Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis and Julie explore intentions, beliefs, and thoughts versus actions. The Leftist never asks is it true… they ask is it offensive. We should all be striving for truth uber alles. Does doing things because they are the right thing to do put you on a higher plane than the person who does them out of fear of being punished? Dennis shares why Genesis 26:15 is one of his favorite bible stories – “For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.’ Would you rather lose in a fair world… or win by cheating?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amala Ekpunobi guest hosts for Dennis… Amala tells the story of how she met Dennis and began her career at PragerU… Was Cleopatra black? Mixed race? Who cares?... Is it a right to dress in drag? Is it a right to perform in drag in front of minor children? “The Bud Light case” demonstrates the power of conservative wallets… A culture of victimhood, encouraged by the Left, is an endemic problem for the black community. Victimhood is a problem for anyone, not just blacks. Surround yourself with bad and bad will come to you. Amala Ekpunobi guest hosts for Dennis… From Cleopatra to English Queen Charlotte, Hollywood is fixated on demonstrating that white queens were really black or partially black or something. Is this a search for more accurate history or just more race obsession? Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… If we don’t have election integrity, we don’t have a real democracy. On the other hand, people of integrity must show up and vote. Retreat into apathy is not an option… Did Daniel Penny wait until he felt that the lives of the passengers on the NYC subway train were in danger before he acted? From what we know so far, the answer to the question is yes. There’s nothing compassionate about open borders. Not only are we hurting our own citizens (crime and all the associated costs), but we are also empowering some of the worst people on earth — the drug cartels — to take advantage of desperate people. Our “open borders” policy is, in short, a slow-motion catastrophe. Carl does a deep dive into the question of birthright citizenship. The idea that we give citizenship to anyone who is born on US soil is lunacy. It defies common sense and is not supported by the Constitution. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Julie Hartman guest hosts for Dennis… In just the last week, three major scandals have emerged: the FBI’s deep involvement in the Trump Russia Hoax; the Justice Dept. backing away from the Hunter Biden investigation; and the Biden family’s enrichment via China. How has the legacy (state) media dealt with these scandals? Indifference. The Democrats can do no evil. The most persecuted group in America — in fact, the only group that can be mercilessly mocked without repercussions — are conservative Christians. Julie provides examples, the latest provided by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Julie takes a deep dive into our relationship with China. How did China advance from an economic basket case to a world power in forty years? Why do they represent such a threat to our interests? What is their ultimate goal?

Special Counsel, John Durham, finally released his report on the Trump Russia Collusion Hoax. The report confirms what President Trump and his supporters have said from day one. It was all based lies and disinformation. The true malefactors were the Hilary Clinton campaign, the Democratic Party, their FBI collaborators, and a willing legacy media… The cost of the lockdowns is estimated to have been $14 trillion. The FBI has been corrupted. So has the CIA. The NIH. Everywhere the left gets a toehold, the institution eventually becomes corrupted… The legacy media has completely ignored the Biden family influence-peddling scandal… Many people were damaged by the vax. The pharma companies have ignored their complaints. So has the government. Dennis has been preoccupied with the issue of thoughts vs. actions. He further articulates his views during this hour. How many bad thoughts lead to bad actions? How many good thoughts lead to good actions? The relationship between thoughts and deeds is tenuous.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Why does the left want to trash Western Civilization? Because the best way to grab power is to create chaos… We’re heading for disaster re: our electric grid. The Greens will destroy the country in order to save it. The President gave the commencement address at Howard University. He spread his usual lies and distortions about race… Dennis talks to Erwin Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the Senior Pastor for 36 years. His new book is No Reason to Hide: Standing for Christ in a Collapsing Culture. Dennis continues his analysis of the President’s speech to the graduates of Howard University.

