Dennis Prager on the Self-Righteously Suicidal West and False Morality
For this week’s Big Ideas with Ben Weingarten podcast, I had nationally syndicated radio host, columnist, author of numerous books, teacher, film producer and co-founder of PragerU, Dennis Prager, on the podcast to discuss among other things:
- How Dennis Prager ended up a conservative as an Ivy League-educated Jewish intellectual from Brooklyn, New York — contrary to so many of his peers
- How perceptions of human nature divide Left and Right
- Whether government has filled the void of religion for the increasingly secular and progressive American coasts
- How the good intentions that underlie Leftist policy prescriptions lead to horrendous outcomes — and emotion versus reason on the Left and Right
- The false morality underlying European immigration policy with respect to the Muslim world, and Prager’s criticism of Jewish support of mass immigration consisting disproportionately of Jew-haters
- The self-righteous suicidalism of the West
- The Leftist bias of social media platforms and PragerU’s legal battle with YouTube/Google

Always a pleasure to listen to the wisdom of Dennis Prager, thanks for the interview.
He doesn’t hold his punches. Of course they won’t argue with him, they wouldn’t have a chance, so they just hate him and try to shut him down instead, confirming everything he says.
That stuff about the minimum wage was great. I used to have a hard time understanding why people like the minimum when it so obviously hurts poor people and minorities in particular. But he’s right, ideas matter more than people.
