United Airlines continues to punish pilots and other personnel who refused to be vaxed… There were 300,000 excess deaths during the lockdowns. This is a sharp increase from previous years. This is typical of other nations who imposed strict lockdowns… Illegal immigration has skyrocketed in the last two years. The consequences are being felt now (border towns are breaking down under the strain) and will be felt for decades to come across the entire country.  Did you feel differently when you moved from living together to being married? Callers have stories. Dennis talks to Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State in the Trump Administration.

If there’s a standard, the Left wants to shatter it. The latest: dress codes. Somehow dress codes are now sexist, racist and classist… Boredom leads to nothing good, especially among the affluent… USA Today is sticking to a false narrative and nothing will them shake them for it: the mass murderer in Monterrey Park was a hate crime against Asians. But wasn’t the murderer Asian?  The AntiFa revolutionaries who provoked a riot in Atlanta over the weekend came from out of the state. Almost all had privileged backgrounds… Dennis talks to Kendall Qualls, President of Take Charge. He presents the new video from PragerU, “What America Could Be.”  The religious are accused by the secular as being irrational. But is this true? Or is the opposite true? Is it the secular who are more likely to believe in the irrational?  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie delve into the fact that most things in life require hard work.  What Dennis said that moved Julie’s mother… parents taking credit and blame when it comes to how children turn out.  Rabbi Saks – God keeps the answer secret …otherwise we wouldn’t fight to improve it.  God created doubt.  Is not believing in God a luxury?  Never take the easy way out… it doesn’t exist… it’s trap!  Dennis says… we’re all not special… but he does believe everyone has a gift.  Do you have a gift that you don’t utilize?  Socrates – the unexamined life is not worth living.  One of your biggest goals in life should be… to be an easy person.  Train yourself to react to situations more calmly.  At what age does one begin to think about mortality?  Martin Luther was a crucial figure in developing western civilization and doesn’t get the acknowledgement.  If you don’t how bad it WAS… then you don’t know how good it IS!  Dennis has learned to not reflect on the unanswerable.

The Left doesn’t fight real evil. They fight made up evils like systemic racism, transphobia or global warming… A lot of people on the left have moved to the right because of the lockdowns… Scotland wants to ban all gas cars not only for the cause of global warming, but also for the cause of “equity.” Does anybody know what that means?  Dennis looks back on his week with Jordan Peterson and other religious philosophers analyzing the Book of Exodus… Does the left offer anything analogous to this Exodus discussion panel — this uplifting?... The key to defeating fear is facing fear.  Dennis asks… what did Alec Baldwin do wrong?  Callers let him know.  The “daughter” of Democrat Minority Whip Katherine Clark arrested for assaulting Boston cop during protest.

It’s so much easier to destroy than to create. Creation takes a great deal of time and effort. Destruction can happen in an instant… Gas bag, John Kerry, tells the Davos crowd that we need treat climate change like World War II. As the lives of poor people are destroyed by the unnecessary energy crisis, Kerry will be right behind them, flying around in his private jet.  Human beings are social animals. We need to connect to other people to be happy. Everything in modern society is pushing us away from human-to-human contact. We need to fight against that.  Issues raised include: why are men variety-oriented toward women, but women are not toward men; has Dennis ever called in to a talk show; how does one deal with the death of an adult child.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The Left specializes in hurting children: the obsession with gender, telling them American history is awful, that the world is ending soon because of climate change, and on and on… New Zealand’s “liberal icon” PM steps down. The country got fed up with her stifling lockdown policies.  Inspired by the announcement that New Zealand’s PM Jacinda Ardern will be stepping down, Dennis examines whether leaders need to be liked to be effective.  Nice people can do a lot of damage. Marriage matures you.  Single males are disproportionately responsible for violent crimes, and single females are disproportionately responsible for destructive ideas.  Immaturity and the Left are coextensive.  Callers weigh in.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis reflects on his Daily Wire Exodus discussion with Jordan Peterson. Is there anything comparable on the Left? Does the Left present a positive life path for anyone?... As religion declines do suicides increase? A new study says yes… Des Moines Catholic Church goes anti-Woke.  Are men intimidated by women? Under what circumstances? Callers have thoughts.  A NHL hockey player refuses to wear a rainbow jersey… John Kerry thinks he’s been anointed to save the world from global warming.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Patient died after hospital guards tackled her for her mask being too low, and the jury will never see the video footage after the guards were cleared of charges. Dennis examines Joel Kotkin’s latest column at RCP: The Rise of the Single Woke Female.  The Left doesn’t want you to get married… they lose votes.  Dennis expands on his examination Joel Kotkin’s latest column at RCP: The Rise of the Single Woke Female.  Dennis has a hypothesis for keeping your college age kid from becoming a “woke” adult.  Don’t go to college right away, rather take a job waiting tables in the Midwest for a year and learn humility and service.  Callers weigh in.

Dennis and Julie delve into failure and losing.  An investigation has been launched into top-ranked high schools accused of withholding student's national merit awards.  How has Julie dealt with success; does she know failure?  Life is tough …you should not be raised in a cocoon.  Has Dennis ever failed?  What does it mean to be successful?  Life is complicated and two things can be true at once.  “Splitting” is the failure in a person's thinking to bring together the dichotomy of both perceived positive and negative qualities of something into a cohesive, realistic whole.  The Left reduces everything to absolutes… it’s childish.  Dennis recalls his first job for the Israeli government.  “The only happy people I know are people I don’t know” – Helen Telushkin, and the origin of “happy as a clam.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
