hi everybody dennis prager here for
fireside chat number 253. 254. 254.
did i say my name because i'm supposed
to every time did i say i'm dennis
prager i don't know hi i'm dennis prager
this is otto okay
i want to talk to you about fear
and then i'll take your questions
it's such a big
issue so huge
it's almost
one can say
if not the
one of the one or two or three most
animating
impulses in human life
love
anger hate
loyalty religion
fear is up there and the reason that i'm
raising it
today is that i had on my radio show
for those of you don't know i have a
national radio show you could you could
listen slash watch it anywhere in the
world very easy go to dennis prager dot
com they will listen to the show
and i had a guest a man i have great
great admiration for he is a
psychiatrist in los angeles
mark mcdonald
oh i got scared that he was getting up
already
if he stays 15 minutes i could live with
it but the first three minutes
mark mcdonald is a psychiatrist so to be
a psychiatrist in case you don't know
you have to be an md medical doctor
psychologists are not medical doctors
psychiatrists are
and he wrote a book just now
freedom from fear correct
and it's an important little book
it's a 12-step program to
stop your addiction as he calls it like
people are addicted to drugs they're
addicted to fear
he has a very interesting thesis on that
which i hope i will remember to come
back to
this
this psychiatrist did an interesting
thing
he declared himself a dissenter
on covid
and on therapeutics from the rest of
much of the medical community
therapeutics meaning
things like hydroxychloroquine with zinc
and ivermectin
and he's gotten threats that he'll lose
his license which is
unbelievable
a doctor cannot recommend one of the
safest drugs we have
maybe he's wrong but maybe he's right
isn't a doctor allowed
to
prescribe for a patient what he or she
thinks will help the patient
so he
came out of the club well i don't think
he was ever in the closet but he he
announced who he was and i asked him
what happened to your clientele after
all he's in a part of los angeles which
is already liberal left and
he lost a third of his patients
when he appeared on my show and he wrote
his first book
but that's not the end of the story
big tech censorship continues to be a
big challenge for prageru and it's more
important than ever that our audience
watches our content on our platform to
