The Dennis Prager Show LIVE
In this two‑hour live broadcast, host Dennis Prager leads a rotating panel of conservative commentators, journalists, and guests—including Dr. Beau Brees, Larry Elder, Newt Gingrich, Hugh Hewitt, Mike Gallagher, and others—to discuss a wide range of political and cultural issues. The conversation begins with Dr. Brees describing his frontline experience treating COVID‑19 patients in Houston, emphasizing that most cases are mild, most patients are discharged the same day, and that oxygen supplementation is the most effective treatment while hydroxychloroquine remains inconclusive. Prager and Brees argue for a targeted isolation of vulnerable groups and a rapid reopening of the economy, warning that lockdowns cause secondary health crises and higher suicide rates. The show then shifts to a series of culture‑war segments: criticism of “cancel culture,” debates over statues of founding fathers and Confederate leaders, accusations that the left’s policies (e.g., welfare reform, defunding police, school curricula) are destroying American society, and a heated discussion of race, with Prager and guests using loaded language to describe Black conservatives and liberal activists. The panel also reviews recent economic data (record job gains, declining unemployment) and frames it as evidence that reopening is working. Throughout, Prager promotes his own products (Relief Factor, PureTalk) and upcoming tours, while repeatedly urging listeners to reject liberal ideology, support Trump, and “wake up” to what he describes as left‑wing tyranny.

Democratic, is that I honor their name, but Democratically run is foolish. Anyway, those that are run by Democrats, those states like mine, California, were not allowed to gather. A lot of people violated it. I wish the whole state violated it. It is evil what is being done to the world. I will read to you what is being done to the world. The so-called compassionate left doesn't give a hoot about the world. It's, it's, it's all, it's all fake. We live in a world of fake fakery. President gave a magnificent speech at Mount Rushmore. We'll have the tales about that. It is now— things change so rapidly, it is okay now to smear the names of Lincoln and Washington. Now the Lincoln one is very interesting. Lincoln liberated the slaves. Right? Right. Everybody knows that. So what do people on the left say to that? So listen to this. University of Wisconsin students want Lincoln statue removed. Sure, he was anti-slavery, but he wasn't pro-Black. I have an answer to this. And the answer, if you've heard me for years, you probably can intuit, but you might not. A student group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is calling for the school— I spoke there, University of Wisconsin-Madison— to remove its popular Abraham Lincoln statue, saying the president who was known as the Great Emancipator is a symbol of racism. The statue has sat atop the university's Bascom Hill for more than a century and is a popular backdrop for graduate photos. But students in the university's Black Student Union say that its continued presence on campus ignores the 16th president's stated opinions against racial equality. He was also very publicly anti-Black. Nala McWhorter, the president of UW-Madison's Black Student Union, said, just because he was anti-slavery doesn't mean he was pro-Black. I have a response to that, but one more thing to read. Shockingly, the chancellor defended the statue. Like those of all presidents, Lincoln's legacy is complex and contains actions which 150 years later appear flawed, Chancellor Becky Blank said in a response to the calls for the statue's removal. However, when the totality of his tenure is considered, Lincoln is widely acknowledged as one of our greatest presidents having issued the Emancipation Proclamation, persuaded Congress to adopt the 13th Amendment ending slavery, and preserved the Union during the Civil War. All right, now get this. That response did not sit well with McWhorter, who argued that the school is siding with a, quote, breathless, lifeless statue over their Black students. For them to want to protect a breathless, lifeless statue more than they care about the experience of their Black students that have been crying out for help for the past 50, 60 years, it's just a horrible feeling as a student, as a Black and brown student on campus. By the way, were browns enslaved 150 years ago? Okay, so I want to answer something here. There is a very important moral answer to the argument, just because he was anti-slavery doesn't mean he was pro-Black because of various statements that were racist that he made. So imagine that you are in a terrible position, you're drowning, and someone who doesn't like you saves your life. Will you emphasize that he saved my life or said things that were hurtful? I will give you a real-life example. I just read a book on the Holocaust. The book is titled "Why?" And in it the author makes the point that there were a fair number of anti-Semites who risked their lives to save Jews during World War II. I had known this, but it is always good to have another scholar confirm something that might be counterintuitive. I do not find it counterintuitive at all. Now, do you think the Jews whose lives were saved by a person who had anti-Semitic views would concentrate on the views or on the fact that the person saved their life. What would you concentrate on? This gives you an idea of the sickness that pervades the left, whether it's the black left or the white left. Yes, he emancipated slaves, but he didn't think well of blacks.
So what?
This notion that you must think well of my group, I've said this over and over, I don't care if you like Jews, I care how you treat Jews. Like, like or dislike whomever you want, or not even like or dislike, feel whatever you like. That's true in all of life. It's how you act, how you treat a human being. Now we— but the left is totalitarian. That's why this is like the Cultural Revolution. You have to think right. And you had to think right 150 years ago. That you did right doesn't matter. That's what these black students are saying, and the white left echoes it. All he did is emancipate— all he did is end slavery. But he had said comments about Blacks before. I don't remember what they were, but they were definitely negative. This is what we call the cancel culture, which I happen to differ with. It's leftist culture. Nobody uses the term left. It's like politically correct. I've said this for years. Politically correct means leftistly correct, leftist correct. Nobody points out where the cancel culture and political correctness come from. The left. You can't fight the disease if you can't name it. Leftism is a moral disease, not liberalism. Liberalism is unfortunately synonymous with cowardice, but it is not is evil. Like, it doesn't even have almost any of the values of the left, but they vote left anyway. But this is the answer to it. It is what people do. That he had views on race that were, you know, normative in, in the 19th century, it's unfortunate. But, but compared to what he did, would a— how would a Black— Blacks wept when he was shot. Why would they do that? It's like, why would Blacks move here from Africa, the systemically racist country? It's a gigantic, what does he call it, pyramid of lies, or is that your term? Your term? May I use it? I don't wanna do appropriation here. By the way, it's another idiocy that we are governed by, cultural appropriation. I happen to think it's a beautiful thing, cultural appropriation. 1-8-PRAGER-776.

Most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent free thinkers.
I believe the legacy and the ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day. I will not pretend to be a victim in this country. I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable.
Racist. Racist.
Racist.
Racism.
A thousand cuts of racism. The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously.
To believe these things.
It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of Black Americans.
We're brainwashed to think, well, is it because I'm Black?
America's not ours, or we got shipped here. No, our blood is on this soil. We own this too. There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great Black men and women. Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
So long as Black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense. We won't have an awakening.

Me, when Bill Clinton, after twice vetoing almost identically worded bills, finally signed the Welfare Reform Act. One of the reasons he got elected is because he was going to be a different Democrat. We're going to change welfare as we know it. He said it during the 1992 campaign and didn't do anything. And then Dick Morris said, when he's running for reelection, look, if you want to win this election, you have to do something, fulfill this campaign promise. So Bill Clinton signed the Welfare Reform Act of 1996— 1996, 1994, 1996, I think it was. And a bunch of liberals, his own party, they were furious, furious. One of the children's advocates is a woman named Marian Wright Edelman. She stopped speaking to Hillary. They were good friends. Members of the Congressional Caucus said that when this bill goes through, there are going to be people sleeping on the, on the, on the grates outside because they're going to be so poor. What happened? Welfare rolls declined almost 50%, far steeper than the most optimistic projections were. Without a corresponding increase in abortion. It turned out a whole bunch of able-bodied people and able-minded people, when they found out they weren't going to get additional money, and when for the first time there were going to be caps on how long you could stay on welfare, they got off the couch and went and got jobs. Now, the very same people were predicting death and destruction. What did they say? Nothing. Not a word. Did any of them admit we were wrong? That we were apparently creating perverse incentives by setting up the welfare state the way we were. Did anybody suggest that they were wrong? No. You see, the left never says we're sorry, never says we're wrong.

Good to be with you. You notice the, uh, Joe Biden endorsed BLM? Yes, I am going to talk about that. There's a phenomenal amount to talk about. I have to get back to COVID for a moment. The destruction of businesses by Democratic governors. And I, by the way, Fox News is as hysterical about COVID as CNN or MSNBC. Every guest I heard said the same stupid thing. Spike in cases, spike in cases, spike in cases. That's all you hear. On rare, rare— I listen constantly, and on rare moments you might have an interviewer just mention, what about deaths? And it went in pain. Well, yeah, that's true, then they're not spiking, or we don't know about deaths. Isn't the deaths what matter?
The—
I give up. If Fox can't say what the hell is going on in California and in America to stymie the world's economy, then who will? I mean, listen, there are great things on Fox. This is not an across-the-board condemnation of Fox, but on COVID, everybody's been worthless. Neil Cavuto said hydroxychloroquine will kill you. Why is he still employed? He caused death. Neil Cavuto caused people to die. I mean it literally. I never exaggerate. If anyone listened to him and believed him and didn't take hydroxychloroquine and died, he is the reason they died. Will he apologize? If he apologizes, he could stay employed. I have no interest in firing anybody. It's a scandal. It's a moral scandal. What is happening in the world, developing world. Here's just one example. Losing billions in money from migrant workers. Tens of millions of Indians, Filipinos, Mexicans, and others from developing countries working overseas sent a record $554 billion back to their home countries last year. That's an amount greater than all foreign direct investment in low and middle income countries and more than 3 times the development aid from foreign governments. There are households that critically depend on the remittance lifeline, and that lifeline has been ruptured, said Dilip Ratha, lead economist on remittances at the World Bank. Estimates transfers to developing countries will decline by 20%. If only 20%. That drop would be 4 times as big as the fall that followed 2008 financial crisis, the largest drop since the World Bank began recording remittance data in the 1980s. In El Salvador, remittance has plunged 40%. That's more like it. Contributing to a food crisis, slum dwellers have hoisted white flags outside their homes to signal they're hungry as local charities struggle to fill the gaps. While well-eating, fully employed Gavin Newsom shuts down the economy. And who works in restaurants? Guess who? All— a lot of these people sending money back to their poor relatives in El Salvador. He doesn't give a damn. Oh, we're spiking, we're spiking. No deaths on my call, on my watch. When I read to you, do you know what the chances are if you're under, is it 35 or 45? The chances, huh? 45, the chances are basically zero. All right, it's close to zero, your chance of dying. What was done to hydroxychloroquine? What is Victor Zelensky's rate if he gets it to you in the first 5 days of your illness? 99% survival rate, correct? Was that the percentage? I'll have them on again. Or 97%, I think it's 99%. In Bangladesh, remittances for April dropped 24% from a year earlier, adding pressure to an economy that saw clothing exports Another key source of foreign exchange plummet 85%. Oh, but they're spiking. It's spiking. We can basically cure COVID, okay? In most people, the vast majority, overwhelming majority, with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin in the first 5 days, you're overwhelmingly likely to save a person. They don't have to go on the damn ventilator. And it is a damn ventilator. It was basically a death wish. It's very angering. I hope you get angry. I mean, if, you know, it's appropriate to get anger, to get angry. I'm not angry at Lincoln. I'm angry at Newsom because I'm not a leftist and my moral compass is not broken. They pay no price though. There is no amount of the crushing of the economy, of the putting of restaurants and other businesses out of business, that would have people in California vote Republican. Literally, literally, it doesn't matter. The state can literally go bankrupt, which by the way might not be a bad idea. Then it couldn't fund the Hate America campaign. That will be beginning in your, your kids' public school in California. Hate America campaign. That's right. 1-800-PRAGER-776. Jim in Sarasota, Florida. Hi.
Hey Dennis, wanted to share that the Sarasota Patriots celebrate your Fourth of July Declaration every year. I think this is our 7th year now. And this year we were presented with the BLM movement and they had what was a counter demonstration and old bag of horns and just an intimidating factor altogether.
You mean when you were engaged in this celebration? Celebration of July 4th. Let me tell everybody, by the way, I mean, obviously it's late for this year, PragerU came out with a beautiful celebration based on the Passover Seder for American Independence Day. I'm sorry to hear that, and I'm not surprised.

