Episode 028: Rest In Pieces REASON - No Reason
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jeremiah Gunn opens the show with a call for unity, reason, and common sense in what he describes as an increasingly polarized and “irony age” political and cultural climate. He reflects on American history, the concept of the “Sacred Union,” and the importance of logic, debate, and civil discourse. Gunn critiques modern political rhetoric, arguing that labeling and name-calling have replaced meaningful debate, and emphasizes the need to return to foundational reasoning and open discussion.
Throughout the episode, he discusses logical fallacies, confirmation bias, and the decline of debate culture, drawing on examples from historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and philosophical ideas about truth and language. Gunn also comments on contemporary political divisions, media narratives, and cultural trends, encouraging listeners to question assumptions, think critically, and prioritize clarity and logic in public discourse.
The episode concludes with a broader appeal for renewed commitment to reason, respectful debate, and thoughtful engagement as a path toward strengthening the country and addressing modern challenges.
Good afternoon. Good morning. Good evening, wherever you are on Planet Earth. This is Jeremy Gun Show. Thank you. Thank you for I sincerely, humbly thank you for listening. This is about this is a show about you. It's a show about me. But but really it's a show about no, it's not about me. It's about us. And whenever I say the word us, it's short for United States. The United States. I was reading a quote by George Washington. Remember George Washington? I was reading a quote by him about the Continental Congress. He referred to the Union, the Sacred Union, which is what they would call it in the Civil War. That's still going on, by the way. Anyway, this Jeremiah Gunn Show. This is Jeremiah Gunn. Thank you for joining us. So appreciate you. I appreciate you. That is. That's the reality of it. I appreciate you. I care about you. I'm your uh undocumented expert. I'm gonna try to make some sense about what's going on right now. Rest in peace is reason. No reason, no nothing. No reason. People don't have a reason. They don't have reason. And it's widespread and it's rampant and it's spreading. That's the mind virus that is choking off our country. So let's get it together. Come let us reason together. This show is dedicated to Charlie Kirk, the martyr prophet, saint. This is about prophets, not people. P-R-O-P-H-E-T-S. God bless Charlie Kirk and everything he did and tried to do and stood for. Thank you to him. Another Thomas Paine. Common Sense. This is Common Sense Network, ISI, the part of the ISI network. Common sense. It's about common sense. It's about reason. Come let us reason together. Just a brief introduction here. Let's start off with Osfats Oni America, Kaisruns near Clarida, Boja Sakra ni America, Choda America, Ra Barakat Techad. Bararak Alahu America America said that again. Bararak Alahu America. Mao Zeadongwai. And got Zegna America. Got Schutze America. Thank you. Thank you for tuning in. Let's we got a world to save. We've got a world to save. The great Larry Elder always said we got a country to save, but we got a whole world to save. Let's talk about reason today as we reason and logic as we talk about this together. But I want to make another mention of a fight promote. Because this is the irony age and not the age of reason. Um and debate is dead, and uh they don't they don't believe in reasoned debate, they being the left. This is not about right and and left, it's about right and wrong. But the left is wrong. I'd rather be I'd rather be in the religious right as a dirty name to a lot of people on the left. Understandable. They hate, they're haters. But I'd rather be on the religious right than the pagan wrong. That's okay. Do you know do you know that this is referred to by the thinkers of uh the as the uh post-Christian era? As the neopagan era? So when they call you they call somebody a neocon or whatever, and and that may that term might have some validity, but when they call you something like that, i this is the neopagan era that we're in. You okay with that? When they talk about Christian nationalism and even people that call themselves Christians mock the idea of Christian nationalism and all that, like as if it just has this handle. We're going to talk about one of the things a logical construct is the this thing I call WTF. Whenever you hear something, you think about WTF, window, table, and a floor. Just think that it's illustrated in a PowerPoint image of the problem. A window, a table, and a floor in a room. And uh people say, oh, well, the problem is these Christian nationalists. And the other that that's the that's the window. And they think they're right. And the people uh talking about the table will say, oh, well, no, it's, you know, the some of the founders were kind of religious. Yeah. Bill Mars said the Charlie Kirk taught him they were more Christy than he ever thought. Yeah. He wrote books and made movies about how stupid they were. That's conventional wisdom. But uh the reality is the floor. The reality is the floor. That you it's not appropriate to give names to things. That's all that that's all that passes for thinking and reason today is giving a name to