The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

Hi, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show. I'm Dennis Prager. I have the complete right to welcome you. I watched some of the hearings with Attorney General Barr, and it's very difficult for me to contain myself on the deterioration in public life in America that the left has brought about, and which was exemplified by Gerald Nadler. And other Democrats. I really do, I really do have this question. It's an honest question. Do bad people simply join the left, or does the left make a middle person or even a decent person into a bad person? The issue isn't that I differ with them. What they did to Brett Kavanaugh was evil. It's not— it wasn't political, it was evil. The lying that was involved, the smearing of a very good man. We have zero evidence that you did something in high school? In high school? That clergy did not speak out? I need to say the, uh, my disappointment in the lack of standing up for Judeo-Christian principles on the part of vast numbers of clergy, Christian and Jewish, is Another part of the unfortunate times in which we live. I do not care if you are a Democrat or Republican, you stand for a concept. Even if he had been guilty, that there is repentance is central to Judaism and Christianity. And look at the life that he has led since high school. But no, no, I don't remember the voices there. There were some, but very few. So I look at the, the hearings and the treatment. Is it true that he asked for a 5-minute break and was denied it? Yes, he was denied it, and then he was granted it. All right, let's show— there is a clip here. Cedric Richmond, who is a Democrat from Louisiana. Okay.

In his life fighting.

And so I would just suggest that actions speak louder than words.

And you really should keep the name of the Honorable John Lewis out of the Department of Justice's mouth. Let me also say— Wow. That's really something. Well, look, by that criterion, hockey is an incredibly systemic, if not systematic— he didn't know the difference between systematic and systemic— Hockey is truly systemic racist, systemically racist. You really should keep the name of the Honorable John Lewis out of the Department of Justice. You have to have some mercy on me. These are not things that I could hear over and over. And not to mention, of course, orchestras. But of course there's a solution according to the New York Times. You no longer have blind auditions. I reviewed that with you. The head musical critic of the New York Times said no more blind auditions. You actually have people join orchestras based on color. Is blind audition problematic like colorblind? Yeah, of course. Yes, the fact that you can't see the sex or gender— excuse me, sex or race— of the potential member of the orchestra, that's, that's not good. We want you to see it because race is important. You can't mention John Lewis because you didn't bring Black staffers with you. So his, his, his attack on the Attorney General is you didn't bring Black staffers because they're Black. That, right, that's systemic racism. That, that's the whole point. Boy, are these people, uh, they're bad. They're just bad people.

Wow.

Well, my friends, there's really one thing to be done, and that is you cannot elect a Democrat in any office in this land. Do you know that, uh, Is it Nadler who said that the violence in Portland is a myth, or did he say specifically Antifa violence is a myth? He didn't say Antifa. It's a myth that they're— so, so 60 days, what have they been doing, singing? Those fires are, are not accurate? Well, maybe he just watches CNN. I'm sure that's true. CNN is not reporting the violence in Portland. I don't know, I'm, I'm truly asking a question. Maybe some of you who watch it, it doesn't fit their narrative. Yes, I know that. That's why I'm asking the question. Well, indeed. I said, you know, it's interesting, I said the 2016 election was the most important in American history. And I said until COVID that as important as 2020 is, it's not as important as 2016. It's truly significant. But now I have to say, Given that the left controls the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party is, if you put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on one end of the political moral spectrum and John F. Kennedy at the other end, she's a 10, he's a 1 in terms of leftism. Democratic Party is at 8. That's between Kennedy, not between conservatives and left. That's between a liberal and left. But liberals buy the Kool-Aid, drink the Kool-Aid, that their enemy is conservatism. You know, the president is called a pathological liar. If there's anything systemic, it's the systemic accusations. You know what I find of interest? They never give examples. I know the Washington Post has 3,000 examples. I mean, it's— you could do that with any human being, but a pathological liar, he's an exaggerator, he's an overstater. But pathological, they're up to 17,000. Well, they keep track. Yes, they should have kept track with Barack Obama's straw men. I bet you there were 17,000 straw men. And this is the argument. What if Mike Pence were president? What would be the accusation? He's a Christian fundamentalist. I mean, the hatred would be virtually as intense. Please understand that they, even in the age of MeToo, they attacked Mike Pence for not ever being alone in a room with a woman. Right? Isn't that his policy? Or certainly like the Billy Graham policy, the door is always open. Because that, that was sexist. So if you're, if you're very careful not to have any sexually charged statement, let alone action, that's also not good if you're a Christian. What they're doing to Breitbart at Google is a very bad thing, I'll tell you.

We're going to be getting back to Mr. Biden in just a second. Some of the things he said about President Trump being, uh, being racist, just— it's just unreal. This is a man, Joe Biden, who has lied and said that the NAACP has endorsed him when the NAACP came out and said, excuse me, we're a 501(c)(3) corporation, we can't endorse anybody. Oops. Lied about trying to visit Nelson Mandela and getting arrested in his attempt He said he was with Andrew Young. Andrew Young was the first Black ambassador to the United Nations, marched with MLK, was there when MLK was shot at that motel in Tennessee. And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, and nope. And I've told you, Biden has for decades talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in Black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware. Zero evidence he ever did it. Now, why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being Black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of Black people? What it shows you is he thinks of Black people as stupid, obviously not capable of investigating these false claims.

And by the way, as props. I'll just show you how much I care, how much I care, how much I care. Never mind my policies are hurtful.

There are about 700 Uyghurs, mostly women, who are forced to make sneakers for a company that is a long-term supplier for the company that we know as Nike.

Hang on, hang on.

I don't want anybody to miss this. So there is a slave labor camp where they make sneakers, and that company feeds its products into the factories that make sneakers for Nike?

Gordon?

Yeah, this is a Nike supplier. So Nike works directly with the company that maintains what is a camp. It's got high walls, barbed-wire watchtowers, and really looks like a small concentration camp. It is a factory. This company has had a relationship with Nike for over 3 decades. This particular facility makes 8 million pairs of shoes a year, almost all of them for Nike. Nike says in a statement that it doesn't use forced or indentured labor, but indeed we know that it does, because Washington Post reporting Okay everybody, Dennis Prager here.

Should we play this representative from the state of Washington? Oh, this is what— this is what the hearings were like, how they've degenerated. There's so much more lying on the left than in the presidency that that's one of the reasons they use the term liar all the time. She accused Attorney General Barr of ignoring right-wing threats in demonstrations but suppressing Blacks, by the way, I think most of the rioters, not talking protesters, in Portland are white. I look at the pictures and to the extent that I could make out color, it's overwhelmingly white. In fact, there was a Black Lives Matter guy who even said, you know, this is a different agenda. It's— a society cannot survive a full-pronged left-wing assault. No society ever has. So we have a lot at stake. So she, she said, you know, you don't— you didn't— you— do you know that they called for the beheading of the governor in Michigan? Did you know that? Representative Jayapal. She from where? Well, there's no, uh, there's no first name here. Yeah, from Washington. It's, it's a— I, I've looked this up. I know the swastika. Do you know that they have— first of all, it's so dishonest because He— they didn't send in federal troops because people were yelling bad things. They sent in federal troops because they were destroying federal property. Did, did the people on the right demonstrating in Lansing— did they, did they destroy federal property? So the question is dishonest. That's why she didn't let him respond. As soon as he would start talking, she would just talk over him again. I don't know what makes these— what animates these people. I don't. There are no rules. And rules, to a large extent, not completely, are a conservative concept. Like, there are rules on how you get into an orchestra. There are rules on what is excellent. Those things are destroyed. There are rules of grammar. Now Rutgers University English department has abolished grammar because it's racist, to which many blacks have said, that's racist. You don't expect us to speak English properly, you on the left. And the answer is, that is correct, they don't. Breitbart is one of the largest sites in, uh, on the internet. And it is clear— they showed a chart on what comes up when you— what is it, typed in Biden or something to that effect? And all of the conservative sites were at the bottom of the number of hits. Google has created a way in which you are not seen nearly as much as the number of hits would warrant if it was fair. But they announced in 2016 they failed in getting a Democrat elected, and they're not going to fail again in 2020. Google is morally corrupt. That it was founded by a guy whose parents were refugees from the Soviet Union. I wrote an open letter to him, Sergey Brin. You can certainly find it on the internet. If anybody should be grateful for free speech, it is the child of immigrants from the Soviet Union, and he's not. For those of you who have listened to me for a long time, you know that one of the fundamental understandings of human nature is that it's not good. I don't say it's evil. Human nature has good parts, but it's not good. So if you don't fight yourself, you will not be a good person. What the left has done is, you're okay, I'm okay, America stinks, instead of America is okay, I stink. That's the way I was raised. I got to work on Dennis. I'm very lucky to be an American. They have— you don't have to work on yourself. It's America that's awful. A, uh, did you see the article by the— what is it? Did he come from the Soviet Union? No, he's a German Jew. That's it, a German Jew living in Europe, and how he is petrified that America will no longer lead the world because it led because of its commitment to freedom. And the world is in for a dark age— that's my term— if America ceases to lead in terms of freedom. The left wants us to lead in terms of global warming, but we have a higher idea that we should lead in terms of liberty. Liberty is the great value that the founders wanted to perpetuate. It's a republic if you can keep it. I'm still looking for the— by the way, they mentioned there was a swastika. I'm looking for the beheaded lion. I can't find it. But she said, the representative from Washington, to Attorney General Barr. Did you not notice the swastika? Swastikas? I think she used plural. One sign had a swastika and it was an anti-Nazi sign. This— the purpose of the sign was to say that the government is so depriving people in Michigan of rights, it's becoming like the Nazi Party. That's how dishonest they are. It was an anti-Nazi not pro-Nazi sign. But truth is not a left-wing value. That is a perfect example. I'd like to know a lie that the president has told that is as detrimental to society as the lie that this representative from Washington told about the swastika. Maybe there is. I would like to know. I cannot come up with one. Doesn't mean it didn't happen. Well, good people on both sides is not a lie. It's a morally disgusting comment if he made it, but he didn't say it. So it's a lie about him. Anyway, that's that. So I'm still awaiting— I'm not awaiting what you think he says that's detrimental to society. I'm waiting for a lie that is comparable to this swastika lie. Of the left.

