Welcome to my home. I'm Dennis Prager. This is my home. This is as informal as you...

Well, it's not as informal as you can get. I... after all, I could be here in pajamas, but I don't wear pajamas.

I certainly couldn't be here. So, it's really, really informal. I love this. A lot of people are watching, and that means a great deal to me, because I really get a chance to talk from my heart.

And from my mind, because you have to do both in life. So, anyway, welcome to my home, and maybe you'll get to see the bulldog or the bass at hand at some point, but who knows.

So, listen to this. I just flew in from Australia. If case you didn't know, Australia is very far away. I just thought I would share that with you.

It's from LA. You can take a nonstop. I gave a speech in Melbourne just the other day. And I went to... I went to Australia for three days just to give a speech.

And I want to say something to the Prager Force people in Melbourne, Australia. Anyway, the flight is 16 and a half hours.

So, you sort of live on an airplane for all that time. That doesn't include the time you're on the ground. So, you're on the plane about 18 hours.

And thank God I don't go economy class. I have to admit it. I had six foot four. That would not be possible, at least for me.

Anyway, I'm really dedicated to these fireside chats so that even flying in from Australia, I didn't want to go to bed. I wanted to be here to do this with you.

And hi everybody. By your way, before I go on with that, I want to thank publicly Stephen Crowder of Louder with Crowder.

I come home and I see a beautiful box of cigars awaiting me. I would love to read you the note. But I don't know. It was so warm and so filled with kind things that if I read it, it would sound like I'm boasting.

But I would like to read it to credit him, not me. Anyway, Stephen, you are one good man. And thank you for that.

There were members of Prager Force in Melbourne who wanted to come to my speech, but the problem was, and I really would have loved it. If I could have been decisive, of course I would have said yes.

But I was not, I was the keynote speaker, but another speaker on the program was the Israeli ambassador to Australia. It was a speech of the Jewish community of Melbourne, Australia.

They're annual big event. And he came from Canberra, the capital of Australia to give a speech and is tragically Israeli diplomats need a great deal of security for reasons that are obvious to everyone.

And so if your name wasn't on the list, way in advance, they didn't allow anybody to come in.

So those of you Prager Force in Melbourne, thank you. I wish I had met you and you could have come to the talk.

Okay, now that we got some of the preliminaries talked about, I think all the time, what would I like to open with? And I rarely open with things in the news.

I sometimes do, but I don't feel a compulsion to do that this time. What I want to talk to you about, especially to those of you who are young, what does young mean?

I don't know, under 40, under 35, whatever you want to choose, it doesn't matter. The truth is what I'm about to say, if you're under 70, it would apply.

But it's particularly true for you who are young. I know you never saw what I'm about to say.
