Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
Dennis Prager 0:52
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?
Glenn Beck 1:09
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...
Dennis Prager 1:22
Whether or not Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson is an anti-Semite is a question I don't even get drawn into.
Glenn Beck 1:36
Dennis, my friend, it's so good to see you. So good to see you. It is completely mutual.
Unknown 1:44
Yeah. I have to ask, how are you feeling today?
Dennis Prager 1:50
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.
Glenn Beck 2:24
I tell you, Dennis, I've heard from friends that they are amazed every day they would come to your hospital room when you're in the hospital, and you would have this great attitude, and your attitude was, what choice do I have? I mean, I don't want to be miserable, and I don't know how you do that.
Dennis Prager 2:49
I'll tell you how I do it. I'm an extremely rational thinker. The title of my biblical commentary is The Rational Bible. If it doesn't make sense, I don't believe it. I reject it. So anyway, I realized from day one
Unknown 3:17
I had only three choices, death, depression, and or persevere. That's it. Really, there is no fourth alternative.
Dennis Prager 3:41
So I thought about that and I don't want to die and I don't want to be depressed. So I have to persevere. And I will say this. In my book on happiness, happiness is a serious problem.
Unknown 4:03
I have now vindicated everything I wrote. Mm-hmm. And now with much greater credibility, because having endured being paralyzed from the shoulders down, every person with terrible pain in their lives can take what I say very seriously.
Glenn Beck 4:44
You have always been an icon and a hero of mine, Dennis, and you have just grown in my eyes over the last year watching you, even to be a bigger giant. And thank you for your knowledge and your example through all the years.
Dennis Prager 5:05
Well, I want everybody to know that i was incredibly honored and grateful that you wrote you wrote the afterword afterward for my book coming out this week uh if there is no god the battle over who defines good and evil that's the book and it is
Glenn Beck 5:35
I don't mean to cut you off. It is just such a great book. It is. You can tell you are the tree to Charlie's apple. It's this great conversation between you and students.

How does Dennis Prager define good and evil without God?

Glenn Beck 5:48
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?
Unknown 6:01
Well, there are a million answers to that question.
Dennis Prager 6:06
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.