That's of course the Bari Weiss story. This individual who worked for the New York Times was meant to be a a face of bringing in more diverse political opinions. And of course, what happened? She had to resign because as a Jewish contributor, an employee, she was called a Nazi by her fellow workers at the New York Times, had to have little axe emojis next to her name on their internal messaging system. Emily, is this a flash-in-the-pan irrelevance, or is the Bari Weiss story from your point of view as a cultural editor for Federalist, indicative of a far larger problem?

This is a much, much larger problem, and it's something that we used to sort of think of as a canary in the coal mine every time something like this happened, but we're way beyond that point. What this case shows is that the standards are already in place in the liberal media and the corporate media. If someone who is a center leftist like Bari Weiss. I mean, you could maybe call her a centrist, but she is—

she calls herself a centrist, but she ain't no centrist. I mean, she's on the left. She's on the left.

She's on the left. If she can't survive, and she said this in her resignation letter, if she can't survive without getting incessantly bullied by her colleagues at the New York Times, then there is no room for any dissenting opinion anymore at the paper of record. So I think this is a much, much deeper problem that speaks to the pushing out of all non-progressive voices in corporate media, which is going going to exclude a whole lot of people and makes debate basically impossible because there's no debate.

One, I get to continue my conversation with Roger Stone. Roger, I still cannot get over the moment a week ago. I heard your sentence was commuted, and then shortly thereafter you declared rather boldly that you'd been born again, that you'd given your life to Christ. And I said to my wife, God's hand is on this country, because not only do we have a president who would commute your horrible sentence, But we have people like you being willing to say what you said on a program that was obviously watched by a lot of people who weren't looking forward to that part of it. They just were happy for you and for the commutation.

Well, I knew when I went on Sean's show, I knew that secular liberal elitists in the media would mock me as they have. There's a big piece in Washington Monthly. Oh, Roger Stone's converted to Christ. What a joke. It's a head fake, it's a ploy. Okay, we'll see. It doesn't matter to me what they think because all that matters is what he thinks, and he knows what's in my heart. It'll be proven over time, so I'm not worried about that. What we see happening today is an epic struggle between dark and light. This, this is it for the United States. We're going to hurtle over the cliff to globalism and face 1,000 years of darkness unless we win the next election and that we then move to preserve our constitutional government and end the epic two-party duopoly control of this country.

About 1.4 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits once again last week. The new data just released, it is of course a discouraging sign for the— workers have now filed more than 52 million initial jobless claims since layoffs spiked in mid-March, according to the New York Post, suggesting about a third Okay everybody, Dennis Prager here.

I'm gonna go to my guest in a moment. I looked it up because I had never heard the, uh, the charges that were made by the representative from the state of Washington to attorney general that people at the demonstration— I want to keep that, Sean, I want to keep that, uh, that representative's statement, uh, that they called for the beheading, uh, and lynching of the governor. She lied. It was 100% lie. This was Facebook posts where you find everything and anything. People call for my death on Facebook. This is the low level of many of the things on the internet. Nobody at the demonstration called for her to be beheaded. She lied. But how was he supposed to know that? I had to look this up. On the line I have a man who makes extremely significant videos, Ami Horowitz, and he was most recently in Portland. Do you ever go anywhere where it's nice and peaceful and there's no danger?

Hmm, I'd have to think about that one.

Yeah, I thought so.

I have to ruminate on that one.

You would, you would have to ruminate. So what took you to Portland?

Well, you know, uh, just normal vacation, uh, nothing newsworthy, nothing really important to report. Just want to kind of hang out and see what's going on.

Oh, so amazing that you picked that place. There's a— is there a lot of violence there?

You know, I gotta tell you what's so amazing about this, um, the media's willful distortion of the agenda and the behavior of the crowd has crossed into journalistic malpractice. I think there's no other way to describe it. They are describing these people as peaceful, as fun-loving, as having a great old time. It is, you know, look, when you get to Portland, it looks really normal in the daytime, other than the fact that it's always, you know, crime-ridden and full of homeless people. But other than that, it looks like a normal Portland day. Then when you hit 9 o'clock, this one 5-square, 5-square street area just erupts in insanity and violence. And what you have there are hard— like, it is a massive protest. You are talking about 3,000, 4,000 people a night who will be going there. And within that 3,000, 4,000 people, you have several, not a few, not a few dozen, several hundred actual rioters. Who are attacking a federal court building with incendiary devices, lighting on fire, attacking it with truncheons and with pipes and with Molotov cocktails. And, and you then have the other 3,500 people who are cheering them on.

Okay.

And this is the point I keep trying to make when I go to these protests and the people say, hey, look, it's, it's mostly peaceful. By the way, term I hate more than anything else.

It gets me going more than anything else.

It's got most of the people that are peaceful. You turn the line from being a peaceful protester to being an enabler of violence if you are cheering the rioters on. I didn't see a single person trying to pull one of these guys back or yell, "Hey guys, don't do this." And even worse, I don't know if it's worse, but certainly it's bad, is there's tons of press there and most of their cameras are down. When they, when, when the rioters are doing their thing. And then when the police come out and that's when the cameras go up. And it's also this bizarre notion that these federal officers are roaming the streets of Portland, disappearing people is nonsense. They're not even on the street. Frankly, I would argue they're not taking enough of a proactive position on this thing, but they're, they only come out when the actual building is in danger of burning down. And then they use what I use as humane methods. And I can say that because I was the victim, I'm not using the victim in quotes, but I was tear gassed and pepper sprayed because, look, deservedly, I was there. I was there in the area with the rioters. So obviously they're firing their tear gas canisters at anybody they think might be a danger and it pushes people back. So this whole thing is just the perception and the way the media is portraying this, Dennis, is driving me crazy. I don't know what to do about it.

They're really— they— it is the lying media. It's, it's what you just reported is very distressing. So why do they— I'm curious, why do they not do this during the day?

Who knows what is in the mind of a, uh, of a, of one of these, uh, you know, animals, one of these, uh—

also, did you, did you get to speak to any of them?

I did. So yeah, I did a whole video on it. Um, and I spoke to a lot of them. I spoke, I spoke to a bunch of them until I got recognized. And, uh, and then I was—

hold it there. Now I'm very curious. I mean, I'm curious the whole time. His video is up at DennisPrager.com, by the way, from Portland. Reduzone is an easier way to diet.

His latest video is up at DennisPrager.com, or you can go straight to his website, AmiHorowitz.com. And you, you yourself, I asked you if you— and I did remember, I did watch your video and I forgot— you did speak to a demonstrator or two, uh, because you were— and you were recognized, which is a danger. I was always wondering when it's going to finally happen, you'll be recognized. Then what happened?

Well, then they, they proceeded to— so what one of the things they do when the, when the federal officers come out and, and hold the line to make sure they can no longer threaten the federal building, is they throw glass bottles, sometimes Molotov cocktails at the officer. So there is a lot of littered glass on the floor just outside of the federal building. And they began to pick up the glass and throw it at me. It was not that bad.

I got out.

I was able to extricate myself out of the situation pretty quickly. And that was the first— I actually went there for 2 nights. That was the first night. The second night I came back, this time I came back with security. And so, yeah, so I, we interviewed, you know, I don't know, probably a dozen or so people before we had to hightail out. And the response was very similar. And, you know, kind of what I try to do is uncover the nature of someone with just a few penetrating questions, right? In this case, I really asked 2 questions for the most part. And the first question was, is it time to end the American experiment? And second question was, do you see, are you trying to use chaos?

Right?

Because what you're seeing, what I was seeing around me, what we're seeing around the country in these blue cities is, is out of control chaos, but it's chaos being used as a tool to accomplish the first, to end America. And the response was, with one exception, it was pretty much unanimous that yes, in both cases, America has to end as we know it, because that is the only way that we can build equality, not equality of opportunity, but equality, of course, of outcome. And we cannot do that within the context of how the Founders framed this country. And yes, chaos is absolutely what they are using to accomplish this goal. And I thought it was, uh, and then I, well, here's an exception. There was an exception. There was a Black man who I interviewed at the end, and he was beside himself at how these people were using a Black Lives Matter— this is all ostensibly a Black Lives Matter protest, right? This is what they said they were there for. In reality, they weren't. But this guy recognized that, and a number of Black, uh, protesters who were there recognized that they are hijacking what they're trying to do, what they're trying to accomplish, and using that to push their Marxist agenda. And they noticed that they were seeing socialist flags, Marxist flags, Soviet flags, Antifa flags. They noticed these things and they were beside themselves at how they thought that this violence, what was happening to them, is counterproductive to what they're trying to accomplish. And that so few Black people were actually out there. And it's true, the vast majority of them, they were saying 98%, I don't know what the exact number was, but a significant percentage were white. The whole thing was fascinating and troubling all at the same time.

Do you know if nearly all of the violent protesters are from Oregon?

Yeah, I would say the vast, vast majority. I mean, some may have been from Washington as well, but the vast majority are local. And by the way, that's the other lie that they've said. When I was in Milwaukee, it was the same, not Milwaukee, Minneapolis, same thing. It's all outside agitators.

Hogwash.

These were almost all people internally from the city who feel that way.

And the overwhelming majority were white. And any other generalizations for, let's say, age or sex?

It was actually quite split gender-wise. Am I allowed to say that? Are we allowed to assign gender? I can't assume somebody's gender. I can't, I refuse to ask that question because I don't want to be canceled. But it seemed to me that most of the people there were, uh, non-menstruating people. I'm sorry, we're equally between non-menstruating and menstruating.

Right.

Uh, and, um, yeah, look, it was tough to show those organizations that there, there, there was, look, there's obviously a generalization you can make is about the political beliefs, right? I don't think there's anybody in the center or right of center who were there. Um, But people were pretty open and honest about what they stood for. What they stood for was the dissolution of the United States.

I'm silent because you wonder what produces people to want to destroy something so uniquely good.

We have never taught in our schools, and I hate to say it, in our homes. I don't think the teaching The teaching of American values has not been a priority for our schools, certainly not for our schools. And many people are home.

No.

And when people oftentimes come to me and say, I don't know how my son became a leftist or how my son went to university and became anti-Israel. And I say to them, I hate to say it, but chances are it's kind of your fault. You didn't spend the time, the effort.

