Hi everybody welcome to the fireside chats, I'm Dennis Prager. This is Otto needs, no introduction. I might need an introduction, but auto does not that that might be the only movement you see from Otto on this virus. I chat. On the other hand, he has been known to leave in the middle. This is happening more frequently. it might be related to the fact that he has not had a raise since the beginning of the fireside chats so who know What number are we. two hundred and eighteen, sixteen o my crown. Oh that's right about an opening, an opening announcement, that's right

Us Baptist University is a comprehensive Christianity centred nationally ranked university with a mission produce. The next generation of several of accuse me of servant, leaders. Debbie graduates itself, Baptists University, where I was in love, love being there our men and women, of a deep faith who strive to reflect the values of genuine patriotism. They can be found in the classrooms, courtrooms board rooms and beyond all throughout America and around the world to learn more The value of the bee education and how you or your students may be eligible to receive it, a thousand dollars scholarship visit, Prager you'd that come slash d b. You d, be: u Thou, hast Baptists university, great. Sure, apropos as it happens, I'm need to talk to you today.

since some. I feel that I I mean to always go back to this subject, although this will be a different aspect of it. Because it is the most important subject in the world and it is the least talked about in schools and in the regular media. I'm going to talk to you about God. Do you know by the way, just just parenthetically? We live, in the most secular generation in the history of the world. The Has never been a religion, less godless society it in recorded history. We have created it in the west to our great

treatment, the chaos that we're seeing in so many arenas men give birth, good and evil or opinions. There are no objective truth. There is an even objective truth in math I mean it's, it's it's endless the chaos and this is all a result of the breakdown of judeo christian values in the west. Anyway, I want to talk to you about God from this perspective, The the number of people who believe in God and whose belief in in my opinion, is flawed, not that they don't believe enough, but that they they believe in my opinion, incorrectly method. I I have the only corrected vision of God, but

I explained this one to you. You will realize why it's not a good idea, people ask and always ask: why did something bad happened to them so very fair question? What they think, though, if they think of God is why did God allow this to happen? To me, Especially people who have great faith in God, I believe in God and now look what happened. A loved one got cancer or I got cancer or hit by a car. Or already you name, you name the I'm, I'm trying to pick the worst things that could possibly happen, not that you got a bad grade on a test but seriously bad stuff.

so first, let me say something I have known for years. There is no connection between. Your religiosity and gods protection of you. It's it's very common and it's it's it's rationally and religiously baseless Jews do with Christians, do it, for I have enough faith in Christ, I'll be protected, or if I but if I observe enough jewish laws be faithful, Jus that way I'll be protected ice. I want focal Emma Synagogue in London and Orthodox Synagogue and a man after my speech, a man got up and said, miss

Prager, how do you explain a Jew who has tried to live. Wonderfully religious life observed the laws of Judaism. The Torah and Rabbinic Laud, your all of jewish law and then gets gets a heart attack premium early or cancer, and I was somewhat floored by the question. Could it never occurred to me that there was a contradiction that it, if you were faithful enough to a gods, commandments would end up with not not having a disease, so I said raise your hand, I said, to the whole congregation race.

perhaps if, if you agree that, if you in and I specified to very big jewish laws, keep kosher and keep the Sabbath that you will be protected, more likely to be protected from illness and half the hands went up, And the same with Christians cuz, I work actually at least as much infect more with Christians and speak constantly. Churches. many believe I know them We believe this because, if something bad happens, their faith is very much shaken. I I I was. I was so Christ centered in let a christian life in that that means that individual- and here I am my child- has cancer or I have it or what? Whatever it might be. As I said, I have never. literally never I've letter, religious

I've all of my life I've never believed that leaving a religious life in any way protected me that meant, God would protect me from calamity. It doesn't even occur to me that that that is the way in which things work. God allows bad things to happen to people. Now, God is with you and bad things happen that I do believe in them. I think, that's very important, but that God will protect me. I I long ago made up a term for this notion of God doing what we want, and that is celestial Butler, a butler in Heaven, God is not a celestial. Butler brings me to point number two on the very same theme. I am not interested

in asking cod for things. I am interested in knowing what God asks from me. That is my preoccupation, Visa VIII God. What does God want me to do? Not what do I want God to do? You will leave a happier better finer life if you are guided by what does God want me to do than what do I want God to do. These are major things in one's approach to God and I'll give you another reason why it so important a lot of people lose face because they had the belief that their religiosity was a.

