Hi everybody, Dennis Prager.
We're trying to put a holiday hat, a Christmas hat on Otto.
And that's the famous arm in America.
And did it work?
The chances of this working are very slim.
There you go.
Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here.
It's the Hanukkah and pre-Christmas show.
Show, that's funny, show.
That's from radio.
Podcast.
Yeah, that's good.
What is this?
It's a show.
You can watch it as a podcast.
Yeah, okay.
All right, look.
Too much excitement.
What am I going to do?
Dogs and children teach you humility.
That's my view.
So welcome.
Got it.
Got a number of thoughts.
Since I was going to talk about Christmas, I thought,
well, it turns out that the question is about it.
So we'll start with the question and then I'll give you my...
But first.
Oh yes, but first.
No, this is really important.
We rely entirely on people contributing to PragerU to make everything we do possible,
because everything we do is free.
That's why it's called a non-profit organization.
Well, that's not why, but it's part of why.
Yeah, because if you're a profit organization, you don't make everything for free.
That's correct.
So anything you give up to Christmas day will be tripled, tripled, whatever you give.
So if you give $10,000, it's $30,000.
Just kidding.
I mean, I'm not kidding.
That is true.
But if you give $10, it's $30, right?
So thank you.
Go to PragerU.com and help us fight for everything good.
I think that's the best way to put it.
So I want to give you some thoughts about Christmas.
And it's important that I state at the outset, and most of you know this,
but I am a religious Jew and it's not my religious holiday, but it is my national holiday.
I am very pro-Christmas.
I'm passionately pro-Christmas.
So I can't tell you how annoyed I've been over the course of time at this woke development,
which is old.
I got a call from a professor at an Indiana law school about 25 years ago.
I didn't get a call.
Actually, we called her because we read about her position.
She was opposed.
She led a movement opposed to a Christmas tree in the main building at this law school in Indiana.
And her argument was, it's not inclusive.
We don't only have Christians at our law school.
And I thought, that's a non-sequitur.
What does it mean?
It's not inclusive because you don't have Christians.
You have non-Christians at the school.
So I called her up and I'm sure she had no idea who I was.
She wouldn't have come on if she knew who I was.
I don't think she'd come on today.
