Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis and Julie delve into music… it is generational.  Julie’s Spotify list is changing as she ages.  Dennis believes classical is best and doubts anything at the top of iTunes would hold his interest.  Ben Shapiro showed up at a Podcast Movement event; the organizers apologized for the trauma his presence caused.  Words like trauma and pain are overused by the Left.  Dennis couldn’t stand small talk on a date… he’d have rather discussed human suffering and evil.  On his radio show Dennis talked to Jon Mellis, a January 6 political prisoner who has been in jail for 19 months and has never had a bail hearing, let alone a trial.  The believer in God has to account for the existence of unjust suffering; the atheist has to account for everything else - Milton Steinberg.  Does God know what decision you would make, furthermore can God be saddened by that choice if he already knew?  Do people really, truly believe the United States is systemically racist, or that climate change is an existential threat?  What percentage of attractive women think they are attractive... do they really believe they aren't?  Surely, if you do right, there is uplift. But if you do not do right Sin crouches at the door; Its urge is toward you, yet you can be its master - Genesis 4:5-7.  What would Jesus think of the New Testament?  The Left suffers from cognitive dissonance.  Today's criminals are not held responsible for their actions... but the founding fathers are.  If you vote Democrat... you are voting to destroy America.  Having high expectations for humanity… leads to disappointment.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new study suggests that Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan will cost not $300 billion, but $1 trillion. What’s $700 billion between friends?... California and Washington won’t allow gas powered cars to be sold after 2035. And for what? A vanishingly small lowering of temperature — maybe.  Dennis talks to Jon Mellis, a January 6 political prisoner who is in jail in Washington, DC. He has been in jail for 19 months and has never had a bail hearing, let alone a trial. Isn’t this in clear violation of Bill of Rights — the right to a speedy trial and the prohibition against unreasonable bail?  A Mickey Mantle Rookie Card sold for over $12 million. Dennis’s brother once had that card — until mom threw it out… Canada is spending $100 million to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community… Secular + Affluence = Boredom leads to Leftism… Dennis talks to Xaviaer DuRousseau, PragerForce member. He has a dramatic transformation story. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The Democrats say that President Trump pushed for fast approval of the vaccine by the FDA before the 2020 election. Presumably, the current president would never have done such a thing. But if the vaccine is so wonderful, shouldn’t President Trump be praised?…  White college educated voters is the new, core constituency of the Democrats… The Washington Post shames parents who don’t accept that their kids are trans…  If you can’t express who you are, you can’t be happy. You need to be able freely express what you think.  Is it okay for married men to experience lust when they see a beautiful woman; are good people divided into different groups.

The President has wiped out student loans for millions. It will cost half a trillion dollars and that’s probably the low estimate. What about the suckers who actually paid off their loans? Or the people who didn’t go to college because they didn’t want to take on debt? Dennis was at LAX yesterday where they still require masks, but, according to Dennis, very few are paying any attention… Dennis talks to his producer, Allen Estrin, who is also the Executive Director of PragerU… Penn Medical school will no longer require MCAT’s of certain minority group.  Dennis talks to legendary journalist, Kenneth Timmerman. His new book is And the Rest Is History: Tales of Hostages, Arms Dealers, Dirty Tricks, and Spies… If you can get people to believe that men are women, you can get them to believe in anything.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Carl Jackson sits in Dennis and focuses on negative rights versus positive rights... government health care is nice, but you do not have a guaranteed right to health care.  If it's given by the government... it can be taken away.  Carl is joined by Julie Kelly of AMgreatness.com to discuss the conviction of two men for conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020,  and a possible Trump indictment.  Joe Biden canceling up to $20,000 of student loan debt per borrower.  Carl sorts through the daily onslaught of bad news.  The police officers were rehired, charges dropped: How efforts to punish police for Rayshard Brooks’ death failed.  Have we reached the point of no return with respect to the political divide in America?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

