If you're hurting a child, taking away a child's innocence, we're coming for you.
I completely agree. And just drill home every day that this guy is saying, screw you, to the United States Supreme Court. Maybe that'll give a backbone, which has been lacking so far for John Roberts and some of the others.
Hello there, ma'am.
That is very true, and now I have to find something new to listen to.
Dan, thank you for having me. Always a pleasure to be here.
It's a great observation, Dan. You know, they're experts on everything. The minute we have a COVID vaccine, they're all mRNA specialists. Anytime there's any gun violence, they all know absolutely everything about firearms. But yes, whenever we question them, we're not permitted to comment. And it's especially a silly point to make during a debate, because the whole premise of a debate is,
is that there is such a thing as objective truth, and we can all perceive something about it, and we can all reason about it and have ideas and persuade one another. If you make the claim that you can only then what you're really saying is we can't speak at all. No one can have any debates. No one can have any conversations.
And then what you're saying is that you can't have self-government because the whole premise of self-government is that we can know something about the world, we can persuade our fellow citizens, and we can figure out how we want to live. So really it's just a way to concede a debate implicitly, which I think is basically what these people did.
I think you're totally right about that. It is a proxy fight. Sometimes people will say, why are we spending so much time talking about this relatively small percentage of the population? And my answer is always, look, I didn't bring it up. I'm not the one changing the laws and taking away women's bathrooms and alike, you guys brought it up.
And for a reason, because as you say, Dan, it is a proxy battle about something much deeper. I think there are two things going on with the left's obsession with LGBT. The first one is, I think that they want to get people riled up as pertains to their appetites. You know, sex is a really important part of human nature and always has been.
And so if you can get people really consumed with all kinds of passions and lusts, they're not going to be in their right minds, and it's going to be much easier to manipulate them. So I think that's the first little political objective that's going on.
But then the second one, I think, is that because sex is so important to human nature, really what the left is doing is just waging a war, an attempt to redefine human nature. And you've seen this for hundreds of years. I mean, perhaps most notably... the Jacobins and later the communists, said that they could redefine human nature.
I mean, Marx in the Theses on Feuerbach, I think it was in number six, says that philosophy up until this point has sought to understand human nature, but what he endeavors to do is to change human nature. And so when the left pushes this ideology that says, you know, a man can be a woman or something like that, What he's doing is not just trying to flatter a small percentage of society.
He's trying to make a claim about human nature. He's saying, look, if we can change a man into a woman, then we can do anything. Then we, through the power of the state and our leftist ideology, are omnipotent. We are going to be gods among men. There is nothing that you can do to stop us. And that's an ideology that's much, much older than the rainbow flag.
well i think you're you're definitely seeing introspection among the corporate and elite democrats you know i think you you mentioned alex carp or even just mark zuckerberg richard payton certain any of these billionaire masters of the universe who usually side with the dams you know if they were all lining up at the trump inauguration they're cool in it with the d e i policies and that the lgbt policies too however the ideologues are not giving up and i think it's because they can't you know their their political program
is one of maximizing individual autonomy, especially their own autonomy, and of really total control over all aspects of human life. So if they come out all of a sudden after November and they say, you know what, actually, we are going to respect national boundaries. You know what, actually, we are going to respect the definition of marriage and family. You know, we are going to respect...
parents' rights and the rights of local communities and just objective truth, if they come out and say that, they will be conceding a major limit on their own power. And so I just don't see any way that the AOCs of the world can do that.
And so you're going to have the Alex Carps and the Mark Zuckerbergs banging their heads against the wall saying, guys, we're not going to win another election for 50 years if you keep this up. But if you're a true believer, if you're a real leftist ideologue, and you've already come this far, I don't really see how you turn around.
I totally agree, Dan. The propaganda has been so frustrating because, you know, believe it or not, I'm old enough to remember, before the war broke out in Ukraine, I'm old enough to remember when even our liberal establishment media would point out that Ukraine is a very corrupt country, when the establishment media would point out that Ukraine has elements within its militias and military
