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.

Hour 1

Fireside Chat with Dennis Prager

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

Research has shown the damaging effects that Instagram and other social media platforms have on young girls and their developing self-esteem. Are social media companies (or parents) to blame? Should Congress intervene? Dennis offers a take that you probably won’t hear anywhere else.

Ep. 208 — Social Media and Self-Esteem: Is There a Correlation?

This question runs through Dennis’s mind regularly: What kind of person would risk their lives to hide someone they don’t know? Dennis once asked a Jewish couple who had been hidden in Poland during the Holocaust—if they had hoped to be rescued/hidden, whose door would they knock on: a lawyer, a doctor, an artist, or a priest? The answer reveals something incredibly important about the future of this country.

Ep. 207 — Who Would Hide a Jew?

In this week’s episode, Dennis worries about Americans losing their freedom… and their common sense. He also poses a challenging question: what happens when a society decides that security is more important than liberty?

Ep. 206 — Are Americans Okay with Losing Freedom?

As a result of the shocking decline of our educational system and culture, parents around the country are increasingly opting to homeschool. What are the primary challenges? Is it worth it? Is it the future? Dennis has an insightful conversation with some current and formerly homeschooled students. Enjoy! 


Ep. 204 — Why Homeschool Is Winning

Yeonmi Park, a North Korean defector, suffered unimaginable horror on her journey to freedom. Desperate from starvation and oppression, she managed to escape to China, but had been sold. Several years later, she escaped through the Gobi Desert into Mongolia and then finally to freedom in South Korea. Once at university in America, she recognized the same propaganda tactics of North Korea. She has an incredible story and we’re honored to bring it to you.

Ep. 203 — Escaping Oppression: North Korean Defector Yeonmi Park

Dennis Prager is the most well-traveled person you know. It’s so important to him that he has traveled abroad every single year since the age of 20—2020 being the first year he couldn’t due to COVID travel restrictions. Now that restrictions have eased, Dennis revisited Hungary and several other Eastern European countries, and today reflects on Hungary’s nationalism and whether the criticism it receives is fair. Should you be proud of your nation? Is it dangerous or unifying?

Ep. 202 — Nationalism: Is It Good or Bad?

Pulling our remaining 2,500 troops out of Afghanistan? Dennis was against it. And he was against it for the reasons we are now witnessing today. Also in the news: chaos, mandates, and tyranny in Australia. Dennis, as always, provides needed perspective and lessons from all of these events.  Dennis's column referenced: 

Ep. 201 — Crisis in Afghanistan & Tyranny in Australia

PragerU’s marvelous CEO Marissa Streit joins Dennis for this special 200th Fireside Chat! They discuss our fans, our haters, and reminisce on the early days of PragerU (including the time we had to start over from scratch). Thank you for making this weekly visit with Dennis part of your life! We hope it contributes something special.



Ep. 200 - Good Things to Celebrate with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit

There’s a good reason to ask. You see, even though people are living LONGER than ever, the media wants you to believe that global warming presents an immediate and existential threat. People believe it. Some even claim to be glad to never have grandchildren. Here’s Dennis’s take.

Ep. 199 — Is the Media Making You Irrational?

It’s time to come to terms with the fact that the left is openly hostile toward the message and dream of MLK, Jr.: that a man be judged by his character rather than his skin color. Every modern human in possession of a clear and rational mind embraces the truth: character is everything.

Ep. 198 — Character Is Everything

A touching moment: Dennis receives birthday messages from PragerFORCE and it triggers a reflection on his life and career. What’s his most important message? Why does he receive so much hatred and how does he deal with it? He has led a unique life, including a smuggling operation in the Soviet Union—and experiencing that true totalitarianism taught some key life lessons.

Ep. 197 — Life, Legacy, and a Dangerous Mission in the Soviet Union

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

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.

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

Folks, this might be the most important Independence Day to celebrate than ever before. It doesn’t (and never did) mean that you agree with every single thing that America has done. But what this country HAS gotten right is a miraculous achievement, and we are all unfathomably lucky beneficiaries. Have a happy and reflective Fourth!

Ep. 193 — An Olympian Should Be Honored to Represent the USA

The Iowa public school system has MANDATED Critical Race Theory and Dennis reviews a shocking document that the state’s teachers are forced to use. You won’t believe the things it paints with a “white supremacy” brush.  Dennis's column this week: 

Ep. 192 — Disturbing: Iowa School Documents Leaked

Dennis reflects on this past year’s newfound obsession with “safety.” The price for "playing it safe" at everything in life is not fully living. Later, he addresses Juneteenth, our new national holiday, and the U.S. military going woke.
