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.



Hour 1

Fireside Chat with Dennis Prager

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

The left claims to speak on behalf of groups in America they label as oppressed or “marginalized” — even when those groups reject the left’s representations. Dennis offers three modern examples: The Washington Redskins, “Latinx,” and “racist” voting laws.

Ep. 222 — "Believe Me, You Are Oppressed"

It’s a Q&A Fireside Chat this week! Topics include coming out as conservative and losing friends—are they lost for good? Words of wisdom for loved ones going through tough times, why gender roles are important, and why teaching about freedom is essential (something our older generations failed to do). Enjoy!

Ep. 221 — Answering Your Questions

Are public acknowledgements of Christmas gradually disappearing? (Spoiler: Yes. There actually is a “war” on Christmas.) Who or what is driving that? If you are among those who think Christmas is no longer inclusive enough, you should know that this Jew disagrees! Settle in to hear why Dennis loves Christmas so much and why you should too. 

Ep. 218 — Who Hates Christmas? 

A biological male is dominating the NCAA women’s swim competitions. At any other time, we would all recognize this as cheating. Female swimmers know it’s IMPOSSIBLE to compete and win against transgender athletes. But legacy media is ignoring this women’s rights issue and refusing to acknowledge that fair play no longer exists in women’s sports. 

Ep. 217 — Biological Male Swimmer Steals Women's Records 

Every person of faith struggles with this. When terrible things happen to good people (a tragic event, a loved one dies or gets cancer, etc.), the question is always there: Why would God allow this to happen? Well, this is important—it’s the wrong way to approach your faith. Dennis has spent years examining this topic and you’ll appreciate the rational perspective. 

Ep. 216 — Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen to Good People?

Legacy media outlets called Kyle Rittenhouse both a murderer and a white supremacist. Viewers believed them. The same journalists told viewers that—not a career criminal— but an SUV drove through a Christmas parade in nearby Waukesha killing 6 and seriously injuring dozens more. If you haven’t yet accepted the sad truth that legacy media willfully distorts the news to fit a left-wing agenda, it’s about time you did.  This episode was made possible through our partnership with 

Ep. 215 — Public Reactions: Rittenhouse & the Christmas Parade Massacre

This year’s Thanksgiving episode is about the greatest of the traits. The foundation of goodness and happiness. Yet today, young people are being taught to be 

Ep. 214 — Gratitude Is Everything

This episode is a follow-up to Ep. 211 — Don’t Raise Fearful Children, in which Dennis answers why some people are gripped with fear and others are not. In this episode, Dennis addresses these questions: How do we become less fearful? What is the difference between a courageous person and a non-courageous person? And how is fear used for evil? 

Ep. 213 — Fear Is a Serious Problem

Seems like a bizarre question, but the left does not think stealing is wrong and Dennis provides proof (see “in defense of looting”). Dennis goes over why we have come to this point. Column referenced: 

Ep. 212 — Is Stealing Wrong?

What kind of person is more likely to live in fear? Dennis has always spoken about the importance of living a full life and not dwelling in fear, but this episode is about understanding   

Ep. 211 — Don't Raise Fearful Children

Dennis Prager got COVID, the internet imploded, hateful people mocked & celebrated, and unfortunately for them and the lying media, he made a very quick recovery. Here’s what happened.

Ep. 210 — My COVID Experience

EVERYTHING in life is a choice: Courage, happiness, religion, marriage, everything. The sooner you realize this, the happier your life will be. Dennis also rants about what the media now labels “misinformation” and the fact that honest dissent is no longer permitted. Note: This episode was previously recorded.

Ep. 209 — Everything in Life Is a Choice

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!
