The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

Hello, my friends. I'm Dennis Prager. I've always leveled with you. My first commitment to you is truth. My second commitment to you is truth, and so is my third. In 35 years, I don't recall an accusation of ever lying, and if there's ever an incorrect statement, we correct it immediately or the next day. Included in that is that I don't say things to make you feel good. I said that last time I thought the president interrupted too much, which most people believed, and I went through the debate then. But last night, I believe that on substance and even delivery— forgetting delivery— on substance, there was no comparison. If you took the debate last night seriously and still vote for Joseph Biden, what you are doing is voting for an indeterminate time of lockdown in America. You are— the president could not have been clearer. You are voting to destroy the country in the name of saving people's lives. That's what you're doing. It's the old— what is that statement about? Uh, we, uh, we destroyed the village in order to save it. That's exactly what this is about. There is no end no end. We're talking in some cases— what did I just read? So was it Australia will not allow people to go to Europe or something till 2022? I mean, something like that. In April I said it was the greatest mistake in world history, and I was right. The president is right. President knows what a spectacular destructive error it is. The virus— there was a— there's just a report now out. Did you see this report?

Did you—

did you send it to me? You sent it to me actually. Who— where is it from? Is it from Edinburgh? Where is it from? That lockdown has zero impact, or it's a tiny percentage impact. On the virus because there's no such thing as total lockdown. Because there's none.

What are you gonna do for food?

Who's gonna deliver it if you get it by mail? You're gonna lock down delivery people? You're gonna lock down sanitation people? It's absurd. It's not absurd. It's evil. What did I just hear? Gap is closing a third of its stores in the Banana Republic. The, the price paid by society for such things is enormous. It's not just a financial price. Who's going to work in stores if stores don't, don't exist? Who's going to interact? Where's the social interaction going to come if everybody does all their ordering by internet. Gee, you'll have a chance now to not go to a store, not go to work, not go to church, which half of America doesn't do anyway. Where will you go? Right? Where will people interact? That's a really bright future. Everybody could stay at home and have to go to a movie theater. But back to the lockdown, the president was utterly correct. You're gonna destroy the country, Joe. And basically his answer is, that's right. And I'm proud to do so because we can't open up this country till, till the, till the end of the virus. President, uh, has bought the Kool-Aid on, on vaccine, but it is what it is. And I, I don't, I don't defend what I don't believe is worth defending. There's no question a substantial number of Americans will not take the, uh, will not take the vaccine. I've taken every vaccine, my kids have had every vaccine, I'm not taking this vaccine. The answer to this is herd immunity and proper, uh, strengthening of the immune system and proper medication as soon as there are any symptoms, like hydroxychloroquine and zinc and vitamin D. Should be taking vitamin D and zinc now. I'm also taking hydroxychloroquine once a week. Country has deteriorated in front of my eyes beyond what, what could be imaginable. The land of the free and the home of the brave was a wish, and it was true for so much of the time, thanks to the left largely. Neither free nor brave. Where is the school? On Ohio, there's a school teacher. Is it elementary or high school? And outside of Toledo, high school teacher show— you don't want video to show? We don't. It never reported, is it? You have to see what's going on on the left-wing media that a school teacher showed a PragerU video. Oh, the kids were— that kid— oh, that wasn't shown. It was extra credit. I will have a lot to say about this next week because I want to go over the debate. But the school has been just the universal condemnation of the left, beginning with the Huff Post. You're not allowed to show 5 minutes of non-left-wing thought. You hear that? That is the rule from HuffPost, which is also deteriorated. That's the rule. Yahoo, same thing. I mean, it's just across the board. A school will show— oh, the beauty that when they describe it as brainwashing, they have the kids with the lying Howard Zinn book with the lying 1619 New York Times thesis. They drown them in anti-racist propaganda. Anti-racism is inherently beautiful, but it has become distorted by the left. It is a facade for left-wing fascism. And that's not enough. An extracurricular assignment of 5 minutes of conservative thought on the minimum wage is called brainwashing. And I'll tell you why. In a certain sense, PragerU videos do wash the brain from the dirt and the smut that the left wing puts into little kids' brains about what a despicable country this is. 5 minutes, by the way, is about all it takes because there's no intellectual or logical basis to leftism. Liberalism is liberalism, but leftism is vile. As you will see if Biden wins and if they have the Senate, this is, uh, this is the— this is an ushering in of the dark ages in, in America and in much of the West because of the left. There, the idea of beauty, the idea of excellence, the idea of greatness in literature, in art, in history is gone. How do you feel about it, and does it promote social justice? All right, my friends, got that out. Now let us begin here. For reasons that only the good Lord above knows, we begin with clip 2.

220,000 Americans dead. You hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this. Anyone who's responsible for not taking control, in fact, not saying I'm— I take no responsibility initially. Anyone who's responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.

There you go. He's responsible. Yeah, so who's responsible for all the deaths in Belgium and Spain and Italy and France? Who's responsible? I guess the leaders of those countries. And Britain. Is there any leader not responsible? At what number are you not responsible? Is there one person who could seriously say that if half the number of Americans had died He would not say the same thing. 100,000 Americans dead. If you hear nothing else I say tonight, how is he responsible for it? He should have taken control. They want him to be a dictator. We shall continue. I'm Dennis Prager.

But don't voters have a right to know where they do have a right to know where they stand? They'll have a right to know where I stand before they vote.

So you'll come out with a clear position before Election Day?

Yes, depending on how they handle this. But look, what you should do is you got to make sure you vote and vote for a senator who in fact reflects—

people are voting now. I've already voted. He makes that point repeatedly. If George had been a real moderate, he would have pointed out, Mr. President, you, Mr. Vice President, you always say people are already voting. So why don't those people deserve an answer right now? The answer is he doesn't want to answer it because it's radical. He's going to say yes and he's going to fundamentally change the United States. Court packing is an assault on everything. And you just understand the radical left got Joe Biden to sign on to court packing. I don't know if there will be enough senators. We've got to hold the Republican Senate. Against the possibility that Joe Biden wins. I think it's neck and neck. 3 new polls came out this morning which tell you that. They're all North Carolina. In North Carolina, it is a tie between Biden and Trump according to Emerson. In North Carolina, Cal Cunningham is allegedly 1 point ahead of Thom Tillis. I don't believe that after Cal Cunningham cheated on his wife and it has become a national news story and everyone in North Carolina knows about it. I don't believe that. I believe Thom Tillis is going to win. And it shows the governor up 4, uh, the Democratic governor up 4 over the Republican governor. Uh, that is within the margin of error in my view. So North Carolina, dead heat. I think Pennsylvania is a dead heat. I think Wisconsin's a dead heat. I think this is a dead heat presidential election.

Pat is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pat, you're on the Larry Elder Show. Thank you so much for calling.

It seems to me during the Democratic primary there was a lot of talk about not only taxing the wealthy but something called the wealth tax. And it was my understanding that they were taxing the wealth that you had from your savings, from your assets, from your house, that kind of thing.

That's right.

10% a year, every year.

Every year.

Living estate tax that goes every year. And I haven't heard anything about that. Can you tell me what that is and if they are still trying to promote that tax? Because I think seniors with some savings would probably not be happy about that.

Well, you're absolutely right. And certainly that did come up during the campaign. I will tell you this, the lawmakers here in the state of California are absolutely proposing a wealth tax. They want to increase the state income tax from the highest in the nation, 13.3%, to 16%, and they also want to pass a wealth tax. Now, why do I mention what's going on in California? Because every dumb idea that the federal government wants to do has been tried at least twice in California. And so California is considering this. The lawmakers are all Democrats. Democrats occupy two-thirds of both chambers of the legislature here in California, plus they run the governorship. So in the unlikely event that the governor veto vote such a tax, there are enough lawmakers in both chambers to override the veto. So do I believe that if these guys get in charge, it will be something like a wealth tax? I certainly believe that, because they believe—

I mean, if you listen carefully, I just saw you sent me a New York Post article on what the left concentrated on, CNN and MSNBC and so on, the children and the parents issue. Wow. Country's at stake at this time. There's just so much ruin that can take place in a society before it's ruined. And I don't only mean morally and educationally and artistically, I mean economically. Economics has a social and health effect as well. All right, next please. Number 3.

Americans dead between now and the end of the year. If we just wore these masks, the president's own advisors have told him we could save 100,000 lives. And we're in a circumstance where the president thus far and still has no No comprehensive plan. What I would do is make sure we have everyone encouraged to wear a mask all the time. I would make sure we move in the direction of rapid testing, investing in rapid testing. I would make sure that we set up national standards as to how to open up schools and open up businesses so they can be safe and give them the wherewithal, the financial resources to be able to do that.

That's his plan. Right, that's how he'll save all American lives so people— very few will die. Masks. And until when? And the answer is essentially for the foreseeable future. The injury to society by mask wearing is staggering. It ends social interaction on a normal level. Face is everything. That's why I'm so against the veil. It dehumanizes people. You're dehumanized when you wear a mask. Doesn't mean you're a bad person. You're just dehumanized. You are no longer a human. You are eyeballs. Masks, that's what'll do it. No masks in Sweden, how come they're not dying in droves? Plexiglass barriers. How come you can eat on an airplane without a mask, a couple of inches away from people, total strangers, but you can't eat at a restaurant 6, 10 feet away from another table? Why? Because we are in the age of the irrational, that's why. Reason has no place on the left. It's all emotion. Masks. The experts said it. They're filling the middle seats, is that right? Except Delta. Interesting. And people are flying. That's right, you're closer even. There's no restaurant— even before this, you were never that close to a stranger in a restaurant. Except if you sat at the bar and you wanted to meet strangers. Ah, strangers. I'm a stranger lover. I don't get to talk to anybody now. I'm not supposed to be in the elevator for the 30-second ride with more than one other person. You'll die. What are your chances of dying if you're under 70? Well, your chances of not dying are 99.9-something. 99.9-something. And for this, we're destroying the economy. Over 70, it's 95. And if you don't have another condition, it's back close to 99. And if they give people the proper care Like immediately put them on hydroxychloroquine and vitamin D and zinc. That would even be lower then. Masks, that's his plan, folks. Everybody, there'll be a national law on masks everywhere, inside, outside. That's right. Yes, that's right. Yes, I don't know if you should take— why should you take it off at night? Who do you— what if a stranger walks into your bedroom? That's his plan, folks. Basks. Number 4, please. Show number 4, please.

And so, folks, I will take care of this. I will end this. I will make sure we have a plan.

That's it. You'll have a plan. He'll take care of it. Yes, he will take care of it. Joe Biden will take care of it. Number 5, please.

We're about to go into a dark winter, a dark winter, and he has no clear plan, and there's no prospect that there's going to be a vaccine available for the majority of the American people before the middle of next year.

