People forget that.

So pornea.

So let's call it Ishtar.

What else happened in 73?

The Endangered Species Act.

The same year we declared open season on pre-born babies, we gave more legal protections to sea turtles and porpoises, which by the way, reminds me of a Chesterton prophecy.

And I mean, culturally prophetic, not like I don't believe in prophets today, but Chesterton said, wherever there is animal worship, there will be human sacrifice.

Chesterton also wrote nine months before the founding of Planned Parenthood.

He said, we are not so very far off from even the sacrifice of babies, if not to a crocodile, at least to a creed.

So in 73, you get Moloch, Roe v. Wade, you get Baal, animal worship,

and you get ashtoreth, weird sex porneia stuff.

That should be a little bit of an Old Testament alarm bell for the church in America that maybe we came into something of a demonic trinity and agreement in 73 that codified total sexual freedom because you don't have total sexual freedom unless you can murder the products of your total sexual freedom.

Babies.

So that's why I think America began its 90 to 100 year clock in 73, which means we could be approaching the third and final chapter of Western civilization in this republic as we understand it today.

That should be a sobering wake up call.

That's why our festival, my book and our film that's all dedicated to Charlie is called The Last Stand.

Well, so, Ali, two years ago, the GOP basically gutted their platform as it came to the life issue and to, like, marriage and sexuality.

People forget this.

Now, Ali, you know this, but, like, people forget this, how significant that was, that for decades the Republican Party platform—

Were they actually fighting for some of the things in the platform?
