Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

The Democrats are about to pass a massive spending bill which is just a smaller version of the Green New Deal. It’s absurdly called the Inflation Reduction Act, but there is no chance it will reduce inflation. In fact, all it will do is raise our energy costs.  Is there a correlation between political views and happiness? Dennis has theories. So do callers.  Issues raised include: is “Judeo-Christian values” a fair term… Dennis talks to Jenny Nohelty, Director of Legacy & Special Gifts for PragerU.  She works with donors who want to remember PragerU in their Legacy Plans.

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… The Democrats have shown us their cards. They want to obliterate the American way of life. Republicans can’t think about compromise because the Dems have no interest in compromise. Time to stand firm… The new Biden spending bill will weaponize the IRS against Dems’ opponents.   The new Biden spending bill will be a disaster for small business… What is our foreign policy? Does anyone know?  Republicans have a good chance of getting back the House in September. The party should come out with a plan. And then hold themselves to it. No empty promises… 61% of Americans are living pay to paycheck. The price of gas and the price of food is making life harder for most of us. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

There were primaries in Missouri, Arizona and Michigan yesterday. The results were mixed, but mostly positive… On the Left, America is bad; Communism isn’t… Electric cars might be great, but they’re not Green… George Soros defends spending millions to get “reform” prosecutors elected in the Wall Street Journal. His arguments are incoherent.  When a man marries, he sacrifices his desire for other women to his spouse. This act of sacrifice is a simple fact that is rarely acknowledged. It should be.  Yet another study suggests that masks don’t work. They are splash guards, not viral guards. You can’t mask out a virus… Dennis returns to George Soros’s justification for his support of soft-on-crime prosecutors.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie discuss the desire to always keep learning.  Strive to do what you love for a living.  Passionate individuals are infectious… the passionless are boring.  Dennis did it his way, unafraid of the pressure to conform to societal norms.  They lament the effects that masks have had on public interactions.  The politicization of everything in society has killed social relations.  Is Facebook fading in popularity… replaced by Instagram?  Social media has crushed human to human exchanges.  Is social media more detrimental to females?  How do you protect children from the harmful aspects of social media?  Shabbat provides a solution… having no screen time is beneficial for kids.  What’s the fascination with posting food pics?  If you’re not interesting, you’re not interested… you’re not bored, you’re boring.  One way to avoid boredom is to find a way to make things fun.  Dennis talks about his childhood… traveling alone at seven years old.  Romantic behavior is great, romantic thought is dangerous.  Love is love… it doesn’t matter who it comes from.

Dennis was never a big Florida fan. After spending a week there, he is now. It’s much closer to the USA he knew and loved than his home state of California… Portland continues its downward spiral… Two black women attack another black woman, accusing her of being white and a Trump supporter. But black can’t be racist?  Dennis always assumed everyone wanted to be happy. But that turns out not to be true. Do you know anyone like that? And how do you deal with them?  I am a violent offender convict, and I am  against defunding the police;  Do you think God judges our actions by our intent or outcome?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
