Thus, everybody needs some bad luck: it's how you prepare yourself for the curve balls life throws you.
Only one species on the planet can change itself for the better. You belong to that species. Don't waste the opportunity! Live, learn, grow.
Dennis Prager talks about one of humanity's biggest pursuits--happiness. It's mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Therapists and psychologists (and even pharmaceutical companies!) make their careers out of helping people be and feel happy. And we all know that being unhappy, and being around unhappy people, is no fun. Dennis will discuss why happiness, while great for personal and emotional reasons, is far more than a selfish pursuit. It is a moral obligation. Being happy around others is a necessary ingredient of growing up and accumulating friends. No one likes a Moody Mary. Also, more happiness makes for a better world. After all, how many of the world's dictators and tyrants are motivated by happiness? None! So, learn how to be happy and learn why being happy is so important.
When parents boast about their children with other people, what do most say first? Is it how nice they are to strangers? Or how much volunteering they did last year? Usually not. More often, they talk about their good grades in school, or the prestigious college they went to, or the much sought after summer internship they are on. But this is backwards. Acts of kindness are what parents should talk about with others, and what they should really praise their kids for. According to Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, the best way to make a better world is to praise people for what counts--goodness.
We have all had times in our relationships when we hurt a loved one, or a loved one hurt us. That's part of life. But not all of us know how to forgive, even when the other party has offered a sincere apology. In this Prager University course, UCLA psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Marmer shares the three types of forgiveness--exoneration, forbearance, and release--and explains why anyone who wants to mend meaningful relationships must first understand forgiveness. Internalizing Dr. Marmer's teaching can be an important first step, for many people, to keeping and fixing their most valued relationships.
What ever happened to letting "boys be boys?" Take these two cases: In one, a seven-year-old boy was sent home for nibbling a Pop Tart into a gun. In another, a teacher was so alarmed by a picture drawn by a student (of a sword fight), that the boy's parents were summoned in for a conference. In short, boys in America's schools are routinely punished for being active, competitive, and restless. In other words, boys can no longer be boys. Christina Hoff Sommers, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, explains how we can change this.
As a college graduate, the commencement speech is something that you can take with you into the world. America's universities have attracted some of the most successful and famous people to speak to graduates. Some commencement speakers deliver grand and inspiring speeches. Some don't say much. Our founder, Dennis Prager, has his own five-minute commencement speech he'd like to give to this year's college graduates. It's not the typical address, and not one you'd likely hear at most universities.
What is the most important thing in life? Money? Happiness? Love? Those things are certainly important, but what matters most is good values. What are values? They are what we consider more important than our feelings. For instance, just about everyone feels like eating junk food, but if you eat whatever you feel like eating you will end up obese and unhealthy. So then, what stops people from eating all the food they feel like eating? The answer is good values. Indeed a lack of good values is the root of virtually everything wrong with the world. In five minutes, learn why we should act based on values rather than our feelings.
Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wish I were ___"? Adjectives may have included: thinner, taller, smarter, etc. If so, you're like virtually everyone else, and afflicted by "The Missing Tile Syndrome."

TV personality Mike Rowe, star of "Dirty Jobs" and "Somebody's Gotta Do It," shares the dirty truth in PragerU's 2016 commencement address.
Even if you don't believe in God, do you wish you did? Even if you're an atheist or an agnostic, is there still good reason to act religiously? Peter Kreeft, philosophy professor at Boston College, explains why even atheists should want there to be a God, and how acting as if there is one may actually lead to you believing it.
Can working at McDonald's better prepare a young adult for life than attending college? For Haverford undergraduate Olivia Legaspi, college taught her that her feelings are more important than anything; but working at McDonald's she learned that serving others comes first. Which of those lessons is more important? Olivia Legaspi explains.

Question: Which American institution--one that prides itself on being open, democratic, and diverse--punishes its members severely for offering unpopular opinions, while it offers them a very narrow, limited worldview? Answer: Universities. Once the vanguard of open debate and free speech, colleges have become a place where alternative thinking goes to die. Students who speak out on behalf of traditional American ideals, unfortunately, are often silenced by college administrators. Learn how the college campus, a place that should be an intellectual melting pot, has turned into anything but, violating the rights of those who have alternate opinions.
Is "campaign finance reform" a good way to regulate money in politics? Nationally syndicated, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and best-selling author George Will shows that, despite the innocent name given by its proponents, campaign finance reform is really a euphemism for controlling free speech. If the goal is to get money out of politics, the real solution is to get politics out of money. In other words, shrink government. In five minutes, learn the truth.
Religious tolerance is a given in the West. But it's a historical aberration -- an ideological revolution created by the Puritans and pre-1776 Americans.

Larry Schweikart, best-selling author and professor of history at the University of Dayton, explains.

In this video, Attorney Eric George, who is representing PragerU, lays out our case. Be the jury.
What does it mean to be tolerant? The dictionary defines tolerance as respect for opinions, beliefs, and practices that differ from your own. But in our polarized cultural climate, it has come to mean something else entirely. Greg Koukl, president of Stand to Reason and author of Tactics, sorts it all out.
What once was the start of healthy debate is now just as often a catalyst for personal and professional destruction. “The mob” is out to cancel anyone who crosses it. Paris Dennard describes the problem and offers a solution.

Free speech and intellectual freedom are the civil rights issues of our time. Are you ready to defend them? That’s the question that former US Ambassador Nikki Haley poses in this challenging video.
There are a lot of partisan political issues out there, but election integrity shouldn’t be one of them.

