Hi everybody, Dennis Pringer in my home, I dog, my fireplace, that's the fire

side chat. Every week. We don't miss, do we? It's really wonderful. It's a big deal.

A lot of people watch this. I am delighted and all over the world and wherever

you are in the world, welcome to my home. What this is is an opportunity for me to

just openly talk to you about life, about what's on my mind, and it's all

obviously unscripted. It's almost completely unrehearsed. I admit to I think about

gee, what would I like to open up with? And that's it, but there's nothing written

or anything like that. And it's it's it's obviously hit a good nerve with a

lot of you and that means a lot to me. So I was thinking what should I open up with?

And there's so many topics I still want to talk to you about. Everybody is wounded. So

I sort of alternate between macro and micro. I divide the world because it's that the

world is divided. Macro issues in micro issues. Micro is personal. Macro is social, political,

philosophical, old, so on. And I like to talk about both equally. Today is more macro,

but it probably has a micro element. So listen to this that I just read just yesterday.

This is from pure research, which is completely to the best of my knowledge, completely

non-police. Not leftist, not rightist, not liberalist, not conservative. It's just

a place that does polling. A narrow majority of Democrats, 55 percent, well, that's what

they use the word narrow, but it's a majority. 55 percent of Democrats under age 30 say

it would be acceptable if other nations became as militarily powerful as the US. That's

almost unbelievable. It gives you an idea. Part of the poll was also that Democrats under

30 also believe, don't believe that the United States is better than other countries. And

I want to talk to you because a lot of you are watching this from different countries
