Ep. 200 - Good Things to Celebrate with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit

In the wake of the FBI raid on a former president’s home, Dennis reminds us that freedom is a value, not an instinct.

Ep. 250 — Is Liberty in Your Nature?

What does Dennis think about the recent state of emergency declared over Monkeypox? Is it just another excuse for more government control?

In this week’s episode, Dennis shares his thoughts on the self-love movement. He reacts to popular quotes, song lyrics, and a tweet about never leaving home as an act of self-love.

Dennis addresses the younger generation and shares his thoughts on how they’ve been deprived of the best things in life: God and Country.

The best habit, and Dennis’s favorite, is gratitude!

Ep. 245 — The Danger of "Health Above All"

In the wake of the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, Dennis discusses what he finds most disturbing about the pro-choice stance and what’s happened with the left’s moral compass. He also answers your questions on suffering, meaningful identities, patriotism in America, and the difficult question plaguing young people today: “What should I do with my life?” Dennis wishes everyone a happy and meaningful 4th of July!

Ep. 244 — Dennis Reacts: Overturning Roe v. Wade

Dennis reacts to a tweet about the “offensiveness” of asking someone, “Where Are You From?” He also answers questions on complex topics including hate, identity, and LGBTQ influence on children. Remember, the one freedom no one can take away from you is how you choose to react!

Ep. 243 — Is It Offensive To Ask "Where Are You From?"

In reaction to the recent Texas shooting, Dennis gives his thoughts on gun violence, its increasing frequency, and its potential causes.

Ep. 241 — What Is More Dangerous than Guns?

Is it free markets or government intervention that is mostly to blame for the diminishing middle class in this country? Batya Ungar-Sargon, Newsweek’s deputy opinion editor, joins Dennis and provides a Marxist perspective on the issue. You may be surprised how Dennis responds!

Ep. 240 — Q&A with Self-Described Marxist Batya Ungar-Sargon

This week Dennis comments on reactions to the Buffalo shooting and delivers the speech he would have given to the public following the tragedy, shares his thoughts on open-mindedness, and offers advice to a conservative in a left-dominated profession. He encourages us to remember that values matter, not race!

Ep. 238 — The Fringe Does Not Define America

This week Dennis visits with Dr. Dave Arnott, Dallas Baptist University’s Professor of Management and Economics, to discuss Biblical economics. People often dismiss the Bible’s relevance on this topic—based on its 2,000-year age. Their conversation reveals the Bible’s ancient wisdom on hard work, monopolies, property ownership, trade, and socialist ideas.

Ep. 237 — Can We Learn about Economics from the Bible? with Professor Dave Arnott

Dennis reflects on why he reached peak happiness at his son’s recent wedding. He asks parents: Which would bring you more joy—your child getting admitted to a prestigious college…or getting married? If the latter, why? Are you communicating your priorities to your children? What do they believe are your priorities?

Ep. 233 — The Happiest Day of My Life

Freedom is clearly precious. There is real evil in this world intending to destroy it. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is proof. Dennis analyzes Putin’s invasion and connects the dots to the environmentalist movement’s involvement.

Ep. 228 — The Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Is Canada lost? Dennis addresses Canada’s rapid descent into authoritarianism—suspending and violating basic human rights and freezing bank accounts of those supporting dissenters. Worst of all, many Canadians support this crackdown. Dennis explores whether there is still hope for our neighbors to the north.
