Fantastic stuff, really interesting ............... in a word "Polaroid".
Great interview.
People are influenced by their environment but evolve and make changes due to changes in life experiences.
I find it interesting that right after the desert discussion, Dennis quickly changed the subject to women and sex. LOL! And then toward the end when the talk sways to the topic of meaning and sex, you kid him a little by saying you're giving him a hard time. I'm not sure whether or not that pun was intended... 😂
John wayne gacy Such compelling lucid arguments! Have you considered a career in debate?

KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's warning to America - UA-cam
i am 19. I grew up in a Nigerian Christian family. Found Jordan Peterson at 17 and Thomas Sowell (an other like minded economist) at 19. I had been introduced to other intellectuals before that were left leaning or liberal but Prager is correct. When you hear something that just makes sense, it stays with you and changes your values
TRUTH HAS A CERTAIN RING...
I was the same way, minus the Nigerian part but I was liberal when I was young. My Mom drilled that garbage in my head from pretty much day 1. But at about 22 I had a good friend DESTROY all my backward Liberal beliefs in a conversation that opened my eyes and really changed my life. Sometimes I wish I never knew the truth and was still blind because the left is so Frustrating DUMB and DESTRUCTIVE. But then I'd be part of the ignorant problem in America that alows the Left to do what they do.
Well then complement your journey with mark Passio
That is exactly why the left fears conservative speakers in colleges and protest them. They know logical thinking instead of emotionally thinking will eventually click with a lot of their students. They have to keep it away from them and control the flow of information.
You are brainwashed. Go get help.
This is FANTASTIC interview. The more I listen to Dennis Prager, the more I realize he’s a brilliant, wise, and moral man!
Hah
PragerU is nonsense
Same exact talking points still on point 4 years later. The guy was dead on with everything.
Around the time of this interview, Prager may have been on board the Lolita Express with
his good buddy, (and frequent flyer), Alan Dershowitz, who also has screwed up
views about women.
but does nothing
I love listening to people whose thoughts all tie together harmoniously. “Preach what you practice” is brilliant. Prager is and unflinching, honest leader.
Four years after this conversation. I was interested in Pat's observation of 'artsy' people being more emotional and liberal leaning. I would have classified myself this way, especially an art studio major. But after having kids, I was assulted with the harsh reality that the state wants to claim ownership over the next generation. This passion for protecting my family he as absolutely propelled me into the 'right' camp.
Everything I do is in the arts , but I've never leaned to the Left. And I have noticed that most of my artist friends are either strong Left or Strong Right, though far fewer on the Right. However there is something else I have observed about those that lean Left, because I've always wanted to understand what makes a person lean to 1 side or the other, which is what Pat was trying to get at in the video. But I think Patrick was unprepared to hear the answer, and Dennis knew better than to go there [ if he understands what it is].
There is a short-sightedness, and stubbornness, much like a child having a tantrum, where they insist, and want something all the more, as you try to explain why it's not a good idea. They become offended, and resort to accusing you of only wanting to deprive them of something, rather than trying to understand that it's in their best interest. Thus they equate disagreement with 'hate'. There's a refusal to consider any possibility that there's a good motive behind the disagreement. I doubt that anyone on youtube will ever really get into the bottom line differences, because it's too polarizing and hard to convince anyone on the Left of the basic psychological deception involved.
@@jameseverett9037 Using Prager's analogy...the left is the child that would eat the cheesecake, but have a tantrum if the wise dad (right) does not allow it. So blinded by their craving that there is no possible reasoning with them.
I just love listening to Dennis Prager. This was a very good and meaningful discussion.
I'm a black woman and I grew up in a house that was Democrat and I listened to all the rhetoric, but at some point in my life common sense came into play.
BLACKFIRSTDEALWITHIT BLACK common sense leads to wisdom
@@jondavis6302 sadly common sense just isn't that common
Congrats my family won’t speak to me
BLACKFIRSTDEALWITHIT BLACK that’s good
How ass backwards do you have to be in order to think Donald Trump is "common sense" or that voting for him is somehow going to stop the dirty sjws. What the hell does your race have to do with anything?
News flash people, both sides of the same coin. Trump is the swamp. The problem is people care about your race at all to begin with - notice it's all pandering.
What a nice person this Dennis Prager seems to be, nicely articulated points of view and relevant to this day
This has been so eye opening to me. I love the respect between these two giants while debating such deep issues.
Yes, people can agree to disagree. Everything does not have to be a battle. We all have somethings of value, pieces of the puzzle of solution, we learn from one another when we chill out and listen even after we do not agree with something. The Bible talks of the gifts of the spirit. Graciously learn what these are and see how many you have acquired as of yet
Dennis Prager is the man for all seasons. Great intellectual with common sense, speaks with confidence of his beliefs. Thank you for this interview!🙂🇺🇸
?
Lol
Agree, he is sharp
I don't understand why people unlike this video it's an amazing conversation. Patrick does a good job pushing Dennis's beliefs. I wish we all did this around the country.
