Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

President Biden aired a new campaign ad during the first NFL game claiming to “make us energy independent,” meanwhile he’s cracking down on drilling.  From the WSJ - Biden Freezes Alaskan Oil - Interior Secretary Deb Haaland relies on ‘Indigenous Knowledge’ as a legal justification to block drilling.  If you want honey, be prepared to be stung.  If you want to live a full life, it will not be pain...

Mark Isler guest hosts for Dennis… It’s a cause for concern that American voters are so easily fooled. Too often glibness passes for substance. We need to be smarter.  The Democrats will do anything to get power and keep it. The jihad against Donald Trump is only one of many examples that make this point.  Should there be some mandatory age limit for politicians? This is a problem on both sides of...

The Left is destroying life as we knew it.  In California, an accelerated ban on diesel fleets will wreak havoc on the industry.  In Arizona, Biden’s new land grab makes the U.S. more dependent on Russia… no uranium mining near the Grand Canyon.  In Washington D.C., the latest budget figures show that the Biden administration is breaking peacetime, non-crisis records for spending and deficits, wit...

People can convince themselves of anything, including that Communism is a workable system or that men can menstruate… Why have Americans lost faith in higher education?

The topic is the continued political prosecutio...

Dennis and Julie start with the power of the ear/hearing… the importance of sound, and Dennis ponders if the eye/sight is intellectual?   They explore the power of memories… audio recordings, old films, pictures, and home videos.  People live in their present… they do not know the end of the story… that’s why it’s important not to judge people outside of the context their time.  Other topics inclu...

On Labor Day, Dennis asks people what they do for a living. Callers include a baker, a fitness pro, a laptop part company entrepreneur, a nutritional consultant, and antique Judaica dealer, a perfusionist, the guy who sells coupons on the back of you receipts, a personalized wine box maker, a retirement planner, a computer access controller, a homeschooler, a motorcycle critic, a dog daycare owner...

CA is giving money to a non-profit to promote gender confusion. They’re doing it with our tax money. It’s a total disgrace… Masks are coming back — in blue states… The Georgia “call” is the new Charlottesville — totally distorted by the Dems and their media enablers.  If you did not talk to your parents for a period of time and then resumed talking to them, what changed? How is your relationship w...

This has stirred up the university’s leftist professors once again… Texas Teachers Unions are going nuts over the state’s recognition of PragerU videos… Dennis talks to Lou Holly, PragerFORCE member in Louisville, KY.  Dennis draws a clear distinction between private talk and public talk... Are we how we behave or what we say in private?  The Canadian...

Julie Hartman guest hosts for Dennis… A 12-year-old was kicked out of school for having a “Don’t Tread on Me” patch on his backpack. The origin of the patch is the Revolutionary War and has nothing to do with slavery. When the school learned this (you’d think they would have known), they reversed their ban. This incident says a lot about our education system.  Julie talks to legendary New England...

California’s Attorney General doesn’t want parents to be notified if their child goes trans. He’s suing to make it so. The contempt for parents on the left knows no bounds… 1600 scientists have signed a letter in which they conclude global warming is not a reason for sky-is-falling hysteria.  The judge in Donald Trump’s Washington DC indictment has set a trial date of March 4. That happens to be i...

The Green Hysterics make their hysterical claims and then (a month or a year or two) later they are refuted — by facts. For example, we were told global warming was responsible for the fires this summer in Greece. Then, it turns out that the fires were set by arsonists. There are many other examples… The Yale police chief and the police union get into a scrape: is New Haven safe for Yale students?...

Tropical Storm Hilary shut Los Angeles down like Covid… for what amounted to heavy rainfall.  People believe the news rather than what they see with their own eyes.  Inspired by Carl Trueman’s book: The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution… Dennis and Julie discuss the age of feelings and gender confusion.  Does a future...

The left was salivating at the idea that they could get a mugshot of the former president. In typical Trump fashion, he turned a humiliating moment into a triumph, taking the greatest mugshot of all time… Is it the Left’s strategy to make sure that Trump is the Republican nominee? Maybe. If so, it’s very risky.  Did your childhood prepare for adulthood?  Issues raised include: does Dennis test the...

