What kind of America did the Founding Fathers envision? Dennis Prager explores the bitter rivalry between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton with historian John Ferling, author of Jefferson and Hamilton: The Rivalry That Forged a Nation. Though both played crucial roles in the founding of the United States, they had radically different visions for the country’s future.

Dennis and Professor Ferling examine Hamilton’s enormous influence on the new nation, from his role in the Revolutionary War and the Federalist Papers to his work as George Washington’s Secretary of the Treasury, where he helped address the country’s enormous financial problems. They also discuss Hamilton’s infamous duel with Aaron Burr and the political rivalry that preceded it.

The conversation then turns to the fundamental disagreement between Jefferson and Hamilton. Hamilton favored a stronger central government and a more powerful national economy, while Jefferson emphasized individual liberty and the importance of the states. Dennis and Ferling also explore Jefferson’s complicated relationship with the French Revolution and what their competing visions reveal about the political debates that helped shape America.

What happens when men stop looking at women? Dennis Prager takes on a controversial question about male attraction and asks whether women really want men to stop noticing them “that way.” Dennis argues that attraction between men and women is natural and, when expressed respectfully, can be a healthy part of human relationships. At the same time, he draws an important distinction between noticing a woman’s attractiveness and staring, leering, or behaving in a way that makes her uncomfortable.

Dennis takes calls from men and women with very different perspectives. Some women say they enjoy being noticed and would actually miss that attention, while others find prolonged or overt attention uncomfortable. Dennis explores why these reactions differ and why he believes normal attraction should not automatically be treated as something shameful or inappropriate.

The conversation also turns to dating and the mistakes men make when expressing attraction. Dennis explains why there is a difference between letting a woman know you find her attractive and making her feel as though she is being judged solely on her appearance. He argues that understanding male sexual nature, while also developing the character and restraint to handle it appropriately, is essential to healthy relationships between men and women.

When should you seek to be loved—and when can the desire to be loved actually get in the way of doing what is right? Dennis Prager explores the different kinds of relationships in our lives and argues that there is an important distinction between horizontal relationships, such as friendships and marriage, and vertical relationships, such as parent and child, teacher and student, clergy and congregation, and leaders and those they lead.

Dennis explains why seeking love can be healthy and appropriate between equals, but can become destructive when it becomes the primary goal of a parent, teacher, religious leader, or political leader. When leaders become more concerned with being loved than with telling the truth or fulfilling their responsibilities, Dennis argues, they are more likely to compromise.

The discussion also examines what this means for parents, clergy, political leaders, and even our relationship with God. Ultimately, Dennis argues that love is important—but it has to know its proper place in our lives.