Watch and learn how it is done with finesse. We all need to enter into dialog with one another rather than incite riotous attitudes. The Bible states, "An answer when mild turns away wrath." Loads of insightful mind renewing wisdom in the pages of the Holy Bible.
The ones that unlike are probably leftists. 🙄Followers of Maoist, Marxist and Castro type idiologies.
Prager is right the leftists don't make sense and ade now devoid of reason. It's all about disrupting and tearing down.
@@THEROOTMATTERS "The wicked flee when no man pursueth " exposes the Left's behavior in a depth rarely discussed, as well as the defensiveness and over-reactiveness of most people today.
I agree 100% with Dennis on women and men not being the same and sex is not the same for women as it is for men.
Dakota DellaFera what an original thought
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
And when that's respected it can really be beautiful.
@Alex M you clearly are not a nuanced thinker. You're part of the problem, nothing to add but you think trolling people to make yourself feel good is the same as making a moral point.
@AJ now go tell that to the academics teaching people there is no difference between fruit. The law makers that pass laws that penalize you for saying apples are not oranges.
This guy is speaking more truth than I've ever seen in my entire life their life this a man I could get behind
I was always leaned towards the left until I hit a certain age and I realized that basic survival skills aren't based on emotions.
That’s interesting considering most conservative beliefs are based on emotions not facts lol
@@dudebob9779 What , its the exact opposite in my opinion but please explain.
Chase Wood For example, most conservatives believe it is not okay to burn the flag even though flag burning is protected under the constitution. They choose to get upset with this and argue with emotion. The same way that most conservatives will argue with emotion regarding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem
@@dudebob9779 that makes sense however, many conservatives will admit it's completely fine under the law, but it's the symbolism behind it, (for me I do not like the burning of the flag because my great grandfather died in war and our family was given the flag to honor him , while his war mates handed my grandmother the flag they played the national anthem to pay respects and honor his service to our Nation , thats why I see it as disrespectful)doing a controversial act and it being protected by the constitution doesn't mean you are protected by the backlash. It's completely fine under the constitution to say the N word or to burn the LGBT flag BUT no one is exempt from the backlash especially when people literally die for the flag(not like yk "they fought for the country so they fought for the flag" but many people have died while undergun fire and refused to drop or leave the flag). So that argument specifically is an emotional one for Patriots not specifically conservatives.
Chase Wood I see your point and I’m sorry about your grandfather. My father also fought in the Iraq war and suffers tremendously from it. An example I thought of conservatives using emotion is with the BLM protests. In my experience a lot of conservatives deny and form of systemic racism, which is backed by a tremendous amount of evidence, I see conservatives rant about BLM using emotional arguments to oppose BLM.
I discovered Dennis on PragerU during the lockdowns of 2020, and he was very interesting and encouraging to me. God got me through those difficult times watching Dennis and his common sense views! ❤
Dennis is wisdom upon wisdom. I would love to sit down and have a 3 hour conversation with him about any and everything.
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing tomatoes don't belong in fruit salad.
Mein Gott, that's deep. I believe you just quoted Rush Limbo in re his June 10, 1992 broadcast where he let them darn "liberals" have it for the umpteenth or so time.
Brilliant comment !
The guy is fucking serious man. My first words out of my mouth. Said with a respectful amazed tone of voice. What a great conversation. My brain and my mind were aligned, told me to stop what I was doing and pay attention to this thought provoking ,confirming conversation. Thanks guys.
You have very low aptitude
You sex fiend dog!
“People who think we can have a great world without God are naive” *puffs his cigar* I loved this.
I'd rather be naive and correct than blind and wrong
@@WhatsIQ Yawn
@@WhatsIQ the extreme naivete' comes from believing that a world where no one believes in ultimately accountability, would also be one where more people would actually have a higher standard of self discipline and honesty in situations where dishonesty would benefit them far more than honesty. This is what you would have to believe: again, that as undisciplined and dishonest as so many are now, they would be far less so -that is, far more inclined to resist the temptation to cheat -with the understanding that they will never be accountable for anything they can get away with.
"I always have strong views on things I have strong views on" - Dennis Prager
This video should be renamed "Patrick Bet-David Gets Pushed By Dennis Prager."
Geddy Friedman : Pat kissing Dennis butt! I don’t know why he interviews proud old dudes!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA Good one!
Fuck off Friedman we all know why you say that
Absolutety !
Lol Patrick did good though, he’s just has that style
Prager is a very wise man and we definitely need more wisdom in this country.
I figured out a long time ago that it is wisdom that makes a person intelligent - not being a walking encyclopedia. Knowledge is important but it's how you learn from it and process the information. This is why a man with a very high I.Q. with no wisdom, is basically an idiot. I have a friend who can tell you all kinds of knowledgeable things but talk to him about politics and just simple commonsense answers and you'd think his I.Q. is that of a retard.
@Malic Bk those who fail deflect and point out system flaws instead of focusing on their flaws.
By far the best interview I've seen on this channel.
Dennis conquered the respect of the youth around the world. Thanks GOD for Dennis.
