Fireside Chat with Dennis Prager: Recent Episodes
PragerU
If religion is supposed to produce good people, how can we explain religious people who are bad? Can we judge an entire religion based on its flawed and imperfect believers? After all, religion is not magic. It’s not a silver bullet and it doesn’t automatically make you happy, holy, or good. But, Dennis argues, religion does make you a better person if you want to be a better person.
What does it mean when God says about Adam and Eve, “It is not good for the man to be alone”? Many people, including Christians who share the same faith, have different points of view. Dennis responds to a pastor’s critique and shares his thoughts about this whether God alone is sufficient.
Hurricane Hilary descended upon Southern California this week, as media hysteria and alerts of “life-threatening floods” sent residents into a panic. Nearly everyone complied with instructions to shelter in place, even though one look outside would have assured any rational person there was nothing to fear. Dennis discusses this perplexing behavior and asks why people trust the government and the media more than their own eyes.
A recent study from the CDC reports that suicide is at an all-time high. Dennis dives into the three explanations from “the experts” as to why this is and provides his own analysis of the real problems behind this troubling statistic.
A viewer in Africa writes a thoughtful and difficult question to Dennis: Why believe in a God that allows horrible things to happen? Watch to see how Dennis responds to the idea that an all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful God allows us to suffer without offering any help. His answers may surprise you and might even challenge your own understanding of God.
We have a lot to celebrate in this special 300th Fireside Chat! PragerU CEO Marissa Streit joins Dennis to share BIG NEWS: PragerU is now in schools as an official state-approved education vendor. We are working to bring PragerU’s free, turnkey lesson plans to classrooms nationwide. Mainstream media outlets are outraged over the news, and we’ve received an explosion of press. Find out what they're saying about us and hear how Dennis and Marissa respond. Then, go to PragerUkids.com and review our educational content for yourself to see if what the media says about us is true.
According to Pew Research Center, most Americans want the government to restrict free speech to limit “misinformation.” Dennis explores the dangers of this alarming trend in the U.S.—the freest country in the history of the world—especially when you consider who gets to define “misinformation.”
Now that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using the term “pregnant people” and denying one of the most basic and fundamental biological truths that women (not men) give birth, how can we trust the CDC about anything? Plus, Dennis answers viewers’ questions about dating, grief, and a perplexing verse of the Bible.
American society is producing children who are selfish, ungrateful, and lazy. Many adult children refuse to speak to their parents, most of whom are completely undeserving of such cruelty. Now, with the introduction of artificial intelligence, kids are cheating at school and depriving themselves of learning. Dennis examines these worsening problems in our culture and asks if knowing how to write an essay, use a camera, or drive a stick shift car will become lost arts of the past, as modern technology is making learning obsolete.
Days after the 4th of July, Dennis reflects on the meaning of patriotism at a time when we may not feel proud of the direction America is headed. Despite these feelings, however, we raise the flag for the values it represents—the American Trinity inscribed on every U.S. coin: Liberty, In God We Trust, and E Pluribus Unum. We must restore these values if America is to remain the last best hope of Earth.
This week, Dennis reads two very different letters: one from a fan who attributes Dennis with improving his life, the other from Arizona State University faculty, accusing Dennis of bigotry and hate. Sadly, many people who should hear what Dennis has to say never will because of false accusations like this, and that may be the biggest regret of his life.
Dennis recently visited Eastern Europe and instead of wanting to kiss the ground upon his return home (as he always had in the past), a different thought crossed his mind. With LGBTQ “pride” taking over American culture, we have lost an innocence in our society that is still present in other parts of the world. What can we learn from comparing our beloved America—the last best hope of Earth—to Europe today?
According to Biblical law, Jews are forbidden to hate Egyptians—the people who held them captive in slavery for centuries. What does this ancient rule have to teach us about oppression, “white privilege,” and racism in our culture today?
This week, Dennis reminds us you cannot have a rich life without pain. He then answers a difficult question about abortion, inspiring his wife to spontaneously share her personal experience of nearly aborting her son 13 weeks into the pregnancy. Don’t miss the powerful discussion in this unique Fireside Chat.
This month is LGBTQ Pride Month. But viewing people through the lens of sexual orientation, race, religion, or any group at all is not beneficial to society. The left demands that radical ideologies not only be tolerated but also celebrated. Long ago, Dennis learned there are only two groups of people in the world and it has influenced his life ever since.
Are you guilty of pride if you acknowledge your strengths? Dennis has been writing and speaking to large audiences for decades. His success has taught him valuable lessons about arrogance, humility, and self-esteem that we can all benefit from when it comes to examining ourselves.
A few weeks after the death of Dennis’s beloved bulldog Otto, his family welcomed a new pet into their home—welcome Mr. Tubz! Dennis reflects on moving on after the death of a dog, or for that matter, a spouse. Is there such a thing as moving on too quickly?
Dennis offers words of wisdom to live by, as he shares his three favorite verbs. Can you guess what they are? These three simple words have shifted Dennis’s entire outlook on life, and he explains how they can do the same for you.
Do you believe what is true? Or are your beliefs dictated by what you wish was true? Lies are the root of evil and truth is the mother of goodness. That’s why Dennis challenges us to be honest with ourselves and ask these difficult questions.
During a recent discussion with Jordan Peterson, Dennis made comments about porn that made the rounds on the Internet. During this week's Fireside Chat, Dennis provides clarity and addresses his stance on porn, lust, and adultery. He also reflects on the passing of our beloved Fireside Chat companion, Otto.
A Walmart was looted in Chicago. How many of the looters—mostly young black men—have fathers in the home or attended church the previous Sunday? Dennis believes there’s a crisis among young blacks in America and it’s not caused by poverty or lack of opportunity. He offers a simple—though controversial—solution: fathers in the home and a Father in Heaven.
Many young people yearn to be famous. But will it bring them happiness? Dennis shares his views on fame and takes your questions on religion, dating, and marriage.
For the first time in American history, a former president was indicted and arrested. Whether you like him or not, the implications for the future of our country are disastrous. Reading from his column, "Could It Happen Here? It Is Happening Here," Dennis explains why we should all be concerned.
Dennis addresses the tragic shooting at a Christian school in Nashville. Are guns the problem? Or is the real crisis today the death of God and religion, the lack of fathers, and the resulting rise of mental health issues?

