Dennis reacts to an anti-racist book for middle schoolers and questions society’s current obsession with skin color. Does focusing on race make you deep or just superficial? What happens when all that matters is dominance and power, without the ability to judge good from bad? Dennis answers these questions and more in this week’s Fireside Chat.

Hour 1

Fireside Chat with Dennis Prager

Ep. 263 — Is Your Race Your Identity?

One side wants the other side dead. It's not complex. Don't let the left overcomplicate the Middle East conflict. Hamas is very upfront about their goal: to destroy Israel and wipe it off the map. Why are pro-Palestinian protestors denying this fact?

Ep. 315 — The Middle East Conflict Is Not Complex

Everyone is talking about PragerU’s new short documentary, DETRANS: The Dangers of Gender-Affirming Care, after our takeover on X (formerly Twitter). Dennis reacts to media outrage over the film, which gives a voice to brave detransitioners who were manipulated by social media and pushed by medical professionals to take hormones and undergo surgery only to experience regret. What is so scandalous about DETRANS and is it really “going to get someone killed” as the media suggests? Watch to find out.

Ep. 314 — Media Outrage over DETRANS

From plastic straws to the thermostat in your own home, some people want to control every aspect of your life. America was founded to combat this dark side of human nature that seeks power over others, including what you're allowed to say, do, and even think. But liberty is a value, not an instinct. If we don’t continue to uphold our American ideal of freedom, we may end up losing it.

Ep. 313 — Who Wants to Control Others?

Are there any disadvantages to having a perfectly happy childhood? Life is tough. The earlier you know this, the better. While experiencing an unhappy childhood is far from ideal, there can be an upside. Dennis provides personal stories and reminds us not to feel “traumatized” when life throws difficult things our way.

Ep. 312 — Your Unhappy Childhood Has an Upside

As the war in Gaza rages on, pro-Palestinian sympathizers all over the world (and even in American cities and universities) are blaming Israel for the conflict while chanting, “Gas the Jews!” Dennis debunks the unfounded criticisms against Israel, including the now popular expression, “Palestinian babies are just as precious as Israeli babies.” There is only one side that bears the blame for the blood being shed on both sides of this conflict, and it is not Israel.

Ep. 311 — "Palestinian Babies Are as Precious as Israelis!" Tell That to Hamas.

Over the weekend, Hamas launched the most brutal attack on Israel in the nation’s history. Hundreds of Israelis were brutally tortured, kidnapped, and murdered. Yet some people still try to blame Israel—not the terrorists—for the evils perpetrated against innocent civilians. Dennis explains that the goal of Israel is peace while its enemies seek to exterminate the Jews and wipe Israel off the face of the earth. There is no moral equivalence.

Ep. 310 — Israel Is at War

Now that PragerU is approved for use in schools throughout multiple states across the country, we are under attack from leftist media like never before. Dennis dissects a recent New York Times piece claiming that he is a racist, that PragerU is propaganda, and that PragerU Kids is using Frederick Douglass to rationalize slavery. Are they right?

Ep. 309 — The New York Times Accuses PragerU of Rationalizing Slavery

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joins Dennis for a special discussion about the medical establishment, the CIA, climate change, and more. From hot-button topics and “crazy conspiracy theories” to issues on war, government, and culture, Dennis seeks clarity over agreement as he asks RFK, Jr. thoughtful questions to find out where he stands.

Ep. 308 — Dennis Prager and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Does God want us to have correct theology, perform rituals, participate in worship, or is there something else that’s more important in God’s eyes? Dennis has a theory about what God values above all else and provides six reasons why he came to this conclusion. Read Dennis’s entire argument in his column, “What Does God Most Care About?”

Ep. 307 — What Does God Care About Most?

About half of Americans ages 18-39 cannot identify Auschwitz or any other Nazi death camp, even though most can probably explain preferred pronouns, intersectionality, racism, and sexism. So, why aren’t most students learning anything of importance? Dennis provides three reasons why today's young people are not being taught about real evil.

Ep. 306 — People Don’t Know Real Evil

If religion is supposed to produce good people, how can we explain religious people who are bad? Can we judge an entire religion based on its flawed and imperfect believers? After all, religion is not magic. It’s not a silver bullet and it doesn’t automatically make you happy, holy, or good. But, Dennis argues, religion does make you a better person if you want to be a better person.

Ep. 305 — How Can We Explain Bad Religious People?

What does it mean when God says about Adam and Eve, “It is not good for the man to be alone”? Many people, including Christians who share the same faith, have different points of view. Dennis responds to a pastor’s critique and shares his thoughts about whether God alone is sufficient.

Ep. 304 — Is God Alone Sufficient?

Hurricane Hilary descended upon Southern California this week, as media hysteria and alerts of “life-threatening floods” sent residents into a panic. Nearly everyone complied with instructions to shelter in place, even though one look outside would have assured any rational person there was nothing to fear. Dennis discusses this perplexing behavior and asks why people trust the government and the media more than their own eyes.

Ep. 303 — The California Hurricane Freak-Out

A recent study from the CDC reports that suicide is at an all-time high. Dennis dives into the three explanations from “the experts” as to why this is and provides his own analysis of the real problems behind this troubling statistic.

Ep 302 — Why Is Suicide at an All-Time High?

A viewer in Africa writes a thoughtful and difficult question to Dennis: Why believe in a God that allows horrible things to happen? Watch to see how Dennis responds to the idea that an all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful God allows us to suffer without offering any help. His answers may surprise you and might even challenge your own understanding of God.

Ep 301 — Where Is God in Tragedy?