it. Snap the word phobia on the end, and you're done. Call the person a name. Racist. What does Prager say? Uh six herb or something. Sexist, Islamophobic, xenophobic, um, homophobic and uh uh what what are the other, whatever they are. Sexist, Islamophobic, xenophobic, uh racist and intolerant, or intolerant and racist, six herb, bigoted, you know, that whatever. That's all you gotta do. Oh, oh, oh, I see. So you're a racist. Okay. Okay. Okay, well we're done. We're done because I just called you a name and that ends it. I don't have to debate. So, you know, in a battle of uh you you you can have a battle of wits with an unarmed man. So Lincoln said something about uh peep some people think that uh might makes right, and other people think that right makes might. So because of all of that, I want to have a fight. I want to have a UFC type fight with these guys. You know, the Colbert's, the Kimmy Kimmels, the uh uh Liebowitz's Leibowitz, Jonathan Leibowitz Stewart, uh the Fry, Tim tampon Tim, all of these guys. Newscom. Adam Schitf, Adam Schiff, uh a damned Schitf. I want to have a fight with those guys because you you gotta knock that smirk off their face. Throw more throw Morning Breath Joe in there, too. You can't do Biden because, like someone said, he's the first guy that you could push assassinate. So yeah, that that wouldn't be fair. But I'll tell I'll we'll take Hunter. I'll take Hunter on since he's immune from everything. Anyway, I want to make an opening disclaimer. So please set up that fight. We'll do it for charity. Um I need a little bit of training, I'll need a few months, 90 days or so to get ready for it. But it's got to happen because they they they won't shut up with their horror that's just driving us over the cliff. Another disclaimer I'd like to make is I'd like to thank all you women out there that don't buy their lies, that don't drink the Kool-Aid, that don't play eve in this situation. And so that that's nothing that's nothing to sneeze at. That's important. That's important. And you might think that, oh, this guy's there you go, you're a misogynist. You're you're a big you're against women, yeah. Yeah, as if. And and and are working to just destroy the country. That takes a lot of courage. That takes a lot of and you know people used to talk about you know, founding fathers and the Civil War that's still going on. They talk about, you know, manliness. Manliness. You're gonna hear some quotes about that. But that that was they they thought it was uh womanly jealousies, feminine jealousies, that uh pettiness and things like that that that that we found out in the corporate world that even women don't like when they see that in their supervisor that's been installed over. So anyway, thank you, women that are reasonable, then aren't awful. Awful is affluent female, urbane leftists, uh uh affluent white female urbane leftists. And we say urbane because it's usually big cities, but you know, colleges become big cities in some of these states that are uh that are that are uh in God's country and flyover country. So, you know, you'll see some fool protesting for ice uh against ice or something like that. And uh California has a governor who says one of his this is his campaign promise. If you don't think this is a civil war, to to demolish ice. I want to demolish ice. Saw an ad for it on TV. I want to demolish that's a that's not a that's not an admission of guilt in a in a court for treason. That that's uh a campaign slogan. So that's that's suicidal sympathy, not empathy. Sorry, Gad said, but that that's you you women who don't suffer from that and can look at it, like Ridd Kipling wrote in If, if you can keep your head when all those about you are losing theirs, that that's commendable. So thank you. The country thanks you. You know, there's founding mothers too, not just founding fathers. And some of the quote-unquote men on the on the left are are really mothers. They're really women. So let let's let's you know draw the lines in the right places. Anyway, since debate is dead, um let's let's talk about reason. Uh Ben Franklin said that force shit on the back of reason. They they used to use that word shite. You know, Germany almost almost had, I mean, Pennsylvania almost had German as its national language. Came real close. Came real close to it. They had German newspapers. A lot of a lot of Germans settled there. Yeah, like you know, like you you maybe you think of Amish when you when you go that those people came from Mennonites, they came from Germany. But uh a lot of a lot of folks in the revolution they they settled there. So anyway, he used the word shite. So force shit on the back of reason. You know, it's not interest. It's really force is not really interested. Um Mao said that uh uh d democracy uh uh you know begins with the bullet, with the barrel of the of a gun. That's what uh that's what government is. It begins in and then the the Dalai Lama said, oh, that's not true. The people will rise up in a short time. Well, Tibet hasn't gotten anywhere in a not a short time. They took over 75 years, 75 years ago, eighty years ago, the communists. Anyway. So Victor Davis Hansen was talking about the what I call this the irony age. And kind of the way my my mind works is I think of something and I kind of coin it or put it into put it into thought, you know, a thought problem, and then I and then I find