0:00.0 | Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. This is FireSide Chat. I already cleared it number 204. |
0:07.2 | That's auto. Auto is my bulldog. Auto is in many ways the great feature of the FireSide Chat. |
0:16.6 | I, by the way, I'm okay with that. So when people pass me at the airport and just say say hi to auto, |
0:23.7 | I'm okay with that too. By the way, I do want to say something that I sometimes remember to say, |
0:32.0 | most time I don't remember to say, all of the FireSide Chat are relevant. They may talk about a subject |
0:40.4 | of the moment, but they're all relevant for hopefully forever. They take on big issues. I always |
0:49.2 | deal with big issues. So feel free to go back to any number, pick a random number. 37 doesn't matter. |
0:57.3 | And by the way, if you want to binge, it's worthy of binging on. So just a word about the FireSide |

1:35.4 | is playing Russian roulette with their values. In Russian roulette, I believe there are six chambers |
1:41.5 | to a gun. One of them has a bullet. So you have a one and six chance of killing yourself. |
1:52.5 | In college, it's the opposite. Five of the six chambers are filled with bullets. You have a one |
1:59.4 | and six chance of your kid not being ruined. That's the tragedy. And I mean ruined. And now it's |
2:06.4 | the same for elementary schools and high schools. The tragedy of the desecration of something |
2:16.8 | wholly called education in America done by the left because the left ruins everything it touches. |
2:23.4 | There has never been an exception since Lenin, Vladimir Lenin, not the John Lenin of the Beatles fame, |
2:31.8 | is one of the rules of life. I'm not talking about liberals. I'm talking about leftists. I have no |
2:40.4 | problem with liberals except that they vote for the left and thereby ruin liberalism. But that's |