Hans von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, explains.
In the aftermath of every mass shooting, we hear calls for “commonsense gun control.” But how do you determine which gun laws are common sense? Jason Riley, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, explores this loaded question.
Is evil rational? If it is, then how can we depend on reason alone to make a better world? Best-selling author Dennis Prager has a challenging answer.
Science tells us that the universe came into being via The Big Bang. But how do you get from energy and matter to a self-aware human being? That takes three additional Big Bangs that science cannot explain. Noted theologian, Frank Pastore, unravels this compelling mystery and, in the process, poses the ultimate question that every thinking person must face.
In our universities, newspapers, and television shows, it is a given that external forces are the cause of crime. If not for poverty, murder and rape would be much lower. If not for racism, America's inner cities would be far wealthier. So on and so on. At the core of this belief is that people are basically good, and it is society that makes them bad. This notion is simply not true. As Dennis Prager explains in this video, human nature is not basically good. It is not, though, basically bad. People are born more or less neutral. And it is incumbent upon parents, teachers, and yes, society, to turn children into good adults. It doesn't happen on its own.
Belief in God, according to atheists, is irrational, illogical, and dumb. Belief that the universe created itself is, they say, intelligent, rational, and based in science. This is simply false. Nothing can create itself. Everything has a cause -- including the universe. That cause, argues Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy at Boston College, is God, the "unmoved mover." Belief in God, as Kreeft shows, is more rational than belief in nothing. Logic, science, and reason, support God. Atheism, as you'll see, is far more steeped in blind faith than is belief.
Isn't human suffering proof that a just, all-powerful God must not exist? On the contrary, says Boston College Professor of Philosophy Peter Kreeft. How can "suffering" exist without an objective standard against which to judge it? Absent a standard, there is no justice. If there is no justice, there is no injustice. And if there is no injustice, there is no suffering. On the other hand, if justice exists, God exists. In five minutes, learn more.
Humanity has everything it needs to create a good world. We've had it for 3,000 years. It's the Ten Commandments -- ten basic, yet profound instructions for how to lead a moral life. If everyone followed the Ten Commandments, we would not need armies or police; marriages and families would be stronger; truth would be a paramount value. Dennis Prager explains how the Ten Commandments led to the creation of Western Civilization and why they remain relevant to your life today. This video course introduces a ten-part series.
God Wants Us to Be Free Although the First Commandment ("I am the Lord your God") appears simple at first glance, it actually set into motion the most revolutionary idea in human history -- ethical monotheism, the belief that there is one God whose main wish is that people treat each other decently. Dennis Prager explains that without this commandment, the following nine mean little. With it, the Ten Commandments become world-changing.
There Are More Idols than Ever Today, the idea of idol worship feels ancient and remote to many people. Thus, the Second Commandment, "You shall have no other gods," doesn't seem applicable in modern society. But the opposite is true. We have more false gods than ever -- art, education, fame, money, to name just a few. Over the past century, the worship of false gods has led to massive evil; Communism and Nazism are just two examples. On a personal level, the worship of false gods leads to unhappiness.
The Worst Sin You Can Commit Not all sins are equal. Some are worse than others. The worst one of all? Committing evil in the name of God. This commandment is often misunderstood because it's mistranslated. It's not concerned with saying God's name "in vain" like "God, did I have a terrible day at the office!" It's about using God's name in the commission of evil. We see this today when Islamists invoke God's name while they murder innocent people.
Don't be a Slave Setting aside of day of rest each week was a revolutionary concept when it was first introduced as the Fourth Commandment. But this commandment does more: it extends that day of rest to slaves and animals, and thus set in motion the slow process of ending slavery, and the compassionate treatment of animals. As Dennis Prager explains, the power of the Fourth Commandment to change your life is no less real today than it was for our ancient ancestors. Just ask the spouse of a workaholic how she would feel if her husband took off a day each week to spend with family and friends.
SHARE: Even if You Don't Feel Like it Children owe their parents one thing. And no, it's not love. The Fifth Commandment understands that sometimes it's difficult or even impossible to love your parents. But it's almost always possible to honor them. Dennis Prager explains what that means and why it's so important. And consider this: if your children see you honoring your parents they are much more likely to honor you.
You Can Kill, but You Can't Murder If asked to state this commandment, most people would say "Do Not Kill." This is understandable because the classic King James Bible translates it this way. But the English language has changed since 1610. Furthermore, Hebrew has two words for killing, just as English does. The correct translation, as Dennis Prager explains, is "Do Not Murder." Once you grasp this, the meaning of the commandment changes entirely.
The Best Way to Protect the Family Why do the Ten Commandments single out adultery as particularly harmful? Because adultery can destroy the foundational unit of a society -- the family. If exposed, adultery leads to a sense of betrayal. If hidden, it forces the offending spouse to lie. Children are often the unintended victims. This may be one of the most difficult Biblical laws to follow, but it's also one of the most important.
Keep This and You'll Keep Them All There is one commandment that, if followed by all of humanity, would instantly create a peaceful world: Do not steal. The Eighth Commandment implicitly prohibits murder (stealing a life), slavery (stealing a person's freedom), adultery (stealing a spouse), humiliation (stealing dignity), and so many other sins laid out in the Bible. If there is one commandment that summarizes the other nine, this one is it.
Lying is the Root of Evil The most important ingredient to building a moral society is truth, both inside and outside a courtroom. The prohibition against "bearing false witness" does not only demands that truth reign supreme in a trial, but that it is a societal value throughout the culture. Bad things happen when people believe lies. With truth, we can build a decent society. Without it, even the other nine commandments won't help.
The One Thought You Should Never Have There is only one commandment that prohibits a thought, and it is this: "Do Not Covet." Why does the Bible, which is preoccupied with behavior, legislate a thought? Because to covet, to want what belongs to someone else, is the root of the preceding four commandments and often leads to evil. Before someone murders, steals, lies, or commits adultery, the desire to take what is rightly someone else's usually comes first.
Why are we here? Literally. The latest science says we shouldn't be. It says that the chance life exists at all is less than zero. So, is science the greatest threat to the idea of Intelligent Design or is science its greatest advocate? Best-selling author and lecturer, Eric Metaxas, poses this intriguing question and comes up with a very unexpected and challenging answer.
Do humans have free will or are our decisions entirely products of chemistry, physics, and genetics? Is there a difference between the brain and the mind? Could a neuroscientist with enough knowledge of our brains know every decision that we'll make? The answers to these questions cut to the heart of what it means to be human.
If there is a God, why is there so much evil? How could any God that cares about right and wrong allow so much bad to happen? And if there is no God, who then determines what is right and what is wrong? The answers to these questions, as Boston College philosopher Peter Kreeft explains, go to the heart of ethics, morality and how we know what it means to be a decent person.
If you saw your dog and a stranger both drowning in the ocean, which would you save first? Your answer says, well, everything about how you see the world. Dennis Prager explains.
If there is no God, murder isn't wrong. You may think it's wrong, but how do you know it's wrong? As Dennis Prager explains, without God, all morality is mere opinion.
What happens after we die? Does everything just end? Or, is there something that comes after this life? Who hasn’t asked themselves these questions? In this compelling video, Dennis Prager deals with the issue of the afterlife head on.
What's a greater leap of faith: God or the Multiverse? What's the multiverse? Brian Keating, Professor of Physics at the University of California, San Diego, explains in this video.
Is God a man, a woman, or a genderless force that cannot be identified by masculine or feminine traits? Society offers a range of ideas, but what do religious texts have to say about this immutable characteristic of God? Dennis Prager offers some insightful answers.
What is the best book to read to your children? Which book most effectively conveys the values of love, compassion, hard work, justice, and virtue, and has the added benefit of endurance throughout history? Johnnie Moore, founder and CEO of The Kairos Company, explains the reasons why this longtime bestseller is the one every parent and child should read together.
As a therapist, Erica Komisar is often asked by parents, “How do I talk to my child about death if I don’t believe in God or heaven?” Her answer is always the same. Can you guess what it is?
Is there any meaning to life? Or is life nothing more than a cosmic accident? Scientific atheists claim the latter, but ironically, it’s science itself that suggests the former.
Chances are if you've heard anything about intelligent design, you’ve heard that it's faith-based, not science-based. Is that true? Or does modern science, in fact, point us in the direction of a designing intelligence?
Even staunch Darwinists have acknowledged that life in the universe displays an appearance of design, rather than being created out of random chance. If that’s true, where did that design come from? In other words, does a design require a designer?
Was the universe always here, or did it have a beginning? If so, how did it start? Mankind has debated these questions for centuries and has only recently begun to find some answers. And those answers may point to some even more intriguing conclusions.
Does belief in God get in the way of science? The idea that science and religion are inevitably in conflict is a popular way of thinking today. But the history of science tells a different story.
What is the oldest holiday that people still celebrate today? Christmas? Easter? Halloween? Good guesses, but all incorrect. Dennis Prager has another answer, one you probably haven’t considered. The more you know about this holiday, the more you realize its incomparable significance.
Are you a good person if you have good intentions? Many seem to think so, but there are a lot of problems with this belief. In fact, it’s the source of much of the evil in the world. Dennis Prager explains.
Did you know that the Founding Fathers referred to Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible, more than any other source? What is it about this book that is so special? Dennis Prager has answers.
The Middle East conflict is framed as one of the most complex problems in the world. But, in reality, it's very simple. Israelis want to live in peace and are willing to accept a neighboring Palestinian state. And most Palestinians do not want Israel to exist. As Dennis Prager explains, this is really all you need to know. In 5 minutes, understand how Israel was founded, and how, since that auspicious day in 1948, its neighbors have tried to destroy it, again and again.
A new history of the Great Depression is emerging. One that acknowledges the role that government played in causing and prolonging it, and the constructive role that free enterprise could have played, if it were given the chance. In this video, UCLA economist Lee Ohanian explains how Herbert Hoover, widely misunderstood as a champion of the free market, actually turned what should have just been a recession into a depression due to his mistrust of the market.
SHARE: Did the United States win or lose the Vietnam War? We are taught that it was a resounding loss for America, one that proves that intervening in the affairs of other nations is usually misguided. The truth is that our military won the war, but our politicians lost it. The Communists in North Vietnam actually signed a peace treaty, effectively surrendering. But the U.S. Congress didn't hold up its end of the bargain. In just five minutes, learn the truth about who really lost the Vietnam War.
Would you believe us if we said that the best litmus test of any society's success is its attitude towards Israel? Well, it's true. As George Gilder explains, whether a society envies and resents Israel's success or celebrates and tries to replicate it is indicative of that society's progress. Countries that "pass" the "Israel Test" tend to rise. Those who don't tend to sink. So, does your society pass the "Israel Test"? In five minutes, find out.
In recent years, many academics and others have condemned President Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as unnecessary and immoral. Yet this interpretation relies on a poor understanding of history that both lacks perspective and ignores context. Dropping the bomb shortened the war and saved countless lives -- both American and Japanese. In five minutes, Professor of History at Notre Dame, Father Wilson Miscamble, explains.
Were the Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages, characterized by oppression, ignorance, and backwardness in areas like human rights, science, health, and the arts? Or were they marked by progress and tolerance? Anthony Esolen, an English Literature professor at Providence College, explains.
When the state of Israel was founded in 1948, it was done so with the approval of the United Nations. But today, Israel's enemies routinely challenge the legitimacy of its very existence. So, under international law, who's right? Israel? Or its enemies?
What was perhaps the most determinative date in American history? July 4, 1776? Pearl Harbor? September 11? How about...July 28, 1588. Richard McMillan, Professor of History at Pierce College, explains why that seemingly random date is so important.
Why did America invade Iraq in 2003? Was it for oil? Or was it because Saddam Hussein was a mass-murdering dictator who harbored terrorists and threatened the region with Weapons of Mass Destruction? If it was the former, wouldn't it have been a lot easier to just buy Iraq's oil on the open market? And if it was the latter, why did Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and John Kerry support President Bush? Noted British historian, Andrew Roberts, has the answers.
Americans today place enormous pressure on presidents to "do something"...anything, to get the economy going. There was one president, though, Calvin Coolidge, who did "nothing" -- other than shrink government. What happened? America's economy boomed. Is there a lesson to be learned? Award-winning author, historian, and biographer Amity Shlaes thinks so.
What caused the Civil War? Did the North care about abolishing slavery? Did the South secede because of slavery? Or was it about something else entirely...perhaps states' rights? Colonel Ty Seidule, Professor of History at the United States Military Academy at West Point, settles the debate.
Was America's first billionaire, John D. Rockefeller, a greedy robber baron, a generous philanthropist, or both? And did the oil tycoon exploit America's poor or give them access to much-needed energy? Historian and Hillsdale College professor Burt Folsom, author of "The Myth of the Robber Barons," reveals the truth about the Rockefeller empire.

The answer provided in this video by Carol Swain, professor emeritus of political science and law at Vanderbilt University, may surprise you.
The decades-long “Cold War” (1947-1989) between the United States and the Soviet Union was so named because the two global powers never came to direct blows. Yet, the war was not without its victims. In fact, millions of Cubans, Koreans and Vietnamese suffered under Communist tyranny. In this video, Renowned British historian Andrew Roberts explains why “The Cold War” could just as easily be called “The Third World War.”

Warren Harding is not regarded as one of our most successful presidents. He’s more likely to be remembered for his scandals than his accomplishments. But given the problems he had to confront — massive war debt, high unemployment, and skyrocketing inflation — is this harsh appraisal fair? Renowned historian Amity Shlaes takes a fresh look at our 29th president.
Herbert Hoover, the 31st President of the United States, succeeded at almost everything he did. Yet he is best remembered for one failure: the Great Depression. Is that legacy justified? Historian Kenneth Whyte examines the evidence.
Americans today place enormous pressure on presidents to do “something" when there is a national crisis. But our 30th president Calvin Coolidge did “nothing” ...other than shrink the government. The result? America's economy boomed. Is there a lesson to be learned? Renowned historian Amity Shlaes thinks there is.
Spring 1787. The American Revolution had been won, but no one seemed to know how to govern the new nation. There was no chief executive, no agreement on taxes, or even how they should be collected. The country was teetering on the edge of anarchy. Something clearly had to be done, and quickly. What happened next is nothing short of a miracle. Historian Jay Cost tells the incredible story.
Abraham Lincoln admired him. So did Franklin Roosevelt. So did John F. Kennedy. Dozens of other presidents expressed similar sentiments. They were talking about Thomas Jefferson, America’s third president. Carol Swain explores why their praise was so well deserved.
America’s fifth president James Monroe, the last of America’s Founding Fathers, is also the least well known. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a giant among giants. He was. Author Chris DeRose tells his story.
From the day he joined the Continental Congress in 1780 through his second term as the fourth President of the United States, James Madison was in the middle of everything.

The Framers of the United States Constitution wanted to give more power to the people and less power to the government. This was a radical new idea, and it started with the Legislative Branch: the House of Representatives and the Senate. John Yoo, Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, explains.
Americans fought a long and bloody war to get rid of one tyrant, the English King, George III. They didn’t want to install a new one of their own making. So how did the Framers ensure that the President would have enough power to be an effective chief executive, without making him a dictator? John Yoo, Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, has the answer.
The Supreme Court seems to have the final say over every controversial issue from abortion to gun control to same-sex marriage. But is that what the Framers of the Constitution intended? Sherif Girgis, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame, has the answer.

