Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis Prager is back—and answering your questions. In this special new edition of Ask Me Anything, Dennis personally responds to listener questions about faith, politics, relationships, happiness, morality, and his own life. After being away from the air since his injury in November 2024, Dennis returns to the microphone to reconnect with listeners and share his thoughts on the questions they’ve been waiting to ask.

If you'd like to ask a question, call and leave us a voicemail: 877-243-7776

Dennis discusses what has given him the strength to keep going after his injury, whether God has a fixed plan for our lives, the relationship between America and Israel, classical music, the roles of men and women, the nature of evil, and what he would change about his own life. He also reflects on the impact his work has had on others and why he considers his life deeply blessed.

This marks the beginning of a new chapter of Ask Me Anything, with Dennis inviting listeners to call in with their own questions about faith, morality, politics, history, relationships, happiness, or his life.

Fireside Chat Ep. 197 — Life, Legacy, and a Dangerous Mission in the Soviet Union originally aired on July 29th, 2021

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.

In this edition of Weekend Torah Teaching, Dennis Prager continues his study of Exodus 5, examining what happens when Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh—and why their first attempt does not go as planned. Dennis explores the significance of the elders’ absence, Moses’ failure to follow God’s instructions precisely, and Pharaoh’s decision to make the Israelites’ already difficult work even harder.

The discussion then turns to one of the Torah’s most striking moments: Moses’ anger toward God. After seeing the suffering of the Israelites worsen, Moses directly confronts God and asks why He has brought evil upon His people. Dennis examines what this reveals about faith, suffering, and the difference between believing that God exists and trusting that God will ultimately do what is right.

Dennis also explores the difficult tension between loving God and loving humanity, arguing that genuine concern for human suffering can itself lead to profound questions about God. Through Moses’ struggle, the Torah presents a deeply human picture of faith—one that allows room for doubt, anger, questions, and the struggle to trust God when circumstances seem to be getting worse.

What if the secret to happiness is expecting life to go wrong? Dennis Prager argues that happiness doesn’t come from avoiding life’s problems—it comes from understanding that problems are inevitable. Life is an obstacle course, filled with potholes, red lights, disappointments, and unexpected setbacks. The key is learning how to navigate them without letting every setback destroy your happiness.

Dennis explains why expecting life to be difficult can actually make you happier, why we shouldn’t take the good days for granted, and why the absence of problems is itself something to appreciate. He also discusses how relationships, family, faith, health, and the people we surround ourselves with can provide lasting sources of happiness—even when life delivers its inevitable blows.

We revisit four memorable conversations between Dennis Prager and Julie Hartman, spanning more than two years and tracing the beginnings of a remarkable friendship and partnership. From Julie’s time as a student at Harvard to her emergence as the “Harvard Heretic,” these conversations capture her intellectual journey, her thoughts on the challenges facing her generation, and the early days of the relationship that would become “Dennis & Julie.”

• May 26, 2021 — Dennis talks with Julie Hartman, then a Harvard student, about her intellectual transformation after discovering Dennis’ books and PragerU. Julie explains why she was hesitant to appear on Dennis’s show, the reaction she received from her Harvard peers, and what it meant to publicly embrace her beliefs.

• June 6, 2021 — Dennis and Julie discuss why so many young Americans are struggling with depression and a sense of purposelessness. Julie reflects on the pressure to achieve, the obsession with résumés and elite colleges, the loss of religion and wisdom, and the realization that when too much goes into a résumé, there may not be much left in the person.

• November 29, 2022 — Dennis welcomes Julie for a discussion of one of his favorite “Ultimate Issues”: Are people basically good? They explore human nature, free will, morality, religious values, and why the belief that people are inherently good can overlook the darker realities of human behavior.

• July 11, 2023 — Dennis and Julie continue their regular conversations as co-hosts of “Dennis & Julie.” Dennis reflects on having a co-host for the first time in his long radio career and the unique friendship and chemistry that developed between them, while they tackle the deeper questions surrounding human nature and morality.

What makes you feel truly loved by your spouse? Dennis Prager explores a deceptively simple question: What is the one or two things your husband or wife could do that would most assure you of their love?

Dennis explains why people often express love in the ways that come naturally to them rather than in the ways their spouse actually understands as love. He takes calls from husbands and wives who reveal what makes them feel valued—from affection and words of affirmation to quality time, acts of service, and, for some men, sex.

Dennis also challenges couples to stop expecting their spouses to read their minds and instead be honest about what they need. The key, he argues, is not having a long list of demands, but understanding the few things that communicate love most clearly to the person you married.

What happened to wisdom? Dennis Prager examines how the Baby Boomer generation challenged the traditions, institutions, and inherited wisdom of previous generations—and how that rejection helped shape the world we live in today.

Dennis explores the ideas that emerged from the cultural revolution, from “Don’t trust anyone over 30” to the rejection of religion, traditional morality, and long-established ideas about human nature. What happens when each generation assumes it knows better than the generations that came before it?

Dennis argues that the problem isn’t a lack of intelligence, but a loss of wisdom—and asks whether we have entered an “age of stupidity” by forgetting what previous generations learned the hard way.

Dennis Prager answers questions on everything from God, suffering, and faith to feminism, relationships, and the changing culture. He discusses what it means to remain connected to God when life is painful, whether adopted children should seek out their birth parents, and how family, love, and values shape our lives.

And because this is an AMA, no question is too serious—or too silly. Dennis talks about political correctness, blindness and perception, Christianity and Catholicism, and even reveals his favorite vegetables and funniest movies. It’s a wide-ranging hour filled with serious questions, unexpected debates, and plenty of Dennis Prager’s trademark candor and humor.

Did God take away Pharaoh’s free will? Dennis Prager explores one of the most challenging passages in Exodus, where God says He will harden Pharaoh’s heart. Does this mean Pharaoh was no longer free to choose, or is there another way to understand the text?

Dennis also examines the mysterious encounter between God and Moses, the significance of circumcision in Jewish identity, and why God refers to Israel as His “firstborn.” Through these difficult passages, he considers the relationship between divine purpose, human freedom, and the meaning of faith.
