Hi everybody, welcome to my home again for what we call fire side chats. I'm Dennis Prager.

Great to be with you. Light up my cigar. It is my house by the way. Just want you to do.

You should all read the article in slate about how insignificant secondhand smoke is,

which I have argued for the last 20 years. Anyway, welcome. Great to how we were my home.

Got a lot to talk to you about. What? Really good.

Why are we, it is not cute, but for those of you into cigars, not for political reasons.

I don't like them as much as Nicaraguan or Honduran or Dominican. Anyway, hi.

So listen, I just got back from two weeks in China, Korea and Japan. I took about 110 of my radio listeners

from around the country. I've been doing this for 25 years. Taking cruises with my listeners.

By the way, the shake on the camera was caused by our bulldog auto. It is a shame you can't see him.

Although on the other hand, he is so enticing and hilarious. You wouldn't listen to me.

You would just be looking at him. So it's probably a good thing. He's not on camera.

That he has a truly funny face. So for 25 years, I've been doing this.

I've been traveling for 40. And I've been to 130 countries.

By the way, it's the only thing I brag about. I admit it. It's total brag. I'm proud of it.

I think that's better than brag because it takes an effort. Remember, I'm not a travel agent.

I have a full time job. So it's not easy to get to that many countries.

But I've been to China, Japan and Korea in the past. I love visiting there.

Something I want to tell you is fascinating. Then I want to talk to you about travel.

I was in China only once before the year after Mao Zedong, the greatest mass murder in history, died.

And China then was like North Korea today, a completely controlled totalitarian state.

And now it was it's still a authoritarian state.
