Summary

Israel is an island of decency in a sea of moral corruption. Everyone knows this. But many are afraid to say it, cowered by the left into silence… Paul Krugman, NY Times columnist, lives in leftist fantasy world in which the left has very little influence over our institutions… Ohio governor Mike DeWine embarrassed himself and the Republican Party when he vetoed a bill banning transition surgery for minors… An Alaska senator goes back to his alma mater, Harvard, and is shocked at what he finds. Harvard continues to defend its morally bankrupt president. Dennis wishes them luck. The more discredited the Ivy League appears in the public eye, the better… Then, almost on cue, Claudine Gay, the Harvard president, resigns. She served only a short time, but managed to do a lot of damage. Dennis revisits a classic Prager theme. The most important question any society can ask is: how do we make good people? It sounds easy, but it’s very hard. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on May 30, 2023. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