Was a way for God to engineer or to engineer gods taking care of them, in other words, that they think. Oh, if I, if I am, if I am faithful by my faithful christian, faithful, Jus God will protect me, then bad thing happens and what happens your faith is shattered. Now I I have not been tested because terrible things have not happened to me, so I can't see For sure how I would react, but I I I don't since I so don't believe God protect me from calamity. It is hard for me to believe that I would be adversely affected faith wise. If it did I already have incorporated into my face the notion-

that God allows bad things to happen. A lot of people's faith has been shattered because they solar made a deal. I'll, be a wonderful Christian, I'll, be a wonderful jus. You'll protect me. So they were wonderful, christian or a wonderful jus that ended up not protected poof. There goes there religiosity, I I I don't know where people got the idea that they will be protected. I'll, tell you why I I so don't believe it a very rational in my religion, swipe than they were my commentaries that religion, the rational Bible, but but be. It's it's very narcissistic since everybody knows how many wonderful people have been hit with cancer or dying child or friend, or

or spouse, or chronic sickness or bankruptcy or other calamity? Why would you think God would allow it to happen to them, but not you Why are you special, or I dont think Special were that's guess what it's what it means. I know so many decent, wonderful people who would suffered not not in my life only and not even primarily, but just knowing about it from history and and I'm supposed to go. Oh, but I am like everybody else. I will be protected. There are so many wrong ideas about God. It's no wonder that a lot of people have have abandoned religion, that's not religion,

That's celestial butler rhythm, take care of me. I said so I still butler, maybe baby sitter in the sky. So I just, I think people should not have that belief. You have a much better life. If you ask what does God want from you and it starts in my pin with the ten commandments? It's why I'm such a big advocate of the ten commandments you live by the ten commandments. You will live a godly life, you will live a good life. society will be leaving good luck, you know stealing isn't wrong. I have discussed this right that ice on here in this post, judeo christian world for Mass, number of intellectuals. Stealing is wrong. I am To you that in America some saying this, because you were listening and other countries, they national,

public radio had an interview last year during the height of the violence in the United States, the organised violence. With a with a woman who wrote a book in defence of looting, now. It's me an interesting question. Could any faithful, Jew or Christian write a book in defensive looting hard for me to imagine, and it is it's a violation of the eighth commandment, so big deal, ten commandments would solve the world.

problems to a large extent wooden cure cancer. But the one thing you would free up a lot of funds to fine cancer cures does we'd have to spend so much less money on the fence with people just live by the ten commandments. So I thought I share that view with you about God. Ok, let's go to your questions and we begin. I had ass many aims and Tran Citys heads California, but I'm living in Whittier with my husband of five month today. We just realized were pregnant on Saturday and we're having a baby in July. Do you have any advice for newly married couple and newly married couple ebbing away

Thank you. Yes, I give it well congratulations. First of all, you made wise decisions both to get married young and to start having a family you will be rewarded later, not by God, but by the reality of of beef. Able to live a life with the kids grown up already, you'll be young enough, do whatever you want. You'll probably have grown the children, you might have great grandchildren there, a lot of benefits distorting effect The early so advice for newlyweds and newlyweds with the child. I'll start with the child port. This is very sobering advice, but I'm a big believer

Sobering advice because sober advice leads the much more happiness than wishful thinking, advice So here is a line that I made up many years ago about what happens when a child comes ready. That which is created by passion then kills it. It sort of one of the if Europe, if you could laugh at life and you have to swallow the funny you're aspects of life, Passion made that child, then the child comes and that's a pretty good job in most cases of not if not killing, hopefully not killing, certainly lessening it.

You can't make love quite, is often with a baby around, as you did prior to a baby around that's a logistic fact. It is because. the baby. A is around but more important is. Waking up in the middle of the night and least, and one of you is probably dead, tired and your preoccupation as changed. So that's my advice that leads to my advice to part one

newlyweds it is extremely easy and tempting and natural to focus on your child, especially the first. It is also a Bubu. You must focus on each other, just as you did prior to the child coming counter intuitive, because the first charm and The killer is so exciting and you you're going crazy gaga in love with this child, but your love and the beauty of love. It's not apply, you don't you dont lose love by giving love to x. It doesn't stop that amount of love from why an bull pie or any pie. You take a piece away, this less pie, but it's not true with love, so I'm not asking

