Hi everybody. Welcome to Fireside Chat number three four seven. I'm Dennis

Prager and we have the Fireside chat in order for me to just open up to you about what's on my mind, take your questions, and it's really proven

its worth over the, what is it, seven years, isn't it? Basically seven years. It's amazing to think.

By the way this is all made possible thanks to Prager United.

circling me.

I don't know if that can be seen.

Apparently not.

He is moving my chair in case you notice that it is moving.

So I have actually quite a brief opening thought. I'm there's so many good questions I want to go to them as quickly as possible

But I like to share with you a thought about the change in our society that I'd like to identify there are many

changes and many many of them have not been positive a few have obviously. So I remember when the war on tobacco began and I remember having

an instinct and my instincts on moral issues have been pretty good, pretty solid over the course of my lifetime.

My instinct was, of course, cigarette smoking is dangerous, to deny that is to deny reality,

and truth is the number one issue.

But I remember thinking they're going a little overboard, not a little, a lot.

With secondhand smoke they really went overboard.
