Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
What a wondeful human being, from a Scottish Protestant in Sofia, Bulgaria. Wish I had met you when you were here. Thank you for speaking to me.
I am so grateful that I found Mr. Dennis Prager.
It just crossed my mind how long it has been .... I pledged Allegiance to the flag of United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and Justice for All. I used to recite that 5 days a week and never gave it much thought but today and recently I give it a lot more thought than I used to and it means a whole lot more to me than it used to hope it means alot to you
Today is the first day I have ever listened to this man. Spent all day listening to him. Delightful!!
Welcome to the wisdom of Dennis Prager.
I’m a millennial that often gets into arguments about where millennials went wrong. Many people point to boomers, and for the longest time I felt they were correct. In retrospect, I was in error. It wasn’t the boomers that went off the rails with Gen X, it was the greatest generation that failed the boomers.
I, like many, held the greatest generation in awe. My great-grandfather gave his life in northern France fighting the Nazis. Many of my great-grandparent’s cousins, brothers, and uncles fought, bled, and died in the war. They told me and my brothers about how hard the depression was, what people had to do to survive. My grandmother’s father worked for a dime an hour carrying coal miles and miles to deliver to homes. Imagine it, carry 100 pounds of coal for 10 miles a day. I thought they were supermen and superwomen.
But they were not perfect. They desperately wanted their kids to never have to die fighting or carrying coal for a living. So they spoiled them. They didn’t want to make any impositions on their kids. Go to church? Only if you want to. I’ll buy you whatever you want. Work as a kid to help the family? Nah, enjoy yourself.
That likely seemed very noble. But it planted the seeds of what we’ve got now. My own children work around the house to learn a work ethic. They go to church as long as they live in my home. My wife and I do everything we can to instill our values in them. I pray it is enough to prepare them, because the way it is going, they will face challenges not seen in this country for almost 75 years.
Isn’t forcing your children to go to church antithetical to your religion?
@@Joerules Not at all. They’re children. There are many things I make them do or prevent them from doing that would be immoral to do to an adult.
When they are adults and living out of my home, they’ll be free to do as they please. I intend to give them the best chance for happiness and fulfillment.

Dennis is a trusted , honest man of faith , &tru
George Orwell - "The further the world drifts away from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it".
@Nicolq Roberts I am also British and live on the Wirral. My sister and brother-in-law live in Surrey. The increasing polarisation of British politics is now very apparent was clearly demonstrated by the recent MEP elections. This is increasingly becoming a North/ South divide. There are obviously many individual anomalies (you are one), but the general populations of London and the Home counties really are now living in an alternative universe to the rest of the UK. This is personally brought home to me starkly whenever my sister's family visits me here in the NW of England. They are staunch Remainers, and very much part of that group that is colloquially referred to as "the chattering classes". I am the opposite. We have agreed to stay off the subject of politics because the ideological divide between us has become so enormous it always descends into unpleasantness. That is the way of the world at the moment. The ideals of the modern left are now unequivocally that of the far left. Frightening and sad.
peterc the main stream media doesnt have that much control
@Ted Pert >> Saying "kommies" would be telling the truth.
@StooleNad >> MSM isn't about control. It's about being stuck in the prevailing ideology. They come from the humanities in Academia, as do lawyers, teachers, professors, politicians, sociologists, etc...And the prominent intellectuals in Academia are anti-American.
@Nickij71 Robo >> I'm from Canada whose roots are from the UK. I've been observing the deterioration you speak of. Dismaying in light of how great Great Britain was for many centuries. I recall Churchill's Britain, even Thatcher. I hope that your Emerald Isle, as Shakespeare called it, finds its way back again. If westerners "are depressed sad and feel hopeless and helpless at what's going on" the ideological enemies win. There is a lot wrong, but the true goal is to find out what are the alternatives to combat this. There are some terrific books that provide ammunition: Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning),Paul Johnson (English historian), Ayn Rand, Thomas Sowell, and many others. It's vital to identify the problems and more vital to find alternative solutions. This gives us rich inner resources to carry on.