@John wayne How is a con man please explain.. fucken brainwashed lol. How is this a thing where you can just throw something and say without any argument to support it whatsoever...
@@Rc-a322 He lies to you and makes money out of it.
@Moe Snert I don't care if I convince you, it is up to you to investigate whether what you're being told is a lie or not
@Moe Snert Even if I did provide evidence, you're on a prager video so I doubt it'd sway you
@Moe Snert I don't even remember posting, I occasionally talk shit on Conservative channels when I'm drunk so it's probably from one of those times
Great interview! Highly respect both gentlemen… off topic.. seeing the Book Beautiful Joe in Dennis’s library warmed my heart, one of my favorite stories growing up ♥️ 🐶
God bless Prager your passion for truth is inspiring.
God bless his "passion", but Goshdarn his results. May his failure to ultimately convince a smart and discerning bugger like you be his "rock bottom".
Prager is a "Israhell First" Zionist NeoCon
He's a fucking Zionist neo-con you idiot! Israeli firster
I remember Patrick Moynahan! He coined a phrase I love: "The Dumbing Down of America." It was systematic and seemingly complete by now.
I use that phrase often, I din't know it originated with Moynahan.
Thank you for such a brilliant interview👍🏾
23:58 love how he puts him back in his place very calmly and politely😅😅😅 just love prager!!
Malaika Ameerah He's brilliant and a gentleman.
I love the way Dennis explains his certainty in many of his positions. The positions aren't right because Dennis believes them; Dennis believes them because they're right.
That's a prime example of wisdom.
@Max Kronader; It may seem like Wisdom to You, but clearly not to Dennis. Being within the sources, transmission and lineage of the basis Dennis is describing, am able to clarify this point accurately. Dennis is explaining the premise, basis, base, mindset, view, perspective, and perception of the idea, concept, principle, knowledge as correct, true and proper because they are so from internally, recognizable from within in, internally, through proper thinking and reason. What also is true, which he does not state explicitly, but inferred or at least implied, is the source, being The Creator, which he knows from The Five Books of The Toroh, he also knows that his essence contains these ideas, concepts, principles, and within his own existence too. Similarly, there are many basics within each human, internal to their creation, if and when able to connect with it.
Wisdom is another form, type of thought and thought process.
Hope this helps for more clarity.
Similarly
@@newtonfirefly3584
I think you completely misunderstood my post.
@@maxkronader5225 My point is clearly focused upon Your statement of what wisdom is and according to Dennis.
The beginning of Your comment is proper.
The final statement is the focus of my commitments to You
I missed the part where Dennis Prager gets pushed by the other person?
Thank you. The title and the picture give the wrong impression here. This was a pretty clean interview. Patrick is always respectful to his guests. Pushing is not the right term.
Yeah I think "pressed" would have been a better choice of words
😁
Exactly. All we got from Dennis was incontrovertible WISDOM.
@@l.rongardner2150 Dennis is a compulsive liar and woefully uneducated. Do Academics ever talk to him?, No.
His comment about humans not naturally being good, gives great insight into him. With his knowledge and experience one would suspect that he has found others who proclaim the opposite. I personally found my foundational instincts and that of my family to be very good. They are poor people but very honest and good overall. It was very difficult for me to realize that an equal amount of people probably are inclined to be dark or driven more by fear. Mr Prager is one of them.
This is possibly one of the best arguments I've ever heard on a rational religious and political debate👏
I'm so glad those channel exists
I appreciate both your perspectives.
I love both of these guys! If you keep an open mind you can always learn new things.
Dennis Prager a man of "WISDOM".
Loved the discussion. Loved the dog eyeing Patrick from the side waiting for the command to bite.
Smart means nothing, and educated also, means nothing, but wisdom is everything! Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
...then Immediately follow with "but Wisdom also doesn't mean you're smart or educated." because people get easily offended when I rationalize it that way.
All the while you found out that stupid GED don't mean nothing!
deme9873 wisdom = the use of your knowledge (applying it). Learning how to use our brains for learning, should never stop. Ty for reading. Now start learning with your brains.
WOW THIS IS THE MOST AWSOME PODCAST I HEARD IN YEARS. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENCE. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEFT AND LIVBERALS. YOU WISDOM IS IMPORTANT!
I hope another conversation episode with Dennis Prager happens. That man is sooo brilliant.
Are you being sarcastic?
hes insane
@@isaacmcareavey237 agreed.
Not because of your guest, political positions, or religious beliefs...hands down one of your BEST thought provoking interviews ever. 👍🏼
“Are you saying that bc you want cheesecake right now?” HAHAHAHAHAHA I died. Love this guy! (Both of them, really)
Absolutely love Patrick. Top dude!
Crazy how right Dennis Prager is! 2022 and looking back. Interesting
Whoa, watching this after seeing the newest episode today. Dennis' wisdom prevailed
Dr Prager would have my vote. This was really a wonderful interview, well done.
Good job Dennis could never run anything apart from a online University. So dumb people like yourself would ever have the chance for him. But I suppose a country that elected Donald Trump, could elect a idiot the Prager
@@markseymour1975 what's the alternative?
