In this YouTube segment, Dennis Prager reacts to a phone call about a 29‑year‑old man who faces an ultimatum: receive a COVID‑19 vaccine or lose his job. Prager expresses deep sympathy for the young man’s family and condemns the situation as a terrible, unfair choice. He expands the discussion to a broader political critique, questioning whether any tyrannical regime has ever voluntarily given up power and asserting that the modern American left, tracing its lineage back to Lenin, has never relinquished the authority it has accumulated. The segment ends with Prager noting the timing of the story within his "happiness hour" program.

29-year-old having to take it or lose his job. It's a terrible, unfair choice. Maybe he can get a leave of absence and find other work in the meantime, and then be rehired when people have stopped losing their minds, if that should ever happen. I don't know. I don't know any group that— of tyrants that has ever gotten power and then relinquished it. Does one person listening know of such an example? Has the left ever relinquished power that they accumulated voluntarily? Ever since Vladimir Lenin? To the Democratic Party of the United States today. This phone call breaks my heart for this family and for this country. Well, gotta say, definitely a good time to have a happiness hour, and it follows. I'm Dennis Prager.