Dennis and Julie introduce Mr. Tubbz (new English Bulldog) to the Prager family, and it spurs an in-depth discussion about moving on too quickly after a loss. How soon is too soon for moving on after the death of a pet or a spouse… remarriage after a divorce? Does replacement help with the grieving process? They explore the intricacies of relationships between parents and children, topics include: step-parents, titles, bonds, adoption, biological, surrogate; shared values matter most. Divorce isn’t the issue… it’s how the parents treat the situation after the fact that matter. Kids can handle divorce… they can’t handle the fighting, or the poisoning of the other parent’s character. Are children of divorce more mature? Other topics include: being mind-centered versus emotional; like versus love; a listener email about elephants; Dennis recalls riding an Indian elephant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Hinderaker guest hosts for Dennis… States are sorting themselves into red and blue. But migration pattern is clear: blue to red. Minnesota is known as a paragon of a blue state that works. But John, who lives in Minnesota, knows better… John talks to John Phelan, Minnesota based economist. People are living the state in droves. John talks to Heather Mac Donald, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

The Donald duked it out with a CNN host last night. Among his other statements he said he would pardon most of the Jan 6 defendants… CA wants to pay “reparations” to blacks. But CA came into the Union as a free state… Biden’s corruption is being exposed by Republican congressional committee. The legacy media remains quiet. Dennis talks to Peachy Keenan, a pseudonym for a writer and mother living deep behind enemy lines. She identifies as a husbosexual, which means she is only attracted to people who identify as her husband. She has a new book coming out next month from Regnery. Domestic Extremist: A Practical Guide to Winning the Culture War. You can find her on Twitter at @keenanpeachy Mark Davis guest hosts for Dennis for the last hour of the show.

Twenty-five years after the fact, a woman accuses Donald Trump of rape in a civil suit. Was this anyone but Trump this case would have been laughed out of court. Instead, while she loses on the rape charge, she gets awarded $5M… New evidence indicate that masks did nothing to stop the spread of the virus, but did cause physical harm to the mask-wearer. What does it mean to be masculine? Dennis has some ideas. So do callers. Dennis talks to Steve Cortes, former advisor to President Trump.

Dennis plays a clip from a commencement speech by Kansas City Chief kicker, Harrison Butker. He has some very good and practical advice to the graduates of Georgia Tech. Dennis breaks it down. Dennis talks to Julie Kelly, columnist for American Greatness. The Justice Department is getting ready to charge Trump with sedition in Kelly’s opinion. Should you feel guilty about bad thoughts? Do bad thoughts lead to bad actions? If so, how often? Do good thoughts lead to good deeds? If so, how often? Or do we have a myriad of thoughts good and bad that we never act on.

A murderer slaughtered eight people at an outlet mall outside of Dallas. How do you explain all these random killings? Do we need more gun laws or more fathers? Prince Charles is now King Charles. He was coronated on Saturday. All the great British traditions were on full display… The Constitution and the 2nd Amendment are very clear. Americans have the right to gun ownership. If the nation wants to change that, we need to change the Constitution… When the Left says it wants to teach black history what does it mean? A former Marine intervened when a mentally ill homeless person threatened passengers. The Marine is now — according to the Left — the villain of the drama. AOC has declared the Marine to be a murderer. The left is waging a war against goodness. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Dennis and Julie lament the degradation of intellect and society. Does it matter if you go to a prestigious university or is it more important that you are intelligent? Having a book collection has gone the way of the dodo, but it’s crucial to be well read. Having hobbies is a sign of being well adjusted. Learning a new language is a great way to broaden your understating of language, history, and the world. Bringing people to the good is a mission both Dennis and Julie believe in, but is it worth covering eye-catching salacious topics to achieve a larger audience? The story of Rev. Kiyoshi Tanimoto after Hiroshima on This is Your Life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should we worry about Artificial Intelligence and programs like ChatGPT? Dennis has concerns… Men with their sexual organs are being housed in a women’s prison in New Jersey. Female prisoners are understandably terrified… How can a girl feel that she’s really a boy? She has no idea how boys think. The same is true in the other direction… A black man executes two whites in Oklahoma just because they were white. Did you hear about this news story? Almost certainly not. Why not? What does it mean to love yourself? Is it even a good idea? Is it better to like or respect yourself? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers. Issues raised include: I do not agree with you about homeschooling; which do you think is a higher value sincerity or gratitude; not taking revenge on people but showing love instead of hate; kids in schools have to sit at a desk for hours versus being at home; do not agree with you about not wanting to know politicians personal things; I am young and want to run for office and just need advice; where are you getting that Jan 6th people are political prisoners; is there still prophecy?

