Hi everybody, and welcome to the two hundred fireside chats. Well, a glance that, for one of my below him out, yes, that is a big visa. Big deal, happier they too ass. Yes, oh, I thought I'd get all three Folks Europe Bureau realise, when we did this in the beginning, we didn't know it would go to number two, let alone two hundred. and now I got I got so much to tell you and then we have the ceo of Prager you as my guest. This is actually a bit First of all, let me do the year. The requested thing go of it evasions arm is now making in appearance.

So I'm Dennis Prager welcome to the fireside chat number two hundred. I always tell the number identified that always have began. Maybe at a hundred. This is a very big deal to me because we reach so many people every week and I haven't missed a week in the. I think it's a two hundred, even if I've gone to other places that, as in this case, I just came back from Hungary and Slovakia and Czech. which I talk about. Another time is very big deal meeting people who watch the fireside chats in Eastern Europe.

So by the way to those of you in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, a special hello, knowing that you watch- and I know one people watch when they mention Otto, then than I know it's for real, some, even mention Snoopy, which is mind boggling. So this is a chance to talk to you about what is, on my mind, is completely spontaneous and then take your questions literally. All over the world, and thank you for watching my guest today is a woman who makes this all possible,

I dont exaggerate when I say that the CEO of Prager you, I want to say something very serious before we start Marisa she's Marisa strike and I have always debated the question: how much does God intervene in our lives are very big believer in God, but I I I don't know if you can know when God intervenes in your life, people say it and they may be right, but I'm very, very, very rational. Why my Bible commentaries called the rational Bible, and so I dont know when something happens, did God intervene or not? But I can say this: if God

it intervene in sending Marisa to me. It sounds very reasonable. It's good assumption, I can say for sure I dont know gods mine, but it's pretty is close as you can get I don't want to embarrass you by just throwing accolades at you, but you know how I value you, how everybody a pregnant you does. So let me let me explain something on the day to day operation of this enormous operation, with a billion plus views ear with eighty five employees and growing constantly to have basically one person overseeing that it's it's a staggering operation. I gotta believe Dahmer Risa that and I am in fact putting words in your mouth

that you feel similarly, the gods sent us to you. I fear so I feel the same way about you personally. You changed my life said the steel before, but I'd love to take the opportunity to say it again, forcible happy birthday, we just celebrated. Your birthday, you have been one of the greatest gift semi, you made me a better wife, a better parent. Now growing Prager you, alongside with you, has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life, one of them It is challenges of my life, but you know no pain, no gain and certainly running Prager. You has been unbelievable gain

and I think we're gonna talk a little bit about the history of programme and some other things that we ve gone through together and- and I have no question that God has played a role and an US building programme, because the miracles that we have experienced are really godsend. Some will show a pretty butcher shewed that view and you like to be very rational, show it's not something you she often, oh God did. God did so. I want to make that clear to to everybody there, anyway, pudding, daughters, looking for a moment, so, let's reminisce a little cause. You will have better memories about this than I, for whatever reason, I am a man and I don't

members of cheese and I'm a woman. I remember every annoying detail, perfect, didn't you! When I meet at a meeting of another group yeah first time we met so and my flower career first I was an educator and after I was an educator, I ran a group called the icy and you are one of the speakers there and I had no idea who you are. I heard you speak. I thought you were brilliant and then I didn't make much of it until a mutual friend of ours. Approached me and asked me if I you know, is one of those typical do up and to know someone we're looking to hire someone who has a background in nonprofit management. Someone who understands the digital space very well and somebody who understands education, and so his name was Roger and in my response to ride it was well. Those are a whole bunch of random sets of skills that I'm not sure. I know anybody, but myself and I do know,

and this Prager is and I'd love the opportunity to meet with, with with Dennis Prager and and Alan Estrogen, the producer of of Europe. Oh Shell, and then I Allen did tell me that the reason you hired me was because both of you start that I was the only person who was not intimidated by the idea of building peace. Israel, but also working with you. You remember that Alan would say that while you certainly not heeded the thank God, but I'm not an intimidating now, but that's a separate issue where I understand, if you only know me from for it might might be so I remember meeting you and being struck by you and I remember saying: are you married right, then I ask you that I think so I I ask every young men and women anywhere in the world. If there

