Do you see Snoopy Snoopy visible at all in the picture, once a lower the Cameron will come back to me. I just want you folks to see that autos brother Snoopy is with us. I think snoopy after two hundred and three episodes. has decided that also has a little too much attention, not certain of that theory, but it's possible. Anyway, I everybody to fireside chats, that's the fireside on the chat Nets, Otto, so you will notice so Does my chance adjust offer you some thoughts than take your questions, it's completely unrehearsed and there's something risky. In fact to be honest, but it's also a very healthy thing, because it's it's it's not produced as it were

it's quite spontaneous. Oh, my radio show. I read a he's from New York magazine as a long peace I read, from it on the air and basic. We it's a very simple story. A woman is about you get married she's, a young woman are twenties. and neither her pair nor her siblings, have gotten vaccinated, and the her future in laws that is feel unsafe? Parents will not attend Emmy Bobby is goes to the having and is not vaccinated. So she is can't believe that her parents have placed

their values, her words above their love for her. Of course the parents could say the exact same thing. Why did dupe. Why did you place your values above? Your love for us is so, That sort of argument really does go in both directions and the issue is not the of for their daughter. Whatever reason these people believe that they don't want to take the vaccine, and there are many valid reasons for people not to including if you ve had covered. I can't think of a of a more dishonest and there's a lot of competition for most this, honest what can be more dishonest than telling people who have had covered to get the vaccine, because, medically speaking, scientifically speaking, if people still care about science and not politics it

in fact, far better to have natural immunity, then Accelerated immunity, that's just the fact, That is the reason that Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world or one of the hand, foremost vaccinated, now saying? Oh, you really really better get a booster, a third shot, because the truth is the first two shots. Don't last that long by the way, might be the greatest thinks and sliced bread- the vaccine- I I don't know, but nobody Those and that's the point anyway. after the woman, so she is having a terrible rift with her parents, and I read the peace. Am I couldn't believe the peace committed a rather significant question. Why the in laws. They feel unsafe parents, simply say or get tested the day before the wedding

Why did New York magazine leave that out? It's like this is about is relevant. Question is possible if that would solve everything. Then everybody could Everybody- I don't why that was not raised. I really don't. Something is wrong with New York magazine for writing as long article and not using the single most obvious question. There was an alternative that could let everybody attend and every we love everybody and end the issue get tested before you come and, and there was not a word about it in the entire article. So I don't know what to tell you. Maybe me be it was discussed and the. He's in laws or future in laws are even opposed to that. my son, my Older son was invited to a wedding of a good friend, and the the rule was. Uk

come to the wedding if you're not vaccinated, but my my son said? Well, I had covered and that wasn't good enough. It is something that scares me and I'm not scared much in life, but one of the two three things that most scare me is irrationality, because you can't reason by The commission, with the irrational Self my son, would have said I had covered. They clearly would have said we don't care about. what basis would they not care? There was so much If this going on now, the declaration that I've ever met in is a is a horse. Medicine thing has been used, people, the inventor of got, got a Nobel Prize for use. On humans? It's one of the safest drugs available.

Harvey rich of Yale and epidemiologist at Yale said that if people have taken I for mixing hydroxyl Chloroprene, especially Iver Mechlin, we could have saved hundreds of thousands of american lives, but you know what you tube and twitter and Facebook shut doctors down who differ with the c b c and the government. This is unprecedented in american history that doctors are not allowed to offered dissenting a pin. We have never had this. We have never had this lack of liberty in american history. The threat

Freedom in America is unprecedented. The threat the threat to freedom of speech is unprecedented, and you know what half of America's ok with it. That's the most disappointing thing of all. There are Americans who think that Australia is handling this well, while strictly right. This moment is it'll territorial state. You can't leave your home, but for a fee

two hours a day. You can't talk to people in a park. Did you see the video of those kids who met that at a at a beach? I believe it was in Australia and helicopters, police helicopters full, flew overhead and and shine their lights on them, let like they were engaged in in some terror tactics against against whatever city they were in and then arrested and people are okay with this in Australia. People, ok with this in America. Yes, the answer is yes

People do not crave liberty, they crave security. That's why liberty is a value. Security is not a value. Security is an instinct. Liberty is a value, so we have a statue of liberty. We don't have a statue of security right, that's what everybody wants. Well, we're paying a big price.

