Hey, oh really? Where? It doesn't matter. Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, doesn't matter to me. Well, now I am going to present. So let's just talk about the president for a moment. President seems to be on the mend, which is a wonderful thing. Aside from the human standpoint, it's a wonderful thing. Here is a senior citizen who is— I wouldn't say that he is anywhere near obese, but he's, he's overweight. And so he is sort of prime candidate, and he's working from the hospital White House. And the First Lady seems to be fine. She was never even hospitalized, correct? Not that we know of anyway. I have a question that nobody seems to have an answer to, and that is where, where, if any, was the role of hydroxychloroquine and zinc in his treatment? Had he been taking it prior to the hospitalization, and was it given there? Now, the, the quick answer is he does what his doctors tell him, which I understand, and I would say half the doctors of the country have not done the investigation that you would think a doctor should do into the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and zinc. You know, there's a statement in the Talmud, the, the second oldest body of literature in Judaism. The first oldest is the Bible, the Hebrew Bible, Old Testament. Second is the Talmud. And it's the second holiest work in Judaism, and it's gigantic. It's way, way bigger than the Bible. It's as big as an encyclopedia, like the Encyclopedia Britannica, those of you who know what I'm talking about. And they have a phrase in there, believe it or not, this will shock you, this is about 1,800 years ago, the best doctors go to hell. Yes, it's a literal translation from the Hebrew. Tov shebachofim legehinom. The best doctors go to hell. Now, why would they say that? And the reason is that they, the best doctors have a very real risk of self-deification. It's not God who heals ultimately. It's I. I am God. And there is that danger. We make lawyer jokes. We don't make doctor jokes. Given the number of mistakes in hospitals, I don't know why we don't make doctor jokes. Doctors have saved my life, by the way. This is not anti-doctor. This is anti-nonsense. But the, the notion that, uh The doctor knows best. If doctors know best, why do you go for a second opinion? But you're not allowed to have a second opinion on Twitter. You, you know that there is no second opinions on medical matters on Twitter or Facebook. It's really something unique in American history that you cannot have medical dissent aired. All right, 1-800-PRAGER-776. I'm open to taking calls, and the number is 877-243-7776. Now, uh, I am apologizing to the living martyr that I have to do this. So Breitbart and Outkick and other places are telling me that the NBA ratings are dramatically down, right? Yeah, let me read to you. Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Heat utterly collapsed. With just 4.5 million viewers. The embarrassing average is down 68% from last year's Game 2, which featured a team in Canada where most Americans obviously are not big fans of. How bad is the number? It's the least-watched NBA Finals game on record, dropping even below Game 1's 7.41, the lowest-viewed Finals opener in history. Okay, so those are all facts, but this may go under the rubric of lies, damn lies, statistics. But now I'm about to tell you something that negates the power of what I just read to you, which bothers me because I, I rely on on these sites often. I verify, but I verify everything, so I guess I don't rely on them. I, I verify everything. This is an example of me verifying. So here's from the New York Post, which is also conservative. According to Sports Media Watch, Stanley Cup viewership was down 61%, the Kentucky Derby dropped 43%, The U.S. Open sank 56% and the Indy 500 fell 32%. So it negates the power of the NBA, uh, failing. They're all failing, having nothing to do with politics. Kentucky Derby had nothing to do with politics. Hockey has nothing to do with politics. You have an answer? Do you want to speak into the microphone? Give him the microphone, because I— this is a great example of what is true. Okay.

So people just aren't watching sports. They're not watching the NBA. They're not watching the NFL.

They're not watching hockey.

They're just not watching sports because they have been turned off by the politicization of— so it even include golf?

It includes everything.

It's just a general feeling of sports. Curious what you folks think. I am. We'll be back in a moment. 1-800-PRAGER-776. I'm Dennis Prager.

Hmm.

Donald Trump apparently is upset with the FBI director for suggesting that Russia is again meddling in the election in favor of him, in favor of Trump. Media's going crazy over Donald Trump disagreeing with the FBI. Donald Trump disagreeing with the, what the FBI said about the degree to which the Russians are interfering in the election. The biggest interferer in the election by far are you guys. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, New York Times, LA Times, virtually every major big city newspaper, left-wing. NPR, left-wing. PBS, left-wing. Virtually every political science department of every university in this country, big, small, East, West, North, South, public, private, with some exceptions, left-wing. Why do you suppose the majority of Democrats believe that Russia interfered with vote tallies even though there's zero evidence of this? And the answer is, after giving a steady— after being given a steady diet that Donald Trump is a racist, Donald Trump is a fascist, Donald Trump is Hitler, Donald Trump is incompetent, Donald Trump is lazy, Donald Trump is a grifter, Donald Trump only ran because he wanted to kill Americans and enrich himself. After you're getting a steady diet of this, you have to say to yourself, how could any rational person go into a voting booth or fill out a mail-in ballot and put this guy's name down? How could anybody do that?

The Democrat Party, as America is still, still recovering from the largest self-imposed economic shutdown in modern history. You know what Nancy's doing with the Democrats? They had a vote yesterday on making sure that certain phrases should not be used to describe the Chinese virus. This is from The Blaze. Chris Pandolfo. The Democrat majority in the US House of Representatives passed a resolution Thursday night condemning, condemning, condemning what? The shooting of two deputies in Compton, Los Angeles. The $2 billion worth, the $2 billion worth of damage and looting done to America by Democrat voters.

No.

To condemn the phrase China virus and other terms used to describe COVID-19 as a form of, quote, anti-Asian sentiment. The resolution introduced by Representative Grace Meng of New York calls on public officials to condemn and denounce, quote, all forms of anti-Asian sentiment as related to COVID-19. It passed in a mostly party-line vote of 243 to 163 with 14 Republicans. Eric, I want the names of those 14 Republicans. We will name and shame them here on America First. 14 Republicans who think it's important to control our use of language.

Evidently the other day Hey everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. Good to be with you, and I want to remind you about Trump Card, the Dinesh D'Souza film. It is about what is going to happen and what is happening. Trump is the trump card. That is the, that is the thesis of the film, but it's a Dinesh D'Souza film, and therefore you know it's going to be riveting and well done. Trump Card will be coming out later in the month, but it is now out at SalemNow.com. You can watch it today at SalemNow.com, the new Dinesh D'Souza film. We need all of the excellent presentations of truth that we can get. That film is one of them, as No Safe Spaces is, as Larry Elder's Uncle Tom is. And now we have Dinesh D'Souza's film at SalemNow.com. Trump card. Yes, indeed. So I have a question here, and this is a great example of where your input is vital. Which, which is the truth? The NBA Finals have the lowest ratings ever. But they've also had very low ratings in hockey, at the Kentucky Derby, at the US Open, at the Indianapolis 500, at the Stanley Cup. So how do you explain that outside of lockdown terms? Is it really a reaction against the politicization of, in this case, the NBA? I mean, to watch an NBA game, especially with LeBron James, the man has just bought, what, a $40 million home, a $24 million home, once you get up there I lose track, and tells us how fearful he is as a black man. The man's a sick dude, and he's an idiot. He is an idiot. Everything he says is stupid. Because he is a great basketball player means nothing with regard to anything he says, correct? Why isn't that obvious? He just gets the NBA in trouble. He just gets the Lakers in trouble. He just gets America in trouble. He's a troublemaker. Poor guy. Gee, I tell you, your heart breaks for the guy. Anyway, people are playing a ball game while telling you, you and your country stink, but please cheer for us. You stink, your country stinks, but please cheer for us. Bill, Philadelphia, hello. Oh, I, I wasn't aware of that. That's important.

Wow.

So wait, well, did the Flyers— are you a Flyers fan? Right, so didn't the Flyers remove the statue of, of that, the great woman who sang, uh, God Bless America, Kate Smith? Yeah, so they sort of anticipated the breaking down of American culture, the Flyers. Yeah, no, but I'm saying they, they, they gave us a preview of the tearing down of statues. So here's an avid hockey fan. By the way, I need you fans to know I have anger on your behalf. I appreciate the positive role sports can play. When the Kings made it to the Stanley Cups and won a Stanley— 2 Stanley Cups— and I, I actually had season tickets. This is not foreign to me, rooting, uh, for, for your team or any team, whatever it is. But the left destroys everything it touches. I mean that literally. There is no exception of which I am aware. Sports is just the latest. Well, it's not the latest. Science is the latest. Sports and science are tied. Charles in Irvine, California. Hi.

Racism were written in large black letters and many players were standing around reverently and it was a big ceremony about a month or so ago. Uh, also the Kentucky Derby had a moment of silence for, uh, people of color or some such thing, or racial injustice, and many of the jockeys were wearing black armbands.

Oh, I see. I didn't know this. Well, so the living, the living martyr may be right. Very interesting. Thank you for that call. So everything's been— well, what about golf? That would— maybe some of you know that. I, I would be very curious. Tampa, Florida. Franco. Hello, Franco.

Hey, Dennis. Wow, man, it's a real honor to, uh, to speak with you for the first time. Um, listen, I, uh, as I told your screener, um, I want to discuss, uh, the hydroxychloroquine. I'm surprised you even mentioned it on the radio because some of the biggest names on TV and in medicine, people like Dr. Oz and Drew Pinsky, um, I don't know if you know Dr. Zelenko, if you, if you've listened to any of his stuff, but, um, their voices have just been drowned found out, and it's almost like they, they're living in fear. Well, maybe with the exception of Dr. Zelenko, but it seems like everyone's living in fear and won't even discuss it. And I wanted to see what you thought about that.

