The Dennis Prager Show LIVE

Mark Davis for sitting in for me yesterday as I winged my way across the country. And 19 years ago now was 9/11. It seems like, seems like another world, another generation. The unity among Americans at the time I'll never forget Nancy Pelosi, among others, singing God Bless America at the 9/11 site. And it moved me. I was happy to see it. I don't believe that unity is possible because left and right have completely different moral views of humanity and the world and America. But, uh, obviously I do believe one nation indivisible with liberty and justice, one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Anyway, it was 19 years ago. I was broadcasting, of course, and I remember saying how I couldn't imagine that tens of thousands had not been killed at the World Trade Center. It just didn't make sense to me. It was the beginning of the day. And I, I, I was wrong, thank God. Uh, there was a sound that remains etched in my mind. You know, like there are certain smells and certain sounds. We always think of sights that, you know, we'll never forget. Somehow sounds are, are more jarring even in some ways. The sound of the bodies hitting the ground when they threw themselves from the 80th story or even higher rather than be burned alive. Man goes to work, who's usually a man that day, and, uh, jumps out of the 80th floor. It's very hard to not get these images out of you. You could see picture of that too. That's also a picture that stays in your mind, the picture of the planes hitting the Twin Towers. The monsters in the name of Islam who did it. We have a video out this week at PragerU. Young, young man gives the video. I don't even know if he was born when, uh, I thought the point was that he, you know, he doesn't remember it. It was even more— he wasn't even born. So he's about— he's 18, I suspect. Yeah, we have an 18-year-old talk about 9/11. You should ask your high school or college kid, or anyone under 25, what happened on 9/11. Just ask that. It would be very interesting for you to hear their response. And I remember that out of the horror of the day, I felt such a great surge of patriotism among young people, people who today would be 45 years old. Or 40 years old, to be more precise. I suspect they were about 20 or even 16, so they'd be 36. Yeah, selling flags. I'll never forget, for $20 where I live, little flag, and I bought it. I wanted, I wanted kids to make money selling flags. They're hard to come by, an American flag, at that time. Gone from the age of kids, uh, selling flags and cheering with them to some— and I emphasize some— burning them. That's right, we're in an age of hyper change. It's the, the zeitgeist, the spirit of the times is constant change. I think it's a function of the boredom induced by affluence and secularism. There's a new moral vista to conquer. Or as my argument is, the moral vista to conquer is your own character. But it's a hell of a lot easier to say America stinks than that your own nature stinks. Right? A lot easier now? Yes. By the way, did I even say my name? I didn't? Here it goes. Hi, I'm Dennis Prager. Talking about Dennis Prager, next Friday night is the beginning of the Jewish New Year, and it's the holiest, two holiest days, Rosh Hashanah, New Year, and Yom Kippur. 10 days later. It is all— it is unbelievable that after 13 years of conducting spectacular services, I decided last year to have it professionally done. I don't remember if it was 3 or 4 cameras, 3 or 4 men. On 4K to be a record of a profoundly moving service that non-Jew will be as moved at as a Jew, not knowing this year would be a lockdown. So sure enough, from putting it up— go to dennisprager.com and click on the banner, Prager High Holy Days. It might be one of the most moving religious experiences of your life. There's no politics. It's not dated in any way. It'll be relevant 20 years from now in 4K. Put it on a big screen. It's as if you will be attending the holiest services, all explained. That's the point. I explain everything, but the music is extraordinary. Click on the banner. 250,000 at least people watched my Passover Seder, most non-Jewish. And, uh, this is— now this will be about 16 hours in total of the two holidays. It sounds— I mean, it's, it's a— you're living a world, you're entering a world. The banner is at DennisPrager.com. Well, the people are still mourning their dads, some moms, husbands, sons, brothers, friends, in the name of a religion. That's what's so amazing. The ability of human beings to do evil is unlimited. They do it in the name of a religion. They do it in the name of secularism. They do it in the name of equality. They do— it's always done in the name of something that could be a force for good, right? It's very rare. Only Hitler did it in the name of evil. The rest of the gang, the rest of the slaughter of human beings, was done in the name of what they perceived as good. I mean, Hitler perceived this thing as good, but race supremacy is just not good. I mean, there's no way around that. Welcome to the show. Fridays are the days of the Happiness Hour, and that, uh, I did the Happiness Hour that week. It was a Tuesday, if I'm not mistaken. So Friday I did the Happiness Hour. The happiness hour is being challenged in our time as well. It is a sort of a vow that I've taken that I just don't cancel the happiness hour. I will acknowledge that if the left wins the next election, I mean, the issue of Democratic Party is a euphemism for radical leftism. It will be hard to do the happiness hour. But it has to be done. Even if to say, this is just a time when you have to make peace with the fact that you are not happy. I do not live in a make-believe world. I live in the same world as you do, and I certainly do not make-believe about any of these things. Anyway, may they rest in peace. You should all see— what was the name of the flight? Flight 93? Is that the name of the movie? I'm sorry, that Flight 93 is an extraordinarily powerful film. I think you have a moral— I said at the time, you have a moral obligation to watch it to the people on the flight. I'm big into moral obligations, my religious upbringing. So I'm sure it's streamed somewhere. Flight 93. Yep, let's hear this. We need it. Phone number is 1-800-PRAGER-776.

This is Owen Strand for TownHall.com. The recent unveiling of the Republican agenda for a second term gave much encouragement to many who need it. Defeat COVID, create jobs, disentangle from China, provide school choice, teach American exceptionalism unapologetically, defend the police as an institution, oppose human trafficking. These and other measures offer sanity, flourishing, and hope to an embattled country. No agenda can cover every issue. Two outstanding issues need platforming, however: religious liberty and abortion. The Trump administration has taken stands on both of these momentous matters and to good effect. In days ahead, though, supporters of religious liberty and the unerasable humanity of the unborn need more support, not less. Religious liberty, after all, is for this gloriously free society the first freedom. Among other righteous ends, it enables a diverse coalition of many voices to speak on behalf of the unborn until the murderous abomination of abortion is a distant memory. I'm Owen Strickland.

Meanwhile, you have Joe Biden saying during an event at Grace Lutheran Church in, uh, in Wisconsin, quote, a Black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison. Close. You feel that guilty that Thomas Edison now, he needs to be taken down a few notches? Thomas Edison now needs to be canceled? Nobody's mad at Joe Biden for making this false statement, but you let Donald Trump pass along some statement that somebody else made, oh my goodness, Donald Trump peddling conspiracy theories. Joe Biden has lied for decades, decades about his civil rights record. When I was a teenager, 17, 18 years old, I would go to Black churches and we'd sit down and talk about how we're gonna move, organize to desegregate lunch counters and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware. No evidence whatsoever that he did that. And don't go by me, go by the New York Times. You know, New York Times, paper of record, the one that hasn't endorsed the Republican since 1956. That paper lied for decades, lied and said the NAACP has endorsed me every single race. NAACP puts out a statement, actually, we've never endorsed you at all because we're a 501(c)(3), we can't do that. Well, you know, I got arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela when he's imprisoned under apartheid South Africa. I was with Andy Young. Andy Young says, you kidding me? No, I didn't get arrested, and neither did Joe Biden. By the way, Joe Biden says he was in the streets of Soweto when he got arrested. That's 900 miles away from where Nelson Mandela was housed.

What do you make of the 4 debate moderators? We've got Chris Wallace, Steve Scully, Kristen Welker, and Susan Page for the vice presidents. What do you think?

Well, I think it's an interesting mix of people. Certainly, I think you've got some people, you know, seasoned journalists who have been around a long time like Chris Wallace. Susan Page, who have been kind of doing, you know, big moments and big stage for a while. And then you have kind of a newcomer in Kristen Welker. Steve Scully, obviously, having been around. But also, I think he— I like Steve being a moderator. He is certainly more of a news guy. So I think he's a good middle-of-the-road moderator. The rest, we'll see. The good news is I think Donald Trump is going to do spectacular regardless of who the moderator is. I think he actually tends to do better in an interview that is harder. I think it's when he really rises to the moment, and I feel very comfortable about where he'll be with that group of moderators.

Sarah, in speaking for myself, you draw the distinction between Rachel Maddow and Sean Huckabee.

Okay everybody, Dennis Prager here. People have gone out of their minds on the, uh, on the COVID Play the, uh, the health director of Los Angeles County, is that correct? Dr. Barbara Ferrer. Why we listen to these people? Of course, those of you who graduated, she's what? She's a PhD in gender studies. She's not even a doctor, really? Anyway, it's irrelevant to me if she's a doctor. All of a sudden, humanity has decided to give over its common sense to people who have an MD or PhD in epidemiology. We want their input, we don't want their decisions. Is that obvious? Same thing with the military. That's why the commander-in-chief is a civilian. But we have no leaders. You are taught at college not to think for yourself. Ask what the experts say. Most experts are fools because most human beings on big issues are fools. They could be very wise in personal issues. Human being is a complex creature. But macro wisdom is not available to many people because they don't pursue it. Let the experts do it. Oh, oh, what do the experts say? Then they're lying about that, by the way. Then you bring experts who differ. Oh, they're quacks. So it's all a lie. It's a gigantic, spectacular lie. Listen to the experts. Listen to the experts that agree with me. That's what Newsom says. That's what Garcetti says. You're not an expert unless you agree with me. So really, I'm the expert. Let's be honest. They claim, let's follow the experts, but they really say, follow me and I'll provide the expert I want. Let's hear this farce, this destructive farce coming from this Barbara Farrar.

Cases and outbreaks when we open even more.

Okay, let me— excuse me, we don't care about cases. Is that not obvious? We care about who is hurt. It shows you she's a moron, and not in every arena. She may be a genius in child rearing, a genius in law, a genius in whatever field she wants to be. She may be a genius mother and a genius wife. She's a fool and a moron in this matter. We don't care about cases. Is that not obvious? We care about who's hurt, who's hospitalized, and who dies. What difference does it make how many— wait, let me quote Hillary. What difference at this point?

