The Arab language Wikipedia is a propaganda page for Hamas… Does shutting down a highway or major intersection gain you followers? One hears this phrase often. "God is in control."

They discuss the legalization of prostitution… trafficking is evil, but prostitution is a sin. People don’t fight real evil. When it comes to adoption – do girls seek out their birth mother more than boys? On the topic of fatherlessness… what would reduce gun violence more, more gun laws or more fathers? Dennis states – “I never ask will people like me for what I say, I ask… is it true?”Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Davis guest hosts for Dennis… Mark speculates about what’s ahead of us politically. It appears Trump has a commanding lead in the primaries. Do DeSantis or Haley have a chance to overtake him?... If Trump is nominated is there anything the Dems won’t do to stop him? Our Southern border basically doesn’t exist. We’re not enforcing our immigration laws. What is the Biden Administration’s objective?... Would Nikki Haley be a good or bad choice for VP, if Trump was the nominee? Isn’t the key to the next election independent voters? How would Trump, or anyone Republican, get their vote? Can any Republican, especially Trump, pierce the media “end of democracy” hysteria machine…. The Dems approach is clear: it’s Biden v. Hitler. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

But many are afraid to say it, cowered by the left into silence… Paul Krugman, NY Times columnist, lives in leftist fantasy world in which the left has very little influence over our institutions… Ohio governor Mike DeWine embarrassed himself and the Republican Party when he vetoed a bill banning transition surgery for minors… An Alaska senator goes back to his alma mater, Harvard, and is shocked at what he finds.

Dennis and Julie discuss the importance of enjoying what you do. Getting yourself into more than you think you can handle can lead to great things. Push yourself… be ambitious. You can live a full life, or a safe life… not both. Taking silly risks is bad… but conversely, waiting for “safe” can be paralyzing. Dennis talks about his son’s sobriety – his son said that hitting rock bottom was when he stopped blaming others for his problems. The victim mentality is a cancer in our society.

This is a secular holiday, but it can meaningful if you make resolutions. Dennis talks about three categories of resolutions – health, happiness and character. We defeat ourselves before we start because we think that if we can’t keep our resolutions, why start? But if you make a resolution and keep it for, say, three months isn’t that better than doing nothing? Dennis’s mom calls in with a suggestion on how he could improve in one area. Why not make a resolution to act happy, or, how about this, not to be unhappy this year?

She’s convinced he’s an “insurrectionist.” But he’s never been charged with “insurrection,” let alone convicted. No one has… Mike DeWine, Ohio’s Republican governor, vetoes legislation banning transgender surgery on minors. What a disgrace. Is the state of the country and the world making you less happy?

They don’t go together… Jesus was not a Palestinian. There was no such thing as a Palestinian when Jesus was alive. The de-Judaization of Jesus is a sure sign of antisemitism.

Dennis and Julie celebrate how wishing someone a Merry Christmas IS inclusive… and lament how paralyzed people have become… they don’t know how to respond to “Merry Christmas.” NBC did a documentary on Prager U …mainstream news is so distorted. Julie shares: “Theses or Feces” University administrators are so unimpressive. The height of narcissism is one saying that having a Christmas tree is not inclusive. You are unhealthy if you do not like Christmas. People live in extremes… purity is a bad aim… but people dream about it.

Fewer Americans than ever describe themselves as religious. Fewer follow a particular religion. This is not without consequence.

Dennis and Julie examine the similarities and differences of Christianity and Judaism. There is a symbiotic relationship… and a necessity for both. Judaism is particular to a people and a land… and Christianity is universal, meaning not particular to any land or race. Judaism needs the universality of Christianity… and Christianity needs to be rooted in Judaism.Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dennis and Julie discuss compartmentalizing. Some topics are holiday dinner wreckers: politics, religion, and family issues. Manners certainly matter… some people just cannot read the room or control themselves. There are two types of unhappy people, and unhappy people who want others to be unhappy – narcissism. How rare a commodity is self-awareness? Take for instance the slow driver is the fast lane… why… are they oblivious or is it on purpose. If people saw their bad behavior on video, would they change it? Are the days of Norman Rockwell painting holiday dinners gone? We have macro-ized feelings. Discomfort in life is a feature not a bug. One of the great ambitions one can have… is to be easy in other people’s lives. What is the relationship between feeling underappreciated and wreaking havoc. Some people need control and some desire to control others. For Dennis it comes down to feelings versus behavior. People don’t control themselves… because they don’t want to control themselves.