Oh man. What an EXCELLENT interview. Thank you. I’ve seen many of the PragerU videos, but now I’m a fan of Dennis himself.
Wow. Stumbled across this. I was HOOKED.
DEFINITELY SAVED AND SHARED
I love Dennis Prager. He's a true patriot.
rick hall
What is a false patriot? How do you define 'patriotism'? How do you know that it is a 'good' thing? It is noble in you Americans but ignoble in others? Has God endorsed it in the pages of Scripture? If He had, that would convince me, but the more I have studied the Bible, the less inclined I have been toward it.
Does that seem strange to you?
(Romans 3:23) 'For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.'
(Matthew 28:19) 'Go therefore and make disciples of ALL the nations, baptizing them in the name of hte Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit...............'
(Caps for emphasis.)
That is all that I have ever wanted to do...influence people positively!!!
One of your best interviews, thank you Patrick.
Thouroughly enjoyed this interview. This is the proper way to have a discussion
I gotta give my own pushback here. I am 53 years old. I had a very religious father who was physically abusive to the point where my mother divorced him because she was afraid he would kill me. In my twenties and thirties, I discovered I was far, far, FAR from being any kind of exception. I remember the Evangelical preachers of the 80's using the Gospel to preach judgment, damnation and spiritually terrorizing people. Contrary to the claim that divorce went up after "no fault" divorce, no, actually, divorce starting going up after Behaviorism discovered that child abuse was a serious problem and a whole lot of religious figures, particularly preachers and deacons, were savagely abusive to their children, -and so child abuse became a legitimate reason for a divorce.
And one must also remember that Christians don't just believe in God. They believe in ridiculous things like the first man being molded from dirt and the first woman being molded from the first man's rib. These are the people who objected to the theory of evolution. These people preached abstinence only when it was obvious to everyone else that it DOES NOT WORK on those hotheaded, rebellious teenagers!! These people continue to preach that homosexuality is a learned behavior, despite the fact that mountains of evidence are against it. These are the people who actually push discerning minds away from not only Christianity, but any kind of sprirituality.
It also doesn't help that Prager is reinforcing the stereotype of the big, fat, white guy wearing an expensive suit and smoking a huge cigar and babbling in his luxurious sitting room, showing zero empathy and tons of judgment. He goes on about the Left having no wisdom. He gives examples of wisdom but they are all abstract. Bragging about your wisdom just makes you look like a buffoon. The problem with wisdom is that it isn't measurable and so many big mouthed jerks like Prager can make up BS and pass it off as wisdom. The wisest people I've known don't sit there and foghorn their opinions everywhere like Prager does. They tend to be very quiet people, who, on a specific occasion, will make one simple statement that fills the room and brings everyone in it together. That's not Prager. Also, Prager admitting he has "strong views"... yeah, that could also be called "closed minded". And Prager definitely IS closed minded.
I'm all upset now. I'm gonna listen to some Alan Watts.
"All of life is a battle between the brain and the mind"
Reason is to rule, but true, pure emotion, joy, pleasure, anger etc. should follow.
The problem these days is that people are being programmed to follow their emotions, not reason.
The programming is rampant in the entertainment industry. Now schools, news etc. have all jumped onto the emotionally driven train, which is bound to reck.
The unscrupulous have found that emotionally driven people are extremely pliable in their hands.
@@kathleennorton6108 You have some very good examples of how entertainment, advertisers, politicians and other gain their followers.
Actually am very connected with the source of what Dennis states, though the exact translation chosen needs further explanation.
You can ask, what is "the brain", and what is "the mind"? Are they not both the same, or in the same location? How are they different.
You chose to use some of what Dennis explained with examples, as emotion. Where are the emotions? The Psychologists say emotions are part of the psyche. So are other thoughts. Thus, emotions are a type of thought. We have many types of thoughts, thought processes, aspects and attributes of thought. What You seem to describe is using reason over emotion, simply.
As a female, woman, would expect You know an essential difference between males and females, men and women in their thoughts, thought process, especially as it relates with reason and emotion. Simply speaking both have elements of each. The female, woman psyche on balance, uses more emotion in the evaluation and decision process, and the male, man uses more reason. Another aspect, in the balance, is which has more precedence, emotion or reason. Thus with both present, for the female, woman, her emotion has the slight edge in the evaluation and toward the decision, while for the male, man, his reason has the slight edge. Men will tend to use reason to justify their emotions, while a woman will use her emotions to justify her reason.
Does this seem correct, relatable and reasonable to You? [these explanations were explained to me, and realized them more over time, especially within my marriage and children]. Also learned from two experts in neurology [both women], there is actually a difference between male and female brain connections from the right to left side. A male has a longer path through neurons which the female does not. Thus explaining the difficulty a woman has in explaining her reasoning of the decision compared with a man [hopefully explained this properly]. Thus the people who claim males and females are the same are incorrect biologically from the brain, and the concept of a male born into a female body or vice versa, is false with another biological basis beside the other obvious physical manifestations and hormones.
