Okay, everybody, this is 28 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: the third hour on Friday on the Dennis Prager Show. 29 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Whatever is on your mind? I love it. You seem 30 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: to love it too, which is nice because if we 31 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: had differing views of an hour of my show, that 32 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't work. If I liked it and you didn't, that 33 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,279 Speaker 1: wouldn't be good. And if you liked it and I didn't, 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be good either. I'm Denis Prager. I don't 35 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: know if I said that, so I have to say it, 36 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: and here I am. So I'm going to tell you something. 37 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: This is dramatic. Ready, my trainer, I'm with her. I 38 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: think like two and a half years now, no, two years, 39 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: two years, I think whatever. But it's a lot because 40 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: the three times a week when I'm in town. So 41 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: she just got married and she's pregnant and she found 42 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: out the sex of the child. She is unbelievably traditional. 43 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: She doesn't even know she's traditional. She just thinks she 44 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: lives on Earth says it's a boy. By the way, 45 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: it is very funny. I hope she's not listening. She's 46 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: probably training somebody. She said, you know, it was a 47 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: mother's intuition. I knew it was a boy. Stuff cracks 48 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: me up. There is no such thing as mother's intuition 49 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: with regard to the sex of whom you're carrying. Every 50 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: single theory is not true, every single one. Well, if 51 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: the belly is like this, or if it cooks like this, 52 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: there is no way outside of an ultra sound to know. Okay, 53 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: just bought you to know. Anyway, she showed me the 54 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: first picture she's ever had of her son. And she's 55 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: five months pregnant, so she's in her twentieth week. And 56 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: she showed me the picture and do you know what 57 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: I saw? It's actually had her sent it to me, 58 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: texted to me. It is dramatic. The child's hand is 59 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: up like this, all five fingers are as clear as 60 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: a black and white photo. And I didn't say to 61 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: her because I don't talk the issues that I talk. 62 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know how she votes 63 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: after all these years, because it's not something I talk 64 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: to her about. But the first thing I thought was, 65 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: how could anybody morally defend abortion? Looking at that picture? Hello, folks, 66 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: it shows you how people fool themselves. She doesn't call 67 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: what she's carrying a fetus. Nobody says to her. The 68 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: most pro choice friends of hers don't say, Hey, how's 69 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: the fetus doing? They go, how's the baby doing? So? 70 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: Isn't that a bizarre thing. If the mother wants it, 71 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: it's a baby. If she doesn't want it, it's a fetus. 72 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: That's the proof that people use language to deflect from 73 00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: the moral question. Alrighty, everybody. Dustin in Carson, California, Hello Dustin. 74 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 4: Hey Dennis, a long time saying thank you. I'm a 75 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 4: collet professor and I'm writing a book about why we 76 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 4: shouldn't get rid of Shakespeare. And I'll want to know 77 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 4: what your favorite Shakespeare play is and. 78 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Why I I saw your call. So I've been thinking 79 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: about it and thinking about it. First of all, I 80 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: hope I hope you get Do you have a publisher? 81 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 5: Uh? 82 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: Not yet? 83 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 4: Just working on that. 84 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: I really, I really hope you get one. It's a 85 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: very important book to write because he was a giant 86 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: and his understanding of the human condition is astonishing. It 87 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: is just astonishing, but. 88 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 4: Odd, the idea of getting rid Sorry sorry. 89 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: No, no, I just I'll just answer you all things 90 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: being considered. In other words, if if somebody were to say, hey, 91 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: you can have tickets to any of his plays, which 92 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: would it be. I don't think you would expect this, 93 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: but it would be Othello? Nice? 94 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, the uh. 95 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, well it has the only and you know Shakespeare 96 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: far better than I. I have no doubt, but I 97 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: believe Otello. I guess Othello, we say in English because 98 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: Otello is the opera. But Othello has the only purely 99 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: negative character in Shakespeare. Iago. Is that correct? Yeah? 100 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we still don't know why he did. 101 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: What he is. That's right, that's right, that's exactly exactly. 