Summary

Dennis and Julie explore what the incentive to work hard in America is? People are afraid to share opinions for fear of being cancelled or publicly humiliated. Dennis shares part of his upcoming Rational Bible: Numbers …choosing people based on merit. A society does not move forward without rewarding merit. Can you define the Left… what does the Left stand for… no… what do they stand against? Topics include: the divinity of the Torah; civilization versus anti-civilization; takeaways from Dennis’ trip; hope, change, and fundamental transformation; modern art; forms of theft… one’s time and one’s thought; in person is inherently better than video; does being authentic come naturally ..or do you have to work at it… publicly or in real life; The amount of technology/major events one can live through in the span of their life; conspiracy theories; the JFK assassination; Who Prospers: How Cultural Values Shape Economic And Political Success by Lawrence E Harrison.

0:00.0	Well, hello, everybody. It's Dennis and Julie. I'm Dennis, and that's Julie. Dennis Prager,
0:25.7	Julie Hartman. You know that there were people in different parts of the world who told me that they
0:32.8	watched Dennis and Julie. I just came back as you know from Romania and Bulgaria and Serbia and
0:38.7	Croatia and Hungary and Poland. And that one was a new country, as that said. I can't add to my
0:45.8	list. But you observed a lot that was different as you wrote in your column. Yes, no, it was,
0:52.0	there's a lot to say about that. I will just say, for a moment, Julie, the to reflect on this
1:00.1	as much as I've traveled 131 countries, nothing I'm counting. But it's the one, the only
1:06.5	brag that I inject on any occasion I can. But what is still remarkable to me is that Monday night,
1:18.2	I let gave a lecture in the Romanian parliament, not to the parliament. They were parliamentarians
1:24.3	there, but I always want to make that clear. Truth is important, but it was in the parliament building.

1:57.0	very cognizant of it. But my, of course, my comment was not about me. It was about the age of the
2:02.7	jet. I do wonder, do you think anybody imagined this 200 years ago and before that? I think about
2:12.6	that so much. I don't think so. You do think about it all the time. Oh, yeah. Well, what a time
2:19.2	to be alive. I mean, what a time to be alive in a good way and in a bad way. But if you think about
2:24.7	it for thousands and thousands and thousands of years of human history, you lived no different than