Allen Guelzo, Distinguished Research Scholar in the James Madison Program at Princeton University, tells Jackson’s story.
The first person to fully realize the value of organizing around a political party was the eighth President of the United States, Martin Van Buren. The party he helped to create is still thriving today. Wilfred McClay, professor of history at Hillsdale College and author of Land of Hope, explains how Van Buren shaped America’s political destiny.
William Henry Harrison, the first Whig president, died shortly after taking office. Though he didn’t live long enough to enact his ambitious agenda, it would be a serious mistake to underestimate his contribution to the American story. Richard Lim, host of the This American President podcast, explains why Harrison matters.
The year was 1841. No president had ever before died in office. And then one did. Who would take over as chief executive? The Constitution was surprisingly vague on this question—until Vice President John Tyler took a firm stance. His actions changed the direction of American history. Jared Cohen, author of Accidental Presidents: Eight Men Who Changed America, tells Tyler’s little-known story.
The Constitution has been amended 27 times. The most famous amendments are the first ten: the Bill of Rights. But what do you know about the others? John Yoo, Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, breaks them down.
James K. Polk believed that America was destined to expand west. Did this make him an imperialist or an agent for freedom and opportunity? Wilfred McClay, professor of history at Hillsdale College, sets the record straight about the 11th President of the United States.
Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute shows why price ceilings on apartments hurt those it intends to help -- but also why rent control is here to stay. She explains the background of rent control in America (focusing on New York in particular) and the negative effect it has on prospective renters and on the quality of rent-controlled apartments. Did you know that landlords of rent controlled apartments in New York City rarely improve their properties? Watch this video and learn why. Hint: They know that there's a long line of people ready to move in if their current tenants get fed up. And even though evidence suggests (and economists on the Left and Right agree) that rent control is self-destructive, the voters love it!
Should Taxes Be Higher? It's the million dollar question! Up? Down? No change? Where in the world should taxes go? In election years, the question of tax rates fills the airwaves. In non-election years, the question of tax rates, again, fills the airwaves. So what's the answer? George Mason University Professor of Economics Tim Groseclose explains his research on the topic. Basically, there's a certain point at which higher tax rates actually reduce the amount of revenue the government collects. What's that point? When are tax rates too high? Learn a valuable lesson in economics, and public policy.
Fact: America's national debt stands at $17 trillion. That's a tough number to grasp. Most people will never come close to making $1 million in any given year. How can we understand the magnitude of the hole our country is in? Well, imagine you owed your credit card company $200,000. On top of that you have to pay them about $4,000 per year in interest. You are bringing in $150,000 per year, but you are spending way more than that. How are you going to ever pay back that $200,000 debt? And what happens if you default? Well, that is America today. The problem is clear. And we brought Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, to propose a solution.
Cultural depictions of capitalism are almost all negative. There's the Monopoly guy with the top hat and cigar. There's Gordon Gekko saying, "Greed is good." And, most recently, there's the hedonism of the "Wolf of Wall Street." The message is clear: capitalism is selfish. Socialism, or something like it, is selfless. In fact, the opposite is true. Renowned social critic George Gilder offers this startling insight: capitalism, at its core, is first an expression of altruism, that is, of giving. An entrepreneur can only succeed by satisfying a customer's need. This is why capitalism, and only capitalism, can create the prosperity that all societies crave and why all other economic prescriptions are doomed to failure.

So does renowned social scientist, Arthur Brooks. In five minutes, he explains how happiness and free enterprise are marvelously entwined.
The U.S. government has spent trillions of dollars in recent decades attempting to combat poverty, yet the poverty rate has remained virtually unmoved. Why? As social economist Michael Tanner explains, the "War on Poverty" has both discouraged work and ensnared people in hardship. The "War on Poverty," it turns out, is actually a "War on Work." In five minutes, learn the truth about government's counterproductive efforts to eliminate poverty.
SHARE: Why are some countries rich and some countries poor? Is it access to natural resources? Is it tax policy? A motivated work force? These are important, but not determinative. The answer is deceptively simple - it's what's in our heads: knowledge. Thus, the surest way to promote economic growth is to cultivate an environment that encourages the spread of knowledge. Such an environment requires freedom, which is why the freest societies are the most prosperous. In five minutes, economist George Gilder explains why.
Does the minimum wage help Americans who are in financial straits? No. In fact, it makes their lives worse. Learn why in this short video.
Everyone complains about America's debt, and rightly so, but how do we get out of it? As Cato's Michael Tanner explains, spending on entitlement programs -- Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid -- has exploded in recent decades. We must slow their growth or they will soon swallow the entire federal budget. In five minutes, learn how America can preserve these programs and get out of debt.
Want to quickly understand the basics of running a business? Then studying your neighborhood lemonade stand is a great place to start. From supply and demand, to pricing, marketing and the costs of labor and supplies, lemonade stands provide a fundamental, albeit simple, way of understanding how hard it is to make a buck, and how much harder it is when the government takes its cut.
What's the perfect minimum wage: is it $10 an hour? $15? $20? How about zero? That's right. Zero. While Congress discusses a minimum wage hike, economist David Henderson shows that any minimum wage makes it harder for unemployed people (particularly young people) to find work, and forces business owners to cut the hours of lower-skilled employees.
"The Progressive Income Tax" is one of those economic terms that gets bandied about, but few actually know what it means or how it works.

Kelly, a college student, also works full-time at a nearby grocery store. But her hours were just cut to 29 per week. Why? Because of a new regulation on employers imposed by the Affordable Care Act; a regulation harming millions of working Americans. Learn more in this one-minute video.
Should the government bail out big banks that may otherwise go bankrupt? Or should it let them go under, as it did with Lehman Brothers in 2008? Economist Nicole Gelinas, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has the answer, and it will have big implications for policymakers when they grapple with the next economic crisis.
Is capitalism moral or greedy? If it's based on greed and selfishness, what's the best alternative economic system? Perhaps socialism? And if capitalism is moral, what makes it so? Walter Williams, a renowned economist at George Mason University, answers these questions and more.
Why does student debt keep going up and up even as it's harder and harder to find a good job with a college degree?

Find out in this animated two-minute video.
From transportation to energy, and everything in between, should the government invest money in as many promising projects as possible? Or would that actually doom many of those ventures to failure?

Look for the source of a society’s collapse, and you’ll usually find the i-word (inflation) at its core. So what exactly is inflation? How does it work? Why is it so dangerous? And how does it affect your everyday life? Steve Forbes breaks it down.
It’s hard to imagine how we could screw up higher education any more than we already have, but we’re about to—if we make sweeping student loan forgiveness a reality. How? To answer this question, we must start by asking another one: cui bono?
In every society throughout human history the following relationship has held true: as government grows, human freedom and happiness shrinks. Best selling author, Dennis Prager puts it this way: "The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen." This has been true in Europe for decades and is becoming ever more so in the United States. But it's not the kind of nation, the Founding Fathers had in mind. Can we get back to the principles of liberty and individual responsibility? It's a big challenge. But first we have to recognize the problem.
Over the past 50 years, the purpose of the American government has radically transformed. Whereas its main goal in domestic matters used to be to protect liberty, it is now an entitlements machine, transferring over $2 trillion per year from some people's pockets to others. Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute explains how the explosions in social security, medicare, medicaid, and other welfare programs are changing the American character for the worse--from one that is focused on individual responsibility and giving, to one that is focused on grabbing as much of the pie as possible.
Are most college professors liberal? Yes, says Penn State Associate Professor of Political Science and Philosophy Matthew Woessner.

Author, lawyer and Electoral College expert Tara Ross does, and she explains that to understand the Electoral College is to understand American democracy.
Right now, there's a well-organized, below-the-radar effort to render the Electoral College effectively useless.

What in the world happened to the liberal arts? A degree in the humanities used to transmit the knowledge and wisdom imbued in the works of great Western artists, writers, musicians and thinkers like Shakespeare and Mozart. But today, that same degree stresses Western racism, sexism, imperialism, and other ills and sins that reinforce a sense of victimhood and narcissism. So, what happened? Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute explains.
Successful liberals live by conservative values. It's true. The liberal musician, the liberal chef, the liberal writer -- all swear by things conservatives love, like competition, earned reward, and, yes, profit and the bottom line. Greg Gutfeld, bestselling author of, "How To Be Right: The Art of Being Persuasively Correct", explains. ORDER "How to Be Right".

Dennis Prager's Left-Right Differences Series Part 4: How Do You Deal With Painful Truths? How do Conservatives and Liberals differ?

Did President Trump call neo-Nazis “very fine people” during a famous press conference following the Charlottesville riots of August 2017? The major media reported that he did.

That’s what CNN political analyst Steve Cortes does in this critically important video.
They’ve saved the free world more than once. And they’re on the job preserving the peace right now.

The most influential news source in the world is the New York Times. Every day, hundreds of newspapers and news stations around the world follow its lead. After all, isn’t the Times the gold standard of journalism? Investigative reporter Ashley Rindsberg reveals the truth in this eye-opening video.
Capitalism is the source of all evil. If we can just get rid of the capitalist system, we can eliminate poverty, inequality, exploitation, class conflict, and war. This is what Karl Marx believed, and many today still follow his lead. But is his utopian vision possible? And would we want it even if it were?
Private property, wage labor, competition, and profits — under Karl Marx’s world view, these would have to go. Instead of self-interest, everybody would work for the benefit of everybody else. For many, this is a very seductive idea. Is this the dream we should aspire to? Or would it be a nightmare?
Workers of the world, unite! Karl Marx’s famous call to action never caught on with its intended target, the working class.

We hear it all the time: "America is patriarchal!", "American women are oppressed!". Well, a lifelong feminist and former National Organization for Women member, Tammy Bruce, is tired of hearing it--and she has a solution laid out in our newest video: Feminism 2.0.

"Social Justice" is a term you hear almost every day. But did you ever hear anybody define what it actually means?

What sounds so caring and noble turns out to be something very different.
Women in America are the freest in the world, yet many feminists tell us women are oppressed. They advocate this falsehood through victim mentality propaganda and misleading statistics, such as the gender wage gap myth. In five minutes, American Enterprise Institute's Christina Hoff Sommers tells you the truth about feminism.
Is Israel an "apartheid state," as its enemies claim? Who better to answer that charge than a black South African who lived through apartheid? Kenneth Meshoe, a member of the South African parliament, fits that bill. He examines the evidence against Israel, and draws a compelling conclusion.
To call someone a racist is a serious charge. A racist is someone who believes that one person is superior (or inferior) to another person simply based on their skin color. It's a belief that is both foolish and stupid. But conservatives are accused by progressives of being racist on an almost daily basis. Is it a fair accusation? Or, is it just political posturing? And, if it is political posturing, what does it say about the people making the charge? Derryck Green of Project 21 has some provocative answers.
America's campuses, particularly those in California, spend tens of millions of dollars on administrators and programs to combat issues like sexism, homophobia, and racism on campus. But are these problems in any way prevalent at our universities? Or is this diversity bureaucracy a big waste of money? Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute explains.
Does race trump truth? In a confrontation between police and perpetrators, what is more important? Facts or skin color? When protests morph into riots, do we excuse bad behavior based on race? If we do, how are we ever going to end racism? Chloe Valdary, a student at the University of New Orleans, confronts these critical questions and offers a compelling answer.
Is America racist? Is it -- as President Barack Obama said -- "part of our DNA"? Author and talk-show host Larry Elder examines America's legacy of racism, whether it's one we can ever escape, and in the process offers a different way of looking at things like Ferguson, crime, police and racial profiling.
Which poses a bigger threat to black communities: Racism? Or the absence of fathers? Drawing on a sea of official data and his own upbringing, talk-show host Larry Elder shows just how important black fathers are in turning boys into responsible and happy men--and how their absence has had a tragic impact on millions of black Americans.

Why does the left produce mean people? In this week's Fireside Chat, Dennis Prager discusses his son's recent encounter with a leftist. To justify their behavior towards those with different views, the left simply demonizes them as bad people.

He continues with thoughts on Kanye West’s transformation, authenticity, and potential impact on culture.
This week, Dennis Prager addresses the lies the left tells, including the outrageous claim that men can have periods, too. He then discusses his appearance on Bill Maher's show and how the left always says that conservatives over-exaggerate their claims. Tune in!
It's a common question: How do you stay happy when our liberties and freedoms (particularly on college campuses) are under assault? Dennis weighs in in this latest Fireside Chat.
This week’s Fireside Chat is all about Dennis’s specialty: Gratitude. You cannot be a happy or good person without being grateful. Our society cultivates ungratefulness, which only leads to swaths of unhappy people and disastrous consequences.
This week’s Fireside Chat is inspired by Dennis Prager’s recent column: "What the Left Tells Young Americans." Dennis lists some of the messages the left pushes to young people, all of which are lies. Why? Because they're unhappy and want you to be, too.
This week, Dennis Prager addresses why the rates of depression among college students are the highest ever recorded. No desire to have a family, no religion, and contempt for America are several contributing factors to this rise.

