Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis and Julie discuss God’s role in a world with suffering.  Both Dennis and Julie have family members on the spectrum… how do you reconcile God and Autism?  The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”  The system fails us all… it's how you react that matters.  If you think people in the United States are oppressed… travel abroad!  Most universities were founded based in religion and have become bastions of “wokeness.”  Today state of “woke-ism” equals Spoiled Brat Syndrome.  Americans are the most privileged people on the planet.  The phrase "the personal is political" arose in late 1960s and it underscored the connections between personal experience and larger social and political structures.  Feminist Catharine MacKinnon is falsely attributed with saying "All sex is rape."  It annoys the Left if you don’t have politics at the center of your life.  It’s important to have a rich life outside the realm of politics.  Envy versus emulation.  Dennis shares his encounters with Betty Friedan, Elie Wiesel, and Simon Wiesenthal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dennis is in Miami for the week. Miami is known this time of year for its oppressive heat and humidity, but it’s very livable now. Why? The answer is energy supplied by fossil fuel.  Religious people are dismissed because they have “blind faith.” But there is no faith as blind as that of secular people. Their faith the world is going to burn up from carbon emissions in 10, 20 or 50 years has no religious parallel… Many now have blind faith in the Covid vaccines even though there is more and more evidence that they either don’t work or are unnecessary or even potentially harmful for most people… Dennis talks to Amity Shlaes, Chair of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation and author of Coolidge. She presents two of this week’s three PragerU videos on The Jazz Age Presidents: Harding and Coolidge. The third video is Hoover (presented by Kenneth Whyte).  The US Armed Forces are, like police departments, becoming depopulated.

Are you good if you are simply a nice person? Or takes it more than that?... Elisjsha Dicken, the young man who killed the Indiana Mall murderer, is a true hero and good person… To the left you are a nothing. The state is to take care of all your needs and all your family’s needs. To the right, you are a something. You are responsible to take care of yourself and your family… Dennis talks to Dr. Simone Gold. She’s headed to a federal penitentiary for walking into the capitol on January 6.  LAUSD (Los Angeles public school system) wants to “breakdown the gender binary.” There are so few truly transgender students we must look deeper for a motive of the left’s trans obsession. The answer is found in Marx’s love of a quote from the Goethe play, “Faust.” “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” It’s very hard to build civilization. It’s very easy to destroy it… Dennis talks to Aryeh Lightstone, senior advisor to U.S. Ambassador to Israel during the Trump Adminstration, David Friedman.

Join Dennis and Julie as they discuss the fear of being alone, and the difficulty of finding a partner with your values.  Hook-up culture has killed traditional dating and allows boys to remain immature.  Being vulnerable is difficult but shows great strength of character.  Birthdays are a marker of maturity… exciting when one is young …and a reminder of futility as one ages.  Dining out equals freedom.  In the United States today, sadly, ideology trumps nature.  Julie explains “sub-tweeting” to Dennis.  Why do we never hold secular hypocrites accountable?   We are living in an unprecedently overly secular society – unique in human history.  Dennis’ life mission has been to urge his audience to fully understand the consequences of secularism.  Anyone who says they love ALL of one group… is crazy.