out that somebody already did. So I call this the irony age instead of the iron age, because uh there's so many incredible double standards and inconsistencies that you'll see in cult behavior. You'll see a weird double standard. It's always a dead giveaway for the irony age. Like, like, yeah, we we can develop the whole thing, but just take take one word uh uh sustainable. Yeah? How many times do we have to hear that tiresome word, sustainable? Nothing. Nothing that they do is sustainable. Nothing. The economy, environment, uh schools, taxes, military, n nothing. Nothing that they that the left, that the government, education, media attainment complex that took over this country, took over our education. Nothing they do is sustainable. And yet they use that word. Oh, it's for sustainability. Um So Victor Davis Hansen was talking about the origin of the word ironia, I think he said it was, and then I think he said it was Sophocles. And it means that you get the exact opposite result of what of what it is. Margaret Thatcher said, you know, they can't, they, the left, they can't tell you where their ideas are gonna take you. But we the people can. All we have to do is don't panic. Calm down and listen. Listen to reason. So I want to talk a little bit about, you know, being being logical, pure logic. You know, logic is clear and pure. Uh but it's also dead among too many people that are making the decisions. Somebody said people don't have an open mind. They have an idea, they have an opinion, and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but not not their own facts, not their own wisdom. Um wisdom begins with humility, with hubris not hubris. Yeah. Um so people don't have an open mind, they have an idea and then they look for things to support it. I think they're calling that nowadays confirmation bias, the Dunning Kruger effect, that people think they know more than they do. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Un poco conoscimiento. Un poco conoscimiento is peligroso. Somebody said there's nothing s there's nothing as terrible as ignorance in action. And remember the word ignorance is is not stupid because some of these people are PhDs. Woodrow Wilson was a PhD. He was the first and only, thank God, PhD president we had. Some of the ones since him relied on them. FDR called them the Brains Trust. Oh, yeah. Thanks. Thanks. We had enough brains. We had enough brains in in rural Virginia and Massachusetts that kind of dwarfed Athens. Okay, and our founding fathers? We don't need you. We don't need you. What's anybody to talk about on another show? We don't need you to come along and go, yeah, but I think it should have said this. You know people do that with the Bible, they do it with the the Constitution. Yeah, but I think, you know, it's a new time, it's a new era. That's not wisdom, that's not reason. I I read this great, great little tiny primer on it was called, I think it was called Being Logical. I found it at a computer trade show. And uh it just walked through how to do it, you know, clarity. Uh we'll we'll go over it one time, sort of a book report form. Just brilliant, just brilliant. Um but but logic is like mathematical. And so anyway, I I I tried to start a debate team uh at the high school because I saw such a such a lack for it after after watching the academic league in action. That that's impressive. Made my hair hurt. The questions these folks could answer from Mozart to uh to to the highest level of math. Wow. Uh but anyway, as uh I I thought, well, you know what, you know what we really need is a debate team. I I love to watch debates, listen to debates, uh listen to the Lincoln Douglas debates, all the whole thing. Several CDs. It was, you know, in those days it was on CDs. And uh it was basically just two actors, one playing Lincoln, one playing Stephen Douglas, the little giant killer, the Democrat who was arguing for slavery, via states' rights, and and just incredible. And the average they they would go on for a couple of hours. And uh you know, the average the average grade level of the people in the crowd, and I know they didn't have radio, TV, or cable or cell phones or anything to to distract them, but this was their entertainment. But I mean, these guys argued at a very erudite level about the highest principles. Remember, great minds talk about ideas, average minds talk about events, and small minds talk about people. And and these g these farmers and yokels, they'd listened to this stuff for a long time and and held their attention. And you compare that to d what you call debates today. So I thought I so first thing to do before you're gonna is contact the debate league, the debate competition. You know, it's a league. I was a high school basketball coach, so I knew that there was probably some league that controlled them and set up all the events. So I got in up got in touch with them, found out what you need to do, went and watched a couple. And it was it was terrible. It it's not debate, it's it's just uh citing statistics of your own choosing, uh arguing, uh beginning immediately with like this antagonism against the other person, and just trying to just drop just drop words, uh, you know, the the six herb words, you know, xenophobic, Islamophobic, blah, blah, blah, blah. And and it it didn't work. Yeah, I decided that, yeah, after seeing a few of these, that's not debate. It's