Summary

Dennis outlines the four characteristics that make a person great. Fame is not one of them. It also doesn’t include “nice.” Did Pfizer hide bad vax results from their initial studies? That’s the contention of the major German newspaper, Die Welt… Medical students now take an oath to leftism. Medical schools have gone as woke as the rest of the university. This is a tragedy and potentially a dangerous one. How would you like to be treated by one of these woke doctors? Dennis talks to Todd Bensman, Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a Washington, D.C. policy institute. His new book is Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History.

My technical producer Sean just wished me a good show. After all these years,

0:24.0

I'm very touched. My friends, I have an interesting subject for you. Since I have always talked about

0:37.0

everything in life, this would go under that heading. One of the characteristics of a great person.

0:47.6

I developed this idea just recently, wrote about it. It's not published yet, so you're hearing it first

1:03.1

right here. There's a related question, should people aspire to be great people?

1:12.8

There's a big problem, as soon as I raise that question, because people confuse powerful

1:23.6

slash famous with great. That you can't be a great person if you're not famous or powerful.

1:33.1

And that is a real bad development in the modern period.

1:38.5

So people don't aspire to greatness unless they're in major positions of influence.

1:49.7

Terrible, terrible mistake. I have said very often, so some of you may actually recall this,

1:59.6

that the famous are rarely significant and the significant are rarely famous.

2:05.2

Yes, that's a very important guideline here. So when I say to you, do you aspire or do you want your

2:18.2

children to aspire to greatness? You're probably thinking, how can I aspire to it? Not some major public

2:30.4

figure. And that's such a terrible mistake. Before I give you my four characteristics of a great

2:39.8

person that I came up with, I'd like to ask you all to think for a moment. And I'd like you to

2:48.7

think about this too. Put present company aside. Do you know any great people?

3:03.2

I think I know a lot actually. I think you do know a lot. That's correct.

3:08.0

That is, I think you do. I think I do. That's right.

3:12.0

Right. Okay. That's very sweet of you, Sean. I agree with you, but that's not the point.
