Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

In Joe Biden’s (and the Democratic Party’s) twisted worldview, the bad people are the ones who want to stop kids from being swallowed up by transgenderism. The Pope strongly disagrees with the President… Is vaping as bad as smoking?  Do all women get sexually harassed sometime during their lives? What is the best response to harassment? Callers have stories.  Stanford Law has gone full Yale. Law students shout down a conservative judge. The law school’s reputation is being ripped to shreds by its leftist student body and administration...

Silicon Valley Bank, the favorite bank of the tech set, went boom over the weekend. They were preoccupied with the wrong green.

The topic is last night’s Academy Awards… Dennis talks to CJ Pearson, new PragerU personality. Dennis talks to Karol Markowicz, columnist for the NY Post.

Julie reviews with  Dennis some of the biggest questions she pondered while reading The Rational Bible.  While striving to know God is a noble pursuit… knowing God is not what matters most… knowing what God wants is.  If you think people are basically good, you will be a less happy person.  Exploring outer space is fantastic... equally fantastic is exploring inner space.  Ignorance is not bliss... it may be bliss temporarily, but not over a lifetime.  It is true that faith without works is dead... but works without faith ultimately die as well.  Male sex drive is so strong …would the world function if it were less powerful?  Topics include: God lives outside of time… time is relative; knowing your own nature is fun; God and human suffering; how do we know God chose the Hebrew people; Abrahamic religions; replacement theology; God's promise... the holiness of Israel, does God know the future... if so, how to account for freewill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biden’s budget follows the simple Democratic Party formula: more money, more government, more debt. Somehow this is supposed to improve the economy. Meanwhile, our tax rates now equal or are greater than those of Western Europe... Who is more ungrateful? Colin Kaepernick or Ilan Omar? Tough call… Idris Elba doesn’t get the obsession with skin color.  The Tenth Commandment is the only “thought commandment.” Dennis explains why the other nine commandments rests on it. Of all thoughts, envy is the most destructive and dangerous to happiness. It’s a sister to ingratitude.  Dennis talks with Elise Galvin a Prager Force member in San Antonio.  Issues raised include: should I add a LGBTQ badge to my business; my nephew is gay and is getting married and I’m not sure what to do; you are a Marxist criticizing Blackrock when they are capitalists; why do schools interview kids about transgenderism?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Amala Ekpunobi, PragerU personality and host of the podcast Unapologetic sits in for Dennis… Amala tells her fascinating personal story; how she moved from the left to the right… A Minnesota judge says a biological male can compete against women in powerlifting… The goal of a young person (everybody, really) should be to get closer to the truth.  Reparations have become a big issue again. This is baffling. Reparations will solve nothing, even if you could figure out way to distribute it (you can’t).  The black community has much more serious problems to deal with… What is behind the social contagion of transgenderism?  How many people understand what police go through every day to protect us from the bad guys? There is a thin blue line between order and chaos. We forget this at our peril… Nobody despises a bad cop as much as a good cop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julie Hartman sits in for Dennis.  Arguably the most consequential topic of our time – our relations with China.  Monday Xi Jinping bluntly rebuked the US, saying that there’s a Washington led campaign to suppress China: “Western countries – led by the US – have implemented all round containment, encirclement, and suppression against us, bringing unprecedentedly severe challenges to our country’s development.” Julie examines the growing conflict.  21 states have legalized recreational marijuana since 2012 and teen mental health problems have been on the rise in the same period.  The 40,000 hours of surveillance footage held from the public, has raised some interesting facts about January 6th.  Many of us are sick of this and want to avoid it but we cannot… the media has lied about it and exploited it for political gain.  Whatever it was, it was not a “deadly insurrection” as the legacy media so carefully described it… truth is not a left-wing value. It never has been.  Julie surveys the long and tortured history of America’s involvement in Iraq, spanning the administrations of both Bush, the elder, and Bush, the younger.  It’s a mixed bag of lofty ambitions, stunning liberations and naive miscalculations.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The “it” is the truth about January 6. Whatever it was, it was not a “deadly insurrection” as the legacy media so carefully described it… Truth is not a left-wing value. It never has been.  Another detransitioner explains how should get pulled into the cult of transgenderism… Dennis resumes his discussion of what really happened on January 6… Dennis talks to Lindsay Ronning, a PragerU Kids homeschooling mom. She’s homeschooling six kids and using PragerU material.  You can despair about the state of your life and/or the state of the country, or you can fight to make things better. Those are, essentially, your two choices. Which one you choose says a lot about you. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie continue the discussion of great people and delve into belief.  Belief in science is not a replacement for religion, and belief in religion is not a rejection of science.  This is the one-year anniversary episode of Dennis & Julie.  Do you invite bad people into your life?  Dennis’ four requirements a great person must be… courageous, pursue truth, have no need to be loved, and be an outlier.  Julie’s three requirements a great person must be … principled, have a higher set of values, and be self-doubting yet self-assured.  Topics include: should everyone aspire to be great… can everyone be great; macro vs micro greatness; the war in Ukraine; Micah 6:8 - to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God; we are made in the image of God; the word “should”; how did life come from non-life; how did we get here; Leftism and wisdom are antithetical.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael Knowles, Daily Wire podcaster, and host of the PragerU Book Club, called for the end of transgenderism. For this he was accused by Media Matters and various other leftists of calling for the genocide of all transgendered. It’s just another attempt to smear a conservative with a lie… Want to make a better world? Start by telling the truth… A judge in Minnesota says a male-who-thinks-he’s-a-woman powerlifter should be able to compete against women.  The great Heather Mac Donald documents how colleges and universities have been taken over by radical, feminist women. We see the results and they aren’t good.  Hershey’s uses a transgender woman as their spokesperson for International Women’s Day. The Daily Wire reacts by starting its own chocolate company — with nuts. It’s off to a great start…  Dennis talks to Jenny Nohelty, PragerU’s director of Legacy and Special Gifts… The Washington Post still wants you to wear a mask in crowded places.