GIs were coming back from Vietnam and being shouted at, called baby killers, being spat at the airport. Um, I need you to understand that my nation will forever be grateful to those young Americans because you stopped communism in South Asia. My nation would have been the next one to fall, and the Vietnam War is a glorious memory for us. That's a wake-up call, isn't it? Jim, to look at the Vietnam War as glorious?
Well, yeah, from their perspective. And I think, look, no one is— there's two historians once, uh, had this debate between, um, uh, um, people that just lump history and then people that explore. And the whole thing was, is there's two ways you can write history. You can lump everything that proves your case and ignore everything else, or you can find the one thing that proves your case ignore everything else. And those are called lumpers and splitters. But that's not history. History is about the totality. What the Antifa, what Black Lives Matter, what the hate, what the mob is, is they are lumpers and splitters. They find the stuff they hate and they say, that is American history, as taught by Howard Zinn, right? And what they deny is that there was ever a good day or ever a glorious purpose to this country. And I'm not saying America's perfect, God created this nation, and as a result of that, as with all of God's good creations, it has made better days for the universe of man.
That's the truth.
They don't like that, fine. They want to tear the statue down, fine. Doesn't make it any less true.

Joe Biden came out of the basement yesterday, sort of. This is not really a press conference. Cut number 6, where he admits he's got a list of people he's going to call. And cut number 6.
I'm happy to take questions if you have them. He gave me a list. How to recognize— is Alex AP out there?
And then he slams Trump for his cognitive capabilities, believe it or not. Cut number 8.
One of two things. This president is, um, talks about cognitive capability. He doesn't seem to be cognitively aware of what's going on. He either reads and or gets briefed on important issues and he forgets it, or he doesn't think it's necessary that he need to know it. But the fact is that at a minimum, at a minimum, the discrepancy allegedly between— within the intelligence community has reported some thought it was more certain and others thought it was less certain. That should be resolved. The president should have on day one said, I want you to come before me in the Situation Room. I might lay out the differences.
The prospect of this guy as president. I know you have an aesthetic, some of you have an aesthetic objection to Donald Trump, that he's mean, that he picks fights, he personalizes everything. But honest to goodness, slow Joe Biden, you really, you're gonna trust this country in the middle of an existential battle with the Chinese Communist Party that's gonna extend for 100 years, and we're gonna start it with Joe Biden? No, you're gonna reelect Donald Trump. Stay tuned.

All right, doctor in Cincinnati, I'll get to you. Don't, don't hang up. Says I'm telling lies about hydroxychloroquine. I got to take that call. Medical profession has not distinguished itself, but I'm not surprised. Doctors are as impressive and unimpressive as any other group of human beings. As I have said all of my life, and it shouldn't be surprising, doctors have saved my life. God bless them. But that has nothing to do with the reliability of doctors on any moral matter or any social matter or any other group. The scientists told us, right, that it was, uh, you can't get together to protest the lockdown. But if you get together to protest racism, that's actually a health benefit. Thousands of scientists signed on to that idiocy. Yep, indeed. You have that? Did you, did you, did you bring that up? I'm gonna, uh, tell you a little more here and then we'll get to, uh, the doctor calling in. Calvin Coolidge, 1926, the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, said this. Listen to this. Under a system of popular government, there will always be those who will seek for political preferment by clamoring for reform. While there is very little of this which is not sincere, there is a large portion that is not well informed. In my opinion, very little of just criticism can attach to the theories and principles of our institutions. There is— listen to this line, there are great lines coming up— there is far more danger of harm than there is hope of good in any radical changes. Is that great? Our forefathers came to certain conclusions and decided upon certain courses of action which have been a great blessing to the world. Before we can understand their conclusions, we must go back and review the course which they followed. We must think the thoughts which they thought. Their intellectual life centered around the meetinghouse. They were intent upon religious worship. While there were always among them men of deep learning, and later those who had comparatively large possessions, the mind of the people was not so much engrossed in how much they knew or how much they had as in how they were going to live. You hear this? People were not preoccupied with PhDs, —and accumulated knowledge and accumulated money. They wanted, they were preoccupied with, "How will I live a good life?" While scantily provided with other literature, there was a wide acquaintance with the Scriptures. Over a period as great as that which measures the existence of our independence, they were subject to this discipline not only in their religious life and educational training, but also in their political thought. They were a people who came under the influence of a great spiritual development and acquired a great moral power. No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of the people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things, These did not create our declaration. Our declaration created them. I was— that's really eloquent. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear— this is 1926, my friend— will turn to a barren scepter in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished that they may glow with a more compelling flame. The altar fires before which they worship. Calvin Coolidge, I increasingly believe, is a great, uh, was a great president. God, the way they spoke in those days, it's hard to believe this is 100 years ago. So much more eloquent than our time. RadioZone is a remarkable product.

There is talk, Hugh, and I have it in my story today about a possible vacancy this summer. We've heard a lot about whether Justice Thomas will retire or not, but the name I keep hearing in my source world is Judge Amul Thapar. The federal judge in Kentucky, the former US Attorney in Kentucky, that he's seen as a favorite of Leader McConnell, and that if there is a narrow window, someone like him, if Thomas retires, who's young, 51 years old, who's seen as confirmable, could be moved this summer. And you think this is already a political and culture war in this country, just wait for a possible—
Oh, Robert, you should have called me. I don't report buzz much, but since you brought it up, the stronger rumor is that Justice Alito is going to quit. Justice Thomas will never quit. And that Justice Alito opens up the opportunity to put on Ray Kethledge again, or David Strauss, or Don Willett, that if indeed Justice Thomas were to retire, would be on the multiparty. That one's a done deal if it's Justice Thomas.
Alito, huh? That's a great tip.
That is what my— you know what happens at this time of the year is that people begin working the refs, and I'm hardly a ref, but I got a column in the Washington Post, and so they start working me about You know, this person would be great if Alito quit, and this person would be great if Thomas quit. And they— everybody agrees with what you just said. If Thomas were to quit, he were to say, look, I'm 72, I've done my share. But Robert, did you run into anyone who told you what he said? He swore the oath that he wasn't going to leave his job until the last person who voted against his nomination had left the Senate. He's still there.
How old is Justice Alito?
I think he's 74. He might be 72. I'm not sure, but he hates— the buzz is his wife hates Washington, D.C.

Speaker Gingrich, welcome to the show.
Well, I'm glad to be with you, and there's a lot of things going on.
Um, what is your sense of what is happening right now and what this president will need to do to be reelected?
This is the most consequential election since Abraham Lincoln in 1860. I think the difference between Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer as a team and Trump and McCarthy and McConnell is so wide that people can't imagine how different we'd be 2 years after you had Biden as president with Pelosi and Schumer basically dominating him, but that they would take us to somewhere between California and Seattle. So I think it's, you know, and I think what's happening is Trump challenged the entire national establishment, starting with his nomination, when they first hated him. The first article about impeaching him is April of 2016, before he's even the nominee, followed up then by a whole series of other kinds of problems.

