The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

I wonder how many Americans actually even listened or watched. I would love to know if we have any numbers. What the left has done to impeachment, it has done to everything else. It has ruined it. It is now meaningless. It is truly meaningless. Well, it is simply a Democratic Party's way of expressing its petulant anger. That's all. If— and needless to say, if Republicans acted in this way, the country would be in major hysteria and crisis induced by the media, right? It's very— it's a dark time, my dear friends, and I don't want you to despair because that's very unhelpful. You should be concerned There's every reason to be concerned. But what did I say the, the other week? If you only fight when you think you'll win, you won't win. And that's the way it works. Now, to say you'll fight means to take over the Capitol. See, that's the way they have figured out that he induced the insurrection. No insurrection took place It is just another lie of the left, but I— and you are living through the rule that anything repeated enough, including men give birth, is accepted as truth. That's right. Have you ever heard anything as hateful as men give birth? I don't know, it's really up there. Like you to hear a congresswoman from St. Louis, a newly elected congresswoman. And this is, uh, Cori Bush in Congress yesterday.

Donald J. Trump— if we fail to remove a white supremacist president who incited a white supremacist insurrection, it's communities like Missouri's 1st District that suffer the most. The 117th Congress must understand that we have a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives. The first step in that process is to root out white supremacy, starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief. Thank you, and I yield back. Time from New York wishes to reserve.

Was that some applause that I actually heard? The white supremacist in chief. Anything can be said. Do you understand? This woman did not have a voice in her. So, you know, I think you might be going a little too far. We really don't have any data to support the argument that he is a white supremacist, let alone the white supremacist-in-chief. The question really arises when when a white supremacist does show up, will there be any vocabulary left? The answer, of course, is no. Rashida Tlaib weighed in. Okay, let's hear Rashida Tlaib.

Distinguished gentlelady from Michigan, Ms. Tlaib.

The gentlewoman from Michigan is recognized for 30 seconds. Thank you, Madam Chair. In Michigan's 13th, we proudly speak truth to power, even in the face of a racist-in-chief. Those who incited an attack on the people's This House do not get to talk about healing and unity. They have torn this country apart. They have stoked the fire and then handed the gasoline to Donald Trump. Dr. King once said, true peace is not merely the absence of tension. It is in the presence of justice. Today we must embody those words, and we must understand that peace must be centered in truth and action. We cannot sit, Madam Chair, sit idly by after a violent attempted coup and allow lies and hate to continue. Today we stand up for our constituents who continue to be harmed by the— wishes to reserve the— time has expired. Donald Trump. The gentlewoman's time has expired. The gentleman from New York.

Yeah, if there's ever a gentlewoman, it is Rashida Tlaib. I, uh, it's, uh, I know the person has to say it, but it is somewhat of a joke. Attempted coup, insurrection. It's the only coup in which people stop to take selfies. I mean, it, it was disgusting and stupid, but it wasn't an attempted coup. It's just being used like the Reichstag fires. I've said to you since it happened The Nazis used the Reichstag fire within a month of being in office in 1933, and then they had the Enabling Act, which enabled them to shut down all the communists of the country, just as they are shutting down the conservatives of the country. Differences, of course— well, in terms of tactics, there are no difference, and it's the tactics that I am I am drawing a parallel to, not the concentration camps, death camps, and the like, which are unique to the Nazis and which didn't occur for years. This is 1933, a month into their election. Now, what are they going to have, an impeachment? This is not clear to me. Will there be an impeachment after he is out of office? How do you impeach a president who isn't president. It shows you it's all emotional. They're children just venting. Here's a list of companies that say they are cutting off the president. PJ Media has reported on this. Amazon, one of the biggest companies in the world, owned by the richest man in the world, also owns the Washington Post, cut off donations to Republican Republicans who fought election fraud, and then readings from, uh, from PJ Media, and demanded an extension of the voting in the Electoral College. Then there's the Professional Golf Association, the PGA, Facebook, Twitter, Shopify, Stripe, Reddit, Snapchat, Twitch. Lehigh University took back an honorary degree to Donald Trump. Wagner College the same. Uh, Middlebury is considering revoking Rudolph Giuliani's honorary law degree. American Express PAC will no longer support any congressional member who voted against certifying the election. The company never supported any GOP senators according to the New York Times. There's no word on if the company's— no word on if There's no word if the company cut off Democrats who have voted against certification in the past. That's a very good question. MasterCard said it was cutting off donations to any politician who tried to hold up the count of the Electoral College votes. Morgan Stanley has cut off donations to any congressional member who voted that way. New York State Bar Association is considering investigating Giuliani and banishing him from their group. AT&T withdrew all its PAC donations from all Republicans, including 17 Texas state Republicans and Senator Ted Cruz. A group called End Citizens United called for the corporation's withdrawal of donations from Republicans. It owns Time Warner Cable. Comcast announced it's cutting off Republicans who fought the election results. Comcast owns NBCUniversal, NBC TV, local NBC stations, Xfinity, Telemundo, and film companies and recreational parks. Dow Chemical. Blue Cross Blue Shield cut off political contributions to Republicans who tried to stop the certification of the Electoral College. It's one of the nation's largest federations of insurance companies, according to the New York Times. Marriott International, which besides owning its Marriott hotels owns nearly 5,400 properties including the luxe, the Ritz-Carlton brand, autograph collection hotel St. Regis, and many others. It's cutting off the GOP. Because of the destructive events at the Capitol which undermined the legitimate and fair elections, cutting off the whole GOP. So half the country might not want to stay at Marriott Hotels. It seems to me that's a logical reaction. It's the cowards who run these companies who just want to be woke, and they're supporting people who have utter contempt for business.

Turning now on the Charlie Kirk Show.

I was watching a certain Congressman who I won't name, a former congressman who 5 or 6 times on television right now, he just said, I'm so surprised to see this. I'm so stunned to see this. You can be saddened to see it like I am, but if you're surprised that you're seeing this, then you have done an awful job governing and legislating. This should not be a surprise to anyone that actually understands what is happening in this country. And this is, this is beyond politics at this moment. This is beyond Republican and Democrat. This is a multi-institutional problem that is happening in America. So I want to get into this as we lead. We're waiting for the president of the Senate, the vice president, to reconvene the session. As we promised you, we're going to be covering this live tonight, and we covered it all throughout the day. What drove those people to scale the walls of Congress today, of which I don't support? But why did they do that? The sloppy and the lazy analysis that is being given is because President Trump told them to do that. That's wrong. That's not true. First of all, he didn't tell them to do that. But that is a— that's a simpleton argument. They did that because they don't trust their system. That's why I just heard Jonathan Turley on Fox News, who I think is a very smart guy. And he said, how could these people not trust their system? What's gotten into them? What's gotten into them? They watch the news.

And so I left the prayer chapel right off the rotunda. And actually, it's a good thing that I left when I did because it was literally just minutes later that the agitators came, broke into the building and came in. And I'm glad that I wasn't confused with them because I was wearing normal clothes, just normal mom clothes.

But of course, we're being confused with them now. Because everyone who's— by design, Eric, by everyone who's pro-Trump is being accused of being a violent agitator. And I just want to be on the record as saying that is nonsense. It's worse than nonsense. It's an evil lie. And we need to keep saying that over and over because this is a truly despicable lie. Uh, and we, we have to say it over and over and remind ourselves and everyone who's listening what nonsense this is, that a few hundred people, we don't know who they are, obviously some of them were pro-Trump, some of them now we know were not pro-Trump, they had infiltrated, but it did, it's a whole madness, but it was a few hundred people and literally a million-plus people outside there for this joyous thing, and they are being lumped in with the agitators, and then everyone in America, about 80 million people, or, you know, much more than that if you consider the people the kids and stuff who would be pro-Trump, who didn't get to vote. All those people are being demonized as pro-violence. So I'm gonna have to say that every 12 minutes for the next few months. Go ahead, sorry.

You have to, Eric, because that's the whole nub of what happened.

This is Albert Mohler for TownHall.com. The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order. That means policies, it means a covenant. In our case, it means a Constitution. As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history. It's a remarkable document. All of that came to the fore in 6.

Hello, my friends. Dennis Prager here. What is going on, even 10 years ago, would have been incomprehensible to most Americans. I predicted it. I'm not a genius. I'm not a prophet. I know the left. Like you know your family. There is no exception to what is happening anywhere that they gain power, so why would there be an exception in the United States? It is, as I tell you every day, completely destructive force, and it is destroying freedom at this time. The most unique aspect— that is what has made America exceptional— is freedom. Slavery didn't make America exceptional because everybody had slaves. Everyone, every country on earth, every tribe, every nation. Blacks had slaves, Muslims had slaves, Christians had slaves, non-Christians had slaves. It's, it's one of the proofs that human nature is not basically good, that people were at peace with slavery. It doesn't prove anything about any given group as much as it does about human nature. Which basically stinks. That's why the most important thing is to know that and to work on making good humans when you raise them. This was not done in the United States beginning with the generation called the Greatest Generation. They did not raise their children to be good. They raised their children to be affluent and happy. And the combination of secularism and affluence produces massive boredom. Boredom produces the need to find a cause. And that, my dear friends, in a nutshell, is how the left was created out of the post-Judeo-Christian, post-World War II boredom. I need a cause, man. You know my famous riddle? I take back famous. It's famous to me. But here's my riddle, and that is, uh, what do you call a religious person who says the end is near? A crackpot. What do you call a secular person who says the end is near? An environmentalist. I got a couple of riddles I made up. What do you call a happy black American? A Republican. But that's it. I have now exhausted the riddles that I have made up, but they're good ones. They tell you a lot of truth. If I could make up another 10, I could write a column, Prager's Riddles. It's a riddle why decent people do not see what is happening in the United States. That's, that's the riddle. And I mean it, there are decent people, take care of their friends, their families, and then support the ruination of this remarkable country. USA Today had an article that the Black National Anthem, as it is called, should be America's national anthem. This will heal divisions. Really, it will heal divisions? That is Orwellian, is it not? Mark in Stockton, California, hello.

Yeah, I don't understand why you're uncomfortable with the word insurrection. It meets the dictionary definition, what happened in Washington.

Read the dictionary definition, please.

It says, um, an instance of rising in arms or open rebellion against an established government or authority.

Okay, then we've had a, a year of non-stop insurrections. Is that correct? Can you tell me what happened? Can you tell me why what happened in Portland and San Francisco and, and Seattle and New York was not called an insurrection, but this—

I would call that rioting and shoplifting by evil people.