How can you make the most of your New Year’s resolutions? Dennis Prager provides some helpful advice and shares why resolutions are good (hint: they show that you are trying to improve your life in some way)!
If your house was on fire, would you be more concerned with the character of the firefighters or with their ability to save your house from that fire? It is the same with Presidents. Character is important—yet in some cases, even character is secondary to the vital job at hand.
The left-wing media is threatened by the reach and influence of PragerU. Since their reporters cannot demonstrate any evidence of lies or misinformation, they resort to smear tactics. The New York Times and Newsweek are the most recent examples. Newsweek's was so outrageous, in fact, that they issued a retraction just yesterday (after the filming of this episode).
No one wants to be judged by the remarks they have made in private. Yet many people judge (if not obsess over) the private remarks of others. Let's talk about this.
More than a third of millennials now approve of communism. Dennis Prager discusses why this disturbing fact is a result of the poor education system. Students today are not taught to understand the evils of communism and why it is a dangerous ideology.
Young Americans have been taught to feel unlucky and oppressed, despite living in the freest and most prosperous country on Earth. This is a very damaging concept from the left. Although there are challenges in life, it’s important to be grateful. Dennis Prager discusses why.
The education system is saturated in leftism—and not just in the U.S. Students worldwide who question leftist orthodoxy are often left feeling isolated. Dennis Prager speaks to several of those international students who have found a needed community in PragerFORCE. It was a joy to visit with these bright and compassionate students!
Should America's military be the world's strongest? A Pew Research study shows that many young people under 30 believe other nations should be as militarily powerful as the U.S. It's an incredible position to hold, considering the reality. Dennis Prager explains how young people have been so misled in this latest Fireside Chat!
Every attack from the left validates our message and its importance. Dennis Prager discusses the absurd smear attempt by Samantha Bee on national television and its fantastic (unintended) outcome. Enjoy!
This week’s episode is inspired by a story out of the University of Montana and their cries of racism where there is none. Why do people have the desire to find racism in every aspect of society? Answer: Humans cannot be happy without meaning; so when you lack meaning in your life, you invent false evils to fill the void.
They may be the two most important questions one can ask: Are people basically good? And how do you make good people? In other words, is the ultimate goal of parenting to raise children to be good rather than merely to feel good? Don't miss the special video question with Candace Owens!
You can't expect to live a full life without assuming some risk. There's a spectrum between precaution and panic, and if isn't well-calibrated you can miss out on the best things life has to offer.
There is no such thing as a pain-free life, and the earlier you understand that pain is inevitable, the happier you will be. This Fireside Chat is dedicated to the silver linings found in difficult times.
Are we taking reasonable measures to fight the coronavirus? Could destroying our economy, livelihoods, and businesses cause more damage than the illness? Dennis answers some tough questions and offers productive things to do during this difficult time.
The big topic no one's talking about: Who are the most vulnerable to the social and economic devastation of the coronavirus quarantine? It's probably not the group you suspect. Dennis also replies to some arguments made: memes, tweets, and direct disagreements. Enjoy.
Can you guess which topics elicit the most mockery? God, religion, and morality. In the absence of a rational argument, mockery takes its place. Dennis responds to those comments and asks whether science is able to offer answers to life's greatest questions: knowing right from wrong and good from evil. Enjoy!
Yet again, predictive computer models fail to predict. The coronavirus variance from region to region appears to contradict those models—and the quarantine and lockdown strategies recommended by experts do as well. What to make of it all? Dennis offers his thoughts.
Is adulthood defined by age? Not really. As soon as you understand the one question which applies to all decisions in life, congratulations: You have entered adulthood. Dennis explains this most interesting concept and asks & answers why hydroxychloroquine remains so controversial, even though it is saving lives. Enjoy!
The fear of pain may hold you back from a joyous life. And so Dennis's advice of the week is: Don't take unnecessary risks, but also do not let fear, safety, or mortality completely preoccupy you. "Playing it safe" leads to its own undesired consequences—and pain is a part of life. You can't escape it!
COVID-19 is a dress rehearsal for a police state. Dennis Prager is taking a bold stance on the coronavirus because he is dedicated to truth. He also addresses the left's contempt for working people, the growing threat of a police state, and the danger of putting our health above our rights and freedoms.
The LA Times reports that extreme poverty may be the pandemic’s heaviest toll. But it isn't the virus causing this suffering—it's the lockdown. Dennis also addresses the latest new media lie about him—these leftists are determined to discredit Dennis, but they are just too easily proven wrong every time they try.
Liberty and freedom are very rare in human history. The human instinct is not to yearn for liberty—humans yearn to be taken care of. Generally, by the government (socialism & communism). America's founders knew that limited government and liberty are key to a free society—but we are now witnessing that as Americans become more secular, they value liberty much less.
Facebook is going after PragerU! They claim to be an open forum, yet label content as "False Information" simply because their "fact-checkers" disagree with it (yet fail to prove is incorrect). Tune in to hear Dennis explain how freedom is actually supposed to work.
Do you let your race, gender, or orientation define you? If you are on the left, everything is perceived through the lens of identity politics. Systemic racism is not the real issue plaguing America—it is our opposing values system. Dennis Prager offers some refreshing insight into how to heal our broken nation.
Our society is rooted in freedom, yet "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." We must conscientiously fight to preserve it amidst the destructive ideas of the left. This week, Dennis discusses how the protests are a sham based on the myth of systemic racism, and why defunding the police will do more harm to black communities.
This is what happens when society enters an anti-religious and anti-rational age. Hysteria. On race, this should be the ideal: We are all American, living in a melting pot of racial integration. The left encourages just the opposite: segregation. Enjoy Dennis's thoughts on these weighty issues.
Are blood relatives really the most important relationships? Many say yes, but think about this: family doesn’t have to be blood. Ultimately, the goal is to be color-blind and blood-blind. Dennis explains.
“We are witnessing one of the most irrational developments in the history of the world.” The left is a destructive force, raising an entire generation to think that this country is racist, misogynist, and imperialist. If America is so racist, why is it the most popular country for people to immigrate to? Did they not get the memo?
Here are Dennis Prager's 5 arguments against the biggest lie of our time—that America is a racist society.
Former police officer and popular conservative commentator Brandon Tatum joins Dennis this week to discuss Brandon’s path to conservatism, the NFL, having courage, dealing with hate, defunding the police, and more. Enjoy!
The difference between police and no police is the difference between order and chaos. This week is PragerU’s #backtheblue campaign and Dennis asks: What does defunding the police actually mean? What is the likely result? Sadly, we don't have to wonder.
Young people are enamored with "anti-racist" rhetoric because they think they are fighting racist systems in America. The TRUTH is they are fighting America itself and the very values the country was founded on. Dennis identifies the best thing we can do to help.
Why is there so much hate and mockery around a single medication? Is there really no evidence of its efficacy? Dennis Prager has been following this politicized medication for months and provides scientific facts that the mainstream media attempts to suppress.
In a revealing new development, teachers openly lament that at-home learning allows parents to hear their lessons. Others agree that this is "dangerous," and say they need to be able to indoctrinate in a “parentless" way. As Dennis explains, severing parental authority is exactly what every cult must achieve.
It is difficult to value liberty without a strong understanding of history. Because naturally, humans desire equality over liberty. Yet anytime a society strives for equality of result, it will necessarily sacrifice freedom. America's preference, Dennis explains, is that we are all equal before God and the law, and results are up to you.
Judging a person by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin is what being "color-blind" means. The left, however, calls it racist. Dennis Prager explains why leftism is antithetical to justice and equality.
Dennis reflects on the state of our nation after hearing a crowd of American rioters chant “Death to America”. How did we get here?
Character development was a primary focus in education until the 1960s. But now, with the ascent of left-wing ideas in schools, children are taught to blame America or "society" for their problems. The great tragedy of this, of course, is that if you think society is to blame, why would you take any action to help yourself?
How do you determine right from wrong, good from evil? Two perspectives are dominant: the Judeo-Christian view and the Leftist/Marxist approach. The first approach is the reason America has been such a remarkably good and decent society compared to all others—and Dennis explains why it remains crucial for maintaining a good society.
This week Dennis is joined by former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders! Together they discuss the importance of courage, attacks by the media, and her new book, "Speaking for Myself."
2020's first Presidential debate showcased a striking departure in civility and sophistication. Is it a mirror of our society at large? Our modern culture does appear to confirm it: society is in decline.
Should a president incite fear or temper fear? The media have their opinion; Dennis has another. He also explains why “follow the science” is not the same as “follow the scientist" in this latest Fireside Chat. Enjoy!
An outstanding conversation with Douglas Murray: How the left became so radical—the lack of debate, "anti-racism" training, corporate wokeness, critical race theory, and infantile thinking. Plus, some excellent advice for those afraid to speak their minds. Enjoy!
Until COVID, we had been living in a golden age in America—and it's easy to take such a privileged life for granted. The unemployment rate had been at an all-time low (particularly for minorities). But Americans need to understand how important it is to earn your way through life, rather than be given everything. Dennis explains.
Many Americans don't agree with the positions of the left, but they are afraid to be honest when confronted with questions. It's a very new, and very troubling problem in modern America — and Dennis offers his advice.
The United States held a presidential election this week, and though the result is still yet to be determined, one thing is clear: Americans have very different values and views of the world. Dennis explains.
Families are dividing today over politics, and few things upset Dennis Prager more than seeing families destroyed. There's a common thread in these cruel situations; do you know what it is?
There is a cost of locking down the country, just as there is a cost of NOT locking it down. Every decision comes with a price, but in the case of coronavirus, too few are asking—or caring—what that is.
Have Americans become so preoccupied with "safety" that they have welcomed tyranny? Dennis Prager weighs in on the balance between living life responsibly and living life fully in this Thanksgiving 2020 edition of Fireside Chat. Enjoy!
Why do a growing number of Americans believe capitalism is greedy, selfish, even evil? Dennis reacts to misconceptions about free market capitalism and explains why it is the morally superior way of organizing economic behavior.
"All white people are racist." Dennis Prager discusses the propaganda kids are learning in public schools today, including lies about stereotypes. He also explains why a preoccupation with inclusivity is dangerous and why the left doesn't actually believe all stereotypes are bad.
The pandemic has shown how much America has changed for the worse. Our American ancestors were incredibly courageous people but today, we live in fear—of illness, of our fellow neighbors, of intellectual diversity, of alternative ideas, of climate change, of dying from COVID. The world never stopped before because of a virus. How did Americans become conditioned to be so fearful?
Christmas songs, trees, parties, traditions, presents—it's such a wholesome, warm & joyous time, and everyone should get to experience that feeling this season. It's important! Dennis explains why.
We’ve all heard it: “I don't believe in God, I believe in science.” That's fine, but how do you get good and evil from science? And do religious people reject science? Dennis responds.
In this special episode, Dennis Prager addresses the current state of the nation and takes questions from live viewers. Don't miss it!
There is an Orwellian push to change the words we use, for example eliminating "gendered language." This may seem trivial but will end up having a big impact on our society in a bad way. Dennis Prager explains why.
Calls for unity sure sound nice—if only they were sincere. Total submission to the left is their desire: "Submit to us and we'll be unified; don't and you'll be punished."
Some people really do thrive on drama. A national crisis is necessary for the Left, as they crave chaos or catastrophe—and that's why we will always have hysterics. Dennis explains why it's important to know that they exist.
What's the key to understanding what is happening in America today? First, we must understand human nature. Only once you appreciate how deeply flawed humans have the potential to be, will you marvel at the immense moral achievement that is America.
You may have doubts that a parent's love for their adopted child could be every bit as strong as their love for a biological child. Dennis Prager has one of each and is here to tell you there is NO difference: Love is more powerful than blood.
What is the source of morality? Atheist and founder of The Objective Standard Institute Craig Biddle joins Dennis this week to discuss Objectivism, Ayn Rand, God, and where they disagree. Enjoy!
Cancel culture and "wokeness" dominate our culture. If you disagree with the mob, you can lose your career, opportunities, friends, and family—and the left never forgives. Dennis Prager sits down with some PragerFORCE students to answer questions on how to be bold in a world that forces groupthink.
Texas has ended its lockdowns and mask mandates! What was the result of the lockdowns, and what was the cost? Dennis reflects on his early statement that “the world-wide lockdowns are the greatest mistake in human history” and the incredible backlash that came with it.
Explain why God is necessary for a peaceful society and you can expect instant mockery in response. Dennis examines the nature of this response and the validity of the statement—for believers and atheists alike. Plus, a bit on universal basic income. Enjoy!
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen. Not everyone understands why that’s true, however, and Dennis responds to some of those critics. He also speaks with PragerU’s impressive new addition, Amala Ekpunobi, who became a much happier person when she left left-wing activism and victimhood in favor of logical conservative values. Enjoy!
If you listen to the mainstream news media, you're led to believe that anti-Asian racism is on the rise and white supremacy is behind it. Is this reporting accurate? This week, Dennis delves into the latest "spike" in attacks on Asian-Americans and the left's habitual untruthfulness.
