The Dennis Prager Show LIVE
In this live broadcast, Dennis Prager hosts a multi‑hour talk‑radio program that weaves together political commentary, listener calls, and promotional segments. Prager repeatedly attacks what he calls the left’s obsession with “political prisoners,” critical race theory (CRT), and anti‑racism curricula, arguing that schools are teaching only the negative aspects of American history. He denounces the NFL’s decision to play the so‑called “Black National Anthem” before games, framing it as a threat to national unity. The show includes discussions on Israel and the Jewish state, the unemployment of Palestinians, and a Christian perspective supporting Israel. Prager and callers criticize LGBTQ visibility, specifically a gay men’s choir, labeling it part of a “gay agenda.” He challenges COVID‑19 mask mandates and vaccine policies, calling masks “adult pacifiers” and questioning public‑health guidance. The program also features guests such as Sebastian Gorka, Larry Elder, Hugh Hewitt, and Matthew Lohmeier, who expand on themes of victimhood ideology, military‑related China‑Taiwan tensions, and the erosion of civil liberties. Interspersed are advertisements for Relief Factor, Job Creators Network, PureTalk, and other products. Throughout, Prager emphasizes a narrative of defending freedom, American exceptionalism, and traditional Judeo‑Christian values while portraying the left as authoritarian and deceptive.

People yearn to be taken care of, not to be free. It's a long, long and many times stated by me. That's what people love. Glenn Beck played a series of— I'd love to get it from him, I will. A great, great montage of Western journalists, the most prominent in America, among the most prominent in America, lauding Castro and the communist regime in Cuba. The old line, oh, you know, the— there was only a one-third literacy rate when he— his revolution in 1959. And now it's 97%. It proves— that statement alone proves how little the left and even many liberals value freedom. If you can only re-read what the government allows you to read, then of what use is literacy? I rather be illiterate and and free than literate and unfree. That— isn't that what it amounts to? Well, it's a very interesting development in Cuba. For all we know, they might have freedom. And then I said to my wife, Maybe the Cubans will start a Radio Free America. You know, none of this is meant as a joke. I don't joke about such things. I joke about a lot, but I don't joke about freedom and America.
The—
what we are getting to, political prisoners. I never thought I would live to see the day when America had political prisoners, people in prison. Because of their politics. 6 months, some of these people are in prison. How many people are from, from January 6th? How many people are in prison for the rioting, the destruction? Remarkable. The, the White House constantly tells us that teaching critical race theory in schools is history. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki just keeps saying it's just history. This is the whole line. Why, you don't want to teach kids history? They should only learn the good things? Whoever said that only good things should be taught to kids in school? Whoever said that? The president is obviously a big fan of education. The first lady is a teacher. She's a union teacher. So funny how half the country immediately assumes that's a good thing and half the country immediately assumes that she has been corrupted. I'm wondering, what are the president's thoughts on anti-racism curriculum in the classroom? RealClearPolitics White House reporter Philip Wegmann asked. Psaki replied that the U.S. still has systemic racism. They never give examples. What is this systemic racism? I'm going to come to the NFL decision in a moment to play the quote-unquote Black National Anthem before each NFL game and to continue having anti-racism statements on the field. It is truly important that people of every color boycott the NFL, that they simply stop watching the games. For those of you who are lovers of football, this is a very difficult moment. It's a very beautiful thing to have passions like for your team, but that can come back. I don't know if the United States can come back. Football can come back. I assure you that if, if, if One-third, just one-third of the viewers cease viewing, one-third of the people cease attending, the message will be gotten. The whole point of the United States is united. There aren't two national anthems, there's one national anthem. What comes next? Will the Indigenous, uh, Americans demand that some anthem that they have— I'm sure they have one— that that be played? There be an Asian anthem played? A Hispanic anthem? It's quite, uh, quite something that this is acceptable in the United States. The cowardice in the NFL is beyond belief. Just beyond belief. We have to keep teaching America about systemic racism. Psaki replied that the U.S. still has systemic racism that needs to be acknowledged and addressed through government schools. The president believes that in our history there are many dark moments. Hmm. Yep. Who doesn't? Who doesn't believe that in our history are dark moments? And there is not just slavery and racism in our history, there is systemic racism that is still impacting society today. They never give examples, you know that? That's the amazing thing. It's like the woman who lied in the LA Times. I think her name was Guerrero. Just lied. Said Larry Elder twists facts. I'm going to have Larry on later in the show. Ask him if he saw that column. Larry Elder twists facts about Black criminality. She doesn't give a single example of a twisted fact. So either Larry Elder's a liar or she's a liar. And of course she's a liar. She's on the left. Truth is not a left-wing value. Say it every day, probably a couple of times a day. Systemic racism that is still impacting society today. Really? Wow, what a crappy country. Psaki also capitalized on the concerns of parents around the nation who were wary of leftist indoctrination in their children's schools. By reaffirming that she and the president are parents who believe, quote, that kids should learn about our history. As a spouse of an educator and as somebody who continues to believe that children should learn not just the good but also the challenging in our history, and that's part of what we're talking about here, even as it's become politically charged. So I got a question for Ms. Psaki. What good about the country are kids learning? Right? Isn't that an interesting question to ask? We all know how much bad about the country they're learning. How much good about the country are they learning? Name one good thing about the country that they're learning. Are they learning that, that America was the greatest force for liberty in the world for the last 100 years? Have they learned that? Did they learn that 3 million Black Africans and Caribbeans and from the Caribbean have come to the United States in the last 50 years because they think that it's the freest country they could live in as Black people? Did they learn that? It's a lie that they're learning the good about America. Do they learn that the United States and Britain led the world in anti-slavery? That slavery was universal, including in Black Africa? That the greatest number of slaves did not go to the United States? A tiny fraction of the transatlantic trade came to the United States. Overwhelmingly went to Brazil. Did they learn that the Arab Muslims in Africa, the Middle East, traded far more slaves than the whites did? I guess not. So I'd like to know, Ms. Psaki, what's the good that they're learning? I'm Dennis Prager, 1-800-PRAGER-776.

Anyway, you were talking about Bill Cosby, and I kind of disagree with you about— you were saying, um, about all the women. I might say Maybe, what is it, 18 women?
Oh no, it's close to 50 women that have made allegations.
50?
50, 5-0.
Oh, okay. So you believe all of them are lying?
Well, you think all 50 are lying? Including Beverly Johnson, one of the first black major models in America? She said he also gave her drugs and tried to rape her.
I'm a woman, and what I'm saying is, and they're in Hollywood, he's a high-profile man. And they wanted to be alone with him. They might not have wanted his advances, but it's kind of—
Lynn, Lynn, Lynn, please.
There's no doubt that because he was famous and rich, uh, he attracted women. The question is, did he drug them and have sex with them? Uh, and that's known as rape.
Answer that. That's what I'm saying. If they drank anything that he had, they willingly drank.
Okay, okay. Now, Lynn, Lynn, hold on a second. The reason Bill Cosby got released Hello, my friends.
I'm Dennis Prager. It's a big question. I'm going to go back to that. What good about America? The left says, oh, we have to teach the bad as well as the good. What good? In the meantime, I'd like you to help one of the greatest— and not— you don't have to send a financial contribution. Just join. Support JCN. JCN is the Job Creators Network. You know what they're doing? They're suing Major League Baseball. The harm done to Atlanta for moving the All-Star Game. God bless these guys, the, the, the woke sports leagues. See, they truly believe that there's nothing to fear from at least half this country. They only fear the left because the left, the left knows how to hurt people much better than the right does. It is— there's just no comparison. That's why people fear the left. They can hurt you. What are we going to do? No, really, that's the thinking. The weak go where the bullies want them to go. That is a rule of life. So the Job Creators Network is suing them. Please go to supportjcn.com. Support the lawsuit. And the JCN fights on behalf of small business all over the country. Support jcn.com. So it's a very powerful question that I'm posing here. Jen Psaki and the whole left says, you know, you can't only teach the good about America. Couldn't agree more. But I'd like to know what good is being taught. If you have kids in school Tell me something positive about America that they have been taught. Okay? That would be a really interesting question for you to pose, and for you to pose to any young person you know. I mean, kid, forget college. But although you might as well include college, but I'm thinking of elementary school and high school. So, um, Madison is a good contemporary name. Madison, what did you, what did you learn of good about America in the last, the last month or the last year? Interesting, no? So it's sort of a lie that the left— not sort of, it's a lie. It's not sort of a lie, it is a lie that the left has in fact cultivated and everybody accepts. You can't just teach the good about America, correct? But they just teach the bad. That's my point. Pretty important point. Yeah, I love that line. Can't just teach the good. As if anybody ever argued that. I'm curious if somebody said you can't just teach the good about Martin Luther King Jr. Would they be called a hater? You know, there is some very dark stuff with regard to Martin Luther King Jr., which is a liberal historian, among others, has published. And yet, if somebody were to say, you know, you just can't teach the good about Martin Luther King, people would go ballistic. But about America, no, no, no, no. There you have to dwell on the flaws of the United States of America. Yes, indeed. Charles in Irvine, California. Hello.
Yes, Dennis, I was wondering if you saw the video from the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir.
I did. You did?
What did you think of it?
We're coming for your children. But I thought it was, uh, I thought it was, uh, at the very least, incredibly, uh, unexpectedly pompous.
We are, uh, yeah, it's like they have a, they have a chip on their shoulders.
Like, you know, they seem really angry.
They don't have a chip on their shoulder. They have a canyon, they have a mountain. It's a gigantic chip. Anyway, I have a different question. Why is there a gay men's choir? Are gay men not allowed to sing in other choirs? Why does it even exist?
Are heterosexual men allowed to sing with them?
No, obviously not. No, obviously not. Yes, no, you're entirely right. What is the point of it? This is 2021. Who would it occur to? It wouldn't occur to a church choir, to a conservative church, to exclude a gay person from its chorus. So what is the point of having a gay men's choir? I'd like an answer to that. Maybe there was a necessity 30 years ago, 50 years ago. Is there a necessity today? Gay men's choir. Every single man singing here is homosexual. And therefore, you sing better? What is the reason? For coming for your children? Yes, and, and of course it's a play on fears that some people have that, that there was a gay agenda to quote-unquote turn kids into gays. No, but there is a gay agenda. The LGBTQ agenda is to establish that there are no norms. That is correct. That, that is fair to say. There is an agenda. I don't think you could turn a— well, it's an interesting question. Can you turn— yeah, I don't think you could turn a boy into a gay. I think with men, sexual orientation is pretty fixed. With women, I think it's much more complex. You have the choir audio? It's— yeah, why not hear it for a moment? Oh, you'll forget you were ever upset. We'll convert your children and make an ally of you. Okay, fine. And there you go. That's the way it is. Hmm. Can you think of anything more revolutionary at this time, or counter-revolutionary, than, as I have said so often, a young woman getting up in her college class, wherever the issue would be raised, so what are your hopes for your future? And one young woman getting up and saying, well, be honest, I, uh, I've majored here in math, pretty, pretty good at it, and I'd love to pursue it, but my biggest, my biggest yearning is to find a good man, marry, make a family, make a beautiful home.