American Express has gone full woke. They’re hardly alone, but that hardly makes it any less depressing. It’s a revered American company…  Despair is the only emotion that is not allowed in the fight against the Left… Dennis talks to Cicely Davis, candidate for the fifth congressional district in Minnesota. She’s running against Ilhan Omar.  A Beverly Hills boutique bans masks. Why? Thieves have been robbing stores while wearing masks… How long will people continue to wear masks. There is no evidence they work... Dennis talks to Mark Shavitz, PragerU donor in Las Vegas.  There is rational and irrational evil. If you rob a store, that’s evil, but it’s rational. But there are certain eruptions of evil that make no sense. The mutilation of children by “sweet” doctors is one example. Are there diabolical forces loose in the world?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

One may have a messy desk and a clear mind.  How DO you to spell Nietzsche?!  Dennis and Julie delve into their high school athletic experiences, and both agree having coaches toughens you up.  One of the greatest traits you can teach your child is resilience.  Affluence has made us weak...we’ve taken America for granted.  People despair… the importance of the sabbath is more crucial than ever.  Julie has genuine fear for the future of the United States, and Dennis has learned that to despair is a sin.  What helps with despair?  Boston Children’s Hospital has released a video: Children Know They Are Trans ‘the Minute They Were Born.’  Are liberals a bigger problem than the Left... is the bully or the bystander the bigger issue?  Judaism is based in law, Christianity in faith... these gifts are also the curse of each religion.  If you aren't on the Left, you’re a fascist... this binary thinking lacks courage.  The Left’s brainwash is effective, and most effective in big cities.  Dennis explains that the Tower of Babel from Genesis is always mentioned with “the city attached to it.”  Big cities, masks, and protesting provide anonymity.  Anonymity foments lawlessness and doesn’t breed kindness.  The secret weapons in combating despair are knowing history, belonging, religion, and fighting... you don't have to have a microphone... small things matter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday Dennis recorded the first of a series of lectures he’s doing for The Daily Wire. He’ll be covering big, timeless themes like the consequences of secularism… 600 physicians, almost all women, sign a petition asking the media not to report on or talk to those who hold a pro-life position. They say the science is settled. What science?... Dennis talks to Amala Ekpunobi, host of the Unapologetic podcast for PragerU.  Dennis talks to Jared Kushner, senior advisor to President Trump. His new book is Breaking History: A White House Memoir.  Yale joins the mutilation of innocent children club… While the US goes forward with these hideous practices, the UK backs off. They’ve come to realize how destructive it is. When will we?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

A flash mob loots a 7-Eleven store in Los Angeles. This sort of crime now barely makes the news. Violence has been normalized… Cities are dying as the result of lawlessness. San Francisco, Portland, and Cleveland are good examples…  Michael Hayden, former CIA Director, says Republicans are the "most dangerous force" he’s ever encountered. This is a manifestation of that dread disease, TDS.  Have pets become a substitute for having kids? They are certainly a lot less trouble. But is there a happiness loss involved in the tradeoff?  My friend's kid got asked at his school what his pronouns are; The divinity of the number 40, an important number in the Bible; Can you elaborate on the three K's in Nazi Germany; In MN they are offering 10,000 per child if you homeschool; In an AAA meeting it is tradition to wear a tie to show respect.  Dennis talks to a PragerU mom in North Carolina.

The Left lives for chaos. If it doesn’t exist, the Left will create chaos. It’s obsession with Donald Trump is a perfect example: Russia Hoax, two absurd impeachments attempts, now the unprecedented Mar-a-Lago raid… Dennis talks to Elaine Parker, Chief Communications Officer for Job Creators Network about the absurdly named Inflation Reduction Act. Boston Children’s Hospital is engaging in the worst kind of medical malpractice — encouraging transgenderism… Dennis talks to Ava Kosoy, PragerFORCE member in Plano, TX.  Dennis talks to Blake Masters, Republican candidate for Senate in Arizona... The difference between left and right is not merely a difference in values; it’s a different perception of reality. The gap between the two sides is not bridgeable at this time.
