Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. This is really my house. This is not a set. If it were a set, I

0:06.4

as I often tell you, it would look, I think a lot nicer. A lot beater at Dicer. So this is my home.

0:15.9

This is what a lot of guys who come in here call my man cave, but it's not really my man cave,

0:21.3

even though it has cigars. God bless my wife. She sits here with me all the time while I write,

0:28.5

we talk and I smoke my cigar. She has no problem with it. She hates cigarettes. By the way,

0:35.8

talking about a cigar. For so many of these, I smoke the cigar during this fireside chat,

0:45.6

but for reasons that are perplexing to me, we're not allowed because what was it? The YouTube was

1:02.3

God, to think, to think about what now constitutes good example or bad example,

1:51.2

what makes me tick. So I always begin with a subject, and then I take your questions. So today's

1:59.1

subject, courtesy of Megan, works for Prager You, how old are you, Megan? 25. So she had a

2:10.3

very good question. How come there are so many parents whose kids have different values,

2:17.6

even antithetical values, especially in the case of traditional parents like specifically,

2:25.2

traditionally religious Americans? Whether they're Catholic or Jewish or Protestant, evangelical,

2:33.2

Mormon, and their kids have contempt for religion. Why does that happen? Where so to speak, did the

2:41.6

parents go wrong? Or for example, parents who love America who believe in its essential values,
