Hi everybody welcome to my home Dennis Prager here for my weekly fireside

chat. Where are my trusty dogs are they here? No. Well just trusting we have trusty

dogs and they trust these cigar. Life is good. Life is good if you make it good.

It takes a lot of effort. There's luck. There's no question there is luck. By the way

I don't know a lot of you may know me for my views on political matter social matters

and so on but I have just as many views and just as much work that I've done on

what I call micro issues personal issues. I'm a book on happiness for example. Got a

number of Prager U videos on happiness and they're related. They're related. Politics

and happiness are very very related. I have a motto one of my many

models. The happy make the world better and the unhappy make it worse and that's true.

You think the people who join evil movements are happy? How does the how does the

combination of words happy Nazi sound happy communist happy isis member. You have

a see an isis member smile. I haven't. These are these are profoundly miserable human

beings but it's true even in America we're not talking about Nazis communists or isis terrorists.

It's true everywhere. There was a piece I think it was in the New York Times in fact just

this past week about how much more happy Republican women are than Democratic women. Now

why is that? It's a very important subject. Why are conservatives happier than liberals

and the further left you go the less happy the human being? Why is that? Well here is my theory.

Everybody not not not everybody. There are a few people who walk between the

range range. Ninety eight percent of humanity has real challenges in life. Loved ones who die,

illness, financial problems, marital problems, children problems. I mean it's just it's endless.

Life is a challenge. So if you're unhappy you really have two choices. Let's talk about America.
