| 0:00.0 | Hello my friends, I'm Dennis Prager, welcome to my home. I always emphasize it is my home |
| 0:05.0 | for our unscripted, completely spontaneous, weekly fireside chat. I just, I mean just flew in from |
| 0:13.8 | Washington, DC. I'm in the Los Angeles area. And I was in Washington to testify in the US Senate, |
| 0:23.6 | invited by Senator Ted Cruz to testify to his subcommittee on the judiciary, |
| 0:29.6 | about the subject of what is happening to Prager University videos at a Google Slash YouTube, |
| 0:36.7 | Google owns YouTube, 56 of our 325 minute videos are on the restricted list. I'll explain that |
| 0:46.5 | in a moment. And other videos as well, including some fireside chats for that matter. |
| 0:55.0 | Will Whits stuff is, Candice Owen stuff is not just the videos that we put out. That's a lot. |

| 2:14.8 | in the United States Senate chambers yesterday, or when, which is when I did this. But in your time, |
| 2:23.7 | it'll be the next day. But it doesn't matter. Because if you watch this, if you're watching this a year |
| 2:30.4 | from now, it's completely relevant. Well, I hope it won't be relevant, but I suspect it will be. |
| 2:36.6 | Anyway, that's what happened. So they had one of the heads of Google testify and be questioned. |
