So you pretty much got his tush fer a half hour unless he swaps positions anyway. Welcome to the fireside chat. Number two fifteen I do while every week I hate being predictable like that, my being predictable in my values, but style, but can I do Anyway, I everybody great to be with you, and I want to remind you that this fireside chats brings to Europe.

You oh Kay I want to take a lot of questions today, but I will offer you some thoughts, I'm things that are happening. I don't normally

bad news items, because this is not that sort of thing that is this being the Fireside chats Fireside Chap is is thoughts, I have about life. Basically in taking your questions, tore spontaneous, there's no teleprompter nothing's written out, but two big items Kurd. Am I just like to offer a very quick thoughts? On both one was the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, so. This was a seventeen year old young man. I nearly all of you know this, probably even those of you not in the United States. During the terrible riots in his city in. Wisconsin? What was the name again City Wisconsin Canosa YAP, so he heal. He is his father was living in Canosa. He has a great deal of of contact there

He lives in a suburb or the Suez Canal. Because the suburb of where he lives in Illinois that it's right on the border anyway bs what to do with a with this little city relatively little in the country, but medium size in Wisconsin? It had terrible riots, not just protest, not just demonstrations, but riots If you see videos of what was happening last summer, Canosa Wisconsin you We will see a bird vehicles their stores looted stores. I mean it was chaos and the police did nothing because they were ordered to do nothing wherever Democrats are in charge generally. Police do nothing, doing riots why that is. It is a subject for perhaps another another occasion, but it's just the way it

is because the rioters are, there are on their side politically, perhaps there their voters, so they don't want to suppress If the rioters were, as they almost never are on the right, then they would be profoundly suppressed. That is how it works in the United States, man, which is less free country than at any time in its history. So this boy went to protect a wants. It does a storage unit or an auto dealer and auto dealer. I think, and he went to help get rid of graffiti to help people who might be heard in the demonstrations, even if they we're on the other side. He wants to be a nurse he's he's a good kid

You're allowed at that his age, seventeen of to carry a gun, and he did. I don't know how else you protect a place that people are going to come and vandalize just standing. There means you'll either be ignored or beaten up, so he was attacked by guy with a horrible record of he was in prison for almost ten years, the guy one of the guys that ended up killing off or child rape and he was screaming. The end word act at people which, of course,

tat, have been on the other side. That's all you would. You would hear about. Had a right, winger been screaming the inward, but if a left wing or does the press ignores it, because the press in the United States is not an honest press, it is. It is the spokesperson of the Democratic Party and of the left. I say this with only sadness, but it is true, as anything in life is true. This is a perfect example. How many people know that the guy one of the guys he killed was was screaming at him and others the inward anyway. Is a terrible record these who is a bad human being if there is such a thing as a bad human being and by the way You deny that there are bad human beings than your denying that there are good human beings. Just remember that any Who says there were no bad people is all.

So saying there are no good people right because its Little absurd to say: oh, there are no bad people, but there are good people, okay, so the people who were not good what term would you used to call them? Not good? Ok, I'll use, not good. People sort of live in a make believe world all. There are no bad people. Of course there are that's the tragedy of the human race that there are More than a few bad people anyway this guy try to kill Kyle Rittenhouse Gal Rittenhouse, shot him killed. Him whew was that Otto has a very serious knees Only a very goes, he's wondering when his is contract ends in because he leaves at a certain point whether with

oh, no, no, no, no I'll stay or stay out of this is painful. Oh, yes, his mommy, my wife, Seti's hungry, ok, purty per. A bully, heard the pitter patter of autos feet. So this Guy Rosenbaum tried to shoot, shoot, written House Rittenhouse shot him many die And similarly, with the with the other individual, we have video? Otherwise, I suspect he would have been found guilty because the prosecution just would have kept saying. Look. He killed innocent people, but we have so many video was of what happened that it is not a question the people who say

A seventeen year old shouldn't have a gun. First, seventeen year olds can even enlist in the armed forces. Secondly, if it was legal, it was what, if you think seventeen year old, should not allowed to have a gun, fine, changing the law, but whatever he It was legal and moral. He didn't go. Shoot anybody, he went to protect the place from being burned down now. Why did he do? That is a very important question and the answer is because the police warrant guarding any places against arson. Here is a very important rule if the police do not protect the innocent, civilians will protect the innocent

That is a rule of life, as two into was for people do not allow anarchy, some people, one anarchy, they tend to be on the left and they thrive on it, which is what all the the riots of in America were. Four months in the year twenty twenty there chaos that was anarchy, but a lot of people do not thrive on anarchy and if it exists, they will take protection into their own hands and they are right to do so. I would.

Wouldn't you is there any body watching this video who would not protect their home or a friend's home if asked if the police did not and the police did not, because it was a democratic party, run city and send state, and in those cases you dont, protect yourself, against left wing protesters. Choose me rioters, these sad things for me to tell you went on. I don't find it a happy state of America that I am describing, but it is nevertheless true. He is a decent. Kid did not seek trouble sought to dispense with trouble. The rioters should have been in jail, not Rittenhouse. We I've been an upside down world.