What difference at this point does it make?

Exactly. I knew that phrase would be useful one day, and there it is. She was foreseeing and foretelling the future. Cases, cases. By the way, there's more evidence that asymptomatic people don't even transmit it. Are you— have you seen that? Yes. I mean, I'm not telling you this is a given. I just want you to know that I'm following that, that line, that the asymptomatic don't seem to transmit it, or near— not nearly as much as the symptomatic. Very interesting.

Yes, cases and outbreaks when we open, even for a relatively small number of people to be on campus. So we don't realistically anticipate that we would be moving to either Tier 2 or to reopening K-12 schools at least through at least until after the election, after, you know, in early November.

The election has an effect on, on the COVID as everybody knows.

It's, uh, you study that when you get your PhD, you know, in early November.

Like, when we just look at the time, of course it makes sense.

The more realistic projection to be to think that we're going to be where we are now until, uh, we get after—

until we, we are done with the election.

Yeah, I— because exactly, it makes perfect sense. Anyway, look, there, there is a bright side. I'm not kidding. It's— I'm not kidding at all. Schools, uh, in, in the Los Angeles district are propaganda mills. They, they have completely abandoned teaching for the most part, and you should just start homeschooling your kid. By the way, you can't even send your kid— you can't decide. This is what is amazing to me. You can't decide to send your child to a private school in most cases. This is mind-boggling. This is, this is a dress rehearsal for doing this all the time. Now the flu, by the way, I don't understand why it'll be— if that's flu season elections, we're entering flu season. People die. Kids really do die of the flu. They don't die of COVID but they do die of the flu. And then for the unsophisticated American mind, which is tragedy for me to say, I truly believe the American mind is more sophisticated 50 years ago. After 50 years of higher education and television, it's done its damage. As the, uh, the Chief of Health in the UK said, not having your kid go to school is much more damaging to them, uh, on a large— in a large number than having them— it's more damaging than COVID. That's what— that's the way he put it. The English-speaking countries have a, have a theory. This is theory number 85226 if you're keeping track of Prager's theories. The English-speaking countries have gone the craziest on COVID. UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, US. Here's a Canadian example. I read it to you. Cops hold a hysterical, quote unquote, hysterical family off a WestJet flight. WestJet is a Canadian airline from Calgary to Toronto. Notice I said Toronto, not Toronto, because their 19-month-old baby wasn't wearing a face mask. I watched the video and I'm embarrassed for Canada. Trouble is, I don't suspect most Canadians are embarrassed. Canada is as bad as America in terms of woke, woke, wokitude and control of human beings and suppression of free speech. It's actually a drop ahead of us. That's how Jordan Peterson came to fame. He didn't want to be told, uh, what pronoun he has to use. So one child, Safwan Chowdhury, says the airline wanted the infant to wear a mask, but the child would not stop crying. A spokesman for the airline confirmed to CBC that the flight on Tuesday evening was canceled. All passengers were ordered to disembark. WestJet said— have since said that the issue was not with the infant, who was below their age required to wear a face covering, but with the family's 3-year-old. Oh, now I understand.

Los Angeles County has notified Grace Community Church that it will soon be evicted from a parcel of land that it uses as a parking lot.

Why?

Yeah, it's, it's sort of the final act, uh, strategy on their part to shut us down as a church. Um, we, we did what everybody else did when COVID first came in. We didn't want people to die because of something we did, an insensitivity or anything like that. So when we heard there were going to be millions dying, we shut the church down. I went to an empty 3,000-seat auditorium and we did livestream. After about 4 or 5 weeks, our people began to realize that the pandemic wasn't what they were told it was. Slowly, they just started coming back. We didn't make an announcement. We didn't say anything official.

[Speaker:NICK] So just organically, you emptied your church, went to televisual services, and then they started coming back?

They started coming back in the dozens and then the hundreds, and in a few weeks there were 6,000, then there were 7,000.

And what, what is your average, um, group of people worshiping?

Yes, it's about 7,000 on a normal Sunday. So we had them filling up the place. We put up a tent in the parking lot, they filled that. We have a chapel, they filled that. We have a gym, they filled that. People just kept pouring back and they didn't buy the narrative. They absolutely didn't.

And then what happened? What happened with the authorities, Pastor MacArthur?

They sued us and we went to court 4 times and we won all 4 of those court hearings.

Trending now on the Mike Gallagher Show.

I know the governor here in Arizona, Doug Ducey, has been very thankful of that, to get that kind of authority to handle the response. Sounds like you might want a stronger federal, you know, response to this.

And do you trust the governors to handle what's best for their states?

Well, I hope you can trust the governors, but here's the deal. The federal government— there's a constitutional issue whether the federal government could issue such a mandate. I don't think constitutionally they could, so I wouldn't issue a mandate, but I plead with— I carry my mask with me everywhere I go. I'd set an example.

Did you— you heard that right? Because you know he did say he would issue a mandate. Derek, do we have that clip from weeks ago? First thing I do, executive order, mask mandate. Now he's walking it back. You know why he's walking it back? Because he's terrified of losing. The Democrats see what a lot of people see is very well coming. The machine is doing everything it can, but in 55 days, you and I get to make the decision. It's not going to be the campaign of Trump or Biden. It's not going to be NBC. It's not going to be the Drudge Report. It's not going to be Fox News. It's not going to be any of us in talk radio. It's not going to be any— it's going to be the American people going to the polls and deciding who's going to win this thing. 800-655-MIKE. Incidentally, I'm looking at images on my monitors as the president leaving from Joint Base Andrews, Andrews Air Force Base. The president off and running on the campaign trail. Joe Biden Zero public events scheduled. Guy wants to be president and on the day after Labor Day can't leave the basement.

Somebody touches it. And you're listening to the Dennis Prager Show. Let me continue this article here. WestJet, major airline in Canada. Family had— this family on board Obviously, um, I assume an immigrant family. Last name is Chowdhury.

So that would be—

is that Sri Lankan or Indian or neither? I'm just curious. It doesn't matter. So, uh, they, uh, they insisted that their 3-year-old wear a mask. This is Canadian law. It's the law here too. It's— the law borders on evil. It is way transcends stupid to completely destructive. We have morons running our society, folks, especially with regards to quote-unquote experts and the Democrats who listen to the experts, who genuflect before them, but only their experts. I remind you that Right, Viktor Zelensky cures thousands of people, or hundreds. He's not an expert. It's only the experts that they like. Canadian transportation law mandates anyone above the age of 2 to wear a face mask. Mr. Chowdhury claims that his 3-year-old daughter was eating a snack before takeoff When flight attendants approached and demanded that both children wear a mask, the other one was younger than her. The, uh, the younger one was 19 months old. Both he and his wife were wearing a mask, he said. Mr. Chowdhury asked if his daughter could finish eating before she put on her mask, but the flight official said they had a zero tolerance policy. I don't understand that. Do you? When you eat, you're allowed, right? I don't understand. And would not close the door of the aircraft without her wearing a mask. I've always found zero tolerance policies to be the policy of the fool. We're bathing in laws made by and enforced by fools. Not, not much hope for English-speaking world. The English-speaking world. The dad then agreed to put one on immediately, but said his youngest daughter became so agitated she vomited. He told the BBC, my younger one had a very difficult time. She was basically hysterical. Mr. Chowdhury claims that flight officials then became aggressive. And said the family would have to leave the aircraft if his daughter would not wear a mask. The family then eventually agreed to leave the aircraft. WestJet has disputed Mr. Chowdhury's claim that his 3-year-old put a mask on. You thought this is like from Babylon Bee, great satire site. In a statement given to the BBC, the airline said, due to non-compliance of the parents to place a mask on their older child who is now over the age of 2, our crew informed the adults of the regulations we are required to follow. I'm telling you, these non-thinking, uh, listeners to these laws— does the average Canadian support these laws? Does the average American? If so, there's little hope for our societies. If you actually believe that anyone 3 and over must wear a face mask or the health of the plane is endangered, you are a scary human being to me, which means that I am scared about the future of this country. This, this alone is a dividing line between the non-thinking and the thinking. A clip showed a masked police officer speaking to passengers on the plane as they are heckled. See that? Canadians on board heckled. Apparently they heckled the— who is it? The masked police officer. Oh good, God bless them. I know, I know that. One witness, Marian, told our CBC News she felt the response from the airline was unnecessary. She said, I was so shocked the parents never raised their voices. They never got angry with the attendants. They were just trying to reason with them. You can't reason with people who obey stupid laws. Don't you understand that this is why I fear for Canada and America? The Age of Reason has produced more irrationality than Canada or America at their most religious. Get it? It's one of the reasons I'm religious, because I love reason. And now, ladies and gentlemen, Relief Factor, which you probably need. I do mean that. You probably literally need it. I don't mean it because you're upset. I mean because you probably have back pain, knee pain, leg pain, thigh pain. Joint pain, finger pain. I mean, there's a lot of places to have pain, and Relief Factor is— it's almost a miracle supplement. I won't say drug because it's drug-free. Here's the beauty: you try it for 3 weeks, see if it works. They tell you the following: if it doesn't work in 3 weeks, It probably won't work. So what are you out? $19.95 plus shipping. I think it's worth trying. The majority of people who, uh, actually try it, it does work for, and then they order it.

