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 painless.  For example: raising children… it’s worth it… but it has its price.  Making a family requires a sacrifice of freedom.  You can not have it all!  Callers weigh in.  Issues raised include:  I want to inform you about a Shabbat with a drag queen story hour targeting kids; my daughter hates capitalism yet she has been in many advertisement companies; could we split the states in half so we don't have to live with these crazy people; I shared the cartoon you posted on your page and they banned me on Facebook; I am an attorney representing a California School district in a transgender case, and need advice on theology; do you feel that the sentences the Proud Boys received was unfair?

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 aisle.

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, with no respite in sight.  Inspired by a cartoon Dennis saw, he discusses women criticizing their husbands. Callers weigh in.  Dennis is joined in studio by Barak Lurie, attorney, and author of several books, his latest: Keeping the Kids All Right: How to Empower Your Children Against the Leftist Agenda —without homeschooling. https://a.co/d/fjo1FJ1 Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

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? Just look at Harvard’s course list… Barack Obama transformed the country — for the worst.  Dennis talks to Julie Kelly, investigative reporter. She has a Substack page — Declassified. The topic is the continued political prosecution of those arrested for January 6 “offenses.”  How do you explain people who say they are religious and do bad things? The standard answer is: they’re not really religious. There’s truth to that, but it’s not the whole story. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

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 include: funerals versus celebrations of life; nonconfrontation of difficult reality; Numbers 15:39; lower taxes equals smaller government and smaller government equals less evil; the wise one is the one who sees consequences; Sowell’s - stage one thinking; good and evil; Adam and Eve… and the serpent.