Thank God that people like Mr Prager (J. B. Peterson, D. Rubin, C. Owen, K. Strassel, etc...) still exist to stop the insanity... I promise to be part of the legacy. Please join us !
Dennis Prager doesn't know me, but he has spoken to me more than most of the men in my family through his radio show and redirected me from a life of violence and destruction to a life of education, faith and love. Dennis may never read this but I hope he does. Thanks Dennis.
Same here since 99.99 percent of the men in my family were/are DemoCRAPS
My one son followed me out of that swamp years ago.
" redirected me from a life of violence and destruction to a life of education, faith and love."
Very good. I hope youve kept it up over the years, all the best.
Grendel Prime, I am so happy and proud of you. Your comment has struck a cord in me. My convoluted life has been influenced by the great man, Dennis Prager too. Divine Intervention, one radio show or Fireside chat at a time.
Peace be with you.
Dennis may never have read it, but you have inspired others with the knowledge it is possible to walk a different path than the one learned in childhood.
Thank you Hillsdale for sharing Dennis Prager's talk on U.S.❤
Deranged Progressives need exposure. How horrifying.
David Rapalyea ..odd given that it’s you cons/confederates/conservatives who cry bombs and bullets in schools and places of worship...
Mr Prager is amazing - I've heard him for years on the radio - but he is totally delightful to watch .
Mr Prager is a monster. You are on the wrong side of history.
@@lsx1348 oh God, that is some horrible trolling, I highly suggest the book "trolling for dummies" you need it
All of the comments are hate speech!
well said. i never knew he's a jew because he's so conservative and never sided with any specific religions.
Thank you Hillsdale College & Dennis Prager! Excellent!
The excellent Dennis Prager is responding here as though a fire were lit beneath him. He is right to do so, as we all should be. Tomorrow is no time to stand up, fight, and study to be better prepared. God bless America, D Prager, D Trump, and all of us fighters. Today, and not tomorrow, for it will be too late.
Prager is a Jew. I'm a Christian, I agree on all of itbut unconditional love. He might say you can dislike your children. The "clarity" he seeks in debate is that I believe you can be annoyed by your children and still love them without the slightest contradiction. Ideally, we can do similarly with others. I agree about "earning" respect and admiration; not love.
I understand your point but I think that the concept of unconditional love is restricted to our relationship with God. The extension of it to human relations is questionable.
Unconditional love isn’t altogether possible among humans. We love but often with demands. Even with our spouse or children. God loves unconditionally, and that becomes our highest goal: to love one another the way God loves us.
"It's a blessing I get bored so easily, you're the beneficiary of it" I love this quote. Thank you Mr. Prager, great talk.
"If everyone is fair then nothing is equal. If everyone is equal, then nothing is fair."
jfsfrnd Heard Jordan Peterson say it but unsure if that's a #JBP original or ?
Prager is an easily understandable genius. Goes to the core of things and is not afraid of telling the truth. A national treasure.
Thank you Hillsdale. Thank GOD for Dennis Prager! May we all be granted courage and these words of Truth to speak at every opportunity.
I download the videos, convert them to MP3 and then put them on a flash drive. Then I listen to them while I'm on my paper route. Makes it go faster and I may as well learn something while I'm working. I get sick of music (One classic rock song after another and I can't get into most new music) after awhile to be honest. These broadcasts need to be on the radio somewhere. Not everyone has the capability of converting them the way I do. Not all radios are MP3 compatible for one thing
I have enjoyed Prager University, but in this speech I came to know Dennis Prager the man, and he is a forthright, courageous, and lovable human being. I am so glad I watched . Thank you Hillsdale!