Okay, y'all, I'm Dennis Prager. I'm actually looking at myself now. Not always a treat. How many people like looking at themselves? What percentage of Americans look in the mirror and go, wow, that is one terrific sight? It's an interesting question, isn't it? What, what, what, what do you think the answer is, roughly? I, I would say, I, I would say 5%. Oh wow. All right. And they're all male. All righty everybody, we return. So here's my theory. Why is Canada Why are— oh, Australia is awful. Just Australia is beyond belief. What was the latest arrest of the pregnant woman? A pregnant woman in Victoria. There, you know, there are states in Australia like here. Victoria is where Melbourne is. What, uh, what was her offense? I forgot. She was out of the house or something. I mean, you see Every totalitarian, every dictatorship, every totalitarian regime, every dictatorship, it's in the name of something. So the traditional left-wing totalitarianism has been in the name of equality, the name of workers. Oh, she was promoting— oh right, on Facebook she promoted an anti— so she had no free speech. The woman was handcuffed. The pregnant woman was handcuffed because she was promoting an anti-lockdown Facebook page, uh, in, in Australia. New Zealand has been in an incredible lockdown. Uh, they had what, 4 cases and went back to lockdown, I believe. And the, uh, the United States and Canada— I don't, I don't have to tell you this— this, uh, 3-year-olds have to wear masks, which makes basically— which makes traveling impossible with children. I mean, let's be honest, what 3-year-old is going to wear a mask? So, and why should they? I mean, it's beyond belief. And schools locked down. And where I live, you still can't enter a restaurant where I live, which is the Los Angeles area. Amazing. I was just yesterday, uh, for the last 3 days in Michigan. Michigan is governed by a Democrat, but you can eat in restaurants. Same in Minnesota. Exactly. Same in Illinois. I, I, I was in Illinois and Michigan in the last month. You were just in Minnesota this week. Newsom and Garcetti are petty men with a lot of power. That's the worst combination you could have— mediocrities with power. This is it. And they, uh, they— that they crush lives doesn't mean anything because— and this is my whole point— there's a new totalitarian slash dictatorial excuse, health. What the traditional dictatorships were with regard to workers, equality, in the case of Hitler, race, the Aryan race, and there was, there's always, in other words, it's always done in the name of something. This is now— and I predicted this, I called it Health Uberolus, remember? I've been saying it. I know, I believe— I don't think many of you took me too totally seriously on that. Now I think you do, but I do, I do tend to see patterns. It's my gift, or a gift that I have. I don't take credit for it, but it is a gift that I have. And I saw this coming along a long time ago. Health Uber Alles. Just say health, you could do anything you want. So wait, so my theory, why English-speaking countries? You have an idea what my theory is? But you know, one of the rare times I don't think you could predict it. Because unlike Europe, they didn't have suffering. On their soil. That's why the Europeans aren't doing this. I'd like to know if a 3-year-old needs a mask on Air France, and that's a left-wing government.

Macron.

No, in our terms, hey, look, it's not a right-wing government, let's put it that way. Anyway, take a look. Would you be very interested to see what the laws are in those countries and how much they're enforced on the age of masks on airplanes? I mean, if they all have 3-year-old laws, then my theory is kaput. I fully acknowledge that. But my— I know that those societies are far more open than the United States. There are no masks basically in Holland, no masks basically in Sweden. Just to give two examples. And the, the schools are open. I, I wonder how many European countries the schools are not open. Like, are the schools open in Canada? I assume they're not open in at least Victoria in Australia. Anyway, that is my theory. The Europeans have endured horrible suffering on their soil. The English-speaking countries have not, right? Australia hasn't, New Zealand hasn't, the US hasn't, and Canada hasn't. That to the extent that there was fighting on their soil, it's so long ago as to be irrelevant. But the Europeans know real suffering. Sort of inoculated. 1-8-Prager-776-877-243-7776. Interesting. All right, 1-8-PS. So what's on your mind? We got the one segment before The ultimate— excuse me— for the happiness hour. So, if you've got reactions, I'll hear them.

Meanwhile, you have Joe Biden saying during an event at Grace Lutheran Church in, uh, in Wisconsin, quote, a black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison. Close. You feel that guilty that Thomas Edison now, he needs to be taken down a few notches? Thomas Edison now needs to be canceled? Nobody's mad at Joe Biden for making this false statement, but you let Donald Trump pass along some statement that somebody else made, oh my goodness, Donald Trump peddling conspiracy theories. Joe Biden has lied for decades, decades about his civil rights record. When I was a teenager, 17, 18 years old, I would go to Black churches and we'd sit down and talk about how we're gonna move, organize to desegregate lunch counters and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware. No evidence whatsoever that he did that. And don't go by me, go by New York Times. You know, New York Times, paper of record, the one that hasn't endorsed a Republican since 1956. That paper lied for decades, lied and said the NAACP has endorsed me every single race. NAACP puts out a statement, actually, we've never endorsed you at all because we're a 501(c)(3), we can't do that. Well, you know, I, I got arrested trying to, trying to visit Nelson Mandela when he's imprisoned under apartheid South Africa. I was with Andy Young. Andy Young says, you kidding me? No, I didn't get arrested, and neither did Joe Biden. By the way, Joe Biden says he was in the streets of Soweto when he got arrested. That's 900 miles away from where Nelson Mandela was housed.

Okay, all Dennis Prager here, Newberry, South Carolina. Mark, hello.

Hi, how you doing today?

Um, okay.

All right. Uh, I, you know, as far as the flight goes with the mask and the kid, obviously—

wait, wait, wait, that's not what you called in for. You got to stick to your topic.

No, no, that's ridiculous. However, I'm talking about another flight, the flight that my cousin was on and his wife on 9/11. It was the first flight that hit the Twin Towers. And this cousin was a little— he was significantly older than me, and he was my hero. He was the creator of the show Frasier, and he used to write, produce for Cheers. And just like that, on that day, just gone, along with thousands of others. But this is a very emotional day for us and our family.

That's why I took your call. I wanted, I wanted the real to be heard. It's a horrible statement attributed to Stalin: one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic. So I wanted to give face to the tragedy with somebody who knew somebody on the plane. To think that your religion demands— that the God you believe in demands that you slaughter people who have done no harm, uh, is because they believe differently. This is really, uh, this is the worst form of religion, this, this, this belief. Listen, it existed in the West plenty. It doesn't exist now. Just think of how many Catholics were slaughtered by Protestants and Protestants by Catholics. In my Bible commentary, I make it so clear that God does not want people Even pagans killed for believing in paganism. It's just— it's so contrary to basic biblical morality that you kill somebody because they believe wrong, or you believe they believe wrong. That's why I am an ethical monotheist. God's greatest demand is that we be ethical. Otherwise, what's the use? Ethics need God, and God has to demand ethics. It's the only possible way out of the awful human condition.

Listen, I'd like to know, what will your administration do to help them give them that chance? Thank you.

I'm not kidding you here. There's no way you'd go into the voting booth and say, that's my guy. There's no way. Yet there were thousands of people in Winston-Salem yesterday. There were people, you know, lining the streets of Jupiter, Florida. Did you hear the crowd chanting? How about the crowd chants?

What do you make of the 4 debate moderators? We've got Chris Wallace, Steve Scully, Kristen Welker, and Susan Page for the vice presidents. What do you think?

Well, I think it's an interesting mix of people. Certainly, I think you've got some people, you know, seasoned journalists who have been around a long time like Chris Wallace. Dennis Prager, Susan Page, who have been kind of doing, you know, big moments and big stage for a while. And then you have kind of a newcomer in Kristen Welker. Steve Scully, obviously, having been around. But also, I think he— I like Steve being a moderator. He is certainly more of a news guy. I think he's a good middle-of-the-road moderator. The rest, we'll see. The good news is I think Donald Trump is going to do spectacular regardless of who the moderator is. He actually tends to do better in an interview that is harder. I think it's when he really rises to the moment, and I feel very comfortable about where he'll be with that group of moderators.

Now, Sarah, in speaking for myself, you draw the distinction between Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity on one side, and on the other side, news journalists. Do you put Chris and Kristen in that category? Scully really is— it's hard to argue that Steve Scully's other than a news guy. He's the most straight-up guy in town. But what about the other two?

I think they both have certainly some leaning and some bias. It's probably a little hard not to after, you know, a guy like Chris Wallace who's been doing it a long time in the, in the way that he does. And, you know, I have personal opinions on that matter. I think they both lean a little left of center, but hopefully they can be pretty neutral in this.

Los Angeles County has notified Grace Community Church that it will soon be evicted from a parcel of land that it uses as a parking lot.

Here it is. It's the happy, happy, happy, happy hour. Despite the life that we are now living in the lockdown, which has no good reason, no good reason at all. Preposterous is an understatement. It's the hap— those are the original lyrics, by the way. Amazing. So long ago they foresaw. Yes, indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, Dennis Prager here. The Happiness Hour, second hour every Friday. I do want to remind you, it is good for you, good for the show, good for your friends that you can have every hour of my show. Not every station has all 3 hours, and you can't listen often all 3 hours, or you want to listen again, or you want to share it without commercials. Prager Utopia, incredibly inexpensive nominal fee. Get the show anytime thou wantest without commercials. PragerUtopia.com. And then it's Prager Utopia Unlimited, but you read about it there. That's, uh, Utopia with a Prager. Happiness hour, because the, uh, the happy make the world better, the unhappy make it worse. Now you believe me? I've been saying that for all these years and it just sounds like a throwaway line. I don't have any throwaway lines. It's a lifetime of thinking and living that has brought me to these lines like, 'The happy make the world better and the unhappy make it worse.' Look around and look at your rioters. Do they strike you as a happy crowd? Do happy people riot? That, my dear friends, is what is known as a rhetorical question. Take the Living Martyr. Even though he's the Living Martyr, he— you know what? We could actually call you the happy martyr. That would be fair. You're a happy guy. I mean, you don't radiate exuberant ebullient happiness. I acknowledge that. I'm sorry? You have to agree. Exactly. So what? I don't care about that. I care about people radiating bad moods. I don't care about people. So I have a personality which is ebullient, but okay. But if, if you don't, I'm not asking you to adopt it. That's not— I, when I say act happy even if you don't feel it, it's don't act moody. Don't, don't inflict your unhappiness on others. But anyway, that's the personality issue. The other issue was the destructive nature of unhappy people.