Mark Davis guest hosts for Dennis… Republican presidential contenders debated in Milwaukee last night. Mark evaluates their performances — who gained, who didn’t. Meanwhile, President Trump talks to Tucker on X. Over 100 million tune in. What does that tell you?  Putin’s chief rival dies in a mysterious plane crash. The real mystery is that he lasted as long as he did… India lands an unmanned prob...

Amala Ekpunobi guest hosts for Dennis… Guess who they’re trying to cancel now? Judy Garland, the beloved movie star who died sixty years ago. She did a black face part in 1938. But Judy is made of sterner stuff… Riley Gaines, the female swimmer, who has been a staunch advocate for women’s sports is under constant attack. She’s not yielding an inch.  Disney is remaking Snow White, the 1937 classic,...

Julie Hartman guest hosts for Dennis… All studies suggest that the national anxiety level is high, maybe higher than it’s ever been. Yes, the lockdowns are a big part of it, but what else contributes to this malaise, and what can be done to ease it.  There have been four indictment and 91 charges filed against former President Trump. He could potentially go to jail for over 700 years. Are these ch...

The two biggest red states are now on board.  The president of the Spanish Football Association kisse...

Sparked by an interview Dennis had with Carrie Gress author of The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Has Destroyed Us… Dennis and Julie have a rich exchange about sinful thoughts versus sinful behavior.  If bad thoughts without bad action matter… do good thoughts without good actions matter?  One of the greatest aspects of freedom is freedom of thought.  We are like pressure cookers… it’s...

Admiral Rachel Levine, the transgender person who is assistant secretary of health, embarrasses the country once again. Speaking for the Biden Administration, she endorses an Alaska gender clinic that refers to women as “egg producers.” …PragerU has had a wild two weeks. Every major publication and website has condemned it. That Florida is allowing PragerU material to be taught in public schools h...

The left is salivating at the idea President Trump might be sent to jail. If it splits the country still further is of little concern… Dennis talks to Amala Ekpunobi, PragerU personality and host of the Unapologetic podcast.  One of the last remaining liberals, Alan Dershowitz, thinks the charges against Donald Trump are outrageous. Al Gore did the same thing in 2000… Why haven’t we seen the manif...

According to a new U. of Chicago study, 30 million Americans believe that violence would be appropriate to keep Donald Trump from becoming president again… Dennis talks to Genevieve Collins, Texas Director for Americans for Prosperity.  A young woman asks Dennis what she should promise her spouse before marriage. He has some advice. Callers add to the list.  CT senator Chris Murphy gets the shock...

Our former president has been indicted for fourth time. This time the indictment comes from a county in Georgia. 18 other people have been charged. It all boils down to this: we (the Democrats) hate Donald Trump and everyone who is associated with him and everyone who voted for him.  Here’s how it works for the left: if you’re fighting fascists you can do anything. Donald Trump is a fascist. There...

The fire in Maui has killed more than 90 people. The media reflex is to blame global warming, of course. But even the NY Times has to acknowledge the unchecked growth of wild grasses is why the fire burned so hot and so fast… The Left has not let up on PragerU and the fact that Florida now allows its content to be taught in the state’s schools. It’s the ultimate horror to the left.  A Native Ameri...

Dennis remembers George Bernard Shaw saying that youth is wasted on the young… and how it inspired him not to let that happen to him.  Dennis needed to be left alone as a child.  Julie just returned from London and Berlin and shares some takeaways.  When you know evil… you do not use the word loosely.  God wants us to be good… why is that a controversial statement?  Freedom of religion is a privil...

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… The Left threatens our future. But we can’t fight the Left unless we remember the past… No one person can save the country. There is no white knight. It’s either a community effort, or we fail.  We can all play a role in the fight to save the nation. What is your strength? Play to it… The left never gives up. We can’t either. We have no choice.  The left is rel...