not a debate team. It's like calling it a volleyball team when they're playing, you know, field hockey. You can't you know, Lincoln was so brilliant. Just a couple of an analogies he he went he he came up with and expressed. Um two that come to mind right off the top of the is uh one of 'em is he he he he said, how many he just he said, how many how many legs would a dog have if you called the tail a leg? And people said, Well, five. And he said, No. It it doesn't become a leg just 'cause you call it a leg. Does that sound familiar with all the noise that we're white noise, black noise, brown noise, yellow noise, red noise that we're hearing today? Does that sound familiar? It doesn't become a leg just because you called it a leg. Does it become you know, how might we apply that today? Like the meme says if genitals don't confirm uh or affirm whatever it is, your gender, how does removing them? I mean th this stuff is it's it's like there's this great C. S. Lewis uh you know, the line in the witch and wardrobe. And the g the the little girl Lucy thinks that she sees she thinks that she sees this uh magical land through the wardrobe with a lamppost and Mr. Tumnus and the Ice Queen and all that stuff. And uh and and the boy the you know, there's four kids living there, I guess, because the war is on. And they come to this professor who owns the home and he's putting them up for the duration. And they they're telling him that, oh, she's making up stories again, and he says, You ever known her to lie? You ever known her to make up stories? And and they're no. He puts his head in his hands and says, Why don't they teach these children logic? Well, why don't they? It it's it's pretty simple. I mean, how how much better could you have described it with than with his little dog analogy? Keep it simple. Simplicity is genius. So Yeah, the other one he told was uh it applies to pretty much you know, the Democrat Party. The left. But y you know, when you say Democrat oh man, he just guy just cares how he just hates Democrat no. Communists, socialists, independents that vote for Democrats and act like Democrats. I mean They're all in the same they're all in the same basket of deplorables, right? I mean, know your enemy. That's step one. So this one applies pretty pretty much to the left in every scenario. In every scenario. Just like right now. What what is what is Congress doing? They're holding holding captive the whole country because they want they don't want the they don't want election uh elections cleaned up. They don't want you to show ID. It's Jim Crow, it's racism. Those races are polling that they that they want voter ID shown. They you know, they're they're loyal to America. They're not traitors. I mean, how much more could they expose it? So they're holding uh holding up funding for TSA. I don't even know if we need them, frankly. That's another topic. But they're holding up the funding of that. And they and and they're gonna demolish ICE. And and and what is it for? It's not it's not that that they have an objection for the worse first, you know. Oh, nobody cares about that. No, that's what they they don't want anybody touched. That's why they keep and that's why they're continuing the Civil War with these sanctuary cities and people who don't don't even have to obey, not only don't have to obey, but are gonna fight against it. So so here's the here's how Lincoln described them. Because he had the same people fighting him. They're still the same ones today. It's just like in driving Miss Daisy when they blew up the synagogue. And she says, Who would do such a thing, Hoke? And he says, Miss Daisy is it you know who it is. It's always gonna be the same people. It's the left. It's the left. So you call them you can call them Democrats if it's 1850, or you can call them uh Democrats if it's uh 2026. It's the same people, same battle for America. So he so Lincoln told the story about uh a stage coach, and it's the guy holds it up, six-gun and or two, and he gets everybody out, and he says, Give me all your valuables, or I'll sh I'll sh I'll kill you, and then you'll be guilty of murder. Isn't that exactly what they do every time? See, that's logic. That's reason. You know, he when he talked about slavery, he said, What are you doing this on? Skin color? Yes. Yes, that's why, that's why they have the one drop rule. That's what Plessy versus Ferguson was all about. He was so white that he passed as a white, but then somebody said, Hey, he really isn't white. And so he had to get on a different trolley or train. And so that's what the Supreme Court came up with. And that that was their logic. That was a reason. So Lincoln described that and said, What is it? Is it shade? Is it the shade of the color? Because be careful. Somebody a little bit lighter than you could make you their slave. If that's all it is, is color. If that's all it is, is skin color. And yet, you know, they they they say if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. And uh and uh and Obama, Harris, blah blah her ass, they get in because of the color of their skin, not the content of their character. As MLK tried to tried to teach us. Same ones that hated MLK hate America and they're using people like uh like this to to get power. So he said, Give me all your money, or I'll shoot you, and then you'll be guilty of murder. This is how they frame every single