Episode 045: Loneliness TED - Part F-Hive

In Part 5 of the Loneliness TED series, Jeremiah Gunn explores how loneliness is shaped not only by personal struggles, but by larger cultural and societal shifts. Moving between social commentary, historical reflection, and personal experience, he examines the breakdown of institutions once designed to foster connection—family, marriage, workplaces, faith communities, and civic trust.

This episode reflects on the “loss of permanence” in modern life: fractured homes, shifting social norms, unstable careers, and the growing sense that many people are navigating life alone—even while surrounded by others. Jeremiah Gunn discusses how changing attitudes toward family, identity, and obligation may be contributing to deeper emotional and social isolation.

Along the way, he revisits historical examples, corrects previous factual points, and shares personal workplace experiences that shaped his understanding of fairness, belonging, and cultural change.

At its core, this episode asks difficult but important questions: What happens when the structures that once grounded us begin to erode? How does loneliness grow when communities lose their shared values and sense of responsibility to one another?

A thought-provoking continuation of the series, Part 5 challenges listeners to consider how cultural fragmentation may be fueling the loneliness epidemic—and what it might take to rebuild meaningful connection.

Topics include:

•  The relationship between loneliness and social instability 
•  Family breakdown and the emotional cost of fractured homes 
•  The changing meaning of work, identity, and purpose 
•  Historical reflections on permanence, obligation, and belonging 
•  How cultural conflict can deepen feelings of isolation 
•  The importance of truth-telling, accountability, and community restoration 

Listen in and reflect:
In a world that often feels increasingly disconnected, how do we reclaim genuine belonging?

You've got to walk that lonesome valley. Hey, this Jeremiah Gun Show. Hello. Hello. Welcome everybody wherever you are, whatever time it is, wherever you are. This is Deremy Gun Show. It's a gun show. Thank you. This is CSN Common Sense Network, part of the ISI broadcasting system. We are broadcasting behind enemy lines. This program's, as all, are dedicated to Charlie Kirk, our hero, prophet, martyr, brother. Big brother, the right kind of big brother, to all of the bullied, bullied, bullied millions who just trying to figure out what life's all about. This is loneliness, Ted. Part F Hive. F the Hive. The Hive mentality. The Hive Mind that uh makes you into a drone to just do your job. And uh we had a I used to joke that our motto for our department at work was you'll get nothing and like it. It was a joke, but uh that's kind of what the program that we're on right now. Um The Queen Bees are arranging No Kings rallies and driving us into oblivion. So this is the Jeremiah Gunn Show. Welcome aboard. Thank you, thank you for listening. So important that we get together. Come let us reason together. That's the whole point. I want to promote a fight. I saw a little clip of Tampon Tim last night that made my blood boil, as it should, because he's a traitor. I want to add him to the list. I want to have a fight, I want to have a UFC fight. Somebody please set it up. It'll be for charity, it'll be for a real charity, not a fake charity, not a Hollywood scam, but a real charity. I want to fight Tampon Tim, Swalwell, Adam, a damned shit, uh Newscomb. Steiner, who wants to he's a billionaire who wants to uh play demagogue and take away your country. Take away your this will be the first time in history where the country was destroyed by the rich by leading the um grassroots, or at least the un the huddled masses who are yearning to not breathe free. Anyway, all the proceeds will go to charity, so let's get that set up. We need to do this because they can't debate. Tampon Tim went to Spain in the middle of a war. It's not a war. It's not a war in Iran. Well then why are you clamoring about Congress being able to approve it or not? You want AOC and Ilhan Omar involved. And Tariq Aziz, you want them involved? You want Adam Schiff involved in this war? But it's not a war, but it is a war. And so during the war, this traitor, this Democrat Confederate, but I repeat myself, this enemy domestic goes over to Spain. What is the governor of Minnesota going to Spain? And he jokes about how they don't know who he is. I wish we didn't know who he is. I wish he would stay there. And he's just ranting about that clown in the White House. Remember I told you there's a little perfect reverse barometer? Biden called Trump a clown. Now Tampon Timmy's calling Trump a clown. On the world stage, in Spain. You know, Spain, check your notes. Spain is where the people from England are leaving because they don't have freedom anymore. They don't have freedom of speech or anything. The ideas that we got from the Magna Carta. Anyway, too much on this. Let's get that fight set up. Those people need to have their you know, even the good book in the Old Testament, it says, Lord, break their teeth in their mouth. Make them be ashamed of hating you. And they hate this country. And they hate him, the creator that Jefferson referenced. So let's go. Let's get it, let's get it on. It is a war. It's a civil war. I'm broadcasting from behind enemy lines. That that that's not, you know, anything hyperbole or anything. This is a civil war. It never ended. We're at war between the states. Period. Enemies