[The issues and false premises, basis, explanations of all LGBTQ+ behavior and thinking are easily explained, and why they are explicitly forbidden for all humans]
Your ideas of Reason to rule and emotions should follow, seems good, but please tell me how that can possibly work for You as female, woman?
There is clearly a need for each. We need proper balance of all types of thought.
Also agree advertising, entertainment, etc. are very focused upon emotions and they use other related aspects of desires, pleasures, which also have emotional connections for many. Their approach and focus it clearly to achieve the desired surface affect and with that their desired more internal and deeper affect.
What Dennis is actually explaining is the balance of the thought types and thought process in each situation, including some of the simple situations and examples he presented. Thre are many levels and steps can be developed and learned just from the cheese cake example.
Hope this fits with some of Your thoughts and brings additional clarity.
Sincerely
@@newtonfirefly3584
People are more than the way their brains are set up to possibly dominate.
Exceedingly many men and women are being programmed to follow what they feel, independent of reason, and are doing so.
I am a woman and I have learned to be analyticak, to stop and really take the time to think things through. It can be done.
If one reads The Bible on a constant, regular basis, it will do it's work, whether one is a man or a woman.
We all have the mind of Christ. It is a matter of learning to think from His mind.
The male and, or female mind is completely insufficient, apart from His mind. For Jesus is reality.
Apart from Him we may all have our own thoughts and bents, but reality is exceedingly complex, unknowable and very confusing. He gives us tools within ourselves to navigate it, somewhat, but without His mind, activated by His Spirit, who can know it?
People have two sides to their brains. One side is very logical, and reasoned based. The other side is more emotional, artistic, and even somewhat intuitive.
Females have both sides of their brains connected, down the middle of the brain. We can, therefore, put many things together at one time.
Men's brains are much more divided down the middle, so they tend to operate more heavily out of the logical side of their brain. At a given moment of thought they operate dominantly out of just one side of their brains.
There are advantages to both ways of thinking. That is why men and women balance each other.
It should not be thought that a Bible reading, prayerful women is largely open to deception, just because she is a women.
Being a Christian, taught correct doctrine, and constantly in prayer, as all should be, completely overcomes any dominating emotional factor in the brain. Though God also reveals Himself through our emotions, in line and under His Word. A well balanced woman doesn't lean to emotions, just because she also processes them, as well as logic.
God has ordained the man to be the head of the family. In situations where many things must be taken in to consideration, apparently pure logic may have an advantage, especially in things that must be decided very quickly.
The husband, though, if time allows, is wise to listen to his wife, and take into consideration her more varied viewpoints.
The major problem with following the woman is that life requires risks to be led successfully.
A woman is less inclined to take risks, as she is more emotionally attached to the children. She also may have a greater fear factor, as she is more physically in tune to the emotionally wired side of her brain.
On the other hand, she should be very thoughtful to think things out logically, for the protection of the children she loves so deeply with her emotions.
I am speaking in generalities. I know strong woman that are very unshakable. It seems a strength can come through a woman who had made her mind up for the truth, that can rival a man's.
The deep deciding factor is, does she know God? Is she in touch with God and His Word, in such a way that He is her truth, strength, and her character?
God transcends every other factor in human life.
A careful study of The Old Testament will reveal amazingly strong women, who saved many with their wisdom and strength of mind.
Women, especially lost women, may have a bend to be ruled by emotions, especially when programmed to be so, but it is not a necessary condition of all woman.
A true Christian woman of faith, who reads her Bible often, and is in constant touch with God through prayer, is a mighty force to be reckoned with.
P.S. Also, fasting with prayer allows for the connection with the mind of Christ, which surpasses ourselves.
This was one of your most enjoyable debates. It was very interesting and filled with wisdom
Love learning your wisdom which strangly I already have similar to Mr. Prager.
I love DP! He is definitely not double minded, always means what he says and never flounders. I may not always agree with his POV but i definitely respect him for his beliefs and the fact that he speaks facts without emotions. I grew up democrat because I was told that is what minorities did, until I researched and came to the conclusion that everything i believe in as a person aligned with the conservatives than it did with the democratic party.
Great interview and I like the pictures that you added to add some context and meaning.
I lost it when I saw that one of the books sitting out is a Italian Vegetarian cook book. 🤣🤣
Some people do listen to their parents. I did. Respect turns out very well.
If I lisetened to my family I would be a dead corpse long time ago. Thak God I had the wisdom to disobey them and run for my life.
Awesome interview… Dennis Prager is absolutely amazing and his assessment of Thomas Sowell is spot on. I also enjoyed Patrick Bet-David’s interview style.
Thank you for this interview. This was tremendous!
Another great interview. Dennis is one of my favorites.
Another GREAT interview!!! I loved it and I learned so much. Your sense of humor cracks me up. Let's Go Brandon!
Fjb and God bless the Republic.