to love your child, less. I'm simply saying make sure you equally love and showed that love to your spouse, after that, I'll comes in the long run. Your child was much more interested in a happy home. Then in a home where he or she is the center of your attention I think they should be the centre of your attention. Children at any age. To be perfectly honest, you obviously have to attend to them when they are helpless at as a newborn as no question,

you can't say: listen, you know if you need any food, just open the fridge. Obviously that's not possible! You, you feed them. You clean them, you diaper them. You take care of them. I mean they're they're, helpless that that's that's a given. I I have children, I note that raise children, but that this is a very important, really important thing. Your husband must remain the centre of your attention and he must remain the centre of yours. Just as before the baby you dont know that now is the baby's not there, but within a day of the baby's arrival, you will realise that this advice is not natural. The natural thing is to focus almost all of your attention on Tibet,

dial, by the way when children get older, it is even worse to make the child the centre of your life, it's bad for you and it's equally bad for the child. If I may, I got course I may my my chat, I was never the centre of my parents. Attention may be in I don't know about one or two? I have no memories before five, but certainly from five on. I was never that they were each the center of the others. Attention. and while I lamented on occasion and really only on occasion that they were not more affectionate toward me, in the long run it made me who I am, I am happy with the way

I am, I always improve, but I like the fact that I was not the centre of their lives at any age. I thought there was a great thing. They were the centre of each other's lives. I think that's good, they didn't come too. All of my sporting events- in fact, I didn't even want them to They have had an exaggerated sense of masculinity, but I remember thinking I don't really think mommy daddy meet the show up when I play basketball. That was my thinking. Maybe I was wrong, but I'm just telling you the way I thought it sweet to go.

the sum of their games. It's if preoccupation to go to all of their games. That's my view, but that of course much later on you're having a new baby, so my advice you and he must be the centres of attention for both of you baby or no baby. Ok, Right, just thirty one Melbourne, Australia, high from Australia, a k, a prison island, that's correct! It. the prison island when it was founded returned to the prison island because when I listen to you every week, nice thanks, being such a light in this world and speaking such then we live in one of the most lockdown cities in the World CUP dealing with mandated vaccines for most aspects of life. My husband and I both of giving up our employment cannot.

What are the gym or restaurants hours MRS out on pool play groups, etc. With all this pressure to get vastly have lost friends who we feel feel we are dangerous, even if we choose to get a test before seeing them. we realized people, or brainwashed paranoid and unreasonable, is not about science any more. What do you think the agenda is? Is this all about money power and can Rule or is it more sinister and the goal of social credit system Australia's now talking about a digital identity, live? Is this the new world order? I worry about the camps they are building here by the way they did, they built camps for non vaccinated and northern oyster. Basically the why, behind the extreme vaccine, push lots of love and God bless the Popple stones? Ok,.

This is a very long one really important. I've never told people not to get vaccines, aye aye, but I do honour people whose decision made the decision not to take them, But why why the hatred of the non vaccinated they ve been taught that the non vaccinated or killing the vaccinated or that they're taking up all the hospital space? This is largely propaganda. First of all, if you have a vaccine, why do you care if the next guy doesn't have a vaccine? Do you not believe in your vaccinated status? This would be the first time in the history of acceleration that the vaccinated care about whether the next guys not backs and aid,

What good is the vaccine if you're worried about the non vaccinated? Do you know that in the United States over ninety two percent of the population is vaccinated either vaccinated or had covered, so they both have antibodies? What, while so, what is the screaming about the other? Eight percent What is it about? Yes, money in the United States? I don't know about abroad. In the United States, money is a huge factor it. I never knew this them the the number of things I have learned in the last two years makes me one What did I know two years ago them. As I used to defend quote big farmer, I say eight, listen, whatever say: drugs have saved my life and and and many other lives. How can you attacked a big pharmaceutical companies,

But now I realize how much they run their advertising is such a dominant factor in an american life and how much money they give to the c b c, the centre for centres for Disease control in the United States. How much? How much of the billions and billions of dollars, not just an advertising, but in donations due to various causes. Like the c b c, the proof, here's the proof that money is a huge factor, at least in Amerika, for Pfizer, Madeira, Johnson and Johnson in particular. But all the companies.

This might be the first time we have had a an illness and no work was done to find remedies for cures for it. Why is the entire preoccupation with vaccines? Why isn't it with medicines therapeutics as their called you got covert? Take this you'll probably get better while there is this. Drugs chloric women's ink and ever met in, and they have been used all over the world They are among the safest drugs in the world. I Dropsy Chloric when his on the World Health Organization list of of the essential drugs.