That's right.

Inculcate them in American values.

That's right.

That's the result. That is exactly right. So, uh, your video is— what is it titled?

We're going to be getting back to Mr. Biden in just a second. Some of the things he said about President Trump being racist, just, it's just unreal. This is a man, Joe Biden, who has lied and said that the NAACP has endorsed him when the NAACP came out and said, excuse me, we're a 501(c)(3) corporation, we can't endorse anybody. Oops. Lied about trying to visit Nelson Mandela and getting arrested in his attempt. He said he was with Andrew Young. Andrew Young was the first Black ambassador to United Nations, marched with MLK, was there when MLK was shot at that motel in Tennessee. And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, and nope. And I've told you, Biden has for decades talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in Black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware. Zero evidence he ever did. Now, why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being Black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of Black people? What it shows you is he thinks of Black people as stupid, obviously not capable of investigating these false claims, and by the way, as props.

I'll just show you how much I care How did Karlyn Borisenko, a left-leaning psychologist in New England, find herself at a Trump rally, and how did she react? One of the most powerful videos we've ever put out. The latest video from Prager University, see it at prageru.com, where we teach what isn't taught. Okay everybody, Dennis Prager here, and let me go to some calls. In Naperville, Illinois, it is Warren. Hello, Warren. Hello, Warren. Hmm, no response.

Can you hear me, Dennis?

Now I can. Now I can.

Okay, um, so I was taking issue with a comparable lie that the president might have said, like, uh, you know, because the left lies A lot. Well, now, the issue I was taking with that is simple. Even before he was president, President Trump perpetuated, you know, the birthright debacle. Not only was it untrue—

Wait, I'm sorry, what debacle? You said he perpetrated a debacle? Debacle? I didn't— I don't follow that.

The birther debacle.

Oh, the birther debacle. I see. So why—

why—

okay, so, so that he went around, right, around saying he had investigators in Hawaii that, uh, were turning up serious stuff, that Obama was not born in the United States, he's an illegitimate president, he's an imposter.

And it forced the only color. All right, okay, all right, I hear you. So is there— that's fine, I'll deal with that. Give me an— I give examples almost every day of the devastating lies, like America had the revolution in order to perpetuate slavery. Is there anything as damaging that the president has lied about that is comparable to the left's lies? Or that woman yesterday saying the representative from the state of Washington that demonstrators called for the beheading of Governor Whitmer. It was a complete lie, 100% lie. Do you have anything other than the birther issue?

Well, put it this way, um, Mr. Trump, the president, right, has always been in the public space because he's a political socialite. So people listen to him when he says something. And, um, but you might not think much of that birtherism issue.

Okay. All right. Listen, only because there's no time, I have to say goodbye. Uh, so the birther issue, which did no damage whatsoever, whether absurd or not, I also believe I never was involved in it, never even talked about it. It is not comparable to the smear of America and the lie that the representative told yesterday. We'll be back.

I'm relatively calm. I had a rough night last night when I saw all the baseball players at the Nationals-Yankees game taking a knee, and I thought they were doing so during the Star-Spangled Banner. I saw a lot of comments on social media, I'm out, that's it, never gonna go to another baseball game or watch another baseball game again. And then I found out pretty quickly they didn't take a knee at the Nationals-Yankees game during the anthem. Every single player stood respectfully during the Star-Spangled Banner. That's the takeaway. Taking a knee during a Morgan Freeman video and holding a black ribbon of unity, as the players did, was before the national anthem. And then for the anthem, they, they, they all rose and they stood respectfully for The Star-Spangled Banner. That's a big difference. And I don't know that a lot of people know the difference. I think people saw that image— and I know there was another game and there were a couple players. We're going to see people taking a knee and you'll get to make a decision about how you respond to that. But listen, the President said it last night. Sean Hannity had a had a one-on-one with President Trump. It was fascinating. I really wish everybody who hates this man would be willing to take 20 minutes of their life and watch the whole interview. I mean, here's the president on the phone from the White House. Sean, of course, is a huge supporter and an advocate of President Trump and conservatism. And it just gives you insights into the way the man Keep up with what's trending.

4 years ago, 5 years ago, no one had heard the term deep state, much less been convinced that there was such a thing. We see that the threat is keener than ever.

It doesn't matter whether you refer to it as Dwight Eisenhower, one of the greatest presidents of my lifetime, did as the military-industrial complex, or you call it the deep state. It's the same thing. It's the permanent political establishment in place that is both Republicans and Democrats working together for oppressive policies, but mostly interested only in their own power and wealth. It is atheistic. It is not— they believe in no God. They believe in one kind of globalist world government, where we believe in the U.S. Constitution that essentially was, you know, was built on the Christian values of a Christian God. So we're going to find out very soon, because there is now no question whatsoever, based on declassified documents, that the entire Russia investigation was a politically motivated fraud. In fact, it's the largest abuse of power in American history, where Barack Obama and virtually all of the leaders of his administration used the full authority of the United States government and the incredible surveillance capability of our intelligence agencies to spy on the Republican candidate, to defraud the FISA courts, and they used fabricated evidence in an effort to stage an illegal coup and undo the results of the 2016 election. Watergate? Watergate is small potatoes compared to that. I mean, you see, you see Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff jumping up and down screaming about the rule of law. These fellas, the rule of law, look in the mirror.

There's an adage I've always heard: never make an enemy out of somebody who buys ink by the barrel. Meaning, don't tick off a newspaper. This man has ticked off an industry. He's popularized the expression fake news and gotten people to realize how biased the media are. We've been talking about it for decades, but I think now people are beginning to realize it because of Trump. They see how he's been misquoted. He's, uh, they've got these people on saying that he referred to the coronavirus as a hoax. No, he didn't. It's been fact-checked and they said he didn't, but they still say it. Donald Trump said that there are good Nazis and bad Nazis. No, he didn't. But when you don't correct the politician or the pundit for saying it, you're putting it out there on purpose. This is what we're up against. These cockamamie plans that Joe Biden has are not gonna be seriously talked about or tested or discussed. More taxes on rich people, a Green New Deal, $15 minimum wage, a commission to study reparations, for crying out loud. Wealth tax, debt forgiveness, tuition forgiveness, and the continued march towards single payer, which is what they wanted all along. We're not even having a discussion about this. Joe Biden recently said, Donald Trump is the first racist president we've ever elected. Are you smelling something? We've had 12 presidents who own slaves. We had a president that showed Birth of a Nation in the White House, Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat who resegregated the military, resegregated the federal government. Donald Trump is— honestly, you ever listen to the LBJ tapes, hear some of the things he said about people? Democrats. I am Larry Elder.

It doesn't matter what law enforcement law enforcement you are. You could be a county sheriff or a member of the Secret Service or, I don't know, FBI, work in the Justice Department. And if you're in law enforcement, if you're a federal agent, if you are part of the effort to bring peace and lawfulness to a community, if you wear a badge You are hated by a lot of people of a particular political party, and it's not the Republicans. Here's what Biden said yesterday. He was doing a virtual event, and I don't know that people were shocked that he said it, maybe surprised, because there's an effort to to present Vice President Biden as a moderate. There's an effort to say this Ah, the good old days.

I'll bet they were talking to each other within a few feet, unmasked. I'm Dennis Prager. Welcome to the Male-Female Hour. And apropos of that, I have a topic for it. This has been going on, the Male-Female Hour, second hour on Wednesdays. Uh, since Columbus. In fact, Columbus did the first show. That's how it feels. It's been a, it's been a long time. It's most honest talk about men and women, of which I am aware. As I always say, there may be some other show or program that is as honest about men and women. I'm simply not familiar with it. In any event, Today's topic is very simple, and I don't know what the answer will be. And I, in other words, I don't know if a generalization is possible. All right, and I'm a big fan of generalizations, but only when warranted. So here's my question: who is more frightened of the coronavirus? The husband or the wife? Or the male significant other or the female significant other? Your mother or your father? Your son or your daughter? Your brother-in-law or your sister-in-law? All right, you got the point. Call in. It's very simple. 1-800-PRAGER-776, 877-243-7776. Who's more afraid to go out? Who's more afraid to dine out, to travel, to meet with others, to have somebody come over? 1-800-PRAGER-776. There was a piece in the Wall Street Journal Lonely Girls: How the Pandemic Has Deepened the Isolation of Adolescents. And it's about one family, and the parents of that family did not allow their 10-year-old to meet with other 10-year-olds. I wonder if it's equal, the father and the mother. It didn't, it didn't say. Might very well be.

The—

a lot of people might have thought, well, of both sexes, that women would be more inclined to be frightened about going out, about dining out, about travel, about masks outside than men. But I don't know. I don't know it to be true. I don't know. I don't— I'm not saying it's false. I'm not— maybe it's evenly distributed, male and female. When I have seen videos of people truly angry at somebody not wearing a mask, it seems that it was more often female, but it might be because the females are more often in such circumstances, like, like a grocery store. So I, I simply don't know. I mean, I'm a big fan of generalizing, but generally not from one case. So the— you remember the case where— where did that happen? That the woman maced a, a father and mother who were taking their child and a dog, and they weren't wearing a mask, alone in the park. Eating lunch. No, I don't think it was Seattle. San Diego. That's right, San Diego. But you knew it started with an S. You knew it was on the West Coast. I'm trying to bail you out of a, of a, a 1,500-mile error. That's just, just, that's who I am. All right, so I am going to, uh, go to your calls. As soon as they're up there, we have the lines lit. And by the way, I might add, if there is a difference who is more frightened, does that lead to some tension between the two of you? I mean, ideally you're both equally not frightened or equally frightened. My wife and I are equally not frightened. I actually believe that Franklin Roosevelt was right during the Depression when he said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." If you said that today, you would be considered a Trump supporter, which gives you an idea of how things have changed, that what the most revered liberal said is now considered right-wing. All right, let's begin here. And you know, I just had a sense that the first call would be from Prescott, Arizona. It's eerie that it turned out that way. Jim in Prescott, Arizona, hi.

Yes, Mr. Prager, how did you know Prescott? That's amazing.

It's amazing, it is truly, I agree.

