Mat Nuclear

And in a deliberative self-government, you obviously try to persuade your fellow citizens.

And there are federal laws against pot, at least.

We'll see how much longer that goes on.

Anyway.

Yes, but regardless, first of all, I have to say goodbye to Matt.

Matt Nuclear, I'm very excited for you to add even more nuclear fire to this show and to the whole network.

So everybody go follow Matt Nuclear.

No, I think, look, I don't think you really believe that the vice president or any other conservative who shares his view or someone who believes in Catholic social teaching actually thinks we should have a politburo, you know, and have Stalin dictating the price of strawberries or anything else.

I don't think you really believe that.

That really isn't.

I mean, you know, you get to JP2 and Chintesi Musanu, which is rewriting or it's a. I'm fully aware it's not part of Catholic social.

I'm saying you're misrepresenting Catholic social teaching.

I mean, if you just look at one of the great examples of Catholic social teaching, John Paul II's Centesimus Annus, which is a rewriting of Rerum Novarum, which is where all of this comes from.

He extols the virtues of the free market.

He just points out that there are also social responsibilities along with it.

JP II was one of the men who took down communism.

So I think in this limited example, I think you're taking down a straw man here.

I guess the way we'll find out is if J.D.

becomes president and he installs a collectivist politburo and he outlaws strawberries specifically for Ben Shapiro,

I will admit I was wrong, but I don't think that's really what he's arguing.
