Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Half the country has lost faith in the FBI as a non-political institution. It now acts like the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. This is a terrible development and very scary…Dennis talks to Dan Henninger, columnist for the Wall Street Journal and member of the paper’s editorial board.  We are in the middle of a non-violent civil war. It will be settled this time by people moving to states that align with their values… Are people angrier than they have been in the past?  Dennis talks to Jill Simonian, Director of Outreach for PragerU Kids, on-camera personality for Otto's Tales story time & kids shows… We’ve gone from teaching our children self-control to teaching them self-esteem… Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Imagine if Trump had sent the FBI into Hillary’s home… the “mainstream” media would have gone apoplectic.  Denmark has announced that people under the age of 18 are no longer allowed to get the COVID vaccine.  Julia Spies, a PragerFORCE member, joins the show.  She has really enjoyed being able to have deep conversations with PragerFORCE friends about politics, philosophy, faith, and so much more.  What have you learned about the opposite sex through marriage?  In his fiftieth book, The Price of Principle: Why Integrity Is Worth the Consequences, Alan Dershowitz—#1 New York Times bestselling author and one of America’s most influential legal scholars—explores the implications of the increasing tendency in politics, academia, media, and even the courts of law to punish principle and reward partisan hypocrisy.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The Left believes the FBI is a weapon of mass destruction for destroying their opponents. They raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida on Monday as part of an investigation into his handling of classified information…   “What is the difference between this and Watergate…,” said Trump.  California is no garden of Eden. It is now over-woke… both the rich and poor are fleeing.  Gavin Newsome is good looking… that’s it.  Bad progressive policies have tarnished the once golden state.  An 80-year-old woman was permanently banned from her YMCA pool after demanding that a transgender employee leave the women’s locker room.  Oklahoma Sooners assistant coach Cale Gundy resigns after reading aloud 'shameful and hurtful' n-word.  Seijin Shirotori, a member of PragerFORCE, joins Dennis.  Why are so many young people non-religious?  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie discuss being vulnerable in today’s culture.  Does having a hobby require a certain level of vulnerability?  Dennis observes that while men rib each other… women do not.  Hook up culture benefits one sex… and it isn’t women.  Men desire variety, how can that lead to monogamy?  Is sex before marriage a sin? Dennis believes there are gradations of sin… all evil is sin, but not all sin is evil.  The prevalence of marijuana use in society continues to rise.  They discuss using marijuana versus alcohol.  Dennis watched an episode of Real Housewives and Naked and Afraid much to Julie’s surprise.  How much of reality tv… is reality?  Surrogacy is miraculous, but is it being misused.  Conservatives understand how liberals think, but liberals have no clue how conservatives think.  Dennis regrets saying one thing in 40 years of broadcasting.  Have Dennis’ views changed in 40 years… “Am I conservative or am I just logical!”  Forget political affiliation… does it make sense?

The Democrats have proudly passed a massive new spending bill and then have the nerve to say it will reduce inflation. And now I have a bridge I want to sell you… Dennis talks to Adam Carolla, comedian and popular podcaster. His new book is Everything Reminds Me of Something: Advice, Answers...but No Apologies.  Los Angeles has come up with a truly suicidal new homeless plan: force hotels to house the homeless… Dennis talks to Orpha Berry, a homeschooling parent who uses PragerU materials…Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The Democrats are about to pass a massive spending bill which is just a smaller version of the Green New Deal. It’s absurdly called the Inflation Reduction Act, but there is no chance it will reduce inflation. In fact, all it will do is raise our energy costs.  Is there a correlation between political views and happiness? Dennis has theories. So do callers.  Issues raised include: is “Judeo-Christian values” a fair term… Dennis talks to Jenny Nohelty, Director of Legacy & Special Gifts for PragerU.  She works with donors who want to remember PragerU in their Legacy Plans.

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… The Democrats have shown us their cards. They want to obliterate the American way of life. Republicans can’t think about compromise because the Dems have no interest in compromise. Time to stand firm… The new Biden spending bill will weaponize the IRS against Dems’ opponents.   The new Biden spending bill will be a disaster for small business… What is our foreign policy? Does anyone know?  Republicans have a good chance of getting back the House in September. The party should come out with a plan. And then hold themselves to it. No empty promises… 61% of Americans are living pay to paycheck. The price of gas and the price of food is making life harder for most of us. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

There were primaries in Missouri, Arizona and Michigan yesterday. The results were mixed, but mostly positive… On the Left, America is bad; Communism isn’t… Electric cars might be great, but they’re not Green… George Soros defends spending millions to get “reform” prosecutors elected in the Wall Street Journal. His arguments are incoherent.  When a man marries, he sacrifices his desire for other women to his spouse. This act of sacrifice is a simple fact that is rarely acknowledged. It should be.  Yet another study suggests that masks don’t work. They are splash guards, not viral guards. You can’t mask out a virus… Dennis returns to George Soros’s justification for his support of soft-on-crime prosecutors.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Today is Dennis’s birthday. Naturally, he has reflections… Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan. Why did she go? No one from the Administration seems ready to answer that question. We don’t have enough tension in the world today?... The World Economic Forum doesn’t want you to own a car.  In the last five years, China has become less and less free and more and more belligerent toward the US… Dennis talks to Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU.  People tend to be preoccupied with intelligence. But intelligence leads nowhere if you don't have common sense and clarity. In short, “brains” aren’t that important. Almost everyone is intelligent enough to handle life well.

Dennis and Julie discuss the desire to always keep learning.  Strive to do what you love for a living.  Passionate individuals are infectious… the passionless are boring.  Dennis did it his way, unafraid of the pressure to conform to societal norms.  They lament the effects that masks have had on public interactions.  The politicization of everything in society has killed social relations.  Is Facebook fading in popularity… replaced by Instagram?  Social media has crushed human to human exchanges.  Is social media more detrimental to females?  How do you protect children from the harmful aspects of social media?  Shabbat provides a solution… having no screen time is beneficial for kids.  What’s the fascination with posting food pics?  If you’re not interesting, you’re not interested… you’re not bored, you’re boring.  One way to avoid boredom is to find a way to make things fun.  Dennis talks about his childhood… traveling alone at seven years old.  Romantic behavior is great, romantic thought is dangerous.  Love is love… it doesn’t matter who it comes from.