There you go. But he has a plan. Masks. This is really, uh, I'm living in a make-believe world. Had someone made a movie of this, it would have been considered, uh, uh, science fiction. Number 6, please.

Say over soon. I say we're learning to live with it. We have no choice. We can't lock ourselves up in a basement like Joe does. He has the— he has the ability to lock himself up. I don't know. He's obviously made a lot of money someplace, but he has this thing about living in a basement. People can't do that. By the way, I, as the president, couldn't do that. I'd love to put myself in the basement or in a beautiful room in the White House and go away for a year and a half until it disappears. I can't do that.

That's right. He was so eloquent, actually, last night. That's what he's done. That's been his campaign. Hide from the media, except the ones who will say, how are you, Mr. Vice President? What is your plan to win, Mr. Vice President? How can we help you in the media, Mr. Vice President? Are we going to bat enough for you, Mr. Vice President? Have we smeared President Trump enough, Mr. Vice President? We have no choice. That is exactly right. We have to learn to live with it. That is exactly right.

This is Michael Medved at MichaelMedved.com for Town Hall. The appointment of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court counts as a masterstroke and easily one of the best decisions of Donald Trump's presidency. In an election season when liberals and media try to characterize conservatives as old, angry, bigoted, extreme, and lacking in empathy, Judge Barrett displays the opposite characteristics. At age 48, she's youthful, a genial consensus builder, and mother of 7, including a special needs child and 2 adopted kids from Haiti. On a court dominated for decades by Yale and Harvard graduates, she's a breath of Midwestern fresh air, beloved by her students at Notre Dame. Most importantly, she'll give new life to the originalist thinking of her mentor, Justice Antonin Scalia, in stressing what the Constitution actually says, not what judges want it to say. As Americans have been losing faith in public institutions, Judge Barrett can help to restore their confidence. I'm Michael Medved.

It demonstrates that Joe Biden, the Democrat nominee for president— this is not a Hunter Biden scandal. This is a Joe Biden scandal. Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had nothing to do with Hunter's businesses. We now know we have email documented proof that nobody's disputing the authenticity of these emails. Nobody's disputing the authenticity of the documents. That Joe Biden met with Burisma leadership at the behest of his— when he was vice president, when he was vice president of the United States, and then he lied to the American people about it. His campaign doesn't even deny taking a meeting.

We just—

what do they say? What do they say?

They just claim that there was no meeting on his quote-unquote official schedule.

I can tell you, doesn't mean anything.

Doesn't mean anything. I can tell you presidents and vice presidents take scores of meetings that are not on their quote-unquote official schedules every day. We've been able to document at least 3 in the last 24 hours that Biden has taken as Vice President of the United States. In fact, I can tell you because I've met with the current president and vice president of the United States, and those meetings are not on their official schedule.

The last time I met the president, I was in the White House, said I wanted to meet him, and they put me in the Oval Office after a COVID test. I wasn't on the agenda.

We can do this. You can ban chokeholds, you can, but beyond that, you have to teach people how to de-escalate circumstances, de-escalate. So instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg. There's ways You have to do more background checks in terms of whether or not the person coming in passes certain psychological tests.

Yeah, he just lost the entire law enforcement vote in America because anybody who is, is law enforcement, anybody who loves law enforcement like a family member, anybody who is a relative of law enforcement knows how asinine it is to say you shoot somebody charging at you instead of center mass to stop them. You shoot them in the leg. You're right, you clip them, right? Right, Uncle Joe? You slit— you clip them in the— clip them in the ankle. That's what you do when they're coming at you with a.357 Magnum. You shoot them in the— in the— in the— like that. And when you shoot them in the leg, don't shoot them in the femoral artery. Shoot them in, like, in the fleshy part of their ankle. Preferably on the left side where there's a little— maybe you could just get their big toe, right? Right, Mr., Mr., uh, law enforcement expert? He just—

you got to see all the tweets about what a moron the president is, saying that coyotes take people into the country. Call them— they call him a loon. Now he's blaming coyotes? That, that is really— it truly exemplifies much of the left. You would think that they might just like Google, what are coyotes in immigration, before they would actually tweet something. Do you think any of them will then tweet, oh, I made a mistake, sorry? Being on the left means never having to say you're sorry. My oldest columns. All right, my friends. We continue with the debate last night. And number 6.

99.9% of young people recover. 99% of people recover. We have to recover. We can't close up our nation. We have to open our school and we can't close up our nation or you're not going to have a nation.

And of course, the CDC has said young people can get sick with COVID-19 and can pass it. Vice President Biden, I want to talk broadly about strategy.

All right. See, that was a— she was fine generally. I have no issue with her. That's a perfect example. It's not her place. To debate one of the speakers? Did she at any point say, well, wait a minute, the Vice President Biden? No. And it's a stupid comment. It was the only stupid comment she made, but it's so common. Of course, the CDC has said young people can get sick with COVID and can pass it. First of all, getting sick with COVID doesn't mean anything in the vast majority of cases. You could stick with the flu. And they don't pass it. Sweden doesn't have one example of a teacher getting sick from a kid, and they had the schools open the whole time under 16 years of age. But none of this matters. Facts don't matter to the left. That's the, that's the, the revelation you have to have in your life. It's all passion. President was right. The data are right. They don't follow the science. It's one of the great lies. They follow the scientists who agree with them. That's who they follow. And other scientists are to be shut down. That's also important for you to know. Number 8.

God, is he a demagogue. They're all leftists. Yeah, you're learning to die with it. There you go. Was it 3 times more people died of heart, uh, heart conditions? How can we learn to live with, uh, with death from heart failure? How did that happen? This is the one thing, uh, in history that we're not allowed to learn to live with. Isn't that fascinating? Would you apply this to anything else? How many people die of cancer each year? Learning to live with it means that you don't destroy your society as Biden and the Democrats want to do. And why do they want to do it? Because you figure, aren't they harmed? I'll tell you why. Because then people will look to the government to bail them out. That's why. We're here to save you. We will destroy America, and then you will look to us to save America. That's, that's how it works. Not, not charming, is it? Number 9.

Okay, let's talk about your different strategies toward dealing with this. Mr. Vice President, you suggested you would support new shutdowns if scientists recommended it. What do you say to Americans who are fearful that the cost of shutdowns, the impact on the economy, the higher rates of hunger, depression, domestic and substance abuse outweighs the risk of exposure to the virus?

What I would say is I'm going to shut down the virus, not the country.

The, the man says things that are so false. I'm going to shut down the virus, not the country. But in order to shut down the virus, you will shut down the country. It, it, it's just despicable, that response. It's despicable. All righty, everybody. All right, tell me why Relief Factor is so successful in lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked.

This is Owen Strand for TownHall.com. If you're on a college campus today or have a child on campus, there's a solid chance you'll hear this: "All white people are racist." You might hear this too: America is founded on white supremacy. These two sentences are not mere overheated emotion. They express an ideology called critical race theory, or CRT, which argues that race is a social construct made by white people. Just as race was once used to enslave and terrorize, so it is used today to keep America unequal, unfair, and hostile to minorities. The Trump administration just took symbolic and courageous action against CRT. It issued a memo to federal agencies calling for the end of the government's CRT racial sensitivity trainings, terming them divisive anti-American propaganda. Does America have real issues in its past? Yes. Have we made real progress that we must guard carefully? Also yes. The White House has led well here. I'm Owen Strand.

The indoctrination of the American voter has been going on for a very, very long period of time, and we as Republicans, we as believers in liberty, we as conservatives should have pushed back a lot sooner, and we need to push back harder. That's why I made the Uncle Tom movie, because we also have to fight this battle at the cultural level too. Melissa, thank you so much for that. This is a crucial election. I'll tell you why. These guys get in charge— by these guys, I'm talking about Democrats, of course. Assume they take the presidency. Let's assume they take the Senate, retain control of the House. They're going to immediately get rid of the filibuster so that they can pass any budget they want on a simple majority vote. They're going to vote on whether or not to admit Washington, D.C. as a state. That gives them 2 more senators. They're going to vote on whether or not to admit Puerto Rico as a state. That gives them 2 more senators. They're going to push for a commission to study reparations, for crying out loud. They're raise taxes. They're going to repeal the Trump tax cuts, uh, and those tax cuts, 80% of the benefits went through the, the non-top 1%. They're going to push for the legalization of the illegal aliens who are here, amnesty. And believe me, the number of illegal aliens in America is not 11 million. That's a number that they all cite. One study by a professor from Yale, so therefore you know it must be legitimate, puts a number between 20 and 25 million illegal aliens. That would change our voting electorate forever. That's exactly why the Democrats want to do it. Can you imagine if 11 to 20 million illegal aliens turned citizens, turned voters, pulled the lever for the Republican Party? We wouldn't even be having this discussion.

That is the group that gives free legal aid to people like the florist in— was it Colorado? Washington.

He'll make you wear a mask, make the whole country wear masks. That's the Biden plan. New England Journal of Medicine, May 21st, 2020. Universal masking in hospitals in the COVID-19 era. We know that wearing a mask outside healthcare facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to COVID-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic COVID-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes, and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes. The chance of catching COVID-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic. New England Journal of Medicine in July— was it July? May. A mask will not protect providers caring for a patient with active COVID-19 if it is not accompanied by meticulous hand hygiene, eye protection, gloves, and a gown. So should we do that? Should we all engage in eye protection? Yeah, there are people with the— with goggles. If you're married to one, I hope you believe in goggles too. That's all I can say. Otherwise, it's a difficult marriage. And a gown. A mask alone will not prevent healthcare workers with early COVID-19 from contaminating their hands and spreading the virus to patients and colleagues. Focusing on universal masking alone may paradoxically lead to more transmission of COVID-19 if it diverts attention from implementing more fundamental infection control measures. There you go. New England Journal of Medicine. Amelia in Minneapolis, hello.

Hi, um, I'll try to get right to the point, but I'm a freshman in high school and, um, they're forcing us to wear masks and you can't even go in. Um, they have like a distance boarding thing, um, that they've We were only supposed to be out for 2 weeks, like back in March last year, back when I was in 8th grade. And now it's— we're here and we're still in distance. And the other day we had like the orientation to get used to the hybrid type thing when we go back into school, which is only— the place is only in 25% capacity and they separate us all by last names, which is horrible because I can't be with any of my friends. And I just can't handle this whole mask thing. I refuse to, because this thinking of extending this for God knows how long, it's just so inhumane. And looking at all of my— all the people I've known for years, and my friends, and the people that aren't there in this empty high school, that we didn't even get a first day of high school. That's supposed to be the thing that kids get. And, um, that never happened. And I've been yelled at so many times and lectured, and this is just some sick stuff going on. And so I just have no idea what to do. I mean, I don't even know how this is legal.