Hey, how are you? Listen, Dennis, I love everything you stand for and I love everything you say, but when it comes to hydroxychloroquine, the data at this point seems to indicate that it is ineffective and may be dangerous. And that's the stuff that's been published, and you're extremely critical of everything that's published, but your friend Zelenko won't publish anything. Nobody can see his data. We have no idea if he's telling the truth. Forget Zelenko.
Are you not aware that Lancet withdrew its study?
Yes, Lancet withdrew its study because some of the data was bad, but Zelenko won't publish it.
Oh, wait, wait, forget Zelenko.
We don't know if it's true or not. I'm not depending on Zelenko.
Zelenko said in April on your show—
I know that.
—that he was going to publish it. Fine. And it's been 3 months and he hasn't published it. You're quoting him.
I did not mention his name. I didn't mention his name today. I have in the past.
You said his mortality rate was 3%.
Oh yeah, you're right, you're right. I'm sorry, I apologize. You're right, I did say it.
Okay, fine. So stop quoting him.
No, no, no, I will quote him.
Wait, wait, wait. So you think he's lying when he tells you what his rate of success has been?
I have no idea. He won't tell us. He won't publish it. Until he publishes it, it's meaningless.
So okay, here is something published. All right, so here's something published. I'm not familiar.
Journal of Infectious Disease, I read it.
No, are you familiar with Henry Ford Health System?
Yes, I read the paper on Sunday and the patients who got hydroxychloroquine also got steroids. So I don't know if it was the hydroxychloroquine or the steroids. It may work, Dennis. It may have some benefit. I have no idea.
Let me ask you a question because I believe you'll tell me—
The evidence is that it's bad.
Well, the evidence is not that—
Have you heard of Salih Rahaf?
Have I heard of her? Have you heard of Galia Rahav? No. Galia Rahav, she's the chief infectious disease officer in Israel, and she's taken hydroxychloroquine off the market in Israel.
Yeah, a lot of people have, so in my opinion, she's a fool and killing people.
Do you think she hates Trump? You think that's her motivation? No. You think the Israelis hate Trump and that's why they take it off the market?
No, she might. Half the Israelis, not half, the Israelis on the left hate Trump too.
And Stephen Hahn, the commissioner of the FDA, hates Trump even though he's—
No, no, no, wait, let me explain something. It's all a big conspiracy.
No, it's not a big conspiracy.
Of it is a conspiracy and some of it isn't. Some of it is sheer ignorance. It is— I'll bet you, how about this? Would you bet me $1,000 that it will come out that it works? And we give it to the other's favorite medical— No, no, no, no, no. That it works?
Huh? Who's going to be the adjudicator? You?
You're going to decide? No, no, no, no. I trust you. If you think that the evidence will show otherwise, neither of us will pay. I will bet you $1,000 that it will come out that it worked and that people— I don't understand why, I really don't understand what animates you because you're a good guy. The evidence. No, the evidence is overwhelming in the other direction. What about the French study? Are you familiar with that one? And the studies that you're citing were all flawed. Every single one. I have no idea. I don't know.
Well, that's right. You have no idea. No, no, no, no.
Wait, wait. I, that I don't know how they came to— But you didn't read it.
No, I read— You didn't read the study, but you're citing it.
Yes, that's correct. I read the, I read the summary of the study in the, in the French journal.
Because your study from the Henry Ford Hospital— Why don't you read a study before you say— Okay, fine. So until I had read the study, right?
So let me, let me get up the study actually. Where is the French study? Are you familiar with the French study? And you know that?
There have been 6 studies from 6 different countries saying it doesn't work and it's dangerous.
No, no, I don't know why you're caught—
you know that I did read, I read a lot about the Brazil study. The Brazil study, they gave far too much and far too late. Are you aware of that? And they didn't even give them zinc.
In the entire history of modern medicine, no infectious disease has ever been treated with zinc. The idea that zinc is the answer is the most preposterous medical theory of all time. Tell me one disease.
I, I, I don't know the answer. I only know— I only know—
you don't know the answer? You don't know anything? No, I don't know.
It's not true. I don't know anything. I believe in this instance, ironically, I think I know more than you do.
You know, a disease that you treat with zinc besides diaper rash?
I, I, I don't—
okay, in the history of the world, right?
So, so wait, so where, where is it?
This is the first— wait, so where it works that we treat with zinc?
Okay, maybe so. Where, where Oh, when you cite—
somebody to call me and tell— get someone to call you and tell you a disease that's treated with zinc. Okay. Yes. One disease other than diaper rash we treat with parenteral zinc. Right.
I understand.
Because you've hung your hat on something that is so medically preposterous that I can't even comment.
Okay. So you, so you'll take my bet? You're on. All right. It's a fact. I don't know exactly Let me read to you folks. See, you don't have to be a doctor to— if I read the summary of a study, uh, or I learn about the study— the studies that debunked it in, in Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine were both withdrawn. The Wall Street Journal had a huge editorial on this. And yes, the Lancet case was no question it was motivated. They had a big editorial against Donald Trump in Lancet. Lancet has no credibility among vast numbers of people anymore. It's, it's animated by anti-Israel and anti-American animosity, not by science. This is from Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, June 25th, from, from France. Outcomes of 3,737 COVID-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and other regimens in Marseille France, a retrospective analysis. Although this is a retrospective analysis, results suggest that early diagnosis, early isolation, and early treatment of COVID-19 patients with at least 3 days of HCQ-AZ lead to significantly better clinical outcomes.

Racist. Racial. Racist. Racism.
A thousand cuts of racism. The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to Black people.
The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of Black Americans.
We're brainwashed to think, "Well, is it because I'm Black?" America's not ours, or we got shipped here. No, our blood is on this soil. We own this too. There should be a pride that we have and the fact that this country was built by many great Black men and women. Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
So long as Black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.

Me.
It's when Bill Clinton, after twice vetoing almost identically worded bills, finally signed the Welfare Reform Act. One of the reasons he got elected is because he was going to be a different Democrat. We're going to change welfare as we know it, he said during the 1992 campaign. It didn't do anything. And then Dick Morris said, when he's running for reelection, look, if you want to win this election, you have to do something, fulfill this campaign promise. So Bill Clinton signed the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. 1996, 1994, 1996, I think it was. And a bunch of liberals, his own party, they were furious, furious. One of the children's advocates is a woman named Marian Wright Edelman. She stopped speaking to Hillary. They were good friends. Members of the Congressional Caucus said that when this bill goes through, there are going to be people sleeping on the, on the, on the grates outside because they're going to be so poor.
What happened?
Welfare rolls declined almost 50%, far steeper than the most optimistic projections were, without a corresponding increase in abortion. It turned out a whole bunch of able—
Okay, everybody. I remember doctors' anger at the, uh, a doctor who'd made a video. Not the one you're thinking of, folks, the emergency room physicians that YouTube took down. Doctor made a video about how dangerous ventilators were, that they may be doing more harm than good. Turned out to be right, but doctors were furious with him. Where are his data? Well, here's, uh, so here's a question. Obviously we didn't get very far in our conversation. I don't know of any study that has not been withdrawn, and that is recent, that shows that hydroxychloroquine hurts. And the Lancet study was withdrawn. Lancet is the most distinguished journal of medicine, or science I should say, in Britain. When scientists from the Wall Street Journal, when scientists around the world reviewed the Lancet study, they spotted glaring data errors. 120 scientists criticized the study's sloppiness and aggregation of patients who were different in many respects, including HCL doses, dosages, and severity of illness. Anyway, they withdrew that, that study. If I— so I, I, I truly, I do risk a fair amount of my, uh, reputation. I admit it. That's correct. And so does that doctor. And so does, uh, so does the National— what is it? Uh, Institute of Health in the U.S. This is a big issue. I'm not letting it rest. One of us has really misled you. It's correct. So we'll find out, won't we? You know, I love clarity over agreement. So here's clarity for you. I think people who are telling you not to take it if you have COVID in the early stages are contributing to you to illness and perhaps death. You believe that my advocacy of it might be contributing to death because of some arrhythmia that might take place as a result. Okay, can't be clearer than that, can you? It's a phenomenon, in my opinion, the antipathy of various doctors, like the guy who called in when Dr. Zelenko was on, called him a quack. So the guy's treated over 1,000 people with COVID he's a quack. Wonder if that doctor— I remember it vividly from, I think, what was it, Orlando? Oh no, no, Tampa. I think it was from Tampa. Yes, I don't believe that, uh, these things are secrets that whose truths are unavailable to intelligent laypeople. We will be back.
This is Owen Strand for Townhall.com. It was heartwarming to see many of the planet's toughest and best athletes telling their children on social media how much they love them. In short videos, fathers played games with their kids, bear hugged them, and told them jokes, all in a tribute to dads on Father's Day. In a society that does little to encourage fathers, the NBA's efforts did not go unnoticed. Families are the essential building block of society, and fathers are the essential building block of the family. A home led by a father, especially a father with a spiritual focus and strong character, places flourishing within reach. Gender-neutral children do not need gender-neutral parents. Boys and girls need fathers and mothers bound by lifelong commitment. This isn't a prejudicial belief. Downplaying fatherhood sets us all up for disaster. Social media support is great, But we need more. We need a society that celebrates, honors, and ennobles fathers. I'm Owen Strand.

It's not just about money, money, money. It's about jobs, jobs, jobs as well. And we're going to discuss the latest news with our new regular guest, Trish Reagan. Let's play the video from just a few hours ago from the President of the United States. Eric, play video.
In June, we added 2.1 million leisure and hospitality jobs, 740,000 retail jobs, 568,000 education and healthcare jobs, 356,000 700,000 service jobs. These are all historic numbers and 356,000 manufacturing jobs. And manufacturing looks like it's ready to really take off at a level that it's never been before. And a lot of that has to do with our trade policy because we're bringing manufacturing back to our country.
Trish, did anybody expect the results we got today? Talk to us about what we have heard just a few moments ago from the president. Listen, I was glad to see him out there. He needed to do that victory lap because people need a little good news right now, right, Seb? Yes. I mean, almost 5 million jobs that were added. This is really incredible. And you know what it tells you? The recovery is underway. We are going to emerge from this intact. It's almost like, you know, you think about the Europeans. They go away for the summer. They shut down for 3 months. And miraculously, their economy just, boom, picks up right where it started. I mean, we're not right where we started, but we're getting there. And I could not be happier to see this news. Again, I was surprised that it was as big as it was. We got the ADP report just yesterday, which indicated it was going to be good, but this good?

I am really, really, really, really happy with your response to my movie. Have you seen it yet? I would say something like, if you see it and don't like it, I'll give you your money back, but, uh, I can't do that legally. But I will tell you, you're not going to— you're not going to regret it. $19.99. You're not going to regret it. Listen to this one. This is one I got from a Democrat. Headline: A Great Wake-Up Call for Democrats Like Myself. And here's what this person wrote. Don't know whether it's male or female. As a lifelong Democrat, this movie called attention to the failing of my party. Wow. I heard it said before that Black Americans are disillusioned and fed up with being taken granted by the Democrats, only paid attention to during election cycle. So I felt it was my responsibility to really take these voices seriously, and I felt it was my responsibility to see your film. This hits to the core of it. I cannot accept ignorance any longer and feel any Democrat who is unwilling to see this film is intentionally failing to practice what they preach, which is that all Black lives matter. A bitter pill to swallow, but absolutely necessary. Become a well-rounded, informed citizen and watch this film. End of quote. I am not making this up. You believe— you don't believe me? Go to IMDb yourself and look at the user reviews, and you'll see the one I just now read.

