Speaker 3: Hi everybody, and I know this is a strange moment
Speaker 3: because this is he was very comfortable till I lifted
Speaker 3: my hand that was Charlie. By the way, that Charlie
Speaker 3: belongs to Rodrigo. Rodrigo is behind the camera now, and
Speaker 3: Charlie and I have a fairly long relationship. Nothing like this,
Speaker 3: of course I can do. Oh my god, you're up
Speaker 3: to day Outtle the man, America's best known dog. All right, everybody,
Speaker 3: welcome to the fireside chat. I'm Dennis Prager. This is
Speaker 3: number one hundred, and this is number one hundred and
Speaker 3: seventy two. That's a lot. And we haven't missed a
Speaker 3: week in one hundred seventy two weeks. That is that right,
Speaker 3: That's what's amazing. Well, how do I explain this to
Speaker 3: those of you who are new to me. It is
Speaker 3: just a chance to completely spontaneously offer you some thoughts
Speaker 3: about life about America, about a whole host of issues,
Speaker 3: and take your questions. And that's really what it's about.
Speaker 3: It is ninety nine percent unrehearsed. So you'll say, what
Speaker 3: is the one percent? The one percent is I do
Speaker 3: give thought to what I will open up talking about.
Speaker 3: That's true. I do. Today's talk. Today's opening is so
Speaker 3: important that I hope number one seventy two will go viral.
Speaker 3: That's how important I think the subject is. So want
Speaker 3: to explain to you what I think is one of
Speaker 3: the two or three most important things people have clearout
Speaker 3: life in order to understand life and to have wisdom,
Speaker 3: which is the same thing as understand life. Human nature
Speaker 3: is not basically good. I've talked about this on many occasions.
Speaker 3: I have a prayger You video on it. People don't
Speaker 3: quite understand why it's as important as I know it is,
Speaker 3: and I won't give you all the reasons it's so
Speaker 3: important to understand how profoundly flawed human nature is. I
Speaker 3: want to make something clear. There is good in human nature.
Speaker 3: There's no question about that. Otherwise you couldn't explain any goodness.
Speaker 3: There is goodness on earth. After all, there are people
Speaker 3: who are good. They work on themselves and they work
Speaker 3: on their nature, or in some cases they're just luckily
Speaker 3: born with a really good nature that is not the
Speaker 3: usual flawed nature. But the reason I'm raising it today
Speaker 3: is that to understand what is happening in America today,
Speaker 3: this is the key thing to understand. So I'll go
Speaker 3: to the conclusion and then I'll work backwards. If you
Speaker 3: understand how flawed human nature is, you will understand what
Speaker 3: a moral achievement America is. That's it. That's the key
Speaker 3: to what I want you to understand today. See, if
Speaker 3: you have really mundane ingredients and make a terrific meal
Speaker 3: out of it, that's a big achievement. If you have
Speaker 3: spectacular ingredients, it's not as big an achievement. Given the
Speaker 3: ingredients of human and nature, what America baked itself into,
Speaker 3: if you will, cooked itself into, is an astonishing achievement.
Speaker 3: But if you think people are basically good, which a
Speaker 3: lot of people, especially the well educated, because they don't
Speaker 3: understand much and unfortunately I mean that literally, they think, well,
Speaker 3: human nature is good. So of course it's astonishing how
Speaker 3: terrible America is. If you start out with the appreciation
Speaker 3: of the raw material, then you marvel at how good
Speaker 3: America became. Of course, America has bad aspects to it,
Speaker 3: of course it does. How could it not look at
Speaker 3: the raw material human beings, nation, what country, what tribe,
Speaker 3: what group, has not had a profoundly flawed society. That's why,
Speaker 3: among other things, you have to compare America to other
Speaker 3: places who made as free a place for as many
Speaker 3: people from as many backgrounds. Nobody This is not to
Speaker 3: say that all Americans are good. A lot of Americans
Speaker 3: are awful, in fact, more today than perhaps ever before
Speaker 3: in some ways, which is a very sad thing for
Speaker 3: me to say, because it's a very painful subject. But
Speaker 3: given again this raw material, it is astonishing what we
Speaker 3: made here, what Americans made here. So let me deal
Speaker 3: with their raw material. Very rarely I use notes. But
Speaker 3: there are so many lousy parts to human nature. I
Speaker 3: had to make a list of some of them. This
Speaker 3: is not an exhaustive list, and it's not in any
Speaker 3: order of importance. When you realize what people want, what
Speaker 3: animates them, and then you realize that this place has
Speaker 3: been pretty darn good with all its flaws, the flaws
Speaker 3: are completely understandable. The good parts are a riddle, the freedom,
Speaker 3: the opportunity, the working through the terrible origins that had
Speaker 3: racism in them. That is, it's an amazing achievement given
Speaker 3: human nature. So here are some parts of human nature
Speaker 3: I thought i'd share with you that are, shall we say, difficult,
Speaker 3: no order of importance. A vast number of people, for example,
Speaker 3: yearn for power. Power. The desire to have power over
Speaker 3: other people is apparently very widespread. It is especially true
Speaker 3: in many men. And I must admit I have a
Speaker 3: flawed nature like anybody else. This is not one of
Speaker 3: my built in flaws. There is zero, zero desire in
Speaker 3: me to have power over anybody else. I can't even
Speaker 3: I know it's there, I know how widespread it is,
Speaker 3: but I must tell you I have no relationship to it.
Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons I didn't run for office.
Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons I'm conservative. I want I
Speaker 3: don't want anybody that power over me either. I want
Speaker 3: me to have power over me. I want my moral
Speaker 3: co to have power over me. I want God to
Speaker 3: have power over me. And that's it. So I don't
Speaker 3: want to have power over anybody else. And that, by
Speaker 3: the way, that was the American founding dream. Small government,
Speaker 3: so that you can develop individually to the best of
Speaker 3: your ability, without the most universal thing in the world,
Speaker 3: strong government, Princes, kings, queens, emperors, other governments, dictators, tyrannies.
Speaker 3: I mean, think about it. The human norm has been
Speaker 3: for the state to have power over the individual. America
Speaker 3: was founded to reduce the power of the state. There
Speaker 3: is no other country in the world founded on the
Speaker 3: basis of limited government. How this alone ran against human nature.
Speaker 3: People want power. That's why the America is divided into
Speaker 3: three co equal branches, the Presidency, the Congress, and the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, because they didn't trust humans with power. Power corrupts,
Speaker 3: and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's a famous statement by
Speaker 3: the British Lord acton So that alone, it is astonishing
Speaker 3: how much freedom we made in America, not we Americans
Speaker 3: before me. Given the yearning for power number two, I
Speaker 3: could just spend time on that, the yearning for fame
Speaker 3: and recognition. So many people want to be famous, and
Speaker 3: so many people want recognition. That's a reason so many
Speaker 3: people want to be politicians. Some politicians are in it
Speaker 3: for idealistic reasons. Most are in it because you know,
Speaker 3: you got a lot of fame if you're a senator,
Speaker 3: just to give an example, and recognition. People ache for recognition. People.
Speaker 3: Half the people in Hollywood didn't enter it just because
Speaker 3: they love acting. If they just loved acting, they'd have
Speaker 3: joined a Shakespeare group in Boise, Idaho. But they want
Speaker 3: to have their name on a movie theater. They want
Speaker 3: to get an Academy award. Remember, why do they so
Speaker 3: often say when they do get an Academy award everything. Okay, Feller,
Speaker 3: See when I talk about fame and recognition, he perkscept, Okay,
Speaker 3: you know what, little humility? Never heard of dog. So
Speaker 3: this is a massive desire. I want to be known.
Speaker 3: When I talk to kids, and I mean kids, I
Speaker 3: mean eighth graders, what do you want to be when
Speaker 3: you grow up? So many answer famous. That's what you
Speaker 3: want to be is famous. That's depressing to me because then,
Speaker 3: by the way, I ask them, why would you like
Speaker 3: to be famous for? Now, if the kids said a
Speaker 3: cure for cancer, okay, sounds good to me, they just
Speaker 3: want to be famous, So they say for anything. So
Speaker 3: I say anything. You want to be famous for most
Speaker 3: hamburgers eaten in a day or in two hours. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And by the way, that's what we do have, the
Speaker 3: yearning for people. What is Instagram if not a desire
Speaker 3: for recognition and fame. This is a huge thing in
Speaker 3: the human condition, another terribly flawed aspect. Now, look, everybody
Speaker 3: wants recognition for the good and the achievements they've had.
