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?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dennis reflects on difficult times in which we live. On the hand, things looks bleak, especially when so much suffering is so unnecessary.

Dennis talks to Elijah Nixey-Paton, PragerFORCE Member in the United Kingdom.  How many women consider themselves to be attractive? Or are almost all women hypercritical of the way they look?

Were you overpraised or underpraised as a child? What impact did either scenario have on your life? Dennis has stories. So do callers.  The San Jose Sharks went full woke last week to celebrate “gender diversity.” Why is a hockey team concerned with “gender diversity?” The team’s goalie rebels. Not surprisingly, he’s religious.  Despite what you might assume, the Bible is preoccupied with the ethical treatment of animals. In fact, the ethical treatment of animals begins with the Bible.

Julie and Dennis dissect the question: at what age do you become who you are?  Do you feel like an imposter?  When “finding yourself” ...who you want to be is more significant than who you are.  You are what you do.  Do good people think they are good people?  Parents are great, but to be an adult you need to separate from them... having healthy adults in your life is crucial ... role models and mentors.  Where have all the mentors gone?  The addict isn't who they are until they're sober.  Circumstance can help form you into who you are… based on your reaction to it.  “The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance” - Viktor Frankl.  Dennis explains the difference between envy and covet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Time Magazine celebrates its 100th anniversary. It’s a long way from its glory days. Now it’s just another Leftist mouthpiece… Yet another race hoax. This time in Sacramento. The hoax phenomena proves how little racism there is in America… Dennis talks to Eyal Carlin, Commissioner of North America for the Israel Ministry of Tourism.  That is what the left does: shout “fire” in the crowded theatre of life. They do it over and over: global warming, systemic racism, transphobia — whatever.