102 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: And so there are so many iagos walking around anyway. 103 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: That's my answer to you. Uh uh. The fact that 104 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: you well, thank you very much. The fact that you 105 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: have to write such a book, well, look that's what 106 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm doing. I'm trying to do for the Bible. The 107 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: fact that the Bible and Shakespeare need defend shows you 108 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: the sick and stupid age in which we live. Where 109 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: do people get wisdom from the new York Times editorial page. 110 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: Their heart, that's where they really go. Their heart. They 111 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: don't need wisdom, they have a heart. That's what's happened, 112 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: all right. Let's oh boy, so many good calls. Don't 113 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: give up, don't give up. Let me go fast, Mike 114 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: Little elm Texas. 115 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 6: Hi, Dennis Prager, Mister Prager, I was reading your father's 116 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 6: autobiography and it brought you hatred out to me in 117 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 6: a way that I'd never seen before. I'd never met 118 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 6: at you before. And watching the Nazism rise in Europe, 119 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 6: and watching Islamism rise in Europe, and how are military 120 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 6: is being cut? Do you worry that there might be 121 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 6: a second Holocaust in Europe one day? 122 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 5: Uh? 123 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: No, I don't worry about a Holocaust in Europe because 124 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: they're so few Jews in Europe to actually have a Holocaust. 125 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: With regard to I worry about a holocaust in Israel 126 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: because there are people who want to create it and 127 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: announce it Hesbalah hamas Iran. Let me think about it. 128 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: The blase attitude of the world and it's intelligency, in 129 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: particular to the overt expressions of Nazi like genocide vis 130 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: a vis the Jews of Israel. Is h is mind boggling. 131 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: I never would have predicted it as a child. I 132 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: was sure that they would be the last Holocaust. I 133 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: was born after it, but it was obviously a big 134 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: issue emotionally. Even though I lost no relatives, my parents 135 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: and their parents have been here, so that I do 136 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: worry about Yes, And there's every reason to worry about 137 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: it because there are people who want to do it 138 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: to Israel. All right, and uh, let's go to Maddie, Philadelphia, 139 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: Mattie Dennis Prager. 140 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 7: Hi, Dennis, thank you for taking my call. 141 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: Thank you. 142 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 4: I just had a quick question. 143 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 7: I got into a little disagreement recently with one of 144 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 7: my teachers. 145 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 8: Taking a summer class, and I was wondering I would 146 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 8: like to get your opinion. 147 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 4: Is do you think morality, you know, good. 148 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 8: And evil, is apparent and natural to human psychology. 149 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: I wish I could answer you, but I don't fully 150 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: understand the question. 151 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 8: Well, are you familiar with the term natural law? 152 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: Yep? 153 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 9: Do you believe that such a thing is self evidence? 154 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: Well, by natural law, most people meant that it was 155 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: in there. There was a divine element to natural law, 156 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: that it was, that it was part of nature. So, 157 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: but it was, but it's not part of Malachi Ueles 158 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: and atoms. So there was a divine element, and so 159 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: the founders believed in a natural law and in the 160 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: creator of natural law. 161 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 4: Right, So, but is it like. 162 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: I believe that the human being. I think that the 163 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: human being is born with a conscience, but it is 164 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:28,239 Speaker 1: unbelievably easy to dull the conscience, and that desires, appetites, 165 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: physical yearnings, deformed psychology make it very easy to do evil. 166 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: That's why I don't believe people are basically good. And 167 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: I think that is one of the stupidest ideas a 168 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: human being can hold. And I very rarely call an 169 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: idea stupid after the twentieth century, to believe people are 170 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: basically good means you're either ignorant of what happened in 171 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: the twentieth century or you believe in the tooth fairy. 172 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 8: That makes perfect sense. 173 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: Yes, look up my own article.

