And by the end of it, just like in each chapter, I actually want the reader to say, Maybe I do agree with progressives on this because, gosh, this has me in my feels. I feel so much empathy for this person that I cannot see the other side of this issue. But then what I do is I tell an equally heart-rending story from the other side.

So in the same chapter, I tell in great detail the story of Kate Steinle, who at 32 years old was shot in the back by an illegal alien. In San Francisco, her last words were, help me, daddy, as she breathed her last breath. This person had been deported several times and had committed violent crimes, but San Francisco's sanctuary city policies shielded him.

And that was a preventable crime, and yet she died. And so I do the same thing in every chapter because I want people to understand that, yeah, you're only hearing this heart-rending story from the progressive perspective about this one person. But let me shift your focus to the person on the other side of this.

But at the end of the day, I don't just want to have competing anecdotes because there are people on every side of every issue that are affected and have really important stories. But at the end of the day, the question is, what is true? What is true in principle when it comes to immigration? The truth is, is that countries should be sovereign. We should have a right to our borders.

We should have a right to protect our citizens. We should, in principle, put our citizens first. But also, when you look at the statistics of the crimes committed, unfortunately, by illegal immigrants, and we realize that every single one of those crimes is preventable, that also gives us a perspective of what is really going on versus what the

What I prescribe, especially for the Christians, but again, this could apply to anyone, is a truth in love approach. It's not cruelty. It's not callousness. It's not being mean or be offensive for the sake of being mean or offensive at all. It's actually believe in gentleness. But I do believe in being kind. on wavering in the truth.

And I do believe that telling the truth, especially about these big issues that have such great consequences for people, especially young people, when it comes to things like gender, is actually the most loving approach. So truth and love, I think, is much more effective in changing people for the better than this toxic empathy.

Yeah, you know, I think so. And some people think that we can somehow separate what we believe about God or what we believe religiously from public life and our conversations about law and politics. But the fact of the matter is, is that every single law, every policy,

that we advocate for goes back to a worldview, a definition of morality, a belief in some kind of moral authority who gets to say what's good and what's bad. And I think that we are so scared of offending. We are so scared of coming off as unempathetic that we are unwilling to say, no, this is the definition of what is good. This is the definition of what is bad.

And of course, in a pluralistic society, we're going to have disagreements and we're going to have debates and discussions surrounding those things. But we at least have to acknowledge, that there is a truth, that there is a reality. C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity, when he is trying to confront this myth of moral relativism, he points out two important things. One is an analogy.

If I'm drawing a picture of New York City, first of all, it's gonna be really bad because I'm not an artist. Versus an artist who drew a picture of New York City, someone would be able to tell you that this is closer to the real New York. My rendering of New York is not just as accurate as someone else's rendering of New York.