Uh, okay.

Thank you.

For your answer, your question, in my life, um, hands down, without exception, uh, my daughter, my wife, my mother, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, um, no question, no exception. Every woman I know is more afraid of this virus than every man I know.

Well, first of all, I commend you for saying sisters-in-law and not sister-in-laws. Oh, for that alone, it was worth taking your call. You, you give me hope for the English language. Do you have a—

I'm with you. I'm with you. Thank you.

Yes. So, uh, you're married and your, your wife is one of those, correct?

Yes.

Yeah.

And do you have a daughter?

Absolutely wants me to take a mask everywhere I go, every time I go anywhere.

Uh, and you have a daughter?

Yeah.

How old is she?

She's 20.

She— is she staying with you now?

Yes, yes, she's back home for now.

Do you have a son?

Yes, I do. He is 16 and he is— he leans more my direction when it comes to a mask.

Do your— does your wife, or do your wife and daughter watch more news than you do?

No, they don't.

So it's built in, is your theory? Yeah, that's what I see.

That's a good way to put it, yes.

And how are you handling that? With good humor or a little annoyed or both? I have learned when to keep my mouth shut. Certainly not on talk radio.

Well, yes. Dang it, good point. Dang.

Yes, bless you. I have learned to keep my mouth shut in the house, but if I could tell a couple of million people, no problem. All right, there's a vote for all— every female he knows, even sisters-in-law, bless his soul, are more worried. All right, and let's go to Alex in Los Angeles. Alex, hi.

Hey Dennis, this is Alex.

Um, we actually know each other.

I've worked at PragerU.

Um, but, uh, good to hear you, Alex.

Hi. In my experience, it's been the ladies because, uh, with our—

I'm getting married in a few weeks and we've actually had a really big issue that my fiancée and I think is kind of funny, that the bridesmaids are the ones who have been, uh, not all of them, but you know, that some of them have been afraid to go to the pre-wedding events and even the wedding itself.

But none of the groomsmen.

The groomsmen are all gung-ho, uh, ready to go for it.

They don't care. Um, and, uh, same thing with like significant others of male guests.

It's like the girlfriends or Uh, not the wives so much, but the girlfriends that have kind of been afraid for them to go.

What about your wife-to-be? Your wife-to-be?

Oh, she is aggressively not afraid.

I mean, she, um, is very outspoken and very brave. She's an awesome lady, part of why I'm marrying her.

I'm happy for you, Alex. Terrific guy. We'll be back in a moment. Who's more afraid? Amongst those you know, not— don't theorize. Among the men and women you know, who is more afraid? We return in a moment. Male-Female Hour. I'm Dennis Prager.

There are about 700 Uyghurs, mostly women, who are forced to make sneakers for a company that is a long-term supplier for the company that we know as Nike.

Hang on, hang on.

I don't want anybody to miss this. So there is a slave labor camp where they make sneakers, and that company feeds its products into the factories that make sneakers for Nike.

Gordon?

Yeah, this is a Nike supplier. So Nike works directly with the company that maintains what is a camp. It's got high walls, barbed wire, watchtowers, and really looks like a small concentration camp. It is a factory. This company has had a relationship with Nike for over 3 decades. This particular facility makes 8 million pairs of shoes a year, almost all of them for Nike. Nike says in a statement that it doesn't use forced or indentured labor, but indeed we know that it It does, because Washington Post reporting from All right, it's the Male-Female Hour.

I'm Dennis Prager. By the way, I do want to remind you it's perfectly appropriate given the subject, who's more afraid in the circle that you know, the men or the women, that there is an anti-fear science-based website called flattenthefear.com, and, uh, it's superb. I've had some of the people on, the doctors who, who make it up, and it might be very helpful to you and to any, anyone you know to give you the medical basis for having less fear. Certainly that is the dominant Reaction today is fear. Nobody would have believed that as August approaches this weekend, there's still a lockdown in the vast majority of the country. I'm speaking in Wyoming and Montana. They're obviously not locked down. I'm going next month, but it's very rare. I went from, uh, I don't know, 100 speeches a year to 5, to flying— from flying every week to flying 3 times in, uh, 6 months. Anyway, it's called flattenthefear.com. This— the, uh, terrific job Prius Network put it out. flattenthefear.com. All right, who's more afraid So far there have been 2 votes that the females in the, in that world, but I'm trying to take calls fairly. Tony in Ada, Oklahoma.

Hi.

Hello, Dennis.

Yeah, yes, sir.

I wouldn't say that I'm afraid, but I have more respect for it than my wife does.

Well, the line between respect and fear is a thin one.

Yes, sir.

So that, that's fascinating. And how does it manifest itself? You're less likely to go out, or mask wearing? How does it manifest itself?

Oh, when I go into businesses, I like to put on the mask. We live out in the country, so it's not the big deal around my house. But she's liable to go to a barrel race or anything and just not even wear a mask. I don't know. She just figures that, uh, if, if she's going to get it, God's going to let her get it. If not, he'll take care of her.

Oh, so it's, it's a religious conviction that, that minimizes the fear in her case?

Yes, sir.

Uh-huh.

Are you as religious as she Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

Um, but we have a stepdaughter that, that I take care of more than she does. So, and she's not, um, in very good health, so I have to watch myself a little closer, I guess.

The stepdaughter is not in good health?

No, sir.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, thank you.

Well, thank you. God bless you. I'm a big fan of Oklahoma. It's like one of the last outposts of American values to be. All right, so there was a vote for the husband being somewhat more, uh, respectful, if you will. All right, and, uh, let's go to Darina in Omak, Washington. The famous Darina of Omak. Hi.

Well, actually it was Okanagan, but it's hard to pronounce. So my view is that men are a little bit more concerned. It seems like the doctors that I came into contact with are more often male. My husband is more concerned. My grandson is more concerned. And I think because my friends are Christian women, I'm a Christian, and we accept the change in the future and rely on faith more than the men do.

That's exactly what the caller from Oklahoma just said.

I couldn't agree with Tony more than, than what he said. I mean, you know, a man is in the position to protect his family. A woman is in position to nurture a family. And I think that we try to be a little bit more pessimistic— I mean, optimistic rather than pessimistic.

Well, thank you. Well, look, you see, this is— I, I did not have a clear vision in my mind. If I— if prior to this hour, if you'd have asked me, in the broad swath of hundreds of millions of people in America, which sex is more likely to be more afraid, or more likely to be afraid, I would have said marginally women. I— but it, it's a hunch, and it's, again, it's a hunch based on some of the, uh, some of the things that I see with regard to a deeper concern with masks. But I, I don't have any scientific basis for them, but I'm, I'm very open with you. So, but I, and I'm completely open to hearing your calls, obviously. Okay, let's see here. In, uh, Donna in Camarillo, California. Hi.

Hi, Dennis. Thank you for the work you do. First off, you helped me get through a lot of frustrating long days.

Yes, thank you.

I appreciate it. And at our house, uh, I think we're about equally afraid, um, or not afraid afraid, but we're at the same level. I think I'm a little less so, and when I wear a mask, I do it in a very crowded situation, but out on the street, no, I don't. And I think some of my— what could be my fear is held in abeyance because I'm sort of ticked off at how— and I understand people have health problems, So just counting those, I'm sort of frustrated and angered with how soon we all retreat into a position of just total fear. And my parents were of the greatest gen— from the greatest generation. They died recently. And I think to myself, I'm so glad they aren't here. To see how America has responded to that.

Right. Well, and of course, not to mention the desire to undo America that characterizes one of the political parties. I know they would have thought, why did we sacrifice? What did we sacrifice for? I asked that question. The guys at Normandy died for American liberty, and American liberty security are crapped on. But that's, that's a separate issue anyway. Uh, when you walk around Camarillo, an area in California I know well, when you walk around there without a mask, uh, are you one of the few?

No, actually there's a fair number who will go out without masks.

And okay. You know, because it's more— I mean, it's not a centralized big city. I know Camarillo. All right, interesting. We return.

Explain for those who aren't familiar, who are the Uyghurs?

Yes, indeed. Dennis Prager here. Fascinating hour, the male-female hour on who's more afraid. At this time, the male or female, or males or females in your life? And it seems to be thus far in the calls, but I'm very fair because I obviously, I could skew it in either direction if I choose calls to make a point, but I'm not. I don't choose calls to make a point. I'm choosing them to be actually even. Oh, and, and by the way, there, as, as I say, there may not be a pattern. All right, let's, uh, go to, uh, Granville, Illinois. Are you familiar with Granville? You're not, so you don't know. I'm not being cute. You don't know all the Chicago suburbs. There were so many of them. I get it. Do we know all the LA suburbs? I wonder if somebody could call in say they're from X or Y and I would not have heard of it. I don't think that's possible. But you grew up— when did you leave Chicago? How old were you? Early 20s? Okay, so I don't— that, that's a little, you know. Uh, Peg Grant. Is Granville a suburb of Chicago?

Hi Dennis. No, it is not. We are downstate, which is everything outside of Chicago, even if it's north.

That's hilarious. That is— you know what that reminds me of? It's like in New York State, they say Albany is upstate New York. Yeah, it's very far from Buffalo. Well, so where is Granville? And don't give me by, by hilarious, you know, oh, it's, you know, 20 miles from Buggersville.

So, well, we're an hour from anything. It's on really I-80. I-80, which runs east to west across the country. We're right in the middle.

So what is— what are you an hour from that I would have heard of?

Oh yeah, I was going to say Blinkersville, but you already nixed that.

That is hilarious. You are an hour away from Blinkersville?

Not— no, not really. About an hour and a half from Chicago, I would say.

Uh-huh. All right, great. So by the way, talking about— so you're in— I guess it's, it's a small town, I assume, right?

It is. Yes.

Do people— so what's the story there? Is everybody wearing a mask outside?

No.

Illinois has kind of opened up. And but it's interesting. My adult daughters who live in the San Francisco Bay Area, one was home last week. She couldn't believe that we were walking around outside without masks. She's been so indoctrinated.

Right. So did she walk around without a mask?

Outside, she did. Um, and inside we do too, mainly because I don't want to terrify people. I, I'm not convinced of the efficacy, but you know, I'll wear it.