Climate activist Greta Thunberg deleted a tweet from 2018 warning that humanity would be wiped out “unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.” Here we are, five years later, and the world didn’t end. If the “experts” were wrong about climate change, what else are they wrong about, and why are we still listening to them?
Life is difficult—that’s not a complaint; it’s just a fact. Once you understand that, the happier you’ll be. Parents do a disservice when they try to make life easier for their children. Instead, they should help their kids build up the strength to withstand life's difficulties (not feel oppressed at minor offenses).
Every tyrannical regime used fear to control its subjects—because that’s the only way people will willingly give up their freedom. And they do. It has happened throughout history and is now happening in the last place it ever should: America. Dennis offers advice and takes some of your questions.
This week marks one year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Many people (including some whom Dennis admires) criticize America’s involvement in the conflict. Dennis, always preferring clarity to agreement, unpacks common objections like helping a corrupt country and caring about Ukraine’s borders when we don’t protect our own. Hear what Dennis has to say.
Experts now say the COVID lockdowns and school shutdowns went too far. A new report from the CDC claims 1 in 3 teen girls are suicidal. Could these issues be related? It's no surprise to Dennis. After all, he always said, "the lockdowns are the greatest mistake in human history.” Experts at the CDC have advice for how to treat this mental health crisis, but should we listen to them or have they lost credibility?Donate today to help keep PragerU podcasts and videos free!

Thanksgiving is not a Christian holiday. It's not a Jewish holiday.

What kind of person is more likely to live in fear?

Dennis Prager got COVID, the internet imploded, hateful people mocked & celebrated, and unfortunately for them and the lying media, he made a very quick recovery. Here’s what happened.

EVERYTHING in life is a choice: Courage, happiness, religion, marriage, everything. The sooner you realize this, the happier your life will be.