God Bless we all need to hear this we are ready to stand up for God and country Amen
Dennis is not only insightful and witty but has an amazing sense of humor
@elitemathlete Dennis loves himself and loves to rake in the bucks by attacking "the left".
@@timmyinthewell1 What's wrong with killing two birds at once.🤣💋
@@thomasredxjackson6906 Nothing is wrong with it. People make money by lying and stoking hatred and divisiveness everyday. I'm sure it's a great way to make a living - people just love having their prejudices reinforced. But I'd never call Dennis insightful and witty. Also he breaks the 10 commandments ( which he claims are his morality lodestar) every time he lumps everyone on "the left" into one big monolithic group. That's bearing false witness and lying. So you can add colossal HYPOCRITE to Dennis's list of qualities.
@@timmyinthewell1 so devicive is calling people who want to destroy freedom and segregate races evil?
@@timmyinthewell1 as a liberal, I totally agree it's evil, if that hurts, then so be it
Dennis is a wonderful human with incalculable value. Freedom and liberty also has incalculable value.
WOW, that was a great speech. I'd have to hit replay.
I'm (pretty much) the token white guy in my neighborhood. I keep telling people in (political) conversations..."I may be be the most conservative person, you'll meet this year, but I'm in the top 5%. So I tell you when it comes to Race...We...Don't...Care. I matters only slightly more than if you are left or right handed."
There are 2 groups of people who care about Race KKK/White Supremacists & Progressives/Democrats.
@Steven Wuederholt Is there a difference!?
@@annemouse6788
EXACTLY!
Well done Hillsdale College! Wish I was young again
Dennis, you are such a pleasure to listen to and an American treasure. Keep up the good work!
Every time this man speaks he hits it right on the head. It is astounding!
I agree. Him and dinesh D'Souza are both so good at simplifying complicated issues.
Wow Dennis friggin nailed it. My parents gave me everything they didn't have, but didn't give me everything they had. Dude that should be written in stone!
I’m in
Love Dennis and Dr. Larry Arnn. I meet Dr. Arnn at the church where I was the music director in Upland, CA.
Many brilliant patriots in California.I listen/read Dr. Arnn's writibgs as well as Dr. Victor Hansen's
Was your church located inside a kfc? :)
I laughed aloud when he linked Obama's line with the idea of a man wanting to: "Fundementally transform [his] wife."
I doubt Obama ever can but that's becasue he chose that thing.
Micheal transformed himself
I love listening to Mr. Prager. Thank you.
A hard talk. Especially in the beginning.
Alot of truth. Take it to heart.
I wish there were so many more “toxic men” who had the courage to SPEAK THE TRUTH LOUDLY AND CLEARLY, as you have today. Thank you.
Thank you Dennis Prager
One of the best presentations about what America is all about I have ever heard. I have shared this on Twitter. Its something many Americans need to hear.
The levity he brings to bear upon serious subjects is unparalleled.
This was a phenomenal speech, and kudos to Dennis for offering it. I usually like his efforts, and I have mad respect for him, standing against the corruption in our current culture.
One of the finest speeches on values that I've ever heard!
This man makes me wish I was American.
So glad this got posted. Can't wait to hear Dennis.
As many talks as Dennis gives around the country we definitely do not see enough of them on CZcams. His radio show used to be posted here also but for the last few months, even that disappeared. I don't know if that is done do to copyrights claim or the poster stopped posting them voluntarily. It's certainly good to see a new one with Dennis.
@@vadimbellous8313 youtube/google has been censoring him and other conservative voices for a while now.
This man is interesting as well as having a great sense of humor............3 cheers for LIBERTY and FREEDOM
And an intellectual who trumps the LEFTIST intellectuals and gives thenm a run for all they got which is pretty much NOTHING.
As usual, Dennis is brilliant!
So powerful!
Just at the closing “He has courage”
So true
Absolutely love Hillsdale!
The college is a reich wing scam... pick any topic related to their ideology and I’ll debunk it handily...
