Hi everybody Dennis Prager Fireside chats for whatever reason Snoopy, who showed up, maybe all the attention Otto gets my beloved Nato has finally registered on Snoopy. On the other hand, he also is getting a rub, whereas Otto does not need a rub to be present anyway. Now you ve had a chance to meet. Snoop got to be with you. This is a chance every week. This is what number one hundred and ninety by the way. You know what that proves that this is number one nine b I want to share with you something that's the beauty of the fireside chats spontaneity. What one of the beauties.

It's the one hundred and nine the addition of the fireside chats. It proves something that every young person should be thought very early: the power of habits, the power of repetition, of doing. something regularly, I guess that's just another way of saying abbot you get so much accomplished, not by doing a ton at one time, but by doing something regularly. Good habits are really sort of the essence of a good life. A hundred and nine the fireside chats is alot of fireside. Chats but

Obviously I have two hundred and ninety weeks to do it, but I did it every week. It was a habit and it remains one anyway, just a thought for you great to be with you, I always open, I think, always always open with a topic, and then I take your questions. A few weeks ago did a fireside chap, in which I analyzed a video of John Oliver. What does he consider late? My comment is that correct with his anti Israel diatribe on his show, it was a particularly intellectually shallow and morally shall

appearance in my opinion- and I reacted to point by point with my own points and said repeatedly. I would love to debate John Oliver about the Middle EAST. after all, if you use your large audience to say certain things you should morally, you are bound to defend it. I encountered, and everything I say, and if someone challenges media with debate who has an equivalent to one it's mine, I don't mean some guys are right on the internet. Are preferable, debate me and they have four hundred and sixteen followers, but but some. hey who has their own show or or their own column whatever. I would love to debate them on anything that I have said

No, I said what does it mean debate me and I'm a very courteous to people that I debate, as my radio show. Thirty five years bears testimony to I said I would go anywhere, I would pay the expense I would I he could juices own moderator, his own city, anything good as city and, of course I got no responses. I predicted he won't

bake me. The reason that I raised the issue with this is really important avenue to understanding the left. They almost never debate and they almost never debate because they cannot live with intellectual opposition left wing. Thinking is feelings. Feelings cannot go up against facts and logic. It's all emotion, its old negative off. Hate filled, emotion, but that's all it is it's all its ever been the left doesn't debate the left smears if you differ with them, you're a racist. You are what I called

many years ago. Six Herbert S, eye acts, HIV sexist intolerance info become a form of Islamophobia, racist, bigoted. The list is much longer today, but that was the list twenty years ago. You were all these things, so we don't debate you. We just label you that that has done ever since Lenin in the russian Revolution. That is all they have done. They don't debate you, especially those of you who are younger, just need to know this The reason they don't want to set your campuses is that they are afraid that if students hear us for an hour and a half, they will change their minds and their right. That is a very legitimate fear, because

as a left wing ideas at La America is founded on racism that America is founded, and, fourthly, the of the American Revolution to perpetuates labour. that America's systemically racist, that block send women and people of color are all persecuted in the this is all false, of course, racism in the United States. That is like saying that there's there's something bad in every human being. Of course there is of so what

does that. Does that mean that America is racist, Anti Semitism in the United States, but it's not an anti semitic country. I say this is a Jew was written a book on Anti Semitism. They won't debate us because they can't debate us and deep down. They know it. So what they do is they talk people into believing? Why would we will debate racists? Well, I'll. Tell you one reason to prove that were raised Would that be a great opportunity? She John Oliver doesn't know anything about the Middle EAST. Nothing, I am. I am totally convinced of it. And so he knows he would never debate me on the Middle EAST and by the way, he's right

what I said he won't debate me. I was a sure of that, as I was that the sun would rise in the east the next day, but you need to know this when they, when they have cancelled culture its because the so afraid that people will become aware of what we have to say, whether it about us about Iver, Mechlin or whether it is about systemic racism or police brutality or every one of their subjects. They know deep down that day. Don't have an intellectual and moral like to stand up and that then, but that they do, is they convinced themselves, not that they're afraid to debate us, but that is no reason to. But of course, this reason too. We are certain that we're right as they are, that their ripe were totally open to debating why's, that why are we open

in debating the left. But the left is not open to debating us. because we know that will win when in the sense of a t kayo, or a knock out or were split decision and a boxing match. But in the sense that with people here both sides, our side will make more sense and have more facts Charles and blow rights rights eight filled columns about America every time. He writes a column in the New York Times he's patiently. written, run one column five hundred times About how evil America is, how whites are just spectacular, Lee Racist Woody Debate, Larry Elder, I would pay ten thousand dollars digit to Charles blow to the bank Larry Elder a black conservative. He would never debate Larry Elder. It would end his career. He would look

the food. That is mainly one left wing me your times columnist who, with debate anybody with Thomas Friedman, debate me. I would pay him ten thousand dollars to debate. This this is this is the way it is. They just smear and care So now you know why that should tell you something they are afraid of us. Intellectually, they have every right to be okey. Doke Oak, Duke, let's go to question number one.