I don't either. Well, I have faith in your future. It's very, uh, disconcerting when you're 14 And so many adults are fools too, and, and scared. To be a young person and see adults panicked, it's got to be disorienting. Adults are supposed to give reason and stability. Adults by chronology. Are supposed to give those things to young people. To be raised by the scared is unfortunate, and I'm being very, very judicious in the adjectives I am choosing. Well, I suspect Amelia has parents who are not panicked. Follow the science is another fraud of the left. No one has more contempt for science than the left. No one. We follow the science. They follow social justice initiatives. Wasn't the proof this year with all these people in the sciences who said it's fine to demonstrate? Masks, masks, masks, 6 feet apart. But, uh, if you're demonstrating for social justice, then that's a, that's a health benefit. Thousands, thousands of medical people said that. The corruption of the sciences is the greatest in the Western world since the Soviet Union had it with Lysenko. The left has experience in perverting science. In the Soviet Union, the guy who was in charge of science said that there's no such thing as science unless it promotes socialist realism, which was their euphemism for social justice, for leftism. That's what we're living through now. The New York Times and many scientists are the Lysenkos of America. I feel for those who escaped the Soviet Union. You thought you were coming to a very different place.

Turning now to the Charlie Kirk Show.

So we have the New York Post article that I want to get right into. Biden's secret emails. Can you just tell us a little bit of background on how you were able to obtain these emails and build it out for us?

So there, there is this repairman. He repairs computers, specializes in Mac, somewhere in the area where the Bidens live. And about a year and a half ago, Hunter Biden, inebriated, he was somewhat drunk, came in with 3 devices to be repaired. The gentleman recognized him only when he came up very close because he has bad eyesight. And he took the 3 devices and he said one of them is gone and they deconstructed it and got rid of it. He said one of them just needs a keyboard to be attached to it and we can see if we can run it. He said the third one is in bad shape but I think I can save it. Hunter Biden, who then had identified himself, said, well, that's the important one, meaning the one that has to be repaired. So they signed up a form document which required payment, but it also had a very interesting clause in it. It said if you don't reclaim your property within 90 days of the completion of the work, the property is deemed to be abandoned. And under the law, abandoned property becomes the property of the first person who takes it. So the merchant would be the person who took it. So for 70, 80, 90 days, he was trying to reach Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden never responded. 120 days, 130 days, never responded. Then he started hearing things on television and radio about the crimes allegedly committed.

When it happened to Trump and the New York Times, they didn't say a peep. And when it happened to Biden, they pretended suddenly we can't— not only are we not wanting to show this, but we're gonna, we're gonna go out of our way to anytime anybody links to that article, we're not going to allow them to tweet it out. This is gigantic influence peddling. I don't know, I guess my question to you, Kevin, is what do you think is going to happen? Because this is genuinely in our nation unprecedented.

Well, I think it gives you a real clear snapshot of what it looks like without someone in the federal government bureaucracy that is dismantling it and tearing it apart and saying these things are crooked and corrupt. Without that force, this stuff would happen, uh, with, with, uh, with no consequences.

And New York, you look at what's going on in California, you look at Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Democrats, Democrats all, they're shut down so tight and they're dying. They're dying. And he supports all these people. All he talks about is shutdowns. No, we're not going to shut down and we have to open. Open our schools. And it's like, as an example, I have a young son. He also tested positive. By the time I spoke to the doctor the second time, he was fine. It just went away. Young people, I guess it's their immune system.

That's correct. All he does is talk shutdowns. You should vote on that alone. Oh, but oh, I don't like his character. It looks like Sudan will now be making peace with Israel. Do you think all of these Arab countries making peace with Israel would have happened under a Democrat? This president made it clear, hello, we're not making the Palestinian issue the central issue in the Middle East, to which the Arabs said, you're right, Iran is a much bigger threat than Israel. Thank you, good point, well said. Remember the predictions of the Arab world going up in flames over the embassy move? I would say that the lack of soccer in Libya is a greater concern than the Israeli embassy being moved, the American embassy being moved to Jerusalem. Number 13.

To their teachers and families?

I want to open the schools. The transmittal rate to the teachers is very small, but I want to open the schools. We have to open our country. We're not going to have a country.

That's right.

You can't do this.

That's right.

You can't keep this country closed.

That's right.

A massive country with a massive economy. People are losing their jobs. They're committing suicide. There's depression, alcohol, drugs at a level that nobody's ever seen before. There's abuse, tremendous abuse. We have to open our country. You know, I've said it often, the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself. And that's what's happening. And he wants to close down. He'll close down the country if one person in our, in our massive bureaucracy says we should close it down.

Man's a great president. That's correct. On that alone, you should vote. Destroying the country over a virus, nobody would believe it. All right, want to do something good?

Again, it was the people of the United States responding to these huge media platforms. And let's be very clear about, about one thing about these platforms. They are not governed the same way that media outlets are. They're not governed by the same rules that the New York Post or the New York Times are. They are supposed to be neutral pass-throughs. For instance, they're like a phone company. We're not supposed to know what's coming through the individual calls that people make on the phone lines.

But don't voters have a right to know where you stand?

They do have a right to know where I stand. They'll have a right to know where I stand before they vote.

So you'll come out with a clear position before Election Day?

Yes, depending on how they handle this. But look, what you should do is you got to make sure you vote and vote for a senator who in fact reflects—

People are voting now. I've already voted. He makes that point repeatedly. If George had been a real moderate, he would have pointed out, Mr. President, you, Mr. Vice President, you always say people are already voting. So why don't those people deserve an answer right now? The answer is he doesn't want to answer it because it's radical. He's going to say yes and he's going to fundamentally change the United States. Court packing is an assault on everything. And you just understand the radical left got Joe Biden to sign on to court packing. I don't know if there will be enough senators. We've got to hold the Republican Senate. Against the possibility that Joe Biden wins. I think it's neck and neck. 3 new polls came out this morning which tell you that. They're all North Carolina. In North Carolina, it is a tie between Biden and Trump according to Emerson. In North Carolina, Cal Cunningham is allegedly 1 point ahead of Thom Tillis. I don't believe that after Cal Cunningham cheated on his wife and it has become a national news story and everyone in North Carolina knows about it. I don't believe that. I believe Tom Tillis is going to win. And it shows the governor up 4, the Democratic governor up 4 over the Republican governor. That is within the margin of error, in my view. So North Carolina, dead heat. I think Pennsylvania is a dead heat. I think Wisconsin's a dead heat. I think this is a dead heat presidential election.

Pat is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pat, you're on the Larry Elder Show. Thank you so much for calling.

It seems to me during the Democratic primary there was a lot of talk about not only taxing the wealthy but something called the wealth tax, and it was my understanding that they were taxing wealth that you had from your savings, from your assets, from your house, that kind of thing.

That's right.

10% a year, every year, every year, estate tax, it goes every year. And I haven't heard anything about that. Can you tell me what that is and if they are still trying to promote that tax? Because I think seniors with some savings would probably not be happy about that.

Well, you're absolutely right, and certainly that did come up during the campaign. I will tell you this, the lawmakers here in the state of California are absolutely proposing a wealth tax. They want to increase the state income tax from the highest in the nation, 13.3%, to 16%, and they also want to pass a wealth tax. Now, why do I mention what's going on in California? Because every dumb idea that the federal government wants to do has been tried at least twice in California. And so California is considering this. The lawmakers are all Democrats. Democrats occupy two-thirds of both chambers of the legislature here in California, plus they run the governorship. So in the unlikely event that the governor veto vetoed such a tax, there are enough lawmakers in both chambers to override the veto. So do I believe that if these guys get in charge, it will be something like a wealth tax? I certainly believe that, because they believe that rich people don't pay enough. The average Democrat believes rich people don't pay very much in taxes, even though the top 1% pay 39, almost 40% of all the federal income taxes.

This is Michael Medved at michaelmedved.com for Town Hall. The appointment of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court counts as a masterstroke and easily one of the best decisions of Donald Trump's presidency. In an election season when liberals and media try to characterize conservatives as old, angry, bigoted, extreme, and lacking in empathy, Judge Barrett displays the opposite characteristics. At age 48, she's youthful, a genial consensus builder, and mother of 7, including a special special needs child and two adopted kids from Haiti. On a court dominated for decades by Yale and Harvard graduates, she's a breath of Midwestern fresh air, beloved by her students at Notre Dame. Most importantly, she'll give new life to the originalist thinking of her mentor, Justice Antonin Scalia, in stressing what the Constitution actually—

All right, everybody, it's the happy, happy, happy, happy hour. Yes, it is. Pump up the band, I want to hear it well. Yes, yes, yes, yes. No matter what, even after a presidential debate, I still have a happy, happy, happy hour. Those are the original lyrics. It's the happy, happy, happy, happy hour. Yes, indeed, everybody. I'm very tempted to just continue the excerpts from the debate. I have 60 and we've gone through 9. However, it is sort of— it is not a sort of, it's been— well, yes, it is sort of. I can't promise to you that you'll always have a happiness hour, but I will tie it in to the debate and I will remind you that I continue the excerpts from the debate in the third hour of the show following this. So I want to talk to you about what's happening and happiness, specifically the damn despicable, indefensible, medically indefensible, morally indefensible lockdowns. I have to contain my anger because it doesn't do any good to express it in the way I feel it. I can just use words. I won't scream, bang, or curse. I would like to scream, bang, and curse at the fools, the governors, the epidemiologists, and others who have ruined life for so many people for no good reason. So I want to talk to you about the effects of the lockdown and happiness. We have done this periodically over 6 months. We were told that, uh, remember the lie we were told, uh, that, uh, well, we have to have a lockdown because we can't have the hospitals overflowing. And that was a lie. It was a 100% lie. Hospitals were underutilized and they still had a lockdown. The next one was cases, like it means anything. Number of cases means nothing. In fact, the more cases the better, then you have herd immunity. BBC: lockdown made life worse for 2 in 5 children, NHS report says. So this is the BBC, it's on the left. The NHS is on the left, National Health Service in Britain. 2 in 5 children age 11 to 16 feel the coronavirus lockdown has made their lives worse. They said their biggest anxieties were about missing school and family and friends contracting COVID-19. Excellent. The media and parents and teachers have successfully scared a generation. They're worried about dying from COVID Are they worried about dying from a car crash? More likely to. Congratulations, parents. Congratulations, teachers. Congratulations, media. You have truly hurt, hurt, damaged a generation. Mental disorders have risen in boys and girls since 2017 and now affect 16% of children. I don't know what happened in 2017. But it's getting worse, obviously. So what's your take on happiness and the lockdown? Happiness and COVID? Do a report card. We've done this on every other month, so we've done it now 3 times. This is the 3rd time. A report card from you. I'll tell you how I've dealt with it. I'm a fellow citizen of a lockdown state in a lockdown city. I've ignored it from the very beginning. That's what I've done. I knew that they were a fraud, these regulations, from the beginning. I said it, I wrote it, I backed it up. I was right. I was mocked. I'm always mocked. And my batting average is pretty near 1,000. Because I pursue freedom and truth. Truth first, freedom second. They don't. And I don't walk around scared. It's one of the night— one of the benefits of my attitude towards life. I don't walk around scared. I have gone to friends' homes every week since the lockdown, since, since March. I have virtually not missed a Friday night Shabbat dinner with friends. Haven't missed one. Gather together, no masks, enjoying each other's company. I probably will live longer thanks to not obeying these despicable, irrational, anti-science, anti-human regulations. People wearing masks in their cars, however. There are people who haven't left their house. For how long won't you leave your house? A year? Two years? Why not two years? Is quality of life important, or is only absolute certitude as to length of life Length of life is LOL. Maybe that's what LOL stands for. Not laugh out loud. Length of life. Yes. Allow me to live scared for a long time. It's not the route to happiness. So I have this nature to say screw you to people who tell me what to do who are irrational. I totally obey laws that are rational. I'm going to obey Gavin Newsom? The man is a moron. I am going to allow a moron to tell me how to live my life? It's the antithesis of happiness. If you listen to Gavin Newsom, you are a less happy person than me. This is the Happiness Hour, so I'm just talking about happiness. 1-8-Prager-776. How have you dealt with that happiness? Are you depressed? You have relatives, friends who are depressed, who won't leave the house. What do their kids do? How do you— how would you like to be a kid growing up with scared parents? That's fun. That, that's really, uh, that's— you know, kids need security more than love. You could tell them you love them all day long, but if you don't give them security, they're screwed.