domestic? The ones we swore an oath to protect the Constitution from. So anyway, let's let's talk real quickly about corrections. I'm the fact checker, I'm the truth, I'm giving you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And I'm never going to be that far off, but it bugs me when I go back and read the transcripts or I listen or I know something mentally. I can't go back and erase it. But I don't want any truth tellers out there to say, because they're no good at truth telling, but I don't want them to say, oh, he was wrong about this and he was wrong about that. So let me just give me a couple real run through a couple of real quick examples. I was talking about the debates of 1960, and I said, I said Nixon when I should have said JFK or vice versa. I mean, it's obvious. I was talking about the one that looked old and the one that looked young and dynamic. And, you know, I I just use the wrong names. I I don't know why your brain does that, but it does. I was talking about Henry David Thoreau. He said uh he said, what is the use of a house if you have not got a tolerable planet to put it on? What is the use of a house if you have not got a tolerable planet? I said it backwards. I said, What is the use of a planet if you've not got a tolerable house? Uh you know, it's not like that's irre that's reversible. But uh, you know, it's funny. When even even in the late 1900s, I was a young, young man in high school. I was taking a summer class on English and writing and so forth, English uh and literature anyway. Uh we had to read Thoreau and we had to write an essay on how much of an impact he's had on our age. It was an age of um back to nature for sure, and it was an age of even more than today, and it was an age of granola and and all these kinds of things. There were people leading this charge, and cereal was a big thing, you know, granola was, you know, back to nature, back to nature anyway. So we had to write an essay on whether Henry David Thoreau had an impact on that with his essays like on Walden Pond and so forth. And I I got I got sort of like commended for having the best essay, but I spelled his name Thoreau, T-H-O-R-O-U-G-H, like Thoreau. And the teacher made kind of fun of it, you know, like he did a thorough job, but sure messed up his name. It's a French name, obviously, Thoreau. So anyway, that that's the kind of thing. I mean, your brain does that all the time. Um and so that's what happened. So uh that's what happened with this uh planet thing. So, you know, if if a fact checker says, oh, he was completely wrong, 100% wrong about that, I don't know if they're gonna do that or not. They're they're too busy lying flat out. So, but uh but I'm telling you, as a fact checker, I need to uh I need to let you know that I know this stuff is wrong. And I'm not I'm not off on the point. I'm just off on the names that apply to it. I was talking about the White House the other day, and I said, why it's white. I said in the War of 1812, Canadian troops actually burned it. And I I looked it up, and it turns out nope, not not so. Not so. Um It was actually called the White House by Teddy Roosevelt in like 1903 or something like that. And uh it was burned and it was painted white because it was a limestone that it just made it pop a little more way back then. And they started changing it from executive mansion to White House. And it wasn't Canadians that burned it, it was troops that came. Maybe they came from New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, but they were British troops. So you look that up and you find out that you're wrong. But it's not, it said it's a very common, common myth that that that that's what happened. But um, you know, England tried to tried to defeat us. It was called the Second Revolution in the War of 1812. And this is kind of interesting. They they paid a real price. They paid a real price for trying to do that. Because uh the famous famous battle was the Battle of New Orleans, led by Andrew Jackson in a multicultural, multicultural coalition. There were uh Hispanics and there were um slaves, uh former slaves, and there were Indians and there were pirates. I think the guy's name was uh Le Foot or something. So I mean he had this kind of Pirates of the Caribbean coalition, and they defeated a British force in New Orleans. But here's the kicker. It was two to three weeks after the war was over. The Treaty of Ghent, I think, ended the War of 1812. We we won. It was called the Second Revolution because it was a test of this adolescent country, this nascent country, and see whether we could make it or not. But they paid a big price. They lost a lot of people. Three weeks after the peace, there were no cell phones, there was no telegraph. It took it took a month almost for messages to get across. Hey, we signed a treaty. Oh, great. All of our guys are dead. Andrew Jackson did a there's great books on it. It was a heroic effort. Anyway, let's start off with you know part five here, F-5, of loneliness. Ted. Um yeah, we we kind of left off on what's what's destroying our country. Marxism, a thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. And we said that you know you know, loneliness is the destruction of everything. Everything holy and good. Everything the left touches, it destroys. The left is now synonymous with the Democrat Party. It's not that simple. Yes, it is that simple. Don't look, don't ask me. Look at the just look at the facts, just the facts. And they what have they done? They've destroyed