You wouldn't call it an insurrection when they take over?

No, because they weren't government agencies.

They took— they were like department stores and police stations. Is a police station a government agency?

I would say that is definitely an insurrection.

Did any Democrat call any of that an insurrection?

I don't know, but you're saying it's not.

Well, let's say— okay, so let me say, if they didn't, do you have a thought as to why only that event on January 6th was called an insurrection?

I would say that the events against police stations is definitely an insurrection.

Okay, all right. So I'll tell you, if they start calling so much of what happened in the summer insurrection, I have no problem. But all of a sudden, they, they have decided to use the word against the people who for a few hours took over, and it's disgusting. I, I condemned it so fast. I have proof that I did because it happened. It just started at the end of my program. My program runs Pacific time, 9 to noon. So I'd like to know what time this— the riot started there in Washington. But anyway, I every day record a promo for the next day's show. And so I record the promo, I'd say within 15 minutes or a half hour of my show. And my promo was how was a total condemnation of what had happened. So I— it terribly disturbed me. The ratio of people who engaged in this compared to the number of people who were at the rally is very tiny. Things need to be put into perspective. For people who did, who were against the prosecution of anybody who forced— I had the numbers yesterday. I have to give you the numbers. The numbers of dead over the rioting, the amount, I think it's $2 billion. And it's not $2 billion of government money, it's $2 billion of individuals' money lost. I believe that was the figure that I read in the riots of the summer. Everybody listening, whatever side you're on, knows that the amount of condemnation was, was insignificant or non-existent. The only answers to all of, all of the rioting was, uh, let's defund police. And amazingly, people in those neighborhoods still voted Democrat. The ability of people to vote against what is good for themselves is a phenomenon. It truly is. Yes, Kathy in Varico— Valrico, sorry, Valrico, Florida. Hello.

Hello, Dennis. I'm a longtime listener, and I just— I was watching C-SPAN Yesterday and watching the vote and everything. And, uh, didn't the House of Representatives change the rules and say that you couldn't refer to men and women, mothers and fathers, and sisters and brothers?

Yes, they did. Excellent point. How did they do gentlelady? And how do they know the person identifies as such? Nancy Pelosi said that they were going to drop mother and father and daughter and son. And she said she was yesterday, and now they go gentlelady. Back in a moment.

This is Albert Mohler for TownHall.com. The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order. That means policies. It means a covenant. In our case, it means a Constitution. As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history. It's a remarkable document. All of that came to the fore in violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College. At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient. But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place. It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.

We will never give up.

We will never concede. It doesn't happen.

You don't concede when there's theft involved.

It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm once again our commitment to ordered liberty. It's the American way. I'm Albert Mohler.

A lot of conversation around incitement. There's a lot of conversation around did people call for specific action that resulted in the illegal acts and the criminal acts of last week. But let's take a step back and ask ourselves the question: has the media been covering for violent action in recent time? The answer is absolutely yes. From GQ magazine, why violent protests work. Now, let me be very clear. I don't share these views. We've talked about the difference between civil discord and civil disobedience. We've talked about how once you go to violence, you lose public opinion and you destroy other people's stuff and you could kill people, and that is not moral. However, this article by Laura Bassett goes through piece by piece why she believes violent protests work, and you can go back to a flashback where Chris Cuomo cut 3, where he says, please show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Let's go to cut 3.

Now, too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets— persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice. And please, Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

So now they're going out of their way to call it an insurrection. However, back then they said, show me where it has to show polite and peaceful.

But Democrats challenged the election in 2000, challenged the election in 2004, challenged the election in 2016, the first week of January, the first week of the following year, all lawfully making protests, the same as Ted Cruz and the others were about ready to do until this riot took place? Did any of you tell Hillary to stop referring to President Trump as illegitimate? Of course not, because you benefited. 78%, according to Gallup— that's a poll you guys like— 78% of Democrats believe not just that the Russians interfered, which everybody agreed with, including Trump, but that the interference changed the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.

Hi y'all, Dennis Prager here, and I'm thinking, is there any cause that the left believes in that is not— that they do not use the most extreme term to describe what they are fighting? Let's see. So you don't merely differ with President Trump, you impeach him. You impeach him twice, once with a weak left to his administration. And so impeachment has been totally cheapened as a political— becomes just another political tool. Uh, global warming, or climate change as it was changed into, that's not merely a problem, it's an existential threat that you, uh You don't merely take common sense precautions against COVID-19. You deprive people of their liberties. You lock down a society. It is literally extremist. Literally, every issue upon which they place their policies, devote their time, their energy, is there's an extreme element to it. It wasn't merely a, a riot or a takeover. It was an insurrection and a coup. A coup, that's right. It was an attempt to overthrow the government. So if there really is an attempt to overthrow the government They will have lost the vocabulary. But it doesn't matter when you own the media of a society. You can't say anything. That's what has happened. But you will notice in every instance, the president is not merely someone to be opposed. He is the white supremacist-in-chief. I played you that today from this hate-filled a congresswoman from Missouri who does nothing for her, I presume, largely Black district, as she referred to it as such. They will suffer. They suffer from what happened in Washington. Actually, they benefited from the president whom she hates and calls the white supremacist-in-chief. You notice the language that is used. You are not merely wrong, you are sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, and bigoted. I might note, whenever I say Islamophobic, there's a voice in me that notes how this is an example of the left owning the rhetoric of the country. Why is there no term for hatred of Christians? There's a term for hatred of Jews. There's a term for hatred of Muslims. There is no term for hatred of Jews. Is it because nobody hates Christians? Amazing thing. No. Wow. Well, I tell you, The only group on Earth that has nobody who hates it. Such is the kidnapping of language that has taken place by the left, and which nobody seems— well, not nobody, but people in general don't seem to recognize and Clearwater, Florida. And Jim, hello.

Hey Dennis, how you doing today?

Okay, thank you.

Yeah, hey, um, I was just calling. We can use the same tools that corporate America's been using against us for probably the last 30 years and just shop local. We rebuild our communities. The way our communities used to be 30, 40 years ago, you know, using your local shops, you know, knowing who your neighbors are. You know, we don't need Walmart. We don't need Target. We don't need Amazon. You know, and a lot of this is our fault too. Um, cause the Machiavellian politicians in office on both sides, especially us as conservatives, the Republicans have done us no favors over the last 20, 30 years either. You know, they've changed a lot of the laws that allow this to happen. You know, we have a state congressman named Randy Fine. Now, this probably won't go anywhere, but he's going for the boycott, you know, of Facebook and Twitter.

Um, well, it would go somewhere. Actually, it would go somewhere. Uh, if we, uh, if we could have parlor, but that's, that's the problem. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to tell you about an interesting supplement that has made a big deal in my life. I had the, the pins and needles feeling in my feet. I've had it for about 25 years. It got quite intense. So among the things I did is I had inserts put in. I read about Nerve Renew on the internet, and so I tried it out. And amazingly, after about a year— doesn't happen overnight— I got rid of the inserts I had worn for 10 years. It's minimal, the, uh, the pins and needles effect that I have. I'd like you to try it out. Go to nerve-renew.com. I asked them to advertise. That's how effective I think the product is. NerveRenew.com.

If you are a Trump opponent, do you not understand that when President Trump brings his inevitable lawsuit against the constitutionality of the impeachment proceeding trial against him in the Senate and he wins, what that will appear to do? It will appear to exonerate him. Think about that. Donald Trump is going to sue to stop the impeachment trial. Because he should sue. It's unconstitutional. And I would not have voted for the October 6th objections. I wrote that. If I had signed my name to it, I would have changed my mind after the attack on the Congress. By the way, more than 130 arrests have occurred and more are coming. And if you were involved in being in the Capitol, you ought to retain criminal counsel and then have your counsel contact the FBI and have them arrange for your interview and possible charging and then your defense. Don't speak to the police yourself. Don't speak to the FBI yourself. Hire a criminal counsel and turn yourself in. They are going to find you. They're going to find everybody. It was an attack on the Constitution of the United States. It was, and you're likely guilty. There may be a couple of you who were swept along by the mob and forced just inside the building and left immediately, you might not be guilty. You might lack the requisite intent. But President Trump lacked the intent, as far as I can see and as people have testified and as the speech suggests, to be convicted of incitement. Though people are going to impeach him today out of anger. Liz Cheney said he summoned the mob. He summoned a demonstration. He did not summon the mob.

Immediately, my first response once I heard about what was going on is that this was, this was a planned event. It had to be a planned event because I had been outside with these people for 2 days and they were the happiest, most joyful people. You had the people who were there, a lot of prayer people, and then you also had what I would call the patriot people, people who were there giving speeches, carrying flags, and that sort of thing. But again, not one angry speech. I didn't hear an angry speech, no mob mentality. There was nothing like that whatsoever. And there was actually a fairly scant presence of Capitol Police outside the building, at least on the east side. There just weren't that many people. There weren't that many Capitol Police. And it was surprising. Surprising. I've been there when it's been joint sessions of Congress when the vice president has Hi everybody, you're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.

I was cracking up right before I got on the air watching Ami Horowitz's latest video. We're going to have him on, I believe, next hour. He was— he lives in Manhattan. But he goes all over the world. But this took place in Manhattan, and he asked people, uh, is it important to be tolerant of others? And they were just so enthusiastic about being tolerant of everybody. And he asked this woman who said she was the most— one of the most empathetic people in the world— what do you think of Republicans? And she said Everything in the world has value. All creations have value, except Republicans. And that's the way it went. Young people, older people, it didn't matter. It's like all the young people who say they are for free speech Except hate speech. So they're not for free speech. What, do they not understand that? Since they label whatever they differ with hate speech, they're not for free speech. Okay, you are taught in the American educational system how not to think clearly. It's another terrible reason— another good reason about a terrible issue not to send your child to school in this country, but to homeschool or find a good school. Find a school that believes in education. That would be the, the single most powerful thing people could do. They want to boycott Amazon and they want to boycott this place and that place, but the The best thing that people could do is withdraw from the schools. I will not allow you to teach my child to hate this country and basically to hate me, his or her parent. That's really what is happening. The number of you listening to this show who have a child that has contempt for you because of the educational system is in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, certainly millions in this country. One of the things that I ask people when I meet them— it's a very tough question because if the answer is sad, it's very sad— but I ask just about anybody I meet if they have children. If they're conservative, I ask if you have children. Most do. And may I ask, do your children share your values? And then very sad stories come out, including not, not rarely, 'They won't talk to me. I voted for Donald Trump. They won't talk to me.' Started 4 years ago when I read to you the Thanksgiving story from the front page of the New York Times after the 2016 election. How many people would not go to their parents or their friends because they voted for Trump? They wouldn't go there for Thanksgiving. I would say that the ratio of people who do that to the people on our side who do that is probably 1,000 to 1. Do any of you know anybody who will not talk to a parent because the parent is on the left? I don't— I have not— I have not heard of such a— of such an instance taking place. Alrighty, everybody. And, uh, Rob in Northfield, Illinois. Hello, Rob.