Get it?

They're mentally screwed with. They want security. Scared parents is insecurity. You are making unhappy children. They'll grow up and they'll look back and go, yeah, my parents, they were scared. Virtually no kid dies of this. Far more kids die of the flu than of COVID But the parents are scared and the teachers are scared and the teachers unions are despicable. This is not a happiness help. Happy is to live life to its fullest. That's happy. The draconian, despicable rules of, of having people who did have COVID and dying and they can't have a loved one come in— you understand the cruelty that the scared have created and the medical profession has created? The medical profession has disgraced itself. Not every doctor, there are magnificent doctors. Some of them are heroes. As a profession, it's a disgrace. Like all the professions. The legal profession, the teaching profession, they're disgraces. They're all dark. Probably the angriest happiness hour I've ever had since 1999. I want you to be a happy human being. Scared people aren't happy, and they make the people around them unhappy. Like the BBC report on the effect on kids. Like the 14-year-old who called me up last hour from Minneapolis. I haven't listened to a thing. I have lived as normal a life as possible. I can't get into a restaurant in Los Angeles between two nothings named Eric Garcetti and Gavin Newsom who know nothing but accept how to control people's lives and think they're doing good. Everybody who does bad thinks they're doing good. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, how can I do bad? These are nothings. We are governed by nothings. And people live by it. I don't understand why there isn't more protest. It is, it is, uh, it is a puzzle to me that people take this. But you want to be happy? You say no to these laws in your life. You live as normal a life as possible. Yep, you do. I, I began reading to you a column in The Tablet, which is probably one of the biggest Jewish online sites. Very thoughtful article about, you know, the contempt for the ultra-Orthodox in the New York area. But he made the case, these are the only people who are saying, you know what, we want to live life. These people who live, many in an apartment, want to get out of their apartment. 1-800-DENNIS-PRAGER, 776, the Happiness Hour.

Here was what the president pointed out. He wants any— this is the facts. This is the fact. Democrats are blocking the last relief package that Republicans put on the table and had the backing of the White House over a month ago. Democrats filibustered any discussion on an eventual passage of a $300 billion package, $1,200 to, to desperate Americans. $400 a week unemployment. President broke it down last night beautifully.

The problem you have is Nancy Pelosi. She couldn't care less about the worker. She couldn't care less about our people. And we should have a stimulus, and I want a stimulus. The Republicans will approve a stimulus. The problem is she doesn't want to do it because she thinks it's bad for her election. The fact is she's wrong because people know she's in our way. She's not approving it. She doesn't appreciate our people, and she doesn't appreciate at all our workers. Nancy Pelosi, we are ready to sign and pass stimulus, but she's got to—

And of course, right away you could hear the minor bird interrupting him. That's not a shock. I told one of my kids last night, he said, Dad, Savannah Guthrie's terrible. Well, that's not a shock.

And I began with an angry diatribe at the despicable, indefensible, immoral, destructive of happiness and quality of life lockdowns taking place. A scared populace— scared people are not happy people. That's the subject of the happiness hour. Happiness. So let me make it clear. Now you may say, oh, it's, it's good to be scared. It's totally rational to be scared. It's completely irrational to be scared. If you're 80, have diabetes, a heart condition, uh, and, uh, all sorts of other conditions, uh, then you, even you, have a minimal chance of dying, but it's a much greater chance than a 50-year-old. Scaring kids, the damage done to their happiness. They can't relate to other kids. Many parents won't have— won't even allow them to play with other kids. By the way, I, I'll bet you the well-educated are more scared than those who never went to college. That'd be fascinating if we could have a scientific poll How scared are you of your kids getting the virus and dying from it? But you're the better educated, because you're a fool when you go to college unless you learn not to be a fool. Fools make you fools. That's the way— well, I'll bet you, I'll bet you that if you have a postgraduate degree, I'll bet you're even more scared. Yes, indeed. So how, how have you maintained your happiness in this period, if you have indeed? All right, let's take your calls. Here's somebody who has a dissenting view. I think we go to him immediately. Tim in Minneapolis, hello.

Hello, Dennis, how are you today?

Good, thank you.

Is it an honor? It is an honor to be on your show.

Thank you again.

I think, using your logic, I'm choosing to be happy despite my situation. I'm choosing to be happy. I lost my job 2 weeks ago because of this.

I wear a mask.

I'm on my way to a funeral. But my happiness is not dependent on my circumstances. My happiness is dependent on my attitude.

You're right.

I'm choosing to be respectful. I'm choosing to be respectful and kind and loving to those that have a differing opinion than I do. That's how I monitor my own happiness.

I bless you.

Because I choose to exist out of kindness and respect.

I bless everything you said. I don't have any— I don't know if we differ. Look, the whole point of the Happiness Hour is that despite life's obstacles, you have to work through it and work work to be happy. This man, I salute you, sir. However, I am still angry at the fact that people can't have funerals with more than 10 people or whatever the laws are in any given place. He's going to a funeral. It's— I, I am not wanting you to be unhappy. I am wanting you to be independent. I'm talking to you collectively, not to my last caller. The point of the Happiness Hour is to work toward happiness. And if the society does things after things that are irrational to hurt your happiness, I want you not to live by them. If you can live by them and still be happy, I salute you. Last thing I want you to do is be unhappy. I would like you to be angry. I'm angry and happy. I don't walk around in an angered state, but I am intellectually angry at the ruined lives for no good reason, at what is happening to childhood in this country because so many teachers are cowards, and because most teachers unions are just simply corrupt. This should be a time, if nothing else, of clarity, and clarity should lead to happiness. Certainly helps me. All right, let's go to Cassandra in good old Freeland, Pennsylvania. How you doing?

I'm doing well, and yourself, Dennis?

Thank you so much.

Well, so, um, I was a teacher in Massachusetts, and back in March when the lockdown started, you know, planning on getting married in June, thought that there's no way COVID is going to be affecting my wedding. And of course, originally we were supposed to have almost 300 people, and And then as the months went down, it was looking pretty grim, but my fiancé at the time, I was in Massachusetts and he was living in Pennsylvania. And even in spite of all of the different lockdowns, and of course there was fear in the beginning, but we just decided to choose getting married, starting our lives together. We still drive back and forth visiting each other. And we decided, you know what, if we're not gonna get married on our original wedding date, We're going to find a way to get married sooner. And we, you know, we ended up having to have a much smaller wedding. We still were able to have like 80 people in Massachusetts back in June, but we did it. And I tell you, this is the first event that so many people had attended in months of people. And of course it rained the entire time. I mean, there are so many things that went wrong, but you know, we got married.

It rained the entire time.

It was an outdoor wedding.

Oh, of course it was an outdoor wedding.

Yeah.

You couldn't have an indoor wedding, right?

Yeah, well, we were still able to get— yeah, we were still able to get married in our church, but the reception was outdoors and it wasn't supposed to rain. And there were actually, you know, people who had lived in the area where it was raining that day. It wasn't raining in that, like, the particular area of the town, but in our day, like, it was drenched. Like, people were setting up tents, rain everywhere, but we laughed, we had a live— my brother's live band played, and we— it was just such a joy. No one wore masks. We were joyful. We celebrated our marriage, family, And I had so many people after that telling me, like, Cassandra, you have no idea how much that meant to us. You know, to celebrate our faith, our family, all these things that have just been lost and thrown away. And it was just such joy. I want to encourage anyone who's in a similar predicament, you know, thinking about postponing their wedding or doing this or that, just if you can— I know in some states it's kind of impossible, but if you can find a way, do it. Don't wait.

Don't wait.

Just get married. You are special. Things that matter.

Where, where is Freeland?

Um, it is, it's a mountain. It's north of like Pennsylvania, uh, of Hazleton, Pennsylvania. It's the, uh, I learned recently because I just moved here about 4 months ago, it's, uh, the tallest peak in Northeast Pennsylvania. I think it's like about 2,000 feet above sea level. But it's a little town, little coal town.

Well, I wish you, I wish you much happiness, and I believe you will have much thanks to your wonderful wonderful, blessed attitude. That was a very important call. The happiness that she provided the people who attended. Folks, you know, happiness extends life. I would say that between happiness and masks with unhappiness, I'll take no mask and happiness.

We can do this. You can ban chokeholds, you can— but beyond that, you have to teach people how to de-escalate circumstances. De-escalate. So instead of anybody coming at you, and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg. There's ways you have to do more background checks in terms of whether or not the person coming in passes certain psychological tests.

Yeah, he just lost the entire law enforcement vote in America because anybody who is, is law enforcement, anybody who loves law enforcement like a family member, anybody who is a relative of law enforcement knows how asinine it is to say you shoot somebody charging at you instead of center mass to stop them. You shoot them in the leg. You're right, you clip them, right? Right, Uncle Joe? You slit— you clip them in the— clip them in the— in the ankle. That's what you do when they're coming at you with a.357 Magnum. You shoot them in the—

in the—

in the— like that. And when you shoot them in the leg Don't shoot them in the femoral artery.

Would you explain to people why it is ominous, though not illegal, what Twitter and Facebook did?

