Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager, this is Dennis Prager's house, Dennis Prager's Fireplace, and Dennis Prager's dog.

0:05.5

Otto, who, as I have told you, I do believe maybe the most famous dog in America, or at least they be tied for first,

0:12.7

maybe he's even just in second place. But the good news, as I keep telling you, which shows good rearing.

0:20.2

None of it has gone to his head. That's right, and that's the way it should be.

0:26.7

Anyway, it is great to be with you. I explain each week. This is completely nonscripted. It is completely spontaneous.

0:33.9

I don't even have makeup on, which is probably apparent, which is probably not a great thing, but nevertheless it is what it is.

0:40.7

So, I usually offer some thoughts, and then I take your questions. I'm going to take questions, and then I'm going to offer thoughts today.

0:48.5

There's a reason, as you will realize when I do.

0:52.3

So, here we go. And by the way, I don't rehearse these answers. I'm sure I would give better answers if I did, but it's just part of the way of doing this fireside chat,

1:05.9

which by the way, getting a lot of views, we're approaching a million every week.

1:11.9

And I was thinking, I mentioned on my radio show, for those who don't know, I do a radio show. You could hear it anywhere in the world on the internet,

1:19.9

in most cities in the United States on radio as well. And I was mentioning, I saw ratings for the cable news networks.

1:28.9

More people watch this than I believe. I think, the last thing I wanted to do was misstate it, but I think that any given show on CNN in the United States at any rate.

1:41.9

So, it's a very amazing thing to think about. I would like everybody to see it, and it has nothing to do with me. It has to do with these are really good ideas.

1:53.9

And we have, where do you get good ideas these days? I mean, think about it.

1:59.9

Why don't I just read that there was a, there's a, there's a California schools are going to teach the fluidity of gender to kindergarteners.

2:15.9

It's, it's, it's almost unbelievable to expose five year olds to the notion that, you know, one day they may rethink whether they're a boy or a girl.

2:31.9

Why would we want to do this? So, I'm just thinking, what do, what do people learn in schools now in America? And I'm sure other parts of the West.

2:44.9

There's so much history to learn. There are so many foreign languages to study. There's so much music and art to learn. There's so much math to learn. So much science to learn. Why do they even have time for that stuff? Why is gender fluidity? It shouldn't be taught in high school. It has nothing to do with the mandate of a school.

3:07.9

It's getting to the point where I think a lot of parents in America are going to have to rethink whether to send their children to a public school or regular school, even a regular private school.

3:23.9

I would not want my child in a school that robbed my child of his or her innocence. There's already too much robbing than a innocence. Here's the irony. You get robbed of your innocence at five, but they stay innocent in some ways. There's a naive tale about human nature that continues. It's like everything's upside down. We rob you of your innocence, but we keep you naive. But anyway, it's another subject.

3:52.9

Okay, so I'm going to go to your calls a calls. I see that's my radio brain, refunctioning and automatic. Aaron, 16 years old. By the way, most of the questions that I see on this are from teenagers.
