Hi everybody Dennis Prager here welcome to the fireside chat. Otto the great

American dog is hyperventilating today because he was taken to the vet he had

actually a schedule surgery nothing terribly serious apally but needed one but

for whatever reason they couldn't find a vein and so he got a little worked up

he's very rarely worked up as you will know folks some of you actually have

thought he's a stuffed animal in the past so Otto and worked up don't usually go

the fireside chat so I'm Dennis Prager I welcome you to number one hundred and

200 yeah don't know what well this is an opportunity for me to simply talk to

you about what's on my mind very unrehearsed spontaneous not reading off any

prompter or anything else and you have a chance to ask me things that are on

your mind so I will begin with a couple of comments today I want to specialize

in taking your questions because it's been a few a few weeks and so I've gotten to

take a lot of questions but there is something I do want to share with you and

that is the increased number of Americans who feel hurt feel better offended

the it we have gone from a very strong people oh look at that this is rare but

now you understand why we're gonna let him out he wants to go out and who knows

why I don't think he's ever gotten out of his bed it pretty rarely yeah all

right I know that there's sort of a hole in all of our lives right now but we

will endure people have gone from being a strong people Americans pretty