The New York Post broke a story about emails discovered that indicate that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, set up a meeting with his father when his father was vice president and the officers from Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that was paying Hunter Biden millions of dollars. Throughout all of impeachment, Joe Biden insisted he didn't know anything about Burisma. He wasn't involved. He didn't know what his son was doing. And so if, if these— if this story is right, it means Joe Biden was lying, that he was, he was very involved. And, and what he told the press and told everyone else was a flat-out lie. I don't know if the New York Post story is right or not. It seems to me that it raises some, some real questions that need to be answered. But what Twitter and Facebook did is they decided they didn't want anyone talking about it, so they banned anyone from linking to the story. So if you sent out a tweet that linked to the story and someone tried to click on the link, it came up with it with a page instead that, that blocked you from the site and said this site contains dangerous information. Which I guess it was dangerous for Joe Biden's political fortunes, but, but it was absurd. And they even took it a step further. The New York Post themselves were sending out tweets with, with their own story, as media outlets do. They blocked the New York Post. They prevented the New York Post from posting. The New York Post has the fourth highest circulation newspaper in the country.

Said Kayleigh McEnany is Yes, indeed.

This is your favorite promo code, Dennis Prager, or one of your favorite. I'll be— I'm okay with that. I truly am. Happiness Hour and the lockdown and the the unhappiness that it is gratuitously causing. It is both a blessing and a curse how much one's nature affects one's life. You know, on the great question of what is more powerful, nature or nurture, My answer has been for years, nature is 100% and nurture is 100%. That's how I view it. You're born with a nature. I was born with a nature. I wanted to be happy. I did whatever I could to pursue happiness. Not pleasure. I love pleasure, but that's not— my life is not devoted to the pursuit of pleasure. It is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as the giants who wrote the Declaration of Independence put it. I like that. The pursuit of happiness. So I will not allow fools to deprive me of my happiness. And I have been with people Every week and every day since the lockdown, I have led as normal a life as possible. Got on airplanes. I spoke at a rally. I hugged 40 people or so at a rally in— was it April? At City Hall in Los Angeles. Hugged complete strangers. Maskless. So you'll say, wow, that's really bad, but I thought all the medical professionals came out— not all, but thousands— said it's okay to demonstrate in the tens of thousands for social justice. So that's a health benefit. Why isn't it a health benefit to demonstrate for liberty? All right, let's see how you've dealt with it. That's the, that's the question here. Anyway, I'm telling you that, uh, my worry is about kids. Scared parents don't make happy kids. That's a good bumper sticker. Scared parents. Want to get that one? That's a good one. Scared parents don't make happy children. Parents are so concerned about their children's happiness. What do you think your irrational fears are doing? All right, let's see here. Orlando, Florida. Richard, hello.

Hey Dennis, how you doing today?

Okay, thanks.

All right, try to be as quick as I can. First time call, been trying to reach you for a long time. Um, it's very motivational. Uh, real quick, I'm 48, I have 3 kids and one, one godchild, uh, one goddaughter. Um, the first week when the COVID came out, it was, you know, you're trying to keep the positive attitude as a parent, um, but you don't, you don't know, you don't know the outcome, you don't know the, you know, long-term effect. And so the kids start to, like you say, they start to see your attitude and then it affects them. Um, then after that first week listening to you, that nothing in my life has changed. I go out 1, 2 times a week, I go eat locally, I go to a sports bar. I don't watch sports no more, but I won't turn it on at the house to boost any ratings. But then my kids became happier, like immediately. So they go and play with their friends. They go— yeah, they go ahead because they see it in a week. My dad, active guy, and all of a sudden he sits home all day and has his head down. So nothing's really changed. One thing that's changed is some of their friends that have been, you know, sheltered by their parents. And now we're seeing them 6, 7, 8 months later, these 16-year-old kids put on 20 pounds of fat. Um, you know, they're all out of shape, they're all unhappy. They see their parents, you know, stayed in the house 24 hours a day, um, and then they get sheltered. So definitely the effects of your positive attitude is going to go ahead and trickle down to your kids.

I love it.

You are You are perfect.

Oh, that call was perfect. And by the way, I must— I will tell you, I want to touch people's lives. That is the purpose of my life. I felt it in college— excuse me, high school. I wrote it in my diary in high school. I have no interest in having power over people. I do want to influence people. I'm not on the left. I have no interest in having power over you, and I don't want people to have power over me. God has power over me, my parents did, my teachers did, but that's it. We'll be back.

This is Michael Medved at michaelmedved.com. For Town Hall. The appointment of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court counts as a masterstroke and easily one of the best decisions of Donald Trump's presidency. In an election season when liberals and media try to characterize conservatives as old, angry, bigoted, extreme, and lacking in empathy, Judge Barrett displays the opposite characteristics. At age 48, she's youthful, a genial consensus builder, and mother of 7, including a special a special needs child, and two adopted kids from Haiti. On a court dominated for decades by Yale and Harvard graduates, she's a breath of Midwestern fresh air, beloved by her students at Notre Dame. Most importantly, she'll give new life to the originalist thinking of her mentor, Justice Antonin Scalia, in stressing what the Constitution actually says, not what judges want it to say. As Americans have been losing faith in public institutions, Judge Barrett can help to restore their confidence. I'm Michael Medved.

It demonstrates that Joe Biden, the Democrat nominee for president— this is not a Hunter Biden scandal. This is a Joe Biden scandal. Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had nothing to do with Hunter's businesses. We now know we have email documented proof that nobody's disputing the authenticity of these emails. Nobody's disputing the authenticity of the documents that Joe Biden met with Burisma leadership at the behest of his son when he was vice president, when he was vice president of the United States. And then he lied to the American people about it. His campaign doesn't even deny taking a meeting.

They just—

what do they say?

What do they say? They just claim that there was no meeting on his quote unquote official schedule. I can tell you—

doesn't mean anything.

Doesn't mean anything. I can tell you presidents and vice presidents take scores of meetings that are not on their quote unquote official schedules every day. We've been able to document at least 3 in the last 24 hours that Biden has taken as Vice President of the United States. In fact, I can tell you because I've met with the current President and Vice President of the United States, and those meetings are not on their official schedule.

The last time I met the President, I was in the White House, said I wanted to meet him, and they put me in the Oval Office after a COVID test. I wasn't on the agenda.

Right, exactly.

Like, including what police officers he thinks should do when their life is in jeopardy and a dangerous bad guy, a dangerous person armed, is charging a police officer Sheriff Joe knows how to handle that.

We can do this. You can ban chokeholds. You can— but beyond that, you have to teach people how to de-escalate circumstances. De-escalate. So instead of anybody coming at you, the first thing you do is shoot to kill. You shoot them in the leg. There's ways you have to do more background checks in terms of whether or not the person coming in passes certain psychological tests.

Yeah, he just lost the entire law enforcement vote in America because anybody who is law enforcement, anybody who loves law enforcement like a family member, anybody who is a relative of law enforcement knows how asinine it is to say you shoot somebody charging at you instead of center mass to stop them. You shoot them in the leg. You're right, you clip them, right? Right, Uncle Joe? You slit— you clip them in the— clip them in the, in the ankle. That's what you do when they're coming at you with a.357 Magnum. You shoot them in the, in the, in the—

And I'm particularly worried about the happiness of children, even indeed the mental health. So how have you dealt with it in this case? And I want to repeat what I said the last segment. Scared parents do not produce happy children. How did I put it last hour? Do you have it there? About scared parents? You didn't mark it down? All right, but anyway, that's the gist of it. Scared parents produce unhappy children. Children need security more than they need love. I'd rather have a parent who doesn't tell their kid all the time they love them, but who provides security, than a parent who tells their kid, uh, I love you all the time and conveys fear. Kids fear fear. That's the scariest thing. That's why they have nightmares when they're young. And what? Oh, that's right, I forgot that. Yes, just think about what would have been done to kids by the left in this country. COVID fear— you'll die from COVID if you, if you take your mask off, and you'll die in any event because of global warming. Left ruins everything it touches, including children. Uh, let's go to, uh, Alex in, uh, Flanders, New Jersey. Hello, Alex.

Hey, Dennis, good afternoon. Um, yeah, I love your show. It's a long time. Love you, love the show.

Thank you.

I saw, I saw you and Adam Carolla in Philadelphia in 2013, and I loved it back then. So just—

yes, well, we look forward to resuming going around. I just had dinner and talked about it. Go ahead.

Um, so I wanted to share, um, the contrast with my son and his friend. Um, my son, um, his friend graduated from college last year, so they're both around 23. My son has been a volunteer fire department since— with the volunteer fire department since he was, um, 16. So, and he's been with a few different fire departments. He was out in Pittsburgh And he's living now in Delaware. He moved out of the house and, um, he's seen life. He's seen more at 23 than a lot of people see, you know, in their forties and fifties. Cause he's seen death. He's dealt with death. He's dealt with house fires. He deals with people all the time. So he's, he takes life on and his friend has been living inside his home and scared of the virus for the past 6 months. And, and there's real, conflict there. And my friend, his friend actually is, I think he was, um, uh, at school, you know, he's really, he called my son a racist and he says, you know, I believe Black Lives Matter. And it's become really, um, really become, he's, he's become an angry person and a scared person. So, um, you know, my son, my son says, you know what, I show up to a fire, I show up to an accident and I don't look at the race of the person. I just have to help who's there. That's, that's the position.

Well, according to, to your friend, your son's friend, that's racist. Not to look at the skin color, but just to see the humanity is now considered racist by the left, right? Colorblind is considered racist. This is, this is what they're taught. And many of you have to attend these brainwash sessions. At your place of work where nobody speaks up and says, you know what, you're lying to us. You're being paid a lot of money to spread lies about America. But I don't blame people for not speaking up. I would, but I don't blame people for not I am prepared to be ostracized. Okay, I march to the beat of a higher drummer. But I know that that's not true for most people, and so I don't make demands of people that I know will not be met. But at least know inside you are being lied to. Colorblind is the moral ideal. God has no color. Adam had no color. Color means nothing. Nothing. Okay, skin color is as important as shoe color. That's what liberalism taught me. But liberals are wimps, so they've given in to the left that teaches skin color is really important, just like the Ku Klux Klan believes. All righty, let's see here. Matthew in Powdersville, South Carolina. Hi.

Hi, Dennis, uh, it's a long time listener, first time caller. It's wonderful to be speaking with you today.

Thank you so much.

And I just wanted to give you a little bit of a story. My wife and I have been married, we celebrated our third anniversary registry this year. We have a 2-year-old daughter, and when this whole pandemic started, you know, we were, we're pretty new to this whole parenting thing, so we were a little cautious, a little scared because of the uncertainty. But as it kept going and we started learning more and more about this pandemic, I started realizing that my 2-year-old would wake up every morning with the same exact excitement every single day. And because of her and because of everything else that we know now, it has helped my wife and I to just be more positive about this and tell ourselves we can't take the world away from our daughter and not let her live it just because of some pandemic.

Yes, your daughter is lucky.

I'm not interested because that's what they want you to do. They want you to switch off so you believe the surface garbage, the prostitutes.