Florida Republicans pass bills on pronoun usage at schools, ban on diversity programs. A 12-year-old at was allegedly sent home from school and told he’s making people feel unsafe for wearing a shirt that read “there are only 2 genders.” Dennis searches for example of the terms “hardline progressive” and “secular extremism” …and finds none. A common narrative is that liberty and equality have been advanced primarily when America’s leaders embrace progressive manifestations of religion or reject faith altogether. Mark David Hall joins Dennis to discuss the role Christianity has played in advancing liberty and equality for all citizens. His book: Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land demonstrates that Christianity is responsible for advancing liberty and equality for all Americans https://a.co/d/6BybTKJ After a 26% loss in revenue, the Anheuser-Busch CEO supposedly disavows the Dylan Mulvaney snafu … but takes no responsibility for it at all.

Bud Light sales are down 26%. Let this be a lesson to corporations (stay away from woke) and conservatives (we can use our buying power to send a message). How many men go out with their male friends and leave the spouse at home? Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the marriage? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers.

Truth is the most important value. Nothing works without truth as its base… Colleges across the country are conducting separate graduations, dividing students by race and sexual identity… Children’s hospitals promote “gender affirming care.” Tragic. Is working from home a plus or a minus for most people? Callers present strong arguments on both sides of the question. In Deuteronomy, Moses tells the Israelites not to hate an Egyptian “for you were a stranger in his land.” The Israelites were subject to a terrible form of slavery. The Egyptians threw Hebrew male babies into the Nile at the command of the Pharaoh. What is the Bible telling us here? Is this advice applicable to today?

Has anybody thought of this? EV’s are much heavier than gas-powered vehicles. Thus, they are much deadlier in a crash situation; i.e. more people will die. Even the Biden Administration acknowledges this. They just don’t care… Truth is not a left-wing value. The NY Times has no compunction about lying about Tucker Carlson… or anyone else. A NJ high school student committed suicide after being falsely accused of rape. But The NY Times doesn’t get to this critical information until 21 paragraphs into their article. Alaska Airlines is forced to conform to a ACLU-backed lawsuit. It must abolish gender-specific flight attendant uniforms… Chuck Todd believes that we should let kids determine their sexual identity… Dennis talks to Melissa (Mel) Hawley.

Dennis and Sue’s beloved Otto died, and while Dennis laments society equating animals and humans… he reflects on this palpable loss. The experience made Dennis realize that people choose pain to live a fuller life. Thinking about one’s own death… helps one to live a fuller life. Inspired by G.K. Chesterton, Julie shares the significance of stories, fairy tales, and mythology… how they shape countries and individuals, and that sharing them helps to pass on values and teach connections with the past. We live in a society where unpleasant facts are not to be acknowledged. Topics include: the ear is deeper than the eye; the story of The Four Sons; Kamala Harris now believes in “climate anxiety”; Americans …we have manufactured all our problems; confrontation …how far do you go in private life exposing your values?

The case for sending your kid to a public school is getting weaker and weaker as the schools continue to push their woke nonsense on students. The case for homeschooling, in contrast, is getting stronger and stronger. Callers weigh in. If you can’t be mind-directed, then all advice is useless. Yes, you can talk yourself into a happier state of mind. Issues raised include: you never mention humor in your happiness book or hour; why is no one counteracting the pro-choice agenda; the lust in the heart argument from Matthew 5, you lie regarding Pragertopia, that it is commercial free; do you understand the New Testament DOES NOT REQUIRE a Sabbath; you say sports is the only place merit lives; the devolution of the dress code at work.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

One hundred Harvard professors have united to protect freedom of speech. This is good news, That it needs to be done is bad news… No more “boys” and “girls” in a Vermont school district. Why would any parent keep their kid in these schools? Tucker Carlson made his first public statement yesterday. He was oblique about his future plans but was clear that he will make his voice heard… Parents have been placed in a terrible position. They now have to worry that their local public school is warping their child’s mind. Julie Hartman fills in as Dennis rushes to catch a flight to Phoenix… The Biden Administration is obsessed with “gender-affirming care,” a made-up term. Do people really believe children can confidently define themselves?... We live in an era of great injustice. The issue is not racism. The issue is protecting children.

