Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis and Julie delve into loneliness and finding kindred spirits.  Dennis discusses his trip to Denmark.  Julie shares her transition from college to professional life.  How many books have you read since being in school? The best way to solve loneliness in life is find good people... it's more important than being surrounded by lots of people.  Finding meaning in life is more important than amusing one's self.  Amusement is the enemy of deepness.  Dennis has the revelation that he is an "explainer" in life.  Your strength is also your weak point.  The key is to strengthen your weaknesses and not rely on your strength. Parenting matters... there is no perfect way to parent... you must do what's right.  Trying to make your kids happy or trying to be loved at all times... is not right.  Acknowledging your "dark side" and not acting on it... is a key to happiness.   Learn more about Lear Capital at http://learjulie.com.

Dennis reflects on Veterans Day… The Left believes we should let “experts” tell us how to live. It begins with education… A trans person who is, shall we say, quite heavy wins a pre-Miss America beauty contest in New Hampshire… Don’t compare America to utopia… “Experts” are saying that we should bring back face masks to the classroom — to prevent the flu. Sick.  Dennis returns to a major happiness theme. A key to happiness is to find kindred spirits. We all need them to get through life.  Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: You are successful but what about other people who are trying and have low expectations; My son was on the Stand with Israel tour and he met the love of his life; What do you think happened to Columbia University since the 1980's; I was not able to see my grandfather during the lockdowns! He passed away in 2021; Honoring your parents when you don't share the same values Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The existential threat to America does not come from fossil fuel, it comes from the Left. The only way to save the country is to make a persuasive case for Judeo-Christian values of truth, justice, goodness, and beauty… Dennis talks to Elaine Parker, Chief Communications Officer for Jobs Creators Network… The more data we have, the more it appears Sweden had the best Covid policy.  Dennis talks to Steve Cortes, former CNN political analyst and advisor to President Trump. Where did Republicans go wrong on Tuesday? Why did they underperform? What do they need to do to regain their momentum?  Michael Walsh, screenwriter, best-selling author and political commentator. Former music critic for Time. His new book is Against the Great Reset: Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order… Why did abortion play such a big role in Tuesday’s election? How did the polls miss it? Oregonians and New Yorkers had a chance to make a statement against soft-on-crime Democrats. They blew it. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The Republicans went into last night very optimistic; they left depressed. The “Red Wave” didn’t happen… We are truly divided nation. If you want to live in a place with conservative values, you have to live in a red state.  We live in the States of America. We are not united… Abortion played a much bigger role in yesterday’s election than most polls anticipated… Dennis talks to Julie Kelly, columnist for American Greatness.  Republicans assumed that Independents and some Democrats would turn to Republican candidates. The Democrats have so messed up our cities and now our nation in the last two years, it seemed like Republicans would have their moment. They didn’t get it.   Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Mark Davis guest hosts for Dennis… Does the future of the country rest on this election? Why in the most technically sophisticated country in the history of the world does it take days and maybe weeks to get election results?... If Trump decides to run for President, will any Republican challenge him? Callers have thoughts.  The Republicans clearly have a chance to score a major victory today, but the polls tell us that every important race is going to be close. If they are and its days or weeks before we get the results, will Americans’ faith in the process be irreparably shaken?  The only way to be sure of victory is for Republicans to win decisively, to overwhelm any attempts the other side might try to “alter” the final tally… What issues have the Dems been running on? Great economy? Low crime? They have nothing. Maybe that’s why they’ve been hysterically screaming democracy will end if conservatives win… Is abortion going to turn out to be a big voting issue for Democrats or a dud?

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… Why do we fear freedom? Carl confronts this perplexing question. Isn’t freedom what all human beings aspire to? The answer is: only if they are able to accept responsibility for their actions. Many people shrink from that.  The Lockdown Left wants us to forgive and forget. “We all made mistakes at the height of the Covid threat. We’re sorry. Now let’s move on.” No way. It wasn’t one lie, it was dozens. People lost businesses; their life’s work destroyed. Kids were kept from schools for no good reason. We need a full accounting of what happened, who was involved and why. Only then will we consider forgiveness.  Crime is out of control across the country, but especially in big cities, all run by Democrats… City residents are angry, unhappy and afraid. The Democrats remain clueless. They won’t change their soft-on-crime policies. Will they pay a price at the polls on Tuesday?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie delve into an exploration of the "hook up" culture.  What would happen if men and women could switch brains?  What do peoples living habits reveal about them?  When dating... what are your immediate turn offs?  Dennis recalls a conversation with Charlie Kirk about wearing a tie.  Dressing up affects the way you feel, and the way people treat you.  Dennis has observed that people back-in-the-day dressed better for baseball games than they do for church today.  Is it empowering for women to be scantily clad?  Do men know how to represent masculinity on dating apps?  Do men load the dishwasher improperly on purpose?  People are packages. If you could ask God one question about economics... what would it be?  Are there any institutions that can be trusted now?  If you speak the truth, you do not need to censor the opposition.  Learn more about Lear Capital at http://learjulie.com.

John Hinderaker guest hosts for Dennis… John warns conservatives that they can take nothing for granted… We can’t trust the polls when they are bad for us; we can’t trust them now that they look good. The answer is to go out and vote on Tuesday… John talks to Arkansas senator, Tom Cotton… John talks to Republican candidate for Minnesota governor, Scott Jensen. John talks to renowned New England columnist and talk show host, Howie Carr… John continues his discussion about the upcoming elections. What are the Dems doing wrong? And what are the Republicans doing right?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Mark Isler guest hosts for Dennis… The President, the White House and the entire Administration have been a complete disaster for America. From their radical social agenda to their anti-energy policies, they have turned away from the will of the people. Let’s hope they pay a price on Tuesday… Citizens who have serious doubts about the propriety of the 2020 election are not “election deniers.” They are simply skeptical — and they have a lot of good reasons to be — that the election was conducted fairly.  We are very fortunate that the men who wrote our founding documents were so wise. But we are in danger of losing touch with that wisdom. The Left wants to move the country in the opposite direction of our founding principles — toward ever bigger government.  Mark ventures his predictions re: Tuesday’s election. That assumes, of course, that we have fair elections. These days it’s hard to be sure. The Democrats have become very skilled at cheating. Callers weigh in.

Dennis and Julie delve into travelling.  Julie travelled to Washington DC for a Hillsdale conference and met with Justice Clarence Thomas.  She is discovering that conservatives are both nice and smart.Dennis recalls having the same realization growing up in a liberal Jewish New York ghetto and then moving out. Dennis shares his experience with a black Uber driver in Philadelphia.  E Pluribus Unum is on every coin… and nobody knows what it means. The conservative community is an intellectual America-loving and accepting group. While the Left is focused on demographics, the Right is focused on ideas.  Having a degree does not guarantee clear thinking.  The issue isn’t qualifications… it’s common sense.  America isn’t a beacon of liberty anymore. Can we trust the upcoming elections?Learn more about Lear Capital at http://learjulie.com.