Hello, Dennis. It's a pleasure.

Thank you.

Um, yeah, I just wanted to say Trump had some more fiery stuff in that speech, you know, besides, uh, we're gonna march peacefully and this and that. There was some fire there.

But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, there was nothing that was to say— I say every day we have to fight the left. Nobody assumes that means that you do something violent.

Well, and he said something like, you know, we— you get 'What you want through strength' or something like this, right?

Why is that wrong? Why is that an invitation to violence?

Well, but the point I was trying to make was, um, because those are all the quotes that you hear on the, you know, the left side. But when he said there was very fine people on both sides, he condemned Nazis in the same breath. But they were able to go with just that one quote to, you know, label him racist for the whole entire time.

Yeah, let me just— once again, it's frustrating, but I, I've learned to live with frustration because I, I can't assume something I say is heard by everybody. It's a little self-delusional to think that. I know that. But I, I know I've said it and we've made one of the most widely viewed PragerU videos on this with Steve Cortez. When he said they were fine people on both sides, he was referring to people on the statue issue, and he was trying to calm things. Here was a man who was saying that there are people on the left who are fine too. He should have been commended for that statement, not lied about. That's the irony. Here he was trying to tamp down the tensions that were taking place in Charlottesville, and he was right. There were fine people on both sides of the statue issue. He didn't think there were fine Nazis any more than he thought there were fine Antifa. To believe that he said there were fine people on both sides and was referring to the Nazis means he was also referring to Antifa. He doesn't believe there are fine people in Antifa. What are the both sides if one side was Nazi, one side was Antifa? Among the many reasons that sheer logic shows what a lie that is, the charge against the president with regard to that. Raphael in Los Angeles, hello.

Dennis, hello. Um, thank you for taking my call. I saw you at the JNF breakfast a few years ago. I've been listening to you.

The most troubling kind of issue out of everything that we've seen in the last couple of days with Big Tech in particular is how Parler was targeted by 3 $1 trillion companies. Not only were these, these, these companies added, acted in a cartel manner, going after not just the distribution but the hosting, Dr. Gorka, on the server space of Parler, because we were always told create a competitor, engage in the free market. And now we're— now we realize that you can't even create a competitor if the big tech oligarchy doesn't approve of it beforehand.

Obama didn't incite anything from Black Lives Matter. He didn't incite them or that shooter to do that. I mean, so why are you listening to idiots that bring that kind of stuff.

Is that a question? Hey, Hayes, is that a question? No, no, no, no, no. First, I'm going to respond to that if you allow me to, please.

Yeah.

Uh, lots of police officers, Hayes, felt that Barack Obama, because of his constant criticism of police officers, created the atmosphere that allowed these 3 black men to believe falsely that the police were engaging, uh, in racial brutality against black people. They posted it on social media. They told their friends, and one of the major policeman organizations put out a statement and blamed Obama for creating this kind of atmosphere. So a lot of people felt that way, Hayes. I know you didn't. I know the media didn't. My point is, if you're going to make this argument about Donald Trump— let me finish, please. Let me finish, please. If you're going to make the argument that Donald Trump is creating this atmosphere, then get that unlimited text, unlimited talk.

And all for $20 a month. You just, just press #250 on your phone and say Dennis Prager. And I am Dennis Prager. And I go back to Raphael in Los Angeles. Hello.

Yeah, thank you, Dennis. Can you hear me all right?

I do.

Okay, then I'll make it very brief. I agree with you on this, on taking your kids out of school. I have done that. We're here at the LAUSD and, uh, we did it. I couldn't have my, my son hating this country, so I carved out time in my day to homeschool him, and we hired a tutor, and we're, and we're putting our money where our mouth is. But it's hard, and that's kind of the focus of my question, uh, or comment. It's very hard for conservatives to kind of protest in these ways. They can avoid certain stores and avoid certain brands. But like, it occurred to me the other day, just kind of out of the blue, that maybe there's a better way to do this and kind of resist, or I should say disengage, from these companies. And it's 401(k) plans. We as Americans have $5 trillion vested with money managers and 401(k) plans, and a vast majority of those funds are sent to the FAANG stocks, Facebook and Google. And I, you know, what I did very early on as kind of my own personal protest was I moved my 401(k) money into a stable value fund, which of course did not grow at the 5 to 7% rate under the, you know, the Trump administration. But it gave me solace for a minute just knowing that. And I just think, you know, is As we think about some of these movements on the left, you know, if we could only get maybe 10 or 15% of 401(k) holders to make a similar move, even temporarily, I think that's the kind of thing that would—

I do. I think you're right. But, uh, the most immediate thing is the corruption of the most precious thing people have in their lives, more precious than their home, and that is their children. Everyone listening knows that your child will not be educated in the vast majority of America's schools. Your child will be indoctrinated. It is an incredibly difficult decision to make to take your child out of school and put them in a school that will teach rather than indoctrinate or have them homeschooled. I am going to have more and more people on to help you navigate the, the complexities, if there are, if that's the proper word, of homeschooling. And that is the answer until, of course, the left bans homeschooling, as they have in Germany, by the way. This, uh, This notion of liberty, it's not common, my friends. It is not common. Of thee I sing, sweet land of liberty. We continue. I'm Dennis Prager.

I love the idea that states get involved, and why shouldn't they? We are a republic of states. Does that mean, Charlie Kirk, that we are condemned in the near to medium term to have a totally bifurcated U.S. economy along political lines?

I think we're already there. I think when you have Salesforce say that they will not host the Republican National Committee, then all of a sudden those lines have been drawn. When you have Shopify that says that President Trump's campaign can't sell hats or t-shirts, when you have Spotify that says the president cannot use their platform, we're already there. And guess what? Here's the reality of it. When you have a company that actually cares about platform access and is really driven by normal capitalistic profit incentives up against the wokesters, we're gonna win. In the short term, their capital flows will benefit them. These companies have such insane amounts of uninterrupted capital, they're allowed to do foolish things like this. But that will end up getting challenged if we do our job. And that's where the coalition of Republican states need to get in the subsidizing and the investing of, I just call it, First Amendment infrastructure.

I love it. First Amendment infrastructure. Let's build it. Let's create a campaign. I want to be part of it. Charlie Kirk is going to lead the way. We can defeat those who wish to use big tech to undermine our civil rights. And by the way, where are the libertarians? Strangely so quiet. What a surprise there.

If you are a Trump opponent, do you not understand that when President Trump brings his inevitable lawsuit against the constitutionality of the impeachment proceeding trial against him in the Senate and he wins, what that will appear to do. It will appear to exonerate him. Think about that. Donald Trump is going to sue to stop the impeachment trial because he should sue. It's unconstitutional. And I would not have voted for the October 6th objections. I wrote that. If I had signed my name to it, I would have changed my mind after the attack on the Congress. By the way, more than 130 arrests have occurred and more are coming. And if you were involved in being in the Capitol, you ought to retain criminal counsel and then have your counsel contact the FBI and have them arrange for your interview and possible charging and then your defense. Don't speak to the police yourself. Don't speak to the FBI yourself. Hire a criminal counsel and turn yourself in. They are going to find you. They're going to find everybody. It was an attack on the Constitution of the United States. It was, and you're likely guilty. There may be a couple of you who were swept along by the mob and forced just inside the building and left immediately. You might not be guilty. You might lack the requisite intent. But President Trump lacked the intent, as far as I can see and as people have testified and as the speech suggests, to be convicted of incitement, though people are going to impeach him today out of anger. Liz Cheney said he summoned the mob. He summoned a demonstration. He did not summon the mob.

Immediately, my first response once I heard about what was going on is that this was, this was a planned event. It had to be a planned event because I had been outside with these people for 2 days, and they were the happiest, most joyful people. You had the prayer people who were there, a lot of prayer people. And then you also had what I would call the patriot people, people who were there giving speeches, carrying flags, and that sort of thing. But again, not one angry speech. I didn't hear an angry speech, no mob mentality. There was nothing like that whatsoever. And there was actually a fairly scant presence of Capitol Police outside the building, at least on the east side. There just weren't that many people. There weren't that many Capitol Police. And it was surprising. I've been there when it's been joint sessions of Congress, when the vice president has been there. You can't get anywhere near that building. So it's more important.

It's crazy, right? What could be more important? You have the entire United States government gathered together in one room. You would think that there'd be more security there than for anything in the world. And somehow—

Exactly, especially when there's a million people outside on the streets. That's what— none of it made sense. And after the event happened, every single piece of evidence that came showed me this was clearly a planned event. This was a planned event designed to do exactly what you're seeing day after day. It's identity theft. This was the left's victory. The left planned this, and their victory is that they are stealing President Trump's identity.

Remember when Nicole Hannah-Jones, cut 5, said that destroying property which can be replaced is not violence? Let's play cut 5.

Destroying property which can be replaced is not violence. And to put those things, to use the exact same language to describe those two things, I think really it's not, it's not moral to do that.

So that's not moral to do that, to conflate rioting and looting and destruction. But the rioting, looting, and destruction is perfectly moral according to Nikole Hannah-Jones. Now, Nikole Hannah-Jones was never called to task for her, quote unquote, incitement or using her freedom of speech to do that. And so we go back through this for a very specific reason, because What you have here is 300,000 to 400,000 Trump supporters that went to the Washington Monument, a fraction that went to the Capitol. Now, a lot of people that were going to the Capitol did not know that they were going to intersect with people that were on the east side of the Capitol that were almost being there professionally agitating. And, Isabel, you know, some people that went last week.

I do.

And they went peacefully.

They absolutely did. You know, hello everybody, Dennis Prager here. I'm going to go straight to my guest. He has a new video out. You should watch all the Yomi Horowitz videos. They are, they are truly an example. Oh, you're right, he's not there.

Oh boy.

