If you thought progressives ruled the narrative film space, wait ‘til you see what documentarians are up to these days.
Time and again nonfiction filmmakers tell stories shot through a hard-Left lens across all major platforms.
That’s changing. Slowly.
The following eight films are all less than 10-years-old. They lack the budgets of their deep-pocketed peers and a few slipped past most consumers.
They’re still powerful films that deserve your attention. Conservatives would be wise to watch them all — stat — and then tell a friend to do the same.

How did director Ted Balaker see the attacks on comedy coming before the rest of us? His <a href="https://www.canwetakeajoke.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2015 film</a> lets comedians defend their craft amidst early examples of what would be later known as Cancel Culture. Adam Carolla, Jim Norton, and the late, great Gilbert Gottfried share how the best comedy comes from an uncensored mind, and why it’s critical that comics have the freedom to say what they want.
Years later, stand-ups like Dave Chappelle and Joe Rogan learned the hard way what happens when you let the woke movement get a toehold in the culture.

Carolla, again, is center stage alongside Dennis Prager <a href="https://nosafespaces.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in another docu-warning</a> we failed to heed. The dissimilar talkers explore the attacks on free speech happening on college campuses nationwide.
The film introduced audiences to Bret Weinstein, the liberal professor who was all but chased off campus for having an “unapproved” opinion on race relations. Other tales are equally alarming.
Director Justin Folk took an incendiary topic and made it lively, informative, and more than a little scary. Michael Meyers has nothing on woke college students eager to snag another professorial scalp for their mantle.

The pandemic lockdowns forbid many churchgoers from entering their place of worship, forcing them to stay home rather than find comfort in their faith. Oh, but you could still protest on behalf of Black Lives Matter and celebrate the election of Joe Biden.
We need a dozen documentaries to record the injustices doled out during the pandemic. “<a href="https://essentialchurchmovie.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Essential Church</a>” takes a laser-focused approach to how it impacted religious people and how some Christians refused to obey factually wobbly rules.
It’s a powerful documentary that captures church culture better any movie in recent memory. It also effectively mocks the political cowards who demanded we stay locked down but couldn’t defend their orders in a court of law.

That provocative title sets the stage for director Eli Steele’s <a href="https://whatkilledmichaelbrown.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">essential documentary</a>. Steele visits Ferguson, Missouri, the town where the hulking Brown died at the hands of a police officer. The documentary’s jazz-inflected score underlines the many lies spread about Brown’s death and how various parties used his tragic passing to benefit their agendas.
The “Hands up Don’t Shoot” narrative gets the fact-checking it richly deserves, but the film also compares the nonviolent protests of the 1960s, when racism ran unchecked in much of America, to the “mostly peaceful” version we have today.

Social media and journalists tried to turn teen Nick Sandmann into the personification of MAGA Nation following a 2019 incident in D.C. Instead, both parties shamed themselves by selectively editing the kerfuffle in the worst way possible.

The film has more empathy than necessary for the journalists who fell for the false narrative. Otherwise, it’s a blistering and necessary takedown.
********
The best part of this list? Other films, like Nick Searcy’s “Capitol Punishment” and “The Plot Against the President” could have easily made it. We’re seeing more Right-leaning documentaries than ever before, a wonderful trend that will help a country reeling from one party rule in the government … and Hollywood.