everything. A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Marxism wants to look it up, read a little bit about Marxism, which was the founding charter of the BLM, for example. And this intersectionality where they say, hey, it's all of us against you. And and Marxists don't care if they divide you by class, race, height, gender, imaginary gender, it doesn't matter. They come in and they destroy everything, everything holy and good. The national, the the country, the family, it's the government, education, media attainment complex. They destroy family, the building block of society, schools, marriages, workplace, careers, from K to PhD, churches. And feminism in the name of equality that they translate into now it's now it's equity. It's not even equality, equity, which is, you know, they're kind of showing their hand, they're telling you. They want they want like equity in your house. They want they want your your money. Whether they have to steal it, print it. Doesn't matter, as long as they have power. Does any adult think now that they are not trying to get us when they're trying to fly people in from other countries and steal your citizenship, steal your vote? And uh just just the other day, uh just the other day in California, uh, you know, Newscomb is leading this charge to get rid of these uh video, these great heroes. Like uh Nick, Nick Shirley. He's going around exposing all the corruption. They're they're trying to pass a law that you're you're not thou shalt not turn on the light and see where the cockroaches are. The Democrats are doing that. Really? That used to be journalism, investigative journalism, whistleblowers. Time magazine did a essay, uh a magazine that was specifically celebrating whistleblowers at Enron. The women who came forward and said, Hey, this is a this is a house of cards, smoke and mirror, it's a shell game, it's a Ponzi scheme. And they were called uh Person of the Year, the whistleblower. But but here's a whistleblower here, like James O'Keefe, who started out exposing Acorn and everything else. And they're going after them. You're gonna shoot the messenger. That's their solution. Shoot Charlie Kirk. Shoot these guys. That's okay, no problem. That's what they want. But don't don't don't pretend that it isn't the absolute truth of what's going on. That they're not out to get you. They are out to get you. They want to destroy everything. So we talked about, you know, in the workforce, you know, how you know that's how kind of how it began by, you know, women in the oh, you you are you saying women in the workforce? Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm just all I'm doing is saying what happened, okay? So I want to read a couple of quotes here. I talked about the woman last time who's, you know, I walk past her. I'm just a contractor walking through this client's office and she's sitting on the phone. Yeah, she's just a housewife. And I just thought, my God, I I have a homemaker at home. I think she was working at the time, but anyway, get the idea. And I thought, what are you? You're just a woman who answers the phone for some guy. In that case. So so here it is. Uh set that timer a little f better here. So so long, long time ago, when this kind of just first came up, you know, women and the word for feminism, first wave, second wave, third wave, whatever it is, it's a tsunami and it's destroying everything. It said somebody wrote, modern women defend their office with all the fierceness of domesticity. They fight for desk and typewriter, computer, laptop, as for hearth and home, and develop a sort of wolfish wifehood on behalf of the invisible head of the firm. That is why they do office work so well, and that is why they ought not to do it. This next one was written by a guy Richard Weaver, who uh wrote a brilliant book in like 1948, and it was called Ideas Have Consequences. And this is a write-up about him. It says, Weaver mourns society's loss of its sense of obligation and piety, and turns to examine certain forms of impiety currently operating as disintegrating forces. The first of these is the specious ideal of equality of the sexes, unquote. Start off asking for equality and move into equity, which means equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity. Big difference. Stick a note there and think about that as we go on. Even so profound a distinction as that between male and female is but one challenge. Even a so profound a distinction as that between male and female is but one challenge. No, Marxism has to blur blur the lines, confuse everybody to death and then take over, divide and conquer. Well, anyway, every effort has been made to obliterate the divergence in role, conduct, and dress of the sexes. But Weaver believes that women have lost the prestige they once had and have failed to gain real standing. He says, After the gentleman went, the lady had to go too. No longer protected, the woman now has her career, in which she makes a drab pilgrimage from two room apartment to job to divorce court. After the gentleman went, the lady had to go too. No longer protected, the woman now has her career, in which she makes a drab pilgrimage from two room apartment to job to divorce court. You know, I had we've we've got a couple of the neighbors here. We we don't live in a rich area, but it's it's probably middle class or upper middle class. But there there's a there's a there's a one, two, three, four, there's four houses. We're separated five or six houses in this sort of an elbow shape. And this this nice guy, you know, there's there's a