And what you think you remember. Most people, there's so much. So I think what it's, and I mean, it's, I think it's a really exciting movie. I think a lot of people have said, wow, I didn't realize how fun and exciting and kind of inspiring it would be to watch, considering you're like, well, I know this story, but actually you don't. You don't know.

So what is the story? People need to watch it. Well, tell them how they can watch it. It's The Plot Against the President, but in the Washington style of the elevator pitch. And you made this movie, but if you had to sell it in Hollywood, what is the two-sentence pitch of the plot against the president. What happened?

Well, I mean, I'd say it was an absolutely organized coup against an administration that—

by who? The—

by the intelligence agencies, by overreaching law enforcement agencies like the FBI, and by the Democrat— the Democrat— the DNC and the Hillary campaign, in addition to the Obama administration. I mean, I think we do it pretty well a pretty good job of showing how all of those things are connected.

All the agencies, the White House, Brennan, Comey, the NSA.

And they— and the real— I think one of the better points that was made is that you don't really understand the real danger and implications of what happened. It's like people are like, oh, Russiagate. Yeah, it turned out not to be true. And that was really annoying that we had to go through that. But actually, it's really dangerous.

This is Owen Strand for Townhall.com. If you're on a college campus today or have a child on campus, there's a solid chance you'll hear this: "All white people are racist." You might hear this too: "America is founded on white supremacy." These two sentences are not mere overheated emotion. They express an ideology called Critical Race Theory, or CRT, which argues that race is a social construct made by white people.

People.

Just as race was once used to enslave and terrorize, so it is used today to keep America unequal, unfair, and hostile to minorities. The Trump administration just took symbolic and courageous action against CRT. It issued a memo to federal agencies calling for the end of the government's CRT racial sensitivity trainings, terming them divisive anti-American propaganda. Does America have real issues in its past? Yes. Have we made real progress that we must guard carefully? Ultimately, also yes. The White House has led well here. I'm Owen Strayer.

The indoctrination of the American voter has been going on for a very, very Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here.

You know, this is such an important Happiness Hour, and, and the caller who said that I changed him the first week, that confirmed to me how important it is. This, uh, the, the fear making people miserable, the irrational fear, utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly irrational. Most believed by the well-educated. I, when I say that college makes you a fool, I never exaggerate. A handful of people do not graduate more foolish than they entered, but it's a small group. Those with very strong convictions and those who are inebriated for 4 years are the only ones who escape it. And if you have a graduate degree, You're probably the most afraid and most irrational in the country. And what you're doing to your kids with your fears, when what they need is security 10 times more than love. Because we're a stupid generation produced by the well-educated. Just have to love your kids, that's the solution to upbringing. No, it's not true. Get well-loved fools and well-loved barbarians if you don't give them self-control God, let's get our kids scared. Don't, don't, don't, don't visit Johnny's house. Oh no, no, no. Meanwhile, we have almost no instance of child death in this country. By child, I mean even under 20, and it's exceedingly rare under 70. Exceedingly. 99.9-something percent survive. But follow the science. Never, never— there's no bigger lie told in this country by the well-educated. So you keep scaring your kids. That's, that's a great way to raise them. The, the mental effects, the, the health effects on, on physical health too, believe me. April in Phoenix works hard to maintain normalcy for their— your 6 kids. God bless you. That's what you got to work at, maintain normalcy. Jill, Weston, Oregon encourages kids to play on her farm and ride their pony. Well, lucky kids. Dawn in Morocco, Indiana.

But don't voters have a right to know where you—

They do have a right to know where I stand. They'll have a right to know where I stand before they vote.

So you'll come out with a clear position before Election Day?

Yes, depending on how they handle this. But look, what you should do is you got to make sure you vote and vote for a senator who in fact—

He didn't answer it. People are voting now. I've already voted. He makes that point repeatedly. If George had been a real moderate, he would have pointed out, Mr. President, you have— Mr. Vice President, you always say people are already voting. So why don't those people deserve an answer right now? The answer is he doesn't want to answer it because it's radical. He's going to say yes and he's going to fundamentally change the United States. Court packing is an assault on everything. And you just understand the radical left got Joe Biden to sign on to court packing. I don't know if there will be enough senators. We've got to hold the Republican Senate. Against the possibility that Joe Biden wins. I think it's neck and neck. 3 new polls came out this morning which tell you that. They're all North Carolina. In North Carolina, it is a tie between Biden and Trump according to Emerson. In North Carolina, Cal Cunningham is allegedly 1 point ahead of Tom Tillis. I don't believe that after Cal Cunningham cheated on his wife and it has become a national news story and everyone in North Carolina knows about it. I don't believe that. I believe Tom Tillis is going to win, and it shows the governor up 4, the Democratic governor up 4 over the Republican governor. That is within the margin of error in my view. So North Carolina, dead heat. I think Pennsylvania is a dead heat. I think Wisconsin's a dead heat. I think this is a dead heat presidential election.

Pat is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pat, you're on the Larry Elder Show. Thank you so much for calling.

It seems to me during the Democratic primary there was a lot of talk about not only taxing the wealthy but something called the wealth tax, and it was my understanding that they were taxing taking the wealth that you had from your savings, from your assets, from your house, that kind of thing.

That's right.

10% a year, at every year, every year, estate tax that goes every year. And I haven't heard anything about that. Can you tell me what that is and if they are still trying to promote that tax? Because I think us seniors with some savings would probably not be happy about that.

Well, you're absolutely right, uh, and certainly that did come up during the campaign. I will tell you this, the lawmakers here in the state of California are absolutely proposing a wealth tax. They want to increase the state income tax from the highest in the nation, 13.3%, to 16%, and they also want to pass a wealth tax. Now, why do I mention what's going on in California? Because every dumb idea that the federal government wants to do has been tried at least twice in California. And so California is considering this. The lawmakers are all Democrats. Democrats occupy two-thirds of both chambers. Of the legislature here in California, plus they run the governorship. So in the unlikely event that the governor vetoed such a tax, there are enough lawmakers in both chambers to override the veto. So do I believe that if these guys get in charge, it will be something like a wealth tax? I certainly believe that, because they believe that rich people don't pay enough. The average Democrat believes rich people don't pay very much in taxes, even though the top 1% pay 39, almost 40% of all the federal income taxes.

Uh, okay, let's go with that 19, please.

There has been nobody tougher to Russia with between the sanctions. Nobody tougher than me on Russia between the sanctions, between all of what I've done with NATO. You know, I've got the NATO countries to put up an extra $130 billion, going to $420 billion $1.5 billion a year. That's to guard against Russia. I sold— while he was selling pillows and sheets, I sold tank busters to Ukraine. There has been nobody tougher on Russia than Donald Trump.

It's so true that, you know, he coddles up to Putin is another monstrous left-wing lie. It's gigantic. It's Orwellian in how big it is. That's what they did. He's exactly right. They gave him pillows and sheets and food. They gave him meals. That's what they gave Ukraine. He gave him weapons, tank busters, and he strengthened NATO. Oh, he's weakening our NATO allies. Yeah, because he's demanding that they pay what they promised they would pay, where the wimps of the left would never do that. It's so, it's so, it's so perfect They're obsequious to the powerful, and they're, uh, they're powerful in suppressing the decent. Okay, now let's get, uh, lie— another lie from Joe Biden, number 20.

I have not I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life.

Next slide, 21.

I have not taken a single penny from any country whatsoever, ever. Number one.

Yeah. It's amazing. Out of curiosity, even putting aside foreign countries, How did he get rich? We know how, we know how Donald Trump got rich. How did Joe Biden get rich? How did everybody in his family get rich? His siblings, his kids, his wife. How did they all get rich? Because he's a crook. He's corrupt. He's much more corrupt than Donald Trump. There's no character comparison. Trump's a giant compared to Biden. Make-believe world of the media.

Number 23: I was put through a phony witch hunt for 3 years. It started before I even got elected. They spied on my campaign. No president should ever have to go through what I went went through. Let me just say this. Mueller and 18 angry Democrats and FBI agents all over the place spent $48 million. They went through everything I had, including my tax returns, and they found absolutely no collusion and nothing wrong. $48 million. I guarantee you, if I spent $1 million on you, Joe, I could find plenty wrong because the kind of things Oh God.

Uh, the man actually tells more truths than the New York Times does. There's, there's no comparison, actually. I know, I know. 3,000 lies the Washington Post has documented. How, how many can you name? Any of you?

30,000.

Oh, 30,000? Yeah, 30,000 lies. They got a Well, look, I gotta check that list. That's fascinating. Even within the list, how many were significant? Even if you buy that stuff, how many were significant as if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.

All right, gentlemen, let me just ask some questions about all of this, Brian. Broadly. Vice President Biden, there have been questions about the work your son has done in China and for a Ukrainian energy company when you were vice president. In retrospect, was anything about those relationships inappropriate or unethical?

Nothing was unethical.

Wow.

Wow.

I heard it. I read it. I watched it. And now I heard it again, and it takes your breath away. But you're going to vote for him, some of you, a lot of you, you Americans, my fellow Americans. Number 26.

I closed it before I even ran for president, let alone became president. Big difference. He is the Vice President of the United States, and his son, his brother, and his other brother are getting rich. They're like a vacuum cleaner. They're sucking up money.

He was good. I— he, he, he— the truths that came out of his mouth. I'm telling you though, you should vote on lockdown alone. This country is going to be ruined by Biden and the Democrats. Ruined for truly the foreseeable future. It, it, it— and I'll tell you another thing, another way it'll be ruined: the, the inflation that is inevitable. It's why the commodities are getting, uh, more expensive. People understand that's where they want to invest. The dollar may cease to be the, uh, the currency of the the world. It'll be so cheap. We're just printing trillions, trillions, printing like, like you could do with your, uh, color printer at home. That's what— that's what they're doing in Washington. You know where inflation led to in Germany in the '30s, in the late '20s? Inflation. I predicted this. I wrote this in April. The reason I tell you that I've said these things earlier is not to brag. It is to give you my batting average on these matters. I have much more credibility than the New York Times. I mean, there's no comparison. That's why. Number 27.

Our response is, look, this isn't about— there's a reason why he's bringing up all this malarkey.

It's malarkey.

There's a reason for it. He doesn't want to talk about the, the substantive issues. It's not about his family and my family. It's about your family. And your family's hurting badly. If you're making less than— if you're a middle-class family, you're getting hurt badly right now. You're sitting at the kitchen table this morning deciding, well, we can't get new tires, they're bald, because we have to wait another month or so.

See, it's malarkey. So here's the beauty. The Democrats want to ruin your life and then they want to talk about your ruined life. Get it? That's what they do. We will shut you down so you can't work. This is Newsom, Garcetti, governor of Michigan, and it's, you know, it's wherever, or almost wherever Democrats rule. And then if they rule nationally, oh, you poor middle class whom we have ruined. Sitting around the kitchen table, not even knowing why your life is ruined because you voted Democrat. We shall return in a moment. 1-800-PRAGER-776. To Sean's amazement, we got through a lot of quotes from the two people in the debate last night. I have a lot to say. You need to hear all of these things. We continue on The Dennis Prager Show.