Speaker 3: That's normal, that's good, there's no I have no issue
Speaker 3: with that. But to but to seek recognition, to seek
Speaker 3: fame as an end that's a very big problem, and
Speaker 3: it leads to corruption in government because the people are
Speaker 3: not there to serve you. They are there to serve
Speaker 3: their fame and recognition. Number three a yearning to be important.
Speaker 3: That's related to the other one. This is a or
Speaker 3: I'll add to that, a yearning to think you are wonderful.
Speaker 3: The whole woke thing is that, Oh, look at me.
Speaker 3: Look at how anti racist I am. Look at how
Speaker 3: I am fighting transphobia. Look at how I am fighting homophobia.
Speaker 3: Look at how I am fighting islamophobia. Look at how
Speaker 3: I am fighting. And then you name the evil that
Speaker 3: you wish to fight, you feel great about yourself. But
Speaker 3: what if, in fact, there just isn't that much to fight.
Speaker 3: This country is the least racist multiracial country in the
Speaker 3: history of the world. It's one thing to afford racism
Speaker 3: and Jim Crow and when slavery, but in the early
Speaker 3: part of the twenty first century, there's just not that
Speaker 3: much in America. I proved it in an article. I
Speaker 3: wrote proofs that there were so little racism in America.
Speaker 3: And I'll give you just one because I don't want
Speaker 3: to go through all of that list, And that is microaggressions.
Speaker 3: Microaggressions proves how little racism there is. They have to
Speaker 3: invent it. So if you say there's only one race
Speaker 3: the human race, University of California's lists of microaggressions says,
Speaker 3: that's a racist. There's only one race is racist. It's
Speaker 3: the opposite of racism. So there's another reason that human
Speaker 3: nature can lead to a disintegration of society. The yearning
Speaker 3: to think you're terrific and important and famous and so on.
Speaker 3: Next you know, you read about a Jeffrey Epstein, and
Speaker 3: you read about all these people, all these men who
Speaker 3: have sexually harassed or charged with sexual harassment, and all
Speaker 3: the other aspects of people where sex is a very
Speaker 3: powerful drive. According to Freud, it's the most powerful drive,
Speaker 3: and that could lead and it does. It leads to
Speaker 3: a lot of terrible stuff. It has to be kept
Speaker 3: in check. But who teaches kids that you have to
Speaker 3: keep yourself in check? For all of my adult life,
Speaker 3: I have explained the difference between a religious education and
Speaker 3: a secular education. When I had my religious Jewish education
Speaker 3: through twelfth grade, half day in Hebrew, half day in English,
Speaker 3: very rigorous education in Judaism, and kids with Christianity, the
Speaker 3: same thing. You learn the biggest battle in your life
Speaker 3: is with you, or as I always put it, I
Speaker 3: was taught that the biggest problem in Dennis Prager's life
Speaker 3: is Dennis Prager. But not in secular schools, you learn
Speaker 3: that the biggest problem in your life is something outside
Speaker 3: of you, like America. So while the religious are battling themselves,
Speaker 3: the secular not all this is a generalization, are especially
Speaker 3: on the left, They're battling America, not themselves. Mixed lack
Speaker 3: of wisdom. We're not born wise and without wisdom, all
Speaker 3: the good intentions in the world are useless. In fact,
Speaker 3: good intentions without wisdom usually leads to evil. What is it?
Speaker 3: The road to hell is paved with good intentions, that's it.
Speaker 3: Why is that? Because those people don't have wisdom, they
Speaker 3: just have good intentions. Good intentions without wisdom leads to hell.
Speaker 3: And we're leading America to hell today. All these good intentions. Oh,
Speaker 3: I'm here to fight racism. I'm here to fight all
Speaker 3: these phobias. I'm here to fight capitalism. That's not wise.
Speaker 3: Lack of courage is a very very normative part of
Speaker 3: the human condition. Very few humans are born courageous. You
Speaker 3: have to want to be courageous. To be courageous. It
Speaker 3: doesn't come naturally to almost anybody. Some people have it naturally,
Speaker 3: very few do. So therefore you have this herd mentality.