Summary quote: "Imagine a map; knowledge is knowing where all the locations are on that map. Wisdom is knowing the proper routes to reach those locations." - Dennis Prager
Bet-David, with all due respect, you are attacking Prager's beliefs based on how they came to be known. This is the genetic fallacy! Beliefs should be judged on their merits. Besides, the question "what *would* you believe had you had been influenced by different people" is a far less important question than the question "what *should* you believe despite your influences".
That’s also a good question however my biggest challenge is trying to figure out what causes these men and women to have such strong opinions. Is it a loyalty to their parents or a separation from them.
On a side note, I push because the truth typically comes out sooner when pushed.
That's a possibility but it could also be that it has nothing at all to do with their parents. For example, my parents taught me as a kid that eating my vegetables was good for me. Whether or not my belief about eating vegetables was instilled by my parents could be a factor in how the belief came to be known but, as you know, that has no bearing on whether or not the belief is false. I would defend my belief that eating vegetables is healthy but that has nothing to do with my parents. I understand that you are exploring a much deeper and nuanced phenomena though. Great interview BTW!
I like your interview style. Very effective given the constraints you are working with. Effective as in Driving a conversation that is more informative and thus entertaining. Ty
Attacking? More like good interviewing. Asking probing questions in a friendly and respectful manner. If only more people interviewed as Patrick does.
I think you pushed, in a respectable manner. Mr. Prager is a big boy, he can handle himself.
I truly dont understand the vilification of a *democratic* government. The problem with government comes from the private sector.

It’s not that the right is wisdom. It’s just that the wisdom is on the right. A person can claim to be on the right and not be wise. But you cannot be wise and be on the left. At this point it’s not really politics. We are split down between the sane and logical, and the insane and emotional.
Long story short I grew up California liberal most of my life and I ended up red pilling myself when I started doing my own research and I'm a little more conservative and steering clear far away from the left!
Patrick, I am really impressed with how you listen carefully and stay focused in conversation. You clearly pay very close attention to what points to agree on and what points to question, and you don't get sidetracked on pointless disagreement. Excellent interview, sir.
🙏💪🏽
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." God didn't make me good, I made me good.
Love this man. A whole wisdom is here.
Wisdom is the important thing!!!
When you listen to them talk. You can clearly tell. Who has wisdom, and who is does not.
?
@@gersainc. one sales his point and agenda. The other uses wisdom and logic to prove points.
@@anthonymccoy7711 thank you.
Its clear you dont understand what you are watching.
@@nik07nik you are welcome your opinion. However, if listen carefully. You will see my point.
So much wisdom going on here. Incredible interview. Prager U and Valutainment might be the saviors of civilization. Thank you to Patrick and the team for getting this together.
I was raised by secular liberals and I'm a religious conservative. What Dennis said makes sense. I've always had common sense. If liberalism or leftism made sense, I'd probably be one.
“The left ruined football”
I love it!
all pro sports is a bunch of pampered, traitorous, nothings, think about, it you can run fast, jump high when your 6'10", catch a piece of leather with your hands, or another piece of leather, a glove, and hit a small piece of leather with a wooden stick, big FN deal, what a waste of time, and 10s of millions of sheeple, idolize these nothings!!!!!!!!!!
@@nickcarducci3413 jealous much?
@@nickcarducci3413 the Bible says idolatry is wrong, so in a sense I agree with you. Unfortunately a form of entertainments has become a form of religion, with many God's. I also agree that the left has ruined football, it's early 2020 the left has banned all professional/amateur sports and religion. They have declared war on Americas 1A.
But that's a different subject. LOL
@Jimmy Crickets
This is stupid. All sports are essentially child games. Hitting a ball, or kicking it, or driving in a circle .there are many people in this world who make way, way more than either me or you and the players, for doing less work. Why single these guys out?
Dennis is the epitome of a man who will never re-examine his beliefs and works backwards from every conclusion. I’d love to see him debate Destiny, probably the smack down of his lifetime.
How old are you?
If Destiny is your Champion then my word you have a serious problem on your hands.
Let me ask what you believe the purpose of debate to be?
Is it to destroy the other person or to exchange ideas and possibly learn something in the process?
Reagan said "in this current crisis, Government isn't the solution, government is the problem.
Reagan was an actor, and mostly an idiot. Even Prager admits in this very video, that government regulation is necessary.
@@MrMZaccone Very limited gov't.
@@rippin187 How limited and why? "Very" limited government allows for unlimited people who already have money and power to unjustly amass more money and power at the expense of others who can't purchase the same resources. It allows them to simply purchase the government and that's what has happened in this country. Do you really think a billionaire bankruptcy is significantly different from theft? Do you really think that corporations should be able to pay a less than living wage and then double dip into the welfare system? You want to minimize the welfare system? Pay people a living wage. You want a healthy economy? Make sure you have consumers with disposable income. You want to reduce health care costs? Get profit out of health insurance, it doesn't belong there. You want to reduce social security costs? Stop vulture capitalists from raiding private pension funds. All "very limited" government has done is strangle the middle class and increase wealth and income inequality. We need to go back to the rules we had in the 1950s, unarguably one of the most prosperous decades in U.S. history, and that's under a republican president Eisenhower. I used to be a conservative, and then I watched as pure unregulated capitalism put this country on its deathbed. It doesn't matter how strong the individual is, sooner or later there is greater strength in numbers. It can be in a form we agree upon by due process or it can be pitchforks and torches, you decide.