The dismissal of ivory mechanism. Hoarsely warmer, is just the well look who's here. This is still be, ladies and gentlemen. Snoopy is currently taking care. Is it autos I or ear I, Yes, he will do this until Otto finally rolls over getting tired of it. It's actually sweet to see them. Take care of cover. You love your brother know you well all right, to the extent that I can compete with its one dog, being the other, which I fully understand, its competition Megan is doing the impossible, pulling Snoopy away from anything. look at that good. All all is good

the money factor is huge and corrupt, the The lack of search for a therapeutic indian States states in India that have used over Mechlin have had tremendous success. One theory as to why Africa has had so few deaths set for South Africa from. From twelve. It is that so many people had already been on. Hydroxide Chloric went to prevent malaria, that's the best reason. I've heard to be perfectly honest, so that's one another is the world is divided between two groups, those who drive properly and those who drive slowly in they passingly left lane in America. Rightly

your country? But there are many divisions, the happy in the unhappy the movie, the non moody, the cheerful the uncheerful, the generous the non generous. I mean there are thousands of divisions, but here's here's one big one. There are people who loved to have power over others, and there are people who don't as one who has zero interest in having any control over another human being. I dont even understand what animates people love control over others, but that must be a very common human desire because it has been practised in so many parts of the world where people love to control other.

people. That's a fact. A factor. Another factor shall money, control and on another factor is fear. Fear, as I said, on, the fireside chats is more powerful than love or hate? I learned that in the last two years I thought, love and hate with the most powerful emotions. Fear is fear, is greater than lover hate so that those are those are three of the factors that have led to the car. Crisis, what's our timing, where I think we have time for another question that correct.

This is from a nurse. Yes interesting hope. Fifty three Grand Rapids Michigan thank this. Thank you. Thank you for your words of wisdom and lessons on courage. I use discourage. Last week. I am a nurse in a large rehabilitation hospital. The unit I work on takes care of our sickest patience. I have taken care of many survivors of covert, who were very debilitated from being ill. A co worker also a nurse posted on social media. The following the majority of patients clogging up our health care system or on vaccinated. You should not be entitled to treatment. You dont trust science enough.

it backs and aided, but you trusted enough to get treatment when you're on debt store. I feel it's a little too it's too little too late. Ironically, this happened the same day as fireside chats number two, thirteen which I heard after this happened. I almost never post them. Hang on social media. But I could not keep quiet about this. I if she knew everyone's personal reason for not being vaccinated. I also pointed out that we take care of everything Regardless of their life choices do smokers or a whole long list of other problems caused by life, joy, deserve to be treated. Of course they do this. vision among us is very concerning how was this ever going to get better.

I don't know how it will get better. I do know that we have to just keep making the case for what we believe. First of all, this this as I, as I have said now repeatedly the hatred of the UN vaccinated the pariah status of the on vaccinated. It is truly remarkable, its hearts to imagine a parallel, maybe blacks in and in the south, in Jim, Jim Crow era Gaze during AIDS, but this this public announced hatred that people say that the than it did anybody say. Blacks did not deserve to be hospital, I said if they were if they were ill and then maybe maybe some troop of pathologic hatred, but it was never widely said Anne. Why only about this? If a man Murderer is wounded by the police guy.

just shut up? Twenty five people were fifty in Vegas. Let's say he were wounded. Would you treated? so someone who was just tortured as a partner or spouse beaten up a baby. There ok judge to treat, but not the unfair some aided even the UN who had covered am and therefore

natural immunity, the the it shows you the power of the media, to build up hatred. This too has been regulatory enemy in the last two years, I thought that the media can only brainwash people in a dictatorship. I found out that they could do it in a free society. It's a real issue, but the we we need to work. We need to calmly state our case and, ultimately, truth prevent the question is how long is ultimately for that? I don't have an answer o k, all it's been great talking to you, my thank you for watching. I want to remind you that fireside chats Number three: nine, fifty eight hundred and seven one

everyone always relevant as this one. The themes are not David. The topics might be contemporary, but this checks are not David, so in other words, look at some past ones chew some seventh friends, because I think what what said here has a lot of significance. At least I hope so, I'm Dennis Prager, thanks again Thank you for watching this video to keep Prager you videos free, please consider making a tax deductible donation,