So now 374 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 5: I'm good. 375 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: Now you do sound better? Yeah, thank you, son, right 376 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: on top of the weather, right now. 377 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 11: Yeah. 378 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 5: It just seems like you're upset with contemporary women because 379 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 5: like they seek a life beyond being like. 380 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: Oh, no, I'm not upset with them at all. I 381 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: think they are going to be upset. I'm not. Why 382 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: would I be upset with a woman. I'm upset with 383 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: a woman who decides not to marry, just as I'm 384 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: upset with a man who decides not to marry. 385 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 5: Okay, well, I mean, but. 386 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: I think that women have been sold a bill of 387 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: goods that they will derive as much joy and happiness 388 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: in life from career success as men do. I think 389 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: that that happens, but it is it is the exception 390 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: rather than the rule with regard to women's nature. 391 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 5: Well, how do you know about all women? 392 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: But I don't. There's no there's no such thing as 393 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: all women are all men. But can no, I never 394 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: use the word at all. I generalize and all generalizations here, 395 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: I am using the word all. All generalizations are exactly that, 396 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: a generalization, not a statement of all. There's almost nothing 397 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: I can say. 398 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 5: All about Yeah, okay, well, I mean. 399 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: I think that most women will would be happier with 400 00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: a fulfilled relationship with a man and chill and children 401 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: who give her more or less happiness than from a 402 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: great career when she looks at her life at fifty, 403 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: let alone at seventy five. 404 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 5: Last time, you said like God or nature is misogynist, 405 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 5: and I just I really think that's not true. 406 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: Well, I needed to know, I would need to know 407 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: what No, I needed to know what the context was 408 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: if you said that that's a misogyny. I think you 409 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: said that's a misogynist idea. And then I said God 410 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: or nature is misogynist. Then yes, if you think that, 411 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: I don't. Why is it misogynist to say that a 412 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: woman would derive her greater pleasure from relationships and humans 413 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: than from career. Why is that misogynist? 414 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 5: Because it's it's saying that women are you know, would 415 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 5: be happier being confined to a home. 416 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: Well, why why is it? Why was it? Why do 417 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: you use the word confined? Why would was a woman 418 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: happy or confined to a. 419 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 5: Job because because it simulates society as a whole. I mean, 420 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 5: I'm not feminism is the best thing you. 421 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: Could do for society is raise good children. There is 422 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: no career you could have other than other than finding 423 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: a cure for cancer, that would even come close to 424 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: raising good children. If you really want to serve society, 425 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: it's the single best thing you can do. 426 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I just I mean, but why don't you 427 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 5: say the same thing about men? 428 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: I do, I want every man to marry, but I 429 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: but I know male nature and male nature. For males 430 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: to be happy, no matter how much joy they have 431 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: in their in their marriage and with their children, they 432 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: their essence needs to be fulfilled through conquering something outside 433 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: of the house. 434 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 5: Okay. And also one more thing. You talked about how 435 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 5: men or women shouldn't like go into careers because men 436 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 5: don't like older women and by postponing it, they're getting 437 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 5: older and men don't want to be with an older woman. 438 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 5: And I think, I mean, I think it depends on 439 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: the circumstance. 440 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: It's like everything depends on circumstances. But again, the general 441 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: rule is that you have a greater choice in men 442 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: at twenty five than at fifty five. Ask every single 443 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: woman who's fifty five whether or not that's true. 444 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 5: Do you think that's more important than a career? 445 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 9: Though? 446 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: Yes, that was my whole point. I do. Yes, that's right. 447 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: And you're being told the opposite, and this radio show 448 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: is saying the opposite of what you're being told. I 449 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: can't thank you enough, Emily for raising this issue back 450 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: in a moment. 451 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 452 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom. 453 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: Scott in Lacenata, California.