@@72marshflower15 Compared to all the public supported colleges in the US indoctrinating millions of students (future leaders) Hillsdale is a fresh breath of air. Wish I was young again.
@@soniag4516 the only problem with public schools is the propensity for conservatives to privatize them. Not only have corporations infiltrated every aspect of schooling, from food, to clothing, but corporations that serve the capital establishment, a conservative entity, wrote the books that red, white and brainwashed everyone to begin with...
Social programs should never be privatized. Liberal devices should never be helmed by conservative entities..
Intelligence is collective ie liberal in nature... it's why conservatives incite riots at colleges or simply shoot them up...
Hillsdale is vapid and mentally debasing... nothing in the videos I've seen go in depth to any appreciable degree...
Hillsdale is a Reich wing indoctrination center and that is all...
72marshflower15 your comments are the reason thumbs down counts should be visible. It would provide you with an excellent "reality check" to balance your confirmation bias with a healthy dose of cognitive dissonance. 💫🔥🌱♻️🕯
psssst,@@soniag4516 , you're arguing with the wrong person
I love you, Dennis!! Thank you for sharing so generously, from your heart and mind!! ❤😊
Mesmerizing! Dennis Prager is a brilliant speech giver.
Dennis Prager is a genius and one of the greatest thinkers, and even better, greatest lecturer we have.
Check out Victor Davis Hansen
You never did business with Prager! When I was at Inacomp, he defaulted on his computer leases. He told Inacomp not to file bad credit reports on him, or he would bad-mouth Inacomp on his radio show, and wanted them to agree to a non-disclosure agreement. I refused to sign it, but other officers in the company did. I agreed not to state or post anything about it, while I was there. I informed my counter parts at Businessland and Computerland.
Mr.Prager is a Godsend!
EXCELLENT!
Good choice we were in Alaska where my husband worked as a Wildlife Biologist for 6 months in 2009 April-November). That was the first time we heard of the Delta Smelt.which is a joke in our house. Yes that long ago Thank you for a great talk!
Mr Prager says we do not have to agree just be clear. It is a pleasure to hear him speak
Great lecture, by a truly great man. I so appreciate Dennis Prager and his highlighting the greatness of Western Civilization, on all its levels; from ethics to art to science to religion.
Dennis Prager is a gift from God! He walks in God's LIGHT!
Dennis is a man who once had dark hair.
I would vote for Dennis in a heartbeat. but am in Canada so.... yeah
Cheers to 100 Hillsdale colleges!
If only this talk could be heard by everyone here in the UK. In Britain the cancer of leftism and political correctness - feminism, multi-culturalism, homosexual and trans-rights, aggressive secularism - has left my country in intensive care.
peterc yes and Winston Churchill would not be welcome there now.
What did you say?
Prager is a benign monster, join him. It means nothing until it means something!
He is “screaming” at us... it’s the kindest, most peaceful screaming I’ve ever heard, but it’s screaming, nonetheless and as loud as I’ve ever heard it... rightfully so, anyone listening?
Thank you Hillsdale and thank you Dennis Prager and thank God for America .
Mr. Prager's point about people preferring safety to freedom is certainly true. But that point is actually a critique of conservative thought, because conservative thought is a retreat into the safety of well-established thought patterns.
My great uncle was judge of the 12th judicial district and my Great Aunt's son studied law under Uncle Stewart Hoover ,she was Anna Hoover. Her son Norman Arterburn became Indiana's Supreme Court Justice and 1st chief Justice. My father was George W. Hoover and Liberated a concentration camp with his men. He was also Tennis champ for Bicknell, Indiana winning Singles and doubles. Wish they could hear you! God Bless! Beverly J. Watson (Hoover) We are also cousins of President Herbert Hoover.
Love to hear intellectual speaker, honest funny and strong.
