Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Texas AG, Ken Paxton, is joining him… There is no indication that Palestinians want peace with Israel. Recent polls confirm this.  Dennis talks to Dennis talks to his friend and fellow talk radio host, Larry Elder. His ne...

The charge that Elon Musk is an antisemite is ridiculous. It’s made by leftists to smear the multi-billionaire. The reason why the left hates him is because he has made X a platform for free speech. They can’t forgive him for that… High school students in Brooklyn march and shout antisemitic slogans... America first should not mean America only.  Dennis continues the theme with which he ended the...

Dennis and Julie discuss getting rid of social media in one’s life.  Social media has its benefits… does it facilitate goodness?  Are you living or posting… or both?  We are more connected than ever… yet loneliness levels continue to rise.  Dennis recommends Julie read The True Believer by Eric Hoffer.  NYT’s columnist David Brooks wrote a piece in Atlantic about the moral crisis in the country… D...

A Canadian peace activist was brutalized and murdered by Hamas in massacre. But Canadian liberals didn’t like the narrative, so they changed it… Why are we giving billions of dollars to Iran? Why aren’t doing everything we can to bankrupt this evil exporter of terrororism? Dennis deconstructs a recent article in Atlantic Magazine about how to achieve happiness. Per usual, callers set the agenda. I...

New York Times columnist David Brooks writes a long piece in Atlantic about the moral crisis in the country. He gets almost everything wrong, especially when he veers off topic to attack Donald Trump.  Dennis continues with the long Brooks article. When Brooks describes how morally preoccupied America was in past years, he makes some very good points.  Dennis talks to Gregg Jarrett, Fox News legal...

300,000 people rallied in Washington, DC to express their support for Israel. It was the largest demonstration of its kind in Jewish history… Chartered bus drivers in DC refused to take people to the rally… Does Israel have the firm support of American citizens?  It’s male nature to want a variety of sexual partners. In order for marriage (and civilization) to work, men must battle their nature. W...

Dennis announces his “Mezuzah Project.”  Dennis talks to renowned Harvard...

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken doesn’t understand the source of hatred that led to the October 7 slaughter. He thinks the old “solutions” are still viable. They’re not… One of the busiest freeways in the world, the 10 in downtown Los Angeles, is closed “indefinitely” after a massive fire, almost certainly caused by a “homeless encampment.”  A bureaucrat in a small Wisconsin town directs its em...

We are living in a morally corrupt culture.  Dennis and Julie review some of the protests and reactions to the Israeli/Gaza conflict in America.  Vivek Ramaswamy went after the RNC and Ronna McDaniel in the 3rd Republican debate.  With the influx of the Muslim population… America is changing, Europe is changing… do most Muslims want Israel annihilated?  How much of our upside-down culture should b...

Tomorrow is Veterans Day. It’s one of the few holidays that hasn’t been shifted to a Monday… Are there any sports stadiums that celebrate our soldiers? Once there many such stadiums…  The Washington Post published a cartoon mocking Hamas and then took it down with the usual sniveling apology.  There's a loneliness crisis in the country. Most people don't have a close friend. What are the consequen...

The third Republican debate minus Trump was last night. Ron DeSantis did well. So did Nikki Haley. Vivek Ramaswamy had strong moments but was unnecessarily cutting. It might have backfired… Republicans need to adopt a pragmatic position on abortion. Perfection is not possible on this issue. Some compromise is necessary for electoral success.  No one is more clear on the Hamas Massacre and Israel’s...

Republicans should have done well yesterday but didn’t. Once again, the issue that motivated Democratic voters to come to the polls was abortion rights… Do Americans really want the Left running the government?... Why is Israel the only country in the world whose legitimacy is questioned?  How many people hurt themselves and damage relationships by thinking there’s “someone better out there”? Denn...

Everyone is at fault in the Middle East… Dennis talks to Kevin Schmidt, director of investigations for Americans for Prosperity.  The topic is energy.  Why do continue to change the clock twic...

Dennis laments the title of his book Still the Best Hope.  People need respites.  If you think you’re always right… you will live an unfulfilled life. It is important to know your own blind spots and trust others who do not share them.  Fame is fleeting.  The differences between males and females are special and necessary.  If you believe it, you can achieve it… this is nonsense.  Guardrails are m...

Dennis spent the week at Jordan Peterson’s Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) Conference in London… PragerU’s new short documentary, “Detrans” has outraged the Left… The Democrats have an antisemitism problem.  Happy people make the world better… The best antidote to evil is happiness… Is there a relationship between happiness and decency?  Issues raised include: about your analysis on hon...

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… Let Israel do what it needs to do. And what it needs to do is to reduce Hamas to an impotent force just like Trump and the US military reduced ISIS to impotence…  How about a cease fire in St. Louis, Baltimore, or Detroit. These places have absurdly high murder rates. They’re all run by Democrats.  The debt bomb keeps getting bigger. It won’t be pretty when it...

Mark Isler guest hosts for Dennis… How do we explain the moral confusion on college campuses? The answer is our education system. It’s been terminally corrupted by leftist ideology. If you subject kids to hour after hour, day after day of leftism, why do you expect them to believe anything else?  Events on the last few years — the Russia Hoax, the lockdowns, the January 6 prosecutions — have shatt...

Bob Frantz guest hosts for Dennis… Why are we funding the United Nations? Why do we host the UN on our soil? It is an antisemitic organization. It has been for decades.  Jewish students at colleges like Cornell, Cooper Union, and others don’t feel safe. Viral videos prove that their fears are legitimate. What are the colleges doing about it? Almost nothing… Where are students who support Hamas get...

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… Diversity is not our strength. But it may be our downfall. We have lost control of our immigration system… A lot of bad actors are coming into the country, and we’re not stopping them. This is not going to end well.  Another political judge insists that President Trump has no right to free speech… Why don’t we hear more about the American hostages in Gaza? It’s...

Does saying one went to Harvard carry the same weight it did two years ago?  Will you pressure your children to attend an elite university?  The cancer of Leftist thought is eroding once respected institutions.  How bad do things need to get before average Americans wake up to the danger of the Left?  Every country has issues… most of the United States’ issues are contrived.  If you are great at s...

The NY Times is in a panic because the Republicans elected a conservative Speaker. The Times accuses Speaker Johnson of “Trumpism,” which is the worst thing you can say about anybody… The only people who fear Joe Biden are conservatives… Everything was better under President Trump. That’s a fact.  Life is a rollercoaster of emotions. To be happy, you have figure out ways to smooth out the ride. De...

Another mass murder. This time in Lewiston, Maine. 18 dead. Many wounded. Why do we have so many murderous crazy people? Dennis talks to David Johnson, DEI whistleblower for Project Veritas. His new book is The Diversity Con: The Secrets and Lies Behind the Shady DEI Industry.  Does it matter if the Maine mass murderer is insane?

Israeli government showed raw video footage of the Hamas massacres to international reporters… Brandeis student government won’t condemn Hamas… It’s very hard for people to stare at evil. It’s not too dark; it’s too bright.  What does your spouse do that drives you, well, crazy? What do you do that drives your spouse crazy? Callers have answers.  A Stanford biology professor announces that we have...