And the answer one answer is 506 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: because it just wasn't done in the past for whatever reason. 507 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: But maybe that's not the only reason. And so I 508 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: I very much hesitate to tell you, not that you're 509 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure you're even asking to tell you what 510 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: to do, but I would be I would honor her 511 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: skepticism as much as you may love one another, and 512 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: that love is obviously, if it exists, is totally genuine. 513 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 8: Uh. 514 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: I think she's maturely acknowledging that what may work in 515 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: one direction is fraught with danger with the other sex 516 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: in the same in the same difference of age, and 517 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: that may be one of the reasons we just don't 518 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: see any I don't. I don't know of any personally, 519 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know of any even publicly. And the one, 520 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: the famous one with de me Moore, is obviously not 521 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: the best of examples. And indeed, and she's a terrific 522 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: looking she's magnificent looking to this day. But so so 523 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: I don't it could work, but it would be a 524 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: real outliers. That's my suspicion. Gabby of Pittsburgh. Dennis Prager, Hi, Hi, 525 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: mister Prager. 526 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 7: It's a pleasure to be on. My name is pronounced Gabby. 527 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 7: So a quick backstory before my question. So over the summer, 528 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 7: my friend reached out to me and he said, Gobby, 529 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,959 Speaker 7: I have a big problem. My brother wants to convert 530 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 7: to Christianity. So I know that you see a lot 531 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 7: of virtues in both Judaism and Christianity. Do you think 532 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 7: in the case that someone wants to convert from Judaism 533 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 7: to Christianity, should you intervene? 534 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: I have told people whether Christian or Jewish or Mormon, 535 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: and I'm you know, Catholic, whatever it is. I always say, 536 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: before you leave your religion, make sure you know what 537 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: you're leaving. The vast majority of people, not all, who 538 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: leave their religion, don't know their religion. They know a caricature, 539 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: or they know a few little things from Sunday School 540 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: or in the Jews case, Hebrew School. So if you 541 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: truly know what you're leaving, then I have to respect. 542 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: In a free country, I have to respect the choice. 543 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: The only difference, there's an emotional difference among Jews than 544 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: there is among Christians, though that has nothing to do 545 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: with theology, and that is sociology, and that is that 546 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: the Jews correctly feel endangered. They're like an endangered species, 547 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: like the white rhinoceros. And so every Jew who ceases 548 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: to be a Jew is whether it's through assimilation to nothing, 549 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: which is far greater than any Jewish conversion to Christianity. 550 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: Jews get unbelievably upset when a Jew becomes a Christian, 551 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: but they don't get unbelievably upset when a Jew becomes 552 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: a nothing, which results ironically the Jew becomes a Christian, 553 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: is probably more pro Israel than the Jew who becomes 554 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the world is a complex place. But yes, 555 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: I think you have a right to intervene anymore that 556 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: a Christian would have a right to intervene if somebody 557 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: wanted to leave Christianity in the family or friends that Look, 558 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe you missed this, this beauty in Christianity, 559 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: or you maybe you missed this profundity in Judaism. But 560 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: beyond that, the only way you could prevent that to 561 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: live a very orthodox life in an Orthodox neighborhood. 562 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 2: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 563 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 2: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom. 564 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: All right, you're sending the agenda and there's so many good, 565 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: good questions and you know anything in the world as 566 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: you would now see, from CDs UH to religion. All right, 567 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: let's go to Denver and Frank. Frank Dennis Prager, thanks 568 00:33:58,840 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: for calling. 569 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 3: Hey, Dennis's truly an honor to speak with you. 570 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 11: Thank you, love your show. 571 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 3: Uh, you put out some good information, but I don't 572 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 3: think anyone puts it out quite as eloquently as you. 573 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: Thank you. 574 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 3: My question for you, and this has to do a 575 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 3: little bit with yesterday's conversation on the inherent differences between 576 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 3: boys and girls. I'm a conservative in my wife's liberal, 577 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 3: and I've got an eight year old son who who, 578 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 3: in the absence of a plastic toy gun, will pick 579 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 3: up a stick pretend it's a gun, and of course, 580 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 3: exactly that's right. Well, of course I get a mountain 581 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 3: of grief from my wife over this, and and it 582 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 3: just discuss her that he does this, And I want 583 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 3: your take on that, if I believe it's a natural thing. 584 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: It discussed her that he goes around. 585 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 3: Shooting pretending he's shooting. 586 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I see. Well, I need to talk to 587 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: your wife because it's it's sometimes easier for a stranger 588 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: than for a husband, or or vice versa, for a 589 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: wife to talk to the husband. But what exactly double her? 590 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I understand, you know, I want to speak 591 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: gently because it's your wife, and I don't want I 592 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: don't want, I don't want to cause any any tension. 