couple. Well, they were used to be a couple. There's a guy who has he's he's an Ivy League, Ivy League uh, you know, engineer or scientist, and his and he lives over there on the right. Just kind of picture this, six houses around this corner. There's a woman who lives all alone. That's his former wife. So uh he he's got the two kids, high school age-ish, and and they sometimes walk back and forth. They make a trek, six houses. I'm not knocking them. I I'm, you know, my heart bleeds for them a bit, but it it's it's kind of ridiculous. They make this trek that th those people can't Ivy League engineers, high-income earners, and they can't live in the same house. They have to have two separate, duplicate, very expensive nowadays, because just real estate went nuts. Houses around the corner from each other. They can't they can't even stay in the same under the same roof, so their kids have to walk back and forth. I'll stay here. Oh, you got Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, I'll take Monday, Wednesday. Right. They can work all that out. Just can't be under the same roof. You know, this is this is this is great. It's really great where we've gotten. You know, in the 70s a book called Future Shock came out. And one of the things that he talked about was the loss of permanence. The loss of permanence, whether that's, you know, your dad got a gold watch if he stayed where he was for 20 years, and your company only keeps you for a few, and then the next one only keeps you for a few and and and and so there's this loss of permanence in modern culture. But doesn't that apply to the family unit and marriage? They say they say that children of divorce kind of scientists say they never, never recover. And yet all you'll read in this feminist stuff, put it on AI, look at and say uh loneliness or something. Oh, you know, why women aren't lonely? Oh, I was at low, I was lonely at first, and but then you mean you don't think that the children and the and the husband and the and the and the kids are I mean, it just they they they say it's better if your mom or dad dies than then gets divorced. You get over it a little quicker because you know they didn't want to leave. They had they had no choice. Anyway, I'm not gonna beat that to death, but it think about how silly that is, walking back and forth from from one place to another. You know, back in the day, in the old days, the worst thing you could say to a woman, the worst thing you could say to her was homewrecker, homewrecker. And we knew this old guy who was sort of a philosopher. He wrote a little pamphlet called Civilization and Company Homewreckers. Civilization, uh the here's there's an irony age thing for you. Civilization actually ruins the home, the building block of society. They destroy the family. So what women used to say to another woman who committed adultery with the husband, and yes, he was guilty too. Unless she drove him to it. No excuse, but it's a reality. But uh homewrecker. Okay. And then now it's just like whatever. Yeah, we talked last time about my daughter's kindergarten class. You can date that with the Gen Z, Gen X, Millennial, whatever you want. But it was all the women that that wrecked the home. The wives. They gotta go find themselves. Their therapist said they'd be better off alone. Then try to deal with this situation, try to be in this fam. And and yeah, they weren't all drunk gamblers beating 'em. Give me a break. I I I know that's a fact, okay. But so so what did you start seeing instead of homewrecker? They'd say, oh, you know, that guy's not fair game because he's happily married. Not not he's married. I can't go after him because he's married. He's happily married. So if he was unhappily married, it's fair game. You just play play games with things and expect that there's going to be a good outcome. Yeah, I was I was I took a class in college and I went back to college later. I finished it quite a bit later, so I was an adult when I was there. I wasn't some kid impressionable and at the whim of these professors who are holding the degree over me. So I could really kind of challenge them. I took this class called Moral Issues Today, and it was an upper division class, and I think nurses had to take it so they get credit for continuing education for ethics. And, you know, I had to, we we had to uh do an end-of-the-year term paper speech and paper and so forth, and you had to pick a controversial topic. I picked abortion, and here's a room full of nurses, you know. But we were talking one night just during the year, and I said, you know, I I hate to say this, but I've watched what's happened to our society in my lifetime on my watch, on our watch, in our time. I don't think it's been all that good. You know? They have commercials celebrating uh how women have you've come a long way, baby, and I am woman, hear me roar, and all this stuff. Yeah, I I don't know. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. And and I said, I I don't really think that this world we've created so far is all that great. Do you? And they they really didn't answer. You know, JD Vance got in trouble because he talked about childless cat ladies. Kind of like the good book says, without natural affection. Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres and and and and and well Renee Good had dogs. She was a, I guess she was a lady. She was a lesbian. Whatever. But activism is their religion. Their religion. I have a relative who's a an awful. She's about the age of a niece, you know, and she she said that she going to this pussy parade was the highlight of her life. Really? Marching for abortion. She just had a baby recently, but that was that was their religion. Activism. I gotta find this quote by Thomas Sowell. He talks about how activism allows useless people to feel feel like they're actually accomplishing something and when really all they're doing is destroying it by playing the role of a useful idiot. So but so anyway, it's kind of it's kind of interesting. I heard a I heard a comedian, I think he was Australian, he was talking about, he's a l let's just look at divorce. Do you know do you know what the highest rate of divorce is among lesbian couples? Far and away. I saw something flash through the news about some famous celebrity that's that's breaking up. I think it's the soccer player Mijo or Mago or Mont Rappahoe or whatever. As if, you know, we needed to know that. All the news you need to know. So anyway, uh the highest is uh is among lesbians, and then it's among um uh heterosexual couples, straight couples, and then the lowest number is among men, uh two males that are married, like Dave Rubin, so forth. And and uh so he said, you know, kind of what what's kind of the common denominator? Well, in the case of lesbians, there's a woman in in the relationship, there's two. In the case of uh heterosexual couples, straight couples, there's two. There's a woman, there's a woman. And the the lowest rate of divorce is the two men. So I mean, it could there possibly be a you know correlation and causation? No, they never relate. Anyway, he just made a joke out of it. But you know, sometimes jokes are revolutions, said George Orwell. Anyway, what they've created is this kind of equality that in the Latin it's called Primus enterparis, and I don't know if I'm saying that right. Primus enterparis, first among equals. So yeah, we're equal. Some are more equal than others. Google did a lawsuit. Uh the women of Google didn't do a calendar, they did a lawsuit. I'm not saying they should have. Anyway, they did a lawsuit and said we're not being paid as much as men. Well, they found out after they dug in that they're being paid more than men. So now do they have a lawsuit? You attorneys? Attorneys are like hit men. There's there's a bumper sticker that says uh it's the only profession where you hire somebody from that profession to protect you from somebody from that profession. We don't hire police to protect us from police. Maybe we do now, I don't know. But so so they found out that the men were being underpaid, and they were being underpaid by comparison relative to the women's pay, specifically because they were trying to DEI the women. So, you know, um they did it in education. They've controlled education. Women have taken over education from head start to PhD. Well, who did we have in the White House? Who's running the White House? It wasn't Joe Biden. It was probably O blah blah, but it was certainly probably Jill. Jill Biden.

SPEAKER_00 25:44

You did a good job, Joe. You answered all the questions. Here's your rice pudding.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

I mut a witch. She's got a PhD in education, you know, and and somebody thought that she ought to be in charge. You know, Hillary said, Oh Hillary said you're getting a two for one. Anyway, we'll talk about that later. But uh my experience is at work, I was underpaid by a lot for DEI. I mean that person uh I was so much farther qualified than that person, but I wasn't a woman and I wasn't from South America. And her and my and her boss was a woman, the one that hired me to replace her. It was it was ridiculous. And then I go to another corporation. Generally, generally government, government um government contractors, big corporations, so they have to think they they think they have to bow to the government on how to how to fix these things. Government can't fix anything, never has fixed anything, only broke it. The chief cause of problems is solutions. But uh yeah, I had a woman over me there that just, you know, Bobby Knight was a famous basketball coach. And he said, he told the press corps one night in a press conference, he said, I've forgotten more about this game than most of you are ever gonna know. And and nobody around the company could even believe that this woman was promoted to be our boss. But gotta do it, gotta do the equity thing. You gotta do the equity. Anyway, my my career was almost destroyed. And this happened to uh, you know, uh a woman consulted with her sister who was in HR in another company and figured out a plan to attack me and come up with fake charges and things. Not sexual harassment, but just, you know, asking her to turn her beeper off, her her her uh cell phone off during meetings. I asked the whole room, but she goes and says I'm singling her out. Anyway, it's crap. So I'm talking to the head of HR, and he tells me confidentially off the record, you're gonna be a sacrificial lamb. I couldn't believe it after everything I did for that company and everything, you know. And uh thank God it got resolved. But legal had to get involved and everything. Just because she made a charge, HR swooped in and wanted me to sign a forced confession. If you continue to do this, you'll be terminated, up to and including terminate. I said, I I I can't continue to do something I never did. And I wrote a rebuttal and et cetera, et cetera. But, you know, they were ready to go. They had the gallows all built. We we had a woman president at work at this big giant corporation, and she'd always get up there, you know. She