Ep. 152 — A Marxist Takeover Would Destroy America

How do you determine right from wrong, good from evil? Two perspectives are dominant: the Judeo-Christian view and the Leftist/Marxist approach. The first approach is the reason America has been such a remarkably good and decent society compared to all others—and Dennis explains why it remains crucial for maintaining a good society.

Fireside Chat Ep. 151 — Society Can't Fix Your Problems

Character development was a primary focus in education until the 1960s. Now, children are taught to blame America or "society" for their problems. The great tragedy of this, of course, is that if you think society is to blame, why would you take any action to help yourself? 0:00 “Say Hi To Otto!” 1:14 A Guy’s Guy 2:20 A Religious Education’s Impact 4:08 An Interruption 4:45 What Should Be Your Biggest Struggle? 7:52 Battling Human Nature 12:14 Raise Your Kids On More Than Love 14:50 America Will Never Be Perfect 16:30 Discussing BLM Without “Being Divisive” 21:53 Dating As A Conservative 24:44 Why Dennis Can Spell Albuquerque 26:48 The Communist Utopia Experiment 30:06 Addressing “The Global Black Family” 32:28 Thanks For Watching Subscribe so you never miss a new Fireside Chat! 👉 https://www.prageru.com/series/fireside-chats/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Fireside Chat Ep. 149 — Why "Color-Blind" Is Actually "Anti-Racist"

Fireside Chat Ep. 148 — We Must Understand History To Value Liberty

It is difficult to value liberty without a strong understanding of history. Because naturally, humans desire equality over liberty. Yet anytime a society strives for equality of result, it will necessarily sacrifice freedom.

Ep. 147 — Teachers Admit They Want to Keep Parents in the Dark

In a revealing new development, teachers openly lament that at-home learning allows parents to hear their lessons.