Where the rioters are not jailed but a kid who just went to protect property and shop in self defense, he went to jail. He was there, I think, for two to three months. I don't I don't remember the exact Length of time, the other right am I wanna talk to you about is the moaning down of human beings with a man and suv. Man had a rap sheet of ten crimes. He tried to run over his girlfriend. I think that that day or the day before, I think it was that day, he he had hate filled lyrics of rap songs, pretty much hates whites hates policemen uses expletive to describe policeman. This was all on his

On his facebook or twitter page, whichever one it is and then goes out and most down people, all of whom were white but were told repeatedly. This was not an act of terror, it may not have been, but he obviously deliberately killed all these people. So the question is: did there being white play a role in the fact that he, a black man who hates whites mode them down, I dont know the answer. I do know this. Was a white man who hated blacks? Whom, who down five, at least at this time, five dead and dozens injured. Some critical. This would have been the biggest news item in America, proof of how systemically racist America, And it would undoubtedly have been called an act of racism and terror which, by the way,

it would have been, but there it's completely dismissed. That this might have been in any way race based, despite what he had put on his internet pages. So we live, we live in the world of the lie, We deny what our I see and what our ears here What is the famous line from a Groucho Marx movie where he's caught in bed? His wife catches in bed with another woman, and he immediately just he's going what is going on here? What is going on here as he's getting dressed? He goes even a book. Leave me or you're lying eyes it's. What I feel is a model of the left. You gonna believe us or you're lying eyes. Our eyes have seen what what happened, but the worst is this, and my final comment.

This man was out on bail after after ten times being arrested. This man was out on bail for one thousand dollars. I think, but I don't remember the crime It was of ex quite a serious crime, a thousand dollars bail. You know why, because the district attorney the people who set the bail was one of those funded by George Soros, like in LOS Angeles and San Francisco,. And Philadelphia, whose view is that virtue, Lee everyone imprison, especially a person of color, should not be imprisoned and. The fact that we allow out people who will do horrific things is fine. With these people.

He said so. The daily mail quoted him from years ago saying: look if this policy of letting people out of a prison or very low bail means that some people are gonna, get kill and some people will get killed. It's a civil war in the United States of America. I hope it doesn't get more violent. I pray it doesn't, but I've been saying that there's a civil war in this country. For many years, liberals and conservatives have almost everything in common liberals vote for the left. That is the tragedy of the United States, but liberals and conservatives are the enemies of the left. The left is a destructive force. It has always been everything the left touches. It destroys whether it is the justice system or sports, or the arts or universities or high schools or elementary school,

everything it is a purely destructive force why humans want to destroy. What is good is a puzzle to those of us who love what is good. I don't understand it. I think it emanates, but I am not absolutely certain. I think it emanates from secularism, affluence and boredom. I think those are the ingredients of leftism secular, affluent board. That's a very, very

the cold combination secular because they have no religious meaning, so they they develop a religious substitute, whatever the ism of the left is marxism or feminism or environmentalism. These are all substitute religions for the death of judeo, christian values, athletes, because they have it so good and they have so much time on their hands. If you have to work for lunch and dinner, and breakfast and feed a family, you don't have time and you do have meaning in your life. Get food for my family By the way, most of them are single, I might

even want to add that secular, affluent, single and board boredom is a very toxic thing in life very toxic. So I think those are four of the ingredients that make such people. They are bored by. The middle class values of that have made America strong, graduate high school, get a job, get married and have children and get married before you have children. This drives them crazy that is their nightmare. Such a boring life. I happened to find that very fulfilling taking care of a family has been the most meaningful thing in my life.

There are many other meaningful things, but that's the most taking care of a family. That's how I was raised, that's what you do Dennis should get married and have children and you take care of all of them. It's very fulfilling, not very easy. All the time, it's easier to be single, it's easier to not have children, but I never sought an easy life. I don't want my tombstone to read here lies Dennis Prager. He led an easy life. An easy life is almost

never a fulfilled life. Okay and now to your questions, though, I Dennis Scott from Rochester New York and my question to you this week is about autism. What are your thoughts on em some awareness verses, opposite acceptance, should it be treated as a disability or just as a neurological difference. I'm seeing in many ways the left trying to take off under the wing as In her point and as someone who's out. Second conservative. I wonder what your thoughts are Well that's an interesting series of questions so part of it

is not clear to me. I don't know what the left taking under their wing is an internet sexuality point means so I'll just have to leave that for now. So, let's What are your thoughts on autism awareness, verses, autism, acceptance again. Quite sure what that conflict is. There is very little awareness of autism among those who don't have someone autistic in their family. I do have some one autistic in my family, my step son, who is Wanna, see, let's sees in his light thirties and I've. I've been in my life, but most of his life. I married his mother and he was about, I guess about eight years old or nine years old

And he lives with us, so I interact with an autistic person. He could not. He could not ask as coherent question as you did. The spectrum of autism is so broad that its it It's an odd thing even to use the term. You have very little in common with my steps on my steps, some on the other and is, light years ahead of another person. I know whose autistic who asked to live in an institution that this woman can cannot take care of herself in any way. Where's my steps on showers in shaves and prepares its own food and talks up storm about politics and the weather, and whatever else is on his mind and he saw

the light to be with actually, but he can't live on his own. I am, I suspect you could so there is no answer to anything about autism since The spectrum is so broad, it go. From you asking this intelligent question with excellent. Capillary too to the two. This girl there was an institution and yet you're both thought. Stick its almost a silly worth to use. Maybe they shovel autistic one to ten So you know you might be eight or nine changed. She would be he too, or one so now about acceptance. Acceptance, verses, what'd, you put it awareness, I don't know what else.

