That's their form.

That's their creational identity.

God gave them to be life for us.

And you shall not take...

a woman who is given for the nurturing of life and turn her into a death agent.

I'm straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles.

It hasn't made us more effective, hasn't made us more lethal, has made fighting more complicated.

There's also, I mean, obviously, the Dobbs decision a couple of years back, which is, I think, significant, worth thinking about here.

Some of these things feel like they're just not on the table, right?

Like repealing the 19th Amendment.

Doug Wilson can talk about that all he wants, but it's, I think, not going to be a demand of the Republican Party anytime soon.

On the other hand, things make their way in in weird ways.

One question I've really had is, does this become a real agenda?

Particularly after Trump, because Trump has this quality of... One way he's able to hold this very strange coalition together is he gives everybody a little bit, and then he'll also happily represent the opposite.

And he has such individual power over the Republican Party that what he says goes.

The people behind him, you know, the J.D.

Vances and Pete Hegsess and R.K.

Juniors, nobody has that kind of power.

And so they actually, they both are often more true believers than he is.

I mean, I don't think Donald Trump is reading Bronze Age Pervert or any of this stuff.
