoughts on boycotts and cultural resistance.
Overwhelmingly, these people are middle-class people who have put their life's work and life's money on the line in the belief that if I serve nicely enough, if I have nice enough servers, if I have good enough food, I can make a middle-class income. And now they've been shut down for no good reason. I was reading a piece last night of Fauci and others saying restaurants should not be attended to— attended, they— even if they have a HEPA filter. Listen to this. Even if they have a HEPA filter, even if you got the vaccination or had the flu or that they had COVID, they still don't want you in a restaurant. So the only answer is they want you in a restaurant at some time when the virus has simply worked its way through the population and ended on its own. That is the great plan of your local epidemiologist. Epidemia— epidemiologist. Yes, that's right. This is Oh, and of course, don't fly. Even Fauci said that. Don't fly even if you've gotten the vaccine. Don't fly. Well, all right, let's see here. Chicago. Okay, actually, John in Chicago, I've taken you a little too often. I love taking you because you differ with me, but I have rules about how often I could take a single caller. He must have a great machine that dials in. You remember those automatic dialers? It would just dial on your behalf constantly if you got a busy signal. He must have one of those because it's not that easy to get in that often. That's right. All right, Jim in Minneapolis, hello.
Dennis, love your show. Thank you for what you do for us.
You're welcome.
And it's— I know you're a fighter. I'd like to think I'm a fighter too. Why should we support the companies that want to destroy our conservative way of life, like the major media? I've got an idea. What do you think? The CAL, named in memory of the late, great state of California, the Conservative Awareness List. Not a boycott list. It's an awareness list. It's half the nation, us conservatives, aware of who supports our enemies. Imagine if their revenues crashed 50%. That's how we can fight Dennis Prager. That's how we can support the fighters. What do you think?
I'm trying to understand that this would be a list. Cal is short for California, so I got the pun, as it were. But it is a list of companies that what?
That support CNN, ABC, NBC.
Well, alright, so this is what they do with companies that support Fox.
Correct, Dennis. Let's fight back. What else can we do?
What else can we do? Yes, well, I agree. We have to fight back. I've always been opposed to boycotts. I said with pride for years I would eat, or on occasion do eat, Ben Jerry's ice cream even though Ben Jerry's are leftists. Particularly foolish people, but they made a great ice cream. And in America, you eat the product, not the producer. But things have changed, and they've started, as it were.