There is talk here, and I have it in my story today, about a possible vacancy this summer. We've heard a lot about whether Justice Thomas will retire or not, but the name I keep hearing in my source world is Judge Amul Thapar, the federal judge in Kentucky, the former U.S. attorney in Kentucky, that he's seen as a favorite of Leader McConnell, and that if there is a narrow window, someone like him, if Thomas retires, who's young, 51 years old, who's seen as confirmable, could be moved this summer. And you think this is already a political and culture war in this country? Just wait for a possible—
Oh, Robert, you should have called me. I don't report buzz much, but since you brought it up, the stronger rumor is that Justice Alito is going to quit. Justice Thomas will never quit. And that Justice Alito opens up the opportunity to put on red Hello, my friends.
Dennis Prager here.
To the extent possible, I hope you had a good Independence Day weekend. Apropos of the doctor who's angry at me for advocating hydroxychloroquine, I do I do, uh, practice what I preach. I actually take it, and that's how convinced I am of its safety. Every doctor I know personally endorses it. So if you know anybody who has COVID in the first 5 days, hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin. I believe would be very, very helpful. Not easy to get because of the anger at the drug and at those who advocate it. I wonder, I do wonder what people who opposed it will say when the studies confirm its efficacy. I know what they'll say. They have a way out. Well, now that the studies affirm its efficacy, we're for it, right? But your opposition led to people dying. How do you deal with that? That I don't know what their answer will be. I was on Judge Jeanine, terrific woman. On Saturday night on Fox News, I'd like you to hear it, and then I'm going to read to you some of the reactions to me on Yahoo News. Take it away.
Our beloved country more divided than united. Here to talk about the road ahead and much more, the host of The Dennis Prager Show and founder of Prager University. Dennis Prager, thanks so much for being here, Dennis, and happy Fourth of July, which I fear means something different to us than it does to a lot of other people. But I want to talk about racism, and I want to talk about the theme and the undercurrent of all the protests and the burning and the looting and the toppling of statues, and that is that America is starting to recognize how racist she really is.
Your thoughts? I wrote a piece a number of years ago that the greatest libel since the blood libel against the Jews in the Middle Ages, where Jews were accused of using Christian kids' blood to bake matzah for Passover— oh, that was the great blood libel. The second biggest libel that I am aware of on a national level is that the United States is a racist country. That is how profound a lie it is. And the reason it's so serious is now seen in the streets. It is seen in the lives of vast numbers of white and black and other kids in this country who believe this grand lie. There are so many obvious ways to prove how little racist this country is. Let me give you just a quick review. First of all, there are so many hoaxes. There are so many race hoaxes of a swastika on a a dorm room, of a noose in somebody's room, of a gang rape against a Black woman. All of them turn out to be hoaxes. So I have a question. Why are there— or Jussie Smollett, obviously the latest one with NASCAR. Why are there so many hoaxes if there's so much real racism? I'll bet you there wasn't one anti-Semitic hoax in Germany in the 1930s. You think any made up an anti-Semitic incident? Of course not, because there was so much real anti-Semitism. You make up stuff when the real stuff doesn't exist. How about this? 2 million Black Africans— Black Africans, I'm not even talking about North Africans who were Arab— Black sub-Saharan Africans have moved to the United States in the last 50 years, been incredibly successful, one of the most successful immigrant groups. Why would Black Africans move to a country that is racist? Are they stupid? Are they suicidal? They know better than the entire faculty at Yale how little racist America is and what a land of opportunity it is. I could go on and on, but just give you an idea, this is truly a non-racist country. There are racists in it, but that's a difference. I'm a Jew. There are anti-Semites in America. Africa, but America has been the best country Jews have ever lived in outside of Israel in their history.
You know, it's fascinating to hear you talk because what is happening in this country, you know, when you talk about all of those successful Blacks who come from South Africa, which is wonderful to hear, you realize that so many people in this country are detached from anything anything having to do with racism. I'm of Lebanese descent, Lebanese Christian. I mean, we didn't have any slaves. You know, I have friends who were different ethnicities who came from Europe. I mean, and all of a sudden all of America is supposed to be racist. All the cops are supposed to be racist. And if you're a black cop, all of a sudden you're a racist because now you're wearing a blue uniform. How does this all end, Dennis?
The—
it can only end in one way, really. Either, either America survives the left or America defeats the left. And I'm not talking liberals. Liberals are mostly weak and naive, but they're not leftists. The day— by the way, this is one of the ways to solve our problem. Liberals need to recognize, as Alan Dershowitz and Dave Computer is freezing.
Why don't we get a new computer? All right, well, too bad. We gave it a try. I'm sorry, is it almost over anyway? Okay. Okay, so you've heard, maybe we'll get a chance to play the rest of it later. And I'm going to read to you, so you heard what I said, right? You, my listeners, listen to, so I saw it on Yahoo News, Dennis Prager, America's—
The day, by the way, this is one of the ways to solve our problem. Liberals need to recognize, as Alan Dershowitz and Dave Rubin and other liberals have, their enemy is the left, not the right. When— because we are— we conservatives are protecting liberal values, whereas the left is destroying liberal values, like free speech, for example. The day the liberal wakes up from his stupor that his enemy is the conservative and not the left, that will be the solution. But to answer your question, once again, this is an existential battle. Either America survives and the left is defeated, or the left survives and America is defeated. It is as simple as that. We are in a civil war. I pray it is not violent, although if it is, they have begun the violence. But if you deny we're in a civil war, you are having your head in the proverbial sand.
Okay, so listen to what not one respondent in the Yahoo News comments on the video, not one mentioned what I said. Here are typical ones. Laura: Ever wondered how many racists there are in America with Trump's current election strategy of race-baiting? Which I am completely unaware of, by the way. How is the president engaged in race-baiting? They make these things up and then they repeat them, and then therefore it's true if you repeat it. There'll be no one left to vote for him except racists, so every vote he gets tells us how many hateful people we have in America. By the way, so she denies that all whites are racist— only whites who vote for Trump, right? Isn't the whole claim that every white is racist? Next, Vouch. V-A-U-S-C-H. Dennis Prager also says slavery was a good thing. Now, when this guy wrote this, on what grounds did he, did he write that? Does anyone know that I have ever said slavery was a good thing or anything even remotely similar to that? They lie. I'm— that's what I'm telling you. They Leftists lie because it's okay to lie, so there's no guilt. They just make up whatever can destroy those they differ with. Anonymous. Dennis Prager, LOL. Here's another one. America. That's the guy's name, or a woman's name. AMRKKKA. I think I have an idea where this person's coming from. Dennis, stop it. James, what America does he live in? Question mark, exclamation point, question mark, question mark. Here's a good one. Anthony, I suggest a viewing of any of Prager's fireside chats with the bulldog in frame. It's quite absurdist. You can tell that dog does not like him. Because when he pets the dog, it lifts its head, looks at him, and then turns away. This is the level of discourse on the left. Okay, everybody, 1-800-PRAGER-776 is the number to reach me. I want to remind you about the Larry Elder's film, Uncle Tom. God, is it needed at this time. Go to UncleTom.com.

It turned out a whole bunch of able-bodied people and able-minded people, when they found out they weren't going to get additional money, and when for the first time they were going to be capped on how long you could stay on welfare, they got off the couch and went and got jobs. Now, the very same people who were predicting death and destruction, what did they say? Nothing. Not a word. Did any of them admit we were wrong? That we were apparently creating perverse incentives by setting up the welfare state the way we were? Did anybody suggest that they were wrong? No. You see, the left never says we're sorry, never says we're wrong.

A few more of the comments, and then I want to take your calls. Comments on my appearance on Judge Jeanine, which I played for you earlier on Fox News. Comment by— on this, on Yahoo— Brandon Chaney is the name given here. Yeah, I'm not sure if I can I'm not sure if I can't take the opinion of a 60-plus-year-old white dude on the existence of racism seriously. See, that, that, by the way, is constant. Let's see, Nana 10. Why is this drunk still on the air? You know, I haven't, uh, you know that I have not drunk enough alcohol in 50 years to, uh, make anybody drunk. I don't drink, basically. But it's like the other one. What was the other one? Oh, Prager said slavery is good. You just, I'm a drunk, I'm pro-slavery. Spoken like a true old white dude. See? Says the rich old white guy. And so on. Is America a racist nation? We asked a rich old white guy. Do you understand what colleges have done? They have taught you not to deal with arguments. They have taught you to deal with the arguer. The deterioration of the ability to think clearly, thanks to college and the left, could be fatal to the country. So a white cannot comment on the issue. Can a black comment on black antisemitism, which the ADL, which is on the left, said that the highest number proportionately of antisemites in the country among blacks? Can a black comment on that saying, you know, actually we're not that antisemitic? Yes, does the same rule apply? Uh, let's see. Casey in Newport Beach, California.
Hello. Hello, Dennis. I'm a big fan. I have to tell you that, um, I was diagnosed with COVID on June 17th. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance here at Hoag Hospital, a renowned, world-renowned hospital. They did a 2-hour test, came back COVID-19. You could tell they were rather shocked because as soon as the COVID-19 came back positive, they would just open the door and yell in. They wouldn't touch me. They literally became absolutely terrified. And then when I asked them about hydroxychloroquine, they said, oh, that, that kills people. And so I was literally sending out videos of me not being able to breathe and begging friends because I had heard from Donald J. Trump, who I'm a huge fan of, that hydroxychloroquine would help. So I sent out a very labored breathing— I still have bacterial pneumonia, by the way— a very labored breathing pleading for any friend that I had who might be able to get hydroxychloroquine for me. And I got a text from a friend who said, Casey, I saw Laura Ingram. I've been watching this. I've been following it. And I got you some hydroxychloroquine, a Z-Pak, vitamin D, and I'm going to bring it to you. Where can I find you? I was so weak and so devastated. I live about a half mile from Hoag Hospital. I walked. I just demanded to be discharged. And I walked home while wetting myself, defecating myself, vomiting with a fever. And I stumbled a half a mile to retrieve some hydroxychloroquine from a, from a hiding place that my friend had dropped it off at 3 o'clock in the morning. I took this, the Z-Pak, the hydroxychloroquine, the vitamin D, the vitamin C. I went to bed hoping and praying that I would survive, and 9 hours later I woke up with no fever. No coughing. All the symptoms virtually gone in 9 hours. The only thing that I would say is that I only had a 5-day supply, and then my friend, who I won't mention because someone will try to attack him or sue him, he told me about corsination.com, and I set up a telemed appointment with them, and there were doctors in Florida that I spoke to, but it took like 5 days or longer for me to get the hydroxychloroquine from them. So I was doing better over the 5 days that I was taking it twice a day, but then I went 3 days without it waiting for the prescription to arrive by mail, and I relapsed. I relapsed.
Did you go— right, so you got it again and you were better?
I was better, and then I had a full-blown relapse.
No, I'm saying, and after that you got the pills and then you were better Yes, so I got the hydroxychloroquine. By the way, did you take zinc with the zinc? Okay, good. All right, bless you. Fine. I, I— here's a dissenter, John in Libertyville, Illinois. Hello.
Uh, thank you for taking my call. I, I heard your comment, um, saying that basically defining two sides of me is the debate over hydroxychloroquine. On the one side, the people who say that it is dangerous and will cause arrhythmia, and people like you who assert that it has efficacy and people should take it in the early stages. I think that, um, I think that's a mischaracterization of the two sides, and I'll tell you why. I think on the one side, I think it's more honest and accurate to say on the one side you have people who look at the, what, more than 10 clinical trials now that have arrived at the conclusion that the risks outweigh the benefits and the clinical trials that have been canceled because of those findings. And on the other side, at least on your program, and I don't do this to insult you, but I think that when I hear you say that, all I could think is, well, Dennis Prager's job is to just second everything Donald Trump says. And I don't think when I hear you touting hydroxychloroquine, I have to say, I don't feel compelled.
Let me ask you a question. Why do you think, why do you think I take it I would risk my life because Donald Trump advocated something?
Are you taking it? Yes. And okay, and so you— I don't think that that necessarily proves anything, but I think that—
No, no, I just— you didn't answer my question. Do you think I'd risk my life because Donald Trump advocated something?
I don't think you would risk your job to contradict him.
Oh my God. Okay, you didn't answer my question. I'm taking it, uh, I found out about it because he mentioned it and then I looked into it. I, I— it would be, by the way, my job. The views of people are so odd to me. You think my employers give a damn whether I'm pro or anti-hydroxychloroquine? I think I got a memo. If nothing else, I could have said nothing about it.