very good? I want them to get married, so I remember that and then I thought, your not moon and a look. I'm gonna look and it shouldn't be too difficult, your brilliant and beautiful man and not a bad combination and by the way, please you could get along with your. I really the banding, thank God employer, but you are easy to get along with any way. Then you soon did. your husband right while we were dating site the time they asked me whether I was married or in only one language, even though we actually know- and I so we are celebrating Preyer Use tenth year- Anna

sorry by yeah yeah and no, I and I are celebrating our tenth here. I never saw a breach of the treaty on the timing is okay. Now, by the way, just for the record, her husband is a terrific human being really adore him. You know I do yeah. I think he knows. I hear he's a very special and masculine, you, know, there's a conversation that we had earlier now. You know why, because we are talking about an inch and another mail, he he won't, he won't handle that will lift. This is the second time in a few weeks ago. Was walked out. I was gonna. Tell you I don't know if you remember us having this conversation when my husband and I were dating, where you asked

whether I was dating or I was married- and my answer to you was that I was very serious about dating hey, I'm, the guy everything I do. I take very seriously I'm one of those people that just I dont do things lightly, and so, when I was single eye dated a lot, I was very specific think about what I was looking for, and I remember saying to you that I approached finding my huh in the same way as I put the same investment as I would put in my career, because person that you're going to end up marrying is going to be the person hopefully you're, going to be with for the rest of your life, and it's going to have more in John you than any career to resume the troll, and so I was a very, very serious there a show, a very curious. Then, if you would have let them give me a list of the three top things you were looking for, the moon values. Generosity- and I really do,

I remember saying to myself: I want a man, who's gonna treat me like a woman. I remember thinking about that interests there. I found it to be a turn off when the male behaved ass. If he was like a like a female workers year, your feminine here, so you want that should before you should this. That knows: mascot yeah, yeah guy picks up about another guy as quickly as a woman does. If the guy's man- that's one, it's one thing, the least for me: it's an immediate response. But I have no, what does it? How did you meet? We met the charity yet well. Actually the long story is we. We actually met on a double date where I was dating someone and he was dating somebody else, and I do remember saying to myself wild that person is a better match for me. And then a few years later we would say

so each other cause. We went on a double date, but I was eating other men. He was eating other women and finally, we were both single and at a holiday. Pretty. I walked up to him and I said hi there can. I have a bite of your don't knock and then the rest there s history. You know overarching great pick up large, learn by me, and I have a bite of your donor- is really up there. So the rest, this is you have how many kids now three. And they're, all under what age my own They are all this is eight on our sun, and then we have to look to our overall section three of a very rich life. Thank idea in every way, on a very happy because we need you badly. So ok, so how did it started? Prager you who interviewed you so

Oh you and Alan interviewed me at a restaurant ripe by your radio station. We had a long judicial village. I you know what I think I can remember. I I make my memory is so crazy, I'm national Day, Mary, let alone you ordered at you ordered a diet coke with. Seven lemons, seven yeah they gave me, I just feel like. I have never asked for seven lemons in my life, if I had seven, they brought her why do we want all these little eliza? I didn't want all those lessons, but I am happy to have him anyway. Go on face the diet, coke and so that Alan sad Can you imagine a classroom the size of thirty five thousand views? That's what he said Oh god, I'm that's how he saw me on Prager you, because you certainly said: you're an educator

and oh July, thirty, five. How would you like to have thirty five thousand students- and I said well that's amazing, because, as an educator of only had maybe forty students in class and Ohio, wow. I love that story and we were very happy with thirty five my guide. We thought my god. Thirty five thousand were watching a video. Well. I went down memory lane and participation in anticipation of coming here and so this was our first prager- university a way as to really go by Prager University. So this is from twenty eleven and by the way we were a total start up. I'm not much of a garage person, so we started in my kitchen, and I used to design all this stuff. I just figured it out because that's what you do when you were in the start up, and so I did the accounting- and