Research has shown the damaging effects that Instagram and other social media platforms have on young girls and their developing self-esteem. Are social media companies (or parents) to blame? Should Congress intervene? Dennis offers a take that you probably won’t hear anywhere else.

This question runs through Dennis’s mind regularly: What kind of person would risk their lives to hide someone they don’t know? Dennis once asked a Jewish couple who had been hidden in Poland during the Holocaust—if they had hoped to be rescued/hidden, whose door would they knock on: a lawyer, a doctor, an artist, or a priest? The answer reveals something incredibly important about the future of this country.

In this week’s episode, Dennis worries about Americans losing their freedom… and their common sense. He also poses a challenging question: what happens when a society decides that security is more important than liberty?

America is more secular than ever before, that’s a fact. America is ALSO less free than ever before. Is there a correlation? How would you react if there was? Dennis has his thoughts. See if you agree.
As a result of the shocking decline of our educational system and culture, parents around the country are increasingly opting to homeschool. What are the primary challenges? Is it worth it? Is it the future? Dennis has an insightful conversation with some current and formerly homeschooled students. Enjoy!

Yeonmi Park, a North Korean defector, suffered unimaginable horror on her journey to freedom. Desperate from starvation and oppression, she managed to escape to China, but had been sold. Several years later, she escaped through the Gobi Desert into Mongolia and then finally to freedom in South Korea. Once at university in America, she recognized the same propaganda tactics of North Korea. She has an incredible story and we’re honored to bring it to you.
Dennis Prager is the most well-traveled person you know. It’s so important to him that he has traveled abroad every single year since the age of 20—2020 being the first year he couldn’t due to COVID travel restrictions. Now that restrictions have eased, Dennis revisited Hungary and several other Eastern European countries, and today reflects on Hungary’s nationalism and whether the criticism it receives is fair. Should you be proud of your nation? Is it dangerous or unifying?
Pulling our remaining 2,500 troops out of Afghanistan? Dennis was against it. And he was against it for the reasons we are now witnessing today. Also in the news: chaos, mandates, and tyranny in Australia. Dennis, as always, provides needed perspective and lessons from all of these events. This episode of the Fireside Chat was recorded before the tragic events that occurred on August 26, 2021.

It’s time to come to terms with the fact that the left is openly hostile toward the message and dream of MLK, Jr.—that a man be judged by his character rather than his skin color. Every modern human in possession of a clear and rational mind embraces the truth: character is everything.

Famine is a natural consequence of communism, so it’s no surprise this is happening in Cuba. And as usual, the media takes a dishonest spin on the protests. Even scarier is how likely it now seems to see similar protests for freedom here in America, eventually.

The pandemic has shown how much America has changed for the worse. Our American ancestors were incredibly courageous people but today, we live in fear—of illness, of our fellow neighbors, of intellectual diversity, of alternative ideas, of climate change, of dying from COVID. The world never stopped before because of a virus. How did Americans become conditioned to be so fearful?

Have Americans become so preoccupied with "safety" that they have welcomed tyranny? Dennis Prager weighs in on the balance between living life responsibly and living life fully in this Thanksgiving 2020 edition of Fireside Chat. Enjoy!
There is a cost of locking down the country, just as there is a cost of NOT locking it down. Every decision comes with a price, but in the case of coronavirus, too few are asking—or caring—what that is.

Dennis's column: Thoughts in a Dark Time — https://dennisprager.com/column/thoughts-in-a-dark-time/
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. Dennis explains.
Dennis’s column: Hatred of Trump Vs. Hatred of the Left https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/11/03/hatred_of_trump_vs_hatred_of_the_left_144589.html

Many Americans don't agree with the positions of the left, but they are afraid to be honest when confronted with questions. It's a very new, and very troubling problem in modern America — and Dennis offers his advice.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

“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?

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.

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.

Liberty and freedom are very rare in human history. The human instinct is not to yearn for liberty—humans yearn to be taken care of. Generally, by the government (socialism & communism).
America's founders knew that limited government and liberty are key to a free society—but we are now witnessing that as Americans become more secular, they value liberty much less.