Speaker 3: And I will admit I wrote about this in a
Speaker 3: recent column The Good American. That's what it's called, and
Speaker 3: how few Americans are exhibiting courage today. Oh, you want
Speaker 3: to close down my business with a lockdown, Governor Newsom,
Speaker 3: go right ahead. We won't protest. Yes, I can no
Speaker 3: longer feed my fan family properly, but I'm going to
Speaker 3: let my restaurant die. I won't even open it up.
Speaker 3: Or people wearing masks outdoors when they're walking their dog,
Speaker 3: this is a herd mentality. I'm not telling you not
Speaker 3: to wear a mask indoors when you go to a
Speaker 3: restaurant or when you go to a store. No, but
Speaker 3: it's a little scary to watch people walking pretty much
Speaker 3: alone outdoors and wearing a mask. That's a herd mentality.
Speaker 3: That's not science. Oh, how's this one. People don't yearn
Speaker 3: to be free, People yearn to be taken care of.
Speaker 3: I've talked about that on occasion. Liberty is a value
Speaker 3: not an instinct. I'm talking to you about all these
Speaker 3: built in flaws in human nature, and we still built
Speaker 3: America the way it is. The yearning for utopia. People
Speaker 3: really believe that you could make a place where there's
Speaker 3: no more inequality, and there's no more hatred, and there's
Speaker 3: no more there's no such thing as no more. That
Speaker 3: doesn't exist. We can lessen, we can improve, and we have,
Speaker 3: but you can't have a place with none of these things.
Speaker 3: It doesn't exist except in the imagination of PhDs. Ingratitude,
Speaker 3: Oh God, that alone explains what's going on in America.
Speaker 3: Human beings are not grateful by nature. I have a
Speaker 3: simple proof. How many times have you been told when
Speaker 3: you were a kid, or did you tell your kids
Speaker 3: say thank you? If we were naturally grateful, why would
Speaker 3: we have to be told ten thousand times say thank you?
Speaker 3: Because it doesn't come naturally. Gratitude is a value, not
Speaker 3: an instinct. Ingratitude is normal, and that's what the left
Speaker 3: has for America. They are not only ungrateful, they teach
Speaker 3: others to be ungrateful. I would say that if I
Speaker 3: had to define the average BA masters or PhD, it's
Speaker 3: a degree in ingratitude. That's what you get at our
Speaker 3: schools today. How can we produce ungrateful people? And ungrateful
Speaker 3: people are miserable human beings, both in both senses of
Speaker 3: miserable unhappy and the way they treat other people. Ungrateful
Speaker 3: people are awful people, and our schools produce them in
Speaker 3: the millions. Oh, finally, the psychological impediments to being a
Speaker 3: decent person, even all the built in then there's other
Speaker 3: stuff that the person who just has physiological issues, you know,
Speaker 3: psychological physiological issues, which prevents them from appreciating what they have.
Speaker 3: So it's incredibly hard to make a decent society with
Speaker 3: this raw material. So America is divided between left and right.
Speaker 3: The right knows how flawed human nature is and says, Wow,
Speaker 3: what an achievement America is. The left doesn't acknowledge how
Speaker 3: flawed human nature is and looks at it and goes,
Speaker 3: what a miserable society. Okay, that's important stuff. If I'm
Speaker 3: allowed to say that myself. We begin with your questions.
Speaker 3: Take it away.
Speaker 4: Hi, my name is Sophia dugl I'm seventeen years old
Speaker 4: and I'm from Newport Beach, California. So at least half
Speaker 4: of Americans, some seventy four plus million people, feel they
Speaker 4: were robbed of their constitutionally granted voice in this past election.
Speaker 4: How do you suggest or what do you suggest these
Speaker 4: Americans do to cope with the fact that there appears
Speaker 4: to be somewhat of a double standard and one party
Speaker 4: seems to be above the.
Speaker 3: Okay, Look, it's true tens of millions of Americans are
Speaker 3: very suspicious with regard to the last election. But the
Speaker 3: question if I may, if I if I may sophia
Speaker 3: is even larger than that because people can dismiss it, Oh,
Speaker 3: you're crazy, you're paranoid, you you you're hallucinating, You're you're
Speaker 3: making up stuff. So let's talk about stuff. The division
Speaker 3: in America that that can't be denied, the suppression of
Speaker 3: free speech. Half of America thinks it's okay, and half
Speaker 3: of America thinks it's evil to suppress free speech. That's
Speaker 3: that's one we could all acknowledge that we have this
Speaker 3: massive division on I want when I fight, I fight
Speaker 3: using clarity. Clarity is my best weapon where I can
Speaker 3: have it happens on my radio. So look, I have
Speaker 3: thirty five years of practice of dialoguing and debating with
Speaker 3: people who don't agree with me. And I've learned a lot, obviously,
Speaker 3: And one of the things is, and it happens a lot,
Speaker 3: and it's very touching where someone will call up and
Speaker 3: disagree with me, and then I'll give an answer very calmly,
Speaker 3: and then there's a little silence and they go, oh.
