0:00.0	Hi everybody, FireSide Chat number 241. 241. Definitely worth binge watching. How long
0:08.7	would it take to watch 241 episodes? Let's see. Five times two and everything's in,
0:13.5	everything's in, it's a lot. Yeah. Anyway, I'm Dennis Prager. It is a wonderful thing that I have
0:19.6	this. It's a blessing in my life and thank God a lot of people think it's a blessing in their life,
0:24.8	too. It is truly spontaneous. I obviously think of something to talk about prior and then I take
0:34.2	your questions, but it's unrehearsed and there are no teleprompters, although I will be reading from
0:41.0	a editorial on the Wall Street Journal on the topic that I'm opening up with. So anyway, welcome
0:47.4	to the FireSide Chat. This is Otto. Otto is my beloved bulldog, best known dog in America,
0:59.5	and he's very modest about it, which is a beautiful thing, but we raised him with good values.
1:06.0	So I have not talked about the horror of the killings of the kids in Texas and the reasons were
1:13.8	logistical. In one case, it happened right after we recorded the FireSide Chat because I had to
1:24.5	leave Go on the Road, and so we did it a day early. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I don't talk about
1:31.6	everything in the news. That's not what the FireSide Chat is about, but large issues that I have
1:37.6	something that I think is important to say and is not just of immediate significance, then I address it.
1:47.2	Then we had the special session with Bapia, the Newsweek Editor and writer, which has gone up
1:56.8	correct. How was the feedback on that? Did we get feedback? I had to believe people loved it.
2:04.8	That was an intense hour or more than an hour, even. Anyway, that's the reason I didn't address it,
2:13.1	which is fine with me because I don't like immediate takes necessarily on many issues.
2:22.6	People should have the time to think it through. That's one of the reasons I tend not to tweet,
2:28.2	because I don't know if I want to say something immediately about something. I like to think
2:33.7	them through. I want what I say to be significant years later, not just for a day.
2:41.2	I'm okay with the fact that I'm just addressing this issue a couple of weeks after it happened.
