Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis and Julie start with the power of the ear/hearing… the importance of sound, and Dennis ponders if the eye/sight is intellectual?   They explore the power of memories… audio recordings, old films, pictures, and home videos.  People live in their present… they do not know the end of the story… that’s why it’s important not to judge people outside of the context their time.  Other topics include: funerals versus celebrations of life; nonconfrontation of difficult reality; Numbers 15:39; lower taxes equals smaller government and smaller government equals less evil; the wise one is the one who sees consequences; Sowell’s - stage one thinking; good and evil; Adam and Eve… and the serpent.Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CA is giving money to a non-profit to promote gender confusion. They’re doing it with our tax money. It’s a total disgrace… Masks are coming back — in blue states… The Georgia “call” is the new Charlottesville — totally distorted by the Dems and their media enablers.  If you did not talk to your parents for a period of time and then resumed talking to them, what changed? How is your relationship with your parents now?  Issues raised include:  of all the callers on the happiness hour, not one mentioned that it was political; I have three teenage girls dressing inappropriately what can I do; you should do cigar reviews for the places you visit; is it wrong to indict a former president; hat do you think the advantages are of a mirrorless camera versus a DSLR camera; what is your opinion on letting your mind control your emotions?  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Julie Hartman guest hosts for Dennis… A 12-year-old was kicked out of school for having a “Don’t Tread on Me” patch on his backpack. The origin of the patch is the Revolutionary War and has nothing to do with slavery. When the school learned this (you’d think they would have known), they reversed their ban. This incident says a lot about our education system.  Julie talks to legendary New England journalist and talk show host, Howie Carr. His new book is Paper Boy: Read All about It.  What was really behind the Maui fires? Global warming, bad forest management or sheer government incompetence?... Julie talks to Xaviaer DuRousseau, PragerU personality and Host of Guess or Mess at PragerU Kids. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

California’s Attorney General doesn’t want parents to be notified if their child goes trans. He’s suing to make it so. The contempt for parents on the left knows no bounds… 1600 scientists have signed a letter in which they conclude global warming is not a reason for sky-is-falling hysteria.  The judge in Donald Trump’s Washington DC indictment has set a trial date of March 4. That happens to be in the middle of the Republican primaries… Florida Democrats absurdly blame Ron DeSantis for the three murders in Florida. Is there anything they don’t blame Ron DeSantis for?... Dennis talks to Noelle Fitchett, a PragerFORCE member in Texas.  Do things happen because of luck or God’s will? Are those our only two choices? Dennis has answers. So do callers.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The Green Hysterics make their hysterical claims and then (a month or a year or two) later they are refuted — by facts. For example, we were told global warming was responsible for the fires this summer in Greece. Then, it turns out that the fires were set by arsonists. There are many other examples… The Yale police chief and the police union get into a scrape: is New Haven safe for Yale students?  Dennis talks to Dr Mary Bowden, physician at Houston Methodist Hospital. She has been battling for doctor and patient rights since the beginning of the Covid lockdown.  There’s a department of Fat Studies at a Canadian university. It’s as absurd as it sounds… The President makes another demagogic statement on race. This is not a good person. He’s fomenter of division…Dennis talks to PragerFORCE member Jacob Eyres from Southampton, England. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Tropical Storm Hilary shut Los Angeles down like Covid… for what amounted to heavy rainfall.  People believe the news rather than what they see with their own eyes.  Inspired by Carl Trueman’s book: The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution… Dennis and Julie discuss the age of feelings and gender confusion.  Does a future with A.I. scare you?  Stalin, Mao, the evils of communism …we have it so good… people can’t even be bothered to hear about atrocities.  We are unable to deal with tragedies and have discomfort when confronting sad realities…  i.e., interacting with people with disabilities.  Dennis laments the horrors of the Russian civil war… ignorance is no excuse… if you do not hate communism, you do not understand the evil of it.  Other topics include: race hoaxes; Prager U in schools; Ideologies are luxuries; Carol Swain’s new book The Adversity of Diversity; non-existent microaggressions; good and evil is everything.Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The left was salivating at the idea that they could get a mugshot of the former president. In typical Trump fashion, he turned a humiliating moment into a triumph, taking the greatest mugshot of all time… Is it the Left’s strategy to make sure that Trump is the Republican nominee? Maybe. If so, it’s very risky.  Did your childhood prepare for adulthood?  Issues raised include: does Dennis test the products he personally endorses; is there a way to arrange the Happiness and Male/Female Hours to recreate the arc of a relationship; Dennis talks to Ethan Lewis, a PragerFORCE member in New Zealand.

Mark Davis guest hosts for Dennis… Republican presidential contenders debated in Milwaukee last night. Mark evaluates their performances — who gained, who didn’t. Meanwhile, President Trump talks to Tucker on X. Over 100 million tune in. What does that tell you?  Putin’s chief rival dies in a mysterious plane crash. The real mystery is that he lasted as long as he did… India lands an unmanned probe on the south side of Moon. In contrast, Russia’s moon craft crashed and burned.  Republicans have lots of options to choose from re: who’s going to be their candidate for president. But whomever is chosen, be it Trump or anyone else, we can only win the general, if everyone gets on board. A split party is a dead party. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
