They want it to be all about choice, and then it denies the rights of both the men, the fathers, and it also denies the right of the zygote, the fetus, the baby, right? And so we're trying to sort these things out. These are not black and white propositions, by the way. No, these are things that have been push and pull in our country forever, you know, and it's going to continue to be push and pull. But the same folks that are having these arguments, you know, the more centrist of them, They pretty much get along, you know, and, you know, it's funny. We're talking about when we were kids, you know, people used to throw hands a lot more, but they weren't brutal. And the other thing that used to happen when we were kids, there's two things you didn't talk about our party, religion and politics. You just didn't do it. And now that's all anybody talks about is religion and politics. And the world is a more brutal place. I mean, these are lessons that I think as you get older, we're talking about, yeah, we're the old guys now. But, you know, what are the old guys? The old guys are some guys who have seen some stuff and they know how to apply knowledge. That's what wisdom is, the ability to apply knowledge. And that's what I see. I think it's what you see. And, you know, hopefully people will think that through a little bit. I don't want to keep hammering you the whole time. Do you want to ask me any questions? I know we've kind of been back and forth in this, but we don't often get to talk. So what do you want to ask me? Yeah, you know, let me think. You talk to a lot of people. You're doing multiple shows a week. You've been doing this a while. You've got a whole lot of shows in your inventory right now. Over the years, and as you're talking to people now, are you seeing, as someone who's reporting on things, who's going out and getting content, who gets great guests, are you seeing people kind of opening up and becoming aware of of this unrestricted warfare, fifth generation warfare, the Psyacs that are happening. Are you seeing more of an awareness or is it just more of a, I feel like something's going on more than I used to, but I can't name what it is. I mean, how, how, where was it when you started and where is it now as far as awareness level? I think the, the thing I'm more aware of than anything else that I can, and it's not so much fifth generation warfare, although I do write and talk and talk and think about, you know, work for a lot on the show and personally, but the, the pendulum seems to be swinging back in terms of what we're willing to accept in our day-to-day lives. You know, the truths that are being put out versus, you know, like you see parents standing up to racist ideals being put forth in, in school. We're understanding that, you know, you and I both know this, you go somewhere else and you'll see what happens if you're openly gay. Go try that in, I don't know, 85% of the other countries in the world, right? This isn't a bad place. And I think people are getting a little bit fed up with being told that they're bad people and being assigned some kind of evil outcome, you know, racism or some kind of phobia. I don't have an unrealistic fear of trans people. I'm just not, you know, that's not me at all, right? But that'll be assigned to me based upon be walking in the door, you know? And I think people are, are, are more and more fed up with that and they don't want to be preached to, and they don't want to be assigned evil. So I think that has begun to change. Here's the thing is that there's no other side that's reliable. When the pendulum swings, there's nothing that's going to catch the pendulum because it's the right thing. It's just going to go in the other direction, whatever direction that is for a while. And that isn't right and left. It's just, where the pendulum goes and there will be bullshit going in that direction. The thing that I try to capture probably more than anything else on this show is just the beauty of what we are as people. Sometimes we got to talk about hard stuff like we're doing today, but sometimes we get to talk to people who build wonderful lives on YouTube talking about, I got a dude coming on later this week. His focus is tractors on YouTube. And he talks about how to work a tractor, how to upgrade a tractor and shit like that. That makes you smile. Just like you just did. Right? It does. It does. I got a new life. Right. I got a dude on my list just a couple of miles south of me. He is his second generation surfboard shaper and he can make anything out of anything. He made his own camper trailer. Right. And that dude is incredible. His last name is Martin. You guys can look him up. Look up Martin shapes on Instagram. And so so that's more of what I what I do is I try to be a beacon of something besides what the bullshit is. And if I do cover topical things, I school shootings. We don't say banal stuff. stuff that just drives clicks. We talk about, Hey, this is really hard. You think you're a teacher and you're going to become tactically proficient. You're talking to a dude that can't do that. And I'm pretty fucking bad. As you put a pistol in my hand and you get in a gunfight, you better look the fuck out. Right? However, do I want to get into it? I always say this in Boone, you'll get this. If you want to see how hard it is to shoot and be around kids, try to hit a target with the pistol and, and be at, Oh, I don't know, 30, 30 feet. And now walk in place.