Oh, my boo-boo. Anyway, it is hilarious. Uh, the, uh, I just got to the part he's in Manhattan and he's asking people if, uh, if people have, uh, if everybody has worth. And then he asks this woman, and what about Republicans? Well, every creature on earth except Republicans, and they're monstrous. They're just stopping people to ask them what they, what they consider. The, the, the divide is unbridgeable. We think they're ruining the country and they think we're ruining the world. So there you go. I, I acknowledge that. So the— here's the difference though. This is a very important important thing to note. So the left thinks that the right— or Democrats think the Republicans are ruining the world. Global warming top on the list, and racism of course. And we think they're ruining the world, and specifically the United States. Okay, so there There's one immediate difference in that regard. You just have symmetry, but there is one immediate difference. We allow and welcome them free to freely speak. They shut us down whenever they can. So what does that tell you? It's obvious what it tells you. They are afraid of other thoughts. We are not. There, there's a reason they fear our thoughts, because we will persuade people. Um, they believe, and they're right, that the only way left-wing ideas can prevail is when there is no dissent. That's a very big difference between the two groups. We welcome debate. We welcome dissent. When, when I speak at a college or on this show, I, I go first to the dissenting calls or the dissenting questioners at the college. That's, that's our mode, mode of operation. Watch a Ben Shapiro speech on the internet. Please, those of you who differ with me at a college, he will say this: you go to the microphone first. That's a huge difference between the two. We each have extremely negative views of the other. So there's a, there's a sort of balance there. But beyond that, there is absolutely no, no comparison. We won't shut you down. Also, there's a track record, the track record of, of conservatives in the United States in the last 100 years is— there are some bad things, there's no question, but overwhelmingly it has been to help vast numbers of people of every nationality, religion, race, ethnicity. The track record of the left is uniformly vicious all over the world. Not talking about liberals. My daily announcements that liberals and leftists have nothing in common, although liberals vote left because they have been trained to vote left. Some people, like Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard law professor, are liberals, lifelong Democrats, and understand the threat is from the left, not the right. The Threat to Liberalism. Yes, indeed, I'll tell you about a school. This is quite, quite a story here, and I am going to beat this drum for the foreseeable future, and that is that you take your kids out of the school that they are in. Alan, would you give me the URL again to the City Journal piece on what they're teaching at the school? It's, uh, it's something that you need to, uh, to be aware of. Yeah, I'm going to give this to you right now. Oh man, here it is. Needless to say, the last piece. A Cupertino— this is California in the Silicon Valley— Cupertino, California elementary school forces third graders, third graders, to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their power and privilege. Power and privilege. An elementary school in Cupertino, California, a Silicon Valley community with a median home price of $2.3 million, recently forced a class of third graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their power and privilege. I think this was in a math class. A third grade teacher at R.I. Meyerholtz Elementary School began the lesson on, quote, social identities— yes, I'm right— during a math class. The teacher asked all students to create an identity map listing their race, class, gender, religion, family structure, and other characteristics. The teacher explained that the students live in a dominant culture— their words— of, quote, white middle-class cisgender, educated, able-bodied Christian English speakers who, according to the lesson, created and maintained this culture in order to, quote, to hold power and stay in power. For the record, let me just say that the white, middle-class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied Christian English speaker created the finest country in the history of the world. The freest country, the one that has given more people liberty and chance to succeed in life than any other on Earth. It was largely created by that guy. And the reason I could say it and not be charged with self-adulation is I'm not Christian. Okay, there you go. And I fully acknowledge This white, middle-class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied Christian English speaker did a lot of good, my friends. Are you allowed to say that, or can you only say they're bad? Isn't that interesting? Are you allowed to defend that group? Next, reading from the book— this, this book is anti-racist— the students learned that, quote, those with privilege have power over others, and that folks— I don't know why it's spelled F-O-L-X. Yeah, what is that? They don't spell it anymore F-O-L-K-S. It's now F-O-L-X, like in Latinx. What is the point of that? These are children, the leftists. They're children. If it was brevity, they would have dropped the L. It just would have been F-O-X. And that folks who do not benefit from their social identities or in the subordinate culture have little or no privilege and power. How do they explain all the Blacks that have a great wealth? How do they explain that whites are actually beneath a number of ethnic groups in income? How, how was that explained if they're, if they're only interested— whites are interested only in power? As an example, the reading states that a white cisgender man who was able-bodied, heterosexual, considered handsome— this is an amazingly— this is the profundity of this point— is, makes you stand up and salute. Ready? This is reading for third graders. A white cisgender man— cisgender, in case you didn't know, is a person who identifies with their biological sex. So 99% of you listening— excuse me, 99.9% of you listening are cisgender. A white cisgender man who is able-bodied, heterosexual, considered handsome, and speaks English has more privileged than a Black transgender woman? It's generally true, got to admit it. It's quite a comparison. How about this? A Black cisgender man who is able-bodied, heterosexual, considered handsome, and speaking— speaks English has more privilege than a Black transgender What is the point? We will be back. I'm Dennis Prager.

This is Albert Mohler for TownHall.com. The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order. That means policies. It means a covenant. In our case, it means a Constitution. As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history. It's a remarkable document. All of that came to the fore in violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College. At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient, but that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place. It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.

We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn't happen.

You don't concede when there's theft involved.

It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm once again our commitment to ordered liberty. It's the American way. I'm Albert Mohler.

A lot of conversation around incitement. There's a lot of conversation around did people call for specific action that resulted in the illegal acts and the criminal acts of last week. But let's take a step back and ask ourselves the question: has the media been covering for violent action in recent time? The answer is absolutely yes. From GQ magazine, why violent protests work. Now, let me be very clear. I don't share these views. We've talked about the difference between civil discord and civil disobedience. We've talked about how once you go to violence, you lose public opinion and you destroy other people's stuff and you could kill people. And that is not moral. However, this article by Laura Bassett goes through piece by piece why she believes violent protests work. And you can go back to a flashback where Chris Cuomo cut 3, where he says, please show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Let's go to cut 3.

Now, too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets— persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice. And please show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

So now they're going out of their way to call it an insurrection. However, back then they said, show me where it has to show polite and peaceful.

Whether it's a refi, a new fi, reverse mortgage, or whatever. Dennis Prager here with you, and I Dennis Prager was reading to you from an incredible piece in City Journal about a school, what it's teaching third graders about white privilege, etc., and that they specify the only group you are allowed to have contempt for in this country White middle-class cisgender educated able-bodied Christian English speaker speakers. So let me say that with all their flaws, this group created the finest society known in history to me, at any rate. They— you can't have it both ways. You can't say they're the dominant group and then not give them the credit for how terrific America turned out. So what they have to do is they have to say America turned out as Ibram X. Kendi, who hates this country with a hatred that is palpable and who has the chair Elie Wiesel had at Boston University, to give you an idea of the deterioration, the moral and intellectual deterioration of our society, that it's gone from Elie Wiesel, who was a sort of conscience of humanity, to this America-hating racist, and who has a new article out in The Article about how this country— about how terrible the country is. Anyway, if you think the country If you understand how good the country turned out, then, and you say there has been one dominant group— white, middle-class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied, Christian English speakers— then they must have been quite a group. That's what I believe. They— not because of their race. There's no such thing as because of your race. There's no such thing. You're not better or worse because of your worth. Okay. Because of your race. Teacher explained that this to the students according to the lesson created and maintained the culture in order to hold power and stay in power. How about they created a culture that became better for so many people? Well, listen to what happened. So they gave, you know, this is what they were teaching to their kids. And following the discussion, the teacher had the students deconstruct their own intersectional identities— don't you love that— and circle the identities that hold power and privilege on their identity maps, ranking their traits according to the hierarchy. In a related assignment, the students were asked to write short essays describing which aspects of their identities, quote, hold power and privilege and which do not. So let me just understand, a black kid from a home earning $250,000 is in the non-privileged group. A white kid comes from a home that earns $60,000, is in the privileged group, right? I mean, there's no, there's no other circle for them to circle. There's no other identity for them to circle. All right, and now the lesson caused an immediate uproar among Meyer Hall's elementary school parents. We were shocked, said one parent who agreed to speak with me— that is, the City Journal writer— on condition of anonymity. Notice they never have to be anonymous.

We—

our side has to be anonymous because they will— they know that there will be blowback. They were basically teaching racism to my 8-year-old. That is correct. Now here's the punchline: this parent is Asian American. Oh, that's interesting. Interesting, isn't it? Now, Asian Americans are not white, are they? So they rallied a group of half-dozen families to protect the school's intersectionality— to protest the school's intersectionality curriculum. The group met with the school principal and demanded an end to the racially divisive instruction. After a tense meeting, the administration agreed to suspend the program. When reached for comment, Jen Lashier, the principal of Meyerholtz Elementary, said that the training was not part of a, quote, formula— formal curricula, but the process of daily learning facilitated by a certified teacher. That helps. Despite being 94% non-white, Meyerholtz Elementary is one of the most privileged schools in America. The median household income in Cupertino is $172,000, nearly— and nearly 80% of the residents have a bachelor's degree degree or higher. At the school where the majority of families are Asian American, the students have exceptionally high rates of academic achievement, and the school consistently ranks in the top 1% of all elementary schools statewide. So, uh, yeah, this is true. One parent told me that critical race theory was reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It's exactly right. It divides society between the oppressor and the oppressed. And since these identities are inborn characteristics, people cannot change. The only way to change is via violent revolution. Growing up in China, the parent said, I learned it many times. The outcome is the family will be ripped apart. Husbands hate wife. Husband hates wife. Children hate parents. I think it is already happening here. That is exactly what is happening here. So my daily plea— in fact, hourly plea— either fight your school or get out of your school. Schools have been taken over by people with destructive values, and they will hurt your child's conscience and soul.

All right everybody, Dennis Prager here. One of my 23 favorite guests is now on the show, Ami Horowitz. Hi Ami.

I'm— how are you, Dennis? I feel like every time I come on, that number gets a little bit smaller. I feel like even though I should be in the top 10 ultimately, easily, if not number 1, I do feel like I'm moving up the list. I feel a little bit better about that. That's helped my self-esteem.

Good. It, it was meant as a sincere compliment.

I know, I know.

Yes. By the way, this is not well known about Ami. His parents come from Portugal and Myanmar, a very rare combination. Is that right?

Oh, those summers in Myanmar, unbelievable.

Yeah, I knew it.

I thought you called— by the way, I thought you made a point to call that Burma.

You know what, you got me. You truly got me. I— yes, he's right. That's right, Sean notes in my earphones, you have moved up to 22.

I knew it.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know Ami Horowitz. It is a loss in your life, let me put it that way. He has videos. This is a guy who went on— what would you even call it, a raft? Well, how did you get from Syria to Greece?