Why did the hiring- and I also did in at one point the graphic, design or further brochures and cells? I kind of look at it and cringe now. I was your first, this is our first for shore. that I made on. I don't know I think of such how many views as a true we have in our first brochure. So I think we should Does it even less than it does so? see you remember. We did the bigger than government, the smaller city jail. You wanna, go. How many were in here? How many of you did? however, no fifty five thousand and we will that Major Richie yeah. We got now fifty fives that if I got we get fifty five thousand views an hour and basically now

if, if cranny release daily reality, we put out the goods fifty five thousand, nothing, nothing, nothing unless it's completely shadow band- and we realise that there is a rather right here. So that's that's fun. We are facing with fifty five million here they are the electoral college. yes, that's! Six! That's correct air! So long! You see that the old love our way. We were told a story, a talk about gods, intervention limiting Ghana, much in God did. But it's your short sounds like it. The jump we made going to graphics from

photos I ask that someday. I mean I don't know why not and we learned so many you I mean this is what you do when you start a visual you learn shows lest the very beginning, the first, maybe thirty, forty videos were exactly what you sheemale five minutes: some wonderful presenter and wonderful material, but photos to accompany it follows we took from the internet because we assumed- and I still assume it frankly, that its when you show something for two seconds three seconds on an educational video when a nonprofit setting what what's what's the problem would go. New Google photos and taking right, although obviously there are common I probably know we origin, realising nine realise so sure enough. One day we get a note,

from a lawyer on behalf of some one in Ireland, grass, who said that's my picture of a dinosaur sign, of which there were probably five hundred exact photos on the idea that how, one gods earth this guy knew what was his photo beats me. So our lawyer said you better, take down every hand or evil now thought any actually went out of business for about two weeks. Nothing was up. If you went to Prager you, you saw nothing and that's when we decided. We have, go to graphics so Dennis that was possibly one of the first best thing. that ever happened to our right and I think one of them lessons. I learn, especially if there are young people out there, you sometimes realize you think you're going through the worst thing in the whole world. You don't realize what a gift that ends up being later on this guy with a bank which send them flowers, because

we we decided to re brand, the entire the look We moved away from the lighthouse model I then load. I remember this is my house logo. We move away from that. We changed we hired affirmed that help us design. Our brand we learned a whole, but about branding and that that was what helped us release become viral. That's right! It was a major major leap in views. Thank thanks to what seemed like a horrible crisis. You take them everything you ve put up with that. That was, there was a big deal, but none of us panicked. I remember that we just calmly shed ok, we're gonna start over here and, thank God we did so.

What what was the beginning like we were at an office and how many employees, when you came on, did you have well when we started, we did. I haven't. We ran the company out of my house and I basically had a computer We had a few independent contractors, our first employee, as when we realise that we cannot use and outside marketing firm and that Prager you in itself makes the not just be a production organization, but needs to be a production and marketing organization. and the philosophy that we had a trigger? You was that for every dollar we spend on production, we should spend at least double on me getting because so many people make amazing content, but problem. Is nobody sees it and if you don't marketed what is really the point so are you see? Is this analogy of imagine buying this incredibly luxurious car, but never pudding,

ass, a lean on it and it never leaves the garage, and so that has our philosophy is our major higher was really Craig. Our chief marketing officer, and when we started moving into that mindset of really Marketing, I would say market the hell out of it: carpet bombed the internet with Prager, you videos, I mean those were kind of the statements that were going around in and so in the beginning? Craig would actually work from my home and eventually we raise enough funds to rent and office space, and then we start getting really serious. Let me play for you the question the video question, because I think it is the perfect time to. we too have to have this post, but my name is Marijuana church, I'm from New Mexico and I'm twenty one years old convention, decisions on the two hundredth episode. My question for you They is, did you ever think that trigger you would get this

an impact so many lives like it has all have so much to say about that, I will, I will cut it by three quarters is obviously I want you to come in. This really goes to the heart of of my own psychological, make up I've a chapter in my in my book unhappiness about not having expectations that has guided a great deal of my happiness. I expect very little from life, it sounds a downer, but you know what an upbeat guy I am so obviously not a downer. It means that every good thing is a pleasant surprise.