Hmm.

That is the inimitable Adam Carolla, whose insights into people are devastatingly accurate. He's like a— what is a truly accurate machine? Well, give me a Geiger counter, and I'm, you know, that tells you when there's, what is it, uranium in the vicinity. All right, so today's topic on the Happiness Hour is fear. The, the more fear, the less happy. Well, I cannot think of a more germane topic at this time. The number of afraid people, and especially when the fear is irrational. I will tell you, irrational fear is not only a major source of unhappiness, it is a major source of evil. That's, uh, it's a very bad thing, irrational fear. I broadcast last hour about the Canadian airline, but it's happened in the U.S. I have a story from Southwest. 3-year-old child doesn't have a mask on, your whole family's kicked off the plane. In the case of WestJet Canada on Tuesday, Not only was the family kicked off the plane, they canceled the flight. What was the reason for that? Because a lot of, uh, passengers thought that the Canadian cops, uh, were, uh, being, being draconian. How did the cops— do the cops think that they're doing good work when they do that? I understand the cops. Look, I, I— that's my job. I, I agree. I understand that. But do they think that they are helping Canadian society kicking a 3-year-old and their family off a plane? That's what I'd like to know. See, if they say, you know what, I have no choice, that's what a policeman does, but I actually think I'm doing something stupid, then I know the policeman has retained his brains and his conscience and his faculty of reason. Or her. But if they agree and they think they're doing something noble, we are screwed. Or in this case, Canada is screwed. I'd like to know— that's what I'd like to know with regard to the, the police persons. We living in the age of irrational fear. A lot of people are unhappy as a result. Can you imagine The teachers who are marching with billboards, what is it? I didn't sign up to, uh, oh, for martyrdom. Yeah, well, it's right up your alley. You did sign up for martyrdom. That's the difference. That's why you're happier than they are. You signed up. It's free choice, exactly. Or another one, what is it? I'm supposed to teach from the classroom, not the casket. Or teachers who are writing their wills and what they want said in their obituaries. Not only are these people morons, but they are unhappy morons. Are they happy morons? Yeah, I suspect they're happy morons. Yeah, but they are unhappy. I mean, to walk around with that level of fear— one of the reasons I am happy is I am— I do not walk around with fear, and I'm rational. I understand what the odds are. I also have rationally concluded, because that is the only rational conclusion to draw, that hydroxychloroquine and zinc is awesome. Enabling you, your immune system, to fight off this illness in the earliest days of your contracting it. So I take it as a prophylactic. If you don't, you have been brainwashed. Okay, all of a sudden, one of the safest drugs in the history of drugs is dangerous. It shows that people believe what they want to believe and not believe what evidence suggests. People have been taking this for over 50 years with virtually zero effect. Okay, so we live in the age of irrational fear. Now, I mean, now that's just the example of the moment that the frightened are unhappy. People are frightened of death. I don't want to die, but I'm not frightened of it. I'm not sure what there is to be frightened of. It's— if you're a good person and you believe in a good God, then there's something good after. If you're an atheist, there's nothing after. Nothing is not frightening. You had nothing before you were born. Was it all that bad, right? Think about it. Or when you go under anesthetic anesthesia for, uh, for surgery. Do you find it an unpleasant experience? No, of course not. But people who, uh, who are frightened by— frightened by anything, and then they communicate it to their children. Poor kids. You know, it just hit me. There you go, another ode to my dad. Do you know, he truly— I don't even know if he did it intentionally. A lot of things parents do is not intentional, but he conveyed to me not to be afraid. And, uh, he, he, uh, he served 3 years, almost 3 years, I think, in the Pacific in the U.S. Navy in World War II. He was at— he was on exactly the type of ship the, the Japanese sent kamikazes to destroy because he was bringing troops over. He was on a group, on a troop transport as an officer. And I know that he doesn't exaggerate. He slept like a baby. Now, in his case, he had a reason. His reason was he believes that God determines when you'll die. There's nothing you can do about it. Now, I don't happen to believe that. But I don't have, I don't walk around in fear, and I got that largely from him. When my mother would say, oh, he has to, you know, oh, he can't go out, it's too cold, or he needs a jacket, I remember my father's response, what are you gonna do, keep him in a china closet? 1-800-PRAGER-776, fear and unhappiness.

Every night on the news, here's the latest person who is dying or died from COVID Every day there's, there's more scare, scare tactics by a media that, you know, legitimately covers bad news. That's not new for us. We ought to accept that. That's what they do. They're not going to cover the 95% of people who handle COVID without any, with very minimal problems. They're not going to cover that. That's not a good story for them. The heartbreaking story of a father or a mother or a daughter or a son, uh, of anybody, that's a big story to the media.

How do you tell people going into public life how to handle their children when they're going to have to put up with this wave of hatred online and an occasional— I mean, the LA Times reporter calling you the chunky soccer mom, I would be thrown off the radio if I did that to anybody. I would. So how do you warrant the standards are different for conservatives and liberals and the conservatives are gonna get hammered?

Well, I think the most important thing is to know who you are on the front end. I am thankful that I'm not looking for definition to my life from the New York Times or the Washington Post. I have that already from a God who created me. And so knowing who I am and what I believe in before I ever stepped foot in that building was really important for me and something I try to talk with my kids about. They're young, so it can be difficult, and there are certain things, frankly, I just try to shield them from having to be part of some of the nastiness that's involved. But in the moments that they are exposed to, we try to be honest. We try to talk about why we treat other people with respect. No matter if we disagree with them, we still can do that and do so in a respectful way. So I use it as best I can to be a teaching moment of how we don't want to act and how we don't want to treat other people, because that's not how we want to be treated. I think it's as simple as, you know, going back to the very basics of treat other people the way you want to be treated. And we tried to use those moments to pass that message to our kids.

One of the winsome things about the book is that you say nothing negative about anyone that isn't publicly known, like the Michelle Wolf controversy. In fact, you say nice things about Jim Acosta, which will stun a few people.

Sean, say Dennis Prager. I just want to make sure I got it through clearly. Well done, well done. 1-800-PRAGER-776. The topic of the Happiness Hour is fear. If you are frightened, frightened people are not happy people. I mean, it's so obvious, but the obvious is not what people recognize often. You know, it's, it's now a cliché, right? Franklin Roosevelt said in the middle of the Depression, The only thing there is to fear is fear itself, or the only thing we should fear is fear itself. That was a different America. That was a liberal Democrat talking. Now, today, boo-hoo-hoo, the only thing we have to fear is, and then you have this long list, including the spectacularly irrational belief that if you're a healthy person You will die of COVID My God, I, I was at the airport again yesterday, flying back from Michigan. There are people who are— it, it is so clear they, they truly believe that the mask is the difference between life and death. Irrational fear. Now, it's an interesting question. Is there rational fear? So when my father was on his ship in Japan, right, as an officer on a naval ship transporting troops to the Pacific, so such ships would be attacked by Japanese planes, including kamikaze planes. So it would be rational, right? It would have been rational of him to fear being hit by a Japanese plane. Yet he wasn't. And you might argue because he had an irrational belief that God sets the time of your death. So by— so isn't that interesting? There's an example of where the non-rational is extremely helpful. As I've said to you often, religion in its— at its best provides a safety valve for the non-rational in your life. When the non-rational leaves the realm of religion and enters The rest of life, that's when you have what you have today. It's called college. Not collagen. College. So rational or not, irrational fear is the worst. But even rational fear, obviously, you, you'd have to, uh, you would have to chase it. Chase it. That's funny. I know why I said chase. I just saw Scott Strohmeyer walk by and I have to chase him down because he owes me $5 and he hasn't paid. We made a bet on the hockey thing. I wouldn't— I didn't watch, but we did. Okay, just want to say for the public to know, this poor guy keeps losing bets to me in hockey. Thinks he's a hockey maven. It's, it's life. Let's go to Ellen in Columbus, Ohio. Hello, Ellen.

Hi, thank you so much for taking my call today, Dennis. I just wanted to say really quickly that I've been listening for probably 5 years now, and after listening to your wisdom and, and, and I Follow PragerU and, um, and all that stuff, I've decided to homeschool my children. So this is our first year doing it, and I'm enjoying it so far. So thank you for that.

Do you know, if, if that's all I accomplished in my life was to get Ellen of Columbus to homeschool her children, I would feel that I had led a worthwhile life. That is how important what you just told me is.

That means a lot. And we're very much enjoying this, uh, time with our kids that we can't get back. We only get, what, 17 summers with them?

That's right. That's correct.

Yeah, so thanks again for taking my call. I wanted to run something by you. So I have a friend, um, who has, um, a couple little girls, adorable little girls. One is 2 and one's a little baby. Um, and, uh, they'll occasionally come, you know, they're very close, so they'll come to family gatherings, stuff like that. Um, but she will not let her 2-year-old out of her sight. Um, when she goes out to meet people, you know, say the kids are playing on the playground, the 2-year-old is not allowed to play on the playground in fear that she'll get hurt or there's germs or something like that. No one watches the other child because she doesn't trust anybody to watch the child. But in return, I've noticed that she's not—

she doesn't seem happy.

She's depressed. She's anxious. She worries that people are following her all the time. And I completely agree with you in saying this— some of these fears are— they can kind of be rational. It's hard to be a mom and to let go, and you worry about your kids. But on the other hand, you're just like, goodness gracious.

Is your sister married?

Um, she is. Yeah.

Does her husband support her fears?

He, I think he works a lot, so he just kind of goes along with it. Like he doesn't really, I don't think, I think he just, I mean, it's like my old theory.

Men want peace in the house more than they want sex.

A happy wife, happy life.

That's right. Yes. But of course I have a response to that. Rational spouse, happy house.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So it kind of concerns me sometimes.

They feel—

so why—

all right, so why are you different than your sister?

Hmm.

You know, that's a great question. I wish I knew the answer to that.