I know, I know. Look, they, they didn't discuss it, yay or nay, with regard to the president. That was my opening comment. The president is the one who recommended it to begin with. You'd think something would have been said. I mean, isn't that the obvious question everybody would have? Did he take it in the early days? Was he taking it as a prophylactic? I've announced 10 times I, I take it every week. I take zinc every day and I take hydroxychloroquine every week. The fact that the people feel intimidated is only because we have communists running medicine. Just like we have running everything else. I never used this term before. I can't— I don't know what you prefer. Leftists? I'll use leftists. They shut you up. Free speech has never existed in anything that the left controls. Never. Whether it's the Soviet Union, China, Eastern Europe under communism, or the universities today in America. Once you believe in liberty and you're left of center, you're a liberal. If you don't believe in liberty and you're left of center, you're a leftist. It's the way it works. Unfortunately, the liberals put the leftists in power. Because they're naive, which is a crime in an adult. If you're 12 and you're naive, well, Go to religious school and then you'll lose your naivete. I learned how bad the human condition was in third grade reading Genesis.

that the 2016 election was the first that we know of, I guess, you had both major party candidates under investigation by the FBI. Now you might ask yourself, well, gee, the candidates were really bad. Maybe they were all bad people. No, I think what happened was the FBI should not have been involved in politics to the degree that they were. And the book starts out, it's really the road to the Mueller investigation in the first chapter, and it's about James Comey. And in the transition— this is after Donald Trump has won the presidency— in the transition, a lot of his most trusted people around him are strongly urging him to fire James Comey immediately. Rudy Giuliani said, "He's going to turn on you. There's something wrong with this guy." And Chris Christie said, "He's a loose cannon, and if you keep him after you become president, he'll become your loose cannon." You know, these people were not offended on behalf of Hillary Clinton in the way that Comey handled the Clinton email case, but they thought it was erratic, they thought it was unprofessional, and they thought it would be a prediction of the kind of stuff that would happen if Comey remained FBI director after Trump was president. Trump did not take their advice in what I think everybody could probably say was a mistake. He brought with him to the White House habits that he had used in decades in business. And one of those habits of mind was that he can bring people around. He can win them over. He can talk to them and with the sheer force of his personality, bring them over to his side. And he thought he could do that with Comey. And I think we can all agree that that was a failure.

How many times a day do you ask yourself, am I going crazy? I had that moment last night when I turned on CNN for about 3, 2 or 3 torturous minutes, and I saw what looked like about 20 or 30 cars pulled up to a stage where CNN was hosting a town hall with Joe Biden. And I'm comparing that to the president's rally in Wisconsin because I went from CNN and the Biden town hall to the Trump rally in Wisconsin. And I thought, I'm losing my mind. That what they got, they have a drive-in movie theater kind of function. And there's Biden standing like 12 feet away from Anderson Cooper. And then I saw a clip on social media that when they thought they were on a break, Anderson Cooper and Joe Biden immediately got close to each other, and Biden leaned in and was whispering something in Anderson Cooper's ear, like they didn't think the cameras are on so they don't need to socially distance. And there were third— it was apparently a minor league baseball stadium, baseball stadium in Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, and they had like cars pulled up and people standing in white boxes. They were like on, on a platform with white tape that they— you better stand in the box and ask Biden a bunch of softball questions about what a bad guy Donald Trump is. I— there are really— there are moments where you think you're losing your mind, but you're not. I'm, I'm here to tell you, you're not crazy. They are, okay? They're nuts. They're nuts.

Hi everybody, I'm honored to have Senator Ted Cruz on the line. Let me tell you why I say I'm honored. I don't use words cavalierly because he is a rare, rare fighter for the American system, for our values. He— and he's rare, unfortunately. You would think the Republicans have a majority here or there, in this case the U.S. Senate. And this is not to cast dispersion on his colleagues. But as you all know, I divide good people into 3 groups, and I hope Senator Cruz hears this because he will understand how I regard him. There are 3 types of good people: those who fight, those who help the fighters, and those who do nothing. Those who do nothing is the largest group, and those who help the fighters are very important, and he is a fighter. So, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.

Well, Dennis, my friend, you are a fighter yourself, and it's an honor to be with you once again.

I take that very sincerely. Thank you, sir. So you have a book out, a really important one, One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History, and you review cases where indeed one vote has, has changed history. When was the last time— and I I should know the answer, but I don't. Do you know the answer? When was the last time that there was a clear conservative majority on the Supreme Court?

I don't know that we've ever had a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, at least in modern times. We have had a Republican majority for decades, but one of the things the book goes through is that Republicans are terrible at nominating Supreme Court justices. Democrats, they get almost 100% of their picks right. Republicans, we don't even bat 500. Many of the worst judicial activists in history were nominated by Republican presidents. And the last chapter of the book, I traced the history of Supreme Court nominations going back to Dwight D. Eisenhower. And if you look at Earl Warren, William Brennan, John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Harry Blackmun, the author of Roe v. Wade, all of them were Republican appointees. And what I try to lay out is a path to how to get it right going forward, that if you look at those justices who remained faithful to the Constitution, who honored their oaths, justices like Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, and Sam Alito, and my former boss on the court, Chief Justice William Rehnquist, they all had similar patterns. They had served in the executive branch, they had defended conservative principles, they defended constitutional principles, and here's the most critical part, they had been excoriated, they had been pounded in the press, and they hadn't given in. And that is a proven record under heat and under fire I think is the most important criteria. On the other hand, when Republican presidents nominate stealth candidates who've never said or done anything, but someone says, trust me, trust me, they'll be great, over and over again they turn into train wrecks.

God, you put it perfectly. I have said to my listeners for decades, the moment a person cares what the New York Times says about them, It is over. So you have put up in your way— if they have proven, if a judge has proven that he or she does not care what the media say about them, they will be a secure constitutionalist on the bench. Otherwise, probably not.

You know, there's actually a syndrome that has been named after that, which is, for a long time the Supreme Court reporter at the New York Times was Linda Greenhouse.

Right.

And there was something they called the Greenhouse Effect, which is justices like Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor learned if they go left, if they vote with the left, they got praised in the New York Times. And the Greenhouse Effect consistently moved the court and the country left. And I mean, one of the things I write in the book is we need Supreme Court justices that don't want to go to DC cocktail parties, that despise cocktail parties because the pressure to move to the left is enormous.

I can't stop laughing and smiling because, you know, it's like a joy to hear truths. The book, folks, is so important. One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History, Ted Cruz's book. It is up at DennisPrager.com. It is not long. It is extremely interestingly written, and as I said, as you hear, really important. I have a lot to talk to Senator Cruz about, and we will be back in a moment.

As I mentioned, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died, 87 years old. CNN is reporting, AP is also reporting it, Fox is also reporting it. She was appointed by Bill Clinton, second woman to be appointed to the court. Had been in and out of the hospital for several months. She's made it clear she's not a fan of Donald Trump. Made it pretty clear she was trying to hold on until a Democrat president came along so that she would not be succeeded by someone who'd be nominated as a Republican. It's very unlikely anything's going to happen between now and the election, but Uh, it also raises the stakes of this election, doesn't it? We're only one vote away from losing the individual right to keep and bear arms, as well as another vote, as well as other liberties. But this is a big one. Last time the Supreme Court weighed in on a gun case was the Heller case a few years ago. It was about whether or not a man had an individual right to keep and bear arms. There was a law in D.C. that said You could not have a firearm in your own home. Uh, any security guard had a firearm, he challenged the law, and the Supreme Court said that he was right, that this— the Second Amendment gave you an individual right to keep and bear arms, not a right as a member of a collective, but as an individual right. That was just a 5-4 decision. So this is going to really, really shake things up and become another major, major issue.

One of our guests, a very godly man, said that The situation is so dire that it's not just prayers that are needed, but, but somebody like the president, an American leader, has to officiate over some kind of spiritual rededication of the nation. Do you think things are so dire that we have to have a rededication of this nation to its founding principles?

Yes, and, and I say that kind of with a hesitant voice. Um, there needs to be not only a rededication, but there needs to be a confession of our sins as a nation and a turning from those sins, and a turning from sins and turning to God.

And, uh, and I believe when we do that, God might just This book is a great guide, by the way, to some of the great cases before the Supreme Court that have changed American life. It's really terrific. One vote away by Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz. By the way, do you know if there's an Audible version of your book?

So there is an Audible version of the book. It's available on Amazon and Barnes Noble or anywhere you get books. And I'll tell you, actually just today, the book is the number one bestseller in the country on Amazon. We're number two on Barnes Noble. So it's been really, a lot of people have been going and getting it. And part of it is because what I try to do I wanted to do in the book, Dennis, is take people really behind the scenes and behind the curtain of what happens at the Supreme Court. So every chapter of the book is on a different Supreme Court liberty. And I tell the inside story. Before I was in the Senate, my career was as a Supreme Court litigator. So I argued cases before the court. And so I tell war stories. And so we talk about free speech and religious liberty and the Second Amendment and US sovereignty and democracy and elections. And I try to help people For a lot of folks, the court is hard to understand. It's confusing. You know it's important, but you don't necessarily understand the players and what's going on. And I try to make this very readable and interesting. You don't have to be a lawyer to enjoy it, but if you want to know what's going on at the court, if you want to know really the stakes of this 2020 election, and I think the single most important issue in this election is who the Supreme Court justices will be going forward and why on issue after issue for our fundamental rights that they're just one vote away from being taken away. And if you want to also understand the enormous stakes of this epic gladiatorial battle over Judge Amy Coney Barrett that we're in the middle of right now, I think this book helps give you the information to be able to talk with your friends and families and around the water cooler and really understand What's going on?

Somebody called me last week, Senator, and said, Dennis, are you aware that if she is confirmed, there will be 6 Catholics on the Supreme Court? To which I said, so what? I'm a Jew, I couldn't care less. I'll take 9 anybody who's conservative. Well, it's so funny that these are things that bother people. You're not Catholic. You don't care.

Look, what I care is that we have judges that follow the Constitution.

Exactly, exactly.