I feel for the young people in our society, more younger son, whose twenty eight and he he texted me that peat. He can't believe that he's actually afraid about what's happening in Amerika. I have to say I have two sons who don't get easily afraid, but he was right. I worry for him. I worry for all young people who have been told that it's ok to shut down liberty. If the woke the left, the progressive, don't like what you say: it's ok to shut down doctors. Doctors appeared in the U S, Senate in a hearing on therapeutics, meaning non vaccination cures. Potential cures for covered

That's been taken down from Facebook, probably from twitter, to doctors, testifying in the U S Senate from Harvard and Stanford. So please don't believe the lie that the people who differ with this. maybe see or anti science their anti. I see the not anti science people laugh at them. people church for shutting down Galileo because he said that the earth went around the sun. All I got to tell you got a LEO was treated better than a lot of the people who were canceled today, a lot of the doctors who were canceled today, then, a president of the United States basically tells Americans to hate to the ninth accelerated, MRS. This is unprecedented in America to really is,

The notion now the Un Vaccinated, are responsible for covered in the United States. I thought the vaccinated are are protected against Colbert, why the hell did they care about? If I'm or If I am, are you or anybody else, I'm vaccinated we're not vaccinated if your vaccinated aren't you protected what well? Yes or no, when you say that, although I was not troubled by which is one of the virtues of Otto, he is natural, by anything. Right, oh, is that the correct thing is that right out, oh yeah, then a boy. This isn't it in a terrible time and in american history, where people hold us all, but we were told it's not that they will infect the vaccinated. It's that they will take up

hospital space really did we have that attitude during the AIDS epidemic, which was overwhelmingly among gay men and intervene as drug users did we say? Well, listen if you had unprotected the gay sex you were, you brought support yourself. We can't we can pay for you to be in a hospital. Nobody said that and and- and nobody should have said- that. do we say up to where people who don't wear helmets on on motorcycles? Listen, you should warn Helmuth you taking up hospital space People who didn't wear a seatbelt should warn of sheep belt you taking up hospital space or drawing drivers for that matter. You taking up hospital space, we're not paying for you. The first group that we have this hospital space argument is with regard to the non vaccinated. If you think that it ends with the on vaccinated. These things never end

once you start suppressing liberty. For group, a? U Wilfred group be, and then group see and then one day when you're a liberty is taken it's too late, because when you didn't speak up for the other group, there won't be anybody left to speak up for you. That's the way it works once you say, okay to the suppression of liberty, it's over, and I don't want it to be over in the in the sweet land of liberty. the United States of America. Vote can ok, let's see the questions and we begin of course with me. in the arm and the first question. It is, I'm Jackson ran through him beat and I'm a huge benefits he's gonNA is running what you think about how punk ISA B, Anti government signalled to the men, and now it is leaning more towards socialism communism. What do you think

I don't know much about point music, but that it's not on that. You would go from the the first group of values to the second group of value both were essentially what we would call progressive or woke or left wing values. So it's it's it's fairly. Consistent I'll. Give you an example when George W Bush was president I saw probably thought cars where I live in the early LOS Angelus area, especially when I go to the left, in areas like Santa Monica car after car had a bumper sticker. That said, to think there was one bumpersticker dissent is patriotic and question authority too. Very popular left wing. Bumper stickers. I don't see one now, not war, I give you my word. I have not seen one in years all

The sudden dissent is not patriotic. The sent today is to be suppressed and question authority. Don't you dare will shut you down? Don't you question any authority, not governmental, not medical, not not the academic. Don't question any authority, as the Prime Minister of New Zealand said about anything to do with health. If you don't hear it from the government, it isn't true. Tell me that is not like the medieval church. If you don't hear it from the medieval church, it is true. We we, or behind the middle ages? Today in the western world, in terms of openness to dissent So well, that's my explanation for that and then we'll go forward here.

