Hey there, this is Marissa Strite. I am the CEO of Prager You, and you are about to listen to a special edition of fireside chat with Dennis Prager.

Those of us here at Prager You are continuing to do the very important work that we've been doing with him for over 10 years.

We are educating millions of young people online. We have state partnerships to bring our content into schools,

and so much more you can head over to prairieu.com to see the progress that we've been making.

Also, I'd love to invite you to support our mission by donating to our 501c3. It is a nonprofit.

Your tax deductible donation will go to an institution of higher learning that actually shares your values.

So enjoy your podcast and thank you so much for all your support.

Hi everybody. Welcome to my home. I'm Dennis Prager and this really is my home. And I come to you

just about every week. We call it the fireside chat.

That's the reason.

I think that was obvious, but I thought I'd point to it anyway.

Whatever the season, we have the fire going for the fireside chat.

One of the best parts of this is, which unfortunately is sometimes a little too obvious, it's truly not scripted.

It's a way of you're getting to know me and what I think better and as informally as it were

as possible and for me to take your questions. So that's the beauty. I always open up with some

thoughts on something. Might be in the news. It might have nothing to do with the news. And then I take

your questions. So anyway, great to be with you and thanks for being with me. And usually it's a cigar,

but in my private life away, every day is one cigar and one or two pipefuls.

Started when I was a teenager. My dad smoked his last cigar, his last year of life at 96.

He never smoked the pipe. I don't think so, anyway.

And I don't like cigarettes, and cigarettes are dangerous.

Just wanted to be careful about that.