I am really, really, really, really happy with your response to my movie. Have you seen it yet? I would say something like, if you see it and don't like it, I'll give you your money back. But, uh, I can't do that legally. But I will tell you, you're not going to— you're not going to regret it. $19.99. You're not going to regret it. Listen to this one. This is one I got from a Democrat. Headline: A Great Wake-Up Call for Democrats Like Myself. And here's what this person wrote. Don't know whether it's male or female. As a lifelong Democrat, this movie called attention to the failing of my party. Wow. I heard it said before that Black Americans are disillusioned and fed up with being taken granted by the Democrats, only paid attention to during election cycle. So I felt it was my responsibility to really take these voices seriously, and I felt it was my responsibility to see your film. This hits to the core of it. I cannot accept ignorance any longer and feel any Democrat who is unwilling to see this film is intentionally failing to practice what they preach, which is that all Black lives matter. A bitter pill to swallow, but absolutely necessary. Become a well-rounded, informed citizen and watch this film. End of quote. I am not making this up. You believe— you don't believe me? Go to IMDb yourself and look at the user reviews and you'll see the one I just now read.

There is talk, Hugh, and I have it in my story today about a possible vacancy this summer. We've heard a lot about whether Justice Thomas will retire or not, but the name I keep hearing in my source world is Judge Amul Thapar, the federal judge in Kentucky, the former U.S. attorney in Kentucky, that he's seen as a favorite of Leader McConnell, and that if there is a narrow window, someone like him, if Thomas retires, who's young, 51 years old, who's seen as confirmable, could be moved this summer. And you think this is already a political and culture war in this country? Just wait for a possible— Oh, Robert, you should have called me.
I don't report buzz much, but since you brought it up, the stronger rumor is that Justice Alito is going to quit. Justice Thomas will never quit. And that Justice Alito opens up the opportunity to put on Ray Kethledge again, or David Strauss, or Don Willett. That if indeed Justice Thomas were to retire would be on multiparty. That one's a done deal. If it's Justice Thomas, that's a great tip. That is what my— you know what happens at this time of the year is that people begin working the refs and I'm hardly a ref, but I got a column in the Washington Post. And so they start working me about, you know, this person would be great if Alito quit and this person would be great if Thomas quit. And they— everybody agrees with what you just said. If Thomas were to quit, Senate. He were to say, look, I'm 72, I've done my share. But Robert, did you run into anyone who told you what he said? He swore the oath that he wasn't going to leave his job until the last person who voted against his nomination had left the Senate. He's still there. How old is Justice Alito? I think he's 74. He might be 72. I'm not sure. But he hates— the buzz is his wife hates Washington, D.C.

Speaker Gingrich, welcome to the show.
I'm glad to be with you, and a lot of things going on.
What is your sense of what is happening right now All right, everybody, we hear that Houston is now the, as it were, the new epicenter of COVID-19. So I have a distinguished emergency room physician in Houston on the line, Dr. Bo Breeze, B-R-I-E-S-E. Dr. Breeze, I know for many years, and you are a one of the most intellectually honest individuals I have had the honor of knowing.
So, uh, well, Dennis, that definitely applies to you, uh, from me for sure.
Thank you very much. Is it, uh, do you feel, uh, uh, free to say what hospital you're with? Yes, I'm with Houston Methodist Hospital, which is the hospital that has, uh, been in, in the New York Times and others as, as the place that they go to to, to show that what a crisis we're in, correct?
That seems to be the media portrayal. It doesn't match the reality on the ground. Yes, that's the way they're portraying it.
Okay, that's why I want to talk to you. So tell us what the reality on the ground is.
It's busy. There are a lot of patients that are arriving with symptoms of COVID We're in a second peak, which was expected. We were talking about there being a second peak all the way in January. But it is busy like other periods in which we've been busy during flu seasons in prior years. The deaths, the number of deaths per day that we're having in Houston has been roughly the same since April. So while we're seeing a lot of cases, the number of deaths per day has been pretty steady. So it requires us to change some of our processes to adapt and expand capacity, but in ways that we anticipated, in ways that we planned for, in ways that So when you read these reports, which are now almost universal in the media, of Houston as the new epicenter, and therefore this means another lockdown, how do you react? It seems to me that they're pushing a narrative that isn't based on reality. You know, they're pushing a story that lends to a certain narrative about freedom versus freedom versus a more controlled way response like you saw in Seattle and New York. Seattle and New York, many of the places that enacted more severe restrictions had much higher mortality rates than we did in Texas where we had sort of a more freedom-based approach to voluntary self-isolation until it became mandatory, you know, masking, all the rest of that. And so the— I think the idea behind it is to is to create a narrative that in fact our more freedom-based approach was faulty and now we're getting our comeuppance. But I don't think that the reality on the ground matches that. I mean, I think we can handle what we've got. I think we can handle where it's going. And it's a lot of work, but it's work that we're prepared for. I mean, this is, this is why we have emergency medical systems. This is why we all trained to do what we do.
Are we a lot better at treating COVID patients today than, let's say, in April?
Yes, there's a lot less mystery about the disease. Of course, in 2 years, a layman will know more than any expert does today on the disease. But we know strategies that work. We know how much uncertainty we have about which drugs may or may not work. and we know how to recognize it much more easily. So I think it's much easier to treat now than it was in April. I mean, I've taken care of over 100 patients, I lost track, and it is much easier to take care of them today than it was a few months ago.
How long are they in for on average?
Um, well, it's an interesting question, right? So when they come into the emergency department, they arrive and we discharge most of them because most people are feeling sick and they're wondering what's wrong long. Sometimes they're feeling quite uncomfortable, but they're actually quite stable. So the vast majority of patients go home the same day.
Forgive me, with COVID or without COVID?
With COVID The vast majority of patients with COVID go home from the emergency department safely with medications in place to make them feel comfortable while they get over a disease that is like an extended cold for most of them. It makes them feel uncomfortable in ways they haven't felt uncomfortable before, but not one that's going to risk their life.
Has anyone you've treated died?
Yes, one patient died that I took care of.
How old was that patient? 80. And did the person have other conditions?
Many, many other medical conditions, and they came in as a delayed presentation, um, after they've been sick for a while, and family had been asking them to come in for a while. Declined, and they died. They died 10 days later. They didn't die.
All right, when, when we come back, I want to ask you, if you were the czar of Texas with whatever you said went, what would you prescribe? Speaking to Dr. Beau Brees, emergency room physician, Houston. Are we at, uh, I have to tell you, folks, we're talking about, uh, Relief Factor. I have in front of me an email from a family in Royal Oak, Michigan. It's a big, beautiful picture of the family celebrating, uh, Independence Day. From our small family in Michigan. And then the dad is crouching And he said, I'm only able to crouch like that because of Relief Factor. Okay, now you know how powerful this thing is. Try it out for, uh, 3 weeks. The 3-week quick start is $19.95. ReliefFactor.com, 800-500-8384. Obama tore this country down. No one stood up to him. Nobody. Because he was black. You need to wake up.
My parents didn't teach me that I was a victim.
They can turn back voting rights.
Did nobody donate to us the right to vote? I didn't call you a nigger. Oh, okay, that's a big difference.
An Uncle Tom is somebody who has sold out by embracing the white man. Uncle Tom.
Bedwetch. Bootlicker.
Black white supremacist, chucking and jiving, house negro, coon, Uncle Tom, coon, coon. I have a coon award over there. Coon of the Year Award. Most black people don't believe that other blacks can be independent free thinkers.
I believe the legacy and the ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day. I will not pretend to be a victim in this country. I know that that makes many people on the left uncomfortable.
Racist, racist, racial Racist. Racism. A thousand cuts of racism. The liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
I never felt that because I was black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
The ideology is implanted plant it into you subconsciously to believe these things.
It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of Black Americans.
We're brainwashed to think, well, is it because I'm Black?
America's not ours, or we got shipped here. No, our blood is on this soil. We own this too. There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great Black men and women. Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry.
So long as Black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.