Yeah, I wish I knew it too.

That's why I asked it.

I don't know. But I mean, I think a lot of people also think that I'm a little bit more, um, like too not fearful with my kids because I love them so much.

It's not possible. It's not possible.

I let him ride his bike down to his friend's house, it's 6 doors down. I let them play in the backyard without me like staring at them the whole time.

That's right.

That's correct.

And it's crazy, but like, you know, you just go, you know, they're, they're God's first and they're mine second. And it's not to be, um, reckless with them.

You're not reckless. It's not even an issue. Listen, let me just say this. I, uh, I never patronize a caller or listeners. Your kids are lucky to have you as a mother.

Oh my goodness, thank you. You don't know what that means to me. I look up to you a lot, and I'm just thankful that you even took my call. Um, and I take to heart a lot of what you said, and I think, um, your show honestly changes my life. So I really appreciate everything that you do, and I love PragerU. I make my kids watch PragerU every day before they homeschool, and, uh, yeah, we're a huge fan.

And we have had a number of presidents not see or not have the courage, more likely, to stand up to China and to pretend in a way that morality doesn't come into it, that if you're using slave labor, we don't care. Somebody else who used slave labor we might as well profit off of it. I'm astounded that this president has had the courage to stand up to China.

I've watched this man and his statements over the years, so I was not surprised at all. And what surprised me is the degree to which he has fulfilled his promises. Standing up to China was one of the most courageous acts of— you have to go back, in my opinion, to Lincoln to find a president of his historic weight and gravitas and importance. I really believe he is that historic because he stopped cold the idea that a very simple economic principle, that it was not a zero-sum game, international trade. You could let the other trading partners take 4/10 of a percent off GDP every year, not a problem. And then suddenly people started looking around after this president said, free trade, it's costing us trillions. And he's right.

And it did.

And it would have continued until we were an abject debtor nation in perpetuity, were it not for Donald Trump. And to stand up against China took great guts because China, as you know, is a formidable competitor. They're more than that. They are our enemy in a Cold War that is only intensifying.

Donald Trump has had a history of disparaging people, so it seems consistent with character, yada blah, etc. I've told you a million times that if they wanted to be fair and balanced, the media could easily be focused on entirely different stories that one could make a case are at least as important, if not more important. This story was based upon 4 unnamed sources. It turns out Atlantic— the largest owner of Atlantic is a big Joe Biden donor. Contributed 7 figures, meets regularly with the reporter who did the story.

You know, Americans have 20, right, 20s to the '60s. Wow. He came from New Orleans, if I'm not mistaken. And so he was obviously a Black man and obviously a major success in America. I'd love to see— people say all the time, they ask, well, if you could have, you know, a meal with anybody in the past, and I— and nobody comes to mind because I, I sort of think that, you know, like Moses, right? I pretty much know, I think, what Moses thought about what matters. I don't want to ask him personal questions. I don't— I'm not interested in gossip. But I would, now that I think of it, I would like to have a lunch with Louis Armstrong, and I'd like to ask him what he felt as a black man in America in the age of Jim Crow, and yet being a national household name and beloved by vast numbers of Americans. His audience was way, way transcended Black audiences. I think there's this vision among many young Americans that to be a Black prior to the '60s was to live in hell. I think that is their vision. Yes. Oh, that's very funny. That was good, Sean. Sean said, I'd have lunch with him and ask him, how does your family think about your views? That's right, that's very funny. I asked that about conservative— I asked that when two groups call, three groups, conservative gays. Well, no, I don't ask conservative gays because their family is probably heterosexual. So I asked that of conservative Jews and conservative Blacks. How does your family react? Subject of the Happiness Hour today is fear. You're a frightened person, like now with regard to COVID. Now, that last caller, this terrific young woman, 29, in Columbus, reminds me to tell you that I am convinced one of the reasons there are so many frightened Americans is they were raised by helicopter parents, watching that they never go out alone, not play in the dirt. Not go on a seesaw. They don't even know what a seesaw is, right? Seesaws are dangerous. Diving boards are dangerous. What else was banned? Oh, uh, monkey bars. Remember that? Everything I played with is now banned. Dodgeball, right? Ring-a-Levio. Uh, jungle bars. Seesaw and diving board. Well, what do kids play today? Electronic games. Boy, I tell you, it was very— it's so amazing. I was at the airport yesterday, so I don't know how I— yeah, standing in line, and there, there was a kid with his father, and he had his, uh, his smartphone on him, and all he was doing is playing some, you know, cartoon video game. Now I understand allowing kids to do that, you know, some of the time, and, and that might be the case there, you know, the father made it so he's in line, what the hell. But I just wonder how much time— you see, you get a lot, you learn a lot doing nothing, standing in line and looking at people. Is a major form of education about life for a child. Now you can't see faces and you're playing video game. I can't believe that that's a healthy development for that, uh, for that child. I will take your calls. The subject is fear. As the— as a, uh, impossible obstacle to happiness.

Welcome back.

I'm talking to Lou Dobbs, and I got to tell you, Lou, when I'm talking to you, the first thing I think about is that you were with CNN. Did you ever dream that CNN and the New York Times would do what they've done, which is effectively utterly abdicate any kind of sense of fair journalism and become advocacy journalists, if there is such a thing?

Yeah, I think I had a strong sense of it, certainly at CNN, because I was suddenly one man amongst the herd of liberals in CNN. I knew that that kind of conflict and contest couldn't go on much longer. But the New York Times It was what it's been. It's left-wing journalism. But what surprised me is the commitment of the Washington Post with Jeff Bezos taking over. I mean, it is a full-on propaganda operation attacking this president 24/7, as is the New York Times. I'm not suggesting otherwise, or CNN or MSNBC. They're all doing it. But the Post once had a standard. That was, I think, reasonable at least. Not always fair, not always balanced, but reasonable. That's gone entirely.

I wonder what Sally Quinn has to say about this. I mean, I just can't imagine how far these papers have gone and CNN.

The president— I don't know that I've ever seen this of any president or presidential candidate. Here was the crowd last night in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Meanwhile, there's Joe Biden reading from a teleprompter in the basement of his home in Delaware, reading answers from a teleprompter and sounding like something's seriously wrong.

This is Owen Strand for townhall.com. The recent unveiling of the Republican agenda for a second term gave much encouragement to many who need it. Defeat COVID, create jobs, disentangle from China, provide school choice, teach American exceptionalism unapologetically. Defend the police as an institution, oppose human trafficking. These and other measures offer sanity, flourishing, and hope to an embattled country. No agenda can cover every issue. Two outstanding issues need platforming, however: religious liberty and abortion. The Trump administration has taken stands on both of these momentous matters, and to good effect. In days ahead, though, supporters of religious liberty and the unerasable human Well, that's ironic.

There's Jimmy Durante having just mentioned him. I wonder if Jimmy Durante and— what was I just talking about again? I'm sorry. Yeah, Louis Armstrong knew each other. How could they not? This is the Happiness Hour. The subject is fear. I'm not sure I ever did a Happiness Hour on fear, but I'm looking at a frightened civilization. And no one is more frightened than the leaders, the rulers that, who rule us, and people give in. I mean, you can argue all you like, and I'm not going to argue this hour on health issues, on medical issues. Argue all you like. What you cannot argue is that the frightened person is an unhappy person and that the last generation was raised to be frightened. Oh, don't go to the store on your own. Oh, don't play over there. Oh, don't go on a seesaw. Oh, don't play dodgeball. Oh, don't lose in a game by too many points. It'll hurt your self-image. They were raised to be frightened. I was raised to not be frightened. I'm a happy person in part because of that. Okay, let's take your calls here. And Irvine, California, and Wendy. Hello, Wendy.

Well, hello, Dennis. It is definitely an honor to speak to you. Thank you so much. Thank you for taking my call. I am a very happy person, and I have a friend who has— I've known her for over 40 years. She worries about everything, everything. And we've been good friends, and we talk, oh, 2, 3 times a week. She lives in Northern California, and during this pandemic, I can hardly talk to her. Because she is so afraid of everything and can't believe that I'm not afraid of getting this virus. For 2 months, she never left her home. She has everything delivered, and she's very proud of the fact that she's going to continue to have everything delivered and not go to a store. Fortunately, she's well off enough to be able to afford that. Not everyone can. So it just breaks my heart not being able to talk to her because I don't want to be so brought down by her fear.

And well, I thank you. I don't know what to say. I'll tell you why I don't know what to say. There are people who are influenceable and there are people who are not. This is one of the earliest conclusions I drew from my own work. I want to influence. I have no desire for power, so I didn't run for office. I only have desire to influence. And I realized very early on I could give the finest, most rational arguments. Some people will hear them and change, and some people it will bounce off like, uh, I don't know what bounces off what, like a ping pong ball off a tortoise shell. It's because I own tortoises that I thought that. And that's just, that's just the way it is. That's a good example of that woman has to fight her nature. Look at, that's the key in all of life is to fight your nature. It's the key to being a decent human and it's key to being a happy human. You must fight your nature. It doesn't help if you were raised to be frightened. It's really, uh, that's, it makes it doubly difficult. People say to me, as you hear on the radio, you know, I just want you to know you've changed my life, you've changed my thinking. And I always tell them, well, I don't say it always on the radio, in private, sometimes I say it on the radio, but in private, I always tell people, you get half the credit. I say X, Y, and Z, half the people who hear it, it has no impact. Half the people who hear it has a big impact. So you have to get half the credit. You were open to hearing it. I believe that her friend wants to be frightened. It is a— people do what they want, right? Let's, let's be honest. I learned, I learned from the Happiness Hour that a lot of unhappy people want to be unhappy. I don't understand that. That's like saying I would like to be burned. But nevertheless, too many people have— I've spoken to too many people not to acknowledge that there are people who like being unhappy. Maybe they like the attention it brings, the sympathy that it brings. The unhappy child is the greasy wheel that gets the oil. And the squeaky— that's right, otherwise it became greasy after it got the oil. So I was somewhat right. I gave the order wrong. The squeaky wheel, correct. I think her friend revels in her fear. I don't, I don't understand it. I don't get it. That to me is, it's like reveling in, in an ice bath. On the other hand, I know somebody who revels in ice baths, so. Uh, okay, let's go to more here. And Chris in Hudson, Wisconsin. Hello, Chris.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, been interesting.