Candlelight vigils are held for the most brutal murderers—attended by people opposed to the death penalty. But have they ever held a vigil for the murdered innocent? Dennis examines the moral arguments both in favor of and against the death penalty in this week's Fireside Chat.
You guys have been asking us for YEARS to make kid-specific content. We heard you! PREP is up and running, and it is already bringing thousands (very soon, tens of thousands) of kindred spirits together. Parents across the country are standing up and speaking out against Critical Race Theory and other toxic curricula in their schools.
An 8-year-old sent Dennis some Fireside Chat fan mail, which is terrific but also raises a question: What makes Dennis’s Chats appreciated even by children? Dennis has been public speaking since his 20s, and he gives some advice on how to be an effective communicator. Also: Why you must resist globalism, how to mend a broken heart, and the dangers of “equity.” Enjoy.
Dennis Prager discusses the Derek Chauvin trial and how it will affect the future of policing in America. What happened to the racism charge, and did the jury reach the correct verdict? Dennis also discusses PragerU's Earth Day initiative and how Big Tech is going after our content on climate change. Tune in!
Are we blessed to live in America or is it an oppressive place for minorities? Former Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, sits down with Dennis to discuss American values, Critical Race Theory, and censorship. Don't miss this powerful episode!
In this week's Fireside Chat, Dennis goes over two recent viral moments surrounding police controversy. First, an absolutely terrible video of an abusive woman who was pulled over for using her phone, then a student who was berated by his teacher for defending the police. Why does the left hate the police? Dennis Prager offers brilliant insight.
51% of young Americans are feeling depressed with a negative outlook on life, according to a recent survey. Why are they feeling so hopeless? Well if you are indoctrinated to hate your past, to live fearfully, and to expect the world to end, how could you not be?
Big media names fawned over John Oliver’s segment this week about the Middle East conflict. Here’s the problem: He’s wrong. Too many people don’t realize they have been manipulated by Hamas propaganda. Here’s the truth.
This week Dennis met with Rob McCoy, the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Godspeak. His church was one of a handful of churches that opened their doors without any COVID restrictions, despite the threat of fines from the local government. Tune into this very moving episode.
Americans have been taught to be offended by things that normally would never be seen as “offensive” or are in any way intended to be, and it is a pitiable way to go through life. Dennis wonders: Have we reached the point of no return?
In a recent Fireside Chat, Dennis reacted to John Oliver’s Middle East commentary and invited him to debate at a time and place of his choosing. Predictably, he has not accepted. Why? Because the left would rather mock and smear than have an honest debate.
Dennis reflects on this past year’s newfound obsession with “safety.” The price for "playing it safe" at everything in life is not fully living. Later, he addresses Juneteenth, our new national holiday, and the U.S. military going woke.
Folks, this might be the most important Independence Day to celebrate than ever before. It doesn’t (and never did) mean that you agree with every single thing that America has done. But what this country HAS gotten right is a miraculous achievement, and we are all unfathomably lucky beneficiaries. Have a happy and reflective Fourth!
How do you make sense of the Israel-Palestinian conflict? This week’s guest, Bassem Eid, is a pro-Israel Palestinian who writes for several Israeli publications—an extremely brave and risky thing to do. Watch this fascinating conversation between two men who value truth over everything.
Famine is a natural consequence of communism, so it’s no surprise this is happening in Cuba. And as usual, the media takes a dishonest spin on the protests. Even scarier is how likely it now seems to see similar protests for freedom here in America, eventually.
It is one of the most important questions one can ask: What is the best thing Americans can do to make the country better? Dennis has an answer that you won’t expect.
A touching moment: Dennis receives birthday messages from PragerFORCE and it triggers a reflection on his life and career. What’s his most important message? Why does he receive so much hatred and how does he deal with it? He has led a unique life, including a smuggling operation in the Soviet Union—and experiencing that true totalitarianism taught some key life lessons.
It’s time to come to terms with the fact that the left is openly hostile toward the message and dream of MLK, Jr.—that a man be judged by his character rather than his skin color. Every modern human in possession of a clear and rational mind embraces the truth: character is everything.
There’s a good reason to ask. You see, even though people are living LONGER than ever, the media wants you to believe that global warming presents an immediate and existential threat. People believe it. Some even claim to be glad to never have grandchildren. Here’s Dennis’s take.
PragerU’s marvelous CEO Marissa Streit joins Dennis for this special 200th Fireside Chat! They discuss our fans, our haters, and reminisce on the early days of PragerU (including the time we had to start over from scratch). Thank you for making this weekly visit with Dennis part of your life! We hope it contributes something special.
Pulling our remaining 2,500 troops out of Afghanistan? Dennis was against it. And he was against it for the reasons we are now witnessing today. Also in the news: chaos, mandates, and tyranny in Australia. Dennis, as always, provides needed perspective and lessons from all of these events. This episode of the Fireside Chat was recorded before the tragic events that occurred on August 26, 2021.
Dennis Prager is the most well-traveled person you know. It’s so important to him that he has traveled abroad every single year since the age of 20—2020 being the first year he couldn’t due to COVID travel restrictions. Now that restrictions have eased, Dennis revisited Hungary and several other Eastern European countries, and today reflects on Hungary’s nationalism and whether the criticism it receives is fair. Should you be proud of your nation? Is it dangerous or unifying?
Yeonmi Park, a North Korean defector, suffered unimaginable horror on her journey to freedom. Desperate from starvation and oppression, she managed to escape to China, but had been sold. Several years later, she escaped through the Gobi Desert into Mongolia and then finally to freedom in South Korea. Once at university in America, she recognized the same propaganda tactics of North Korea. She has an incredible story and we’re honored to bring it to you.
As a result of the shocking decline of our educational system and culture, parents around the country are increasingly opting to homeschool. What are the primary challenges? Is it worth it? Is it the future? Dennis has an insightful conversation with some current and formerly homeschooled students. Enjoy!
America is more secular than ever before, that’s a fact. America is ALSO less free than ever before. Is there a correlation? How would you react if there was? Dennis has his thoughts. See if you agree.
In this week’s episode, Dennis worries about Americans losing their freedom… and their common sense. He also poses a challenging question: what happens when a society decides that security is more important than liberty?
This question runs through Dennis’s mind regularly: What kind of person would risk their lives to hide someone they don’t know? Dennis once asked a Jewish couple who had been hidden in Poland during the Holocaust—if they had hoped to be rescued/hidden, whose door would they knock on: a lawyer, a doctor, an artist, or a priest? The answer reveals something incredibly important about the future of this country.
Research has shown the damaging effects that Instagram and other social media platforms have on young girls and their developing self-esteem. Are social media companies (or parents) to blame? Should Congress intervene? Dennis offers a take that you probably won’t hear anywhere else.
EVERYTHING in life is a choice: Courage, happiness, religion, marriage, everything. The sooner you realize this, the happier your life will be. Dennis also rants about what the media now labels “misinformation” and the fact that honest dissent is no longer permitted. Note: This episode was previously recorded.
Dennis Prager got COVID, the internet imploded, hateful people mocked & celebrated, and unfortunately for them and the lying media, he made a very quick recovery. Here’s what happened.
What kind of person is more likely to live in fear? Dennis has always spoken about the importance of living a full life and not dwelling in fear, but this episode is about understanding why a person would choose to live in fear. One answer: it probably starts in childhood. He offers one way to avoid raising fearful adults.
You may be shocked to learn how many people think stealing is perfectly fine. Would you guess that there’s a political/ideological correlation to this attitude? Do those who defend stealing and looting really think life would be better if society embraced thievery? Dennis analyzes this important issue.
This episode is a follow-up to Ep. 211 — Don’t Raise Fearful Children, in which Dennis answers why some people are gripped with fear and others are not. In this episode, Dennis addresses these questions: How do we become less fearful? What is the difference between a courageous person and a non-courageous person? And how is fear used for evil?
This year’s Thanksgiving episode is about the greatest of all traits: Gratitude. It is the foundation of goodness and happiness. Yet today, young people are being taught to be ungrateful people. Dennis explains why this is such a big deal (along with advice for handling politics during your holiday). Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Legacy media outlets called Kyle Rittenhouse both a murderer and a white supremacist. Viewers believed them. The same journalists told viewers that—not a career criminal— but an SUV drove through a Christmas parade in nearby Waukesha killing six and seriously injuring dozens more. If you haven’t yet accepted the sad truth that legacy media willfully distorts the news to fit a left-wing agenda, it’s about time you did.
Every person of faith struggles with this. When terrible things happen to good people (a tragic event, a loved one dies or gets cancer, etc.), the question is always there: Why would God allow this to happen? Well, this is important—it’s the wrong way to approach your faith. Dennis has spent years examining this topic and you’ll appreciate the rational perspective.
A biological male is dominating the NCAA women’s swim competitions. At any other time, we would all recognize this as cheating. Female swimmers are speaking out that it’s impossible to compete against transgender athletes. But legacy media is ignoring this women’s rights issue and refusing to acknowledge that fair play no longer exists in women’s sports.
Are public acknowledgements of Christmas gradually disappearing? (Spoiler: Yes. There actually is a “war” on Christmas.) Who or what is driving that? If you are among those who think Christmas is no longer inclusive enough, you should know that this Jew disagrees! Settle in to hear why Dennis loves Christmas so much and why you should too.
This week Dennis sits down with Tim Ballard, Founder and President of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), an organization that has freed countless victims of human trafficking and exploitation. You’ll want to hear his stories, the scope of the crisis, and reasons to be hopeful.
Dennis wishes you a Happier New Year and kicks it off with a list of recommended resolutions. He is a big fan of resolutions (even if you break them), and here’s why.
It’s a Q&A Fireside Chat this week! Topics include coming out as conservative and losing friends—are they lost for good? Words of wisdom for loved ones going through tough times, why gender roles are important, and why teaching about freedom is essential (something our older generations failed to do). Enjoy!
The left claims to speak on behalf of groups in America they label as oppressed or “marginalized” — even when those groups reject the left’s representations. Dennis offers three modern examples: The Washington Redskins, “Latinx,” and “racist” voting laws.
Dennis weighs in on the latest crisis between Russia and Ukraine by posing important questions: Who should serve as the world’s policeman? Does the world even need a policeman? Why and how should America intervene? Dennis provides several examples of why the world would be much worse for everyone if America never intervened.
Dennis weighs in on some of this week’s biggest headlines—from Whoopi Goldberg’s remarks about the Holocaust to mandates in Canada. Having written a book on anti-Semitism, Dennis extends Whoopi some grace regarding her comments on “The View”—for which she received a two-week suspension. He also covers the brave truckers fighting for freedom in Canada.
This week Dennis explores a problem that isn’t often addressed but shouldn’t be ignored—how religious people alienate others from embracing a life of faith. He describes the two main types of religious people who have a polarizing effect on non-believers, unfortunately turning them away from religion.
The glaring mask hypocrisy of celebrities, elites, and politicians begs the question—do they actually believe what they preach? Dennis explores why mask mandates continue to be pushed on average Americans, including children, while our ruling class feels exempt. It’s about power, not science.
Is Canada lost? Dennis addresses Canada’s rapid descent into authoritarianism—suspending and violating basic human rights and freezing bank accounts of those supporting dissenters. Worst of all, many Canadians support this crackdown. Dennis explores whether there is still hope for our neighbors to the north.
Freedom is clearly precious. There is real evil in this world intending to destroy it. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is proof. Dennis analyzes Putin’s invasion and connects the dots to the environmentalist movement’s involvement.
What’s really going on in Ukraine? The Russian invasion of Ukraine is getting more confusing and complex by the day. Or is it? Dennis sorts through the confusion and explores how the left and right are seemingly aligned on this terrible crisis.
Should sex education be taught in schools? Dennis explains why he’s never supported it by clarifying the left’s lies and true intentions behind teaching sexuality to children. We have a moral duty to protect our children’s innocence.
Inflation is a silent thief, punishing responsible people who saved for a rainy day. Dennis reveals why inflation is out of control, how we can fix it, and warns how Hitler and the Nazis exploited economic uncertainty to gain ever more power.
What holds you back from opening up? Dennis continues his thoughts from last week’s show on the value of being transparent. While there are risks with everything, Dennis notes the great rewards that can come from opening up to the people in your life.
Dennis reflects on why he reached peak happiness at his son’s recent wedding. He asks parents: Which would bring you more joy—your child getting admitted to a prestigious college…or getting married? If the latter, why? Are you communicating your priorities to your children? What do they believe are your priorities?
“The lockdowns are the greatest mistake in human history.” Dennis was mocked and dismissed for making this statement nearly two years ago. Now “the experts” are coming out of the shadows to report on the damage (mental health, suicide, eating disorders) the lockdowns have had—especially on younger generations. Dennis reads from an article, confirming what he predicted…the lockdown damage is devastating and lasting. He answers the big question we all have: How do we know who to trust anymore?
Elon Musk wants to make Twitter free again. This should be a good thing, but the left considers it dangerous. Dennis reads and reacts to some of the most outrageous comments about Elon becoming Twitter’s biggest investor, stating his vision to restore Freedom of Speech, and bidding for the company. The left misses the point entirely. You’re not supposed to like everything that is said on the Internet.
Do you think society is better off since banning prayer from classrooms 60 years ago? Dennis responds to objections to a PragerU social media post on optional, non-denominational prayer in schools. Hear why Dennis believes this was one of the worst rulings in America’s judicial history.