And there's a big difference. The left views these as partisan warriors. They view the Supreme Court just as another legislature. And this stems from the 1960s where they decided to take over the courts And the reason they did it is because their ideas were not popular. They couldn't get them through actual elections and convince elected legislators. So they said, well, let's just get 5 lawyers in robes to decree this outcome for the whole country. And it's— and on the right, which is one of the things that in the political debate there's a disconnect, which is the media doesn't understand that conservatives don't want justices who dictate conservative outcomes. For example, one of the chapters in the book is on school choice. I am passionate about school choice. I think it is the most important civil rights issue of this century. I don't want a Supreme Court that mandates school choice. I think it's absolutely the right policy. I fight for it in the Senate, and legislatures should adopt it. But do you know that we're one vote away from the Supreme Court striking down every single school choice program in America, that the left wants to use the court to ban it, to say you can't choose to give kids in struggling schools—

that's right—

a scholarship and a way out. And it's a real difference between following the Constitution versus trying to abuse the court and turn it into a partisan legislature.

If the—

onto another issue for a moment while I have you. If the Democrats win a Senate majority, even by one vote, can they then simply install two new states?

So they can. Adding a state does not take a constitutional amendment. It takes simple legislation.

Of a bare majority? Of a majority of one?

Yes. Well, to do it, they would have to end the Senate filibuster, which I believe they would. So if the Democrats win in November, If we wake up and we've got Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi running into everything, I think Schumer almost immediately will end the filibuster in the Senate, which means the minority then in the Senate is no longer able to stop their radical agenda. Once they do that, I think adding 2 states, adding the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will be one of the first things on their agenda. And their reason is nakedly and crassly political. They believe that will give them 4 new Democratic senators.

Yes, which is all they need. A permanent majority in our lifetime.

That, that is their plan. And also packing the Supreme Court. They've been very open about that. They want to increase the number of justices on the court. And we saw in the first debate, Joe Biden refused to answer the question because his base is demanding the answer be yes. And that would, would destroy the court. And yet that's what— that's where the left is.

I, I must admit though, I found it shocking when I learned that all it takes to admit a state is 50— is a a 51-49 vote.

So on D.C., there is a constitutional argument because the Constitution specifies that there has to be a district for the federal government. So it depends how they draft it. There would almost surely be litigation over D.C. The way they've done it is very clever, which is they've, they've still created a D.C. that's basically the Capitol building and a couple of other buildings. And they made all the rest of DC a brand new state around it. That's how they're trying to get around the constitutional prohibition. But that being said, as a general matter, admitting a new state, Puerto Rico for example, it's clear it can be done by legislation.

What did Harry Reid end, if not the filibuster?

So Harry Reid ended the filibuster for judges and executive nominees. So on, on the nomination side, but not on the legislation side. So, so we still have the filibuster. If you want to pass a piece of legislation, it takes 60 votes. And, and right now the Democrats use the filibuster all the time to stop good legislation. But what it has prevented is, in times of Democratic majorities, it has prevented—

okay, all right, I'm going to continue with Senator Cruz's His number one best-selling book is up at DennisPrager.com.

I'm not worried. Talk radio is here forever, and I'm glad to welcome new people into the arena.

But Joe Rogan Final segment with Senator Ted Cruz. One Vote Away is his book. I was so delighted to hear it's the number one best-selling book in the country. How a single Supreme Court seat could change history. Goes through the cases where it was one seat, and it's an insider's view as well. One Vote Away, up at DennisPrager.com. And, uh, I want to just touch on in a couple of minutes remaining, Senator, the, uh, you are a fighter, uh, for, uh, against the tech company censorship that's increasing. I used an example earlier in the show about I'm— I did the president take or not take hydroxychloroquine, which by the way, I, I have openly stated many times I take every week. Along with zinc every day. And, uh, Dr. Zelenko is one of the best-known doctors in the country to have used it on thousands of people. And now Twitter has shut down his account. This is a doctor on the front lines in New York, and they took down his Twitter account because he promotes hydroxychloroquine. This is how bad it is.

Well, big tech is shameless, and they're getting more and more egregious with their abuse of power. When it comes to medical science, listen, I'm not a doctor. I'm not going to purport to try to diagnose or treat anybody. But on any question of science, what you want is a full and fair discussion. You want to hear all sides, and history has not been kind to those who've tried to silence dissenting views when it comes to science. If that were the case, we would still believe the earth was flat. If that was the case, we would still believe the sun revolves around the earth. I mean, the history of science has been a history of heretics challenging whatever the conventional wisdom is. And when it comes with dealing with a pandemic that just has struck the United States and the world from Wuhan, China, we need to have a vigorous discussion. And an analysis of what's working and what isn't. And big tech doesn't care. They are monopolies, they are violating the law, and they're utterly brazen. You've got a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires who have declared themselves the rulers of what is allowed to be said, the arbiters of truth. And if you disagree with their politics, God help you, they will silence you.

Well, I hope other senators feel as you do, because you've been, along with one or two others, the only voices on this matter, which is the fundamental freedom of our country's speech. Congratulations on your book, Senator. One Vote Away. Let's stay in touch, and God bless you.

Thank you, Dennis, for all you do, and thank you for the great work PragerU does as well. It makes a difference with millions of people across the country and across the world, and and your voice is, is very, very important.

Bless you. Thank you. It means a lot. We shall return. The book is up again at DennisPrager.com. Hi, this is Dennis Prager, and you know we are in a fight for our fundamental freedoms. That's why I am grateful for my friends at Alliance Defending Freedom. They are on the front lines fighting pivotal lawsuits for Americans whose freedoms are threatened, and they do it for free. That's why we're asking you to be as generous as you can by giving today so that Alliance Defending Freedom can continue to fight these lawsuits and be ready when your rights are threatened too.

Another one, but I have to read to you from the competition across town, the Washington Post yesterday, quote, recent polls, two recent polls show Biden and Trump running about even. Among Latino voters in Florida, while Clinton outpaced Trump by 27 points with the group 4 years ago. Now that's the Washington Post citing 2 polls. Then they said Democratic Party officials are worried about Latino votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. This may be the story no one was aware of until this week, and all of a sudden the president shows up in Nevada, does Latino roundtable in Nevada, in Arizona, and in California. David, I think we're on to something here.

Well, look, the president's competing hard for the Latino vote. I wrote about this maybe 10 days ago. They've been sort of enmeshed in these communities for a long time. I think to properly understand the competition for these votes is to understand that not all Latinos or Hispanics are the same. Out west, you've got Hispanic Latinos of Mexican descent, and they're going to be more liberal than Americans of Cuban descent. I spent some time in South Florida in 2019 talking to Cuban Americans. And, you know, the president, from a policy perspective and a personality perspective, is a really good fit for the Cuban American vote. They kind of look at him as somebody who walks and talks like they do. Where the president is going to have a challenge is the increasingly large— and it is already large— population of Americans from Puerto Rico and Americans of Puerto Rican descent around Orlando.

As I mentioned, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died, 87 years old. CNN is reporting, AP is also reporting it, Fox is also reporting it. She was appointed by Bill Clinton, second woman to be appointed to the court. Had been in and out of the hospital for several months. She's made it clear she's not a fan of Donald Trump. Made it pretty clear she was trying to hold on until a Democrat president came along so that she would not be succeeded by someone who'd be nominated as a Republican. It's very unlikely anything's going to happen between now and the election, but it also raises the stakes of this election, doesn't it? We're only one vote away from losing the individual right to keep and bear arms, as well as other liberties. But this is a big one. Last time the Supreme Court weighed in on a gun case was the Heller case a few years ago. It was about whether or not a man had an individual right to keep and bear arms. There's a law in D.C. that said you could not have a firearm in your own home, uh, and a security guard had a firearm. He challenged the law, and the Supreme Court said that he was right, that this— the Second Amendment gave you an individual right to keep and bear arms, not a right as a member of a collective, but as an individual right. That was just a 5-4 decision. So this is going to really, really shake things up and become another major, major issue.

One of our guests, a very godly man, said that the situation is so dire that it's not just prayers that are needed, but, but somebody like the president, an American leader, has to officiate over some kind of spiritual rededication of the nation. Do you think things are so dire that we have to have a rededication? Dedication of this nation to its founding principles?

Yes, and, and I say that kind of with a hesitant voice. Um, there needs to be not only a rededication, but there needs to be a confession of our sins as a nation and a turning from those sins, and a turning from sins and turning to God. And, uh, and I believe when we do that, God might just hear from heaven and possibly heal our country. Our country needs a spiritual healing, and maybe God will use this prayer march to be a seed for that, a beginning for that. I don't know, but I just felt in my heart this is something that I should do, and, uh, and others I hope there'll be many thousands of us who will join together, and we will be united praying for our country. And I hope everyone who lives within a day's drive will just take that Saturday and come and join me. And let's shake that city of Washington for God and for his glory and for his Son, Jesus Christ.

