In this opening monologue to the "Happiness Hour" of The Dennis Prager Show, Dennis Prager frames contemporary politics as a civil war between the Judeo‑Christian worldview and the political left, asserting that the two are fundamentally incompatible. He claims the left is a totalitarian force that seeks to dismantle religion, the "church of capitalism," and the "cult of self," describing it as anti‑joy and incapable of producing happy adherents. Prager attacks a New York Times columnist (unnamed) for a piece titled "How Bad the Single‑Family House Is," using the example to illustrate the left’s alleged hostility toward anything that brings joy. He emphasizes that while there can be happy liberals and conservatives, there are no happy leftists, urging listeners to recognize this reality as a prerequisite for being truly "woke." The segment serves as a politically charged prelude to a program that otherwise focuses on happiness.

Chapters

I care that you're clear about the ultimate battle in the world than what side you're on. There's the Judeo-Christian and then there's the left. They're incompatible. Get it? They're incompatible. Am I clear? That is the civil war of humanity. The left versus the Judeo-Christian worldview. Just be honest and clear. I prefer a leftist like her who acknowledges it to the self-deceiving who deny, oh no, that's not, oh, and other eloquent reactions to the point. The book argues that we need to dismantle religion and other overriding powers like the church of capitalism or the cult of self. That's why they're all totalitarian. The self is a cult to the left. There's an article by another truly moronic writer at the New York Times. The guy's an idiot. I'm sorry, I'm not going to say his name because I don't want to insult him, but he's a columnist at the New York Times. His latest is "How Bad the Single-Family House Is." That's now that anything that brings people joy, the left destroys. They're joyless. They're anti-joy. It's an astonishing thing. That is the ultimate political thing I say on this program is the opening to the Happiness Hour, which almost never has politics. The unhappy make the world worse. That is the subtitle for leftism. Are there any happy leftists? There are happy liberals. There are happy conservatives. There are no happy leftists. It is a dark, dark place. You have to awaken to that or you are not woke. Good one.