argument. Oh, you want kids to die, oh you want you want uh you want you you don't care about the world. You don't want people to have free health care and all this stuff. It's gonna be your fault when it happens. And yet they're the ones who get people killed. It happens every single day. Because they're rebelling against just like the last time, they get they're rebelling against the Constitution. Not the federal government. Most of Washington, D.C. is left. And they and they want to that that's what we saw with all that doge and all that mess. So just a couple examples of the way people think they're thinking today. You know. Please. I think I think General Sherman said Vox Populi Vox Humbug. You know? That's it's democracy. Democracy, it's not democracy. So it's just a couple of examples. Um I was at the I was at the bay, uh or walking by the ocean or something. And a guy comes up with a clipboard. This was uh in the late 1900s. Don't you think it's time for a woman president? I just looked at my watch. What what time is it? What time what do you mean it's time for a woman president? I said, what does that mean? Because we flipped a page on a calendar or the whole calendar to a new year? What do you mean it's time for a what what kind of when you talk about time and space, you have to do it logically. So I went on to the next step. I said, Well, you mean who? Margaret Thatcher or Madonna? Uh do you think um Cher or Jane Kirkpatrick? What do you mean? A woman it's time? It's time for a woman president? So here we are in 2016. Even the left doesn't think it's time for a woman president. I mean You know, they dumped Bernie to put to put Hillary in, one communist for another. That that part doesn't matter. But you know, how many times did you know I think Joe Biden said that Hillary would be a better president than Obama would. That's not the only diss he ever did to Obama, but that's okay. If you don't vote for him, you ain't black. So I said, you know who? Margaret Thatcher or Madonna? Cher? Or I mean these were people in the news in those days. Jean Kirkpatrick, brilliant woman. Uh just just because they're a woman? And and and what has that thinking gutten us? We got a woman, I guess, they should have asked her on the SCOTUS, who says she doesn't know what a woman is because she's not a biologist. How could somebody get on SCOTUS with that kind of an answer? The irony age, that's exactly the answer she had to give to get on. And the geniuses in Congress and the Senate that were confirming her, they didn't say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Uh clueless Joe from Scranton and everywhere else on earth today. He he he said he wanted to put a brown woman. So let me ask you a couple questions. Are you brown? Are you a woman? I mean, if you don't know, should we bring in some biologists? Because his litmus test, it's another genius thing they've applied to the Supreme Court, was that it has to be a brown woman, so that uh America could be described in one word. When he introduced her with Kamila behind him. So now brown little girls, that's what he said, not me, can wake up and say, hey, I can be on SCOTUS. Uh maybe not, if one of the members of the nine, one over nine, says he doesn't know what a woman is. How is she gonna rule in such cases? Is she gonna recuse herself every time a case? Oh, you think did she think did the Congress, uh Senate, uh, did they think that maybe cases might come up before SCOTUS that have to do with women and men? Gosh, I don't know where would they get that idea? Where would the tea leaves indicate that in this current environment as she's sitting there at the table answering questions? She's married to a white guy, by the way. Does she know that he's white? Does she know she's he's a guy? All of these leftists are. who had the giant binder that was bigger than her and never answered a single question. Or just said he's sleeping. Well, we know that. Tell us something we don't know. So is it time for a woman present? You know, that that that passes for logic. Happened to be from South America, Central America, but that never doesn't really matter. He was white, Hispanic. We're going to get into that. Hispanic is has the word Spain. But that's a white European. Hello? We'll talk about that another time. But he's an engineer, so we're talking at lunch, and it was a there was this proposition, I think, this proposition about, you know, Save the Marriage Act. Uh and it was about it was about homosexuals in California, uh, something to do with the rights that they had, or, you know, one man, one woman for lifetime type thing, you know, save marriage. Anyway, it was something like that. And and he could tell that, you know, I was in support of this bill, and he was not. And that's all he cared about. He wanted to and he kind of culminated the whole thing. He said, Yeah, I'm pretty sure if it passes, I won't turn gay. And he turned on his heel and walked away. That I just thought, wow, guy got a degree in engineering, I guess. STEM of some kind. And that passes her logic. So the way Bills work is how you feel about them, that whether they're going to personally affect you, lets you determine that's logic. That's logic. Logic is like a science. It's, you know, there's a great documentary about this Irish mathematician named Boole who came up with the Boolean logic, Boolean algebra. And it's