=== Homeschooled High Schooler (03:03) ===

[00:00:01]  Well, it is what it is, and we have to fight it.
[00:00:05]  And that's what I do every day.
[00:00:08]  It's a sick world of the left.
[00:00:10]  It's sick.
[00:00:10]  It's pathologic.
[00:00:12]  It's pathologic.
[00:00:14]  One of the things that PragerU is doing is PragerForce 15,000 young people around the world.
[00:00:23]  And on this final day of fundraising, I am interviewing a...
[00:00:29]  High school student who's in Prager Forest in Brentwood, Tennessee, Matthew Mason.
[00:00:35]  Matthew, it's a pleasure to meet you.
[00:00:38]  Thank you, Mr. Prager.
[00:00:39]  It's great to be on your show.
[00:00:40]  Thank you.
[00:00:41]  Tell me a little about yourself.
[00:00:42]  Are you in high school?
[00:00:44]  Are you homeschooled?
[00:00:45]  Which?
[00:00:46]  Well, I am of high school age, but I am currently being homeschooled.
[00:00:50]  At what age did you begin?
[00:00:54]  Kindergarten, I've always been homeschooled.
[00:00:55]  Oh, you've always been homeschooled.
[00:00:57]  By the way, one of the reasons I immediately asked was you said Mr. Prager.
[00:01:03]  That is very often a giveaway that somebody has actually...
[00:01:09]  I don't have a problem with Dennis, but I do admire the way you were raised in that regard.
[00:01:17]  Are you intending to go to a college?
[00:01:20]  Yeah, I think I will go to college.
[00:01:24]  Are you aware, having been homeschooled, what colleges typically teach, or shall I say indoctrinate?
[00:01:34]  Yeah, I think I have, because I've, you know, seen a lot of campus lectures, and I stay pretty informed.
[00:01:40]  But I am planning, I'm probably going to one of the more conservative colleges that's also Christian.
[00:01:46]  I'm not planning going to, you know, UC Berkeley or anything.
[00:01:49]  Right, okay, so in that sense you're...
[00:01:53]  You're one of the few, actually, colleges, not even all Christian colleges have been untainted by you don't know the gender of a child when it's born.
[00:02:04]  Are you familiar with that argument that there is no such thing as fixed gender?
[00:02:10]  Yeah, I am.
[00:02:11]  It's kind of like the idea that, like, your mind is all that matters and your physical body doesn't matter.
[00:02:17]  I mean, I don't find it very convincing, but I think that's the basis of it.
[00:02:22]  So, how, being homeschooled, have you become aware of what's going on out there?
[00:02:29]  Well, I mean, I think how I'm more aware is that I, well, I listen to, you know, a lot of lectures.
[00:02:36]  I listen to you.
[00:02:37]  I listen to, you know, Charlie Kirk.
[00:02:38]  I listen to Ben Shapiro.
[00:02:40]  You know, they talk about it a lot, so I think that's probably the main source of information I'm, you know, where I'm getting.
[00:02:47]  How did you discover PragerU?

=== Virtual Events and Zoom Meetings (01:55) ===

[00:02:50]  Well, I was actually listening to a lecture by Charlie Kirk, and he mentioned PragerU during the lecture, so I checked it out.
[00:02:56]  I loved your guys' videos, and I wanted to get involved, so I joined PragerForce.
[00:03:01]  Have you been at any meetings to meet other PragerForce members?
[00:03:06]  Well, I've been on virtual events.
[00:03:10]  I joined this past summer in June, and obviously there's been a lot of lockdowns already, so I don't think...
[00:03:17]  There's been a lot of in-person events yet.
[00:03:20]  There have been Zoom meetings?
[00:03:24]  Yes, I've done some Zoom meetings.
[00:03:26]  Oh, that's wonderful.
[00:03:27]  Now, do you have a way to, through social media, mouth-to-mouth, Zoom-to-Zoom, way of spreading word about our videos?
[00:03:40]  Yeah, I have a Twitter account.
[00:03:43]  That's my main.
[00:03:45]  I like to retweet your guys' videos and comment on things and such.
[00:03:51]  And I always ask this, and I'll just preface it by noting, I always, in years, it's amazing to me, I've always gotten a different answer.
[00:04:03]  Do you have a favorite PragerU video?
[00:04:06]  Yes, I do.
[00:04:09]  Drumroll, please.
[00:04:10]  Go ahead.
[00:04:11]  Okay, and it's one of the videos that you did.
[00:04:15]  I believe it's actually your most recent one.
[00:04:17]  It's how the left sees the world, power, race, and class.
[00:04:21]  That's right.
[00:04:22]  That has not been chosen yet.
[00:04:26]  Power, race, and class.
[00:04:28]  That's exact.
[00:04:29]  Yes.
[00:04:30]  All right, hold on with me.
[00:04:31]  Just a couple of more questions.
[00:04:35]  This young man will be spreading the word.