Patrick thirty, five Evergreen Pork Illinois greetings to Dennis Missis, Prager Otto Snoopy, Megan and Nathan. Nathan is not here. Foresters. I'll tell Nathan anyway, I'm a veteran of both Afghanistan and Iraq. God bless you and are currently so was a fire fighter with weakness and weakness. every faction of society. How do we save our military? How do we- the men and women who were devoted to courageous, selfless service thirteen. American service members will becoming homing flagged rate caskets and the current administration seems careless and clueless. with checks and balances in the separation of powers is pillars of our constitution. What can be done Thank you for your wisdom, your passion in your love for good. Thank you for the kind comments How do we save I'll take this question? How to save our military right now the heads

of the military in the United States and the Democratic Party are Jim early devoted to being the military has more or less another place for weakness to take hold. that the primary role of the military, which is to fight sometimes to kill, is now seen as almost negative. The purpose is, for example, as the head of all of the military me was said, in the: U S, Congress, we have to study whites, supremacy. Is their white supremacy in the military, most integrated institution in the United States? It is now

for how well people of different races get along and they're going start teaching white supremacy there. What is being done to the military is basically what is being done to a lot of society with the notion of toxic masculinity which, as far as the left is concerned, is a redundant term. Masculinity is toxic. Masculinity is beautiful, femininity is beautiful. Again, I feel for the next generation. Boys are being raised to believe that their their natural inclination to masculinity is toxic. They should be more like girls, but the trouble is girls. Don't want boys who were more like girls.

Women want men who were more like men, women want masculine men, men want feminine women, but this is not what is being taught. People are being brainwashed into believing that feminine and masculine are essentially dirty words that they are reactionary.

So the you can have a military that works like that anyway, who is going who's going to unroll who's gonna win list in the military? If this is if this is the way in which things continue to another another example of something I have said all of my life, everything the left touches, it destroys there's. No. There is no example of that of anything that it builds. The only thing left builds is governmental power. It destroys every other institution. The arts, universities, high schools, elementary schools, late night, television sports, you name, it is destroyed by the left, not by liberals, liberals vote for the left, but liberals don't destroy liberals build

Conservatives build but the left destroys and the military is only the latest example: Kip. Thirty, three LOS Angeles. How many countries have you been to including airports? I also love travel and I love your show and the organisations work organization. A super you thank you. I have no idea, including airports. I don't include airports, so I can answer you. I know I can't remember. I remember one airport in a country and I have not included in my one hundred and thirty one country's visited, and that is the car Senegal. I stopped in the airport, but I do not consider myself having visited Senegal, I'm very strict

about my number, so my one hundred and thirty one is legit and fifty states and nine of the ten canadian provinces which reminds me to tell you something. I'd like to talk about this on on another fireside chat. What you do with your money to very, very important question people, don't know what to do with their money and I'm not talkin about the very poor. They know what to do with their money by food, but but most people have discretionary funds. What do you do with it? is a question of people, don't think about a lot, but it's worth thinking about a lot. I thought about it. Since I was a kid. I give you one very very simple example: I fell in love with classical me.

Sick as a sophomore in high school. I grew up in New York City and I got as a high school kid. high school student. I gotta one dollar ticket to Carnegie Hall, most famous concert hall in the world and so I went just because I had no interest in school work, so I went to everything else. I went to a one dollar ballet. I went to a one dollar Shakespeare. A play. To a one dollar a classical concert, and it was love at first hearing the neck. They I went back to Carnegie Hall all the way from Brooklyn and I bought Remember the some thirty two dollars worth of concert tickets. Where did the money come from my lunch money? I went for about a month without lunch which, given that I was never thin, was not a bad thing either. To be perfectly honest, I mean it sincerely. I went without once

And I just thought between the two that will bring me more lasting pleasure than lunch p. will spend money on immediate pleasures long lasting stuff. I have a lot to say about that and I will on another raw. How do you spend your money too? Big a big deal anyway? What brought it up was the fact that I went to so many countries. There was a good chunk of my life where I didn't have much money and I just knew its important for me to go to as many countries as possible that the the value Visiting another country, verses, dining at a fine restaurant. There was no comparison to me I rather eaten a diner, then miss another travel opera.