not yes. The video question allow my name is run a dear I'm eighteen years old and on from Gilbert Arizona Dennis. I was just curious to know what your thoughts are on their way feminism and obviously we all believe that men and women are equal when it comes to opportunity, but when it comes to biology and work ethic, I was just curious to know what your thoughts are an area all right. Thank you, okay, so brief! I could do we should do, maybe one on feminism, but first of all I don't know how third way feminism differs from second wave or first wave. I am not cute. I really dont know into what is the intellectual difference? What the ideological different,

but anyway whatever it is? Maybe it's just a chronological statement rather than a and ideological statement, so I am a lot of problems with feminism. I don't have a problem with the idea that men and women are equal before God and before the law that such a given to me that I don't even think that time needs to be spent on it, the Anthea, the capacities of both the sexes are are essentially the same. You know what I learned this. Interestingly, I don't have a sister, so I I I didn't grow up with the with girls in my life, but I I've always been a music lover and some of you know

Conduct orchestras periodic Lambert involved in music and I'll. Never forget this. When this was transformative, I used to listen to the classical music station where I grew up in New York City, and they once did did something on one of their programmes where they had music critics listen to recordings and then react to them. So they decided to do with experiment. They had the same exact, piano, peace, Outermost Beethoven, whatever bath, and they had, let's say five versions. and they would ask the panel- and these were- these- were professional music listener critics. tell us if this is a male or female pianist and it was absolutely zero. I couldn't tell they couldn't tell, and these people listen for a living and they they can

here, the O. Every new wants in the interpretation of a piano peace. Am I realise that was a very I was in high school and I realized TAT the capacities of the two sexes of other saying that the capacity for every single Obviously there there are ways in which women and men differ and thank God they do. I'll give you a give you the obvious, is physical, ok, but putting physical aside, here's an interesting difference. I believe- and I think most couples with a child would acknowledge this. The woman is much more likely to awaken if the baby whispers. She marvels at the fact that he could sleep through it and he Marvel said the fact that it woke up. Am I right Rodrigo yeah rhetoric,

We always a is new leaf, fathered and Is probably living exactly what I'm saying I suspect when you're Baby you're you're out to the world and your wife is out there like Cape Kennedy, the woman right exactly I mean there are differences, but their capabilities that that is largely speaking. Pretty

you're, not issue. Ok, so everyone with a brain has accepted not just the brain. Everyone who, who is clear thinker, wants to be a clear think of their people with brains and don't think clearly knows that the sexes are equal, but they're not the same by the way. Thank God there not the same. It is one of the delights of life that we differ in more than just biology of of the body, but their feminism didn't teach that men and women were the same, and that has played havoc with both sexes, because on the one hand they taught that so, for example, they,

old young women for the last fifty years that they should pursue career just like men do and that will bring them happiness, but it has not brought a lot of women happiness when that fifty they call my radio show and they have great careers, but no husband and no children. They don't call up to tell me how happy they are. Not always leaving the room. I hereby Rodrigo you wanna were allowed the star of the show believe part to say why he's leaving. A lot of what we there were there, he music is there. We have pre, show excitement for him. That is correct. The Prager you giant version of Otto was here and it's spooked him.

So telling young women career will bring, you happiness was not was not wise. It bring some people happiness, but not most, not as much as a and take terms of women as a husband and and a family as difficult as husbands and families are because human being so difficult and another thing that feminism told women when it told them that they were the same, was that their sexual drive is similar to that of a man and that just like men are very happy to have non committed. Non committal, be essentially emotion, free sex so to women, and you can go from partner to partner. Just like men do and you will love it when I'll most women, don't love it just the way it is some women do is no question, but,

women do not. It is not in keeping generally with their nature, so feminism that a lot of damage and its them damage in another way. The. Session with me. To now I have RO. Not only do I not defend sexual harassment, let alone sexual assault, which is evil, but I actually haven't engaged in it. which is pretty remarkable for a man of my age, going back to a time when it was more common, but I always thought it was wrong to to say something inappropriate to women and especially in a in in a work atmosphere. I just I just assume that boy in any event, it's gone. It's gone too far, where men now young women are telling me this men are afraid, We ask a woman out too, as we were

