Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Hundreds of teens rioted in downtown Chicago this weekend. The city’s incoming mayor says we shouldn’t “demonize” the thugs. They’re not responsible for what they did… Don’t buy Anheuser Busch and Nike products. They are working to destroy our society and our children.  The new mayor of Chicago declares that we shouldn’t condemn the rioters, we should condemn the corporations who are making a profit from “black, brown and white people.”… We will soon see the end of the internal combustion engine car? That’s clearly what the Biden Administration intends… Yale University hosted a virulent anti-Semite. Anyone surprised?  Americans have a chance to make a clear statement to Budweiser. We won’t buy your beer if you promote views which are so obviously contrary to our Judeo-Christian values… Dennis talks to Owen Anderson, professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State U. Sadly, ASU is moving left. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Most people believe what they want to believe… and do not believe what they do not want to believe.  Julie recalls her visit to her eye doctor where she was honest about hiding the truth of her consumption.  Dennis asks the question: what do you believe that you do not want to believe?  The reason most people in the U.S. believe that people are basically good is because Americans have had it good… where people suffer, they do not believe people are basically good.  Americans are spoiled, and lack religion… will America prevail, furthermore, is it arrogant to believe so?  It is a luxury to think you do not need God in your life.  Topics include: using the word “cohort”; masks; abortion; adoption; speaking properly matters; “I” versus “me”; heartrending versus heart-wrenching; bored vs boring; A Flag Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of National Symbols - Tim Marshall; language and travel; The Story of Language -Mario Pei.

Authorities have arrested a 21-Year-Old “gun enthusiast” for leaking defense department intelligence about US efforts in Ukraine. Had this been a Trump War, he would be hailed as a hero. Since it’s a Biden war, he’s a traitor… Feminists are animated by anti-male loathing, not a commitment to women… In Ireland, Biden announces that the world is ending soon… The Left destroys everything it touches. The American auto industry might be next.  You can poison yourself and your chances for happiness if you nurse resentments — for your parents, your co-workers, for people “who have more” than you.  Issues raised include: how do you deal with the revelation that your husband is now your wife; how seriously should we take State Department travel warnings.

Amala Ekpunobi guest hosts for Dennis… Amala reflects on what it was like to “transition” from leftism to conservatism… Why are we letting children make permanent life-changing decisions about their lives? They’re children, for goodness sake.  A Florida State professor fabricated crime statistics to make racism appear worse than it really is. It’s hard work to make the US look racist.  There is so much noise in our world today that it’s more important than ever to find a quiet place — a time and location where we can think without being distracted by the inputs from our multiple “devices” — computers, iPhones, TV’s.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Mark Isler guest hosts for Dennis… Mark considers how far and fast the country has fallen in the first two years of the Joe Biden presidency… Callers weigh in.  Republicans are going to continue to get bullied and buffaloed by the Democrats until they return fire. Metaphorically, we’re talking eye for an eye.  What is the good of having principles if you don’t honor them? Mark relates his own personal story of standing up against a teachers strike… Only with competition will public schools get better. Right now, they’re mostly a disaster.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Bob Frantz guest hosts for Dennis… Republicans must hang together or — to paraphrase Ben Franklin — they will hang separately. The Democrats, to their credit, never deviate from their chosen candidates. The Republicans must do the same or 2024 will not turn out well.  Anheuser Busch has seen sales plummet after they announced that they had made a man who pretends to be a woman one of their influencers…  Speaking of influencers, the White House has announced that it has hired dozens to persuade young voters to support Joe Biden. How do conservatives reach young people? PragerU anyone?  It’s very hard to debate the issue of gun control. For example, what is an assault rifle? Answer: there is no such thing. It’s a term without a definition. How can we ban something that doesn’t exist? Guns are not the problem. Bad people with bad values are the problem.

Julie Hartman guest hosts for Dennis… A major intelligence leak has embarrassed the US and exposed weaknesses in Ukraine’s military efforts against Russia… China is rattling sabers at Taiwan. How serious is this action? Why should we care about Taiwan?  The Left has resumed their smears of Justice Clarence Thomas. This time they’re trying to get him on private jet trips with a close friend and prominent conservative. Once again, the smears have no basis. Doesn’t matter to the Left… Russia has arrested an American journalist. What is Putin’s game here?  Nike uses a man to promote a sports bra. The UK has a TV show in which adults undress in front of children. CA takes funding away from a school that won’t follow the state’s woke transgender guidelines.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

For Julie and Dennis being authentic is of tantamount importance… and it takes a great deal of effort.  It’s an insecurity to not be “real.”  Is there truth in advertising?  On the day Solzhenitsyn was arrested, in 1974, he released the text of “Live Not by Lies,” an essay regarded by Julie as one of the most substantial writings of the 20th century.  Can you think of a Left-wing public broadcast that makes people more mature and helps develop a healthy psychological perspective?  Johnathan Haidt describes a study in which he examines how well liberals, conservatives, and moderates understand each other in The Righteous Mind.  What is prayer …and it important to you?  Julie asks Dennis questions about the Rational Bible, topics include: circumcision; father son rivalry; ethical monotheism; God’s promise to the Hebrew people; Abraham bargains God down to ten people… Sodom and Gomorrah; arguing with God; don’t hug the Rabbi.

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… The rule of law died in America this week. A former president was arraigned for an unspecified crime… Carl explains how the classic five stages of grief are the key to understanding the future of the conservative movement.  We can moan and groan all we want about the Dems and their tactics, if we don’t focus soon how we’re going to win in 2024, we will lose. Doesn’t matter who are nominee is… Carl talks to economist Steve Moore. Our near-term economic future does not look bright.  Loving babies, loving free speech, loving the rule of law, wanting to be energy independent, not worrying about global warming — these are reasonable positions. Not being able to define a woman, agitating to give hormones to 10-year-old kids, fighting for abortion on demand — these are extreme positions. We are the moderates.
