Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

A murderer slaughtered eight people at an outlet mall outside of Dallas. How do you explain all these random killings? Do we need more gun laws or more fathers?  Prince Charles is now King Charles. He was coronated on Saturday. All the great British traditions were on full display… The Constitution and the 2nd Amendment are very clear. Americans have the right to gun ownership. If the nation wants to change that, we need to change the Constitution… When the Left says it wants to teach black history what does it mean?  A former Marine intervened when a mentally ill homeless person threatened passengers. The Marine is now — according to the Left — the villain of the drama. AOC has declared the Marine to be a murderer. The left is waging a war against goodness.

Dennis and Julie lament the degradation of intellect and society.  Does it matter if you go to a prestigious university or is it more important that you are intelligent?  Having a book collection has gone the way of the dodo, but it’s crucial to be well read.  Having hobbies is a sign of being well adjusted.  Learning a new language is a great way to broaden your understating of language, history, and the world.  Bringing people to the good is a mission both Dennis and Julie believe in, but is it worth covering eye-catching salacious topics to achieve a larger audience?  The story of Rev. Kiyoshi Tanimoto after Hiroshima on This is Your Life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should we worry about Artificial Intelligence and programs like ChatGPT? Dennis has concerns… Men with their sexual organs are being housed in a women’s prison in New Jersey. Female prisoners are understandably terrified… How can a girl feel that she’s really a boy? She has no idea how boys think. The same is true in the other direction… A black man executes two whites in Oklahoma just because they were white. Did you hear about this news story? Almost certainly not. Why not?  What does it mean to love yourself? Is it even a good idea? Is it better to like or respect yourself? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers.  Issues raised include:  I do not agree with you about homeschooling; which do you think is a higher value sincerity or gratitude; not taking revenge on people but showing love instead of hate; kids in schools have to sit at a desk for hours versus being at home; do not agree with you about not wanting to know politicians personal things; I am young and want to run for office and just need advice; where are you getting that Jan 6th people are political prisoners; is there still prophecy?

Florida Republicans pass bills on pronoun usage at schools, ban on diversity programs.  A 12-year-old at was allegedly sent home from school and told he’s making people feel unsafe for wearing a shirt that read “there are only 2 genders.”  Dennis searches for example of the terms “hardline progressive” and “secular extremism” …and finds none.  A common narrative is that liberty and equality have been advanced primarily when America’s leaders embrace progressive manifestations of religion or reject faith altogether.  Mark David Hall joins Dennis to discuss the role Christianity has played in advancing liberty and equality for all citizens.  His book: Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land demonstrates that Christianity is responsible for advancing liberty and equality for all Americans https://a.co/d/6BybTKJ After a 26% loss in revenue, the Anheuser-Busch CEO supposedly disavows the Dylan Mulvaney snafu … but takes no responsibility for it at all.

Bud Light sales are down 26%. Let this be a lesson to corporations (stay away from woke) and conservatives (we can use our buying power to send a message).  How many men go out with their male friends and leave the spouse at home? Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the marriage? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers.  We put ourselves at risk for heartache every time we choose to love someone. This even includes pets… The Navy wants to recruit drag queens.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Truth is the most important value. Nothing works without truth as its base… Colleges across the country are conducting separate graduations, dividing students by race and sexual identity… Children’s hospitals promote “gender affirming care.” Tragic.  Is working from home a plus or a minus for most people? Callers present strong arguments on both sides of the question.  In Deuteronomy, Moses tells the Israelites not to hate an Egyptian “for you were a stranger in his land.” The Israelites were subject to a terrible form of slavery. The Egyptians threw Hebrew male babies into the Nile at the command of the Pharaoh. What is the Bible telling us here? Is this advice applicable to today?

Has anybody thought of this? EV’s are much heavier than gas-powered vehicles. Thus, they are much deadlier in a crash situation; i.e. more people will die. Even the Biden Administration acknowledges this. They just don’t care… Truth is not a left-wing value. The NY Times has no compunction about lying about Tucker Carlson… or anyone else.  A NJ high school student committed suicide after being falsely accused of rape. But The NY Times doesn’t get to this critical information until 21 paragraphs into their article.  Alaska Airlines is forced to conform to a ACLU-backed lawsuit. It must abolish gender-specific flight attendant uniforms… Chuck Todd believes that we should let kids determine their sexual identity… Dennis talks to Melissa (Mel) Hawley. She was at the Capitol on Jan 6. She’s now helping J6 prisoners. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Sue’s beloved Otto died, and while Dennis laments society equating animals and humans… he reflects on this palpable loss.  The experience made Dennis realize that people choose pain to live a fuller life.  Thinking about one’s own death… helps one to live a fuller life.  Inspired by G.K. Chesterton, Julie shares the significance of stories, fairy tales, and mythology… how they shape countries and individuals, and that sharing them helps to pass on values and teach connections with the past.  We live in a society where unpleasant facts are not to be acknowledged.  Topics include: the ear is deeper than the eye; the story of The Four Sons; Kamala Harris now believes in “climate anxiety”; Americans …we have manufactured all our problems; confrontation …how far do you go in private life exposing your values? As a public figure should you be private about your dating life; in what area of life do you strive to be excellent; For Goodness Sake – do people care about being a good person; dating dress codes; healthy honesty in the sexual realm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The case for sending your kid to a public school is getting weaker and weaker as the schools continue to push their woke nonsense on students. The case for homeschooling, in contrast, is getting stronger and stronger. Callers weigh in.  If you can’t be mind-directed, then all advice is useless. Yes, you can talk yourself into a happier state of mind.  Issues raised include: you never mention humor in your happiness book or hour; why is no one counteracting the pro-choice agenda; the lust in the heart argument from Matthew 5, you lie regarding Pragertopia, that it is commercial free; do you understand the New Testament DOES NOT REQUIRE a Sabbath; you say sports is the only place merit lives; the devolution of the dress code at work.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

One hundred Harvard professors have united to protect freedom of speech. This is good news, That it needs to be done is bad news… No more “boys” and “girls” in a Vermont school district. Why would any parent keep their kid in these schools?  Tucker Carlson made his first public statement yesterday. He was oblique about his future plans but was clear that he will make his voice heard… Parents have been placed in a terrible position. They now have to worry that their local public school is warping their child’s mind.  Julie Hartman fills in as Dennis rushes to catch a flight to Phoenix… The Biden Administration is obsessed with “gender-affirming care,” a made-up term. Do people really believe children can confidently define themselves?... We live in an era of great injustice. The issue is not racism. The issue is protecting children.