was she was uh sat at the feet of these men back east in the smoke-filled mahogany robe boardrooms, and she'd say, she'd get up and give these talks, and it was always the same talk. She was supposed to be our spiritual leader, you know? Uh blocking and tackling, we'll do the blocking and tackling, we'll do the blocking and tackling so you can do your job. And I almost raised my hand once. Uh if I was a shorter, short time or more, I would have. I almost said, Who did you play football for? What college? Because what do you can't come in here and use these sports analogies? Are you saying she can't? I don't know. It's kind of ridiculous, isn't it? You're gonna do the blocking and tack. What what are you getting these maybe the guy that taught her how to say that played football. But it sounds kind of stupid coming from her. No offense, but yeah. And what what what do they do? What does the Supreme Court come up and and you know, they they they hassle some poor family bakery that doesn't want to bake a cake? You know, if the Amish don't have to do things because of their religion and the Indians don't have to do things because they're but but you know, Christians, fundamental Christians and American patriots, they're fair game. Oh no, you have to bake a cake for that person. No, go go to any go to some other baker. What what are you doing? The the legislature never should be regulating commerce at that level. And telling you, you know, they used to always say back in the day, you can't they'd say you can't um legislate morality. Well, you can sure as hell legislate immorality. Keep keep the government out of my bedroom. Yeah, I'm with you. Stop funding things that I don't believe in. Yeah, keep your laws off my body. Yes, keep your laws off my body too. It's not that complicated. So this this war on men, you know, we could call it a hundred years' war. It's about how long. It's about how long it's been. But you know, you you can't alter a contract after it's already made. The the good book says that God hates uh crooked scales, false judges, he hates them. He says that some judges would be they would be bribed for a uh uh uh for a pair of shoes. I mean we we got judges hiding illegal aliens. In violation of the Constitution, uh Alien Sedition Act, the separation of powers, the the the checks and balances, everything. But yeah, they're they weren't elected, but they're gonna just be the legislature. They don't even check with the Supreme Court. Is it okay if we do this? It has to trickle its way up there after all the damage has been done. So, you know, they're covenant breakers. They're covenant breakers. That's that's how the the wisdom literature referred to it. In the home and the schools, and the in the family, in the country, and the world, and the churches. They committed adultery. They married the government. The Democrat Party was their divorce lawyer. And they married the Democrat, that's why they vote Democrat almost exclusively. We started hearing about this gender gap, you know? I mean, if you took the resumes of George H. W. Bush, just take the resumes and Bill Clinton and forget Obama, but just Bill Clinton, he was a governor at least. But you know, it it if I took I challenged the guy at work, I said, you know what, his selection's coming up, George H. W. Bush versus Slick Willie, first time around. And I said, you know, just just just do me a favor. I know you're gonna vote for Slick Willie, but just just go go home and you know, this weekend, just imagine that we had a lottery and you won the lottery, and you're going to, you're gonna be the one who picks the president, and you the way you do it is by reviewing their two resumes. I don't want to bore you with it, but it was kind of like I think night and day is not a good comparison. It's more like the sun and us, you know, 93 million miles away in terms of the resume. But what what did the gender gap do? They went for him. And we talked about an early episode that it was because he was he was better looking. And the other guy was too old. Something that used to connote wisdom is now something to be made fun of. Unless you're Joe Biden. And you're stumbling around in your depends and falling on the ground, and that that's okay. That's okay because he's just a puppet for the the people that we really like. The the the the enemies. So so in politics and schools, what did they do? What did the Marxists do? They destroyed I mean, they took over politics, religion, and sex. Three fronts. When Slickwilly won the White House, Hillary said you're getting a two for one. She actually she actually had the audacity to say, you're getting a two for one. We're both presidents. How's that for some creepy lawyer from Arkansas via Chicago that ran a scam called Whitewater Gate, you know, and and and the Rose Law firm ran the shredder. Look it up if you can find anything once you get past ten layers of AI. She took over Al Gore's office and he had to he had to fight and argue about it. Like, what what what the H is that? He they had a revolt, you know. I I I went to a anyway, she she she she thought it was a two for one. She thought that she she thought that she could create Hillary care. That was before Obamacare. She thought that the first lady could create, she put the had this committee and spent all this money. Al Gore had to fight for the White House office back, because take it from her. Says that Gore and Clinton uh Slickwilly fought like a married couple, just awful. So anyway, so so kind of I I could go into all the mess that they