Me, when Bill Clinton, after twice vetoing almost identically worded bills, finally signed the Welfare Reform Act. One of the reasons he got elected is because he was going to be a different Democrat. We're going to change welfare as we know it. He said it during the 1992 campaign. It didn't do anything. And then Dick Morris said, when he's running for reelection, look, if you want to win this election, you have to do something, fulfill this campaign promise. So Bill Clinton signed the Welfare Reform Act of 1996— 1996, 1994, 1996, I think it was. And a bunch of liberals, his own party. They were furious, furious. One of the children's advocates is a woman named Marian Wright Edelman. She stopped speaking to Hillary. They were good friends. Members of the Congressional Caucus said that when this bill goes through, there are going to be people sleeping on the, on the, on the grates outside because they're going to be so poor. What happened? Welfare rolls declined almost 50%. Far steeper than the most optimistic projections were?
Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. Dr. Beau Brees was mentioned in a New York Times piece about Houston as the new, quote, epicenter, unquote, of COVID-19. He is an emergency room physician at the hospital that they went to there. Houston Methodist Hospital. So I asked you, Dr. Brees, a tough question, but if you were Emperor of Texas, what, what would be your policy?
First thing, I get a, I get a really nice hat so I fit in. I think the key thing to do is to isolate the vulnerable. And those who are with them, and then open, open up the economy otherwise, because we're seeing some really ill effects to a strategy of basically trying to shut Texas and America down in many, many ways. You know, we know that the people who are really at risk of dying of COVID and there are certainly populations that are, are folks like asthmatics, folks like those in nursing homes, older folks with a lot of comorbid conditions. And those, those people and those who interact directly with them should take voluntary steps to self-isolate. And then I would encourage everything else to open up because we're seeing a tremendous number of ill effects of the current strategy. Even if you just look at health, forget about economics, I've seen patients present late for heart attacks in ways that we didn't have the same strategies available to reduce their weakness and shortness of breath that they're going to have for the rest of their lives because they were afraid to come in, they were afraid of COVID I've seen strokes present late when we don't have the opportunity to give them good treatments. I've seen— I had a patient present late for a leg infection that we ended up having to recommend amputation for because they presented late because they were afraid of this one disease that has a mortality rate. I mean, it's important to put things in perspective. Perspective, it's a significant issue, COVID-19, and it has a lot of— and I think 130,000 people plus or minus have passed away. It's a very significant illness. But in the United States, you know, 2.8 million people die every year. And the mortality rate, if someone gets COVID, the mortality rate is perhaps, you know, 0.1 to 0.5% overall when you— once we get all the data back, once we do surveillance studies of antibodies. My guess is that's where it's going to be. Is then about 1% of people. If you get a heart attack, your chances of dying are 14% in the United States. If you get cancer, your chances of dying of that disease are 30%. So while it is important and we need to do everything right for the patients and admit and do intensive therapy on those that need it, a strategy of bringing every— you know, sort of isolating everyone is very ineffective and has so many ill effects. The rate of suicide goes up if you cause an economic crash. And we're seeing so many others arrive late for diseases that we could have prevented and could have intervened with because they're so afraid of a disease that is far less risky.
Well, obviously I'm in agreement. Let me ask you two things that I, uh, I have no idea what your answer would be. What is your take on hydroxychloroquine?
I think the data is mixed. I don't think it's clear whether it is effective or ineffective. I've seen studies going both ways, and I would neither suggest it nor go after anyone who did because we just don't know enough to know if it's going to be— if it's helpful.
Well, I'll put you on the spot, which is not a problem, but I admit it, I am. So if a loved one had it in the, in the first 5 days, would you recommend it or not?
I probably wouldn't. I'd go with steroids. I think the data is better for steroids at this point. If you'd asked me that 2 or 3 months ago, I would have said let's try the hydroxychloroquine because the early studies looked more promising. And that's the sort of dynamic situation that you're in with experts. And experts only know as much as humanity knows, and we don't know a ton about this disease. We know more than we did And so we're all, you know, you have to keep changing what you're going to be doing, which is why people should be very tolerant of a whole range of strategies that people are trying because everything is experimental until you've done many clinical trials.
My other question was, did you have any young patients who got very sick? Yes.
A couple, but not very many. The folks— asthmatics have a hard time with the disease sometimes, and their lungs are compromised to begin with. Yes, and the way that the disease works is particularly difficult for them, and a few others with certain long-term respiratory conditions. But the mortality from this disease is— and these are trends, like there's obviously exceptions to everything I'm saying— but it's much more disease of the old. In terms of mortality, not in terms of people getting it. Right, exactly. And much more disease of people with lots of, lots of comorbidities.
Which is why you would open up Texas.
Absolutely. If you crash the economy, so many other things go badly. I worry about the rate of suicide. We're starting to see more people come in. By the way, one—
I know that. One, I am curious then, what is the most effective drug drug that you're now using?
Oxygen supplementation. I know that's sort of a— sounds like a sort of a cop-out answer, but really it's about oxygen supplementation is the most effective thing that we're seeing. Doing things to sort of prevent this sort of small lung collapse that happens with pressure in the lungs, that's the most effective strategy.
So when you send these people home who do have it, you're not giving them any prescriptions?
No, I'm giving them stuff so they feel better. I was, you know, I was answering in terms of, you know, right.
No, no, I understand.
I was just curious. Oh yeah. I give them ibuprofen and Tylenol to make them feel better. I'll give them cough suppressant. I'll give them, you know, stuff like that. Most people, for the vast majority of people, the disease is uncomfortable and will not be a big deal for a, for a Narrow, narrow but significant slice of the population, a significant slice that for the most part we can predict it is a significant disease and they need to be careful. And we should adopt strategies that reflect that. We shouldn't shut down all of America. That has a tremendously negative effect. Even if you just look at the health effects. As I said, we're having people not show up for diseases that really need intervention. That have much higher mortality rates. Um, well, listen, God bless your work. That's all I could say. Oh, thank you, Dennis.
Thank you, Dr. Bo Breeze, emergency room physician, Houston Methodist Hospital.

Joe Biden came out of the basement yesterday, sort of. This is not really a press conference. Cut number 6, where he admits he's got a list of people he's going to call on. Cut number 6.
I'm happy to take questions if you have them. You gave me a list of how to recognize— is Alex AP out there?
And then he slams Trump for his cognitive capabilities. Believe it or not, cut number 8.
One of two things. This president is— talks about cognitive capability. He doesn't seem to be cognitively aware of what's going on. He either reads and/or gets briefed on important issues and he forgets it, or he doesn't think it's necessary that he need to know it. But the fact is that at a minimum, at a minimum, the discrepancy allegedly between— within the intelligence community has reported some thought it was more certain and others thought it was less certain. That should be resolved. The president should have on day one said, I want you to come before me in the Situation Room. Oh my God. Lay out the differences.
The prospect of this guy as president.
I know you have an aesthetic, some of you have an aesthetic objection to Donald Trump, that he's mean, that he picks fights, he personalizes everything. But honest to goodness, slow Joe Biden, you really, you're gonna trust this country in the middle of an existential battle with the Chinese Communist Party that's gonna extend for 100 years, and we're going to start it with Joe Biden.

The New York Times is reporting how Mount Rushmore was built on land that belonged to the Lakota tribe and sculpted by a man who had strong bonds with the Ku Klux Klan. It features the faces of two U.S. presidents who were slaveholders. That's an actual tweet from the New York Times. Now, PragerU points out that the same New York Times which has a storied history. Its founding editor was a guy named Henry Jarvis Raymond. In 1851, the New York Times founding editor published an editorial in which he supported a slave owner's legal right to recover his escaped slaves. So PragerU had an interesting question to the New York Times. Will you guys also be canceling yourselves since you want everything canceled?
So there was a doctor I have great respect for who was ambivalent about hydroxychloroquine. He's neither opposed nor pro. I— so I could see those who oppose me for advocating and say, you see, look at that. Or you could say, "Huh, I guess Prager really does run an honest show. I had no idea what he would say." That's why I asked him. I didn't ask him in order to further my cause. The moronic call from Libertyville, Illinois that I'll be fired if I oppose hydroxychloroquine. Will they now send me a memo, don't have this doctor on again? God, I tell you, one of the sickest parts of the left is the impossibility of believing that those who differ with them can have honorable intentions. By definition, if you differ with the left, you are despicable. That's the whole racist thing, right? You differ with me, You're a racist. You're a six-herb. Remember how many, what is it, 10 years ago I came up with that? Sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, racist, bigoted.
Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.
There you go. That's the story, Morning Glory. Sexist. Are you sexist? Oh, I guess. Dr. Zelenko has released a study. Joanne, Lake Forest, Illinois. I'm gonna have to, uh, make that available to people. I'll read it. In the meantime, before this hour ends— we have another hour, of course. I have a lot of very important stuff to share with you. I do, uh, want to remind you that you have a very terrible problem if you have kids. Whether to send them to most American schools, public or private, or this coming year. And I'm not talking about COVID talking about something far more threatening to America— the hate America curriculum that they will get, the 1619 lie about America. And, uh, and, and the whole racist curriculum, the whole LGBTQ curriculum of having drag queen story hours for 5-year-olds. I would not send my kid to a regular school in most cases. Some cases, if they're not adopting these curricula, I don't care. It's a terrible dilemma for you because you need to find a good school. You may not be able to afford the good school, though most private schools are just as bad. Maybe a religious school, but not all of them are at all reliable. Then there's homeschooling, but that, that sounds very daunting to parents, and I fully understand that. But unless you are prepared to have a child who has contempt for you, which is what they will be studying, contempt for your parents' values, for the next 12 years, you'll have to reconsider.

Speaker:GINGRICH, welcome to the show. I'm glad to be with you.
And there's a lot of things going on.
Um, what is your sense of what is happening right now and what this president will need to do to be reelected?
This is the most consequential election since Abraham Lincoln in 1860. I think the difference between between Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer as a team and Trump and McCarthy and McConnell is so wide that people can't imagine how different we'd be 2 years after you had Biden as president with Pelosi and Schumer basically dominating him, but that they would take us to somewhere between California and Seattle. I think what's happening is Trump challenged the entire national establishment, starting with his nomination, when they first hated him. The first article about impeaching him is April of 2016, before he's even the nominee, followed up then by a whole series of other kinds of problems. And an unending, relentless attack by what I would call the propaganda media. And of course, they spent the last, you know, 4 years trying to destroy Trump every single day. So this election is going to decide whether we continue to go down that road, or whether we end up, you know, deciding that we really do want to become a radically different country.

Whole bunch of breaking news today. Uh, the economy showing some really, really strong signs. The economy added a record 4.8 million jobs last month, a lot of African American jobs coming back, hundreds of thousands. I think the president said 800,000. Economists and experts were watching the June jobs report closely. Our unemployment rate has dropped to 11.1%. That's down from 13.3%. So over a 2-point decrease in our unemployment. So that's good news. They had expected 1.38 million. We got 1.427 million jobs added to the American economy. This is, of course, the delicate balance of opening up while trying to keep track of keeping as many people safe and healthy as possible, and we're seeing grim infection rates and numbers still not horrific hospitalization or death numbers. Now, the fear, of course, is that that's a lagging indicator. I see a lot of people on social media when somebody will say, hey, the hospitalizations and death numbers are not commensurate with the surging infection numbers, people that are testing positive, and I see a lot of people say, oh, just you wait, just you wait, 2, 3, 4 weeks, It's going to be Armageddon. Well, we'll see. Let's pray that's not the case. And if it's not the case, then, well, they were wrong again. And they have been wrong many, many, many times, sometimes willfully wrong.

