Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

The President is obviously mentally impaired. This has nothing to do with politics. It’s an objective fact. Yet the media keeps making excuses for him. It’s getting harder, especially after his G20 performance this weekend… An elementary school hires a drag queen as its principal… The military is now referring to their soldiers as “themself.”  A man runs over an 18-year-old because the teen expressed conservative views. The killer gets five years in prison. The leader of the Proud Boys gets 22 years and wasn’t even in DC during Jan 6… Can you love your child and hate being a mom? Is this what feminism has done to women?  Dennis continues with the theme from the last hour: has feminism distorted our view of the value of motherhood?... The legalization of marijuana has been a policy failure. It will only get worse… The first big lie of the medical community: 50K people die every year of second-hand smoke. Now the medical community is lying about a host of issues. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis asks Julie if she knows any women her age who acknowledge their physical beauty.  Are men/women genuine in their trivial exchanges?  They discuss the importance of looks to women, and the importance of income to men.  Do degrees from prestigious universities hold the same value they used to?  Are we becoming a meritless society?  Does affirmative action have the opposite effect from its intention?  Dennis references Ann Coulter’s piece – “Americans Are Losing Faith in the Value of Higher Education. Why?” and Dara Horn’s book - People Love Dead Jews.  Julie admits her naivety to the extent of antisemitism in the world.  Dennis recalls when dating he wanted to talk about good and evil… Julie’s outlook on finding a suitable partner is bleak.  Can one learn to become deep?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.

President Biden aired a new campaign ad during the first NFL game claiming to “make us energy independent,” meanwhile he’s cracking down on drilling.  From the WSJ - Biden Freezes Alaskan Oil - Interior Secretary Deb Haaland relies on ‘Indigenous Knowledge’ as a legal justification to block drilling.  If you want honey, be prepared to be stung.  If you want to live a full life, it will not be painless.  For example: raising children… it’s worth it… but it has its price.  Making a family requires a sacrifice of freedom.  You can not have it all!  Callers weigh in.  Issues raised include:  I want to inform you about a Shabbat with a drag queen story hour targeting kids; my daughter hates capitalism yet she has been in many advertisement companies; could we split the states in half so we don't have to live with these crazy people; I shared the cartoon you posted on your page and they banned me on Facebook; I am an attorney representing a California School district in a transgender case, and need advice on theology; do you feel that the sentences the Proud Boys received was unfair?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Mark Isler guest hosts for Dennis… It’s a cause for concern that American voters are so easily fooled. Too often glibness passes for substance. We need to be smarter.  The Democrats will do anything to get power and keep it. The jihad against Donald Trump is only one of many examples that make this point.  Should there be some mandatory age limit for politicians? This is a problem on both sides of the aisle.

The Left is destroying life as we knew it.  In California, an accelerated ban on diesel fleets will wreak havoc on the industry.  In Arizona, Biden’s new land grab makes the U.S. more dependent on Russia… no uranium mining near the Grand Canyon.  In Washington D.C., the latest budget figures show that the Biden administration is breaking peacetime, non-crisis records for spending and deficits, with no respite in sight.  Inspired by a cartoon Dennis saw, he discusses women criticizing their husbands. Callers weigh in.  Dennis is joined in studio by Barak Lurie, attorney, and author of several books, his latest: Keeping the Kids All Right: How to Empower Your Children Against the Leftist Agenda —without homeschooling. https://a.co/d/fjo1FJ1  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

People can convince themselves of anything, including that Communism is a workable system or that men can menstruate… Why have Americans lost faith in higher education? Just look at Harvard’s course list… Barack Obama transformed the country — for the worst.  Dennis talks to Julie Kelly, investigative reporter. She has a Substack page — Declassified. The topic is the continued political prosecution of those arrested for January 6 “offenses.”  How do you explain people who say they are religious and do bad things? The standard answer is: they’re not really religious. There’s truth to that, but it’s not the whole story. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie start with the power of the ear/hearing… the importance of sound, and Dennis ponders if the eye/sight is intellectual?   They explore the power of memories… audio recordings, old films, pictures, and home videos.  People live in their present… they do not know the end of the story… that’s why it’s important not to judge people outside of the context their time.  Other topics include: funerals versus celebrations of life; nonconfrontation of difficult reality; Numbers 15:39; lower taxes equals smaller government and smaller government equals less evil; the wise one is the one who sees consequences; Sowell’s - stage one thinking; good and evil; Adam and Eve… and the serpent.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.

CA is giving money to a non-profit to promote gender confusion. They’re doing it with our tax money. It’s a total disgrace… Masks are coming back — in blue states… The Georgia “call” is the new Charlottesville — totally distorted by the Dems and their media enablers.  If you did not talk to your parents for a period of time and then resumed talking to them, what changed?