No, Turkey to Greece.

And it was—

I would call it a dinghy. It was probably, you know, like a rubber— little rubber dinghy that could put 25 people. I'm a raft. Yeah, no, it wasn't 25 people who are malnourished could fit on one of these things.

When you look back at that, do you have a sense of, "I can't believe I did it"?

Look, every time you, when you've come across the other side safely, you're grateful, and then you tend to have, your perspective seems to always change on it. In this particular example, it's one of those one of the things I always have in my mind of things I should not have done. Now, I'm glad I did it. Obviously, it was, you know, just bizarre, surreal.

That's it. I got— you now came up with the name of your future autobiography: Things I Shouldn't Have Done.

I know.

I think that is a— that is a best-selling autobiography.

It is unfortunately a long list.

Yes, no, that's the reason. Yes, exactly. Ami Horowitz makes videos, ladies and gentlemen, of life on Earth at this time. He can't go abroad now like he did constantly, but he does now concentrate on the United States. Lives in Manhattan, and he interviewed some of his fellow citizens of New York City. I have on a couple of subjects, but my favorite by far is what they thought of Republicans. There is a sequence with a middle-aged woman, to the best of my ability to tell, she's wearing a mask as everybody was, who spoke of herself. I watched it twice to make sure I got it right. Not only am I extremely I am the most empathetic person I know, right? Is that correct?

Look, whenever you hear somebody say, I am the most tolerant and I am the most empathetic, you have to cue that that person is not tolerant or empathetic at all.

That's fair to say. So you then asked her about her attitude towards Republicans. And what did she say?

She says they have no value, they are terrible, they are racist, they're misogynistic, they're homophobic. She can go through all of your, uh, all of your, uh, yeah.

Well, my favorite, my favorite, because I just watched it and you didn't just watch it, you only made it. My favorite, I think I've isolated it. One second. American, is where she is— I don't have it. I will get it again. But anyway, where you say every creature in the world has value, except Republicans.

What it comes down to is when you say you're tolerant, and that tolerance is the ultimate value. There's a self-defeating logic in that because obviously by definition anyone who holds intolerant views are by definition terrible. And it was actually Marxist thought to say that in order to ensure tolerance, you have to eliminate intolerance, right? And that was the excuse they used for killing 10 million people. Again, I'm not comparing these people to Stalinist. But it's, it's, there's more than that. It's, it's, and you spoke this about it a lot, but it's so true. It's the left, for the left, language no longer has meaning. They've perverted language, they destroyed language. It's one of the first things the left does. So the words compromise and tolerance, if you really think about it for a minute, have no meaning to them ultimately. So they use those Hold on there, hold on there, Ami.

I was watching a certain Congressman who I won't name, a former congressman who 5 or 6 times on television right now, he just said, I'm so surprised to see this. I'm so stunned to see this. You can be saddened to see it like I am. But if you're surprised that you're seeing this, then you have done an awful job governing and legislating. This should not be a surprise to anyone that actually understands what is happening in this country. And this is, this is beyond politics at this moment. This is beyond Republican and Democrat. This is a multi-institutional problem that is happening in America. So I want to get into this as we lead. We're waiting for the president of the Senate, the vice president, to reconvene the session. As we promised you, we're going to be covering this live tonight, and we covered it all throughout the day. What drove those people to scale the walls of Congress today, of which I don't support? But why did they do that? The sloppy and the lazy analysis that is being given is because President Trump told them to do that. That's wrong. That's not true. First of all, he didn't tell them to do that. But that is a— that's a simpleton argument. They did that because they don't trust their system. That's why I just heard Jonathan Turley on Fox News, who I think is a very smart guy. And he said, how could these people not trust their system? What's gotten into them? What's gotten into them? They watch the news.

And so I left the prayer chapel right off the rotunda, and actually it's a good thing that I left when I did because it was literally just minutes later that the agitators came, broke into the building and came in. And I'm glad that I wasn't confused with them because I was wearing normal clothes, just normal mom clothes.

But of course we're being confused with them now. Because everyone who's—

by design, Eric, by design—

everyone who's pro-Trump is being accused of being a violent agitator, and I just want to be on the record as saying that is nonsense. It's worse than nonsense. It's an evil lie, and we need to keep saying that over and over because this is a truly despicable lie, and we have to say it over and over and remind ourselves and everyone who's listening what nonsense this is, that a few hundred people— we don't know who they are. Obviously some of them were pro-Trump, some of them now we—

okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here. Ami Horowitz is my guest. He makes these videos about humanity, my way of putting it. Dennis Prager. He asked a number of questions to his fellow citizens of Manhattan, and the first one was, uh, are you tolerant? And then asked them what they thought of Republicans. So the, the answers were, that I recall, were of course this woman who said she was the most empathetic person in the world, literally. I mean, she meant took it seriously, then said that Republicans, of all the creatures of the earth, the Republicans are the lowest or something like that. And then others, the young people you interviewed said they're monstrous. I remember that, monstrous. And of course selfish. You know, Republicans give more charity and donate more time to volunteering than Democrats do. But they don't know that. I'll tell you, the only area in which the left is superior or ranks higher than the right is self-esteem. That they're there, they are the inventors of the self-esteem movement, and they are the practitioners of the self-esteem movement. What was the second question you asked.

Well, so once, once we've established their level of intolerance, we then moved on to compromise. And because, look, now, what's the catchword that all the Democrats are using? Unity. We have to unify. We have to get together. Now, you and I both know, certainly suspected, but we really know, when they say unify, they really mean unify on their issues and their perspectives and their way of doing things. So I decided to put to the test. I did a little bit of an acid test. I said, okay, should we compromise? How important is that? Of course, across the board, they talk about how important and vital it is to compromise, to move forward after these dark 4 years. So then we said, okay, let's talk about all the major issues. And I started naming them. Can we— what can we— how can we compromise on healthcare? How can we compromise on climate change? How can we compromise on income inequality. And without— Dennis, I know sometimes you say, well, how many of these people really respond in this way? And usually it's always a majority. Usually it's 60, 70, 80%. 100% of people I spoke with could not or refused to find a single compromise. In fact, it's rare that I put an exchange with someone longer than 20, 30 seconds. Because anything longer than that, it just gets boring. But one of the first times I put an exchange between me and another woman over a minute, because it was so elucidating, it was so fascinating, she brought up to me, she said, well, we can compromise on climate change. And I said, well, how can we do that? And she couldn't come up with a single— and every time I said, well, can we— I offered common sense compromise, she would say, no, no, no, we can't compromise that. No, we can't compromise on fracking or ANWR. Or cafe standards or anything. At the end, I was so frustrated. I kept asking, well, what are you— a compromise means you have to give something. What are you willing to give? And she couldn't come up with one. I finally, you know, said, I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the word compromise. I think it was so frustrating to hear them say, I want to compromise, and then simply couldn't find one area of compromise. Not one.

And then there was a third question, which eludes me. What was that? Do you remember?

I think that was, I think the third was going through all the different examples of possible, oh no, at the end I asked them, well, do you, now that we've gone through this exercise, right, in real time, what do you think of compromise? And they all said, well, now that you say it this way, maybe there isn't compromise. Maybe I'm not willing to compromise. They all kind of admitted that, you know what, And of course they will use grand terms. One woman said, if it's good for humanity and for everybody, then we can't compromise, right? Because the left always likes to use grand language because they're such a grand theology to help all mankind. But they really, they didn't have some self-realization of saying, well, okay, for issues that I care about, there's no compromise.

I have said, I'm very honored you're an avid listener, so you know that I've said this really as long as I broadcast, and I could tell you where I learned it. Whenever people— even my side— whenever people call for unity, there's a falseness at the heart of it because it's unity on my terms. And I learned it from, interestingly, religious people. And I remember when I did my first radio show, Ami, you—

Religion on the Line. The first time I called in at 12 years old was Religion on the Line.

I love that. That's right. I forget that. That's great. You called my show. Now I call you.

How do you like that?

That's really— that you've really risen. So yes, he heard me when he was 12. I was 14. Anyway, I remember when Catholic priests and Protestant ministers on the show, because it was clergy and there was a rabbi as well each week, did this for 10 years and loved it. And periodically the priest or the minister would say, it's so important to have Christian unity. So I found that very interesting. So I would ask the priest, so for for the sake of Christian unity, would you give up the papacy? I mean, the Protestants don't recognize the Bishop of Rome as having authority. No, no, no, I can't give up the Pope, obviously. So I would ask the Protestants, are you prepared to accept the Pope for the sake of unity of Christians, right? And a whole bunch of other questions. Are you going to accept the Catholic sacraments? And they go, well, can't do that. So then the same with the Jews, you know, oh, we want Jewish unity. So I would ask, you know, the Orthodox rabbi, okay, so are you prepared to accept the intermarriages of Reform rabbis? Well, can't do that. And then, you know, same with the Reform. So everybody, and I liked all these people. I had no issue with them. So people I like, even their calls for unity are false. We all want unity on our terms. I want unity in America. I want everybody to believe in liberty, e pluribus unum, and in God we trust. So that's— sorry for the long soliloquy here, but that's what your video promises.

That's exactly right. You're exactly right. And look, it is not— it is part of the problem for the left anyways, when it comes to unity, is they don't get it because— and again, you've said this a million times, it's so true— they have no connection whatsoever to the right. They don't have friends who are on the right. They don't look at the right-wing media or even right-of-center media.

That's right. Hold on.

Obama didn't incite anything from Black Lives Matter. He didn't incite them or that shooter to do that. I mean, so why Are you listening to idiots that bring that kind of stuff up?

Is that a question? Hey, is that a question? No, no, no, no, no. First, I'm going to respond to that, if you allow me to, please.

Yeah.

Uh, lots of police officers, Hayes, felt that Barack Obama, because of his constant criticism of police officers, created the atmosphere that allowed these three black men to believe falsely that the police were engaging, uh, in racial brutality against black people. They posted it on social media, they told their friends, and one of the major policemen organizations put out a statement and blamed Obama for creating this kind of atmosphere. So a lot of people felt that way, Hayes. I know you didn't. I know the media didn't. My point is, if you're going to make this argument about Donald Trump— let me finish, please. Let me finish, please. If you're going to make the argument that Donald Trump has created this atmosphere, then the same argument can be made about Barack Obama, but the left doesn't want to do that.

No, no, I live in Dallas.

After they looked in the background of that gentleman that killed those 5 brave police officers, right? He didn't have a bunch of postings on social media. He didn't have a bunch of stuff like that.

