Hey everybody, Dennis Prager here. Great to be with you. I'm with you every week and it is

0:05.2

amazing every week. It's true. From my home in California, USA to all over the world, we have

0:12.3

thus far questions from people in 52 countries and that doesn't include people who don't send

0:19.6

questions. So it's a very powerful vehicle to touch your life and that's what I want to do.

0:27.6

That's what I've always wanted to do in fact. And it's a great way for you to know me better and

0:33.1

know what I stand for and then I get your feedback. It's completely unrehearsed. I don't read a word

1:49.6

as possible of that question. And it applies from many people with regard to people who support

1:56.8

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, who many regard as not a decent person.

2:02.4

So I am not here to defend Donald Trump. I am here to defend the notion that a decent person

2:13.0

has different questions to ask about a leader than what is their character.

2:20.4

There are so many answers that I could give on this that I think would convince any open-minded person

2:26.7

that I don't even know where to begin because there are so many. So I'll begin without any order of importance with this question.

2:37.4

If your house were on fire, would you inquire as to the character of the firefighters who came to put it out?

2:48.8

Or their ability to put out fires?
