- 332 - Ep. 329 — Can Fear Be a Good Thing?
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?
Thu, 22 Feb 2024 - 32min - 331 - Ep. 328 — Pleasantly Surprised by Taylor SwiftThu, 15 Feb 2024 - 33min
- 330 - Ep. 327 — Does the Media Shape Your Views?
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.
Thu, 08 Feb 2024 - 36min - 329 - Ep. 326 — Your Pilot Is a DEI Hire. Good Luck!
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?
Thu, 01 Feb 2024 - 33min - 328 - Ep. 325 — You Know Who Wasn't Colorblind? Nazis.
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.
Thu, 25 Jan 2024 - 33min - 327 - Ep. 324 — One of the Best Arguments for Why God Is Necessary
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.
Thu, 18 Jan 2024 - 29min - 326 - Ep. 323 — DINKs' Biggest Mistake
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.

- 324 - Ep. 321 — Dennis and His Son on Addiction and Hitting Rock Bottom
This special Fireside Chat features Dennis’s adopted son, Aaron Prager, and his remarkable story of overcoming alcoholism and substance abuse. Aaron talks to his father about meeting his biological mother (who shared his love of alcohol and drugs), the emotional and irrational nature of addiction, his new podcast, and the journey of finding his own identity.
Thu, 28 Dec 2023 - 51min - 323 - Ep. 320 — They Hate Your Christmas Joy. Let’s Have More of It!
Bring on the Christmas cheer! Even as a devout Jew, Dennis has always loved the Christmas season. But, in recent years, Christmas joy is on the decline, as leftism and secularism invade every aspect of American culture. How do we fight back against those who want to steal our joy? We celebrate even harder!

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 - 32min - 322 - Ep. 319 — The Best Place to Lose Your Moral Compass
Why are anti-Zionist demonstrations marching through major American cities? Why do young people hate Israel and sympathize with Hamas? Look no further than our universities, where the left has taught an entire generation not to not to judge good and evil, but to judge rich and poor, strong and weak, white and nonwhite. If you can't tell the difference between good and evil in the Middle East, your ability to ascertain morality has been destroyed.

- 320 - Ep. 317 — America First Does Not Mean America Only
As wars in Israel and Ukraine rage on, some Americans are advocating that we take care of our own problems before involving ourselves in foreign affairs. However, if we hold ourselves to that standard, we will never help any other country because there will always be problems at home. Is that really how America should lead the world?

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 - 27min - 319 - Ep. 316 — Ask Your Family This Question at Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is the most universal of American holidays. How could you be more inclusive than giving thanks? Dennis reflects on this meaningful holiday, why it’s been under attack in recent years, and reminds us how important gratitude is. After all, you can’t be good, and you can’t be happy if you’re not grateful.

- 317 - Ep. 314 — Media Outrage over DETRANS
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.
Thu, 09 Nov 2023 - 30min - 316 - Ep. 311 — "Palestinian Babies Are as Precious as Israelis!" Tell That to Hamas.
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.
Fri, 03 Nov 2023 - 31min - 315 - Ep. 313 — Who Wants to Control Others?
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.
Thu, 02 Nov 2023 - 34min - 314 - Ep. 312 — Your Unhappy Childhood Has an Upside
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.
Thu, 26 Oct 2023 - 31min - 313 - Ep. 310 — Israel Is at War
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.
Thu, 12 Oct 2023 - 32min - 312 - Ep. 309 — The New York Times Accuses PragerU of Rationalizing Slavery
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 he is a racist, PragerU is propaganda, and PragerU Kids is using Frederick Douglass to rationalize slavery. Are they right?
Thu, 05 Oct 2023 - 26min - 311 - Ep. 308 — Dennis Prager and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
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.
Thu, 28 Sep 2023 - 1h 32min - 310 - Ep. 307 — What Does God Care About Most?
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?”
Thu, 21 Sep 2023 - 28min - 309 - Ep. 306 — People Don’t Know Real Evil
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.
Thu, 14 Sep 2023 - 31min - 308 - Ep. 305 — How Can We Explain Bad Religious People?
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.

- 306 - Ep. 303 — The California Hurricane Freak-Out
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.

- 304 - Ep 301 — Where Is God in Tragedy?
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.
Thu, 10 Aug 2023 - 30min - 303 - Ep. 300 — PragerU Is Now in Schools with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit
We have a lot to celebrate in this special 300th Fireside Chat! PragerU CEO Marissa Streit joins Dennis to share BIG NEWS: PragerU is now in schools as an official state-approved education vendor. We are working to bring PragerU’s free, turnkey lesson plans to classrooms nationwide. Mainstream media outlets are outraged over the news, and we’ve received an explosion of press.