And he was, he was, he was, he, yes, he was, he was, he was, he was motivated. Hayes, Hayes, Hayes, what was it? What was his motivation, Hayes?

I don't know. What was it?

The man did what he did because he was motivated by this lie that the police are engaging in racial brutality against Black people. A lie that was pushed by Obama, that was pushed by Eric Holder, that was pushed by Loretta Lynch, and it caused that large police officers organization to say that Barack Obama had created an atmosphere that encouraged people to do this.

Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here speaking with Ami Horowitz, whose video is up at DennisPrager.com, taking with folks in Manhattan. We don't have a lot of time, Ami. I want to make a suggestion, and it's all it is, obviously, but you know how much I admire your work. I actually think it would be a very powerful thing to just do question number 1 in New York City. What do you think of Republicans? What do you say to that?

Yeah, no, I think that in itself is an entire, uh, easily entire video.

And I'd like to— I'd like you, forgive me, I'd like you as well to ask, uh, and I don't know what they would answer. I know what they would answer to the first one, but is it wrong for a child of a Trump-supporting parent not to speak to that parent?

Yeah, that's good. That's good.

It would create great sadness for me to hear their answers. Um, but yeah, I think, I think again, I think it's illuminating. I think it gives us perspective on, on what they really think of us and why we can't— well, it's almost impossible to find unity with them because of their How could you unify with people you have disdain for? How can you come together with people that you have hatred for? Because that's what it comes down to. We don't have hatred for them.

That's right. That's why I acknowledge I'm not— I don't call for unity. I call for defeating the left to protect liberty. It's— I'm honest about that. There are a lot of questions I would love you to explore. Ask young people in Manhattan. Do you have any American heroes?

Well, that's good. I'm taking notes.

I know, I know, I know you are. My brain is just coming at you. You're provoking these thoughts. What would I like people to know that with regards to how people are thinking today? I would— by the way, that last one, I, I don't even I don't even know what they would say. They're not going to say George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, right? No, no, seriously. So, uh, they— I would say they'll say Martin Luther King, uh, and then maybe somebody now. But so maybe you should ask, not living, can you name an— do you have any American heroes who are dead?

TV is here.

Yeah, by the way, if they say, uh, uh, Martin Luther King, once I tell them he was, he was rabidly pro-Israel, uh, they may change their tune.

And rabidly pro-integration, correct?

Correct.

All right, everybody, this is Ami Horowitz, who's moved up to one of my 22 favorite guests. It's, it's, I tell you, I, uh, fills It fills me with joy to announce that. Ami, you're terrific. Amihorowitz.com, or just go to his video at DennisPrager.com. I'm going to take some of your calls when we return. You're listening to The Dennis Prager Show.

This is Albert Mohler for TownHall.com. The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition. A prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order. That means policies. It means a covenant. In our case, it means a Constitution. As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history. It's a remarkable document. All of that came to the fore in violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College. At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient, but that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place. It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the President of the United States.

We will never give up.

We will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved.

It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm once again our commitment to ordered liberty. It's the American way. I'm Albert Mohler.

A lot of conversation around incitement. There's a lot of conversation around did people call for specific action that resulted in the illegal acts and the criminal acts of last week. But let's take a step back and ask ourselves the question: has the media been covering for violent action in recent time? The answer is absolutely yes. From GQ magazine, why violent protests work. Now, let me be very clear. I don't share these views. We've talked about the difference between civil discord and civil disobedience. We've talked about how once you go to violence, you lose public opinion and you destroy other people's stuff and you could kill people, and that is not moral. However, this article by Laura Bassett goes through piece by piece why she believes violent protests work. And you can go back to a flashback where Chris Cuomo cut 3, where he says, please show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Let's go to cut 3.

Now, too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets— persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice. And please, Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

So now they're going out of their way to call it an insurrection. However, back then they said, show me where it has to show polite and peaceful.

I think we're already there. I think when you have Salesforce say that they will not host the Republican National Committee, then all of a sudden those lines have been drawn. When you have Shopify that says that President Trump's campaign can't sell hats or T-shirts, when you have Spotify that says the president cannot use their platform. We're already there.

If you are a Trump opponent, Do you not understand that when President Trump brings his inevitable lawsuit against the constitutionality of the impeachment proceeding trial against him in the Senate, and he I want you to hear—

I played it the first hour, it's just a moment, it's a few seconds, about 25 seconds— of a congresswoman from Missouri describing the president at the impeachment non-hearings of the House yesterday. Do we have our congresswoman up there, Sean?

Madam Speaker, St. Louis and I rise in support of the article of impeachment against Donald J. Trump. If we fail to remove a white supremacist president who incited a white supremacist insurrection, it's Communities like Missouri's 1st District that suffer the most. The 117th Congress must understand that we have a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives. The first step in that process is to root out white supremacy, starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief. Thank you, and I yield back.

Wow.

It's a true, uh, it's just a, it's a big lie. Donald Trump, you can say many things about, but white supremacist? The, the left labels, it doesn't back it with facts. It doesn't have to. It's just, it's Lenin perfected it, and it went Stalin, and then the rest of the left. You smear your opponents and you have the media to back you, so the smear becomes reality. Well, that's, that's exactly what is happening in the United States. The left-wing media serve the same purpose that they did in communist countries, exact same purpose. They are just lying in order to further the party. That's it. Fill in the name of the party. In this case, Democratic Party, which has become a left-wing party, not a liberal party. Nobody— is there one opinion piece In the New York Times, LA Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Louisville Courier-Journal, Miami Herald, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, um, what is it, the, uh, what's there, it's our Minnesota paper, the famous Minnesota paper, Minneapolis Star Tribune. Is there one one opinion piece, one, that is calling out this, this labeling this lie a lie? No, of course not. Now obviously all the news pieces that will report it just report it. So you look to the opinion page, but the opinion pages are to the left of even the news pages, which is there, and they're almost indistinguishable. So nobody, nobody who relies on mainstream media hears anyone say, wait a minute, wait, you've just been lied to. Trump may be narcissistic, Trump may be impetuous, Trump may be irresponsible in many of the things that he tweets. But white supremacist? I think that his interest in the color of a person is as low as you can get. I think it matters to him. Anyway, there is zero evidence that he's a white supremacist. Zero. He was called an anti-Semite for the first year of his of his administration. First anti-Semite to have a practicing Jewish daughter and practicing Jewish grandchildren. Quite, quite a remarkable feat. Yeah, guys, pro-Nazi. He likes people who would wipe out his family. We bathe in the left's lies. We bathe in their 16:19. But it's very hard. If you tell people that men give birth enough, they will start believing men give birth. This is my proof text for how the country is blanketed by lies that people then assimilate into their consciences, consciousness. White supremacist in chief. Wow. Yeah, and he just— you take out lines from his speech, he said to go peacefully to the— he said the words before everything happened, go peacefully to the Capitol. We have to fight. That's— that is now a call for a riot. There isn't a politician of right or left who has not said people have to fight. Nobody takes it literally. 1-800-PRAGER-776. Tony in Pittsburgh, hello.

I called to talk about unity. I'm a progressive, um, but having heard your last guest, I'd love to answer some of the questions that you want to ask.

I know, I know you would, and I feel for you. I'm not kidding, but you have to talk about the subject that I see on the, on the board.

Sure, no problem.

Um, thank you.

We could probably— oh, I'm sorry, there's a box in the post. I am sorry about that.

Um, it's okay.

We could probably come together on both term limits and publicly funded elections. What do you think?

When people say can't unity, they don't mean can we agree on any given one or two policies. Is that a police siren?

Yeah, I'm on the highway and there's an accident.

Yeah, okay, I was just curious. Don't worry about it. So unity doesn't mean that you agree on one or two policies. Of course people people might. So my position on those two matters is irrelevant, because even if I agree with you, there's no left-right unity. There's agreement. I mean, there's agreements on a whole host of issues. People think we should fund the Veterans Administration. That doesn't mean—

because of politics, we're stuck in between having to choose sides, correct?

No, not because of politics, because of morality.

Well, so morally you and I can't agree to get money out of politics?

No, no, of course we might.

Uh, so that's not unity then? What is that? Yeah, if that's not unity, what is it?

That's agreement on one policy.

That's not unity?

No, it is not. I still consider the left a mortal threat to America even if I agree with term limits.

What about publicly funded elections?

Do you agree with getting money out of politics?

The— it's impossible. And it's—

In America, a conservative is saying something is impossible? That's hard to believe.

Okay, so there you are. I've made you a believer. It's a great call. So every time that I have seen in my life electoral reform, you know, let's clean up politics. All it has done is made things worse. Do you know the reason there is such gigantic money in politics now? It is because— one of the reasons is we have limited the ability of individuals to give more than $2,000 or whatever the number is. So what they've done is they made PACs. PACs are the result of individuals not being able to give as much money as they want. In a free country, people do what they want with their money. That was the issue. That was the issue with the Supreme Court.

Does—

do companies and unions have the right to contribute to campaigns? By the way, I would be thrilled right now to get companies out of campaigns because they're all giving to the Democrats.

So then publicly funded elections is also something that we could agree upon.

There's no— and I don't—

I agree.

No, we still don't have unity.

Yes, of course we don't. Agreement on one or two policies doesn't mean that there's unity in the country. We each see the other as a mortal threat to the society. The fact that we will agree on a given policy does not negate that. I wish it did, but everything I hold dear, the left has contempt for. That's it. That I hold dear: In God We Trust, E Pluribus Unum, and, uh, and Liberty. The three, the three pillars of the American faith system. The, the left has contempt for all of them. Multiculturalism, not E Pluribus Unum. Equality, not Liberty. And God is a joke.

In the short term, their capital flows will benefit them. These companies have such insane amounts of uninterrupted capital. They're allowed to do foolish things like this. Yeah, but that will end up getting challenged if we do our job. And that's where the coalition of Republican states need to get in the subsidizing and the investing of— I just call it First Amendment infrastructure.

I love it. First Amendment infrastructure. Let's build it. Let's create a campaign. I want to be part of it. Charlie Kirk is going to lead the way. We can defeat those who wish to use big tech to undermine our civil rights. Oh, and by the way, Where are the libertarians? Huh, strangely so quiet. What a surprise there.