So meaning what, are restaurants open in your city?

Yes. Yeah. They opened up, um, in, uh, inside, outside first and then inside with distancing and Sometimes the waitstaff wears masks. Sometimes they don't. You wear your mask in, then you sit down and take it off.

So is that true for all of Illinois or outside of Chicago?

Outside of Chicago. So my sister-in-law came down from the suburbs last weekend and she said everybody wears the mask when they go in.

This is the—

there's a perception of small-town America as just a better quality of life, which I have always believed, but now—

well, the last 5 months, yes. Yeah, we're not getting the pandemic, we're not having riots. Exactly, that's right.

That's exactly right. All right, so to answer my question, what is the story in your house?

Well, neither of us are particularly afraid. My husband has to be more cautious because he has a lot of health issues. Um, so that makes us cautious, but among my large family and our large circle of friends, the fear seems to be more for women, much more on political ideological lines than gender.

You're very bright, you know, you speak well. You speak well.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah.

Are you aware of that?

Well, uh, geez, there's no easy way to answer that. If I say yes, I sound like an arrogant, uh, and if I say no—

You're cracking me up. I so assumed that you would react that way, but no, I'm saying it because it's true. I love your show. Good, I'm glad you do. I love it too, by the way. So, and that's not self-adulation. No, no, I love talking to people like you. So, so, uh, you're right. I, I think more, much more than what they call gender, but the word is sex.

I was going to ask because I'm having trouble with gender versus sex versus binary, or what is it?

Oh yes, in a binary. Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, well, you and I probably believe that there are two sexes. A very old-fashioned view. It's also science-based. Yeah, she's right though. It's ideological more than gender.

About 1.4 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits once again last week. The new data just released. It is of course a discouraging sign. Workers have now filed more than 52 million initial jobless claims since layoffs Layoffs spiked in mid-March, according to the New York Post, suggesting about a third of the American labor force has been out of work at some point during the pandemic. Lawmakers are still trying to hash out what, what to do, whether to extend that $600 a week boost to weekly unemployment benefits. It is a tough debate, no easy answers. For me, I believe the answer has to be we got to get people back to work. We have to get people back to work. We have to acknowledge that the virus is here. You have to be careful. And incidentally, back to the lesson of my, my friend, uh, the president has urged everyone to wear a mask when you are in proximity to other people if you can't socially distance. I was pretty mindful in In my office, we wear a mask. Everybody has a mask in the office. But if I'm in the office with somebody, if I'm in an office setting and I'm 6, 7, 8 feet away, you know, I take the mask off.

You have written it's not safe to keep schools closed, and you've got a paper about it. In the last minute and a half we have, why is it not safe to keep them closed?

Well, children are suffering tremendously in, in two ways. Number one is the lack of classroom instruction, and the idea that online Chat are a substitute for being taught by a teacher is, uh, laughable. There's no evidence that that's the case. Students have lost a tremendous amount of learning. They've been set back massively. And that's not just important in terms of them knowing things and their future ability to be effective citizens and so that has enormous health effects as well because one of the best established relationships we have in public health is the relationship between educational attainment and mortality and life expectancy.

All right, everybody. Dennis Prager, male-female hour. We should do an hour. That would be very worthwhile. This hour is on who's more afraid, the male or female, or males or females in your life. It's pretty divided thus far, the results. But what I think almost unanimous— there would be unanimous agreement— is the division by ideology rather than by your chromosomes. And overwhelmingly, the further left you get, the more fear. I think that that is one of the most significant realizations about left and right. The left, left people on the left live in constant fear. That's a very big reason for the, uh, what animates them. All right, let's go, uh, to more of your calls here. And Dan in Cleveland, Ohio. Hello, Dan.

Hello, Dennis. I agree with you. That caller, uh, previous to me, she was, uh, very articulate and, uh, said a lot of things that made absolute sense, right? Uh, I thought I was going to be an anomaly being the husband in a relationship, be, uh, more worried than a wife. Um, because in, in our history, my wife and I, I am the calm one. I'm relaxed. I'm constantly saying, don't worry, you know, you're getting a bank loan, you know, don't worry, no anxiety, everything's going to work out. Always does. And then COVID springs up and I became the paranoid one. Um, now I consume a lot more news than she does by far.

Well, that was my question earlier.

Yes. Uh, she is in medical, she's a medical professional. She runs a memory care facility. So I kind of expected her situation to be a greater realization than mine because I work in a small shop. Uh, so I figured she'd have a greater fear considering the population she works amongst and stuff like that. However, she handled it like a champ. And as time passed, I would have to grant her a lot of credit for calming my nerves about it. Um, so yeah, I thought I was going to hear everybody say, well, my wife is, or my girlfriend or my daughter. Yeah, no, no, that's right.

It has been a revelatory in that way. I, I, so Uh, would you acknowledge that your consumption of news is a factor?

Absolutely. Yes.

And wait, wait, wait, forgive me. What, uh, what channel do you, uh, tune into or what network?

Uh, I, I get my most of mine through what you would call modern prints. So my phone, I read articles more than I do watch. Um, but you know, anything from the Wall Street Journal, occasionally the New York Times, but I know what that was, that what that means. But, um, I think that for me the calming effect came— I'm almost embarrassed to say it— but from Dr. Drew Pinsky. I, for some reason, I started tuning into him and he was very rational, very calm, uh, has more medical expertise than, you know, Jake Tapper. Um, and I started to see it a little more through the lens of medicine than, um sensationalized media. And, and then I got my wife. She, she works in the field.

She's—

she knows what flu season means to nursing homes. She knows what any kind of—

you said you thought you would be the anomaly. Your wife is, because the people in, in the medical professions are generally more worried.

I, I've had the opposite experience. My whole family is medical. And they've all been very calm. I have pharmacists, doctors, nurses, my wife, et cetera. Um, and they've all said, uh, looking at the data, looking at the numbers in a way that I am not qualified to do, they would say things, um, you know, they would tell me that the death rate is going to fall once we test more. They're obvious mathematical—

Hi, how are you? Well, thank you for taking my call.

Thank you.

Yeah, I was calling to say, I, my husband and I have 5 children. They're all grown now. We have 4 daughters and 1 son and nobody is like overly like scared or frightened, but my one daughter just became an RN in January and she, her first assignment was the COVID floor. And she said she was, is more afraid of what she is seeing on the news and in the media than the actual disease itself. She said, mom and dad, keep the TV off.

Wow.

Keep the news off.

Uh, your daughter, should make a video saying that it is scarier on TV than in the COVID ward at my hospital where I work as an RN. I believe that the damage that the news media have done to this country, uh, they— in these— in, in the competition for the most damaging institution in America It's a tough one. Colleges are definitely up there. High schools are getting there. But I believe the media are the worst in every, in every instance, about every subject. It's, uh, that, that's, that was very, very interesting. Truly, I would like to meet her. She really, she should make a video. I think it could go viral. All right, Channel Islands, California, and Mark. Hello.

Yes, hello, Dennis.

Hi.

Hey, um, shortly before Christmas I took a trip to Vegas. A few weeks later I developed a rash. Um, I had that rash for about 2 months and I decided to take a certain tea called hyssop. After I used that tea, the rash was gone. Gone in about 36 hours.

All right, uh, I, uh, I don't know what to make of that, but it's good to know. All right, anyway, I have to let you go because of the time. By the way, the Channel Islands, that's a nice remote place. I'll bet you they're not wearing many masks there. People are leaving cities, and for good reason. I believed that my whole life.

Trending now on The Larry Elder Show, a Brooklyn woman has been killed over complaining about fireworks.

And according to the New York Post, she followed the borough president's lead advice urging New Yorkers to settle disputes neighbor to neighbor rather than calling 911. So she confronted some people setting off illegal fireworks in her neighborhood, and she was shot and killed. Her mother said she watched the news and she heard it, meaning that she should not call the police when she has a dispute with a neighbor. Quote, it was probably in the back of her mind, end of quote. The borough president of Brooklyn said that people should talk to their neighbors about a, quote, nonviolent act, close quote, rather than call the police and risk a, quote, heavy-handed, close quote, police response.

The woman's mother said, quote, it's not a good idea. You don't know who you're approaching. These kids are not respectful anymore.

They're more ruthless, close quote. One was shot 8 times simply for asking them to take their dangerous display away from a group of playing kids. She was asking him to remove their fireworks from kids because it was too dangerous, and she was shot and killed. So I guess that worked out, huh?

That's of course the Bari Weiss story. This individual who worked for the New York Times was meant to be a face of bringing in more diverse political opinions, and of course what happened? She had to resign because as a Jewish contributor, an employee, she was called a Nazi by her fellow workers at the New York Times had to have little axe emojis next to her name on their internal messaging system. Emily, is this a flash-in-the-pan irrelevance, or is the Bari Weiss story, from your point of view as a cultural editor for Federalist, indicative of a far larger problem?

This is a much, much larger problem, and it's something that we used to sort of think of as a canary in the coal mine. Every time something like this happened, but we're way beyond that point.

Kathy, Colorado, neither of us in our family, no fear whatsoever.

Whoa.

Richard in Louisville, Kentucky, my wife is more afraid in every area. Okay, Brent in Los Angeles: I have a fear of fascism, not the flu. I'm with you. Audrey in Colorado Springs— I wonder if Audrey knows Kathy in Colorado Springs— I'm not married, but none of my friends and family have fear. Kathy in Colorado Springs, how do you explain that in your whole family there's no fear?

Well, I guess that I would say, um, there is one family with fear, and you'll— it should be no surprise to find out that they live in the Twin Cities. And, um, we sent two daughters to college there. One of them escaped, uh, and the other one, um, is still there and very much afraid. But, um, I think we have very strong faith to begin with, and so, so I always—

so that's an interesting thing. Does that mean that you believe that God won't allow you to die from it? What does that mean?

Not at all, not at all. If he's appointed us to die from whatever, it doesn't really matter. We really believe that our days are numbered before were born. And if this is the way he decides to take us, then maybe it'll happen, but we're not afraid of it at all.

Right. Um, no, I think that's important that people hear that religious people are less afraid, generally speaking, but not because they don't think God will allow them to get COVID or die from it, which is— would be totally irrational. I mean, that God protects you but not anybody else, or only a few others. But religious people properly don't walk around in such fear. We continue with The Dennis Prager Show.

