Hi, everybody. Dennis Prager. Wow. You are meeting Mr. Tubbs. Not the first time I acknowledge, but

rare, a rare Mr. Tubbs sighting.

You have no idea how much my wife worked to get him into this bed. And so far, it's a good

Minute and a half. I would say that he's been in there. All right. I'll have to talk to you about to take your questions. Thank you for being with me.

2:25.9

They've a lot of people have taught that God cares most often about something else. Theology, ritual,

2:36.4