If you are a Trump opponent, do you not understand? That when—

listening to the Dennis Prager Show. Last, the caller from Pittsburgh. Said, well, these are progressive, there really can be unity, we can unite, for example, term limits. And I responded that agreeing on any given policy does not mean unity. How about big things? Can we unite since big tech controls speech in America? That they actually be outlawed if they start censoring opinions. If we could agree on that, then I was wrong. Then there really is unity in America possible. There's a possibility of unity. If we can't unite on free speech, it's a joke if we unite on term limits. Term limits is trivial, utterly and totally trivial. When it comes— when in comparison to the suppression of free speech in this country. See if we could unite on that. But we can't unite on that. That's the point. That's the whole point. If the left allows free speech, there is no more left. That's what people do not understand. It's not just a power grab when the left suppresses speech. It's a survival mechanism. The left cannot survive dissent. The right thrives on it. We love when people call our shows and disagree. We love when they line up at colleges and disagree. We would love to have debates in our classrooms. We would love it. But they don't allow it. And they're right. The left cannot survive dissent. That's why they crush it. But if we could unite on free speech, you can have almost anything you want. I'm fine. Because this is the holy of holies, free speech. And there is no example in history of the left tolerating it.

It.

None. Liberals are weaklings. They are self-imposed naive when they don't understand the mortal threat the left constitutes. The newest one is anybody who supported Trump should be removed from polite society is an article by a hater. Named David Kaye, a former United Nations special rapporteur on freedom of expression. What a joke. David Kaye, I invite you on to my show, okay? I publicly invite these people all the time. It's nothing, this hate-filled piece. If you work for the Trump administration, you have no place. No college should hire you. He teaches at UC Irvine Law School, one of the truly hate-filled institutions of our country. Yeah, that's what it is. So you want to, you want to unite? How about unite on free speech? But you can't. Remember that, folks. Tell us to your kids. They suppress it because they can't survive it. That's the reason. That's the whole reason. That's why they have so much opposition to one conservative showing up. Yes, rabble-rousing Heather MacDonald, or rabble-rousing Dennis Prager, or Victor Davis Hanson, or Ben Shapiro. Watch any of us speak at a college. It's all on YouTube. See, what is it exactly that prevents us from speaking? Everybody knows. Everybody on our side knows. There's this deep fear that if students hear us, they might change their minds. That's why they loathe Prager University, and they don't— they very rarely refute it, but when they do, it's somewhat intellectually pathetic. Uh, what they do is smear it. Oh, Prager University, which is not even a university. We don't claim— we, we write on the, the front page, as it were, of our website that it's not accredited as a university, but it is a place to learn. You learn a hell of a lot more, in fact, than at almost any university in this country. If you watch the 450 5-minute videos at PragerU, you will know more about life than getting a BA or a PhD at almost any university in this country. So this is this article by this hate-filled professor David Kay. More hate comes from the left on any given day than all of the right in a given year. So should any of this be available to departing Trump administration officials? In other words, be hired by a think tank or by university. As a group, they carried out his awful policies. Like what? They don't— they never specify. Never. This is the commonality of their thing. Like the woman who said that Trump is the white supremacist-in-chief. Give me an example. David Kay, you're a law professor, though. Isn't evidence— isn't evidence relevant? They carried out his awful policies. Which ones? They legitimized Trump by their complicity. Everybody legitimizes a president by their complicity. Anyway, complicity is such a loaded word, this complicity in crime. They did— they legitimize Trump's raising of the economy, of lowering the unemployment rate to the lowest level in recorded history for Black America? Were they complicit in that too, David Kaye of UC Irvine Law School, with your hate-filled diatribe in the LA Times, which of course would never publish publish any refutation of what you wrote. They wouldn't publish it in the LA Times. They used to. I used to write for the LA Times. I was a fairly regular columnist there. And then the left took over. It was always liberal. But when the left takes over, there is no dissent. They participated in undermining the democratic process. Really? The democratic process was undermined by the Trump administration? How exactly, David Kay of UC Irvine Law School? How exactly? Do you lie to your students like you lie in the LA Times? They undermine the democratic process? Really? In what election exactly? Perpetuated lies from podiums. Like which ones? Or do they compare to the The lie of the New York Times that America was founded in 1619 and fought the Revolutionary War to perpetuate slavery. Attack the press. Of course they attack the press because they only publish hate like you, like your article. Now of course we attack the press. The press is a farce in the United States. I studied Russian to read Pravda. Now I have English to read the LA Times. There is no difference. It's a propaganda machine that you write for. Will they publish anything that anybody has to say against your piece? Of course not. That's why we attack the press.

The Dennis Prager Show, live from the Relief Factor Pain-Free Studio.

This is Albert Mohler for TownHall.com. The American experiment is founded upon a presupposition, a prior commitment to an ordered liberty, an established order. That means policies, it means a covenant, in our case it means a Constitution. As of right now, the U.S. Constitution is the longest surviving written constitution in human history. It's a remarkable document. All of that came to the fore in violent events that interrupted the joint session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College. At the end of the day, our constitutional order proved itself once again resilient. But that doesn't take away any of the tragedy and the horror of what took place. It was an enormous stress test on ordered liberty, a stress test brought on by the president of the United States.

We will never give up.

We will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved.

It's an opportunity for the right, the left, conservatives, liberals, all Americans to repudiate political violence and reaffirm once again our commitment to ordered liberty. It's the American way. I'm Albert Mohler.

A lot of conversation around incitement. There's a lot of conversation around did people call for specific action that resulted in the illegal acts and the criminal acts of last week? But let's take a step back and ask ourselves the question, has the media been covering for violent action in recent time? The answer is absolutely yes. From GQ magazine, why violent protests work. Now, let me be very clear. I don't share these views. We've talked about the difference between civil discord and civil disobedience. We've talked about how once you go to violence, you lose public opinion and you destroy other people's stuff and you could kill people. And that is not moral. However, this article by Laura Bassett or Bassett, Bassett goes through piece by piece why she believes violent protests work. And you can go back to a flashback where Chris Cuomo cut 3, where he says, please show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Let's go to cut 3.

Now, too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice. And please show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

So now they're going out of their way to call it an insurrection. However, back then they said, show me where it has to show polite and peaceful.

But Democrats challenged the election in 2000, challenged the election in 2004, challenged the election in 2016, the first week of January, the first week of the following year, all lawfully making protests the same as Ted Cruz and the others were about ready to do until this riot took place. Did any of you tell Hillary to stop referring to President Trump as illegitimate? Of course not, because you benefited. 78%, according to Gallup— that's a poll you guys like— 78% of Democrats believed not just that the Russians interfered, which everybody agreed with, including Trump, but that the interference changed the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. Jay Johnson testified, yeah.

All right, I got a number of challenges here, which is wonderful. Greg, St. Petersburg, Florida. Hello.

Well, Mr. Prager, happy historic second impeachment. I wanted to ask you, how many liberal or leftist commentators How many commentators are there on the Salem radio network?

Zero.

And how is that different than a newspaper not having any conservative viewpoints?

I'll tell you the difference, and I'm so, so anxious to hear your reaction. We tell the truth. We call ourselves a conservative talk station. The LA Times lies in not acknowledging that it's a leftist newspaper. If they If they did, I would say nothing about the media. The media perpetrate the greatest fraud in claiming that they're not leftist.

And what do they claim that they are? What does the LA Times—

that they claim that they are truth tellers. You didn't answer my question, by the way. You didn't answer my question. And by the way, you could say— you could even say I don't want to. I don't— I But I don't want to let it die. It's the key thing. We acknowledge we're conservative. The media do not acknowledge they're leftist. So we tell— this is who we are.

But is your opinion that the media is leftist?

You just said, what is the difference between us not having leftists and the LA Times not having rightists? So you acknowledge that they don't have rightists.

What difference does it make? You don't have leftists. I don't get—

God Almighty, folks, I am known for my patience. It's not that we disagree, it's that the logic has just ceased to be functional. Man calls up. Let me review this for all of you and for him. It might help him. Do you at Salem have anybody on the left?

No.

So what is the difference between Salem and the rest of them and the mainstream media? Difference. Dennis Prager answers: we acknowledge we're conservative, they don't acknowledge they're leftist. Yeah, but you don't, you don't have any leftists, just as like they don't have any rightists. Which is exactly my point. So they are left-wing, we are right-wing. We acknowledge we're right-wing. They don't acknowledge they're left-wing. That's why they don't have anybody on the right writing for them. It's exactly right. Why is that difficult? I'll tell you why it's difficult. Because to acknowledge that is to acknowledge the great fraud that the media and the schools are. Yale claims that it is devoted to truth. It's devoted to producing left-wing students. If they said that, I would never attack the schools, ever. It's the lie of the media that we're not leftist. It's the lie of the universities that we're not leftist that is so morally reprehensible. It's the fraud perpetrated on the American people. Tune into NBC, you will get— you will get the truth. We're as close to the truth as we can get. Okay, I know it's clear to everybody except Greg, and I'm sorry about that. Jake, Sacramento, California. Hello.

How are you, Dennis?

Okay.

Hey, uh, yeah, I've really enjoyed your comments over the years. Um, I just, um, have a little bit of difficulty when you start talking about us versus them. And I hear a little "they's" and "them" once in a while, and I cringe a little bit because I want to have people who are on the other side of this not feel like they're being attacked or not really, you know, something like that. I just think that everyone has their idiosyncrasies. Whenever I point a finger at somebody, there's usually 3 fingers pointing back at me. So I try not to get into the us versus themisms of the world. I try to, uh, try challenge myself to say things like we. And I heard, when I listened to you on the River Zone line, I really enjoyed that, but as well just like you were just speaking with Andrew this last hour. I think we can all challenge ourselves to try to build bridges instead of, you know, dig trenches between the two. When you point out things, you really do well. When you point out the differences, I think that goes a long way. I don't think we have ourselves to, to say us versus them. It just, it just doesn't equate with the goodness.

Are you against censoring free speech?

Yes, I am against that.

So how do you differ from me?

I just, I just think that a choice of words is—

so you wouldn't say, you wouldn't say I am for free speech but, but they at Google or not. You wouldn't, you would never phrase it that way. So people who are censoring speech are sort of— there, there, there aren't people. I don't know what language could be used. There are people in this country who are suppressing free speech at the greatest rate in American history. I think they're a mortal threat to the most important freedom the human being has. I don't know what language I could use if not I and them, or we and them, or we and they, to be more grammatically accurate. So that's my response. Relief Factor is one of the greatest products I've ever advertised. The story of how I got to it is very simple. They asked if I would. I never endorsed a painkiller before. I wasn't going to do this one. Then my wife said, oh, I, I just want you to know, been using it for a long time and it completely cures my knee pain. That did it. Then I started using it and it's a phenomenal product. Try it for 3 weeks for $19.95. ReliefFactor.com, 800-500-8384.

