| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. Welcome to my home. This is the fireside chat. That's the fireside. I'm the chat and that's auto. |
| 0:07.0 | Auto is now, as I told you, I think America's most famous dog. In fact, he has international fame. |
| 0:13.0 | And it cracks me up. How many people at airports come over and either just say, give my regards to auto or will end their selfie with me with some comments about it. |
| 0:25.0 | If the guy is doing well, he's doing well. A lot of you are the man. You are definitely the man. |
| 0:31.0 | In case you had a hard day, auto is going to help you calm down. It is an amazing thing actually, the power of dogs. I admit it. |
| 0:43.0 | I'm not a fanatic on the pets, but I am realistic. They do give a lot to people. What do they say that the elderly live longer and more healthy? |
| 0:54.0 | If they are alone, in other words, they don't have a spouse, companion, family with them all the time, if they have a dog with them all the time. |
| 1:06.0 | And I understand that. It seems sort of like God made dogs for people and made us for the dogs. I do admit it is a two-way street. What would they do without us? |
| 1:18.0 | It is a very touching thing. Anyway, great to be with you. This is a chance for us to talk. To be honest, obviously, to know me better because none of this is scripted. It is what is on my mind. I share it with you. |
| 1:31.0 | I hope you share these videos with others. We have a lot of viewers. That is very important to me because I think important things are said here. |
| 1:40.0 | So, basically, I think always, I begin with something that is on my mind. In other words, not something that is told to me, you know what you should talk about, unless it is really something already I have been thinking about. |
| 1:57.0 | But in this case, this is sort of haunting me. The notion that for example, men can menstruate. This is now a given on the left in America. And not just America in the English speaking world. |
| 2:22.0 | I don't believe this is a very interesting thing that I don't believe I have an explanation for. And it drives me a little crazy when I can't figure out a why. Why are the English speaking countries weirder in their quote-unquote political correctness, which means ability to believe what isn't true. |
| 2:45.0 | Then let's say Germany or France or any African country or any Asian country. If you told a Vietnamese, an intellectual or a peasant doesn't matter. Any Vietnamese person, you know a men can menstruate. They would think you're out of your mind. And they'd be right. |
| 3:08.0 | That's the amazing thing. I don't doubt that there are people who feel that they are men and menstruate because they are biologically women. That's a fact. I don't deny facts. |
| 3:20.0 | But it is also a fact that it is biologically a woman. And I'm not going to say the man is menstruating. A person who identifies as a man is menstruating. I have no, I understand that. |
| 3:34.0 | But that's not the same as a man can menstruate. You know, it's so remarkable because if you have any hesitation about converting the world to solar and wind, and wind, solar and wind, if you have any hesitation, you're not even doubt that the world is getting warmer. |
| 4:00.0 | But you have any hesitation about undoing the entire Western world's economy because of the alleged existential threat of global warming. |
| 4:13.0 | And existential means threat to one's existence that I don't believe. I believe the world's getting warmer. I do not believe it's an existential threat. That is true. I do not believe that. |
| 4:22.0 | But if you have any hesitation on that, on the solutions or your anti-science. But if you say a man menstruates, you're pro-science. See, this is the upside down universe that young people are inheriting from their elders. |
| 4:40.0 | Never have, has a young generation been more misled on almost every issue than is currently happening in the West, and especially in English-speaking countries. |
| 4:53.0 | And I will give you a list of some of the terrible things. I just wrote this in my column. I write a column every Tuesday, and I hope you'll read them because I work these things out in print. |