Well, if they drop out, if they don't complete high school, high school dropouts live on average 4 to 6 years shorter lives than high school graduates. And so the loss of life years just from the loss of classroom instruction and educational attainment could dwarf what we've seen from this virus. But the second way is the social-emotional development and the isolation and the lack of contact with other humans, which children need as much as everyone needs, probably more, is, is really brutal. And Frankly, and a new study of this just came out in Wisconsin with sky-high numbers, depression is up around 60 or 70% among students who've been subject to these school closures. And we're gonna see suicides go up among the high school students. The number 2 cause of death in this country after accidents is suicide. We lose about 3,000 high school age students a year to suicide in this country. We've lost about 20 to this virus in that age bracket. 20.

We're going to be getting back to Mr. Biden in just a second, some of the things he said about President Trump being racist. Just, it's just Unreal. This is a man, Joe Biden, who has lied and said that the NAACP has endorsed him when the NAACP came out and said, excuse me, we're a 501(c)(3) corporation, we can't endorse anybody. Oops. Lied about trying to visit Nelson Mandela and getting arrested in his attempt. He said he was with Andrew Young. Andrew Young was the first Black ambassador to United Nations, marched with MLK, was there when MLK was shot at that motel in Tennessee. And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, and nope. And I've told you, Biden has for decades talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in Black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware. Zero evidence he ever did. Now, why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being Black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of Black people? What it shows you is he thinks of Black people as stupid, obviously not capable of investigating these false claims, and by the way, as props.

A man that I have had on over the course of years, distinguished conservative scholar, currently the professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley visiting fellow, Hoover Institution at Stanford. And that is John Yoo, professor again, professor of law at Berkeley. Just put out a book, Defender in Chief: Donald Trump's Fight for Presidential Power, and he makes the case that in fact he has protected the Constitution to perhaps even his surprise. Professor Yoo, welcome back to the Dennis Prager Show.

Dennis, thanks for having me, and I'm happy to say I'm not on Twitter, otherwise I'd probably be banned for writing this book.

That's correct. I think that that is right. Let me ask you, I always ask this of conservatives, I ask this of black conservatives, I ask this of conservatives in academia, how do your colleagues react to you?

I think it's with mild curiosity, sometimes blending into disdain or even hate, they don't know that many conservatives. I think that's the most important function that maybe being the sole conservative on my faculty can be, is to always make sure conservative views get expressed, even though I know 99% of my colleagues might disagree. At least you can force them to confront a different perspective and different ideas. That's what the university used to be about. And I sometimes worry— not sometimes, I worry a lot— that we're coming to feel or experience an orthodoxy on our campuses that seeks to drive out conservative ideas and only teach a certain set of views. And I really worry about the colleges and universities in our country, even conceding that they are the best ones in the world. But if we keep this up, we're going to lose that advantage. To places in China and Germany and even England, France.

Yeah, that is exactly right. The book is Defender in Chief, John Yoo, professor of law at Berkeley. Why did you write it? Why did you write the book?

Uh, I might have started out, I think, like you were, Dennis, back at the 2016 election, kind of skeptical or wary of Donald Trump. And so the reason why I was, was because he's a populist, and populists usually don't like constraints on their power. They often try to find ways around the Constitution. People like, you know, FDR would be the best example. But over the last few years, as we've bounced around from issue to issue, controversy to controversy, I found myself agreeing more and more with the positions that Donald Donald Trump was taking on the Constitution, and I came to think that it was his critics, his opponents, who are the ones who are doing exactly what they accuse Donald Trump of doing, of trying to overthrow the constitutional order or rip up our practices and institutions. It's not Donald Trump, it's his critics who say things like, "Let's get rid of the Electoral College," which is the method we've used to pick presidents for over 200 now, or let's pack the Supreme Court and add 6 new justices to the court because you don't like the way the court's moving under President Trump, or who say let's have lots more independent prosecutors and counsels who will criminalize our politics, or who want to nationalize the economy in the service of some great Green New Deal. When you look at it, it seemed to me that Trump, the populist, actually became the unexpected defender of traditional constitutional approaches and understandings and our institutions that we've had for hundreds of years.

Yep, it makes perfect sense what you're saying. Does he know it? I know it's a funny question.

Yeah, no, no, that's a great question because, uh, you know, some critics have said exactly that. No, he's not standing up for constitutional principle, he's fighting for his political survival. I couldn't agree more. When he's fighting off the Mueller investigation and this now looks like more and more this imaginary Russia collusion claim, or when he's fighting on impeachment against the idea that he committed treason, he's fighting for his political self-survival, self-preservation. But that's the point of the constitutional system, as well expressed by the Framers. James Madison said in the Federalist Papers, Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. And he said the interests of the man should be that of the interests of his place. And by that they meant they expected the person we elected president, the people we sent to Congress, to pursue their own self-interests. What they wanted them to do was constantly fight, and that constant conflict, that trench political warfare between the two branches, would be the real check on our government, not to rely on the courts, not to rely on what they call parchment barriers and writing, but to have one great branch of the government fight the other great branch of government. And by doing that, it would make sure— that system would make sure that our individual liberty would be preserved from an ever-expansive federal government. So when President Trump fights for himself, yes, of course he's fighting for himself, right?

He's playing the greater constitutional So it's part of the irony of this whole thing. The populist fighting for himself is actually the constitutionalist.

Correct?

Yeah, I think that's— yeah, yes, that's— and that's a theme.

By the way, you mentioned James Madison, so I have a question. I have no idea what you'll say, and you may not even be able to answer it. So you teach law, obviously, UC Berkeley, correct?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. What percentage of your students could identify James Madison?

Actually, I have a pretty good answer for this. So when I start teaching constitutional law, I teach a big class of, you know, new students. I do a poll because I need to know how much history they know, because I don't think you can teach the Constitution without understanding our history. So I say, how many of you have heard of the New Deal? So So about 3/4 to half the hands go up. How many of you know what Reconstruction is? Less than half the class's hands go up. How many of you have read the Federalist Papers? You know, less than a quarter of the hands go up. So I'm afraid to say— and this is consistent with what we know from other polls. For example, there was this important poll done at Yale which polled freshmen entering Yale and then freshmen graduating from Yale about standard knowledge of American history and civics, and it found that after 4 years at Yale, student knowledge on those school— on those tests, their scores went down.

That—

it's in keeping with my theory about the, uh, about college makes you stupid.

Uh, I didn't know that.

And you have to pay $200,000 to get stupider.

You're a live wire. I really enjoy you. The book, the book, folks, is Defender in Chief about Donald Trump, and it's, it's, it's actually uplifting. It's good to read at this time. It's of course up at, uh, at dennisprager.com. And, uh, I, I want to ask you a number of other questions to get your views when we come back. I'm very curious. I want to, I want to ask him about John Roberts. It was somewhat of an enigma to me. And the book again is Defender in Chief. Look, the fact is, when you, when you sift through the propaganda, he has essentially been a great president. That's the, that's the amazing thing.

One, I get to continue my conversation with Roger Stone. Roger, I still cannot get over, uh, the moment a week ago, uh, I heard you were— your sentence was commuted, and then shortly thereafter you declared rather boldly that you'd been born again, that you'd given your life to Christ. And I said to my wife, God's hand is on this country because not only do we have a president who would commute your horrible sentence, but we have people like you being willing to say what you said on a program that was obviously watched by a lot of people who weren't looking forward to that part of it? They just were happy for you and for the commutation?

Well, I knew when I went on Sean's show, I knew that secular liberal elitists in the media would mock me, as they have. There's a big piece in Washington Monthly, "Oh, Roger Stone's converted to Christ, what a joke. It's a head fake, it's a ploy." Okay, we'll see. It doesn't matter to me what they think, because all that matters is what what he thinks, and he knows what's in my heart. It'll be proven over time. So I'm not worried about that. What we see happening today is an epic struggle between dark and light. This, this is it for the United States. We're going to hurtle over the cliff to globalism and face 1,000 years of darkness unless we win the next election and that we then move to to preserve our constitutional government and end the epic two-party duopoly control of this country.

Workers have now filed more than 52 million initial jobless claims since layoffs spiked in mid-March, according to the New York Post, suggesting about a third of the American labor force has been out of work at some point during the pandemic. Lawmakers are still trying to hash out what, what to do, whether to extend that $600 a week boost to weekly unemployment benefits. It is a tough debate, no easy answers. For me, I believe the answer has to be we got to get people back to work. We have to get people back to work. We have to acknowledge that the virus is here. You have to be careful. And incidentally, Finally, back to the lesson of my friend. The president has urged everyone to wear a mask when you are in proximity to other people, if you can't socially distance. I was pretty mindful in my office. We wear a mask. Everybody has a mask in the office. But if I'm in the office with somebody, if I'm in an office setting, I'm 6, 7, 8 feet away, you know, I take the mask off. Well, this particular coworker and friend, the other day, the day that they started feeling symptoms, that morning I was in the office with them, but I would say 7, 8 feet away, and I instinctively take the mask off and That person even said at that time, because they always have a mask—

You have written it's not safe to keep schools closed, and you've got a paper about it. In the last minute and a half we have, why is it not safe to keep them closed?

Oh, I never—

well, children are suffering tremendously in, in two ways. Number one is the lack of classroom instruction and the idea that—

yeah, no, I'm totally— yeah. Hey everybody, Dennis Prager here. You know, uh, the— what did they say? What was it?

F—

what was the term? Friends of, uh, of the Clintons? What was it?

FOB.

FOB. So what does— what does that stand for? Friends of Bill. So I just want to say, you can dissent. Just want you to know you are an FOD. You're a friend of Dennis Prager.

Excellent.

He's thinking. He was thinking. Yeah, I really do enjoy you. This is John Yoo, Defender-in-Chief, and this is how Donald Trump is actually the great protector of the Constitution, not to mention the United States. You know, All he has done has come to people like you and me as this, not even pleasant surprise, almost pleasant shock. Is that fair to say?

Oh yeah, I would have said this role of defending the Constitution was completely unexpected. You would have thought that he'd be the one trying to get around the Constitution as a great populist.

