How do you make sense of the Israel-Palestinian conflict? This week’s guest, Bassem Eid, is a pro-Israel Palestinian who writes for several Israeli publications—an extremely brave and risky thing to do. Watch this fascinating conversation between two men who value truth over everything.

Hour 1

Fireside Chat with Dennis Prager

Ep. 194 — Do You Want to Understand the Middle East?

Viewer questions answered all episode long! This week: how young conservatives can thrive in the world of media given the current political climate, what Dennis thinks about arranged marriages, and a lot more.

Ep. 363 — Media, Academia, and Arranged Marriages

One year ago (on October 7, 2023), the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust occurred. Out of over 200 nations worldwide, only Israel faces a constant threat of annihilation. Despite claims, the Middle East conflict isn't about establishing a Palestinian state. Dennis reminds us that the ultimate goal of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran remains the destruction of Israel and wiping the Jewish state off the map.

Ep. 362 — One Year after October 7

Israel recently eliminated a Hezbollah leader, yet somehow, Israel faces criticism. Why? People should hate terrorists, not anti-terrorists. Dennis reveals the stark contrast between Israel and its enemies: one side wants peace, while the other seeks the complete annihilation of the only Jewish state.

Ep. 361 — Who's Fighting for Peace, Who's Spreading Terror?

An opinion piece in The New York Times recently accused Israel of committing “war crimes” for taking out Hezbollah terrorists by detonating explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies. If Israel drops bombs, they’re labeled mass murderers. If they target terrorists' communication devices, it’s a “war crime.” Is there anything Israel can do to defend itself against those who want to exterminate it?

Ep. 360 — When Did Self-Defense Become a "War Crime"?

After yet another assassination attempt on a presidential candidate and former president, Dennis reflects on the deepening divisions and social unrest plaguing America. He recalls a time in his childhood when the nation faced hardships, though nothing like the chaos we see today. Despite these difficult times, Dennis reminds us to cultivate peace and stability and not blame others for our problems.

Ep. 359 — Today's America: Chaos, Division, and Social Unrest

This week, Dennis answers your questions about abortion, God’s will for our lives, and why he does the Fireside Chat week after week.


Ep. 358 — Thoughts on Abortion, Sin, and God's Will

Who poses a greater threat to a free society: those who advocate for smaller government or those pushing for ever-expanding government control? Dennis breaks down the dangerous tradeoff of socialism—you might get free stuff, but at the cost of your liberty and dignity. Plus, he answers your questions on homeschooling, doing business with woke companies, finding good friends, and even his preferred pronouns.

Ep. 357 — Freedom vs. Government: Which Side Are You On?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been a vocal critic of the medical industry for years. His siblings have called him a “disgrace,” but do RFK Jr.’s concerns about corruption have any validity? Dennis explores this and answers your questions about God’s will for our lives, having confidence without arrogance, and if there is hope for the future.

Ep. 356 — Is the Medical Industry Corrupt?

What would happen if the government controlled food prices? Dennis discusses the dangers of abandoning free markets for government intervention and answers your questions about the differences between Judaism and Christianity, contrasting views on the Messiah, and the forces threatening the nuclear family.

Ep. 355 — The Deadly Irony of Price Controls

The 2024 Paris Olympics went off the rails with drag queens mocking the Last Supper, athletes forced to eat vegan food, and biological men winning gold medals in women's boxing. Dennis tackles the absurdity of the "woke" games, offers a solution to restore fairness in women's sports, and answers your questions on preparing for motherhood and fighting the destructive agendas of the left.

Ep. 354 — XX and XY Are Not the Same

Dennis weighs in on the heated debate over female boxers being forced to compete against opponents at the Olympics who were disqualified from last year’s Women’s World Boxing Championships after failing gender tests. He also answers your questions about religion, hunting for sport, Beethoven, and when conservatives must stand firm in their beliefs vs. when they should compromise to fight the left’s destructive agenda.

Ep. 353 — Does the Left Stand Up for Women?

A controversial performance during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics featured a Last Supper scene with trans people and men in drag. Are we entering a post-Judeo-Christian era, or are we reverting to a pre-Biblical pagan world? Dennis explores what this means for our culture and answers your questions about studying different languages, praying for America, and choosing a career.

Ep. 352 — Paganism at the Paris Olympics

If you’ve seen the models of how close the would-be assassin’s bullets came to killing former President Trump, you can understand why many feel that God intervened. But is that warranted? Can we ever know God’s plans or why one life is spared and another is not? Dennis explores this and more, answers your questions, and shares valuable life lessons from his childhood in this week’s Fireside Chat.


Ep. 351 — Did Divine Intervention Save Trump?

If Donald Trump is truly the “fascist Nazi” that many on the left claim he is, why wouldn’t you do everything possible to prevent him from gaining power? You can’t have it both ways—saying he’s a dictator that threatens American democracy but being relieved that an attempt to assassinate him failed. This week, Dennis explores the broader philosophical implications of the attempted assassination of former president and presidential candidate Donald Trump.


Ep. 350 — The Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump

Dennis recently visited the Arctic Circle, where the sun barely set for two weeks. It made him realize that from food to daylight to experiences and travel, variety is the spice of life. He also discusses how Ronald Reagan and a visit to Nashville changed his life, how PragerU videos can change minds in just five minutes, and why wherever you are is the center of the world.


Ep. 349 — Why Humans Crave Variety

On July 4, 1776, the Founders declared America's independence from Great Britain, initiating the greatest experiment in liberty in human history. However, with the decline of America’s education system, left-wing narratives like The 1619 Project, and the defamation of our Founding Fathers as nothing more than racist slave owners, the true significance of Independence Day is being forgotten by many Americans. But PragerU is changing that!

Ep. 348 — 1776: A Legacy Worth Celebrating

Famine is a natural consequence of communism, so it’s no surprise this is happening in Cuba. And as usual, the media takes a dishonest spin on the protests. Even scarier is how likely it now seems to see similar protests for freedom here in America, eventually.

Ep. 195 — Cuba's Protests Amplify Media Bias

It is one of the most important questions one can ask: What is the best thing Americans can do to make the country better? Dennis has an answer that you won’t expect.

Ep. 196 — The Best Thing You Can Do for America

Dennis's musings, meditations & conversations by a roaring fire.
