Fireside Chat with Dennis Prager

Ep. 321 — Dennis and His Son on Addiction and Hitting Rock Bottom

After recording this episode, Dennis suffered a serious back injury following a fall. He is currently in the hospital receiving treatment. We will keep you informed of his condition. In the meantime, Dennis welcomes the healing power of your prayers.
On November 5, the American people made their collective voices heard. In a historic election, an overwhelming majority rejected woke leftism and reelected Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. Join Dennis as he unpacks the election results, answers your questions about the differences between fascism, socialism, and communism, and offers practical insights on observing the Sabbath.


Ep. 367 — America's Historic Election: Dennis Reacts

A government agency recently raided a man’s home and seized his pet squirrel, Peanut. When anonymous bureaucrats with too much power can swoop in and take away a pet, it raises a serious question: how much control should government have over our personal lives?

Ep. 366 — Government Gone Nuts: RIP, Peanut the Squirrel

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) now allows extra time for test-takers with mental and psychological disabilities. Is this compassionate, or could lowering the bar in fields like medicine and law lead to the dumbing down of America’s doctors and lawyers? As well-intentioned but misguided affirmative action policies shift professional requirements, who ultimately suffers? Plus, Dennis answers your questions about risking grades to stand up for truth, Jesus, Halloween, and preferred pronouns.

Ep. 365 — Who Suffers When Standards Drop?

This week, Dennis reacts to Donald Trump handing out fast food orders at a McDonald’s drive-thru and answers your questions about God, America’s two-party system, and whether the Internet is a tool of Satan.

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

Ep. 322 — Want a Winning Year? Do This.

More and more American couples are opting to become DINKs—double income, no kids. After all, they’ll enjoy more freedom and have more money if they choose not to have children. But is there something more to life that DINKs are missing? Dennis provides insight, shares his “3 Mirrors Theory,” and answers your questions.
