Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

Well, I did actually.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

So here's the funny thing.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

I was a Marxist up until this point.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

And so I was criticizing all this craziness, this, you know, like identity politics from the left.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

But then they came after me.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

The whole left came after me.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

So I flipped immediately because I said, these people are totalitarian.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

So I became a libertarian almost in a heartbeat because it was clear to me that without individual rights, we don't have anything.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

If you don't have individual rights, I don't care what economy you have or whatever, you're in bad shape.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

So I fought for that and became a libertarian and never looked back.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

Right.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

So you want less government.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

Frankly, I ran for president as a libertarian.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

I want no state at all.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

Wow, no state.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

So only federal?

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

Anti-status, yeah.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

So, you know, that's not what I'm arguing today.

Digital Social Hour
The U.S. Needs to Take Back Control... | Michael Rectenwald | DSH #1874

It's not part of my politics with the PAC, which we'll talk about, I'm sure.