Am I I walk around in a bath of gratitude, because I didn't expect anything good to happen. I don't expect bed, I dont have expectations because. How can you you got a y know? I won't be hit by drunk drivers tomorrow. I don't expect to, but I don't expect not to either it it's bad. Things happen to good people. So the answer to two Marilyn's question is no if you'd have said to me, if someone would have said to me when we started Marisa Dennis I'll, tell you you guys, will have a billion views ear. So I I I would have thought somebody just trying to make nice talk. What are you kidding? I would assume from your mouth gods year, airs and have a great day. So you answer the question on your behalf.

my answer is also, I would never imagined, I may think both of us went into this project with a great deal of humility and just knowing that we have to bring a cure. You have a cure for, for the mindset that America in the world is suffering from and we just knew that we had to partake in bringing a solution, but We have our imagined that we'd get many followers, these many views, but there are other thing: The people, I think, don't realize that these amounts the benefits of working with Prager. You, like the staff we have close to many members of our staff and there are the most incredible people I never imagined being able to work with such unbelievably passionate creative freedom loving. It's like a family and virtually everyone really young really young note that to give people hope

yeah. I think it brings a lot of hope and I had this. These are some of the ripples effects of a building programme. things we didn't realize or how many times we make these donors, I never thought I'd need so many unbelief, mobile individuals of people we made through Prager you, unlike our youth forum, like arguing angel like how do you know so generous, so guy, some hair angels, that's a great way of putting it show.

We walk around grateful, so grateful it's it's a high. It's it's, not an ego hi! It's it's it's an idealistic high, but I will tell you Marisa to again go into my own nature. I am and I'm curious you you don't. Obviously you have to have the telling you like a shrinking violet, but I dont know what your response will be, but I think, when I think of Prager you, which is, of course a lot, ninety percent of the time or my own life programme? and all my life, I think of how much I haven't done so watch what about you,

I feel like every year we start our year by saying we were just getting started, cause there's so much more to do. For ten years we didn't do kids content this past year we now launched kids content. Now we're making pricker you, kids, PBS, kids, that's actually good for you, broccoli for your child's brain, and so there is so much more. We can do and people ask me all the time how now getting overwhelmed right. How How are we doing at all how we you know How- and I do Let us see oh mother, of three, the business and I think what they may get through it. Is this incredible sense of gratitude that I have that every moment of my life on spending doing something that I feel it is meaningful and something that I enjoy, and so it's not that it's all rosy were obviously dealing with censorship, big tech, censorship. We have this, massive issue now with news guard that is making all kinds of claims against us

We have all the issues that every other normal business has plus the sabotaging of of big tack, but I think with that, what's helping us get through all this is either results and be the immense sense of gratitude that we're doing something so incredibly rewarding. You know I'm thinking as your speaking here to human beings being human. This would be a great fireside chats for people who have friends or relatives, think Prager. You was awful and bed and reactionary. even worse watch these two who, along with Alan, run the place and tell me they strike you as having a bad agenda, do they strike you as mean it all

I'm so used to being called every name in the book that it has zero impact. In fact, I have to say I'm actually pleased because you can't fight for good things and not be hated it if everyone who fought for good we're loved we wouldn't have to fight for good fight is not in the fight for everybody's good, already So having said that, it is mine, blot boggling that just decent people- and I will say like us like Alan, like Craig like like the whole gang Prager, you were bad were what people defeat. regularly! It's! How do you react with oh you're, all Prager view your haters sought I know how area cover urea. While I learned something really important from you early on witches, don't let the compliments get to my head and though,

the insults get to my head. No, give you hold that get to my heart So I'm very focused untruth and the truth is that we are the tolerant ones. Where are the ones who say? Oh, you know I can sit next to somebody who may not agree with me. I love testing out. I intellectual boundaries. I love talking to somebody who may not agree with me, and so I focus on that and you know, I think, those who judge us and make all kinds of claims against us general don't get to know us, because I can guarantee that any person who actually sit down with you or with me with Alan will not come out with the conclusion that were bad people. It's only the people who don't bother getting to know us and want to. superimpose all these defamatory or terms on us. Those are the people who say poor things about as an end. The truth is there, the intolerant ones and the devil. Cuban example preview dish preview, that we give an example.

