0:00.0 | Hi everybody, welcome to my home. I'm Dennis Prager and this really is my home. And I come to you |
0:06.3 | just about every week we call it the fireside chat. That's the reason. I think that was obvious, |
0:12.6 | but I thought I'd point to it anyway. Whatever the season we have the fire going for the fireside chat. |
0:18.8 | One of the best parts of this is it's which unfortunately it's sometimes a little too obvious. |
0:26.4 | It's truly not scripted. It's a way of you're getting to know me and what I think better and |
0:35.9 | as informally as it were as possible and for me to take your questions. So that's the beauty. I |
0:43.2 | always open up with some thoughts on something. Might be in the news. It might have nothing to do with |

1:52.3 | It's a serious question. It's not a riddle. It's not a joke. What is the single most important question? |
2:00.0 | Society has to answer. Or for that matter, individuals have to answer. The single most important question. |
2:11.3 | Okay. Well, here is my nomination. I'm not saying I'm right, but this is my answer to that question. |
2:22.0 | The most important question society has to answer. And parents have to answer. And individuals have |
2:29.6 | to answer is how do you make good people? Or how do you make people good? You could put it either way. |
