How are you, Dennis? How am I? That's a very complex question. If there is no God, then who determines good and evil? Or is there even good and evil?
Losing Charlie and then the diminishment of your voice, I know people have said, and I have said it too, why? Why, God? Why would you...
Whether or not Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson is an anti-Semite is a question I don't even get drawn into.
Dennis, my friend, it's so good to see you. So good to see you. It is completely mutual.
Yeah. I have to ask, how are you feeling today?
I could give you a few sentences or a book worth answer. I'm serious about that. I have a new mission in life, and that is to help people who have terrible pain in their lives, emotional, psychological, or physical, endure it and and even achieve happiness.

Chapter 2: How does Dennis Prager define good and evil without God?
So open, so honest. And I want to get into some of the things you talked about, but, but one of the things I think we should start with is what is God?
Well, there are a million answers to that question.
God is the only absolute in the universe of relativity. That's how I put it when I was in England studying in my junior year, and my roommate, an English kid like me, was a physics major, a physics major. and uh he he he thought that belief in god is nonsense so he said so dennis what is god and i said god is the only absolute in the universe of relativity and his response was awesome he said oh
He didn't expect that a guy who believed in God could even utter a multi-syllabic word, let alone give him an answer like that. But anyway, but that is the truth.
If there is no God... which is the name of the book, if there is no God, then who determines good and evil?
Or is there even good and evil? There isn't good and evil. There are just opinions about it. I've been asking for 50 years. I have been asking high school and college students who have a dog, if they would save their dog that they love or a stranger first if both were drowning in virtually every instance across ethnic groups, across racial groups, across religious groups even.
the same exact answers. One third the stranger, one third the dog, and one third didn't know. So two thirds of Americans for 50 years, I could pretty positively say two thirds of Americans would not save the stranger. And that's what set me off on this.
The reason I would save the stranger before the dogs I own and love is because that is the biblical demand, because we are created in the image of God, and animals are not. Otherwise, I would vote along with the student. And I would think that, Hey, I love my dog. I have a relationship with him and I have no relationship with the stranger. So that's what set me off in this direction.
So I love this part of the book because they, they have so many followup questions and you're, you're so good at the followup and having them think it through. Um, but that is, that's,

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Judeo-Christian values in society?
Of the, the trans shooters, the Rhode Island, the trans shooters, and everybody is saying it's the gun, it's the gun. And, you know, being trans had nothing to do with it. And I think Dennis, we are, We are not considering mental health. We are ignoring people who need mental health. And we're only making it worse because I think of what you're saying.
Everybody is good just because they're different. It doesn't mean that they're, you know, mentally ill or whatever. Well, sometimes it does, doesn't it?
Well, obviously that is true. Sometimes it's, They are not blamed, obviously.
Let me just say, by the way, as the stepfather, my wife's oldest son, who is 42 now, is autistic and lives with us because he can't live on his own. He knows right and wrong better than most Harvard graduates. This notion that the mentally ill do not know that murder is wrong, I don't accept that. So even that's the case of blaming something else.
Sure, we need more mental health programs, but again, Their values are as important as the values of the non-mentally ill.
So how do you have values? How do you know it's wrong if you've never been taught anything?
Are you born with this? That's right. That's the point. You don't know...
right or wrong, you only have opinions. I had Jewish kids 50 years ago. When I was their age, I would have, or a little older than them, I would have them saying that only in their view, in their opinion, were the Nazis evil. But you can't really say they were evil because it's an opinion.
That's exactly where we are right now.

Chapter 4: How does Dennis Prager address the issue of happiness?
How do you know when to step in? How do you know?
You... The biggest question is, will it work?
And is there moral justification for doing it? Tucker Carlson said years ago that anyone who defended the Hiroshima bombing is evil, is evil. I wrote a column. This is well before October 7th.
I wrote a column against Tucker Carlson's worldview.
But that's his view. It's a perfect example of the opinion view.
And... And so your opinion would be if because that saved more lives than it took and it ended the war, it was justified.
That's exactly right.
Yes.
I just have to tell you, Dennis, your voice is so important. This book is so good, so important. And I...