Immediately, my first response once I heard about what was going on is that this was, this was a planned event. It had to be a planned event because I had been outside with these people for 2 days, and they were the happiest, most joyful people. You had the prayer people who were there, a lot of prayer people, and then you also had what I would call the patriot people, people who were there giving speeches, you know, carrying flags and that sort of thing. But again, not one angry speech. I didn't hear an angry speech, no mob mentality. There was nothing like that whatsoever. And there was actually a fairly scant presence of Capitol Police outside the building, at least on the east side. There just weren't that many people. There weren't that many Capitol Police. And it was surprising. I've been there when it's been joint sessions of Congress, when the vice president has been there. You can't get anywhere near that building.

So it's crazy, right? What could be more important? You have the entire United States government gathered together in one room. You would think that there'd be more security there than for anything in the world. And somehow—

Exactly, especially when there's a million people outside on the streets. That's what— none of it made sense. And after the event happened, every single piece of evidence that came showed me this was clearly a planned event. This was a planned event designed to do exactly what you're seeing day after day. It's identity theft. Theft. This was the left's victory. The left planned this, and their victory is that they are stealing President Trump's identity.

And remember when Nicole Hannah-Jones, cut 5, said that destroying property which can be replaced is not violence? Let's play cut 5.

Destroying property which can be replaced is not violence. And to put those things, to use the exact same language to describe those two things, I think really is not— it's not moral to do that.

So that's not moral to do that, to conflate rioting and looting and destruction. But the rioting, looting, and destruction is perfectly moral according to Nikole Hannah-Jones. Now, Nikole Hannah-Jones was never called to task for her, quote unquote, incitement or using her freedom of speech to do that. And so we go back through this for a very specific reason, because What you have here is 300,000 to 400,000 Trump supporters that went to the Washington Monument, a fraction that went to the Capitol. Now, a lot of people that were going to the Capitol did not know that.

I want to remind you of a sponsor that is relatively new and has already had a great response because I maybe 3 times in my life I've called companies I've so been helped by and I said, why don't you advertise on my show. Nerve Renew is one of them. I've had— oh, it's just genetic. I've had this in my, my feet for about 25 years, this tingling, this burning numbness. And, uh, finally I got inserts which helped because it lifted the bone from the nerve, and I threw away the inserts last year after 10 years after I started taking Nerve Renew. So that's why I called them. It's pretty impressive. They offer a 2-week trial of their product and a 1-year money-back guarantee at nerve-renew.com. Order your 2-week trial now. Nerve-renew.com. I am Dennis Prager, renewed every day here. Renewed in order to be of service to you. Yeah, okie dokie. That is— we really covered the very, very basic stuff here. By the way, David Kaye, this professor of law, wrote this hate-filled piece against people who supported or worked for Trump. So here's the story. I invite the man for an hour onto to this show and let me speak to, uh, one of your classes. How about that? I'll go to UC Irvine Law and I will give you millions of listeners. You will give me 50, and that's fine. That's a, it's a fair deal. And in fact, you could even take an hour here, and I'll take, uh, since there are commercials, give you 40. So count this 45 minutes. I could take 45 minutes. How about a swap? Okay, that's my open invitation to David Kaye to have a national audience to defend his piece in the LA Times calling for the shunning and boycotting. He salutes Simon Schuster for not publishing Josh Hawley's book. He thinks that's just great. That's it. Every leftist is a totalitarian. Liberals are not. So I know this guy's a leftist, he's not a liberal. But I totally invited on— I invite people on all the time. They won't come for the— for a good reason. Any other ideas must be suppressed or the left crumbles. It is rooted in helium. It's a balloon. My picture of all leftist thought is a balloon.

Balloon.

One little needle, no matter how big the balloon, a little needle destroys it. The little needle is conservative thought. That's why they censor us. We don't censor them. We invite them. I had a professor on for an hour from UCLA, a violinist and a professor. He wouldn't play for me when I conducted the Santa Monica Symphony orchestra at the Disney Concert Hall, the Haydn Symphony. He wouldn't play because I'm a conservative, and then all the other terms. I had him on the show, though he boycotted me. Think they do that? Did I get to speak to his classroom at UCLA? Just remind all your relatives about that. You censor us. We invite you on. Big difference, and there's a good reason for it. Conservative thought is the little needle, and leftist thought is a gigantic balloon. Always, always. Has Ibram X. Kendi debated anybody? Hmm, curious, just curious. And is he called out for not doing so? That is exactly right. All right, God in LA. Hello, God of LA.

Hi, sir, how are you doing today?

Okay.

So, um, every time I listen to people who disagree with you and come to you and they ask their question, you answer, and then you ask them a question and they refuse to acknowledge that they're wrong reminds me of what somebody said 40 years ago. His name was Fredoun Farrokhzad, a Persian thinker and showman who was murdered in his house in England by the ayatollahs. He said in one of his shows that it is better to be a prostitute of body and not prostitute your mind. It always reminds me of that.

I love that. God, thank you. And remember, berim pishah ayatollah daras behunim. That's the only Farsi phrase I know. Let's all go study with the ayatollah. Anyway, that is great. He is so right. I must admit that I have much greater contempt for the people who have prostituted our universities and our media than for prostitutes. There's no comparison, especially since the prostitute— back to the honesty issue— I admit I'm a prostitute, this is what I do, but the left-wing press doesn't. Does Salem have any left-wing talk show hosts? No, we don't. We call ourselves conservative. Conservative. Does the LA Times have any conservative writers? No, it doesn't. But it doesn't call itself left-wing. We're honest, they lie. That's a big difference, folks. The day that the New York Times changes its phony motto, "All the news that's fit to print," to "We serve progressive policies," I will not attack it anymore. That's all it should do. It has this little box on the top from the beginning, all the news that's fit to print. No, that's not true. It's a lie. That's a big, big difference. Voorhees, New Jersey. Larry. Hello, Larry.

Hi, how are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

Listen, uh, so where, where do we go from here? And that you never see, or we never see, where are the Republican elected officials? Where are the congressmen taking on this, this woman calling the president what she did on the House floor? Where are these people? Where are these voices?

You know, that's a great— that I gotta think break. That's a great question. I agree with you. Some do— well, look, I played Jim Jordan yesterday, Tom McClintock. They were terrific. They really were great. Matt Gaetz. So I don't want to make a sweeping thing, but somebody should get up and say, you lied about a man. You owe him an apology or proof of what you charged.

Obama didn't incite any thing from Black Lives Matter. He didn't incite them or that shooter to do that. I mean, so why are you listening to idiots that bring that kind of stuff up?

Is that a question? Hey, Hayes, is that a question? No, no, no, no, no. First, I'm going to respond to that, if you allow me to, please.

Yeah.

Uh, lots of police officers, Hayes, felt that Barack Obama, because of his constant criticism of police officers, created the atmosphere that allowed these 3 black men to believe falsely that the police were engaging in racial brutality against black people. They posted it on social media, they told their friends, and one of the major policemen organizations put out a statement and blamed Obama for creating this kind of atmosphere. So a lot of people felt that way, Hayes. I know you didn't. I know the media didn't. My point is, if you're going to make this argument about Donald Trump— let me finish, please. Let me finish, please. If you're going to make the argument argument that Donald Trump has created this atmosphere, then the same argument can be made about Barack Obama, but the left doesn't want to do that.

No, no, I live in Dallas.

After they looked in the background of that gentleman that killed those 5 brave police officers, right, he didn't have a bunch of postings on social media. He didn't have a bunch of stuff like that.

And he was, he was, he was, he, yes, he was, he was, he was, he was motivated. Hayes, Hayes, Hayes, what was it? What was his motivation, Hayes?

I don't know.

What was it?

The man did what he did because he was motivated by this lie that the police are engaging in racial brutality against Black people, a lie that was pushed by Obama, that was pushed by Eric Holder, that was pushed by Loretta Lynch. And it caused that large police officers organization to say that Barack Obama had created an atmosphere that encouraged people to do this.

I was watching a certain congressman who I won't name, a former congressman who 5 or 6 times on television right now, he just said, I'm so surprised to see this. I'm so stunned to see this. You can be saddened to see it like I am, but if you're surprised that you're seeing this, then you have done an awful job governing and legislating. This should not be a surprise to anyone that actually understands what is happening in this country. And this is, this is beyond politics at this moment. This is beyond Republican and Democrat. This is a multi-institutional problem. That is happening in America. So I want to get into this as we lead. We're waiting for the president of the Senate, the vice president, to reconvene the session. As we promised you, we're going to be covering this live tonight, and we covered it all throughout the day. What drove those people to scale the walls of Congress?

Hi everybody. Wouldn't that be a great deal? I'm gonna give that to Professor David Kaye, an hour of national radio, and all I want is a half hour even. I'll reduce it to speak to any of his class who have never heard an intellectual who defends the president, right? Never heard that. Because UC Irvine Law School is hermetically sealed against any dissenting thought, like nearly all our law schools and certainly all our universities in general. It's the hermetic seal that keeps them in power. That's why they can't allow Parler to exist. The reason the left suppresses speech everywhere it has ever gained power is that it cannot survive dissent. That's the reason. That's what people need to understand. Yep. Let me review your calls here. JR in Greenville, South Carolina: Trump has a great record. What has the left done? The left destroys Trump. Basically, his policies were awesome. The good he did for this country is tremendous. The obsequiousness to Iran and China that will follow in the Biden administration is scary. The crushing of the economy by printing more money to cover up their vast expenses in the name of hysteria over climate change, for example. Will be unnoted by the press because they will support it. Janet Prescott, Arizona: The ACLU used to defend Nazis. That is correct, though to its credit, amazingly, the ACLU has come out against the censorship of Parler, if I'm not mistaken. The ACLU was another left-wing organization with this big exception that just occurred. But you're right, I remember when the ACLU defended the Nazis' march in Skokie, Illinois. I was a kid. Skokie, Illinois was the home of many Holocaust survivors. So these despicable people, Nazis, decided to bring the swastikas back into their neighborhood. And liberals defended it. Liberals are much more comfortable, or were more comfortable, with Nazi marches than they are with conservative websites today. That's what's— it's astonishing what's happened to them, to the liberal. Alrighty, everybody, wish I could take all your calls. I can't. Don't forget, I got a cruise coming up in June. They all sell out. This one's from London to Iceland. Banner is at my website. And I'm taking a big group to Israel in October. That banner is also at my website. We all need these trips. So look forward to being with you then and tomorrow.