What Is A Woman

“How do we make good people?”
Dennis Prager, founder of PragerU, posits that this is the most important question a society can ask itself and that our society spends far too little time asking it.
While many people spend plenty of time pursuing academic or athletic achievements, or proving their worth at work, very few people spend much time at all actively contemplating or improving their character. Most people generally assume by default that they’re good.
“It’s a very interesting riddle, isn’t it?” Prager notes. “Most everyone thinks they’re a good person, and yet, there’s a fair amount of evil out there.”
Prager argues that many people are able to paper over their moral shortcomings because, “We don’t assess our goodness by our behavior. We assess our goodness by our intentions,” and, as the old saying goes, good intentions often pave the road to hell.
Virtue is hard-won and often in short supply precisely because people don’t prioritize it, according to Prager. While intent is insufficient, the first step to being a good person is aiming to be a good person, because, as Prager puts it, “You become what you want to be.”
Prager outlines a handful of key qualities that he believes are especially necessary to become a good person: Honesty, courage, kindness, gratitude, responsibility, morality, self-awareness.
Barring exceptional circumstances (such as hiding another person from someone trying to kill them) it is generally a very bad thing to lie. And, once you start lying, it rarely stops at a singular lie – if you lie to your spouse about having an affair, for example, you’ll often have to lie about where you were and who you were with, and then if those alibis are questioned you’ll create more lies or try to get other people in your social circle to lie for you until the entire situation spirals out of control into an ever more complicated web of deceit.
Being honest with other people is a virtue, but so is the ability to be honest with yourself – to admit when you’ve made mistakes and to be self-aware enough to acknowledge your own failings, to improve your shortcomings, and avoid or resist what tempts you.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/coming-soon-episode-10-how-to-be-a-good-person" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Episode 10: How To Be A Good Person</a></h4>
Courage is also another lynchpin virtue, as being able to recognize right from wrong isn’t very useful if you aren’t willing to do what’s right. Doing the right thing can often be difficult or painful, but confronting challenging circumstances and making the hard, but right choice is foundational to being a good person.
Prager also highlights <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hurdles-to-happiness-prageru-masters-program-episode-7-now-available-on-dailywire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gratitude</a> as a keystone of happiness as well as goodness. 
“No ingrate is kind,” Prager says. “Ingratitude is a guarantor of meanness, of anger, of bitterness, of lashing out.”
On that note, Prager says that one of the quickest measures of another’s person is how they treat perfect strangers, particularly people they want nothing from who they outrank in some broad social hierarchy, say a waiter or a menial laborer at their place of work. If they take a moment to acknowledge the basic humanity of all people, recognizing them by name, thanking them, or even simply smiling at them, it is generally a very good sign, and if it isn’t something you do regularly, it’s a good habit to start working on.
“Goodness is cultivated on a daily basis with little behaviors, but little behaviors add up.” 
On a broader scale, good people take responsibility for their actions, support their families and communities, and are morally centered around proper values. While cultivating goodness requires a lifelong commitment and vigilant efforts, the payoff is that your world will be a warmer, brighter, and happier place.
“The biggest reward, probably, is that you bring good people into your life,” Prager says, which he describes as “the single greatest source of happiness.”

