Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Are you a character, is it genetic, or can it be learned?  Dennis’ theory on having theories… like Julie, he wanted to understand life at an early age.  Dennis and Julie were taken by an email from a young fan.  Only good people acknowledge goodness.  Many on the Left disregard free will and avoid confrontation.  Living a good life will lead to having no fear of death.  Love is a false God… religi...

They prefer security to freedom. This is a disturbing development… UCLA Law School is tracking organizations that oppose CRT… Dennis talks to Pattie Barrett, member of the PragerU advisory board. ...

The Inflation Reduction Act does everything but reduce inflation.

It will be settled this time by people moving to states...

Imagine if Trump had sent the FBI into Hillary’s home… the “mainstream” media would have gone apoplectic.  Denmark has announced that people under the age of 18 are no longer allowed to get the COVID vaccine.  Julia Spies, a PragerFORCE member, joins the show.  She has really enjoyed being able to have deep conversations with PragerFORCE friends about politics, philosophy, faith, and so much more....

The Left believes the FBI is a weapon of mass destruction for destroying their opponents. They raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida on Monday as part of an investigation into his handling of classified information…   “What is the difference between this and Watergate…,” said Trump.  California is no garden of Eden. It is now over-woke… both the rich and poor are fleeing.  Gavin Newsome is goo...

Dennis and Julie discuss being vulnerable in today’s culture.  Does having a hobby require a certain level of vulnerability?  Dennis observes that while men rib each other… women do not.  Hook up culture benefits one sex… and it isn’t women.  Men desire variety, how can that lead to monogamy?  Is sex before marriage a sin? Dennis believes there are gradations of sin… all evil is sin, but not all s...

The Democrats are about to pass a massive spending bill which is just a smaller version of the Green New Deal. It’s absurdly called the Inflation Reduction Act, but there is no chance it will reduce inflation. In fact, all it will do is raise our energy costs.  Is there a correlation between political views and happiness? Dennis has theories. So do callers.  Issues raised include: is “Judeo-Christ...

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… The Democrats have shown us their cards. They want to obliterate the American way of life. Republicans can’t think about compromise because the Dems have no interest in compromise. Time to stand firm… The new Biden spending bill will weaponize the IRS against Dems’ opponents.   The new Biden spending bill will be a disaster for small business… What is our forei...

The results were mixed, but mostly positive… On the Left, America is bad; Communism isn’t… Electric cars might be great, but they’re not Green… George Soros defends spending millions to get “reform” prosecutors elected in the Wall Street Journal. His arguments are incoherent.  When a man marries, he sacrifices his desire for other w...

Today is Dennis’s birthday. Naturally, he has reflections… Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan. Why did she go? No one from the Administration seems ready to answer that question. We don’t have enough tension in the world today?... The World Economic Forum doesn’t want you to own a car.  In the last five years, China has become less and less free and more and more belligerent toward the US… Dennis talk...

Dennis and Julie discuss the desire to always keep learning.  Strive to do what you love for a living.  Passionate individuals are infectious… the passionless are boring.  Dennis did it his way, unafraid of the pressure to conform to societal norms.  They lament the effects that masks have had on public interactions.  The politicization of everything in society has killed social relations.  Is Fac...

It’s much closer to the USA he knew and loved than his home state of California… Portland continues its downward spiral… Two black women attack another black woman, accusing her of being white and a Trump supporter. But black can’t be racist?  Dennis always assumed everyone wanted to be happy. But that turns out not to be...

The goal of parenting is to make an independent, responsible adult, not to shower your child with love or even to be loved by your children… Dennis talks to Steven Mosher, president of Population Research Institute and a leading authority on China. His new book is The Politically Incorrect Guide to Pandemics.  China warns the US that bad things will happen if Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan. Will the U...

New Zealand tried to hide from Covid. But Covid has found it. Mrs. Single Source of Truth looks foolish again… Medical schools have gone woke.

A Maryland school district instructs its teachers to affirm their students “gender ideation.” If parents don’t approve, teachers are encouraged to lie to them. This is child abuse… Dennis’s fellow yeshiva students learned more about wisdom as 10-year-olds than Harvard grads do today.  Who do we want to join the military? It seems like we want everyone but aggressive young men. What kind of militar...

Dennis and Julie discuss God’s role in a world with suffering.  Both Dennis and Julie have family members on the spectrum… how do you reconcile God and Autism?  The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”  The system fails us all… it's how you react that matters.  If you think people in the United States are oppressed… travel abroad!  Most universities were founded based in religion and have be...

Dennis is in Miami for the week. Miami is known this time of year for its oppressive heat and humidity, but it’s very livable now. Why? The answer is energy supplied by fossil fuel.  Religious people are dismissed because they have “blind faith.” But there is no faith as blind as that of secular people. Their faith the world is going to burn up from carbon emissions in 10, 20 or 50 years has no re...

We suffer from a major wisdom deficit. Our “experts” do not consider the consequences of their actions… It's very hard to be happy if you give in to despair...

Elisjsha Dicken, the young man who killed the Indiana Mall murderer, is a true hero and good person… To the left you are a nothing. The state is to take care of all your needs and all your family’s needs. To the right, you are a something. You are responsible to take care of yourself and your family… Dennis talks to Dr. S...

The Ivy League is a moral cesspool… The White House is getting ready to declare a climate emergency. What is that?... Dennis talks to Michael Fumento, science writer. The topic...

Join Dennis and Julie as they discuss the fear of being alone, and the difficulty of finding a partner with your values.  Hook-up culture has killed traditional dating and allows boys to remain immature.  Being vulnerable is difficult but shows great strength of character.  Birthdays are a marker of maturity… exciting when one is young …and a reminder of futility as one ages.  Dining out equals fr...