uh it's how they were able to create computers, ones and zeros, truth tables. Yes or no? One and zero, yes or no. You could build this whole thing, everything you see, that miracle you're holding in your hand. All of that started with that simple premise to be able to create a calculation machine that can make decisions. Culminating in AI, which can't make a decision because it's not PC. That's another topic. But I'm pretty sure that I won't turn gay if it passes. If it passes, I won't turn gay. Boom. Boom. That's it. That's the knockout punch. And I just thought, wow, the guy just quit. He quit the fight. He didn't knock me out. He quit the debate. There was no reason. That's not logic. It doesn't have to do with what you, dude, living right now, with whatever you happen to think. That's not the way laws are supposed to work. Yeah, I'll talk yeah, I'll talk to someone else about DEI. Even a loved one, you know, talk about DEI and and uh what it's the the terrible, devastating effect it's had on men. The war on men at irony age, they call the war on women. And you know, talking to them about you know, about uh just just something simple, like to say, oh, the men and women who died in Vietnam. The men and women, all the men and women who died in Vietnam. That's a little bit not only self-serving, self-promoting, but it's a little bit of a diss. So I looked it up before I talked to him about it. I had looked it up. And I think it was fifty-six thousand men died in Vietnam when they knew what men and women were. And I think six or eight women, and they were like nurses and working in hospitals uh near the front. And uh I guess rockets came in and killed them. So fifty-six thousand and eight, you had those two thout together, fifty-six thousand and eight. And uh and then you divide eight into that fifty-six thousand and eight, and you come up with a it's it's about it's about as much native Siberian fokahanis is. That's how many decimals point uh you know, from zeros are following it. So uh am I saying that, you know, and and so and so the guy says, you know, listen, Buster, you forget I have three daughters. Uh if that was your daughter, you'd want her to be honored. I didn't say I didn't want them to be honored. I just think of this patronizing platitude black pander party nonsense of of saying the men and women who died, I mean, yeah, th that great Lee Greenwood song, and I won't forget the men and women who died. Really? You think those nurses don't that I think there's a statue of women who fought in Vietnam in Washington, D.C., that you and I paid for with our taxes? There's a plenty of You don't have to keep dissing it. Well, they they wouldn't they wouldn't let women fight. That's why the numbers so you really think twenty-five thousand women would have gladly been drafted to go fight for our country? Do you think that would be even a good idea? Even today, in you know in hospitals, if you're thinking logically, you know, th as mo most women go into nursing. Now they're doing nurse practitioner things. That isn't because the all male MDs or, you know, American Medical Association is stiff arming them, they don't want women. Sometimes women don't go into things like that. But that's not the point. The point is that the logical retort to this concern was, you know, I have three daughters. Uh if that was your daughter, you'd you'd want. It's sort of like Congressman is talking about you know, talking about when the first time that homosexual issues came up. And and just a little side note, if it bothers you that I don't abide by compelled speech, I never have. I I was ahead of Jordan Peterson. I don't believe that people can come endure George Orwell talks a lot about language, and so did Murray, the guy created the Oxford English Dictionary. Great movie called uh The Madman and the Professor. Pretty accurate, but it's got Sean Penn in it, so you've got to overlook that. But him and Mel Gibson, so you gotta overlook that. But it's a very interesting movie because it's about about that. But words have a meaning, and when you corrupt them and manipulate them, like Orwell described fabulously, magnificently, when you do that, you you you you you're trying to uh obscure the truth. You're not trying to get at it. Come let us reason together. Let's have clarity. That's all. Let's just have clarity. See, you know, I I have three daughters, uh I have some of my friends are Democrats. Even they're they're Christians. They're nice. Oh, so by by the way, by the way, sorry. I got off a little bit on the on the uh you know, George, what did Jordan Peterson say? I'm not going to abide by compelled speech. Totalitarians tell you what to think, but the authoritarians start by telling you what to say. So that that's what Canada turned into a tyranny, a totalitarian tyranny. And he he said, look, if you if you fine me, I won't pay it, and if you throw me in jail, I'll I'll I'll go on a starvation, a hunger strike. So you know, I'm not gonna do it. Sorry. My thoughts are my own you can't take that from me. That's the one thing they can't take from you. So I would so I don't use the word I don't use the word gay because it had a meaning. You know, my my grandmother was born in the 1800s, the end of it, and she'd walk around with my mom in the 70s and say, I'm gay, I've always been gay. And my mom had to say, Shh, X nay. My mom worked in a beauty