Marriage

The differences between men and women are as multifaceted as they are obvious. 
For decades intellectuals and those on the political Left have argued that there are no meaningful distinctions between men and women beyond the physical &#8211; and even the physical differences are denied by gender ideology, which has produced such bizarre linguistic contortions as “birthing person” or “person with a penis” and reduced the categories of “woman” and “man” into arbitrary, subjective sludge.
At the same time, an increasing body of <a href="https://stanmed.stanford.edu/how-mens-and-womens-brains-are-different/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scientific research</a> supports what sensible people have known since time immemorial – men and women are complementary opposites with different ways of thinking, doing, and being.
“Of course, men and women have a tremendous amount in common,” Dennis Prager, founder of PragerU, clarified. Research indicates that men and women have the same average intelligence, for example, and members of both sexes are still moral agents with the capacity to do good or evil, although the set of temptations each sex will face differs.
But similarly robust data indicates that men and women differ drastically in median <a href="https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20161011-do-men-and-women-really-have-different-personalities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">temperament</a>, <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19883140/#:~:text=Men%20showed%20stronger%20Realistic%20(d,d%20%3D%20%2D0.33)%20interests." target="_blank" rel="noopener">interests</a>, <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/26913183?seq=5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">political persuasion</a>, attitudes towards <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-parenting-gender-gap_b_11430888">child rearing</a>, <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationships</a>, and <a href="https://scitechdaily.com/what-factors-matter-in-sexual-attraction-for-men-and-women-of-different-ages/#:~:text=And%20while%20both%20sexes%20prefer,can%27t%20risk%20choosing%20poorly.">sexuality</a>, and even susceptibility to different kinds of <a href="https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2011/08/mental-illness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mental illness</a>.
Unlike the ironclad differences in body structure and genitalia, the temperamental differences between the sexes do exist on a spectrum &#8211; while some personality traits may be more common in women or more common in men, there will be some men who are more feminine, and some women who are more masculine. But the fact that there are exceptions to the rule does not disprove the general pattern: while there is considerable overlap between the sexes along dimensions, along others the typical differences are so great that exceptions are few and far between.
“We have to make generalizations but they have to be intelligent generalizations,” Prager says. “And you always have to offer examples to make your point about the generalization.”
One article Prager <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cites</a> notes that women are more likely to suffer from mood disorders such as anxiety or depression, while men are more likely to have autism or ADHD. That roughly tracks with personality research, which suggests that women are more sensitive to negative emotion than men, while men are on average <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more impulsive</a> and less sensitive to social cues than women. While there is no shortage of depressed men or autistic women, women are <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">twice as likely</a> to be diagnosed with depression and men are more than<a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 4 times</a> as likely to be autistic.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/coming-soon-episode-8-differences-between-men-and-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Episode 8: Differences Between Men And Women</a></h4>
Another point Prager notes is that male and female infants play differently and have sex-based preferences in activities and toys. These differences have been validated cross-culturally and across species – infant <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">monkeys</a> prefer either wheeled toys or plush, doll-like toys depending on whether or not they’re male or female. As a whole, males are consistently more interested in motion and action while females are more interested in faces and people.
Prager also recounts an anecdote where lifelong liberal Larry Summers — former Clinton Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University — <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bought</a> his young daughter toy trucks in an attempt to be “gender neutral “ as a parent, only for her to immediately treat the toys like dolls, dubbing the larger one “daddy truck” and the smaller one “baby truck.”
Men are also much more physically aggressive than women and more likely to resort to violence. They tend to be more competitive and less likely to take disputes personally — Prager notes that male athletes have been found to be more likely to shake hands, pat each other on the back or otherwise physically reconcile after a high-level competition than female athletes are.
Men also tend to be more rough-and-tumble in their friendships. “When men really like each other, they insult each other,” Prager notes. By contrast, female friendships tend to be built on emotional support and intimacy — what a man might think of as playful teasing would in that context be a devastating slight.
Women, by contrast, tend to be more innately nurturing. They largely avoid physical confrontation and are highly concerned with the health of relationships and the needs of infants and other vulnerable members of the group.
“Women are optimized for taking care of a child,” Prager says, noting that this observation should be uncontroversial whether you believe they evolved to be this way or were created for that purpose. The fact of the difference and the obviousness of its importance is incontrovertible — human beings could not exist if someone wasn’t focused on caring for the next generation.
Prager also notes that this difference extends beyond the immediate household and applies to views of society at large.
“Women overwhelmingly are more likely to vote for the parties that want to nurture those in society who are, for example, poorer. They vote for the nurturing party,” Prager said. 
Perhaps most frustratingly, men and women have different approaches to sex and romance, and often radically misunderstand one another.
“Women are aroused by their minds, men are aroused by their eyes,” Prager argues.
Men are predominantly aroused by visual cues of attraction: facial symmetry, waist-hip ratios, and other cues for fertility and health. They also have a greater interest in casual sex and are allured by the prospect of sexual variety — they are overwhelmingly more likely to consume pornography, patronize prostitutes, or pursue casual hookups.
“It&#8217;s not an excuse,” Prager says, arguing that those tendencies can be extremely destructive and have to be reined in, “but the fact that reality poses a problem is not a reason for a mature person to dismiss the reality.”
By contrast, while women are attracted to good-looking men, looks alone are rarely enough to keep their attention for long. Prager provides a list of other factors women consider when assessing a man that are at least as important as his looks, if not more so, including (but not limited to): “Voice, height, brains, personality, money, success, fame, power, charm, sense of humor, confidence.”
Put more <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scientifically</a>: “While both sexes prefer a physically attractive mate or potential partner, males have been shown to report stronger such preferences for attractiveness … Females are more selective about other characteristics because their time for reproduction is more limited so they can’t risk choosing poorly.”
Prager also noted that the feminist push for “empowered” women to adopt male sexual norms and pursue casual sex was actively making women <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">miserable</a>. Denying the various differences causes both sexes to dismiss or disregard those differences, hurting themselves and each other.
“The better men and women understand each other, the more they&#8217;ll accept each other&#8217;s differences,” Prager says, “and that can serve as a very big help in their relationship.”