Seeking legal asylum? Seek it legally. Want to avoid being arrested? Don't break the law. The media narrative today is that America has become “xenophobic” and is turning its back on new immigrants.

In this video, CRTV host and best-selling author Michelle Malkin explains how ill-conceived immigration policies threaten to destroy the American Dream for everyone.
Joy Behar thinks people can be charged with "hate speech." Should offensive speech be punishable by law? Where should we, as a society, draw the line where permitted speech is on one side, and forbidden speech is on the other? Should we even have that line? And should free speech be limited by things like trigger warnings and penalties for microaggressions? Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, answers these questions and more.
The media has been lying for two years about who President Trump called "very fine people" during a press conference following the Charlottesville riots.

Singer Sam Smith has come out as gender non-binary, identifying as they/them. It's all very woke but it doesn't change the fact that he's still biologically male. Ashley McGuire, author of "Sex Scandal: The Drive to Abolish Male and Female," explains the confusion surrounding gender identity.
The Charlottesville lie that just won't die. The media told us all that when Trump said "very fine people" he was referring to neo-Nazis and white supremacists. The media lied to you. Here's the proof.

Are droughts, hurricanes, floods, and other natural disasters getting stronger and more frequent? Are carbon dioxide emissions, global temperatures, and sea levels putting us on a path for climate catastrophe? Leftists are telling children that climate change is going to kill them and everyone they know—and then place those terrified kids in front of cameras to beg for their lives. Bjorn Lomborg, Director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, breaks down the facts about the environment and shows why the reality of climate change may be very different from what you hear in the media.
Is college a good investment? It’s getting harder and harder to make that case – for students and their parents. Today too many students graduate weighed down by debt, fully entrenched in the leftist agenda, and with no practical wisdom to show for their effort. Before starting down the path to college, some sober, common-sense reflection is more necessary than ever. Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA provides some much-needed tutoring.
Who is tolerant in America today? Is it those on the left, or those on the right? Former Democratic Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson was caught on a hot mic swallowing a big red pill: Leftism makes people mean. Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report analyzes this and shares his experience.

Ellen Degeneres and President George W. Bush were spotted laughing together at a football game and the hateful response from leftists was neither surprising nor tolerant.
The Left is obsessed with race. It gives them purpose. And it is harming society—creating more problems, which also gives them... more purpose.
Piers Morgan: If climate change is a threat, why don't you practice what you preach by reducing your carbon footprint? Given our energy needs, is a Green New Deal practical? Can we have an abundance of energy and a clean planet? The "climate crisis" scenario is another left-wing falsehood based on faulty science, used to whip up hysteria that will lead to more government control of the economy.
Which sociopolitical theory aims to overthrow all existing social conditions (like family, religion, education, etc.)? Hear the answer and see how students at Summit Ministries experience education and the outdoors in this new video with Will Witt!
Skin color doesn't matter. "I have turned my back on the idea of victimization mentality." Kanye West gets it — and he's one of many Black Americans who have left the Left!
The U.S. military is the greatest enforcer of global peace. It must remain strong. If America disarmed, freedom worldwide would be in retreat.

Have you ever envied someone else's success? Do you sometimes wish you had another person's life? Comparing yourself to other people will only put you on the fast track to an unhappy life.
Do the rich pay their fair share of taxes? It's not a simple question. First of all, what do you mean by rich? And how much is fair? What are the rich, whoever they are, paying now? Is there any tax rate that would be unfair? The argument over whether rich people pay their "fair share" is typically an emotional one. UCLA Professor of Economics, Lee Ohanian, takes a rational look and has some fascinating and unexpected answers.
Where are they? These trends have real cultural consequences.

Free speech is in jeopardy. Big Tech behemoths like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are putting their thumbs on the free speech scale, “restricting” conservative content they don’t like.

Intersectionality is the newest fad in political activism. What is it? Who’s involved? And, what does it even mean? Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Ben Shapiro break it all down.
Children need structure and stability—like in knowing that boys are boys and girls are girls. It's one of the first ways a child organizes the weird world around them.

When are we finally going to pay attention? Public employees do vital work—but in California alone, more than 62,000 retired public employees are receiving pensions of over $100,000 per year. The public pension system is untenable. What will be done about it?
The left loves to say: Our bodies, our choice. Before you make up your mind on abortion, here's what you need to consider.
What do liberty and the pursuit of happiness mean? Does it mean that government's ultimate goal is to secure limitless personal liberty? No. Liberty without responsibility is chaos. Another word for that is licentiousness: here's why the Founders feared it.

"This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats. This is a bat virus, not a China virus. It doesn't speak Chinese. It doesn't target Chinese people. It targets human beings who happen to touch their eyes, nose or mouth." — MSNBC Trust in the media is at an all-time low. Why do fewer and fewer Americans trust the mainstream media? Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson, author of The Smear, explains.

Would the NYC-based media have advocated for a nationwide shutdown due to an outbreak in Idaho or Montana?
Nothing in life is perfectly safe, and pain is inevitable. If you are overly concerned with "safety" you will miss many of life's greatest joys!

Most people still have no idea the disaster wind turbines have been to vulnerable species. Wind turbines are killing: Golden eagles Bald eagles Burrowing owls Migratory bats Wind turbines also highly impact the insect population, which birds depend on. However, the wind industry blows smoke at the issue. Is this slaughter really environmentally friendly?
The LA Times reports that extreme poverty may be the pandemic’s heaviest toll. But it isn't the virus causing this suffering. Millions of people around the world will starve as a result of the lockdown. Is it justified?

The Founders were much more hostile to slavery than the left would have you believe. Candace Owens and Pastor Jack Hibbs discuss the facts.
"Let me just break it to the fools out there: if you don't make stuff, there is no stuff." Elon Musk is right! The economy isn't some magic horn of plenty. How can you expect things to magically exist for you when people aren't going to work to create those things? The experts agree: We need productivity and output. America must get back to work.
"An organized, nonviolent resistance is the most powerful weapon that oppressed people can use in breaking loose from the bondage of oppression." – Martin Luther King, Jr.
A police officer and a protestor teach two young men that there is a better way than rioting. Larry Elder explains: Black America needs fathers and good role models. Broken homes lead to broken communities.
Watch as Larry Elder eviscerates the myth of "systemic racism" and leaves Dave Rubin speechless.
Antifa gave themselves a noble-sounding name. Their violent actions against innocent Americans, however, reveal their fascist nature.
Hollywood’s priorities: Donate to minority business owners whose livelihoods were destroyed by rioting and looting? Nope ❌ Bail out spoiled Antifa terrorists & people arrested for rioting and looting? Check ✅ Ted Cruz is right: this is shameful.
What the media won't acknowledge: Black Lives Matter is a hateful ideology that fuels violent anti-police sentiment. Sheriff David Clarke with the facts (and Don Lemon with the stammering and cut to commercial).
Diverting funds away from police departments is not the solution you think it is. It will hurt the communities it purports to protect. Yet many leftists like John Oliver are attempting to justify the idea of "defunding the police." Will Witt isn't having it.
Today's college students graduate with massive debt and fully entrenched in the leftist agenda. It's become obvious that college may not be worth the investment.
There's nothing more racist than targeting an entire ethnic group with a collective crime regardless of the innocence or guilt of its individuals. Watch as Dr. Jordan B. Peterson debunks the idea of white privilege.

