Fireside Chat Ep. 160 — Cutting Out Family Over Politics 12.11.2020

Fireside Chat Ep. 159 — The Election: A Divided Nation 05.11.2020

The United States held a presidential election this week, and though the result is still yet to be determined, one thing is clear: Americans have very different values and views of the world.

Hatred of the Left https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/11/03/hatred_of_trump_vs_hatred_of_the_left_144589.html 5-Minute Video: Left or Liberal...

Fireside Chat Ep. 158 — Courage in the Face of a Mob 29.10.2020

Many Americans don't agree with the positions of the left, but they are afraid to be honest when confronted with questions.

Fireside Chat Ep. 157 — Addicted to Free 22.10.2020

Until COVID, we had been living in a golden age in America—and it's easy to take such a privileged life for granted. The unemployment rate had been at an all-time low (particularly for minorities). But Americans need to understand how important it is to earn your way through life, rather than be given everything. Dennis explains.

Fireside Chat Ep. 156 — When Childish Worldviews Take Over 15.10.2020

An outstanding conversation with Douglas Murray: How the left became so radical—the lack of debate, "anti-racism" training, corporate wokeness, critical race theory, and infantile thinking. Plus, some excellent advice for those afraid to speak their minds. Enjoy!

Fireside Chat Ep. 155 — Does COVID Dominate Your Life? 08.10.2020

Should a president incite fear or temper fear? The media have their opinion; Dennis has another. He also explains why “Follow the science” is not the same as “follow the scientist" in this latest Fireside Chat. Enjoy!

Fireside Chat Ep. 154 — A Society in Decline? 01.10.2020

2020's first Presidential debate showcased a striking departure in civility and sophistication. Is it a mirror of our society at large? Our modern culture does appear to confirm it: society is in decline.

Ep. 152 — A Marxist Takeover Would Destroy America 17.09.2020

How do you determine right from wrong, good from evil? Two perspectives are dominant: the Judeo-Christian view and the Leftist/Marxist approach. The first approach is the reason America has been such a remarkably good and decent society compared to all others—and Dennis explains why it remains crucial for maintaining a good society.

Fireside Chat Ep. 151 — Society Can't Fix Your Problems 10.09.2020

Character development was a primary focus in education until the 1960s. Now, children are taught to blame America or "society" for their problems. The great tragedy of this, of course, is that if you think society is to blame, why would you take any action to help yourself? 0:00 “Say Hi To Otto!” 1:14 A Guy’s Guy 2:20 A Religious Education’s Impact 4:08 An Interruption 4:45 What Should Be Your Big...

Fireside Chat Ep. 150 — Americans Chant "Death to America" 03.09.2020

Fireside Chat Ep. 149 — Why "Color-Blind" Is Actually "Anti-Racist" 27.08.2020

Judging a person by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin is what being "color-blind" means. The left, however, calls it racist. Dennis Prager explains why leftism is antithetical to justice and equality. 0:00 Otto, The Giver Of Peace 1:09 What “Color-blind” Really Means 3:03 What “Color-blind” Doesn’t Mean 4:26 Is Skin Color Really That Important? 8:30 How Far Left Is The...

Fireside Chat Ep. 148 — We Must Understand History To Value Liberty 20.08.2020

It is difficult to value liberty without a strong understanding of history. Because naturally, humans desire equality over liberty. Yet anytime a society strives for equality of result, it will necessarily sacrifice freedom. America's preference, Dennis explains, is that we are all equal before God and the law, and results are up to you. 0:00 Welcome Back Otto 2:13 Understand History, Liberty & Eq...

Ep. 147 — Teachers Admit They Want to Keep Parents in the Dark 14.08.2020

In a revealing new development, teachers openly lament that at-home learning allows parents to hear their lessons. Others agree that this is "dangerous," and say they need to be able to indoctrinate in a “parentless" way. As Dennis explains, severing parental authority is exactly what every cult must achieve. 0:00 Otto Had Surgery 3:15 Teachers Against Recording Lectures 6:05 Teachers Know It’s In...

Fireside Chat Ep. 146 — The Left Is Weaponizing Medicine 06.08.2020

Why is there so much hate and mockery around a single medication? Is there really no evidence of its efficacy? Dennis Prager has been following this politicized medication for months and provides scientific facts that the mainstream media attempts to suppress.

Fireside Chat Ep. 145 — Are You Really Anti-Racist? 31.07.2020

Young people are enamored with "anti-racist" rhetoric because they think they are fighting racist systems in America.

Fireside Chat Ep. 144 — Expect Chaos If You Defund the Police 23.07.2020

The difference between police and no police is the difference between order and chaos. This week is PragerU’s #backtheblue campaign and Dennis asks: What does defunding the police actually mean? What is the likely result? Sadly, we don't have to wonder.

Fireside Chat Ep. 142 — How to Defeat the "America Is Racist" Lie 09.07.2020

EVERYTHING and every kind of person and belief exist in America. That racists do exist here—just like they exist everywhere—says nothing about the country as a whole. Because this is so important: Here are Dennis Prager's 5 arguments against the biggest lie of our time—that America is a racist society.

Fireside Chat Ep. 141 — Do You Know How Special America Is? 02.07.2020

“We are witnessing one of the most irrational developments in the history of the world.” The left is a destructive force, raising an entire generation to think that this country is racist, misogynist, and imperialist. If America is so racist, why is it the most popular country for people to immigrate to? Did they not get the memo? This episode is sponsored by Thinkr.org. In our fast-paced world, i...

Fireside Chat Ep. 140 — Neither Blood nor Race Matters 25.06.2020

Are blood ties really the strongest/most important relationships? Many say yes, but think about this: family doesn’t have to be blood. Ultimately, the goal is to be color-blind/race-blind and blood-blind. Dennis explains. In our fast-paced world, it’s tough to make reading a priority. At least it used to be.

Fireside Chat Ep. 139 — A Conflict of Civilizations 18.06.2020

This is what happens when society enters an anti-religious and anti-rational age. Hysteria. On race, this should be the ideal: We are all American, living in a melting pot of racial integration. The left encourages just the opposite: segregation. Enjoy Dennis's thoughts on these weighty issues. In our fast-paced world, it’s tough to make reading a priority. At least it used to be.

Fireside Chat Ep. 138 — Pay Attention: Your Freedom Is Fragile 11.06.2020

Our society is rooted in freedom, yet "Freedom is never more than one generation away from distinction." We must conscientiously fight to preserve it amidst the destructive ideas of the left. This week, Dennis discusses how the protests are a sham based on the myth of systemic racism, and why defunding the police will do more harm to black communities. This episode is sponsored by the T. W. Lewis...

Fireside Chat Ep. 137 — The Issue Is Values, Not Systemic Racism 04.06.2020

Do you let your race, gender, or orientation define you? If you are on the left, everything is perceived through the lens of identity politics. Systemic racism is not the real issue plaguing America—it is our opposing values system. Dennis Prager offers some refreshing insight into how to heal our broken nation.

Fireside Chat Ep. 136 — Facebook Censors PragerU 28.05.2020

Facebook is going after PragerU! They claim to be an open forum, yet label content as "False Information" simply because their "fact-checkers" disagree with it (yet fail to prove is incorrect).