Hello, my friends. I'm in Dallas, Texas today. I have a speech tonight for the annual meeting of Christians United for Israel, CUFI. I think it's the largest Christian group in the United States. Maybe, maybe I don't know, in the world. I don't know. I've spoken to them many times. They're a fantastic organization. Every person I meet affiliated with it is a— is just a gem. I will— I will be telling them that at this point they are not just Christians United for Israel. They are Christians United for the United States. They are Christians United for Western civilization, and there are many of us Jews who were with them. That's what it's come to. There's nothing lower than people who are given everything and then destroy what they— what, what has given them everything. There's something particularly sick or vicious or just cowardly in all these wealthy leftists. People given incredible untold blessings by a society that could afford almost every one of its hard-working members blessing, and instead they wish to destroy that society. It really, in case you thought human nature was basically good, the left should be a terrific proof of how untrue that is. All right, everybody, let's see here. Uh, Joey in Anaheim, California. Hello.
Hi, Dennis. I've been listening to you since Religion on the Line. So we go back a long way. I'm the same age you are. And I strongly disagree with you when it comes to certain things. I think you have a lot of wisdom. I caution you against arrogance in your old age because of the success that you've had. But I totally disagree with you when it comes to your positions on sexuality. I've noticed that from the beginning. Um, you just said that men are less likely to turn to homosexual behavior.
No, I didn't say that. I said it's much harder. It's almost impossible to make a heterosexual man homosexual, but that is not the case with females.
That's not true. Neither of them are true. And I tell you that because there's lots of proof of it. We're talking about behavior here. We're not, you know, we're talking about behavior, right? Homosexual behavior.
Well, we're talking about— no, we're not fully, because men who engage in homosexual behavior in prison have not become homosexuals.
So, no, but they're certainly now familiar. They're certainly now familiar with homosexual behavior. And, uh, and, you know, when push comes to shove, uh, they can probably go either way.
Okay, so the— your point being?
My point being that men are, uh, are very prone, uh, to go in the direction of the sexuality, uh, which, which is open to them. And my point being that women are not, you know, for you to give advice to a teenager that, that, uh, female sexuality is that fluid is a terrible thing.
I don't give advice to teenagers. The advice I give to teenagers is, is if, if you are fluid, you should still choose heterosexuality.
But the information that I heard you give to a mother a teenager to give to her teenager.
Her teenager said that she was bi, and I said, tell your teenager you may well be bi, but you should choose men. What is wrong with that advice?
Because it's, it's now in to be bi. I don't know if you heard that.
I totally know what's in to be bi. I agree with you, it isn't to be. I agree. So what is, again, what is, what did I say that's wrong?
What you said is wrong is that, uh, is, is the normalization of this trend to be bi and/or to be something other than whatever it is.
What does it mean normalization? What did I say that normalized it? I acknowledge that in female nature— yes, it's— I'm not going to— it's like denying that there is a bad aspect to male nature. As I said, Men yearn for many women. They should stay monogamous. Should I deny? Am I normalizing adultery?
No, no, there you are absolutely correct. And men, thank God I'm not a man. I don't think I could survive as a man with the demands on their nature. I've always been grateful I was born a woman. Um, but I, I find that you're, uh, telling this mother to tell her daughter that, uh, that, you know, that she may very well be bi. And, uh, I, I don't think that that's the correct information to pass on to a teenager, right?
The teenager claims to be bi. It's a Christian home. Daughter, if you take 'If you take your religion seriously, you will not have sex with a woman.' That was my advice. Telling the daughter this, that it doesn't even exist in you, this bisexuality, will make the mother look irrelevant. That's my take. I am really glad you called.

Trending now on The Larry Elder Show: one-third of California small businesses will never reopen. One-third. Many of the things that Gavin Newsom did had nothing whatever to do with science. You've heard me interview small business owners who said he imposed lockdowns and mandates and then loosened them and then reimposed them and then loosened them so nobody knew what the hell to do. The science suggested that schools could have remained open. We already have a situation where 75% of Black kids in California cannot read at state levels of proficiency. Nearly half of all kids in California cannot read at state levels of proficiency, and yet schools were shut down for a full year. And the left is always talking about leveling the playing field, making sure that things are equal. How in the world are you going to get equal when you have prevented Black kids, Hispanic kids from having in-school learning for over a year? And everybody knows This video learning is not the same. This is a state where you drive around in a city like LA, Bay Area, underneath an overpass, on the left and on the right, whole bunch of homeless people, one after another after another after another, posing threats to their safety, to the safety of the non-homeless.

All right, everybody, how many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor? It is an interesting question. I don't know the answer, but years. There are millions of people, in fact some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older. Which is why I am so impressed with the folks who've made this product. I met the doctor by Zoom last week for the first time. Very impressive man in the state of Washington.

All right, relieffactor.com, 3-week quick start. I'm Dennis Prager. And let's see here, let's go to some more of your calls. Good, good things coming up here. Uh, Natalie in Irvine, California. Hello.
Good morning, Dennis. Uh, I got the honor of meeting you at the Zilch earlier this year, so it was a wonderful evening. Thank you for joining all the freedom fighters. Um, I wanted to— as if we didn't know, and as if, like, you know, this is not something that's very shocking to most of us, but the American Academy of Pediatrics this morning just released a publication stating that all children over the age of 2 need to return to school with masks regardless of vaccination status. So this is not something that is very shocking for me, and I'm sure for you as well, but my question to you is, can you help me understand why it is that they release a publication like this stating that regardless of vaccination status Dennis Prager.
Well, there were no— I mean, there were no 2-year-olds vaccinated, so it's somewhat of an unnecessary comment on their part. And there are very few 8-year-olds. I mean, basically nobody under, I think, 12 is vaccinated. But the notion that they need masks, given the harm that masks do, aside from, I believe, physical harm, just the psychological harm harm versus benefit. Look, if they did release that, I always say if when a caller tells me something I'm not aware of. Most of the time they're accurate. But if the American Society of Pediatricians or Pediatrics, whatever the society is called, has in fact made this claim, now you know why the medical profession has shamed itself Another example of why I believe it has shamed itself in the last year and a half, if not longer. These are nutty people who are not guided by science. They are guided by fear. They are guided by power. They are guided by God knows what. Abundance of caution. I would not send my child to a school that insisted on masks at the age of 5. Or 10 for that matter. And what I would do is give my child as normal a childhood as possible in homeschooling or in a school that disobeyed this recommendation. It is, after all, a recommendation, not a law. But look, masks are now required in my county of Los Angeles County. Yep, because of the, uh, of the Delta variant. So there's undoubtedly going to be another variant. There already are variants on the Delta variant. So this is indefinite. I said, I said, look, I've been opposed to the lockdown, let alone masks, from the beginning. Thought maybe a few weeks was— could, could be vindicated. But beyond that, as you know, I said it was the greatest mistake in world history. Not evil, I made that clear, but mistake. And outside of Sweden, there is a constant push for lockdown there was. Sweden did the right thing. I had a Swedish doctor on, and I have a very long interview with him available only to Prager Utopia subscribers. You not only get the show without commercials at Prager Utopia, you also get now these extra commercial-free dialogues that I have. So I had this dialogue with the Swedish doctor who of course defended— not of course, there are Swedish doctors who think like most doctors elsewhere. Doctors panic. Doctors are as frail as every other group. If somebody told you that the American Bar Association said something, would you think, oh, must be correct? 'Cause lawyers said it? Of course not. So why is it correct if doctors say it? Are doctors less flawed, less amenable to foolishness than lawyers? The idea is preposterous. The harm done to the society, the— as I wrote again last year, Dress rehearsal for a police state. And I see that happening more and more in France. There, Macron is apparently passing laws that if you are not vaccinated, you can't go anywhere. You simply can't go anywhere. You can walk in the street and then go back home. And a lot now, a lot of Frenchmen who did not want to be vaccinated with an experimental vaccine are getting vaccinated. They don't want their lives closed down. In the name of health, we have said freedom is a joke. There's always a false god at which freedom is sacrificed. Back in a moment.

Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. And Jerry in Long Beach, California. Hello.
Hey Dennis, on this topic of sexuality, There's a website called Go Ask Alice that's supported by a team at Columbia University, people with advanced degrees in public health, et cetera. And they address the issue of bisexuality. So quoting from them directly, they say, "We are often called to label ourselves as purely sexually inclined one way or another, either attracted to guys or girls only, end of story." But in actuality, most people fall somewhere on the spectrum of attraction, fantasy, and desire in action with people of all genders. Factors that we may not think of as sexual per se, like political and social ties, can in fact influence those who we choose to be with whether we identify ourselves as straight, gay, bi, queer, etc. So that's all Columbia. Now to me, If you indoctrinate children from the earliest ages that, you know, people that are spiritual abusers, if they're not, you know, open to being bi, curious, etc., and they're haters and bigots and all loving and everything with rainbows, you know, if you go both ways, you can in fact influence the sexuality. So we go back to ancient Rome, basically.
That's right. That's exactly what they would like to. That's right. Certainly ancient Greece. This is exactly why clarity is important. Whatever your nature, there is a Judeo-Christian ideal, and that is that men marry women, that a man marries a woman. That is the ideal. Some people cannot live by that ideal. We acknowledge that. The vast majority of humans can, and therefore should. You can be gay and acknowledge this. You're a gay religious Jew, a gay religious Christian, you could— there's no reason you cannot acknowledge that the ideal is male-female marriage, just as single people who for whatever reason don't get married can acknowledge that it is the Judeo-Christian ideal that you get married. That doesn't mean we hate the single, or God forbid, hate the gay. Of course not. It just means that that's the whole point of the system. We are presenting you with the best way to live. Otherwise, religion is unnecessary. The whole point is there is a good way, an ideal way to live a life. That ideal is being destroyed, and it is not coincidental that we have the highest rates of depression among young women ever recorded in American history. I return. I'm Dennis Prager. That's right.

And I just, I just want to say that, you know, this weekend we had outstanding weather. The crowds were fantastic. Everyone was just well-behaved. Well, I was on my tower, I was on my tower and I was looking north and I saw the thousands and thousands of people with their umbrellas, you know, thousands of people in the water. Just enjoying. The kids were playing, the kids were running around, and happy cries and screams were going on. Mike, in my binoculars, you know, you got a picture of this, you got the, you got the, the city, the city line, and the beach, and the ocean. But in my binoculars, I saw all of this going on, and then in the center was the, was the American flag waving. And it just, Mike, it just brought me to tears sitting in my tower watching this. And yeah, Just thinking and thinking about all the people who disrespect our flag and like your last caller, all the men who died for this country. It just brought me to tears sitting on the tower watching all this going on.
And you know what? You got to keep reminding yourself millions and millions of Americans feel just the way you and I do, Chris. We're not alone. We're not in the minority.

I had studied, uh, Marxist history, uh, beginning with Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto from 1848. And when I first studied that and saw in Section 1 of the manifesto what you can recognize as what's called the oppressor versus oppressed narrative of human history, a whole bunch of stuff that was taking place in our country began to become exceptionally clear to me. And I began to piece together a lot of the, what I'll call militant impulse that was manifesting in society as time went on. And there's a victimhood ideology. There's constantly an effort by some individuals who have an agenda to pit groups of people against one another as victims or oppressed groups and oppressor groups. And we've seen very clearly over the past calendar year who the oppressor group is labeled to be and who the oppressed groups are labeled to be. And right now, under the auspices of diversity and inclusion training, as well as critical race theory and other narratives of American history that have been parading about throughout the country and showing up in our education system. All of those narratives seek to divide the American people by pitting people against one another into racial groups. Yeah, it is the white versus the black. It's the—
it used to be class division by class. Now it's division by race, by skin color. We've only begun to scratch the surface.

Hello, my friends. Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show. Hope you had a good weekend. I'm in Dallas, Texas for a big talk tonight to the annual convention of Christians United for Israel. That isn't a big issue unto itself. Christian support for Israel should not be taken for granted as the children of the members of CUFI, as it is known, go to college like others do, go to high school as others do, and are poisoned, meaning lied to, and have their thinking distorted with regard to the United States, with regard to Israel. Basically, whatever is good is bad, and whatever is bad is good. I came up with an idea last hour that I will be repeating regularly. So very briefly, here goes. We are told by Jen Psaki and others that we have to teach the bad in American history as well as the good. And by the way, there's a rare area of agreement, but there's a follow-up question you should always pose to anyone who says that. Can you name the good that you teach young children about America? You will then, my dear friends, be received with, as they say, crickets. What good about America is taught? Or let's put it this way: we agree that you teach the bad as well as the good. However, what is the ratio? Ratio is the— as everything in life, Because everybody has bad in their life, every one of us. So do you teach the bad as well as the good about Mother Teresa? You teach the bad as well as the good about Stalin? Isn't the ratio the issue? The ratio of bad to good And Stalin is 99-1. The ratio of good to bad in American history is about 80-20. By the way, even if you think it's 50-50, where's the 50 that's good? That's taught. It's the ratio question that really disturbs the left. London Telegraph: Cloth face masks are comfort blankets that do little to curb COVID spread, SAGE advisor warns. Standard face coverings are just comfort blankets that do little to reduce the spread of COVID particles, a scientist advising SAGE because it's a British group. I don't know if it's a government group. On ventilation has said Dr. Colin Axon, who has advised the government on minimizing the risk of cross-infection in supermarkets, accused medics of presenting a, quote, cartoonish, unquote, view of how tiny particles travel through the air. He warned some cloth masks have gaps which are invisible to the naked eye but are 500,000 times the size of viral COVID particles. Yes, that's right. The mask debate has been reignited this week after the government published Freedom Day guidance— Freedom Day guidance recommending their continued use. Hmm, why is it called Freedom Day Guidance? It led to Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, enforcing their continued use on the London Underground, their subway. Medics have this cartoonized view of how particles move through the air. It's not their fault, it's not their domain. They've got a cartoonish view of how the world is. Yes, that is right. It is— what is it? What did he call it? It's exactly what it is: comfort blankets. I, I regard them as adult pacifiers. That's my term for masks— adult pacifiers. Yeah. I mentioned last hour, and as reported widely in the media, that the NFL will include Black— this is Fox News headline— NFL 2021 season will include Black National Anthem, social justice messages again. The Black national anthem is reportedly set to return before NFL games for good starting in 2021. Lift Every Voice and Sing was played before the start of Week 1 games during the 2020 NFL season, and Front Office Sports reported Wednesday the NFL plans to make it, quote, a prominent part of big league events. The NFL allowed social justice phrases like 'end racism' to be painted in the back of teams' end zones, and players were able to honor victims of systemic racism and police violence last year. Front Office Sports reports the NFL plans on ratcheting up the messaging for the 2021 season. Now, it's an interesting thing. Nobody thinks it helps. Nobody. Okay, let's be honest. Somebody who thinks this country is good and not systemically racist, seeing the sign, End Racism in the End Zone, is not going to think, whoa, I've been wrong. This country is a cesspool, just like the NFL. And the left says, boy, was I a fool. The message in the end zone is really convincing. Okay, so nobody assumes that person will be moved. The people who already think America is a systemically racist cesspool will simply be reaffirmed in the lie that they, that they believe. So who is it going to affect? This is all buying protection. That's all it is. It's, it's a racket. If we take what's called now woke positions, we will not be attacked by the left. They may even be afraid of Black players refusing to play. I don't know. But they do this in the name of all the Black players. That's sad. That is quite sad. There's one national anthem for black, white, and all other groups in the United States. That's the only one that should be played. It is the national anthem. I don't want a black national anthem played at a football game any more than I want a black graduation exercise at a college. It's actually pro-Black, my position, because I want Blacks included, not excluded. Isn't— these are the people who love inclusivity, but they don't believe anything they say. The national anthem is inclusive. If some people don't feel included, they That is their problem. It is not the national anthem's problem. It is not the nation's doing. It is their self-perception. If you think that is not your flag, that's a very serious problem. But it's not the flag's fault. That's the reason I don't want this played at every game. Not because the song is not beautiful. Or uplifting, that's irrelevant. There is one national anthem. We don't have two national anthems because we have one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Oh, but the left will say there's no justice for blacks. Really? There's no justice for blacks? Prove it. Prove it. They can't prove it. There's nothing to prove. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged the Black Lives Matter movement. We at the National Football League believe Black Lives Matter. I personally protest with you and want to be part of the much-needed change in this country, he said in last year's video. Without Black players, there would be no National Football League, and the protests around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality, and oppression of Black players, coaches, fans, and staff. Centuries of oppression of Black players? Really? Centuries? All right, what about the last half century? Doesn't, doesn't matter. 1-800-PRAGER-776.