Dennis is in St. Louis and asks Julie… why has being successful not gone to your head? They spend time defining success versus accomplishment. Many American kids when asked what they want to be when they grow up answer: famous. Fame is wildly overrated… what matters is that you’ve touched people with good values. They discuss the inversions in modern American society… we have privileged people protesting privilege. Contrived victimhood is sickening. Why is merit considered to be a white supremacist value? Don’t say America is not systemically racist… the Left IS systemically racist. Is there anything the Left could do that would persuade a Democrat to vote Republican? Julie mentions her great interview with Monica Harris, the author of The Illusion of Division. How do you navigate the widening moral and civilizational gap in this world and maintain friendships? Dennis advocates compassion in the micro and standards in the macro.

The governor of Florida debated the governor of California last night. They drew a sharp contrast. DeSantis pounded the facts. Newsom slipped and slided around the truth. Dennis analyzes some “highlights.” In which state would you rather live? Did you come to one realization that made you a happier person? Callers have stories. Issues raised include: You say the Left doesn’t want nuclear power… but they do, according to the NYT’s we just don’t have the engineers; I gave up bad words and getting mad at age 55; Republicans are in a conundrum… many people don’t like Trump… the best option is DeSantis; have you ever had your brother on the show; Calhoun’s Utopia – rodent society study compared to human society with regards to reproduction; saying “so what” has changed my life; there are some people who will not leave any inheritance to their children… why would they do that?

Not since the 60’s when students shouted slogans in favor of North Vietnamese communists, have students (and many adults) rooted in favor of a police state — in this case Hamas… Dennis talks to Joel Rosenberg, founder and editor-in-chief of All Israel News. A Chicago suburb is now segregating classes between blacks and whites. This is not a white supremacy prescription. This is a leftist plan. They believe that blacks learn better with and from blacks. The left calls this "affinity classes.” Why isn’t it called racism? Dennis talks to David Horowitz, Founder and President of The David Horowitz Freedom Center. His new book is The Radical Mind: The Destructive Plans of the Woke Left. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Students at a Florida high school walk out of class in support of ending women’s sports. The moral rot starts young and runs deep… Catholic Women’s college decides to admit men (men who “identify” as women). The Left destroys one more institution. Did you marry someone because you thought they would make you happy? Did you marry someone thinking you could make this person happy? People can make someone miserable. But rarely can they make someone happy. When the Oakland City Council proposed a resolution to condemn Hamas, they got a lot of leftist pushback, i.e., support for the terrorist group… Greta Thunberg has a new cause: promoting Hamas… A USC professor is suspended because he called for the killing of Hamas terrorists… Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

There are a lot of morally confused people. If you can’t discern the clear moral difference between Israel and Hamas, you are one of those people… A leader in the 60’s Civil Rights movement would not be comfortable with today’s identity politics… The most important subject to study is history. Miguel Cardona, the Secretary of Education, gets a famous Ronald Reagan quote completely backwards… Imams preach hate of UK mosques… Is Israel in an impossible position re: winning its war against Hamas. Liberal Jews have long believed that the more secular America became the more secure they would be. This was a terrible mistake. Dennis explains.

Derek Chauvin was stabbed in prison over the weekend. Why wasn’t he given special protection, given that he must be a target for other prisoners… Israel gets some hostages back and Hamas gets prisoners, food, and medical supplies… Another guy wins women’s trophy and “breaks” a record. This time in swimming the butterfly… Denver schools adopt a “language justice” policy. Dennis wants to know how Thanksgiving went for his listeners. Callers have stories — good, bad and ugly.

They discuss an auto debacle Dennis had in Minnesota regarding leaving a note. Which leads to Julie sharing that her dad’s check was stolen from the mail. Crime appears to be on the rise, and there is more sympathy for the criminal than ever… is this social justice… a consequence of secular society? While explaining why he left a note… Dennis asks… which is better… doing the right thing for the sake of it, or because one believes that God is judging? If there are no rewards and punishments …morality in society is dead. Does dignity keep good individuals from doing bad things? There is a crisis of religion in the US… people who grew up with religion keep the values but lose the religion. Dennis recalls his visit to death row at Angola State Prison. There is an antidote to evil… Judeo-Christian values.Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s a law of life. If you’re an antisemite, you’re a loser. If you’re a society of antisemites, you’re a society of losers… Elon Musk is going “thermo-nuclear” on Media Matters. Texas AG, Ken Paxton, is joining him… There is no indication that Palestinians want peace with Israel. Recent polls confirm this.

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 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… Dennis reacts …it’s important to read the other side. Quit assuaging your loneliness in politics. Truth is everything… we have one life to live… it cannot be based in make believe.

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?

New York Times columnist David Brooks writes a long piece in Atlantic about the moral crisis in the country.

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. When they do so successfully, they have done something significant, maybe heroic. Dennis talks to Ted Cruz, Republican Senator from Texas.
