Hour 1

Fireside Chat with Dennis Prager

Fireside Chat Ep. 59 - Gratitude Creates Happiness

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! 


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. 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.