2 things are happening. One is that parents across the board are starting to speak up and not, and not take this anymore. You've seen in Loudoun, Virginia, on the critical race theory issue just the last couple of weeks, school board meetings where parents have lined up by the hundreds. They are unloading on these school boards. People— I have seen people activate in ways that I had that I didn't see them in the prosperous years of President Trump. People are mad. This is not the way life goes. And to your point about girls that are competing with all of their might and they're falling short, they're not just, they're not just giving up on the dream of winning that race, they're losing college scholarship opportunities. 2 years ago in Connecticut, in the high school girls track division, 15 state all-time records were shattered by 2 boys that ran as girls in their, in in that division.
But the leaders of the state let this happen. Kevin, can you imagine adult grown men and women elected to these positions, intelligent professional people let this happen? Those people should be hung out to dry. Those people should have people go to their homes and say, demand that either you change this or you need to resign.
What is the key between those local officials and the Biden administration? I mean, Biden came into office and said, we're gonna, we're gonna not just protect transgender's ability to compete in, in women's divisions, we're gonna expand it. And he's, he's tried to force down executive orders on the public schools across the country to adopt it. They haven't all gone with it, and some states are fighting it pretty aggressively. Florida and Texas has told him to go pound sand. That's what should be happening.

You can keep your phone, keep your number, but they have great deals on new phones, and it is the same thing as what I have. So I now have two phones. Great. $30 a month. So from your cell phone, dial #250, #215, say Dennis Prager. Save an additional $50 off your first month. Again, pound 250 and say Dennis Prager. Magic name. Hey everybody, hello from Dallas. And indeed, let's go to Michael in Prescott, Arizona. Hello.
No, hi Dennis, um, I agree with all that you were saying. There should only be the national anthem played, none of these, you know, anything else. But I wish you'd stop calling it the Black National Anthem. That implies it's Blacks as a portion of our society have some organization that's adopted that as an official song. It's a nickname. It's just the way, you know, it's a great song. I've known of it for 30 years. It's a wonderful song in text and also in tune. I like it a lot. But they just, it's like a nickname for it, the Black National Anthem. But by calling it the Black National Anthem played at the same time as, or assembled to, or, you know, during this introduction to the NFL, it implies that it's some sort of a group, an organization that adopted it, and that's not so.
It's just, well, it is. So that is the— you're right, it's— I said earlier, is a beautiful song, uh, but I, I call it that because that's the way it is known, and that is the reason it's chosen. It's not chosen because it's a beautiful song. It's chosen because it has been given the name Black National Anthem.
Yeah, but you had it, Dennis.
Can you hear me? I can.
Um, you had a caller who said he was Black and he said he He was either 50 or 60. He said, I never heard of it, or heard of the Black National Anthem. I mean, it's not— we could call it the Black National Anthem, but it isn't an adopted— there's no organization that I know of that ever adopted that.
Right. It doesn't matter. What matters is what is it perceived as? It's perceived as a national anthem for blacks. Like they have their own anthem. That's what it is. I can't wish it away. That's the reason that it was chosen. So it is what it is. We have to, we have to recognize reality for what it is. The, the thing is, folks, it's not good for Blacks. It's not good for the nation, and it's not good for Blacks. Why is it good for Blacks to reinforce the idea that you're not one of us? Us meaning all other Americans. Why is that a good thing? Why is that good for Blacks? Why is that good for America? Is a Black graduation exercise at Columbia University good for Blacks? Of course not. Why is that not obvious to everybody? Well, there are a lot of answers to that one. Oh my God. Tristan in Los Angeles, hello.
Hey, how you doing? Um, this whole thing about the, the teachers teaching the good and the bad, uh, you know, in schools. Uh, it, it really is no big secret what the agenda is here.
They, they want to try to defraud us of our citizenship by teaching the next generation the bad. Uh, what we should be teaching is the truth in schools, which is going to be made up of good and bad, of course, but true events that have happened. That's what I want to learn.
That's what I want my kids to learn.
Good man, I agree with you. Nevertheless, there's, there's an element of judgment in what truths are taught. You can teach truth. It's true, slavery is true. But if you only teach slavery, you're teaching a lie. See, that's why this is a complex matter. It's not enough for us to say teach the truth, because that, that can be done, and you end up with a gigantic lie that America is systemically racist. If you, if you show an example, and there are very few of a policeman killing a Black, an unarmed Black, because he's Black. It's unbelievably rare. Because he's Black or not Black, the number of unarmed Blacks killed in any given year is under 20. Under 20. Far more whites unarmed are killed. There's a truth that isn't taught. But if you teach, let's say it happened once, That's true, but you're then teaching a giant lie that this is emblematic of the police of the United States. That's the point. There's— there is truth in details, and there is truth in the big picture. You need to teach both truths. The big picture is America is a blessing for Blacks. That's why so many come here. I had dinner, Shabbat dinner, with a number of wonderful people Friday night. And among the guests, my fellow guests— it wasn't my home, so I shouldn't say my fellow guests— but among the guests was an epidemiologist at UCLA who, uh, is from Nigeria. I mean, think about that, how high this man advanced. Was there one— was there a single impediment owing to his skin color? He knows there wasn't. Why did his family leave their roots that go back God knows how many generations to move from a Black country to a largely white country? Why did they do that? Because they knew that this is the best place in the world for a Black African to live. That's why they moved here. Why more than 3 million Blacks have come here from Africa. 360,000 came here as slaves. 3 million have come here as free people. Is that a truth that's taught to your kids at school? I'll bet it isn't.

When, when did you wake up and say, hang on, this is not good?
Well, like I said earlier, I've been in for over 15 years. The first 14 years of my career I was in the Air Force, uh, was in the flying community, and then came into the Space Force. Every unit that I've ever been in, all of my professional interactions with people during the preponderance of my career have been highly professional, not politicized. We focus on a mission that unifies us. We wear the same uniform and we go out and do our job every day. And when I noticed personally these things really rapidly beginning to change was in the past calendar year, but specifically in the aftermath of George Floyd's death. What you saw in broader society in the form of social justice activism pouring into the streets, the disruption of civil liberties, for example, and the dialogue, if you want to call it that, that ensued in the aftermath is the very thing that I saw just spill over into active duty military units. Now, I'll be clear that every unit is different, every leader is different, every base is is different. But that's when I was really keen on seeing this happen. Now I've been in academia for the past 2 years. And so what I'm able to share is simply one man's perception of when this is— I left academia in June of last year and came out to my current base and have had these experiences. But it's my sense that the seeds are planted long ago. They take— this is a subversive agenda.

All right, everybody, one of my favorite writers, Julie Kelly for American Greatness, one of my favorite websites for that matter, is on the line, and we're going to discuss what she has concluded, what she has dug up with regard to people arrested from the January 6th. I don't even know what verb— well, what noun, Julie Kelly? What noun would you use? Riot? Demonstration? Uh, picnic? Well, insurrection? What's your favorite noun?
Sorry, psyop? Disinformation campaign?
No, oh, that you mean, that's about it generally, but I mean what happened on January 6th, how do you refer to it?
I just refer to it as a protest for right now.
Protest, yeah, that's a good word. Okay, protest, fine, okay.
Yes.
So you have been, to your great credit, you have looked into this more than anybody more than almost anyone. What is the current situation? How many are still in prison?
So, well, thank you for having me on. And I know you had me on early on back in February when I first started writing about really what— these are America's political prisoners. It would be great if they got the same sort of information, you know, that the protesters and dissidents in Cuba are getting from our Republican leadership. Setting that aside, there are still dozens of people held for months now under pretrial detention motions requested by the Biden Justice Department against people who protested Biden's election as president. Um, and so these people could be held in jail, Dennis Prager, until for up to a year, possibly more, until they cave to a plea deal or their trials starts sometime next year. But the situation actually is getting a little bit worse, not only for the detainees, but the people who are even pleading guilty. I listened to a hearing today where a man did nothing violent in the Capitol, was in there for 20 minutes. He had no criminal record, working-class man from Florida who took a bus to Washington, D.C., entered the Capitol for 20 minutes. He now will sit in prison for 8 months. After pleading guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding charge.
What does that mean, by the way? Obstruction of an official proceeding charge? It's a new one to me.
It is, because, you know, Dennis, as you know, this didn't apply to any other past protesters. The protesters who, you know, ransacked the Senate office building, confronted and threatened lawmakers, they got far closer to leaders than anybody on January 6th did. They got a slap on the wrist, paid a $50 fine, and walked away. This man, his life is destroyed. And Dennis Prager begged the court today for mercy, said he regretted it, that he accepted Joseph R. Biden as the elected president of the United States, begged for mercy because he's not married, he's a working-class man in an apprenticeship for to be a mechanic. He'd have to find a home, lose his home, he'd lose his job, his apprenticeship, have to give up his two cats that he has. Just a heartbreaking thing to listen to. And Judge Moss, an Obama appointee, and federal prosecutors had no mercy on this man whatsoever. He now, after being at— basically wearing an ankle bracelet for 5 months, now will have his— what little life he has destroyed by the Biden administration for the crime of protesting the election and bringing a Trump flag into the Senate gallery and raising it in defiance of Biden's election, which is what the judge and prosecutor said today, that he had to say, I recognize Joe Biden as president.
Is completely reminiscent to me of life in a communist country.
Yes, he didn't have to say it. I feel like he said it as part of, uh, you know, pleading with this judge to let him go, you know.
But why? Okay, forgive me, Julie, I still don't understand what the charge— obstruction of what? What was it?
Official proceeding.
Yeah, what does that mean? Oh, he obstructed the official proceedings of the, of the U.S. Senate or the U.S. House?
Certification of the certification of the president. That's, that's their argument. That's what they're saying.
I see.
And more than 200 people have been slapped with this felony charge because DOJ is adding this as an enhancement to misdemeanor cases, which is exactly what happened in Paul Hodgkins' case today. He faced 4 misdemeanors, trespassing and disorderly conduct. They slapped this obstruction felony on there, 20 years punishable, 20 years in prison, I think $250,000 fine. So they are using that to get felony charges and, you know, plea arrangement. And instead of recognizing, okay, well, you know, you've got this plea, this man did nothing wrong, he has no criminal history, did nothing inside the Capitol remotely violent, right? Here is the DOJ and judge.
All right, we're going to continue with Julie Kelly. This is a new America, my friends. New America. Like to remind you about a product that I asked to advertise on my program, Nerve Renew.

Thank you, Chris. I appreciate that. Honor to speak to you as well.
Mike, I'll make this real quick. I'm probably not all that great at talking on air, but all I am is a lifeguard on the oceanfront in Southeast North Carolina. Right. And I just, I just want to say that, you know, this weekend we had outstanding weather. The crowds were fantastic. Everyone was just well-behaved.
Wow.
I was on my tower. I was on my tower and I was looking north and I saw the thousands and thousands of people with their umbrellas. Thousands of people in the water just enjoying. The kids were playing, the kids were running around, and happy cries and screams were going on. Mike, in my binoculars, you know, you got to picture this, you got the city line and the beach and the ocean, but in my binoculars I saw all of this going on, and then in the center was the American flag waving. And it just, Mike, it just brought me to tears. Sitting in my tower watching this and just thinking and thinking about all the people who disrespect our flag. And like your last caller, all the men who died for this country, it just brought me to tears sitting in the— sitting on the tower watching all this going on.
And you know what? You got to keep reminding yourself millions and millions of Americans feel just the way you and I do, Chris. We're not alone. We're not in the minority.

I had studied, uh, Marxist history, uh, beginning with Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto from 1848.
Okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here with Julie Kelly. Of American greatness. To her immense credit, she's reporting on what might be the, the worst single thing happening, uh, in my lifetime in the United States by the government, and that is the, uh, the prosecution of Americans the wild prosecution of Americans, keeping them in prison, people who did essentially nothing. While, remember folks, and Julie, I want you obviously to comment on this, and that is the, it seems to me, utter ignoring of the truly, truly destructive people who took over government buildings and police, uh, precincts, burned cars belonging to the police, smashed businesses— are they being prosecuted by the government?
Um, certainly. I mean, the short answer is no. Um, what this Justice Department and the judge, even in the hearing today, say is that January 6th was so horrific, such an incomparable attack on our democracy, such a threat to the lawmakers who were there, that the regular rules, rule of law statutes, do not apply. This is a special circumstance and needs to be handled accordingly. So even when Today, this lawyer brought up Portland and Minneapolis. The judge was having none of it. He said, "This is not a protest, what happened. This is not protected by the First Amendment. This was a riot. This caused lawmakers to flee. They will live forever with the emotional scars of that day." This was a federal judge talking this way, by the way, not a 12-year-old. Like a federal judge and with one of the most powerful courts in the country. And he and this prosecutor sounded like angst-ridden preteen girls talking about what happened for 4 hours in Washington, DC on January 6th. It would be laughable if it wasn't something destroying people's lives permanently.
That's right. Well, what about when years ago they took over in Lansing— and no, no, in Madison, Wisconsin, they took over the entire government building where the governor and, and where I think the legislature meet, uh, right? They took it over for, for a month, I think. Why is that not comparable?
Right. That was to protest Scott Walker's, I think his, um, union signing.
Scott Walker was governor, right? So that's right. Nothing happened to them.
Nothing happened to the Kavanaugh protesters. I mean, nothing happened to the climate activists who took over Nancy Pelosi's office with AOC at the helm, uh, right after she was elected in 2018. You had hundreds of people occupying her office demanding, you know, she act on their climate change agenda. Those people weren't arrested and thrown in jail like Richard Barnett was, the man who was seated behind a desk in Nancy Pelosi's office. To the contrary, they are heroes, and she immediately conceded to their demands. So those people are heroes. People on the other side now are criminals. They're convicted felons. They will be bankrupted and their lives repeatedly destroyed. It's not an overstatement.
Well, they're felons now. I mean, they're imprisoned felons. It makes life difficult. So basically what you're saying, and I don't want to put any words in your mouth, is At this time in America, if you are on the left, you can get away with almost anything, and if you're on the right, you cannot get away with anything.
That's correct, yes.
Oh, so with, with the judge in this case, if I asked, well, Do you think that it was wrong not to prosecute the people in Madison, Wisconsin? What would he say?
He would say what he said in court today. And what I've heard judges repeatedly say is that no other event compares to January 6th. I mean, he said this in court, the prosecutors have said it in charging documents. No other event, political protest, occupation of other government buildings, assault on federal officers, vandalism. Nothing compares to January 6th. That, that is what he would say. And that's why these cases are being handled so differently. Keep in mind, every case is going to be litigated out of Washington, DC. So these are government prosecutors. A lot of these people are poor, so they have government public defenders. You can only imagine their political ideology. And overseen and handled by mostly Democrat-appointed district judges in Washington, D.C. They take this personally that Americans dared to come in the numbers that they did on January 6th to protest Joe Biden's election. They take it personally. This is their fiefdom. We have no right to be there uninvited. That's message.
But that's right, that's a good point.
Yep. How dare this man get on a bus from Florida and come to the nation's capital and walk into what they consider their building? How dare he?
Can, can this be appealed?
You know, Dennis, I'm not a lawyer. I feel like I should get an honorary law degree after this. I'm picking up all kinds of Things I didn't know before. I'm not sure because they entered into, you know, they accepted the plea agreement. Obviously his lawyer asked for no time probation. DOJ asked for 18 months, so, um, kind of split-ish down the middle. So I don't know if they can appeal.
Is any, anyone like Alliance Defending Freedom? Are there— is there any conservative legal foundation helping these people? No.
No.
Do you know why?
Because they're afraid. Cowards. I, I don't know. We— I've been working for months with just family members and others who are trying to put some apparatus together, but there's nothing.
All right, stay on there. I can't believe in the case of ADF it's terrorist. I, I would, I would like to know, uh, the reasoning.

Yesterday, General Milley told a congressional hearing that, uh, there is no chance— not no chance, very unlikely and very little motivation for the People's Republic of China on this, the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, to assault Taiwan in the near term. Quote, there's no reason to do it militarily, and they know that. So I think the probability is probably low in the immediate near-term future. Your reaction, Senator Cotton?
Well, I think that's right. Up through the end of the Beijing Olympics in February. You know, Russia didn't invade Crimea 8 months before the Sochi Olympics in 2014. They invaded it 4 days after those Olympics ended.
All right, everybody. Julie Kelly was doing a national service. In a, in a non-upside-down world, she'd get a Pulitzer Prize, but you got something better. You got the Prager Prize.
Way better.
Julie, tell me about the reports of solitary confinement. Are they true?
Uh, they were true. I actually talked to, uh, one of the detainees last night. I guess, um, they were for months only allowed out 1 hour a day from their cells. Um, now it's up to 5 hours a day. Uh, Dennis, I got a recording of them last night. Every night at 9 now, this is a D.C. jail specifically used to house January 6th defendants. Every night at 9 o'clock, they sing the national anthem together to keep each other's spirits up as they await their fate, trial, plea, whatever. So recorded that last night, but it seems like at least that part of it is better. But, you know, again, these people are just languishing for months for no reason. They should be out and working with their lawyers, seeing their families, going on with their lives while they await trial for a lot of misdemeanor offenses.
Is there a GoFundMe page for legal aid to these people?
GoFundMe will not accept any of their, um, uh, pleas. Some of them had them early on. USA Today in turn outed, uh, the people who had their accounts on their GoFundMe and immediately drop them. I don't think they can do PayPal either. So there is something called GiveSendGo, which is a Christian fundraising site. GiveSendGo. And if you look up Capitol or January 6th defendants, there are a lot of accounts on there.
I'm sorry, give me the name again exactly.
GiveSendGo. I think it's one word.
Okay. GiveSendGo. All right, very good. Yeah, that is so indicative of the time we live in that GoFundMe would drop them. Yeah, you think that they would drop, uh, getting legal defense for Antifa?
Never. Nope. It's just so sad all the way around, Dennis. It really is. These people need so much help. They need prayers, they need support. Some of them really have no family support.
Um, we've really deteriorated in this country. And the thought that to sing the U.S. national anthem is now a protest song, which it is. Anyway, God bless you. Keep up the work, and I will be in touch with you constantly.
Thank you so much for covering this, Dennis. I really appreciate it.

I had studied, uh, Marxist history, uh, beginning with Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto from 1848. And when I first I studied that and saw in Section 1 of the Manifesto what you can recognize as what's called the oppressor versus oppressed narrative of human history. A whole bunch of stuff that was taking place in our country began to become exceptionally clear to me, and I began to piece together a lot of the, what I'll call, militant impulse that was manifesting in society as time went on. On. And there's a victimhood ideology. There's constantly an effort by some individuals who have an agenda to pit groups of people against one another as victims or oppressed groups and oppressor groups. And we've seen very clearly over the past calendar year who the oppressor group is labeled to be and who the oppressed groups are labeled to be. And right now, under the auspices of diversity and inclusion training, as well as critical race theory and other narratives of American history that have been parading about throughout the country and showing up in our education system. All of those narratives seek to divide the American people by pitting people against one another into racial groups. Yeah, it is the white versus the black. It's the—

It was packed. I mean, there's no social distancing going on in Las Vegas. There just isn't. Now, does that disturb you, or does that, does that make you happy? Does it bother you to know that there are communities that, like Las Vegas, that have a theater that I sat in and was in amazement at, at the Las Vegas production of O at the Bellagio?

Hello, my friends. Dennis Prager here. Wonderful to be with you, as always is. I'm in Dallas, Texas. Big speech tonight at the annual meeting. Usually 5,000 people in Washington, D.C., but because of the times in which we live, it'll be closer to 1,000 in Dallas. Christians United for Israel. I mentioned earlier in the show that my message will be, among other things, that this group can rename itself or add to its name Christians United for the United States of America, Christians United for Western Civilization, Christians United for Judeo-Christian Values. It's all wrapped in the same thing. The haters of Israel are generally the haters of America, are generally the haters of Judeo-Christian values, are generally the haters of the West. Okay, that's the way it works, and it makes sense. A new, uh, new law where I live— back, uh, I'm on vacation for 3 days from Los Angeles County, they have reinstated the mandate— new word, mandate— to wear masks in any inside place. My heart goes out to the, the workers who have to wear it all day, like the waiters and waitresses. I had a chance to actually see their faces in my favorite restaurants in my area. And now they're back to masks for no good reason on earth. There is a truly important, uh, piece, truly important, The Panic Pandemic, in the, uh, in the great journal City Journal, one of the two most important journals I think written today, published today. The other being the, uh, review of books, the, uh, what is it? Oh God, I'll get it for you in a moment. And this, uh, this piece by John Tierney includes the following: if lockdowns work, why weren't Why weren't they undermined? Why wasn't the lockdown thesis undermined by the numbers in Florida? Or as he writes, by similar results elsewhere, including a comparable natural experiment involving European countries with the least restrictive policies: Sweden, Finland, and Norway. They rejected mask mandates and extended lockdowns, and each has suffered significantly less excess mortality than most other European countries. A nationwide analysis in Sweden showed that keeping schools open throughout the pandemic— the only country that did— without masks or social distancing had little effect on the spread of COVID But school closures and mask mandates for students continued elsewhere. Another Swedish researcher— this is really interesting— the punchline to this one. Jonas, or Jonas Ludvigsson, reported that not a single school child in Sweden died from COVID and that their teachers' risk of serious illness was lower than for the rest of the workforce. But these findings provoked so many online attacks and threats Here's the punchline: that Ludvigsen decided to stop researching or discussing COVID. I'm going to have John Tierney on, obviously ask about this person, what happened there. Social media platforms continued censoring scientists and journalists who questioned lockdowns and mask mandates. YouTube removed the video discussion between Florida Governor DeSantis and the Great Barrington scientists. Remember that? The Great Barrington, Vermont or New Hampshire, don't remember which. I think it's Vermont. They went there and they came out with a statement. These are all scientists that lockdowns were awful, and YouTube removed the video. Between a governor, an elected governor of Florida, and all the scientists. And in the meaning, it was only scientists who made the Great Barrington statement. It's a left-wing lie that they follow the science. They follow the scientists they want. That's what they mean. On the grounds that— what was the grounds that YouTube removed the video? It contradicts the consensus, quote unquote, on the efficacy of masks. Consensus? That's the way science works? Consensus? And also took down the Hoover Institution's interview with Dr. Scott Atlas. Twitter locked out Atlas and Kulldorff— I think they're both at Stanford, or I'll check that— for scientifically accurate challenges to mask orthodoxy. A peer-reviewed German study reporting harms to children from mask wearing was suppressed on Facebook. Which labeled my City Journal article— this is the author writing— partly false because I cited that study. And also at ResearchGate, one of the most widely used websites for scientists to post their papers, ResearchGate refused to explain the censorship to the German scientists, telling them only that the paper was removed from the website in response to, quote, reports from the community about the subject matter. Reports from the community about the subject matter. Wow. The social media censors and scientific establishment, aided by the Chinese government, succeeded for a year in suppressing the lab leak theory, depriving vaccine developers of potentially valuable insights into the virus's evolution It's understandable, if deplorable, that the researchers and officials involved in supporting the Wuhan lab research would cover up the possibility that, that they'd unleashed a Frankenstein on the world. What's harder to explain is why journalists and the rest of the scientific community so eagerly bought that story, along with the rest of the COVID narrative. It's a very long piece. I just wanted to read you that. I had the Swedish doctor who has been reporting on the internet this whole time about Sweden, a young doctor. You can hear that at Prager Utopia. I had him on the show and then I had a prolonged interview with him, which is what I'm doing as a bonus to PragerUtopia subscribers. PragerUtopia.com. So look at the, the list now. As of today, as of today, in deaths per million, Sweden, though the one country that matters in this whole list because it didn't lock down They had the courage to defy the entire world. Sweden, let's see, is number 37 in deaths per million, which is therefore, uh, irrespective of, of population. It, it shows you How many people died per million from COVID Sweden is 37th on the list. Peru, Hungary, Bosnia, Czechia, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Brazil, Slovakia, Colombia, Argentina, Belgium, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Poland, Paraguay, UK, USA, Mexico, Romania. Chile, Spain, France, Portugal, Uruguay, Lithuania, Andorra, Moldova, Armenia, Panama, Bolivia, Tunisia all had more deaths per million than Sweden, and they all locked down, all had mask mandates. Why did people close schools and deprive children of a year of education and of any socialization with their peers, when a country that didn't lock down suffered not a single death of a child, and where teachers were fine? Why? That's my question. You have an answer? You still believe medical authorities? That's my other question. 1-800-PRAGER-776.

Trending now on the Larry Elder Show: one-third of California small businesses will never reopen. One-third. Many of the things that Gavin Newsom did had nothing whatever to do with science. You've heard me interview small business owners who said he imposed lockdowns and mandates and then loosened them and then reimposed them and then loosened them so nobody knew what the hell to do. The science suggested that schools could have remained open. We already have a situation where 75% of Black kids in California cannot read at state levels of performance. Proficiency. Nearly half of all kids in California cannot read at state levels of proficiency, and yet schools were shut down for a full year. And the left is always talking about leveling the playing field, making sure that things are equal. How in the world are you going to get equal when you have prevented Black kids, Hispanic kids from having in-school learning for over a year? And everybody knows This video learning is not the same.

My other favorite journal is the Claremont Review of Books. Just for the record, City Journal. The John Tierney piece on the panic that has overtaken most of the world is very disconcerting. It's— it all verifies what I've been saying from the beginning. We are living in the age of hysteria. It is interesting, is it not, that the world, the West in particular, which has affirmed secularism as a feature of what's called the Age of Reason has in fact become the most irrational place in the world at this time. Or, well, certainly one of the most. I would say the most. There, there are competitors. The Islamists compete with them. Not all Muslims, but the Islamists. If you think your child should die because they're dating someone you don't like, or if you think that all people who are not Muslim should be beheaded, that's not rational. But otherwise, the Western world has lost its mind, truly lost its mind. I played for you last week, and William, I wonder if you still have it, the Prime Minister of New Zealand claiming that the government had all the truth. It was an extremely frightening moment to behold, but that's what she said. We have all the truth, therefore nothing else will be tolerated. Everything else is rumor and untrue. We are the possessors of truth, just like these communists in Russia naming their newspaper Pravda, which means truth. A man shows his genitalia to a group of women and girls at a spa in, in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago. And the LA Times writes that— describes it as male-appearing organ, a male-appearing organ. And they are secular and utterly irrational. It's perfectly fine for a biological man to expose himself to girls if he says he's a woman. I mean, so please understand that the larger picture here is, is incredibly important. The abandonment of reason in the secular That is, that should be the title of somebody's book. I play the Prime Minister of New Zealand from last week. That's not her. This is a question.
That adds to the anxiety that people feel. So I continue to share the message: New Zealanders must prepare, but do not panic. Prepare. And when you see those messages, remember that unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth.
And I really— All right, that's, uh, it's all we needed really. Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth. There you go. And what does it mean, don't panic? She's the chief panicker in New Zealand and she's telling the people not to panic. Lockdown is not a form of panic. No schooling. The despicable, evil, evil, evil, evil demand that students get vaccinated in order to go to college. Parents should not, should not obey that and send their child to a college. There are plenty of colleges that have not made that demand. There is no reason in the world for young people to get the vaccine. It is criminal, in my opinion, criminal demanding that they do so. We don't know what will be in a few years. Maybe nothing. But why would you risk it when they are not at risk? The abundance of caution people throw caution to the winds with regard to vaccinating the young. You wonder, do they believe anything they say? Oh, abundance of caution, really? Is that what is motivating you in giving young people a vaccine? An abundance of caution? On the contrary, it's an abundance of no caution. Bruce in Glendale, Arizona. Hello.
Good morning, Dennis. Thank you for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
Yes, about the masks. I sat down and I confronted my doctor about the masks. Nowhere growing up do any of us, you know, during cold and flu season have their parents say, "Wash your hands and put on your mask." I told her it embarrassed me and I felt like a fool to come into her office wearing a mask, but she and I knew at least as much as the other about virology. Just from my sophomore biology class, I learned there's 3 ways to contract the virus: direct contact like kissing, indirect like touching somebody sneezing, and, uh, aerosol, which is the least possible way to contract a virus. And I told her that since these masks are a 15 or 20 micron rating and the COVID virus is 1.4, uh, why are we doing this? We're two adults sitting in a room and we both know what's going on, so why are we playing this game?
And she admitted to me that it was all for theater.
Um, she was scared when she told me this. I know that the AMA, um, you know, is dead set for pushing politics. And so, um, that's where it is.
You're right. That's where it is. Theater. That's the word. Good word, my friend. Theater. Shakespeare said all the world's a play and we're all— the world's a stage and we're all actors. Never has this been as true in my lifetime. Theater. The masks is theater. That's completely theater. That's right, that's correct. Jim in Salem, Wisconsin. Hello.

100%, Charlie. And it's not like this is the only example. I mean, listen, if you've been watching for the last 5 years. Look at the FBI.
Look at what they were doing.
You know, nothing happens.
They can lie before Congress. They can go and do a witch hunt. They can all know that it's BS. They can all get on TV and act as political pundits and talk about things in a way that they know to not be correct. You saw that, right? They testified before Congress. No, there was nothing there. But on TV every night, they pretended as though Russia, Russia, Russia was a real thing.

Donald Rumsfeld is famous for many things. Before Donald Trump, there was Newt Gingrich in the 2012 campaign demonstrating hostility to the media and confrontation with the media. But before there was Newt Gingrich, there was Donald Rumsfeld demonstrating command of the media. Most famous for his combination of command and concise knowledge is this cut, which is his most famous response to a question.
There are reports that there is no evidence of a direct link between Baghdad and some of these terrorist organizations.
There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know.
Excuse Excuse me, but is this an unknown unknown? I'm not— several unknowns, and I'm just—
I'm not going to say which it is.
The Secretary—
right here.
Right here.
See, Rumsfeld knew exactly what he was doing. It makes perfect sense. And that's why his memoir is known as Known Unknowns. But for the full tutorial on how to deal with the media, here is a press situation with Donald Rumsfeld on April 11th, 2003. Listen to how he deals with a hostile press.
I picked up a newspaper today and I couldn't believe it. I read 8 headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest, and it just was Henny Penny, the sky is falling. I've never seen anything like it. And here is a country that's being liberated.

Hello, my friends. Good to be with you. Give you an idea of the irrationality that dominates the secular world today. There was a piece that I, I missed reporting to you from last, uh, couple of weeks ago. Video circulating on social media appears to show an Oklahoma State University teaching assistant saying she will not teach Spanish because she is white. Um, silent so that it sinks in and that you not wonder what you heard, because you heard it correctly. Jessica Bridges, according to a LinkedIn profile, is set to receive her doctorate degree in social foundations of education. My friends, that's a very bad sign when you're getting a doctorate in social foundations of education. It doesn't mean anything anyway. All of the PhDs in education don't mean anything. They mean that you have been corrupted in the ability to use common sense. The comments were reportedly made during the Southern Connecticut State University's 2021 virtual Women's and Gender Studies Conference. Oh, that's a good sign. Racism originates with and is perpetuated by white people, Bridges said in the video. At another point, she asserts that white isn't right, but they're not racist. See, that's the amazing thing. Bridges vows to confront her internalized white supremacy by not teaching Spanish. Learning Spanish from a white woman. I wish I could go back and tell my students not to learn power or correctness from this white woman, she says. What does that mean? Nothing. It means nothing. The woman is an idiot. She's another example of why I think anyone who thinks if the world were governed by women, it would be a better place should rethink that proposition. Dismantling white supremacy in society looks like dismantling in my heart first. It means I'm not going to teach Spanish. I don't understand that. If anybody could explain it to me within the next couple of minutes, I would appreciate it. Why is it a function of white supremacy to teach Spanish? Is it Hispanic supremacy to teach English? These things mean— these, these things make sense to these people. This woman got up, is getting a PhD. It's part of the reason she speaks drivel. Who was it? R.R. Reno, who said that if he sees now that you have a degree from Yale or any prestigious college, he assumes you're an idiot. I'm paraphrasing. In hiring people, it actually is a strike against them. I totally agree. In fact, the PhD is a strike against you. In these, in the outside of STEM, science, technology, engineering, and math, the assumption is that you don't think clearly. And gradually it will dawn on people. And that will be a A better day in America where, of course, there are people with PhDs who have intelligence. However, the more recent the PhD, the more one assumes that you're a fool. That's it. I do. Fools give fools degrees. That's what's happened. She won't teach Spanish because it's a form of white supremacy. I understand almost everything they say. This, this one eludes me. I admit it, it eludes me. Why a white person teaching Spanish is a form of white supremacy. However, please know when you send your kid to college, that's what they will learn. All right, Larry Elder's coming up. Looking forward to that, needless to say. In the meantime, a magnificent product that I have, uh, come through truly respect, not only use, is Relief Factor. I got a chance to speak last week on a Zoom call with a doctor who put it together. Some sort of a genius in my opinion. And they haven't replicated it. Nobody's replicated it.

When did you wake up and say, hang on, this is not good?
Well, like I said earlier, I've been in for over 15 years. The first 14 years of my career I was in the Air Force, was in the flying community, and then came into the Space Force. Every unit that I've ever been in, all of my professional interactions with people during the Hi everybody, finally, as promised, Larry Elder on the line.
Larry Elder is running for governor of the state of California. California should be so lucky, and the country for that matter. Larry, I have so many questions, and we, we have, you know, as you know radio as well as I, limited time. So Let me begin and then have you say anything you want, and of course how we can help you further. And number one, are they giving you a hard time getting on the ballot?
They are, Dennis, and I know we have limited time, but Dennis, you know how quickly I can speak, so I'll squeeze a lot in. Because of their hatred of Donald Trump, I'm talking about the left-wing legislature here in California that's two-thirds dominated in both chambers. By the Democrats. They passed a law to require Trump to be eligible for the 2020 ballot by first submitting 5 years of his tax returns. It was challenged in court, went all the way up to the California Supreme Court. They ruled unanimously that it was unconstitutional, but they did let it hold for gubernatorial races, so it applies here for the very first time. And it requires, as I mentioned, you to submit 5 years of tax returns, and we both did that, unredacted and redacted tax returns. Returns. And so on Sunday, we finally get a letter from the Secretary of State, who's a Democrat. And here's what she says: according to our records, you did not qualify due to one or more of the following reasons. One box is no declaration of candidacy was filed. That's not checked, because we did. Nomination signature requirement was not met. That was not checked, because we did that. No income tax return disclosure consent and acknowledgment form was filed. That was left blank, because we did that. No income tax returns were filed. That was left blank because we did that. The only one checked is the following: incomplete, redacted, and/or unredacted income tax returns were filed. Near as we can figure out, I did not redact my Social Security number, or there was something else equally minor that was either redacted that shouldn't have been redacted, or something was unredacted that should not have been unredacted. We don't know, but we suspect it's Social Security number. If that's the case, The reason for the required redaction is to protect the candidate. They don't want the candidate's Social Security number becoming public for obvious reasons. So if I either, because of a mistake or willfully, provided it, it's on me. It doesn't hurt anybody. So no lawyer I've talked to— and yesterday I talked to 4— thinks that this is going to disqualify me. And we're having a conversation with the Secretary of State as we speak. And if this is not reversed, we're going to court. And I'm going to win this. This is something that a first-year law student could win.
It's so, it's so obvious.
And by the way, Dennis, uh, guess who's not required to turn in 5 years of his tax returns? Gavin Newsom. And according to the Sacramento Bee, in a tweet this morning put out by a reporter, she found that 2 of the Republican candidates, 2 of the more prominent ones, did not turn in their 2020 tax returns. Now that's not necessarily a violation of anything because of COVID everybody had an extension. But somehow, some way, Larry Elder was able to get his 2020 tax returns filed among the 5 that were required. Can you imagine what they would have done to me if I had not turned in 2020 tax returns? It clearly looks like a target for me because I'm the only one that I believe they're afraid of. My name recognition is higher than anybody else's other than Caitlyn Jenner's. I've been on every market, major market in Sacramento, as you have, Dennis, for the last several years. I've been talking about these issues for a long time. This guy is scared to death, and that's what I think happened. So we're going to be in court later on today if this thing is not reversed.
Unbelievable. All right, next, is there a, a sort of blackening— that's the bad word.
Can you imagine if I were Al Sharpton? The race cars would be flying if I were Al Sharpton. But of course Of course, right? I don't play that way. I'm not a conspiracy guy.
That's why we're both laughing. I don't know, I'm thinking of blackout. That's the— that's— so I was trying to make it into a verb. Is, is there a, is there a blackout in, in terms of the media with regard to Larry Elder?
Well, Dennis, uh, you and I of course can talk about this for hours. Uh, the biggest, uh, news organ of course in California is the Times. We've talked about this before. I published half a dozen books. Not a single one was ever reviewed by the LA Times, even though two of them made the LA Times bestseller list. My documentary, Uncle Tom, that grossed more money than all the five documentaries that were nominated for best documentary last year combined, had a higher IMDb rating than any of them that was nominated, not reviewed by the LA Times. You know, so, Dennis, my column is carried in the Valley local newspaper, The Daily News. My column is carried in the Orange County newspaper, The Orange County Register. I published over 1,000 articles since April 1998. I think I've missed one week. The LA Times has never published a single one of them. To my knowledge, there is no conservative local writer in the LA Times. There is no conservative member of the editorial board, let alone a conservative member of color on the LA Times editorial board. So am I being shafted by local media, talking specifically about the LA Times? Hell yeah, I am. But what else is new?
I want you to know, you may not know this because you're so busy campaigning, there was an article about you by a Times columnist.
I know who he is, Jean Guerrero. And basically she called me a hate monger, a self-loathing black man who believes that black people are criminally inclined or something, some such nonsense. Her name is Jean Guerrero. She interviewed me extensively for the book she did on Stephen Miller, who's one of my closest friends. He's been on my radio show ever since he was a teenager at Santa Monica High. I've said nothing at all but positive things about him. She wrote a book in which she called him a hate monger. And during the interview, Dennis, she's a very attractive lady, she smiles sweetly and would nod her head when you're saying stuff to give you the impression she thought that what you were saying was fair, and then totally shafted you. During the interview, she said, As I was saying things about Dennis, she said, "Can you tell me something Dennis has ever done that shows his compassion?" And I said, "Have you ever asked that question about a left-wing person you ever interviewed?" And she admitted she never had. The assumption is, of course, left-wing people are compassionate and people who are conservative are not, so therefore she has to ask that question. Yeah, and I asked, I said, "How many times have you asked that of a left-wing person?" She admitted she never had.
He treats his dogs well.
Yeah, I said, what about the fact that he cares about the country? What about the fact that he wants everybody to realize his God-given potential? Same as people on the left. Doesn't that count? And she had nothing to say.
I'll tell you though where I got her, and I am going to be tweeting this. She lied, pure lie, about you. She said you twisted— those are her words— twisted facts about, about Black, Blacks and crime.
But black crime, that's exactly what it didn't say, which, which fact I twisted. Of course, no, they never do that.
You click on the URL under twisted, you only get your list. You get no refutation of what you wrote, right? So she lied. She just lied about you. Where should people send money?
Well, if people really care about my candidacy, they should go to electelder.com. electelder.com. And Dennis, Gavin Newsom can spend an unlimited amount of money. The campaign laws do not apply to him, but all of his rivals do have campaign limitations. And this is a national race. You know, a lot of people leave—
All right, stay on, stay on, Larry. Back in a moment.

Great.
We've had 6 months of the new administration. It is the farthest thing from moderation that the government has ever seen, and it is the fastest track to extremism that we've ever had elected.
But Kevin, how did I know that in advance? Why in my debate would they French, did I know this? And you knew this. There was no question in my mind. So the fact that this has now happened, part of me wants to say, haha, but it's just too sad to say, haha. This is something that I warned against and you warned against and others warned against because we knew that the consequences are devastating.

There's about 57 Muslim states in the world. There's one Jewish state. The massive ingathering of Jews in the last 150 years back to the land is absolutely unprecedented. They say that there's no greater sign of redemption coming than the Jewish people returning to the hills of Judea.
As a Christian, I've always always supported Israel's claim to the Holy Land. To me, the Palestinians were just getting in the way of God's plan.

Yesterday, General Milley told a congressional hearing that, uh, there is no chance— not no chance, very unlikely and very little motivation for the People's Republic of China on this, the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, to assault Taiwan in the near term. Quote, there's no reason to do it militarily, and they know that. So I think the probability is probably low in the immediate near-term future. Your reaction, Senator Cotton?
Well, I think that's right. Up through the end of the Beijing Olympics in February. You know, Russia didn't invade Crimea 8 months before the Sochi Olympics in 2014. They invaded it 4 days after those Olympics ended.

All right, my friends, Larry Elder is on with me, running for governor of the state of California. The attempt to smear him and ignore him on the part of the mainstream media is worthy of documentation. In one case, he was simply lied about. And I said on the— I said, by the way, Larry, I said either you lied about the statistics or she lied about your twisting the statistics, correct?
Right, correct.
So therefore, if you lied, you shouldn't be governor. And if she lied, she shouldn't be a columnist for the L.A. Times?
Well, that makes her qualified to be a columnist for the L.A. Times, doesn't it? By the way, Dennis, but for you, I wouldn't be in this race. You know, you not only are responsible for my having my radio career, you're also responsible for getting me into this race. You first approached me, and you remember what I told you? I told you hell no, and I gave you my reasons why. But other people said the same thing— Jack Hibbs, Lionel Chetwin— and I began I began to think more and more about it, but but for you, I wouldn't be in this race. So may God have mercy on your soul. By the way, Dennis, I submitted 5 years' worth of tax returns. This is over 250 pages we're talking about. And one more quick thing about my being treated unfairly. I was interviewed by a black newspaper when I was in Sacramento a couple days ago. I'd never heard of the newspaper. It's been around for about 60 years. And they were kind of hostile at first. And I said to them, aren't you tired of the fact that 75% of black kids educated in public schools in California cannot read at state levels of proficiency? Are you tired that my former high school, Crenshaw High School, only 2% of the kids are math proficient? Aren't you tired of being forced to send your kid to a school where only 2% of the kids are math proficient, and by the way, is a state school that is dominated by the gang called the Crips? Aren't you tired of voting for a party that says hell no to to parents, a majority of whom in the inner city, black and brown, want choice in school, and the very people that you vote for are not giving it to you. Aren't you sick of this? Aren't you sick of this attack on the police? They're pulling back. It's called the Ferguson effect, and the people primarily hurt by this are black and brown people living in the urban areas. Aren't you sick of this? Aren't you tired of this? And Dennis, it was like somebody hit him in the head with a 2x4. And I haven't seen the article they wrote yet, but I'm sure it's going to be a lot different than what they thought it was going going to be.
That is an incredibly important story. I believe, as I believe that, that, that, that I am married and I have two sons— I mean, it, it is a fact in my life that if every Black in California heard you, you would get half the Black vote at least. That they know that, and that is why it is so important not to enable you to be be heard.
That's what I think, Dennis. I, I get, I get Spectrum cable, and when I first got it, it irritated me because it defaults when you turn it on to the LA Times channel. Uh, and little by little, I began watching it, and the other day, there's a story about a Black woman who has a private school in, uh, you know, she set up her own school. Two-thirds of Black people say they do not want to send their kids back to Los Angeles Unified School District, and they believe one of the reasons is because of racism. And the racism is not because the teachers and the administrators are Black, the majority of whom are Black. It's they believe the worst teachers end up going to the schools where the kids need them the most.
