Ep. 352 — Paganism at the Paris Olympics

Ep. 351 — Did Divine Intervention Save Trump?

If you’ve seen the models of how close the would-be assassin’s bullets came to killing former President Trump, you can understand why many feel that God intervened. But is that warranted? Can we ever know God’s plans or why one life is spared and another is not? Dennis explores this and more, answers your questions, and shares valuable life lessons from his childhood in this week’s Fireside Chat. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 350 — The Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump

If Donald Trump is truly the “fascist Nazi” that many on the left claim he is, why wouldn’t you do everything possible to prevent him from gaining power? You can’t have it both ways—saying he’s a dictator that threatens American democracy but being relieved that an attempt to assassinate him failed. This week, Dennis explores the broader philosophical implications of the attempted assassination of former president and presidential candidate Donald Trump. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 348 — 1776: A Legacy Worth Celebrating

On July 4, 1776, the Founders declared America's independence from Great Britain, initiating the greatest experiment in liberty in human history. However, with the decline of America’s education system, left-wing narratives like The 1619 Project, and the defamation of our Founding Fathers as nothing more than racist slave owners, the true significance of Independence Day is being forgotten by many Americans. But PragerU is changing that! Watch PragerU’s 4th of July Declaration Ceremony and download instructions to host your own. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 347 — Health Cannot Replace Morality

Why is abortion termed “reproductive health” while overlooking the moral implications of ending a life? Why do we limit cigarette smoking due to health risks but show less concern for the moral consequences of alcohol abuse? Dennis explores how America’s shift from morality to an obsession with health is reshaping our society. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 346 — Election Integrity: Europe vs. America

In recent European elections, there were few concerns about integrity or contested results, unlike in the U.S. Could the lack of voter ID requirements in America, the replacement of paper ballots with electronic voting, and the shift from an election day to an election month suggest potential manipulation? Dennis explores what these contrasts reveal about election security in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 345 — The Best Advertisement for Atheism

In 250 years of American history, this has never happened.

Ep. 341 — The Day Hamas Surrenders, This Will Happen

Every single death in Gaza is attributable to Hamas, not Israel—just as every dead German was because of the Nazis and Hitler, and every dead Japanese was due to the fascist regime in Japan during WWII. In both cases, the day Germany and Japan surrendered, the bombing stopped. The same is true today. If Hamas surrendered, not one more bomb would be dropped. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 340 — Smart People without Wisdom Are Fools

The world does not lack brains. There are many smart people, but few are wise. College professors are often bright, well-read, and full of knowledge, yet most are fools, and they do a lot of damage. Wisdom is everything—we need it now more than ever, but how do we get it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 339 — Genocide, Apartheid, and the Cheapening of Words

Dennis was brought to Washington, D.C. to debate those who claim Israel is an apartheid state that is committing genocide. The left understands that if you say anything enough—no matter how crazy, absurd, or factually incorrect it may be—people will believe it. That is why they toss around terms like “racism,” “apartheid,” and “genocide” without any regard for their true meaning. The left is cheapening words, destroying language, and with it, truth itself.

Mr. Prager, why haven't we utilized our first amendment right to petition a formal redress of grievances before our Congress?

Guys...when you're so obsessed with what's in other people's pants, it's because the problem is YOU. YOU'RE the perverts. Normal, sexually healthy people don't speak/behave like you do. Everyone thinks you're creepy and depraved because you're consumed by thoughts of pedophiles and "grooming" and are constantly talking about sexualized children. Healthy people don't do what you're doing. It's disturbing and bizarre. I know you guys think "the left" are the "groomers," but you're making a spectacle of yourselves and freaking everyone else out. STOP obsessing about children! Go see a therapist, for Pete's sake.

As an atheist with lots of atheist friends and loved ones, I can confidently assure all of you that we pay very little attention to what religious people do or don't do. As long as your not forcing your beliefs on everyone else, nobody cares. It's really weird and narcissistic how you guys just NEED to believe that everybody hates you, and that obsession has led you guys into some serious blunders lately. Revoking women's constitutionally protected right not to be some man's baby incubator, for example, was a really stupid move that is already coming back to haunt you. You can practice your backwards, bigoted religion in your own homes and churches, but you need to accept the fact that your beliefs are literally incompatible with modern life, and that everyone has seen how hypocritical and hateful Christians are and wants nothing to do with you. All everyone wants is for you conflicted people to mind your own business and leave everyone else alone. Why is that so hard to understand?