Well, here's how it's supposed to go. The president was briefed on some plot that the Russians had to pay Taliban to kill American soldiers. As if you have to incentivize Taliban to kill American soldiers, but whatever. The president was briefed and did nothing. Oops, now it turns out the president wasn't briefed. Oh well, okay, maybe he wasn't briefed, but he should have been briefed. Well, it turns out the intel was not corroborated. Well, okay, well, are you saying that he only gets briefed on intel that's been corroborated? Raise your hand if you're out there saying George W. Bush lied, people died. He read his daily briefings. He read the intel. Turns out the intel expected there to be a stockpile of WMD. Stockpile wasn't there. So therefore the intel is infallible. Therefore, uh, every president who reads the presidential daily brief is going to make the right kind of foreign policy decision. Obama read them. Pull all the troops out of Iraq.
Well, hello everybody. I'm Dennis Prager trying to save America with you. I, and I mean that quite sincerely. The vow I took at Normandy Beach to myself about 25 years ago has really become ever more important. I looked at all the grave sites of these guys in their 20s, sometimes teens, who died. Thousands of grave sites at Normandy Beach where D-Day took place. And I took the following vow. They— these guys, these men, these young men died to preserve America and liberty. So the least I could do is live to preserve America and liberty. I would like to ask people on the left, did, uh, did our soldiers die in vain? If America is such a racist place and so despicable, what were they dying for? That, I mean, they mock the idea that it's been a free country. Oh, it's not free for everybody. Women didn't have the vote till— what year was it that women got the vote? And blacks were suffering segregation. The amazing thing is the left is pro-segregation. The black left is pro-segregation. That is the irony. You know, I have a very controversial position that you may not even be aware of. And there are people who really like what I say. 1920. I thought 1918. Okay. But I didn't know it, so I didn't say any year. I wrote, actually I wrote this piece for a Jewish magazine called Shema. And a number of years ago, I am not a fan of ethnic neighborhoods. I, I believe in the American model of e pluribus unum, from many one. We should all be American. I have no problem. Look, I have very strong Jewish identity. I have no problem I live— I work in Glendale, California. There's a huge Armenian population. It's the largest population of Armenians outside of Armenia is in here in Glendale.
And they—
if they send their kids to Armenian schools, I think it's great. I have no problem with that. Learn the Armenian culture, language, the Christian— Christianity. That's, that's Armenia was the first Christian country, I think, in Europe. But they feel very strongly American. Duke Majan was an Armenian American, he was the governor of California, Republican. So I have no problem, I think it is wonderful if you keep up your traditions, your religious life and so on, but I do believe that the neighborhood idea, black neighborhood, Jewish neighborhood, um, what other— Korean neighborhood, Chinese neighborhood. I don't think it's a healthy thing. I think we should all be living, uh, amongst each other. That's the American ideal. I have two neighbors in my cul-de-sac, Arab Christians Parents from Lebanon and Syria and Koreans, first-generation Koreans. I think it's great. So I'm a big fan of integration, huge fan. See, I'm a big fan of all the liberal values that I was raised with. The only liberal value I was raised with that I have rejected is big government. Big one. That's why I became Republican. But I have upheld every single liberal value I was raised with except big government. Racial integration, colorblind, pro-Israel, pro-free speech. I mean, big ones, all of which are denounced by the left. My deep disappointment in liberals— deep, deep— that they think the left is their— they don't understand the left is their enemy. 1-800-PRAGER-776. Kevin McCullough in Town Hall. 6 weeks, 6 cities, 600 murders. You know one name of any of those murderers? A girl at a Christian college said, "We really don't care when blacks are killed by blacks. We only care when blacks are killed by white cops." And she was basically dismissed from the Christian college. Read my column on the failure of Jews and Christians during this crisis. Not all, but many. Single most important issue, McCullough writes, affecting some of the largest swaths of populations in America is the scandal the media ignores even as it explodes in our faces. In only 6 weeks, city after city operated by entrenched Democrats have seen a massive expansion in lawlessness, violence, and murder. Stunningly, many news outlets seem gobsmacked stunned and mystified at how or why such an explosion of lawlessness has occurred. New York. Democratic mayor has long been understood as anti-police. His wife recently imagined the city as nirvana if the New York Police Department were eliminated altogether. Thus far in 2020, homicides are up 21%. Shootings are up 46%. Democratic mayor's agenda included emptying the prison known as Rikers Island, bail reform, letting perps walk before the paperwork is completed, and the effort to defund police that took 600 anti-crime units out of commission. Los Angeles, an increase in the month's first week by 250% of homicides and a 56% increase in shootings. Following the death of George Floyd in May, the LAPD received a $150 million cut. Chicago year-to-date shootings have eclipsed 1,508 for 2020, putting them 350 ahead of 2019. To date, homicides sit at 254, placing them ahead of 2019. Important to note that the Cook County Board voted in favor of defunding police. 11 city aldermen raced to the fore to demand that not a single penny of $333 million in federal dollars go to police. And various proposals are being considered to cut current funding by more than $30 million in current spending. Washington, D.C., year-to-date homicide numbers 13% higher than this time a year ago. Nevertheless, the District PD, police department, is slated to be defunded by more than $15 million. Philadelphia shootings are up— ready? 67%. Victims of armed violence are up 29%. Homicides are up 25%. So of course it makes sense to defund the Philadelphia Police Department by $19 million. Baltimore, as consistently one of the most dangerous cities in America, with a 5-year streak of more than 300 murders. Last year, Baltimore set a new record at 348 homicides. Yet in 2010, they outpaced last year's record and will see defunding to the effect of $22 million. And blacks will vote Democrats. Historians will look upon this as the most perplexing society they have ever studied. How could one so, so basically good and decent convince so many of its people of how despicable it is? I'd love to ask people who call America racist, compared to what? It's a very telling question. Is there another country with this percentage of people who are not white that has done better? Is there any other country that has this, this number Is there a white country where the whites are becoming increasingly likely to be under 50%? There's nothing. Is there any? There's nothing comparable, is there? So when you say America is X or Y, compared to what? I'll tell you compared to what. To imagine. The left lives in Imagineville. That's why they're utopians. I compare America to the rest of the world, not to what I imagine. That's why I'm not on the left.

Speaker Gingrich, welcome to the show. I'm glad to be with you. And there's a lot of things going on.
Um, what is your sense of what is happening right now and what this president will need to do to be reelected?
This is the most consequential election since, um, Abraham Lincoln in 1860. I think the difference between Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer as a team and Trump and McCarthy and McConnell is so wide that people can't imagine how different we'd be 2 years after, uh, you had Biden as president with Pelosi and Schumer basically dominating him, uh, but that they would take us to somewhere between California Virginia, and Seattle. So, I think what's happening is, Trump challenged the entire national establishment, starting with his nomination, when they first hated him. The first article about impeaching him is April of 2016, before he's even the nominee, followed up then by a whole series other kinds of problems, and an unending, relentless attack by what I would call the propaganda media. And of course, they spent the last, you know, 4 years trying to destroy Trump every single day. So this election is going to decide whether we continue to go down that road, or whether we end up, you know, deciding that we really do want to become a radically different country.

Whole bunch of breaking news today. Uh, the economy showing some really, really strong signs. The economy added a record 4.8 million jobs last month, a lot of African American jobs coming back, hundreds of thousands. I think the president said 800,000. Economists and experts were watching the June jobs report closely. Our unemployment rate has dropped to 11.1%. That's down from 13.3%. So over a 2-point decrease in our unemployment rate. So that's good news. They had expected 1.38 million, we got 1.427 million jobs added to the American economy. This is, of course, the delicate balance of opening up while trying to keep track of keeping as many people safe and healthy as possible, and we're seeing grim infection rates and numbers still not horrific hospitalization or death numbers. Now, the fear, of course, is that that's a lagging indicator. I see a lot of people on social media when somebody will say, hey, the hospitalizations and death numbers are not commensurate with the surging infection numbers, people that are testing positive. And I see a lot of people say, oh, just you wait, just you wait, 2, 3, 4 weeks. It's going to be Armageddon. Well, we'll see. Let's pray that's not the case. And if it's not the case, then, well, they were wrong again. And they have been wrong many, many, many times, sometimes willfully wrong. Keep up with what's trending.

Is dialing #250 and say the keyword Dennis Prager. #250, keyword Dennis Prager. Let's hear now the esteemed mayor of Chicago. Yeah, mayor of Chicago, please. Mayor, yeah.
Well, hold on one second.
Well, let me give the background. The question was the data that I just read to you about the vast amount of murder and shootings in Chicago. So why is that happening? This is Mayor Lightfoot's response. That what has been the legacy of racism and segregation and lack of investment in our city That is really what's causing a lot of this. Violence is an explosion, but there's a root cause underneath that. And in too many of our neighborhoods, historically, we have not invested enough in making sure that we've got access to good healthcare, to good jobs, schools. Yeah, that's what— that's why people murder or rape. And burglarize. It— I have to admit, it's a little depressing that people take the left seriously, intellectually and morally. Every leftist is a fool. Nice person, honorable in many cases. I totally get get it. Most leftists are not nice, but some are, and they're, uh, in their personal lives I'm talking. But, but every leftist idea is foolish and therefore bad. You know the— you know, in the Jewish prayer book for Passover, there are four sons who ask questions, and there's a part of the, the ancient Haggadah, as it's called, and there are 4 sons. There's a bad son, there's a wise son, there's a son who was simple, and a son who doesn't know how to ask. And you have to know how to answer or how to talk to each of them in their own way. Why isn't there a good son? Because good without wise is useless. That's why. See, even if you're a nice person, if you're a leftist, you are utterly destructive to the society. Nice people can do a lot of evil. Just the way it is. Never been different. Because ideology corrupts you. This is a sick and despicable answer. Do you know why these people in the inner city murder? Because they're scum. That's why. You— if you can't say murderers are scum— wait, are white murderers scum? Like, I'd like to ask her that question. Or why is there— if the, if the reason for all the black murderer in the inner city is, uh, let's see, not invested enough in good healthcare, good jobs, and schools, then why do whites murder? So is white murderers do it because they're evil, but black murderers do it because they're deprived? Is that what we're supposed to believe? Do you realize this is what the left does want us to believe. So in other words, a black who commits evil is not to be judged. A white who commits evil, a Hispanic, I don't know, they're ambivalent on that one, I guess. But certainly if a white commits evil. Isn't that fascinating? What about rape? Is that because of lack of government investment in good schools? You have to go to a good school to learn murder is wrong? You have to go to a good school to learn rape is wrong? You have to go to a good school to learn looting is wrong? And nobody will challenge her because anybody who challenges her will be called a racist and they'll lose their job. That's where we are in America today, thanks to the New New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and the others who are ruining our society. It's fascinating. Tell me what I said that was wrong. Be curious. All righty, let's go to Leonard in Spring, Texas. Hello, Leonard.
Hello, Dennis. Hi. I want to thank you first for your strong, intense faith and love for the country. Thank you. Yeah, it's Dennis. It's all common sense.

Chicago was blowing up, and, uh, the activists, the community so-called black activists, a lot of them, Obama included, we need jobs. They kept, we need jobs.

