07.09.2020 Fireside Chat Ep. 142 — How to Defeat the "America Is Racist" Lie EVERYTHING and every kind of person and belief exist in America.

07.02.2020 Fireside Chat Ep. 141 — Do You Know How Special America Is? “We are witnessing one of the most irrational developments in the history of the world.” The left is a destructive force, raising an entire generation to think that this country is racist, misogynist, and imperialist.

06.25.2020 Fireside Chat Ep. 140 — Neither Blood nor Race Matters Are blood ties really the strongest/most important relationships?

06.18.2020 Fireside Chat Ep. 139 — A Conflict of Civilizations This is what happens when society enters an anti-religious and anti-rational age. Hysteria.

Dennis offers his ...