You know what is the gathers? What is the the woman Nick Cocoa were Commissar Erika Currency are, is give given the latest Prager you, video and she's a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Anne, and what is it about? Is it about the parent child relations? I think why would a man spirited place, put out a video on how a families can get along better, that there isn't a shred of political agenda in so much of what we do Doktor, Stephen mom or another psychiatrist about how to forgive people gee. That's a hate group well known that Hake groups put our videos on how to we give people are I'll. Give you an amazing story, may remember this. Somebody came out from the New York Times to write a hit piece about ass. This is great

probably one of my favorite stories ever and so It comes out and she spends the weak with us to find out how terrifying hall, but we are now how we're, coming after the mind of America's youth in brainwashing them with right wing, up again to whatever it is. She comes in with spends a week with, by the end of the week, she turns around and says I'm actually just like you guys, Agree with you with almost you know everything you said you guys are incredible people. I can't write a hit piece about you. and so she goes back to the New York Times and tries to get her peace published. On page analyse and the New York Times: won't, let us do it because she didn't right enough bad things about it. Why, and so she comes. back to us in says: well what can I right? That's bad and then they come up. Some tiny little things and then gets at an end, its publicized. We

use the new Yorkers pieces of which we do as a publicity peace. The same thing happened with Mother Jones left major left wing journals, send people to right how bad we are. They meet us, they watch videos and nothing happens- I have a picture of eyeballs it. Mother Jones is that. Does that the picture there, though they did a big artwork about about me and I think Trump who was played no role by the way in any of our videos. Other things things mentioned, for videos and the truth is to know was is too like us, you dont have to agree with everything. We say why, when I don't were you with a lot of the people who make videos? I wonder Am I disagree on so many issues, but there were Ray is where we have agreements. So we have a Harvard law, professor being Dershowitz, give it here

yeah a great moment in in this field. What is more, this is fireside. Chats number two hundred Marisa strike is this. The Eco she's indispensable. It is a very interesting. You don't have the responsiveness you certainly free to, but it is a very I don't have an answer to this. the I have heard the phrase. No one is indispensable. I dont know that that's true. I dont think that its true some people are indispensable. It does it mean that if they they leave the edifice crumbles, but some people are indispensable. It's just the fact and ensure you are indispensable to us. So I just I just thought I throw them. I don't. I don't believe that you are replaceable that does it Obviously, if God forbid, you were hit by a joint driver Prager, you would continue, but it wouldn't

Then you the way it is, you are truly indispensable. So what is it like? I mean I don't I. This is not my field right. I do other things which is the beauty. Everyone knows what he's good at programme because we're routine. There is not an ego in the group. It is a myth I love it. As I always said, there are two types of people, those who want to be stores and those but beyond, all starting. My nature has always. I want to be on all austerity, so what I have no idea what the answer I wouldn't know how to keep eighty five human I'm not gonna. Let me know what you do is I mean. Is it juggling act I mean Hotmail. Is there like dealing crisis management

No idea I mean there is all of that, and there is also running accompanying during this crazy time in the United States with Overhead and all these rules and and media most of our staff is young and their straight out of college, where I hate to say it, but they ve learned very little. They ve learned they have been given. A little skill sat on how to navigate through work. They may have learned how to study and then pass the test bed, anything that requires more than that is something bad is really hard lot of a lot of people that you know oftentimes war, well higher and sell. It's amazing about the prairies staff. Those who stay with us is that they learn very fast and they adapt one point. Glenn back, came and towards our office in so that he wants to send his staff to boot. Camp at Prager Illicit, they learn how to work. You know, I think, we're all figuring out together what it's like. It's it's

really really intense. That's what it's like! It's a lot of fun, it's very meaningful, but everybody works really hard, including myself and How do you find people? Do they apply? Both we ever recruiter, like many businesses will you ruse use are recruited? for higher level positions and then also people right in all the time we have presented a com. There is a section where people can just applauded EU forming the graph recorders, because we could show many compliments on how good deal and they all here same romanian they either apply, or we do were clearly would assume. At this point we get a lot of applications in the the earlier years. It was really hard to find really good talent. and now oftentimes it's hard to choose. We have really good

