Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Claudine Gay rushes to the race card to explain why she lost her Harvard job. The board of that once august institution is as responsible for its decline as its ex-president… Dennis talks to Peachy Keenan, former studio writer, now conservative commentator and full-time mom.  She presents the newest PragerU video, “Wife, Mother, Extremist.”  Another major study concludes that there is no significant racism in the criminal justice system. Yes, there are disproportionate number of blacks in prison, but that’s because blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime... CA extends medical coverage to illegal aliens. Will that encourage or discourage more illegal immigration?... The Administration is giving millions to radical environmentalist groups who also happen to be pro-Hamas.  Dennis talks to Philip Wallach, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. His new book is Why Congress? Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Mark Davis guest hosts for Dennis… Mark speculates about what’s ahead of us politically.  It appears Trump has a commanding lead in the primaries. Do DeSantis or Haley have a chance to overtake him?... If Trump is nominated is there anything the Dems won’t do to stop him?  Our Southern border basically doesn’t exist. We’re not enforcing our immigration laws. What is the Biden Administration’s objective?... Would Nikki Haley be a good or bad choice for VP, if Trump was the nominee?  Isn’t the key to the next election independent voters? How would Trump, or anyone Republican, get their vote? Can any Republican, especially Trump, pierce the media “end of democracy” hysteria machine…. The Dems approach is clear: it’s Biden v. Hitler.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast. To hear the entire three hours of my radio show as a podcast, commercial-free every single day, become a member of Pragertopia.

Israel is an island of decency in a sea of moral corruption. Everyone knows this. But many are afraid to say it, cowered by the left into silence… Paul Krugman, NY Times columnist, lives in leftist fantasy world in which the left has very little influence over our institutions…  Ohio governor Mike DeWine embarrassed himself and the Republican Party when he vetoed a bill banning transition surgery for minors… An Alaska senator goes back to his alma mater, Harvard, and is shocked at what he finds.  Harvard continues to defend its morally bankrupt president. Dennis wishes them luck. The more discredited the Ivy League appears in the public eye, the better… Then, almost on cue, Claudine Gay, the Harvard president, resigns. She served only a short time, but managed to do a lot of damage.  Dennis revisits a classic Prager theme. The most important question any society can ask is: how do we make good people? It sounds easy, but it’s very hard. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on May 30, 2023.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie discuss the importance of enjoying what you do.  Getting yourself into more than you think you can handle can lead to great things.  Push yourself… be ambitious.  You can live a full life, or a safe life… not both.  Taking silly risks is bad… but conversely, waiting for “safe” can be paralyzing.  Dennis talks about his son’s sobriety – his son said that hitting rock bottom was when he stopped blaming others for his problems.  The victim mentality is a cancer in our society.  Do new year resolutions work …what are Dennis and Julie’s?Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a secular holiday, but it can meaningful if you make resolutions. Dennis talks about three categories of resolutions – health, happiness and character.  We defeat ourselves before we start because we think that if we can’t keep our resolutions, why start? But if you make a resolution and keep it for, say, three months isn’t that better than doing nothing? Dennis’s mom calls in with a suggestion on how he could improve in one area.  Why not make a resolution to act happy, or, how about this, not to be unhappy this year? This would not only affect your own happiness; it would affect your health and character… Callers tell Dennis their resolutions. A Best of Prager Hour.

The Secretary State, a Democratic partisan and former ACLU activist, unilaterally kicks Donald Trump off the Maine ballot. She’s convinced he’s an “insurrectionist.” But he’s never been charged with “insurrection,” let alone convicted. No one has… Mike DeWine, Ohio’s Republican governor, vetoes legislation banning transgender surgery on minors. What a disgrace.  Is the state of the country and the world making you less happy? If so, what can you do to make yourself happier? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers.  Issues raised include:  my child no longer talks to me because I did not help with his student loans; if Donald Trump is the nominee will you vote for him; how did Eastern religion get their wisdom; I found the best stereo equipment; God gave us freewill and that’s why evil exists.

Professors at the U. of Minnesota want the United States to be returned to the Indians… Dennis wrote a column almost two decades ago for the Los Angeles Times about antisemitism on college campuses… Even the NY Times is getting worried about uncontrolled illegal immigration… A San Diego Mosque broadcasts pure antisemitism.  After Christmas over $1 trillion of items were returned. That’s five times the rate four years ago… Dennis talks to Ami Horowitz, video journalist. He went to San Francisco State to raise money to kill Jews.  Do you know anyone who suffers from eco-anxiety? According to a journal from Yale, it’s causing mental health problems. Our universities are the new insane asylums. And we send our kids there. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

An obese woman buys two seats for herself on a flight. But gets grief when she won’t turn over her second seat to a squirmy toddler… A Christmas Day massacre took place in Nigeria. The murderers weren’t white, or colonialists or Jews, so the UN doesn’t care… The Air Force believes “wartime” preparedness depends on DEI. Since when?  Dennis opens the lines to callers to raise any subject on their minds. Issues raised include: is traditional dating a thing of the past; is porn addiction a serious issue; is everybody a candidate for marriage.  The Left and truth are like oil and water. They don’t go together… Jesus was not a Palestinian. There was no such thing as a Palestinian when Jesus was alive. The de-Judaization of Jesus is a sure sign of antisemitism.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie celebrate how wishing someone a Merry Christmas IS inclusive… and lament how paralyzed people have become… they don’t know how to respond to “Merry Christmas.”  NBC did a documentary on Prager U …mainstream news is so distorted.  Julie shares: “Theses or Feces” University administrators are so unimpressive.  The height of narcissism is one saying that having a Christmas tree is not inclusive.  You are unhealthy if you do not like Christmas.  People live in extremes… purity is a bad aim… but people dream about it.  Good actions are better than pure thoughts.Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