We can only speculate about the reasons why Fox fired Tucker Carlson, their most popular host. Tucker has not made any comments about the dismissal and neither has Fox. The best theory: Tucker refused to be controlled by management. He was too much his own man… A British man runs as a woman and — surprise — wins. As a man, “she’s” an also ran (pun intended)… Dennis talks to Mary Harrington, columnist for UnHeard, a British publication. Her new book is Feminism against Progress.

Her new book is You Can't Joke About That: Why Everything Is Funny, Nothing Is Sacred, and We're All in This Together. Why did Fox and Tucker split?

Mark Davis guest hosts for Dennis… Either Republicans hang together or we will hang separately? Let’s fight it out during the upcoming primary season, but once it’s resolved —however it’s resolved — everybody needs to support the winning candidate. Are the Dems really pinning their hopes on octogenarian Joe Biden? Or would they really prefer to move on?... Yes, we want to preserve the beauty of the planet, but, no, we don’t want to commit energy suicide. The effort to help Ukraine against Russia is a noble one, but it must have some practical limit.

Hundreds of teens rioted in downtown Chicago this weekend. The city’s incoming mayor says we shouldn’t “demonize” the thugs. They’re not responsible for what they did… Don’t buy Anheuser Busch and Nike products. They are working to destroy our society and our children.

Most people believe what they want to believe… and do not believe what they do not want to believe. Julie recalls her visit to her eye doctor where she was honest about hiding the truth of her consumption. Dennis asks the question: what do you believe that you do not want to believe? The reason most people in the U.S. believe that people are basically good is because Americans have had it good… where people suffer, they do not believe people are basically good. Americans are spoiled, and lack religion… will America prevail, furthermore, is it arrogant to believe so? It is a luxury to think you do not need God in your life.

Amala Ekpunobi guest hosts for Dennis… Amala reflects on what it was like to “transition” from leftism to conservatism… Why are we letting children make permanent life-changing decisions about their lives? They’re children, for goodness sake. A Florida State professor fabricated crime statistics to make racism appear worse than it really is. It’s hard work to make the US look racist. There is so much noise in our world today that it’s more important than ever to find a quiet place — a time and location where we can think without being distracted by the inputs from our multiple “devices” — computers, iPhones, TV’s.

Bob Frantz guest hosts for Dennis… Republicans must hang together or — to paraphrase Ben Franklin — they will hang separately. The Democrats, to their credit, never deviate from their chosen candidates. The Republicans must do the same or 2024 will not turn out well. Anheuser Busch has seen sales plummet after they announced that they had made a man who pretends to be a woman one of their influencers… Speaking of influencers, the White House has announced that it has hired dozens to persuade young voters to support Joe Biden. How do conservatives reach young people? PragerU anyone? It’s very hard to debate the issue of gun control. For example, what is an assault rifle? Answer: there is no such thing. It’s a term without a definition. How can we ban something that doesn’t exist? Guns are not the problem. Bad people with bad values are the problem.

Mark Isler guest hosts for Dennis… Mark considers how far and fast the country has fallen in the first two years of the Joe Biden presidency… Callers weigh in. Republicans are going to continue to get bullied and buffaloed by the Democrats until they return fire. Metaphorically, we’re talking eye for an eye. What is the good of having principles if you don’t honor them? Mark relates his own personal story of standing up against a teachers strike… Only with competition will public schools get better. Right now, they’re mostly a disaster.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Julie Hartman guest hosts for Dennis… A major intelligence leak has embarrassed the US and exposed weaknesses in Ukraine’s military efforts against Russia… China is rattling sabers at Taiwan. How serious is this action? Why should we care about Taiwan? The Left has resumed their smears of Justice Clarence Thomas. This time they’re trying to get him on private jet trips with a close friend and prominent conservative. Once again, the smears have no basis. Doesn’t matter to the Left… Russia has arrested an American journalist. What is Putin’s game here? Nike uses a man to promote a sports bra. The UK has a TV show in which adults undress in front of children. CA takes funding away from a school that won’t follow the state’s woke transgender guidelines.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