created, but let's let's just talk. I I had a I had a question come in uh from a young man uh said that, hey, um I'd like you to talk more about what what the laws are now compared to what they are were then, what the what kind of things happen to cause things. So let's just go back a little bit to slick willy and hilary rotten cling on. So what happened was in you know, two years into their term, it's very common for somebody to uh for the the the the House and the Senate to flip, for there to be a a blue wave if the White House is red and a red wave if the White House is blue, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Brilliant. You know? Make sure you To some extent the founding fathers wanted it to be very hard, so we wouldn't have th, you know, uh one law every day created by these poltrons, these idiots. Uh that so they wanted it to be difficult, but but uh it it it doesn't really do any good to get somebody in there who's a muckraker and a change maker and a change agent and then saddle him with the opposite Congress so that nothing can get done. The problem is that nothing gets fixed. So it's it's that the mess has already been created and we can't clean it up. Oh, Trump might lose the house. It's very common for them to lose the house, and then they'll start impeaching them again. Send us money so that they don't impeach them again. Well, that's not gonna work. So, anyway, all of this crap. So, what happened? When when the Clintons took over, two for one and Al Gore II, thrown in, uh there was this thing where New York City had uh textbooks, and they were two very controversial textbooks. In New York City, it's always the bleeding edge. Look at Mom Dummy. You know, they always have to screw the country. It's been going that way ever since. But anyway, they put it they tried to introduce two textbooks called Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy's Roommate. Anybody remember this? Well, they they there was a backlash. There was a big problem. Remember our little saying, first we abhor, then we tolerate, then we embrace, then we're compelled to celebrate. We have to add that last line in. They're not happy with you tolerating. They could take over. They gotta force you, against your will, to give money and to celebrate something. Even if you're in the MLB, NFL, you gotta put on your outfit, you pink, you end racism, your blah, blah, blah, sing the black national, whatever you're gonna do. So it makes the NFL owners feel good. But anyway, they they introduced these two textbooks in the New York City school system. Heather has two mommies and daddy's roommate, and the fit hit the shan because all the soccer moms, they were not fully woke. They said, Oh no, no, I'd kind of like you to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic, you know, like we paid for. How about not this kind of social engineering? California Teachers Union, they took a million bucks and they spent it to campaign against Proposition 8, which was like uh one man, one woman in marriage. Minorities across the board. It was like the no men in women's sports. It was an 80-20 issue. It didn't matter. The women's union, I say women because it's California Teachers Union, many of which were not in favor of this, don't matter. They spent a million bucks that they don't have and they're always crying for money to defeat this. What does that have to do with education? Did you say nothing? You know? So we have all these, we have to pass these laws. Why did we even have to do Prop 8? It's like saying, uh, here's a new proposition. The sky has clouds in it sometimes, or the sky is sometimes blue. That's the law we have to pass? Don't we already have something on the I mean, what are we doing? And we're spending a million bucks. And then the government decides whether they're going to uh like Prop 168, I think. They decide uh we'll we were not gonna we're not gonna enforce it. We're not gonna we're not gonna abide by it, so which is anarchy, rebellion. We pass we pass a legitimate proposition, and they go, the schools put up banners. We will not honor Prop 161. The hospital, private hospital puts up a banner, we will not honor. What? And they weren't arrested, they weren't deported, they weren't called before the Supreme Court. I mean what what do you mean we will not honor a proposition? So anyway, Heather has two mommies and daddy's roommate. And the people rejected it. They had a huge backlash, and we got this real Republican Congress. Like uh we don't want social engineering, we don't want tyranny just because we said we'll take some tolerance. So where are we at today? Drag Queen story hour? Uh kidnapping kids, bringing kids across state lines like Tampon Tim and others, New Scom, dragging kids across state lines to mutilate them, to give them um uh chemical castration, experimental drugs, lucrative top-offs. That's what that uh sicko Rachel Levine, the admiral, Mr. Health, he he joked, you know, they they had tapes or emails of him joking about it's a top-off. It's called a top-off when you do a double mastectomy to a perfectly healthy person, a young person, their whole life ahead of them. Well, if we don't do that, you know, just an aside here, real quick, just an aside real quick. Uh I I think somebody said that Sigmund Sickman fraud, you know, Sigmund Freud, sick man fraud, I call him. He he uh he and was working with this physician, and they believed that all your neuroses and every all your problems were located in your nose. So they started doing operations on people's nose. This is like the