not really valuing the freedom to not be religious right so if your religion and your religious doctrine indicates that you have to behave a certain way you have to avoid birth control for instance that's great i respect your right to practice your religion but you can't allow your religious doctrine to dictate the lives of everyone else you know that was the point that i was trying to make

No, I totally agree.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

And I think like, just one more point about that.

I mean, I think everything is simplified in the political discourse in this country.

So something like,

reproductive rights.

I think half the country, or at least the portion of the country that doesn't believe in reproductive rights, they've kind of simplified everything in terms of, oh, these are just women who are skanky and they're sleeping around and they just want abortion on demand.

And that's just not the case.

So I just want Americans to kind of understand each other a little better rather than stereotype each other the way that we've been doing for many years now.

Well, the apology was on something very specific.

I have moved away from the I guess you could refer to it as the progressive position on some social issues.

And I'll be specific about that in just a minute.

But first, let me just address the apology.

So Jake and I had a debate prior to the election.

And

I just felt that like using words like Nazi, which Cenk never did, but like Nazi, fascist, Nazi, fascist, like these words, much like the word antisemitism means something.

And when you overuse it, it loses its power.

And I got my graduate degree in political science where you learn political theory, you learn about fascism, like the actual definition of fascism, what it means.
