Well, hello and welcome to my home. I'm Dennis Prager, great to be with you. It is literally a

fire side chat and I pretty much, unless I am gone for a whole week, I do one every week.

Because your feedback is so positive and the number of people who watch it is quite high.

So it means a lot to me and it's totally informal, which is a risk by the way.

There is nothing rehearsed, nothing scripted. I just offer you some ideas that

my favorite part is taking your questions. But it's the real deal and it's apparently

well received. So thank you. So that I even say my name, I don't even know if I said my name,

my name is Dennis Prager, which you probably know or you wouldn't actually be watching this now,

but nevertheless it is appropriate to say. So first of all, oh yes, let me introduce you.

This is one of the stuffed animals that I dox plays with, but I am holding it because I just

thought that I needed a safe space. You all know what a safe space is, right? On a college campus,

if you encounter just the fact that someone came on the campus and said something with which you

differ, you can go to a safe space and think of your stuffed animals. And they give you what

else do they give you? They give you, what do they give you? Played out. Played out. They play sweet

music. They show frolicing dog videos. What was that crayons? This is to college kids. You know,

if somebody gave me that when I was seven, I would have said, what am I a baby? And these people are

20. This is a problem. It's the infantilization of young people in this country is a very,

very real problem. I feel bad for young people. The whole point is to grow up, not to stay a child,

but that's another subject. So what am I going to open with today? I always open with a few comments

on something. So I'm going to talk to you today about this. Every so often I will get an email.

So Dennis, why do you have a cigar or pipe? I smoke both on your fire side chats.

And I'll get either, you know, it's unhealthy or it's a bad role model or those are the two big