say in my time. Maybe they still pick up a woman at Starbucks now, because I'll tell you why they are told, it was an unwanted advance. Well, a man! No, if an advance is want it or not, until he makes it he doesn't over. Wanted her one wanted now wants its unwanted, its unwanted, but nevertheless I am not talking about physical action. I'm talking about just starting. A pickup conversation, but men men are now afraid to do that, and it's not because they're all women There are a lot of wimpy men, but that's not the reason it's because they they have reason to fear that they may well be charged not of meaningless. We legally, but

morally, in and in every other way, with all will made want unwanted answers, and indeed the woman may even mention about twitter. Who knows so. That's gone, that's gone too far, and finally I charge feminism with not really caring about women. I've said this or I've said this. My whole life that

feminism is much more aunt. I mean that it is pro woman and I've. Never change my mind on that one, but one example of not being per woman is that I know of no feminist movement. I know feminists, but I know of no feminist movement that has come out in defence of girls in high schools who have to compete against biological, males who say their female in sports. This not anti transgender. The typical example of the left not debating but smearing to say that the biological women should only compete against biological women is not anti trans. It is pro fairness. It is pro decency and it is pretty woman. No feminist organization has come out in defence of these women

At the Tokyo Olympics, which are scheduled, whether thou happen or not, I don't know, but New Zealand is apparently going to be sending a trans. A trans woman that is a biological male, identifies a woman in the weight lifting competition, the most obvious arena where men have built in advantage, and so a biological man will be lifting heavyweights against biological women who cannot lift the same weight as bait. Males can is that fair? Of course, it's not fair, I'm tempted to say you have to go to college to think it was fair, which is probably true.

which tells you something about what college those to the brain. Okay and dress a forty one, Boston, Massachusetts identity. What am I sort of fifth great friends came out as gay to her teachers and some classmates the teachers embraced her encourage the classmates to make the girl feel comfortable. Let her skin all seems well intended until you find out the parents are being kept in the dark about it. What are your thoughts? Love the fireside chats. Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, there's a lot of issues here. First of all, it is mind boggling that the parents are being kept out of it, but but it is not surprising see the undermining of parental authority is one of the major features of all cults and and leftism unlike liberalism, and unlike conservatism, is occult and one of the first things they do is break parental authority.

they give it to the state. This is a perfect example that the teacher did not feel morally obligated to tell the parents. Your fifth grade daughter is announcing to everyone that she's gay. But that raises another issue was well fifth: fifth graders knowing that they're gay? I don't know it's an interesting question, a lot of gay friends, I'm going to ask them that you know in fifth grade in fifth grade. Do you know if you're heterosexual in fifth grade, do you think about heterosexuality and homosexuality or is it that in? our age where these issues are discussed so early on, the innocence of children is compromise so early. This has now become more common, which is what I think. Often the issue is.

Jail in seventeen hours Park, Michigan Dennis, are recent, I just started watching your show after seeing adds of them on Youtube. My question to you is: why do you think people decide to choose the left. Even though they divide our country and spread corruption, which is all true, also pineapple on pizza. Thank you asked to pineapple on pizza. My wife likes it. I thought it was inevitable and then I had it like it so as to ask. As regards the first part, what was that about? Oh, yes, one people choose the left. The left is the

false position. You know you know like this: a default mon on your computer there's a default mode in society. If you don't think issues through and just feel, you will probably be on the left. That is the way it works. For example, let the government take care of people is a very very nice proposition. It sounds right, correct all at the government feed people. pay for their health care, pay for their college. Education pay for everything in their lives, pay for their children's lunches and breakfast and school. This sounds without thinking it sounds moral and beautiful and compassionate so the default position for those who feel is going to always be left there's another reason: people prefer to be taken care of to liberty in that

voice, between being free and taking care of yourself or less free or on free and having the state take care of you. Most of humanity will choose to have the state they care of them and give up freedom. There's no question. Liberty is a value, not an instinct. That's why there are very few free countries, but there are very many countries of the government's that's the default position of the human species. Take care of me I'll, give you my freedom

So what leftism, for very many reasons, is the default all right. Let's see here wow twelve year old, Rockville Maryland Mica. How can you the feet? The left in an argument of conservative arguments based on reasoning and logic, while left wing arguments are based on emotion and feelings. You can defeat them, but they won't debate that was ironically, that was my opening statement. It it's not hard at all, but if they dont debate, that's very hard, the feed I mean they emit debate if they dont debate, Zion, twenty six Pulaski Tennessee and almost a prey, or in a couple of your more recent fireside chats. You have mentioned that you not agree with the idea of unconditional love. Correct in support of your view. You reference