That the 2016 election was the first that we know of, I guess, you had both major party candidates under investigation by the FBI. Now you might ask yourself, well, gee, the candidates were really bad. Maybe they were all bad people. No, I think what happened happened was the FBI should not have been involved in politics to the degree that they were. And the book starts out, it's really the road to the Mueller investigation in the first chapter. And it's about James Comey. And in the transition, this is after Donald Trump has won the presidency, uh, in the transition, a lot of his most trusted people around him are strongly urging him to fire James Comey immediately. Rudy Giuliani said, he's going to turn on you. There's something wrong with this guy. And Chris Christie said—

Well, hello. Oh, yes. I was going to say all, and then I decided not to say all because you know why. I know why. I am trained. That is, uh, what is it called? Cultural, uh, when you rob another culture, what is it again called? Yes, appropriation. Cultural. I would be culturally appropriating from the South. You know, it doesn't have to be another ethnicity, right? If you say y'all and you're from the North, you have culturally appropriated Southern speech. Just want yinz to know about it. That was dedicated to my listeners in Pittsburgh. I am about to read to you something that is the lowest yet It, it, it is half hilarious in a, in a very dark way, believe me, and half spectacularly frightening. We, with a Democratic takeover of the White House, Senate, and House, with all of its already its control in the media and academia, we, we will turn into a variation on Mao's China, Stalin's Soviet Union. This, this is proof, what I'm about to read to you. I was riveted when I read it. This is the way it goes. Matthew Mayhew and Musbah Shaheen co-wrote an article for the Inside Higher Ed. Clear? Who is Matthew Mayhew? The William Ray and Marie Adamson Fleischer Professor of Higher Education at Ohio State University. He has published more than 75 peer-reviewed articles and is a co-author of How College Affects Students, Volume 3. Muzba Shaheen is a PhD student in higher education at Ohio State University. You with me? So a distinguished professor of education at Ohio State and a PhD student in higher education at Ohio State co-wrote this piece for Inside Higher Ed. The title of the piece, Why America Needs College Football. Here it goes. I'm giving you, I will be reading to you excerpts. 'The world needs college football!' exclaimed a fellow Buckeye— that's the Ohio State team— the fans, as his face lit up with joy upon hearing the news. After months of deliberation and planning, the Big Ten finally announced the fate of college football in the age of COVID-19. The fall season is slated to kick off on the weekend of October 24th. Although many concerns remain about the health and safety of players and spectators, We happen to agree college football may be an essential element of our functioning democracy. Here's why. Few, if any, have addressed the essential role that college football may play toward healing a democracy made more fragile by disease, racial unrest, and a contested presidential election cycle. Essentializing college football. By the way, does anybody but an academic use the word essentialize? The answer is no. I mean, it's an absolute no. We are surrounded by intelligent people. Not one has ever said we need to essentialize something. But I'm going to start using it. I like it. It means to make essential. So I, My house essentializes toilet paper. Is that a good use of the term? What do you think? A good use, yes. Not a bad use. It's a use. No, I don't— I'm trying to figure— I'm not joking. How do— what is his— his sentence is what? Essentializing college football. Yes, so making college football essential. I guess that's what it means. All right, essentializing college football might help us get through these uncharacteristically difficult times of great isolation, division, and uncertainty. Indeed, college football holds a special bipartisan place in the American heart. Americans have lost the united sense of who we are as a nation. This election season has demonstrated how stifled, polarized, and dangerous our political differences have become. And college football can remind us of respect even in the wake of deep disagreement. We can root for different teams, scream at the players, argue with the refs, and question the coaches, but win or lose, at the end of the day, we leave the stadium, watch party or tailgate with a sense of respect for the game and the athletes. That train so hard, leaving it all out on the field every time. Indeed, if a player is injured, the entire stadium equally applauds, not just fans from one team. That's not true in Philadelphia. Deep differences don't have to lead to disrespect. In addition, football players have become beloved community figures beyond the boundaries of the stadium or campus. Football gives players a platform to make statements about issues they care about. We have seen student athletes taking part in protests and making demands for racial equity. We have seen student athletes kneel to protest police brutality. Colleges and universities should take many more steps to empower athletes to engage with the community. Depriving them the opportunity to play doesn't accomplish that goal. Okay, that's what he wrote. I will give you a gift if you can figure out why he was attacked so severely he completely recanted the article. I want you to know you will not be able. After all, the man is clearly a liberal. He is in favor of the politicization of sports. After he writes about how sports can unite us, he says, oh, it's a great thing that they have racist, anti-racist protests at the— even at college football games. What could he have possibly written that would offend the left? I know the left like I know my family, and I couldn't guess. The man then issued a week later an abject apology worthy of the Cultural Revolution under Mao or public confessions under Stalin. I want you to test yourselves before I read his abject confession. I want you to test yourselves. What did he write that is wrong? When I thought about it, the only thing I could come up with was that he said America needs healing and things that can unite us, and that, that might bug the left. But I was wrong. It might bug the left, but that's not what bugged them. Are you ready? Sean, can you figure out what he wrote that's wrong? Do you have any clue? Sean is giving the look of Rodin's The Thinker, in case you want to know the reaction I got. It's the most famous sculpture there is, right? Rodin's The Thinker. The man with his fist on his chin meditating Without moving. The sculptures don't move. Would you have guessed? You wouldn't have guessed, right? You wouldn't have guessed. Exactly. And neither I.

Ready?

Here we go. Why America Needs College Football Part 2. That's what it's called. And it's 5 days later. September 29th. Why America Needs College Football. Here is this first sentence. It doesn't. I was wrong. And even worse, I was uninformed, ignorant, and harm-inducing. I recently led a piece in Inside Higher Ed. Oh, okay. So you still don't know why. Guess during the break. I will, I will, I will, I will somehow get you a gift if you can guess what he said that made him a racist. 1-800-PRAGER-776-877-243-7776.

And Chris Christie said, "He's a loose cannon, and if you keep him after you become president, he'll become your loose cannon." You know, these people were not offended on behalf of Hillary Clinton in the way that Comey handled the Clinton email case. But they thought it was erratic, they thought it was unprofessional, and they thought it would be a prediction of the kind of stuff that would happen if Comey remained FBI director after Trump was president. Trump did not take their advice in what I think everybody could probably say was a mistake. He brought with him to the White House habits that he had, you know, used in decades in business, and one of those habits of mind was that that he can bring people around. He can win them over. He can talk to them and with the sheer force of his personality, bring them over to his side. And he thought he could do that with Comey. And I think we can all agree that that was a failure.

How many times a day do you ask yourself, am I going crazy? I had that moment last night when I turned on CNN for about 3, 2 or 3 torture All right, everybody, I want to remind you about keepamericaamerica.com.

These people, uh, are— understand what's at stake in this election. A lot of you do as well.

So you'll do what you can, but you'll learn what you can do. They're not asking for money. Do you want to say something? Would you want to give the microphone to Mr., uh, Martyr?

What, what they're doing now, go to their website, they will show you when your state is going to start early voting. Many states you can go to the polls and vote in person before November 3rd.

So they're providing this service which allows you the possibility of taking people to the polls.

You can take your parents, your friends, your relatives, help them get there to make sure that they vote not only November 3rd, which is obviously when most people are going to go, but even earlier.

So you're assured your vote is going to count. Thank you. KeepAmericaAmerica.com. Can't overstate the importance of this election. All righty, here. Okay, so I read to you this professor of education's article He's a liberal, thinks it's great when players take the knee and so on. But he said America needs college football. That was his— because it could bring people together. So I'm asking, why did the left hate his article, and why is he apologizing, groveling like, like a worm, 5 days later? I didn't guess. Neither are you. Uh, let's see. Pete in Dallas says many Black people play sports. Will COVID infect them? That's— by the way, that's as good a guess as any. Sydney in Columbus, Ohio: well, it's bipartisan and that's why they got angry at him. That's what I thought. Oh, you know, uh, there should— nothing should be bipartisan. Uh, Lucy in Los Angeles: they got on him because They don't believe that there should be an actual opposing viewpoint, but we don't know what he's opposing. That's the point. Hey, Fred in Lancaster, Ohio got it.

How did—

let me see. I want to ask Fred. Fred, you got to take an oath that you did not read this before and you guessed it.

Hello, Dennis.

You got to take an oath that you did not know the answer before.

Hello, Dennis?

Yeah, this is not helping.

Hello, Dennis?

Okay, I don't, I don't know. Do you understand? Is he not hearing me? Should I try it again? Okay, he's on. Yeah, could be. All right, anyway, he got it right. Okay, so, uh, huh, you think he knew? Okay, anyway, here it goes. So this is now the, uh, this is what he writes. I was wrong. Even worse, I was uninformed, ignorant, and harm-inducing. I recently led a piece. What does led mean? That wrote? That like to, uh, what's the word that we had earlier? Oh, essentialize.

Yeah.

Okay. Inside Higher Ed titled Why America Needs College Football. I am sorry for the hurt, sadness, frustration, fatigue, exhaustion, and pain this article has caused anyone, but specifically Black students, capitalized B, in the higher education community and beyond. I am struggling to find the words to communicate the deep ache for the damage I have done. I don't want to write anything that further deepens the pain experienced by my ignorance related to Black capital B male athletes and the Black capital B community at any time, but especially in light of the national racial unrest. I also don't want to write anything that suggests that anti-racist learning is quick or easy This is the beginning of a very long process, one that started with learning about the empirical work related to Black college football athletes. I learned that I could have titled the piece, "Why America Needs Black Athletes." I learned that Black men putting their bodies on the line for my enjoyment is inspired and maintained by my uninformed and disconnected whiteness. Did you hear this, folks? This is a professor at Ohio State University, a groveling worm named Matthew Mayhew. It's a disgrace. It's a disgrace to the human mind what he wrote. Listen to this. Black men putting their bodies on the line for my enjoyment. Is inspired and maintained by my uninformed and disconnected whiteness. And as written in my previous article, positions student athletes as white property. So what happens when whites watch white athletes in hockey? Is it their whiteness? I don't quite understand it. It doesn't mean anything. Or white football players. Oh, you're asking unanswerables. I have learned that words like distraction and cheer erase the present painful moments within the nation and especially the Black community. Upon such beginnings of reflection, I have also learned that my love for Black athletes on the field doesn't translate into love within the larger community, that I have been dismissive of Black lives in moments not athletically celebrated. I have learned that I have taken pleasure in events that ask Black athletes to put their bodies on the line and take physical risks. I have been entertained by Black men who often are conditioned by society and structural racism in ways that lure them into athletics where the odds of making it are slim to none. I am learning that I am not as knowledgeable as I thought I was, not as anti-racist as I thought I was, not as careful as I thought I was. For all of these, I sincerely apologize. It's exactly like the Yom Kippur prayer. And for all of these, pardon me, forgive me, I know it's not anyone's job to forgive me, but I ask for it. Another burden of a white person haunted by his ignorance. To consider the possible hurt I have played a role in, the scores of others whose pain I don't fully see, aches inside me, a feeling different and deeper than the tears and emotions I've experienced being caught in an ignorant racist moment. To all communities of color, and especially the Black community, capital B, I am sorry for causing pain by ignoring yours. I really hate the idea of hurting anyone. I hate that I have done this. If I had not ignored the pain of so many, this article would never have been written. This is the state of America under the left.

Hello, Dennis, how are you?