Speaker 3: And I always commend them because they actually listened to
Speaker 3: my answer and then took it in. So forty to
Speaker 3: fifty percent of America's young people think it's okay to
Speaker 3: suppress hate speech. They say, oh, we believe in free speech,
Speaker 3: but not for hastepee hate speech. But of course they
Speaker 3: don't realize then they're not for free speech. Free speech
Speaker 3: includes hate speech, or what you define is hate speech.
Speaker 3: Otherwise what is the point of speech? Otherwise free speech
Speaker 3: means there's only free speech for love speech. Then then
Speaker 3: there isn't free speech. Who's against free speech for love speech?
Speaker 3: Nobody's suppressing I love you. It's where people differ, and
Speaker 3: you then have been taught to label what you differ
Speaker 3: with hate speech. If somebody actually says, I don't think
Speaker 3: it's fair for biological men to compete against biological women,
Speaker 3: in sports. Why is that hatred. You may differ with them,
Speaker 3: You may think it's fair. I think it's cheating, because
Speaker 3: if biological men can in fact compete against biological women
Speaker 3: in sports, then there's no reason for women's teams to
Speaker 3: begin with. If men don't have biological men. I'm not
Speaker 3: denying that there are men who believe that they are women,
Speaker 3: and I honor that. That's fine. If your name is Cynthia,
Speaker 3: now I will call you Cynthia. I'm not being cute.
Speaker 3: That's a separate issue. But allowing you with your male
Speaker 3: body that you can't get rid of, allowing you with
Speaker 3: your male muscles, your male bone structure, your greater height
Speaker 3: in most instances to race against females, that's called cheating,
Speaker 3: anti cheating. Okay, but what I just said would be
Speaker 3: labeled by Facebook as hate speech or the new term misinformation.
Speaker 3: It's misinformation that there's a need for women's teams and
Speaker 3: men's teams. If biological men can compete against biological women,
Speaker 3: then let us end men's teams in women's team Because
Speaker 3: you're denying that men have an advantage in sports. Okay,
Speaker 3: what I just said is so obvious that you have
Speaker 3: to have been brainwashed from early grades to believe otherwise,
Speaker 3: what I just said is not debatable. Now, I won't
Speaker 3: suppress your right to say something foolish, but I will
Speaker 3: acknowledge it is not the debatable. Men biological the biology
Speaker 3: of males is advantageous, which is the only reason we
Speaker 3: have female teams and female track right, That's the reason.
Speaker 3: Otherwise men and women would compete in every sport. But
Speaker 3: we know men have a physical advantage. They don't lose
Speaker 3: that advantage just because they say they're women. So, Sophia,
Speaker 3: it goes well beyond this election. The differences are so profound.
Speaker 3: So what did you want to know? How do you
Speaker 3: suggest what these Americans do? We have to articulate our position.
Speaker 3: There are tens of millions of us. We have to
Speaker 3: articulate our position constantly and eloquently. Will they shut you down?
Speaker 3: Yes they will, But it's hard to shut down seventy
Speaker 3: million people who keep talking, then two million people who
Speaker 3: keep talking, and sixty eight million who are afraid to
Speaker 3: speak up. What's our timing? Good? Chris Rolling, North Carolina
Speaker 3: Prager Force member Hi Chris Hi, Dennis Otto, Snoopy in
Speaker 3: Megan's arm. Well, that is nice. I hope when I
Speaker 3: am your age, Dennis, I have experienced the full enough
Speaker 3: life to have an ounce of the wisdom you possess.
Speaker 3: The issue is not that I've had a full life.
