0:00.0	Hi everybody, welcome to FireSide Chat number 265. 264. Close.
0:05.6	Four, not bad. I'm back. Oh, I'm Dennis Prigger and this is Otto. Who, if I were a betting man,
0:15.5	I would bet we'll stay in for the entire FireSide Chat. It's actually been months since he hasn't
0:24.2	stayed the whole time, right? Where's Snoopy? Snoopy was just here. I was just petting him. Anyway,
0:31.9	welcome. My chance to share with you some thoughts that I have and then take your questions.
0:40.1	Well, first of all, I just came back from Denmark. I was invited to Denmark to give a speech. I spoke
0:47.2	to get nervous. He's gotten me hyper now. It's really funny. It's rare that I get nervous.
0:59.2	But when he moves, I'm thinking, bye-bye. So I was invited to Denmark to give a speech and
1:08.5	actually it was at the Danish Parliament in Copenhagen. It was not too the Parliament. I don't
1:15.5	want to exaggerate. But a member of Parliament gave us one of the beautiful rooms there.
1:22.0	And it was the Danish Free Speech Society that brought me there. And I accepted the invitation
1:30.6	because it was a great chance for a wonderful little vacation with my wife to be perfectly honest.
1:37.0	Because I wanted to support their cause and because, and this, I think you'll find the most
1:42.6	interesting of my reasons. My favorite thing in travel for the last, I would say a couple of decades.
1:55.1	If used to be scenery, because I've been to 131 countries, travel has been a very important thing
2:01.2	to me. Started at 18. I didn't miss a year except for 2020 when it was impossible to go anywhere.
2:07.5	I used to be, I went for, I traveled for great scenery, natural scenery, mountains, rivers, oceans,
2:17.2	and man-made scenery, gorgeous cathedrals, the Taj Mahal, whatever it might be.
2:25.2	But I would say in the last half of my life, it's been to meet people.
2:30.8	As I've often said, I've said all of my life actually, I love people and have contempt for humanity.
2:41.0	Because it's the truth. Am I, am I, I want to show, oh no. Now you know I was nervous.
2:48.6	He left. Didn't you think he was, I said I, if I were a betting man, it's a good, I'm not a betting man.
