Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Left and Right live in different worlds. Here’s a new example. The most common question Ezra Klein, NYT left-leaning columnist, says he gets at speeches and on his podcast is “should I have children in a world that’s burning up from global warming?” This is only a question for those on the Left. Last night Dennis debated the question, are people basically good? Dennis talks to Douglas MacKinnon, former speechwriter for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. His new book is The 56: Liberty Lessons From Those Who Risked All to Sign The Declaration of Independence… Parents will do anything to keep the love of their children, including compromising their values.

Tells you how bad it must be in San Francisco for this to happen… Dennis talks to Robert Spencer, Direct of Jihad Watch and a Shillman scholar at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. His new book is The Critical Qur'an.  Men are taught to control to their nature, but women are not taught to control their nature. If you could do it over again, would you have raised your daughters differently. Dennis questions whether having pride in one’s sexuality is a proper thing to feel… he takes no pride in being male.  Five Tampa Bay Rays players declined to wear LGBTQ Pride-themed jerseys over the weekend.  The players opted out of wearing the rainbow-accented uniforms citing religious beliefs.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

A California teen who rammed car into mother and infant child was on probation at time of incident.  The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office declined to charge the teenager with assault with a deadly weapon or attempted murder, in accordance with Gascon's policies.  Victor Davis Hanson’s latest column is The Sovietization of American Life.  Dennis is joined by Ilya Shapiro, who was at the center of a prolonged debate over cancel culture and campus intolerance and resigned from his Georgetown Law Center position Monday shortly after being reinstated from a lengthy leave.  No issue has a greater influence on determining your social and political views than whether you view human nature as innately good or not.  Why do people believe that people are innately good?

We have always had a lot of guns. Until recently crime was down. Shootings were down. Now they’re up. Could social breakdown (software) be more important than hardware (guns)?... The Washington Post publishes an expose of “White Christian Nationalism” The writers say these Christians worship violence. The writers’ explanation?

In Texas a convicted murderer who had been sentenced to life imprisonment escapes and murders a family of five. Had he been executed; these innocent people would be alive.

And “Experts Say.” Or “Follow the Science.” Democrats hear these terms and stop thinking. It’s no longer necessary… 17 liberal/leftist Nobel Winners in Economics told us not to worry about inflation.  Dennis talks to Naomi Wolf, noted feminist and best-selling author. Her new book is The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, Covid-19 and the War Against the Human. Her website is DailyClout.io.  Callers react to Dennis’s interview with Naomi Wolf. They have their own stories of mask and vaccine madness… If liberals vote for leftist politicians, aren’t they really leftists? Dennis draws an important distinction.

Leftism is angry at reality. They strive to live in a controlled fantasy world. That means they must control the narrative. But reality always intrudes… The gun issue is ultimately a control issue… A woman in W Virginia saves untold lives when she shoots a man who had opened fire on a graduation party.  Of course, the story is not widely reported. It doesn’t fit the narrative. We clearly have a masculinity crisis. Are we raising our sons to be men? What’s the best and proper way to do that?  Columnists at the major newspapers compete with each other as to which one can say the most foolish things each week.

Dennis was in Boston over the weekend. He found the people there very friendly. How is it that such nice people can elect such bad people to govern them? This remains one of the great puzzles. Niceness works in the micro. It doesn’t work in the macro. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
