Hi everybody, welcome to my home. I'm Dennis Prager of Prager You and a whole host of other things,

but you probably will be best from Prager You. A lot of you I hope listen to my radio show,

my syndicated radio show, which is on the internet and of course local stations around the United States.

So it's great to be with you. I just returned from Europe. I spoke in Brussels at the European

Ten Commandments, why am I controversial? It's not a comment about me that I'm controversial.

It's a comment about those who find me controversial. That's really what it's all about.

I mean, take an example of a very hot button issue. So I think that marriage should have

remained defined as between a man and a woman. So let's say you disagree with me.

And I want to add, there are good people who disagree with me. There are bad people who disagree
