0:00.0	Hi, everybody. Dennis Prager with FireSight Chat number 309. I didn't even have to ask
0:05.7	Megan the number. Those of you who are long-time Dave O'Tay's of the FireSight Chat may have
0:13.2	marveled at my ability to give the right number without Megan's help. The reason is so many
0:20.3	people have commented on the on 308, the Robert Kennedy Jr. FireSight Chat that I remember
0:29.9	it. Well, if that was 308 by Golly, this is 309. One word on that, I enjoyed it and apparently
0:38.5	many, many people did as well. My task was to bring a very important person to your attention
0:46.9	and to have us understand some of his views and I think that it was helpful in that way. I will
0:55.2	only comment on one aspect that I would like to have emphasized but my point wasn't to make
1:07.7	my points. My point was for you to get to know Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And so I spoke relatively
1:15.8	briefly in the course of the time beyond questions. I just want to note though that here's a man
1:22.5	who is very much of the belief that climate change constitutes an existential threat. I don't

1:37.2	humanity. But it's okay. Let me just give one philosophical note. If I had to agree with everything
1:49.6	that people I admire, believe, or advocate, then I would admire no one. There is no one with whom I
2:01.7	am always in agreement. And I know I am the recipient of that. I have learned so much about human
2:08.8	nature being a public figure. I will get emails. I have actually read this on my radio show where I
2:15.6	will get an email. You know, I've really admired you and adored you for 30 years. And then you
2:23.5	said and then they fill in the blank. And now I realize I can't trust you. And even on occasion,
2:31.2	you're a fraud. I'm thinking I fooled you for 30 years. That's quite an achievement. People
2:41.6	tend toward an all or nothing view. And that's it's a bad thing in all of life. All or nothing. All
2:51.5	or nothing will always lead to nothing. Always. There's no such thing as all. It's like having it all.
3:00.4	This old feminist line, oh, women can have it all. After all, men have it all. Really? You know a