Mm-hmm. Yep.

And I think—

No, no, in general, what— so many of his policies have been just so good for the country. This COVID curse is an unbelievable thing. So I said right before the break, I'm very curious to get your take on John Roberts. Is he a conservative? Is he not sure what he is? Is he a liberal? What makes him tick?

Um, I think in some ways he's worse than a conservative or liberal. He's a politician and not a judge. And let me explain why. He had this case this term, the Louisiana abortion case, which said doctors who perform abortions in Louisiana have to be able to admit patients at the local hospital, the same rules that apply to ophthalmologists, say. 4 years ago, an identical law came up to the Supreme Court from Texas, and John Roberts said that law is fine. He lost. The liberals plus Justice Kennedy struck down that law. Yet 4 years later, suddenly Chief Justice Roberts does a complete 180 and joins the 4 liberals, just as Justice Kennedy did, and struck down the Louisiana abortion law. It makes no sense. In his opinion, he says, "Oh, I'm doing it to respect precedent and stare decisis," but the reasons why we were so Respect precedent don't apply here. What I think he's doing, I think it's unfortunate, it's the same thing he did in 2012 when he upheld Obamacare even though he initially voted to strike it down, was he thinks that the court is going to become some kind of political target of the Democrats, particularly in an election year. He's afraid of these claims that the Democrats are going to pack the courts, and so he's trying to show the court is more moderate than Democrats think. He's trying to lower its salience as a target for political attacks. But the problem with that is, A, he's not doing his job, which is, as he called it, being an umpire calls balls and strikes.

He's not an umpire.

He thinks he's the commissioner of Major League Baseball right now. And then second, it only invites more political attacks on him and more political attacks on the courts because they know— the Democrats know that it works.

What an intelligent answer. You explained him to me. It's not ideological. That's right. So his fear of being attacked, is it personal or largely court-based?

So he would say it's court-based. He would say what he's doing is trying to protect the independence of the judiciary from political meddling. He thinks he's steering the court court in between conservatives and liberals so that the politicians will leave the court alone.

But Chief—

but Justice Scalia long ago reminded us, I think, that when the court does that, it's not playing its constitutional role, which is just to decide cases and controversies. And as Justice Thomas has said before, the more you take note of politics when you do your job as a judge, the less you'll have any principle. You won't have any anchor. You won't have any direct— you won't have a rudder to direct the ship. You're just going to get blown left and right by the prevailing winds. That's what people elected to Congress and the president are supposed to do. They're supposed to reflect popular wishes, not the courts.

It almost seems like— it's almost like it is— this is supernatural force working against having a conservative court. It's like no matter how many appointments we make, we conservatives that is, it still ends up a liberal court in many instances.

Oh, well, this judge, I worked for Larry Silberman here in Washington. He gave a great speech explaining why this happened, because at the time, Linda Greenhouse was the New York Times reporter who covered this court for 25, 30 years. And so if you do the liberal thing, if you move to the middle, you get praised in the New York Times, you get praised by law professors. So Judge Silverman gave a famous speech, he said, "This is what we really should call the greenhouse effect." That's right.

That's really, that's exactly right. I have said, with regard to clergy, talk show hosts, just to give two examples of who I've said it, The moment— or, and politicians— the moment you care what the New York Times says about you, you will compromise your principles. And that's right, that has been a guiding thing in me. I don't care what they say. I only care if they misquote me, but they otherwise, they could have a list of terrible things. Are you attacked, is, or, or, you know, somewhat left alone?

Oh, people attack me all the time at Berkeley. I gotta say, I like being around liberals. I guess I'm a contrarian. I don't mind being attacked by them. I love showing up to workshops and asking uncomfortable questions. I love being a symbol of democracy and free markets surrounded by a sea of Marxists.

God, are you healthy? That's what you are. I accuse you of being healthy. John, you spoke— Defender in Chief is up at DennisPrager.com. You are a joy, and I look forward to you making a PragerU video.

Oh, I would love it. That's the best way to beat the monopoly of the left wing in the higher education, is to evade it with the truth.

Exactly. All right, see you soon. Again, the book Defender in Chief, it's up at DennisPrager.com. That's right, evade the academia with the truth. That's what PragerU is doing. I, I don't read all the attacks. If I read all the attacks on PragerU, it's all I would do. I would have no time to do anything else. You know what, if I may be personal, because I am personal, uh, I One of the things keeping me sane, and it's not even the lockdown that I avoid it as much as possible. I go out to eat all the time.

It doesn't matter what law enforcement you are. You could be a county sheriff or a member of the Secret Service, or, or, uh, I don't know, FBI, work in the Justice Department. If you're in law enforcement, if you're a federal agent, if you are part of the effort to bring peace and lawfulness to a community, if you wear a badge, you are hated by a a lot of people of a particular political party, and it's not the Republicans. Here's what Biden said yesterday. He was doing a virtual event, and I don't know that people were shocked that he said it, maybe surprised, because there's an effort to present Vice President Biden as a moderate. There's an effort to say this is a nice guy who's right down the middle. There's nothing nice or down the middle about this.

And what President Trump has done in going—

his, his spreading of racism, the way he deals with, with, with people based on the color of their skin, their national origin, where they're from, is absolutely Absolutely sickening. No sitting president has ever done this.

Never, never, never.

No Republican president has done this.

No Democratic president.

We've had racists and they've existed.

They've tried to get elected president.

He's the first one that has.

The first American racist president, says Joe Biden.

Just go back. You've been through living hell. Most of the country, when they found out that there were frogmen behind your house and tons of SUVs and stuff, people like me— and I think this is apart from my political affiliation as a conservative— As an American, I am deeply infuriated and disgusted that in my country, my free America, we would treat citizens this way.

The raid itself was kind of a galvanizing experience, as you might expect, because normally when people are charged with nonviolent white-collar process crimes, the government contacts your lawyer, says, we're going to charge your client, please bring him in, and I would have come come in voluntarily. So it was a bit of a mystery. I was expecting a phone call. Instead, I got a visit from 29 heavily armed FBI agents at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. They arrived in 17 armored vehicles. There was a helicopter overhead, frogmen jumping off, you know, off boats in a canal in my backyard. It was just an over-the-top show. My greatest concern at that moment was not for myself. It was for my wife. My wife is hearing impaired. Without her hearing aids, she's totally deaf. So she didn't hear any of this commotion. I see FBI agents storming up to the second story. She wakes up looking down the barrel of two rifles. She doesn't know if it's a home invasion. She has no idea what's happened. They don't know she's deaf. So if they shout a command at her and she doesn't obey, I'm afraid they're going to shoot her. I mean, that flashed before me. And I yelled up the stairs, be careful, she's deaf! But they didn't really care. Then they actually frog marched her out in the middle of the street in a nightgown and bare feet. She's 73 years old and she has rheumatoid arthritis, and she's—

And find herself at a Trump rally. And how did she react? One of the most powerful videos we've ever put out. The latest video from Prager University. See it at prageru.com Where we teach what isn't taught. Hi, hello everybody, Dennis Prager, and one of the most powerful voices on the internet in the world is Breitbart, and they have an enormous readership, as they deserve, and then I saw this yesterday. Election interference. Google purges Breitbart from search results. So I have on the line the editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, Alex Marlow. Hi, Alex.

Dennis, it's always a pleasure to be back with you.

What is— what do you estimate your— the number of views you get? I don't know, day, week, year. What's the number?

Uh, the number's probably a couple hundred million a month in terms of views, and we reach about 25 million people in typical months. Of course, in an election year, Dennis, we're going to see those numbers probably close to double, or so you'd think, aside from the fact that there's lots of people in Silicon Valley who don't want that to be the case.

Exactly. That's what the article was about. When I saw the chart We'll put that article up at DennisPrager.com, link it to Breitbart. When I saw that chart, it is so obviously deceptive that results are skewed in favor of left and liberal sites, and then all the conservative sites are on the bottom. In other words, so why don't you tell people— because you use Biden, correct, as your example?

Again, we have multiple examples, but let me give you the top-line data that I'd love for your users and your readers and everyone who consumes your content. I know I always look at your newsletter as well. For everyone who wants the crib sheet, it starts with this. Google's global vice president said in a meeting that was supposed to be a meeting that's not open to the media. That we got footage of right after the 2016 election, that they want to make populism and nationalism a blip or a hiccup. Now, Dennis, I am a student of you, so I know when the left talks this way, I take them seriously. I do not think they are joking. I think they are very serious. So it turned out Breitbart, you know, is associated with nationalist and populist conservatism in the United States. So it was almost at that exact moment we noticed our Google traffic dropping, and it has dropped at various degrees throughout the last 4 years, throughout Trump's administration. And there are some key moments here that are important to note, in particular May 6th of this year where basically Breitbart's traffic from Google went down to zero unless you used the word Breitbart in a search. So, here is a Joe Biden example. If you search for the term Biden or Joe Biden the chances of you getting a Breitbart article is zero. There is no chance you will ever get to one unless you add the word Breitbart in it. So that means any potential voter who is looking for information on Biden is only gonna be getting essentially establishment media outlets. We looked at some of our competitors on the right. They performed very poorly in search. So it's not just Breitbart. We have obviously more access to our own data. But here are the other key pieces of data. Our search traffic, there is a statistic called Visibility Index. This is like the Nielsen score for search. This is if you see a Breitbart link that shows up in a Google search. Our Visibility Index, Dennis, is down 99.7% overall. So that means two-thirds of our traffic is gone, with the remaining third being if you put the word Breitbart in the headline. So I think this is 100% about influencing the election. It is about making it so that people who are not already Breitbart readers will not get Breitbart's take on the news and what's important. That's what it's all about. This is for all the marbles. They're rigging the election right now.

That's correct. That's exactly what is happening. That's why I began by asking how many views you get. How could you possibly be so low in the search results So you get hundreds of millions despite what Google is doing.