Join <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/coming-soon-episode-7-hurdles-to-happiness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dennis Prager</a> as he explores common obstacles to the pursuit of happiness that many people face.
Prager, the founder of PragerU, has a long-running interest in the subject of happiness — in 1998 he <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Serious-Problem-Nature-Repair/dp/0060987359/ref=sr_1_1?hvadid=241639596133&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9013191&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=12728985553921840812&amp;hvtargid=kwd-142068242&amp;hydadcr=22591_10356101&amp;keywords=happiness+is+a+serious+problem&amp;qid=1689173971&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> ‘Happiness Is a Serious Problem: A Human Nature Repair Manual’, and he carries over many of the same insights into his lecture on the subject.
Firstly, Prager argues that happiness is not merely an arbitrary emotional state: it is something that must be actively pursued, the same way a person would pursue a career, an education, a relationship, or any other value in life. Happiness has prerequisites, and foremost amongst them is gratitude.
“You can’t be happy if you’re not grateful,” Prager says. Being able to appreciate the things that you have instead of obsessing over the things that you don’t is immensely important — if you don’t appreciate the blessings you have in life, how are they supposed to make you happy?
Unfortunately, many people construct their entire identities around the idea that they are a victim, that they are oppressed, that they have been wronged and denied the goods and opportunities they deserve — victimhood has acquired an air of prestige and moral superiority.
“If you think of yourself as a victim, by definition you are not a grateful human being,” Prager notes, adding that the sense of victimhood actively inhibits happiness because to the extent that you allow yourself to enjoy what you have, you undercut your vision of yourself as a victim.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/coming-soon-episode-7-hurdles-to-happiness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Episode 7: Hurdles to Happiness</a></h4>
Prager also points out that many of the loudest ‘victims’ in our culture are some of the most privileged people to walk the earth — full-time students at prestigious universities, who enjoy all the luxuries of modern life and have been given years to pursue their chosen interests without needing to enter the workforce.
Prager also argues that even for people who have suffered horrific abuses, a victimhood-centered mindset is still stultifying and unproductive.
“You choose whether or not you see yourself as a victim,” Prager says, noting that for most people throughout most of human history, life was extraordinarily hard. Even so, in the face of war and famine, and plague, many people have worked hard and cherished whatever fortune came their way, living happy and meaningful lives. “You are not necessarily objectively a victim, you have chosen to regard yourself as such.”
Prager says that people should temper their expectations, because if you expect something to happen you don&#8217;t appreciate it when it does – you become indignant when it doesn’t. For instance, the people who most appreciate the blessings of good health are those who have suffered from a serious illness: people who have been healthy all their lives and consider it a given. In virtually every home in America the lights turn on and our toilets flush at the mere press of a button; that is only true because of the hard work of countless scientists, engineers, electricians, plumbers, and an entire societies’ infrastructure, yet most of us go years with without spending even a second appreciating those small miracles.
“I expect virtually nothing, so that everything I get I am grateful for,” Prager said.
Prager also advised against comparing yourself to other people or getting too attached to certain visions of how the world should be. While being inspired to better yourself is a positive thing, life will rarely unfold exactly as you envisioned it, and people’s lives are rarely as rosy as our superficial judgments of them may be. It’s better to appreciate your successes rather than obsess over your failures or denigrate your accomplishments against those of other people.
“Looking around thinking how lucky you are, that’s the mother of gratitude, and gratitude is the mother of happiness.
“I am not simply convinced that the ideas in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/coming-soon-episode-7-hurdles-to-happiness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this episode</a> will change people&#8217;s lives, I know they will,” Prager says. “I can tell you what works, you choose whether to use it.”

PU MP Episode 7 (1)

‘Hurdles To Happiness’: PragerU Master’s Program Episode 7 Now Available On DailyWire+

The second volume of Prager University’s Master&#8217;s Program is coming to DailyWire+.
The series, hosted by Dennis Prager, founder of PragerU, offers a deep dive into several of the most pressing issues facing the United States, exploring central facets of the human condition.
The newest episode, ‘<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/episode-6-part-2-differences-between-the-left-and-the-right-part-ii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Differences Between the Left and The Right, Part II</a>’, builds off of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/episode-5-differences-between-the-left-and-the-right-part-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Volume 1 finale</a> by discussing the rival positions that dominate our national discourse and the massive philosophical gap between them.
“You often hear ‘that which unites us is greater than that which divides us,’ which just isn’t true,” Prager said. “It might have been true 100 years ago, but it is not true today.”
While some people hold a mixture of conservative and progressive viewpoints, Prager argues that in our increasingly polarized society, more and more people have been drawn into incompatible ideological camps, which have coalesced around respect for tradition, individualism and local autonomy on the one hand and relativism, collectivism and centralized control on the other.
“Not every conservative holds every conservative position. Not everyone on the Left holds every left-wing position,” Prager notes, “but it applies to the great majority of people.”
<h2>The Place Of Religion And God In Society</h2>
Prager argues that the Left wants religion to be a totally private matter with no influence in the public square, but the Right wants a religious society that promotes shared values — specifically Judeo-Christian values — while having a secular government.
“That which society’s values rely upon is religion,” George Washington said in his farewell address.
Prager notes that while not all the Founding Fathers were Christians, they all acknowledged the importance of the biblical tradition to American culture.
“The role of the Bible in American life has no peer,” Prager said. “It was the central text, it was how you taught children values.”
<h4><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></h4>
<h2>The Worth Of The Human Fetus</h2>
Prager argues that on the contentious issue of abortion, the central issue is not even one of policy, but of basic reality — the Left and the Right cannot agree on whether or not a fetus in the womb is objectively a human being or if its personhood is arbitrary.
“On the Left… the human fetus has no intrinsic worth,” Prager says. “The mother determines 100% whether it is infinitely precious or worth nothing.”
Prager notes that if a gunman shoots an expecting mother and she loses the baby as a result, he can be charged with homicide, but if an abortionist kills the child at the mother’s request, it is often treated with all the moral significance of having a pimple popped — the fetus is only a person if the mother wants it to be.
Prager says that even by secular moral standards, that position makes no sense. The conservative position that the fetus is a human being and valuable in and of itself is an objective and consistent moral standard; while we may quibble over when in development a fetus becomes a person, whether or not terminating a pregnancy is murder is not a question that is subjective to individual whim.
<h2>American Exceptionalism</h2>
Prager says that the Left regards the idea that the United States is in some way special as misguided chauvinism at best, while the Right holds it as historical fact. For much of its history, the United States was the land of opportunity, and people around the world flocked to it to pursue their dreams and enjoy the freedom and prosperity that were unrivaled around the world.
“American exceptionalism is not a bragging right,” Prager said. “It is either true or not true.”
Furthermore, Prager argues that American Exceptionalism is not guaranteed, and that recently, the United States has become less free and less special — America’s national character was hard-won and must be safeguarded.