- 301 - Ep. 298 — CDC Using "Pregnant People"
Now that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using the term “pregnant people” and denying one of the most basic and fundamental biological truths that women (not men) give birth, how can we trust the CDC about anything? Plus, Dennis answers viewers’ questions about dating, grief, and a perplexing verse of the Bible.
Thu, 20 Jul 2023 - 30min - 300 - Ep. 297 — Our Broken Culture Is Getting Worse (A.I. Isn't Helping)
American society is producing children who are selfish, ungrateful, and lazy. Many adult children refuse to speak to their parents, most of whom are completely undeserving of such cruelty. Now, with the introduction of artificial intelligence, kids are cheating at school and depriving themselves of learning. Dennis examines these worsening problems in our culture and asks if knowing how to write an essay, use a camera, or drive a stick shift car will become lost arts of the past, as modern technology is making learning obsolete.
Thu, 13 Jul 2023 - 29min - 299 - Ep. 296 — America Needs American Values
Days after the 4th of July, Dennis reflects on the meaning of patriotism at a time when we may not feel proud of the direction America is headed. Despite these feelings, however, we raise the flag for the values it represents—the American Trinity inscribed on every U.S. coin: Liberty, In God We Trust, and E Pluribus Unum. We must restore these values if America is to remain the last best hope of Earth.
Thu, 06 Jul 2023 - 31min - 298 - Ep. 295 — My One Regret
This week, Dennis reads two very different letters: one from a fan who attributes Dennis with improving his life, the other from Arizona State University faculty, accusing Dennis of bigotry and hate. Sadly, many people who should hear what Dennis has to say never will because of false accusations like this, and that may be the biggest regret of his life.
Thu, 29 Jun 2023 - 33min - 297 - Ep. 294 — Europe vs. America Today
Dennis recently visited Eastern Europe and instead of wanting to kiss the ground upon his return home (as he always had in the past), a different thought crossed his mind. With LGBTQ “pride” taking over American culture, we have lost an innocence in our society that is still present in other parts of the world. What can we learn from comparing our beloved America—the last best hope of Earth—to Europe today?

- 295 - Ep. 292 — Want Joy? Prepare For Pain.
This week, Dennis reminds us you cannot have a rich life without pain. He then answers a difficult question about abortion, inspiring his wife to spontaneously share her personal experience of nearly aborting her son 13 weeks into the pregnancy. Don’t miss the powerful discussion in this unique Fireside Chat.
Thu, 08 Jun 2023 - 30min - 294 - Ep. 291 — Pride Month: Why Do We Do This?
This month is LGBTQ Pride Month. But viewing people through the lens of sexual orientation, race, religion, or any group at all is not beneficial to society. The left demands that radical ideologies not only be tolerated but also celebrated. Long ago, Dennis learned there are only two groups of people in the world and it has influenced his life ever since.

During a recent discussion with Jordan Peterson, Dennis made comments about porn that made the rounds on the Internet. During this week's Fireside Chat, Dennis provides clarity and addresses his stance on porn, lust, and adultery. He also reflects on the passing of our beloved Fireside Chat companion, Otto.
Thu, 27 Apr 2023 - 31min - 288 - Ep. 285 — Crime, Looting, and Fatherlessness
A Walmart was looted in Chicago. How many of the looters—mostly young black men—have fathers in the home or attended church the previous Sunday? Dennis believes there’s a crisis among young blacks in America and it’s not caused by poverty or lack of opportunity. He offers a simple—though controversial—solution: fathers in the home and a Father in Heaven.

- 286 - Ep. 283 — This Is What Happens in Dictatorships
For the first time in American history, a former president was indicted and arrested. Whether you like him or not, the implications for the future of our country are disastrous. Reading from his column, "Could It Happen Here? It Is Happening Here," Dennis explains why we should all be concerned.
Thu, 06 Apr 2023 - 29min - 285 - Ep. 282 — A Mental Health Crisis and the Death of God
Dennis addresses the tragic shooting at a Christian school in Nashville. Are guns the problem? Or is the real crisis today the death of God and religion, the lack of fathers, and the resulting rise of mental health issues?

Dennis recently asked Jordan Peterson, “Do we ever really know someone until they're tested?” Dr. Peterson responded without hesitation. In this episode, Dennis offers a few commonsense questions to test yourself and answers questions about the Bible, sharing conservative values in the workplace, and “gender-affirming care.” Plus, watch to find out Jordan Peterson’s answer!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 - 32min - 283 - Ep. 280 — Why Do You Still Trust Them?
Climate activist Greta Thunberg deleted a tweet from 2018 warning that humanity would be wiped out “unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.” Here we are, five years later, and the world didn’t end. If the “experts” were wrong about climate change, what else are they wrong about, and why are we still listening to them?
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 - 28min - 282 - Ep. 279 — If Nothing Is Horrific, Life Is Terrific
Life is difficult—that’s not a complaint; it’s just a fact. Once you understand that, the happier you’ll be. Parents do a disservice when they try to make life easier for their children. Instead, they should help their kids build up the strength to withstand life's difficulties (not feel oppressed at minor offenses).
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 - 31min - 281 - Fireside Chat Ep. 277 — Ukraine: Should the U.S. Be Involved?
This week marks one year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Many people (including some whom Dennis admires) criticize America’s involvement in the conflict. Dennis, always preferring clarity to agreement, unpacks common objections like helping a corrupt country and caring about Ukraine’s borders when we don’t protect our own. Hear what Dennis has to say.
Thu, 23 Feb 2023 - 29min - 280 - Fireside Chat Ep. 278 — If They Can Scare You, They Can Control You
Every tyrannical regime used fear to control its subjects—because that’s the only way people will willingly give up their freedom. And they do. It has happened throughout history and is now happening in the last place it ever should: America. Dennis offers advice and takes some of your questions.
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 - 30min - 279 - Fireside Chat Ep. 276 — Experts, the CDC, Lockdowns, and Depression
Experts now say the COVID lockdowns and school shutdowns went too far. A new report from the CDC claims 1 in 3 teen girls are suicidal. Could these issues be related? It's no surprise to Dennis. After all, he always said, "the lockdowns are the greatest mistake in human history.” Experts at the CDC have advice for how to treat this mental health crisis, but should we listen to them or have they lost credibility?

Dennis discusses how children are being harmed, sexualized, and robbed of innocence, even by well-intentioned adults. He shares his thoughts on a recent “All Ages” drag show at the LA Zoo and PragerU’s campaign to protect children’s innocence.