593 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: But uh, there is nothing wrong in a boy going 594 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: around shooting. That's boys like to do that. It is 595 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: totally natural, just as there are natural things for girls 596 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,439 Speaker 1: to do. And tell her that I if boys didn't 597 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: shoot a lot in American history, we would have no 598 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: America and we'd have no freedom. My question is, what 599 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: is the boy shooting at. I mean, if he's shooting, 600 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: if he's making believe he's shooting at the president or 601 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: or shooting at mommy, then I would have concern. But 602 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: if he's shooting at bad guys, are you there, Yeah, 603 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: If he's shooting at bad guys, then I then that's 604 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 1: that's that's wonderful. That's why, by the way, I I 605 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: fell into this trap on my with my my firstborn son. 606 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: I I fell into this and I didn't get him 607 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: toy guns. He made rye bread into guns, and uh 608 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: and every mop and every broom in the house became 609 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: a gun. This is ridiculous. I'd rather leave those things 610 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: alone and then got them toy guns. And he's as 611 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: gentle as as you can imagine. But he also believes 612 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: that sometimes you have to fight in order to preserve 613 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: good values exactly. 614 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 3: And I think you helped me out because I got 615 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 3: her listening to you about two weeks ago, and I 616 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 3: hope she's listening today. 617 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: I hope so too. Let me know. Let me thank 618 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: you very much. Hello to Frank's wife out there. Glad 619 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: you're listening. Hello, Steve, Dennis Praeger, Hi, Dennis. 620 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 11: Thank you. 621 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 6: Hey. 622 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 9: A question that's always been on my mind for a 623 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 9: while is is what is your perspective on stereotyping, You know, 624 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 9: if it's done in a kind hearted way, such as 625 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 9: you know, one of my favorite movies is Moonstrock, which 626 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 9: is an Italian family, and they poke fun at it, 627 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 9: or at least they present it in a way that 628 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 9: it's quite humorous. 629 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: Or what about my big fat Greek wedding hilarious? Exactly? 630 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: I mean, if it did not make any sense that 631 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 1: a Greek family would act this way, there's no humor, 632 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: so obviously there's a stereotypical Greek family there. 633 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, well what about but but what about those those 634 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 9: hardliners out there that would would say, no, we shouldn't 635 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 9: go there because everyone's created equal, and right. 636 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: There, it's a war against understanding life. Of course, ethnic 637 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: groups have cultural or cultural groups better than ethnic Sometimes 638 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: culture and ethnicity are similar, sometimes they're not. But in 639 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: any event, of course, seo stereotypes are fine provided that 640 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: it is understood. In fact, stereotypes are helpful providing, providing 641 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: that we do not assume that every member of the 642 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: group has those characteristics, then that's racism. 643 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 11: Sure. 644 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: But but if I'm to say Americans are are loud tourists, 645 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: is that is that stupid? Is that stereotypically wrong? If 646 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: you had a group of of of Peruvian tourists, a 647 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,919 Speaker 1: group of Japanese tourists, a group of American I mean, 648 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: who do you think would would tend to talk the 649 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: loudest all of them in a foreign country. I mean, 650 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: it may be wrong, but but but it's it's it's 651 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: legitimate to generalize. Does that mean every American tourist is 652 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: loud or every Peruvian speaks softly? Of course not sure, 653 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: But of course there are there are cultural traits, some 654 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: of which are not positive, some of which are. But 655 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: it doesn't make you a racist. This the the this state. 656 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Why college teaches you not to think. 657 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: They say, oh, you can't stereotype. Of course you can stereotype. 658 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, they do it all the time. 659 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: They stereotype men. Men are men are men? Do men 660 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: think America is patriarchal, America is imperialist? They they do 661 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: it all the time. But you can't do it in 662 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 1: order to understand life better. So, but the question is 663 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 1: what is animating your stereotype. Is it a desire to 664 00:38:53,480 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: hurt or a desire to understand? That's the other question. Okay, 665 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: I appreciate your question. It's why I took it. It's 666 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: a very important one. 667 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 2: Tomorrow un Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Praeger? 668 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 1: Is there meaning to life if there is no God? 669 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: And the answer is no. 670 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 13: Personally, I'm an atheist and I see meaning to everything 671 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 13: that exists. 672 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: I think that's great. I think that means well, now 673 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: that you mentioned that, what meaning do you see in 674 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: a tree? 675 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 13: Uh, there's meaning beyond just looking at the tree and 676 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 13: seeing the tree as a physical entity. There's an essence 677 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,919 Speaker 13: beyond our human understanding. 678 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: So the thought I had, well, it doesn't make any 679 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: sense to me. There's an essence, there's an essence to 680 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: a tree that is beyond there a human understanding. But 681 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: there is no God. So you find God irrational, but 682 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: you find your comment to be rational. 683 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 13: Well, my point is this is obviously we're trapped within 684 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 13: our senses and we cannot understand the tree the way 685 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 13: that God would. Okay, yeah, but. 686 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: You don't believe in God. So why are you saying that? 687 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 2: Join us tomorrow to hear more on Timeless Wisdom with 688 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 2: Dennis Prigger.