<h2>The Greatest Threat To The World</h2>
Prager notes that the Left often describes climate change as an ‘existential threat’ to human civilization, and one that justifies extreme measures to combat it. By contrast, while those on the Right generally accept that the planet is getting warmer, they don’t view it as a catastrophe, are skeptical of efforts to completely reshape the world economy, and view ‘green’ alternatives such as solar and wind as unreliable compared to fossil fuels or even nuclear power. The latter is especially telling because nuclear energy emits virtually no greenhouse gasses yet is typically overlooked or even scorned by environmental activists.
By contrast, the Right generally regards human evil as the supreme and ever present threat to mankind, and are skeptical of concentrating power in the hands of a ruling elite. They fear that those elites are corruptible and will leap from crisis to crisis in order to justify their continual use and abuse of power to the detriment of everyone around them.
<h2>Race</h2>
The Left believes that a person’s racial identity is of paramount importance, while conservatives believe that  individual character is paramount and that a person’s ancestry tells you nothing important about who they are.
“You know literally nothing about a person if you know their color,” Prager says, “so how can it be significant?”
In addition, Prager also analyzes differing attitudes towards guns, art, diversity, culture, morality, American history, justice, nationalism, and immigration, where the Left and Right hold similarly irreconcilable positions.
Episode 7, ‘Hurdles To Happiness’, which will be released on July 12th, explores the common obstacles people face to leading meaningful and fulfilling lives.
Episode 8, ‘Differences Between Men and Women’, which comes out on July 19th, explores the distinctions between the sexes and their complementary nature.
Episode 9, ‘The Case For Marriage’, slated for release on July 26th, argues for the necessity of traditional marriage for society and the individual.
The Volume Finale, ‘How To Be A Good Person’, examines the path to being an upstanding human being and living a virtuous life, and will become available on August 2nd.
The series will update on Wednesdays and can be viewed in its entirety on <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus?utm_campaign=dailywire&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=googlesearch&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;mid=g&amp;cid=dailywire&amp;xid=0&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwqZSlBhBwEiwAfoZUIPE8j1hQA4V1G8m7tPubDsn3p0kKx1beCQgz16yjjavExTBgZj4XRBoCvPAQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DailyWire+</a>.

While many people have heard of Judeo-Christian values, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/dennis-prager">Dennis Prager</a> believes few can articulate them, which he laments, because, in his words, “Judeo-Christian values are the moral foundation of Western Civilization.”
Prager argued that while Jews and Christians have differences in theology, they are fundamentally aligned on questions of moral values, which are more foundational to creating and maintaining a healthy society. Prager notes that most religious Jews, Catholics, Protestants, and Mormons are in agreement on basic propositions of right and wrong.
Prager also outlines a non-exhaustive list of those basic propositions.
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">There is one God.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">There are objective moral truths, rooted in God.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Good and Evil are the same for all people.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">God is the source of our rights.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The human being is created in the image of God.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The world is based on divine order; order rests on distinctions.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Man is not basically good.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">As human nature is not inherently good, natural inclinations are poor moral guides.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Human beings have free will.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> The Ten Commandments.</li>
</ol>
Prager argued that secular movements denying these tenets are prone to falling into moral and metaphysical relativism, where basic categories such as good and evil or man and woman become subjective and indeterminate, resulting in dysfunction, disorder, and misery.
Prager also highlighted the Ten Commandments of the Mosaic Law as a framework for a moral society.
“If everyone lived just by the Ten Commandments,” he said, “we wouldn&#8217;t need armies, or even police.” 

