They want to be the ultimate master.

They want to be the ultimate creator.

They want to be the controller of all that they survey.

Mm-hmm.

So when you look at, for example, people who have faith in God, well, if you have faith in God, that means you are not going to be open to having faith in them or their power or the government.

And so therefore, they view this as a competition.

That they have to compete for our faith and our allegiance and our loyalty.

And that if we believe in an authority and higher power that is more powerful than the government, then that takes away what they view as their oxygen.

I can't give you a number, but when you look at people who are telling us that what we know to be objectively true in the biological difference between a man and a woman and a boy and a girl, and they tell us you're wrong, just believe what we are telling you, that a biological male can become pregnant.

whether they realize, you know, there are definitely politicians out there who are just parroting the talking points.

because they're lazy and they're just trying to go along to get along and they're just trying to keep their job and they care more about keeping the job than actually speaking the truth.

And it's what we talked about.

They see what happens to people like me and what the Democratic Party did to me, even as I was in Congress and I was running for president on the Democratic ticket.

They have done for years all that they could to destroy me.

And I had even when I was in Congress there towards the end, I was going to work with a Democrat colleague on a piece of legislation or an issue that we had agreed on for years and we had worked together on previously.

And that member's staff told my staff, no, we're not going to work with you guys on this because we don't want our boss to be infected with your boss's toxicity.

Are you serious?

I'm dead serious.
