Dennis shares his thoughts on surprisingly insightful lyrics by Taylor Swift, the “black national anthem” being sung at the Super Bowl, and what a parent should do with a defiant teen.

Hour 1

Fireside Chat with Dennis Prager

Ep. 328 — Pleasantly Surprised by Taylor Swift

In this week's bittersweet episode, Dennis interviews the owner of “Megan’s Arm,” a longtime staple of the Fireside Chat, before she leaves California and starts a new chapter as a future homesteader and homeschooler on the other side of the country. Watch this heartwarming conversation, as Dennis and Megan take a trip down memory lane and share behind-the-scenes stories you won’t want to miss.

Ep. 338 — Dennis Says Goodbye to Megan and Her Arm

Iran’s unprecedented direct attack on Israel should make it clear who aims to commit genocide in the Middle East. Israel, unlike Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, seeks only to live in peace. For the sake of the survival of the human race, we must have moral clarity when it comes to the battle of good vs. evil. Plus, Dennis answers your questions on Mormonism, parenting, and whether we can have hope for the future.

Ep. 337 — Iran Attacks Israel

Dennis just filmed another series with Jordan Peterson and The Daily Wire about the four gospels of the New Testament. What does Dennis—a religious Jew—have to say about Judeo-Christian values and the future of America? Plus, Dennis answers your questions about what stocks to invest in, Riley Gaines, and the radical trans agenda.

Ep. 336 — This Is What’s Driving the Death of the West

According to a high school teacher, a student’s statement that “only women menstruate” is merely an opinion. Why are we told to “follow the science” but then mandated to ignore basic biology? As common sense takes a backseat to subjectivity, we are witnessing the death of truth in our culture. What are the implications for society when everything—from gender to the Hamas attacks of October 7—is a matter of opinion?

Ep. 335 — Gender and the War on Common Sense

Why don’t people fight obvious evils? If you can’t tell that Hamas is as evil as the Nazis were, it is because you refuse to do so. It’s easy to identify evil decades after the atrocities of the Nazis, Stalin, and Mao. The trick is to call out evil while it’s happening. You have a moral obligation to do so.

Ep. 334 — Hamas, Nazis, and Calling Out Evil

How would you feel if your surgeon, pilot, or lawyer was an affirmative action hire? Society’s obsession with race and gender at the expense of merit is hurting us all. Dennis explores how this destructive policy is not only unfair but also erodes trust and competence in vital professions, where qualifications should matter most.

Ep. 333 — Affirmative Action Is Humiliating

When asked about hell, Pope Francis recently said, “I like to think hell is empty. I hope it is.” Dennis disagrees. But why? Later, Dennis takes your questions about helping friends with mental health issues and the effects of social media on kids.

This week, Dennis answers your questions. How do you choose a career path, not screw up a relationship, or tell a friend they’re being manipulated by the media? Plus, how did Dennis transform from being an unhappy child to a genuinely happy person? Don’t miss Dennis’s life advice for the next generation.

Ep. 331 — Q&A: Life Advice for the Next Generation

How many people blame trauma for their issues in life? Everyone faces hardships, but you should never let your struggles define you—even if you become paralyzed from the neck down. The issue in life is not what happens to you; it’s how you react to it.

Ep. 330 — Is Trauma Restricting Your Life?

Dennis often tells us not to live in fear, but can fear ever be a good thing? In today’s society, a lack of healthy respect for authority has led to a terrifying rise in destructive and disrespectful behavior. According to the wisdom of the Bible, there are two important fears we should embrace. Can you guess what they are?

Ep. 329 — Can Fear Be a Good Thing?

When a friend from New York City called Dennis in concern about a California storm, it raised questions about the media’s impact on our perception and behavior. As the media constantly tries to instill fear and make us panic, Dennis reminds us to trust our own eyes over blindly accepting what we’re told.

Ep. 327 — Does the Media Shape Your Views?

United Airlines set an aggressive diversity goal for their pilot training academy: at least 50% will be women or people of color. Shouldn’t the only requirement be competence? As a frequent flyer, Dennis has never looked at a female pilot and wondered if she’s qualified to fly a plane. But as airlines prioritize DEI quotas over our safety, is there cause for concern?

Ep. 326 — Your Pilot Is a DEI Hire. Good Luck!

The New England Patriots have their first black coach in the team’s history. While the owner said he doesn’t see color and picked “the best man” for the job, the new coach immediately contradicted him by saying, “If you don’t see color, you can’t see racism.” In an era where colorblindness is vilified, Dennis provides a much-needed perspective. After all, if the Nazis had been colorblind, there never would have been the Holocaust.

Ep. 325 — You Know Who Wasn't Colorblind? Nazis.

How do you act when no one is around? Does your behavior change if you think you’re being watched? The answer to these questions is one of the strongest arguments for why God is necessary. No matter what you believe about God’s existence, don’t miss Dennis’s rational, commonsense argument about God’s necessity.

Ep. 324 — One of the Best Arguments for Why God Is Necessary

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.

Ep. 323 — DINKs' Biggest Mistake