Prager also argued that the two religions need each other: The New Testament could not exist without the Old Testament, and many of Christianity&#8217;s core principles come from Judaism, but Christianity has spread those values to a far, far larger audience than Judaism.
Furthermore, Prager argued that the Judeo-Christian tradition is the bedrock of the American experiment.

“The ultimate embodiment of Judeo-Christian values has been the United States of America,” Prager said. “America’s founders were Christian, some culturally, some theologically, who were rooted in the Old Testament.”
Citing the cultural influence of Judeo-Christian tradition even on the non-Christian founders, Prager noted that <a href="https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Franklin/01-22-02-0330#:~:text=On%20July%204%2C%201776%2C%20Franklin,a%20version%20of%20his%20own.">Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson</a>, who described themselves as deists, proposed a national seal of the United States that depicted God leading the Israelites out of Egypt.

Episode 3: “Happiness is a Moral Obligation”
&#8220;The most effective argument for atheism is an unhappy religious person.” God made us to be happy, not unhappy. In episode three of PragerU Master’s Program, exclusively on DailyWire+, Dennis Prager makes a powerful argument for acting happy — even when we don’t feel happy. We not only owe it to God to be happy, we owe it to everyone in our life. Ultimately, we are not the product of our feelings but our behavior, and like our Founding Fathers said, &#8220;Happiness is something to pursue.”

Episode 5: Differences Between the Left and the Right, Part I
A common misconception often uttered by politicians is when it comes to being Left and Right, we have much more in common than where we differ. Dennis Prager shows in this two-part episode of PragerU Master’s Program that this could not be further from the truth. In fact, the gap between Right and Left is gigantic, permeating all levels of society. Watch as Dennis Prager gives twenty examples to illustrate this point as a helpful way to clarify and determine who you might side with.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and his panel of seven renowned scholars explore the purpose and importance of God’s laws, the meaning and limits of an “eye for an eye,” and what saying “no” really means in the newest episode of “Exodus,” streaming <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/exodus-episode-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now</a> on DailyWire+.
Peterson and company continue through their study and discussion of Exodus, the second book of the Bible and Torah, with this episode focusing on chapters 21 through 24. In the episode, they explore the significance of God’s laws in those chapters and how they establish moral order.
The panel discusses Exodus 21:23-24, which reads, “And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.” Dennis Prager, co-founder of PragerU, says that these verses are a “massive statement” in history, and he brings the topic of the nature of human evil to the conversation.
“I think it depends, to some degree, on the canniness of the interlocutor,” Peterson said of human evil. “I would say that if you’re going to entice someone malevolent back onto the path of proper being, you have to be as canny in your good as they are in their evil. That’s an echo of the notion that you should be as wise as a serpent, as harmless as a dove.”
“I don’t know what the limit to that is, because I’ve seen people in extreme situations walk the path so precisely that they could entice even someone hell-bent on malevolence out of that insistence,” Peterson continued.
Another topic Peterson and his panel discussed centered around the philosophy of punishment, what saying “no” means, and the consequences of doing something you were told not to, contributing to a broader conversation on moral order.
“‘No’ in the final analysis means if you do that, something you do not like will certainly happen to you,” Peterson said. “If that isn’t the promise behind your words when you say no, there’s no promise there at all.”
In the episode, Peterson is joined by social critic Os Guinness, Cambridge assistant professor James Orr, president of Ralston College Stephen Blackwood, president of Hillsdale College Larry Arnn, Christian thinker Jonathan Pageau, Dennis Prager, and Douglas Hedley, professor of philosophy of religion at Cambridge University. Select future episodes will include Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson And ‘Exodus’ Panel Discuss ‘An Eye For An Eye’ And Establishing Moral Order In New Episode