I bought land, it's hard to choose who do go with which we are very lucky, and this is by the way, definitely and an ploy it's definitely and employees market. So people can pick anywhere they want to work, but people come to Prager you. The benefit is not just the financial gain but it's the it's, the meaning and unity. We work with the people who work with the human being meets kindred spirits have only worker Prager. You have eighty four of them yeah. They are not bowling alone when you're working with very little. That's exactly right So I ask you a toughie you. What do you think? I'm leaving California, Hardest question was: what are you doing to me? I know like together.

by the way I got to say it's a very tough, now tat. We live in a bad place. I hate to say this: I came to California, it was freedoms bill. It's it's pretty unbelievable. What is happening here! It's really hard. If your apparent anyone, arrays kids with good values, you really have to pay a lot of ten of attention to what is going on at home. It's really hard to grow a business here because it only a hostile environment towards people who run businesses. I can make a really solid argument to stay and I can make a really solve solid argument to leave I also believe that we are fighters, and my fear is that We keep running away from everything we don't like, then who's gonna, stay and fight there, just gonna keep closing in on us, and I think I actually actually ties into a question that I was going to ask you if I may end up so. My question is:

I personally feel, like many liberty, minded conservative endeavour. Wars, and there are many of us feel like there is an onslaught on us in the work environment in schools, no in the cases of some of my friends in the schools that they send their kids to their there. There really looked at. As a minority that almost doesn't even matter, and so what is it about the conservative spirit that doesn't fight back What what I want to give you an example. There is one of them. One of my mother met? One of my friends who is a mother was telling a manner but about a teacher in her school and the teacher was teaching all this left wing stuff and a lot of the parents were upset, but the communication between them, the parents, was She's always like that, that's just how she is just ignored and move on. It's not worth your energy in my room action was. Why do we keep doing that? Why do we can keep alive?

Then get away with it, why is it not worth our energies to fight? Will I have a few few answers off the cuff one. Most people are not fighters as I wish him. Good people are divided into three groups: those who fight those who help the fighters and those who do nothing. Those who do nothing is the biggest group too big problem in all of history, and I also tell people that those who helped the fighters are just as important as the fires. Not everybody has a fighting, temperaments or is in a position to, but everyone is in a position to help the fighters, and that is as important as the fighting the troops. If they don't get supplies, they can't fight. So this human nature is one is one problem, then there's the conservative issue and, to be honest,.

Am I think you will agree with this? The average conservative and I mean thoughtful conservative they're they're out and including me, my greatest desire from society is to just leave me alone. I I will. I am responsible for my own happiness, please Just allow me to live my life. The left is the opposite: we want to leave your life. We are better than you. We know better than you. We we that's, why we

Want to grow governments, we want to shriek it. The way I am. I am so in sync, with the founders of Amerika, the only founders of any country in history that wanted small government because they wanted the in individual to be big. Take care of yourself, your family, in your community. What does a more beautiful thing to do with your life then be taken care of, so we don't fight in part, because when nature is just my biggest urge, I don't want it. I don't want to tell the leftist how to live. I just don't want the leftist to tell me how to live this, a big difference. They want to tell you how to live a passionate about it, obviously, but

Yes, it's really deserving of passion, those I think of the two biggest reasons plus army there, the specifics of the they will ruin your life. We won't ruin their lives. Is no conservative, cancel culture. who is the best example, is an inch or family how many adult children stop talking to their parent, because their parents voted for Barack Obama or Joe Biden. Zero is probably the answer. maybe three and they're nuts, how many adults children stop talking to apparent because they voted for Donald Trump.