Here was what the president pointed out. He wants any. This is the facts. This is the fact. Democrats are blocking the last relief package that Republicans put on the table and had the backing of the White House over a month ago. Democrats filibustered any discussion on an eventual passage of a $300 billion package, $1,200 to, to desperate Americans, $400 a week unemployment. President broke it down last night beautifully.

The problem you have is Nancy Pelosi. She couldn't care less about the worker. She couldn't care less about our people. And we should have a stimulus, and I want a stimulus. The Republicans will approve a stimulus. The problem is she doesn't want to do it because she thinks it's bad for her election. The fact is she's wrong because people know she's in our way. She's not approving it. She doesn't approve appreciate our people, and she doesn't appreciate at all our workers. Nancy Pelosi, we are ready to sign and pass stimulus, but she's got to—

And of course, right away you could hear the minor bird interrupting him. That's not a shock. I told one of my kids last night, I said, Dad, Savannah Guthrie's terrible. Well, that's not a shock. You thought she was going to do a good job and be fair? You thought an NBC Today Show host would be fair to President Trump? Don't let— don't be distracted by that. Focus on his answers.

So we have the New York Post article that I want to get right into. Biden's secret emails. Can you just tell us a little bit of background on how you were able to obtain these emails and build it out for us.

So there, there is this repairman. He repairs computers, specializes in Mac, somewhere in the area where the Bidens live. And about a year and a half ago, Hunter Biden, inebriated— he was somewhat drunk— came in with 3 devices to be repaired. The gentleman recognized him only when he came up very close because he has bad eyesight. And he took the 3 devices and he said, one of them is gone. And they deconstructed it and got rid of it. He said, one of them just needs a keyboard to be attached to it and we can see if we can run it. He said, the third one's in bad shape, but I think I can save it. Hunter Biden, who then identified himself, said, Well, that's the important one, meaning the one that has to be repaired. So they signed up a form document which required payment, but it also had a very interesting clause in it. It said if you don't reclaim your property within 90 days of the completion of the work, the property is deemed to be abandoned. And under the law, abandoned property becomes the property of the first person who takes it. So the merchant would be the person who took it. So for 70, 80, 90 days, he was trying to reach Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden never responded. 120 days, 130 days, never responded. Then he started hearing things on television and radio about the crimes allegedly committed.

This, when it happened to Trump and the New York Times, they didn't say a peep.

They probably have seriously compromising information on Biden's involvement in the deals ostensibly with Hunter. Would, uh, would Biden do something to, uh intervene. The world will become so much worse if the Democrats win. It is, it is almost indescribable. All right, are you ready, Mr. McConnell? Who's that masked man behind you? I, I— between the baseball hat and the mask. Oh, how you doing? All right. So, uh, Joe Biden says it's malarkey, all this stuff about me and, and, uh, the— and Hunter and Ukraine, it's all malarkey. The family we should talk about is your family, which is hurting. Donald Trump's response, 28 seconds.

Political statement, let's get off this China thing. And then he looks at the family around the table, everything. Just a typical politician when I see I'm not a difficult politician. That's why I got elected. Let's get off the subject of China. Let's talk around sitting around the table. Come on, Joe, you can do better.

God, is that— he tells more truth. I mean, you know, they— the lawyer, the lawyer, the liar. The guy tells more truth. It's almost— it's exhilarating to hear this. This exactly— he cut through the pablum of the The Biden response, 29.

You know what, North Korea, we're not in a war. We have a good relationship. You know, people don't understand having a good relationship with leaders of other countries.

Joe Biden's response.

They had a good relationship with Hitler before he in fact invaded Europe, the rest of Europe.

We did. I— it's really— not only is it a new one, I wish the president had said, what a smear of Franklin Roosevelt. Really? FDR had a good relationship with Hitler before 1938, before 1939? Really? Wow. It's really too bad. And that's typical Biden. He did that when he's in the vice presidential debate. He made up stuff. I remember I heard him say something in the debate and I thought, gee, I didn't know that. And people, I'll bet you 90% of Americans go, yeah, that's a great point. We had a great relationship with Hitler. Really? What a smear of FDR. But why do they care? The only thing they now like of FDR is his expansion of the government in his attempt to pack the court. They certainly don't agree with the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Anyway, the guy had a great relationship with Hitler. Don't ask me, Joe Biden, professor of history, has it. Where are the new clips, Sean? Over here? We're good? All right. Then, yes, but I gotta turn to 31.

What I'm gonna do is pass Obamacare with a public option. Public option will become BidenCare. The public option is an option that says that if you in fact do not have the wherewithal to be— if you qualify for Medicaid and you do not have the wherewithal in your state to get Medicaid, you automatically are enrolled, providing competition for insurance companies.

All right, so let me just say this. So I heard this and I thought, I didn't follow that. Then I read And I thought, I don't follow that. Then I read it again and I thought, I don't follow that. Then I asked my wife, who is brilliant and is particularly about matters that are not my forte, like the intricacies of healthcare. And she didn't get it. Why don't you play it again and let's see if you folks get it. What Biden—

what I'm going to do is pass Obamacare with a public option.

That's clear.

Become Bidencare. The public option is an option that says that if you in fact do not have the wherewithal to be— if you qualify for Medicaid and you do not have the wherewithal in your state to get Medicaid, you automatically are enrolled, providing competition for insurance companies.

If you do not have the wherewithal to to qualify for Medicaid? Isn't that the whole point? To qualify for Medicaid, you don't have the wherewithal, but then you do have Medicaid. All right, so you don't follow it either?

Well, I didn't follow this part about the, uh, competition with health.

Yeah, the competition. This is their theory that You can choose between private healthcare or a cheaper government option. That's what they say by— but he said you automatically enrolled. Uh, automatically enrolled. Oh, you know, that's okay. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you, and, uh, let's see what we can do for 32.

The idea that I want to eliminate private insurance, the reason why I had such a fight for with 20 candidates for the nomination was, I support private insurance. That's why I didn't— not one single person with private insurance would lose their insurance under my plan.

Sound familiar?

Or did they under Obamacare?

Nor did they under Obamacare is a gigantic lie. I know people who lost their insurance under Obamacare. It is a pure lie. The man lies much more frequently and much more substantively than the president does. And by the way, why did he pick somebody who's opposed to private healthcare as his vice presidential running mate? Oh, I wish he would have asked that.

Well, I think it gives you a real clear snapshot of what it looks like without someone in, in the federal government bureaucracy that is dismantling it and tearing it apart and saying these things are crooked and corrupt.

Corrupt.

Without that force, this stuff would happen with no consequences. And so just imagine the amount of spying that we knew that went on with the Obama administration, and just imagine all three branches of government all under the same control, all allowing such surveillance, and in this case, cover-up of corrupt behavior, etc., to be allowed to continue to occur without any consequence, in all likelihood without any awareness being raised to it. Again, it was the people of the United States responding to these huge media platforms. And let's be very clear about one thing about these platforms. They are not governed the same way that media outlets are. They're not governed by the same rules that the New York Post or the New York Times are. They are supposed to be neutral pass-throughs. They're like a phone company. We're not supposed to know what's coming through the individual calls that people make on the phone lines.

Hi, this is Dennis Prager, and you know we are in a fight for our fundamental freedoms. That's why I am grateful for my Yes, y'all, Dennis Prager here. Why can't I find 31? What happened to me here? Is this it? Well done, Dennis. Thank you. Thank you very much. You know, men compliment themselves much more than women do. It starts very early, by the way. No, no, we're very good at it. It is an— I catch myself doing it in my mind. I will compliment myself on the way I parked my car. In my mind, I will say, good job, and then think, you know, that's pathetic. You just complimented yourself on how you parked the car. I don't say it out loud. I just want to say it to myself. Women, on the other hand, are always insulting themselves. It's an amazing male-female difference. It is. Anyway, it starts at a very early age. You remember that when you're—

right?

Doesn't a boy go, hey, did you see that hit? Did you see that catch? Right? Girls don't do that. By the way, Gad Saad, that professor I had on the show— so I'm, I'm in, I guess, two-thirds through his book. His chapter on male-female differences is so good. It, it's so purely science-based. You know that they have kids in every culture given toys, any culture in the world. I mean, you know, from, from jungle culture to, to Belgium, and the, the boys don't play with the dolls. The girls play with it all, and the boys love things with wheels. Isn't that interesting? All right, we are now up to— yeah, oh yeah, so yeah, yes, he doesn't want to eliminate private insurance. That's why I ran. I fought with 20 candidates and I picked one who doesn't want private healthcare as my running mate. Okay, number 33.

Concerns that your healthcare plan, which includes a government insurance option, takes the country one step closer to a healthcare system run entirely by the government.

What's your response to that? I say it's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. The idea that he will have government healthcare is ridiculous.

No Democrat.

No, we would never move to that. Guy lies with the ease with which you breathe. That's correct. Take it away, Donald Trump 34.

He wants socialized medicine, and it's not that he wants it, his vice president.

I mean, there you go.

She is, is more liberal than Bernie Sanders and wants it even more. Bernie Sanders wants it. The Democrats want it. You're going to have socialized medicine just like you went with fracking. We're not going to have fracking. We're going to start stop fracking, we're going to stop fracking. Then he goes to Pennsylvania after he gets a nomination, where he got very lucky to get it, and he goes to Pennsylvania and he says, oh, we're going to have fracking.

That's right. By the way, CNN called out Biden, to my shock and to CNN's credit. They said he lied when he said that he never came out against fracking. Check CNN today. Let's go to 36.

Look, the idea that the stock market is booming is his only measure of what's happening. Where I come from in Scranton and Claymont, the people don't live off of the stock market.

The president's response is awesome. 37.

All right, he doesn't come from Scranton. That's like one of— he lived there for a for a short period of time before he even knew it.

They hate him because he— they don't hate him because he lies, the president. They hate him because he tells the truth. That's, that's what you need to understand. Mm-hmm. All right, let's see here. Uh, I'm gonna go to, uh 40.

We have to help our small businesses by raising the minimum wage. That's not helping. I think it should be a state option. Alabama is different than New York. New York is different from Vermont. Every state is different. It should be a state option.

God, was that— and again, another truth. Oh, he's for— he's for the small business guy and for the economy. He's for small businesses and he's gonna raise the minimum wage. So there'll be a national minimum wage, but to pay $15 to a waiter in Alabama knocks the restaurant out of business. It's doable in New York City where the prices of everything are just higher. The president is right. Why isn't it a state option? Why would you have a national minimum wage? God, if you study this debate, there is no moral or intellectual or rational reason to vote Democrat.