Well, this is a reverse, and it's a real pleasure, uh, I, I must tell you. You know, you, you begin the book, uh, so, so correctly, it's, it's actually painful. We are in the fight of our lives. It is a fight between good and evil and a fight between truth and lies. That's really right. I mean, uh, every day we witness this. Do you live in New York?

Um, I live right outside of New York. I live in Westchester County, but I'm in New York all the time. My radio show's in New York, my show's in New York. And, you know, it is just a, it is a sad, sad thing to see compared to what it was pre-pandemic.

Well, pre-lockdown. I think we all have to start using the really correct language. There have been pandemics before, but there haven't been lockdowns before.

Yeah, and you know, and I talk about that in the book. I talk about the lockdown and the fact that a lot of it was based upon Neil Ferguson, who you may, And Dennis, I mean, you're smarter, smarter than I am, but the lockdown was based on Neil Ferguson's analysis and model.

Millions.

And he's the one who said, you know what, with the mad cow disease, we've got to kill all the cows and all the sheep in the UK. Meanwhile, everybody starts killing their animals and then they were like, oh, never mind, that we weren't— that wasn't quite accurate. And we listened to this bozo. I go through all that in the book. But you see what it almost doesn't matter. Whether the models were correct. What matters is the interpretation and the consequence of what they saw as a, I think many of them, an opportunity to exercise a study or do a petri dish of socialism. And you know, where they give you just a little pittance, just enough, they allow you to go to the grocery store, lock you in your basement, keep you afraid, you know, the masks the fear factor. And every day we listen to see if, you know, is this gonna be okay? And then, you know, they wanna open the borders and then, you know, defund the police and take away our guns. I mean, if that isn't a setting for socialism, I don't know what is. That's just sad commentary. And now the president gets it. He gets COVID and he is a metaphor for how this country should react to a COVID. Like he is wanting to keep the country open, fighting it, he's doing the same thing himself. Wait, and he's signing what? He's signing bills and he's, he's out there concerned about the people who are worried about him, the economy, the stimulus, what's going to work. It is, it is just such a binary choice right now, Dennis.

That's correct. So let me review. I want people to understand the, the depth of this book because the table of contents will help you. A Man for the Season— that is about the president. Bunker Biden— obviously that's correct. Fake News Goes Viral. The Liberal Lockdown. A Swamp of Lies. Defend the Police. Escape from New York. Bozo de Blasio, Congress doesn't care about you, the open borders lie, Commander-in-Chief, and closing statement. Any one of them is a threat to the future of this country. All of them. Are you worried?

You cut out on me. Any one of them. And then I didn't hear—

no, no, no. And any one of them endangers the country. Are you worried?

Oh, I am worried. I am so worried. And you know, everyone says the same thing. You know, they tell us it's the most important election of our lives, but this one really is because they have already sampled what they're going to do to us. They have lied to us. They have tried to convince us that if we go outside, that we're probably going to get this, this COVID and we're probably going to die from it. And you know, the businesses, as if it weren't bad enough that we couldn't reopen our businesses, think about Dennis, they don't allow you to reopen your business, but they'll allow you to buy booze and alcohol and weed. And then they don't allow you to go to church. Are you kidding me? We're a nation founded on Judeo-Christian ethics, and you don't want us to go to church? And then they fine you, or they fine the pastor. This is lunacy. This is socialism and communism. Them, and it's a test case. And as they do that, what they're trying to do is tell you, look, we'll give you just enough money, you'll be fine, and you don't need your business. And by the way, if you try to go back to business, we'll arrest you, we'll put you in jail, or we'll take away your license. And then, just to make sure we don't go back to business, then the protest.

Donald Trump apparently is upset with the FBI director for suggesting that Russia is again meddling in the election in favor of him, in favor of Trump. Media's going crazy over Donald Trump disagreeing with the FBI. Donald Trump disagreeing with what the FBI said about the degree to which the Russians are interfering in the election. The biggest interferer in the election by far are you guys. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, New York Times, LA Times, virtually every major big city newspaper, left-wing. NPR, left-wing. PBS, left-wing. Virtually every political science department of every university in this country—big, small, east, west, north, south, public, private—with some exceptions—left-wing. Why do you suppose the majority of Democrats believe that Russia interfered with vote tallies even though there's zero evidence of this? And the answer is, after giving a steady—after being given a steady diet that Donald Trump is a racist, Donald Trump is a fascist, Donald Trump is Hitler, Donald Trump is incompetent. Donald Trump is lazy. Donald Trump is a grifter. Donald Trump only ran because he wanted to kill Americans and enrich himself. After you're getting a steady diet of this, you have to say to yourself, how could any rational person go into a voting booth or fill out a mail-in ballot and put this guy's name down? How could anybody do that?

The Democrat Party, as America is still, still recovering from the largest self-imposed economic shutdown in modern history. You know what Nancy's doing with the Democrats? They had a vote yesterday. On making sure that certain phrases should not be used to describe the Chinese virus. This is from The Blaze, Chris Pandolfo. The Democrat majority in the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution Thursday night condemning— condemning what? The shooting of two deputies in Compton, Los Angeles. The $2 billion worth, the $2 billion worth of damage and looting done to America by Democrat voters? No. To condemn the phrase China virus and other terms used to describe COVID-19 as a form of, quote, anti-Asian sentiment.

Yes, indeed. By the way, Judge Jeanine, whose book is up at my website, Don't Lie to Me and Stop Trying to Steal Our Freedom, is a perfect reminder about my asking you to help ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom. I make appeals for very few groups. They have earned it. They supply the lawyers for free in the liberty cases like religious liberty that go to the Supreme Court. They can only do it because people like you and me support them. There's an ADF banner at DennisPrager.com or call 855-649-2020. 855-649-2020, the banner at DennisPrager.com. They are fighters. We got to help the fighters. Judge Jeanine, back to you and to your book here. So we were talking about the terrific contents in your book. Do you think it— yeah, go. Or you want to say something? Fine. Otherwise, I have a question. No, you go. Okay, all right, fine. So I'm curious, uh, I, I actually have relatives who live in your area who are, who are not leftists, who are what I call liberals, but they're voting for Joe Biden. And as one of them, who's a very bright man, said to me, well, you know, But Biden's not a, not a big lefty, so I can vote for him. So I gave up. I, I didn't— I didn't— I don't like to argue with relatives. And so, but I would like you to respond.

Well, look, you know, Joe Biden, uh, has a history of 47 years, uh, in, in government. And I guess the first question I would ask ask your relative is, what has he done for him in 47 years? Let's start there, as opposed to what the president's done in 47 months, uh, or 46, whatever it may be. But even more than that, Joe Biden is incapable of answering questions. He's incapable of conducting a real campaign. He's not doing it, someone else is. He's nothing more than a Trojan horse for the left. And what, you know, the only thing that I can comment on with Joe Biden's history is that his family is akin to a crime family where his son with no experience at all went through Europe with a vacuum cleaner sucking up money from Ukraine with no experience in the business because his father was the energy, energy point man in the administration. And then a billion and a half from China and then $3.5 million from the mayor of Moscow his wife, uh, and then his brother's got government contracts to build homes in Saudi Arabia. You want to tell me what he's done for you other than what he's done for his family? And then you look at Donald Trump, who spent the last 3 years and 10 months doing nothing but taking incoming attempts to impeach and still fighting for us. And, you know, Dennis, before my show on Saturday night, I got a call from the White House switchboard asking me if I could take a call from the president. And yet I knew he was at Walter Reed. And I said, well, sure. And they said, you know, because, Jeanine, the president is on. And the first thing I said to him was, don't waste a breath on me. I want you to get better. And he said to me, Jeanine, I want you to tell Americans on your show how much I appreciate the show of support, the prayers, the messages, the people outside the hospital. And as he was telling me this, I couldn't help but think, this poor guy has got nothing but incoming every day. And he continues to fight and he wants people to know how much he appreciates what they're doing for him. And then he starts talking about the economy with me. And I said, Mr. President, save your energy. He said, no, Jeanine, 7.9% unemployment. They said it would be 42%. This is a fighter that you want. And Donald Trump is the metaphor for the nation. We have something, we have a COVID, a coronavirus from Wuhan, China. And right now the country is trying to, you know, it's having a back and forth. Should we open? Shouldn't we open? Bill de Blasio in New York City wants to close it again according to zip code. No, you confront it head on and you go back to work. We do not run this country as though we're scared like Joe Biden and locked up in a basement.

This is, this has been from the beginning, and I wrote from the beginning about this. It's been fascinating. How overwhelmingly— not all, but overwhelmingly— conservatives have said this is part of life, you cannot close a society because there is a virus. And overwhelmingly, the left has said you close society and you close schools and you shut down tens of thousands of businesses, permanently ruining the livelihoods of billions of people because there's a virus. It shows, if anybody— I don't care what side you're on— it shows the, what I call the Grand Canyon-sized gulf between left and right, just in the reaction. I didn't know what you would say about the virus, but it's exactly what I believe. You confront it and you move on.

Yeah, and, and, you know, but to me, they're using a virus as, as a ruse, as an excuse to cause people to be afraid, to lock them down, to defund police. You know, one of the things, Dennis, that I, that I talk about is, is the fact that this country is born of a revolution. We are fighters. It's in our DNA. It's who we are. And, you know, the whole idea that we're going to buckle to a virus when the truth is we've got to survive. And look, I started one of the first domestic violence units, if not the first in the nation. The last thing we need are shutdowns where families are locked in together under all of these circumstances when we can open safely. We're adults, we know what we need to do.

You know what issues you have.

Working, and it's, it's breaking up here without representation. So, you know, they want to tax us and not provide police peace, and they don't want to protect us, and they want to scare us. Can't happen.

All right, you're an asset to this country, my friends. Her book is Don't Lie to Me and Stop Trying to Steal Our Freedom, which pretty much summarizes what we're asking exactly. Yeah, or to put it another way, leave us alone, right? I mean, isn't that— isn't that it?

We have a full life together. Leave us alone. Yes, that's right.