Speaker 3: I've had a full life. The reason that I have
Speaker 3: wisdom is because I was steeped in religion from a
Speaker 3: very early age. And it's because and this I don't
Speaker 3: even take credit for, I wanted wisdom from a very
Speaker 3: early age. You have to whatevery goal you want. You
Speaker 3: have to want it. You don't become a decent person,
Speaker 3: a good person, even by being one. You have to
Speaker 3: want to become one. You have to want to be wise,
Speaker 3: and you could become wise. That's the reason I have
Speaker 3: read wiser thinkers than me. But you don't learn wiser
Speaker 3: thinkers than you any longer. In American schools they dropped
Speaker 3: Shakespeare because he's a white male. But who cares if
Speaker 3: he's a white male. I only care if he has
Speaker 3: wisdom to impart. But the unwise are now teaching our
Speaker 3: kids how to be unwise. So yes, So now that
Speaker 3: Chris's question continues. In a recent fireside chat, you mentioned
Speaker 3: a moral obligation to be happy. Can you expand on
Speaker 3: the idea of being and not acting happy, especially in
Speaker 3: hard times. Thank you for everything you do, You're welcome,
Speaker 3: Thank you for your thank you well. My whole thesis
Speaker 3: is we have a moral obligation to act happy. We
Speaker 3: cannot impose our bad moods on others anymore than people
Speaker 3: impose their bad breath or bad body odour on others.
Speaker 3: And just like we wash away our odors, we should
Speaker 3: wash away our moods. So I'm adamant about that. Even
Speaker 3: if you're feeling bad, you can't inflict your bad mood
Speaker 3: on me. Now, I'm not talking about people who have
Speaker 3: no capability of controlling themselves because of physiological problems, the manic,
Speaker 3: depressive or the schizophrenic, for example. I understand that. I
Speaker 3: understand that if you just lost your child, you're not
Speaker 3: going to be walking around smiling. I'm well aware of this.
Speaker 3: My dearest friend from high school just lost his child,
Speaker 3: and I'm going through this with him, and I don't
Speaker 3: expect him to sit there and act like nothing happened.
Speaker 3: But for most of us, most of the time, we
Speaker 3: should in fact try to act happy, by the way,
Speaker 3: for our sake as much as for others, because how
Speaker 3: you act will in fact affect your feelings. Act X,
Speaker 3: you'll feel X. Okay, Craig thirty three Los Angeles is
Speaker 3: the Craig I know he is a nuisance. This guy's
Speaker 3: like a stalker. Tell him what are your Super Bowl predictions?
Speaker 3: So let me explain. I know why he asked this
Speaker 3: because he thinks I'm out of it. Now. You guys
Speaker 3: are witnesses. Not only did I know who's playing? I
Speaker 3: told you the quarterback's names. Is that correct? Okay, just
Speaker 3: want to make that clear. But since you asked Tampa Bay, Okay,
Speaker 3: that's not to say they will. I'm just telling you
Speaker 3: what I think will happen. So I'll ask you something, Craig,
Speaker 3: who's going to win the Stanley Cup, to which he's
Speaker 3: going to say, what sport is that? I got him?
Speaker 3: He thinks that a guy named Stanley gives a cup away? Okay,
Speaker 3: got them back, didn't I. What's our state? Oh we are?
Speaker 3: Let's see. Oh the next one is so good. Eric
Speaker 3: and Benton, Pennsylvania. One of my sons lives in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3: A warmsput for Pennsylvania about the self discipline. So stay
Speaker 3: tuned for the next fireside chat. That's the best way
Speaker 3: to do it. Listen, folks, what I began with is
Speaker 3: really important. I marvel at what good has been produced
Speaker 3: in this country given human nature, and given how much
Speaker 3: corruption has torn down societies around the world because of
Speaker 3: human nature. That's basic to judging a society, given human nature,
Speaker 3: what did it produce? Okay? Thanks for being with me
Speaker 3: on behalf of Otto. Don't why you hyperventilating? Okay, that's
Speaker 3: my man. Thanks for being with me. See you next
Speaker 3: week tomorrow.
Speaker 1: On Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager.
Speaker 3: Well, this one is personal.
Speaker 5: On a boat two of all places, Antarctica, with seventy
Speaker 5: listeners to my radio show, I gave two talks on
Speaker 5: my life, one personal and one development of my ideas.
Speaker 5: This is a full two hours. I hope you'll enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Join us tomorrow to hear more on Timeless Wisdom with
