You know, they wanted to kill each other.

So don't pretend that your problems are unique.

There's this dangerous conceit from people on the left that we've never faced these problems.

Of course we have.

And you're the same voices that we've heard throughout our history.

The key that we have to keep our focus on is as long as we preserve this system, we can outlast these people, as we have in other ages of rage.

That's why they are so insistent on trying to change the system.

I had a debate with one Harvard professor who admitted that they want to change the Supreme Court because they can't make radical changes to the constitutional system if the Supreme Court is still around.

He'd said that openly.

So this is a concerted knowing effort to try to get rid of the Supreme Court and then to push through these radical agendas that change our system.

Well, I'm not too sure it was so essential to have Strong Thurman with Bacon in his pockets trying to talk for days on end.

Certainly made for good theater, made for a great movie with Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

I think the key here, what I talk about in the region of the republic is that we have to look at preserving these minority protections in our constitutional system.

Everything from the filibuster to the electoral college, ways of

guaranteeing that we have, for example, a federalism system where states have real power to go their own way.

All of those are bulwarks against a tyranny of the majority.

And it's why many of these people on the left want to eliminate that.

You have law professors that said, even without, I talk about this in the book, you have a couple of Yale and Harvard law professors that have argued that they could change the Senate without a constitutional amendment.

so that you can give more representation to more populous states.

I have no idea how they think that comports with the Constitution, but it won't matter.