So if you look at the top news publishers according to Alexa.com, which is owned by Amazon, so not exactly a friend of Breitbart, over the past 5 years or so, the top 5 websites in news are always the same. It's CNN and the New York Times are 1 and 2. Breitbart, Fox, and the Washington Post are 3 through 5, and it kind of revolves within that, but that's always the grouping. So we're always top 5, and this is despite the fact that our traffic from Google is dropping off a cliff. Our traffic from Google makes up about 9% of our traffic. A typical mainstream media publication is gonna be getting 30 to 50%. Some people are getting over, like I think Forbes gets over half their traffic from Google searches.

All right, hold on there, Alex. Alex Marlow's editor-in-chief of Breitbart, what Google is doing to Breitbart and what Twitter did to us today. Relief Factor. Let me read— I don't have an excerpt. Oh yeah, Leon, Ohio. One Sunday morning I sat on my couch in so much pain I was in tears. That's the day I ordered Relief Factor. Following directions, in 8 days I found relief, only to get better and better. This is true. I mean, there are thousands of people who have written this. Go to relieffactor.com, you could read about it. Go to relieffactor.com. Simply listen, $19.95 for a 3-week try. Doesn't work in 3 weeks, it won't work, you threw out $20.

We're going to be Getting back to Mr. Biden in just a second, some of the things he said about, about President Trump being, uh, being racist, just— it's just unreal. This is a man, Joe Biden, who has lied and said that the NAACP has endorsed him when the NAACP came out and said, excuse me, we're a 501(c)(3) corporation, we can't endorse anybody. Oops. Lied about trying to visit Nelson Mandela and getting arrested in his attempt. He said he was with Andrew Young. Andrew Young was the first Black ambassador to United Nations, marched with MLK, was there when MLK was shot at that motel in Tennessee. And when he was asked about Biden's claim that the two of them attempted to, uh, visit Nelson Mandela when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and that they were arrested in doing so, he said, nope, nope, and nope. And I've told you, Biden has for decades Talked about how he would organize on Sunday mornings in Black churches and strategize how he and others would figure out ways to desegregate restaurants and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware. Zero evidence he ever did. Now, why is it people are angry at Rachel Dolezal for lying about being Black, but Joe Biden gets a pass for lying about all these things he claims he's done to advance the interests of Black people? What it shows you is he thinks of Black people as stupid. Obviously not capable of investigating these false claims.

And by the way, as props, I'll just show you how much I care, how much I care, how much I care. Never mind my policies are hurtful.

Never mind I'm going to oppose choice in schools even though urban parents want that.

And as a Jew who has taught Jewish history college, Brooklyn College specifically, written a book on antisemitism. I have some knowledge of the subject. America, it's really, it's the analogy between antisemitism and anti-Americanism is almost perfect. One of the two most hated countries, right? America and Israel.

And the, uh, incredible suppression of search results in Google. I mean, it's documentable. I'm going to do that. I should have done that during the break. I should have put in Biden. So you don't even come up like on the 6th page of results. You just don't come up.

Uh, I'm sure that if you scroll back far enough, but we scroll back quite a ways and you You really can't find it, Dennis. I mean, it is almost zero, a few specific terms. It's hard to find Breitbart content at all. We used to rank on thousands of terms. This is another industry standard for how to get your content to show up in Google, and now we rank in a couple of dozen terms. And we're not doing anything different aside from we've upped our game. We're trying to be more above board, to bring in more experts and use more top-level tools, the tools even recommended by Google. To make sure our game is buttoned up so that when I report things to you, you know I'm doing it with integrity. And we still see our results diminishing, diminishing, diminishing. It's so clearly political. You have to see the article to get the full picture.

Now, you put up the doctors who appeared in Washington, D.C. about the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and zinc. What happened then?

Yeah, so we nearly broadcast a livestream of a bunch of doctors Many of them board-certified or even double board-certified, which is the highest level of certification you can get. There are a lot of them affiliated with some of the most important institutions in the United States, like UCLA. Uh, these are not crackpots. These are people who are legitimate newsmakers who disagree with the orthodoxy that's being put out by the DC bureaucratic establishment, and their viewpoints We don't endorse them, Dennis. We didn't even know what they were going to say. We just knew that these are doctors in white coats who were going to opine on the biggest issue of the day. All we did was roll tape and this triggered the entire internet. After it got 17 million views, not only did it get removed from all the major platforms, Facebook, Google, Twitter, even some lesser tier platforms, the people who posted it, like Donald Trump Jr., started to get their accounts locked out.

That's what happened to PragerU. We're locked out of Twitter for, for, uh, linking to the— this video. I read it.

You don't even have to endorse it.

No, just linking it. We're, we're supposedly— and you too, obviously, uh, we are sending out misinformation with regard to the COVID virus, even though it's all doctor-based. It's completely doctor-based. And, and leading epidemiologist at Yale has written in Newsweek this week about all the tests that show how effective it is. Are they locking out Newsweek?

I haven't looked into Newsweek specifically, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is what's going to happen. I have a theory that I believe that the media establishment, which includes really especially the big tech giants, are trying to keep us all miserable and hopeless until we go to vote in November to make sure that Donald Trump loses. They think this is going to be one of the ways to get him out. And I'll tell you, Dennis, that these people in this video that are being censored are being censored by non-doctors who are totally anonymous, who are giving no basis for why they're pulling these things off the internet. And, and they might pull one quote that's out of place out of hours of content and use that to speak for the entire event and all of the decades of years of medicine that is being practiced by the people in these videos.

That's really something. Well, I gotta just tell you, you do a great job, and Breitbart.com is one of the most important sites in America. I'll say this publicly: if you only read the New York Times or only read Breitbart, you would have a much truer understanding of the world with the latter. So Keep up the good work, Alex. And, uh, one— oh yeah, one final question. What should we do about— what should we do about Google?

And, well, the first thing that we could— yeah, well, the first thing we can do is to vote for people who take the threat of big tech censorship seriously, which sadly is not all Republicans. This involves some primaries. You got to get people registered to vote, to vote against the Democratic left, which will do nothing. And if you have the option of Republicans who take this seriously, you have to take them. That's for starters. You also should pressure any congresspeople, any senators to start taking tech censorship seriously and to not accept money, which is de facto bribes from these big tech giants who are lobbying in Washington and trying to buy their way into permanent status where they cannot be touched in the United States. That's what's disturbing to me, Dennis, is that the entirety of the Washington political establishment has been whistling past the graveyard here. Big Tech controls the First Amendment in the United States. That is the message that is on the ballot coming up in November.

Excellent. Not what you said, but that you said it. All right, Alex, we'll stay in touch and keep up the good work.

Thank you, Dennis, as always. Really appreciate you and your audience.

Thank you. I appreciate me and my audience too. Isn't that something? I'm going to do that right, right during the break. I'm going to look, look up Biden, see if anything from Breitbart shows up. I have a riddle for you. I have the second riddle I've ever come up with when we come back.

4 years ago, 5 years ago, no one had heard the term deep state, much less been convinced that there was such a thing. We see that the threat is keener than ever.

It doesn't matter whether you refer to it as Dwight Eisenhower, one of the greatest presidents of my lifetime did, as the military-industrial complex, or you call it the deep state. It's the same thing. It's the permanent political establishment in place that is both Republicans and Democrats working together for oppressive policies, but mostly interested only in their own power and wealth. It is atheistic. It is not— they believe in no God. They believe in one kind of globalism. This world government, where we believe in the U.S. Constitution that essentially was, you know, was built on the Christian values of a Christian God. So we're going to find out very soon, because there is now no question whatsoever, based on declassified documents, that the entire Russia investigation was a politically motivated fraud. In fact, it's the largest greatest abuse of power in American history, where Barack Obama and virtually all of the leaders of his administration used the full authority of the United States government and the incredible surveillance capability of our intelligence agencies to spy on the Republican candidate, to defraud the FISA courts, and they used fabricated evidence in an effort to stage an illegal coup and undo the results of the 2016 election.

There's an adage I've always heard: never make an enemy out of somebody who buys ink by the barrel, meaning don't tick off a newspaper. This man has ticked off an industry. He's popularized the expression fake news and gotten people to realize how biased the media are. We've been talking about it for decades, but I think now people are beginning to realize it because of Trump. They see how he's been misquoted. He's, uh, they've got these people on saying that he referred to the coronavirus as a hoax. No, he didn't. It's been fact-checked and they said he didn't, but they still say it. Donald Trump said that there are good Nazis and bad Nazis. No, he didn't. But when you don't correct the politician or the pundit for saying it, you're putting it out there on purpose. This is what we're up against. These cockamamie plans that Joe Biden has are not going to be seriously talked about or tested. Are discussed. More taxes on rich people, a Green New Deal, $15 minimum wage, a commission to study reparations, for crying out loud, wealth tax, debt forgiveness, tuition forgiveness, and the continued march towards single payer, which is what they wanted all along. We're not even having a discussion about this.

Joe Biden recently said Donald Trump is the first So I put in Biden during the break. Anyway, I told you I'd give you a riddle, so listen to this. The left— and I mean this literally— the left in the United States, anywhere actually, but then in the United States is as suppressive of dissent as the medieval church was. But they mocked the medieval church, but the medieval church has an excuse— it was medieval. There's no excuse today. So Galileo was suppressed and the doctors recommending hydroxychloroquine are suppressed. There is absolutely no difference. None. Zero difference. They had an orthodoxy they protected. The left has an orthodoxy it protects and suppresses the other. So here's my riddle. So what is the one difference between the medieval church and the left? You'll love it, Alan. Ready? You're thinking, I could tell. The answer is the medieval church did some good. Isn't that good? There were good things about the medieval church. There is no good thing about the left. Yes, no, exactly. Who established the universities? They established massive charities. I mean, so that's my, uh, that's my riddle. My only other riddle is, what do you call a happy Black American? Right, a conservative. These are all accurate, but I really do love this one that I came up with this morning. Just thinking about it, about the medieval church and the left. The medieval church did some good and the left didn't, doesn't. Yes, now Sean asks a totally apt question: how many people woke up this morning thinking about the medieval church? I admit I march to a different drummer. If people knew what I am thinking about while showering, I, or driving, I, you know, will often drive in quiet. I love thinking. There is a theater in my mind of ideas, and it's ideas. Women review conversations, so they have the theater in their minds. In most instances, not in all. Anyway, that's what we're living through. I'm making light of it, but it is not light at all. The suppression of dissent by the left, that leads to communism.