Capitalists don't follow that adage they want as much Government as it takes to monopolize markets. As much as it takes to keep out competition and innovation. Just look at Health care, Farming, Transportation, Energy, Education you name it and the Government Watchdogs and doorkeepers doing the bidding of Capitalism are all over them. Ronald Reagan was hands down the worst President in the entire history of the Republic. Every major problem we face in 2019 traces to his decisions. Be they in California or the country as a whole. Even this GD Jeffery Epstein got his start running guns for Reagan.
Edmond Dantez Reagan believed in limited government too just like prager. Of course they probably differ to the varied degree and areas of intervention but Reagan, wasn’t a libertarian and would find extreme common ground with prager’s beliefs.
“Are you saying that bc you want cheesecake right now” 😂😂

Interviewer
@Mikail Crews I was arguing against azul, i enjoyed the interview and felt it was well balanced
I enjoyed the conversation, and I subscribed to PragerU as I watched the entire video.
"Brillant and almost no wisdom". Just about half of my professors at Baylor and the University of North Texas fit into this category. (more so at UNT)
Go Bears!!!
I love these "Christian" universities, well, formerly and only in name like TCU is now who are nothing more than idiot mills cranking out useless piles of human waste.
That's because most of them have never left school to do anything productive in their entire lives.
@@Hoggdoc1946 damn! right on the money!!
Indeed, because the definition of "wisdom" is subjective.
As a retired teacher, my budget is limited but I never fail to support PragerU on a monthly basis. This interview is proof that my decision is a powerful one. Dennis' influence is so important. Thank you for this video. This is how we move our culture in the best direction for the future
dont support it
@@heckoff450 ? No explanation ?
Never forget, we older people only have limited income if we don't take advantage of all the opportunities there are for increasing wealth.
A retired teacher literally wasting your money on something that absolutely doesn't even need your financial support.... People like Dennis Prager prey on people like you just like every other phoney religious figure out there asking for money
I left my own comment here, which would serve as a good rebuttal to your statements. You can look for it and read it if you like. Prager is just a foghorn for BS, in my not so humble opinion.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put one in a fruit salad.
Haha mmmmm tomato fruit salad
Tomato is a vegetable
@@husseinali-ei6ft @Christopher Freeze: An interesting example to choose. WHY? Because a tomato has a combination of aspects of both vegetables and fruits.
Also, who says tomato does not go together with fruits or which fruits.
Example: Avocado is a fruit, clearly. Tomato and avocado go together well. Would You put avocado together with peaches, nectarines, pears, apples citrus??
Which other fruits would You put together with tomato? Some would put pineapple together with tomato and some will not. Also some have differences in tastes and combinations.
Sincerely
Perhaps We can conjure and conceive of better examples to show knowledge compared with wisdom
Dennis used a different word that knowledge, but could include it, as the Patrick used "Smart", which is often similar to intelligent [actually a potential[, not of just knowledge rather of thinking abilities. There is more details to describe and define the differences Dennis is explaining. He knows also there are several types and aspects of thought and thought processes. He is attempting to simplify them into one as used; "Smart". Wisdom is one of the types of thoughts which also has aspects of combination of others and also coming from The Creator, specifically in certain ways and paths. Actually, all forms, types of thoughts, thinking, thinking processes come from the creator including the thoughts themselves. However, this is probably difficult for most to accept, just yet.
Sincerely
@@newtonfirefly3584 interesting pov but according to the supreme court of 1893 tomatoes were classified as vegetables and sold under that category because of its culinary applications but botanically yes it could be a fruit but it bears no applications nor coherence to any fruit combination
@@husseinali-ei6ft correct there are both biotanic aspects of a tomato.
My comments listed combinations of tomato with a few fruits that are common or acceptable to many.
This interview was four years ago. I wonder how you feel about this interview now Patrick. As someone who has been on both the right and the hardcore left, I can tell you that Dennis is 1000% correct. I’ll never go back to the left again. The agenda is dangerous to the black family and society as a whole.
Good for you. 👍
I am so encouraged by reactions like yours! Back in the '60s when I was an undergrad, I was a "closet conservative" because faculty and most of my fellow students were hard core leftists. I was very sympathetic to the Civil rights movement and appalled by what was going on in the South at the hands of white ruling class Democrats. Following the Voting Rights Act of 1964, resisted and filibustered against by Southern AND Northern Democrat Senators, I was shocked by how Johnson's paternalistic Great Society poverty programs began to destroy the integrity of black families. I'm thrilled at the growing political emergence of prominent conservative African-Americans like Starr Parker, Winsome Sears, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Leo Tyrrell, Candace Owens, Jason Riley, Shelby Steele, Burgess Owens, Tim Scott, Larry Elder, Deroy Murdoch, Kevin Cork, Lawrence Taylor, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, Glen Loury, Hershel Walker, the late greats, Herman Cain and Walter Williams, Dineen Borrelli, and you add more, the bench is deep and getting deeper. I think Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, Dr. King, and maybe even Malcolm X would be pleased.