Yes. So go ahead.

So I'm a teacher very near to the cities, pretty close, probably within 10 minutes of where George Floyd passed away. And as a conservative teacher in that area, I felt nothing but fear in the last at least 3 months, let's say 100 days since Everything—

oh, stay on with me. Actually, sad to say, your fear is rational.

And we have had a number of presidents not see or not have the courage, more likely, to stand up to China and to pretend in a way that morality doesn't come into it, that if you're using slave labor, we don't care. Somebody else who used slave labor, we might as well profit off of it. I'm astounded that this president has had the courage to stand up to China.

I've watched this man and his statements over the years, so I was not surprised at all. And what surprised me is the degree to which he has fulfilled his promises. Standing up to China was one of the most courageous acts of— you have to go back, in my opinion, to Lincoln to find a president of his historic weight and gravitas and importance. I really believe he is that historic, because he stopped cold the idea that a very simple economic principle, that it was not a zero-sum game, international trade. You could let the other trading partners take 0.4% off GDP every year, not a problem. And then suddenly people started looking around after this president said, free trade, it's costing us trillions. And he's right.

And it did.

And it would have continued until we were an abject debtor nation in perpetuity were it not for Donald Trump. And to stand up against China took great guts because China, as you know, is a formidable competitor. They're more than that. They are our enemy in a Cold War that is only intensifying.

Dennis is the first name. Happiness Hour, and the subject is fear. And we have more unhappy Americans probably than at any time, including the Depression. And it's in large measure owing to fear. Yes. So let's go back to Chris, who's a teacher in Wisconsin, and you're conservative, and you're, uh, you fear losing your job because you are conservative. Did I get you correctly?

Yep, that's 100% correct.

And so How long have you been a teacher?

Well, this is the start of my 6th year.

And you don't have tenure?

Uh, no, I finally have tenure as of this year. But even so, just, um, at the start of the whole thing with George Floyd, there were a couple teachers who posted things. One was closer to Duluth and one had posted something online that said, all lives matter. She lost her job. Um, and at this point it's like, I don't feel safe to have civil discourse with the people I work with, nor do I feel like if they had any clue whatsoever what I believe, that they'd want to work with me or that the district would fight to keep me.

Wow. My beloved America has deteriorated.

Yeah, we actually, we got a message from our superintendent last week and it was in regards to a lot of race things. And I mean, there's more to it than what I'm giving, but the basic gist of it was, you know, if you don't buy into our vision of what equity is, you know, we strongly encourage you to find employment elsewhere.

I noticed that when Donald Trump got elected, they were all like freaking out.

And I noticed they were all taking anxiety meds.

Before we get to your latest videos, Chris, tell us about why you chose to be Mr. Reagan on YouTube and social media.

Well, that's essentially why. I mean, my love for Ronald Reagan, I needed a norm de plure. I needed some kind of, the reason is because I I work here in Los Angeles, or I used to work in Los Angeles. I used to work acting.

Got it.

How do you tell people going into public life how to handle their children when they're gonna have to put up with this wave of hatred online and an occasional, I mean, the LA Times reporter calling you the chunky soccer mom that, you know, I would be thrown off the radio if I did that to anybody. I would. So how do you warn the standards are different for conservatives and liberals and the conservatives are gonna get hammered?

Well, I think the most important thing is to know who you are on the front end. I am thankful that I'm not looking for definition to my life from the New York Times or the Washington Post. I have that already from a God who created me. And so knowing who I am and what I believe in before I ever stepped foot in that building was really important for me and something I try to talk with my kids about. They're young, so it can be difficult, and there are certain things Frankly, I just try to shield them from having to be part of some of the nastiness.

All right, what happened to let Dennis be Dennis? I don't understand. I don't feel right speaking. That's exactly right. That was my parents' decision when I was 14. Been happy since. All right, whatever's on your mind, ladies and gentlemen, about you, about me, about life, about death, and of course about audio equipment. Ah, yes, audio equipment, fountain pens, classical music, photography, and cigars. Yes, 5 things. Yes, that's right, 5 things. One of the secrets to my happiness passionate about a lot of things. The more the merrier. That's, that's, uh, it's a great gift. All right, everybody, what is on your mind? Was there something that I wanted to carry over from the last hour? Is that it? Yes, I did. That's right, Chris in Hudson, Wisconsin, who's a teacher. All right, back to you, Chris. It's not the happiness hour, but it's a very important subject. You're a conservative who's a teacher, and despite the fact that you have tenure, 6 years teaching, you're afraid you'll get fired if you express your views. So your superintendent of schools sent out a message. I remember what you said correctly, correct?

That's correct.

And the essence of the message was that if you are not on board with our views on race, you should find employment elsewhere. Is that correct?

Yeah, I mean, that wasn't, that wasn't the full message, but that was a very, at least for me, a cornerstone piece of not feeling safe with my job.

Well, if you, uh, if you put on a Facebook page or tweeted, Instagrammed, or however you put out that you believe that while there are racists— of course there are racists in America— America is not a racist country and it's a land of opportunity for nearly everyone. What would happen?

Well, let me answer that with a quote from yesterday's professional development seminar. Subtle colonialism and white supremacist ideology is the current ongoing and cultural and systemic knee, and we need to build the mindfulness of our present participation and placement of the knee. So I'd be— I'm pretty sure they'd can me pretty quick.

So they're using the knee from the George Floyd death as the simile, as the metaphor. So there's a knee— America has a knee on Black's necks.

Well, in this, in this case, it was a land acknowledgment about Native Americans. And I agree with most of what they're saying about where our school is placed, and I understand historical context, but I fundamentally disagree with the fact that, you know, people who exist today are white supremacists.

Well, what is there to agree with? I'm not, I'm not arguing with you. I want to just understand what is there to agree with with regard to indigenous people and Hudson, Wisconsin, that there was a time in Hudson, Wisconsin when indigenous people ruled essentially.

Um, because I work closer to Minneapolis, it has a lot more to deal with the Dakota tribe that was there. And like I said, I totally understand where they're coming from historically, but to equate what happened then to what happened with George Floyd and then kind of extrapolating it to, you know—

Well, I want to understand something. What is one to do with the fact that 300 years ago, the Dakota tribe roamed free in that area. I'm not being cute.

I'm not.

I'm being utterly sincere. What is one to do about that?

Personally, I have no idea. I mean, I think a little bit more about Rushmore and the fact that, you know, with Trump's speech there, it was previous years, you know, it's a glorious monument, and this year it's, you know, it's ugly, it's hateful, we stole it from them. Well, There were about 5 other tribes that lived on that land prior to us. So why is it always—

by the way, how do we know that Dakota didn't steal it from another tribe? The odds are overwhelming that they did. We only know the last tribe to be sovereign there.

I know, I agree completely.

And short of returning the land to the descendants of Dakota, Dakotans, if, if I may use that term. I don't know what there is to do. There is no society on Earth that is not founded, uh, I suspect none. Maybe, maybe there is. Maybe the only people who ever lived in Japan were Japanese. I, I don't know. But the vast majority of the world is society composed of societies built on previous societies. Anyway, so putting that aside, what I said would render you, you think, if you said America is a good place or It's worth noting that 3 million Black Africans came here voluntarily in the last 20 years from Africa and the Caribbean and seem to be thriving. Nigerians earning more money than whites. That would— you really do believe that would get you fired?

Well, to those statements with that, I don't think that would get me fired. Um, I think with that, it'd be you know, kind of blacklisted as a teacher there and, you know, put under the microscope.

Well, you shouldn't even use blacklisted. That alone would render you fired, just the term itself, right? Blacklisted is a negative and it has the word black in it. But, uh, you would, you would, you would be ostracized socially, clearly. Are you ostracized socially now, or do they have no clue as to how you think?

They have absolutely no clue. I mean, I keep my head down.

So you are truly what I call a Marrano. You're, you're like the Jews in medieval Spain who acted Catholic and practiced Judaism at home. You, you are this modern Marrano.

Well, if it helps, I'm an art teacher, so it's even rarer than that.

That's right, in your profession. So it's— are you married?

I am.

Does your wife share your values?

Mm-hmm, and she's a teacher too.

What percentage of teachers do you think are in your position?

You know, it's hard to say because I really do think there's a lot of groupthink. On this side of the river where I live, I do think that there's a lot of people who just kind of keep their heads down or, you know, it's just not something that they talk about at work. Where I mean, today alone, there were 2 or 3 people who had mentioned Trump. Oh, it's Trump and Trump. It's like, I don't feel safe to have any conversation there that's actually meaningful. And if I just, you know, don't nod my head and agree, I do feel like I'll be personally ostracized.

Well, you, you have to, And I'm not telling you what to do. It's not right for me to, because I don't have the same situation as you. I'm hated by many people, but I don't have a threat to my work. At a given point, you just have to figure out what you can do without being fired. And then ask, can I handle the ostracization and hate? Because you will find allies that you didn't know you had. I just want you to know that they do exist. I have friends in the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, the last orchestra in the country you would imagine it would be okay to state that you're a conservative. And they have been bold about it. Their colleagues don't like their views, but they're doing okay. So it's something you have to weigh. I will just say this. I can handle being hated. I'm not sure I could handle being fired because I want you to have an income. So if I were him, if I were he, to be actually correct grammatically, I would speak out in as non-emotional, non-adjectival, fact-based way as possible. And, and then see what happens. But I'm, I'm not telling him to do that. I'm only saying what I think I would do. But I certainly would not want to get fired. I have to support a family.