condition between God and man to accept the sun in order to obtain eternal life. I don't recall using that example I might have, but I'm not christian, I'm jewish and belief, and pro Christian, very much so was probably but I don't know- I don't remember using that particular example- I've always heard God loves the sinner or not the sin. Yeah. Ok! So gods, love. Does God love? require our acceptance of his son. Or does God love us? No matter, What is an is willing to most make a receipt? So maybe I didn't use that may be speaking about Christians cuz. I don't even think Christians should believe in unconditional love. I don't I don't know what the biblical basis of it is. I don't know what the logical basis of it is. I don't know what the moral basis of it is. If, if love- is given unconditionally. Then love has been removed from moral considerations. It has become the

only a moral act in life. That's what you're saying There is no moral quality, the love, no matter how despicable cruel, vile. You are, I love you just as much as I love the kind that means love. As no more quality to it. It's bizarre to me just bizarre you Don't you think it's an ideal to love torturers as much as as as as mother Teresa Eyed, and I don't get it Am I mean it? I dont get it it's not a matter of pipe. Early or rhetorical device, I don't get it. It is better to love the kind, it's a moral ideal to love the kind. It's Michael leaks. What to me the idea that God is in Heaven and the sword. Like an air, conditioner air conditioners or a moral right there,

In addition, the room, if a Hitler walks in and they condition the room with her mother Teresa Watson, correct right. So that is how people lose think of God's unconditional love to me, are speaking about God. He just blows his love onto everybody. Equally, it is irrelevant how people treat other people. I don't know where that's from by the way, if you check it is very interesting, Google has a fascinating. The graph on the use of terms in books, and magazines and newspapers in the course of the last hundred years, from the beginning of the twentieth century, under twenty years. and I looked up unconditional love and the graph goose like like this, so it virtually nothing. Nineteen hundred virtually thing, then a little climate a little climb and after the nineteen fifty cents, it's like a mountain. They use-

the term unconditional love skyrockets after the fiftys, when people became stupid and that's a cracks me up. It's like perfect. The timing is per now what people the joke is, as America got more secular, it spoke more about unconditional, not Got more religious when echo is much more religious at the beginning of the twentyth century. People didn't talk about on conditional on so so for those of you who are religious and think it's a religious idea, unconditional up, conditional love is a secular. Idea that I utterly reject- and that's it but just idea that I utterly reject the No, I don't know exactly how God figures out whom he loves or not, but it's very hard. Meta believe that God looks upon people who. Massacre other human beings. I love you, I just I don't I don't. I don't see it.

And your people say by the way people say: well, it's like children. If your children murders, you will still love. You was the love that, if your, if your child murders, he was the love your child well, first of all its on a fully analogous of thing because we are humans and humans are flawed. So I'm not sure that that is a perfect analogy, but even then I'm not sure that it's true there are plenty of parents who have seen behaviour in children and and don't love them quite as much as they did earlier or quite is

such as they love of their good children. Let me put it to you this way if one of your children murders another one of your children hard for me to believe you will love that child, quite as much as you did before, because remember were all gods children, so the person who tortures another person is one child of God, torturing, another child of God. So I'm not even I don't I'm not even sure that the child analogy among humans quite works out their appearance who have given up on their awful children, I mean, doesn't mean that they would welcome them if they come back. God welcomes us. If we do penitence by the way. If God loves me anyway, why be penitent five gods love, while I can t you wanna, kill, rape and murder. Well, that's the same thing: murder, rape and steal. Then why stop

the laws we anyway. I got a lot of arguments against the idea. You know what my favorite verb is. Are we near the end? Are we at the end my favorite verb? Did I ever tell you you know right? Do you know you both know the key word of it all together, You know people, it's very fun thing to do asked. What is your favorite for letter word? Now I mean if you

where's young men, we all know and it so we want even go there. Let's leave out the sexual for a moment, but I think people would say, love right. A lot of people say love, and I would not, I would say, earned earn is a beautiful were I want Learn love, I don't want. I don't want unconditional love from anybody. I don't want it. I don't want it from my kids. I don't want it for my wife, what does that mean no matter how I behave. So if I come home, you know and and and beat up some members of my house old. Or just mistreat every body you will you will of me, the same ip the way? I don't even think it's a good idea. If you think your spouse,

us will love you, no matter how you whacked you're not going to act as well. I think Emotional insecurity is very, very good. I don't want you to be fully secure in the love of people. I'm not fully secure that my my mice indicator. my radios indicator will hire me every time I contract comes up and that's a good thing. Every single day. I think after thirty five years this better be my best shower but my job is on the line. I do better because I don't have an unconditional contract with my with my employer

If on conditional, love is good. Why isn't an unconditional contracted think about that one till next week Dennis Prager thanks for being with me, thank you for watching this video to keep Prager you videos free, please consider making a tax, deductible donation.