Bible

Readers of The Daily Wire will be pleased to learn that not every university professor supports suppressing the speech of those who challenge political orthodoxy on campus. A letter from some of our colleagues at Arizona State University, addressed to one of the college deans, has widely circulated internally in recent days, condemning an upcoming campus event on February 8 featuring Dennis Prager with additional remarks from Charlie Kirk. We emphatically disagree with the sentiments contained in that letter.
One of the many things that distinguishes ASU from other top universities is our administration’s embrace of intellectual diversity. ASU President Michael Crow has been especially vocal on this issue, <a href="https://president.asu.edu/statements/statement-from-asu-president-michael-m-crow-on-free-speech-civil-discourse-and-student" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urging</a> that “we can and should learn from perspectives different from our own.” In 2018, under President Crow’s leadership, ASU <a href="https://provost.asu.edu/adoption-chicago-statement-freedom-expression" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formally adopted</a> the Chicago Statement of Freedom of Expression, which states that “it is not the proper role of the University to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.” “[W]ithout a vibrant commitment to free and open inquiry,” the statement concludes, “a university ceases to be a university.”
President Crow’s commitment to intellectual diversity at ASU has been longstanding, including last year’s establishment of the Center for American Institutions, whose mission is fostering and renewing the nation’s political, economic, and social institutions, including religion and the family. Our speaker series in 2023 includes Katie Pavlich, Matt Walsh, Rosalind Ross (writer and director of &#8220;Father Stu&#8221;), Dr. Peter McCullough, Thomas Edsall, and Kimberley Strassel. Last year, we hosted Douglas Murray, James A. Lindsay, and Bret Weinstein.
Moreover, six years ago, President Crow launched the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership, which allowed for the appointment of faculty committed to a curriculum focused on the founding principles of American democracy and constitutionalism. He supported also the establishment of the T.W. Lewis Center for Personal Development, which is hosting the event now in question.
Though some ASU faculty have objected to these programs, students and Arizonans welcome hearing diverse views at a public university supported by their tuition fees and tax dollars. University students should rigorously and openly examine a variety of viewpoints. Yet <a href="https://www.nas.org/blogs/article/partisan-registration-and-contributions-of-faculty-in-flagship-colleges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> after <a href="https://econjwatch.org/File+download/944/LangbertQuainKleinSept2016.pdf?mimetype=pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> shows that the political and ideological affiliation of faculty nationwide does not bear even a close resemblance to those of the American public writ large. 
Faculty letters like the one condemning Dennis Prager and Charlie Kirk reinforce campus conformity and function as a not-so-subtle way to intimidate and silence would-be dissenters among the faculty and student body. Many choose to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/07/opinion/campus-speech-cancel-culture.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">self-censor</a> out of fear of ostracization and even retribution. This is extraordinarily destructive to the free and open exchange of ideas.
The letter wildly describes Prager and Kirk as “two white nationalist provocateurs.” “Dennis Prager and Charlie Kirk are purveyors of hate who have publicly attacked women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, as well as the institutions of our democracy, including our public institutions of higher education,” the letter reads. “By platforming and legitimating their extreme anti-intellectual and anti-democratic views, [the college] will not be furthering the cause of democratic exchange at ASU, but undermining it in ways that could further marginalize the most vulnerable members of our community.”
In addition, while the letter states that students should “encounter a broad diversity of voices and viewpoints,” it is clear that among the ideas that are not to be tolerated are many mainline conservative or centrist viewpoints, including opinions supported by a majority of Americans.
The letter implies that any of the following views would render one unfit for speaking at a university:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Dissenting from radical gender ideology</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Questioning the official lockdown narrative during COVID</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Questioning the soundness and efficacy of Big Pharma research and shots</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Thinking that a mother and father in the home is ideal for a child</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Encouraging young people to get married and have children</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Objecting to the methods and solutions of the BLM organization</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Questioning the hyper-racialist ideology of “anti-racism”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Questioning the handling of particular elections (unless the wrong candidate wins, then it’s ok)</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Objecting to the exploitation and sacralization of January 6</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Challenging the presumption that in order to be happy and successful you MUST go to college</li>
</ul>
Such views, according to the letter, are “bigoted,” “anti-intellectual,” and “extreme.” The irony, of course, is that the most anti-intellectual position one could take is to demand a captive mind and universal conformity to a rigid and suffocating set of dogmatic precepts, and then to throw a fit if someone dare utter a contrary view. One need not agree with all or most of what Prager and Kirk believe in order to defend their opportunity to speak at a public institution and the opportunity of others to hear what they have to say.
“If liberty means anything at all,” said George Orwell, “it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
We are proud to research, teach, and serve at a university that champions free speech and open inquiry on campus, and we encourage ASU faculty of all views to publicly affirm their commitment to these cherished principles.
Lastly, a common strategy of anti-intellectuals is to label their opponents as having a phobia rather than dealing with the truth or falsity of their beliefs. Public debate allows both sides to be exposed to the light of reason. Those who oppose having heterodox speakers at ASU should be willing to defend their position in public debate. Professor <a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/843137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Owen Anderson</a>, philosophy, is putting out an open challenge for public debate about the necessity of a variety of viewpoints and values in the university.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As the elitists of the World Economic Forum wrap up their 2023 meeting of the tyrannical minds, intellectual powerhouse Dennis Prager inspires wisdom over wokeness in his new DailyWire+ series “THE MASTER&#8217;S PROGRAM WITH DENNIS PRAGER.”
Compliance with the plans pushed by Davos-attendee elitists requires the core pillars of woke ideology to remain intact, but as Prager points out in the 10-episode series, these pillars will only crumble like a house of cards. The series includes a systematic takedown of secularism and its role in creating the religion of woke, a dismantling of the destructive consequences leftist views and values have levied on society, and a deep exploration of human nature and happiness.
One of few conservatives with name recognition spanning every generation, Prager has changed millions of minds on hundreds of topics throughout his career as a nationally syndicated radio host, writer, and founder of the immensely successful PragerU, which boasts over 7 billion views. “THE MASTER&#8217;S PROGRAM” builds on the work of PragerU, diving deeper into history, culture, and the core tenets of what makes, and breaks, our society. 
 The political left presented wokeness as a means to societal improvement, happiness, and equality. What resulted instead was the decaying of family and community, skyrocketing rates of depression and anxiety, and increasingly difficult-to-overcome poverty levels amongst those broken families.
“THE MASTER&#8217;S PROGRAM WITH DENNIS PRAGER” doesn’t just diagnose the problem—viewers are living the problem every day in their schools, universities, workplaces and cities—it provides the roadmap to an alternative way of thinking and living, routed in traditional wisdom, and based on fundamental truths. 
 In 2020, The Daily Wire joined forces with Dennis Prager to expand the reach of PragerU’s culture-changing content. Now, Prager is going beyond five-minute videos, distilling his wisdom and experience into a series that will strengthen viewer’s minds and improve their lives.