What do you make of the 4 debate moderators? We've got Chris Wallace, Steve Scully, Kristen Welker, and Susan Page for the vice presidents. What do you think?

Well, I think it's an interesting mix of people. Certainly I think you've got some people, you know, seasoned journalists who have been around a long time like Chris Wallace, Susan Page, who have been kind of doing, you know, big moments and big stage for a while. And then you have kind of a newcomer in Kristen Welker. Steve Scully, obviously, having been around. But also, I think he— I like Steve being a moderator. He is certainly more of a news guy. I think he's a good middle of the road. Moderator. The rest, we'll see. The good news is I think Donald Trump is going to do spectacular regardless of who the moderator is. I think he actually tends to do better in an interview that is harder. I think it's when he really rises to the moment, and I feel very comfortable about where he'll be with that group of moderators.

Sarah, in speaking for myself, you draw the distinction between Rachel Maddow and Sean Huckabee— Sean Huckabee, Sean Hannity on one side and on the other side, news journalists. Do you put Chris and Kristen in that category? Scully really is. It's hard to argue that Steve Scully is other than a news guy. He's the most straight up guy in town. But what about the other two?

I think they both have certainly some leaning and some bias. It's probably a little hard not to after, you know, a guy like Chris Wallace who's been doing it a long time. In the way that he does. And, you know, I have personal opinions on that matter. I think they both lean a little left of center, but hopefully they can be pretty neutral in this.

We didn't want people to die because of something we did, an insensitivity or anything like that. So when we heard there were going to be millions dying, we shut the church down. I went to an empty 3,000-seat auditorium and we did livestream. After about 4 or 5 weeks, our people began to realize that the pandemic wasn't what what they were told it was. Slowly they just started coming back. We didn't make an announcement. We didn't say anything official.

So just, just organically, you emptied your church, went to televisual services, and then they started coming back?

They started coming back in the dozens and then the hundreds, and in a few weeks there were 6,000, then there were 7,000.

And what is your average, um, group of people worshiping?

Yes, it's about 7,000 on a normal Sunday. So we had them filling up the place. We put up a tent in the parking lot, they filled that. We have a chapel, they filled that. We have a gym, they filled that. People just kept pouring back, and they didn't buy the narrative. They absolutely didn't.

And, and then, and then what happened? What happened with your authorities, Pastor MacArthur?

They, they, they sued us and we went to court 4 times and we won all 4 of those court hearings.

Today is Friday, so I meant this coming Friday, next Friday night. And then 10 days later is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Quarter of a million people watched my Passover Seder, probably more, probably 350,000. But in any event, I can't believe that I did it. After 13 years, or in the 13th year of conducting high holy day services for Jews and non-Jews, Obviously, mostly Jews come, just as mostly Jews have Seders, but, but non-Jews, especially Christians, love Jewish ritual.

All right, so this is the hour that's, uh, that's on your mind. Kevin in, uh, in Dallas, hi.

Hello?

Hi, Kevin.

Yeah, how you doing?

Okay, thanks.

Am I on the air or not?

You're on the air, yes.

Okay.

Yeah, I had a—

I have a relative, I can't give specifics, but she is out in the Chicago area. She works for a government agency and, um, they actually fired somebody for an off-time social media post that did not, uh, align with the LGBTQ+ pedophile and Black Lives Matter movement of the agency. And then every employee was made to sign a waiver, um, signing away their right to keeping their job if they did not comply, even in their, um, off-time posts on social media. Yet the director of the program himself a, a homosexual used company computers to make his posts supporting his position.

What was the position that the person— what is the, the tweet or Facebook post that the person put up?

It was just that they were not supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Oh, what did that have to do with LGBTQ?

Well, the, the The agency's position is that they are supportive of both the Black Lives Matter movement and the LGBTQ community.

Right.

I understand.

The director is homosexual, and the waiver that they had to sign included language that they, that the employees must not engage in any social media posts that were against those two policies.

So where was the person fired from?

Uh, I guess you can only say a government agency.

Oh, a government agency. Okay. Yeah, by the way, I don't know why you added pedophile, but I will say this about, uh, the pedophile on Netflix. What is the name of this? Uh, Cubies? C-U-B-I-E-S? Cuties? C-U-T-I-E-S. There's a So it's really, I mean, from the trailer, I didn't even see the trailer, all I saw was a picture of the trailer. But it's basically about prepubescent girls in quote-unquote sexy outfits twerking. Netflix is streaming that. Netflix refused to stream No Safe Spaces. Give you an idea how sick the world of the left is. I mean, this is truly, you know, people use the terminology because the left owns language. The Jeffrey Epstein world, which is tawdry and ugly, obviously, but it's not pedophilia. Prepubescent is pedophilia. Underage is not the same as pedophile. They always throw, you know, what is it, Ped Island, whatever they call it, right? Pedophile Island. But this is pedophilia. That's the irony. And but it's okay for Netflix. You could say, 'A republic if you can keep it.' That's what Franklin warned. I don't know if we're going to keep it. I don't. I, and that's, uh, that's the way it works. All right. And, uh, Reena in Newport Beach, California. Hello, Reina or Reena. Hello.

Oh, Reina.

Hello.

Hi, Dennis Prager.

My God. A third guest. Yes.

Like queen in Spanish.

Come on, Dennis, you're so right.

Um, I love you. Let's get that out of the way.

Good.

And I had a reaction to that conservative teacher talking. Um, I'm very fortunate, I do work in LA County, but I do have some liberal friends at work. I'm able to have some— they're also Christians. I have some good conversations with them and we can agree to disagree. But this whole experience has brought me out Hardcore. I'm having the opposite reaction. I no longer care what the left thinks. I don't want to use the word hate, but there's some of that growing in me for the extremists on the other side. And I'm— I took a 4-month break from Facebook and I'm back hardcore despite the strong division in my own family. I have a mother and older sister who are extreme leftists. I have a brother and a sister who are on my side. And Um, I'm a recovered liberal myself and I've worked with at-risk kids for 20 years and I saw what liberal policies did to, um, inner city youth and their families and it made me see the light. So I thank you for what you do and, you know, I hope more conservatives will come out as I am.

So what's happened to you? What has happened to you? This is going to be helpful for people who were afraid. What's happened?

Um, well, I, I, a lot of, uh, I've been unfriended by people that probably were never my friends to begin with. Um, people definitely have, uh, they see me in a different light now, and I'm fine with that. I, you know, for a long time I wore, I wore a cloak of shame or embarrassment.

Well, you are special. You are really special. I'd love to give you a COVID-era hug, meaning a real hug. I hug people, but, uh, I want to redress this about coming out.

We have been scared crapless by the media coverage of COVID-19. Every night on the news, here's the latest person who is dying or died from COVID Every day there's, there's more scare, scare tactics by a media that, you know, legitimately covers bad news. That's not new for us. We ought to accept that. That's what they do. They're not going to cover the 95% of people who handle COVID without any— with very minimal problems. They're not going to cover that. That's not a good story for them. The heartbreaking story of a father or a mother or a daughter or a son, uh, of anybody— that's a big story to the media. Not Eric Hansen and his wife Gina and their entire family that all got exposed, got the virus, had a cold, had flu symptoms for a couple of days, and now feel like a million bucks. That's not much. That's not going to be on the NBC Nightly News. So sure, you see the crowd in Winston-Salem and you say, oh my gosh, 'Look at how close together those people are. Is there going to be a super spreader event?' I don't know. Was there a super spreader event in Tulsa at the president's rally? We didn't hear of any. People who claim that the great Herman Cain contracted the virus at the Tulsa rally and died from it have no idea that he got it in Tulsa. He did a whole bunch of events over the span of those few, few weeks. Short on facts here.

How do you tell people going into public life how to handle their children when they're going to have to put up with this wave of hatred online and an occasional, I mean, the LA Times reporter calling you the chunky soccer mom, that, you know, I would be thrown off the radio if I did that to anybody. I would. So how do you warrant the standards are different for conservatives and liberals and the conservatives are gonna get hammered?

Well, I think the most important thing is to know who you are on the front end. I am thankful that I'm not looking for definition to my life from the New York Times Times or the Washington Post. I have that already from a God who created me. And so knowing who I am and what I believe in before I ever stepped foot in that building was really important for me and something I try to talk with my kids about. They're young, so it can be difficult, and there are certain things, frankly, I just try to shield them from having to be part of some of the nastiness that's involved. But in the moments that they are exposed to, We try to be honest, we try to talk about why we treat other people with respect, no matter if we disagree with them, we still can do that and do so in a respectful way. So I use it as best I can to be a teaching moment of how we don't want to act and how we don't want to treat other people, because that's not how we want to be treated. I think it's as simple as, you know, going back to the very basics of treat other people the way you want to be treated. And we tried to use those moments to pass that message to our kids.

One of the winsome things about the book is that you say nothing negative about anyone that isn't publicly known, like the Michelle Wolf controversy. In fact, you say nice things about Jim Acosta, which will stun a few people.

All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here. What is on your mind is what we talk about. And we have a caller from Zagreb, Croatia. Mark, hello. Having a problem getting on that one. Clicked on it 15 times. There we go. Hello, Mark.

Can you hear me, Mr. Prager?

I do, yes.

Okay, thank you. You probably have heard of the Seventh-day Adventists. Now, I'm not one of them, but I agree with Christians having to keep the Sabbath and of course not eating pork and shellfish and so on. But it's very hard to keep the Sabbath in the modern world. I mean, not abstaining from work, it's okay, it's easy not to work on that day. But for example, I find myself isolating from almost everyone I know because on Saturday Everyone wants to go either for lunch or go to a mall or somewhere, and if I cannot buy anything, I don't know, it seems that I'm not getting the Sabbath benefits. I presume it would be very easy and nice to keep the Sabbath in Israel, but in Croatia and in most of the Western world, especially in Europe where no one even keeps Sunday, not even the Christians, Everyone buys on Sunday, 97%, and I think I'm not exaggerating.