"I vow to dismantle the nuclear family with you..." Such a moving, beautiful ceremony!
The left's America-hating mindset is toxic and does nothing to improve black lives. Actions speak so much louder than words. And yet—even the WORDS they try to silence.
Watch what happened when this Portland grad student started singing the National Anthem for their graduation ceremony. Beautiful!
This 88-year-old veteran salutes every U.S. flag he passes. Here's why we should still love America.
This clip from Reagan's farewell address is so relevant to our time. Every American should hear these words.
Dear white leftists: Stop speaking for black people. Who really wants to abolish the police? Ami Horowitz speaks to New Yorkers to find out.
It's time to cancel Cancel Culture.

Did hospitals get overrun during COVID? Just ask the tens of thousands of hospital workers who have lost their jobs (and the hundreds of essential hospitals now facing permanent closure).
Did you know? A police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer. There is an average of 27 deadly-weapons attacks on officers per day in the U.S. These are good men and women doing a dangerous job that the rest of us can barely fathom.
American doctors are holding a “White Coat Summit” in Washington, D.C. to address “a massive disinformation campaign” by the media about coronavirus. Dr. Stella Immanuel has successfully treated hundreds of COVID-19 patients using Hydroxychloroquine. This broadcast went viral and Facebook deleted this video off our page. This censorship is out of control!
There is an orchestrated attack against Hydroxychloroquine and it's outrageous. Shame on all of them!
The frustration! Boiling point: Reached.
Watch the media ignore all of this. That's why these doctors are so frustrated. These. Are. Facts. Hear them. Share them.

Ricky Gervais has become one of the most vocal defenders of free speech—and he crushes it. Very well said.
"I'm angry because...people are dying because of the left...[and] doctors who have decided to politicize science." The overwhelmingly coordinated suppression of doctors speaking about Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment option for COVID-19 should terrify everyone who values free speech and the freedom to make their own health choices.
The message is clear: stick to the left's narrative, or you will be wiped off the Internet. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube are all censoring and removing our content!
Anderson Cooper was not expecting that response! The truth is 81% of Black Americans want just as much or greater police presence in their neighborhoods. (Gallup)
Rep. Jim Jordan calls out the inconsistency and hypocrisy of Dr. Fauci's recommendations on how to limit the transmission of coronavirus.
Will hosts a training video spoof for your friendly, neighborhood Antifa acolytes.
Ever wonder what the actual difference between "absentee" voting and "mail-in voting" is? And if mail-in voting makes voter fraud more likely?
Police officers can't afford to wait and see what a suspect who is resisting arrest is going to pull out of a car. Case in point: This is what happens when they do. You think he's just going for a lollipop? This is always the risk. And it's terrifying.
This is appalling. And not nearly enough people have been given this information.
Black Lives Matter wants to dismantle the nuclear family, but these black conservatives just dismantled their entire narrative.
When you defund the police and replace them with community organizers, criminals be like...
Australia allowed BLM protests but is arresting people who organize protests against their lockdown. This is a terrifying precedent for authoritarianism—Dennis Prager breaks it down.
This is the message America needs to hear.
The horror of this day must never be forgotten.
Who was George Washington? Why are activists across America vandalizing and tearing down statues of great historical figures like Washington? Here are some facts about this Founding Father that remind us why his statue should remain.

How could any decent person still support the BLM movement (particularly after seeing this video)?
A ban on gas-powered cars in California? It's the sixth-biggest economy in the world, yet emits only 1% of the world’s carbon emissions, and electric cars present their own environmental problems. But hey, this is California!
"No one—NO ONE—should get in between a voter and the ballot box." Preserving the integrity of our elections is NOT a partisan issue; it's an American issue.
What would happen if Israel laid down its arms? What would happen if its Arab neighbors did? ???? This question is key to understanding the Middle East problem.

In an impressive combination of gaslighting and condescension, the left keeps telling us to believe what they say, not what our own eyes tell us. Debunking Michelle Obama on "mostly peaceful" protests. Comedy!
Dennis Prager has some questions for those who say they vote for the "person, not the party." What if the candidate is a wonderful person with terrible policy ideas? Which is more important to vote for: policy or personality? What is the first and most important task of government? Let this video provide some clarity as you head to the polls.

"Some go to the illiberal left side so far that it's so condescending and patronizing to 50% of the world..." You have to hear what McConaughey had to say about Hollywood's cancel culture in his interview with Joe Rogan—then watch to the end for Douglas Murray and Dennis Prager's explanation of why the left so often engages in it!
Did you know this?
The overwhelming majority of police officers are good, decent people concerned about the law-abiding citizens in the communities they serve and are willing to put their lives on the line to protect them. They work under difficult circumstances most of us can't imagine. Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke makes it very clear: cops are not the enemy.
Actually, Will Witt makes a pretty convincing Harry Styles... And just like Harry, Will "challenges traditional masculinity" when he hears a bump in the night.
This is not okay.
Will Witt demonstrates why you should never question government lockdown restrictions.
People immigrating to the United States from socialist countries are VERY worried about its growing acceptance here.
Transphobic idiots won’t get it.

There are useless things money can buy. For free education about the timeless values that made America great, there's PragerU.
Tulsi Gabbard is right. When foreign leaders seem more concerned than our leaders about Big Tech attacks on freedom of speech here, we have a big problem. George Orwell's fictionalized world where Big Brother reigns supreme is no longer a figment of the imagination, but a prophetic vision of present-day threats. Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center, explains how and why Big Tech is making Orwell’s 1984 a 21st century reality.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees basic rights and freedoms to citizens, yet how many Yale students think repealing it is a great idea? Ami Horowitz heads to Yale University, where future thought leaders of America study, to investigate this crisis of civic education.
The pandemic has shown how much America has changed for the worse. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave, but is it now transforming into the land of the sheep and home of the cowards? Our American ancestors were incredibly courageous people but today, we live in fear—of illness, of our fellow neighbors, of intellectual diversity, of alternative ideas, of climate change, of dying from COVID. How did Americans become conditioned to be so fearful? Dennis provides some insight.
What happens when they raise the minimum wage... Sorry, Spencer. No job for you.
NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers sums it up perfectly: we can't rely on government to help small businesses. People helping people is the way to go. Dennis Prager puts it another way: "The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen." Every society in history has shown us that, as government grows, human freedom and happiness shrinks. Can we get back to the principles of liberty and individual responsibility?
Denzel Washington: "You can't legislate love." Has more black representation among city officials and law enforcement affected the black community in meaningful ways? Or have regular people done much more than political leaders to improve race relations?

Pitbull: "My family FLED communism. They had EVERYTHING taken away from them. So as a first-generation Cuban American I look at freedom and I APPRECIATE that..." When people think of humanity's greatest evils, why is communism rarely mentioned? Communism has caused more suffering than any other ideology, including Nazism, and everyone needs to know its horrific legacy.
If we don't believe that biological men have a significant advantage over biological women in sports, then why did women's sports ever need to be created in the first place? Let's stop fooling ourselves.
Taylor has a 4.0 GPA and is president of his class, but is he oppressed enough to get into college?
Even Bill Maher has recognized the result of unchecked progressive policies and out-of-control taxation in a once-thriving state. There are lessons to be learned here.
What a difference a few months makes! The media’s double standard is real.
No one gives up "emergency powers" willingly. Please, think about this and learn from history. In every society the following relationship has held true: as government grows, human freedom and happiness shrinks. Or as Dennis Prager puts it: "The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen." Naomi Wolf, liberal feminist author and former political advisor to Bill Clinton, implores Americans, (whether on the left or the right), to wake up to the totalitarian transformation taking place in front of our eyes—before it's too late to fight back.