This means the. Why accept my step? Sons, autism? What is that even mean. Do I wish he warrant? I wish you weren't. He loves life ii. If, if he were not autistic eat Ike, only God knows how productive he would be an how fulfilled in life. I think he feels fulfilled mail to the extent that he can put That's another issue, so I don't even know what acceptance means in that sense. At sea and the other thing was, should be treated as a disability or just in a neurological difference is what you think it is near. The UK, Answer that I can't, but I could say. Of course, my of course, my steps on has a disability and end. Even if it's a neurological difference, it's a disability- I don't know why.

It's not a dirty word, disability. It's either true or not. True. He is somewhat disabled compared to someone who has no autism. Ok, thank you for calling in as it were Arthur, Fifteen years old in See Faye Brazil, a den environmentalism has always been part of my life. My teacher, once chose Al Gore is the theme for our classroom presentation at my school. Cultural, fair, wind, blowing one time I decided to watch other videos about climate change. That's how I this Every Prager you open my eyes beyond the doomsday predictions, yes by them,

for the record. We have never ever denied that the earth is getting warmer. We are that the left charges us because they hate how effective pregnant you is. As the New York Times just wrote in passing were the titan of conservatives in the conservative world, which is true, and tighten was their word, so they they they really low. Thus because, we're very honest, were very sophisticated. We don't screen we don't call names. We are very interested in things other than politics.

Like happiness getting along with people, ethics, religion, but so they make up things, which is what they do all the time they make up things that are not true. We don't deny that the earth is getting warmer. We deny that there is an exit central threat to humanity existential means. The existence of that is panic porn, that is intellectually and scientifically indefensible hysteria, which all all it does is breed. Fear and fear, is a weapon. So that's what we we believe. Ok, that's right. We open your eyes beyond the doomsday predictions you got it right, but this question isn't about me. It's about my father. He is a strong

protestant, christian and conservative, but very climate alarmist? a while ago. He did a carbon footprint test and was shocked because as much as we are from a third world country. He said things like wish consume less, and I try to counter it with facts, but I dont think that this changed his mind anything how to handle this by the way send a high to Otto. I wish I could also has marched out probably to eat. Oh, let's see the question is what oh? Yes, I try to counter you try to coming down with facts, but that didn't change his mind. The number of people whose minds will be changed by facts is not large. Most people come to their conclusions. Emotionally, I wish people,

made up their minds with facts. You know how many years now people is Al Gore's. The perfect example Al Gore and nineteen nine be said that he and others, not he exactly others in in camp. If we we have twelve years every twelve years, we have twelve years or it's an existential threat. As before long Borg from Denmark who writes on this he's statistician And he writes on this regularly for the Wall Street Journal in these written books, any than Prager you videos comes on, my radio show he really noses stuff. You know how few people, a few thousand people a year, die die of Heath.

A hundred years ago, the number of people who died from from as a result of climate with so much larger people we're doing fine But we're doing fine is, is, though, is like curse. Words to the board. What I said to you before secular. Affluent and board. That's exactly who make up the environmentalist movement. These are all very secular. Not all there was some people like even the Pope. Some religious people have joined it, but overwhelmingly in a secular and affluent these p,

looking for meaning and what gives you more meaning, then saving the planet, how many people could say they ve saved earth? That's big, yogi, exciting they're. Looking for excitement. I'm excited by life by friends by work. Travel by love by kids by wife Friends, I mean I feel such a rich life and rich intellectual life. My music and my. Reading. I've never sought to save the world from it. Impending doom. Ever riddle on in that regard. What do you call a religious person who says that the Visa

The end is near a religious fanatic. What do you call a secular person who says the end is near an environmentalist. What is our time? Twenty nine? I think it's time for the question which is too bad yeah, I got a good one from Australia and other places. Well, I want to remind you, since I have bad half minutes ago. I want to remind you that if you binge on the the fireside chats watch like fifty at a time, you'll be enriched, you'll, be intellectually and even orphans emotionally enriched and that

goes back to the first one. These things are not dated the points that I made. Even if their based on something happening, then up our big points that are hopefully eternal. So I invite you to watch past versions or past episodes. Of the fireside chats so until next week. I would thank you on behalf of Otto, but he left, but thank you for watching, see you next week. Thank you for watching this video to keep pray. Are you videos free, please consider making a tax deductible donation.