You voted for Barack Obama. Did you vote for Donald Trump?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I was a full Democrat. I was with the run, Jesse, run generation. That was awful when I look back. Run, Jesse, run. And what he did, he ran to the bank.
But anyway, he was there. Hey, that's one of the great lines of my career.
Yes, sir. Run Jesse, run. That's right.
He did. He wrapped it. You're right.
I was excited. I was very excited. Run Jesse, run. Every airport, they showed run, run Jesse, run. They chained him. Run Jesse, run. And what did he do? He enriched his family. He enriched his family in Chicago while Chicago's burning, while Chicago—
while New York's burning. That's right. That's correct. Chicago's burning. Chicago. Al Sharpton is not particularly impoverished either. What's that, sir? I said Al Sharpton is not particularly poor either. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, so quickly, so, so to quickly tell me, are you married? Yes, I am. How did your wife react to your change?
Hey man, hey, I'm one man on the island. We can't even discuss, we can't even discuss Politics. My son called me an Uncle Tom. You should see—
did she— you got to show her Uncle Tom.
Seriously, I take it with pride because Uncle Tom is all-American. He believed in compromising. He believed in inclusiveness. He believed in America. Uncle Tom bleeds red, white, and blue.
Is there anyone in your extended family who agrees with you?
No, no, sir. No, sir. I'm glad you called me up. Underground. I'm part of the Underground Railroad. Yeah, I escaped from the Democratic Party. Oh my God, I escaped. I escaped. And what we have, sir, underground, what we use is wisdom, common sense.
That's right. That's all you need. You are a joy. I hope I meet you one day. God, you know Well, I'm a conservative Jew, or Jewish conservative, either way you want to put it. And most Jews are on the left, but I mean, at least a third of us share my views, but it's much lonelier to be a black conservative. I feel for him, no question about that. Do we have time to play one of these clips? What's our story? I want to have a few more charmers for you. Yeah, why don't we do this? This is just, uh, yeah, the CNN here. I haven't heard it. Let's hear it. Down our country's history, which she did in her presentation. That was perfect. She's tearing down our nation's history. If someone 5 years ago, let alone 50, would have told you that on national television someone will say about a president visiting Mount Rushmore he's going to speak in front of two slave owners on country stolen from the indigenous people, they would have thought you're out of your mind. And then she says, isn't that absurd that he's going to talk about people tearing down the country?
What were Europeans—
look, that Indians were maltreated is a given. There's not a question about that. But what were, what was any non, let's say Asians had come to the United States. What would they, or not, there wasn't the United States, had come to this continent, which was sparsely populated, right? Relative to the size, they were very, very, very few. Very few people here. So, what was supposed to happen? Was no one supposed to settle here because it might displace indigenous people? This is an open question. What, what was supposed to happen? This is not a defense of the maltreatment of Indians or Native Americans. It's an honest question that is not grappled with. Did indigenous people ever uproot other indigenous people? Did that happen? I suspect so. All right, gentlemen. Relief factor. So I didn't show you the picture, but I got a picture. Picture of this man in, uh, was it Michigan? And his family. And his whole caption is, from our small family in Michigan. I see a dad, two kids, and a dog decked out on this big chair that goes up three steps.

Racist. Racist.
Racial. Racist. Racism.
A thousand cuts of racism. The liberal will try to control a Black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people.
I never felt that because I was Black or I was poor or a woman that I couldn't do something.
I grew up being told of my disadvantages, that this country is unfair to black people.
The ideology is implanted into you subconsciously to believe these things.
It's like a cancerous plague in the mind of black Americans.
We're brainwashed to think, is it because I'm black?
America's not ours, so we got shipped here. No, our Our blood is on this soil.
We own this too.
There should be a pride that we have in the fact that this country was built by many great Black men and women.
Are you trying to say that this country does not specialize in racism and bigotry?
So long as Black people continue to have their psyche filled by that nonsense, we won't have an awakening.

Me. When Bill Clinton, after twice vetoing almost identically worded bills, finally signed the Welfare Reform Act— one of the reasons he got elected is because he was going to be a different Democrat. We're going to change welfare as we know it, he said during the 1992 campaign. It didn't do anything. And then Dick Morris said, when he's running for reelection, look, if you want to win this election, you have to do something, fulfill this campaign promise. So Bill Clinton signed the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. 1996, 1994, 1996, I think it was. And a bunch of liberals, his own party, they were furious, furious. One of the children's advocates is a woman named Marian Wright Edelman. She stopped speaking to Hillary. They were good friends. Members of the Congressional Caucus said that when this bill goes through, there are going to be people sleeping on the, on the, on the grates outside because they're going to be so poor. What happened? Welfare rolls declined almost 50%.
Tammy Duckworth is a senator of the Democratic Party. From Indiana? Illinois. Okay, let's hear her. This is important. Named after Confederate leaders, but there are leaders like Washington and Thomas Jefferson who were slave owners, and some people are demanding that their monuments come down too. So in your view, where does it end? Should statues, for example, of George Washington come down?
Well, let me just say that we should start off by having a national dialogue on it at some point, but right now we're in the middle of a global pandemic.
Okay, okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. We should have a national discussion on it. So she's not prepared to say no. Senator of the United States of America from Illinois. Anyway, whether we should tear down George Washington and Abraham Lincoln statues. Yeah, blow up the Washington Monument. These are Taliban. The left and Democrats are equivalent to the Taliban. Remember everybody got angry about blowing up the Buddhist statues? They regarded Buddhism as heretical, and these people regard the founders as heretical. I see no difference. Well, you say, well, they're not violent. Really? There's not a violent wing? Taliban had a violent wing, and— or was a violent wing. There's no violent wing to the left? Say, well, there's a violent wing to the right. No, there isn't. There are violent individuals on the right, not a wing. Anyway, certainly ideologically they're like the Taliban. So we'll have a national discussion. That's all she says. Now she goes on to what the president should have talked about. Go on.
Some point, but right now we're in the middle of a global pandemic, and our— one of our allies, one of our countries that are opposed to us, Russia, has put a bounty on American troops' heads. What really struck me me about the speech that the president gave at Mount Rushmore was that he spent more time worried about honoring dead Confederates.
Okay, that's a lie. He did not worry about dead Confederates. He didn't say anything about it. Is that correct? I mean, I am just— I want to bounce this off Mr. Truth. The living martyr is Mr. Truth. I'm sorry, talked about Lincoln. They say anything because truth is not a left-wing value. Next, continue.
Honoring dead Confederates, and then he did talking about the lives of our American— 130,000 Americans who lost their lives to COVID-19.
Or wait a minute, he's supposed to go to Mount Rushmore on Independence Day to talk about about deaths from COVID Okay, go on.
COVID-19, or by warning Russia off of the bounty they're putting on Americans' heads. I mean, his priorities are all wrong here. He should be talking about what we're going to do.
He gave a magnificent speech. His priorities were entirely right. What does it mean, overcome the pandemic? What is your— what is your take on overcoming the pandemic? Keep Americans unemployed for another year. I wrote in the beginning, I, I have, I, I had said from the beginning that the cure was worse than the illness. And I said that just remember, terrible economic crises lead to terrible things happening in society. And I had in mind Germany in the 1930s as a result of the Great Depression and the inflation in Germany. If it were not for that, the Nazis would never have come to power. They did not come to power because of anti-Semitism. Hitler's major aim was anti-Semitism, but they came to power because of the depression and the inflation. Virtually every Jewish and non-Jewish story of the Holocaust acknowledges that there are terrible— there are terrible things that happen. It's already happening in America. We would not have had the scale of demonstrations if this had been a normal time. People have been at baseball games. They had nothing else to do. It's the only thing that got them out of the house. People are bored and angry. It is— I cannot overstate my anger and disdain for Gavin Newsom for destroying more restaurants and the private businesses again. What do they want, the death rate to be zero? Nobody should die and then we'll open up? Nobody? Have we ever had such a policy in American history? Because the left was never so powerful. That's why. If you know that everything the left touches, it destroys, you know everything you need to know. Go on, please.
This pandemic, what are we going to do to push Russia back? And instead, he had no time for that. He spent all his time talking about dead traitors.
So that might be dead traitors. You see, that's, that's it. Wait a Wait, wait, wait, they're traitors. That's Lincoln and Washington. Oh, I guess she meant the Confederates. Yes, of course. But he didn't speak about Confederates. So it's just she doubled down on her lie. Next.
Dead traitors.
So that might be true, but George Washington, I don't think anybody would call him a traitor. And there are moves by some to remove statues of him. Is that a good idea?
I think we should listen to everybody. I think we should listen to the argument there. But remember that the president at Mount Rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from Native Americans who had actually been given that land during a treaty. And again, let's talk about the greater context of where we are in our country right now.
Okay, fine, there you go. So she hated the question, obviously, but she won't say no. And he was on stolen land. I already talked about that. He's on— everybody's on stolen land. That's why Columbus is regarded as evil. Okay, this is, this is the story that we're at. That's a senator of the United States. People listening to me right now in Illinois feel as I do about my California senators. So I don't know the— well, I do know the answer. The answer is to fight. You have to fight. You have to help the fighters. America is at stake like it has never been.

Um, well, I'm here in Sacramento, California, the kind of the belly of the beast when it comes to liberal ideology. Um, I'm a black man, a conservative, been conservative all of my adult life, not so much in my youth. Um, but what was interesting is I've been going to the same barbershop for 15 years and, uh, you know, at least in the black community, you know, the barbershop, you talk about just about anything. And every time I go in there, I always get the politics about Bush, about Trump and all of that, right? Except this last weekend I went in to get my haircut. The election comes up and lo and behold, it had to be 7 out of the 10 people who were there were basically saying they were planning on voting for Donald Trump. And, uh, I wanted to share that with you because I think it's an example of This is what happens when the left and the media completely and utterly overplay their hand. They flat out lie and they demonstrate their bias so obviously that, you know, people who are serious about wanting to make a good decision, you know what, they're seeing through it.
And you had never witnessed this at the barbershop before?
I had never witnessed this at this barbershop before. I'm telling you, I thought I had woken up at Bizarro World.
Hey, listen, send me an email because if I'm ever in Sacramento, I'm going there for a haircut.
Okay, I will definitely do that.
I'm not joking. That's exactly what I would do. All right, thank you. Listen, folks, there is hope. Correct. We don't know. President keeps giving speeches like he did at Mount Rushmore. Be a big help. Another black calling, Lynn from Houston. Well, maybe I'll be able to talk to you tomorrow. I really want to. Tim in Eagan, Minnesota says he's been on hydroxychloroquine for years and there's a side effect of gas. It's also saving your life, so It's a price worth paying, I presume. All right, my friends, I want to remind you, if you want to understand the left, my book Still the Best Hope is the best thing I know of.