Enjoy Woke-a-Cola's anti-racism training! Stay woke.
Better put your mask on before you get up from the table, unless you're TRYING to kill everyone in the restaurant!
Trying to get a haircut in lockdown be like...
Anyone who understands the Second Amendment knows it's not really about guns. It's about ensuring freedom and protecting yourself from tyranny. And you'd better believe that's important.
Candace Owens shares 10 things you didn't know about her! She'll get some hate for Number 8.
This is a major sign of the times. It's so sad, and she's so right. Are you paying attention?
Rogan O'Handley aka DC Draino has a message for closet conservatives: It's now or never. Be Brave Now.
"Hollywood is an ATM machine for DC." And demonizes normal Americans while they're at it. Rogan O'Handley, aka DC Draino on Instagram, used to work in Hollywood finance but couldn't reconcile the fact that they consistently ridiculed middle America, particularly after the 2016 election. It was at this point he decided to leave behind his lucrative career in Hollywood to become a conservative influencer. Now he exposes the toxic culture that exists in this industry.
"There's no amount of money that can stop good people from defending those types of values." Rogan O'Handley, aka DC Draino, left his lucrative career as a Hollywood lawyer to defend American values.
Not hiring white people in the name of woke-ness is exactly what you think it is: racism. Sorry, Hollywood.
Hollywood is complicit in peddling false narratives.
The moment you cave to the mob, you lose everyone's respect. Apologizing won't save you, anyway. It's time to stand up against the cancel culture mob.
This virtue-signaling mania needs to stop. Actress Samaire Armstrong is speaking out against society's collective frenzy over doing what is politically correct rather than focusing on doing what is right.
You either parrot the left's agenda, or you're the enemy.
Hollywood became less entertaining and meaningful when it abandoned talent and quality in favor of diversity quotas. Samaire Armstrong asks: what happened to all the nuances in film that once made the industry great?
There's a heartbreaking crisis at our border and hundreds of unaccompanied children are coming through every day. Many of them are being trafficked by illegals posing as their parents. Illegal immigration hurts children.
We need a more balanced conversation on climate change, not alarmism.
Some people really do just want to watch the world burn—and it has nothing to do with justice. These Black Lives Matter activists were ready to burn Minneapolis to the ground if Chauvin was acquitted. Ami Horowitz went to the city to hear what they had to say.
Kevin Sorbo: "I have to believe we can eventually reach across and shake hands and be sincere about it."
Hollywood has turned into a cult detached from reality, and Kevin Sorbo wants none of that. "There's a weird tipping point we're at right now between reality and just fake information. And unfortunately, people are falling into the trap of going for the stuff that's more fake than real."
Dennis Prager is pretty good with the Gen Z slang, no cap.
The woke mob will barrage their targets with cruel labels not because they're true, but because it's easy.
Bill Maher blasts Gen Z and millennial leftists: "Your ideas are stupid." More than a third of millennials polled approve of communism. How is this possible, in America? Radical and persuasive left-wing indoctrination via mainstream media and at every level of public & private education. And yet, people still deny how dangerous and pervasive this indoctrination has become. Wake up.
More than a third of millennials polled approve of communism. How is this possible, in America? Radical and persuasive left-wing indoctrination via mainstream media and at every level of public & private education. And yet, people still deny how dangerous and pervasive this indoctrination has become. Wake up.
Adam Carolla rips fake apologies to the woke cancel culture mob. It's a lose-lose situation. If you're going to get fired, at least hold your head up.
Leftists: I'm for free speech, I just have to hear it first...and then vet it...and then okay it...and THEN we can have free speech.
Adam Carolla: Cancel Culture has made everything boring. If comedians have to constantly think about whether or not they'll be canceled for saying something wrong, then they'll no longer be good comedians.
Being offended may make you FEEL morally superior, but it doesn't actually make you a better person. Amanda Ensing describes why this is a terrible way to go through life.
Amanda Ensing's message to those who feel helpless or overwhelmed by cancel culture is to remember that there is something you can do: Speak Up. Being unapologetically true to yourself and speaking your mind is sometimes all it takes to make a difference. Do your part. Be brave.
James Lindsay, an expert on Critical Race Theory, sits down with PragerU's Taylor Trandahl for an eye-opening interview. James offers practical advice on what you can—and should—actually do about the insidiousness of CRT.
If you seek to destroy the one and only Jewish state, you don’t have to hate every Jew to be an anti-Semite. It’s one thing to criticize Israel. It’s another thing entirely to be against the very existence of the Jewish state. Dennis Prager defines the difference and explains why anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism are one and the same.
This is why you shouldn't let a fear of negative responses prevent you from speaking your mind.
Former anchor Kari Lake quit her job because of the media's relentless COVID fear-mongering. "Covid was really a moment of truth for me...there's too much at stake to scare people like that."
Imagine the state of the nation if more children sounded like this absolute sweetheart and fewer were taught to be angry oppressed victims. This father gets it. CRT has no place here.
Journalists don't know what fair is anymore.
This Venezuelan migrant has a message for pro-socialism Americans: Go to a socialist country and see it for yourselves. (Sorry, free-market Nordic welfare states don't count).
It’s undeniable at this point. An expensive, overpriced college degree isn't necessary for success.
If you still don't believe how heavily universities suppress free thought and that there is systematic indoctrination ocurring on American campuses at an alarming level, hear it from Yeonmi Kim, a concerned student who fled North Korea.
PragerU is fighting back against the Left with new content for all ages that supports your values!
More and more courageous parents are standing up to their school boards and speaking out against the noxious anti-American ideology known as Critical Race Theory.
Mother of four, Roxanne Beckford Hoge, wants parents to know: your children are absolutely being damaged by racist Critical Race Theory indoctrination in schools, but you are not alone in this fight. Keep advocating for your children and speak out against it!
"We're going to fight back because this is the greatest country on God's green earth. You can be and do anything regardless of what your 23andMe says."
Roxanne Beckford Hoge, known for her roles in Bewitched, Something's Gotta Give, and Father of the Bride Part II, was a Hollywood liberal. But the more Hollywood stifled freedom of thought, she was pushed toward truth, tolerance, and conservatism.
Jill Simonian, Director of Outreach for PREP, speaks with Rachel Campos-Duffy about the importance of parents standing up NOW against Critical Race Theory curriculum in schools.
POWERFUL. God bless the United States! Thank you to PragerU personality Amala Ekpunobi for the beautifully poignant vocals and PragerFORCE's own Jonathan Koeppel for the piano track.
Many Americans don't understand how difficult life is in Cuba. Thousands of Cubans are bravely protesting against their oppressive, communist government, waving the American flag as a symbol of liberty. Their voices need to be heard.
The biggest draw to homelessness: the de facto legalization of street camping, drug consumption, and property crime. You can see with your own eyes just how badly progressive policies are exacerbating the homelessness crisis in big cities, particularly on the West Coast.
Was Black Lives Matter founded on a lie? What are the values of BLM's leadership? Ami Horowitz spoke with BLM leaders and hundreds of supporters across the nation to get their real thoughts on police and criminal justice reform, capitalism, and "systemic and institutional racism" in America. You don't want to miss this.
Denzel Washington on what playing a cop onscreen has taught him about law enforcement. Spend a moment in their shoes. That's all it takes. Cops aren't perfect and no one should expect them to be. But every single day, under the most difficult conditions, the police protect us from the bad guys. Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke makes it very clear: cops are not the problem.
Economist, historian, philosopher, and one of the greatest social theorists America has ever produced, Thomas Sowell, might be the most important scholar you’ve never heard of. Jason Riley tells his inspiring story.
When the borders become totally overwhelmed with record-breaking numbers of illegal crossings, what do you do? Well, here's the current "solution."
"What happens to women in other countries means NOTHING to the American feminist." And honestly, this should tell you something.
Dennis Prager was never in favor of withdrawing our remaining 2,500 troops from Afghanistan. And we're all seeing why. He asks: how does 20 years even factor into it? "'Too long' is an emotional argument, not a rational argument."
Joe Rogan brings the fire and the truth!! Check out this 7-minute clip of Rogan's recent comments followed by a breakdown with Ben Shapiro.
If you acknowledge evil, you have to fight it. That's why most people choose to deny it. It's more comfortable.
The answer to THIS question will determine the health of your marriage. It's really simple, actually.
"Just shoot him in the leg." No. You shoot evil dead. End of issue. Every single day, under the most difficult conditions, the police protect us from the bad guys. The overwhelming majority of police officers are good, decent people willing to put their own lives on the line to protect us, law-abiding people they likely don't even know. How many of us can say the same? Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke makes it very clear: cops are not the enemy.
The crisis at our southern border is spiraling out of control. Why does the border surge continue to be left unchecked? Tucker Carlson explains why illegal immigration is about power—for one political party in particular.
Wow! Bill Maher schools young people claiming they are oppressed in America on actual oppression. No country is more open, more generous, and has done more for the cause of freedom than America has.
Whatever its intentions, the welfare state has done more damage to the black community than it has helped. As long as we ignore the truth, there will never be true progress.
Larry Elder famously got him to rethink his assumptions.
THIS is why BLM doesn't help black communities. Larry Elder and Candace Owens discuss.
Voter ID is NOT voter suppression.
This is the consequence of teaching people to be victims.
It's incredible how quickly that escalated.
This is incredible! The majority of Americans are still proud to be American. With spirit and unity like this, America will always be a free nation.
Many of America's legal and illegal immigrants fled nations that were ruined by corrupt politicians and failed government policies. But once here, they support the same things. Why?
Tens of millions of regular Americans know this to be true (despite what the mainstream media tells you to believe): "The world has gone mad." Poor Brian Stelter is no match for the always-impressive Bari Weiss, a former writer and editor for the New York Times.
"We should be able to empower black children without hurting white children." EXACTLY.
PRO-TIP: If you're going to protest something, you should be able to explain what and why you're protesting.

A high school riddled with student-on-student violence found its panacea: "Dads on Duty." Clearly, father figures can make all the difference. Both boys and girls need fathers. Dennis Prager explains why.
The red states are a joy and the blue states are a pain in the a**. Yep. And blue state residents are fed up. We're supposed to be the United States of America. But in many ways, we're now divided into two very different nations: red states and blue states. Which ones are succeeding? Which ones are failing? And why? To answer these questions, economist Stephen Moore compares them side-by-side.
Dennis Prager got COVID, the internet imploded, hateful people mocked & celebrated, and unfortunately for them and the lying media, he made a very quick recovery.
James Carville blames election losses on "stupid wokeness."
What kind of adults do you want your kids to become? Dennis has a warning for parents who coddle their children.
Colin Kaepernick compares playing in the NFL to slavery; Joe Rogan torches his racist pandering. Sports used to be the great unifier, bringing people of all races and backgrounds together. Today, celebrity athletes/ left-wing activists like Kaepernick make millions of dollars by amplifying racial wounds and promoting a victim mentality. It's gross. Get politics out of sports.
"Today it's not the whip or the lash; it's libel and slander." —Clarence Thomas It’s the 21st century. Slavery is long gone. Blacks are no longer imprisoned on plantations… right? Actually, many are—just not in the way they used to be. Justice Clarence Thomas responds, in his own words, to his contentious confirmation battle, and Candace Owens issues a wake-up call to black Americans: it's time for a new liberation.
How do you become a less fearful person? What is the difference between a courageous person and a non-courageous person? It starts with you making a choice. Dennis breaks it down.
Yeah here’s a heads-up: “If your movement requires intimidation, stalking, and violence—it’s probably not the best movement.” J.K. Rowling holds her ground in spite of stalkers and death threats.
Pumpkin pie or pecan pie? Can you guess which Thanksgiving favorites Dennis will choose? Enjoy!
Every person of faith struggles with this at some point: Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? You’ll appreciate Dennis's rational perspective.
When even the talking heads on MSNBC call out this disastrous left-wing policy, you know it's bad. REALLY bad.
It's been a rough year, but Will Witt is determined to be as woke and inclusive as possible this holiday season. He won't let anyone on PragerU's staff ruin this year's *holiday* party with non-PC behavior or by violating Dr. Fauci's safety protocols. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at PragerU!
"Wokeness basically wants to make comedy illegal." Do you want a humorless society?
How is he wrong, though? How big should the government be? And what is its proper role in the daily lives of Americans? The Left and Right have opposite answers.
How faith guided Kirk Cameron.
Violent targeting of police officers is horrific and it’s on the rise. Criminals are increasingly emboldened by progressive DA's and the "defund the police" movement. Cops aren't perfect but every single day, under the most difficult conditions, they protect us from the bad guys. Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke makes the clear case that cops are not the enemy.
Voter suppression and asking for identification are not the same thing.
Do voter ID laws suppress the votes of the black community? Ami Horowitz is in Berkeley, California to find out.
Doreen leads an "anti-work" Reddit community of 1.6 mlllion people. Jesse Watters asks the right questions. Don't miss the punchline...
Calling out the insanity of the left doesn't require abandoning liberal values—it requires staying true to them.
This is how totalitarian regimes imprison an entire populace.
North Korean defector Yeonmi Park warns of communist ideology taking hold in America.
"When I came to this country and stepped on the land, I just felt a spirit of justice."
Or is this just more of the authoritarian left's favorite tactic to delegitimize their opponents?
The genius of America is that it was set up as a representative government, but increasingly, Americans are ruled over by leaders who are unelected, and very powerful. It's about time someone (else) addressed this. Watch what Vivek Ramaswamy gets right on Real Time with Bill Maher.
Why do so many people paint Western Civilization as imperialist and irredeemably flawed? Dennis gets to the root of this loathing.
What are masks really about? Dennis explains.
Why are so many Americans homeless and what can we do to help them? America has a homelessness crisis—and it’s getting worse by the day. Politicians promise to stop it. Cities like San Francisco spend millions trying to end it. Nothing seems to help. PragerU’s new short documentary reveals the root causes of homelessness and offers compassionate, effective solutions that we can all get behind.
Is the suffering of the Ukrainian people somehow diminished because there's corruption in Ukraine? Not to mention: There's corruption virtually everywhere. Yes, even here.
Assuming that the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, etc are always wrong is just as problematic as assuming that they're always right. Dennis explains.
Watch Zuby's full episode of Stories of Us here.
This is absolutely perfect. When parents boast about their children with other people, what do most say first? Is it how nice they are to strangers? Or how much volunteering they did last year? Usually not. Acts of kindness are what parents should talk about, and what they should praise their kids for. The best way to make a better world is to praise people for what counts—goodness.
"As a [parent], you have to push back for the world you want." Jill Simonian, Director of Outreach for PragerU Kids, heads to Hollywood to speak with parents and educators about why they're protesting mandates in schools.