shop. She told us a lot of stories about homosexuals that she worked very closely with, and and and uh all of a sudden it it started out as alternative lifestyle, and now it's gay. You better use that word, or otherwise you're homophobic. We're gonna snap a word on the end of that word that we created and say you're Islamophobic, homophobic, xenophobic. We just take Greek words and throw them together, which is practicing medicine without a license, because phobia falls under psychology. But psychology's lost its mind completely. So this guy that says, you know, I have three daughters, and if it were your daughter, he uh he he should understand that the uh AP American Psychological Association or whatever has just recently said that it's it's um toxic. It's sick in the head to want to provide, to want to be a provider. So presidents not that long ago worked on deadbeat dad and things like that. And people are trying to collect that and they're correct that, and they're going, hey, new science, new rule, to want to provide for somebody is kind of sick. So it's patriarchy. Whatever. So can you trust psychology? Nope, it's not logical. It's not logical. So I have friends that are Democrats. You you you you're you're saying things negative about Democrats and Christians, they're nice. Friends are nice. But the guy that Christianity's named after said friendship with the world to be uh a friend of the world is uh to be an enemy of Christ. You know that thing about the the enemy of my enemy is my friend? And speaking of John Kerry, the the friend of my enemy is my enemy. Doesn't it work that way? You you wind up with Joy Behar, Joy Blowhard preaching social justice and Jesus and Christianity. I think she's Jewish, but she's really agnostic in terms of you judge her by her life, by her fruits. We're supposed to judge. And uh she's talking to this guy uh from Jonathan Roomy or whatever, who's from the the, what is it called, the chosen, and he's wearing a shirt that's about the Eucharist. And and then the uh yeah, what what is she doing? It's almost like you want to slap him like Will Smith and say, get that word of the Lord and Savior out your mouth. Because she's just trying to talk about Democrats and social justice of the left, the communist, Marxist social justice, which Irony Age is godless. So what are you doing? That's a whole nother show. But this kind of thing, well, I have friends that are Democrats and they're nice. Uh nobody said they weren't nice. Who said that? W why don't we use logic and reason instead of compelled speech and hate? Adam Carolla was talking about that this falls under, I think, arguing from the particular to the general or the general for the these are logical fallacies. They're logical fallacies. And he says, you know, you could say it's best for a kid to have two parents. You know, a male and a female. A man and a woman. A male and female, that's just too nebulous. Man and woman. Although Jesus of Nazareth said, male and female created he them. Not they them. So don't don't don't get mad at me. That's not logical. Look at this stuff. Look at it with a fresh look and clear eyes and an open mind and a functioning logical brain. Your brain's a computer, it's a CPU. It can be programmed to work properly and not just barf all the time. So Adam Carolla is talking about, he says, if you say you say, you know, I think it's best for a child to be raised, and stu science is proving that. Studies are showing this thing. Studies that are done properly, they always show it. They're not looking for something. They always show it. He says, hey. And someone will say, well, I know this, my friends, neighbors, uh gardeners, cousins, uncle has there's this same-sex couple in in Las Vegas, and they they're doing a great job raising the kids. That doesn't that's non-sequitur. Doesn't follow. It doesn't have anything to do with what we just said. Does it negate what we just said? Or he said that, you know, you should eat right and exercise. Well, I have a friend who has o they only eat funnel cakes and and bourbon, and they look great in a bathing suit. It doesn't matter. That doesn't it it's non sequitur. It doesn't have anything to do with it, let alone. So, you know, logic is reason, math. Computers, AI, they're they're rote. They're physically, I had to take study computer science. I had to take uh machine language, and it's just assembly language. You know, it's just ones and zeros being added up. So uh Yeah, you take like the Supreme Court. Here's their logic. We saw that one example, but uh we have to talk about it on another another thing. But basically they got the Ten Commandments etched into their wall. And they'd made a ruling just the other day. The judicial system in Alabama, the state had mandated that the Ten Commandments be posted on the wall. And uh they said, no. Uh this one judge says no, no, you can't do that. And so what did SCOTUS originally decide in this era of precedent versus precedence? They said, you no, you can't post this is how they interpret the First Amendment, which says you can't infringe religious rights. They they said if you post the Ten Commandments in a school, then children may look at it. And if they look at it, they may obey it and follow it. And if that then that constitutes coercion. Anyway. I gotta go. We'll talk to you next time. Thank you so much. Thank you for listening. Love you.