@@bearowen5480 I concur.
@@bearowen5480 Great comment however please stop saying “African American”. This is a nonsense phrase made up by race hustler Jessie Jackson to divide us. We are all Americans. No modifiers needed.
I absolutely agree with you. I too was once on the left. Now that I'm older, wiser and with life experience, I see through all the smoke and mirrors that the left uses to keep a strong hold on people. No more! They are destroying everything around us and as a free American, I will not tolerate that. As a once newly arrived immigrant, my family arrived here because of the greatness of this country. Now people are LITERALLY thinking of leaving because of how bad the Democrat party is stripping us of our freedoms and destroying everything they tough. At this rate, it will not end well for this once great nation.
Dennis Praeger , Jordan Peterson and Thomas Sowell are one of the most brilliant minds of our times ...and doubled by outstanding characters ...a brilliant mind is nothing without a good heart and character
And common sense.
Prager, absolutely not.
Jordan Peterson and Thomas Sowell are Brilliant.
Dennis Prager not even close
@@j.p.7298Agree. He really has duped Evangelicals for sure.
Are you kidding me??? You obviously don't have any idea what the Talmudic Jew feels about the Gentiles. Look into it.
It changed my life when I heard, "facts don't care about your feelings".
google "truthiness"
Fact: The founders of America defined Americans as "WHITE persons of good character.". Race AND values are both essential. Prager and Shapiro deny the founding values of America and hold in contempt anyone today who agree with the 1790 immigration policy. They are liars and revisionists.
lorem ipsum " This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were free White persons of good character. It thus excluded American Indians, indentured servants, slaves, free blacks and later Asians, although free blacks were allowed citizenship at the state level in certain states." Yes, founding value of America was racism and slavery, which some of you still cherish, even after all this years.
It changed my life when I found out you don't have to have any academic creds to start a fake university spouting propaganda. All you have to have is backers with deep pockets.
rewire.news/article/2015/04/30/conservatives-spend-millions-proselytizing-school-children/
@@uros___vvvv -- Let's pretend there is such a thing as racism, as you claim. Okay, then why does Prager lie about America and pretend it was founded on "values"? Because Prager is a liar as I already said. You agree. Conservatives today are liberals just as Prager says. Prager is a revisionist and liar.

@@nancygallantclough7623Pat has matured in the last 5 year's or so. He should have shown more respect to Dennis.
Now everyone is wondering what the original comment was.
That is no big deal .. you can have a meaningful dicussion with pretty much everyone as long as you dont represent, for example a country like Iran that threatens to wipe your nation "off the map".
@@mikeschneider1624 that is true

Two humans talking.
@@reprogrammingmind the purim story was focused in persia which is iran today. look up the book of esther in the old testament. the main place where jews were in that time was in iran. only since 1980 with the islamic revolution the jews had to flee.
Tom Sowell is the man that changed my life. Anytime he gets mentioned, it warms my heart. He truly is an American legend and deserves all the credit in the world.
Great interview, Dennis is such a great man
It is an outrage that we do not have a Sowell School of economics at a major university.
I love Thomas Sowell too! I'm So glad he is alive and well I hope...
Prager is BRILLANT!!! HE AND I HAVE THE MIND!!! ITS VERY RARE AND LONLEY BECAUSE ITS RARE.
NO PERSON IS TRULY WISE WHO DOESNT KNOW JESUS IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ESCAPE FROM HELL ON EARTH AND HELL FOREVER.
I met Thomas Sowell many years ago. He changed my life as well.
“My professors were brilliant but had almost no wisdom. They taught me that men and women are basically the same. You can be brilliant and believe that but you can’t be wise and believe that.“ 00:25:31

Absolutely fantastic interview and wholesome conversation between two adults... I could have listened to four more hours of this!!!
I love that when the pressure is on, Dennis doesn't reverse himself. Very good interview, all politicians should be interviewed this way.
Instead of dancing around the issue, like Trump, he digs right in and defend himself.
Like trump and like Biden and everyone else running for president. You should look at what the current administration has done to destroy this country since they are the people currently running the show
@@Dave-te5bs rent free...
This is why I say if CNN hires PBD and give him his own show their ratings will be off the charts...he is an excellent interviewer.
Prague believe idiotic shit . No such thing as rational Bible. Marrying ppl same “faith” not always true it’s kindness that makes relationships work. Prague has been known to preach some radical religious fundamentalist. Religion is relic of the past . The problem is Prague doesn’t believe limited government he doesn’t talk about ending the drug war. Religion and government sometimes together one places nazis recruited Christians . This guy Is a fundamentalist. Being good to him is being religious fanatic
It's true that I saw a lot of democrats live a conservative lifestyle but advocating democratic ideas and values.
Their called bluedog dems and they are.ok for the most part