It's in the millions, millions that's evil. We are not like them, so that's my answer. In a nutshell: we probably unexpected passion. Why I mean- and I think we have this conversation before, because how do we reconcile that But we reconcile the fact that they will fight with no rules. They will do the most destructive things they will go after our kids. They will go after the education system, everything you describe and we won't do we won't stoop to that level, will we don't think to do that? We don't want to do that. We don't expect. We don't expect schools to teach conservatism. We expect them to teach truth. Tab threw up his little agenda as possible. This is how you spell pillow,

sound out the word hell does a better choice. And at an o, was always allow baby. What's the big deal now, of course, teaching any history involves some values on the part of the teacher. We understand. I told of college. I had no one gender that I know of

Then I thought russian history, so I obviously it's less impact full than american history, but still I felt it was my duty to give the that the knowledge over as interesting Lee and fairly as possible. I would bring into class people. I differ with it. It was a great thing to do that. So we have a different mindset. Leave us alone verses. We will control you, they are truly opposite ends of the of this thought spectrum at so treading you bring.

Some people think that now that we're making kids content would make the kids shows the magazines the box. There are waiting for us to put an rightwing propaganda there. There are looking at the content and they have nothing to say because we're just teaching historian, where does just eating out of our videos or if you show them to someone without showing its from Prager, you shake, will adjust conservative world or left. They said. No, I just don't know like like the latest, with with Erika Commissar or all the ones on happiness or in a line on the ten commandments, which of course, the great our great story right at a? U S, sense of hearing. I am asked by: U S senator. I'm not ass, the Google representative. Why did you put Mr Progress video on the ten commandments, restricted list because it mentions murder- and I remember Marisa

I there are moments in my life when I feel I have entered the twilight zone. Yes, I'm actually humming the theme to myself. Did he say what I just heard: isn't that, like one of the ten commandments, do not, so I actually said you vote could see this on you to my testimony and guy google at I. So I said senator. I think next time we're going to produce a Google friendly, nine commandments, we'll just drop thou shall not murder. Then we can then

can stay, and now you just said that the word martyr twice helping those fireside chats what why this facebook another this year. So anyway, you s the very important question: how how do you get people to fight? I have another question not for you, but that I ask certainly your freedom through response, but how,

Will you get? How do you talk people into getting out of the closet? I remember when gaze when the closet- and that was a tragedy. None of us defend that. So now conservatives are in the closet, half this country's conservative and most of them their fellow workers. Don't know it do you know I conduct orchestras, as you know, so the New York Times covered my conducting the Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra that Disney Concert Hall a few years ago, and so it became nationally known that I did that and the scandal as it were, a conservative conductor.

With a left wing city, Santa Monica California, and I did it to you. My people, I didn't say a word about politics anyway, so I recall a doing that and the the anger, was amazing, so I got a letter

This really made an impact. I got a letter from a member, I won't say what orchestra of one of the biggest orchestra in the country. I know what orchestras your big, I think I can say one instrument. She was a vilest with this orchestra and she said I want you to know their Dennis. I just want you to know. I I play the viola for the Ex wisely orchestra and I've been with it for thirty years. No one knows I'm a conservative she's playing with an orchestra three decades, she's that afraid of coming out of the closet, but listen to this. I think you know this right. What might might like spirits would San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, so I went up to a San Jose California, a few years ago to speak and times when they found out about it that some members of the San Francisco Symphony, one of the leading

mistress of the country said always. We follow you we'd love to have dinner with you, so you have to understand when members of of orchestras one have dinner with me, I'm like a kid being invited by his basketball here. I know it's terrible because I'll write to Us- and I would like now I'm sorry, Mr Progress still busy and somehow they get to you any. I cannot travel has exactly the Dutch. Are you chief. You are aware we all got me a member of a major orchestra, because I love I like crazy about music. So anyway, sure enough, like six people, men and women, members of the orchestra show up. import eager you t shirts San Francisco, we're not talking about you know a conservative Taos orchestra. Yes, so my first question was your fellow orchestra members know how you stand and they