‘A Catastrophe’: Dennis Prager Explores Secular Extremism In New Daily Wire+ Series

'A Catastrophe': Dennis Prager Explores Secular Extremism In New Daily Wire+ Series

The Daily Wire

One environmentalist is speaking out with his &#8220;confessions&#8221; of previously promoting the Left&#8217;s climate change agenda.
Brian Gitt, a former CEO of a green company, reflected on his journey in the latest <a href="https://www.prageru.com/video/confessions-of-an-environmentalist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PragerU 5-Minute Video,</a> &#8220;Confessions of an Environmentalist.&#8221;
&#8220;Just because you feel like you’re doing the right thing doesn’t mean you are. I have dedicated most of my life to protecting the environment,&#8221; Gitt said. &#8220;But I went about it the wrong way. I thought I was acting morally, protecting the well-being of people and the planet. In fact, I was harming both.&#8221;
Gitt believed that solar and wind power were the only hope of avoiding environmental catastrophe. He viewed fossil fuels as the enemy and wanted to keep the outdoors as &#8220;pristine as possible.&#8221;
He started a composting company, served as the executive director of a non-profit dedicated to green construction policies, and later led a consulting firm to make homes more energy efficient.
His firm won a multi-year, $60 million contract under the Obama administration as part of his efforts.
&#8220;I thought I was making a real difference in the world. I was surrounded by smart, successful, ambitious people who shared my beliefs and my heartfelt desire to change things. And my company had lots of money and lots of government support,&#8221; Gitt said.
&#8220;There was only one problem: our project to build more energy-efficient homes was an utter failure,&#8221; he confessed.
His hope to improve home energy was far too expensive for most families, even with government incentives. The government celebrated the efforts, but the results were not helping the environment.
As Gitt began to re-examine his environmental vision, he realized his situation was the symptom of &#8220;a much bigger problem.&#8221; He discovered that the trillions of dollars focused on climate change over the last two decades had only decreased fossil fuel dependence by three percentage points, calling it a pathetic return on investment.
Gitt concluded by providing five principles to help evaluate the best energy options to protect people and the planet.
They include reliability, affordability, security, scalability, and land use. His focus on land use is especially insightful, as he noted that the more land needed to produce energy, the more wildlife habitat is lost.
Gitt provided the example of a typical 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant. He said it needs little more than one square mile to operate. Solar farms need 75 times more land to produce the same amount of energy, and wind farms need 360 times more.
He&#8217;s still devoted to improving the planet, but Gitt argues that a new approach is needed to get results. Watch the full video below:
