Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

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.

Former President Donald Trump was arraigned yesterday in NYC. But for what? The charges are not clear. This is a political hit job and nothing more. Our justice system is now an international embarrassment… Dennis talks to Voddie Baucham, dean of the School of Divinity at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia. His most recent book is Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe.  Did you or your spouse experience a mid-life crisis? If so, what was the cause? Callers have stories.  Dennis talks to Vivek Ramaswamy, best-selling author and entrepreneur. He’s running for president… We have another clarifying moment: where do you stand on the indictment? If you believe it is fully justified in law, you’re on the left. If you think it’s a farce, you’re on the right… Tonight is Passover. Sunday is Easter. Dennis reflects on their significance.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

We have reached a point where “it can’t happen here” is happening. The charging of a former president and leading candidate on manufactured charges is the stuff of the Soviet Union.  Ask yourself this question: what do you want to believe? Now these questions: is that why you believe what you believe? Does your belief have a close connection with reality or is it merely wish fulfillment?... The Dems attack is not on just on Donald Trump. It’s on America.  Does God have common sense? Does God regard the stealing of a stapler from an office the same as He regards the molesting a child? Some religious people say sin is sin.  But doesn’t that suggest that human beings have more common sense than God?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Julie and Dennis explore maintaining integrity.  Meeting great people through being a public figure with conservative values has been a blessing in Dennis’ life.  They address a NYT’s article, Private Dinner Party - Clothing Not Allowed: The Füde Dinner Experience gathers those who want to meet, eat and drink - only after leaving their clothes at the door.  Self-love …what is it?  Unconditional love… is fine for an infant, but not much else.  Media reporting has changed over the years, more pictures, less words… more opinion, less facts.  Was John Hersey the father of this new emotional appeal style of reporting?  Women have a proclivity towards bisexuality and men have a proclivity for polygamy.  A fellow student at Harvard once told Julie, while bragging about cheating… “life is a game… you win or you lose, and everyone is playing dirty, so you better do whatever you can to win.”  Is expressing morality perceived as a sign of weakness today’s woke society?  Do you believe what you say… or do you simply say things to fit an agenda or to garner attention?  CA Gov. Gavin Newsom mandated some of the strictest mask laws in the country, meanwhile attending a dinner at the French Laundry maskless.  For Dennis… “there is no sum of money that could get me to lie!”  How can one be genuinely proud of one’s accomplishments if one doesn’t achieve them through one’s own merit?  For Julie… “in today’s society one’s impulses are condoned, not controlled!” Are dignity, modesty, and humility dead?

The ends justify the means for the Left. If it suits them to call any criticism of George Soros antisemitic, they will. Soros was born Jewish but doesn’t identify as a Jew. Isn’t your self-identity everything to the left?... Why is Trump charged with 34 counts?  Alvin Bragg’s office is supposedly shorthanded. That’s one reason he lets so many criminals go unpunished. But when it comes to a former president who happens to be a Republican, Bragg finds plenty of personnel to do his dirty work… Dennis talks to Alan Dershowitz, legendary Harvard Law Professor. His new book is Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Donald Trump has been indicted by the NYC DA, Alvin Bragg. The ostensible charge is a campaign violation, but the real reason for the indictment is entirely political. We have entered banana republic territory.  Giving in to despair can't make you happy. It's also a victory for the forces of darkness. Being happy is act of defiance.  Issues raised include: does every generation rise to the fight evil: can two members of same sex actually be “married.” Dennis talks to Emily Ariens, PragerForce member from Australia.

It’s understandable that those who identify as transgender harbor anger. They will never be fully accepted by society. They are pretending to be a sex they’re not… The President meddles in Israel’s internal affairs. He wants a left-wing government there — and everywhere.  New York women are getting together to have dinner — naked. Would they admit a transgender?... Chicago will choose a new mayor next week. Both candidates are on the left, but one, backed by the teachers union, is more left than the other… Dennis talks to Olivia Rutowski, a PragerForce college student in Buffalo, NY.  Dennis talks to Michael Doran, Senior Fellow at the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East at the Hudson Institute. The topic is the Iran, China, and Russia alliance and what it means to the US and Israel… Dennis returns to naked dinners in NYC… A politician’s policies and values are more important than his personality.   Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The left is in the process of turning the Nashville Catholic school murderer into a victim. The killer pretended to be a man. That makes her a de facto victim, no matter how horrible the crime she committed.  How many men require virginity in their prospective spouse? Is this still a thing or just a thing of the past? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers.  In Ontario, Canada 2+2=whatever you want it to. Shockingly, math proficiency is in decline in the province. The left destroys everything it touches. Math is no exception… Dennis talks to Leo Sellarole, PragerForce member and student at Liberty College. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Another terrible school shooting took place in Nashville yesterday. A woman who calls herself a man murdered six people, including three small children. The legacy media like the NY Times twisted itself into knots trying not to “misgender” the killer… Dennis talks to Avery Puls, PragerForce high school student.  AOC released a doozy two days ago railing against “cisgender heteronormative patriarchy.” Dennis talks to Eugene Kontorovich, professor law at George Mason. The topic is the Israel Supreme Court controversy.  What does it mean to be conservative? Callers weigh in.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Julie and Dennis bounce off the news story of a de-transitioned teen suing Kaiser Permanente for performing a double mastectomy on her at the age of thirteen, claiming 'intentional fraud.' Dennis asks Julie if a percentage of her generation are aware of how crazy we’ve become?  We're living in an age of madness… the speed with which people accept the absurd is astonishing. Julie answers that they are bombarded by the never-ending woke onslaught.  There is resignation to take a stand, tuning out is easier… they know things are absurd, but cannot emotionally process how badly they’ve been screwed.  They have been deprived of religion and patriotism, and drowned by wokeness, substances, and social media.  What has happened to our trust of doctors and the medical system since the Covid lockdowns and the advent of gender affirming care?