Would you explain to people why it is ominous, though not illegal, what Twitter and Facebook did?

The New York Post broke a story about emails discovered that indicate that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, set up a meeting with his father when his father was vice president and the officers from Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that was paying Hunter Biden millions of dollars. Throughout all of impeachment, Joe Biden insisted he didn't know anything about Burisma, he wasn't involved, he didn't know what his son was doing. And so if, if these— if this story is right, it means Joe Biden was lying, that he was, he was very involved. And, and what he told the press and told everyone else was a flat-out lie. I don't know if the New York Post story is right or not. It seems to me that it raises some, some real questions that need to be answered. But what Twitter and Facebook did is they decided they didn't want anyone talking about it, so they banned anyone from linking to the story. So if you sent out a tweet that linked to the story and someone tried to click on the link, it came up with it with a page instead that, that blocked you from the site and said this site contains dangerous information, which I guess it was dangerous for Joe Biden's political fortunes, but, but it was absurd. And they even took it a step further. The New York Post themselves were sending out tweets with, with their own story, as media outlets do. They blocked the New York Post. They prevented the New York Post from posting. The New York Post has the fourth highest circulation newspaper in the country.

Said Kayleigh McEnany is the, is the press secretary for the president of the United States when she posted a New York Post article. Article, not just some crazy tweet. She posts a New York Post article, she was locked out of her Twitter account. Facebook suppressed this stuff, Twitter suppressed this stuff.

They did it for different reasons, uh, and they— the explanations that they gave were equally dissatisfying. Facebook tried to claim that this was illegitimately gained material, that they didn't have the right to, uh, to this material to begin with, that it was hacked. Twitter took a wholly different path, saying something along the lines of, well, we can't prove that any of the facts involved here are true. So one of them's kind of admitting maybe truth to the facts, but saying that the legitimacy of how it was obtained was wrong, and the other saying they don't have proof that it is in fact true.

Okay, but Kev, let's say somebody finds material, private material, on me, they steal it, and they put it all over the web. You'd say, yeah, that's wrong.

Eric, let me give you a more concrete example. The New York Times published information related to the president's tax information that was not legally theirs to publish.

Correct.

They had no source on the record for it. They had no clear legal obtaining of it, and yet they published it. And Twitter and Facebook did precious nothing about those articles when they were retweeted.

This is throughout the universe. In other words, if you need proof that they are biased and that they're using their unbelievable, unprecedented power to try to get Joe Biden elected. You need no more proof than this.

I think on that question, you know, I'm going to invoke Justice—

Okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here continuing. Lauren in Hampton, Virginia, explains that Biden is talking about Medicaid expansion. Does that make sense? That's, that, that's what he meant by that phrase that none of us understood. So maybe you're right, and I thank you for doing that if I can't get to talk to you directly. All right, everybody, and I wish everybody in the country could hear the these hours that I played for this debate. I really do. I don't say that a lot, but this is one case. There's no comparison between the two last night. I'm not talking about, you know, style. And even in style, I thought the president was quite presidential and on top of the issues. He understands what the future is. Socialized medicine ruined economy, lockdown for the foreseeable future. He's entirely right. And yet liberals will vote for Democrats. It's really a disgrace. All right, let's go to— we'll go to 39, but I'll explain explain the context because the president had spoken about the lockdowns in Democratic states. So here was Joe Biden's response, 39.

All right, I want to—

I get elected, I'm not going to— I'm running as a proud Democrat, but I'm going to be an American president. I don't see red states and blue states. What I see is American United States.

That's what Barack Obama said. I'll never forget that. They love this rhetoric. He doesn't see blue states and red states. Really? It's really funny, but he does see black and white in race colors. See, I see blue and red, but I don't see black and white. See, it was— I told you the gulf between left and right is complete. He doesn't see color of states, but he does see color of individuals. I see color of states but not color of individuals, just for the record. Then the minimum wage which I told you about. Number 41.

How are you helping your small businesses when you're forcing wages? What's going to happen, and what's been proven to happen, is when you do that, these small businesses fire many of their employees.

Okay, I don't have the rest there, Sean. You do? Okay.

So then, within 100 days, I'm going to send to the United States Congress a pathway to citizenship citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people.

Yeah, okay, what do you say to that, folks? Another reason to vote for Joe Biden, isn't it? You know why they want another 11 million people? You know what it means? You know, this is, uh, undocumented. That means people who, who sneaked into the United States illegal. They used to be called illegal aliens. Now it's undocumented. Undocumented. The language change. You want 11 million people who illegally came into the U.S. to become citizens? Vote Democrat. Those of you in Arizona, well, I don't know, I like the senatorial candidate, he's a nice guy, he's a former astronaut, wow. You want 11 million more undocumented Americans to become Americans, you want illegal— 11 million. It's astonishing. There you go. I mean, what's more obvious in terms of the difference? You vote Democrat, this is your future. United States hangs in the balance in many ways in this election. I don't want to say in all ways because I don't want to dispirit you, so I'll say in many ways. Yep. All right, let's see, let's go to 44.

The fact of the matter is there is institutional racism in America, and we have always said— we've never lived up to it— that we hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created equal. But guess what? We never ever lived up to.

Who lives up to it? I mean, what are you talking— what is this, utopia? We have lived up to it more than any other nation in the history of the world. This is, this is what they do. It's, here's utopian ideal and here's our failure. Systemic racism. It's another reason to vote for him. How a liberal could vote for the Democrats is is a disgrace. It's just disgraceful. It's a— it's truly an alienation from all your liberal values. 45.

He's been in government 47 years. He never did a thing.

That's exactly right. 46.

Nobody has done more for the black community than Donald Trump. And if you look, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln, possible exception, but the exception of Abraham Lincoln, nobody has done what I've done.

I think that's true, to be honest. A lot of blacks think that's true. By the way, this is recorded as a lie by the Washington Post in their 22,000 lies. This is an example of a lie. In their view. Number 47.

You know, Joe, I ran because of you. I ran because of Barack Obama, because you did a poor job. If I thought you did a good job, I would have never run. I would have never run. I ran because of you. I'm looking at you now. You're a politician. I ran because of you.

There's another— just such pure truth. He's a politician. That's all he is. That's all Joe Biden is, is a politician who got wealthy as a politician. Corrupt politician. That's correct. Number 48.

Well, I tell you what, I, uh, I hope he does look at me because what's happening here is you know who I am. You know who he is.

I do.

You know his character. You know my character.

Agreed.

You know our reputations for honor and telling the truth. I am anxious to have this race. I am anxious to see this take place. I am— the character of the country is on the ballot. Our character is on the ballot. Look at us closely.

But don't voters have a right to know where they do have a right to know where they stand? They'll have a right to know where I stand before they vote.

So you'll come out with a clear position before Election Day?

Yes, depending on how they handle this. But look, what you should do is you got to make sure you vote and vote for a senator who in fact reflects—

people are voting now. I've already voted. He makes that point repeatedly. If George had been a real moderate, he would have pointed out, Mr. President, you have— Mr. Vice President, you always say people are already voting. So why don't those people deserve an answer right now? The answer is he doesn't want to answer it because it's radical. He's going to say yes. And he's going to fundamentally change the United States. Court packing is an assault on everything. And you just understand the radical left got Joe Biden to sign on to court packing. I don't know if there will be enough senators. We've got to hold the Republican Senate against the possibility that Joe Biden wins. I think it's neck and neck. 3 new polls came out this morning which tell you that. They're all North Carolina. In North Carolina, It is a tie between Biden and Trump, according to Emerson. In North Carolina, Cal Cunningham is allegedly 1 point ahead of Tom Tillis. I don't believe that after Cal Cunningham cheated on his wife and it has become a national news story and everyone in North Carolina knows about it. I don't believe that. I believe Tom Tillis is going to win. And it shows the governor up 4, the Democratic governor up 4 over the Republican governor. Dennis Prager, that is within the margin of error in my view. So North Carolina, dead heat. I think Pennsylvania is a dead heat. I think Wisconsin's a dead heat. I think this is a dead heat presidential election.

Pat is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pat, you're on the Larry Ola Show. Thank you so much for calling.

It seems to me during the Democratic primary there was a lot of talk about not only taxing the wealthy but something called the wealth tax. And it was my understanding that they were taxing the wealth that you had from your savings, from your assets, from your house, that kind of thing.

That's right.

10% a year, every year, every year. Estate tax that goes every year. No, I haven't heard anything about that. Can you tell me what that is and if they are still trying to promote that tax? Because I think us seniors with some savings would probably not be happy.

Hi everybody, let's go to 51.

Joe Biden, intelligence folks who said that what this— he's accusing me of is a Russian plan.

Well, you're absolutely right, and certainly that did come up during the campaign. I will tell you this: the lawmakers here in the state of California are absolutely proposing a wealth tax. They want to increase the state income tax from the highest in the nation, 13.3%, to 16%, and they also want to pass a wealth tax. Now, why do I mention what's going on in California? Because every dumb idea that the federal government wants to do has been tried at least twice in California.

Russia.

And so California is considering this. The lawmakers are all Democrats. Democrats occupy two-thirds of both chambers of the legislature here in California, plus they run the governorship.

So in the unlikely event that somehow the Russians made up photos, they actually developed that— that's a lot of work. I mean, it's one thing to Photoshop, uh, you know, you change an existing photograph Yes, all the emails, naturally. But I mean, the photos are pretty, pretty clear evidence. So the, the guy at the store who had the computer— why don't they do— they should do a fingerprint, you know, see if they get Hunter Biden's fingerprints on that laptop. I just thought I'd have to play that for you. Is that where it ends? I don't have more here. I have only till 52. Anyway, play 52 because if we can do the next one—

Mr. President, you've described the Black Lives Matter movement as a symbol of hate.

I play the response of the president.

Well, you have to understand, the first time I ever heard of Black Lives Matter, they were chanting pigs in a blanket, talking about police. Pigs, pigs, talking about our police. Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon. I said, that's a horrible thing. And they were marching down the street. And that was my first glimpse of Black Lives Matter. I thought it was a terrible thing. As far as my relationships with all people, I think I have great relationships with all people. I am the least racist person in this room.

Now that's overstated. I don't think his wife is racist either, and she was in the room. But that— oh yeah, go ahead.

Abraham Lincoln here is one of the most racist presidents we've had in modern history. He pours fuel on every single racist fire, every single one. Started off his campaign coming down the escalator saying he's getting rid of those Mexican rapists. He's banned Muslims because they're Muslims.

He banned Muslims because they're Muslim.

Abraham Lincoln here is one of the most racist presidents we've had in modern history.

All right, my friends, I'm sorry to Adam, Linda, Ken, Lauren, Chris, Wayne, and Michelle. I had to play the debate. I wish you could play my analysis in Hours 1 and 3 for every friend you have. You can if you go to prageropia.com. Have a wonderful weekend.