Chapter 5: What are the implications of raising 'well-loved barbarians'?
When people start to think irrationally, bad things happen.
And that's what the... It's almost Nietzsche's warning for a society that doesn't believe in God, they'll believe anything.
Oh, well, yeah, the greatest quote on that It's attributed to Chesterfield. Chesterton. Yeah, Chesterfield was a cigarette.
And a couch, you might say.
I never thought of that. And the quote, it's not actually from him, but it's attributed to him.
And that is... When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing. They believe in anything. Yes.
Let me take you back to the book, and you were just talking about capital punishment. Capital punishment can an unjust society...
deliver justice in capital punishment? Yeah, it can, but only if it doesn't provide either witnesses or DNA. I mean, that's why the Bible in Exodus says, says that the person shall be put to death, the murderer, by the accounts of two witnesses. Otherwise, we today have witnesses.
We have witnesses in the chemistry lab

Dennis, we're looking at a time where people are not sure about God.
God is so... I believe God's the only answer. Return to God. And we're starting to see things that I never thought we would see in America. I'm seeing people talk about our society in the West as a Christian nation. And we are a Christian nation. But more importantly, we are a Judeo-Christian nation.
Can you explain what the difference is and why it is important for every American to always state Judeo-Christian nation?
Glenn, God bless you for asking that question. I intend to write a major piece on that issue.
Good. There is no Christianity, there is no Christ without the Judeo.
Jesus was a Jew, and as I tell my Christian friends, Jesus never read the New Testament. Jesus was a Jew. The gospel writers were Jews.
The apostles were Jews. Paul was a Jew. All the ideas that Christians use to validate their faith are based on the Jewish Bible.
So there's no Christian without Judeo. And the Judeo would not be known in the world without the Christian. The reason people know about the Ten Commandments all over the world is because Christians publicized it. We need each other tremendously, and I believe there's a divine role for both.

Chapter 7: What role does God play in defining morality according to Prager?
When rain falls, it brings forth beautiful flowers and poisonous weeds. That's a very important point. Christians put it that the devil quotes scripture, right? Or can quote scripture. Judeo-Christian religions. do not produce, do not necessarily produce good people.
You have to emphasize that God wants you to be good.
As Micah puts it, the prophet Micah, in the name of God, has God not told you all that he demands from you? That's all that he demands from you. Be righteous, love justice, and walk humbly with your God.
God demands, first and foremost, that we be good.
And if that is not taught, you're not going to get a lot of good.
And when Candace Owens describes only one country on earth as demonic, and it's the one Jewish country on earth, whatever label you assign to it, it's the opposite of John Adams.
John Adams said, the, I'm paraphrasing, all the good that Western civilization has brought forth was thanks to the Hebrews. And that's what people, that's what Christians who were true to Christianity
believe and advocate.
That's why it's Judeo-Christian to get back to that point. But there is a strain of Christendom that is anti-Semitic.

Chapter 8: What is the message Dennis wants to share through his book?
It could be pre-ordered at Amazon. And you will also get the benefit of Glenn Beck's afterword.
Well, it is a really important book, and I do hope people read it. I read it, and it is fabulous, Dennis. It's really good. Thank you so much. What a different interview. When Don Imus was at the end of his life, and he was in the hospital, and he had tubes and everything else running into him, he sent me a picture of him in the hospital looking just horrible.
And the only thing the text said, this is one of the last texts I got from him, the only thing it said was, at least I'm not fat like you. So it's nice to have a conversation.
And I've lost 40 pounds. I know. You look good. You actually look really good. Yeah, yeah. Well, God bless you, my friend.
Just a reminder, I'd love you to rate and subscribe to the podcast and pass this on to a friend so it can be discovered by other people.