That's exactly right. Well, I always— I just love talking to you, whether it's you on my show or mine on yours. Good luck. And vice versa.

Dennis, thank you so much. You're very welcome.

Fast forward to July 24th, 2019. Mueller testifies before the House and the Senate. He has issued his report, failed to find collusion. Democrats are not really willing to accept his verdict and just give up. They still want to impeach the president based on Russia, but they think they'll need a big Watergate-style moment. They'll need a hearing that's televised all around the country and the world, and Robert Mueller will stand up in the House and he'll deliver a damning indictment of Donald Trump, and then the whole country will be in favor of removing the president. So it's a disaster, and the disaster is basically Mueller's performance. He seems confused at times. He seems unable to handle some very basic questions at times. Unable to—

Excuse me, for the timeline, Byron, I mean, this is after a long investigation. Exactly. Which itself, you know, Sean Hannity every night was giving us the same information about these people whom he has hired cannot, should not be trusted. Turns out that that was correct. Now finally, he turns this thing in. I mean, but it's just an agony for the American people. It goes on and on and on. It's a big nothing. And then they decide to have the hearing.

Right. So Mueller seems to be unable to deal with this. He seems to have suffered some sort of cognitive decline. And the interesting thing is everybody notices it, everybody says it, but it wasn't a surprise to the Trump people. Keep up with what's trending.

This is monumentally newsworthy that they have connections. Pro-communist China organizations that have been around for 50 years are connected to Black Lives Matter, the founders of Black Lives Matter. Why would a pro-communist China organization have anything to do with a movement that's about justice and stopping police brutality? Can you explain that, Mike Gonzalez?

Well, as you know, because you know this and you have to explain it though, which is Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors and Nepal Tameti have Marxist plans. For the US. They would— they think that capitalism— that in capitalism— what is capitalism? Capitalism is private ownership, right? I own something which I bought with the sweat of my brow. You want to buy it, we both agree on a price, we both walk away happy. We're individually— so freedom, it's another word for freedom. They think that produces inequality, exploitation, right?

So since Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. Jake in Sacramento, California. Hello. How you doing, Dennis? Good, thank you.

Good to talk with you. Thank you. Hey, uh, that letter was one of the— that the college football professor wrote, uh, One of the best examples of satire I've heard in a while. Excellent. Yeah, you might have missed it, but that was so over the top. He's trying to say that he wants to not do it, that they've asked him to apologize.

Well, yeah, oops, sorry, one second. I, by accident, let you go.

Go on, yeah. Yes, he wrote a great satirical letter, and you should get him on the air.

Right, I agree. I want to get him on the air. He would never come on. It's not even an issue. Uh, but I, uh, all of these people are— there's a standing invitation to anybody that I object to to come on. They don't come on. The people on the left— this guy's a liberal. I mean, I don't even know if he's a leftist, but it doesn't matter. The groveling is— what you need to do is be frightened. I promise you, this is the American future if the Democrats take over. Public recantations of views will become normative, just like under Mao. The guy writes an article for Inside Higher Ed about how good college football is for the country and then writes an abject apology. And do you know what it is about? That whites are watching blacks bang each other up on the ball field. I mean, it's, it's, it's like a— it's, it's, it's pathetic. It's sick. The whole thing is sick. Whiteness. My whiteness is enjoying it. I mean, that's what he actually wrote. His whiteness. Black men putting their bodies on the line for my enjoyment is inspired and maintained by my uninformed and disconnected whiteness. This is a professor at Ohio State University in the department of stupidity called Department of Education. Whenever I hear a person has a PhD in education, I assume they do not think clearly. I make worse assumptions, but I'll leave it at that. This is— it's just beyond belief, the abject Apology. No one should ever put their bodies on the line for entertainment. To be clear, football places Black bodies at disproportional risk. So you see, now he doesn't want college football. So you know what? Believe me, whites would be thrilled to play more often in college football, but if they did that, they would be racist because they're taking away positions of of prestige from Blacks. So if Blacks play, you're a racist. If Blacks don't play, you're a racist.

Private ownership of property. Free markets. Right.

They even blame the patriarchal family on this. This is the patriarchal family family was created for this.

Well, let's, let's just stop here for a second. The Black Lives Matter website states that one of their missions is to target and dismantle the traditional nuclear family, right? Right. Which is straight out of the '70s and '60s, isn't it? I mean, that's Weather Underground, that's SDS, Smash Monogamy. These are old, old objectives, Mike.

It's even older than that. It goes back to the manifesto. It goes back to Engels. Right. Engels had a big thing with the family, uh, which he got from an American, uh, anthropologist whose theories on this matter have been debunked.

The family is bad.

Yeah, the family's bad.

The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now thrown a curve, a neutron bomb into an already volatile race. Knowing President Trump, he's going to want to nominate somebody right now. Mitch McConnell earlier also said that in the event that there is a death, he would quickly try to move to replace him or her. There is a death, and I'm assuming now that the White House is doing just that. By the way, according to The Atlantic, days before she died, Ruth Bader Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter, and it read, and I'm quoting, "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed," end of quote. I'm assuming that new president would not be the same old president we have right now, Donald Trump. So she was hoping beyond hope that her replacement would not take place until after the election, after the election, assuming Joe Biden wins. Well, that did not happen. The president controls the White House until at least the third week of January, and Republicans control the Senate at least until January 3rd. And there are more Republican seats that are being have to be defended than there are Democrat seats in the House— in the Senate, rather, giving the Democrats a lot of confidence that they could ultimately take the Senate, in which case even more important for President Trump and Mitch McConnell to take advantage of their power right now, nominate and then confirm somebody to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Well, the, the negative narrative that we keep hearing about America, I mean, you, you and I both know that the Democratic Party has gone crazy. I think Trump drove them to it and they are just at lightning speed going leftward, unable to control their own people. What do you think is happening in the mind of somebody like a Nancy Pelosi? Because she may have harbored some of these thoughts about America over the decades, but to see that part of the party take control of the entire party, what do you suppose is going through the mind of an old hand like Nancy Pelosi? Well, I've known the speaker for a while, and my opinion in— I could be wrong— is that she doesn't believe in anything. She has no belief system. She wants power. She has power. She wants to keep her power. I think that is true for politicians on both sides of the aisle. Not all of them, but many of them. They don't have any belief system whatsoever. I mean, certainly Joe Biden doesn't have any because he's basically contradicted himself in his votes on just about every issue. Issue, including abortion, which is pretty tough to do. Yeah, I mean, you either believe in life or you don't. But anyway, um, the far left has made tremendous inroads in America because the media, which once opposed it, does not any longer, enables it and sometimes encourages it. So therefore, you can have a political convention by the Democrats that doesn't even mention the rioting and looting and violence in the streets of America. It doesn't even mention it. That's incomprehensible. And in the past, you would have a press going, what's wrong with you?

Now again, not trying to be a jerk here, not trying to be the, the male version of Karen Hello everybody, Dennis Prager here.

Dennis Prager here. If you missed my last hour on the, uh, the professor of education at Ohio State who wrote an abject apology for saying that America needs college football and he didn't realize how racist he was because it's whites watching blacks hurt each other. That's what football is. Black bodies at disproportional risk. So his whiteness was involved in his column. You know what this proves, by the way? It's another example of the proof that I give about how little racist America is, is that they have to make these things up. This is all made up. Do you realize almost everything happening is all based on lies? You realize that? The odds are George Floyd was not murdered by the police, and that was the initial reason for the protests and the riots. And this— all of the cases, or virtually every case, we don't have a case of murder, let alone racist murder, of— by police. So all of that is lies. The whole thing that America is racist, systemically racist, is a lie. That's why they have to do this. If you watch blacks play football, your whiteness is watching it. Then there's the latest hoax. Why are there so many hoaxes? If America's so racist, why do you need to have so many hoaxes? Let me read you the latest, uh, this latest hoax here. Let's see, it was this in— no, that was in Memphis. Authorities— this is from the Washington Free Beacon, October 2— authorities close investigation into Wisconsin hate crime, say no evidence it occurred. Alleged hate crimes earned national headlines and was showcased by the NFL. Authorities closed an investigation into it. Oh, by the way, is this being reported in the mainstream media that they they've stopped investigating? Did the mainstream media report that it happened? Authorities closed an investigation into an alleged Wisconsin hate crime on June 24th, saying they failed to find any evidence that 18-year-old Althea Bernstein was the victim of a racist arson attack, as she claimed. Bernstein made national attention on June 24th, alleging that 4 white men in Madison lit her on fire, leaving her with burns on her neck and face. The men, she said, had directed a racial slur at her before throwing lighter fluid on her face. The incident was covered by national outlets from CNN to NBC. But federal authorities now say they were unable to corroborate the details of her claims. That is what we call an understatement. After reviewing all available evidence, authorities could not establish that the attack as alleged by the complainant has occurred, U.S. Attorney Scott Blader said in a Friday statement. Statement from Madison's chief of police stated, quote, detectives were unable to corroborate or locate evidence consistent with what was reported, unquote. Quote. In other words, she made it all up. In a statement released by police, Bernstein and her family say they, quote, appreciate the detailed investigative efforts by all involved in this case. We live in a make-believe world. If it happened to her, wouldn't she be angry? Why would you appreciate the police saying you're a goddamn liar? Excuse me for the language, folks. I don't find that offensive. Some of you do. If God does damn anything, he damns the liars who ruin countries. So I don't find the term always objectionable, but if you do, I apologize. Wouldn't she say that? Wouldn't she say, what's wrong with these people? I was burned by racists, instead of we appreciate the detailed investigative efforts by all involved in this case? In addition to earning national headlines, Bernstein was interviewed on ABC's Good Morning America, included in a floor speech. You hear this? You hear this, folks? Just understand the attention this liar got. ABC's Good Morning America, a floor speech by Representative Joe Kennedy III, Democrat, Massachusetts, received a phone call from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Does anybody take them seriously? Wow. I feel sorry for Queen Elizabeth. She was also included in the NFL's list of victims of systemic racism, victims of police brutality, and social justice heroes. Well, the NFL's list, I mean, you know, it's like, uh comes down from Sinai. And her name has been featured this season on the helmet of players such as Atlanta Falcons' Todd Gurley. Neither the NFL nor Kennedy responded to requests for comment on Friday's announcement. Neither CNN nor NBC News have reported on the findings of the investigation. Will she be punished? Is there any punishment? For smearing your country and, and making up a lie like this? Do you understand what the left has done? It has made lying about racism a, a beautiful thing. Why would people make up these lies? Because they, they think they'll get attention, and they will. It's a good country and the left is destroying it. Just, if that's not obvious to you, there's something wrong with you. Maybe a nice person. Nice people are not necessarily deep. Simon Wiesenthal Center demands that the Jewish Democratic Council of America pull an ad comparing Trump's America to Nazi Germany. Thank you, Simon Wiesenthal Center. Comparing the President of the United States to Hitler and Goebbels is beneath contempt. This is from the Simon Wiesenthal Center. You think the ADL has denounced it? The ADL is a joke, is a bad joke. The Anti-Defamation League. Only leftists take it seriously. Don't these people realize, aren't they deep enough to understand that in order to have clout, you have to be taken seriously? If you claim to be, if you claim that you're not a leftist, then, and then only act leftist, then you're not taken seriously. Simon Wiesenthal Center condemns antisemitism wherever it is. Comparing the President of the United States to Hitler and Goebbels is beneath contempt. That a Jewish group produced compounds, that a Jewish group produced it, I guess compounds the offense. For 75 years, Jews have emphasized the uniqueness of the Nazi savagery, racism, and genocide that mass murdered a third of our people and led tens of millions to death during World War II, said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Simon Wiesenthal Associate Dean and Global Social Action Director. Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are fair game for loud and sustained criticism on their policies, language, and style, but invoking of Nazi imagery not only slanders the victims of the Nazis the candidates, but the tens of millions of Americans who support him. In 2020, antisemitism from the far right, far left, and Islamists remains a real threat to American Jews. We need to demand of our candidates accountability on how they will combat it from all quarters, added Cooper. I wonder what the Democratic— Jewish Democratic Council of America will respond Probably not. Nothing. 1-800-PRAGER-776. Lucy in Los Angeles. Hello.

Another one, but I have to read to you from the competition across town, the Washington Post yesterday, quote, recent polls, two recent polls show Biden and Trump running about even among Latino voters in Florida while Clinton outpaced Trump by 27 points with the group 4 years ago. Now that's the Washington Post citing two polls. Then they said Democratic Party officials are worried about Latino votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. This may be the story no one was aware of until this week, and all of a sudden the president shows up in Nevada, does Latino roundtable in Nevada, in Arizona, and in California. David, I think we're on to something here.

Well, look, the president's competing hard for the Latino vote. I wrote about this maybe 10 days ago. They've been sort of enmeshed in these communities for a long time. I think to properly understand the competition for these votes is to understand that not all Latinos or Hispanics are the same. Out West, you've got Hispanic Latinos of Mexican descent, and they're going to be more liberal than Americans of Cuban descent. And I spent some time in South Florida in 2019 talking to Cuban Americans. And, you know, the president, from a policy perspective and a personality perspective, is a really good fit for the Cuban American vote. They kind of look at him as somebody who walks and talks like they do. Where the president is going to have a challenge is the increasingly large, and it is already large, population of Americans from Puerto Rico and Americans of Puerto Rican descent around Orlando.

As I mentioned, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died, 87 years old. CNN is reporting, AP is also reporting it, Fox is also reporting it. She was appointed by Bill Clinton, second woman to be appointed to the court. Been in and out of the hospital for several months. She's made it clear she's not a fan of Donald Trump, made it pretty clear she was trying to hold on until a Democrat president came along so that she would not be succeeded by someone who'd be nominated as a Republican. It's very unlikely anything's going to happen between now and the election, but it also raises the stakes of this election, doesn't it? We're only one vote away from losing the individual right to keep and bear arms, as well as other liberties. But this is a big one. Last time the Supreme Court weighed in on a gun case was the Heller case a few years ago. It was about whether or not a man had an individual right to keep and bear arms. There was a law in D.C. that said you could not have a firearm in your own home, and a security guard had a firearm. He challenged the law. Law. And the Supreme Court said that he was right, that this— the Second Amendment gave you an individual right to keep and bear arms, not a right as a member of a collective, but as an individual right. That was just a 5-4 decision.

So let me start with telling you that I have a master's in theology and a master's in clinical psychology and I graduated with honors. I'm not a stupid woman, um, and the stuff that's going on in Michigan would make your toes curl.

Oh, I know. I'm going to talk about your governor, but go on.

So on September 26th, I was mandated to take an exam. So I can— I just— I can practice. I can practice psychology. However, arbitrarily now we have to take, it's called the EPPP. It's a $700 test and you— most of these psychologists I know have failed it twice. So, wherever— and it's a doctorate-level test. I'm a master's level clinician. We are forced to take a doctorate-level test. We are the only— social workers have a master's level. Counselors have a master's level, but we are forced to take a doctorate level. To make matters worse, I went on the 26th, and I went in with my mask on. I am seated at a cubicle that is surrounded on 3 sides. So, I'm by myself in this cubicle. Closest person to me was probably 12 feet away. When a person is taking an exam or is under any type of duress, you tend to need more oxygen, not less, to breathe. So, I mean, this 4.5-hour exam that I paid $700 to take, that I studied— I am not kidding you, it was 6 to 7 hours a day for 4 months. And I was ready. I was not ready to have my glasses fog up. To be told by the proctor that I cannot take my mask off. I got up and went out into the foyer because I couldn't breathe, and I pulled my mask off. There was no person standing there but me. She walked up to me and said, "You need to keep that mask on." And I said, "Then I will go into the bathroom to take it off so I can breathe, but I need to breathe." Went back in, finished my exam. I scored a 411. I needed a 450. I contacted LARA, which is the licensing and regulatory affairs who implements this test or mandates it, and told them that I think that the testing conditions were horrific and that the scores should be lowered. I was denied. There is a march tomorrow in Lansing. There are going to be hundreds of psychologists there who have lost their license. Because of this exam. And bear in mind that these people could not even take the exam because of the lockdown. So if your license is due to expire and Michigan is not offering you the test to keep your licensure, you lose your license.

I'm quiet because I, well, I, I have nothing to add. It's, uh, it's an interesting phenomenon right now. I speak to young people. After all, I have kids myself. My grandkids aren't old enough. And that's to reflect on the condition of the society. So it's interesting. They're very troubled. But they don't have something that I have, which makes me more troubled. You know what that is? Why do you think my sons who agree with me on all these issues, thank God, and I mean thank God, why is it, why do I have a darker view of what's happening than they do? Aside from the fact that I know communism and the left, putting that aside, do you have an idea why? I'll tell you why, and you'll relate to it immediately. Because I know America when it wasn't like this. I was a kid during the '68-'69 pandemic, which killed almost the same amount of Americans proportionately. Nothing, nothing was locked down. The word wasn't— we didn't even know the word lockdown. And, and a lot more young people died from that, from what was called the Hong Kong flu, when you could still name flus after the place of origin. That's that, that the difference between a young person's unhappiness with what is happening, and mine is that I have something to compare it to. To have experienced America when it was free, when people could say anything they wanted, and not fear being fired from their work, not fear being disgraced by colleagues, when people— when reason prevailed and not panic, not irrationality. Do you realize that the most secular, best-educated generation is the least rational in American history? If you don't draw a conclusion from that that, then evidence means nothing to you.

Fast forward to July 24th, 2019. Mueller testifies before the House and the Senate. He has issued his report, failed to find collusion. Democrats are not really willing to accept his verdict and just give up. They still want to impeach the president based on Russia, but they think they'll need a big Watergate-style moment. They'll need a hearing that's televised all around the country and the world, and Robert Mueller will stand up in the House and he'll deliver deliver a damning indictment of Donald Trump, and then the whole country will be in favor of removing the president. So it's a disaster, and the disaster is basically Mueller's performance. He seems confused at times. He seems unable to handle some very basic questions at times.

Excuse me, for the timeline, Byron, I mean, this is after a long investigation. —exactly—which itself, you know, Sean Hannity every night was giving us the same information about these people whom he has hired cannot, should not be trusted. Turns out that that was correct. Now finally he turns this thing in. I mean, but it's just an agony for the American people. It goes on and on and on. It's a big nothing, and then they decide to have the hearing.

Right. So Mueller seems to be unable to deal with this. He seems to have suffered some sort of cognitive decline. And the interesting thing is everybody notices it. Everybody says it. But it wasn't a surprise to the Trump people.

This is monumentally newsworthy that they have connections. Pro-communist China organizations that have been around for 50 years are connected to Black Lives Matter. The founders of Black Lives Matter Why would a pro-communist China organization have anything to do with a movement that's about justice and stopping police brutality? Can you explain that, Mike Gonzalez?

Well, as you know, because you know this, are you able to explain it though? Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors and Nepal Tameti have Marxist plans. For the US. They think that capitalism, that in capitalism, what is capitalism? Capitalism is private ownership, right? I own something which I bought with the sweat of my brow. You wanna buy it, we both agree on a price, we both walk away happy. So freedom, it's another word for freedom. They think that produces inequality. Exploitation. Right, so since Marx and Engels, communists have had this big boogaboo with private ownership of property, free markets. They even blame the patriarchal family on this.

The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now thrown a Okay, everybody, Dennis Prager here.

Amazing when people talk about the president's lies and we are steeped in lies. Joe Biden's family has made millions of dollars because he was vice president and senator for all these years. And the president has lost millions of dollars in service to the country. It's just a fact. President has lost money while president. Joe Biden has gained money while vice president. Well, what are you gonna do? All right, Conroe, Texas, and Patrick, hello.

Clinton ran for president, conservatives, he would destroy the country. Two terms, the country was fine. Obama came in, Sean Hannity opened his show up every day, the radicals have taken over. Two terms, we're not Venezuela, the country is not destroyed. Now we got Joe Biden from a conservative safest Democrat you can probably ever hope for. And yet conservatives are running around like the Harrison fire as if we were trying to elect Hugo Chavez. So my question is this: what exactly is so catastrophic that you think Joe Biden won't do if he gets in the White House? Considering that an eventual Democrat president is all but inevitable, at some point, what's your predictions since it's going to happen anyway?

Okay, there was a little breakup, but I got the gist of your call. It's not a great connection. That's the only reason I'm letting you go. Joe Biden is irrelevant. Joe Biden, policy-wise, is indistinguishable from his vice presidential pick, Kamala Harris. So the question is answered by his vice presidential pick. She is the— there is nobody further to the left in the US Senate than Kamala Harris. And he picked her as his vice presidential running mate because they basically agree. Joe Biden has no principles. Joe Biden's not conservative. Joe Biden's not middle of the road. Joe Biden is not left. Leftist. I acknowledge Joe Biden personally is not a leftist. That is irrelevant. The history of tyranny is filled with moderates making way for the radicals because they're weak. That's what he is. Joe Biden has one interest: being president. He doesn't care about America. He doesn't care about leftism. He doesn't care about conservatism. He doesn't care Democratic Party. He cares about winning. For 47 years, the only thing the man has done is run for office. He is a nothing. That's why he was picked by Barack Obama. Barack Obama wanted a nothing. Somebody of accomplishment might have in some way shined in his own way. Joe Biden is whatever it takes to succeed in ingratiating himself with the powers that be. While he was president, the powers were the power. While he was vice president, the power was Barack Obama. He ingratiated himself with Barack Obama. He was indistinguishable from him, which is fine. Mr. Pence is indistinguishable from Mr. Trump. I fully understand that. And likewise, he's indistinguishable from Kamala Harris. When the Democratic Party was left of center but not leftist, he was left of center and not leftist. Now that it is leftist, he's a leftist. He is being used by the left to get the Democrats into the White House because the country would not vote for a Kamala Harris, would not vote for an Elizabeth Warren, would not vote for any of these leftists who ran against them, and certainly wouldn't vote for Bernie Sanders. That was the reason they were so excited. They love Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Party, but because Bernie Sanders is more honest than Joe Biden— I am a socialist— where he says Joe Biden denies he's a socialist, so therefore it's perfect. And that is my answer to your fine question. Okay, and let's go to— okay, well, very good. We'll take more calls in a moment. I just— I look at the country and the lockdown and New York City being crushed, and the Michigan governor just saying to the Michigan Supreme Court, screw you, which is their view. The left believes that nothing should stop it from prevailing. Not Supreme Court, not elections, nothing. We don't get the right person in the Supreme Court, we'll expand the number.

It's even older than that. It goes back to the manifesto. So it goes back to Engels. Engels had a big thing with the family, which he got from an American anthropologist whose theories on this matter have been debunked.

The family is bad.

Yeah, the family is bad.

The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now thrown a curve, a neutron bomb into an already volatile race. Knowing President Trump, he's going to want to nominate somebody right now. Mitch McConnell earlier also said that in the event that there is a death, he would quickly try to move to replace him or her. There is a death, and I'm assuming now that the White House is doing just that. By the way, according to The Atlantic, days before she died, Ruth Bader Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter, and it read, and I'm quoting, my most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president Hey everybody, Dennis Prager, and it is good to be with you.

Karen in Thousand Oaks, California, thank you for calling. Hi, good morning, Dennis. Hi.

Recently, you and I listened to you, you know, between, uh, talking about, uh, you know, hyping up, uh, hydroxychloroquine. I don't think you hear the stories about people being decent or indecent.

That's binary choice. So what's going on there?

Is there— I missed the question. I, I— you don't hear what? I, I missed question?

I'm sorry, I don't seem to hear you discussing or saying that there's only two types of people in the world—

decent or indecent. Oh, you don't hear me say—

you don't hear me say that anymore?

No, I think it went bye-bye because we—

I guess we'd have to change the definition of who's decent.

Oh, I totally believe that that's the biggest difference in the world. That's the reason I'm not a racist, because I don't divide the world between black and white. I divide it between decent and indecent.

So in that scheme of things, uh, with a person who thinks that Kim Jong-un is just, uh, somebody to fall in love with, and that Vladimir Putin and his crew didn't, uh, do what our agent— intelligence agency said they did, and that we believe Vladimir Putin over them, but then totally denigrate a war hero like John McCain, would that person be decent or indecent? Indecent.

Exactly. No, not exactly.

Well, exactly— does exactly mean enough evidence, or is exactly— what does exactly mean? It is— it was indecent to say what he did about John McCain. It was stupid to praise Kim Jong-un, but it doesn't bother me.

I fall in love with him.

He didn't fall in love.

That's what he said. He said he fell in love.

Okay, if he said that, I don't remember it. I trust you. Fine. It was stupid. No, look it up. That's why Google's great. So fine. We fell in love. Why is this— okay, so you— I believe that that is morally much less troubling than the appeasement of Barack Obama of the Iranian regime.

Oh, here we go.

Oh, we got to go to Barack Obama because he was, I guess—

all right, forget Barack Obama.

Obama. So don't forget about Obama. Then all of the Democrats who wish to kiss the feet of the despicable humans who run Iran. Okay.

You know, we always go to Iran. What about when we brought in— Wait, wait, wait.

You can go to what you want, but I can't go to what I want? I don't understand your rules of dialogue.

Okay, let's go here.

So Iran had a program that we were observing.

Now, who knows what they have? Because we can't absorb anymore, right?

The nuclear program. So we don't know, they might be ready to launch a few missiles, who knows, right?

Who do you think Iran wants as president, Trump or Biden? This is a test of your honesty. Okay, then I don't believe you. You have lost your credibility with me. I answered you. I said it was despicable to call John McCain what he did. I said it was stupid to say he fell in love, but you can't admit the most obvious fact on earth in world politics, that the Iranian regime pray to Allah on a daily basis that Joe Biden wins. That was an important revelation. You should self-examine on that, that you can't be honest with yourself and I can be honest with myself. All right, let's see here. Matt in the Poconos, where I went to camp in Pennsylvania.

Hello. Hey, how are you? Okay. Uh, I spoke to you a couple weeks ago. I was asking about my brothers and how to, how to approach them. Well, it didn't really work out, and I didn't really give it much of a try anymore after speaking to you. But my question for you is this, um, there's one quick question and then a second one. Do the one quick. I wanted Okay. I'll do it. I'll do the quick one. Um, wondering if you know how Jordan Peterson is doing. And then my real question for you is, uh, is there anything else that we could be doing? Um, you know, that, uh, you know, I mean, besides voting and donating money and stuff. Yes.

Yes. Okay. So Jordan Peterson there, I think you could watch on the internet. I did. He had an interview with his daughter, who was just a fantastic human being and fantastic a mouthpiece for him. She's sort of his press secretary and life organizer. She's, she's just terrific. And he's, he's had, uh, he's gone through hell in the last year or so. Just hell. He's such a good human being. He's a rare human being. He's one of, he's one of the people I most admire who's alive today. I wrote the foreword to his biography, or one of his biographies. I don't know if there's another biography. That's how much I care about him. I pray he returns to public life because we need him terribly. I don't know if he will. I pray he does. What else can you do? Send out, uh, articles that you read that are important to everybody you know. Go to keepamericaamerica.com for the— till the election. Contribute to ADF. Watch PragerU videos. Make sure young people do. Don't send your kids to school. Homeschool them. Don't watch any of the organized sports, at least not the NBA, the NFL, or Major League Baseball, which have been ruined by the left. And by the way, had there been right-wing messages of these sports, I would have opposed that too. One of the few places left where everybody could actually depoliticize. First they ruined late night comedy. Johnny Carson never politicized the late night comedy, nor did Jay Leno. They felt that their task was to have Americans go to bed at night with a smile on their face. The task now is to go to bed hating Republicans and the president. That's the task of late-night so-called comedy. So there's a lot you can do. I gave you about 6 ideas. We'll be back.

1-800-PRAGER-776. Uh, Duarte, California, and Abe. Hello, Abe. Hi, Dennis, thanks for taking my call.

Big fan. Uh, I just had a quick question because I'm very, I'm a very pro-Israeli and I have a lot of Armenian friends. I was just wondering, how can I address, because I didn't realize how closely allied or allies Israel is with Azerbaijan with the conflict going on right now.

Well, I don't know about Israel and the conflict right now between Azerbaijan and Armenia. I do know that they are, that there is a closeness. Between Azerbaijan and Israel. Azerbaijan is a Muslim country that has made massive outreach to Israel, which is dying to have good relations with the Muslim world. It is a top priority in their battle to exist. And that's the reason. It is nothing anti-Armenian in it whatsoever. If anything, the average Israeli has a tremendous, and the average Jew has a tremendous kinship to the Armenian people. I know I work every day and have for 20 years in the most Armenian city outside of Armenia, Glendale, California. And there's a tremendous kinship between Jews and Armenians because of their history of suffering. And one that obviously went at the hand of the Germans and one at the hand of the Turks. And the Turks are, of course, profoundly anti-Israel today. The world is a complex place. Every country looks out for itself and should, and absolutely should, without being immoral about it, whenever possible. But Israel's ties to Azerbaijan are due to Azerbaijan's outreach to Israel Israel as a Muslim country that has nothing to do, that predates the conflict with Armenia. So that fact, it is my understanding that many Israelis send their kids to college in Armenia. And that, that's, that's an interesting point to, to note as well. Let me summarize some of your calls here. Ty in San Antonio: Masks are part of a plan to suppress us. I, I don't think it's a plan to suppress us, but it is, it does, it is suppressive. When I think of kids who don't see, who are growing up without seeing any faces The, uh, people need to ask in every policy, what price are we paying and is it worth it? I'll see.