Egyptians thinking that the liver is the source of love or something. I mean, that's how that's how advanced they were. But it is unfortunately they botched the a lot of the operations, and then now they had a sort of a malpractice thing, if they had that kind of thing in Europe. But they got they really got in disrepute over it. So, so what do we have today? We go from you talk about a slippery slope. We go, you know, the feminists and the Marxists, they brought us from Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy's Roommate. And it's gonna introduce this stuff. And everybody said, Oh no, hell no, no, no, we're not doing that. Don't do that to our kids. Do it on your own time. Have a club that people can go to and read those books, or do whatever you want, but don't do it on my time. You can't legislate morality. Stop it. So what would you have today? Drag queen story hour? You don't want to hear this? Or you don't know this? You know, those two don't mix. Don't stop your ears and go, I want to hear the guy's just negative. I don't want to hear this. So so what where did we wind up? What would be the equivalent of books today that would people would say, oh hell no? I don't know, I thought of a couple. Maybe Nana has a banana? How about The Admiral Wears Prada? How about Top Off Tony? Trans and Tall. How about Swimmer Jim is all tucked in? You know, if they came out with books like that, would you do you think people would freak out? Or have they just given up? Temecula teacher, I've got a degree in history. Ooh, she's just jumping all over this person. Uh the these two moms who are protesting this kind of curriculum crap. She goes, I got a degree in history. This is the teacher. This is their paid servant employee. I have a degree in history. She's just all over 'em, self doing a selfie of how her brave she is. And she's telling these moms who are paying her taxes that her children she's trying to warp. I'm on the right side of history. You're not. Caca de la vaca. You don't have any idea, woman. You have no idea. So, you know, what are they doing religion? You know, blah blah goes after Catholics. Affordable Care Act has to go, it has to go all the way with the Little Sisters of Mercy or what it has to go all the way to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court has to, Supreme Court's asleep at the switch. They should be preemptively jumping on it. No, you can't do that stuff. They don't have to wait until it bubbles up from all of these idiots judges that were appointed by uh leftists like the Ninth Circus Court of Schlemels, and it got up it got bubbled up to them now. Okay, well, we'll decide on it now. Meanwhile, they're just wreaking havoc. No, I'm doing an injunction. No, I'm gonna stop the whole government. I wasn't elected. Remember all the gritching about unelected people? So Oblabla goes after Catholics and tells them that. With Obamacare, they have to, they have to have uh they have to have uh condoms and and birth control and abortion and uh what what does Biden do? The good Catholic. I'm a Catholic. I went to Mass every day at 6 a.m. Where am I? Who am I? What am I here for? Liar? But anyway, he he doubles down on that. We've had fights, even just right now there's a fight in the Supreme Court because they're trying to tell compel religion. I thought we had a separation of church and state. You you're not supposed to allow preachers to tell you it would be better in God's order for you to vote for this candidate than that one when it's so obvious any fool could see it? But you're not allowed to say that because they don't want to hurt their tax status. That's a separation of church and state? Or is that the state controlling the church? Just asking. So what do we wind up? We we democratically elect a president and he goes to his little traditional um prayer invocation or whatever, ceremony, religious ceremony, and there's some hacked hair uh bishop witch that thinks she's a bishop or whatever, and she's chewing out Trump because he doesn't he he doesn't treat aliens the way Jesus would. What? Man, why he didn't stand up and say you're fired? How about a separation of church and state in that regard? So what are the Dodgers? You know, you you can't even like a sports team anymore. The Dodgers had this thing where the the sisters of perpetual indulgence. They wanted to have a festival uh uh on the gay day. Pride, pride, a month for pride, a month because of your sexual orientation. I guess black people get a month. Uh you know, I guess they have to have it too. But you know, what about the Dodgers that are Catholics? I mean, uh half of them are from the Dominican Republic or whatever. Uh Venezuela, Caribbean, aren't they aren't they aren't they kind of Catholic? Kiki Hernandez, who doesn't want to go to the White House, isn't he Puerto Rican? Doesn't w doesn't it matter? No no it doesn't matter. They'll they're gonna allow. So the first they said, no, you know, that'd be too offensive to let you few drag queens that like to dress up as nuns and act kinky. What? But but we won't go to the White House because Trump is so bad. This is where we're at. You know? The mem the MLB forces private citizens that you're gonna wear this slogan, you're gonna wear these pink shoes, you're gonna do this, you're gonna do that. What some of them have said, hey, I my religion teaches against that. Why can't we have that? Why can't we have that be okay? And the churches, you know, they they stratify everybody into different groups. Anyway, this Jeremiah Gunn show, gotta go.