You're not. So are you a Jew or a Christian?

I'm a Christian.

Right. So you don't have any other, you don't know any other Christians in Zagreb who want to observe a Sabbath?

I actually do. I went to the Seventh Day Adventist church.

Well, you not only, you have two choices. Seventh-day Adventists and Messianic Jews.

We don't have Messianic Jews in Croatia. We only have Seventh-day Adventists.

No, but there are Messianic Christian congregations that observe. I didn't mean Messianic Jews. I meant actually Christians who observe the Sabbath as identifying in some ways with Jews. So that's not uncommon even in Western Europe. I mean, it's not common, but it's not uncommon. So I was wondering if that existed at all. How is the state of Christianity in Croatia? Is it dying as it is in the West?

Um, actually, Croatia, I think the latest poll said that young Croatians were more religious and conservative than old Croatians who grew up in atheist Yugoslavia. But the thing with Catholics and with The Orthodox, but let's take the Catholics now since this is a Catholic country. Everyone's religious on paper. No one ever reads the Bible. No one knows a lot about the Bible. No one cares too much. They're just like, it's a nationalistic thing, Mr. Prager, here in the Balkans and in Eastern Europe. Like, to be a real Croat is to be a Catholic. To be a real Serb is to be Orthodox, even though most of them secular, right?

Exactly. But to have that identity— well, uh, listen, I'm touched that you, uh, that you listened and that you called. Uh, what I, I would advise to you is, first of all, you could go with your friends and not buy anything. If— I don't think that that, that would be, uh, all that difficult. You could also What I would do, and have done, is invite people over for a Shabbat dinner. That way you're with your friends, but you're showing them something that you take seriously. They might find it fascinating, and in any event, it's just a wonderful evening to talk. It's, uh, what do they always say? If you can't beat them, join them. But I've always felt, if you can't beat them, have them join you. I've sort of changed that thing. Anyway, stay in touch with me. Let me hear from you in a couple of months. Okay. Jim in Thornton, Colorado. From Zagreb to Thornton.

Hello, Dennis.

Yes, sir.

I cannot any longer watch major sports.

I grew up a Cardinal fan.

Growing up in Jackson, Tennessee, I've been a Cardinals fan for 70 years. We moved to Texas when I was 13, and our youth leader at church took a group of us boys to the very first Dallas Cowboys game. I've been a Cowboys fan for 60 years.

We moved to Colorado in '91 when the Rockies joined the National League.

I've been a Rockies fan for 30 years. Their capitulation to this Black Lives Matter Marxist organization breaks my heart that I can no longer watch my favorite sports.

You are not alone, if that's of any comfort. They have poisoned sports because everything the left touches, it poisons. There is no exception to that on Earth since the left began with Marx and Lenin. They were separate generations, but I'm giving them as the originators. I'll have more to say about that in a moment. Oh, and I wanted to talk about coming out. I promised that. Yes, let me come back to— I've talked about sports and coming out as a conservative. Relief Factor is at relieffactor.com, 800-500-8384.

This is Owen Strand for TownHall.com. The recent unveiling of the Republican agenda for a second term gave much encouragement to many who need it. Defeat COVID, create jobs, disentangle from China, provide school choice, teach American exceptionalism unapologetically, defend the police as an institution, oppose human trafficking. These and other measures offer sanity, flourishing, and hope to an embattled country. No agenda can cover every issue. Two outstanding issues need platforming, however: religious liberty and abortion. The Trump administration has taken stands on both of these momentous matters and to good effect. In days ahead, though, supporters of religious liberty and the unerasable humanity of the unborn The unborn need more support, not less. Religious liberty, after all, is for this gloriously free society the first freedom. Among other righteous ends, it enables a diverse coalition of many voices to speak on behalf of the unborn until the murderous abomination of abortion is a distant memory. I'm Owen Strickland.

Meanwhile, you have Joe Biden saying during an event at Grace Lutheran Church in, uh, in Wisconsin, quote, a Black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison. Close. You feel that guilty that Thomas Edison now, he needs to be taken down a few notches? Thomas Edison now needs to be canceled? Nobody's mad at Joe Biden for making this false statement, but you let Donald Trump pass along some statement that somebody else made, my goodness, Donald Trump peddling conspiracy theories. Joe Biden has lied for decades, decades about his civil rights record. When I was a teenager, 17, 18 years old, I would go to Black churches and we'd sit down and talk about how we're gonna move. Organized to desegregate lunch counters and, uh, and movie theaters in Wilmington, Delaware. No evidence whatsoever that he did that. And don't go by me, go by New York Times. You know, New York Times, paper of record, the one that hasn't endorsed a Republican since 1956. That paper lied for decades, lied and said the NAACP has endorsed me every single race. NAACP puts out a statement. Actually, we've never endorsed you at all because we're a 501(c)(3). We can't do that. Well, you know, I, I got arrested trying to, trying to visit Nelson Mandela when he's imprisoned under apartheid South Africa. I was with Andy Young. Andy Young says, you kidding me? No, we— I didn't get arrested, and then neither did Joe Biden, by the way. Joe Biden says he was in the streets of Soweto when he got arrested.

That's 900 miles away from where Nelson Mandela was housed Keep up with what So about coming out as a conservative, I'm very wary about giving advice in general, in your personal life, because I have worked very hard to earn your trust and respect And therefore I know that some people will take my advice, so I am very, very careful. The caller earlier from the Wisconsin-Minnesota border, I believe that was the area, had an effect on me. I mean, he's a teacher, he's 30. If he lets on at all, he will be ostracized, potentially fired. But if not fired, certainly ostracized by most of his colleagues. Most teachers today are cowards and sheep. It's very sad for me. I was raised to believe the teacher is the highest title a human being can have. But, uh, the left has disgraced the teaching profession. It's become a fraud. There are some exceptions, obviously. So I then got another call from a woman who's 50, and she just decided after a break from Facebook she's going to just say, this is who I am. Defriend me, hate me, it's your choice. I'm not going to hide who I am. I believe that every conservative should take that position. However, to do it in a way that it makes it hard to lose your job. It won't make it hard for you to make enemies. But if enough do it, then the people who are wavering might come aboard. I am aware, I know of a person, a doctor, who came out with her views. Tremendous object of hate on the internet, and she told me that all it did was bring her unbelievably wonderful people into her life that she never would have met if she didn't come out with her healthy values. So there is an advantage too. You— it's not only disadvantages. You will gain enemies, but you will also probably gain friends. And it is better to have 3 friends with whom you share values than 40 acquaintances whom you hide yourself from. All right, Colorado Springs, Michael. Hello, Michael. Dennis Prager.

Good morning, sir.

Hi.

Is it running out there still?

Uh, yes, it is. 13 more minutes.

Okay.

Um, a few months ago when the coronavirus deaths were running around 50,000, uh, caller called in who disagreed with you, and you asked him if you knew that the deaths from coronavirus were going to stay less than 200,000 would you shut down the economy? Well, it's obvious that the deaths are going to hit 200,000. So I want to ask you the same form of question. If you knew that 400,000 people were eventually going to die from coronavirus, what would you do?

I would sue the medical profession for malpractice for not advocating hydroxychloroquine and zinc. I would consider them murderers.

So that's it.

No, that's not it, but that's the first thing I would do. I'm doing it now. I mean, I'm not suing them. They're murdering people because they hate Trump. They have decided to crap on science just as they already have. They announced that it's okay to demonstrate against racism in large numbers, gather together, that's okay, but you can't dine in a restaurant in most of California. 8 feet away from somebody. So it's all a fraud. The science— let me finish, let me finish. The science—

double-blind experiment, yeah, that shows effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine with zinc or anything else you want.

No, I do not know of a double-blind experiment. That is correct. If that is the only criterion, the standard for—

no, I, I put it down.

According to the epidemiologist from Yale, uh, whom I had on the show, and he has like 300 peer-reviewed papers, he's one of the major respected epidemiologists, that that is a phony argument, that that is the only standard for what works in science. So I'm not an epidemiologist, I'm simply quoting— is it's, it's the best. Fine. So sir, let me ask you a question. If you came down with COVID would you take it?

No.

Okay. I would follow the advice.

I would—

I—

well, I would not.

No, no, you would not follow the advice of your doctor. You'd only follow the advice of a doctor who said not to take it. You would not follow the advice of thousands of doctors who say do take it.

I'm sorry, I misspoke, sir. Um, I would talk to my doctor about what to do, and I followed my doctor's advice.

Right. One doctor. You wouldn't even go for a second opinion. You wouldn't listen to a doctor who thought it would save your life. You know, do you know how— wait, let me ask you a question. Do you know how safe it is? You're right, you did. So I'm asking you another one. Do you know how safe it is?

Um, actually, I don't. I know that for—

why don't you? Why don't you?

I'm sorry, can I finish my—

yes, you can.

I know for malaria it's very safe, but I don't know for the symptoms of, uh, COVID-19, whether safe or not.

So it's safe for lupus and it's safe for rheumatoid arthritis. For 50 years you could take it daily. That's okay. But if you come down with COVID it might kill you. I'm not mocking you. I just want to restate—

I didn't say it would kill you. I just said I'm not— I don't know whether it's safe or not. I don't believe it's true that a drug that's safe for one condition is necessarily true for another Right, so the doctors— Maybe you can show me the data.

Well, I can. If you go to what Dr. Richel has written, if you go— if you check the internet, the amount, the number of doctors who swear by this is quite substantial. But because the president advocated it, science whored itself, prostituted itself, They have lost my respect, just as when thousands have said it's safe to demonstrate against racism but it's not safe to dine together in a restaurant. The medical profession has prostituted itself, I am sad to say, just like everything else touched by the left.