For Julie and Dennis being authentic is of tantamount importance… and it takes a great deal of effort. It’s an insecurity to not be “real.” Is there truth in advertising? On the day Solzhenitsyn was arrested, in 1974, he released the text of “Live Not by Lies,” an essay regarded by Julie as one of the most substantial writings of the 20th century. Can you think of a Left-wing public broadcast that makes people more mature and helps develop a healthy psychological perspective? Johnathan Haidt describes a study in which he examines how well liberals, conservatives, and moderates understand each other in The Righteous Mind. What is prayer …and it important to you? Julie asks Dennis questions about the Rational Bible, topics include: circumcision; father son rivalry; ethical monotheism; God’s promise to the Hebrew people; Abraham bargains God down to ten people… Sodom and Gomorrah; arguing with God; don’t hug the Rabbi.

Dennis talks to Adam Nicolson, English historian. His new book is God’s Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast June 26, 2003. Can you have fun without some sort of artificial stimulation? The answer, of course, is yes. But it's not as obvious as many might think. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast February 10, 2023 Issues raised include: how were you able to determine the lockdowns would cause harm so early on; should one use the pulpit to discuss politics; should you love your enemies.

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis… The rule of law died in America this week. A former president was arraigned for an unspecified crime… Carl explains how the classic five stages of grief are the key to understanding the future of the conservative movement. We can moan and groan all we want about the Dems and their tactics, if we don’t focus soon how we’re going to win in 2024, we will lose. Doesn’t matter who are nominee is… Carl talks to economist Steve Moore. Our near-term economic future does not look bright. Loving babies, loving free speech, loving the rule of law, wanting to be energy independent, not worrying about global warming — these are reasonable positions. Not being able to define a woman, agitating to give hormones to 10-year-old kids, fighting for abortion on demand — these are extreme positions. We are the moderates.

Former President Donald Trump was arraigned yesterday in NYC. But for what? The charges are not clear. This is a political hit job and nothing more. Our justice system is now an international embarrassment… Dennis talks to Voddie Baucham, dean of the School of Divinity at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia. His most recent book is Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe. Did you or your spouse experience a mid-life crisis? If so, what was the cause? Callers have stories. Dennis talks to Vivek Ramaswamy, best-selling author and entrepreneur. He’s running for president… We have another clarifying moment: where do you stand on the indictment? If you believe it is fully justified in law, you’re on the left. If you think it’s a farce, you’re on the right… Tonight is Passover. Sunday is Easter. Dennis reflects on their significance.

We have reached a point where “it can’t happen here” is happening. The charging of a former president and leading candidate on manufactured charges is the stuff of the Soviet Union. Ask yourself this question: what do you want to believe? Now these questions: is that why you believe what you believe? Does your belief have a close connection with reality or is it merely wish fulfillment?... The Dems attack is not on just on Donald Trump. It’s on America. Does God have common sense? Does God regard the stealing of a stapler from an office the same as He regards the molesting a child? Some religious people say sin is sin. But doesn’t that suggest that human beings have more common sense than God?Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The ends justify the means for the Left. If it suits them to call any criticism of George Soros antisemitic, they will. Soros was born Jewish but doesn’t identify as a Jew. Isn’t your self-identity everything to the left?... Why is Trump charged with 34 counts? Alvin Bragg’s office is supposedly shorthanded. That’s one reason he lets so many criminals go unpunished. But when it comes to a former president who happens to be a Republican, Bragg finds plenty of personnel to do his dirty work… Dennis talks to Alan Dershowitz, legendary Harvard Law Professor.