Unity all right. Let's see. hello Dennis this is from Scott twenty years old, Vancouver British Columbia, Canada, hello Dennis snoopy maidens arm amazing, isn't it corrects cracks you up cracks me up, cracks your parents up I have been listening to the fireside chats regularly for over a year and am reading your commentary on Genesis I wish you all, would I I promise it will affect your life positively. My commentaries on Genesis, an exodus, my thoughts, value will be coming out a year late. I already wrote it: it's gonna be five volumes, the first five books,

I bought, but due to write to me that the third book that I've done it's the fifth book in the Bible, the because of covered the publisher, didn't have the paper they couldn't get a cause. I've insisted on very high quality paper. It's the book is, is actually beautifully printed anyway. I've a Christian who loves liberty, I'm not happy with the trajectory of my country and my province, Canada. Iran were shaped than America, but we're catching up, among other things, Provincial government is currently introducing a digital vaccine passport they'll be required to access any activity that they identify as discretion. As someone who has travel the world extensively, where would you recommend that I go in life if British Columbia becomes intolerable? I love BC for its mountains, an ocean so, ideally, somewhere with similar geography and a more balanced culture,

you for sharing your wisdom and humour with the world. I look forward to reading the rest of your Bible come through in the years to come. Thank you, listen. We all have that the dilemma for the first time in my life. I never thought of this. For a minute. We're will I go with America. Goes the way of the Soviet Union it, which is where it is headed, certainly Australia, New Zealand and Canada headed there. So where would I go and I don't have it? I don't have an answer though. The world bought this horrible idea that you shut down society because this virus you shut it down. You shut down healthy people. You take away their ability to. living, you starve a lot of poor people, which is what has happened.

This is a new idea in human history, the lock towns where a catastrophe catastrophe. Sweden, is the proof swipe. People were so angry at Sweden because it did. shut down. It didn't shut down schools for kids under sixteen one day, the entire two thousand and twenty little old twenty twenty one, the kids went to school and without masks and none died. Isn't that a shock? They did fine You know what damage has been done to kids around the world. I mean real damage to their psyche into their health to their development, but it doesn't matter in the name of health. You can ruin untold numbers of lives. That's that's the God of our day there was bail in the Bible, they sacrifice children to bail. Now they sacrifice, children

safety is always a false god. People sacrifice children too. I don't know where you gonna go, maybe we'll all move to Sweden, which is really ironic since I was never Sweden fan before this life, the sobering I dont know the answer. I know when the United States is a massive movement of people who want freedom to places like Florida in Texas and some other places. I totally understand that people don't understand why stay in California and the answer is because there are so many people. I love here. That's my only answer. It isn't for the beautiful scenery, editors, beautiful scenery, beautiful weather, almost unique on earth, and I acknowledge that this is not a good reason to deprive by myself

but my family, a freedom. These are very tough questions. I never thought I would ask them, but it shows you that Ronald Reagan was right. We're always. one generation away from losing freedom. If people don't teach their children the value of freedom, they won't value. It they'll just value safety. Tim thirty seven Fenimore Wisconsin front of a friend, of a friend recently Can you have a meaningful life without morality? My thoughts were that you can't have meaning without truth, and you can't have truth morality, but I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Will those are two separate issues, truth. So I'll answer the first one. Can you have meaningful life without morality. Of course, you think nazis didn't am meaningful lives. communists didn't have meaningful lives. Shore, they did very meaningful,

there was a Nazi phrase, a common. among the S S, who they said we network never so alive as when we're killing they felt very fulfil in murdering Jews and murdering slobs. and in murdering period there there was a lot of meaning in five For the aryan race and fighting for Hitler, was a lot of meaning in the Soviet Union for in communism is was a whole meaning system, but I wish evil didn't give people meaning it does.

So the issue in life is what will give you meaning? What has happened is with the collapse of Christianity in the West and judeo christian values. People have sought, meaning in crappy stuff, but people are always seeking, meaning, so the leather find that in healthy things or unhealthy things, what's our story now or thirty, my inner clock worked

I love your questions folks. I love that you ask yes, a crisis were living through, as this is an unprecedented crisis and the fermenting of hatred this case to the unaffected, aided even if they ve had covered, even if you ve gotten a vaccine. This is not a good development, but the human being is a complex creature and that's why we have to teach good values everything as a matter of values.