Never heard such a self-absorbed lecture…
Really enjoy these videos from Hillsdale but the sound is terrible! I am hoping someone will read this and do something to increase the sound of the speakers so I can hear them properly. Even cranked up to maximum volume I am struggling to hear. Thanks for looking into this! I look forward to future videos at a higher sound level.
Great speech Dennis! You make America proud!
What America? His Conservative values and love of Christianity are a joke. Clearly Dennis wants a nation of compliant, dumbed down sheep who love being exploited and oppressed?
Such a great guy. He's the most optimistic pessimistic person on earth.
Today we turn to cultural, spiritual leaders like Dennis Prager. We are truly in crisis.
I appreciate Dennis Prager.
This is easily one of the best speechees I've ever had the privilege to watch
What a great natural and humorous speaker
We need to make a social circle out of you alls websites. With ability to connect and comment and invite friends. Call it a conservative social
But incels are antisocial..
Just started listening to this gentleman today. The topic of his talks are so relevant I’m on my 2nd video. I’m open to most of what I’ve heard so far though I disagree with his statement at 24:00.He states the Bible doesn’t gives us any reason why God chose Abraham. The scene was set for Abram’s choosing during the time of Melchizedek. His actions of loyalty , trustworthiness and chivalry during this time was one that was greatly appreciated by God. There is much more to add yet for the sake of not writing an essay in the comments I’ll leave it here.
A truly great lecture. Learn from Dennis Prager and spread the word of American Greatness.
On this subject, I heartily recommend a track I discovered by accident (it appeared in my 'recommended' feed) by a British band called UNIT. The track is A Tribute To The Israeli Defence Force and it is excellent - tuneful and forceful without being bombastic combined with a lovely lyric. I know next to nothing about the group but on investigation I see they've recorded a whole batch of Jewish related tracks such as Pesach, Yom Kippur, Bar Mitzvah, Israel Is Real, The 613 Mitzvot and probably others I don’t know about yet. Some of them feature Rabbi Moshe Bryski which is definitely a recommendation in itself.
Prager is a force for good in out country. His brilliance, humor, and decency always shines through. Thanks, Dennis, for being a warrior for truth.
Just sad that he speaks so many many lies.
I LOVE your America Mr. Prager because that's the America my family migrated to and we found to everything we were told about except there is other things that we found out that weren't so hunky-dory however that is part and parcel of any society where humans live.
Clearly the rise of wisdom and philosophers hasn't yet extinct, but can rarely be seen as. The more wiser we are, the further towards our path of Glory and Victory! a famous quote from the bible inspired by David, "Say on, Dennis. Say on".
Dennis Prager is a breath of fresh air. He is open and direct on his positions. I love hearing him speak. I listen to his radio program for 3 hours just about every day. I have also been so impressed with Hillsdale College. One of the greatest university in the world. I wish my children could have attended.
Great messaging, America is a great place.
I’m a cradle Catholic, but I love Dennis Prager and Ben Shapiro! So much respect for these guys!
Im muslim and they both speak so well and coherently. I enjoy listening to them both.
Thank you for your love of country and for sharing your opinions.
Keep it up....good lecture
This is 3yrs old and as strong today as the day he sad it
What a GREAT MAN! 😎
God bless you Mr Prager. Wrapped it up very succinctly. Thank you sir. EARN IT!
One day in the near future God will humble the greatness of this country!
Dennis prager is the best!
Great man, great country
For what America is and America was, we do not know if the old America is the new America.
bless this man.
America is the greatest !!!!
What a great human being
Prager is absolutely correct
I'm a US naturalized citizen who loves this country and all its ideals. Dennis is a modern day prophet. Make America God fearing Again.
I love the US I wish I could live there
You probably can if you can get over here. Welcome!
Welcome to the land of the wage slave it's all lies
My mother and her family gave me religion the way to live the way to salvation the promises of God the Ten Commandments and the hope of Heaven and eternity
AMEN
Hopefully all the young people are watching on CZcams.
Thank you