Julie and Dennis explore maintaining integrity. Meeting great people through being a public figure with conservative values has been a blessing in Dennis’ life. They address a NYT’s article, Private Dinner Party - Clothing Not Allowed: The Füde Dinner Experience gathers those who want to meet, eat and drink - only after leaving their clothes at the door. Self-love …what is it? Unconditional love… is fine for an infant, but not much else. Media reporting has changed over the years, more pictures, less words… more opinion, less facts. Was John Hersey the father of this new emotional appeal style of reporting? Women have a proclivity towards bisexuality and men have a proclivity for polygamy. A fellow student at Harvard once told Julie, while bragging about cheating… “life is a game… you win or you lose, and everyone is playing dirty, so you better do whatever you can to win.” Is expressing morality perceived as a sign of weakness today’s woke society? Do you believe what you say… or do you simply say things to fit an agenda or to garner attention? CA Gov. Gavin Newsom mandated some of the strictest mask laws in the country, meanwhile attending a dinner at the French Laundry maskless. For Dennis… “there is no sum of money that could get me to lie!” How can one be genuinely proud of one’s accomplishments if one doesn’t achieve them through one’s own merit? For Julie… “in today’s society one’s impulses are condoned, not controlled!” Are dignity, modesty, and humility dead?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump has been indicted by the NYC DA, Alvin Bragg. The ostensible charge is a campaign violation, but the real reason for the indictment is entirely political. We have entered banana republic territory. Giving in to despair can't make you happy. It's also a victory for the forces of darkness. Being happy is act of defiance. Issues raised include: does every generation rise to the fight evil: can two members of same sex actually be “married.” Dennis talks to Emily Ariens, PragerForce member from Australia.

It’s understandable that those who identify as transgender harbor anger. They will never be fully accepted by society. They are pretending to be a sex they’re not… The President meddles in Israel’s internal affairs. He wants a left-wing government there — and everywhere. New York women are getting together to have dinner — naked. Would they admit a transgender?... Chicago will choose a new mayor next week. Both candidates are on the left, but one, backed by the teachers union, is more left than the other… Dennis talks to Olivia Rutowski, a PragerForce college student in Buffalo, NY. Dennis talks to Michael Doran, Senior Fellow at the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East at the Hudson Institute. The topic is the Iran, China, and Russia alliance and what it means to the US and Israel… Dennis returns to naked dinners in NYC… A politician’s policies and values are more important than his personality.

The left is in the process of turning the Nashville Catholic school murderer into a victim. The killer pretended to be a man. That makes her a de facto victim, no matter how horrible the crime she committed. How many men require virginity in their prospective spouse? Is this still a thing or just a thing of the past? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers. In Ontario, Canada 2+2=whatever you want it to. Shockingly, math proficiency is in decline in the province. The left destroys everything it touches.

Another terrible school shooting took place in Nashville yesterday. A woman who calls herself a man murdered six people, including three small children. The legacy media like the NY Times twisted itself into knots trying not to “misgender” the killer… Dennis talks to Avery Puls, PragerForce high school student. AOC released a doozy two days ago railing against “cisgender heteronormative patriarchy.” Dennis talks to Eugene Kontorovich, professor law at George Mason.

Should our national credo be America First? Does that mean America Only? Or do we have responsibility to other countries in the world? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers. Dennis lauds the efforts of champion swimmer Riley Gaines to keep women’s sports for women… Dennis talks to Jill Simonian, creative director for PragerU Kids. Can you name any government organization that works over the long run? Sure, they might work at the beginning, but over time, they stop working. It’s the nature of government bureaucracy.

Julie and Dennis bounce off the news story of a de-transitioned teen suing Kaiser Permanente for performing a double mastectomy on her at the age of thirteen, claiming 'intentional fraud.' Dennis asks Julie if a percentage of her generation are aware of how crazy we’ve become? We're living in an age of madness… the speed with which people accept the absurd is astonishing. Julie answers that they are bombarded by the never-ending woke onslaught. There is resignation to take a stand, tuning out is easier… they know things are absurd, but cannot emotionally process how badly they’ve been screwed. They have been deprived of religion and patriotism, and drowned by wokeness, substances, and social media. What has happened to our trust of doctors and the medical system since the Covid lockdowns and the advent of gender affirming care?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

World Athletics on Thursday announced its decision to exclude transgender female athletes who have been through male puberty from world rankings competitions. Why are there so many unhappy young Americans? They have been deprived of religion and patriotism and bombarded with wokeness, substances, and social media. Dennis talks with Julie Hartman, of “Timeless” and “Dennis and Julie,” about how PragerU has changed her life. Issues raised include: we need to educate young people and why America is great; a guy I know has all this old audio equipment, can you enlighten him on what the components may be; your take on biblical animals and why God made animals violent against each other; I am under censorship at my job because they do not want anyone public political posting; what are your thoughts on animal sacrifice during biblical times.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
