Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Queen Elizabeth is dead at 96. She was a symbol of national unity in Great Britain and the personification of dignity and grace… Not suprisingly, those on the radical left are celebrating her death, some with vicious tweets.  Dennis builds on his theme from last week: people who can’t release their anger at their parents. This week Dennis asks: why is it so hard to forgive parents and move on?  Issues raised include: can wisdom be taught; what’s the most important thing you must do if you want to communicate effectively; would Dennis ever consider writing a Rational Bible commentary on the New Testament.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The left has no relationship with truth. The latest example: Mediaite writes a very misleading headline re: Dennis’s commentary about how nice people can belong to an evil movement…Dennis talks to Thomas Di Lorenzo, professor of economics at Loyola College in Maryland and a senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute. His new book is The Politically Incorrect Guide to Economics.  An Irish teacher is charged with a crime for not calling a student by their preferred pronoun… The French Revolution with its obsession with “equality” has proven more influential than the American Revolution with its focus on individual liberty… Dennis talks to Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, producers of the new movie “My Son Hunter.”  The UK is caught in an energy crisis. Pubs are threatened with widespread bankruptcy. They can’t pay their electric bills. Do the English know who is responsible for this unnecessary crisis? The situation is not any better in Germany… Dennis talks to Nick Eberstadt, Senior fellow of  Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute. His new book is Men Without Work: Post-Pandemic Edition. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

We barely have enough energy to power air conditioners during a California heatwave, but we expect the entire state to drive electric cars by 2035? Where is the power going to come from?... 25% of Democrats say that men can give birth, according to a new poll. That number goes up if you isolate female Democrats and goes up more if you isolate female Democrats with a college degree… Are women more susceptible to brainwashing than men? If so, why?  The hosts of the leftist podcast, The Young Turks, mock Dennis’s latest column. But in doing so, they end up unintentionally mocking themselves.

What is a MAGA Republican? What is the difference between a Republican who voted for Donald Trump and a MAGA Republican?... The U. of Minnesota Medical School incoming medical students take an oath decrying “white supremacy, ableism, and colonialism…” among other woke sins. A children’s hospital in Chicago encourages children to come out as non-binary. What seven-year-old ever said the word “non-binary” five years ago?... Having pride in America and reverence for the Constitution is now considered “dark” and “fear-based” by the Democrats and the president.  Dennis talks to Dr. Mark McDonald, psychiatrist. His new book is Freedom from Fear: A 12 Step Guide to Personal and National Recovery.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie delve into both definitions of optimism.  It is crucial in society for boys to have, and for men to be father figures. In Meghan Markle's new podcast 'Archetypes' she interviews Serena Williams, and they discuss the labels and boxes women are put into.  Are claims of sexual assault overstated to promote victimhood status?  Dennis never liked the campaign slogan “hope and change…” does America need major change?  Dennis and Julie disagree on “gay marriage.”  People on the Right are more accepting of opposite viewpoints than people on the Left.  The Left’s rhetoric is so powerful that people are doing things against their own nature.  Leftism makes you a worse human being… it’s ruining people’s natures.  Most evil is ideological evil.  We know the consequences of too much religion… we are learning the consequences of too much secularism.  Religion is humbling… humanism is arrogant.  Which came first …bad values or the Left?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What was the theme of President Biden’s very bad speech? “If I can get half the country to fear the other half, then I’ve done my job. And the NY Times will love me.” Biden did not offer a single example of how President Trump impaired democracy during his term. His singular obsession is January 6, a stupid riot by some stupid people. This is the Dems “Reichstag fire”: a simple reference to January 6 and you can say or do anything to your political opponents… Dennis plays clips from the speech and comments.  A lot of people carry anger at one or both of their parents. Until you let that anger go, it’s very hard to be happy. What prevents you from letting it go? Callers react.  What if your parents are not honorable, how should you honor them; Do you find the phrase to “Jew someone down” offensive; Will you eat plant-based bacon?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Julie Hartman guest hosts for Dennis… As a self-admitted history nerd, Julie draws attention to the fact that no one can predict the future. And the future can tilt toward the good or the bad… The Left loves to manufacture problems like “white supremacy” and then pretend to solve them… A courageous woman in Seattle stands up for small children who were being ogled by a pervert. In our bizarro world, she’s the one who catches the heat.  In the UK, over 90% of the people who are dying of Covid have been vaccinated. Is it time to question whether the vaccine is doing any good?... Julie talks to Heather Mac Donald, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.  Is America exceptional? If it is, why? Julie explores these questions. The answers are more complex than you might think. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

This was a phrase that was very popular liberal slogan during the George W Bush administration. But liberals didn’t mean it. Dissent is patriotic only if the dissenters are on the Left… In California if a doctor disagrees with medical orthodoxy on Covid treatment (or anything else), he can now lose his license.  Is one sex superior to the other? Does it simply depend on the context? Or can one generalize? Dennis has theories. So do callers.  Twitter trolls have worked up a storm attacking Dennis for his column this week. The column is entitled “Women Are Disproportionately Hurting Our Country.” Naturally, Twitter feminists went nuts. But did any of Dennis’s critics read what he wrote?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis reviews his favorite words in the English language. He explains why they mean so much to him.  “Like” and “earn” are two. Callers have their own lists.  Novak Djokovic, the greatest tennis player in the world, can’t get into the US to play in the US Open because he refuses to be vaccinated. This is a national embarrassment...  Dennis talks to PragerForce member, high school student Madison Posadas.  Are women the cause of many of society’s most serious problems? Dennis has thoughts.