they all know and that's the issue you have do you have to be prepared like like to eat the young woman who has been on my radio show, and I had sit in for me at twenty one years of age, and she said after coming on my show the first time she's a student at Harvard she said I went through two weeks of hell, you went on Dennis Prager, show no more in my life and then she said after two weeks. It's like she got out of jail. She breathe fresh air, that's what people need to know. It is hell when you come out of the closet. Then it is heaven you sleep better. You buy new, bring beautiful people into your life. I think the amazing thing now is that you may think that you're alone, but your

tat. You are not alone. Half of this country is on your side. Don't forget that they want you to think that you're alone they want you to think that you're that only kid on campus thing, you're, the only man who does a one critical race therein that classroom that's what they want you to think it's a facade. It is not true It is why Prager use first book. I those too was number one best seller on Amazon, big big trouble ahead as MRS Lepage Book of the books. I left it. Place a first day for three days, kids box, and so we are not alone. It's a facade. They make. You think that you're alone, but you're the fear, your your fearing the bully monster. That's what

fearing you're, not alone. If you ve got one hundred and nine it that's right and they want us to fear correct so that that's the thing to say to the people, you know he's he's it. If you were to tell what say a college kid or even worse, we're in all the personal simply really matter said so. Marisa strike walk video- should we sent to our cousin who's on the left and thinks you're terrible. What would you recommend? I know I'm catching you off guard here, but I'm curious probably just because I've been in that position before I would probably say, Dave, Rubens Video, why I left the left. I thought I think, the friendship that we have built with Dave, Reuben and so incredible army. He was part of the young Turks who was his gaze, and here

gay and it's it's really a video about the fact that the really the tolerant ones are the conservative ones mean american values essentially are tolerant the left values or not as tolerance. So I would I would start with that one way left the left shoe my it's interesting. Look. You could Are we? Then? It is also incredibly good. Looking and kill forgotten is your right. My husband doesn't get jealous when I said cause he's gay, yeah, ok, I'll, leave that a move on. your husband, the your husband, doesn't get jealous, cause he's good. Looking out. Yes, that's right out with the right answer: Noah I'm your man. Why are an intellectually giants?

I would recommend a micro subject on happiness on forgiveness. It would it so goes against what they expect from us. I want a shock them with how kind we are so that's that's I dont I think some would be affected by your some would be affected by my, but that's what I would recommend. Don't don't show them anything political! You have. You have a hundred to choose from that, have nothing to do with politics and give that a try, because none of those groups- let's put it this way- no left wing is putting out the kindness videos that we are I'd say there's another video that I really recommend, especially for for parents, and that is on participation trophies, because many parents agree that participation trophies are not good for kids and

Altai. This into a recent statistic that I haven't shared with you. Since we launched Prager, you, kids, the viewer ship, the female view, worship on Prager, you has increased by five, percent since last year, that's three million more female viewer Yes, I'm Prager Yale, which is an amazing thing, because this is something that I think you know conserving is Liberty minded folks. Pro american folks have been really struggling with getting too suburban mom but we're seeing that suburban moms are really drawn towards Prager you now, because now all the Mama barriers are coming out- and that is, I think, very significant. Very difficult will listen. Terrific and you know what the maybe there's no question like go another hour with you. But

I couldn't have thought I mean really. You are Alan to be to be fair on the two hundred We'll have our number two hundred fiftieth, and you know it's really. This is such a terrific trio ass. I little triangle and mean really adore each other. I mean as humans. Aside from working on the same values, it it's great to work, Prager, you ve the eighty five. There would probably all say that that's why, when people come and visit there, the it's like it, it's like a boost, your shot to use the terminology of the day,

against that the real problems of our society anyway, we Orissa, I end untold numbers, love, you thank you and are lucky that we met so you'll, be back for how about the three hundredth God willing, unwilling. So folks, I Dennis Prager- and this has been the wonderful two hundredth fireside chats. May we double and triple the number with the same enthusiasm as the first two hundred is a good example of something you might want to show somebody who has misgivings.

based on a no good reason about Prager. You say so what do you think bad folks her? So I'm Dennis Prager? This has been Marisa strike. Now we're ceo thanks to whom we are flourishing, I'll, see you next week. Thank you for watching this video to keep. Are you videos free, please consider making a tax, deductible donation.
