Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Ukrainian forces have pushed the Russian Army out a good chunk of northeastern Ukraine. Will Putin now give up on his ambitions to annex the country. Not likely. More likely: the war will drag on. For his own survival, Putin can’t lose… He who has the energy wins. China is going all out for coal and laughing as the US and Western Europe commit energy suicide.  Another race hoax and once again the...

Dennis and Julie delve into public versus private conversation... the lack of civility while being confronted in public by the Left.  Julie recounts an encounter she had while on a first date in Venice, CA.  Julie's exchange reminds Dennis to recount a similar experience he had.  What's the best way to deal with unhinged haters?  Aphorisms... they aren't 100% and they aren't making better humans. ...

The state of Connecticut has removed mother and father from all official documents relating to childbirth… The vax does more harm than good to young people, according to a major new report.  The Young Turks resume their attack on Dennis. Of course, they distort almost everything he says. The subject is how nice people can participate in bad causes… Dennis talks to Rabbi Cary Kozberg, Temple Shalom...

Queen Elizabeth is dead at 96. She was a symbol of national unity in Great Britain and the personification of dignity and grace… Not suprisingly, those on the radical left are celebrating her death, some with vicious tweets.  Dennis builds on his theme from last week: people who can’t release their anger at their parents. This week Dennis asks: why is it so hard to forgive parents and move on?  Is...

The latest example: Mediaite writes a very misleading headline re: Dennis’s commentary about how nice people can belong to an evil movement…Dennis talks to Thomas Di Lorenzo, professor of economics at Loyola College in Maryland and a senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute. His new book is The Politically Incorrect Guide to Economics.  An Irish teac...

We barely have enough energy to power air conditioners during a California heatwave, but we expect the entire state to drive electric cars by 2035? Where is the power going to come from?... 25% of Democrats say that men can give birth, according to a new poll. That number goes up if you isolate female Democrats and goes up more if you isolate female Democrats with a college degree… Are women more...

What is a MAGA Republican? What is the difference between a Republican who voted for Donald Trump and a MAGA Republican?... The U. of Minnesota Medical School incoming medical students take an oath decrying “white supremacy, ableism, and colonialism…” among other woke sins. A children’s hospital in Chicago encourages children to come out as non-binary. What seven-year-old ever said the word “non-b...

Dennis and Julie delve into both definitions of optimism.  It is crucial in society for boys to have, and for men to be father figures. In Meghan Markle's new podcast 'Archetypes' she interviews Serena Williams, and they discuss the labels and boxes women are put into.  Are claims of sexual assault overstated to promote victimhood status?  Dennis never liked the campaign slogan “hope and change…”...

What was the theme of President Biden’s very bad speech? “If I can get half the country to fear the other half, then I’ve done my job. And the NY Times will love me.” Biden did not offer a single example of how President Trump impaired democracy during his term. His singular obsession is January 6, a stupid riot by some stupid people. This is the Dems “Reichstag fire”: a simple reference to Januar...

And the future can tilt toward the good or the bad… The Left loves to manufacture problems like “white supremacy” and then pretend to solve them… A courageous woman in Seattle stands up for small children who were being ogled by a pervert. In our bizarro worl...

This was a phrase that was very popular liberal slogan during the George W Bush administration. But liberals didn’t mean it. Dissent is patriotic only if the dissenters are on the Left… In California if a doctor disagrees with medical orthodoxy on Covid treatment (or anything else), he can now lose his license.  Is one sex superior to the other? Does it simply depend on the context? Or can one gen...

Dennis reviews his favorite words in the English language. He explains why they mean so much to him.  “Like” and “earn” are two.

This is a national embarrassment...  Dennis talks to PragerForce member, high school student Madison...

Dennis and Julie delve into music… it is generational.  Julie’s Spotify list is changing as she ages.  Dennis believes classical is best and doubts anything at the top of iTunes would hold his interest.  Ben Shapiro showed up at a Podcast Movement event; the organizers apologized for the trauma his presence caused.  Words like trauma and pain are overused by the Left.  Dennis couldn’t stand small...

A new study suggests that Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan will cost not $300 billion, but $1 trillion. What’s $700 billion between friends?... California and Washington won’t allow gas powered cars to be sold after 2035. And for what? A vanishingly small lowering of temperature — maybe.  Dennis talks to Jon Mellis, a January 6 political prisoner who is in jail in Washington, DC. He has been...

The Democrats say that President Trump pushed for fast approval of the vaccine by the FDA before the 2020 election. Presumably, the current president would never have done such a thing. But if the vaccine is so wonderful, shouldn’t President Trump be praised?…  White college educated voters is the new, core constituency of the Democrats… The Washington Post shames parents who don’t accept that the...

The President has wiped out student loans for millions. It will cost half a trillion dollars and that’s probably the low estimate. What about the suckers who actually paid off their loans? Or the people who didn’t go to college because they didn’t want to take on debt? Dennis was at LAX yesterday where they still require masks, but, according to Dennis, very few are paying any attention… Dennis ta...

Carl Jackson sits in Dennis and focuses on negative rights versus positive rights... government health care is nice, but you do not have a guaranteed right to health care.  If it's given by the government... it can be taken away.  Carl is joined by Julie Kelly of AMgreatness.com to discuss the conviction of two men for conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020,  and a possible Tr...

One may have a messy desk and a clear mind.  How DO you to spell Nietzsche?!  Dennis and Julie delve into their high school athletic experiences, and both agree having coaches toughens you up.  One of the greatest traits you can teach your child is resilience.  Affluence has made us weak...we’ve taken America for granted.  People despair… the importance of the sabbath is more crucial than ever.  J...

Yesterday Dennis recorded the first of a series of lectures he’s doing for The Daily Wire. He’ll be covering big, timeless themes like the consequences of secularism… 600 physicians, almost all women, sign a petition asking the media not to report on or talk to those who hold a pro-life position. They say the science is settled. What science?... Dennis talks to Amala Ekpunobi, host of the Unapolog...

San Francisco, Portland, and Cleveland are good examples…  Michael Hayden, former CIA Director, says Republicans are the "most dangerous force" he’s ever encountered. This is a manifestation of that dread disease, TDS.  Have p...

The Left lives for chaos. If it doesn’t exist, the Left will create chaos.

Boston Children’s Hospital is engaging in the wor...

TDS is behind the Mar-a-L...
